Wagner, a three-term lawmaker and past state party chair, had been exploring the race for several months, and was encouraged to run by the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and actually led McCaskill in several polls. Wagner told the Washington Examiner that she would instead run for re-election in the House of Representatives.
Coming in a year when 23 of the 34 Senate seats up for election are in Democratic hands, such announcements suggest Republicans are worried about being linked to an unpopular president and to a Republican-ruled Congress in which healthcare and tax reform are stymied.
"I have to believe that Republicans are bracing for a bad year in 2018," political scientist Norman Ornstein of the Brookings Institution told Newsmax. "We have the usual problems for the party of the president and midterms combined with the heavy onus that comes with Donald Trump and an utterly dysfunctional Congress. What usually happens in cases like this is candidates reconsider and often decide that it is a good time to spend more time with their families."
Montana's most popular Republican, State Attorney General Tim Fox, announced last month that he would not challenge Democratic Sen. Jon Testor. In Michigan, efforts to recruit veteran Rep. Fred Upton for the Republican U.S. Senate nomination failed. Now five Republicans are vying to oppose Michigan Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow, their common denominator seemingly is that all are unknown statewide.
In Wisconsin, when she won a narrow upset over former Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson in 2012, Democrat Tammy Baldwin made history as the first identified lesbian to be elected U.S. senator anywhere. In 2018, she seemed a prime target for a strong Republican challenger but so far, none has stepped forward. Gov. Scott Walker and Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, either of whom would be formidable GOP challengers to Baldwin, have signaled they will seek third terms to their respective offices.
Pennsylvania Republicans are waiting to see if Wilkes-Barre Rep. Lou Barletta will run against Democratic Sen. Bob Casey. Of the current field of GOP hopefuls, Lowman Henry of the conservative Lincoln Institute of Public Opinion Research told me, "Montgomery County businessman Jeff Bartos is impressing a lot of people. And then we have two state representatives, and a Delaware County businessman named Paul Addis who feels Trump is an embarrassment."
But, he concluded, "at this point, I think everything hinges on what Lou decides to do."
Republicans still do have hopes of increasing their 52-seat majority in the Senate next year. So far, however, the heavyweight contenders are not climbing into the ring.

Worlds of Exile and Illusion
Three Hainish Novels by Ursula K. Le Guin
Reviewed by Galen Strickland
The individual titles in this collection were published in paperback, the first two in 1966, the third in '67. The book I have is a hardcover omnibus from the Science Fiction Book Club titled Three Hainish Novels. I bought it used and only the original copyright dates are given for each book, but Wikipedia says it came out in 1978. I know I didn't buy it until after I had read The Left Hand of Darkness, or maybe it was The Dispossessed, but I can't recall when I first read them, or in what order. The image to the right is the currently available paperback edition. Le Guin acknowledges editor Jeffrey Levin for corrections in the book club edition, but I'm not sure if there have been any further revisions. Below, I'll provide images from the first printings of the books. The first two were part of separate Ace Double editions, bundled with another author's work. I haven't done a complete word count, but I think they are actually novellas, although the designation for that may have changed over the years. It is currently accepted, at least for SF award purposes, that a novel starts at 40,000 words. I am sure City of Illusions exceeds that, but the first two can't be much more than 30,000.
Le Guin doesn't care for the designation Hainish Cycle for these and other related books and stories, yet even the current edition has that on the cover, as does a recent Library of America collection of the entire saga to date. I'm thinking it's more of a publishing strategy which she went along with rather than argue, and now she's stuck with it. On her own website she stated "The thing is, they aren't a cycle or a saga. They do not form a coherent history. There are some clear connections among them, yes, but also some extremely murky ones." However, it's hard to consider them stand-alone stories either. Inconsistencies include the timelines of exploration and the technologies mentioned, but the connecting link is the planet Hain, and the explorers and ethnographers they send out to other planets. They claim (in some stories at least) to have originally seeded many planets, including Earth, with human, animal, and plant types millennia ago. Then there was a dark period in their history during which they lost space-faring capability, and the reasons for how and why that happened varies in different stories too. When they reestablish contact, evolution has made many changes based on planetary conditions, and it is possible the Hains indulged in some genetic manipulation in the original seedings. It is also possible that some of the planets they visit are inhabited by beings original to that world.
Rocannon's World is the first of Le Guin's longer fiction, be it novel or novella, and while it has multiple science fiction elements, it is in many ways closer to heroic fantasy. Published in 1966, its opening prologue is a previously published short story, although there may have been some revisions. "The Diary of the Angyar" originally appeared in the September 1964 issue of Amazing Stories, then was later retitled "Semley's Necklace." It is set on an unnamed planet orbiting the star Fomalhaut, which is home to several identified hilfs (high intelligent life forms). Queen Semley is of the more human-like species, the Angyar, which at that time lived in a feudal society, replete with castles, and warriors that ride the skies on windsteeds, giant flying cat-like creatures, similar to the fabled gryphon. Semley knows of the legend of a jeweled necklace which should have been presented to her King as dowry, but which had been lost under mysterious circumstances. She travels to the caves of the Gdemiar, dwarf/gnome-like beings also known as the Clayfolk. They had been granted knowledge of manufacturing technologies by the Hainish League of All Worlds, including an automated spaceship for transporting goods to Hain. That ship is limited to the speed of light, or maybe just short of that. The leader of the Clayfolk believes the necklace had been in their possession at one time, but then sent to Hain. Semley convinces them to allow her to travel to Hain to retrieve it. Due to the relativistic effects of lightspeed travel, what to her seems just a few days is sixteen years on her world. She returns with the necklace, only to find her world vastly changed.
Gaverel Rocannon was an ethnolgist working at the museum where Semley retrieved her family's heirloom. He later initiated protocols that restricted Hainish interference with her planet, but did travel there himself for further study. By that time Semley was long dead, but he becomes good friends with another ruling family from that society. Lord Mogien dubs him "Starlord." Rocannon is alarmed to discover a force from a rival planet there, one which intends to foment a revolution against the League. Even though humans cannot withstand faster than light travel, there are robotic FTL ships, as well as a technology Le Guin invented, later to be used by many other authors. The ansible is a means of instantaneous communication between planets and ships. Rocannon's ship, containing an ansible, is destroyed, so he undertakes a perilous journey across the planet to find his enemy's stronghold, hopefully to be able to use their ansible to warn Hain of the impending war. The story once again shifts to fantasy mode. During his journey, Rocannon interacts with the Clayfolk, as well as the elf-like Fiia, the fearsome Winged Ones, and the most human-like Liuar, from which the Angyar were descended. SF elements come back into play when he discovers the enemy base, but another fantasy trope helps him complete his mission. A mysterious cave dweller teaches him the techniques of Mindspeech. Later, in his honor, the League gives the planet the name Rokanon.
In my research on Le Guin's career, I have not found evidence of something I suspect. It is possible she didn't initially intend for these and later stories to be connected, but perhaps was convinced to do so by an editor. I would love to track down those first Ace editions to see if changes had been made before the omnibus to add more connections. If the Hains had seeded Rokanon in the distant past, the Liuar and Angyar might be the result of that, but the other species could be native to the planet, certainly not evolved from the Liuar. Mindspeech does figure into the other two in this collection, but I don't recall it in later books, although later on in that paragraph quoted above Le Guin wrote "...what happened to "mindspeech" after Left Hand of Darkness?" I re-read that one about a year and a half ago, but if it was mentioned I've forgotten already (sucks to be old). Rocannon is mentioned by one character in the second story, identified as the source of the technique of mindspeech, but little else connects them. The style of these three stories also varies quite a bit, from the fantasy-drenched landscape of Semley's planet, to the action-oriented adventure in the second, to the more overt science fictional alien 'fish out of water' story of the third. Yes, there are connections, but I'm sure Le Guin could have dropped those and made each more unique. Remember, I said above that the timeline of events is confusing. The Dispossessed was the fifth book in the published sequence, but apparently the first in chronological order, since it introduced the man who invented the ansible. How many years separated that story from these? I don't know. The Left Hand of Darkness was written fourth, but takes place many years after City of Illusions.
Long before George R. R. Martin warned us that "Winter is Coming," Le Guin gave us Planet of Exile, set on another unnamed (until the third book) planet, which has a very long year, close to 60 Earth years. It is inhabited by a species that may be indigenous or may be descended from Hainish stock. They are visited by an expedition from Earth, which is a member of the League of All Worlds. The natives call the Earthers "farborn," and even though both are humanoid, interbreeding is not possible, at least not for a time of further evolution. The majority of Earthers have left the planet in their ship, leaving behind some tech, but not an ansible. Those remaining stay mostly in their own city of Landin, although there are a few who have intermingled with the native population, including marriage. The long seasons is not the only similarity to Martin's later creation. The Gaal are a nomadic tribe from the north who historically ravage the south as winter approaches, and there are dangerous creatures, Snowghouls, seldom seen, but stories about them haunt children's dreams.
Rolery is a native woman whose mother died in childbirth, and whose father, Wold, later took an Earth woman as a mate. Perhaps for this reason she is fascinated by the Earthers, and during one of her visits to Landin she meets Jakob Agat, one of Landin's council members. Sometimes his name concludes with Alterra, but that's not a family name but rather indicates his leadership position, and probably means "Of Terra." He was kin to the woman Wold took as wife, nephew or cousin. Both groups have mistrust of the other, but both Agat and Wold try to mitigate that with their interactions, and Agat's attraction to Rolery plays a huge role too, but not always in a positive way. This is the shortest of the three stories, and character development suffers because of it. I couldn't buy into the relationship of Jakob and Rolery, at least not from his perspective. Their 'romance' is very brief, and I couldn't understand his motivation, since he at times had a very condescending attitude toward her people, only embracing an alliance when he realized his people needed the help of hers to withstand the onslaught of the Gaal. Earthers had traditionally been immune to viruses and bacterial infections unique to the planet, but that seems to be changing, resulting in deaths from infected wounds during the fighting. Other evolutionary changes are taking place, leading to successful interbreeding of the two species. Combining native knowledge of planetary conditions and Earth technology, a new, stronger civilization emerges, one that eventually leads to star travel again.
City of Illusions is set on Earth, a post-apocalyptic world some twelve hundred years after the Shing have broken the power of the League of All Worlds. Are they the same force that threatened Rocannon in the first book? Possibly, but I'm not certain. If so, their motives and agenda have changed from that previously described. Humans gather in small enclaves, their main goal being to escape the notice of the alien occupiers, who seem to tolerate their existence as long as they eschew advanced technologies. The story begins with the discovery of a naked 'man' on the outskirts of a village somewhere in the forests of the southeast of the former United States. His yellow, cat-like eyes brand him as alien, but is he a Shing infiltrator? No one has ever seen one, they are only aware of the surveilling aircraft they have to dodge on occasion. They become convinced his memory is gone, and they take him in and educate him in their language and way of life. They give him the name Falk, which means yellow. Five years pass, he has a loving relationship with one of the village women, yet he is constantly besieged with dreams and visions of an earlier life. Falk even begins to wonder himself if he is Shing, and decides to abandon his friends and travel west to Es Toch, the mountain stronghold of the aliens. He encounters several other groups on his journey, most of them distrustful of any traveler. He is captured by a nomadic tribe of the central plains, then rescued by Estrel, a woman who says she has been to Es Toch and knows the safest route there.
Falk discovers that Es Toch is home to more than one kind of illusion. Most of the people he encounters are human, and it seems there are few Shing in the city, and he is sure those he does see are not with him physically, but rather are holographic projections. He is also not sure he can believe what they tell him, which is that they aren't aliens, but humans who concocted the story of the outside threat to save Earth from its own destructive tendencies. Falk has the talent of mindspeech, and he believes it is impossible to lie with the mind, but apparently the Shing have figured out how to do so. No matter how much he distrusts them, much of what they say convinces him of his true identity, that he is Agad Ramarren, emissary from Werel (the Planet of Exile), who had been injured when his space ship crashed on Earth. The only other survivor of that crash was a young child at the time, with no knowledge of the name or location of Werel. Falk is convinced the Shing's offer to help restore his memory will only spell disaster for his home planet. Can he figure out a way to thwart their plans?
Even though I've had this book for decades, I am sure this is the first time I've read the third story. Bear in mind I had read several of Le Guin's award winners first, so I was not as impressed with the first two "novels" and must have set it aside at that time. Now I can appreciate the development of her craft through this book and beyond. Le Guin began writing at a very early age, but wasn't published until she was 32, and had only a handful of stories to her credit before this trilogy. Then just a year later she began her truly mature work with A Wizard of Earthsea, followed by her first dual Hugo/Nebula award winner The Left Hand of Darkness only a year after that. Rocannon's World seems derivative of fantasy stories the author probably liked growing up, while Planet of Exile moved toward the more anthropological focus evident in her later work, but without adequate character development. City of Illusions shows a vast improvement in both character and plot development, and saw the blossoming of her lyrical descriptive style. It is the only one I can actively recommend, unless you're a completist like me, then by all means, seek out all her work. Very little of it will disappoint.

In the early trappings of parenthood; with the lonely, sleepless nights and the long, caffeine fuelled days, it can be difficult to remember if you brushed your own teeth in the last 24 hours and sent out the birth announcement with the correct spelling of the name you agonised over. So to be dealing with an autoimmune disease on top of all that can be overwhelming.
Here are some tips, from a new mum with psoriasis, to help you have a few less things to worry about in those newborn days.
Pregnancy Notes
While baby is still a bump be sure to add psoriasis to your pregnancy notes. Ensure your midwife, and any other professionals involved in your pregnancy care, are aware of your skin condition, any recent changes and any medication or treatment you are currently using.
Look After Yourself
The phrase "You can't fill from an empty cup" springs to mind. Yes, you have a new tiny bubba that is wholly dependant on you to cater for it's every whim but you also need some TLC. It's true that you can be so consumed with baby you will forget to brush your own teeth but sometimes something as simple and mundane as washing your face and freshening your breath can make you feel more human, if not completely back to yourself.
Scheduling Appointments
Even though your priorities have changed, you still need to keep on top of your own medical needs; as well as registering the birth, trying to recall if the health visitor said morning or afternoon and if you are on dirty nappy 9 or 10. If you have dermatology check ups or appointments due around the same time as baby is due, think about this in advance and plan accordingly to ensure that you don't miss important appointments and you continue to get the care and support that you need. If you are one of the lucky ones and baby can be left with a loved one, then use this appointment time to skip out of the house, grab a takeaway coffee on the way and enjoy the peaceful, alone time of a surgery waiting room to gather your thoughts.
Repeat Prescriptions
Nappies and naps aside, you may not have an actual appointment to attend for your skin but instead you may have a prescription that needs to be collected. Ensure you make time for this. Otherwise ask friends or family to collect it on your behalf.
Down Days
Those first few days are a real whirlwind of emotions. Highs and lows, with every mother and birth being unique. You don't know how you'll feel. You don't know how the birth will go. So be kind to yourself. You are allowed to feel down. You are allowed to be teary or upset. Managing your own expectations can be crucial to your own well being. Keeping a check of your emotions, which is different to controlling them, but simply noting and accepting how you're feeling can mean you face your feelings head on and help you prepare for the next swing or dip in emotions. In turn this can help to manage your psoriasis. Asking for help, talking to someone you trust about your feelings, admitting to yourself that 'this is hard" is self preserving, not weak. You are not a bad mum if you need 10 minutes to yourself to put some moisturiser on your skin. OR if you really, really need to sleep then ask a loved one to look after baby and let you have that nap you crave. You have needs too and your body has been through a lot!
Accept Help
People love a baby; they love talking about babies, holding babies, staring at babies and asking about baby's eating and sleeping patterns the minute they are born. You will quickly find, you play second fiddle from now on. So when people are keen to come around and help, assuming you are ready to accept visitors, take the help. Leave your housework to others, let them do your dishes or fold your laundry. Ask them to do little things around the house in exchange for baby cuddles; they'll do it. Or before they even visit, ask them to bring a dish or do some batch cooking to keep you going for a few days.
After Care
No I don't mean directly after the birth. But days, weeks down the line when the stream of visitors has subsided and the 'Welcome' balloons are looking a little wilted. Think about speaking to your health visitor, doctor or dermatologist about the management of your psoriasis since you are no longer pregnant. If you are planning to breastfeed this is another important factor to discuss with your doctor when thinking about which treatments are suitable for use and which should be avoided.
Most importantly, enjoy this special time and remember to look after yourself as well as your new addition.

Dear Mr Key,
As you know, New Zealand has agreed to support the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals to significantly reduce global poverty. In order to reach these crucial goals, we committed in 2000 to giving 0.7 per cent of gross national income in aid by 2015.
I am writing to urge your Government to honour New Zealand's commitment.
In the MDGs we have an opportunity, unique in history, to join with the rich world to achieve something amazing, something of real substance, but we are a long way from reaching the target we have set ourselves together.
New Zealand currently gives less than 0.3 per cent of GNI and your Government has committed to no timetable to reach the 0.7 target by 2015.
As a Christian I am committed to the MDGs as an important step toward eradicating the horrific poverty so common around our world. I am deeply disappointed that we who are so lucky are not more generous.
The quality of leadership you show on this issue will determine my vote in next year's election.
Mr Key, please prioritise the poorest of the poor in the next Budget, raise our overseas aid and set a timetable to meet our target of 0.7 per cent of GNI by 2015.
Yours faithfully,
Thalia Kehoe Rowden

I have changed the idea I had about what I was going to do, next, for money and work.
I had thought I'd get retail job or a cleaning job and use the $ to pay down our debt. It's a fine idea, but I didn't figure on my elbow. My elbow is fine, mostly, except every now and then…when it hurts like the dickens when I do too much. I have no idea if I will ever again be able to do the heavy work which was my normal. Until I know I can do it without disabling myself, the prudent plan is to assume that I won't.
Given that, what then? I need to make money. I need to get rid of stuff. I need some way to do both which doesn't require lots of heavy lifting or physical work. Hmm.
What I came up with was a way to incorporate the things I already do, and have already started, into a comprehensive whole. The memoir, various other writings, themes throughout the writing, and other pieces I've started through the years. So, at some point in the not too distant future, this blog may change radically.
The first piece is something I intend to implement this month. I've been held up because my editing work has suddenly gotten very busy. Since that's the gig which pays the quickest right now, and there's someone else who I'd be holding up if I didn't do the work in a timely basis, it gets top priority.
But new content! Spring cleaning, that is, culling the less read/viewed parts and reorganization of this site's content ahead!

We are pleased to announce from Summer 2018, we have the Forest of Dean as a second coaching venue! This location allows us to coach advanced riders and those looking for steeper and faster terrain to push their limits.
While we still recommend Ashton Court and Leigh Woods as a great coaching location, we realise some of you are looking for the next step. You've had sessions with us before, your body position is dialled, your jump technique is giving you great pop and you are progressing. The Forest of Dean then gives us the option for follow-up sessions further down the line to put these techniques into place when you have the added pressure of difficult terrain to work with.
We can offer the fine tuning needed in order for you to see improvement in your race results and perhaps even find the podium. If style is what you're looking for, rather than speed, the jump lines in the Forest Of Dean can provide the launch pad as we push for whips and look to get the bike flat! There are a whole multitude of advanced skills we can coach you through here.
Give us a call if you're unsure what kind of session would be best for you. Our years of experience allows us to gauge where you're at before we've ridden with you for the first time.

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Combine oats, spelt flour, wheat germ, brown sugar, chia seeds, ground flax seeds, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
- Combine applesauce, honey, banana, egg, and dates in a blender; blend until very smooth. Pour over the oat mixture and mix well.
- Scoop granola mixture into the pan. Press down firmly with wet hands to spread evenly in the pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until very lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool for 1 to 2 minutes. Cut into bars. Cool completely before lifting from the pan, about 30 minutes.

- Cook's Notes:
- If you do not have parchment paper on hand, grease the pan very well before adding the granola.
- I used spelt flour because I like the mild taste and added nutrition, but nearly any flour would likely work, including wheat. For a gluten-free option, amaranth, millet, quinoa, sorghum, and gluten-free oat flours would all work well.
- Things you can add in step 3 include sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, raisins, dried blueberries, or crystallized ginger. My kids' favorite combination is mini chocolate chips and coconut flakes.

What Can We Do?
Barcelona, London, Paris, Nantes, Manchester. The attacks keep coming. The fear, the anger, the hurt, the pain and the suffering keeps on growing. In the aftermath of these evil attacks, political and religious leaders all over the world will offer their sincere condolences and make bold statements about staying strong and not letting fear win. And for a while this show of positivity and strength will make us feel a little better, but soon enough we come to realise that nothing has changed and nothing likely will. I don't want to go into depth regarding conspiracy theories of how the political and religious organisations and institutions may have a vested interest in maintaining the 'status quo'.

Name of a Compound
When given the name of a compound, like sodium bicarbonate, how do you find the molecular formula when only given the name?
Re: Name of a Compound
I'm sure on tests he will give us the names to complex compounds but I think this really just comes with practice and the more you become familiar with different compounds. If you have some knowledge of the compound you could know that sodium Na bicarbonate is CO3 and there is also an H so it's NaHCO3.
Re: Name of a Compound
You should review fundamental sections B-D. These common polyatomic ions and naming ionic compounds are something that is part of the high school review. You should review them in the section mentioned if you are not sure since they will continue to appear for rest of this course and future 14 series courses.
Bicarbonate = HCO3-, sodium ion = Na+,
So 1:1 to get neutral charge and the formula is NaHCO3.
Bicarbonate = HCO3-, sodium ion = Na+,

Major milestones reached by Oxford Pharmascience
Begbroke company, Oxford Pharmascience, has reason to celebrate this Christmas.
In December they announced a deal with a major healthcare company to develop a range of 'on-the-go' taste-masking products using the OXPzero technology.
Just one month earlier, they sealed a similar deal with a 'leading multivitamin brand' to develop a dietary supplement using the OXPChew platform.
The company is now looking to raise £2m to fund these, and further new applications.
CEO Nigel Theobald commented "having made strong progress over the last 18 months developing and commercialising our innovative technology platforms, the directors believe the share placing will put Oxford Pharmascience in a better position to continue this effort."

I'm working on Windows c#.
Firstly, the things those can not be change as my need are following:
- The Size of
TableLayoutPanelis fixed.
- The Total # of columns are fixed.
Now, I want to set a fix height for all rows but as increasing the rows, if I set the
RowStyle property to
Percent with
100.0F then it works fine for 3 to 4 items, but after 4-5 items, the control on one row overwrites controls on another row.
I have searched for this so more but i'm not able to get the proper answer. I have also tried the
Absolute properties of
RowStyle, even though it is not working.
So what to do and how? How can I achieve this?
Ultimately, I want to do same like as
DataGridView of Windows C#.
Thanks in advance....
I'm working on WinForms...the sample code is here..
int cnt = tableLayout.RowCount = myDataTable.Rows.Count;
tableLayout.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(555, 200);
for (int i = 1; i <= cnt; i++)
Label lblSrNo = new Label();
lblSrNo.Text = i.ToString();
TextBox txt = new TextBox();
txt.Text = "";
txt.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(69, 20);
tableLayout.Controls.Add(lblSrNo, 0, i - 1);
tableLayout.Controls.Add(txt, 1, i - 1);
foreach (RowStyle rs in tableLayout.RowStyles)
tableLayout.RowStyles.Add(new RowStyle(SizeType.AutoSize));
The label and textboxes are working fine for 4-5 #of rows but whenever the #of row(in this case, variable cnt in for loop) increases, the rows are overwriting each other that is one control overwrite to another...I had drag-drop the TableLayoutPanel control and created just one row and 2 columns manually.
So please tell me how to do it.

Available Colors: ↓
100 % Combed and Ring Spun Premium Cotton. 6.0 oz. Pre-Shrunk Jersey Knit Fabric. Classic Fit. Seamless Non Topstitched Seven Eighths Inch Collar. Tear Away Label. 30 Distinct Hammer T-Shirt Colors.
Adult – S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL, XXXXL, XXXXXL
Player #'S and Names Are Available in Design Studio
Look No Further. Get Started On Your Gildan - Hammer Short Sleeve T-Shirt Design
Customizing Gildan Hammer T-Shirts
Quality Custom Shirts Cheap
What we have here is quit possibly the very best T-Shirt ever built in the 6.0, Premium Cotton Category. The Hammer T-Shirt was designed for the Mature, No Non Sense Customer looking for a Classic Fitting Premium Custom T-Shirt. And to make these even that much more appealing is the price tag. Priced like a Basic Heavy Weight, you just cannot afford not to get into the Custom Hammer Tees. At last we have a non clinging, classic fitting, Pre-Shrunk, Ring Spun and Combed Ultra Weight T-Shirt. And it is fully loaded with features. If this was a Car I would say it was a Jeep Wrangler. Built to last and built to go anywhere. Ready for work or ready play. Toned down Washed Colors that are destined to become classics. Rugged and Comfortable these will become your go to favorites.
Gildan Hammer Style T-Shirts – The Build
As with most of the Gildan Classic Fits, there is plenty of room inside. No Clinging or riding up on the backside. Hammer Tees are also Pre-Shrunk too. With the heavy 6.0 Oz fabric these keep their form just like most 50-50 cotton and Poly Tees Do. If you are at Work or Play you will be un restricted in your movements from the fit. And this is very special from a Ring-Spun Cotton T-Shirt. The last few years have seen a vast improvement of ring spun t-shirts. However most of these were constructed with either a semi fitted or complete fitted silhouette. This is great for the younger crowd or those who want to wear an outer shirt over them. But for a working man or gal looking for comfort and room to move, this was not the style. The Fitted shirt has its place, but the Classic Fit is here to Stay. It's definitely Hammer Time!!
Gildan Hammer Style T-Shirts – The Fabric
Gildan uses the very best Premium Cotton and the Hammer T-Shirts are the Benefactors of this. Crafted from 100% Premium, Pre-Shrunk, Ring Spun and Combed, 6.0 Oz Cotton. What all this means in lay terms is that you are getting a super soft, very comfortable t-shirt that should not shrink if properly washed. Right out of the box these bad boys feel as if you have your very favorite, t-shirt that you have been wearing for years. Broken in just perfect and the way you love it. But these are new and have years of wearing pleasure in them.
Ring Spun – This technique uses a machine to twist and thin out the cotton strands resulting in an extremely soft and durable fiber. This is what will eventually create a t-shirt that feels as though it has been washed over and over until extremely soft. Not only will this give you a softer feel, it creates a much stronger fiber too. All this is win win when it comes to a t-shirt.
Combed – This process removes the shorter strands or fiber of cotton. leaving behind only the longer, more silky cotton strands. In turn after spinning and creating the t-shirt you get a soft, smooth, and better printing surface. The Screen Printing Inks lay down much more uniform and smoother creating a soft hand print. This is the ultimate goal in Screen Printing.
Pre-Shrunk – The process of weaving the threads of cotton tighter and more compact. This will remove the spaces between threads creating a shirt that will shrink little or none. These creates a surface that will allow for way less shrinkage. It removes most of the shrinking problems associated with washing and drying of cotton garments, it will also create a surface that will be more Ink receptive when being screen printed. Care should still be taken however when laundering not to harm the garment.
Gildan Hammer Style T-Shirts – The Craftsmanship
7-8th's Double-Needle Sewn Sleeve and Botttom Hem – Fantastic Sewing and done twice for added durability. The Hammer Sleeves and Bottom Hems are fabricated to last and not fray and tear.
Neck and Shoulder Taping – Hammer Tees have fabric sewn over the stitching that creates the Neck and Shoulders of the T-Shirt. This technique covers up all the stitching creating a seemless body style. This also adds more comfort and much more durability top the Garment itself.
Non-Topstitched 7-8th's Seemless Collar – With no topstitching to be seen the collar is super clean and sleek. One of the finest looking collars on a t-shirt today.
No Center Crease – The body is quarter turned so that the seem that creates the T-Shirt Body is on the side and not in the middle of the T-Shirt.
Tearaway Tag – Easily remove the sizing tag for a no itch neck or back.
Gildan Hammer Style T-Shirts – The Colors
This is where it really gets interesting. What a perfect set of colors to go with this Beast of a T-Shirt. Gildan created a Color Pallet specifically for this style. Laid back and toned down with a twist on all the great Gildan Basic Colors we have seen for years. No Neons, Tie Dyes, Super Bright Colors here. Loaded with Earth Tones and clearly with the Professional working man or girl in mind. 7 Sport Colors that are rich and Deep. They are Sport Green, Maroon, Dark Navy, Sport Grey, Purple, Royal, and Sport Scarlet Red. Lots of Blues and Greens such as Trpoical Blue, Iris, Galapagos Blue, Cobalt, Violet,Chalky Mint, Lagoon Blue, Chambray, Flo Blue, Irish Green, Island Reef, Orchid, Seafoam. Than all the other Primary Colors are here but with the Hammer Look added to them. Check out this Color Selection below!!
Gildan Hammer Style T-Shirts – Pricing
Priced way below any competitive style are the Hammer Shirts. There are only a couple of Brands that make anything even close to such a high performance, cotton classic fitting T-Shirt. The cost is around a buck more than the Ultra Cotton from Gildan. But keep in mind what you are getting. Ring Spun and Combed Premium Cotton is very expensive and the very best for T-Shirt Manufacturing. This shirt will last for years bare no disaster's like fires, getting hung up on a fence, cust with a box knife while working, etc. etc.. So the value is huge and built in. A 50 pieces print one color on one side the price is $5.75 each delivered. That is no money at all when you consider exactly what this custom quality t-shirt brings to the table.
Probably more than one would want top pay for a give away or promo shirt. But for staffing, work shirts, corporate wear, this will pay dividends over and over. It will last and wear better than anything else out there. You will need to purchase your custom shirts less as these will last twice as long as a regular heavy weight. So if you want to get in on the newest and best quality custom shirt cheap, order now!!

2019 RMSA Top Dawg Regulations – PDF
2019 RMSA Liability Waiver – PDF
Online Tournament Format and Rules
This is an online style tournament consisting of Freediving and Scuba Diving. Your choice!
The biggest (longest) fish in each individual category at the end of the tournament wins Top Dawg for that category. At the end of the tournament there will also be a winner dubbed "The Bully". The Bully will be determined by adding up the total length of each individuals biggest fish in each category. You will want to enter a fish in as many categories as possible. Just because your big fish didn't win you the Top Dawg for the category, doesn't mean it still won't help you in participating for being crowned "The Bully". Participants must purchase entry into the tournament which includes the tournament hat and complete the registration.. The tournament will run from May 1st until October 31st. All participants must follow all state/ federal rules and regulations where they will be spearfishing. Any violation of state/federal laws, tournament rules or anyone caught cheating will result in automatic disqualification from the tournament and any/all future tournaments. Entries to be submitted, will need to be a photo/video of the fish with your tournament hat visible as well as time stamped with a witness. Examples of a time stamp would be your dive watch, cell phone, current days newspaper, anything to legitimately show the day you shot the fish. Photo/video must also include clear measurement of the fish. Fish must be laying on a FLAT surface! The measuring tape must be a soft tape and must be laid over the top of the fish and pulled snug. The tape needs to be free of any slack and/or wrinkles. The measurement, from the start of the tape to the end of the tape, must be clearly visible in the photo/video. Any submissions where the measurement can not be undoubtedly seen will be unaccepted. Try to get a straight up and down photo/video of the start and end of the measurement. All measurements shall be made from the fork of the tail to the tip of the mouth.
The mouth of the fish must be closed and not open. The tail should also be fanned out to show the deepest park of the fork. Along with the photo/video submission you must also
include written information stating your hat number, measurement, date and who was witness to the taking of the fish. You may submit as many fish throughout the tournament for every category as you wish. Meaning, if you submitted a fish today and go out tomorrow and shoot a bigger fish, you can "cull out" your smaller fish by submitting your bigger fish. This will play a key role in "The Bully". There will be 2 divisions in the tournament. Top Dawg and Top Pup. Top Pup division will be for ages 16 years of age and younger from the date of registration. The Top Pup division will be awarded by the biggest, overall fish throughout the tournament. The fish species must be one of our category species in the tournament. Parents, no shooting fish for your kids! If you are making a submission for the Top Pup division the rules are still the same but you must write that it is a Top Pup entry. Top Dawg can change tournament rules at anytime. You must comply with the rules at all times. If we make changes due to some unforeseen reason, we will update you on the Official Tournament Facebook and Instagram page as well as email. Be sure to have the notifications turned on for the page to alert you of any updates. As always, safety is the upmost importance. Remember there is no fish worth your life! Always dive with a buddy and remember 1 up, and 1 down! From all of us at Top Dawg, we would like to wish you all the best of luck!
All submitted fish must be speared with a rubber/pneumatic gun or pole spear.
Tournament waters restricted to all freshwater bodies of water within the United States/Canada where state/federal regulations allow it.
The measuring tape used MUST be a cloth/soft tape measure. Any submissions with the use of a metal or hard plastic measuring tape will not be accepted
The Striper Category is for landlocked Striper only. Meaning those fish do not have access to migrate to and from saltwater. The body of water the fish was taken from MUST be listed when submitting Striper. Fish taken from the Sacramento River and its tributaries, including the American River, will not be accepted in the tournament.
Channel Catfish, due to the nature of its body configuration will be measured by laying the fish flat. The measuring will start from the bottom of the mouth and run along the fish's side to the fork of the tail. A video of the correct way to measure is posted on the website along with the tournament Facebook and Instagram pages.
All entries must be submitted within 5 days of being taken.
In the event of a 2 person tie for The Bully, the tie breaker will be the total length of each persons 2 biggest fish
In the event of a tie for Top Dawg, the winner will revert back to the first submitted fish
All participants must follow all state/federal laws in the areas they are spearfishing. Any violation or suspected violation, of any of the laws and/or tournament rules, will result in disqualification from the tournament and possible disqualification from all future tournaments.
This tournament works mostly off of honesty.
We try our best to format it to prevent people from cheating. Don't be that person!
Any participant who gets caught cheating or is suspected of cheating after review from the board at Top Dawg, will be disqualified and will automatically be barred from ever being allowed to participate in future tournaments. Be honest!!!
Measuring tape used in entries MUST be a soft cloth tape measure. No entries will be accepted with the use of a hard metal or plastic tape measure
The method of measurement will be from the tip of the closed mouth to the fork of the tail. The mouth of the fish must be closed and not open. The tail of the fish should be fanned out to show the deepest part of the fork. For all species other than Panfish, measurements go to the closest 1/4 of an inch. To take over the leader board you must beat the previous leading fish by 1/4 of an inch!

If you've ever been to Lisbon, you will know that you can't pass a street corner without seeing a bakery or pastry shop with window displays full of these little beauties. The custard tart is a national treasure, and we couldn't pass up the opportunities to try a nice selection of them whilst we were over there in the beautiful city.
1. Fábrica da Nata
Praça dos Restauradores 62 -68, 1250-110 Lisboa
If you saw our last post from the Secret Food Tour, you would know that this is where our tour guide brought us for what she believed to be the best tart in town. Did we agree? We certainly did and we hit the jackpot first time as it was actually the first that we had. Perfect pastry, not too hard and not too soft on the inside. Goldilocks would have loved it! It was just right.
The Pastry:★★★★★
The Filling: ★★★★★
2. Pasteis de Belém
R. Belém 84-92, 1300-085 Lisboa
We took the Yellow Bus Tour boat ride over to Belem with the main purpose of checking what is believed to be the best by many. This is as this place holds the original recipe, and is still only known by a handful of people who work in the bakery. Don't get us wrong, they were delightful but we felt the pastry was a little too soft and inevitably, James made a mess of himself.
The Pastry:★★★
The Filling: ★★★★
3. Cafe Martinho Da Arcada
Praca do Comercio 3, Lisbon 1100-148 Portugal
Now this is where the competition gets difficult. Despite being in the heart of the tourist traps surrounding the Praca de Commercio, we researched and found this amazing restaurant. They served the best Portuguese cuisine, but unfortunately we had to look at the tables beside us in envy as we'd only just had lunch. Settling for dessert was no bad thing though. As tradition, enjoyed with a Portuguese coffee, the pastry and filling were perfect, and extra hot this time too!
The Pastry:★★★★★
The Filling: ★★★★★
4. Manteigaria – Time Out Market
Av. 24 de Julho 49, 1200-479 Lisboa
To round off our tart themed adventures, we visited the amazing Time Out Market and enjoyed some yet more custard tarts. This time served as a takeaway and in the box which can be seen above, we were very glad we took napkins with us. Far too soft, and I think the table enjoyed it just as much as I did.
The Pastry:★★★
The Filling: ★★★
Have you been to Lisbon? Tried a custard tart from any of these places or elsewhere? Let us know what you thought in the comments below!

I wrote this up early yesterday, before hearing about the slain children in Newtown, CT… My heart goes out to those families experiencing such a heart-wrenching and devastating loss. I post this now in deep empathy for their journey ahead…
My son, David, age 20, has written another exquisite poem regarding the loss of his father (and my husband), Timothy Kretzmann, on August 6, 2012, from cancer. (I mention this because some new members have signed up since then) .
I offer the poem here in empathy to others who may also be grieving such a loss, and as a window into the soul process when a family loses such a precious being… It compels us all to move closer to God and the Source of all Love, for it is now much too painful to stay away…
Blessings to all,
Mary Kretzmann
Be Still, My Child
by David Timothy Kretzmann
Oh how I miss you
I wake but the dream is not lifted
This weight cannot be shifted
My slumber haunts me
With images that could have been
But not in this new reality
My conscience forces me to ask
How could it happen this way
Why were you taken away
Everyone watching, powerless
As you move from this world to the next
Yet your eyes showed no fear
How could you not be scared?
I weep for a future without you there
And when I reach all despair
In the darkened moments
When sorrow abounds
And I tremble with regret
I listen for your voice
Anxious for you alone
Desperate to bring you back
And when my hope is lost
Inside grows this feeling
Your thoughts seep into my being
To bring me where I belong
Your voice that was there all along
"Be still, my child
Weep not for my body
Love is the timeless vessel with which we are connected
Fear not the future, for I am with you
Cry not for my presence, for I am here
Cling not to doubt, for I have traveled the Path you tread
Inside you will find what you seek
Adventurous joy and joyous adventure
Drift not to angst, you will see me again
Eternity's pole will guide you
Our true home lies not in this world
Travel forward, my child
Worry not for the trials ahead
For you are a part of me
And I of you
Look inside and you will see
A glimmer of the world that is to be
This is life's journey
Ever patient, ever courageous, ever joyful
Time is but a mirage of separation
I cannot forget you
Just as you cannot forget me
Yet your journey here remains
Learn that which you need to learn
And when you are ready
When your time is near
Let there be no fear
This dream will be lifted
With open arms, I will be waiting
To say Well done, my son
You are home now
Come! let me show you
Together, we will be free."
