Now at the center of an interstate custody fight to separate herself from a father she calls an Islamic fanatic, Rifqa prepares for another hearing on September 3. More details about her plight have emerged.
To reprise the facts, Rifqa escaped her home near Columbus, Ohio, on July 19 after her father, she alleges, threatened to kill her. He had discovered Rifqa's conversion to Christianity. "If you have this Jesus in your heart, you're dead to me," Rifqa says her father warned. "You're not my daughter.… I will kill you." Rifqa also went to school with signs of obvious physical abuse. Once in Orlando, Florida, she landed in the home of a Christian couple she met through a prayer group on Facebook, but she now lives with a Christian home-schooling family.
Rifqa summed up her case in a heart-wrenching video on YouTube:
They've threatened to kill me. I don't know if you know about honor killing.… You guys don't understand. Islam is very different than you guys think. They have to kill me. My blood is now halal, which means that because I am now a Christian, I'm from a Muslim background, it's an honor. If they love God more than me, they have to do this. And I'm fighting for my life, you guys don't understand. You don't understand.
Unsurprisingly, Rifqa's family denies her allegations. The parents' Muslim allies claim that a "cult" kidnapped and brainwashed her, although Rifqa converted to Christianity on November 18, 2005, long before leaving home. Rifqa's parents went to Florida to get her back, telling the court Rifqa was not in danger and claiming she left home after a fight with her mother.
On August 21, a circuit court judge in Orange County granted Rifqa's request to stay in Florida pending an investigation of the matter by the state's child welfare authorities. As reported in this space on August 24, "a report from the state's Department of Children and Families, disclosed in theOrlando Sentinel, says Rifqa wants to stay with couple that took her in: 'Child observed to be happy and comfortable with caregivers. Child requested placement with caregivers.... Child desires to be place[d] with pastor as she will feel safer with them.'"
Now, affidavits from Rifqa and her lawyer, John Stemberger, reveal more details.
Rifqa explains the allegations against her father, noting that in 2007 he found The Purpose Driven Life, by famed liberal megachurch pastor Rick Warren, in her bedroom. Two years later, he "confronted" Rifqa again, asking "several questions about whether I had become a Christian, whether I was baptized, if I was going to church," her affidavit says. "Out of fear I remained silent." Rifqa also says her father complained about receiving "numerous emails and phone calls from the leaders of the Noor Center community who informed him that he needed to deal with this matter immediately." The Noor Islamic Cultural Center is the Bary family's mosque.
The affidavit also discloses that Rifqa did indeed fight with her mother just before she left. But they fought over another Christian book her mother found in Rifqa's room: "She was very upset, in tears, and almost grieving, and told me I was going to have to be sent back to Sri Lanka to be dealt with." That was July 17. Rifqa fled two days later.
The affidavit from attorney Stemberger, details his investigation into the mosque. It may explain why the father received outside pressure about Rifqa's conversion. Stemberger cites four main concerns about the Noor Center mosque. Tops among them is the mosque's leader, Dr. Hany Saqr, "previously an imam for another area mosque at the same time the largest known Al-Qaeda cell in the U.S. since 9/11 was operating out of the mosque. Additionally, Dr. Saqr was identified in exhibits submitted by the Department of Justice in a recent terrorism finance trial in Texas as being one of the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood in North America -- an international organization responsible for birthing virtually every Islamic terrorist organization in the world."
As well, a "former Islamic scholar associated with The Noor Center is Dr. Salah Sultan, a cleric that has been photographed with terrorist leaders designated as such by the U.S. government. Dr. Sultan has recently appeared on television inciting violence against Jews, and he has previously appeared at events in support of designated terrorist organizations while an active part of the Noor Center community."
Third, the center hosts "extremist speakers," among them a fundraiser for the center "listed by federal prosecutors as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing trial." Last, but certainly not least, the "Noor Center has also been directly tied to the ongoing nationwide investigation into Somali-American youths who have left the U.S. to train in terror camps operated by the Al-Qaeda-linked Al-Shabaab terror organization."
This mosque, as Rifqa details in her affidavit, is the center of her family's religious life. She says her father "was very intent on making sure that his children, and especially me, were raised deeply in the faith of 'Original Islam,' which was taught at the Noor Center," and "my father required me to attend ... youth gatherings which lasted about five hours. My father and mother would often attend these meetings with me as all Noor Center parents were encouraged to attend youth meetings." As well, "Noor Center youth gatherings were held in our home with other members of the Noor Center present," and "in the summers, my Father required our whole family to also attend the Noor Center major gatherings held every Friday afternoon. This was the main meeting of the week which members were required to attend which lasted about three hours."
Rifqa says she attended the Noor Center on the major Islamic holidays, that Noor Center members were her family's friends and, most importantly, that "[m]y father was a committed member of the Noor Center and required our family to attend as much as possible."
In short, the Noor Center was the center of the Bary's religious, cultural, and social life.
Rifqa Bary fears an honor killing at the hands of her father. A judge decides her fate on September 3.

CALGARY - Geoff Snider has put some extra wear-and-tear on his living-room rug the past few weeks.
Once the National Lacrosse League announced it was changing the faceoff rules this season, the Calgary Roughnecks defender set about preparing for the alteration.
Without the benefit of preseason games to get adjusted, the Riggers newcomer spent some free time adapting to being four inches further away from the ball.
"If I'm not prepared to play, then I'm letting down the guys on this team," Snider said. "The other 22 guys are out there doing everything they can."
Last season with the Philadelphia Wings, Snider won 75.6% of faceoffs he attempted, dominating in the circle, and he picked up 245 loose balls.
In a league where the strong drawmen win 60% of their faceoffs, Snider is basically in a league of his own.
The NLL said in its announcement they hoped the ball would come out of the circle quicker, leading to more fast-break chances -- sort of what Snider did before the switch.
"Nobody wants to admit it, but it's the Geoff Snider rule," said Riggers head coach Dave Pym. "They are absolutely trying to prevent Geoff from being so dominant.
"They say it's evening the playing field for teams that can't win draws. They say they are trying to prevent the big scrums in the centre of the floor.
"But really they are hoping to prevent Geoff from being dominant, and I think they made a mistake. He's going to even more dominant. People think he has certain moves. That's not it at all. This plays right into his hands."
The numbers show Snider has the quickest hands in the business. Being further away from the ball shouldn't make a difference, and Pym is hoping for another 75% on draw success.
The Riggers are working on set plays from draws he wins.
"That's what is great," Snider said.
"I feel I'm one of the quick-e st. It's mechanics, being quick and knowing what you are doing with the position. Honestly, it's not going to be a huge difference."
Snider, who grew up in Calgary playing both lacrosse and hockey, spent four seasons with the Wings after coming out of the University of Denver.
Every January, the 29-year-old would move to Philly for the season. It hasn't taken him much time to feel at home with the Roughnecks, but staying at home is a bigger switch.
As owner and operator of Elev8 Lacrosse, Snider is busy working as well as spending more time with friends and family.
"It hasn't set in yet," Snider said about making his Saddle dome debut Saturday against the Buffalo Bandits. "It doesn't feel like this is happening already.
"I'm not used to fo cusing on family, life and career. I was used to going and playing. Now I have other things on the go with Elev8 and life in general."
Snider isn't sure he's had so much of an impact as to change the rulebook, so the suggestion makes him laugh.
"Would I like to think they are changing stuff because of me? Yeah, that would be great," Snider said.
"It would be a huge honour and I would be flattered. I'm excited about it.
"I think it helps. It makes teams compete for the ball a little more instead of trying to tie you up."

Distributional Analysis of Portfolio Choice
Trading in a market is compared with receiving some particular consu mption bundle, given increasing state-independent preferences and complete markets. The analysis focuses on the distribution price of t he particular bundle. The distributional price is the price of the ch eapest utility-equivalent bundle sold in the market. The distribution al price is determined by the distribution functions of the outside b undle and the state price density. Simple portfolio performance measu res illustrate the value of the approach.

Every week, fibaeurope.com collaborator Mark Woods talks to players with a single travel destination in mind this summer, Lithuania.
First in the series is Italy's "magician", Andrea Bargnani.
Mark Woods writes on basketball for a number of British newspapers as well as broadcasting for the BBC and Sky Sports. He is also assistant editor of mvp247.com and can be found on Twitter @markbritball.
Count me in, says Andrea Bargnani.
Italy's talisman will be headed back to Europe this summer, not just for a much-needed vacation but also to once more serve as the focal point of his national team.
"It's in my plans," confirms the Toronto Raptors centre.
"If everything is OK with the team and my body, I'll be in Lithuania."
The availability of 'Il Mago' (The Magician) for Eurobasket 2011 is a welcome tonic for the plans of Italy head coach Simone Pianigiani.
|To say Andrea Bargnani is important to Pianigiani's team is an understatement. The Roman averaged 24.1 points and 6.6 rebounds for Italy last summer
Third in their qualifying group last summer behind Montenegro and Israel despite the scoring of their NBA star, Italy were among the most relieved nations after FIBA Europe extended its invite list from 16 to 24 teams.
The Azzurri were absent from Poland two years ago, after losing to France twice in the Additional Qualifying Round.
Now the path is clear for Bargnani to appear in a major championship for the second time, after EuroBasket 2007.
However it is not the possibility of a European title which is his major obsession. It is the potential, en route, to secure one of the two free passes to next year's Olympic Games in London.
"It would be amazing," the Roman declares.
"To play in an Olympics would be incredible. That's the main reason I want to play for the national team this summer, to play in an Olympics. It's a dream of mine. It's something I've not had the chance to experience before. And I want to make 2012 my first time."
The Italians have ample strength as they look ahead to an initial group which includes their old friends Israel and France, as well as Latvia, Germany and the powerful Serbia.
His former Toronto team-mate Marco Belinelli is a relative veteran of the international game and, despite inconsistencies, has held onto a starting role in the backcourt of the New Orleans Hornets this season.
Meanwhile Danilo Gallinari has settled into life in Denver after arriving from the New York Knicks.
"We've always had great talent," Bargnani states.
"We just have to play well as a team.
"In the EuroBasket, it doesn't matter how many NBA players you have. The important thing is to play together and hit a peak. It is always so competitive now at Eurobasket."
Bargnani knows Italian eyes will be on him. The 2.13m star is 25 years old now and with five years of experience at the highest level of club basketball.
|Marco Belinelli has been criticised for lack of consistency, but no one can question his commitment to the Squadra Azzurra
In Toronto, they have relied on him more this season since the departure of Chris Bosh. The number one pick of the 2006 NBA Draft has been asked to carry more of a load than ever before.
"There has been more focus on me," he admits. "People expect more. You have to keep getting better."
Italy will have high expectations from him also.
Last summer, he led his side in scoring in every game, finishing second only to Bo McCalebb of F.Y.R of Macedonia in the overall qualifying charts.
Without his contribution, he knows it will be hard for Pianigiani's men to imagine progress into the second round, let alone an Olympic challenge.
"It's a good kind of pressure," he smiles.
"I'm used to having that in Toronto. I've been in the NBA for five years now. Ever since I was the number one draft pick, I've had that pressure."
In March, he made a brief trip back across the Atlantic to play at the venue where his ultimate dreams might be realised.
The Raptors were taking part in the NBA's first-ever regular season games in Europe. They lost twice to the New Jersey Nets, despite the Italian's weighty individual contribution.
"It was great to be part of history," he confirms.
"It was fun and a great experience. My mother, my father and a few friends from Italy were there. It was great to be able to be in front of them."
There is, of course, the possibility that he might play more frequently in Europe next season if the NBA pursues a lock-out.
Bargnani was named Euroleague's best young player in 2006 while with Benetton Treviso, before seeking fame and fortune in North America. Would he consider returning if the Raptors are sent into hibernation?
"I don't know," he admits.
"It's a tough call. I have a long contract so I'm not even sure that I can."
Italy will pray that the lockout will not affect his summer itinerary. The Azzurri are out to conjure up a surprise.
For that, they will need their magician.

CREWE stores joined forces to complete a gruelling triathlon for St Luke's Hospice.
25 employees from M&S Crewe, M&S Crewe Grand Junction and M&S Nantwich swam, cycled and ran last weekend to raise funds for the local hospice, which is their chosen charity of the year.
The team began their challenge at Nantwich Swimming Pool, swimming 13 lengths, before jumping on their bikes and cycling 10K to the Crewe Grand Junction store.
The teams then ran 2.5K, reaching the finishing line at M&S Crewe.
Owen Dyde, Crewe store manager, said: "Each year we commit to working with a local cause for the good of the immediate community and this year we have joined forces with our neighbouring stores to support St. Luke's Hospice.
"All our staff were really keen to choose a local charity that meant something to both employees and people in the area so the hospice felt like a natural choice.
"We wanted to start our fundraising efforts with a big event, involving staff from all three stores.
"The triathlon really did put us to the test but it was great fun and all in the name of a very worthy cause."

New York City subway riders are getting back service on the G train between Brooklyn and Queens.
The return of service comes as the MTA reopens a tunnel Tuesday that was heavily damaged by Sandy.
The tunnel, at the north end of the line, was flooded with 3 million gallons of salt water during the storm. The salt water submerged tracks, power cables and other equipment, leaving behind a corroded mess.
The tunnel has been closed for five weeks for repairs. Shuttle buses were provided between G stops in Queens and Brooklyn during that time.
The tunnel was inundated by 15 feet of water as the storm swept through the city in the fall of 2012.
It's one of nine underwater tunnels that sustained extensive damage during the storm.
The Montague tunnel, which carries the R under the East River, is expected to reopen in October.

April 30th, 2010
Okay, so basically since last fall I've been getting these strange attack things that I believe might have to do with my heart? The pain starts in my abdomen and moved upward to my neck and jaw. Radiates, if you will. It's really hard to explain. Sometimes they last a minute or two and sometimes it lasts 30 minutes. But here's the dilemma: I'm 17, I'm not overweight - never have been, I have low blood pressure - not high, I've had 2 ECG's, 2 chest x-rays, blood work etc. but I'm not sure if these were the correct tests or not. I'm just really scared. It happens once sometimes one or twice every few months and it's really painful. Sometimes it's my right side and sometimes left. Sometimes both, too. That confuses me a little.
I AM going to go to the Doctor Monday and see if I can get another referral to the heart specialist. I'd just like to know someone's opinion on this beforehand.
Thank you so much.

Heart Disease and Heart Attack Answer A11632
Hi, welcome to the ehealth forum and I am glad to help you.
You seem concerned about pain abdomen radiating to neck and jaw off and on every few months.
Some patients report epigastric distress with myocardial ischemia and the pain or discomfort can radiate to neck, jaw, teeth, arms, or shoulders. Ischemia of the heart is usually caused by atherosclersis of coronary arteries but can also be caused by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, aortic stenosis which can occur at young age as well. Blood pressure monitoring, thorough examination including cardiac examination and ECG and chest x-ray are the important investigations. If these tests suggest any ischemia then exercise ecg and echocardiography may be considered to quantify the diagnosis. The other possibility to rule out is the gastroesophageal reflux disease and these may respond to antacids/proton pump inhibitors. CT chest may help to rule out emergencies like aortic dissection etc.
You must consult your doctor for definitive diagnosis as the same cannot be made online.
Hope this helps. Take care.

We watched Breakfast at Tiffany's over the holidays and I decided I needed to read it. The library only has it in a large omnibus edition, A Capote Reader, which led me to revisit "My Side of the Matter" tonight:
"I know what is being said about me and you can take my side or theirs, that's your own business. It's my word against Eunice's and Olivia-Ann's, and it should be plain enough to anyone with two good eyes which one of us has their wits about them. I just want the citizens of the U.S.A. to know the facts, that's all.
"The facts: On Sunday, August 12, this year of our Lord, Eunice tried to kill me with her papa's Civil War sword and Olivia-Ann cut up all over the place with a fourteen-inch hog knife. This is not even to mention lots of other things."
The Capote led me to revisiting "Why I Live at the P.O.":
"I was getting along fine with Mama, Papa-Daddy and Uncle Rondo until my sister Stella-Ronda just separated from her husband and came back home again. Mr. Whitaker! Of course I went with Mr. Whitaker first, when he first appeared here in China Grove, taking 'Pose Yourself' photos, and Stella-Rondo broke us up. Told him I was one-sided. Bigger on one side than the other, which is a deliberate, calculated falsehood: I'm the same. Stella-Rondo is exactly twelve months to the day younger than I am and for that reason she's spoiled."
I should start reading Southern fiction again. I've missed the voices. I've missed the characters.

Okay, does this seem insane to you? A 12-year-old special education student has been legally charged with disorderly contduct for wetting her pants in school. The principal was apparently talking to her (yelling at her? ) when this happened, and they say she did it on purpose, but the kid's mother says the child is afraid of the principal. But they've had the POLICE charge the kid. <sigh> Not for hitting someone. Not for spitting on someone. Not for swearing at someone. For wetting her pants.

When Cameron Zamora, 10, learned that a Ramona family needed money for their 16-month-old son, he immediately told his mother Cindy, "I want to have a lemonade stand."
"We dropped everything so we could start making cookies and lemonade," said Cindy Zamora.
Cameron and his friend Jared Robison, both incoming sixth-graders at Barnett Elementary School, received permission to set the stand at Arena Way and Open View Road. In one hour they raised $27 for Liam Houck, who is in end-stage renal failure and needs a kidney transplant. See article, page 1, for more information about Liam and his family.
"I just felt sorry for him," said Cameron, explaining what motivated him to have the fundraising stand.
He said he and Jared most likely will return to the intersection this week in hopes of raising more money for Liam.

This is the first in a series of training videos presented by SKLZ.com. Each Monday the Training Tip of the Week will focus on a specific aspect of baseball training to help you become a better player, from hitting to pitching to baserunning to defense. Our first video focuses on some of the things pitchers can work on when they're doing their flat-ground work.
While pitching coaches might disagree on the balance between working off flat ground versus working off a mound, they would all agree that some flat ground work is an important part of any pitcher's training regimen. In a series of videos for SKLZ.com, Long Beach State head coach Troy Buckley talks about some of the important aspects of flat ground work, including as it relates to a pitcher's long-toss regimen. Buckley is one of the nation's most respected pitching coaches. He was a catcher at Santa Clara and in the minor leagues before beginning his coaching career. He came to Long Beach State as pitching coach in 2001 and took over as the head coach in 2010.
"The flat-ground routine coupled with the long-toss routine now becomes essentially the foundation of the throwing program," Buckley says in one of the videos. He said flat ground work can help pitchers work on their timing and rhythm, as well as their mechanics and delivery. Ultimately the value of flat ground and long toss work depends on an individual's personal goals.
In this video, Buckley speaks specifically about using flat ground work to focus on balance in the delivery, and the importance of any pitcher finding the top of his delivery. Again, many of the details will vary from individual to individual, but the guiding principles are the same.
For more of Buckley's videos on long toss and flat ground work, and for a variety of baseball instructional videos as well as products, you can visit SKLZ.com.

Old lion tries new tricks for health care
Congressman John Conyers Jr. has been battling for universal health care for decades, but the number of uninsured just keeps climbing, now roughly 47 million.
So the powerful Michigan Democrat is taking a new approach.
Story Continued Below
"We're bringing in the media people. You've got to have a communications strategy," says the longtime civil rights activist in the conference room on the lower floor of the Old Ebbitt Grill.
"Thanks Fenton, for getting us into the how-do-we-communicate-better-with-everybody-and-get-to-our-goal-quickly," he says to two representatives of the D.C.-based public relations firm that organized the breakfast meeting.
They smile at the House judiciary committee chairman — who as one of the oldest bulls in Congress is not used to taking media direction.
He is either not aware of or unconcerned by the standard notion that PR firms are to remain invisible, but the presence of Fenton Communications is a sign that Conyers is thinking strategically about the healthcare legislation he's pushing — HR 676 — that would create a single-payer system.
The image-makers haven't chiseled off Conyers' edge. "California Nurses," he says, recognizing advocates seated near him, "they're the biggest, baddest group there is."
Conyers' cause is at an awkward moment. Democrats have endorsed universal healthcare mostly across the board. "That's the name of the game now," he says in his grave, deliberate manner. "It's got to be universal something: universal Clinton, universal Obama, universal Edwards."
But the plans laid out by the top three Democratic presidential candidates — Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) and Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and former vice presidential nominee John Edwards — are not single payer.
"Baloney. We know it isn't [universal]," says Conyers, pointing out that their approaches generally leave the current system in place, which he considers irreparably broken.
Yet Conyers says he's "totally unfazed" that the top-tier candidates haven't endorsed his plan. "They're hustling their little butts off trying to get positioned," he says.
Asked if he plans to wait to press his plan on a potential Democratic president until after the election, he doesn't hesitate.

With a busy week behind you and the weekend within reach, there's no shame in taking things a bit easy on Friday afternoon. With this in mind, every Friday TriplePundit will give you a fun, easy read on a topic you care about. So, take a break from those endless email threads, and spend five minutes catching up on the latest trends in sustainability and business.
We all know that biking to work is a great way to cut back on carbon emissions. But in case a trimmer waistline and a lighter footprint isn't enough motivation for busy commuters, a growing number of companies are sweetening the deal with perks and incentives designed to get employees pedaling. Here are five of our favorites.
1. Clif Bar
Clif Bar, which employs more than 300 employees at its Emeryville, Calif. headquarters, takes bike-to-work incentives to a whole new level. The company's Sustainability Benefits Program includes an incentive of up to $500 to buy or repair a commuter bike. Employees who walk, bike, carpool or take public transportation to work can also earn points for each trip — redeemable for rewards like cash, massages and Clif gear.
2. New Belgium Brewing
Cars are a rare sight to see at New Belgium Brewing's flagship brewery in Fort Collins, Colo. It will likely be the same story at its new location in downtown Ashville, N.C., and it's not hard to see why.
After a year on the job, each New Belgium employee receives a free limited release Fat Tire Cruiser bike, in honor of the company's best-selling Fat Tire Amber Ale. Employees can also borrow a cruiser for local errands and lunch breaks.
3. Honest Tea
Headquartered in in Bethesda, Md., organic beverage maker Honest Tea gives its employees who either bike or walk to work $27.50 extra in their paychecks monthly. In addition, in the summer of 2007, the company bought each of its then 52 employees Jamis bikes.
The company's president and 'TeaEO' Seth Goldman bikes about a mile to work every day, so he understands the perils of the bicycle commuter. When the company moved into its current office building back in 2007, Goldman insisted on having showers installed in the bathrooms — an unsung perk we're sure his bike-to-work employees (and those who share their working spaces) are eternally grateful for.
4. Patagonia
Patagonia's Drive-Less program provides a monetary incentive for employees to bike, walk, carpool or take public transit to work. It pays all U.S. and Canadian employees $2 per trip, up to two trips per day. Each employee can earn up to $500 (pre-tax) per year.
In the first year of the program, more than 900 employees participated. As a collective result, in that first year Patagonia employees drove 690,000 fewer miles, cut CO2 emissions by 500,000 pounds and saved 25,700 gallons of fuel.
5. Jamba Juice
Also headquartered in Emeryville, Calif., Jamba Juice provides some pretty sweet perks for peddlers. The company offers a set of bright orange loaner bikes for employees to use for errands and lunch breaks, as well as plenty of space for bike commuters to park their own rides.
The company has also developed an extensive wellness program that includes health insurance premium discounts in exchange for completing challenges — including participating in Bike to Work Day, attending a bicycle repair class or going on a practice ride. Jamba Juice has become known in the area for its bike-friendly ways and was named as one of the most bike-friendly businesses of the year by local advocacy group Bike East Bay.

Success Strategies for Women in Industry and Business
|Printable Description
|Delivered in
|April 9, 2018 (8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. ) - Detroit, Michigan
It is a well-known fact that the number of women in science, engineering and business fields is growing, yet men continue to outnumber women, especially at the upper levels of these professions. Many women appear to encounter a series of challenges at early or midcareer stages that contribute to them leaving their careers prematurely due to feelings of isolation, an unsupportive work environment, extreme work schedules, and unclear rules about advancement and success.
This program serves as a unique opportunity to obtain both formal and informal mentoring tips from a successful woman engineer who spent over 25 years in the petrochemical/specialty chemical industry. She has seen and has experienced significant changes in the number of professional women active in the technical/scientific field and is convinced that more positive change can happen in the future.
This seminar will provide detailed guidance, based on real life examples, on how female professionals can become proactive in creating career opportunities via self-assessment, self-motivation, an objective view of one's own abilities, and continuous steps in self-improvement. The program will take participants beyond theory to case studies and real life examples exemplifying potential for immediate use.
Learning Objectives

Gateway: #1 putters in the game! Voodoo, Magic, Warlock, and the Wizard. Four putters, four flexibilities: Medium, Soft, Super Soft, and Super Stupid Soft.
4 thoughts on "Gateway Putters"
Hello. Where can I find a discription of the four flexibilities for the Wizard and Warlock? I don't see descriptions of these on your site. Thanks much, Toney
Watched Johne McCray win his 120th pro win in Valdosta this past weekend and now I am replacing my "banger putter" with a Warlock and A Wizard. Johne is friggin an amazing disc golfer and was willing to speak to us afterwards and share tips and why he uses Gateway….
i have been playing disc golf for about two year…I've tried many putters but my two go to putters are my wizards..medium for thirty plus feet and my soft when I'm in the circle i get nothing but Birdies and consistency with my wizards they are second to none as far as I'm concerned…peace ray Calero WI

I visited my local hi-fi dealer this weekend to let him know how happy I am with my system and see what was new. I asked him about people that come loaded with "specs" and he laughed. I told him that for me the only thing that was important was sound not specs. We went into the listening room and he played me two different systems and asked me which one , in my opinion, sounded better. After listening and switching back in forth I told him that as far as I was concerned system B sounded a lot richer and had more depth (they were both using the same B&W speakers). Then he proceeded to show me the specs on one system, A Macintosh and the other, an Arcam Integrated amp. While the Macintosh had a lot better specs, watts, S/N ratio, the Arcam had richer deeper sound. Conclusion: Like he said..it's your ears that should guide you not your brain ! He also told me that some people come in and equate price with performance which he said is another big mistake. He said he had just sold a Levonson system to a customer who paid over $25K for two monoblocks, a CD player and control AMP. He said "it's a good system but for the money he could have done a hell of a lot better" but then some people just can't get over the price has to equal performance issues. He's a great dealer and have never tried to sell me on anything he lets my ears do the listening..
You are here
Why is it so difficult to understand that one's ears, not a spec sheet, tells us how a system sounds?
This is why I prefer the small "Ma & Pa" operations...listen for yourself and decide what sounds good to you. No "weekly specials" or "one day only" sales.
I'm glad you have a dealer as great as mine, Rich. I remember telling the salesman I work with that if I replace my Paradigm 7se's anytime soon, it will probably be with a pair of Monitor 11's. His reply was "Are you sure you wouldn't want a pair of Studio 20's instead?" I think that's admirable that he would recommend a speaker costing $300 less because he believes I would get more enjoyment out of it.
As for my amplifier, well, I'm pretty confident that I would choose it over much more expensive gear. I'm extremely satisfied.
I get the impression that there aren't a whole lot of these places around anymore. I intend to do whatever small part I can to help these guys keep their doors open. If everyone had a shop like mine nearby, there would probably be a lot more audiophiles in the world.
Specs, in general, shouldn't be a deciding factor other than specs for H,W,D and weight. You need to know if it will fit on your shelf and what type of vehicle will be required to bring it home. However, what someone buying Mac is expecting is a product that will be trouble free (for the most part) and long lasting as well as sound good. My Mac tubes have been in service for 45 years now. I doubt you can find the same performance from Arcam. "Richer deeper" doesn't translate to more like live. In particular, Mac doesn't please many folks who want to buy a hifi. So, pick what you like, if you have your priorities and references in order. You may like to sit in the first five rows of the audience while I may prefer the next five. Where we sit will determine what we expect to hear. That is the sort of reference you should bring to the dealer, not anything else.
He said "it's a good system but for the money he could have done a hell of a lot better" ...
Don't let the dealer's priorities become yours. Saving money's nice, and, as a salesperson, I found it more enjoyable to put together a top notch system on a budget than just collect the top of the line everything. But what do you believe that Levinson customer thinks he/she now owns? Over priced junk? Your perspective on this is too narrow.
MacIntosh ain't been around for 45 years though, McIntosh has though. Let's see Arcam be in business for as long as McIntosh has, not many, but teh ones who survive, usually do cus' it's stuff people want. No voodo, just real electrical designs that work. McIntosh also supports their stuff well don't they? The book is GREAT too, get it. I still remeber seeing my first McIntosh in wall setup, at a friends house back in the end of the 60's or so, THAT is what got me going. Also Dynao ST-70 with in wall coaxial built in's. McIntosh is still going, Dyna is long gone. But McIntosh did need to be bought out into D&M which is getting stronger and stronger, Marantz also an old surviror, from Philips ownership, now D&M with Mc...looks like they have another 50 years ahead of them. Ya shoulda' got teh McIntosh....
He tells YOU that cus' he senses you are buying teh lesser priced stuff....he probably loves selling teh expensive stuff to the people who want it, certainly he makes more on the pricey stuff, selling $200 amps ain't gonna keep him in business unless he sells like Best Buy or Circuit City VOLUME. He probbly told teh guy buying teh expensive stuff that teh cheap stuff won't satisfy him, after he realized teh person was looking for some pricey stuff, a good saleman can size up the prey, knows what to say at what time. Ya shoulda got some AVA stuff anyway, much more for less. www.avahifi.com No dealer middleman to jack up the price either...Wonder just what teh markup is on say $25,000 worth of Levinsom stuff, think he made a few grand commision?
Quote>>".......I found it more enjoyable to put together a top notch system on a budget than just collect the top of the line everything."
I suspect that approach is fun for a salesman. It certainly is for the buyer who can't reach the "price no object" level. Today's the day to do it, too. Never heard so much modestly priced gear that performs so well. Pity I don't need anything.
Quote>> "I think that's admirable that he would recommend a speaker costing $300 less because he believes I would get more enjoyment out of it."
Clearly, Erik, you have many other reasons to trust your dealer and the particular sales person in question but, in the general case, as I'm sure you understand, recommendations like that one sometimes have to do with excess inventory and relative margins. You're certainly right overall, though with your commitment to helping a good dealer keep his doors open. I've lamented the passing of two or three for whom the support I was able to give just wasn't enough. Count yourself lucky and send your friends.
Read the last two paragraphs of AD's introduction to the Audio Valve Eclipse in the August, '07 Stereophile. It begins, "The transformer, tubes, ... ".
I doubt the shop you were at has a service department, most don't now days, but ask a technician about the fit and finish of a Mac or Levinson and how many come in for repair. You can take the screws out of the heavy gauge steel top and bottom plate and put them back in a dozen times without once stripping screw thread or having the plate sit cattycorner on the chassis. Components and wiring are laid out with serviceability in mind and good sound comes with that. Then ask about the same with the Arcam. Maybe this doesn't mean anything to you at this point in life. But, I can assure you, if you pick up a fifteen year old copy of Stereophile's recommended components, you will see names of great sounding pieces of gear that were made by a company that didn't pay attention to the details and the company no longer exists. Superphon and Counterpoint come to mind, though some of their troubles were more than poor fitting cases and unreliable equipment.
Don't look at specs but do consider what you may be buying. A Chevy is not a Lamboughini.

Then you can prune > and filter trees in a natural way, inside the monad. Eh, isn't that what ListT is already for? I mean, type Directory = FilePath contents :: MonadIO m => Directory -> m [FilePath] liftList :: Monad m => m [a] -> ListT m a runList :: Monad m => ListT m a -> m [a] allows you to prune the directory tree in whatever way you like it. Here's an example top-down traversal that lists all non-directories: allFiles :: MonadIO m => Directory -> m [FilePath] allFiles d = runList $ do f <- liftList $ contents d if isDirectory f then allFiles f else return f In other words, ListT is like one of those iterators I keep hearing from the Python/Java/.../imperative world (except that you can't suspend a traversal once started).

text: coming out? I am mulling a change of racquets from the MG Prestige MP to the MG MP Prestige Pro. I am thinking of going back to a more open pattern. Playing with the K88 and the PS 95 lately has shown me I am a better player with an open string pattern. So I am wondering if Head will have a new line of racquets coming out NEXT year (2010). Does anyone have any information? I am also wondering if they will continue with the Pro line with the 16X19 string pattern. Thanks for any information.

Märket 2008
In June 2008 I spent one week at the lighthouse of Märket. The lighthouse is situated on a small islet in the Baltic Sea, on the border between Finland (Åland Islands) and Sweden. As a member of the Finnish Lighthouse Association I was helping with renovating the decayed building and guiding visitors - and, of course, I took a lot of photos there. :)
Larger versions of the photos are available in my photoblog Under the Open Sky.

So MTV is reporting that Michael Caine talked to someone who (may be) connected to Warner Bros. somehow and they told him that the villains for "Batman Begins 3" will be The Riddler and The Penguin, and that none other than Johnny Depp and Philip Seymour Hoffman, respectively, will be playing those roles. Which just goes to show you that no one tells Michael Caine anything. Seriously, I'm not trying to insult the man here, but let's face it, no one of any consequence told Michael Caine that the villains for the next Batman movie would be The Riddler and The Penguin, and especially who will be playing them.
But hey, don't take my word for it. Here's MTV with the Caine stuff:
"I was with [a Warner Bros.] executive and I said, 'Are we going to make another one?' They said yeah. I said, 'How the hell are we going to top Heath? And he says 'I'll tell you how you top Heath — Johnny Depp as The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin.' I said, 'S–t, they've done it again!'" [Laughs]
Here's the deal: Michael Caine probably heard someone say it who read it in the tabloids like the rest of us, and got the person's identity confused with someone who actually mattered — i.e. Christopher Nolan and, to an extent, David Goyer, one of the writers on the previous two Batman films. And Goyer has already said that they're going to be digging deeper into Batman's Rogues Gallery for a less familiar name to pit against the Bat in the third movie. Nolan, for his part, is on vacation somewhere trying to shake off the darkness of "The Dark Knight", which was, frankly, pretty damn dark.
Johnny Depp has already said he hasn't heard a thing about playing The Riddler, and he seemed just as amused by the "news" as anyone that he was in negotiations for the part. Although he did seem intrigued by the idea, which bodes well, and should probably signal to Warner Bros. that yeah, Depp MAY be interested. Enough for them to contact him and offer the role? That would, again, depend on what Nolan says, and he hasn't said much yet.
As I said in a previous article, the only person I can imagine Nolan hiring for a Batman villain is Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin, with the Penguin character showing up in the movie as vastly altered from his comic book or Tim Burton roots — i.e. no stupid penguins with rockets attached to their backs. But even then, I can't see the Penguin existing in the Batman-verse that Nolan has created. It just doesn't mesh.
But hey, maybe I'm wrong, and maybe Michael Caine knows what he's talking about, after all. I sure wish Nolan would come back from vacation and let us in on it already…

Wow.....too many guys still working on their knees with miter saw on the floor..... 1-Dewalt stand-- Have had 3 of them..decent...make sure to lock extension(s) or you'll send one through a window..not so hot for wide stock; if you don't quite lock the saw to the stand (and you think you have it..) can be kind of hairy...okay stand..tough...rugged. 2-Hitachi/Trak-Rac stand--Nice and compact;good positive locking system for the saw platform;decent accessories for the extension arms....because of the front and back extension arms you can come up shallow for,again, wide stock on the rear rail extension...also some pretty sharp edges on the profiles...also the legs splay out further than the Dewalt and you keep tripping over those legs......and when the rail extension track gets gets cheesed up with saw dust..Man, oh Man-what a nuisance...and can be hard to clean out in the track.. 3-Bosch Tilt-up stand--One of my favorites....only bugaboo is the sometime problem of working with wide and or long stock....but what an absolute breeze to schleppe in and out of the trailer,the truck, up and down stairs....like the rigidty and simplicity...BIG KUDOS TO BOSCH!! 4- An oldie and sometimes a goodie---the old Sawbuck----kind of wide--hard to get through some doorways--fairly decent for loading and unloading--- but the saw itself was Mickey Mouse--I had 2 of them....Why? I liked the fact that you could cut over 18" width at 90 dgrees...you had a great table for all kinds of 'umph' (I had both the aluminum model table and the later model with the plastic-type ABS top)...the extension arms were wimpy,but broad......Now, if you could clone the lightweight and larger 'table' of the sawbuck,combine it with the simplicity of the Bosch Tilt-up stand, and then give it some extension arms with tanates-they do not need to be much longer, but a little more width and 'umph' facto would help......Basically, I'm seeing the Bosch stand with an ABS type deck or table-maybe something where you could add Bosch inserts to help with the material support-kind of like clip-in and lock accessories...sort of Festoolian in nature.... I feel that the combination of the new Bosch glide saw with a slightly broader stand,better extensions and some cool lock-in accessories you could really kick butt. We had a really nice dedicated benchtop setup for one of our miter saws in our shop-very sweet--easy to clean--but, we were anchored to the bench..... I think that no matter what you come up with it will beat 'Hands Down' the old days when we lugged our 10" Dewalt radial arm saw all over creation.....no wonder I've had hernia repairs...HAH!

Baseball: Blue Ox top Warroad in playoff opener
The Bemidji Blue Ox captured their opener in the North Border playoffs Tuesday night, winning 7-6 at Warroad.
The two teams meet at BSU Sunday at 2 with a second game to follow immediately should Warroad win.
The Sunday winner advances to a best of three series with Roseau to determine the seeds for the upcoming regional with both teams advancing.
The Ox scored five runs in the third to take a 5-3 lead but needed another pair in the fifth, then held off the late Warroad comeback which sent home two runs in the eighth and had the bases loaded in the ninth before the game ended.
Justin Huether, who blanked the Muskies here 3-0 last week, gave up seven hits Tuesday, fanning nine and walking three to get his second win of the year.
Bryce Demolee went the route for the Muskies surrendering 10 hits while fanning seven and walking one.
Singles by Ben Scheving, Friedrick and Brent Culleten, an error and a one bagger by Louden Nelson sent home three Warroad runs in the second.
Singles by Sol Schneider and Pat McSbarry opened the big Blue Ox third. A walk loaded the bases. With two gone, Colton Doty doubled home two and Nate Brown followed with a three-run homer to send Bemidji ahead.
Warroad cut the lead to 5-4 in the last of the frame on Adam Knebel's single, an error and ground out.
In the fifth, Smith singled with one gone and Brown followed with his second homer for a 7-4 lead. That was to prove the final serious threat for the visitors.
Warroad went quietly in the fifth, sixth and seventh as Huether completed a string of retiring 15 of 15 batters.
But in the eighth, a hit batter and walk put runners aboard with one out. They moved up on a ground out and both scored as Culleten reached on an error.
With one gone in the ninth, Ben Bengtson singled and Knebel walked. Demoloee followed with another single to load the bases.
But Huether fanned Scheving and got the final out on a force at second.
Smith had three hits and Brown and Schneider two for the Blue Ox who raised their season record to 10-12.
Cody Gross will throw Sunday's opener with the second pitcher, if needed, as yet undecided
Smith or Matt Fossen would be likely prospects with Huether also available.
Blue Ox 005-020-000---7--10--2
Warroad 021-000-020---6--7--0
Huether (2-0) and C. Conway
Demolee and Culleten

Web DesignWe design beautiful, fast loading, responsive, individual websites ready for search engine optimization, maintaining the partner´s corporate identity.
NETWORKingWe have a huge network of partner, backlinking to each other making the sites stable. We use all social media channels to communicate our websites virally & continuously.
ART DIRECTIONFor every project we assign an Art Director who takes care of the harmonic design issues like colors, fonts, pictures & editorial. Just that everything fits harmoious.
SEO & SEMSuccessful SEO for us means that our partners are listed under the top three positions on the first result page at Google with the defined keywords.
Graphic DesignWe like it simple. We like it clean. Our Art Directors are professionals working for big brands or other design agencies. For every task we have a specialist at hand.
MARKETING CONSULTINGSteve has been working in marketing for many brands, for many years. He gained experience in the fashion industry at Marc O´Polo, René Lezard, Hugo Boss & Nautica, as well as the IT industry at Apple Germany. He´s the owner and online marketeer for waxinglounge, balancehair, hairvision, The House of Nova and many more.
My agency is a team of creative design passionates. They all love to do what they do – that is why our designs always shine & have a "heart". Steve Jobs once said that "details matter" – and that is one of our main principles: we spend hours to make every little detail fit to the harmony of the complete website. Sometimes it takes hours to find or design the perfect "Read more …" button.
The websites we design are our expression of pieces of art. Each website is individual and they are – as it is usual for an artist – never "finished". The partnership with a customer is always long-lasting and based on intense communication. We do not "hand over" a website once the main project is finished, but will take care of updates, help with blogging, implement new features if necessary.
As we all know Google changes its algorhithms every once in a while. We continously watch the trends and adjust our partner´s & customer´s sites to it. Right now (as if of May 2017) Google rates pages by the follong factors: amount of organic backlinks – from other sites, social media or blogs | site speed – startpage should load under 1.5 sec. | mobile optimization / responsiveness – the site has to be functional on every device | content of startpage relevant to meta description & keywords, especially in the headings < h1 > < h2 > and body text | secure ssh websites with https
¡¡¡ The content which is relevant for Google is basically the startsite / homepage only !!!
That way our strategy for our customers is to split their website into various landing pages, each focussing on a certain business section – and all redirecting to the mainpage.
BEST PRACTICE ONE: balanceHAIR professional
balanceHAIR is a young & very stylish hair salon in Munich. They focus on the strong brand products REDKEN, AMERICAN CREW, GOLDFEVER, OLAPLEX & I.C.O.N. Ivka Salkovic – the owner – started two years ago as the only hair stylist in the salon. Now Ivka has four employees and is moving to a bigger place. Redken offered Ivka to take part in the "Redken Salon Emotion Concept", which she will implement partially in the new location. Ivka didn´t do any advertising, but trusted us installing an online booking system and optimizing the website for the search engines. Through our efford, balanceHAIR now is listed in top positions – regarding the defined keywords which are essential for her business. www.balancehair.de www.balancehair-men.de www.balancehair-women.de www.balancehair-barber.de www.balancehair-professional.de The former domains, which are positioned so well in Google, will be redirected to the new main domain www.balancehair.de. We also anchored the links with the most important keywords, as for example: balanceHAIR Männer Herren Friseur München Neuhausen balanceHAIR Frauen Damen Friseur München Neuhausen That way we have many domains & landingpages to optimize a focussed search engine marketing strategy for each business segment.
BEST PRACTICE TWO: waxinglounge [munich]
through the years the waxinglounge [munich] grew to the number one studio for professional sugaring & waxing in Munich. The waxinglounge [munich] is top listed with all relevant and important keywords, as you can see on the screenshot. We use many domains & subdomains for the waxinglounge [munich] to increase backlinks & keywords to the mainpage www.waxinglounge-munich.de For the VIP* customers of waxinglounge [munich] we introduced a special, seperate booking portal. Only 50 customers get access to a special calendar which offers appointments to times not available in the regular booking tool on the mainsite. www.waxing.vip The reaction of the customers receiving the invitation card (see picture) is incredible – they feel honored and comforted.

" Steve is my neighbour. I came up with a bet to challange him – he was supposed to boost my website from position 15+ to 5 or better. I don´t know HOW he did it – but I lost my bet. So I am gonna be his personal trainer until he weights 73 kilos 😉 "

Antrim manager Dawson's woe as fall-out over Mass row continues
Antrim football manager Frank Dawson is putting the finishing touches to his Ulster championship squad although he is continuing to sift through what proved a bitterly disappointing league campaign.
The Saffrons made the drop into Division Four and although he makes it clear that he takes comfort from their performance against Monaghan in their last game – they lost by 3-16 to 0-13 – unearthing positives is proving difficult for Dawson.
His team's false dawn was subsequently compounded by the furore over the omission of Tony Scullion and Tómas McCann from the line-up to face Monaghan but Dawson resolutely confirms that "this is in the past."
However, it is understood that Scullion could be omitted from the championship squad and if this is the case, then McCann and his brother Michael may continue to be absentees.
Antrim will renew their rivalry with Monaghan in the Ulster Championship quarter-final in June when they will have home advantage at Casement Park.
This is a must-win game for the Saffrons and there is now a level of anxiety within the county surrounding the participation of Scullion and the McCann brothers in the tie.
A stand-off between Dawson and Scullion and Tómas McCann ensued when the manager informed the two players that they were not to travel under their own steam for the game against Monaghan on Sunday week last after they had informed him they would be attending an anniversary Mass for a family relative.
Dawson remains adamant that he is not prepared to engage in any further public debate on that particular issue.
"That would not do the squad or the county any favours," insists Dawson.
"From my point of view the two lads and the management are aware of exactly what transpired from late Saturday night until Sunday morning.
"However that is all history now and we move forward."
But there is no doubt that the matter has left a sour taste in the mouth with officials "disappointed" that Scullion invoked the media to outline the reasons for the non-involvement of himself and Tómas McCann in the game.
Michael McCann, who has rendered outstanding service to Antrim since his introduction to the squad and has often been hailed as man of the match on occasions when the Saffrons were beaten, withdrew from the squad recently ostensibly for business reasons.
Dawson, meanwhile, continues to take stock of his playing pool and the chances are that amendments will be made for the championship.
And he admits that inconsistency proved his team's downfall in the league.
"We were disappointed to draw with Fermanagh and Wicklow but we still felt that we could stay in the promotion hunt.
"But when we lost our next two games we hit a low point," concedes Dawson.

Thanks Ank. I think it is because so many of the buildings are built of the local stone, (though don't quote me on that), but certainly Lecce stone is one of the exported products along with olive oil and wine.
Beautiful Lorna, what I have noticed in Lecce is that all the buildings have the same color. Mostly in Italy all buildings have different colors.
Thanks Pat.
Love it .... thanks for the tour ...
You are welcome pumpkin and Cathy!
Yes, thank you Lorna. My list of places to visit is growing!!!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
It was just a week Laura, staying in 3 places; Lecce, Matera and Vieste.
How long was your tour, Lorna? I would like to do that one of these days.
