GM says deceleration fuel cutoff in Cruze increases fuel economy by up to 2%
24 June 2011
The deceleration fuel cutoff (DFCO) technology applied in the Chevrolet Cruze increases the car's fuel economy by up to 2%, depending upon specific driving conditions and behavior, GM said.
With DFCO, while the vehicle is decelerating or slowing down, fuel is automatically shut off to the Cruze's Ecotec engine. When the driver accelerates, the fuel automatically begins flowing again and the vehicle accelerates as the driver commands.
On a single tank of fuel, DFCO technology contributes more than 17 miles of the overall range on the Cruze Eco model and more than 11 miles of range on the non-Eco Cruze models.
The Cruze is packed with fuel-saving technologies. These types of cost-effective technologies allow Chevrolet to offer customers a vehicle that achieves hybrid-like efficiency without the cost of the hybrid technology.—Kai Loos, the development systems manager for the Cruze's 1.4-liter turbocharged engine
DFCO is enabled when the driver's foot is off the accelerator pedal and the vehicle is coasting. Through integration of engine and transmission controls, the engine speed is carefully controlled under these deceleration conditions. Fuel automatically begins flowing back to the engine when the driver accelerates or when the engine speed approaches idle conditions.
This technology is on Cruze models with both automatic and manual transmissions.
Chevrolet recently announced that for 2012, Cruze models with the 1.4L turbo and six-speed automatic transmission will get 2 mpg better fuel economy. The Cruze Eco with an automatic transmission will deliver as much as 39 mpg on the highway compared with 37 mpg for the 2011 model. Cruze Eco with the standard six-speed manual transmission remains the most fuel-efficient gas-powered/non-hybrid vehicle in America, with an EPA-rated 42 mpg on the highway.

A 1998 Expedition (not what you would call an economy car) will disengage the torque converter clutch when the throttle is closed, to decrease drag -to coast better.
AND fuel is shutoff, when the throttle is closed, but only when speed is actually INcreasing (i.e. downhill).
We determined this with a Scangage-II.
More aggressive fuel shutoff brings some risk of barely noticable "drivability" issues.
Except for the very real risk of such barely noticeable irregularity, this is a really simple function and I believe in widespread use well before 1008.

MIAMI — As a reward for their latest victory, the Dominicans get a World Baseball Classic rematch against the team that eliminated them in 2009.
Wandy Rodriguez pitched six innings, and three relievers completed a three-hitter to help the unbeaten Dominican Republic top Puerto Rico 2-0 on Saturday.
Both teams had already qualified for the semifinals in San Francisco, and the game merely determined seedings. Puerto Rico plays two-time defending champion Japan tonight, and the Dominicans face the Netherlands on Monday night, with the winners advancing to the championship game Tuesday.
The Dominicans were eliminated from the 2009 WBC when they lost twice to the Netherlands in a stunning first-round upset.
"We're not thinking of the past; we're thinking of the present," Dominican manager Tony Pena said. "They're going to be tough. We're going to be tough also."
Puerto Rico will face Japan for the first time.
MORE DISAPPOINTMENT: A day after this latest U.S. team again failed to reach the championship game, there was plenty of talk around the sport about what Friday night's 4-3 loss to Puerto Rico meant.
Some wondered whether the United States should put together an even more packed roster next time. Others say the U.S. has lost its hold on the game it invented. Many suggest the format of the tournament needs to be tweaked.
"It was a bit of an upset," said Milwaukee infielder Taylor Green, who played for Canada in the WBC. "Both teams were good. But with one game in baseball, you just never know. It might have been different if it had been in the regular season."
For Team USA, it was a semi-familiar result – the club didn't reach the semifinals for the initial World Baseball Classic in 2006, then lost to Japan in the 2009 semis.
Netherlands manager Hensley Meulens, with his unlikely semifinal club, figures attendance at AT&T Park for the last two rounds might take a hit without the Americans. He is thrilled to see baseball's continued growth worldwide, yet still considers the Americans the best team in the world despite their absence in this event again.
"I think it's gotten to where Major League Baseball again is globalizing the game and you can't tell who is going to be in the finals. The better teams who play better are going to be here," Meulens said Saturday in San Francisco. "Teams have played better than the United States has played, no knock against them. But that's the beauty of having competition within countries. To say they should be here? Maybe yes, but at this point they're not.
"The branching out of the MLB program to go overseas and then bring them back here to play tournaments like this, anybody can win," Meulens said.
Nationals pitcher Ross Detwiler was back at spring camp Saturday, having pitched well earlier in the WBC.
"It was kind of cool getting my first-ever save, but it wasn't enough to get to the championship round and that was the ultimate goal," he said.
Vogelsong, the winning pitcher in Game 3 of the World Series last October, dismissed talk that his U.S. teammates treat these matchups merely as an extension of spring training.
"These games are intense. They mean a lot. There's a lot of pride at stake. Being in the postseason and being here is very similar. It's quite honestly the same. For people to think this is just an exhibition, that's just false."
Plus, the U.S. team had beaten Puerto Rico 7-1 three days earlier behind Gio Gonzalez.
It piques some fans that many top names were not on the roster. Justin Verlander, David Price and Jered Weaver were among the best pitchers absent, while Mike Trout, Buster Posey and Josh Hamilton weren't in the lineup.
That's led many fans to say the timing of the tourney should be changed to somehow make it convenient for every star to take part.
But, the U.S. lineup against Figueroa featured three former MVPs <0x2014> Mauer, Braun and Jimmy Rollins. The lone player in the starting nine who wasn't an All-Star was Kansas City first baseman Eric Hosmer.
Hosmer grounded out with the bases loaded to end the eighth. Royals manager Ned Yost was glad Hosmer and other young players got to participate in the tournament.
"It gives them a chance to experience a high level of competition that you can't get in a spring training or regular-season game," Yost said.
Hosmer was a late replacement for Yankees star Mark Teixeira, who injured his wrist swinging a weighted bat. Mets third baseman David Wright also pulled out with a strain in his rib cage.
Despite worries about injuries in the WBC, what happened to Teixeira and Wright could've happened as easily in camp with their New York teams.
Instead, the final defeat had more to do with Figueroa.
The 38-year-old righty is 20-35 for six major league teams, and is currently in camp with Arizona on a minor league contract for his 19th pro season. He's pitched in Mexico, Venezuela, Taiwan, the Dominican and Puerto Rico, has played in independent ball and has spent plenty of time on the waiver wire.
Figueroa's last big league season was 2011, when he had an 8.69 ERA in a brief stint with Houston. He played last season in the minors with the Boston and Yankees systems.
Yet for one night at Marlins Park, he was virtually untouchable, pitching two-hit ball for six scoreless innings. Until this win, his best game had been a four-hit shutout for the Mets on the final day of the 2009 season.
Funny thing, too, about that shutout Figueroa threw against Houston at Citi Field. The final out was a flyball caught by Angel Pagan – it was Pagan who also gathered in Jimmy Rollins' fly for the last out Friday to seal a win Figueroa will cherish forever.

Strategic Trade Policies in the U.S. Orange Juice Market: Competition between Florida and São Paulo
The U.S. frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ) market is dominated by a small number of processors in Florida and São Paulo (Brazil), while the European FCOJ market is dominated by São Paulo FCOJ processors. Both the U.S. and European governments impose a tariff on FCOJ imports. We develop a strategic trade model to analyze the oligopolistic competition between Florida and São Paulo processors in the U.S. FCOJ market and São Paulo processors in the European FCOJ market. We analyze the effect of a change in the U.S. and European tariff on FCOJ sales and welfare. The analytical results show that a reduction in the U.S. tariff increases São Paulo's exports to the United States while decreasing their exports to Europe, which causes a decrease in Florida's sales in the United States. The results of a reduction in the European tariff indicate that São Paulo diverts its exports from the United Sates to Europe, which augments Florida's sales in the United States. Based on the strategic trade model, the structural empirical model is derived and the New Empirical Industrial Organization literature is implemented to estimate the econometric model and compute the market power of Florida and São Paulo producers. The Lerner Index calculation suggests that both Florida and São Paulo processors exert market power, but São Paulo have a higher markup over their marginal costs because of lower input costs. The parameterized model is used to simulate a 25% reduction in both the U.S. and European tariffs. A 25% reduction in the U.S. tariff results in an 8% decrease in Florida's market share and a 27% increase in São Paulo's market share in the U.S. FCOJ market. While a 25% reduction in the European tariff causes Florida's U.S. market share to increase by 2% and São Paulo's U.S. market share to reduce by 6%. The simulation results are consistent with the analytical results.

Community Pharmacies to replace defunct Waldoboro drugstore
Waldoboro — Barely two and a half weeks after Waltz Pharmacy shut its doors, another Maine company is stepping up to fill both prescriptions and the pharmacy's historic 5 Friendship St. location.
According to Waldoboro Planning and Development Director Bill Najpauer, Augusta-based Community Pharmacies is still applying for the requisite licenses, but anticipates opening its doors as soon as January 2013.
"Waldoboro is ecstatic that we have a local Maine pharmacy to replace Waltz Pharmacy," Najpauer said.
Community Pharmacies President and CEO Joe Bruno said that the decision to acquire the former Waltz Pharmacies location was made following meetings with Waldoboro officials and Waltz employees.
"It's just such a good fit for community pharmacies and our philosophy," Bruno said.
Bruno added that all former Waltz employees that have demonstrated interest are being interviewed for positions at the new Waldoboro branch of Community Pharmacies. Onetime Waltz Pharmacy owner Ted Wooster has been retained as a part-time pharmacist.
"We can't hire them all back on at once," Bruno said, "but over time I'd like to think we can we hire them all back."
Courier Publications reporter Bane Okholm can be reached at 594-4401 ext. 125 or by email at email@example.com.
Walts pharmacy was not defunct,it was let down by the government.
Thank goodness for downtown Waldoboro, the Waldoboro residents and the residents of the Sproul Block. tag, resident of N.Waldoboro

If Maks can be on his best behavior, hopefully the judges can return the favor. Melissa seemed nervous tonight and I definitely think that affected her performance a little, but overall, I was more impressed with her cha cha content than some of the others. At least she was moving and not standing in one spot or having her pro dance around her. I'm thinking it was a compliment when the judges said it was a difficult routine. Maks must not have been kidding when he said he thought she could hold her own. I thought she deserved at least the same score as Maria, who I was a bit let down by. Hoping for Melissa to come more out of her shell and to nail the quickstep next week. I gave these two all my votes tonight.
I especially loved Maks baring his chest week 1 and not making some of us wait for it

Xin Zhao Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Chapter 1
Whenever Jarvan III, the king of Demacia, delivers one of his rallying speeches from the glinting marble balcony atop the Royal Palace, Xin Zhao is at his side. Coined the Seneschal of Demacia, Xin Zhao is the personal steward of the Lightshield Dynasty. His enigmatic, silent vigil has led to an abundance of conjecture concerning his "secret life" and origins. Whether it's "Zaun double-agent" tendered at the dinner table or "indebted rune mage" mused in the editorials of the Demacian Constant, Xin Zhao betrays no hints to sate the curiosity of the masses…for good reason.
Prior to the formation of the League, Noxus was renowned for a spectacle called The Fleshing. It was a gladiatorial event with a cruel twist: as a fighter won matches, his number of opponents (generally prisoners of war) fought simultaneously would increase. This meant eventual death for every contender, but with unparalleled glory. Xin Zhao, known then as Viscero, was slated to face 300 soldiers, nearly six times the previous record. This was clearly meant to be his final match. Jarvan II, hearing of this unprecedented feat, infiltrated the arena to offer him an alternative: serve Demacia and punish those who ultimately sentenced him to death in exchange for his freedom. Xin Zhao accepted, astonished that a king would risk his own life on his behalf. Under the cover of a prearranged Demacian assault on Noxus, Jarvan liberated Xin Zhao and his 300 opponents. During their retreat, Xin Zhao took a poisoned dart meant for Jarvan. This act of loyalty, from a man who vowed no allegiance, earned Xin Zhao a spot at his side until the day the king died. Now in the service of his son, Jarvan III, Xin Zhao is stepping into a new ring – the Fields of Justice – to fight for his adopted country and to honor the legacy of the man who gave purpose to his life.

Xin Zhao is a tanky damage dealer that excels in disrupting targets and dealing a huge amount of damage. He is an exceptional duelist and assassin, jumping into the back of the fight to destroy the enemy team's carry. He is fairly versatile, as he can jungle or solo top pretty effectively. This guide focuses on a solo top build to show Xin Zhao's true strength as a duelist. I hope you enjoy my guide. Let's go!
Back to Table of Contents
Xin Zhao's kit was built to be a duelist. The knockup from Three Talon Strike combined with the attack speed and cooldown reduction from Battle Cry makes a very scary combination, locking down your target with constant damage and frequent CC. His early game damage is high when everyone else's armor is low and Challenge is a great way to sustain in the laning phase. If played smartly and correctly, you will secure yourself kills and carry into late game as one of the most feared fighters in the game!
- High damage
- Frequent CC
- Attack speed buff and cooldown reduction
- Natural sustain with passive
- He's a man
- As swift as a coursing river
- Contains the force of a great typhoon
- His strength is greater than that of a raging fire
- Mysterious as the dark side of the moon...
- Easily kited
- Susceptible to CC
- No escape
Back to Table of Contents
Tireless Warrior
What a great passive. Sustain in lane works well with Xin Zhao, because if you don't kill your target the first time, you can heal up and go for the kill again. At level 18, your passive heals for 70 every three auto-attacks. Not a bad amount for free, huh? TIP: This passive also works while hitting towers. If you're concerned about being low health while attacking a tower, know that you have a bit of a cushion thanks to this passive.
Three Talon Strike
Xin Zhao prepares to unleash a fearsome combo, causing his next 3 standard attacks to deal 15/30/45/60/75 (+1.0) physical damage, with the final attack knocking his opponent into the air.
This spell is your baby, your everything on Xin Zhao. Think of it as an autoattack that gets an AD steroid and knocks up the target after a few hits. It's great early game as it deals much more damage than the enemy believes and awesome late game because it gives a 75 AD steroid (basically a free Infinity Edge) for three auto-attacks every few seconds. TIP: Activating this ability will reset Xin Zhao's attack timer. To deal a maximum amount of damage to a target, auto-attack and then activate Three Talon Strike directly after to get in two quick attacks.
I max this first because it is the most effective way to increase Xin Zhao's damage naturally.
Battle Cry
(Passive): Increases Xin Zhao's attack speed by 20/25/30/35/40%.
(Active): Xin Zhao unleashes a battle cry, doubling the passive bonus for 5 seconds, and causing his standard attacks to reduce all other ability cooldowns by 1 second.
Whoah baby, that's a big attack speed buff! The passive attack speed is nice and all, but we're looking at the active portion of this spell. At max level, an 80% attack speed buff is HUGE. And to add on to that, you get free cooldown reduction while the spell is active. This, combined with Three Talon Strike is what makes you such a great duelist. Using the two spells in conjunction will allow you to deal a lot of damage and knock up the target multiple times in a single fight. TIP: If your ultimate is on cooldown, using this spell frequently and auto-attacking minions can bring it off cooldown rather quickly.
I max this second because it works so well with Three Talon Strike and increased attack speed = more damage.
Audacious Charge
Xin Zhao charges an enemy unit, dealing 70/110/150/190/230 (+0.4) magic damage to all nearby enemies and slowing them by 20/25/30/35/40% for 1.5 seconds.
Dash, damage, slow. Not bad. This ability allows you to initiate fights, dive to the back of the enemy team to pick off their carry, or just chase. TIP: Remember that this ability slows in an AOE. When chasing an enemy that you can't quite reach, dash to a minion that is nearby the enemy to slow them and get you in range for your usual combo.
I grab a point early in this spell (but max it last) to start harassing the enemy and also to start fights when I know I can kill the target.
Crescent Sweep
Xin Zhao unleashes a fierce spear sweep on targets around him, dealing 125/225/325 plus 15% of their current health in physical damage. For 6 seconds, his Magic Resistance and Armor are increased by 25 plus 7/10/13 for each champion hit.
Xin Zhao's ultimate. It deals a huge amount of damage with a flat amount and a percentage of the enemy's current health stacked on top of that. Also, it gives free tankiness with a flat 25 armor and magic resistance increase and added tankiness for every enemy that you hit with the spell. At max level in a teamfight, this spell has the potential to deal huge AOE damage to the entire enemy team and also give you a cool +90 armor and magic resistance. That's essentially two free top-tier tank items. You read that right. Now roll your tongue back up into your mouth and wipe the drool off the floor, we have more of the guide to go through.

Greater Mark of Desolation: Whoever you solo top against is going to have armor. These runes allow you to hit through that armor. The less armor they have, the more damage you do to them.
Greater Seal of Armor: Tankiness. You want it. Early game is where AD champions are going to hurt you the most and you're most likely going to be going against a bruiser up top. These will reduce damage taken from harass and help you in early game fights.
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist: More tankiness. Why not? You already have armor, so these runes give you scaling magic resist to help you through mid-game where mages will hurt you the most.
Greater Quintessence of Desolation: These, combined with your Greater Mark of Desolation runes and masteries, give you 31 + 10% armor penetration at level 1. To put that into perspective, Rammus has a base armor value of 21. You would be hitting true damage on a tank who is known for high armor values. Yeah...

A 21/9/0 build that focuses on high damage output with some early game tankiness.

- Improved Exhaust, Ignite, Surge, Ghost

Your core item build is:
This particular build sequence gives you takniness, damage, and attack speed, all of which are fairly standard on solo top tanky DPS champions. Mercury's Treads help the issue of Xin Zhao being susceptible to CC. Wriggle's Lantern and Atma's Impaler add a decent amount of damage and armor while Phage adds health and utility to make you into a more beefy fighter. Wit's End comes in next to add some much needed attack speed and that magic resistance that you want oh so badly.
If the game isn't already over, you transition into your late game build which adds tankiness, damage, and a little more utility.
After your core build, you want to start working on The Black Cleaver. This item works exceptionally well on Xin Zhao because each successive attack from Three Talon Strike will shred armor and therefore hit harder. All that's left then is to finish your Frozen Mallet for some extra health (and damage thanks to Atma's Impaler) and the ability to lock down a champion with the constant applied slow.
You have damage. You have tankiness. You have... uh... a spear. Get work done!
Back to Table of Contents
Trinity Force: I've used this item from time to time on Xin Zhao. Maybe you wanna turn that Phage into something else other than a Frozen Mallet? That's ok, Trinity Force is here for you. The Sheen proc adds extra damage to Three Talon Strike and the added attack speed/move speed/critical strike chance from Zeal is always useful on melee fighters. I don't grab this very often unless I'm getting fed and have the gold to buy such an expensive item.
Randuin's Omen: Oh what a beautiful item. Pretty much everything you could ever want on a champion like Xin Zhao. If the game goes on long enough for you to sell Wriggle's Lantern, then I would suggest doing so and buying Randuin's Omen.
Hexdrinker: Facing a Mordekaiser or Swain up top? Maybe there is Karthus mid? Hexdrinker can save your life in low health situations. The added damage is a plus, of course.
Youmuu's Ghostblade: Damage, critical strike chance, armor pen, cooldown reduction, and an attack speed and move speed active. Wow, that's a lot of things that sound useful on Xin Zhao, right? They are, but they don't quite fit into my build. If you want to buy this, I suggest replacing it for The Black Cleaver.
Last Whisper: Damage and 40% armor penetration. Wow, that's a lot! Build this against tanky teams that are building a lot of armor. Replace this for The Black Cleaver, losing some attack speed but more overall damage in the long run.
Ninja Tabi: These boots are extremely useful against AD heavy teams. They give you armor and a sweet 10% reduced damage from non-turret based auto-attacks.
Back to Table of Contents
Solo top champions focus on farming early and killing later. Early game you want to last hit minions, possibly using Three Talon Strike to make sure you get the last hit. Harassing the enemy champion can be useful, forcing them to base while you continue to farm. Challenge will keep you in lane to outfarm the enemy champion, but don't push your luck.
When your jungler is ganking, initiate with Audacious Charge and help lock the enemy down with Three Talon Strike for a successful gank.
Late game, you want to teamfight with your allies by either initiating with Audacious Charge and Crescent Sweep for massive damage, or waiting for your tank to initiate so you can dive in on their carries and destroy them.
Played correctly, Xin Zhao can absolutely dominate, carrying his team on his big, broad, Asian shoulders

Tireless Warrior (Innate): Xin Zhao is healed for every 3 attacks that he lands. This amount increases every 2 levels.

Cinkciarz.pl advanced to 17th place on the 'List 2000' – a ranking from the daily newspaper, Rzeczpospolita
Cinkciarz.pl's position on the list of the 2000 largest companies in Poland is a result of reaching 11.1 billion PLN of sales income. The company took 17th position, leaving behind the likes of Energa SA GK, BP Europa SE and Grupa Azoty SA GK.
According to the data presented by Rzeczpospolita in 2015, the companies included in the ranking acquired a collective income of 1.84 trillion PLN. This is 3.8 percent more than in 2014, in which this amount was 1.77 trillion PLN. As the newspaper points out, the largest contribution was made by the retail trade companies.
The first three places of the rank have remained unchanged since 2014. The highest position was taken by PKN Orlen. Second place went to Jeronimo Martins Polska, owner of the Biedronka chain of stores. The third place was took by the state owned company, PGNiG. In the recently published ranking List 2000, Cinkciarz.pl was ranked 17th, leaving behind the likes of Energa SA GK, BP Europa SE and Grupa Azoty SA GK.
- Cinkciarz.pl created the new segment of the financial services in Poland. We gained valuable experience by implementing those solutions in the European markets, and now it is time to promote them in the United States. Conotoxia, Inc., a company from the Cinkciarz.pl group has just acquired its first license in the USA, thanks to which it can offer money transfer services in the State of Missouri. This is a moment of great importance for the whole group. We are certain that soon more US citizens will be able to use the company's servicers – announced Piotr Kicinski, the vice-president of Cinkciarz.pl.
The 'List 2000' was put together based on the data gathered by the editorial office of Rzeczpospolita. The survey, asking companies for the financial information, was sent out to over 6 thousand companies with at least 100 mln PLN of income in 2014. – What draws attention is the advance of the online currency exchange company Cinkciarz.pl. In 2015 it showed over 11.1 billion PLN of income, what resulted in an advance from last year's 26th place to 17th place. Given the large fluctuations on the currency market, the company surely can't complain on the lack of interest from the customers – emphasized the authors of the rank.
This edition of ranking complies 1054 Polish private companies, which makes up for over 52 percent of all companies included in the rank. It is worth emphasizing that Cinkciarz.pl is a private company with only Polish capital. The company is the pioneer of the online currency exchange and at the same time one of the fastest developing financial companies in Europe. As a part of the ground-breaking project of building Artificial Intelligence, the company entered into collaboration with renowned companies like NVIDIA and reputable, international academic centres. The Research and Development Facility founded by the company will create at least 500 jobs.
Cinkciarz.pl is one of three companies from Lubusz Voivodeship which were included in the Rzeczpospolita's list.

George Ford absence puts Danny Cipriani on red alert for England
Injury list grows before tour to New Zealand
England's troubled build-up to the first international against the All Blacks in Auckland on June 7 has been hit by further trouble, with George Ford due to withdraw from the tour requiring shoulder surgery. From deep in England's past, Danny Cipriani suddenly looms as their immediate future.
Ford's shoulder is not so bad that he cannot play for Bath against Northampton in the Amlin Challenge Cup final tomorrow. Last night, he received the Rugby Players' Association's Young Player of the Year award and managed to describe himself as "possibly the fittest I have ever felt". Yet the shoulder is not deemed strong enough for the match against New Zealand 15 days later.
England fans may find that decision a little hard to come to terms…

The Register
Atwood — Lunchtime conversation at Sacred Heart Parish included giggles, claps and several "God is good," chants back and forth.
Totus Tuus, the annual summer catechetical program offered by the Diocesan Office of Youth Ministry, kicked off June 5 in Atwood and across the diocese.
Children invited members of Team 2: seminarian Bob Schroeder, Matea Gregg, Michaela Sasse and Joshua Caasi to sit by them and share what they learned during morning sessions.
"Bob is the best teacher," exclaimed 8-year-old Savannah Warning as she flashed the seminarian a smile across the table.
Her tablemate, Payton Juenemann, agreed. "We've learned a lot about the Glorious Mysteries," she said.
Savannah and Payton, who will enter third grade in the fall, with the help of team leader Schroeder named the first, second and third mysteries. The fourth and fifth mysteries were learned in the next couple of days.
The Totus Tuus team conducting the Atwood session introduced themselves after Mass June 5. They relaxed and prepared for the five day "vacation Bible school" that evening, after being scheduled to host Sacred Heart junior high students.
Totus Tuus teachers instruct kindergarten through sixth graders from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.
"Wednesday and Thursday evenings are scheduled for high schoolers," Schroeder said.

Have you seen the free clothes patterns at American Girl Playthings? These patterns were originally published by American Girl for their 18" dolls, but now they are available online for free!! I used to dream that my grandmother would buy these very pattern sets and sew my doll up an entire wardrobe of fun things. Some of the patterns are a little dated which is great if you want historically accurate clothes. However, there is also at least one piece in each set that can be passed off as a modern day piece with the right material and possibly a little tweaking. Check them out here, and have fun!

rhythmic effect in poetry
It has been noted that four feet make up a line of tetrameter verse. A line consisting of one foot is called monometer, of two dimeter, of three trimeter, of five pentameter, of six hexameter, and of seven heptameter. Lines containing more than seven feet rarely occur in English poetry.


text: The beginning of November marks another month closer to the winter season, which is reflected in the air growing cooler and the branches of trees growing more bare. While we love rainy weather, the hibernating sunshine means you may be spending more time in your humble abode than you have so far this year. Combat cabin fever by finding solace in your space. Spend some quality time with a new recipe in your kitchen or spruce up your space with some pretty new decor. You don't have to look too far outside your own bedroom for inspiration.

DayZ creator on The War Z fiasco: 'I've been pretty depressed'
DayZ creator Dean "Rocket" Hall has been pretty "depressed" about the recent controversy surrounding the release of The War Z on Steam earlier this week. Shortly after The War Z — which many accused as being a rip off of Hall's work — was released, it came under fire when it was realized that several of the game's promised features on the Steam page description were not in the game. Hammerpoint Interactive quickly edited the page and apologized for fans' "misreading" it, but the damage had already been done. From there, The War Z continued to draw sharp criticism until Steam stepped in and removed it from its new release list.
You'd think a man whose idea was used for great inspiration, if not blatantly copied, would take joy in the recent events. After all, it is a competitor to his upcoming standalone DayZ. As it turns out, the fiasco has done just the opposite, sending Hall into a reclusive mindset.
"I've been pretty depressed about the whole situation. From a personal standpoint, this whole "saga" of the development made me seriously question if I wanted to be involved in the industry and I gave serious thought to cutting my losses and not being involved in the project," Hall said on Reddit today.
"I've been getting hammered by a massive amount with requests for information about DayZ release, interviews and my reactions to this and stuff and such - but for my own sanity I retreated and have kept to myself," he explained. "Right now I'm just at home doing bits and pieces on the DayZ development. The rest of the DayZ team is doing the same."
"I realize that I went back on my word about releasing an update, but went back into my shell for a bit last week, and I'll come out when the dust is all settled," Hall concluded.
The community of fans on Reddit have been pretty supportive of Hall for the most part. They've encouraged him and the team to take the necessary time needed to ensure a finished product. I think that's all you can really ask for from him.

Breast Implants are suitable for women who perceive their breasts as being too small, either because their breast tissue hasn't fully developed, or as a result of the loss of breast tissue that often occurs after pregnancy and breast-feeding.
Small breasts may also be due to massive weight loss. If breast sagging accompanies small breast volume, breast lift operation called Mastopexy may be required. Breast implants and breast lift can be performed together or separately.
In addition, post-mastectomy breast reconstruction is also performed to correct the deformity resulting from the removal of a breast, e.g. for cancer.
This operation is very successful and has helped many women attain a better figure, which in turn has made an important psychological contribution to their feelings of femininity, confidence, general sense of well-being and happiness.
With almost 27 years of practice in Australia, the USA and Europe, Dr Jassim Daood is one of Australia's most experienced and trusted cosmetic surgeon.
Dr Daood is a trusted professional and one of Australia's leading surgeons, specialising in Breast Augmentation, Breast lift, Breast Reduction and Liposuction as well as all other cosmetic procedures. His perfectionist approach is evident in his patients' results, and ever praising testimonials.
He is a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (Edinburgh / United Kingdom) and member of Fellow of the European Academy of Cosmetic Surgeons.
Fat removal by liposuction is one of the most exciting and effective treatments of modern cosmetic surgery. It is an excellent technique that produces very favourable results – it can also be judiciously employed with other procedures to enhance their effects.
However, we must have realistic expectations and remember that your final result will benefit from good eating habits and exercise.

Quest gets its share of external visitors wanting to check out the church and the cafe. They're mostly local (the Pacific Northwest) but at times, folks are actually silly enough to spend money to fly into Seattle. Although, I need to be honest here. Quest is usually an 'add-on' to peoples' church visitation agenda. People fly to Seattle to usually visit Mars Hill or a few other known commodities. I hate being a jerk but the visits take so much time and energy, we usually say, 'Sorry.' We occasionally do meet with folks – churchplanters, pastors, cafe starters, reporters, authors, etc. – and they usually fish from the same pool of questions. One prominent question in some form or another is: "What's been the most significant highlight in your ministry this past year(s)?"
And so, by now, you'd figure I'd have some nice prepared answers but I really don't. People ask so I share a little about the church growth (we're still a fairly 'small church'), the non-profit cafe, the live music venue, the likely merger with another church, a nice recent 'portrait' in the Seattle Times, and these are all good things to talk about and share. But at the end of the day, the things I remember most as highlights all deal with PEOPLE. My favorite story – and it's so random – is a story [this past year] of a young man and woman at Quest. They don't even know this and I don't think I've shared it with anyone but this incident sticks out to me as one of the most memorable moments since planting Quest. Long story short: I get a phone call one night and this young woman is flowing with joy and excitement. Her boyfriend had just proposed to her. And after sharing with their parents, they chose to call my wife and me to share the good news. We were so moved; so humbled; so privileged and blessed that they would call to share this news with us. I would say that this is one of the most significant moments of my personal ministry.
And this all leads to the joy and struggle of my personal season in ministry. The church = people. Not buildings, not programs, not creeds, not strategic planning, not multi-sites, not CCM songs, not conferences, not emergent language, not blogs, etc. But as a church grows, balance becomes an increasing issue. As much as I know these things, I also know (in our context, culture, and model we've chosen with Quest), the element of organizational structure is as important as organic fluidity. Structure does not entail death to Spirit. At least, it doesn't have to. And yet, I find myself engaging areas that I once used to vehemently criticize. I find myself behind my desk and computer way more than I want to. I find myself as glued to my outlook calendar as to the rhythm reading at church. I find myself needing to embrace another aspect of my 'job description' as a spokesperson for the church to the larger community. I find myself having to actually determine and communicate an 'end time' to my appointments as to guard my schedule and physical/emotional exhaustion. I find myself having to email folks to say, "I'll email you back in the next two weeks" so as to find time to write something substantive rather than my infamous 3 line haiku responses.
I was naive six years ago. I was idealistic. Idealism is good and honestly, I never want to relinquish that. But I'm going through this season where my idealism is confronted by 'realities.'
As I shared earlier, I'm learning about this 'balance' and learning about what it means to equip, empower, and trust those around me. At Quest, we've been blessed by the presence of those who invest in the larger mission of the church – but particularly, our members, community group leaders, ministry leaders, and pastors and elders. While I love the opportunities to DO LIFE with all that call Quest their church, I've come to terms that I can't be the personal pastor to each and every single person. And for that reason, I've shared with our church community that the past couple years have been a time of both rejoicing and grieving. Rejoicing because God is working. Greiving because at times, it's very uncomfortable.
I'm learning to embrace my morphing identity – not only to be a pastor to this church but a pastor, in a sense, to the larger city of Seattle and beyond – in some shape or another. I know that I must work alongside and invest (and be held accountable) in our leadership, elders, and pastors, so that they can do what I simply can't do very well – love and shepherd the PERSON. I've come to terms that my changing role at Quest is to be mindful of the PERSON but to also speak to the PEOPLE. And so, together, we're all working together to honor one of our values of 'the human soul.'
I want to ask Questers to be patient as I serve you as one of your pastors and continue our journey in the 'priesthood of believers'; for your understanding about the complexity in this season as Quest (and I) endure through growing pains; my fellows pastors, elders, and leaders to be gracious as I/we stumble along; and other external pastors in blogosphere to share any words of advice as they have or are struggling in this balance between his/her role as pastor to the person and/or/both/vs/huh/what people.

Goss to lead GreenEDGE for Tour de France
Matt Goss will spearhead a GreenEDGE team hungry for stage success in their Tour de France debut next weekend.
The Australian team have announced their nine-man roster for cycling's greatest race which starts on Saturday with a 6.4km prologue in Liege, Belgium.
As expected, GreenEDGE will be focusing on stage victories rather than overall honours in the 3,497km race with Goss the designated leader for the sprint stages.
He will be joined by former Tour de France green jersey winner Baden Cooke, in-form Simon Gerrans, Stuart O'Grady, Brett Lancaster, Daryl Impey, Michael Albasini, Pieter Weening and Sebastian Langeveld.
"Matt Goss in an obvious focus for stage wins," the team's sports director Matt White said.
"We have a lot of opportunists in the team of nine. We've said from the start that the overall is not a goal.
"We're on the hunt for stage wins, and we have a lot of winners in those eight other riders.
"They'll have every chance to show their value and class over three weeks of racing."
Goss showed in his stage win at the Giro d'Italia last month that he would be a threat in the sprint finishes in France.
It will be his second Tour De France after being part of the HTC-Highroad team behind Mark Cavendish's five stage wins and sprinter's jersey last year.
"While we have a lot of goals for Gossy in the Tour, his main objective is clear," said White. "He is on the hunt for stage wins."
Beyond the team's sprint train, the team will look to Gerrans, Weening and Albasini for stage wins.
White believed Gerrans, the first Australian to win a stage at all three grand tours, had to be considered a major threat for a stage win on the back of his form this year.
"He has had a very successful year to date," said White.
"An opportunist with a knack for winning from breaks, we'll look to Simon on a few key stages."
GreenEDGE team: Baden Cooke, Brett Lancaster, Daryl Impey, Matt Goss, Michael Albasini, Pieter Weening, Sebastian Langeveld, Simon Gerrans, Stuart O'Grady.

once you have given surety, you are liable to pay. however, consult a lawyer and show him all the documents. is the lender legally authorized to lend the money?
Thanks and Regards
Adv. Rajiv
Answered on 9/11/13, 8:54 am
make the stop payment of these cheques and then you can send legal notice to withdraw your surety by giving detail of property of your friend for whom you stand surety.
Anyhow it is typical situation but atleast you can try.
Good luck.

24Option now offers demo account
Great news everyone. As per our 24Option Review, we mentioned that there's no demo account on 24Option, but now thing has changed, we've been informed that 24Option are now offering demo account for any new customer.
24Option has been leading the Binary Options industry again when they introduce their 24Option demo account, as we know that there's hardly any other brokers who would be generous enough to offer binary option demo account. Unlike the like of forex or stock brokers, Binary Options brokers usually don't have demo account available, it's really weird thing for me to be honest. However, seem like things are starting to change now with this great news, trader now could have more time to test their strategy and get familiar with the trading platform.
Open 24Option Demo account now and start making some money!

Ronaldo happy at Madrid, despite lack of trophies
Cristiano Ronaldo insists he is satisfied with his first season at Real Madrid even though it looks destined to end trophyless.
Ronaldo has scored 26 goals in 28 the league since moving to the Bernabeu from Manchester United for a world-record £80million last summer, but Madrid head into the final round of fixtures a point behind Barcelona.
Manuel Pellegrini's side must win at Malaga and hope Barca fail to beat Real Valladolid at the Nou Camp if they are to pip their rivals to the title. However, regardless of the outcome, Ronaldo is content with how things are progressing in the Spanish capital.
''I really enjoyed the season that I've done, but what's missing is winning a title,'' he said. ''I'm very happy here in Madrid and my team-mates have helped me a lot, but the team has not won anything.
''We have to keep fighting and I am confident we will win many titles (in future).''
Of this term's finale, he added: ''It's hard to win the league, but in football anything can happen. Mathematically it is possible. We have to win in Malaga and see what happens in Barcelona. We must have hope.''
Ronaldo considers the Champions League exit - at the last-16 stage to Lyon in March - the biggest disappointment of his first 12 months in Spain.
''It was very bad, very difficult, but the circumstances must be taken into account,'' he told Spanish television programme Punto Pelota. ''We have new players, a team under construction, a different coach and we know that success does not come straight away - you have to slide a bit.
''I remember in my first two years at Manchester we did not win anything and we went on to win the Champions League.''
Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho has been linked with a move to the Bernabeu and, while Ronaldo is impressed by Mourinho's coaching record, he remains behind current boss Manuel Pellegrini.
''The successes speak for themselves,'' he said of his fellow Portuguese. ''A person earning titles is a good person. Success does not come just like that.''
He added: ''At the moment, Pellegrini fits more with me.''

One of the country's oldest breweries is dipping its toe into a sea of craft beer SKUs.
The 153-year old Pittsburgh Brewing Company, which currently produces six different premium lager and light lager brands, is rolling out its first craft offering under a new label: Block House Brewing.
"Although it is the smallest segment in the business, we wanted to stay relevant to our consumers," said Pittsburgh Brewing CEO Brian Walsh. "With our core consumers, we are seeing that they switch styles during the night. They are drinking a significant amount of craft beer and, at the end of the night, switching to IC Light."
But instead of introducing a more traditional craft offering such as a pale ale or IPA, Walsh — the former Long Trail Brewing executive who was tapped as Pittsburgh's new leader last July — said he opted to take a seasonal approach with Block House and is leading with a pumpkin ale.
"This gives us the opportunity to create beers that meet the different times of the year," he said. "We have chosen to take a seasonal approach because we other brands in the portfolio to run as well and we thought this was a prudent way to go forward."
Pittsburgh Brewing isn't entirely unfamiliar with craft, however. Before it started manufacturing its beer under contract at City Brewing in Latrobe, Penn., Pittsburgh Brewing was actually responsible for producing a variety of Boston Beer Company offerings, Walsh said.
"We were the original contract packers for Samuel Adams and our brew master has history and experience making these types of beers," he said.
Pittsburgh brewed a "conservative" amount of the pumpkin ale and pre-sold 500 barrels as somewhat of a test drive, Walsh said.
"We will get some learning's from this and then decide if we come out with a year-round," he said.
In Pennsylvania, Block House Brewing Pumpkin Ale will be priced at about $29.00 per case, Walsh said. In Ohio and West Virginia, the new beer will be priced at $8.99 per six-pack, wedged above the company's domestic premium offerings but below many mainstream craft beers.
Nevertheless, the company's foray into the craft beer segment comes at a time when many major domestic premium lager brands like Budweiser as well light lager brands like Coors Light are struggling.
According to IRI, a Chicago-based market research firm, volume sales of Budweiser and Coors Light in supermarkets are down 2 percent and 1.9 percent, respectively, through July 13.
While specific market data was not available, Walsh said Pittsburgh's core brands — Iron City Beer and IC Light — are currently "outpacing" the domestic premium segment, volume sales for which are down 1.2 percent in IRI-tracked supermarkets.
"We are a local brand that has had an iconic image for a long time," he said. "It resonates with people who know that western Pennsylvania has a rich tradition of brewing history. We know what we want to be when we grow up and that is a strong, regional brand that is tied into the local marketplace of Western Pennsylvania."
As a result of the increased sales and marketing efforts — which also includes a partnership with the Pittsburgh Pirates — the company is currently on pace to produce upwards of 95,000 barrels in 2014, Walsh said. Over time, he sees craft beer growing to become 10-15 percent of the company's overall sales.
Three additional seasonal beers, including a wintertime double chocolate bock, are also planned.
