Over the past few years, Anton LaVey and his book The Satanic Bible has grown increasingly popular, selling thousands of new copies. His impact has been especially pronounced in our nation's capital. One U.S. senator has publicly confessed to being a fan of the The Satanic Bible while another calls it his "foundation book." On the other side of Congress, a representative speaks highly of LaVey and recommends that his staffers read the book.
A leading radio host called LaVey "brilliant" and quotations from the The Satanic Bible can be glimpsed on placards at political rallies. More recently, a respected theologian dared to criticize the founder of the Church of Satan in the pages of a religious and cultural journal and was roundly criticized by dozens of fellow Christians.
Surprisingly little concern, much less outrage, has erupted over this phenomenon. Shouldn't we be appalled by the ascendancy of this evangelist of anti-Christian philosophy? Shouldn't we all–especially we Christians–be mobilizing to counter the malevolent force of this man on our culture and politics?
As you've probably guessed by this point, I'm not really talking about LaVey but about his mentor, Ayn Rand. The ascendency of LaVey and his embrace by "conservative" leaders would indeed cause paroxysms of indignation. Yet, while the two figures' philosophies are nearly identical, Rand appears to have received a pass. Why is that?
Perhaps most are unaware of the connection, though LaVey wasn't shy about admitting his debt to his inspiration. "I give people Ayn Rand with trappings," he once told the Washington Post . On another occasion he acknowledged that his brand of Satanism was "just Ayn Rand's philosophy with ceremony and ritual added." Indeed, the influence is so apparent that LaVey has been accused of plagiarizing part of his "Nine Satanic Statements" from the John Galt speech in Rand's Atlas Shrugged .

Different times of year should play into your crime prevention considerations and personal safety.
Seasonal events effect safety, such fall bringing kids returning to school and a need for more vigilance in cross walks and school zones. Meanwhile, during the holiday season busy parking lots and gift giving can make vehicles and property a target for thieves.
Weather throughout the year also has an effect on crime and safety. Summer often makes people more careless about locking doors and windows while driving in icy conditions effects safety in the winter.
General considerations
- Crime doesn't take a holiday. You know when it is a holiday and so do thieves. Winter holidays bring lots of presents and vacant houses while people are traveling. During these times, be especially vigilant about home and property security.
- Ice and snow make driving very tricky. SDOT has a helpful information section on Winter Driving Tips
SPRING and FALL:
- Even if you don't have kids in school, keep in mind when schools are in session and drive accordingly.
- Seattle is getting more visitors every summer. Take care to protect your property in crowded tourist destinations - just because you are a Seattle resident, thieves can still target your belongings.
- July 4th - fireworks are illegal in the City of Seattle.
- Water safety - the Harbor Patrol section has good tips on water safety
- In the summer people think less about locking doors and windows and can often leave tools out, or doors unlocked as they work in the yard.

Maybe not, but you'd be wise to carefully consider the question.Unlike real estate lenders, most aircraft lenders don't require title insurance, so airplane buyers rarely even know about it, let alone purchase it. That can be a big mistake.
August 1, 2013
June 26, 2013
Two corporate aircraft runway accidents in recent years underscore the importance of understanding your aviation insurance policy and communicating key details to all pertinent parties. The 2007 accidents—in Nova Scotia, Canada, and Santa Barbara, California—resulted in no serious passenger injuries but caused millions of dollars' worth of damage.
June 26, 2013
Interest rates remain at historic lows, in part due to the Federal Reserve Bank's continued efforts to keep them there. Doesn't this mean that you should finance your next business jet purchase?
May 13, 2013
If I owned a business jet, my worst nightmare would go something like this: my airplane is involved in an accident and I get sued for zillions of dollars in damages.
May 13, 2013
It's too early to predict overall sales for 2013, but one key indicator—the number of aircraft for sale—continues to tick lower, suggesting that a recovery is still ongoing. In fact, the number of available jets and turboprops is now at its lowest point in roughly five years.
February 26, 2013
Having emerged battered and bruised from the 2008 recession, aircraft lenders face fresh challenges. While worldwide economic woes linger like a bad cold that won't go away, these lenders can expect accounting and regulatory changes that may have a significant impact on their business.
February 1, 2013
An airplane seller who was acting as his own broker told me that he'd been abandoned at the sales altar on three recent occasions, each time because of issues with buyer financing. "Welcome to the club," I thought.
January 28, 2013
For most corporations, the purchase of a business jet represents a major transaction that requires approval of the board of directors. What should the directors consider when the company is thinking about buying an aircraft?
December 1, 2012
The used jet market has had to contend with more than its fair share of obstacles over the past few years and 2012 didn't offer any relief. They say that when the stock market moves up it climbs a wall of worry and that's probably not much different from how jet buyers view the aircraft market. That said, there may be a bit less to worry about than there was last year at this time.

Institutional innovation
Thursday, March 1, 2012
Lynn Scarlett presenting.
Institutional innovation was the focus of Lynn Scarlett's Feb. 29 presentation at the 50th Winter Institute.
A scholar at Resources for the Future (RFF) in Washington D.C., one of the nation's oldest and most prestigious environmental think tanks, Scarlett is a former deputy U.S. Secretary of the Interior. She is also co-director of the RFF's Center for the Management of the Ecological Wealth and an expert on subjects such as climate change adaptation and ecosystem services.
Scarlett's presentation focused on how institutions can overcome challenges they face in regards to natural resources and the use of innovation to achieve their goals. She cited examples such as New York's Catskill Mountains Watershed Project and Philadelphia's wastewater and storm drain system as institutionally innovative and environmentally friendly.
Scarlett also spoke about the Arizona "Green Bank," a project where cattle ranchers set aside areas for cattle grazing exclusively for when a drought occured. This example of institutional innovation brought together ranchers and farmers to use innovation to combat natural problems and exemplifies how institutional innovation can serve society.
Her central message was that incentives matter when it comes to institutional innovation. Systems get developed and put into place depending on the incentives, and the incentives determine the speed at which institutional innovation takes place.
In the question and answer session following Scarlett's presentation, the topic of the government's slowness in innovating came up. Her response was that the role of the government in such projects was based on performance, and thus only after measuring is it able to decide on its role.
Scarlett closed her presentation with the Yogi Berra quote, "The future ain't what it used to be" to describe the changes that institutional innovation is bringing to society and the environment.

Saturday, July 28, 2012 - Text by Jan Lin | Photos by Badminton Photo - Yves Lacroix
On the eve of the opening day of badminton at the London 2012 Olympic Games, the sport starred in the Opening Ceremony in which three badminton players were proud flag bearers for their countries.
Here is a photo story:
Spotted! In the countryside scene of the London 2012 Olympic Games' Opening Ceremony, which was a spectacular showcase of Great Britain's history, badminton was among three traditional British sports on display along with football and cricket.
Three badminton players were flag bearers for their countries - Petr Koukal of the Czech Republic, Niluka Karunaratne of Sri Lanka and Mohamed Ajfan Rasheed of the Maldives.
Czech Republic's Petr Koukal - a cancer survivor - was the first badminton player out of the tunnel as countries were introduced in alphabetical order. Koukal: "The ceremony was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. As I was walking out of the tunnel all the memories of the past few years came flooding back. I got very emotional. I was planning to go home straight after the flag but I just had to stay and watch the flame being lit."
The next badminton flag bearer was Mohamed Ajfan Rasheed of the Maldives. Playing in the Men's Singles competition, Rasheed is also one of two IOC tripartite badminton players at London 2012.
Finally it was Sri Lanka's Niluka Karunaratne's turn to take the stage. He flashed a bright smile as he paraded around the track. The 27-year-old from Galle is from a badminton family. His father is a coach and his three younger brothers are also players.
Light up, light up! The Games have begun. The London 2012 badminton competition will run from 28 July to 5 August at Wembley Arena.

After reading the wet storage thread, late last night as I was falling asleep I had the idea for a very ambitious project. Ambitious because it would take a few years.
Participants around the world would all purchase the same bing or toucha. Ideally it would be something that is decent, but not too expensive. Something we all agree could be aged of recent pressing 2010 or sooner.
If a participant has a "pumidor" or any other novel storage method then they should get TWO one to go inside and one out.
At the end of a long time period (a year? three years?) all of these identical bings would be broken in to 10g sample bags and distributed to all of the other participants.
Then we could have a REAL conversation about storage methods.
Some questions would be
"How long would be long enough to see any change?"
"How do we keep current emails and contact info for such a long period?"
"What would be a decent, but not too expensive puerh to act as the control?"
This could also be good for finding out about plastic wrap vs. more open storage.
In the end, though I think it is easy to over-think storage. Most of my tea is long drunk before it has a chance to age... (though there was that one toucha that lived with me for 10 years)
But I think despite all of the effort this would be an amazing thing!

I'm in the market for a cheap marker that I won't have to worry about getting lost/stolen while I'm at school. Our school's club team fell through, so I haven't played for about 2 months and that needs to change. I get my next paycheck next Friday (the 12th), but I'm making the thread now so potential sellers will know the interest is here.
What I'm looking for:
Cheap Autococker (pre2k or 2k+) setup for modified SC - Looking to pay between $75-125 tops
PMI/Empire Traccer - $50-85
Dangerous Power F7. I'll pay $110-130, not a cent more. I can get a F8 for $150.
Dangerous Power F8. I'll pay up to $165 for the right F8. Brown or red is preferable.
I'm looking for something priced to sell, don't try and talk me up in price. If the marker you're offering isn't explicitly on my list, I probably don't want it.
I don't want ANYTHING that has a functionality problem. Being beat to hell is one thing, but not working or missing pieces is another. For example, I'm OK with your ETEK having a bunch of scratches, but I DON'T want it if the grips are torn to bits or if it's missing one of the grip screws.

Fort Collins campus has suffered cutbacks
Over the past week, politicians have made pleas to Colorado State University system Chancellor Michael Martin to keep CSU-Pueblo whole.
In parts of those pleas they note that while Martin has called for the Belmont campus to trim its budget by $3.3 million in 2015, CSU-Fort Collins' budget has remained untouched.
But casting the issue in a light that suggests CSU-Fort Collins hasn't suffered cutbacks is "completely inaccurate," said CSU system spokesman Kyle Henley.
This week, Henley provided budget numbers from CSU-Fort Collins that suggests that in the past four years, the Northern Colorado school has lost nearly the equivalent of CSU-Pueblo's annual budget and has cut staff and faculty positions that number nearly half of CSU-Pueblo's workforce.
According to numbers provided by the system, from 2009 to 2013, the school cut its expenses by $41.5 million, including $2.8 million in 2013.
In 2011 and 2012, the school trimmed more than $11 million from its expenses.
During the same period, the school cut more than 355 faculty and staff positions.
CSU-Pueblo's annual budget is about $44 million and the school employs about 750 people.
The Pueblo Board of County Commissioners and state Reps. Leroy Garcia and Ed Vigil have called on Martin to reconsider the directive to cut CSU-Pueblo's budget, which could cost up to 50 jobs on campus.
Martin will be on campus Friday to speak about the issues and answer questions.

text: Guy, That explains it getting hot. I would NEVER go to that shop that said the chain was fine ever again! There is no difference between x-ring and o-ring, just marketing hype. I favor Tsubaki chains, they are a bit more than EK, etc. by imho they seem to last longer. I used to roadrace and dragrace years ago and really got into using Tsubaki (one of my few sponsers). You WILL need new sprockets as well, I'd check at Dennis Kirk or Motorcycle accessory warehouse online to get an idea of the going rate. I need to go out and get ready for a graduation party but tomorrow I'll scan the rear wheel assembly for you and send you a .pdf file. Looking at the diagram I think you've got the order correct.

By REBECCA CATALANELLO, Times Staff Writer
He couldn't leave knowing there were people in New Orleans who needed his help. He was right.
NEW ORLEANS - Juan Parke spends mornings in his silver canoe, paddling to houses of neighbors whose loved ones are searching for them.
He spends afternoons in the water, dragging trapped residents through flooded streets to safety.
He spends evenings beneath a mosquito net in his second-floor apartment, listening to the drone of the cicadas, the roar of helicopters and the distant voice of the only other person left within a block of his house.
"I have an innate belief that no matter what happens, I will be okay," he said, explaining his decision to remain in New Orleans. "I knew people who would not be leaving, who could not leave without help."
So the 42-year-old computer consultant stayed. He walked around his block as the hurricane hit and felt the wind lift his 145-pound frame from the sidewalk. The next day, he rode his bike through the rising waters on Napoleon Avenue and figured Lake Pontchartrain was pouring in.
For people in the Carrollton Square section of uptown, Parke has become "Juan, the guy with the canoe" - a renegade rescuer and neighborhood hero, the funny little guy with an overgrown goatee, an orange pack of medical supplies and a cell phone that doesn't stop ringing with text messages.
Neighborhood rescuers have emerged all over the city. For them, New Orleans is too precious to leave in the hands of the search and rescue teams and National Guard.
They live in darkness, carry protective weapons and look out for others.
Ask Parke why he has stayed, and he paraphrases Shakespeare's King Henry V: "For those who are not with us will hold their manhood cheap."
The text message came at 10 p.m. Saturday. A son was looking for his parents on Neron Place, not far from where the streetcar line ends at Claiborne and Carrollton avenues.
Can you help? the son asked.
Who is this? Parke replied. Do I know you?
Glenn Carvin, 48, hadn't heard from his elderly parents since Tuesday. They had refused to leave the home they'd lived in for 30 years. Carvin's father uses a wheelchair. Where were they, the son wondered? Had dad fallen? Could mom lift him? Were they okay?
By Saturday, Glenn Carvin was planning to drive down from Atlanta to try to get to his parents' house. Then a family friend told him about the man with a canoe and passed on his cell phone number. All he knew was that his name was Juan and he was a nice fellow who had rescued other elderly folks in the neighborhood.
Carvin messaged back: I'm a son looking for my parents. Can you help? Address was 57 Neron.
Yes, Juan Parke said, I can help.
The man in soaking jeans with a gun strapped to his chest was yelling her name over and over: "Mrs. Carvin! Mrs. Carvin!"
He was a wiry man, about 6-feet-tall, hollowed out cheeks. But he spoke respectfully, offered to remove his gun, and said the words she wanted to hear: "Your son Glenn asked me to check on you, Mrs. Carvin!"
Ruth Carvin, a 77-year-old Newcomb College alum, came to the door in a white cotton nightgown. "Your timing is wonderful," she said.
Her husband, Jim, a political consultant to many local politicians, suffered a stroke years ago. The two of them had ridden out many storms. But now they were approaching seven days in the dark, six days without running water, five days without contact with the outside world. The black, rancid water was at the door.
Jim Carvin, 76, had always been a stubborn man.
"I survived two wars, the London blitz, and umpteen hurricanes," he told his guest. With 20 gallons of water, he said, the couple could last another three to four weeks. "And we've got enough liquor to hold us till 2006."
Still, Jim Carvin didn't shoo away his rescuer.
Candle wax drippings were on the floor. Batteries, Tabasco, Mardi Gras masks, papers, Kleenex boxes were scattered about their dining room table. Pringles cans and plastic cups wobbled on the floor.
"I'm going to get you out," Parke said. "I'm going to get you out to your son."
Parke lifted Jim from his bed and into his wheelchair. Ruth asked about her daughter's house a few blocks away. Parke went down to check on it, cleaned out the refrigerator, turned off the power and gas, and reported back to the couple.
If the Carvins had been rescued by National Guardsmen, Parke wondered, what would the scene have been? Where would they have gone? How long before they would hear from their family?
"That's a huge reason why people don't want to leave," Parke said. "They don't know where they'll end up. And the rescue crews come in and say, "You've got 10 minutes to get out.' And some people have been more traumatized by that than anything. If I can establish a rapport, I can usually get them out."
Glenn Carvin was reunited with his parents before sundown Sunday.
Parke started writing down their names after the first couple of rescues.
Miss Janet and son Howard needed help getting their elderly aunt and mother out. Mr. Roberts was running out of cigarettes, but truth be told, he was running out of medication, too. Miss Jenny, in her 70s, had been blown into the water during an attempted rescue by a helicopter and was skeptical of any further high-tech attempts. There was a lady who began having a heart attack as Parke arrived. Parke, a former emergency room technician, administered an IV and transported her to safety.
The Carvins were rescue Nos. 18 and 19.
When each rescue was complete, Parke would pass on his mother's phone number to the rescued and ask them to call. He wanted his mom to know he was fine. And he wanted his 10-year-old son, Deen, evacuated to Huntsville with his mother, to hear the stories of what one person can do for another.
"We'll figure it out," he always tells Deen when the boy hits a tough spot.
It's Sunday night. Almost a week after Katrina hit, helicopters throw their spotlights onto the watery streets, casting shadows over the flooded cemetery across the street from Juan Parke's apartment.
Parke lights tiki torches on his porch to keep away the mosquitoes. He pours himself a glass of wine and settles down on a cushioned seat.
He says he hasn't cried yet for New Orleans, his home for 15 years. He doesn't say he won't, though.
He was born in Puerto Rico and grew up in Baker, La., but calls himself a New Orleanian now.
He thinks he's earned that right.

Accommodation summary

|Property type
|Private room
|Property ID
Has an amazingly comfortable bed and has a very warm environment. The room is centrally located, yet quiet, with many beer gardens and leisure facilities nearby. It's only 4 stops by subway to Oktoberfest! The tram is right outside the front door.
Munich is the proud capital of the Free State of Bavaria. With some 1.35 million inhabitants, it is the largest city in Bavaria and Germany's third largest city. Apart from the largest folk festival in the world, the Oktoberfest, Munich has many more attractions to offer its visitors. Almost everybody, for example, has heard of the Hofbräuhaus. The famous beer hall on Platzl in the old town is well attended throughout the year. Not far from there is the Viktualienmarkt, one of the places where the locals like to hang out. Munich's stalwarts meet here in the beer garden for the morning pint and the chef of the gourmet restaurants buys his ingredients in the market stalls.
There are many other main attractions right in the center: the Frauenkirche with the onion domes and the panoramic views is Munichs landmark, the city hall in the Gothic Revival architectural style towers (do not miss the chimes at 11 and 12 clock) right at the beautiful Marienplatz, the Alter Peter offers visitors that will climb the 306 steps to the top a breathtaking view to the Zugspitze on clear days. Behind the Karlstor and Stachus extends Munich's old town including the shopping street with the highest turnover in Germany. For fans of machinery and equipment, this is a must: the German Museum on Museum Island in the Isar. It is the most visited museum in the Republic. Art lovers visit the galleries of the art premises in Munich.
The people of Munich love the River Isar and you can tell they do by all the lively urban green space along the riverbank. You get to swim, picnic and BBQ. If the Isar leads high water you can even surf in some places, but it is best watching this spectacle from the bank. Built for the 1972 Olympic Games is the Olympic Park, with its distinctive glass architecture is another recreational center of the city. The castle of the Bavarian Rulers, the Wittelsbach also deserves to be discovered. It is one of the magnificent buildings of the dynasty.

Reviews of this property
Was a nice stay for us!
Friendly and flexible hosts. Just enough to stay the room.
War ein netter Aufenthalt für uns!
Freundlicher und flexibler Gastgeber. Nur zum Übernachten reicht das Zimmer.
The room was really OK. The only problem is that you can not influence, who live in the other room. We could not morning in the bathroom, because it has so strongly smelled of vomit. The landlord, however, was really nice.
Das Zimmer war echt Ok. Das einzige Problem ist, dass man nicht beeinflussen kann, wer das andere Zimmer bewohnt. Wir konnten morgens nicht ins Bad, weil es so stark nach Erbrochenem gerochen hat. Der Vermieter war aber wirklich nett.
Everything was great! The rooms were very nice and above all very clean. Connections to downtown and to the Oktoberfest also very good!
Alles super! Die Zimmer waren sehr schön und vor allem sehr sauber. Anbindungen in Innenstadt sowie zum Oktoberfest ebenfalls sehr gut!
Great hosts, enjoyed our stay thoroughly Would definitely do it again and recommend to others

Those looking for a basic room for the night is right here. Super connection with the tram to Munich City. But no more.
Wer ein einfaches Zimmer zur Übernachtung sucht ist hier genau richtig.
Super Anbindung mit der Tram nach München City. Aber auch nicht mehr.
The location was perfect for Oktoberfest. The property neat and clean. Felix was nice and helpful. It was just a pity that there was no kitchen. (Fridge, coffee maker)
Die Lage zum Oktoberfest war optimal. Die Unterkunft ordentlich und sauber. Felix war nett und hilfsbereit. Es war nur schade, dass man keine Küchenbenutzung hatte. (Kühlschrank, Kaffeemaschine)
Felix is a very nice host. I felt in good hands. The organization has worked well. Felix has received me even after midnight. The apartment is well appointed. From the little Telefonschränkchen in the hallway, on the cute desk lamp in my room, to the Anischtskarten on the toilet. Everything fits together well.
Felix ist ein sehr netter Gastgeber. Ich habe mich gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Das organisatorische hat gut geklappt. Felix hat mich sogar nach Mitternacht empfangen.
Die Wohnung ist liebevoll eingerichtet. Von dem kleinen Telefonschränkchen im Flur, über die niedliche Schreibtischlampe in meinem Zimmer bis hin zu den Anischtskarten auf dem WC. Alles passt gut zusammen.

U.S. Women Prepare for Strong FIVB World Cup
Bill Kauffman
Associate Director, Communications
Phone: 719-228-6800
Email: email@example.com
U.S. Women's Press Kit for FIVB World Cup
U.S. Women's Event Page for FIVB World Cup
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Oct. 20, 2011) – The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team, ranked second in the world by the FIVB, has announced its 20-player preliminary roster for the season-ending FIVB Women's World Cup to be held Nov. 4-18 in Japan. The event is the first 2012 Olympic Games qualification event with the top three countries earning a ticket to London next summer.
U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) has selected four setters, five outside hitters, five middle blockers, three opposites and three liberos for the FIVB World Cup preliminary roster. The U.S. coaching staff will trim the roster to 14 players who will travel to Japan for the World Cup with the roster becoming finalized at the preliminary inquiry two days before the event starts. Each team can suit 12 players for each World Cup match and can change from one match to the next.
The U.S. preliminary roster includes setters include Lindsey Berg (Honolulu), Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.), Nellie Spicer (Barrington, Ill.) and Courtney Thompson (Kent, Wash.). Outside hitters selected to the preliminary roster are Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.), Kim Glass (Lancaster, Pa.), Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.), Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.) and Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah). Middle blockers chosen to the preliminary roster are Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.), Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.), Christa Harmotto (Hopewell, Pa.), Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.) and Jennifer Tamas (Milpitas, Calif.).
Opposites selected for the preliminary roster are Tayyiba Haneef-Park (Laguna Hills, Calif.), Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas) and Nancy Metcalf (Hull, Iowa). Liberos in the mix for the World Cup are Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.), Tamari Miyashiro (Kaneohe, Hawaii) and Stacy Sykora (Burleson, Texas).
"There's a lot of good volleyball players on this list," McCutcheon said. "We feel very fortunate to have this kind of depth in our program."
The roster includes 10 players with Olympic Games experience, while 15 of the 20 preliminary roster players have experience at FIVB World Championship events. The preliminary roster averages 155 national team selections per player.
The 2011 FIVB World Cup competition format includes a 12-team tournament field with a round-robin schedule that has each team playing 11 matches over 15 days. Each of the five continental championship winners earned berths into the tournament, along with the four best vice-champions based on world rankings as of Jan. 15. Further, Japan received a spot in the World Cup as the host country, while Italy and Argentina were named wild card teams.
"The World Cup is a very demanding event," McCutcheon said. "We have been working all summer for the opportunity to compete in this tournament, and I think our preparation has been solid. It's physically demanding because of the schedule, it's mentally demanding because there's Olympic qualification on the line – but that's not a surprise, we prepare for that."
Team USA opens the FIVB World Cup at Nagano with three key battles to open the tournament. On the first day of the tournament, he Americans will face top-ranked Brazil on Nov. 4 in a battle among favorites to win the World Cup. The Americans defeated their South American rivals in the 2011 FIVB World Grand Prix gold-medal match in August. The first round of competition in Nagano does not get any easier on day two as the U.S. plays No. 5 Serbia, the FIVB World Grand Prix bronze medalist. Serbia won one of three meetings with Team USA at the World Grand Prix this summer. The Americans conclude the first round on Nov. 6 against No. 13 Korea.
After a travel day on Nov. 7 to Toyama the U.S. returns to the court on Nov. 8 against African zone champion and No. 15 Kenya on Nov. 8. The Americans end their brief stay in Toyama with a Nov. 9 match with European Championship runner-up Germany, ranked No. 9 in the world.
Team USA travels to Okayama for the third round, which begins with a Nov. 11 match with No. 20 Argentina. The U.S. faces African Championship runner-up and No. 17 Algeria on Nov. 12 before concluding the third round against NORCECA runner-up and No. 14 Dominican Republic on Nov. 13.
The FIVB World Cup concludes Nov. 16-18 with two sites in Tokyo. The U.S. challenges No. 6 China on Nov. 16, followed by No. 7 Italy on Nov. 17 and host and No. 4 Japan on Nov. 18. China was the Asian champions.
"There are a lot of good teams competing in this World Cup," McCutcheon said. "So the ability to be good over time is very important. We start with a great opponent in Brazil. We'll try and play to the best of our ability there, and then we can focus on our next opponent."
UniversalSports.com will provide free live video stream coverage of all 11 Team USA matches for viewers in the United States and its territories. In addition, tape-delay television broadcasts will be shown on Universal Sports. For additional information, click here.
Team USA will be making its eighth appearance in the FIVB World Cup, missing just the 1985 and 1989 World Cups. The Americans have finished with the bronze medal in each of the past two FIVB World Cup competitions, thus earning spots into the next year's Olympic Games on the first attempt without going through the Continental Olympic qualification or World Olympic qualification tournaments. For 2011, duplicating the podium finishes at the 2003 and 2007 FIVB World Cups remains the number-one focus while utilizing each and every match to improve overall as the long-term goal.
Team USA is currently 30-8 (as of Oct. 20) in 2011 with almost all competition coming in four tournaments. Team USA used a mix of veterans and young players at the first two tournaments of the season resulting in a fourth-place finish at the Montreux Volley Masters and the bronze medal at the Pan American Cup. Based on its finish at the Pan American Cup, the U.S. qualified for the 2012 FIVB World Grand Prix next year.
In August 2011, the U.S. captured its second consecutive FIVB World Grand Prix title culminating with a win over top-ranked Brazil in three sets. During the tournament, the Americans won 12 of 14 matches with losses to Brazil in the Final Round pool play and to improving Serbia. Like its second match against Brazil, Team USA came back to defeat Serbia in the World Grand Prix semifinals to advance to the gold-medal match. While Destinee Hooker earned the tournament's most valuable player, the U.S. squad had different players step up in different matches making the championship a true team effort.
With little time to celebrate the World Grand Prix victory, the U.S. returned to the gym in preparation for the NORCECA Women's Continental Championship that started about two weeks after leaving the World Grand Prix. Team USA swept through the competition at the NORCECA Championship without dropping a set in the tournament. The Americans defeated Canada and Trinidad & Tobago in pool play, followed by victories over Mexico in the quarterfinals, Cuba in the semifinals and Dominican Republic in the championship match to earn a spot in the FIVB World Cup. Lindsey Berg was tabbed as the Best Setter of the tournament, while Logan Tom earned Best Server. Further, McCutcheon received the Eugenio George Award as the top coach in the tournament.
Using a roster with seven players competing in their first senior-level international tournament, the U.S. finished the Pan American Games with the bronze medal after topping an experienced Dominican Republic team in four sets on Oct. 20.
Based on the success over the past two years in the current Olympic quadrennial, McCutcheon sees no added pressure going into the first Olympic Games qualification event.
"As far as dealing with other people's expectations, I'm not sure that we worry a whole lot about that," McCutcheon said. "Obviously we hope to be successful in this event, but all we can control is our preparation and our performance. It's a lot about us trying to be the best we can be, and playing as well as we can, every time we step on to the floor. What we expect from each other, in terms of our effort and our commitment to this team is significantly more important than the expectations of the outside world. We'll just try to play the best we can and ultimately we will be either good enough or we won't be. We want to get to the end of this tournament knowing that we did everything we could do to be successful."

Miss USA Discusses Breast Cancer Awareness
Miss USA Erin Brady is taking a break from preparing for the Miss Universe pageant to spread awareness about breast cancer.
The former Miss Connecticut will be attending the 2013 Komen Massachusetts "Race for the Cure" in Boston on this weekend where she will be on hand to encourage racers.
"As Miss USA, our platform is Breast Cancer and Ovarian Cancer awareness and education," Brady said in an interview with NECN. "The event is going to be held on Sunday and they are expecting a lot of people to go which is great. It's beautiful."

Words on Wednesday!
Each of our designers have a really unique style. People always ask what companies are looking for when it comes to teams and I think one of them is diversity.
Speaking of teams………..we are going to be announcing the names of our BRAND NEW Card Design Team any day now! Everyone has officially said, "yes" so we are ready to go. Exciting stuff!!!!
Design Team Member April Derrick not can not only work the Core but she has a unique style AND she always has the neatest titles on her projects. I don't know about you but titles can be the hardest part of a layout. I recently scrapped some photos of our trip to New York City and all three layouts had the same title, "NYC"!
So today is all about words, ie, titles!
How fun is this title? Makes me smile because this is something we can all relate to for sure.
And take a look at the bottom blue strip…April embossed and layered some mists on it. Love that texture!
And next up …another fun from April. Check all the cool details…first up I notice the sanding of the Whitewash right away and then April does a lot of tone on tone in her layouts. Then to whave her title stand out, she outlines them with marker.
We hope that we inspired you to get creative with those layouts and titles!

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyBotos are usually observed either singly or in pairs although groups of up to 15 animals have been recorded (5). They appear to be most active during the early morning and late evening (5); slow swimmers they generally travel at around two kilometres per hour (2). Botos are reported to be playful and curious creatures, approaching boats and pulling on paddles as well as interacting with each other (2). Their flexible bodies allow botos to swim in shallow areas and to weave in and out of the trees in floodwaters; they are also known to swim upside down, possibly because their chubby cheeks make downwards vision difficult (2). Botos feed on a variety of fish and crab species (4); using echolocation to locate prey in the murky waters of the rainforest rivers (2). Females reach sexual maturity at between six and ten years of age and the gestation period is around 11 months (7). A single calf is born in July just as the water levels are beginning to drop, thus forcing fish back into the major waterways (7). The interval between births may be as much as five years, and botos are thought to live for as long as 30 years (7).

Father's Day Tree 2013, 25th Anniversary Edition
3 comments:
Wonderful idea and great photos! We had a similar tree at my childhood home - planted when the first child was born almost 60 years ago now. Last time I drove by the home (out of the family for 10 years now), it had been cut down.ReplyDelete
Yes, from 2007 to 2013 it looks as if it simply lost a few bottom branches. It looks great in this year's photo. REALLY amazing to see how much it grew in only 25 years. Hard to believe.ReplyDelete
Truly amazing to see how much that tree grew in only 25 years. The latest photo in 2013 is great -- looks like it simply lost a few bottom branches from the storm. Can't believe it is the same tree as when your daughter was a year old.ReplyDelete

Police Looking For Douglas County Jail Escapee
Springfield police say that a man who escaped from a Douglas County jail remains on the loose following a fight with a police officer and evading gun fire after driving a stolen car toward another officer. The Eugene Register-Guard reports that police are eager to track down and arrest Thomas Ivan Grimes.
Police say Sgt. Pete Kirkpatrick suffered minor injuries in a fight with Grimes that broke out about 3:40 a.m. Thursday. Kirkpatrick had approached the 32-year-old as the suspect stood by a Honda Prelude that the sergeant had identified as being stolen earlier this week from the Roseburg area.
After scuffling with Kirkpatrick, Grimes got back into the vehicle and drove it directly toward officer Jared Quinones, who fired multiple shots at the car, striking it at least once.
Police do not believe that Grimes was hit by gunfire.

The four paddlers were selected based on their performance at the 2013 U.S. Sprint Team Trials in Oklahoma City, Okla, April 26-27. The 2013 World Championships Team will be named after the World Cups.
Shaun Caven of Oklahoma City is the coach.
Kaitlyn McElroy, Women's Kayak: "I think it was a solid start to our season. We were able to make positive changes for each successive race, which is what we want to be able to do. We had a good race in the 1000m. We were able to stay in touch with the leaders throughout the race and so when we kicked it in at the end we were able to put ourselves on the podium. Unfortunately we started our kick a few meters to late to catch the two Hungarian crews but the finish was something we had gone into the race wanting to improve and we did. The 500m races were solid. There are a few technical things we can work on to improve boat run but overall it was a good start to the season. We will start implementing the things we learned this coming week in training."
Tim Hornsby, Men's Kayak: "We are all working hard for the same goal to take American canoeing to the next level and its very exciting to be in an such a positive environment with Ryan, Maggie, and Kaitlin all striving towards such lofty goals. I love competing with them against the best in the world and really love seeing everyone do so well. I dream about it all year, It really makes all of the hard work training worthwhile. I'm excited to see what this team can accomplish in the next World Cups and at the World Championships. It's going to be an exciting year."

Dell recently started to offer the latest addition to ATI Technologies' latest high-end product line – the RADEON X800 SE – in some of its systems intended for games and entertainment. The availability of a product from one of the world's largest computer makers may suggest that such graphics cards are likely to emerge for sale in retail market shortly.
ATI Technologies Delivers X800's "Weakest Link"
ATI RADEON X800 SE graphics cards is the third graphics product in ATI RADEON X800 lineup unveiled in early May. According to Dell, the graphics card has a 425MHz graphics processor, 128MB of DDR SDRAM memory with 256-bit bus width along with typical set of connectors, such as D-Sub, DVI-I and TV-Out.
So far Dell has been spotted offering only PCI Express x16 flavour of the RADEON X800 SE product.
Earlier this year unofficial sources claimed that the RADEON X800 SE graphics chip had 8 pixel pipelines. By contrast, ATI RADEON X800 PRO and ATI RADEON X800 XT graphics processors boast with 12 and 16 pixel pipelines respectively, delivering greater performance in the majority of cases. Dell did not disclose the number of rendering pipes for the RADEON X800 SE.
According to the previously released information, the RADEON X800 SE will cost about $299, complementing the existing offerings with recommended pricing of $399 and $499. Dell's customers will receive the RADEON X800 SE for $180 when upgrading to it from ATI RADEON X300 SE graphics card installed by default.
ATI RADEON X800 SE promises to be more powerful compared to ATI RADEON 9800 XT in the majority of cases. In case the speed gap is enough substantial, when available, the product may put quite some pressure on sales of NVIDIA's GeForce 6800 graphics offering at the same price-point.
ATI RADEON X800 SE Modification - Another Lottery For Computer Enthusiasts?
In order to pick up the number of chips that could be sold to customers, ATI Technologies added a capability to disable defective rendering pipelines – certain corrupted integrated circuits inside graphics processor – so that they did not affect the operating process of the chip negatively.
Such cut-down products are typically sold at lower price-points compared to full-speed SKUs, but still deliver performance that is high-enough to attract attention of gamers. But because of high speed and low cost the demand for such graphics cards is usually above the level the company is able to supply such "partly-faulty" chips. As a result, the firm disables the rendering pipelines, sometimes referred as "pixel pipelines" on fully-functional graphics processors so to fulfill the demand. Since there is usually a way to re-enable the pipelines, some experienced end-users succeed in this and the product series quickly becomes very popular among such type of customers.
In the past two years ATI Technologies unveiled two graphics designs that allowed to re-enable 4 pixel pipelines and end up with a powerful visual processing unit with 8 rendering pipes – the RADEON 9500 and the RADEON 9800 SE. To set the additional pipes work, a number of measures could be performed: from installation of certain software to re-soldering certain resistors on the graphics processor. While it is natural that not all graphics cards allow such modification, power-users usually try to play the lottery.
Earlier this year it was discovered that certain RADEON X800 PRO graphics processors may be transformed into RADEON X800 XT chips by activating 4 pipelines. As soon as the RADEON X800 SE reaches retail, enthusiasts will try to re-enable 4 or 8 pipelines in an attempt to add muscle and get a more powerful graphics card out of a performance-mainstream product. Since the RADEON X800 SE features 256-bit memory bus, not 128-bit bus as previously reported, enabling of additional rendering pipelines will deliver performance comparable to more expensive SKUs from the RADEON X800-series of products.
Limited Availability?
While the previous "SE" versions of high-end graphics processors, such as RADEON 9800 SE, were pretty popular among enthusiasts, not all retailers and e-tailers offered them to clients. Sources close to ATI said that the company has strong yields of the RADEON X800 PRO graphics processors and doubted there will be a lot of RADEON X800 SE graphics cards available on the channel market in the short-term.
Officials from ATI Technologies did not immediately returned the inquiry seeking for comment.
