Men's Ultimate Coaching Staff
Jason JarrettHead Coach
Start Date: 04/01/2011
My name is Jason Jarrett and I reside in Lynchburg and am affiliated with Liberty University because my parents met at Liberty back in the 70s. We moved around a little when I was growing up because my father was an ordained pastor. After my dad worked at a few different churches, my family moved back to Lynchburg where I was home schooled for a little while then attended CVCC, Liberty and Virginia Tech. I graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering from Virginia Tech in 2003 and continued working at my job at Innovative Wireless Technologies as a Hardware/RF Engineer.
Growing up, I enjoyed multiple sports including Basketball, Soccer and Running which laid a good foundation for Ultimate Frisbee later in life. I was introduced to Ultimate Frisbee by a friend during the summer of 2003 and immediately enjoyed all aspects of the sport. While participating with a local UF pick-up group, I started helping out with AWANA at Thomas Road Baptist Church which led to my start in officially coaching in sports. After playing Ultimate Frisbee for a few years, I helped combine several small UF pick-up groups around Lynchburg and with Liberty's help, hosted a tournament in 2007. In 2010, I was informed by several local players that Liberty wanted to start Ultimate Frisbee as a Club Sport and thought I would be a good candidate to coach the team. I applied for the position and have coached the Men's and Women's teams for the past couple of years.
Liberty competes against teams with many years of experience and has improved significantly over the past two years. Each year, Liberty has more students interested in joining the team and will only get better with time.

KDE-CVS-Digest for February 6, 2004
In this week's KDE-CVS-Digest:
Thank you!
Thanks YOU for providing every week a lot of information about what's going in KDE CVS. You're doing this for more than a year now and it was and still is always nice to read. In particular the "One year ago" section is a good thing and makes me smile sometimes.
The importance of the KDE-CVS-Digest can not be overestimated, thanks a lot for "feeding" the hungry crowd every week :-)

UNIX Focus Policy
Why are the two UNIX window focus policies:
Focus Under Mouse
considered to be: "unreasonable focus policies"???
If the developers don't want to support these then they should be dropped. But, I don't see the point in denigrating them.
I think that I could probably learn to live with:
Focus Follows Mouse
although I don't understand the exact differences.
By James Richard Tyrer at Sat, 2004/02/07 - 6:00am
Re: UNIX Focus Policy
The difference between the policies is:
Focus Strictly Under Mouse: The focus is on the window under the mouse. If no window is under the mouse, now indow has the focus.
Focus Under Mouse: The focus is on the window under the mouse. If the mouse moves outside of any window, the window that last had the focus keeps it until a new window gets the focus (by virtue of the mouse moving over it).
Focus Under Mouse is okay for me, the strict version I consider unusable. Chaq'un a son façon, however.
By Anno at Sat, 2004/02/07 - 6:00am
Re: UNIX Focus Policy
The difference between focus follows mouse and focus (strictly) under mouse is that the sooner one honours explicit requests to activate a window, while the latter ones stubbornly keep the window under mouse active not matter what (I think it's actually explained in the settings dialog). Therefore even things like clicking on taskbar entries or Alt+F2 don't activate the windows, and that's probably why it's called unreasonable (although other reasons for this name are not impossible, creating some features or fixing bugs with these policies is a pain, my commit is an example of that).
Re: UNIX Focus Policy
I am quite familiar with the difference between: "Focus Under Mouse" and: "Focus Strictly Under Mouse", the very slight difference.
However, I am not certain that I understand the difference between: "Focus Under Mouse" and: "Focus Follows Mouse".
The documentation appears to be wrong in:
and the "Whats This" [?] offers no explanation except to make what I believe are inappropriate statements denigrating the two UNIX policies.
This, IMO, has been further confounded by the fact that up until this release KWin had bugs. Now, it appears to work correctly (I can now use Focus Follows Mouse without problems but I do prefer the strict focus). I think that we could drop the two UNIX policies. But, I would like to see:
"Focus Strictly Follows Mouse"
added if we did that.
By James Richard Tyrer at Sat, 2004/02/07 - 6:00am
Re: UNIX Focus Policy
> However, I am not certain that I understand the difference between: "Focus Under Mouse" and: "Focus Follows Mouse".
Read more carefully, I just explained it to you. You're right that the documentation doesn't explain it correctly; the what's-this is correct though, it just doesn't stress the difference as explicitly as I did (actively moving mouse onto window activates - vs - window under mouse is active).
Trust me, I'd love to drop the unreasonable focus policies. But my self-preservation instict disagrees ;). And guessing from your description, I think you'd actually be one of those demanding my head.
Re: UNIX Focus Policy
Sorry, very dense sometimes.
I can't see any difference between: "Focus Under Mouse" and: "Focus Follows Mouse" when I move the mouse pointer from one open window to another. The only difference that I can observe is that new windows always get focus (and are raised) in: "Focus Follows Mouse" and they need to have the mouse pointer moved into them first with: "Focus Under Mouse". Or, is this a bug in 3.2 since 3.1.5 didn't work that way?
> I think you'd actually be one of those demanding my head.
I used to be in that camp, but that was because of bugs with "Focus Follows Mouse" in previous KWin versions. Windows would come to the top when I moved the mouse into them (it didn't matter that: "Auto Raise" wasn't checked -- it still did it) or windows would disaper under other ones without being asked. I don't like that.
But now I am OK with "Focus Follows Mouse" in 3.2 except that I would prefer to also have the 'strict' version of it available -- if the mouse wasn't in a window, no window would have focus. If that were added, this "hard core" UNIX person would signoff on killing the old UNIX focus policies.
By James Richard Tyrer at Sat, 2004/02/07 - 6:00am
Re: UNIX Focus Policy
I'm a click-to-focus person, so I might be wrong, but: AFAIK the fact that focus under mouse always keeps the window under mouse active while focus follows mouse allows explicit activation of other windows is the only difference. I don't think it worked differently in 3.1.5, and I don't remember doing anything with it. If you think there's something wrong with the current KWin, ->bugs.kde.org please.

OT: autohide
just a question (i did not follow kde in the last years): is it possible, to autohide apps, not only panels? i am quite happy with this fvwm-feature. for example, if i point my cursor on the top of my desktop, a large terminal comes down. very cool for me. and the focussing really kicks ass in fvwm, was there any progress in the last releases?
By me at Sat, 2004/02/07 - 6:00am
Re: OT: autohide
No, the default window manager doesn't have this feature. But you can try running KDE with FVWM (http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/kdewm/ - FVWM should have the necessary support for the WM spec as well, and I'll be happy to add it to the page if you try it out).
Re: OT: autohide
thanks, everything seems to work fine, except for the autohide feature :((
By me at Sat, 2004/02/07 - 6:00am
Re: OT: autohide
Mind mailing me some details (which version, how much you tested it, problems) about how FVWM works in KDE, so I could add it to the page? WMs have to be used for real in order to test them, and I have already enough fun with the default one.

CVS Digest Script
By john at Sun, 2004/02/08 - 6:00am
Re: CVS Digest Script
Its a rather miserable perl script which is incomprehensible even to me who wrote the damn thing.
Right now it depends on the mailings that the kde cvs server does when there is a commit, so I don't think it would translate to another project.
Stay tuned, I'm working on something better. Famous last words.
Send me an email if you would like to know what's in the pipe. I am actually getting something done on it right now.

Anyone know if/when (now that SuSE is in control of the Novell desktop) Evolution will be ported to KDE? I presume it will be, since Novell is going with KDE it only makes sense that they will want to make Evolution a native KDE app.
I'm hoping it's soon... I hate having to have gnome installed just for a few apps (the biggest being Evolution).

By jmk at Mon, 2004/02/09 - 6:00am
Re: question
Porting Evolution to KDE is probably not going to be done. Its unnecessary and a waste of resources. Whoever gave you the idea that they are going to just drop GNOME completely anyway, because that is what yu seem to suggest. Novell is not only going with KDE, at least there is nothing to suggest that. Besides, I believe a lot of Evolution development is taking place in GNOME CVS right now, so it would be foolhardy to think they will make a CVS port.
KDE has Kontact anyway. They do not need Evolution.
By Maynard at Sun, 2004/02/08 - 6:00am
Re: question
I agree with you here, it's very unlikely Evolution would be ported. However, it would be nice to see if Evolution gets optional KDE support using the QtGTK stuff, getting KDE print and file dialogs perhaps.

Actually, we got constellation *boundaries*
Just a clarification; we've had constellation *lines* for a very long time. We now have added official IAU constellation *boundaries*. As the CVS digest shows, we did also improve the way the constellation lines are implemented, however.
Anyway, don't mean to complain, we're always happy to get a mention in the digest, Derek! ;)

Trying not to be a license troll...
Now that it is possible to create KDE applications using GTK (through various bridging technologies), is possible to create applications for KDE that aren't GPL (without paying Trolltech)?
My guess is no, since I imagine the code that bridges the event loops and the theme engine eventually links back to QT somehow. Am I right here?
Note: Sorry that this is offtopic - I really don't even care about the issue that much myself. But I can't sleep and for some reason the question is bugging me, so I thought I'd get a second opinion here.
By Anonymous at Mon, 2004/02/09 - 6:00am
Re: Trying not to be a license troll...
My guess is: no. At least, I hope not to be honest.
By André Somers at Mon, 2004/02/09 - 6:00am
Re: Trying not to be a license troll...
in principle I think you are right with the non-GPL applications. But I cannot do GPL applications for Windows and Linux using QT, cause the noncommercial-licence forbids to make money of a program, unlike the GPL, which explicitely allows me to do so! The real problem with QT is not being restricted to the GPL but being restricted to Linux/MacOSX when doing GPL programs.
By Michael at Mon, 2004/02/09 - 6:00am
Re: Trying not to be a license troll...
KDE doesn't consist only of GPL applications, far from it, see http://tinyurl.com/39epy . Using the Qt/X11's QPL you can choose any license you want as long as you include the software's source code. If you don't care to contribute (either by offering source code or by paying the Qt developers) you are very welcome to look elsewhere.
By Datschge at Mon, 2004/02/09 - 6:00am
Re: Trying not to be a license troll...
Just to clarify I'm not someone who is interested in not paying Trolltech, but I have seen a lot of license trolls about KDE. I was wondering whether we are close to having a way for them to keep their precious LGPL'ness or commercialness by allowing GTK apps to access parts of KDE.
Besides, it is a bit of a stretch to call a GTK app that is using KDE desktop libraries (such as IOSlaves, dialogs, theming) a QT derivative. The only thing that makes this so is multiple levels of linking though non-GPL'd (usually LGPL, BSD, or other) KDE libraries to the GPL'd QT.
If I started doing UI code for KDE, I'd personally use QT since from all accounts it is easier to work with and leads to faster development times. But for those who dislike QT licensing for whatever reason, I'd think having the option to do GTK-KDE apps without QT licensing restrictions would maybe give them no more reason to troll KDE. They'd have to make up some other imaginary problem, as this slight problem (or non-problem, depending who you ask) would no longer exist.

Going to London for a photography course at London College of Printing, he soon got a call by Nick Knight, who was looking for an assistant. Nick Knight is among the world's most visionary photographers and director of SHOWstudio, so Sundsbø couldn't ask for a better chance.

Thanksgiving is a time of sharing with friends and family -- it should not be a time of worrying about rosacea flare-ups. Here are a few tips and reminders for managing your rosacea during the busy holiday week.
Thanksgiving is a time of sharing with friends and family -- it should not be a time of worrying about rosacea flare-ups. Here are a few tips and reminders for managing your rosacea during the busy holiday week.
The emotional impact of rosacea is often substantial regardless of subtype or severity, according to results of a new National Rosacea Society patient survey.
One of the most common signs of rosacea, bumps and pimples, is also one of the most common causes of confusion about the disorder.
The National Rosacea Society has awarded funding for two new studies in addition to continuing support for five ongoing studies during the year as part of its research grants program.
New First-In-Class Prescription Mirvaso® Gel Now Available for the Treatment of the Facial Redness of Rosacea
Brigitte Brocato doesn't credit one particular lifestyle change with helping her manage her rosacea. Instead, she credits a laundry list of adjustments she has made over the years.
A new study found that people with rosacea may be at increased risk for cardiovascular disease.
New developments in skin care and cosmetics may increase the comfort of rosacea patients while laying a foundation for managing the condition as well as improving appearance.
While the arrival of fall may bring on a familiar nostalgia as the weather cools and the leaves start to change, it can be a particularly challenging time of year for those who suffer from rosacea.
In this vintage video, Fox 26 in Houston broadcast a news item about research into how rosacea can affect people's work lives.
Residents of New England appear to suffer the highest incidence of rosacea in the United States, while those in Hawaii may be affected the least, according to a geographic analysis of NRS membership data.
The latest issue of Rosacea Review is now available online, with survey results on the progression of rosacea signs and symptoms, reports on research, a map illustrating the prevalence of rosacea state by state, and more.
A new study in Mexico found further evidence of a potential relationship between a microscopic parasite and rosacea.
The NRS is happy to announce its newly launched Pinterest Board where rosacea patients can find more helpful tips and information for managing rosacea.
New research into the development of subtype 4 ocular rosacea has found a strong correlation between certain components of the innate immune system and abnormalities in the blood vessels of the eyelids and eyes of those who suffer from the disorder.
Making the time to perform a warm water eye soak each morning could be difficult for someone who knows she can't be late to her job as a dental hygienist, but for 59-year-old Carol Christensen from Minnesota, the effort is well worth it. "Having comfortable eyes is really bliss," she said.
A possible genetic link found in twins with rosacea and increased understanding of biochemical processes that may lead to the disorder are among the insights reported by investigators at the midpoints of their new research supported by the National Rosacea Society.
Doctors have suspected a possible increased incidence of migraine headaches in rosacea patients since the 1970s, but only a handful of small studies has examined the connection between these two chronic conditions. Now, a large study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology has demonstrated that women with migraines have an increased risk of developing reosacea, particularly as they get older.
Although rosacea can vary substantially from one individual to another, flushing and persistent redness are by far the most common initial signs of the disorder, according to a new survey conducted by the National Rosacea Society.
Many spas, salons and clinics offer cosmetic and medical procedures touted to make your skin look younger and healthier, but rosacea patients with sensitive skin need to be particularly aware of potential adverse effects.
The National Rosacea Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve the lives of people with rosacea by raising awareness, providing public health information and supporting medical research on this widespread but little-known disorder. The information the Society provides should not be considered medical advice, nor is it intended to replace
consultation with a qualified physician. The Society does not evaluate, endorse or recommend any particular medications, products, equipment or treatments. Rosacea may vary substantially from one patient to another, and treatment must be tailored by a physician for each individual case. For more information, visit About Us.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The BET Awards on Sunday split top honors among several artists, including Beyonce and Chris Brown, in a telecast filled with lively performances and an emotional tribute to late singer Whitney Houston.
Beyonce was named best female R&B artist, while Brown, who performed his hit single "Turn Up the Music" from his new album "Fortune," earned the title best male artist. Rappers Jay-Z and Kanye West won best group with their smash hit album "Watch the Throne."
But the brightest spotlight shined on late singer Whitney Houston, who was found dead in a bathtub at a Beverly Hills hotel in February. Authorities have said the pop star died of an accidental drowning brought on by cocaine use and heart disease.
Mariah Carey, in a glittering gold dress onstage, shared humorous anecdotes of her encounters with Houston, whose hits from the 1980s and '90s included "I Will Always Love You."
"I miss my friend. I miss hearing her voice and laughter, but we'll always have the music. We'll always have that voice we fell in love with, she inspired us all, we'll always have my friend Whitney Houston," Carey said.
Singer Monica performed Houston's "I Love The Lord," and was followed by Brandy in a medley of "I'm Your Baby Tonight" and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody." The tribute became a family affair as Houston's brother Gary sang "Where You Are," followed by her mother Cissy, who gave a heartfelt rendition of "Bridge Over Troubled Water," earning a standing ovation.
Houston's co-stars from her 1995 film "Waiting To Exhale" also remembered the late star, before Chaka Khan rounded out the tribute with the late singer's classic hit, "I'm Every Woman."
The show also paid homage to the late Donna Summer, Dick Clark and Don Cornelius.
The annual BET Awards celebrate black musicians, actors and athletes, giving out awards in 20 categories at a show that airs on the cable TV network, BET.
Coming into the night, award nominees were led by Kanye West in seven categories, followed by Beyonce, with six nods, and her rapper husband Jay-Z with five.
Along with the best group trophy, Jay-Z and Kanye West won video of the year for "Otis," beating Beyonce and Usher.
Brown picked up the best male R&B artist award for the second year running, while rapper Big Sean took home the coveted best new artist award. Rappers Wale and Miguel picked up the best collaboration accolade for their song "Lotus Flower Bomb."
Best female hip-hop artist went to Nicki Minaj, and comedian Kevin Hart took best actor, edging out stiff competition from Don Cheadle, Common, Idris Elba and Denzel Washington.
Rappers from Kanye West's GOOD music label kicked off the show, before West took the stage to sing "Cold," the track that made headlines earlier this year after West rapped about falling in love with Kim Kardashian.
Kardashian, whom West is now dating, joined Beyonce and rapper Nicki Minaj in the front row of the audience at the show.

AWS Holiday Gift Guide
Dear Santa,
I'm sure you've been paying attention (and I heard you are a big wakeskater yourself) but we have been really, really good this year. We update the site almost every day, try to be nice to everyone, and always wear our vest when we ride. So hopefully you still have time to pick up a few more items for us, and we have some suggestions.
First, we'd like a pair of Matix Gusto Boardshorts. These babies have special pockets for our beverages, which always get warm when we hold them in our hands. With these we could actually make use of the cold-ass water on the west coast for something productive- a cooler!
Speaking of that cold water. Our old top is starting to get holes in it and stretches out to fit more like a garbage bag when it gets wet. We were thinking the O'neill Gooru Glide L/S Crew would be mighty awesome to have. It's good enough for World Cup surfers so it sure would work for us! Oh yeah, our old vest is pretty lame too, and Helium is making some really cool ones. Personally we'd love to get our hands on the Risky Business. It's stylish, our favorite color (yellow) and looks super comfy. I think I even saw Ben Horan rocking it a few times this year!
I know we said we've been nice, but there's one thing that it's getting tough to be nice about. The guys we usually ride with listen to terrible music. We're talking jam band style, but worse. So we'd really like to get the H20 Amphibix Armband. This thing fits any iPod and even our iPhone and keeps it dry and secure while we're riding. Pretty please! Oh yeah, while we're on music, we really want a set of Skull Candy Low Rider Headphones. They come in a ton of colors and would be great for drowning out that terrible music we mentioned once we are on the boat.
Another thing we need for chilling on the boat. Some new sunglasses! Number one on our list is the Oakley Jupiters. They are a reissue of the classic Frogskins, and super rad! Of course, if you could find us some mint condition original Frogskins, we'd settle for those too.
One thing we really want to work on this year is lock in tricks. It seems like this is the direction wakeskating is going, we want to support it because it's awesome. So maybe in our stocking, you could find away to get us some Oak Udders. We promise by next Christmas we'll at least have noseslides down if you do! One more equipment related thing too. Bi-levels are great, but we keep breaking top decks. So maybe you could hook up a few replacement top decks from Devotid. They are totally affordable and even come with grip tape!
Just one last thing on our list this year. We noticed Integrity has gift certificates and we know they've got some amazing stuff coming out for '09 so we were hoping you might be able to hook one of those up. No pressure, but you can get them for any amount from $25 to $5000. Seriously though, no pressure.
Well Santa, we just wanted to say thank you in advance and great job over the past however many years. You really are the bees knees!
Alliance Wakeskate
PS: You'll get those kickflips! Here's some more info on the products we mentioned and where to get them.

The quality of America's book review section is one of our boasts. Our literary editors have had a rule, however, that we do not invite reviews of collected essays. It is a rule I subscribe to; but one I occasionally work around by devoting an Of Many Things column to a worthwhile compilation. The book that moves me to circumvent the rule this week is Dennis R. Hoover and Douglas M. Johnston's Religion and Foreign Affairs: Essential Readings (Baylor). At more than 600 large pages, it is a hefty book, but the richness of its content should make it a standard text.
Dennis R. Hoover is editor of The Review of Faith and International Affairs, a journal published by the Institute for Global Engagement founded by the far-sighted Robert A. Seiple. Doug Johnston is the founder of the Center for Religion and Diplomacy, a leader in the academic study of the role of religion in foreign policy and an action intellectual who has pursued religious reconciliation in some of the world's most troubled conflict zones.
I have worked with both editors, publishing a number of articles in Faith and International Affairs, including one, "Catholic Peacemaking, 1991-2005: The Legacy of Pope John Paul II," republished in this volume. Doug Johnston was a collaborator with me in a project at the Woodstock Theological Center on forgiveness in politics that led to a book of the same name that I co-authored.
Religion and Foreign Affairs has a broad scope, beginning with an examination of secularization in the study and practice of international affairs. That section opens with a piece by Charles Taylor on secularization and closes with another by David Brooks on "Kicking the Secularist Habit." After treating the interconnected topics of the ethics of force, religion and conflict and religion and peacemaking, it moves on to treat religion and globalization, economic development and democracy, as well as religious freedom and human rights.
The contributions include some by classic authors like Thucydides, Augustine and Aquinas. There are notable moderns, like Reinhold Niebuhr, John Howard Yoder and Peter Berger, along with practicing scholars, like Jose Casanova, R. Scott Appleby and Timothy A. Byrnes, and public intellectuals, like Brooks, Robert D. Kaplan, Samuel P. Huntington and Vali Nasr.
There is more than enough material here for a one-semester course or even a two-semester seminar interspersed with reading of full-length, original sources. For my own taste, however, there is too little on the contribution of religious pacifism and active nonviolence. Though there are responses by Yoder and Rowan Williams to permissive application of the just war, the selections lean to realist and Christian realist perspectives. This is disappointing because Johnston, in particular, began his work bringing the work of peacemakers like the Mennonites to public attention.
My other reservation is that Catholic sources are under-represented. The millennium between Augustine and the early modern period is represented solely by Aquinas, and the modern period overlooks key thinkers like John Ford, John Courtney Murray and J. Bryan Hehir, not to mention epochal church teachings, like "Pacem in Terris" and "Gaudium et Spes," which re-shaped the church's role in world politics. It also neglects "The Challenge of Peace," which taught the whole nation how to apply the just war in the nuclear age.
Reservations aside, Religion and Foreign Affairs is an extraordinary achievement. It is a must-have for both personal and university libraries.

Michael.jeun.2011 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 79 designs submitted by 29 freelance designers.
Cohen & Associates
We are a real estate investment company. We invest in commerical real estate such as condominiums, malls, and industrial properties. Our clients are investors who are high net worth private individuals as well as institutional money managers. Our properties are mainly located in southern california, texas, florida, and colorado. We are looking for a professional, clean, and modern looking logo. We like the logos from the following websites.
We are not sure whether we want a simple graphic to be part of the logo or if we just want text.
Our target audience consists of high net worth individual investors, small to medium sized institutional investors, and everyone else in the real estate community (brokers, other real estate investors, lenders, etc.) I'd say the demographic is educated, 35+, mostly males.
We'd like it to be better than our current logo which is on our website
If a graphic is to be part of the logo, it needs to be simple and related to real estate. We don't mind if the logo has one line or two lines (top and bottom). We prefer a blue theme but open to other color schemes.

Twin Falls, on the GR-1NC walking track, is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in New Caledonia. This image was taken after a long spell of heavy rains and it was really pumping.
This was a test of my new 7 camera SuperHero rig. I have 7 of these cute little GoPro cameras cuddled together on a rig that I can hang from a kite or hoist on a pole. Here it is hoisted on a telescopic carbon fibre pole (a fishing pole actually) about 5 metres above where I was standing. Turn them all on, hoist them up, presto - a sphere image. The whole rig weighs in at just under a kilogram and was easy to handle at the upper end of the 5 metre fishing pole as long as I didn't let it get too far out of vertical balance.
The resulting images had to be processed to balance the light and color because the GoPro is a miserable little thing for color balance when you point it at different angles to the sun. Also it does not do well when the image is half shady and half sunny. But the final resolution and color isn't bad at all.
Once I stiched one set of 7 any set of 7 images will have the exact same stitching characteristics. Which made it easy to set up a template in PTGui. Pop in the images, run the template and presto - a processed sphere.
Now if the weather starts cooperating I'll try the SuperHero dangling from a Kite out over the lagoon.
New Caledonia is the closest South Pacific Island to Australia and New Zealand. It is a French Territory and although the official language is French the culture is a blend of Melanesian, European, Polynesian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Indonesian, and more. There is one large mountainous island called Grande Terre and 6 smaller islands - the three Loyalty Islands, Belep and the Isle of Pines.The islands are remarkably unpopulated and there are vast areas of wilderness. There are hundreds of kilometers of walking treks, camp grounds, more than 42 parks and reserves, and crystal clear rivers with sparkling waterfalls. Almost one third of the population is located in the capital city of Noumea. Nickel mining is the primary industry and is the major contributor to the high standard of living in the country. Grande Terre is surrounded by the second largest barrier reef in the world and the protected lagoon created by this barrier reef is the largest in the world. Listed as a World Heritage Site in 2008, the lagoon is 24,000 square kilometers and supports a diverse and luxuriant fauna of fish and invertebrates.The vibrant, clear and rich colors are one of the first things that visitors notice when they arrive. Noumea has a complete range of hotels, resorts, restaurants, and activities to welcome visitors.

As a patient at Samaritan Medical Center, you can rest assured you will receive focused care and attention from a dedicated team of medical professionals – including Hospitalists. Think of Hospitalists as hospital specialists - full-time physicians in the hospital who make your care and recovery their top priority. A Hospitalist is a physician specially trained in Internal Medicine who focuses on caring for special needs of patients in the hospital, those with numerous complex medical problems that require acute inpatient care. Because they concentrate on just hospital care, Hospitalists are able to devote all of their efforts in the care of acutely ill patients.
Our Hospitalists (click to see full list)
Common questions about the Hospitalist Program
Why is a Hospitalist seeing me?
Your Primary Care Physician may have formed a partnership with the Hospitalists to better serve your medical needs, or you may not have yet chosen a Primary Care Physician.
Will I still see my own Physician?
Your Primary Care Physician will continue to care for you outside the hospital. Hospitalists will consult with and communicate with your Primary Care Physician to better care for your overall needs. Hospitalists are, in essence, your physician's partners here in the hospital.
How should my family and I communicate with the Hospitalist?
Hospitalists are focused on providing you with as much information as possible about the care that you are receiving. They are your partners in your care, as much as your Primary Care Physician. If you have any questions, please ask.
What happens to me after discharge?
You will go back to your Primary Care Physician. If you have not yet selected a Primary Care Physician, the Hospitalist Service will be glad to refer you to a physician in the community. Your Hospitalist will communicate with your Primary Care Physician to keep him or her up-to-date about your hospital stay.
Who will give me prescriptions for the new medications started in the hospital?
The Hospitalist will arrange for prescriptions for any new medications.
I've left the hospital, and I have a problem. Who do I call?
The Hospitalist is responsible for your care while you are in the hospital. Once you have been discharged, please call your Primary Care Physician.

Interesting. Kind of what I thought.......I don't hear a lot of surfers saying they lean towards not using the kite.
I did not mean to imply in my original post that there's any right or wrong way to do it in the waves. I'm thinking that guys that have surfed in the past will have an initial advantage in the waves due to wave knowledge, etc, but I think it's pretty obvious that the learning curve for waves is much shorter for somebody with a kite even if they have zero surfing experience......surfing if you're in the wrong position, you're done. Kiting you can boost out of bad positions, and you get zillions of more waves.
I'm not trying to get anybody new excited about going out in the waves. Please remember, there are sharks and horrible horrible other things, currents etc. I'm joking but I'm serious.
My own thing is the joy of carving. You don't even need a wave to carve when you've got a kite to supply the power. So much fun, and the wave is a multiplier. Since I'm personally not into doing the handlepass/wakeboard style stuff, I really don't do much unhooked. And since I'm kind of a wimp about putting my kite down in the waves, I try to avoid being unhooked in the waves. One more thing to go wrong......
That being said, as Ramsey points out, unhooked forces you to minimize the use of the power of the kite in many ways. And I suppose that you could lean towards Ben Wilson's idea of trying to promote the "purity" of using just the wave as much as possible.
But from observation and extrapolating from my own experience, it looks like it's difficult to resist "the dark side" of the force of the kite. We all know some guys that surf.....maybe even they windsurf, too.......that resist the idea of taking up kiting, SUPing or whatever because they don't want to be untrue to their first love and id of surfing.
Their loss. For most of us, it's an incomprehensible divide.

The political debates for U.S. House and U.S. Senate at the University of Delaware Tuesday night started with citizens' protests and ended with accusations of corruption and health problems against incumbent Sen. Tom Carper.
The political debates for U.S. House and U.S. Senate at the University of Delaware Tuesday night started with citizens' protests and ended with accusations of corruption and health problems against incumbent Sen. Tom Carper.
The "Delaware Debates 2012" at Mitchell Hall were organized by Delaware First Media, WDDE 91.1 FM, and the University of Delaware Center for Political Education, and were moderated by Nancy Karibjanian from Delaware First Media and Jason Mycoff, a University of Delaware political science professor.
Just as the Democratic and Republican U.S. House candidates were introduced, several people in the audience began shouting, protesting the exclusion of third party candidates at the debate. As they continued shouting, police officers and security staff forcibly removed several protesters, and then the debate began with one minute for opening statements.
One-term incumbent Rep. John Carney, a Democrat, emphasized how he will work in a bipartisan manner to solve problems in Congress.
"I will continue to do in Washington what I did in Delaware: work across the aisle to get things done," he said. "I learned early on that compromise is part of life."
His Republican opponent, New Castle County Council President Tom Kovach, said Delawareans need a Representative with his private sector experience, who has proven he can work with the other party and with independents.
The majority of the one-hour debate featured questions from the moderators, and discussion of those issues between the candidates.
The first question was about how to bring down the unemployment rate.
Carney said, "Jobs and getting the economy going are the number one priority."
Tackling the fiscal cliff — the combination of automatic, across-the-board spending cuts and tax increases scheduled to happen Jan. 1 — is a major concern, he said.
"Small business owners tell me they need certainty before they'll start hiring and expanding," Carney said.
Working together on a common-sense approach to the looming fiscal cliff will remove that uncertainty, he said, adding that another job creator would be for Congress to pass an infrastructure bill to put people to work on transportation and utility construction projects.
Kovach said Congress and President Obama have tried stimulus packages in an attempt to jumpstart the economy, "but they haven't addressed the fundamental problems."
Kovach said government regulations such as the national health insurance law are causing businesses to reduce employees' hours and lay off employees.
"Government needs to get out of the way," Kovach said.
As for tax reform, Kovach said he wouldn't rule out raising tax revenue by making the the tax code "flatter and more predictable."
"This $16 trillion debt has got to be reined in," he said. "We can increase revenue without harming our fragile business economy."
Carney advocated the measures outlined by the Simpson-Bowles bipartisan committee that includes spending cuts and tax reforms, and said that he was one of only 38 members of the House — 20 Democrats and 18 Republicans — to vote for the Simpson-Boles plan.
As for budget cuts he'd make, Carney said closing military bases overseas, putting an end to "nation building" in Afghanistan, and eliminating subsidies for oil and gas companies.
Kovach said cost containment for healthcare, a better energy policy, and spending less overseas would help bring down budget deficits. He advocated tort reform — limiting lawsuits —as a crucial component of bringing down healthcare costs, because now the fear of lawsuits leads to "defensive medical procedures" such as lots of tests that aren't necessary except to help prevent possible lawsuits.
Kovach opposes the national health insurance law, the Affordable Care Act.
"I don't believe we need to require insurance for everyone," he said. "If you think healthcare is expensive now, wait until it's free and there's no personal responsibility."
Carney said the Affordable Care Act "is not perfect," and some adjustments are being made, but it's the "only chance we have to get costs under control."
In education, Carney said a strong teacher in a classroom backed up with discipline is what's needed most.
Kovach advocated less federal government requirements and more local control of schools: "The top-down approach doesn't work."
The final part of the debate featured questions from students, recorded on video, from the University of Delaware and Delaware State University.
Questions ranged from which Senator from the other party could the candidates work with, to capital gains taxes, to healthcare for the uninsured and campaign finance reform.
The second debate of the evening featured U.S. Senate candidates, incumbent Democratic Senator Tom Carper, Republican Kevin Wade, and Independent candidate Alex Pires.
In the opening statements, Pires wasted no time in attacking Carper.
"I'm tired of the corruption in Delaware, and Tom Carper is the most corrupt politician I know," said Pires, a lawyer and businessman. "I could easily turn the Senate around as an Independent. The reign of Carper will end, and his corruption will end."
Pires later described Carper as the "waterboy for the Democratic Party and (Senate Minority Leader) Harry Reid."
"He only cares about them," Pires said. "Have you ever heard of 'The Carper Act' or 'The Carper Bill'? He's a follower, not a leader. He's a waterboy. The banks — he's their number one man."
Moderator Nancy Karibjanian asked Pires why he continues to question Carper's health status during the campaign when those claims are unsubstantiated.
"They're not unsubstantiated," Pires said. "I've been with him at debates and seen it. At the Jewish Community Center debate there were times he was speaking and he just stopped. He couldn't focus. It's not fair to the citizens. This is a six-year term. He should release his medical records."
Carper called Pires' claim "baloney," and said he has posted a letter from his doctor on his website, attesting to his good health and listing the medications he takes.
"Let's focus on our nation's fiscal health," said Carper.
Pires didn't stop, though, saying Carper's situation is similar to that of former U.S. Senator Bill Roth who experienced fainting spells during a couple of campaign appearances when he was being challenged by Carper 12 years ago.
After the health allegations, the candidates fielded a question from a University of Delaware student, asking if they favored marriage equality.
Carper said the states set the rules for marriage and that several different courts have ruled that the federal Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional.
"They've said we cannot treat people unfairly and I would vote against the Defense of Marriage Act," said Carper.
Pires responded, "That's what I'm talking about. That was complete gobbledygook. Did anyone understand any of that? I support gay marriage. Do you understand that? I support gay marriage."
Republican candidate Kevin Wade said gay marriage is a "fringe issue that's not what people are talking about the most" with all the other problems such as unemployment and the ever-increasing budget deficit.
"For the record, though, I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman, and that's the foundation of every community," Wade said.
At the start of the debate, Wade said, "I'm not here for the Republican Party. Washington is broken and it's reached into our homes," and he criticized politicians for being more concerned about getting re-elected than in solving the nation's problems.
He said he would bring "small business common sense" to Washington.
"I started my business at our kitchen table 30 years ago, (a speciality engineering company) and I had to balance our budget every month for 30 years," he said.
He also recommended tax reform for "the rest of us" who can't afford tax attorneys and lobbyists.
Wade said that Carper hasn't done "the hard work that should have been done years ago," that has now led to the problems that threaten the financial stability of our country for the next generation.
One of the keys to solving the financial problems will be finding ways to be energy independent, he said, utilizing the resources we have right here in America.
Carper endorsed the recommendations of the Simpson-Bowles bipartisan committee to reduce spending and reform taxes: "It's the best blueprint I've seen."
His top priorities for creating jobs include investing in transportation infrastructure, technology, and education. He said he was proud when he was governor that Delaware helped fund Head Start that was only partially funded by the federal government, as a way to make sure every child started kindergarten with a solid educational foundation.
Pires closed with more criticism of the incumbent.
"I didn't need this. I wanted to get someone to run against Carper. He's everything I hate about government," said Pires. "I believe at one time he was a good legislator, but he's become what most politicians become after they've been in office too long. The country needs new faces, independent voices. I'd like to serve for six years, and then I hope I've inspired some of you to run after that."
Carper replied, "I don't know how you say this stuff with a straight face."
Then he outlined his priorities if re-elected: creating jobs, deficit reduction as recommended by the Simpson-Bowles committee, and continuing to be a "spendthrift" by examining how to get the most for the money out of every program and eliminating fraud and waste.
After the debates, outside Mitchell Hall, more protesters held signs that read "3rd Party Voices Matter Too," "The Real Debate = No Party Excluded," and "Occupy Delaware," while chanting "This is what Democracy looks like. We are what Democracy looks like."
Wednesday night, "Delaware Debates 2012" continue at the University of Delaware, with the candidates for Delaware governor and lieutenant governor.

I did a little research on Igor Olshansky to try to figure out just what the Cowboys got when they signed him. The side-by-side comparison below seems to indicate that the Cowboys got a bargain replacement for Canty. Although the production of Olshansky is slightly lower than Canty, the overall run defense support is what is important. Both players were operating in the same Wade Phillips 3-4 scheme and it would appear that they are almost interchangeable in terms of size and the ability to support the run. I think Jerry Jones made a very good move for the Cowboys especially when you look at the impact each player has on his team's salary cap.

Heavily Babe oriented, I guess it's mostly for men.
Gender neutral, and certainly no less important to me is my poetry on Single Swingle:

Canty is definately overrated. Igor is the smarter choice. I think the Giants will realize they overpayed for Canty.ReplyDelete

use to discuss the "New Episodes of the First Season" (Season 1.5), since they are called "Second Season" as well.
Honestly, this post:
I like the "Season 1.5" idea.
| I usually use Kaisos suggestion, is the consensus on my contry fandom. But noone in this forum seems to do.

And while we're still debating the semantics of the new episodes, we are still not in the "Current Series" forum where, by definition, is where "Forums for discussing popular anime that are currently airing." I know I know, many have spoken and they (admins) are getting to that. I'd just like to air my personal "still stuck as 2nd class citizen category" feeling in the context of the current discussions.

Haven't heard the T-word for a while. But the mods are assuming, and perhaps rightfully so, that there a chance that there might not be another new episode beyond BLR. If that's the case we'd better move the hell up there NOW while we can still enjoy the ambiguity.
Santo Subito! Or rather, serie corrente subito!!

Mainly its just saying that the news of Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody caused a data explosion on the internets.
2ch became more insane than they already were with people spamming the arrival.
ANN spreaded the news immediately.
The lyrics of ED, 'Tomare!', appeared instantaneously over blogs.
When the episode got on Youtube, it got 120,000 views on the first day.

Edit: Oh yeah, and by the way, about moving the sub-forum, the admins are just waiting for the second new episode to air as a confirmation of the current theory re: this re-launch.

Changing a topic title on the fly just to quash the apparent majority opinion of what the topic is about is a start up a slippery slope. But, since we do already have a catch-all "Future Episode Synopses/Series Predictions/General Speculation" topic that can technically accomodate "true" second season discussion, I will limit my own "second season" discussion in this topic, but I do so under duress...
Might as well go all the way, though. If you would, please do your mod thing and move all the previous "29+" discussion from here to that topic. I would hate to have to cross-post and violate the forum rules. (just the actual S2 discussionkeep the posts, like this one, that discuss the on-topicness, so that future readers will be confused and we can farm lulz from them ^_^)

You're right that this thread has too many topics and trying to re-organize it while continuing the thread under a new banner is likely a futile effort. So let's call a spade a spade and start over. I will move the 29+ discussion to the future episode threads as you discussed, create a new thread for the 2009 Re-Launch, and lock this thread as "Second Season Speculation". Now that a second season of a sort has come to pass, the topic here can now diverge in the two separate directions: either to talk about the 2009 re-launch (rumoured episodes 15-28, so to speak), OR to talk in general about possible future episodes in the Future Episode speculation thread. This thread has had a long and fruitful life covering all the developments that got us to this point, so I think there's no harm done in putting it out to pasture.
I trust that this solution will be more equitable to both sides of the argument. Feel free to let me know if you have any concerns (but I'd ask that you give it a bit of time to get used to the new setup first).
Edit: Migration of that conversation thread is complete. Doing a bit of cleanup here.

We are looking for a redesign of our current site to make it more appealing and interesting to our audience. We market to a sort of "Green" crowd. People who are interested in getting the best natural products and services they can to maintain their best health! Generally, our target audience is healthy, eats organic foods, lives a green lifestyle, and tries to make the best choices for themselves and their families with regards to food and nutrition.
They also are interested in a sustainable lifestyle, buy from local suppliers, care about community involvement. Boise also has a really active outdoor community, so references to nature are always great.
Resonance Natural Health
Our current site is ResonanceNaturalHealth.com. The colors and layout are kind of boring and dull and we want to brighten it up a bit. My husband and I run our business together and we specialize in Individualized Live Source Nutrition Programs, Acupuncture, and Vastu, which is kind of like Feng Shui.We have been around for a couple of years and we really need to be able to have a very information rich website so our clients can go there to get some of their questions answered. So, we will need room to grow, We also need a site that will be better able to engage and draw in new clients.Our site before we changed our name; http://www.boiseacu.comOur site will also eventually have an e-commerce section and I am looking for a designer who can help me with future projects such as this.
- Item 1...- Our Tagline: Live Your Best Life. Have Your Best Health.I do need buttons that say: 10 Secrets You May Not Know; 5 Major Nutrition Myths; 5 Steps to Great Health; also a newsletter signup.
- The menu items will remain the same as http://www.resonanceNaturalhealth.com Except I would like to add a Testimonials item to the menu.I Like: http://www.experienceshakti.com for the layout and general feel, it is friendly and inviting. I Like: http://www.bouldercountyacupuncture.com for the header and footer of the homepage, especially the tryptich on the bottom. I would love to have this info on my homepage in this format since it really engages the viewer, shows them who we are, that people love what we do, and gives them a call to action, perfect!
- Generally, clean, fresh, professional, intelligent, simple, and a little playful!
- Colors are flexible. I have attached an image of our logo in the Newsletter section of our current site. This will need to appear on the webpage. A side menu bar may work well for these buttons and newsletter.
- Just a note, our current site content is under revision and the site by no way is complete.
- Item 1...Needles, or a Yin Yang symbol. Really anything overly "Chinese Medicine" because we are trying to present a more integrated approach that includes modern nutrition and eastern traditions.

February 6, 2019, 11:01 pmJoe Harris - G/F - Brooklyn Nets
Joe Harris returned from a one-game absence in Wednesday's 135-130 win over the Nuggets and looked like his old self as he chipped in 17 points on 7-of-13 shooting with five rebounds, two assists and of course three triples.
This is a vintage Joe Harris line and the 32 minutes he logged signal his injury is behind him. Deploy him as normal with confidence.

Marshon Brooks has agreed to terms with the Guangdong Tigers of the Chinese Basketball Association, according to Sportando.
Brooks played 29 games for the Grizzlies this season averaging 6.6 points and he is expected to replace Malcolm Delaney. Leave him on the waiver wire.

February 19, 2019, 11:35 amKristaps Porzingis - F/C - Dallas Mavericks
Mark Cuban said that Kristaps Porzingis won't play this season, even if the Mavs somehow are able to make the playoffs.
The Mavs want to put their world-class training staff, led by Casey Smith, to work, strengthening Porzingis' body the rest of this season and throughout the summer to hopefully prevent similar injuries in the future. And after all, given the amount of money the Mavs could be committing to KP this summer, a max salary of $158 million, there is no need to risk something happening to him in a season where making the playoffs seems unlikely. Kristaps remains a great stash in redraft leagues.

February 19, 2019, 11:23 amLeBron James - F - Los Angeles Lakers
Joe Vardon of The Athletic is reporting that the Lakers are "somehow a little concerned" about LeBron James.
LeBron hasn't been showing the same speed or overall movement lately and the team is concerned that he's not fully recovered from the groin injury that cost him to miss a career-high 18 games. The Lakers are in the 10th place in the Western Conference, three games behind the Clippers for the eighth and final playoff spot and they will need LeBron to be healthy for the rest of the season. James is averaging 26.8 points, 8.6 rebounds and 7.6 assists in 35 minutes per game, while his shooting percentage (51 percent), 3-point percentage (35 percent) and free-throw percentage (68 percent) are all down from last season. He is still returning borderline top-15 value in standard leagues and owners can only hope he doesn't suffer a setback.

February 19, 2019, 9:49 amMichael Beasley - F - Los Angeles Clippers
Ex-Lakers forward Michael Beasley is finalizing a deal to play with Guangdong Tigers of the Chinese Basketball Association, according to Adrian Wojnarowski.
Beasley returns to a league he is familiar with after an up and down season with the Lakers where he failed to produce consistently. It's the smart thing to do since the Chinese team is offering him a lucrative deal and we wouldn't expect to see him play again in the NBA, at least this season. Drop him if you haven't already.

February 18, 2019, 8:24 pmAnthony Davis - F/C - New Orleans Pelicans
There are people within the Pelicans organization that feel Anthony Davis has played his last game with the franchise.
This is according to Scott Kushner of The Advocate who also reminds us that AD says he wants to continue playing. This is just a reminder that Anthony Davis can realistically be anywhere from the most valuable to the least valuable player in fantasy for the rest of the season. The Pelicans are also tied for the fewest games during the head-to-head playoffs.

The Kings have signed Corey Brewer to a second 10-day contract.
Brewer has yet to make an appearance with the Kings, so there's no fantasy relevance here. He would need a few wings to go down to even make him a potential streamer.

February 18, 2019, 5:10 pmChandler Parsons - F - Memphis Grizzlies
Grizzlies coach J.B. Bickerstaff said he's open to giving Chandler Parsons (knee) some playing time going forward.
"I think it'll be good that we're coming out of the break and we'll have a few days to practice just to get him on the court, get him back with the group, see where he is," Bickerstaff said. "It's been a while since he's played as well. So it'll be good to have him on the floor, get up and down a little bit, see where he is physically and mentally and then we'll go from there." This is softer than the Shams Charania reports about returning to the Grizzlies lineup, which were curious at best, and owners should take a wait and see approach to his playing time. He hasn't been playing for multiple reasons.
February 18, 2019, 5:08 pmMilos Teodosic - G - Los Angeles Clippers
Milos Teodosic will reportedly sit out the rest of the 2018-19 season.
Teodosic was never as good as the hype but he was fun to watch pass. Hopefully he can keep his career going overseas.

February 18, 2019, 5:06 pmKevin Knox - F - New York Knicks
Knicks owner James Dolan is seriously considering selling the team according to The Ringer's Bill Simmons.
The team outright denied the report today but surely Knicks fans are rolling their eyes over that, and hoping that Dolan sells the squad with no haste.

February 17, 2019, 11:20 pmKawhi Leonard - F - Toronto Raptors
Kawhi Leonard (knee soreness) suited up for the All-Star Game on Sunday and scored 19 points on 7-of-14 shooting in 19 minutes of action in a Team LeBron win over Team Giannis.
He added five rebounds, five threes and two assists to the box score. Leonard has been in and out of the lineup for the Raptors quite a lot this season, but hopefully he can have a healthy second half of the season. If he can stay on the court, he should continue to hover around top-5 value in all formats. Expect Leonard to return for the Raptors' first game after the break ends.

HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo.—Gov. John Hickenlooper signed a bill Friday that encourages Colorado schools to be on the same radio frequency as emergency responders—the solution to a problem that plagued law enforcement during the Columbine High School shootings.
While not a requirement, the law directs fire marshals to inform schools how they can get grants and training to implement interoperable radio systems that will ease communication between law enforcement and officials inside schools during emergencies.
Many schools across Colorado use different radio systems that differ from what emergency responders use, making it difficult for authorities to communicate during a crisis. Law enforcement experienced the magnitude of the problem during the 1999 Columbine shootings, when 12 students and a teacher were killed.
"It's the 21st century. How can we possibly afford not to create full interoperability between municipalities and counties and the state, and between places where we might need those first responders like schools and hospitals?" Hickenlooper said before signing the bill at a high school in Highlands Ranch in Douglas County.
Fifteen high school and middle schools in the county have already installed communication systems that allow them to communicate with first responders after receiving at $247,500 grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Douglas County officials planned to install interoperable communication systems in all the schools in the district in the coming years.
Sen. Steve King, R-Mesa County, one of the sponsors of the legislation, said the law is meant to highlight the importance of interoperability. Fire marshals will collect information from schools, such as whether they have practiced drills for critical incidents or if they have shelters to use during lockdowns, King said.
The marshals will also ask schools if they know how to use interoperability systems. If they do not, schools will be informed about how they can get funding and training for such systems.
"This legislation helps stand up to fear, helps fight fear, helps fights push back against fear and today, it says that fear will not rule the day in our schools," King said.
He said having emergency plans and interoperability will empower school officials "so that they have the resolve to be fearless for the safety of our kids."
King said having schools and first responders on the same frequency also is important for other emergencies, like fires or a vicious dog loose on a campus.
"What this bill does, what this legislation does, is it puts order in place when there is chaos," said Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, another sponsor of the legislation.

Home opener holds special memories for Britton
SARASOTA, Fla. -- Zach Britton wasn't on the Orioles' Opening Day roster in 2011, but when Brian Matusz was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left intercostal muscle, Britton joined the team three games into the regular season just in time to run out on the orange carpet for that season's home opener.
SARASOTA, Fla. -- Zach Britton wasn't on the Orioles' Opening Day roster in 2011, but when Brian Matusz was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left intercostal muscle, Britton joined the team three games into the regular season just in time to run out on the orange carpet for that season's home opener.
Britton, who is expected to make his first official Opening Day roster this year, took a look back at that spring on a recent morning inside the home clubhouse of Ed Smith Stadium.
"I was sitting in Sarasota, Fla., eating dinner with my brother, Buck, somewhere nearby the Minor League complex at Twin Lakes Park and watching Jeremy Guthrie pitch against the Tampa Bay Rays on TV," said Britton. "I had been sent down from camp maybe three days before the team broke, and I got a text message sort of out of the blue, earlier that day from then-pitching cache Mark Connor, asking how I felt in my bullpen session. I didn't read much into it.
"I had heard Brian had some pain when he had tried to throw. So we were sitting there watching Guthrie pitch when I got a phone call from John Stockstill, who was our Minor League director. He was like, 'Hey, we are going to need you to pack your stuff up and meet the team in Tampa.' I was like, 'What? What's going on?' He said they were going to DL Matusz and I was going to start the third game of the season. Me and my brother didn't know what to do. We were like, 'Wow, this is crazy.' I called my parents, called my fiancée at the time and the next day we drove to Tampa. It was pretty special.
"The last time I had gone to Tampa, Wade Boggs had gotten his 3,000th hit. When I was little, I had sat out in the outfield and remembered that moment. It was really special to be back in Tampa. I just kept thinking, 'The last time I was here I was a little kid watching these guys play. Now I get an opportunity to be on this field.' It was really special for me and my family, and also being with the guys. [Chris Tillman] was on the field, and I got to watch him throw the game before me. Guys that I played in the Minors with, so to share that experience was really cool."
Britton made his Major League debut April 3, 2011, holding the Rays to one run over six innings. He allowed three hits and struck out six and, after picking up his first career win, boarded the plane back to Baltimore in anticipation of the team's home opener.
"That was awesome," said Britton. "[Media relations manager] Jeff Lantz told me beforehand, 'Hey, you are probably going to get a nice little ovation because you made your debut yesterday.' So we got announced and came out of center field. My dad was in the stands. He came up from Tampa, and it was awesome when my name got called. I got a great reaction from the crowd and it was nice to already have pitched the day before and to be able to relax that day and soak it all in was really neat."

Well Contestants this is the official thread to post your Cuttlefish And Corals Zoa Grow Out entries! If you post your entry in another thread it will not count. Contest begins April 20th!You have a week before and a week after to post up your picture. This competition will run 4 months!
Ground Rules: The goal of this competition is to be both educational and fun. I am hopeful the winners will be able to share their "secrets" and truly see how different lighting, supplements, dosing, and tank parameters can make a difference in growth.
Rules and Guidelines for The CNC Zoa Grow Out Competition.
1.Your first post must include a quick write up of your system in thiis competition thread. Including tank size, flow, lighting, placement of the frag, frag measurement, equipment (ie calcium reactor, dosing, etc), feeding regiment, etc.
2. You will be required to post photo updates. The contest will start April 20th. You will be required to post a photo update once a month. I will remind you of this when the time is soon to post. I know life gets busy and people go out of town so you have a 2 week window to post.You will have 7 days before the 20th and 7 days after to post your update. If you do not post within the allotted time frame you will be disqualified.
3. Please no cheating. This competition is meant to be fun and for bragging rights. Cheaters will be disqualified and banned from any future competitions.
4. The frags must remain on the original plug. You may modify the plug if needed example cutting off the stem for placement. You may place the frag anywhere you want in your tank and you may move it to a different spot during the competition but it is frowned upon and you cannot move it to a new tank as the point is to see how the frag does over time in different systems.
5. Initial photos of frags need to have a top down as well as side shot so we can all see the frag and what you are starting with. No hiding zoa polyps in your photos. Not following the rules will cause you to be disqualified, I know that sounds harsh but it is out of fairness to the rest of the group. Remember a lot can happen in 4 months. During the last growout many were DQ'd due to not posting. It's really simple. JUST DO IT. Length of competition: The competition will run for 4 months. This will give us enough time for the frag to grow. A lot can happen in 4 months and a lot of people could drop out, so if you are persistent, you have a chance to win the grand prize. This will give EVERYONE the same advantage\disadvantage with acclimation and so on. Pictures will be required frequently for updates. Final post will be July 20th 2015 for the winner.
Judging a winner: Should be pretty straight forward this grow out. The most polyps at the end wins.
But the Grand Prize is... Not going to spoil it yet, you have to play our little game here.
Our Standing List of Fine PNWMAS Contestants are...
1. Sharklover

It was a great time indeed, Erin was a great host answering all sorts of questions and his crew was not only polite but very helpful. The store was neat and clean, very open and inviting.
Stole this pic from Emerald since it was better than my store front pic.
Lots of windows make the shop bright and being well lit makes the atmosphere a bit "lighter".
The shop itself was looking spectacular, this store is locked and loaded.
As with any time we visit the TPA we gotta leave with something and this time was no exception...But we will get to that later when there is a little show and tell of some shop purchases.

I have a total of two polyps to start with...Actually I had four but I cut mine in half to make sure my friend Lex got to participate as well as I. It was my system that they got blown around in any ways. maybe they will show up...
Maybe not :(
There is 300 pounds of rock in the system as well so who know where those polyps are.

A little over a month ago there was a thread that had some mentioning of wanting to do an LPS for a grow out instead the SPS or zoanthids that had been previously done. LPS is a big category, so it took me a while thinking about it to really narrow things down. At first I wanted to do some form of favia or closed brain but those can be aggressive. Then I was tempted by the beautiful extravagant chalices that are too spendy for any one person, but those grow slower than molasses. Oh what to do...
I needed something with some color, not too hard to keep and not something too common...
A trip to The Premium Aquarium and a long chat with Garret and then Chris got me thinking straight!
I got the full run down of possible candidates and believe me there was no shortage, brains, chalices, acans, and euphyllias. But what finally got my attention and really got me thinking was this beautiful purple gonipopora. Actually there was a few purple gonis there but this one was bright purple and white, with a true flower pot look, not one of those encrusters.
This picture is with flash on, the goni in the back ground is the same just without as much warm white light from the camera. Look at those purples.
These are beauties thats for sure.
Lots of motion with these too.
When I first acquired these chunks they were slow to transition to home tank life, you know how some of those finicky gonioporas can be, but over the last few weeks they have really started to perk up. I think these are going to be a reasonably hardy variety once all is said and done.
With those fat and juicy polyps.
SO, any body here want to try their hands at another grow out contest!?
I have a feeling this one won't be quite as temperamental as the acropora, but you never know, each tank is a little different. Grand prize winner will be seeing some fine TPA corals in the end, second place through 13th will get to keep their prize purple gonis, and last places will get the intricate bleached white skeleton of their entry frag..Its a win win all around!
besides, its always a hoot to do these Grow Outs.
