MORAGA, Calif. -- By the end of the season, a 10-5 win over Gonzaga will look like nothing more than just another result on the ledger for the Saint Mary's baseball team.
In the here and now, Sunday's victory serves as a much-needed shot in the arm for a club still very much playing to win.
To reverse recent course, Saint Mary's got offensive against the Bulldogs, collecting 15 hits en route to its biggest run total this month. Every Gaels starter had a hit, and six different players had two. Collin Ferguson drove in three runs thanks to a 3-run home run in the third inning and DonAndre Clark also drove in three.
That jolt of offensive baseball backed up starter Anthony Gonsolin, who worked six innings to pick up his second win of the season. Brad Nease closed the game out with three hitless innings of relief, striking out four to nail down his third save of the season.
"It is (a lift) after the bad streak we were in. But, like I've said before, it's not like we've played bad. We've played good and teams have played better than us," Saint Mary's coach Eric Valenzuela said. "It's good, especially from the offensive end. They're very capable of doing what they did today. (Gonzaga) has great pitching, so hopefully this will let our guys breath a little bit and just play without anything else on their mind. It's great to see individual performances like Clark and Ferguson and Brad Nease. We needed those big three zeroes at the end."
Gonzaga (18-24, 13-8 West Coast Conference) jumped out to the early lead Sunday, scoring two in the second on an RBI triple by Sam Brown and a squeeze bunt by Cabe Reiten. That gave starter Andrew Sopko the advantage and the right-hander used it, escaping trouble in the bottom of the inning to keep the Bulldogs ahead.
But, while Sopko escaped the second unscathed, Saint Mary's (14-29, 6-12) cashed in on its chances in the third. An RBI single by Ian McLoughlin cut the deficit in half, and after Michael Valentin singled to keep the inning going, Ferguson sent a 3-1 offering from Sopko into the stratosphere, drilling a home run just to the right of the 370-foot marker in the right-center power alley. By the time the inning concluded, Saint Mary's led 4-2.
"Just as not getting hits is contagious, hitting is contagious," Ferguson said. "I think everyone in the lineup had a hit today and it was really big for us to put one together as a team rather than just individual performances while the rest of the team doesn't pick up the slack."
That lead didn't stand up for long. Gonzaga scored single runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth to take a 5-4 lead into the bottom of the sixth. That's when Saint Mary's took the lead for good, starting with a single by Ricky Boas and Anthony Villa being hit by a pitch. After a successful double steal and a strikeout, Clark delivered the big blow, doubling to left to score two and give the Gaels the 6-5 lead.
A huge seventh inning put the game out of reach, as Saint Mary's tallied five hits to score four runs in the frame. Boas, Villa, Connor Hornsby and Clark all drove in runs, giving Nease plenty of room to work for the rest of the game. The left-hander closed it out in style, working a perfect ninth inning to preserve the win.
"One thing we've really been proud of through all this is we feel we've given good effort every game." Ferguson said. "The losses aren't due to a lack of us trying. We're not giving in. It just hasn't been going our way for whatever reason each game. It feels really good to finally have a lot of effort pay off and get a big W for us."
Saint Mary's will look to carry the momentum of Sunday's win forward as it prepares to wrap up a five-game homestand on Wednesday against San Jose State. First pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m. The Gaels travel to San Diego next week for three WCC games against the Toreros. That series begins Friday at 6 p.m.

|Is pitch 2 of this perhaps the left hand finish described in Fingertrip?
By The Gray Tradster
May 22, 2010
Not even close!
After rereading maybe they did traverse all the way over to Fingertrip,
There isn't anything on that finish that is remotely close to 5.8 though, so it may be a recently placed bolt.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
London, United Kingdom, 2008/04/29 - Factors such as an ageing population, recent technological trends and the growing societal acceptance of people with disabilities are boosting the demand for mobility aids in Europe.
The rising need for reliable and innovative mobility aids that will improve the lifestyle of patients will drive the development of the market.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (medicaldevices.frost.com), European Mobility Aids Markets, finds that the markets earned revenues of $1.40 billion in 2007 and estimates this to reach $1.82 billion by 2014.
"The expansion of managed care and the creation of the Diagnostic Related Group (DRG) reimbursement system have compelled hospitals to reduce the duration of stay for in-patients," says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Dr. Bejoy Daniel. "This has driven the market for homecare, which has shown to be more cost-effective than traditional care. As patients are being discharged from hospitals sooner, the sale of mobility aids for homecare will increase."
The powered wheelchair market has advanced due to innovation and intensifying competition between key incumbents and emerging market participants. The major challenge for companies will be to create extremely reliable and innovative mobility aids that will tangibly enhance the quality of life of customers.
Traditionally, major multinational companies including Invacare, Sunrise Medical and Meyra have dominated the European mobility aids market. However, this situation has changed gradually. Several companies are now introducing novel products, particularly within the wheelchairs market.
The scope of mobility aids is extremely broad and covers an array of different products. These range from devices such as prostheses, to products that target the facilitation and improvement of the daily life of the disabled. All these products can be either very specific or mass produced.
"Diversification is the key to success, with several large manufacturers already offering a full line of home medical equipment (HME) and services in order to attract large customers," states Dr. Daniel. "HME dealers are asking for products to be bundled for convenience and lower costs. Customers are increasingly indicating their preference for dealing with a single source for HME purchases."
Competitive success will therefore depend on efforts to constantly diversify and extend product portfolios. By selling a series of products in a single purchase order, manufacturers are selling more mobility aids units, even while customers are saving money on volume discounts. Simultaneously, the European market has become more homogenous, enabling several industry participants to refine their distribution channels and boost market penetration.
If you are interested in a virtual brochure, which provides manufacturers, end users, and other industry participants with an overview of the European markets for mobility aids, then send an email to Patrick Cairns, Corporate Communications, at pcairns_pr[.]frost.com, with your full name, company name, title, telephone number, company email address, company website, city, state and country. Upon receipt of the above information, an overview will be sent to you by email.
European Mobility Aids Markets is part of the Medical Devices Growth Partnership Services Programme, which also includes research in the following markets: European Dental Implants Markets and European Medical Lasers Markets. All research included in subscriptions provide detailed market opportunities and industry trends that have been evaluated following extensive interviews with market participants. Interviews with the press are available.
Frost & Sullivan, the Global Growth Consulting Company, partners with clients to accelerate their growth. The company's Growth Partnership Services, Growth Consulting and Career Best Practices empower clients to create a growth focused culture that generates, evaluates and implements effective growth strategies.

Judging American Idol is no easy task. Just ask Mary J. Blige.
"It was so much fun, but it was hard," Blige, 39, who appeared on the show Jan. 13, told UsMagazine.com at BET Honors in Washington, D.C. on Saturday.

"It was really hard, you know, because you didn't want to be bursting out into laughter," added Blige, who fought laughs a few times. "And you have to be honest. I had to be honest with people."
As for wannabes who didn't approve of her commentary, Blige said, "Someone got upset, but that's their problem, not mine." (Hopeful Lamar Royal threw a temper tantrum and called her a b*tch.)

Blige admitted she "doesn't know" what the show will be like once Simon Cowell leaves after this season.
"It's hard to predict... I hope they get someone who tells the truth," Blige told Us. "Simon told the truth."

BRZESC, Poland (May. 20)
The president of the Government commission investigating last week's disorders here declared today that the riots created "such destruction as we never imagined possible."
The comment was made to a Jewish leader whose testimony was being taken. Asked about the attitude of the police during the disturbances, Jewish leaders declared that the police were, at best, only passive.
More than 100 persons have been arrested in this city in connection with the riots.
The charge that the police, acting on instructions from the Governor of Brzese, encouraged and supervised 1,600 anti-Jewish rioters last week was made to a Jewish Telegraphic Agency correspondent by many Jews whom he interviewed here today.
All confirmed the fact that demolition of hundreds of Jewish stores and homes, and smashing of thousands of windows was carried on under the eyes of the police.
The police, they declared, could have suppressed last Thursday's riots at the outset, but did not intervene until the night, when the disorders had been in progress several hours. It was pointed out that the riots had begun after a policeman was fatally wounded by a Jewish butcher resisting arrest when his illegal slaughterhouse was raided.
Jewish members of the municipal council, about to lodge an official protest against what they called police inefficiency, desisted when they were informed by the mayor on behalf of the Governor that the latter would not be responsible for further disorders if the protest was published.
"We do not have enough policemen to guard every house," the mayor told them.
Letters and telegrams about the riots have been censored, and some not transmitted altogether. The senders were told officially they had better not send messages other than "All is well" and "Everything is all right."
Tension continued to prevail in the town as the Jewish residents began the job of clearing away the havoc wrought by the rioters. Posters were up in Polish stores declaring: "This is a Christian shop!"
Jewish businessmen opened their wrecked shops today and attempted to restore order, Dozens of glaziers were working all over the city to replace windows while a fire brigade was busy clearing up the littered streets.

One of the points that will be high on the agenda at this year's Online Marketing Show will be that the web has finally graduated from our PC monitors and now exists firmly in the air around us, waiting to be accessed at any given moment. Internet usage on mobile devices is now growing at the rate that was predicted some three or four years ago, making this year definitely, officially, the year of mobile… hooray!
It's not all about mobile. Any number of devices during the next decade and beyond will be able to access the wonders of the Internet, and all of them will need to be able to search and quickly retrieve the information or websites that people are looking for. This is where search engines need to think about how their interfaces and results will work on any number of new devices.
Even on the biggest, prettiest smartphones, Google's search results don't fit on the screen, removing the majority of paid search listings that make up so much of Google's revenue. If everyone were to use mobiles only to search for info, Google might even go bankrupt!
Google has a separate index for mobile devices, so it's not as though they haven't thought about this. But as the web becomes ever more accessible, two questions remain:
- How will search engines really help users find what they're looking for, especially on the smaller devices?
- How will they continue to know what are the most important results for natural search?
The second question is particularly important for SEO. So much of what we do boils down to ensuring that the myriad of connections on the internet make it clear that our sites, or our clients' sites, are viewed by the search engines as important. Not only important, but important for specific themes and keywords, and we manage this using techniques on and off the website itself.
So how does that change when people are using the Internet in different ways via different devices and potentially being given different results depending on what device they use? How will search engines know what is important, or whether something is more important for a mobile user than a tablet or laptop user?
There are still a lot of "ifs" involved here. Ultimately, the search engines might feel that what exists now is good enough to tell them which are the most important sites.
In SEO we've become accustomed in more recent times to viewing off-site optimization techniques as having the biggest impact on rankings. But perhaps there is an argument that for each device you will need a site specifically optimized for each different version of Google. Google for mobile, Google for smartphone, Google for tablets — each version might prefer different types of web property to display higher in the listings.
Ultimately, there isn't a definitive answer right now. However, in the near future it's likely that SEO will not only encompass social media (that's if you believe it doesn't already), but SEO teams may well need to ensure their skill-sets include a large degree of developer knowledge specifically for ensuring websites are compatible with multiple devices.

Botox for Philtrum Looks Terrible. How to Get Rid of it?
Doctor Answers 9
Getting rid of Botox effects
Unhappy with Botox in the nasal philtrum
some doctors inject Botox off-label to decrease the effect of the tip of the nose lowering during smiling. Usually only 1 or 2 units are needed, but if the surrounding tissue is affected than the upper lip might drop. if it is the shape of the nose, then possibly, filler injected conservatively may help.

The information provided should not be relied upon as a substitute for consultations with a qualified health professional who may be familiar with your individual medical needs.

Botox for philthrum
It is very difficult to answer your question without seeing your pictures but typically the number of units used around your mouth is small, and should wear off in a reasonable amount of time. Nothing will get rid of the Botox, it has to wear out.
You might also like...
Botox for the philtrum
Unfortunately, there is no way to reverse the effect of your Botox treatment. Since a very low dosage is used, it will probably only last a few months. You should return to the physician who did the injections to see if you require more Botox on one side to even out the result.
Botox for philtrum
It is unfortunately that you had a poor response with Botox for your philtrum...thankfully, because of the low number of units used in this area, the effect will be temporary, likely around 2 months or so. Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.
Good News: Botox Dose/Duration Correlation
The good news is that not only is the effect of Botox temporary, but there is a direct correlation between the amount of Botox (number of units) injected and the amount of time the effects will last. Because the dose of Botox used around the mouth is typically quite low, it should wear off more quickly than typical Botox dosages used in the upper face.
Tina B. West, M.D.
Dermatologist and Dermatologic Surgeon
Chevy Chase, MD
Botox around mouth isn't advisable most of the time
I'm sorry about your experience but I very rarely recommend people get Botox around the mouth area, unless they are seeing very experienced physicians who have been seeing that patient for a long time and understand that person's facial structure. Bad Botox around the mouth can make it look like you've had a stroke with minimal mouth functions, speaking problems, eating problems, drooling, etc. It's very unfortunate. I say time and again that we are lucky Botox isn't more permanent, and this is why. Time will solve your problem, but nothing can make it go away any quicker.
Bad Location For Botox And Fillers.
Generally, do not get botox around the mouth. I personally do not use BOTOX at all around the mouth. I think this is an area that should not be weakened. It will make you look like you have stroked. Fillers are the best option. What to do about your currently situation? Tincture of time. It will get better.
Botox for Philtrum
There is no way to get rid of the Botox in your philtrum. The good and the bad about Botox is that is goes away within 3-6 months. You will be back to normal when your Botox wears off.

Join us for the Tennessee celebration of International Human Rights Day!
International Human Rights Day occurs every year to commemorate the ratification of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations on Dec 10, 1948. In Tennessee, Human Rights Day has become a day to reflect and look at lessons learned and battles won, while various human rights groups join forces and commit to creating an even better future.
Tennessee will celebrate Human Rights Day on December 6, 2016 in Nashville. The day begins at 5:00pm, with a reception and exhibits by human rights organizations. Then at 6:00pm, the presentations and awards will begin. Speakers will discuss various human rights topics related to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Awards will be presented for lifetime achievement and outstanding service in the field of human rights, along with recognition of Rising Advocates.
This year, Rising Advocate Awards will be given to three individuals who have made great strides for human rights and show even greater promise for the future. They are Anna Carella, who has worked both locally and in other parts of the world to help others in need and most recently with Advocates for Women's and Kids' Equality (AWAKE); Justin Jones, a Fisk University senior who has already proven himself as a strong advocate for social justice and peace by organizing several events, marches and protests with the purpose to help others; and Mohamed Shukri, who works with the Tennessee Immigrants and Refugee Rights Coalition, American Center for Outreach and was on the first Mayor's New Americans Advisory Council.
The award winners in the category of Outstanding Service are Juan Canedo for his work on issues that affect the wellbeing of the Hispanic community and the community at large, with particular emphasis on empowering Hispanic immigrants; and Derri Smith, who is the Founder and Executive Director of End Slavery Tennessee.
The Lifetime Achievement award this year is going to Dr. Charles Kimbrough, a longtime civil rights activist who established and organized NAACP chapters in four different cities across the South and served as President of the Nashville Branch, where he saw a surge in chapter membership, addressing civil rights issues within the local African American community.
The planning committee is accepting nominations for awards and registrations for information tables to appear at the event, and it has issued a call to student artists for works depicting the articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Educators and youth group leaders should consider having their high-school aged students study the Declaration and submit works of art!

EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 2Win
Ok so we have seen the heatsink, we have seen the silkscreened PCBs and have even seen a demo mockup a few years ago (from another company). So, what is this thing we have seen you ask?
Dual nVidia GPUs on a single card!.
Now before you can say GTX 590 lets pull it back and qualify this statement a bit. "Dual affordable GPUs on a single card". Yes its true, for the price of a single GTX 580 you can have the power of dual GTX 560 Ti's together on a special built PCB.
Friday, November 4th. 2011 - Introducing the EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 2Win! This card harnesses the power of two EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti GPU's for blistering fast DirectX 11 performance, including tessellation performance that destroys the competition. Experience a whole new level of interactive gaming and combine up to three displays off a single card for the ultimate in 3D entertainment, or disable Surround and combine up to four displays for maximum productivity. With these features and more, the EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 2Win gives you double the win!
Key Features:
- Dual GTX 560 Ti GPU's
- Over 30% Faster than GTX 580
- 850MHz Core Clock
- 3D Surround on a Single Card
As you can imagine, you get all of the benefits afforded to you by the GTX 590 such as 3D Vision Surround and faster performance due to onboard SLI. However, the one thing not mentioned is for the first time ever you will be able to run Quad SLI from a GTX 560 Ti.
Of course you can run SLI with a GTX 560 but since the cards only came with a single SLI bridge you were limited to only a two way SLI configurations and no way to add a third card except for running PhysX calculations.

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Hello. My name is XXXXX XXXXX I will be glad to help you.
Are you online with me?
Welcome to JustAnswer.com
Does you daughter live in the same household with her father?
Can you please tell me if the father wants to pursue criminal charges? What is the father's position?
Were there any witnesses to this altercation?
Thank you for your follow up.
Did your daughter consult and retain local criminal defense attorney?
Was your daughter arraigned and did she plead not guilty?
Was there bail/bond that your daughter had to pay to get release from jail?
Please stay in chat with me, so we can avoid delays
No lawyer yet. She has not been arraigned yet. Property bond.
What was the bond amount?
What injuries did the father sustain?
Thank you for all the follow up.
Okay. Here is what I would suggest that you do.
I would suggest that you contact an experienced and established local criminal law attorney and this attorney can represent your daughter in this criminal case and will be able to approach the DA/prosecutor and to let prosecutor know that the father does not want to pursue criminal charges or would not want to testify against the daughter and it was simply an argument that might have gone out of control, but neither daughter or the father had any intention to harm each other.
In most cases, if the victim doesn't want to pursue charges and also there is no serious bodily injury that the victim sustained, the prosecutor would be willing to drop charges.
Does that make sense?
Also, given the fact that your daughter i only 19 and never had been in any criminal trouble before and is a college student, would favorably play into the case.
yes, but the mark was a black eye. she punched him. he never pursued charges. when the officer came, he told the officer that.
Did the father tell the officer that the daughter punched him in the eye and that is how he got the black eye?
also, the officer said that the father had no control over the dropping charges, although he did not pursue. The officer said the state immediately took over the situation when they picked her up.
no, he asked her and she admitted on site.
Was your daughter under arrest when she admitted punching the father?
Also, the officer is correct that it is up to the state whether to pursue criminal charges, however the prosecutor will consider victim's input as well, and other mitigating factors
no, she admitted it when he asked, then he told her to get up and then he put the handcuffs on her and lead her out to the car.
she was in her bedroom and the officer went there and asked her. She said yes she hit him. Then he told her to get up and put the cuffs on her and lead her out. Her father was in the living room.
While an admission will be a factor in the case, an experienced criminal attorney can still argue that this was a misunderstanding.
I seriously hope it works out like that. Anything else I need to know? He did not read her the Miranda rights when he cuffed her. Does that mean anything?
No. Miranda rights only had to be read if the police was to question your daughter, not if they just arrested her.
I would suggest for your daughter to also start gathering letter regarding her good character from influential members of the community, such as clergy, college professors, etc...
So her attorney can also demonstrate to the prosecutor that she is of good moral character and an upstanding citizen.
Yes, very much. I'm sorry, all of this is new to me. Thanks for all your help.
Please try not to worry, but instead help and see that your daughter retains an experienced local criminal law attorney who practiced regularly before the court where her case is pending and who has at least 10 years of experience.
Do you have such attorney in mind?
Yes, George McCranie. He is very good I hear. He is known nation wide.
Great. I am sure your daughter's case will be in good hands with this attorney.
I wish you and your daughter all the best and please click on the "excellent service" rating, so I can receive credit for my answer. Bonus and positive feedback is always appreciated, but is not required.
Thank you for all your help. You have been great.
You have been excellent and I will click on that.
Thank you and GOD bless you and your daughter!

|Toproping, absolutely. Use you own quickdraws. But lowering off? These anchors are designed for precisely that. If they're worn, they need replacing. If they wear super quickly due to traffic, consider more approriate anchors. Lee (from safercliffs.org)

Well said, Lee.
I think the original intent was that if the anchor looks like the one in the picture, consider using a bail biner to rap off. That is pretty scary worn, and I would hesitate even rapping off that.

|Lee, lowering off vs. rap, lower off the anchors, all the dirt in your rope cuts like saw. Save the anchor and wear and tear on your rope and the anchors will last much longer, rap off. Some people are TOO lazy.

Gotta go with Lee here. The anchors shown here are specifically designed to be lowered off of - not rappeled from. Why else do you think there is a gate on the top? As Lee notes, if they wear super quickly due to traffic, consider other anchors (i.e. quicklinks/chain).
Also, considering Lee signed his comment "from safercliffs.org" - a little research shows that "Safer Cliffs Australia is a non-profit voluntary organization of climbers who maintain the safety of rock climbing areas in Australia". I would say he is far from being part of the problem....
Edited to add:
Regarding these anchors though - I do think a design flaw on Fixe's part was to design these anchors to be lowered off - but not design them to be more easily replaced. The hooks shown here though are an improvement over a style (also Fixe) that I saw in Owens River where the hook was connected to a welded ring requiring the whole setup to need to be replaced. See here mountainproject.com/v/californ...

That is right, they were designed for that. The anchor will LAST LONGER! if you rap off them. 1st time I climbed at Red Rocks NV, many of top anchors where just like the photo it was sickening.
Just think about it, a climber rapping off vs lowering 100 to 200+ lb climber lowering through the the anchors over and over, vs. pulling a rope through, with all the dirt and gravel.
And I do agree that a link, chain or ss ring, are better. I still rap off to save wear and tear on anchor, someone spent a lot of time and $$$ on anchors.

|I think it's totally fine to toprope or lower from these things - as long as YOU are the one that will replace the anchors when they are worn - long before they get to this point. If not, just rappel - it's actually really easy and safe, there isn't a good reason not to. We can't forget that people die doing this sport.

|Regardless, you should strive to rap whenever possible. It makes the anchors last a LOT longer, and your belayer can do other things.

|Yes, rap off anchors. The problem with lowering and toproping off anchors should be obvious from the picture irregardless of what you think they were designed for. There is no one who carries the responsibility to replace these anchors even when they "should be replaced". They only get replaced out of the goodness of someone's heart. So, have a heart and don't abuse the anchors, and they will last longer.

|Lots of noobish opinions here or ones influenced by outdated considerations. Yes, rapping will save some wear, but these kinds of anchors are designed to be lowered off, and the installers intend you to do so. It is simpler, faster, and, assuming you don't have a moron for a belayer, safer. The way to deal with your concerns about wearing them out is to contribute to anchor replacement, either replacing them yourself if you have the knowledge or contribute some dollars to those who do. Your local climber's association can usually get the gear at a better price than an individual, so even if you are going to do the work, having the money go through the group can often be more efficient.

Lindsay Lohan may get role playing herself on 'Glee'
It's some kind of local ordinance that The Juice* write about Lindsay Lohan every time shedoes something marginally important, so hey, look! She's this close to getting a job on Glee, playing herself! That's really stretching the boundaries of your craft, that.
TVLine.com's Michael Ausiello says Lohan is working with Fox to score a role as a judge at the nationals for the namesake club's competition. The site notes that would put her in the esteemed company of past TV judges Josh Groban and Olivia Newton-John, who both have thriving careers right now.
LiLo will have to fit this in somewhere during her potential shooting schedule playing Elizabeth Taylor. You know, Lindsay, it would be nice to write an item that confirms you have a job for once, instead of just talking about what might be happening.

MarketBeat calculates consensus ratings using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings. Each stock's consensus rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.Ratings Breakdown: 1 Hold Rating, 3 Buy

audio player for kindle (kinamp?)

audio player for kindle (kinamp?)
this thread has been deprecated
new version
jailbreak and either launchpad or usbnet
pathname note:
/mnt/us is the prefix for the userspace (mass storage) filesystem root.
if you are using the kindle in mass storage mode, the directory:
/mnt/us/system would be the folder 'system' at the root of the drive.
0) extract either the tarball or zip into /mnt/us/system
1) assign a shortcut to /mnt/us/system/kinamp in launchpad
the simplest way to run the program is:
kinamp file file1 file2 file3 ....
keep in mind that the executable will want the /mnt/us/ prefix for files in the userspace file system.
when you run the executable, it will kill any running instance you have previously run.
alt-DEL (previous file)
alt-L (play/pause)
alt-K (fast forward)
alt-J (next file)
alt-H (quit)
you will see a progress bar along the bottom of the screen indicating the current percentage from the start of the file.
when the file changes, the file name will be displayed in the bottom left corner of the screen for ~5 seconds, then disappear.
the executable transparently passes its parameters to mplayer.
some useful options:
-loop 0: loop the playlist forever
-playlist <filename>: load <filename> as a playlist
-volume 400: amplify the file volume 4x (useful for quiet audio)
kinamp -loop 0 -volume 400 -playlist /mnt/us/music/myplaylist
for more options see:
the mplayer manual
you may want to renice the process (give it higher priority):
nice -n -3 kinamp -loop 0 -volume 400 -playlist /mnt/us/music/myplaylist
if you aren't a linux user, you will want to know that negative priorities are HIGHER.
i wouldn't recommend nice values less than -5 (-6 would be too high priority) because system functions operate at this niceness.
your kindle will NOT standby to memory when kinamp is running. even if you pause the player and audio is not playing (alt-L), standby will still be prevented. you must quit the application (alt-H) for the device to standby as normal.
this means that the system will run through its battery SIGNIFICANTLY faster if you do not quit kinamp. the wireless transmitters will stay on, the processor will stay on, and all other hardware components will remain active. even if the screensaver is active and the keyboard is disabled.
this is BY DESIGN so you can play music while the system is in screensaver mode.
landscape mode:
kinamp will play music in landscape modes but status will not be displayed. status will work normally in both portrait and invert portrait modes.
a note on seek:
mplayer has bugs. consequently, seek does not work.
as a substitute we have fast forward, which causes your audio files to play at roughly 9x their intended rate. the effect is quite comic, really, and my music sounds like nothing so much as a cracked-out cartoon chipmunk (bug? or...FEATURE!)
a note on the progress bar:
mplayer's understanding of progress is somewhat...antiquated. it doesn't perform well with vbr audio, so you will see the progress bar misbehave mightily if you play vbr audio.
as a remedy i suggest re-encoding your audio as cbr if you want to track progress accurately. while you're doing so, you also might want to normalize the volume.
supported models:
i only own a kindle 3 3g graphite. i haven't tested it on the white kindle 3, so the color might break it. on the DX, i think the result would be especially atrocious. i do not own these models; when i bought my 3g i survived largely on vapors and subtext for a month (during which period i seriously considered changing my name to Cybil). if you would like support for the DX, feel free to mail me one.
contact info:
if you feel that your life has been irreversibly changed by my software, for better or worse, please let me know. i accept surface mail at:
po box 140072
gainesville, fl 32614
if you would like to buy me lunch, (and, as most artists do, i consider 'starving' to be an almost implied epithet) send something remunerative.
i believe $10 is the traditional amount.
it's one the great wonders of the world;
to wonder if
it really whips the llama's cr...ass.
a note on the source:
i am not a software engineer. my coding style is cryptic (not cyrillic like that russian notepad) and unschooled. to reference the wizard of oz, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. he's old, uncouth, a hermit, and really quite uninteresting.
the user assumes all risk for the consequences, both intended and unintended, of running this software. should your kindle spontaneously transmogrify into a icbm and decimate the human population of the planet, your only solace will be that we most likely had it coming anyway.
my imaginary lawyer assures me that these terms are binding.
you may know him; he was artfully depicted by benicio del toro in fear and loathing in las vegas.

USAF ACADEMY, Colo. - The Air Force baseball team dropped both games of a doubleheader to Utah in Mountain West Conference baseball action Saturday at Falcon Field. The Utes took game one 6-3 and game two 17-3. The losses drop the Falcons to 16-31, 2-18 and improved the Utes to 20-24, 8-12.
In game one, the Falcons failed to hold a 3-2 lead as Utah rallied to win with a four run sixth inning. Game one, which was a seven-inning game with Utah as the home team, was a makeup of the March 30th snowout at Salt Lake.
Six consecutive batters reached base for the Utes in the sixth, as they went ahead 6-3. A two-run double by Austin Jones highlighted the inning.
The loss overshadowed another strong pitching performance by Falcon starting pitcher Jake Petro. Petro (1-6) held the Utes in check for the first five innings, but again struggled to get out of the sixth inning. He had allowed just two runs through the first five, until getting charged for two more in the sixth. Jason Griggs, Brad Pingel and Michael Ruvolo also pitched for the Falcons.
Ute starter Brian Budrow (5-5) picked up the win, allowing three runs off nine hits in six innings. Robert Chimpky picked up his second save in as many games.
The Utes had 12 hits in the game, with Jesse Shriner and Jones both getting two hits and two RBIs. Air Force had nine hits in the game. Nathan Carter led the way by going 3-for-4 with two runs. Addison Gentry and Daniel Walker also had two hits for the Falcons.
In game two, Utah racked up 23 hits and rolled to a 17-3 win. The Utes had several big innings, scoring three in the first, four in the sixth and seven in the ninth. Cody Guymon, Dustin Hennis and Coope B lanc had four hits each for the Utes.
Air Force had eight hits in the game, with K.J. Randhawa leading the way by going 3-for-4. Carter also led off the first for Air Force with a homer to right and Chay Derbigny stole his 29th base of the season.
Falcon starter David Miller (2-6) pitched a career-high 5.2 innings and tied a career best with five strikeouts. Brad Pingel and Gregg Laswell also pitched in relief.
Utah reliever Bryn Card (2-1) picked up the win, holding the Falcons scoreless over the final 4.2 innings. Starter Andrew Wilding went 4.1 innings, allowing three runs on five hits.
The Falcons and Utes wrap up the series tomorrow, Mother's Day May 11, with a noon start.

Season Opener Scheduled For Feb. 15 Against Virginia
GREENVILLE, NC Jan. 26, 2013 – Under the direction of eighth-year head coach Billy Godwin, the East Carolina baseball team held its first outdoor practice of the 2013 season Saturday afternoon at Lewis Field inside Clark-LeClair Stadium.
After spending the first scheduled practice of the season (Friday, Jan. 25) in the batting cages due to inclement weather in the area, Godwin and his coaching staff guided the Pirates through a three-hour intra-squad scrimmage. On the mound, sophomore Jeff Hoffman and redshirt freshman David Lucroy each toed the rubber to start the afternoon working a pair of innings.
True freshman Justin Taylor and sophomore Dylan Dickens each tossed an inning, while junior college transfer Ryan Williams went 3.2 innings. Others to get into the throwing action on the day were sophomore Tyler Bolton (3.0 IP), senior Joseph Hughes (3.0 IP) and junior Drew Reynolds (2.0 IP).
Offensively the Pirates put up nine total runs with a trio of players lacing RBI doubles in junior Zach Houchins, freshman Luke Lowery and junior Chase McDonald. Junior's Jonathan Holt, Jack Reinheimer and Reynolds all had RBI singles, while freshman Travis Watkins (sac bunt) and sophomore Nick Thompson (groundout) added to the RBI total. Senior Chris Gosik crossed home on a Lucroy wild pitch early in the contest.
The Pirates will begin the 2013 regular season on Friday, Feb. 15 when they play host to nationally-ranked Virginia in the opener of a three-game series at 3 p.m. Godwin welcomes back 21 letterwinners, including 10 pitchers and five positional starters. The Purple and Gold has 13 newcomers (10 freshman and three juniors) on its roster as well.

Happy Bachelorette finale day! Wait, what? I can't believe I just said that. But seriously. It's both a happy and a sad day because after tonight, what the heck will I have to look forward to on Mondays? Especially now that the Bachelor Pad has been canceled. Canceled! Such fools they are over at ABC. But um, I should probably talk about something else since a) most of you smart people probably stopped watching the Bachelor franchise at least 7 years ago, if you ever watched at all and b) I probably won't publish this post until tonight's episode is pretty much over. Who won?!?! Anyone?? I have no idea and it's killing me.
But let's talk about happy stuff like sprinkles and confetti instead. I mean, who doesn't like this stuff? Who wouldn't feel a little brighter on a Monday after some sprinkles and confetti? Or, you know, more specifically, Funfetti. I hesitated with even calling these ice cream sandwiches Funfetti because the word is so "on trend" right now (I also hate when people say "on trend"… even though I just did) and because really, what is Funfetti besides vanilla and some sprinkles? But I'm using the word anyway because "sprinkles" and "confetti" just don't have the same ring.
Also, this is the first time I've made square ice cream sandwiches and it was a game time decision and I love it!
Funfetti Ice Cream Sandwiches (makes 9 very large sandwiches):
Print this recipe!
Ice Cream:
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 C sugar
- 2 C heavy cream
- 1 C milk
- 1 T vanilla extract
- 3/4 C rainbow sprinkles
- 3/4 C sugar
- 1/2 C butter (1 stick), softened
- 1 egg
- 1 T vanilla extract
- 1-2/3 C flour
- 3/4 t cream of tartar
- 1/4 t salt
- 1/2 C rainbow sprinkles
And more yes.
You need to start with the ice cream because that takes the longest and obviously you want to cut down waiting time on these as much as humanely possible.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs until they're light and fluffy, about a minute. Then slowly whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, until it's well-blended. Then keep whisking for another minute.
Whisk in the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla.
I told you ice cream is the easiest thing in the world to make. Especially if you don't make a custard and use raw eggs instead. All it takes is some waiting! And wait you will. I would pop this bowl in the fridge for a good 2 hours to as long as overnight.
But while you're waiting, you can whip up those cookies. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
And start by creaming the butter and sugar together in a stand mixer (or in a bowl with a hand mixer) until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla and mix to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt.
Pour the flour mixture into the wet mixture and mix until just combined, taking care not to overmix. Gently stir in the rainbow sprinkles.
Here's where I got a bit crazy. I thought I was going to make cookies and press them together into ice cream sandwiches. But then I decided I wanted square ones because duh, ice cream sandwiches are supposed to be square (unless they're Skinny Cow, which are some of my favorite ice cream sandwiches basically ever!). But I didn't have a square cookie cutter. Then I had the brilliant idea that I'm sure a million people had before me. Bake 2 giant cookies in a pan, put ice cream in between, press together, and slice. The only problem is that I only had one 8×8 baking pan so I had to bake one at a time. Not a big deal.
Basically, I sprayed an 8×8 baking pan with cooking spray.
Pressed half of the cookie batter into the bottom of the pan.
Baked at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, until edges are just browning. I let the cookie cool in the pan for a couple minutes.
Then I popped the cookie out onto a baking rack to let completely cool.
Then I pressed the rest of the cookie dough into the bottom of the pan and baked the second giant cookie. This time, when the cookie is done, you can leave it to cool fully in the pan.
While all of this cookie business was going on, I finished the ice cream.
Pretty much, I poured it into my ice cream maker and let it work its magic. You should do the same, following the instructions on whatever ice cream maker you have (I have the KitchenAid attachment and couldn't love it more).
When the ice cream was just about done, I poured in the sprinkles.
And then I put it in a separate container and let it freeze for another hour. This probably isn't totally necessary, but I wasn't done baking my cookies anyway at this point.
Once cookies are completely cooled and the ice cream is ready, you'll want to put the ice cream on top of the cookie in the pan. I didn't use all the ice cream and probably more like 3/4 of it. Use your judgement; you obviously don't want the ice cream to overflow out the pan.
Then press the second cookie on top.
And yup, cover in plastic wrap and pop back in the freezer for another 4+ hours. You want these to be nice and cold before you slice.
But then… Then you are ready to slice and dig in! Take your baking pan out of the oven and with a super sharp knife (careful!), slice cookie sandwich into 9 pieces.
ZOMG. I probably put too much ice cream in mine as these ice cream sandwiches were BEASTS. But I'm not going to pretend like it wasn't the best thing ever. And that I wouldn't do it all over again. Happy mistakes are the happiest.
I'm also being totally honest when I say these are one of the best treats I've made in a long time. I almost could have eaten the entire platter of them all at once. But 9 ice cream sandwiches is kind of a lot. KIND OF.
I still don't quite get what Funfetti is besides vanilla and sprinkles, but I'm not sure there actually is a whole lot more to it. Because these tasted quite like the famous cake flavor and I didn't even have to open a box to make them!
If you think these ice cream sandwiches seem like a lot of work, I hope I can assure you that both the ice cream and the cookie are tremendously easy! Of course, you could always buy the ice cream… they even make "Funfetti" ice creams now… But if you do get yourself an ice cream maker, I promise you'll get obsessed! I've made ice cream twice in the last week. My freezer hates me and I contemplated throwing away my healthy frozen fish, veggie burgers, and edamame so I can fit more ice cream.
Some day, I'll have a freezer in my house devoted only to ice cream. I feel like that's not too much to ask and that I deserve it. Just keep working for the dream.
In the meantime, as long as my freezer can manage to stay shut, I'll stuff it with as much ice cream and frozen novelties as possible. Hooray!
Have you made your own ice cream sandwiches?

US Army Buying Russian Ammo and Arms
Because our own Army can't get AR-15's and ammo from our own manufacturers.
Perhaps this is the reason why:
I would take it with a grain of salt.
There was also a recent rumor of the government hiring russian security forces, but it was false.
I also have heard people say that there are 20,000 russian troops and vehicles on the MS coast, but that's false. I know, cause I live there X3
What it was, during the Cold War, a local scrap yard bought some old soviet vehicles for scrap. Many peeps thought the ruskies were invadin, and even Timothy mcveigh came to investigate, when he was on his paranoid streak. They were eventually sold for scrap.
We don't live in the Cold War, peeps. Russia isn't after us, we ain't after them.
Acturally he hates capitolism. and freedom. ;)
We have been buying Russian arms and ammo for 50-60 years. We arm "frindlies" with them to keep our involvement quiet. We've smuggled shiploads of them into South America, Africa and other hot spots..
And the Russians and Chinese buy American arms and ammo on the same black markets for the same reason. It's just the way the game is played.
And BTW, anything that comes from Alex Jones/infowars.com is usually total and utter bullsh!t. He's a charlatan that makes a pile of money playing to the fears of the conspiracy theorists.
Well DUH!!!! We arm people in third world arm pits. We supply them with ammo for the guns they have available and they are familiar with. Nothing new here. The only thing new is the fact that we can now find the information because such transactions are posted on the internet.
And yes, Alex Jones IS an idiot.
Anyone who can't afford a Colt AR-15 gets an AK-47 from whichever manufacturer that can and will supply them.
How is this news?
No this is all true. Obama and Holder found out the military was using assault weapons with high cap magazines. Obama is banning any rifle that holds more than 10 rounds.
The Russians and Chinese told Obama that he could arm the U.S. Military with their rifles. Obama is buying up all the Mosin-Nagants.:D

A TongueTastic Christmas MessagePete Greig - 19 Dec 2011
A guilty confession: sometimes at this time of year I secretly wonder whether the whole baby Jesus thing really is the most exciting aspect of this marvellous, shining shindig we call Christmas. The 'offspring of a virgin's womb' thing is essential, obviously. But so too are the presents and cakes and lights and Bing Crosby Dreamin' of a White Christmas and amusing elf videos on FaceBook and red Starbucks cups and even those cinnamon-scented Yankee candles. Barely Christmas without one of them.
There's no 'Christmas' without 'Christ'. But you'll have to admit (if you jumble the letters) that there's also no Christmas without 'mirth' and 'chat', 'charm' and 'ham' and 'mist'. How are we to find our focus this Advent?
The Holy Grail of candy
Last week I was driving home late from a speaking gig and I'd stopped at a service station for an emergency caffeine-shot when suddenly I spotted a packet of my son's favourite sweets: Starburst TongueTastics (the sweet chewz with a sour ooze). TongueTastics are the Holy Grail of candy in our family. Not easy to find. Supermarkets can be stacked to the roof with mars bars and Wrigleys chewing gum and brightly coloured packets of M&M's but only the chosen few, the holy elect, are graced with Tonguetastics. And so I drove the rest of the way home smiling, anticipating Danny's reaction when I produced the packet the next morning.
I scooped him out of bed first thing still half-asleep and carried him through to our room, and as I did so I whispered the magic words I'd been waiting all night to say: 'Danny, I've got a surprise for you!' It was as if he'd been electrocuted. His eyes opened wide. So did his mouth. He went rigid with excitement and without any hesitation whatsoever he screamed, 'IS IT AN IPAD, DAD?'
'No, it's not an iPad.'
His eyes grew wider still. 'AN X-BOX 3?'
'No. Not an X-box either.' The sweets hung there limply, deflated. Danny took them and said they were just what he'd always wanted.
Is Immanuel, the desire of nations, this great eternal gift of God, really the most exciting thing about Christmas? Why precisely did those angels get so excited?
Infinity dwindled to Infancy
Well of course the answer is no. That baby in a distant manger isn't exciting the way a Christmas stocking can be. Immanuel is not the name of a Disney ride. And yet when the alchemy of Christmas fades, the balloons hang limp and the tree has dropped its last needle, still the light of Immanuel will shine.
A friend of mine is undergoing an MRI scan today which will determine her life expectancy. She likes tinsel but what she needs is hope. She is clinging to the real nativity: this eye-witness account, this living proof of a giving God actively reaching out, longing to help her and even to be held by his creatures. She is celebrating the deeper magic of the event that the poet Gerard Manley-Hopkins called 'God's infinity dwindled to infancy'.
The rockstar Bono describes the night that this message truly broke into his heart. He'd just returned from a long tour, it was Christmas Eve and he was exhausted, but he went along to a carol service at St Patrick's cathedral in Dublin, where they seated him behind a large pillar which blocked his view.
I started trying to keep myself awake by studying the order of service and as I did so the message of the Christmas story really dawned on me for the first time. The simple rationality of the idea that if there is a Force of Love and Logic in the universe, that it would seek to explain itself to us. And the beauty of the idea that Unknowable Love, Unknowable power would describe itself to us as a child born in straw poverty. It's not that it hadn't struck me before, but tears came rolling down my face, and I saw the utter genius of picking a particular point in time and deciding to turn history on that moment. To me it makes perfect sense… Essence has to manifest itself. Love has to become an action or something concrete. There must be an incarnation. Love must be made flesh
Whether you're returning home like Bono this Christmas, enduring an MRI scan like my friend, or merely trying to take a break from the mania of shopping, it is the simple, intentional act of stopping that will unlock the deepest magic of the season. By writing one less card, attending one less party or watching one less television programme you can create a little daily space for prayer and worship.
Many 24-7 Prayer Rooms are running right now, like decompression chambers for pressurised people, gasping for air. Thousands of you are also carefully downloading our simple, four-minute Advent videos each day, pausing to anticipate a gift even greater than iPads, rarer than TongueTastics: Immanuel which means 'God with us'.

The Ocean Kayak Toggle Handle is a replacement kayak handle that attaches quickly and easily to a pad eye or loop at the bow or stern of your kayak. Fits Ocean Kayak, Wilderness Systems, Perception and many other brands. No tools required.
|Item #:
|Part Number
Great product. Used to replace missing handles on my OT Otter. Easy to install and very high quality. These are the only handles I buy when I need new handles.
The handles were what I needed BUT..... they did not snap together and stay together very well and we already lost the top 1/2 of the back handle. I will probably order another set but not until we have the money.(We're on a fixed income.) Thanks for having them at such a good price, anyway.
Just a clarification, this is for one handle, not two as some other review's imply. Good price for a pair, not so much for a single
Excellent product! Performs well what is was made for.
