Dollar is The Weak Spot for US-Paul Craig Roberts
By Greg Hunter's USAWatchdog.com (Early Sunday Release)
Former Treasury Secretary Dr. Paul Craig Roberts says all U.S. financial policy revolves around propping up the dollar. Dr. Roberts contends, "I've always said the whole system is rigged. It's a house of cards, and the weak spot is the dollar because they cannot print foreign currencies for which to buy dollars. So, if there is a worldwide run on the dollar, they lose control then. In the meantime, they have all these things they can do to counteract the direction of the markets, and I expect them to continue doing that."
So, if propping up the dollar is the top priority, then suppressing the gold price is a close second. Could the COMEX or LBMA simply run out of metal sold below mining cost? Dr. Roberts says, "Well, a lot of people think that, particularly people who think there is no gold left in Fort Knox or in the New York Fed. They think all that has been lent out and used up. If they're right, then the policy they have in naked shorts in gold to drive down the price just increases the demand in Asia for more bullion. If that is true and they don't have a way to make those deliveries, then they are producing the crisis for themselves by holding down the gold price. Whereas, if they let the price rise, it might temper the demand for gold in Asia and remove that problem."
Dr. Roberts goes on to say, "The reason they want to hold the gold price down is they are afraid of its impact on the dollar. The reason why they had to suppress the gold price is they had to protect the dollar from quantitative easing (QE) because they were printing trillions and trillions of new dollars. This was worrying people around the world who hold dollars because the dollar was increasing, but not the goods and services in the American economy. So, when the gold price took off, the Fed said this endangers QE because if the dollar is declining in value relative to gold, it must also be declining in value relative to other currencies. Once the exchange rate starts collapsing, we lose control. So, we've got to suppress gold. I don't know which side of the equation will play out first. I don't know if they will run out of gold to deliver to India and China, or people will say this is a rigged scheme and we are just not participating anymore." Roberts adds, "Again, I don't know how this will play out, but we keep seeing developments that indicate that people are not content to play in rigged markets."
On the Ukraine crisis, Dr. Roberts says, "Putin is saying, look you are pushing too far. Because we are reasonable doesn't mean you can walk all over us. Don't get the idea that because we (Russia) haven't slapped your face that we are going to permit this forever. You are being very, very aggressive to somebody who can stand up to you, and we are prepared to do that. . . .So, that is the message that he gave."
On the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, Dr. Roberts says, "We have lost control. We now have a new enemy that is our own creation. Not only that, but now the Taliban says it is uniting with the Islamic State. So, after 13 years, we couldn't defeat the Taliban, and we are going to bleed to death over there. We are already bankrupt and busted, and we are talking about carrying this fight on another 30 years. Who's going to pay for it? The Americans working part time jobs at Wal-Mart? Do they think they can print money for thirty years and the world won't flee the dollar?"
On the U.S. dollar, is the world getting ready to dump it? Dr. Roberts, who holds a PhD in economics, says, "I think on the whole, that there is a risk that it could be dumped all at once, but it's going to be dumped anyhow, even if slowly, and it's already started. When you see the Russian/Chinese agreements and the Russian/Indian agreements, what you are witnessing is people moving away from using the dollar to settle trade between one another."

FREDDIE MERCURY Animation Among 30 Best Google Doodles Of 2011
The Google Doodle celebrating what would have been late QUEEN singer Freddie Mercury's 65th birthday was voted 19 in the list of 30 Best Google Doodles of 2011.
In a very rare and extraordinary tribute to Freddie, Google celebrated his 65th birthday by running a very special doodle on its homepage. The 1:30 clip sought to capture the dynamism and diversity of Freddie's career through an animation that was as colorful and playful as his stage performances.
The quirky tribute was created by Google's in-house team of illustrators, animators and engineers. It was available for users outside of the U.S. on September 5, what would have been Freddie's 65th birthday, and was on Google.com in the U.S. on September 6 as a belated "Happy Birthday" to Freddie since his actual birthday fell on Labor Day.

When in Italy, no real foodie experience is ever truly complete if the dishes you try aren't paired with the perfect local wine. Wineries and wine cooperatives in Tuscany flourish thanks to the perfect climate and the geography of the territory, and offer a number of incredible productions that are sure to satisfy your every need in the wine department!
If you're visiting Tuscany, there are many activities you can engage in, such as visiting major cities and exploring the history and art of these places, or shopping to your hearts content for souvenirs or local products and hand-made crafts. Another great opportunity would be to visit Tuscan wineries that dot the countryside just outside pretty much every city of the region, and take part in wine tasting tours or shop for wine directly at the source. If you don't feel like leaving the comforts of your hotel or the bustle of Florence, Pisa or Arezzo, you can still experience the great wine tradition of Tuscany as you dine in the spectacular restaurants and trattorie in the city.
This brings us to a list of the 5 wines you should try during your trip to Tuscany. Some of them will be more expensive and out-of-reach for some of you than other wines on the list, but the price is well worth the quality, and all of it works towards creating an unforgettable experience: for you, your travelling companions, your taste buds and the dishes you might choose to pair, and impeccably so, to your choice of wine.
1.Chianti Classico:
This wine is produced over a wide territory of Tuscany, in the provinces of Florence, Siena, Arezzo, Pisa, Pistoia and Prato. This wine goes well with many dishes of the Tuscan tradition and also with tomato-based sauces, which is why its often paired with pasta dishes.
See more about Chianti and other Tuscany wines
2.Vin Santo:
This type of Italian dessert wine is traditional here in Tuscany and is produced with Trebbiano and Malvasia grape varieties. It's perfect when paired with typical Tuscan desserts and sweets, such as cantucci, a type of biscotti that can be dunked in the wine. The sweetness levels in this wine can vary between dry and extremely sweet varieties.
3.The Brunello di Montalcino:
This famous and excellent red wine is local of the area of the town of Montalcino, 120 km south of Florence and is produced with a variety of Sangiovese grape, that takes on the name of Brunello in the vineyards of this protected zone of Tuscany. This wine goes well paired with grilled meat and game, and for this reason it's the best wine to pair with a classic and traditional Fiorentina.
4.The Vino Nobile of Montepulciano:
This red wine is produced with an amount of at least 70% Sangiovese grape, known locally as the Prugnolo gentile variety, and originates from the vineyards surrounding the town of Montepulciano.
5.The Bolgheri Sassicaia:
One of Italys most sophisticated and expensive wines, the Sassicaia is produced exclusively in the winery of Tenuta San Guido, located in a specific and area of the town of Castagneto Carducci. It's a robust red wine, a perfect example of Italian Bordeaux-style wines.

"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw, "I just wanted to be sure of you."

Too cute! I think it was Winnie The Pooh who said "It's so much more friendly with two" - I love that one too :)
i am glad that carrie requested them. i love quotes. that is a cute one. i love winnie the pooh. have a great day.
Winnie the Pooh is one of my all time favourites....DD1 loved it as a child....and spent 2 years 'being' Tigger!!!!!
Awh, so cute. They have the sweetest friendship.
Enjoy your weekend, Deb.
Pooh and Piglet and the rest of the gang down at Pooh's Corner frequently have some very pithy things to say. Love this!
You really are too cute Deb! And so is your daughter. I miss my Friday quotes too, I think I have to get back to it soon. Have a great weekend! xoxo, Steph
Ah, so nice! Tell Carrie I'm glad she got you to reinstate this idea.
That little Piglet quote reminds me of when my DS was a toddler and sometimes said/did much the same thing (without the last bit, as I dont think he knew why he did it, but it made him feel ok).
I have a bookmark with a cool Winnie the Pooh quote: "It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words, but rather short, easy words, like 'What about lunch?'"
I concurr!
Ah, sweet. Good to see the Just A Quote slot back.
Yay! I'm so glad that you brought back the quotes. :) And that is kinda a cute picture - even though I was feeling like crap that day!
thanks, Carrie! I adore quotes :)
haha. I love the simpleness of blogging a quote on Friday :) And who doesn't love Pooh?!
I love the wisdom of Pooh. Your quote reminds me of this quote from Pooh:
"Never forget me, because if I thought you would, I'd never leave."
My daughter and I love Pooh and friends. She has a stack of stuffed Eeyores in her room and a hat that looks like Eeyore with the floppy ears and all. I bought it for me but she "borrowed" it and I never got it back.
I love the idea of quote Friday. I think I might add it to my blog. It's a great way to inspire and make people think.
I know you are doing the 365 project. Are you doing it on the actual site? I was going to but decided to just make a blog of it here. It's my Project Shutter Bug one. My only problem is just finding one picture a day so sometimes I have several.
I am glad you like the scavenger hunt. It's a blast and a family tradition now that I hope the kids continue with their kids. I found a Pooh quote that my kids would love.
"Before beginning a Hunt, it is wise to ask someone what you are looking for before you begin looking for it." - Winnie The Pooh
Have a stupendous day!
Thank you for inspiring me once again. I decided to start a new blog of quotes. I shared yours and added some I saw on Livestrong's Facebook page that I follow. I plan on using ones I know, new ones I find and "borrowing" some from my sister's facebook page. I hope people find the page and it inspires them to share. XOXO
I can't even tell you how much my girls still love Pooh.
Oh, that's beautiful :-) And you both look particularly gorgeous in that photo! xx
Great photo of the two of you! Have fun on your shopping expedition tomorrow and let me know if I need to go there :)

A powerful UNP minister who had joined the PM on his tour to China has informed of this to the president via a phone call.
The president initially expected changes to be made only with regard to several ministers who were severely criticised through the media.
However, considering the fact that these ministers would become politically destitute if they are marked as 'corrupt' within the society, the president has agreed to a complete reshuffle, reports say.
A group of powerful UNP ministers have also met with the president and explained to him the need for a complete reshuffle.
Accordingly, the cabinet reshuffle initially planned by the president, is to be held soon with the consent of the PM and is to be touted as a reshuffle made to enhance the efficiency of the good governance government.

Tim Burton's new film Frankenweenie has been premiered in Los Angeles. The black and white animation is a re-make of a short film Burton made back in 1984 and as the name suggests, is a light-hearted take on the classic horror yarn, Frankenstein.
A glittering cast of Rabbit's friends and relations voiced the animated film, which is was made in 3D, and the premier turned into something of a love-in as they all competed to praise the director most highly.
A must-see for Halloween.

Simple Wreath for All Seasons
I'm loving my Friday posts where I get to experiment with a little bit of everything. Even when I venture out into crafting, I still tend to stick to the food theme. Today, through, I'm thinking outside the kitchen. I recently made my first wreath, and I decided to share it on my blog. I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but I'm pretty happy with it.
When it comes to decor, I like to keep it simple. I'd be wanting to make a wreath and had the idea to make one that was interchangeable. I love the idea that I can change out a few pieces and customize it for the season, or holiday.
The wreath is silver with a touch of my favorite print - damask. I decided to use neutral colors so they would match a variety of colors. I attached a "W" to the wreath and am going to collect pieces for different seasons. I simply pin the pieces on the wreath and that way I can easily switch them out. So far I've collected butterflies, felt roses, and fall leaves. The pink felt roses are sort of the default, I made those myself.
Here's how I made the wreath!
Wreath materials:
- Styrofoam wreath form
- Ribbon (1 or two different colors/patterns)
- Scissors
- Straight pins
- Wooden monogram
- Felt
- Various items for wreath (leaves, butterflies, etc)
- Glue
Wreath instructions:
- Add a second color, or pattern, to the top of the wreath
- Glue wooden monogram letter onto wreath
- Attach additional pieces with straight pins; see examples below
Here's how my wreath looks on the front door!

Text Area Scrolling
Posted by Rob Camick on October 22, 2008
A JTextArea, added to a scroll pane, is commonly used to display messages generated by an application as it is easy to add messages to the text area using the append(…) method. When using a text area in this manner there is usually also a requirement that the text area scroll as each new message is added. Sometimes the text area scrolls automatically and sometimes it doesn't. Why is this?
Based on my observations, when using JDK1.4.2, I have noticed that two requirements must be met for automatic scrolling:
- the append(…) must be done on the Event Dispatch Thread
- the caret must currently be positioned at the end of the text area before the append(…) method is invoked
I have also noted that initializing a text area at creation time using any of the following approaches will cause the caret to be positioned at the start of the text area (not the end as might be expected), and therefore scrolling will not happen automatically:
- JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea("Initial text", …);
- textArea.setText("Initial text");
- textArea.read(someFile, null);
So, in general, automatic scrolling will only work on an initially empty text area when you use the append(…) method that is invoked from the Event Dispatch Thread.
So what can we do when the above conditions are not met?
The most common suggestion you will find in the forums is to use code like the following:
Unfortunately, you must reset the caret position with every append(…) to make sure the caret is at the end of the document.
Note: I probably should have titled this entry "Text Component Scrolling" since the suggestions will also apply to JTextPane.
Update September 29, 2015
When I originally wrote this blog I suggested you could use code like the following:
JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea();
DefaultCaret caret = (DefaultCaret)textArea.getCaret();
to cause the text area to scroll every time new text was added to the text area. This was wrong and was a misunderstanding of the "setUpdatePolicy(…)" functionality. There appears to be no API shortcut to force scrolling if any of the original 3 conditions are not met.
However, you can check out the Smart Scrolling link below which may provide a helpful scrolling feature.

Actually I have used a text area in my code and my requirement is like whenever any text will append to it, the scrollbar will always show the bottom contents of the textarea.
I used the below code.
scrollpane.getVerticalScrollBar().addAdjustmentListener(new AdjustmentListener()
public void adjustmentValueChanged(AdjustmentEvent ae)
But whenever I scroll it up to see the above contents of the text area, it forcefully coming down.
That means the scrollbar is constant always in buttom most position.
I need a solution for this..could you pls help me out regarding this..

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the great article. :)
I have a simple question though, if you don't find it out of the scope of this article. :)
Is there any way I could fix the caret position to the beginning of the last row line rather than the end of the document which is done by caret.setUpdatePolicy(DefaultCaret.ALWAYS_UPDATE);
Take for an example, I update my text area with a text as follows, which is repeated over and over again in the text area,
The width of the text area is smaller than the text in the current line.
|—- —–|
This is a line that is displayed in the a JTextArea
This is a line that is displayed in the a JTextArea
This is a line that is displayed in the a JTextArea
|—- —–|
The problem is, the front part of the text in the current line gets out of scope of the text area, living behind the part that didn't get out of the scope till the end of the current line.
It would be like,
|—- —–|
…is displayed in the a JTextArea'
…is displayed in the a JTextArea'
…is displayed in the a JTextArea'
…is displayed in the a JTextArea'
|—- —–|
You, can see the front part "This is a line that" getting out of scope of the width of the text area.
Hope, I made myself clear.
Thank you very much!

*6 years later*
It seems to not work if the JTextArea is not editable, but it's still very useful, thank you.

One hundred and fifty years and one day later, the South did it again.
Jeff Haller for The New York Times
People gathered for the Confederate Heritage Rally in front of the Capitol in Montgomery, Ala., on Saturday.

Civil War Timeline
An unfolding history of the Civil War with photos and articles from the Times archive and ongoing commentary from Disunion contributors.
Before a cheering crowd of several hundred men and women, some in period costume and others in crisp suits, an amateur actor playing Jefferson Davis was sworn in as president of the Confederacy on the steps of the Alabama Capitol on Saturday, an event framed by the firing of artillery, the delivery of defiant speeches and the singing of "Dixie."
The participants far outnumbered the spectators, but it was to be the largest event of the year organized by the Sons of Confederate Veterans and one in a series of commemorations of the 150th anniversary of the Confederacy and the War for Southern Independence. (Referring to the Civil War as anything other than an act of unwarranted Northern aggression upon a sovereign republic was rather frowned upon.)
The Sons' principal message was that the Confederacy was a just exercise in self-determination that had been maligned by "the politically correct crowd" through years of historical distortions. It is the right of secession that they emphasize, not the cause, which they often describe as a complicated mix of tariff and tax disputes and Northern attempts to politically subjugate the South…READ MORE

The School of Military's growing Team of Instructors and Military Mentors have diverse backgrounds and have had different life experiences, but we are all united by military ethics and a commitment to succeed. Serving in HM forces has provided us with invaluable knowledge and skills that can truly help combat the challenges facing young people today.
Throughout our courses, we aim to create a rewarding and enjoyable environment in which young people's minds can thrive and develop. We teach key life skills such a tolerance, acceptance of social and personal responsibility, respect and discipline, whilst building confidence and providing a genuine sense of achievement.
In such a diverse and media fed society, it is important that young people's lives are shaped and influenced by positive real-world experiences. This is our primary goal, and we work hard to have a positive impact on their lives and help mould them into respectful, disciplined and confident young individuals. After all, these young people will become the glue that holds our communities together in the future.
Before the Army, I was a teenage boy with very few options after being forced onto the streets of Manchester. I also made bad social choices which threatened to lead me down the wrong path. I joined the British Army and it changed my life, instilling core values and standards within me, which I now promote through education. Living and working alongside other soldiers creates a deep level of trust and understanding, that together we developed into an effective and unique educational package that we proudly offer our future generations.
As an experienced army instructor, I adapted my techniques to effectively teach and communicate with young people in primary, secondary and specialist schools. I am proud to mentor students and children who deserve the guidance and knowledge we can share with them to help them make better decisions and build foundations that will help them achieve the best they can on their journey, with the ability to make strong, positive and confident decisions while embracing life's trials and tribulations.
I look forward to working with children of all ages and guiding my team throughout schools across the North West. Providing children with the skills they need to create bright successful futures.

Dealing With Grief: Finding Your Role in the Support System
Dealing with grief is undoubtedly one of life's biggest challenges, and the painful emotions often feel insurmountable to the bereaved. While you cannot possibly know what your loved one is experiencing on a personal, intimate level, you can help lessen the pain by facing this challenging period together.
Play a Supporting Role
When someone experiences loss, it is overwhelming to everyone involved, and people sometimes choose not to do or say enough for fear of making the situation worse. Instead of simply reminding your loved one to call if the need arises, let them know that you will be there at a specified date to provide a helping hand. Take over recurring tasks such as walking the dog or making dinner, or simply spend time with them when they need it.
Be a Source of Encouragement
Dealing with grief sometimes makes people feel ashamed, embarrassed, or weak. This is especially difficult if your loved one is not accustomed to showing vulnerability in front of others. Gently let this person know that it's OK, and even encouraged, to fully embrace and acknowledge their feelings. Whether it's anger, sadness, or confusion, coming to terms with the situation is crucial to achieving a healthy recovery over time.
Be Understanding
Every individual manages personal loss differently, resulting in behavioral patterns that may seem out of the norm to you. A person may become secluded, appear more distant and unresponsive, or lash out for no apparent reason. Allow the bereaved enough space, be understanding of the situation, and do not take such actions personally. Being aware of your loved one's emotions is crucial, but it's just as important to respect those emotions.
Don't Minimize the Situation
While you should gently help your loved one on the road to recovery, remember that dealing with grief is a very personal experience. Refrain from enforcing your own beliefs to lessen your emotional discomfort. You may be inclined to highlight the positive, saying something like, "He's in a better place now." These statements may be well-intended on your part, but they can also degrade or otherwise minimize the situation at hand.
Offer Your Undivided Attention
To some, dealing with grief may involve an intense need to get things off their chest. Always aim to actively listen to everything being said. You won't always know the right things to say to help remedy the situation, but you don't need to — simply lending an ear may be just what your loved one is asking for.
As someone who has witnessed the loss of a close friend's mother to terminal cancer, I understand that there is no definitive way to comfort a person who is grieving. Being there when it matters most, however, can gradually help them overcome their loss.

|Christian Smith is batting .360 in seven games
for the Manchester Spartans.
Manchester athletics photo
Manchester parlayed a 13-hit attack with more strong starting pitching with a 8-3 win over DePauw on Sunday. A four-run fourth inning rally proved key, allowing Coach Rick Espeset's squad a 6-0 lead they wouldn't relinquish. Senior Taylor Kopplin followed suit with his Class of 2018 teammates on the mound. After Stephen Pinarski and Brandon Eck gained pitching wins March 10, Kopplin went the distance, striking out seven and giving up just the three earned runs on nine hits. The program's second complete-game outing in the past four contests helped the staff ERA continue to tumble to a season-low 5.64, as the Black and Gold have allowed only eight earned runs in the last 34 innings.
- Sunday's scores
- Upcoming Schedule: Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday
Earlham completed a three-game series sweep of visiting Kalamazoo with a 7-5 victory over the Hornets, at Sadler Stadium. The Quakers, who received a single vote in last week's D3baseball.com poll, remained undefeated with the win while improving their record to 11-0. Earlham posted four runs - all with two outs - in the sixth inning to rally from a 4-2 deficit and take a lead it held the rest of the way.
Despite a solid start by sophomore Nate Tellier and a solo jack by senior Zach Courier, Springfield scratched two runs across in the seventh to push past the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, 3-1, in game one of a doubleheader. The Corsairs came back in the afternoon and won game two by a score of 3-2 via situational hitting to split the day's decisions with the Pride.
In Keystone's 5-2 win over Marietta, all indications are the Giants hitting is starting to get on track. Junior Johann Paniagua belted a two-run home run and junior pitcher Christopher Adams Jr. struck out six batters over eight innings as Keystone won its second straight game to improve to 3-4. After managing just nine hits in their last three games, the Giants belted out seven today, including two by junior Mohammed Hussein and one each by senior Bray Curreri, juniors Dakota McFadden and Chris Panzarella, and sophomore Ryan Callahan.
Rutgers-Camden proved it can win the blowouts as well as the pitching duels as it opened its trip to the RussMatt Central Florida Invitational with a pair of impressive wins. With an impressive slugging performance in the opener, Rutgers-Camden defeated Olivet, 16-3, in a game called after seven innings. Junior Ian Scheidemann allowed only one earned run in his complete-game performance. In the nightcap, the Scarlet Raptors got a shutout from senior Carter Fichter in a 2-0 win over Ripon. The Scarlet Raptors have won four straight games since a season-opening loss.
Sophomore Joey Zwak's one-out hit in the bottom of the 10th drove in Aaron Weber to give St. Scholastica a 6-5 victory over Washington University to open play at the Russmatt Invitational. After the Bears went down in order in the top of the 10th, Weber led off the bottom frame with a walk. A Bobby Eckert sacrifice moved Weber to second and Colvard then singled to put runners at the corners. Zwak then stepped in and ripped a shot to right to plate Weber and give the Saints the 6-5 walk-off victory.
|Anthony Perconte went 1-for-5 with two RBI,
one run and one stolen base as the Scarlet
Raiders won for the fourth time.
Rutgers-Newark athletics photo
Rutgers-Newark improved to 4-3 on the 2018 season with a thrilling 6-4 10-inning win at Occidental College in Los Angeles. Senior Adam Tricarico singled with one out in the 10th, moved to second on a groundout and came around to score on a big-time double off the bat of senior Anthony Perconte with two outs. Junior Luke Magliaro followed with a double of his own to plate Perconte for some insurance, and sophomore hurler Michael Katims struck out two in a perfect final inning of work to lock up the victory.
Alma met with the Panthers of Hanover at the Grand Park Sports Campus for Alma's first doubleheader of the season. Sophomore Josh Riggs pitched a complete game, striking out eight while only allowing two hits as the Scots defeated Hanover, 2-0, in game one. Sophomores Max Trucks and Vann Acker were each responsible for a game-winning RBI. Acker's came as part of a two-run eighth inning to secure game two, 3-1.
Case Western Reserve scored 16 runs in the final four innings, including 12 in the ninth inning alone, to overcome a pair of one-run deficits and defeat Trinity (Conn.) 16-8 at the Spartan Southern Classic at Lexington County Stadium in Lexington, South Carolina. The Spartans registered a season-high 16 runs and 17 hits, while five CWRU pitchers combined to hold the Bantams to just six hits in the game. CWRU's top-four hitters in the lineup combined to go 11-for-18 with 11 runs scored and four runs batted in, including a four-for-six game with from junior left fielder Jacob Pestel, and a two-for-four performance with three runs, three RBIs and a double for junior third baseman Jacob Kucia.
Endicott opened up their seven-game schedule against SCIAC opponents with a doubleheader sweep of La Verne by capturing 6-4 and 11-8 victories at La Verne's Ben Hines Field. In their first of a seven-game schedule in Southern California, Endicott got a strong start from senior left-handed starter Will Ferreira and RBIs from five different hitters in the lineup as the Gulls handed La Verne a 6-4 loss in game one of their doubleheader. Game two saw Endicott and La Verne combine for 19 runs and 22 hits, but an eight-run top of the fourth inning helped catapult the Gulls to complete the doubleheader sweep of the Leopards. This was the first meeting between Endicott and La Verne in either program's history.

cycle in Keene State's win over Stockton on

David Sevigny went 3-for-5 with two RBI and tossed two innings of relief as Keene State kicked off their Spring Break trip to Florida with an 8-4 win over Stockton. The Owls also got strong days at the plate from Devin Springfield, who went 3-for-5 with an inside-the-park home run, a triple, and three RBI. Abe Grainger and Nate Rossi each had a pair of hits.
Scranton fell behind early and could not mount a rally in a 12-6 loss to Hood during the team's spring break trip. Hood (10-0) scored three runs in the second inning and four more in the top of the third for a 7-1 lead. Scranton (2-2) fought back with three in the bottom of the third to cut the deficit to 7-4, but the Blazers took command with a four-run sixth inning. The Royals were led by freshman left fielder Connor Harding, who singled twice, drove in three and scored a run. Senior second baseman Patrick Mergel doubled twice, drove in a run and scored a run.
The University of Dallas picked up its second doubleheader sweep in consecutive weekends and have won four-of-five contests after defeating Blackburn in a pair of seven-inning finals. Dallas took an early lead in game one thanks to a couple defensive miscues, and would break the game open with a six-run 6th. Seth Hanson highlighted the outburst with a three-run homer to left field. In game two, the Crusaders responded to a 5-3 deficit in the 5th by immediately tying things. In the sixth, the home squad turned the momentum for good with back-to-back RBI doubles by Josh Abalos and Nathan Patton. Jordan Stickler – who reached base in every plate appearance in the twinbill – hustled from first base on the go-ahead run.
Oglethorpe won, 11-10, over the homestanding Centre Colonels, taking 2-of-3 from the home team in a wild series in Danville, Kentucky. The Stormy Petrels came back from being down 9-6 in the seventh inning to take the lead, then scored the game-winning run in the eighth inning off an RBI single from senior left fielder Britton Araujo after Centre had tied the game again in the seventh. With the victory, the Petrels improved to 13-6 on the season overall and 4-2 in SAA play.
Willamette outhit Whitman 9-6, but the Bearcats couldn't string the hits together, as the Blues won a pitchers' duel 5-1 at Borleske Field. Whitman held a 2-1 lead after four innings and maintained its slim advantage until the Blues used three hits to score three runs in the bottom of the eighth. Whitman advanced its record to 6-11 on the season, 2-4 in the NWC. Willamette dropped to 9-11 overall, 5-7 in the NWC. The Blues won the three-game series, 2-1.

Having a large number of city people living in condos, with no possibility to grill outdoors, Raichlen's most up-to-date book, "Indoor! Grilling" covers a topic of high interest, especially that grilling is a tradition in the us, some type of a national tradition. This theme surely relieves a whole lot of frustration for the part of audience that was previously left out!
Steven Raichlen is a cooking teacher, lecturer, writer, journalist and TV host. He also founded the Caribbean cooking school Cooking in Paradise. Raichlen's TV series, Barbecue University surfaced in 2003 on public tv. The identical season he was appointed the "cooking instructor of the year" from Bon Appetit magazine.
Launched in a "marathon conflict" on Western tv and beating Iron Chef Roksbura Michiba brought him nicknames like the "Michael Jordan of Barbecue", since Howard Stern called him orher such as Oprah set it, the more "Gladiator of Grilling".
Raichlen released over 25 novels of that best-sellers like Barbecue Bible Sauces, Rubs, and Marinades, Beer Can Chicken, Healthy Latin Cooking, Miami Spice, Big Flavor Cookbook along with also the famous first and foremost publication on Miami, The Barbecue Bible, which emerged in 1998. This was the very first manual on grilling, a research of barbecuing across the world plus a path on live flame cooking methods. His composing won three IACP awards along with 4 James Beard awards and has been translated into ten distinct languages.
To compose "Indoor! Grilling" Raichlen intensively analyzed these appliances and also the method to cook with them. Even though the people of the class is familiarized with all the various kinds of indoor grills, even Raichlen handled them in a thorough fashion, beginning from the very start, from signature grill, grill pan, built-in grill to shuttle and fireplace grill. And to do so, he mostly improved his understanding about how indoor grills really get the job done. He analyzed the 270 recipes from the book on every form of grill.If you are doing grill at high level then you should try best propane grills under 300
What actually takes grilling measures farther is exactly what the experimentation Raichlen does with cakes, desserts and vegetables from the meals section.

Personal Training - If you have never thought about personal training until now, here's what you can except when working with me. Along with being able to communicate tons of great fitness knowledge, having a friendly and positive personality is a must to be a great trainer. Whether you want to know the specifics of your program or just be told how to accomplish your goals, both require communication in a personal way. For some, sensitive issues come into play, so high respect and confidentiality is a must. I believe exercising creates a natural balance for your life. My goal with you is to bring a level of understanding, enthusiasm, and accountability at whatever level you are at.
Weight Management - Managing weight is an essential aspect to exercising. Once you are at a weight that is healthy and you're happy with, you are then able to start making choices that will not dramatically affect your body. My goal will be to teach you how your body works, so you will be able to take responsibility for it and have those choices fit into your lifestyle. Because of our current obesity epidemic, weight can be tricky to balance in today's world, so remember, managing weight should always be a lifestyle.
Posture Correction - This is one of the most important topics I address with clients. Posture affects so many variables within exercise that I strive to address it consistently with clients. Your body has an amazing ability to remember movements you do correctly...and incorrectly; therefore, when we train we want to counteract what your body will already do, as well as, what it needs to improve on. It is imperative that I keep this concept active as we train because the ramifications of improper movements can affect your goals and lead to further help from healthcare providers; costing you additional energy and resources long-term.
Nutritional Counseling - I always welcome the chance to talk about food and nutrition. I teach my clients how different foods affect the body and how many calories to intake daily. I do this by taking clients to the grocery store, going through their choices, and teaching them how to make any necessary changes along the way. Alternative nutritional changes such as fasts or fad diets are becoming more popular everyday. However, I believe making balanced food choices promotes an optimal lifestyle.
Sport Specific Training - As my short biography stated, my life has been filled with sports; this has helped make me an exceptional trainer and student of the body. Due to my athleticism I am able to adjust myself accordingly to my client's ability levels, high or low. I believe if clients strive to maximize their athletic potential in areas of interest (i.e. snowboarding, biking, swimming etc.), the confidence and freedom they can obtain will change there life. I have seen this happen many times over.

"Director General of Anti-Dumping and Allied Duties (DGAD) is examining petitions for initiation of anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duty investigations on imports of bus and truck radial tyres from China," Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in written reply to Lok Sabha.
Moreover, customs field formations have been instructed to enforce Pneumatic tyres and Tubes for automotive vehicles (quality control) order 2009, strictly to restrict import of tyres without BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) marking, she added.
Automotive Tyre Manufacturers Association (ATMA) had requested putting import of truck bus radial tyres in the restricted list, prohibiting import of tyres without BIS marking, commencing investigations on dumping of tyres from China and increasing customs duty on tyres.
Currently, the import of tyres in India is subject to Pneumatic Tyres and Tubes for Automotive Vehicles (Quality Control) Order, 2009, and BIS standards.

2006 Prius Pricing and Options Announced
Toyota has released details on the changes in the 2006 Prius hybrid car. First of all, the MSRP will increase by $475, or 2.1%, to $21,725. The car will now include many new standard features and options, such as an audio package that includes MP3 player support and a mini-jack port, standard Tire Pressure Monitoring system as well as sensors that detect the size of the front seat occupants to determine whether or not to deploy the airbag. The headlights and taillights have been restyled and there's a front lip spoiler. Optional leather seating and a leather-wrapped steering wheel (not a very treehugger option...) are now available. Also new is the optional rear view camera and an upgraded GPS DVD navigation package that can now be used with voice-recognition while the Prius is in motion. Photos below.

Rosatom are the makers of Kudankulam Nuclear Power in India. Unit 1 and 2 are complete, while the construction of 3rd and 4th unit is underway. The company hopes to get started with building the final two power units by end of this year.
According to South Asia CEO Alexey Pimenov, the worldwide creation of regional centres' network was due to expansion of Rosatom's global presence and a long-term development strategy, according to which the purpose of the company for the next ten years was to increase the portfolio of foreign orders up to $150 billion.
Similar regional centres of Rosatom had already been opened in Western, Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, Central Asia, East and South-East Asia, the Middle East and North Africa.
Andrei Zhiltov, consul general of the Russian Federation in Mumbai, said he hopes to get a new plot of land to build a new nuclear project in one to two years.
"Indian market is booming and there is space for everyone. We would like to continue to build," said Zhiltov. "Serial production of units brings down cost as one does not have to move equipment and personnel. We don't want interruptions."

In the presidential debate, on one side of the rope you have an out of touch, narcissistic and ill-prepared billionaire who many Americans fear because of his lack of transparency and resistance to provide solutions for the issues. On the other side you have a grounded, well-prepared career politician who many Americans mistruct because of her lack of transparency and disingenuous outreach among minority groups.
Then there's the middle - the knot. This is the one place that each side has access to but has to exert more than the other side to obtain.
Therein lies the people - the voters. This is where the heart of America rests with millennials, immigrants ,minorities ,law enforcement, social justice movements, unemployed, underemployed, wealthy and the impoverished.
So who wins?
According to Donald Trump, the key to improving employment is to stop jobs from leaving. How does he plan to prevent that? According to Donald Trump, "African Americans are being decimated by crime in the inner city." This was the wrong turn number one; inner city to any African American is synonymous for "ghetto" or "the projects." I guess he forgot that Trayvon Martin lost his life in a gated community with a neighborhood watch.
Trump was also quoted as saying "I'm talking about talking guns away from gangs and the people who use them." I think it's safe to say the gangs he's referring to are likely along the lines of crips, bloods ,gangster disciples, or vice lords. Yet nearly anyone affected by gun violence will tell you that the police are the biggest gang there is.
Donald Trump says he has a better temperament than Hillary Clinton. As defined by Dictionary.com the meaning of temperament is "the combination of mental,physical,and emotional traits of a person." This coming from a spacey, temperamental (see how I did that) man who had his health reviewed by a doctor that administered tests with nothing but "positive" results.
Then there's Hillary
According to Hillary Clinton, she plans to create good jobs with rising incomes, raise the national minimum wage, and enact family leave. These are things American families have long waited to hear. Unlike Trump, Hillary has a plan for fighting ISIS, thereby offering a solution. Trump has yet to provide a solution for anything. According to Hillary she believes in community policing. This resonates well among targeted minority groups and social justice groups. This is also why the Fraternal Order of Police has endorsed Donald Trump over her.
As quoted by Hillary Clinton "If you're too dangerous to fly, you're too dangerous to own a gun." That may have been the one issue synonymous with everyone except your resident no fly list registered gun owner.
Let's look stamina.
TRUMP:"She has no stamina."
CLINTON: "As soon as he travels to 112 countries and negotiates a peace deal,a cease-fire,a release of dissonance,an opening of new opportunities in nations around the world or even spends 11 hours testifying in front of a Congressional committee,he can talk to me."
The internet contender
Even if you're not sure who won the event tonight, let me introduce another contender: The Internet. Here's seven people who won the internet:
- @TichinaArnold "I think the Donald needed the other half of that Xanax.Bless his heart."
- @ShondaRhimes "He is so full of it that I am truly concerned.I think his head might puff up and pop off."
- @ShaunKing "What the hell?Donald just said Hillary has been fighting ISIS her entire adult life.She's been an adult since 1965."
- Melissa Berretta "Trump's been flying in expensive planes his whole life.Just as long as Clinton has been fighting ISIS."
- @HillaryClinton "A man who can be provoked by a tweet should not have his hands anywhere near the nuclear codes."
- @NickCannon "Bars!!! You know what else I prepared for…to be President Of The United States! (flips the podium and drops the mic) LOL"
Maybe you watched a debate but I saw a tug-o-war.
Who won you over?

It's been a while, too busy. Students staying, old friend visiting from New Zealand, 11+ exam results for my first born. Why is life so busy all the time?
This week was half term and I took the week off work to juts be with my kids and chill out. It's been amazing. I actually feel like I've had a break from everything. The kids are relaxed and happy and ready for school tomorrow.
So following on from my spiritual awakening, I am definitely looking through a different lens at life these days. The ability to say "no" to people without hurting their feelings seems to be a new super power I have developed this month. My ability to listen has improved, not talking over people so much which is how I used to be.
The most notable thing I've observed is myself and how I look and feel at all times. I'm listening to what my body is telling me. For the last couple of years, I've had a very red nose and I wear makeup daily so hide it and so long as I can hide it, it's been fine. But I finally realised that I need to find out what is causing this and eliminate it so that I can wake up and look normal for a change. My husband said he doesn't notice it, but it's the first thing I see when I go to the bathroom so he must be lying to make me feel better. (HE has mastered the art of not hurting someone feelings some time ago). What is more alarming for me though is that my youngest son is 8 and he notices everything and he reacts to his body and it's fatigue, or aching or discomfort and has been regularly telling me and I've been telling him it's growing pains…but it's not. He is also highly sensitive to the world and notices how his body feels and isn't ignoring it. I looked back at my childhood and realised that I was the same kid. The one that always screamed at the slightest pain but by the teen years, was breaking her arm and her nose and her finger playing competitive sport and not even wincing. I had dulled my physical pain because of a lack a parental support. I'd conditioned myself not to feel things. I realised, sadly, that this is what I had been doing with my son. Poo-pooing his complaints and not taking him seriously. Now I know differently, I need to reverse the damage.He's only 8, so I hope I can repair some of it.
The importance of the right parental guidance cannot be stressed enough at this juncture. I didn't realise what a mess you can make of parenting without even trying, just from your own conditionings.
I watched SPlit last night with James McAvoy and was terrified and also curious about how much damage a mother can do to her child. I think this is where my train of thought came from today!
Namaste people

You live in the desert (within a UN designated reserve area), own WMD's, have a beard and dance with cows. LOL of course you are being watched.....really the plane has Texas Air National Guard markings so they're just getting some weekend stick time.

does appear to be visiting from KDYS, southwest of Abilene - 40th Airlift Squadron "Screaming Eagles" (C-130H/J) ("Dyess" Blue tail stripe) - C-130J "Super" Hercules sporting the 6 blade prop. Doesn't need to be an AC to be lethal - see the Harvest Hawk:

Dyess could be the source of B-1Bs that overfly you too. Carl will need a bunker... some of those things probably have XX pilots, who would take a dim view of being pecked from below... and there would be collateral damage.
- February 17, 2013 at 1:36 AM
- remmij said...
guess it could be the 39th Airlift Squadron (39 AS) - Trailblazers - United States Air Force unit, also based at Dyess Air Force Base, Abilene, Texas. I don't know how to tell them apart from the photo.
btw, Dale's comment was pretty funny - DHS will probably cut&paste that description into their threat assessment profile - any cross species dancing will be suspect.

text: Although Kaplan has declared, "I prefer my subjects dead," such as Dickens (1988) and Henry James (1992), he more than rises to the task in this lively biography of the prolific, controversial author. Vidal's own anecdotal, rather pitiless memoir, Palimpsest (1995), covered a little over halfway through his life, having beaten one failed biographic attempt, and left many wanting more. Kaplan delivers a volume almost as long as his The Essential Gore Vidal (1999) and longer than his previous well-received efforts. With Kaplan's near-total access to Vidal's papers, reams of interviews, and assured editorial independence, Vidal's privileged Washingtonian background and ever-changing literary career, plus his talent for literary blood sports, make him as natural and fascinating a subject for a biography as for headlines. Grandson of Oklahoma's first senator and son of a Roosevelt cabinet director, Eugene Luther Gore Vidal Jr. showed little promise despite exclusive schooling, had a noncombatant tour of duty in WWII, and then immediately succeeded with his first novel, Williwaw. In Vidal's metamorphosis from promising young writer to perennial enfant terrible, only a few holes arise here and there, such as his breaking off an engagement with his high school sweetheart and his depression after the mixed reception of his third novel. Kaplan's talent for setting social milieus keeps up with the innumerable names that drop in and out of Vidal's life (including Tennessee Williams, Anaãs Nin, Paul Bowles, and Paul Newman, to name just a few), though he refrains from assessing in depth Vidal's place in the assorted creative scenes in which he figured so prominently, such as playwriting, screenwriting, the bestseller, and the polemical essay. While frank about Vidal's homosexuality, Kaplan tastefully avoids psychologizing, though the psychodramas of Vidal's relationship with his narcissistic mother and his feuds with William F. Buckley Jr., Truman Capote, and Norman Mailer are juicily tempting. A rich chronicle of a celebrated career not yet in past tense. (50 b&w photos, not seen)

Skyrim DLC Teased
Skyrim's soon to be unveiled DLC now has a name: Dawnguard. This teaser image is, as of this writing, the only available information on the DLC. That said, this elusive content pack is purportedly further along in development than we may think, and is slated to be released sometime this summer. Dawnguard will be a timed exclusive on the Xbox 360.
Expect further information, up to and including a full reveal, at E3 next month.

In a series of patriotic and cultural observances, the Midlands is commemorating the three-pronged 75th anniversary of related historic events: Pearl Harbor, the opening of Columbia Army Air Base, and the Doolittle Raid.
This calendar year the world recalls that 75 years ago Imperial Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. That Dec. 7, 1941, called a Day of Infamy by US President Franklin D. Roosevelt, pushed laborers, engineers and inspectors to speed up completion of what, during its hurried development, had been called Lexington County Airfield.
The civilian airfield was part of a federal initiative to establish a network of strategically-placed airfields around the nation. It opened several days earlier than scheduled and was quickly militarized.
An observation group that had been flying out of (then) Owens Field, patrolling the South Carolina coast for German submarines, became the base's first personnel. In April 1942 the named changed to Columbia Army Air Base (CAAB,) and was designated as a B-25 bomber training center.
Early in 1942, airmen from Pendleton AFB were ordered to fly their B-25s from Oregon to CAAB. Soon they were greeted by Lt. Col. James "Jimmy" Doolittle who had arrived in the Midlands to recruit volunteers for a top-secret mission.
Training for those selected crews only continued at CAAB for a few weeks, then they transferred to Eglin AFB, FLA, and, ultimately on to California where, in early April, they – along with the B-25s – were loaded onto the aircraft carrier, USS Hornet.
On April 18, 1942, 16 planes launched from the deck of that carrier, and carried fiery retribution to the industrial areas of Tokyo. Loss of men and airplanes were deeply-felt casualties; however, the audacious Doolittle Raid positively altered American morale.
The commemorative series has begun.
Among the first events was a presentation held at Hamilton-Owens Airport recently when the South Carolina Historic Aviation Foundation (SCHAF) hosted Martin Crouch, son of Horace "Sally" Crouch, the only Columbian to fly on the fabled mission. Martin Crouch spoke to a rapt audience about his father and the Doolittle Raiders.
The Lexington Chronicle is running a series of articles about various aspects of the opening of CAAB, the involvement of Lake Murray in the training of crews stationed at CAAB, and the locals reactions to the overall operation.
The first of a series of historic Lake Murray cruises ran Saturday, Feb. 25. According to Ken Colton, "the Lake Murray Chamber of Commerce is partnering with Lake Murray Cruises to provide 15 history cruises to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the aviation training over Lake Murray and the Doolittle Raid."
Colton said the 2 1/2 hour cruises departing from Hollow Creek Marina, Leesville, SC, also are focusing on Shull Island, the air base in Lexington County (CAAB,) and the B-25 removed from Lake Murray in 2005. That Mitchell bomber, whose crew was attached to CAAB, ditched into the lake on a routine training mission April 4, 1943.
To date, cruises announced are: Sunday, March 12, 5:30 pm; Sunday, March 26, 12:30 pm; Saturday, April 8, 11:30 am.; and Saturday, April 29, 5:30 pm. Colton said other cruises will be scheduled through the summer.
To reserve passage, go to lakemurraycruises.com. Click "Public" in the header menu.
Thursday, April 6, additional emphasis of Lake Murray's significance in the commemoration will take place at Crooked Creek Park, Irmo Chapin Recreation Commission, 1098 Old Lexington Highway, Chapin, SC 29036.
At 7:30 am, the Chapin Sunrise Rotary Club will hear Richard Peterson whose family was involved in multiple aspects of this history. Programming for students will be presented throughout the day. At 10:30 am the Senior Lunch Bunch will have a presentation by Rachel Haynie, author of: "Stalled," a novel that opens with a B-25 ditching into Lake Murray, as well as "Cornfield to Airfield: A History of Columbia Army Air Base." Randall Shealy, revered local historian, will have tables of artifacts set up in the lobby and will discuss Lake Murray history.
Saturday, April 8 SCHAF will dedicate its Second Saturday Open House, 10 am and noon, to programming on the Doolittle Raid between 10 am and noon at the hangar closest to the Hamilton Owens Airport Terminal.
Saturday, April 8 is also History Day at the South Carolina State Museum (SCSM.) Ron Shelton, SCHAF education vice president and SCSM science curator emeritus will greet visitors at 1 pm on the museum's third level at the model of the USS Hornet. Shelton will talk about the 16 B-25s and crews that trained at CAAB and launched from the deck of the Hornet that fateful April day to make their audacious run to Japan. Normal Museum admission rates apply.
Tuesday, April 18, the date on which the raid took place in 1942, will be highlighted by a Lourie Center dance and concert with music by the Capital City Big Band, directed by Dick Goodwin. Tickets are $10; for more information go to www.louriecentersc.com.
Monday, April 24, during a 6 pm meeting of the Dutch Fork Historical Society, Chapin Library, 212 S. Lake Drive, Lexington (803-785-2600,) Kay Gordon will recount her recollections and engagement with the rescue of the Lake Murray Bomber and her story published in Air & Space Magazine Free, open to public.
Friday, June 2, noon, James Scott, the author of "Target Tokyo," will speak as part of the SC Confederate Relic Room and History Museum's Lunch and Learn series. Scott also will sign copies of his critically-acclaimed book. Free, open to public.
Other cultural organizations are encouraged to include any related events to this open commemoration by listing their events in local calendars.
