St George's Day?
The Liga 2 promotion race is almost over. This Sunday, second-placed Sepsi OSK Sfântu Gheorghe are away at struggling CSM Metalul Reșița, where a point will guarantee a place in the top tier for the first time in their short history. (The fact that the game will take place in Ghermănești, a seven-hour drive and 550 km away from Reșița itself, is incidental and merely indicative of the malaise in which this country's football finds itself. See this blog passim, if you're not easily depressed by things like this.) This is terrific news because it allows me to shoehorn some undercooked socio-political material into this post.
Sepsi's rivals for second place, UTA Bătrâna Doamnă, slipped up big time during their midweek game, following up a good win away at Timișoara by losing at home to mid-table Balotești, who should have had nothing to play for. The "Old Lady" of Arad now has only one game left to play, while Sepsi have two remaining fixtures in which to find one solitary point and condemn the Aradeans to a tough play-off with the third-bottom Liga 1 club.

The King rules OK
Last Saturday night, Viitorul sealed their first-ever league title with a 1-0 win over CFR Cluj, thanks to a second-half penalty, in front of a sell-out crowd of 4,500. Goalscorer Gabi Iancu returned to Hagi's club last summer from Steaua/FCSB, whose 3-0 victory at home to CSU Craiova secured them the second Champions' League spot – ahead of city rivals Dinamo, whose draw with Astra Giurgiu made no difference to their final position of third. Got that? FCSB's Gigi Becali still believes that the League's regulations are unclear and intends to take his case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, in the hope of having the trophy awarded to his club. Continue reading
Emergency update!
Here is RomaniaBalls' emergency ordinance, being pushed through at an unreasonable hour of Super Saturday morning. Gigi is the main story – as so often…
Yesterday FCSB owner Gigi Becali announced that he has combed the League's full regulations for the competition, with a lawyer, and found that if his team and Viitorul finish level on points, then FCSB will in fact be champions! This claim runs counter to what the League have published on their own website, which states that if Viitorul win tonight they win the title no matter what. Who is right? Continue reading
Super Saturday awaits
So… it all comes down to a triple-header to decide who wins the Romanian league championship 2016-17, and who gets the second Champions League qualifier spot. After the top three all won their away games last weekend, the final three fixtures of the Liga 1 play-off will all kick off at 8pm this Saturday evening. Continue reading

This is the first proof that I pulled this afternoon. I rolled the ink on it instead of inking up the press because I didn't want to clean it up for printing a few proofs.
Thanks to my cousin, Jessica, I changed "Decemer" to "December." It usually takes a few sets of eyes to make sure everything is correct.
One of my sisters said that I should make this into a calendar by printing all the dates for months on the bottom. That's definitely a possibility. Any feedback is always welcome!

BB stands for "Bulletin Board". BB Code was first created in February 1998, and was used in the forum software UBB v3.0. It allows people who don't know about HTML to still manipulate the way their text will look on the web. They have all tags which are used for creating links, font style, font size make a content bold and other content formatting issues. BBCode was implemented as method of providing a safer and easier way of allowing posts to be formatted on forums for the people which don't have any idea about the HTML or for the people which don't have any programming languages.

I first started D&D when the rulebook only went up to third level. I spent the 80's playing Top Secret, Twilight 2000 and Weird Al Yankovic, which could be a pretty strange combination at times. Then I found a little blue rulebook with the word Champions in bright red letters, and the world changed.
I'd been collecting comic books for a while and I was astounded at the ability to put my daydreams onto paper and into numbers. Flight! Energy Blast! Power Destruction! It was loads of fun, and part of that fun came from hanging out with people who enjoyed telling a good story.
Over the years I've been in more campaigns than I care to try and count. Most ended after only a few games, a few went on for months and a very few lasted for over a year. Those few endured because of the story we—the GM and the players—collectively wrote, putting together a world in which we adventured, won, lost and forged our own destiny.
I've found that it's not the system, or the players, or how much flavor text the GM writes—it's the collective, interactive story that binds the characters together and keeps the players on the edge of our seats wondering what will happen next, how they can change things and luxuriating in the triumph of making a difference in the world. A good campaign has action, adventure, romance, mystery and victory snatched form the jaws of defeat. It's more than a group of friends enjoying a game—bowling and poker do that—it's a collective storytelling effort that can become much more than what any single person could create.
Shadows Angelus was one such campaign.
We were cops doing a dangerous job that needed to be done, and I based my character on a sergeant I knew—a no-bullshit, get-the-job-done guy who was willing to look the other way when necessary. The rest of the team was off the wall, though: a paladin, a mouthy, trigger-happy convict, a rookie mage and a scientist with his head so far up his books it wasn't even funny. I figured it'd be a fun few games, personalities and/or characters would clash and the campaign would implode.
Then the world changed again.
Ross took the HERO System and made me fear for my character's life. He took larger-than-life anime and gritty realism and blended them with descriptions that made my back itch. His NPCs had motivations I could relate to and personalities I could respect—or loathe. The world was on the one hand realistically believable and eerily possible, and it responded to us. Our actions dictated reactions, and if we wanted to get results we had to be willing to accept the consequences.
First and perhaps most importantly, the game was lethal. The HERO System is designed to simulate comic books in which people die only in extreme circumstances. This game gave us our normal PD (6 in my case) plus 6 points of armor against 3d6 HKA at an OCV of yes-I-hit, all dice on the table with no take-backs or second lives. This was significant to players who were used to expecting their characters to be, while not always victorious, still around for the next game. The emotional investment of character creation was not to be discarded lightly, and here was a GM who would not only take no precautions against character death, but actively presented us with highly lethal situations.
It took a bit to get over my reaction to this, but I now firmly believe it's one of the reasons the campaign was so successful. It's been said you can't live until you feel you're about to die, and the sweetness of mere survival was thrilling in ways that merely capturing a supervillain couldn't touch. Holding death at bay for just one more day became something to enjoy, not just assume, and faltering in the face of the slavering jaws of defeat meant death—not waking up in a deathtrap to a gloating villain—and we knew it. That made every moment, every triumph and success that much more enjoyable, and every loss that much more poignant.
A second major factor was the flavor text. My first experience with horror campaigns was Call of Chuthlu and while the original Lovecraft novels were kinda spooky, the game didn't do much to evoke the creepies. Our characters were doomed, we knew it and the dice just dictated how long it took.
The visuals in Shadows Angelus made my skin crawl. Ross spent time on his flavor text and it showed—he read off paragraph-long descriptions of blood-spattered walls, howls of unknown creatures, figments of unearthly beauty and shards of eerie phantasms. It was, as Galadriel said, "beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night."
Ok, so I'm waxing poetic. But it was good. He pulled pictures off the web showing desolate scenes of ruined cities, hideous monstrosities and disturbing landscapes. More importantly, he used them appropriately. When went on patrol, it wasn't just raining. It was Storming, with the wind whipping sheets of icy rain in great waves across the dark streets, washing the grime of the city into the dark sewers in rushing torrents. The lightning would crack and thunder roll in booming waves that resonated deep within our bodies. Then we chased some gang punk into an ally only to watch him explode in a shower of gore, with a hideous black monstrosity emerging from the steaming corpse, its gaping maw bristling with teeth as the rain washed the blood from its carapace.
See how a standard random encounter can evoke images when described correctly? Now imagine a GM who does this sort of thing all the time. That's Ross.
Keep in mind the lethality of the game—when he talked about blood spattered walls, we knew there was something around with the capability of rending us limb from limb. We weren't all that much tougher than a normal, and there were times when I hesitated to take my battle-hardened veteran and walk down a hallway, because I just didn't know what might be around the corner.
And that made me—not just my character—nervous. It was remarkable.
Now while that's all well and good, it's the little, personal touches that completed the desire for my scalp to crawl away and hide. After a particularly horrific encounter, Ross handed out index cards with our new, zero-point Psych Lims—little role-playing elements that we could integrate into our character to simulate the lingering effects of our close encounter with That Which Should Not Be. Mine was a dislike of flies, and from then on every few adventures there would be insects of one type or another. Ross would mildly add "the flies buzz around the corpse in an almost angry cloud" to a description and look at me, and I'd be reminded of the encounter where I lost an arm. He didn't make a big deal of it and never asked for EGO rolls, but he never let me forget that my character had once been far too close to an otherworldly presence. The big picture was bad enough, but it's the little details that really got under my skin.
A few comments on the NPCs are also in order. While most of the bad guys were reality-rending killing machines, as much as I dislike admitting it those were the easy ones to handle. They wanted to kill us, we objected and the debates often became heated. Often lethal and always horrific to be sure, but it was a straightforward fight. It was the bad guys we really didn't want to defeat that made the campaign stand out.
One villain wanted to save the city by closing the portal through which the demons arrived. So did we. He wanted to save the city and have humans remain the dominant life-form on the planet. Well, we didn't object to that either and it helped that he didn't kill us when we were captured—he wanted the opportunity to show us what he was doing and convince us he was doing the right thing. On the down side he'd slaughtered tens of thousands in the process of breeding an elite army and his backup plan was nuking the city from orbit, but hey! His intentions were all for the best.
And my character didn't really want to stop him. He had already created the army, the plan sounded good and damn if I didn't want to just let him remove the evil from my city. Unfortunately he wasn't too concerned with things like collateral damage or civilian casualties and we had to fight him, but the inter-team argument was highly spirited.
There are three basic conflicts: man versus nature, man versus man, and man versus himself. All campaigns contain the first—nameless enemies that serve as speed bumps on the road to victory. Good campaigns have the second, in the form of intelligent enemies who introduce themselves before putting a dagger in your back. Only the best campaigns have the third and force players to look within themselves for answers to uncomfortable questions.
Shadows Angelus brought all three together in a well-crafted web of epic proportions. We fought with mindless killing machines intend on devouring all human life. We fought with people who we respected but with whom there was no compromise. And we fought with ourselves over the morality of sacrificing a family in the protection of the entire city. Did the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? We were the people on the spot and we had to make the call. And Ross is the one who put us there.
He forced us into ethical quandaries, value judgments and the morality of fighting for an intangible "greater good." We knew that no matter what we did, someone would say we were wrong and blame us for what happened. Just like real life. It was harsh, uncomfortable and highly aggravating, and one of the best things a GM can do to his players.
And the guy who started all this? The evil mastermind plotting to sacrifice millions of people to demonic hordes? He just wanted his son back. He was willing to do whatever it took to save the child he loved.
Can you really blame him?
I've a daughter and I hesitate to think what I'd do to keep her safe.
We stopped him, but there was no "of course" about it. We stopped him because not stopping him would have been worse. And then we went to look for his son anyway, because it was the right thing to do.
And that's the final element of the campaign that stood out. Actions had consequences. Whatever we did would come back to us, one way or another.
Early in the campaign we traced an organ-stealing operation into a corporate building and encountered a greater demon. It's not really our fault he escaped, but through our actions we humiliated the corporation. Much later in the campaign we were faced with the question of corporate extraterritoriality and those same people came back to remind us of what we'd done. And because we rejected the concept and managed to make it official policy, corporations worldwide abandoned the city and sent the economy into decline for over a decade.
It wasn't something we'd thought about. We were cops and didn't like the idea of somewhere in which our laws didn't apply, but how many lives did we ruin because of our actions? How many working-class families no longer had jobs because the corps thought it was too "risky" to do business in Angelus? How many teens turned to drugs and petty crime in order to escape a lower-middle-class life of soy meals and lowest-common-denominator sitcoms? We may have made it easier to enforce laws across the land, but we certainly didn't make life better.
And when we needed a lead on a drug-running operation, one of the contacts we visited was a Yakuza crime lord. We talked, came to an arrangement and from then on took a slightly softer touch with the Yaks. When disaster struck they were right out in front helping folks get back on their feet—and nobody complained. Then they showed their darker side and we found that by allowing the nose of the camel into the tent, we also had corruption on almost every level of government and an increase in violent crime—with strong legal protection for the criminals.
Were we right to talk to the guy in the first place? We needed help to track down the source of a drug that turned people into demons, but was it worth the cost of increased organized crime?
We don't know. And we'll never know.
And it's precisely that uncertainty in long-term effects that made the campaign such fun.
On a much more personal level, Ross also challenged us to take actions that would directly challenge who we thought we were.
My character was a cop. He'd spent eight years in uniform and believed in the "serve and protect" as though it were written in stone. He'd dedicated his life to upholding the law and spend the past game-year fighting against forces beyond mortal comprehension, at the same time watching warmongering politicians using fear tactics and assassination to take control of the city. The elections were legal but the end result was that a man worthy of standing beside McCarthy and Stalin was put into a position of effectively unlimited authority.
So what did my character do?
He shot the guy. My character became an assassin, betraying his job, his teammates and his oath. It was an incredibly sublime moment, when I realized that the phrase "to serve and protect" didn't include qualifiers such as "only when convenient" or "unless it'd ruin my career." He was driven to protect the city to the best of his ability, at all costs. At any cost.
And it's this one, single act that embodied so much of what I enjoyed about the game.
It was lethal—I was able to kill a significant NPC with a single die roll. It was visceral as Ross wrote up the scene and described the government's reaction. There was lots of conflict, both external—his teammates were completely in the dark about this and their eventual reactions were noteworthy—and internal. His reaction was an acceptance of God's plan, and acknowledging the fact that while he may help build the kingdom of heaven he would never be worthy of entering. I had fun bluebooking that set of personal revelations.
And there was fallout. Lots of it. Partly good, as the next guy in charge was more conservative in his policies, but mostly bad. My character confessed and was entering prison at the end of the campaign, was dishonorably discharged and lost the respect of virtually everyone who knew him. Could we have done it another way? Certainly. But choices were made, events were set in motion and all we could do was deal with what happened next.
Was it worth it?
At the time I thought so. I still think so. We needed things changed so we could fight the demons instead of the government. But it ended a good man's career in disgrace. Of all the ways for my character to end the campaign, being led off in chains wasn't one I had ever envisioned. And while that character went on to become a significant figure in the city's organized crime, I wouldn't change a thing.
Nietzsche said "Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torments of Man." Shadows Angelus both embodied this concept and exploited it to the fullest, for in our torment we always had the hope of success. Even in the least hopeful situations Ross insured that success was possible, and with sufficient struggle we could emerge victorious. There were prices to paid, and often we had to pay dearly, but if we so chose we could come through it on top.
So we choose, and paid, and we survived.
The campaign? Most definitely worth it.

Find the Right Plumber for Fort Worth Plumbing Savings
Your Fort Worth home's plumbing can be a source of real pain and expense, but there are some tips which you can follow which will allow you to avoid some truly costly problems so you can save more on your plumbing for the long term.
A great first place to focus on for plumbing savings is your water heater. If you have an older water heater that hasn't been replaced in over a decade, then it's likely that your water heater's efficiency isn't as great as it once was, thus costing you more in electricity. If It's the case that you have an old water heater, then replacement could save you not only in terms of repair costs of an aging water heater, but also in terms of electricity usage. The same line of reasoning goes for other appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers. If you have older inefficient appliances, then you can look forward to longer-term savings when you have those appliances replaced with newer and more energy-efficient appliances.
Clogged drains can be another source of pain and expense. Avoiding clogged drains as much as possible will end up saving you big in the long run. It's a good idea to get a strainer that will catch some of the debris that is normally associated with clogged drains. Hair, food bits, soap, and other types of debris can be prevented from entering into the drain system with a simple strainer. This simple tip will go a long way in helping you save on your Fort Worth plumbing.
In general, keeping your plumbing well maintained and catching problems early on will save you immensely. So, it's a good idea to call us here at DFW Pipe and Plumbing for regular professional Fort Worth plumbing maintenance service. With our professional plumbing help, you can look forward to plumbing that is more problem-free, which will also mean you can stay worry-free. If you'd like to learn more about how we can help you save on your plumbing, then simply browse through our website, http://dallaspipeandplumbing.com. If you'd like to reach us for questions or professional plumbing service, then give us a call today at 972-929-3300 or use the contact form found on our website.

The Second Amendment has often been thought of as the most important to American safety. The right to arm and protect oneself is essential to personal liberty. The founding fathers were acutely aware of this which is why they specifically included constitutional provisions to guarantee our right to bear arms. We forget that sometimes it's the government itself we have to protect ourselves from.

Pair cut from car after freight train collision
Two women were cut from car after it collided with a freight train at a level crossing in Patumahoe last night.
The two women, aged 22 and 23, were taken by Westpac Rescue Helicopter to Auckland Hospital in a serious condition but were stable this morning.
They were expected to be released from hospital in the next few days.
The Counties Manukau Police Serious Crash Unit was still investigating but said the crossing's lights and bells were going when the women's Nissan Lucino was hit.
The Patumahoe Volunteer Fire Brigade were called to the scene just after 8.30pm to rescue the women, who were trapped in their car.
They were at the scene for three hours and used most of their rescue gear to cut the driver and the passenger free from the car.
Pukekohe Volunteer Fire Brigade Fire Chief Scott Darnill said his crew also attended the crash.
''[The car] was pretty well damaged just a short way down the track,'' he said. ''It was pretty chaotic when we first got there but the Patumahoe crew had it pretty well in hand.''
Crash investigator Constable Hollie Given said the two women were very lucky not to receive more serious injuries.
''The impact of a train hitting a vehicle is devastating and in this case, we are very glad that we did not attend a fatal incident,'' she said.
''We advise everyone travelling near train tracks to be aware of their surroundings and be prepared to stop as soon as you see flashing lights or ringing bells at a level crossing. Never attempt to cross the tracks before the train.''

Aftershock Comics 2016
Created & Written by David Hine
Illustrated by Alberto Ponticelli
Coloured by John Kalisz
Lettered by Comicraft's Jimmy Betancourt
The hunters become the hunted. As The Wednesday Club closes in on Ray and Toni they go into hiding and Ray finally reveals to his daughter what happened twenty years ago in The Bloody Chamber!
I'm really very impressed with what David is managing to do here. This issue picks up right where we left off after Ray attacked Toni's mother. The characterization we get is different from what the characters in the story see about each other. I love we can identify that and we can understand why Ray doesn't speak up it's really clever writing. Though Toni isn't so clever yet she still has need of her father and off they go, much to Tess' chagrin.
So after attempting to head back to the store, only to see the results of what happened last issue, the pair go into hiding. So father and daughter who've never been close and she's seen his dark side in action and wants to know more. Yeah this isn't the kind of stuff that doesn't smell like adding gasoline to a bonfire isn't a bad idea. Still Toni takes them to a "friend's" flat where they will be safe and unnoticed and open the files on the flash drive--for reactions please read issue.
Here she demands to know the truth. I love what Ray says here about it too. "Maybe not the whole truth but the best I can remember." What everyone in this story forgets is that Ray had to be on these Mushrooms to get his visions, right? So the police used him, and used him a lot and he got lost in the mushrooms plus it allowed for a connection between him and the Reaper. This level of drug use, a highly hallucinogenic one at that, combined with the horrors of the Reaper and what he did is it any wonder Ray is kind of crackers? No one has sympathy for him, I mean he's been used seven ways to doomsday then turned and left out in the cold for things beyond his control.
While there isn't much "action" this issue the filling in of the backstory and planting seeds for what's to come is phenomenally well done. Then there's the ending, OH she is definitely her father's daughter i'll give her that.
Alberto's work on the interiors is so gosh darn good. I mean there is clean, strong, detailed linework. His flow of the story across the pages through panels is wonderfully orchestrated. The emotion he can bring to the page, from shame, horror, disgust and love, resignation and you name it he can make you feel by looking at a character. With John's colouring and the differential between past and present they make a darn powerfully good team here. Thank you for not showing anything graphic I appreciate that heh, the photo's in his trophy room were disturbing enough.
This is powerful, disturbing, enlightening and makes you feel empathically for it's main character in subtle ways.

Park Up III - Yet another Bypass Community Garden
Date : 21
November 2002
From : 'Growing Community' in association with the Wellington Rainforest Action Group, Campaign for a Better City and Anti-Bypass Action.
Park Up III - Yet another 'Bypass' Community Garden.
On Sunday the 1st of December the urban community garden group 'Growing Community' are organising the creation of yet another garden to stand boldly in the path of the proposed inner-city 'Bypass'. This time in an empty lot on Buller Street near the Terrace Tunnel.
The brainchild of several Wellington 20-somethings, Growing Community was set up to transform unused urban land into vibrant living food gardens for local people to use as a gathering space, to restore native wildlife and as a symbolic barrier to the 'Bypass'. Two gardens already exist in Tonks Avenue and Kensington Street. An attempt was made at Buller Street earlier this year but was foiled by "concrete-like soil problems" says spokesperson Emily Bailey and so the group are trying again but this time "with hardware". All the gardens lie on the proposed inner city 'Bypass' route "as a form of protest or demonstration of what the land can be 'sustainably' used for and how it can be beautified and loved by the local community instead of being concreted for vehicles that just want to drive on by". Buller street was chosen as there is an unused space halfway down the street that already has some tall trees and receives plenty of sun and foot traffic.
People are invited down to enjoy in the creation of the garden. Included on the day will be an acoustic performance from local groove/rock/reggae band KAMAhi and an opportunity to enjoy a BYO picnic, weather permitting. Meet between 10am and 5pm on Sunday the 1st of December. Bring edible plants, herbs, native plants, instruments, paintbrushes, decorations and any tools you have. Mulch and compost is especially sought after.

Jessica Simpson Nose Job Story Is NOT True, Despite Claim
Jessica Simpson is NOT looking to get a nose job, despite an entirely made up tabloid story that hit newsstands on Wednesday. Gossip Cop can exclusively bust this report. A source close to Simpson assures Gossip Cop there isn't even a whiff of truth to it.
According to the National Enquirer, after supposedly "lashing out" at her sister Ashlee for getting her own nose fixed, Jessica Simpson now wants "a new nose for summer!" (We had no idea they were seasonal.) The tabloid quotes a so-called "friend" of Simpson as saying, "Jess really wants to up her sex appeal and her nose is her next project."
So, what is the singer and fashion entrepreneur actually going to get done? The same fake "friend" says, "She wants to narrow down the bridge and lift the tip." And why now? The magazine bizarrely offers two reasons. One, the tabloid says Simpson wants to return to performing, and since there's a "lot of competition out there" these days, a nose job will help her "sexy image." The second (and extremely absurd) reason she wants rhinoplasty, claims the Enquirer, is because Simpson's "nose has changed since she had her kids." Besides a refresher course in Journalism 101, the staff at the magazine could benefit from an anatomy lesson or two.
You would think the Enquirer would know a thing or two about noses, being the Pinocchios of celebrity reporting, but apparently the outlet does not. A source who nose, er, knows Simpson well tells Gossip Cop exclusively the magazine's story is 100 percent "not true."

About Peter Biľak, Ondrej Jób, Andrej Krátky
Peter Biľak, Ondrej Jób, Andrej Krátky are the team behind Fontstand, an app that allows users to test-drive thousands of fonts from 20 international type foundries and independent designers for an hour at no charge. It's a novel idea for design students, professional designers, or anyone on a short deadline who might want to use a particular font for a one-time project, as traditional licensing models require users to pay for a full license regardless of usage.
Conceived by independent type designers specifically to address the concerns of their industry, it provides customers with a simple way to try fonts for free and rent them by the month for a fraction of their regular price, an ideal solution if you need a font for just one project and don't plan on using it again. At present, Fontstand features thousands of fonts and font families from more than 20 of the world's top independent font foundries, including the work of internationally recognized designers.

Dorricott dominates on Friday; sweep top-3 in provisional qualifying at Road America
ELKHART LAKE, Wis., (August 16, 2002) -- Jon Fogarty (Dorricott Racing/Thomas Fogarty Winery & Vineyards Swift 014.a) and his teammates took a stand in Friday afternoon's qualifying that this Championship is far from being over. With a threat of storms tomorrow afternoon, Fogarty set fastest time while breaking Hoover Orsi's 2001 track record at the 4.048-mile circuit at Road America.
Fogarty, who enters this weekend 19 points behind Michael Valiante (Lynx Racing Swift 014.a), posted a time of 2:01.110 seconds (120.327 mph) which came late in the session and broke Orsi's mark of 2:01.278 seconds (120.160 mph). Fogarty earned the bonus Championship point with the provisional pole cutting Valiante's lead down to 18 points along with guaranteeing a front row starting spot in Sunday's race. Valiante logged the fourth fastest lap with a time of 2:01.353 seconds (120.086 mph).
"Every point I get is crucial at this stage of the season," said Fogarty. "Luis and Alex are right with me which is excellent for Dorricott Racing. However, my best lap was an effort. Time was running out. Laps at this track are so long that you don't get many chances. I came onto the front straight-away not exceptionally well. I knew I had to make it up so I challenged the brake zone entering turn five, worked to get through turn six, and actually altered my gear pattern on that lap. It paid off. I went of it in the final corner and nearly tossed the car off the track, but I didn't and the rest is track history now"
Luis Diaz (Dorricott Racing/Telmex Swift 014.a) held the top spot late in the session before Fogarty took it over. Diaz, who was also under Orsi's record, held the second quickest time of 2:01.258 seconds (120.180 mph) and was followed by his teammate, Alex Gurney (Dorricott Racing/Behr Castrol Swift 014.a) with a time of 2:01.340 seconds (120.099 mph). Both drivers are in need of cutting into Valiante's Championship lead this weekend to keep their title hopes alive.
Waldemar Coronas (Scuadra Fortia/Aviacsa/Royce/Maizoro/Millenio Swift 014.a) continues his strong second half season run by posting the fifth quickest lap with a time of 2:01.414 seconds (120.026 mph).
"The track is great," said an excited Coronas. "I have never been here before but it reminds me of Monza in Italy. The long straightaways and the sweeping turns are like that track. We are three-tenths of a second off of the pole, so if the weather stays like today, we can go faster.
The session was slowed once for three minutes when Alex Garcia (Transnet Racing/Dixien Swift 014.a) spun in Turn 8 and stalled. After assistance from the CART Simple Green Safety Team, Garcia was able to continue on and stay in the session.
Saturday practice begins tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m. CST with second round qualifying getting underway at 12:20 p.m. CST.

I love shooting in a natural, outdoor location and currently my most favourite location is Jericho park / beach. However, if you prefer intimate family portraits with relaxed atmosphere – you can pick your place as long as the lights coming properly.
The best time for shooting is really depends on the time of year…you may think that a bright, sunny day is a perfect day, however, in fact, an overcast day is still good enough as the clouds soften the lights…If you book a session in the summer, let us avoid mid day (e.g.12pm-3pm). The sun is way too strong…
<What should we wear?>
This is totally up to you – please wear anything that makes you comfortable and feel so YOU. I'd recommend avoiding tops with too noisy patterns though. Cohesive look but not too matchy matchy. For those who have trouble picking up the outfit for photo session, I found this article might be helpful. (Thank you Annie @ Paint the Moon)
<What to bring?>
Bring any special loveys (blankets, animals, books, toys, etc.) is an excellent idea. Having something familiar will provide your kids relaxing atmosphere. Please also remember to bring a snack and drink. Even if you have feed them beforehand they may get hungry or thirsty during the session.
<New born>
The first 10 days of your baby's would be perfect timing for shooting. My focus is to capture the "real connection" between family members and baby, and I would prefer not using cheesy baby props as babies are beautiful enough to capture as the way they are. However, if you have some ideas, let us talk.

After your portrait session, you will receive 5 referral cards. Every booking made thru your referral cards you will receive 20% discount on your next portrait session (e.g. regular session on weekdays is $350, and you'll get 20% = $70 discount, so it'll be $280!)/products purchases.

I was born in 1953 in Pula. From 1956 until 1985 I lived in Zagreb, where I went to school. I now live in Velika Gorica.I have been writing poetry and other literary work from an early age. At the beginning I was painting as well, and at one time I was member of the art group '69'. Unfortunately, I had to neglect my love for painting due to family commitments.
In Secondary School, I was an active member and students' representative in charge of the school library, where I was actively involved with the maintenance and lending of books to other students. My written work was published in schools' newspapers, magazines, etc, and I was invited to read my poems at various official events and festivals.
Around 1970, my poems have been published in magazines for the young - in Tina, in Prvomajac, and in the collection of poems - Poesis. As a young mother, I told stories (which I made up) to my son, not because other stories were not good, but because of his curiosity and constant desire for something different. It was from him that I gained the incentive to write my first book.
In my former workplace (Metalia Commerce) I organized festivals for children, and at the time when my country was at war, I arranged an exhibition of children's drawings from our estate in Velika Gorica.
Apart from children's stories and novels for adults,
I write also poetry.

For two weeks every summer the TT motorbike races transform the Isle of Man, an otherwise peaceful haven of horse-drawn carriages and mackerel fisherman. Sam Shead reports.

By Sam Shead
12:05PM BST 03 Jun 2011
A sea of metal and leather lines Douglass Victorian-style promenade as thousands of motorbikes sit patiently, waiting for their adrenaline-junkie owners. This is the scene on the Isle of Man waterfront during the yearly, treacherous TT races, being held right now until June 10.
The ear-throbbing spectacle, which attracted 30,787 tourists in 2010, involves riders hurtling around the deadly 37-mile Mountain Circuit a route that has claimed the lives of 231 competitors since its foundation 100 years ago.
It is a far cry from the usual peace of this proud, self-governed island. Steeped in Viking history, the Isle of Mans usual attractions are very different from this fortnights wafting scent of petrol and sweaty leathers. The TTs King of the Mountain accolade is the title every rider strives for, but the story of the King of Mann tells the tale of the uneasy ride the islands power-hungry rulers endured over the centuries.
The Vikings nominally founded the islands parliament, Tynwald, in AD 979 and as a result it is potentially the longest continuous-standing parliament in the world. Obscure, historic legislation, such as the fact that a local may shoot a Scotsman wearing a kilt if spotted on the islands shores, is now hidden away in the islands parliamentary archives hidden, but by no means erased.
The TT lasts for two weeks, with a week of practices and qualifiers, followed by four full days of races, where riders race against the clock the record lap speed was set by John McGuiness in 2007 and stands at 130.354mph, which equates to a lap time of 17 minutes 21.99 seconds.
Although the riders get little chance to take in the views, the route passes through some of the Isle of Mans most spectacular scenery. From the capital, they race west across the island, taking a sharp right at Ballacraine corner, before continuing their pursuit north. Next stop is (rather dreary) Ramsey, the islands second largest town, before the racers take the Mountain Road south and back to the capital.
Panoramic views of the entire island are visible from Snaefell, the islands highest peak. Throughout summer, the Manx Electric Railway takes visitors to the summit of Snaefell from Douglas, Ramsey and Laxey, where they can soak up the views of the Six Kingdoms (Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland, the Isle of Man and heaven) over a picnic. The riders, on the other hand, roar by in a haze of reds and yellows at speeds of over 200mph. A dash down the long straight between privately-owned Kates Cottage, a well known landmark, and one of the most famous drinking holes and vantage points on the course, the Creg-Ny-Baa pub, sees the riders arrive back on the islands east coast, where the finish line awaits.
For 50 weeks of the year, however, the island moves at a much calmer pace. Horse-drawn trams traverse Douglas two-mile promenade, while the four-horned Manx Loghtan sheep, unique to the island, roam across glaciated valleys, and mackerel-filled fishing boats pull into the small fishing towns of Peel and Port St Mary.
Although much of the coastline is avoided by the TT course for safety reasons, it is a spectacular sight, with high, jagged cliffs home to thousands of Manx Shearwaters. Below are long, white sandy beaches, such as Port Erin, littered with translucent, purple-tinged jellyfish. The Raad ny Foillan, the islands 95-mile coastal path, offers some of the islands best views.
The sea itself attracts scuba divers from mid-may to August, when graceful (and harmless) basking sharks and frolicking seals occupy the plankton-rich waters.
For those who dont fancy an icy plunge in the Irish Sea, the southern part of the island, neglected by the TT racecourse, is home to the islands former capital, Castletown, while the southern tip, known as the Sound, offers spectacular views of the Calf of Man. This uninhabited rocky outcrop is separated by the dangerous waters of the Calf Sound and is home to the worlds highest density of lighthouses.
The proximity to, and dependence on, the sea is visible throughout the Isle of Man, with historical fishing towns and villages scattered around its shores. The famous Manx Kippers, something of an acquired taste (thanks to their overpowering odor) have been an island staple since the 1870s. The two remaining curers (Moores and Devereaus) can both be found in the fishing town of Peel. Stop by Peel Harbour at lunchtime and you can pick up a fresh kipper bap from Moores at a bargain price.
However, fishing has taken a back seat over the years as the finance sector has firmly established itself in Douglas, and reeled in far more lucrative profits and plane-loads of pinstriped businessmen from the City every morning. This is, after all, something of an offshore tax haven, and has attracted both super-wealthy residents and an increasing number of celebrities, including Jeremy Clarkson, Rick Wakeman and the late Sir Norman Wisdom.
To compliment the Isle of Mans more obscure sights and traditions, such as cats with no tails and the worlds largest water wheel (in the mining town of Laxey), the island is delving into the unchartered skies of space exploration. With 17 space companies registered there so far, a total of nearly £400 million has been generated over the last three years the island was recently named as the fifth most likely nation to next send man to the moon; a big claim for a little rock.
The islands motto, Quocunque Jeceris Stabit, comes from the three Legs of Man depicted on the islands national flag, and translates as whichever way you throw it, it will stand. A strong testament, perhaps, to the resilience of the islanders, who continue to welcome back the deafening TT crowd every year.
