Available now is a brand new EP presented by the Moscow-based label NoPassport Records. The 'No Mercy' EP features three songs by Ramzes Akhmetov, Oleg Ingiozov and Zlat Khabibullin, better known as Tantsui. Already established artist, the trio have released material on labels such as Highway Records and What's In The Box. The first track on the EP is self-titled 'No Mercy,' which has a deep, somber feel to it. The drums are simple, yet moving with a floppy kick, crispy hi-hats and subtle clap to keep you on beat. The bass line is deep, rich and has a funky groove to it. To top it off 'No Mercy' has a dark melody, with moody haunting vocals that pull you deep into the track.
The second track of the release is called 'Rainyman,' which is a delightful groove, with a bouncing bass line and the melody has an oddly pleasant synth. The percussion is solid and keeps you moving, all while the vocals create a rich, lush texture that compliment the musical bed. The third and final release of the 'No Mercy' EP is titled 'Someone to Play.' I was immediately entranced by this track, as I listened to the well-recorded, warm vocals that flow nicely over the lavish synth pads, deep bass line and driving percussion.

Many of us of the VHF/UHF/Microwave Ham Radio Community have use beacons to check for band openings and to where the band might be open. More so on the 6M band that any other. We hear the word Beacon bandied about but what is being talked about? What is a beacon? What is the purpose of a beacon? What is essential in a beacon message? What is the protocol? What are the manners and ethics involved?
As many of you know there is no worldwide beacon coordination, and there probably shouldn't be. A look at the infighting of the various repeater groups involving coordination should summon us to avoid coordination of beacons like the plague.
To enlighten the few and perhaps the many as to just what a beacon is let's put it in the simplest terms possible. A radio propagation beacon is a radio transmitter; it operates in the FCC designated beacon bands of the Amateur Radio Service. The FCC has also mandated a power limit for beacons of 100 watts output power. A beacon can be a built from scratch transmitter or some ham band transmitter/transceiver that has been modified for beacon service. A beacon is automatically CW keyed by some sort of keyer by which the beacon message is repeated periodically. Beacons are located locally, at ones residence or remotely, on some mountain top or other high place in a community. Beacons are operated off of commercial mains sometimes with battery backup or they can be wind or solar powered on mountain tops.
The purpose of a radio propagation beacon is to indicate to distant stations that a band is open from the beacon location to where it (the beacon) is being heard. Beacons are most prevalent for propagation forecasting in the 10 and 6 meter bands. We do find a few in other HF bands and quite often in the VHF/UHF/Microwave bands. Not only are beacons useful for the indication of band opens but are used for frequency markers, in scientific studies to determine the daily, weekly, monthly or yearly characteristics of a band. Beacons can serve a purpose to many as to equipment performance; such as, is the band dead or is the equipment that is being used to receive the beacon, be it transceivers, transverters, receivers – what have you. Some use a beacon signal for their receiving system optimization; possible but not terribly reliable, more of a sanity check than anything else. This (sanity checking) is generally done with local beacons and in the VHF/UHF/Microwave bands. Propagated beacon signals over distance are time varying which can be heard at an S-9 signal level one minute and a second or so later be an S-1 or gone completely. Test bench signal generators are better pressed into service for system optimization than a time varying 'off the air' signal.
The message that a beacon conveys needs to be attractive, informative and to the point. Hearing a beacon, what does one want to know about it? First and foremost – WHERE IS IT? Prior to the Maidenhead Conference in New England in the recent past that produced the grid square system, the latitude and longitude of a beacon took some time to be copied and due to the time varying signals parts of the beacon message were lost. Today, a four character grid square designator (e.g. DM79) gives a receiving station a good deal of information as to what part of the country (or world) a band is open, in this case Denver, CO Area. The six character grid square (e.g. DM79ql) narrows the location of the beacon fairly precisely as to just where in the Denver, CO Area. (Google on Maidenhead Grid Squares) dozens of articles, maps and charts of areas of interest will be made available.
Besides a grid square designation in a beacon message, a call sign is sent, this due to the FCC requirement that any radio transmission be identified, other than that the call sign if relatively unimportant. What I meant previously by 'attractive', I did not mean 'pretty', I meant something to get the attention of a receiving station. It has been generally accepted that the sequence "VVV" is going to be followed by a call sign and grid square and that the signal is from a beacon station evidenced by the "/B" tacked onto the call sign. This seems like a very informative message to be sent from a beacon station for example the beacon message on my 10 GHz beacon station is as follows, "VVV de W6OAL DM79ql (10 second pause and repeat). Nothing more needs to be sent. To review, VVV indicated to a receiving station that they are about to receive a message (generally) from a beacon station. The FCC regulation for identification has been met with the sending "W6OAL". The location of this call signed station has been identified with the sending of "DM79ql". Enough said, I don't have to announce my Mother's maiden name or how many acres my property entails. As for dits and dashes following a beacon message they may or may not be of any significant importance. Why not just send the message and get off the air so that another beacon station that may be occupying the same of close by frequency can be heard by others? Courtesy, Ethics, Protocol should be paramount considerations of all of us in todays' crowded and sought after ham bands.
Protocol in all its pertinence to the subject at hand is defined by the newest Webster Dictionary as; "a set of rules which governs the format of data and its exchange". Many things come about as time honored traditions. I'd suggest that most of us that operate radio propagation beacons use the aforementioned protocol in our beacon messages – there are a few exceptions, of course, there is always that "3%". A respected and used protocol makes scanning the beacon bands so much easier to discern in a moment, propagation characteristics – than listening some drawn out message of "90% no relevance"!
Ethics, again from Webster; "a branch of philosophy dealing with what is good and bad and with moral duty and obligation" (I would have also added perpetuity). As relating to the establishment and operation of radio propagation beacons, each of us have our own set of values and moral convictions. In this instance let's evaluate the amount of power a beacon station could run that might be construed to be ethical. In conversations with other beacon station operators I have found that seldom do they run more than 30 to 50 watts. Especially on the Six Meter Band, a lot of power just is not necessary. Generally when the band is open running 10 watt or a full kilowatt is copy-able Q5 most everywhere in the country to which the band is open. Many times a beacon station is limited in power due to location (i.e. acquiring lots of power by solar or wind on a mountaintop could be rather costly). Such location could entail a lot of hardware, not to mention the cost of that hardware. A small solar or wind powered station running 10 watts or so may be all that is necessary to establish a grid location. The FCC advocates that in all communications one should use only enough power to get the job done. A 100 watt beacon is useless on a dead band. Another consideration is your neighbor. Granted there isn't really any advantage to two stations in the same city running 100 watt beacon stations on the same band other than ego. In Colorado we have three 6 meter beacons. One in Grand Junction, one in Vail and one in Denver we are separated by considerable distance and a few to many kHz by gentleman's agreement and good conscience, and this is the way it should be rather than by coordination. Another consideration along the lines of ethics is cleanliness of signal. If only a few kHz separate a couple of semi-local beacon stations it should behoove both operators to keep their signals as clean as possible in an effort to allow a receiving station to be able to copy both.
In summary the suggestion is to exercise a little common sense and consideration of others in our beacon station operations. And, realize that beacon operation on the HF bands and 6 meters do not necessarily have to follow the same protocol as the bands above 6 meters. It has been evident for years that beacons in some cases are an ego trip rather than an aid to discerning propagation, still the practice of, "get in" (with a short beacon message), "get out" and leave space for other beacon stations to be heard before the beacon message is repeated, is considered friendly, considerate and ethical.
Thanks, Dave – W6OAL/Ø

As the title stipulates, I'm getting Serious and I mean business. So what am I getting serious about? Well, personal coding projects which I never finish. I'm blessed (cursed) with an over-active imagination which can lead to an lack of discipline at home for my personal work, which is perplexing because with everything else I do, I'm very organised which sometimes borders on OCD's (Washing up piles ordered into separate piles springs to mind). Yes I lack basic common sense and I tend to mislay and loose things alot…..but hey that is an integral part of who I'am. Even at work I'm organised… really organised and anal about time.
So my problem I think is that my imagination is wild at home. I'm unrestricted. I'm free. I'm wild. I need to tame the need to learn "other stuff" and become a Ninja at something, like MVC……..
Hello Project Personal….
I have limited spare time. I have a wife who likes to do stuff as a family and a gorgeous 2 year old who demands my attention (quite rightly). Plus I use that spare time to run and keep fit, which is also an important feature of my life. But I still have this insatiable urge to learn and code and finish a goddam personal project. Balance is needed, so I have decided to plan my time properly – Hello Project Personal.
- Use Spare time only – which is:
- 7.30am – 8.30am Monday – Friday
- 19.30pm – 21.00pm Monday – Friday
- Some weekends
- Cannot let this project interfere with family life and running.
- Need to complete 1 ASP.NET MVC Project from now until December 2012…..not 2013
- Use reading time (Our bed time reading usually consumed by Fantasy/Sci-Fi Novels) reading upon new stuff.
Tonight I have chosen to finish an App i started 3 months ago for the wife. Easy Accounts app so she can track our outgoings on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. Easy peasy. I've started it and i would say its a quarter the way finished so this would be a good to get it out there and finished. Plus I have decided on some reading materials. So here it is, this is my learning stuff – No more and no less:
- Accountable – Wife's MVC app. The name may change.
- DI for .NET – I will continue reading this book.
- SQL – Enhance my very poor SQL skills.
The rest of the evening I have been planning using Google Calendar and setting up a Trello board:
This is a little bare at the moment, but that's my plan for this week – to plan,plan,plan. I will keep these updated and post specific milestones here or any code samples I feel are appropriate.
Then What?
In the new year (2013 if you didn't know) I want to use the lessons learn't and move onto a new project. I have a couple I want to do:
- 8weekgame – I really want to build the site which will allow me and Shawson to continue hosting new competitions. I have lots of ideas for this so watch this space!
- Accountable Windows 8 Metro App – If all goes to plan I should have the site live in January, with wifey using it. I would like to write an App for Windows 8 which utilises this system. In October I plan to upgrade to Windows 8 and purchase a Windows 8 Table (Hopefully a Surface) so having Accountable on there would be ace.
What is important though is to complete Accountable and complete it well, while keeping and balancing a family life. If i still have a wife in December I might have succeeded………

Pardon for Drug AddictionThere is a good chance that you have heard the reports in recent years regarding Presidential commutations, specifically for those who are serving lengthy sentences for nonviolent offenses. In fact, the President has commuted the sentences of nearly 800 prisoners during the course of his tenure, most of them drug offenders. The president has commuted more prison sentences than his 11 predecessors combined. The president has commuted or reduced the sentences of a number of people who were serving life sentences. The effort to commute the sentences of drug offenders has widely been applauded. No one should have to rot away in jail because they became hooked on drugs. It is likely that more sentences will be considered and commuted between now and January 20th when the next president is sworn in. However, there are still some 13,275 petitions for clemency still pending, as of October, Business Insider reports. With little time left, many inmates fear that their window of opportunity is closing fast. There is no way of knowing the stance that the next President will take, so organizations like the Clemency Project 2014, are working hard to forward inmates' petitions to the Pardon Attorney, according to the article. The project has sworn that they will continue filing inmates' petitions until time runs out. The Clemency Project consists of a team of lawyers who vet petitions in order to deem which ones stand a chance, before sending them off to the Pardon Attorney.
We certainly have expressed to [the lawyers] that time is of the essence and we want to work quickly and efficiently," project manager Cynthia Roseberry told Business Insider.

Hindu is not originally an Indian word. It is a word given by the Greeks, then the Persians, to refer to the land and peoples beyond the Indus (or Sindhu) River. The term "Hinduism" came into common use only in the 19th century. Again, the term was used originally by outsiders to describe the "ism" of the Hindus and, eventually, by Hindus to differentiate themselves from Muslims and others. At best, it describes a complex and dynamic pattern of life and practice. The Hindu tradition is more an ethos than a set of beliefs; it is a complex social system and an elaborately articulated religious sensibility.
The peoples who today call themselves "Hindus" have many forms of practice, both in India and around the world. The brahmins of Banaras and the businessmen of Boston, the ascetics and yogis of the Himalayas and the swamis of Pennsylvania, the villagers of central India and the householders of suburban Chicago—all have their own religious ways. There are Vaishnavas who honor Lord Vishnu or Lord Krishna, Shaivas who honor Lord Shiva, Shaktas who honor the Goddess. On the whole, none considers the other a heretic. While there has occasionally been conflict between people of different religious ways, for the most part, all worship in one another's temples. Indeed, some of today's newest temples, whether in New Delhi or Nashville, include the whole spectrum of Hindu deities under one roof.
Despite the sectarian diversity, there are Hindu assumptions about life that do have common, although not universal, currency: the universe is permeated with the Divine, a reality often described as Brahman; the Divine can be known in many names and forms; this reality is deeply and fully present within the human soul; the soul's journey to full self-realization is not accomplished in a single lifetime, but takes many lifetimes; and the soul's course through life after life is shaped by one's deeds.

We all know online communities have become a guiding and influential force in individual decision making, networking and basic day-to-day contact. As these communities grow larger everyday, with younger and older generations jumping on the Internet every second, web-based marketing companies must learn to understand why reaching out to a larger audience (young and old), who's waiting all in one place, can help produce the long term, effective and successful SEO results their clients are looking for – visitor retention and Internet popularity.
SEO + Forums = Bots Denied
Right. We've all been told that SEO has no business being in forums because of Google's nofollow attribute in those communities. That being said, guess who does have access? Humans, real people, users, facebook lovers, tweeters, website owners, CEO's, Mom's….and the point's made. If you want to help increase the value of your client's website, in the most organic fashion, then step inside a forum and start chatting. Real people are the ones who are going to make your client popular online – not bots. For example, think about spam bots on twitter, do you retweet their tweets? How about spam in your email, do you forward it to your 10 closest friends? And this is why 'block user' was created. No one likes to be blocked.
To help prevent getting a not-so-pleasant online SEO rep (for yourself and your client) you've got to do a little mind-set relocation of instant gratification, where your results are as measurable as using a broken broom to sweep up glass, which will only leave holes in the type of results your client is looking for – it's brand building 101, and it's going to take more than one month to do. That's why you should think of forums as the word-of-mouth on the Internet and a great way to create backlinks. It's real people, interested in a specific niche who use a specific community as there go-to for info. The best part is: thanks to our sharing addiction (brought to by the makers of social media), they will share, share, share and link, link, link any, and all websites they like. Everyone likes a 'Thumbs Up'.
Forums are Savings Accounts
Think about it this way: forums are your savings account and your client's website is money. If you put away a certain percentage of money, oh let's say $100 (links), into your savings account (forum) each month for six months you'll end up with $600. So, if you plant conversation seeds, and are regularly involved in 10 online communities, with a redirection to your client's site, for four months, what do you think the estimated amount of external inbound links will be? If you're willing to put in the effort the ROI could have your client smiling bigger than the Grinch at Christmas.
While that Grinch smile is pretty iconic, it didn't come without some hard work and patience – two factors in making forum-link-love work for you. Like said, forums are nofollow, and that in itself is discouraging (even more so when you're looking for instant, measurable results). But a forum isn't the lottery, it's that $100 in your savings, and you have be to genuine about wanting to share your client's information for the good of the community. This isn't a get pagerank quick scheme, you've got to build that internal reputation that will get the users sharing.
Here are two (maybe not so common) things to keep in mind when venturing into the land of forums…
SEO – Where Online Communities Fit In from Paul Biggs on Vimeo.
Keywords and the 80/20 rule
In Paul Brigg's short video presentation, Where Online Communities Fit In, he points out that about 80% of searches come from 20% your keywords or core keywords. That other 80%? It comes from long tail searchers – real people using their brain to guess and generate search phrases, not keywords the marketing department research. These long tail searches are where you'll get the top organic links. This is where seeding ideas, creating conversation and reaching out into forums can and will increase your client's long-term success, and the chances of them renewing their contract. Clients like customers, customers are people, and people like people to actually care.
Saying this, forums can help you discover new trending keywords and/or help you re-purpose existing ones. Taking user generated phrases and content is a best practice for Internet Marketers, and the major trick for saying ahead. So, if you don't have the resources or commitment for SEO in forums, you can at least use them to find out what words and phrases certain communities are using to describe what you need to be selling.
The Wheel's Easy to Turn
Strategically it's pretty simple. These communities already have the system and template setup for you to network with their users, and access copious amounts of high-value websites – It's really a goldmine for SEO opportunities. And thanks again to the famous makers of social media, we understand how fast and simple it is to sign-up, log in and get going in any online community you want to connect with. You have full access to insider information that can help your client (and company) figure out how to best approach your audience's mindset and optimize their website. It's also a great reputation management tool for your client and your business.
In all virtual reality, you're helping your client build organic relationships with these users, without being penalized, by creating, building and maintaining an original web dialogue. This in turn establishes your client's online presence in the virtual world by developing greater and longer lasting, beneficial results for their site's pagerank. And guess what, their pagerank will jump because… (insert drum roll)…those users want to share the content, on their own, not because you directly asked them to. But, in order to turn the wheel the right way and keep on moving, you've got to be patient, and offer the community something worth having/sharing.
Rebecca Black or Y U NO Meme?
Consumer behaviour online and offline still relies on the trust of what others are saying and thinking when a product or company is mentioned. And gaining this respect (which is trust) online doesn't happen over night like a YouTube star on our lunch breaks. But, thanks to the Internet it's not a flip-the-hour-glass time schedule, but more of a ticking digital clock.
In any case it's always important to assess your client's expectations of and for SEO, and their level of understanding (as well as yours) before you take off. Working with their knowledge can help you decide if it's even worth the time to pursue forum land or not. Do they want to be Rebecca Black or Y U NO Meme? Just a thought.

Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE: DAL) reported third-quarter 2016 results before markets opened Thursday. The airline reported adjusted quarterly earnings per share (EPS) of $1.70 on revenues of $10.48 billion. In the same period a year ago, Delta reported EPS of $1.74 on revenues of $11.1 billion. Third-quarter results also compare to the consensus estimates for EPS of $1.65 on revenues of $10.55 billion.
On a GAAP basis, Delta's EPS for the quarter totaled $1.69. GAAP EPS in the third quarter of last year totaled $1.74.
Adjusted to include mark-to-market impacts, mainline fuel cost averaged $1.48 a gallon, a drop of $0.32 a gallon year over year and down by $0.49 per gallon sequentially. The third quarter fuel cost includes a loss of $0.04 per gallon at the company's Trainer refinery.
Operating revenues declined by 6% year over year. Mainline revenues dropped 6%, and on a passenger unit basis mainline revenues were down 6.8%. Total passenger revenues dropped 5%.
CEO Ed Bastian said:
With our focus on building a more sustainable and durable business, we will be taking a cautious approach to 2017 by keeping our capacity in line with the December quarter's 1 percent growth level.
President Glen Hauenstein added:
While we were encouraged by our unit revenue trends through the September quarter, we have more work ahead of us to achieve our goal of positive unit revenues. With further slowing of our capacity growth in the December quarter and additional traction on our revenue management initiatives, we should make progress against that goal and we expect our December quarter unit revenues to decline by 3-5 percent year over year.
For the fourth quarter, the airline forecast operating margin of 14% to 16%, passenger unit revenue down 3% to 5%, fuel prices in a range of $1.60 to $1.65 per gallon, and costs per available seat mile up 1% to 2%, compared with the fourth quarter of last year.
In the third quarter the company paid $150 million in dividends and repurchased $500 million in stock.
Shares traded down about 0.7% at $39.00 in Thursday's premarket. The stock's 52-week range is $32.60 to $52.77. Over the past 52 weeks, shares are down 18.5%, and for the year to date shares are down about 22%.

WhoDoYouWorship is a worship ministry established to proclaim the essence of "Worship".
Based on the gospel according to John 4.21-24 and Acts 17.23, we focus on proclaiming to the world who to worship, where to worship and how to worship.
The biblical account of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4.21 – 24, reveals a level of concern with whom the woman worshipped, where she worshipped and how she worshipped. Jesus made these statements to her; …you know not what ye worship…you will neither worship on this mountain nor on that mountain….then Jesus concluded the discussion on worship on how genuine worship is offered unto God.
Now is the time for spirit and True worship!
Our Vision
Our Vision is to see people of all nations live and maintain a worship lifestyle: {to know Jesus personally (Romans 10:9-10), rebuild personal altars (1 Corinthians 3:16-17), worship God without locational restrictions (Psalm 139:1-12)}, and to see the manifestation of God's healing and deliverance power upon the lives of people on the earth.
Accomplishing the Vision
We work together with partners to reach out to the people of all nations through the following outreaches:
The Worship Outreach
A demonstration of corporate worship and singing of God's praise in a musical concert organised both indoors and outdoors.

If Angelina Jolie hasn't changed her voter registration and driver's license, Mrs. Brad Pitt might not be able to cast a ballot in this year's mid-term election.
That's not how I want to be like Angelina. But if you live in a state that requires only certain kinds of photo ID in order to vote and you're a woman, the odds are high that you'll be turned away from the polls this week. And the odds go up exponentially if you live in Texas.
Most of the outrage surrounding states' efforts to mandate that you can't vote unless you have a specific form of identification — usually a driver's license — has focused on people of color, people who live in poverty and the elderly. Why? Because often those people can't financially afford to get a driver's license, and not just because of the cost of the license itself. There's the expense of driving lengthy distances to get to a DMV, as well as the cost of getting supporting documents, like birth certificates.
Don't take it from me. Take it from Notorious R.B.G. herself — Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. In a vehement dissent in a recent case where the Supreme Court overturned a Texas decision and held that the State of Texas could move forward with possibly the strictest voter ID law in the nation, Ginsburg criticized Texas for disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of voters who, because they lived hours from any office that could issue the "proper" ID form, would be cut off from voting without the state making reasonable efforts to resolve that or to make sure people knew there was an alternate state-issued free ID they could get. And that, she says, threatens us all:
"The greatest threat to public confidence in elections in this case is the prospect of enforcing a purposefully discriminatory law, one that likely imposes an unconstitutional poll tax and risks denying the right to vote to hundreds of thousands of eligible voters."
But there was something else that Ginsburg focused on in taking on the Court's majority; it's not a pretty piece of history, but one that the Texas court acknowledged was a significant factor in its original decision (the one the Supreme Court overruled):
"The District Court noted particularly [the] evidence — largely unchallenged by Texas — regarding the State's long history of official discrimination in voting, the statewide existence of racially polarized voting, the evidence of overly racial political campaigns, the disproportionate lack of minority elected officials, and the failure of elected officials to respond to the concerns of minority voters."
But if you're a middle-class white woman, you have just as much of chance of being told to step back from the voting booth in Texas and other states like Wisconsin, Florida, and Indiana, just to name a few. Because if the name on your driver's license doesn't match EXACTLY the name on your voter registration, you can be sent packing before you can exercise you right to vote.
Have you recently gotten married? Divorced? Never got around to changing your name on your license and other important documents? Is there a middle initial missing? A typo? If so, good luck trying to convince that poll worker you are who you say you are so that you can cast a regular ballot rather than a provisional one, which can be challenged and might never get counted. In a country where over half of marriages end in divorce, and approximately 80 percent of women still change their names when they get married, it doesn't take a degree in higher math to understand that women of all colors, ages, shapes, and sizes run a very real risk of having their election day voices squelched, along with those of the groups political conservatives are specifically trying to keep away from the ballot box.
That inadvertent consequence could bite the Republicans in the a$$, though, since some polling suggests that the majority of women voters are leaning GOP in this mid-term election. Now that would be sweet justice — to have the very people who are hanging their chances of winning on keeping people away from their polling places, lose because the women they need so badly haven't updated their driver's licenses after getting married or divorced.
Think this is nothing to worry about? Just remember, in Texas voting last year, gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis — a Texas state legislator — had to sign an affidavit before she was permitted to cast a ballot because he driver's license didn't match exactly with her voter registration. How bad was the discrepancy? Her driver's license read, " Wendy Russell Davis," and her voter registration form read only, "Wendy Davis."
Now I ask you, how many of you have the exact same name on all forms of your ID? Middle initial vs. middle name? Your voter registration has your birth name but your driver's license now has your married name? Are we all saying goodbye to the Voting Rights Act? And don't forget how this will impact the 2016 presidential election — and a possible Hillary Clinton presidential candidacy — if the states with the big electoral ballot counts fall victim to voter ID laws that jeopardize the votes of the very groups she will be focusing on to win.

The game was a shootout. St. Raymond and St. Francis Prep combined for 168 points and the Terriers notched their highest total of the year.
But, to St. Ray's coach Oliver Antigua, the game turned on a defensive adjustment. He put long, powerful forward Daniel Dingle on SFP's Khallid Straker in the second half after Straker killed the Ravens before halftime and the Terriers held a one-point lead.
"He had a huge first half," Antigua said of Straker. "He was scoring almost at will. We needed to put a bigger body on him."
The 6-foot-6 Dingle held the 6-foot-2 Straker to just six of his 24 points in the second half and St. Ray's made all the big plays down the stretch in an 88-80 win Tuesday night in Fresh Meadows in CHSAA Class AA boys basketball.
"I had to not let him get the ball," Dingle said. "He was having a big game. I had to get him out of the game."
Dingle wasn't too shabby on the other side of the court either. The sophomore had 14 of his 22 points in the second half and he and 6-foot-4 sophomore Kerwin Okoro completely dominated the boards against much smaller St. Francis Prep (10-9, 0-8 B/Q).
"We have to get a lot of rebounds for us to stay in the game," Dingle said.
Okoro had some trouble staying in the game for St. Ray's (7-7, 5-3 NY) in the third quarter. He was completely dominating Prep with 19 points when he picked up a third foul with 5:51 left in the frame. The Terriers promptly went on a 13-4 run to turn a 48-45 deficit into a 58-52 lead after a George Hatzioannides basket with 2:03 left in the third. Hatzioannides had 12 points in the run, including a pair of 3-point plays.
"It was frustrating," Okoro said. "Every time I was out of the game, they came back up."
The Ravens put together a quick, 9-0 run bridging the third and fourth quarters to take a 63-60 lead on a Devin Brooks basket with 6:32 left in the game. St. Francis tied it up twice more and was within 84-80 after a pair of George Wlazlo free throws with 30 seconds left, but St. Ray's made 12-of-18 free throws down the stretch to hold off the Terriers.
"Prep fought hard," Antigua said. "They didn't give up."
Five players finished in double figures for St. Raymond: Dingle, Okoro (20), Brooks (15), Lawrence Graves (11) and Jatton Pierce-Bias (10). Hatzioannides had 23 points and Michael Murray added 16 for St. Francis Prep, which is still searching for its first league victory since the 2007-08 season.
St. Ray's, on the other hand, has now won two straight after snapping a four-game losing streak against St. Peter's on Sunday. This victory, as Okoro noted, gets the squad back to .500 overall. The Ravens visit Xaverian on Friday night and won't see the friendly confines of their home court until Feb. 9 when they host Archbishop Molloy.
"We're getting comfortable on the road," Antigua said.
For a young team, maybe that's not a bad thing.

First I want to thank those of you who reached out to me this past week to see if everything was alright! I was working on my new layout last week and had hoped to have it up by now. But in the midst of that I got pneumonia once again and had to do another stint in the hospital. I was just released on Sunday.
I'm still a little down and out with the pain and recuperating so I haven't been back working on the site. I hope to start back tomorrow or Thursday with the goal of being done by the time Monday rolls around. I also hope to be back to my regular visits and commenting. I've missed the book blog world. But I've been reading so at least I can keep up with one aspect of it all.
Anyways, thanks for caring everyone and I appreciate all the concern and love you've shown! Hopefully I'll be back in action soon!

Yay, you're alive!!! We missed you! I'm so sorry about the sickness and the hospital stint. I hope you get better super quick and that your body gets stronger. I'm looking forward to seeing what new layout you've been putting together…however, take as long as you need and get lots of rest. :0)
Oh good. So glad you're better and so sorry you were sick. *hugs*
Girl are you going to make me jump on a plane and have talk with your doctor. 🙂 I hope you feel better sooner than later and don't worry about the blog. It will be here with all your readers when you are happy and healthy. Prayers and hugs to you!! <3

The City of Dallas says nearly 14,000 requests for tickets were received by people who hoped to attend an observance in Dealey Plaza on the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The city has said only 5,000 tickets will be available for the event and that only half of those will be offered up to North Texans. The other half will go to government and city leaders, the media and the public who live outside of DFW.
The city said 13,700 people filed requests for tickets by the July 31 deadline. Next, a computer will randomly allocate the 2,500 tickets available, though those who receive tickets are subject to a security screening by the Dallas Police Department.
The latest news from around North Texas.
The tickets, once granted, will be available for pickup on the day of the event and are not transferable.
Remote sites will be set up nearby Dealey Plaza so those who are unable to attend the event can see the ceremony on Nov. 22.

Nothing says sexy supernaturals in New Orleans quite like the official The Originals juice fasting collection!
Wait, what?
Yes, that's right, ghouls and boils, apparently you CAN get blood from a turnip. Take a look at this.
Yes, Klaus Mikaelson and his undead siblings from The CW's Vampire Diaries spinoff have slapped their name* on a three day juice fast just in time for this week's premiere episode. For the low, low price of just $119, you can subsist on three bottles each of Morning Ritual, Howl at the Noon, Kale or Be Kaled, Blood Sugar, and Heart of Darkness juices during a 72 hour period. You can totally see the super obvious connection between the two when viewing the trailer. < /sarcasam>
A fad diet media tie-in! Isn't it just to die for? Of course, if some of the more dire warnings about juice fastings are correct... well, you know.
The Originals premieres on Thursday at 9pm on The CW. The juice cleanse will be on sale at Gilt.com through Friday, October 11.
*The set comes complete with a glaring grammatical error on each label! Can you spot it?

What does "Tie Breaker" mean when it comes to Joint Legal Custody?
by Thomas Mulinazzi
An old friend called yesterday and asked me, "What does it mean if I have the tie breaker authority?" He said he did a Google search for the "best divorce attorney in Howard County" and my name popped up. He figured why not give me a call since we hadn't connected in awhile (more years than I want to admit). He explained that a Judge recently awarded him the "tie breaker" authority but gave him and his ex joint legal custody. He wanted to know what that actually means in real life.

VERDE WOMAN lets you shed fat like crazy (17 pounds in 60 days according to clinical trials) with no dieting, exhausting workouts, or jittery nerves. The secret is that the pure green coffee bean extract in VERDE formula has less caffeine than roasted coffee beans, so you still get the accelerated metabolism for fat burning with an energy boost—but without the nervous energy.
A single capsule a day is all it takes. So relax, have a seat, do nothing, and let the fat burn itself
Green Coffee Beans Extract is one of the most innovative weight loss products because it contains Chlorogenic acid. Chlorogenic Acid is believed to be the main active ingredient in green coffee beans. That is, the substances that produces the weight loss effects.
It is highly absorbable once consumed and helps the body burn glucose and stored body fat for energy. It helps improve insulin sensitivity by downregulating the genes responsible for inflammation-induced weight gain and galanin-mediated. Chlorogenic acid can also prevent fat absorption and boost fat metabolism in the liver, thereby aiding weight loss. Apart from improving fat metabolism, chlorogenic acid also normalizes the obesity-related hormone resulting to weight decrease.
Green Coffee Bean is natural products, so basically it does not produce any side effects to your body.
Being an antioxidant, Coenzyme A™ could free the human body from harmful toxins, thereby ensuring better metabolic rate. The higher the metabolic rate is, the faster the weight loss will be. The antioxidant nature of this enzyme aids in improving the fat burning rate during exercise, thereby promoting weight loss.
In addition, it is also involved in other biological functions such as neutralizing free radicals and keeping cells both inside the body and in the skin healthy.
I've been taking this for about a week now, so far no side effects! Overall great product.

I wanted to share a story with you about one of our lovely teenagers, Olly Macbean who is 13. He was able to experience a magical moment at his sister's birthday party, thanks to the love and support of his care team – and with a little help from some play.
Julia's House has been supporting Olly and his family for many years. He has care sessions at home and in the hospice and his mum, dad and siblings also enjoy many of the social activities organised by our Family Support team.
Not surprisingly, the Julia's House nurses and carers have built up a really wonderful relationship with the whole family. These pictures show Olly smiling with carer Della and having a relaxing head massage with carer Mandy – it is clear to see the very special bond he has formed with his carers. Olly is a sweet, affectionate boy who suffers from seizures, has spinal problems which limit his mobility and has to be on a very strict diet to control his glucose levels. His carers have to follow quite a rigid routine to look after Olly's physical needs, but there is always time for fun – even when you only have half an hour to spare.
Olly's condition means he needs constant sensory stimulation and often chews on a little toy to get some relief. With this in mind, Nurse Kate, who heads up the team looking after Olly, asked if I could come up with a play plan to help Olly relax, but also for him to have some downtime with his carers during a break in his routine.
I went along to a community care session with Olly to see how I could help. I used music from the current charts, coloured scarves, ribbons , African drums, chimes and various play techniques to bring together a session that really did become quite magical. We were thrilled to see that for a full half hour Olly did not need this 'chew toy' and relaxed , smiled , laughed, anticipated , requested something to start and to stop and, for once, was in full control of the world around him.
The play plan has been embraced by the carers, Olly's family –and most of all Olly himself – so they can enjoy moments like this again and again.
His parents are delighted and told me that they used one of the music tracks I'd included at Olly's sister's birthday party. They hired a disco dome, played this music and Olly was able to join in with gusto alongside his sister because it evoked happy memories for him. A lovely moment for the family to cherish.
I love going out to help a child and witness the joy of a care session. I always leave feeling very lucky to have been able to step into a child's "bubble" and share special times.
Anyone thinking of becoming a paediatric nurse of changing jobs should not be put off by the idea that Julia's House is a scary place. Coping with the death of a child is the part of the job everyone focuses on and yet there is so, so much more to being a Julia's House nurse.

B2F Warping Progress – Still Tweaking
Ever since I switched from front to back, to back to front warping, I've been enjoying weaving a lot more. Even though I learned to weave 7 years ago, it has only been for the past year that I've had the time to really apply myself to it. I feel as though I spent 6 years dabbling and at last have the opportunity to become serious about it.
Each time I put on a new warp I look for ways to improve it. I realize that there are a lot of different ways to accomplish the same things, it's a matter of finding what works best for oneself and one's loom.
The question on my mind lately has been whether or not to leave the raddle in while weaving. I had been taking it out, but found some decided advantages to leaving it in; the first being a way to keep the lease sticks from creeping toward the heddles.
The first time I tried this, I tied the lease sticks together but found there wasn't enough give in the warp and several ends broke. The idea to use the rings isn't actually my own, I borrowed it from Charleen, which she uses during warping, and I thought to use during weaving. This worked better and allowed some give in my warp. No more bound and broken ends!
Everything was going well, or so I thought, until I read an Online discussion concerning where the warp passes through the heddle eye. It should be through the center, right? So I took a look and was alarmed when I discovered that it wasn't......
You can see the dip my warp makes as it travels over the raddle on it's way through the heddles, where it rubs under the top of the heddle eye. You can also see where my floating selvedge lies, which indicates the degree of the dip the warp takes. The raddle adds an additional ¾ inch to the height of the warp. More actually, as the raddle doesn't sit exactly on top of the back beam. So in between dishtowels I took the raddle out. And you know what? My warp still hugs the top of the heddle eyes. Oh well.
Speaking of floating selvedges, after a lot of experimenting, I have finally decided that I like to hang them off the back of the loom in a weighted film canister.
I've tried winding them on with the rest of my warp, but hanging them separately seems to work better for me. Especially as I often need a little give to them when I throw the shuttle and miss one of them somehow.
I use fishing weights inside the canister, and have discovered that these, with the help of a bent paper clip, are also good for the occasional loose warp thread .....
My other tweak involves measuring my progress. This worked better than simply measuring every time I advanced the warp and marking my place with a bit of thread, but this .....
..... works even better. It was Peg's suggestion; bias tape with marks I made on it (which you can't see). I pin it as I advance the warp, and unpin it before it winds onto the cloth beam. I had heard of using a cloth quilters tape measure, but never could find one. It hadn't occurred to me to make my own, so I appreciate this idea.
All in all, I feel like I'm making good progress; my weaving looks better and I'm enjoying it more. Maybe I'll make it past the novice stage one of these days after all.

I'd like some clarification on the bias tape measurer because I'd like to use it myself. I'd also like it if you'd blog about why you now prefer back to front. I belong to two local guilds and they are divided into two camps, back-to-front and vice versa. I learned BTF and somehow got switched to FTB and can't imagine doing it the way, but I'm open. I feel like it's like religion - some speak in tongues and don't like those who don't!

You're now using a heavy box to weight the warp while winding on. Why the change from jugs to a box? I know there is no more fiddling with each jug...but it was such a great idea and one I "stole" from you, with some adaptation.
My warp path is not straight from beam to beam, but with a dip at the heddles. Isn't that indicative of many jack looms?
- March 29, 2007 at 8:08 AM
- Leigh said...
Sharon, I will work on a post regarding your questions. I appreciate the feedback and ideas to blog about.
Marie, I'm still using the milk jugs. Not sure what I said to make it seem as though I changed to a box for warpingm(???) Thanks for the comment about jack looms, I will look into this!
- March 29, 2007 at 9:13 AM
- Sara said...
Hi Leigh;
Jack looms should have the warp dip as you describe. The warp needs to be suppressed slightly, so that when the shafts are raised, the threads don't snap.
If you think about it, on a tightly tensioned warp, with all the threads going straight through, if you raised a shaft those threads would tighten even more, pull on the threads, and the tension would eventually go wonky.
Counterbalance and countermarche have all threads moving, either up or down, so they remain at the same tension. Jack only moves the threads on that shaft.
Hope this is not too confusing!

Hi Leigh! Thanks for these posts - I love seeing how other people do it and it's kind of reassuring to see you working through questions about warping. I learned to warp back to front and have never tried front to back. I've also deviated very little from the method first taught to me. I love the ring idea for the lease sticks - I'm going to have to try that. Are you saying that you leave the lease sticks in while you weave? I hadn't tried that - do you know what the reason for leaving them in is? By the way - I second the comment someone else made on your earlier post about using something to raise up the shafts (I use books) - it makes it SO much easier to thread and sley the reed!
- March 29, 2007 at 9:40 PM
Your photos are beautiful. I can't get enough of weaving in progress. I have never really thoroughly ironed out the warping process, so I'm always slightly irritated by my lack of productivity in this. But it also seems that warps of different fibres prefer variations in what I do. I particularly like Charleen's idea of the rings to keep the lease sticks together. I've heard that many weavers leave them in, but somehow they annoy me and I always pull them out, but usually leave the raddle in place. I also use thin stainless steel rods for my lease sticks which can be tied together with simple elastic bands. Who would have thought there are so many ways to warp a loom.
- March 30, 2007 at 2:56 AM
Hi Leigh, the more I weave the more I realise that getting the warp set up right is the key to a good result. It seems to me that with all looms being a bit different you have to get to know your own loom and be your own expert.
I find the picture of your lease rods and raddle very helpful. I'd been getting round to the idea that I needed a rigid support for the lease rods. Where did you find those useful rings?
The bias tape idea is definitely one I shall try.
Keep weaving!
- March 30, 2007 at 7:25 AM
- Peg in South Carolina said...
I didn't suggest bias tape buy twill tape, the kind tailors use in making jackets. Bias tape will stretch.......(grin!) Twill tape will definitely NOT stretch!
I keep lease sticks in, tied to each other, and have not had your problem. I wind the warp on the beam with the lease sticks in, but then they are separated. At that point they will stick otherwise. But once that is all done, the warp seems to do fine with them tied together.
- March 30, 2007 at 8:23 AM
Great post and tutorial. So many good ideas.
- March 30, 2007 at 9:45 AM
Good post reading, Leigh. Yep, I'm a fan of back-to-front, but then again that's what was taught to me here in Ireland and don't know any other way! I never thought of hanging the floating selvedge separately, but will have to give it a try. Also the bias (yes, I know...twill) tape is a great solution to the measure at every advance method! And I really liked the ring between the lease sticks...so many good tweaks! Wow! So many helpful hints in one go!

Olympic Torch Relay to travel through South Glos
The London 2012 Organising Committee (LOCOG) has today (Monday 19th) announced the street level route of the Olympic Torch Relay which will travel through the streets of Bitton, Longwell Green and Hanham on Tuesday 22nd May.
Torchbearer Daniel Munden, from Bristol, will carry the Olympic Flame along one stretch of the route through South Gloucestershire when he takes part in the relay during its 70-day national tour. Residents are encouraged to line the streets and cheer Daniel on at this exciting event which helps to put the area on the map.
Arriving at 5pm in Bitton, the convoy will travel along the Bath Road A431 (High Street) from the Aubrey Meads lay-by, passing (on the left hand side) The Meadows Primary School, Bitton Football Club and crossing the Cherry Gardens roundabout before travelling under the Avon Valley railway bridge.
Avon Valley Railway plan to welcome the Olympic Torch with the aid of a traditional British steam locomotive, built by Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns at their Newcastle works in 1944.
Crossing the Keynsham Road roundabout, the Torch will carry on up Willsbridge Hill into Longwell Green passing Willsbridge Mill, then over the roundabout onto Stonehill and Hanham High Street where it is hoped Maypole dancers will be among the cheering crowds. The convoy will leave our district around 6pm and continue its journey into Bristol.
The following day, Wednesday 23rd May, the Torch will pass through part of Filton before continuing its journey by convoy towards Chippenham.
A detailed map of the route is available on South Gloucestershire Council's website at www.southglos.gov.uk/2012olympictorch and www.london2012.com/olympictorchrelay.
Leader of the Council, Cllr John Calway, said:
"This is an excellent opportunity for our residents and those in the surrounding communities to see the Olympic Flame and witness the spectacle of the Olympic Torch Relay. By passing through our high streets and alongside local shops, it really does bring the route to life and we are encouraging local residents to get involved by decorating their houses and coming out to welcome Daniel and the other Torchbearers. This will be an historic day to treasure for individuals, young and old."
Sebastian Coe, Chair of LOCOG, added:
"Today we bring the Olympic Torch Relay to life. The Flame symbolises the Olympic spirit and its journey around the UK will bring the excitement of the Games to our streets. Now the people know the route the Olympic Flame will be carried along and the Torchbearers for their community, they can start planning how they might celebrate and make it South Gloucestershire's moment to shine."
An average of 115 Torchbearers a day will carry the Olympic Flame during its 8,000 mile journey around the UK before it arrives at the Olympic Stadium on Friday 27th July for the lighting of the cauldron at the Opening Ceremony, signifying the official start of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
LOCOG has worked closely with representatives from a number of sectors in each Nation and Region of the UK to devise the route and is taking the Olympic Flame to within ten miles of over 95 per cent of the population.

Stay on target
Razer's chunky, mind-blowing Project Valerie laptop and its three 4K displays were one of the most impressive pieces of hardware at CES this year. So impressive someone decided to steal it.
At around 2 am Eastern time, Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan announced on his Facebook page that he'd just receive word of the crime. The company's groundbreaking laptop wasn't the only thing that the thief (or thieves) took, either.
The perpetrator(s) also made off with another Razer prototype: Project Ariana. It's a projector, but not like any you've ever used before. Project Ariana is a 4K unit with a pair of depth-sensing cameras and a fisheye lens, and it's very similar to what Microsoft showed off with their IllumiRoom concept device for the Xbox.
Here's what it looks like in action, courtesy of our friends over at PC Magazine:
Pretty sweet, right? Unlike Project Valerie — which you can only drool over for now — Razer was already planning on letting you buy Project Ariana. Though they don't have a definite date, the projector was due to go on sale sometime later this year.
Tan is understandably ticked about the two prototypes being stolen. "At Razer, we play hard, and we play fair," he posted, adding "our teams worked months on end to conceptualize and develop these units."
Authorities are already investigating the crime, and Tan isn't ready to rule out industrial espionage. That, he says, "is cheating, and cheating doesn't sit well with us."
He's probably also not thrilled about history repeating itself. Back in 2011, Razer had a pair of prototypes stolen from their Bay Area offices during a break-in.

Bobby Jindal's performance was bad enough. Never knowing when to leave well enough alone, Joe Biden and the Obama administration tried to pile on.
"But what I don't understand from Governor Jindal is what would he do? In Louisiana, there's 400 people a day losing their jobs. What's he doing?"
Oops! Looks like Joe stepped in it again! Well, "Nothing, Joe, because Louisiana isn't losing 400 jobs a day."
He should thank his lucky stars his name isn't Dan Quayle... and that he's a liberal... and that Obama's father is Kenyan.
Here's the story.

Oil and Gas Upstream industry is facing challenges on multiple fronts. Continuous growth in demand for oil and gas and end of "the easy oil" era has pushed the organizations to go for previously unexplored and remote areas. Remote operations coupled with extreme climates and harsh working conditions have made the high margins and major oil discoveries elusive despite advancements in Exploration and Production (E&P) technologies.
Aging workforce and resultant skills shortage, strict environmental protection regulations and political uncertainties in regions with ample hydrocarbons are other key issues the industry is grappling with.
These challenges have compelled the industry to find ways to significantly improve the performance of the existing fields in terms of hydrocarbon recovery using innovative ideas, information technology and Geological and Geophysical (G&G) technologies.
For more than 10 years, we have a mature upstream practice. The team comprises individuals with deep domain knowledge – geoscientists, subject matter experts, petroleum engineers, Oil and Gas Information Technology (IT) strategists and advisors etc. Strong domain capabilities help us provide services to our customers across complete E&P value chain.
We have proven track record of delivering IT projects to leading E&P as well as Oil Field Services (OFS) organizations for their operational excellence. E&P being highly data intensive sector, we give special emphasis on E&P organizations' data and information management challenges.
Our E&P practice brings forth proven expertise in providing vertical solutions, such as:
Our partnerships with E&P industry standards bodies and niche product vendors further complement our competencies.

Our attorneys will guide you through the entire process and work with you to develop a strategy that will prioritize your children and their best interest.
Determining Child Support in Jersey City

The responsibility to support children applies to all noncustodial parents, regardless of whether the child was born in or outside of marriage.
New Jersey guidelines for child support consider the following factors:
- Combined net income of both parents
- Whether the child lives with one parent or custody is shared
- Expenses for work related child care
- Health insurance
- Private school tuition
- Expenses for a child with special needs

A lawyer from our firm can help you secure the financial support your child deserves.
