CHARLESTON, S.C. – Charleston Southern delivered a complete effort to roll past Presbyterian, 68-51, in the first round of the Big South Championship Tuesday at the Buc Dome. CSU led wire-to-wire and by as many as 22 points to record its eighth win in ten games and earn a date with top-seeded UNC Asheville in Thursday's quarterfinals.
Big South Championship Bracket
A third consecutive stingy defensive performance and balanced scoring powered the Bucs. CSU (15-15) held Presbyterian (11-21) to 16 first half points while forcing 11 turnovers to build a nine-point halftime advantage. Paced by Ty Jones and Cortez Mitchell, the Bucs then kicked their offense into gear in the second half, attacking the Blue Hose zone and assisting nine of their 15 field goals while shooting 56 percent. Phlandrous Fleming Jr.'s three-pointer gave CSU a 12-point lead at the 16:06 mark and PC never came closer than ten the rest of the way.
Fleming sandwiched another three around a Christian Keeling triple and layup to spark an 8-0 spurt and give CSU its largest edge, 62-40, with 3:56 remaining. Barclay Radebaugh was able to empty his bench in the final minute as the Bucs mostly cruised to a convincing victory. PC had defeated CSU in Charleston on Jan. 24 and battled the Bucs to the wire in Clinton just two-and-a-half weeks ago.
"I thought in the second half, our team played like a good team plays," Radebaugh said. "We systematically put this game away and that's how a good team performs and handles their business. It started on the defensive end in the first half, where we terrific – absolutely terrific. Then in the second half, I thought we attacked offensively with calmness and rhythm which was really good to see."
Next up for CSU is a stern challenge at regular season champion Asheville. The Bucs took the Bulldogs to overtime only nine days ago. CSU and Asheville, at 7-2, shared the Big South's best record over the back half of league play.
"We bring a lot of confidence and we'll play a team with a lot of confidence," Radebaugh said of a 20-win Asheville club. "They're the regular season champions and they earned every bit of it. It'll be a tremendous challenge for us and we're looking forward to it."
How It Happened
- A smothering defensive showing allowed CSU to control the first half despite shooting just 35.5 percent. CSU held PC scoreless for nine minutes at one point during a 7-0 spurt that produced a 21-11 lead with 4:27 left.
- Ty Jones tallied ten points in the opening stanza to help pick up the slack for second team all-conference performer Christian Keeling, who went to the bench after picking up his second foul at the 12:37 mark. Jones scored six consecutive points to provide CSU its largest first half lead, 25-12, with 2:19 remaining.
- PC was able to stay within striking distance early in the second half, closing the gap to 36-26 on J.C. Younger's driving score with 13:08 left. CSU took over from there, outscoring the Blue Hose 26-14 over the ensuing 9:12. Travis McConico helped jumpstart that stretch with a three and a put back. Javis Howard added a rare trey – just the seventh of his career – as the Bucs received contributions from up and down the roster.
Inside the Numbers
- The 16 points CSU allowed in the first half are the fewest it has surrendered in a half to a Division I opponent this season.
- Keeling became just the fifth player in Big South history to reach 1,000 career points as a sophomore. He now has 1,007 in 58 games. The Augusta, Ga., product joins Andrew Rowsey (UNC Asheville), John Brown (High Point), Chris Clemons (Campbell) and MaCio Teague (Asheville) as the only players to accomplish the feat.
- Ty Jones was the definition of efficient, notching a career-high 17 points on 8-for-9 shooting.
- Mitchell continued his stellar play by filling out the stat sheet with 13 points, a career-high eight assists and seven rebounds. The seven boards matched a career high.
- Jordan Jones continued a remarkable five-game scoring run with 12 points. Jones has scored in double figures in four of his last five games after doing so just once in the first 54 games of his career.
- Fleming and Keeling chipped in nine points apiece. Keeling saw his double-digit scoring streak came to an end at 37 games but did hit several timely shots to help CSU create distance.
- PC point guard Davon Bell tallied 15 of his 23 points in the second stanza to pace all scorers. CSU limited Reggie Dillard, an honorable mention all-conference pick and the league's tenth-leading scorer, to ten points on 4-for-13 shooting.
Up Next
CSU, the No. 8 seed, meets No. 1 seed UNC Asheville in Thursday's Big South Championship Quarterfinals. Tipoff at Kimmel Arena in Asheville, N.C., is slated for 7 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on ESPN3.

Wedding ceremony etiquette can vary by religion and the level of formality of the wedding. To keep things simple for you (one of the few things that can be kept simple in wedding planning!) below is a step by step guide to a traditional process.
Wedding Etiquette Processional
• The ushers take their seats.
• The parents of the bride take their seats at the front of the ceremony venue.
• The parents of the groom take their seats at the front of the ceremony venue.
• The priest and groom enter from a side door at the front of the room and stand near the altar.
• The bridesmaids and groomsmen walk down the aisle; if the bridesmaids are walking down alone, the groomsmen will enter the room with the priest and groom. Whomever enters first stands the furthest away from the altar, with the women going to the left and the men to the right (this dates back to ancient times so a man would have his right hand available to fight, if needed – ah, the days of chivalry; they were always prepared!).
• The maid of honor and best man walk down the aisle. Again, if the women are walking down alone, the best man will enter when the groom does. The best man and maid of honor will be the closest to the groom and bride.
• The flower girl walks down the aisle.
• The ring bearer walks down the aisle.
• "Here Comes the Bride" begins playing. The guests should stand at this time.
• The bride and her father (or whomever is giving her away; this can include both parents) walk down the aisle.
• The bride's father stands with her until the priest asks who is giving the bride away. The usual response is, "Her mother and I." This is still the norm even in divorced families.
• The father will take his seat at the front of the ceremony. The guests will sit at this time, too.
• The maid of honor takes the bride's bouquet, the bride and groom clasp hands, the guests pull out their hankies and the ceremony begins!

Marshall "Duffy" Duffield has lived in Newport Beach his entire life. He started building boats here in 1970. And he spent 10 years on the Harbor Commission.
The Duffy Electric Boat Co. chief recently received his plaque of appreciation regarding his commission service, which ended this year. The day after, the Newport Beach City Council rewarded him by voting to potentially tax him out of business — at least over time.
Here's how. At a council meeting last month, lame duck Councilman Steve Rosansky tried to empathize with the freeloading, gift-receiving commercial dock owners by telling them that "a new paradigm has been developed for Newport Beach. Some business may go away, some will change their operations," and that his "own business (a Togo's in Orange) had dropped by 30%; it's just the way it is sometimes."
At a special council meeting Sept. 12, he, along with Councilmen Ed Selich, Mike Henn and Rush Hill, voted to charge commercial marina operators up to 20% of their gross income as rent (a tax).
The tax increase will be phased in over eight years, with no significant increase the first year. However, by year eight, if "Duffy" earns $1 from a boat rental, he could owe the city upward of 20 cents, give or take a few pennies, before he can pay one penny to himself.
The city is going to develop an index of marinas and average 20% of their gross income to come up with the exact formula, so the tax increase could be ultimately be a few points less, but nevertheless this is a new burden for local business owners.
The ridiculousness of Rosansky's statement is that his business, as well as most every one of the speakers who showed up to the City Council Chambers, is suffering because the economy is tough, not because their local city is imposing a new tax on longtime established businesses.
How and why did this happen?
Let's start with why. The city pays for harbor- and beach-related services from its special Tidelands budget. The city's $200,000-a-year lifeguards are paid from this budget, as well as police and firefighters, so as long as their work pertains to the beach and harbor. The city is required by the state to charge fair-market rates to businesses that benefit from the waterfront locations.
George Hamilton Jones, a nationally renowned and honored appraiser originally hired by the city, wrote that market rates would be 9.5% of gross income.
Then enter a second consultant.
"The appraisal received from James Netzer concluded that commercial marinas, both large and small, in Newport Harbor should have a minimum fair market rent of $1.45 per square foot of tidelands against 20.0% of the gross revenue from slip rental fees if the tidelands were not joined (same ownership) with uplands," according to the city staff report on the issue. "If the uplands and tidelands were joined, the amount should be 25% of gross slip revenue."
The formula developed includes what I find to be strange qualifiers, such as public bathroom access.
"Further, in other jurisdictions, the uplands is owned by the city … and the justification for taking a percentage of gross can be justified since the government would provide parking, restrooms and public access … there is no justification for this intrusion," former Mayor Todd Ridgeway wrote.
The last time I was at Duffy Boats, I don't remember seeing city-managed bathrooms or parking, and I think I remember Duffy telling me that the bulkheads he installed himself cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars.
But that's not how the council majority saw it, is it?
They just see the $200,000 a year lifeguards — who were shown this week on "Inside Edition" — and then they try to figure out how they are going to pay exorbitant salaries and big fat pensions, which make up $20.3 million of the $25 million Tidelands Fund.
Good luck getting these businesses back after they are taxed out of town.
Welcome to Newport Beach, now go pay your tax at the new Taj Mahal.

Layout: Detailed | Simple
Summary: Freddy 18 has a deft hand with the camera, and an even defter hand at finding hot twink friends getting nasty with each other. While you don't see Freddy very often, you do get to see a lot of cute amateur twinks with fun and carefree attitudes. The bonuses do help this out immensely, and you might want to wait until it has grown some more.
Summary: Twinks for Cash offers up HD twink gay for pay porn that tackles the question of just how much you need to pay the straight guy before he'll start sucking dick. The collection is a good size, the video quality is good with the latest, and the bonus network is worthwhile as well. The only big failing is the quality of the older videos, along with the inability to download them. It's a solid site overall, though.
Summary: Boys Love 18 looks on as these fresh faced college twinks start their sexual explorations with each other. The amateurs don't seem to mind the camera too much, and they go at it with gusto. As hot as that sounds, there are plenty of issues with this site that make it one to pass up. The collection is somewhat large, but with so many twink sites out there they need more than that, and they don't really give it. Add that to no updates and a useless bonus network and you see where the problem is.
Summary: Wicked Twinks needs a lot of work before it's going to make someone grab their dick in surprise. The 'HD' videos need to actually be HD quality, the site could use a lot more personality and the collection needs to be bigger and stronger.

By Gautam Viswanathan : Summer in the Middle East normally brings with it soaring temperatures, but for hotels high up in Jabal Akhdar, it marks the beginning of the summer tourism season.
With temperatures in Jabal Akhdar being significantly lower than the rest of the country this time of year, both Anantara and Alila Jabal Akhdar have laid on special offers, as they attempt to woo visitors from the Sultanate and the rest of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). "A few days ago, the temperatures went down to as low as 10 degrees here," said Angel Al Araimi, marketing manager for Alila Jabal Akhdar.
"With the rest of the Middle East being so hot right now, I am sure people would appreciate the much cooler temperatures we have in the mountains at this time of year.
"We have introduced a '15 Degrees Cooler' campaign that runs from May to September, and it allows all GCC residents to book rooms at our hotel for just OMR99 a day," she added. "This includes breakfast and dinner, and a 15 per cent discount on all amenities at our hotel. We have this offer every summer, and even now, we receive more than 100 inquiries a day, and about 20 or 30 of them translate into bookings, so this is good for us."
Perched on the Saiq Plateau, more than 2,000 metres above sea level, the hotels are a two-hour drive away from Muscat, and command impressive views of Oman's Al Hajar mountain range, characterised by steep canyons and a rugged but panoramic scenery.
Anantara opened its hotel on the Green Mountain in October 2016, as part of the Sultanate's efforts to boost tourism in the nation and diversify the economy, and they too are looking forward to welcoming visitors to their resort this summer. Starting next week, the hotel will be running a 'Beat the Heat' campaign, which offers guests up to 30 per cent discounts on rooms and other amenities, such as wadi hikes, rock climbing, via ferrata, mountain biking and spa treatments.
"Summers in the Middle East normally mean vacation time, and we have something for every member of the family," said Firas Rashid, director of Sales and Marketing. "The weather factor sets us apart, because across the GCC, temperatures rise to about 50 degrees, with 80 per cent humidity, but as you climb up the mountain, temperatures become about 15 or 20 degrees lower with zero humidity."
"Last night, I left the hotel at 8pm and the temperature was 19 degrees and it was 42 degrees when I arrived in Muscat, so it gets even cooler at night," he added, speaking to the Times of Oman.
"We are using this period to promote domestic tourism and are keen on seeing visitors from our neighbours in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, as well as the rest of the GCC."
Although some hoteliers might feel the arrival of Ramadan would herald a drop in visitor numbers, Rashid believes this will not be the case in Jabal Akhdar.
"I understand that Ramadan is normally a time for families to be together and meet each other, especially during the first week, but we are expecting more people to visit us during the second week of the Holy Month, because it is actually easier to fast on the mountain, because you will get a lot less thirsty here," he explained. "We have some great iftar offerings for everyone, so we are excited to see what this summer brings."

The reason for using a basket weave selvedge is to keep your edges neat and even and to avoid having to use floating selvedge threads. Their beauty is that as you throw the shuttle back and forth, your weft catches the edge thread of your woven piece on each throw. Another reason for using the basket weave selvedge, rather than just a plain weave selvedge (using only two shafts) is that plain weave selvedges take up differently than your main pattern and will give you a ruffled edge, whereas basketweave seems to truck along nicely at the same take up as the rest of your piece. One of the pitfalls in using this treatment on everything you weave is that it uses up four of your precious shafts.
The very first thing you need to think about when trying to add this selvedge treatment is that a basket weave selvedge not only needs four extra shafts, but four picks as well. The biggest mistake that I have made is thinking I have four shafts for my pattern and four shafts for the selvedge. But, if I am weaving with a point treadling my sequence will be 1-2-3-4-3-2 which has six picks. I can manage to weave this if I have a table loom and put my draft into a liftplan or I might be able to work out a more complicated treadling sequence with my floor loom, but it's going to be awkward. Everything needs to end up with a treadling sequence that is a multiple of four so in my example above, the minimum treadling sequence is going to be 12 (which is divisible by 6 - the pattern treadling and 4 the selvedge treadling).
Once you have decided that your pattern choice is going to work and you are going to proceed, it becomes more straight forward. I usually put my selvedge threads on the last four shafts, but when working with a multishaft loom, sometimes I put them on the front four shafts for easier repairs should a warp thread break. (This was a tip given by Allen Fannin on Weavetech many years ago).
The example below shows the threads on the last four shafts which have been colored blue in the warp. (Half the threads are on the right side and the other half are on the left side.) I have used five threads to make the floats smaller between the interior pattern and the selvedge threads, but you can just use four on each side if you like. Notice the tie up on the last four shafts. In this example the treadling is a repeat of 8, so the tie up for the basket weave is repeated twice. Also, the threading for this example makes it necessary that you start throwing your shuttle from the right side. You can see that if you started throwing from the left side, you wouldn't pick up the edge thread and nothing would work right after that! I always keep my selvedge threads in this threading configuration so that I always throw my shuttle on the first pick at the right side of the warp.
The best description of selvedge treatments (that I have found) is in the book Handloom Weaving Technology by Allen Fannin. It is on pages 264 & 265. The book is fairly technical, but does have other things that will interest handweavers. If you are interested, used copies are fairly inexpensive.
After this post was published, another weaver friend pointed out that Peggy Osterkamp discusses the same topic in her book Weaving and Drafting Your Own Cloth on pages 88 & 89. She refers to this selvedge treatment as "tape selvedges" and also 2/2 hopsack weave. Peggy's book is crammed with information for weavers and would make a good addition to your weaving library.

Who to you is a 'real German' (or anything else)?
Tell us: Who to you is a 'real German' (or Spaniard, Brit, Canadian, or anything else!)
In this chapter, you've been given a lot of food for thought on identity and belonging as it is understood on the personal and academic levels in Europe, Canada, and beyond. This is a topic that has likely hit home for many of you who may or may not be tied to particular borders, have questions or concerns about who belongs in your society, or may still be unsure about the whole thing. The 'Us' & 'Them' course community would love to hear from you:
Here are some guiding questions to draw from:
- What do you think the criteria should be for becoming a 'real' citizen or resident of your country?
- What makes you a 'real' anything? (German, American, Spaniard, Turk, etc.)?
- Do you see a cognitive vs. emotional dissonance in the way your society sees immigration, belonging, citizenship, etc.?
- How do you identify with the word 'multiculturalism'? Do you see yourself or your society as multicultural?
- Who is represented as nationals or residents of your country in public life?
- How do politicians and public figures in your society or country portray multiculturalism? As a good, bad, or normal thing? What about schools and museums?
- What type of language do you use to talk about the 'Other' or what kind of language do you prefer others use in reference to you? (e.g. migration background vs. migration history, 'Turkish-German' or 'German with Turkish roots', etc.)
Now what?
Click 'Start in Journal', and fill out the entry. How you do this is up to you: You can use just words, or add pictures or links to articles or videos to highlight your point!
Is this journal assignment required?
No! Nothing in our course is 'required', and there are no grades, but we encourage you to reflect on these topics and share if you feel comfortable, so that others in the course can benefit from your experiences.
Who is a "real American"?
This discussion is going on all the time in the US as well. In the US, the discussion tends to center around who came to the country legally (with papers) and who did not. If you don't have papers, the law will always consider you an outsider--even if you have been living in the country for decades, even if you follow the rules and pay your taxes and raise a family there. And people will still refer to you as a criminal, even if you have never committed any crime other than overstaying your visa.
In the US, immigrants can become citizens after entering the country legally, living there for a certain amount of time, learning English, and taking a test about American history and civics. Most people would agree that becoming a citizen makes an immigrant a "real American". But at the same time, many of those people might still continue to see that person as an outsider, especially if they don't see them as sharing American cultural values.
Personally, I tend to think that borders should be more open than they are, and that anyone who lives in the US and wants to be a "real American" should be one. But it isn't always that easy.
Thank you for sharing your comment Sara! In our further chapters Irene is talking about the different approaches between the US and Canada to how immigrants are viewed and integrated - I hope you find this interesting. Julia
Seconding Julia's comment on thanking you for your contribution, Sara. I think the situation undocumented immigrants face in the United States is a very interesting one that is not often connected to the European conversation, though there are parallels. We've including some of the American perspective on race in our resources but not yet anything specifically on the undocumented. Do you have any suggestions for our 'Additional Materials' section (journalistic or academic article, podcast, short video, website, project etc.) that might incorporate this perspective better into the Us & Them discussion?
Sara! Could you please tell us what the laws specifically mentioned on who is a citizen or not. Here in Ghana, most celebrities prefer having their children in either the USA or UK because they will be deemed nationals of those countries; is that the law?.
On the other hand, can an American have a dual citizenship? If yes, does it come with some limitations to the person in public life that is to say, to work in the public service?
Sara! The visa lottery which automatically makes the winners citizen of America; does this people have the same rights as the citizens? Do they face any form of segregation since this mostly are from the developing countries; multi coloured people?
Hello! Thanks for your comments and questions.
About birth citizenship: If a baby has at least one American citizen parent, he/she will be a citizen no matter where in the world they are born. Also, any baby born in the US is a citizen, even if the parents are not American citizens and even if the parents don't have legal visas. So we have many mixed-status families where the children are citizens but the parents are not.
About dual citizenship: Yes, I believe it is possible for Americans to be dual citizens in some circumstances but I don't know much about it. In most situations and in most jobs, having dual citizenship would not be a problem. Most of the time no one would ask. But it might be a problem in some government jobs, for example ones that require a high level security clearance.
About the visa lottery: The visa lottery grants visas, not citizenship. So a person who wins the visa lottery would be allowed to come and live in the US as a legal resident. They would be allowed to get a job and live normally. But if the person wanted to become a citizen, they would need to stay for a certain number of years and then take the citizenship test. After that, they would have the same rights as any American citizen.
About segregation: There is no legal segregation anymore, but I'm sorry to say that racism is still a problem in many places. It's changing, but slowly.
Thank you Sara

I am focusing on an internet-application and want to determine the easiest method to host it. I am searching to reduce "Total Price of Possession," but it is more essential to maintain hosting costs low than labor costs during my situation.
Potentially, at some point, it'll grow quite large (when it comes to user-base) with high-traffic but, obviously, it'll begin pretty small.
So, will it seem sensible to begin having a low-finish vps hosting plan, grow the server slice until it stops being cheaper than running my very own servers, after which buy servers and assemble them in a colocation provider, with the discomfort of moving everything,
Buy my very own server, arrange it in a colo provider, and waste the majority of the server chance to start, but lessen the discomfort in scaling from promising small to large considerably?
Has anybody attempted these two options? Exist benefits and drawbacks at night ones I am thinking about?
Addendum: Just suggestion, but a hosting that is shared account most likely wouldn't work, since I have to run persistent processes and access such things as sendmail configuration files. I am searching at whether VPS or my very own server(s).
I'd recommend using a VPS account. I have had clients who've spent many 1000's of dollars and numerous hrs looking to get an ideal devoted hosting atmosphere setup after which never came near to requiring it's capacity.
With VPS, as lengthy as you apply the virtualization technology you want to stay with, it ought to be super easy emigrateOrduplicate the entire "server" to an alternative devoted box if needed.
If you want SQL Server, I'd recommend beginning having a Shared SQL Server instead of buying a complete SQL Server license or using SQL Express.
At first you'll really discover that scaling a VPS option would be far, far simpler and much more flexible than scaling on physical boxes. Personally I personally use and would recommend Slicehost. You may create and destroy new slices quickly to try out new ideas or prototype something and you are only charged for which you utilize. You may also instantly scale a slice by improving to another gain levels in a few minutes your box expires using the new CPU and memory allocations and also the price is prorated.
I suggest Slicehost since they're developer-centric and therefore are a real great couple of men.
When you grow big enough to outgrow your VPS farm (that will require sometime, believe me, these VPS's could be pretty beefy nowadays) you will have enough cash to bother with moving to some physical platform.
Begin small. Yes, some scaling head aches, but when you need to prevent them completely, make use of a Platform like a Service (cloud) company rather than hosting everything yourself.
Statistically, most projects fail, and also the added expenses will not enhance your chances. Even extremely popular and enormous services have a problem earning money. Website hosts largely make their cash from the gap between your hopes for a person and the matter that follows.
So, pragmatically, start located/shared to help you focus on the technology you are developing, instead of on maintaining an online box, and ascend the tiers because the project gains customers/clients.
I do not speak from experience, though, aside from getting dreams that do not end up with far.
Register the domain seperate in the hosting provider somewhere it is simple to move the DNS admission to another location.
Opt for hosting that is shared, assuming it outgrows the hosting that is shared then cope with the recognition by choosing VPS / Devoted server.
Why hosting that is shared:
I'd purchase a devoted box, from the company like serverpronto, when you out of trouble-grow them proceed to a colo, which if done correctly is going to be mostly painless.

Oil prices range-bound in near term: NYMEX trader
Mar. 5 - GRZ Energy's Anthony Grisanti says oil will trade in a range of $105 - $110 a barrel in the short term, but any news out of Iran could send prices to new highs above $150/barrel.
Recognized expert like. Until it by Anthony on Lebanon near Anthony's going higher here. I think it's kind of mixed right now works on you've got a difference in economic news coming out right now -- -- GDP -- lower job manufacturing. So right now I think we're very raised bouncing between models excellence and a lot what was once. Or any kind of in an incident with that ran Israel I ran something that happens along those lines -- went -- about one and probably a lot higher than that how much of a lot. I could see if some incident happens where Israel attacks Iran Agassi won fifty a couple of days -- Ohio it's got its own yeah absolutely what. And you think it's a 1:15 -- reaction and felt slower weren't they are -- and a half higher levels -- talk about it. I think it's 150 as we kind of you don't evaluate the situation and certainly if there's and disruption in oil through the straits of Hormuz you can look at 200. Dollars within a couple days from -- What the market when the out of this meeting with President Obama and Netanyahu from his goals. Well the market you know all over the overall what. CP saying they wanna see some kind of agreement made between Iran and Israel but it really I I think we're really grasping at straws looking for that self. What we do wanna see though is some coherent strategy about what we're seeing out of my order and -- and October 10 grand -- whether that's an economics whether that's tough sanctions whether that's. -- the -- right now are using heavy volume -- yeah. Institutional what you. I've seen less volume than normally I think a lot of players on the sidelines and wait for the other issue in my droplets it looks like ETFs hedge -- things like that where. Obama. I think you're gonna see it as a problem. Yeah right now and don't mind that nothing happens when I ran it well. -- between qualified once had an -- levels we're at right now that's right not but yeah. They may not put it there's certain areas of the country are definitely will say close because of refinery problems at refineries shut down things like that yeah. Really this is gasoline is rent lease on the price of parental rights while not quite WTI provided by -- you see Brian -- you're gonna see the products rally ask him any you know. Back to that iPod and number you mentioned 200 dollars putting out options -- isn't gonna go in and Ohio oil price. I'm sure they have all the I don't train that part of the market but I'm sure that -- -- arguing themselves -- that keeping everybody right. I don't think anybody has surprised him because there's a lot of people the situation. And CNET did not gonna happen in Atlanta Israel all parties that at all. Becomes you know when that time comes but right now a lot of rhetoric a lot of talk politics it's got off. Couple hundred. Obviously. When I look at I ran an odd looking probably about fifteen to twenty dollars. A premium on oil because of the situation so if it come out odds say well you always -- there's agreement they're not gonna do nuclear program. -- you see -- immediately dropped at 1520 dollars it's like it's see 1995 dollars at that point and it's not eating problems affecting much.

We'd be delighted to help you plan your bus trip in and around Nundle and Hanging Rock.
Nundle is one of those "must-see" places. A little gem in the New England-North West Region. Bus tours to the Tamworth Region often include a day or two to Nundle, Hanging Rock and the Trout Farm.
Catering for groups of up to 30 people at a time, we provide meals combined with a tour or morning and afternoon teas with tasting plates and a tour. Booking is essential.
As we are a working farm, it is important to know what to expect. We do not have a polished well-oiled tourism machine to offer visitors. However what you can expect is genuine country hospitality, great food and surroundings that many visitors call "a piece of paradise". We take pride in the awards we have achieved for our trout and trout products and we will gladly show you the natural environment that helps us produce such a good product.
Some typical tours are:
Available from 8:00 a.m. - our typical breakfast menu is fresh fruit juice, toast, scrambled egg with smoked trout, tea and coffee. This is preceded or followed by a tour of the farm, including feeding the trout and/or a demonstration and video of some of the processes in the factory. The popularity of this option is due to bus operators being able to be in Nundle to continue with the attractions as they open at about 10:00 a.m. Packages from $25.00pp, (one guide and driver at no charge). 15 people MINIMUM BOOKING.
Our typical lunch menu includes warm whole smoked trout with fresh garden salad, fruit platter, tea and coffee. This is preceded or followed by a tour of the farm, including feeding the trout and/or a demonstration and video of some of the processes in the factory. Packages from $30.00pp (one guide and driver at no charge) 15 people MINIMUM BOOKING.
From $10.00 per person we will provide tea or coffee and a tasting plate of our products. This can be with (extra $5 per person) or without a guided tour of the farm; 15 people MINIMUM BOOKING.
We are at Hanging Rock, about 20 minutes from Nundle. The drive winds up the mountain and the views are spectacular. There is about 6km of unsealed road which is well maintained by Tamworth Regional Council.
Thing to see on the way to or from the Trout Farm include:
Sheba Dams, constructed by Chinese miners in the Gold Rush days (now a camping and recreation area), Hanging Rock Cemetary with the Ashtons Memorial, Hanging Rock lookout, original and restored miner's and pioneer cottages, blackberries in season (late January into February), beautiful hills, mountain-top and valley views of prize winning beef farming land. In winter you may even see snow!

Well, I decided to sell my little parcel of land and downgrade my account from premium. I enjoyed owning it and creating the garden but now I've moved on. I guess I was fed up with the ban lines that kept appearing around the sim so I offered it to a neighbour who was expanding his holdings and he was happy to accept. I didn't lose any money on it … which is a rare occurrence in SL, I gather!
So now this fox is just chilling out for the summer – maybe I'll see you around in Sl sometime?

Design is the art of considered creation. As designers, our goal is to satisfy the diverse spectrum of human needs. As those needs evolve, so too must our designs, practices, and philosophies.
We challenged ourselves to create a visual language for our users that synthesizes the classic principles of good design with the innovation and possibility of technology and science. The result is material design: a cross-platform design system grounded in tactile reality, inspired by our study of paper and ink, yet open to imagination and magic.

Tar and Pitch
Pumping liquid tar and pitch with zero leakage and reduced maintenance
The pumps used have to be heated and have wear resistant bearings.
Tar is often transported in ships. The pumps on board bring the tar to the storage tank from which it is pumped to the distillation towers where it is fragmented. During the process about half the tar ends up as pitch.
Pitch is among others used to produce electrodes for the aluminium industry. Normally the pitch is circulated in a ringmain by means of a 6" pump and from the ring main the pitch is dosed by a 2" to 3" pump through a mass-flow meter to the mixers. The dosing pumps are frequency controlled.
This looks like a simple system but there are lots of details that have to be correct to avoid damage to the pumps. Koppers Denmark A/S are specialists in constructing pitch systems where ROTAN® magnetically driven pumps with bearings in solid tungsten carbide are used. ROTAN® pumps are used for these applications in Europe, South Africa and the Middle East. If you are planning to build a system where pitch has to be pumped, be sure that you involve only experienced specialists in the erection of the system.
Tar and pitch have cancerous vapour thus a seal-free pump should be used for these liquids. Both liquids are pumped at elevated temperatures and contain abrasive coke.
In the following we shall go over some of the design "details". A fine system should be build quite like this:
The storage tank is to be heated at the bottom. The suction is placed at the centre of the tank and the suction pipe is traced the whole way to the suction hole. The pump is heated to max. 230°C (could be a separate system).
If tracing and insulation are optimal you do not need heat transfer oil at a temperature higher than 250°C. anywhere in the system. (In this way you do not have any "hot spots" creating extra coke). The circulation pumps are doubled and each pump has a strainer with sufficient surface to avoid cavitation. The strainer has 3 mm holes. There is no strainer before the dosing pumps.
Just to describe how sensitive the system is:
If the tracing around a valve is incorrectly a possible "cold spot" that could create lumps or make a restriction for the flow. We have experienced a system where the magnets were not strong enough to transmit the torque as part of the pipe system on the pressure side was not sufficiently insulated or the heating system was not good enough. We could start the pump at 10 Hz and let it run for some minutes (during this time the "cold spot" was heated and the pipe had a full flow value).
After this we could start the pump at 50 Hz without problems. Of course pipe dimensions should always be calculated according to normal practice for pumps.
Pumps used for pitch should be EDXXXEDK-1U88 equipped with max. number of samarium cobalt magnets (just to allow some small errors in the pipe system). The heating connections should be flanged, as it is impossible to make a tight thread. No threaded plugs!!
Even a minor thing like heating the system in the correct way may cause serious problems.
If you start the procedure by heating the pump (you may think this was a good idea, as the distance to the centre of the pump is rather big compared to the surrounding pipe system), the liquid in the pump and the pipe close to the pump starts to expand and the liquid cannot escape as the pipes are 'frozen' in both suction and pressure side of the pump. The result may then be as shown in pictures!
You have to heat the suction pipe from the tank to the suction of the pump. After this you can heat the pump, and finally the pressure pipe from the pump and out.
If a pump with a large volume and a maximum of 150 RPM was selected, internal friction in the pump would also be reduced to a minimum.

Tecno launched one of its premium products recently which took the African countries by storm. The product is nothing but Tecno Phantom 5 smartphone. This smartphone made some news in countries like Kenya and Nigeria. The looks of Tecno Phantom 5 are quite decent. Many tech bloggers say that the looks of this smartphone are much better than any of the previous products released by Tecno. So, in that regard, many are saying that this phone is the very first premium quality released by Tecno.
Phantom 5 is the only smartphone from Tecno with the latest version of android operating system installed. All of its previous smartphones had outdated operating system versions. The other specifications of Tecno Phantom 5 are pretty good too. It comes with 32gb internal storage space. However, it cannot be expanded. It has a 1.5 GHz Octa Core processor, 3GB Ram and 5.5-inch display screen. The battery capacity of 3000mAh is also an improvement. These specifications really look good, at least on paper. However, it remains to be seen whether these specifications translate on to good performance in the both short and long run.

Nose-picking in the Upper Deck
But not always.
Sometimes, the people at Upper Deck would get very, very lazy. They had products to put out, and not always the time and energy to think them through, apparently. Here are a few examples from the boxes I opened lately :
Let's start with 99 MVP. Not my favorite product, but it was cheap enough, and I liked the base cards from what I'd seen on my computer screen. Collation was terrible, and I don't understand how they put the cards in their packs. Supposedly, you get 10 cards per pack, 36 packs per box. I've never been really good at math, but I'm quite sure there should be 360 cards in a box.
I got 383.
Some packs had 7 cards, others up to 15. It simply did not make sense. Maybe they beefed up some packs in honor of Marc McGwire being pictured on the box.
The names on the side are a pain to read, by the way. Since they were in a hurry to put that one out, they used the silver signature parallel again, Great idea, but they still belong to Collector's Choice. I wasn't collecting at the time, but maybe MVP is supposed to be the new Collector's Choice, with a low SRP.
This year's theme was Foil & Circles.
Lots of foil. (the 90s...)
Lots of circles.
Nice looking cards though.
More foil & circles.
Same design, different name, same foil, same circles.
They got rid of circles there, but kept the foil. And the same picture on the back as on the front. Lazy lazy.
Next up, 2001 UD Decade of the 70s.
I was really looking forward to opening those packs, as I'd gotten a Blue Jay card from that set in a trade and instantly loved it. I don't know what I expected, all I know is that I was very disappointed.
I thought all cards would look like that :
Colorful with a name that doesn't even make sense (why would players wear Bellbottomed pants ?), but stil fun.
Instead, I got the same photo on subsets and base cards. Photos often blurry. I know it was the 70s, but I'm pretty sure there are plenty of great photos to chose from, just look at the Topps base sets from that era !
More of the same photos. And Reggie Jackson must have been the Mike Trout of that set, because :
7 cards of Mr October from the same box. And collation was also an issue there, which means there might be more ! I'm way too lazy to check. I can really relate.
That set was also an excuse to produce Bob Clemente cards.
And as many Munson cards as possible (again with the same photo cropped differently).
Finally, I present to you 2007 Upper deck series 2.
A real swing and a miss if you ask me. I couldn't find one single interesting photo to scan and show off. Usually, I get in a frenzy with Upper Deck base, with so many cards to show and ooohs and aaaahs everywhere. Not this time. The design is bland and uneventful and there are hardly any action shots at all. Blah.
I don't even feel like scanning those straight.
It took me a few seconds to realize that those were two different cards.
The silver lining came from that Vladdy relic. Always nice to catch a Vladdy relic.
As much as I enjoy making fun of card manufacturers, the other boxes I opened were pretty cool, so we'll look into that soon !

I think I may have some Vlad's if you are interested....ReplyDelete
Perhaps you had to grow up in the '70s, but I LOVE Upper Deck Decade '70s! I'm trying to complete the whole set. Been kinda sidetracked on it, but hope to pick up the quest again soon.ReplyDeleteReplies
I just feel that it was a great idea, but only half executed ! Let me know what cards you're missing and I'll send some out to youDelete
I'm also a fan of the UD '70s set, but, as you mentioned there are a lot of recycled and grainy photos. Still, "Disco Era Dandies" is one of my favorite insert sets ever. And there are quite a few nice base cards, a checklist that includes a lot of guys who didn't receive a ton of recognition in the hobby after they retired.ReplyDeleteReplies
I was in a "let's make fun" mood, but the one thing I forgot to mention is that the base cards are nice and informative. I've learned a lot thanks to them.Delete
That disco Reggie is very cool. Never seen it!ReplyDelete
The "Disco Dandies" Reggie bugs me a little because the photo is from his double dip with the A's in 1987.. long after disco's heyday. But still a cool card.ReplyDelete
I have fond memories of bell-bottomed pants in the 70s. Still have a pair which are now also "flood" style since I'm a bit taller than in my jr high days! Disco Dandies - fun set! I have the base set in a binder. A colorful decade, if nothing else!ReplyDelete

A panel of constitutional experts appeared before the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday to testify on the ways in which President Obama may have abused his constitutional power.
Regarding the issue of overreach of the constitutional authority of the office of president, committee chairman Lamar Smith (R-TX) said, "The administration has repeatedly put its partisan agenda above the rule of law. In doing so, it has eroded the constitutional and legal foundation that have kept America prosperous and free for over 200 years."
Lori Windham, senior counsel to the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which has filed lawsuits on behalf of religious organizations and groups against the Obama administration's HHS contraception mandate, was a panel member. Windham testified that the administration's decision to require, under penalty, religious organizations to provide free contraceptives, sterilization procedures, and abortion-inducing drugs to its employees through their health insurance plans was part of a longer tradition by Obama of dismissing religious matters.
During the case Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. EEOC, heard by the Supreme Court, Windham observed, "I was not alone in my shock when the Obama administration's lawyers opposed our position by arguing that churches are no different than bowling clubs, and that our First Amendment guarantee of religious freedom does not protect religious organizations."
Though the high court ruled in favor of the religious organizations, Windham said a dangerous precedent had been set by the administration. "If the government can trample First Amendment freedoms, then none of our fundamental rights are secure," she said.

Day 31: Pretty Woman
Did you miss me? I missed me too! I have had a horrible start to the new year and well, its been very rough and I'm even unemployed! Oy! Some things, no RC can fix. I meant to write a couple weeks ago but couldn't get around to it through the tears and struggles. But here were are at an end. Not really cause there is hope! Hope that I will grab a new, flexible, great job. Hope that it will allow me to continue this diatribe on Romantic Comedies (because I have 24 in my collection alone as well as a Netflix membership and a willingness to take suggestions from you dear readers). Hope that it will pay all my bills and allow me to continue to go out there searching to be in one of these great Romantic Comedies. Hope that I'll be in one. Or at best, hope that I'll win the lottery and never really have to hope again!
So with that hope, this is not the end, but lets reflect a bit shall we? We've had 31 days of Romantic Comedies that at worst, distract us from our daily miserable lives and at best, define our very heart's desire. Why would a feminist like me love these oh-so-predictable stories where women are never complete without love? Maybe it was because like so many of us, I was weened on fairy tales. Maybe it was all that Barbie playing. Maybe its that I like a little escapism that horror and action really don't make me feel as warm and fuzzy afterward. Maybe its that there is a little truth to these movies (the struggle to find love, to find someone who sees you, understands you, completes you) but it comes in a palatable form. Maybe, like going to church having already read the bible, its the small variations on each theme that help me to understand love in a new way each time. Or maybe, and most likely, I'm just a damn sucker for a good romance because my heart and head are rarely based in this world of reality.
Oh so, here we are, the last day(well not really) and how appropriate is it that this one is the one that started it all. I was 14 years old and this movie was the first R movie I was allowed to see with my parents. And I soaked in every moment that wasn't covered by my mother's hand. Too many of us have worshiped this movie with out thinking it really through. We forget that this is NOT really the ideal love story (how many of us truly want to be a hooker with a heart of gold and get paid for a week to play a girlfriend to a rich over-worked man)but that is forgiven by all of us because of the chemistry between this great duo. And well... it's just a classic! And here it is, the one, the not so Only (I think the French did this plot first and they had the hooker die at the end, like they do- being french and enjoying the sorrow more)Pretty Woman:
Giddy: Well yes we have all the classic lines and awesome music that from the very opening moment to the very last scene, I'm Giddy!
Lie: Pssst... don't tell anyone but She's a Hooker!
Big Emotional Outburst: "I say who, I say when, I say WHO"
Dance Sequence: Well, one small one when she's trying on clothes but not really no,Oh but there is making love on top of a piano. "Your forgiven"
Wedding: Nope, but we have great montage of shopping for 80s clothes.
Rewatchable: Okay so, when I sat down to watch this movie I was SHOCKED to see scenes that weren't in there before. Did you remember that there was more to the date when she steals him away from work and they go back to the club looking for her other hooker friend and the Limo Driver has a gun that he uses to scare off a pimp? Or that after the dinner with the company he's about to take over, after the "Slippery little suckers" snail scene, she puts ketchup on her steak? I have been watching this movie on TV for 20 years and so it was a lovely little present to see the scenes they always cut out. Also did you know that Hank Azaria is in this movie? In the beginning after the classic lines "No We're From Orlando" (which in Orlando, when I saw this movie for the first time was A HUGE hit line)? So yes, I think I've proven my point about the rewatchable factor.
Love: Oh the "I picked up a hooker and she is actually not a crack addict or a messed up stupid ho that will never amount to anything but a beautiful smart woman that is JULIA ROBERTS and she's going to be the first woman to make me actually enjoy my life" kind of love.
Body Count: ONE! Skinny Marie!
Music Montages:Oh yes! And to this day, I still get teary at the one that starts when he's given her the diamonds to wear and they get on the plane for the Opera.
Strong Female: Yes, if you consider hooking (a career I might have to pursue in order to get me out of this debt and able to pay my bills- hey it's got to have flexible hours right?) and then turning down an incredible offer to be some guys ho for life because she has respect for herself. It's one thing to have sex with a guy for money, its another to do it long term. She's no gold digger!

The Trumpet Player …
These are Type 55 / Pos-Neg 4×5 Polaroid scans from the negative made back in the 1980's. I knew this guy and he had come in for a newsprint. After I finished with what he came in for, I asked if he would mind letting me take a few photos of him with this horn I had bought at an auction. I made the images on a Sinar 4×5 camera that I used for architectural photography and copy work. I have been looking for these negatives for several years and finally ran across them several weeks ago when I was cleaning out a storage room at my parent's house in Cordova Park. They were in very good condition, so I did not have to do much Photoshop cleaning the scratches and dust. Below is another from this sitting.
I scanned the film marks, so you could see the full frame. I bought several boxes of several different types of Polaroid sheet film before they went out of business. If anyone has any questions or comments, please let me hear them. Thanks for looking and have a Happy New Year!

And so, here we are...the start of a brand new year!
2010 was an interesting year. Moving back home, stepping back up to management, the loss of a relative, the creation of Blast Process...these things and others all contributed to this.
I've got many hopes and dreams for 2011, and although I've had ideas and plans for previous years that have failed to appear I'm still somewhat confident I can make the most out of this one. I'm a more happy, confident person compared to years previous...so this will be the year of Dave!
One of the things I'm aiming to do this year is write more on here, Blast Process and wherever else I can get my words posted.
I was lucky enough to get a new digital camcorder for Christmas so I'm going to get some hints and tips off Mike and Tom so that I can film and edit my own videos.
To kick start the year I've popped a new post up on Blast Process detailing 5 games that I'm looking forward to this year. You can check it out here.
I'd like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Franklin PUD customers targeted by scammers
Franklin PUD customers have been targeted in a scam with collection calls falsely claiming to be from the PUD.
Customers, particularly Hispanic-related businesses, are told their bill is past due and a PUD truck is standing by to turn off their power.
Franklin PUD does make courtesy collection calls after customers have received a "final notice" in their bill, but does not solicit by phone just for payment, the PUD said. If customers do make a payment by phone, the PUD gives them a confirmation code.

The hair piece I am going to wet set is relatively small but is quite long in length. I have never done a wet set on synthetic hair before however it did go quite well which surprised me! Here is how I did it..
First I secured the hair piece on a wig block designed to secure wigs on to in order to style them before fitting onto the head. I used four T pins for this hair piece as I wanted to secure it firmly to the block before styling the hair. It is important to count how many T pins you place onto the hair piece as you will need to count them as you remove them to ensure you have removed every single one as you don't want to apply the hair piece to your models head with the pins still in as I can imaging that would be extremely painful!
Once the hair piece was secure I then began brushing out the hair to smooth out the texture of the hair as some parts were wavy from a braid that had been left in the hair previously. I then sprayed the hair with a water bottle to smooth down any fly away hairs.
I then sectioned the hair off into inch thick pieces and created a pin curl by wrapping the hair around my fingers and then securing with two hair grips in a cross position. I sprayed each section with a little more water too to insure I get a good curl once the water was dry. I also used drawing pins to secure the curls onto the block to ensure they laid flat and didn't fall out during the night as this may alter the curl. I then gave the hair one last all over spray with water and left it over the weekend to dry completely.
Once I was sure the hair was completely dry I then removed the clips and released the curl and this was the result..
I wanted the curls to be a little softer so I decided to brush out the curls to see how it looked. This was the result…
Overall I am extremely happy with how the wet set turned out as the curls formed really well. From this experiment I now understand what I need to do in order to get this particular curl in synthetic hair. Although time consuming I think wet setting is a really good way to style synthetic hair as you can't expose synthetic hair to too much heat as it can melt the hair and can be quite dangerous. This hair piece is now more suitable for my Grecian Theater look.
Thanks for reading 🙂

We have started a small project to build a web-ROTI, that is an app that can be used to measure how good your meetings are. After one day of hacking we have a MVP.
Web-ROTI (Return On Time Invested) is a tool to gauge the time spent on meetings and improve them.
ROTI can easily be measured on whiteboard or paper but you are running the risk of getting a biased result when the voters see other votes. In Web-ROTI the vote is given without bias, as a bonus it calculates the average as well.
A vote is a number between 1 and 5
- A complete waste of time
- Not so good
- Break even, my gain is equal to the time spent
- Positive
- Superb, I could not have used this time better Continue reading »

Tarots of the Golden Dawn review by Bonnie Cehovet
(Please note: This deck is not in any way connected to the Golden Dawn group or the Golden Dawn Tarot by Robert Wang.)
This deck happened into my life in a very lovely way - as part of the generous gift package that Llewellyn presented to those who attended the 2003 Reader's Studio in New York City (sponsored by the Tarot School (Ruth Ann and Wald Amberstone) and Llewellyn Publications). It is a "majors only" presentation of this deck - there is a full 78 card version.
The cards are approximately 3" by 5 3/4" - a little difficult for smaller hands to handle. The card stock is good quality, but the cards are not coated in any manner, so extra care would need to be taken when using this deck. The reverse side of the cards is quite interesting - on one end we see a "U" sha... read more reviews.

These Aurors were waiting at King's Cross Station on 1 September, 1996 as a security escort for Harry Potter. Both were described as grim-faced and dressed as Muggles in dark suits.
