Ridgway minor league all-stars lose at Brookville
BROOKVILLE – The Ridgway minor league all-stars had its District 10 tournament run come to an end after an 18-4, 4-inning loss to Brookville Saturday afternoon at the Brookville Area Little League complex. The game was payed under sweltering conditions with temperatures at approximately 95 degrees with the heat and humidity contributing to storms which delayed the start of the game and another set which led to a second-inning delay. Once the game got started, Brookville's bats were just as hot as the weather, scoring 12 runs in the second inning after a 3-run first frame. Brookville led 3-1 after the first inning and Brookville's leadoff hitter Seth Dunkle opened the inning with a single. Kyle Macbeth and Jack Krug walked. Aaron Park, Logan Byerly and Wyatt Griffin each walked with the bases loaded for a trio of runs for Brookville. David Cable hit into a fielder's choice for Brookville which scored Byerly. Bryce Kunzelman walked to score Griffin and Dunkle again provided a big hit for Brookville with a 3-run double which pushed Brookville's lead to 11-1. Krug, Byerly and Cole LaBenne each had RBI singles while Aaron Park roped an RBI triple to close out the inning as Brookville led 15-1. After a 2-run Brookville third inning, Ridgway began to start hitting once again. Haydn Yeager and Matt Dush singled to lead off the third. Zack Zameroski flew out to second but Yeager was able to score after Brookville made a pair of errors as they tried to double Dush off of first base. Jake Wickett then tripled which would easily score Dush for Ridgway's third run of the game. Greg Simon then doubled to bring Wickett around for another Ridgway run. Simon was 2 for 2 with one RBI for Ridgway. Ridgway's run in the first came as Wickett hit a sacrifice fly to score Zameroski. Zameroski had reached base on a 1-out single. Dush, Zameroski, Wickett and Yeager each had hits for the Ridgway minor leaguers. Those four also scored one run apiece. Ridgway finishes all-star play with a 3-2 record and as the District 10 runner-up. Ridgway won the District 10 North Division championship this season and received pins after the game.

Jorge De La Rosa pitched a two-hit shutout over six innings and Rafael Betancourt escaped a bases loaded jam in the ninth to preserve a Colorado 4-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Coors Field.
After entering the game with a two-run lead, Betancourt gave up a double to A.J. Pollock, a single to Paul Goldschmidt and a walk to Gerardo Parra.
With the bags full, pinch-hitter Miguel Montero was only able to push one run across on a groundout, and Betancourt locked down his seventh save by getting Wil Nieves to fly out to end the game.
Colorado, which pushed its winning streak to eight games, received a solo homer from Michael Cuddyer and an RBI apiece from Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki.
"We're not going to hit the longball sometimes, so sometimes we have to play small ball. We just have to play smart," Gonzalez said.
De La Rosa (2-1) struck out four and stifled Arizona's offense, which didn't push a runner past first base until the ninth inning. The Rockies will go for a three-game sweep of the D'Backs on Sunday.
Eric Chavez hit a pinch-hit two-run homer in the setback, Arizona's fourth in five games. Trevor Cahill (0-3) was tagged for all four runs -- three earned -- on six hits and three walks over seven innings of work.
Colorado got a gift in the second inning when Josh Rutledge was able to score on Reid Brignac's single into right.
Rutledge had reached with a walk and got a jump on Brignac's sharp base hit, but got caught in a run down when he made a hard turn at third base. However, catcher Neives threw wide of the man covering at third and into left field foul territory, allowing Rutledge to score easily.
"We didn't play a very good game. We made a couple errors and gave them an unearned run. We had a shaky start," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said.
The Rockies pushed their edge to 3-0 in the third. Eric Young led off with a triple and after Dexter Fowler was hit by a pitch, he stole second to put two runners in scoring position for Gonzalez.
Gonzalez's groundout to second sent Young home and Fowler to third, and Tulowitzki followed with a sac fly into left for a three-run cushion.
The lead became 4-0 in the sixth when Michael Cuddyer led the inning off with a solo blast off Cahill into the left field seats.
Arizona cut its deficit in half in the eighth off Colorado reliever Edgmer Escalona. Escalona served up a one-out single to Nieves before Chavez's pinch- hit two-run homer into the right field seats made it 4-2.
Game Notes
The Rockies won eight in a row for the first time since a 10-game streak from Sept. 3-12, 2010 ... Colorado improved to 8-0 at home, where they have outscored its opponents, 55-25 ... Arizona outfielder Cody Ross and manager Kirk Gibson were thrown out in the seventh inning. Ross threw his bat after striking out looking, prompting his ejection ... The Rockies were 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position.

29) Bird and Swine Flu
Fourteen hundred years ago, our Prophet (saas) revealed that two epidemics would spread during the End Times. In addition, the detailed information provided by our Prophet (saas) about these diseases makes it possible to identify them very easily. The diseases in question are bird and swine flu, both fatal epidemics that emerged one after the other during the years in which the signs of the End Times are taking place on an intensive basis. (Allah knows the truth.) Some hadiths on the subject read:
"Six things will happen before the Day of Judgment… Then many people will die. Two deadly sickness will spread among you, that kill in a moment and drip from the noses of sheep." (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 2:278 Fath al-Bari)
"Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will not appear until people are terrified. Earthquakes and corruption will afflict people first, and plagues will be seen… Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear at that time. Glad tidings for those who will live to see him and be his helpers. Woe to those who oppose him [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] and reject his commands." (Mari' bin Yusuf Karami Hanbali, Fawaid Fawaid al-Fikr fil Mahdi al-Montazar)
1. Milli Gazete, 04.05.2009: Watch out the swine flu
2. Yeni Şafak, 27.04.2009: Swine Flu: The world is on alarm
The A/H1N1 swine flu and AH5N1 bird flu viruses settle in the cell receptors in animals' respiratory passages. The fact that birds and pigs are the cause of these epidemics, as revealed by our Prophet (saas) and despite their having been in existence for millions of years, is further evidence that we are living in the End Times. This state of affairs has spread just as Hazrat Mahdi (as) has appeared by Allah's command.
1. Vakit, 30.04.2009: Egypt considers killing swines, 2. Star, 21.02.2005: Bird flu epidemic,
3. Sabah 27.01.2004: Migratory birds bring death, 4. Vatan 24.02.2005: Bird flue kills more rapidly than AIDS
30) A Rise In Lightning Strikes
Anas (ra): "There will be much lightning as the Judgment Day approaches…" "LIGHTING WILL SO MULTIPLY AS THE JUDGMENT DAY APROACHES THAT people will say (to one another): "WHO WAS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING YESTERDAY?" AND THEY WILL ANSWER, "LIGHTINING STRUCK THIS AND THAT PERSON YESTERDAY."(Al-Khakim, Mustadrak, 4:444)(Ahmad Diya ad-Din al-Kamushkhanawi, Ramuz al-Ahadith, 256:13)
Earthquakes will demolish your homes, AND LIGHTNING WILL BURN YOUR LIVESTOCK AND TURN THEM INTO COAL.(Nuaym Ibn Hammad; Gelecegin Tarihi (History of the Future) 4, p. 69)
One of the most interesting phenomena caused by lightning bolts was that which struck a football pitch in the Congo in 1998, resulting in the deaths of 11 players. Similarly, six people lost their lives when lightning struck a football pitch in Mexico in 2001. In addition, lightning continues to kill many people across the world and to cause enormous damage to livestock and property.

He said: The non-Arabs would prevent them. He again said: There is the possibility that the people of Syria may not send their dinar and mudd. We said: Who would be responsible for it?

And one group will fight and be killed. Prepare yourselves for The Day of Judgment when you see this. (Mari' bin Yusuf Karami Hanbali, Fawaid Fawaid al-Fikr fil Mahdi al-Montazar)

People across the world have reported seeing shooting stars as the shower crosses the earth's atmosphere, but tonight and into tomorrow morning will be the best time to view it from the UK, with up to a meteor a minute, experts claim.
Although the Perseid meteor shower is an annual event, the Royal Astronomical Society believes prospects for this year's showing are particularly good.
A meteor is seen during the Perseids meteor shower over the one of the stones of the Avebury's Neolithic henge monument in Wiltshire (PA)
The natural occurrence, which is a result of material falling from the tail of Comet Swift-Tuttle, which last passed near the Earth in 1992, will be visible to the naked eye.
Astronomer Heather Couper said: "Early tomorrow morning, that's the best time to look at it, when the earth spins in to the swarm of stuff that comes down. It is going to be great this year."
She said that she had hear reports of people seeing 30 metres an hour in recent days, but added: "Tonight it is going to go up to about one meteor a minute I guess, if the sky is clear that is. It is going to be dark as the moon is going to have set by 10.30pm, so that is great."
A meteor of the Perseids meteor shower burns up in the atmosphere behind a Catholic church near the village of Bogushevichi, some 100 km from Minsk, Belarus (EPA)
The meteors, commonly known as shooting stars, mostly appear as fleeting flashes lasting less than a second, but the brightest ones leave behind trails of vaporised gases and glowing air molecules that may take a few seconds to fade.
The Perseid meteor shower is active each year from around mid-July to late-August, but for most of that period only a few meteors an hour will be visible.

Professor Alan Fitzsimmons of Queen's University Belfast said: "Comet Swift-Tuttle won't be visiting our neck of the woods again until the year 2125, but every year we get this beautiful reminder as the Earth ploughs through the debris it leaves in its orbit.
"Every meteor is a speck of comet dust vaporising as it enters our atmosphere at 36 miles per second. What a glorious way to go."
People looking out for the meteors may also get a glimpse of larger "fireballs", according to Brendan Owens, an astronomer at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich.
A long exposure picture shows a shooting star of the Perseids meteor shower burning up in the atmosphere over a beach in Anavissos, some 50 km southeast from Athens, Greece (EPA)
He said the Earth would pass through the comet's trail like a snowplough, with material of different sizes being trapped by the planet's gravity. The larger material may fall to earth as meteorites.
"If people are extremely lucky, we can see some fireballs, which are large chunks that burn up but don't completely burn up," he said.
"Sometimes it ends up with meteorites. There is a possibility of meteorite impact but it is very small."
He added: "They also come in different colours, depending on which elements are in the meteors."

Supporting the electoral process in BangladeshNov 3, 2009
Electoral reform is an ongoing process in Bangladesh, and one that UNDP has been involved with for some time, including the unprecedented registration of 81 million voters from all walks of Bangladeshi life in 2008. Following the resounding success of this registration drive, which created a gold-standard, internationally renowned photo voter list, the Bangladesh Election Commission, with the support of UNDP and other international organizations, is working to make the process sustainable and permanent.
Indeed, updating of the rolls began just six months after last December's parliamentary election. UNDP is working with the Commission to introduce new technologies, develop the skills of electoral workers and to ensure best practices in the registration process across the country. The list itself was designed to be as simple to maintain as possible, relying on readily available technology like laptops, webcams and fingerprint scanners.
"The whole thing is very easy, we can do it without much trouble," said Mohammad Rohim Hassan, an election worker who was recently dispatched to update voter rolls in a community in the Chittagong hills. "People come in with their forms which have already been completed."
Hassan and the rest of his team then type the information into the laptop computers they travel with to registration sites, photograph the registrants and their signature and take digital copies of their fingerprints.
UNDP is also working with the Netherlands and the Election Commission to establish about 500 registration centres on the local level across the country. The centres will help the Commission's efforts to decentralize its work, improving the public's access to and interaction with local election offices.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – When the Tennessee State Tigers and Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles men's basketball programs meet, fans know what to expect; a hard-fought, physical battle that leaves both teams both physically and mentally drained.
Thursday night's match-up was no different as both squads combined for 48 fouls. The Tigers of Tennessee State took advantage of Golden Eagle turnovers to earn an 84-65 victory.
Junior forward Dennis Ogbe posted a career night, recording his first double-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds. He also blocked a career-best five shots. A native of Munich, Germany, Ogbe put together his most complete game as a Golden Eagle just hours after being named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District First-Team.
The Golden Eagles hung close for the first four minutes of the game, trailing by just one at the 16-minute mark. Tech then fell victim to a defensive purge by the Tigers, failing to score over the next five-and-a-half minutes. Tech did not record a field goal for nearly nine minutes, putting up only free throws until senior guard Jud Dillard hit a 3-pointer at the 6:32 mark of the first half.
The Tigers used a distributed attack, notching five players in double-figures for the contest. Kellen Thornton, who also put together a double-double, led TSU in rebounds with 10. He also scored 17 points to go along with 19 for Patrick Miller, 17 for Robert Covington, 11 for M.J. Rhett, and 10 for Jordan Cyphers. The game marked the first for Covington since suffering a knee injury in December.
Senior guard Jud Dillard led the Tech scoring effort, scoring 20 points and pulling down eight boards. He fouled out of the game with just under three minutes to play.
Jeremiah Samarrippas, a point guard from Bartow, Fla., scored 12 points on the night, while dishing out five assists. Freshman big man Anthony Morse posted nine points, including a career-best 7-of-10 from the charity stripe. He added five rebounds and three blocks.
Tech will return to Nashville on Saturday for another OVC East showdown when it takes on Belmont. Tip-off is slated for 7 p.m. CST.

The 26-year-old is currently on a year-long loan deal with United Arab Emirates side Al-Ain after making a shock exit from Sunderland only a season into a four-year contract, and Black Cats boss Martin O'Neill has hinted he is unlikely to return to Wearside as the UAE club attempt to thrash out a permanent deal for him.
However, despite Al-Ain chief executive Carlo Nohra having recently voiced his confidence that Gyan will stay, the man himself told Sport.360: "I'm ready to go anywhere and I need to make the right decision."

Fewer Amenities When You Fly... But Instead You'll Get A Lot More Ads!
from the can't-wait! dept
So, what do you have to look forward to on flights these days? Well, advertisements! There's a new startup that is promising to put contextual ads everywhere from your boarding pass to the check-in terminals and (we're sure) to the seatbacks in front of you on the plane. Now, of course, this idea isn't entirely new. Over in Europe discount airlines have been offering up cheap fares while making it up with all sorts of other fees and services. But, then again, no one's talking about cheap fares in the US either. In the meantime, if they're looking for ideas, I still think the flying casino may be the best idea yet. Get people to simply gamble away their money while flying across the country. However, until that comes to pass, expect worse service, fewer amenities, more fees... and tons of advertising.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Manny Ramirez has rejected yet another offer
from the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Dodgers announced Thursday night the star outfielder's agent
Scott Boras had declined the two-year $45 million offer - the club's fourth this offseason.
Dodgers owner Frank McCourt says he wants Ramirez back "but we
feel we are negotiating against ourselves."
General manager Ned Colletti and McCourt met Wednesday in Los
Angeles with Boras and offered the free-agent slugger a $25 million, one-year contract with a $20 million player option for 2010.
The offer is similar to the two-year, $45 million deal with a buyout or club option that the Dodgers put on the table in November. Ramirez refused the offer and the Dodgers withdrew their proposal. The team came back with a one-year, $25 million offer, but Ramirez turned that down as well.

Davidson-Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve
Lithonia, GA 30038
This 2,500-acre preserve is part of the Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area and includes panoramic views, trails, creeks and historic sites. The preserve also includes other large formations of exposed granite, wetlands, pine and oak forests, multiple streams, and two lakes. The rare, native plant species, such as the signature red diamorpha in the winter and fall's yellow daisies, make it seem as though the rock is in constant metamorphosis. The evidence of quarrying activities are apparent in the industrial debris left on the mountain and of the abandoned structures once used by workers for storage, offices and shelter.
Visitors can navigate the preserve through miles of hiking trails and a multi-use PATH bike trail. The trails of the Nature Preserve and Arabia Mountain are open to the public from dawn to dusk. There is no fee for parking or for use of the trails. Leashed dogs are welcome. Fishing is permitted, with a valid state license, at Arabia Lake.

Student or Learner
I am starting a new class and I was just wondering if there were any general lesson plans for a first class. I have taught classes from pre intermediate to advanced but have never taught a beginner/basic class before. if you were not given information about the classes level its a bit difficult to prepare. they could be from beginner to intermediate, so is there any tasks i could do? any good games, lesson plans or beginner grammar structures i could find? any info would be greatly appreciated
Classroom language can be good with lower levels.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—After falling behind in the third quarter, the fourth-seeded Birmingham-Southern men's lacrosse team scored the final three goals of the game to win 9-7 against fifth-seeded Hendrix in the quarterfinals of the Southern Athletic Association Championship, Saturday afternoon on Battle Field at Panther Stadium.
The Panthers move to 9-7, while the Warriors fall to 7-10 to end the season. BSC and the other three top-seeded teams each hosted quarterfinal games today, with all four top seeds moving on to the semifinals, which will be played next weekend in Sewanee, Tenn. The Panthers will face the top-seeded Tigers, while No. 2 Centre will face No. 3 Berry.
The Warriors scored the opening goal of today's game in the first minute of play before the Panthers answered with five straight to go up 5-1 by the 13:24 mark of the second quarter. Hendrix responded with two goals to cut it to 5-3 before BSC senior Peter Raffanti scored the third of his four goals to extend the BSC lead to 6-3.
The Warriors rallied from behind, though, closing the lead to 6-5 before halftime, and then scoring twice to open the third quarter and take a 7-6 lead with 4:59 left in the third. The Panthers tied it back up less than two minutes later on a goal by sophomore Austin Hafdell, and the score remained knotted heading into the fourth quarter.
With 12:06 left in the game, freshman Sawyer Page scored the go-ahead goal for BSC, and the Panthers added an insurance goal with five minutes left when Raffanti found the net for the fourth time.
Raffanti led all players with four goals, while freshman McHale Schneider led with four assists. Freshman Thomas Grove led with eight ground balls and seven face-offs, and Raffanti also led with three caused turnovers. Junior goalkeeper Conor Perine recorded eight saves.

A woman who portrayed herself online as a 16-year-old girl who was pregnant pleaded guilty to having sex with teenage boys.
Court officials said Jennifer Dempsey, 35, pleaded guilty on Friday morning to child molestation, attempted sexual conduct with a minor and sexual conduct with a minor.
She's accused of contacting 14-year-old to 16-year-old boys she did not know through Facebook and then meeting them for sex acts between November 2012 and February 2013, Phoenix police spokesman Sgt. Trent Crump said.
Dempsey told both victims she was pregnant and attended a meeting with one of the victim's parents, Crump said.
Crump also said for the past five years, Dempsey convinced her family she had cancer. She shaved her head, bought wigs and had a fake chemotherapy port taped to her chest to make it appear real, Crump said.
Police detectives discovered Dempsey did not have cancer, but used the claim to help avoid arrest.
"She used her cancer ploy to our detectives to try and stay out of trouble," said Crump. "She said this is the reason why she didn't engage in the sexual conduct because she was constantly ill from chemotherapy, all of which we learned in the following days, was not true."
During the investigation, police said they recovered incriminating text messages that led to her arrest. Dempsey admitted she had sex with the older victim, but denied sexual activity with the younger boy, although she did make statements that corroborate the charges, Crump added.
Police served a search warrant on her home, which produced several pieces of evidence.
Crump said the police investigation started after the parents of one of the teenagers came forward.
According to police, the parents had met Dempsey and didn't believe she was 16-years-old. The parents also found nude photos being exchanged with their son, police said.
Dempsey was booked into jail on several counts of sexual conduct with a minor.

WASHINGTON — House Republican efforts to cut record U.S. government spending on food stamps may instead backfire and make it more probable funding will continue at existing levels.
The House approved last week, over Democratic objections, a five-year bill governing aid to farmers that leaves out funding for food stamps. The programs have been coupled for decades in a bargain among rural and urban lawmakers.
With the White House threatening to veto the House bill, and Senate leaders insisting on keeping the farm and nutritional issues together, it is more likely that the food stamp program will continue if Republicans won't compromise, Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., said.
"If you want reform, if you want to be able to cut down on waste, fraud and abuse, that doesn't happen unless we pass" food-stamp legislation as part of a farm bill, Stabenow said Monday in a conference call with reporters. "It's going to take not just bipartisan support in the Senate, it's going to take bipartisan support in the House."
House Republican leaders vowed to craft separate legislation to fund food stamps, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. A proposal designed to appeal to conservatives who want major cuts won't gain Senate or White House approval, making it more likely that the program's funding would continue without reductions, Stabenow said.
Food stamps, which were created through legislation separate from the farm bill, don't necessarily die without a new agriculture plan, Stabenow said. Congress would likely continue to operate the program through other spending bills.
Annual average food-stamp enrollment has risen 77 percent since 2007, with the number of recipients falling only once since 2000. Spending last year was a record $78.4 billion, more than double its level four years earlier. Monthly food-stamp enrollment peaked in December at 47.8 million and was 45.7 million in April, the most recent month available. Spending reached its highest level at $6.47 billion in November.
Supercenters such as Wal-Mart Stores and discounters such as Aldi and SuperValu's Save-A-Lot chain benefit from the program, which subsidizes nutrition purchases for lower- income families, according to a Bloomberg analysis. The program has become for conservatives who want to cut spending, including those affiliated with the Tea Party, a symbol of dependency on government.
The separation of food- and farm-aid makes possible a real debate about nutrition spending, Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Penn., said on CBS's "Face the Nation" program on July 14.
"I have never talked to one person that says 'We don't want to take care of the most vulnerable,' " he said. "But I have talked to people that said the system's broken. And when they look at what's going on, we're wasting billions of dollars on a program that doesn't seem to be lifting people out of poverty."
Congress will "absolutely" continue to fund the federal food stamp program, Kelly said.
The party risked damaging its brand by being viewed as unconcerned about the needs of the poor, Burdett Loomis, a political science professor at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, said
That may not affect conservative Republicans in whose constituents want steeper government spending cuts, but it could hurt the party nationally.
"It's another one of these 47 percent things," Loomis said, referring to the presidential candidate Mitt Romney comment about government dependency to a group of donors that was secretly videotaped. "The real damage isn't to Tim Huelskamp in western Kansas or Mike Pompeo in Wichita. The real damage is to Republican presidential hopefuls."
The House approved a version of the agriculture law reauthorizing only farm subsidies last week, 216-208. The bill has traditionally passed Congress via a coalition of conservative rural lawmakers and urban Democrats. The House last month defeated a plan with both elements, sending leadership in search of a new strategy. A bipartisan Senate plan encompassing farm and food aid passed that chamber 66-27 June 10. The current legislation begins to expire Sept. 30.
The separate food-stamp-only approach embraced by the House leaders shows a political calculation by Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, that budget hawks are more important than farm-bill backers, said Parke Wilde, a nutrition policy professor at Tufts University in Boston.
At the same time, the risk of the Republican move is that the split would lower overall political support for the farm bill, putting any final compromise, which may include cuts to food stamps unsatisfactory to either party, in jeopardy, Wilde said.
"There isn't any political damage as being seen as being anti-food stamp. Republicans have been saying that broadly in public already," Wilde said in an interview. Still, "are senators even going to entertain a split from the bill? If they rejoin the bills, will Boehner bring it back up for a floor vote?"
Stabenow said Monday she's waiting for the House to send its farm-only bill to the Senate and will deal with food stamps when the separate proposal is also approved. A five-year reauthorization of policies is necessary, even with small reductions in funds, to shield the program from sudden changes, she said.
Congress may ultimately agree to farm legislation that includes food stamps, keeping intact the decades-old coalition, Sarah Binder, a legislative political scholar at Brookings Institution in Washington, said in an interview.
If not, it isn't clear what the political consequences will be, Binder said.
"As the economy begins to recover, I think the sense that we need to keep spending more probably starts to wane," Binder said in an interview. "The constituency served by this program is less organized, less likely to be vocal, and of course don't control the House of Representatives."

Guess who has 2 thumbs and has another Subaru? THIS GUY! A '95 Impreza LX
Its been a while since I have posted on here, though I have been snooping around.
I posted a while back about a friend's car who had her back window busted out by some random a-hole. Well, she couldnt find a replacement and, along side an "exhaust" leak she was getting sick of the car. So in flies me and I scoop up this car for 400 bucks!
It runs pretty decently.. after brief examination, the "exhaust leak" seems to just be that the exhaust manifold isnt attached on the driver side of the block so, it bellows and makes a lot of noise.. i figure, if i bolt it back up, it should run pretty decent for a 400$ car!
As for the back window, I still need to measure it out, but i'm thinking at worst, pick up a piece of plexi glass from Home-Depot and Sili-glue it on the back.
Anyway, enough talking, here's some pictures.

I have a 4106 conversion with 2 coleman roof air units, also have a onan 25 kw propane powered gen. would like to run my front air sometimes while driving but there seems to be some controversy about runing propane powered gen while moving. i know the way this bus is set up the gen wont start whjle moving. however my propane fridg works fine. is it possable to run this gen while in moton?

Propane seems to be one of the alternate fuels for vehicles. If you can run a car on propane, I do not see why not a genset. But I am no expert!!

Most propane vehicles use LIQUID taps on the tanks and then heat exchangers to convert to vapor.
If the generator is a vapor-only setup, and liquid was to get into the vapor regulator it would/could
be a problem. But if the generator is fed LIQUID up to a heat exchanger from the tank and if you
have the right type of tank you should not have a problem.
Think Fork Lift tanks with liquid taps and heat exchangers down next to the engines with coolant
circulating to heat the propane to vapor.

I just took past expierences with res, and comm, heaters that if liquid makes it to the regulator, it will freeze up
and I have seen heaters that will actually burn through the heat exchanger if the mixture turns oxygen rich!
Big! Big! Hazzard!!
So, I figured a simular situation could Happen!

Unless 30 years old or older, small gensets are vapor units. Don't work like fork lifts. I run my fridge on LP when underway...done this for 30 years...may burn the thing up next time too. Probably not.
Some states have laws that prohibit LP gas tanks being in "on" position while underway. Many northeast tunnels prohibit LP period. OOPS...
Your generator is 'locked out to comply with the RV safety guidlines. You may have some liability exposure if the genset caused a fire, and you could have issues with your insurance if you defeat the interlock. Still, if you ran the generator while underway, it wouldn't be any more of a fire hazard than when parked. May be less due to additional cooling air while underway. Be sure that all your flex lines are in good condition....if a fire started when underway, you'd never know it until too late.
Convert that thing to a nice safe
generator...and run it all you want!
How much does it cost to run that propane genset?

I run my propane fridge all the time under way, never a problem, as for gen set safety i got to tell you i had a onan deisel in my bus ,it was my first gen set, you know one of those nice safe ones, well on a trip to california it caught fire on the road,nearly lost the whole rig but was able to get the fire out, damage to the bus was min, the investigation into the fire revealed a fuel leak developed at the fuel pump which sprayed fuel all in the compartment, it was in nevada, was a windy day,conditions with heat and wind and fuel together with hot parts of the engine ignited the fuel, dont assume because its deisel its safe, gen sets running on the road can be a nigt mare for sure. I installed in dash engine driven a/c on mine and rarely operate the gen set even thogh it is brand new. if you go cross country 3000 miles from home in the 100 deg temps with no a/c that get your attn real quick.

If you have a large enough bus system alternator and an inverter you may want to consider this as an option:
I have a tie-solenoid between the house and bus batteries and this allows me to run the front air unit using the inverter. This works perfectly with my ducted air system blasting all of the air to the front of the coach. When the outside temp gets really hot, I start the genset and all three air units. You could hang meat in there if you wanted with all three units on and turned down.

Well, I had to sign up for this one, I wasn't going to because I'm not sure I like the Mak board's new format. But I couldn't resist jumping into this thread, because propane is not one of those topics that will tolerate misinformation.
So here's the scoop. The three posts above this one have it right. I'll try to consolidate and add a few comments...
First, Laws aside, running your genset on propane while underway is fine if the system is properly built. Since it's very unlikely that your genset uses liquid propane, I'll not
comment on that part of it because liquid systems are very different and take a lot more "stuff" to make them safe and proper. So a vapor system:
(1) Freezing Tanks.
If your tank is too small and you run a genset from it, it will freeze up. Not from shaking though. What makes it freeze is that when you draw vapor out of the tank, that vapor has to come from somewhere. It comes from the liquid, which has to boil to turn into vapor. To boil you must have heat. Forgetting about boiling things on a stove for a while, how liquids boil is that you put energy into them, and they turn into gas. Or in the case of propane you use the latent heat already in the liquid to boil it. The energy gets used as the propane boils, and the liquid gets colder. Propane is a gas at atmospheric pressure, and under a few hundred PSI it's a liquid. So instead of having to put a fire under a propane tank to make it boil, all you have to do is draw some gas out of the tank, the internal pressure reduces a bit, some liquid propane boils to replace what you've just removed, and the liquid gets a bit colder because the energy to boil it just came from the latent heat stored in the liquid. Make sense? Bottom line, if you're just using a little bit of propane from a big tank, it will never cool the tank down enough to freeze it. If you're using a lot of propane from a small tank, the tank will freeze.
When a tank "freezes', the temperature and vapor pressure of the propane inside goes down and down to the point it won't boil anymore... tank frozen, no more gas will come out 'till it heats up again. So for things that draw a lot of propane like cars and forklifts, it's a much better soultion to draw the propane out of the tank as a liquid and boil it externally using an external heat source like engine coolant via a heat exchanger... that way tank freeze ups are never an issue and you can draw as much out as you want.
Propane refrigerators are never an issue in an RV because they never draw enough out of a tank to freeze it. Same for stoves. Gensets are ok but depending on your tank size and generator size, it's often "on the line". A fully loaded 20KW genset will definitely freeze up a 5 gallon BBQ tank in short order. But if the tank is 100 gallons, there'd never be a problem because the surface area of that big tank will transfer enough ambient heat into the liquid inside to keep it warm enough to work fine. Somewhere inbetween, you'll find that your tank size/genset combo will work or not... the solution if it freezes is to use less electricity or get a bigger tank.
Ok, so much for that. Now "ON THE ROAD"
And while I'm at it, FILLING PROPANE TANKS, because it all relates....
Basically all the arguements for getting liquid propane accidentally into your genset's regulator are valid... it could cause trouble.
HOWEVER a properly designed tank system will limit your ability to fill it, to about 85% max. That leaves a lot of "slosh" room in the top of the tank, and even on a bumpy road or going up a grade, it's very unlikely that enough liquid if any will be able to get up to the top of the tank where the vapor is drawn out, and into the outlet, to do any damage. Unlikely I say, but not impossible.
If your vapor outlet is not right at the top of the tank, it's possible that liquid could get into it. This happens when tanks are improperly mounted.
If you overfill your tank or the jerk at the propane station overfills it (called "stuffing in the propane industry) and there's little airspace left inside, yes liquid propane can and will probably get into your system. But at that point you have a LOT more to worry about, because if the day heats up much at all, the liquid propane inside is going to expand and have nowhere to go, and you're going to have a venting propane tank on your hands. That will turn your "genset regulator getting liquid into it" into a problem that you won't even have to think about, because it's likely that you'll have a major fire or disaster on your hands that will make your genset problems trivial at that point. Venting propane tanks are no fun and absolutely dangerous...you really never want to see one do it firsthand. Beleieve me, because I've seen it. Nasty.
Bottom line, if the tank is NEVER overfilled, and your vapor outlet comes off the very top of the tank as it should, you'll never have problems getting liquid into your genset.
BEWARE- many larger propane tanks do not have OPD valves (overfill protection devices) as they are not required. This means that the jerk at the propane station can and often will "stuff" your tank. I've had it happen probably 15-20 times. Some guys are good about it but face it, guys who work at filling stations are usually not rocket scientists, and many are clueless about the dangers of stuffing a tank. Have you ever watched the guy see the 'pee" valve go off, then shut it and top your tank off to the next nearest gallon? Yup, the guy should be fired. Dangerous. As SOON as that pee valve makes white, the filling should be STOPPED right then and there. NO FUDGING.
These days I watch the guys like a hawk and if they try to stuff the tank, I simpy reach over and turn the valve off myself. If they argue, they loose. And it still happens...!!!
SAFETY SYSTEMS for PROPANE
TO be safe, there's a few things you should do, (A) to comply with some codes and (B) just for common sense.
(1) SHUTOFF VALVES: Besides a shutoff valve on each appliance and a main shutoff valve as well, there should be an electrically operated solenoid shutoff valve placed just on the inlet of the genset, so that when the genset is turned off, the valve shuts. This is code and it's also common sense-necessary. You don't want your genset regulator leaking propane thru the system when the generator isn't running.
(2) TANK VENT: Something most people don't know and unfortunately even the ones who do know, don't often do, is this:
There is a DOT regulation (It's been 20 years now and I don't remember the number) that says if you have a permanently mounted propane tank on your RV or propane powered vehicle, that you hard-pipe the tank overpressure relief vent out to the rear of the vehicle and aim it up at 45 degrees. This is so that if the tank vents for any reason, the resulting plume of propane will exit out the rear of the vehicle and up, rather than under it where it puddle up, wait for a little spark and likely go *boom*.
It's pretty easy to do- just plumb some 3/4" galvanized pipe from the tank to the rear of the vehicle and put a 45 on the end aiming up, and silicone a little cork in the hole. Should it ever be necessary for the tank to vent, you'll be glad you did it!!!
(3) SAFETY SENSORS: If you have propane on an RV, you'd be a total fool to not take advantage of the nice inexpensive safety detector devices avaliable these days, namely propane vapor detector alarm systems and CO detector alarm systems. You should install both in appropriate places in your RV. The propane sensors can also be had that automatically shut the main off if raw propane is detected, and those are the better ones if you can work them into your system. Propane is heavier than air, so sensors should be mounted low in the space, like below knee level or on the floor.
And there's absolutely NO excuse for not having at least one CO monitor near your head where you breathe as you sleep. Cheap insurance and keeps you alive if you have a problem.
(4) SO, running gensets on the road? If you have done the above homework and your system is proper, there's no reason not to do it except some codes (which I will acknowledge but not necessarily agree with). Same goes with running the fridge while on the road. Doing either is not as safe or as legal as shutting your propane system down when you drive, but that's your call not mine. Personally? I do both. Never a problem.
(5) Where do I come from, preaching all this stuff ? I've been involved in propane conversions of vehicles and small engines for 15 years now. I've been through an intensive two-week propane school put on by the IMPCO corporation. I use propane daily and work with propane systems that range from RV's to glassblowing torches to systems that create giant 200 foot propane fire-tornados. None of this makes me an expert, that's for sure (expert=unknown drip under pressure) but I do understand the stuff and I've also seen what happens when you don't give it the respect it deserves. (kaboom, and all the windows gone for a three block radius, just from filling an RV tank under the wrong circumstances..no, it wasn't me, I was at my business two blocks away at the time )
My bus? 110 gallon propane tank, propane water heater, propane living space heater, propane stove, 8kw propane genset, propane fridge. I run the fridge on the road 100% of the time and the genset often on really hot days. I have two propane detectors, two CO detectors, the required hard-plummed tank vent system, and all the valves I should. Whole thing is done in 3/4 pipe with stainless steel bellows style hoses between the piping and the appliances (If you use these make sure they are rated for RV use... many are not and won't hold up to the vibration)
So do it right, be safe

What are your thoughts on using something like Pro-Flex CSST tubing for propane in a bus conversion? Will it handle the vibration? RV makers use a fair amount of copper for propane and I personally don't like that idea.

Well, I had to sign up for this one, I wasn't going to because I'm not sure I like the Mak board's new format. But I couldn't resist jumping into this thread, because propane is not one of those topics that will tolerate misinformation.
Now see, that was not so hard, and welcome to the board. Your posts are always informative and welcome. Thanks for the valuable information on propane.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body. But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, a good Reisling in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: WOO HOO, what a ride

Finally, some advice a guy can believe.
Thanks for the post boogiethecat.
I do however take issue with one item.
"expert(ekspert) prep. a hasbeen ( ie:washed up ), combined with: drip ( ignoramice) under pressure( stressed out)".
Now if we could just get some respectable electrical advice.
"When you think you have become a man of some importance, try ordering another mans dog around."-Cowboy wisdom.

I am wondering, when in a module such as Experiencing God Day By Day, if there is a way to tap a verse link and get more context than just the one verse. I'm always having to go back into my text module to read the context. Would be nice if one could do it with just one tap. I so see Amplify, but you can't go beyond the stated text.
Posted 29 October 2012 - 12:10 PM
If you are using the Daily Reading view, the verse reference is opened in a text pane, and you can check the Show All Text box to see the full context.

Are you referring to Accordance IOS or Accordance for Mac? I don't see that option on my iPad.
Posted 30 October 2012 - 06:42 AM
Right, I was referring to the Mac version, sorry. On the iPad you can tap the Verse reference to Show in Context, why does this not "go beyond the stated text"?

In settings there is an option under 'Text Search Views' to show context. If you set it to 'all' that should do what you want.

Remembering George Hodgins
By now, you may have heard of George Hodgins, an autistic man whose mother murdered him and then killed herself.
People are saying that George's mother simply broke under the stress of caring for an autistic man. Naturally, that has some autistic advocates up in arms: How many mothers of autists (people with autism) and of Aspies have struggled and never even considered killing their children?
Even the idea that George's mother could have used more support upsets many activists. If we use this argument to try to get better funding for things like respite care, mental health services, more counselors to shorten waiting lists for services, more teachers' aides in classes to help students with special needs, etc., aren't we saying that it's a bit more OK for mothers of autistic kids to kill them if the stress becomes too great?
One thing to keep in mind when trying to understand our feelings on the subject: As a group, we autists and Aspies have been disproportionately bullied, ostracized, attacked verbally and even otherwise by teachers and others in authority and in many other ways made to feel excluded and rejected. I'm no exception. I've had my jacket and gloves stolen (always one glove—the idea is to show that they don't like me and aren't trying to get something for themselves), been spit on, punched and more. To this day, every time I have to take more than a second or two to look for something like a winter hat or glove, I flash back to my childhood.
And if we had a nickel for every time we were told that our behavior had provoked the bullying and made it "more understandable," we could retire. (Heck, those of us who are of age can make it into a drinking game!) This stuff really grates on us because it sounds like blaming the victim. All too often, it is code for blaming the victim in a really discriminatory way—especially since people tend to be so vague when saying how we "provoked" the other person's jerkitude. (Maybe they were vague because they felt we should "know better.")
That goes a long way to showing why many autists and Aspies are having conniptions over the very suggestion that anything besides Elizabeth Hodgins' own resolve to behave decently could have saved George Hodgins. Even though no one has even claimed that he did anything "provocative." Many autists and Aspies feel that even focusing on Elizabeth Hodgins' desperation implies that an autistic child is a curse.
Yes, of course sane people are responsible for their actions. And obviously George Hodgins bears no blame whatsoever for his own murder. That doesn't mean that changing conditions doesn't change behavior. For example, when unemployment goes up, so do various crimes—including homicide. Does that mean people aren't really responsible for obeying the law and being decent? No. Would helping more people get and keep jobs reduce crime (other things being equal)? Yes.
George Hodgins' mother is, sadly. only one example. We can learn from these horrible acts to emphasize that everyone must do what's right even when it's difficult—and to push for support and resources to help people avoid these terrible dilemmas in the first place. And I'll bet that in an alternative reality where Elizabeth Hodgins never shot her son, and he somehow knew he was still alive because she got the help she had needed ... he wouldn't mind one bit.

NFL's Kluwe Slams Archbishop's Anti-Gay Views
Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe has been making headlines recently for his strong support for marriage equality and gay rights. The football player has called out athletes and politicians and has now criticized the archbishop of St. Paul and Minneapolis for a letter he wrote to a woman pleading for acceptance for her gay child.
Truth Wins Out and Think Progress have circulated a 2010 letter written by Twin Cities Catholic Archbishop John Nienstedt on social networking websites. The two-year-old letter is a response to a woman's letter where she asks for acceptance for her gay child. But the bishop says that she might go to Hell if she comes to terms with her child's sexual orientation.
"I write to inform you that the teaching of the Catholic Church on homosexuality, as described in paragraphs 2357 and 2358 and 2359 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church is rooted in Scripture and based on the Natural Moral Law," Nienstedt wrote. "It, therefore, shares in God's revelation to us. Catholics are bound in conscience to believe this teaching. Those who do not cannot consider themselves to be Catholic and ought not to participate in the sacramental life of the Church.
"Indeed, some might find this is a hard saying but many of Jesus' teachings were likewise received as such," he continued. "I urge you to reconsider the position that you expressed in your letter. Your eternal salvation may well depend upon a conversation of heart on this topic."
Nienstedt's letter sparked Kluew to respond in an op-ed piece in the Minneapolis-St.Paul Pioneer Press.
"It fills me with great sadness and regret that a steward of the Catholic Church on this Earth feels the need to take a stance of oppression, intolerance, and fear," Kluwe wrote.
"Millions of children grow up raised in the Catholic faith. Some of these children will be gay, through no choice of their own, but because of how God created them," he continued. "What does it say to those children when the head of their religion in this state, a man who claims to 'explain and defend the teaching of the Church because I have been ordained to do so and I believe those teachings with all my heart,' a man acting under the direct auspices of the Pope himself, tells them that they can't be as worthy as everyone else, even though they believe in the teachings of Jesus?
"What will these children think, as they suffer the barbed insults of their classmates and teachers; I ask you, sir, what will these children think as they are belittled and tormented due to teachings you espouse? What judgment will be passed on your soul when yet another poor child reaches for the knife or the noose to end his or her earthly torment due to your example?"
Kluwe, who also calls out Pope Benedict XVI, asks why the Catholic leaders don't practice empathy and uses the Bible's teachings to make his point for equality.
"If you strike me, I shall turn the other cheek. If you ask me to walk with you for a mile, I will do so," the athlete writes. "If you ask me to respect your faith, your beliefs, then all I ask is that you do the same for everyone else. For is that not the most pertinent of Jesus' teachings, and one that everyone, no matter their religion, can strive to achieve?"
Nienstedt's letter may have been from two years ago, but it seems as though the bishop still hasn't changed his anti-gay marriage views. Last week EDGE reported that Nienstedt sent a letter asking Roman Catholic followers to support a legislation that would ban same-sex marriage in Minnesota.
When the letter was read, many parishioners were so upset that they walked out during church services.

Dave Kevan has been appointed manager of Notts County until the end of the season following a successful period as caretaker boss.
However, the former assistant to both Ian McParland and Hans Backe insists he does not want the role on a permanent basis.
Kevan said: "I don't want to be manager, but it's a case of carrying on as we are. If that takes us to the end of the season then that's what it will be. I will do my best, work as hard as I can and I'm very happy to do that."
He added: "It is a reluctant yes, but I will give it my best and try to look after things."
Kevan has led the Magpies to six wins and a draw during his nine games in charge, helping them up to seventh place in the Coca-Cola League Two table.

It could be said that Lexington's athletic department absorbed a collective 1-2 punch to the gut when the head coaches for the school's two highest profile sports resigned within a two-month period.
It could be said that Lexington's athletic department absorbed a collective 1-2 punch to the gut when the head coaches for the school's two highest profile sports resigned within a two-month period.
But after two great hires, Jon Weavil in basketball and Chuck Henderson in football, that all seems like ancient history.
School administrators really had to scramble when Robert Hairston abruptly quit right before the Central Carolina Conference tournament for personal health reasons and Coleman Davis took over on an interim basis for the rest of the season.
Weavil was hired on May 7 and the Yellow Jacket community should be excited. That's in part because Weavil is an excitable, high-energy guy and his enthusiasm is sure to carry over to Lexington basketball. Weavil is also an excitable, high-energy guy who knows how to win. His years with Matt Ridge over at Davidson Community College are ample evidence of that.
DCCC has built its success on pressure defense and transition offense, which go hand-in-hand. It's a tempo that most players enjoy. Lexington has plenty of good players returning who ought to thrive in such a system.
Weavil previously spent three years as an assistant coach at Lexington under the late Rosco Turner before he joined up with Ridge, so he's no stranger to the community. Lexington was 58-20 in conference play under Hairston and there's no reason to think Weavil won't continue that success or even surpass it.
Lexington's football program has had a lot more turnover than any school would like and Kwayu Graham's resignation after one season as head coach and two as defensive coordinator under Joe Gaddis was a real jolt.
But almost immediately, Lexington athletic director Ronnie Beverly said he wished Graham well and that the school was moving on. And that's what the school did in a very positive manner with the hiring of Henderson, a longtime resident of Lexington. The pieces are in place for Henderson to enjoy a long career at Lexington and produce a lot of wins.
Henderson is an intense, high energy coach who always gets the most out of his players. During his seven years at Ledford, Henderson's teams were a threat to win in most of their games. As soon as Graham stepped down, Henderson's name came up just like it did three years ago when Chris Deal departed to become the coach at Patton. It seems like a natural fit.
An added plus is that Henderson is going to run a system that is player-friendly — the spread offense. Henderson believes in spreading the field because it forces the defense to defend more territory. He'll have the athletes to do that at Lexington and that should make for some fun times at Philpott Memorial Stadium beginning in August.
Henderson is extremely competitive and his drive should carry over to the Yellow Jackets. Lexington has a storied history in the sport and Henderson should provide the spark to propel the Yellow Jackets back to that lofty status.
