Crown 'em, Kansas City!
One agonizing step from ecstasy last season, this time the Royals reign after their latest incredible comeback and a go-ahead hit from maybe the most unlikely player in uniform.
Christian Colon singled home the tiebreaking run in the 12th inning and those bound-and-determined Royals rallied one more time to beat the New York Mets 7-2 in 12 innings early Monday for their first World Series championship since 1985.
Down 2-0 in the ninth, Kansas City fought back in Game 5 against two of the top arms on the pitching-rich Mets: Matt Harvey and Jeurys Familia. And the Royals did it not with home run power but instead a daring dash from Eric Hosmer, a...

Because the first level of jhāna must be based on a sense of pleasure [§238], this advice is very practical.
The remaining steps are willed or determined: One "trains oneself," first by manipulating one's sense of conscious awareness, making it sensitive to the body as a whole.Then one can begin manipulating the bodily sensations of which one is aware, reducing them to a single sensation of calm by letting "bodily fabrication" — the breath — grow calm so as to create an easeful sense of rapture and pleasure.

The top-secret US National Security Agency is not required to reveal any deal it may have with Google to help protect against cyber attacks, an appeals court ruled Friday.
The US Court of Appeals in Washington upheld a lower court decision that said the NSA need not confirm or deny any relationship with Google, because its governing statutes allow it keep such information secret.
The ruling came in response to a Freedom of Information Act request from a public interest group, which said the public has a right to know about any spying on citizens.
The appeals court agreed that the NSA can reject the request, and does not even have to confirm whether it has any arrangement with the Internet giant.

The tone took two definite directions in Monday's campaign forum featuring sheriff and district attorney candidates.
While the three men running for sheriff refrained from criticism of each other, things turned acrimonious between District Attorney John Sewell and his challenger, Hood River attorney Brian Aaron.
Sewell waited until the end of his comments to state that Aaron "does not even live in the community," but is instead a resident of Lyle, Wash., which Aaron denied.
Aaron said, "I live at 1822 Columbia Street. This whole thing is groundless." Aaron said he initially registered to vote as a resident of Front Street but has since changed it to the Columbia Street address.
"This is a slight act of desperation," Aaron said Tuesday. "I think it's an indication that Mr. Sewell does not want to focus on the real issues: the choice presented to the public, and about the services that need to be delivered to the people of Hood River County."
In the forum he called the DA's office "stagnant" and repeated his plan, if elected, to provide a program of child support payment enforcement and to establish a Victim Offender Reconciliation Program.
As Monday's forum concluded, Aaron and Sewell stood up and Aaron extended his hand. Sewell looked at Aaron, waved his hand and shook his head, then turned and walked away.
Aaron had said in the forum that he has heard an "overwhelming response" from the community in door-to-door contacts that "people want change; that the status quo is no longer acceptable."
Aaron noted that Sewell had applied for the Circuit Court seat vacated last year by Donald Hull. Gov. John Kitzhaber appointed John Olson of The Dalles to the position, which is up for election on May 15.
"Mr. Sewell applied for the judicial vacancy, and it sent the message to me that it's time for him to move on from his current position," Aaron said.
Sewell did not comment on the matter.
"You do have a choice," Sewell said, "You have the choice of someone who has never worked a day in the District Attorney's office, and someone who has managed a public office for 20 years; and a choice between someone who's never spent a day in one and someone who has written a budget who and lived by it for 20 years and someone who hasn't. Someone who actually makes his home in this community, with his wife and his children, those are the choices you have to make. Looking at this there is really no choice," Sewell said.
In accusing Aaron of falsely claiming Hood River County residency, Sewell stated, "He (Aaron) lives in Lyle Wash., where he built a house and he falsely filled out a voter registration listing his address as his law office, and is a violation of Oregon law and plain flat dishonest."
Aaron did not address Sewell's residency charge in his closing comments, but after the forum he said, "It's a dead issue," stating that the state Department of Justice investigated "and it's been put to bed."
Aaron brought up a recent investigation by the Oregon Department of Justice which states that questions of his residency are unfounded.
An April 16 letter from the Secretary of State Elections Division states "there is insufficient evidence" to pursue the assertion that Sewell gave false information, a charge brought to their attention by attorney Jack Morris.
Aaron acknowledged that the 1822 Columbia St. home belongs to his legal assistant, Bertha Logsden.
Sewell said, "He's couch surfing occasionally down at her house."
Sewell said Aaron registered to vote as a Democrat (though the DA race is non-partisan) with the address of 212 Front St., which houses Aaron's law office and an apartment. Aaron owns the building and said he had been living in it before moving to 1822 Columbia in December. Aaron owns property in Lyle as well as on the Oregon Coast.
"I'm not sure how it is that where one owns property should be an issue in this race," Aaron said.
"It is a clear violation of the law. It is a felony to provide false information, it says that on the card," Sewell said, adding that under Oregon Revised Statutes, a voter can list only one residence.
"Not an office; not someone else's residence," Sewell said. "Besides, now he's listing his secretary's house as his residence, when clearly it is not."
Asked, "How is it clear he's not?" Sewell replied, "He lives in Lyle, Wash."
Asked, "How do you know that? Have you followed him home?" Sewell replied, "There's people who have followed him home."
Sewell said that the Department of Justice letter states that they didn't feel they have enough evidence to proceed with the felony charges without a reasonable doubt." The Department of Justice conducted the investigation on behalf of the Secretary of State's office.
Alana Cox, state compliance specialist, said, "We proceed when we think we have sufficient evidence to show (a violation). False residency cases are very difficult to prove. What it rests on is did that person believe in own mind, that they felt they were a resident, and in this case (Aaron) was able to show enough evidence to indicate he was not falsely registered."
Cox added, "We rely on the counties to determine if someone is properly registered and generally they find if someone is not registered, the cure is to update the voter registration.
"In order to pursue a criminal penalty, we have to show someone is falsely registered, but also that they knew what they said was false at the time. It's a very high threshold of proof."

Super Spencer's Serendipitous Nursery
Name: Spencer (7 weeks)
Location: Northridge, CA
Color Inspiration: We wanted a room that would work for a boy or a girl, because we decided to wait to find out the sex of our baby until delivery; we felt like green was gender-neutral enough, and chose a green that was vibrant and fun. The hearts above the crib are from my own nursery and I knew I would be using them in the decor, so they set the mood for a bright, colorful space. The yellow pin-stripe in the wallpaper was inspired by the John Deere tractor quilt that our son got as a gift when he arrived in the NICU, where he stayed for 5 weeks after being born 2 months early.
Tip for Using Color: Even if you have a strong vision of what you want, remain willing to compromise. I knew I wanted a green and white nursery but my husband was concerned all that green would be overwhelming; we compromised by adding the chair rail and using light wallpaper below it. I love the finished look so much more than I would have had we gone with solid green walls, so it worked out wonderfully.
Colors Used: Martha Stewart's Verdant Green in eggshell.
Thanks for your colorful entry Brandyn and good luck!
What's at stake? Bragging rights AND $1000 worth of prizes from P'kolino!

Scouting Combine expected to draw 119 prospectsby Mike G. Morreale
Many of the top players on NHL Central Scouting's final list of North American and international prospects eligible for the 2014 NHL Draft will be front and center when the NHL Scouting Combine takes center stage later this month in Toronto.
Dan Marr, the director of NHL Central Scouting, is anticipating the attendance of 119 players, including 101 North Americans, at the Combine from May 26-31.
There are 18 international prospects, including two goalies, expected to attend. All NHL teams will have the opportunity to sit down for interviews with the invited prospects from May 26 through May 30. The medical examinations of each player will take place May 30 and the fitness portion, headed by Dr. Norman Gledhill and his York University Fitness staff in Toronto, will be held May 31 at Toronto International Centre.
Unlike previous seasons, the player invitation process was revised to enable NHL clubs an opportunity to participate.
"It's a change from past practice of invites being solely based on Central Scouting's final rankings," Marr said. "Research has shown over the last decade that an average of 78 invites to the Combine were selected in the top 100 at the NHL Draft.
"For the 2014 Combine, a two-stage process was adopted. In the initial stage, the top 75 players on Central Scouting's Players to Watch List were invited [at an earlier date] and the final stage involved the NHL clubs voting in the remaining 45 players. The number of invites increased this year."
Central Scouting provided NHL.com the list of invites to the Scouting Combine. The Combine consists of three elements (team interviews, medical examinations, physical testing) and players participate in all segments.
Among the players invited are forwards Samuel Bennett of the Kingston Frontenacs in the Ontario Hockey League and Sam Reinhart of the Kootenay Ice in the Western Hockey League, defenseman Aaron Ekblad of the Barrie Colts in the OHL and goalie Thatcher Demko of Boston College.
Additionally, included in the mix of top international players prepared to fly to North America to participate are forwards William Nylander of Modo in Sweden and Kasperi Kapanen of Kalpa in Finland.

Hollister man stabbed in eye; suspect at-large
Hollister man stabbed in eye; suspect at-large
HOLLISTER, Calif. —
A 34-year-old Hollister man was stabbed in the eye after getting into an argument on the 100 block of Santa Ana Road, police said.
The stabbing happened at 12:20 a.m. Thursday and the victim was flown to a Bay Area trauma center to be treated for life-threatening injuries.

Anyone with information on this case is encouraged to call Hollister Police Officer Luis Toribio at 831-636-4330.

This is the latest in a number of satellite events around Europe that are not only providing players with opportunities to get some good match practice but are also spreading the snooker word.
Dave is now 40 and one of a number of players who could figure in a World Seniors Championship, were such a thing to be organised.
The last, and indeed only, Seniors World Championship was staged some 16 years ago when Cliff Wilson beat Eddie Charlton in the final, with the tournament open to over 40s.
Think of the quality of the field using the same criteria today: main tour players Steve Davis, Jimmy White, John Parrott, Harold, Nigel Bond, Tony Drago and David Roe and possibly the likes of Tony Knowles, Mike Hallett, Willie Thorne, Cliff Thorburn, Darren Morgan, Joe Johnson and Alex Higgins.
Stephen Hendry himself turns 40 in just over a year's time and Ken Doherty and Peter Ebdon aren't far behind.
Would anyone else like to see such an event?
6 comments:
I'm all for that, Dave!!!... I'd even go as far as to say that I'd love to see a Seniors' Tour, the last event of which being a World Championship. People have been talking about that but European household names have been missing – still are but, as you have pointed out, not for long. However, organisers can't and shouldn't capitalize (and count) on people's nostalgia as their only or main asset – the standard of these players must be good.
It's true that even the MT events are struggling for sponsorship, but I am sure there are plenty of fans ready to turn out for the stars of yesteryear and this could make it interesting for sponsors as well.
I'm sure I read something, somewhere about Cliff and Steve being very keen to be involved with such a project.

Can't see Hendry wanting to get involved with this. He's notoriously sensitive about his age.
- 2:32 pm
I think that the great WT lays claim to being the current Seniors World Champion having beaten runner up Cliff Thorburn, in what was incidentally the first snooker tournament broadcast live on the internet.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for mentioning the Swiss Open here on the Snooker Scene blog. I wanted to pop down to Zofingen to see it this year but have simply been way too busy. My blog is suffering too! It's a great event that's organised by Bashkim Azizaj, or Baki as we all know him over here. I've played in it a couple of times myself. My last "competitive" match was a few years ago in the Swiss Open against Tom Ford, ...naturally, he thrashed me! The results of the knockout phase from this years competition can be seen here.
- 2:53 pm
Would love a Seniors event. I have 'Seniors Pot Black 1997', was nice to watch.

'Ralph.holt' - it was the Seniors Masters which Willie Thorne won. Wasnt it shown on Sky too though?

UKB consortium in the Netherlands to move to OCLC WorldShare
New agreement will offer new opportunities for Dutch university libraries and the National Library of the Netherlands to collaborate globally
LEIDEN, Netherlands, 14 February 2014—OCLC announced today that the UKB consortium of Dutch university libraries and the National Library of the Netherlands have signed a new agreement to move library services to OCLC WorldShare.
This move by UKB means that its members, which include university libraries in the Netherlands as well as the National Library, will be able to integrate their metadata management, resource sharing and discovery services into a global network to maximise efficiencies in workflow and IT infrastructure.
WorldShare provides an open cloud-based approach for sharing metadata, applications and innovation, enabling library consortia to collaborate at a national or regional level as well as connecting globally to raise visibility and awareness of their institutions on the web, and take advantage of the economies of scale that global collaboration brings.
The new agreement is an essential part of UKB's strategy for academic service provision, and recognises the importance of globalisation in the higher education sector.
"Our users act out there on the Web," said Anja Smit, Chair of the UKB Board of Executives, and University Librarian at Utrecht University. "This agreement with OCLC will help libraries put their services and collections where their users are. With this approach, we are creating the ultimate digital academic library experience for our future."
"OCLC is delighted to be announcing this important step in the implementation of OCLC's WorldShare strategy," says Eric van Lubeek, Managing Director, OCLC EMEA. "UKB's move will serve as an example for other libraries and library consortia, not just in the Netherlands, but around the world. With UKB, we are in the early stages of an innovative journey, and together with these libraries, we will shape the transition to WorldShare."
Twelve members of the UKB consortium, along with the National Library of the Netherlands, signed the agreement. TU Eindhoven is not part of the new arrangement.
About UKB
UKB is a consortium of thirteen University libraries and the Dutch national library, founded in 1977. UKB is located in the library that holds the secretariat. Their purpose is the promotion of the national scientific information service through cooperation between the member libraries, cooperation with other eligible university consortia, cooperation with other library consortia, as well as advocacy to governments and the Dutch university alliance, VSNU.
About OCLC
Founded in 1967, OCLC is a nonprofit, membership, computer library service and research organization dedicated to the public purposes of furthering access to the world's information and reducing library costs. More than 74,000 libraries in 170 countries have used OCLC services to locate, acquire, catalog, lend, preserve and manage library materials. Researchers, students, faculty, scholars, professional librarians and other information seekers use OCLC services to obtain bibliographic, abstract and full-text information when and where they need it.

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - March 17, 2011) - The health of children and adults is at risk because we're not getting enough sleep, says the international group of doctors behind the 4th annual World Sleep Day on March 18th.
The World Association of Sleep Medicine (WASM) says sleepiness and sleeplessness are threatening health and quality of life in countries around the globe, and that sleep problems can be prevented or treated. Improving sleep will improve the quality of life of millions of people.
"Not only are adults struggling to cope with an epidemic of sleep disorders, but doctors are also observing alarming rates of sleepiness and sleeplessness in children," says Dr. Reut Gruber. "As many as 40 per cent of our children aren't getting enough sleep, which is not only impairing their ability to function properly, it's hurting their ability to learn."
Doctors suggest teenagers need about nine hours of sleep a night, and adults need at least eight. A recent Canadian poll found 35 per cent of youth aged 12 to 17, and 61 per cent of adults get less than eight hours of sleep a night. The poll showed an alarming 30 per cent of adults are getting fewer than six hours a night.
"Too often, not getting enough sleep is seen as badge of honour in our society. Some highly successful people boast of only needing a few hours sleep every night, or not having time in their busy lives to sleep properly," says Dr. Charles Samuels.
"But the reality is you need adequate sleep to function properly, to be able to drive safely and just and be healthy. There is nothing noble about not getting enough sleep."
World Sleep Day is designed to call attention to the global epidemic of sleepiness and sleeplessness, and build awareness that sleep disorders are preventable and treatable medical conditions.
The international annual event is also intended to be a celebration of sleep and a call to action on important issues related to sleep, including medicine, education, safety on the roads and in the workplace.
About the World Association of Sleep Medicine (WASM)
WASM is an international membership based organization comprised of healthcare professionals active in the field of sleep medicine.
It aims to lessen the burden of sleep problems on society through better prevention and management of sleep disorders. The fundamental mission of the WASM is to advance sleep health worldwide.

Does the Mackinac Center Have a Point of View?
The following is a brief explanation of the Mackinac Center's approach to public policy, the principles that guide our work and why the term "free market" best describes our institute.
The Mackinac Center for Public Policy focuses its research on economic policy, broadly defined.[*] It does not address issues like abortion, censorship and gambling. These concerns, while very important, are primarily questions of social ethics.
By gaining the support of all who recognize the importance of sound economic policy — whatever their views on social issues — we are better able to pursue a key objective: establishing a more advanced level of economic and political understanding among Michigan citizens and decision-makers. Our focus on economics draws support from market-oriented libertarians, moderates and conservatives. Mackinac Center staff, directors and scholars reflect this diversity.
Modern economic experience demonstrates overwhelmingly that the free market is a powerful engine of economic prosperity. Nations the world over are clamoring to shed the chains of central planning and unleash the creative energy of free men and women. The principles of the American Revolution — individual liberty, limited government, the free market and the rule of law — have become the dominant paradigm of enlightened society.
Today no one calls an American political research institute a "democratic" institute because it has embraced democracy over monarchy. That battle was fought long ago, and democracy is deservedly the winner. We believe that the verdict is also in concerning economic systems, and the free market has won. To play on Churchill's famous quip, the free market system is the worst type of economy, except for all the others. The Mackinac Center works to advance solutions that meet human needs while preserving the benefits of sound economic policy.
We look forward to the day when the myths and fears of free-market capitalism are dispelled, along with the misplaced faith in a benevolent, omnipotent state. By focusing on the actual problems and understanding the proper role of public and private institutions, we can give all Michigan citizens the greatest opportunity for peace, prosperity, and freedom.
[*] It is important to understand that economics is not the study of dollars and cents; it is the study of human behavior. Economics deals with how we use scarce resources to meet the needs of people in a complex society. Broadly defined, economics includes the incentives and systems used to deliver not just commodities, but also education, social assistance and other services. It also encompasses a free-market economy's vital political prerequisites, such as respect for private property, freedom of contract and the rule of law.

Avs edge Wild in shootout
St. Paul, MN – Matt Duchene tied the game in the third period and scored in the shootout, as the Colorado Avalanche edged the Minnesota Wild, 4-3, at Xcel Energy Center.
Colorado goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere turned away a backhander from Zach Parise to begin the penalty-shot tiebreaker. Birthday boy Milan Hejduk, who netted a power-play goal in the second period for his 800th career point, used the same move to beat Minnesota's Niklas Backstrom.
Wild captain Mikko Koivu, like Parise, opted for a backhander and he was also denied by the veteran Giguere. Duchene then ripped a wrister past Backstrom's blocker to halt Colorado's three-game slide.
Giguere, making his second start of the season, made 26 saves.
Hejduk, who turned 37 on Thursday, put Colorado up 2-1, but the Wild moved ahead in the third period.
Mike Rupp banged away at the side of the net for the equalizer at 2:30, and Koivu, unlike in the shootout, was able to roof a backhander at 11:56.
Duchene, however, responded 46 seconds later as his pass from behind the net caromed in off a Wild player.
"We faced some adversity tonight. We were up 2-1 in the third, they came back and made it 3-2 and we found a way to get two points. It's the type of effort you need on the road," Giguere said.
Parise knows his club has to do a better job protecting a third-period lead.
"We worked hard in the third and got ourselves back in the game and took the lead at one point, but you've got to close those out," he said.
Aaron Palushaj staked the Avalanche to a 1-0 lead at the 2:38 mark of the second period. Claimed off waivers from the Montreal Canadiens on Feb. 5, Palushaj scored from the slot off a pass from David Jones.
The Wild tied it on Parise's wraparound tally at 8:52, but the Avalanche retook the lead when Hejduk buried a rebound with 2:34 remaining.
Game Notes
Colorado forward P.A. Parenteau played in his 200th NHL game ... Backstrom finished with 29 saves.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 245 diseños de 69 diseñadores freelance.
socialgrapevine is an online social shopping community developed and derived by its users and wine suppliers. We need a great looking logo for use on web site, emails, collateral and sales materials and advertisements.
socialgrapevine (could also be SocialGrapeVine or SocialGrapevine)
Our mission is simple, to save you and your friends time and money while rewarding you with great wines and other incentives for shopping with us. We offer an interactive forum where retailers can share great wine which we've handpicked for our members. Our system allows our members to share the great wines they find and buy with their friends, allowing VIP members to find out about hard to find wines in advance of the general shopping public. As a bonus, our socialgrapevine members earn cork points that can be redeemed at our rewards center.
What is socialgrapevine?
socialgrapevine is an online social shopping community developed and derived by its users and wine suppliers. You can find great wine offers with comments provided by our members every day.
How does socialgrapevine work?
With socialgrapevine, members not only can buy great deals, but they decide what the best deals are going to make it to the front page featuring the site's most popular deals but they can earn valuable rewards points in the process. VIP members will have access to offers in advance of the general public and be offered unique ways to earn and redeem cork points.
What are we looking for in a logo?
We want a design that will set us apart from other social network and wine sites and to give the consumers an image they will remember.
- No major rules here...- However we prefer a 2 color design. Open to 4 color but it also needs to work in 1 or two colors and for eventual B&W and or gray scale for newspaper.- Should work on white or light background for eventual use on letterhead but it would also be cool if the logo could be used on a black/dark gray or any color bar for possible use as the masthead for the web site. This also shows how it might work as a knock-out over a photo for ads etc. Also open for background color suggestions. Lavenders, purples, greens? Show an alternative dark color background if you are so inclined.
- Winner will provide all original artwork (illustrator/photoshop)
- Winning design will be: Fun, Fresh, Valuable, Social & Interactive
- Open for creative exploration. Can be all type. Does not have to use a graphic element (wine, drinking or otherwise). Be creative!
- Here a crazy thought: How about the possibly of a design that incorporates a wine splotch that sort of forms an abstract of two people communicating?

Your logo and/or design is not a copy or alteration of someone elses logo and/or design. If nothing is found to meet our identity strategy, we reserve the right to cancel this contest.

Rated 5 out of 5 by austinbebefan from Everyone loves the dress on me. This dress has gotten many compliments from others. I really like the fit on my size. I have no problems with fit like the other Bebe reviewer. I'm 5'4", 102 lbs, thin and muscular and the XXS fits my shape perfectly. If you have some curves and a lean body this Bebe dress can fit you perfectly and true to size. You won't be disappointed. The men love this dress. And it keeps you warm also without you getting to physically hot in it.

Rated 3 out of 5 by SimpleBeauty from Weird fit This dress had me stumped. I'm 5'4" 138lbs, the small in any Bebe dress usually fits perfect but this dress was different. The fabric is a bit thicker than usual and doesn't stretch too much. The bodice fit well, it was sleek and form fitting but the bust area by the arms were tight... I could barely move my arms, so it was either deal with that or go up a size and have a loose fit. If you notice in the picture above, the sleeves on the model is very loose, well this is what you will get if you go a size up. The dress is very cute but the fit of the bust and arms is off, maybe if it were sleeveless?

With the excitement of Homecoming in the air, the No. 16/17 University of Redlands football team provided a 38-28 victory over the Leopards of the University of La Verne in front of a season-high home crowd of 2,455 at Ted Runner Stadium. After taking a 7-0 lead late in the first quarter, the Maroon and Gray relied on back-to-back 14-point stanzas to prevail in Saturday's Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference competition.
After a slow start, Redlands jumped out to a 14-0 lead before La Verne responded with a six-point play midway through the second quarter.
However, the Bulldogs never faced a deficit and kept the Leopards at bay by a minimum of eight points through the final whistle.
Redlands' first strike came on an eight-play, 58-yard drive, highlighted by junior quarterback Chad Hurst's (Dixon, CA) completions to senior wide receiver Tyler Aubrey (San Diego, CA) and junior wide receiver Aaron Atkins (Fallbrook, CA) for a combined 37 yards. Atkins' first catch of the day came just out of Aubrey's reach and into his hands for the 18-yard touchdown.
The team took advantage of solid field position at the start of the second stanza, as junior running back Brad Crisanty (Granite Bay, CA) carried the ball for a total of 28 yards during this series, leading up to Hurst's two-yard scamper into the end zone. Halfway through the drive, Hurst also found junior wide receiver David Metcalf (Northridge, CA) on an important second-and-six play for 13 yards and the first down.
This season's fast and efficient offensive approach by the Bulldogs was evident on their subsequent score. After sophomore wide receiver Taylor Irwin (Rocklin, CA) returned the Leopards' first kick-off of the game for 49 yards to the ULV 38-yard line, Hurst connected with senior wide receiver Kyle Romero (Santee, CA), who successfully made his way into the end zone.
With a 15-point lead, the Redlands defense retook the field and made every effort to stop the Leopards' eventual fourth-and-goal play. After La Verne moved the ball to the four-yard line, the Bulldogs held against the subsequent three attempts to score until junior running back Josh Jones (Ontario, CA) finally penetrated the goal line to make it 21-13 in favor of the Bulldogs.
After the celebratory halftime presentation for Homecoming, the Bulldogs rattled off two touchdowns while allowing just one in the third quarter.
Once again, the Redlands offense took care of business in a time-efficient manner, scoring on just two plays for 67 yards, highlighted by Crisanty's 63-yard saunter to the house.
Nonetheless, the Leopards fought back putting together six plays for 77 yards for the score on their second drive of the third frame.
For just the second time all game, the Bulldogs orchestrated a series that included 10 or more plays. Relying mainly on the rush, the Maroon and Gray successfully drove to the promise land when Hurst hit junior tight end Greyson Alman (Fontana, CA) for a nine-yard touchdown strike. Although the ensuing PAT was originally blocked, the Leopards were called on offside, leading to a second chance that sophomore kicker Kevin Grady (Seattle, WA) crushed through the uprights.
Redland iced the game when Grady punched in a 41-yard field goal with 9:31 left in the game.
However, ULV refused to go away and eventually scored a touchdown on a nine-play, 85-yard drive with 6:00 remaining.
The teams traded possessions but the Bulldogs ultimately ended up with the ball ran down the clock, resulting in their sixth win of the season.
Hurst finished with 173 yards through the air for three touchdowns on a 13-for-28 performance. He found multiple targets, including a trio of them for scoring plays. Atkins led the Bulldogs with 47 yards on just three receptions.
Crisanty racked up 104 yards as the team's primary ball-carrier. Hurst also chipped in 70 yards on 13 attempts.
Senior quarterback Thomas Arguello (Richmond, CA) provided an impressive day for La Verne, amassing 357 yards on a 30-for-49 showing. His versatile receiving corps included junior tight end Christian Winnewisser (Santa Barbara, CA) for 62 yards on six catches.
Junior linebacker Jordan Garcia (Carlsbad, CA) continued to be a force on Redlands' defense with his team-leading nine tackles, while senior defensive lineman Brett Hutter (Ontario, CA) racked up five quarterback hurries.
Senior linebacker Fillip Marcelin (Rancho Cucamonga, CA) stepped up for the Leopards, notching a game-high 14 tackles.
Redlands (6-1, 4-1 SCIAC) looks forward to celebrating Senior Night on November 5 when it welcomes Whittier College to Ted Runner Stadium for a 7 p.m. kickoff.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Faye from So soft I wear this around the house as much as I wear it out, it's so comfortable and soft. Definitely a versatile dress. My only complaint is some slight puckering along the side seams on the skirt.
Date published: 2013-07-31
Rated 5 out of 5 by Iloveshopping from A very versatile dress I don't agree with the two other reviews about the dress fitting huge. I'm tall (5'8") & average frame (140lbs) & I bought a size medium. Yes, the dress could hang a little long on a petite frame but the actual cut is perfect. I've worn it over a very thin legging too & it's a very classy yet comfortable look as well. Because the knit is very thin it's better that the dress doesn't fit too tight if you're worried about bumps & bulges as the other reviewer stated. A versatile, simple dress that can be easily dressed up or down! Take advantage of the sale price!
Date published: 2013-05-03
Rated 3 out of 5 by NikkieGiovanni from Runs a bit big I consider myself a athletically thick girl 36DD-27-40 and the size small in this dress was falling off of me. I agree with the other reviewer when she states that it is a bit long and thin material. I had to pass on it. I really liked how it looked on the model though :(
Date published: 2013-04-25
Rated 2 out of 5 by Michelina from Nice, but not for me I ordered this dress in XS since that's my usual size. It fit ok, but it is a bit too long for my taste since I'm only 5'3". Also, the sweater material is a bit thin, so any body ripples will sort of show through. I don't ever wear slips & don't want to add another layer to this dress. I love the color, shoulder cut outs & overall style, but I'll have to take this back because of the other points.

Today marks the fourth anniversary of Dhamma Wheel's inception in late 2008. During that time we have connected with thousands of people from all over the world, the vast majority of them either Buddhist or with a genuine interest in the Theravada.
We still have the vast majority of the admin/mod team as well as our original members. I'd like to thank members of the ordained sangha for their presence and guidance. I believe that the health of a Buddhist discussion board can be determined by the presence of ordained sangha members. We have been blessed with many monastics joining our online community.David N. Snyder wrote:There are several other Buddhist boards, but virtually all of the others are not this successful. And Theravada is in the minority, compared to other forms of Buddhism. Some numbers:
About 219,000 posts
Approx. 54,750 average per year
Approx. 150 average posts per day!
Alexa.com ranking around 200,000 to 350,000 (currently # 77,000 in the U.S.) probably in the top 10 of most visited Buddhist sites? If not the top 10, for sure in the top 100.
Thank you also for David for your generosity for providing Dhamma Wheel and the moderation team for their tireless and selfless service to the Dhamma and the Dhamma Wheel community. Their commitment and effort to be here as often as they do and applying the terms of service in a rational and consistent manner was the fertile ground in which a culture based on mutual respect and friendliness and an environment relatively free from spammers and trollish behaviour have been nurtured. Thank you also to our founding members and long standing "alumni" members who have been invaluable in providing advice and feedback.
As I have stated time and again, it is the membership that make Dhamma Wheel the place that it is.
Thank you for your contributions and companionship on the path.
I dedicate my merits to each and every one of you, for sharing this priceless gift of the Dhamma.
with metta,

Cool Gifts for Cat Lovers from Loyal Luxe
Even though my cats would be content to laze around on a ratty old blanket or hide out in a discarded cardboard box all day, I am totally infatuated with these adorable cat products by Loyal Luxe. (Pssst, Santa, the cats have been very good this year. We'll leave you some milk in a saucer.)
The line includes teepee and cabin-shaped cat houses and a faux bearskin rug. You can buy them online at Velocity Art & Design, but you should also visit Loyal Luxe's website, because they have video footage of kittens. Kittens! I also just discovered that they sell stylin' bowties for cats and dogs, too, which means my animal shopping is done for the year.

London: Eighty-two per cent of fans have rejected UEFA boss Michael Platini's plan to host the 2020 European Championship in a variety of countries, according to Football Supporters Europe (FSE).
The rejection from the fans has come despite Platini`s claim that the unprecedented continent-wide tournament would see the Euros coming to the fans.
UEFA confirmed the pan-European competition, across 13 different cities, after its executive committee backed the decision in Lausanne on Thursday, with Platini insisting that a low cost event would benefit a continent struggling amid an economic crisis.
The Football Association (FA) has already put Wembley forward as a potential venue for the final, while Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland could host group stage games.
Platini insists his zany idea will not make life difficult for dedicated fans who intend to follow their team to every match, saying that UEFA has already met with supporters`` groups to discuss logistical concerns.
However, a survey conducted by the FSE, an organisation that represents more than three million supporters, has revealed that an overwhelming majority is steadfastly against the Uefa president`s idea.
"The committee members of FSE, Europeans` leading supporters organisation, were disappointed when they heard about Uefa`s decision to hold Euro 2020 in up to 13 different countries all across the continent under the motto ``Euro for Europe``," the Guardian quoted a statement from FSE, as saying.
On the results of the survey, which had 1,200 responses, the statement continued: "This reluctance came from individual fans who follow their national team as well as from big national fan organisations, who support their teams at qualifiers and big tournaments and represent several hundreds of thousands of football supporters."

Support cooldowns of 0 in RaidCooldowns:OnCommReceived
- Move canScanCooldowns from a local variable to an instance variable so that class modules can modify it.

- Move the oRA syncing into the base:Sync method rather than base:ScanSpells
- We now sync cooldowns at 0 so that any running cooldowns for this spell can be stopped.
- Use SetTimer instead of UpdateTimer so that it, you know, works.
- Add a StopCooldown method; send a sync with a cooldown value of 0 to stop a bar.
- Clean up some code.
Forgot LibBars-1.0 lib

Cooldowns update
More progress
- Comment out every cooldown except Priest/Rogue/Warlock (our dev characters) until we're ready to update the others.
- Move from Spell Success messages to Spell Cooldown messages; instead of relying on scanning inventories or glyphs, just use GetSpellCooldown on specific spells to find the cooldown.

This is a story.
A Japanese Karate instructor thought that he was better than instructors from other countries, since after all, Karate is from Japan (remember, this is just a story). So one day, as he was walking around a residential neighborhood handing out brochures for his Karate class, he stopped and knocked on a door. A young boy answered.
The instructor introduced himself and described his class. The boy, not being very sophisticated, asked, "Why should I learn Karate from you?"
The instructor replied proudly, "I am Japanese and learned Karate in Japan."
The boy invited the instructor into his house and took him to the living room. The instructor followed, certain that he had a new student. The boy stopped at a large television in the living room and said, "Can you please fix this?" he asked. "It is broken."
The instructor was confused. "I am a Karate instructor," he said, "not a television repair man!"
"Well," said the boy," if you're good at Karate because you're from Japan, I figured that you could fix this television because it's from Japan too."
Being from Japan does not make one any better at Karate than anyone else, just as being from the United States does not make one better at baseball. It all comes down to hard work and perseverance... period.

To those who once proudly proclaimed themselves as marauding members of the Ian Dury and the Blockheads Fan Club, I sincerely apologize for the paraphrasing of the title line but with Halloween fast approaching it seems that the world of sports has stepped up to the plate and is supplying cringe-worthy moments at the kind of dizzying pace that makes me reach for the Saw box-set for a little light afternoon viewing. So, without further ado, I present this month's abbreviated list of sporting stories that go bump in the night – or at the very least leave me cold-sweating and yearning for simpler times.
3. There really should be nothing more to say at this point right here… but sadly there is. Let's begin with the obvious – Khalif Mitchell is an idiot. This is not a reach, not a stretch. OK, he's not your garden variety "Look Ma, I got the pencil eraser stuck all the way up my nose," kind of idiot… more the "I have a T.O. Fathead in my shower stall," kind of idiot – the kind that flaunts his lack of discipline and complete disregard for the consequences of his actions in the face of his Fan Base and team.
Not only is the content of the Tweet disgraceful and offensive, the resultant fall-out, Twitter apology and emergence of the defendants of Free Speech left the kind of taste in one's mouth generally reserved for Ear Wax Jelly Beans and Shakespeare performances by Keanu Reeves. Here's Mitchell, claiming racial ignorance in another testament to the wonders and joys of the English language – a subject apparently no longer taught at the vaunted institution that is East Carolina University: "So I Never knew "Chink" was racist. I def. meant no harm. I was referring to Obama and Romney putting their person trust in Chinese Banks." I am fine with the 1 Game suspension by the Lions for violating their social media policy and offending our sensibilities… perhaps we can add Sensitivity Training to his Anger Management studies – but for those of you with your placards and coonskin caps marching under the Free Speech Banners – here's a thought you might appreciate. Shut up and take a long hard look at the flag you live under. Hate speech isn't what we do here in Canada and if you really think yelling "Fire" in a crowded movie theatre is A-OK, then at least save it for a Twilight marathon.
2. The NFL has reached the mid-season point, which as we all know, means that certain basic factors have become evident as they do each and every year – the Cleveland Browns are most likely out of the playoffs, Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys still put on the most expensive debacle on turf and Rex Ryan must have compromising pictures of New York Jets owner Woody Johnson in bed with a farm animal in order to keep his job. This year, while Tim Tebow toils in the Big Apple/New Jersey on Special Teams as a punt protector, attention has been focused on a rookie quarterback in the spotlight in Washington, DC, one Robert Griffin III, who, depending on which sports authority you chose to follow is either, the next incarnation of Michael Vick, Cam Newton or Akili Smith.
The first two, despite their lackluster 2012 season-to-date, are in fact intended as complimentary comparisons and RG3's stats are most definitely impressive – 149-223 (66.8%), 1,778 YDs, 8 TDs, 3 INTs in the passing game and 476 YDs and 6 TDs on the ground – but, like those already mentioned it is best to temper our enthusiasm. The Pittsburgh Steelers' D, whose players average age is that of dirt, showed the young QB that experience is still the one factor missing from his bag of tricks and no amount of Mike Wilbon at Pardon The Interruption pumping his tires daily will get RG3 an MVP vote. To be honest, I'm not sure he even locks up Rookie of the Year over the Colts' Andrew Luck but no matter… it's always useful to have a fluffer in the room – you know, for the pillow…for the concussions. Play along kids, there might be a quiz later.
1. It was recently, and somewhat unbelievably noted that Bud Selig, the Commissar of Major League Baseball, is now the most 'popular' of the Big 4 Commissioners! Now, while I understand that this poll is not dissimilar to picking one's favorite skin rash or bowel disorder, it must be noted that somehow, the man with a face that makes Mr. Bean's look like it was carved from stone, has gone through a renaissance of sorts in recent years. Which, of course, is another way of saying – MLB hasn't had a work stoppage since the Montreal Expos got hosed in 1994. Is it really any wonder that Donald Fehr has been taken off our Nation's Christmas Card list?
While Gary Bettman battles Fehr and Loathing 2.0 and Roger Goodell attempts to impose a Thor's Hammer of discipline on the NFL, the previous long-time reigning popularity Champ David Stern, fresh from his own labour dispute, announced that he will retire to the Old Commish Home in 2014. Somehow, the Man with the Rubber Mask, who thinks an All-Star Game should decide home-field advantage in the World Series is now the belle of the ball-game in the eyes of a discerning public. Somehow, a man who continues to uphold the notion that Pete Rose doesn't belong in the Hall of Fame, who has publicly hung the Home Run hitters whose steroid use revitalized the sport of baseball out to dry and is, on the testimony of most who meet him, bat guano crazy, is now wearing the crown! Sure, why not… pass the remote… I think the Simpsons' Treehose of Horror is on…
Until next time Kelowna… take care of yourselves and your loved ones.

Actually it doesn't. One could conceivably be all-powerful but not exceptionally intelligent.
But I am not going to cast my vote for a murderous butcher like Obama, even if he is slightly less murderous than Romney.
You can that the Obama presidency has been worse than the Bush presidency, that it's confused liberals, or whatever else you want to say, but your opinion needs to be backed up by verifiable facts in order to be convincing. That isn't the case, to put it mildly, for all that you throw out a few sound bites here and there to try to back up your assertion. If you really wanted to try to convince people, you'd do a side-by-side comparison of the events and policies enacted by each administration and be able to truly show exactly why you say Obama is worse.
Here's a good side by side comparison:
And it is indeed a False Dilemma. A False Dilemma that has been constructed by a Duopoly system. They say they give us a choice between one completely horrible thing and a slightly less horrible thing. Yet that is not really a choice. That's called having a gun to your head.
And still we have the unadvertised choices of voting 3rd party, of writing in, and of outright resistance. Voting for either Dems or Repubs is to endorse this corrupt and destructive system.
I've seen it in my friends...the act of rationalizing a vote for a shitty candidate like Obama, of holding one's nose and voting, creates a kind of loyalty in people's minds.
Obama gave my loyalty a face-fart when he bombed Libya. He gave my loyalty a wedgie when he held Bradley Manning in prison for whistle blowing. He insulted my loyalty's mamma when he executed US citizens without trial.
Haven't you noticed that for 30 years straight the plutomilitocracy has been controlling the agenda of both parties?
Haven't you noticed that all the Democrats ever do is put up a platform just 1/16th of an inch to the left of Republicans and loyal liberals hold their nose and vote every time?
Do you think it's a coincidence that the Democrats have put in the religious pandering into their convention? That they are sucking up to AIPAC, the greatest single enemy of peace in the Mid East on planet earth right now?
Do you think it's a coincidence that Obamacare was originally created by the Heritage Foundation?
Have your read Noam Chomsky's 'Manufacturing Consent'? Have you read Sheldon Wolin, Chris Hedges, Ted Rall or George Orwell?
Your tone is bullying and condescending. I think you are trying to intimidate me.
Which suits the Democratic party as it has become. A party of summary executions, extraordinary rendition, torture, drone bombing, imperialist war and suppression of dissidents.
To quote Micheal Palin: 'Come see the violence inherent in the system!'
Here's a good side by side comparison: http://stpeteforpeace.org/obama.html
Dems get money from corporations, war profiteers, plutocrats and theocrats when they act like Republicans. The money is what they use for election campaiging, particularly TV, which is hellaciously expensive. Money is the reason they sell out.And after they get elected, money keeps them selling out. I really think that US politics has degenerated to the point that it's simply legalized bribery, thinly disguised with either liberal or jingoist rhetoric, depending on your persuasion.

|Biographical Information
|Thranduil's Halls, Woodland Realm
|Physical Description
|Images of Galion
Galion served King Thranduil (and presumably also Thranduil's son Legolas). One evening in T.A. 2941[2] Galion and the captain of the guards decided to taste some new wine that had recently arrived to "see if it is fit for the king's table". The heady vintage from Dorwinion soon put the two Elves asleep, which gave Bilbo Baggins his chance to free Thorin and the other Dwarves (who had been imprisoned in Thranduil's dungeons during the Quest of Erebor). Using the captain's keys and his Magic Ring, Bilbo freed the Dwarves and secreted them into several empty barrels. When other Elves arrived to push the barrels in they found Galion and woke him up. When the workers noted the heaviness of some of the "empty" barrels, Galion growled at them and ordered them to push the barrels into the water.[1]
The name Galion is said to be not Sindarin, although perhaps "'Sindarized' in shape".[3][note 1]
Portrayal in adaptations
1968: The Hobbit (1968 radio series):
- Peter Baldwin provided the voice of Galion.
2003: The Hobbit (2003 video game):
- This video game depicts only Galion, and not the Captain of the Guard. The butler does not succumb to drunkenness, but because Bilbo puts three herbs - Moonleaf, Willowweed and Spider's Bane - in his mug. This change was possibly made to ensure a more favourable game rating.

Mark Selby won his third Betfair Masters title with a 10-6 victory over defending champion Neil Robertson at Alexandra Palace in London.
Selby, the winner in 2008 and 2010 and last month's UK Championship victor, was made to work for his £175,000 first prize in the best-of-19 final after Australian top seed Robertson responded from 8-3 down with wins in three successive frames.
Selby, though, was able to hold off the fightback and see out victory to join five others who had won the tournament three times or more.
The 29-year-old joined Cliff Thorburn, Stephen Hendry, Paul Hunter, Steve Davis and Ronnie O'Sullivan, whose presence on semi-final day ignited whispers of him launching a world title defence later this year.
After his win in York in December, the 29-year-old Selby is the first to win back-to-back majors since Mark Williams 10 years ago.
Only three players had successfully defended the Masters title, with Robertson aiming to emulate Thorburn, Hendry and Hunter.
Selby started the faster, brushing off the effects of his semi-final defeat of Graeme Dott, when he responded from 4-1 down to triumph 6-5 in a contest which finished after midnight.
An out-of-sorts Robertson saw Selby race to a 3-0 advantage, the third frame featuring his first century break of the final, 102.
The Australian, who by comparison made six centuries en route to the final, responded with a break of 78 as he opened his account before the mid-session interval.
A break of 84 saw Selby take the fifth frame and Robertson appeared likely to respond immediately as he accumulated 45, but a straightforward blue was missed, allowing his opponent to respond and take a 5-1 advantage.
With two frames remaining in the afternoon session, Selby was guaranteed a lead going into the evening session.
Robertson missed a red to the centre pocket, bringing to an end a break of 63, but he recovered to claim the seventh frame and a score of 72 clinched the eighth.
Selby began the evening session quickly, with a break of 67, to go 6-3 up.
He edged a scrappy 10th frame and ruthlessly punished a poor safety from Robertson to take the 11th with a break of 32.
Again Robertson reduced the arrears before the mid-session interval as he tried to find the form which took him to the final, a break of 74 making the score 8-4.
Robertson still had to win six of the remaining seven frames to successfully defend his title and a missed red into the centre from Selby took his opponent to the table in the 13th frame.
The Australian made 83 - his highest break of the match coming in timely fashion - to move within three of Selby.
Selby was looking well placed to take himself within one of victory, only to miss an angled red into the bottom pocket at 50-26.
Robertson missed a yellow to begin a tactical exchange on the colours, eventually prevailing following a long brown and the blue.
Seven of the previous 14 matches had gone to a deciding frame and Robertson took a comfort break, leaving Selby to contemplate his position.
Selby brilliantly potted the final red from long distance in the 15th frame and Robertson required snookers to prevent his opponent from moving to within one frame of success.
He was unable to do find them, and Selby was able to smile.
Selby was 37-9 ahead in the 16th frame when Robertson missed a straightforward red in a promising position and moved to 52-9.
Mid-frame Robertson disappeared for another comfort break - perhaps designed to unsettle Selby - but his opponent was unfazed and edged ahead, leaving the Australian requiring a snooker.
Selby then polished off the colours to triumph in a 42-minute final frame.
