Despite earning double the amount of hits Simon Kenton did on Tuesday night, Collins could not find a way to plate its base runners.
The Titans outhit the Pioneers by a 12-6 count, but SK used its middle infielders to help strand seven Collins runners on base, and turn three double plays throughout the contest while Simon Kenton earned the 4-2 victory.
Collins' Tuesday night matchup with Simon Kenton may not have kicked off in the most exciting fashion, but it ended with fireworks at the plate.
Holding a 5-1 lead after five innings of action, the Titans rolled up four additional runs in the bottom of the sixth to help stave off the Pioneers and give Paige Oldham some breathing room on the mound.
Collins' starting pitcher made the most of her opportunity in the 8th Region semis, striking out nine batters and holding SK to just four hits as a team.
Heading into Monday's region tournament opening game against Owen County, Collins pitcher Paige Oldham had been preparing for this stage.
After last season's disappointing loss in the first round of the district, Oldham had put in the time and work during the offseason to prepare for this postseason.
The pitcher showed that the hard work and long hours had paid off on Memorial Day, tossing seven innings of no-hit ball, and leading her team past Owen and to the semi-finals of the 8th Region tournament.
It was clear from the outset of Monday's Memorial Day matchup that Carroll County was simply overmatched by Collins' baseball team.
Behind the arm of pitcher Cameron Mattingly, the Titans made quick work of the Panthers in just six innings of action, winning its 8th Region Tournament opener by a lopsided 10-0 final score.
Mattingly tossed all six innings, allowing just three hits to Carroll while striking out seven hitters in the victory.
In what seemed as a direct inverse of the baseball game taking place hundreds of feet away, it was the Collins softball team's late runs that secured the 30th District title after a rocky start on Friday night.
With Anderson leading 3-2 after three innings, Collins took advantage of a key mistake by the Bearcats that allowed the Titans to take over the game.
Through three innings of action, it seemed as if Collins baseball had the 30th District title wrapped up on Friday night.
Following a quick first inning by host Anderson County to take a 2-0 lead, the Titans had pieced together enough hitting and smart base running to take a 6-3 advantage through three innings.
But the Bearcats were far from done at the plate, tying the contest at 6-6 in the bottom of the sixth inning, and eventually taking the district championship on a two-run single to set the final score at 8-6.
While most college soccer players will be suiting up for their respective summer league teams, Shelbyville-native Walker Andriot has taken his talents to the west coast.
As a member of the Portland Timbers 23-and-under team in the Premier Development League, Andriot is getting his shot at playing with some of the best college athletes in the country.
In just its first year of competition, Heritage Elementary School's archery team has already accomplished an incredible feat – sending its archery team to the national level of competition on May 11 and now moving on to a worldwide meet held on July 21 in Orlando.
The school vied for the National Archery In Schools Program's national competition; finishing 165th out of 180 competing schools, which was good enough to advance to the global competition.
In a construction project that has been building nearly a year now, Cornerstone Christian Academy announced that Phase 1 of its plan to create a complex for the school's various athletic programs is finished.
The completed phase of the project was announced on May 19, with the grand opening of the facility taking place this morning, weather permitting.
The complex is located on the 31 acres of the school grounds, where both phases are to be completed.
Collins' Nathan Jacobs has been working hard all season to perfect his discus throws, and the results of his labor showed on Friday at the KHSAA AA State Track Meet.
Jacobs earned his first state title in the event with a final throw of 147-feet, 5-inches, edging out Johnson Central's Josh Ervin by just two inches for the title.

Sun and water are two of my favorite features of summer. But, without proper precautions, sun and water can become dangerous very quickly, especially when children are involved.
These tips will help keep your whole family safe and having fun all summer long!
Sun Safety
- Use sunscreen with at least 15 SPF and reapply often. Even if your little one isn't getting wet, it's still so important to reapply their sunscreen. A good rule of thumb is to reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating. Oh, and, same goes for you, Mom and Dad. You won't be any good to anyone if you're burnt to a crisp! (Check out these MintRx coupon codes to save 20% off your sunscreen purchase.)
- Cover Up. Stay in the shade whenever possible, and limit your sun exposure during the most intense hours of 10am and 4pm if at all possible. Opt for a "rash guard" type swimsuit for your little one with long sleeves. Hats and sunglasses are also a must to keep the sun's rays off of you as much as possible.
- Opt for an Umbrella if you're at the beach. An umbrella gives you the option of shade whenever you need it. Park baby's pack 'n play under the umbrella to protect her skin and keep her cool.
- Don't forget – Water and sand reflect UV rays and can actually result in sunburn more quickly.
When it comes to sun safety, your top priority should be keeping your baby out of the sun's rays. If that's not always possible, check out the products available from Burt's Bees Baby to find everything you'll need for baby this summer, and save money with these Burt's Bees Baby promo codes.
Water Safety
- Never Swim Alone – Even the best swimmers need to have someone with them when swimming. Also, never let children swim unattended. Close supervision by a trusted adult is the only way to ensure drowning isn't an option when children are in the water.
- Designate a "water watcher" when children are in the water. Someone who can stay off their phone and keep a constant watch on the children. No distractions. Drowning can happen in an instant, so it's imperative to have at least one designated adult watching over the children at all times – even if lifeguards are present.
- Use Life Jackets – Children should wear life jackets anytime they are on a boat, a pier, or near bodies of water that they could fall into. (Mom and Dad could also wear life jackets to set a good example and encourage your children to keep theirs on!)
- Avoid Fast Moving Water – Never, ever, ever allow children to swim in canals or fast moving water. Currents can grab them and pull them under faster than you can get to them.
With a little common sense, and a few safety rules, you can keep your entire family safe in the sun and around the water all summer long. I hope these summer safety tips help you out!

An Eco Lesson on How to Read Green Labels
There are many green labels out on the market today, understanding the meaning of the label should help the consumer determine whether the product is worth purchasing or not. I was reading an article in Good Housekeeping on How to Read Labels Right and I thought this might be a great way to get some feedback if other green shoppers agree on the following statements when purchasing their green products.

Feeling Broke – Why Buy Organic?
We are in times of economic crisis, where many of us become much more conscious of our shopping decisions. Many individuals who shop with green in mind are debating whether or not to spend the extra money to buy organic food or organic products for that matter. There are many reasons why organic purchases are a better choice and help to maintain a healthy lifestyle. This entertaining video provides a summary of organic food and farming benefits. Making organic purchases needs to be a collective of people who can drive the prices down. It is like any other product on the market, once there is enough demand the prices will fall and it will start to become the new norm. The next time you are making a purchase and wondering if you should spend the extra; try to see if you can make a compromise on reducing the quantity of one regular product to buy one that is organic. If you or any of your friends and family are skeptical of organics, send them a link to this video and you decide if it is a worth while cause. Read more »
Recycle and Compost
I thought I would try to reinforce the topic of recycling and composting your household trash. Last year the County requested that each household participate in a new green waste recycling system. Our County will no longer be able to take waste to our local landfill after December 2008, which means our residential waste will have to be transported to a facility further away, resulting in higher costs. So now, not only does it cost more in transportation, but increases the carbon footprint as well. The new recycling program that was implemented allows all households to recycle and compost. New rollout carts were provided, a black one for household garbage and a green one for compost. The County also supplied a small green covered pail for kitchen scraps that can be added regularly to the large green cart, as well as a large recycling bag for paper products.

Supercell's latest mobile game, Clash Royale, has already taken more than $80m in revenue, despite launching only at the beginning of March. It's estimated the game may go on to earn more than a billion in a year. The data comes from insights published by Newzoo.
The earnings, which apparently don't include the 30% commission Supercell pays Apple and Google, made Clash Royale the the top grossing mobile game in the world for the month, but the majority of its earnings came from the U.S. and China.
Supercell's Clash Royale gets most revenue from the U.S. and China
Newzoo breaks down these figures to show that for iOS, Clash Royale earned 33% of its revenue in North America, and 31% in China, with Europe in third position with 23%. The game is a top ten title in most countries, and number one in the U.S., Germany, Canada, and Brazil.
Clash of Clans has consistently been a billion dollar earner for Supercell, yet spending in Clash Royale doesn't seem to have affected the popular title. Newzoo says the game saw only a slight, single-figure decline during Clash Royale's massive opening month.

Summer Sabbath: From June 19 – August 14 we will once again observe a Sabbath of rest. We will gather on Sunday for one worship service at 10:00 (Nursery and Children's Church will be available). We will not meet on Sunday evenings or Wednesday evenings and all committee meetings are cancelled. We pray that this will enable you to spend more time with your family and in rest, remembering all that God has done for you.
Worship is an integral part of our life at Houghton Wesleyan Church! Each time we come together as God's people is a celebration, and we emphasize making worship a part of our daily lives both corporately and individually. We seek to worship God in a variety of styles and genres, including some services that are in a more contemporary style and others that are more traditional. Whatever your preference, we pray that God is glorified and His people are edified in each of our services together! Our Contemporary Services (8:30 in summer; 8:20 and 9:40 am in school year) are led by a music ministry team, and we are pleased to use a variety of musicians each week, including singers, guitar, bass, drums, and an assortment of other instruments. In our Traditional Service (11 am), our musical worship is led by the organ and the Adult Choir. Our Adult Choir sings each week during the school year, and meets for rehearsal on Tuesdays at 7pm in the sanctuary. Various members of our church family – including junior high and high school students, college students, and adult community members – play instruments or sing during all three weekly services. If this is a way you would like to get involved, please contact Amanda Cox. Beginning the last Sunday of June and continuing through the first Sunday in August, we practice Summer Sabbath. During these weeks, we intentionally practice a collective Sabbath rest. We cancel committee meetings and other gatherings except Sunday morning worship: one blended worship service at 10:00 a.m. We do offer nursery and children's church (ages 2-5) ministries during the service. .

I seriously never remembered such searing temperatures in April before - ever, in my life (and I am a woman of the world!). Obvs I'm not complaining, of courses. It's just that my poor little lady can't deal with it so well and spends the time indoors, in the shade.
Well, I broke the mold today and whipped her up to Skitters Wood to enjoy a little of what the bluebells enjoy and that's dappled shade. She needed to get out and although she didn't want to, initially, she was glad that we did because it meant she could pick up sticks and pick weedy flowers and enjoy the fresh air. And as Bluebells peaked this weekend, I thought we would grab the last chance for a few pictures before they wither away until next spring.
Isn't she a doll?
She loves picking for sticks, flowers, weeds - just picking, picking, picking!
And this picture is so her.
I like to remind people that asking your kids to smile for a photo just isn't natural. It's so much more candid to take pictures of them looking away or sat wondering and thinking ...... your kids don't have permanent grins on their faces so pictures like this are more or less what you see when you are observing them. Although, when you can, it's such a great opportunity to snap a photo of them laughing spontaneously (and without them knowing you are shoving a camera in their mushes!!!).
When Belles had gone to her sleepover this afternoon, I faffed around taking pictures of some bluebells that belles had picked for Amy (her sleepover buddy) and Me.and an undershot of this little beauty, here.
There was no reason to take the pics other than to just play with light.
And there is lots of it to spare right now!

Domestic air passengers began paying a new fee of up to $10 per round trip Friday to help pay for increased security checks following Sept. 11. The fee, imposed as part of the new Aviation and Transportation Security Act, is $2.50 per flight segment with a maximum of $5 each way on a round-trip ticket. For passengers leaving the United States on international flights, the fee is $2.50 even if there are multiple segments.
The airline industry and the Air Travelers Association opposed the fee, arguing that security is a government function and should be financed from general tax revenues. ''We don't think you should have to pay a fee to call a cop,'' said David Stempler, president of the Air Travelers Association, a nonprofit advocacy group for airline passengers.
Besides the security fee of up to $10 per round trip, passengers face a 7.5 percent domestic ticket tax, a $3 fee per flight segment for air traffic control costs, and a maximum of $18 in passenger-facility charges. The airlines must pay the federal government an average of $4 a passenger for security screening, according to the Air Transport Association, which represents major carriers.Continue reading the main story

Laughter rang out from a group of children as author Ricci Broussard Hebert read her book, "A Saintsational Swamp Adventure," during Literacy Night held at Myrtle C. Thibodeaux Elementary School in Westwego recently.
"The purpose of literacy night is to encourage the love of reading," Principal Dodie Plaisance said.
Plaisance kicked off the event with an introduction of Hebert. The author is a New Orleans native and graduate of Ursuline Academy and Southeastern Louisiana University. She taught for the Jefferson Parish Public Schools System for six years.
After giving birth to her daughter, she decided to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a registered nurse. She is employed by West Jefferson Medical Center as a well-baby nursery nurse.
After the birth of her son, she decided to write and publish a children's book -- again, something she has always dreamed of doing.
Plaisance used the introduction as an example of pointing out to the children that they can reach their goals in life. "If you believe in yourself, you can do anything."
The first floor of the main building of the school was set up with seven different stations decorated with a Saints football theme. The stations consisted of family activities that parents also can do at home with the students. The children, along with their parents, moved from station to station in order.
Teacher Sherri Cabal monitored one activity, saying, "I think it is wonderful for students to come out and learn at the same time."
Students played "Saints Jeopardy," "Comparing and Contrasting A Swamp Adventure'' and "Saintsational Swamp Vocabulary," and made "Saintsational" bookmarks. The bookmarks read "Who Dat" on one side, and "Sensational Reader" on the other side.
"Touchdown for Technology" was a computer lab in which students can log onto websites for learning. A list of websites was given to the students so they can do the activities at home with their parents. Each website consists of literary games.
"This is an excellent idea to get the parents involved with the children," teacher Linda LeBlanc said.
Both children and their parents had a great time. "It gives the kids an opportunity to listen to a story and play games," Manuel Torano, father of Jacob Torano, said.
Robert Robichaux said he enjoyed watching his daughter, Adrianne Robichaux, play the activities.
Guests also had the opportunity to meet the author during a book signing.
Rickie Vinet and his son, Tyler Vinet enjoyed the event. "I think it was good the way they did it," Rickie Vinet said.
Summing up the event, Plaisance said, "It was a success."

The United States, Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, Poland, Finland, Latvia and Lithuania signed the Memorandum of Understanding for the membership, and more countries are due to come on board in July, Reuters reported.
Host Finland – a militarily non-aligned EU member – has a 1,300-km border with Russia, which has been accused of mounting so-called hybrid campaigns in the Ukraine conflict as well as of interfering in the US presidential election.
Russia has denied interfering in the vote.
The center will be based in Helsinki and will form a network of experts for the participating countries. A steering group is due to hold its first meeting on Wednesday. It is expected to have a team of 10 people working there by later this year.
"The center is a real boost for the cooperation between the EU and NATO … Hybrid activities have become a permanent part of the European security environment," Finland's Foreign Minister Timo Soini told a news conference.
Finland last year voiced concern about what it sees as an intensifying propaganda attack against it by the Kremlin. Germany has also reported a rise in Russian disinformation campaigns and targeted cyber attacks.
Soini said the new center was aimed at raising awareness of hybrid threats and societies' vulnerabilities that can be exploited in hybrid operations. "The use of hybrid strategies puts the internal cohesion and resilience of our societies to the test … What is needed in response is not only state, but societal resilience, a comprehensive approach to security."
The annual budget of the center is initially around 1.5 million euros, with Finland providing half the funding and the rest covered by members.

Sarah Palin dragging down Republican ticket: polls
.....New polls showed Wednesday that seven weeks after John McCain plucked the Alaska governor from political obscurity to be his running mate in the November 4 elections, Palin is seen as an increasing liability for Republicans.
The Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll found that Americans are less and less convinced she is worthy to serve as the country's number-two leader.
"Her numbers have plummeted in our poll ... what's more 55 percent think she's unqualified to serve as president if the need arises, which is a troublesome number given McCain's age," said NBC political director Chuck Todd.
The poll also puts the 72-year-old McCain 10 points behind his Democratic rival Barack Obama, and says that 47 percent of those surveyed viewed Palin negatively.
It confirmed the findings of an ABC/Washington Post poll released earlier this month which found that six in 10 voters saw Palin, 44, as lacking the experience to be an effective president.
"A third are now less likely to vote for McCain because of her," the Post added.
After being found guilty of abusing her power as governor in the so-called "troopergate" scandal over the firing of her ex-brother-in-law, Palin
now faces a second probe over whether she violated ethics rules in the affair. ....

Back in March of 2013 when I first started playing around with attaching Sordins to my bucket, I spent a lot of time searching around for other solutions on the market. There were a few, albeit not quite what I was looking for which led me to the conclusion of fabricating my own. The first set were rather crude, with few of the dimensions remaining the same from one part to another, and ended up with a thick layer of Krylon on them. I was stoked that I had a fix for my problem and didn't really have any further vision except a MkII version that were a little more streamlined than the first. All of that changed when I showed up to Pat Rogers EAG Shoothouse class sporting these new toys. I was immediately met by the response of other shooters demanding to know where I had found these crazy little parts and how they could get a set. Their initial response is largely responsible for formation of Iron Forged Concepts and the offering of the SARA to other shooters.
As with any piece of kit, I would never recommend it to someone unless i'd be willing to run it myself. Over the past six months, several different models of the SARA have found their way onto my trusty helmet, and after thousands of rounds on the range, feedback from many friends in the industry, and several redesigns, the GEN2 SARA came to fruition. Eliminating the annoying headband pinch, adding additional stability to the helmet, especially under the use of NVGs, and the peace of mind knowing you have a good seal around your ears are just a few of the benefits that I've found to running the SARAs. I'm proud of the form and function that the SARA has grown into, and am pleased to offer them. God speed and stay safe.
Owner, Iron Forged Concepts

A friend has suggested dinner at Red Pearl Kitchen for Saturday night. Neither of us have ever been. From past posts I've read, it seems the chatter about this place is "it's ok" at best.
My friend is interested in ambience over food (someplace dark, a little hip), I'm far more interested in the food. What do you all think? Is there some place else I should suggest to him (we're looking to stay near Hollywood or W Hollywood), or am I being overly critical of this place? Has anyone been recently?
Thank you all

The Link Between House Prices and Divorce
Declining house prices make it less likely that a homeowner will get divorced but more likely that a renter's marriage will end, a new study finds—probably because a drop in equity traps unhappy couples in their house, while renters can find two affordable apartments.
There's been anecdotal discussion of the effect of the housing bust on divorces—the authors of the new study cite this post, from WSJ.com's The Juggle—but the article represents a first cut at studying the issue empirically.
Lacking long-term data including both demographics and housing prices, the researchers combined two data sets: the Bureau of Census's Current Population Survey, from 1991 to 2010, and Federal Housing Finance Agency figures for house prices in more than 150 metropolitan areas.
The researchers used educational status as a proxy for renters and homeowners (since many more college grads than high-school dropouts are homeowners: 80% versus 58%). The focus was on people ages 25 to 79 who had ever been married. Looking at high-school dropouts, over the full period, the proportion who were divorced was 14.6%. That figure would rise to 17.58% if housing prices dropped 10%, the researchers calculated, after looking at historical patterns….

Loo racing is on in Putaruru
Usually people are racing to the loo, but on April Fool's Day in Putaruru they will be racing on them.
As a fun event the Putaruru RSA will be offering racing motorised scooters with a toilet seat on top, for punters to have a go on.
Event organiser Adele Motion said it was organised to let people make a fool of themselves on April 1, otherwise known as April Fool's Day
Motion saw a Cambridge man was hiring out the vehicles and thought it was just the ticket for the RSA's patrons.
"I had never seen that before, so I thought we might as well give it a go," Motion said.
"It should put a smile on a few people's faces."
For $5 people can get on and try their luck on the seats from 7pm, in a track with inflatable walls.
Or if you just want to watch, it is free to view, she said.
Though Motion hoped the unique event would not clog up the venue.
She was not sure what the rules were, but she did lay some basic guidelines.
"No skids on the wheel, or the seat."
And the final push.
"Come on, what other time is it acceptable to see someone else on a toilet seat."
* April 1, 7.30pm. $5 door charge. Awesome prizes to be won for having a lot of fun on the loo. Putaruru District Services Memorial Club, 35 Buckland St, 07 883 8591.

text: A German friend emailed the other day to tell me that she's going to Mallorca to celebrate her 50th birthday. She felt a little sheepish, she said, because the island is so popular with her compatriots that it's sometimes called "the 17th state." (She wondered if she were the only German who hadn't been there yet.) This delighted me because it gave credence to my claim in The Joys of Travel that the Germans are the world's greatest travelers. The closest thing we Americans have to a 51st state is not an island that we flock to but one that, as Doug Mack suggests in his excellent new book The Not-Quite States of America, we colonized.

Roselle Flowers
Roselle may be used raw, dried or juiced. The fruit's tart flavor requires a sweetener of some kind, and it is successfully used like a cranberry in recipes for jam, jelly, chutney and even wine.
Barrel Cactus Fruit
The fruit of the Barrel cactus is best prepared in sweet applications, since its natural tartness lends itself well to a hint of sugar. Cook the fruit down with agave syrup to make a jam, jelly or a sweet and sour chutney.
Lime Mint
Inventory, lb : 0
|Fresh Origins
Lime mint is a citrus variety grown for its fragrant leaves. Growing up to 16" tall the Lime mint plant produces rounded green leaves that are oftentimes brushed with a burgundy to bronze blush. In the summer and fall months the Lime mint plant will produce petite purple flower spikes. Lime mint has a tangy citrus-lime taste and aroma with subtle nuances of mint, a flavor which is enhanced when crushed releasing the aromatic oil in the leaves.
Lime mint is typically available in the summer months.
Current Facts
Lime mint or Mentha x piperita subsp. citrata is a member of the Lamiaceae or Labiatae family and a hybrid of common mint. Mints are classified as aromatic herbs and they are almost exclusively perennials, rarely annuals. Like many varieties of mint, Lime mint is often used for pest control in gardens due to its ability to attract beneficial insects such as butterflies and bees and detract harmful insects such as aphids, fleas and ants.
Lime mint can be used fresh or dried for both savory and sweet applications. It can be muddled and used to add a citrusy tang to cocktails, tea and dressings. Use when preparing sauces or rubs for seafood preparations. Chopped leaves work well in both fruit and green salads. Pair with other aromatic herbs in herb based sauces such as pesto or mint chutney. Add whole leaves to ice cubes, popsicles and sorbets.
Originally native to European countries, today Lime mint has been naturalized in temperate regions around the world. It prefers full sun to partial shade and can thrive in a variety of different moist soils. An aggressively growing herb, if not monitored Lime mint will quickly spread throughout a garden. To prevent running grow in individual pots or sunken containers in a garden bed.

An obtuse and an acute unicursal heptagram within a heptagon. Seven is the number of completeness. It finishes; sets the final frame and meaning, like the seven chakras or the seven tones of the octave. Seven is guiding as to a new level, into a new dimension.
The geometric lines of this pendant are all raised, with the background being recessed and blackened. The sterling silver pendant is 27 millimeters in diameter and hangs on 25 inches of black leather cord. A loop and toggle style clasp is in the bask with a 10mm sterling disk with an engraved unicursal hexagram as the toggle. The pendant itself is slightly domed outward with a soft bevel on the back. This is a piece that I had made for myself and decided to add to this collection.
Use the green SUPPORT THIS PROJECT button on the homepage or follow this link to purchase the heptagram necklace. The support amount for this piece is $80

A hulking refurbished battle android
Baxter is a hulking humanoid robot, essentially a walking tank. He stands seven feet tall, with broad shoulders and a massive chest, and a huge pair of arms that can mount a variety of weapons. He has bulky, round feet each with four blunt "toes" that can grip a variety of terrain, and heavy digitigrade-style legs. His head is proportionally small, nestled in close to his chest with only a minimal range of motion. His head is round, with a sharp edge in front like a hawk's beak. He has no real face, only a pair of dark eye-like sensor lenses set in his head. His entire body covered in metallic gray armour plates, with black metal workings visible at his joints and other gaps in the armour. Various sockets and mounting areas around his body are intended to hold weapons and equipment. The letters "B.A.X.T.E.R." are stenciled on the left side of his chest.
Baxter is not top-of-the-line, showing clear signs of damage and repair. His armour is tarnished and carbon burned in places, with a few obvious dents and seams where he has been welded back together. One of his sensor lenses is smaller than the other, and sometimes rattles loose in its socket. His right arm usually mounts a salvaged mechanical hand, a clumsy and cheap thing wrapped in peeling leather. His left arm usually mounts an obsolete plasma cannon prone to overheating.
Plasma Cannon: Baxter usually mounts an obsolete plasma cannon in his left arm's primary socket. The futuristic energy-weapon equivalent of a tank's main gun, the plasma cannon can do outrageous amounts of damage, but it is inaccurate and prone to rapid over-heating.
H-50 Grinder: A massive six-barreled rotary cannon capable of firing over six thousand rounds per minute of high caliber ammunition. The Grinder tears through infantry and can down conventional aircraft, but the ammunition is hard to come by, and exhausted rapidly. Baxter rarely mounts the Grinder unless going into heavy combat.
Hand: Baxter usually mounts a hand in his right arm socket. The hand is a piece of salvaged technology not originally intended for Baxter's model. It is much larger and stronger than a human hand, but terribly clumsy, with only three fingers and a thumb, and not suitable for delicate work. The circuits and wires of the hand are protected by a glove-like layer of leather, cracked and badly in need of restoration.
Jump Jets: Baxter has a powerful jet pack mounted across his upper back. It provides enormous thrust for short periods, allowing Baxter to execute jumping maneuvers well beyond normal human capabilities. Under normal gravity, Baxter can jump approximately the height of a three story building at a forty-five degree angle. Baxter has no wings and only the most rudimentary control surfaces, so he cannot technically fly under planetary conditions.
Fusion Power Core: Baxter is powered by a fusion core built deep inside his torso. The core provides enormous amounts of power and can go ten years between refueling. This source of power does not require access to oxygen or recharging. In the event of catastrophic damage, there is a risk of rupturing the core and causing a massive explosion if the core is not appropriately shut down. Baxter contains several fail safes to ensure the core shuts down before such a thing could happen, though these can be de-activated.
Sensors: Baxter has a significant sensor suite, including both the eye-like lenses on his head and several systems contained inside his armoured chest. He can "see" in a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum, including infrared and x-ray frequencies. He can detect distinct bio-signatures and most forms of radiation within several hundred meters, and can detect and analyze chemical traces in line-of-sight.
Resistant: Baxter is armoured like a tank. He is largely invulnerable to bullets and highly resistant to most energy weapons. He is fireproof, acid-resistant, and hardened against standard electro-magnetic attacks, such as the EMP caused by a nuclear weapon.
Non-living: Baxter has no need for air, rest, food or water. He is immune to poison and disease. He can survive and operate normally in a vacuum and under massive amounts of atmospheric pressure. Magic such as life-draining or healing spells, or mind-control spells intended to work on animals, have no effect on Baxter, though strangely psionic powers do sometimes have an effect.
Weapon Master: Baxter has an encyclopedic familiarity with weapons, combat styles, and battle tactics from across the Multiverse. His battle computer is capable of analyzing and reacting to almost any combat situation, coming up with new strategies on the fly and adapting to situational changes.
Baxter is old and busted. He is no longer a top-of-the-line fighting machine. His chassis shows signs of severe damage and serious repairs, and he is dependent on cobbled-together spare parts to continue functioning. His origins are unknown, and it is impossible to get appropriate spares or a proper set of schematics to fully repair him. His right eye, for example, is a replacement made in the City, not intended for his model of android. It sits loose in its socket and rattles about at times, severely reducing his depth perception and accuracy.
A battle android without an army to serve or a war to fight, Baxter is somewhat at loose ends. He is deeply uncertain of his place in the world, and he has a rigid way of thinking which makes creativity and proactivity difficult.
His personality tends to be stoic and professional, as is often typical of robots. He speaks in an incongruously soft voice, sounding more like a history teacher than a terrible battle robot. It is exceptionally rare for him to show obvious affection or anger, though his AI is capable of simulating emotional responses. He likes dogs.
Most of Baxter's history is unknown. He was discovered in Warfield, broken and non-functioning, and brought back to the City for study by the Cartographer's Society. Cartographer technologists repaired and reactivated Baxter to the best of their abilities, but were disappointed to discover that his memory banks had been badly corrupted. Baxter was unable to recall his identity, his affiliations, or his mission, and could not provide the Cartographers with any useful or interesting information.
Without any other obvious options, Baxter continues to work for the Cartographers on and off, where he has found some use as a nearly-invincible first-in scout, using his impressive sensor suite to gather data from dangerous environments. He also finds occasional work as a mercenary, though without knowledge of his intended purpose or directives, he is hesitant to commit too fully to any cause.

The BikeShare.com team would like to welcome its newest bike share expert, Alex Vickers. He'll be assisting the team in content creation and marketing, and after a week in the office we already have some great plans in the works. His primary mission is to redesign the BikeShare.com website and expand our audience with a wide range of new content and social media engagement. (If you haven't liked us on Facebook or followed us on Twitter, now's your chance!) We decided to have a short Q&A with Alex to help our readers get to know him.
Matt Christensen: How did you first become interested in bicycling as a form of transport?
Alex Vickers: My interest in bikes began during my time at the University of California at Santa Barbara, where the beach cruiser bike culture gave a real world example to the teachings of my Environmental Studies degree. At the same time I was learning about the ill-effects of car culture and the exponential growth of vehicle miles traveled (VMT), my personal VMT dropped to near zero as I walked, skateboarded or biked to 98% of my engagements. To those unaware, UCSB boasts a great network of bike lanes and Santa Barbara is one of California's most bike-friendly cities second only to Davis. And I really caught the bike bug during my study abroad in Copenhagen, which was a hugely formative experience for my personal and professional development.
MC: Tell us more about your time in Copenhagen!
Growing up in Los Angeles and living in Copenhagen was a complete shock, the two cities couldn't be more of a yin and yang (although L.A is starting to change!). I bought a bike on my third day in the city (shown to the right) and throughout my six month stay I was in a car a total of three times. I went from the city of freeways to the city of cycle tracks, trading broken speed limits for bike-only turn signals. Copenhagen offered my first introduction to bike share, with their primitive coin-based bike share system that I often took advantage of during my long walks home from Copenhagen's relentless nightlife. The only coursework I was able to apply to my major back home were graduate level urban design courses and after some cajoling with the teaching staff I was being taught urban planning within the city that was breaking the fields ground. Learning about Jan Gehl in the city where he made his mark was an incredible experience to say the least.
MC: When did you realize you wanted to pursue a career in the bike industry?
AV: Shortly after returning from Copenhagen, I graduated from UCSB and found myself back in Los Angeles in the midst of a sea change. In April 2011, LA saw its first CicLAvia–a concept modeled after Ciclovia in Bogata, similar to "Bike the Drive" events elsewhere–and the City of LA had passed its groundbreaking bike plan the year before. So, I was able to land an internship working for the LADOT's Bikeway Team under Michelle Mowery and Nate Baird. My primary role was contributing content to the LADOT BikeBlog, writing articles and filming educational videos. I got a great introduction to the infrastructural options available to make Los Angeles more like Copenhagen, and was exposed to the political realities you have to face in order to do so.
MC: And how did you get into bike share?
AV: Well, the next step in my career occurred at April 2012's CicLAvia, which featured Bike Nation's announcement as Los Angeles' bike share provider. I emailed my resume to management as soon as I got home from CicLAvia and received a full-time event planning role that came to include a number of marketing and operational roles. You may have met me if you stopped by our booths at Pro Walk-Pro Bike, Mobility 21, or subsequent CicLAvias. I built and maintained the Bike Nation Blog, as well as their presence on social media platforms. Seeing what it takes to get one of these systems into the ground, and the interface between technology, urban planning, and elbow grease that a bike share system demands was truly an eye-opener. I learned a great deal during my time at Bike Nation and look forward to applying my skills here at BikeShare.com!
We hope you enjoyed learning a bit about Alex Vickers. His experience in the bike share industry makes him a great addition to the team and we look forward to his contributions to BikeShare.com as we look to become the industry's go-to for news, research, events, and collaboration within the industry.

Bought these and napkins. Very nice!
Service and delivery comments:
Came quickly
Just what we needed!
These were purchased for the baby shower of my soon-to-be-here grandson. They were PERFECT!! They exceeded my expectations!! The blue feet were so sweet - much better in person even. I ordered the whole line of products - plates, napkins, tablecloth, and cannot wait to show off everything at the shower!
Best Uses
Again these were purchased for my daughters baby shower in which she picked the tiny toes theme for her party, and these plates worked out great for the cake. I believe that the most decorative plates should be used for the cake because the cake is the biggest part of the party, so I ordered these plates 100 of them to serve the cake. They were the perfect size, and made my daughter very happy, and it made it every easy to make sure everyone got the same size piece of cake because the same size plate. I think for the design, they were a good deal for the price.
Best Uses
The cake plates went will with the other decorations for our baby shower.

Aug. 20, 1968 G. M. CRQOK THREE-AXIS REVERSIBLE SENSOR MOUNT Filed Jan.
Gaines M. Crook,
-\ 4 AGENT? United States Patent 3,397,586 THREE-AXIS REVERSIBLE SENSOR MOUNT Gaines M. Crook, Canoga Park, Calif., assignor to TRW Inc., Redondo Beach, Calif., a corporation of Ohio Filed Jan. 5, 1967, Ser. No. 607,445 5 Claims. (Cl. 74-96) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention pertains to a three-axis reversible sensor mount wherein a frame is supported for rotation about the axis of the shaft. Sensors are mounted on the frame with their sen-sing axes mutually orthogonal with the axis of the shaft. A second shaft, perpendicuar to the first shaft, is rotatably attached to the frame. A pulley, fixedly attached to the second shaft, is driven by a belt which passes over a second pulley that is mounted on the first shaft and is held fixed relative to rotation of the first shaft. Sensors are mounted on the second shaft with their sensing axes parallel to the axis of the first shaft and mutually orthogonal to the axes of the sensors mounted on the frame such that the sensing axis of the sensors form a set of cartesian coordinates. A rotation of the first shaft 180 effectively reverses each sensors sensing axis along their res ective cartesian coordinate axes.
Background of the invention This invention has particular application to the measurement of small magnetic fields in the order of one gamrna Gauss). One of the many difiiculties involved in measuring a magnetic field of this magnitude is that a volume of controlled magnetic field is required as an environment for the measurement .and as a condition for calibration of the measuring instrument. The controlled environment may consist of a Helmholz coil, or it could be a magnetically shielded enclosure called a flux tank. The magnetic flux gate measuring system is one of the most sensitive systems for measuring vector fields; however, this device suflers somewhat from an offset near zero field. Offset in a system such as this may be measured by reversing magnetic sensor physically and computing the difference in indicated field values. If the measurement is made in a flux tank, the offset will include the perm effect of the flux tank. It is permissible to have a perm in the flux tank if its value is known within a degree of confidence. It has been found that if the offset is to be measured, it must be done Without opening the flux tank, for after exposure to ambient earth fields, an entirely different perm condition can exist. The problem has been partial-1y solved by the design of a simple pivoted mechanical mount which pivots a single probe 180 without opening the flux tank. This is acceptable for the calibration of single-axis systems but is of no use for calibrating a three-axis or tripole system. The problem, therefore, is to reverse the three vectors of a right orthogonal system with one comparatively simple motion without opening the flux tank.
Summary of the invention A set of cartesian coordinates can be defined by the intersection of two perpendicular planes, generally designated the 'k plane and the i-k plane. Reversal of the sensing axes of sensors placed along the i, j and k axes can be accomplished by rotating each one of the planes about axes that are perpendicular to the plane. The sensing laxes can therefore be reversed by rotating the planes of the sensing axes about two perpendicular axe-s. In order to rotate the two planes with one motion, it is necessary to couple the rotational motion of one plane to the other plane. Because the sensors take up 3,397,586 Patented Aug. 20, 1968 physical space, they cannot all be located at the origin of the cartesian set of coordinates. Reversal of the sensors will therefore cause a physical translation to a new position, which will be parallel to the old position. This translation can cause difficulty in situations where severe gradients are present, these elements can be mounted in such a way that as each reversal is effected, the two elements exchange places, thereby averaging their outputs and effectively negating any effect of the physical translation. Each pair of sensors should therefore be symetrically mounted about their axis about which they are to be rotated. Because any type of magnetic flux measuring system is very sensitive to electric currents, it is not possible to utilize electrical actuators or to rotate the axis With electrical servo motors. The particular use of the device requires that mechanical linkages made from nonmagnetic materials be used. It is also desirable to provide the device with adjustable mechanical stops such that an accurate reversal of the sensing axes can be obtained repeatedly. If electrical devices were used to sense the final positions of the axes, they would be subject to offset conditions caused by changes in temperature, variations in power supplies, etc.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and novel device for reversing three orthogonal axes.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a device wherein three orthogonal axes may be reversed with one input motion.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a device for reversing the axes of a plurality of nonparallel sensors.
In a preferred form of the present invention, the foregoing objects are achieved by rotatably mounting a frame to a base by means of a shaft. Sensors are mounted to the frame orthogonal to the axis of the shaft and to each other. A second shaft is rotatably mounted with respect to the frame along an axis which is perpendicular to the axis of the first shaft. Sensors are mounted to the second shaft perpendicular to its axis. A first pulley is affixed to the second shaft and a second pulley is symmetrically mounted about the first shaft and fixedly attached to the base member. A pair of idling pulleys are mounted to the frame between the first and second pulleys with their rotational axes perpendicular to the rotational axes of the first and second shaft. A continuous belt passes over the pulleys and transmits rotations of the first shaft to the second shaft, effectively reversing the position of the sensor mounted to the second shaft and the sensors mounted to the frame when the first shaft is rotated The aforementioned and other objects of the present invention will become more apparent when taken in conjunction with the following description and drawings in which:
Brief description of the drawings FIGURE 1 illustrates the preferred embodiment of the present invention in isometric projection form; and
FIGURES 2a and 2b illustrate in vector form the rotation of the axes of the embodiment of FIGURE 1.
Description of the preferred embodiments Referring to FIGURE 1, a base member 10 which may be made from some non-ferrous type material such as brass, wood or plastic, provide a rigid support for the vertical bearing holding members 13 and 14. A shaft 12 is mounted to the vertical members 13 and 14 by means of bearings members 15 and 16, respectively, the axes of the bearings defining a, first axis of rotation. The shaft 12 has a perpendicular stop member 22 mounted to one end which limits the angular travel of the shaft 12 to approximately 180. Limiting screws 26 passing through 3 the vertical member 14 provide a vernier adjustment such that the shaft 12 can only be rotated 180". A knob 28 is mounted to the other end of shaft 12 to facilitate its rotation. This knob may be actuated by hand or in remote applications such as those encountered in a spacecraft; it may be actuated by means of a pneumatic tube such as a Bourdon tube, which is partially wound around the knob and upon the application of air or gas pressure from a reserve vessel, the expansion or straightening out of the tube will rotate the knob a fixed amount. A frame member 11 is fixedly mounted in a substantially central position on the shaft 12. A second shaft 16 passes through the frame member 11 and is supported for rotation by means of bearings 24 in the frame. The shaft 16 defines a second axis of rotation coincident along its longitudinal axis. The second axis of rotation is substantially perpendicular to the axis of shaft 12. A pair of idler pulley supports 18, project from a corner of the frame member 11. Idler pulleys 19 and are positioned on the support members 18 with their rolling axes perpendicular to the axes of shafts 12 and 16. A pulley 17 is fixedly attached to the shaft 16. Another pulley 30 is fixedly attached to the vertical member 13 with the shaft 12 passing freely through its center. Projecting from shaft 16 in a perpendicular direction is the perpendicular stop member 23. The stop member rests against the vernier adjusting screws 25, which are adjusted to provide 180 of angular freedom to the shaft 16. A continuous belt 21 passes over pulleys 30 and 17, and the idler pulleys 19 and 20, coupling rotations of the frame 11 about the first axis to the second axis via the pulley 17. To ensure that the second axis is rotated exactly 180 for a 180 rotation of shaft 12, it is desirable to make pulley 30 With a larger diameter than pulley 17. Also, to ensure that the second axis is rotated and held against the stops 25, the continuous belt 21 may be made of rubber or some other elastic material that stretches slightly. In operation then, when the perpendicular stop member 23 hits the vernier stop set screws 25 in either position, there will still be some angular rotation left in shaft 12 before its stop member 22 contacts the stop screws 26. Forcing the shaft 12 to its stop posiition will ensure that shaft 16 has rotated its full 180.
Magnetic field sensors 27a and 27b, having an axis along which they sense magnetic fields, have their sensitive axes designated by an and 7', respectively, are mounted with these sensitive axes perpendicular to the second rotational axis of shaft 16 and substantially parallel to the first rotational axis of shaft 12. The magnetic sensors 27a and 27b are also mounted symmetrically on opposite sides of the shaft 12 so that when the shaft is rotated 180", the magnetic sensors are transposed in position. Magnetic sensors 270. nd 27s are positioned such that their sensitive axes E and E are perpendicular to the first rotational axes and also perpendicular to the sensing axis of magnetic sensors 27a and 27b. Magnetic sensors 27d and 27s are symetrically positioned about the first rotational axis of shaft 12. Magnetic sensors 270 and 27 (shown in dotted lines), have their sensing axes i and 7' mutually orthogonal to the sensing axis of sensors 27a, 27b, 27d and 27e. Magnetic sensors 27c and 27 are positioned on the frame 11 symmetrically disposed with respect to the shaft 12.
A pulley 29 is fixedly attached to the shaft 12 between the bearing 16 and the frame 11. A spring 30 is connected to the pulley 29 and exerts a tangential force on the pulley to restore shaft 12 to a resting position. Spring 30 is particularly adaptable when a remote rotational source such as the previously mentioned Bourdon tube is used to rotate the knob 28. When the pressure is removed from the Bourdon tube, the spring takes over and coerces the shaft 12 back to the rest position.
Referring now to FIGURES 2a and 2b, the coordinate vector axes of the magnetic sensors 27 are designed by i, j and k. These axes form a right orthogonal coordinate system. When shaft 12 is rotated fully counterclockwise, the magnetic sensing vectors are reversed. FIGURE 2b illustrates this positioning of the reversed magnetic sensing axes designated -i, j and k. Pairs of sensors are used to minimize any offsets that may occur due to the translatory shift in position, but it would be obvious to those persons skilled in the art that the invention would also function satisfactorily if single sensors were used.
In summary, the invention provides a reversal of three mutually orthogonal sensor axes with one simple motion. Translatory effects are also minimized by allowing dual sensing elements to exchange places and thereby provide an averaging effect at the sensors output. With one simple motion required to reverse to all three orthogonal axes, a pneumatic type actuator may be used effectively, simplifying the operation of the device. The device finds particular application as a magnetometer mount aboard spacecrafts, wherein the probe offsets may be taken into account. Vibrations encountered during launch of a space vehicle can change the offset of the probe from the value seen during the calibration on earth. Under some conditions, this offset could also change in space. A small pressure device such as a gas bottle containing compressed gas, can activate a Bourdon tube to provide reversals of the device.
While there has been shown what is considered to be the preferred embodiment of the invention, it Will be manifest that many changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the essential spirit of the invention. It is intended, therefore, in the annexed claims, to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true scope of the invention.

my 450 has great bottom and top end, but seems to have a flat dull spot in the mid-range. i'm running the JD jeting kit...gyt pipe insert, and the airbox has been opened up.
any suggestions ?
1 - disconnect your gray wire
2 - disconnect your TPS
3 - Disconnect both
The grey wire was disconnected before i ever rode the bike.
disconnect the Throttle Position Sensor ?????? give me some more insight on that one, if you could please.
i have same bike with same problem. i installed the jd kit, and am currently working with clip position to see if i correct it. so far i have been unsuccessfull. i PM'd JD with questions, if i get this worked out, i'll let you know. i'm running the blue needle, clip is now in 1'st position. i tried 2'nd, 3'd fourth.... same problem.
don't be to quick to disconnect the t.p.s. it sounds like you need to get some jetting straightened out. you've got the jd kit but you didn't say what you jetting is right now. red needle, blue needle, clip position...... let us know what your current specs are.
You need to be on a 165 main and red #5 in Michigan with 60 degree weather.
i rode today...40 out. blue needle #4
165 main and blue #4 is right on for 40 degree weather. What is causing mid range jetting issues?
Is it even a jetting issue ? i dont know. as was said earlier, i'm not the only one with this problem. it runs ok in the mid range..it just seems to kind of flatten out until she's screaming on the top end.
that's a good point. rider to rider, bike to bike. what you feel is a flat spot, i might not even notice when i ride. is it a bog type feeling? do any of your buddies have wr's? have you ridden theirs? a lot of us run exhaust inserts because their only about fourty bucks and are a big improvement over stock, but would a fmfQ (or p.c., white bros. .....)be what we really need for these bikes?
Disconnect it, try it. If it is better...GREAT! If it is the same...hey you gave it a shot. This whole evolution will take less than 5 minutes.
As for going after your jetting first...let's see, one takes 30 seconds, the other a day of testing.
