i'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post in but i thought i'd give it a try anyways.
last year october i participated in a tefl course in buenos aires. we were the first class of a new program and so alot was still a bit disorganized. in the end, i fell out with the head of the program because of personal differences. i was told that i 'barely' passed to acheive my TEFL certificate (this was, also, told to all my classmates which was also a bit unprofessional) and still i failed to receive my certificate in the mail!! regardless of by how much i passed i believe i still deserve to receive my certificate because we paid alot of money for the course and to live in buenos aires for 2 months! i've sent a few emails regarding this matter to the head of the program and they have yet to respond.
what i'm asking is, is there a way for me to get a refund? do you think this is an appropriate action? i just believe that i've been 'ripped off' by being denied my certificate. i need it to prove that i participated so that i can begin applying to colleges and i think that this is COMPLETELY unnecessary. despite our differences the organizer should still have sent my certificate.
any advice would be appreciated. thankyou!


text: This is an article in a personal blog, "The life style of mizumizu" in Japan. Translated from Japanese. A masterpiece of Miki Ando, the exhibition program, "Concierto de Aranjuez" August 15th, 2010 JST By mizumizu As for the exhibition program of Miki Ando, "Requiem" in last season was splendid, too, but "Concierto de Aranjuez" which is one of the exhibition programs in this season is wonderful still more. It is the masterpiece which not only has an athletic forcefulness but also is full of womanly feeling. The TV commentator, who may be aiming at livening up the audience, is apt to admire saying, "This player is evolving year by year" easily, but, in fact, for example, if a player made a impressive program in a certain season, it is difficult that the player makes the program which is same or more impressive than it in the next season. However, the expressive power of Ando is undoubtedly increasing mellowness every year. The feminine beauty which she originally has, including the fascinating body shape, and then the attractiveness as athlete which is derived from the high athletic ability. Such an advantage in each part is being combined excellently in the program of this season. If talking of Miki Ando, there is an image as the player with the dynamic jump, but in this program, the audience will forget that she has not jumped except a double Axel. While adopting many elements of the ice dance, it is the performance by Miki Ando, which nobody can perform except Miki Ando and which possesses a fascination which Ice Dance does not have. It is only one performance in the world. It is really splendid. It is very novel while the design of the costume, too, introduces classical elements. As for the costume of Ando, we was surprised all the time in last season, but the fully worked-out design, too, in this time is worth seeing. Specifically, the contrast of the feel of a material is chic. As for the collar, it draws a curve to the chest from the standing collar, but the material there gives off glossy brilliance and is somewhat solemn. But then arranging the race of the delicate pattern boldly so as to become a form of triangle from the under part of the widely opened back to the front part of the body, it is creating a light atmosphere. The skirt of the see-through material consists of two colors with an irregular cut. The inside of the collar and the under part of the skirt are red. Then, the point putting red also in the hair ornament indirectly is smart. The cutting of the skirt which lengthened the backside makes her look like an adult more and is beautiful. Because, moreover, she shows a thigh till the considerable upper part by the high-leg-cutting, the leg with a sexual feeling can see like a more long leg, is a good balance and is very beautiful, such as when she rotated a spin. When Ando gathers hair up tightly, parting her hair in the middle or at the side, her Oriental features look attractive. I felt so when she acted as a model of VOGUE but the hairstyle also of this time suits Ando well. "Concierto de Aranjuez" is Takeshi Honda's magnum opus program and it is difficult to forget Yukina Oota's program, too, but "Concierto de Aranjuez" of Miki Ando develops in the freer world where was released from the restriction of the program for the competition. The word of "Mon Amour" is repeated persistently. The performance of Miki Ando dyes those same phrases to a different color respectively. Ando is skillful especially at the emotion expression being as if she craves something to someone. But, in this " Concierto de Aranjuez", Miki Ando is full of an adult attractiveness and confidence with attempting to tempt also herself while seeking love. There is no player who is wonderful like Ando when performing "woman" itself, but the charm of Miki Ando is not only that. The movement etc which she moves a shoulder with big back and forth according to the rhythm looks like the first indications itself of the energy which the life which transcended ones like the emotion and the feelings, has. Nevertheless, a smiling face which she now and then shows is even artless and innocent, as if it is not one which was turned toward someone but one which a girl who enjoys the world of only her own, shows. For performing such a body expression which the lively youthfulness and the matured composure intermingle strangely, the teens have not sufficient experience yet. Even if saying so, but if they are its second half even if being their twenties, the tint will come different also. It may be the "taste" which she can flavor because the generation of present Ando is the first half of her twenties. I am sure that present Miki Ando has the self-confidence to herself, which she could not have even if wanting to have it in her teen ages. At the time before the Turin Olympics when the media had been inciting her, saying, "the quadruple jump!, the quadruple jump!", she used to say, "I intend to retire from eligible skater in about 20 years old because I think that I can not win to Mao or Yu-Na Kim after 4 years". In those days, saying honestly, I had not imagined at all that such a girl who was good at the jumps becomes a fascinating adult performer like this. Because the fact like this happens, it is difficult to know the figure skating. The player sometimes achieves the transformation which exceeded the expectation of the fan. Of course, it sometimes becomes a result which disappoints one's expectations, too, in fact there are much more such cases than the good cases, but as for Miki Ando, the flower bloomed bigly in the direction where a lot of Japanese fans didn't expect. Most of the general fans are thinking at heart that the figure skating is not pleasant, if there is not a jump. However an expert says, "The jump is no more than a part of the figure skating ", the jump is most splendid flower in the figure skating after all. However, the most of what crosses our mind is not always a jump, but a slight movement, a gesture, a blink-of-an-eye pose, etc, when imagining "the impressive scene" of the past able skater who went down in history of the figure skating after the time passes. Miki Ando who had been famous as the genius jumper, too, is going to take part in the family of such the able skaters. By this exhibition program, Ando showed to the audience that she has such ability. Because the coach who made the charm of Miki Ando flower, was not a Japanese but Nikolai Morozov who came from Russia, I have complicated feelings a little. However, it is not a very active feelings. If the Japanese has raised Ando while taking a leading part in the project without Morozov, she may have been remaining the player of the natural ability of jumps who is challenging the quadruple Salchow as ever. I become such a feelings all the more, when I remember an attitude of the media. They ask her a question, saying, "Do you attempt the quad jump in the free skating?", every time doing an interview, and they had made only the story of the big skill like the quad an article still, without losing interest, although the rule of ISU had been laying siege to the jumper. As the performer to express with the body, including the charming looks, Ando emits the feeling of the one and only existence. As for her, there is nothing to complain of as far as the expressive power is concerned, but there is somewhat dissatisfied part, too, yet as for "the skating skill" of the basics. For example, in the first part, she is coming skating all along in the spiral position of the one leg, then replaces a leg and enters spin. This part is just part which can appreciate "the skating skill". Of course, it is stunning even to be only able to perform such an element, but I feel uneasy because the blade is unstable somewhat when she is skating with the spiral. The commentator sometimes praises well, saying, "He is skating relaxedly as if he is being united with the ice" as for the skating of the Takahashi or Kozuka, but I wish that she mastered a skating skill to catch ice tightly like that. In case of the competition program, it may be to satisfy the requirement of the element but her body is often apt to become a posture leaned forward extremely in the spiral, but, as for this exhibition program, there is not such the defect at all and the posture and the pose are very beautiful. I can recognize that she is skating to the music politely, but, if, as for the part where she is merely skating, she had a suitable contrast moreover in the speed as well as her blade was stable, I had nothing to say... However, it may be too demanding somewhat. As for the basic technique of such a skating, it is not always the one "to make progress if training for a long time". As for the player who is good at a basic skating, mostly the skill is pretty complete already in about 17 years old. No, actually, it may be younger. It may be just similar to the technique of the musical instrument like a violin that "the technical peak" is early. The taste may deepen if playing the violin for many years, but, if there is a gap between the basic techniques, it may not close even if any year spends. As for the figure skating, too, it may be the same. Of course, I don't aim at discussing that Miki Ando who had won the Worlds Champion is poor at the basic skill. In some cases, the part which is not at the textbook becomes taste, too, and Miki Ando is greeting a ripening stage as Miki Ando. A lot of persons may think that there is not any kind of problem as for Ando's skating. Even as for the part of the very basic skating however, I think that she still may be able to improve herself, because she has the ability to have polished the quality of various elements so far.

Benny Benassi
A second Benassi Bros. album, ...Phobia, appeared in 2005 before he went on to consolidate and improve his reputation on the DJ circuit with a number of prestigious headline festival performances. His summer 2007 remix of Public Enemy's "Bring the Noise" went on to win a Grammy in early 2008, further enhancing his profile and leading to work with big names such as David Bowie and Madonna. Summer 2008 brought another solo album, Rock 'n' Rave, but it was 2011's Electroman that featured some of his most internationally successful material: the Kelis-fronted "Spaceship," the Chris Brown-led "Beautiful People," and the Gary Go collaboration "Cinema." The year 2012 was marked by Benassi's production work on Madonna's MDNA, and 2013 brought "Dance the Pain Away," a solo single that featured John Legend. ~ David Jeffries & James Wilkinson

It's an app that tracks various stats when you're out skiing or snowboarding. You also get snow reports, tracking, and much more. A sister app was released later in the year called Active Fitness – it's from the team behind Winter, but aimed at general sports and activities. We've got the 2013/2014 ski season coming up, which is the perfect time for them to release a Windows 8 version of Winter. Let's check it out.

Green Bay Drops Two Horizon League Road Contests
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
INDIANAPOLIS (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay women's tennis team (3-12, 2-5 Horizon League) suffered a pair of Horizon League road losses over the weekend, dropping 7-0 results to Wright State (Saturday) and Butler (Sunday).
Playing in its first outdoor match of the season Sunday against the Bulldogs, the Phoenix was paced by a strong doubles performance by the duo of Amanda Timm (Milwaukee, Wis.) and Samantha Iwen (De Pere, Wis.). The freshmen picked up an 8-5 win over Butler's Kahfii King and Kate Panawash at the No. 3 doubles spot for the team's lone win of the day.
"It was a
great doubles effort by Timm and Iwen," Phoenix head coach Sara Schubring said. "They set each other up very well off of the serve and
fought hard for the win."
On Saturday against Wright State the Phoenix was unable to take any of the singles or doubles matches as the Raiders swept the doubles point and picked up straight-set wins in all six singles contests.
"It was disappointing not to put points
on the board this late in the season," Schubring said. "In doubles
Wright State started out strong and we struggled to take charge at the
net. In singles it was encouraging to see the team show the courage to
adapt tactics to match up with a very good team in our league. Execution
wasn't there, but the gap is closing and despite the loss on paper,
spirit is strong and improvement was made."
Green Bay returns home to Western Racquet and Fitness Club for its regular season finale on Friday at 6 p.m.

Ad.com Attends IAB Event for Small Publishers
Jun 14, 2012
Small publishers from all over the country recently got together for the Interactive Advertising Bureau's Long Tail Alliance Fly-In in Washington, and I had the opportunity to attend and speak to the group about the Advertising.com network and trends we see in the marketplace. The goal for the two-day meeting, now in its fourth year, is to give these small digital businesses a chance to share knowledge, hear from interactive advertising leaders and be heard by Congress.
During my presentation, I focused on premium formats, mobile and video and shared the risks of user-generated content not only to advertisers, but to website brands as well. The group also heard from Rick Jaworski from JoyofBaking.com, who gave a great presentation on how he uses video to grow his online audience through YouTube. JoyofBaking now attracts more video views on YouTube than Martha Stewart, Epicurious and the Food Network combined! His success story likely inspired many publishers at the event to rethink their video strategies.
Jeff Tennery from mobile advertising company Millennial Media also gave an interesting presentation on rich media buys on mobile devices. Other presentations addressed life as a publisher and touched on legal rules as well as how the political landscape can affect their small businesses.
On day two, we headed to Capitol Hill where IAB shared its view with lawmakers that Do Not Track legislation proposed in Congress last year would not only hurt large Internet companies but would threaten the livelihood of online entrepreneurs. The Fly-In group split into small groups to visit their congressmen to share concerns about the proposed legislation. They told their representatives about their sites and businesses and pointed out how online ad targeting has increased ad effectiveness and their earnings over the past few years.
The group reminded the congressmen that before online targeting, consumers were faced with more ads and pop-ups, and poorer quality advertisers.

A brand and model name/number would help out tremendously here, but lacking that, I'll speak in generic terms.
If the cylinder was sliding FORWARD off the frame, and taking the crane/yoke with it (the part that the cylinder pivots open and closed on), it was probably missing the front sideplate screw or whatever the equivalent is in that design.
If the cylinder was sliding off REARWARD, then it was probably missing a small frame stud that normally sticks out behind and below the cylinder, on the left-hand side. In many designs, this stud (or frame projection), bearing against the rear face of the cylinder, is the only thing that keeps the cylinder from sliding off the yoke/crane when it is pivoted open.
If I had to guess, I'd say the first choice above is the most likely option. As you said, most of us would like to believe that all guns come from the factory with all their required parts, but as a person who once bought a new big-name autoloading pistol that had parts missing, I know that this isn't always the case.

Stockholm is the capital of Sweden, and it is the most populous city in the Nordic region. The city, and the larger areas surrounding the city, is made up of small islands. It has a world famous archipelago just outside the city, it is a must see for anyone visiting Stockholm! Here are some other must-sees to consider when planning your visit to Sweden's beautiful, historic capital.
– The Vasa Museum: This museum is home to the best-preserved shipwreck in the world. The ship on display sunk in 1627, just after setting sail, and was recovered in 1961 in almost perfect condition. The museum offers insight into the purpose of the ship, how it was found, and how it was recovered.
–Djurgarden: This is a large island just east of Gamla Stan. It is home to many museums, such as the Vasa museum, and Skansen. It also hosts a small amusement park. Some people also call this island home. If you have a free day, explore everything this island has to offer, it is like a small oasis in the bustling metropolis of Stockholm.
–Archipelago: As mentioned in the introduction, the archipelago is not to be missed. You can take a short or long boat tour of the archipelago, and stop on small islands to explore. They have parks to bike around and hike, you can stop off of one of the many fishing ports and try to catch some dinner. There is an activity for everyone. Extend your trip overnight in one of themany Bed and Breakfasts.
–Gamla Stan: This is the oldest part of the city, it used to be the main part where all of the politics were dealt with. The streets are lined with cobblestones; the buildings feature that old European architecture, tons of little shops and restaurants, and incredible views of other parts of the city like Sodermalm and Djurgarden. Gamla Stan has become a little touristy, but it has not become too touristy like other capitals in Europe. During Christmas, there are a lot of Christmas markets with hand made trinkets.
–Skansen: This is the world's first open-air museum, founded back in 1891. Here you can get a real sense of just how vast Swedish history is, with exhibits spanning over five centuries. During the summer, there are traditional Swedish performances in the evening. Along with anthropological items, there are also exhibits on the animals of Sweden, complete with a children's petting zoo. Also, during the major holidays, there are special events you should not miss.

Wayne Law Student Receives American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers Scholarship
DETROIT (May 13, 2009) – Second-year Wayne State University Law School student Sarah McElwaney received a $2,500 scholarship from the Michigan Chapter of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) at the Chapter's annual seminar held at the Townsend Hotel in Birmingham on May 7, 2009.
Wayne Law Professor Joan Mahoney nominated McElwaney for the award. Michael Robbins, '81, president of the Michigan Chapter of the AAML, selected her as the recipient due to her strong interest in family law.

Well here is the latest blueprint/templates hot from my laptop. Don't know how many folks are interested in this particular subject, but with the recent discovery of the source of the stock over at the RPF I just couldn't leave this subject alone. Here is link to the RPF thread;
The blueprints are intended to be printed out on 11" X 17" paper with a .25" boarder. If you don't have access to a printer that can handle 11" X 17" I suggest going to someplace like Kinkos to get them printed full size. Just Download the PDF file below to get the full size version.
So take a look let me know what you thing and if you end up building one please post it.

|For those of you basically familiar with IBM Workload Deployer, you are likely aware that the appliance has many different capabilities. On the surface it is a cloud management device for middleware and middleware applications. Of course, there are quite a few details that are important to understanding the functionality provided, and I spend quite a bit of my time talking with various users and potential users about these details. One thing I have noticed that can become an obstacle in having effective communication regarding IBM Workload Deployer is the lack of a commonly understood language. I sometimes find that me and the user are simply using different terminology to describe the same thing. As you can imagine, this just serves to create confusion, and neither party gets the most out of the conversation.
|In order to combat this communication gap, I thought I would put together a simple presentation that introduces and defines IBM Workload Deployer terminology. Check it out below (you can also download it here):

|While the presentation does not dive deep into the terms it introduces, it does provide a basic definition and illustrative example of each. My hope is that this fosters an understanding of some of the basic concepts in IBM Workload Deployer, and ultimately pushes us towards a common vernacular. Please let me know what you think!

text: I know this is one of those "most ridiculed and hated" teams, or more like Yuko is the one, in the web world. But I am really sorry to see them end their career on that note. I know the LP is still ahead and everything can happen and I hope they can fight to the end. While not the biggest fan, I have always admired Yuko's bravery, sacrifice, and dedication to sport along with that special caring relationship Alexander, Yuko and Tamara have. Please relax, skate from your heart tomorrow and be happy in your professionla and personal lives! Good Luck!

A recent study by BBC Wildlife Magazine, revealed startling information concerning the growing distance between the natural world and the world of children being raised in the 21st century. The survey revealed children have lost touch with the natural world and are unable to even identify common animals and plants. The study indicated that playing in the countryside was children's least popular way of spending their spare time, and they would rather see friends or play on their computer than go for a walk or play outdoors. Less than two-thirds(62%) were able to identify a frog and only 12% knew what a primrose was. About 45% could identify an oak tree while 42% mistook a newt for a lizard.
Sir Richard Attenborough warned "the wild world is becoming so remote to children that they miss out.. and an interest in the natural world doesn't grow as it should. Nobody is going to protect the natural world unless they understand it." many experts blame the widening gulf between children and nature to over-protective parents and the hostility of conservationists who fear children will damage the environment. There is less exposure to free play in the natural world than what occurred in past history.
Dr. Martin Maudsey, of Playwork Partnerships, notes "something magical occurs when children and wild space mix." I was raised in the slums of the south Bronx in New York City but like most of my friends spent hours wandering through parks seeing the natural world of animals. In the history of humanity, many brilliant ideas emerged from a human making a connection between the natural world and a problem being confronted.

US Geneeral Robert Cone has come out against a plan by British officials to arm local militias in an atempt to defeat the Taliban. he charged that "anything that distracts from a professional well-led police force is not the answer." Prime Minister Gordon Brown has spoken of his desire to support "community defence initiatives, where local volunteers are recruited to defend homes and families modeled on traditional Afghan arbakai." The arbakai system entailed arming untraianed Afghan men who agree to help defend their villages. British officials believe local engagement in the defense of their villages is the best way to ward off the growth of al-Qaeda and the Taliban, but American military leaders fear such a policy would result in the growth in power of local warlords. General Cone is attempting to remodel the Afghan police force into an honest and well equipped group that can maintain law and order.
There is no question the British government is interested in exploring alternative strategies to deal with fighting in Afghanistan while American military leaders believe the policies they have been pursuing for the past six years eventually will work. US and NATO forces are confronting a non-professional opposition which lacks formal military training, but still has the capacity to inflict defeat upon formal military forces. Perhaps, it is time to fight fire with fire and empower Afghans to assume responsibility for dealing with insurgents in any manner that might work.

text: Sorry if this is "old news," but there doesn't seem to be a search function on this forum... Anyway, buried in the figure skating qualifying procedures for Sochi (the short version: 75% of the spots filled through the 2013 Worlds, and the remaining 25% through the 2013 Nebelhorn Trophy), are the instructions for the "team competition" for Sochi. According to the document, there will be 10 countries (which will qualify based on the 2013-14 ISU Grand Prix events and the 2013 Worlds / Europeans / Four Continents), which enter one man, one woman, one pair, and one dance couple, each of which skate a short program (presumably separately from the non-team competitions for those disciplines); the top five teams (based on 10 for first, 9 for second, and so on) then skate a free skate/dance, and the placing points are added to the short program placing points to determine the final results. The qualifying documents (for speed skating as well as figure skating) are available in a ZIP file here. (The details on the team competition are in an appendix near the end.)

... its being reported that a home robbery [was]... reported, after the maps showing where gun owners are located were published in newspapers. ...I think those newspaper editors will not be coming out of hiding anytime soon. And I am glad that the newspapers circulation took a nose dive as subscriptions were cancelled.
What amendment number is 'freedom of speech' in our Constitution again?
... What amendment ...'freedom of speech' in our Constitution...?
Now explain this one to me. :? Why would logical robbers break into a house that is KNOWN to have deadly weapons inside? Isn't the whole NRA pretense for arming everybody with military grade weapons so we can defend ourselves against the criminals? Seems that hypothesis really isn't proving true in here is it? The guns are drawing in the criminals (allegedly) and yet said guns have been ineffective in protecting the homes from robbery? Do I sense yet ANOTHER hole in our Conservative's logic?
when I was in about the second grade, I learned the difference in robbery and burglary.

As you probably already guessed, you'd still find the polystyrene peanut intact, although maybe a little more ragged. You wouldn't find any trace of the starch peanut. That's because of the presence of water in the soil and plenty of bacteria eager to break down the starch and use its sugars for energy.

If Lukasz Fabianski has his way, he'll get his hands on some silverware before William Gallas does this season.
The Polish goalkeeper would love to see his French team-mate hold aloft the Premier League trophy, the Champions League trophy and the FA Cup - and preferably all three - but before that Fabianski is determined to lift the Carling Cup at Wembley in February.
The 23-year-old has captained Arsenal's Carling Cup kids since making his second start for the Club in the Fourth-Round win at Sheffield United last season. It's strange to think of Fabianski as the 'old man' of any side - he has only made 11 first-team appearances - but it's a responsibility the affable Pole relishes as he prepares for this term's Fourth-Round test against Wigan.
"I was really really happy to be named captain and also I think it's a big honour to be a captain of that kind of team in this kind of club," Fabianski told Arsenal.com.
"We just want to win the Carling Cup now and I hope it is me who gets to lift the trophy. It is a long way until that though so I am just going to focus on the next game against Wigan.
"They are a really good team. They have had some good results already this season, and I have seen that they have a physical team, they have big boys in the squad. I am really looking forward to the game and I am really happy because it's a team from the Premier League."
With six clean sheets in his 10 starts to date, Fabianski is already challenging Manuel Almunia for the No 1 spot. And if he gets to lift a Cup in three months' time, the Pole will emulate a very famous Arsenal custodian - David Seaman, who captained the side to victory at the 2003 FA Cup Final in Cardiff.
Fabianski chuckles at the comparison. "You cannot compare me at the moment to David Seaman!" he insists. "I am at the beginning - I hope - of my road at Arsenal. At the moment I am happy to be captain in the Carling Cup but I have to look forward and show the best of myself in every training session and every game."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

We haven't been getting out of the house much lately. That's partly due to the fickle weather we've been having. One day it will be beautiful and perfect, and the next it will be rainy and freezing. One day we're using the air conditioning, and the next it's the heater. Back and forth and back again. Oh Texas. I still love you.
I was really excited for a trip to the park as a family. The weather was nice, and the lighting was just the right mix of sun and clouds for taking pictures even without any shade.
Cady's favorite part of the playground is not the play but the ground. She loves mulch, rocks, or even rubber– whatever it is they use to cushion the ground for kids to play on. She was digging in the pebbles, building what she calls "sand castles," and finding all sorts of treasures like a shell and a dirty Capri Sun straw that she put in her mouth before we had a chance to take it away. It immediately went in the trash after that of course. She must have had quite a good time because she took a nap soon after getting home even though she had woken up late yesterday.
The leaf is the flag of her "sand castle."

Well guys and gals, almost 7 years ago, I embarked on a journey. And that journey was researching how to make the best ESB Boba out there. Well finally my dreams are coming to life with my new financial situation. Now that I have obtained most my pieces, my focus has come to my rifle.
After countless nights in discussion with our own BraksBuddy, I am on a quest to truly replicate the pieces of the ESB Fett rifle.
Now as we all know, the base, the Webley Mark 1 No. 1 Flare pistol.
The scope, as an ASI 4x20...
The End Barrel, an MPP flash tube
The scope blocks Molex Connectors.
Now...it hasnt really ever been discussed as to what the scope rings around the muzzle of the flare gun truly are. Here are the best Ref photos out there.
Now from my hours of research, ive come across a few items that I am debating could be the rings on these rifles.
- 1. Muffler Clamps
- 2. Cable Clamps for motorcycles
- 3. Oetiker Ear Clamps
- 4. Spring clamps
Now I personally believe, that these clamps are varying sizes of the Motorcycle cable clamps. The shape is similar, and would explain the cross T on the upper part of the clamp. Anyone else have anything resembling?

Green Bay Defeats Penguins in Battle of League's Top Two Teams

GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - In front of 3,388 strong, the Green Bay women's basketball team came out on top in a battle of the league's first- and second-place teams with a 60-46 win against Youngstown State. With the win, the Phoenix improves to 21-2 overall and 11-0 in the Horizon League with a three-game lead over Youngstown State, which fell to 17-6 and 7-3 in conference play.
"Youngstown State is really good, it's obvious," head coach Kevin Borseth said. "They take it to the hole, they shoot really well and they play a very physical style of defense-very physical."
For the second straight game, senior Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.) opened the game with a three, giving Green Bay the 3-0 lead less than a minute in. It was the first of seven threes in the first five minutes of the game.
Youngstown State's Liz Hornberger hit the first of five straight three's in the game to cut Green Bay's lead to 5-3, but after the teams finished exchanging triples Green Bay held an 11-9 lead with 15:39 remaining in the half.
The Phoenix had its lead trimmed to 11-10 off a Shar'Rae Davis free throw, but the home team sparked a 9-0 run with a three from Lydia Bauer (Lake Zurich, Ill.). Bauer hit three three's in the game, finishing with nine points.
Leading 20-10 with 12:50 remaining in the half, Green Bay was held scoreless for nearly five and a half minutes while the Penguins took the lead at 21-20 with 7:51 remaining. A flashy dish inside from Megan Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) to Stephanie Sension (Hopkins, Minn.) stopped the run and put the Phoenix back on top 22-21 just seconds later. It was just one of a career-high nine assists on the day for Lukan.
Green Bay took a 30-25 lead into the locker room, marking the second time in two meetings this season the team led Youngstown State by five at the break.
"The first half was tough, we had a lot of our starters on the bench in foul trouble but we had other people step up and help," Borseth said.
Recent 1,000-point club member Sarah Eichler (Grafton, Wis.) scored just two points in five minutes in the first half, but opened the final frame with a three-the first of 12 points she would score in the half to finish with a team-high 15.
Ritchie extended the lead to 38-27 with a deep shot from downtown at the 17:44 mark, but Youngstown State's Brandi Brown responded with a three of her own to cut the lead back to single digits. On Green Bay's next possession, Bauer hit the third three in a 30-second stretch, putting the lead back at 11.
Eichler gave the Phoenix its largest lead of the day with a layup at the 6:44 mark, putting the score at 57-39. The Penguins scored six unanswered points following the layup, but a jumper from Eichler and a free throw from Sam Zastrow (Algoma, Wis.) was enough to seal the 60-46 win and a three-game lead in the Horizon League standings.
"We still have to play-every game we're going to get everyone's best," Borseth said. "We still have three games on the road, so every game will be a battle."
Eichler led Green Bay with 15 points on 7-10 shooting, while Ritchie added 11 points, nine rebounds and tied her career high with three blocked shots. Sension and Bauer each had nine points, while Breannah Ranger (Skokie, Ill.) had six points and tied her career high with 11 rebounds.
Brown led Youngstown State with a game-high 20 points, but grabbed just six rebounds after entering the contest averaging nearly 12 boards per game. Hornberger had 11 points, while Davis rounded out the Penguins in double-figure scoring with 10 points.
NEXT ON THE SCHEDULE: The Phoenix will have a six-day break before returning to action against Valparaiso in the annual PinkZone game on Saturday, Feb. 23. The team will wear special pink and grey uniforms to raise breast cancer awareness. To date, more than $77,000 has been raised for the Cancer TEAM at Bellin Health. Green Bay defeated the Crusaders 78-55 on the road in a Jan. 26 matchup.

text: Ok here is the issue I need a hand with. I am new to Ruger's and as such I am not familuar with the tear down beyond feild strip for normal cleaning. I just bought a used P94 .40 cal and have found a good instructional video on how to fully disasemble the slide but not the lower assembly. Being used I would like to do a detailed cleaning and inspection as well as get to know the build of my gun. I am sure its simple enough to disasemble and reasemble I just want to have some guide to fallow rather than try to figure it out and find I screwed up in the end. Would any one have some advice on where I might try looking. I have already tryed the obvouis Ruger website, and yes youtube as well ( I know why youtube ..... there is alot of usefull stuff there). Now so every one understands I am no gunsmith but I am capable when it comes to disasembly and reasembly of my firearms once I get a bit of knowledge on the paticular gun. In short I dont know all guns but I do want to know all my guns

Best Class?
Even though they will be moving into the Big East, the Memphis Tigers are currently in Conference USA so they fit in this category, and they clearly brought in an elite class. Josh Pastner and his coaching staff hit the recruiting trail hard and now a top five class is coming their way.
Leading the way for Memphis is a hometown kid in Nick King. King is a five-star prospect and one of the better forwards in the country. He is an excellent athlete, can score going to the rim, and has really improved on his jump shot over the past year. His commitment was an enormous pickup for the Tigers, and instantly he should be a major contributor.
While King leads the way in the class Austin Nichols, Kuran Iverson, and Rashawn Powell give the Tigers three four-star commitments to help round out a very impressive class along with three-star Markel Crawford.
Iverson is an elite athlete with uber potential, and he has shown signs recently of putting it all together at the forward spot. Powell is a scoring point guard who can really get going from deep, Nichols is a skilled post player who can score down low or from the mid-range, and then Crawford is the type of lockdown defender every team needs.
Overall this is one of the best classes in the country because it has star power and depth. Pastner and company are recruiting at an elite level, and this class could pace the Tigers to several long runs in March.
Other Winners?
Look no further than BYU, SMU, and San Diego State for some other winners in non power conferences. All three did an excellent job on the recruiting trail this year and will bring in some impact players for the upcoming year.
|Non-BCS Rankings
1. Memphis
4. San Diego State
6. Dayton
7. Butler
8. Rhode Island
9. Virginia Commonwealth
10. St. Mary's
Like with Memphis, SMU is on the move to the Big East, and they will do it with a four-star recruit in Sterling Brown. Brown is one of the more well rounded prospects in the country. He is very smart, rebounds, makes shots, and just impacts the game in a ton of ways. Also power forward Ben Moore oozes potential and junior college post Yanick Moreira is supposed to be one of the elite talents at the level.
Finally maybe no school brought in a tougher and more impressive defender than San Diego State with Dakarai Allen. Allen has locked down the best wings the West Coast has to offer for years, and is beginning to develop some offensive game. Also D'Erryl Williams is a good athlete who can really run a team, and should have the Aztecs as one of the best offenses in the West.
How the Non BCS school stack up?
|Top Non-BCS Prospects
|Top Prospect:
|Nick King, Memphis
|Best Scorer:
|RaShawn Powell, Memphis
|Best Passer:
|Dayshon Smith, Dayton
|Best Shot Blocker:
|Christian Wood, UNLV
|Best Floor General:
|Dayshon Smith, Dayton
|Best Post Player:
|Austin Nichols, Memphis
|Best Shooter:
|Nick Emery, BYU
|Best Rebounder:
|Eric Mika, BYU
|Best Athlete:
|Dakarai Allen, San Diego State
Still even with Memphis and SMU moving into a BCS conference in the near future, look for the basketball outside of the power six to remain strong. The Atlantic 10 has brought in a lot of talent and then the Mountain West and West Coast Conference schools are also following suit. March Madness isn't the same without these schools and it looks like they will be around for a long time to come.

Hi all,
I have recently come into possession of a genuine ASI image moving scope. I am an avid star wars fan and so knew this to be the scope from various items (including fetts gun) but do not have the time (nor money!) to begin making an outfit of my own. So I thought It would probably benefit one of you guys on here, however I don't have any idea of the value of this item, and whilst I will probably put it into the cargo hold at some point in the near future, I did read you have to state a price so wondered if any of you could help me out with that. I'm not 100% sure this is in the right place so sorry about that. Just to be specific I'm 99% sure the scope is correct, however it has a different mounting onto the gun so that would have to be sourced elsewhere.
All the best.

Hunter S. Thompson's maniacal, opinionated, sometimes cynical, and always poignant voice was a knife. He cut through the bullshit, the posturing. His honesty about his contradictions and shortcomings allowed us to let our guard down. To own our imperfections and praise the mad tendencies buried deep within our psyche. He went to hell and back to see behind the curtain and to tell us all what he saw. He was a man with a rare, disturbing, and beautiful insight into human nature. He lived ungoverned – free.
Happy birthday, Hunter. You are missed.

Green Bay Women's Tennis Sweeps Valpo 7-0
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
VALPARAISO, Ind. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay women's tennis team (1-17) earned its first victory of the spring season on Saturday afternoon, defeating Valparaiso 7-0 in a road contest at The Courts of NWI. The Crusaders dropped to 1-14 with the loss, while the Phoenix bounced back from its 7-0 setback at UIC on Friday to bring its Horizon League record to 1-2.
The Phoenix began the day by taking two of the three doubles matches to earn the doubles point, and then swept the six singles contests – four of them in straight sets.
In doubles, sophomore Amanda Timm (Milwaukee, Wis.) and senior Rebecca Nelson (Brookfield, Wis.) teamed up for an 8-4 win at No. 1 doubles over Valpo's Kristin Zakiewicz and Michele Fredlake, while freshmen Stephanie Londre (Burlington, Wis.) and Rachael Menos (Appleton, Wis.) collected an 8-4 win over Angelina Goheen and Lauren Kammerer at No. 3.
Singles play saw Timm earn a straight-set win at No. 1 over Zakiewicz (6-4, 7-5), and Maria Anderson (Marshfield, Wis.) and Nelson dominate their singles contests at No. 3 and No. 4. Anderson cruised past Fredlake 6-0, 6-1 in the third spot, and Nelson took down Megan Barthels 6-1, 6-1 at No. 4.
Also earning singles victories were Londre at No. 2 (6-1, 2-6, 10-4 over Kaitlyn Hamel), Samantha Iwen (De Pere, Wis.) at No. 5 (3-6, 7-5, 11-9 over Goheen) and Eleanor O'Brien (Northfield, Minn.) at No. 6 (6-3, 6-2 over Kammerer).
Green Bay will play its first home contest since March 1 this weekend when it begins a three-match homestand at Western Racquet and Fitness. The Phoenix first plays Youngstown State on Saturday at 6 p.m., and then welcomes Cleveland State on Sunday at 2 p.m. The team wraps up the home stretch next Saturday (April 13) versus Wright State at 6 p.m.

text: I didn't take any WIP pics but I thought I would take some of the almost finished product for critique. Any comments on the paint job and weathering would be appreciated since this was first attempt at painting Fett armor. BTW, the yellow is not topical. I painted the yellow in the areas where it would show, masked it off and then painted the green. I have some touch up to do in a few areas and some final weathering. I also have to scratch build a butt plate out of 3mm sintra. The pics of the chest armor came out funny...don't know why, but you get the idea of what it looks like. Might try to post a better pic later.

Keifer Sykes Wins Eighth Career Player of the Week Award
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Green Bay junior guard Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) has been named the Horizon League Player of the Week for the fourth time during the 2013-14 season, the Horizon League office announced on Monday morning. Sykes averaged 19.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists in two Phoenix wins last week as the team extended its winning streak to six and moved to 2-0 in league play.
The fourth weekly award of the season for Sykes coupled with two player of the week honors for senior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) gives Green Bay six awards in nine weeks this season, more than any Phoenix team in program history. The four weekly awards for Sykes are the most in a season by a Phoenix player and tied for the second most in league history.
Including once as a freshman and three times as a sophomore, Sykes has won a program record eight Horizon League Player of the Week awards in his career and is tied for second all-time in conference history with Butler's Darin Archbold, Loyola's Alfrederick Hughes and Xavier's Byron Larkin. The all-time record is 10, set by Detroit's Rashas Phillips.
On Thursday, Sykes posted an efficient 15 points on 5-of-7 shooting from the field and added five rebounds in Green Bay's 66-55 win over Cleveland State. He culminated his week with a near triple-double in an 85-69 victory against Youngstown State. For the week, he shot 60.9 percent from the field.
Against YSU, the 5-foot-11 point guard finished with 24 points, nine assists and a career-high eight rebounds. Hitting 9-of-16 shots from the field, Sykes factored in 18 of the team's 38 field goals without committing a turnover. He also made all six of his free throws and tallied three steals in the win.
On the strength of eight 20-point games this season, Sykes ranks third in the Horizon League in scoring (19.5) while also ranking second in assists per game (5.0). Sykes sits atop the conference in assist-to-turnover ratio at 2.8 and is also among the league leaders in free-throw percentage (5th), minutes (8th), steals (10th) and field goal percentage (11th).
With an 11-3 overall record and a 2-0 mark in Horizon League play, Green Bay will take a break from conference action on Tuesday night, traveling to Sykes' hometown to play at Chicago State at 7 p.m.

Cognitive impairment in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD) can diminish their capacity to provide informed consent for clinical trials, presenting ethical challenges for researchers. A semistructured interview can help determine which people are capable of giving their own informed consent, according to an NIA-supported study in the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry.
The MacArthur Competency Assessment Tool for Clinical Research (MacCAT-CR), an interview tool that assesses 4 decision-making abilities—choice, understanding, appreciation, and reasoning—was administered to 59 people with mild to moderate AD, who were participating in a 13-site clinical trial. Researchers, led by Dr. Jason Karlawish of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia, adapted the interview procedure by allowing individuals to keep a summary of the trial as they answered questions. Three psychiatrists independently reviewed the MacCAT-CR interviews and decided the strength of each subject's capacity to give informed consent.
The researchers found that MacCAT-CR scores, specifically the subscores for understanding, had the best ability to discriminate which subjects were able to provide informed consent. Nearly half of the study group (47 percent) was judged not capable of providing their own consent. However, the authors note, this proportion could vary depending on the risk of the study and the techniques interviewers use to administer the MacCAT-CR. They caution other investigators against using this tool alone to decide which people with AD are capable of providing informed consent, but to use its results "as evidence to guide what is ultimately an ethical judgment."
Karlawish, J., et al. Interpreting the clinical significance of capacity scores for informed consent in Alzheimer disease clinical trials. Am J Geriatr Psychiatry. 2008. 16(7):568-74. Epub 2008 June 12. [1]

Tesha Buck Named Horizon League Freshman of the Week
By Rachel Buck (@GBRachel)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Recording several career-high marks over the weekend, freshman Tesha Buck (Red Wing, Minn.) was recognized for her efforts as she was named the Horizon League Freshman of the Week as announced by the conference office on Monday.
Starting both games over the weekend, Buck averaged 11.0 points, 5.0 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 34.5 minutes to help the Phoenix split a pair of decisions at St. Bonaventure (L, 68-62) and Duquesne (W, 68-60). She finished both games with a career-high 11 points, and against the Dukes on Sunday dished out a game and career-best seven assists. Buck also led the Phoenix from behind the arc over the weekend, shooting 35.7 percent (5-14) from deep.
This season Buck leads the team in assists (15/5.0 APG) and minutes played (98/32.7 MPG) while standing second in points scored (31/10.3 PPG). Her APG total is currently third best in the Horizon League.
It is the second-consecutive week the Phoenix took home conference freshman of the week honors. Mehryn Kraker (West Allis, Wis.) was the first recipient of the honor a week ago.
Wright State's Ivory James joined Buck as she was recognized as the Horizon League Player of the Week.
The Phoenix continues its six-game road trip this weekend, traveling to take on Siena on Friday at 4 p.m. in the first game of the TD Bank Classic hosted by the University of Vermont. It will then face either host Vermont on North Florida on Friday evening.
