The Holiday with a Difference
While we know that touring is a very acceptable form of pleasure, we also know that some enjoy cycling with the comfort of a fixed base. The Fixed Based Holiday option blends the beauty of cycling with guaranteed comfort and enjoyment. To cycle alongside lagoons, enjoy historic architecture and capture the warmth of the sun adds comfort to the fact you are being cared for in very comfortable accommodation.
Many customers are already aware of the fantastic cycling opportunities in Spain and especially around the nature reserves and typically Spanish villages who boast about their relaxed hospitality.
Hotel Marian Platja*** has 145 rooms, two lifts, a swimming pool, tennis courts, evening entertainment, money exchange and each room has a phone, fridge, hairdryer, satellite T.V. and balcony, as well as its own private toilet/shower. Sea view rooms are also available as a supplement for a fantastic view of the Bay of Rosas. All rooms have been renovated and Wi-Fi is available in the Reception area. Many of our clients return and some even go twice in one year!
On arrival you will receive complimentary Sangria with a friendly Welcome Meeting from a member of the hotel staff. A detailed overview of how the Hotel Marian Platja operates is given during this time and there is the opportunity to ask questions about your stay. Some of the novel perks to the Hotel Marian include being able to swap your evening meal for a lunch if you are half board or getting your bottle of wine from the evening meal kept and named for you so that the rest can be enjoyed the following evening - that is of course unless you finish it! There is also a hotel bar open all sociable hours of the day at the front of the hotel alongside the swimming pool overlooking the Sea. The staff are excellent, offer a friendly service and will do everything they can to accommodate your requests.
We now offer Bed and Breakfast prices as well as half board. You can change at any time your evening meal for lunch time if you wish, just tell reception.
Bike Storage Facilities
The Hotel Marian Platja has two extremely secure cycling rooms (which can be seen by flicking through the image numbers at the top). The rooms are easily accessible but built into the hotel for security and are locked at all times. They also offer a compressor for quickly inflating bike tyres and bike washing facilities for the end of the day. The bike rooms are also alarmed from 21:00 to 07:00 however if you are particularly keen and want to make an early start (or even a late finish), you can arrange for the receptionist to come and let you in.
Santa Margarita - The Bay of Rosas in Spain is of particular interest as there are many interesting places within easy cycling distance. For non cyclists, the area has much to offer and it is therefore perfectly possible for an avid cyclist with a non cycling partner to both have an enjoyable time. Many customers are aware of the fantastic cycling opportunities in Spain especially around the nature reserves and typically Spanish villages boasting relaxing hospitality.
The cycling in this area is very diverse. For example, those who like to ride long distances can explore the regions of the Pyrenees Mountains or the fascinating nature reserves of Emporda where there are around 330 species of birds nesting in the area. For those who prefer short distances, Empuriabrava or Rosas is only a short ride safely along flat paths from the hotel. There is also the Bay of Canyelles only a little further afield, just beyond the far edge of the Bay of Rosas from the front of the hotel which offers a small but beautifully picturesque hidden turquoise bay. These are only a few of the many ideas for cycle routes in the area that you may well hear from the experienced Fixed Bike Express travellers!
There are some very good routes as well along quiet roads towards the French Border and through the National Park area of Cap de Creus towards Cadaques, Llanca, Portbou and the lower slopes of the Pyrenees. Your may wish to cycle south to L'Escala and through large flat areas abundant with fruit orchards. Alternatively you can see the sites inland by riding to Figueres and beyond to Banyoles and the surrounding volcanic Natural Park and then up to the Pyrenees.
As this package holiday is extremely popular, we would advise early booking.

I don't think the profanity quote should be in there. -Matoro183 (Talk) 22:37, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- I do think it should be changed, but not because of the profanity, rather, because its don't portray her personality well. At same, it is her coolest moment—The preceding unsigned comment was added by bluelantern (talk • contribs).
- I think it portrays her personality to a tee. She's always... ALWAYS... been portrayed as the loyal, loving protective mother. Lord knows I'd have reacted the same way if someone tried to kill my daughter. Hell, I have reacted violently to defend my kids before...—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs).
Confusing dates
Given Molly's date of birth, she is ten years older than the Marauders, Lily Potter, and Professor Snape. But also given everyone's years of attendance at Hogwarts, Molly would have only left school three years before the others started. That gap just doesn't add up; to me it feels it should be larger. A little help? - Cubs Fan2007 23:51, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, I don't think the year is official. JK has given us only the day and month of her birth - I think the year is conjectural. I'll do some checking, but it might have to be removed since it is not canon. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 08:31, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Bellatrix Lestrange
Should we really have a section for Molly's relationship with Bellatrix Lestrange? There's no evidence that they knew each other at all, thus statements such as "Molly Weasley always regarded Bellatrix Lestrange with the utmost amount of disgust" are entirely speculative. It's entirely possible that Molly only knew her by reputation, and hated her for her crimes and then her near-murder of Ginny. That hardly constitutes a relationship; the two were basically strangers. Oread 17:06, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
- I would tend to agree. There's little evidence she knew much about her and her reaction was mostly due to current events not to an intense brooding hatred for a long time. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 17:46, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
- I'm going to remove it then. Oread 17:10, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
Molly and her brothers
You mention that Molly was the older sister to Gideon and Fabian. Please could you give the source for this. I'm not disputing this and I believe thios true but I'd like to know where/why we believe her to have been older.
As a side note: I think it would be good if you gave source information at the end of each article and didn't assume anything which is not stated in canon or via an interview with JKR.
Headlining Quote
Hi everyone. If you want to change the quote @ the top of the page, please don't. How it is is the quote in the book, so you should talk to the Admin. Thank you and Best Wishes, Timbira!--Timbira 00:08, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Any evidence Molly was born in 1949? While there's nothing in the books that disputes this, it is entirely possible that she was the same age as the Marauders. --Parodist 22:38, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
- Bill Weasley, Molly's oldest child, was born November 29, 1970, which means Molly would've been ten when she'd had him if she was the same age as the Marauders. I don't believe there's source for her year of birth, but, in Half-Blood Prince, Ch. 5, Molly tells Ginny she thinks Bill and Fleur had rushed into their engagement, and that it reminds her of the last time Voldemort was powerful, when according to her, "people were eloping left right and centre." Ginny responds to this by saying, "Including you and Dad." This, combined with Bill's year of birth, would seem to indicate that Molly and Arthur married sometime in the late 1960s, soon after leaving Hogwarts, and that Molly was born in the 1940s. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 03:44, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
- I remember hearing that somewhere before, but since then I've seen websites such as the Harry Potter Lexicon and the like give her year of birth as 1949, 1950, and 1951. --Parodist 13:17, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
I've come to the conclusion that there isn't enough evidence to support the statement in this article that Molly was born in 1949. I think we should edit the article to say "c. 1949 or 1950," because while there's enough evidence to say she was born in the late 1940s or early 1950s, there's not enough to pinpoint an exact year. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 15:42, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
- I cant see this has come to an conclusion, yet it states 1949 on the article. Has some other evidence cam up since November, or should it be changed to c. 1950? Also, this change would also be made for Arthur weasleys page too, and is there any proof that She is older than her brothers. -- Ratneer Owl Me! 01:06, December 19, 2009 (UTC)
- Molly graduated from Hogwarts in 1968, and at some point she and Arthur got married. Their first child, Bill, was born in 1970. If she graduated from hogwarts in 1968, and she was born in October meaning she was to old to be young like Harry, it would mean she was born in 1950 right? I don't know if the fact that she graduated from Hogwarts in 1968 is right though.
--Guest 19:58, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
If Molly truly graduated in 1968, then her last year was Sept 1967-68, meaning she enrolled at Hogwarts in Sept 1961. If born Oct, 1950, she would not have gotten her letter until Summer 1962, therefore she had to have been born in 1949. Is there canon for her graduation date? Wonka2011 17:01, September 28, 2011 (UTC)
In the 4th book, Molly is interested in the whomping willow because it was not there when she went to hogwarts.
Platform 9 3/4?
I was wondering why in Philosopher's Stone does Molly ask her children what Platform she is looking for... Doesn't she know? It confused me a little. Patr0nus 10:40, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
I think she was probably testing her kids to see if they remebered, in case they ever had to make the journey alone. That's the sort of thing my parents used to do. Jayden Matthews 10:48, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
I believe Molly's clock telling her the relative safety of her family members was her own invention. It was something Dumbedore seemed to be quite aware of her owning and was impressed by it as well. This clock is not mentioned in Molly's entry. 23:35, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
now THAT'S a good one. I agree with you. --- 20:45 august 3rd 2010.
I think you should add in the Behind the scenes that she is the only one in the series that ever cursed "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!"
Arisheps 22:23, October 11, 2009 (UTC)
- Molly isn't really the only one who ever cursed; a lot of people consider hell and damn curses, just not particularly bad ones, and those are said often enough, and Aunt Marge used the word "bitch" although not in the same context. --Parodist 22:26, October 11, 2009 (UTC)
- "If their's something wrong with the bitch, there's something wrong with the pup" was the quote I believe.--RH 05:48, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
- I do not think that "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!" is a curse at all. While I am not going to check, I remember there are a few instances in which Molly Weasley performed non verbal spells. It is therefore likely for her to yell at Bellatrix Lestrange while firing at least a curse to her. Ngebendi 20:29, March 19, 2010 (UTC)
Other people say damn throughout the last 4 books and most people consider it a curse word, so no it should not be noted. --JKoch(Owl Me!) 20:35, March 19, 2010 (UTC)
Same with ron and bloody hell Philered WAS HERE! PEACE!
21:14, March 19, 2010 (UTC)
I do think that the quote at the top of the article should describe her, since its the first impression people would get of her.--Jj7362 23:43, March 21, 2010 (UTC) Yes many profanities, however mild, have been said by different characters, Morfin calls Merope a slut.--Avatar Courage
- Hermione once called Ron an arse. Butterfly the rabbit 11:11, November 29, 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, and Aberforth Dumbledore called the three Muggles that drove his sister insane "bastards". Also, in Half-Blood Prince, Morfin Gaunt called Voldemort's mother a "slut". Not sure if those could be considered swears or not, but Aberforth certainly wasn't using the word "bastards" in a proper form, if you will.... AlastorMoody 21:18, July 29, 2011 (UTC)
In response to Ngebendi, people here don't mean "curse" as in curse, they mean it as "swear" or "bad word". --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 23:20, January 2, 2013 (UTC)
It should be noted that Aunt Marge is not using "bitch" as a swear word as Molly Weasley does, but as the technical term for "female dog". In this context it is not offensive, hence I for one believe that it's not very offensive even as a swear word; it's sort of a gender-specific version of "git". — RobertATfm (talk) 21:14, January 7, 2013 (UTC)
- I would just like to add also that Danish translation breaks the two different meanings apart to two different words; "en tæve" meaning "a bitch" as in a female dog, "en møgkælling/kælling" meaning "a bitch" as in the swear word. --DCLM (talk) 12:13, July 23, 2013 (UTC)
New ImageWho agrees with this? Donut4
- I sure don't. "New Image" is dreadfully poor-quality, distorted and old (it's from HBP). "Old image", on the other hand, has good quality and a correct aspect ratio, has better lighting and is more recent. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 22:13, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
- "Old image" is a promotional shot from Deathly Hallows: Part 1. "New image" is from Half-Blood Prince. (And there's a better version of it.) As Seth pointed out, "old image" is actually more recent. - Nick O'Demus 08:59, March 6, 2011 (UTC)
- No doubt about it. "Old image" is a lot better than the so-called "new" image. MTG1989 says hello. 01:52, October 21, 2011 (UTC)
Original Order of the Pheonix
The article states several times that Molly wasn't a member of the orig order, yet her name is on the template list at the bottom. Why so? ease of clicking? It's obviously incorrect. 188.8.131.52 05:54, May 11, 2011 (UTC)
- I've deleted her name from that section in the template. It shouldn't appear there on the page now. --Cubs Fan (Talk to me) 06:16, May 11, 2011 (UTC)
Molly Prewett
Why should this page be at Molly Weasley instead of Molly Prewett. Lily was always referred to as Lily Potter after she was married, and Molly must have always been referred to as Molly Prewett before she was married. Just because Molly's never appeared in a flashback, that doesn't mean that we can't assume that she wasn't referrred to by her maiden name like Lily was.Icecreamdif 13:15, June 16, 2011 (UTC)
J.K. states that Molly is the seventh child of her family, so she must have six older siblings--but Gideon and Fabion are younger then her, so in her list of relatives shouldn't it be 6 other siblings (not 4)? Pack Alpha of Europe 22:31, July 20, 2011 (UTC)
- I don't think that reference is correct in the first place. The actual quote by JKR is "The backstory with Ginny was, she was the first girl to arrive in the Weasley family in generations, but there's that old tradition of the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter and a seventh son of a seventh son, so that's why she's the seventh, because she is a gifted witch. I think you get hints of that, because she does some pretty impressive stuff here and there, and you'll see that again." She never uses the words "seventh child of a seventh child", and you can see that Rowling is refering to Ginny as a literary character and saying why she made her the seventh Weasley child. She is talking about literary symbolism~here (as Ginny was not the seventh daughter; she was the first daughter and seventh child), so I propose removing this information. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 22:58, July 20, 2011 (UTC)
OK, I probably misinterpreted it. And by the way, who has stated that Gideon and Fabian were her younger sibblings?Rodolphus 08:29, July 21, 2011 (UTC)
1, Re Molly's use of "profanity" -- this is one of my favorite lines, very reminiscent of Ripley in the Alien movies, it shows Molly's fierce warrior plus protective Mother The source for Julie Walter saying that this her favourite line is this press conference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5don9ACZEI Emememem (talk) 12:02, July 23, 2013 (UTC)
2. The box that recaps all info (new to this so I don't know if it has a specific name) states that Molly has a Grandmother & links to Muriel's Mother
This woman is grandmother to Molly only IF "Muriel was a sister of Mr. or Mrs. Prewett"
If Muriel married the brother of either Prewett's, her mother would not be on Molly's direct family treeWonka2011 15:43, September 28, 2011 (UTC)
I don't understand why she wasn't in the GOF film??????????
Name Change
Shouldn't this page be renamed to "Molly Prewett"? I mean, isn't that the correct name? I know that Prewett is her maiden name, but Weasley is Ginny's maiden name and her page name isn't called "Ginny Potter". --SorcererSupreme21 (talk) 23:35, February 9, 2014 (UTC)
- Policy is to use the name by which they were most commonly known. Lily Evans is the exception, and that is purely for wiki reasons, to disambiguate her from her granddaughter. --Cubs Fan (Talk to me) 16:23, November 29, 2014 (UTC)
Is there a reason none of the sources are written? TrueRavenclaw616 (talk) 12:41, November 29, 2014 (UTC)
Why was Molly's changed to Ministry?--Rodolphus (talk) 18:08, August 29, 2018 (UTC)

Penn State may or may not be planning on meeting with the NCAA in an attempt to reduce the sanctions levied against the program, but the university is definitely moving forward with another, and far more important, aspect of the Jerry Sandusky fallout.
PSU trustees told the Associated Press that tentative agreements with Sandusky's victims have been reached. The amounts of the settlements weren't disclosed, but those could be revealed in the coming weeks when the agreements are expected to become final.
"As we have previously said, the university intends to deal with these individuals in a fair and expeditious manner, with due regard to their privacy," PSU president Rodney Erickson said in a statement
Sandusky, a longtime defensive coordinator for the Nittany Lions, was convicted a year ago of 45 counts of child sexual abuse. He is currently serving a 30-60 year sentence.

Protect our soil – we can't live without it
Farmers are the stewards of the land; sadly, politics often dictate how they farm. In the coming days, Congress will make decisions on funding priorities for 2012, and dramatic cuts to soil conservation programs are being proposed.
We cannot afford to let this happen. Our nation's ability to produce adequate healthy food, and to protect vital air and water resources, depend on how we treat the soil. Cutting soil conservation programs now will have devastating consequences long into the future. Call your Congressmember today and let them know healthy soil is well worth the modest investment.

CJ serves as Atlanta's sparkplug on, off field
Third baseman brings big bat, passionate presence to first postseason
LOS ANGELES -- The way Chris Johnson sees it, he's been playing October baseball since February.
When the Braves third baseman crossed home plate screaming before nearly taking off B.J. Upton's hand with a high-five on Friday, that wasn't the October version of Johnson -- that was the 24/7 edition.
"For me, it's good because I can just stay the same," Johnson said of playing in his first postseason. "I approach Opening Day like it's Game 7 of the World Series. It's really fun, the playoffs."
Johnson spent 3 1/2 seasons in Houston and half a season in Arizona, where he never tasted the playoffs -- or even came close. This year, he was a major factor in the Braves' National League East title, finishing second in the league with a .321 batting average.
And if the Braves are going to advance past the Dodgers -- with whom they're currently tied at a game apiece in the NL Division Series -- Johnson will likely have to continue being a major factor when the series resumes Sunday night at 8 ET on TBS.
"I'm used to playing in games with my emotions high and when I'm jacked up," said Johnson, who came to Atlanta in the offseason deal with the D-backs that also netted Justin Upton. "I'm used to it. It really is just another game to me."
Manager Fredi Gonzalez noted that there isn't really any room for Johnson to get more fiery than he typically is, anyway.
"It doesn't matter if it's Game 1 of the season or Game 3 of the playoffs, he is passionate," Gonzalez said. "He is competitive. ... He doesn't need any more energy than what he has right now."
In eight at-bats this series, Johnson has three hits and two RBIs -- the second of which gave the Braves their first lead of the playoffs on Friday night.
But Johnson is quick to point out that the numbers don't matter in October. That's why he loves it so much.
"It's a different feeling in the playoffs," Johnson said. "It's the way baseball should be. The only thing that really matters is whether you win or lose the game. You don't have to worry about getting hits or putting up numbers. At this point, none of that stuff matters."
Johnson's presence in the lineup has been immense for the Braves this season. Generally, Gonzalez uses Johnson to protect the club's biggest power hitters, by putting Johnson -- one of the league's statistically toughest outs -- behind them.
"He lengthens the lineup," Gonzalez said. "After [Brian] McCann, you've still got to deal with Chris Johnson, who is -- by the way -- second in the National League in batting average."
Johnson's presence extends beyond the dynamic he brings to the lineup. Outfielder Jordan Schafer was teammates with Johnson in Houston for two seasons and said his attitude was infectious.
WE OWN THE EAST! pic.twitter.com/GR3p1gUM2U- Chris Johnson (@C_Johnson28) September 22, 2013
Schafer "knew [Johnson] was a little crazy" the first time the two entered the clubhouse together. He also knew Johnson had the makings of an great teammate.
"He's super competitive, and he wears his emotions out on his sleeve," Schafer said. "He plays hard. Whether you like that he shows so much emotion is personal preference, but he goes out there and gives everything he has, and that's all you can ask for as a teammate."
That's been easy this year for Johnson. After three sub-.500 seasons with Houston and an 81-81 finish with Arizona, Johnson has finally had the chance to play meaningful baseball on a daily basis.
"I can honestly say that the reason I'm having so much fun this season is because we're winning," Johnson said. "The personal stuff is just a bonus."

Mario Lopez is a married man.
The X Factor host tied the knot Saturday afternoon with longtime love Courtney Mazza at the beachfront vacation home of pal Joe Francis in Punta Mita, Mexico.
Eva Longoria, one of Lopez's best friends, also walked down the aisle as a bridesmaid and his and Mazza's 2-year-old daughter, Gia, made for the most adorable flower girl donning a dress that matched Mama Mazza, E! News reports.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Mario Lopez strips down to his golden underwear
A Catholic priest officiated the traditional ceremony at sunset, after which more than 150 guests kicked up their heels to fete the newlyweds.
Lopez was reportedly in charge of the entertainment (i.e. the music and dancing), while his bride-to-be was taking care of the food, cake and flowers (not to mention probably a zillion other little touches that her fiance may have failed to mention). Cake Boss star Buddy Valastro was enlisted to make the multilayered chocolate and red-velvet confection.
"I'm just a sidekick in it. My fiance is the star," Lopez told People of the literal wedding production (Mario & Courtney's Wedding Fiesta, which airs Dec. 8 on TLC). "I just want the wedding itself to be fun, just a blast, everybody to party and have fun and to go all night."
Sounds like marriage is working out for Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake
The celebratory weekend kicked off last night, meanwhile, with a "white party" on the beach, for which all the guests were asked to come in their finest white fiesta gear.
Lopez and Mazza announced their engagement in January, the groom-to-be having popped the question over their New Year's holiday in Ixtapa, Mexico.
This is the former "Saved by the Bell" star's second marriage, his first to Ali Landry lasting barely a month.

The charging station can deliver 48 watts of power in total, providing 2.4 amps of power per port. That means you can charge four tablets at once, and every port can provide the power each device needs.
One charger for all of your mobile devices
The charger supports USB Battery Charging Specification 1.2, which ensures compatibility with a broad range of mobile devices, including the Apple iPhone and iPad, the Microsoft® Surface™ tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab™, Android™ devices and more.
Dedicated charging
This all-in-one charger is perfect for charging multiple devices during meetings in a boardroom or conference room. It gives you and your co-workers access to charging when it's needed. Plus, consolidating your USB devices onto a single multi-port USB charger offers a more efficient solution and saves space. You don't need to use multiple wall outlets or power bars.
The compact, metal enclosure is extremely durable and offers simple operation, using an integrated on/off power button that turns all ports on and off. For further flexibility, the charge station includes a bracket for wall-mounted installations.
Protection for your devices
The USB charging station features built-in safety measures to ensure that all of your devices are protected against damage from overheating, overvoltage, overcurrent or short circuiting. If the 48-watt limit is exceeded, the power being sent to the connected devices will turn off, and the charger will reset itself until the load is reduced to safe levels.
The charger also includes an LED indicator beside each port to notify you of a short circuit, while the affected port will shut down until you power-cycle the charger.

State Secrets Case Proceeds
A three‐judge panel from the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled yesterday that the State Secrets Privilege, a doctrine barring the introduction of sensitive information as evidence, did not bar a suit by former CIA detainees. (H/T SCOTUSBlog)
The plaintiffs allege that the defendant, a contract airline associated with the extraordinary rendition program, knowingly flew them to countries where they would be tortured. The panel held that individual pieces of evidence may be subject to the Privilege, but a suit could not be entirely barred by a government assertion that sensitive information could be revealed.
This presents a split in federal circuit rulings on the State Secrets Privilege. The Fourth Circuit held that the Privilege could bar a civil suit entirely. This expansion of the State Secrets Privilege, started under Bush and continued under Obama, is a departure from the fact‐specific evaluation described by the Supreme Court in U.S. v. Reynolds. "Judicial control over the evidence in a case cannot be abdicated to the caprice of executive officers."
As my colleague Tim Lynch has written before, the State Secrets Privilege often has little to do with keeping secrets and a lot to do with avoiding liability. All that remains to be seen is whether the Obama administration will appeal the ruling, either to an en banc rehearing by the full Ninth Circuit or at the Supreme Court.

DM News article "Digital Shines in 2010" predicts the continued rise of digital spending as a share of total marketing dollars. Two interesting takeaways from a direct mail perspective:
#1) Digital is stealing share away from direct mail
"Just like in the old days, direct marketing used to be the safe haven because it provides quick, measurable results. Online has assumed that safe haven role now," said Adam Smith, futures director at GroupM.
#2) Digital is more measurable than direct mail
"If we send a direct mailer, it's an absolute impression, but is it as trackable? Will the consumer, for example, type Overstock.com/directmailer? It's fuzzy. Some people do and others don't," [Stormy Simon, SVP of marketing and customer care for Overstock.com] explained. "But I do know that when I spend on online marketing, I'm able to say 'I spent a penny and I got a penny [back].'"
The hallmark of direct mail has always been accountability. Digital is beating it at it's own game. The challenge to direct mail is to prove ROI superiority if it is to hold onto a significant portion of advertising expenditures.

Jenna, I am not a broccoli fan, but that salad looks interesting. According to my husband, and probably any man, bacon makes everything better! Have a great one! Hugs!
That really does sound like a flavorful combination Jenna! Have a great week:@)
I'm in, sounds good to me! 😉 pinned.
This looks and sounds delicious, especially as a summer salad. How many grapes do we need? It's not mentioned in your recipe?
This sounds perfectly delightful! I have two broccoli salads that I make and love, but why not add a third one to my repertoire!
Your Broccoli Salad does look like it is crazy good, can't wait to try this one. Hope you have a very special holiday and thanks so much for sharing with us at Full Plate Thursday.

|Island fortress
|"In Tol-in-Gaurhoth" by Steamey
|General Information
|Other names
|formerly known as "Tol Sirion"
|Upper Sirion
|Island fortress
|People and History
|Sauron, Draugluin, Werewolves, Thuringwethil
|Images of Tol-in-Gaurhoth
Tol-in-Gaurhoth or Isle of Werewolves, also called Wizard's Isle[1] was a fortress held by Sauron in the First Age, once called Tol Sirion.
Tol-in-Gaurhoth began as the Minas Tirith of Finrod Felagund, and was held by Orodreth for his uncle to guard the vale of Sirion. However, Orodreth was powerless to stop Sauron from taking the isle, and fled south. Sauron began breeding large wolves in the isle which he sent evil spirits in, turning them into werewolves.
Ten years later during the Quest for the Silmaril, Beren Erchamion on his quest for the Silmaril enlisted Finrod's aid, but they were captured passing the isle when Sauron defeated Finrod in a spell contest. Their companions were slain one-by-one by werewolves. Finrod saved Beren's life, but died himself.
Lúthien and the Hound Huan came to Beren's rescue, and Huan killed the wolves sent against him. After Draugluin was killed Sauron went out in wolf-form but was defeated. Lúthien got control over the isle's magic from Sauron, who fled, and Minas Tirith was reduced to ruins. Finrod was buried there.[2] The isle remained clean afterwards, but after the Nirnaeth Arnoediad it was retaken by Morgoth and its towers rebuilt.[3]

There's a change at the top our weekly PBCS Standings (NOTE: formula protected by our army of six evil cackling lawyers). You can come out of hiding, Hollywood studio execs. Christian filmmaker Alex Kendrick's reign of terror is over! Taking his spot this week is liberal lionheart George Clooney! HOORAY! The star system works! Now you can go back to deliberately ignoring a national bloc of Evangelical movie viewers starved for decent storytelling! Your box office figures look like this, according to Box Office Mojo:
1. Real Steel - $16.3M
2. Footloose - $16.1M
3. The Thing - $8.7M
U.S. & World
4. The Ides of March - $7.5M
5. Dolphin Tale - $6.3M
6. Moneyball - $5.5M
8. Courageous - $3.4M
9. The Big Year - $3.3M
10. Lion King 3D - $2.7M
Again, "Real Steel" is on top, which deliberately misleads you into thinking it's somehow worth your time. Trust us: IT IS NOT. Here now are your adjusted PBCS rankings:
1. The Ides of March - 216
2. 50/50 - 194
3. Courageous - 188
4. Footloose - 126
5. Moneyball - 73
6. Dolphin Tale - 69
7. Drive - 47
8. Real Steel - 46
9. The Help - 22
10. Contagion - 12
"Ides" takes the top slot after maintaining a healthy per-screen average. At this point, it's nearly doubled its original production budget, which makes it a modest success, not unlike "50/50," "Drive," or "Courageous". All of those movies were profitable. The problem is, Hollywood isn't exactly wowed by modest success. It's a land of repulsive excess, which means you are expected to be MASSIVELY profitable, churning out movies that consistently make $4,000 million billion dollars. If studios scaled back on always trying to make big crowd fare and instead worked on developing a large number of smaller, quality films, they could probably end up having a better overall year.
Speaking of years, "The Big Year" was a huge flop, finishing out of our rankings. Ditto "The Thing," which critics hated and won't have a very long run. As for "Footloose," results were decent, but nothing you'd stage a good ol' hoedown over. Also, just for fun, I calculated the PBCS score for "The Human Centipede: Full Sequence." It got a 0.

BLACKSBURG, Va. – Virginia Tech head men's basketball coach James Johnson has announced the hiring of Kurt Kanaskie, Mark Byington and Ramon Williams as assistant coaches in the program.
"These three coaches will bring a lot of things to the table," Johnson said. "They have experience, youth, and energy. They are all very good coaches and all have been a part of some very good programs that have advanced to post-season play and competed in the NCAA Tournament. They are experienced recruiting up and down the Eastern Seaboard. We will be able to cover from New Jersey, all the way down to Florida, as well as some Midwest connections. We are excited to get going."
Kurt Kanaskie comes to Virginia Tech after spending one season at Navy as associate head coach and eight seasons at Penn State, including two years as associate head coach. He was on the staff at Penn State with Johnson from 2003-2005. While at Penn State, Kanaskie helped the Nittany Lions to a spot in the 2011 NCAA Tournament, a 2009 NIT Championship and a berth in the 2007 NIT.
"We are very excited with the hiring of Kurt Kanaskie," Johnson said. "He is a very experienced and knowledgable basketball coach. He is outstanding on the court, in recruiting and has a great relationship with players."
Prior to Penn State, Kanaskie served as the head coach at Drake for seven seasons (1997-03). Before Drake, he was one of the most successful Division II head coaches in Pennsylvania, as he was the head coach at Indiana University of Pennsylvania for eight seasons. In the 1994-95 season, IUP grabbed its first national ranking in school history (No. 5), earned an NCAA Tournament bid for the first time ever and advanced to the Elite Eight. A year later, IUP earned a No. 1 national ranking and advanced to the national semifinals. Kanaskie was twice named PSAC Coach of the Year, earned NABC District Coach of the Year honors twice and was twice named the Basketball Times National Coach of the Year.
Before IUP, Kanaskie served as the head coach at Lock Haven University for three years (1986-88). His LHU team reached the NCAA Tournament a year later and earned the school's first-ever national ranking. He was named PSAC Coach of the Year twice at LHU, giving him a total of four PSAC coaching awards.
The Mechanicsburg, Pa., native began his coaching career as an assistant coach at South Carolina for five seasons. Kanaskie was an All-State basketball player at Cumberland Valley High School and earned his Bachelor of Science degree from La Salle University in 1980 and a Master of Business Administration from South Carolina in 1985. While at La Salle, he earned All-Big Five and All-East Coast Conference honors, was an academic All-American, and left as the school's ninth all-time leading scorer. He was drafted by the NBA's Golden State Warriors.
Mark Byington comes to Virginia Tech from the College of Charleston. During his nine seasons in Charleston, Byington spent six seasons as Bobby Cremins' top assistant and was the interim head coach the final month of the 2011-12 season. He was on the same Cougar staff with Johnson during the 2002-03 season.
"Mark Byington is a young, energetic and enthusiastic coach and I'm thrilled to have him join our staff," Johnson said. "He is a local guy from Salem, Va., and knows the ACC area. He has a lot of contacts in this area of the country and is an outstanding recruiter."
Byington was an assistant coach at Hargrave Military Academy in 2001-02. He served as the director of basketball operations at the University of Virginia during the 2004-05 season and was a graduate student manager at UVa for two seasons before that.
A 1998 graduate of UNC Wilmington, Byington earned his bachelor's degree in physical education and was a three-year starter on the men's basketball team earning second-team All-Colonial Athletic Association and All-CAA Defensive Team honors his senior year. A two-time CAA All-Academic selection, Byington scored more than 1,000 points during his career. He earned a master's degree in
sports psychology from UVa in December of 2003.
Byington was a high school basketball standout at Salem High School. He was named Player of the Year in the state of Virginia as a high school senior, leading Salem to the state championship. He also earned honorable mention All-America recognition and was a two time first-team All-State selection. Following his senior season, he was chosen Most Valuable Player of the Virginia High School
League All-Star Game.
Ramon Williams, a native of Roanoke, Va., joins the staff after serving three seasons at Ohio University. During his three seasons at Ohio, the Bobcats advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2010 and 2012. In 2012, Ohio advanced to the Sweet 16 as a No. 13 seed with victories over No. 4 seed Michigan and No. 12 seed South Florida.
"We are excited about having Ramon Williams join our staff," Johnson said. "He is a young man who has Virginia ties and Virginia roots. He was an extremely good player at VMI and has coached with some outstanding coaches in some very good programs. He has coached at the highest level while at DePaul and did a great job with John Groce at Ohio, as they made a run to the Sweet 16. He was
an integral part of recruiting those players and with the on-the-court coaching."
Williams came to Ohio after a four-year stint at DePaul, where he helped guide the Blue Demons through the rugged BIG EAST Conference, widely regarded as the nation's top league. In Williams' second year on staff, DePaul posted nine BIG EAST wins and defeated three ranked teams en route to making its deepest postseason run in 17 years, a trip to the quarterfinals of the NIT.
Before DePaul, Williams spent three years as an assistant at Richmond under Jerry Wainwright. The Spiders reached the postseason in two of Williams' three seasons on staff, qualifying for the NIT in 2003 and capturing the program's second-ever at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament in 2004.
A 1990 graduate of VMI with a degree in economics, Williams was a member of the men's basketball staff at his alma mater for nine years as both an assistant and associate head coach before heading to Richmond. Williams was a two-time All-Southern Conference and SoCon All-Tournament Team selection at VMI, and finished his career as the program's third-leading scorer with 1,630 points. He
continues to hold VMI program records for three-point field goals in a game and single-season three-point field goal percentage.
Williams and his brother, Damon, who formed one of the most prolific scoring duos in NCAA history, were both inducted into the VMI Sports Hall of Fame in September of 2001.

Biological pest control helps decrease agriculture's reliance on chemical pest control. The Insectary imports, rears, establishes, and colonizes new beneficial organisms for control of specific plant and insect pests. Successful biological pest control reduces production costs, decreases amounts of chemicals entering the environment, and establishes colonies of beneficial insects offering a natural permanent pest control solution.
Contact the Insectary
Approximately 30 weed predators are being cultured, released, and established on weed infestations throughout the State. In addition to the biological weed control programs, this section conducts control programs for the alfalfa weevil, and Oriental fruit moth, with a total of twelve beneficial species. The main function of the Biological Pest Control Section is the rearing and releasing of natural enemies for control of specific plant and insect pests. To request biological pest control please contact our office. This section also acts as the State's receiving station for biological control agents. New biological control programs are being developed primarily by agencies of the United States Department of Agriculture. Foreign exploration produces several new species each year that are known to control introduced plant and insect pests. These exotic species are exposed to a strict quarantine procedure before they become available to cooperating states for general release. This ensures that potentially hazardous species are not accidentally introduced with the beneficial insects.

SPONGEBOB Finished Costume!
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Boys
This homemade costume for boys entered our 2012 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Jill, the 'SpongeBob SquarePants' costume creator:
I love making costumes for my sons Halloween! This year it was all about SpongeBob. I used a cardboard box for the shape and used cotton batting to make the outside soft. All the face and the spots are made of colored felt and shiney plastic for the eyes. I cut a small rectangle opening to look out of that is carefully hidden. It was a hit with trick-or-treaters :)

All heart: Children's author loves her work
"To live as a children's author, you have to do multiple things," Alice Leonhardt says, adding "unless you make it big. Unless you're J.K. Rowling in your castle."
Clearly it's not as easy as the author of the popular Harry Potter stories makes it look. Even with more than 60 books under her belt, contracts with Random House and Simon and Schuster, an Edgar Allen Poe Award nomination, and titles on the New York Times bestseller list, Leonhardt is quick to point out that, while her family may have horses, her home north of Staunton is not a horse farm. And to make ends meet, she teaches part-time at Blue Ridge Community College.
Still, she's not about to give up.
"I literally cannot explain where my determination and perseverance came from," Leonhardt confesses.
Leonhardt grew up in Baltimore and started writing stories in second grade. In 1983, when she sold her first short story to Highlights magazine for children, she thought she'd finally made the big time.
Alas. "They never bought another thing from me," she sighs.
Her first book was published in 1985, a work-for-hire job for which she was paid a one-time flat fee that led to writing countless Nancy Drew mysteries and, later, Mary-Kate and Ashley books. She also writes educational books and testing materials, and is the author of a 13-book series of young adult novels about thoroughbred horses.
Still, this former special education teacher and mother of two who declines to give her age says she's tired of doing work-for-hire. Among her publications are five books that are entirely her own creations, and this is the place she now wants to concentrate her creative energies.
Using the nom de plume Alison Hart– to distinguish these books from her other work and to give kids an easier name to remember– Leonhardt writes mysteries, historical fiction, and real-life police stories. Her tales often reflect her own passion for horses, and feature strong female characters who tackle not only crime, but social issues as well.
In her latest book, for example, an American Girl History Mystery called Danger at the Wild West Show, Rose is an aspiring Annie Oakley-style trick-rider who defies 19th century feminine norms to solve the crime, clear her brother's name, and fight discrimination against Native Americans.
Melissa Techman, the librarian at Broadus Wood Elementary School who came to Leonhardt's book signing at Barnes & Noble last week just to meet her, says Alison Hart's books are always checked out at her library. "She's really got a feel for what kids love," Techman says.
With another book due out this fall and a contract for a three-book series of historical mysteries set during the Civil War, Hart... er Leonhardt... is hoping she's finally on her way to the big time.

The kids have been on the playground long enough.
Colin Powell, a grownup who has more foreign policy and national security chops than any thousand neocons, recently endorsed President Obama.
I think he started a trend.
Now comes New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, a champion of Wall Street who hasn't had all that many kind things to say about O lately, in terms of O's standing with Wall Street fat cats. (You see, fat cats don't like to be called fat, and Obama did that three years ago, something they just can't forgive, despite getting even fatter under the Obama presidency.)
Bloomberg has broken his silent neutrality in this year's election and has endorsed Obama, partly for his stance on global warming. For Bloomberg, science trumps Trump, as that buffoonish New Yorker and Romney endorser is not only a birther freak, he is a global warming denier to boot. Who's surprised those two things go hand in hand?
Bloomberg also touted the President's education policy, his defense of gay rights, and a woman's right to choose. Although Bloomberg spouted some nonsense about Obama's need to listen "to people on both sides of the aisle" (something the President tried to do and, in fact, spent too much time trying to do, when it was clear the other side had nothing useful to say), his endorsement is a sign that the adults have seen enough of Kid Mittens.
Also, on the endorsement front, in comes The Economist, the highbrow magazine based in London, whose self-described goal is to,
take part in a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress.
Needless to say, for a magazine with such a lofty goal, endorsing Obama was the only choice—again.
Kenneth Rapoza at Forbes summarized the reasons The Economist said no to the vulture capitalist with a spray tan:
Foreign Policy: On foreign policy matters, Romney seems too ready to bomb Iran and he has vowed to label China a currency manipulator, something the U.S. Treasury Department has said China is not.
Government Spending: Although he would slash red tape on the domestic front, Romney said he wants to start with huge tax cuts yet again and dramatically increase defense spending. With what revenues? Magazine editors said, "He is still in the cloud-cuckoo-land of thinking that America's finances can be dealt with entirely through spending cuts. Backing business is important, but getting the macroeconomics right matters far more."
Economy: Romney has an economic plan that works only if you don't believe most of what he says.
I want all you Mittenites out there not to worry too much about all these grownups endorsing President Obama. Don't forget: the Joplin Globe endorsed your guy.

liftM2 f a b == liftM2 (flip f) b a. These give maximum flexibility in how effects may be sequenced, but the full commutativity requirement is just not possible for most situations. In a commutative monad, there can be no dependencies between the effects - an effect cannot depend in any way on what effects have come before, only on the set of effects that constitute it.
As an aside, it makes more sense to talk about the commutative applicative functor underlying a monad, rather than speaking of "commutative monads". The reason is the usual definition of commutativity of effects for monads - that
do { a <- e1; b <- e2; f a b } is equal to
do { b <- e2; a <- e1; f a b } - is only even defined if
e2 does not reference
a. That is, the code cannot be actually monadic - for effects that commute, it must be possible to describe the behavior in terms of some underlying applicative. Applicative lifts the global ordering on the production of the effects (we no longer have to wait until all previous effects have generated to produce the current effect), but not the global ordering on their sequencing (since we cannot rearrange effects without changing meaning).
What I'd like is the ability to specify and reason with a partial order on effects - this would incidentally cover commutativity as the degenerate case where all effects are incomparable. I'm not sure how to express this as an API, though. Here was a first attempt:
The idea here is that if
class PosetApplicative m where
pure :: a -> m a
lift2 :: (a -> b -> c) -> m a -> m b -> m c
-- False if m a <= m b, that is m b depends on m a
-- True if not (m a <= m b), m b does not depend on m a
commutes :: m a -> m b -> Bool
commutes a b, then
lift2 f a b == lift2 (flip f) b a. This enables a few things -
sequence and
traverse could now work very differently - they might internally rearrange the effects in some way that is more efficient, then reconstruct the original sequence at the end. Or imagine the stream of effects one might feed to an iteratee - the iteratee could choose to skip a value in the input - the corresponding effect needed to generate this input could then be placed in a buffer and sequenced in later only if a subsequent effect depends on it. Hence the iteratee would not be forced to wait for evaluation of effects it was not interested in!
This interface would need to be implemented a bit differently than most applicatives. Consider the state applicative. The
commutes a b translates to the claim that
a and
b operate on separate portions of the state. E.g., the state is a pair and
a only touches the first element of the pair and
b only touches the second. We might say there is some lensing going on, and the two foci of the lenses do not overlap. But it should be clear that the regular representation of state -
s -> (a,s) - is not going to work, as we have no knowledge of what this opaque function might do with the given
s. We need some sort of ADT to track the portion of the state each state action is given access to, so we can explicitly reason about dependencies and how they overlap.
I am only just starting to think about these possibilities. I'd love to hear if this has been looked into before, or if anyone else has experience with this sort of thing.

Wall Street Protest Starting to Look Like Tahrir Square, Egypt
Alexander Higgins reports:
NYPD police scanners are estimating a crowd up to 5,000 are occupying liberty square in a scene that is now starting to look more like Egypt's Tahrir square.
The protests have become so large that Fox News has set up a live stream covering the protests. Here are some screen shots from their camera.
Here are some additional photographs from a helicopter.
Who Are the Protesters?
Wall Street is trying to write all of these people off as being "hippies" who "need to get a job" (to which the protesters would respond: That's the point – There are no jobs, because Wall Street has destroyed the economy.)
The poor and the desperate, formerly-middle class people participating in the protests are not taking well to Wall Street's "Let them eat cake" response.
But all types are marching, including grannies and pilots:
Marines and other military men and women.
Wealthy folks such as Russel Simmons and Alec Baldwin.
On the other side of the protest line, Mayor Bloomberg is whining that the protesters are targeting bankers who "are struggling to make ends meet".
He has a point: if Wall Street is reined in so that the rest of the
country has a chance, the bankers might have to cut back on their mistresses, prostitutes and solid gold toilets.
Class Warfare?
Yes, this is class warfare. But it is class warfare by the 1% against the other 99% (and see this). Specifically, it is the looting of the country by the top .1% through fraud.
As Warren Buffet – one of America's most successful capitalists and defenders of capitalism – points out:
There's class warfare, all right, but it's my class, the rich class, that's making war ….
Leading economists note that rampant inequality was one of the main causes of the Great Depression and of the current economic crisis.
Indeed, given that inequality in America is worse than Egypt (or Tunisia, or Yemen or most Latin American banana republics), and that social mobility is lower in America than in most European countries (and see this), we have been predicting these types of protests for years.
If Wall Street is starting to look like Tahir Square, it is because America is starting to look more and more like Egypt – with a handful of super-rich, and crumbs for everyone else.

There's not much going on in the yard at the moment although I do see little bulbs already trying to poke their way through the dirt. Yay! So the kitchen is where its at for me right now. I got a Panasonic bread machine from my sweet hubby Randy for Christmas so I'm getting to know it and enjoying every minute!
I've made a couple of loaves..one good..one not so great but I figure a little trial and error is to be expected. The best so far has been this homemade hamburger bun.
Its a bun I've seen around the web for awhile and has gotten rave reviews so I knew it would be a good one to try. Although it may look crusty, it wasn't. Soft on the the outside and inside just like a hamburger bun should be! Randy said it held up great..less mess, which is important to him! Give these a try..super easy with the machine.
Moomie's Beautiful Burger Buns
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
- 1 eggs
- 3 1/4 cups flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- Place all ingredients in your bread machine following the order given in the manual for your machine. Select dough. Allow to run cycle.
- Dump out onto lightly floured surface. Divide into 8 pieces (I did this with a sharp knife). With each piece, slap into a bun shape. Usually four or five slaps will do it. Place on greased cookie sheets or your bun pans, cover; rise about 30 to 40 minutes.
- Bake in preheated 375°F oven for 12 to 15 minutes till golden. Cool on wire racks.
- You can add a teaspoon of onion powder and about 1/2 teaspoon dried onion to the dough in the bread machine. Suzy's note: I didn't try it this time, but I will in the future. Sounds good!
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year and Epiphany!

There is much to recommend about Virginia baseball this season, witness the Cavaliers' extended stay atop the national polls. From the weekend starters to the everyday closer, the pitching is historically good. Led by the infield, the defense is airtight, and thanks to the Charlottesville and U.Va. communities, attendance again is at record levels.
But baseball is nothing if not whimsical, as these Cavaliers surely can attest.
With seven of the top eight hitters returning from a team that averaged a stout 7.9 runs, hit .312 and advanced to an NCAA Super Regional, U.Va. coach Brian O'Connor figured to have few, if any, offensive concerns this season.
Improving the defense? Yes. Grooming a replacement for lights-out closer Kyle Crockett? No question.
But offense? Warren Buffett was going to worry about his lunch tab before O'Connor was going to lose sleep over offense.
Or so convention said. Yet after Tuesday's 5-4, 10-inning victory over VCU in Richmond, Virginia is averaging 5.5 runs and batting .274.
Now before suggesting that O'Connor hire Mike Trout ASAP as a hitting coach, understand that in the latest NCAA stats Virginia ranks 89th among 300 Division I teams in scoring, 120th in batting average. But while hardly anemic, the Cavaliers' numbers are not becoming of a College World Series contender and do not approach the standard of O'Connor's remarkable 11 seasons in Charlottesville.
For an entire season, the lowest team average of O'Connor's tenure is .290 in 2005 and '08. His lowest-scoring squad was the '05 bunch, led by Ryan Zimmerman, that averaged 6.1 runs.
Yes, college baseball curbed offense in 2011 by adjusting the game's aluminum bats. But the Cavaliers hit .304 that year, followed by .296 and .312.
So equipment isn't the issue. The young men in the batter's box are the issue. And when healthy, proven hitters struggle, the problem often is more mental than mechanical.
A first-team All-American last season, Mike Papi is hitting .293, well below his .381 of a year ago, when he became the Cavaliers' first ACC batting champion since 1981. Brandon Downes, who clubbed Tuesday's decisive solo home run, has dipped from .316 to .245. Nearly flawless as a closer this season, Nick Howard has declined from .323 to .254.
Derek Fisher, a .328 hitter this year, missed 25 games with a wrist injury before returning Sunday, but his absence doesn't explain the team's falloff.
"We need to be consistent with what our approach is," O'Connor said after Sunday's 4-2 home loss to North Carolina, a series that drew a record 14,282 to Davenport Field. "I think what we've been addressing, and I hope at some point it sinks in, we've just been way too passive. When you're passive like that, it's really tough to get yourself going."
That passivity is evidenced in the Cavaliers' power numbers. They have 18 home runs in 41 games, compared to 43 in 62 last year. Last season Virginia's slugging percentage was .463. This year it's .372.
Virginia's scoring has been most alarming in league play. The Cavaliers plated only eight runs in three games last weekend against North Carolina, and that wasn't even a season low. They managed just seven in a series against Duke, five versus Clemson. They have scored four or fewer in their last nine ACC games.
So how in the name of Abner Doubleday is Virginia 34-7? How are the Cavaliers 16-5 in the ACC, and how have they won each of their seven conference series to assure the program its 11th consecutive NCAA tournament appearance under O'Connor?
That's easy.
"With the struggles we're having now, thankfully we have the best pitching staff in the entire country," Fisher told media Sunday.
He may be right.
Virginia ranks first nationally in hits allowed per nine innings at 6.2 and third in earned-run average at 2.08. The lowest season ERAs in school history are 1.77 in 1950 and 2.23 in 1971. Throw in a .983 fielding percentage that rates second nationally, and you have the ability to mask an average offense.
Nathan Kirby, who threw a no-hitter at Pittsburgh, Josh Sborz and Brandon Waddell are a combined 17-4 as weekend starters. Connor Jones in middle relief and Whit Mayberry as a set-up man have been invaluable.
But Howard, a 6-foot-4 right-hander who pitched in relief only once in 13 appearances last season, has been a revelation. He has 13 saves, already one more than Crockett recorded last year.
While Crockett, a Poquoson High graduate, thrives with the Cleveland Indians' Double-A affiliate in Akron, Ohio, his former Virginia teammates look ahead to Wednesday's home game against Richmond, a weekend series at Florida State, and a date next Tuesday at Norfolk's Harbor Park versus Old Dominion.
The Tallahassee trip will match the Cavaliers against the nation's fifth-ranked team and the ACC's top-scoring offense (7.1 runs per game). Will Virginia continue to lean disproportionately on pitching and defense, sentencing fans to daily, ninth-inning heartburn? Or, are the Cavaliers due for a prolonged scoring binge?
A third College World Series in seven years could well hinge on the answer.

text: Today was a beautiful day. Went out at low tide - just me a few longboarders chatting, sharing little glassy rollers, working on our "face tans" for a few hours LOL. Then the summer people started showing up. Here's a list I came up with for the summer folks to help them acclimate. Feel free to share: 1. Anything that you bought in Mal-Wart, a craft store or the drugstore down the block is not a "bodyboard", especially when it's called a "Spice Stick". Please don't call my beloved No. 6 "goofy looking". 2. No, I am not in the surfer's way. There is a big difference between being in the line-up with a bodyboard (see above) and standing at the shore with your ass sticking out, waiting for whitewater to jump into. We are not doing the same thing. 3. No, my board was not on sale for $5.99! 4. Yes, the fins help and yes, I like the fact that they are lime green, so stop asking me. 5. I'm wearing a wetsuit because the water is 63 degrees. I think you're a moron because you're wearing nothing but trunks. 6. Yes, the wetsuit is necessary. Yes, I am aware it's not flattering. Thank you for telling me. 7. I do not want to babysit your children. And no, they can't play with my board...it's too big and the leash is too big for them to be safe. 8. Be careful if you decide to swim out to where people are lined up.....if you see us dropping into waves, please don't jump onto the shoulder yelling WHEE! - you can get hurt that way. 9. No, I can't get rid of the seaweed. If you hate it that much, go to the pool. 10. If you insist on bringing water in plastic bottles to the beach, please dispose of it in the proper containers. Carrying it to the water and dumping it is unacceptable. The same goes for dirty diapers, plastic bags, broken toys, empty sunscreen bottles or whatever else. If I ask you politely to not throw trash in the ocean, cursing is uncalled for.

In February, HSP will continue its series of genealogy workshops with two new programs. These workshops will be held on Wednesday evenings and begin at 6:00 p.m. They are all open to the public and cost $15 each but are FREE for members. So if you're not already a member of HSP consider joining today.
The first workshop will be Searching For Your Jewish Family on February 13. Fred Blum, president of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Philadelphia, will share techniques to track down Jewish ancestors. Blum, a licensed private detective, has been researching his own family since 1998 and located more than 1,200 relatives dating back to 1810 in the United States, Canada, Ukraine, and Israel. He will also discuss his work in locating Holocaust survivors for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. A handout will be distributed with useful Internet research sites.
Then on February 20 we will present Buon Giorno: Italian Records Research. Have you exhausted research in the United States looking for your Italian ancestors and want to know what records in Italy might help you continue your search? At this seminar, learn more about what types of records are available for Italy, where to find them, how to read them, and how to use them to extend your Italian family history. This workshop will be taught by Larry S. Fermi, a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists who has been performing in-depth family history research since 1989 with a focus on European immigration during the peak periods of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
I hope to see you there!

The Archos 80 Titanium is an 8 inch tablet running Android Jelly Bean.
Archos 80 Titanium: design and screen
By today's standards everything looks a little blocky, but it's acceptable given the low price. The good news is that it's a decent IPS display - just like the iPad's. This means viewing angles are wide in all directions and colours are realistic.
Archos 80 Titanium: build and ports
The 80 Titanium feels fairly lightweight and well built. It doesn't rattle or twist, mainly thanks to the aluminium rear shell.
Looking around the edges you'll find a volume rocker, a physical home button, a headphone jack, micro USB 2.0 port, mini HDMI output, a charging jack and a microSD card slot.
The slot accepts up to 64GB cards, which is handy since there's only 8 Gig of internal storage. A 16GB model is also available for £150.
There's built-in Wi-Fi but no Bluetooth or GPS. There's no 3G model either.
Archos 80 Titanium: performance
You get front and rear cameras but both offer pretty poor-quality photos. Video is dismal, being both low resolution and jerky.
In our benchmarks, the 80 Titanium surprised us by matching more expensive tablets such as Amazon's Kindle Fire HD, Google's Nexus 7 and even the iPad mini.
The only test in which it didn't beat the iPad mini was GLBenchmark, so it isn't quite as good for 3D gaming.
In general use, we were impressed with the Titanium's speed.
Archos 80 Titanium: software
Archos has sensibly decided not to modify Android, so you get an unadulterated Jelly Bean experience, and full access to the Play store. Archos also provides several handy apps including Archos Video and Archos Music, both of which are better than the standard Android offerings.
We particularly like the video player which has shortcuts to screen brightness, rotation lock, bookmarks and also lets you loop videos.
Since the browser supports Flash, virtually all websites will work properly.
Archos 80 Titanium: verdict
If you're after an inexpensive Android tablet with a decent screen, the 80 Titanium is a real bargain. It's lack of internal storage isn't a big problem thanks to the memory card slot, it's only a shame that it uses a proprietary charger and can't be charged over USB.
However, performance is impressive for the price, as is build quality. If you can live with the poor cameras, it's a great buy.
