PDGA: The Results of Disc Golfs Snow Blown II in Rockport, Illinois
By K.C. Dermody, Yahoo! Contributor Network
Dec 13, 4:21 pm EST
The Snow Blown II took place in Rockport, Illinois at the Trinity Links Disc Golf Course on Saturday, December 10, 2011. The course has a wide variety of holes and is moderately wooded with flat terrain, including some great water holes. This PDGA sanctioned C-Tier event had 26 disc golfers in the competition, and it was Allen Hermosillo of Blue Island, Illinois, who was crowned champion of the Open division with a score of 9-under par.
This was Hermosillo's 40th tournament of the year, and he's had several wins, including the Illinois State Disc Golf Championships, the Iron Lion Open, the South Bend Clover Classic and the HOMIE Fall Celebration.
Following Hermosillo in second place, was Tom Matesevac of Minooka, Illinois, with a score of 5-under par. Matesevac has played in quite a few events in 2011 himself, and has had several victories, including the Mokena Big D Doubles and the BNDGC First Flight.
In a tie for third place, was Chris Brenholtz of Downers Grove, Illinois and Clayton Drake of Metropolis, Illinois, both scoring 3-under par. Brenholtz had a win at the Whet Up or Shut Up Throwdown in June, and Drake had a second place finish just behind Brenoltz in the same tournament, and a win in the Advanced division at the Bowling Green Blast in March.
Bryan Marcott of New Lenox, Illinois, took fifth place with a score of 1-under par. He had a win back in April at the Spring Opener. Finally, it was Matt Coyne of Plainfield, Illinois in sixth place with a score of 9-over par.
Aaron Scott of Yorkville, Illinois was the winner of the Advanced division, scoring 3-under par. Scott had a second place finish in the same division at the Fox Valley Metro Invitational in September. Randy Moore of Oswego, Illinois followed Scott in second place, with a score of 1-under par, and at third place in the Advanced division was Jon Boster of Joliet, Illinois, scoring 1-over par.
The Intermediate division win went to Aaron Meyer of Kaukauna, Wisconsin, with a score of 2-under par, and Jason Rocks of Woodridge, Illinois, followed at just a stroke behind, with a score of 1-under par, while Eric Willhite of Glen Ellyn had a third place finish, scoring 3-over par.
The Recreational division win went to James LoPresti of Homer Glen, Illinois with a score of 1-under par. LoPresti had a win in the Novice division at the Joliet Disc Golf Championship in October.
Congratulations to all the winners and competitors on a great game of disc golf!

Yeah, and LoPresti won the Rec division with a 921 player rating from November. In fact all of his rated rounds are over 900.

That was James LoPresti's third PDGA tournament ever and the rating system does not hold true until you have finished four full tournaments. dropping the lowest rated round and highest rated round. The next tournament he will be playing Intermediate if his rating holds up. Also until the official results are in and updated since rec and Intermediate played two rounds from the shorts the ratings will be a little obscured. According to the PDGA guidelines everyone played in the correct division or I would have heard about it from Marcy the Hammer at the PDGA office.

I just saw this. Thor, your comments about the rating system are not accurate. There is no minimum number of tournaments, high rated rounds are never dropped, and unfortunately the PDGA office does nothing if someone plays in the wrong division unless some complains about it. LoPresti was rated 921 as of 11/22/11. If he was allowed to play Rec at your tournament, that was a mistake and should not have occurred.
While the TD is generally held responsible by the players to enforce division guidelines and a good TD does his best to enforce them to keep his players happy, the responsibility for a player playing in the correct division rests solely on the player's shoulders (see the competition manual section 2.1). If someone complains to the PDGA about a player playing in the wrong division, it is will be the player that receives the disciplinary action.

Generally what you said would be correct but because he just signed up for the PDGA and that was his first tournament as a PDGA member he can play what ever division he wishes. You are right the TD should monitor that and I did, I asked the question and the response I put down was the answer I got. I am not gonna defend that answer because every time you ask a question you tend to get a different answer, but that is what I was told and that is why I let him play that division. now that he is a full member though he will be required to play in the division his rating has him at. during the round I looked up every player and if they are current or not and he was the only one out of his division with his rating. But I asked the guy at the PDGA number on Friday and that was the answer I got. It was the first time this situation ever presented itself at a tournament I ran and I just went with the answer I was given. I am not trying to sound offense if this seems like I am arguing and that could have been 100% the wrong decision but I didn't know what else to do besides ask. I will absolutely keep this in the back of my head in the future and make sure I ask several different people the correct way to play it out. It was a local tournament thrown together at the last minute for some last chance points and I believe that was James 3rd tournament ever and the first as a PDGA member.. unless the Joliet Championships counts when he signed up and played rec with a 900 plus players rating. I guess I just followed suit but I did ask and it did not go unnoticed. I appreciate your input though, you have been around a lot longer then me and am always looking to do things right.

this was also included in an email I got from the PDGA about ratings... and to answer the question of they don't drop rounds.. they do but 1 out of every 50 or so
All rated rounds you have played and have been reported to the PDGA within 12 months of your most recently rated round will be included in the calculation. However, if any one of those ratings is either more than 100 points below your average rating or more than 2.5 standard deviations below your rating whichever number is smaller that round will not be included. That works out to about 1 in 50 rounds getting dropped. Rounds where you DNF (Do Not Finish) are never counted in your rating. The most recent 25% of your rounds get double weighted which slightly boosts your rating if you have been steadily improving. If a player has fewer than 8 rounds in the past 12 months, since their most recent round, then well go back up to another 12 months until we find up to 8 rounds but never go back any farther than a total of 24 months.
if you can make sense of that... but again I am not trying to argue and I was also informed by a man sitting next to me who has been running touranemnts for 20 years to not defend my decision but make sure I learn from it... which I already have... thanks again for your input because it forces me to really research the rules and learn from my mistakes

Knowing how much work it is to TD events (and do them well), my intention is not to give you grief or criticize your decisions. I'm merely want to help educate and make sure misinformation is not floating out there.
btw The rating stuff I can make sense of, but that is because I've been following this for years back when more of the tidbits of the rating system were public.
Thanks for expending the effort to put on events. It's not an easy job.

When I'm really looking for daily inspiration, I turn to the runways. Runway fashion is so extravagant and artsy. It takes my fashion imagination for a ride and tests my boundaries. With that said, runway fashion is nearly impossible to get your hands on. I definitely don't have that kind of money and, even if I did, I am not as bold as the models who strut their stuff in Valentino gowns. So I took to the runways for inspiration to pull together some wearable, and doable, Spring/Summer looks. P.S. Everything is under $100 on Asos.com… yayy!

"From the way we make our products to how we run the company, we're committed to restoring the environment. Consumers expect this from us, employees demand it, and the planet requires it."
This is a very honourable statement from Chip Bergh, President and CEO of Levi Strauss and Co, the producer of the very famous Levi's jeans.
No doubt good intentions were behind the statement, but the reality is that popular fashion brands like Levi's are directly linked to the use and discharge of hazardous chemicals into Mexican rivers.
San Pedro River Pollution © Guadalupe Szymanski / Greenpeace
Lavamex, one of the facilities whose discharges were sampled, is almost exclusively involved in the dyeing and washing of denim and it is already known locally for its pollution. The discharge pipe run 24 hours a day, every day of the year, spewing forth a river of blue wastewater. Lavamex uses a wastewater treatment facility to treat these discharges, but many toxic chemicals survive this process, as the samples prove.
How can a company like Levi's, who has made such a public statement in support of protecting the environment, be directly linked to such brazen toxic pollution?
Sadly, it's easy to explain. In Mexico, the manufacturing industry and the government keep the use and discharge of toxic chemicals very secret. Right now, industry is not required to inform the public of the chemicals it uses and releases. Information on industrial discharge, even when being investigated by the government itself, is very often considered confidential information. Anyone who wants access to this will have to go through a frustrating and complex official request process. Meanwhile the discharge pipes continue to gush day and night into Mexican rivers.
Conflicts between local residents and manufacturing facilities such as Lavamex and Kaltex have happened many times in Mexico, but the pollution continues. In one case a federal representative to Mexico's Congress proposed an investigation of industrial pollution from the Kaltex facility into the San Juan del Río. Despite the alarming pollution described in his proposal nothing happened. The representative concluded: "these companies have become untouchable, despite the risk to the environment."
Mexico is one of the largest denim producers in the world, and the textile and apparel industry is the fourth largest industry in the country. Although its exports were dwarfed by China for many years, since 2010 its share of the market has grown rapidly – driven in part by its proximity to the US. The growth has also been fueled by a global demand for "fast fashion": where many fashion brands respond quickly to changing trends and produce eight or more collections in a year, meaning more new clothes and more hazardous chemicals.
San Juan River Pollution © Guadalupe Szymanski / Greenpeace
Time for brands to walk the walk
There is a sad irony in the fact that companies like Levi's, who say they are devoted to making us feel good about our appearance, are in fact leaving behind an ugly toxic trail in the places where their clothes are manufactured. Levi's isn't alone in driving the toxic fashion trend, other brands that have recently been using suppliers in the same area of Mexico are Guess, Tommy Hilfiger, Express, Calvin Klein, Paris Blues and American Eagle Outfitters.
Many of these other brands make similar positive statements about their dedication to respecting the environment. Now they have a chance to put their money where their mouth is. Global brands like Levi's have the power and influence to play a positive role in the industry in Mexico.
Around the world, more and more consumers, activists and fashionistas are uniting behind the idea that the clothes we buy should carry a story we can be proud of, not the residues of hazardous chemicals.
Brands can end the secrecy by insisting their suppliers publicly divulge what chemicals are being discharged and by committing their brand and their supply chain to zero discharge of hazardous chemicals. We are asking Levi's to stand by its honourable statement, act on the problem of toxic discharge and rise to the challenge of Detoxing its fashion.
Now is Levi's time
Thanks to people like you, we were able to convince Zara, the world's largest retailer, to commit to work with its suppliers and take action to end its addiction to hazardous chemicals.
Levi's, the world's biggest jeans producer, has yet to make a credible commitment to clean up its toxic habit or make public a plan for how it will work with its suppliers to release their pollution data.
Levi's can change this, and it will if enough of us make our voices heard.
Join the campaign, and let's give Levi's 501,000 reasons to #GoForth and Detox!

Dear GreenSavior,
I am pretty sure I answered this question of your about a week ago in another blog, but I guess as our most prolific commenter, it might be hard to keep track of what you wrote and where.
So: You can't buy a GP t-shirt nowadays, and the reasons for that are outlined here: http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/toxics/water/detox/intro/Our-Textile-Policy/ I'm sure you can find fantastic presents for your friends and family nonetheless. If not, may I suggest that instead of physical gifts you make a donation to a charity of their choice in their name? Some people did that for me last year and I found it very thoughtful.

Dear JuilietteH, my favorite digital mobilisation specialist...
sorry, was not me, I am not into clothing, therefor not too much into detox...but since you claim victories on a daily basis I have to kind of think about it!
...but if I got you right you just told me that Greenpeace has sold toxic clothing for decades, correct? This although you claimed your clothes to be toxic free and checked by some kind of Swedish Intstitue...correct?
If Zara does it, and Levis does it, then Greenpeace can do it aswell.
Daniel Mittler was just blogging about absurdities...Greenpeace is telling Greenpeace to detox...this is a good one, besides the fact clothing industry is signing almost everything nowadays as soon as you connect them to cheap labour and environmental dumping in countries like Bangladesh...because they cant afford bad publicity.
What great victories Greenpeace is achieving here, wow, amazing how day by day a giant of clothing industry is being kicked down by by our honorable Rainbow Warriors.
Sun Wu, godfather of the Rainbow Warrior III
PS: by the way: what are your ships doing...what has my Rainbow Warrior been doing since I baptized her more than on year ago. If I remember correctly there was one anchor chain blogged in Brasil...now it RW is on a sight-seeing tour to NZ...but good you tell Greenpeace to detox!!!

Thanks for a really great post Pierre, and congratulations to you all. Congratulations too, for following through and actively persuing the rest of these companies. To me it shows Greenpeace is the world's cutting edge organization, saving our earth and the people on it. Countless thousands, perhaps millions will now with certainty, be spared an early and horrific death from cancer. Perhaps it would have been our own mother, sister, or a close friend. If it wasn't for you and your brilliant team, who would ever know, or care. Wonderful campaign, ...BRAVO!!!

I'm trying to connect my desktop and laptop using an ethernet connection. I usually configure network from the command line but this time I decided to give Network Manager a try, so I went to Network Connections, and selected manual IP configuration.
At first I left the default gateway field blank, since I don't need a default gateway. Turned out network manager doesn't let me save the connection unless I enter that field, but entering a phony gateway messes up with my Internet connection. Anyway to do this setup?

Ring of Honor New Horizons PPV report.
New Horizons opened with ROH Tag Team champions The Age of the Fall in the ring. The announcers weren't sure they were on the air and said the champs weren't supposed to open the show. Jimmy Jacobs cut a promo saying that as the new Tag Team champions, it was a new dawn revolution. Jacobs said that they had the power now and thus weren't going to defend the belts, which upset the announcers. Jacobs said that while they have the power to spread their message, they also have the power to decree that they have no legitimate challengers. He said Mark Briscoe was hurt and Steen and Generico were nowhere to be found.
The Briscoes hit the ring and ran off the champs. Dave Prazak and Lenny Leonard said that the Briscoes weren't even supposed to be in Detroit due to Mark's wrist injury. The crowd chanted, "Man Up." Prazak entered the ring to get comments from the Briscoes, who challenged the Tag champs. The Age of the Fall teased hitting the ring, then tried to walk out. Austin Aries attacked Black and Jacobs and brawled to the back with them.
Prazak asked Mark Briscoe what he was doing here. He said he was ready to go and wanted his Tag Team titles back. Prazak said that it didn't look like the champs were coming back and segued to an opening video of highspots while they found "stand by" opponents for the Briscoes.
The Briscoes vs. Mitch Franklin & Silas Young
Jay Briscoe hits a Cactus clothesline out of the ring on Franklin. Young takes down Mark with a rolling Samoan Drop, then hits an Arabian Press. Jay hit the ring and kicked him in the mush. Franklin went for a dive but was caught and thrown off by the Briscoes. The Briscoes nailed a double Beel on Franklin. Young went for a springboard dive but was caught and hit with a suplex. The Briscoes nailed the Doomsday Device for the win. A completely entertaining squash to bring the Briscoes back to the forefront.
This led into a nice video feature on the Briscoes,
showing them on their farm and featuring them as old school country boy
rednecks, right down the rifles, beer and pitbull. Jay said that perhaps
they've gotten a little too flashy for the crowd, so they are going to go back
to their roots. He said they might hit some and miss some, but they are
going to get the job done. He noted the Age of the Fall claim they have a
revolution, but the Briscoes would show them how real men start a revolution,
then showed a shot of them firing rifles into the air. If you were a first
time viewer, you'd immediately get a sense of who the characters behind this
team was.
Ruckus vs. Delirious vs. Erick Stevens vs. Shane Hagadorn - Four Corner Survival
The typical fast paced back and forth style match you'd get out of ROH for this bout. Hagadorn, more or less a lackey for Adam Pearce, really seemed like odd man out here. They did a deal where he tried to leave like a coward once Stevens was stomping him but Delirious and Ruckus didn't let him. Hagadorn then did his Daniel Puder Royal Rumble impression as he was beaten by everyone else in the match. Ruckus nailed an awesome moonsault. In the end, Stevens killed Hagadorn with the Doctor Bomb. Solid for what it was designed to be with lots of action here.
Austin Aries hit the ring and said that everyone who's a wrestling fan knows about the old clichéd blood feud, but what's going on between him and Jacobs transcends a blood feud. ROH interspersed clips of the feud into the "live" promo. Aries said that after what Jacobs did to Lacey, this isn't about one man beating the hell out of the other, but about a level of emotional hatred so deep that most fans will never understand. Aries said that he and Jacobs want each other, so he was calling out Jacobs right now. Jacobs appeared in the aisle and slowly walked to the ring but Tyler Black attacked Aries from behind. Aries took out Black and turned his attention back to Jacobs. MsChif, billed as the SHIMMER Champion on screen, hit the ring and lowblowed Aries from behind. Jacobs hit the ring and The Age of the Fall worked over Aries. Jacobs pulled what appeared to be a wrench out from his tights and nailed Aries in the face with it, busting him open. A logo for the Age's website appeared. When we returned to live action, Jacobs was digging into a bloody Aries' mouth with the wrench. Several undercard wrestlers came out and dragged Aries out.
Hey, since the Briscoes wanted The Age of the Fall so bad they came all the way to Detroit, why didn't they just hit the ring and make the save?
As the Age of the Fall are in the ring, Kevin Steen comes out with a mic. The crowd chanted, "Mr. Wrestling." Steen said that they've shown the world how talented they are at 2 on 1 attacked. He asked when they are going to show the world how talented they are at tag team wrestling and asked when he and El Generico are getting their title shot. Jacobs said Steen thinks he deserves something, but all he does is whine and doesn't deserve anything. He said that Steen needs to prove himself. Steen said that he and Generico prove themselves on every PPV but if they want him to prove himself, he'll do it again by facing them both alone. Jacobs teased he was going to wrestle Steen, but Necro Butcher attacked Steen instead.
Necro Butcher vs. Kevin Steen
Necro beat Steen down on the outside, including nailing him with a guard rail. The announcers told the viewers they've been told this will be a sanctioned match as they were going to roll with it and it's now a No DQ match. Necro continued his assault as the announcers talked about Necro doing the Age of the Fall's dirty work. Steen was tossed into the railing but came back to nail him with the ring bell. Steen went to town on Necro on the outside. Necro began choking Steen with a t-shirt in the aisle. Steen caught Necro and hit a running over the shoulder powerslam on the entrance ramp.
Steen tosses Necro back in the ring, showered him with
punches and bit Necro on the forehead. Steen continued to work over Necro,
then locked in a Sharpshooter. Necro broke free and punched Steen with a
big right, sending him to the floor. Necro went for Steen but was nailed
with a chair on the floor. Steen positioned the chair and tossed Necro off
the apron through it. Steen dove off the top but Necro got his knees up.
Necro tossed several chairs in the ring and bulldogged Steen through one.
Steen came back and nailed a Michinoku Driver II through a chair for a near
fall. Steen hit his package piledriver, which looked brutal, for the pin.
Fun brawl. A great example of the type of performers who would most likely never get a WWE deal based on the current hiring standards and how short-sided those standards are based on how entertaining the brawl was.
Backstage, Adam Pearce mocked Brent Albright over the fireball Pearce threw in his face on the last PPV. Pearce said that he wasn't allowed to compete tonight and that was his penance and he was fine with that because he was the NWA champion. He said the NWA title was worth more than any measly pay ever could be. He said that he doesn't care about PPV or money, but about leaving a mark. He said he would leave a scar or a black heart and that's why Larry Sweeney came to him. He promised that Sweet N' Sour Inc. will forge New Horizons. He said that Albright knows all about it. As his promo ended, Sweeney called on the phone.
Chris Hero & Go Shiozaki (with Sweet N' Sour Inc.)
vs. Roderick Strong & Naomichi Marufuji
They showed clips of Davey Richards turning on Roderick Strong and noted that Sweeney sent Richards on tour in Japan. They said Marufuji was appearing courtesy of NOAH. Sweeney took the mic and said Sweet N' Sour is growing bigger and bigger. He said their newest client, Shiozaki, was happy with his representation and tried to get Marufuji to join his clientele. He offered his hand to Marufuji, who gave him the finger instead. Sweeney said he wouldn't allow his men to wrestle tonight and they all walked out, but former WWE and ECW star Lance Storm came out.
Storm said, "If I can be serious for a minute", and told Sweeney that unless he got past Lance, he wasn't going anywhere. Storm said he came to see the "best damn locker room in the business leave it all in the ring" and said he would stay at ringside to make sure Sweeney kept his nose out of the match. They showed clips of Bryan Danielson vs. Storm from a few years back to show he's no stranger to ROH.
Strong and Shiozaki began chopping the hell out of each other. Strong finally won the exchange with a leg lariat. ROH champ Nigel McGuinness popped up in the announcer's booth saying he was back due to all the demand for it. McGuinness said that as champion, he had decided he would be defending the belt next so he could then watch the rest of the PPV. Hero tagged in for a short time before tagged back out to Go. Strong and Marufuji nail a variation of the Backseat Boys' Dream Sequence. Hero tossed Roderick out of the ring but Lance Storm prevented him from being attacked.
Hero and Shiozaki continued to work over Strong in the corner. Strong finally fought off Go with chops and made the hot tag. Marufuji cleaned house but was nailed with a fisherman's buster. Marufuji came back to cut off Hero and went for a shiranumani (The Kendrick) but Hero blocked it. Strong nailed a Gutbuster on Hero and locked on an armbar but Go broke up the submission attempt. Marufuji superkicked Go. Hero nailed Marufuji with a roaring elbow but Strong tagged himself in and scored with a backbreaker for the pin. Another good match. Lots of fun back and forth athletic stuff here. Marufuji is the most crisp in-ring technician you haven't heard of.
Lance Storm raised the winners' hands. Larry Sweeney attacked Lance Storm as the others laid out Strong and Marufuji. Storm caught Sweeney in the Canadian Maple Leaf. ROH caught an awesome close-up of Sweeney's face. Hero nailed Storm with a roaring elbow, knocking him out. Sweet N' Sour Inc. stood over Storm and cackled.
DC Comics' The Unknown Soldier made his debut. No, wait, that's a bandaged Brent Albright. He said that he's not wrestling on the PPV because of Adam Pearce. He said Pearce threw a fireball in his face. Normally, when he comes home from a wrestling tour, his son runs up to give him a hug but this time his son ran away and asked what's wrong with his face. Albright said his seven month baby girl doesn't understand what's going on and cries while his wife wonders how they will pay their bills if the doctors won't let him wrestle. Albright promised that he was going to make Adam Pearce's face look exactly like his. The promo was OK but didn't seem to hit the emotional plateau you would think given he's talking about the effect of the attack on his family.
They went into a video feature on Claudio Castagnoli, talking about coming to America three years ago to live his dream. Castagnoli said he started from nothing to build his way up. He said Nigel McGuinness did the same thing but Claudio isn't someone with a dream - he's someone who's going to be the new champion. Like the Briscoes piece, a great insight into the character behind the athlete.
ROH champion Nigel McGuinness vs. Claudio Castagnoli
Dave Prazak gave a rundown of all the major names that
have put their names in the history books by becoming ROH champion, noting that
Claudio wants to do the same. They had Bobby Cruise do in-ring
introductions for each competitor, giving it a big-time fight feel.
Before I even go into any moves recap, I'll just state this bout is worth the $10 pricetag for the PPV itself as it's just an excellent start to finish top of the line wrestling clinic. After several minutes of great back and forth matwork and wrestling, they really kicked it into second gear. By the time Claudio kicked out Nigel's Tower of London finisher, the crowd popped huge, believing Claudio was on his way to getting the title. Just great stuff to watch unfold.
Late in the bout, Claudio nailed several finishers including his Ricola Bomb and his bicycle kick for near falls. McGuinness kept trying to rebound off the ropes for his jawbreaker lariat but Claudio ducked and snared him in the Giant Swing for another nearfall. In a lot of ways, Nigel is the most underappreciated top champion right now because most online fans are vocal about his work in negative ways but seem to ignore that in every title defense, the fans live totally believe the challenger has a shot at getting the belt. Isn't that what being a good "World" champ is about? It was for Ric Flair.
Castagnoli went to the top but Nigel nailed him.
Nigel went to clothesline Claudio off the turnbuckles while standing on them but
Claudio nailed an enziguiri while both were standing on the ropes. Never
seen that before! Castagnoli nailed a series of moves but Nigel kept
kicking up at the last second. At this point, the only criticism you could
make was that these guys were doing far too much and kicking out of it, but at
this point, that's the ROH style, for better or worse. Claudio went for
the Ricola Bomb again but Nigel blocked it. Nigel was caught going for the
Jawbreaker and Claudio finally hit the Ricole for a two count. They were
doing an awesome back and forth when Castagnoli kicked out of a rollup.
Nigel bounced backwards off the ropes and nailed a jawbreaker lariat for the pin
out of nowhere. That may be my favorite finish I've seen anywhere this
year. Great stuff here.
They plugged the ROH website.
Bryan Danielson vs. Tyler Black
They mentioned Danielson's last month, including appearing at AAA's Triplemania, the biggest event for Pro Wrestling NOAH and a win over Lance Cade in his WWE dark appearance, which was weird, but hey, if you can say one of your guys beat a pushed WWE performer, why not? I just wonder if some fans are so used to wrestling companies lying that they will believe it. The back story here was that Nigel won't give Danielson a title match again until he beats everyone that Nigel has beaten, so first up was Black, since ROH has been building him as a legitimate player and threat to the top names over the last several months.
Again, another insanely great match. If WWE put two matches of this caliber on any PPV, fans would be screaming it was show of the year immediately. McGuinness returned for commentary to scout the winner and was awesome at it. He ripped on the crowd chanting for Danielson to slap Black again, wondering why they won't do that for him when he hits a lariat.
Black locked in a sleeper but Danielson made his way back, then reversed it into a cross armbreaker. When Black struggled out, Danielson locked on a triangle. With the exception of William Regal, who doesn't get to work that style anymore, no one is more proficient in the fluid European mat-based wrestling style than Danielson. McGuinness got off a great line saying Black should tap because it was more important to save himself than win. Black fought his way out of it by struggling to lift Danielson up while still in the triangle and powerbombing him into the corner. The ropes snapped, which wasn't planned. The place went ballistic for it and the ropes snapping only added to the moment.
They went back and forth with exchanges of strikes but Black suplexed Danielson, then kicked him in the face while he was on his knees. Danielson kicked up. Black nailed a small package driver for another near fall. Back and forth strikes as the crowd exploded like they were having a unified orgasm. Danielson finally got the better of Black with a series of elbows to the face and the referee called it near 30 minutes. Insanely good is the best way to describe this one.
Jimmy Jacobs, who came to ringside during the main event, entered the ring to check on Black. The announcers ran down upcoming dates as Austin Aries, still bloody, hit the ring and attacked Jacobs. Jacobs and Aries brawled in the ring broken ring as the announcers wondered if the bout was official. Aries worked over Jacobs with a series of punches in the corner, then nailed him with a series of dropkicks in the corner. Jacobs went to the floor. Aries went for a dive but missed, hitting the railing. Jacobs placed Aries in a chair and returned to the ring for a dive but Aries evaded it.
They brawled in the crowd, which the cameras weren't really able to capture. The announcers said they they weren't prepared for this to go down, which was a nice cover for the impromptu brawl. Jacobs whipped Aries towards a wall but Aries jumped onto some rolled up mats and hit a flying clothesline. Aries nailed a brainbuster. Jacobs locked in his End Time submission but Aries broke it by running himself into a wall. Jacobs tried for a spear but was kneed and caught in a front facelock. Aries began beating Jacobs into a chair.
Aries set up a ladder and climbed it but Jacobs flung a chair at him and pulled him down. They ended up brawling around and up the ladder until they were on top of it. Necro Butcher hit the scene with a chair. Jacobs instructed Necro to nail Aries while Aries told him not to listen. They foreshadowed this by mentioning Aries had been trying to get through to Necro that Jacobs was using him. Necro, not sure what to do, shoved the ladder over and both crashed through tables that were nearby. Necro disappeared as the brawl between the two continued while the PPV went off the air. A fun, gritty brawl to close the show.
Overall, another fine outing for the company. ROH did their best to use editing and inserts to add a different feel to the PPV. I thought the packages on the talents were an awesome addition to the show and you really can't complain about any PPV with two matches featuring great 20-plus minutes of wrestling on top. If you want to check out some top notch wrestling and logical writing (minus the Briscoes' disappearance), you'll enjoy this show.

Pasadena was blessed with a number of posh hotels (none of which survive today) during its first boom period, in the 19th century, but it really arrived with the construction of this place. First built in 1906 as the Hotel Wentworth, it struggled and was finally bought by railroad magnate and local boy Henry Huntington in 1911. He hired architect Myron Hunt to fix the place up, and three years later, the Huntington Hotel opened, becoming the premier winter resort in Southern California. Everyone who was anyone wintered here, strolling the 23 acres of gorgeously landscaped grounds by day and attending formal dinner-dances in the Georgian Room by night. The Huntington's success led to its opening year-round in 1926, when it built California's first Olympic-size swimming pool to refresh summertime guests. It remained Pasadena's swankiest address for decades, though it shut down during World War II, when it was rented to the Army for $3,000 a month.
By the '80s, however, the Huntington (by then a Sheraton) had faded, and its inability to meet earthquake standards led to its closing in 1985. Along came the Ritz-Carlton, which pumped in zillions to bring the place up to modern code and restored it to its 1920s glamor. And now the Langham, a small, high-end hotel group, runs the place to the nth degree. Today the Huntington gives guests deeply comfortable rooms, grounds that epitomize gracious Pasadena living, a serious and ambitious restaurant, a fantastic (and fantastically expensive) new indoor-outdoor bar, a luxe spa, solicitous service, a fabled pool, and gobs of period charm, from the Picture Bridge, with its 40 murals depicting California history, to the English-library look of the lobby lounge, where jazz and blues bands play on weekends.
You've really made it if you can stay in one of the eight bungalows, most of which were built around the hotel in the '20s and '30s by wealthy regular guests who wanted more comfortable lodgings for a long stay. If you don't stay at the Huntington, at least come for a sunny-day lunch at the Terrace by the pool, and take time to stroll the grounds. Or stop in the new Tap Room bar, which has fast become the place in town to meet and/or celebrate.

You probably know that your genes help make you who you are. Except for identical twins, everyone has a slightly different set of genes, and when our genes interact with our environment, that's what makes us unique individuals.
Genes give us different hair, eye, and skin colors, and affect our height and weight. Genes also affect the inside of our bodies, and influence how organs like the heart, lungs, and even the brain work. But did you know that genes also affect how you behave? And the opposite is also true: how you behave can affect your genes!
Your lifestyle and your genes
Scientists have learned that genes are affected by our lifestyles: what we eat and drink, how much we exercise, how much we sleep. These factors influence how genes are expressed—or turned "on" or "off"—in our bodies. That can have pretty major effects on health.
Currently, scientists are studying how taking cocaine affects your genes. Scientists have known for a while that using cocaine over a drawn-out period can lead to permanent changes in the brain. Teen brains may be especially vulnerable, because they'e still developing. But what causes those changes to happen?
In May 2009, a NIDA-funded study found one piece of the puzzle—and it has to do with, yep, genes.
Reducing the cocaine "reward"
For the first time, scientists have discovered that mice given repeated cocaine exposure "turn on" genes in certain regions of the brain. These genes, called sirtuins (pronounced sir-TOO-ins), are activated by long-term exposure to cocaine, and it looks like they contribute to the development of addiction.
When the scientists prevented sirtuin activation in the brains of lab mice, the mice didn't find cocaine to be as good, or rewarding. To say it another way, without turning these genes "on," cocaine couldn't give the mice a "high" anymore, and the mice didn't want the drug as much.
These results are pretty exciting, because if scientists could develop a treatment based on these genes, it might help people suffering from cocaine addiction. That kind of treatment is a long way off—but at least now the scientists know how cocaine affects genes, and how that affects the brain. And that's a good start.
Want to learn more? Check out the blog post "Say What? Epigenetics."
it is good but why did you do it
Boby, researchers do animial studies to discover new ways to help people suffering from diseases, including the disease of addiction. This study brings scientists a step closer to understanding how cocaine affects genes and the brain, so that better treatments can be developed to fight addiction. It's a small step, but at least it's in the right direction.
Knowing that, makes it scary to even think bout considering trying cocaine.
JUst thinking about how it things in my genes could affect things like that freaks me out.
thinkin about doin cocain is terafin it would mess up my life nd living wth a person like tht i wount even thnk about it
poor mice.
did they get addicted to the cocaine?
yes drugs are bad
i know, poor mice
do the mice get addicted to
Interesting question, Richard. Yes, in fact, scientists use certain animal models of addiction in which the mice do get addicted and learn how to self-administer various drugs so that researchers can better understand their effects on brains and behavior. The goal is to learn more about how drugs work in the brain and body so we can better prevent addiction from taking hold and better treat it when it does.
i think that not even hospitals should use certin drugs and yes i think drugs can give you viruses because when poeple get the flu shots they sometimes get sick i think that they should try to find a diffrent flu shot forula
thank you for replying and i think adictoin has a really good point again thanke you for replying
i like mice
poor little bitty baby mice thangs...
You are all nieve ignorant yuppies
drugs are not goood for you.
DONT DO THEM, instead get girfriend/boyfriend.
dont do them
coke is not a good deal. you do it, youll die
i was watching a movie and i saw some one doing cocain so tell me is it good or badies
Drugs are very bad
people are stupid for doing that
Pretty cool research. Hopefully with this technology and knowledge they can also treat other addictions as well.
thanks for the leassons
I don't think it's right to make a treatment like that because then it's going to wind up being 'okay' to use cocaine because anyways "they found a cure" Lots more people would want to use it because there would be no neggative effects to come from it. If someone who is addicted to the drug wants to quit, they have to do it on their own. Hard work is what movivates them to not return to the evils of coaine and other drugs. If someone could take a 'shortcut' what lesson did they learn in the first place?
IM HOOKED ON CRACK.AT LEAST 20yrs NOw.Ive tried everything,but at 48yrs old i feel like life is over for me?HELP [personal email removed, per guidelines]

Very cool way to explain coke. I think its just sad how people go on crazy coke binges. yikes!

drugs r dumb and stupid
yes drugs are bad...
Drugs suck i dont know why anyone does them they hurt really bad.
Just say no

After i read this blog i have made a conclusion why do people do drugs like cocaine if it has so many side effects. So to me people do drugs like that people seem to have to much time on their hands

Facebook is testing its own version of Pinterest. It's called "Facebook Collections." It adds clickable buttons to posts about products from retailers, which then adds it to a personalized page that reminds you to buy it later. Ugh.
AllFacebook reports the Facebook Collections feature has been enabled for several retailers, including Pottery Barn. A collection page looks like a photo album, but behaves something like Amazon's wish list—users can keep track of objects they'd like to buy.
We've known this type of funcitonality was coming ever since Facebook started testing a Want button over the summer. And yes, it's Facebook's job to make money, but we can't help but wish that everything online didn't turn into a massive opportunity to sell us crap. [All Facebook via Ubergizmo]

Humidity - Measurement and Monitoring of relative Humidity
Find out in this short film how relative humidity (RH) arises, how it is measured and why.
YouTube.com video not visible? Try this link: Vimeo.com - ROTRONIC Relative Humidity Measurement
The main fields of use for humidity measuring equipment lie in the pharmaceutical and food industries, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) applications as well as drying processes and storage. Measurement of air humidity moreover plays a key role in meteorology, while archives and museums also use data loggers or humidity measuring instruments. Apart from humidity, temperature is often also measured. Rotronic humidity measuring instruments therefore usually also measure temperature at the same time.

Hans Leenhouts necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 129 diseños de 40 diseñadores freelance.
Stichting Vrienden Fastservice ( in english: Foundation Friends Fastservice)
THE BRANCHE/INDUSTRY ( where we use the word BRANCHE you can also read INDUSTRY)
Like in the rest of the world many people in the Netherlands visit Quick Service Restaurants like McDonald's, Burgerking, KFC. Apart from these well-known fastfoodrestaurants, we consider also outlets where food and drinks are being served (fast) to consume on the spot or to go/take away, being part of a branche called "Fastservice": a blend of (quick)foodservice, retail and hospitality industry..
Not only in Holland the branche has a negative image: for as well as the food ( unhealthy) as working ( so called Mcjobs). And we want to improve this image here in Holland.
This Dutch foundation has the following goal:
Improving the image, including working and learning, in the fastservice branche.
We want to reach these goals by doing:
- research and investigations in the branche in order to support entrepreneurs and companies to improve running and profits of their business/outlet.
- organizing and distribution of knowledge
- improve knowledge by education, training and workshops. Creating career opportunities. So the branche is attractive to work in/for.
The foundation needs participants who support the foundation with knowledge, financially(donations) or stimulating employees to follow education, training or workshops. These participants are called: Vrienden (friends).
target audience
We are a modern and transparent foundation who need the support of "friends" in the Netherlands. Our audience are suppliers/ companies delivering to the branche such as Coca-Cola, McCain, But also fastservice companies/franchise chains with employees being trained or educated in fastservice such as McDonald's, and local well-known fastservice companies likes Servex, Verhage foods, etc.
(see also their websites). But also NGO's and education partners who support our goals.
Examples of sites of friends of the foundation
http://www.kenwerk.nl ( educational partner)
http://www.kenniscentrumhoreca.nl ( knowledge partner)
http://www.nederlandschoon.nl ( educational partner)
We need a complete graphical rebranding with logo and website (website contest will start after the winning logo is chosen).
- The logo needs to reflect the feeling of "doing things/business together" in order to improve the image/conception of the branche.
- The logo will be used for the new website and stationary and we will use it in several sizes, so consider the ability to read the name of the foundation.
- Please use colours which respect the branche but think also about colours being used for the idea of people, planet, profit: possible green
- Logo should be bright and different ( but a bit of serious business), qualtity first, people friendly, feeling of support/ community.
- Logo will be published on reports, investigations and research: so it must also be a "serious" logo and not to "funny/childish".
- Logo can be a symbol of cooperation, people standing next to each other support our goals, be free to make your own interpretation.
- The name of the foundation "Stichting Vrienden Fastservice" should be incorporated in / joint to the logo.
- Logo should be delivered in a such format, we can use it for all kind of purposes.

A record-high 38% of Americans prefer that the same party control the presidency and Congress, while a record-low 23% say it would be better if the president and Congress were from different parties and 33% say it doesn't make any difference.
While Americans tend to lean toward one-party government over divided government in presidential election years, this year finds the biggest gap in preferences for the former over the latter and is a major shift in views from one year ago.
These findings are based on Gallup's annual Governance survey, conducted Sept. 6-9. The data show an increased level of support for one-party rule amid a currently divided government in which the Democrats control the presidency and the Senate, while the Republicans control the House. This suggests many Americans are experiencing divided-government fatigue.
Opinions on divided government have fluctuated over the years. When one party controlled both Congress and the presidency in 2006 and 2010, Gallup found near-historical lows supporting one-party rule. This suggests Americans may simply tend to prefer what they don't have or see problems in whatever the current situation is. At least one chamber of Congress changed hands in the subsequent elections, and the increase in support for one-party government in 2008 foreshadowed an election that would give the Democrats sole control of the presidency and both houses of Congress.
Just once, in 2005, have a plurality of Americans preferred divided government since Gallup began asking this question, indicating division at the federal level is rarely popular. The "makes no difference" response has generally been the most popular, though support for it fell this year to tie the lowest level Gallup has found.
Democrats More Likely to favour Same-Party President and Congress
Democrats (49%) are now more likely than Republicans (36%) or independents (28%) to favour one-party government. There may be several reasons for this. Democrats currently control the presidency and many Democrats may be frustrated that President Barack Obama cannot enact his legislative agenda without the help of a sympathetic Congress. Also, Democrats are more likely than Republicans to express faith in the federal government's ability to handle domestic problems. Insofar as politically unified executive and legislative branches ease the passage of laws and the implementation of policies designed to solve national problems, Democrats would view this as a positive development. Republicans also favour one-party control over divided government, but by a smaller margin of 36% to 27%. Independents are split in their preferences between one-party (28%) and divided (30%) government.
Democrats' preference for unified government rose significantly this year — to 49%, compared with 35% last year. Independents also became more favourable to one-party government this year, up seven percentage points compared with 2011. Republicans did not see a significant change.
The uptick in Democrats' preference for one-party government reflects a pattern in which members of the president's party have the strongest desire for one-party government when an incumbent is competing for a new term. In 2004, when President Bush and a Republican Congress stood for re-election, Republican voters preferred unified over divided government, 59% to 18%. Democrats in contrast preferred divided government (42%) to one-party government (37%). This is perhaps because the Republicans looked likely to hold on to Congress regardless of the outcome of the presidential election, and so Democrats saw the prospect of a Democratically controlled government as unrealistic. Now, with President Obama running for re-election, Democrats clearly prefer one-party government to an even stronger degree than they did in 2008, when both parties favoured one-party government over divided government by significant margins, 47% to 37% for the Republicans and 47% to 40% among Democrats.
Americans are more supportive of one-party government now than previously, including presidential election years. This is mainly due to a surge in Democrats' preference for unified party control of government, as President Obama seeks a second term after dealing with a Republican-controlled House the last two years. Republicans also prefer unified government rather than divided government this year.
As the 2012 election approaches, these findings suggest that Americans may be somewhat less open to ballot splitting than in prior years. At the same time, support for one-party government typically increases in presidential election years, and the surge in Democrats' preferences may reflect their growing enthusiasm about the election more broadly.

Highlight: Ohio Senator Confronted By Constituents
Ohio Senator Confronted By Constituents Over Support For Medicare And Social Security Cuts
Ohio Senator Rob Portman (R) was one of a handful of Washington, D.C lawmakers and policy experts invited to participate in a panel discussion on the fiscal cliff on Tuesday morning, but his prepared remarks were temporarily derailed by about a dozen protestors who stood up, one at a time, to confront Portman over his support for the Republican plan to cut billions from social programs and entitlements that millions of low-income and middle class Americans rely on.
For five minutes, individuals scattered throughout the audience interrupted Portman to ask him not to cut programs like Medicare and Social Security or spending on teachers and other public employees. Several of them identified themselves as his constituents, to which Portman responded by promising them an audience following his remarks. The confrontations, though coordinated, harkened back to last spring, when Republicans returned home to their districts only to find themselves face to face with angry voters who voiced their displeasure at the Republicans' budget plan of deep cuts and no increases in revenue.
Portman was invited to speak by a group calling itself "Fix The Debt," a collection of corporate CEOs who are advocating cuts to entitlement programs while simultaneously pushing for more than $100 billion in tax breaks for themselves and their companies.
Watch the protests:
Protesters disrupt Sen. Portman during "Fix the Debt" conference
Things only got more tense once the protestors were escorted from the room. The cameraman captured Ed Haislmaier, a senior research fellow from the Heritage Foundation, shouting angrily at the crowd, and it appears that another individual tried to grab the camera before the footage cuts off.

A person can be a resident of only one state at any given time. Usually, it is clear which state that is. Normally, it is the state in which they live and work. Occasionally, however, the question of residency can be a little more difficult to answer. If a person moves during the year, or for some reason spends an extended period of time outside the state, the actual state of residence may not always be as obvious.
The issue of residency hinges mainly on the intent of the individual. That intent is often clear and easy to determine. If a person moves from one state to another with the intent of changing their residence, that person will take certain actions. He or she will typically take obvious steps to eliminate ties and contacts with the former state, and establish similar ties and contacts with the new state. In some cases, however, the actions taken by the individual may create some confusion as to the actual intent.
When a person's intent is not readily apparent, several factors are used as a guide to measure that intent. No single factor can be used. All the facts and circumstances of the case must be weighed in their totality to determine a person's intent and residency. Some of the factors used in this analysis are listed below:
Please keep in mind that no single factor will typically be sufficient to make a residency determination. When viewed as a whole, the answers to the above questions will generally give a good indication as to the individual's intent, and therefore, to the state of residence.
For more details on the subject of residency, including several examples, please refer to Iowa Rule 701-38.17.
