I'm debating working on adoptables in between commissions to gather some funds for bills, would that be something you guys would be interested in?

I've figured out that the reason I struggle doing art recently is because I'm--- hyperfixating on the details and wanting it to be as accurate as possible, which prevents me from being happy with my art in general. So, keeping that in mind, I was wonderin

Not many enthusiasts are aware that OE and more importantly aftermarket sway bar effectiveness can be hindered by worn or inadequate mounts, drop links and lateral stoppers. Whiteline adjustable sway bar links are engineered to be up to the task with top spec, light weight componentry combined with a window of adjustability, eliminating sway bar preload on installation but most importantly ensuring the maximum output of the sway bar for improved grip and better handling.

Sometimes, the media will ask a coach a question following a game and – just like that – it's clear it was the right one.
There were a half-dozen media types in the room when Maryland coach Mark Turgeon emerged following his team's 60-55 victory over Virginia Tech – Maryland's first ACC road win.
"Coach, what did you say at halftime?" one of the reporters asked. That turned out to be the winner because of the response it elicited.
"I said I need men, not pouters," Turgeon said. "I said guys that pout and feel sorry for themselves are going to watch the NCAA tournament. Teams that have men are going to be in it. And at some point we've got to grow up and be men."
Turgeon continued: "They responded. Now, did we totally grow up tonight? I don't know. But (it's a) a step in the right direction."
I liked Turgeon's response not because he was talking tough – coaches do that all the time – but because he seized on something important about his young team.
Turgeon's issue with his team -- which started one senior, one freshman and three sophomores last night – isn't so much that they make mistakes. Everyone does that. Rather, it's that they compound their errors by not playing through them. They grumble to themselves, lose focus, try to atone for their mistakes all at once.
That appears to be what happened after the Terps bolted to an 11-point, first-half lead last night. They went cold and fell into a funk.
How bad was it? After taking a 21-10 lead, the Terps scored one point over the next six-plus minutes. They were colder than the freezing rain that pelted Cassell Coliseum during the game, icing streets and parking lots.
But the Terps persevered. Turgeon, who is still figuring out his rotation, must have gotten his players' attention because Maryland came out on a 14-3 run to open the second half. Maryland didn't trail after that, although the Hokies cut the margin to a single point.
So who were those pouters? Dez Wells conceded he was one. He said he allowed himself to become frustrated with his first-half turnovers. But he was still the floor leader in crunch time.
Wells, by the way, had this to say about Virginia Tech's Erick Green, who scored 29 points: "I've guarded better players."
But Green was pretty good. He scored a combined 57 points in his two games against the Terps this season.

2nd Lt. Daniel Moriarity, 26, entered the military court as a captain, but Judge Lt.-Col. Louis-Vincent D'Auteuil demoted him to the lowest officer command ranking of second lieutenant, saying the once promising military reservist was being groomed as a commanding officer but had abused his power to fulfil his desires.
Moriarity was convicted of two charges of sexual exploitation and one charge each of sexual assault and sexual interference by a military court last October in connection with attacks on a 15-year-old boy at the Lt.-Gen. Ashton Armoury in Victoria and a 16-year-old girl at the Vernon, B.C., army cadet camp.
The court martial heard Moriarity met the girl when she was 13 years old at the Vernon cadet camp, which is attended by hundreds of cadets ranging in age from 12 to 19 years old.
The relationship included sexual intercourse and numerous email and video exchanges.
The court martial heard Moriarity aggressively pursued a relationship with a male cadet at the Victoria armoury. Moriarity's attempts at forming a relationship with the boy started in 2008 and included inappropriate online advances and attempts to touch the boy.
During Moriarity's sentencing, D'Auteuil said the victims are still emotionally dealing with the man's actions.
He said the female victim feels betrayed.
"She put all the trust she could in you and you let her down," D'Auteuil told Moriarity. "You took advantage of a vulnerable young person and you were committing a breach of trust toward her."
D'Auteuil noted the male physically fought off Moriarity to stop his advances.
"Enough was enough," D'Auteuil said.
In a joint submission, military prosecutor Steve Richards and Moriarity's defence lawyer Sarah Collins called for the 12-month sentence, rank demotion and military expulsion.
D'Auteuil said his sentence must reflect respect for the law, maintenance of discipline, protection of the public, denunciation of unlawful conduct and rehabilitation of the offender.
Moments after D'Auteuil delivered his sentence, the defence submitted an application to release Moriarity pending an appeal.
Moriarity was subsequently released and granted 30 days to file an appeal.
D'Auteuil cited reports that found Moriarity a low-to-moderate risk to reoffend.
Moriarity then testified during the release hearing on Wednesday, saying he takes full responsibility for his actions and vowed he would never repeat his actions.
"I just wanted to let your honour know, the court know, I'm very apologetic for what happened," he told the hearing. "I can be a productive member of society. I will do everything in my power to make sure I would never reoffend."
Moriarity said if he was held in custody pending his appeal, "it would drastically affect me immediately. After leaving this room, I would be immediately severed from my family."
He said he is currently living with his father, taking counselling, working part-time and planning to attend college in January, where he is enrolled in a business program.
Moriarity said he is not on duty as a cadet, has no contact with cadet members under 19 and is not in touch with his victims.
Moriarity was deputy commanding officer of the Victoria Signal Armoury Cadet Corps 3005 when he was arrested.
The sentence also means Moriarity will have to submit DNA samples for the National Sex Offender Registry.

The funny thing about being a food writer and cookbook author is that people think since I'm in the kitchen all day long, dinner must be a snap.
The funny thing about being a food writer and cookbook author is that people think since I'm in the kitchen all day long, dinner must be a snap.
Thing is, I'm not always in the kitchen. And when I am, I may be testing appetizers or desserts all day long for something I'm working on. That doesn't get me any closer to dinner than I would be if I worked in an office. In fact, I'm at a greater disadvantage because when my day is over, the last thing I want to do is cook.
But I can't just untie my apron and dash out to dinner any old time I decide I'm tired of being in the kitchen. It's expensive, for one thing, and going out also requires that an effort be made to spruce up one's appearance — because let me tell you, it's not all Food Network gloss and shine in my cramped little kitchen, and I usually emerge at the end of the day looking like I've been to war with the oven (which I usually have, and I have the burn scars to prove it). I'm also likely to be decorated with bits of whatever I've been cooking.
All of that's to say that, just like you, I'm wiped out at the end of the day, and I'm usually trying to figure out what I can make for dinner that will minimize my kitchen time.
I have some super-easy, go-to meals — avocado smashed on toast with a drizzle of pistachio or hazelnut oil; scrambled eggs and chevre in a tortilla, splashed with Valentina sauce; a heap of baby spinach or arugula topped with a poached egg and Parmesan — but even these get a bit boring after a while.
This year, I'm trying to mix it up. Make something new, something different, even when I'm tired and I just want to take off my cowgirl boots and sit in front of the TV and watch "Downton Abbey" reruns.
These recipes, fortunately, do not require servants. Less than a half-hour, almost all of these, from start to finish.
Makes: 4 servings
1 small head of cauliflower, florets removed
About 2 tablespoons olive oil
Sea salt and pepper
1 cup red quinoa
Handful of wild arugula
1 cup (9.25 ounces) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
For arugula pesto:
1 clove garlic, minced
4� ounces wild arugula
1/3 cup walnuts, toasted
� cup olive oil
Sea salt and pepper
Preheat oven to broil and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil. Put cauliflower florets onto cookie sheet, add olive oil, salt and pepper, and toss. Place in oven and cook until florets begin to brown, about 15 minutes, then flip them and brown other sides, about 10 more minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Cook quinoa: Put 2 cups of salted water onto boil, then add quinoa, stir, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Let cook for 10 minutes, then turn off heat and let quinoa absorb the rest of the water. Let cool.
Make arugula pesto: Put garlic, arugula, walnuts, olive oil, salt and pepper in a food processor and pulse till combined.
To assemble the salad, put quinoa in a large bowl and add handful of arugula, beans, roasted cauliflower and a tablespoon or two of pesto. Toss and serve.
Makes: 2 to 4 servings
4 cups/1 quart vegetable or chicken stock
2 cups water
Sea salt and pepper
4� ounces baby spinach
� cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Warm stock and water over medium-high heat, with salt and pepper to taste. When it comes to a simmer, add spinach and Parmesan and let cook until the spinach wilts, 5 to 10 minutes. Slowly add beaten eggs, briskly stirring so they'll be streaky throughout and not cook in clumps. Taste for seasonings and serve right away with more Parmesan.
Makes: 2 servings
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grainy mustard
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Sea salt and pepper
4 to 5 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 chopped steaks, at room temperature
1 to 2 heads of radicchio (depending on the size; I used 1), cut into fourths
2 ounces Roquefort, crumbled
Make the vinaigrette: Put garlic, mustard and vinegar in a jam jar along with a pinch of sea salt and pepper, and give it a shake. After 5 to 10 minutes, add olive oil and shake again. Taste.
Put vegetable oil in a cast-iron skillet, making sure it's evenly coated, and turn the heat to high. Salt and pepper the steaks, then add them to the skillet and cook 2 to 3 minutes each side, depending on how done you like them. Remove steaks and cover with foil.
Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel and add a tiny bit of olive oil — just enough to moisten the bottom. Turn the heat to medium-high. Add radicchio wedges and cook for about 30 seconds on each side.
Put the radicchio on two plates and top with steaks. Drizzle with vinaigrette and sprinkle with Roquefort.
Makes: 4 to 6 servings
1 pound chicken tenders
1 celery stalk, halved
1 carrot, halved
A couple sprigs of parsley
About 10 peppercorns
Olive oil
Half an onion, diced
3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
2 chipotles in adobo, finely chopped
2/3 cup canned corn, rinsed and drained
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14�-ounce) can diced fire-roasted tomatoes
Sea salt and pepper (if needed)
6 to 8 tortillas (corn or flour)
1 avocado, chopped
Handful of chopped cilantro
3 to 4 tablespoons goat cheese, crumbled
2 to 3 limes, cut into wedges
Poach chicken tenders: Put chicken, celery, carrot, parsley and peppercorns in a saucepan. Cover with water, put on the stove over medium-high heat, and cover. When it boils, reduce heat to a simmer and set the timer for 10 minutes. Let the chicken cool in the pot if you have time; if you don't, shred chicken and proceed to the next step.
Drizzle a little olive oil in a large skillet, add onion and garlic and turn heat to medium-low. Cook just until the onion is translucent, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add chipotles, corn and black beans and stir. Add shredded chicken and let mixture cook 10 to 15 minutes. Add tomatoes and let it go for 5 minutes more. Taste and add seasonings if necessary. Serve on warmed tortillas with avocado, cilantro, goat cheese and limes.

Doughoman needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 66 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
A tool used by outdoor event organizers (usually sporting events like baseball leagues) to let participants know the current status of the events via a dial-in telephone call, webpage, email, and smartphone application. The status is usually affected by the weather conditions, hence the name Rain-Out Line.
The buyer of the service will be mostly older males involved in running outdoor sport leagues and tournaments, but the users of the service will be any kid or parent involved in the sporting events which makes for a fairly broad audience. My existing service is called IsItAGo.com and you can see the cheap logo I created for it at that website.
I am looking for this logo to have a somewhat similar theme with the primary design influence being weather conditions (ie sun/storm) but sports (in general) also being a theme. The logo does not need to directly reference any sport, but maybe a font that looks more sports oriented would be a good, subtle relationship with sports. That is not a requirement though so if a sports themed font does not look good it won't be selected.
Please send any further clarification needed to me and I will answer promptly.

Reggini Conquers All
25 July 2010
Rimini Co-Owners Hold On To Victory, Narrows Series Points Gap To Giallongo
July 25, 2010 (Malcesine, Italy) - Despite an early 9:30 start, only one race would be possible on the final day of the inaugural Audi Melges 20 Gold Cup. With the overall victory in the balance, and tight grouping among numerous boats further down the standings, it would be an exciting one.
"Our plan was to take the right side of the first beat, but certainly not the way we did it!" said Reggini tactician Branko Brcin, referring to the 10-boat pileup at the final start that left Reggini at a standstill immediately after the start. "Fortunately, the right turned out to be the place to be," said Brcin. Their epic recovery began with a near-perfect windward leg, and by the top mark, they passed most the fleet, rounding in 10th place.
Value Team helmsman Francesco Scarselli had a much better start, though tactician Chicco Fonda chose the left side of the first leg - a choice which would prove disastrous. "I thought there was something over there, and on the first leg, I was wrong," he said. By the top mark, Value Team had fallen back to 17th position. "We kept it positive and had an incredible downwind run, and by the bottom, we'd caught Farneti," said owner Benedetto Giallongo. Fonda wanted to cross behind Farneti and continue to the right side of the lake, though Scarselli instead chose to gybe close to Reggini, who took advantage of the situation and forced Value Team into a foul. "We had an unfortunate misunderstanding on our boat, and the resulting penalty turn meant that we had to once again come back from a big deficit," said Fonda. In the end, despite a brilliant second beat Value Team didn't have enough race course to catch and pass Farneti.
Principal Race Officer Fabio Barrasso sent the teams to shore after patiently waiting for the wind to stabilize, though it never would. Sailors filled the Fraglia Vela Malcesine restaurant, patiently waiting for an Ora wind that would arrive far later than usual, and too late for the event's rules. "With a strong North-flowing current and a very weak and spotty wind from the North, I could not find a way to set a fair course, before the wind shut off," said Barrasso, who hoisted the signal abandoning racing promptly at 1430 to the crowd's cheers. The sailors then turned their attention on the winning crew, gently urging them into the chilly waters of Lake Garda in celebration. "We're very happy for Francesco and Andrea," said Giallongo as he watched the traditional dousing. "They worked very hard, they deserve their win, and we look forward to a rematch in Rimini." After 23 races in the 2010 Audi Sailing Series, Giallongo leads Farneti/Musone by just 9 points going into the final event. "We're going home, and we can't wait to sail the last event there," said Farneti. When asked whether the venue would provide an advantage for his team over Giallongo and Domenici, he said nothing - but he smiled.
A long delay to resolve a protest gave sailors time to haul and pack up their Audi Melges 20s and enjoy the hospitality of the FVM's staff, and by 5 PM, the protest was decided against Luca Domenici and Team Notaro, who were disqualified from the final race for a mark rounding incident, dropping them one position to fourth place overall, and allowing Sei Tu 20 a chance to sneak into fifth place on countback, tied on points with America's Michael Kiss. "Disappointed? No way!" said Kiss after being incorrectly awarded a trophy that he knew he'd just missed out on. "I bought a boat for Italy because I love everything about this place, even if it means I don't take home any silverware."
Sei Tu 20 tactician Flavio Favini seemed far more happy to have sailed with son Luca than he was with any trophy, as his high-profile racing career rarely allows such a treat. "I love sailing with my dad," Luca said.
The International Audi Melges 20 Class offers deep thanks to the Fraglia Vela Malcesine and all its volunteers and staff, Audi and all the event sponsors, and the international media for its attendance and strong interest. "We are gracious to have such good support from so many sources, but especially, our owners and crews," said International Class Vice Chairman (Europe) Giallongo. "We also invite everyone to visit the Melges Europe Facebook Page to see the hundreds of photos posted there, and we encourage all our sailors and their friends to tag the pictures so everyone can see them.
Three more impeccable events are forthcoming for the Audi Melges 20 - 2010 U.S. Nationals Championship (August 27-29 in Macatawa, Mich.), the final Audi Sailing Series Circuit event in Rimini (September 11-12). The fleet will also participate at Oktoberfest on September 24-26 on Lake Starnberg, Germany.

The latest literary mystery swirling through Washington these days doesn't concern the characters of a bestselling thriller. Instead, it concerns an author. Namely, who is he – or she?
"O, A Presidential Novel," a fictional account of the upcoming 2012 presidential campaign starring none other than Barck Obama himself, will hit bookshelves next Tuesday. But publisher Simon & Schuster has kept the author of the book a secret, plunging much of Washington into a literary parlor game of sorts.
7 history books worth checking out in the new year
Speculation as to the author's identity has produced a few hints – Simon & Schuster identifies the author as someone who "has been in the room with
Barack Obama and wishes to remain anonymous."
Based on the sneak peek CNN's Political Unit received, "Whoever wrote the book is well-versed in the tactical minutia of presidential campaigns and the behind-the-scenes maneuvering of the press corps that covers them."
One more hint: It's not who you think it is. Last week, Ben Smith of Politico wrung denials from the usual suspects. Senior adviser David Axelrod, former White House social secretary Desiree Rogers, and former White House communications director, Anita Dunn, have all denied writing the book.
Though the publisher recently asked journalists and other would-be writers to decline to comment if asked if they wrote the book, lackluster reviews have spurred a torrent of denials.
"I didn't write it," said Joe Klein, to a New York Times reporter. "But if I had written it, I would be saying I didn't write it," continued the author of "Primary Colors," the 1996 political novel that traced the presidential campaign of fictional president Jack Stanton (Bill Clinton). Klein had published the book anonymously but was eventually forced by the Washington Post to out himself.
"Sounds like 'O' is crap," tweeted Jacob Weisberg, the editor in chief of the Slate Group, who also wrote "The Bush Tragedy." "I didn't write it after all."
The 353-page novel starts in the spring of 2011 and follows an African-American president through a turbulent 2012 re-election campaign. Major characters include thinly-veiled replicas of White House insiders, including an overworked Avi Samuelson (David Axelrod), a flamboyant Bianca Stefani (Arianna Huffington), Maddy Cohen, a reporter for the uber-popular political blog "Body Politic" (Politico), as well as a number of GOP operatives.
As "O" nears its Tuesday release, speculation has hit a fevered pitch. Perhaps it was an Obama campaign insider? A former member of the White House staff? Or a consortium of political reporters? The guessing game is clearly one part of Simon & Schuster's contrived marketing campaign that has whipped what appears to be an uninspired, unconvincing novel into the talk of the town in Washington – and now the guessing game extends far beyond the Beltway.
The Guardian ruled out "Rahm Emanuel (... a little busy running for mayor of Chicago), David Plouffe (has enough on his plate as Obama's new senior adviser) and the TV comedian Stephen Colbert (the book is not funny enough to have been by him)." USA Today voted for soon-to-depart press secretary Robert Gibbs or John McCain's speechwriter Mark Salter. The Toronto Star suggested journalist George Stephanopoulos, journalist and former Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal, and Doonesbury cartoonist Garry Trudeau.
But Jack Cashill of the American Thinker blog is convinced he's got the golden ticket.
"About 15 minutes of literary detective work leads me to a likely suspect," he writes. "My suspect served as a diplomat with the US Department of State for 23 years, but left government employ a few years back in order to devote full-time to his writing. He has written three novels. His name is James Bruno."
Simon & Schuster, of course, remains tight-lipped.
One more hint: "O" is dedicated, "For K and R," and later, in the acknowledgements: "Finally, for their generous friendship, I want to thank K and R, to whom this book is affectionately dedicated."
Who do you think the mystery author is?
Husna Haq is a Monitor correspondent.

Difference between revisions of "Lagos (Portugal)"
Revision as of 12:28, 26 November 2009
Lagos (pronounced Lagosh) is a city in the Algarve, in the south of Portugal.
Get in
To get to Lagos from Faro – to where many fly in from all over Europe - you take the A22 and it's about 1 hour drive (rather fast). You also can take the 125 west, the older road, that takes you through about half of the western Algarve. The 125 brings you closer to some of the interesting towns and villages of the Western Algarve. These include Albufeira, Carvoeiro, Ferragudo, Porches – with the famous Porches Pottery -, Alvor,Praia da Rocha, and then Lagos.
From Sagres (pronounced Sagresh) almost the most Western point in the Algarve you take the the 125 east and drive through Salema, Burgau and Luz (pronounced Loosh). These small towns are beach communities the are undergoing massive construction to house retirees from the UK and Germany and to a lesser extent from the rest of Europe. English is very common although the number of Americans is small. The drive takes about 30 minutes at reasonable speed.
The nearest Airport is Faro(Fao), about 75km from Lagos. Ana Airports Faro Airport Transfers
To get to Lagos by train from Lisboa, take the train to Faro and get off in Tunes, a few stops before Faro. Then take the train to Lagos. The schedules are timed so that you only have to wait a few minutes.
Transportation from Faro Airport
Get around
Lagos is a small city;you can pretty much walk everywhere. There is a bus and a train station to take you to other cities(Silves,Faro) and taxis are abundant. Walk to the beautiful sandy golden beaches.
Car Hire
Lagos Car Hire Booking engine queries major Lagos car rental suppliers to show you all available options for the best Lagos car hire experience. We compare all rates and discounts in an all-in-one detailed and comprehensive list of Lagos car rental deals. Algarve Car Hire in Portugal
There is a great variety of things to see:
Beaches vary in shape and style from long sandy beaches to almost private ones hidden by cliffs.
The beaches are great for exploration. Beaches outside of town are long desolate stretches of sand with tall cliffs that are excellent for privacy. Many sea caves can be explored during low tide.
Walking along Estr. da Ponta da Piedade a few hundred meters before the lighthouse, (after passing a café and Camila beach on your left), find a concrete fencepost on your right decorated with a spray painted eye, mouth, and two teeth. Enter the path it marks, which will take you to the edge of the cliff. A bit north (to your right) there is a cove accessible only by boat or by a rather narrow hidden mud slope with a rope pegged to the top. There are a number of beautiful, although perhaps dangerous, walks along the top of the cliffs.
Rent sea kayaks - may only be available in the summer
Boat tours of the grottos - leave from the harbor for 10 Euros / person
There is also the Praia da Batata in Lagos (right across the main road) which is absolutely beautiful.
You can go on a motorbike and sidecar tour with Sidecar Experience; a breathtaking way to take in the wonderful scenery of South West Portugal.
Southern Portugal is famous for its ceramics, and Lagos won't let you down. Ceramic dishes and tiles of all price ranges, styles, and colors are available. Some stores don't provide boxes for your goods, only newspaper wrapping, so ask before you buy, if it matters to you.
There is sometimes a small fair in front of the church near the harbor where unique clothing can be bought.
There are some wonderful family run operations in Lagos. Many of the restaurants are starving for business in the off peak time and will go way out of their way to make your visit to their restaurant a pleasurable experience.
Lagos bars are quite fun, catering to the young back-packing crowds. Often one can find a Brit or American helping to serve drinks (for a little under the table wage).
There is a large youth hostel in the centre of the city. However if you arrive in Lagos by bus there will usually be people there asking if you need accommodation. These are generally cheap and small, and a great option.
There is a campsite near where the N125 crosses Estr. da Ponta da Piedade

Presentation of 2015 Michelin Guide for Spain & Portugal in Marbella. On 19 November this important Gourmet Guide was presented – for the first time in Andalusia – at the Los Monteros Hotel Marbella in the presence of about 300 guests, also featuring some of Andalusia´s and especially Marbella´s famous star-studded chefs like Dani García (with a staggering two stars and his Restaurant in the Hotel Puente Romano), Jaume Puigdengolas (SKINA, Marbella Old Town) and Diego del Río (EL LAGO, Elviria Hills) as well as José Carlos García from Málaga and Ángel León from Cádiz (Restaurante APONIENTE).
Actually, there was a hard competition for this event and it appears that next year it will be held in the North of Spain, Galicia to be precise (Santiago de Compostela).
For quite some time Spain has been famous for the amount of excellent inventive chefs, seven of them already receiving and maintaining a stunning number of three of the coveted stars. As they say, the question is not to be awarded a star, but to keep it which is a not easy quest.
Sadly, only one more star was awarded to an Andalusian chef this time, and it went to Cadiz, being the second one for Ángel León.
Needless to mention the amount of exquisite restaurants all over the Marbella area where you can relish all kinds of incredible food in the most beautiful surroundings, enjoying not only the wonderful climate, but the atmosphere of this most Southern part of Spain. And, quoting the owner of the SKINA Restaurant, Marbella Old Town, Marcos Granda "Marbella is right now the gastronomical capital of Andalusia, not only thanks to the restaurants with a Michelin star, but also due to the amount of people doing their job well. Marbella will always be Marbella – go out and you can see the difference".

New Bern ArtWorks Fine Art Gallery will present �No Boundaries Vessel� exhibit, on view from Sept.13 through Oct. 31.
New Bern ArtWorks Fine Art Gallery will present �No Boundaries Vessel� exhibit, on view from Sept.13 through Oct. 31.
A reception will be held on Sept. 13 from 5 to 8 p.m. during the downtown New Bern ArtWalk.
A mix of functional, beautiful, outlandish and conceptual vessels will be on display and for sale during the show.
The gallery has gathered a group of regional potters, sculptors and ceramic artists who have combined to produce a colorful and interesting array of vessels. The show is touted to stretch the imagination in terms of the boundaries of �the vessel.�
The great Pablo Picasso once said, �The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider�s web.�
The gallery provided this definition of a vessel: �hollow or concave utensil, as a cup, bowl, pitcher, or vase used as a container; a craft designed to navigate on the water; a duct, canal or other tube that contains or conveys a body of fluid in an animal or plant; a person as a container of qualities or feelings.�
The show is designed to entertain and pays homage to the wonderful place �vessels� play in history and culture. The vessel has over time given clues about the habits of our ancestors and today is symbolic of sharing family time together, the sustenance of life, as well as the hunger that many face today.
New Bern ArtWorks & Company is located at 323 Pollock Street and is open 1 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday; and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays.
Call 634-9002.

yesterday I had some trouble after releasing my Diablo V1. Releasing worked as expected, but when trying to reasamble, the flagline/safetyline wouldn't fit through the hole at the QR/Chickenloop.
Only with very very brute force I managed to pull it back trough the hole. Luckily I wasn't in the water and the kite was safe, I think it's impossible to do that in the water.
For clarification I took measurements and two pictures. The knot that needs to pass trough the hole at the QR/Chickenloop measures 10mm, but to hole is only 5-6mm (little green arrow).
Has anyone else had trouble with this and is there a solution?
Using a thinner line is problematic, because than it might slip through the red ball.

All Australian states and territories have signed a broad agreement on the national disability insurance scheme.
Speaking after the Council of Australian Governments meeting in Canberra on Friday, Prime Minister Julia Gillard said she also had reached individual agreements with Victoria, NSW, the ACT, South Australia and Tasmania on launch sites for the NDIS.
However, Queensland and Western Australia had only signed a broader agreement.
"This agreement means even those places not participating in launch arrangements will learn from the launch arrangements so this will be shared work," Ms Gillard said.
There was also agreement on electricity prices that would save families up to $250 a year, Ms Gillard said.
This will address the gold plating of the system and over-investment in poles and wires, while giving a voice to consumer on the systems design options and choices.
Big users will be able to moderate the power loads they put on the system during peak times and there will be an empowered regulator to deal with the new rules.
"This is a big issue for Australian families and for Australian businesses," Ms Gillard said.
"People have seen a rapid escalation in their power prices and that has put a lot of pressure on peoples' cost of living."
Ms Gillard said schools reform was discussed by state education ministers and more work would follow at the next COAG meeting in 2013.
An agreement was made to release a 10-year roadmap for mental health, an "important area of health care for the community".
The issue of royal succession was also on the agenda, a timely subject given news this week that Catherine Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, is pregnant.
Ms Gillard said the states had agreed to co-operate on arrangements ensuring that men would not be given preference over women in terms of who becomes the future monarch.
Removing an embargo on royal family members marrying a Catholic or converting to that religion was also discussed, she said.
South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill said his state's NDIS launch will be based on a children's model, from birth to age 14.
This will be phased in over three years from 2013, with the South Australian government contributing $20 million.
ACT Chief Minister Katy Gallagher says 5000 people with disabilities would benefit from the territory being a launch site of the national disability insurance scheme (NDIS).
The leaders also discussed the royal commission into child sexual abuse and its proposed terms of reference.
Ms Gillard said the federal government would bear the cost of the inquiry but the states and territories would offer in-kind support.
"We will continue that work and issue the terms of reference before the year is out," the prime minister said.
"We do want to start what will be an important royal commission for healing for members of our community and an important royal commission to learn lessons for the future."
The premiers and chief ministers were considering issuing letters patent, a legal instrument which would create the maximum legal power and backdrop for the royal commission to undertake its work, the prime minister said.
"What that means is the powers of the federal government can be bolstered by the powers of state governments, the legal powers for the royal commission's work."
State and territory expertise from past inquiries into child sex abuse would be shared with Canberra.
Victorian Premier Ted Baillieu wouldn't be drawn on when his state will agree to a funding agreement for the NDIS.
Instead, he said he was "very pleased" to have formally signed on to the launch.
"I do note that what we have signed, and all our signatures (are) on it, doesn't actually refer to anything other than `an agreement'," Mr Baillieu told reporters.
"It's an interesting piece of paper which we just signed."
Victoria will continue to work with the commonwealth with a view to establishing a sustainable model for the NDIS, he added.
Ms Gillard said there was some discussion about GST in the meeting.
"(But) the federal government will not be changing the rate or the base of the GST," she said.
She said there has been a taskforce that has looked at the $1000 GST threshold on online goods, and it will hand down its final report in 2013.
Assistant Treasurer David Bradbury has already said that changing current arrangements would outweigh any revenue that would be gained, she said.
Ms Gillard said they also discussed construction costs.
She said the federal government was prepared to have a nationwide inquiry into construction costs, but there was some dispute who would make up the panel.
Victorian Premier Ted Baillieu, who has been a driving force behind the inquiry, said a review was supported by a majority of states and jurisdictions.
"We are committed to it," Mr Baillieu said.
"There is a stumbling block, it involved the panel members ... it would seem that the commonwealth and one jurisdiction do not wish to proceed unless their nominee is agreed."

NM House committee again blocks driver's license bill favored by governor
By: Milan Simonich
Texas-New Mexico Newspapers
SANTA FE — Democrats on the House labor committee on Tuesday night blocked another bill that would repeal the 2003 law allowing illegal immigrants to obtain New Mexico driver's licenses.
The vote was 5-4 along party lines. The sponsor, Republican Rep. Paul Pacheco of Albuquerque, said afterward he did not know if he would appeal to the full House of Representatives to hear his license bill.
Pacheco said he considered it unfair that one committee could "hold a bill hostage." He said 37 of the 70 members of the House of Representatives had signed onto his bill, which he called a compromise.
But Rep. Rick Miera, D-Albuquerque, said he pored over Pacheco's bill but could not find any compromise at all. Neither did the Catholic bishops of New Mexico. They called for a compromise proposal this winter, but sent a spokesman to oppose Pacheco's bill as one that did not fit the description.
Pacheco said his latest bill was indeed a compromise because it would allow one group of immigrants with lawful presence in the country — classified as those on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals — to receive temporary New Mexico licenses.
But Elsa Lopez, of the immigrant group Somos Un Pueblo Unido, said that the bill actually was "a step back" from Pacheco's initial measure in that it was more restrictive.
Proponents of the existing licensing law testified that immigrants contribute mightily to the state economy, working on farms and in oil fields.
They said granting immigrants licenses improves public safety because they must pass driving tests and are listed in police databases.
Rep. Candy Spence Ezzell, R-Roswell, cited an Albuquerque Journal poll that showed about three of four people oppose licenses for illegal immigrants. She said the public wants an up-or-down vote on the licensing bill, not endless committee debates.
House Speaker Ken Martinez said the poll was tilted based on the way the question was asked.
Martinez said he did not believe Democrats and Republicans on the committee were far apart in reaching an agreement on a licensing bill. But Martinez, like all the Democrats on the committee, eventually voted to table Pacheco's bill.
Gov. Susana Martinez, a Republican, campaigned in 2010 on repealing the licensing law. Pacheco's bill was the latest attempt at getting through the legislation she wants.
A companion bill to Pacheco's has been introduced in the state Senate. It has not been heard yet.
Another bill, by Sen. Pete Campos, D-Las Vegas, would allow illegal immigrants to continue driving. But they would receive privilege cards, not regular licenses that also could be used as government-issued identification.
If Pacheco tries to revive his bill, he would have less than three weeks to get it through the House and the Senate. The legislative session ends March 16.

High Angular Resolution Monolithic Optical and Near-infrared Integral field spectrograph
HARMONI, or the High Angular Resolution Monolithic Optical and Near-infrared Integral field spectrograph, is one of the first-light instruments installed on the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) and will function as the telescope's workhorse instrument for spectroscopy in the wavelength range 0.47–2.45 µm. This versatile instrument will offer a set of spatial scales to optimise observations for a wide range of science programmes and observing conditions. In particular, HARMONI will be optimised to exploit the best image quality delivered from a post-focal laser tomographic adaptive optics module.
HARMONI is an integral field spectrograph, which can operate in a number of different ways. The design of the instrument is such that it will be easy to calibrate and operate, providing the ELT with a "point-and-shoot" spectroscopic instrument.
Thanks to the enormous 39-metre main mirror of the ELT, HARMONI will be used to explore galaxies in the early Universe, study the constituents of the local Universe and and characterise exoplanets in great detail. In many ways, it will be complementary to ALMA and the James Webb Space Telescope. HARMONI follows in the footsteps of the innovative second-generation VLT instruments like MUSE and SPHERE on the VLT.
The picture above shows a sectional view of HARMONI and its
This table lists the global capabilities of the instrument. The authoritative technical specifications as offered for astronomical observations are available from the Science Operation page.

Information on these birds can be viewed at http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/natres/06516.html. You must first identify the species that is damaging your home. The cause for their destruction can be mating/territorial banging, building a home, excavating carpenter bee larvae or just inspecting.
In my 30 years of pest control I have never found the woodpeckers to be damaging a wall for termites or carpenter ants deep in the house. Carpenter bees that are in the soffits or rake boards will be dug out by the woodpeckers, leaving horizontal openings in the wood from 1" to 8" long.
The pest control professional looks at the situation to determine if fixing the carpenter bee problem is the answer or to place visual deterrents in that area. These birds are federally protected and unless the state determines they must be put down due to extensive home damage they may not be touched. I have found no repellant sprays to be effective on these birds.

Hello all,
New to the site, and glad to be here. Moved from Seattle, WA to Slidell, LA a couple of years ago to be close to my 2 oldest children, who moved near here with my ex-wife.
I recently (past couple of years) quit using the term agnostic to describe myself, and truly identify with atheism. Problem is, I live in a place where EXTREME right-wing religious ignorant conservatism rule the day, and don't allow for any other thinking. It is a depressing place, and I've tried a couple of times to find local groups who meet up, but the nearest seems to be in New Orleans, which is difficult for me to get to with my work schedule & toddler at home.
Fortunately, my wife is atheist as well, which makes life tolerable. I've found that as I've gotten older, I've become less & less tolerant of the oppressive religous conservatism around me. I feel that it is force-fed to us on a daily basis in so many insidious ways, poisoning our kids and co-opting our (originally) secular government.
I also work for said government, and am surrounded in the workplace by racist, intolerant religious zealotry, which is hard to swallow without comment much of the time. I find myself ranting & venting about the craziness to my poor wife sometimes, who is the only person I can really talk to about it.
I'd LOVE to see an atheist/secular-humanist/non-theist-based support/social group form around here, and I'm increasingly thinking that it'll have to be me who does it.
Anyway, off the soapbox for the moment... ;)
Views: 289
Well Welcome to A/N! I feel your pain, we're in NC ourselves, the latest state to embrace the 'stupid' in the form of an amendment to the state constitution, this is pretty much our outlet as well. We don't do the group thing either because all the groups are about 35 minutes to an hour away from us and well... truthfully we're a tad anti-social, damn interwebz....
Thanks, Tammy. Yeah, NC has voted the insanity party into power, obviously. My wife is much more zen about this stuff than I am - I guess I just need to vent more than she does! :)
I think they're gonna have to cut a few extra vents in me before the crazies are done with this state, or my head is going to explode and make a mess everywhere!
Hang in there, Tammy.
I'm in the Bible Belt as well, and while it can be frustrating (though I do get a laugh out of driving by roadside tent revivals from time to time) I think that if you do put out a few local feelers you'll find that there are more folks sharing your mindset than you might think.
Who knows. Maybe you'll serve as a beacon of hope for fellow folks like yourself that also think they're alone in a see of superstitious dogma.

In 2005, the Norwegian government initiated sweeping welfare reforms. One of the largest involved the US$500-million program to transform how Norway administers its pension benefits. With the number of retirees in Norway projected to double by 2050, this was a critical objective.
Hampered by old technology and a paper-based organization, the existing pension system was struggling to keep pace with current applications, leaving Norwegians unable to adequately plan for retirement. To address this situation, the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV) established a pension program in 2006 to drive through the transformation needed to implement a sustainable pension system for future generations.
Collaborating with Accenture as its strategic partner, NAV successfully launched its groundbreaking new pensions system—on time and on budget—in July 2011. This end-to-end transformation of pensions administration sets a new standard in how to implement new reforms, demonstrating the power of innovative solutions to help public agencies do more with less.
Norway's pension reform sets a new global standard with two firsts. As well as being the only country to provide its citizens with an integrated view of their total public and private pension benefits, the Norwegian system became the first to enable an end-to-end automated process for gathering user information, calculating benefits and enabling payment transactions – all in just a few seconds.
As Norway's largest welfare reform since the introduction of national insurance in 1967, the pension reform program created wide-ranging challenges. As well as lowering the minimum retirement age from 67 to 62 and extending eligibility for retirement benefits, the new system introduced complex new rules enabling Norwegians to gradually reduce the amount they work and phase in pension benefits. They could also choose to work full time—at the same time as receiving pension benefits.
With the proportion of pensioners in the population rising rapidly and an inefficient legacy system in place, NAV was under pressure to achieve rapid results. The priority was to re-invent pensions administration from claim to payment by using world-class technology to automate and accelerate the paper-based pension application process. The massive undertaking—the largest European service-oriented IT program at its inception—faced several daunting hurdles:
Combining 290 services and more than 30 application components, transforming outdated legacy systems, case processing, and the pension organization itself into a centralized spine supporting the self-service portal.
Compiling and converting 125 million records dating from the 1960s to calculate each citizen's pension, and building central registries to collect and store data.
Ramping up from zero to 100 developers in months; implementing 160 screens, 114 batch programs and more than 6,000 pension rules for the rules engine.
Completing 115,000 tests in 35 parallel environments.
To carry out the pension reforms and ultimately achieve high performance, in 2006 NAV selected Accenture as the pension program's primary contractor and cooperation partner. Building on a strong, years-old relationship between the two organizations, Accenture assumed responsibility for all aspects of program management and implementation—from design, through testing and integration to change management and deployment.
Accenture was chosen for its global resources and breadth of skills in business process reengineering, technology architecture, program management, change management, learning programs—as well as for its strong track record in end-to-end delivery of large, complex environments that deliver measurable results.
Working as NAV's cooperation partner, Accenture was responsible for the full scope of delivering changes to the pension program. As well as developing and overseeing the five-year deployment plan, Accenture drew on its proprietary Delivery Methods methodology and leading practices from other pension administration engagements to ensure the success of this vital initiative.
Over five years, NAV invested US$500 million to launch a new system by the mandated deadline wherein users can apply for benefits online with just two clicks. A simple, flexible self-service portal is at the heart of the new multichannel, customer-centric strategy. To enable Norwegians to make informed pension decisions, this one-stop portal—www.nav.no—has been fully integrated with private pension providers, centralized case handling, fully automated pension administration processes and a national call center solution.
NAV and Accenture achieved success by focusing on five priority areas:
Implemented information technology solutions through a new pension portal linked to a new, back-end, centralized service-oriented architecture case-handling system.
Revamped and automated all pension-administration processes.
Established five national production centers that centralize case work.
Set up a new self-service solution and developed benefits guidance information for citizens that is delivered through 465 municipal offices.
Set up a national call center to enhance customer service, alleviate extra workload on local units, centralize competence and optimize case-handling processes.
These initiatives were accompanied with extensive skill training, learning and change management efforts. The final phase of the program rolled out all initiatives based on the new regulations. This was supported by a nationwide public awareness campaign to convince a hesitant population of older citizens to adopt online self-service.
With Accenture as its strategic partner, NAV successfully transformed its administration organization, processes and IT systems. As a result, the new pension system was launched on deadline—and on budget—in July 2011.
The establishment of the five production centers streamlined the case-handling function and concentrated case-handling knowledge. Case managers now access one, modern centralized system instead of numerous legacy systems, greatly improving case-handling quality and efficiency. As a result, managers can take on more cases per day and spend more time with individuals at NAV offices. The rationalization and redesign of business processes also contributed to improved efficiency.
The launch of the pension portal on www.nav.no (called Din pension, "Your pension" in Norwegian) gives citizens a pension self-service solution and automates application processing. Pension applications used to take about three months to process by post; today, it takes minutes when submitted electronically. However, the portal goes beyond application processing. It also represents a comprehensive "one-stop" tool that Norwegians can use throughout their lives to plan their pension timeline and benefits.
Overall, the benefits of NAV's new pension program are dramatic and far-reaching, helping Norway achieve its overarching goal of "doing more with less."
These benefits include:
Better service and increased flexibility for retirees: In spite of rising demand and increased complexity, automation allows NAV to process more benefits at the same cost.
Broad user adoption of self-service: Forty percent of all pension claims are now submitted online and an additional 26 percent are assisted by case workers using the self-service portal to enter applications on behalf of Norwegian citizens. Since 2010, an average 17,000 Norwegians have logged on each week and a recent public survey confirmed that more people are choosing pension assistance online.
Faster application processing: Instead of taking three months to manually process a claim, two-thirds of applications submitted electronically are processed in just seconds. Forty-four percent of all new applications using self-service are now being processed electronically – the highest level of self-service and automation ever achieved within NAV.
Improved quality and efficiency: By deploying a centralized IT backbone with fully integrated pension processes, NAV now has accurate, up-to-date data, while reducing errors, streamlining work and increasing productivity.
Better information and advice for pension planning: The new simulation tool lets citizens make more informed choices, while the new specialized pension call center gives users direct access to dedicated pension experts.

The holly genus, Ilex, offers a variety of plants from which to choose.
The holly genus, Ilex, offers a variety of plants from which to choose.
There are about 700 species worldwide, some horticulturists estimate. And there is a great number of cultivated varieties.
Not all hollies have spiny leaves. Many of the Japanese hollies (Ilex crenata) have spineless leaves. They are often mistaken for boxwoods with their small, shiny leaves. But boxwoods (Buxus) leaves are attached directly opposite one another on the stem, while holly leaves have an alternate leaf arrangement along the stem.
Holly plants range from 2 to more than 60 feet tall. Some dwarf types are great choices for foundation plantings. These include Helleri holly, Carissa holly, Dwarf yaupon holly and Stokes dwarf, thought to be the same cultivar as Shilling dwarf.
Don�t let the word dwarf fool you. Many hollies in this category may reach 3 to 5 feet tall. And Dwarf Burford may grow 8 feet or taller.
Some �tree form� hollies can reach heights approaching 60 feet. These can stand alone as specimen plants or may provide a tall hedge. A few hollies that form large shrubs or small trees include many of the American holly cultivars such as Miss Helen, Hedgeholly and Savannah.
Hollies respond well to pruning if needed, but it�s best to know the mature height before planting to avoid future problems of overgrown plants and unnecessary pruning.
Other tree-form holly hybrids develop by crossing two or more plant species within a given genus. A few include Foster, East Palatka, Nellie R. Stevens and Mary Nell.
Hollies with multicolored leaves include variegated English holly. And there are a few hollies that shed annually such as Ambiguous winterberry and Possumhaw holly. There are hollies that produce bright red berries. But berry color varies from red, orange and yellow to even black or white, depending on variety.
Only female plants produce berries. Hollies are dioecious, meaning male and female flowers are located on separate plants. Male flowers produce pollen required, in most cases, to pollinate female flowers.
Many dwarf types of holly don�t produce berries because they come from male plants. To ensure that your plants produce berries, ask for female plants when purchasing. If the plant already has berries on it, you know it is a female.
You should consider other characteristics when selecting hollies. There are weeping forms available such as the weeping yaupon holly. There are those that have a very narrow, upright habit such as the cultivar �Will Fleming.�
Hollies are not foolproof. They may attract pests and must be planted and cared for properly.
However, for the most part, this group of plants has much to offer. Once established, they require little care and have very good drought tolerance.

There's a chance former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich would have gone to Roots Handmade Pizza in Ukrainian Village Wednesday to watch the Dallas Cowboys-New York Giants game on NBC, you know, if not for the fact that he's serving a 14-year sentence on a corruption conviction.
Blagojevich visited Roots to watch Cowboys games four to five times last season. I'm told he would sit in the private dining room with just his small group – usually consisting of his daughter, a friend or two and his bodyguard – and ordered pitcher after pitcher of Diet Pepsi. Apparently staff would drop off a pitcher and it would be empty two minutes later.
Blagojevich was said to be "upbeat and jovial" (even though the Cowboys finished with a very average 8-8 record that season and missed the playoffs) and would frequently talk to other customers he'd run into in the hallway about anything.

The Lord of the Rings - Volume One
On this website you'll find a mixture of my mountaineering experiences, adventures, and belief in life. While I love backpacking, I am also a compulsive day hiker, and peak bagger. I'm up for any kind of hiking and think it's a great way to get outside, give yourself a break from your worldly troubles, and get some natural exercise.
My hopes for the website are twofold. One, that it can act as a quick reference tool for novices and experienced hikers alike and a compilation of tips and advice on trip planning, lightweight backpacking techniques and improving your wilderness skill set. And two; that by browsing through some of the photo galleries and my blogs, at least a few people out there may be encouraged to put on a pair of comfortable shoes, grab a backpack and go for a walk. Hope to see you on the trail and on top of the mountain.

Serbian Bishop Andrej of Austria-Switzerland enthroned in Vienna
The Sunday, 20 July 2014, was a special day for the Serbs and the Serbian Orthodox Church in Vienna. The first time in history the new Diocese founded by the decision of the Holy Assembly of Bishops got the Diocesan Bishop, who is going to take care about Church and spiritual life of his congregation in this Diocese.
Since the early morning guests and pious people were arriving to the churchyard of the Resurrection church to welcome His Holines Irinej, Serbian Patriarch, with Their Eminences Metropolitans and Their Graces Bishops from the homeland. Both priests and monks, all gathered in one Spirit, today occupied the church yard and the church of the Resurrection of Christ.
Serbian Patriarch Irinej officiated the Hierarchal Divine Liturgy under concelebration of Metropolitans: Arsenios of Austria and the Exarch of Hungary (Ecumenical Patriarchate), George of Kitrus and Katherine (Orthodox Church of Greece), Amfilohije of Montenegro and the Littoral and Porfirije of Zagreb-Ljubljana, as well as of Bishops: Irinej of Backa, Pahomije of Vranje, Ignjatije of Branicevo, Teodosije of Raska-Prizren, Marko of Bregalnica, Gerasim of Gornji Karlovac, David of Krusevac, David of Stobi and, of course, new elected Andrej.

Choir singers from Vienna and Belgrade churches sang responses.
The Divine Liturgy and the rite of the enthronement of the Bishop of Austria-Switzerland were also attended by Bishop Lukijan of Budim and retited Vasilije of Zvornik-Tuzla. Also some ambassadors and political dignitaries were among the faithful.
Serbian Patriarch held an address and wished Bishop Andrej of Austria-Switzerland to follow the path of God and the path of Saint Sava and of all our saints and thereupon handed him over a pastoral staff, the symbol of apostolic authority.
Following the address by Patriarch Irinej, Bishop Andrej of Austria-Switzerland thanked all for the support during his life and education.
The enthronement of Bishop of Austria-New Zealand was attended by: Vice President of the Government of Serbia and Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic, Director of the Bureau for Relations with Churches and Religious Communities Dr. Mileta Radojevic, representatives of the city of Vienna, neighboring countries in the region, prominent representatives of the cultural and public life in Austria.
Personal envoy of Cardinal Christoph Schönborn attended the enthronement on his behalf, as well as Apostolic Nuncio Peter Stephan Zurbriggen.
After the ceremony in the church, Patriarh Irinej, with hierarchs and priests and monks, invited all guests to the agape feast. On this occasion His Grace Bishop Dr. Irinej of Backa, former Administrator of this Diocese, delivered a speech. Addresses were also given by: Metropolitan Arsenios of Austria, Vice President of the Government of Serbia and Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic, Apostolic Nuncio Peter Stephan Zurbriggen and episcopal dean Fr.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Following two shutouts this past week against Lesley and WPI, bringing her to a total of five for the season, senior goalkeeper Meghan Wright (Devon, Pa.) was named the NEWMAC women's soccer Defensive Player of the Week. This is the second time in her career that she has received this honor.
In the game against WPI, Wright made a point blank save on a free kick. The ball was redirected toward the goal and was booted at the net from about six yards out, but Wright managed to lunge and save it with her shoulder to preserve the shutout.
