It may not have been a pristine performance, but the Camarillo football showed enough fortitude to hold off a resilient Rio Mesa team for a 28-17 win Friday night at Camarillo High.
Camarillo (1-0) led 21-7 with 7:37 left in the third quarter, only to see Rio Mesa pull within four, 21-17, on a 27-yard field goal from Steve Sanchez.
Camarillo, relying on the steady legs of running back Aaron Lamb, ran off 5 minutes of game time late in the fourth quarter, culminating with a 3-yard touchdown run from the senior.
"It's just like most high school teams at this point — we're a work in progress but it's nice to see us deal with some adverse situations, keep our cool and just keep trying to play," Camarillo coach Jack Willard said.
Lamb completed his night with 144 yards rushing on 25 carries. Lamb, who takes over for the graduated Isaiah Otis, had to muscle his way to tough yards against a stout Rio Mesa defensive front.
"I was impressed with Rio Mesa's defensive front and I thought they attacked us pretty well," Willard said.
Camarillo is coming off a memorable 2015 season. The Scorpions won the CIF-Southern Section Northern Division championship, 55-27 over Thousand Oaks, before falling 16-13 to Del Oro in the Division II-AA state title game at Sacramento State University.
The Scorpions are making their encore with a largely new cast of players.
The new group features Jonah Cottrell, a guard on the Camarillo boys basketball team, who made his debut for the football team Friday night at wide receiver and caught four passes for 48 yards.
In the second quarter, he took a pass from quarterback Jake Moss and weaved his way through the defense for a 14-yard score and a 14-7 Camarillo lead going into halftime.
"(Cottrell) adds versatility," Moss said. "He's tall (at 6-foot-3). I threw that ball to him and he caught it with his fingertips and still scored and got in the end zone."
"He is just a fantastic kid. He fits in so well with our guys," he said. "It's like he's always (been) part of the football program."
Rio Mesa (0-1) showed potential with its willingness to go to the air early and often. Quarterback Austin Maciel completed 20 of 52 passes for 267 yards.
Maciel helped guide the Spartans to the game's first score after Camarillo turned it over at its own 26. Maciel found Mike Flores for a 28-yard catch to the Scorpions' 4. Two plays later, Dylan Rusch ran in the 3-yard score for an early 7-0 lead.
Rusch had six carries for 34 yards.
OOOOOhhhhh! That looks so cute! Thanks for the cute new sleeve!

A graceful design reminiscent of caligraphy, this gong captures the romance and splendor of the Far East.
Nothing has the ability to transport us to another time and place quite like the brilliant resonance of a gong. For over a thousand years, gongs of various types have played an important role in both the religious and secular music of many Asian cultures. Gongs were sounded to chase away evil spirits, warn of invading armies, heal the sick and invoke the spirits of the dead. To be touched by a gong was said to bring happiness and strength. Today, this revered instrument of warriors, emperors, princes and priests adds a special aura to any setting. Handcrafted using traditional methods, Woodstock Gongs bring the ancient wonders of the Far East home.
The frequency dependences of the reflection coefficients at gradual step-down axisymmetric defects were experimentally evaluated for the investigation of the reflection phenomena of the T(0,1) mode guided waves. Different frequency dependences were observed depending on the axial profile of the defect. A mathematical model using the characteristic acoustic impedance for calculating the reflection coefficients at axisymmetric defects was introduced. The reflection coefficients for the gradual step-down axisymmetric defects were confirmed to be in good agreement with the calculation results. By utilizing the mathematical model, a reflection mechanism was explained precisely and was verified. An inverse problem analysis for estimating the shape of an axisymmetric defect was also proposed based on the experimental reflection coefficients as a function of frequency together with the calculation model. Experimental verification of the proposed estimation method was performed using circular concave axisymmetric defects inside pipe specimens. The estimation results and accuracy were discussed in terms of the relation between the frequency range and the axial length of the defects.

Need sluts not in Candelaria Arenas?
Her taste made me insane with lust. Ele era moreno tinha uns olhos verdes e exibia uns volumosos biceps. Lenas Zunge leckt uber meine Eier den Schaft hoch zur Eichel. They introduced themselves as Steve and Bill. My companionship are best suited for the refined gentlemen of means who sees beauty as only one factor of the equation and are seasoned enough to have learned to appreciate a relationship that goes beyond the mere physical. All you have to do is work on your Inner Game and you ll see how everything comes naturally to you. I asked Charles if he loved me. As the golden flow begins she geabs my arse pulling my in to the hilt and lets out little excited squeaks. The moment of realisation quickly passed through Lisa and her worried look quickly became a smile.
I awakened this morning feeling fresh and renewed following a night of uninterrupted sleep. What a welcome relief after several nights of wakefulness. Last night God nudged me to pray as soon as my head hit the pillow. Sweet time with Him produced deep, peaceful sleep.
Unfortunately, too often, once in bed, I give way to “thinking about things” before praying. When this happens my muscles tense and my heart beats faster and there I lie, captive to my thoughts. As stubborn eyes refuse to close, incessant mutterings in my head conjure up feelings of inadequacy, leading to dark and dangerous places.
For years we have longed to share Hawaii with our extended family. Our love of the big island begged to be shared with loved ones. Our grandkids’ flight from the nest in a few short years would make fulfilling this notion more challenging. We just needed a little boost to begin turning our dream into a reality. Marking my in-laws’ sixty-five years of marriage provided just the kick to initiate plans to convert our Hawaiian dream into a family adventure.
Sixty-five years of marriage! First of all, how does one achieve over half a century of togetherness and continue to treat each other with love and respect? If you ask her, she will quickly respond, “Commitment and humor!” Yep, commitment and humor everyday to maintain a relationship that endures. He is quick to agree, adding commitment to God as number one.
Commitment has most definitely been evident, not only within their marriage, but also in their involvement in the lives of others. I have watched them care for others faithfully and unselfishly for years at a time. I have witnessed how God blessed them for their efforts. They weren’t in it for the blessings, but that is part of the surprise of a God who loves to make us happy and see us smile. It happens when we least expect it. It comes in many forms and even blesses those connected to the ones who did all the hard work. If you asked them, they would say it was blessing enough to just provide companionship and care to two elderly gentlemen who had no other family. When those two passed away, they left everything to my in-laws. I was the fortunate recipient of the Champion Juicer (way too expensive to have purchased on our meager income at the time.) What a treasure! That appliance has juiced many a Fall apple, even providing sustenance from the peels and pulp form my mulch pile. The pure enjoyment experienced by our family year round from those mason jars of frozen juice gives me pleasure to think about. Oh, the simple joys!
Speaking of simple–these in-laws of mine tend to lead lives of simplicity. People of their generation, those who endured the Great Depression, continue in their frugal ways, even decades later. What to us would seem rather unappealing and cheap, to them is appetizing and adequate. They shudder at the cost of a single entrée at a “restaurant with a view” in Kona. Even when they aren’t paying, they have difficulty finding true enjoyment in such extravagance. They are more than happy with our three-day-old grilled hamburger patties, deemed inedible by most of us.
They are appreciative of the simple things and show that appreciation by telling you so. On the evening they left for the airport, my father-in-law, already weary from the late hour, came back because he forgot to personally thank me for all I did to make the week such a success.
Their great-grandkids surprised them with a card (complete with signatures and drawings from little hands to big hands) everyday for six days. No gifts of stuff (they will tell you they have enough of that), just simple cards. Those Dollar Store cards containing such sweet sentiments brought immense joy and tears of gratitude flowed easily.
The grueling trip to Hawaii and back home for these two, whose energy levels are far from what they used to be, was not easy. They are proud to say that they did it and feel extremely blessed to have done so. I’m sure our family would tell you that we are far more blessed for the opportunity to have honored this amazing couple known to all of us as Nonnie and Poppie.
What a glorious time of year! Here in the Texas Hill Country, it hardly qualifies as Fall, compared to the ones our family knew and loved for twenty four years in Northern New Mexico.
Ahhh….. How well I remember the sights, sounds, and feel of Fall in Los Alamos!
The tall, slender Aspen trees on the ski hill, golden leaves rustling in the wind, displaying their grandeur, invited those willing to take a break from daily routine.
The air at over 8000 feet was brisk, even in September. Calmness flooded my soul as I sat on the deck of the lodge with a thermos of hot chocolate and a good book. The icing on the cake was watching the kids run up the grassy hill and roll down, pausing occasionally to examine one of God’s wonders that piqued their interest. Too soon this hill would be bustling with people, decked out with snow gear; some daring, ready to tackle the most difficult hill, while others, content to ski the bunny hill. But before the snow completely blanketed the slopes, I took advantage of soaking fup all the quiet, peace, and beauty that Fall brings to this special place.
Already, this year, in early October there is snow on the mountain top and a dusting on the ground. The Aspens, peaking out between the Evergreens, put on quite a show.
The sweet aroma of roasting green chile (we call it the nectar of the gods!) at the Thursday farmer’s market wafted through the air as I strolled down each aisle, lingering at my favorite stands. I sampled green chili jelly, hot apple cider, mango salsa. Yum! Inevitably I encountered friends, so it was important to allow time for a chat. In a small town you can’t go anywhere that you don’t see a familiar face.
Oh, and I always had to buy a chile ristra for my doorpost.
Even in August, evenings might find us sharing home-made ice cream around a fire pit with friends. Getting too far from the fire would nearly always guarantee the shivers.
And then there’s the apples! What’s Fall without apples?! Eating apples, sweet and crisp, and baking apples with just enough tartness to make a good pie, were ready for picking by the end of September. Apple trees, preferring cool weather, grew well there. Since we had no apple trees in our yard, the elderly woman across the street generously allowed us to pick from her three trees. I canned, dried, froze, and juiced. Peels and pulp from juicing provided nourishment for worms in the outdoor compost pile.
A large box dehydrator made its home in the dining room during this season, providing both warmth and divine apple fragrance (to rival Bath and Body Works Fall air fresheners any day.) Using our hand crank apple peeler/corer, much faster than using a knife, allowed us to process through many more apples in a day. This handy device provided lots of family fun and is a tradition that continues with our grandkids.
Now, in mid-November, it finally feels like Fall in the Texas air, at least in the early mornings and late evenings, but not much evidence in the leaves or our 75 degree days. The Red Oak, one of the only local oak trees to lose its leaves, barely has a hint of yellow in its treetop.
As I sat around an evening fire pit this past weekend with friends…….
And as I take in the sweet smell of roasting chiles in front of HEB…….
And as I smell apples baking…….
If I close my eyes real tight and use my imagination I can almost feel like I am transported back in time to Northern New Mexico, experiencing the sights, sounds, and feel of “real” Fall.
Stepping into a new season, be it seasons of weather or seasons of life, brings new changes. Not all are as glorious as those New Mexico Falls, but I am grateful for an unchanging God Who walks with me through it all.
Once you have an e-commerce website that is performing well in one country – let’s say it’s the UK – you’d be surprised just how easy it is to replicate that success overseas. Opening your business up to new markets through e-commerce translation is an excellent way to boost sales and increase your bottom line.
If you plan on moving into another English-speaking market then you’ll still need to make some cultural adjustments to your site. By simply taking a look at a few e-commerce sites in the UK and the US, you will see just how big a difference there is. But what if you want to expand into a new market in the EU, or perhaps China or India?
Studies have shown that people prefer to buy products online in their own language. In fact, 72 percent of consumers admit they are more likely to make a purchase once they have obtained information about a product in their mother tongue.
Given this native-language bias, what can you do to ease the transition of your e-commerce website into non-English-speaking markets?
Furthermore, finding a hosting solution in the local market will provide you with an IP address that will help your site appease the search engines’ local bias.
Maintaining your e-commerce website becomes increasingly difficult as you add more languages to your site. The key is to use a content management system (CMS) that is ‘global-ready’ so it can streamline updates across multiple languages and maintain a smooth workflow. A CMS that is compatible with Unicode support will allow you to add all characters in every language so your e-commerce translation goes without a hitch.
With multiple languages spoken in many countries around the world, you’d be wise to provide a drop-down menu that allows customers to choose the language they want to buy in. That puts them in control of their shopping experience right from the start. Automatic language selectors based on IP addresses restrict customers and could cost you the sale.
It’s not only the languages that are spoken that differs between markets. Everything from sizing and measurements to currencies and the format of dates need to be taken into account. Similarly, product images should be carefully considered. While certain images might be appropriate in Western markets (for example, pictures of women in short sleeves), they will be completely inappropriate in the Middle East.
There are a number of translation apps and automation tools out there, but if you really want your translation to strike a chord with your local audience, it’s essential that you hire a professional translator. The translator will ensure that everything from the metadata to the product descriptions and key messages are not just translated but are localised to meet the preferences of a local audience.
Google penalises websites for inaccurate translations, and customers will not buy from a site that doesn’t ring true, so opt for a professional translator every time.
Here at Linguistica International, we work with a team of 200 mother-tongue translators that deliver word-perfect translations to give your e-commerce store the global edge. Email info@linguistica-international.com or give us a call on 02392 987 765 to discuss your requirements.
What should Quality Control in Translation Look Like?
The quality of any translated material is extremely important. We all know how quickly we dismiss a company or brand with mistakes in its marketing materials, whether it’s their website, brochures or articles. Additionally, the repercussions of mistakes in legal, medical and technical documents can be severe. But when you don’t speak the target language, how can you judge the quality of the translation agency’s work?
It might surprise you to know that there are objective quality standards in the translation industry, such as EN 15038, just as there are in manufacturing, professional services and many other sectors. These quality standards show that the techniques and processes are in place for the translation agency to deliver accurate work that’s delivered on time and within budget.
All translators check and double-check their own work. That includes the spelling and grammar and referring to outside resources like style guides and terminology glossaries where necessary. Factual accuracy, readability and the tone of the piece must also be just right before the translation passes to the next stage of the quality assurance process.
A second professionally qualified translator and native speaker with industry-specific knowledge will proofread the translation. The original translator can miss errors due to their over-familiarity with their work. That’s why asking an independent proofreader to take a fresh look at the copy can make a big difference to the accuracy of the final document.
Editors go a level deeper than proofreaders. They look at linguistic issues like style and fluency as well as technical issues such as consistency, the use of industry-specific abbreviations and the all-important feel of the content. This is essential to ensure the text will make a mark within the target industry.
All translations have to be delivered within budget, so this is not a step we’ll take for every translation. However, the process of back translation does provide an extra layer of quality control for high-value content.
This process asks a brand new translator to convert the newly translated document back into its original language. The back translation and the original source document can then be compared to make sure every word is a perfect match or conveys the same meaning.
We build long-lasting relationships with our clients and hope to become their trusted translation partner. That makes this final stage essential. Liaising with the client, the translation project manager provides feedback to the original translator, proofreader and editor to discuss any terminology preferences the client has, and identifies areas they can improve in the future.
While a lone freelance translator might be highly skilled and meticulous, they can never compete with the peace of mind you receive from a leading translation agency with a multi-stage quality control process. That’s just one of the reasons why clients like Santander, Manchester United and Orange keep on coming back to Linguistica International.
To discuss your next translation project, give us a call on 02392 987 765 or email info@linguistica-international.com today.
AutoPrice Catalog Publishing Software Delivers!
Meadows offers many different ways to become familiar with the DesignMerge software!
For those who prefer to “fly solo”: The DesignMerge Tutorial Manual provides step-by-step instructions with screenshots and detailed descriptions of Basic and Optional features of this award-winning variable data publishing extensions software for QuarkXPress and for Adobe InDesign. You can find the Tutorial Manual as well as other helpful DesignMerge Documentation, all available in PDF format, in the DesignMerge product folder which the DesignMerge installer places in your system’s Applications or Program Files folder.
For those who prefer to “fly with a co-pilot”: Meadows provides several different types of web conferencing and on-site training packages, where a DesignMerge expert guides you in getting started, providing great variable data publishing tips along the way. Our expert training staff has years of experience using DesignMerge software in both Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress, and can find answers to any questions you may have.
• Web conferencing training packages include: Just the Basics, Basics & Optional Features, A Refresher Course, Consulting, and Custom Job Set-Ups. Any of these web conferencing training packages can be presented as a demonstration or as a hands-on session where the trainee actually “drives” the software while the observing instructor provides the directions.
• The on-site training packages cover all features of the DesignMerge software with particular emphasis on integrating DesignMerge into your production workflow, including printing DesignMerge output on your digital print systems.
When it comes to variable data printing, we are obviously big fans of plug-in technology, as it’s been our exclusive focus for almost 16 years. But there’s another reason for our long term commitment … You, the professional digital printer that’s trying to compete, provide state-of-the-art solutions to your market, and make a profit.
With DesignMerge, you’ll be able to reach all three goals efficiently. Let’s take a closer look at DesignMerge to back up our position.
DesignMerge is a fantastic VDP tool for a large variety of VDP jobs, and has no limit on the number of records it can process. The average output speed of DesignMerge is much faster than the speed of most digital presses on the market today. However, as much as we like DesignMerge, we also feel that eventually, customers wishing to fully support VDP may ultimately wish to utilize more than one application.
For instance, if typically running VDP jobs with 50,000 or more data records, that are needed within a couple of hours, it may be necessary to look at a high-speed VDP application. While faced with some limitations, the trade-off will be that the output can be produced more quickly.
The “templated” approach to VDP addresses an entirely different segment of the market, where a VDP template is created and stored on the digital press. Then, an automated data stream is fed to the press and the entire merge and print process happens there. This approach is even more limited than using a standalone VDP application, but it does offer advantages for automated processes where the document design is relatively simple and the variable data is minimal.
DesignMerge has output drivers for several template formats, but a manufacturers code is required to install on your printing press.
Where are you at with variable data printing these days … stuck in Standaloneville or ready to move up to plug-in technology? Keep in mind your investment, both in terms of time and money, and that will lead you to the best overall decision.
Let’s look closely at some facts. Many of the desktop variable data printing products on the market today all share a common flaw, they utilize their own composition engines.
Once the fixed file is created, the user then runs a completely separate variable data printing application. Most of the standalone VDP applications are themselves page layout applications, and they provide tools that are very similar to QuarkXPress or Adobe InDesign. The user places the background form onto the page in the VDP page layout software, and this becomes the fixed portion of the document.
If you’re really interested in professional quality output, easy-to-use plug-in technology for all your marketing campaigns, an excellent return on your investment, expandable to meet your variable needs now and in the future, then join us for a free demonstration of DesignMerge, the best VDP plug-in solution on the market today.
