Be Observant. Poker players live and die by their ability to read opponents— their quirks, tendencies, patterns of behavior. In a live game, body language and tone of voice add more invaluable information. Put your opponent on the correct hands and no amount of bad luck can keep you down for long. Fail to put your opponent on the right hands, or, worse yet, don't even try because you can't be bothered to think about anything beyond your own two cards, and no amount of good luck will save you in the long run.
The power of observation is just as crucial in the real world. Whether the person sitting across the table from you is your boss, your customer, your enemy, or the love of your life—everybody has cards they don't want to show. Only by reading people can you get a feeling for what those cards are. Is this a good time to approach your boss about a promotion? Is it a good time to ask the object of your affection to move in together? Will they be receptive and call your bet, or will they fold and walk away?
Pick Your Battles. In a poker game, aggression must be selective or else you're no better than a maniac on tilt. Away from the poker table, it's no different. Life is full of problems and power struggles that get our aggressive juices flowing, but they're not always winnable or worth the effort. Unfortunately, there is always a limit to how much time, energy, and money you can throw at any given problem. So pick the ones that matter the most to you and focus your efforts on those. Whether you're at work fighting for an assignment, or at home watching TV fighting over the remote control, know when to fight—and when to fold and wait for a better spot.
Consider The Risk vs. Reward. Winning poker players always consider the pot odds. All things being equal, if you're drawing to a two-outer with one card to come (a 22-to-1 shot), you're not going to call if the pot is only giving you 3-to-1 odds. The reward just doesn't justify the risk in that scenario. The same logic applies to many non-poker decisions. You find yourself faced with a choice to invest something— your time, your money, the sweat of your brow—for the opportunity of some potential payoff down the line. But there is always a risk involved, even if it's "only" the loss of your wasted time and energy. If you're investing in a company, either directly or through buying a stock, what's the risk the company will go bankrupt versus the chance they will hit it big and make you rich? And what's the risk to your personal finances? Can you afford to lose that money if the company does go belly-up? Poker teaches us that before we put our money on the line, we need to think it through.
Learn to Lose. If not gracefully, then at least without going on tilt. The most painful lesson that poker teaches us is that losing is inevitable sometimes. The more often you play the game, the more you're destined to run up against soul-crushing bad beats and brutal losing streaks. But if you play smart and keep your cool, the loss is never permanent. It's the same story away from the poker table. Most of us have gone on life-tilt at one time or another. Losing love, losing a job, losing health, money, status, or anything else that matters to us— can be excruciating. It can bring the strongest person in the world to his knees. But we make the problem infinitely worse if we use that loss as an excuse to fall into a downward spiral. As the old saying goes, Keep calm and carry on, because if there's one thing poker teaches us, it's that bad luck never lasts forever.

Report Reveals Flaws With NYPD's Collection of Crime Stats
(Christopher Robbins) The NYPD's manipulation and suppression of crime statistics has been thoroughly substantiated, and yesterday an independent committee released a report that reveals serious flaws with the NYPD's system of cataloguing crime. The report [PDF], written by three former federal prosecutors, provides insight into how numbers and complaints are twisted to benefit cops and their superiors, which in turn affects the crime numbers touted by public officials at press conferences. "A close review of the NYPD's statistics and analysis demonstrate that the misclassifications of reports may have an appreciable effect on certain reported crime rates," the report states.
Crimes most susceptible to downgrading usually involve stolen property. The report states that larcenies are downgraded to "lost property," and robberies are downgraded to larcenies as the police "failed to accurately reflect the element necessary to escalate the crime from a larceny to a robbery, such as the forcible nature of the taking or the multiple perpetrators."

Dennis Miller on LAPD beating: "Yeah! Get him!"
Research ››› ››› JEREMY CLUCHEY
The same day NBC News correspondent George Lewis reported on NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw that FOX News Channel's FOX & Friends co-hosts E.D. Hill and Brian Kilmeade had laughed about the videotaped beating of an African American man by white police officers -- an act a top LAPD official described as "Rodney King-esque" -- CNBC's Dennis Miller aired the tape of the beating on the June 25 show, with producer and host Dennis Miller narrating the footage.
From the June 25 edition of CNBC's Dennis Miller:
MILLER: Officials in Los Angeles are vowing to bring to justice any police officers who broke the law during -- [as the officer strikes the suspect repeatedly] Yeah! Get him! -- ooh, sorry, who broke the law during the beating of a suspected car thief.

WATCH: Lindsay Lohan gets soaked playing 'Water War' on 'Tonight Show'
Lindsay Lohan appeared on Thursday's "Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," and talked about appearing on the host's first show, doing a guest spot on "Two Broke Girls," a possible Mean Girls reunion, and her documentary series and friendship with Oprah.
She also got soaked with a LOT of water.
Lohan and the late-night host played his infamous card game "Water War," where the loser of each hand gets splashed with glasses of water.
The actress was the first to get doused, but she later brought out the big (water) gun — literally.
Check out the hilarious video below!

Don Mackay to star in 'The Winter's Tale'
Don Mackay
Veteran movie and television actor Donald Sage Mackay will star in University's presentation of William Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale April 16 - 25 in Drayton Hall Theater. It is the final mainstage production of Theatre South Carolina's 2009-10 season.
Mackay, whose recent film credits include Michael Bay's Transformers 2 and who has had guest appearances this season on television's NCIS and Criminal Minds, will play the role of King Leontes. Guest artist Kathleen Conlin will direct.
The Winter's Tale is considered one of Shakespeare's most difficult plays because of its abrupt shift from tragedy to comedy. The uncontrollable jealousy of King Leontes of Sicilia brings his family to ruin and severs the alliance between two powerful monarchs. Only the love of a daughter believed to be lost forever can heal the rift and bring about the king's absolution.
Kathleen Conlin
"This is a phenomenal story about relationships and what true fidelity is," said Conlin, whose affiliation with the highly regarded Utah Shakespearean Festival spans more than 20 years. "It has that sense of what it means to define the word, 'commitment,' beyond contemporary psychology. What does it mean in terms of values and the way a spiritual relationship evolves from a commitment? It's also about rediscovering your family again and all that that means."
Show time is 8 p.m. on the following days: Friday, April 16; Wednesday, April 21; Thursday, April 22; and Friday, April 23. Show time is 7 p.m. on both Saturdays (April 17 and 24), plus an 11 p.m. showing on the first Saturday. The Sunday, April 25, performance will be a 3 p.m. matinee.
Tickets are $16 for the public; $14 for military, USC faculty and staff; and $10 for students. Tickets are half price for the April 17 late show. To purchase tickets, go to the Longstreet Theater Box Office or call the box office at 777-2551.
The University of South Carolina's production of The Winter's Tale is sponsored in part through a co-educational agreement with the Shakespeare Theatre in Washington, D.C.

Made for a man
By Sally
from Santa Barbara, CA
Found this on sale on the internet site. Description did not say they were very very large in the hand - way too big for this woman. Not worth returning, will give to someone else with LARGE hands. They are good quality, thick and warm, visually a bit blah, and just too big. I'n not sure how the model in the picture managed to make them look like they would fit a woman's hand.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

By HDH
from new hampshire
I bought 2 pairs one for my husband because he has to have lab work often, he wears these on the way to get his blood drawn. Usually it takes 3-4 times to get the needle in (his hands are always ice cold) but with these he doesn't dread the trip in so much the warmer a persons hands the easier it is to find a vein to draw the blood. the 2nd pair I gave to a friend with rainoids she wears them almost 24hrs a day, they have helped with her pain on a daily basis.
soft and warm

I am in love...these armwarmers are the softest, warmest, most touchable fabric imaginable. The only downside is they only have a thumbhole...a half-thumb would only increase the funtionality.

SAN BERNARDINO - A new city manager will be in place one month from now when Acting City Manager Andrea Travis-Miller leaves, Mayor Pat Morris pledged Friday.
Travis-Miller, who has been acting city manager since May, accepted a job as executive director of the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments starting Feb. 19.
That will require cutting short the nationwide, multi-finalist recruitment process the city has used to fill other top spots, but Travis-Miller leaving without an assistant city manager in place necessitates it, said Morris, who has responsibility under the city's charter to appoint a candidate who must then be approved by the City Council.
"That was a time-honored process, in my view," he said, referring to the exhaustive search for a police chief and others brought to the city during his tenure. "But in this instance, we haven't got the time to go through that kind of nationwide process and a culling process."
Despite the time pressure, Morris said he's already reached out to many groups - from the League of California Cities to consultants and the San Bernardino City Council - and is confident an effective city manager will be found soon.
"This is a wonderful opportunity," he said.
Morris ticked off some of the grueling tasks that will be on the city manager's plate - moving the city through bankruptcy court, preparing a permanent budget plan that satisfies the court, dealing with the complicated aftermath of the governor disbanding the city Redevelopment Agency - and laughed that the challenge could be a selling point.
"Whoever comes to this city as our next talented city manager will not be bored," he said.
Councilman John Valdivia, who has criticized Travis-Miller, saying she's been slow to respond to council members, said there's no need to rush.
"I don't know if it is the time to contemplate that," Valdivia said. "I think we (the City Council) could manage our own departments. Outside of a city manager having the title, I don't really know what a city manager does."
Valdivia's description of the ideal city manager, who is in charge of managing the city on a day-to-day basis, largely matched the qualities others listed - responsive, strong budget experience, good temperament - but he got the impression most city managers just attended meetings.
"I just don't want to box ourselves in with a longterm person if we can manage it for the short term and kind of manage things," he said.
Other council members said finding a good city manager soon was critical - either on an interim basis or more permanently - although some said related policy goals should be tied in.
"Whoever the new city manager is, interim or otherwise, this city must and shall adopt an economic strategic plan and we must and we shall adopt some goals and develop a work program similar to the city of Highland," said Councilman Chas Kelley, referring to a roadmap developed by the council and citizens showing the city's top priorities.
Every council member will have a few things that are particularly important to them and should communicate those to the mayor, said Councilwoman Virginia Marquez.
"Each council member will have their own wish list," she said, "and I really would prefer a city manager candidate who resides in our city in order to understand our residents and business owners, and just as importantly, I'd like that city manager candidate to have strong leadership skills."
All of that is being considered, Morris said.
"We're working day and night," he said.

DERRICK GARDNERAffiliation:
Derrick Gardner & The Jazz Prophets, Michigan State University Jazz Faculty, Harry Connick, Jr. Big Band
Artist's BiographyJazz trumpeter Derrick Gardner, inspired by the finest hard-blowing funky bop bands of the 1960s, is working to extend that great tradition as a performer, composer and arranger, and as a full-time college educator.
Derrick quickly made his mark on the New York City jazz scene after arriving in the Big Apple in 1991. and it has enabled him to travel the world playing top-flight jazz – including five years in the Count Basie Orchestra (1991 to 1996 plus occasional guest appearances that have continued into 2007), as well as work in Frank Foster's Loud Minority Band, Harry Connick Jr.'s Big Band, The Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra and Swiss tenor player Roman Schwaller's European sextet.
Derrick formed his own sextet, The Jazz Prophets, in 1991, and 17 years later it continues to be the primary vehicle of his distinctive, hard-driving music. Derrick's latest recording by The Jazz Prophets, A Ride to the Other Side.., marked his Owl Studios label debut in March 2008. Like Slim Goodie, his highly regarded first recording as a leader on his own Impact Jazz imprint in 2005, it bubbles with the long-standing collective's sheer love of the soulful, funky jazz sound for which Cannonball Adderley and Horace Silver built solid foundations with their 1950s and '60s ensembles. Only they're taking that sound into new, invigorating territory. The band's three-man horn line, consisting of Derrick, tenor sax player Rob Dixon and Derrick's brother, trombonist Vincent Gardner of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, has been together since the beginning.
Born June 3, 1965 in Chicago, Derrick began playing trumpet at age 9 and rapidly developed as a player and a soloist, regarded highly throughout high school and college at Virginia's Hampton University as an imaginative and strong improviser. As jazz journalist Ken Franckling points out in the liner notes for A Ride to the Other Side.., Derrick is "a Clifford Brown disciple with tinges of Freddy Hubbard and Woody Shaw thrown in for good measure, all in service of a sound and a band that are extending the funky soul-swing evolution."
In addition to his own recordings, Derrick has performed on multiple recordings with the Count Basie Orchestra, including the Grammy-winning The Count Basie Orchestra Live at Manchester Craftman's Guild, with the New York Voices in 1997, and four sessions with Harry Connick Jr., including 2007's Hurricane Katrina-inspired Oh, My Nola. In addition to recording and touring with the Harry Connick Jr. Big Band, an affiliation that continues as his schedule permits, Derrick was the featured trumpet soloist in the Broadway musical Thou Shalt Not, for which Harry Connick Jr. wrote the music and lyrics.
He has also been a sideman on recordings by arranging mentor and close friend Frank Foster, Carlos Garnett, Stefon Harris, Roman Schwaller and Liz Wright, among others. His work has brought him to Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, Japan, South Africa and Thailand as well as many premier venues in the United State, working over the past 15 years with a tremendous litany of artists that includes late Dizzy Gillespie, George Benson, Frank Foster, Jon Faddis, Nancy Wilson, Tony Bennett, Joe Williams, Rufus Reid, Clark Terry, Kenny Baron, Stefon Harris and James Moody just to name a few.
In 2002, bassist Rodney Whitaker, who now runs the Jazz Studies program at the Michigan State University College of Music, recruited Derrick to join the MSU faculty full-time as an assistant professor of jazz trumpet. Derrick's decision to move from New York to East Lansing, Mich., brought him full-circle. He lived there in the mid-1970s, when his parents, music educators, were working on their doctorates at Michigan State. His mother, Dr. Effie Gardner, is a classically trained pianist, organist and choral director, now retired from Hampton University, where she chaired the Department of Music. His father, Dr. Burgess Gardner, is a jazz trumpeter/composer/arranger who has played and recorded with many jazz greats through the years, including Nancy Wilson, Count Basie, Louis Bellson, Ray Charles, Woody Herman and two of Derrick's primary influences – Horace Silver and Cannonball Adderley, as well as R&B great Etta James and zydeco star C.J. Chenier.

Still Suffering After 2 Years
I had a miscarriage back in April of 2010, in September of the same year I found myself pregnant with my daughter. Now, almost 2 years later, I find that there are still times that I think about the baby that I lost (I was only 2 months pregnant at the time) and even though it's highly improbable, if not impossible, there are also times that I wonder if maybe my daughter is in fact that baby. Maybe the emotions regarding the miscarriage just overwhelm me to make me wonder that. is there any one else who has suffered emotions like this so long after a loss?

I am very sorry that you are still suffering after your loss. I have known other women who had miscarriages and some - many years later - still grieve the loss of their little angels. It's not something you will ever forget but hopefully over time your pain will become less and less.
I will share something with you that I honestly have only told a few people but I think it relates to how you feel about your daughter. I was about 7 weeks pregnant and my husband and I had an early pregnancy class that we went to. While there I told the nurse running the class about a "pulling" I was experiencing. She recommended that I call my doctor, so I did and they scheduled an ultrasound to make sure I didn't have an ectopic pregnancy. The night after the class I had a dream.
In it I was at the doctor's office. A nurse said she needed to take the baby but we could put back at a later time. I said "Okay" and I told the little fetus (It looked just like those VERY early pictures you see of fetuses) it was going to be fine. The nurse would put it back when the time was right, but now was not the time and I said see you soon and gave it a kiss.
I went in to my ultrasound and while I was indeed pregnant there was no baby to be found. They waited a week and did another ultrasound no baby. One more week still no baby. I was told I had a blighted ovum and while my body was doing all of the things it was supposed to do to take care of a pregnancy, there just wasnt a baby there. I was told I could either wait to miscarry or have a D&C. I opted for the surgery because the suffering and emptiness I felt was almost too much for me.
After a year and a half later I became pregnant with twins. I have always thought one of them was my first baby and he was put back because the time was right and he was supposed to have a twin brother I know it sounds silly (maybe even a little crazy) but it makes me feel better. It has been almost 7 years since that blighted ovum and I still get teary when I relive that time because it was so disappointing and painful but then I look at my boys and I am sooooooooooo thankful!
Best to you Jocelyn!

I think your feelings are really quite normal. I have had two miscarriages, the first was over seven years ago and very early. However, I still thing about the baby I lost and get sentimental about that baby at times. No matter how early in pregnancy a loss occurs, it is still a loss. I've gone on to have four beautiful, healthy babies, but that does not erase the pain I feel for the children I lost. It is hard thing to go through. The disappointment is heartbreaking and emotions run high.
I wish the best for you and that you find peace with your loss. However, it is OK to grieve for that pregnancy. It is normal and you are not alone.
3rd April 2012 01:06 AM #4
I think what everyone has described above is very normal after experiencing the heartbreaking loss of a miscarriage.
Jocelyn - I know what you mean. I got pregnant with my son 2 months after experiencing a miscarriage and sometimes I feel like they were the same baby even though most of the time I know this can't be the case. I don't understand why miscarriages happen to so many women but I think the knowledge and pain that you have lost a baby will never leave a women. There will always be a candle in my heart which burns for my lost baby. I think that's something which is hard to appreciate by those who have not experienced losing a baby.
With best wishes,

That is just about the most beautiful story I think I will ever read. Jocelyn, a year has passed since you last wrote. How are you fairing?
I have experienced a number of losses, the most profound of which was a little girl at 13 weeks of pregnancy - Annabelle.
A year later I had another daughter carried by a surrogate. She is 8 now during her early years she often talked to me about the time before she was born, waiting with her sister Annabelle.
After my daughter's the birth, the pain of not carry a baby myself remained raw - actually got worse. I pursued my dream for another 6 years through many losses until finally I succeeded, giving birth to... another little girl!
Shortly before my successfully IVF transfer I had a dream. By this stage the thought of a transfer filled me with dread. I was running out of chances and feared facing the end.
In the dream I was walking through a empty place - all white and light. I could feel the weight of my sadness. Then I become aware of a presence next to me but could not see anything physically. Then a very gentle voice spoke to me. It was like a whisper - everywhere and nowhere all at once. The voice said very gently 'Hold on. You can do it. I will be back very soon.'
To this day I am certain the voice was my Annabelle. Every day I look at the daughter I carried and wonder if she could be the same child - the same soul that was my Annabelle, that came to me in a dream to urge me to hold on, and who finally was reborn to this Earth to help heal her mother's broken heart.

I made it to 7 months. 2013 in January I lost him. My first child and I was forced to still deliver because of how far along I was. Images still haunt me sometimes. How are ways I can cope?

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Have you had some support following the birth of your baby? There are organisations that support women following loss such as Angel Babies and Kids and Sids.

I have never heard of those organizations. I really haven't spoken about it to people. I will take a look at the sites. Thank you.

How are you getting on Caprice? Have you managed to get in touch with any of those support organisations?
Thinking of you,

(a) convey to the United States title to all tribal, allotted, assigned, and inherited lands or interests therein belonging to the Indians of the tribe, and title to all undivided interests in such allotted or inherited lands owned by non-Indians or by Indian nonmembers of the tribe, required by the United States for the reservoir to be created by the construction of the dams across the Missouri River in South Dakota, to be known as Fort Randall Dam, including such lands along the margins as may be required by the Chief of Engineers, Department of the Army, for the protection, development, and use of said reservoir: Provided, That the contract may provide for retention by the owners of any oil and gas rights in such lands that are not needed by the United States for the protection of such dam and reservoir;
(b) provide for the payment of—
(1) just compensation for the lands and improvements and interests therein conveyed by the contract;
(2) costs of relocating the tribe and its members who reside upon the lands conveyed by the contract in a manner that will reestablish and protect their economic, social, religious, and community life;
(3) costs of relocating Indian cemeteries, tribal monuments, and shrines located upon the lands conveyed by the contract.
(c) Provide a schedule of dates for the orderly removal of the Indians and their personal property from the taking area of the Fort Randall Reservoir within the reservation; and
(d) State that the payments authorized to be made shall be in full and complete settlement of all claims by the tribe and its members against the United States arising because of the construction of the Fort Randall project.
The just compensation payable for the individual property of any person conveyed pursuant to subsection (a) of section 2 of this Act shall be judicially determined, if such person rejects the compensation specified in the contract with the tribe, in proceedings instituted for such purpose by the Department of the Army in the United States district court for the district in which the lands are situated.
Page 629
To assist the negotiators in arriving at the amount of just compensation payable for the property conveyed pursuant to subsection (a) of section 2 of this Act, the Secretary of the Interior and the Chief of Engineers, Department of the Army, shall cause to be prepared an appraisal schedule on an individual tract basis of the tribal, allotted, and assigned lands, including heirship interests therein, located within the taking area in each reservation. The appraisal schedule shall show the fair market value of the lands, giving full and proper weight to the following elements of appraisal, among others: Improvements, severance damage, standing timber, mineral rights, and the uses to which the lands are reasonably adapted. The appraisal schedule shall be transmitted to the representatives of the tribe appointed to negotiate a contract, and shall be used, together with any other appraisals which may be available, as a basis for determining the amount of just compensation to be included in the contract.
The specification in section 2 of this Act of certain provisions to be included in each contract shall not preclude the inclusion of other provisions beneficial to the Indians who are parties of such contracts.
Each contract negotiated pursuant to this Act shall be submitted to the Congress for approval. The Chief of Engineers, Department of the Army, and the Secretary of the Interior are requested to submit such contract within one year from the date of approval of this Act. If the negotiating parties are unable to agree on a proposed contract each party shall submit to the Congress separate detailed reports of the negotiations, together with their recommendations. In the event the negotiating parties are unable to agree on any provision in the proposed contracts such provision shall be included in an appendix to the contract, together with the views of each party, for consideration and determination by Congress. The contract shall not take effect unless, after determination of any disputed provision, it is ratified by Act of Congress and is ratified within six months after such action by the Congress by a majority of the adult members of the tribe: Provided, That when so ratified the contract shall constitute a taking by the United States as of the date the contract was signed by the Chief of Engineers, Department of the Army, and the Secretary of the Interior, for purposes of determining the ownership of the Indian tribal, allotted, and assigned lands and interests therein.
Nothing in this Act shall be construed to restrict completion of the Fort Randall Dam to provide flood protection and other benefits on the Missouri River.
There is hereby authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary of the Interior the sum of $106,500, which shall be available until expended for the purpose of relocating the members of the Yankton Sioux Tribe, South Dakota, who reside or have resided, on tribal and allotted lands acquired by the United States for the Fort Randall Dam and Reservoir project, Missouri River Development, in a manner that will reestablish and protect their economic, social, religious, and community life. Title to any lands acquired within Indian country pursuant to this section shall be taken in the name of the United States in trust for the Yankton Sioux Tribe or members thereof. The said sum of $106,500 shall be assessed against the costs of the Fort Randall Dam and Reservoir, Missouri River Development.
Approved, July 6, 1954.

randy brown architects, omaha, neb.
Randy Brown, FAIA, LEED AP, is opposed to the typical suburban production home, so he designed the Elm model of the Hidden Creek 12-unit project to fly in the face of convention. One judge liked that it is a "house form that has some potential to be modified."
Because the development is adjacent to a nature preserve, Brown sited the house on a small lot and planted it with native grasses to promote natural drainage. "The high density and limited yard space work, because homeowners can easily walk the trails and use the public park," he says.
Brown and his team arranged the modular house to animate the street and built it with an energy-efficient shell, geothermal and radiant heating, and recycled lumber, among other sustainable features. A "DIY" sod roof made with containers from The Home Depot provide additional green space. The firm kept costs in check with simple interior elements that require no finishing, such as exposed framing and polished concrete floors on the basement level.
"This is what architecture's about: trying to do something new," said a judge.

Latest question:
How do you think the new GigE standards will influence the machine vision industry?
Respond or ask your question now!
JVC Professional Products, a division of JVC U.S.A., announces that TV Worldwide, a pioneering Web-based global TV network in Chantilly, Va., used two JVC GY-HD200 ProHD camcorders to shoot six 30-second public service announcements (PSAs) in cooperation with the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. The PSA campaign, which can be viewed at TV Worldwide's veteran's affairs Web channel, www.usvets.tv, recently was awarded a 2009 Telly Award.
The PSAs raise awareness and solicit funds for the construction of The Education Center at The Wall. The new information center -- to be built underground at The National Mall between the Vietnam Veterans and Lincoln Memorials in Washington, D.C. -- will provide an in-depth look at the Vietnam War and honor the soldiers who fought and died in the conflict.
"We chose to shoot with JVC GY-HD200 camcorders because of their superior picture quality and outstanding performance in difficult lighting and weather conditions," said Dave Gardy, Worldwide TV's chairman and CEO. "For critical shots of actor Tom Selleck walking along the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, this camcorder performed extremely well despite extreme cold and snow, as well as fluctuations in lighting levels."
Besides location shooting at The Wall, additional segments were shot in Alexandria, Va., at the office of former U.S. Secretary of State and retired four-star Army Gen. Colin Powell. In addition to Selleck, who is national spokesman for The Education Center, and Powell, the fundraising campaign's honorary chair, the PSAs also feature impassioned pleas for donations by retired Army Gen. Barry McCaffrey, chairman of the Advisory Board for the Center; Gold Star Mother Ann Sherman; and Jan Scruggs, Vietnam veteran and founder of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
At The Wall, one camcorder was mounted on a Steadicam rig that trucked along to shoot Selleck's walk alongside the Wall, where he stopped to point to one of the 58,000 names of the fallen etched on its black granite surface.

Please either do us all a favour and f*ck off or alternatively,
Please can you ban this prick, he is beyond boring now.
Many Thanks
lol at "I have your IP". Ooooooh what you gonna do with that info then? Send my ISP a nasty letter? Dick head.
Anyway i'm not trying to be tough. Just laughing at Bisping's naive words.
not half as "naive" as 99% of the shit you've posted.
name and shame this numpty.
"The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war"
Why should Stubbsy get banned ?
His opinion may come across different that's all.
If we wer all the same, the world would be a boring place.
I swear before this company that I shall fight to the death for my king. If my king or my lord shall die, I shall take his place & fight as he would have fought. If any man here see me taken with weak heart & run away, he shall remind me of this pledge, made here before my kin.
dude, you are just a keyboard warrior, who has never stepped foot in a cage because you have no heart or balls to, and just sit behind a keyboard like a pussy.
i would like you to say it to mike's face, you would probaly shit your pants, if he was behind you!
Brogan have you read his posts? Stubbsy is a cock jockey with crayon rage, scribbling bollocks for as long as possible before his medication kicks in.
I thought he was a fairly entertaining spoof poster at first, now I just want the time back that I wasted reading his pointless fighter bashing, fantasy life stories and antagonistic shite. The guy was born an arsehole and just got bigger. Rant over.
Styles Change - Style Doesn't
Twitter @mwsfc
is it the old ACA crew?
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
To be fair if Mike Bisping did say those things before his fight then it just sums up the whole TUF series him and Dan Henderson were on.
The guy that Frank Lester beat to get in the house shouting "you can't beat me" after he just did.
Frank being offered money to knock out James Wilks teeth only to have 4 knocked out himself.
Martin Stapleton being very confident before his fight with a scared to death Cameron Dollar only to get beat.
Mike says he's not going to get hit and KO'd then just as the rest of the season his words come back to haunt him.
All this doesn't change the fact that Stubbsy has too much time on his hands and should just be ignored.

is the tenth year that the Plum Grove Chapter of the
Cross stitch is one of the most popular craft forms today and is well represented on the EGA tree. It appears on linen, other even weave fabrics like Aida cloth, and even perforated paper, a background material first introduced in the Victorian era but now experiencing a Renaissance of its own.
Several of our evening meetings this last year were devoted to teaching projects designed specifically for this "patchwork" tree. One was an original needlepoint design interpreting the traditional spool patch for canvaswork using a variety of threads and stitches. Another adapted the cathedral window technique to a small ornament. It's always fun to watch these projects evolve. Our members often chose their own color schemes and introduce new materials so in the end we have many variations within the basic designs.

In our last issue, managing editor Diane Haddad reported on the state of local genealogical societies, including what some groups are doing to combat declining membership. It's a problem organizations of all kinds - historical and otherwise - are facing. And given the discussion on the FamilyTreeMagazine.com Forum, it's also a topic genealogists are eager to talk about.
A common thread in both our expert sources' and forum members' comments: The biggest key to societies' success is giving members incentive to sign up - and then stick around. As one local group's president wrote, "Societies really need to give people good reasons to join."

"I think you will see a much more diverse constituency demanding action across the aisle," Radford says.
Radford Leicester never died, really died—he only pretended.
The door was closed, but Miss Radford verified this before proceeding.
Radford Leicester's spirit possessed them; the man's cool and confident cynicism attracted them.
Radford rushed up to him and fired point-blank again and again.
We communicated with the other vessels, Captain Radford promising to lead, and urging them to follow closely in his wake.
Mrs. Radford sat down again, large and impressive and aloof.
He told his friend Speed he wanted Radford to show fight so that he might "knock him down and leave him kicking."
We agreed that I should speak forthwith to Captain Radford on the subject.
I'll do all that a woman may, Radford; but only God can make a man truly good.

The Nissan Frontier is one of the lowest-priced pickups available. Four-cylinder Frontier models are more than capable of light-duty hauling and towing, while V6 models are the way to go for those with serious towing in mind.
In any variant, the Frontier is more maneuverable and easier to park than full-size pickups, yet Crew Cab models have enough space for four adults. Compared to other small trucks the Frontier line still offers some innovative storage features, such as removable rear-seat storage boxes and the Utili-Track adjustable tie-down system. Off-road purists will also like the complete set of go-anywhere equipment and interior comforts of the PRO-4X models.
Compare the 2016 Nissan Frontier against similar models
The Nissan Frontier continues into 2016 mostly unchanged, though the SV Crew Cab now features a standard moonroof.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
Below are pictures of the 2016 Nissan Frontier. Select the picture you want to view below
Below are the available colors for the 2016 Nissan Frontier. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The Nissan Frontier is long in the tooth, with almost no changes for 2016, which puts it at a disadvantage against its competitors, the all-new Toyota Tacoma and one-year-old GMC Canyon and Chevy Colorado.
The current-generation Frontier was introduced as a 2005 model and updated for 2009. A redesign is expected for 2017.
Still, the Frontier with its solid virtues holds its own against the new Tacoma. Meanwhile, the GM trucks have driven to the top of the heap in performance, dynamics, comfort and economy and now the option of a turbodiesel.
The sheetmetal still looks fresh, but climb inside and the truck shows its age with hard plastic trim and an upright seating position. It comes as a King Cab or four-door Crew Cab having good rear seat space, with a short or long wheelbase.
Two engines are available: a 2.5-liter four-cylinder making 152 horsepower or a 4.0-liter V6 making 261 horsepower and 281 pound-feet of torque. Each offers a 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic. Three models get a six-speed manual, including the PRO-4X for rugged terrain.
The rear-wheel-drive four-cylinder is fine for someone who owns a pickup because they sometimes need to carry big things, but it's not beefy enough for real truck work. And it's not much cheaper or more fuel-efficient than the V6, which is much more powerful and is available in a 4×4.
The Frontier gulps gas. The four-cylinder rates an EPA-estimated 19/23 mpg City/Highway, while the 4×4 V6 rates just 15/21 mpg.
The 2015 Frontier earned top marks from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in its crash tests, for moderate overlap front-impact, side-impact, and roof strength.
The 2016 Nissan Frontier comes in five trim levels: S, SV, SL, Desert Runner and PRO-4X. But with so many combinations of powertrains, cabs and wheelbases, you can find a whopping 27 models to choose from.
The PRO-4X is the full-on offroad version, Desert Runner is the rear-wheel-drive version designed as a pre-runner type truck and easier to drive on the street.
On the higher models, the standard infotainment system links to smartphones. Options include a sprayed-on bedliner, tie-down cargo system, and a Crew Cab package with dual-zone climate control, plus trailer hitch and bed extender.
Nissan designers did a good job, long ago, with the Frontier. It has a timelessness to its pickup truck shape, buff and brawny with swelling fenders, even as a mere midsize, so it doesn't look too dated when compared to its shiny new competitors, especially the square-jawed Canyon. It's timeless because it's about function. The grille, however, looks like an afterthought.
The cabin is simple and clean but feels old, lacking the charm and warmth of the GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado. Compared to other trucks, it feels less substantial and shows its years in its hard plastic.
Acceleration is weak from the four-cylinder, as it struggles to hit highway speeds.
The V6, however, is downright fast when unloaded, and easily handles heavy weight in the bed. It's rated to tow up to 6500 pounds, with either the manual or automatic transmission that does a good job with the engine's power and torque.
A midsize truck maneuvers better than a full size, and the Frontier's suspension keeps the body under control pretty well, but the ride can get choppy on a rough road.
Go for the V6 if you need a real truck, but unless you can get a smoking deal on a 2016 Frontier, wait for the redesigned version, or check out the Chevrolet Colorado.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

I know his wideouts are highly regarded and Austin is a first round prospect, and his partner ain't bad either in tandem downfield. I know nothing about he WVU defense or running game so i can't judge those, but they are 3-0 with convincing wins and carry a #8 rank. So assuming they are indeed a top 10 team, which I don't doubt at this juncture, and with a home field advantage int their first ever Big 12 game, i think they have a considerable advantage over the Baylor Bears, who might crack the top 25 after this weekend. Baylor in comparison has a porous run defense, marred by the most mediocre pass rush and containing defensive ends in Division 1 football in my estimation. Good linebackers, good corners though under sized and average safeties. But the defensive line weakens every phase of the game and makes Baylor a 5 yard a carry prospect for WVU and with Geno at quarterback probably no less than 30 points. The Baylor offense is lethal and versatile, it will probably score 4 to 6 times. If Florence is given time he has a great quartet of wideouts, a good tight end and three good running-backs. A very average and limited kicker mars special teams if it comes to that. My limited assessment says it will be a bit of a shoot out next Saturday, but truthfully i do not know much about WVU's defense nor running game, the two biggest factors in giving them big advantage in the game. At this time I think WVU is probably an 8 to 10 point favorite. I don't really know how good Baylor is, WVU will reveal that one way or another. My lack of knowledge in their running attack and defense leaves me unable to be more in-depth, so if you WVU fans know, please educate me...hopefully my Bears aren't educated by cleat marks.

Here is a little thread to share another password generator script with you. This one is called "Giga Password Generator", it is Crunch powered for most of the modes and originally made for Backtrack 3 Final. I made this script a few months ago, but it was in french and the code was kinda dirty. The script was modded by Tite-Live who did a nice work to improve the code and to add new features. So here it is, the actual version: Giga Password Generator 1.3.1
-23 differents modes of wordlist generation
-2 languages (english and french)
-Displays the size of the file on-the-fly
-You can choose a directory for the output file
-Can split the output file in choosen sizes
-Tells you before splitting how many parts you'll have
Here are the differents modes you can use:
So as you can see there are various modes and masks features, you can even use a customized charset. For each mode you can choose the min and max lengths of the passwords which will be generated. Here are some screens so you can see what this is about:Quote:
__________________________________________________ ___________
{ }________The Dictionary will be made of :_________________}
| 1) Numbers
| 2) Numbers + startblock choice

The 23 modes:
With this tool you can easily generate several huge customized wordlists, I hope this will be helpful. If you're interested about the development of the script, you can read the original topic on my forum here: Giga Password Generat0r (translated in english with Google).
I want to say thanks again to Tite-Live who really made a wonderful job on this tool, I'm sure he'll appreciate feedbacks about his work if you find it useful.

27 Winners In SCCA BFGoodrich Tires Super Tour Sunday Races At Thunderhill
Posted by: newsla on Apr 14, 2014 - 01:29 PM
27 Winners In SCCA BFGoodrich Tires Super Tour Sunday Races At Thunderhill
The Sports Car Club of America BFGoodrich Tires Thunderhill Super Tour crowned 27 more winners on Sunday at Thunderhill Raceway Park and awarded points for the season long Western Conference Majors Tour.
A Thunderhill SCCA-event record 290 cars were on hand for the doubleheader weekend, which featured eight race groups on Sunday. Each of Sundayâs races were 16 laps or 40 minutes, whichever came first, and all ran the 16-lap distance on the 15-turn, 2.866-mile circuit.
Group 1: Like Saturday, Rylan Hazelton opened the day with a flag-to-flag Super Touring Under win in the No. 49 Driving Ambition/BFGoodrich Tires/HPD Honda S2000, joined by Spencer Trenery (No. 8 Fantasy Junction/TOP1 Motors Acura Integra) in Super Touring Lite and Jason Isley (No. 99 TRD/Hoosier/OS Giken/Racer.com Toyota Yaris) in H Production with a weekend sweep.
Joe Huffaker, quickly back up to speed with an eye on the 2014 SCCA National Championship Runoffs after taking time away from competition, drove his No. 77 Huffaker Engineering MG Midget to the F Production win on Sunday.
Derrick Ambrose and Kyle Keenan battled in B-Spec on Saturday, crossing the finish side by side after battling all race long, with Keenan taking the win. Ambrose evened the score on Sunday in the No. 71 CorkSport Mazda Performance Mazda2, catching the necessary breaks and moving away from Keenanâs No. 44 Kia Motors/Dick Hannah Dealers Kia Rio.
Group 2: The large âwings and thingsâ group was split in two for Sundayâs races, but it didnât slow Formula 1000 and overall winner JR Osbourne, who swept the weekend in his No. 3 Moonâs Supercycle/Hoosier Tire Citation F1000. Osbourne stayed ahead of his class competition from the start, and moved around eventual Prototype 1 winner Jim Devenport with four laps to go to take the overall win.
Devenportâs No. 231 Cranbook Group, Inc. Norma M20 inherited his class lead on lap five when leader Chris Farrell pulled to a stop with a mechanical gremlin. Farrellâs No. 58 C&M Mfg/GDR Engines/Hoosier Stohr WF1 refired after the stall, but left him two laps down and fourth in class. Devenport hung on for the Prototype 1 win. Running third overall was Vince Gaddiniâs No. 43 Damon Racing Mazda PFM in Formula Atlantic, his second win of the weekend.
In group 2B, Fabian Okonski drove his No. 6 Simplicity in Sound Mobile Audio Stohr 1G to a well deserved win in the Prototype 2 class. Okonski and David Ferguson followed David Bassoâs No. 96 B&B Racing/RedLine Oil/Hoosier Stohr Fox RF3 through the early stages of the race, until a water line came loose in the rear of Bassoâs machine and he was forced out of the lead on lap six.
Fergusonâs No. 75 Veracity Racing Data/Hoosier Stohr WF-1/Suzuki moved around Okonski on lap 11, but the Saturday winner spun on his own on lap 12 and left Okonski in the lead. Okonski didnât escape the weekend trouble free, as during Saturdayâs qualifying session he was left with nowhere to go when a rival car slowed on the front straight. Okonski missed Saturdayâs race, and ran Sunday with a nose piece seemingly held together with rivets and racerâs tape.
Bob Negron drove his Formula Continental to an early lead, pushing hard in his No. 8 Hoosier/Terri Negron Web Design Van Diemen RF99/Ford to put pressure on Saturday winner and 15-year-old Yufeng Luo and the rest of the field. The strategy worked, as Negron stayed in front to the end and a nine-second win.
Mel Kemper swept the weekend in Formula Mazda, behind the wheel of the No. 4 Goodyear/Mazda Formula Mazda.
Group 3: After falling just short in Saturdayâs race, William Brinkov knew the strength of his No. 78 TC Design/Synergy Motorsports Chevrolet Corvette was to get an early lead and hang off the charging No. 15 Fantasy Junction Porsche GT3 of Trenery. His plan was working to perfection until an unwelcomed full course caution on lap seven.
Brinkov was not happy to see the double yellow flag, but as the cleanup stretched longer and his tires cooled, his advantage came back. Following a lap 12 restart, Brinkov again stretched his lead out to five seconds and beat Trenery to the finish line.
While GT-1âs Rob Davis (No. 95 RDavisCPA.com Chevrolet Camaro) and GT-3âs Collin Jackson (No. 53 Nissan 240SX) were sweeping the weekend, Dylan Olsen was pushing hard at the front of the American Sedan field. The caution erased a significant lead that the No. 2 Shock Shop/Nutter Racing Engines Ford Mustang had built, but Olsen picked up again right after the second green and rolled to the checkered flag.
Group 4: Spec Miata started with a line of 16 cars nose to tail, early in the race, and all looked like they had a chance to contend. Even at halfway, with four cars running nose to tail, a train of 10 ran just five car lengths back, waiting for a mistake.
The challenge, as always, is to maintain that pace for the full race distance. With just two laps to go, only polesitter Charlie Hayesâ No. 22 22 TFB/AIM Tires/RM Autosports Miata and Elliott Skeerâs No. 77 Rush Motorsports Mazda Miata were left and battling for the lead.
Skeer took some looks, but with Hayes driving flawlessly, was left with no reasonable openings. Quickest all weekend, Hayes was able to finish the job on Sunday and take the win.
Group 5: Still in the transformation from Super Touring Under to Touring 1 in his No. 98 Hooverspeed/NRA/NexGen Mazda MX-5, Marc Hoover led early and, for the first time all weekend, was able to put together more than just a few consecutive laps without mechanical gremlins.
By the halfway point, there was simply not enough tire under the turbo Mazda, and Hoover was noticeably sliding around the corners. That opened the door for Brinkovâs second win of the day and third of the weekend, driving his No. 78 TC Design/Synergy Motorsports/Abel Chevrolet Chevrolet Corvette around Hoover and stretching his lead to the finish.
Huffaker matched Brinkov with his second win of the day and third of the weekend, sweeping GT-Lite in the No. 77 Huffaker Engineering Huffaker Mini. Aaron Downey, who fell out of Saturdayâs race early with a blown fuse in the No. 5 RoundPeg.com/MAZDASPEED Motorsports/Carbotech Mazda RX-3, had hardwired the ECU directly to solve the problem and found himself in a battle with Tony Jimerson.
Downey tried to use the traffic to break away from the No. 28 A.T. Mechanical Mazda RX-7, but every time Downey snuck past a slower car, it only opened the door for Jimerson to get through as well. Downey, on the same set of tires that he used to finish as runner-up at the 2013 SCCA National Championship Runoffs, was slowing dramatically near the finish as his old tires were down to the cords on the right front. Unfortunately for Jimerson, he didnât know how dire the situation was. Still pushing hard, Jimerson spun with two to go, and Downey held on for the win.
A similar situation played out in Touring 2, but in this case, Don Van Nortwick took advantage from second place to earn his first career SCCA victory. Van Nortwick moved his No. 51 Tobar Industries Ford Mustang around David Rayâs No. 30 Hooked on Driving Ford Mustang with two laps to go. Ray won on Saturday and was looking for his third consecutive win on the same set of tires â a task that proved too tall.
On Saturday in Touring 4, traffic helped Lance Stewartâs No. 3 Specialty Vehicle Logistics Ford Mustang stay in front of Lee Niffeneggerâs No. 42 Honda Racing/HPD/BFGoodrich Tires Honda Civic Si. Sunday looked like it could play out the same way, but Niffenegger closed the gap quickly with just a few laps to go, and moved around Stewart to take the win.
Group Six: The Spec Racer Ford started as repeat of Saturday, as well, as Todd Harris immediately walked out in front of the field on his own in the No. 24 Pro Drive Racing/HMS Spec Racer Ford.
With just a few laps remaining, however, John Blackâs No. 17 Spec Racer Ford caught Harris âlike he was driving a Gen Three,â according to Harris â a reference to the new, faster Spec Racer Ford expected to hit Majors racing next season.
Brown looked for a way around Harris, trying on the final two laps through turn three, but didnât have a clear path against an expert driver. Instead, Harris stayed in front to the checkered flag, followed by Brown and Mike Miserendinoâs No. 11 MBI Racing Spec Racer Ford.
Miserendinoâs podium comes just a couple of weeks after an accident during a Sports Car Club of America Regional event at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, home of Octoberâs Runoffs, and massive repairs to the car.
Group Seven: The small formula cars set up the wildest showdown of the weekend in the final race.
A five car incident just after the green flag blocked the track through turn three and brought out a red flag, causing the full race to restart. All drivers walked away from the incident, and the race started from scratch after the cleanup.
Three more caution periods, including a spin by Formula Fâs then-second place Dave Zurlindenâs No. 131 Pro Pack Systems/Fast Forward Piper DF5/Honda that also collected Alexander Kirbyâs No. 81 Piper DF5/Honda and scattered those in pursuit, left the field with a final two-lap dash to the finish.
In Formula F, Thomas Merrillâs No. 55 Piper Race Cars/Fast Forward Engineering Piper DF5/Honda restarted ahead of Chuck Horn and Ethan Shippert. Unbeknownst to his rivals, Merrillâs machine had been hit under yellow behind the pace car and was struggling with his handling.
Meanwhile, Shippert had made his run to the front for the final restart after starting from the rear of the field in the No. 44 JBF Racing Swift DB5/Honda instead of his No. 95 Swift DB-1/Ford after Jon Brandstad asked to swap cars so that Shippert could give feedback on his machine. En route, Shippert ran through the grass to miss the Zurlinden/Kirby incident and was nearly collected himself, but survived.
On the final lap, Shippert drove around the oversteer that he battled all race long, nearly running off track through turn six in an effort to make up the two seconds he trailed Merrill. Shippert got a run out of the final corner and passed Merrill in the gap between the display of the checkered flag and Thunderhillâs finish line that is further up the track by a 0.069-second margin. Hornâs No. 54 Hotel California/Porter Racing Swift DB6/Honda was just one more car length behind in third.
Like Merrill in Formula F, Terran Swanson had his hard-earned lead erased with the caution flags and led Quinn Posner and Skip Streets on the final restart.
With one to go, Swansonâs No. 86 Toad Hall Enterprises/Swan Tech Graphic Co. Mysterian M4/Volkswagen dropped two wheels into the dirt through turn five and opened the door for Posner to sneak by and into the lead. Coming down the straight into turn 14, Streetsâ No. 5 Hoosier Mysterian M2/Volkswagen pushed Swanson back into the lead around Posner.
The draft carried Swanson deeper than normal, however, and Swanson ended up off the track in 14. Posnerâs No. 9 Protoform Volkswagen swept around Streets through turns 14 and 15 and back up the front straight to the finish line and the win.
Lance Spiering swept the weekend in Formula 500, driving the No. 28 KBS Mk VII/Rotax.
The next U.S. Majors Tour event takes place in the Eastern Conference at VIRginia International Raceway next weekend, April 18-20. The Western Conference returns to action in just two weeks at Buttonwillow Raceway, April 26-27.

Rabbi Alan Brill, the Cooperman/Ross Endowed Chair of
Jewish-Christian Studies for the Department of Religion at Seton
Hall University, recently discussed "Jewish-Christian Relations
Since Vatican II" at Mount Saint Mary College.
Rabbi Brill, an expert in interfaith theology, drew from his
book "Many Nations under God: Judaism and other Religions."
"Catholic-Jewish reconciliation, overcoming 2,000 years of
anti-Semitism, is concrete proof of its value," he said. "This
revolution occurred in just the last 50 years, and it went a long
way in healing…It is quite possibly the most important cultural
achievement in America and Western Europe in the 20th century."
Rabbi Brill explained that in 1947, a small group of Jews and
Christians met for a reflection on how to eradicate anti-Semitism.
This laid the groundwork for "The Declaration of the Relation of
the Church to Non-Christian Religions," one of the documents of the
second Vatican Council, conducted between 1962 and 1965. The
document declared, in part, that Christianity has its origins in
Judaism; Jews remain dear to God; and injustices inflicted on the
Jewish people are to be condemned.
"From that point on, it moved very quickly," he said. "In 50
years, people could barely remember beforehand."
The lecture was sponsored by the Catholic and Dominican
Institute at Mount Saint Mary College.
Established as an initiative in the college's first five-year
strategic plan, the institute promotes the Mount's heritage of St.
Dominic; advances the Dominican charism of study and service;
provides a forum for discussion of contemporary ethical issues; and
enhances Catholic and Jewish dialogue. Guided by the college's
vision and mission statement, the institute welcomes persons of
varied faiths and acknowledges different religious traditions as
essential to the college's intellectual and spiritual life.
In addition to hosting an annual Thomas Aquinas Philosophy
Workshop – this year focusing on "Aquinas and God" from June 6
through June 8 – the Catholic and Dominican Institute arranges
lectures during the academic year. This previous talks have
included Fr. Robert Christian, OP, discussing "Church of the Second
Vatican Council: A Work Complete Yet Always in Progress," Sr.
Laurie Brink, OP, an associate professor of New Testament studies
at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, examining the biblical
foundations of the Dominican charism in "Fire in My Bones," and
Stephen Mansfield, author of "Killing Jesus," viewing the death of
Christ in a historical context.

A steroid test costs at its cheapest £160 bring in some random but targeted testing and safe MMA might actually have some legitimate value- or you can just skate around it doing £12 medicals and testing blood saying your making a difference when your really not.
Has anyone being found to have Aids, HIV or HepB yet?
The stuff SAFE MMA is currently doing - testing for blood borne diseases, concussion monitoring and a proper GP medical - are essentials. You can't go anywhere until you have that stuff in place. Regardless of the absolute risk involved, if you're going to let fighters bleed all over each other (ie, not stop a fight at the first sign of blood), then it has to be done. 100%.
Secondly - re steroid testing - you can't just buy a bunch of cheap steroid tests and run it yourself. With PED testing, you have to think about things like contamination, chain of custody, full documentation, taking and storing multiple samples in case of appeals - all of the things that make it difficult. It has to be done properly, or not at all, and doing it properly is expensive and difficult. "Better than nothing" doesn't work in this instance - once you've opened that can of worms, you need to be prepared to deal with it the right way. I'm 100% behind proper drug testing in MMA - but it's something that needs to be addressed by a governing body, once we have one.
It's like building a house. I want a roof on my house, but if you try to put it in before you have the walls up, you're going to run into problems.
PS - it's "she", not "he".

Fighting out of Next Generation
You bashing an organisation that has never said that their goals is to get rid of PEDs. And the reasons why has been stated numerous times on this thread.
Your lack of knowledge on the subject and mma as a whole was also multiplied further by referring to rosi sexton as a 'he'........
While it is honourable that you wish there was a way to rid PEDs altogether, but safe mma cannot provide this,so support their cause and in the future hopefully they will be seen as the starting point to ukmma becoming regulated and safer for everyone involved.
i 100% support what Safe MMA are trying to achieve, fighter health and safety is bread and butter but my concern lays with its now become apparent that one of the founder organisation is believed to be using fighters who have not been cleared by safe MMA blood tests, or they are out of date ect.....yet they are still fighting on a safe MMA event...
not only are we taking a step back, but surely there are some concerns with regards to fighters who are paying hundreds of pounds to register safe MMA so they can fight on these safe MMA events, yet there are fighters who are not fully compliant/probibly not paid out the same money and still fighting on the safe MMA shows - i dont think this is fair! (if this is the case, which it seems to be)
UCMMA has flown well and truley below the radar here. They stood by and agreement from the start to work with Safe MMA and the other big orgs to improve standards and then breached the agreement. DOD is well know for looking after fighters, which he probably had at heart here but he still breached an agreement in letting the two fights that fell outside the criteria take place.
The PEDS discussion is clouding that point badly. That was argued a few weeks ago.

Would like to hear Ian's., rosi and john's opinion on that matter really. Rather than saying were all cunts for questioning it.
O and I still don't get why gyms have to pay. As I'm the only pro fighter in my gym I'm better off in depart then? Just a question
