NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Undergoing Tommy John surgery isn't necessarily a death sentence for pitchers – but it certainly isn't good news either. While most can recover in less than a year and a half, the process is grueling and has no guarantees. Lipscomb baseball senior Denton Norman knows the ins and outs of Tommy John all too well after tearing his UCL two seasons ago. However, after a stellar senior campaign in 2017, Norman can be listed among the surgery's success stories.
Norman - a biology major - is affectionately known as "Doc" around the baseball program. The nickname stems partially from his major and also from former Bison hurler Jaesung Hwang, who mistakenly believed that Norman's father was a doctor.
"J thought my dad was a doctor the entire time he knew me," Norman said. "That's how the nickname came to fruition and it stuck thanks to my major."
"Doc" found himself on the receiving end of some serious medical attention after partially tearing his UCL during the 2015 season. Elbow pain gradually worsened for Norman, whose last appearance before the surgery came on April 4, 2015 at Jacksonville.
"The doctors said it was damaged badly enough that I would eventually tear it completely," Norman said. "The gradual pain caught up with me, so I figured I'd go ahead and have the surgery."
The news was equally disappointing for Norman and the Bisons, who had to make alternate plans in regards to their Sunday starter.
"It was a huge loss because he was such a big part of the staff," Lipscomb head coach Jeff Forehand said. "He was pitching well and had really solidified the Sunday role when he got injured."
Rather than sulk, Norman was determined to make a full recovery. Respected Nashville orthopedic surgeon and longtime Tennessee Titans doctor Burton Elrod performed the surgery on May 5, 2015, marking the beginning of a long road to recovery for Norman.
"I'll tell you what, it was a trek," he said of the healing process. "It took me a year and a half to fully recover, so it felt great to be back."
The Katy, Texas native returned last fall and never looked back. After initially being the most reliable option out of the bullpen, Norman was bumped up to make several starts on the mound in the last month of the season. His first start in over two years was a masterful performance against Kennesaw State in late April, when he tossed eight scoreless innings and earned ASUN Pitcher of the Week for his efforts.
One week later, Norman was handed the Ken Dugan Award, the highest honor bestowed upon a Lipscomb baseball player each season.
"We had several guys on the team that were deserving of the award, so this year's winner was a hard one to pick," Forehand said. "It came down to Denton - he always does the right thing and is such a great teammate and student."
Norman, who touted a 4-4 record and a 2.02 ERA in 2017, said the accolades were appreciated.
"Usually I feel like I'm hiding in the background with so many talented players around me," he said. "It feels good to get a little recognition, but I can't rest on the awards. I've got to go out and perform every time because that's what is expected."
The 6-foot-3 hurler is set to finish his last few classes at Lipscomb this fall. Norman admits that balancing a major like biology with baseball had its difficulties. Part of his key to success was cutting out social media as part of a New Year's resolution.
"I got rid of social media two years ago and it's been tough, but it's made me a lot more productive," Norman said. "Time management is very important."
The future is still up in the air for Norman, who has dreams of playing professional baseball and going to graduate school.
"If I get a chance to go play ball, I'm going to go do that," he said. "I'm planning on taking a year off to work anyways, and then I plan on applying to grad school."
Whether his future lies on baseball field or in the medical field, "Doc" has certainly proven that he will not back down from a challenge.
"Sometimes he had to arrive late or miss practice, but he managed to keep everything balanced," Forehand said. "He pushed through everything and it was been such a blessing to see him overcome the hardship of the injury and have a great comeback season."

text: WASHINGTON - The president, convinced that the only thing America has to fear is an insufficiency of fear, has warned that ''disaster'' and ''catastrophe'' are the certain alternatives to swift passage of the stimulus legislation. One marvels at his certitude more than one envies his custody of this adventure. Certitude of one flavor or another is never entirely out of fashion in Washington. Thirty years ago, some conservatives were certain that their tax cuts would be so stimulative that they would be completely self-financing. Today, some liberals are certain that the spending they favor - on green jobs, infrastructure and everything else - will completely pay for itself. In December 1965, John Maynard Keynes, although 19 years dead, was, as today, enjoying one of his recurring resurrections as vindicator of government management of the economy by manipulating ''aggregate demand.'' Keynes' visage was on Time magazine's cover and the accompanying story said that happy days were here again and here to stay. President Lyndon Johnson was embarked on building the Great Society, assisted by policymakers who, wrote Time, ''have used Keynesian principles'' to smooth the moderate business cycles and achieve price stability. Ten years later, the ''misery index'' - the unemployment rate plus the inflation rate - was 19.9, heading for 22 percent in 1980. Today, again, we are told that ''politics'' has no place in the debate about the tripartite stimulus legislation, which is partly a stimulus, partly liberalism's agenda of social engineering, and partly the beginning of ''remaking'' the economy. It is said that the negligible Republican support for the stimulus legislation means that bipartisanship is dead. But what can ''bipartisanship'' mean concerning legislation that concerns almost everything? The federal government, with its separation of powers and myriad blocking mechanisms, was not made for speed but for safety. This is particularly pertinent today because if $838 billion is spent ineffectively or destructively, government does not get to say ''oops'' and take a mulligan. Senate Republicans have only slightly slowed the ''disaster! catastrophe!'' stampede. Still, as Anthony Trollope wrote in one of his parliamentary novels, ''The best carriage horses are those which can most steadily hold back against the coach as it trundles down the hill.''

IGN FilmForce has learned who is being considered to portray the late King of Rock n' Roll in CBS's forthcoming TV miniseries 41328.html" target="parent">Elvis. Two separate sources were mum when asked whether Desperate Housewives co-star Jesse Metcalfe was one of several actors in the running to play Presley. Neither source wished to be quoted on the record but IGNFF can confirm that there has been interest expressed in Metcalfe. Still, that doesn't mean he'll get the part. Officially, all roles in Elvis remain uncast.
Metcalfe was named Us Weekly's "Sexiest Man on Television." Before his role on Desperate Housewives, the Italian-French-Portuguese actor appeared on the TV series Passions and in the telepic 44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shoot-Out. He has also appeared on Smallville as "Van McNulty."
According to the IMDb, Metcalfe stands 5'11" (Elvis' height) and also likes to sing and play guitar. Before becoming a small screen star, the 25-year-old Metcalfe was a film and theater student at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. (Ironically enough, Elvis' stillborn twin was named Jesse.)
Jesse Metcalfe's official site can be found here.
Elvis Presley (L) and Jesse Metcalfe (R).
The four-hour Elvis begins filming this January in New Orleans for a 2005 airdate. James Sadwith will direct from a script by Patrick Sheane Duncan.

October 12, 2009 (LYNN, Ind.) --An ex-Marine who served in Iraq faces multiple charges including three counts of attempted murder of a police officer after firing on officers. Authorities say 26-year-old Andrew Ward of rural Lynn fired four shotgun blasts at three officers Friday night at a rural farm house. No officers were hurt.
After that weapon and another malfunctioned, officers used a stun gun to subdue him. He was being held without bond Sunday at the Randolph County Jail. He also faces preliminary charges of criminal recklessness, battery and intimidation.
Family members said Ward was discharged from the Marines last month and is seeking disability veterans benefits for anxiety and post-traumatic-stress disorders. An older brother, also an ex-Marine in Iraq, killed himself in 2003.
Lynn is about 65 miles east of Indianapolis.

Catching Up With… Pablo Aravena, Director of NEXT: A Primer on Urban Painting
"I recently went back to my home country, Chile with my film NEXT. I screened it at the Santiago International Film Festival SANFIC and it got a great home crowd response. I met some of the writers and painters that work on street there and I can tell you that Chile has a very strong and vibrant street art/graffiti scene. I would even say that there is a distinct Chilean style coming out with traces of the political muralism from the 70's (Brigada Ramona Parra style), wildstyle, pixacao influence and latin american muralism in general. You have people working in all the styles and techniques from traditional NY style lettering to postering, stenciling, stickering its all there. The other thing that had a great impact on me is that you feel the strong socio/political connection there with making work on the street since its anchored in a reality were there is poverty beside a lot of wealth.
I had the chance to spend 2 days in Valparaiso the jewel of Chilean cities. This wonderful port city with its 48 hills is covered in murals, pieces and tags. It has a great cultural life, it is really like the Barcelona of Chile. I got the insider tour from Charquipunk a local street artist and great DJ. I fell in love with Valparaiso and will return there in late December to soak up its vibe some more."... Pablo Aravena

Retain Mahama : U/W Regional House of Chiefs President
The outgoing president of the Upper West Regional House of Chiefs, Naa Dr Charles Puo-Uree Chiiri, has reiterated his stance on the need for Ghanaians to give President John Mahama a second term.
He explained that in advanced democracies when a government is seen to be doing well it is retained by the people.
He made the statement when the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah paid a courtesy call on members of the Nandom Traditional Council at Nandom.
"If something does well, more of that thing must be retained to do better and I don't see why we should be doubting,'' he said.
This is the second time Naa Dr Puo-Uree Chiiri, who is also the paramount chief of Nandom has made the appeal.
The first was in July when President John Mahama visited the region during his accounting to the people tour.
He conceded that the traditional area has some challenges relating to their road network but was of the opinion that if the President is given another term he would fix them.
Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah thanked the chiefs for the confidence reposed in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and promised the ruling party would not let them down.
He said the NDC party launched its manifesto last Saturday and as a mark of respect, he has been sent by the President to inform them about some of the items contained in it.
The Chief of Staff later paid a courtesy call on the Paramount Chief of Lawra, Naa Puowelle Karbo.
Naa Puowelle Karbo urged Ghanaians, especially the youth, to desist from drawing chiefs unnecessarily into their political discourse.
''It is common here, some of them will say this man is from the chief's house and the chief is this or that. When you start that way that is where the trouble will start.
Mr. Debrah assured the Lawra paramount chief that even though they have finished the major road from Wa to Babile and Lawra, they would not rest on their oars as they would ensure that the district gets its fair share of the national cake.

Near disaster with w230 build
befus posted a topic in Homemade Trail CameraMan, don't know what happened here. Chip in if you have thoughts. One of my nicer builds, built with dgrad's advice and council, is a Sony w230 build with as much as 6 AA's for EP, using a lcd board. Always performed extremely well. I get it ready to go out with a freshly charged BG1 in the cam and all six EP's (two separate three bat holders) and take it to camp, probably set in the cam case for about a week. I open it up to turn on the board and there is slimy gunk all over the back of the case. At least two of the bats had leaked, maybe three. The BG1 was dead, the three AA's in one holder (the leaky ones) were dead, and the other three down to .09 volts. I haven't a clue. Only guess I have is that maybe one of the AA's was bad (they were new, and no I did not check them) and that the BG1 tried to back charge and that the others got over charged and blew and the other three kept charging the BG1 and it kept trying to charge the bad bats, and so on. Any other thoughts?

The First thing to remember is to not be afraid to ask Questions!
Field Trialing is a very enjoyable sport to get into. You will meet lots of people who all share basically the same thing - a love of dogs! It is a sport that you can get into for a small initial investment, or you can spend as much as you want. To get started in Cover Trials or Walking trials all you have to have is a Whistle, a Leash, a Bell, and a Blank Pistol and most will have all but the Blank Pistol. If you want to get into Horseback trials you can spend all you want on Horses, Trailers, Saddles, etc. This site deals with Cover Trials and so the information here will be given with that in mind.
Here are a couple of Links to places where you can get some good Information,
You can download this PDF document by right-clicking on this link and choosing the "Save Target As" option. This document details the guidelines most commonly used for evaluating field trials, for all field trial sanctioning bodies. AFTCA is a club affiliated with American Field. Most, but not all, field trials reported in the biweekly newspaper THE AMERICAN FIELD and counting in the win record printed on FDSB (Field Dog Stud Book) pedigrees are sponsored at least in part by dog clubs affiliated with AFTCA.

This document describes in more detail the procedures and definitions used in most field trials conducted by The American Field and all field trials sanctioned by the Amateur Field Trial Clubs of America, Incorporated.
The dog under consideration must have and display great bird sense.
He must show perfect work on both coveys and singles.
He must quickly determine between foot and body scent.
He must use his brain eyes and nose to the fullest advantage and hunt the likely places on the course.
He must posses speed, range, style, character, courage and stamina, and good manners, always.
He must hunt the birds and not the handler hunt the dog. No line or path runner is acceptable.
He must be well broken, and the better his manners the more clearly he proves his sound training.
Should he loose a little in class, as expressed in extreme speed and range he can make up for this, under fair judgment, in a single piece of superior bird work, or in sustained demonstration of general behavior.
He must be bold, snappy and spirited. His range must be to the front or to either side, but never behind.
He must be regularly and habitually pleasingly
governable (tractable) and must keep uppermost in his mind the finding and pointing of birds for his handler.
Clarke Venable Nov. 20 1895
NNational Field Trial Champions…. William F Brown
At the mention of the words "field trial" some people swoon while others roll their eyes in disgust. There is no doubt that some people love them and others hate them. There are those who believe that trials are very essential to determining good breeding stock and others who feel that trials are irrelevant.
The question, however, remains: What is a field trial? The simple answer is that a field trial is a method of determining superior dogs by comparing the performances of a number of dogs in the field, under working conditions, and having objective third parties name the best performances as winners. Field trials are also public events, and so allow a number of people to view the dogs under fair circumstances. The trials are also reported and the wins recorded onto pedigrees so that accurate breeding decisions can be made.
A field trial dog, therefore, is a dog that competes in these events; a non-field trial dog is simply one who does not. Sometimes there is not much difference. In any litter of trial dogs, there might be some sold to trialers and some sold to non-trial hunters. If the best dog goes to the hunter, it will not be trialed though he may be more imbued with trial qualities than his littermates who ARE being campaigned. No doubt there are hunting dogs that are just as good as most trial dogs and vice-versa.
What constitutes a 'superior performance' is often a sticking point to new comers to the sport. Does everyone really agree on what the best dog really is? The fact is that there are a number of different circuits, each expecting something a bit different. Someone new may want to check more than one to find the type a dog he or she likes. In fact, if you do not like the type of dogs being placed in any of these circuits, you may, within certain guidelines from the American Field, establish and conduct the type of trial that you like with the standards that you think are important.
So the answer to the question "What Is A Field Trial Dog?" is a dog that competes in field trials.
A cover trial is an FDSB trial conducted on native Ruffed Grouse and/or North American Woodcock. Such trials are called "cover" trials because the nature of the grouse and woodcock cover is such that a lot of the trial takes place in cover as opposed to open fields. Quite simply, a cover trial is a grouse or woodcock field trial.
The best way to know what takes place at any field trial is to go to a few of them and, watch, listen, and talk to people. It is imperative for a person to keep an open mind. Field trials, cover trials included, are not for everyone. Some people are smitten at their first trial, or are, as we say are "bitten by the bug." Others are quite tentative but grow to like them. Still others are neither moved nor impressed, and so do not involve themselves in the sport. Nevertheless, it is always best to see a few trials for yourself before deciding.
Short of actually attending a trial, a distant second in terms of value would be to 'see' a trial by way of a written account of what takes place at a typical trial. So we offer the following fictional account:
Arnie Bugwolter has a nice pointer that he wants to compete with. The dog is pointing grouse very well and he has him steady. In mid-March, he sees an ad in the American Field for an April cover trial in Michigan. The ad has the phone number of the field trial chairman. Arnie enters his dog Phyllis in the trial.
The American Field ad also told what day and time the entries would close and what time the drawing would be. At 7 P.M. on a Thursday, the entries close. Phyllis is one of 33 dogs entered. The drawing, also per the ad, takes place at 7:30 P.M.l All of the entries are drawn on slips of paper and mixed in a bowl. Then the slips are drawn out and the dogs 'braced,' which means put together in pairs. Phyllis is the 17th dog drawn and is the first dog in the 9th brace. The 18th dog drawn is Nickless a setter dog, who is the second dog in the 9th brace. Phyllis and Nickless are thus scheduled to run with one another in the trial. One by one all of the other dogs are drawn and paired, until there is only one dog left. Because '33' is an odd number, the last dog will have to run alone, or as it is termed, a "bye."
The trial is scheduled to begin at 8:00 on Saturday morning. About that time, the first two dogs drawn out of the bowl are led to the designated beginning of course #1. Shortly after, two people on horses ride up to the area. These are the judges. When everyone is ready, the judges say, "turn 'em loose" and both dogs are released. The judges usually click on their stop watches. While there are longer 'heats' in trials, these dogs will have ½ hour in this trial to perform. Arnie puts a bell on Phyllis and leads her up to the start of the ninth course. Nickless is already there with his handler
The judges give the go ahead and both dogs are turned loose. For 30 minutes, the judges follow Arnie and his fellow handler and evaluate the dogs. The dogs will be judged on a number of criteria: how they hunt, do they go to the right spots? are they showing drive and speed?, do they range enough?, handle? Exhibit style? And bird work will be essential. Did the dog find a bird… or did he just happen to run into one? How did it point? Was it stylish and intense? Were the birds located right? How was the dog's style and manners?
At the 25 minute mark, Phyllis is hunting along a stream when her bell falls silent. The judge gets off the horse and follows Arnie in. "There she stands," Arnie says to the judge. "I see her," the judge responds. Arnie steps in front of Phyllis and a woodcock whistles away. He shoots and the dog remains where she stands.
"Bring her back to the course," the judges instruct.
Arnie collars her and then casts her back toward the trail. There are only a few minutes remaining by this point and Phyllis finishes well.
Arnie knows that she has done well, not 'perfect,' but 'well.' It will depend upon how the other dogs did and the judges are seeing it. Arnie is nervous as the rest of the dogs compete.
Finally the bye dog is finished, the stake is over, and everybody goes to the clubhouse for the announcement of the winners. With everyone gathered around, the trial chairman thanks the judges and gives each judge a modest gift. The other folks who helped with the trial are publicly thanked and then the winners are announced. Arnie is nervous.
"Third place goes to Rex's Beasie Child, with Frank Tonic," he says. He waits as those gathered applaud. Frank Tonic moves out of the crowd to collect his ribbon and purse check. "Second place goes to Crankin Phyllis with Arnie Bugwolter." Arnie smiles and moves forward, shaking hands along the way, to collect his red ribbon and check.
"And first place goes to Gezzer Mike, with Slim Duress."
The dogs are gathered and posed for pictures. All of the registration information is given to the trial officials so that the wins can be properly recorded and reported.
Because Grouse and Woodcock trials are conducted on wild game, it necessary that courses be set up in likely cover. A course is nothing more than a cut and blazed trail in the cover. Currently the Marienville grounds in Pennsylvania have 8 separate courses each an hour in length at a walking pace. Gladwin, Michigan has 7, and Kilkenny, New Hampshire has 7.
The courses are either named or numbered. A lot goes into setting up a trial course. Courses often need to allow for a mounted judge, so areas that are very muddy or steep are avoided. The courses need to have some 'flow' as we say, so that a dog hunting the cover properly shows well. A course that is very twisty, or that turns away from the cover will often result in a dog coming from behind. A lot of thought and effort goes into a cover trial course. Courses are laid out and maintained by hard work on the part of the club members. As the cover changes, the courses are modified and altered. When the course is no longer producing birds year after year, they are dropped and new courses set up to replace them.
Puppy trials are stakes for youngsters usually around 6 months to 1.5 years old depending upon what time of the year a pup was whelped. In cover trials, a puppy stake is a single course affair of 20 minutes to ½ hour per heat. The entry process and drawing take place as described previous. All of the pups are run on the same course, and there is usually no bird work. Many people think that puppy stakes are the hardest to judge since the judges are dealing with a lot of maturity variations and no bird work to assist in the evaluation.
Derby stakes are for dogs up to about 2.5 years old, again, depending upon the birthdates of the dog. A pup whelped in January will be about 2 ½ years old when it 'graduates' from the ranks of the derby, whereas a dog whelped in December will be 11 months younger when it 'graduates.'
There is some variation as to how these stakes are conducted. Some run on a single course, like the puppy stakes, and then the top dogs are called back to point a bird - either a wild bird - or a planted bird in a bird field. Other derby stakes run on multiple courses and try to make placements on dogs who have pointed wild birds. In the absence of suitable bird work, these dogs placed will either be called back to show on game, or will be placed just on their ground work. The manner in which the stake is to be run is usually advertised in the American Field.
Derby dogs are expected to be more mature than puppies in how they hunt and handle the terrain, and for the most part, they must point birds to place though there are some derbies still placed on race alone. Normally, in cover trials, a flash point is enough for a fall derby and a bit more expected in the spring. Generally, steady to wing and shot is used by a judge only to separate similar performances.
This is another area where words, sentences and paragraphs pale to the task. A small book could be written on this and there is not always complete agreement. It is way better to go and watch a few trials. While there are general guidelines and standards, individual judges see things and value things differently.
Generally, cover trailers are looking for a hard charging dog that hunts hard, looks good moving and on point, find birds independent of their handlers, handle, hunt forward, point positively, show plenty of drive and stamina, and also display a high level of training.
There are a number of reasons foremost are that many of the trials doing not take place during the hunting season. Even if it WERE hunting season, grouse trials are about the dogs and grouse hunting is about the birds. To shoot birds for a competition is to do the birds an injustice. There are also liability issues and fairness concerns being that shooting birds off a course leaves less opportunity for dogs on the course later in the trial.
All-age: Advertised by some grouse clubs, this means for dog of any age per the American Field Minimum Requirements.
American Field: The Chicago based magazine and home of the Field Dog Stud Book. This magazine is the sanctioning body for cover trials. Trials must be advertised with the American Field and it the American Field that awards championships and tallies wins on the pedigrees.
Amateur stake: This is a type of stake that it restricted to amateur handlers under rules of the AFTCA (Amateur Field Trial Clubs Of America). As opposed to "open" stakes
Announcement: Generally this is short for "announcement of the winners" which is
made by trial officials sometime after the stake's conclusion.
Back: A dog honoring another dog's point. The backing dog, ideally, looks as if it is also pointing the bird.
Back Cast: This refers to a dog making a loop rearward.
Blink: A dog that leaves or avoids a bird or a back.
Bobble: This refers to a slight or minor error on birds, usually some movement by the dog.
Brace: Dogs run in pairs are called a "brace."
Brace Sheet: A paper printed and copied which shows the order of running, which is basically the dogs and braces for the various stakes listed as they were drawn. Brace sheets are almost always available at the trials.
Break-away: The start of heat where dogs are turned loose.
Broke: A term most often used to mean "Steady-To-Wing-And-Shot."
Bye: The dog scheduled to run by itself, and last, because of an odd number of dogs entered. A "bye dog," may be moved up into a slot vacated by a dog that has been scratched or whose owner did not show up for the brace.
Call Back: Similar to second series, a 'call back' is when a dog that has already run for the prescribed amount of time is called for again by the judges for further review. Usually a call back is used so that judges can see and evaluate something that they did not see the first time around. Usually, but not always, a dog is called back because it had performed very well in terms of ground race, but has no opportunity to show on game. The call back is thus ordered to give the dog a chance to point a bird. Such a call back can be on wild birds or on planted birds in a birdfield. Some trials have a call back built into the formula of the trial.

Pathy: Used to describe a dog that likes to run trails.
"Picked up": A dog that is removed from competition either by its handler or ordered up by the judge is said to be "picked up." A somewhat slangy term for the same thing is to say that the dog was "hooked," or was "on the hook" after some infraction.
Pointing Style: Refers to a dog's attitude while on point. Preferred is a high head, straight 12: oclock tail, the dog standing tall, and lots of intensity.
Puppy: Dogs up to 1.5 years old depending upon what time of the year a pup was whelped.
Purse: Prize winnings for dogs that win or place.
Qualification: Championships require that a dog have a prior placement in order to be able to run the championship, or in other words, to "qualify" the dog. Most championships require a derby placement, but several require a shooting dog placement. For 'open' championships, the placement needs to be in an open trial, for amateur championships, an amateur placement in a derby or shooting dog is necessary.
Ribbon: While some clubs give plaques and other prizes for winning dogs, most give a prize ribbon to the winning dog. The ribbon usually bears the name of the club, the name of the stake, and the date. Normally the blue ribbon goes to first place, a red to second place and a yellow to third place.
"Rough": Usually is short for "rough-handling" meaning a dog that is not handling very well.
Running Style: Refers to a dog's deportment while running. The emphasis these days is placed on the preference for a high active tail, but running style also includes gait.
"Ran over a bird": When a dog, usually one that is running hard, moves the bird before he realizes it is there.
"Scoop": A slang term for a dog that purposefully roots out a bird.
Scout: A person designated by the handler to go out and look for a dog that may be on point.
Scratch: When a handler calls AFTER the drawing and removes his dog from the competition, it is called a scratch.

Shooting Dog: Refers to a finished mannered adult dog stake.
"Short": Used to describe a dog that does not range very much, meaning "short ranging."
Stake: At any field trial event, there may be several 'stakes' which are separate competitions within the context of the trial. A trial, for example, might run a shooting dog stake, a derby stake, and a puppy stake.
Single Course: Refers to a stake where all the competitors run on the same course. Also called "One Course."
"Soft in the front.": Refers to a dog that points staunchly but lacks some intensity by looking around or sniffing the ground, etc.
Stop-to-flush: When a bird flushes and a dog stops to honor the flight.
"Took a bird": See "root,"

I know what you are thinking. The preacher who changed the world was Jesus Christ. And, of course, you are right. The words of Jesus Christ turned BC into AD and launched the Christian church, the most transformational institution of all time.
But there was another preacher whose influence was profound. It was his teachings that propelled the Reformation and spawned the modern democratic state and capitalism. They helped birth a new nation founded on Judeo-Christian principles. He took the doctrines of the Bible and systematized them in the definitive work of the Reformation. This man preached three times on Sunday and on three occasions during the week. In addition, he lectured on theology three times a week. Over the course of his lifetime, he produced four thousand sermons as well as a series of Bible commentaries totaling forty- five volumes of over 400 pages each.
That man was John Calvin – father of the Reformed Church.
"For the duration of his ministry, Calvin's approach was to preach systematically through entire books of the Bible. Rarely was he out of a book study. 'Sunday after Sunday, day after day… Calvin climbed up the steps into the pulpit. There he patiently led his congregation verse by verse through book after book of the Bible.' Rare were the exceptions to this pattern. 'Almost all Calvin's recorded sermons are connected series on books of the Bible.' As a faithful shepherd, he fed his congregation a steady diet of sequential expository messages.
This verse-by-verse style—lectio continua, the 'continuous expositions'—guaranteed that Calvin would preach the full counsel of God. Difficult and controversial subjects were unavoidable. Hard sayings could not be skipped. Difficult doctrines could not be overlooked. The full counsel of God could be heard."1
I have never yet attended a church where the pastor preached verse by verse through the entire Bible in this way. The vast majority of messages I have heard are topical – the preacher has a subject he wants to address and selects a passage of scripture that fits. This prejudices the interpretation towards his own pre-determined conclusion.
The preacher who comes closest to Calvin in terms of expository skill and diligent study today is John MacArthur of Grace Church in Sun Valley, California. But there are many other very good ones. Alistair Begg, Steven Lawson, and RC Sproul are among them. But John Calvin was the best there ever was. All are members of the Reformed tradition. My life has been changed dramatically since I have begun a systematic study of the scriptures under the tutelage of these and other great Bible expositors.
The reason today's church looks so much like the world (in the sense that all the same disorders and social maladies affect both equally) is the lack of transforming expository preaching. That is also the reason they have come to rely upon entertainment, seeker friendly, small groups, and canned gospel presentations to grow the church. God will always draw people to Himself through the faithful, accurate ministry of the word. And they will be the kind of people who have contrite spirits and are seeking the Lord for the right reason – because they want to be restored to fellowship with Him, not to receive their own desires.
What sets reformed teaching apart from the topical sermons we hear from so many of our pulpits is the thorough examination of the grammatical-historical context of scripture that provides a fuller understanding of the author's intent. For instance, until I began listening to John MacArthur I did not know that there were three different kinds of marriage in ancient Rome that Paul was addressing in 1 Corinthians 7. That changes the whole thrust of Paul's message. Nor did I know that the 10,000 talents owed by the merciless debtor was more than the entire annual tax revenue from Galilee or more than three times the amount of gold used in the temple of Solomon. I had no idea that the parable of the prodigal son was really not about the son but the father who disgraced himself in order to spare his wayward son the shame his behavior had brought upon himself. Nor did I know that the majority of the Roman empire were slaves and that is one reason why Paul urged them to obey their masters (otherwise there would have been such a revolution that it would have torn apart the ancient world and vastly complicated the spread of the gospel). Nor did I know that some very erudite and educated people were slaves and close confidants of their masters. That gave new meaning to Christ's saying, "No longer do I call you slaves, but friends."
I have learned far more from the reformed preachers I hear on the radio and mobile apps than I have ever learned from anyone's pulpit ministry. And I believe that is why there is so much tepid Christianity in today's church.

Reviews of Banana Tree Oxford
Becca – January 2016
Just a month ago another new restaurant opened somewhat quietly in the centre of Oxford. With no big promo or social media splash heralding the arrival of Banana Tree Oxford, it was only spotted by the Bitten team on a casual walk by. With several locations in London and one in Milton Keynes, this seems to be another chain keen to spread its wings.
Intrigued to try another Indochinese restaurant opening just a few doors away from Thaikhun we booked a table…. Click here to read the full review of Banana Tree

President Goodluck Jonathan was given an honest report for the first time in his life in public office shortly before the February 14 2015 date for the general elections. He was told point blank by the members of his kitchen cabinet and sundry aides, that if the elections were conducted on February 14 as planned by INEC, his loss would be so comprehensive that it would set an unbeatable record of defeat that will stand throughout this generation!
The strategists of the President came up with a battle plan. They advised that the first thing to do was to postpone the election so as to buy as much time as possible to turn the table against the candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC). They asked for and obtained the permission of the President to come up with a script to change the obvious tide of the general elections. The document they came up with was rather simplistic. Having been cooked up by simple-minded fellows. They listed the issues on which the President has performed dismally and requested the President to take some actions, however farcical to correct the anomaly. Next they advised that the slant of PDP propaganda should shift from the decency of issues to the murky arena of innuendoes and slander against not only the candidates of APC but also notable officials of the party. They advised that since the President has very little by the way of achievements, personal attacks on the APC and its members would do just fine. Finally, they advised that since the funds available to the PDP are limitless, truck loads of cash, denominated in dollars, should be deployed to "buy" traditional rulers and opinion leaders, particularly in the South West zone.
Suddenly, the parade of suspect "achievements" of the President dried up. Assaults on the integrity of the APC Presidential candidate took over. Concurrently, the President embarked on a number of activities. He succumbed to the over-due reduction of the prices of refined petroleum products. No one was fooled. In any case, the shylock marketers decided to make nonsense of the change in the price regime. The action of the President achieved nothing. They felt insulted by the belated decision by a President afraid to lose an election and desperately looking for purchased votes.
To make up for the neglect, nay betrayal of members of the Armed Forces deployed in combat against Boko Haram terrorists, the President donned an ill-fitting military fatigue and went to the safest areas of operations to mouth some inanities. The bemused troops smiled and wondered about the quality of the Commander-in-Chief under whose command they were serving. The action of the President achieved nothing. The gallant troops ran Boko Haram terrorists out of town after town. They wondered why it took a pending election for the President to do what he had to have done years before. And if the President believes that the recaptured areas will be ready for elections, he needs to do a rethink. There are an estimated 1.5 million internally displaced persons. Their rehabilitation cannot be achieved in time for the elections. If it was, the people would most certainly vote against him.
To score some cheap votes from the families and loved ones of the 291 girls abducted about a year earlier, the President came up with an inexcusably laughable "ray of hope", to the effect that since terrorists had not displayed the corpses of the girls, it meant they were still alive! What kind of logic is this? How puerile can a President in desperation get!
Suddenly, the electricity tariff was slashed in half, less than two weeks before elections! Given the way things are done in Nigeria, the ridiculous 50% reduction cannot be effected before Nigerians vote President Jonathan out of office. In any case, where is the power supply for which the tariff has been slashed? Even the Presidential Villa has huge standby generators and large stock of diesel for use when public power supply is cut off without warning. Nigeria still remains the world's largest importer of power generators on earth.
For all practical purposes, the President relocated to the Southwest, the zone which helped him win the 2011 elections. Thinking that the traditional rulers and opinion leaders are up for sale, he embarked on what an insider described a "a dollar rain"! The first set of opinion leaders humoured the President with assurances of "endorsement" even when they are quite sure that no one was going to vote for any candidate because they were bribed to make ridiculous and empty public statements. All of this chicanery was going on well until the dollar train reached Ijebu Ode. It was at this stop that the indomitable Awujale of Ijebu Ode and the paramount ruler of Ijebuland, told the confused President what others previously visited ought to have told him; namely that traditional rulers do not canvass votes for politicians. God bless the Awujale for saving the face of the proud Yoruba people. It is surprising that Mrs Jonathan failed to raise an alarm when her husband proceeded on this charade that "this dollars you are sharing, there is God o!"
The laughable theatre of the absurd continued with the commissioning of an overhead bridge in Kano! This President certainly has a warped sense of the duty of his high office. The commissioning of an over-head bridge ought not to fall on the laps of a serious President who is aware of his status and the responsibilities of his office. He went ahead to name the over-head bridge after the highly respected late Emir of Kano, thinking perhaps that the people of Kano would vote for him and his indecent, clumsy and illegal ouster of the present Emir of Kano, the cerebral and fearless Lamido Sanusi.
Whilst the President was disgracing himself and his high office, the fellows who had put their mouths in the over drive mode continued. They spoke like medical experts. One even put on the toga of a prophet, predicting all sorts of nonsense. The President's wife, who is irrepressible and unbeatable when it comes to indecent conduct, overreached herself when she ordered the electorate to stone those with a different political persuasion. In civilized climes, that woman would have been arrested for inciting violence. But in Nigeria, that would be the day.
Key officials and members of APC, who are not candidates in the forth-coming elections received more than their fair share of slanderous attacks. No more can be said or written about this issue because it is sub judice. Illiterate or at best semi-literate political jobbers started parading themselves as spoke persons for the Yoruba race! One sunny March day, these rascals took over the ever-busy Ikorodu road and enacted truly horrific brigandage. They wanted Prof Jega out of office, so that their sponsors can appoint a malleable and spineless man to do their bidding by manipulating to process to produce a dubious victory for President Jonathan.
Unfortunately, the contrived postponement also gave Nigerians the opportunity to expose some of the illegal and indecent acts of President Jonathan. Perhaps the public would not have gotten to know about the scandalous land grab, for which President Jonathan obtained approval from one of his own appointees. An area set aside for the future expansion of the international airport and appropriately one Ebele Integrated Farms mistook name "Aviation village" for an "agricultural village"!
The era of President Jonathan and the PDP is over. The postponement of the general elections has not achieved the desired objective. The President should immediately commence the evacuation of his personal belongings from the Villa. Bye President Jonathan!

WASHINGTON - In a tragic new marker of the rising cost of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army's suicide rate has jumped significantly, according to a report released yesterday at the Pentagon.
As soldiers and families coped with repeated combat tours and long separations, the Army said that 115 soldiers took their own lives in 2007, a rate of about 17 per 100,000 soldiers. The Army said the suicide rate among a comparable civilian population is 19.5 suicides per 100,000.
But broader Defense Department studies show that suicides among all military personnel in Iraq, including Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps personnel, occur at a rate of about 24 per 100,000, significantly above the civilian rate.

He Watches at All lyrics song by Boomtown Rats
Here is the song lyric of Boomtown Rats : and you can also sing and watch music video
He bought and sold a video
Made a fortunein between
A thousand well-known faces
Passed across that stupid screen
He turned them down
He never thought they had so much to say
He watched those faces come and go
Up close
He saw the strain
And he watches it all
Yes he watches it all
Someone broke into his house last night
It's strange they didn't take a thing
Someone broke into his house last night
But still it feels like they took everything
Home is where the head is
Home is where the demons all come out to play
Home is where you hide yourself at night
And home is where you feel safe
And still he watches it all
He watches it all
And it's small
It all seems small
Did you read it in the Sunday paper?
The headline called him the 'Sailors Deacon'
He fell in love with the lighthouse keeper
Spends his time bringing home the beacon
He bought and sold a video
Made a fortune in between

Bytecoin Mining 7950: The Affluence Network – The On-Demand Currency
Thank you for visiting TAN in looking for "Bytecoin Mining 7950" online. It should be hard to get more little increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be accurate: having little increases is more rewarding than trying to fight up to the peak. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it's better to take a look at novels than wait for order confirmation when you believe the price is going down. Secondly, there is more volatility and reward in currencies that have not made it to the profitableness of sites like Coinwarz. You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. When you learn to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you get the uptrend will never drop! Always will go down! Viewers incremental profits are more reliable and profitable (most times) It was in the year 2008 when the first cryptocurrency was created. This was the digital currency referred to as Bitcoin. There are different from common currency we know. It is because they are not commanded by any nation or government. They don't go through any third party. It was a huge breakthrough in the means of exchange. Additionally, it brought tremendous solutions to the issues of identity theft online. Transactions go through several celebrations as a way of creating trust, but today it is possible to create trust through creation of a complicated code by just one party. Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to research possibilities for making huge ammonts of money with various kinds of internet marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin design provides an informative example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an astonishing intellectual and technical accomplishment, and it has created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and miss out on very lucrative business models made accessible because of the growing use of blockchain technology. It's certainly possible, but it must be able to recognize opportunities regardless of market behaviour. The market moves in relation to price BTC … So even if it's in a BTC tendency down can make money by purchasing the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be alright.
Bytecoin Mining 7950: The Affluence Network: Everybody Wins
As one of the earliest forms of making money is in money lending, it is true that you can do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites currently focus on company of Bitcoin, but I'm sure there will be one or two who'll already have arrived in/nearby that will give other monies. Some sites are currently outside: valves: these are sites where you fill in a captcha after a certain time period and are rewarded with a small amount of coins for that faucet. You can see the www.cryptofunds.co web site to find some lists of pat into the currency of your choice in the Knowledge Base section. Some sites of pat include: Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have quite different dynamics. The new ones are constantly popping up which means they don't have a lot of market data and historical outlook for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have fairly inferior liquidity as well. How to develop a decent strategy and test it in the light of these issues? Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which suggests the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Many people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the quantity of bitcoins that are actually circulating in the exchanges. In addition, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Therefore, even the most diligent buyer couldn't buy all present bitcoins. This situation is not to imply that markets will not be exposed to price manipulation, yet there is no need for big amounts of cash to move market prices up or down. The slightest events in the world market can affect the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive. Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but they also get involved in more complicated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of people consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits innovative dispute mediation services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment systems, the blockchain consistently leaves public evidence a transaction happened. This can be potentially used in an appeal against companies with deceptive practices. This mining activity validates and records the trades across the entire network. So if you are attempting to do something illegal, it is not wise because everything is recorded in the public register for the rest of the world to see forever. Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, worldwide, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there's no authorities, banks, or any regulatory agencies. Therefore, it is more immune to crazy inflation and corrupt banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the protection and privacy hazards. Security and seclusion can readily be attained by simply being intelligent, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't set your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fastened by removing any identity of ownership from the wallets and thereby keeping you anonymous. When searching forBytecoin Mining 7950, there are many things to think of.
Bytecoin Mining 7950 – The Affluence Network: Rich, Richer
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about Bytecoin Mining 7950. In the case of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it could perhaps be traded like a thing. Supporters of cryptocurrencies say that this kind of virtual money is not controlled by a key banking system and is not thus subject to the vagaries of its inflation. Since there are always a restricted number of items, this money's price is founded on market forces, allowing homeowners to industry over cryptocurrency trades. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put in circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to make more. The mining process is what produces more of the coin. It may be useful to think of the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are the same. Mining crypto coins means you will really get to keep the full benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your likelihood of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have greater possibility of solving a block, but the reward will be split between all members of the pool, depending on the amount of "shares" won.
If you are thinking about going it alone, it really is worth noting the applications settings for solo mining can be more complex than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter course. This option also creates a stable stream of earnings, even if each payment is small compared to entirely block the reward. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. Put simply, its backers contend that there is "real" worth, even through there is absolutely no physical representation of that worth. The worth increases due to computing power, that is, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time frame which is worth an ever diminishing amount of money or some sort of wages in order to ensure the deficit. Each coin consists of many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are exactly to authenticate other transactions, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which can be one of the appealing aspects of the coin. The blockchain is where the public record of trades resides.
The fact that there is little evidence of any growth in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal attempts to regulate it. The reason for this could be simply that the marketplace is too little for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory attempt. It is also possible that the regulators simply do not comprehend the technology and its consequences, awaiting any developments to act. Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you take a look at a particular address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there's no digital information held in it, like in the exact same manner a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It really is only a representation of value, but there's no real tangible type of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They would not have spending limits and withdrawal constraints enforced on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their riches will be managed. If you are in search of Bytecoin Mining 7950, look no further than The Affluence Network.

The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the various nodes of the network has become the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), including companies that provide long distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local pipe, which finally links in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through one of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private firms, and occasionally by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and companies who desire to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the data to stream without interruption, in the appropriate location at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations "possesses" the Internet together these firms decide how it functions, and recognized rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is happening to ascertain how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs permission from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone for connecting to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to work on the problem and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you've got someone to call to get it mended. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in place and service level agreements, which regulate the way in which these problems are solved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't governed by any centered firm. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a committed advocate badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works present constitutional difficulties to an individual. Blockchain technology has none of that. Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too fast, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could improve drastically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the whole platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the raising costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can lead to an adverse change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based business which could result in business being unable to continue to operate or to discontinue operation. Many individuals would rather use a money deflation, particularly people who need to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Monetary privacy, for instance, is excellent for political activists, but more problematic when it comes to political campaign financing. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in trade; should you be living paycheck to paycheck, it'd happen included in your wealth, with the rest reserved for other currencies. For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not crucial to comprehend how the process operates in and of itself, but it is simply crucial that you comprehend that there's a process of mining to create virtual money. Unlike currencies as we understand them today where Authorities and banks can only select to print endless numbers (I 'm not saying they're doing so, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining program, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation. You have probably heard this many times where you typically spread the great word about crypto. "It's not erratic? What goes on if the price failures? " So far, many POS devices provides free conversion of fiat, alleviating some issue, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, most of the people is going to be unwilling to put up any. We must find a way to fight the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies.

For Franklin Street homeowners, this 'cruise' is no carnival
By Bob Maginnis
I pulled my old pick-up into the curbside space at the corner of East Franklin and Locust streets at about 10 p.m., and had just slammed the door when I heard the sound of screeching tires.
I backed away from the truck, anticipating a crash, but the skidding vehicle just slid to a stop at the red light, to be joined by two dozen more mostly new vehicles, all shining brightly under the glare of the orange-colored sodium-vapor streetlights. Then the light turned green, and off they went.
Twenty-five years ago, I lived in this block, in a row house owned by Isabelle Fridinger, who'd set me up with an apartment after my boss, the late George Rash, told her I was new in town, living at the YMCA and not enjoying it much.
The street was mostly rentals then, older people and young couples with children. In the summer evenings I sometimes sat on the porch with one of my neighbors, a retired limestone cutter who had lung trouble, as he listened to Orioles' games on a tiny transistor radio.

Costly mistakes loosen New Zealand's grip
New Zealand 6 for 262 (Redmond 83) v Australia
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
A large opening total in Adelaide is essential to remain in the contest, but New Zealand's top and middle orders wasted their opportunity with a rash of loose shots on the way to 6 for 262 at stumps. Aaron Redmond's two-paced 83 gave the tourists a strong base in between bouts of thoughtlessness that prevented them from staging the type of start needed to frighten Australia, who lead the two-game series 1-0.
The bowlers were steady with occasional bright patches, but all that was required was to wait for mistakes from a line-up that switched from defensive to casual and reckless. Redmond found the correct mix in his career-best score until he lost his mind briefly by slogging to deep midwicket and Jamie How, Jesse Ryder and Peter Fulton experienced similar lapses.
Life was satisfying for New Zealand at lunch when they were 1 for 101, but two wickets fell within half an hour of the interval and Fulton (29) pulled the medium pace of Andrew Symonds to Simon Katich before tea to un-do his 64-run recovery with Ross Taylor. Brendon McCullum, who was 30 not out, and Daniel Vettori (12) negotiated a difficult last hour, but by then the side had already lost too many specialists.
All of the top eight reached double figures, with only Redmond passing fifty. Don't expect Australia to be so generous when it is their turn. On this pitch first-up scores of 400 are considered small and the surface offered few problems with movement despite encouraging clouds in the morning. Each time New Zealand, who will move to eighth on the ICC rankings with a loss, threatened to escape they slipped back with an error.
The offspinner Nathan Hauritz benefitted twice from the risky shot selection in the same way Jason Krejza did in Nagpur. Redmond, who was defensive for much of the first session, changed faces when Hauritz arrived before lunch and by the end of the offspinner's first over had rushed to a half-century with a cut for four and two slog-swept sixes to the short square boundary.
Hauritz's surprise return to Test action - he was not included in New South Wales' match last week - meant he started the day as the luckiest cricketer in the country, but that view was changing as he went for 29 in his first three. As quickly as he seemed to be heading out of the attack, Hauritz's fortunes swung again when Ryder, on 13, decided to swipe him to a diving Michael Clarke at midwicket in the over after lunch.
Ricky Ponting kept Hauritz, who was in his first Test in four years, operating and another gift arrived when Redmond tried for a third six and found Symonds running around just inside the boundary at deep midwicket. Redmond was shocked to have faltered so badly and almost froze as Symonds found the ball. When Redmond wasn't defending he was usually looking to slash or push through cover and point, where 11 of his boundaries came, and it was a more effective approach.
New Zealand could have been in a worse position if Matthew Hayden, playing his 100th Test, collected a sharp take to his right when Fulton edged an attempted drive at Hauritz on 9, or if Brett Lee had not over-stepped when Taylor was caught at cover by Symonds when 5. Taylor was in fine touch on the way to 44 before he was unlucky to be lbw to Stuart Clark with the ball expected to head well over the stumps.
The Australians, having learned from India, were able to find reverse-swing after tea and Lee was the main beneficiary when he bowled Daniel Flynn for 11. Taking the ball away from the left-hander early in the over, Lee moved one back sharply and the ball brushed Flynn's pad before hitting the stumps.
Lee was one of four bowlers to take a wicket while Hauritz, whose opening came when Krejza hurt his ankle at training this week, had figures of 2 for 63 from 13 overs in an admirable recovery. However, his eventful day continued when he turned his left ankle while fielding at fine leg and he did not bowl after tea.
Mitchell Johnson collected the only breakthrough of the first session when he won a battle of patience with How (16). How fell to a poor misjudgment when he drove wildly at another wide ball from Johnson, who watched the edge go to the wicketkeeper Brad Haddin. His team-mates did not learn the lesson.

You can change the name of "named objects" (such as layers, blocks, linetypes, etc.) with the RENAME command. It brings up a dialog listing the object category on the left, the specific object types on the right, and two fields at the bottom for the old and new name. After you select an instance to rename (wildcards such as * work to select multiple instances) and have entered in the new name, you have two options. Clicking "rename to" applies the change to the selected objects and leaves the dialog box open for more selections. Clicking "OK" applies the change and exits the command. (I'm not sure why they didn't just have an "apply" button like most other dialogs of this nature.) This tool should be used with care, since most of the objects here are usually defined in accordance with company standards & shouldn't be modified, but it's nevertheless a useful command to know.

Kate, this was quite good. I am using AutoCAD since version 12 (DOS and WIN3.1)in India. Since I also do a lot of programming using AutoCAD as an ActiveX object, I could send you some interesting stuff mostly about Layer Manager, Exporting Layers from one drawing to another etc. if you wish.

This Painting has just SOLD! So exciting, it sold before it even was shown at the Collective Exhibition in New York this March (Sensorial Realities) it will be replaced with "Arrival of Spring" This is my interpretation of one of my photographs taken in the grounds of the Authur Findlay College where I love to go regularly and thanks to my first visit there August 2006 I started to paint. I have a great love of nature and am acutely aware always of the energy inherent in all things When I paint I listen to classical music, and I would love to be able to upload the piece I listen to when I paint my trees, Vivaldi's Four Seasons. I am going to make it my business to find out! Thanks for visiting! Lizzy :-)

Under their guidance and insight he completed the 800 hour training program. He studied topics ranging from the nature of awareness to functional, developmental & structural movement to the self image and its development to the principles and strategies of learning to self -use and to be connected to others through kindness and awareness.
Jamie brings to his Feldenkrais classes a relaxed, open, kind and spacious presence due to all the learning and contemplating through the patience, kindness and pristine clarity of Lama Mark.
Previous to his Feldenkrais studies, Jamie began studying BuddhaDharma and meditation with Lama Mark Webber and the Ven. Namgyal Rinpoche. He was Lama Mark's personal attendant for five years starting in January 2001, traveling with him worldwide to many retreats and teachings. Lama Mark supported him to teach awareness through movement classes to his students in retreat within the first year of Jamie's Feldenkrais studies. From thereon Jamie has continued to be an attendant to Lama Mark, occasionally assist in his scientific research, be his teacher's assistant in Movement lessons during meditation retreats and has for a number years combined classes of Dharma and Feldenkrais. Jamie has completed a number of short and multi-month retreats both self-directed and under the guidance of Lama Mark.
