One thing South Africans do well is public holidays. I've been enjoying one of many, and apparently we just got another. The 27 of Dec has just been declared a new public holiday. Just not sure what for? Spent the whole time clearing out the garage in huge anticipation of the 'studio' renovation due to take place early next year. And a little time spent looking for inspiration. Found this on photographer James Geer's website.

I look forward to continuing to achieve great results in partnership with their firm now and in the future.Rob Groscop, ARM, AIC
Sedgwick CMS has worked with Brown & Carlson for over 10 years handling workers compensation claims. I have attended numerous Mediations with Jeff Carlson and found him very helpful in getting cases resolved well under our client's authority. I find him a great negotiator and very experienced in his field. I've worked with Tom Maguire very extensively and find him very professional, informed, and creative in resolving claims. I've also enjoyed working with Gina Uhrbom and Tim Manahan. We have a number of clients that have chosen Brown & Carlson to represent them and we find their firm very professional, well respected and helpful in reducing litigation costs. Any time we call for a general question, they are always very pleasant and willing to assist.Cindy L . Weingart
I have been very impressed with the outcomes Brown & Carlson has been able to obtain and their overall file handling. I am very appreciative of their documentation and communication skills. Brown & Carlson keeps us informed throughout the process, and works closely with our management team to make sure our matters are handling in the best possible manner.Kim Homick

You will be picked up early in the morning and transferred to the Palenque ruins. You will have 2 hours to visit these beautiful ruins hidden in the jungle on your own. Then you will be transferred to Misol-ha where you will spend 30 minutes. The last stop will be at Agua Azul where you will have 1 hour and 30 minutes to freely explore this beautiful area. After seeing these 3 beautiful attractions, you will be transferred to San Cristobal which is about a 4-5 hour drive, so be prepared for a VERY LONG but VERY EXCITING and BEAUTIFUL DAY AS WELL.
- Palenque Ruins: The ancient Mayan city of Palenque is one of Mexico's most breath-taking archaeological parks surrounded by lush tropical forest and jungle. This site has a serene, mystical atmosphere. From the moment you enter, you feel engulfed by a sense of history, timelessness and awe. Explore the site on foot and climb up the pyramids for great views of the ancient city and the jungle. (approx. 2 hours)
- Agua Azul Waterfalls: Rio Xumul-Ha (meaning River of Blue Water, or in Spanish, Agua Azul) features a series of torrential cascades and fast flowing waters rolling down a limestone ridge to form pools and small streams. Take a one-hour walk next to the falls in the breath-taking green valley and swim in one of the calm parts of the refreshing blue river. (approx. 60 - 90 minutes)
- Misol-Ha Waterfall: River Misol-Ha (meaning "Streaming Water"), in the "Chol Maya" tribe area of Chiapas, creates one of the state's most wonderful natural sights as the river glides off the edge of a cliff and 40 meters down into a deep pool of water surrounded by lush vegetation. Swim in the deliciously refreshing water and be impressed by the sight of the fall from below. A small walkway will take you behind the water curtain created by the waterfall where you can walk inside the caves. (approx. 30 - 45 minutes)

Factory teams resume hostilities on Vryburg 400
information supplied by: Cross Country Commission (Media)
30 August 2013
The resumption of hostilities between the Toyota and Ford factory teams will dominate the Production vehicle category at the Vryburg 400, round six of the Donaldson Cross Country Championship, on September 6 and 7.
Three wins on the trot have taken Team Castrol Toyota Hilux crew Anthony Taylor and Dennis Murphy into a tenuous 10 point lead in both the overall and premier SP Class championships. Taylor and Murphy have edged ahead of Ford Racing pair Chris Visser and Japie Badenhorst and the title chases look to have developed into a straight race between the two crews.
Toyota lead Ford 3-2 in terms of wins this season while Visser and Badenhorst have been models of consistency with five podium finishes and a win on the Nkomazi 400 earlier in the season. The other win went to Lance Woolridge and Ward Huxtable in the second works Ford Ranger and the Pietermaritzburg crew, along with reigning champions Duncan Vos and Rob Howie in the second Castrol Toyota Hilux, have important supporting roles to play in the battle raging between the two championship leading crews.
Team Castrol Toyota has also thrown Leeroy Poulter and Elvéne Coetzee into the mix. Poulter will join Giniel de Villiers in the Imperial Toyota team in next year's Dakar Rally, and they will want to give him as much competitive seat time as is possible.
If there is one factor that could tip the scales ever so slightly in favour of Visser and Badenhorst it is the return of national cross country racing to North West Province. Visser grew up just down the road from Vryburg, and he and a crop of other drivers who cut their racing teeth in farm pick-up trucks will be licking their lips in anticipation of a return to old stamping grounds.
Other North West crews include Visser's brother Jannie and Joks le Roux (RFS Toyota Hilux), Hugo de Bruyn and Henri Hugo (Micaren Exel Toyota Hilux) and Malcolm Kock and Johan Burger in the Kock and Sons Toyota Hilux. All three crews hold down places in the top 10 in the championships and, along with Gary Bertholdt and Siegfried Rousseau (Atlas Copco Nissan Navara) and Christiaan du Plooy/Henk Janse van Vuuren (RFS BMW X3), look to be the biggest privateer threat to the factory teams.
Consistency has lifted Johan van Staden and Mike Lawrenson, in the Atlas Copco Toyota Hilux, into fourth place in the championship ahead of Bertholdt/Rousseau who have been hurt by two non finishes. Bertholdt and Rousseau, however, look to have found extra pace in the new Nissan Navara while du Plooy and Janse van Vuuren will be aiming for a strong finish to the season.
After a disappointing year so far the Regent Racing Nissan Navara squad will be looking for decent results. Mike Whitehouse and Mathew Carlson are the team's only top 10 representatives and along with Terence Marsh/Gerhard Schutte and Jurgen Schroder and Michael Abrahamson will be under a little pressure to turn potential into meaningful returns.
In the other car running under the Regent Racing banner, the Imperial Automotive Nissan Navara, Archie Rutherford will be partnered by Jonty Rhodes. The cricket legend returns for a second helping of cross country racing after sitting alongside Rutherford on the Gold 400 at the end of last season.
Dakar Rally quad racing hero Sarel van Biljon, partnered by Philip Herselman in the Atlas Copco Toyota Hilux, will again come under scrutiny while Free State pair Louw de Bruin and Riaan Greyling (Ruwacon Ford Ranger) will be top 10 candidates.
Championship leaders Jason Venter and Vincent van Allemann (Trysome Toyota Hilux) will start slight favourites in Class D. The pair will come under pressure from Mpumalanga brothers Johan and Werner Horn (Malalane Toyota Land Cruiser).
The Horns won at Sun City and the Vryburg return match is loaded with potential. Consistency has again kept Jack and Sarel Oosthuizen (LMC Land Rover) in the championship hunt and reliability will be their main weapon, while Diederik Hattingh/Gary Austin will be looking for good result in a Ford Ranger.
Class E championship leader Dirk Putter, reunited with regular co-driver Koos Claasens in the Ford Ranger, will be looking to return to winning ways. Putter, with Sarel Kriel standing in for Claasens, failed to finish in the Pilanesberg and a maiden win will have given Douglas Fear and Kurt de Villiers (Brytons Removals Toyota Hilux) a boost in confidence.
Race headquarters and the designated service point will be located at the Vryburg Motor Club with free public entry to these areas and spectator points along the route. Qualifying will start at 12:00 on September 6 and the race at 08:30 on September 7.

Hi Folk:
Have any of you been involved in implementing SPM in the classic BW fashion (i.e. no JAVA, standard DSO instead of "direct update" filled by BAdI's). I am pretty sure a couple of large companies were attempting it a couple years ago, but I have been out of touch with the technology for a couple of years. Any help, documentation, corporate contacts would be appreciated.

When disaster strikes, we initially focus on the aftermath of what just happened; but attention (and scrutiny) quickly turns to the disaster response. We've seen this most recently with the Gulf Coast oil spill from a BP rig (full disclosure: IEG has done work for a BP business unit), as both BP and the government struggle to stop the spill and limit the inevitable environmental damage. As bad as the actual problem is, a bad or failed response is almost worse. more

Instructions are minimal but its quite easy to figure out how to install the components. I put this on a 7.2 FX and it worked instantly.
Hooked up so the magnets are read by the sensors but it does not work. Don't wast your time and money.

My store did not give me a manual, stating it was useless. I have searched the web for some time b=now and cannot find it. I rode at night and could not see it. One source says it has backlight. Where? How?

I bought this combo package for my new Trek DS 8.6 which includes a built-in location for the sensors in the left chain stay. It works perfectly after my LBS and corrected it. I used the provided middle AND small size cadence magnet bands, but then had to also add my own plastic shim to push the magnet another 3 mm closer to the sensor in the chain stay. The biggest provided band was just too close, it hit the chain stay. So cadence monitoring was working very well. However my package only included one spoke speed magnet, the aero dynamic one meant for carbon bikes. So it was not getting picked up consistently, just intermittently. I noticed the problem when comparing my speed data with a smartphone GPS app. I took it to the LBS, and the mechanic instantly saw the problem and replaced the spoke speed magnet with the correct cylinder shaped magnet intended for alloy bikes. I also knew I had the wrong part by looking up and downloading the latest PDF manual from Bontrager's website. It indicates that both spoke speed magnet types are included in the package. So perhaps newer products have this update. So by looking online, and asking for help from the LBS, this combo package works perfectly and I'm very happy with it. One thing to note, while the DuoTrap S sensors provide both BLE and Ant+ data simultaneously, the Trip 300 only receives ant+ data.

The very best thing about this combo is that it is built-in (on my Trek 7.2 FX), and works flawlessly. I'm a data driven kind of guy and have found having this info automatically available to be highly motivating and rewarding. I'm most focused on distance, but refer to speed often too. Best of all I can monitor and adjust my cadence. As I mentioned it took 1 trip to my LBS to get it adjusted (added a shim on cadence pedal magnet) and it works great.
- Total Distance Traveled

- Tracking My Fitness
I bought this from the Trek dealer when I purchaed my bike. They installed it and told me it was good to go. My first ride my average MPH was reading 9-10. ? I knew that was wrong, because I typically average 15-16 MPH. Also, CAD read "0" the entire trip, so I was never able to monitor my cadence. I took the bike back to another Trek store (figuring the previous one didn't know what they were doing), sure enough the mechanic acknowleged it was not working right. He "re-paired" the digital display with the sensors and showed me it was now working. I took off from that shop on a ride with my buddies, as soon as we took off CAD read "0". I have a frame built for this computer. The wireless signal is simply not strong enough on this device. Too bad because it offers so much. I'm taking it back and putting my money towards something that actually works. MapMyRide is actually more accurate...believe it or not.

Democracy was invented to use peaceful means rather than violence to resolve differences over a society's governance. This is hard work. It requires voters to bring a peacefulness to elections even when a political campaign tries to inflame passions over issues that suggest a lack of peace in people's lives. When violence does erupt in a campaign, as during recent rallies for GOP candidate Donald Trump, citizens must ask again what they can do to ensure peacefulness.
It is not enough to point fingers over campaign-related violence. Yes, a candidate's rhetoric of fear may stir hatred of others. Mr. Trump is not the only candidate to do that. Or a candidate may threaten physical retaliation, as Trump has wrongfully done. Protesters, too, may simply be disrupting a rally with the aim to trigger a confrontation for the publicity, as has happened to several of the candidates.
Such tactics are reflective of a widening dislike among Americans for those of different political beliefs. A recent Pew survey found most voters see political opponents as "so misguided they threaten the nation's well-being." A large minority of Republicans and Democrats would even be upset if one of their children married someone of a different party.
The causes for this gulf are many. But perhaps the main one is that threats to peace are seen differently. The 2016 presidential campaign, with its non-establishment candidates, has focused on a wide range of threats, such as income inequality, foreign Muslims, free trade, and loose border controls. The election, as it should, will determine which issues will be addressed by the next president.
But a campaign's portrayal of threats should not unsettle the calm goodwill of citizens in sustaining a democracy rooted in the peaceful resolution of differences. This lesson was brought home last week by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during an official state visit to the White House.
Mr. Trudeau said in elections in Canada – where one in five citizens was not born in the country – the people find it hard to sustain anger and fear for very long, as they generally like their neighbors.
"Fear is easy. Friendship? That takes work," he said. His words echo a recent comment by German Chancellor Angela Merkel about Europe's debate over Muslim migrants: "Fear is not a good adviser."
Voters must bring their own peace to an election, more so than seeking peace from its result. They can be respectful, listening, or even conciliatory toward political opponents – and demand the same of their preferred candidates. Democracy has been around long enough to show most people operate from such qualities. A few minor cases of campaign violence are a reminder why they must constantly be expressed.

Are there any good books that would both given a good overview of coding concepts and explain the basics of coding? (I.E. Coding for Dummies)
There are hundreds of books about coding, languages, and theory out in the world right now. There may be a few straight basics beginners books out there, and by all means, if you are a visual learner, or you just feel more comfortable learning from books you should be able to find them with a quick google search. (If you want to become a programer - prepare to have 90% of your questions answered with 'google it')
Like any good question in tech, it is about to be answered with more questions and possibly derailed. I'm sure other folks will give you actual lists of books, but I am mostly going to answer the part of your question that is about pursuing a career in coding.
Do you know what kind of languages you want to learn? Technologies? Have you tried programming at all yet? Do you have an idea of the kinds of things you would like do once you are a programmer (i.e. games, mobile apps, websites...)
The reason I ask, is because the best way to learn programming basics, is to jump in and start programming. Any book you use should start by showing you how to get into some kind of development environment, and it should make you practice writing and running code. Steer clear of theory books until you absolutely need them. They are just going to clutter your thinking when you are getting started.
If you know you are going to want to learn Python, grab a book that intends to teach you python basics. If you are game hungry, I just saw one called 'Learn how to program with Minecraft' that I might pick up myself. If you prefer javascript, pick up something on javascript basics, and if you want to learn mobile apps - there are books for that too.
Before you buy, (Forget Amazon - go to a bookstore or library!) take a look at how they are presenting the information. Don't start in the middle of the book - (that will seem really foreign to you now, but you'll get it later) Read the first couple of pages. If it seems friendly, and you get excited to start right away - That is the right book for you.
That said (and here comes the derailment) you might get a lot more leverage out of some free programming websites. What you are ultimately looking for is experience. Experience shapes the depth and breadth of your coding career - so the more experience you get - the more potential your career will have. I recommend saving the books for later.
Getting on Khan Academy is a great place to start (and its totally free, though if you can donate a spare $5 for them - you are getting a lot of value for your money). Run though the computer programming exercises. Take your time. Play, hack, change values, experiment with what you can do using their system, break your code and see if you can figure out how to fix it. Doing this much up front will absolutely help you find out if you even like coding (possibly saving your book buying money for the best cat calendar ever). When you want to get a little more in-depth, there are a few popular websites that will give you a decent step by step on how to build your own website (I am totally biased towards Epicodus's www.learnhowtoprogram.com. It's the website of a bootcamp style school I went to, but their entire curriculum is online for free! Vids, text, cheatsheets... The only thing you don't get is the culture and the tests).
You could also go straight for a particular language. There are plenty of free or semi free sites for that as well (learn python the hard way is pretty good, and they have a similar one for ruby and javascript) but here's the thing... Do not try to become an expert in one language and then sell yourself as a programmer. You are a novice (I am assuming based on your question). You will be a novice for years. You will sometimes feel like a novice - even when you hold the title 'Senior.' My current boss likes to say, "it's a marathon not a sprint." (which will be really funny when you learn about Agile development) What you want to do is learn the basics of a language and play with it till you get the gist... Then go play with another language. Then build a website using another language. Then build another one with another language... Then add something crazy to it like making people log into it. Learn version control... Go to meetups. Get help. Search for stuff on stackoverflow.com. Then... if you feel like you still need to crack a book, you will know what book you need, and you will already be well on your way to your new career in coding.
Good Luck! I hope you and anyone else with this question finds a way in. Getting into coding was the best decision of my life!
The types of books I would recommend completely depend on what type of programming you want to get into. One of my favorite resources for python is Learning Python the Hard way (https://learnpythonthehardway.org) and for C you can also checkout Learning C the Hard way (https://learncodethehardway.org/c/). I also really like The C Programming Language (https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Language-Brian-W-Kernighan/dp/0131103628). I attended a software engineering school in San Francisco, and these resources came in super handy.

Decorated Vase Flowers
July 30, 2010 • Vase Flowers
Nature has blessed us with a very beautiful creation named Flowers. They are the most wonderful and charming things on Earth. They develop an environment around themselves which changes everyone's mood. Their pleasant fragrance and lovely look attract everyone's attention towards them.
Flowers are the best gift you can give to someone on a special occasion. They fit into being the most suitable and appropriate gift for every occasion. Whether it is a Wedding occasion or it is a birthday, gifting flower is the best gift you can give someone. They are a perfect way to express each and every feeling which you feel for the people concerned to the occasion. There are many florists in Canada but Calgary flowers are the best florist who provides arrangements for all kind of occasions. They have been serving the city from many years and have satisfied their valued customers by providing fresh and properly arranged floral services.
Flowers are available in many different colors which can brighten up your day. Each color has a meaning of its own and each flower is for a particular occasion. People send each other gifts to share the feeling of happiness for the occasion. These gifts are priceless for the person receiving them, as they always remind him/her of the occasion and people who gave the gift to them.
Vase is type of accessory made up of glass or any such material, which is used to place as well as arrange flowers. A Vase can also be crafted as per required to make it look attractive. Vases are available in many different shapes and sizes which can be selected as per the requirement. Their crystal look makes them look very beautiful object.
However, the beauty of the Vase can further be improved by putting flowers in it. In this type of floral arrangement a bunch of cut flowers are put in the vase. Then the Vase is decorated using some decorating material to make it look attractive. Adding Different and colorful flowers in the Vase will enhance the beauty of the Vase.
While putting the flowers in the vase one thing must be kept in mind. The size of the flowers and the vase must match. They must complement each other in size which will make the vase look appropriate. If the size of the flowers and vase are inappropriate, this will make an unsuitable match.
You can buy Vase flowers from Toronto flowers, which provides the best service in the city. They also offer delivery of the floral arrangements to particular place and time with no delays.

Re-enlistment time & lateral moves
Just touching my 3 year mark
currently an 0352 Cpl. About to pick up SGT.
I have a reenlistment package ready for
im also looking at helicopter crew chief
I have my roots set down pretty good on the east coast, would hope to stay here but know how the corps works.
Weighing on the benefits of staying in and lat move or following through with state highway patrol.
What do you think?

Will add my two cents, for what they're worth. Remember, my views are as a retired/career Staff NCO who reenlisted 5 times. I retired in 1995 during the "don't ask/don't tell" era and have no concept of what life in todays Corps is like during the open gay and open transgender era; if that has any bearing at all on your decision to stay or go (would like to know).
Getting out is over rated. I did it after my first contract and coming off the MSG program as a watchstander. If I had stayed in, there is a good chance I would be a retired MGySgt instead of a MSgt (lost all TIS and TIG while I was out). My friends who stayed in when I got out are retired SgtMaj's, CWO's, and LDO's (major). We see former Marines all the time here regretting their decision to get out for myriad reasons (they quickly discover civilian life is not all it's cracked up to be), trying desperately to get back in, and having no success (the USMC is not interested in them). The State Highway Patrol is a gamble.
After retiring, I went into civilian healthcare (patient care at a teaching hospital). Made good money with excellent benefits and had job security. I can tell you from personal experience having worked as a career civilian and a career Marine. There is NO better job than leading Marines. You have the opportunity to do that and should take advantage of it while you can - don't throw that opportunity away.
Looking to the future when you're no longer a Marine. There is some need for EOD techs in the civilian market. But, far more opportunities in civilian aviation (my BS degree is in aviation management). Imagine there is a significant reenlistment bonus for EOD but aviation MOS's also offer decent reenlistment bonuses. Point is, give some thought about what you most likely will be doing after the USMC, and how your future MOS will benefit that.
There is some movement within the DOD to cut down on PCS moves for myriad reasons (cut down on travel costs, maintain unit cohesion, better for families, etc). Obviously, you'd be heading to MOS school somewhere shortly after reenlistment. Don't know where EOD school is but most aviation schools are in Pensacola, FL. Aviation school would be much longer than EOD school. Regardless, you should expect to be heading to Okinawa soon after graduating. Camp LeJeune was my first duty station out of MOS school. To get the full "Marine experience", you owe it to yourself to spend time on the West Coast, at Quantico VA, on OKI, in HI, or at Iwakuni Japan. Expanding your horizons is a huge part of being a Marine - take advantage of that.
Good luck Devil.

This telescope may only be used from the Cahill rooftop.
We provide the former Downs rooftop telescope as a lighter alternative to the 14-inch for users who don't want to bother with computer control, or who find the C-14's fixed location too restrictive. The C-10 does not allow CCD or wide-field observing, but can be used in most other roles.
The 10-inch has enough aperture to observe many deep-sky objects, including star clusters, nebulae, and the brightest galaxies. It should also work well on all the planets, although we have not yet tested it on Neptune. The C-10 is not at all suited for the Moon or large clusters, since it has nearly the same focal length (and therefore magnification) as the C-14 but no support for two-inch eyepieces.
The C-10's mount can be polar aligned by eye, allowing the tracking drive to keep the target centered for long observing runs. The telescope itself provides very good image quality.

Mission Statement
The mission of Auburn Thunder Soccer Association is to provide competitive youth soccer opportunities by offering a challenging and educational program, while developing a lifelong passion for the sport in all of our athletes. Our program is dedicated to the development of both individual and team skills while emphasizing leadership, character, good sportsmanship, and commitment to compete at the highest level of desired play.
The Auburn Thunder Soccer Club has a Board of Directors, consisting of a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Executive Director, Advanced League Director, Recreational League Director, Athletic Director, and League Sports Coordinator. The standing committees for the Auburn Soccer Association include the: Program Committee; Facilities, Equipment, & Concessions; Recruitment and Scholarship; Public Relations; Referee Liaison; Fundraising and Sponsorship; Tournament; Nominating; and Bylaws/Policies Committee. The guidelines and responsibilities for each committee are listed in the Club Bylaws.
The Director of Coaching and Assistant Director of Coaching oversee the coaching and training staff for the club. The Director is chosen on an annual basis by the board of directors. The assistant director of coaching is selected by the director, once he/she is appointed. The directors organize and conduct try-outs, form teams, assign coaches, develop Academy curriculum, and oversee coaching needs for all teams.
The Auburn Thunder Soccer Club originated in the fall of 1997 with five teams. The age groups ranged from U-10 to U-17 boys. At the time the club consisted of 63 players and employed six coaches. Auburn's first Director of Coaching was Louis Richard. During Louis' time at Auburn he was the Auburn University's Women's assistant coach and trained the Auburn goalkeepers as well.
In the summer of 2000, Louis left Auburn to become the goalkeeper coach at The University of Mississippi. Once Louis left, Lance Williams took over Auburn Thunder as the new Director of Coaching. Louis worked extremely hard to build a solid foundation for Thunder, and at his departure the club had grown to seven fully rostered teams. Lance stayed as the director for one year; he left in the winter of 2002 to become the Director of Coaching for the Alabama Youth Soccer Association. At this time, Louis returned as the Auburn Thunder Director of Coaching.
In summer of 2005, Louis appointed Clemson native, Matt Hooper as the new Director of Coaching for Thunder. All the while, the soccer population in Auburn is increasing rapidly. The Auburn recreational program has grown to over 400 athletes and the Auburn Thunder program is up to eight teams.
In August of 2006 ASA joins with Nearpost Soccer to host the First Annual Thunder Road Classic. The tournament brought in plenty of tourism to Auburn, Alabama and registration filled up quickly. The Auburn event proved to be popular with over 100 teams registering. Each year, the Thunder Road Classic steps up a notch and continues to bring in clubs from all over the southeast. Since the Thunder Road Classic was such a success, Thunder and Nearpost paired up again in March 2007 to host the First Annual Tiger College Showcase. This tournament brings in college scouts to watch top women's club programs compete from around the country. In recent years, Auburn Thunder has hosted their own Thunder Road Classic that thrives each year in August.
In the summer of 2008 Matt Hooper left Auburn. During Matt's time with Auburn Thunder he piloted many outreach recreational programs connecting Thunder athletes with younger recreational players. Both Academy and Skills Night continue to be successful programs in the Auburn Thunder Club.
Since 2008 Jenny Ferguson has been the Director of Coaching, most recently hiring Meghan Kemp as the Technical Director and Mac Matthews as the Coaching Education & Recruitment Director. Brent Nicks is the Auburn Thunder Goalkeeper Coach.
In 2011 and 2012 the Auburn Thunder '97 Girls made history by winning back to back Alabama State Championships at the Division 1 level. They went on to represent the club at regional play both years.
Auburn Thunder now consists of over 200 players competing in age groups from U-9 to U-18 for both boys and girls. Thunder has five Division I teams. Each year Auburn Thunder coaches continue to be impressed with the skill level its athletes bring. With the recreational program being over 800 players, the future for Auburn Thunder is very bright.

TMZ cameras caught the newly elusive Kevin Federline on his way home from dinner at Chaya Brasserie in Beverly Hills last night.
We're not sure where the FedEx is calling home since Britney kicked him out of their Malibu mansion, but he sure seemed in a hurry to get there, speeding off in a black GMC SUV.
Maybe he hocked the "'Rari" for rent money.

Lubbock Citizens Encouraged to 'Live Love Lubbock' for National Travel and Tourism Week
Did you know that in 2011, 5.23 million visitors came to Lubbock spending a total of $698.5 million? According to the report by D. K. Shifflet & Associates some of those visitors came for work, but the majority came to enjoy Lubbock's attractions, unique shops and robust dining options. With this in mind, one of the most exciting times of the year for the travel and tourism industry is about to begin. Visit Lubbock is thrilled to participate in this year's National Travel & Tourism Week taking place from Saturday, May 4 through Sunday, May 12. The Visit Lubbock Team has planned various activities in an effort to engage Lubbockites and promote the local impact of tourism.
To celebrate the tourism industry and its benefits, the U.S. Congress passed a joint resolution in 1983 to designate the first full week of May as National Travel & Tourism Week. The week is celebrated so that local citizens may become educated and excited about what their city has to offer for visitors and how the money spent by tourists positively affects the local economy.
"From shopping and dining to money spent on recreational equipment or public transportation, the power of travel and tourism is felt by a variety of industries locally," John Osborne, president and CEO of Visit Lubbock and the Lubbock Economic Development Alliance, said. "Tourism to Lubbock most directly impacts your pocketbook. As a result of travel to Lubbock, more than $455 was saved on property taxes per household in 2011."
This week, Visit Lubbock encourages citizens to "Live Love Lubbock." The first way to participate is to visit livelovelubbock.org to download the itinerary card to play the Itinerary Game. Grab family and friends, and visit as many of the participating attractions on the card as you can. By presenting the card at the participating attraction, participants will receive a special discount in honor of National Travel & Tourism Week as well as a sticker. Fill up the card with stickers throughout the week, and become eligible to win one of two "travel-specific" prizes. The itinerary card as well as the discounts will only be available during National Travel & Tourism Week: Saturday, May 4 through Sunday, May 12.
Aside from the Live Love Lubbock Itinerary Game, there will be Live Love Lubbock Daily Deals throughout the week at local restaurants and shops. These deals are only available through Visit Lubbock's social media channels, and individuals are encouraged to like or follow Visit Lubbock on Facebook and Twitter to find information about each day's location.
On Thursday, May 9, the Lubbock City Council will make a city proclamation in honor of the local impact of travel on the Lubbock economy. Also, Visit Lubbock will host the first ever Live Love Lubbock Luncheon on Tuesday, May 7 where the organization will honor and celebrate Lubbock's travel and tourism professionals. The luncheon is an invitation only event.
For more information about National Travel & Tourism Week, please visit www.ustravel.org. For more information about the Live Love Lubbock activities for the week and the Itinerary Game, please visit www.livelovelubbock.org starting Friday, May 3.
