In April 2011, Dillon Herman, drunk in downtown New London at 3 a.m., accused another man of stealing his truck. Herman took out a Glock Model 23 he was carrying in the waistband of his pants and chased the man, who fell several times while trying to escape. Herman fired a shot at the man, but missed, police said.
In April 2011, Dillon Herman, drunk in downtown New London at 3 a.m., accused another man of stealing his truck. Herman took out a Glock Model 23 he was carrying in the waistband of his pants and chased the man, who fell several times while trying to escape. Herman fired a shot at the man, but missed, police said.
The truck was never stolen. It was found parked on Bank Street and its keys were in Herman's pockets, police said.
Herman was arrested on a slew of charges, including felonies. About a week later, he also had his pistol permit taken away.
As he started his trip through the justice system, Herman, 25, who lives in Preston, also did what hundreds of other Connecticut residents do every year when their permits are revoked or their applications are denied: He appealed to the Board of Firearms Permit Examiners to get his permit back.
The seven-member board functions like a court, but the only decisions members make are whether to back the decision to not grant or take away a pistol permit.
Almost 120 appeals are pending in front of the board. Normally, the board meets monthly, handling about 15 appeals at a time, but its backlog has gotten so large that two extra meetings have been added in June.
Reasons for losing the permits usually involve an encounter with police, such as an arrest for driving drunk with a gun in a car or when police are called for domestic dispute and notice guns are kept in the house, even if they're not used.
In early August 2012, just before a 90-day deadline, the board received a letter from Herman appealing the decision. He and the state then each submitted evidence in preparation for a hearing.
Herman got his pistol permit in April 2011, according to the questionnaire he filled out as part of his appeal. He only had it for a year before the incident in New London.
The state submitted a copy of the New London police affidavit justifying Herman's arrest. Herman filled out a questionnaire in October in which he wrote: "I feel the charges against me are false and will be dropped."
Herman's hearing was held on April 25 at state police headquarters in Middletown, almost nine months after he submitted his appeal. He was one of nine people appealing a permit being taken away. Five others appealed the denial of their applications to get a permit.
The board meetings begin at noon and go on for hours, sometimes into the evening.
The seven board members are appointed by the governor. The Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection commissioner (who oversees the state police), the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection commissioner (who oversees hunting), the Connecticut Police Chiefs Association and two gun groups — the Connecticut State Rifle and Revolver Association and Ye Connecticut Gun Guild — each nominates a member. In addition, two members of the public serve on the board.
The chairman, who must be a lawyer, is Joseph Corradino, an assistant state's attorney in Bridgeport. Corradino was the choice of the DESPP commissioner.
The board members sit behind a table facing an audience of several dozen people roughly evenly split between police officers and civilians.
At hearings, each side — the person appealing, and the state or a local police chief — present documents and call witnesses to back up their claims. The two parties to the appeal and their witnesses sit across the table from board members.
The witnesses, including the person making the appeal, are questioned by someone from their side, then the opposite side, and usually by board members. Questioning is much less formal than in a courtroom.
Herman could have had a lawyer represent him, as many appellants do. State Police Sgt. Paolo D'Alessandro, who is a lawyer, has represented the state at the hearings for the past 18 months.
After all the witnesses have spoken, Chairman Corradino sums up the testimony, then members briefly explain their decisions.
Members vote either to "uphold the issuing authority," which means they agree with the board decision to revoke or deny a permit, or to "overturn the issuing authority," which means they let someone have or keep a permit.
Often, the board members add "for now" to their decision upholding the issuing authority. That means a person lost the appeal but has the right to get the permit after an unspecified "reasonable period."
Anyone losing an appeal can take their case to court. They also have the right to apply for a gun permit again after waiting a year.
On the day of Herman's hearing, four of the five people appealing their denials won their cases, and the appellant in the fifth denial was told he could reapply two weeks later. Of the other permits revoked, four appeals were denied, two appeals were supported, one appeal was withdrawn and one was continued to June.
Herman lost his appeal by default because he wasn't present at the hearing. He was in prison, awaiting trial.
On May 6, a week and a half after his hearing, Herman accepted a plea bargain in his case. He pleaded no contest to attempted second-degree assault and third-degree assault. The other original charges were dropped. He faces up to 18 months in prison when he is sentenced July 22.
Also that day, Herman's bail was dropped from $75,000 to a promise to appear and he was admitted to a residential substance abuse treatment center, where he is required to stay until he is sentenced.
Because attempted second-degree assault is a felony, Herman will no longer qualify for a pistol permit unless he someday gets a pardon.

U.S. mortgage rates surge to 2-year high
U.S. mortgage rates have suddenly jumped from near-record lows and are adding thousands of dollars to the cost of buying a home.
The average rate on the 30-year fixed loan soared this week to 4.46 percent, according to a report Thursday from mortgage buyer Freddie Mac.
That's the highest average in two years and a full point more than a month ago.
Brokers say rising rates are starting to influence Long Island transactions. An old practice known as "buy down points," where buyers pay banks an upfront fee to lower their rates, has returned, said Maria Kafetzis, an associate broker at Douglas Elliman Real Estate in Plainview.
The surge in mortgage rates follows the Federal Reserve's signal that it could slow its bond purchases later this year. A pullback by the Fed would likely send long-term interest rates even higher.
In the short run, the spike in mortgage rates might cause more people to consider buying a home soon. Rates are still low by historical standards.
But eventually, more expensive home loans could price some people out of the housing market.
Mortgage rates are rising because they tend to track the yield on the 10-year Treasury note.
The rate on 30-year loans soared from 3.93 percent last week to 4.46 percent this week -- the biggest one-week jump in 26 years.
A buyer who locked in a 3.35 percent rate in early May on a $200,000 mortgage would pay $881 a month, according to Bankrate.com. The same mortgage at a 4.46 percent rate would run $1,008 a month.
The difference: $127 more a month, or $45,720 over the lifetime of the loan.

Why do you want to go on the Ultimate Adventure?: For the challenge and excitement and adventure that comes from a week long wheeling trip. It is a chance to enjoy being with fellow wheelers, enjoying a week of trails and a trip of a life time. I built my Scout, by myself with some help from friends along the way. It was built to be driven to the trails, wheeled, and then driven back or on to the next trail. Runs great on the highway, wheels trails from mild to wild, and then can be driven back. I have tried to build it as bullet proof as I can, it has gone for a week of wheeling and camping with me, and all over Moab and Colorado wheeling. I have followed Ultimate Adventure since the first one, and it is the one trip that I have really wanted to go on... the week of wheeling, camping, and excitement is something I just want to do. No whiners, that is a rule that me and friends follow out here when we go. But, we also make sure that no man is left behind, everyone pitches in if someone breaks. I will be bringing a solid rig, a positive attitude, and mindset that I am here to enjoy some good camping, wheeling, and make some new friendships while I'm out on this adventure that not everyone goes on or even attempts to go on. The most fun I have had wheeling was on a week long trip I took through Colorado. Wheeling, camping, living out of my Scout for a full week. I just enjoy a good challenge, good friends, great scenery, and a chance to truly live a little. I also think it's time to get a built Scout in on Ultimate Adventure. Seems like everything else has been on it, time for one of the classics to make a showing.

What four-wheeling club do you belong to?: CORVA
Which trails do you run?: Glamis, Dumont, The Cinders, Beaumont, etc.
Have you ever been on a week-long 'wheeling trip?: Yep! but not on purpose ;)
Why do you want to go on the Ultimate Adventure?: It says it all in the title. A bunch of experienced wheelers together, to run some awesome trails, see new stuff, hear good stories, and make friends, all while testing and proving your rig is an all around performer! You could call it "hardcore overlanding", but wearing jeans instead of khakis… I don't know where this trip is going to be, but I've been across most of this country in an RV and I can't imagine "bad" wheeling. It's the side trips that you take that peak my interest as well. It's neat to drive over an old bridge, but way cooler to learn it's history and why it was built. I'm sort of dorky like that. I built this rig myself over the last 18 years with the help of some awesome buddies. We all started small, so we know what it's like to overcome obstacles, mechanical, physical, and mental. That's why we're the first ones to lend a hand, hook a strap, give a part, or toss a hot nut in your sock.

Please list all non-stock equipment: Too much
Winch: 2 Warn 16.5ti's
How long have you been wheeling?: Basically since I could drive
What four-wheeling club do you belong to?: Northwest Overland, TLCA
Which trails do you run?: Like most I have done everything from the Rubicon to Moab and many in between. Mostly now I find new trails while out on extended adventures or weekend trips.
Have you ever been on a week-long 'wheeling trip?: Yes, several times a year
Why do you want to go on the Ultimate Adventure?: My first 4x4 was a 1982 Datsun King Cab pickup my father passed down to me at 20 to take to college as a junior. I had been driving that truck since I passed my driving test and got my first taste of wheeling in that truck. Since that time I have built and run a K5 Blazer, two FJ40's, and an FJ62. All of which were well modified. Having come full circle in life and in an attempt to combine my love for extended adventures and upland bird hunting I now find myself needing the room of a full size rig. Hence my newest project. A highly modified Dodge Ram Power Wagon. Admittedly, it is not the best rig for a trip like this. However, I am "building" this rig to be the best a full size can be. One that can accommodate my love of backcountry exploration and hunting with dogs, as well as, my love of hardcore off-roading. For me the Ultimate Adventure will be the "Ultimate Test" of man and machine. If I can make through the Ultimate Adventure I know I can make it through just about anything. Including my planned 12 month North American adventure planned for my 50th year of birth in 2016.
All that said concerning the wheeling and test of skill and machine there is another equally important reason for joining the Ultimate Adventure. That is, in a word, CAMARADERIE! The chance to meet, spend time with, help, and work with other like minded individuals in the pursuit of a challenge all are passionate about is invariably appealing! It is a chance to foster new friendships! Something which is overlooked in this fast paced modern world. With the right approach and attitude an event like the Ultimate Adventure can become an invaluable and ever-lasting learning experience and memory!!
Lastly, given the opportunity, I think you will find my attitude and approach excellent. My willingness to accept all challenges, damage and possible carnage excellent. And my willingness to meet new people, make new friends, and work for the greater cause helpful!


text: Not a biography of the famous artist of the Mexican Renaissance but an analysis of his murals and paintings: Readers get a smattering of Rivera's life story with large dollops of art history. The book opens with a description of Mayan murals at Bonampak, then skips to the artist's schooling in Europe before providing in-depth comparisons of his work with art of early Mexico and the Italian Renaissance. With a generous number of full-color reproductions, of both Rivera's work and its influences, this is ripe with information; it suffers only from poor organization and an overly scholarly approach. While many of Goldstein's explications work, some of his interpretations fall flat, as he grasps for an idea that isn't realized or makes a comparison without justifying it. (The equating of Rivera's work with Michelangelo's, for example, seems premature.) The author excels when he cites (rather than interprets) the influences in Rivera's art, chronicled in works by artists as varied as Picasso, Pinturicchio, and Posada, and when he takes readers through the events in Mexican history that are replayed in many of Rivera's paintings.

Rahua Voluminous shampoo & Conditioner
I'd had good results from the original shampoo and conditioner, so was interested when they expanded the collection to include a Voluminous Shampoo and conditioner.
The shampoo (£26) has a light feel and leaves the hair feeling very clean and does create some body/volume. Unfortunately I have very sensitive skin and I found this too drying for my scalp and it made my head feel itchy. It might well be things like the citric juice or eucalyptus that I reacted to, but given my high sensitivities I'm not particularly surprised as I don't have a good success rate with shampoos.
The conditioner (£27.50) has a light weight texture (much lighter than the original) it de-tangles the hair and leaves it soft. Such is the lightness it can also be used as a styling add, using a bit on dry hair to give a nice shine and cut down on the frizz.
For damaged hair such as mine these do not provide enough nourishment nor did I feel like they strengthened the hair. However, though these are not really suitable for me I do think both products deliver on creating volume and bounce to the hair and I also found they made my natural hair colour look a lot brighter.
I bought these from zuneta.com
9 comments:
Thanks for the review - I was considering these.ReplyDelete
I think it might be the lemongrass essential oil that bothered your scalp - it's quite a strong essential oil and I don't think I'd care for it in shampoo. Louise at Get Lippie had a similar issue with Gielly Green shampoo, which also uses Lemongrass.
I like the original Rahua (have just re-purchased that) - think I will stick to that variant!Replies
Hi Grace,Delete
Its very interesting that you say that as I felt a bit itchy after using the GG shampoo. I'm going to have a look through the other shampoos that have caused me problems to see if they had lemongrass in them as well. Thanks for this x
I purchased the travel sizes of these from Zuneta and I do really like them - I was especially impressed by the conditioner as it doesn't sit on the surface but rather my hair absorbs it more and it feels nourished.ReplyDelete
My scalp can be prone to irritation so I'm hesitant about shampoos, but so far this has been okay and I think I will eventually purchase the full-sizes as well as maybe giving the original shampoo a go in the smaller size.Replies
Hi Meeta,Delete
I didn't think to see if they sold travel sizes, I should have thought of that.
I guess I am just overly senstive as it doesn't take much for a product to upset me. I'm trying sans ceuticals at the moment and getting on well with them :)
Interested to hear how you get on with them as I have been eyeing some of the products.Delete
I'd really like to try these! My hair doesn't tend to get too dry so I think they may work for me.ReplyDelete
The bottles look so pretty!
Great review!ReplyDelete
Have you tried the non volume version of the shampoo and conditioner from Rahua? They are my favourite shampoo and conditioner but I just think they are too expensive in the UK so I don't buy them often. I do love the way the conditioner doubles up as a styling cream though which helps get rid of frizz and makes your hair shine like crazy!
Best wishes
Danny x

The Brothers Tsarnaev
The terrorist suspects next door.
Events in Boston were moving so quickly on Friday that it's impossible to draw too many conclusions. But the emergence of Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev as the chief terror suspects who paralyzed a great American city deserves at least some reflection.
One consoling thought is the admirable behavior of the citizens of greater Boston and its law enforcers. The point may seem banal, but it's no small matter that the public largely heeded the government's orders to stay off the streets and take the day off so police could track...

God, as all the scriptures and the Saints have said, is nameless and unknowable. Then how can we know God? The answer is that the Absolute is not knowable, yet makes Himself known by manifesting Himself as Light and Sound Principle. Most religions tell us that the creation began from these primal manifestations.
Now the divine Light and the divine Sound or "Word" (known variously as Naam, Shabd or Nad) may be contacted by rising above physical consciousness. They exist in a latent form in all of us. Our goal must therefore be to develop them and contact them within us. To do this we must, through meditation, learn to withdraw our soul to its seat behind and between the eyes. Having once contacted the inner Light and Sound, we can progress toward their source, passing from plane to plane until we reach God.
This higher consciousness can be had when we transcend into the beyond. We transcend into the beyond when our attention is withdrawn from all outside and from the body below, rises up to the seat of the soul in the body which is at the back of the two eye-brows. When one reaches there it is just as Saint Plutarch says, "When a man is initiated into the mysteries of the beyond the soul has the same experience of leaving the body as it has at the time of death."
It is not a matter of visualization or feelings or of drawing inferences. It is a matter of pure self-analysis: rising above body-consciousness and to know one's self; to realize that this self is the one who is driving, who is enlivening the whole man-body below and who also enables us to know the world outside. So this is the first step that a Master has always given to be taught.
Now if we know our self, that this power – which is all-consciousness – controls ourselves, we realize that we are a drop of the ocean of all-consciousness. The macrocosmos is in the microcosmos. So we have got (several) bodies which enable us to work in different planes. We have got this physical body which we are conscious of. When we rise above it – we have got the astral body to work in the astral plane. Again we have to rise further – we have got the causal body to work in the causal plane. And if we transcend all those three, we rise into the spiritual planes, which are of all-consciousness.
When once the soul experiences the supreme bliss, all attachments of the world fall off by themselves, lose their glamour and charm. The psyche, freed from oblivion, blossoms forth into a new life – the life of the spirit as distinguished from the life of the senses. This is spirituality, this is the true religion, into the mysteries of which only a Saint or a Master-soul initiates a true seeker by unlocking the door leading to the kingdom of God, which is right within us.
The contact of light and sound are the "saving lifelines" within each individual, and the Master who makes this contact with the divine link is called a saviour, a Godman, or a prophet, or just as one may wish to call Him.

One Remarkable Transmitter
Two Decades Ago Engineers Saw No Value in Smart Transmitters, but Today They Have All Finally Accepted the Fully Digital Transmitter and Its Value
Twenty-plus years ago, a lot of smart and experienced instrument engineers saw no value in the new generation of microprocessor-based "smart" transmitters. The premium one paid for a smart device bought you a certain amount of flexibility to rerange your instrument within the bounds of its rated capabilities. To do so, you also had to buy a handheld communicator such as the HART 268 or the Honeywell SFC.
Back in the late 80s, the idea of "configuring" an instrument wasn't really part of our consciousness. You "calibrated" an instrument for a service by applying standards on the test bench in the shop. You turned zero and span screws or trim-pots while observing the 4-20 mA (or even the 3-15 PSI) output. It was frequently an iterative process because diddling one trim pot usually shifted the adjustment you just made at the other end. If you did it enough, you might get pretty good at anticipating how much to over- or undershoot a span or zero adjustment to improve your rate of convergence.
The whole concept of calibration was a bit of a misnomer, since the standard of the day was a dead-weight tester, which either wasn't used, and/or hadn't been sent out for recertification in years, if ever. I remember our techs using a Wallace & Tiernan box somewhere between the size of a briefcase and a carry-on bag. It had an 8-in. or 9-in. circular gauge in it and weighed about 20 pounds. While these "calibrators" were fairly precise when shipped, the abuse they took probably rendered them increasingly less so over the months between repairs. After all that, your DP cell was connected to an orifice meter run that was probably sized in 1968 using a slide rule. You can imagine there wasn't a lot of reverence about precision, or even a belief it was possible.
The smart transmitter and its requisite handheld communicator were understandably not a natural extension of these practices. The W-T gauge boxes of that day didn't have LCD displays or "soft keys." The number of steps and complexity of setting up—configuring—a smart device were viewed as confusing and convoluted compared to simply turning zero and span screws. Some of our suppliers even added zero and span screws to their digital transmitters, because the acceptance of handhelds and soft-keys was becoming a barrier. "If your guys like having zero and span screws, here you go," said the sales person. Transmitter manufacturers were just beginning to figure out characterization of sensors, so often a re-ranged transmitter retained only a fraction of the accuracy and repeatability of the original calibration, so you needed to recalibrate it anyhow if you wanted to preserve the quoted accuracy and repeatability.
But recently, it's as if that whole decade of handheld heartburn never happened. Today, it's as if all trim pots and zero screws have finally fallen off like vestigial tails. Having finally accepted the fully digital transmitter, we've begotten a new generation that can't be separated from their handheld communicators. Now one can sling a NIST-traceable calibration device over his or her shoulder, and carry a wireless laptop or tablet in the other hand.
When a recent start-up called for a calibration check of a DP flow transmitter we only use for a day or two every two to three years, these were my weapons of choice. The Rosemount 3051C DP cell had been calibrated 0 in. to 100 in. at the factory in 1999, and hadn't seen a workbench since. The rusty plug in its upward-facing unused conduit connection was a little disconcerting, but it was still communicating without errors on its segment. What was remarkable was that, after more than a dozen years of rain, snow, ice, sun and temperatures from -15 °F to +105 °F, it was still reading ±0.05 in. of water column or better.
Twenty years ago, we couldn't foresee the remarkable strides that digital technology has made in the accuracy, reliability and stability of today's field devices. It's worth considering what novel technologies we dismiss today that could become extraordinary achievements in the coming decades.

The first services within this portfolio, BrightCloud for Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) and BrightCloud for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), support integration with security solutions from Palo Alto Networks® and Splunk®.
The explosion in both volume and sophistication of web-based attacks has challenged organizations to keep up. Enterprises struggle to maintain current intelligence and determine which security events actually threaten their environment. With big data analytics and automated machine learning from Webroot, enterprises can augment the threat data in their existing network appliances and security management solutions with highly accurate and customized intelligence to gain earlier and more complete insight into potential web-based threats.
Unlike most other threat intelligence solutions, BrightCloud Security Services collect and analyzes threat intelligence across multiple vectors – IP, URL, File and Application – from a massive network of nearly 35 million users protected by Webroot endpoint security solutions and by Webroot technology partners, such as Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, SourceFire, F5, RSA, Aruba Networks, and Microsoft, who have embedded BrightCloud threat intelligence in their security solutions. Webroot correlates this data using the Webroot® Intelligence Network, an innovative cloud-based security analytics platform, to provide actionable real-time threat intelligence with higher accuracy and fewer false positives than other threat intelligence solutions.
"Businesses are struggling to identify and stop new web threats because the rate of change is faster than many current security technologies can keep up with. Either they are too slow to recognize new threats, or they are simply overwhelmed by the amount of data generated," said Mike Malloy, executive vice president of products and strategy at Webroot. "Webroot's BrightCloud Security Services for Enterprise provide truly actionable insight by continuously assessing the risk of incoming IPs based on both their reputation and their relationship to other IPs, malicious URLs, files and apps, and we tailor that intelligence to each customer's unique environment".
Next Generation Threat Intelligence Offerings for PAN and Splunk
As the first two offerings of BrightCloud Security Services for Enterprise, Webroot has introduced solutions for the Palo Alto Networks (PAN) and Splunk platforms.
BrightCloud IP Reputation for Palo Alto Networks enables enterprises to enhance the effectiveness of their PAN next generation firewall appliances by integrating highly-accurate IP reputation data with their PAN firewall to block malicious incoming IPs. The BrightCloud for NGFW service also analyzes inbound IP addresses from the PAN appliance and tailors the threat intelligence it delivers to include IPs that represent a higher probability of a future attack.
BrightCloud IP Reputation Service for Splunk enables enterprises to correlate their network traffic and IP reputation data in their Splunk environment to facilitate early detection of IP related attacks. This enhances the enterprise's investment in their SIEM solution by providing threat intelligence on a global scale, and helps identify and remediate potential security issues before they lead to breaches.
Webroot Presents New Services at Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit
Webroot will be demonstrating the new BrightCloud Security Services for Enterprise and Webroot SecureAnywhere® Business – Endpoint Protection at the Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit on June 23-26, 2014 in National Harbor, Maryland, booth #101. Webroot partner, ThreatStream, will also be presenting their integration of BrightCloud Security Services with their Optic threat intelligence platform within the Webroot booth. In addition, Mike Malloy, Webroot EVP of products and strategy, will present "Traditional Antivirus is dead. What is the Next Generation?" on Tuesday, June 24 at 9:45 a.m. Chip Witt and David Dufour from Webroot, will host a speaking session at the Gartner Summit, entitled "Catch Me If You Can: Using Real-Time Threat Intelligence," that will run Monday, June 23 at 1:35 p.m. in Theatre B, Prince George's C-D. Also, visit the Webroot Hospitality Suite on Tuesday, June 24 for some medieval-themed fun; located in National Harbor 7 from 5:45 p.m. - 8:45 p.m.

Well there doesn't seem to be a thread for this yet, so I thought I should start one.
Hayden was also dropped from the ODI squad, and Gillespie and Kasprowicz from both, all of which are understandable, but Martyn was, prior to the Ashes series, one of the best batsmen in the world, and dominated consistently last year.
His series averages before The Ashes for the previous year were outstanding:
55.50 vs Sri Lanka
50.75 vs Sri Lanka
55.50 vs India
41.50 vs New Zealand
103.33 vs Pakistan
78.33 vs New Zealand
Why does one poor series, in which he had some poor decisions as well, warrant being dropped from the team? Even dropping Hayden would have been a bit of an overreaction given his century in the final game, but dropping the guy who was the most in-form Australian batsmen a couple of months ago and has had four poor tests is simply inexplicable. I don't usually criticise the selectors, but this is surely the worst selection decision in recent memory, from any country.
Anyway, the test and ODI squads:
Test squad: Matthew Hayden, Justin Langer, Ricky Ponting (capt), Brad Hodge, Michael Clarke, Simon Katich, Adam Gilchrist (wk), Shane Watson, Brett Lee, Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath, Shaun Tait, Stuart MacGill.
ODI squad: Adam Gilchrist (wk), Michael Clarke, Ricky Ponting (capt), Damien Martyn, Simon Katich, Michael Hussey, Andrew Symonds, Shane Watson, James Hopes, Brad Hogg, Brett Lee, Glenn McGrath, Nathan Bracken, Shaun Tait.
The good news is that Bracken has been returned to the ODI squad, and Watson to the test squad. Why Katich made the ODI squad ahead of Hodge I have no idea either.

Q&A with Rightfielder David Gomez
Related Links
Off to a 14-10 start and 7-5 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA), the UCSD Baseball team is coming off an impressive homestand in which it took three-of-four from seventh-ranked Cal State L.A. The Tritons now head into a tough stretch where they will play No. 13 Cal State Stanislaus and No. 3 Chico State in each of the next 11 games. Outfielder David Gomez has been a big part of the Tritons' recent success, hitting .351 with 55 total bases (second on the squad) in 23 games. Gomez adds power (second on team in homeruns) and speed (six steals), along with a strong arm. The senior from Orange, Calif. recently took time to discuss life on the baseball team and as a student-athlete at UC San Diego.
Q- How do you feel about the team at this point in the season?
GOMEZ- Right now I am really excited. We just came off that series against Cal State L.A. and took 3-of-4. I think early in the season we may have been doubting ourselves a bit. The L.A. series really showed us how good we are and how good each one of us is. Right now I feel very good about where this team is going.
Q- How has your role changed this year, now that you are a senior?
GOMEZ- It hasn't really changed too much. I am doing the same thing as last year in going out and working hard each day. We do have serveral new guys this year, but it does not seem like they need too much support or leadership. They are doing well and I think anyone on our team can be a leader.
Q- Have the seniors talked to the newcomers about being the defending conference champions?
GOMEZ- We have not really talked about that. We do have the championship banner in our team room which is a reminder. Other than that, we are concentrating on this season. It's a new year and anyone can win it--it's up for grabs. Being the defending champions, it is harder for us because everyone wants to beat the champs.
Q- Several freshmen have contributed this year. Would you like to share any thoughts on them?
GOMEZ- Four or five are starting. A couple guys come to mind. Trevor Decker just comes to the mound and deals. We needed a guy who could do that because we lost a couple guys from last year's bullpen. Our second baseman Garrett Imeson is on a hot streak right now. He is just doing some unbelievable things. There are also quite a few freshmen that are right there on the border of starting. Once they get the opportunity, I am sure they will take advantage of that as well. I am really excited about how the freshmen have stepped up.
Q- Will there be any different approaches this week with No. 13 Cal State Stanislaus and No. 3 Chico State in the upcoming week, along with finals?
GOMEZ- This is probably the most difficult time of the season with finals here and on top of that the top notch competition. Using your time-management skills is just part of being a student-athlete at UCSD. We have not really addressed it being finals week, but throughout the quarter, the coaches are always on us to stay academically healthy. As long as we keep playing the type of baseball that we are capable of playing, we should do well against Stanislaus and Chico. We just come to practice and work hard. When we come to practice, we try to leave our personal lives, school lives, outside of the field. Once we are on that field, we focus on the task at hand... to get better each day.
Q- This year, the CCAA schedule has the teams playing each other four times each. Last year the conference was split with a north and south division, where you play more games within your own division. Which do you prefer?
GOMEZ- I like it like this year's, where we play everyone four times. The way they had it last year, it was more of a trial period... we would play the teams in our division, the south division six times (home and away) and play the north division just four times. I like it where everyone plays each other four times because the strength of teams will not always be the same in the north and south. One team may be of great talent, but not have a great record because the teams are beating each other in the conference. I think playing four times each is more of a fair way to get the four best teams into the conference tournament.
Q- How has the coaching staff helped you since your first season at UCSD?
GOMEZ- The coaching staff has helped me mature and be the best type of player I can be. They have a way of showing to you how to get it done. With Dan (O'Brien) and Chad (Addison) being UCSD graduates, they know what it takes to get it done on the field and in the classroom. The coaching staff here has been the best that I have ever had. I really appreciate their work.
Q- Have you ever wanted to play a different position?
GOMEZ- No, can't say that I have. I realize that being a lefty, it limits me from playing the infield. I like rightfield. It is a challenge out there, especially at our home field. You have the sun to deal with, the ocean breeze blowing out, it's tough, but I like it out there.
Q- How has this week been? A doubleheader in Phoenix, finals in a few days and more games this weekend?
GOMEZ- It's getting tougher. Luckily right now as a senior, I do not have to take all of the classes the younger guys are taking. It's probably tougher on them. I've learned how to deal with it, how to space out my time. The Phoenix trip was fun. We also had time on the plane and at the airport to get our school work done. It hasn't been too rough.
Q- Which pitcher on UCSD's staff are you glad you do not have to face?
GOMEZ- I'm glad that I do not have to face Jose (Navarro). Jose's the guy that just comes after you. He has that nice curve ball that throws many hitters off.
Q- Have you had any thoughts about what you'd like to do after this year?
GOMEZ- Yes and no. I would like to continue playing baseball. I'd also like to start my career after I get my degree in Economics. I am really 50/50 right now. I'll probably play summer ball. There is a good team in Palm Springs. I'd like to give that a shot and go from there. I'd like to play amateur ball, minor league ball, but I will roll with the punches, whatever happens, I will be happy with.
Q- Have any good stories that involve the team this year?
OMEZ- It is a tradition that every year on the first roadtrip, a joke is played on a freshman. On our way to San Bernardino one of our guys took one of the freshmen's jersey out of his bag. When we got there, he was going crazy looking for his jersey. Everyone was playing along with it, even coach O'Brien got in on it, asking where his jersey was. And finally coach just showed him his jersey. It was all a good time. This particular freshman had some good laughs, was a good sport. Everyone had a good time, we like to have a good time with each other. It builds team chemistry and it's good to have that fun time with each other.
Q- Is there alot of baseball experience in your family?
GOMEZ- My dad and grandpa played alot of baseball. My dad did not play too long, but he coached alot. He coached me in little league. It helped me out alot. He showed me the ropes, how to work hard and get the job done. It doesn't matter where you start, it's how you finish. He always emphasized that those who grind throughout the season, wind up on top. Not just in a season, but a career too.
Q- Was it an easy decision in choosing UCSD?
GOMEZ- I went to Irvine Valley College for one year and wanted to stay in Southern California. I was choosing between here and USD. I liked both. The degree from UCSD meant more than from USD. As far as the baseball program, I knew some people on the team and they spoke highly of it. It was a difficult decision, but here at UCSD, I've learned a lot and met many interesting people--people that I'll end up knowing for the rest of my life. I'm glad I chose UCSD.

English Teacher
Hi there!
Could anyone explain the idiomatic expression I once read in a British newspaper;
It was just a flash in the pan;
Guess it means something like it was just a coincidence, a lucky hit or something likely
It it relevant to be used in;
He published a book which sold 10.000 copies ut it was just a flash in the pan.
The origin of this phrase, from The Phrase Finder site.
"It derives from a real flash in a real pan. Flintlock muskets used to have small pans to hold charges of gunpowder. An attempt to fire the musket in which the gunpowder flared up without a bullet being fired was a 'flash in the pan'. The term has been known since the late 17th century".
*NOT A TEACHER* "Panning" was once a popular way of prospecting for gold. (It involved using a shallow metal pan to collect a sample of the material in a stream bed along with a small quantity of water - and then gently rotating and tipping it so as to spill out the lighter materials along with most of the water. This process would sometimes leave small flakes or nuggets of gold in the pan) When the person panning would see a bright reflection or a "flash in the pan" it raised his hopes that it was gold. Sometimes it was, sometimes not. But in either case, at first sight it was a "flash in the pan." Increasingly, the expression has become a figuarative to indicate something which raises high hopes at first sight but fails to materialize.
The explanation JMurray found in Phrase Finder is the one I have always seen. I don't think panning for gold was widespread in England in 1687, when Mr Settle wrote: "If Cannons were so well bred in his Metaphor as only to flash in the Pan, I dare lay an even wager that Mr. Dryden durst venture to Sea." Muskets (and real-life flashes in the pan) had been around for some three centuries then.
I'd have to agree that JMurray has got it right - lock, stock and barrel.
Yes, because actually when you pan for gold, it generally looks black and doesn't glitter until after refining.

The Bay Area has been good to us. Wednesday found us all hanging out together all day; which was really the first time this tour that's happened. We kicked off the day by sleeping in late and eating tofu scramble, them heading to the beach, where we all just relaxed and walked in the sand.
Then it was burritos for all some quality book time at City Lights, and off to Needles & Pens for our San Francisco reading. The audience was warm and welcoming and Neely even scored some sweet death moon earrings.
After some much needed sleep, we all spent the day in Oakland. Some of us spent the day reading by the lake, or getting manicures, or drinking coffee and folding zines. The sun was shining, the air was warm, and we all just spent the day hanging out and soaking in the vitamin D.
We ended the night at the Holdout for our last reading on the tour. We got a tour of the Holdout (a community space with a bookshop, two event spaces, and a community bike workshop and printing studio. It's totally fucking rad, and an awesome place to spend Valentine's day and Mend My Dress Press' official one-year anniversary. Maranda read from Telegram, Osa read from Shotgun Seamstress, and Neely and I read from our Corin Tucker Fanzine Split. A perfect way to end our time in the Bay Area, and now we're looking forward to LA adventures at LA zine fest!

Yves Gautier necesitaba un nuevo diseño de impreso o envases y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 117 diseños de 18 diseñadores freelance.
Published writer. Background in sociology, deep interest in psychology, music, movies. I tried to understand Michael Jackson, using the psychology as a tool. I did a very big work to make it fun an easy to read.
This product is for people daring to understand who Michael Jackson really was. It is more of a portrait /essay. I talk much about childhood, The idea of multiple personnalities too. The most surprising chapter is on Michael Jackson fatherhood. Reading this book, you will, someway, know how it felt to be the King of Pop.
The concept is in the attached JPG file.
Idea : Jackson is driven by the secret forces of his mind.
The actual cover must be seen as the concept : don't use it as it is.
Lighting is key : light at the top, Michael, light at the bottom.
I want you to take this concept and put art in it.
Please use only art, use no real pictures.
I am paranoid about copyright issues.
You will be asked to proove that your work is original.
Use any technique that you want, as long as it is beautiful and within the brief. Surpise me, take some risks.
I want a "pro" look and feel at first sight.
The hand at the top : put Michael's sparkling glove on it.
The light at the top : could be the moon, may be just suggest it.
The strings : silver or golden ?
You can change the posture of Michael, as long as we see at first sight that it is him, and that he has a puppet gesture.
Format :
One A4 format (work on this one)
one "U.S. trade format", that is 6''x9'' (or 15.24 cm x 22.86 cm)
One Banner 320x250 (google ads medium rectangle)
I need a high definition quality, this material will be printed.
Please, dont put any text at first, I want to concentrate on the art work first. Text will be put mid term.
Remember : the cover that you see is just to be taken as the concept.
Be creative, good luck.
Nota : The original concept of this cover was designed by Amir Mor, wich won a previous contest.
