Bangladesh had won me over with their performance but this cry baby stuff has totally turned me off. You gave a good account of yourself, now don't ruin it by being ****ing ****s about the result. You lost fair and square.

It almost reminds me of something Zaltzman would write in his blog, to take the proverbial.
12+ years in international cricket and Bangladesh still haven't grown past acting like children.

Oh dear, toys out of pram time.
Enayet Hossain Siraj, chairman of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) cricket operations committee, told reporters on Saturday that Cheema had deliberately blocked batsman Mahmudullah in the final over.
He said the BCB would demand five penalty runs which if granted could force the ACA to reverse the result.
We have seen video footage of the incident repeatedly. It is clear that Cheema blocked Mahmudullah deliberately, Siraj said.
Bangladesh bitchery aside, is there any precedent for overturning a result after the fact?
I know the Ovalgate test was briefly declared a "no result" before England were readjudged as the winners, but are there any that stuck?
Can't see how anything can be changed. You only have to look at incorrect decisions for dismissals during games that aren't changed after the match even if proven 100% incorrect.

Will say this once and then nothing else. Defamation laws quite clear in Aus.be careful.
their fans have such chip on their shoulders I really fear the day they start winning regularly. On their forum the Bangladeshi team was being compared to Brazil 82 and Holland 74.

that isa really fun idea! we have daylilies, but just planted them so not quite enough stems left.... but in a couple years!ReplyDelete
Brilliant, Laura! I just love this idea! Easy, sassy and costs no money!ReplyDelete
Oh, Laura! What a GREAT idea! I, too, have a love of the daylily. (Inherited from my mother.) I'll be yanking out those daylily canes and spraypainting them, too. Stay tuned for where they go and what they do.ReplyDelete
I will have to remember that for next year. I've already composted all of mine from this year.ReplyDelete
That is a great idea for using those. Our daylilies quit doing right and I dug them up, but I remember having to pull those stems out.ReplyDelete
The stems looks great painted. What an idea!ReplyDelete
What a great idea! I miss the daylilies we had at our old house.ReplyDelete
I am totally going to do this! I have so many of these stems! Thanks for idea!ReplyDelete
This is genius!!ReplyDelete
Yikes....I just tossed stems a couple of weeks ago....never again! Thanks for sharing a green and very cute idea.ReplyDelete
I think this idea qualifies as "why didn't I think of that?".ReplyDelete
Fabulous!!! Bliss is right---"why didn't I think of that?"ReplyDelete

- Regulation of arginase II expression in macrophages by supernatants of apoptotic cells (2010)
- Apoptotic cell (AC)-derived factors alter the physiology of macrophages (M Phi s) towards a regulatory phenotype that is characterized by enhanced production of anti-inflammatory mediators, an attenuated pro-inflammatory cytokine profile and reduced nitric oxide (NO) formation. Impaired NO production in response to ACs or AC-conditioned medium (CM) is facilitated by arginase II (ARG II) expression, which competes with inducible NO synthase for L-arginine. In this study, I investigated the signaling pathway that allowed CM to upregulate ARG II in M Phi s. A sphingolipid, further identified as sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), was required but authentic S1P alone only produced small effects. S1P acted synergistically with a so far unidentified factor to elicit high ARG II expression. S1P signaled through S1P receptor 2 (S1P2), since the S1P2-antagonist JTE013 and siRNA knock-down of S1P2 prevented ARG II upregulation. Further, inhibition and knock-down of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (ERK5) attenuated CM-mediated ARG II protein induction. Exploring ERK5-dependent transcriptional regulation, promoter deletion and luciferase reporter analysis of the murine ARG II promoter (mpARG II) suggested the involvement of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) responsive element binding protein (CREB). This was confirmed by EMSA analysis and decoyoligonucleotides scavenging CREB, thereby preventing it from activating target genes and thus, blocking ARG II expression. I concluded that AC-derived S1P binds to S1P2 and acts synergistically with other factors to activate ERK5 and concomitantly CREB. This signaling cascade shapes an anti-inflammatory M Phi phenotype by ARG II induction. Further investigations of ERK5-dependent CREB activation suggested an indirect mechanism implying that ERK5 inhibited phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) and thus, prevented hydrolysis of cAMP. Since S1P-dependent ERK5 activation presumably inhibited PDE4, subsequent cAMP accumulation led to enhanced PKA activity and CREB-mediated transcription. The unidentified factor(s) besides S1P probably provoked the required elevation of cAMP production in M Phi s. Indeed, pharmacological inhibition of cAMP-producing adenylyl cyclase with SQ22536 as well as cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) with KT5720 suggested cAMP to be involved in CM-mediated ARG II up-regulation. Furthermore, forskolin-dependent activation of adenyly cyclase and simultaneous rolipram-mediated inhibition of PDE4 mimicked CM-induced ARG II expression. Considering these findings, I propose that one or several unidentified factors in CM provoke cAMP production in M Phi s. In parallel, AC-derived S1P activates ERK5, which inhibits PDE4-dependent cAMP hydrolysis, further raising intracellular cAMP levels. Thus, unrestricted continuous cAMP signaling via PKA/CREB, results in a time-dependent and sustained ARG II induction.

Tuscarawas News Detail
Kent State Receives Research Grant to Investigate Neurodegenerative DiseasesPosted Mar. 5, 2012
Kent State University has received a medical research grant from the Department of Defense's Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) to investigate neurodegenerative diseases.
Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences Robert Clements, Ph.D., will work together with Kent State Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences Ernie Freeman, Ph.D., and Professor of Chemistry Anatoly Khitrin, Ph.D., to study the generation of novel magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques to visualize inflammatory or degenerative mechanisms and the correlation to MR data with 3-D microscopic changes.
"Essentially, the use of our newly developed techniques will enhance our ability to image ongoing neuronal disease activity and the response to treatments using conventional MR scanning systems," Clements says. "The research will also provide fundamental knowledge about disease activity at the cellular level. I am grateful to be given the opportunity to advance our knowledge of neurodegenerative diseases with the hope of helping to better diagnose and treat the debilitating states."
Clements' research is designed to generate and critically analyze innovative methods that will augment current patient assessment and drug efficacy. The completed objectives will create novel protocols for existing MR scanning systems, providing researchers and clinicians the ability to visualize structures in ways that are otherwise impossible with current methods.
"The newly developed procedures will be immediately relevant and available to provide clinicians and researchers with necessary and informative ways to visualize neuronal injury known to precede brain atrophy," he says. "In addition, these strategies can be employed to monitor disease activity and therapeutic response."
Clements says the research will provide an enhanced understanding of how volumetric cellular changes are associated with modified MR signals, allowing for the evaluation of many facets of multiple sclerosis (MS), including modified microvascular permeability, neuronal degeneration/protection, glial health, myelin ensheathment, infiltrate activity, lesion type, and identify biomarkers of activity and progression.
The Office of Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) is funded through the Department of Defense, via annual congressional legislation, known as the Defense Appropriations Act. The program promotes and funds innovative research to eradicate diseases.

Midwest Living Review
Most visitors can find something to capture their attention at the well-done Wisconsin Maritime Museum. The museum sits on the shores of Lake Michigan in the city of Manitowoc, long known as a ship-building center. Admission ($12) includes a guided tour of the WW II sub U.S.S. Cobia tied up alongside the museum. The main level contains incredibly detailed model ships: schooners, riverboats, tugs, freighters. After seeing those delicate objects, it's a bit startling to walk into the steam engine exhibit, which contains the massive 1911 triple expansion marine steam engine that once powered a car ferry across the Straits of Mackinac.
The lower level is largely dedicated to the Wisconsin-built boat gallery and contains a varied selection of watercraft built in the state (kayaks, pleasure boats and more). The permanent exhibit gallery teaches you about how the lake and rivers shaped communities, businesses and families. In the latter gallery, you can stroll through a re-created 19th-century downtown, complete with boardwalk, and look up at a full-size cross-section of a schooner. (It's huge.) Kids aren't forgotten: There's a waterways room, where kids can steer boats through a model waterway, see how a lock works, play with nautical games and puzzles, and more.
The best part of the museum might be what lies outside: the U.S.S. Cobia. The 45-minute tour takes you throughout the immaculately restored sub, decked out as it would have looked in 1945 (look for the modest pin-ups). The tour is fascinating, and gives you a real idea what it would have been like to have been aboard a sub back then. Finish your visit with a trip up to the museum's roof, where you'll get an expansive view of the surrounding land.

Huntington Bank leads nation in SBA lendingWritten by Duane Ramsey | | email@example.com
Huntington Bank was recently named the No. 1 Small Business Adminstration (SBA) lender in the country by helping thousands of small businesses expand and create jobs.
Huntington led the nation in terms of number of 7(a) loans and volume based on third quarter rankings for fiscal year 2014. The Columbus-based bank moved up from its previous position as the third largest SBA lender in the nation in 2013.
During the first three quarters of SBA's fiscal year 2014, which ended June 30, Huntington Bank wrote 1,705 SBA loans in Ohio alone, totaling $199,345,900. The top national ranking is noteworthy because the bank is ranked 33rd in the country in terms of assets and only makes SBA loans within its six-state footprint.
Huntington Bank made more than half of all SBA 7(a) loans in its footprint for the first six months of the fiscal year. It made 1,804 loans while the remainder of the industry made 1,758 loans in Huntington's service area during the period from Oct. 1 to March 31.
"Huntington is committed to supporting small business growth as a key way to strengthen our communities as they continue through the economic recovery," said Steve Steinour, chairman, president and CEO of Huntington Bank in the announcement of its SBA rankings.
"Small businesses are the foundation of our Main Street economies throughout the United States. These businesses generate two thirds of all new jobs and help keep our neighborhoods healthy," Steinour said.
"Huntington is very big in the small business market. We focus on small business and have a great reputation in that arena," said Ken Connell, executive vice president and business banking sales director.
"We listen to what companies need for expanding their business. If SBA is the best solution for them, we have the expertise in SBA lending. We help companies expand their business and create more jobs," Connell said.
Based in Toledo, Connell is responsible for 16 managers and markets in six states, including Northwest Ohio and part of southeast Michigan.
The original owner of PizzaPapalis in Toledo, JJSV Enterprises, obtained SBA financing through Huntington Bank to open that chain's first restaurant in Ohio in 2009. The store located adjacent to Fifth Third Field in Downtown Toledo remains the only one in Ohio to date.
"With SBA, you get longer terms and lower interest rates for reduced principal which allows small business owners to have more capital that is critical in the restaurant business," said Joe Sheena, of Sheena Management, which now owns and operates the PizzaPapalis chain based in the Detroit suburb of Troy.
Sheena said they opened the first Pizza Papalis store in Greektown in 1986. The success of the chain allowed them to open a new concept called NeoPapalis in downtown Ann Arbor in 2012 without SBA financing, he said.
Patrons can create their own pizza with fresh ingredients and watch it made and slid into the oven at Neopapalis which also serves a selection of sandwiches and salads made fresh to order.
Sheena explained that they plan to offer franchise opportunities with the NeoPapalis concept that is very popular on the West Coast. He said they would encourage franchisees to consider using SBA financing to get their business started.
he husband and wife team of Jake and Emily Dunfee, who owned the Rescue Marine and Repair, wanted to purchase another established business. However, their bank at the time told them that they couldn't help them with it, she said.
Emily said they knew Lee Vivod, a business banking rep from Huntington's office in Port Clinton, from living in the community.
Securing financing
A year later, the couple decided they wanted to open a restaurant in the community. By that time, they were doing all their business banking with Huntington. Once again, the bank helped them secure SBA financing to establish the Hidden Beach Bar (and restaurant) in Marblehead.
Most recently, the Dunfees got an additional SBA loan to refinance and expand their original marine rescue and repair business. They have a total of about 20 employees at the three businesses.
Emily said they told the local bankers at Huntington that "you really do make dreams come true."
Ohio actually led Huntington's combined mid-year ranking for number of 7(a) loans and dollar volumes with 1,050 loans totaling $118,900,300, followed by Michigan with 472 loans totaling $66,091,700, Indiana with 116 loans totaling $23,695,500, western Pennsylvania with 90 loans totaling $10,632,400, and West Virginia with 37 loans totaling $7,635,400.
Locally, more than $70.94 million in SBA loans were written for small businesses in the 5th and 9th U.S. Congressional districts in Northwest Ohio, based on total loans approved as of Aug. 1. These figures were provided by the SBA's Great Lakes Regional Office in Detroit.
In Congressman Robert Latta's 5th district, a total of 167 SBA loans were written for a total of $36,839,200. It included nine 504 loans for $4,224,000 and 158 7(a) loans for $32,615,200.
In Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur's 9th district, a total of 180 SBA loans were written for a total of $34,104,700. It included five 504 loans for $1,549,000 and 175 7(a) loans for $32,555,700.
Other lenders
However, Huntington is not the only local bank active in the SBA lending market.
Two other Ohio-based banks that operate in the NW Ohio region were active in Ohio's SBA lending market during the first three quarters of fiscal 2014. KeyBank made 64 loans totaling $21,571,500, while Fifth Third Bank made 34 loans totaling $20,987,700, according to the SBA.
Waterford Bank NA based in Sylvania provided SBA solutions for American Manufacturing Inc. of Toledo. It allowed that firm to increase its business and employment. The company once had 125 employees but was reduced to a skeleton crew due to the recent recession.
American began receiving orders from Chrysler, Ford, General Motors and other manufacturers. The firm specializes in high volume production of steel shipping containers for those automakers and their suppliers.
Chuck Gotberg, owner of American Manufacturing, went to Waterford Bank looking for a new source for commercial banking. He said they needed working capital to keep the business going to meet the new demand from the auto industry.
"Waterford was able to offer us more money and lower rates with the SBA options. We have a beautiful relationship with Waterford for all our business banking," Gotberg said.
With the help of SBA financing through Waterford Bank, American once again has 125 employees at its 300,000-square foot manufacturing facility in Toledo, formerly operated by Surface Combustion. Gotberg said they are still looking for more qualified workers to meet their increasing business.
Waterford Bank opened in August of 2007 and now has offices on McCord Road in Sylvania, in Bryan and Perrysburg. The bank reported total assets of $449.9 million, deposits of $400 million of loans of $332 million in December of 2013.

Cool Catholic Church
Start with one hour of Eucharistic adoration, follow that up with a party in a nightclub-like setting, and you get one hip ancient church.
That's the model of Catholic Underground, a ministry started by Bronx-based Franciscan Friars of Renewal to take on Pope John Paul II's challenge to keep faith in dialogue with modern culture. It's caught on among young adults and now has eight locations across the country.

Hey everyone!
We are out on tour right now.. And I hope you are all NOT on tour right now cause if you are you'll totally be stealing our thunder..
Now, maybe most of you have seen our rock set and some of you have seen our acoustic set but lets be honest, most of you have yet to experience the tour that just started! Its called Acoustic Winter's Night. (I know, so cool and mysterious of us right?)
Th Spirit Of Adoption
Romans 8:15 For you Have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out Abba Father
So I have been thinking about Adoption lately. I think all my life I have thought of adoption as one thing, I thought it was taking a child from being an orphan to being loved. But as I began to open my thinking about adoption I began to see that we are all in need of adoption. Romans 8:15 is a little glimpse into that. But the other piece that I kept feeling is adoption can be applied to more then just children but to businesses, bands, churches and whole Cities!
As I began my search of desiring this Spirit of Adoption I felt like he turned my heart to my city. And why not? I live there I should be praying for it.
Then I began to picture different business that I often frequent. In the economy we are in every business is in need of prayer! I started adopting those business to pray for.
Well folks.. its that time again. The time where I write a blog and force you to read it.
I'd like to have 3 cheers for my lovely sisters who have written the past two blogs! I mean seriously. I'm pretty sure you were all

RYE, N.Y. – Playland Amusement Park in Rye will receive a $34 million upgrade by Sustainable Playland Inc., thanks to a civic-commercial partnership reached between the Rye-based group and Westchester, County Executive Robert Astorino announced Thursday morning.
"It will truly be a destination from morning to night and all seasons. [The plan] will create a portfolio approach to Playland as opposed to one event and that's just come here and walk around an amusement park, or not if it's a bad day," said Astorino at the amusement park.
Main institutions of the historic amusement park would remain, including the Dragon Coaster, boardwalk, and Kiddyland. However, new elements that will be added include an "Aqua Zone" mini-water park and beach attractions; outdoor ball fields and an outdoor field house; renovations to the indoor ice rink and a new outdoor ice rink for the winter; new restaurants; enhanced access to the Edith Read Wildlife Sanctuary; an indoor multi-use facility for rental; and a Great Lawn, with views of the Long Island Sound.
Under the new plan, general admission to Playland and the Great Lawn would be free. Attractions throughout the park that will be grouped into zones like amusement, water, beach, and fields will be pay-as-you-go.
"Playland does belong to everybody and we want to make sure that everyone knows this is their park ... but it's not just limited to Westchester, we want the New York metro region," said Astorino. "We want this as part of our tourism to be an economic boost continuously and bring dollars from people who would not otherwise come here."
The county executive and Sustainable's President Dhruv Narain, a Rye resident, signed a letter of intent to develop a ten-year asset management agreement. Under the terms of the contract, the county will receive an upfront payment of $4 million from Sustainable , as well as a minimum payment of $1.2 million a year beginning in the second year, said Astorino.
The money will go toward ending the county's existing $32 million of debt on Playland. "This will be a revenue source once again for the county," said Astorino.
Construction will begin as soon as contracts are signed in the next 90 days. The first phase will be a 12-week project to build the ball fields. If construction begins early enough, Astorino said the newly-planned amusement area could be up and running by next summer. No matter what, he added, the amusement park will be open for the 2013 season.

While I was in Okla. for Muzzleloader season this year one of the WMA employees mentioned that next year all of Okla. would have APRs . He said a legal buck would need to have at least 4 points on one side . It kind of suprised us as 1/2 of our group was from Okla. and nobody had heard of it .
Just curious is there any truth to that . We have the same APRs here in Missouri and it has realy helped to build a huge population of mature bucks .

It was a very special day at the new Logan County Commission headquarters when Senator Art Kirkendoll and some special guests came back to Logan to say congratulations to four people for turning their lives around Friday.
Kirkendoll was joined by Mike Browning, who represented W.V Senator Joe Manchin, Robbie Queen, who represented U.S. Congressman Nick Rahall and Jenna Jeffery who represented U.S. Senator Jay Rockefeller in congratulating the graduates for their hard work and perseverance.
As Logan County Circuit Judge Eric O'Briant noted, the Logan County Drug Court and Day Report programs would not be possible were it not for help from West Virginia's Washington coalition. Browning, a former editor for the Logan Banner, said he was always glad to be back in Logan on behalf of Sen. Manchin and that he was especially pleased with the progress shown by people in the Drug Court programs.
The new County Commission facility was packed for this year's Logan County Drug Court graduation which saw two adults and two juveniles successfully complete their long term treatment and rehabilitative programs. Those present included caseworkers, therapists, probation officers and staff members along with drug court clients from both the Adult Drug Court program and the Juvenile Drug Court program in Logan County.
Queen read a letter of thanks from Rahall who noted that the Drug Court programs in West Virginia have proven to be a model approach to treating the drug epidemic that has struck families across the state and nation. Jeffery read a letter from Rockefeller saying the candidates for drug court were to be congratulated for their hard work and that their families were also to be thanked for showing support for their loved ones to change their lives. Browning said Manchin sent his thanks to the candidates who were working hard and the staff members and court officers who were helping them rebuild their lives by getting them off drugs and back into the world as sober, hard working citizens.
"Most of the funding for our drug court programs comes from the federal government," Judge O'Briant noted. "We could not do this without federal assistance."
O'Briant introduced Kirkendoll who discussed the origins of the Logan Drug Court and Day Report programs.
Kirkendoll said that the programs had created a vision for people to change for the better and that they came about at a time when alternative treatment programs were limited at best and the old system did not seem to be helping people with substance abuse problems who were caught up in the criminal justice system to get clean and sober and back on track with their lives. Kirkendoll said that in order to deal with the drug related crime problem it was necessary to approach people with addiction problems in a different way. He and others at the Logan County Courthouse from probation officials to judges and attorneys traveled and looked at different approaches to that problem and brought them back to Logan to see if they would work.
"If you want to see your neighbor, or your community get better, you have to get personally involved," Kirkendoll said. "You have to take these problems personally and you have to work to make things better….I implore you to realize that you have to want to do better."
Kirkendoll said that by wanting a better life and by being willing to do the hard work the programs require a person can make a better life for themselves and their families.
"We see too many people…Too many kids who have overdosed and are dead," he added. "When I see these graduates it tells me that the hard work and effort and expense are worth it."
Kirkendoll also thanked judges O'Briant and Roger Perry for championing the programs and putting much time and effort into their successes. He urged other clients present that day to become success stories as well.
Mike Lacey with the West Virginia Department of Probation discussed the origins of Drug Courts in Southern West Virginia noting that it started first with a Juvenile Drug Court program in Cabell County, followed by programs in Wayne and Logan Counties. Lacey said there are currently 29 Adult and Juvenile Drug Court programs in the Mountain State and that there will be more to come in the next year.
"When you look at the statistics for people who have gone through the drug court programs, compared to people who have not, the numbers of people who have been successful thanks to these programs and who have avoided recidivism really stands out," Lacey said.
According to studies 60-80 percent of unsupervised drug offenders commit a new crime after being released from incarceration. Without supervision, 60-80 percent also drops out of treatment programs prematurely. However, in a national study of more than 2,000 graduates from over 90 Drug Courts, the average recidivism rate was only 16 percent in the first year after leaving the program. Drug Courts are six times more likely to keep offenders in treatment long enough for them to get better.

Porto Dinner Plates, Set of 4 11 11
Great Dishes I love these, they are exactly what I wanted. They are sturdy and not too delicate that the plates will chip. Dishwasher friendly. January 14, 2014
Product much prettier in person The colors much brighter and vivid than picture. Nice quality and size. Given as a wedding gift and able to mix and match so bothe parties were pleased.no December 31, 2013
Great Portuguese find! Being of Portugal descent I was thrilled to find these dishes. The design is just what I was looking for and fit perfectly with my decor. They are sturdy and worth the extra cost even though I have beautiful china now in the back of my cabinet. I would make the same decision to buy them again. May 3, 2010
Bang for the Buck! I absolutely love these dishes! They are light weight and turned my kitchen around! I would love to recommend these but they are so great I want to be the only ones to have them :) April 11, 2010
A Show Stopper I loved this set the minute I saw it in the store, and am buying the entire set slowly, despite the fact that I already have beautiful china and an everyday set of dishes as well. The one thing I am not sure of is if it is truly dishwasher safe. The colors seemed to fade after the first wash. I'm not sure if they did, or if it's my imagination. Regardless, I now wash by hand. September 8, 2009
change charger plate colors seasonally Charger plates make this set so much fun to use during different seasons. Parawinkle for Spring; yellow for summer; orange for fall, and white tablecloth for winter. February 3, 2009
I love these dishes ! I have only had these dishes a short time, but so far I love them. September 28, 2008
Excellent Products I bought these, along with the serving pieces(platter and serving bowl) to replace my everyday dinnerware with something more stylish. Although the pieces are somewhat expensive, the quality of the materials and look of the pieces is outstanding. I just wish they were sold as a place setting set (plates, bowl & cup together) instead of individually. (I didn't realize this until after I received my first shipment and saw it was only dinner plates, so I had to place a second order for the rest of the pieces). I highly recommend !

MANCHESTER UFC Fight Night 30 fighter weigh-ins took place today, and headliners Lyoto Machida (185) and
Mark Munoz (186) each made weight for their contest without issue. The same could not be said for top flyweight contender John Lineker.
The weigh-ins took place in front of a rowdy crowd at Manchester Central in England. The following day's FOX Sports 2-televised event takes place at the nearby phones4U Arena.
Despite competing for the first time as a middleweight, former UFC light-heavyweight champion Machida had no problem making weight in his new division, not even needing the one pound allowance. However, flyweight Lineker weighed 128 pounds and was given an additional hour to lose the necessary two pounds. He ultimately elected not to cut the remaining weight and was fined 20 percent of his purse. Lineker has now missed the flyweight mark in three of his five UFC appearances.
The full weigh-in results include:
Lyoto Machida (185) vs. Mark Munoz (186)
Melvin Guillard (155) vs. Ross Pearson (156)
Ryan Jimmo (204) vs. Jimi Manuwa (205)
Norman Parke (155) vs. Jon Tuck (155)
Nicholas Musoke (186) vs. Alessio Sakara (185)
Phil Harris (125) vs. John Lineker (128)*
Piotr Hallmann (155) vs. Al Iaquinta (155)
Luke Barnatt (185) vs. Andrew Craig (186)
Jessica Andrade (134) vs. Rosi Sexton (135)
Cole Miller (146) vs. Andy Ogle (145)
Jimy Hettes (145) vs. Robert Whiteford (145)
Michael Kuiper (185) vs. Brad Scott (186)
* - Lineker was fined 25 percent of his purse

Cloud Computing is fantastic! Where else can you provision infrastructure on the fly, scale it up (add more CPU/RAM/Storage) and out (add more instances of cloud servers) and grow your infrastructure based on your business demands. At GoGrid, we believe in making complex infrastructure easy by providing you with tools to create, manage and scale your GoGrid cloud infrastructure using our web-based portal or programmatic API. But did you know that you can also create and manage your GoGrid cloud infrastructure while you are on the go using your iPhone? Back in 2010, we launched our iPhone application and we designed it to scale as we added new data centers. The application fully supports our San Francisco, Ashburn and Amsterdam data centers simply because we built the app on top of our API.
Are you a mobile apps developer? I would love to see what magic you can do with the GoGrid API in making the next generation Android or iPad application. Feel free to leave a comment on this post.
So, how do you set up the GoGrid iPhone application once you have downloaded it from the iTunes App Store? It's pretty easy so I wanted to show the steps on setting it up in this article.
Create an API Key within the GoGrid Web Portal
The first step it to create an API key within the GoGrid web portal. You need to have a GoGrid account for this. (For those who are new to GoGrid and want to test it out specifically with the iPhone application, go to the GoGrid sign-up page and in the "Promo Code" field, enter "GGiPhone1″ and receive a $100 service credit!)

While there's not much away from the muzzle end that can hurt in this hobby, out of battery or extreme head space can make some blood. I may put a trunnion in with toothpicks but the thought of an unsupported round going off in my face makes my skin crawl.
The open bolt sub guns fire before the round is fully chambered. A 7.62x25 sits 140 thousandths out of the chamber when it's all the way in. The gap between an AK74 bolt and the chamber face with a fully chambered round is 40 thousandths on a PPS43 barrel.
I've see no mention in other threads of machining the bolt face deeper although I may have missed it.
I think in terms of the bolt being held a few thousandths off the cartridge by the carrier on the trunnion but that leaves alot of cartridge unsupported.
Am I missing something here?

Sometimes the smallest of things can have the biggest impact. Friday, it was one small squirrel that took out an entire city.
Friday morning the power went out in much of Summerville, leaving 4,887 SCE&G customers in the dark, so to speak.
Traffic lights were out, businesses lost the ability to do business, police and fire personnel had to direct traffic. In short, it could have been a disaster. However, SCE&G employees had at least half its customers back up and running by 11 a.m. and the other half by 11:30 a.m.
Kim Asbill, SCE&G spokesperson, said in all, customers were only without power for about 45 minutes.
SCE&G used its Twitter account – @SCEGnews and Facebook to keep customers up to date on the status of the outage.

On Saturday, September 17, members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club concluded their 2011 bass tournament schedule with the Annual Top Ten Tournament. The tournament was held on Sardis Lake. The Top Ten Tournament allows the top ten anglers of the year to compete against each other in this final event. Those competing this year were Ellis Silvey, Billy Hensley, Terry Thurman, Judd Thomas, Billy Latham, Josh Cole, Mike Burrage, Jon Tucker, Dennis Willeford, and Kenny Briggs.
The fishing proved to be feast or famine for those competing. Those that were able to locate bass were able to catch quite a few. Others had difficulty in catching even small bass. Winning the tournament was Billy Hensley. Billy had a six fish limit that weighed 17.18 pounds. Judd Thomas took second place honors with a six fish limit that weighed 13.52 pounds. The big bass of the tournament was caught by Kenny Briggs. It weighed 3.49 pounds.
Club members are reminded that deer season is approaching fast and if they wish to enter the deer season contest for archery, primitive firearms or regular gun season, their entry fee must be paid before a season begins. Entry fees can be paid at Silvey's Tax Service.
The club will not meet again until December 8. At this meeting, members will plan the bass tournament schedule for 2012.View more articles in:

LOGAN – Plans are being set in motion to get first-built Logan High School on Stratton St. cleaned up. A meeting was held Thursday to discuss the EPA Brownsfield Grant submission that PRIDE Community Services Inc. is planning to submit to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requesting funds to support the project.
"Brownfields is a grant directed at cleaning up vacated and depilated properties in communities for the purpose of redeveloping those properties for something useful," said Reginald Jones, director of PRIDE.
The application will request EPA funds to assist with cleanup of known contamination at specified locations on the site.
"This EPA grant is solely for the abatement of asbestos and the removal of hazardous materials that are in the building," said Jones.
Jones said Triad Engineering has completed Phase I of the process which was an asbestos study. Asbestos was found to be present at various locations in the building, including caulking materials, floor tile, blackboards and piping wrap.
"The next step is applying for this grant, which is solely for cleanup," said Jones. "That's the first step before we can consider demolishing the building."
Jones said he realized many people will be upset over the razing of the old high school, but the structure has become a health and safety issue.
"The building has set there for a very long time it has worn… there are so many issues with the building," said Jones. "Structurally, it is so far beyond being able to remodel. The only feasible thing is to demolish it and redevelop the property."
Jones said a definitive purpose for the site has not been decided yet.
"Our goal is that whatever we develop that property into will benefit the community," said Jones. "As for actual demolishing of the building is at least three or four years from now."
Jones said that if the grant is removed and the asbestos abatement begins the safety and health of PRIDE's neighbors is assured.
"Any firm that we use will have to adhere to the EPA standards in asbestos removal process," said Jones. "You can go to the OSHA website and view a video of the process. They actually wrap the building to keep the fiber from coming out. I'm confident that once that process begins that the neighbors and community will be safe. That's our number one, to make sure the community is safe."
Jones said community members are urged to submit remarks on project goals for the property after it is cleaned up. Suggested uses have been additional parking, new building space, individual or community housing and green space for community gardens.
Last date to submit comments is November 14th. Jones said anyone wanting to submit a comment can drop by the PRIDE offices for a form, or print one for PRIDE's website, http://prideinlogan.com/. Click on News then scroll down to Grant Comments. The form can be filled out and either dropped off at the offices or rescanned and emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject Brownfields Grant.
The EPA encourages public participation in this application process to ensure community awareness and that community needs are being considered related to property redevelopment.
Specific questions and/or comments can be addressed to: Reginald Jones, Executive Director at 304-752-6868.
