A new ultimate loader is out its based on 1.5
I just made the skin, all props go to Waninkoko and the other guys out there!!
I am using USBLoaderModV3, so that's the only loader I've tried it with. Also, anyone that is using any of these, let me know if they look ok, on one of my TVs, they look fine n another , it looks like I have little more space to work with. I am using the standard 640X480 format. Keep in mind, that the loader, loads default images, so nothing gets in the way of the list or covers.
this one has a nice little optical illusion in the Wii logo, just look away from it for a few seconds and look what happens....
For the ladies

nice skins...I am after something like these...now can someone please tell me how do I put them on my wii to use with USB Loader GX....cos I have no idea on how to do it is there a tutorial on installation on skins somewhere?
Hello guys!
Is there a loader that supports loading ISOs from a network share?
Is it even possible?
Reading a burned DVD (4X) is about 5,28 MB/sec.
USB 2.0 goes around 30 MB/sec (60 MB/sec in theory).
Wii WiFi can reach up to 6.75 MB/sec (reading from lan shares).
So, in theory, the speed wouldn't be a problem.

Peter Sarsgaard to join The Magnificent Seven. The Garden State star and The Man in the Iron Mask actor, who played Raoul, the ill-fated son of Athos will now be a villain in the Director Antoine Fuqua upcoming movie remake. Variety has reported that Sarsgaard has signed up and he will play the story's chief antagonist. Joining Sarsgaard will be Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Haley Bennett, Ethan Hawke, Wagner Moura, Byung-hun Lee, Matt Bomer and Vincent D'Onofrio.
Originally drafted by "True Detective" scribe Nic Pizzolatto (since rewritten by The Blind Side's John Lee Hancock), The Magnificent Seven will remake the 1960 film directed by John Sturges that itself was inspired by Akira Kurosawa's 1954 classic Seven Samurai. Sturges' version starred Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, James Coburn and Robert Vaughn as a group of disparate gunmen who come together to protect a Mexican village from bandits led by Eli Wallach. It led to a number of sequels as well as a CBS television series.
The new film is said to feature a victimized mining town, taken over by a gold baron (Sarsgaard), rather than the Mexican village of the original.
Sarsgaard is from Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, the son of an Air Force engineer and later worked for Monsanto and IBM. Sarsgaard served as an altar boy and once wanted to become a soccer player and took up ballet to help improve his coordination.

Stocks opened lower on Monday, but reports that an agreement to end the partial government shutdown attracted buyers and the major indices closed modestly higher. At this time, it is rumored that Republicans will agree to a three-week cooling off period before tackling the touchy issue of the federal debt ceiling. And the Treasury Department indicated that it had $30 billion in cash that could last "for a week or two."
While the focus has been on the budget and debt ceiling negotiations, FactSet estimates that year-over-year growth for the third quarter will be just 0.8% compared to the first quarter's 3.4% growth and the second quarter's 2.3%.
Technology stocks were the focus of buying with Apple (AAPL[1]) gaining 0.7%, Google (GOOG[2]) up 0.5%, and Netflix (NFLX[3]) jumping 7.8%.
At Monday's close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 64 points at 15,301, the S&P 500 added 7 points at 1,710, and the Nasdaq rose 23 points to 3,815. The NYSE traded 575 million shares and the Nasdaq crossed 379 million. On the Big Board, advancers led decliners by 1.4-to-1, and on the Nasdaq, advancers were ahead by 1.6-to-1.
After popping to over 20 last week, the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) settled down, and that usually means that traders are taking long positions.
The Dow industrials had an impressive reversal up from major support on Thursday. The index drove above both its 20-day and 50-day moving averages and triggered a MACD buy signal.
Conclusion: In the short run, markets are often jostled by so-called "headline events" that cause temporary fear and the subsequent placing of short-sale orders. Jeffrey Saut of Raymond James correctly pointed out that these events most often lead to dramatic reversals triggered by massive short covering. One such reversal, with a "90% upside day" (90% of volume was on the upside), occurred on Thursday. This is a powerful bullish indicator that has occurred for the first time this year. And this was followed on Monday by MACD buy signals on the Dow and S&P 500.
Does this mean that investors should now jump into the market and ignore the current crisis in Washington? Caution is still favored, since short-term blunders by the politicians might still lead to a quick sell-off that could provide an excellent opportunity to load up on stocks. This unusually bullish signal does, however, increase our confidence that the long-term trend is decidedly bullish and courageous investors will be richly rewarded.

L'industrie de l'informatique à Toulouse : Développement, Structure, Enjeux
This article deals with the development of the software industry in the metropolitan region of Toulouse. This activity has emerged above all in tight interrelationship with the local aircraft and space industry. The detailed analysis of the economic geography of the Toulouse software industry brings out the central role played by the metropolitan labor market and the local structure of inter-industry transactions. The aircraft and space industry is marked by increasing externalization of its software functions, leading to a great intensification of the agglomeration of software producers in Toulouse. Local structures of regulation evince a propensity to the formation of private-public partnerships directed to support of the industry and the correction of market failures.

I would make Clark "Father-Ste" to Diana's children. Then, on the children's person views, make that tag primary. Then, check the settings on the reports you want to run, to see that "Father-Ste" is selected.
A Family Group "Sheet" for Clark will print on two pages. The first will show his children by Lois, the second should show the step-children he "fathered" with Diana.

Maker Faire Taps Into Detroit's Sense of Mission, History as City of Tinkerers and, Yes, Entrepreneurs
The spark of innovation can often be found in outrage—outrage that the world, or some part of it, does not yet contain something that has yet to be invented or brought to it. And James Peyer, University of Michigan stem cell biology Ph.D. student, part-time do-it-yourself entrepreneur, and participant in this weekend's Detroit Maker Faire, is outraged.
Here's why: When he was an undergraduate at the University of Chicago, his younger brother was taking advanced high school biology courses. "I was appalled by the tremendously low quality of exposure to real science that high-schoolers were getting," Peyer says. "They didn't actually learn anything about how research was done, how science was actually done, and how we learn new things, and how we innovate and invent using science."
That was outrage No. 1. Here's outrage No. 2: An important tool scientists use in biotechnology is a PCR machine, or thermal cycler, to manipulate and replicate DNA. But even the smallest and cheapest PCR machine is $2,000—beyond the means of most high school science departments. The machines, themselves, are really simple—an aluminum block that heats up and cools down to rip apart DNA. Still, universities with big budgets or third-party funding agencies are already configured for PCR machines to cost anywhere from $2,000 to $8,000, so that is how much they cost for everybody.
"When we're paying a couple hundred bucks for something like an iPhone, I feel like an aluminum block that heats up and cools down should not be $2,000," Peyer says.
So, Peyer is doing something about it, to try and fill a void in the world to placate his outrage. His company, Otyp, is creating a simple kit for high-school science classes, a kind of "Hello, World" tutorial program for biotechnology that teaches high-schoolers the basics of manipulating DNA. Without getting too detailed on the technology, the experiment lets students clone a fluorescent gene and paint it out on a petri dish in whatever pattern they want. Otyp is also creating an inexpensive, open source version of a PCR machine that local school districts can actually afford.
Now, take Otyp, and Peyer's sense of mission for it, and multiply it by 290. And that's what you have at this weekend's (July 31-Aug. 1) Maker Faire at The Henry Ford in Dearborn, MI—hundreds of innovative, outraged people who are hungry to change the world by filling a void.
This is the spirit of Detroit that Sherry Huss, director of the Maker Faire, wants to tap into. The Henry Ford, she says, is really a museum about the history of making, showcasing what Detroit was like when it was a city of tinkerers and makers and entrepreneurs, like Henry Ford himself.
"We're still finding that there's a strong base of tinkerers and creaters and hackerspaces, a rich environment in the sense of manufacturing," Huss says. "If we can understand the essence here, and share the spirit, the can-do spirit, it might be something that could actually be replicated in other cities that have been hit equally as hard."
Even though Huss has lived on the West Coast for the past 30 years, she grew up in Cleveland. So, she says, she "gets it." She knows what it's like to watch your community bounce up and down, economically. And she knows there's a hunger in economically hard-hit communities that cannot be found anywhere else. In the Bay Area, she says, much is taken for granted. In Detroit, there's a sense of mission.
As evidence of that, she points to the half-dozen or so hackerspaces that have cropped up recently in the Detroit/Ann Arbor area. Participating in the Maker Faire will be representatives from the hackerspaces a2Geeks of Ann Arbor, i3Detroit of Ferndale, All Hands Active of Ann Arbor, and the newly minted OmniCorp Detroit just now moving into Eastern Market space in Detroit. Hackerspaces from other regions in the Midwest, including Chicago's Pumping Station One, will also be represented.
What makes hackerspaces important? They're a place where computer workers—software developers, designers, what have you—come together to work and share companionship and ideas, sort of a new incarnation of the community clubhouses that have been lost when business went digital, Huss says.
"We've spent the last 20 years becoming more and more isolated at our computer and working in cyberspace," she says. "Hackerspaces signify the importance of physical objects."
She hopes the inaugural Detroit Maker Faire, part of a national series of similar events run by Make Magazine and O'Reilly Media, will become an annual event that brings makers from around the region together. That shouldn't be a problem, given the intense interest so far. Their goal was 200 makers participating. They now have 295.
"I think there's going to be a positive impact, and I look forward to watching this grow and flourish," Huss says. "In some cases, I think there are more people rooting for Detroit than any other area. In New York and San Francisco, this stuff happens all the time. Here it's really a sense of ownership.
Once again, the Maker Faire will take place July 31 – Aug. 1 at The Henry Ford.

Hazel and Finn will soon have to share their famous mom's attention: Julia Roberts is expecting her third child with husband Danny Moder.
Roberts is due this summer, her rep, Marcy Engelman, confirms exclusively to PEOPLE.
News of the pregnancy first appeared in the New York Post's Page Six column. Roberts, 39, and Moder, 37, were married in July 2002 and welcomed Hazel and Finn (short for Phinnaeus) in November 2004.
In May, Roberts told David Letterman of the twins: "They seem to really love each other…He's sort of very boyish and masculine. He has red hair and big green eyes. And she's very girlish and has very blonde hair and blue eyes. He likes blueberries. She likes her daddy."
After the twins were born, Roberts did voice work in two kid-friendly films, the animated Ant Bully and Charlotte's Web, out now. This spring, she made her Broadway debut in the drama Three Days of Rain.
In the fall, she was back to filming in earnest, arriving in Morocco in October to shoot the drama Charlie Wilson's War – with her 23-month-old twins and Moder in tow. She celebrated her 39th birthday at a local restaurant on Oct. 28 and was often seen sightseeing with her clan.
For Roberts, motherhood is her top priority. "The kids bring her such a sense of fulfillment and joy," Roberts's longtime friend and Three Days of Rain producer Marc Platt told PEOPLE in April. "It's wonderful to see."

After a solid run of success recruiting in Texas in recent years, can Oregon do it again this year?
The biggest recruiting splash the Ducks have made in the Lone Star State has been at running back. In 2008, it was LaMichael James. In 2010, it was Lache Seastrunk and Dontae Williams. In 2011, the Ducks went back to James' alma mater to sign Tra Carson, who broke all of his predecessor's records in high school.
Seastrunk, Williams and Carson all transferred after just one year at Oregon, but James left a trail for others to follow. And that's exactly what they've done. Last year, the Ducks flipped WR Bralon Addison from Texas A&M on signing day. They also convinced his cousin, WR Chance Allen, to flip from Oklahoma State.
So far in 2013, the Ducks only have one recruit committed from the state of Texas. Of course, if a program could only sign one player from the state, ATH Dontre Wilson (DeSoto, Texas/DeSoto) might be the one it would choose. For Oregon, that is exactly why they made him one of their top priorities in the Class of 2013. The 5-foot-10, 185-pound Wilson is as close to a LaMichael James clone as you can get.
The thing is, Wilson might be even better in some facets of the game. The No. 52 player in the ESPN 150 has some of the same skills that James, Kenjon Barner and De'Anthony Thomas have brought to the Ducks in recent years.
Who else do the Ducks have a shot at from the football-rich state of Texas as signing day approaches?
Unfortunately for Oregon fans, it doesn't seem like there are too many viable options at this point. DE Torrodney Prevot (Houston, Texas/Alief Taylor), a USC commit, and ESPN 150 LB Mike Mitchell (Plano, Texas/Prestonwood) have both had Oregon among their top schools and have expressed interest in visiting Eugene.
The problem for the Ducks is that Mitchell -- No. 121 in the ESPN 150 -- is announcing his decision at the Under Armour All-America Game between long-time favorite Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Oregon. He has visited the other three programs, but not Oregon. He will likely don a Buckeyes hat when he announces on Friday.
Prevot had Oregon on, or even at the top of, his list back in the spring. Once he visited USC for its summer camp, he gave his pledge to Lane Kiffin and the Trojans. Now has an official visit scheduled to Notre Dame on the weekend of Jan. 25. There were rumblings in the fall that Prevot and the Ducks could be working on a last-minute visit to Eugene, but that appears to have just been speculation.
Is anyone else lurking behind the scenes? It's hard to say now, and the Ducks may have to deal with another juggernaut, as Texas A&M has made huge strides in recruiting. But Chip Kelly has built a solid name in Texas and at this time last year, Addison and Allen were names very few Oregon fans knew. The possibilities are endless with the amount of talent in the state, so never say never with the way the Ducks have pulled surprises over the last few years.

Whale Bone Grip Sappho Pistol? Info? Worth?
Take a look at this pistol I have came across. Obviously it could be worth whatever someone wanted to pay but Im curious of some comps or posibbly an idea of what I should pay for my collection?
"This pistol was made by Bond who worked in Birmingham,England in the first half of the 19th century. The grip is beautifully scimshawed and has the sailors intials "JHE" and the ships name"Sappho". Also,the grips have what I beleive to be some kind of pink shells or beads inlaid in gold on them. The whaling bark Sappho was launched in 1845 at the height of the whaling trade. She sailed the seven seas for 37 years until she was crushed in Artic ice on July,27th,1882.

Nice looking gun.
The Sappho was actually crushed on May 6 1882, off Plover [Provideniya] Bay, Siberia. The July 27 1882 date is from a New York Times article written on that date.
Edit: Shipwreck registry the Sappho is on page 29

Thank you!
Thanks for the responses. I just saw this piece and am dying for it but at this point I can't make purchases I feel very comfortable with. I made an offer on the gun but we were just a few hundred dollars apart. I had a couple of concerns about it, and wish I could just find a comparable of some sort
Its driving me crazy! lol

If you want the gun, then get it. The few hundred dollars will be forgotten about eventually, but the gun will give you years of pleasure. Or, you could "split the difference" between your offer and his asking price.
There are some guns I purchased in past years that I know I overpaid for, but I have long since forgotten what I paid but still have the gun. (More than likely they are now worth more than what I overpaid for them.)

That is a rather nice screw barrel pistol. I suspect it is a late gun due to the double neck cock. But those guns were made in the late 18th and early 19th century - they would have been obsolete by the 1880s so it is not easy to see a connection between the pistol and a ship that sank in 1882. Perhaps the supposed connection with a whaler misled someone, but that stock looks like ivory to me.
There were a number of ships named Sappho, including four ships of the Royal Navy, one of which was an 18-gun brig-sloop launched in 1806, a much more likely date for that pistol and in line with the time Bond was active.
BTW, those are often called "Queen Anne" pistols, but Queen Anne died in 1714, long before the screw barrel became popular. Does anyone know what the connection was or why the guns came to be called that?

Queen Anne Style versus the English box-lock
Pistols with turn-off barrels were made well before the reign of Queen Anne (1702-1714). My father had several that dated from the late 17th century. A style of turn-off barrel pistol became popular during Queen Anne's reign. These usually had a barrel that resembled a cannon, locks incorporated into the breach with side cocks, silver decorations, walnut stocks and silver butt-caps that featured a grotesque mask. Pistols of this style became known as "Queen Anne" pistols.
The pistols shown below are of the box-lock style. English boxlock pistols began to appear around 1730 and lasted well into the percussion era of the next century. With a boxlock the cock (hammer) is located in the center of the lock on top of the action. The flashpan and frizzen are located just in front of the cock on the center of the breach. The frizzen spring is fitted into a recess on top of the breech. Most boxlock pistols have a trigger guard safety. Sliding the trigger guard forward with the pistol half-cocked, locks the trigger and the cock. The box-lock in the first post has a type of safety common on smaller pistols. It is located on top of the action behind the cock.

Real early breach loader
It was my pleasure Jim K. I decided to stop lurking and contribute to the discussion.
When I started researching early breach loaders it was surprising to find out how far back they go. According to the Oxford Companion to Military History, Leonardo da Vinci illustrated a hackbutt (a type of early, heavy matchlock musket) with an unscrewing, or 'turn-off' breech in his Codex Atlanticus of c.1500-10.
I am still looking for a copy of that drawing.

While they seem to have been reasonably popular, it has always seemed to me that a screw barrel gun simply is too time-consuming to reload. Powder and ball can be rammed as fast as a barrel can be unscrewed, and a cartridge will make loading even faster and without the need to carry a powder flask and balls. IMHO, the supposed extra power of the screw barrel does not counteract that greater difficulty, at least in a small pocket pistol.

Queen Anne pistols for personal defense not military use
Queen Anne pistols were vastly superior because of their accuracy and range. Their size made them easier to carry loaded in the pocket or belt. In some cases they were even rifled. They required greater skill to make and were expensive when compared with the more common Holster pistols (aka dragoon pistol). Holster pistols were preferred by the military. Queen Anne's were preferred by the wealthy for personal defense. Pirates seem to have liked them too.

If the Marcellus softball program earns long-term success, it may look to May 28, 2009 as a moment where it fully arrived.
Trailing by five runs to defending champion Westhill, about to be knocked out again early, the Mustangs made it all the way back and, in eight innings, stunned the Warriors 6-5 in the Section III Class B-1 quarterfinals.
For a long while, it looked to be a routine matter on Westhill's part. A series of defensive mistakes led to four Warrior runs in the bottom of the third inning, and it scored again in the fifth to make it 5-0.
Meanwhile, Marcellus was hitting the ball well, but couldn't get on the board against Westhill ace Toni Secreti, and was running out of chances to enter the fray.
But in the top of the sixth, it began to turn around. Sophie Jackson singled and Marissa Bankey reached base. With both of them in scoring position, Caitlin Henderson singled, scoring Jackson and Bankey.
Still, the Mustangs were down 5-2 going to the top of the seventh, and Secreti was within two outs of victory when Marcellus caught up.
Becca Ryan's single got it started. Gina Cardarelli followed with a single, and both came home when Lyssa Filtch delivered a single of her own. Bankey then stepped up and, with her single, brought home the tying run.
Westhill still had a chance to win it in regulation, as it put two runners on base in the bottom of the seventh. Cardarelli got out of it, though, coaxing Brittany Kaiser to pop out to force extra innings.
In the eighth, a throwing error put Henderson on second base with nobody out. A ground ball moved Henderson to third, and when Jenne Rodolico looped a single just inside the line, Henderson raced home with the go-ahead run.
Down a run, Westhill still had a chance. Nicole Toth beat out a bunt single and, with two out, Shannon Flattery walked. Emily Mangicaro tried a bunt — but popped out, and Marcellus had won.
Now the Mustangs advanced to face no. 6 seed Homer in Saturday's B-1 semifinal, a team it had beaten 5-3 a week earlier.

Biochemists investigate the structure, function, and mechanisms of molecules found in nature, seeking to understand how these work in concert from bacteria to man. Understanding function at a molecular level not only provides us with insight about the underpinnings of life and its evolution, but allows us to directly tackle unsolved questions in human disease and improve the quality of life.

Summer of Sandwiches: Crave Treats and Coffee Ice Cream
A few weeks ago Grace of Crave Treats sent us a care package containing three packs of adorable, miniature cookies. Naturally we had to taste them all, and although they were lovely (even if the mint was a bit overpowering in the brownie mint), we immediately knew that they would be the perfect vehicle for ice cream. So the next day we purchased a pint of Häagen-Daz coffee ice cream and set about making mini-ice cream sandwiches.
Of the three cookie flavors - brownie mint, pb chip and mocha chip - our favorite was the mocha chip. The way the flavors blended with the ice cream caused a taste explosion in my mouth. To make your own mini-ice cream delights, you can order a dozen mini-cookies and have them shipped to your front door. A dozen will cost you $9 or you can get a combo pack for $24. Personally I want to try her PB+Jellyness cookies, I think they would be smashing with creme fraiche ice cream. What do you think? What flavors would you choose and what ice cream would you use?

Hi. I've had similar experiences with so-called 'employment agencies' giving me the runaround. Its a disgrace that they don't have the decency to spare a minute or 2 of their oh-so-precious time to send a brief email or make a quick phone call. Its called manners & respect. We know it, but sadly, they don't!. I've spent a fair chunk of time in agency offices registering & much of the time there seems to be an excessive amount of chit-chat, laughter & general 'carrying-on' going on. I'm no po-faced git but it doesn't exactly instil confidence in them!.
all the best to you.

Registration is tedious - involving filling out the plethora of forms which is the standard now for any recruitment agency.

I found the same thing. also the wages for the jobs advertised are about £2000 per year less than other agencies are advertising. I think that is due to them taking money from the wages of the candidate not the employer. Which is great for the employer who can afford the fee but not very good for us looking for work. Why don't companies just advertise on reed.co.uk which is free and is where SOS advertise and get our C.V's?

Notes: Barrett out until September
Notes: Barrett out until September
"He still has some reoccurring headaches," Black said. "I think it's doubtful that he's coming off the [disabled] list once the 15 days are up. We're just hoping he continues to improve and is eligible to play come September."
Barrett was put on the 15-day DL on Aug. 11 with concussion-like symptoms after being hit on the head by Reds shortstop Alex Gonzalez's shin. It was the second blow to the head Barrett received in a six-day period.
"As of now, he's getting better each day," Black said. "First of all, we got to get him healthy and stay that way.
"I'm not familiar with, obviously, concussion-type symptoms. These are just concerning through a personal side, let alone a baseball side."
Barrett received his first blow to the head as a foul ball hit his face mask on Aug. 5 when the Padres were playing against the Giants.
While he's unable to play, Barrett is spending time in the bullpen with the relievers, who have been keeping him company.
Barrett is one of the new faces in the Padres clubhouse this summer. He was acquired from the Cubs on June 20. Barrett is hitting .248 with 29 runs, 37 RBIs and nine home runs for the season.
Sense of urgency: The Padres have 40 games to go before the regular season ends. And with two straight losses to the visiting Astros, some are wondering if they are feeling antsy or even distressed about their current situation. San Diego is five games behind the Diamondbacks in the National League West standings. While they sit in second place in the division, the Padres also are tied for the lead in the NL Wild Card race.
"I think, well, there's still a quarter of a season left," Black said. "What lies ahead of us is for us to play good baseball. At this point, we still determine our own fate. There's still 40 games left on the schedule.
"This is a time where ... you can't afford to not play good baseball. And with that said, part of our strength for the first three quarters of the season has been our overall consistency of play."
Sure, the Padres were consistent in the beginning, but now they are turning streaky again on offense. They pulled out their first three-game series this week by scoring nine runs in the fifth inning in the rubber match to top the Rockies, 11-9. But now San Diego has dropped two in a row against Houston.
"We haven't lost four games in a row. We've shown great resiliency after a tough loss to bounce back and win," Black said. "We have shown a resolve during the first third of the season that will remain intact as we go forward through these last 40 games.
"Like I said last night, out goal is to win today and go to New York and win Tuesday and win way more often than we lose. And if that occurs, then I like our chances."
Peavy gone after 2009? Padres ace Jake Peavy told the San Diego Union-Tribune he may not be with the club after the 2009 season due to a franchise that seems unwilling to pay big money for one player. Peavy even told the newspaper the team may trade him before the expiration of his four-year contract is complete.
"I hope it's not the case, but I think it's inevitable that I'll wind up somewhere else. I am not looking to break the bank. I'm not saying I want a huge payday. I'm going to ask for what's fair. And although I hope it happens here, I just don't see the Padres spending that much on a player," Peavy told the San Diego Union-Tribune.
Peavy always is one to wear his emotions on his sleeve, including telling the newspaper he wasn't sure if the franchise really was making the right moves to try to win a World Series.
"I'm more concerned about the team making a conscious effort to win a world championship," Peavy told the newspaper. "At times I don't know if they've gone out on a limb to make it happen. I believe the big philosophy is right. But the first question I'd ask is, 'Can you give me your word that we're going to make an effort to win the World Series?'"
Peavy's four-year contract guarantees him $15 million, including $4.5 million this season, according to the UT.
Bradley close to ready: Left fielder Milton Bradley most likely will be in the lineup on Tuesday when the Padres open a three-game series against the Mets.
"Milton, he'll be ready to go Tuesday -- that's our tentative plan," Black said. "He'll be available today if the situation arises to pinch-hit. He's feeling much better, more confident in the hamstring and now it's coming along. He's really close."
Bradley strained his right hamstring on Aug. 2 against the Diamondbacks. He has played in only two games since his injury.
On deck: The Padres start their first contest of a three-game series against the Mets at Shea Stadium on Tuesday at 4:10 p.m. PT. Chris Young (9-4, 1.93 ERA) will get the start for San Diego. New York will counter with John Maine (13-7, 3.59 ERA).

After the sample has been collected and labeled, it is transported to the lab to be logged in. Depending on the test needed and where you have the sample drawn, your blood may be simply transported to the lab where the analysis is performed or transported to a lab that specializes in a particular blood analysis.
Once the specimen arrives in the lab, however near or far away, your blood sample will be logged into the laboratory's tracking system. The tube label contains all the information necessary to ensure that the sample is analyzed for the appropriate tests and the results are matched to your name. Usually, a written or electronic requisition form listing not only your information but also your health practitioner's name and address is sent with the sample so the results can be sent to the appropriate person.

Medtronic says it's eliminating 2,000 jobs from its global workforce, with a net 340 Minnesota positions being eliminated.
The announcement came as part of the medical device maker's fourth-quarter earnings call with investors.
The cuts fall primarily in Medtronic's cardiovascular and spine businesses and are part of a consolidation of manufacturing operations. The layoffs in those divisions are expected to save as much as $225 million a year.
Jeff Windau, a health care analyst with Edward Jones, said factors driving layoffs at Medtronic are not unique to the company. The whole medical device industry is suffering, he said.
"The usage has gone down, the volume has gone down in procedures. There's more pricing pressure in the industry that they have to take into account," Windau said.
Medtronic spokeswoman Cindy Resman said the company is eliminating 500 jobs in Minnesota. But she said other parts of the company are adding 160 jobs in the state.
"Some areas are growing, some are not, and these changes are related to aligning resource needs within areas of our company that are growing," Resman said. "I will emphasize that while we're pursuing changes in some, reductions in some, we're growing in others."
Resman said about two-thirds of the cuts have already taken place, including most of the layoffs in Minnesota. She said the rest of the cuts will be complete by May of next year.
The company also announced its fourth-quarter net income fell 2 percent to $969 million.

No sanctions to be imposed on Armenian employers for not charging pension fees until March 28
YEREVAN, March 13. /ARKA/. No sanctions will be used against Armenian employers who fail to charge funded pension scheme fees until March 28, Armenia's minister of labor and social affairs Artem Asatryan said at a government hour in the parliament Wednesday.
The minister also said the government has suspended the sanctions against citizens who had not selected their pension fund by January 1 2014.
On January 24 Armenia's Constitutional Court suspended Article 76 of the new pension law, which provides for penalties for failed or delayed pension tax payments, and the third paragraph of Article 86, which obligates employed citizens to choose a pension fund, among other parts of the law. The Court said it will conclude the inquiry on March 28, 2014.
The constitutionality of the law was challenged by three opposition parties in the National Assembly — the Armenian National Congress, the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, and the Heritage Party — along with the usually pro-government Prosperous Armenia Party.
The new pension system requires that all Armenian citizens born after 1973 pay social security taxes equivalent to 5 percent of their monthly wages, which will be matched and doubled by the government. That money has to be deposited with private pension funds licensed by the government late last December. –0--

If you've ever wondered exactly what 'free range' means, wanted to get in touch with the seasons, or show your children exactly where their food comes from, Mudgee Fine Foods have come up with a great idea to get people back to grass roots level.
On the Sunday morning that follows our third Saturday Farmers Markets join us on our guided farm walks, where you can get your hands dirty on a working farm.
From our great range of producers, two farms are chosen each month. Depending on the season, you may get to see olive oil production, free-range pork, locally grown vegetables,vineyards,a fig orchard, or a working winery. Check out our Farm Walks Calendar to see which farms will be participating when you are visiting.
Farm walk participants get to meet the farmer and hear how passionate they are about what they produce. According to the season, you will be shown various stages of their production. There will be lots of opportunities to talk to the farmer, ask questions, and get your 'hands dirty'.
Depending on the season, you may even get the chance to pick or collect produce, and taste really fresh food. There may also be the opportunity to purchase produce direct from the farm gate.
Not only does this give you a chance to experience a working farm, it is a nice way to get in touch with the seasonality of growing produce.
If you are a group travelling to Mudgee, or you are planning an interesting weekend with friends, Mudgee Fine Foods can run tailor made Farm Walks to suit your particular interests.Contact email@example.com
A testimonial from a Farm Walker…
"We had the most magnificent weather for Farm Walks on Sunday, two families, 9 people in total and 5 of them were teenagers. The kids loved getting down and dirty in the garden at Broombee just as much as the adults did and Clem and Vanessa were wonderful at Australian Gourmet Hazelnuts.The gentleman that booked brought his family up for the day form the mountains and emailed me when he got home to say they loved it and they'll be back in September or October."
• Farm Walks run on the Sunday morning that follows our third Saturday Farmers Markets.( This is mostly the third Sunday, but not always!)
• Tour tickets need to be purchased prior to the tours. They are available at the Information tent at the Farmers Markets on Saturday morning; they can be purchased up to 5pm on Saturday from the Mudgee Visitor Information Centre, 84 Market Street Mudgee or online from our website. If you are booking on-line after midday on Saturday, please call the Farm Walk Co-ordinator to confirm the walk is going ahead.
• Tickets are $10/person or $20/family. This ticket covers the 2 farms on the day. You are free to visit either or both farms on the day.
• Tours start from the Mudgee Visitor Information Centre, 84 Market Street, at 9.00am. Please make yourself known to the Tour Leader, and have your Farm Walk ticket with you. You will then 'follow the leader' to the participating farms. Participants need to get themselves to and from each farm in their own transport.
• Please wear covered shoes, no pets allowed, and be prepared to learn, enjoy yourself, and get some dirt on you!
• Tour duration times can vary according to distance travelled between farms, what there is to see and do at each farm, (and sometimes how long the farmer likes to chat!) but allow 3 to 31/2 hours.
• For more information, please contact email@example.com

NOBUNNY - (Set time: 11:30 PM)
"Nobunny is certainly hitting a chord that's turning ears all over into fuzzy, pink, and protruding embarrassments.... Like a pop machine spewing out a small rivulet of hits... Nobunny's ability to deliver blithesome songs with a maddened and frothy smile is simply brilliant. His bouncy and rollicking style conjures images of dirty bubbles rising over a landscape of unkempt, and insanely catchy hooks that will have the stuffiest of the arm folding camp dancing and acting like idiots within the first couple of chords."

TV Ghost - (Set time: 10:30 PM)
From in the Red who's just issued their debut album: "Lafayette, Indiana, creepers TV Ghost-- a band who ushers in a vile and squalid new disposition to ugly art punk and carves out a black hole of pestilence that will delight its sufferers to no end. If one can swim through the murky grime long enough to let one's frazzled senses adjust, it's clear how effectively TV Ghost incorporates the licentious nuances of the Cramps' earliest scuzz, no wave's cacophony, and Suicides terrifying throb alongside cavernous bellows from the depths oft the third layer of hell."

Our homegrown singing sensation Sophie May Williams will perform with mentor Will.i.am in the semi finals of The Voice UK on Saturday.
The teenager will go head to head with Jermain Jackman after she won the public over with her version of Van Morrison's Moondance last weekend.
Sophie will also perform a solo song as she tries to persuade viewers to vote for her again and send her through to the grand final.
Four acts - one from each team - will be put through. Each artist will sing a solo song and a group number with their mentor the other team member.
Sophie said: "I've been really nervous on the previous shows but I didn't have time to think about it on Saturday so I just enjoyed it so much, even though it was the first live round. I am very excited about being through to the semi finals - Jermain is absolutely incredible but I will do my best, that's all I can do. I'd like to thank everyone who voted for me and I am just so grateful to even be here."
The Outwood Grange Academy student, from Wrenthorpe, had to go through to the public vote after missing out on a 'fast pass' to the next round, which Will.i.am awarded to fellow Team Will contestant Jermain.
Earlier in the show, judges had praised Sophie's performance.
Fellow judge Kylie Minogue said: "You have a natural elegance, it was beautiful."
Will.i.am said: "Every note you hit was perfect."
Sir Tom Jones said: "She just made it her own. You're a lot prettier than Van Morrison. You look marvellous, you look like a model."
Finally, Kaiser Chiefs Ricky Wilson said: "I am looking forward to hearing you sing again in the semi finals. You are going to make the kind of record that I am going to buy."
And other viewers took to Twitter to congratulate Sophie.
Arriva Yorkshire said: "Yey @sophiemaymusic is through, go get 'em girl. Proud of our #Wakefield lass!"
Mick Amos said: "Yet again raising the bar @sophiemaymusic and doing #wakefield proud! @iamwill come visit her hometown and I'll buy you some new glasses #glassface."
Watch The Voice on BBC1 from 7pm on Saturday. The results will be revealed on our website www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk and you can follow the live action on our Twitter feed @WakeExpress

This shiny owl brooch/pin is from the 1960's is in mint condition and is a favorite collectible made by Avon. Called the Jeweled Owl Pin in catalogs, it is featured on page 48 in the book "Vintage & Contemporary Purse Accessories Id. & Value Guide" by Roselyn Gerson, on page 151 of "Identifying AVON Jewelry" by Sandra Studivant, and on page 141 in "A Collector's Guide To Costume Jewelry" by Judith Miller...quite a famous piece! The glossy hooter locket compartment is designed to hold Avon solid (glace) perfumes, also known as a "fragrance pot", but could also hold pictures or tiny keepsakes. It is a bright, shiny gold tone with an articulated tummy, a very tight, "secret" hinged door in perfect working order that opens to reveal the perfume compartment. He has been packed away all these years, and is in fabulous, like brand new condition. The perfume glace is still in place, and may have never been used, as it still has a plastic disc cover and is wonderfully fragrant--amazing after all these years! It is marked Avon Topaz on the back of the removable glace container, which has a few spots of wear, but none on the owl itself. It can be removed if you prefer to place pictures or small keepsakes in the locket part. The beautiful, sparkling deep emerald green bezel set rhinestone eyes are very dimensional, and the textured feathers are nicely detailed. This marvelous bird is 2 and ¼ inches tall and 1 and ¼ inches wide, sturdy and very well made. The pin is vertical, so it could be used with a chain as a pendant as well. Still in its original box, which has spots of wear around the edges of the top piece. A hard to find item in this original condition.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Crown Jewel Club, El Segundo, CA, USA
The Crown Jewel Club is a wonderful organization that makes you feel happy the minute you walk in. Not only are they building the young girls self-esteme and self confidence at such a young age, but they are truly making a community for the girls to feel part of for a lifetime. After only spending a little time with the organization, I could already tell that the love the organization had for the girls was genuine and the girls were truly empowered for life.
