MLB ROUNDUP: Braves stage another comeback
Justin Upton homered, doubled twice and scored three runs to help Atlanta earn its 27th comeback victory with a 6-4 win over Miami on Tuesday night.
The Braves, who lead the NL in come-from-behind wins, overcame deficits of 3-1 and 4-3.
Upton doubled home a run in the third, doubled and scored to make it 4-all in the fifth, then hit his 16th home run — but first since June 12 — leading off the seventh against reliever Ryan Webb.
Julio Teheran (7-4) allowed one earned run in 7 1-3 innings. All-Star closer Craig Kimbrel pitched a perfect ninth for his 24th save in 27 chances, and Atlanta improved to 12-2 at Marlins Park since it opened in 2012.
Henderson Alvarez (0-1) allowed five runs, four earned, in six innings for Miami.
DODGERS 6, DIAMONDBACKS 1: Ricky Nolasco gave up four hits over seven innings in his Dodgers debut and surging Los Angeles beat Arizona for its 14th victory in 17 games.
Nolasco (6-8), acquired Saturday in a trade with Miami, also doubled and singled, driving in a run and scoring another.
Adrian Gonzalez drove in three runs for Los Angeles, but Hanley Ramirez went 0-for-4, snapping his 19-game hitting streak.
Ian Kennedy (3-5), facing the Dodgers for the first time since serving a 10-game suspension for his role in a bench-clearing brawl a month ago in Los Angeles, allowed six runs and nine hits in 5 2-3 innings. He hit Ramirez with a pitch in the first inning.
The Dodgers pulled within 2 1/2 games of the NL West-leading Diamondbacks.
PHILLIES 4, NATIONALS 2: Cole Hamels threw eight sharp innings, Michael Young hit a two-run double, and Philadelphia beat Washington for its third straight win.
Hamels (4-11) allowed one run and six hits to win consecutive starts for the first time this season. The Phillies have won six of their past eight games.
Jayson Werth hit a solo homer for Washington. The defending NL East champs have lost two straight and are only 1ᄑ games ahead of third-place Philadelphia.
Making his third career start, Taylor Jordan (0-2) gave up four runs and eight hits in 5 2-3 innings for the Nats.
BREWERS 2, REDS 0: Wily Peralta tossed a three-hitter for his first career shutout, and Logan Schafer hit his first homer, a two-run shot that lifted Milwaukee to a victory over Cincinnati.
Peralta (6-9), whose start was pushed back from Sunday to give his aching left hamstring extra rest, struck out six and walked four for his first complete game. It also was the Brewers' first shutout and complete game of the season.
Tony Cingrani (3-1) was almost as effective as Peralta, allowing only two singles and Schafer's home run, striking out 10 and walking two in seven innings.
METS 10, GIANTS 6: Marlon Byrd's two-out grand slam capped a five-run eighth inning , and New York beat San Francisco for its third consecutive win.
A day after needing 16 innings to top the Giants in a game that ended at 12:42 a.m., the Mets squandered leads of 3-2 and 5-3 but held off the slumping World Series champions by scoring five times against their bullpen.
Omar Quintanilla had three hits for the Mets, and Byrd and David Wright added two apiece. Wright drew a two-out walk before Byrd's home run off San Francisco reliever Jake Dunning.
The Giants fell a season-high nine games under .500. San Francisco also has the worst record in the majors (17-34) since May 13.
Scott Rice (4-5) retired one batter for the win.
PADRES 2, ROCKIES 1: Eric Stults pitched a four-hitter, Alexi Amarista drove in two runs, and San Diego snapped a 10-game losing streak with a win over Colorodo.
Stults (7-7) struck out five and walked three in the complete game, supporting his cause with two hits. He took a no-hitter into the fifth inning, when Josh Rutledge legged out an infield hit on a grounder to shortstop. He lost his shutout in the ninth when he gave up a one-out double to Wilin Rosario and a two-out RBI single to pinch-hitter Nolan Arenado.
Jhoulys Chacin (8-4) allowed one run on five hits over six innings.
RANGERS 8, ORIOLES 4: Adrian Beltre went 4-for-4 with two homers and a season-high five RBIs to help surging Texas beat Baltimore.
Beltre hit a solo shot in the second inning and a three-run drive in the fifth, both off Zach Britton (2-3). Beltre has six home runs in his last six games and is batting .488 (21-for-43) during an 11-game hitting streak.
Texas has won 14 of 19 to move a season-high 16 games over .500 (53-37).
Manny Machado homered for the Orioles, who have lost six of eight.
Martin Perez (3-1) allowed four runs and six hits in six-plus innings for the Rangers. The left-hander is 3-0 with a 1.44 ERA in four starts since being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on June 22.
WHITE SOX 11, TIGERS 4: Alex Rios tied an AL record with six hits in a nine-inning game, and Adam Dunn hit a go-ahead, two-run homer off Justin Verlander in the eighth to lift Chicago over Detroit.
Dayan Vicideo's second homer of the game helped the White Sox score seven runs in the eighth, and they added three more in the ninth to surpass a season high for scoring.
Miguel Cabrera hit his 29th homer to give him a major league-high 92 RBIs and a .363 batting average. He broke the franchise mark for homers before the All-Star game, surpassing the total Cecil Fielder had at the break in 1990 during his 51-homer season
Verlander (9-6) gave up a season-high 12 hits, five runs and struck out three to match a season low in seven-plus innings.
Jose Quintana (4-2) gave up three runs and six hits over eight innings, winning for the first time since May 21.
RED SOX 11, MARINERS 8: Jackie Bradley Jr. hit a tiebreaking homer, Shane Victorino slugged the last of Boston's five long balls. and the Red Sox snapped a three-game skid with a win over Seattle.
Boston rallied from an early 5-1 deficit, using two-run homers from Dustin Pedroia and Mike Napoli along with Bradley's solo shot to come back.
Seattle was just as potent early, with Kendrys Morales going deep twice, but couldn't solve the Red Sox bullpen. Alfredo Aceves, Craig Breslow and Andrew Bailey kept the Mariners scoreless for 4 2-3 innings after starter Allen Webster was tagged for seven earned runs in 2 1-3 innings.
David Ortiz had four hits, including a solo homer, to give him 1,688 hits as a designated hitter, tying Harold Baines for the career record. Ortiz also doubled twice.
ROYALS 3, YANKEES 1: James Shields wiggled out of early trouble and got home run help from Billy Butler and David Lough as Kansas City sent New York to its third straight loss.
Center fielder Lorenzo Cain contributed four nifty catches, defensive replacement Elliot Johnson ranged a long way for a grounder, and Kansas City backed Shields (4-6) with two double plays.
CC Sabathia (9-7) gave up seven hits in his second complete game.
Greg Holland worked the ninth for his 22nd save.
INDIANS 3, BLUE JAYS 0: Ubaldo Jimenez and three relievers combined on an eight-hit shutout as Cleveland defeated Toronto.
Jimenez (7-4) dodged constant trouble in six innings, allowing five hits with two walks and four strikeouts.
Cody Allen, Joe Smith and Chris Perez blanked the Blue Jays the rest of the way. Perez allowed two hits in the ninth but earned his 10th save as the Indians completed their AL-leading 11th shutout.
RAYS 4, TWINS 1: Chris Archer pitched six strong innings, and Matt Joyce and Kelly Johnson drove in two runs apiece to help surging Tampa Bay extend its winning streak to a season-best six games with a victory over sputtering Minnesota.
Archer (3-3) limited the Twins to an unearned run and three hits to outpitch fellow rookie Kyle Gibson (1-2), who was done in by one bad inning in his third career start for Minnesota.
The Twins have lost nine of 10, and the Rays matched their longest winning streak of the year.
CARDINALS 9, ASTROS 5: Adam Wainwright earned his 12th win to tie for the NL lead, pitching seven scoreless innings, and Matt Holliday hit his team-high 13th homer to lead St. Louis over Houston.
Matt Carpenter had three hits and drove in three runs for St. Louis, which has won four in a row and five of six.
Houston dropped its ninth in the last 11 and leads the majors with 58 losses.
Wainwright (12-5) improved to 13-1 in 15 career starts against Houston.
CUBS 7, ANGELS 2: Alfonso Soriano hit two of the Cubs' season high five home runs, and Travis Wood earned his first win in nearly six weeks in Chicago's victory over Los Angeles.
Anthony Rizzo, Starlin Castro and Darwin Barney also homered for Chicago.
Wood (6-6) gave up four hits over 6 2-3 innings and retired 14 straight from the second inning into the sixth for his first win since May 30.
Four of the home runs came off Joe Blanton (2-11), who leads the majors in losses.

I find the story of Lazarus amazing. The one detail I like most about the story is that Lazarus was raised from the dead in chapter 11. Then in 12: 10 it says that the Pharisees were trying to figure out a way to kill him. He was too great a testimony to Jesus.
I mean, come on! Lazarus died once already, and there are people who want to kill him all over again. Once wasn't enough?
Which reminds me of life. Just when you get back up there's always something to put you back into the ground again. This helps me be a realist. There is a lot in life that can seem to be against us.
So, being me, I crawl into Lazarus' head and wonder what he imagined. I picture him sitting in an easy chair hooked up to a heart monitor. It's now his favorite station. He called it the Life Channel.
I'm determined to live. Aren't you?

Well Water Pressure Tank for Air?
I have a spare 32 gallon bladder-type well water pressure tank. I read in an online how-to that the author was planning on using one that he swapped out for air.
My tank has a max pressure of 100PSI. My thought is that to use this tank for air storage I would release any air from the bladder/air side of the tank and hook up the 1" water side with a variety of fittings (reducing it to typical neumatic size) and then hook it up in series with the compressor tank. Of course I would limit the pressure.
Any thoughts / ideas / experiences? Is this a good / bad idea?
i'd be concerned about accidental overpressure. the compressor won't know the limits of the tank.....
personally, i'd just go get a small tank made for storing air and be safe.
63 Attachment(s)
You just need to figure out if you can install fittings for the air hose.
The only thing is air has much more compressive energy than water so if it were to explode it could be spectacular. Keep it in a room that is unoccupied.
Thanks for the replies. I have a couple questions / concerns for anyone who may have input:
1) If air has more compressive energy than water, is there a way to calculate the maximum air pressure that can safely be stored within the tank; given that the tank has a max water pressure of 100psi?
2) I believe the tank on my Campbell Hausfeld is rated at 125psi max. If I dial the compressor down to shut off at a lower pressure, and use an air pressure relief valve (set at or below the max air pressure of the well water tank) as a safety, will the maximum pressure of the system be enough to operate pneumatic tools?
Your well pressure tank doesn't know (and doesn't care) whether the pressure comes from air or water. 100 PSI is 100 PSI. Your tools will still work at 90 PSI, however what ever I have my pressure set at it never seems to be enough with some tools (impact wrench). With the thinner metal of the well tank water in the tank (rust through) is more critical, be sure and plumb a drain valve in the bottom of the system. If you stuck a ball valve in the system so you could isolate the well tank from the system, on those few times you needed extra pressure you could close off the well tank from the system and ramp up your PSI. In the mean time keep an eye out for a dead compressor at a garage sale. $5 or less should get you one and rob the tank off of that. I've got 3 good tanks (bad compressors) laying in my boneyard that I'd give away. FD.
I plumbed in a old 100lb propane tank to my compressor with airchuck fittings and a ball valve. I use it sometimes as a portable tank where I may not have power. I have used my 1" impact on it and it works great.
Get most of the air out of the bladder side by putting the water side under pressure but close the bleed hole before the bladder itself tries to exude out. Still it is possible that the bladder can be damaged making the tank unsuitable for future water usage.
Is 100 psi the maximum rating or the working rating? Do not run the pressure at more than 3/4 of the tank maximum rating. Your compressor would have to use 75 psi as the upper or shutoff limit and perhaps 65 as the come on limit.
I agree with using a 100 pound propane bottle instead. Have been there and done that and works good. I looked at those big huge water bladder tanks too and even cut one apart to get the bladder out to use for something else,,,didnt work. Put those in the scrap iron pile where they belong. As bladder tanks they dont last from noon to dinner either!!

Event Details
Our in person tickets are sold out! Please sign up for the video-only portion and we'll email you a video of the class afterwards (Expect to receive this around 7-10 days after the class).
This is the inaugural Swift Language User Group Hackday (a/k/a #slugfest!) We're dedicated to Swift, a brand new programming language announced by Apple for iOS and Mac OS apps.
• 9:30 am: doors open + coffee
• 10:00 am - 12pm: Come to a free Swift class and learn the basics of the Swift language. We'll share our tips if you're coming from Ruby, JavaScript, Java, or Objective-C. Note: Though you don't need to come from an Objective-C background, you'll need some development experience to benefit from the class.
It'll be a hands-on class; together we'll go through several code exercises that will lead to writing your first Swift app.
We can't promise that you'll leave a Swift ninja, nor guru, but you will leave equipped with the tools and practical know-how to build brand new apps like never before.
Stay for the hackday (and potentially win prizes!) - Apply your new Swift skills to build projects and learn from your fellow classmates.
Your Instructor, JP
JP Simard's an iOS engineer working on Realm, a modern data framework & database for Swift + Objective-C. He presents on Objective-C and, more recently, Swift at conferences across North America.
When JP's not in iOS mode, he enjoys listening to jazz and zipping around San Francisco on his bike. Catch him on Twitter: @simjp.
• 12pm - 1pm: Lunch (provided)
• 1pm - 8pm: Hackathon with Prizes! Apply your new Swift skills to build projects and learn from your fellow classmates
• 8pm: we'll organize a show & tell to share what we've built but also what we've learned about Swift!
Prizes packages will be awarded (by audience vote) to the best app and the most learned.
Members of the winning teams will each receive books on our fave topic - Swift! including Functional Programming in Swift & Functional Reactive Programming on iOS. Plus, credits to Treehouse.
Getting there:
Galvanize is in the heart of Soma.
• Public Transportation: 7 minute walk to Montgomery St. BART Station. 20 minute walk to San Francisco Caltrain station.

World's Fair predictions
A half century later, some predictions proved to be on target...
• "Picturephone": Bell System introduced this innovation, which allowed people to see whom they were calling. It didn't go over well at the time, but it's a concept that's an everyday part of our lives now in apps such as Skype and Facetime.
• Ford Mustang: The two-seater sports car with its long hood and short rear deck was officially unveiled at the World's Fair and immediately became popular. It has remained in production ever since.
• Touch-tone phones: Originally introduced at the Seattle World's Fair in 1962, this was still the first time many visitors were exposed to this technology.
But not all ...
• Colonies on the moon, underwater and in Antarctica: The "Futurama 2" ride from General Motors, which featured images of people living in places where they clearly, uh, don't.
• Paved-over rainforests: Another image from "Futurama 2" featured a machine that used a laser to cut through the rainforests and left behind paved roads.
• Jet packs: There were demonstrations of jet pack power at the fair, with men wearing them and zooming around the grounds.
They remain a mode of transport found mainly in science fiction.

Chinese court upholds Ai Weiwei tax fine
By Sui-Lee Wee
BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese court on Friday upheld a $2.4 million fine for tax evasion against the country's most famous dissident, Ai Weiwei, after barring him from attending the hearing, in a case that critics accuse Beijing of using to muzzle the outspoken artist.
Ai had asked the Chaoyang District court to overturn the city tax office's rejection of his appeal against the tax evasion penalty imposed on the company he works for, Beijing Fake Cultural Development Ltd, which produces his art and designs.
The artist said that Chinese police barred him from showing up in person, saying earlier he had "absolutely no hope" the court would rule in his favor.
"Today's verdict shows that this country, more than 60 years after its founding still has no basic legal process, still has no respect for the truth, still will never give taxpayers and citizens an ability to justify themselves," Ai said.
"The entire judiciary is shrouded in darkness," he told reporters at his home in northeastern Beijing after the verdict, adding that he would now sue the Chaoyang court in a higher court, ensuring he will remain a thorn in the government's side.
The case adds to China's already tarnished image on human rights -- at least in the West -- coming on the heels of a score of other high-profile cases, including the fleeing to the U.S. Embassy of blind, self-taught legal activist Chen Guangcheng.
"It has cost them dearly, but I think it reflects where the Chinese authorities are at," said Corinna-Barbara Francis, China researcher at human rights watchdog Amnesty International.
"It reflects how precarious their position is," she added. "Obviously it comes from deep insecurity that they would have to go after someone like him." Continued...

"It was my grandfather, in 1860, who planted the first vines, and my father passed on the same passion that I, today, try to transmit to my own children. Our philosophy is simple: We leave nature to do most of the work, trying to capture in bottles the wealth, the vitality and the structure of the magnificent grapes that our vines produce, knowing that our role is merely that of guardian of these intrinsic qualities."

About Sicily(SIH-sih-lee) Nero d'Avola, this hot and hilly region is diverse. Sicily was at one time more quantity focused than quality, and while it's still producing a great deal of wine, the quality coming out is much better. With poor soil (great for grapes), warm sunshine, little rainfall and good mountain terrains, this little island is perfect for making the good stuff.
Notable FactsThere are still delicious sweet wines coming from Sicily, including Marsala, Moscato di Pantelleria & Malvasia delle Lipari. But the reds are the wines making people stand up and notice. Nero d'Avola is demonstrating its potential for making deep reds with the ability to age. Some winemakers are taking a chance with international varieties, like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. These grapes are sometimes blended with the Nero d'Avola or other native Italian varietals – adding a bit of international sophistication to regional charm.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Elwood couple arrested for growing marijuana in basement
A couple from Elwood face charges after police say they found a marijuana growing operation in their basement.
Stephen Stookey, 70, and Marilyn Stookey, 69, were arrested after police raided their home in the 11000 block of North 33rd Street Thursday night.
According to investigators, the couple had the tools to grow and process the marijuana right in their basement.
That's what drug task force agents said they found when they got inside their rural Elwood home. Hundreds of marijuana plants were discovered, some of them under high-powered grow lights, some of them already processed and bagged up.
It was an operation big enough, said investigators, that they had to bring in a state police eradication team to help them remove the plants and break down all the growing and processing equipment, all of it inside a modest blue home at the end of a rural street.
"After knowing about it, some of the things that were going on down there, seemed kind of odd," said neighbor Charles Gerhardt. "The dirt piled up around the house, I think that happened last fall. I'm not sure exactly when it was, but I thought it was kind of crazy. Now I know why."
Dirt, neighbors said, always stayed there, blocking any view through the home's basement windows.
Neighbors said the Stookeys used to own a greenhouse that went out of business a few years ago, but said they never expected the couple's new crop could be marijuana.
"I seen what I thought were their grandkids down there with them," said Gerhardt. "I didn't have a clue they were doing anything like that."
According to investigators, the couple is out of jail on $10,000 bail.
Suggested Links
Eyewitness News went to knock on the Stookeys' door to see if they would talk, but no one answered.
The Stookeys are facing charges of possession with intent to deal marijuana, possession of marijuana and maintaining a common nuisance.
The Hamilton County Drug Task Force and Madison County Drug Task Force investigated.

I started my blog almost 6 years ago (thanks to my good friends Ang and Holly) and it has and continues to go in many directions. It basically started out as a fun way to post what was going on in my life, things I was loving at the time, teaching, traveling, and of course a craft here and there. Then I got engaged and married and my blog became a "What are the newlyweds up to?" About 2 years later I became pregnant with my little boy and my blog served as a "baby book" if you will.
That brings us to today. My blog still consists of what is going on with my sweet family, but I'm also throwing in more crafts. Why? Because I'm a bit obssessed with Linky Parties. It was actually Trish and Bonnie over at Uncommon that got me started (they don't even know this). They were the first people to take a simple craft I made and feature it. That just made my day. Since then I've enjoyed participating when I can and looking at the thousands of creative bloggers out there!
Since participating in these Linky Parties I've had a chance to follow some awesome blogs and "meet" some cool ladies. One of whom is, Tisha, over at Craft Chickie. I was super excited when she left me a comment saying she had awarded me this award:
"Liebster" is German for "Dearest". The award is a "Share The Love arrangement", given to inspirational bloggers with less than 200 followers.
I am slowly working my way to more followers in hopes that I can eventually host my own Linky Party!
So go ahead...FOLLOW ME! It's ok!
As it is my duty, I am honoring the "Liebster Blog Award" to the Following:
1. School House Scraps
2. Create.Craft.Love
3. Hot Flash'n Craft'n
1. School House Scraps

Congrats on joining the DSLR world. Dunno if it's you or your wife shooting, but some comments:
- several shots are out of focus, not sure why, could be a lot of reasons.
- try to focus on the eyes of animals (and people)
- that's probably the reason for lag in shutter, it's probably hunting focus - a DSLR should have zero shutter lag.
- macro shots like the flower should be shot with high f number, so all of the flower is in focus - looks like you missed focus anyway, but keep that in mind. This is why a tripod is preferable for macro
- I recommend getting a fast prime, a 35mm f/1.8, if you shoot a lot of indoor family/pets, or 50mm f/1.4 or f/1.8 if you shoot more outdoors. This will solve any focus hunting issues in low light, and shots of kids and dogs will look much better with some subject isolation.
This kind of thing, a fast lens isolates the boring backgrounds:

The dollar was firmer mostly above ¥97 in Tokyo trading Wednesday, thanks to buybacks in line with a rise in stock prices.
At 5 p.m., the dollar stood at ¥97.32-33, up from ¥97.08-10 at the same time Tuesday. The euro was at $1.3527-3527, down from $1.3570-3571, and at ¥131.64-67, down from ¥131.75-82.
After moving around ¥96.80-90 in early trading, the dollar rose above ¥97 thanks to purchases from real demand-backed players and buybacks on the back of a rebound in Tokyo stocks.
The dollar gradually extended gains and climbed to near ¥97.50 at one point in the afternoon, supported by a further rise of Tokyo stocks.
"The dollar attracted buybacks after news that U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker said the government shutdown will end soon," an official at a foreign exchange broker said.
In addition, the U.S. currency apparently drew support from news that U.S. Federal Reserve Vice Chairwoman Janet Yellen is set to be nominated as successor to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, an official of a major Japanese bank said.
Many market players took the news about Yellen in stride. A bank official said it wasn't a surprise, but her likely nomination provided a sense of comfort to the market because she is expected to continue the Fed's current monetary policy.
The dollar remained range-bound below ¥97.50 for the rest of Tokyo trading hours due to lack of progress in talks to break the U.S. congressional gridlock over fiscal problems, market sources said.
With no signs of an early end to the U.S. fiscal stalemate, "the dollar was unable to top ¥97.50," the bank official said.

My very first Two and a Half Men fanfiction, hope you enjoy it even though it's just a one-shot.
Alan's Uncertainty
Alan and Charlie were standing on Charlie Harper's porch, when they looked up to see Alan's sixteen year old son Jake and his friend Eldridge fly of the roof in a shopping cart. Alan Harper's face turned white as his only son plummeted to the beach below. If it weren't for the fact that his son was severely hurt, he would have been fuming.
"Oh, god, are you alright!" Alan called to Jake, but there was no answer, "Jake!"
"Jake, buddy, answer your father!" Charlie shouted worriedly. After seconds of looking at each other, Alan and Charlie ran down the stairs to check if the two boys were still conscious. As they reached Jake and Eldridge, Alan thought his throat was closing up on him.
"Jake!" he cried out in horror, "don't worry Jake, you'll be okay." as Charlie dialled the hospital on his cell phone, Alan checked for any sign that could be fatal to his son and his friend, thankfully, there were none.
"They're not dying, thank god." Alan breathed. Moments later an ambulance drove up the house and Charlie and Alan carried Eldridge and Jake to the back. Alan looked at his sixteen year old son's blooded face and tears rolled down his face.
"Where did I go wrong?" he asked himself out loud.
"You did not go wrong." Charlie replied, "You may've screwed up on yourself but Jake still has his whole life ahead of him."
"And you always said he was a farting, eating, dumb failure." Alan sighed.
"He may not get to a big, artsy fartsy collage, but he can still get into a trade school." Charlie told him.
"Forget it Charlie." Alan sank his head, "I suck as a father, my life is a big fat joke!"
"Okay, first of all, why are you beating yourself up about an accident. Just be grateful he is still in one piece." Charlie replied.
"That's not funny." Alan looked at him very frightened, his life was a mess. He couldn't hold a relationship down to save his life, and divorced parents always had a tough time at some point in the lives of their children. However, Alan felt he could have done better, he could have helped Jake study, guided him through the difficult trials and paths of growing up and realizing the world around him, but of course he didn't want to be too safe, or else Jake would have turned out to be just like his father. On the other hand, Charlie's antics haven't exactly made it easier on Alan or Jake either when he was growing up. And Judith wasn't exactly any help to them as well, it was her fault Jake was in this mess. She kicked Alan out, forcing him to live as a third party guest at his brother's house, exposing Jake to adult situations at a young age, and just as worse, Jake was able to soak it up like a sponge, if only he'd do that with school…
"Alan… Alan!" Charlie's voice snapped the heart-broken forty-one year old man out of his thoughts.
"Whoa!" Alan jumped back and fell on his butt, noticing he was still in the back of the ambulance. Charlie tried to hold back his laugher, knowing his brother was still in a hurt state.
"Sorry." Charlie helped Alan up from his place on the floor of the ambulance, "listen, it'll still take years, but Jake is still learning, and you just need to give him some time. We can guide him as much as we can, but ultimately… he needs to make his own decisions. Even if he does make the wrong ones, you did the best you possibly could, and that's all you could ever do. I… want to tell you something Alan… I don't want to have children because I don't want them to turn out to be just like me."
"What about the Charlie Harper gene pool?" Alan asked Charlie.
"I've been through so much since I met Jake, I've grown fond of him, I tolerate you because of these moments… the moments where we talk about Jake and how he has grown up." Charlie told Alan, "The Charlie Harper gene pool is still going to live on…, but as I learn about relationships and commitment… as scared of it as I still am, Jake has enough of my knowledge to know how things work, but no too much that he'll turn out to be just like me."
"Are you sure he doesn't know too much… I mean, what if he accidentally gets a girl pregnant!" Alan panicked.
"Remember, Alan, I always know to where a condom, Jake know that too. He won't turn out to be like me, your his father, you have more influence over him than I ever have. I will do anything to help you lead Jake on a good path, it make not be a right path like you wanted, but I will make sure he doesn't go too far down the wrong one." Charlie told Alan.
"Really… you would really help your sad excuse for a brother maintain his son's unstable path?" Alan asked, looking at his brother with tears in his eyes.
"Yeah, come here you big sap." Charlie and Alan shared a brotherly hug at that moment. Alan wasn't sure where Jake would end up in the end, but the two would make sure that the growing boy would at least lead a slightly less than average life

Saving faith may thus be defined as a voluntary turning from all hope and grounds based on self merit, and assuming an attitude of expectancy toward God, trusting Him to do a perfect saving work based only on the merit of Christ.

What are Wetlands at Risk?Wetlands-at-risk are those that are vulnerable to impacts from development or other land use activities and that have little protection from these impacts through federal, state or local measures. Many states, tribes, and local governments rely solely on the Clean Water Act to protect their wetland resources. Recent court rulings (see SWANNC and Rapanos) have highlighted potential gaps in this protection, prompting state and local governments to inventory their wetlands that may no longer be considered 'jurisdictional' and try to fill in these gaps. Yet, the reality is that even streams and wetlands that are regulated under the Clean Water Act may be at risk of being filled or otherwise impacted for two key reasons:
- The Clean Water Act Section 404 is a permitting program under which permits for disposal of dredge or fill material into wetlands are issued all the time. Just because a wetland is regulated under this program does not mean it can never be filled.
- The Section 404 program does not regulate all types of activities, such as discharges of stormwater runoff into wetlands, and removal of wetland vegetation.
Given this, in many rapidly developing areas of the country, almost all wetlands can be considered at-risk unless some kind of permanent protective measure (e.g., a conservation easement, protective zoning) is in place to prevent their destruction.

This flavorful appetizer is a great addition to any buffet. You can trim last-minute prep time by making the sauce, cooking the asparagus, and refrigerating them in a serving dish the day before you're planning to serve.
- 1/2 cup light mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt or light sour cream
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon grated orange rind
- 2 teaspoons fresh orange juice
- 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 2 pounds fresh asparagus
- Garnish: chopped fresh chives
How to Make It
Stir together first 8 ingredients. Cover citrus sauce, and chill 1 hour.
Snap off and discard tough ends of asparagus; remove scales with a vegetable peeler, if desired.
Fill an asparagus steamer with 2 inches water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Place asparagus, cut ends down, in steamer basket; place basket in steamer, cover, and steam 6 to 7 minutes or just until asparagus spears are tender.
Plunge asparagus into ice water to stop the cooking process; drain.
Arrange asparagus spears on serving platter. Garnish citrus sauce, if desired, and serve with asparagus.

Just wondering, does anybody on here own the master replicas boba fett????
Forgive me, but isnt that a rip off??? $600 for a replica helmet that I am seeing sell for $100?
Anybody own the MR version???
Just wondering, does anybody on here own the master replicas boba fett????
Forgive me, but isnt that a rip off??? $600 for a replica helmet that I am seeing sell for $100?
Anybody own the MR version???
The MR Boba Fett helmet isn't scheduled to ship till November.
The list price, for a completely finished, wearable, lined fiberglass helmet with working rangefinder electronics, is quite reasonable.
Let alone the fact that the shape was scanned from an actual production-used helmet in the Lucasfilm Archives, and that this product is licensed by LFL as well.
The window for delivery is very, very, very, very, close to the lapse in the MR license with Star Wars. The price is huge for a helmet that needs further weathering too. They have done this before... I remember the clone helmets being delayed 3 times (maybe more) by MR. Vendors were pre-selling them in April of 2005, but they did not get released until a little over a year ago. Ouch.
The helmet is very impressive in person.
BTW, the LE is $450 not $600 and you're probably not going to find an accurate helmet painted like that with working lights, etc all finished for $450. If you think you'll find anything like that for $100 you're kidding yourself.
Um, yes, I make the helmets and armor very close to what was in the movies. Just as good as anything else floating around. All in all, they run just under $200 for replica helmets. I also get sick of the same helmet over and over, Joel Johnstons 1977-1978 design has room for massive improvement, so I also make costume helmets, close to fetts, but a lil better imho.
pm me if you want one. Unpainted, they run $50. So yeah, I kinda found em already, I make em.
But even $450 is a lot to pay, but not if your that die hard collector who needs it for the ultamite collection, but if you want one to wear, bad purchase. imho
Oh yeah, does anybody know why lucasfilm pulled the MR deal??
Loveless, do you have pics of one of your helmets? PM them if you like. What material do you make them out of?
I'm sorry but I have to defend of the MRH...its really a thing of beauty, I have seen it..tried it on and have felt the heff of this helmet Its true, if you want to buy a fan made helmet or one of those crappy knock offs (recasters) you are going to get a better price than the MRH. And judging from MR's past fiber glass helmets MR has developed a decent track record and well worth the price IMO It's not until they are no longer produced that the value of these helmets will be missed. And let me add one more thing here, the paint job on the Fett helmet is better than many of the helmets that I have seen posted here on this forum and else where. There are artisians here that do a wonderful job but you are going to pay a price for their masterworks. Don't get me wrong, I am not bashing fan made stuff but its nice to get some "official" wears once in a while that make the grade too So if you want something less than movie accurate and cheaper (you always get what you pay for) by all means go for it...its your money!

Yes indeed, I would love a MR helmet. Especially if I could afford it, guys, please keep the MR in there packaging, in about 20 years, there gonna be worth more then your education.
But for me and most, $450 is too much for a costume piece.
And yes, I do sell the replica helmets, not just the custom versions.
Yes, I will definately post photos of the helmet within a week, or at least have everything up on http://mandalorian-manor.tripod.com/ by the second week of october.
But yes, unless your A die hard collector. Really, nobody will care if you spent $300+ more on a bucket helmet then one that looks exactly the same for a much cheaper price just because it has a lucasfilm stamp on it.
But yes, look for photos under the mandalorian manor thread mid oct.
I am waiting to thread the website till everything is up and running.
Also, I will have a video section on the website so everyone can see the props in use and how they are.
P.S. As for the materials, no, not fiberglass, but a durable styrene plastic. If you look at the website link, or my avatar, those are the custom style helmets that go for $100 down. And that's painted.

I actually don't care about a Lucasfilm stamp. If you can produce a durable helmet with an accurate Boba paint job and working electronics for $200 I'll be all over it.
How accurate is the MR helmet to the real one?
Pretty accurate. It was scanned off a real helmet and the template paint job was painted by one of the best Boba painters out there. It won't match an individually painted helmet by some people on this board, but for a mass produced item its really quite nice.
There's a good thread about it.
Loveless, I think you need to start providing proof of your claims. Your statements are quite far fetched.
I respect your quest to produce and sell a costum helmets at a affordable cost.
I have some questions for you...
How many helmets do you plan to build at once?What is the turn a round rate from the time the order is made and sent to me?
I assume this is a pay up front purchase?
How are purchases to be made?Is there a warranty with it or gaurntee of quality?
What carrier will be used in shipping the helmet?
Are these unpainted?or is there a price difference between painted and unpianted?
Is there a Jango model?
I am sorry to be forward but you might have a sell here and these are just some question I have.
A complete mandalorian helmet for $100,now I might be able to work that in the budget
Amen.... Pics!
so the MR, being digitally scanned from the original, is the closest we're likely to ever get to "accurate"
that's like taking a stormtrooper helmet and making it symmetrical. yeah, it would look better aesthetically, but it's no longer the same thing as what's seen on screen.
all that being said, i'd LOVE to see a well made $50 styrene helmet out there that can match up to the quality of the fiberglass ones we're used to! i can't wait to see the pics!
yeah I'd love to see some pics of your helmets also loveless. working at $7 an hour puts you on a budget ya know i saw your "project z" page on your website and DANG! I would've LOVED to have some armor like that at his age. one lucky kid!
Bump as im anxious to see the results here
Is that person on the right crying?
Seems like Loveless bailed out on us.

LONDON, June 23 (Reuters) - European shares climbed to a three-week high on Tuesday, extending the previous session's rally on expectations that Greece was getting closer to a debt deal.
Greece's ATG share index rose 4.2 percent, adding to a 9 percent surge in the previous session, while the country's benchmark banking index was up 7.3 percent.
The Athens' ATG index remains down by around 5 percent since the start of 2015, due to Greece's ongoing debt problems, but it has recovered from a slump last week. Continuación...

Life Cycle of a Social Welfare Organization - Jeopardizing Exemption
A social welfare organization will jeopardize its exemption under Code section 501(c)(4) if it ceases to operate primarily to further social welfare purposes. In addition, a tax-exempt organization that does not file a required annual return or notice for three consecutive years automatically loses its tax-exempt status.
Activities that do not further social welfare purposes, and thus may jeopardize an organization's tax-exempt status if they become the organization's primary activities, include:
- Business activity (including providing commercial-type insurance)

Cuomo Announces Duke Energy Settlement
New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has announced a pollution-reduction settlement with the nation's third largest power producer.
It requires Duke Energy to shut down two units at a coal-fired power plant in Indiana -- or convert them to burning natural gas -- and cut sulphur dioxide emissions from two other units in half. The changes are expected to cost Duke more than $80 million.
Sulphur dioxide is linked to acid rain, and blamed for damaging lakes and wild areas in New York's Catskill and Adirondack regions.
The settlement also requires Duke to pay nearly 2 million dollars in civil penalties, about $400,000 dollars of which will go to a state clean-air and energy conservation fund.
Duke will also invest over 5 million dollars towards its own clean energy projects.
New York led a coalition that included New Jersey, Connecticut, the U.S. Justice Department, and two environmental groups in suing Duke in 2001. They charged the company with violating the Clean Air Act by improperly modifying a number of Midwestern power plants.

As I sit by my mom's bedside and she's no longer able to communicate with me, I am thinking of some of the things she has "said" over the years, in actions or words. So I felt like sharing one.
I was looking through some of her papers and came across this ShopRite grocery store gift card. I said to Larry, "don't forget you have a gift card here" but then I remembered, this gift card wasn't given to them.
My mom had bought several recently because she wanted to be able to give them to someone she would see shopping in ShopRite who looked like a mom with a large family, I guess a woman with a lot of groceries in her cart! So not necessarily a homeless person or someone down on their luck, just an ordinary mom with a lot of kids who $20 might bless on their shopping trip.
Once she offered to a woman who turned out to work for a group home and they had a good laugh about that.
I love my mom's generous, kind heart.

Theocratic Ministry School Review - Theocratic Collector.com
Theocratic Ministry School Review (Week Com 25 th June 2012) 1. Jeremiahs survival during hard economic times provides us with what assurance? (Jeremiah 37:21) Accordingly King Zed·e·ki′ah commanded, and they then put Jeremiah in custody in the Courtyard of the Guard; and there was a giving of a round loaf of bread to him daily from the street of the bakers, until all the bread was exhausted from the city. And Jeremiah continued dwelling in the Courtyard of the Guard. (w97 9/15 p.3 – p.4 par 1) Jehovah likewise sustained the faithful prophet Jeremiah during hard economic times. Jeremiah survived the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem, when people had to "eat bread by weight and in anxious care." (Ezekiel 4:16) Eventually, the famine in the city became so severe that some women ate the flesh of their own children. (Lamentations 2:20) Even though Jeremiah was in custody because of his fearless preaching, Jehovah saw to it that "a round loaf of bread" was given to him daily "until all the bread was exhausted from the city."— Jeremiah 37:21. So Jeremiah, like Elijah, had little to eat. The Scriptures do not tell us what or how often Jeremiah ate after Jerusalem ran out of bread. Yet, we know that Jehovah sustained him and that he survived that terrible time of famine. Today, poverty exists in every part of the world. According to the United Nations, the greatest concentration of poverty is found in Africa. Stated a UN press release in 1996: "Fully half of all Africans are impoverished." Despite increasingly harsh economic circumstances, an ever-growing number of Africans are applying Bible principles in life and are faithfully serving God, confident that he will sustain them. (w97 9/15 p.3 – p.4 par 1) 2. In what ways do Christians with an earthly hope imitate the fine example of Ebed-melech? (Jeremiah 38:8-13) So E′bed-mel′ech went out of the house of the king and spoke to the king, saying: 9 "O my lord the king, these men have done bad in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have thrown into the cistern, so that he will die where he is because of the famine. For there is no bread anymore in the city." 10 Then the king commanded E′bed-mel′ech the E·thi·o′pi·an, saying: "Take in your charge from this place thirty men, and you must get Jeremiah the prophet up out of the cistern before he dies." 11 Accordingly E′bed-mel′ech took the men in his charge and went into the house of the king to beneath the treasury and took from there worn-out rags and worn-out pieces of cloth and let them down to Jeremiah into the cistern by means of the ropes. 12 Then E′bed-mel′ech the E·thi·o′pi·an said to Jeremiah: "Put, please, the worn-out rags and the pieces of cloth under your armpits beneath the ropes." Jeremiah now did so. 13 Finally they drew out Jeremiah by means of the ropes and brought him up out of the cistern. And Jeremiah continued to dwell in the Courtyard of the Guard.

when you turn the key do you get a wraw wraw wraw, or just click and nothing?
This thing still has a regular distributor with a regular distributor cap..perhaps you forgot to put the rotor back in.
You replaced the ignition switch? With Honda factory switch? The 1990 Civic has a transponder key... anti!theft system that must be programmed This is an image of a blank. The cut key came with the switch. Sometimes you must prove ownership of the car before the dealer or locksmith will do it. All that means is bring registration and ID with you, and I am pretty sure a locksmith will be less expensive than the dealer.

text: Ok heres how I managed to get a 3rd party cable to work with vag com. Firstly, unless it is a branded cable supplied with a suitable driver VAG-COM will not 'see' it as a usb device regardless of the version you are using. To overcome this (providing you are using Windows XP) simply plug the USB connector into the laptop (the other end doesn't need to be plugged into the car at this point) and allow Windows to install the "standard USB-Serial driver".(these drivers can be found quite easily on the net). Go into the Control Panel, then to System, and click on the Hardware tab, next select Device Manager. Once the new window opens you will find a cable under the Ports section, (It will say USB serial) right click on it and select Properties. Once in there, simply change the COM port it was using to one between 1 and 4 (that isnt already in use) and save the settings. Reopen VAG-COM and in the Options tab select the COM port you selected for your cable to and hit the Test button - hey presto - it works! :lol: :lol: This seems to work 99% of the time, unless you have purchased a really bad quality cable, which i must say are few and far between now, however if it costs you less than £15 then beware its probably rubbish. I have done this with around 15 to 20 cables now and have never failed, however you do so at you own risk. Finally may I add this was used by myself when i was very very very short of funds and needed Vag com to sort a fault on my A4. If I had money available I would purchase the Ross Tech cable without question, the quality is undeniable. Hope this will help anyone who has fallen on hard time as I had. Please PM me if you need any further help. :lol:

Corrections Officer Arrested
Corrections officers keep tight control over inmates, but in Marion County one deputy now finds himself facing charges for smuggling marijuana into jail.
Now two separate departments have launched investigations.
Authorities say Joseph Jones, a corrections officer with the Marion County Sheriff's Department, had recently been promoted.
An official with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said he tried to deliver a chicken teriyaki sub with marijuana and incense inside and a cell phone to inmates.
Jones was arrested Wednesday night and charged with principle to introducing contraband into a detention facility, possession of marijuana not more than 20 grams, and introduction of contraband into a detention facility.
According to the FDLE, deputies had intercepted suspicious calls and had their eyes on Jones.
The Florida Dept. of Law Enforcement and Marion County Sheriff's investigators followed Jones to a Subway on State Road 40 in Ocala where they saw Jones pick up the sub from Ashley Kiser and Teresa Meyers, girlfriends of the two inmates involved, Travis Cottrell and Anthony Carter.
Once Jones arrived at the jail, the 5 year corporal was arrested.
In arrest affidavits, Jones says that in return for delivering the sub, inmate Travis Cottrell promised him a roast beef sandwich, a bottle of Patron tequila, and an introduction to a female stripper.
Jones denied knowing there was 8 grams of pot in the sandwich.
Jones told investigators he planned to use the cell phone to take a picture of Cottrell and give it to his girlfriend.
Jones has been suspended without pay from the Marion County Sheriff's Department who have launched an internal investigation.
