Yesterday my friend L (from our old church) got more work done on her “sleeve” tattoo on her arm. She also loves tattoos like I do. I got my first tattoo when I was 21: it was the former Soviet flag on my ass. Since then over the YRS I have gotten several more, so many in fact that I’ve lost count and I’m not even sure how many I have now, so let’s count them one by one and see: I have the hammer and sickle on my arse, and I also have a tasmanian devil on my butt on the other cheek(these are always a big hit with doctors and nurses in a medical setting), plus a bunch of shamrocks and pogmothoin across my lower back ( and that one was really painful, my second-most painful of all of them I even had to do my focus breathing like I did in labour), and I have a butterfly with a bunch of falling hearts on my left shoulder(the lesion I’m having checked for melanoma is near that one), a rosary on my right shoulder, the Ohm symbol in the middle of my upper back, a Cross on the back of my neck, a “I love Mama” on the inside of my left wrist where the 13 YR old wrote on with marker YRS ago when she was little and I had the tattoo artist do over permanantly as a reminder of when she used to love me, and I also have a palm tree and sunset on the inside of my right ankle, a colourful bird on my outer right ankle, a cat on my inner left ankle, a rose on my outer left ankle, and my latest one: a hippo on the top of my right foot. I counted that’s 12 or 13……what did you get? Sometimes I get them to commemorate a special time in my life, or something that I love, other times I just think they look cool.
My last one on my foot was the most painful of them all, I guess being the most tender spot, with the thinnest skin and no fat.For that one I needed short breaks, and I clenched my teeth and my hands so hard my knuckles were white, and I broke out into a sweat from the pain and thought I was going to pass out. Most of them didn’t hurt that much(and the ones on my ass hardly hurt at all with all the padding!) but just felt like a bunch of bee stings or being scraped with an X-acto knife and then sting afterwards.The shoulder ones hurt somewhat and the ones on the inner ankles more so. I see it sort of like having a baby though; you go thru pain but then you get something beautiful afterwards. My hubby doesn’t really like my tattoos but he doesn’t like anything about me or anything I do anyway and he finds me repulsive overall so I might as well just do what I like, what makes me happy,and what’s best for me.
One of my cousins also posted this and it’s soooooo me! The 22 YR old and his GF also went in to Toronto and went skating at the old city hall, went shopping at the Eaton Centre (when I lived in Toronto I used to go there every Saturday) and ate at a restaurant. She goes back home to California in just a few days too. It’s hard to believe that 6 weeks has gone by so quickly! My abdomenal pain and cramping continues to get worse as well and I also have a really sore lower back and tired, achy, heavy, swollen legs which are symptoms of uterine or ovarian cancer but I’m also really gassy and feel like I have to shit,too, which are symptoms of appendicitis, although I don’t have a fever or nausea, and I wonder if maybe it could also be uterine prolapse, causing pain, cramps and it does also feel heavy, pressure, and almost like something’s falling out……it wouldn’t surprise me with all the kids I’ve had…I’ve been having a sharp stabbing pain in the back of my head on the right side on and off,too, so if I end up dead or something have them check for a stroke, brain bleed, or aneurysm…I’m an old jalopy, falling apart….

DALLAS, February 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
ReportsnReports.com adds "Future of the MINT Defense Industry - Market Attractiveness, Competitive Landscape and Forecasts to 2019" research report to its store. It says the MINT defense industry is expected to become one of the most attractive defense markets in review period.
The MINT (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey) region is expected to increase its defense spending from US$40.6 billion to US$61.1 billion over the forecast period, according to a new report titled Future of the MINT Defense Industry - Market Attractiveness, Competitive Landscape and Forecasts to 2019 available at http://www.reportsnreports.com/reports/274927-future-of-the-mint-defense-industry-market-attractiveness-competitive-landscape-and-forecasts-to-2019.html .
The shift in focus on the MINT region from the BRIC countries over the last year has generated significant interest on all aspects including the respective defense sectors. Turkey with a cumulative budget allocation of over US$100 billion over the forecast period is the major contributor in the region, followed by Indonesia with US$88.4 billion, Mexico with US$46.4 billion and Nigeria with approximately US$20 billion.
This report, available for purchase at http://www.reportsnreports.com/Purchase.aspx?name=274927 - starting Feb 17, 2014, provides in depth analysis of the MINT defense market, with identification of market drivers augmenting its provision of data on the current industry size and growth expectations to 2018. Together with its investigation of the industry structure and procurement dynamics, with analysis of the competitive landscape of the Bangladeshi defense industry, and its assessment of the business environment, Future of the MINT Defense Industry - Market Attractiveness, Competitive Landscape and Forecasts to 2019 should be considered required reading for those serious about capitalizing on the significant opportunities it holds.
Key insights include:
During the forecast period, MINTS defense expenditure will be driven by the following factors:
Modernization of defense systems:
The Brazilian MoD is increasing efforts to replace its aging military systems and equipment acquired during the Soviet era. The country is expanding its naval fleet to increase regional maritime security by procuring Amazonas Class Ocean Patrol Vessels from UK and France. Furthermore, in an agreement signed with France in 2008, Brazil jointly manufacturing four Scorpene attack submarines, anticipated to enter service in 2017 along with a nuclear-powered submarine to be commissioned in 2023. Additionally in 2013, the Brazilian Air Force has chosen Saab's Gripen over other prospects which included Dassault's Rafale jet and Boeing's F/A 18 Super Hornet under a US$4.5 billion contract to provide 36 fighter jets by 2020.
The country's defense ministry is also currently in the process of strengthening its military ties with Russia having initiated a US$1 billion planned procurement of anti-aircraft missile batteries.
Drug trafficking is now rampant all over the world, more so in a few countries of the MINT region. Mexico is probably the most adversely affected by this than any other country globally. The nation has also had to grapple with crimes related to drug trafficking, which include weapons and human trafficking, money laundering, vehicle theft, kidnappings, and extortion. Nigeria has been a center for drug trafficking in Africa; the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) was formed in 2004 in an attempt to control this threat. In April 2011 the agency destroyed over 46,740.5 kg of illicit drugs, mainly cannabis, in the states of Kogi and Ondo. Other than drug trafficking internal conflicts have been another major concern in countries like Indonesia, Turkey and Nigeria. Indonesia still faces threats from insurgent groups such as the Free Papua Organisation (Organisasi Papua Merdeka, OPM) and the Free Aceh Movement (Gerakan Aceh Merdeka, GAM).

This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries.

Year 2 Finger Puppets
Year 2 have continued to produce some wonderful work, based around the current class reading book of the Enormous Turnip. All of the children have made some brilliant finger puppets, each representing different characters from within the story. We selected different colour of felt for each animal in the story, and then carefully sewed the material to make the puppets. The next stage for our literacy work in Year 2 will be to use our finger puppets to act out the story of the Enormous Turnip.

Zak Group has designed and art directed the visual identity and exhibition design of the Taipei Biennial 2012 entitled Modern Monsters / Death and Life of Fiction. This eighth edition of the Biennial invokes the ancient Chinese monster Taowu, a shape-shifting creature that sees both past and future, as lens through which to read modern Chinese history.
The visual identity of the Taipei Biennial 2012 is conceived as a constantly shape-shifting expression of the exhibition; rather than taking the form of a static symbol or logo the identity appears as an ever-changing image. A new typeface, Taowu Sans, designed by Zak Group, is used throughout the exhibition, weaving together the dual languages; doubling, mirroring and multiplying language itself. A typographic argument; Chinese and Latin characters are interwoven, suggesting multiple, context specific readings.
Described by curator Anselm Franke; “The design of the Taipei Biennial becomes a playful, yet provocative invitation into the ‘underworld’ of the official record of modernity”. Ripe with metaphors and powers of evocation, the design is a game of symmetrically mirroring opposites: dark and light, past and present, fiction and reality.
The exhibition design, spanning the two sites of the Biennial, was conceived in collaboration with architects Co DKT. The Taipei Biennial website was programmed by Studio Scasascia.
Introduced by Alison Devine, Director of the British Council Taipei and Hai-Ming Huang, Director of Taipei Fine Arts Museum Zak Group partner Zak Kyes presented the Taipei Biennial International Lecture “Working With… (Monsters, Institutions and Others…)”.
For this large scale, multilingual project Zak Group was also commissioned to design the exhibition’s dual-language guidebooks, an online and printed journal containing related essays, the website and the Taipei Biennial 2012 campaign on display throughout the city of Taipei.

Selected contributions to the Ninth World Shakespeare Congress, which took place in July 2011 in Prague, represent the contemporary state of Shakespeare studies in thirty-eight countries worldwide. Apart from readings of Shakespeare’s plays and poems, more than forty chapters map Renaissance contexts of his art in politics, theater, law, or material culture and discuss numerous cases of the impact of his works in global culture from the Americas to the Far East, including stage productions, book culture, translations, film and television adaptations, festivals, and national heritage. The last section of the book focuses on the afterlife of Shakespeare in the work of the leading British dramatist Tom Stoppard.

The TYPES OF Casino Games
There are generally three types of casino games: poker games, video games machines, and slots. Most gambling machines, including slots and poker, are played out by only 1 player at a time and don’t require the constant supervision of casino workers to operate. Casino games such as blackjack, craps, baccarat, roulette, bingo, bop, etc. require the dynamic participation of at least two members.
There are various casino game types and they are divided further into two groups: video slots and electronic slot machines. Slots are comprised of three or more card tables, which rotate around a central location, receive coins inserted into their slot, and disburse the winnings from those coins. Electronic slot machine games operate on a similar principle except they use a built-in circuit and electronic devices to generate spins rather than traditional cards inserted in to the slot. Video slots can be found at most casinos.
Baccarat is really a casino game with four variants: live, semi-live, and bonus offer baccarat. With its live version, participants take turns attempting to win a jackpot until someone wins and takes it from the pot. The final variation, bonus baccarat, is equivalent to regular baccarat with the exception that players are permitted to opt never to stake money on a bet if the current line does not favor them. As in most types of casino games, people can switch from one variation to some other without taking their money out of your pot. This ensures that they can adapt their ways of various scenarios.
There are two other casino game types that are closely related to cards. One slots, which is also called “odds and bells” or “penny-whore” machines. They’re considered games of chance because of their randomness. Slots are closely linked to casino games with their very random outcomes. Another is digital roulette, which is very popular in European casinos. It is another form of slots but rather of randomly chosen spins on a wheel, it runs on the computer program that performs the spins.
All three of these casino game categories have something in common. They’re games of chance with a little element of skill involved. The skill that is applied in any one of them depends largely on how well the player can find out what numbers come after that on the baccarat wheel. If the player will be able to make accurate predictions or not really relies on their knowledge of the game.
Slots and blackjack are undoubtedly the two hottest casino games in the world. Even though card games like blackjack and baccarat are a 더킹 카지노 many more popular, they still take into account a huge percentage of overall earnings at many casinos around the world. Every single variation of every has its loyal fans and most experts agree that there surely is an endless quantity of fun to be had in every one variation.
Another casino game that is growing in level of popularity is keno. This is the sport played in slot casinos in addition to every other casino game environment. The reason why keno is such a popular game is not hard to find, it’s simple and easy to learn.
Every casino game has a particular design and that is because that casino really wants to maximize their profits. This is why they employ every possible legal means to do that. One of those legal means is by using software companies to greatly help them create legal ways for them to do just that. There are a lot of software companies on the market who focus on game creation. These software businesses will generally be licensed by the casinos to produce a particular game. Utilizing the software companies they are able to create legal variations of every single casino game achievable.

What are NHS Health Checks?
A 20-30-minute health checkup that aims to help lower your risk of four common but often preventable diseases: heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease. Everyone is at some risk of developing these four diseases. But by identifying that risk early and taking steps to reduce it can improve the chance of maintaining or improving health as we get older.
Adults in England aged between 40 and 74 are eligible to have their NHS Health Checks once every 5 years provided, they haven’t already been diagnosed with any of those four diseases.
Benefits of NHS Health Checks
- Being Overweight
- Lack Of Exercise
- High Blood Pressure
- High Cholesterol.
Both men and women are susceptible to develop these conditions and having one could increase the risk of developing another in the future.
Once the NHS Health Check has identified the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes or kidney disease over the next 10 years, the wellness coaches can help to find what can be done to reduce the risk. That may mean lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, eating a healthier and balanced diet, stop smoking, cutting down on alcohol, or increasing the amount of physical activity.

AbstractSeagrass beds are highly productive and valuable habitats, which fulfill a key role in coastal ecosystems. Spatial distribution, biomass, density, productivity and leaf dynamics of the dominant seagrass species Thalassia testudinum were studied at five locations in the Gandoca-Manzanillo National Wildlife Refuge, Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, from November 2005 until March 2006. Seagrass beds within the study area cover approximately 16 ha. Spatial and temporal differences in ecological seagrass parameters were examined along gradients of riverine inputs and related to a range of environmental parameters (depth, grain size distribution, nutrient concentrations, salinity and temperature). Average canopy cover and above-ground biomass of T. testudinum inversely correlated with depth, but did not vary significantly between study sites when compared along depth ranges. Considerable spatio-temporal variations in shoot densities, areal productivity and leaf sizes seem to be related to riverine inputs and wave energy. It appeared that T. testudinum at exposed sites respond to increased environmental disturbance related to the offset of the rainy season with clonal recruitment, whereby shoot densities increase and average leaf sizes are reduced. Lower shoot densities and greater leaf sizes, in contrast, are characteristic for locations with rather consistent environmental conditions, where seagrasses are sheltered. T. testudinum in the refuge has higher shoot densities but shorter leaves and lower productivity compared to sites in 15 other Caribbean countries. The seagrass beds appear to be in a relatively healthy state, however, observations of temporal increased stocks of filamentous epiphytes and macroalgae indicate temporal environmental stress in the system.

“We have 70,000 gray passports when you look at the Estonia, i have 80,100000 Russian owners inside the Estonia,” Narva indigenous Margarita Kallo advised Laanet from the Tartu University’s Narva University. “We see it while the a large disease, firstly getting Estonia, for the protection.”
Adopting the Soviet field, the latest Estonian government grabbed a difficult line with the owners recognized as having been imported because of the USSR to be effective throughout the Baltic state’s industries – and you will chose to want expertise in the Estonian code to get Estonian citizenship.

Roughly a 4th out-of Estonia’s populace of just one.step three billion was Russian speakers.
Ten weeks immediately after Vladimir Putin’s Russia released the conflict toward Ukraine, a cautious Cover Minister Laanet stressed the importance of staying all of the out-of Estonia’s customers joined no matter what the vocabulary or ethnicity, adding that combat in the Ukraine could justify “studying the question in different ways.”

A change when you look at the beliefs
Simmering mistrust between Estonian and Russian speakers enjoys starred call at Narva for a long period.

In the third-biggest city in Estonia, of several when you look at the Narva has tended to take a closer look to their near neighbor towards east rather than this new Estonian money – regardless of if residents don’t want to come back to Russia, sometimes.

Confederations Cup: Fernando Torres leads Spain in rout of Tahiti
The winning margin was the largest in a Confederations Cup match.

Share via Email
RIO DE JANEIRO—In a one-sided match at the Confederations Cup, World Cup winner Spain routed the Pacific islanders from Tahiti 10-0 on Thursday — a result that wasn’t as bad as some had suggested beforehand.
Tahiti coach Eddy Etaeta said he feared Spain might score 15 or 20. Still, the winning margin was the largest in a Confederations Cup match. The previous record margin was six, when Brazil beat Saudi Arabia 8-2 in 1999 and when Brazil beat Australia 6-0 in 1997.
Fernando Torres, who missed a penalty late in the match, scored four goals. David Villa added three goals, David Silva had two and Juan Mata had one.

Who would have thought that drones can now be used on the battlefield.
Drones have come in handy since the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
On 27 October 2022, Ukraine stated:
In just two days, the Russian army has dispatched more than 30 “Witness-136” suicide drones, of which 23 were shot down by the Ukrainian army.
Of course, not only Russia unilaterally dispatched drones, but Ukraine also dispatched drones.
Don’t underestimate the drone, whether it is commercial or military, whether it is powerful or not, it is now making a name for itself in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
But it also has a certain impact on the development of drones.
The experience of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine shows that the development of drones is facing a huge crisis
Since March, there have been frequent reports in the news between Russia and Ukraine that drones have appeared and caught the other side by surprise.
How powerful are drones?
Since it can be achieved “unknown” , clearly see the other side’s picture.
Even if you hide, it can’t hide, it can clearly record who is where.
The most important point is that it is difficult to detect, and even radar can hardly detect it, which means that its stealth performance is very good.
The reason why the drone is called a drone is that it does not require human pilots, and it shuttles through the air with its own “petite” body.
Not to mention the vision of drones, if it is not for good vision, it will not be on the battlefield at all.
The main point is: good quality and cheap!
You can buy a lot of drones and use them in combat without much capital at all.
But now used by Russia and Ukraine, the development of drones may face a crisis.
There will even be energy shortages, etc., because it has attracted research and development in various countries.
Here, countries will be scrambling to seize the opportunity.
It seems that another “commercial secret” has been found that may even reduce casualties in future operations. As long as a drone flies into the air of the other party and monitors it.
And just recently, it was reported that India is secretly developing a model of a stealth unmanned combat aircraft.
what does that mean?
The realization of “stealth” of UAVs will become the focus of research in the following countries
Of course, not only India, but also other countries such as my country and the United States are also focusing on research on drones.
Combination of modern stealth technology and drone technology;
A new type of stealth UAV has been formed.
It has good characteristics and has significantly improved in stealth performance, survivability, and combat capabilities .
What function does it have here?
The most important work of stealth technology is to improve the ability of anti-radar detection;
Even under radar detection, it can achieve stealth well and will not be detected.
Another important work of UAV stealth technology is to improve the ability of anti-infrared detection;
That is to reduce the infrared signal characteristics of the target.
In fact, the drone was only a supporting role on the battlefield at the beginning, but now it has become the protagonist of the battlefield. This change is really too big.
Let’s take a look!
How powerful are drones around the world?
Comparison of UAVs in the United States, Russia and China
United States – MQ-9 “Reaper” UAV;
Powered by a 900-horsepower turboprop engine, the drone can fly three times faster than the Predator, reaching 480 kilometers per hour.
Its main task is to provide ground support, and if something is wrong, they can also fire at any time.
Yes, there are 6 more places to put bombs on the drone.
As of March 2008, the U.S. military used the “Reaper” UAV to carry “Hairfa” air-to-ground missiles and 500-pound laser-guided bombs to strike 16 targets in Afghanistan.
From here, we can see that this UAV in the United States is very ferocious, and it can even hit the target with precision.
Russia – S-70 “Hunter” drone;
The UAV uses an F100-PW-220U engine, which has strong stealth performance. In order to highlight the stealth effect, a flat tail nozzle is installed.
The drone’s internal bomb bay can carry 2.8 tons of weapons and ammunition.
The most important point is that in terms of speed, it reaches 1000 kilometers per hour, surpassing most drones.
China – “Falcon” UAV;
It is billed as “the king of the drone world” and uses a jet engine.
The maximum speed can reach more than 700 kilometers per hour, and the battery life is 20 hours.
It uses a flatter design with an absorbing coating on the surface to minimize radar reflections.
It can carry 12 missiles of various types at one time, and can carry out fast and precise strikes on ultra-long-distance targets.
U.S. and Russian drones, who is better?
The take-off weight is incomparable. The former has a maximum take-off weight of 4.5 tons, while the latter has a maximum take-off weight of 22.15 tons.
In terms of speed, the two are also different, the number of the former is less than half of the latter.
Of course both have their advantages and disadvantages.
Who is better for UAVs in China and the United States?
In September 2022, my country’s “Falcon” UAV not only completed a new technological breakthrough, but also won a large overseas order of 1 billion yuan.
In terms of endurance, China’s “Falcon” UAV directly crushed the American MQ-9 “Reaper” UAV.
However, the engine used in our country is different from that in the United States. This engine in our country can fly faster and have a wider combat radius.
Compared with the engine in the United States, this engine in our country has good properties.
Of course, this UAV in the United States also has its own charm.
Who is better in Chinese and Russian drones?
In terms of speed, we are slightly inferior to Russia, of course, there are certain differences in other aspects.
In addition to the above-mentioned UAV, China’s Wing Loong series and Rainbow series are now sold overseas, ahead of Russia.
Of course, whether it is the UAVs of the United States, Russia or our country, they are still innovating, and more advanced UAVs will be developed in the future.
Well, here comes the question!
What level has my country’s drones developed?
The development of UAV equipment in China has reached the world advanced level.
Yes, that’s right!
How important are drones now?
It can not only carry out long-range strikes, but also no longer have to worry about injury to its own personnel in the future.
Of course, in addition to our country, the United States, Russia, and Iran, Israel, Turkey, Pakistan and other countries have developed their own drones.
Now UAVs not only play a big role in civilian use, but also play a big role in military use.
Of course, even if we have reached the world’s advanced level, we must continue to develop and innovate.
Because we still have a lot of room for development in this regard , and what we have to do is to constantly surpass ourselves and move towards the forefront of technology!
Although the achievements of our country’s drones are already very good, we need to achieve better standards.
Only by moving forward can we continue to make breakthroughs and make technology develop faster!
It won’t be long before our country’s drones will usher in a new breakthrough.
Let’s wait and see!

Lake Station Mayor Keith Soderquist's trial continued Tuesday as federal attorneys connected various pieces of evidence to tie withdrawals from his campaign fund and the city's food pantry to dozens of gambling trips.
FBI Special Agent Nathan Holbrook and Assistant U.S. Attorney Philip Benson went through 56 cell phone calls made from November 2011 through November 2012 that tracked the general location of the mayor and his wife, Deborah Soderquist. Some of the calls were made in the same area and time of ATM withdrawals from either Soderquist's campaign account or the Lake Station Food Pantry account.
For instance, one call made on Nov. 21, 2011, was placed in Lake Station five minutes before a withdrawal was made in the city, according to the records.
Records showed these withdrawals were all made within 24 hours of a trip to Four Winds Casino in New Buffalo, Mich., and roughly half were made within two hours of a trip.
The rest of the calls were all made from New Buffalo, and around the same time that casino cards opened in the Soderquists' names showed activity. Records from a large number of the casino trips also showed that the Soderquists used their player cards to enter the Copper Lounge, which requires photo identification.
The Soderquists are accused of using money from his campaign fund and the food pantry to pay for more than 50 gambling trips, mostly to Four Winds.
Earlier in the day, Steve Martinez, a criminal investigator for the IRS, testified under cross-examination by defense attorney Scott King that the IRS gave the Soderquists credit for all of the receipts they turned over for campaign expenses that had not been reported on campaign finance disclosure forms without trying to determine whether they were legitimate campaign expenses. Even factoring out money from these receipts, he said, there was still $16,908 withdrawn from the account that had not been accounted for.
"We found a large amount of money coming out of the bank account," he said.
The Soderquists have said they paid themselves money from the campaign fund as reimbursement for previous loans.
Martinez testified that the couple did record making some loans to the mayor's campaign fund and then paying the loans back over time. However, these reported loans did not account for any of the $16,908 taken out in withdrawals, he said, and the Soderquists never reported any other loans being made to the campaign fund.
The government also introduced evidence to dispute claims by King and his fellow defense attorney, Lakeisha Murdaugh, that the Soderquists had to help the food pantry financially after bad floods hit the city in September 2008. Records from a bank account in the name of Lake Station Flood Victims that was opened just two days after the floods hit the city show that $2,236 was deposited into the account in the first six weeks after it was created.
No money was withdrawn from the account until March 2010, 18 months later, when all of the money was transferred to the Lake Station Food Pantry account.
The trial, which started last week, is expected to continue Wednesday.

La Verne falls to 3-12-0 overall and 2-9-0 in the SCIAC. CMS improves to 11-5-1 and 8-2-1.
Laynee Laube got the Athenas on the board in the 24th minute and it turned out to be enough. Laube was released with a pass over the top, eluded a couple of defenders and got off an off balance shot that Hanien Samara got a piece of. But the ball hit the right post, rolled across the goal to the left post and deflected in.
After being outshot, 11-2, and allowing the opening goal, La Verne came out of the break with a renewed purpose and dominated the play in the second half. The Leopards attacked CMS defense from all angles and got into the attacking third with ease but just could not find the finishing move.
The Leopards really put on the pressure in the middle of the half as they drew four corner kicks and launched four shots in a span of 10 minutes. But the Athenas seemed to get a piece of almost every shot and pass in and around the box and weathered the storm.
With the Leopards pushing up late, Katelyn Faust scored the insurance marker in the 82nd minute for the Athenas.
Samara started the first game of her collegiate career and made six saves in one half of action.
The Leopards are back in action on Saturday at Cal Lutheran.

Dawn in the Stockholm Archipelago as we approached the capital of Sweden.
Inside the Stockholm Cathedral, interesting red brick columns and ribbing.
They had this neat suspended prayer candle globe at the back.
More nice ceilings - every church we visited on this Baltic tour had a totally different style/color palette; it was amazing.
At the front, above the silver and ebony altar:
On the Stockholm waterfront, this hotel was flying seven flags. From left to right: USA, Finland, Norway, Sweden (in the middle), Denmark, Germany and the UK. Of these, we visited the 2nd, 4th, 5th, & 6th on this cruise, and we come from the first, we lived two years in the last, and that leaves only the 3rd as the odd one out - we need to get to Norway sometime. Haven't been there yet.
And evening falls around 10pm as we sail away from Sweden towards Germany.

Sam Harris is one of author i strongly disagree with. First of all, he dismissed all religion with a broad brush. Second, he has repeatedly attacked Judeo-Christian- Islam tradition specificaly to gain attention.
So imagine my surprise that this book lays out the foundation of his belief that some form of spirituality is useful, especially meditiation. I find his science dubious, but his approach insightful.
If you are interested in being more spiritual as an atheist, this is the book for you. If you are insterested in history of mind-body-dualism, this is also the book for you

In this parking lot, dozens of campers — sans electricity or sewer hookups — have been staying overnight for weeks, sometimes months at a time.
A huge influx of new workers into the booming oil state has led to a dearth of housing, and an assortment of "man camps" have emerged as an alternative. Despite paychecks topping $100,000 for some people, development in Williston is lagging too far behind the rush to accommodate so many new residents.
Walmart said that the cons had outweighed the pros in being good neighbors to the oil transients. The company claimed to be receiving reports of women scared to enter the lot, and of some customers avoiding the store altogether rather than braving the campers.
Anyone remaining in the lot by tomorrow will be towed by Williston police.

Hundreds of people across the United States have offered to open up their homes to the Central American asylum seekers traveling with the "migrant caravan" that President Donald Trump has been determined to stop from entering the country, organizers have told Newsweek.
Jess Morales Rocketto, chairperson of We Belong Together, an immigration campaign launched by the National Domestic Worker Alliance, said as many as 200 people from several states, including North Dakota, South Dakota, Missouri and Virginia, are prepared to offer shelter in their homes.
The asylum seekers, who started their weeks-long journey from southern Mexico to the U.S. late last month, are currently in Tijuana. They are preparing to make their way to the U.S. border on Sunday, where they will make their asylum claims.
Rocketto said she was "startled" by the outpouring of support from people across the U.S. who are "willing to open their homes to strangers."
"It's been really heartening," Rocketto said.
Grace Aheron, who lives in Charlottesville, Virginia, said she plans to offer shelter in her home for "as long as it takes."
“These people who are coming are leaving behind such incredible circumstances of violence and fear and they are sacrificing so much,” Aheron told Newsweek. “It felt like the least we could do would be to give them a soft place to land.”
Aheron said that she felt it was “important to give refugees proper hospitality in the U.S. and a safe place to be in light of all the rhetoric that’s going around.” She said much of that rhetoric was coming from the president, but added that while his administration has been a "canary in the coal mine... President Trump is not speaking into a vacuum."
Living in Charlottesville, Aheron said she has watched anti-immigrant sentiments in the local community grow over the last two years.
Tensions in the Virginia city came to a head last August when a rally largely organized by white supremacists, protesting the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee from Emancipation Park, turned deadly after a man rammed a car into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer.
"[Charlottesville] kind of feels like Ground Zero for white supremacy," Aheron said. "We've been trying to fight it on all fronts and welcoming these people here feels like a way to push back from people who want to have this white ethno-state... white supremacists, essentially."
She said she wanted asylum seekers to know "what you are doing is an incredibly brave thing. I'm sorry that it is so hard and that people in my country are making it so hard."
"I want you to know we are fighting for you on the other side and waiting with open arms for you once you get here. I wish there was more we could do," Aheron said.
Rocketto said her campaign has been interviewing potential hosts and asylum seekers to ensure the "people that are opening their homes will be safe" and to "ensure the refugees will be safe as well."
However, Aheron said her household is not not concerned "at all," adding that she lives in a Christian community home, where guests are welcomed all the time.
"These people are leaving such incredible circumstances," she said. "I can't imagine what it must be like to risk so much and to leave home and leave the place where your family is, so we're ready to support and welcome these people for as long as it takes."
As many as 130 asylum seekers are expected to start arriving at the U.S. border on Sunday. Many are fleeing from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras in fear of threats from gangs, attacks on their families and political persecution. Hondurans, in particular, have left their country to escape the instability and violence that has followed the contested reelection of President Juan Orlando Hernández.
While the caravan is an annual event that typically takes place around Easter to raise awareness of the plight of asylum seekers, in previous years it has been largely symbolic, with most participants marching in Mexico, rather than making it all the way to the U.S. border.
This year has been different, however, with participants determined to make the journey to the U.S. to claim asylum.
While migrants do have the right to request asylum in the U.S., Trump has railed against the caravan, vowing to stop those traveling with it from entering the country.
The group, which at one point swelled to include as many as 1,500 people, has dwindled in numbers after the U.S. leader repeatedly called for Mexican authorities to take action and break up the caravan and ordered thousands of National Guard troops to be sent the U.S.-Mexico border to monitor the situation.
Migrants do have the right to request asylum in the U.S. and should not be turned away by border officials unless they fail to pass initial security screenings.
However, Alex Mensing, a spokesperson for Pueblo Sin Fronteras–the immigration advocacy group that organized the caravan–told Newsweek last Friday that a number of migrants who arrived at the border earlier this month were "illegally turned away by border officials" upon trying to request asylum.
U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen said earlier this week that her agency would be monitoring the caravan and warned that the U.S. would prosecute anyone who tried to enter the country illegally, as well as anyone who tries to make a "false immigration claim."

Q&A with McLarens Lewis Hamilton 31 Aug 2012
The summer break has come and gone and there is no confirmed news on a contract between Lewis Hamilton and McLaren for 2013. That is neither here nor there at Spa this weekend. All that matters to Hamilton is getting the best out of an updated car around a circuit that he loves
Q: Lewis, it was an interesting start to the weekend
Lewis Hamilton: Guys, youve seen yourself how it was today. It was incredibly wet, there was a lot of aquaplaning and a lot of rivers on the track which you had to try to avoid. There was no sense in bolting around today other than to see if your updates work on the car, so we just did a couple of installation laps. We also saw if the tyres would switch on.
Q: Did the tyres switch on and did the updates work?
LH: We had some difficulties in the beginning with our rear wing, which is for here and for Monza. Everybody could see that we had to make some modifications to make it work perfectly and in the end it did. But of course we will have to see tomorrow how good it really is.
Q: Isnt it very challenging to only run for one dry session before going into qualifying - especially after a four-week break?
LH: Of course that is a challenge, but everybody is in the same boat so it will be very interesting to see who is able to find the best set-up after only a couple of laps. I hope that our simulator will have helped us so that we are the best prepared under such conditions.
Q: It must be pretty intense to go out on such a high-speed track like Spa in these conditions?
LH: I think people always expect us to have a racing heart but believe me we dont. It is not so hectic as in the dry, so for the short period it was really exciting out there. I enjoyed every lap that I did today. And there was something to learn even if tomorrow and on Sunday it will very likely be dry. Spa is even sensational in these conditions when the speed is significantly slower.
Q: Nine races over 13 weeks is a tight schedule
LH: The second part of this season will be the most intense part, as there are a lot of back-to-back races, which puts a lot of stress on the mechanics of the team in particular. They have to strip the car down and rebuild it and then strip it back down to move it around to another location. Also we will be away from our families. In the end the best team will most likely deal the best with these facts.
Q: We have two high-speed tracks coming up. How well will the McLaren perform?
LH: Our car has been performing quite well in high-speed corners throughout the year so far. We have rather struggled in the medium and low-speed corners. So I hope that these tracks will suit our car.
Q: Pirelli have slightly changed their tyres. Will this affect how you set up your car for this race?
LH: Of course this will affect how long the tyres will last, and I will have to take a look at last years strategy again. The ambient temperature is quite low here, plus the tyres are quite hard, which makes it more difficult to switch them on. I would say it is a lottery and I can make no prediction on how this will affect our car.
Q: How do you feel the summer break has benefited the team as a whole?
LH: I think it is great that everyone had to take a break, especially the mechanics and engineers who could revitalize and charge up their batteries. For me as a driver it is also a relief to know that everyone is having holidays and that I dont need to feel guilty if I take a week off sometime during the season, knowing that everyone is working. Also it was not bad for us as a team to go into the summer break having won the last Grand Prix before our holidays. But then again once you are relaxing you also forget about these things and then you just switch off. I havent thought about Formula One for weeks and I guess this is about the same for everyone. I started my training for this season mid December 2011 and ever since then I have been flat out working to be in good shape. So once a year it is very healthy to be able to just relax.
Q: How does it feel to drive a Formula One car at this special circuit?
LH: This circuit is massively smooth, as it is such a high-speed track and very exhilarating. This is a very flowing circuit, where you have to get up to speed very early on. You have to switch from an aggressive driving style to a rather smooth one to be able to be quick here.
Q: Last year Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull Racing were dominant. Is it a relief for you to see that they are not that dominant again in 2012?
LH: For me it is more positive to see that Formula One is still so competitive and that many drivers are able to win races. We say it almost every year that the current season is the most competitive so far, and it is good to see that we can say this again this year. I hope this will also be the same for the future.
Q: Michael Schumacher will celebrate his 300th race here in Spa. What do you think about this achievement?
LH: That is an incredible achievement. I have only done 100, and I cannot imagine what it would be like to do another 200. And Michael has done this during a time when Formula One did not have as many races per season as we do have now. So it means he has been around for quite some time. Also this year he has set the time for the pole position in Monaco, which means he is still competitive. It is good to see that he still has the enthusiasm and determination to continue racing.
