.........that what I said or just I didn't make it clear the left girl is kumokowa but the other two are unknown to me. Its just that below the picture their are names so I think they are their names.
vol 19 is not the final or even a turning point or is it together with vol 18. The turning point could be 20 or rather its also the climax.
The vol 17-18 are dedicated to touma and vol 19 are for accelerator.
I'm not sure for turning point but the 20 could be the climax.

Also, how far has the author gone into depth about how magic works in To Aru? I know Index mentioned "mana", but I don't know anything beyond that. Is magic based on angels or gods?

Here's my speculation regarding espers and gemstones and magic.
Every single human in To Aru has their own specific ability that they can develop. Level Upper revealed that even level 0's with no detectable potential had their own specific type of power. Because of the enormous possibilities a person's power could be, many times people may never discover their power simply because they never considered it. Currently, the powers most celebrated in Academy City are the more obvious ones, such as control over lightning or telepathy. Think about it: if you had a power similar to Tsuchimikado's, you might never realize it until you got severely injured.
Developing your powers is extremely difficult and actually requires a lot of brain power (this is why I find "superpowers" in To Aru more convincing than other universes). If you control lightning, you actually have to study and understand the theories behind electrical activity. The seemingly simple action of sending a lightning bolt where you want to go actually has thousands of different factors. Factors such as the charge of both the target and the surrounding objects, the medium through which the lightning bolt travels and where the charge will disperse to after striking the target are required to consider. Theoretically then, every single user actually has infinite power and is only limited by how well his/her brain can multitask or the user's natural instinct.
Magic power was created by people who could not realize their power or effectively use them, whether due to the limited understanding of their power or simply never discovering their power at all. Magic is based off of asking a greater power, such as an angel, to "lend" or act upon the human world. Because magic relies on the power of another creature, the mage must not have their human/esper powers developed or else he/she cannot act as a channel for the angel's power. As a result, espers cannot use magic because the creature's power would fight with the esper's own power for control, and it would end up damaging the user's body.
Gemstones should not be assumed just to be "special espers". The details which we know actually are not enough to make assumptions. So far we know that gemstones are just people with powers who were born with them, but its much more probable that there is much more to being a gemstone than a genetic trait.
Just my speculation so far anyways. What do you think?

well so far the only known gemstone is touma, sogita and aisa.
And all of them are puzzles of their own.
Aisa has deep blood. Her aim is like a scent that attracts vampire. This proves vampire exist but had anyone seen a vampire yet? no so far right? in to aru verse? so its still questionable even if aisa said it herself. I think she just said that they are attracted to her blood and die one by one in front of me. But are they really vampire?
then touma his the most mysterious with his ability.
Then sogita. A big puzzle himself that the scientist doesn't even know of it.
And I think it can't be classified from its roots. Like kuroko being a teleporter and misaka being an electro master. His ability being super fast and has super strength or rather amazing punch. I'm not sure about the others.
Its just that those gemstone are a mystery themselves but like shmaster said their are no special esper it all comes down to if you dispersed aim then your esper if not then not.
Aisa and Sogita release AIM but not sure about Touma.
And about infinite power of the esper........... well theirs a saying if you put your mind into it then theirs nothing impossible. BUT I think their health is also a variable on their computing ability. Having a tired and unfit body will make you hard to think and focus.
About magic. Some say that magician use the power from the nature but I'm not sure about to aru because Shmaster said about the mage in to aru use powers from alienated world. Like what vent said in vol 13. About AIM and MAGIC.
Even index said that magic is created to deal with esper. Maybe its just sweet talk in the surface but the truth is its created to deal with their talented people.
And they say that mana and telesma are needed to use magic.
Then if your not using either mana and telesma and also your not releasing aim then what are you? Like touma?

And Touma's case is so simple. He doesn't release AIM and he can't use magic because IB blocks these. So simple, right?

Also, even if you are a mage, if you try to cast magic in some high AIM density area, you'll explode too. Vent was literally dying when she tries to cast magic when Fuze=Kazakiri stand right in front to her.
Also, the theory you proposed actually supports the reason why Saints, despite being "talented" can use magic. Magic do borrows power from higher beings, and the Saints are naturally born with a body that bares resemblance to a higher being (Jesus Christ, or Mary the Virgin). So, of course they can use magic if they are similiar to the very source of magic.

That's why I said the Holy Stone was angelic in nature, and not esper.
I've got it all wrong again. So the wings aren't a separate function of their AIM, but rather just an extension of their Esper ability.
Mark my words...
edit: Ah, here we go...
Now that solves alot of problems...
Espers = Science-created power (AIM) users. Talented.
Gemstones = Natural power (AIM) users. Talented.
Magicians = Magic (Telesma) users. NOT Talented.
Saints = 'Super' (Telesma) Magic users. Talented.
Then there's the issue with non-AIM producing Gemstones. There isn't a separate name for them yet.
Anyway, the AIM level of Fuze=Kazakiri isn't something that can be replicated with just 2-3 Espers. We're talking about the AIM of 9969 Misaka sisters.

I only read vol 7,13 and 14 and not finished the 14. Also I trust the software because I use it to play my games and surf the net though sometimes it literally drained my brain away.
And about Vent his not dead. That's one thing for sure. And also she got rescue by aqua while she is battling touma. And now she is in russia I think with sasha.
So those wings are really representation of those artifial angel. Well that proves some suspicions.
Poor kakine he got squash. But him being dead then the secret of accelerator and kakine will have to wait on what are those two really are.
And just being a teleporter and running your aim through a mage doesn't make their heads explode. Their are not idiots that while your touching them or near on them that they wouldn't retaliate and given they retaliate with magic. Those AIM field wouldn't even count. The sheer amount of Fuze=Kazakiri's AIM is huge to the point its the result of those nearly 10000 girls.
Then beside espers and saints. What could be other talent be?

In fact, a normal AIM can't do anything like that.
The one's that hurt Vent is the power of an Imaginary number school district that manifested by the appearance of Fuse=Kazakiri.
But that one is still incomplete. It doesn't reach a level that will negate all magic and the existence of mage and also has a confine range, It's just cause incomplete circulation of magic power which will give damage to a spell caster and reduce their power instead.

Aiwass is needed for crowley's plan to succeed but the guy is completely neutral to this. And to summon aiwass they need the AIM field. Fuze=Kazakiri is the result of the AIM field and the reason that nearly all the misaka clones are around the world are to increase the range where Aiwass can manifest himself.
And what's level 6 to begin with? level 5 are already super powered and level 6 is absolute power. But according to tree diagram the only one can achieve it is accelerator and it wouldn't be even achievable by ordinary lifespan.
Does level 6 even exist or its just another scam of crowley? knowing the real deal with the misaka clones is for someone to beat the strongest and the experiment to be stop and the clones to be distributed around the globe.

btw i heared about kakine's power a lot changing the mater and stuff anything that touches his wings is becoming "new matter" what is that new matter i mean turning stuff into something else would be possible for example asfalt into sand water into ice photons into killer ray's
can he also form subjects as well? his power is kind of mystery

turning new matter like what it says turn literally into a new type of matter.
Asphalt and sand are still know matter to earth and photons can be pretty dangerous.
The most basic will be turning the sun ray into a ray that can't be block and has no vector.
It just change the matter into a whole new one where the know laws of physics doesn't apply.
Just like a spear that can pierce through anything.
Just imagine a thing that's completely different. Where your basic knowledge doesn't apply to it. Or rather you can't define it.

WHITE PLAINS — With a final report due in December, consultants for the state's Tappan Zee Bridge Mass Transit Task Force conceded Friday that Rockland County's complaints about projected travel times are valid.
WHITE PLAINS — With a final report due in December, consultants for the state's Tappan Zee Bridge Mass Transit Task Force conceded Friday that Rockland County's complaints about projected travel times are valid.
The findings — it does take longer to get from Nyack to White Plains than to Tarrytown during most of the morning hours — throw into question whether the state can insist that all improvements to bus service in the Tappan Zee corridor be centered initially around White Plains.
The 34-person task force is focused now on the details of short-term recommendations to add several express routes to existing bus service in Rockland and Westchester to boost access to Metro-North stations and employment, shopping and entertainment centers.
Proposals such as a full-scale bus rapid transit system and a new commuter rail line that would benefit Orange County as well have been relegated to the mid- and long-term list of recommendations — 15 years or more after the new bridge opens in 2018.
Rockland, which wants a faster trip to the Metro-North station in Tarrytown, has resisted suggestions that its TappanZeExpress buses take commuters to the station in White Plains instead.
Until Friday, consultants from Arup had maintained the travel times would be the same if signal priority, ramp metering and other low-cost tweaks were made to move buses ahead of cars.
However, Trent Lethco, head of Arup's transportation planning group, said his staff, after driving back and forth through the corridor, had concluded travel times could only be equalized, to 19 minutes, before 7 a.m.
By 8 a.m., the trip to White Plains would take 29 minutes, but the trip to Tarrytown would remain at 19 minutes.
Lethco said the time was lost between the Thruway and I-287 merge at Exit 8 and White Plains, a section of the highway that offers no physical space for giving buses priority over cars, short of commandeering general traffic lanes.
In addition, Arup now believes there are at least 500 Rocklanders who drive to the Tarrytown train station, a number worth converting to the bus.
At last month's meeting, Rockland County Executive Scott Vanderhoef had objected to the evolving Westchester-centric recommendations, saying he wanted his county to come out of this exercise better off, rather than worse off.
Many of his concerns, such as the state's proposal to move buses across Rockland on Route 59 rather than the Thruway, have yet to be addressed.
Harriet Cornell, chairwoman of the Rockland County Legislature, echoed Vanderhoef's objections Friday and vowed to file a dissent to the final report if Rockland's interests remain ignored.
Cornell said the exclusion of Tarrytown as an express bus route showed "total disregard" for Rockland's dual travel markets — to Manhattan and to Westchester.
Then she called the exclusion of immediate task force support for Amtrak's proposed Gateway Tunnel and Bergen loop "an insult" to the county.
The loop would eliminate transfers at Secaucus and give Rockland and Orange commuters a one-seat ride through the new tunnel to Pennsylvania Station.
She also compared the county to an "orphan without loving parents" in terms of the shortcomings in Metro-North's west-of-Hudson train service and criticized the task force for not addressing them as part of the solution to getting people out of their cars.
"There," said Cornell in concluding, "that's from the heart."
The task force's next-to-last meeting will be held Nov. 22 at an as-yet unspecified location in Rockland County.

Wilton football beats McMahon
WILTON -- Trailing by six points to Wilton with 3:49 left in the fourth quarter, McMahon head coach AJ Albano had a decision to make with the Senators' kickoff. He could kick it away and hope his defense could stop the Warriors and get the ball back for his offense. Or he could roll the dice and try for an onside kick.
Albano gambled and lost, and so did the Senators, 35-21. Afterwards Albano stood by his decision.
"We got to stop them anyway," he said. "If they got the ball at midfield or if it was on their 20, we gotta stop them and we didn't, so it didn't matter. So I stand by my call.When you face a power-I football team, they try to wear you down for the fourth quarter, and I think we might have been just a little wore down."
McMahon (2-3) came out strong on their opening possession. During the seven-play drive, Kyle Jordan ran four times for 63 yards, including a 36-yard touchdown run. It was the first of two touchdowns on the afternoon for Jordan, who finished with 142 yards on 19 carries.
The drive included a 26-yard run from Malik Whittaker, who stepped up admirably in the absence of Trevon Forney, who missed the game with a concussion.
"We know Malik is a good football player. Even if Trey was on the field, we've been increasing his carries," Albano said."He's a good runner and he has the ability to turn nothing into something and he did that a few times."
Whittaker finished with 85 yards on 11 carries.
The final score had the two teams separated by two touchdowns, but the game was much closer than that. After a three-and-out on their first possession, Wilton(3-2) tied the score with 4:18 left in the first quarter, when quarterback Brett Phillips pump-faked to wide receiver Zack Laurinaitis and then connected with him for a 45-yard touchdown after the McMahon defender fell down.
"I did say coming in that we had to throw the ball I little more than we had," Wilton coach Bruce Cunningham said."I'm not afraid to throw it. But what we do best is the power running game."
Wilton didn't need its offense to run or pass for its second score. After McMahon's third possession of the game stalled at its own 44-yard line, Albano called for a fake punt. But a bad snap foiled the play and quickly turned disastrous, as McMahon fumbled the ball and Wilton's Griffin Bender picked it up and ran it 37 yards for a touchdown.
"It was there and we didn't execute," Albano said."We didn't even get a chance to play defense. It was a bad snap, they recovered and scored on it. That was a big play."
Two possessions later, McMahon was moving the ball and had pushed into Wilton territory. McMahon quarterback Matt Downey connected with Ryan Davis on a 10-yard pass and the Senators were at the Warriors' 38-yard line. But on third-and-long, Downey's deep pass was intercepted by Weston Wilbur.
On the ensuing possession, Wilton leaned on its power running game, with Phillips running three times for 17 yards and Mike Burns rushing twice for 23 yards, including a 15-yard touchdown that put Wilton ahead 21-7 with 1:33 left in the half.
"It was just kind of one of those games where everybody stepped up and did their jobs,"Burns said.
McMahon made the score 27-21 after Jordan scored his second touchdown on a 6-yard run in the fourth quarter. But after Wilton recovered the onside kick, they sealed the victory on a 5-yard run by Burns with just over a minute left.

Army Sgt. 1st Class Tami Hillis, American Forces Press Service
FORWARD OPERATING BASE KALSU, Iraq, Nov. 25, 2008
Construction of the Central Euphrates Farmers Market, scheduled to open in Iraqs Babil province by the end of the year, is proceeding ahead of schedule, officials said. The $3.2 million market, funded through the Commanders Emergency Response Program, will provide a central location for farmers in the northern part of the province to sell their produce.
The complex will include the main market building, which will house 31 vendor stalls and a rest area. Compressors and thermostats will maintain a proper temperature in cold-storage units being built from bricks, reinforced concrete and insulation materials. Support unit facilities will include a meeting and training room, rest rooms, guard houses, a supply room and a truck driving room. The parking lot will accommodate 120 vehicles in addition to 10 reserved spaces.
The leaders of the agriculture associations in Jiff Jaffa, Haq, Muelha and Diyarah are responsible for bringing the idea of the project to life, officials said.
When construction is complete, the facility will be owned, operated and maintained by the four agricultural associations. The associations bought the land for the complex, enabling them to become a certified nongovernmental organization. The organization will form a management board to manage and operate the complex.
When this market and agricultural center complex is completed, it will benefit all of the citizens of this area, said Army Col. Thomas James, commander of the 3rd Infantry Divisions 4th Brigade Combat Team. The building of this facility will stimulate economic activity in a peaceful and secure environment that has been created by the Iraqi security forces and civilian leaders who were tired of violence and insecurity.

As Davidson County Commissioner Fred McClure put it simply last week, the county's finance department always gets the job done.
As Davidson County Commissioner Fred McClure put it simply last week, the county's finance department always gets the job done.
That statement, which came during a regular meeting of the board of commissioners, underscored the department's quarter-century streak of receiving the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting.
The Davidson County Finance Department has received the award, presented by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada, for 25 straight years.
"We have to account for all the financial transactions of the county, and it's important that everything is accounted for correctly," finance department director Jane Kiker said this week.
The award, which was presented to the county for its comprehensive annual financial report, is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting.
"We have to make sure we include any new reporting standards," Kiker said, adding that staff also has to make sure changes are performed correctly.
The comprehensive annual financial report is judged by an impartial panel, to ensure standards of the program are being met in the "spirit of full disclosure," according to a news release from the GFOA.
The Davidson County Finance Department handles all financial operations of the county, including accounting, payment of invoices, investment of idle funds, payroll processing and the recording of the county's assets and liabilities, according to its website.
The department also provides financial information to internal and external users and carries out financial policies and procedures of the county. In addition to compiling the comprehensive annual financial report, the department also assists independent auditors as part of the annual audit.

What Can I Eat That is Gluten-Free?
Even though going gluten-free can be difficult, you still have many food choices!
Focus on eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy products (those that do not have gluten-containing additives), beans, eggs, nuts, and lean meat, poultry, and fish.
There are still many healthy whole grains and starchy carbohydrate foods to choose from that do not contain gluten:
- Amaranth
- Arrowroot
- Beans (kidney, black, soy, navy, pinto, etc.)
- Buckwheat
- Corn and pure corn tortillas)
- Flax
- Gluten-free baked products (made from corn, rice, soy, nut, teff and/or potato flour)
- Kasha
- Millet
- Polenta
- Potatoes and sweet potatoes
- Quinoa
- Rice (brown or wild rice is best)
- Sorghum
- Soy
- Tapioca
Keep Following Your Meal Plan
It is still very important for those who follow a gluten-free diet to count their carbs and take insulin/medications in balance with their carbs. Continue to follow your diabetes meal plan but replace foods that have gluten with other healthy carbohydrate sources.
Be aware that some gluten-free products that you buy in the store will have a different amount of carbohydrate than the usual product. For example, a piece of gluten-free bread is usually higher in carbohydrate than whole wheat bread. It is very important to check the serving size and the number of carbs in each serving size.
Next: Gluten-Free Meal Ideas
You can find resources and organizations that deal specifically with gluten-free issues by searching for "gluten-free" or "celiac disease" in your favorite search engine.

Complications of
peptic ulcer may include bleeding, perforation,
penetration, or obstruction.
Peptic ulcers sometimes bleed.
If you are vomiting blood and/or material that looks like coffee
grounds, or if you have stools that are black, look like tar, or are maroon or bloody, see a doctor immediately. The chances of successfully treating your
ulcer are best if you see a doctor when you first notice any bleeding.
Perforation occurs when an ulcer eats through the wall of the
stomach or intestine into the abdominal (belly) cavity.

Paris – April 16, 2014 – Valeo today named the 20 teams shortlisted by its experts to compete in the second round of the Group's global innovation challenge.
The participating teams represent thirteen countries around the world: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Mexico, Poland, the United States and Spain.
A large number of unique, innovative project submissions, some of very high quality, have been reviewed by Valeo's experts. These technical solutions are illustrative of each country's specific societal concerns. For example, the Indian engineering students are taking up the issue of road safety, while the emphasis for the Mexican contingent seems to be individual safety and security. The European students, like their North American peers, are more concerned about reducing CO2 emissions and creating a smart, connected and autonomous vehicle. Across the board, they are working to make the car of 2030 a cleaner, safer and more enjoyable ride.
The shortlisted teams now have until August 29, 2014 to develop a working prototype of their project using €5,000 in funding appropriated to each of them by Valeo. Six finalists will then be selected to present their project to the jury at the 2014 Paris Motor Show in October 2014.
Comprised of Valeo experts and outside partners, the jury will be chaired by Valeo CEO Jacques Aschenbroich. The winning team will take home a €100,000 prize and the second and third-place teams will each receive €10,000.
Launched by Valeo in September 2013, the Valeo Innovation Challenge is a global contest open to engineering students around the world, invited to play an active role in automotive innovation by designing the product or system that will create smarter, more intuitive cars by 2030.
Nearly 1,000 teams from 55 countries signed up for a chance to propose and develop daring solutions that will revolutionize the car of the future.
In 2013, for the second consecutive year, Valeo was featured in Thomson Reuters' Top 100 Global Innovators ranking, reflecting the Group's commitment to innovation.
Most of the Group's research and development programs are focused on the design of technologies that reduce motor vehicle carbon emissions and promote intuitive driving. The company ranks among the leading patent filers in France and dedicates around 10% of its original-equipment revenue to innovation. With close to 9,000 researchers in 16 research centers and 35 development centers around the world, Valeo has developed an array of innovative products and technologies that represent more than 30% of orders.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, Survey of Current Business (November 2002), service businesses contribute to over three-fourths of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product. In the Florida Atlantic University's proximal service area of Southeast Florida, service firms in industries such as health, tourism, restaurant and entertainment, finance, real estate, and transportation have especially contributed to economic development and high standards of customer service. Given this high presence of service businesses in the area, the Center for Services Marketing & Management's mission is to be the leading academic and training center for the development and dissemination of knowledge in the field of services marketing. The Center's current areas of focus include:
The Center is commitment to encouraging academic research and scholarship in the field of services marketing and management. At the same time, the Center's goals include educating FAU faculty and students on the various critical and topical issues in services marketing and management and serving the training and workforce development needs of area businesses.

Six teams have Rivas.
It may not affect anything in the end, probably.
Or it might somehow trigger a chain of events that
changes the course of Western civilization.
I hope Mark fixes it, just in case.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
Hominidae refers to the family that includes the great apes and humans. There are seven extant species in four genera: orangutans (2 species in genus Pongo), gorillas (2 species in genus Gorilla), chimpanzees (2 species in genus Pan) and humans (genus Homo). All members are relatively large compared to other primate species, and have long arms, short legs and no tail, and all but the orangutans live mostly on the ground. The Hominidae is thought to have diverged from the gibbons (the lesser apes, family Hylobatidae) about 15-20 million years ago.
Before our present understanding of great ape relationships, humans were separated out in their own family, Hominidae, and the other great apes (orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees) made up a separate family, the Pongidae. Over the years between the 1960-1990, especially once immunological and molecular methods were employed to investigate great ape phylogeny, the taxonomy was revised to reflect the understanding that chimpanzees are the sister taxon to humans. These methods also resolved Gorilla as the closest relative to the Homo-Pan clade, with three genera together composing the Homininae. The now-paraphyletic term Pongidae is no longer used; however, as a relic of the initial classification separating non-human great apes, humans and their extinct bipedal relatives are still often (confusingly) referred to as hominids.

text: RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) - Harvest is underway in Northwest apple orchards, and some growers are expecting a bumper crop. The Washington apple crop is estimated at 4.8 billion pounds this year, second only to last year's crop. Northwest apple experts say the recent growth is due to newer, much denser plantings. More farmers are turning to newer, premium varieties to earn profits, and they're excited about a new variety not yet available in stores. WA 38 is being developed at Washington State University. It won't be planted commercially until 2016, but lead researcher Kate Evans says the apple is very crisp and extremely juicy, with a lot of sweetness and good tangy, apple acidity.

As the title asks; How to determine if Image inside Listbox is visible?
My listbox is binded to List<MyImageList> variable. MyImageList class contains an ImageSource(BitmapImage) and a string.
Somewhere in my application i want to check if the Image in the list item is visible in my listbox viewport to perform additional operation, the problem is i dont know how.
I found a tutorial on how to do this in ScrollViewer

Rebels game
called in 4th
ANDOVER — The Newton Rebels got off to the start they wanted in the first game of a doubleheader against the Kansas Cannons in Andover, but Mother Nature did not cooperate.
Newton took a 4-0 lead into the bottom of the fourth, where the game was suspended because of rain.
In the first inning, Trent Brisboe singled, went to second on a wild pitch and scored on a Cooper Langley single. In the second inning, Justin Harris hit a two-run triple and came home on a Toby Cornejo single.
The Cannons put two runners on base with no outs in the bottom of the fourth when the game was called.
Seth Marlar allowed just three hits with no walks as the game was called.
No make-up date has been set. Saturday's game against the Park City Rangers also has been postponed. It will be made up July 5 in Newton as part of a doubleheader.
Newton plays the North Central Knights in a twinbill at 5 p.m. Sunday at Dean Evans Stadium in Salina.

Sporting KC
recalls Dwyer
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Sporting Kansas City recalled forward Dom Dwyer from his loan to USL PRO affiliate Orlando City Soccer Club on Thursday after a productive first half of the season.
Dwyer will be available for Saturday's game against the Columbus Crew.
"I feel confident that anywhere I am that I can score goals," said Dwyer, a production of Generation adidas. "So I'm excited to help out at Sporting KC and thank them for drafting me in the first round of last year's draft and for giving me this opportunity."
Dwyer appeared in two MLS games as a rookie last season, but was loaned out along with three others to Orlando City in March. Together, they've helped the Lions to a 10-1-2 record midway through the season.
"We are always aware of the loan agreement that they could call him up," Orlando City coach Adrian Heath said. "We respect that decision and it's something we knew that could happen.
"He's a great kid to have around with a great personality," Heath said, "but we are going to continue on with our season. It's time for one or two players to step up and continue that goal scoring."
The 22-year-old Dwyer scored 18 goals in all competitions for the Lions, including a record 15 in 13 league games. He scored three goals in Orlando City's surprising run to the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals and recently scored in a friendly against Brazilian champion Fluminense FC.
"Dom has been very productive and in good form with our USL PRO affiliate," Sporting KC coach Peter Vermes said, "and we hope he can continue that same form back in Kansas City."
Wedgewood Men
1. Don Yoder, Rick Tolin, Joe Ryan, Bob Schmidt -4.
2. Jim Merry, Jim Linsner, Larry Smith, Bill Wilson -4.
3. Bob Wilson, Sam Griffin, Wil Besore, Steve Seirer -3.
Closest to pin 3 — Jim Linsner. Closest to pin 9 on second shot — Orin Schrag.
Next play — 9 a.m. Thursday.

Rear Upper Control Arm Bushing Kit | Accord 90-97
A control arm bushing plays a vital role in a suspension. Replace those faulty O.E. rubber bushings with Prothane's polyurethane control arm bushings. These polyurethane bushing provide the longevity and performance needed to maximize a suspension's efficiency.
Prothane's polyurethane is a firmer bushing than the O.E. Not only does this increase the longevity of the bushing, but gives the suspension a boost in handling performance. With a firmer bushing there will be a slight increase in NVH (noise, vibration and harshness), but most drivers prefer the boost in performance in spite of that.
As your suspension travels, a rubber control arm bushing is repeatedly stretching and flexing. After a while, the center sleeve begins to sag and your suspension alignment is throw out of whack. The sagging will go on until the rubber fails completely.
Control arm bushings are a high stress part, so be sure to use the supplied Prothane's Super Grease to lubricate the bushings during installation. Its super important that you lubricate each bushing well to prevent any squeaking. If you'd like some extra grease just in case, pick up an extra 3 pack.
Very impressed with the new bushings.
5 out of 5
Prothane makes bushings in both colors. But is there a difference in them? Is one harder than the other? There are a lot of misconceptions about the color difference in Prothane's bushings, so let us at DST clear that up for you.
Aside from the actual color, there isn't really a difference at all between the red and the black. They are the same durometer, or hardness, so they will perform the same and both should last the life of your vehicle.
The black bushings do have a small amount of graphite mixed in with the polyurethane which has the potential to help with squeaking. But really, the best way to prevent Prothane bushings from squeaking is to use the supplied pre-lube and grease them properly at install. So whether you choose the red, or the black, just be sure to grease them properly to avoid any squeaking.
Prothane - In Stock in Black Only
This part is currently only in stock in Black. However we can have the part shipped directly to you from the manufacturer Prothane in the color Red if you would like. Special orders from Prothane typically arrive within 2 weeks.
We will pay all special order fees. Purchasing a special order part will not cost you any more than if we had stocked it.

In Dante's Divine Comedy, the towers of Monteriggioni evoked the giants that encircled the abyss of hell. At night the towers and walls are lit up by a beautiful golden light that makes this city appear as if it is floating above the surrounding valley.
San Gimignano - This is another little medieval jewel known for the 72 towers that were built to defend the city and for the sweetness of its typical wine, "Vernaccia di San Gimignano". When there, visit the Museum of Torture and the Torre Grossa, one of the highest towers of the city, located in Piazza del Duomo.
Lucca - Important centre of the ancient Via Francigena, that connected Canterbury and Rome, Lucca was virtually the capital of Tuscany during the collapse of the Roman Empire. The Renaissance walls of the city are one of the best preserved throughout Europe. When there visit the Roman Amphitheatre which dates back to the II century A.C.
Vinci – The birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci hosts a beautiful museum devoted to the Renaissance artist that is one of the most visited in Tuscany. Inside the Castle Of Conti Guidi, a marvellous medieval fortress dating back to the XI century, the museum contains an invaluable collection of Leonardo's inventions.

Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn (Dutch, Leiden 1606 - 1669 Amsterdam)
Landscape with Three Gabled Cottages beside a Road, ca. 1650
Signed and dated in the plate, lower left: Rembrandt f 1650
Plate: 6 5/16 x 8 in. (16.1 x 20.3 cm)
Sheet: 6 11/16 x 8 7/16 in. (17.0 x 21.4 cm)
Etching and drypoint

Many of Rembrandt's landscape etchings depict simple farmhouses and cottages engulfed by trees, within a typically flat, rural setting. The elusive effects of weather and atmosphere are enhanced through the use of varied printmaking techniques; here, drypoint accents create rich, dark shadows.
Rembrandt produced landscape etchings from about 1640 to 1652. Although he also created imaginary landscapes, town views, river scenes, and panoramas, the farmhouses and cottages indigenous to the Dutch countryside are the most common subject in his landscape prints. The farm buildings depicted in this print are the traditional Dutch langhuis (literally, long house): thatch-roofed, wooden structures that combine living areas with stable and barn.1
Landscape with Three Gabled Cottages beside a Road represents Rembrandt's most mature treatment of a theme he explored in numerous landscape drawings and prints during this period: a view down a road lined with cottages. Here, the powerful diagonals of the road and the upper contours of the houses and trees converge in a dramatic sweep towards the distant horizon; the spatial recession is emphasized by the imposing height of the tree in the foreground. In composing his etching, Rembrandt was not attempting a precise topographical record, but a tightly organized pictorial construction. A pen drawing by the artist from about 1648-50 (Berlin, Kupferstichkabinett; Benesch no. 835) may represent the same site as the etching, but is not necessarily a preparatory study for it.2 Aside from certain compositional differences, the drawing places a greater emphasis on the atmospheric effects of wind, and individual forms are more summarily drawn
In his landscape prints, Rembrandt "mastered an increasingly complex combination of techniques as he sought the most effective means to evoke spatial recession and atmospheric effects of the outdoors."3 Landscape with Three Cottages is the first landscape etching in which Rembrandt made extensive use of drypoint; here, the technique is used most strikingly to create the blurred, dark accents in the tree at the right. He apparently first lightly etched the tree, then substantially and dramatically altered its appearance with the bold addition of these drypoint lines. Traces of an earlier stage in the evolution of the image are faintly visible in the sky just below the dead branch of the tree, where there are some imperfectly burnished-out remnants of delicately etched foliage. Landscape with Three Cottages is known in three states; minor changes in the second and third states add shading to the foreground, to the roofs of the cottages, and the side wall of the first cottage to create greater visual unity with the dense black areas of drypoint.
M. E. Wieseman
Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn was born in Leiden in 1606. After training briefly with Jacob van Swanenburg (ca. 1571-1638) and with Pieter Lastman (1583-1633) in Amsterdam, he was working as an independent master in Leiden by 1625. The artist settled permanently in Amsterdam in 1631/2. He quickly established himself as the leading portraitist in the city, infusing the genre with an unprecedented vivacity. By the 1640s Rembrandt focused more on religious subjects and landscapes; his style became less flamboyant and more introspective. His late works are remarkable for their depth and range of emotion, which is matched by a complete expressive mastery of technique. Rembrandt was not only a sublime painter, but also a prodigious draftsman and uniquely gifted etcher. In all media, he experimented continually with new techniques and visual effects, and with new approaches to traditional subject matter. Rembrandt also had a profound impact as a teacher, training dozens of artists in his atelier, including Ferdinand Bol (1616-1680), Gerrit Dou (1613-1675), Arent de Gelder (1645-1727), Nicolaas Maes (1634-1693), and Philips Koninck.

About the Book
Rick Stasel's photography grows out of a philosophy of the serendipitous. Here the accidental, unplanned, unexpected, and unforeseen give rise to that chance encounter with the fortuitous and often miraculous photograph. Time and again, Rick has arranged a lucky handshake between his camera and his subject matter, where the skill of arranging perspective on angles of light and shadows elicits beauty and facilitates the emergence of something brilliantly symbolic. There is a depth to the photographs in this book, a meaning beyond coincidence, yet found coincidentally and often with uncanny relevance to spirituality. Hence we find traditional metaphors, such as bridges signifying a passage to new possibilities, or the sun signifying a blinding enlightenment, or the birds and the bees, lighthouses, mountains, and more alongside new metaphors such as modern transportation, highways, and the creative possibilities in arranging bricks. This book has been divided into three parts, reaching out to the horizon's edge on the Oregon coast, reaching into the heartland of Oregon around the Columbia River Gorge, and concluding at home in Portland. Rick designed the arrangement of photos here, an arrangement that highlights certain aspects of the images, while making new connections that hint at the inter-connectedness of one's entire universe. These images reveal much thought and reflection, even while arising from the spontaneity allowed by modern digital photography.

sebastien182 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 12 designs submitted by 4 freelance designers.
I want the theme of my website to be portrayed in the logo. Our target traffic will be recreational poker players from California so we want want our logo to be fun and memorable.
The Logo should read Pokerfornia and not be all letters. I like the idea of having some letters taylored to the theme. For example, the P could be a palm tree and the O a poker chip.
(BTW, no monkeys on the trees, thx ;-))
You're probably wondering about the quake part. I want some earthquake crack lines coming out of the logo downwards to the main navigation bar and looking right at the reader. The lines shouldn't be too accentuated as the focus should remain on the pokerfornia letters. The lines should empasize the logo. I have provided a direct link to my website in the brief so you can figure out how this would all fit together.
Concerning lighting, it would be interesting to have the source at the top left of the first letter (or tree) showering down on the other letters and the earthquake cracks. I want the visitors to feel the "power" coming out from my logo :-)
I am currently using the Revolution logo from the Wordpress Revolution Pro Media Theme (custom designed by Brian Gardner). I love the way that his default logo looks. One of the main requirements for your logo will be that it blends right into my page (from a color perspective). I don't want something with a white background that looks like it was pasted.
Please visit my website which is still under construction to see the overall theme and layout: http://pokerfornia.com
I want you to have fun with this project as a requirement and you will get bonus points for originality. I may have some later work for the person I chose so keep this as an incentive. I will also give you personal credit for the logo design in my website with a link to your business.
The rating scheme will be as follows:
1 star - long distance call from awesome town
2 stars - needs more awesome
3 stars - has awesome potential
4 stars - wowed me with awesome
5 stars - beauty. contender for the awesome prize.
- something that blends in with the existing theme
- something that is fun, stylish and memorable
- Something that says click me when I will use this logo as a signature in forums
- Something that hooks people
- Logo letters need to be close to the same size as the ones on the revolution logo. However you are encouraged to expand the size of the gif file for the logo. You can use the same color scheme if you want or try something different.
- I don't want all standard letters. Some letters should be graphics, like a tree with monkeys on top (oh wait, no monkeys ;-)).
- no rainbows, lol.
- earthquake cracks should be black
- The letters should not be shaking or be blurry because of the earthquake dynamic. They should be crisp and readable, although I like the idea of one or two letters having a motion effect.
- I don't want something that looks like it was pasted or came from an other planet when added to the beautiful revolution pro media theme by Brian.

Roll directly on this generously sized surface. 3" x 5" Rolling Frames fit on the shoulders for a perfect rolling surfaceUsing our Rollable Texture Tile to create a textured slab of metal clay is easy! First spritz the Texture Tile with Cool Slip so it releases cleanly from the texture. Decide how thick you want the final clay slab and how deep you want the texture. Let's imagine making a slab 5 cards thick with a very shallow texture depth of 1 card. Start by rolling an untextured slab that is 6 cards thick.
Place the #6 Rolling Frame on your Clayboard or other rolling surface and put a lump of clay in the opening of the frame. Roll out the slab the size and shape you desire. Place the #5 Rolling Frame on the Rollable Texture Tile. Place the 6-cards thick untextured slab in the middle. Roll it flat. It doesn't matter how many times you roll or from which direction, as long as the end product is flat. The starting thickness of the clay is what makes the difference in getting the texture depth you want. If you want a deeper texture, start with a thicker slab.
To determine the slab thickness you need, decide how thick you want your final product. Add to that the number of cards deep you want the texture. The answer is the slab thickness you should start with. For instance, in our example above we wanted a 5-card thick slab in the end. We also wanted 1 card thickness of texture. Add those numbers together and that tells you to start with slab that is 6 cards thick.
Another thing to keep in mind in deciding how thick your slab should be is how thick you want the floor of the texture. The floor is the base of the clay, and the texture is the part that is raised above the floor. If you have a very deep texture and the floor is thin, it may warp or tear during firing and could be weak enough to break during wear or use. For very deep textures or textures that leave a lot of exposed floor (the very bottom of the slab), you may want to start with a thicker slab to give enough floor for strength.
Here's another way to think about this that will help you visualize it. When you press a slab of clay into a texture. Some of the clay is displaced as it forms around the texture. Imagine a slab that is 6 cards thick. If you texture it to a depth of 5 cards, that means there are places where there is only a thickness of 1 card of clay left, so the floor is only 1 card thick. Whether that's good or bad depends on the texture and the individual piece that is being made, but it's something that should be considered when decided how thick the clay and texture should be.

During his stay in Berlin in 1764, Boswell lived in the house of Karl David Kircheisen, the president of the Berlin city council.
Archibald James Edward Douglas - heir to Douglas
Archibald James Edward DouglasBorn Jul 10, 1748 in Paris, France
Died Dec 26, 1827
Born A.J.E. Stewart. Son of Sir John Stewart and Lady Jane Douglas, daughter of James, 2nd Marquis of Douglas. 1st Baron Douglas of Douglas (cr. 1790). Married first (1771) to Lady Lucy Graham (1751-1780) and secondly (1783) to Lady Frances Scott (1750-1817). He had 9 children (5 boys, 4 girls, most of whom reached old age).
In 1767 he lost a much publicised court case concerning the rights to the Douglas estates. His opponent, the Duke of Hamilton, claimed that Stewart was not the son of Lady Jane Douglas, and thus was not the rightful heir to the Douglas estates. In February 1769 the House of Lords reversed the decision.
He received his pre-university education at Westminster School in the early 1760s; philosopher Jeremy Bentham was also born in 1748 and attended the school at the same time. Douglas became MP for Forfarshire (1782-1790) and Lord Lieutenant for Forfarshire (1794-1827).
Life with Boswell:
First mention of Douglas in Boswell's journals is in Boswell's London Journal 1762-1763 on November 30, 1762 when Boswell had lunch with then schoolboys Douglas of Douglas and George Douglas, son of Andrew Douglas (both attending Westminster School).
Later on, Boswell became much engaged in the court battle known as the "Douglas Cause" which Douglas finally won in 1769, making him the legal heir to the Douglas estates.
The "Douglas Cause" received so widespread public attention at the time, that transcripts, depositions and other material relating in some way or another to the case was published. Some of this material are available via AbeBooks.com under names such as "The Douglas Cause, Case of the Respondents, The Duke of Hamilton and Brandon, Marquis of Douglas Etc., Lord Douglas Hamilton, and Their Guardians, Sir Hew Dalrymple, Etc." and "Memorial for George-James Duke of Hamilton. Against the Person Pretending to be Archibald Stewart". Searching for keywords "douglas cause" and the years 1767, 1768 and 1769 should yield some results.
Boswell himself wrote the novel "Dorando, a Spanish Tale", which was a thinly disguised defense for Stewart's case.

Streak-busting Bulls head to Toronto
The Chicago Bulls aim to keep their hold on the Eastern Conference's fifth seed when they head north of the border in an attempt to avoid a second loss to the lottery-bound Toronto Raptors this week.
Back on Tuesday in Chicago, the Raptors DeMar DeRozan netted 20 points and Rudy Gay added 19 and six rebounds as Toronto escaped the Second City with a 101-98 win over the short-handed Bulls.
Kyle Lowry finished with 13 points and 10 assists for the Raptors, who snapped a five-game skid against Chicago and have won three of their last four games overall.
"The guys came up and showed some fight," Raptors head coach Dwane Casey said.
Jimmy Butler registered 28 points and seven boards for Chicago, which played without stalwarts Joakim Noah, Luol Deng and Taj Gibson. The Bulls have also been without former MVP Derrick Rose as he continues to rehab from ACL injury suffered in last season's playoffs against Philadelphia
Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau didn't use that as a crutch, however.
"We have to be a lot tougher mentally," the tough-minded mentor said.
Chicago rebounded on Thursday when Nate Robinson scored a season-high 35 points and nailed five 3-pointers to lead six Bulls players in double figures as Chicago ended the New York Knicks' 13-game winning streak with a 118-111 overtime victory on Thursday at the Madhouse on Madison.
Jimmy Butler and Carlos Boozer each recorded double-doubles with 22 points and 14 rebounds and 13 points and 15 boards, respectively, for the Bulls, who became the second team to snap two 13-plus game winning streaks in the same season (The Phoenix Suns also did it in 1990-91).
Chicago also ended the Miami Heat's impressive 27-game win streak on March 27.
"The switch went on and he took the game over," Boozer said of Robinson's play.
Deng, who had missed the previous two games due to injury, supplied 16 points and eight rebounds, while Richard Hamilton and Kirk Hinrich had 14 and 11 points, respectively, in the victory.
On the injury front Toronto big man Jonas Valanciunas left the game in Chicago with a neck injury after colliding with Gay in the waning seconds but was able to practice Thursday although he is doubtful for tonight's contest.
For Chicago, Noah (plantar fasciitis in right foot) and Gibson (sprained left knee) will likely continue to sit with the postseason in mind.
The Bulls are currently one-half game ahead of Atlanta for the No. 5 seed in the East with just four games to play in the regular season.
Chicago has won eight of 10 overall against the Dinos and four of five north of the border.

Bette was known for her quick wit and generous heart. She loved to travel and was always interested in meeting new people and learning new things. She was very active as a volunteer and spent many hours exercising and swimming.
The family would like to thank the staff at Linden Heights and Hospice Advantage for their wonderful care, and her good friends Rita Bibeau and Ginny Monaghan for their years of friendship.
According to her wishes, her body was donated to the Medical College of Wisconsin.
A celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
Donations to St. Joseph Parish in Waukesha and Hospice Advantage in Pewaukee are appreciated.
