Dear Members,
Abhidhamma View : Requisites of Enlightenment(2)
[Presented by Dr.Tep Sastri @ SariputtaDhamma/JTN/Mult]
CMA VII, p.279-281:
There are four supreme efforts (sammappadahaanaa): 1. the effort to discard evil states that have arisen, 2. the
effort to prevent the arising of unarisen evil states, 3.the effort to develop unarisen wholesome states, 4. the
effort to augment arisen wholesome states. Here one mental factors, energy, performs four separate functions.
This fourfold effort is identical with right effort, the sixth factor of the Noble Eightfold Path.
There are four means to accomplishment (iddhipaada): the means to accomplishment consisting of 1. desire, 2.
energy, 3. consciousness, 4. investigation. The word idddhi here signifies all sublime and supramundane states to
be accomplished by applying effort to the practice of the Buddha's teaching. The principal methods of achieving
these are called the means of accomplishment. These are identical with the four predominants (1. predominance of
desire, 2. predominance of energy, 3. predominance of consciousness, 4. predominance of investigation). However,
while these states become predominant(adhipati) on any occasion when they are instrumental in accomplishing a
goal, they become iddhipaada only when they are applied to achieving the goal of the Buddha's teaching. The
expression iddhipaada extends to both mundane and supramundane states.
There are five faculties: the faculties of 1. faith, 2. energy, 3. mindfulness, 4. concentration, 5. wisdom.
There are five powers: the powers of 1. faith, 2. energy, 3. mindfulness, 4. concentration, 5. wisdom.
The faculties and powers comprise the same five factors, though different functions are attached to the two
categories. The faculties are factors which exercise control in their respective domains, while the powers are
these same factors considered as being unshakable by their opposites. Thus the five faculties exercise control in
the respective spheres of resolution(adhimokkha), exertion(paggaha), awareness(upa.t.thaana), non-distraction(avikkhepa), and discernment(dassana); in so doing they help to overcome their opposites --indecision, laziness, negligence, agitation, and delusion. The five powers are these same states considered as unwavering and as incapable of being overcome by their opposites.
In the development of the faculties, faith and wisdom are to be balanced to avoid the extremes of blind credulity
and intellectual cleverness; energy and concentration are to be balanced to avoid restless agitation and sluggish
immobility of mind. But strong mindfulness is always necessary, for mindfulness oversees the development of the
other faculties and ensures taht they are kept in balance.
Love Buddha's dhamma,

General purpose heat shrink tubing is ideal for bundling and protecting wire and cable. Made from modified radiation cross linked Polyolefin.
by jfriday
on 3/10/2012
this box of shrink tubing was a solid performer. I used this to heat shrink 28 pair of three(3) conductor wires. this was for a soundboard installation for a church. It performed well, each wire set of XLR balanced lines included two insulated conductors and one non-insulated conductor. the shrink tubing is rated at 2:1 shrink ratio I feel that it performed just a little better then 2:1 but not well enough to be 3:1 the matireral is more ridged after shrinking, and not as flexible as other shrink I have used and that could be a good thing depending on your needs.
If your looking for a solid performer at a great price, this is it.
21-10898 - 3/32" Boxed Heat Shrink Tubing - Black - 49'
21-10902 - 3/16" Boxed Heat Shrink Tubing - Black - 39'
21-10906 - 3/8" Boxed Heat Shrink Tubing - Black - 26'
21-10908 - 1/2" Boxed Heat Shrink Tubing - Black - 26'
21-10904 - 1/4" Boxed Heat Shrink Tubing - Black - 39'
I ordered batteries and a set of test leads. I received them within three days of when I ordered them and I got a great price. Fast service and a great price - what more could you want.

Cespedes could begin rehab stint Thursday
BOSTON -- Had the decision been left for him to make, Yoenis Cespedes would've already started his rehab assignment.
"Yeah," manager Bob Melvin said. "He would've flown out of here yesterday to try to get in a game last night."
Cespedes (left hand) will have to wait until at least Thursday to join Triple-A Sacramento, but even that puts him ahead of schedule, since he wasn't originally expected to begin his stint with the River Cats until Friday.
That means the 27-year-old could potentially play three games in Sacramento, rather than two, before coming off the disabled list when eligible Sunday. That is, "if everything goes well today, which I expect it to," Melvin said.
Cespedes took batting practice in Boston on Wednesday afternoon, as his teammates prepared to wrap up a three-game set with the Red Sox.

Topic: ASTRO - Boston - 2008
I am following Stacie in reporting about our presence at this conference.
ASTRO has created the Patient Causeway to better integrate patient advocacy organizations such as ours into the Annual Meeting. Patient support groups are an invaluable resource for cancer patients and their families as they help provide counseling and treatment information for those grappling with diagnoses of cancer. The goal of the Patient Causeway is to provide a forum for patent advocacy organizations to interact with members of the (in this case) radiation oncology treatment team to find areas of improved collaboration. We were fortunate to be a recipient of the generosity of the ASTRO Association and in particular, are grateful to Beth for making this happen for us.
Here we were: Our very own booth and handing out our very first brochures. I have to admit to having tears in my eyes, as did Stacie.
A physician from Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, Nashville, Tenn. stopped by our booth expressing his delight in having our Foundation present at this symposium. He was a presenter at the

If Jabari Parker makes it on the floor next week for the start of Milwaukee Bucks training camp, whatever the forward does can be seen as progress.
The second overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft is expected on the court when Bucks camp opens on Sept. 29 in Madison.
As always, the team is proceeding cautiously with the franchise cornerstone player returning from a left knee injury. It's unclear what Parker can do or how much contact he might face.
"We're not going to rush him back. This is a bigger picture," coach Jason Kidd said at a charity golf function on Tuesday in suburban Milwaukee.
By all accounts, Parker appears to be on schedule. Teammates have...

In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
This sandwich popped out on the lunchtime menu at Brucie in Cobble Hill. Fried scallops? Don't eat enough of those on a sandwich. The juicy, plump gems are fried to order in a beer and tempura batter. They arrive still hot, that beautiful fried-brown shade. The aroma takes you to a seaside shack for a second, but then you realize that a seaside shack probably wouldn't make their own pepperoncini or Greek-style yogurt.
The yogurt (can yogurt be used as a condiment more often, please?) is a cleaner, less globby departure from tartar sauce or mayo; the vinegar-soaked peppers cut the fried bites with a slightly bitter tang. Though Brucie bakes their own bread for some dinner plates, they stick to the fluffy, seed-topped rolls from the old-school Carroll Gardens bakery Caputo's down the street, which is the right call.

The Punk: Extreme Rules Review
by, 05-21-2013 at 12:45 PM (3307 Views)
The glitz and glamour of Wrestlmania is now but a faint memory. From here and going forward the WWE will begin to build it's summer programs which should see most culminate at this year's Summerslam. Before they can do that however, that they have a few loose ends to tie up and since 2010, Extreme Rules has been the perfect event in which to do this. Will The Shield complete their rise to power when they challenge for both United States and Tag Team gold? Will John Cena overcome the power of Ryback? Who will emerge victorious in the war between Triple H and Brock Lesnar? Will this year's Extreme Rules finally live up to it's name?
We are live-ish in St. Louis for the 5th instalment of Extreme Rules. Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler and JBL are our commentary team and start the show running down a number of the high profile matches for the evening.
Match One
Chris Jericho vs. Fandango
Love this feud or hate it, you can't really deny that Jericho and Fandango have great chemistry together. Their initial encounter at Wrestlemania was perhaps one of the best undercard matches of the night so it's a shame that this rematch didn't receive nearly as much attention as it should have. Much of the action looked awfully similar to their first match, not to say that's a bad thing but a little diversity can go a long way in preserving a feud. The inclusion of Summer Rae could have added a new dimension to this match but sadly she wasn't utilised once. Since his return last year, Jericho has helped many of the young talent reach new heights in the company by putting them over but this wasn't the case tonight. Fandango may have lost this return match, but this could actually do him more good than harm in the long run.
Winner: Chris Jericho via Pinfall (Codebreaker)
Match Rating: ***/5
Backstage: Interview with Sheamus who tells Josh Matthews that while Henry can pull two trucks, they don't hit back. Errrrm...okay.
Match Two - United States Championship
Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Dean Ambrose
Those unhappy with Kingston's latest reign as United States champion must have loved this match! In his first singles match on PPV, Shield ringleader Dean Ambrose continued to show the qualities that will eventually make him one of the company's biggest stars in this little gem of a match. A fast, back and forth encounter wasn't as one-sided as many believed it would with the former champion getting plenty of offence in against his highly regarded opponent. Both worked well together and while the match was short, and lacking in any "Extreme" stipulation, it did exactly what it intended to do and provided us with one of the night's strongest matches in the process.
Winner and NEW champion: Dean Ambrose via Pinfall (Modified Bulldog DDT)
Match Rating: ***.5/5
Match Three - Strap Match
Mark Henry vs. Sheamus
Strap matches are usually poor. Slow, restrictive and just generally boring. Those hoping Sheamus and Mark Henry would provide something lacking these negative traits were unfortunately always going to be left disappointed. More a tactical battle than a physical encounter we thought it would be, the two combatants attempted out out-manoeuvre the other for nearly 10 minutes before Sheamus picked up the win with a Brogue kick and a lunge towards the final turnbuckle. Hurting the overall score of the match, however, was the odd refereeing which totally disregarded the rules of a match that Cole, Lawler and JBL had spent most of the match explaining to the viewers. Unfortunately this wasn't to be the last of the weird refereeing either.
Winner: Sheamus
Match Rating: **/5
Backstage: AJ and Kaitlyn bicker before brawling around for a bit. Entertaining but could have been used for an actual Divas match? Just saying.
Match Four - Number One Contenders I Quit Match
Jack Swagger vs. Alberto Del Rio
If it wasn't for the concussion of World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler, this would have been my number one most anticipated match for the evening. The sudden change of stipulation and lack of title defence should have ruined this match but Del Rio and Swagger, whose rivalry seems to be getting better with time, put on a great showing in this hard hitting match. Extreme might be pushing it nowadays considering the only weapons we see are kendo sticks and the odd chair but the two utilised these weapons with great effect. The constant sound of referee Mike Chioda asking both men if they wanted to quit may have grated fast and yes, the use of the instant replay might have been a bit ridiculous but it was otherwise a decent effort from both men and a great save from the WWE who are able to prelong this rivalry until the return of the champion.
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
Match Rating: ***.5/5
Backstage: Josh Matthews interviews Ryback who calls Cena a liar. Promises change tonight when he takes the WWE title from Cena. About as good as you would expect promo-wise from the big man.
Match Five - Tag Team Championship
Team Hell No (c) vs. The Shield (Roman Reigns & Seth Rollins)
Having one member of The Shield win gold just wasn't enough. Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns joined their stablemate in capturing the tag team titles in this solid tornado tag match. Promoted as a chaotic brawl since it's announcement, these four men didn't disappoint as they went back and forth for just under 10 minutes. Again, like the Kingston/Ambrose match, a win was always on the cards for everyone's favourite new villains but Kane & Bryan were able to get just enough offense in to tease the upset victory. Rollins and Reigns ultimately captured the belts with one of the best moves of the night; a Road Warriors-esque double team move which flipped Bryan over the shoulders of Reigns. A great move and the perfect way to end the 245 day reign of the entertaining duo.
Winners and NEW champions: The Shield via Pinfall (Double Team Attack)
Match Rating: ***.5/5
Match Six - Extreme Rules Match
Big Show vs. Randy Orton
Those hoping for an Orton heel turn were never going to get their wish tonight as competing in his hometown, the 'Viper' received the loudest crowd pop of the night. This match was generally considered as one of the least anticipated of the evening but the two surprised by putting on a pretty entertaining match. It won't go down as the best Extreme Rules match ever, quite the opposite actually, but it did serve as a great way to tease a turn to the darkside for Orton who blasted Show with multiple kendo stick shots, a top rope elevated DDT, two RKOs with one onto a steel chair and then finally, a sorely missed punt to the skull to pick up the win. Quite possibly Orton's best match in a while and hopefully a sign that the heel turn we all want might be a little closer to actually happening.
Winner: Randy Orton via Pinfall (Punt)
Match Rating: ***/5
Match Seven - Last Man Standing Match for the WWE Championship
John Cena (c) vs. Ryback
Another match that was written off from the start that managed to surprise and entertain. Ryback and Cena beat each other to a pulp for nearly 20 minutes, culminating in a frustrating, yet memorable finish. Ryback has been panned recently for his green approach but his pairing with the champion may have resulted in one his best performances to date. Taking inspiration from previous last man standing matches including his own against Batista, Edge and even the Undertaker's battle with the "Animal" at Backlash 2007, the match was filled with plenty of decent spots ranging from ones seen plenty of times before to the more unique ones that preceded the finish. The finish itself, despite the referee's failure to make a count...ugh, was violent and amazingly convincing. The WWE needed a way to make both look strong and while it was a frustrating and to some, maybe even anti-climatic, it succeeded in being a violent match which will almost certainly result in a continuation of the feud between the two.
Official Decision: No Contest; John Cena is STILL champion
Match Rating: ****/5
Match Eight - Steel Cage Match
Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H
This is what a year of fighting came down to; a steel cage match between the COO and the 'Beast'. Dubbed the rubber match no-one wanted to see, Triple H and Lesnar managed for the best part to put on a satisfying conclusion to their war. Utilising the steel cage as a weapon in ways not seen in a long time, the two combatants threw each other against the walls with reckless abandon. It shouldn't have gone on last, it probably wasn't their best match and it was booked a little oddly (Seriously, Brock Lesnar, a former UFC champion selling a knee injury like that?), but it served as an appropriately "Extreme" way to close the show.
Winner: Brock Lesnar
Match Rating: ***.5/5
Overview: Not the best Extreme Rules event but by no means the worst. The show succeeded in cementing The Shield as major players in the WWE, wrapped up the Triple H/Lesnar rivalry, hinted further at an Orton heel turn, and proved that Ryback could actually have a future as a main event star given time. Extreme Rules has set the pieces for the various summer programmes and judging by the strength of these pieces, I firmly believe that 2013 has the potential to be a great year for the company.
Match of the Night: Cena/Ryback.
Move of the Night: Reigns and Rollins' new finishing move. As deadly as it is beautiful.
Lowlight of the Night: Strap matches really suck.
PPV Rating: ***/5

Ron Howard
Academy Award-winning filmmaker Ron Howard is one of this generation's most popular directors. From the critically acclaimed dramas A BEAUTIFUL MIND and APOLLO 13 to the hit comedies PARENTHOOD and SPLASH, he has created some of Hollywood's most memorable films. Howard directed and produced CINDERELLA MAN starring Oscar winner Russell Crowe, with whom he previously collaborated on A BEAUTIFUL MIND, for which Howard earned an Oscar for Best Director and which also won awards for Best Picture, Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress. The film garnered four Golden Globes as well, including the award for Best Motion Picture Drama. Additionally, Howard won Best Director of the Year from the Directors Guild of America. Howard and producer Brian Grazer received the first annual Awareness Award from the National Mental Health Awareness Campaign for their work on the film. Howard's skill as a director has long been recognized.
In 1995, he received his first Best Director of the Year award from the DGA for APOLLO 13. The true-life drama also garnered nine Academy Award nominations, winning Oscars for Best Film Editing and Best Sound. It also received Best Ensemble Cast and Best Supporting Actor awards from the Screen Actor's Guild. Many of Howard's past films have received nods from the Academy, including the popular hits BACKDRAFT, PARENTHOOD and COCOON, the last of which took home two Oscars.
Howard was honored by the Museum of Moving Images in December 2005, and by the American Cinema Editors in February 2006. Howard and his creative partner Brian Grazer, were honored by the Producers Guild of America with the Milestone Award in January 2009, NYU's Tisch School of Cinematic Arts with the Big Apple Award in November 2009 and by the Simon Wiesenthal Center with their Humanitarian Award in May 2010. In June 2010, Howard was honored by the Chicago Film Festival with their Gold Hugo - Career Achievement Award.
Howard is currently directing the Untitled Ron Howard Project staring Vince Vaughn and Kevin James and is in production on COWBOYS & ALIENS, directed by Jon Favreau and staring Daniel Craig. He is also in post production on RESTLESS, a coming of age story, directed by Gus Van Sant and staring Mia Wasikowska and Henry Hopper. Howard's latest film was his adaptation of Dan Brown's best-selling novel ANGELS & DEMONS, staring Oscar winner Tom Hanks. The film is a follow up to his internationally successful film THE DA VINCI CODE also starring Tom Hanks. Howard also produced and directed the film adaptation of Peter Morgan's critically acclaimed play FROST / NIXON. The film, which was released in December 2009, was nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Picture, and was also nominated for The Darryl F. Zanuck Producer of the Year Award in Theatrical Motion Pictures by the PGA. Howard's portfolio includes some of the most popular films of the past 20 years.
In 1991, Howard created the acclaimed drama BACKDRAFT, starring Robert De Niro, Kurt Russell and William Baldwin. He followed it with the historical epic FAR AND AWAY, starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Howard directed Mel Gibson, Rene Russo, Gary Sinise and Delroy Lindo in the 1996 suspense thriller RANSOM. Howard worked with Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Ed Harris, Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise and Kathleen Quinlan on APOLLO 13, which was re-released recently in the IMAX format. Howard's other films include the blockbuster DR. SEUSS' HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS starring Jim Carrey, PARENTHOOD starring Steve Martin, the fantasy epic WILLOW, NIGHT SHIFT, starring Henry Winkler, Michael Keaton and Shelley Long; and the suspenseful western, THE MISSING, staring Oscar winners Cate Blachett and Tommy Lee Jones. Howard has also served as an executive producer on a number of award-winning films and television shows, such as the HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon, Fox's Emmy Award winner for Best Comedy, Arrested Development, for which he also narrated, and NBC's Parenthood.
Howard made his directorial debut in 1978 with the comedy GRAND THEFT AUTO. He began his career in film as an actor. He first appeared in THE JOURNEY and THE MUSIC MAN, then as Opie on the long-running television series The Andy Griffith Show. Howard later starred in the popular series Happy Days and drew favorable reviews for his performances in AMERICAN GRAFFITI and THE SHOOTIST. Howard and long-time producing partner Brian Grazer first collaborated on the hit comedies NIGHT SHIFT and SPLASH. The pair co-founded Imagine Entertainment in 1986 to create independently produced feature films.

A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) listed surprising foods that make people sick.
Published in the March issue of the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, the report said that salad greens, such as lettuce, spinach and kale, account for most food-related illnesses, while most deaths were linked to poultry.
The report also pointed to raw milk. Read the report.
Most of the disease outbreaks linked to dairy involved raw, unpasteruized products.
"The weight of the raw milk outbreaks is making it look as if dairy is a bigger source of illness than we actually think it is," Patricia Griffin, a food-borne disease expert at the CDC, who was the senior author of the report, told USA Today.
Read, "CDC: Beware the leafy green, poultry and dairy."
This isn't the first time that the CDC has pointed to raw milk as the culprit behind disease outbreaks. Last year, the CDC found that raw milk and dairy products were 150 times more likely to cause a disease outbreak than pasteurized milk. Read more here.

Dear all owners,
Please welcome RandyWrinkles to the fold - he will be taking over iceman1's team (the Anderson Packers).
We currently have 16 owners signed up on sports.ws, but I know there are two more owners (diamonddave00 and BSparkman) who have submitted protected lists but have not yet signed up.
We will be losing Scott and Mourning, two veterans of our keeper leagues, and their teams will be dissolved into the regular draft pool. Depending on the status of diamonddave and BSparkman's returns, their teams may also be dissolved into the draft pool.
This is an awesome opportunity for the lower ranked teams to pick up some very, very good players through the draft and not have to wait for their rookies to develop. The draft will NOT be expanded nor will the draft order be altered, which means that every pick in the draft this year will be super important.
The only definitive thing I can tell you guys right now is that your 8-man protected lists are due on September 30, this coming Sunday. Please post in this thread with your finalised lists.
I will be back with more announcements once I finalise the status of our remaining two owners.
Thank you everyone for your patience during this summer. Let's make the IKL an even better league going forward.

The arrival of Carl Icahn to the board of directors, and his previous complaints about the direction of the company, precipitated the rating change. "Fitch believes that the uncertainties related to Blockbuster's strategic direction and fiscal policies brought on by the expected appointment of Carl Icahn and his two nominees to the board … negatively affects bondholders," according to the New York City-based ratings service.

The Big Ten Conference is intent on moving to a nine- or 10-game football schedule in response to its impending expansion to 14 schools.
Conference commissioner Jim Delany said Monday that staying with the current eight-game format is "not even on the table." Delany met with the conference's athletic directors at Big Ten headquarters near Chicago.
"We like to play each other, and those are not hollow words," Delany said, per CBSSports.com. "We are getting larger and want to bind the conference together."
The Big Ten will add Maryland from the ACC and Rutgers from the Big East in 2014. The conference will be split into seven-team divisions, which would likely mean six games inside the division and three or four outside the division in an expanded format.
Other scheduling tweaks appear to be on the way as well. Delany supports the idea of night games in November; ESPN.com noted that the last one played in the Big Ten was indoors, at the Metrodome in Minneapolis (Iowa-Minnesota) in 2008. Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith told ESPN.com that he is "open" to the idea, but added that weather history needs to be studied before a decision can be made.
Also, conference games may be played as early as Week 1 in early September in response to the expanded league schedule.
A final resolution on the number of league games is expected this spring, according to ESPN.com. The expanded schedule likely wouldn't be implemented until the 2016 season.
The Pac-12 switched to a nine-game conference schedule in 2006 when it still had 10 teams. The Big 12 Conference, which has 10 teams, also plays a nine-game slate.

How to raise happy toddlers
Welcome to the happy toddler zone that has everything parents need to know about this oh-so special age group. more
It's the most common cancer among Australian women, but more and more research is showing there are several ways you can reduce your chances of getting breast cancer – and you can start today.
In very simplistic terms, if you live to be 85, you have a one-in-nine chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer. And even though the average age of diagnosis is 60, about 25 percent of cases are in women aged under 50.
While being breast-cancer aware and checking your breasts regularly is important for early detection [see How getting to know your breasts can save your life], several lifestyle factors have been found to have a significant impact on a woman's risk of getting breast cancer in the future.
Even a few standard drinks a week have been linked with an increase risk of breast cancer. Recent US research found that low levels of alcohol consumption – three to six glasses of wine per week – were linked with a 15 percent increase of developing the disease. In the same research, women who drank two glasses or more a day were found to have a 51 percent higher risk than those who never drank alcohol.
Studies have found that women taking oral contraceptives have a slightly greater risk of breast cancer than women who have never used them. However, women who stopped using oral contraceptives more than 10 years ago do not appear to have any increased breast cancer risk.
On average, women who have had children have up to a 30 percent lower risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer than women who have had no children.
For women who have their first child at younger ages (that is, before 25 years) the breast-cancer risk is about 43 percent lower than for women who have their first child after the age of 29 years.
Women who breastfed in total for at least three years (across all their children) have about 10–20 percent less risk of getting breast cancer compared with women who did not breastfeed. For a total breastfeeding time of more than four years the reduction in risk is about 30 percent.
Research has shown that regular moderate exercise can significantly reduce your breast-cancer risk. The only question is how much exercise is needed. One study found that as little as one hour and 15 minutes to 2½ hours of brisk walking per week reduced the risk by 18 percent. Walking 10 hours a week reduced the risk a little more.
There are several factors you can't change when it comes to your risk of getting breast cancer. But knowing these can help you be more vigilant in checking your breasts regularly for any changes.
It seems every day there's another report about something else causing breast cancer. Many of these are unsubstantiated – here are a few:
The Federal Government's Cancer Australia website has an online calculator women can use to find out their risk of getting breast cancer.

BRADFORD coach Dave George admits his prayers were answered as hosts Fairford missed a winning conversion to hand the visitors another precious four points in their title bid.
With Bradford down to the bare bones after being hit by a raft of withdrawals and missing players, George was forced to pull on his boots during the opening five minutes when Cam Dewar, just back from a hamstring strain, pulled up as the problem flared again.
Then, with the away side seemingly on course for a comfortable triumph leading 13-0 in the final quarter, George was sent off after a fracas, prompting a ferocious Fairford revival.
The visitors scored two tries in the final stages, the first converted and the second in the dying moments, giving them a shot at goal for the victory.
But the kick hit the post as Bradford stayed in touch with Minety at the top of the table.
George said: "I was away from the action at the other end of the pitch, but I was praying (that Fairford would miss).
"I don't think the lads would have forgiven me (if they had lost). There was a bit of a fracas and I was sent off.''
Earlier, Bradford had enjoyed the better of the first half, creating chances, but only had two Dan Bright penalties to show for their efforts.
Dan Tozer then crossed for a try which Bright converted with 15 minutes to go, which seemed to have wrapped up the points for them, until Fairford's late flurry.

Nebraska's congressional delegation today wrote to U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack Wednesday urging him to correct the Farm Service Agency's method for calculating livestock disaster payments in light of devastating tornadoes in mid-June in Pilger and surrounding areas.
Producers who lost livestock during the June tornadoes discovered USDA is using outdated data when calculating reimbursement, resulting in reduced payments of up to $330 per head, Johanns said.
The letter urges FSA to use current market values, which more accurately reflects the intent of the 2014 farm bill.
The Agricultural Act of 2014 states that "payments to an eligible producer on a farm… shall be made at a rate of 75 percent of the market value of the applicable livestock on the day before the date of death of the livestock."
The average fair market value of the livestock is computed using nationwide prices for the previous calendar year, unless some other price is approved by the deputy USDA administrator, according to the law, Johanns said.
"It is clearly unfair to producers who expect relief based on the plain language of the law to then find out that the relief received will be significantly less than 75 percent of the market value of their livestock," Johanns said. "For example, according to the LIP fact sheet published by FSA in April, the payment rate for feeder steers weighing 800 pounds or more is $1,149, but data from the Agriculture Marketing Service indicate that 75 percent of the average value of an 800-900 pound steer was approximately $1,278 the week before the tornadoes hit Pilger, a difference of $129 per head."
"Moreover, producers also experienced losses for cattle that were at their finished weight of approximately 1,400 pounds. Using the data from the Agriculture Marketing Service, 75 percent of the average value for a finished steer was $1,479, for a difference of $330 per head," the letter says.

Sweet Fair Trade Treats at Sam's Club
Sam's Club Bakery Embraces Fair Trade
We often get asked where to buy Fair Trade products. Well, you'll certainly find the most Fair Trade products while shopping at a natural food store like your local coop or Whole Foods Market. They'll have literally hundreds of Fair Trade products for you to buy.
But what about a more 'conventional' supermarket?
Well it turns out that one of your best bets is Sam's Club: Their dedicated team of buyers are always on the lookout for new Fair Trade products they can offer Sam's Club members.
In fact, in the last few months they've launched three new Fair Trade products: Daily Chef Dried Montmorency Tart Cherries, Artisan Fresh Banana Nut Bread, and Artisan Fresh Bakery Angel Food Cake all made with Fair Trade Certified sugar benefiting sugar farmers in Belize and Paraguay.
David Walker – a buyer on Sam's Club's bakery team – has been leading the charge in bakery: "I feel really fortunate to be in a position in which – with the support of our Members we can make a meaningful difference in the world. It's a change I believe in."
This approach at Sam's Club extends to coffee, flowers, and sometimes even bell peppers and bananas.
Large companies like Sam's Club have an important role to play in Fair Trade: They make Fair Trade easier to find for more consumers, and they help build entire new supply-chains for developing world farmers' products meaning that even more companies – whether big or small – can start to offer new Fair Trade products.
So if you're a Sam's Club member, keep an eye out for the Fair Trade label – you just might find it's easier to spot than you think.

Vandeveer votes against measure
T.W. Budig
ECM Capitol reporter
The Republican Senate on Monday passed its game and fish bill, one including proposed hunting and fishing license fee increases.
But the fee increase provision was markedly changed on the Senate floor.
Senate Minority Leader Tom Bakk, DFL-Cook, successfully amended the provision to slot 50 cents from the proposed deer hunting license fee increase towards gray wolf damage compensation funding and 50 cents from all the proposed license fee increases to a school trust land compensation account.
Sen. Benjamin Kruse, R-Brooklyn Park, argued the school trust land provision would rightly compensate the state's school children for the use of their trust lands over the last 150 years by Minnesota outdoors people.
"This is a great, great investment," said Kruse, who has been active in school trust land reform legislation.
Senators in separate votes amended the license fee increase provision to include the gray wolf and school trust lands compensation provisions.
The entire license fee increase provision — which was voted down last week — passed on 43 to 22 vote.
Under it, resident fishing licenses would increase from $17 to $22; resident small game licenses increase from $12.50 to $15.50; resident deer hunting licenses increase from $26 to $30.
Other license fee increases are included.
The Bakk amendment means the amount of license fee increase revenue slated towards the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) fiscally ailing game and fish fund would be reduced.
But Senate Environment and Natural Resources Committee Chairman Bill Ingebrigtsen, R-Alexandria, said he believes outdoors men and women would understand.
House Republican natural resource committee chairmen look to work out the details of the proposed hunting and fishing license fee increases in conference committee with the Senate — the House Republican proposal is different than the Senate's.
Another amendment, offered by Sen. David Hann, R-Eden Prairie, sought to delay the gray wolf hunting and trapping seasons for five years.
As currently proposed, seasons would take place this fall — the DNR estimates the Minnesota wolf population at about 3,000 animals.
Some senators argued that this is too many. And that wolves, becoming more and more used to the presence of humans, are losing their natural fear.
Bakk spoke of parents in northern Minnesota being afraid to leave their children alone to wait for school buses out of fear of wolves.
"The species (wolves) is losing its fear of humans," Bakk argued.
Losing this fear would be a genetic detriment to the species, he argued.
Sen. Paul Gazelka, R-Brainerd, argued that the DNR gray wolf population estimate is that — an estimate.
There could be 4,000 wolves, not 3,000, he said.
Gazelka spoke of his mother, who lives in northern Minnesota, reporting she was shadowed by a wolf as she walked to the mailbox.
"I think that's perhaps stalking," Gazelka said of the reported behavior.
Other senators saw things differently.
Sen. Terri Bonoff, DFL-Minnetonka, said that to voters in her district the proposed wolf hunting and trapping seasons are issues of concern.
Locally, it's coyotes, Bonoff argued, that present a problem. And wolves may help to decrease coyote numbers, she argued.
Beyond this, there certainly isn't a growing wolf population, Bonoff explained.
The DNR has described the state's wolf population as stable for years.
Another supporter of Hann's amendment, Sen. Chris Eaton, DFL-Brooklyn Center, argued the number of confirmed wolf livestock kills last year, some 88, was not excessive.
Additionally, some 203 wolves were killed last year in Minnesota, she pointed out.
But Hann's amendment failed on a 26 to 40 vote.
Gazelka successfully amended onto the game and fish bill his so-called "Freedom to Hunt and Fish Act of 2012" which requires the continuation of the electronic sales of hunting and fishing licenses during state government shutdowns.
Bakk attempted to amend the bill to move the fishing opener date up, but he withdrew the amendment after a number of senators stood to oppose it.
"Don't take the luster out of it," argued Sen. Julianne Ortman, R-Chanhassen, of events planned to coincide with the regular fishing opener.
Bakk withdrew his amendment.
The game and fish bill passed the Republican Senate on a 36 to 30 vote.
Area lawmakers voting in favor of the hunting and fishing license fee increase provision were: Bonoff, Chamberlain, Gazelka, Higgins, Jungbauer, Kelash, Kruse, Latz, Metzen, Michel, Nienow, Olson, Rest, Robling, Sieben, and Wolf.
Voting against: Benson, Brown, Daley, Eaton, Gerlach, Goodwin, Hall, Hann, Koch, Lillie, Limmer, Ortman, Thompson, and Vandeveer.
