SAN DIEGO (AP) For four innings, San Diego Padres rookie Luis Perdomo kept the Los Angeles Dodgers at bay as the game stretched deep into extra innings.
All San Diego needed was to score a run for what would have been a third straight walk-off win.
It didn't happen, and the Dodgers finally caught up to Perdomo. Yasiel Puig hit a tiebreaking, two-run single with the bases loaded and one out in the 17th inning and the Dodgers beat the Padres 9-5 on Sunday to snap a four-game losing streak.
The game started in afternoon sunshine and ended at dusk, taking 5 hours, 47 minutes.
Perdomo (1-1) was the hard-luck loser after pitching five innings.
"He pitched really, really well," manager Andy Green said. "He didn't deserve that fate. I would've been nice if we had scratched one across.
"I thought he was excellent. That's a really tough gig for a young guy to come in. I couldn't be more pleased with him today."
The Dodgers started the four-run rally when Howie Kendrick hit a leadoff double that bounced over the wall in right-center field. Adrian Gonzalez was intentionally walked and reliever Ross Stripling advanced them with a groundout. Joc Pederson was intentionally walked to load the bases, and then Puig singled up the middle. Pederson scored on a wild pitch and Carl Crawford hit an RBI grounder.
"I was just attacking hitters," Perdomo said. "In my first start I wasn't attacking guys but today I was. Between now and then I've focused on calming down and controlling my adrenaline a little more."
Stripling (2-3), scheduled to start Tuesday night against Cincinnati, pitched three innings for the win.
The Padres won Friday night on a ninth-inning homer from Melvin Upton Jr. and on Saturday night with Yangervis Solarte's game-ending walk in the 11th.
"We were on the cusp of sweeping the Dodgers today," Green said. "We had the opportunity. It stings to let that slip away."
The Dodgers loaded the bases in the 14th and failed to score. They used Clayton Kershaw as a pinch-hitter in the 15th.
The Dodgers might have scored the go-ahead run in the ninth if not for a baserunning blunder by Puig, who hit a leadoff single against Fernando Rodney and took second on a wild pitch. A.J. Ellis bunted, but Puig didn't take third, even though it was open because Solarte fielded the bunt. Ellis raised his arms in frustration after seeing that Puig didn't advance. Crawford lifted a fly ball to shallow left that might have brought in Puig.
Plate umpire David Rackley left the game in the fifth after getting hit in the groin by a foul bunt attempt by Pederson. Rackley collapsed, was down for about 5 minutes and was tended to by a Padres trainer. He had to be helped to his feet before leaving the field under his own power. Rackley handed a ball to a kid on his way to the tunnel.
Alfonso Marquez went into the umpires' room to change into his gear and moved from second base to the plate. The game resumed after a 15-minute delay.
The Dodgers erased a 4-0 deficit, getting a tying homer from Justin Turner in the seventh and then a shot from Howie Kendrick leading off the eighth for a 5-4 lead.
The Padres tied it in the eighth on Upton Jr.'s RBI triple to right-center off Kenley Jansen, with the ball sailing just past the outstretched glove of Pederson in center. That brought in Wil Myers, aboard on a leadoff walk.
The Padres jumped on Kenta Maeda for four runs on four hits in the sixth inning, including Myer's three-run triple that got by diving right fielder Puig. Christian Bethancourt had an RBI single.
L.A. got three of those runs back in the sixth in chasing starter Colin Rea. Corey Seager and Adrian Gonzalez hit RBI singles and another run scored on a wild pitch.
Maeda allowed four runs and four hits in five innings, struck out five and walked one.
Rea allowed three runs and three hits in five-plus, struck out three and walked two.
Dodgers: LHP Clayton Kershaw (6-1, 1.57) is scheduled to start the opener of a three-game home series against Cincinnati, which will counter with LHP Brandon Finnegan (1-2, 4.44).
Padres: LHP Drew Pomeranz (4-4, 1.96) will pitch Monday night's opener in a three-game series at San Francisco against Johnny Cueto (6-1, 2.70). The Giants swept the Padres last week for the second time this season.

Agnes Cafe, Ventnor, New Jersey, American Spirit
Experience with agency American Spirit was positive.
Very friendly and active communication during their stay in America. Fortunately , communication was purely for information , since I spent my time in the USA without any problems.
Experience with location Ventnor, New Jersey was positive.
Great possibility of finding another job , especially in the hospitality industry . Ventnor City is a suburb of Atlantic City, It is there right one next to another, literally from one street begins Ventor . Ventnor City is much more peaceful settlement of Atlatnic City. There are plenty of small , mostly family restaurant where you can earn nice . As far as the Atlantic City, a lot of opportunities to work due to casinos , restaurants , promenade by the ocean . There is outlet in which you can also find a job , but I was just buying there. Now , there are parts of the city in which it is literally ghetto and that does not go at all , but this is America . The beach is usually at 5-10 minutes walk , beautifully decorated. The city is a tourist place but live in the winter , unlike other parts of America where people are going to W & T. You earn, you get out, spend . Or just work and sleep , stay full of money but spend it on travel or back to Serbia.
Experience with employer Agnes Cafe
was positive.
Hours: 2.2 Number of hours per week: 40 Average tip (week): 300 Receiving orders and serving food and drinks. The first job was Agnes Cafe. There I worked as a server, and then only because it was my second time in America (hardly anyone was in the first year in America working as a server - with some exceptions). The restaurant is a family; Polish woman who was on the W & T xy years ago,got married, stayed in the USA and here now she has restaurant. The restaurant only serves breakfast and is open from 7-14h. Specific to this restaurant is that the orders are taken via the iPad and go directly to the kitchen. On the iPad is the entire menu and you literally just click example. how many eggs in what way, what kind of bread and so on. Brutal, the first time I met with that. This way of taking orders lot easier operation, but also does not help when you unconsciously make the mistake of clicking on something else while the device incorrectly cooks for you. It happens: D You card and billing is done through the iPad. The second job was at Buddakan restaurant, part of the chain Starr Restaurant which serves Asian-fusion food. The restaurant is "fine dining," where the good money and where management has a real example of what is taught in schools. There I worked as a bar back. An interesting work that is heavy work mainly on weekends (glass washing and restore clean glasses, topping bar), while on weekdays as well as the bartender, because you're in a bar with him. And in one and in another job positive atmosphere.
This review represents personal opinion of Petar Sadzakov who was participating Work & Travel program in year of 2015 with agency American Spirit, working at Agnes Cafe in Ventnor, New Jersey.

Our theme, "art beyond ART," was inspired by our discovery that the Art Institute of Chicago's serious institutional recognition of photography does not date back very far. In fact, one of its photography collection's early champions, David Travis, is still an active photographer here in Chicago. We wanted to examine how photography, performance art, intuitive/outsider art, new media art, and other innovative forms have gained (or are gaining) recognition by universities, museums, and other powerful institutions.
We begin with a conversation between photographer David Travis and Rebecca Memoli. Travis talks about how the Art Institute's photography department took shape as well as his own recent output. Art historian Kelli Wood is next with a polemical essay about the evolution of video games and their presentation in museum settings. She argues that false, ideologically motivated dichotomies between art and technology have distorted our perception of video games as art objects with independent aesthetic value.
Complementary articles from Noa/h Fields and Phillip Barcio take on Chicago's fertile performance art scene. Fields reflects on the condition of performance art in the city, noting a "backwards-glanced turn" toward past summits of achievement. Barcio introduces us to John Thomure, a young performance artist who discovered the work of the late Lawrence Steger while browsing the stacks at the Logan Square Branch of the Chicago Public Library. Thomure uncovers the grassroots history of that form in Chicago while attempting to complete Steger's unfinished ninth piece.
Photographer Lauren Whitney documents the House of Tomorrow in Beverly Shores, Indiana. Built for the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, this historic structure, which was the United States' first glass house, has fallen into disrepair. Our editor-in-chief, Michel Ségard, reviews EXPO Chicago.
Our Detroit correspondent, K.A. Letts, analyzes street art and avant-garde digital work with the help of Marshall McLuhan's media theories. In southeastern Wisconsin, Ann Sinfield reviews several shows at the Racine Art Museum that focus on the seminal 1969 "OBJECTS: USA" show, which helped put craft media on the map.
Emelia Lehmann, meanwhile, considers an exhibition honoring the legacy of outsider/intuitive visual artist and punk rocker Wesley Willis. She also speaks with T. Paul Young, the Illinois Institute of Technology architecture prof (and former cigar gofer to Mies van der Rohe) who mentored a young Willis. Finally, Evan Carter reviews Wrightwood 659's show of Tetsuya Ishida's surrealistic paintings. While he sees much to critique in Ishida's approach, Ishida's early death by suicide leaves him and us to wonder how the artist could have pushed past his own limits if he had stuck around a few more years.
New art must go beyond what went before. We hope this issue helps point the way for artists seeking to overcome any strictures they may currently face.

Battlefield 1942Edit
The F-85 is a vehicle featured in the Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII expansion for the Allies. It is fast and is able to perform extremely tight turns. Despite this, however, it can also be hard to handle due to its responsiveness to controls.
Great at strafing and destroying other aircraft, it can also be highly effective in the Kamikaze role because of its maneuverability, speed, and responsiveness. Despite these advantages, the Goblin is very frail, and as little as two direct flak hits can destroy it. However, its sheer speed and small size make it incredibly difficult to hit. It can be effectively used at protecting C-47s against Flaks and Wasserfall missiles.

There's a different theme each week, it's a fun way to see what other people are reading and get recommendations for books you may not have chose to read otherwise. I already shared a few books I'm looking forward to reading on my Fall Reading List post, but here are eight books that I'd like to read this winter. Continue reading

Archie's Return
I have a confession to make, when I was a kid, I was obsessed with Archie Comics. I'd like to think of myself as a voracious reader, talking true literature, but there was a time in my life when all I wanted to read was Archie Comics (I also went through a Sweet Valley High phase, don't judge…). Every time we were at the grocery store I would beg my parents to buy me one. What a genius marketing ploy to put them at grocery store checkout counters, do they still do that?
So of course I was a little intrigued when I heard that they were making a show for Netflix. Then a little while later I read an article that the show was actually pretty good. Finally, the nail in the coffin, home by myself on a Friday night, wondering what to watch on Netflix. Lo and behold, Netflix thought it'd be something I'd be interested in, apparently since I'd watched Gilmore Girls.
Big Little Lies
Did anyone watch the Oscars last night? Do people even watch the Oscars anymore? I usually tune in to watch part of the red carpet and the opening monologue. Apparently I missed all the drama!
I checked out of the Oscars to watch Episode 2 of Big Little Lies. I've been excited for this show to air. I liked the book, and they amped it up with a killer cast. I don't have HBO so I missed last weeks episode and went to my mom's house to watch the first two last night. I was definitely impressed.
Countdown to Rio
I love the Olympics. I get so excited for it every time, researching obscure athletes in sports I would never watch otherwise. I even had the opportunity to attend the Sochi games in 2014. Usually the Olympic ads start months before (at least in Canada) and you begin to be introduced to the latest crop of athletes who we will cheer for. But this year, it all feels a little bit deflated. It seemed Sochi had lots of problems leading into the games, but Rio is playing a whole different ball game. It's just been one controversy after another. It's actually hard to choose which issue is the most alarming. Of course there's the Zika Virus which health officials are now saying is not a major concern to visiting athletes. A few high profile athletes have already dropped out of the games, notably golfers which is marring Golf's Olympic return. Continue reading
Amazing Race Canada S4 E2
Episode 2 of the Amazing Race Canada played last night on CTV and things are looking up for the series. After the mishap of one of the detours on the first episode they bounced back with some good challenges in Calgary and even a close sprint to the finish.
The episode began with them in Jasper receiving their first clue of the leg. Three buses were departing for Calgary and only three teams could get on each bus. No one managed to get lost so the bus order stayed the same as the previous finishes. Jill and Emmett, Steph and Kristen, and Stephane and Antoine were the first bus load. They arrived in Calgary to be greeted by the Mayor, the ever popular Naheed Nenshi. Continue reading
Amazing Race Canada Season 4
The biggest question for me heading into this season is whether they will finally go for a full international season. I get it, Canada is a great country, there are lots of amazing and varied places to see, but for me one of the most interesting parts is the travel around the world. I'm sure they're trying to promote travel and tourism in Canada but to me by keeping it all within Canada they're eliminating interesting aspects from the game. It's one thing getting lost in your own country, it's a whole other dynamic trying to navigate the streets of India, or China. Perhaps it's a budgetary issue, the US is obviously a much larger country than Canada. However Amazing Race Canada is touted as one of the most successful Canadian television shows of all time, I think they can probably afford it. Not to mention there was an Australian version of the show that went for a few seasons and that series was international for every season. Fun fact: Australian actress Rebel Wilson's brother and sister (Ryot and Liberty) were on the first season.
It becomes apparent within the first ten minutes that this season won't be international *sigh* hopes dashed. It's not like I won't still watch it though…
It's also apparent within a few minutes that the Amazing Race producers have once again attempted to make the contestants as diverse as possible. And they seem to want a girl-girl team to win. Of the ten teams there are five girl-girl teams, two guy-guy teams (now only one), and three mixed girl-guy teams. In three seasons so far only guy-guy teams have won, with Mickey and Pete somehow topping the very dominate Natalie and Meaghan. It took the US version of the Amazing Race seventeen seasons to have a girl duo win, I think the producers don't want to wait that long. But maybe I'm reading too much into this… Continue reading
Book Release Updates
I get excited about new books coming out from my favourite authors so I like to follow potential release dates. Even though they aren't necessarily followed it does give you a sense of excitement, thinking about what's to come.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child – July 31, 2016. Available for pre-order, obviously I'm not the only one excited for this, it's been almost ten years since the last Harry Potter book came out. I'm going through withdrawal, and I have unsatisfied desires of going to Harry Potter world.
Oh She Glows Everyday – September 6, 2016. Available for pre-order now. This is the second cookbook from Angela Liddon at the Oh She Glows blog. I have the first cookbook and follow her blog, so I'm excited to see what comes out with this one.
The Fate of the Tearling – November 29, 2016. Book 3 of the Queen of the Tearling Series, excited to see what happens next with this one. Also there's currently a movie in development potentially staring Emma Watson so can't miss that. Continue reading
Mission Blue
I recently watched the documentary Mission Blue on Netflix, part biography of Oceanographer Sylvia Earle, part call to action to save the oceans. Marine conservation seems to be a hot topic as of late, with ocean salinity and coral bleaching an oft referenced issue. It's easy to see what we are losing through dramatic shots of dead coral and barren ocean compared with shots teeming with life. You can see the sorrow on the face of Sylvia Earle describing the dramatic decline she's witnessed in her lifetime.
Overall, I enjoyed the film, it progressed as a history of Sylvia Earle's life juxtaposed with the life and decline of the oceans. It told a nice story, had lots of beautiful underwater shots and gave you the sort of call to action that made you want to get up and do something. Only they never really gave you anything to do. They spoke of Sylvia Earle's idea of hope spots, sort of an extended national park system for the oceans. There are some Marine parks that already exist amounting to about 1% of the Ocean, Dr. Earle has the lofty goal of 20% by 2020. Continue reading

Women of a Certain Age
September 2 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
|Recurring Event (See all)
An event every month that begins at 7:30pm on day First of the month, repeating indefinitely
Women of a Certain Age Comedy is a show straight from the unfettered mouths and uninhibited minds of the funniest, most daring, most experienced people in comedy: the women that have seen it all.
They've raised children both on and off the road with big hairy club bouncers cradling their babies while onstage. These women have stayed in comedy condos where you don't want to use a blacklight on anything. They've been told women aren't funny and asked to trade sexual favors for work. Trust us, they have A LOT to say, and they say it hysterically.

Do we know what to do with 'Don't know'?
|Thu 4 Jul
An experiment was conducted on the UK's Understanding Society Innovation Panel (IP11) comparing three treatments of "Don't know" (DK) response codes within a self-completion (CAWI and CASI) questionnaire.
The three treatments were:
1. The approach currently used on Understanding Society: 'hiding' DK codes and only making them available where respondents try to move on without selecting an answer
2. As above but with a specific prompt at each question on how to view additional option
3. Including DK codes as part of the main response lists (so they are always visible).
Our analysis compares the three treatments focusing on overall response distributions, question completion times and differences by mode. Open data were analysed to add further context.
Analysis was conducted across 26 questions. Treatment 3 consistently elicited a higher proportion of DK responses than treatment 1. The differences at self-assessed health measures tended to be small (typically in the order of one or two percentage points). The differences were particularly pronounced for attitudinal questions on low-salience issues.
When asked about the benefits and risks of nuclear energy, only 9% of those exposed to treatment 1 answered DK, compared with 18% for treatment 2 and 31% for treatment 3. Our analysis suggests that treatment 3 effectively discourages the reporting of 'non-attitudes'. Under treatment 1, 64% of those that reported knowing 'nothing at all' about nuclear energy provided a valid (non-DK) answer at the benefits and risks question; this fell to 46% for treatment 2, and 26% for treatment 3.

Updated notes: I made this 1-2 years ago, and the levels are not challenging since I wasn't that good at DOOM then. Also I was limited to 4 monsters.

I dusted this off a couple of days ago, and discovered that the graphics patch wasn't working and the second demo goes wrong halfway through, which is bizarre, because the only differance is that I'm running it on a faster computer now.

By Roger Federer's standards, defeat came early in the French Open. And it came quickly.
By Roger Federer's standards, defeat came early in the French Open. And it came quickly.
The 17-time Grand Slam champion lost Tuesday in the quarterfinals to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France, 7-5, 6-3, 6-3.
Federer was eliminated before the semifinals for the second time in past three Grand Slam tournaments, but only the fifth time in the past nine years at a major event. Tsonga was responsible for two of the losses — he also beat Federer in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon in 2011.
"I'm pretty sad about the match and the way I played," Federer said. "He was in all areas better than me today. That's why the result was pretty clean."
Serena Williams narrowly averted Federer's fate. She came from behind in the third set and advanced to the French Open semifinals for the first time since 2003 when she defeated Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-1, 3-6, 6-3.
Williams had been beaten the last four times she reached the Roland Garros quarterfinals, most recently in 2010. The 15-time Grand Slam champion, who is ranked No. 1, won her only French Open title in 2002.
"I just got tired of losing in the quarters," she said. "I was so determined to get through that, and I really, really, really, really wanted it more than I think anyone. So I think that kind of helped."
Tsonga earned his first berth in the Roland Garros semifinals and is trying to become the first Frenchman to win the tournament since Yannick Noah in 1983. He's the first Frenchman to reach the semifinals since Gael Monfils in 2008.
"I can't have better a dream," Tsonga told the center court crowd. "So far I play very well. I played against a champion today, a guy who has won everything. Today it's my turn."
On Friday he'll play No. 4-seeded David Ferrer, who beat fellow Spaniard Tommy Robredo 6-2, 6-1, 6-1.
Tsonga was runner-up to Novak Djokovic at the 2008 Australian Open, his best Grand Slam result. Ranked No. 8, he dominated Federer with his blend of power and athleticism.
"Give some credit to the old Jo-Willy Tsonga, please," Federer said.
Federer took a 4-2 lead but played like a mere mortal after that as the match rapidly slipped away. He blew three overheads, missed several easy volleys, hit no aces, dropped serve six times and took a shot to the body on the point that put Tsonga ahead to stay in the final set.
Facing a break point, Federer sliced a drop shot, and Tsonga raced forward to scoop it up. He whacked a backhand that clipped the net cord and then drilled Federer under his right arm.
That made it 4-3, and Tsonga quickly won the final two games.
When he closed out the victory, Federer greeted him with a gracious smile and a congratulatory pat on the stomach.
A jubilant Tsonga then went spinning across the court, waving his arms as the partisan crowd roared. Federer, long a fan favorite in Paris, also earned a lusty cheer as he headed to the exit. He responded by applauding the crowd.
"I should have won the first set," Federer said. "Unfortunately I couldn't regroup."
The last time Federer lost to a player ranked so low in a major tournament was at Wimbledon two years ago, when the No. 19-ranked Tsonga overcame a two-set deficit to beat him.
The French Open has always been the most difficult major event for Federer. He won his lone Roland Garros title in 2009 to complete a career Grand Slam and tie Pete Sampras' record of 14 major titles.
Now 31, he has yet to win any tournament in 2013, his longest drought to start a year since 2000.
Williams is also 31 but playing at her peak — although that wasn't the case for a long stretch against Kuznetsova. Williams overcame an inconsistent serve, erratic groundstrokes and a 2-love deficit in the final set, winning five consecutive games and then closing the victory with a forehand winner and a scream.
"Yes!" she hollered.
It was the first real test of the tournament for Williams, who lost 10 games after losing a total of 10 games in her four earlier matches. She laughed at herself, screamed at herself, violently shook her uncooperative racket and cocked it over her head, threatening to fling it before she changed her mind.
Williams finally found a way out of her funk — and into the semifinals. She extended her career-best winning streak to 29 consecutive matches.
In a post-match on-court interview, Williams seemed spent.
"I'm very happy to have won this quarterfinal because the whole night I was afraid of my quarterfinal match," she told the crowd in French. "It was a very tough match today, but it's good for me because, I don't know, but it's very good. I am exhausted."
Kuznetsova said strained an abdominal muscle early in the tournament, which hampered her serve, but her aggressive returns kept pressure on Williams.
"I did push her to the limit I think today, even without my serve," Kuznetsova said. "I was serving like, I don't know, a grandmother."
Williams is the first American woman to reach the French Open semifinals since Jennifer Capriati in 2004. Her opponent Thursday will be 2012 runner-up Sara Errani, who advanced by beating No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska 6-4, 7-6 (6).
Williams is 5-0 against Errani.

This is a very girlie vest top because of it's pretty underwear style lace edging in baby blue and the delicate cotton jersey design of the fabric. An underwear style that can be worn in the day as a layering piece or to bed if they're prone to getting too hot in the night, and let's face it, with central heating these days... it's easy to do.
It looks so good paired with our check shorts. Try looking at styles like FARLEY or FERN for a shortie short, or if your teenager prefers a longer short take a look at styles DALE or EASTON

Aristotelianism's Heideggerian encounters
Aristotelian metaphysics was attacked from several directions in the twentieth century. Martin Heidegger's critique was distinctive in its close engagement with and reinterpretation of Aristotle's own texts. Heidegger and his followers attempted to deconstruct Aristotelianism's traditionally theoretical philosophy, but some of those followers - most famously, Hans-Georg Gadamer - went on to isolate and rehabilitate a 'neo-Aristotelian' and specifically 'practical' philosophy.
The influence of neo-Aristotelian practical philosophy has now diffused, and spread. Perhaps most notably, it can be traced in the recent development of 'particularism' within Anglo-American ethics.

Since the origin of our Group in 1974, we have focused all our efforts on seeking of excellence, building reliable, durable boats that meet the requirements of our customers. Now, we are taking a step further with our new Rodman 1090 Evolution. We are certain that it shall represent a change in our classic range of pleasure crafts. Would you like to know all about it? Get on board and we will show you.
The Technical and Development team in Rodman, together with the naval design and architecture studio, Barcelona Yacht Design, have perfectly combined the Shipyard's know-how, experience and building quality with the most innovative design and decoration elements.
The result, the New Rodman 1090 Evolution, represents the perfect balance between the past and present, where the key features of the Rodman brand are present and added to more innovative design and functionality aspects.
A versatile boat, aimed to a wide variety of customers that shall be released in two versions, Hard Top and Flybridge, both customizable to the use and requirements the Owner may desire.
The new Rodman 1090 Evolution reaches a máximum speed of 31 knots.
The hull design of the Rodman 1090, extremely reliable during navigation, is based on the extensive experience, both in tank and full-scale tests. The shapes combine high levels of performance and comfort together with the typical seaworthiness of our boats.
In terms of design, the longitudinal position of the hull centre has been optimised to minimise pressure and friction resistance in the usual speed ranges. The hull, deck and superstructure of the boat are built in composite materials consisting mainly of E-glass fibre fabrics, laminated with polyester resin type approved for marine use.
Also, she is provided with the Volvo Penta 300-1050 interceptor system technology that allows a safer and more comfortable navigation while reducing the consumption of the boat and thus reducing the environmental impact. It can be provided in two versions, manual or automatic.
Concerning interior configuration, this boat has a spacious owner's cabin, well equipped with many small details included. The guest's cabin, displays two beds in L configuration. On top of that, the boat has independent toilet, galley and dinette with all the things the owner needs on board, to make the most of his moments at sea.
The new Rodman 1090 Evolution shall become the best choice for those Owners seeking for a seaworthy boat, safe and reliable, authentic and provided with modern lines, comfortable and functional.
Starting next season, the most emblematic models of the Fisher-Cruiser Rodman range shall be released, completely renovated and following the path traced by the new Rodman 1090 Evolution and reinforcing the leadership of this Rodman range, in the international market and within the fishing-cruiser segment.
By the end of this year, a new version of her most affordable model, the new Rodman 890 Ventura shall be launched and by the end of next spring, the new Rodman 1290 Evolution shall be introduced, based on the lines from the iconic fishing boat model Rodman 1250
We shall keep you informed on the coming new developments. All of them represent a stylish change in the Rodman range, while maintaining the spirit of our predecessor models.
What do you think of our Rodman 1090? We look forward to hearing from you. And if you want to see other proposals, download our catalogue or browse our social networks.

Last week the children in KG took part in World Nursery Rhyme week. We focused on 'Incy Wincy Spider', 'Baa Baa Black Sheep', 'Two Little Dickie Birds' and 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat'. The children loved singing the nursery rhymes, learning actions and doing lots of activities relating to them, becoming more familiar with them. Nursery rhymes are a great way of teaching vocabulary, language and literacy skills as well as numeracy, social, physical and emotional skills.

Buddhism and Health
This is a summary of a workshop discussion on Buddhism and Health that was conducted at the WACANA 2011 in Nalanda Buddhist Society yesterday. The emphasis for this year's WACANA is on familiarising ourselves with the Buddha Words, ie. the suttas in particular and the tipitaka in general.
1. Definition of Health
Health is defined as physical and mental wellbeing since a human being is made up of a physical body (rupa) and mind (nama). Mind here includes emotional health.
2. Buddhists' Attitude towards Health
In the Dhammapada v. 204 as well as in Sukkhavagga (Dhp XV), it is said that "health is the greatest gift and contentment is the greatest wealth". Health is therefore of primary importance for a Buddhist as a healthy body is the ideal vehicle to support our cultivation of the mind. Thus, physical health should not be neglected.
In the Magandiya Sutta (MN75), the Buddha pointed out that "even though I may be afflicted in body, my mind will be unafflicted". This shows that it is possible to attain and have equanimity in our mind despite the presence of physical pain. In other words, physical pain may be unavoidable but mental suffering is optional, depending on how well we have cultivated our mind.

We've made some fixes from our last patch, introduced the BF-109 flight model fixes which should greatly improve handling, focused on game balance, added our new tier 0 anti-tank gun crew art and several under the hood related items pertaining to Steam's release.
World War II Online - Version 188.8.131.52 (January 2017)
Happy New Year soldiers of WWII Online!
The Allies can be happier knowing that their Fortified Mobile Spawns (FMS) will last longer, as HEAT rounds no longer can rapidly take them down. NOTE: The HEAT round has not been touched, ONLY the FMS damage threshold relating to that round.
We expect more Axis Pilots in the AIR with the latest BF-109 fixes that have been made. We had a major rudder issue (delay) that caused really bad handling. This marks the beginning of a series of flight model reviews.
Game Balance is CRS's priority, we have increased the AO thresholds in accordance with the underpopulated sides population. HC will also have more time to place AO's without the system automatically placing it.
New Features
- Global Audio Alert for Attack / Defense objectives being placed.
- New crew member models on the Pak36, 2 Pounder and SA mle 1934 Anti-Tank Guns.
- Ammo cache PPO lifetime doubled.
- Ammo cache PPO receives new and improved texture.
Game Play / Strategy
- High Command now has more time to place spare AO's.
- AO availability threshold increased, meaning more players are required prior to additional attack objectives.
General Fixes
- HEAT rounds do less damage to Fortified Mobile Spawn PPO.
- BF-109 rudder fix, and improved handling.
- Mortar barrage waypoint acts as a proper waypoint.
- USA Flag is properly displayed / in code with US standards.
- SA mle 1934 (25mm) ATG typo fix in spawn list.
- Mac users can now adjust their mouse sensitivity settings.
- You should no longer receive "invalid building" messages.
Other Notes
- Underlying work for the Mac client.
- Standard loading screens replaced holiday screens.
- Copyright updated to 2017.
- A bunch of other stuff in preparation for Steam that's under the hood.

#14 The Marginal Benefits of Crime and Propaganda & Michael Collins Piper
The Truth is No Defense: 5/9/2006 #14
The Marginal Benefits of Crime and Propaganda, and Michael Collins Piper
Listen Here to The Truth is No Defense
Listen to The Truth Is No Defense and all Vanguard Radio Media 24/7!
Lets start tonight's broadcast with the economics of crime prevention and suppression. Suppose, for example, basic crime prevention and suppression techniques are introduced into a lawless society. An economist would tell you, that in such an example crime would drop precipitously. The 'bang for the buck' is quite high.
However, for each subsequent increment of crime prevention and suppression the marginal benefits diminish. At some point additional efforts yield no benefit, and further attempts harm society in terms of lost productivity. Stamping out all crime is just too costly. Some level of crime must simply be tolerated, even in a tyrannical society.
This principle of marginal benefit also applies to news, though I prefer the term propaganda. Propaganda makes facts sparkle, it animates facts. Propaganda is of often innocently dispersed horizontally by commonly held assumptions, in other cases it is deliberately inserted vertically into news broadcasts.
We live in a society under the influence of coherent and pervasive full spectrum propaganda. In all circumstances now matter how trivial this propaganda is present. If you observe and listen you will note the pride many Americans feel at being able to perfectly repeat programmed themes as: diversity is our strength, we are a nation of immigrants, and we must be sensitive to those unlike ourselves.
Take for example the weather forecast, how tempting it is to insert, either unknowingly or with forethought, that this Saturday will not only be sunny and clear but a terrific day to join the diversity rally downtown. Or consider interracial gang rape: ninety-nine percent of gang-rapes are committed by swarms of black men raping white women. But the only well publicized alleged interracial gang rape of recent times is the Duke case, in which it is alleged that White males raped a black stripper; in ninety-nine other cases blacks rape white women. The media is an inverter of reality, it turns our world upside-down, it serves interests that are not ours.
Yet there are leaks in the system. This broadcast is one example, so is Goyfire, and of course there are hundreds of other websites and small printing presses churning out propaganda opposing the Jewish media. But how many people listen to this broadcast? A couple hundred? How may people listen to Goyfire? A thousand or so?
How much is it worth to the media clique to shutdown Goyfire or locate and destroy independent printing presses? Frankly, the media clique doesn't need to worry about us In fact, shutting us down might cost the clique more than it gains. Attention might be drawn to our propaganda, sympathy for our positions might increase, and of course shutting down the opposition would deprive the clique of critical information it needs to monitor our propaganda, information it needs to generate counter propaganda. The marginal costs of arresting and destroying fringe media is too high, at least for the time being.
I'm sure you know that name Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the evil mastermind behind the insurgency in Iraq. He is a terrorist: Iraq, Terrorism, Zarqawi, Iraq, Terrorism, Zarqawi, Iraq, Terrorism, Zarqawi. Now do you remember? You recall the photo, don't you: the fuzzy black and white photo, a man with a beard, an arab with some sort of skull cap? Its always the same photo, you've seen it, haven't you? Beard, Dark Eyes, Skull Cap. I bet you've seen that photo hundreds of times. Its a typical Arab face – a face of a terrorist, Never mind that the real Zarqawi, that is the man whose face is on that photo, probably owns a falafel stand in Cairo.
But then again, perhaps Zarqawi doesn't even exist? Zarqawi might be invented by intelligence agencies, brought to life by the breath of the Jewish media. I'm not the only one to offer this speculation.
Curiously, until today, Zarqawi has been the crafty mastermind of evil, just one step ahead of American justice. But today, the Pentagon released what is being called a blooper video of Zarqawi. In the video the much feared insurgent is shown wearing sneakers and comically fumbling a rifle.
So, Zarqawi the evil mastermind becomes Zarqawi the boob. What the Jew createth, the Jew can taketh away. With the war going badly the goy front men for Jewish power ought to keep that in mind, especially a man like Donald Rumsfeld, the Secretary of Defense. Rumsfeld, is after all, of German descent, and and every German is a potential Hitler.
And when you were told that Saddam Hussein was just like Hitler, you believed that. When you were told another "Munich" was about to happen, you believed that too. When you were told Iraq had nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons did you believe that? Did you believe that Saddam Hussein was trying to reconstitute his nuclear weapons program? Did you believe Saddam Hussein was about to launch UAVs directed at the East Coast which would then spray poison over of the United States. Do you believe George Bush is a good Christian? Do you believe he is a good hearted, straight talking, Texan? Do you believe that Israel is our ally and only friend in the Middle East, the one nation that shares our Western values? Do you believe that 'diversity is our greatest strength' ?
No? Well, isn't that what you're told believe, and isn't that what you hear from the radio, TV, and advertisements, and if you think otherwise you might be violating a law of some kind. For your own sanity, for your career, for your physical health just believe what your told and what you're not told you don't need to know.
After all, have you ever heard of John Paisley? What about "Team B?" Have you ever heard John Paisley or Team B discussed on the Rush Limbaugh Show, on Sean Hannity, Matt Drudge or mentioned by Ann Coulter? I first read about Team B in a book by Michael Collins Piper called the High Priests of War.
It turns out Team B was the Jews first successful high level penetration of the US defense establishment. Team B's christening was in 1976 under then President Gerald Ford. The Team B was small group then. Its role was to critique CIA intelligence estimates of the Soviet Union. Team B expanded under Reagan and now, 30 years after the initial construction of Team B, its ideology dominates the entire defense establishment. Team B is a textbook case of Jewish subversion. Team B's real purpose according to Piper was reconciliation of America's defense policy that of Israel's. And who comprised Team B? Do the names Richard Perle, Richard Pipes, and Paul Wolfowitz sound familiar? They ought to, for it was Perle and Wolfowitz who masterminded the Iraq war and told George W. Bush to invade Iraq in 2003.
Oh, who was was John Paisley, you ask? Mr. Paisley was a retired CIA agent asked by George H. W. Bush to act as a liaison between the CIA and Team B. Piper reports that Paisley had acquired documents exposing Team B's perfidy, and while writing a report critical of Team B was murdered.
Piper writes,
[High Priests of War, Page 27]
For many listening now this is probably the first you've heard about Team B, John Paisley though the facts are in plain sight. Nothing is hidden. Piper freely publishes his work detailing the takeover of the US defense establishment by Jews, and the murder of John Paisley, yet all this can simply be ignored. Who is going to tell the public, Bill O'Reilly or Stone Phillips, and exactly how would that benefit them? But better to ask "how much would it cost them?"

Photo: Julie Elder of NATS with the Charter
UK air traffic services provider NATS has become one of over 50 aviation and aerospace companies to sign the Women in Aviation and Aerospace Charter.
The charter, which is supported by the Department for Transport, represents NATS' commitment to increasing gender balance within the organisation, including:
• Having one member of the senior executive team who is responsible and accountable for gender diversity and inclusion
• Setting internal targets, where appropriate, for gender diversity in senior management
• Publishing progress annually against any targets in reports on NATS website
• Having an intention to ensure the pay of the senior executive team is linked to delivery against any internal targets on gender diversity and inclusion
Julie Elder, HR & Corporate Services Director, said: "NATS recognises how important having a balanced workforce is for business – especially in the aviation and aerospace sectors – so we are extremely proud to have signed the Charter."
"By 2020 our aim is to increase the proportion of women in our organisation and in management roles. There is much more that we, and other organisations like us, must do to encourage and support women in pursuing STEM related careers – and signing this Charter is a great way to prove our commitment to achieve this."
As well as hosting an annual Bring Your Daughter to Work Day event, NATS encourages people from all walks of life, regardless of gender, to consider a career in aviation by raising awareness at various careers fairs and air shows around the country.

South Africa's President Jacob Zuma, worth over $20 million, is widely regarded as corrupt, a sexual predator, and a facilitator of "state capture" by his cronies, the Gupta brothers. The economy is in the doldrums, and the Rand continues to lose value. Yet, as of now, the candidate likely to succeed him as African National Congress (ANC) party leader is his chosen successor, Nkosanza Dlamini Zuma. Her rival for the position is the powerful Cyril Ramaphosa, the current deputy president, worth an estimated $700 million, and an architect of the country's transition to non-racial democracy. A brief review of the way both South Africa's constitutional democracy and the ANC work is needed to explain how someone attached to the publicly toxic Jacob Zuma could be the front-runner to succeed him.
Jacob Zuma is both the leader of the African National Congress (ANC) and the president of South Africa. At an upcoming December convention, the ANC will choose a new party leader. Not until 2019, however, will there actually be national elections, which will ultimately decide the new president. Under South Africa's constitutional system of proportional representation, voters vote for a party, not a particular candidate. Behind the scenes and out of the public eye, parties rank-order their candidates. So, if a party wins thirty seats, then the first thirty names on the party's rank-ordered list go into parliament. If a party wins a majority of votes, as the ANC always has since the end of apartheid, the first name on its list (usually party leader but not necessarily so) is elected president by the ANC majority in parliament.
More on:
Within the ANC, the party leader position takes precedent over the president. Hence, if the president is deposed as party leader, the expectation is that he will resign the presidency. Thabo Mbeki resigned the presidency after being defeated for party leadership in 2007, and the deputy president became acting president until national elections in 2009. This is not a matter of law, but one of party practice. It is conceivable that a defeated or retired party leader might try to retain the presidency. The assumption is that, should he try to do so while not party leader, he would lack the necessary support of a majority in parliament and thus could not function politically.
That being said, if Dlamini-Zuma, his political ally, ex-wife, and mother of four of his twenty-odd children, wins the contest for party leadership, he could very well decline to step down from the presidency, and he would be completely within his rights. At least in theory, she would be able to muster enough support for him to function as president. Importantly, Zuma will face 700-plus indictments for corruption once he leaves the presidency (sitting presidents are apparently immune from prosecution), whether that is in December 2017 or in 2019. South Africa's judiciary has proven itself independent time and time again. As party leader, Dlamini-Zuma might be able to provide Zuma crucial cover from the judiciary. If he is confident she is able to do so, Jacob Zuma might feel comfortable enough to resign, given the poor state of his health. Suffice to stay that the personal stakes in December are high for the sitting president.
On the other hand, if another candidate not well disposed toward him wins, like Cyril Ramaphosa, then it becomes likely that he will step down because he will not command a majority in parliament. In that case Cyril Ramaphosa as deputy president would then become acting president. Even if Ramaphosa does not win, Dlamini-Zuma could allow Ramaphosa to stay on as deputy president—and, therefore, acting president until the 2019 elections—to keep the party together.
As the discussion above shows, political parties under South Africa's system of proportional representation are much stronger than they are in Canada, the United Kingdom, or the United States. If a member of parliament leaves his party, he must resign his seat. Particularly striking for an American observer is the subordination of the state to the party. Within the ANC, the subordination of the presidency to the position of party leader recalls and perhaps reflects the Marxist-Leninist practice of its years in exile and during its armed struggle.

Afghanistan's post-Taleban government has told the United Nations Security Council it has several conditions before it will accept the deployment of a multinational security force.
In a letter to the council (dated Friday), acting Afghan Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah said the Afghan government agrees to multinational troops. But, he said, the deployment must be on the basis of an item in the U-N Charter that does not explicitly authorize the use of military force.
The U-N Security Council is expected to approve a resolution, next week, authorizing a multinational force to guard the Afghan capital, Kabul.
Several council members have said security contributors will not participate if there is a mandate banning the option of using force to protect their troops.
The council is also waiting for Britain's expected announcement that it will lead the force. The announcement is not expected until after a British military team returns from a weekend reconnaissance trip to Kabul.

An interesting, even passionate response from Norman to my last post on Rabbi Hirsch.
"I part company with Hirsch regarding his theatricalizing of Jewish ritual and prayer," saith the poet. "I no longer know if I'm a secular or religious Jew, but I don't attend synagogue much at all. Still, I love the rituals too much to think of them as theater or the prayers as mere quotation. Jews died rather than give up those practices. I could never go to shul thinking that what I was doing was anything like a play, regardless of any outward similarities to performance."
I find this fascinating, mostly because it is entirely alien to me. I almost always think of prayer as performance, whether I'm at shul or at church with my wife: to me, performance is about self-transformation, as I turn myself into the person who is singing, with believable passion, "Rock of Israel, rise up and help Israel!" or "Sweet soul daddy, bend me, shape me, any way you want me," or however Y'did Nefesh is properly translated. I do the same thing singing along to the radio, or saying a poem out loud in class. The joy of prayer to me is partly communal--there's a deep, abiding pleasure in davening together--but partly, or even mostly, the inward and individual magic that happens when I make believe that I'm addressing Someone. Isn't "You" the most intimate, most sacred of divine names, the one that makes things happen most often? Isn't apostrophe always serious juju?
Maybe you need to think of performance via Austen, rather than Broadway. Prayer is performative language: it makes something happen, at least to the pray-er, when you "pour out your heart like water," as it says in Lamentations.
As for the thought that Jews have died rather than give up these practices--I'm embarassed to say that I've almost never thought about that. Again, a deeply foreign reaction; not wrong, just radically Other, in a way that Norman's instincts and insights rarely feel to me. Curious...
Anyone else out there thinking about prayer and performance these days?

Ah, the circle closes. When I was a sophomore, I wrote a fat, overconfident essay on Emma that spoke of "Jane Austin" throughout!
