I enjoyed this magazine very much. I made several things and they all turned out great. Except one ornament is giving me trouble. It is the beaded wreath. I do not fully understand the directions where it says to sc in free loop in 2 rounds down or before. No matter what I try it does not seem to work for me. I hate to give up on a pattern and I will search in some other guide books for help. I made the tree skirt, garland with twine and bells, hot air balloon ornament, and crocheting snowman (30 or these) and the reindeer head ornament. Thank you for any help you or anyone can give me on this pattern for the beaded green wreath ornament.

This is one of the best stitching magazines I have purchased in a long time! It is full of wonderful things to crochet and cross stitch. I would highly recommend this to all friends and family who do craft work. Thanks so much for creating such a great magazine!

A very nice variety of patterns. While I mostly crochet, there are several counted cross stitch patterns that I probably will use in the near future. Thank You for another quality product.

Two Additional Races in Porto Venere Keeps Prosikhin's 'Nika' in the Lead
8 April 2017
Porto Venere, Italy (Apr. 8, 2017) - For a second day, Vladimir Prosikhin's Nika keeps control of the lead at the 2017 Melges 20 World League, European Division, Porto Venere. At this point in the regatta, Prosikhin possesses an impressive twelve-point advantage over second place Achille Onorato on Mascalzone Latino, Jr., and a nineteen-point lead over Australia's Rodney Jones on Cars 167.
Racing continued with two more races, revealing a new diversity of winners and leaders. Emanuele Savoini on Evinrude took the big win in Race Four, with Manilo Carlo Soldani on 4-Sale finishing second, and Marco Franchini on Mezzaluna in third. Alexander Novoselov's Victor was fourth, and Valentin Zavadnikov on Synergy GT rounded out the top five.
The final race of the day went to overall leader Prosikhin to further secure his lead of the first Melges 20 World League event in Europe. Novoselov celebrated a great day with another top five finish to take second, followed by Jones. Peitro Loro Piana aboard Gone Squatchin, and the South African entry of Tina Plattner and Tony Norris on TNT was fourth and fifth respectively.

(A little bit of offtopic fun from the forums!)
Something that came up in the comments for this post [1] was the fact that, in the TV report that I described, they're really proud of a positive aspect of Japanese culture (bentos) gaining popularity overseas, but that maybe people in other countries (specifically the US) may not be so proud of aspects of their culture being 'exported'. Since there are people from all parts of the world here, I thought I'd throw this out. Two part question!
and…the flip side
(ETA: Let's stay away from attacking other people/countries/cultures. Any such comments will be deleted. We don't want things degenerating into a mudslinging contest, k?)

This box holds one 9 volt battery. Made by Gotoh, these battery boxes are made of sturdy black plastic consisting of two parts; the container and the drawer. The container is attached by screws to the guitar body and the drawer is then snapped into place. Mounting screws are included. These battery boxes offer a convenient alternative to trying to fit your batteries in your guitar's control cavity.
12" long Black and Red lead wires
On a new Warmoth body, we can do the rout for the Single or Double Battery Box for just $15.
How to install the battery into the box:
Copper Shielding Tape, 2" x 24"
Copper Shielding Tape, 8" x 12"
Wiring Kit , (1.25 ft ea of Black, Red & White Wire, 3 ft of Coaxial Wire)
There's not too much you can really say about a simple battery box, other than it either works or not. I ordered this battery box from Warmoth a while back for a bass that I overhauled. I routed out a hole in the body per the specs, installed the battery box, wired it up to the new pre, and BAM!! Since it was easy, and it works, I rate it a 5*!

Deary Diary: These Were Their Stories
(Quick note: offseason OT rules now in effect)
In the MGoBlog Diaries section the Wolverine fan base is represented by two equally important groups: the stat-heads who investigate college football, and the fan-boys who celebrate their achievements. These are their stories.
[gavel sound]
And we're back. It's been a few weeks since a DD column. I used my MGoVacation to watch L&O marathons and a few bowl games with funny names while the denizens focused on more important things, which are Michigan football things.
Fortunately these had a happy year. AC1997 tried to contextualize this 11-2, BCS bowl-winning season of ours (feel free to repeat that sentence a few times before moving on). The thing has a chart, and a bolded alter ego to introduce it. He also created something called a "VASAV" score which sounds like a cool sabermetric acronym but is really just named after the user who suggested a super-simple scoring system for BCS/Rose Bowl seasons by fan satisfaction. 1997 was a 4.0; this was a 1.5.
: Hey, keep getting grades like that 'n you'll be visiting East Lansing a lot more often.
Da-dum, duh duh duh duh dunnnnnnnn…[electric piano, clarinet, clarinet, bass guitar]
Man Lennie, you are dark sometimes. So Michigan murdered this season, but considering where this program was just 12 months ago, how did such a thing happen? Well we can check the box scores by ST3 – it looks like he's got an entire season in there, right? Or it could be just a bunch of Iron Maiden songs.
Fortunately WolverineBlue has been down in the lab, conducting an autopsy of the Toussaint touchdown that wasn't against Ohio State. Like every other L&O autopsy report, it is unbelievably thorough and straightforward, presenting such a wealth of information if this wasn't for television that would be 90% of the case solved right there. As it is, this forensic analysis proves Fitz should have been ruled
in Edit: down 1/2 in short. Virginia Tech fans with screen capture got nothin' on this Diarist of the Weeks (plural):
Exhibit B
The other Diarist of the Weeks is JeepinBen who looked into the personnel on hand and being recruited for Mattison's defense and in a sudden twist of realization, saw that if you look at it like a 3-4 defense instead of a 4-3, just one big guy named Ondre plus lots of linebackers and ends all make sense!
A couple of diaries meant as previews to the Sugar are still relevant to our investigation here. The one by cps2010 is excellent for advanced readers looking to understand the weird-ass, corner-dependent defense that V-Tech runs. Steve Sharik once spent over an hour and a half trying to explain this very defense to me before saying "Michigan will never run it," but you never know when you'll be in a situation where you'll have to quickly execute a base Cover 4 robber. If you plan to re-watch the Sugar Bowl, I highly recommend you read this, then watch Hosley and appreciate how good he is. Also still useful is the extensive head-to-head-ing by CollegeFootball13 between M's season and VT's. And monuMental made a beautiful background:
If you want more evidence, Boyz n da Pahokee flipped the video over to us. Before some a-hole lawyer from you-know-where calls it inadmissible, get your Sugar Bowl Replay, Sugar VOAV, Sugar Preview, 2011 Offensive Highlights, and 2011 Defensive Highlights. So much good stuff in there, from the Herron TDs, to "GUN-der the lights" while wearing a DL, a Roundtree and a WHAAT?, and Robinson eating all that soup, and Jibreel finally corralling Braxton Miller on 3rd and goal.
After the jump, the real McCoy takes it to trial, and the board celebrates FESTIVUS!
Statistics Don't Lie; They Testify!
I think we've got a strong case that the coaching staff knows what they're doing. But since this is L&O of course we won't know everything until the expert witness testifies. The defense calls…The Mathlete.
Do you swear to the tell the maths, the whole maths, and nothing but the maths, so help you Bo?
So Mathlete in your expert opinion tell us about coaching game theory and how Hoke stacks up with in-game decision making.
Coaches learn a lot about football as they progress through careers, but game-theory type strategy seems to be a common blind spot for many coaches to gain the hidden advantage. Luckily Michigan has a coach that had a pretty sharp first year in this regard, hopefully all the other Zookers out there don't read this (yeah right) and catch up.
And is it your expert opinion that maybe Michigan was just lucky this year?
Michigan checks in at slightly lucky. They were a toss-up between 9 and 10 wins and hit the over. The Wolverines had only 3 games decided by a possession or less and went 2-1 in them.
Update this to 3-1 after the bowl game and I'm guessing Michigan ends up a solid game attributed to the bounces or Getting It or whatever. MSU, Nebraska, Purdue and Penn State were luckier but I bet the Huskers normalize.
The Blockhams, Six Zero's ballyhooed comic strip, has arrived. A panel:
I was a little disappointed (the art is excellent; the Koger joke kinda whiffed for me) but yesterday's strip (the third) is awesome. Anyway the first Peanuts sucked, so career arc is still ahead of Schultz at this point.
Ace is working on future cases for 2013. We meet a highly rated interior lineman from Naperville, Ill., the Smart Grid City, whom we hope has a smarter taste in gridirons than the last Goebel. Ace also caught up with Laquon Treadwell, Cass Tech ATH Jourdan Lewis, and Youngstown, OH's Marcus McWilson.
Maize_in_spartyland kept up the Upset Watch. Read the latest. There were three more in recent weeks as bowls were played. THE_KNOWLEDGE named his top friend. JeepinBen had another blog on how the block M is popping up everywhere. Brooks breaks down the offseason so far for your VARSITY LAX team. And who wants a story about CRex and his Korean in-laws that has nothing to do with Michigan football? Yes you do.
A Bestivus for the Board of Us
At 9:23 a.m. on December 23, just as I was settling in for my MGoVacation, suddenly they appeared. They carried with them an unadorned pole. Led by WolverineInABag, they aired their grievances. Then when everyone had said how disappointed they are, they held feats of strength, which in this case I guess meant who can post the funniest internet meme. The feats didn't end until a manatee pinned a shark, and some nerds with a "33.33-repeating, of course" chance of surviving a room full of digital hawkeyes lost that bet.
If you think a raid with Leeroy Jenkins is a bad gamble, check out what horrible things were done to Game Theory on Jan. 2, courtesy of oakapple. What I wanna know: if Richt and Bielema and Shaw are going to take statistically crazy chances like playing for field goals when you have Andrew Luck or trying to be only the second team in history to successfully spike a ball in under 2 seconds, why aren't we calling Bielema, Richt, and Shaw (and now Beamer) "gutsy?" I mean any lily livered wuss can chew a blade of grass then fake a terrifying sneak to Logan Thomas before handing off to an NFL-bound running back on a FB dive. But calling a timeout to announce a fake, then having your receiver/backup punter run a rugby-read? THAT takes some cajones man.
Another diary-length thread by Moleskyn notes Hoke accomplished his Time of Possession goal.
Ha ha QUARTERback fools. Yes that's Shane Morris doing a McGuffie early on. Ahhh recruit porn. Henson comparison is obvious here, but I see weird footwork and rollouts to the right that make no sense since he's a lefty.
Poetry and Michigan are almost always insta-link.
Skiing is to helmets today what bicycling was to helmets when I was a kid. The kids all wear them today, and if you're older than 30 you look and are like "really?" Well old folks what do you think of your unsafe traditions now?
Yes, MGoUser Will discovered the process for painting M helmets and winged up his ski gear before heading out to the Colorado slopes. I've run into the M ski club a few times up north and spent a chairlift ride going back and forth with one kid on how awesome this would be if they did this. Alpine team: here's your guide.

Looking for parents and family of David W. BOLIN 1844-1877
My great grandfather was David W. Bolin and he was married to Josephine Knotts in 1847 in Jackson VA. Josephine was born in Jamesport,Mo.in 1847. They had 6 children: Ellen Savannah 1868, Wm.Alexander 1870, Luke Wiseman 1872(born in Arkansas), George Washington 1874, Mary Charlotte 1876, and my grandfather John Henry Bolin 1877(born in Oseola, Iowa). They seem to have moved from Virginia, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas,and last Minnesota. I have been searching for quite awhile and can find NO info on David W. Bolin. Sometimes the spelling in census is Bullin. And now we all go by Bolen. I would like to know who David W. Bolin's parents were. Does anyone out there reconize any of names in this Bolin Family?
I have lots of history on my grandma Laura Masters Bolin if anyone needs any.

A few years ago, TechRepublic blogger Justin James wrote a piece called "10 Things I Love about IT." One of the reasons, he pointed out, was that IT had a looser dress code than most other occupations. Depending, of course, on the company you work for, that's still the case.
In fact, that is an allure to many people who decide to go into IT: They can work in T-shirts and jeans. And start-ups and companies that are engineering-heavy can get even more casual it seems. A friend told me that it's not uncommon at her company to see some of the IT folks walking around in their bare feet. She said it's more prevalent with the younger workers and wondered if it's a trend that here's to stay?
A fact that raises the question: How casual is too casual? I think that if you want to move ahead in a company, you do have to look the part, or at least give the impression that, if you become a manager, you won't embarrass the CIO at a company meeting by wearing pajama pants and crocs.
But what about the coder who doesn't want to get ahead? Who is perfectly happy being comfortably ensconced in his or her cubicle wearing bunny slippers? Does this kind of casual ever cross the line into other employees' comfort zones, and, if so, does it matter?
I'd like to hear your opinions on the topic in the discussion area below.

The dachshund (UK: /ˈdæksənd/ or US: /ˈdɑːkshʊnt/ DAHKS-huunt or /ˈdɑːksənt/) (English badger dog) is a short-legged, long-bodied, hound-type dog breed.
The standard size dachshund was developed to scent, chase, and flush out badgers and other burrow-dwelling animals, while the miniature dachshund was bred to hunt smaller prey such as rabbits. In the United States, they have also been used to track wounded deer and hunt prairie dogs.
Dachshunds also participate in conformation shows, field trials and many other events organized through pure-bred dog organizations such as the American Kennel Club (AKC). According to the AKC, the dachshund is ranked in 13th place in popularity amongst dog breeds in the United States.

The Other Side of the Couple's Coin- Posted by Fulguralis at 11:15 AM Labels: General Gaming, Hope, Shout Out
My guild was founded based on couples. Most of the founding members were part of a gaming couple. It's why we took the joking name: Lothar Swingers Club. And it worked really well for us. We had very low drama. We succeed in progressing at our own pace. And we have a wide variety of couple types. Some of us talk... a lot. Some of us are quiet. Some of us, you can't even count on to have spoken to their spouse more recently than you have.
To be fair, I've know couples like the ones Matticus describes, but we just didn't have anyone like that. I would say we have everything but that. In fact, it was probably more often 2 on 1 against one member of the couple, causing more marital strife than in-game strife. It was not uncommon for a couple to go silent for an uncommon amount of time on vent, only to key in five minutes later saying: "Sorry, was yelling at my spouse across the room. He/she was being an idiot again."
Which brings up what I believe to be the biggest benefit of gaming couples, mechanics-wise: they're in the same room. When my wife is tanking, it's like she has a built in bonus camera in the form of the pew-pewing warlock. While she's watching the All Crotch All The Time channel, I can warn her of adds or other impending doom. Basically, two heads are better than one. And this sort of thing extends to a lot of other areas, but in-game doesn't really cover it for me.
Honestly, I think the biggest benefit is been the support network you get. Any married person can tell you that having other married friends is comforting. It's nice to know that all the yelling is normal, and that you're not the only one annoyed by who did/didn't do the dishes. And when one of you gets sick - really sick - you have a whole bunch of folks that are there for you and understand.
The support I've gotten from my guildies in the past few months has been unquantifiable. You cannot min/max it. It will never show up on a meter in-game.
I guess I just wanted to go on record with that. No way in hell would I avoid gaming couples just on principle. No, I just try to avoid unreasonable asshats based on individual experience. After all, you don't have to be a couple to be one of those. Does it surprise anyone that they might come in pairs? Just saying: don't throw out the baby with the bathwater here.
All in all, I think this: "On the other hand, you could just auto decline couples entirely and sidestep any potential drama problems that might happen later" is terrible advice. You could miss out on so much, and MMO gaming isn't just about raiding.
(Note: I don't think Matticus was really meaning to "hate" on couples, though it kind of came off that way. Instead, I think he was merely stressing that as a good GM/RL, you need to take someone's entire situation into account when deciding if they're right for your group or not. And that is not bad advice.)

As couple playing WoW, you have one additional advantage over a solo player. You both play.ReplyDelete
My wife, unfortunately doesn't always understand when I want to logon early to meet up with my arena team partner (several time zones away). He's East Coast, I am West. Sure dinner isn't ready and the kids aren't in bed, but if I wait until then, he'll be asleep.
I'd say me and the husband are Grizzly Penguins. We don't usually raid together anymore (I'm the raider, his schedule doesn't fit and he's fine with that), but if either of us are threatened or screwed over, the dire flippers come out (like when our now deceased ex-guild stabbed us in the back).ReplyDelete
But if he needs help on heroics, I'm there to back him up and provide support (he has more 85s than me).
@Elk - Well, then I guess there's no danger of your spouse assaulting a GM/RL on your behalf then. From my experience with "solo married" players, I would say they tend to be more understanding of interruptions and such.ReplyDelete
@Cyg - Are you threatened by someone like a GM or RL trying to point out areas of improvement, or just when you feel "wronged?" I think there's a huge difference between when someone is being an asshat, and when someone is just trying to do the leader thing (even if it's not presented well). I also think it's easy to know the difference. On the first, I'd say go Grizzlies. On the second, though... take pity on your poor leaders. They try really hard (usually).
@Ful - This was definitely a case of a toxic environment as opposed to miscommunication/misunderstanding. Believe me, we wanted communication and got rebuked for it. The husband's the one who usually lets everything slide off his back and tells me to take a deep breath and maybe I'm making a big deal of things (I tend fester and mentally take it out on myself sadly). So, when even he gets riled (and he's very slow to rile), then there's definitely cause for concern.ReplyDelete
Fortunately, we're in a much healthier guild now. And we're getting open communication (especially if things need to be improved on our end).
So obviously a case of the "wronged" camp. I think that's understandable.ReplyDelete
I think you are dead on. My wife used to play and it was great. I think in guilds where there aren't many couples at some point someone does something stupid and they discover that most couples are a set and when you run off one you lose the other. It can be a head spinning thing for officers in the guild to lose a player they've never had a problem with because thier spouse left the guild. The good side is you have two players that communicate and work well together the bad side is you lose one you lose two. Having been in hardcore raiding guilds I suspect that dynamic is more of the problem than Matticus realizes. hard core guilds are usually pressure cookers anyway, if your spouse blows and the only real option is to leave you are going with your spouse not staying with virtual friends.ReplyDelete
It's really hard on guild leadership in that a good couple is usually low maintenance. But when something goes wrong and they feel the other is being attacked then even the most reasonable person can go Grizzly. Any body no matter how polite can get nasty if they feel the person who is the center of their emotional world is getting a raw deal.ReplyDelete
I guess if my wife and I were both to get into hardcore raiding, I would expect one or either of us to perhaps have to take advice on how to play. I did a short stint in a hardcore guild, and I see criticism as just one of the "perks." If its expected, then I wouldn't feel I had to run to my wife's defense (plus we're much more likely to just roll our eyes and keep playing). Maybe that's why I didn't stick with the hardcore group, though. :-)ReplyDelete

My wife and I were in a 30-something 10-man raiding guild in WotLK.ReplyDelete
My wife and I (lock, shadowpriest).
Mage and Shaman healer (husband and wife combo). Mage's sister (holy priest) mage's brother (tank DK)
A handful of other very good players. We were running heroic ten-mans with very little drama when they were still relevant. We downed Putricide pre-nerf.
The guild folded (unfortunately) when I got sick and my wife and I had to quit playing. That's the drawback of couples raiding--if you lose one, you'll normally lose two.
Yeah, though that can also be the upside: you gain one, you can two. :-)ReplyDelete
Unfortunately, right now we're in a similar situation where my wife is sick and we've not been able to play.

The lose one, lose them all problem isn't unique to couples. I just think that couples seem to get the bad press for it. It also happens with friendship groups, other family members and real life connections. A lot of people play this game to be connected and value those connections above other aspects of the game. When you play the game to succeed and value success above connections, there is going to be something of a clash.ReplyDelete
My group of connections has built a whole guild out of connections. We rarely advertise and even more rarely recruit though advertising, at least not successfully. The vast majority of our raiders have always been friends of friends. That can mean that you lose people in groups, thats true. But it also means that while you are in those groups you enjoy the game all the more.
/agree and well said!ReplyDelete
Thank you for posting the upside to couples - my partner (a feral druid tank) and I (a holy pally) have been raiding together since BC, and the ability to coordinate cooldowns with him or know when he's out of cds or tell him when I need to hit Divine Plea makes us a incredibly effective team - you just can't talk on vent that much without cluttering vent up for everyone else. The extra raid awareness helps us both as well with the chronic crotch-view that you mentioned above (poor tanks). We know as well that losing both of us makes for a pretty tough raid night, so we put in a lot of effort to attend every raid.ReplyDelete
Yep, we're the same way. It's a benefit any good RL would be a fool to ignore.ReplyDelete
This is an excellent post. And I love the comments made by everyone. Oddly enough, in my last guild, we 'lost' our offtank early in Cata. However, his wife refused to leave guild just because he did. We also kept his sister and her boyfriend. It was really an odd situation!!ReplyDelete
Thanks. And that is pretty odd!ReplyDelete

I think you people are just getting into your own conclusions that serve your own likings rather than the real rank of characters. And I agree with Kona.
How many of you have noticed that Law also sliced SAD? Or at least it looks like it a bit.

Maybe that would be true if I were arguing rank here (which I never was)? All I've been saying is that Smoker jobbed to Vergo so Law can reclaim his heart. It's got nothing at all to do with who's stronger than who (a subject don't really like to debate anyway, FYI).
So Smoker didn't knock him out. So what? Whether he could or couldn't isn't the point. It's just that he kept Vergo occupied so Law could get back the heart. Remember how just a few chapters back we saw that Vergo was quick enough to snatch the heart away from Law when he previously tried to reclaim it with his power? THAT'S why a distraction was necessary. I shouldn't have to explain this, but if people are going to keep thinking that this is a question of strength....

If that is all what you're really saying and that you don't deny Smoker being out matched, then we have nothing argue about.
But Laws super slice attack that got both SAD and Vergo was impressive! I only wonder if Zoro can do the same?

With every current era, a new era is born
What a great way to end this chapter and start at the same time a plot full of conflict and chaos. Well done Oda Eiichiro as always.
Also regarding on the matter on which Yonko (Emperor) Law is interested in taking down, its been speculated until now that it can either be Big Mom or Kaido or Blackbeard.
Here are guess and intuition on this (although keep in mind it's only some feasible arguments and assumptions, nothing more)
Reasons for Big Mom according to some because:
- Luffy has declared war against her (both of them have beef with each other)
- It seems that Oda teased us a little with the introduction of Pekoms and Tamago
on Chapter 651. Particularly with Pekoms since he is a lion with some sort of zoan turtle devil fruit power, in which he could have consumed a SMILE devil fruit (artificial fruit) hence the lion appearance while having an authentic devil fruit power (though that has yet to be confirmed or explained for that matter)
- Big Mom was show at last panel of Chapter 690 along with some of the supernovas, leading some to believe that Big Mom may be in fact Doflamingo's business partner for this matter.
Reasons for being Kaido according to some because:
- He has to be personally introduced to the story
- Its the perfect opportunity to introduce him into the story
- Appears to have an appeal or keen interest in power or control or both for that matter
- Some people forgot to point this out but might bear a resemblance to Ex-shichibukia Moria since Moria was keenly interested in producing an immortal army and that if he had one, wouldn't have lost to Kaido according to Moria if you look back at the thriller bark arc. Although its a very weak argument, but from what i know, there are no coincidences with Oda Eiichiro, since he is very skilled as a shounen writer dropping clues for us and at the same time foreshadowing a future development into the story
Reasons for being Blackbeard according to some because:
- Blackbeard and his crew are power hunting for the most power devil fruit users (although if you ask me, that's completely different than to producing a massive army for your benefit because power hunting to me means that they are seeking for new powers or strength, satisfying there satiable greed only for themselves.
- Might be the type of guy who interested in his power with a big army considering how greedy and ambitious Blackbeard is but who knows
All in all, there isn't substantial proof as it could be anyone, what do guys think.
(By the way, I'm new to this forum, so be nice with me
With a current era comes a new era.
What a way to end a chapter and start a new plot with lots of conflict and chaos.
Well done Oda Eiichiro

Gotta love how some people only look at the results and not the circumstances that led to those results. This in turn, leads to skewed/incorrect power perceptions.
marvelB is not arguing about who's stronger than who. He's just saying that the circumstances didn't exactly permit Smoker to fight as he normally would, which essentially held him back from his full potential.

And I was saying that his full potential hadn't change a thing. Outcome would had been Smoker down and then Laws turn since no heart in his possession. Smoker's only choice was to give Law a chance to fight and win.
I am not looking only the results, since there are clear logic why Smoker prioritized Law's heart.

First of all, you're ranking characters based on fights that had circumstances to them that inhibited certain characters from exhibiting their full strength/potential. That's already faulty logic on your part. And then you're saying that the outcome between Smoker and Vergo would have been the exact same with no substantiation to your claim. Prove what you're saying. But then again, you can't because we haven't seen Sanji and Smoker fight at their best yet.

People speculate it can be either Big Mom or Kaido or Blackbeard as one of the emperor Traflagar Law wants to take down (most likely being Big Mom or Kaido)
Here are the assumtions for Big Mom as a target according to some: (although this is all speculation and assumptions; nothing more)
- Luffy has declared war against her
- With the intro to Pekoms and Tamago back in Fishman Island, Oda has teased into suspecting that Pekoms might be a possible character who consumed a SMILE fruit (artificial devil fruit) in addition to his natural turtle devil fruit power according to some (but this has YET to be confirmed or proven for that matter
- Big Mom was seen in the page on chapter 690, leading some to guess that she might be Doflamingo's potential business partner
Assumptions for being Kaido instead: (although this is all speculation and assumptions; nothing more)
- Has not been personally introduced yet
- Is the perfect opportunity to introduce him into the story
- Seems to have a keen interest in power and expanding his power further
- Also, might have a resemblance to Former shichibukia Gecko Moria since Moria was interested in obtaining an immortal army since he wouldn't have lost to Kaido according to Moria himself (he states this during the thriller bark arc). Surprisingly no one pointed this out but then again its probably a weak point or argument to make. Coincidence, maybe or maybe not
Assumptions for being Blackbeard according to some: (although this is all speculation and assumptions; nothing more)
- He and his crew are power hunting for the most powerful devil fruit users (however if you ask me, that's completely different than to producing a massive SMILE zoan devil fruit army. Sure he wants power and control, but I think Blackbeard and his crew have interest in obtaining power in their own terms if you catch my drift and not rely on anyone for that matter. Also Blackbeard and his crew maybe after the devil fruits users for themselves only and no one else. Also to add another point, they maybe after original or natural devil fruit powers, although I don't know how one will be able to tell the difference but we will find out soon enough I guess.)
- Might have more crew members now in post-time skip in comparison to pre-time skip but who knows
All in all anything is possible since Oda likes to surprise us and drop hints and clues for us to guess and debate. What do you guys say.
(By the way, I'm new here so treat me nice

Yet again... I was criticizing these people making assumptions that Smoker lost only because he was saving Laws heart and saying that Smoker would have probably owned Vergo as fast as Law if serious. That is faulty thinking.
And as person who has suggested here that common Anime practice Rock-paper-scissors is making ranking multidimensional , I am not taking your critique very well, since I am quite character neutral anyway.
Sanji has little to none advantage towards Smoker, so it is safe to assume that Vergo can be used as indicator of their strength towards each others.
There is no sense for Smoker to save Law's heart if he would be able to beat Vergo easily. And if we assume that he would have beat Vergo after hard long battle, that would still apply to the strategy but it is far fetched. I want to remind you that Vergo wasn't going to do anything with Laws heart other than weaken Law. Smoker needed Law to join back in fight.
Only reason why you argue about this is that you are actually making your rankings of your likings and you don't fool me in this one.

Sanji fought Vergo to a stalemate despite the fact that his body had already been injured beforehand due to Nami. That fight was also inconclusive, as Shinokuni made its way into the complex forcing them to break up the fight and retreat. From all of that, what made you discern that Sanji is inferior to Vergo, and by extension Smoker as well?
You're quite presumptuous about people's posts, I see. This has nothing to do with which character(s) I like more. I'm simply regurgitating what the manga showed and stated.

It is a question of strength because if Law was stronger he would have no problem getting his heart back and not needing help.

Vergo isn't out for the count yet - he can still get his body back together. Law basically put everything he had into that hit, including his DF - it was an uncontrolled powerful slash (damn impressive, though!).
Still, it shows that Law's haki is at least at the same level as Vergo, which is pretty awesome.

What i find funny is people seem to be underestimated the supernovas or how much stronger they could have gotten .
Look at it this way Doflamingo was worth 340,000,000 before he became a Warlord for Law it was 440,000,000 .
These guys are no longer rookies , you underestimated them and it will bite you in the ass.
Can wait to see how much stronger the other supernovas have gotten .
I also hope next arc that we finally get to see the SH or at least the monster trio uses there full power or at least most of it .

^@Zgoten, I never claimed that it was unconditional declaration, but it clearly suggests the possibility and I still say it is far fetched. But enough of this OT.
LAW sliced the f*g SAD and no one seems to care. I wanna know what SAD was really about and what is going to happen now.

Amy Plantinga Pauw, the Henry Mobley Professor of Doctrinal Theology at Louisville Seminary, will give the Grider-Winget Lectures in Theology at Nazarene Theological Seminary in Kansas City, Missouri on October 8th and 9th. The title of the lecture series is Wisdom Ecclesiology.
Pauw's lectures draw on biblical wisdom literature to show the importance of taking the doctrine of creation seriously in thinking about the church. Wisdom ecclesiology addresses many issues in contemporary church ministry, from ecological concerns, to interfaith relations, to the church's ongoing cycles of death and rebirth.
The lecture schedule is as follows:
Monday, October 8, 10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
Why We Need a Wisdom Ecclesiology
Monday, October 8, 2:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Proverbs and the Church's Creaturely Calling
Tuesday, October 9, 10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
Ecclesiastes's Word to the Missional Church
Pauw is currently at work on a new book of wisdom ecclesiology during her sabbatical year, funded in part from a Henry Luce III Fellowship in Theology for 2012-2013 that she was awarded in the spring. She anticipates the book will open up new conversations about the relationship of ecclesiology to contemporary social concerns, including ecology and interfaith cooperation.
The Nazarene Theological Seminary is a graduate school of theology in the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition. The Church of the Nazarene is its sponsoring denomination.

A's pound Angels to cap sweep
Anaheim, CA – Josh Donaldson hit a two-run homer and Yoenis Cespedes added a solo blast to back eight stellar innings from A.J. Griffin as the Oakland Athletics completed a rare road sweep of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim with an 8-1 triumph on Thursday.
The A's have won eight straight since dropping their first two games of the season and have matched the best start in club history set in 1992.
Oakland, which last earned a sweep at Angel Stadium in Oct. 2001, banged out 44 hits and scored 28 runs in the three-game series.
Seth Smith had four of the club's 16 hits Thursday and knocked in a run, Jed Lowrie went 2-for-5 with an RBI and Chris Young contributed a two-run double behind Griffin (2-0), who limited the Angels to one run on five hits to pick up the victory.
"We were looking for an outing like that to give our bullpen a rest," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "This was probably our best game all around."
Jason Vargas (0-1), in his first home start as an Angel, was charged with five runs on 10 hits and three walks over 5 2/3 innings to take the loss.
Howie Kendrick's RBI double was the only extra-bast hit for LA, which has an AL-worst 2-7 record and is 0-3 at home for the first time since 1994.
Andy Parrino legged out a double to open the away third and scored on Lowrie's two-out single to give Oakland the early lead.
The Angels got their run in the fourth inning, which started with Albert Pujols flying out to the deepest park of the park. Following the long out, Josh Hamilton and Mark Trumbo each singled prior to Kendrick sending one down the left-field line to bring in Hamilton.
Griffin limited the damage by striking out Chris Iannetta and retiring Peter Bourjos on a groundout to third, and the A's went ahead with a four-spot in the sixth.
Donaldson provided two of the runs by sending a first-pitch breaking ball into the left-field bullpen after Derek Norris reached on a one-out double.
Vargas was pulled later in the frame with two outs and runners on first and second, and Young greeted Kevin Jepsen with a line drive that one-hopped off the left-field wall. Seth Smith and Coco Crisp were both moving on the payoff pitch and scored easily to extend the lead to 5-1.
Cespedes led off the seventh with a moonshot off Sean Burnett into the rocks past the center-field wall, and two runners scored on Smith's hit in the ninth -- one on an error by Kendrick.
The Angels did not record a hit after Kendrick's double.
"They took it to us, they played well," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.
Game Notes
Each player in the Oakland lineup had at least one hit ... The A's matched a club record with 10 or more hits in eight consecutive games (August 22-30, 2002) ... This was the third time in Oakland history the A's have gone undefeated on a road trip of six or more games ... The A's are 6-0 on the road for the first time since 1990 ... Lowrie has reached base safely in all 10 games ... Angels third baseman Alberto Callaspo left the game due to an injured leg ... Hamilton had two of the Angels' five hits.

African Mango With IGOB131 is the Only African Mango Extract Tested on Humans.
Unless an African Mango product contains the patented extract called IGOB131 it is not the real thing and is not the extract that everyone was talking about. That's because the small clinical trial (a pilot study on a small amount of people in Africa) that tested African mango extract on real people, used the patented extract IGOB131.
The Nutritional Properties of African Mango are from an Extract from the Pit, Not the Fruit.
The African mango fruit has an edible fruit but the nutritional properties that made the news are found in the seed, or pit, which is called the Dika nut. The nuts are sun-dried and then made available whole or in powder form. Dika nuts are edible. They are oily and can be eaten like regular nuts but they are not available outside of Africa.

Positive African Mango Side Effects
The one clinical study that was done on people tested an African mango seed extract or a placebo (inactive sugar pill). That small study generated a lot of publicity but was a small test that was not peer-reviewed. So, consumers should be cautious about deriving any conclusions from such a small study. That said, a popular celebrity TV host in the United States recommended African mango extract supplements to be used as part of a fitness regime. More information about this can be found by clicking on the label above which will take you to the manufacturers website (Perfect Supplements) where you can get more detailed information, as well as product prices. That's where you can place an order also. You can also order by phone through HealthFoodPost.com. Just go to the Contact Page on this website for the phone number.
Negative Side Effects
Some participants in the small study referenced above indicated negative side effects but… these reports indicated similar side effects reported by those in the group taking the African mango extract and those in the group taking the placebo pills. So, the reported side effects among both groups were mostly the same, and included excess gas, sleep problems and headaches.
African Mango is also called Irvingia or Irvingia Gabonensis

Alternate Names
Low-sodium diet; Salt restriction
Salt and Your Diet
Your body needs salt to work properly. Salt contains sodium. Sodium helps your body control many functions. Too much sodium in your diet can be bad for you. For most people, dietary sodium comes from salt that is in or added to their food.
If you have high blood pressure or heart failure, you may have to limit how much salt you eat every day. Even people with normal blood pressure will have lower (and healthier) blood pressure if they lower how much salt they eat.
Dietary sodium is measured in milligrams (mg). Your doctor may tell you to eat no more than 2,300 mg a day when you have these conditions. For some people, 1,500 mg a day is an even better goal.
Limiting Salt in Your Diet
Eating a variety of foods every day can help you limit salt. Try to eat a balanced diet.
Buy fresh vegetables and fruits whenever possible. They are naturally low in salt. Canned foods often contain salt to preserve the color of the food and keep it looking fresh. For this reason, it is better to buy fresh foods. Also buy:
- Fresh meats, chicken or turkey, and fish
- Fresh or frozen vegetables and fruits
Look for these words on labels: low-sodium, sodium-free, no salt added, sodium-reduced, or unsalted. Check all labels for how much salt foods contain per serving.
Ingredients are listed in order of the amount the food contains. Avoid foods that list salt near the top of the list of ingredients. A product with less than 100 mg of salt per serving is good.
See also:
Stay away from foods that are always high in salt. Some common ones are:
- Processed foods, such as cured or smoked meats, bacon, hot dogs, sausage, bologna, ham, and salami
- Anchovies, olives, pickles, and sauerkraut
- Soy and Worcestershire sauces, tomato and other vegetable juices, and most cheeses
- Many bottled salad dressings and salad dressing mixes
- Most snack foods, such as chips, crackers, and others
When you cook, replace salt with other seasonings. Pepper, garlic, herbs, and lemon are good choices. Avoid packaged spice blends. They often contain salt.
Use garlic and onion powder, not garlic and onion salt. Do not eat foods with monosodium glutamate (MSG).
When you go out to eat, stick to steamed, grilled, baked, boiled, and broiled foods with no added salt, sauce, or cheese. If you think the restaurant might use MSG, ask them not to add it to your order.
Use oil and vinegar on salads. Add fresh or dried herbs. Eat fresh fruit or sorbet for dessert, when you have dessert. Take the salt shaker off your table. Replace it with a salt-free seasoning mix.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist what antacids and laxatives contain little or no salt, if you need these medicines. Some have a lot of salt in them.
Home water softeners add salt to water. If you have one, limit how much tap water you drink. Drink bottled water instead.
Ask your doctor if a salt substitute is safe for you. Many contain a lot of potassium. This may be harmful if you have certain medical conditions or if you are taking certain medicines. However, if extra potassium in your diet would not be harmful to you, a salt substitute is a good way to lower the amount of sodium in your diet.

Progress Job Fair Touts Manufacturing to Teens
November 14, 2013 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Progress Job Fair Touts Manufacturing to Teens
Provo, Utah-based supplier Progress Manufacturing has a history of committing to charitable causes. According to a press release, past projects have included helping tribes in Africa have access to water, and participating in walks to help cure multiple sclerosis.
This year, the company is holding a hands-on job fair on Nov. 20 from 4-6 p.m to promote manufacturing and production careers with local youth. Teens that are interested in learning about manufacturing will be able to actually build something on-site, the company said.
"We are so excited about this job fair," said President Jed Anderson. "Kids will be introduced to engineering, welding, machining, and will see tools and processes they never knew existed. My hope is that through this experience, more children will become interested in engineering, designing and creating, and someday they will create jobs and products."
Anderson said the project is just an extension of the company's outreach initiative, which he feels has been instrumental in the company's growth.
"When I first came to Equal-i-zer in 1994, there were just three of us," said Anderson, noting the company has increased its employees by over 25% this year while receiving national product awards and being named "Manufacturer of the Year" for Utah. "We would jump in a pickup truck and head out for donuts to celebrate our wins. I can't believe how much we have grown and all we have accomplished. I credit our success to our hard working employees, our fun atmosphere and our continued efforts to 'Leave a Legacy for Good.'"
COO Kenny Mauerman added, "Standing on the stage at the Little America, accepting the award as manufacturer of the year was surreal. We have all worked so hard. It was amazing receiving that kind of recognition. We have brought on some great talent and new innovative products, and I am excited about what the future holds."
To register for the job fair call (801) 377-9599. For more information on Progress Manufacturing call (800) 478-5578.

Focus Loosing Power
MattBloomfield posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi, I have a 1.6 tdci focus, lately after about 5/10mins of driving in really cold weather if I pull off from lights or a round about it looses power as I change into second! To the point were I pull over and it stalls. It starts straight back up and 9 times out of 10 it runs perfectly after that, once it did it again straight away but then drove great. Just before this started happening I had the alternator changed by a friend that knows a bit about cars (I haven't told him about this just incase its him who broke it and he did me a huge favour so don't want him feeling bad). He removed a peice of kit that sits just above the alternator that has a few air hoses connected to it and I swear 1 of them had a little split. I can take a pic of this part in the morning as its dark now. To help the only way I can explain the problem is like when you used to have a manual choke on old cars and you left it out for too long and it hesitates!? Hope this helps. Thanks a lot if you can help!!

MattBloomfield replied to MattBloomfield's topic in Ford Focus ClubNo I haven't actually but I can do tonight. I'll post the results on here with a pic of the part I'm talking about.
Mk 2.5 58 - Retrofit Bluetooth & Usb Questions
MattBloomfield replied to Safekidda's topic in Ford Focus ClubHi nick, just wondering how your getting on with your retrofit Bluetooth kit, I have a 08 focus titanium and want to do the same thing, I pulled the glove box out and I have the same plug as you, I have the correct interior light housing for the mic but haven't looked behind it yet. Just thought I'd see how you was getting on and if you have any tips. Thanks mate
Retrofit Bluetooth / Voice Control.
MattBloomfield replied to Richiemac's topic in Ford S-Max ClubHi Richie, I'm lookin at retro fitting Bluetooth into my 2008 focus titanium. I have the Sony mp3 head unit already. How do I know what USB module I need? I'm looking on eBay but there seems to be different serial numbers on them? Do I need a perticular one to match my car? And how would I know if the wiring loom is already in my car? Thanks mate
A Few Questions About My Focus Titanium 2008 1.6 Tdci
MattBloomfield replied to MattBloomfield's topic in Ford Focus ClubHi guys, Thanks again for all of your replys, just an update I haven't had the chance to look at the rear dead lock yet but I think I'll try taking the panel off and drilling out the rivets on the metal panel as I have a rivet gun to replace it, least I can have a look and see wheat I'm up against. I've looked online and found the list of things I have to do to turn on the auto locking, it's just a matter of turning the key and locking and unlocking the doors a few times, hopefully it works. As for the stereo I've looked on a couple of other posts and they mention "retro fitting" which involves a Bluetooth module and a wiring loom (if it not fitted already) so hopefully that sorts it!, Also my dimming mirror works fine, I shined a torch on it and it goes a dark bottle green colour. Thanks again guys
A Few Questions About My Focus Titanium 2008 1.6 Tdci
MattBloomfield posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi guys and girls, I've just purchased a focus titanium 1.6 tdci 2008 and have a few questions to ask and thought this would be the best place to start. Firstly there is a terrible noise coming from the rear passenger door when I double lock it and was wondering what it is, I'm pretty good with my hands so was going to try and fix it myself (with your advice) rather than getting ripped off at a garage. Is there a way to make the doors lock as I start driving? It's just that my girlfriends old car did and she feels a bit safer when she's driving it on her own. Lastly and most importantly I've got the Sony cd player in it which is lovely but I'm not sure it's Bluetooth compatible? It's got the green/red phone buttons on it, a actual button saying phone and 9 number keys at the top, even the # & * keys(I guess so you can dial a number) but I can't work out how to set it up?? Ay answers would be much appreciated Thanks Matt
A Few Questions About My Focus Titanium 2008 1.6 Tdci
MattBloomfield replied to MattBloomfield's topic in Ford Focus ClubThanks so much for your fast replys guys!! I read online that I could be the dead lock mechanism, might have to have a look at the weekend and see how brave I am!! As for the stereo, it is the single cd version (no DAB either) is it possible just to buy a module then if I get the right one?? Seeing as you guys replied so quick there's one more question, I have a auto dimming rear view mirror which I've never had before?? It just seems dim all the time? I've got tinted rear windows so maybe it that? But there's no lights on it or anything to show that it's on or anything, should there be?? Thanks alot guys.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Allison Brown, Leanne Velduis, Margaret Leibovic and Amy Magnuson combined to shatter the Institute record in the 400-meter relay and Adrienne Bolger lowered her own school standard in the 1500m as the MIT women's track and field team enjoyed a great performance, Saturday, in a 16-team Coed Spring Invitational at Steinbrenner Stadium.
MIT's 4x100m unit split 49.76 to finish third in a close final, although the performance was the first sub-50 effort in program history. Magnuson enjoyed another spectacular day herself, running 14.95 to win the 100m hurdles and earning another first-place finish in the long jump. Although Magnuson missed the school record in the long jump by one-half inch, she shattered the standing rookie record by over a foot. The talented freshman also finished second in the triple jump, finishing six inches ahead of teammate Genita Metzler, who copped third.
Leanne Velduis, Emily Hwang and Hana Adaniya also secured victories against the large field. Velduis split 1:04.16 to win the 400m hurdles, while Hwang inched closer to the MIT outdoor record after pacing a sweep of the top four places in the pole vault after a leap of 11'2.5". Adaniya cruised to first after clocking 18:20.38 in the 5000m.
The Engineers were strong throughout the middle and long distance events on Saturday. Andrea Staid finished second in the 800m after running a season-best 2:21.10, while Bolger lowered last week's record setting performance in the 1500m with a time of 4:51.39.
The Cardinal and Gray proved to be equally efficient in the field events as Kay Furman, Allyson Randolph and Juls Arden finished second through fourth in the discus. Aline Thomas led Tech's field contingent, securing second overall in the hammer with a throw of 160'3" and adding a second-place finish in the shot put. Thomas' best toss of 39'2.25" finished out of first by one hundredth of a meter.

Potholes have appeared on the notorious Horns Bridge roundabout in Chesterfield.
The craters – which have been reported to Derbyshire County Council by the Derbyshire Times - will create more danger for drivers on the accident blackspot.
The county council has asked staff to work extra hours to fix the backlog of potholes caused by the recent extreme wet weather.
Councillor Dean Collins, deputy cabinet member for jobs, economy and transport, said: "I can assure people that we're doing all we can to repair our roads as quickly as possible.
"We look after more than 3,000 miles of roads across Derbyshire so it's a massive job, but fixing potholes is our number one priority at the moment."
Report a pothole online at www.derbyshire.gov.uk/reportit or call 01629 533190.

text: My daughter came early 1/28/2012 at 37 weeks & 1 day. Immediately I tried to breastfeed, every nurse I had tried to help me but emotionally I had a hard time holding my daughter correctly. They focused more on the technical aspects than on us bonding. During labor I got a fever so she was taken to the NICU & treated with antibiotics as a preventive measure. Fortunately she didn't have an infection. But her coming early, being small 5 lbs 15 oz and she had an IV in her hand, scared me and I couldn't get comfortable holding her. I felt like I was hurting her & then I was worried she wasn't eating enough. I panicked, pumped incorrectly & got a red sore on the breast she appeared to prefer. Looking back I was trying too hard & didn't completely understand that we would need more time especially because she came early. She has been bottle fed since she was 3 days old. Today I noticed a little leaking on the breast she preferred & tenderness. Is it too late to breastfeed?

Associate Professor, Department of Molecular Pharmacology
This research program investigates the genetic basis for the regulation of neural circuitry by the neurotransmitter serotonin. Dynamics of serotonin signaling underscore long-standing theories of neural circuit plasticity that leads to learning, memory and stress responses. Drugs that target the serotonergic system are the most commonly prescribed therapeutic agents for the treatments of a wide spectrum of behavioral and neurological disorders, from depression to eating disorders, autism, schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease. Using mouse and C. elegans as animal models, our laboratory is undertaking a systematic dissection of the genetic pathways and synaptic properties regulated by serotonin signaling and characterizing drugs that might alter them.
One project is to delineate the role of serotonin uptake transporter SERT, the major molecular target of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), in early life programing of CNS circuits. We have identified a SERT mechanism operating specifically in the developing sensory cortices, prefrontal cortex and hippocampus during a period that lays down adult neural circuits. Specifically, SERT is transiently expressed in a unique class of neurons, termed "serotonin-absorbing neurons", which do not synthesize serotonin but absorb it from extracellular space. We found that spatiotemporal SERT expression in the serotonin-absorbing neurons dictates the patterning of synaptic architecture. The timing and the brain regions of serotonin-absorbing neuron function coincide closely with "a key point of convergence" of coexpression network of high-confidence of autism candidate genes in human developing CNS. We hypothesize that disrupting SERT function in the serotonin-absorbing neurons by genetic variations, environmental conditions and drugs perturbs spatial and temporal levels of trophic serotonin that regulates the neural networking implicated in autism. Using our unique SERT conditional knockout mice, we are investigating how disrupting SERT expression in serotonin-absorbing neurons impacts on the expression and function of autism candidate genes, aspects of the synaptic properties in the sensory cortices, prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, and anxiety-related behavior. These studies are expected to reveal the developmental origin of SERT, thus serotonin, in the trajectory of neural circuit function, behavior, and related disorders. We will translate genetic leads from the mouse models into human studies.
A second project is to identify and characterize antidepressants-resistant genes. Using chemical mutagenesis and RNA-interference (RNAi) technology, ongoing experiments search genome-wide for mutations that confer resistance or hypersensitivity to antidepressants in C. elegans. This screen will broadly explore drug targets distinct from SERT and reveal downstream pathways regulated by serotonin signaling. We will translate genetic leads from C. elegans into functional analysis in mammalian systems.

HANOVER, N.H. - The MIT women's track and field team continued its historic spring run with an impressive team effort at the All-Division New England Championships, hosted by Dartmouth College. The Engineers' finished 10th overall at NEICAAAs, the highest finish ever in the history of the program.
Freshman Amy Magnuson paved the way to the dazzling finish by serving as one of the weekend's top rookies, at any level. Magnuson secured the highest individual finish in program history during the long jump, leaping a school-record 18'1" to secure second place. Magnuson also finished fourth in the triple jump. Her best mark of 37'2.25" just missed NCAA provisional cuts, while she also fell just shy of provisional status in the long jump.
In addition to a dominating effort in the jumps, Magnuson stood to be even more commanding on the track. After winning her preliminary heat in the 100m hurdles with a time of 14.56, Magnuson entered finals ranked third. Head coach Fletcher Brooks and Magnuson decided to pull out of the finals as an injury caution with nationals just weeks away.
The loss of points may have cost the Engineers a few spots on the final team board, but MIT continued to flex its muscle across all areas in the field. Junior Aline Thomas, who already provisional qualified for NCAAs, strengthened her position among the national leaders after throwing a school-record 163'6" in the hammer. It was a break-out effort for Thomas, who netted fifth in the event in addition to a seventh-place finish in the shot put (40'8.25"). Chi-Fong Wang supported the MIT assault with a sixth-place finish in the javelin (121') while Emily Hwang just missed at placing in the vault after finishing 10th with a top clear of 10'6".
The Engineers authored two other fantastic performances during the weekend. Leanne Veldhuis ran her best split of the spring en route to a fourth-place finish in the 400m hurdles. Veldhuis ran 1:03.43 at finals, finishing just off her Institute-record pace.
MIT capped the two-day championship with an Institute record in the 4x800m relay. For the second consecutive week, the team of Rachel Niehuus, Adrienne Bolger, Andrea Bradshaw and Andrea Staid combined to set a new school mark. Bradshaw and Staid were especially impressive in anchoring Tech to a sixth-place finish with a time of 9:22.86.
