My best throws are those that never rise above 10 to 15 feet, then fade when about five feet up at the end of the flight. But, it is a mystery to me how to make this happen consistently. A lot of my throws climb to 50 feet, fade and fall way left, and are about 50 feet shorter then they should be as a result. I recently discovered that the ball of the palm right behind the first finger - the one under the first knuckle of the pointer finger - should really be on top of the rim: not the bottom. That seemed to help. I understand the leading edge of the disc should be angled down (nose down) somewhat on release, which I think I am accomplishing by angling my wrist down. but I'm just not sure. I swear, learning to land a tailwheel ultralight wasn't this hard!
Could some of you give me some pointers on how to get the disc to fly level a few feet above the ground without climbing - consistently???

Shirley Temple's 12 Biggest Moments
"Dirty 30s are the best," Nettles once told fellow country star Miranda Lambert. She explained to REDBOOK: "I've had so much more fun in my 30s than I did in my 20s! In your 20s, there are a lot of pressures to try to figure out who you want to be. You have all these responsibilities, yet you don't really have certain resources or help. It's a challenging time. In my 30s, I feel much more grounded."
"The first time I was at a work event after [having] Magnus was when I presented at the Billboard Awards. I got a lot of positive feedback, but in it people would say negative things about themselves: 'My baby is a year old and you make me look like s--t!' That didn't sit well with me. I had a team of people to put me in as flattering a light as possible. That's part of my job. [The public just] sees the snapshot. I laughed about that dress; it was like the team had to get me in it with a crowbar. There's no magic bullet to losing pregnancy weight. I want people to be gentle with themselves."

Los Angeles, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Victor Martinez homered in the top of the 10th inning to help the Detroit Tigers split a two-game series with a 7-6 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday.
Detroit led 6-3 entering the bottom of the ninth when Adrian Gonzalez greeted Tigers closer Joe Nathan (2-0) with a leadoff homer to center.
Nathan then walked Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp before giving up a single to Juan Uribe that loaded the bases. Yasiel Puig pinch-hit for Tim Federowicz and struck out for the first out in the inning.
Pinch-hitter Scott Van Slyke followed with a groundout that scored Ethier and put runners at the corners with two down. Dee Gordon then slapped a single into right field to tie the game at 6-6 and send it to extras.
Martinez, who tied the game on Tuesday with a single in the ninth, quickly helped Detroit regain the lead with a long drive off Kenley Jansen (0-1) that cleared the wall in right and made it 7-6.
Joba Chamberlain allowed an infield single to Hanley Ramirez to leadoff the home half of the 10th and was immediately replaced by Ian Krol, who struck out Gonzalez and Ethier before giving way to Al Alburquerque.
Alburquerque needed only four pitches to induce a groundout off the bat of Kemp and nail down his first save of the season.
Martinez finished 3-for-3 with two RBI, while Nick Castellanos hit his first career home run and drove in three as the Tigers snapped their two-game losing streak. Ian Kinsler went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and Austin Jackson added an RBI in the win.
Tigers starter Anibal Sanchez labored through five innings, allowing three runs -- one earned -- on six hits and one walk with six strikeouts.
Gordon went 3-for-5, Carl Crawford had two doubles with a run scored and Ethier also knocked in a run for LA, which had its two-game winning streak snapped.
Josh Beckett, who was activated from the 15-day disabled list prior to the game, made the start for LA and surrendered five runs -- four earned -- over four innings with five strikeouts and a walk.
Kinsler singled in the first inning, then stole second and third around a Miguel Cabrera walk. Martinez drove Kinsler in with a sacrifice fly to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead after one.
Crawford doubled before moving up to third on a wild pitch from Sanchez with one out in the home half of the first. Ramirez followed with a walk to put runners at the corners.
Los Angeles worked a double steal as Gonzalez struck out and Crawford swiped home to knot the score up at 1-1. Ramirez moved up to third on a throwing error from Martinez during the play and was driven in on an Ethier single in the next at-bat to give the Dodgers a one-run lead.
Sanchez helped his own cause at the plate in the next inning. Beckett struck out Castellanos and Tyler Collins before Alex Gonzalez reached on a fielding error by Gordon.
Sanchez then knocked in Alex Gonzalez with a double to center field to tie it 2-2.
Much like his counterpart, Beckett helped himself in the bottom of the second. Uribe reached third with one out after he singled, advanced to second on a passed ball and then moved up to third on a groundout from Federowicz.
Beckett proceeded to drop a bunt down and the squeeze play pushed the Dodgers in front, 3-2, after two frames.
Detroit kept the scoring going in the third with a two-out rally to grab the lead. Martinez singled to left, then Jackson ripped one down the right-field line that skipped into the stands for a ground-rule double.
Castellanos followed with a deep drive to center that hit the top of the wall and bounced over for his first big league homer.
The Tigers added an insurance run in the seventh when Jackson skied a sacrifice fly to center that allowed Kinsler to cross home for a 6-3 lead.
Drew Smyly, who relieved Sanchez to begin the sixth, allowed just one hit in three innings of scoreless ball before Nathan blew his second save of the season.
Game Notes
Jose Dominguez was sent to Triple-A Albuquerque to make room for Beckett on the LA roster ... Collins collected his first Major League hit with an infield single in the eighth ... Detroit's Torii Hunter missed the tilt after banging into the right-field wall in foul territory attempting to make a catch in Tuesday's game ... Gordon stole his fourth base of the season, but was also caught stealing for the first time ... LA had three errors ... Sanchez threw 110 pitches in his five-inning outing ... Detroit was 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position ... The Dodgers were 3-for-10 with runners in scoring position.

Farmer's Market kicks off on the south coast
COOS BAY, Ore. -- The Farmer's Market in Coos Bay has opened for the season.
Vendors lined Central Avenue in downtown Coos Bay from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm on Wednesday.
From baked goods and fresh produce to jewelry and flowers, the first farmer's market of the season looked to be a success.
For one local shopper, Molly Holmes, heading out to the market does more than just fill her cupboard. "It's great weather, lots of people out here," she said." "The food variety, you got hot dogs, there's bread samples, a lot of different local businesses. It's a great way to support your community and be around people, and see your friends."
The market will run every Wednesday until mid-Fall.
With about 50 vendors every week, the Coos Bay Downtown Association is hoping the market will be even better this year.

Words by Mr Benjamin Seidler
I catch Mr David Gyasi at the tail end of his photoshoot. He is just about to step into a cab to begin a journey to Cardiff for a purpose he's not allowed to disclose. "It feels strange to be so secretive," he says, "but I had the same situation with Batman, which I'm only now allowed to say I'm in. I'm in The Dark Knight Rises, but I can't say what part I'm playing. Still, it's exciting."
Mr Gyasi credits his new-found upward trajectory to the recent decision to focus on his career. "About two years ago," he explains, "my wife and I got into a position where I could concentrate solely on acting. We decided that I'd only take scripts that really sing to me."
Now age 32, in the past 10 years he has gone from bit parts in soap operas to a role in the upcoming epic feature film Cloud Atlas. The highly anticipated film version of Mr David Mitchell's Booker Prize-shortlisted novel sees Mr Gyasi star alongside Mr Tom Hanks, Mr Hugh Grant and Ms Halle Berry. In it, he plays characters from three different centuries, creating a movie that is "mad, but beautiful. I saw some clips and it's amazing how they've interwoven scenes from six different eras". Essentially, the movie is about the lives of souls travelling through time in different bodies.
Mr Gyasi depicting Victor in the BBC drama White Heat, March 2012
Cloud Atlas looks set to be a complex and powerful drama, and in that regard not unlike Mr Gyasi's other project, about racially charged 1960s London, the BBC series White Heat. "Some of [that subject matter] shocked me, particularly when you think that we're only 50 years on. My character Victor is a law student from Kingston, Jamaica, in London on a scholarship. He comes to the UK full of optimism, and that's quite quickly shaken as he finds the UK is not a country welcoming him with open arms. He quickly has to adjust to survive."
The fact that Mr Gyasi could pull off all the different styles of waistcoats in the images above is a testament to both his skills as an actor and the true versatility of this natty piece, which was revived by many designers this season. It is part of a classic tailoring trend that has gained real traction, just like Mr Gyasi's career.
"Traditional, tailored, and a sense of enjoyment and occasion" is how Mr Gyasi describes his off-duty style, which revolves around tailoring. Describing his native English style, he says, "We'll wear brogues in the country. I always think Kanye West said it best in that Estelle song: 'Dressed smart like a London bloke. Before he speaks his suit bespoke'. It's nice that in America they look at us like that. And I think it's true."

Chippenham-based Good Energy, the renewable electricity supplier, has submitted a planning application to Wiltshire Council for a 4.9MW solar farm between Marston and Worton.
Covering about 25 acres, it would generate approximately 4,728 MWh a year, enough electricity to supply around 1,100 homes .
A public consultation was held in May 2013 at Marston and Worton Village Hall where local communities were invited to view and comment on plans, which include a community fund of £4,900 per annum (rising with inflation) for the 30-year lifetime of the solar farm.
The company has also commissioned an independent ecological plan to create new wildlife habitats including planting wildflower meadows and new hedgerows, setting up beetle banks and installing bat and bird boxes, in and around the solar farm.
Juliet Davenport OBE, CEO and founder of Good Energy, said: "As well as helping to reduce our reliance on imported energy and move away from fossil fuels, our proposed solar farm at Lower End Farm will bring some great benefits to the local community as well as enhance habitats for valuable local wildlife.
"The site is well concealed, with further screening being provided through the additional planting and enhancement of existing hedgerows."
Rob and Margaret Elliott, owners of Lower End Farm since 1982, said: "We are extremely pleased to be working with Good Energy knowing that we are able to help meet the need for more of the UK's electricity demand to be met from renewable sources.
"The organic, free-range egg business currently run on site will continue alongside the solar farm.
"We are also planning to install new chicken sheds which will include rooftop solar panels, helping to further reduce the carbon footprint of the farm."
Solar panels would be mounted in rows about five to seven metres apart and around 90cm above the ground.
This would allow for sheep to be brought from a nearby farm to graze around the panels.
Full details of the planning application can be found on the Wiltshire Council website using the planning application number 14/02273/FUL

KEXP Reviews
|Browse by one of the following:
- (Rough Trade)
This brother-and-sister duo takes open inspiration from The Who's early rock-opera experiments ("A Quick One While He's Away," "Rael") on their exhilarating (if occasionally disorienting) second album, a wild, dizzying ride through a musical funhouse with the duo leaping from one style to another, often many times in the course of one song. You'll hear bits of blues, cabaret, '60s psych-pop, prog-rock, punk primitivism, synth-pop, saloon piano, sea chanteys and lots more spiced with zany carnival and otherworldly sci-fi sounds. Delightfully surreal lyrics add to the playful atmosphere. Blueberry Boat sounds like it was conceived by precocious children with attention-deficit disorder: Sometimes tiring but often charming, it's sure to be one of the most distinctive albums released this year. 6/21/2004 - Don Yates

Appellation Mountain's Abby Sandel finds some truly extraordinary names in this week's baby name news.
Too often I'm casually dismissive of Top 100 names. It isn't that they're not likable – most popular names are tremendously appealing, otherwise they'd never reach such great heights. Still, mentions of Isabella and Chloe, Noah and Logan are so constant that they fade into the background.
Except that sometimes there's a story about a name that reminds me of how wrong-headed that attitude really is. The tenth anniversary of September 11th included so many heart-breaking accounts, but here's the one I noticed: a little girl called Grace, whose father died in the attacks just weeks before she was born. In the face of unthinkable tragedy, her name shines.
On to the names in the news this week:
Enoch – Sweet and somber at once, Gus Van Sant's quirky little indie flick Restless includes a romantic hero called Enoch, along with characters named Annabel, Mabel, Alger, and Hiroshi. It screened at Cannes in the spring, and opens in the US next week. Old Testament boys' names have been vogue for years, but Enoch is rarely used. I'm not sure about his sound, but I do love his meaning – dedicated.
Madison – From the obscure to the over-exposed, Spice Girl Mel B's third daughter wears the wildly popular appellation Madison. It turns out that Melanie let her oldest daughter, twelve-year-old Phoenix Chi, choose her new sister's name. This makes Melanie far braver than most of us! I wonder if it also suggests that Phoenix would have preferred less of a stand-out name? The family also includes Mel's daughter Angel Iris. Dad is movie producer Stephen Belafonte, father to Giselle. The four girls' names defy categorization, but Phoenix, Giselle, Angel, and Madison still sound like sisters.

Report: Nearly Half of South Dakota Pregnancies Unintended
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) – A new report indicates that nearly half of South Dakota's pregnancies are unintended, and 13 percent of those result in abortions. The highest rates are among low-income women.
The report, by the nonprofit Guttmacher Institute, is meant to encourage states to promote the use of contraceptives. Sarah Stoesz, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota, says in a statement that unintended pregnancy is a "serious public health issue."
She says the most effective way to reduce unintended pregnancies is to increase women's access to contraception.
The Argus Leader reports that anti-abortion advocates praise the abortion rate because it's lower than it is in neighboring state.
Tony Venhuizen, senior advisor to Gov. Dennis Daugaard, says the comparatively low figure is "good news."

But I feel like I'm 23.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.

|Strength of Schedule Report
November 15, 2011
Future Shock
Baltimore Orioles Top 11 Prospects
Previous Rankings: 2011 | 2010 | 2009 | 2008
System In 20 Words Or Less: Elite-level draft picks lead to a pair of studs, but without them, it's a mess.
Five-Star Prospects
Nine More:
1. Dylan Bundy, RHP
Year in Review: Top high school arm had an outside shot at becoming the first prep righty to go first overall before ultimately landing in Baltimore with the fourth overall pick.
2. Manny Machado, SS
Year in Review: No. 3 overall pick in 2010 impressed in a full-season debut that was interrupted by a knee injury.
3. Jonathan Schoop, INF
Year in Review: Curacao native built on an impressive showing in the New York-Penn League by performing well at both A-level clubs.
4. Nick Delmonico, 3B
Year in Review: Seen as a tough, if not nearly impossible sign out of high school, the Orioles surprised many by signing Delmonico to a $1.525 million deal at the deadline.
5. Jason Esposito, 3B
Year in Review: After turning down huge money from the Royals three years ago, Esposito didn't live up to expectations at Vanderbilt but still landed in the second round.
6. Robert Bundy, RHP
Year in Review: Physical right-hander was among the Carolina League's top pitchers but struggled after late-season promotion to Double-A.
7. Parker Bridwell, RHP
Year in Review: 2010 over-slot picked impressed in the short-season leagues.
8. Dan Klein, RHP
Year in Review: Looked like he was lined up for a September call-up before shoulder problems loomed again, this time leading to surgery.
9. Ryan Adams, 2B
Year in Review: Found himself in the big leagues in September but did not do enough to guarantee a job in 2012.
10. L.J. Hoes, OF
Year in Review: Proved a lot by hitting over .300 at Double-A but left scouts wondering what else he can do.
11. Eduardo Rodriguez, LHP
Year in Review: Venezuelan limited Gulf Coast League hitters to a .177 batting average in U.S. debut.
The Sleeper: A 21-year-old Dominican who just pitched in the Gulf Coast League, left-hander Jorge Rivera has above average velocity and a plus curveball and projects as a potential reliever with more than just situational potential.
Top 10 Talents 25 And Under (born 4/1/86 or later)
Wieters began to come into his own in 2011, and it should be noticed that catchers often take longer than others to reach their peak due to the additional demands of their job. He was an All-Star in 2011 and will be again in 2012, only better. Opponents caught up to Britton in the second half of last year, so he'll need to make adjustments and utilize his secondary offerings more, but the ability to do so is there. Matusz is a dart throw, and the number of thoughts about exactly what has gone wrong are as wide-ranging as the projections for what he does in 2012; what you are looking at is the mid-range. Bell has regressed but still might be the best third baseman the team has right now. Hunter is a somewhat-established back-end starter, but his inability to miss bats is a huge concern.
Summary: The Orioles have a significant one-two combination in Bundy and Machado, but things go quickly downhill from there, and the system just doesn't match up with other American League East powerhouses. Nor does the talent at the big league level. Nor does the ownership. It's not going to be easy for new general manager Dan Duquette.

Matusz, Arrieta, Tillman... Cabrera, Penn, Lis, Loewen... Matt Riley... Offhand the only top pitching prospect the O's have had in the last like 15 years who really succeeded was Bedard (Britton merits cautious optimism). Is this just extraordinarily bad luck or is there something systematically wrong with their ability to transition pitching talent to the Majors?
Nov 15, 2011 01:31 AM
It's a good question. I don't think there is some obvious thing to point at and say they can't develop pitchers.
Nov 15, 2011 09:33 AM
Drew Miller
What happened to Tillman, anyway, to knock him off the lists?
Nov 15, 2011 12:20 PM
Pat Folz
For some reason I thought he was too old to be on the U-25 list, but yeah he's still just 23... Is he really less valuable than Tommy Hunter at this point? Because if so: ouch.
Nov 15, 2011 12:36 PM
If he was a month younger, where would you rank Jake Arrieta on the 25 and under list.
Nov 15, 2011 06:18 AM
I can see making an argument for Bundy over Machado, though I would disagree. But Bundy over an All-Star MLB catcher who just two years ago, BP was touting as a combination of Mike Piazza and Johnny Bench?

Would love to read some of your thoughts on the Matusz question. Thanks.

Nov 15, 2011 08:05 AM
Noted ... but, I don't recall him weighing in to rebut it, either. Isn't KG one of those in charge of the site?
Nov 15, 2011 08:22 AM
People are allowed to have their opinions at BP, and I think your assessment of what Steven wrote misses the depth and subtely, where he was saying more about the hype, much of it created here, than the player himself.
Nov 15, 2011 09:37 AM
Yes, I obviously overlooked Steven's depth and subtlety in the original article. Thanks for the reply. I'll definitely be on the lookout for nuance in the future.
Nov 15, 2011 12:02 PM
Kevin, what concerns do you have over the general loss of velocity by Orioles pitching prospects and do you think this will be something changed by the new front office? Also will the Orioles treat Bundy like the Pirates treated Tallion or will they take the gloves off for the most part and just limit the total innings on the year if necessary?
Nov 15, 2011 08:30 AM
Nov 15, 2011 08:40 AM
I think a "BP groupthink" article on what has happened to Matusz would be a good read. Could we get one?
Nov 15, 2011 09:23 AM
John Carter
Yes, some insight on him would be great. We can see that Kevin has downgraded Matusz below Schoop a four star prospect.
Nov 15, 2011 10:20 AM
Nice work, Kevin! These prospect lists make the offseason bearable.
Nov 15, 2011 12:34 PM
Doesn't it make sense to deal Wieters either now or at the deadline to get some serious minor league depth? It is sad to say but they probably won't even be competitive during most of Wieters' prime. You could get a serious package from dealing Wieters and have all your best assets around the same age. Why not?
Nov 15, 2011 12:39 PM
I thought Delmonico was a catcher; have I lost my mind or has he changed positions as a pro?
Nov 15, 2011 12:44 PM
Nick Faleris
I'm a Hoes believer as a three-star, but other than that almost exactly how I tiered out as well. Nice job with the list, Kevin. Think you were spot on with projecting these kids.
Nov 15, 2011 13:21 PM
Happy birthday Dylan Bundy. Ephemera: Bundy shares his birthday with Gus Bell, Randy Niemann, and America Recycles Day.
Nov 15, 2011 14:27 PM
If Hoes was an infielder at one time, is 3B a possibility? An empty .300 would look better there than in LF.
Nov 15, 2011 15:35 PM
So the Bundy family named their kids Bob and Dylan? Thank goodness Mom and Dad weren't big Engelbert Humperdinck fans...
Nov 15, 2011 16:09 PM
What do you feel is in store for Matt Hobgood?
Nov 16, 2011 11:13 AM
Best offensive tackle the O's have had since Cal Pickering. But at least Cal also had "baseball player" on his resume.

We are now one day from Dynamo Trials 2011. Thankfully there is no Academy training today, as I can use the day to rest after the past two training sessions. They always say that the body hurts more the second day after an intense workout, and if that's the case, tomorrow will not be a good day.
Last night's session was much tougher than I expected it to be. After a quick warm-up, the players were split into two groups. Group A ran sprints with U-18 head coach Scot Fraser, while group B worked on various exercises with Academy assistant coach John DeWitt. For the group that ran sprints, players started at the endline and ran 50 yards before jogging back to the starting point. They then ran 60 yards (and jogged back), 70 yards (and jogged back), 80 yards, 90 yards and 100 yards before jogging back to the beginning. After the 100-yard run, the sprints decreased in increments of 10 until the final sprint of 50 yards. In total there were 11 sprints. After the last sprint, the group did a slow jog around the field before returning to do the 11 sprints again. After group B finished their sprints, they switched with group A and the moved over to a six-station circuit with coach DeWitt. I was in the group that did the sprints second, and even now, I'm not sure if that was beneficial or not.
Each station in the circuit lasted for one minute and ranged from lunges, to ab workouts, to changing direction and sprinting short distances. After each group completed the six stations, there was a short water break before the players started the circuit over again. The second time around, each station was a similar exercise to the first circuit but with a slight variation. In total, the group with coach DeWitt completed the circuit three times. By the end of the third circuit, I had little energy left in my legs to perform the sprints with coach Fraser. Unfortunately, quitting was not an option, and I completed the circuit three times and all of the sprints, albeit a bit slower than some of the players who are in better shape than I am.
After the first hour of conditioning, the players were broken into three teams for games of 8 v. 8. I was assigned to play left back, which is not a position I am unfamiliar with, but certainly not my strongest as I am a natural right-footed player. The field was broken into three zones with three defenders in the back zone, three midfielders in the middle zone, and two forwards in the front zone. Players were only allowed to use two touches and needed to remain within their zone. If team A had the ball, one defender could move into the midfield zone to help with the attack, and if the ball moved into the forward zone, one midfielder could move forward to help them. But if another midfielder wanted to make a run into the forward zone, the original midfielder needed to get back to his original zone. Essentially only one player at a time could push forward into the zone in front of them.
Unfortunately, my team didn't fare so well, which probably had something to do with the fact that two of the three defenders (myself and a volunteer coach who played in running shoes) do not play soccer on a consistent basis. As for my own game, I thought I did all right. I made the passes I should make and missed a few of the ones that were tougher. My marking could still use some improvement, but for now I will chalk that up to just being tired by the end of the session.
Tomorrow morning I find out if all this work has paid off. The fitness portion of the tryout is at 10 a.m. at the Houston Amateur Sports Park. There are three separate drills we will have to do, and I'll go in further detail about them during my next blog. We'll also have a videographer out there so you can see what all the players have to do. Regardless of whether or not I advance to the skills portion on Sunday, we'll be sure to have a videographer at the field to show you that portion of the tryout as well.
As always, thanks for reading the blog and I really appreciate the support I have gotten along the way. Hope everyone has a good weekend and don't forget to watch the Dynamo take on Sporting KC, Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m.!

The Marin Civic Center's discretionary spending account, a perk cherished by supervisors as an important community service but blasted by critics as a political "slush fund," is in line for a facelift after years of controversy.
The county administration, citing "public concerns" about the program that enables supervisors to spend as they please by handing out grants to favorite civic groups, wants to change the funding procedure "to keep the benefits" while addressing criticism. The plan skirts several of the strictest reforms urged by the grand jury.
County Administrator Matthew Hymel proposed cutting the program's budget 14 percent by capping it at $300,000 a year, limiting grants to allocations between $1,000 and $10,000, and shifting the public focus from individual supervisors to his own office under a "countywide allocation" system administered by his staff. The county board will review the plan Tuesday.
Although a key recommendation stemming from a recent grand jury probe involved removing control of disbursements from supervisors entirely, Hymel's plan does not do so. The new program administered by his staff would require that grants be sponsored by a supervisor.
"It would not be cost-effective or meet our goal of being responsive to emerging needs if the Board of Supervisors and the board aides were completely removed from providing input on funding requests," Hymel said of the purse string issue. "Therefore, we are recommending that any funding request would need board sponsorship to be considered for funding."
Although dubbed a "countywide" rather than individual supervisorial district program, the overall allocation goal would be "geographical equity," Hymel added, a policy meaning that each supervisorial district would get a share of the funding pie.
Allocations would go to nonprofit agencies or "other government partners," funding of sponsored requests would occur three times a year, and "unspent balances" would be returned to the county treasury. Currently, if an individual supervisor does not spend a $65,000 personal budget allocation, the money is rolled over for spending the next year, and funding is allowed to mount. The county board thus began this fiscal year with $900,000 to spend on pet projects as it pleased.
"This program allows us to respond to important community needs," Hymel asserted of his plan.
Hymel's proposal follows a similar pitch by Supervisor Steve Kinsey, who called for changes last December, several weeks before the civil grand jury concluded the program must be strictly regulated or abolished. "At issue is not whether community service funds provide value to Marin but whether they provide that value in ways that appear to, or in fact do, serve the political interests of the incumbents," the jury said. "Inevitably, alliances are created and favor is likely curried as a result of such disbursements."
Although the administration plan incorporates a number of the 2013 jury's suggestions, several of its strictest proposals were dropped, including disbursement control and the panel's conclusion that no pet project money should be allocated if other departments are asked to cut their budgets. The jury also said grants should not be used for a recipient's ongoing operation expenses — and should not be made to the same organization in consecutive years.
Hymel's reform program is the latest twist in the saga of a perk that has prompted more than a decade of controversy over the propriety of officials spending as they please.
Several years ago, supervisors cut the annual budget of the 20-year-old program from $550,000 to $350,000, and, at urging of Supervisor Judy Arnold, made funding decisions more transparent. But critics remained unimpressed, with Fairfax Councilman David Weinsoff recently voting against accepting $15,000 from Supervisor Katie Rice's discretionary or "community service" fund to help pay for a town ballfield project.
The fund first drew the ire of the civil grand jury a decade ago, with jurors saying it nurtured political favor. No comparable county in the state provides its supervisors with similar personal spending accounts.
Last fiscal year, Supervisor Arnold dipped the deepest into the fund, doling out $84,250 for community and charity groups, followed by Kinsey, at $73,193. Susan Adams spent $68,961; Kate Sears, $52,550, and Rice, $20,979.

The S&P (SPY) continues its steady grind higher despite paltry volume. It was a mixed day in the indices as the S&P and Dow finished the day positive while the Nasdaq closed the day in the red as its largest component Apple (AAPL) weighed on the index.
The financials and homebuilders led the charge higher today, which has been a familiar tune over the past several months. The Financial Sector ETF (XLF) broke out to new highs while the Homebuilders ETF (XHB) perked up after several days of corrective action off highs.

En Gypsy Couture 06: Trinkets
Last night Mercury and Saturn brought together an evening of incredible intuitive energy mixed with inner elders and fairytale meditations. Plus the night carried very special energy as an important meeting discussing stem cell research was taking place the same time our class was convening. It's been a really magical time as of late. The tarot deck is coming along splendidly and the classes I am teaching with Sherene are going remarkably well. Everything is in motion, although communication is a bit off. I'll just say that the upcoming retrograde is poking it's way in a little early.
Mercury turns retrograde December 26th, 2009 at 21 Capricorn - 10:32 am EST
Mercury turns direct January 15th, 2010 at 5 Capricorn - 12:48 pm EST
For a little advice on how to cope with those pesky retrogrades take a look at our Constellation blog on coping with retrogrades.
Many wonderful things have been showing up in the mail as well as in person. Belly dance Goddess Blanca recently brought a gorgeous box of jewels to the class. Blanca has a wonderful sense of style and any gift from her is truly a blessing. The beautiful necklaces pictured below are from her as well as the wonderful bracelet. Another surprise was the gorgeous glass hummingbird that made it's way to me from Galina Krasskova. Hummingbirds have always been close to my heart as they represent a pure love. Other wonderments to arrive were Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim which I will recommend to everyone. It is an incredibly entertaining read and almost impossible to put down and Dame Darcy's Death by Doll cd.
I'm back to painting tarot tonight. I'l be posting cards I need reference and models for so keep your eyes open for the post.

Unspoken, subtle parts of a bargaining process--also known as the shadow negotiation--can set the tone for a successful negotiation. Deborah Kolb and Judith Williams, whose book The Shadow Negotiation was the starting point for this article, say there are three strategies businesspeople can use to guide these hidden interactions. Power moves are used when two negotiating parties hold unequal power. These strategies, such as casting the status quo in an unfavorable light, can help parties realize that they must negotiate: they will be better off if they do and worse off if they don't. Process moves affect how negotiation issues are received by both sides in the process, even though they do not address substantive issues. Working outside of the actual bargaining process, one party can suggest ideas or marshal support that can shape the agenda and influence how others view the negotiation. Appreciative moves alter the tone or atmosphere so that a more collaborative exchange is possible. These strategic moves don't guarantee that all bargainers will walk away winners, but they help to get stalled negotiations moving--out of the dark of unspoken power plays and into the light of true dialogue.
To understand how to negotiate more effectively by clarifying the unspoken assumptions that shape how negotiators interact, whose opinions get heard, and whose interests hold sway.

Hi ngodrup,
However, every Dzogchen practitioner does have a personal investment. Does the potential student "gamble" on an unauthenticated terma, or do they practice termas that have been authenticated and recognized with the history of a lineage behind them. The personal investment is immense since one's liberation is at stake.
I think ngodrup clearly means unless one is contemplating taking teachings or wangs in the Aro mandala. . that is "personal" investment.. if we are not contemplating this in the first place, clearly our liberation is not at stake.

What do you think of the conspiracies surrounding Sandy Hook?
I don't think this was some sort of conspiracy but was instead the product of a depressed and/or confused person. My intuition tells me that if the person had been mellowed out stoned to the hilt on pot with one hand on the joystick and the other in a supersized box of french fries, this would not have happened.
Here's what I've seen...
Family part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Drills 2
Another oddity
Memorial page [clearer version] [alt version]
Ben Swann of Fox 19 news
3 shooters
The audition
The followup
Detailed Research and Analysis of the events
Part 2
Part 3
(Updated) Evidence w/ lot of detail
I haven't yet seen the film that seems to be going around: The Sandy Hook Shooting - Fully Exposed
I think the events at Sandy Hook probably actually happened, but what worries me is the changing details on all the mainstream news stories. (ie, did he shoot down the door or did the school let him in?)
I say this not because it really matters, but because the liberals can mess with small details to produce the "story" they want, even if it didn't transpire in that fashion.
I don't know if the state would/could totally manufacture a story like this (which has actual witnesses and victims), but I do think that they screw with the details and exploit the crisis to get what they want.
This seems to be the video that is stirring the conspiracy theorists:
I have found that this Reddit article does a very good job of debunking most, if not all, of the conspiracy claims.
I think that the event was orchestrated by the government to pass more gun control laws.
If gun control laws lessen/dont change then im wrong.
"Since people are concerned that 'X' will not be provided, 'X' will naturally be provided by those who are concerned by its absence.""The sweetest of minds can harbor the harshest of men."
Prime:I have found that this Reddit article does a very good job of debunking most, if not all, of the conspiracy claims.
Really? I thought it did a pretty lousy job at it. In fact, I can reasonably see it causing some people to be more suspicious rather than less. It nails the obvious stuff and tip toes around the less obvious stuff without actually debunking it.

It nails the obvious stuff and tip toes around the less obvious stuff without actually debunking it.
Please be more specific. What does it fail to address?
I always thought it was a conspiracy.
Mindcontrol + drugs=politically expedient "incident".
Luckily it backfired somewhat.
I think that it is a small concern to determine whether it really qualifies as a false flag or if it was indeed the act of a disturbed person.
It really doesn't matter at this point to amass more intel on government shady black ops. People know government was aware of Pearl Harbor, and they've actually pulled stuff like the Bay of Pigs fiasco and the false flag incident on the Gulf of Tonkin.
Government can get away with it, saving face and saying they have their own rotten apples. People will buy it.
What needs to be pointed out is pretty simple: if you pack a lot of kids in a building everyday, and you do not allow law abiding citizens to carry weapons around to protect them, you have just created the perfect target for easy political exploits.
I personally think that the shootings didn't happen.
I think the state, in the form of psychiatry - which has long been its secret weapon under the guise of medicine, is tampering with troubled peoples minds to carry out political crimes.
Drugs induce suicidal behaviour - it's in the product pamphlets that come with many of the drugs. NLP can apparently induce suicidal behaviour, too. Psychiatric experiments have produced ways to carry out political crimes at arms length. The media puts the story out in a manner which portends the orginal objectives of pro-slavery individuals. Those individuals you find in and outside the state but the state provides the perfect means for them to be really efficient in carrying out their obsession. Psychiatry is a group of professionals who's objective is to enslave the planet. And this is not simply a few rotten apples here and there... it starts right at the highest levels - in the APA. That objective may be unstated or denied but that doesn't change their actions - what they have been doing.
Is it a conspiracy? Doesn't totalitarianism always start out as a conspiracy? Or is there no such threat? Why would you publicize it when we have only recently seen the effects of such a system in the former Soviet Union?
@jimaustri: Excellent points. CIA has a well-documented interest in psychiatry going back to at least MKULTRA. It is inconceivable that CIA does not have active agents within the ranks of psychiatry, from practicing to academic to APA.
Clayton -
Jesse Ventura urges caution regarding Sandy Hook CTs. Words of wisdom. As difficult as it is to imagine, there really are people with nothing better to do with themselves than sit around all day and dream up stuff like this. Which, by the way, is a nice confirmation of just how important (factual) CTs really are: if the Establishment will expend so much resources combatting CTs, then they must perceive them as a real danger.
Keep up the good work!
From my recollection, Ventura isn't exactly the quickest guy on the block. He seems to be on the right track most of the time, and seems to eventually come around...but even after alleged "years" of research and study, he still ends up getting various things wrong, and goes about addressing things in a very poor way...and that's after him initially saying things like he does in that piece. That's actually a great expositiion of Ventura and his MO on this sort of thing in a nutshell. I'm not completely sure what his motivation is, particularly after experiencing and seeing all the things he has...He still comes off as a little naive and too trusting at times. And this is a guy who hosts a show called "Conspiracy Theory".
But if naysayers are so sure of the official story (or at least sure that those questioning it are wrong),
Someon please debunk all of these "anomalies"...

They were outraged at the lack of regulation that allowed over 10,500 different chemicals to be used in personal care products even though only 11% had been tested for safety. They were confused with all of the labels claiming 'natural' or 'organic' yet still containing toxic ingredients that could put their health at risk. Their journey was born out of a desire to provide an authentic 100% natural and organic skincare that was sustainably produced with the health of you and their planet in mind. They believe that skincare should be a total wellness product that is made with the values you cherish and delivers the results you demand for your skin. Since none of us had a background in cosmetics, they worked tirelessly for over two years researching ingredients from all over the world, working diligently with the top experts in natural & organic laboratories and searching for a manufacturing plant that could meet their stringent production standards. Not surprisingly, that search took us to France, the mecca of quality skincare, and a little town named Cahors. In this beautiful setting, they meticulously select nutrient-dense flower extracts, high quality essential fatty acids, and therapeutic grade essential oils to deliver optimum results and addictive aromatherapy benefits. They choose quality and effectiveness over price when it comes to the best of nature's bounty, such as Argan Oil, an anti-aging ingredient created solely by Mother Nature. They combine the most effective ingredients from around the world in formulations uniquely designed to work with your skin's natural physiology in supporting hydration, cell regeneration, and collagen production that keeps your skin looking bright and beautiful. They put every ounce of their heart and soul into L'uvalla because they believe that your daily skincare regimen shouldn't be a chore – it should be an addictive experience that leaves you feeling beautiful – mind, body and soul! L'uvalla blends the nourishing, effective benefits of holistic skin treatment with the luxury and quality of French skincare in perfect harmony. The effects of their uncompromising quality and high levels of 100% natural and organic active ingredients are remarkably powerful. Your skin tone, texture, suppleness and appearance will be refreshed and restored to optimal health, creating a radiant glow that others will notice.

Luv All is the very core of their name, their company, their mission and their beauty products.

This week's special maftir Torah reading highlights the co-dependency between God and humans — a relationship that is particularly relevant as Passover approaches.
This week we read a special maftir Torah reading from Exodus to prepare us for the month of Nissan, the month of Passover. This special portion begins with a verse that sets the calendar for the Israelites: "This month shall be for you the first of months; it shall be the first month for you of the months of the year" (Exodus 12:2). In their interpretation of this verse, the rabbis of old focused on the repeated use of the words "for you."
They understood this to mean that although God commands us to observe the holiday of Passover, the fixing of the calendar and the designation of the precise dates of that observance is up to human beings. So our celebration of Passover is a partnership between God and humanity. God provides the impetus, and human beings provide the follow-through to make it happen.
This type of partnership between God and humanity is a hallmark of the Passover story, the transformation of the Israelites from slaves to free people. When the Israelites are suffering in Egypt, they cry out to God for help; only then does the Torah record that God hears their cry and takes action to alleviate their pain (Exodus 2:25).
But what does God do? Does God use supernatural powers to make their chains disappear in an instant? No. Instead, just as the Israelites have called out to God, God in turn calls out to an Israelite, to Moses (Exodus 3:4). God asks Moses to become the divine partner in freeing the Israelites from bondage.
The partnership between Moses and God is not always an easy one. Moses becomes impatient when he sees the slow pace of change in Egypt. God becomes impatient when Moses asks again and again for proof that the plan God has outlined will really work. But neither abandons the other. They continue to work together through Pharaoh's resistance and through the imposition of the plagues, until Pharaoh is nearly ready to release the Israelites.
At this key moment, also narrated in the special maftir Torah reading for this week, God once again turns to the Israelites and requires action of them. Each family is asked to take a lamb, slaughter it, and place some of its blood on the doorposts of the house (Exodus 12:3-7). The blood on the doorposts is a sign for God to "pass over" the houses of the Israelites when the last of the plagues falls on the Egyptians. The Israelites do their part, God does God's part, and the Israelites depart from Egypt a free people.
Why is the partnership between God and humanity so important to the Passover story? Why does God fix the observance of Passover but leave the creation of the calendar in human hands? Why does God seek out a human partner to do the work of liberation? And why does God require a symbolic marking of each Israelite home before the Israelites march to freedom?
In narrating this central episode in the history of the Israelites, the moment that transforms them into the Jewish people, the Torah is teaching us what is required in order to turn the divine vision of freedom into a reality on earth. It is not enough for God to proclaim this vision.
And it is not enough for people to work to free themselves. True transformation only takes place when God and humanity partner with each other, channeling divine power through human hands and minds.

Show Detailed Description
Recent data show that Rosiglitazone treatment can reduce proteinuria in diabetic patients. However, currently there are no trials that examine the effects of Rosiglitazone on kidney disease progression, that is, doubling of serum creatinine or time to onset of end-stage renal disease, in patients with diabetic nephropathy.
We decided to study retrospectively the possible association between rosiglitazone use and clinical course of diabetic nephropathy, including rate of deterioration of renal function, appearance and progression of microalbuminuria/proteinuria, survival and acceptance to renal replacement therapy.

Under Linux, a device is considered to be any object (physical or virtual) that is attached to a bus (also either physical or virtual). The Linux kernel accesses devices that are represented in the '/dev/' filesystem structure and their specification is usually a filename within that directory (for example a CD-ROM drive might be '/dev/hdc', a camera might be '/dev/video0', and a soundcard might be '/dev/dsp').
An ALSA device is more specifically a physical or virtual object for which ALSA provides device drivers to access and control its functionality. With ALSA providing the interface to the sound hardware, it is no longer necessary for users (and application programmers) to worry about the kernel devices as presented in the '/dev/' filesystem; ALSA presents the user with its own set of devices which are more standardized, flexible, and sophisticated than the kernel audio devices.

QUAY RATED THE 27TH BEST RESTAURANT IN THE WORLDFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 27 April 2009
Last night in London, Quay was voted in at Number 27 on the coveted S Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants list, as well as being named Best Restaurant in Australasia. The restaurant first broke onto the list in 2009, joining such hallowed establishments as Noma, El Bulli, Fat Duck and The French Laundry, with a ranking of 46th. This year, it jumped 19 places to score in the top 30 restaurants in the world and to become one of only two Australian restaurants on the list (along with Tetsuya's) and the highest ranked Australian restaurant in the world.
Quay's amazing performance on the S Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants tops an incredible twelve months for the restaurant. Last September, Quay rewrote restaurant award history in Australia by scoring a "double double" win, having been named Restaurant of The Year for the second consecutive year in the industry's two top awards, the Australian Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Awards 2010 and The Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2010.
The S Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants list is compiled by the World's 50 Best Academy, a group of prominent food writers, critics, publishers and commentators, who each represent a different global region and chair a carefully selected voting panel for that region. A total of 4,030 votes were cast by over 800 restaurant experts around the world in order to assemble the list.
Peter Gilmore, Executive Chef at Quay for the last nine years and the quiet genius behind its stellar rise through the ranks, said of the win: "We are absolutely thrilled. To be honest, we are still getting used to the news. I just can't wait to get back to Australia to celebrate with the team." John Fink, General Manager of the Fink Group who own Quay and Otto restaurants, added: "This is great for Quay, but it's also great for the restaurant industry. Sydney has some of the best restaurants in the world, and now hopefully, the world will pay us a visit to enjoy them."

NEW Opposition Leader Steven Marshall has quickly distanced himself from expectations a Liberal government would slash public-sector jobs in South Australia.
After being elected unopposed at a meeting of Liberal MPs on Monday, Mr Marshall insisted it was the state Labor government that had a plan to cut 6000 jobs, not the opposition.
Final decisions would rest on the results of an audit of all government departments to be conducted if the Liberals win the 2014 election.
But he said that will focus on government waste.
"There is no plan in the Liberal Party to take the axe to the public service," Mr Marshall told reporters.
"The problem with South Australia is the government, not the public sector, and we will not be waging a war against them."
Mr Marshall's comments are in stark contrast to those of former leader Isobel Redmond, who got into hot water last year when she suggested up to 25,000 jobs could go under a Liberal government.
She retracted those remarks soon after, saying it was not opposition policy, but raised further questions recently when she said jobs should go in the education department.
Mr Marshall will wait until Friday to unveil his frontbench team, though he says new deputy Vickie Chapman, former leader Martin Hamilton-Smith and current treasury spokesman Iain Evans will have key roles.
"The state Liberals will provide a fresh approach and my team is energised, focused and very excited about the next 13 months," he said.
"The shadow cabinet will be innovative, merit-based and if I was Premier (Jay) Weatherill, I would be worried."
Ms Chapman, who defeated Mr Evans by 10 votes to eight in the ballot for the deputy, has not indicated what job she wants and has assured Mr Marshall that she will not challenge for the leadership.
"All of us want to work closely with Steven. All of us have made a commitment to do that," she said.
"He has my absolute assurance that I will do as he asks in the team, in whatever role he thinks that I can best serve in the parliament and with the public."
Mr Marshall's first test as leader will come when state parliament resumes on Tuesday.

McDonald's Taking Time to Regroup & Rebrand
NEW YORK – McDonald's Corp. plans to use the next 18 months to rebrand itself as a destination for appealing food, not just low-priced food, according to a Bloomberg Businessweek report. It also plans to add more fruit and vegetable items and begin cooking with sustainable beef in 2016.
Company officials stated during this week's earnings call that it will take six quarters to regroup after sales continued to decline during the most recent quarter. However, the rebranding won't involve a new logo or design, but rather fundamentals such as improved value, service, marketing and menu.
McDonald's wants to be a "more trusted and respected brand," CEO Don Thompson told investors during the earnings call. Issues such as service problems, dietary concerns, lack of major successful product launches and employee compensation have caused consumer sentiment about the fast-food giant to drop.
The company has transformed one of its West Coast locations into a "learning lab" to help develop a dining experience that "customers will feel good about," said Thompson. This restaurant will collect customer feedback on food, environment and other aspects of their visits.
Core products such as French fries, the Big Mac and the Egg McMuffin, which generate approximately 40 percent of sales, will be at the center of McDonald's food efforts, but menu additions will likely be focused around premium beef and chicken items, breakfast items, coffee and blended frozen beverages.
The future of McDonald's will also involve a simpler menu, remodeled restaurants and amenities such as free Wi-Fi, along with new locations and an expanded digital presence, according to the report.

This summer Hall of Famer Roberto Alomar will be hosting Roberto Alomar & Friends Charity Home Run Challenges in Toronto, ON (May 8), Vancouver, BC (July 6), Moncton, NB (July 30) and Okotoks, AB (August 10) in support of JAYS CARE FOUNDATION, the charitable arm of the TORONTO BLUE JAYS. Participating teams and individuals will fundraise before the event to support Jays Care Foundation's programs and initiatives throughout Canada.
The funds raised will allow Jays Care Foundation to support the Blue Jays Baseball Academy Rookie League program in Toronto, the refurbishment of the "Teen Room" at the Boys and Girls Club of South Coast in Vancouver, the Salisbury & District Recreational Council's improvements to multiple baseball diamonds in Moncton and in Alberta the Town of High River enhancements of three baseball fields that will allow for 110 children and youth to play baseball this summer.
"I am very excited to help Jays Care Foundation grow this program in Canada," said Blue Jays Alumni Roberto Alomar, "I love the work that Jays Care does, and I'm happy to get out on the field and help people hit some home runs for a good cause."
Participants will receive their own personalized uniform, including a Blue Jays jersey and equipment to participate in alumni led hitting drills to prepare for their turn at bat. Joining Roberto Alomar will be Toronto Blue Jays alumni instructors JESSE BARFIELD, LLOYD MOSEBY and other Blue Jays alumni who will attend to provide pointers and cheer hitters on. Each participant will have 10 at bats to clear the fences and make their way through the hitting rounds.
"The Roberto Alomar & Friends Charity Home Run Challenge program has been overwhelmingly successful and we are thrilled to be partnering with Robbie Alomar - a true Blue Jays champion on and off the baseball diamond," said Danielle Bedasse, Executive Director of Jays Care Foundation. "The expansion of this popular program will not only help grow the game of baseball across Canada, but will assist Jays Care Foundation in leaving Blue Jays legacy programs from coast to coast."
2014 Roberto Alomar & Friends Charity Home Run Challenges are made possible through the generous donations of equipment courtesy of Rawlings and prizes courtesy of WestJet.

The Cadets ran with Northrop up and down the floor for four quarters and got defensive stops when it mattered in a 59-58 victory on Friday night.
It was Concordia Lutheran's fourth straight victory and while it did not lead to an SAC championship due to North Side's win over Bishop Dwenger, it did give the Cadets a shot of momentum heading into the final weeks of the regular season.
"We had a 50-50 chance of winning the SAC if we won," junior D.J. McCall said. "We didn't, but we feel really good winning this game with the atmosphere and all the fans here."
The game came down to the final seconds. After a pair of missed free throws by Concordia Lutheran, Northrop had 4.5 seconds left to go the length of the court. After a timeout, Bryson Scott took the inbounds pass and dribbled close to half court, where he passed the ball to brother Brenton in the corner. But the pass was tough to handle and as Brenton tried to gather in the pass and toss up a shot, the ball went out of bounds.
"We wanted to make sure both Scott boys when they caught (the pass) they were coming back to the basketball," Concordia coach Josh Eggold said. "We did not want either of them to get a clean catch and shoot because both those guys can shoot it anywhere on the court."
The Bruins scored just two points over the final 1:49 of the game.
Northrop had to work for every basket it got all night, with Concordia Lutheran quickly getting back into a zone defense after every possession. The Bruins (15-4, 5-2 SAC) had a tough time getting to the basket, particularly in the first half. Things loosened up after halftime a bit, but the outside shooting never got on track, with Northrop finishing 0-for-15 from 3-point range.
"We were comfortable with running the floor," McCall said. "We know that against Northrop if you run too much, you can get out of control and that helps them, so we had to be a little careful at times."
McCall finished with a double-double for the Cadets (15-3, 5-2 SAC), scoring 15 points and adding 11 rebounds. He also was huge late in the game when he stepped into the point guard role. Senior Ryan Gross picked up a technical foul in the third quarter and did not see the floor the rest of the game. McCall moved to the point and was exceptional in an unfamiliar spot, even more so with the game on the line in the final seconds.
"It was interesting in that we didn't have our normal personnel in," Eggold said about the final minute. "D.J. really stepped up as the 1 … that's extreme pressure and he did well."
Northrop was led by Bryson Scott's 25 points, which ties him for second all-time in scoring in Fort Wayne with James Hardy with 1,823 points.
DeShaun Thomas is No. 1 in the city and third in the state with 3,018 points. Damon Bailey is No. 1 with 3,134 points.
The Bruins' SAC championship drought continues, with the program still without a title since winning five straight from 1984-1988.Concordia 15 8 17 19-59
Northrop 13 8 21 16-58
