New season of "Full Throttle Saloon" Featuring Jackyl's Jesse James Dupree Returns Nov. 30

Full Throttle Saloon founder Michael Ballard and Tru-TV have announced that the series Full Throttle Saloon will return to the air on Nov. 30 at 10PM EST for season three. The drama that unfolds this year as the cast takes on staging Michael Ballard's Full Throttle Saloon for the 71st Sturgis Motorcycle Rally goes to a whole new level from what has been witnessed in the past.
In Sturgis, The Throttle is the "World's Largest Biker Bar," a 30-acre enormous indoor/outdoor bar with several large stages, a burn-out pit, a tattoo parlor, zip lines, a wrestling ring, restaurants, dozens of stores, hundreds of cabins for rent and parking for thousands of bikes. It opens for only two weeks annually around the rally, and the indelible color of the sights and sounds of Sturgis are documented and aired on the Tru-TV series.
After taking on the corporate competition last year and coming out ahead, best friends Michael Ballard and Jesse James Dupree of Jackyl fame, alongside Ballard's long-time girlfriend Angie Carlson, have upped the ante this year to deliver the ultimate Full Throttle experience. As Ballard faces the challenges of delivering a profit with an economic downturn, there is no shortage of drama as the season unfolds. The constant challenges of managing a personal relationship with both his girlfriend and best friend, while maintaining his focus on the business yields many tough moments to navigate through during this season.
Story lines for season three include Michael, Angie and Dupree's attempt to rededicate the Sturgis Rally back to the family who started the gathering, once again having the event known as the Pappy Hoel Motorcycle Rally, activities altruistically taken to celebrate the troops and in turn generate tens of thousands of dollars to support Wounded Warriors, and the ensuing chaos when Dupree (assisted by stunt legend Hal Needham) explores plans to jump from the legendary Bismarck Bridge Ballard meticulously had relocated to the grounds of the Full Throttle Saloon. The characters that come together once a year and become Michael Ballard's Full Throttle Saloon family are each indelible in their own rite. Together, they become a menagerie of personalities that deliver a viewing experience that is filled with moments of euphoria, despondency, love, hate, and together a program that is as engaging as any on television.
Season three also captures an amazing line-up of talent on-site this past August including Ted Nugent, Hinder, Jackyl, and others, alongside Angie's Flaunt Girls, a one-man band, assorted freak shows, and acrobatic pole dancers.
Ballard shares, "This season we are giving the phrase taking it to the next level a whole new meaning." Dupree echoes the sentiments in offering, "The Throttle is beyond Thunder Dome for people who love beautiful women, Hot Bikes and Rock & Roll." While Angie has the final word stating, "We are proud to be rededicating the Rally back to Pappy and Pearl it is Pappy's Rally."
For background Pappy and Pearl Hoel started the rally in Sturgis, SD which has now been running for 71 years. Michael Ballard, Angie Carlson and Jesse James Dupree have always maintained not only a relationship, but a partnership with the Hoel family. In managing the name, the likenesses, and the brand, the duo oversee and preserve the integrity of anything that the city or Sturgis Museum may wish to use in telling the story of the rally in relation to Pappy and Pearl.
Will you be tuning into the new season of Full Throttle Saloon?

"I sent off the order, only to realise that night that I had to change the date of the event due to scheduling problems! I called Tiny Prints early the next morning and was able to put a hold on the printing until I could confirm the date. I called 2 days later and they were able to send it off to a designer before it went to printing. The staff were very understanding and helpful. And I got the order 2 days later! And I live in Canada! Very happy with the quality of the invitations. I will definitely use Tiny Prints again and recommend it to my friends!"
"Was able to have a secondary name added to this by the designers and adjusted spacing for me. It was beautiful! Perfect for our baptism celebration."
"We absolutely loved our invitations for our daughters baptism! The invitations look exceptional the print and delivery were prompt, we were kept updated with the status throughout, would highly recommend!"
"I loved the pearl finish on the paper. The design is beautiful and classic. it conveyed the style of the event and our personal tastes."
"Quality of invite is great. Printing is flawless. Only issue is that one of my twin babies has a shorter name than the other so it looked a little funny."

Aquaman's sea world expands with introduction of the Others
Geoff Johns is doing for Aquaman and the water what he did for Green Lantern and the cosmos: crafting an ever-expanding mythology.
And so far in seven issues of Aquaman, the writer has given him a new status quo, a bunch of nasty undersea beasties with the Trench, reintroduced his best archenemy Black Manta and revealed the existence of Aquaman's team before the Justice League, the Others.
"The Others will be a lot more captivating and mysterious, and hopefully add a really nice depth to the book," Johns says.
So far, so good, too, for DC Comics' relaunched book. In January and February respectively, issues 5 and 6 of Aquaman sold better than any single comic from another company, even Marvel Comics, according to Diamond Comics Distributors. And Johns has worked with artists Ivan Reis and Joe Prado to create widescreen panels and immersive pages so the comic stands out in print form as well as on a tablet computer.
Fans are responding positively, Johns says. "The fact that we have people coming up and going, 'Hey, I'm an Aquaman fan now,' that's a pretty big deal."
Those folks will be learning a lot more about the mysterious Others in issue 8 (available Wednesday in comics shops and digitally) in both the present and the past via flashbacks.
The inspiration for much of what's going with the Others is Johns wanting to give Aquaman heroes and antiheroes that were part of his world but more land-based, but also for the series to be an unpredictable read.
"You don't know who these characters are, you've never seen them before, so everyone's on the same playing field, whether you've known Aquaman for years and you just started picking up the book this month," Johns says. "The Others are brand new, and I love introducing new characters to the worlds of the more established characters and giving them histories."
Kahina the Seer, a future-viewing Other, was murdered by the vicious and vindictive Black Manta last issue, yet readers will learn more about her, Johns says, plus more about the other Others — including Vostok-X, P.O.W., The Operative, and Ya'Wara, a woman who attacked Aquaman's main squeeze, Mera — and their connection with Dr. Stephen Shin.
The hero also known as Arthur Curry is now very much a member of the Justice League, but the Aquaman of six years prior was one of the Others. So the current arc is similar to the first arcs of Action Comics for Superman and Detective Comics for Batman in catching up what led to the superhero we now know.
There will be a clear difference between the Aquaman of yore and the one of now, Johns says. "You'll learn why there is a difference and what happened to him to make him that way in this arc. The Others are a reflection back at Aquaman, and that should become clear as the issues roll on."
"This arc is an very important piece of the puzzle to who Arthur Curry is."
There will be a definite multiculturalism to the Others, too. Kahina, for example, is from Iraq, and Ya'Wara is from Brazil. However, Johns wanted something more organic than a cliché international team of heroes from disparate cultures.
"It really symbolizes where Aquaman's been and where he's gone," he says, "from the deserts of the Middle East to the jungles of Brazil to the snow-covered mountains of Siberia and beyond. You can piece his journey and where he went together through these characters and where these characters were."
Deeply scarred underneath his helmet, the Black Manta in Aquaman also is a much more violent threat than the one who fans might remember from the old Challenge of the Super Friends cartoon. There'll be a lot more of him, and there are reasons he's now attacking the Others in the present.
"This story is as much about his history as it about Aquaman's," says Johns, adding that another major Aquaman bad guy, Ocean Master, will be making an appearance and he'll be introducing another new villain into the scene "that will hopefully be standing right alongside those two."
Blending the old with the new and making a huge world with Aquaman is important to Johns, just as creating several color-coordinated Lantern Corps were integral to his Green Lantern work.
"Every character we've introduced plays a role in the bigger piece of the epic story of Arthur," Johns says. "It's really a mythology all its own, and you'll see when we get to a certain point that from issue 1 on everything we've done is connected."

Best news! I've got a publication date for my novel! The novel isn't The Fairy Tale Asylum. It's a novel I wrote a long time ago–The Blue Jar. But I've got a lovely UK publisher and now a publication date. October 12th. That just after my chemo treatments should be over and just before my birthday.
And I did write something today.
Nurse Meredith was still outside when the Asylum flooded with light. She cursed. Her failure was found out. Either they knew the boy was missing or they'd discovered the intruder.
She wished she hadn't cut the rope now because she might be the one needing an escape. She ran to the back door. It was locked, so she decided the intruder must still be outside. Inside they had to be looking for the boy.
Once she unlocked the door and stepped inside, she was grabbed and thrown to the floor. "Stop!" came a rough voice. "She's a nurse."
She was pulled to her feet but light shined in her eyes. She couldn't see who she was facing, and she knew that was a good thing. "I'm Nurse Meredith."
"I know. What are you doing here? Why aren't you on your rounds?"
This wasn't a question she expected. "There were two young men visiting here earlier. I was just checking that they were taken care of properly."
"Did you see anything suspicious outside, nurse?"
Meredith weighed her options. The truth could get her into as much trouble as a lie. Did they know about the intruder? They couldn't. They had to be wondering about the boy. "No," she said. Once the visitors were seen to, all was as usual."
"You're lying," the voice said.
"Why would I?" she asked even though she knew arguing with him was useless. "What do you think I saw?"
"The question is why you have conspired against the place that has looked after you all these years."
Meredith groaned inwardly. The intruder. They didn't know about the boy. "I'd never conspire."
"The individual you assisted is somewhere in the Asylum. What is your plan? Do you think that you have any power here?"
"I have no powers above my station," she said in what she hoped was a meek voice.
"You will be questioned further."
Nurse Meredith found herself dragged down the hall to the officer. She dreaded what waited for her there.

Marketers are often dubious about the accuracy of advertising metrics when they put their trust in a major digital ad platform like Google, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, or Twitter. They want to be sure, of course, that they're being billed for the right clicks, ad impressions are correctly tallied, and calculation methods are verified by third parties.

Moderating with Moderation There are always going to be issues about having an open forum for distribution and discussion of content. There are varying community standards about what could be considered appropriate for discussion. This leaves the people who run the site to vet what goes on the site, and they take this responsibility seriously. "Just because you have a collaborative publishing model," Fulton says, "you don't abdicate your responsibilities as journalists. We edit everything before it is published, and we are very much involved in the process of producing the publication."
Grotke and LePage see their roles as light moderators, not unlike moderators of a discussion list. While they read everything, the only time they delete anything is when it is patently offensive or if it has no local link whatsoever, such as events going on in Boston. They do, however, allow discussions of national topics such as the presidential election results. "We like the pure expression of what people say, and we are aware that when people send a letter to the editor at local paper, they edit it or don't print it, and we just don't do that," Grotke says.
Fulton says the print version of her paper is offered for free, so they use a traditional advertising model, and display ads on the Web version of the publication, as well is in print. They try to attract businesses that cannot afford or prefer not to be in other media outlets. They also cross-sell with a sister publication, and they keep the staff lean, relying on only three full-time people and one part-time person to monitor and produce the publication. "We've never had an issue where we didn't generate revenue," she says. "We are very close to profitability, which is not too shabby after 10 months."
Grotke and LePage take a different approach for iBrattleboro.com, seeing the site more as a public service and a way to show off their Web development skills than as a money-making platform. They have a policy that they will only accept ads from local businesses, no chains, and they keep prices low to attract advertisers and keep it affordable for small businesses. "Our model is to build the site and content, and assume that once that is rolling that advertisers will come naturally," Grotke says. In fact, they recently hired an intern to sell ads, and they would be pleased if the site eventually generated steady revenue, but it is not their primary motivation for the site.
Is The Grass Greener? The vast majority of traditional journalists needn't worry that their jobs will be co-opted by citizen journalists any time soon. In fact, people involved in the citizen journalism movement believe this is something that augments traditional media and that it is a concept traditional media should be embracing. Gillmor thinks the professional journalist's role remains unchanged, but that it must now co-exist with the citizen journalist. "The question is what the role of the new kinds of journalist will be in the world that already exists. I think there will be an ecosystem where people are doing things at different levels and in different styles and with different kinds of business models (if any). The grassroots folks will be in symbiotic relationship with the pros, at least that's what I hope," Gillmor says.
Lasica agrees. "This a movement rising along side big media. It's not going to take the place of big media. It's going to complement and work with it." Grotke and LePage have found that the local media often picks up stories that appear on their site first. "The two are not mutually exclusive," says LePage. "We don't see ourselves as a replacement." In fact, LePage says, "If iBrattleboro were to go away, local news outlets would be disappointed. We provide a window on the community they don't have because we are an open forum."
Citizen journalism is part of a wave of new media that includes blogs and podcasts and folks with digital cameras posting their pictures on Web sites. Grotke points out the irony of the World Wide Web, which is supposed to bring the whole world to your computer, but is now contributing to bringing your local community back to the individual, and in the process, giving people the power to contribute to the discussion in ways never thought possible before in traditional media models. Whether this grows and develops from a grassroots movement to a mainstream staple, only time will tell, but with the growing disaffection with media giants, the current generation of tools, and the unabated desire of people to tell their own stories, the movement should continue to grow and thrive. "Participation is something every newspaper should be doing," according to Fulton. "Through participation with readers, you get better, more relevant, and more authentic content than what you would have otherwise."

It's ALWAYS Christmas as The Portmanteau loves to say and yes, it does seem to come around quicker each year. Instead of freaking out about how little we've achieved this year, let's just keep downing the mulled wine and embrace it. Highlights of the season for me thus far have been the release of Mariah Carey's second Christmas album. Her first, Merry Christmas, was definitely album of the year for me back in 1994. Part deux features an "extra-festive" remix of "All I Want For Christmas Is You" - basically the same song with some pointless jingle bells added at the start. Not much of a surprise there. As anyone who has seen her amazing Crib on MTV can attest, our dear Mimi loves to describe everything in her universe, from her "ensembles" to her Moroccan room, as "festive".
My recommendation for some genuine festive cheer this season is a visit to Columbia Road Wednesdays where over forty independent shops will be opening for late-night shopping on Wednesday evenings right up until the big day. There's mulled wine, carol singers and all the shops are decked out in lights. One visit is guaranteed to get you in the festive spirit. Mimi would be in heaven. NOK

Session titles include:
*This event was formerly titled The Seven Seasons of Man's Life.
Before they leave this event, each man will be given an opportunity to surrender or re-surrender his life to Christ, as well as join a six-week follow-up group. Follow-up materials are included with the event.
This event includes:
This is a six-hour event that is usually presented on Friday night and Saturday morning or all day Saturday. The event combines music (provided by the church), faculty presentations, and small group discussions that minister to the men and encourage them to join the six-week groups that meet after the event.
Optional Session for Wives: This event contains a session that discusses marriage. Some churches have invited wives to attend for this portion and "listen in" with their husbands on part of the session. Then the wives break into a separate session with just the women, taught by a woman at the church (notes and handouts provided). This is a basis for further discussion between husbands and wives and can also increase overall men's attendance.

"With Flash Player 10.1 available on Android and Google TV today, BlackBerry platform, webOS, future versions of Windows® Phone, LiMo, MeeGo,and Symbian OS are also expected to support Flash Player 10.1."
This information will surely put a beaming smile on the Windows Phone 7 well-wishers and the moment it comes in effect, the Flash support will provide a timely boost for the new mobile OS. This is naturally a good news for Limo, MeeGo and Symbian OS as well, but the truth is that these days most of the attention is focused on Microsoft's make-or-break new mobile OS.

Subaru WRX Forum (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/)
- Problem Diagnosis (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f72/)
- - Rear thumping noise!!! (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f72/rear-thumping-noise-24241/)
Rear thumping noise!!!
Alright so i bought my 04 STi back in early 07. Im fairly new to the WRX scene, but anyways back to my prob. Well when I drive my car under 20mph there is a loud thumping noise in the rear. I thought it couldve just been something loose in the trunk. I checked and everything was secure, took out the spare and no go!!!!:( The car doesnt vibrate or anything. Just that loud thumping noise. Once I go over 20 then it goes away.Has anyone else had this problem? I need HELP!! !Cry!
Be more specific. Constant thumping, when your turning, where exactly does it sound like its coming from in the rear?
Actually it doesnt matter wether im turning or going straight. I was wondering if maybe one of my struts might be loose or in need of being replaced. Like i said under 20 you can hear it inside the cabin but over that speed there is no sound.
I have the same noise On my 05 STI. I am thinking it is the stiffer bushing.
I've never had a loud thumping noise during normal 20mph or lower driving. Just words of wisdom....don't have the DCCD on "lock" when backing up or you hear tons of noise from trying to make a fully engaged rear diff go in reverse. Granted occasionally it might make a thud or two when pulling out and turning...but i think that is the rear diff semi locked and it unlocking when i turn. Normally I keep the DCCD on auto unless it's crappy out. Then I will normally put it on "lock".
Midget hiding under the car ?
Yea Im going to check out the DCCD and mess around with it for a while. Im thinking it very well could be my struts. Well Im going to keep checking but might end up taking it into Subaru since I got a warranty on it. (No midget in car)
i'm experiencing the exact same noise described (sounds like loose spare tire, dead body in trunk, midget hiding under car, etc.) at low speeds in my '02 WRX. anybody ever figure out what the problem is?
This is most likely a problem with your rear suspension. If you can get under the car check your rear struts and sway bar mounts.
I am also hearing this wretched sound. I looked under the car, on the sides of the car... Then I popped the trunk and as it turns out the guy that sold me the car threw in a complimentary trunk monkey. :rocks:
No but seriously I do have that sound (I've had the car for 2 weeks, asked the old owner about it and he said he didn't know, but it always pissed him off), I also pulled out the spare tire, everything in the trunk, shook my exhaust, and nothing... Next steps for me are to jack it up and take a peek underneath and at all the suspension components in the rear. I'll let you guys know if I find anything, do the same for me... !Thumbs Up
I was thinking it's an 04 STI malfunction, but have seen a few people in this thread and others complain about the same issue with the std WRX and other year STI's.
Well, just now I jacked the car up in the rear, no loose suspension parts and nothing that could possibly make that noise underneath. The guy that owned the car before me had that satallite radio installed and ran his antennae to the rear. I'm thinking when they wired it the didn't put something back together. It almost sounds like it's coming from in between the rear seat and trunk seperator. I'm taking off the rear seat, this noise is annoying. I will let you know if I find something in there causing it. :rolleyes:
Is it the rear diff hitting the bottom of the trunk? These cars are notorious for that.
That's only during a hard shift. Sounds like they are hearing the notorious strut clunk.
Oh ok. I havent experienced either yet. I just know that both of them are notorious in the subies for some reason.

Suppose this is the "notorious strut clunk"... What does one do to resolve this problem.
Also, I removed my rear seat and found the trunk seperator board (unsure of technical name) was loose and slightly rattling against the vertical seat supports so I zip tied it off, see pic below... Stopped one noise, still have another.

Fulham's season has been something of an unheralded success story.
Chris Coleman's side were among the early favourites to slip through the Premiership trap door next May but victories over Sheffield United, Newcastle, Charlton and Everton have seen the Cottagers climb to 12th in the table.
Liam Rosenior, son of ex-Fulham striker and recently-departed Brentford boss Leroy, has emerged as one of Fulham's key figures. The youngster, who signed from Bristol City for a bargain £55,000 in November 2003, has made the right back berth his own this term with a series of accomplished displays.
On Wednesday his opposite number will be Emmanuel Eboue, another youngster who has emerged as his manager's preferred right back - albeit in the absence of long-term injury victim Lauren.
The Ivorian recently missed six matches with a medial knee ligament injury, which gives his counterpart a 438-minute head start going into tonight's game at Craven Cottage. Nonetheless, what do this season's statistics tell us about these two players?
Well, Eboue has been the more efficient distributor of the ball, finding a team-mate with 68 per cent of his passes. The 59 per cent return by Rosenior is not one the 22-year-old will be ashamed of though.
The same goes for the Fulham man's endeavours down the wing. So far he has attempted 36 crosses this season, and although his team-mates have only capitalised on four of those, he edges Eboue, who has produced two successful crosses from 21 efforts.
Arsenal fans voted Eboue their Arsenal.com Player of the Month for September, a period in which he produced three expert assists. Two of those were in the Premiership, the other in the Champions League, but the 23-year-old has added another to his league tally along the way. Rosenior is behind at the moment having laid on just the one goal for Coleman's side.
On the subject of goals, neither player is prolific. Rosenior has scored just one career goal for Fulham - in the 5-4 League Cup win over Lincoln last term - and although Eboue is yet to contribute in the Premiership this season, he did score the vital second goal against Hamburg in the Champions League last week.
The stats suggest the Arsenal man is the more likely to find the net tonight as Rosenior is yet to record a shot on goal this season. Eboue on the other hand has managed three shots on target, three off, and has also hit the woodwork.
One area in which the Fulham man has excelled is dribbling, having produced an end product from 17 of 28 attempted runs. Eboue is renowned for getting forward but is more akin to running into space than taking players on. Nonetheless, a return of seven successful dribbles from 10 attempts is not to be sniffed at.
Rosenior also leads the way in terms of tackling. His all-action performances have produced 45 challenges, 31 of which he has won. Eboue has been equally efficient in taking the ball nine times from 13, and his lower return is almost certainly a result of the possession football played by Arsenal.
So there you have it. The statistics highlight the importance these two have had to their respective sides this season. We know Eboue enjoys getting forward at every opportunity and it seems Rosenior was made from the same mould.
With both players going into this game in full flow you really do pity the left backs.

The odd thing is that someone did a crude engraving of the **** eagle and swastika. Could this be a personal watch that a soldier decided to decorate on his own. Any help - please!

Swimming/Diving vs. UMBC
College Swimming and Diving
Men: Maryland Baltimore County 158, Rider University 133
Women: Maryland Baltimore County 162, Rider University 132
LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. – The Rider University men's and women's swimming and diving team opened up the 2013-14 season with a dual meet against the University of Maryland Baltimore County. The men's side lost the meet 158-133 while the women were defeated 162-132 at Coppola Pool in the MaurerCenter.
"We expect great racing from UMBC every year," head coach Steve Fletcher said. "They're perennial conference champions, wherever their home happens to be this year. They're a talented program, very well coached historically with great athletes. We're trying to set up the relationships where our athletes have the best competition each week. Our team held on pretty well, we had some athletes win their events and some close races, so I am really proud of how the team did."
For the Rider women, freshman diver Heather Lonkert (Moon Township, Pa./Moon Area) won two events for the Broncs, finishing first in the one meter dive (255.82) and the three meter dive (237.97).
"For their first meet of the year, they did very well," diving coach Eric Blevins said. "Trevor has been struggling a little bit but him and Wacko are very good together. UMBC is a tough team so it is good that they could power out a win today with that. Heather has had an unfortunate ear infection, so today is pretty much her first day back in the water and she did great."
"It was a lot of fun, it was nerve wracking because it was my first collegiate meet, but the team was really supportive and I knew that if I did what I had been practicing that I'd be good," Lonkert said about her first collegiate meet.
For the men, freshman Sam Cramer (Escondido, Calif./San Pasqual) won the 1,000 yard freestyle with a time of 9:37.97. Cramer also finished second in the 500 yard freestyle in a time of 4:41.71.
Junior Shane Tubb (Swedesboro/St. Augustine Prep) won the 200 yard butterfly with a time of 1:59.58 while freshman Ian Flynn (Dresher, Pa./Upper Dublin) winning the 100 yard freestyle in 48.94.
Sophomore Evan Paules (Emmaus, Pa./Emmaus) won the 200 yard IM with a time of 2:00.91.
"It was a test of our freshmen class today and their ability to assimilate into how we compete," Fletcher said about his team's performance in the pool. "I think the upperclassmen did a nice job today supporting that and we had good energy the whole today. We also had some impressive racing for our first time out."
On the boards, sophomore Wayco Bailey (Casper, Wyo./Natrona County) won the three meter dive (293.62) while senior Trevor Hiller (Galloway Twp./Absegami) won the one meter dive with a score of 292.80.
"We're really willing to go the extra mile, swim hard and dive better," Bailey said. "That's the good thing about going against tough competition. They push you harder because you want to make a statement."
Also for the Bronc women, freshman Ariana Palmer (Burlington/Burlington Township) finished first in the 50 yard free with a time of 25.04. Sophomore Taylor Shelley (Wilmington, Del./Padua Academy) also won the 200 yard IM with a time of 2:17.79.
Both the men's and women's 400 relay teams found success in the water against UMBC.
For the women, the team of junior Carlee Oswald (Henderson, Nev./Green Valley), junior Gess Charniga (Kendall Park/South Brunswick), freshman Jacquelynn Parker (Hillsborough) and Palmer finished with a time of 3:41.36.
On the men's side, the team of freshman William Molloy (Toms River/Toms River HS North), freshman Michael Regan (Flower Mound, Texas/Flower Mound), sophomore Adam Phillips (Springville, Pa./Elk Lake) and Cramer won with a time of 3:16.88.
The Broncs traveled to UMBC last year, losing the meet 171-114 for the men and 167-117 for the women.
"It is definitely a process and I am not sure we are prepared to predict which will occur because it is such a process," Fletcher said about the progress of the team. "So much of it goes on outside of our control as coaches. It depends how the team responds to its own goals outside and inside the pool. It is coming along and the dynamic of the upperclassmen and the freshmen is good because everyone wants the same thing."
"With these freshmen that we have, especially on the men's side, they're all uniquely fast and great swimmers and divers," Bailey said about how he thinks the men's and women's programs will do this year. "I feel very confident in our ability to go to the MAACs and win again."
Rider travels to East Orange to take on the Seton Hall Pirates October 17.

For our work to make the greatest possible contribution to the advancement of children's rights and gender equality, the programmes we deliver must be of the highest quality. They must be based on solid evidence, adhere to global policies and standards, and be subject to thorough measurement.
Delivering high quality programmes depends on staff and partners using robust processes to manage every aspect of our programme work. These include processes that determine how we work as well as what we do.
Four components of quality
Improving programme quality is a core element of our One Plan One Goal strategy, and a key step in achieving this is the development of our new Programme Quality Policy. It sets out our commitment to achieving high levels of programme quality in all our work, and describes our four components of quality:
1. Child-centred community development (CCCD)
CCCD is Plan's rights-based approach, in which children, families and communities are active and leading participants in their own development. It is applied in all our programme work. Click here to find out more about CCCD.
2. Achieving outcomes
All of our projects focus on achieving specific, measurable outcomes that lead directly to long-term social change that brings about improvements in the realisation of children's rights. Outcomes should be timely, particularly for disaster responses. Wherever appropriate, they should be aligned with: national government and donor agendas, international and national standards, and good practice and technical expertise that is relevant to the local context.
3. Value for money
At Plan International, we value the resources we receive from donors and supporters, and place high importance on spending these funds wisely. Achieving value for money in our delivery of high quality programmes means making the greatest possible contribution to the realisation of children's rights with the resources available.
4. Continual improvement
We are constantly striving to achieve even higher levels of quality in the work we do and the way in which we do it. We believe monitoring and evaluation is a critical component of high quality programme delivery, and use our learning to inform design and development of future programmes.
The Programme Quality Policy also sets out twelve requirements to achieve quality.
For example, each of our country offices develops a five year Country Strategic Plan. The plans are implemented through projects, and each project is managed through a structured cycle to ensure quality at every stage. Our projects are based on strong technical evidence, as well as ongoing dialogue with local stakeholders.
Our Programme Quality Department
At our International Headquarters, the Programme Quality Department supports the implementation and improvement of these management processes across Plan International. The department is made up of three teams:
- The Programme Quality Management Team, which is responsible for the processes staff use to manage programmes.
- The Global Advisors Team, which provides leadership in areas of technical content.
- The Plan Academy, which helps staff build the competencies needed to achieve quality.

Ghost and Vampire Tour Testimonials
We took this tour our first night in New Orleans, because I read great reviews on Yelp. I'm so glad I did, because Luke our tour guide did a great job! The tour starts out at Voodoo Lounge, hits up the LaLaurie Mansion, Andrew Jackson Hotel, Jean Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop, the apartment where the "vampire" Brothers resided before draining 20 victims of blood, and St Mary's where vampires are stowed away for safe keeping.
I was spooked!
Katie B from Houston TX on YELP June 2015
We were recently in the french quarter for 4 days, while there we had an amazing time. French Quarter Phantoms tour was one of fav of the trip.
Our 8pm tour of the city and the tour guide were absolutely great. was witty, informative, and very entertaining the places she took us and the scenery she captured of the past events was great, i could picture in my mind how it could have been, very great experience and would recommend anyone going on a trip there for the 1st time or even multiple times and have never taken it, should its totally worth it.

"I feel I can really rely on this company to provide our guests with charm, professionalism , knowledge & FUN! I highly recommend their tours."
~Russell Murphy, Head Concierge, The Royal Sonesta Hotel
Our guide, Thomas Webb, was very friendly, knowledgeable and funny! We enjoyed an excellent walk through the French Quarter and learned lots of great info! We enjoyed our tour so much that we booked a tour to go see the cemetery, something we hadn't planned on doing but we had such a good time we decided to go for it! And you can't beat the price! Best in the city!
Mama Reynolds, Columbus, Ohio
Speaking of ghosts, you can't say you visited New Orleans without taking a ghost walk or finding yourself in the middle of a cemetery. Obviously, the tour companies offering such excursions are numerous. I chose to tour with the French Quarter Phantoms, and I was NOT disappointed.

I really like the heated seats. I really don't care about the extra weight. If I did I would loose a few pounds myself. I have used them a few times in the morning instead of the heat. They heat up pretty quick and I know they will be nice in the winters here. I can start the car, turn on the heated seats, and brush off the snow. By the time I am done, at least the seats will be warm.
Another point is that the seats come with heated side views and a wiper element. I also enjoy the sunroof.

I am interested in the 2014 coupe and looking for info!! Any special editions? Info on the new paint colors??!? All I've seen is speculations....I want facts!!!
Kalfonse, there will be a 2014 CTS Coupe that is a continuation of the second generation CTS's--and in my opinion, the CTS Coupes are still the sharpest looking car available! Here is the link to the factory GM Online Ordering Guide--the link there to "New for 2014" should be helpful to you:
The new colors are Obsession Red (replacing Crystal Red Chromaflair) and Phantom Gray (replacing Thunder Gray--and I have not seen it but I hope it is "between" Thunder Gray and Radiant Silver in shade) and Majestic Plum Metallic (apparently a very dark purple metallic--requiring sunshine to see the purple in the color). There will also be a new interior color, with a few added features, called Twilight Blue Leather (or available on the Touring Coupes with the Recaro seats in Twilight Blue Leather and Alcantara Suede inserts). If you click on the "Color and Trim" under Ordering Info, the combinations available show up on a chart--but the actual link to Order options is not working yet. I would strongly recommend considering the "Touring Coupe" with the Recaro seats--those CTS Coupes are really gorgeous! Let us know what you choose!
Thanks for the info!! I've built some models with those seats but I feel like they are so masculine. What about them is so great that I should consider them. What interior color will be added? I LOVE the saffron interior on the V model but I don't think a V is necessary for me although I know that creates another argument in and of itself.
The Recaro seats are vastly more comfortable and feature the Alcantara suede inserts and overall, they look much better, too! After all, a CTS Coupe is all about looks! The Touring package includes the better seats, the performance suspension and the better looking (and larger) wheels! The new interior color is Twilight Blue (a dark blue leather and/or suede). Check out the previous link and click on "New for 2014" and you will find this information.
Is the blue only available on the blue exterior color package? I checked out link but it wouldn't let me click on anything. I'm going to open it on my laptop
Kalfonse, I cannot open some of the links either . . . but if you go to "Print Book" a pop-up appears and check-off "Color and Trim" and then a table appears with the available combinations. The Twilight Blue interiors are available with several exterior colors, and curiously not with the Opulent Blue exterior color--but there is also a special color called "Stealth Blue" previously announced, and I think its availability was for the late 2013 model year, although I have not seen one anywhere on-line in dealer inventory--perhaps it will also have a limited run for the 2014 model year? I would love to get a Stealth Blue CTS Coupe with the Touring Package and the Twilight Blue Interior, but will Cadillac ever build one like that?
I want to be able to start with a blank sheet of paper and build it exactly like I want!! I know that can't happen. I'm going to check out the link now.
Here's a link to some of the photos I've seen.
Angelbones, thanks for the link to the photo of a Stealth Blue CTS. Although I have neither seen it in-person, nor have I seen a paint swatch of the Stealth Blue color, all the pictures I've seen show CTS's with those black wheels, and those distort the perception of the color, in my opinion. Black wheels look fine on a black car, but the others are not my taste. I would like to see a CTS Coupe with the factory 19" wheels and the Stealth Blue color, preferably the Touring Package.
I also think the Majestic Plum Metallic color will look sharp when it is available. It all comes down to personal preference. If the Phantom Gray is a shade between Thunder Gray Chromaflair and Radiant Silver, I'll go with that color and a Light Titanium Interior on a CTS Coupe with the Touring package, to trump even a Stealth Blue one!
Keep in mind that the FE3 suspension that comes with the 19" wheels is supposed to be pretty firm. You may be OK with it, but I would recommend driving one first on roads you would be driving.Quote:

If someone could confirm or deny that for me that would be great.
According to the "link" I provided above, the Saffron and Ebony interior is only available on the V-Series models of CTS's. As for the chrome vs. wood trim, it depends on what equipment level you buy, although wood trim used to be a "separate" option, I'm not certain it can be ordered other than as part of a "package," unless your dealer is willing to change the interior trim for you.
That's all the info I have heard as well. I want to be able to choose items from several packages to build a custom car. It appears that will not be possible.
I saw XTS pricing came out for 2014..... Still nothing on the coupe!!!

I'm not a fan of them, but I'll be getting a package of bees on the 5th and a nuc of northern raised and wintered bees on the 10th. The package is being shipped from Ga to a local supplier. I was planning on getting the nuc this week but when I called earlier today to make an appointment to pick them up, they pushed it back to the 10th. I decided, since I'll be getting the packaged bees first, to buy a Canadian Buckfast queen when I pick up my nuc and requeen the package. The packaged bees will have 5 days to start building comb. I figured that'll be enough time to decide whether to buy the new queen or not. I'll make a mini nuc for the italian queen that's going to come with the package...just in case I need her. If things go well, she'll be on craigslist.
Steel Tiger,Do tell me where do you get a Canadian Buckfast queen in the next few days. The weather in Canada is way to cold to find mated queens here. Greetings from Alberta. Cor Van Pelt.
Steel tiger:The logic of only five days to build comb?
If they stay to start building, then the likelyhood of them leaving is pretty low. I don't want to buy a new queen if they're not building or seem to just be dying, as happened to several people.
The question I started this thread with still has not been answered though. How many packages actually make it?
Mulessi,i would have contacted the supplier. Most likerly if she wasn't laying by then they might have shipped a new queen.
As far as getting on a list to try and catch swarms I see no time for that with work, playing bass in a blues band, home life and had no idea you could get blacklisted for something in beekeeping. All about the bees right? I would rather get on a list to go remove bees from places they are unwanted but, there's probably a blacklisting for that too. Some elses territory? Sounds like a union thing. I wasnt impressed with the organization of the bee meeting/fest or whatever you wanna call it and it's doubtful I could get on a list for anything there. More turn offs for beekeeping the more things I hear when it comes to dealing with others doing it! I'm very close to bagging it.
I purchased a package from a local supplier who goes down to Georgia and brings packages up to my local area each year. I installed the package on 30 March on drawn out foundation with honey, pollen, and empty comb for the new queen to lay. I also provided them with one gallon 1:1 syrup and a pollen substitute patty. The queen was released by the third day and that was the last that I saw any evidence of her. No eggs or brood evident at the 2 1/2 week mark. I eventually put an frame of eggs in the hive from another of my hives so they can raise a queen and will probably need to add capped brood this week. When I installed the queen, if she had not been marked, she would have been difficult to distinguish from the attendant bees in the cage. I am assuming she was not mated. Additionally about 25 percent of the bees in the package were drones.After this episode, I will probably never purchase another package - at least not from the same supplier.
The Importance of FeedingA queen will not lay to her full potential if the colony lacks pollen and honey. Keepfeeding your new colony honey, or sugar syrup 1:1 and pollen substitute until theyoccupy two deep hive bodies. Even if plenty of natural pollen is available a new colonywill not have a sufficient foraging force until newly emerging workers are at least threeweeks old. It can take six weeks before the foraging bees can supply the food to meet theneeds of a young, laying, queen. Lack of food is the main reason new colonies do notbuild up quickly.
Nothing against a screened bottom but I prefer a solid. I like to make sure they are hot. They will vent themselves if needed.
The Importance of Feeding Expect to feed a 5 gallon bucket of syrup per package, and at leasttwo pollen substitute patties. BEE HAPPY Jim 134 :)
Father in law has put in 6 packages this year. He has lost one already to laying workers. He has replaced queens on 2 others. Lots of people have been having problems with the queens from earlier this year from packages, at least around here. Anyone else?

So Saturday was my birfday!!!!! I am now 1...mommy says that I am a big boy now. Personally I thought I already was a big boy, my buddy Vinnie says that us puggies and bostons own our mommys' and daddys'. So here is how my birfday went...I woke mommy and daddy up at 6:00 all excited and ready to go for the day. Mommy thought that she could put me in her and daddy's bed and we'd all go back to sleep...hehehe I had other ideas, it was time for everybody to get up. Daddy was going fishing wif pawpaw and told mommy that I could open my birfday presents early. I got lots and lots of tweats and more stuffies. At 1:00 my girlfriend Bootsie came over for my party and mommy gave us both ice cream. She said it was puppy ice cream...I took a few licks and gave mine to Bootsie, Mommy thought I was too tired, but really I didn't like it. Daddy then brought us cupcakes. I got a little piece and Bootsie got a little piece. She finished hers in one bite and Mommy says that I made a mess with mine. I left the crumbs for later, but mommy cleaned them up before I could get to them.
After all the eaten I finally got to open my birfday gifts. Mawmaw and pawpaw gave me another stuffie and a pumpkin t-shirt. Mommy says that it was to little, so I have to get another one. They also gave me more treats...you know how much us puggis likes treats. Then last but not least I gots to open my gifts from my girl and auntie Amber. I got MORE TREATS and a toy to play tug wif mommy and daddy and a bouncy thing that I have found I like to chew on instead of bounce.
After a long day of partying, I was really really sweepy. Mommy and Daddy kept laughing at me cause I was so sweepy I would close my puggie eyes while I was playing. Good thing for Mommy and Daddy I was sooo sweepy that I even let them sweep in on Sunday. I woke them up at 5:30 but let them go back to sweep while I snuggled in the big people's bed with them.......
My bestest pal Chilly tagged me for this Summer Tag Game. I am supposed to tell you five pawsome facts about me. So here it goes.....
1. I came to my mommy as a Christmas/Birthday gift from my daddy. My aunt Amber brought me to mommy in a baby basket. From then on I have been attched to mommy as soon as I see her.
2. I LOVE to give puppy kisses and play with anyone and everyone. Sometimes I cry cause I can't understand why the other animals don't want to play with me.
3. Just like my pal Chilly, I LOVE to be held like a baby- especially when I am sleepy. I could lay there for hours...but it has to be mommy holding me.
4. I don't know about my other pals, but I love to take baths or get into any kind of water. When mommy says it is bath time I get so excited and happy!!!!!
5. I probably shouldn't tell anyone this, but at night-night time I HAVE TO HAVE my stuffed puppy or ducky in bed with me.

A Lower Priced Option for Burberry Pale Barley Eyeshadow
Burberry Sheer Eyeshadow No. 22 Pale Barley
Jouer Powder Eyeshadow in Toffee
left: Jouer right: Burberry
Burberry Sheer Eyeshadow in Pale Barley is almost never in stock- I don't know if you can order it or not, and it's expensive at $29. It's a medium brown with golden shimmer. The shadow is super finely milled and so smooth it's almost creamy. It has become an everyday staple because it brings my eyes to life. I ordered some things from Jouer cosmetics and when I used the Powder Eyeshadow in Toffee ($20) I thought it was very similar to Pale Barley. It's not a perfect dupe, but it's close. Toffee's base is a bit deeper than Pale Barley's, so the color is buildable. Either way I like them both very much. If you sign up for Jouer's newsletter you get 50% off your first order, which is a pretty awesome deal. I took advantage of it and have lots more reviews to come. My promo code didn't work, so I emailed them and they gave me a new one.
Bottom line: If you can't wait to get your hands on Pale Barley, try Jouer's Toffee for $19 less.

Dear all,
As I presented to you few days ago the Nao Developer Program was ready to be released (see this post).
Today is the day!!!!!! This evening we are sending the first invitations.
You need an invitation from a developer member to be part of this adventure. The price of the Nao Developer Program is 3600€ which includes your own robot and everything you need to get started!
Where can you find your invitation ? Have a look at the main robotics forums and blogs, I'm sure that you can find invitations there.
Let me give you an overview of the description pages.
Who are we looking for?
- Participate in a privileged international community of pioneer developers!
- Each candidate must pass a programming test to ensure the highest level of skills.
- Only 200 of the best developers from around the world will be selected to participate.
- The "Happy Few" Developer Program members:
- have excellent programming skills
- are motivated by creativity
- are visionary
- are entrepreneurs
- enjoy challenges
- The NAO Developer Program relies on a collaborative effort:
- Together with Aldebaran Robotics you will develop your NAO's personality and behaviors.
- Exchange developments with the community!
- Share developments that are integrated into NAO through behavior channels by theme (examples include entertainment, gaming, humor,…you can even create your own channels by personality style).
- Sell your behavior applications to Aldebaran Robotics clients using the online NaoStore!
What do you get?
The Developer Program is a privileged place for exchange between Aldebaran Robotics Developers and you!
For a one-time entry fee of 3,600€ (including taxes), each participant receives:
Aldebaran Robotics
latest innovation and developments
Aldebaran Robotics will allow you to be part of a privileged team with access to the latest innovation and developments in the state of the art field of humanoid robotics.
You will have access to code, to the SDK and prototypes from Aldebaran Robotics thanks to the dedicated website Developer Program.
NAO, humanoid robot
NAO, a state of the art fully-programmable 58cm humanoid robot will be your platform to develop behaviors and apps, and bring the robot alive with the community.
Today there are more than 1000 NAO used by laboratories and universities worldwide for research and education in the field of robotics, computer sciences, cognitive sciences, mathematics, vision, sensors, motion…etc. NAO is also famous in the research community. The robot is not yet available to the general public, but together we are going to prepare this adventure.
A complete software suite
You will have immediate access to a complete suite of software for your NAO, which comes ready to be programmed – what NAO can do is up to your imagination and skills!
NAO contains an open framework called NaoQi. It can be programmed in different ways thanks to Choregraphe, our user-friendly behavior editor. You can program by creating sequences of pre-defined behavior boxes or code your own behavior boxes.
With Choregraphe, you can program with Python, URBi script, (.Net and Visual Studio or C# are compatible). But you can also program NAO with our SDK, using C++ and directly access the NaoQi Application Programming Interface (API). NaoQi APIs are well documented, introspective and enable the user to take advantage of:
- High Level Modules : Walk engine, whole body motion, Speech recognition, voice synthesis, face detection, face recognition, sound localization, and many more
- low level access to NAO's sensors and actuators
With the SDK, it is easy to get the image or sound stream from the robot. This can be done locally or remotely.
We also provide a program called Telepathe designed to collect the data from the sensors, and NAOsim, a 3D simulator to quickly test and debug NAO's behavior and applications.
Be part of a strong and active community
The Developer Program website will give you access to an international community of 200 top selected developers. A forum will enable you to interact with Aldebaran-Robotics specialists and Developer Program community members including:
- Code versioning tools, wiki and bug tracker for each project
- Collaborative workspace

It's safe to say that the buzz around Turning Point has not been all good. First the release was pushed back from November last year to the end of February. Then, having released an Xbox Live demo that elicited some fairly hostile responses, the UK release was put back another few weeks to mid-March while Spark promised faithfully that the issues found in the demo would be dealt with by launch. Now the game is on the shelves, you can only wish it had either been delayed for longer, or just quietly put to sleep and swept under the carpet. This is one of the worst FPS games in recent memory.
It must have looked very different on the storyboards and design docs, or when the original concept art was trotted out. The premise of Turning Point has a lot of potential. In an alternative WWII, Britain has fallen to the Nazis and only America holds any threat to Hitler's armies (kept up his sleeves, in case you didn't know). Cunningly, the Fuhrer and his goose-stepping chums unleash a surprise attack on the eastern states, quickly grabbing New York and Washington and placing a puppet president in the White House. As a member of the resistance, it's up to you to thwart the Nazi plans and save the free world from tyranny.
Every now and then you catch a glimpse of how good this game might have been, as Zeppelins and Messerschmitts attack skyscrapers, SS Officers shoot civilians in a New York brownstone or the Chrysler Building lies in ruins across a Manhattan street. This could have been Bioshock meets Call of Duty 2; a game with the period detail and atmosphere of last year's masterpiece, but with the heightened action and overblown spectacle of Infinity Ward's WWII classic. Instead we have an absolute duffer. Turning Point makes Resistance: Fall of Man seem like Half-Life 2 or Halo 3.
It doesn't help that the visual experience is incredibly patchy. Somehow, Spark has managed to create a game using the Unreal 3 engine that features graphics so bland and lacking in polish that you can hardly credit it. Though some of the character models are decent and some of the surface textures bumpy or shiny as you'd expect from a modern FPS, I can't quite put my finger on what Turning Point's dull scenery, fuzzy textures and not exactly photorealistic cast remind me of. Is it Medal of Honor: Frontlines on the humble PS2? Time Splitters 2 on the same machine? Maybe Return to Castle Wolfenstein on the PC back in 2001? Either way, it hardly says good things about the game.

my favorite quote i put next to pieces in my black book that suck is "success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm" i forget who said it but its a great quote.

me and my friend once did 5 bombs each in a row on this looong wall and above it i wrote "according to bush, we liberated the fuck out of this wall"
^^thats my favorite
when i was really little and just starting to write i wrote "if art is a crime may god forgive me" just cause i saw it in beat street, its funny though cause its all sloppy and shit
if its just me, i write
"wonder how i got up here..."
Now Benny was a New York City graff kingpin.

Maggie was a cop
Like a dope he stole green
She patroled the block
Banking off his old scheme
She recognized his plot
He thought he was home free
She knew that he was locked
Now it's off to the jail in a blue squad car
She pocketed the crack before they got far
Billy watches Maggy from behind steel bars
Like "Where the crack went?""I'ma smoke it tomorrah"
Now, J.J. punch drunk, acts like a dumb fuck

i normaly put punks not dead, mabe "bush not my prez", but for the most part i dont sign shit next to my art, my sig. pretymuch has a peace sign in it so i dont need to add any more.
i saw in flint michigan on all the abandon homes people where righting "Flint is clean bitch" if u dont know flint is a gehto built around a car factory.
... "bush is not my prez" how orginal.... how many of you kids can actualyl tell me why hes nto your president, hes not effecting you, the whole skull and bones shit theres nothing u can do about it its not like u actually listen to the president anyways so why out thats please tell me why you dont like him and dont use some fuckin lines from farenhyte (sp) 911
One time I drew a bunch of crack rocks and put a lil JC on em and put "Jesus Rocks!" next to it. And to reply to Gesus, I dont like bush because I just disagree with alot of his shit, Im pro-choice, I support stem cell research, and all in all I just think that even though hes probably a cool guy he just isnt a good president. I dont think he responds well to problems thrown at him, and I think that instead of choosing people who are qualified for their jobs he just chose people who contributed the most to his campaign for his cabinet. I mean the poorest person on his board is Condaleeza Rice and she still has an Oil Tanker named after her.
