Get Organized BK! Next Steps (for today: #DumpBannon)
Get Organized BK! Next Steps (for today: #DumpBannon)
More than a thousand people joined together at our #GetOrganizedBK town hall on Tuesday night, to begin the transition from mourning the election results to acting on them. We committed to working together in strategic ways to resist Trump's agenda and defend our deeply American values.
It was a powerful evening, We heard from smart, steadfast, compassionate and diverse speakers who helped us prepare for focused and sustained resistance. We took seriously what we must do to show up for New Yorkers facing hate-speech and hate-crimes welling up in our streets, subways, and schools. We cheered on inspiring young people. We built strategies to move forward with our neighbors. We sang America the Beautiful. And we restored some of our faith in community, love, and democracy.
For those of you who weren't able to join us (we're sorry for the poor live-stream quality), you can watch the full event here, check out a few of the pictures and quotes here, or read about it in City Limits and BKLYNER.
We are very grateful to all the presenters for taking the time to be with us, on top of all the great work their organizations are doing. Mark Winston Griffith made the case especially strongly: we need to step up and support the organizations leading this work in the days ahead, with our time, energy, and contributions.
Follow up information from our panelists is included below and on my website. We also included the community announcements from the speakers who joined us to mention upcoming events and organizations to join. This video-clip of 13-year-old Kate Griem has already been viewed over 1,300 times.
In the days, months, and years ahead, I commit to working together with you -- to oppose harmful policies and disgraceful appointments, to defend vulnerable neighbors, to protect our diverse city, and to fight for the American values of equality, tolerance, and inclusion with every breath, call, e-mail, tweet-storm, organizing meeting, and rally we can.
A First Next-Step: #DumpBannon
For today, we ask that you focus on the abominable appointment by President-elect Trump of Stephen Bannon to serve as his senior White House adviser.
The organizations that fight racism, fascism, anti-Semitism, and hatred -- like the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center -- have made clear that Bannon is unacceptable.
It is a sad day when a man who presided over the premier website of the 'alt-right' — a loose-knit group of white nationalists and unabashed anti-Semites and racists — is slated to be a senior staff member in the 'people's house.' (Anti-Defamation League).
Mr. Trump's selection of Mr. Bannon makes a mockery of his first commitment to the American people as president-elect: 'to bind the wounds of division. In Mr. Bannon, he's tapped a man who has fanned the flames of division by providing a platform for racism, xenophobia, misogyny and anti-Semitism. (Southern Poverty Law Center).
Here are a few things you can do:
*** Sign the Southern Poverty Law Center and/or MoveOn petitions.
*** Contact your Senators and Members of Congress. Our U.S. Senators and local Members of Congress have all declared their opposition to Bannon. But they need to hear from their constituents that this is our top priority for this week. Find your Member of Congress here.
*** Keep #DumpBannon and #StopBannon trending on social media. Some good suggestions here.
*** Neighbors are kicking off a Brooklyn #DumpBannon campaign. If you want to join, sign up on this google form to stay in the loop.
We may or may not win, but we must not normalize a white supremacist in the White House.
Moving Forward Together
If there was one takeaway from the speakers, community organizers, and leaders we listened to, it's that we are in this fight together.
We can't sugar-coat it: we are in for some dark times ahead. But it is deeply heartening to know that we have a strong, powerful, and compassionate community of people -- in the room, online, and far, far beyond -- committed to our ideals, and working to protect the country that we love.
I've already heard many great ideas for actions we can take (from weekly get togethers, to bus-pooling to marches, to letter writing campaigns at schools). If you've got an idea for an event, campaign, or any other suggestion to build the momentum of our organized resistance, enter it in this google form.
Please share this e-mail, and let people know they can join our list-serve to stay in touch about actions in the days ahead.
Thanks again to the hundreds of people who joined us for the event, and to the hundreds more who joined us online. We apologize for the failure of the live-stream, and promise to step up our technology game for the work in the days, months, and years ahead. (Special thanks to my intern Darren Pasha for filming a more functional video of last night's event, so all can watch in full and see the energy that fills our community). Thanks also to my great staff (especially Susie Charlop and Rachel Goodman) who pulled the event together in just a couple of days.
As I said on Tuesday, I'm inspired at this moment by the remarkable life and example of Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery in 1818, he faced brutal treatment that nearly took his life, and it took him three tries to escape. After he won his freedom, he devoted his life to abolishing slavery, then after Emancipation, he fought for the rights of African-Americans in the South and the North, for women's suffrage, for the rights of Native Americans, and for the rights of Chinese immigrants.
Of course the challenges we face pale in comparison to what Douglass faced, but still, I think we can learn from him. At the end of his life, after 70 years of struggle, when asked his advice to a young man just starting out in the world, he replied:
"Agitate. Agitate. Agitate."
And so we will.

Jon Green, Take on Wall Street campaign:
This election has brought imminent threats not only to our ideals, but threats to the safety and security of families and communities, and threats to the safety and security of our economy. Donald Trump is hell bent on returning to the economic policies that gave us a financial crisis. We need to press democrats to fight this every step of the way, to remind them not only what's at stake, but also that the country overwhelmingly agrees with us. They want more Wall Street regulation, not less. And we also need to go back on offense. Dodd Frank was just the beginning. We need to reinstate The Glass-Steagall Act, close Wall Street tax loopholes and make Wall Street pay its fair share. You can join this nationwide campaign here, and please like us on facebook.
Mark Winston Griffith, Brooklyn Movement Center:
The Brooklyn Movement Center (BMC) is a membership-led, direct-action, community organizing body based in Central Brooklyn (Bedford-Stuyvesant, Crown Heights and the surrounding area). We bring together residents to develop local leadership, identify important issues in their lives, win concrete improvements in the community, and build power. We build the connective tissue among us so when we have to hit the streets and work on a policy issue, we are ready to move. Like so many nonprofit organizations, we are now in the mass scramble for resources as people are being pitted against one another. We have to fight against that and all come together. All the work we have to do starts on the local level. We encourage you to join the Brooklyn Movement Center as a core member, or a solidarity member, and to support the work that is going on through your donations

text: You know what I think would be really sweet? A text reader like ReadMore, (which is the only .txt reader for the DS that you hold the DS sideways when you use it, so you hold the DS like a book) with an mp3 player added on. I go to college full time, and I usually have to stay on campus inbetween classes because gas is so high. It would probably pass time a heck of a lot faster if I could read while listening to music, instead of having to pick one. Any thoughts? Would anyone else like something like this?

Karlheinz Stockhausen (German pronunciation: ; 22 August 1928 – 5 December 2007) was a German composer, widely acknowledged by critics as one of the most important (Barrett 1988, 45; Harvey 1975b, 705; Hopkins 1972, 33; Klein 1968, 117) but also controversial (Power 1990, 30) composers of the 20th and early 21st centuries. Another critic calls him "one of the great visionaries of 20th-century music" (Hewett 2007). He is known for his groundbreaking work in electronic music, aleatory (controlled chance) in serial composition, and musical spatialization.
He was educated at the Hochschule für Musik Köln and the University of Cologne, later studying with Olivier Messiaen in Paris and with Werner Meyer-Eppler at the University of Bonn. One of the leading figures of the Darmstadt School, his compositions and theories were and remain widely influential, not only on composers of art music, but also on jazz and popular music. His works, composed over a period of nearly sixty years, eschew traditional forms. In addition to electronic music—both with and without live performers—they range from miniatures for musical boxes through works for solo instruments, songs, chamber music, choral and orchestral music, to a cycle of seven full-length operas. His theoretical and other writings comprise ten large volumes. He received numerous prizes and distinctions for his compositions, recordings, and for the scores produced by his publishing company.
His notable compositions include the series of nineteen Klavierstücke (Piano Pieces), Kontra-Punkte for ten instruments, the electronic/musique-concrète Gesang der Jünglinge, Gruppen for three orchestras, the percussion solo Zyklus, Kontakte, the cantata Momente, the live-electronic Mikrophonie I, Hymnen, Stimmung for six vocalists, Aus den sieben Tagen, Mantra for two pianos and electronics, Tierkreis, Inori for soloists and orchestra, and the gigantic opera cycle Licht.
He died of sudden heart failure at the age of 79, on 5 December 2007 at his home in Kürten, Germany.Contents
Stockhausen was born in Burg Mödrath, the "castle" of the village of Mödrath. The village, located near Kerpen in the Cologne region, was displaced in 1956 to make way for lignite strip mining, but the castle itself still stands. Despite its name, the building is not actually a castle at all, but rather was a manor house built in 1830 by a local businessman named Arend. Because of its imposing size, locals began calling it Burg Mödrath (Mödrath Castle). From 1925 to 1932 it was the maternity home of the Bergheim district, and after the war it served for a time as a shelter for war refugees. In 1950, the owners, the Düsseldorf chapter of the Knights of Malta, turned it into an orphanage, but it has subsequently returned to private ownership and is today a private residence again (Anon. n.d.; Anon. 1950).
His father, Simon Stockhausen, was a schoolteacher, and his mother Gertrud (née Stupp) was the daughter of a prosperous family of farmers in Neurath in the Cologne Bight. A daughter, Katherina, was born the year after Karlheinz, and a second son, Hermann-Josef ("Hermännchen") followed in 1932. Gertrud played the piano and accompanied her own singing but, after three pregnancies in as many years, experienced a mental breakdown and was institutionalized in December 1932, followed a few months later by the death of her younger son, Hermann (Kurtz 1992, 8, 11, & 13).
From the age of seven, Stockhausen grew up in Altenberg, where he received his first piano lessons from the Protestant organist of the Altenberg Cathedral, Franz-Josef Kloth (Kurtz 1992, 14). In 1938 his father remarried. His new wife, Luzia, had been the family''s housekeeper. The couple had two daughters (Kurtz 1992, 18). Because his relationship with his new stepmother was less than happy, in January 1942 Karlheinz became a boarder at the teachers'' training college in Xanten, where he continued his piano training and also studied oboe and violin (Kurtz 1992, 18). In 1941 he learned that his mother had died, ostensibly from leukemia, although everyone at the same hospital had supposedly died of the same disease. It was generally understood that she had been a victim of the Nazi policy of killing "useless eaters" (Stockhausen 1989a, 20–21; Kurtz 1992, 19). The official letter to the family falsely claimed she had died 16 June 1941, but recent research by Lisa Quernes, a student at the Landesmusikgymnasium in Montabaur, has determined that she was gassed along with 89 other people at the Hadamar Euthanasia Centre in Hesse-Nassau on 27 May 1941 (Anon. 2014). Stockhausen dramatized his mother''s death in hospital by lethal injection, in Act 1 scene 2 ("Mondeva") of the opera Donnerstag aus Licht (Kurtz 1992, 213). In the autumn of 1944, he was conscripted to serve as a stretcher bearer in Bedburg (Kurtz 1992, 18). In February 1945, he met his father for the last time in Altenberg. Simon, who was on leave from the front, told his son, "I''m not coming back. Look after things". By the end of the war, his father was regarded as missing in action, and may have been killed in Hungary (Kurtz 1992, 19). A comrade later reported to Karlheinz that he saw his father wounded in action (Maconie 2005, 19). Fifty-five years after the fact, a journalist writing for the Guardian newspaper stated unequivocally, though without offering any fresh evidence, that Simon Stockhausen was killed in Hungary in 1945 (O''Mahony 2001).Education
From 1947 to 1951, Stockhausen studied music pedagogy and piano at the Hochschule für Musik Köln (Cologne Conservatory of Music) and musicology, philosophy, and Germanics at the University of Cologne. He had training in harmony and counterpoint, the latter with Hermann Schroeder, but he did not develop a real interest in composition until 1950. He was admitted at the end of that year to the class of Swiss composer Frank Martin, who had just begun a seven-year tenure in Cologne (Kurtz 1992, 28). At the Darmstädter Ferienkurse in 1951, Stockhausen met Belgian composer Karel Goeyvaerts, who had just completed studies with Olivier Messiaen (analysis) and Darius Milhaud (composition) in Paris, and Stockhausen resolved to do likewise (Kurtz 1992, 34–36). He arrived in Paris on 8 January 1952 and began attending Messiaen''s courses in aesthetics and analysis, as well as Milhaud''s composition classes. He continued with Messiaen for a year, but he was disappointed with Milhaud and abandoned his lessons after a few weeks (Kurtz 1992, 45–48). In March 1953, he left Paris to take up a position as assistant to Herbert Eimert at the newly established Electronic Music Studio of Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk (NWDR) (from 1 January 1955, Westdeutscher Rundfunk, or WDR) in Cologne (Kurtz 1992, 56–57). In 1963, he succeeded Eimert as director of the studio (Morawska-Büngeler 1988, 19). From 1954 to 1956, he studied phonetics, acoustics, and information theory with Werner Meyer-Eppler at the University of Bonn (Kurtz 1992, 68–72). Together with Eimert, Stockhausen edited the journal Die Reihe from 1955 to 1962 (Grant 2001, 1–2).Career and adult life Family and homeKarlheinz Stockhausen in the garden of his home in Kürten, 2005
On 29 December 1951, in Hamburg, he married Doris Andreae (Kurtz 1992, 45; Maconie 2005, 47). Together they had four children: Suja (b. 1953), Christel (b. 1956), Markus (b. 1957), and Majella (b. 1961) (Kurtz 1992, 90; Tannenbaum 1987, 94). They were divorced in 1965 (Rathert 2013). On 3 April 1967, in San Francisco, he married Mary Bauermeister, with whom he had two children: Julika (b. 22 January 1966) and Simon (b. 1967) (Kurtz 1992, 141 & 149; Tannenbaum 1987, 95). They were divorced in 1972 (Rathert 2013; Stockhausen-Stiftung )
Four of Stockhausen''s children became professional musicians (Kurtz 1992, 202), and he composed some of his works specifically for them. A large number of pieces for the trumpet—from Sirius (1975–77) to the trumpet version of In Freundschaft (1997)—were composed for and premièred by his son Markus (Kurtz 1992, 208; Markus Stockhausen 1998, 13–16; Tannenbaum 1987, 61). Markus, at the age of 4 years, had performed the part of The Child in the Cologne première of Originale, alternating performances with his sister Christel (Maconie 2005, 220). Klavierstück XII and Klavierstück XIII (and their versions as scenes from the operas Donnerstag aus Licht and Samstag aus Licht) were written for his daughter Majella, and were first performed by her at the ages of 16 and 20, respectively (Maconie 2005, 430 & 443; Stockhausen Texte 5:190, 255, 274; Stockhausen Texte 6:64, 373). The saxophone duet in the second act of Donnerstag aus Licht, and a number of synthesizer parts in the Licht operas, including Klavierstück XV ("Synthi-Fou") from Dienstag, were composed for his son Simon (Kurtz 1992, 222; Maconie 2005, 480 & 489; Stockhausen Texte 5:186, 529), who also assisted his father in the production of the electronic music from Freitag aus Licht. His daughter Christel is a flautist who performed and gave a course on interpretation of Tierkreis in 1977 (Stockhausen Texte 5:105), later published as an article (C. Stockhausen 1978).
In 1961, Stockhausen acquired a parcel of land in the vicinity of Kürten, a village east of Cologne, near Bergisch Gladbach in the Bergisches Land. He had a house built there, which was designed to his specifications by the architect Erich Schneider-Wessling, and he resided there from its completion in the autumn of 1965 (Kurtz 1992, 116–17, 137–38).TeachingStockhausen lecturing at the 12th International Summer Courses for New Music in Darmstadt, 1957
After lecturing at the Internationale Ferienkurse für Neue Musik at Darmstadt (first in 1953), Stockhausen gave lectures and concerts in Europe, North America, and Asia (Stockhausen-Verlag 2010, 2, 14–15). He was guest professor of composition at the University of Pennsylvania in 1965 and at the University of California, Davis in 1966–67 (Kramer 1998; Stockhausen-Verlag 2010, 2–3). He founded and directed the Cologne Courses for New Music from 1963 to 1968, and was appointed Professor of Composition at the Hochschule für Musik Köln in 1971, where he taught until 1977 (Kurtz 1992, 126–28 & 194; Stockhausen-Verlag 2010, 3). In 1998, he founded the Stockhausen Courses, which are held annually in Kürten (Stockhausen-Verlag 2010, 6–9, 15).Publishing activities
From the mid-1950s onward, Stockhausen designed (and in some cases had had printed) his own musical scores for his publisher, Universal Edition, which often involved unconventional devices. The score for his piece Refrain, for instance, includes a rotatable (refrain) on a transparent plastic strip. Early in the 1970s, he ended his agreement with Universal Edition and began publishing his own scores under the Stockhausen-Verlag imprint (Kurtz 1992, 184). This arrangement allowed him to extend his notational innovations (for example, dynamics in Weltparlament are coded in colour) and resulted in eight German Music Publishers Society Awards between 1992 (Luzifers Tanz) and 2005 (Hoch-Zeiten, from Sonntag aus Licht) (Stockhausen-Verlag 2010, 12–13). The score of Momente, published just before the composer''s death in 2007, won this prize for the ninth time (Deutscher Musikeditionspreis 2009)
In the early 1990s, Stockhausen reacquired the licenses to most of the recordings of his music he had made to that point, and started his own record company to make this music permanently available on Compact Disc (Maconie 2005, 477–78).DeathGrave of the composer, Waldfriedhof, Kürten.Grave monument (rear view)
Stockhausen died of sudden heart failure on the morning of 5 December 2007 in Kürten, North Rhine-Westphalia. Just the night before, he had finished a work (then recently commissioned) for performance by the Mozart Orchestra of Bologna (Bäumer 2007). He was 79 years old.Compositions

About Me
Club/Team Sponsorships
I was born and raised in Thornton, Colorado. I attended Faith Christian growing up and I played competitive softball. I have been living in Alamosa since 2010 when I began playing softball and studying at Adams State. I received my BA: Social Studies Secondary Education degree in May 2014. I completed my Masters of Arts in Education degree in December 2015. I am also an assistant coach for the new Alamosa HS softball team this school year.
I chose to stay and teach in the San Luis Valley after completing my first degree because I have grown to love and appreciate the sense of community that is present in the valley. Also, having grown up in a 3A size school, I am very comfortable with the size of Monte Vista HS and the classes. I am continuing to work on finding my feet here at the school, but it has been wonderful being welcomed into the Monte Vista community.
My parents still live in Thornton, and I have an older brother who lives in Orlando, Florida. I have a border collie and lab mix puppy that keeps me entertained and active when I am at home.

Tuesday's return from the All-Star Game break featured the resurrection of the Panthers power play and points a-plenty by Panthers first-round draft picks.
Unfortunately for the Panthers, three of those points came from now-Detroit center Stephen Weiss in a four-goal second period blitz on which the Panthers' 5-4 loss at BB&T Center turned.
The big-picture result of the Panthers fifth consecutive loss poured sludge on the shine of three power-play goals after going 1 for 23 the previous eight games. Two of those power-play goals accounted for two points each for rookie defenseman Aaron Ekblad (first round, 2014), center Nick Bjugstad (first round, 2010) and center Aleksander Barkov (first round, 2013). Barkov picked up an assist on Brad Boyes' third-period goal that got the Panthers within one, 5-4.
An interference call on Detroit's Drew Miller put the Panthers power play back on the ice with 2:32 left in the third. Panthers coach Gerard Gallant pulled goalie Al Montoya with 1:52 left to create a six-on-four advantage, yet time ran out with the Panthers holding a 41-27 shot advantage and regret.
"We can outshoot them and we can outplay them, but we can't give up soft goals, easy goals like we did tonight," Gallant said.
"Blame ourselves on miscues that gave them chances," Boyes said.
The game's definitive burst featured four Detroit goals in 10:47 of the second period, the last three by Weiss' line in 4:12. Luke Glendening got the first and third goals in the three-goal flurry, both assisted by Weiss. Weiss got the middle goal, his first against the Panthers, who drafted him in the first round in 2001.
A strong forechecking shift by Barkov's line ended with a delay-of-game penalty on Detroit's Danny Dekeyser. Miller actually got the scoring going with a short-handed breakaway goal. That 1-0 lead didn't survive Kyle Quincey's slashing penalty. Ekblad to Bjugstad across to Barkov, tic-tac-toe-wrist tied the game on the 5-on-3, and Brandon Pirri overpowered goalie Petr Mrazek from the right circle.
That 2-1 lead lasted until Henrik Zetterberg got left alone in the slot after a turnover 32 seconds into the second: tie score 2-2. Then, Panthers defenseman Dylan Olsen, while standing behind the net, lost the puck as if the ice suddenly tilted away from him. Luongo stopped Weiss, but Glendening roofed the rebound.
On their next shift, Weiss got left alone at the left post by Olsen and knocked in a 4-2 Detroit lead. Next shift, Weiss' pass went off Jussi Jokinen's glove and Glendening wasted no time whipping it by Luongo.
That ended the night for Luongo, starting two days after playing in Sunday's NHL All-Star Game in Columbus, Ohio. He and his family got home later than expected, around 10 p.m., after a missed connection, and he had to go to Hollywood/Fort Lauderdale Airport to get his equipment.
"There's no excuses here. ... I just wasn't sharp,'' Luongo said.
Almost 20 years ago, the Panthers took drag-racer-fast forward Radek Dvorak with the 10th overall pick of the 1995 NHL Draft. Dvorak contributed timely goals as a rookie on the Panthers' Eastern Conference final team, then developed the penalty-killing skills that made him a valuable forward during an NHL career that officially ended Tuesday with his retirement.
Dvorak spent nine seasons with the Panthers in two stretches. His 16 shorthanded goals as a Panther are the franchise record, and his 613 games are second.

The design and construction industry is hugely complex and inherently uncertain. Projects are unique in terms of program, site, budget, schedule, and client goals. Identification, assessment, prioritization, and management of risk is often overlooked by leaders in our industry, opening firms to professional liability. Contracts are the cornerstone of our business, so better understanding of contractual liabilities, legal exposure created under contract, and knowledge of what to do when contract disputes arise, can help limit this exposure. This panel discussion will educate marketing leaders on risk and help them become better champions for risk management best practice.

Frances Hanckel, a senior vice president for medical care programs at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center since 1989, has become the hospital's new chief administrative officer.
As such, she has taken over daily operations of the 998-bed facility from Michael Jhin, former chief operating officer, who was reassigned to the medical center's corporate office.
According to hospital spokesman Ron Yukelson, the change is part of a restructuring of the hospital's senior management team undertaken by Richard T. Williams, who was named the corporation's chief executive officer in June.
"It has flattened out our management structure and made us more efficient," Yukelson said of the reorganization.
Before coming to Memorial, Hanckel was vice president of planning at the University of Maryland Medical System in Baltimore, and associate hospital director and chief planning officer at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia.

One destination that's getting a lot of attention right now might raise some eyebrows with U.S. travelers. While it's still not a mainstream vacation spot by any measure, there is no doubt that travel to Iran is growing rapidly.
"Visitors are probably most surprised by how safe they feel," said Kevin Callaghan, CEO of Mountain Travel Sobek (MTS). "The country is not monolithic in its opinions, and people are so friendly and welcoming — especially to Americans."
MTS has been offering trips to Iran since 2010, and this year's Treasures of Persia itinerary is booking fast. Callaghan cites the country's 2,500-year-old Indo-European culture, its role as a crossroads of civilization, gracious locals and beautiful landscapes as top reasons for visiting Iran.
Annie Lucas, vice president of tour operator MIR Corporation, says that Iran has everything that "serious cultural travelers" search for in a destination.
"It has extraordinary archaeological sites with well-educated Iranian guides, eclectic bazaars and an incredibly hospitable culture," she said.
MIR has been operating in Iran for nearly three decades and now offers nine different ways to experience the country — including onboard a private luxury train.
Steve Kutay, owner of Iran Luxury Travel, says that visitors will be especially awed by the 16 largely unknown UNESCO World Heritage sites in Iran. Kutay started his company after he returned from his own trip there two years ago.
"We launched Iran Luxury Travel just weeks after my wife and I got back," he said. "And by the way, I'm a Jewish guy from Brooklyn — perhaps not the obvious candidate to promote Iran."
Many believe that tourism will help strengthen political relations between the U.S. and Iran.
"When someone travels to Iran, they come back changed," Callaghan said. "They are able to relate to people there just as easily as in other places. Travel to Iran is a sort of soft diplomacy."

Trick the competition with the Roto Grip Dare Devil Trick bowling ball. Roto Grip has taken the Madcap core that was introduced in the original Dare Devil ball and combined it with the Reckless Solid Reactive coverstock and then finished it with a 2000 grit pad. The Madcap core has proven itself as one that offers midlane roll that continues through the pin deck unlike other symmetrical shaped cores from Roto Grip. The solid version of this ball offers more traction and response to friction than the original. This ball was made for medium-heavy to heavy oil conditions but can be tweaked to handle lighter oil too.
Work well for me in varying lanes.
I love shopping at bowling.com they have great prices and wonderful costumes services iv been a long time customer for years and I'm going to keep buying from them again and you should too and I also bought the storm sure lock IQ tour and the daredevil trick there are great balls to throw I recommend to get these ones I'm really happy I bought those bowling balls
Thanks for asking your question! Once approved by our staff it will be posted here for others to answer. If you'd like to receive answers to your question via email enter your email address below.
Due to the time it takes to produce the Roto Grip Dare Devil Trick ball it will ship in immediately. We cannot ship this ball outside the United States.

Melissa Scott Jenkins has agreed to plead guilty to aiding and abetting the second-degree murder of her son, Robert Manwill, in exchange for a recommended sentence of 25 years in prison without the possibility of parole, Ada County Prosecutor Greg Bower said in a release Monday morning.
Sentencing has been set for August 11 in front of 4th District Judge Darla Williamson. Jenkins' attorneys can ask for a sentence where she could ask for parole before the 25 years are up, according to court records.
Jenkins, 31, and her then-boyfriend Daniel Ehrlick were arrested after days of community-wide searches for the 8-year-old boy, whom they reported missing in July 2009. The boy was found dead in a local canal after more than 2,000 people had turned out to look for him over several days.
Jenkins was charged with first degree murder but that charged was dropped Monday when she agreed to plead guilty to aiding and abetting a second degree murder as part of a plea deal with Ada County prosecutors.
The news of Jenkins' plea came the day that attorneys in her trial were set to begin the process of weeding through prospective jurors.
At a hearing at the courthouse Monday — called after both sides had hammered out the deal over the weekend — Jenkins told the judge she is on medication for post traumatic stress disorder, which she was diagnosed with after the boy's death.
She didn't say much during the hearing, but she acknowledged that she was aware that Ehrlick was physically abusing Manwill and that those injuries led to the boy's death.
Jenkins also admitted to hiding Manwill from Idaho Health and Welfare workers and family members in the summer of 2009 so they would not see how the child was injured at the hands of Ehrlick.
The deal between Jenkins and prosecutors is called a Rule 11 plea agreement. In most plea agreements, the sentencing recommendations act as a guide for a judge, who makes the ultimate sentencing decision. In a Rule 11, the judge has to agree to follow the deal. If Williamson does not approve the deal, Jenkins will be allowed to rescind her guilty plea.
Williamson said in court Monday she will know if she will approve the Rule 11 plea agreement prior to Jenkins' Aug. 11 sentencing hearing.
Ehrlick is accused of beating 8-year-old Robert Manwill in a pattern of "escalating physical violence" last summer that ended in a fatal head injury.
They say Jenkins knew about the abuse, hid it from state child protection workers and did nothing to stop it.
Both originally were charged with first-degree murder.
Though prosecutors had hoped to hold Ehrlick's trial first so they could force Jenkins to testify against him, Williamson postponed it because the prosecution failed to disclose DNA evidence in time for the defense to adequately get it tested.
Ehrlick has not pleaded guilty, and his trial is set to begin in April. The plea agreement does not say if Jenkins has agreed to testify against Ehrlick.

Peter Straus, Executive Director Team Prime Time
May 22nd, 2017
Posted In: In Real Life
As the school year winds down and summer approaches, we're sharing stories about how positive mentoring relationships support a healthy lifestyle through physical activity. This post recognizes the important work done by Team Prime Time's peer mentoring model, which unites two underserved populations through their shared love of sport.
"C-Money", a rising senior at Fairfax High, is an amazing artist (specializing in anime) and fan of the LA Lakers. For years, he wanted to represent the school he loves, but couldn't because he has autism. Couldn't, that is, until Team Prime Time brought its unique inclusion sports model, The Prime Time Games®, to Fairfax High and matched C-Money with a peer mentor. Now he's an eight-time letterman, having played goalie on the soccer team, receiver on the football team, and forward on the defending champion basketball team.
The Prime Time Games® provides life-changing opportunities to two underserved populations in the same high school by bringing them together in an alternative varsity model. Youth from low-income neighborhoods (especially boys and young men of color) are often perceived as being in need of a mentor, but, through the Prime Time Games®, they become a coach and mentor to a peer with a developmental disability. Together, the coaches and athletes compete in the only league of its kind in the country.
Some of the peer coaches played high school sports, but most have stopped for a variety of reasons. In many cases, the coaches fell behind academically and became increasingly disengaged from school, until participating in The Prime Time Games® gave them a purpose and reason to play sports again. One young lady, who became a coach when she had a 1.8 GPA, succeeded in raising her GPA to over 3.0 by the time she graduated. When asked what inspired the change, she replied, "I did not want to disappoint my athlete." She's not alone. 97% of the peer coaches graduate high school on time.
The athletes also see remarkable success. 98% of the athletes graduate or complete high school on time, while the social development they gain from playing team sports in school inspires many to continue playing sports and participate in other fitness-related activities. Yet, for C-Money and so many other athletes, whether they have autism, Down syndrome, or a different disability, it's about something more: the name on the jersey and the sense of belonging that goes with it. "I love being a Fairfax Lion," says C-Money. "I have pride in my school. I want to win for my school and for my friends, my teammates."
The Prime Time Games® exceeds the Dept. of Education's requirement that all schools provide equal access to extracurricular sports for children with disabilities by simultaneously providing at-risk youth with an invaluable mentoring opportunity. Uniting these two groups through their shared love of sport is the reason the program has rapidly expanded across California and beyond.
However, the program's success is perhaps best summarized by Chris, an accomplished athlete at Dorsey High School located in the inner city of Los Angeles, who became a coach in order to show his potential off the field. "Don't help me," he says. "Help me help others."

At a time when telecom service providers are getting set to launch video calling services on the 4G network, the game may be slipping before they start. A year after it launched free voice calling in 2015, global messaging platform WhatsApp – owned by Facebook – has introduced free video calling. What that means that if the user is not on a wi-fi network, he will end up with cellular data charges for the video call.
But, this seems to be the season for launching free video calling. The service is already available on Google Duo and Hike. All WhatsApp users need to do is update the app, open a chat, select the contact and go to the video camera. Video calling will be possible on all mobile device, be it Android, iPhone or Windows devices. Jan Koum, CEO and co-founder WhatsApp stated that video calling has been one of the most requested features from India.
The big hit could be to telecom service providers who propose to launch video calling as one of the new features on their 4G networks – Bharti Airtel, Vodafone, Idea Cellular and Reliance Jio. WhatsApp could do to video calling what it did to the global SMS market. WhatsApp which has almost killed the SMS market, could do the same for international calling and video calling with these new launches. India has a record of 8 billion messages sent on the WhatsApp platform in a single day. That's almost five messages by each of the 1.25 billion people. India also happens to be WhatsApp's biggest market with 160 million users. Says Neeraj Arora, WhatsApp India's business head: Video calling is in line with our mission to make sure that people stay in touch with family and friends."
One worry has been whether the service would work in areas where network coverage is not all that good. It is believed that it will work even where networks are not that good. However, that could mean a lower resolution video is transmitted. Now that video calling has become free, it remains to be seen how quickly this service gains traction in India. If nothing else, greater usage could mean more data revenues for telecom service providers.

The game lends itself toward the adventure genre where you (player) are constantly fighting to stay alive. The game can be played both by a single player and multiplayer as well. When none of your friends is handy to go one round with you, you can set the play mode to be you against the computer.
Bear in mind that when you first start, the game might seem dull and not interesting, but we urge to give it few minutes before throwing in the towel. Sooner or later you will begin getting used to the game and then will come to appreciate the game fully. One cool feature about the game is that you can access free Roblox money when you have completed some stages or have played the game over a certain period. With the Roblox money, you can use it to purchase in-house game upgrades such as a better gun and other weaponry for your survival.
Supporting Operating Systems
As you already know, every mobile game has their unique operating system which they are designed to operate. With that said and out of the way, it is imperative to note that the RR game being discussed in this article is no exception. It was designed to be deployed and operated smoothly on particular OS (operating system). At first when the game was initially launched into the game market, it was designed with the sole intention of being deployed on only devices running android operating system but overtime, as the game began growing in popularity and awareness, demands for it to also be available for other platforms such as iOS and Blackberry started pouring in, and when the demands could no longer be ignored, newer versions for other operating systems was later introduced.
Roblox Gaming Best Practices
Gravitating from the type of operating systems that the game is known or designed to support, let us now talk about something, and it is something that most people often ignore and which usually results in an unpleasant gaming experience. What is up next for discussion are some of the recommended best practices that anyone seeking to achieve unprecedented gaming experience should observe.
A Good Phone: you will not advance very in your gaming adventure without a good phone. The phone is a significant factor which most people often take lightly. When playing to win free robux money, you won't get far without a good handset. Now, don't get confused thinking what constitute a good mobile phone. By own standard, a good handset is known to comprise certain factors and properties which we will try to highlight and discuss briefly before moving on to something more important.
A phone considered to be a good one must have a good size of RAM (Random Access Memory). Without a sizeable RAM, your phone will often freeze and tend to restart when handling games such as RR with high definition graphics. So, as a rule of thumb, always opt for the ones having a minimum of 2 GB RAM size and above so that the phone will run smoothly without any issue. Aside from the RAM, the processor (often measured in GHz) is another important factor you should not ignore especially when shopping for a new phone for your gaming needs. The processor of any phone will determine how fast your phone can process data thrown at it. Phones that spin for a long time before displaying the result of a request that was made are clear examples of phones with little processing power. For a phone t be considered 'good' and 'durable', it must be packed with a high processing speed. Those starting from 2.7 GHz and above tend work just fine.
The battery is another important determinant of what kind be reckoned as 'good' phones. Avoid those that have low mah ratings as you may often find your phone battery drained while in the middle of an exciting game. You always want a phone with a great battery rating that can last you for at least 12 straight hours and for such, those starting with 3,400 MAH and above tend to work just fine.

Excerpts from Iron Fever
As Mr. Lewis (deceased) part of the works is purchases by Mr. John Hamilton and whereas the Ironworks has been called by the name of Bull's Ironworks hitherto, we do think it proper to have the said works entered on your books of Record called by the name of Carron Ironworks as all the accounts hereafter will be kept under the title." Another deed in May 1776, transfers to John Hamilton from David Lewis, William Samuel Johnson, George Chapin, of Stratford and Angus Dickinson of New Milford, "all my estate." This is the only time the name of Carron appears in any available records. The deeds do show that the ironworks was well established under Lewis.
Over the years the property of the ironworks extended considerably beyond the location of the works itself. The operating area of the enterprise was the 40 acres located on the east side of the river from the southeast corner of Bull's Bridge and bounded north on the turnpike to Litchfield. This 40 acres appears as a unit in all transactions relating to the furnace. Supplementary land was needed to support the teams of oxen used by the company as well as to provide quarters for some of the operators and was acquired periodically. A total of 1300 acres appears in some deeds.
For some reason the settling of David Lewis' estate seems to have been long and drawn out. On April 14, 1790 David Nichols purchased 40 acres, the furnace core, from the state of David Lewis. His purchase of the furnace property might indicate he intended to work it. June 28, 1790 Robert Charles Johnson, a son of William Samuel, bought 40 acres from the estate of David Lewis. He kept his interest in the Ironworks until September 9, 1794 when he sold it back to his father William Samuel Johnson. The working relationship between Nichols and Robert Charles is nowhere defined. (5)
In 1791 the two deeds may mean that David Nichols died. Anne Nichols and Lewis Nichols (wife and son?) each bought or received from David parts of the David Lewis estate. There is no information as to how the furnace operated or by whom. (6)
Four years later in three deeds dated December 3, 1795 is recorded the same by Lewis Nichols of 61 acres, 12 acres and Bull's Ironworks to Catherine and Pixley Judson of Stratford, the entire property around the Ironworks. (7)
The Judsons kept the property for four years until April 20, 1799 when Gilead Hurd bought half of "the whole piece (consists) of 108 acres" near Bull's Falls from Catherine and Pixley Judson of Stratford for $950. (80)
The Hurds of Newtown had a long interest in the iron business. Joseph Hurd was one of the original investors in the South Kent Orebed. John Hurd who may have been Gilead's father had considerable farmland in the Bull's Bridge area. The Hurds stayed involved in the iron business longer than most of the investors.
Ten years later, in 1809 (9) Tallman Chamberlain of Kent bought 12 acres near Bull's Falls from the Judsons, and November 1809 added two pieces of 40 acres from Gilead and John Hurd in a series of three deeds, and May 13, 1819 bought from Tallman Chamberlain most of his holdings. (10)
With only these deeds as guide, there is no information about the operation or production at the furnace. They show continuous activity at the plant but no assurance as to who was involved. With the record of Hurd's continuing involvement it may be they were responsible for its management. Chamberlain's deeds may really be loans as in the earlier records such arrangements are usually recorded as outright deeds and the investor took no part in occupying or managing the property. The only conclusion is that there was sufficient production at Bull's Bridge to keep a number of people willing to put money into the business.

Guaranteed Car Finance – Easy Options
Wanna know guaranteed car finance better? First, imagine this: you got an extremely poor credit score; or let's be a little mild – you got a less than perfect credit score. You want to own a new car and decide to get a loan. However, the lender sweetly denies you, labeling you as 'a high risk client'. You come back home with a long face. Gone are your dreams of owning a car. Wait! This is just your imagination!
Now, let's look at the reality. Your score remains very much the same, but the end scene changes. Instead of coming home with a long face, you come home jumping with joy thanks to guaranteed car finance! These are special sort of loans given to those individuals who were denied loans elsewhere either due to poor scores or any other reason. The lenders dealing with no credit check car loan provide finance even to those who have mortgage arrears or CCJ's.
Get Loans Without Credit History
And don't think that because you have no history, nobody will pay attention to you. Guaranteed car finance makes sure that everyone gets to own a car. Therefore, they provide no credit auto loans to those who have nil credit history. Usually these students are just out of college. For them, this king of car finance is no less than a boon!
New Is Good
Although many people are apprehensive of trying something new, they do not want to face the embarrassing situation of loan denial. And this will happen, if you go to any other lender for loan with a bad credit. They scrutinize your rating with such details like a scientist examining bacteria under a microscope! Finally, when they have scrutinized to their heart's content, they calmly refuse because your scores are lower than their expectations. And mind you, they aren't interested in knowing WHY your scores are low. So, don't ever think that you would melt their hearts with a sob story of credits!
You can avert this situation by opting for guaranteed car finance. Well, you might have to pay a bit higher interest rates for poor scores, but at least you get a loan and a car at the end. So, the choice is yours. Do you wanna apply for them and own a car or apply for regular loans and get a long face?
Guaranteed car finance is a boon for those who suffer from poor credit scores or have no credit at all. Poor credit car finance is their best chance to fulfill their dreams of driving their own car.Bad credit auto loans can help people with bad credit finance their auto purchase. Visit no credit car loan for more information.

Teacher Gifties
We have 3 teachers to give a big thanks to, so we are big on creative-and-thoughtful-on-the-cheap.
I made these cups and the boys made cookies to fill them with and we tucked a $5 coffee card inside. I debated on giving more, but then realized that if every kid gave a coffee card (and most will) then there is no way they'd be able to use them all up in a year. Oh, to have that problem!!
I used Dixie hot cups and some scrap Christmas paper. I used Scor-pal tape to secure the paper on the weird foam cups (no Styrofoam here in Portland-not sure what it used in it's place.) I glued a layered tag on the lid then embellished the cup with a ribbon and glitter snowflake. I glittered the snowflake with ultra fine glitter and Mod Podge. I LOVE the little snowflakes with the buttons. Very cute!
Enjoy the last 9 days of Christmas!
Tree of Joy
I wanted to share one of my favorite things during the Christmas season. My boys have so many ornaments that they get their own tree. And being very short on room in a home of 5 people in a 3 bedroom ranch house, we gave them a tree at the end of the hall.
This will be the last year for this tree. It's too small and can't hold all the ornaments and it's only 2 years old. I've told the hubby that we're on the hunt for an after-Christmas sale 6 foot skinny tree. I don't want to spend more than $20 so hopefully I'll find my bargain. If I don't I'll look in the "off season". :)

Bazaar goodies
I've been busy making things to sell at my church's Holiday Bazaar. Here are the few note pads and matching cards I made to sell. I also had about 20 bags of home-made dry dip mix and various gift card bags made up from last year-but I didn't get a photo. A few little suitcases made from altoid tins.
Hope you're busy with Holiday Crafts and celebrations!

Christmas 2 Class
I made the cards for this last class over the weekend. I was pressed for time and so I didn't get a high quality photo, but for those of you who have ordered sight-unseen, I thought you'd want to see what you're making. 3 Cards made with My Mind's Eye paper on shimmery card stock. 2 Cards have rub-ons and the 3rd has a snowflake medallion. The "Happy Holidays" card is a gate fold with a band and the other 2 are traditional cards.
It is so bitterly cold here in Oregon, so bundle up and stay warm.
Today's high: 30!

More Advent Calendars
I made another and I think I'll stop now....here are two photos of the last one made this year. I used SEI paper and chipboard accents, and mixed in a few K Company numbers and a few things homemades as well.
Cards for the last class of the year to be posted tomorrow/late tonight. Drop me a line and let me know what you think!

Following on from our piece on London's best charity shops, we visit the city of Exeter. Thrifting Queen Moll Costello tells us the best places to go.
The city of Exeter has a lot to offer the charity shopper, with a number of shops concentrated in certain areas.
Sidwell Street
Start at the Odeon end and work your way down towards the town centre. Visit British Heart Foundation and Hospicecare on one side of the street, and British Heart Foundation and Kidney Research UK on the other. Kidney Research Shop is my favourite, the window display is always inviting and I've found some wonderful clothing bargains there.
Paris Street
When you reach the start of the High Street, turn left into Paris Street, for five charity shops in a row: Save the Children, ECTA, Children's Hospice South West, Age UK, and RSPCA. Clothing in these shops can be a bit tired and sometimes overpriced, but always worth checking. One of my favourite charity shop buys of all time has been a pair of men's Savile Row shoes from Children's Hospice South West.
South Street
You might want to walk back to the High Street and down its length (aghast at the high prices for cheaply-made, mostly unethical, clothing), then turn left into South Street where you'll find a large Oxfam. The shop is always well-stocked and attractively laid out, and with clothing for all tastes.
Fore Street, Heavitree
It's worth taking a short bus ride from the city centre (A, R or S route) to Heavitree for the best charity shopping experience. Here you'll find Devon Air Ambulance Trust, and – the best charity shop in Exeter – Force Cancer Charity. The majority of my Magpie Monday finds come from here. If you want to find out more about why Force is the best charity shop, read my interview with manager, Wendy Syme.
There are of course other charity shops in Exeter, but I've concentrated on those best for clothing, and easily accessible to those shopping in the city centre. So why not give the High Street a miss and take a trip down this alternative shopping route instead?

Why don't UFOs land in big cities? Is our moon possibly an artificial body? Does the phantom army of Mount Kilimanjaro materialize yearly?
These are among the intriguing questions that I posed on the very first episode of my series, Mysteries From Beyond The Other Dominion, which was one of the four original series to debut on the Sci-Fi channel when it was launched back in 1992. For the record, the other three new series were Inside Space, The Science Show and Sci-Fi Buzz.
This year, Sci-Fi (rechristened SyFy) is celebrating its 20th Anniversary with a two-hour special slated to air on December 10th with several re-runs.
For me, it was an absolutely exciting period to play an integral part in the beginning of such a channel devoted to one of my favorite topics! Each of my episodes ran 30 minutes, airing initially at 9:30 p.m. on Sundays, with re-airings at 1:30 a.m. the following morning and again the following Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m.
I packed as much material as I possibly could into each episode, covering a broad spectrum of subjects. For example, that first episode also included the following diverse topics:
- The history of sunglasses
- T. Rex secrets
- The world's largest rose bush
- How a biscuit timer foiled a robbery
- How to get gum off of your shoe
- Film factoids: Boris Karloff, Clayton Moore, Bela Lugosi
- Video mailbag: phony UFO footage
I also included fascinating on-screen factoids and challenged the viewers with a trivia question.
And, at the conclusion of each episode, I invited the audience to submit questions, photos and videos, noting that, "We don't promise to use anything that you submit, but if we do, you will achieve a small measure of fame, which is a heck of a lot better than a slap on the belly with a wet trout!"
My ability to land my program on Sci-Fi was a virtual miracle! For months, I was endeavoring to promote my concept of a program presenting the scientific evidence for controversial subjects, such as UFOs and ETs, paranormal phenomena, cryptozoological entities and anything else of a bizarre and intriguing nature.
Then, one Sunday morning, I read an article about public access TV in the L.A.Times. While I had hard about it before, this article motivated me to go that route. Then, an editor I was writing UFO articles for recommended that a friend of his, the editor of L.A. Style Magazine, profile me in their "Characters" section. When that was published, a fellow, Marc Lafia, was leafing through the issue hunting for photos that a pal of his had taken when he noticed the write-up about yours truly. He and his partner, Todd Stevens, were looking for someone to produce a TV series for. We turned out a few pilots, but there were no takers.
Then, Todd joined the production team of Major Dad in its penultimate season being filmed at Universal Studios. He showed my tapes to Michael Lansbury (nephew of actress Angela Lansbury), who was head of new programming there. Again, there was no apparent interest. Then, a few months later, Universal and USA Network jointly purchased the fledgling Sci-Fi Channel whose founder lacked the wherewithal to launch it. As a result, my program was selected to premiere on the channel. This certainly represents a classic case of not what you know, but who you know!
Unfortunately, after two seasons with respectable ratings, the program was not renewed, this despite the fact that two Universal execs were arguing in front of me over who was my biggest fan!
One problem during that embryonic phase was a shortfall of cable systems airing the channel. For example, my system in Glendale, CA did not start airing Sci-Fi until 1996, four years later.
I, of course, am ready to return to the channel, having prepared a brand new contingent of episodes. I only await their call!
Now, until next time, may the power of the cosmos be with you! Yes! Yes! Yes!

I am a list person. As hard as I may try to not be a list person, the reality of it is I love making lists and I love checking things off the list. While my lists often help me to get things done, they can make me feel a little like a failure.
It seems like just yesterday I was 22 and making a list of all the things I wanted to accomplish by the time I was 30. I kept this list in my head for years until it dawned on me that turning 30 was not the far off date it once was. This time my list, which was made up of a variety of things that really didn't matter and were given the arbitrary deadline of my 30th birthday, just lead to me freaking out as my birthday approached. There were still a lot of things left on that list. It made me feel like I hadn't accomplished anything.
Logically, I knew that the fact I had not traveled to Australia didn't really matter. Especially considering that I had completed a Masters degree and a good portion of a PhD, as well as spending several years as a Communications Manager. But there was still a part of me that really felt like I had failed.
A few deep breaths, a careful examination of what I had accomplished and a wonderful pep talk from my husband made me realize that it was going to be okay. The world was not going to end because I hadn't traveled to Australia or ran a marathon. Additionally, there were a number of really cool things I had accomplished that were well beyond what I could have imagined when I was 22.
I still have not dropped the list habit (I have a permanent electronic post-it note on my computer), but I am trying to not let the lists run my life. When you focus on the list, you miss the fun that happens in-between.
