text: Hurricane, Buffalo advance at softball tourney By Tommy R. Atkinson May 22, 2013 Story Share Jeff Baughan Buffalo's Ali Burdette fired a three-hit shutout, striking out seven and allowing just three hits, in Wednesday's 1-0 win over Wheeling Central. VIENNA - Hurricane was wondering what all the fuss was about Wednesday while Buffalo kept marching to its own drummer.The Redskins and Bison each won both of their games in Class AAA and Class A, respectively, and advanced to today's championship round undefeated. Each would have to lose twice in order to not win their respective titles, a tall order considering how well both are playing. Hurricane (32-6), which finished third in the state sportswriters' poll, will take on the Jefferson-Wheeling Park winner at 2 p.m. today on Jackson Park's Field 3 in the AAA championship round. Top-ranked Buffalo (33-4), the two-time defending state champion, will face the Wheeling Central-Moorefield winner at 2:15 p.m. in the Class A title matchup on Field 1. (For pairings and results, see Page 2B).Hurricane bashed its way to an 11-4 victory over Jefferson behind freshman No. 9 hitter Amber Null's 2-for-3 effort with a double and three RBIs to finish off quite a day. In the opener Wednesday morning, Null singled in the winning run in the bottom of the seventh as the Redskins won their first tournament game in school history, a 2-1 decision over Wheeling Park."It's fantastic,'' said Hurricane senior Linzie Reynolds, who singled three times against Jefferson after going hitless versus Wheeling Park. "I'm so proud of my team. We've been doing it all year. [We're] just focused and ready to win and ready to go.''Buffalo has relied on its pitching duo of junior Chelsey Parkins and sophomore Ali Burdette all season and the two didn't disappoint in their closes games to date. Parkins fired a two-hit shutout with nine strikeouts, including whiffing the last four batters, in a 1-0 decision over Moorefield, last year's state runner-up, in the evening session.That matched Burdette's earlier effort, as she tossed a three-hit shutout with seven punchouts in a 1-0 win over Wheeling Central."We never give up,'' said Parkins. "We had chances where we could have scored a lot more.'' "We've been working on our pitches and hitting our spots,'' added Burdette. "It was kind of nerve wracking where we couldn't hit the ball.''Hurricane cruised to a 7-0 lead through the first three innings against unranked Jefferson, plating five in the third on Null's two-run double, junior Addie Fullen's run-scoring double and freshman Maddie Hebb's RBI single. Things got a little tight in the fourth, as Jefferson pulled within 7-4 and was looking for more with the bases loaded and two outs, but Redskins relief pitcher Emily Davis forced a groundout to end the threat.The Redskins added a run on senior Nicole Pierson's single in the fifth for an 8-4 advantage, and they plated two more runs on two errors in the sixth for a 10-4 edge. Fullen finished 3 for 4, while Rogers pounded out a pair of doubles as Hurricane smashed 16 hits.Hurricane had to grind out the first victory against Park after allowing the Patriots to knot the game 1-1 in the top of the seventh on an error. Park knocked out No. 1 and defending state champion John Marshall in the regional final. The Redskins responded with Fullen's leadoff single then Davis coaxed a walk to put runners at first and second in the bottom of the frame. Hebb struck out, but Null came through on an 0-2 count for her only hit of the game. Rogers allowed one earned run on one hit with four punchouts and no walks."You can't ask for more than 2-0,'' said Hurricane coach Josh Caldwell. "I thought we were a little tentative in the first game and we came back and hit the ball hard [in the second game]. I think that takes the pressure off when you jump out to a three- or four-run lead. They have one goal and that's to win it.''Hurricane has already run a gauntlet of ranked teams leading up to states, dispatching No. 4 Lincoln County, No. 2 Cabell Midland and No. 8 St. Albans. That trio also has won state titles. "With the teams we've gotten through I don't think we're overmatched by anybody,'' Caldwell said.Buffalo scored what proved to be the winning run against Moorefield in the fourth on Katie Allen's bases-loaded walk. The first two hitters flied out, but Chase Christy and Noell Dingess worked walks while Olivia Dunn singled to set up Allen. That was all the Bison, who have won 21 in a row, needed with Parkins dealing."They're going to give you everything they've got and that's a lot,'' said Buffalo coach Darrell Moore of Burdette and Parkins.The Bison earned a measure of revenge in the opener versus the Maroon Knights, who were the last Class A team to beat them with an 11-9 decision on March 30 in Wheeling.Buffalo's Katie Higginbotham singled in the winning run with one out in the bottom of the sixth. After Allen flied out, Paige England reached on an error then moved to second on a wild pitch. Taylor Briscoe followed with a single to set up Higginbotham's hit. Burdette surrendered only three singles with two walks.Central's Madison Basinger whiffed eight and walked none in six innings. The heavy-hitting Bison only had eight hits in two games, but found a way each time."We don't care how we get to the championship,'' said Moore. "A lot of good strokes, but they're making the catches. I'm proud of these girls."They've had pressure on them all year long [as the] No. 1 team in the state. They could have folded under pressure, but they came through. They're calm as cucumbers. They're ready to go.''Reach Tommy R. Atkinson at email@example.com or 304-348-4811.

After 19 years, it finally happened. My main credit card, the one I use for most purchases, was compromised.
I bought my wife's Valentine's Day gift from a local merchant using the card. The merchant didn't run the card immediately — which was OK because the fraud might have been missed for a longer period of time — but when she did, the card had a hold on it.
One of the benefits of living in a town where everybody knows everybody is that she immediately called me, not only to alert me that something weird was going on, but also to find out how else I was going to pay.
I immediately called the Secretary of Health and Human Services at our house, and within 10 minutes, the card was cancelled and a new card with a new number was in the mail to us.
The Secretary learned that the hold had been put on after the thief had used the card to make a long-distance call in Iowa. The call was for under $5, and how they caught it remains a mystery to me.
Regardless, we have been thinking about where the thief got the number from.
The most likely suspect is a Twin Cities restaurant that we ate at on the first night of the state newspaper convention at the end of January.
We are conservative in our banking habits, and I usually pay cash when we go out for dinner. That night, however, I used the card. I remember that we had a female waitress who picked up the card, but that a male waiter brought it back. If you asked me to describe them, however, I couldn't. It seemed like different restaurant employees were stopping by our table throughout our meal.
Credit card fraud and identity theft remains a growing problem. The latest tactic for thievery involves the use of smart phones. The person standing behind you in line at the checkout may appear to be talking to a friend on the phone when he or she is actually taking photos of your credit card, front and back.
If that continues, someday soon retailers will be installing curtains at each register to keep transactions private.
Another problem with cell phones works the other way. A report released Wednesday by Javelin Strategy & Research found that 7 percent of all smartphone users were victims of identity theft in 2011, about a third more likely than non-users of smart- phones. The reason is that 62 percent of smartphone users fail to use password protection for their home screens. That gives anyone who finds or steals a smartphone access to all the information on the phone.
I guess I'm lucky that way. I have a not-so-smart cell phone operated by a not-so-smart user.
The Javelin study also found that nearly 12 million Americans were victims of identity theft in 2011, a 13 percent increase over 2010.
Part of that was attributable to what is known in the credit card industry as a "data breach." A data breach is when someone hacks into a long list of customer credit card numbers held by an individual company. The Javelin study found that the number of people whose information was accessed in this way increased by 67 percent in 2011. The chances of becoming a victim of identity fraud increase 9.5 times for those people whose information is taken in a data breach.
How big is the problem? A 2006 study found that 7 cents of every $100 spent using a credit card was spent fraudulently by a thief. That may not sound like much until one realizes that trillions of dollars change hands annually. Credit card fraud is now a billion dollar industry.
Under the law, credit card holders are limited to $50 in losses due to fraudulent use by someone else. However, nothing is free, and quicker detection holds down overall consumer costs for everyone. Our credit card company was on top it, and for that we are grateful.
At the same time, we are frustrated by this 21st century crime that so many have no scruples about committing.

'Difficult to say which Khan is the best'
"I have been to eight-nine countries during first 12 years of my life. This has made me extremely adaptable," said Katrina who was in Gurgaon to launch the web portal of jewellery brand Gitanjali.
The Hindi film industry is often termed as 'male-dominated'. However, for this 28-year-old actress, there is no relevance of this concept and all one needs is good and professional work. Having worked with the three Khans – Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir, in upcoming Dhoom 3, the question of who is the best among the trio was bound to come to her.
Replying diplomatically she said they are equal in terms of talent and stardom. "It is difficult to answer who is the best... but yes, the common thing among them is talent and stardom," said Katrina, whose latest film was Yash Chopra's last directorial venture, Jab Tak Hai Jaan with SRK.
Dubbing the 'top place' as a 'different altitude', Katrina said she was never under pressure to be on the top. "Frankly, I don't feel very much in the top slot. When it comes to life beyond work and profession, I prefer to be in the company of my friends, most of whom are not actors." she said.
Katrina revealed her plans of shooting for her new film in the City come February. She also added that a lot of effort is being put in to make Dhoom 3 a big success.

A Brigham Young University sophomore has taken to the pages of Cosmo to protest the school's approach on premarital sex.
In an article that appeared Wednesday on Cosmopolitan's website, Keli Byers argues that BYU's Honor Code codifies harmful beliefs that sexual women are ruined, and, with its rules about sexual behavior and modesty, effectively shames women.
"The truth is, I'm not a virgin. I'm a sexual woman and a proud feminist, and I don't feel bad about it. But it's hard to admit that, because women at BYU who aren't virgins are treated as inferiors and that's not fair," Byers said in the story.

At the still point of the turning world.
T.S. Eliot
Years ago, I worked with a little girl I will call Anna. She was nine years old. Her mother and father were on the verge of a divorce, and understandably, she was in conflict emotionally. Anna also had a mild scoliosis--a slight lateral curvature of the spine. Although the condition was not acute, she pulled over to one side. Tension from the family circumstances exaggerated this tendency, involving a strong downward pull of her shoulder, almost as if she were cradling herself. Her father brought Anna in for a lesson, and while we were working the exaggerated pull downward and inward of the shoulder most affected by her scoliosis began to dissipate to the point of letting go completely.
There was a sudden rush of blood and energy to the affected shoulder, and, based upon experience, I wondered whether Anna might not become faint. When I asked her how she was feeling she began to complain of lightheadedness. I picked her up and placed her on my teaching table. When she began to perk up a bit, I asked her what she had experienced shortly before feeling faint. 'I felt like a tiger in a cage,' she replied.
Emotion bound and repressed, to her as solid and as constrictive as a cage! A little later, while continuing to work with her on the table, I asked, 'What now, Anna? How do you feel now?' 'I feel like a clown in a circus,' she replied. So, the energy was on the move. The tiger had changed into a clown, and the cage was transformed into a circus. A little later, while working, I asked, 'What now, Anna?' 'I feel like a light bulb!,' she replied.
Anna was radiating a 'self' unmoved by her parents' struggles. Her little life was connected to something apart from those exterior forces that had affected her negatively. I watched her translate the lesson into her own smiling experience and asked again, 'Anna, what are you experiencing now?' 'Well,' she responded, 'somebody just switched off the light, but the bulb is still there, burning softly inside.' From the mouths of babes! Her father, who was observing the lesson, began to cry. His daughter was feeling comfortable and secure, not affected by the world and its fickle inconsistencies.
Certainly, there are circumstances and events beyond one's control, but when through direct experience a person is made aware of his or her own inner being as having support from the deep interconnectedness between one's self and all life, then no degree of 'slings and arrows of outrageous fortune' can quench their fire or put out their light--the glow, the hope, the feeling that beneath the habit of identity, one belongs to, and is part of, something greater.
How does Anna's story relate to the Alexander Technique? Within our bodies, there are specific mechanisms of postural reflexes that reassert balance moment by moment. When not interfered with, they function well and provide us with ease, grace, and fluidity of movement and with a sense of purpose and well being as we go about our daily tasks and interactions with others. However, if we interfere with these mechanisms (i.e., our postural reflexes), we must compensate.
Herein lies the rub.
Feeling little kinship towards the body within which we give expression to our sense of 'self,' we create our own support and hold ourselves together by 'doing' something, by 'holding on.' In doing this, however, we cease to allow our natural design to fulfill its function. We operate under the delusion that without individual effort and determination, we will be cut off, set apart--at worst isolated, from those with whom we appear to exist in relationship.
Metaphorically, we are like the newborn, who when the umbilical cord is severed, might experience a moment where continued sustenance is uncertain. When a tender thread breaks which once provided connection to a source of nourishment, a space appears wherein a need must be fulfilled. And, from that time on, unless immediate reassurance is provided (e.g., the newborn is picked up and held), the baby risks having to rely upon its tiny self (to the exclusion of interconnectedness), for support.
This, of course, is a false assumption. The fact of support does not disappear. Only our awareness of the connection does, and it works interactively. The baby reaches out, expressing specific reaching reflexes, and the adult responds, assuming the role of provider. If, however, the adult does not respond, the reaching is unfulfilled, and the child must wait until the next time. While waiting, the child begins to invent its own support.
While simpler life forms appear to behave with a certain ecological awareness, we, in losing our connection, define ourselves apart from mutual existence, inventing support through movement associated with the 'habit of identity.'
While simpler life forms appear to behave with a certain ecological awareness, we, in losing our connection, define ourselves apart from mutual existence, inventing support through movement associated with the 'habit of identity.' note1 We set ourselves farther and farther apart from 'inter-being.'note2 Consequently, we mimic other people, who have themselves lost their own awareness of, and subsequently their access to, support.
In practical terms, if we are to reclaim our experience of being supported, we must find out how and when we are interfering with interaction, cease to reinforce the inconsonant patterns, and return to an awareness of the whole. However, only when support is part of one's awareness will this experience be available. Otherwise, voluntary muscular effort impedes postural reflex and muscular response, and we use ourselves in ways that we have not been designed to be used in our attempt to accomplish hopes, dreams, and aspirations. Then, living through a day is more effort than pleasure. Relationships remain strangely unfulfilled, more burdening than mutually sustaining. Movement, though purposeful, is strained. if all is effort, then where is the simple joy of being alive, of moving mutually in this perpetual dance of life.
F. Matthias Alexander maintained that to recapture the unified condition, we had only to 'come to full stop, and return to conscious simple living, believing in the unity of all things' (Constructive Conscious Control of The Individual). His 'means' of returning to this simple state of being requires a commitment to change moment by moment in the ongoing present. His teaching posits a highly disciplined personal observation of the way you use yourself while pursuing whatever purpose, goal, or 'end' you have in mind.
The phrase 'come to full stop' meant to Alexander the withholding of consent to any reaction discovered in the moment to be non-constructive and out of harmony with the whole, while simultaneously allowing awareness to expand within that moment to include the possibility of an altogether different response. Accomplishing this involves using a specific 'means,' whereby the person directs attention towards enlivening the postural reflexes which, because of their interactive functional design, foster a unified field of awareness and perception.
Not unlike what he observed about himself during the evolution of his technique, Alexander found in teaching his method to others that the student's unreliable kinesthetic perception was a major stumbling block to learning. He became convinced that to 'feel right,' people always carried out their actions in a way that felt familiar to them. He solved this problem by developing a way of using his hands that was able to bring into the student's kinesthetic awareness both the habitual and non-habitual possibilities of response. This particular use of the teacher's hands provides kinesthetic information that is unavailable to the person who acts or moves by means of habitual reaction.
Letting go of old, but familiar ways may cause the student to feel uncertain. However, because an Alexander teacher's hands empower the student as a whole and complete person, rather than as one who is partially aware and disconnected, the student feels secure in letting go of old, unreliable habits. The person can then move and interact with the environment according to the design of the human organism. The student can perceive, recognize, and feel his own internal support system. There is less of a need 'to do something' other than what is essential and appropriate.
The Alexander Technique teaches a person how to discriminate among the kinesthetic impressions that are most closely identified with habit and identity, and how to eliminate the elements of learned behavior that interfere with constructive and mutually rewarding response. The implication of using the teaching as a practical means of identifying unrecognized patterns of behavior and choosing not to continue to reinforce them expands the whole range of learning, interaction, and human potential. The Technique speaks to all persons who are interested in change and the freedom to make non-habitual choices, offering increased possibilities in daily interaction and in one's overall experience of life.
Experiencing joy in oneself as being a part of 'the unity of all things' requires participation: an active commitment to the present. Actions cannot simply be accepted at face value as being constructive, nor can perception regarding what is appropriate, given the circumstances, necessarily be considered as accurate, so long as one is principally governed by achieving the 'end' result.
With no attention to the 'means,' whereby we accomplish what we set out to do, we miss the transitional moments of life--where all is potential, moving towards life, moving towards a cohesive whole that is completely interactive and interdependent. Beset by habitual responses and motivated by the feeling that we must be in charge, we perform apart from the interactive nature of our design, to the point where we too often miss the cue to participate.
The joy of support, then, lies waiting to be recognized, listened to, acknowledged. Its presentation is elusive, existing in the space between things known and not known: at the still point of being--being in relationship where all is potential, not yet defined--within moments like those just before sunrise and sunset, within the time between inhalation and exhalation. The joy lies potent in the space created by withholding the accustomed and habitual reaction to life: between the stimulus and the response.
So, Anna's 'light bulb' does indeed exist, not merely in a child's imaginnation, but reflected in the simple expression of relationship--in the inter relatedness of her life to all life. Her epiphany suggests that beneath our habit of identity, we belong to, we are supported by, and we are part of something greater.
Keeping the bulb burning brightly requires a willingness to participate moment by moment in the movement that is neither from nor towards the still point of support.
And, above all, "do not call it fixity."

Darma & Shairy – The Encounter 2
Released: August 21, 2016
Art, Brunette, Clips, Fetish, HD, Lesbians, MetArt, PaySites, Teens
Shairy is relaxing in a chair, in a room with large candles burning. We see Darma arrive outside the glass-paneled door, but Shairy's so lost in her own thoughts it takes her a few moments to notice. Both girls are gorgeous brunettes with long hair, wearing skyscraper heels. Darma's little black minidress shows off her legs, while slender Shairy is in just a sheer, black top, through which her breasts are visible, and a sexy black and leopard-print thong. Immediately, the two begin to make out, Shairy sitting on Darma's knee on a chair. Things soon heat up, Shairy caressing Darma's breast while Darma strokes her friend's crotch. Shairy loses her thong, then strips Darma down to her sparkly shoes. Both girls have a slightly clipped but natural-looking bush, and Darma's is particularly full. Darma settles back in the chair as Shairy sinks to her knees and goes down on her, splaying her labia to expose her pink. As Darma humps against her face, Shairy eats her enthusiastically, tongue-fucking her hard, then uses a couple fingers in her pussy as she sucks clit. Darma caresses her girlfriend's hair, moaning loudly as she cums, then the pair share a lingering, pussy-flavored kiss, before relaxing, Shairy's head resting against Darma's belly and crotch.

I'm RHBH. i'll sacrifice distance for control. i can FH but i don't use it to drive unless it's the only option. i have the heavy weights for wind, but usually grab for my lighter ones.
i like to drive with the ascents vs the gazelles. the gazelle is my main fairway/utility.
the orc is just pure driver. the predator is my windy day driver. although i'd consider adding something else..
i like the core/fuse combo. i have the lightweight fuse for more "finesey" shots..
after much trial and error i just decided to stick with one putter and that's the magic. the organic is more tacky, and the soft is chalky. so i just grab the one that feel best for the shot at that moment. i like the EVO HPP to drive with cuz it feel more like driver plastic. it's gummy and feels great!
so that's my bag. critique, suggest, flame me. whatever helps my game

Colorectal Diseases
Might I have a valid reason to get screened?
I have been trying to decide if I need to get a colonoscopy or if I am just being obsessive....I`m 52 and have had a recent onset (several months) of abdominal pain, alternating constipation then diarrhea (quite severe) and less frequent bloody (black) stools combined with 50 lb weight loss (I needed to lose weight, but it`s not intentional). I actually got my first physical exam in years and the doc didn`t seem to think that screening was necessary since I didn`t have a definate family history. Actually, my dad died from metastatic cancer at age 49 and I`m pretty sure that he ha colon cancer also (no medical records from so long ago). Given this uncertianty, I was considering just getting a colonoscopy anyway; especially when the endo center that does them (I was the driver for a neighbor nurse who got one) said that I could just schedule on on my own..My insurance company does not require a referral, and I`m seriously thinking of just getting a colonoscopy. I have tried to read as much as I can about this test and really don`t see a downside. I know that you can recommend specifics, but in general, would I be crazy just to get screened on my own? My neighbor who got one is a nurse advised me to get one, my wife (her gandmother died of colon cancer) thinks I`m a little crazy. Any opinion would be a big help. Thanks.
The current recommendations are that Americans have a screening exam at age 50. You appear to be 2 years overdue. You should consider a colonoscopy to diagnose the cause of your symptoms.

Favorite Gun Cleaning Chem?
Alright everyone, time for another poll...What is your favorite gun cleaning chemical and WHY?
We have heard some crazy answers to this question. Most were focused on how their's smells or looks, but I am interested in performance.
Lets hear it??
I Really like Otis, smells like a coconut tanning oil covered chic at the beach!!
It really cleans well.
I also have been using FP10.
Outers foam is great for the leading and copper.
i like hoppes and breakfree clp works well enough for me.
For general cleaning I like Hoppes #9.
For my SS barrels that don't get a bronze brush I use gunslick foaming bore cleaner and Hoppes Copper solvent.
Hoppes #9 always does the trick for me :)
A few years ago I was at a Force Mod Conference for SWAT, SRT and Special Operation Groups and was introduced to a product called Gunzilla by the inventor Don Kettles. I have to say I dont use anything else to clean my guns as this stuff is fantastic. I will use some Otis Dry lube after cleaning even thou Gunzilla does leave a light lubricant also. It is a little more expensive than an off the shelf cleaner but it is well worth it.
here is the web site - Gunzilla
Shooters Choice bore solvent. Cuts the Copper, Lead and plastic fouling really well.
Hoppes #9 gets another vote on the poll that doesn't exist.
Shooter's Choice bore solvent normally, Montana X-treme occasionally to really clean the copper out.
I use Hoppe's Elite.

Somedays Are Just Too HardI became involved with a friend who is bipolar, and we became lovers in an intense relationship. It has been rocky from the get go due to an age difference....he is 10 yrs younger. It seems once I got my head straight, he has gotten worse as far as his mental illness. He became distant with no intimacy basically for 3 months. When we are good, we are fabulous, but its so emotionally trying. My head says it wont work but my heart says be loyal and stick it out. Now we have had a huge eruption and he has said that he does not want to do this anymore and be alone. We work together and all I do is cry. I am usually a strong and vibrant woman but this is destroying me. I have been begging and texting him to think this decision over.He can be very angry and nasty at times. He is a great person, and I love him. I feel so lost and alone. How do I move on? i am divorced and this is not my character to be weak. I know it wont last if we stay together but I do not know how to move on. I feel I am losing my self respect. Our ages are of a mature level and beyond 30"s, so I feel I should be smarter.
Read my posts..My guy was 15 years younger and also had a problem..He was on anti anxiety meds..I loved him and still do..I miss him so much that at times I can not eat! I feal physical and mental pain through all this..He loved me so much at one stage and then nothing all of a sudden..It is hard to move on..I am only at the beginning stages now..
Hey, I went out with someone younger than me too but he seemed more narcissistic and abusive than bipolar and I do miss him terribly and I used to be a vibrant person too but this has destroyed me. Sometimes life is just more than we can take....
Bi-polar illness can alter over time, and so can responsiveness to medications. It's possible that whatever he was using to manage his problem in the past might not be as effectiive as it used to be.

You mentioned a lack of intimacy that lasted 3 months. Sexual dysfunction/lack of desire is a side effect of many anti-depressant drugs as well as some other medications frequently prescribed for managing mood disorders.

If you are still on speaking terms and he's willing to listen to you it might be helpful for him to speak to his doctor about his issues with depression and anger management.

I'm sorry that you are in such a painful situation and I hope things get better for you soon.
u should but its not that simple or easy .

u still "heart" him ..

being bipolar should clue u in that it wasnt gonna be easy or even gonna work ..

i dont mean to put u down ,but it is what it is .

youv been thru divorce ..and got thru it just fine that u found "love" again

u can pass this and find love again with someone who wants to fully be there with u ..

heart and mind that is ..
