The YakAttack BlackPak - White crate system is poised to set a new standard in rod, tackle, and gear management on kayaks and standup paddleboards. It ships flat and assembles quickly using common hand tools. The interlocking joint design creates incredible strength, promising many years of trouble-free service. The clean, tactical appearance demands attention and the rapidly developing line of YakAttack BlackPak accessories means there's always another problem solving innovation just around the corner. The YakAttack BlackPak has stations for up to 10 rod holders, each of which can be installed vertically or angled. When 4 or more rod holders are used, they can be installed in the "high and dry" position, preventing unwanted seepage from a wet tank well. The top rails are configured to accept all YakAttack GearTrac or Mighty Mount compatible accessories. The lid is hinged and latched with elastic cord, and is designed for easy removal, allowing it to double as a bait board. This is a brand new BlackPak that was used a display in one of our retail stores. It has several scuffs and dirt marks on it, but nothing more than you're going to get the first time you use it out fishing. See additional images for details.

I think the very existence of Brahma or Shiva is under scrutiny here, just like zeus.

Also any sufficiently advanced civilization also creates tools to protect there own existence.

Alas there should be some remains of Building, construction, Manufacturing unit or factories , Books, machinery,parts, remains something ... ? But no such thing exists for any so called "Ancient Indian technology" If at all they were build at any scale for consumption, there should be some direct or indirect evidence of its existence and not just mere fables.

Otherwise any such religious text is indistinguishable from A children's books like Harry Potter.pankajhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884083117643488041.post-38903760796087935632012-02-23T10:11:48.035+05:302012-02-23T10:11:48.035+05:30>But it is given by a mantra/prayer and not by ...>But it is given by a mantra/prayer and not by the advanced scientific processes we must use today.

The Exotic gadgetry that Ramayana depicts isn't anything more than fiction at best. Man in any age was perfectly capable of imagining aerial flight, even if they never had the means to implement it. For your information Ramayana isn't the only text that imagines about such machines. But there are many religious text speaking in a similar fashion. so how does this put Ramayana in some unique light ? It is just another ancient doctrine building a story on the popular ideas of that day and age. The weaponry or flying machine description in Ramayana is very vague and many times highly incorrect as i have mentioned in my earlier comments. In this modern day and age we have far more superior weapons than Rama could have ever have envisioned or he wouldn't be using bow and arrow himself. The gist is stop living in the golden era that never existed come back to reality and you will see that there is a lot we have conquered and lot needs to be done , the ancients were just building sand castles.pankajhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884083117643488041.post-30454295379571637022011-12-20T23:30:12.188+05:302011-12-20T23:30:12.188+05:30Science what we know is just 2000 years old, so ge...Science what we know is just 2000 years old, so getting the scientific evidence of a million year old earth is not possible to science itself.

Hmm... again i have come to this blog, where people come to fuel there imaginations. The essence of science is empirical knowledge. Yes indeed i have read the true version of Ramayana called valmiki Ramayana. and let me tell you something about it, it is said that valmiki Ramayana was written long before the occurrence actually took place. Do you think that is possible ..? Also as a researcher what you say small golden amulets shaped like planes found in peru could very well be just a just a shape resembling a mosquito cult or co-incidence. People are perfectly capable of drawing weird figures as amulets with out a hint of aerodynamics. Science as we know is more advanced than anything we ever had before, never before in human history did people from earlier times able to develop cyclotron(particle accelerators). Misquoting the words of great scientists is a favorite hobby of occultists and pseudo science believers. Openhiemer cited verses from Bhagavad Gita and not Ramayana or Mahabharata. which were as follows :

If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one ...

and on the day they were observing the nuclear blasts he said :

Verse : "kālo'smi lokakṣayakṛtpravṛddho lokānsamāhartumiha pravṛttaḥ"

Which means, "I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."

The things that are not EXPLAINABLE yet does not mean we have to take the help of occult, sooner or later the true things of things will be revealed, through meticulous scientific observation. and previous track record of science has consistently proved religion and occult wrong, there are more reasons to believe that it would continue the same in future. It is religious interpretations that have always changed or modified itself to incline with science and not the other ways round.pankajhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884083117643488041.post-13008446394331374512011-11-04T11:51:56.255+05:302011-11-04T11:51:56.255+05:30It looks like Mr. Pankaj had got all things confus...It looks like Mr. Pankaj had got all things confused. Who said there were no descriptions about Aerial Topography? If he had read the Ramayana in it's true & proper version, he could have read that on return, after the war, Rama had Indeed described the vast coastlines & the topography of India to Sita. Would it be possible without actually flying over? What he calls myth? Well, i do agree that human beings used to term UNEXPLAINED as God or God's Doing, but still there are unexplained things. At least, un-understood YET. Hindu Myth had described about Big Bang theory also. Unless and until you know something, would you dare to talk about it? And why to take things just as heard? Seeing the dramatized versions on TV one should not jump into a discussion or conclusion. As a researcher i myself had seen artifacts in Peru that are carbon dated to be thousands of years old, and one of them, a very small hardly 2 inches and made of pure gold, was a beautiful model of a modern combat aircraft, precision made and with cockpit too. Does your argument state Dr. Openheimer also as a believer of superstitions? Didn't he Quote from Ramayana & Mahabaratha when asked if his invention was the first ever atomic weapon to be tested and he replied saying "Probably Yes. in the Modern times" & went to quote from those two epics. Science as you, i & many others know... is still in it's infancy - to our knowledge. But there had been people who really knew more than what we know now. One (semi) modern day example: check the maps of Vaso-da-Gama, Columbus and those men. They had shown Antartica not as barren ice lands. But as Continents (extracted from earlier maps). Get the essence of science, not the stories. This is not to hurt anyone, but just trying to explain, at-least a firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884083117643488041.post-69716299760411247042010-03-25T08:45:40.534+05:302010-03-25T08:45:40.534+05:30Dear Aquarian, Is it really Important to drag peo...Dear Aquarian,

Is it really Important to drag people from bronze age to mid bronze age and give credit to them for something they most probably would never have achieved ...... who were not able to accomplish anything with there imagination ... dont you think that it is fasifiably so wrong to give credit to some bronze aged myth for modern day advancement .... although it may seem like a cultural prestige issue to to say something like ... "Our ancestors use to have flying machines" yes it does give us a sense of falsehood and pretense of our great past ... but at the core of this thesis lies the true understanding of the logical world ... we accept it or not ... but the truth is bronze aged people were not as advanced as us ... there are lots of such myths in other religious books too ... that does not make it true , on the contrary it make a case of great understanding and imagination achievable by human mind but not definitely of its existence ... and please don't drag myths like NAZCA lines ... they can easily be drawn without an aerial ... view ... this has been explained lots of times ...please google it ..u will know ... there are more acceptable and logical explanations for things like these.

"The reason why ancient Indian knowledge has not yet been proved on these lines is because we haven't yet come across concrete evidence" --> Well if u don't have evidence you don't call it science do you ..? and how can u believe in something when you dont have proof ...i m talking here from the perspective of logical and scientific domains ... please don't call shots based on conspiracy theories like nazca lines ... when you bring such theories under scientific scrutiny they crumble under their own weight .....

Carl sagan --> he was definitely a great astronomer ... but think what u are saying ...

"Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" --> just give me one single comeback on that ... the thing is "Absence of evidence is evidence of absence" as long as you don't find one.

I am trying to give you people a true understanding of things ... it is logically so incoherent to believe ancient myths .... but let me give you one more case... and you will know that we never had any flying machine what so ever ....

Had our ancients knew powered flight it would be easy to have known about the spherical nature of earth ...?
Surely it would be very easy for such an advanced civilisation with the power of flight ... ... and if not ... how they use to navigate aerially ..... did they have any cartographic knowledge ... Why do ancient scriptures don't speak anything about ... Maps or their construction ..? Was it not so important .... ? You have flying machines but no maps ...? That sounds like great argument. But there is even a greater argument ... had our ancients known about spherical nature of earth ... then why do they describe ...earth beared by "Varah Avtara" of vishnu on it tusks.... ? did they not know about gravity ... ?
We can Fly But dont't ask me about gravity/Gravitational force ... Why do ancient scriptures dont explain about ,.. laws of motion ...?

You see there are lots of different sciences involved in co-ordination for years to make powered flight possible .... and all it takes is one evening for a writer of some scripture to imagine it. ...

Do you still think that the credit for powered flight goes to Yajurveda and Pushpak vimana. .... is it really fair .. to say ... Vedic people were original pioneers of flight ...?pankajhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884083117643488041.post-90065993499201907772010-03-23T23:24:19.131+05:302010-03-23T23:24:19.131+05:30Dear Pankaj, This is regarding the doubts you had ...Dear Pankaj,
This is regarding the doubts you had expressed in your post.

First, you say that how can there be "One extra seat than the number of passengers?" Well, it is very simple. What it really means is that there is always a seat reserved for the pilot who ultimately flies the aircraft. Even in modern day planes, the "pilot" is not considered to be a "passenger". He sits apart from them in his own special chamber – the cockpit.

Secondly, about your objection to triangle shaped aircraft....you doubt if it could fly. Did the Concorde fly? Yes, it did and it was roughly triangular in shape. Or why go so far back? Look at the X-47B the US Air Force's latest remote controlled combat aircraft. It is perfectly triangular in shape.

As far as the Wright brothers' contribution to modern aviation goes, it goes without saying that it is immense, there is no doubt about it. However, to say that the credit of flying first goes all to them is nonsense. Even before the Wright brothers, an Indian named Shivkar Talpade had made an unmanned aircraft to fly on a Mumbai beach.

The gigantic signs of birds, animals, spirals, etc. on the plains of Nazca which can only be seen from a great height (and there being no high mountain in the vicinity) are a testimony to the fact that thousands of years ago somebody had gone high up and planned to draw these signs.

You say that "Science deals with concrete proofs determinable, replicable, researched, scrutinized, peer reviewed ... calculable, facts and not just mere mention". The reason why ancient Indian knowledge has not yet been proved on these lines is because we haven't yet come across concrete evidence. But as the late Dr. Carl Sagan, the famous exobiologist once said "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence".

Do you understand what he meant to say?aquarianhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884083117643488041.post-50882903356866728272010-03-15T03:53:28.939+05:302010-03-15T03:53:28.939+05:30Wright Brothers introduced the world to Airplane ....Wright Brothers introduced the world to Airplane ..... and i do remember ...... the description of "Pushpak Vimana" in Ramayana .... It was given by brahma to Kuber ... which Ravana won from kuber in a war.

The Description of Pushpak vimana as a Flying machine has a Poetic sense to it ...and not a scientific one...
Just look at it : Imagine a vehicle ... which always has one extra seat than the number of passengers ... that is N+1 seats for N passengers .... great .... so flexible plane ....? seat Adjustable ....But What about Load Capacity .......? Does the fuel source or energy required for aviation also adjusted accordingly ...?

The construction of Pushpak Vimana: It had three wheels and was triangular in shape ... and had two wings .... does that sound like a description similar to observing .... say a bird or a boat with wings .... and please try drawing wings on a triangle you will be surprised.... can this thing even fly ....? What About Aerodynamics ...?

http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/9503/pushpakviman.jpg

Now, Let us look at the propellant or fuel for this flying machine ... it was the vested hidden power of the ... mantras ...Great power of mantra ---> Flying machine's engine ..?

Wright Brothers tried more than 200 different variants of wing designs for gliders before attempting powered flight ,..... had "Yajurveda" mentioned it in the construction more clearly would have saved them the effort to start with gliders ..... also is there any incidence .... of wright brothers reading Vedas ... ? i guess not .... instead they were inspired by German pioneer Lilienthal and his Gliding Flights .... mere mention does not prove of its science or Scientific Roots ...in fact it is not Science at all ... it is theology/Philosophy ... Science deals with concrete proofs determinable , replicable , researched , scrutinized, peer reviewed ... calculable , facts and not just mere mention.. that's poetic...

To Wright brothers alone belongs the credit—and the honor—for giving the world the aero technology which changed the course of history as no other. They have given mankind a great and vital commercial air transportation system, the aerospace industry, and air power for defense. Their dedication in adversity serves as an inspiration to all mankind.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has released a series of studies highlighting the importance in updating the way society collects, uses and manages all types of consumer data, which has good insight and direction for marketers, as well. These studies firmly recommend that any regulation around consumer data and privacy must be modernized to reflect our socially and digitally connected data-driven lifestyle.
Two of the reports produced by WEF with The Boston Consulting Group, "Unlocking the Value of Personal Data" and "Rethinking Personal Data: Strengthening Trust " examine how the use of personal data can create enormous value for individuals, marketers and governments. "The rules governing personal data need to be flexible enough to enable new business models, accommodate technology evolution, enable user trust and meet the requirements for user transparency," according to the WEF authors.
The "Unlocking" report calls for the establishment of an updated set of global principles that will govern how we share our own personal data, and how marketers, risk assessors, institutions and government collect and use that data. "Shared principles have been a core part of the governance of personal data for many decades. Principles can serve as the anchor points for global governance and strengthen accountability, predictability and trust," the WEF authors say.
In recognition of the complexity of these issues, DMA launched the Data Driven Marketing Institute last year to build awareness of how responsible data-driven marketing benefits both consumers and the economy. As new technologies radically enhance the production and processing of data, they also challenge consumer privacy expectations. As a result, regulators around the world are wrestling with the question over where the new lines of privacy should be drawn.
These WEF studies support the DMA and industry position that marketers are already and can continue to be responsible stewards of consumer data. While the WEF studies cover more data ground than our own marketing purview, DMA President & CEO Linda Woolley has noted that some of the findings here can be helpful in DMA efforts to oppose heedless or ill-designed regulation at the Federal or state level.
Marketers have an opportunity to participate with DMA in many ways – and ensure that blanket protections do not harm marketing activities. As the WEF studies emphasize, "Context matters." Restriction on the responsible use of data – and yet to be discovered responsible uses – will not only remove value for consumers, but put transformative innovations at risk.

ST MIRREN manager Danny Lennon was disappointed that his side failed to perform in front of the Sky cameras as the lost 4-1 at home to Ross County.
Lennon felt the performance was one of the worst that he had witnessed since taking charge in June 2010.
"I'm proud of my players prior to the game, they've got a focus to go and show the nation live on Sky what we're all about at this football club and we were very much a shadow of ourselves," Lennon said.
"I do believe in this group of players and we certainly had a bad day at the office.
"The key thing to our success over recent months has been our endeavour, our commitment, our belief and more importantly the work-rate, which has been absolutely incredible until yesterday.
"There was a lack of passion, a lack of desire, a lack of fight and it really hurts me."
Debutant Ivan Sproule netted a double as the Highland side turned in an impressive display.
Richard Brittain fired the visitors ahead with an excellent 25-yard free-kick after 22 minutes and Adams' side passed up numerous opportunities to extend their advantage during the first half.
St Mirren levelled five minutes into the second half before Sam Morrow took advantage of a defensive howler by David Barron to restore County's lead.
Sproule added a third four minutes later and then capped off an excellent performance when he tapped home a fourth.

If you are getting a black screen when recording with Ezvid, this means you must put your game into WINDOWED MODE first, and then record it with Ezvid.
We've had a few 'black screen' reports and 'screen recorder' reports and our current guess is that this happens with games that should be put into "windowed mode" to be recorded with Ezvid. To learn how to put your game into windowed mode, please cut and paste this text into google, but replace the blank bit with the name of your game:
"How Do I Put ___________ into windowed mode?"
Next, please follow the directions you find to put your game into Windowed Mode, and then try to screen record again with Ezvid.
Please try this and tell us if it works or if you're still stuck… thanks!
There is also a more rare black screen problem which we have seen which is related to corrupted display drivers. We saw it once when we were using Steam to install DOTA 2 and Star Trek Online.
After we installed these games, we went back to Ezvid and found that the display screen was always black. We spent FOREVER trying to find the cause, and in the end luckily we found it.
In our case, the problem was related to a corrupted display driver for LogMeIn. This was also disabling windows Aero on our system. So this is a hint — if windows aero (i.e. fancy transparent windows) isn't working, and you're also getting a black screen problem with Ezvid, you likely have this issue.
Here' how to fix it. Go to your device manager and open "display adapters"
In our case, the problem was solved by right-clicking "LogMeIn Mirror Driver", choosing Uninstall, and then restarting the computer. We were then able to use Ezvid with no black screen problems, even after re-installing LogMeIn.
Our guess is that Steam and/or DOTA 2 and/or Star Trek Online do something nasty with a computer's Directx or display drivers, such that stuff can get messed up.

Too geeky for Blogger but not geeky enough to frob the blogspot header for a meta refresh or to combine your feeds on feedburner, though? amirite?ReplyDelete
Correct. I've never even looked into Feedburner. What's the value?ReplyDelete
Value = More flexibility with your RSS feed, solid stats, and a way to combine some other stuff into your main site's RSS (for example, your Google Reader shares and comments, not that you want the whole world knowing that, but it's an example)ReplyDelete

"She's a Hurricane." It starts now!
Every time I begin to write a new song, it reminds me of all of those who've helped me bring my creations into reality. Not just the musicians, but all of my friends and company who encourage me.
While i tend to toil away quietly in my little home studio when writing and recording, I do on occasion reach out to brethren and sisters in song.
Every once in while I hear back with a LIKE or friending.
I just began writing 'She's a Hurricane' . This is going to end up being one of my favorites. I can feel it. I had a friend ask, 'who's it about?'
Every woman who's blown in and out of my life !
My songs have seldom been about a specific person, though some have. Most believe they are about specific relationships. But, they are usually about an experience that we all have shared. A conglomeration of happenings in our life if you will.
I believe that's what makes these creations special.
There is a personal touch that speaks to our individual-collective souls.
My personal favorite songwriters include Billy Joel, Diane Warren, Cat Stevens, Harry Chapin, Marc Cohn and many more.
This is what makes the GREAT song crafter's masters at their art. I don't claim to be in their company, though I pledge to continue my quest.
I've always described songwriting, not as a personal talent , but instead a fortunate happenstance.
Imagine a stream of shared ideas hovering above your head and you just happen to pop your head into that stream. I have that ability for whatever reason. It's what gives me serenity and torment.
I have songs that I've written in 10 minutes and others that continue to haunt me 30 years later because they're not done.
Such is the creative process.
The past year or so, I've been fortunate in that I've written a half a dozen new songs and actually finished them. The new problem, getting them recorded. I'm so much of a perfectionist that they're never done in my opinion. Others tell me just walk away, it's great.
How ? Maybe, it's something I can learn in my second half century!
"She's a Hurricane" coming soon to a player near you, no really I swear!

Jessie and the gang are reunited for a second heart-pounding whitewater ride through the Grand Canyon. The teens are thrilled to have another go at the Colorado together - especially Jessie, who will get to pilot a raft this time. But when they find out that the infamous ringleader Troy is behind the reunion trip, tempers flare. Troy says he wants the chance to redeem himself, but Jessie suspects his motives. Nonetheless, and even as the water rises to record levels, the river calls Jessie and the others to embark on another life-or-death adventure. Between the thundering water and the intense emotions it unleashes, the river itself will provide the ultimate test.
Downriver won praise from readers across the country as well as many awards. With River Thunder, Hobbs draws from his own whitewater experience to craft another riveting wilderness adventure full of lifelike detail. With Christina Moore's dramatic narration, you will hear the river thunder and shiver with excitement right along with Jessie and her friends.

"This ruling brings a whole new range of behaviors under the umbrella of Title VII," says TIME correspondent Adam Cohen. "It's an important case." Yet it was a relatively easy decision for the unanimous court. "The court went out of its way not to turn this into a gay-rights case," says Cohen. "It's a simpler question of general applicability -- harassment is harassment."
Cohen thinks the floodgates may now be open. "This is going to have a huge impact on the workplace," he says. "Now that the court has given the green light here, we could be seeing a whole lot of lawsuits."

2005: Growth Amid Desolation, Part 3
What I try to teach, in person and in writing, has to do with finding a way to live amid a society defined by violence, inequity, conflict, despair, and perhaps above all, ignorance.
Case in point: the mass media. Take a fast look at this 2005 yearend roundup at ABC News' website, paying particular attention to the "Most Read Stories." Pretty grisly stuff, huh? Jacko, Brad and Jennifer, the American Idol affair, the youth pill...nothing there about Iraq or Darfur (which was probably the most tragic story of the year for the vastness of its injustice, loss, and human suffering) or Plame or Scooter or Katrina or FEMA or the Asian earthquake. It's pretty sad on the face of it: but then, consider the source.
In any event, my work here at Daily Rev, in my books, and in my counseling practice involves being a catalyst for independence. The only way I can see (with my admittedly limited vision) out of the mess we've created of our world today is to help to rebuild a society of freethinking individuals, one person at a time. My main project in this regard is myself: I cannot pretend to have answers, because I find that whenever I think I've gotten hold of an answer, a hundred more questions arise. In the first of my "Life Lessons in a Time of War" I expressed it this way:
Whenever you think you have the Answer, ask another question. When you think you've solved The Big Puzzle, turn within and rearrange the pieces.
Now maybe I shouldn't mention how the "Life Lessons" pieces got started. All right, sometimes I sort of hear this voice on the F train during the commute to work. So call the guys in the white coats or get me a one-way to Gitmo. But it's not really crazy, if you think about it. I have, anyway, and here's what I've heard:
Listen closely for the quietest voice within you. Learn to hear it first and to follow it most. That voice can guide you toward freedom and out of the slavery of conflict.
To hear it, you must be very still, even amid action and tumult--like an athlete who performs at top speed while feeling every moment as if time were the pages of a book.
You must also silence those other, louder voices of broadcast reason, doubt, and defamatory denial. These voices trade in false logic, dogma, belief, and disbelief. They help us keep our blinders tightly strapped; they hold us fast to the treadmill.
Scientists now tell us that stars form in perfect symmetry; that the universe breathes and grows in an orderly, though not rigid, fashion. Yet we are led to believe that our lives are governed by random chance, all the way to the point where the medicine we take, the leaders we choose, and the destiny we achieve, are all the outcome of a probabalistic lottery.
But if you choose to reject the random and affirm the universal order, you will be silenced with labels: new age lunatic, enemy of reason. Please, make your choice: the labels, too, like all slanders, will not stick.
If it is rational to suppose that we are the victims of chaos in a universe defined by order, then I am ready to abandon reason and fulfill the prophecy of the skeptics.
Thankfully, neither of us needs to do that. Reason as we know it is a small piece of the whole; a member of the family of the personality that is led by feeling. The stars that form in perfect order are not fixed in their places. The stars laugh at the Cartesian lie as they dance dressed in their nebula. Nothing is fixed, yet all is in order. This is the great harmonic: everything lives and moves except ego. And even ego can't quite keep its feet in the concrete in the end, though it may die trying.
The harmony of the cosmos is real, and it is within you. But the appearance that was painted over your child's eyes--that is an illusion. Strip it away, a little each day, and shake out the dust of dogma from the eyes of your mind.

VIBHOR Yadav is desperate to put an end to a two-year century drought, but the Swindon all-rounder's recent contributions to his team's cause are more than making up for his failures to reach three figures.
For the second time in three weeks, Yadav reached the late 90s for Swindon in their WEPL Glos/Wilts clash with Warminster on Saturday, but he couldn't quite get over the line, ending 97 not out in the County Ground outfit's successful run chase.
Yadav anchored the pursuit of Warminster's 212 and afterwards revealed his frustration at not quite reaching his own ton.
He said: "I'm finding ways not to score a hundred. It was pretty good. It was in a chase, so that means a little bit more, as does being there at the end. It gives you a little bit more satisfaction.
"Hopefully next week I'll be speaking to you with a hundred. I've been scoring quite a few 50s but I've not scored for two years. It's a bit frustrating but I've got to be patient. If it's going to happen it's going to happen, you can't keep thinking about it."
Swindon now sit 32 points behind table-topping Lechlade in third place in the league table, while Rockhampton are 21 points above them in second, and Yadav is hopeful of at least making sure the leaders don't have an easy stroll towards promotion.
He said: "I joined after the first six games, so I wouldn't know a lot about what happened before but since I've joined we've played six, won five and lost one - and even in that game I was injured. I couldn't bowl and I couldn't bat properly.
"There seems to be a bit of team bonding and everyone seems to be working well for each other.
"Anything is possible but we're just taking it per game.
"There is obviously mathematically a chance to get to the top spot so we have to keep pushing for the promotion, just in case Lechlade and Rockhampton slip.
"The good thing is we've still got to play those two teams and if we beat them then it's not going to harm us as we're pushing for that promotion place."

BONN (Jul. 24)
West German State Secretary Hans Globke declined to comment here today on the sentence of life imprisonment handed down yesterday by an East Berlin court, following his conviction in absentia on charges of having helped prepare measures for the mass killing of Jews. More than 70 witnesses were heard in the trial, including representatives of Nazi victims organizations from Poland, Israel and France.
A Christian Democrat Party spokesman said here today that the East German sentence was without legal significance and was the result of a "show trial" by a state based on injustice. Dr.Globke, 64, has announced his intentions of retiring from his Government post later this year.

Remodeled service station opens near homeless 'rest stop' sites
EUGENE, Ore. - The Eugene Service Center for the homeless has reopened after a remodeling project.
St. Vincent de Paul executive director Terry McDonald and Mayor Kitty Piercy both noted the location of the Eugene Service Station on Highway 99, is close to the 2 sites approved by the City of Eugene for legal homeless camping "rest stops."
The project came as the Eugene Service Station saw a significant increase in the number of homeless adults needing services.
Original estimates were at 50 people per day in the early days of the center; over the years, the reality is more than 200 per day, the nonprofit said.
St. Vincent de Paul received a grant of $189,716 via a City of Eugene Community Development Block Grant to enlarge and renovate the station on Highway 99. The updated center features 75% expanded seating space and a new commercial kitchen.
SVDP local director, Terry McDonald, says the center on certain days is getting close to 300 homeless visitors a day and needs the space. He says it also means more access to programs that helped people like 25 year old Danielle Henderson, now a volunteer at the service station.
Henderson says she became homeless 5 years ago after the death of her mother. She met her future fiance at a homeless camp and got pregnant. Both were battling drug abuse and Henderson says her baby was born positive for marijuana and meth. The state took custody of the boy, but that devastating event prompted the couple to kick drugs.
"And we've been clean for 16 months and our boy is 17 months. We've been working with DHS the whole time," explains Henderson. Long story short--after securing housing and taking other steps, Danielle says she's scheduled to regain custody of Jayvan on December 14Th. She concludes, "It means my life.

Crush outlasts pack for 12U state crown
Tue, 2014-07-22 05:00 News Staff
By TJ MAXWELL
When Stephenville Crush's Tayliegh Pendleton approached the pitcher's circle in the sixth inning of the 12-under Texas Teenage Association Softball State Tournament showdown with the Rockdale Blasters on Thursday, she knew she was just three outs away from a state championship – a goal that her and her teammates worked hard for all year. After the three outs, the intense scowl of an athlete determined to win, transformed into a tearful 12-year-old girl seeking an embrace from her loving father. After retiring the side to secure the championship, Tayliegh launched herself into the arms of her father and head coach Jeff Pendleton where they both exchanged tears and hugs for what seemed like forever.

In 1963 I was an eager 20-something newspaper reporter in search of a Pulitzer, and had just taken a job at a respected weekly newspaper in suburban Dayton, Ohio.
One of the backbones of any weekly newspaper is the neighborhood "news" submitted from part-time correspondents, items such as who attended Johnny's 9th birthday party and what church auxiliary was giving a potluck supper.
Some correspondents were fairly decent writers, but most were totally unfamiliar with newspaper reporting. The Associated Press stylebook was not on their nightstand.
Consequently, reporters were given the correspondents' submissions to edit. It was not a task we relished. Many were written in longhand, and even those few that were typed were filled with errors. Often it was easier just to use the submitted copy as notes and rewrite the entire column, a time-consuming process.
To make matters worse, correspondents were paid by the column inch and they didn't take kindly to the massive cuts of their copy that were inevitable. Our editor took sadistic pleasure in handing out the columns at random.
One week he tossed a column on my desk and said, "Here, edit this one. It's from a woman in Centerville (Ohio) who wants to write a weekly column for us. Tell me what you think."
Great, another neighborhood Hemingway. Probably scribbled.
Instead I saw before me a neatly typed manuscript.
I started to read the column, editing pencil at the ready.
I read some more.
I put the copy pencil down.
I kept on reading. I was enthralled. It was hilarious. And with the exception of a few typesetting marks, it required no editing.
I put the column down and looked up at my editor, who had a silly grin on his face.
"Wow," I said, "she's good, really good."
"I know," he said. "We're going to hire her."
Her name was Erma Bombeck. And this was just the beginning.
For the year or so she wrote for our Kettering-Oakwood Times, reporters fought for the job of editing her column just to be the first to read it. One of the K-O Times' subscribers was the editor of the daily Dayton Journal Herald. Bombeck was known to him because she had worked there as a teenage copygirl and had done a little writing. After reading her columns in the weekly, it wasn't long before he hired her.
Success was inevitable. At one point Bombeck's column, "At Wit's End," appeared in more than 600 newspapers in the United States. Her bestselling books, including If Life Is a Bowl of Cherries, What Am I Doing in the Pits? and A Marriage Made in Heaven: Or Too Tired for an Affair, sold millions of copies. Readers ate up her one-liners: "If a man watches three football games in a row he should be declared legally dead" . . . "I've exercised with women so thin that buzzards followed them to their cars."
She died in April 1996 from kidney disease at age 69.
• • •
Through the years I have met many people who were fans of Erma Bombeck and they typically ask me what she was like in person.
I tell them that she was like her writing: warm, witty and charming. She was perhaps the original working moms blogger.
I have never forgotten one particularly moving column she wrote for the old weekly. It was about the day she sent her youngest child off to school.
She confessed that she had been so eager to get her last child in school she would have "mailed him in" if possible.
But when "that great big yellow bus swallowed up her small child," she felt sadness. She then went on to describe many of the tender and hilarious events that had occurred during his early childhood.
She concluded by writing that when afternoon came and she watched her child leaving the school bus, "That yellow bus looked a lot smaller, or maybe it was just that my child was now a lot bigger."
Years later I was watching Bombeck on The Tonight Show. Johnny Carson asked her what her favorite column was. She said it was the one about sending her last child to school.
John E. Condron is retired from publishing and lives in Citrus Hills, where he is a volunteer and vice president of Citrus Memorial Hospital Auxiliary.

Putting Savvy Armor to the Test
I was able to test out all the Savvy products that I installed last month for the first time. I put the armor through some of the toughest trails at Green Acres in Clayton, OK. Here are the trails that we ran.
Day 1 - "Jeff's Ledges" - "Green Mamba" - "Green Mamba Extension" - "8-Point"
Day 2 - "Access Road/Walter's Mule Trail" - "Cake Walk" - "Black Sheep"
Everything held up well, but I was able to put a few scratches on them. :cool:
Let's start out with the Under Armor. I gave it a light tap to start the day off.
It provides excellent clearance underneath!
How about a look at the Under Armor?
Next up is the corner armor. I decided to test it out by laying the Jeep on its side.
I must have hit it just right. Minor scratching on the corner armor and door, but it got my tub.
Here are a few pics of the rear bumper. I put a nice little dent in it.
Here are a few pics of the damage at the end of the day.
I put a crack in one of the Under Armor welds. It's kind of hard to see it in these pics.
Just a few scratches. I might have even put a small crease in it, but won't be able to confirm until I pull it.
For the most part everything held up well. I'll have to look at getting the Under Armor replaced. When I get some more time, I'll post some more thoughts.

Wow I think your nuts. Haha jk but what a test. Thanks for sharing
As much as I like the UA system, and I know how much Blaine has tested it, I don't trust the aluminum when it is welded and not heat treated afterward. (I never got confirmation that it was, so correct me if I'm wrong)
Welding the 6061 aluminum and not having it heat treat destroys the strength in the area that it is welded, and will cause it to crack a lot easier. I know it doesn't completely relate since mountain bikes are very thin aluminum (but aren't taking as much force), but you would never see an aluminum mountain bike not heat treated, it would snap in half the first time out...
I'm sure it would add some money to the cost to get them all heat treated, but I think it would help improve the system, making a better system, and would be worth the extra cost.
I'm not going to re-heat treat that much aluminum for two small splices that are readily done and very cost effective. There's literally 3" of weld and it's simply not worth it to pay a fortune to a heat treater.
Plus, all you have to do is ask (read that post and up a bit):
Can't say they don't go out of the way for you.
You need to come out and wheel with us! I like your style! It is almost time for you to get a buggy if you like playing in the rocks.
I'll send you some steel brackets we have that will fix the weld crack. You are the second person that has wheeled hard enough to need the brackets. You just need to drill a few 3/8" holes and add the brackets and all is good.
Thanks for sharing the cool pix. Man you drive like me. By Braille! :rofl:
John Currie and Blaine taught me ease up to the obstacle and when you hit it back up and drive around it. If you every get a chance to wheel with those guys, watch how smooth they are in the rocks. It still amazes me when we go wheeling. They drive around the rocks and I bash into them.
Looks like you had a blast. Must have rattled your head good to dent that stuff. :rofl:

FPA's leader fears that nothing was learned from 2008.
Get mutual fund and stock information from our analyst team delivered to your e-mail inbox every Tuesday. Sign up for our free Investment Insights e-newsletter.
Bob Rodriguez is back at FPA, but he isn't taking back the reins at his former funds. My colleague Chris Davis and I had a chance to catch up with the three-time Morningstar Fund Manager of the Year and he filled us in on what he's up to now that he's back.
You may recall that he took 2010 off for a much-deserved sabbatical after steering his funds safely through the 2008 meltdown. He said he spent the year traveling--he was in the Galapagos Islands when the flash crash hit--reading and racing in the American Le Mans Series at the pro level.
Now that he's back at FPA, he's serving as CEO. He says he's been working on building up the team and figuring out the threats to the markets and to FPA's portfolios.
He's also worried about investors' eagerness to take on risk. "I'm amazed that I have been away for a while and I come back, and in many cases it's as if nothing has really changed," he said. "Last week, I cut out a couple of headlines from the Wall Street Journal. This is from Feb. 7: 'Investors Expand Appetite In Hunger For Higher Yields,' 'Aleris Debt Sale Covenant-Lite.' The next day, 'Yield on Junk Approaching All-Time Low.'"
Rodriguez worries that the soaring national debt could trigger a crisis in the next two to five years. "One of the things that I can do on my return is make sure that we have prepared our firm again for the potential of the next crisis and I alluded to it in my Morningstar speech (in summer 2009) when I commented about the government, the insane growth in debt that was going on," Rodriguez said. "I commented that, at the end of 2011, Treasury debt outstanding would be somewhere between $14.6 trillion and $16.6 trillion and I think it's pretty safe to say, it's going to be north of $15 trillion at the end of this year and that these trends were not sustainable. And, in my opinion, the next crisis, as opposed to focusing on a particular financial institution, would probably emanate from the governmental area, be that federal, state, or local, and nothing has changed."
Rodriguez thinks the Fed is way off base with its inflation measurements, too as its lack of attention to stock and real estate prices meant it was unknowingly creating bubbles and not understanding the influence it would have on inflation as people spend their gains from real estate or stocks. "The Fed focuses on its core inflation numbers," Rodriguez said. "As I argued before back in the late '90s, if you put the Dow Jones or the S&P 500 in the CPI index and they would have said, 'Oh! My goodness, we're having inflation,' and they would have taken a different monetary policy. The second time around I was arguing that their inflation numbers, if they include single-family pricing rather than rents, the way the composition was, that they would say, 'We're facing inflation, we are going to have to constrain the economy.'
"Well, we are going again and inflation is subdued, but there it is leaking out into other areas, and I would say it's leaking out into asset valuations, commodities. I would argue that the sloshing around of excess liquidity--especially from the Federal Reserve--has resulted in some countries putting on forms of capital controls.

Great show, only 2 issues. The acoustics of Conseco still suck, at least up high where we were. And being up high just wasn't as nice as being lower or more straight on from the stage.
David was lost in the mix for us at times, but for the most part the band sounded really tight. I was surprised at how tight. Eddie was just nuts, and seemingly really inspired to be out there. Tons of energy from him.
Finally, after that ripping set my buddy and I are ready for some new studio material.

Compared to other complementary therapies for IBD, more research has been conducted specifically examining the link between exercise and Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
A number of published studies suggest that regular exercise not only improves the patient's quality of life, but also reduces symptoms of the disease. A recent meta-analysis published in the The Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness reviewed 7 studies on exercise and IBD and concluded that exercise seems to reduce symptoms of the disease, while simultaneously improving the patient's quality of life indicators.[1] However, the authors noted that there wasn't sufficient evidence linking exercise to heightened immune function in individuals with IBD (the results of the studies were mixed).
Three additional studies published in the last few years also support the use of low intensity exercise to improve both the quality of life and symptoms of individuals living with IBD.[2,3,4] One of these studies looked at a population of sedentary patients living with Crohn's disease. The patients were put on a low-intensity exercise program consisting of three 30 minute walks weekly. After 12 weeks, the patients demonstrated statistically significant improvements in IBD Stress Index, IBDQ score, and Harvey Bradshaw Simple Index – all measures of disease activity.[2]
It should be noted that these studies did not find any correlation between exercise and the onset of IBD, meaning the jury is still out on whether exercise can help prevent IBD and bolster immune function in patients with IBD. More research is needed in this area. Also, most of the studies identified low-intensity exercise as being associated with disease improvement. The available research does not support the use of strenuous physical activity to control disease symptoms.

I am so nervous. I suddenly see these blood stains. I have had a swelling chest, so doctor told me to remove the surgical bra for a few hours each day. I wonder if the tightness of the bra aggravated it? Is this normal??

Blood Stains 2 Days Post Op Breast Augmentation. Is This Normal? Please Answer, I'm Freaking Out.
Dear randomchick,
Thank you for your post. It is quite common to develop bruises after breast augmentation, or any other surgery for that matter. In fact, these bruises can often travel down with gravity to an area well below the operative site. Continue to follow up with your surgeon as indicated.
best wishes,
Pablo Prichard, MD

Normal bruising pattern after a breast augmentation
You are developing a minor degree of bruising and it is not unusual for this to occur a few days after surgery. Nothing to be concerned about as long as your breasts are relatively soft and the breast are about the same size.

Relax, this looks like a bruise. If you have questions that concern you about your recovery, the best reassurance will come from your own surgeon. All the best.

In the absence of other signs or symptoms - such as fever, chills, sweats, asymmetry, frank bleeding from the incisions - it looks like these are small bruises that are not uncommon. If so, they should lighten on their own over the next few days and eventually disappear. Either way, you should contact your PS to touch base and, if necessary, be seen earlier than your scheduled post-operative visit.
I hope that this helps and good luck,

Bruising after breast augmentation
I really wouldn't worry about this minor amount of bruising. Quite common and it will resolve in the next 2 weeks.
Blood Stains 2 Days Post Op Breast Augmentation. Is This Normal? Please Answer, I'm Freaking Out.
Only IN PERSON examination would allow us to give a more definitive diagnosis!! Best to be seen ASAP///
good afternoon!
Looking at your photos, it appears that you have a bruise- not uncommon after augmentation surgery, especially submuscular augmentation. I would let your PS check, but it appears from your photos to be a standard bruise and should be of little concern.
I hope this helps
