I have a Vivitar Camera that I bought from a Pawn Shop. The Flash worked fine for the first few months having it. I didn't use it for a while, and once I finally did, I heard 3 pops. After that my flash no longer works. When I switch into Flash mode it blinks and goes back to No Flash mode. Do you think it's the flash tube, the circuit or the battery that charges the flash? I opened the camera and nothing looks blown.
The 8025 is a very cheap camera....I hope you didn't pay more than $15 at the pawn shop. Your camera has a blown flash tube. The camera could have been dropped in water by the previous owner. You could have bought one at Walmart that would have at le ... Vivitar ViviCam 8025 Digital Camera

Capitol Chamber Artists launches season with 'Beethoven and Friends'
Updated 3:54 pm, Wednesday, October 23, 2013
Capitol Chamber Artists begins its 45th season on Saturday night, giving classical music fans the combination of rare music and original music that they have come to expect.
One notable absence, however, will be flutist-saxophonist and co-founding member Irvin Gilman, who recently suffered a stroke. Gilman is recovering and is expected to be in the audience Saturday night, and to return to performing later in the Capitol Chamber Artists' season.
On Saturday, the performers will be Mary Lou Saetta, violin and viola; Andre O'Neil, fortepiano and cello; and Susan Libby, cello. Libby will be making her Capitol Chamber Artists debut, although she is no stranger to Capital Region audiences. Libby is principal cellist of both the Albany Symphony Orchestra and Schenectady Symphony Orchestra, assistant principal cellist of the Glens Falls Symphony Orchestra and The Glimmerglass Festival and a member of the Catskill Symphony.
The program, titled "Beethoven and Friends," features Beethoven's "Ghost" Piano Trio, "Eyeglasses Duo" for viola and cello, which was written for two bespectacled musician friends; and the Piano Sonata and Violin Obligato by Ferdinand Ries, Beethoven's closest friend.

Discussion in 'Games' started by Sinrebirth, Sep 23, 2012.
Anyone else playing this on these fair boards?
I have a few decks and lots of extra cards, but I have been out of the collecting game for a while now.
Cool! I play once a fortnight, but otherwise not much. Playing more than casually burns cash and burns a lot of it.
What deck did you like best? Mine is a Nordic/Malefic cross. Annoys the sin out of people (no pun intended).
My main deck is a Blue-Eyes deck, though I still need a few things. I also have both LV Dragon sets, Horus the Black Flame Dragon and Armed Dragon, and the Dragon Lords, though again I still need a few things. I also have a few other decks including a Warrior deck and an Insect Queen/Ultimate Insect deck.
Good old Blue-Eyes. Master of Dragon Soldier was recently reprinted, so I have every intention of building that deck, complete with Blue-Eyes, Black Luster Soldier (the Ritual), and the like.
I need Dragon Master Knight, along with White Stone of Legend and Kaibaman, for my Blue-Eyes deck. I was extremely lucky in that I got Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon when I saw Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light.
Well, Legendary Collection 3 reprinted practically everything from the first Yugioh series, including a printing of a legal Seal of Orichalcos!
I am going to have to get some of those reprint packs at some point.
I'd recommend it. Not sure if you've been keeping up, but we have a few new mechanics since GX ended; synchro summons and Xyz summons. Oh, and Ritual monsters made a short-lived comeback!
I have been keeping an eye on the mechanics via the wiki. Synchro monsters look interesting, particularly Stardust Dragon and the other Signer Dragons.
Synchro is more fun than Xyz, as a mechanic, to be honest, but Xyz is easier. Summon two monsters with the same level = Xyz. Gives old decks like Crystal Beasts and Gravekeepers a lot more options.
5Ds, the series which introduced Synchro's, is also miles better than ZeXal, which has introduced Xyz's,
Dragons are very much my thing, so cards like White Stone of Legend and Stardust Dragon seem like the best cards to improve my deck at this point.
They keep finding ways to keep old decks alive.
They sure keep saying the current series at the time is going to be the last one, but then they come out with another one. I definitely want to watch GX and 5D's, in addition to the conclusion to Yu-Gi-Oh!, at some point.
How stupid of me, its The White Stone of Legend.
Wow, I didn't know people still played this game. I still have all my old cards and decks, but no one to play with.
There is also a spell card which allows you to discard a Dragon tuner and draw two cards; by discarding Stone, you get to add a Blue Eyes to your hand on top of drawing two. Very good.
But Future Fusion has been banned, so that sucks.
Chaos Dragons were very good a few months ago, largely because the formerly banned card Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning, was brought back(!)
I have heard of that spell card, Cards of Consonance, which has The White Stone of Legend in its artwork. I can definitely see some more possibilities with things like Synchro and Tuner monsters.
And there are a lot of Dragon Synchro monsters. A lot of a lot,
Ack, all of the old strategies that I used 6-7 years ago are pretty much gone. I wouldn't even know where to begin with all of the Synchro monsters/fusion monsters, frankly.
Well, old decks like Gravekeepers and Heros are still very good.
But yeah, we've had two new game mechanics since then
No kidding on the Dragon Synchros, between the Signer Dragons and many others, there are indeed a lot.
I played this YEARS ago, haven't really payed any attention since. Dragon Deck back when I did play...though I went for Red-Eyes as opposed to Blue-Eyes (Darkness Dragon GO!!!).
My deck never had a theme; I just tossed whatever good cards I had at the time into a deck and played with it.
The Elemental Hero cards, Sinre? Man, I remember going to the Preview event for the first set with those guys. And I thought they were weird already because they had all the crazy attribute effects. That's how much the game has changed since I last played regularly.
Currently creating a custom Avatar the Last Airbender themed deck. Never really played the game or had any cards, but did watch the show quite a bit.


text: Well, this sitting I had tha started about 12 yesterday ended just now so I could get some sleep. So far progress was, defeat Drayden, defeat Shizui/Marlon, defeat Neo Team Plasma, and am now at the beginning of Victory Road. All the while I went through, battling trainers and collecting all possible pokemon (save for a few cause I lost patience), Routes 9, 11, 21, 22, and 23. As for landmarks I went through... Village Bridge, Opelucid City, Marine Tube, Seaside Cave, and Giant Chasm. The whole amount of time clocked in was 16 hours and 20 minutes. My team of 5 pokemon had a level increase of 45-57. Total clocked time for the save is about 56-60 hours.

Good morning! It's budget day. Starting at 8 a.m., reporters will be combing through (some of the few printed) copies of the governor's proposed spending plan, and David Paterson will formally unveil the budget in a speech at 11. At the same time, legislators will be fighting over charter schools, and how to tweak New York's current system to make us more eligible for more federal funding. As of late last night, both the Assembly and Senate had "no idea" what they were going to do, according to legislators. So here are the headlines…
A special session to act on charter schools ended last night with no action. David Paterson and others ripped a bill proposed by Democratic legislative leaders, but the two houses of the legislature didn't consider that bill or one submitted by Paterson. (TU/GNS)
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the application for federal funding could be "undermined by legislative shell games," and some parents are angry with the lack of action. (NYT/NYP)
Teachers unions spent $5 million lobbying and campaign contributions last year. (NYP)
Charters are currently rationed by the Board of Regents more stringently than through SUNY's Charter School Institute. (TU)
David Paterson ripped a report that he was necking a woman as an "outrageous lie." (DN)
Democratic leaders from Albany and Saratoga counties will organize a meeting to air concerns about David Paterson's persistent weakness, as evidenced by recent polls. (TU)
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver said Paterson "will have to step up his efforts in raising funds to show his viability as a candidate." (NYP)
Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings wants an advance on money the state pays in lieu of taxes on the Empire State Plaza. (TU)
Paterson's proposed budget will cut aid to education and health care programs, lengthen Quick Draw hours and authorize the sale of wine in supermarkets. (GNS)
Bill Hammond says we're out of money. For real! (DN)Dennis Mehiel, who ran against Andrew Cuomo as Carl McCall's lieutenant governor in 2002, is now trying to draft Cuomo for governor. (Knickerbocker)
At a Martin Luther King Jr. event, Al Sharpton walked out on Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand along with Harold Ford Jr., her potential challenger. (NYP)
Andrea Peyser said Ford "walked into the event a nobody. And he emerged a punk-rock star." (NYP)
Rep. Charlie Rangel isn't too high on Ford. (PNY)
The Empire Page examines the 2010 battle for the state Senate. (Empire Page)
Democrats will protest outside an event to raise money for Joe Bruno's legal defense fund. (Post-Star)
And here are some national headlines…
All eyes are on Massachusetts, where Martha Coakley and Scott Brown are facing off in a special election for the U.S. Senate. (Boston Globe)
This will be a harbinger for future fights over health care restructuring legislation. (WP)
Democrats are already starting to point fingers over the race, which is closer than anyone expected. (Politico)
Senators from that party are preparing to rush through health care legislation should Scott Brown win. (NYT)
Obama will expand the Race to the Top program by $1.35 billion. (WP)
Chris Christie will be inaugurated today as governor of New Jersey. (Star-Ledger)
The FBI illegally tapped phones during the Bush administration. (WP)
And below, video of last night's state Senate session:

Brian Cushing left the Texans-Jets game in the 2nd quarter with what looked like a lower leg injury. Matt Slauson of the Jets came in with a late, low block that some might deem dirty.
Cushing was a few players away from the tackle, and the play was close to being over. You make the call.

Ronnie Barker stars in four episodes of the comedy sketch show as heard on BBC Radio 4. Here's a further cornucopia of clever comedy, featuring sketches, monologues, poems and songs in this sequential entertainment for radio. Here, the sketches include: a bizarre slice of Shakespeare, a poem for a man with a plan, and a forgetful actor. There are also people who use lots of words, but say very little. As well as a musing pianist, we also hear a two-headed Great Eccentric, a spoof Paul Temple, and wires get crossed on the telephone. Co-written by Gerald Wiley (the pseudonym used by Ronnie Barker) and many others, this sophisticated cabaret-cum-sketch-show contains plenty of witty wordplay. Starring Ronnie Barker, with Terence Brady, Pauline Yates, Josephine Gordon, and Dick Abell.

Onlookers obviously took to Twitter
Bizarre rush-hour antics seem to be in vogue at the moment. Last Friday workers in Farringdon were left bemused by a man being led around on a leash – meanwhile commuters on London Bridge were thrilled by a daredevil riding a Boris bike along the dizzying edge of London Bridge.
It also emerged that the same death-defying riders had been cycling on rooftops on Regent Street on Thursday, and London24 tracked down the tricksters dicing with danger.
It turns out the mad Boris bicyclists are world-renowned freerunners Tim Shieff and Paul Joseph, who filmed their antics for urban sport video site Fightme.
Tim rides a Boris bike regularly, so it was a natural progression to combine his cycling with his stunt work. He said his crazy antics on London Bridge were about "trying to wake people up to other perspectives of London".
The rider said they had experienced "very mixed views" from onlookers.
"Some people live in fear and will have a negative perspective," he said.
"But many people have the eyes of a child and see new things with wonder, not fear in the eyes of an adult.
"A lot of people in London live through fear. We want to reach out to the people who see the city with wonder."
The daredevil, who is frequently found doing tricks on the public cycle hire bikes, added: "When you see a guy jumping walls on a Boris bike you can't help but stop and be in the moment for a second. You dont worry about your issues or think about going to work for a second – you say: 'Woah did that guy really just jump that on a big blue bike?'
"I like making people think through showing them talent and giving them something to appreciate."

About this website
This Bradford CVS website has been built using Drupal - the Free and Open Source Content Management System. The idea is that it will act as a repository and directory of information and news of relevance to the Voluntary and Community Sector of Bradford District. To achieve this the content of the website is searchable in several ways.
As with anything both new and complex there are almost bound to be problems with this website. There are also almost certainly aspects of this website that could work better. We want to know if you have any problems or suggestions about the website, its content and how it works so we can make it better. Please use the form below to contact the Webmaster.
Known Current Issues:
- Accessibility: the site has not yet been fully checked to make sure it is as accessible as it can be to as many users as possible. This is a priority for further development
- Mobile and tablet display: the site has not been tweaked to make sure it display nicely and works properly on devices with smaller screens such as phones and tablets. We'll be working on this shortly.
- Some content from old site is missing: we will be adding new content to the site and making sure it has a wealth of material on it. If you're missing anything in particular please let us know!
- Search returns too many results: the search engine on the site is currently set up so that it returns too many rather than too few search results. Tweaking this to give a better match is a priority.
- PagePeeker thumbnails don't appear: images of websites on this site are generated by PagePeeker. Sometimes these images don't appear until a page is revisited or refreshed.
- Some expandable areas don't work on Firefox until refresh: some of the 'Categories' and 'Information' areas which should expand when clicked aren't styled correctly and don't expand when first loaded in Firefox. Revisiting or refreshing the page makes these work correctly.
Possible plans for the future:
- Comment on and rate resources
- Comment on news items
- Blogs from Bradford CVS staff members
- Log in to the site and personalise it - we're not sure what we'll do for this: lists of favourite resources, members only content, live chat?
If you have any other suggestions we'd be happy to hear them.
Thank you,

Market Vectors Africa Index (AFK) is the only ETF that provides pure exposure to the continent's expanding economy but potential long-term investors should be ready for a bumpy ride.
"For investors, there are some exchange traded funds focused on Africa. While the vehicles are ready to go, investors should climb aboard only if equipped with ample supplies of patience," writes John Prestbo, former editor and executive director of Dow Jones Indexes, for MarketWatch.
AFK holds assets of $94 million and charges a net expense ratio of 0.80%.
There are also single-country ETFs for Africa such as Market Vectors Egypt (EGPT) and iShares MSCI South Africa (EZA). [More Problems Looming for South Africa ETFs]
The Egypt fund has been hit recently by political instability as investors keep a close eye on the protests in Turkey. [Egypt ETF Rocked by Protests]
Another ETF that partially invests in Africa is SPDR S&P Emerging Middle East & Africa (GAF). Frontier market ETFs also have allocations to Africa. [Investors Exploring Frontier Market ETFs]
Turning back to AFK, Prestbo notes the ETF's tracking index incorporates rules designed to maintain a diversified portfolio.
"First, weightings are limited so that South Africa — the continent's largest economy with the largest companies — doesn't dominate the index. The weight of each country is capped at 25% and the ceiling for each component stock is 8%," he wrote.
"Second, non-Africa-listed stocks also are eligible, provided the companies generate the majority of their revenues in Africa. Thus, United Kingdom companies make up 17% of the index's float-adjusted market cap," Prestbo added.
Investors in Africa ETFs should be prepared for volatility. AFK has a three-year standard deviation of 17.6, versus 14 for the S&P 500, according to Morningstar.
"Occasional periods of scrumptious returns are interspersed among interludes of treading water or steep declines. Emerging and frontier markets are vulnerable to vicious volatility as investment capital sloshes in and out," Prestbo notes.
"This boom-bust cycle might tempt some investors to try tactical timing to reap the fat returns and duck the disasters. But if market timing is a fool's game with U.S. stocks, it's sheer insanity for a whole region, and an unfamiliar one at that. Africa cries out for long-term investment, and my prediction is that in time those providing it will be rewarded," he said.
Prestbo concluded: "Just don't forget to pack your patience."

The tale of the horse named Give Chrome just went from Dickens to Disney.
Nearly a month ago the 12-year-old standardbred gelding was found hitched to a cart near Gettysburg, bleeding from deep wounds across his hind end caused by an ill-fitting harness. His owner was beating him with a whip.
Next week he will be shipped to Kentucky's bluegrass horse country and live on an historic 560-acre farm, Walnut Hall, owned by Meg and Alan J. Leavitt, a director of the United States Trotting Association and Hall-of-Fame standardbred breeder.
Meg Leavitt says when her husband heard about Chrome's plight he called her and said:
"We're going to adopt that horse."
Chrome ran 56 races in his career at tracks all over the United States, never winning enough to earn his long term keep. He likely ended up - as many ex-harness racing horses do - as an Amish buggy horse in Lancaster, Pa. and then fell into the hands of Wilbur Frost, a homeless man convicted of animal cruelty in March for abandoning two draft horses in Kansas.
Frost was seen this fall on several occasions driving Chrome along a road between Hanover and Littlestown only about 20 miles from where one of Walnut Hall's most famous stallions, Tom Ridge, is standing at stud.
An Adams County SPCA humane officer finally caught up with Frost on Nov. 11 outside a food market in Littlestown, Pa. Chrome was "dripping blood" from multiple wounds include lacerations on his legs that appeared to come from bottles hurled at him on the road, recalled officer Abigail Avery.
Frost said he got him "from some Amish man in New Holland." That struck a chord with Meg Leavitt, who helped found the Kentucky Equine Humane Center, believed to be the first large animal shelters of its kind. She had attended the infamous livestock auction in New Holland - where thousands of ex-buggy horses, plow horses and race horses are sold for slaughter each year - and witnessed cruelty firsthand several years ago. Leavitt was accompanied by U.S. Rep. Ed Whitfield, his wife Connie - both outspoken animal advocates - and several bodyguards. They found a severely debilitated horse unable to stand and then found themselves menaced by several auction workers as they tried to help the horse, she said.
"We felt threatened," said Leavitt. "We needed bodyguards."
When Leavitt got a call from a reporter at HarnessLink, a website for harness racing industry, about Chrome she turned to the USTA fund that supports abused and neglected retired race horses.
Then her husband, Alan, stepped in and said he wanted Chrome to come live with them.
"We will keep him until he's healthy and gets his trust back," said Meg Leavitt. "Then will see if he can be trained for something new. It depends on him and what he's ready for."
Frost is being held in Adams County Prison on weapons charges stemming from the multiple guns found in Frost's cart. Avery says cruelty charges against Frost are pending. "I would like to see him forbidden from owning animals again," she said.
Chrome, who has been nicknamed Roger by the Adams County SPCA staff, will be pampered on Kentucky bluegrass.
"It's a wonderful opportunity," said Leavitt. "We want to see him blossom."

Canopy Structural Changes Following Widespread Mortality of Canopy Dominant Trees
AbstractCanopy structure affects forest function by determining light availability and distribution. Many forests throughout the upper Great Lakes region are dominated by mature, even-aged, early successional aspen and birch, which comprise 35%–40% of canopy leaf area, and which are senescing at accelerating rates. In 2008 at the University of Michigan Biological Station, we initiated the Forest Accelerated Succession ExperimenT (FASET) by stem girdling all aspen and birch in replicated stands to induce mortality. Our objective was to understand type and rate of canopy structural changes imposed by rapid but diffuse disturbance consisting of mortality of a single age-species cohort. We characterized changes in canopy structural features in 2008–2011 using ground-based Portable Canopy Lidar (PCL) in paired treated and control stands. As aspen and birch in treated plots died, gap fraction of the upper canopy increased, average leaf height decreased, total canopy height declined, and openness of the whole-canopy increased. All of these trends became more pronounced with time. Our findings suggest that as forests throughout the region pass through the impending successional transition prompted by widespread mortality of canopy-dominant early successional aspen and birch species, the canopy will undergo significant structural reorganization with consequences for forest carbon assimilation.

FC: Of Mice and Men | By John Steinbeck | Project By Nick Greene
1: The Setting | The Salinas Valley | The Ranch | The novel is set in the Salinas Valley, which is a major agricultural area in California. Often considered to be a beautiful area, the introduction of the novel portrays part of the valley as The Garden of Eden. This portrayal as The Garden shows the simplicity of nature as a possible relief from the world as well as a potential cause of demise, as Lennie was killed in this Garden of Eden. In this way, The Garden, possibly symbolic of dreams, shows that such pursuits for a dream can ultimately be disastrous. | The ranch within the Salinas Valley provides the place for the events of the novel to occur. Here, Lennie and George will work to attempt to gain their dream and ultimately Lennie will kill Curley's wife.
2: The Characters | Lennie | Lennie craves the better life that so many others also crave. For him, he dreams of living on a small farm and tending to rabbits. He also represents George's dream of living on the farm with Lennie and a possibly trouble free life. By George's action of killing Lennie, George can be seen to be letting go of his dream for that quiet ranch as well as also showing the death of Lennie's dream. In this way, Lennie is the ultimate symbol of the falsity of the American Dream. | Symbol of the American Dream | Symbol of Societal Oppression | With his mental disabilities and society's lack of concern for his well-being, Lennie acts as the ultimate symbol of oppression. Whether through Curley's attacks or the mob to kill him, someone who is arguably the nicest, although accidentally murderous, is attacked by the very society that he lives in.
3: George | George acts as a friend to Lennie by assisting him in life, although he does feel his fair share of disgruntlement. Throughout the novel, George looks after Lennie and tries to do what he thinks is best for him. In the end, he makes the decision to put Lennie out of his misery and possibly avoid a worse fate. | Lennie's Caretaker | George dreams of living on a ranch with Lennie and being able to care and work for himself. This is his American Dream that he is willing to work for and has always wanted. His action of killing Lennie shows his compassion with Lennie's own misery and finally accepting that his dream is unobtainable. | Pursuer of the American Dream | George can be seen as witty, smart, and kind, although he often insults Lennie. He also shows deep dedication in his care of Lennie. | Basic Traits | A movie portrayal of George
4: Crooks | Crooks' main purpose in the novel is to show the racist abuses inflicted by society. He is separated from the other ranchers in the text and feels dreadfully alone, and only the innocence of Lennie convinces him to open to the outside world. | Crooks' secondary purpose is to show the harm of isolation, as a life separated from society due to race made him unwilling to let others into his trust. | Racial Oppression | Isolation | A Movie Portrayal of Crooks
5: Slim | Slim stands as the well respected rancher of the group, and is described as commanding the respect in his advice as well as decisions. He is also seen as kind, such as through his gift of a dog to Lennie. Along with these values, he also works hard and stands for what he believes in, such as threatening to help Lennie fight Curley. | His ultimate contribution to the novel, however, lies in his last words of the novel. By telling George that killing Lennie had to be done, he admits that sometimes pain must be ended and that the American Dream must sometimes be put down. | Description | Main Purpose | A Movie Portrayal of Slim
6: Themes | The American Dream | ---George and Lennie dream of buying their own farm and living off of the land, and Lennie focuses his mind of the idea of caring for rabbits. ---Candy also wants to join in the farm and be able to have more control over his life ---The American Dream can be seen as a lie, as just when they thought they could actually accomplish the dream, Lennie killed Curley's wife. This act made the dream unobtainable.
7: Abuses By Others | ---Lennie's killing of the mice in his childhood ---Lennie's act of murder against Curley's wife ---Curley's assault on Lennie and attempts to fight ---the heron eating the small and defenseless snake ---the group of men seeking to kill Lennie for the murder ---the racist attitudes held by many, including Curley's wife's threats, toward Crooks
8: Symbols | The Heron and the Snake | The Heron eating the much smaller and seemingly defenseless snake symbolizes the tendency of society to trample on the weak. The fleeing of the heron after the arrival of Lennie also shows that these abuses will continue until something formidable enters the scene to stop the abuse.
9: Mice and Rabbits | The Old Dog | Candy's old dog, which he had owned for a very long time, was described as being old, slow, smelly, and in pain. Due to these facts, Carlson shot the dog to put it out of its misery. This act ties to the eventual shooting of Lennie and shows that sometimes the proper and just thing is to end the pain, even if by somewhat extreme means. The dog ultimately becomes a symbol of the need for compassion and the embracing of flaws in life. | Both represent innocence as well as the abuses against the innocent. As small and simple creatures, the simpleness of nature creates the intended sense of innocence. They also represent the oppression on the weak as Lennie was known to kill mice accidentally as a child. If he ever got the opportunity to raise the rabbits, the same things would likely happen.
10: The Use of Diction | The main use of diction to influence the novel is the use of swearing, which is seemingly found on almost every page. This use contributes to the overall sense of realism in the novel as well as further developing the cultural lifestyle of the ranchers of the time. | The Use of Swearing | Diction of the Common Man | The phrasing used by many of the ranchers contributes to the portrayal of the general lack of education. This use of improper grammar adds to the idea of the oppressed and hard hit farmer who strives for the American Dream.
11: The Portrayal of Mental Disabilities | Accomplished through Lennie, the mental handicapped are presented as almost childlike in mental disposition, although Lennie is also seen as a towering and strong person. Lennie is also seen to be unusually kind, although countless misfortunes, including murder, occur from his condition. | By portraying Lennie in such a way, Steinbeck can create Lennie as someone who society is taking advantage of as well as oppressing in hardship. These ideas help reinforce the idea that the American Dream is a lie. | Effects of This Portrayal | The Portrayal

I played the New York lottery for the first time last week.
My $2 ticket didn't win the $588 million payout — surprise, surprise — but it did buy me several minutes of musing, most of it instructive, some of it enjoyable.
I quickly ran out of spending ideas — slightly larger apartment, new computer, clothes for my wife, a car to replace the two we sold when moving to Manhattan. I realized I couldn't even spend the income on a lottery bonanza, unless I started buying things I don't need or particularly want.
I would do some nice things for my three sons, but not so much as to take away their incentive to work and to live frugally. No "trust fund babies" on my watch.
I would give away a hefty portion, mainly to church, but also realized I would be besieged by every charity that came across my name, not to mention lawyers and financial advisers eager to help me manage the funds. I concluded that the onslaught of "new best friends" would be depressing.
In the end, I liked the idea of financial security, but saw little to be gained from sudden wealth. In fact, given the misery that tends to befall lottery winners, I might have dodged a bullet by not winning.
After this brief fantasy, I wondered more than ever why the wealthy work so hard to avoid taxes and other obligations of citizenship. Even though their effective taxes are lower than they were during the Reagan years and far lower than during the great prosperity of the post-World War II era, the wealthy are lobbying fiercely to pay even less in taxes. Once again, they seem willing to crash the government for everyone, rather than pay their share of its support.
They pursue the delusion that "takers" need to pay more if they choose to be dependent on government. Besides showing how little they know of other people, the wealthy fail to see how they have been the most aggressive "takers." They line up for government bailouts whenever possible, demand tax breaks when building new facilities, yearn to exploit resources on public land, and charge tidy sums for military adventures that they themselves rarely volunteer to serve.
The wealthy extol the ethical swamp once voiced by Ayn Rand: "I owe nothing to my brothers." That isn't an honest view of their own self-sufficiency. Most great fortunes were built on government benefits, like public roadways, public airports, patent protection, public works projects, national defense, and a financial system that the greedy routinely game for their own benefit.
Moreover, Rand's view violates the basic teachings of both Judaism and Christianity, violates the spirit of mutual obligation that founded this nation when it threw off the shackles of predatory aristocracy, and violates common sense.
The wealthy could live well with a fraction of what they have. The rest is sheer avarice, a delusional belief that excess will make them safe, secure, admirable and happy.
Lobbyists and legislators serving the wealthy try to claim the moral high ground in debates like the so-called "fiscal cliff" snarl, as if serving the interests of the 1 percent would make the nation stronger. In fact, exactly the opposite is true. Catering to greed hurts everyone, including the wealthy.

|Oracle Workflow Guide
Release 2.6.2
Part Number A95265-03
|Master Index
Oracle Workflow provides a special item type called System: Error, which contains three error processes that you can use for generic error handling in any of your processes. Note however, that you cannot customize the error processes in the System: Error item type. If you want to incorporate functionality that is not available in these error processes, you should create your own custom error handling process in your own item type.
Note: Rather than relying on an error process to handle errors due to specific business rule incompatibilities, you should try to model those situations into your workflow process definition. For example, if a function activity can potentially encounter an error because a business prerequisite is not met, you might model your process to send a notification to an appropriate role to correct that situation if it occurs, so that the workflow process can progress forward. If you do not model this situation into your workflow process, and instead rely on the error to activate an error process, the entire workflow process will have an 'Error' status and will halt until a workflow administrator handles the error.

|28.10.2011 - Islamic Foundations: A new financial model
|Many keen observers of Islamic banking & finance are not satisfied with the current "banking" based model of Islamic financial intermediation and hence suggest that a new Islamic model must be developed for the savers and users of the surplus funds in society. One such model could be called Islamic Foundations. An Islamic foundation is a collective saving and investment programme that allows its members to save together in order to do business together. This could be a deposit taking institution in itself or may have a deposit taking institution as part of its overall operations...............................................Full Article: Source

Georgetown barely brushes Colgate aside in a close game
In what has steadily become an unpleasant December ritual for most Hoyas fans, the Georgetown basketball team (6-2, 0-0 Big East) narrowly escaped with a victory in a heavily favored matchup against a non-conference opponent. This time, the Blue and Gray unconvincingly prevailed against Colgate (4-3, 0-0 Patriot League), 61-55 in front of an anxious crowd of 7,966 at Verizon Center Saturday afternoon.
As always, shooting was the story of the game for the Hoyas, who shot a paltry 37.5 percent from the field and an abysmal 1 of 15 from three-point range. Sophomore guard D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera, the leading scorer for the Hoyas, had a particularly tough outing, shooting 1 of 8 from the field, and scoring a season-low 4 points. Senior guard Markel Starks also struggled, scoring 12 points but shooting 3 of 13 from the field.
Despite the win, Georgetown Head Coach John Thompson III expressed disappointment with his team's performance and did not make any of his players available to the media after the game.
"Our group has to play a lot smarter, we have to make good decisions, if we want to win," said Thompson following the win. "They played a soft man-to-man which we picked apart. We did a very poor job of executing today."
Luckily for the Hoyas, the three-point centric Raiders also struggled with their stroke. Entering the contest as one of the top three-point shooting teams in the country, Colgate missed their first eleven field goal attempts of the game. This did not bode for the remainder of the game as the Raiders shot an anemic 32 percent from the floor, including 5 of 24 from three-point range. Sophomore guard Austin Tillotson, the only Raider who seemed to find his form, scored a game-high 21 points, including 11 of Colgate's 15 first half points.
"We obviously got off to a cold shooting start. We don't have the luxury of being able to pound the ball inside and pound the glass and I credit Georgetown for doing that in the second half," said Colgate Head Coach Matt Langel. "Just the way our team is built and the players we have, we've got to be able to make jump shots. In our four game win stretch we were able to do that, but not so much tonight especially early in the game."
Notwithstanding the outside shooting problems and streaky play from the usually spectacular backcourt, the Hoyas found success in the post against the undersized Raiders. Junior center Joshua Smith lead the Hoyas in scoring with 14 points. Despite being double teamed for much of the game, Smith was able to use his size pull down rebounds on the offensive glass and to generate scoring opportunities or get to the line. Senior forward Nate Lubick also sparked the Georgetown offense, scoring 10 points on 5 of 8 shooting. Lubick also controlled the boards for the Hoyas, tallying 7 rebounds during the game.
"We did a better job of getting (Nate) the ball," said Thompson. "We have to get him the ball down there, because he scores at an efficient rate down there. I thought he did a good job of getting key rebounds when we needed them."
Junior forward Mikael Hopkins, who struggled much of last season, had a strong outing, continuing a resurgent season in his role off the bench. Hopkins scored 9 points and pulled down 8 rebounds, providing the Hoyas a much needed spark especially towards the end of the first half.
"He has done that for several games now, he comes in and gives us a boost," said Thompson. "He's been doing a good job at rebounding, and he's been allergic to rebounds up until now, up until this year, but he's pursing the ball he's getting rebounds out of his area, he's getting ones in his area, so I think he's been giving us a pretty big lift off the bench in general."
Despite the tough win, Thompson hopes his team learns from these challenging matchups in order to prepare for similar opponents they may face in the NCAA Tournament later on this year.
"At the end of the day hopefully a lot of these games will prepare us for the NCAA tournament. I said at the beginning of the year that this is the toughest schedule that we've put together since I've been a coach here," said Thompson. "It's easy to pick up the schedule and look and start talking about the Oregon and everyone that was in Puerto Rico, VCU, Michigan who we could possibly play, down the road we have Michigan State and Kansas – it's easy to look at those games, but it's all these other games that are all against very good teams, and hopefully that will get us ready for the tournament."
The Hoyas will have some time off before facing off against Elon (5-4, 0-0 SOCON) at Verizon Center on Tuesday, December 17. Tip-off is set for 7 pm.
Game Notes: Georgetown is now 8-1 all-time against Colgate and 149-84 and schools from the Patriot League… The win marks the Hoyas' third consecutive game where they have held their opponents to under 32 percent shooting… The last time the Hoyas shot less than 40 percent from the field and won was on February 23 earlier this year, when they defeated Syracuse 57-46 at the Carrier Dome.

Actually, it makes my mii look overweight even though my BMI is under 22, so I think that's just a general problem with the representation of miis in this software. My mii looks tubby like he's got a beachball for a belly or he's 9 months pregnant or something, and not even recording my waist measurement did anything to change it. I swear Nintendo is going to give some people body image issues and induce anorexia or something stupid because of the fat appearance of the miis. Maybe they thought those fat bellies looked cute or something, but I don't think it's very prudent for a fitness product that people might have some expectation of representing themselves.

The Centre early on Tuesday withdrew the tsunami warning it issued in the wake of a massive earthquake, measuring 8.2 on the Richter scale, off the Indonesian coast.
It said it was safe for coastal residents to return home.
Four hours have passed since the earthquake, which the US Geological Survey said measured 8.7, and no unusual sea conditions have been reported from Port Blair or Chennai, S K Swami, Director, Disaster Management, said in a message issued at 0230 hours.
The Centre, however, asked authorities in the coastal states and Andaman and Nicobar islands to continue to keep a watch as a precautionary measure.
"The earthquake does not appear to have generated tsunamis over the Indian region and in view of this the advise issued earlier by Indian Meteorological Department regarding possibility of a tsunami stands cancelled," the message issued to the chief secretaries of Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andaman and Nicobar islands and Lakshadweep, said.

Bundle up, Seattle. It's going to be a cold one.
"People have to recognize that we haven't had it this cold here in a long time," Seattle-based National Weather Service meteorologist Brad Colman told reporters. "It's not just a shot of a few snow showers. … It really is a major winter blast, especially cold temperature-wise."
How cold? Meteorologists are expecting temperatures to plummet to the 30s, 20s, maybe even the tweens in the region over the next few days — marking what could be the coldest weather the state has seen in 18 years. As for the fluffy white stuff, it could hit Seattle, but the National Weather Service just canceled a winter storm warning for Puget Sound, saying the storm is tracking farther north.
If you can, it'd be a good idea to clean your house's gutters, insulate your pipes, make sure your pets have access to water and pack up your car with chains, blankets and food — just in case. For more neighborhood-specific info, check out what your local bloggers have to say:
- Capitol Hill Seattle: Everything you need to know about snow on the Hill
- My Ballard: Get ready for winter weather
- Beacon Hill Blog: Cold front coming — are you prepared?
- Rainier Valley Post: Could the valley get snow tomorrow?
- West Seattle Blog:West Seattle Weather Watch: Snow threat lessening
P.S. — Cold, snowy weather is dangerous, no doubt. But there's a bright side, especially if you're a kid at heart. Writes reader Sun Ce:
I am still waiting the day when we get 5′ or more in one blast. I don't know why. Maybe as a kid, I always see these OTHER places get HUGE snowfalls and would be down with that. I mean, Seattle just likes rain.
So, quick question: How much do you like snow?

Short-Lived GM Job for Vickie: Orton Beats Edge, Dibiase in 2-1 MatchMay 13, 2010
What in the hell is really going on RAW? Vickie Guerrero and Edge teaming up again? I thought I was seeing and hearing things. Does the WWE Universe have to go through this again?
Ths is big fans. Randy Orton opened the show. He was talking about how he more or less didn't care for Edge and explained why he didn't want to team up again with Edge, and why he can't trust him.
Just about then Edge came out but didn't enter the ring. Smart move. He told Randy that he talked to the higher ups about a few things.
According to Edge, the WWE management agreed with him about how the celebrity GMs shouldn't have any power over the superstars.
He went on to say that he also mentioned to them that RAW needs only one permanent GM and again, according to Edge, WWE agreed with him and he referred ...... I couldn't believe my eyes, but yes it was Vickie Guerrero'
Should have known that once Edge got on RAW, he would be scheming and trying to take over. He almost succeeded. I said almost because his little scheme backfired.
Vickie announced that Randy would be in a match that night and it was to be a two on one handicap match. Edge and a partner of his choosing. He literally stood there with Vickie gloating.
Edge and Vickie acted as if nothing bad had happened between them. They were apologizing to one another for the past. Ughhh is all I have to say about all that. Edge used Vickie in the past and he tried to again.
Well it was time for the match and Randy was all ready to clean up the mat with Edge and whoever his partner was. I never thought that his teammate would be.......
Ted Dibiase. They were acting like they were best friends. Maybe they were in a past life. Anything is possible.
The match started and Vickie was sitting at ringside just like Edge asked her to be. She said she did not want to be left alone with Randy because he was scary looking.
Edge and Ted ganged up on Orton and they were relentless until Randy got into that psychotic stage, where he looks and acts like a viper. That's when the Viper struck and bit his prey.
Orton was laying on the mat after he threw Edge out of the ring. Randy had that devil look on his face. His body was twitching as he watched Dibase on the mat. The fans were going crazy. This is what they wanted and needed to see. Randy is their hero. The bad guys had to be put down.
Edge was on his feet and tried to get back in the ring but the Viper was right there and knocked him back on the floor where Edge hit the announcer's table.
Now it was just Orton and Dibiase in the ring. Nothing between them, no interference, just them. You knew what was coming and it happened, Randy RKO'd Dibiase.
After the match, things were getting really interesting. Randy jumped out of the ring and was slowly walking towards Vickie. She was screaming for Edge to get up from the floor.
No response at all from Edge. Randy continued to walk towards Vickie and she kept screaming for Edge. Out of the corner of his eye, Randy saw Edge get up and he RKO'd him as well.
Vickie was still screaming that she resigns and she managed to get past Randy when he took his eyes off of her for two seconds. Guess that's the end of the Edge and Vickie era.
What's the moral of this story? Answer is....all's not fair in love and war.

This is third post related to my new project – migration of SWT from GTK+ 2.x to GTK+ 3.x .
In order to successfully build SWT with GTK+ 3.x all deprecations must be resolved. Big chunk of deprecated methods are GDK methods.
What is GDK ?
GDK is GIMP Drawing Kit. Wikipedia states that GDK "is a computer graphics library that acts as a wrapper around the low-level drawing and windowing functions provided by the underlying graphics system….GDK lies between the X server and the GTK+ library, handling basic rendering such as drawing primitives, raster graphics (bitmaps), cursors, fonts, as well as window events and drag-and-drop functionality." ( more on GDK here )
GDK has a lot of tools for most of the use cases that one might need. I have found very informative GDK reference manual on their website .
What is GIMP ?
If GDK is GIMP Drawing Kit, it would be important to find out – What is GIMP. Thankfully GIMP has huge website that describes what it does in many languages. If you are interested, please visit http://www.gimp.org to find out more.
Making story short – GIMP is open-source drawing software used for image editing, free-form drawing and other manipulation with images and photos.
Image is taken from: http://redskiesatnight.com
GDK was originally developed for GIMP, however it is used in many places including SWT as GIMP toolkit called GTK+. With new release of GTK+, several steps needed to be taken to successfully migrate from old GTK+ 2.x to new GTK+ 3.x. As I have already mentioned – one of the major steps is to implement Cairo library for drawing instead of deprecated GDK methods.

"They're dumb and they're lazy, they're also dishonest." That's how NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell assessed the liberal media's parroting of President Obama's sky-is-falling predictions regarding the pending federal sequester, which, of course, the media are largely failing to remind folks was the president's idea.
The $85 billion in cuts amounts to a mere "two percent of the budget," Bozell noted, but in reality, "it's more like $22 billion," in discretionary cuts, which is about 0.25 percent of the budget. "This is just typical fearmongering" from the left, the Media Research Center founder told the audience of the February 22 Hannity. Also discussed on Friday's "Media Mash" was MSNBC's Chuck Todd dismissing the "mythology of the liberal media."

The Peninsula Oilers' 8-7 win over Athletes in Action Tuesday was their second come-from-behind win in five games this season, continuing what has become a phenomenon with the Peninsula team.
Both head coach Gary Adcock and the rest of the team would like to see the offensive fireworks launched a little earlier, though.
"We've just got to make sure we keep the intensity up for all nine innings, instead of just the last ones," said second-year Oilers outfielder Jeff Jones.
Adcock spent a little longer than usual with Tuesday's post-game pep talk.
" My whole philosophy with the preseason is that you definitely want to win ballgames, but at the same token, you need to prepare for the season," Adcock said. "Part of that preparation is taking players from all different programs across the country and now trying to mold a team. That's the hard part.
"I need to let them know what I expect from them and what I demand from them. I know where they're coming from, they know where I'm coming from. If that requires a 20-minute talk after a game one night and a pat on the butt after the next game, that's what we'll do."
n n n
Pitcher David Humen's five-inning performance Tuesday gave Adcock some peace of mind heading into Wednesday's series opener against the Santa Barbara, Calif., Foresters.
"We have more options," Adcock said. "It's better to roll into a game with everybody at (a 100-pitch count). When you've got 400 pitches to play with, you know you're going to make it through a game."
Adcock said he went as far as to start asking around the dugout who was wearing his size cleats, in case he had to take the mound as an emergency reliever.
n n n
Assistant coach Doug Jumelet concluded his playing career with the Oilers after Saturday's 3-2 win over the Oceanside, Calif., Waves.
"I was joking with him before the game that if he got a couple of hits, he might retire as the Oilers all-time leader in batting average," Adcock said after the game.
Jumelet entered the game batting .667 (2-for-3), but went 0-4 in his farewell appearance.
n n n
Pitcher Andy Perkins, who attends college at Cal Poly Pomona, got a crash course in Alaska and Alaska summer baseball Sunday.
Perkins arrived in Alaska early Sunday morning and immediately received a great welcome to the Great Land.
"I'd never seen a moose before in my life," he said. "I saw three on the way to my host family's house.
"It was pretty cool."
For most people, that would have been enough excitement for one day. But Perkins still had to climb the hill for the Oilers that afternoon against the Oceanside, Calif., Waves even though at that point he only knew one of his teammates.
"We've been warning these guys that they'll be going straight off the plane and into the baseball games," said Adcock, who has been strapped for bodies early this season.
Perkins worked three scoreless innings in Peninsula's victory, but he walked four batters and got out of bases-loaded jams in the seventh and eighth innings.
"It was nice getting out of those situations, but, obviously, I don't want to get into the habit of getting myself into things like that," Perkins said.
With the day he had, though, he can hardly be blamed for the momentary lapses of control.

Eagan was taking out top teams left and right heading into the Class 2A semifinals of the Minnesota high school boys hockey tournament.
Then the Wildcats ran into defending state champion Edina — the tournament's No. 1 seed.
That was a different story.
The Hornets knocked off No. 5 Eagan 3-1 on Friday night at the Xcel Energy Center to earn a title-game matchup with Lakeville North on Saturday.
"Edina's a good team — no question about it," Eagan senior defenseman Nick Wolff said. "We just had to work our butts off and keep on battling every shift, and we did that. We left it all out there. It's a tough loss."
Eagan (19-10-1) continued to play the staunch defense that powered it to wins over St. Thomas Academy in the Section 3 final and Duluth East in the state quarterfinals Thursday. Junior goaltender Andrew Lindgren delivered another outstanding performance, stopping 23 Edina shots.
But the Hornets (25-4-1) broke through in the first period. Dylan Malmquist sent a shot on net from in close. Lindgren got a pad on the shot, but the puck was inadvertently hit into the net by an Eagan player.
The play from that point forward was fairly even until sophomore forward Garrett Wait scored from the top of the circles to give Edina a 2-0 lead with 11 seconds left in the second period.
"We weren't nervous," Wolff said. "We've been down 2-0 before, we've been down 4-0 before. We knew we had to play our game, keep battling and execute systems."
But the Wildcats couldn't find the scoring touch. They were held to 16 shots on goal.
Eagan's only goal came when senior forward Jack Jenson scored with 46 seconds to play in the third period.
"Our team has a lot of heart," Wolff said. "We persevere, and we just leave it all out there. That's what we did."
But Edina responded moments later when Malmquist scored an empty-netter.
Much of Eagan's success this season has been built on physical play. But Friday night, Edina matched it.
"We knew we had to," Hornets coach Curt Giles said. "They're strong kids, and they work extremely hard. … If you run and hide, you have issues. You can't run and hide; you've got to face up to it."
The tournament appearance was Eagan's fourth — with three coming in the past four seasons.
Eagan will face Eden Prairie at 4 p.m. Saturday in the Class 2A third-place game. A win would match the best finish in school history.

of improving productive efficiency and carcass quality of beef cattle
under different environmental conditions.
The weaning weight of the calf is an important factor in evaluating
cow performance. The Oklahoma station (coop. USDA) found that
selection for weaning weight could be made more effective by correcting
for the effects of certain environmental factors. The age and sex
of the calf, the age of its dam, and the year in which the calf was
raised were important factors governing weaning weight. Cows
tended to repeat their performance, which indicates that females can
be culled for mothering ability on the basis of their first calf record.
The New Mexico station (coop. USDA) demonstrated that calf
grade at weaning age is not associated with subsequent gain in the
feed lot or carcass grade. Yearling feeder grade had a low but significant
influence on carcass grade. On the other hand, the gains made
by cattle on feed were found to be closely related to the live grades
and carcass grades of fat cattle. The results of the New Mexico study
give additional proof that selection of cattle for gaining ability can
benefit both the breeder and feeder.
The Montana station (coop. USDA) learned that heifer progeny
groups wintered on a good growing ration ranked in the same order
for rate of gain as full-fed steer progeny sired by the same bulls.
Results of a 7-year comparison of feed-lot gains with gains on good
range indicate that the sire progeny that made highest gains on
pasture also gained more in the feed lot. This supports earlier results
at the New Mexico station.
Through the use of performance-tested bulls, the Oregon station
(coop. USDA) has been able to bring about considerable improvement
in the rate and economy of gain in each of their Angus and Hereford
lines within a single generation of cattle, even though some inbreeding
was practiced. The improvement in rate of gain, ranging up to as
much as 30 percent for some bulls, was greater than the improvement
in feed efficiency. In performance testing, bull calves are generally
fed for a period of about 180 days. The station found that records
on feed efficiency of calves can be evaluated more critically when the
animals are fed to make a given amount of gain. For calves fed on
this basis there was a significant correlation between time and feed
required to make the gain, whereas there was no correlation between
gains and feed consumed when calves were fed on a time constant basis.
The Utah station (coop. USDA), found that efficiency of gain is
influenced significantly by weight of the calves at the beginning of
the feeding period as well as by sire and sex. With increase in size,
calves tend to gain faster but less efficiently.
At the Colorado station (coop. USDA) crosses of inbred Hereford
lines resulted in calves that were 12 percent heavier at weaning and
11 percent higher in grade than inbred calves sired by the same bulls
and out of inbred cows. Bulls produced from the crossline matings
were also heavier and graded higher at yearling age than inbred
bulls. In cooperators' herds, inbred sires produced calves that averaged
19 pounds heavier at weaning than the progeny of selected
outbred bulls. If substantiated by later results, these methods should
prove valuable as a means of increasing productivity of beef herds.

Danielle - posted on 10/12/2009 ( 35 moms have responded )
My 3mo has been showing little interest in eating and today and yesterday he's gone 7 HOURS without eating! What's wrong?
Background info:
My son is a healthy little boy. At his last doctors appt he was in the 95th percentile for his height, weight and head circumference. He normally eats 6oz (of expressed breast milk) every 3 to 3.5 hours, he eats 5 to 6 times a day and he sleep through the night (from 9pm to 7am).
These last few days he has showed little interest in eating. He'll play with the nipple with his tongue, push out the bottle with his tongue or turn his head away before finally eating. Recently he's refused the bottle and fussed without taking a drop. Some of his feeding have stretched to 4-5hrs before he finally eats and then yesterday he went 7 HOURS before finally giving in and eating.
I was so worried about him not getting enough to eat that I added 1 tablespoon of rice cereal (for the first time ever) to his dinner bottle (at 6pm) and before bed bottle (at 9pm) which he ate all 6oz of each time and showed no bad reaction to the cereal. But now today, he's refusing to eat once again. I give him milk right after I pump so I thought maybe its something I ate. So I gave him some frozen BM and its the same thing, he doesn't want to eat. I tried burping, changing environments, letting someone else try feeding him and nothing works. He does have wet diapers but they are no where near as full as normal. He is a little more fussy than normal but nothing outragous. I'm really worried.
My mom said he's teeting because he's drooling some and chewing on his hand. But isn't he too young to have teeth?
What should I do?

Following her every move
Former champion works with potential winner
By Ed Richards
Daily Press
July 8, 2003
YORKTOWN -- Sandy Petitto, the owner and chief instructor of Petitto's Black Belt Academy in Yorktown, knows what it takes to win a world championship in taekwondo. She did it in sparring three years ago. Now she has a student, 12-year-old Sarah Wister, who has the makings of a world champ - natural talent, tenacity, determination and the work ethic of a perfectionist. While it took Petitto close to 12 years to accomplish her feat, Wister recently came close to becoming an American Taekwondo Association world champion in only three years. But Wister fell short by losing a three-way tiebreaker for first place in weapons on the opening day of the ATA World Championships in Little Rock, Ark., June 13. The competition was open only to those who had finished the year in the top 10 in the world rankings. "I think the difference was their freestyle part of the tiebreaker was much fancier than mine," Wister said. "The person who placed first had a lot of creativity."
A rising seventh-grader at Grafton Middle School, Wister, ranked No. 4 in weapons, was competing in the first-degree black belt division for ages 11-13. "It was close. Sometimes it just depends on what the judges are looking for that day," Petitto said. "Overall, Sarah did fabulous because she was competing in that division for the first time. It's very strong, very difficult, and very competitive with 300 to 400 kids in it throughout the world." Petitto, 37, a fourth-degree black belt, also competed in the top 10 part of the World Championship, placing third in forms in the 30-39 age division. Petitto, 5-2 and 135 pounds, also competed in sparring but lost 2-1 in her opening match. The three-day tournament, which attracted close to 6,000 competitors and 30,000 fans to the Little Rock Convention Center, also launched a new World Championship season during the final two days. Both Wister and Petitto did better in this competition.
Wister, 5 feet and 95 pounds, received her second-degree black belt just before going to Little Rock. She won the sparring and weapons divisions and placed second in forms. "She got a fantastic jump for the 2004 season," said Petitto, who also placed first in forms in the regular competition. Wister, a Harry Potter fan who excels at computer video games, has been a special student since joining Petitto's Academy three years ago. "I had been wanting to do it since I was 7," she said. "I saw how cool it was after watching movies and stuff like 'The Karate Kid' on TV."
She also motivated the remainder of her family to join, too. That included her sister, Kiana, now a 9-year-old first-degree black belt, her father Dale, a certified taekwondo instructor, and her mother, Luci, office manager at the academy for more than two years. Her dad said Sarah has always been a talented athlete. She played baseball in the 9-10 York County Little League and likes taking on her dad in basketball. As for martial arts, her dad said "we don't have to push her, and she loves teaching other kids."
Wister has been a winner from the beginning, and that includes a championship in forms in the recent spring nationals in Las Vegas. Wister is determined to excel. "My goal is to become a world champion, not just a third place," she said.

Combine the first two ingredients in a small bowl to make the Seasoning Mix. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the Seasoning Mix over the chicken pieces and rub it in well, and sprinkle 1½ teaspoons of the Seasoning Mix over the shrimp and rub it in well. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a heavy 12-inch skillet over high heat. When the oil is very hot, after about 4 minutes, add the chicken pieces, in batches if necessary, and brown them on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a bowl and set aside.
Add the ham to the oil in the skillet and cook, stirring once or twice, for 2 minutes. Add the onions and 1 tablespoon of the seasoning mix, and cook until a crust forms on the bottom of the skillet, about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook until the crust hardens, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 cup of the wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet fairly clean. Cook, scraping to keep the mixture from sticking, for 2 minutes. Stir in the stock, scrape the skillet bottom, and bring to a boil. Stir in the remaining seasoning mix and bring to a rolling boil.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Stir in the remaining ¼ cup wine and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Put the chicken and any accumulated juices in an ovenproof casserole or baking pan. Arrange the shrimp over the chicken, and pour the sauce over all. Cover the casserole and bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
