Boom Beach Hack Tool
Boom Beach is the ideal game for all those users who have longed to be at the helm of a powerful naval army, and storm beaches of unknown islands to become their undisputed masters. This game makes all these fantasies come to life, and allows its users to create the most feared naval base in this epic combat strategy game. However, the Boom Beach Hack tools can make the overall enjoyment experienced by the players even greater by providing them with an unlimited access to all the precious in-game resources that they would have otherwise required hours of playing to achieve. The importance of the resources in this game is indisputable because of the unique combination of combat and strategy, which is a hallmark of this game.
This game requires the players to make their naval base the strongest to avert attacks from other players by upgrading the defensive structures, as well as, the headquarters. On the other hand, they also require a fearsome army to take over other islands and explore the archipelago in search of various precious in-game items. The Boom Beach Triche tools makes it possible to go in for all the buildings that players need to build, as well as, upgrades that will help them in making their base more resilient to attacks by their enemies. The defensive buildings are necessary for ensuring that enemy players are not able to storm the base and seal all the resources, and the Boom Beach Cheats help in providing the resources required by carrying out the necessary upgrades.
App Screenshot :
Apart from the defensive buildings, the troops are necessary for landing on other beaches and storming them in the hope of unlocking achievements, and resources in the form of diamond and more. However, raising a good enough army is bound to require a lot of resources, as well as, quite a bit of time. The Boom Beach Hack tools help in ensuring that the players need not spend too much time or effort in order to raise the most fearsome army to take on other players. The hack tool enables players to key in the numbers for the resources they require, and they receive the requested amount at their in-game account at the click of a mouse, as simple as that.
Proof Screenshot :
The Boom Beach Cheats are completely safe, and come with advanced anti-ban protection, which ensure that there are no chances of the players getting banned from the game for using the cheats. Moreover, the hack tools come free from all types of viruses and malwares, which mean that players need not worry about any harm caused to their devices for using the cheats. Therefore, the Boom Beach Triche tools can be the most useful companions for the avid players of this game.

Product Testing performed with DraXxus Paintballs

US Army Alpha Black Tactical
Features HowItWorks Disassembly Adjustment Testing Data
In terms of military imagery, the sport of paintball has come full circle. A game that involved camouflage and greasepaint in the 1980s had a politically motivated push through the 90s, to avoid all things military and gun-like, in order to seek acceptance as a true sport and dodge the clutches of anti-gun activists who attempted on more than one occasion to legislate it out of existance. In the new millennium, paintball is widely accepted as a sport played by millions of people around the world. It is definitely here to stay, and the pendulum has swung back, with military styles becoming more popular again.
The US armed forces have recognized that since their primary recruits are male teenagers, and the largest demographic of paintball players are male teenagers, that the sport of paintball is a target rich environment for them to locate contact young people looking for a future in the military. Both the Army and Marine Corps have jumped behind large paintball events as sponsors, and now the US Army name has even found its way into paintball products.
Produced by the first company to market an automatic paintball marker, Tippmann Sports, the US Army line of paintball products is officially licensed to bear the US Army name. It is designed to provide reliable paintball equipment at an entry level price, while increasing awareness of the Army lifestyle.
The Alpha Black paintball marker is based on the venerable Model 98 blowback powered semi-automatic valve system, and built in two forms – the Basic and the Tactical, with or without an electronic trigger system to allow multiple firing modes and a lighter trigger pull. The Basic model consists of the core Alpha Black receiver and barrel, while the Tactical model adds barrel shroud, front sight and collapsible stock. The Alpha Black Tactical was used for this review.
Although the Alpha Black bears a "Made In China" sticker, each marker undergoes final testing and packaging at Tippmann Sports in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
In general appearance, the Alpha Black Tactical is styled after the main infantry weapon of the US Army – the M-16, though it takes features from different variations of that rifle.
The tough polymer barrel shroud looks like a carbine version of the M16A2 barrel shroud, and the barrel features a similarly styled muzzle brake, though it is larger, to accommodate .68 caliber paintballs.
The barrel itself is 11 inches in length and anodized with a polished interior and matte black exterior finish. Unlike the 98, A5 and X7, the Alpha Black Tactical barrel has no ring of ports near its middle, only four slots at the muzzle, making up its muzzle brake. Second generation Model 98 barrel threads attach the barrel to the marker.
The M4 style collapsible stock in the rear of the Alpha Black Tactical is adjustable and is also molded of polymer, much like a real M4 stock, giving it durability and light weight. It is adjustable, and easily locks in 6 positions, giving the marker a total length of 28.5 to 32.5 inches.
Unlike the flat-topped, M4, the Alpha Black's die-cast aluminum alloy receiver has a top carry handle with an integrated, non-adjustable rear sight, more closely resembling the M16A1.
Like the Tippmann Model 98 and 98 Custom, the receiver is built in two clamshell halves, held together with steel screws that attach to steel nuts fitting into recesses in the opposite receiver half. Not only do the hard steel nuts eliminate the possibility of stripped threads ruining the receiver, but they are also easily replaced if they should become stripped or cross-threaded. The receiver halves are powder coated, giving them a durable matte black finish.

35strictly to the point - looking for a distraction
Expand Messages
- Dec 20, 2008
I'm in crappy marriage and just went through a recent break up. Right now I am looking for a distraction - nothing serious, nothing with major drama. Someone to talk to, hang out with, and occasionally make out with for hours on end.
I'm in my early 40s, hot (that is not just my own egotistical opinion) and in great shape. Ideally I'd prefer someone between 35 and 50. If the chemistry isn't there it just isn't and we can move on quickly.

Torre can relate to Manuel's emotions
Personal tragedy took toll on Dodgers manager in 1996
By Ken Gurnick / MLB.com
Opposing manager Joe Torre understands the dilemma. Torre's brother Frank, a former Major Leaguer, is able to attend this series thanks to a heart transplant he underwent between Games 5 and 6 of the 1996 World Series, which his brother's Yankees won over the Braves.
"You could tell he's a baseball man," Joe Torre said at the time. "He did it on an off-day."
Torre managed those games and Manuel decided to manage the Phillies in Friday's Game 2 against the Dodgers. He has not decided whether he'll manage Game 3 in Los Angeles on Sunday.
In 1996, Torre's brother Rocco, died of a heart attack in July and brother Frank was hospitalized for 11 weeks waiting for a donor heart. He remembers what it was like balancing his personal and professional lives.
"It's a heavy heart," said Torre, who spoke with Manuel at the batting cage during batting practice. "The fact that knowing that my -- I lost my one brother but my other brother was in the hospital. Part of the therapy for him was listening to us. And I know Charlie was telling me how he talked to his mom and has been talking to her obviously on a regular basis. And her concern for him was only to go out there and win ballgames.
"[Baseball], again, sometimes gives you a place to hide where you're so busy that it's going to be a lot easier, it was a lot easier probably during the game than it is now when he goes home."

"We are thrilled to recognise Sandra Robertson's professional accomplishments. She is a pioneer in the UK endowment world as the first professional Chief Investment Officer of the endowment in Oxford's 800-year history.

The weekend weather should not be severe, according to the National Weather Service out of Little Rock. But, as for next week, the weatherman says it is too soon to be sure whether it will snow or not.
NWS spokesman Matthew Clay told The Courier Thursday morning that the next system heading toward the Arkansas River Valley is an upper-level disturbance and will pull moisture in from the Gulf. The surface level temperature should stay relatively warm and that means the precipitation that is expected to fall will do so, most likely, in the form of rain.
There is a slight chance, maybe 20 percent, that central Arkansas will receive freezing rain today.
According to Clay, residents and travelers should not anticipate a major snow event like the one that covered the area on Christmas Day — just yet.
The ice accumulation forecast shows less that 1/10th of an inch between Friday and Saturday. The expected low for Friday morning is projected to be in the mid to upper 20s and the high should reach the upper 30s to low 40s.
Clay said precipitation could begin to fall as early as midnight Thursday.
He also said there will be a short daytime warming trend that should last until Monday. Clay believes this warming at ground level will facilitate the melting of any remaining accumulated snow. The overnight lows will be in the 20s so anyone who plans to travel after sunset should remain aware of any possible patches of black ice. They are extremely difficult, if not impossible, to see at night.
Clay explained that there are two weather forecasting models that the NWS primarily uses to forecast frozen precipitation weather event. The European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (ECMRWF) model, more commonly known as the European (EUR) model, and the Gilbert Skill Score (GSS) model are commonly used by meteorologists for long and medium range weather forecasting.
"These two models have some limitations," said Clay.
Each model has its strong points, but the accuracy of the models many times varies with specific conditions that exist in each weather system. The way a particular storm develops, and the kind of moisture the system accesses makes a big difference in how each model anticipates storm development. Clay told The Courier that, if the EUR model is correct, Central Arkansas can expect lingering winter weather events that include snow and ice accumulations.
The GSS model predicts that the weather for the first part of next week will not present a great threat of severe weather. Clay said, "There will be lingering weather, but not much in the form of frozen precipitation" according to the GSS forecast model.
Clay mentioned that although both models show elevated chances for significant weather, the EUR model is a forecast based on medium range weather analysis. He said, "we are 100 hours out" from the beginning of next week's weather.
Julie Lesko, another NWS spokesman, said the Christmas Day snow event was a rare occurrence for this area relative to an average month of weather for December — in any part of Arkansas. She also stated that "we had such a mild severe weather season, we had to pay the piper sometime."
Clay referred to this past week's rare event as "over-running." He said there is a stark contrast between the pressure systems, north and south respectively, and when they met on Dec. 25, it resulted in an unusually intense winter storm. There is a good chance that it could happen again next week.
"The closer we get to the event, the more accurately we can assign a percentage to the possibility of another similar event happening" Clay said.

Dohaland today announced that it will host the 3rd Regional Meeting of the CTBUH (Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat) Qatar Chapter at the floating Knowledge Enrichment Centre, on 30th November, 2010. The conference will be attended by an audience of prominent businessmen, architects, engineers and construction professionals from across the world.
The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, based at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago USA, is an international not-for-profit organization founded in 1969 and supported by architecture, engineering, planning, development and construction professionals. The Council is designed to facilitate exchanges among those involved in all aspects of the planning, design, construction and operation of tall buildings.
"We are delighted to host the prestigious third Regional Meeting of the CTBUH at the Knowledge Enrichment Centre. Dohaland has consistently shown its commitment to knowledge sharing, and the fact that we continue to host and participate at top level events in the industry is testimony to the status Dohaland has achieved in such a short time. The Musheireb project is a showcase of how to successfully combine modern design using traditional architectural values with sustainable construction practices. We are delighted to share our approach and learnings with our peers across the region," said Mohammed Al Marri, Director of Projects, Dohaland.
"I believe that Dohaland's ethos of knowledge sharing complement those of the Council's, which aims to disseminate multi-disciplinary best practice information about tall buildings and sustainable urban built environments, and facilitate business exchange amongst its international network. We look forward to advancing our agendas in a cooperative and collaborative effort," said Professor Sang Dae Kim, CTBUH Chairman.
The conference will also include a keynote presentation by Dohaland on its Musheireb development, the world's first sustainable downtown regeneration project, and its pioneering efforts especially in the field of sustainability. The project aims to provide shaded pedestrian lanes and walkways combined with well defined routes for road traffic, create integrated mixed-use community promoting walking, cycling and public transport use. The development is also designed to maximise the use of microclimatic effects to enhance thermal comfort, reducing car use and congestion, while improving connectivity across the wider city area, maximizing water efficiency and reducing water consumption across the project, and maximising energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions.
CTBUH Country Representative and Trustee Bill Maibusch believes the event further enhances Qatar's rising standing in the industry. He said: "The country's position as a hub of regional architecture is getting stronger every day. With projects like Musheireb, and Dohaland bringing important issues like sustainability to the fore, the future looks bright for Qatar."
Dohaland, and its signature project Musheireb, have been attracting global interest since the project's groundbreaking ceremony back in January 2010. Recently, Dohaland participated in the Dammam Symposium on sustainable urban development, where Dohaland's CEO Eng. Issa M. Al Mohannadi presented Musheireb as a case study for the region. Dohaland also showcased the project to an international audience at the global EXPO REAL held in Munich Germany, last October, while the Knowledge Enrichment Centre hosted several symposia and meetings on sustainability and green building.

Organic Cotton
Naturally Flame Retardant
Waterproof on Top & Sides
MADE in USA
Naturepedic Organic Cotton 2 in 1 Ultra Baby Crib & Toddler Mattress creates a natural, healthy environment for your baby or toddler. Naturepedic mattresses are 100% free of materials typically used in conventional mattresses such as vinyl/PVC and polyurethane foam, which release questionable chemicals over time. These materials and toxic chemicals have been eliminated in the Naturepedic No-Compromise Organic Baby Crib Mattress.
Babies spend up to 70% of their early lives sleeping and playing on crib mattresses & their tiny bodies are especially susceptible to the harmful effect of synthetic fire retardants. This mattress has been tested for chemical emissions and certified by GreenGuard to meet their strict standards for babies & children.
The top of our 2 in 1 Dual Firmness Mattress is firmer and features the same luxurious waterproof organic cotton cover as the No-Compromise Ultra Baby Crib Mattress providing a firm flat surface for infants. The other side is a softer quilted "grown up" style for toddlers, featuring a luxuriously quilted organic cotton cover for a more mature mattress surface resembling a conventional adult mattress. Please note that this side is not waterproof and would require a Waterproof Organic Protector Pad for full waterproof and dust-mite protection.
Naturepedic 2 in 1 Ultra Quilted Deluxe Mattress features 100% certified organic cotton filling and a quilted cover. Organic cotton is a healthy choice for your baby nursery because it is grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers. Our expertly quilted organic cotton crib mattress comes with a luxurious sateen finish. Organic cotton filling provides for great air circulation while maintaining even humidity and balanced temperatures for maximum comfort. It is the ultimate toxic chemical free filling material.
Certified organic cotton filling is mother nature's finest material for a healthy and comfortable sleep. A crib mattress made with organic cotton promotes a healthy and toxic chemical-free sleeping environment for babies. Cotton is an ideal filling material because it is natural & renewable, unbleached, undyed, and grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers. This mattress contains no wool or latex and features a dust mite barrier cover.
This Naturepedic baby crib mattress boasts heavy duty 252 coil orthopedic innerspring with center support and firm flat surface to provide ideal support in accordance with pediatrician and Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) firmness recommendations.

Naturepedic's All Natural Fire Protection
Cotton does not burst into flames or release deadly fumes when ignited, unlike polyurethane foam. The Naturepedic exclusive fire protection system features a non toxic, naturally derived fire barrier system that is safe and effective. It meets and exceeds all Federal and State flammability standards without the use of potentially harmful chemicals.
The primary filling material used in nearly all crib mattresses today is polyurethane foam, a highly flammable substance because it is essentially a petroleum product. In fact, the National Association of State Fire Marshals refers to it as "solid gasoline."
In order to prevent this hazard and pass Federal and State flammability standards, polyurethane foam has typically been treated or wrapped with harsh industrial fire retardant chemicals, which pose other health and toxicity issues. Some of these chemicals have already been associated with thyroid and liver damage, hyperactivity, and changes in motor behavior and other brain functions. These chemicals typically constituted 10-30% of the foam by weight and can easily become airborne. Natural organic cotton is a far superior filling material and is significantly less flammable than polyurethane foam.
Our exclusive fire protection system is based on the unique fire retardant properties of baking soda and hydrated silica bonded to cellulose fiber. Baking soda is a non toxic substance with excellent fire retardant properties. Baking soda is a non toxic substance with excellent fire retardant properties and can be found as a naturally occurring compound. Silica is a natural mineral that comprises about 60% of the earth's crust. Clay, rocks, sand, etc. are all made primarily of silica. It is a major constituent of human tissue, bones, teeth, and is even available at health food stores as a food supplement. It is also a primary ingredient in natural toothpaste. The cellulose fiber used is derived primarily from eucalyptus and poplar trees and has a low carbon footprint. These materials provide the best way to meet fire regulations without the use of dangerous chemicals.

HOLLAND, Mich. (WZZM) -- A major announcement is coming from the second largest drug store chain in the nation: CVS Caremark says starting in October it will no longer sell cigarettes or other tobacco products.
In Michigan more than 20% of the population smokes cigarettes and many of them are under the age of 25. WZZM 13 talked to local health officials about what this decision means to the fight against cancer.
Outside a CVS store in Holland, customers are taking in a breath of fresh air. "I think not selling tobacco is the greatest thing they ever thought of," says customer Tom Walker.
The retail giant is doing what some of its customers can't do; quitting cigarettes. "I appreciate that because I used to be a smoker and I quit in 2009 and it's not a good idea to be selling tobacco," says customer Katerina Tripp. "To me any place that takes that stand, they got my vote," says Bud Kelch.
RELATED:CVS to stop selling tobacco products Oct. 1
By October, CVS Caremark plans to stop selling cigarettes and other tobacco products. Some customers found it strange in the past to be promoting a 24-hour pharmacy, but then also selling cigarettes. "Selling tobacco is contradictory to what you're trying to do," says Tripp.
Company executives are hearing that message. CVS Caremark is now promoting health at the pharmacy as a unifying message in the future. "We've come to the conclusion that tobacco in a setting where healthcare is being administered, those two just don't go together," says CVS President and CEO Larry Merlo.
"The amount of money they stand to lose by this really speaks volumes about their commitment," says Tim Findley with the Ottawa County Department of Public Health.
Local health officials hope other retailers will follow suit for the sake of the next generation. "Any message that a big corporation can send to these smaller retailers saying 'You're on the right path, you're doing the right thing', it certainly helps our efforts just to educate," says Findley.
With more than 7,600 stores no longer selling cigarettes, perhaps even some current smokers, will decide to quit. CVS Caremark also plans to start a national campaign in the spring to help millions of Americans who want to quit smoking.

The announcement came Tuesday and represents an unprecedented postseason coverage of Central Coast Section high school sports, beginning this fall. Sports will be made available to fans in a variety of live and on-demand formats across web and mobile devices.
"The Central Coast Section is excited to partner with PlayOn to enhance coverage of high school sports and the athletes in our Section," CCS Commissioner Nancy Lazenby Blaser said. "We believe the CCS has an exciting high school sports environment that will now be available to viewers throughout the state, across the country and around the world, all while providing our student athletes, their families and their fans unique access to their outstanding achievements."
The new Internet video portal for the Central Coast Network, www.cifcentralcoast.tv, will host all events produced through the partnership. Many events will be streamed live and all events will be archived and made available on demand.
"We are thrilled to partner with the Central Coast Section of the CIF to create a network of high school sports content in California that celebrates California's student athletes," said Tim Eichorst, President of PlayOn. "We are building a library of content that will allow students, families, and communities access to their school's sports and activities programs in a way they haven't had before."
The network portals will commence this fall with coverage of football, field hockey and cross country, among others. Additional coverage throughout the year will feature a wide range of both boys and girls sports in California.
An added bonus to the partnership is the opportunity for high schools to produce regular season sports and school activities through the School Broadcast Program.
"Schools can leverage the PlayOn platform to create content, provide educational opportunities for students, generate exposure for student athletes, and provide unique digital advertising opportunities for sponsors," Eichorst said. "We are rolling this program out immediately and hope to have an initial group of schools producing and broadcasting their activities during this fall sports season."
The announcement is part of a nationwide network established by PlayOn that also includes cable deals. Costs associated with the service were not announced.

I've been using my Klipsch RF82s in "Large Speaker" mode for a while now, and they actually do a decent job of handling bass. However, I'll be moving out of my apartment and into a house, so I'll finally be able to add a subwoofer to my system.
Along with the RF82 towers, I have an RC62 center channel and RB61 shelf tops. The receiver is a Pioneer VSX-1120K, receiving 6-channel 24/96 LPCM from my HTPC.
Which subwoofer would sound best with the system above? Mostly for music, but I'd like the bass to hit really hard when I do find the time to watch a movie.
SVS "new" PB12-NSD DSP - $749 at Sonic Boom Audio
SVS "new" PC12-NCD DSP - $729 at SBA - this is a really cool looking cylinder that would probably be the easiest to manage, but how's performance?
HSU VTF-3 MK4 - $699, but shipping it to Canada would probably cost a small fortune.
There's also the $1199 SVS SB13-Plus, which is a small sealed sub with a 13" driver and 1000w amp. Something (the price?) tells me this sub would outperform the others, at least when it comes to music playback.
Is the 13-Plus worth it? And If not, which of the other three would you pick? Thanks.

I know one of the great advantages of OO is the ability for objects to communicate with each other. In the past, I have not managed to do this: instead I just have each method called from main (or wherever the core of my program is), return the results, then if necessary use that info to send to another object.
My problem is: how would I send messages between objects? If each class is in a separate file, they shouldn't be directly accessible to each other. The only way I can think of is to have a pointer in every object to every other object, and send the messages to that.
Am I missing something?

Zimmermann stretches out with start against Mets
By Bill Ladson and Paul Hagen / MLB.com
VIERA, Fla. -- After experiencing a dead arm last week, right-hander Jordan Zimmermann was solid on the mound Wednesday, while the Nationals defeated the Mets, 8-5, at Space Coast Stadium.
Zimmermann lasted 4 2/3 innings, allowing three runs (one earned), striking out six batters and walking two. He threw 82 pitches, including 54 strikes.
"I felt good. The fastball was a lot better today," Zimmermann said. "I could throw it where I want it to. I got a few guys 0-2. I tried putting them away and tried not to waste any pitches. They got a few hits. Other than that, everything was working today.
"The other time, I felt a little sore, but today I felt really good. It felt good to stretch it out and throw [82] pitches. I would have liked to get that last hitter, there were a couple of close calls. I'll take 4 2/3 [innings], I guess."
Zimmermann is still developing his changeup, and it was working Wednesday. In the third inning, Zimmermann was able to get Ike Davis to ground out to second baseman Danny Espinosa.
"It's good and it's where I want it to be," Zimmermann said about the changeup. "I have some days where it doesn't feel [right] and other days where it feels [right]. More times than not, it's feeling good. I just work on it every single day playing catch, throwing it and getting used to throwing it."
In Nationals' third spot, Harper thriving
VIERA, Fla. -- Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper is showing that hitting third in lineup agrees with him. This spring, Harper is 16-for-36 (.444) with three home runs and eight RBIs.
Harper said the players hitting in front of him are the reason he is having success. On Wednesday, for example, Denard Span and Jayson Werth were on base when Harper hit a three-run homer against Mets right-hander Matt Harvey. Harper ended up driving in four runs against the Mets.
"Having the two guys in front of me, … they are going to make me better." Harper said. "Denard is unbelievable. He is a leadoff guy and sees a lot of pitches. Werth is the same way. It's just going to make the team better. It's going to be good."
Harper acknowledged that Spring Training is long and wishes the season already started, but he still has to get better in the outfield. In the seventh inning, he threw the ball over the cutoff man's head, allowing the Mets to tie the game at 3. Since he arrived in the big leagues, Harper has been known to miss the cutoff man.
But manager Davey Johnson expects Harper to improve in that area.
"He'll be fine. He is working on it," Johnson said.
Harper also wants to be on the same page as Span, who will play alongside him in center field.
"I'm still trying to work with Denard and see how he communicates out there," Harper said.
Gio's Nats teammates express pride in pitcher
VIERA, Fla. -- The Nationals were impressed with how left-hander Gio Gonzalez performed against Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic on Tuesday.
Gonzalez pitched five shutout innings as the Americans defeated Puerto Rico, 7-1, at Marlins Park. Gonzalez grew up in Hialeah, Fla., which is 10 miles from the ballpark.
Relievers Craig Stammen and Tyler Moore watched the Classic game together at a restaurant and noticed how dominant Gonzalez was in the game.
"It was good to see him handle the situation with a lot on the line," Stammen said. "He performed probably the best I've seen him perform in that situation. He usually throws a lot of fastballs and then, later on, mixes in his curveball. That makes him pretty unhittable. Last night, his fastball was really good. It was down and away, down and in. They couldn't hit his curveball because of that."
Said Clippard, "He looked unbelievable. He was putting his fastball wherever he wanted it. His breaking stuff, he was putting away guys. He threw a lot more changeup than I'm used to seeing him throw. It was a great outing. I was happy for him and the USA team, but it's good for us if he stays on that level."
Ohlendorf finishes strong vs. Astros
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Four batters into Ross Ohlendorf's split-squad start against the Astros on Wednesday, the Nationals athletic trainer came to the mound to visit him.
That's never a good sign, but it turned out to be only a broken fingernail. The right-hander settled down after allowing four runs in the first, getting double-play grounders in both the second and third innings of a 9-7 win over Houston at Osceola County Stadium. And that, he said, was something positive he could take from the outing.
"I was really happy with my sinker. I thought it was really good," Ohlendorf said. "I've had a good sinker in the past. I haven't had it the last few seasons. It didn't move very well. And now I feel like it's really come back. I would have liked to have pitched better, but I got some double plays, which was nice."
Said coach Randy Knorr, who managed the traveling team: "He was really trying to force [the sinker] in the first inning and trying to make too fine of pitches. He went back out in the next couple innings and really just let his sinker go, and it showed up and made him effective. He just ran out of pitches."
Ohlendorf, 30, had some success with the Pirates before shoulder problems landed him on the disabled list twice in the last two seasons. He was with the Padres in 2012 and is now a non-roster invitee for the Nationals, who hope he can provide some depth for the rotation. So even though he threw 60 pitches (33 strikes) in his three innings, he's encouraged because his arm feels good and his sinker is sinking again. He ran into trouble when he got behind in the count and also made a couple of mistakes with his off-speed pitches.
"I'd like to make a good impression so that if they need me during the season, I'll be ready," he said. "I'm just pitching when they ask me to and trying to do my best."
Rendon not letting up in red-hot spring
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Nationals manager Davey Johnson went on record earlier this spring saying that there was no way phenom Anthony Rendon would make the Opening Day roster. Of course, that was before Rendon continued his torrid Grapefruit League play by going 4-for-5 including the game-winning home run in the eighth inning of Washington's 9-7 split-squad win over the Astros at Osceola County Stadium on Wednesday.
No, Rendon, ranked the Nationals' No. 1 prospect and 28th overall by MLB.com, will still start the season in the Minors. The sixth overall pick in the 2011 Draft has just 133 professional at-bats, none higher than Double-A, because of a broken ankle last season. Then again, you'd never guess that from watching him play this spring. He's hitting .375 with four homers and 11 RBIs in 13 games.
"He's been doing it all spring. It's just fun to watch him hit. He's a very mature hitter for his age," said coach Randy Knorr, who managed the split squad. "He's everything we thought he was. You'd think he'd go through some struggles being so young, but he shows no signs of it. He's got no fear up there. He knows what he wants to do and he executes it."
Said Rendon: "It's always a positive when you don't have to go into the training room every day. That's one thing off your mind, so it's a little more free and easy right now. I always think I can play good. I just go out there and try to play my best. So if I happen to do good, I do good. If I happen to not, I'll get them next time."
Worth noting
• Micah Owings, a non-roster invitee who is trying to make the transition from pitcher to position player, started in left field and went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles and two RBIs to lift his Grapefruit League average to .333.
• Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos will start his second consecutive game against the Astros on Thursday. It will mark the first time this spring Ramos will play back-to-back games. Manager Davey Johnson declined to say who will be his starting catcher for Opening Day against the Marlins. Ramos is competing against Kurt Suzuki.
• Johnson said that third baseman Ryan Zimmerman is still slated to play defense for the first time this spring on Monday against the Tigers.
• Johnson said starting Thursday his power relievers -- Drew Storen, Tyler Clippard and Rafael Soriano -- will pitch every other day during the rest of spring.

Here are some of the notable quotes from around Major League Baseball this week:
"If the manager trusts you enough to put you in, you want to be ready. I watched the last couple of days. Any chance I can give the bullpen guys a chance to rest -- they've been taxed."
-- New York Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens commenting his first regular-season relief appearance since July 18, 1984, a span of 22 years, 341 days. (New York Daily News)
"It's Michael Young for me. This is the first time I have had a chance to watch him on a daily basis, and everything I saw from the other side is true. He comes every day to play."
-- Texas manager Ron Washington commenting on why he thinks the Rangers' shortstop should represent the team at the All-Star Game. (Dallas Morning News)
"The whole list is just a bunch of classy guys that played the game the right way. Obviously we're still not there yet. But to me I just feel they've played the game the right way and I'm doing my part to play the game the same way that they played it and then hand it off to the next generation and hopefully they'll do the same. I think that's probably the most important thing to me that makes me feel the best."
-- Houston second baseman Craig Biggio on approaching the 3,000-hit club. Of the 26 men to collect 3,000 hits, only eight accomplished the feat with one team: Hall of Famers Stan Musial (St. Louis Cardinals), Carl Yastrzemski (Boston Red Sox), Cal Ripken Jr. (Baltimore Orioles), George Brett (Kansas City Royals), Robin Yount (Brewers), Tony Gwynn (San Diego Padres), Al Kaline (Detroit Tigers) and Roberto Clemente (Pittsburgh Pirates). Biggio would be the ninth player to reach the plateau with one club. (Houston Chronicle)
"These people are baseball fans and they like seeing the underdog. They like seeing a fresh face, a different face, especially when you're doing something as special as he's doing."
-- Milwaukee Brewers manager Ned Yost commenting on first baseman Prince Fielder, who is leading or tied for the National League lead in home runs, RBIs and slugging percentage and leads the fan balloting for the All-Star Game among first basemen. No Brewer has been selected to start in an All-Star Game since second baseman Paul Molitor in 1988. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)
"That's something you live for. That's what this game is all about -- those battles. As we all know, he's a great hitter. We were just trying to get a groundball, and we got what we wanted. ... That's what drives us, having your back against the wall, and you persevere."
-- San Francisco Giants starter Noah Lowry on facing Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees Sunday. Lowry induced an RBI ground ball that helped him get out of a jam. (New York Daily News)
"I was absolutely floored when I heard the news. I've had a hard time dealing with it all day. He was one of my closest friends on the team at the time when he was here. We used to talk about the game and how to approach it. We used to help each other. When things were going bad he'd always be there for me, and I'd always try to be there for him if things went bad for him. Those years were difficult times for us here."

-- Cleveland outfielder Trot Nixon, on former Major League reliever Rod Beck, who passed away last weekend at the age of 38. (Cleveland Plain Dealer)
"I try to go out there every time and get as deep into the game as I can and keep the team in the game. There is a lot out of your control as a pitcher, so I try to keep it that simple. The way you get deep into games isn't just innings, it's pitching well and keeping the pitch count down."
-- Newly acquired St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Mike Maroth, who worked 7 1/3 innings in his St. Louis debut on Monday, on the importance of pitching effectively into the late innings. (St. Louis Post Dispatch)

"Ah, I was ready to go. One hundred percent, I thought I would make it. I heard him saying 'No,' but in my mind I was ready to go."
-- Philadelphia base-thief Carlos Ruiz, after stealing home against Cincinnati on Tuesday night. Third base coach Steve Smith had told Ruiz to consider taking home if teammate Michael Bourn swiped second base -- but only if the ball was thrown and was clearly past the pitcher's mound.

By Staff Writer | September 1, 2009
Grand Prairie, Texas-based American Eurocopter has officially launched its U.S. customer service and fleet operations center (CSFC). The facility, located at the company's Grand Prairie site, will serve as a global service and logistics network, along with sister fleet operations facilities in Europe (in La Durane, France) and Asia (Hong Kong, China). The CFSC opening followed an event in mid-July commemorating American Eurocopter's 40th year of business in the U.S. Opening the new CSFC "is not just a move to a new location with new technology," explains Larry Roberts, vice president of sales, marketing and customer support, but "a major step forward for our business, and part of an initiative designed to bring our customer service and support to the top of the industry." The company is investing in local repair and overhaul facilities, and beefing up supply chain and training services. American Eurocopter has also reorganized its marketing, sales and customer support functions into a single entity.
The company has high hopes for the future of its services and products. During the 40th year event, Rusty Weiger, deputy program executive officer for U.S. Army Aviation, noted that the UH-72A program "has accomplished what few — if any other — major programs have achieved: staying on price and schedule this far into the project, and I see no reason why we can't continue this performance. I also believe the Lakota program's reputation will position us — even with today's budget constraints — to grasp future opportunities that may arise, which will be a win for the U.S. Army, EADS North America and American Eurocopter."
American Eurocopter traces its roots to 1969, when Aerospatiale and LTV Aerospace formed Vought Helicopter in Texas. The Eurocopter subsidiary employs 750 workers in the U.S.

Racetrack Surface and Hind Limb Fetlock, Hoof Kinematics (AAEP 2012)
Symons and colleagues applied kinematic markers (seen here on a forelimb) to specific points on five Thoroughbred racehorses' lower hind limbs before sending the animals out to gallop on dirt surface and a synthetic surface.

Exactly how different racing surfaces affect horses--specifically the lower portions of the legs--remains unlcear. Anecdotal evidence suggests that synthetic track surfaces could be more assciated with some musculoskeletal injuries than dirt or turf surfaces. In order to understand the interaction between surface and horse health better, a research team recently evaluated Thoroughbreds' hind limb motion on dirt and synthetic surfaces.
Jennifer E. Symons, MS, a PhD student in Biomedical Engineering, at the University of California, Davis, J.D. Wheat Veterinary Orthopedic Research Laboratory, presented the study findings at the 2012 American Association of Equine Practitioners convention, held Dec. 1-5 in Anaheim, Calif.,
Symons and colleagues applied kinematic markers to specific points on five Thoroughbred racehorses' lower limbs before sending the animals out to gallop on a dirt surface and a synthetic surface. The team used high-speed video analysis to evaluate joint angles during workouts.
Their key findings included:
- When horses galloped on the dirt track, their hind fetlocks flexed 15° more than the when the animals worked on the synthetic track (maximum hyperextension was greater on the dirt track).
- When working on the dirt track, the horses experienced greater horizontal hoof slide--approximately 4 inches--than when breezing on the synthetic track, where hooves slid approximately 1.5 inches (i.e., hooves slid more readily a dirt track than on a synthetic track).
Symons and colleagues found that horses working on dirt surfaces similar to the study track appear to have greater forces placed on their proximal sesamoid bones and greater strain placed on their suspensory ligaments when compared to those working on the synthetic surfaces similar to the one studied. Regarding surfaces similar to those studied, horses would be more likely to injure their hind fetlock on the dirt surface than on the synthetic surface.
"Anecdotal reports suggest that the incidence of musculoskeletal injuries in the hind limbs has increased on synthetic surfaces," Symons explained. "Trainers hypothesize that these injuries are due to decreased hoof slide. The results of this study did confirm lesser hoof slide seen on synthetic surfaces. However, we currently have no data that supports a causal relationship between less hoof slide and increased injury.
"Future studies are focused on determining the ideal hoof surface interaction to reduce the incidence of injury," she concluded.
She noted that further studies are needed to help achieve the researchers ultimate goal of reducing injury incidence with different surfaces: "Ultimately, we wish to design consistent race surfaces that reduce the incidence of racehorse musculoskeletal injury," Symons concluded. "In the interim, altering horseshoe design by removing or adding traction devices like caulks or stickers may allow trainers to increase or decrease hoof slide for horses training or competing on different race surfaces," depending on trainers' personal preferences.

Note: Some break barrel action guns may be harder to break then others. It may take added force to break open the barrel for the first couple uses, after several uses, it will become easier. It is recommended to break it open, however not fully cock the gun, 10 times to loosen the barrel and make it easier for future use.

Hello everyone,
I want to learn more about deque, and previously I only have basic concept and samples about deque as a double-ended queue.
My questions are,
1. How it is implemented internally for the performance optimization for get front and end elements? Elements are stored in an array or linked list or?
2. Are there any documents about how to use deque effectively and efficiently (i.e. good patterns and anti-patterns of deque)? I have searched MSDN and Google and only found some sample samples. Any experience sharing or recommended articles?
thanks in advance,

See the Giants in action on YouTube.
Check back here soon to get in on the action in 2012.
Did you hear about the GS Giant Fall (down) get together in October?
In 2012, you can choose to do any or all these events... the schedule will come when it comes.

- Open Track riding - try not to go too nuts, ok?
These events are open to all riders, on all marques. You don't need to be a member of the BMW MOA, but you do need to register for our rally.
All events are free, except the Gypsy Tour, which provides 3 nights camping, 3 dinners, three breakfasts, free beer and world-class riding.
"What is a GS Giant" you ask?
A good navigator that rides off the beaten path to the event. Good storytelling, photo and/or video skills are also part of the picture. Ahead of the event, the GS Giant can take a dual-sport gypsy tour through the surrounding wilds. And at the event, on the track, the GS Giant will totally be taking everyone's lunch money.
GS Giant participants will have the opportunity to score points as they ride to and around the rally, as well as compete on the GS Trials Track at the rally. The more you participate in the various events, the better your chance to win the 2011 GS Giant title. And in addition to the recognition of your adoring fans, if you win you score an amazing Grand Prize. Even if you don't win, if you enter you'll be eligible for a some great door prizes and other swag.
