Alright this is part two of my dillema from the last topic i posted about distance over potential.
The problem I run into with the wraith is i believe since its faster, its more nose angle sensitive, and slows down faster than it should. Sometimes when I think i had a good rip it still seems to slow faster than it should.
My question do some discs althought faster slow down at a quicker rate, is it just a matter of glide, or a matter of technique or power?

DETROIT — With so much at stake in Detroit, the Giants saw no need Friday to fret over Doppler radar images, stiff winds or temperatures in the 40s.
As long as there's a Game 3 in the forecast, their outlook remained sunny.
"It's the World Series," Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong said. "You can't be worried about how cold it is."
The series shifts to chilly, drizzly Detroit on Saturday after the Giants captured the first two games at AT&T Park. That was no small feat. The team that has taken a 2-0 lead in the World Series has gone on to win 41 of 52 times (78.8 percent).
The last team to overcome an 0-2 deficit in the Fall Classic was the 1996 New York Yankees.
While the Giants are happy to have a lead, especially after needing to roar back from the dead in the first two playoff series, they had no plans to let up. They are on a roll, having won a franchise record five consecutive postseason games over the St. Louis Cardinals and Tigers by a combined score of 30-4.
But if the Giants needed a reminder about premature celebrations, their workout Friday took place 10 years to the day after San Francisco's epic Game 6 collapse in the 2002 World Series against the Angels.
"(2-0) is just a number," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "That's all it is."
The Tigers, meanwhile, hope a change of venue will mean a change of fortune. They were outplayed badly in San Francisco. In Game 1, Justin Verlander was roughed up in an 8-3 loss. In Game 2, the Tigers' vaunted big bats were shut down in a 2-0 defeat — the 113th shutout in World Series history and only the fourth all season for Detroit.
Tigers manager Jim Leyland, not one for panic, spoke evenly Friday.
"I can simplify this one pretty easy," he said. "The way I look at it, we're two games back with five to play. And we're playing the team we need to catch."
For the Tigers to turn the series around, they will need more from their struggling middle of the order. Sluggers Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder combined for 74 home runs and 247 RBIs during the regular season.
In the postseason, they have two homers in 85 at-bats.
"We need to start over," Tigers Game 3 starter Anibal Sanchez said. "We need to forget what happened in San Francisco. I know we've got the talent. That's why we're here. We've got a pretty good team, so we have to fight to the end."
The Tigers were 50-31 at Comerica Park during the regular season and are 4-0 there during the postseason. This time they will have a noted Giants-killer on the mound with Sanchez, who is 3-1 with a 1.98 ERA against them in 361/3 career innings.
The Giants counter with Vogelsong, who will try to continue a dazzling run by the rotation. Over the past five games, Giants starters have allowed two earned runs in 33 innings — an 0.55 ERA.
"We're all kind of hitting our stride here at the same time," Vogelsong said. "It's up to me and Matt (Cain) to keep it going over here in Detroit."
Vogelsong's degree of difficulty will include doing it in what might be described as football weather. But the right-hander pointed back to his start at Wrigley Field on May 14 of last season, when he dealt with rain, sleet and temperatures in the 30s — and was credited with his first major league shutout.
"I threw the ball pretty well that night," he said. "I don't suspect that the cold weather is going to be much of an issue. If I'm thinking about how cold it is, it means I'm not thinking of what I'm doing on the mound."

Damn, Murph is shootng lights out. I always find the Pacers more fun to watch without JO. They are not a better team, just more fun to watch.
I think I see what could be the problem w/ ispy. I'll see if I can fix it right now.
Meanwhile, that FSN commercial with Tinsley is fantastic. He just stares off behind the camera the whole time with absolutely no expression on his face aside from wondering when he's supposed to flip the damn card.
Meanwhile, Murph and Dun are wetting treys right now. Let's blow this thing open.
iSpy is working.
LMAO @ Denari "That's what happens when you get two awful ball handlers leading the break"
LMAO @ Tinsley "AND ONNEEE!!!!"
Have always loved that photo. Never knew who this guy was til now though.
That is pure comedy right there
Why is Kevin Lee calling the game?
The best exercise of the human heart is reaching down and picking someone else up.
Tinsley is probably thinking about the club scene during that commercial!!!
And yes indeed Murph and Dun Dun are stroking the 3... more Murph then anything
Wow......Murphy is making me forget about Harringtons 3pt shooting....
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
OK guys shooting three's is fun and all but it's better to shoot the ball where the court turns BLUE
For all of you watching the game.....I mentioned it before...but can you keep any eye on how the ball movement is going throughtout the course of the game?
I'm really curious to see when its happening...and with who.

A PLAN to refurbish Malton's Milton Rooms has been supported by Ryedale district councillors.
The council's policy and resources committee is recommending that the authority backs the development of the historic building – Ryedale's largest community hall – and to donate £25,000 towards drawing up a plan.
Chief executive Janet Waggott said the committee had welcomed the improved financial management of the Milton Rooms and "adoption of a robust short-term business plan".
In supporting the principle of the upgrade, it was accepted that Ryedale District Council was "almost certain" to have to make a financial contribution and annual contribution to the running costs, said Mrs Waggott.
The news was welcomed by Stephen Shaw, chairman of the Milton Rooms' management committee, who said: "It has great potential to be a major economic driver not only for Malton, but for much of Ryedale."
The £25,000 would go towards creating a design plan for the £3.5m to £5m redevelopment. The proposals have received support from The Princes' Trust and Heritage Lottery Fund.
"The Milton Rooms are already recognised as a significant artistic venue, with seating of 300 and for a standing event, 400 people," said Mr Shaw.
The management committee also has aspirations for the adjoining Assembly Rooms, said Mr Shaw. "We have reached a point where we have turned the corner financially. The Milton Rooms has no paid employees, just a team of volunteers, and operates its own box office arrangements."
Tribute bands, food fairs, auctions and exhibitions are held regularly, said Mr Shaw, and bookings were picking up. "It is looking very encouraging," he said. "Although the complete restoration work could take up to 10 years to achieve, the whole project is looking imaginative and exciting. We have found that when events are held at the Milton Rooms the footfall in Malton increases and we get good positive feedback from town businesses."
There is also an appeal for volunteers – write to Mr Shaw at The Milton Rooms, Market Place, Malton, North Yorkshire, YO17 7LX or email themiltonrooms firstname.lastname@example.com

As of 9:00 Thursday morning, about 4.7 million customers were without power as a result of Hurricane Sandy. While New York and New Jersey accounted for over 70 percent of the outages, 10 other states were reporting significant outages (more than 1,000), according to a situation report released today by the U.S. Department of Energy.
In the Northeast, natural gas power burn generally fell over the past few days, possibly as a result of reduced demand for electricity, according to data from BENTEK Energy LLC (Bentek). Estimates for natural gas consumed for power generation were 3.9 billion cubic feet (Bcf) today, compared to 4.4 Bcf on Monday. Any declines in natural gas-fired generation because of electric power demand destruction may be somewhat mitigated by power producers substituting natural gas for lost nuclear capacity resulting from the storm. According to the situation report, three nuclear reactors remained offline as of this morning, and two units that had been operating at reduced capacity had been restored to close to full capacity.
Residential and commercial consumption in the Northeast increased significantly during the past couple of days, surpassing 11 billion cubic feet (Bcf). Increases were especially pronounced in areas in the Appalachian mountains, where blizzards and high levels of snow resulted from Hurricane Sandy.
In general, natural gas prices rose slightly at most markets, although some Northeast locations posted larger increases and most prices at trading points in the Rocky Mountains and Pacific Northwest decreased on the week. The Henry Hub spot price rose from $3.43 per MMBtu last Wednesday to $3.50 per MMBtu yesterday after falling to $3.38 on October 26. At the Algonquin Citygate, which serves consumers in Boston, prices rose 28 cents per MMBtu to end the week at $4.18 per MMBtu. Some of the price increases in the Northeast may have been related to storm damage; Texas Eastern Transmission reported compressor problems as a result of Hurricane Sandy, according to trade press reports.
The Chicago Citygate trading point in the Midwest saw an increase for the week ending yesterday of 32 cents per MMBtu, reaching $3.96 per MMBtu. This followed Chicago Citygate's 20-cent per MMBtu price increase from the previous reporting period, and was similar to increases seen across all Midwestern trading points.
By contrast, average prices at the Sumas trading point in the Pacific Northwest fell by 35 cents per MMBtu, reversing the previous Wednesday-to-Wednesday period's 36-cent gain. Price declines in the Colorado and Wyoming area were slightly less pronounced than Sumas; the spot price at the Opal trading hub, for example, fell 4 cents per MMBtu to end the week at $3.50 per MMBtu.
The NYMEX futures price declined about 8 cents per MMBtu on the reporting week. The NYMEX December futures price fell from $3.776 per MMBtu last Wednesday to $3.692 per MMBtu yesterday. On Monday, the November contract expired at $3.471 per MMBtu, about 7 cents per MMBtu higher than the Henry Hub spot price. The 12-month strip (average of December 2012 to November 2013 contracts) fell slightly, starting at $3.861 per MMBtu last Wednesday and landing at $3.851 per MMBtu yesterday.
Total demand increased this report week, led by higher residential/commercial consumption. According to estimates from Bentek, average natural gas consumption for the nation rose this report week by 5.5 Bcf per day (9.1 percent) over the last week's daily average. The rise resulted principally from a 5.7 Bcf per day (34.8 percent) week-on-week increase in average residential/commercial consumption. Average residential/commercial consumption began the week on Thursday, October 25 at 16.4 Bcf per day, jumping to 20.6 Bcf per day on Friday, October 26. It rose steadily to 24.3 Bcf per day on Tuesday, October 30, and ended the week yesterday at 23.1 Bcf per day.
By contrast, average daily power sector consumption fell this week in all regions of the country except for the Midwest and Southwest, where consumption rose (16.9 percent and 2.6 percent, respectively). Double-digit percentage declines in natural gas power burn occurred in the Pacific Northwest (10.4 percent), Texas (14.8 percent), and Midcontinent (10.1 percent).
Bentek estimates that average natural gas supply for this report week rose by 1.1 Bcf per day (1.5 percent) over last week. This resulted from a 0.7 Bcf per day (1.1 percent) increase in dry production, and a 0.3 Bcf per day (6.5 percent) increase in imports from Canada.
Working natural gas in storage increased to 3,908 Bcf as of Friday, October 26, according to EIA's WNGSR, the highest recorded volume since EIA began keeping records. This represents an implied net injection of 65 Bcf from the previous week. This week's injection was 8 Bcf above the 5-year (2007-2011) average injection of 57 Bcf, and 17 Bcf below last year's injection of 82 Bcf. Inventories are currently 136 Bcf (3.6 percent) greater than last year at this time and 259 Bcf (7.1 percent) greater than the 5-year average.
All three storage regions posted increases this week, with the Producing and West Regions posting record high natural gas storage volumes. Inventories in the East, West, and Producing regions increased by 34 Bcf (the 5-year average net injection is 29 Bcf), 8 Bcf (the 5-year average net injection is 6 Bcf), and 23 Bcf (the 5-year average net injection is 22 Bcf), respectively. In the Producing region, working natural gas inventories increased 14 Bcf (4.9 percent) in salt cavern facilities and increased 10 Bcf (1.0 percent) in nonsalt cavern facilities.
Temperatures during the storage report week were 4.4 degrees warmer than the 30-year normal temperature and 3.9 degrees warmer than the same period last year. Temperatures in the lower 48 States averaged 58.7 degrees, compared to 54.9 last year and the 30-year normal of 54.3 degrees. While overall temperatures were a few degrees warmer than normal, temperatures varied somewhat across Census divisions. In the Midwest, the East North Central Census division was particularly warm, averaging 7.0 degrees warmer than the 30-year normal. In the West, the Pacific Census division was relatively cool, averaging 1.7 degree cooler than the 30-year normal. Heating degree-days nationwide were 32.5 percent below normal and 27.3 percent below last year.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- As it turns out, Wells Fargo ( WFC), the Main Street competitor to Wall Street-oriented titans like JPMorgan Chase ( JPM), had a great trading year. It's just not for the reasons you might think. A recent report suggests Wells Fargo secretly engages in the type of Wall Street trading activities in esoteric and risky products normally dominated by the likes of JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs ( GS) and Bank of America ( BAC). The truth is Wells Fargo's trading skill is far more pedestrian and profitable than one might think: buying back its own stock. The nation's top mortgage lender may simply be effectively plying the very trading rules that its largest investor - Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK.A) - has long advocated. After disclosing a 48 million share buyback in fourth quarter earnings, Wells Fargo ended 2012 having repurchased roughly 120 million shares at an average price of $32.35. As the San Francisco-based lender petitions the Federal Reserve to increase its dividend payout above current levels, Wells Fargo investors are likely appreciative of the bank's near $4 billion in total 2012 stock buybacks, which came, on average, roughly 8% below current stock trading levels. Still, investors might want to see more by way of buybacks. Overall, Wells Fargo's share count didn't budge much in 2012 and buybacks basically offset share issuance for stock compensation. "
Over the long term we like to do better than what we did this year," said CFO Tim Sloan. Wells Fargo shares less than 1% lower on Friday to $35.10 after record fourth quarter earnings came with strings attached. Using crude math and Wells Fargo's mean book value per share value of $26.56 reported through 2012, those buybacks came at an average price of roughly 121% of the firm's reported book value. Buffett, an over 13% shareholder in Wells Fargo, may have been taking notes. In December, the 'Oracle of Omaha' turned heads when Berkshire Hathaway authorized a $1.2 billion buyback at a price of 120% of book value, a higher premium than the 110% mark the financial conglomerate outlined as its threshold at the outset of 2012. Wells Fargo's Wall Street brethren, most notably JPMorgan, have shown less aptitude in the buyback trade, and actual trading losses have made authorizations less predictable. After a big 2011 buyback program, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon was left apologizing to shareholders for a double digit loss on some of those repurchases. Meanwhile, a trading loss that exceeded $6 billion in 2012 forced Dimon to retreat from a $15 billion authorization for the year. In the third quarter, JPMorgan reinstated a multi-billion dollar buyback plan

No animosity, Mark. We all know Ron's got to go, but that takes time. The last thing the Pacers front office needs is a journeyman writer telling them when they should pull the trigger. Artest is gone, what happens next is moot. Beating Donnie Walsh up over it is unnecessary. Donnie's lost his butt on Artest, and he's trying to come out of it all with something. Kravitz ought to go and seek out Donnie to find out his side of this situation and put that in print for his readers. That would be refreshing, and I would enjoy reading something like that - something that focuses on factual information. I don't think many folks are having a hard time getting on with "their lives" as he put it!Originally Posted by mboyle1313This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I think Kravitz could be a terrific writer. I really do.
(P.S. You have to agree my touch up on his headline was pretty good ... )

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Dangerous Side Effects of Adderall
My son is 18 and started taking Adderall at 17 and a 1/2 in April, 2009. He went off to college in the fall and then had to leave because he was experiencing horrible side effects, e.g., hearing voices, weight loss, paranoia, and thought problems. While taking Adderal he drank caffeine sodas which we did realize would intensify side effects.
After spending time in a hospital, he came home and we as a family had a horrible time trying to help him through the depression and self- loathing but we managed. Contrary to what the doctor who prescribed the Adderall, I truly believed that his symptoms were caused by Adderall, caffeine and some marijuana he used.
I helped him get better by letting him sleep, giving him loads of eggs, juices, veggies and things loaded with vitamin B 12 and omega threes. He is back at college for the spring semester and every week he comes home a little bit better. He feels better now but I still don't see him 100% but with the continuation of vitamins and a healthy diet with no caffiene, he is improving.
He says he would like to try the Adderall again but I refuse to pursue that. I was reading that B 12 can actually help with ADHD. My question is two parts. First, would you prescribe Adderall to a child who has experienced such symptoms? And secondly, does Adderall deplete the body of B 12 vitamin? Thank you, from a very concerned Mom who loves her son.
You ask an interesting question that I have been wondering about for some time: Do stimulant medication deplete the body of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals)? It is an established fact that some anti-epileptic drugs do, but I don't know of any studies to see if stimulants do.
Aside from possible direct depletion, they for sure suppress appetite. By suppressing appetite, they might impair the intake of vitamins. It is advisable for someone who is not eating a balanced diet to take an ordinary multi-vitamin/mineral capsule or tablet daily. This is better than taking a single vitamin, because they work together, and more than one vitamin has been found to be depleted by antiepileptic drugs.Also, in the winter, vitamin D becomes important because few foods naturally have vitamin D; as humans evolved, we got most of our vitamin D from sunshine changing cholesterol on the skin into vitamin D. Vitamin D, in addition to necessity for bone health, has recently been shown to be necessary for brain health and is suspected to be a cause of seasonal depression (winter blues).Regarding the hallucinations and paranoia, these are possible side effects of stimulant overdose and rarely can occur at normal doses. Stimulants can precipitate psychosis in people who have a tendency to psychosis.I agree with your caution about trying a stimulant again. There are other medicines that could help, and you should consult a psychiatrist about a medication or combination of meds that might help.

Kids read to dogs at library
VENETA, Ore. - The audience for story time at the Fern Ridge Library this week had better than average hearing.
Once a month, kids get the chance to read to 4-legged friends as part of the READ program: Reading Education Assistance Dog.
By listening intently, the therapy dogs give kids an experience they may not get otherwise.
"The dog can't criticize. That's huge," said Laura Duvall, a therapy dog handler. "The kids can just read to the dog and have a good time and not have to even think about it because the dog is not going to correct them or point out the things they do wrong. It's all just a positive experience."
The READ program started in Utah back in 1999 and is now a worldwide program. The dogs visit the library in Veneta the last Wedneday of every month.

People talk about whether things exist or not as if they really know what it means to exist or not. They talk as if the only ambiguity involved is in understanding the thing whose existence is in question and seem to put little or no effort into questioning what it means to exist. Given that the Buddha defined The World and The All differently than what most people think of them, I think that it would be good to discuss what it means to exist or not.
I have nothing to start the discussion with as for me the term "to exist" defies definition.....I don't have much hope for this topic.

Thinly sliced leek with Crottin de Chavignol
Cut the leeks into fine slices, rinse in cold water, cook for ten minutes in boiling water adding 60 grams of butter, plus salt and pepper. Slice the cheeses, horizontally, and place flour on the two faces.
In a frying pan heat one soupspoon of olive oil and a touch of butter. Fry the crottins for two minutes on each side. Add a little pepper. Grill the four slices of country bread, place on a plate.
Place the warmed cheese on the toast. Artistically arrange the leeks around the toast. Sprinkle the leeks with chopped parsley; this will add flavor.
This is an interesting dish where texture plays a major roll in giving the palate pleasure. The soft mouthwatering crottin (slightly warmed) contrasted with the grilled bread; add the gentle flavor of leeks, and you have a winner.
Ingredients :
4 crottins de Chavignol
3 leeks (both the white and green part of the leek is needed).
90 grams of butter
4 slices of country bread
1 sprig of parsley
1 soupspoon of olive oil
Salt and pepper
Mennetou Salon or Sancerre
Crottin 2 pcs.

Madson increases intensity during bullpen session
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Ryan Madson threw a 30-pitch bullpen session on Monday, ramping up the intensity to an estimated 70-80 percent. It was his fourth since getting shut down for more than a month on Feb. 1 and it brought Madson "the soreness I've been waiting for."
"I think I'm feeling what I should've been feeling from the start -- the good stretch, the good pain, not the shutdown stuff," said Madson, the Tommy John product who was shut down for more than a month because of elbow soreness, then felt some less-threatening tightness after a March 14 session.
"It just feels like I actually got in there and broke some of that stuff up. But it also feels like I can throw again today. That's what I feel now."
The 32-year-old right-hander, who will open the season on the disabled list, will travel with the Angels to Southern California for their exhibition Freeway Series against the Dodgers, but isn't sure if he'll go with them on their season-opening road trip through Cincinnati and Texas.
Madson is expected to play catch again on Tuesday and could throw his next bullpen session soon after. There's still no date set for him to get in some games, but Madson hardly ever throws more than 30 pitches in the bullpen when fully healthy. At this point, it's all about ramping up the intensity and bouncing back healthy.
Madson is still throwing only fastballs off a mound, but has occasionally thrown his changeup on flat ground to maintain a feel for his specialty pitch.
"For some reason, it's just always been there," Madson said. "I've been blessed with that."

Reviewed by 1 customer
This review is from Protect and Store View Binders 23000:
I love having a big pocket in the inside of my binder. I teach for the Princeton Review, and most classes take place at local colleges. I have to carry my own whiteboard markers around with me, so I keep them in the front pocket. They're always with me and I never have to think about it.
However, after about a month of use, the elastic loop on the flap broke (elastic separated from the metal "anchor"). I've tried using the pocket anyway, but without a loop to keep the flap closed, it just doesn't work. The loop and button are structurally the weak point of the design, so I would have expected the loop to be reinforced a bit more.

Responding to complaints about skimpy portions in school meals, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has relaxed its weekly maximum limits on grains and meats served in school lunches.
A Dec. 7 memo from the USDA's Food and Nutrition Service to school nutrition officials asks them to disregard weekly maximums on those items because it is difficult to comply. Those limits were set by nutrition guidelines that started with the new school year.
Nutrition advocates favor the decision, saying it's a modest change that could prevent Congress intervention.
A YouTube video of students mocking changes to school lunches received more than 1 million views, and some lawmakers criticized USDA calorie limits.
USDA's flexibility on the issue lets schools serve larger portions of bread and meat, to help implement school nutrition standards this school year, according to the memo. The agency it would monitor the situation to see if more changes are necessary.
New USDA nutrition standards identify the healthy ranges for five categories of food, including fruits, vegetables, grains, meats or meat alternatives, in addition to defining the healthy ranges for total calories, saturated and trans fat and sodium. School districts that comply with the new standards are eligible for reimbursement for school meals and a 6 cents per lunch increase in federal funds, which began on Oct. 1.
The USDA is helping school districts adjust to the new rules, School Nutrition Association president Sandra Ford, National Harbor, Md., said in a statement.
"School nutrition professionals have faced significant menu planning, operating, financial challenges and more as a result of the new meal pattern requirements," she said.
"By easing weekly maximums for grains and proteins but maintaining calorie limits, USDA protects the nutritional integrity of the new standards while giving school meal programs more time to design healthy menus that meet both the new standards and students' tastes."
Tracy Fox, president of Food, Nutrition & Policy Consultants LLC, Washington, D.C., said the change shows the agency has been listening to concerns about grain and protein limits. "They did a good thing by offering schools a little more flexibility," she said.
USDA has not announced whether these new flexible standards for grain and protein requirements will continue into the 2013-14 school year.
Fox said nutrition advocates are still waiting for the USDA to release proposed rule on competitive foods in schools.

ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. - A St. John's County man is headed south Sunday to participate in Florida's Python Challenge, a competition to see which hunters can bag the largest and the most Burmese Python snakes.
The competition begins Saturday in Davie, FL. A recruitment video, produced by Florida Fish and Wildlife, tells the story of how the snakes are destroying the Everglades.
In the video, it says, "the Burmese Python is an evasive species threatening the Everglades ecosystem. These snakes are capable of reaching lengths of more than 17 feet."
The Burmese Pythons were brought here as pets, but many grew too big and their owners released them into the wild. Now, with no natural predators, the snakes are taking over.
Dave Fenner of St. John's County is one of 640 hunters who registered for the competition looking to win the 1,500 for the person who captures the most snakes.
Fenner has been capturing and releasing snakes since he was a children, and while he has never killed a snake before, he has a plan.
You really want to get them by the tail and you have to euthanize them with either a machete or a gun. It all depends if they are trying to get away, grab them by the tail then decapitate them. Or if they are sitting there then go ahead and decapitate them that way. It can be dangerous," said Fenner.
Fenner knows the risks involved with trapping the snakes that can reach over 200 pounds, but he is not really worried.
"There are risks involved. There are venomous snakes. I know the risks involved. I've done this my whole life," Fenner said.

Over half million dogs, snatched off the streets and illegally killed in the Philippines, end up in the country's restaurants which flout the law to satisfy the growing taste for dog meat.
According to The Daily Express, customers dine on dog's head, considered a delicacy, for the equivalent of 2.50 pounds, while a dish of dog liver costs about 1.80 pounds.
Restaurants also serve dog meat snacks known as "pulutan".
The grisly trade flourishes in the north where there is a long tradition of eating dog meat despite warnings from the authorities about the dangers to health and the introduction of jail terms for dog meat traders.
Meanwhile, Britain-based non-profit organization 'Network For Animals' is lobbying the Philippines government to enforce its anti-dog meat legislation.
It is also intercepting dog snatchers, who transport the animals to slaughterhouses in appalling conditions, and is campaigning to change public opinion about the practice.
"These restaurants sell dog meat only and generally by lunchtime they are packed. Particularly popular is pulutan, a dog meat bar snack. Another very popular dish is deep fried dog paws, known as 'spare parts'. I went into the kitchen and there on a stainless steel platter was a pile of dog meat and on top of it the boiled head of a dog," Simon Powell of Network For Animals said.
"It was bizarre and surreal to see what we regard as man's best friend and a pet regarded as legitimate food," he added.
The 'Kennel Club' has also announced that it will join the campaign against "the horrific dog meat trade".
"While the Kennel Club recognises that in certain cultures the consumption of dog meat may be deemed to be traditional or associated with particular health benefits, we do not believe that these arguments can justify animal cruelty," the club's communications director Caroline Kisko said.

|Head Coach
|Alma Mater:
|Kent State
Veronique Drouin-Luttrell was named Oklahoma's head women's golf coach on June 24, 2009, and in just six years has converted the Sooners into a perennial national power.
After taking over a program that finished in 10th place or worse in half of its events in 2008-09, Drouin-Luttrell has guided OU to top-five showings in 35 of 67 tournaments (52 percent) during her tenure, including in 32 of 54 events (59 percent) from the 2010-11 through 2014-15 seasons. OU has won nine tournaments under her direction; eight combined the last four campaigns.
The top 15 54-hole scores in school history have come under her watch, and she has presided over the 15 lowest rounds in OU annals. Additionally, Drouin-Luttrell has watched her golfers claim six All-America honors and nine individual tournament titles.
The 2012, 2013 and 2014 OU squads finished sixth, ninth and fourth, respectively, at the NCAA Championships. Prior to that stretch, the Sooners had posted one top-10 national finish in school history (sixth place in 2002). The 2014 showing was the program's highest ever.
In 2012, Chirapat Jao-Javanil, one of Drouin-Luttrell's initial OU recruits, became the program's first individual NCAA champion. She won the national title by four shots (-6) in a field of 126 competitors in Franklin, Tenn.
Drouin-Luttrell's squads won the 2012 and 2014 Big 12 Championships. The 2014 team shattered the previous Big 12 Championship scoring record by 11 strokes, and Jao-Javanil claimed the individual crown. Thanks to OU's remarkable success the last four seasons, Drouin-Luttrell was named Big 12 Coach of the Year in 2012 and 2014 and Women's Golf Coaches Association Central Region Coach of the Year in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
During Drouin-Luttrell's first full season at Georgia in 2006, the Bulldogs won two prestigious events -- the Golf Daytona Beach Fall Preview and the SEC Championship. Drouin-Luttrell also served as interim head coach during the 2007 Central Regional and NCAA Championships, leading the Bulldogs to second- and eighth-place finishes, respectively.
Before her time at Georgia, Drouin-Luttrell was a graduate assistant at Kent State for two-and-a-half years. She also enjoyed a standout playing career with the Golden Flashes as the 2000 Mid-American Conference (MAC) Freshman of the Year, the 2003 MAC Golfer of the Year and a three-time first-team All-MAC performer.
As a senior, Drouin-Luttrell helped lead Kent State to a second-place finish at the 2003 Central Regional and a 19th place showing at the NCAA Championships. Two years earlier, she helped lead the Golden Flashes to a 15th-place finish at the 2001 NCAAs, the program's best effort ever.
Drouin-Luttrell continued to compete as an amateur, and she finished 2006 at No. 8 in Canada's national rankings.
Drouin-Luttrell was runner-up at the 2006 Royale Cup Canadian Women's Amateur Championship after tying for medalist honors and falling in a playoff.
Her additional amateur highlights include: advancing to the quarterfinals of the 2005 British Ladies' Amateur; representing Canada at the 2003 Commonwealth Games and the 2003 and 2005 Spirit International Amateur Golf Championship; winning the 2001 and 2003 Quebec Amateur Championship; finishing eighth at the 2004 Royale Cup Canadian Women's Amateur; and finishing fifth in stroke play qualifying at the 2004 British Ladies' Am.
A native of Saints-Anges, Quebec, Drouin-Luttrell received her bachelor's degree in business administration from Kent State in the spring of 2003 and her master's in sports management from Kent State in 2007. She married her husband, Evan, in March 2012.

Major League Lacrosse today announced that Charlotte Hounds attackman Matt Danowski has been named "Offensive Player of the Week" for Week 9 of the 2012 season, following a six (6) point performance in Saturday's 13-12 win over the Chesapeake Bayhawks at American Legion Memorial Stadium. Danowski scored four goals, including the game-winning 2-pointer, and added an assist to help the Hounds get their second straight victory.
Danowski scored three straight goals in the game's final two and half minutes to bring the Hounds back from a 12-9 deficit and defeat the top-seeded Bayhawks 13-12. Shortly after Danowski pulled the Hounds within one with 1:25 left to play, the Bayhawks' Kyle Dixon was called for a holding penalty that would put the Hounds man-up for the remainder of the game. Danowski took advantage and, with 22 seconds left, rather than go for the tie he ripped a point-blank, 2-point goal to win the game 13-12 for the Hounds.
After the game, Danowski said of the play that resulted in his game-winning goal, "A short stick was coming at me, I recognized that, and a pole switched out so I figured I'm gonna go back to some old school, shoot it overhand, try to get a bounce shot…luckily it went in." With the win, the Hounds have put together their first win streak in franchise history. Danowski said, "We've gotten better. Our lineup seems like it's set now, and we're just coming together and we're playing better lacrosse. There's no secret to it, we're just playing unselfish ball and trying to get better every week."
This is Danowski's fifth year playing MLL, and his fourth Offensive Player of the Week honor. He spent the previous three seasons with the Long Island Lizards before being traded to the Charlotte expansion franchise in January. He currently has a team-high 34 points, which also ranks him second in the league. Danowski's four goals on Saturday are a season-high for the attackman.
The Hounds (3-6) look to keep momentum rolling as they kick off a four-game road trip with a rematch against the Denver Outlaws (6-3) at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on July 14. The teams first met Week1 of the season, and the Outlaws prevailed 21-12.

Spring Beauty Essentials From Gina Brooke
5 Spring Beauty Essentials (And What To Toss)
5 Spring Beauty Essentials (And What To Toss)
Editor's note: The following post is written by our new guest writer, celebrity makeup artist Gina Brooke.
Beauty products have a shelf life, so begin by taking stock of your makeup and eliminate anything that was purchased more than two years ago (especially foundations with SPF). Next inspect your mascara wands, and toss away any older than three months. Finally, have a good hard look at your makeup brushes. If they have not been washed regularly, they are most likely bacteria receptacles. Out they go, too. Now that's done, here are five game-changing products that will enhance the way you look and feel.

Offers more control over placement of boat
Stainless steel stabilizing arm
The unique offshore box anchor holds your boat at a 45° angle from the bottom, digging in the downward facing flukes without snagging them on debris. Easy to handle, this anchor gives you more control over the placement of your boat, regardless of water conditions. Toss the anchor overboard, and it will set within one foot of its landing. To retrieve, pull the line to bring the boat over the anchor. The lack of upward facing surface area allows the anchor to pop off the bottom. Stainless steel stabilizing arm folds compactly into the included ventilated storage bag.

Pastor Linda Harris, 66, died Wednesday, Jan. 5, at Baylor All Saints Hospital in Fort Worth following a lengthy illness.
Born May 10, 1944, Harris worked for Kay Day Real Estate before becoming a minister. She was a nonbeliever and a motorcycle-riding "tough woman" who worked as a union rep at Frontier Airlines, friends said this week. But when her daughter was diagnosed with a terminal kidney disease, her life changed.
Friends said Harris sent her daughter to church alone several times before finally going with her. During the service that day, the preacher told those in the congregation to write down 10 things they wanted; Harris wrote that she wanted a healing for her daughter.
Shortly afterward, Harris' daughter began to get well, and Harris herself had what friends say was an intense, personal experience that led to her conversion to Christianity. "God spoke to her and healed her daughter," friends said.
That's when Harris began her ministry, concentrating on reaching out to share God's love with those who were most often forced to the fringes and left out by mainstream society.
Friends said Harris began by ministering to the homeless in Houston. She later co-founded Grace Fellowship in Christ Jesus, an LGBT church that held its early meetings in Oak Lawn but later moved to facilities on Westmoreland in Oak Cliff.
Harris also founded and was longtime pastor for Sanctuary of Love Church where, church members said, she created "a ministry for those no one else accepted, where love was unconditional. Because of that, people who wouldn't be accepted anywhere else could go to Linda and feel love, and then they knew how to give love to other people."
Harris also played a role in founding or helping develop other LGBT-affirming congregations in the area, and once spent six months ministering as an evangelist in South Africa as part of the Joan Wakeford Ministries.
Her final ministry was with Rainbow Ministries International, which she founded after leaving Sanctuary of Love. That church is now led by her successor, Pastor Alex Voss, and meets each Saturday at noon in the back building at 3917 Hall St. Voss said this week that the church has also developed a Web page, RainbowChurchTV.com, where videos of several of Harris' sermons are now available.
Friends said this week that Dallas' annual gay Pride parade was always one of Harris' greatest pleasures, and that every year she built a float for the parade she won a trophy. They described her as an "extremely loving and caring and totally genuine person" who was known and loved by people from all over the world.
Her sister, Kay Day, said this week that whenever anyone asked Harris how she was feeling, she always responded, "I am blessed and highly favored." Day also said that two days before she died, a man came to visit Harris and told her that he had been homeless, but because the pastor allowed him to sleep in her church, he was able to turn his life around. As the man left, Day said, Harris told him, "If you need me, just call me."
Day said her sister "helped so many people who had AIDS and were disowned by their parents. She stayed with them, and she conducted their funerals."
Harris is survived by her partner, Janice LaCount; her daughter and son-in-law, Monica Harris and Kevin Coble; her granddaughter, Sara Grace Coble; her sisters and brothers-in-law, Betty and Jon Barnett and Kay Day and James Peebles, all of Fort Worth; and by her dog, Blossom.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, Jan. 8, at 11:30 a.m. at Greenwood Chapel, 3100 White Settlement Road (at University Drive) in Fort Worth. A viewing will be held Friday, Jan. 7, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Greenwood Chapel.
The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations in Harris' name be made to Janice LaCount Ministries, 3917 Hamilton Ave., Fort Worth, Texas 76107. Personal remembrances can be shared on Pastor Harris' Facebook page.
John Foster Barry, 44, of Dallas died suddenly on Friday, Dec. 30.
Barry earned a B.S. in psychology from the University of Texas at Austin and an M.S. in clinical psychology from the University of North Texas, and was a licensed professional counselor. He worked for many years as a psychotherapist at Oaklawn Community Services before joining a private practice, Turtle Creek Mental Health.
He was active in a number of local organizations, and was well known in the psychotherapy community. He was also known by his friends and family for his wit, kindness and warmth, as well as his fondness for movies, music and theater.
Barry was preceded in death by his parents, Captain George and Britt Barry of Arlington.
He is survived by his sisters, Linda Bennett and husband, Rob, and Carolyn Lytle and husband, Dave; three nephews, one niece, many loving friends and by the clients whose lives he touched as their therapist.
A memorial service was held Wednesday, Jan. 5, at Arlington Funeral Home Chapel. Donations in his name may be made to the Point Foundation or Love Out Loud Scholarship Funds.
William Bloom, 70, died unexpectedly on Dec. 18 in Lewistown, Penn., while visiting relatives before a planned move to Panama in January.
He was born in Lewistown and raised in Bradenton, Fla., and had been a Dallas resident for 33 years.
After graduating from Florida State, Bloom entered Union Seminary in Charlottesville, Va., and was chosen to spend a year at Presbyterian Seminary in Montpielier, France.
He became the chaplain of Presbyterian students at Vanderbilt University and then became chaplain of Presbyterian students at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
After three years, Bloom went to work for the education wing of the World Council of Churches in Geneva, Switzerland, and traveled all over the world giving seminars on literacy programs. Three years later, he began working for the United Nations and was assigned to the French Committee for Refugees in Paris where he worked with refugees from the wars in Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia.
He returned to the World Council of Churches and was assigned to Madrid for several years.
In 1977, Bloom returned to Dallas and worked at The Bronx on Cedar Springs until he and a partner started Frontroom Gallery in 1981. In 1999, he began working part-time at Nuvo until he started full retirement in 2007.
Bloom was an accomplished weaver, photographer and writer.
He is survived by his brother and sister-in-law, Joe and Marie Bloom of Etowah, N.C.; cousins Linda Smalley of Atlanta, Ga., and Frances Ware of Mechanicsberg, Penn.; and many friends.
There will be a reception for his friends at The Bronx, 3835 Cedar Springs Road, on Wednesday, Jan. 12 at 5:30 p.m.
Anthony W. "Tony" DeCock, 46, died peacefully at home on Dec. 20. A memorial and remembrance service will be held at the home at a future date.
Born in Conroe, Texas, DeCock graduated Conroe High School in 1982. He then joined the U.S. Army and was stationed in Germany. In the Army, he began training and started a rewarding and successful career in computer engineering, eventually working for Texas Instruments, Microsoft Corporation and, most recently, Paladin and Northrup Grumman.
DeCock had a passion for family, friends and the latest computer and software technology and the home he shared with his husband was filled with laughter, late-night dinner parties and many electronic gadgets.
DeCock was preceded in death by his parents, Harry Hypoliet DeCock and Peggy Darlene Hilton DeCock.
He is survived by his husband, Richard Lindley; their dear friend and neighbor, Helen P. Fielden, and their dog, Jack Everett. He is also survived by a brother and two half brothers from the Houston area.
In lieu of flowers, donations in DeCock's honor should be made to Resource Center Dallas' AIDS programs or the SPCA of Texas.

'Gillard knew nothing'3:23
The PM's former lover says she "knew absolutely, categorically nothing" about the union fraud scandal. Courtesy: Weekend Today
Environment Minister Tony Burke said the fact Julia Gillard's ex-boyfriend has spoken out in her defence regarding union fraud means the door has slammed shut on the story.
A statement by Julia Gillard's ex-boyfriend that she knew "absolutely nothing" about fraud within the Australian Workers' Union (AWU) in the mid-1990s means the story should now be over, Mr Burke said.
Mr Burke argues it's time for the opposition to stop "beating up" the story concerning the prime minister's involvement in setting up a slush fund for union officials, including former boyfriend Bruce Wilson, 17 years ago.
"From what I've looked at in today's papers, it's story over," Mr Burke told ABC TV.
"The big allegation of connection that the opposition hasn't been quite willing to make ... it appears the door has slammed pretty firmly shut on that."
Mr Wilson has told the Sunday Telegraph that Ms Gillard knew "knew absolutely, categorically nothing" about any wrongdoing.
"They can go on a witch-hunt for as long as they like and they will find nothing that will do her any harm," the former AWU boss said.
"It's just a waste of time. They will find nothing."
Mr Burke said Opposition Leader Tony Abbott should now stop "beating up a story" and instead talk about policy.
He said there was no actual allegation for Ms Gillard to take on.
"When all of that's the case I don't think it's a bad thing for a government to be getting on with policy work."
But Deputy Opposition Leader Julie Bishop wants the prime minister to give "a full explanation" to parliament this week.
She says Mr Wilson should confess to police.
Ms Bishop today said Mr Wilson's defence of Ms Gillard didn't coincide with the recollections of many others.
"And it's certainly not supported by the documents that we have seen," she told Sky News.
"So I would urge Mr Wilson to go to the police and give a full and frank assessment, description, confession of what went on about this fraud 17 years ago."
Ms Gillard has consistently denied any wrongdoing or personal benefit from her involvement in setting up the AWU fund when she was a lawyer for Slater & Gordon in the 1990s.
Foreign Minister Bob Carr said he didn't know Mr Wilson so couldn't comment on the credibility of his defence of Ms Gillard.
"But as we in the Labor party see it this is a conspiracy theory fastened on by the opposition," he told Sky News.
Senator Carr said Ms Gillard was a "tough lady" who would give as good as she got.
But he said whether she gave a statement to parliament was a question of "whether you dignify this conspiracy theory with any such attention".
"I'd think twice about that," he said.
"(But) I trust her judgment. In the time I've worked with her in cabinet I've been very impressed by her finely-tuned sense of judgment and timing."

A Daher-Socata TBM700 crashed this morning on a New Jersey highway soon after takeoff from Teterboro Airport (TEB), killing all five on board and closing the roadway for hours.
According to the FAA, the turboprop single was headed to Atlanta's Dekalb-Peachtree Airport on an IFR flight plan when it disappeared from radar after a garbled radio transmission.
Witnesses at the scene say the aircraft made a spiral dive, shed a wing and crashed into the wooded median of I-287 in Morris County, approximately 30 miles southwest of TEB. The airplane exploded on impact, leaving a debris field at least two miles wide, according to the New Jersey State Police.
The TBM, N731CA, was registered to Cool Stream in New York City. It belonged to Jeffrey Buckalew, "an experienced pilot," according to a statement from New York-based investment bank Greenhill & Co., where he was managing director.
Buckalew, his wife and two children and Rakesh Chawla, another managing director, are believed to have been aboard at the time of the accident, according to the statement.

Mr Buckalew was a private pilot with an instrument rating. My personal minimums at that stage of experience would have been extremely challenged, with an even smaller and slower aircraft. Aviation is the ultimate equalizer. It makes no matter what big money deals you make or who you are. The janitor with practice could fly a TBM just as well, or not.
Autopilot shut off with full nose up trim, and the pilot was forced to take over, or simple spatial disorientation and entered an accelerating steep spiral causing the outboard wing to depart the aircraft. They didn't feel a thing.
I don't mind when people kill themselves, it just saddens me when others are along for the ride.

Just read aout this aviation accident. Very similar to a scenario that happened in Canada. The dad was a private instrument pilot and flew a 172 into instrument conditions with his CFO and 1 year old grandson. Grandson servived, pilot and CFO didn't. Now the kicker here is he owned and operated a piper meridian that his IFR son lost control of and crashed a little while later with 5 people on board at 21,000 feet. It is truly a pity that pilots go beyond there capabilities the majority of the time and cause harm to humans and property and themselves.

After listening to the ATC tapes it looks like ice was a major factor in the aircraft. Numerous pireps of "moderate to severe," and one "extreme." Deice boots are not capable nor are they certified to handle icing at this level.
I agree with the other posters that a private pilot with an instrument rating is probably over his head in a high performance complex aircraft such as the TBM-700, particularly in IMC and ice at 17,000'. He joins the league of fellow pilots who came to the same demise-Thurman Munson, John Kennedy Jr., Cory Lidle, and too many more.

Glad you fools got the investigation completed less than a day after the crash. I'll be sure to tell the FAA and NTSB they can go back home.

I'm generally not interested in baseball, but there's just something about these two teams that intrigues me.
Anyway, another classy example of New Yorkers tonight. A Yankee player purposefully knocks the ball out of a Sox player's glove while running to first base, which resulted in an error and a run scored for the Yankees to narrow the gap to 4-3, Sox lead. The officiating crew got the call right, determining that the runner was out due to interference. Yankee fans proceed to throw baseballs all over the field and chant "********." :

Works well! But it could be a little deeper for guns with taller scopes. So I gave it 4 stars. It is handy though so I think I'm going to buy another for the passenger side just for the stufff rolling around in my pickup.

Future Shock
Detroit Tigers Top 11 Prospects
Previous Rankings: 2011 | 2010 | 2009 | 2008
System In 20 Words Or Less: The best team in the American League Central by a wide margin, but that certainly doesn't apply to the farm.
Five-Star Prospects
1. Jacob Turner, RHP
Year in Review: The top prospect in the system reached the big leagues before his 21st birthday and looked like he belonged.
2. Nick Castellanos, 3B
Year in Review: Big bonus baby from 2010 started the season in an ugly slump but ended up among the Midwest League's top hitters.
3. Casey Crosby, LHP
Year in Review: Stayed healthy and impressed with his stuff, but not with his control.
4. Drew Smyly, LHP
Year in Review: Reached Double-A in his full-season debut and dominated at two levels.
5. Andrew Oliver, LHP
Year in Review: Reached the big leagues but made little progress as a prospect.
6. Brenny Paulino, RHP
Year in Review: Dominican right-hander was among the most impressive pitchers in the Gulf Coast League.
7. Bruce Rondon, RHP
Year in Review: Was often unhittable but rarely accurate.
8. Danry Vasquez, OF
Year in Review: After signing for a $1.2 million bonus in 2010, Vasquez impressed scouts during his pro debut.
9. Avisail Garcia, OF
Year in Review: Venezuelan outfielder continued to impress with his tools but not with his performance.
10. Rob Brantly, C
Year in Review: Outstanding first half at Low-A, but he struggled big time after moving up to the Florida State League.
11. Brian Flynn, LHP
Year in Review: Had an inconsistent spring, but he left scouts wondering how he fell to the seventh round during his pro debut.
The Sleeper: 20-year-old Venezuelan Eugenio Suarez has defensive flexibility, hitting chops, and surprising pop from a skinny frame.
Top 10 Talents 25 And Under (born 4/1/86 or later)
Putting Avila first might have shocked me more than anyone, but he's turned into an All-Star catcher and there's little fluky about what he did in 2011. Porcello is still going to get better, and when he's good five years from now and still just 27 years old, you'll be sorry you wrote him off. Austin Jackson is not as good as he was in 2010, but scouts don't think he was as bad as he was in 2011 either. In the end, that makes him a middle-of-the-road center fielder, and there are plenty of teams who would like to have that. Alburquerque may seem like a fluke, but he was sitting at 96 and touching 99 for much of the year, and it sure looked real. Schlereth could have value with more strikes, but faith in him ever putting it together is waning.
Summary: The Tigers have gone all in for the 2012 season, and they don't have much of a backup plan; after Turner, there is no other immediate help on the way.

Does Alburquerque's Zumaya-esque elbow injury factor into that 25+under rating at all? That seemed to have sapped his value this offseason.
Feb 24, 2012 04:39 AM
Just how bad was Daniel Fields last year to completely fall out of the top 20? Is there any hope left for him?

I'm curious to know who your guys will be this afternoon. There's not much in the system, but they have thrown a lot of money (relative to past years) in Latin American the past year or two that could start to show some fruit. There's also a ton of guys in the recent draft with interesting backgrounds that could portend some kind of latent abilities: Green, Smith, Collier, Robertson... Guys who were coming off of injuries or non-baseball issues before the draft that fell through the cracks. I'm curious how the system goes this year. They've overhauled a lot of the player development staff and have some intriguing young guys.
Feb 24, 2012 11:53 AM
Who is Alex Avila? Actually, I'm curious if you've had any discussions with scouts on what they missed with Avila and why you see his 2011 as not fluky.

I think daily off-season training with Miguel Cabrera has a lot to do with it. Some of that talent has got to rub off (cf. Brennan Boesch, who's also been working with Miggy, and is also no fluke), mentally if not physically. Having a father and a grandfather who were or are in the game surely helps too (again, mentally if not physically).
Feb 25, 2012 10:05 AM
Funny how time flys. My first reaction to the 25 and under was "where's Scherzer." I guess the answer is over the hill at 27.
Feb 24, 2012 15:19 PM
So, this always bugs me and I promise this is the last time I'll say it but: It should be "25 words or fewer" not "less".
Feb 25, 2012 18:57 PM
Edman made my major point about most of the team locked up and therefore the system won't need to produce much in the future.
