Threaded View
3D league scores?
So What is a good score for 3D leagues? We have, I believe 10 targets x2 (9 +1 in video) for a possible 360 pts. I haven't seen anyone above 300 yet.
I have the following scores:
Week 1: 226
Week 2: 216
Week 3: 261
Week 4: 241 Shot same night as week 5.
Week 5: 229 I think a little low from fatigue shot earlier.
How about Vegas 450? I haven't shot the V450 league yet but I think it is a fair measure of skill. (I know this is 3Dshoots forum)

Holgorsen: 'Will to win wasn't there'
MORGANTOWN - The most telling observation Dana Holgorsen made following West Virginia's 37-27 loss to Texas Tech Saturday afternoon was also the most obvious.
"It's a game we should have won,'' he said.
Indeed, it was a game that perhaps the Mountaineers needed to win.
There seems little question that West Virginia's schedule from here on out is significantly easier than what has come before it. Consider that the Mountaineers' four Big 12 opponents to date are a combined 24-2 after the weekend's games, during which they went 4-0. The five remaining opponents are 12-19, including an 0-3 mark over the weekend (two were idle).
On the surface, perhaps that bodes well for a WVU team that is now 3-4 overall and 1-3 in the conference. After all, the only thing the Mountaineers are playing for is bowl eligibility, which would require a 3-2 record over the last five games. It should be easier to do that against five unranked teams with a combined 19 losses than it would be against the four Top 25 teams that are in the rear-view mirror.
The trouble is, few if any of those remaining five games are gimmes.
That's because getting two wins in the previous four games - in order to get to five and on the verge of bowl eligibility - is anything but a sure thing. And that's what makes Saturday's loss against Texas Tech so critical. The Mountaineers had a chance to win. As Holgorsen said, perhaps they should have won.
But they didn't, which means a golden opportunity slipped away.
"In the fourth quarter, when we were up [27-16], we didn't have the will to want to knock them out,'' Holgorsen said. "They had the will to want to win more than we did. And that starts with me.''
Indeed, in addition to all the other things West Virginia needs to improve upon in order to have a chance to win more than it loses over the final five games and become bowl eligible, mentality appears to be in the mix.
On Saturday, the offense began to look respectable, really for the first time this season. Even in what is West Virginia's signature win to date - a 30-21 victory over Oklahoma State - the offense seemed to succeed almost accidentally, not by design. Clint Trickett was making his first start and all but winged it and made a handful of big plays. It was the defense that scored one touchdown and set up two field goals with turnovers.
The only other times the offense scored well this season came against horrendous Georgia State and after Baylor had lost interest. But against Tech, things were actually crisp.
Or they were right up until the time the Mountaineers stopped playing with that 27-16 lead.
Perhaps "stopped playing'' isn't right, though. Holgorsen insists that it's not a matter of trying, but instead an issue of sucking it up when things get tough.
"It's not the effort. The effort was there,'' Holgorsen said. "The will to win wasn't there.''
And that's something that will have to change if West Virginia is to have a chance at reaching the only goal that remains.

The development of strength, mobility and stability is gained through the asanas. B.K.S.
The Gentle approaches - Level 1
Chair Yoga
: Yoga is excellent for nourishing the mind and body throughout the life span and at times we'll find that we need something challenging yet gentle to keep us young in mind, body and spirit. This class uses a chair for additional support. Most of the exercises are done while sitting, leaning, or holding onto a chair. This makes it a great way to practice yoga for people that aren't otherwise too active in their lives and/or have limited mobility. Gentle movement encourages better circulation, while weight bearing standing poses are a safe way to help build bone density. Awaken areas of the body that have been inactive, soothe aching joints, and strengthen muscles, while you calm your mind with this enjoyable practice. Any level of practitioner can benefit from this class. Be sure to tell your teacher about any physical limitations or illness so that modifications can be offered for a more comfortable experience. (Note: Our studio is located on the 2nd. floor , a flight of stairs of approximately 20 steps need to be considered for those with limited mobilities.)
Gentle Yoga
This class consists of stretches, movement and postures that calm the sympathetic nervous system; helpful in de-stressing mind and body.
Restorative Yoga/Yoga Therapies
: Treat your mind and body right
When supported by props (blocks, straps, chairs, etc.) the body relaxes and opens, releasing tension from the neck, shoulder, hips, legs, feet, and most importantly the back. Good for those with physical injuries, and/or conditions ranging from insomnia to migraines, to depression. Your body will be left feeling opened and refreshed.
Pre-Natal Yoga
Yes it's true, it's never too early to connect!
Many, doctors, mid-wives, and women have stated that Yoga helps better connect moms-to-be and their soon-to-arrive babies. Yoga also assists with a better transition into the months of pregnancy and helped prepare for the big day! Yoga Asanas, or poses are ways of moving or holding the body in different positions to gently stretch, and is a great way to keep the body active and supple while pregnant. You'll practice postures that work on the reproductive organs and pelvis to allow for a smoother pregnancy and an easier more focused and enjoyable child birth. While concentrated breathing (prananyama) is a powerful way to ensure an abundant supply of oxygen is reaching the fetus, while infusing you with some extra "life force" as well! Yoga breathing will also condition a better mind and body connection, that's going to help a great deal on that special day! A little meditation will offer a heightened state of awareness, a greater bonding with your baby to be, while helping address both on a psychological and an emotional level any fears or concerns moving forward. Lastly, but certainly not least, ahhhh...., deep relaxation learn it now, because you'll need it later! The effects of a yoga practice during pregnancy can make for a smoother pregnancy, relatively easier childbirth and a quicker restoration of body post labor.
*A doctor's clearance is required, and it is recommended that you follow yoga under expert guidance throughout your pregnancy.
: Baby is here! A class designed for Mommy and her bundle of joy. Babies from new borns up to crawling age rule here! A welcoming environment open to everything babies bring- smelly diapers, occasional fussing, crying, etc.. Mommy and baby bonding while Mum gets in a good session of yoga!
Find your Power House!
Mat Pilates
: Harness your power! A body conditioning routine primarily practiced on the mat, that seeks to build strength, flexibility, endurance, and control of the body in movement while sculpting the core (abdominal muscles) or "powerhouse", without adding muscle bulk. People who practice Pilates regularly feel they have better posture, are less prone to injury, have firmer abs, legs and buttocks.
Yogalates/Core Yoga:
The Best of both Worlds. A blend of the meditative flow and the breathing techniques of yoga, with the controlled movements of Pilates will leave you feeling energized yet relaxed while you strengthen, tone, tighten, and firm the body.
Guided Meditation
Clear your mind.
Empty out the mind and rejuvenate your potential. Take a journey inward - body sweeping, possibly some chanting and light movement will assist in relaxation, and de-stressing, gaining improved self-awareness while tapping into and harnessing your Chi (energy) for an over all better
Cardio it up!
Burn baby burn those calories!
Join the party!
This class formats fast and slow rhythms that tone and sculpt the body in an aerobic/fitness fashion. The cardio-based movements are easy to follow. It targets and creates a sexier abdomen, backside, legs, arms, all while working the heart!

"These allegations include rape, beatings, looting and torture by security forces of the Government of Angola," said Margot Wallström, the Secretary-General's Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict, in a statement.
"The most recent incidents would have occurred in the village of Tshiambi in the Republic of Angola between 4 and 7 October 2011 along the common border with Kasai Occidental [province] in the Democratic Republic of Congo."
She urged both the Angolan and DRC authorities to urgently investigate the alleged abuse with a view to holding the perpetrators accountable, in line with the joint communiqué issued by Angola and the UN in March.
Ms. Wallström called upon the two countries to use the previously established Angola-DRC Mixed Commission to address the issue of migrant communities and expulsions.
"I remind all parties that rape can be a crime against humanity, no less grave than other crimes, and that perpetrators will be held accountable. We continue to monitor this and other incidents of alleged conflict-related sexual violence, wherever they occur, and stand in solidarity with the survivors," she added.

Police captain won't face shooting charges
OCEANSIDE The District Attorney's Office has ruled that an off-duty Oceanside police captain will not be held criminally liable for shooting his 25-year-old son during an attack on the captain's wife.
In a Nov. 9 letter to the Sheriff's Department, which investigated the case, District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis said Capt. Reginald Grigsby was within his rights to defend his wife and himself when he fired the two shots in his Fallbrook home on May 23.
Reggie Grigsby Jr. was struck in the chest and shoulder and later charged with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon. He pleaded guilty to assault with a deadly weapon and was sentenced to a year in jail.
He is expected to be released Dec. 27.
The captain has since returned to duty at the Police Department but is awaiting the results of an administrative investigation.
Grigsby Jr. has struggled with schizophrenia since he was a teenager. His girlfriend noticed he was acting strangely the day of the attack and she called his parents out of concern, according to the district attorney's letter.
He was taken to his parents' home that night and became agitated when the discussion turned to his condition and concerns that he wasn't taking his medications.
The captain told investigators he was on the computer in the loft area awhile later when he heard his son attacking his wife in the hallway outside. The son jumped on top of her and began punching her in the face and choking her.
Grigsby Sr. said he tried to pull his son off but couldn't, so he ran to the bedroom, retrieved a gun and fired two shots.
In 2004, Grigsby Jr. beat his father, fracturing the captain's eye socket, nose and a tooth. Last year, he grabbed his sister by the neck and slammed her into a pantry door.
He was detained by sheriff's deputies in both instances and taken to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation. —K.D.
Suspect arrested in liquor store robbery
SPRING VALLEY: A 21-year-old man was in custody yesterday after being identified as a suspect in the robbery of a liquor store on Jamacha Boulevard near Grand Avenue in Spring Valley, the Sheriff's Department said.
The robbery took place about 11:30 a.m. when a suspect with a pistol held up the store clerk and escaped in a car with an unspecified amount of cash, said Sgt. David Pocklington.
The suspect was identified and detained about 3 p.m. on Jamacha Road near Gillespie Drive when deputies spotted him leaving the area in a vehicle, Pocklington said. —S.D.
Young man wearing ski mask robs bank
SAN DIEGO: A young man with a dark ski mask covering the lower half of his face robbed a teller yesterday at Chase Bank in Rancho Bernardo.
When the robber headed toward an open teller window at the bank on Bernardo Center Drive near Bernardo Plaza Court, an employee asked him to remove the mask, FBI spokesman Darrell Foxworth said.
The robber ignored the request and showed the teller a silver-colored semi-automatic pistol.
He threw a Ziploc-type bag on the counter and told the teller to put money inside. He then ran out.
The robber was described as white, about 20 years old and 5 feet 10 inches tall, with a medium build. He wore a gray, hooded sweatshirt and white sneakers, dark pants and gloves. Anyone with information is asked to contact the FBI at (858) 565-1255. —S.S.

U.S. Senators Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow helped the Senate pass a measure letting people buy their prescription drugs from Canada.
The Senate's homeland security spending bill approved last week allows Americans to import prescription drugs from Canada despite a Food and Drug Administration ban on importing prescription medicine into the United States.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection began aggressively enforcing the ban last November by seizing incoming medications at borders.
Prescription drugs are generally sold at cheaper prices in Canada and other countries because of government price controls.
The Senate passed the measure on a 68-to-32 vote.

"JSON" stands for "JavaScript Object Notation" and is an efficient way to transfer complex information about specific entities between two separate programs.
However, JSON is also implemented (as of June 2010) in about 50 other languages using more than 100 tested libraries. Furthermore, the specification is short and elegant enough for any reasonably competent programmer to build his or her own JSON parser in relatively short order.
JSON can be used to represent primitive data types, such as one integer (e.g., "1") or one string (e.g., "fred"), but JSON is more frequently used to represent complex data including specifically named attributes (e.g., "color=blue, ID=342…"), arrays of values (e.g., "7,6,8…") or even arrays of attributes.
Let's take a look now at a simple JSON sample. This is a record that describes a complex data structure: a person.
{ "firstName": "Elwood", "lastName": "Blues", "SSN": 111-11-1111, "address": { "addressLine1": "1060 West Addison St.", "addressLine2": "Suite 1313", "city": "Chicago", "state": "IL", "postalCode": "60613" }, "autoViolations": [ { "type": "speeding", "amount": "145.25" }, { "type": "parking", "amount": "15.00" } ] }
There are three simple objects ("firstName", "lastName", "SSN"), each of which is made up of a name/value pair of strings. There is also a complex object ("address"), which is itself made up of 5 simple objects and a second complex object ("autoViolations"), which contains an array of similar objects.
Veterans of XML will note that this same data structure could easily be represented in XML, but JSON advocates favor JSON over XML because:
- JSON does more with fewer characters (e.g., XML "<repeats></repeats>" the names of keys)
- JSON maps more cleanly into major programming languages than XML (almost all languages have strings, numbers and object/class and array data structures)
- JSON does not stray into the "can also be used to display data" camp like XML does (with XSLT transformation) because JSON is not a document markup language
JSON has a couple of years to go before it catches up with XML in popularity among the general programming community, but JSON has clearly leapt out in front with cutting edge programmers working on state-of-the-art presentation frameworks such as Qooxdoo or highly distributed databases such as Cassandra.
As these better presentation frameworks and more distributed computing concepts work their way into the mainstream, JSON's use and relevance will only increase.

Images: Building, securing OP Cougar [Image 9 of 14]
Photo by Master Sgt. Kevin Wallace
Combat Outpost Cougar is one of 16 COPs in the Bala Murghab Valley, Badghis province, Afghanistan. International Security Assistance Force soldiers have had a presence at Forward Operating Base Todd in Bala Murghab for years. During ISAF-led Operation Bonjourno, soldiers (primarily 82nd Airborne, scouts from 7th Squadron, 10th Cavalry Regiment, and Italian Alpini soldiers) extended a security bubble over much of the valley, allowing displaced villagers to return as insurgents were gradually routed from Bala Murghab. COP Cougar is the southern-most COP in Bala Murghab and acts as an overwatch position protecting COP Delorean and as a roadblock, preventing insurgents from entering the valley from the south.

Justine from Sew Country Chick is a decoden enthusiast, so she's the perfect person to share a new Mod Podge product with you! If you haven't heard of Mod Podge Collage Clay, it's the latest brain child of Cathie and Steve . . . and you can use it along with their Mod Melts and Molds to create some fun and unique projects. I'm sure you're wondering what I'm talking about, so read on to learn more!
Recently I bought a Samsung Mega. Basically, it's as big as a brick! Think 80's size cell phones. So, I decided to be really crazy and decorate it in decoden style using Mod Podge Collage Clay and some jewelry charms and rhinestones. Now, no one will miss me from a mile away!
Being a former mosaic artist, I found that I love decoden. What is decoden, you ask? A fun and funky craft trend that started in Japan, decoden (also spelled dekoden) is for all of us who love glittery and embellished stuff . . . cell phones, our fingernails, clocks, you name it! The term "deco" is short for decorated and "den" is short for "denwa" meaning "phone" in Japanese. So what it literally really means is "decorated cell phone." You can decoden anything these days, but cell phone cases are the most popular and where the trend started.
Here is how I made my decoden cell phone case.
Gather These Supplies
- Cell phone case
- Mod Podge Collage Clay
- Jewelry Charms
- Rhinestones
The collage clay comes with three different decorating tips. It's just like using sugar frosting, but a lot easier. I should know because I'm a total failure at baking.
Just add the tip you want to the Collage Clay bag, then squeeze it through in little dollops.Embed whatever tchotchkes you want into the clay, which will be the texture of dessert frosting. I also sprinkled some glitter onto the clay while it was still wet. Then I upped the bling with rhinestones.
Collage Clay takes awhile to completely cure. I left my case on the windowsill for two days.
Once it's dry it's very durable. I'm ready to hit the beach with my Buried Treasure cell phone case!
I'd love for you to stop by and visit me on Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter or my blog Sew Country Chick where I will be crafting away!

This Valentine's Day, there is no better wine to celebrate new love with – or the love you already share with someone – than with a bottle of bubbly. But not just any sparkling wine – for the day named in honor of a young Roman priest, Valentine of Rome, who was martyred for secretly preforming wedding ceremonies during a ban in 269 AD, one should chose a special wine that adds color as well as style for this year's day of love.
Sparkling ros
Sure, you could grill another hot dog. Or, you could try one of these 30 recipes for foods you never knew you could cook on the grill.

Dear Green Wave supporter,
Earlier today, the New Orleans City Council voted to accept Councilmember Guidry's Interim Zoning District (IZD) proposal. While we are very disappointed with this decision, we are more resolved than ever to make Tulane Stadium a reality. And rest assured, we will.
Today's meeting reaffirmed a few things - supporters of Tulane University will rise up to tell the story of what our university has done for our community; the stadium has near universal support; and we will build Tulane Stadium.
The council chamber was filled with students, our own football and basketball student-athletes, alumni, fans, and many other friends. Countless of you have written your council members, and more than 2,400 have signed our petition in just two days. In fact, soon after the meeting Mayor Mitch Landrieu issued a statement in opposition to the IZD which is not surprising as he has been a proponent of Tulane Stadium from the start. The New Orleans Saints also issued a statement in support of the stadium; read here. We greatly appreciate the outcry of support this afternoon.
So what's next? President Cowen and I, our trustees and the planning committee are moving forward with the design and planning of Tulane Stadium. We will do so with an eye to opening in 2014, as initially planned. Despite the vote today, each council member endorsed the project and promised to facilitate the process so as not to delay our construction. We will continue, as we have for multiple months, working with our neighbors to reach resolution on some of their issues and are confident we will do so.
We urge you to continue expressing your support of this project and opposition of the IZD and will keep you updated every step of the way on www.TulaneStadium.com.
Roll Wave!

During the big game, these cheerleaders give the team and the fans their all with bright colored pom poms flying through the air. However, during their free time, these popular chicks get off on tempting the coach, a player or some random classmate with their sexual chants. If content sounding something like this, 'Oh…yes…' sounds good to you, then perhaps the site Cheerleaders is where you ought to set down your cash.
Whenever I think about cheerleaders, I imagine the firm flesh peeking out from under their brightly-colored skirts and pom poms waving through the air. Perhaps that was the site designer's inspiration as well because Cheerleaders is presented in an eye-opening color combination of yellowish-orange and blue. Not only does it look great, but also this site is well-organized and easy-to-use.
Currently, there are merely 29 videos available to members. You can download them in your choice of Windows Media or MPEG files. However, my experience leads me to believe that the full-length MPEGs look great, while the other ones are less interesting.
In one scene, one of the cheerleaders is getting into trouble at school. She may be a sweet chick for all I know, but I guess with all that practicing and hanging out with guys after class, her homework fell by the wayside. This naughty brunette offers to show him what she does with those guys all evening and some hardcore sucking, fucking, pussy licking, ass eating and heavy moaning ensues.
While I would like to say that there are a number of galleries for you to peruse as well, I can't. To date, the only images on this site are the thumbnails found beside the links for downloading each episode. Perhaps that's a reflection of the nonexclusivity of the site. Of course, this is better than nothing and it helps maintain the ease of use on the website in general.
Therefore, what we ought to discuss next is the bonus section. So far, there are25 extra sites that come with your membership to Cheerleaders. However, they aren't theme-related, which may be a problem for some users. Nevertheless, there are some more nubile chicks on sites like, Teen Girls and Drunk Girls that will fill the need for hardcore coed porn. In addition, there are games and other third-party links to explore.
If you didn't have a cheerleading squad at your college or you just want to relive the good ol' college days, Cheerleaders is definitely a great place to start for nonexclusive material. The content quality, navigation and design are great, but more than that, the price is definitely right, especially for those with a variable porn appetite.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Untimely Loss of Dairy Activist is Call to Arms
At a time when our nation's family dairy farmers are in jeopardy of losing their farms and the independent dairy industry is in a state of volatility due to the price of milk paid to farmers, higher feed costs, corporate consolidation in the supply chain–and what many believe is a flawed pricing strategy–it was a huge loss when on August 7, 2012, Bryan Wolfe, a dairy farmer and activist, was tragically killed working his haybine on his farm in Rome Township, Ohio. He was 55.
According to Arden Tewksbury, Manager of the Progressive Agriculture Organization (Pro-Ag), Bryan was a well-known and respected dairy farmer activist who continually worked to obtain a fair price for all dairy farmers. He felt very strongly that a cost of production formula should be developed (like S-1640; the Federal Milk Marketing Improvement Act) to ensure all dairy farmers would have a fair chance to survive this RAT RACE that many dairy farmers are experiencing.

Ben Taylor: Roots and Rhythms
Ben Taylor, son of legends James Taylor and Carly Simon, has roots as deep in the soil as he does in music, and he uses the stage as a way to spread awareness about local agriculture. He is an avid supporter of the Island Grown Initiative, a multi-faceted project based in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts that sponsors its own farm-to-school program, organizes a cadre of volunteer gleaners to harvest crops that would otherwise go to waste, educates beekeepers, and provides processing facilities for local poultry farmers.
Having heard about the program from his cousin Noli Taylor, Island Grown Schools' Program Coordinator, Ben noted that the organization "tickled his fancy" for promoting a strong sense of connectedness within the community to the place they call home. Civil Eats recently spoke to Ben about his involvement in good food issues.
As a musician, how did you become involved with issues regarding food and agriculture?
Before I wanted to be a musician, I was looking for anything else that I could do. I'd been on a lot of wilderness excursions and I loved being in nature. When I first moved out of my home as a teenager, I went to New Mexico and worked on an organic farm out on San Juan Pueblo and that was just really cool. The guy that I worked for was this incredible natural mystic and I developed a profound respect [for him] and a different idea of what it meant to be a gardener. Read more
Faces & Visions of the Food Movement: Albert Straus
Albert Straus is a dairy farmer and President of Straus Family Creamery located on the beautiful shores of Tomales Bay and the Point Reyes National Seashore, 60 miles north of San Francisco. He is an outspoken advocate for sustainable, non-GMO dairy production, farmland protection and environmental stewardship.
Albert's family farm, which has been operating for more than 65 years, began when his father, Bill Straus, began farming there 1941 with just 23 cows. Ellen Straus, Albert's mother, read the book Silent Spring by Rachel Carson in the early 1960s and began the family's strong commitment to environmental sustainability.
In 1993, the farm became the first certified organic dairy west of the Mississippi River, making Albert an industry innovator and organic pioneer. The creamery, which he founded in 1994, is a leading producer of the highest quality organic milk, yogurt, butter, sour cream, and ice cream. In 2004, Albert introduced methane-digester technology to convert dairy waste into energy, which today not only powers the farm but also powers his car. The extensive sustainability program that Albert implemented at the dairy and creamery also includes a closed-loop water reuse system; production of milk in reusable glass bottles; and an employee carpool program.
What issues have you been focused on?
Primarily it's the financial viability of our family farm. Specifically, the lack of availability of certified organic, verified non-GMO feeds for cows. There's pressure on farmers to grow GMO crops for fuel and not for food. I'm also focused on helping consumers and farmers keep GMOs out of our food supply. Read more
Faces & Visions of the Food Movement: Y. Armando Nieto
Over 1,000 people have gathered in Oakland, California to attend the Community Food Security Coalition Conference today, an annual gathering that, as Nieto says, is "a real opportunity to organize and a call to action to take back our food system." We are just steps from the tent city housing a lively group of Occupy-ers and the boarded Bank of America and Wells Fargo storefront windows along Broadway Street. In light of these converging movements and the urgency of communicating the needs of the 99 percent, it's fitting to highlight and champion the work of Y. Armando Nieto, Executive Director of the California Food and Justice Coalition. A child of the 60s, he is a staunch supporter of rising up and speaking your mind. Nieto is also a veteran of the environmental movement and a seasoned executive and development professional who is applying his business acumen towards good food for all. Let him inspire you to rise up and take a stand for what matters most to you and your community. The time is now. Read more

Author Elizabeth-Anne Vanek has a wonderful poem about Ash Wednesday. In it she writes: "You thumbed grit into my furrowed brow, marking me with the sign of mortality. … And I recalled other ashes etched into my heart by those who loved too little or not at all."
We are dust and have dust in our lives. Places where we have loved too little or been loved too little. Secrets hidden in life's corners to collect dust.
We don't open the door to those corners for fear that letting light shine upon that dust will reveal our true nature. It's ironic really. We fear our dust might be our true selves, and so we hide it. And yet, we truly are dust.
We are dust, young and old.
I remember one Ash Wednesday in seminary. A classmate brought her newborn forward to be anointed with ashes. That beautiful bald little head was marked with a smudged cross. A stark symbol. This little one, who had barely learned to breathe, for all his potential was dust. And to dust he would return.
We are all dust. We all have dust. No one can escape it.
Poet W.H. Auden reflected on this: "To us as individuals, it is a cause for rejoicing that we are not alone, that all of us, irrespective of age or sex or rank or talent, are in the same boat."
We are all in the same boat, even the children. We are promised that this is not the end of it — there are more surprises to be had. Even for the children. Yet none of us will make it through without a smudge on our brow, a sign that we are indeed all in the same boat.
But we are with the Savior, who loves us enough to become dusty and to show us that this life, with all its dark corners, is redeemed and beautiful in the hands of a God who loves.
Even the children.
Especially the children.

Software is Key to Performance
For many years, the way to get better performance from your software was to buy the next processor - the hardware escalator. That escalator has essentially now stopped. With the advent of multicore/many-core it is common to see untreated applications slow down when the next processors are introduced.
Software has had to/still needs to evolve to take account of the multicore architectures and all of the challenges that they entail. This is true from laptops to supercomputers and everything in-between. This is a massive task and frankly there isn't enough skilled effort available to keep pace with the changes required.
At NAG we've been working in many ways to help our collaborators keep ahead of the game. We've been working on the NAG Library for SMP & Multicore since 1997 (world-first) and this is considered a vital tool for many users. We've also had R&D projects working on numerical routines for both GPUs and Intel's MIC. We'll be showcasing the NAG Library for SMP & Multicore as well as the research into new architectures during ISC2012 in Hamburg this June.
NAG has also been providing computational science and engineering (CSE) support for the UK national supercomputing service, HECToR, at the level of around 20 people per annum for over 5 years. Over that time there have been many fantastic success stories demonstrating the benefit of investing in software scalability and performance. As a result of the acknowledged success of direct CSE support in a national service, EPSRC have recently supported a trial of a similar service regional centre/university. (In fact, overall EPSRC sponsors over £9m per annum of software support, which is the envy of major research communities around the world).
NAG has been extending its HPC Services provision over recent years, providing procurement advice and CSE support on 4 continents to both research and industry, spreading the message that continuing quality software development is key to success.
High Performance Computing is much more than High Performance Computers.
First Look: The NAG Library for SMP & Multicore, Mark 23
The latest update of NAG's premier numerical library is now available. If you're unaware of this extensive numerical library optimized for use of HPC and multicore systems then take five minutes to learn more about its contents and uses.
At the latest release (Mark 23), the NAG Library for SMP & Multicore contains mathematical and statistical routines that have been optimized for use of HPC systems. At each new release new routines are added and many of the existing routines are enhanced to gain even better speed-ups. At Mark 23 there are now 1,700 routines in the SMP & Multicore Library, with about a third of these being parallelized for use on multiple cores.
Mark 23 Highlights Include:
- Parallelism in the areas of pseudorandom number generators, two-dimensional wavelets, particle swarm optimization, four and five-dimensional data interpolation routines, hierarchical mixed effects regression routines and more sparse eigensolver routines.
- Over 70 tuned LAPACK routines and
- Over 250 routines enhanced through calling tuned LAPACK routines (including: nonlinear equations, matrix calculations, eigenproblems, Cholesky factorization).
More about the new functionality can be found on our website.
Performance Gains: NAG Library for SMP & Multicore Studies
One illustration of the performance benefits of the NAG Library for SMP & Multicore on multiple processors is a NAG routine which computes Kendall and/or Spearman nonparametric rank correlation coefficients for a set of data.
The results (see bar chart) show how, for a problem with 500 variable and 2,000 observations, the run time reduces as the number of cores being used increases.
These results were obtained on a 24 core system comprising two AMD Opteron 6174 processors, with each processor having 12 cores running at 2.2 GHz. More performance studies can be found here.

Elk Grove police investigate rape attempt at softball complex | Crime
ELK GROVE, CA - A woman fended off a man trying to sexually assault her at the Elk Grove Regional Park softball complex parking lot Sunday evening, say police.
The 37-year-old woman was reaching into the back seat of her vehicle when a man came up behind her and tried to rape her, according to Officer Chris Trim.
"It's a crime of opportunity. Her back was to the suspect. That was the crime the gentleman was looking for," Trim said.
The woman fought off the assailant, pushing and punching him until he ran off in a northbound direction through the park, Trim said.
The victim described the attacker as a white or Hispanic man, approximately 30 to 40 years old with short, messy dark hair. He was 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighed 165 pounds. She said he had "5 o'clock shadow" beard growth and wore a black sweatshirt.
Police said park officials have ramped up security by adding more patrols around Elk Grove Regional Park.
"We're here all the time. It's usually pretty safe," parent Patrick Zalasky said.
But, runner Eleane Mego said she's going to carry her pepper spray from now on.
"It's kind of secluded sometimes," Mego said. "I notice there's a lot of runners going back and forth but it kind of varies."
Anyone with information about the assault was urged to call the Elk Grove Police Department Detective Bureau at (916) 478-8060 or Crime Alert at (916) 443-HELP (4357).
Callers to Crime Alert can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.00. Tips can also be sent via SMS text message by entering CRIMES (274637) on a cell phone, followed by Tip732 (agency identification number) and the message.

Pet Safety For 4th of July: Tips on Keeping Your Animals Safe and Happy
Grab your sparklers and American flags, because the Fourth of July is here! We can't wait to light up the barbecue and grill a giant pile of hot dogs, but let's not forget about about the most important pups in your life... your pets! Keeping your furry friends around for Fourth of July can be a blast (after all, they're part of the family too, right?), but it's important to play it safe.
Check out our top five pet safety guidelines that can make or break your patriotic day!
1. Keep them inside during fireworks.
If your animals are skittish during thunderstorms, imagine what they'll be like when you set off your Fourth of July fireworks. Plan ahead by making sure the critters are inside the house and away from windows before you set off your display, and it might be a good idea to check on them right after the festivities are over. Chances are they'll be cowering in a corner somewhere, so a comforting rawhide bone might be in order. Or a trip to Cesar Millan the Dog Whisperer, either way.
2. Watch what they eat.
If you plan on letting your pets chill outside during your barbecue, keep an eye on what they eat. People will likely leave food all over the yard, and your pals with paws will definitely be tempted to snag a bite... or five. Make sure your guests know to keep an eye on their food — and ask them not to feed your pets greasy bits of hot dog or burger. Otherwise, you might spend the evening cleaning up doggy vomit — or taking an emergency trip to the vet! Hardly a patriotic finish to July 4th.
3. Keep them hydrated.
Celebrating July 4th with your pets is great and all, but don't forget that they're covered in a thick coat of fur. It's vital that you keep your critters well hydrated with plenty of H20 — especially if they'll be spending the day outside with you. Make sure to replenish their water bowls as needed, and you can even let them chew on ice if they need a quick cool-down!
4. Check in on them frequently.
Are you keeping your pets indoors while you and your family party outside? Might not be a bad plan, just make sure to check in on your little pals regularly to ease their anxiety. Chances are they'll be nervous with all the unknown visitors at the house, and they'll definitely appreciate seeing a friendly face every few hours. If you're keeping your pets in their crates, surround them with their favorite comfort toys, fresh water, and a cozy blanket.
5. Check collars and tags.
Double check that your pets' name tags are completely updated and that their collars are securely fastened before starting your Fourth of July festivities. With so many people coming in and out of the house, your pet could easily wander off and get lost! If you're keeping your critters inside, ask your friends to close the front door securely behind them.

Police Ombudsman's office and Policing Board publish research on promoting the rights of people with learning disabilities
The Police Ombudsman's Office and the Northern Ireland Policing Board have today (Wednesday 24 August) published a report aimed at helping to promote the rights of one of the most vulnerable groups in local society - people with learning disabilities.
The report is the outcome of a major research project co-funded by the Police Ombudsman's Office and the Policing Board into the issues faced by people with learning disabilities when dealing with the police and policing organisations.
Almost 300 people with learning disabilities, along with key workers and organisations in the learning disability sector, and representatives of the police, policing organisations and criminal justice bodies were consulted during the project.
The study found that people with learning disabilities had largely positive views and experiences of the police.
But it also found that many instances of bullying and harassment of people with learning disabilities were likely to go unreported because the victims did not realise that they had been a victim of crime, or were unwilling to report it.
The report makes a total of 24 recommendations to help ensure that the police and policing organisations respond appropriately to the needs of people with learning disabilities, and also to help combat disability hate crime.
Police Ombudsman Al Hutchinson said: "Many people with learning difficulties suffer bullying and harassment, but all too often they suffer in silence.
"This report is about helping to ensure that disability hate crime is reported and that the best procedures are in place for combating it. It's also about ensuring that people with learning disabilities are treated at all times with dignity, fairness, equality and respect."
Conall McDevitt, Chair of the Policing Board's Human Rights and Professional Standards Committee said: "It is welcome that people with learning disabilities had largely positive views and experiences of the police but there are a number of issues within policing and the wider criminal justice system that must be improved. People with learning disabilities have the same right to justice and great policing as anyone else. However it is important that the PSNI and other criminal justice agencies plan to ensure that right is fully upheld. As a Board we want to ensure that policing is accessible to everyone in our community and delivers a good service. The findings from this Report will help us do that."
Donal McDade, of Social Market Research Limited, which conducted the research project, stated: "This landmark piece of research provides a window into how those with learning disabilities interact with policing arrangements in Northern Ireland. Social Market Research (SMR) is privileged to have been involved in the study, and I hope this research evidence will help support police and criminal justice organisations to better understand the challenges that people with learning disability face, as well as to make their services more responsive to the needs of this vulnerable group."
Maureen Piggot, the Director of Mencap in Northern Ireland, commented "Mencap commends the Policing Ombudsman's Office and NI Policing Board for commissioning this important research. It is by listening to the views and experiences of people with a learning disability that we can find out what changes are needed if the policing and criminal justice agencies are to deliver equal access to justice for all. We urge that the recommendations of the report are implemented as a matter of urgency so that people with a learning disability can access the extra support they need to enjoy the same rights as others in our society".
Chief Superintendent Peter Farrar, Deputy Head of the PSNI's Criminal Justice Department, added:
"We welcome the publication of today's report. We will look at recommendations made within it and examine how we can implement these throughout the Police Service. The Police Service is fully committed to working with all people across Northern Ireland as part of our delivery of a more personal, professional, protective policing service to everyone in our communities. This is a positive report for policing and demonstrates how we promote engagement with people with learning disabilities."
The full report "Views and Experiences of People with Learning Disabilities in Relation to Policing Arrangements in Northern Ireland", along with an Easy Read version of the document, is available at www.policeombudsman.org and also at www.nipolicingboard.co.uk
The research included face-to-face interviews with people with learning disabilities, as well as key workers and organisations from the learning disability sector, and representatives of the police and policing and criminal justice organisations. Researchers also surveyed the opinions of 240 people with learning disabilities, from across Northern Ireland.
The research suggested that people with learning disabilities had generally positive opinions of police. 77% of those who had contacted police because they had been victimised reported that they were satisfied with the police response.
The report also found very low levels of awareness among people with a learning disability of policing organisations such as the Police Ombudsman's Office, the Policing Board and District Policing Partnerships.
The report makes a total of 24 recommendations, including:
· training in learning disability awareness for police officers and staff within the criminal justice system
· use of a standardised checklist to help staff in policing organisations identify learning disability
· the provision of easy read literature
· measures to increase awareness that bullying and harassment of people with learning disabilities is a hate crime, among people with a learning disability and their families, carers and social care personnel
· measures to increase awareness among people with a learning disability about how to report and protect themselves against crime, particularly bullying and harassment
· the sharing of information about the needs of people with learning disabilities between policing organisations, other statutory bodies and community and voluntary agencies
· measures to improve awareness of policing organisations such as the Police Ombudsman's Office, the Policing Board, and the District Policing Partnerships, and of how to make a complaint against police.

Puberty is the name for the time when your body goes through changes and you begin to go from being a child to an adult. Your hormone levels will change, you will develop breasts, grow taller, and start your menstrual periods. Puberty usually starts between 8 and 13 years of age. During puberty, the same changes happen to all girls, but the time they happen is different for every girl. These changes are all part of becoming a woman. They are something to celebrate!
When the time is right, your body sends a signal (FSH, LH) from the pituitary gland in your brain to your ovaries for puberty to begin.
Breast development: Your breasts will start to grow. Your breasts will start as breast "buds", small mounds beneath the nipple and areola. (The areola is the dark area surrounding your nipple.) One breast may start growing before the other, sometimes even 6 months before the other. In the beginning, they may hurt sometimes and be tender when they are touched. But this will go away as your breasts become rounder and fuller. The nipple and areola also darken. Many girls have breasts that develop unevenly; one breast may be bigger than the other. This is perfectly normal. Many women have one breast that is slightly larger than the other, but the difference in breast size usually decreases as your breasts develop. Young women may have different breast sizes because of differences in families, hormones, and weight. Rapid development of breasts can lead to spoke-like stretch marks, but these will lighten with time. Towards the end of puberty, you may also grow a small amount of hair around your areola.
You may need to start thinking about wearing a bra to support your breasts. Talk to your mother, an older sister, or an adult that you feel comfortable with about buying some bras.
Diagrams below show the 5 stages of breast development:
Pubic and underarm hair: You will start to grow hair around your pubic area (around your vagina) and under your arms. This usually happens after you start to develop breasts, but for many girls, pubic hair starts first. You will probably get pubic hair before you get underarm hair. Underarm hair usually comes near the end of puberty. At first, you will probably just have a few fine hairs in your pubic area and under your arms. Late in puberty, the hair will become thicker and curlier. Some girls decide to shave the hair under their arms. There are no health reasons to do so, but some girls simply prefer not to have underarm hair. It's up to you if you want to shave. Talk to your mom or another adult that you feel comfortable talking to about this.
Diagrams below show the 5 stages of pubic hair development:
Growth spurt and body shape change: Most girls have a growth spurt the year before they get their menstrual period. Your feet and hands will usually be the first parts to grow, and then the rest of your body will follow. After you get your first period, you will grow more slowly. But you will probably grow about another 1 or 2 inches after your first period. During puberty, your hips will get wider as your waist gets smaller. You will develop a healthy, curvy shape. Talk to your health care provider if you are not growing and changing by age 13. It's important to get check-ups during puberty to make sure that your height and weight are normal.
Vaginal discharge: Most girls notice a yellow or white stain in the crotch of their underpants as they go through puberty. This is a normal fluid that helps clean and moisten your vagina. However, if you have itching, odor, or irritation around your vagina, this could mean that you have an infection. If you have any of these symptoms, talk to your health care provider. You will usually get your period a year after you first have discharge from your vagina.
Skin: Your skin may get oilier. You may get some pimples and acne. This is because of more hormones and oil glands that become more active during puberty. You should be washing your skin at least once daily with soap and warm water. Don't scrub too hard because this can irritate your skin and cause even more acne. Wash your hair regularly and keep your face and hands clean. You can treat acne with medications that you can buy in a drugstore, or get from your primary care clinician or a dermatologist (a doctor that treats skin problems) if the problem is more serious. Birth control pills that you take by mouth often make acne better.
Sweat/Perspiration: Your sweat glands will become more active during puberty. This can cause perspiration odor. This is a good time to go shopping for deodorant, to help fight the odor.
Menstruation: You will also start getting your period. Most girls start getting their periods about 2 and a half years after they first start developing breasts, some girls may start just 1 year after breast development, and other girls often start 3-4 years after breast development. Most girls have their first period between the ages of 12 and 13, but some girls start as early as age 9, and others as late as 15 or 16.

MINSK, BELARUS: Victoria Azarenka will be hoping to build on back-to-back tournament victories to send Belarus onwards and upwards in its Fed Cup by BNP Paribas World Group II play-off tie.
Azarenka, the world No. 5, faces Anett Kontaveit of Estonia, the Baltic No. 2, in the opening rubber at the Minsk Palace of Sport on Saturday, and is confident of putting Belarus in a strong position on day one.
"I'm feeling very good, it took a little time to adapt to the hard courts after clay, but I'm very excited to play in front of my people, and we're all looking forward to tomorrow and Sunday. Fed Cup is very important because we are all individuals, and when we have time to play for a country, it's a special moment, not only for ourselves, but for the country and the sport."
The two nations have recent Fed Cup history, Estonia having defeated Belarus in a thrilling Europe/Africa Zone Group I play-off in February 2009. In front of a raucous Tallinn crowd, Kaia Kanepi unsettled and unseated Azarenka to send the little-known Baltic nation up into World Group II for 2010.
But the tables have turned for this weekend's play-off. Estonia, the incumbent Group II residents, are without their injured No.1 player Kanepi, while Belarus, buoyed by its escape from the tricky clutches of the Zone Group I and the excellent recent form of Azarenka, is fancied to gain revenge in front of a home crowd.
"I think it's completely different," said Azarenka, the highest-ranked Belarusian female since Natasha Zvereva ascended to world No. 5 in May 1989. "We're different players, different courts, different conditions, we just have to look forward, keep our focus."
Her opponent, 15-year-old Kontaveit, is making only her second Fed Cup appearance, and although she knows she is unlikely to cause an upset, is confident that it will be an experience that will stand her in good stead.
"I just have to do what I can, just do my best, and that's all that I can do. The team have been really supportive and helping me a lot."
Azarenka will be followed onto court by compatriot Olga Govortsova, who takes on Estonian No. 1 Margit Ruutel.
"I'm very excited to play tomorrow," said Ruutel. "I've never played against Govortosova, I'm going to fight and do my best…we'll see what happens. It will be tough, I know everybody is going to be on their side, but I hope there are some few fans to help us."
Following the reverse singles, the two teams have nominated Azarenka and Govortsova for Belarus to face the experienced Maret Ani and newcomer 16-year-old Eva Paalma for the final doubles rubber on Sunday.
The winner of this weekend's tie will be promoted to World Group II in 2012, while the loser will be relegated to Europe/Africa Zone Group I in 2012.

On Tap is brought to you by Rosati's Pizza, 701 S. Gregory, Urabana. 328-2334.
This week, Shane and Ryan are both in house to join me for some Red Rocket Ale, from Bear Republic Brewing Co. This thing is a "meaty" little beer. The folks from Bear Republic call this a "bastardized Scottish Ale". It pours with a nice dark red, caramel color. There's a good nose on this one with some hops, some sweet, dark fruit notes coming through. And it tastes really good. There's definitely some caramel in there with some hints of raisin in there, and it finishes with a spicy, peppery hops aftertaste. The hops aren't bitter, just spicy, tasty and delicious.
Ryan and I give this a rock solid 8.5 while Shane bumps it up to a 9, which for him is pretty good. Shane thinks the Combo Sandwich from Rosati's would pair perfectly with this, and I think he's right. Sausage covered with beef and cheese…mmm, that's a good little combo right there.

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
"I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread." (Job 23:12b NIV)
The Bible repeatedly urges us to meditate on who God is, what he has done, and what he has said.
It is impossible to be God's friend apart from knowing what he says. You can't love God unless you know him, and you can't know him without knowing his Word. The Bible says God "revealed himself to Samuel through his word" (1 Samuel 3:21).
God still uses that method today. While you cannot spend all day studying the Bible, you can think about it throughout the day, recalling verses you have read or memorized and mulling them over in your mind.
Meditation is often misunderstood as some difficult, mysterious ritual practiced by isolated monks and mystics. But meditation is simply focused thinking — a skill anyone can learn and use anywhere.
When you think about a problem over and over in your mind, that's called worry. When you think about God's Word over and over, that's meditation. If you know how to worry, you already know how to meditate! You just need to switch your attention from your problems to Bible verses. The more you meditate on God's Word, the less you will have to worry about.
The reason God considered Job and David his close friends was that they valued his Word above everything else, and they thought about it continually throughout the day. Job admitted, "I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread" (Job 23:12).
When you read your Bible or hear a sermon or listen to a CD, don't just forget it and walk away. Develop the practice of reviewing the truth in your mind, thinking about it over and over. The more time you spend reviewing what God has said, the more you will understand the "secrets" of this life that most people miss.
Rick Warren is the founding pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., one of America's largest and most influential churches. Rick is author of the New York Times bestseller The Purpose Driven Life. His book, The Purpose Driven Church, was named one of the 100 Christian books that changed the 20th century. He is also founder of Pastors.com, a global Internet community for pastors.

If you'd like to improve all of your relationships then you'll want to experience Pastor Rick's new four week DVD study called, Awesome Relationships. In this amazing study Pastor Rick shows you how to be intentional about building up your relationships so you can experience the awesome relationships that you desire.
One of the great tasks of life is building awesome relationships. God wants us to learn how to love, and the only way we can do that is when we're sharing life with other people.
