Softball Opens Conference Play Versus Lenoir-RhyneMarch 14, 2014
ANDERSON, S.C. – On the heels of a season-high six-game road swing, the 14th-ranked Anderson University softball team returns home to welcome preseason South Atlantic Conference favorite Lenoir-Rhyne to Smethers Field on Saturday, with first-pitch set for 2 p.m.
The doubleheader marks the conference opener for both squads, as the Trojans return to Smethers Field for the first time in 12 days after posting a 4-2 record on the road swing through the Peach State. Anderson is 10-2 at home on the season and is coming off a sweep of Clark Atlanta last Tuesday. Lenoir-Rhyne, perennial contenders in the southeast region, enters the twin bill on a three-game win streak.
Saturday's doubleheader will feature the top two teams in the SAC Preseason Poll, as Anderson was tabbed to finish second in the conference, just behind Lenoir-Rhyne, the defending four-time SAC tournament champions. The Bears, who have claimed eight regular-season league titles, garnered seven first-place votes from the coaches, while the Trojans collected three.
The Trojans
Junior second baseman Jessica Neidigh is on a seven-game hitting streak and has boosted her batting average by nearly 90 points during the seven contests to a team-high .444 on the season. The left-handed leadoff hitter currently ranks third in the league in hitting and is second in the SAC with 36 total hits. She is a perfect 14-of-14 in the stolen base department, tying Lincoln Memorial's Brianna Mulkey for tops in the conference. Senior shortstop Abby Child is hitting .429 and leads the league with eight home runs, while Molly Child is just behind with six round-trippers. Abby Child also leads the SAC in slugging percentage (.900) and RBI (35), while ranking third on on-base percentage (.544) and runs scored (28). She belted a grand slam versus Clark Atlanta, setting a new school record with 40 career homers.
With her .421 batting average, Molly Child is sixth in the league and is riding a team-best 10-game hitting streak that has improved her average by nearly 60 points since late February. The sophomore center fielder ranks in the top five in the SAC in eight additional offensive categories. First baseman Danielle Swygert is the fourth Trojan to be batting over .400 on the season (.413), which is eighth. The senior has 31 hits and has driven in 23 runs, which ranks fifth and seventh, respectively.
Junior Rebecca Martin currently boasts a career-best .378 batting average and has already slammed a career-high five home runs on the season. Freshman Courtney Czentnar is hitting .356 and is a perfect 5-for-5 in stolen bases to help AU rank fifth in the league with 26 stolen bases on the season, which is just two swipes shy of last season's total.
In the circle, junior hurler Katelynn Howser (8-1) has a 1.47 ERA, which is seventh in the league and has recorded 58 strikeouts in 62 innings of work. The right-hander is holding opponents to just a .183 batting average. Freshman Lauren Rudesheim (9-2) has made 15 appearances and has 42 strikeouts, while posting a 2.40 ERA. Classmate Augie Pena is 3-1 on the season in 12 appearances and is second in the conference by averaging 10.24 strikeouts per game.
The Bears
Lenoir-Rhyne, which tied for third in the SAC standings last season after going 37-16 overall and 11-7 in league play, was ousted from the Southeast Regional Championship by the Trojans.
Four Bears earned all-league preseason accolades, including first-teamer Maryann Hoskins, a sophomore pitcher. She was named to the 2013 All-SAC First Team after finishing with a record of 17-8 to go along with a 1.79 earned run average, 10 shutouts and 164 strikeouts. Senior third baseman Haily Jarman, senior outfielder Jody Mizelle and sophomore pitcher Brandi Hole were all named to the all-league preseason second team for the Bears.
Jarman, a three-time All-SAC honoree, led the Bears in hits (55), runs scored (33), slugging percentage (.554), triples (five) and total bases (92) last season to go along with a .331 batting average and 27 runs batted in. Mizelle hit a team-best eight home runs last season with 18 runs batted in while Hole fashioned a 19-8 record in addition to a 2.05 earned run average, five shutouts and 100 strikeouts.
First baseman Sydney Landreth earned SAC Player of the Week honors earlier this month, after hitting .471 (8-for-17) for the week ending March 4, with five runs scored and six runs batted in and led the Bears to a 6-1 week. Landreth hit safely in six of the seven games, including a pair of hits in victories over Lander (7-0) and Columbus State (9-0), respectively, in the Mid-South Classic.
Hole is the reigning conference Pitcher of the Week after tossing her fourth shutout of the season last Sunday at GRU Augusta, allowing only four hits in seven innings while striking out three in a 7-0 Bears win. The sophomore has now thrown complete-game shutouts in her last four appearances. The performance helped lower Hole's ERA to a conference-best 0.52. She is also tied for the league lead with 10 wins and ranks fourth in strikeouts with 66, just behind teammate Hoskins, who boasts an 8-3 record on the season.
The two L-R hurlers have combined to notch 10 shutouts on the season and are holding opponents to a .176 batting average.
The Bears are 18-5 overall and arrive at Smethers Field riding a three-game win streak. L-R has won eight of its last 10 contests and is a stellar 9-1 at home, while posting a 9-4 record on the road. The Bear are coming off a pair of shutouts, 1-0 and 4-0, past Peach Belt Conference-member UNC Pembroke last Wednesday and the doubleheader at Smethers Field is the final two road games for L-R before the Bears open an eight-game homestand.
The Series vs. Lenoir-Rhyne
The Trojans and Bears have met 14 times, including eight times since Anderson joined the South Atlantic Conference for the 2011 campaign. Lenoir-Rhyne holds a decisive 12-2 advantage in the overall series that dates back to the 2004 campaign. The Bears swept last year's season series, 3-1 and 4-0, in Hickory, N.C., with the sixth-seeded Trojans avenging the setbacks by rallying to defeat second-seeded Lenoir-Rhyne, 6-3, in the finals of the Hickory Regional, as AU advanced to the Southeast Super Regional in Savannah, Ga.
With the score knotted at 3-3 in the regional title contest, Anderson posted two runs in the bottom of the third inning for a lead that they would not relinquish. Bri Cason led off the home half of the inning with a single and Neidigh singled up the middle with two outs. Swygert then ripped a clutch double to right-center, plating both Cason and Neidigh with the go-ahead runs. The Trojans added another run in the sixth when Neidigh coaxed a one-out walk and crossed the plate on Abby Child's two-out single.
In the three meetings last season, Swygert was 4-for-10 with a double, a home run and three RBI. Abby Child and Molly Child each singled twice, while Neidigh drew three walks and scored three times.

727 Torqueflite Transmission Conversion - Crammin' The Crash Box - Hardcore Tech: Swap In A Stick ShiftWritten by on July 1, 2001 Floor-Grabbing Gears In Place Of A Torqueflite
"Four On The Floor."
If there's anything that captures the soul of a pure, old-style musclecar, it's banging out shifts with a four-speed manual transmission. No doubt the Torqueflite is good, arguably the best automatic of the supercar era, but for all-out power-shifting brutality, that four-change took the prize. Perhaps it's that deeper level of mechanical connection that comes with hand-grabbing gears that can't be matched by a juice-shifted box. Like their automatics, Chrysler's A-833 manual transmissions were the best of the breed, designed from the start to survive on the strip behind the thinly disguised race engines the company was noted for. To quote the factory literature, "... it is still the strongest, most dependable, four-speed production transmission available in assembly-line built passenger cars."
Got a hankering for a cold chrome stick snaking up from the center of the floorboard yourself, but your Mopar left the factory a pedal short? The change can be made. Be forewarned, however, that this transformation is not for the weak of heart or mechanical ability. In fact, the MP Chassis Book warns, "The conversion of an automatic transmission car to a manual transmission is extremely complicated and not recommended." For purists of originality, such a swap may even be perceived as malfeasance, especially on a rare or historically significant vehicle.
That behind us, my modified daily driver '69 Dodge Dart Custom is neither rare nor historically significant, and it was already carrying a modified 727 TorqueFlite with a high-stall in place of the stock 904. Why mess with a good thing? You can make all the excuses you want about the better fuel economy, quicker times in the quarter, or available overdrive ratios-the truth is that the seduction of grabbing gears in a hot small-block Mopar was reason enough.
In reality, the list of what's needed to make the change is not that long: a pedal set; clutch linkage; clutch disc, pressure plate, and throwout bearing; the bellhousing and trans; a shifter and linkage; the floor tunnel hump; four-speed carpeting; and maybe a steering column. The tricky part is amassing the parts required, with the key being compatibility. For it to work, the four-speed tranny system has to have the right players on the team in your conversion. The clutch has to be the right size for the flywheel, the pedals have to be correct for the body type, the flywheel and tranny pilot have to fit the bellhousing, and the list goes on.
As you might guess, there were many variations; unfortunately too many to cover them for every application here. The best bet is to source the conversion pieces from a single compatible donor vehicle of the same body type, buy the pieces from a specialist such as Brewer's, or just know your four-speed stuff cold when shopping the boneyards and swap meets. The Mopar Chassis Book has an excellent chapter on four speeds that covers most of the parts variations you need to know if buying the conversion parts a-la-carte.
In our case, we found an F-Body short-extension overdrive 833 four-speed in an Aspen R/T at the junkyard. The 318 four-speed car was complete, yielding a mother lode of conversion pieces. For our A-Body application, the F-Body's short-extension tranny, bellhousing, shifter and linkage, flywheel and clutch, and shift fork were a direct interchange. We pulled the clutch linkage as well, which wasn't an ideal match for the A-Body chassis, but beggars can't be choosers. We knew with some minor, though well-thought-out changes, we could probably adapt the linkage and fabricate the rest of what we'd need (if hammer forging your own linkage parts against an anvil isn't your game, get the correct pieces for your specific application). We had already pack-ratted the correct A-Body pedals from a local car-show swap meet, so the only parts missing when we got ready to start were the tunnel hump and carpet, easily obtained by calling Sherman & Associates for the hump, and Auto Custom Carpet for the rug. The only thing between us and tire-screeching shifts was to break out the cutter, welder, and wrenches, and cram it in. Here's how we did it.
(810) 677-6800

Inside, the front seat and carpet have to come out for the tunnel mods. The pedals also need to be changed, and the column should be replaced or modified to give the correct look. Pulling the column gives working room down at the pedals.The automatic's brake pedal needs to be disconnected from the brake pushrod by removing the special pushrod pivot bolt (arrow).Under the hood, the brake master cylinder, or power brake booster if so equipped, needs to be unbolted so the automatic trans pedal assembly can be removed. Inside, a few bolts are removed, and the whole pedal assembly can be pulled as a unit.The auto-trans and manual-trans pedal assemblies are identical, except for the swing pedals themselves, and the over-center spring used with the four-speed assembly. The brackets are the same. As a result, the four-speed swing-pedal assembly was just bolted in place of the old one.The flywheel needs to be balanced correctly for the engine application, either zero balanced for internally balanced engines such as 318s, or one of a number of externally-balanced units matching the balance requirements of various externally-balanced engines (440 Six Pack, cast crank 340s, all 360s, and so on). The junkyard clutch cover from the F-Body was in nice shape, so we just tossed a new clutch disc under it and bolted it up.Underneath, the crank needs a pilot bushing installed to run a four-speed. Unfortunately, not all Mopar cranks were drilled or finish sized for the bushing. Cranks that are drilled, but not finish sized, will work if the O.D. of the bushing is turned down, or often with a NAPA 615-1033 undersize bushing made for unfinished cranks. Undrilled cranks can use the later Mopar bearing 53009180 which fits in the crank's torque converter hub register, though the nose of the trans' input shaft will need to be hacked off for clearance. Luckily, the Dart's '84 police 318's crank was drilled and sized for the regular pilot bushing. Knock it in with a proper driver.A key mod in the conversion is the tunnel hump. In the old days, these were cut out of original four-speed cars, but try finding one today. Thankfully, Sherman & Associates makes great reproduction humps for the A-Body (top) and pre '71 B-Body (lower) which makes the floor conversion a lot less painful.The tunnel hump is first laid over the floorpan and the outline is marked on the pan using a wide Sharpie. The hump isn't positively located, so just move it around for best fit. Notice the gap at the back of the hump. Because the hump is patterned to fit the late A-Body, early cars are left with a gap.
The 833 four-speed has the same mounting configuration as the automatics, so the same crossmember and mount will bolt right up. The trans is fully bolted in place before we make the final alignment check of the hump.With the trans and shifter in, the hump is lined up again, making sure the shifter pokes through in the right place, towards the back of the hole, and centered right to left.The final cut is about 1/2-3/4-inch inside the marked outline of the hump, giving the required overlapping flange to weld to. Note the guidelines that are marked to make this cut accurate; this is not a good place to mess up. Here is the finished opening; the edges of the cut hole should be painted over with Resto-Motive's POR-15 or other rust preventative.After trial fitting, the Sherman & Associates hump is MIG welded in place. It's nice to know everything will line up exactly right. Notice a small sheetmetal filler section is added to fill the gap at the rear of the hump, although a thick caulk or bondo could be used.The edges of the hump are sealed with 3M Brushable Seam Sealer, which is remarkably similar to the factory stuff. Looks pretty good.Here's our clutch linkage. The service manual for your car gives a detailed breakdown of the parts involved with any particular body or platform, though the basics are all the same; it is always a good idea to have it available for reference. We used the pieces scavenged from the F-Body donor car, which requires cutting off one of the bellcrank arms and "re-clocking" it, and re-drilling the bellhousing pivot to move it in line on an A-Body. The pushrods are fabricated. Obviously, the correct A-Body stuff will bolt right in. Year One has much of the required linkage available new for some Mopars.With the hump welded in, it's time to install the four-speed for real. The clutch fork pivot (arrow) is bolted inside the bell housing; make sure the pivot is sound, since they crack and break. The bell is then bolted to the back of the block. Any of the old Mopar service manuals detail how to check the bellhousing alignment, which is a good idea.Next the trans goes in to meet the bellhousing. This is a two-part operation since there isn't enough room to swing the trans and bellhousing in as an assembly without hitting the pinch weld on the floor pan. Note the disc-brake rotor support under the trans.The outer pivot point for A-Body clutch linkage is through the inner fender, just above the left framerail. The hole is already in the sheetmetal, but it won't survive one step of the clutch with-out the required reinforcement bracket, which welds to the framerail. Fabricate the bracket out of some 11/48-inch sheetmetal, turning up the edge to box it out like the stock piece, and weld it up.
Here's the finished linkage as seen from above the brake booster. The bellcrank needs to be straight across, with the pushrod in line with the clutch fork. A boot is required in the firewall where the pushrod goes through. We sourced a new one from Year One.The automatic's neutral safety switch wiring was cut off at the factory three-pin connector. The outer wires are actually for the reverse lamps, and were connected to the four-speed's reverse lamp switch with a couple of common female spade connectors. The middle wire is the relay ground for the neutral safety switch. It can be grounded or wired to the clutch pedal interlock switch if the car is so equipped.Short-extension 833 four-speeds are the same length as a 904 TorqueFlite, though all splined-output 833s have the large 727-sized output splines (except for some '67 short trannys). The driveshaft yoke will need to be changed to the large-splined version from a 727 or 833 if swapping from a 904. The yoke can be found in either large or small U-joint versions. 727s and long extension 833s are 3.81-inch longer, so the driveshaft needs to be lengthened a like amount.Underneath, with the clutch linkage, shifter, wiring, driveshaft, and speedo cable all hooked, as well as the two front splash shields bolted to the bellhousing, the swap is done.Cleaning Up the Column
Up top, we still had the stock automatic column-shift steering column. It could be just bolted back in with the shift stick removed, or we could have searched for a '67-'69 (dash ignition switch) A-Body power-steering (manual-steer columns are longer) floor-shift column. Instead, the column was torn down, and the offending protuberances were carefully hacked off the bearing and shift-housing castings. We molded remaining holes in the housings with fiberglass-reinforced bondo (Kitty Hair). It was tricky, but looked perfect when done.The modified column was painted and then bolted in, looking for all the world like a factory floor-shift column.

Many photographers will tell you that you should always use a tripod for best results. But what if I have the shutter speed set at 1/250 of a second? Just how much would the camera move or shake if I stand still on the ground, legs apart, and hold the camera firmly in my hands with elbows against my body? If we assume that the camera moves 1 mm just as I take the shot, how much would this, really affect the resulting image? Aren't they all just being over-dramatic?
Camera motion is usually measured in terms of angular size or arc: that is, how many degrees, minutes, seconds of arc the optical axis moves during the time the shutter is open. How much the same amount of motion affects the image is also determined by the angular size of the Field of View (FoV) yielded by a particular focal length and film/sensor size.
For the example in your question: At 1/250 second using good handheld techniques the amount of blur will depend upon the FoV. If you are using a wide angle lens such as one with an 18mm focal length, there will probably be very little detectable blur. If, on the other hand, you use a 600mm focal length there will probably be significant blur, especially if you are using an APS-C camera that reduces the FoV to the equivalent of a 900mm or so lens mounted on a 35mm format camera. The reason for this is that the same objects at the same distance from the camera cover over 1,000 times as many pixels using a 600mm lens as they do using an 18mm lens! (33.33*33.33=1,111.11)
Back in the days of 35mm film, the general rule of thumb was to use a shutter speed no slower than 1/focal length when hand holding the camera. This assumed a print display size of 8x10 inches viewed at a distance of 10 inches by a person with 20/20 vision. With digital sensors that are typically smaller, the focal length multiplier must be applied as well (1.5x for Nikon APS-C, 1.6x for Canon APS-C cameras). This still assumes the same viewing conditions, however. If you're going to view sections of the image at 100% on your computer monitor, then even the slightest blur that isn't detectable in an 8x10 at 10" will be evident.
The excellent lensrentals.com blog had an interesting article about this not so long ago.
Linked in the article is an Android app to measure just how much you shake the camera while holding it. Try it out for yourself.
Some of their results are (emphasis and formatting mine):
What does this all mean for your question
The longer the focal length, the more will angular movement (that's the movement relevant here) have an affect. If you rotate by one degree during the shutter opening time, the movement will be half as bad as rotating two degrees. Obvious, isn't it?
The 1/focal_length rule comes in here, because we first have to convert the focal length into viewed-angle through the lens.
The longer you open the shutter, the more time will your camera have to move. Here, a twice as long shutter period will not cause a blur twice as bad. To realise this, look at the chart shown in the linked blog. The Frequency-Amplitude curve is decaying with approximately a negative exponential. But as a first approximation, it is probably fine to say double shutter time means double the blur.
You can also learn to keep particularly still. Many photographers borrow ideas from military snipers. There is some technique involved on how to best hold your camera and then some more technique on how to breath and when to press the shutter button during your breathing cycle.
It depends on the lens and camera you are using in addition to other factors. If you are using a wide-angle lens then there would be no blur but if you're using a telephoto lens having focal length greater than 250 mm (provided there is no image stabilisation on the lens) then the shutter speed of 1/250 will most likely produce a blurred image. In addition to telephoto lens camera also plays a significant role in this , if you're using a APS-C sensor sized camera then due to the crop factor , the resultant focal length will be original focal length * crop factor , for example, for canon aps-c cameras crop factor is 1.6x so a 250mm focal length will become 400 mm and therefore on shooting with 400mm focal length at 1/250 s the image will most likely be blurred (as defined in 1/focal length rule).
Image Stabilisation also plays a significant role in this , some lenses provide image stabilisation (vibration reduction for nikon) upto 4 stops , so upto 4 less stops of shutter speed can be used to shoot the image , but it is still risky . So , it is best to shoot with a tripod as much as you can
Other factors are also there such how steady you can keep your hands which vary from people to people and which also depends on the weight of lens (as telephoto lens are usually heavy) and telephoto lens are more prone to this as slight angular variation can cause blurred images.
It really depends on several factors including the focal length and how steady you are. If you are very steady, it is fully possible to get sharp photos by hand at shorter focal length even down to the 1/60 or 1/30 range, particularly if you have an image stabilizing lens. At longer focal lengths with less steady hands, it can become a problem even around 1/250.
The problem isn't distance traveled (which only the most recent built in image stabilization technologies even try to deal with), but rather angular changes in the direction the camera is facing. We are pretty good at holding something still in terms of position, but far less so at keeping it pointed in the same direction. This is mostly because of how low tolerances are. When you are shooting a photo at super-telephoto lengths, very, very small changes in angle of the lens cause radical shifts in the image.
Optical image stabilization attempts to counter for this by using a floating lens element that is stabilized by gyros to maintain it's orientation and compensate for changes in angle of the lens, but there is still a limit to how much they can do before either a) introduces a noticeable and unacceptable lag in intentional panning, b) an unacceptable amount of weight and power consumption or c) simply goes outside the area that the lens is able to see and thus looks at the inside of the lens instead of the outside world.
Tripods are certainly the most steady, but monopods have a major impact on stability as well as it prevents you from having to support the full weight of the camera and gives a third point of stability (your two feet and the monopod). I'm pretty steady, but shooting with a monopod, I can shoot 1/60 second shots at 200mm without issue while using the optical image stabilizer. Doing that handheld would require considerable focus in addition to very steady hands.
Without any support, the 1/focal length rule is a decent guideline, but there can be a lot of variation from person to person (I've heard a range of 1/focal length to 1/(5*focal length)), so experimenting with your capabilities is still the best bet. But the general answer is no, you don't need to use a tripod for everything. It often won't even significantly improve your shot as long as blur isn't an issue for the shots you are shooting. Shooting 1/250, I'd rarely bother with a tripod unless I needed it for something like a panorama.
I use my Point-and-Shoot[PNS] camera at 1/60th of a sec with not much blur. I start getting blur at over 1/40th to 1/30th secs. I can post a few photos as proof if what I said seems totally bonkers.
Edit: PNS is point-n-shoot. Nothing official, just a way of saying it. And regarding people being over-dramatic about sharpness and stuff ...
"There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept." a great man once said :)
It's not an issue at 1/60 or faster, but at slower exposures it can be, and even at faster ones if there are high-contrast points in the scene, like small sources of light against a dark background, which leave obvious motion trails that detract from their shape.
When taking a freehand shot using the trigger on the camera, the main problem is that the button press and subsequent recoil add motion to the camera just before the moment of image acquisition.
To reduce trigger-induced camera movement during exposure when taking a freehand shot, without a tripod and external trigger, I use a short self-timer. The two second delay between the button push and image acquisition allows the camera to settle down to its regular background motion caused by the trembling of your hands.
You can reduce this background motion by keeping your wrists rigid, while remaining as relaxed as possible. The idea is that your hand, camera and forearm constitute a single, more or less rigid pendulum. This pendulum is fairly massive, and so it oscillates with a fairly low frequency. You only have to exercise maximal control over unwanted motion during the actual moment of exposure. By counting down along with the self timer, you know exactly when that moment comes.
With practice you can take decent low-light pictures down to 1/20 or so. Slower speeds than around 1/20 require stabilization.

1 fl. oz.
Helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and freckles to restore skin's natural, even tone.
All prices are suggested retail.
Q: How can TimeWise® Even Complexion Essence help my skin?A: Dark spots and skin discolorations are two telltale signs of too much sun exposure and aging skin. These factors can activate pigment-producing cells that form melanin, which eventually travels to the surface of the skin and causes freckles, dark spots and uneven coloration. TimeWise® Even Complexion Essence is clinically shown to help improve uneven skin tone in as little as four weeks. Formulated with our patent-pending Lucentrix® complex, it helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and the look of skin discoloration.
Q: Does TimeWise® Even Complexion Essence benefit all skin tones?A: Yes. The multifunctional Lucentrix® complex in this product was formulated to work on all skin tones, including ivory, beige and bronze, and all skin types. If you have skin imperfections such as age spots or damage due to sun exposure, you'll see improvements in the evenness of your skin with regular use. If you have bronze skin and experience dark spots or hyperpigmentation, you'll also see improvements with regular use.
Q: Should I use sunscreen in addition to TimeWise® Even Complexion Essence?A: Absolutely. TimeWise® Even Complexion Essence does not contain a sunscreen. To help prevent further damage to your skin, it's essential to use an SPF product such as TimeWise® Day Solution Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 35.*
Q: How long will it take to see an improvement in my skin?A: Damage to the skin doesn't happen overnight, and neither does the process to restore it. Some who use TimeWise® Even Complexion Essence may see results in as little as four weeks; others may have to wait longer to see results. With continuous, consistent use twice a day, you should see a more radiant, even complexion over time, especially if you add this product to your comprehensive, age-fighting skin care program, such as TimeWise® skin care.
Q: How does TimeWise® Even Complexion Essence fit into my skin care routine?A: For best results, you should apply TimeWise® Even Complexion Essence to your entire face and neck in the morning prior to applying sunscreen or moisturizers, such as TimeWise® Day Solution Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 35.* In the evening, you should apply it prior to applying any moisturizers or treatment products, such as TimeWise® Night Solution.
*Over-the-counter drug product
*As seen by a dermatologist in a 12-week clinical study
*Over-the-counter drug product **Use day or night, two or three times per week. Do not use the TimeWise® Microdermabrasion Plus Set (Steps 1 and 2) or TimeWise® Moisture Renewing Gel Mask, TimeWise® Even Complexion Mask, Botanical Effects® Mask on the same day; however, you may alternate their usage during the week/months. If you are going to use two of the products during the same week, you may want to limit the usage of each product to only two times per week.

Leagues Loaded - South Africa, Mexico, USA, South Korea, New Zealand, Argentina, Scotland, England, Australia and Ukraine
The Aim - Like all my games the aim is to win every continents Champions League trophy and become the greatest manager of all times. I have no aims on what order to do this in but I will not be starting unemployed as I want to check out a certain league for the first few seasons.
So I decided to go for a team in the MLS as it is a league I have only had one short stint in on one of my older Continental Dominance threads at Seattle. I checked every team in the MLS to find one that appealed, I did not fancy going with New York or LA Galaxy as I consider them to be too rich. I decided on Colorado who are 2010 Champions, I picked them because they had the most to work with, no designated player slots were taken which is a very important part of managing in the MLS. Unlike LA and New York they did not have that many foreign players meaning there are plenty of international slots to work with and being well under the league salary cap gives me room to change the squad as I see fit.

WEIRTON - Those who might be alone for the Thanksgiving, or simply don't feel like dealing with the stress of the holiday, can still enjoy a traditional feast with all the fixings.
A free community Thanksgiving dinner will be held Nov. 22, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Greater Weirton Senior Center.
The dinner, which will include everything from turkey and ham to potatoes, green beans, stuffing, rolls and desserts, is organized each year by the Weirton Ministerial Association.
"It is a free community dinner," Elder Michael Smith, secretary of the Ministerial Association, said. "Anyone is invited to come."
A delivery service also will be available for those interested in having the dinner but unable to make it to the senior center.
Those wishing to have their meal delivered, or anyone needing help with transportation, may call either (304) 748-3490 or (304) 748-4422 to make arrangements.
Fact Box
The free community Thanksgiving dinner, presented by the Weirton Ministerial Association, will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 22 at the Greater Weirton Senior Center.
Last year's dinner served approximately 250 takeout meals and 167 sit-down dinners.
Smith said a variety of games and other activities also will be available during the dinner.
"We do everything you would do at home," Smith said.
Everyone who comes to the dinner also will receive a fruit bag.
The Ministerial Association currently is accepting donations to assist with the costs of the dinner. Those interested in making a monetary donation can do so by mailing it to the Weirton Ministerial Association, P.O. Box 128, Weirton, or drop it off at the All Saints Greek Orthodox Church.
Anyone interested in helping the day of the dinner also is welcome, Smith said.

Given a symmetric bilinear form $f:V\times V \to K$ , where $V$ is a vectorspace and $K$ is an appropriate field, define the quadratic form $q:V \to K$ as $q(v):= f(v,v)$.
The Polarisation Formula states that $f(x,y) = 1/2\big( q(x+y) - q(x) - q(y)\big)$, which is easily proven.
This means that any symmetric bilinear form $f:V\times V \to K$ is fully determined by the values $f(v,v)$ for all $v \in V$.
I now want to prove the following theorem: Prove that any symmetric $k$-linear form $M:V\times\cdots \times V \to K$ is determined by the values $M[v]^k := M[v,...,v]$ for all $v\in V$.
How does that work?

- Place the sun-dried tomatoes and the water in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 minutes, or just until the tomatoes have plumped. Remove the pot from the heat, drain off any excess water, and set aside.
- Coarsely chop the artichoke hearts, and set aside.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 14-inch circle. (For a thick crust, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle.) Coat a 14-inch (or 12-inch) pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place the dough on the pan, forming a slight rim around the edges. Set the crust aside for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle first the mozzarella and then the provolone over the crust to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Top with the artichoke hearts and tomatoes, and sprinkle with the Italian seasoning.
- Bake at 425°F for about 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is lightly browned. Slice and serve immediately.

text: Blinky Palermo was born Peter Schwarze in Leipzig in 1943. He and his twin brother, Michael, grew up as adopted children under the name Heisterkamp. In 1962, he entered the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where he studied with Bruno Goller and then with Joseph Beuys and, in 1964, adopted the name Blinky Palermo, which he appropriated from the American boxing promoter-cum-mafioso Frank "Blinky" Palermo, famous for being the manager of heavyweight champion Sonny Liston. In 1968, Palermo showed his wall drawings at the Galerie Heiner Friedrich, Munich. After visiting New York with Gerhard Richter in 1970, he established a studio there in 1973. Palermo died in 1977, while traveling in the Maldives. The Times of the Day series (1974–76) was first shown at the Heiner Friedrich Gallery, New York, in summer 1978. Before his death, Palermo partici- pated in more than seventy exhibitions and represented Germany at the São Paulo Bienal in 1975. He has had posthumous retrospectives at the Kunstmuseum Winterthur, Switzerland (1984); the Kunstmuseum Bonn (1993); Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) (2002–3); the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf (2007–8); and Dia:Beacon and the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York (CCS Bard) (2011).

Discover wine and good times in the Helderberg
A visit to Cape Town is not complete without a drive out to the Helderberg region of the Cape – the areas around Somerset West, Gordon's Bay and the Strand, that lie under the shadow of the Helderberg Mountains (Afrikaans for "clear mountain").
Apart from the prestigious wine estates in this area (there are some 40 estates to be found in the Helderberg), it's also a great location for cultural and outdoor activities, as well as fine dining.
Check out our list of recommended things to see and do in the Helderberg:
How to get there
The Helderberg is less than an hour's drive out of Cape Town, and to fully explore the area, you'll need some wheels. For affordable and flexible car hire rates for a large variety of vehicles, we recommend Cars 4 Afrika. If you're planning on enjoying the wine, call Cape County Charter Service and let them do the driving. And if you really want to travel in style, The League of Gentlemen offer a chauffeur-driven luxury vehicle service for this area.
Where to stay
There's no shortage of accommodation in the Helderberg – with options ranging from five-star hotels to affordable backpackers, there's something to suit your pocket, and your vibe. If you're looking for a seaside feel, check out our list of places to stay in the Strand, and our list of places to stay in Gordon's Bay. For somewhere greener with great mountain views, see our list of places to stay in Somerset West.
Where to eat
Eat for a good cause! Imibala Restaurant in Somerset West is part of the Imibala Trust, a programme that helps provide education to underprivileged children in the area. Profits from the restaurant help cover admin costs.
Sometimes, all you need is a good steak. If that's what you're after, head to the Cattle Baron Steak Ranch in Somerset West – you won't be disappointed.
What to do
For adrenaline junkies, Blue Rock Cable Waterski is a must-do! Bring your own equipment or hire theirs, and try your hand (or rather, knees) at kneeboarding, waterskiing and wakeboarding.
If you're after something a little gentler, try the Schapenberg Walks for Biodiversity & Wine. Here you get to explore the region's rich biodiversity areas, and sample some local wines while you do it.
For the golf aficionados, there's always Erinvale Golf Course, designed by arguably the most famous South African golfer – Gary Player.
The Helderberg has a fascinating history, and the Lwandle Migrant Labour Museum sheds light on some it, while also being the starting point of the Lwandle township walking tour.
Kids will love Monkey Town Primate Centre, a place that over 230 animals call home. This wildlife centre for apes and monkeys is both educational and entertaining, and well worth a visit.
Experiencing a Taste of Helderberg
Time your visit to catch this year's Taste of Helderberg Wine Show, a one-night only treat for your inner foodie or wine connoisseur. You'll get to enjoy signature dishes from some of the region's best restaurants, sample cheeses, olives, and of course, the top estates in the region will have their finest wines on offer here too.
Since 1999, Vergelegen Estate and its wines have earned more than 200 awards. Look out for them at this year's show.
Morgenster Wine Estate is a thriving olive and wine farm, producing Bordeaux-style wines and award-winning extra virgin olive oil and olive products. Try some of their olives at the festival and decide for yourself!
The festival is being held at The NH Lord Charles Hotel in Somerset West, the perfect setting for a great evening of delicious treats. While you're there, play a giant game of chess or explore their expansive grounds. And if all the good food, wine and scenery make you want to stay the night, you can! The hotel is offering an accommodation special on the evening.
The doors will be open from 17h00 to 21h00 and tickets cost R70 per person, which include an elegantly branded wine glass.
To book tickets, call +27 (0) 21 981 0216 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
During and after the wine tastings, guests can relax in cosy chill areas or make use of the hotel's restaurant for dinner. Pre-bookings for the restaurant are recommended to avoid disappointment. Call 021 855 1040 to make a reservation.

I'm looking for a proof that the Pontryagin dual $G^*$ of a topological group $G$ is a topological group.
It's very easy to prove that $G^*$ is a group, my troubles are in proving that the map $G^* \times G^* \to G^* : (f,g) \mapsto fg^{-1}$ is continuous and so $G^*$ is topological.
I read in "Rudin - Fourier Analysis on Groups" a proof that $G^*$ is a Locally Compact Abelian group when $G$ is LCA, but it's too much for my purposes and the proof involves the Fourier transform and so the Haar measure, I think these tools are not necessary.
Thanks very much for any suggestions.

Ubuntu ripped a CD for me into audio files but they are all .ogg format which I can't play on my MP3 player.
How can I convert .ogg files to .mp3 files?
Ubuntu ripped a CD for me into audio files but they are all .ogg format which I can't play on my MP3 player.
How can I convert .ogg files to .mp3 files?
There's several ways you can do this. Probably the easiest is to use a tool called ogg2mp3. Details on the Ubuntu forums about how do install it:
While this is an RPM for Mandrake, it should work fine after running it through alien and installing the .deb. And in the future, you can use lame to rip CDs in mp3 format as it's installed in the first step.
As is commonly pointed out, converting from one lossy format (ogg) to another (mp3) will degrade the quality of the music. But its better than not being able to play the music on your portable device at all ;).
Transcoding from one lossy format (vorbis) to another (MP3) is not ideal, but unfortunately it is necessary sometimes, especially if one has an ageing audio device. The command-line tool avconv can do this well (ffmpeg uses identical syntax).
will give you a variable bit rate MP3: this means that the encoder will alter the bit rate depending on the needs of the music. Dubstep needs a higher bit rate than whalesong. On average, over several pieces of music, -q:a 2 will get you 190 kbit/s, though most of them will be over or under that bitrate.
The quality setting
To convert a directory full of oggs vorbis to MP3 (on the Linux or OSX command-line), use
Sometimes people need to use a constant bit rate, for some really obsolete hardware, or for streaming. If that is the case,
This would be of broadly the same quality as
If you want a GUI frontend, WinFF might be worth looking at.
If you install the package
SoX is the Swiss Army Knife of sound processing utilities http://sox.sourceforge.net/
its like vlc for audio files. It is so old it was ported to the Amiga in 1994.
You'll find the application Sound Converter in the menu under Sounds & Video Very easy to use GUI, does the job. To install Sound Converter search for it in the Ubuntu Software Center or open the terminal and run the command:
CDex. The best Windows-based ripping and conversion tool ever. Open source. It's been a while since I used it last, it's not intuitive but once you figure it out it's very powerful.
If you're looking for an easy to use application, try soundconverter for GNOME or soundkonverter for KDE (both available from the repositories). If you prefer CLI applications, you can't do much better than Perl Audio Converter. There's a Debian/Ubuntu package on the Downloads page there.
Of course, the best answer is to re-rip from the CD to avoid loss of quality. By converting from one lossy format to another, it's like making a photocopy of a photocopy. Quality suffers.
online tool to convert ogg files, no downloads
works better on smaller files because it's web based
GPodder will convert .OGG to .MP3 directly unless you tell it your device supports Ogg containers. Look in the repostitories, it's there.
You can learn WHY Ubuntu ripped your CD to Vorbis here.
fre:ac is the best audio converter that I have found. Fast, free, open-source, multiple platforms (Windows, OS X, Linux, BSD, etc.) and an easy-to-use UI.

Welcome to my first ever CYOP, You Find Yourself in a Series of Rooms, and here's something I want to tell you:
I do not accept non-serious posts in CYOPs. I despise people who assume they are funny by going as the first possible action "trololol masturbate" but end up looking just like dummies. That's why every time you make an action that I find unfitting for the situation such as above, you will get a warning. Three warnings, and you're banned from my next game. Hopefully everyone understands this rather simple system and we can all enjoy the game. Thanks for listening.

Let k be a finite field, G the k-points of GL_2, T1, T2 the k-points of the split and non-split tori of G.
Then the G-representations C[G/T1] and C[G/T2] are almost the same. More precisely, they differ by two copies of a certain irreducible representation (the Steinberg). I might have slightly miscomputed, but the point is that the decomposition of C[G/T1] and C[G/T2] into irreducibles is much more similar than what you might naively expect.
Question: Is there a general phenomenon, of which this is a special case?
Edit added: it seems like a corresponding alternating sum over tori for GL_3 might be six copies of the Steinberg, see comment below.

Scenario that might demonstrate different behavior for SELECTS depending on the isolation level:
1) 0:00 Thread A runs a query that returns 1000 rows that takes 5 minutes to complete
2) 0:02 Thread B runs a query that returns the same 1000 rows
3) 0:05 Thread A updates the last 1 rows in this result set and commits them
4) 0:07 Thread B's query returns*
Depending on the isolation level, the result set in #4 will either contain Thread A's changes or it won't. Is the same true for UPDATES?
The following is an example scenario:
Thread A: UPDATE... set version=6 ... WHERE primary_key = 1234 AND version = 5
Thread B: UPDATE... set version=6 ... WHERE primary_key = 1234 AND version = 5
If both Thread A and Thread B enter their transactions at the same time, and Thread B performs its update after Thread A, will Thread B's update fail to update any rows or will it "see" the record with version 5 and therefore overwrite what Thread A wrote?
Does it depend on the database? e.g. Oracle vs MySql vs PostgreSQL?


text: Now I'm not quite sure what type of monster Dean Hardscrabble supposed to be because even though she looks like a dragon, her lower body says otherwise. Here is "how to draw Dean Hardscrabble", step by step. The more characters I do from Monsters University the more it reminds me of 'Old School'. For those of you that watched that movie before you should know that there was a Dean that was also very stern and vindictive. I don't know if Hardscrabble is like that, but I'm assuming she is because of her still stern image. Her full name is actually Dr. Abigail Hardscrabble, but in this case we will call her either Dean Hardscrabble or just Hardscrabble. Either way drawing her will be fun because after all, she does look like some sort of dragon. Ta ta folks and enjoy.

I have a lot of systems of equations and inequalities of the following form:
$$ a_{1,1}x+a_{1,2}y+a_{1,3}z+a_{1,4}w = 2 $$ $$ \ldots $$ $$ 0 < x < 2 $$ $$ 0 < y < 2 $$ $$ 0 < z < 2 $$ $$ 0 < w < 2 $$
There are always at least two equations, and I probably won't consider cases with more than twenty equations. All coefficients $a_{i,j}$ are positive integers and some can be zero. We also have the property that $\sum_{j=1}^4a_{i,j}\geq3$ for all $i$. The solutions are real numbers.
I don't need to solve these systems, but I need to be able to tell whether there exists a solutions. If it isn't possible to tell for each system whether it is consistent or not, any method which identifies as many inconsistent systems as possible is greatly appreciated.
I have a few hundred millions of these systems, so I'm specifically looking for things that can easily be turned into a program. (I know the basic techniques to do this by hand, and am looking for some handy tricks that can be done by a computer. I have some programming experience, but not really with programming this kind of problems.)

The next tasting is scheduled to have a theme. I've been toying with the idea of comparing official 15yo malts:- Glenfarclas, Glendronach, Springbank, Glenfiddich and Bowmore - although Balvenie single cask would ideally be in the line up it's just not as simple to source. However I think we'll go for 5 original bottlings at 100 proof, almost certainly:-
Arran, Springbank, Longrow
But then I'm struggling. Glenfarclas 105 perhaps, it appears there is a travel retail exclusive Bowmore and I saw a Macallan when I was at the distillery but that was a while ago. Can anybody think of others? Laphroaig stopped quite a while ago.
PS finding the Macnabb's blend has turned out to be the biggest challenge yet.
