Robert Godwin has been covering the non-profit scene in Austin from the time of blue jeans and backyard barbeques to the black-tie galas of today. With over 20,000 events recorded by word and photo, Godwin leads the leagues in rubber chicken consumption. As a constant witness to the power of publicity, he now seeks to enlist a legion of assistants by sharing his knowledge of the publicity process.
What Our Clients Says
One of the most appropriately named events in Austin is the Shining Star Gala benefiting the Settlement Home for Children. A full house gathered at the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum for a "backyard barbeque" evening. Event Chairs Marian Kelley, Becky Liljenwall and Shana Slaughter delighted in the attendance along with Settlement Club President Betsy Giles. As the Club celebrates their 100th Anniversary this year, their impact on the community is bolstered with outstanding help from both the business and private community.
As the crowd arrived, there were beverages to sip as they browsed an extensive silent auction, a raffle for a Breitling Watch donated by Russell Korman Jewelers and boot-clad toes to tap to the music of John Arthur Martinez Band. Dinner by Rosemary's Catering soon followed. Master of Ceremonies Ed Clements brought proceedings to order. Introducing the Shining Stars of the evening (and the future) gave everyone a chance to applaud for the 2016 Community Youth Council. Of special note were Outstanding Youth Participants Grace Amiss and Laurel Fowler. The Council is filled with children whose families have led the way for decades as community citizens.
The Community Leadership Award was bestowed on Ann Butler. Listing her participation in the community would fill a fair sized book. The standing ovation she received was earned time and again.

The 2016 Philanthropy Day Awards Luncheon brought its largest crowd ever (850+) to the Hyatt Regency. Appropriately entitled "We can Change the World–one moment, one person at a time", the event created by the Association of Fundraising Professionals, Greater Austin Chapter (AFP) proves that title every day. Event Chair Amy Jackson offered greetings to all before deferring to AFP President Sally Blue. Master of Ceremonies Chikage Windler (KEYE-TV) then led the program of awards.
Honored this year: Missy Strittmatter (Outstanding Fundraising Professional); Walt Penn (Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser); Samsung Austin Semiconductor (Outstanding Philanthropic Large Corporation); Buildasign.com (Outstanding Philanthropic Small/Medium Corporation); Archer S. Hadley (Kelly Davidson Memorial Outstanding Philanthropic Youth); Topfer Family Foundation (Outstanding Philanthropic Foundation/Organization); Amplify Austin (Special Recognition Award) and Milton Verret (Outstanding Philanthropist). The abridged version of detailing what each of these honorees did to earn their awards took up most of the time of the program. Each of the honorees in their own way made a fundamental change for the better in the lives of thousands of people. Most of these folks and organizations have been working for years–so you can multiply last year's work by 10 or 20 or more. The youngest of the group, Archer S. Hadley, was in high school when he saw a access problem and put together the campaign that not only fixed the problem at his school, but is now working on more schools.
We can "Change the World"
The annual Angelina Eberly Luncheon hosted by the Austin History Center Association brought a full house to the Driskill Hotel. Folks were having so much fun visiting that considerable urging was needed to get them into the ballroom for the lunch and program. Association President Charles Betts offered greetings and invited all to enjoy lunch before beginning the program. On the podium was Moderator John Street (Principal, John Street Beachfront Properties) with panalists Sandy Gottesman (Founding Partner, Live Oak Gottesman), John Rosato (Principal, Southwest Strategies Group) and Tom Stacy (Founding Partner, Capridge Partners). They presented a fascinating look at Austin development during the 1970's to present. The changes to the Austin skyline have been remarkable both with new buildings and preservation of old buildings. Being Austin, the process of change had more than a few voices offering advice along the way. The resources of the Austin History Center were used by all in creating the new and preserving the old. Many thanks are due the sponsors of the luncheon who represent a wide swath of business and private community citizens.
Special kudos are also due to the Driskill Hotel as very gracious hosts and the kitchen staff led by Executive Chef Troy Knapp, Special Events Chef Brian Contreras and Pastry Chef Tony Sansalone. The lunch was superlative and the dessert by Chef Sansalone was just off the charts–(Helen Corbitt's Pecan Ball Dessert).

The Hispanic Alliance, a local non-profit 501C3 held it's 6th Annual Authentic Mexico Gala at the Long Center for the Performing Arts. The theme of this year's Gala revolved around the Mexican State of Chiapas, officially Estado Libre Y Soberano de Chiapas ( Free and Sovereign State of Chiapas). The event featured the authentic food, embroideries and textiles from this beautiful part of Mexico. Guests arrived at the Kodosky Lounge to hear the superlative music of Mariachi "Las Coronelas." Equal delight was found in the hors d'oeuvres created by Daniel Brooks (Licha's Cantina), Shawn Cirkiel (Parkside, The Backspace, Olive & June, Bullfight), Roberto Espinosa (Tacodeli), and Kristine Kittrell (Weather Up).
With much urging, guests were pried away from the musical and dining delights in the Lounge to gather in Dell Hall and be greeted by Mistress of Ceremonies Senator Judith Zaffirini. Two brief videos highlighting the wonders of Chiapas and the programs of the Hispanic Alliance followed before all attending moved onto the stage for dinner and the program. Chef David Garrido (dine at the Radisson) continued the high bar of the cuisine by elevating the tamale to haute cuisine. Elevating that bar even higher was Chef Marta Zepeda (Tierra Y Cielo, Gastronomic Hotel, Chiapas, Mexico) with a phenomenal Mole Coleto con Platano Macho. The stalwart crowd did find room for dessert–especially since it was created by Taylor Hall (Apis), Tracey Heffernan (The Auguste Escoffier School), Rebecca Rather and Erica Waksmunski (Parkside, Olive & June, The Backspace).
Honored this evening with the 2015 Trailblazer Award was none other than First Lady of Texas, Cecilia Abbott. The crowd signaled their approval with two standing ovations.
The Hispanic Alliance is supported solely by donations, including money raised at this annual Authentic Mexico Gala. The Hispanic Alliance mission is to provide programs that empower low-income individuals through high quality education, arts and resources in order to help them realize their full potential.
The Hispanic Alliance sponsors two programs – Austin Soundwaves and Emprendedor U (formerly known as MexNet Alliance).
Austin Soundwaves is currently bringing music education to low income students from elementary through high school in East Austin at East Austin Prep, Blackshear Elementary and Austin Achieve. Since 2011, Austin Soundwaves has been providing instruments and teaching students how to play in an orchestra setting through the renowned "El Sistema" music education program. While keeping a curriculum aligned with state and national standards, Austin Soundwaves has a proven record of empowering our students. As a result, they have seen improved self-esteem, higher engagement in school, better attendance, dedication to learning and, most importantly, higher graduation rates. "All this provides boundless opportunities for our students", said Patrick Slevin, Program Director. "In addition, our students acquire a new appreciation for music and the arts."The growth at Austin Soundwaves this year has been significant, having gone from 160 students at the end of the 2014/15 school year to serving over 300 students in 2015/16. Included in 2015/16 is a brand new one-to-one model of sustainability that will be launched at Trinity Episcopal School in which fees paid by each Austin Soundwaves student at the Trinity campus will support one Austin Soundwaves student in the East Austin schools.
Emprendedor U program is a unique business education program instructed in Spanish. Incomparable in Central Texas, the sessions escape the traditional teaching model and bring cutting edge classes covering topics such as innovation, scalability, technology and growth, along with marketing, sales, tax and legal topics.Close to 600 entrepreneurs have attended our seminars since 2009, entirely shifting the way they envision their business. Upon graduation from our program there is a recognizable transformation in the students' priorities and objectives for their business that now seem limitless.The faculty of Emprendedor U are volunteer instructors who are seasoned business owners with international teaching experience. The intent is to share their knowledge of real life business lessons and how to start and successfully run one's own business.With (4) five week seminars conducted throughout the year, Emprendedor U provides effective tools that empower business owners to make better decisions that impact their ventures. This year Emprendedor U will also host the 1st small business summit in Austin conducted entirely in Spanish. This will provide additional resources to our students and the growing community of Spanish speaking entrepreneurs.
Hispanic Alliance hold's 6th Annual Authentic Mexico Gala
As a first time event, The Art of the Gala was quite the success as the tickets sold out with a waiting list of hopefuls ready to fill any cancelations. Presented by GivingCity Austin, Austin Social Planner and Keep Austin Giving (St. David's Foundation), the event offered round table discussions with more than a dozen vastly experience folks about planning, executing and following up charity galas. In the attending crowd were people new to such galas as well as many with experience in the field. I observed a lot of note-taking going on. Those new to the scene were getting great advice on beginnings, while those with a number of galas already under their belt gathered tweaks to make their event even better.
After three sessions at the round tables, everyone moved to the ballroom for lunch and a panel discussion with four superbly chosen speakers. They included: Michael Barnes (Austin American Statesman), Lance Avery Morgan (The Society Diaries), Marji Calvert (Four Seasons Hotel), and Carla McDonald (The Salonniere). Even more note-taking ensued.
Special thanks are due to the sponsors: Four Seasons Hotel Austin, St. David's Foundation and PSAV Presentation Services. A standing ovation for all who gave of their time and expertise for the benefit of all attending. The event was a labor of love by Monica Maldonado Williams, Laura Villagran Johnson, Kate Perez, Lisa Trahan and Shannon Hartigan.

Cattle Baron's Ball Set for August 29th (American Cancer Society)
Judge Byrne sworn-in as President of NCJFCJ
Many of our CASA volunteers have experienced a swearing-in ceremony with The Honorable Darlene Byrne, raising their right hands and repeating the CASA volunteer oath. On July 28, at a ceremony in Austin both moving and entertaining, the tables were turned as Judge Byrne was sworn-in as president of the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ).
One of the largest and oldest judicial membership organizations in the nation, the NCJFCJ serves an estimated 30,000 professionals in the juvenile and family justice system, providing them with resources, knowledge, and training to improve the lives of families and children seeking justice. Their mission is to continuously improve the family court system and court practices and to raise awareness of the core issues that touch the lives of our nation's children and families. The model courts for child welfare and juvenile justice are designated by NCJFCJ, and under Judge Byrne's leadership, Travis County has been a model court for child welfare for 6 years.
This is an honor for Travis County and a wonderful recognition for Judge Byrne and her vision and leadership. The swearing-in ceremony in July brought together CASA board, staff and volunteers; lawyers from across Travis County; the rest of the Travis County judges; Mayor Steve Adler who served as honorary chair with First Lady Diane Land; The Honorable Sarah Eckhart; members of the city council; and many others who wanted to honor and celebrate Judge Byrne's work.
Judge Darlene Byrne with National Title
Under the leadership of Toast of the Town 2015 Chair, Tobie Funte Flannery, and Vice Chair, Julie Niedert, the St. David's Foundation saw a fund raising record set at just over $500,000! With the 2 to 1 match from the Foundation, that means $1.5 million for the St. David's Neal Kocurek Scholarship. As always, the success of Toast is a result of the outstanding sponsors and party hosts. The events this year offered authors, chefs, deluxe cars, all things UT, history and sensational wines. All this fun resulted in 54 Kocurek scholarships and 39 Austin Community College scholarships. The young men and women receiving them came from throughout Central Texas and will attend colleges across the state. They are the faces of medical care in the years ahead.
St. David's Foundation "Toast of the Town" Sets Record
The 2015 Manos de Cristo Gala brought a sold-out crowd to the Moody Theater at ACL Live. Event Co-Chairs Beverly Chasse and Dr. Tony Pacheco, Jr. worked with a fabulous committee in pulling together an evening of friends, live auction, casino fun and dancing to the music of The Pictures. Much encouragement was needed to move the crowd, visiting on the terrace, into the theater for dinner and the program. A welcome from Manos Executive Director Julie Ballesteros gave way to Master of Ceremonies Ron Oliveira who, ever so smoothly, kept the evening flowing. A particularly outstanding invocation came from the Honorable Karen Hughes. Gala Co-Chairs Beverly and Tony told their story of they came to be supporters of Manos de Cristo. It was a helping hand to each, combined with a focused work ethic, that helped them achieve so much at this point in their life. Their example made it all the easier for auctioneer Gayle Stallings to extract record sums from the crowd. (Personally, I appreciated the "fund a need" portion of the auction coming first as I can't participate in bidding thousands of dollars, but I can raise my bid number to simply make a donation at an appropriate level for me. That allowed me, and dozens more in the crowd, to participate.) You might think folks would be exhausted after the very "live" auction, but casino action and dancing beckoned–and the crowd responded into the late hours.
The mission of Manos de Cristo "is to empower low-income individuals with a loving hand of assistance and without regard to age, gender, race, or religious preference." They serve that mission by providing a reduced cost dental clinic, an educational center offering a variety of classes, an emergency food and clothing pantry, and two outfits and Back-to-School supplies for children.

The 2015 Shining Star Gala benefiting the Settlement Home for Children filled the Bob Bullock State History Museum with friends and fans of the Home. Event Chairs Brenda Jones, Laurie Maccini and Lissa Whitehurst were on hand to greet the arriving guests. A particular bonus for those attending was the opportunity to view the various exhibits at the Museum, including the ongoing exhibit detailing the ship La Belle. Retrieved from the Gulf, La Belle was one of the ships from La Salle's expedition to the New World in 1684. It took some work to pull the guests from visiting and viewing to be seated for dinner. Music from the John Arthur Martinez Band filled the hall as folks got in line for the buffet by Rosemary's Catering. Ed Clements served as Master of Ceremonies for the presentation of the 2015 Community Youth Council and the awarding of the Community Leadership Award to Nancy Nash Harper. Nancy has served the community in so many ways personally, and as a business owner, Capitol Chevrolet, supported innumerable organizations. That philanthropic legacy begun by Dorothy and Charles Nash, continued by Nancy, still continues through her sons, Thomas and Will.
The Settlement Home for Children seeks to promote healing and growth in children, young adults and families through a continuum of care, support and resources. The Home maintains a Residential Treatment Center, Therapeutic Group Homes, Foster Family Program, Adoption Program and Transitional Living Program. In 2014, the Home consummated five adoptions, served 159 children and their families, provided 8 scholarships to young women, raised over $600,000 at their Garage Sale and provided more than 1200 vouchers for those in need to use at the Garage Sale.

Cheng, WK and Galliot, F and Collings, N (1989) On the time delay in continuous in-cylinder sampling from IC engines. SAE Technical Papers.Full text not available from this repository.
When gas sample is continuously drawn from the cylinder of an internal combustion engine, the sample that appears at the end of the sampling system corresponds to the in-cylinder content sometime ago because of the finite transit time which is a function of the cylinder pressure history. This variable delay causes a dispersion of the sample signal and makes the interpretation of the signal difficult An unsteady flow analysis of a typical sampling system was carried out for selected engine loads and speeds. For typical engine operation, a window in which the delay is approximately constant may be found. This window gets smaller with increase in engine speed, with decrease in load, and with the increase in exit pressure of the sampling system.

Seven hits spark Wisconsin to 5-2 win versus No. 22 Nebraska
LINCOLN, Neb. -- Big clutch hitting powered Wisconsin to a 5-2 win against No. 22 Nebraska Saturday afternoon at Bowlin Stadium. The Badgers used seven hits to score five runs and defeat Nebraska on their home field, a place where the Huskers rarely lose.
Nebraska (29-9 overall, 7-3 Big Ten) is 23-3 at home in the past two seasons, with two of the three losses coming at the hands of the Badgers.
Wisconsin (29-7, 7-4) scored first in the third inning when a leadoff walk by Marissa Mersch sparked the Badgers' offense. A pair of back-to-back singles loaded the bases and fielder's choice by Mary Massei scored the game's first run.
The Huskers answered back with a run of their own in the bottom half to tie the game, using two hits to score the run before leaving the bases loaded at the end of the inning.
Nebraska again left the bases loaded in the bottom of the fourth, before taking a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the fifth, putting the Badgers on the ropes.
Wisconsin responded in the top of the sixth with four runs to take a commanding 5-2 lead. Massei walked to start the inning, but found herself stranded on first following a pair of strikeouts. One swing by Stephanie Peace changed the game for the Badgers.
Peace's double to centerfield scored Massei from first and forced a Husker pitching change. With Peace on second, Shannel Blackshear stepped to the plate and wasted no time putting the Badgers out in front. Blackshear's eighth home run of the season went over the centerfield fence, giving UW a 4-2 lead.
Wisconsin wasn't done yet. A pair of walks and a single loaded the bases for the Badgers and a Husker miscue gave Wisconsin the 5-2 lead.
Cassandra Darrah buckled down, inducing three groundouts and three fly outs to finish out the game with the win.
Darrah went the distance in the circle, throwing all seven innings, allowing two runs on six hits and striking out three.
Emily Lockman suffered the loss, pitching the first 5.2 innings and allowing three runs on five hits and striking out seven. Tatum Edwards entered the game in relief, pitching the final 1.1 innings, allowing two runs on two hits.

Local DRT Registrar asked to serve on state committee
By Billie Nast Contributed
Caddel-Smith Chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas received news that our Registrar, Roberta Himebrook, has been asked to join the State Membership Committee for this term by the State Registrar General. Roberta was selected "for her invaluable knowledge of DRT and her dedication." We are so very proud of the good work that Roberta does as our registrar. We are lucky to have her. She is a devoted member and officer, always willing to help others.
As a child, Roberta lived in a number of places in Texas as well as Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the Philippines. She was born at Camp Atterbury, Indiana, as her mother followed her father around the country before he was sent to Europe during WWII. She descends from the Hugh Parsons family.
She taught at the University of Texas in El Paso before marrying Lt. Richard Himebrook at Laredo AFB. They had known each other throughout their school years. Richard was a career Air Force Officer.
Richard and Roberta had a son, Les. He is very dear to her and very supportive. She participated in Scouts and children's church activities as Les was growing up. He graduated from the Air Force Academy and was also a career Air Force officer, retiring as a Lt. Colonel. Roberta has a wonderful daughter-in-law and two very special grandsons.
Roberta taught at Northern Arizona College while her husband was in Vietnam. When their son got older, she taught part time at Kent State and Bellevue College. She was the Assistant Dean of Women at Mississippi State College for Women. (Military wives move around a lot.) While her husband got his master's degree at Texas A&M, she was the Weather Wives President at Texas A&M. She taught at New Mexico State-Alamogordo from 1983 to 2005. While there, she was the Division Head of Math, Science and Technology. She retired as Professor Emerita. She was named in the Who's Who Among America's Teachers. She received a state Award of Excellence for her Teaching and was named Woman of Merit 2006 by the Alamogordo News. She was the State President of the New Mexico Mathematics Association of Math Teachers of New Mexico Two Year Colleges. She was inducted into the NMMATYC Hall of Fame for Mathematics Teaching Excellence.
As they moved around the country, Roberta served as treasurer for several Officers Wives Clubs. While living in New Mexico, Roberta served as Regent for her DAR Chapter. She has been a DRT member since June 7, 1998, joining our chapter while living in New Mexico. She and her husband moved to Bandera, where Richard passed away in April 2014.
In retirement, she has not been idol. Her current activities are: active member of Caddel-Smith serving as our Chapter Registrar, President of Athena Study Club, Civil Air Patrol Personnel & Administration Officer for the South West Region – a 6 state area, member of Bandera United Methodist Church where she is on numerous committees, Leader of their Stephen Ministry, teaches a Bible study, and Chairman of the safety committee for her neighborhood. Her favorite and most honored activity is being a grandmother. She is a dear and faithful friend to one and all.

Ashe Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Ok so this is my build,
first of all I would like to ask your forgiveness about my grammar, it sucks XD.
K I know that you think, well, umm this build is too expensive, but i promise you Ashe is such a great farmer that you'll get the money in no time.
you start of with boots of speed since Ashe is slow at the beginning this will help you escaping a lot of certain death situations.
the B.F sword or as i like to call it the best friend sword is an item that Ashe can acquire as early as lvl 10 or even less if you are lucky and from there getting infinty edge is a peace of cake
i really doubt that you would be able to get beyond black cleaver in the game cause well inf sword and black cleaver are very expensive items which i think you'll have when the game is about done i added the other items just in case the game is really pro and is very long
i chose heal and teleport because first of all ashe is a squishy so heal can help you a lot if you try to defend or escape a battle alive
i chose teleport because as i said ashe is slow even with boots so teleport will help you with ganks,kills,assists and so on
the best feature about ashe is her ultimate and since it has a low cool down you can use it a lot to help your teammates get kills and successful ganks use it smartly don't use it if you think your enemy will run away and try to use it from a bit of a long distance so your enemy won't see it coming and escape
that's all folks i would like you to rate it and tell me what you think ^^ goodluck :P

Bomb attack on Shiites near Baghdad kills 18
Attacks around Baghdad and north Iraq left 33 people dead on Wednesday, including 18 members of a Shiite family killed by militants, the latest in a nationwide surge of violence.
The unrest came a day after a wave of bombings targeting Shiites in Baghdad and shootings and bombings elsewhere killed 61 people, further raising fears Iraq is slipping back into the all-out sectarian bloodshed that left tens of thousands dead in 2006 and 2007.
Authorities, meanwhile, announced the arrest of an alleged senior aide to Izzat al-Duri, the highest-ranking member of executed dictator Saddam Hussein's regime still on the run.
Wednesday's violence struck towns on the outskirts of Baghdad as well as predominantly Sunni cities in the north of the country, with the deadliest attack hitting south of the capital.
Shortly after midnight, militants bombed adjacent houses belonging to Shiite Muslim brothers in the town of Latifiyah, which lies about 40 kilometres (25 miles) south of Baghdad.
A total of 18 people were killed, including five women and six children, and a dozen others were wounded, according to an army officer and a doctor at a nearby hospital.
Latifiyah lies within a confessionally-mixed region known as the "Triangle of Death", so named for the brutal violence that plagued the area during the peak of Iraq's sectarian war in 2006-2007.
Last week, another attack on a Shiite family in the same town killed at least five people.
No group claimed responsibility for the latest violence, but Sunni militants linked to Al-Qaeda frequently carry out attacks against Iraq's Shiite Muslim majority who they regard as apostates.
Separate attacks in Besmaya, Iskandiriyah and Tarmiyah, also on Baghdad's outskirts, killed nine people, including seven soldiers.
Bombings in two Sunni-majority cities north of the capital killed six people, including five policemen who died in a suicide car bombing against a police station in Mosul, one of Iraq's most restive cities.
The latest bloodshed came as Baghdad was still reeling from a wave of car bombs targeting Shiite neighbourhoods on Tuesday evening that killed 50 people, while unrest elsewhere left 11 others dead.
Among the attacks was a car bombing in the central commercial district of Karrada where four storefronts were badly damaged.
Workers were still picking up the pieces from the previous evening's violence on Wednesday.
At one restaurant, where windows were completely shattered by the blast, three men were consoling each other as they tried to clean up the aftermath of the attack.
"Please, we have cried enough," one of them told another, before himself breaking into tears, while one man held up the clothes of a friend who died in the attack and shouted, "These are his clothes — what should I do with them?"
Attacks have surged since the beginning of the year, killing more than 3,900 people already in 2013, according to an AFP tally.
AKE Group, a risk consultancy, said it recorded an average of 155 deaths per week since April, compared to an average of around 60 per week from the beginning of 2011 until April of this year.
"This is a clear escalation and AKE expects conditions to remain more hostile than usual for the foreseeable future," it said in a statement.
Iraqi officials have trumpeted wide-ranging operations targeting militants in which hundreds of alleged fighters have been captured and dozens killed.
On Wednesday, a spokesman for the Counter Terrorism Service announced the arrest of Hussein al-Khazraji, who security forces say is a top aide to Izzat al-Duri, Saddam's vice president.
Saddam's Baath party has said Duri, the king of clubs in the US deck of cards showing the most-wanted members of the ousted president's regime, died in 2005.
But audio messages have been attributed to him in recent years and he is accused of orchestrating violent attacks.
Despite the string of operations and arrests, a long-running political deadlock combined with frustrations in Iraq's Sunni Arab minority and concerns that neighbouring Syria's civil war is spilling over into Iraq have fuelled warnings that violence is unlikely to abate.

A Request for Reader Aid
Chatterbox feels certain that somewhere on the Web there must be a site that generates limericks from words or phrases punched in by readers. He can't find one, though. If anyone knows of one, can you notify this column? If there isn't one, perhaps an enterprising Slate reader will design one. Please don't write Chatterbox to alert him to the various limerick contests, limerick anthologies, etc., on the Web, of which Chatterbox is already aware. Here, for example, is a 1995 entry in the Toast Point Brady Bunch Limerick Contest, from one Artie the Jungle Troll (it's one of the few that can be published on a family Web site):
While pressing her bell-bottomed jeans
Marcia, she primps and she preens
And Jan, with an Uzi
And nary a "Scuse me!"
Plots Marcia's fate ... smithereens.

Royal Cornwall Hospital cardiologist investigated
A heart specialist in Cornwall has been told to stay at home while concerns about his work are investigated.
The Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust (RCHT) has not named the consultant cardiologist involved.
Andy Virr, director for medicine, said "potential" concerns had been identified through routine screening.
He added that so far the hospital had identified four patients where there was a "potential for harm" and they were being investigated further.
The consultant cardiologist is one of eight at the Royal Cornwall Hospital.
The trust said patients did not need to contact the hospital directly as it would write to them individually and contact their GPs if any concerns were identified.
In a statement, Mr Virr said the trust was "committed to continually improving clinical practice and following the principles of transparency and openness" as set out in the Francis Report 2013.
"We will always act to put patients first and be honest when we do not meet the high standards we expect of ourselves," he added.
Robert Francis QC was the chairman of the inquiry into failings at Stafford Hospital which looked into a higher-than-expected number of deaths at the hospital between 2005 and 2008.
In a separate statement released to the BBC, Mr Virr said the trust was also taking action to improve its cardiac services.
'Pending list'
The Cornish trust was recently criticised by Sir Roger Boyle, the former government heart "tsar" who quit as one of its non-executive members in June.
Sir Roger said the hospital's cardiology department had "hundreds" of non-emergency patients on its waiting list.
"There are a lot of patients who have been referred to cardiology specialists who are on a so-called pending list awaiting a decision as to whether they need further investigation or treatment," Sir Roger said.
Mr Virr admitted the trust currently had 275 patients waiting for cardiology outpatient follow-up appointments and a further 82 patients waiting for a planned cardiac investigation, such as angiograms.
He said the backlog was due to "high demand and limited capacity" but that action was being taken and patients would be seen "on both their need and length of wait".
"We have already put on additional clinics, recruited locum doctors and will shortly go to advert for two permanent consultant cardiologists," Mr Virr said.
He said all patients would be seen by the end of November, again adding that it would not be necessary for patients to contact the trust as it would write to them individually.
"We will always act to put patients first and be honest when we do not meet the high standards we expect of ourselves," the statement concluded.

Fairy dust, lollipops and a marzipan Brandenburg Gate among royal gifts
Two giant lollipops, a pair of booties and a wooden rattle were just some of the presents Prince George and Princess Charlotte received from well-wishers last year.
The Duke of Cambridge and Prince of Wales were given dozens of gifts for the youngsters while on official overseas trips during 2015.
Well-wishers gave the proud father and doting grandfather everything from books and baby clothes to toys for the popular prince and princess.
Charles and Camilla hold gifts they received during a visit to Tanzania
Charles received what is probably one of his most unusual presents - a packet of fairy dust when in New Zealand.
And Prince Harry was also given unconventional gifts, from a packet of McVitie's Jaffa Cakes to Weetabix cereal.
The items were named among a list of official gifts received by members of the Royal Family during royal engagements at home and abroad during 2015.
During Charles and Camilla's visit to New Zealand in November they were given a pair of booties, an organic wool hat, a vest and blanket for Charlotte by an unnamed individual.
David Carter, the speaker of the New Zealand parliament, presented the royal couple with a woollen poncho for the baby Princess and a woollen tank top for her older brother.
There were more gifts for the children when the Prince and Duchess visited the Republic of Ireland in May last year.
A member of the public presented two giant lollipops and a ceramic money box for each of the children, while an unnamed individual gave a wooden rattle for Charlotte.
George was in the thoughts of the Emperor and Empress of Japan who presented William with a soft toy for his son during a trip to the Far East early last year.
In China William was given two sets of the following gifts for his son - a toy telephone, packet of cards, paper flower, toy aeroplane and packet of postcards all from an unknown individual.
Harry missed the birth of his niece, Charlotte, who was born on May 2, as he was in the southern hemisphere but he too received gifts for the newest member of the Royal Family.
While touring New Zealand Harry was presented with three soft toy penguins, a quilt, bib and a snowsuit. The last was a gift from Lisa Kingi-Bon, chief executive of the New Zealand Rugby Foundation.
During her state visit to Germany, President Joachim Gauck gave the Queen a model of the Brandenburg Gate - one of Berlin's most important monuments - made out of marzipan.
A member of the public gave Harry what appeared to be a shopping bag of random items during his tour May tour of New Zealand.
It featured everything from a packet of McVitie's Jaffa Cakes and a jar of Marmite to a "bag of pineapple lumps", while another well wisher presented him with a box of Weetabix and some chocolates.
Official gifts can be worn and used, but are not considered the royals' personal property. They do not pay tax on them.
They can eat any food they are given and perishable official gifts with a value less than £150 can also be given to charity or staff.
Gifts cannot be sold or exchanged and eventually become part of the Royal Collection, held in trust by the Queen for her successors and the nation.

Amanda Seyfried
Celebrities Home / Entertainment Home
Like Hayden Panettiere, Amanda Seyfried seemed destined to be an entertainer. Born in 1985 in Pennsylvania, Amanda began modeling at 11. And like most young actresses just starting out, Amanda found initial work in the soap business, in this case the now defunct "Guiding Light" and "All My Children." It was "Mean Girls" in 2004 that broadened Amanda's skills, and in the following year, "Nine Lives" and "Alpha Dog" followed.
In 2006, Amanda landed a role on the HBO drama, "Big Love," and two years later, she was cast as Meryl Streep's daughter in "Mamma Mia!" In 2009's "Jennifer's Body," Amanda again proved adept at handling supporting lead roles, though she is the titular character in "Chloe." Her filmography for upcoming projects indicates larger roles in big movies, and her singing abilities has definitely not gone unnoticed, but the coveted, breakout lead role has continued to elude her.
Movie roles also include "Lovelace" and "Ted 2."
Follow the latest about Amanda on our blog here.

Gold Mine Gum
This was one of the worst purchases I would make as a kid. I love little nuggets of gum (and often bought those Chicklets Tinys as well) but really the selling point here was the fact that it came in a real cloth bag! Still, it was a sweet treat with a reusable package (I would keep little pieces of beach glass or pennies flattened by trains in mine).
I have no idea if this is the same brand that I would buy at the Stop 'n Go in Munroe Falls, OH. I seem to recall a little miner in a big hat grinning his fool's gold heart out on the front, but I might have imagined that.
Gold Mine Gum is just little candy coated nuggets of gum. I recall it being a fruity flavor (ala Juicyfruit) when I was a kid, but this stuff tastes kind of like cherry to me.
The gum was actually inside a little clear cellophane bag inside, which is a good thing. After I took the photo (and chewed up everything outside of the bag in the picture), I didn't put it back in the wrapper. The stuff I chewed right then was nice and soft. The stuff I'm chewing right now as I write this is a little crumbly to start, but as with trading card gum wafers, it softens up eventually. It's sweet and sugary and then loses its flavor. The bubbles are okay, not super-smooth like the high-tech bubble gums that came long later.
But back to the bad purchase ... there's not a lot in here. 2 ounces of gum isn't much and at a retail price of $1.25, there are better deal out there. But there's something about the idea of chewing representations of an ore that may one day be made into your dental work that's appealing.
Note: this isn't the same brand of gum from when I was a kid.

On the Road: Wedding Expertise in Los Angeles
On the Road recap by Blake Gardner
The future of wedding photography
Wedding photographer Yervant highly encourages photographers to think about the future of the industry. There are so many "shoot & burn" photographers out there who are charging a fraction of the price that it takes to maintain a sustainable wedding photography business. He suggested giving clients a finished product that is a work of art, rather than just a disk with digital images on it. Then when the wedding party and guests see the high quality products, they'll be way more impressed by your work and much more likely to recommend you. When you give your clients a disk, they are likely to just take it to Costco and get the cheapest prints possible. Do you really want your work represented by photos printed at Costco? Not to mention that these cheap prints don't have the longevity of the archival quality prints you should be offering your clients. Now, this doesn't mean that you cannot give your clients a disk with the images, but think about waiting until they have received your finished products. Once they compare your prints to the cheaper ones, there is no doubt that they will come back to order more products from you.
It's important to realize that as wedding photographers we need to keep our prices at a place where we can have a sustainable business. It would be far better for all of us if we could all shoot 40 weddings a year for around $4,000 each than if we shot 80 weddings a year at $1,500 each. And people will pay this price if you show them the high quality products that you deliver.
I was able to attend three hands-on sessions, with about 35-40 people per instructor. With this group size, Jerry's class was the most beneficial to me because he took the time to wirelessly connect his camera to an iPad and had one of his team members walk around with it after each shot so we could all get a good look. He used his off-camera flash in ways I've never seen and also did a demo with the new Ice Light, which made everyone whip out their credit cards without a second thought. He also took us outside and showed us how to use direct sunlight instead of just running into the shade to get the perfect light. Jerry is also quite entertaining, which is part of the reason he is so successful. A boring wedding photographer will get boring expressions. A wedding photographer who knows how to entertain a crowd and elicit an emotional response will capture priceless moments that will turn a regular wedding into a wonderful tale of love and celebration.
Growing your client base and getting the word out
The presenters I was exposed at this event really know what they're doing and shared lots of great ideas about how to expand a wedding photography business. Vanessa Joy and Rob Adams presented their business model where they capitalize on the fact that, for every wedding they shoot, they have a room filled with potential future clients. Vanessa and Rob have perfected the "same day edit" where they bedazzle wedding guests by displaying photos of the wedding at the reception. During the cocktail hour, Vanessa hands her camera cards to her assistant (not a second shooter but an assistant who is solely there to carry bags and processes images) who then quickly copies the files onto her laptop. Then Vanessa will spend about 30 minutes selecting her top images that tell the story of the day. This will normally be a selection of roughly 100 images that she'll do a quick color adjustment to in Lightroom. Then her assistant will copy the files onto an iPad that gets placed on its own table, surrounded by cards that give people instructions on how to view "all of the images tomorrow." That's right; she gets the proofs up online that quickly.
Furthermore, during the reception her assistant also uploads these files to her Facebook page and tags the bride and groom in the photos so now all of their family and friends who aren't at the wedding can see the photos the day of. Her assistant also uploads the files to her blog and submits the files to various wedding magazines and blogs using Two Bright Lights. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, her assistant also prints out about a dozen images that get placed in a small album (using adhesives), which they deliver to the bride so when she's walking around, talking to all of her guests, she has a book of photos to show them. Talk about instant gratification! Rob also mentioned that he does a same-day edit as well, and he's a videographer.
The review process
I have to disclose something quite embarrassing. In the 10 years I've been in business for myself, I have never had a legitimate portfolio review.
Sure, I've gotten feedback from friends and clients, but I haven't had a peer go through it with me.
When my three minutes were up, I was feeling like I wanted a more in-depth look at my portfolio. With the limited time slot I didn't get a chance to have feedback on my technique, lighting, and composition. I was left wanting more.
Lasting impressions
This was one of the best grouping of presenters I've seen in a while. All of them not only produced top quality work, but they knew how to teach what they do to a room full of people hungry for information. Most of them focused on making sure that your quality of work is higher, which will help once you get more brides visiting your website and ultimately lead to more business.

BB, I'm not sure which printer Vanessa was using. There are plenty of quality 4x6 printers out there that produce in no time. She was only printing about a dozen 4x6s and placing them into a sleeved photo album. That doesn't take up too much time and you're also only giving them the best of the best so it has a great impact.
Great article! Did you get info on how the assistant prints the images quickly enough to go get the prints and put them in the album in time to deliver to the bride at the reception?

Thanks so much for your wonderful products. . . .I am buying the 1000 Quick Writing Ideas right now! I also use the books as a parent. My son absolutely loves the Math Time Savers! He likes it that I make copies of some of the sheets for him, hole-punch them, and put them in his binder. I have had requests from his teachers about where I got the sheets from, and of course, I always refer them to your website! If I had the extra money, I would buy all of your products. . .and over time. . .I probably will! Thanks so much for taking the time to develop these reproducibles. . .they truly are TIME-SAVERS!

Your Teacher's Binder makes me look super professional and put together, as promised!
(Steenson, Newmark Elementary School, San Bernardino, California, USA)
As a pre-service teacher, I am always on the look out for creative, well designed materials that are attractive and professionally designed. Your products combine these two qualities. I have just ordered, and downloaded two books. I appreciate the ease of downloading and the neatness of the page designs. I really like the Just Multiply It strategy!!! I have worked as a teaching assistant and as a long term substitute. I am always "cleaning up" messy or cramped handouts and designing forms for keeping track of assessments. Again, I appreciate your work.
Vicki Laster

Thank you! I received the file and am printing it now. I appreciate the prompt response. I provide reading and writing workshops in my county and will be sure to share your website with others. You may use my comments, it is the least I can do! The variety of materials I have found so far in your books is going to be a tremendous help to me! The new book looks like another winner! Thank you for forwarding the samples. I plan to use a couple of them this week.

Thank you for bringing quality teaching materials to the desktops of teachers around the globe!

Thank you for the wonderful customer service!! I didn't download the books last night, but I did get to the task a few minutes ago. Everything looks wonderful by the way. I have returned to teaching after taking several years off to be with my own children, so I know that the materials will certainly save me time and effort.

Why are we here?
In the fast changing, ever more frenetic world, life needs a sense of rootedness.
As has been said before, it is difficult to know where we're going, unless we know where we have come from.
In a new development such as this, the builders give us the structures for living – homes, roads, schools and shops, and all the rest. But it is for us, as we move in, and live and work together, to create a sense of community among ourselves.
We also believe that life is less than complete without a spiritual dimension to it; and for us, the Christian faith is the best way to express that sense of spirituality; as we seek to honour the God who has created us and who sustains us through all of life; and as we find ways of engaging with and working in our community to serve the needs of others and to show others the love of God; by following the example and teaching of Jesus.
So why Church?
We believe that people are created to live in community rather than in isolation and that the increasing privatisation and individualising of human life is actually harming society.
It is the same for our spiritual life, which best finds expression as people come together to express, through worship and working and learning together, who we are in our Christian faith; and as we express that faith through our daily living, always wanting to provide a positive influence on our community and our society.
Christianity was never intended to be a privatised religion; and the church is not intended to be a place of refuge from the world but a stepping off point, as we take our place in the world; taking the love and grace and mercy of God with us as we go.

Here is how you can learn, serve, and grow at WayPoint.
Life's an adventure…let's share in the journey together!
"Love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:39). Jesus told his followers that this command is right up there with loving God. In fact, loving our neighbors is one way we show our love for God.At WayPoint Church we want to love our community–the Key Peninsula–through service. We want to serve our community in big ways and small. Whether it's a planned event like Vacation Bible School our Candy Carnival in October or just being the type of neighbors who look out for others, we want to follow Jesus' example of servanthood.
Using media to spread the gospel is a growing area of ministry in our church. We try to use these tools as best as possible for kingdom purposes. Each Sunday a team is needed to provide quality sound and media for our services. All of our weekly sermons are uploaded to our website. Listen HERE.
Women's groups give the ladies in our church family special times of interaction. Our women's groups, located in several locations throughout our community, are times of Bible study, prayer (and, of course, food). These groups provide a refreshing discipleship opportunity for the women in the church. Click HERE to see what's happening with the women of WayPoint.
GLOBAL MISSIONS At WayPoint Church we are passionate about sharing with others the hope and truth of Jesus Christ. While we want to reach our neighbors, we also want to impact the whole world. Jesus told his followers to "go into all the world and preach the good news". That's why we help support ten full-time mission workers from Alaska to Pakistan.
We have partnered with a number of organizations we have found to be faithful to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20).
Members of our community and church join in prayer in our sanctuary every Monday morning between the hours of 5:30- and 8:00am. Find out more at KeyPenPrayer.org

* Properly center yourself.
* Invite a proper deity to provide extra power.
* Pay attention to the timing of the reading for specific types.
* Focusing Technique
Close your eyes and breathe deeply, filling your belly with air and your body with energy. Now imagine your skin becoming translucent and the energy from your body moving out through your skin and into the space around your body. Feel this energy body as a "receptive outer skin", able to sense in its own way, through emotions and fleeting impressions. Breathe and notice your thoughts and feelings.
* Work with your psychic energy.
* Start any divination session with a protection technique of using white light. Visualize a cloud of bright light encompassing you, at least 2 feet out, from your head to your toes. Put together your index and middle fingers, forming a type of pointer. Pointing down, draw an imaginary circle of white light around yourself and any materials you will be using.
When your session is done, visualize the circle lifting into the air through the ceiling, through the roof, into the atmosphere. Wash or shake your hands to be rid of excess or energy residue.
* Keep a "Divination Diary" for every time you do a reading. Record your thoughts, goals, successes and failures. You will be able to tell what worked, what didn't and why.
++ Include:
Day of the week
Moon phase
The place where it was performed
Type of weather
Explore how you were feeling
Record the type of divination used
Questions you asked
Thoughts about what you saw, thought, felt, or sensed.
* True power comes from within.
* Increasing your level of concentration will increase your psychic abilities.
* Specific Times for Divination Techniques
* Use Spirit Talking Boards from Monday to Thursday.
* Use Cartomacy (reading playing cards) any day of the week.
* Crystal gazing and scrying is good on Monday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
* Use Runes on Friday and Saturday.
* Use pendulums on Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.
Using a compass, centre yourself in the proper direction. Using a simple form of divination (like a pendulum) try asking the same question in each of the four directions. See if you can sense any difference. Note this in your journal.

Huntington Resident Wins Arts Award/
Our Lady of Mercy Academy senior Bronwyn Kelly, of Huntington, won a Juror's Award for her mixed media tunnel book piece titled "Layered Progression," a piece in the Advanced Visions 11 High School Artists of Excellence Exhibit at C.W. Post.
"This handmade book is in my opinion the most unique art piece in the entire exhibit," said Professor Neill Slaughter. "Not only is it unique, Bronwyn's theme of 'nature versus man' is universal.
Kelly presented the viewer with a book, the cover of which has an image of an old weathered tree with its bark worn and roots appearing long and deep. The cover has a jagged hole torn through it revealing a dark gray scene of factories spewing smoke and soot. Behind the second layer is an illustration of a person's brain surrounded by little metal gears whirling around in the blank space outside the brain.
"This sensitively executed combination of drawing and three-dimensional layering of handmade paper mixed with metal bits and pieces packs a powerful question for the viewer to contemplate. Is Humanity going to be able to figure out a solution to have modern 'civilization' live in harmony with nature (in a sustainable manner) or are we just going to keep polluting the earth until there is no more civilization?" Slaughter said.

Closeout Item
This product is a closeout item and can not be returned or exchanged.
Hammer brings back the good old days with the Blue Hammer Bowling Ball. By combining a Performance Urethane veneer and a Modified Vibe core, Hammer has created a ball that rolls like the old school ball, but isn't old. Retaining the control of yester-year and the performance of today, Hammer looks to add another options for young and older bowlers alike. Get a blast from the past with the Hammer Blue Hammer Ball today!
Received the Hammer Blue very quickly via Bowling.com's phone assistance, item exceeded expectations and is a much high quality ball than is advertised or expected. A go-to choice for broken down conditions or backends and spares, another plus when working on "mark" consistency. There have been no surprises.
I used the blue on dry lanes and it was like using a high end ball great as a spare too
Overall a great ball. The Vibe weight block combined with the urethane cover stock give a smooth ball with a punch.
I'm a 2 finger bowler with high Revs. Ball speed is between 17 and 17.5. I have been using the storm supernatural for the first half of my bowling season and the ball just isn't very consistent and I've been having issues with it carrying. Last season I was using an old urethane ball, the colunmbia T/I beast. averaged 208. I switched to the super natural because the T/I Beast was only 14lbs and about 15 years old. So now I am back to the old stand by urethane. The Blue Hammer is a dream come true, just what I needed. It's smooth and hits the pins hard. Used it 2 weeks now, 684 and 722. The really nice thing about the ball is that your window for a miss is quite large. Miss to the outside and it comes back to the pocket, miss the inside and it holds it line. Can't wait to finish up the rest of the season with it. If you are a high rev 2 finger bowler, this is an absolute must have.
Works great on dry lanes and very well for picking up spares. Great control.
Use for spare ball and very dry conditions
I've been using the same Blue Hammer since the mid-90's and recently started bowling again after a 15 year hiatus. Then I was bowling 2 leagues and several tournaments per year. I've had several weeks of league bowling on different lane conditions than 15 years ago, so there were adjustments to my technique that had to be factored in before I began to feel comfortable with it again. I would not hesitate to recommend the "old school" ball to anyone who is looking for a good solid scoring ball. I use it for both strike and spares and am pleased with the results. Barring any physical problems with this 55 year old body, I feel confident that I will be back up over 200 using the Blue Hammer. Don't think that because it's old technology that it's not relevant. Even pocket misses turn into strikes for me with this ball. Lot's of pin action on balls late into the pocket and big misses onto the Brooklyn side are strikes. Not sure what else we recreational/league bowlers could ask for......
This was my first Hammer bowling ball. I use Urethane bowling balls for my strike ball and I always have. I love the longevity of these balls and the fact that they require very little maintenance. Also the fact that they are very predictable and easy to adjust depending on the lane conditions. I love the smoothness of this ball and the clean backend reaction. I replaced it with my Storm Natural which was getting too light for me. Comparing the two, the Blue Hammer feels smoother rolling down the lane; the Natural hooks just a little bit more on the backend; the Blue Hammer gives you more pin carry. I would recommend this ball to anyone. I haven't yet tried it as a spare ball for the 10 pin (7 for lefties), but it easily picks up the other common spares, even on drier conditions. Another thing I love about Urethane bowling balls is that I can also use it as a spare ball. Definitely a great bowling ball and a good brand to support.Thanks Hammer
The Hammer Blue Power Urethane ball performs well in dry lane conditions. At the current time I'm utilizing it to develop my ability to open up the lanes when they are dry. So, as I gain greater success with this endeavor -- 100% experimental -- I will update this review. It's my first Hammer, and I love the feel of the ball and its color. I am sure my remarks will be more positive as I move forward with it.
i HAVE TESTED MANY BALLS THROUGH THE YEARS FOR MANY DIFFERENT COMPANIES. I put balls through the gauntlet in every condition and different alleys possible. This particular hammer is a mediocre type ball, it has a good backend, if thrown at a low to medium speed it will hook slowly, but effectively. If you use to much speed it will split on you everytime. For the price this ball is pretty decent in many ways, Comfortable grip, easy roll, smooth to the touch, easy to handle and control. This ball is predictable, almost to the tee. This bal is probably one of Hammers better and weighted ball on the market. It is designed for the average bowler or beginner to help them raise their average and that it does ! Although not a top notch line ball, it does a lot of damage once your used to it. SUGGESTION: DO NOT USE ON HEAVY OIL WILL BOG DOWN AND DIE QUICKLY. Best used on Dry to light oily lanes and semi gloss alleys. This ball is in a class all its own. For the price it will work well for bowlers in the lower average class or beginner. Its all in getting use to it folks...
Acts like a quality urethane cover stock.
My daughter uses this ball and gets strikeafter strike. she has limited strength and this ball works well with a slower throw. With this ball she is averaging 200 or more before we got her this ball heraverage was 78 to 90. awesome ball!!!!!!
Great ball
Good ball even can be used with oil on the lane.its smooth just like urethane. . unlike urethane with dry lanes it actually over reacts. It will go Brooklyn .
The Blue Hammer was just what I was looking for in a good strike ball.
When I decided to get back into bowling after a 16 year hiatus, other bowlers thought I'd stepped out of a time machine when I pulled out my mid-90's Blue Hammer. I quickly made a believer out of them shooting games from 180s into the 200s. My 20-something son was using it and in his 1st year is shooting in the 160s. He wanted his own ball, so after trying to get him to try something different, he convinced me to get him a Hammer. Boy was he right! He's a lefty 2 finger bowler and he feels comfortable with the way the Hammer tracks and finishes. You get close to your line, and the ball is forgiving enough to carry shots that I've seen other balls leave you in a bind, e.g., shallow pocket shots and heavy head pin shots. I'm impressed with the updated version as it seems to have a better back end reaction than my 20 year old ball and may have to get one for myself!
When I went to get the ball drilled I was informed want actually urethane.which meant I couldn't throw it exactly like my old blue hammer because hooks quit a bit more.i still like because it isn't a dramatic difference in how it hooks but the disccription of the ball on the website is misleading because not a true urethane cover the guy at the pro shop that drilled said something called versathane
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 Hammer Blue Hammer ball it will ship in immediately. We cannot ship this ball outside the United States.
