"I yanked it a little too far," Beato told reporters last night. "Unfortunately, Thole wasn't able to get to it. It got away from him."
Collins is concerned Beato's comment can cause issues in the clubhouse, and he wants to avoid such a conflict.
"You can't let that happen. That can drive a wedge in this thing," Collins explained to reporters.
According to Andy Martino of the Daily News, Beato has since apologized to Thole for his remarks.
Collins said he will also address the current vibe with the team, saying "This thing could go flat. We're not going to let it."

PHOENIX (AP) The Phoenix Mercury have gotten contributions from all of their All-Stars during their lengthy winning streak.
But on Thursday, it was the 13th-year veteran from Australia who gave them a lift.
Penny Taylor had a season-high 23 points, added four rebounds, four assists and three steals in leading the Mercury to their 12th straight win, 101-85 over the Connecticut Sun.
The Mercury have an WNBA-best 18-3 record.
''That's the beauty of it and why I enjoy it so much,'' Taylor said. ''Because we are finding ways be effective and it's not always the easy way. We have so many players on this team with high basketball IQs. For me, that's so much fun.''
All-Star Brittney Griner added 21 points, five rebounds and three blocked shots, giving her 80 at the break for Phoenix.
Katie Douglas hit a season-high five 3-pointers and had 23 points, five rebounds and six assists for the Sun (10-14), who have lost eight of their past 10.
Phoenix - which hosts the WNBA All-Star game on Saturday - is one win, or a Seattle loss, away from clinching a playoff spot, with a month left in the season.
''Couldn't have asked for a better first half, in my first year,'' Mercury coach Sandy Brondello said. ''I have a great bunch of girls in there. They're professionals and they want to win, so it makes my job a little easier in that regard.''
Before the streak, no Mercury team had previously been more than 13 games above .500 and Phoenix won 19 games during the regular season a year ago on its way to the Western Conference finals.
''Phoenix is a big team, hard to match up with and they take you out of your offense because of their length,'' Connecticut coach Anne Donovan said. ''So tonight it was important to get on the (offensive) boards, we weren't hitting our first shot, we weren't getting the shot we wanted.''
Phoenix has won its games by an average of 12.2 points during the win streak.
Alex Bentley added 20 points for Connecticut, which was the most recent team to beat the Mercury, 96-95, on June 12.
''We're rolling, we wanted to get all these wins and protect home court,'' Griner said. ''Connecticut beat us at their place, definitely remembered that in the back of our heads, wanted to get the win so we can enjoy All-Star (game) now.''
All-Star Diana Taurasi had 14 points and six assists for Phoenix, winners of 14 of its past 15.
After trailing by as much as 14 in the first half, Connecticut used some hustle - Chiney Ogwumike's put-back after being blocked by Griner, Douglas' steal of an inbounds pass before Phoenix ran off nine straight points and led 76-61 going into the final quarter.
Ogwumike had 14 points and 10 rebounds for Connecticut, her 10th double-double of the season.
Candice Dupree, an All-Star reserve, had 14 points and seven rebounds for Phoenix.
Taylor had 19 points, four rebounds, four assists and three steals in the first half as Phoenix opened up a 51-39 lead. Phoenix led by as much as 21 in the fourth quarter.
Taylor scored 12 points during a 3 1/2-minute stretch of the second quarter, then hit a 3-pointer from the baseline in the final minute of the period to put the Mercury up 50-36. Griner added nine points despite picking up her third foul with 1:53 left in the half. She had 17 points in the period.
''When you play on a team like this, the attention is sometime elsewhere,'' Taylor said. ''You have to have so much focus on BG (Griner), Diana (Taurasi), Candice (Dupree) and DB (DeWanna Bonner), and I think sometimes I can sneak in there and get a few easy ones. It was a good night for me, I made shots.
''It was just one of those games where it opened up for me.''
The Sun hit 10 of 17 from the field in the second quarter to stay close after trailing 24-14 following the first period.

Melodramma in un atto
I notice that Cavalleria Rusticana describes itself as "A Melodrama In One Act". I only mention this because football has been called "the opera of the people", and I've always maintained that football (and sport generally) is not a drama so much as a melodrama.
Jack Rosenthal might disagree though. Standing in front of a blackboard depicting a football pitch, he said something like:
"Protagonists trying to score. Antagonists trying to stop them. That's drama."

U.S. cotton producers are expected to plant almost 10 percent fewer acres in 2007, one of two factors that should lead to higher prices, according to an analyst speaking at the 2007 Beltwide Cotton Conferences in New Orleans.
Jarral Neeper, Calcot, Ltd., Bakersfield, Calif., says the largest regional reduction in acreage is expected to come in the Mid-South where cotton producers are expected to make significant shifts in acreage to corn, which is currently in the middle of a bull market.
Neeper projects planted acreage for 2007 in the United States at 13.9 million acres, down 9.2 percent from 2005. That includes a 16 percent decline in the Mid-South, a 6 percent decline in the Southeast and a small decline in Texas and Oklahoma.
"In the Far West, we're going to continue to lose upland acres, some of which will be offset by an increase in Pima acreage."
Production is expected to come in around 20.3 million bales, down 950,000 bales from last year's crop, Neeper says. "The Mid-South, with the largest decline in acreage, is expected to have the largest decline in production."
Neeper assumes an average national cotton yield of 763 pounds, which is down from last year, "but if there is less abandonment in Texas, that should work the average down a little bit. It wouldn't be unheard of to be around 800 pounds, so production could range as high as 21.7 million bales."
Total U.S. supplies will still be in excess of 25 million bales, "which means we're going to continue to have to export cotton to work supplies off the market. I don't think we'll get rid of as much cotton as USDA is suggesting. As of last week the export sales report was running about 4.1 million bales below that of a year ago.
"I'm not saying we can't get to a 16-million bale export number (for 2006-07), but to do that, we would have to sell more cotton that we've ever sold between now and the end of the crop year."
Neeper pegs total U.S. offtake at 20 million bales. "And next year (2007-08), I'm looking for an increase in exports to 17 million bales. That will be the fourth consecutive year of total U.S. offtake in excess of 20 million bales or more.
"World production will remain essentially unchanged at 116 million bales, even with a decline (2 percent) in overall area. World economic growth is the biggest driver in world consumption and we would expect to see another 1 percent to 2 percent increase there.
"If there are any worries out there, it would be due to worries that the United States might go into an economic slowdown, if not an economic recession."
Another thing to keep an eye on are exportable supplies, according to Neeper. "If you compare the December and November world production/consumption numbers, there really hasn't been much change since August. But that doesn't mean that things haven't been happening.
"Projected Chinese production has increased by 3 million bales over that time period and U.S. production is up a million bales. On the other side, Australia's production is down to 1.3 million bales, and is expected to fall even further. Production has also fallen in Pakistan, Syria and Greece.
"Projected Chinese consumption has been reduced by a million bales, and increased in India by a million bales. Domestic use in the United States continues to contract. We started out with 5.5 million bales and now we're down to 5.1 million bales and probably could drift a little lower before the year is out.
"As these changes have taken place over the course of the crop year, exportable surpluses in all foreign countries except China had decreased. One reason why we've had relatively poor prices the last three or four years had been a huge jump in exportable surpluses. Much of that has come from India."
Neeper noted that in 2003, India produced 13 million bales of cotton and consumed 12 million. "In 2004, with the help of Bt technology, they go to 19 million bales of production and they weren't able to increase consumption. This year, consumption is narrowing the gap. We believe that consumption will eventually catch up and we should see that exportable surplus continue to decline.
"With tightening supplies of cotton, prices should go a little higher. And I believe a lot of this friendliness is going to come because of what is expected to happen in the 2007 crop year.
"Prices will tend to respond a little slower than normal. I think we will work our way to higher prices, around the high 50s for the next couple of months until we get a better picture of how many acres are going to go from cotton into the grains.
"My target for the December 2007 contract is right around 70 cents a pound. I don't know if it's going to happen in April or September, but I do believe it will happen in the next 12 months.
"But we do have a lot of pressure at the wholesale and retail level which are squeezing margins along the entire line. If you hear one complaint out of a textile mill, it's that people aren't willing to pay more for anything versus a year ago."

Use high quality photos
Poor quality photos reduce the chance of visitors engaging with the site.
Focus on faces
People respond to faces, so try to use photos of one person facing the camera.
Choose appropriate images
Use a photo which helps you to communicate the message.
Take lots of photos
Take 5 or 10 photos, not just one; then you can pick the best one later.
Prepare photos for the best results
Cropping and preparing images with professional software gets the best results
A picture is worth a thousand words
It's a cliche, but it's true. People respond to photography, and using photographs effectively can make a huge difference to how users respond to your website.
This blog shares a few tips about how to choose photographs to support your site. Of course it's not ideal for every purpose, but it will show you how to make the most of every photograph.
Don't just use any old photo. Clear, bright photographs with a lots of contrast and colour can make people feel good about your organisation. Crowded, dark, blurry, dull photographs give a very different impression.
You don't need to be a professional photographer or a designer to follow this guide. You just need a digital camera (or camera-phone) and an understanding of best practice.
Make sure the photo you choose supports the story you want to tell
For example, you might wish to tell a positive story about the great work you are doing for young people. If so, it's better to choose a photo of a younger person, even if you don't think the photo is as "nice" as the one of the older person shown.
Make sure your photo fits with the context of the story you are telling.
Avoid uploading small photos
Treeline CMS makes a copy of each photograph in all of the sizes you need for the site. So you don't need to worry about scaling photos.
Shrinking a large original photo down retains as much detail as possible, and produces good results.
But scaling a small original photograph up produces bad results, as you can see in the example below.
The photo on the left is what happens when you make a small photo (inset) bigger. Compare it to a sharper, crisper version of the same image on the right - look at the amount of detail in the face. So always start from a large photograph, at least 800 pixels across.
Focus on faces
People respond to faces. So if you have the choice between a busy photo showing a lot of people, and a simple photo which shows one face, choose the one which shows one face.
Both of the photos above show people doing crafts. But the photo on the right is better, because it has more focus and a clearer composition. The photo on the left has too much going on, and nothing that really draws the eye.
A human face will always draw the eye and help to engage your audience.
The only good reason to choose the photo of four people is if you are creating a story about working as a team or specifically about the project these people are working on.
Advanced: Editing images
Treeline will automatically shrink and crop images to the sizes required by the website design.
But it's not able to choose which parts of the photo to focus on. If it needs to crop an image down it will simply cut pixels off each side equally, even if that means cutting the head off a person in the photo.
For the best results we recommend you buy a photo editing software package, such as Adobe Photoshop Elements (http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html) which costs £79 at the time of writing. You may also try the free GIMP photo editing software (http://www.gimp.org). Others are available, and there are free websites which let you crop images, such as http://www.picresize.com. However, the websites save the images at a lower quality, and the results aren't quite as good as Photoshop (although they may be fine in many cases).
Cropping images yourself will allow you to focus on the area you think is best, as shown in the example below.
The photo on the left is fine - it's a nice photo. But if you upload it to Treeline, it will simply scale the photos. If you want to focus on the man's face and hands, you will need to do that manually before uploading the photo. Treeline will still resize the photo to all of the sizes you need, but it will do it based on the composition of the photo that you think is best.
Focusing on the important areas of the image gets better results, because if you make things too small (as in the photo on the left, above) details such as the man's expression are harder to see.
The rule of thirds
If you decide to manually crop images, remember the rule of thirds.
The rule of thirds is a theory that photos are more interesting to look at if you put the area of focus in 1/3 of the frame, either vertically, horizontally, or both.
There is science behind this; it's not just a matter of opinion. People find it threatening to be stared at, and unless you know somebody very well you will naturally tend to stand slightly to one side of them so that you can make eye-contact, but don't stare directly at them. So framing a photo slightly off-centre makes people more comfortable when you look at the face, because it replicates the way we naturally behave around strangers.
The photo on the left places the man's face in the centre of the image. But the photo on the right places the man's face in the top, left corner. It is in the top 1/3, and in the left 1/3 of the photo. It looks more interesting, warmer, and most people would feel more comfortable looking at it. This is a good, simple way to give your photos a composition which is interesting and successful.
Once you're aware of the rule of thirds you will see it in the composition of most advertising photos, and in the way movies and television programmes are filmed.
What to do if you don't have a good photo
Digital cameras are relatively inexpensive, and many mobile phones include a good camera.
You should be able to take lots of photos, and choose the best ones for the website.
Remember to take photos in a high resolution - you can always crop them down later if the original photo is large enough, and at a high resolution. If you take a lot of photos you have more chance of getting one great image.
But if you can't take a photo, or if you need a photo which is impractical for you to take (for example a photograph of Sydney Opera House) there are other sources.
- In Treeline CMS there is an option to share photos with other websites that your organisation might use. So look in the shared photo gallery to see if another site has shared a suitable photo.
- Search Google images, although be wary of using images which have a copyright. There is always a risk that you will be subject to legal action. So be cautious.
- Try searching on www.flickr.com, the free photo-sharing website. Check on Flickr that the photo you use is subject to Creative Commons, which means you're allowed to use the photo as long as you display a credit on the site.
- Visit a website like www.gettyimages.co.uk, which is a commercial photo library. However, they do have a number of images which are copyright free, and you may be able to find one which is suitable.

A&M prof: Many smoke detectors won't save your life
Even though you change the batteries in your smoke detectors every fall and spring, they may not perform when it counts.
A Texas A&M professor who has been sounding the alarm about smoke detectors for years says most devices on the market and in homes likely won't work fast enough to save lives during a fire.
B. Don Russell, Distinguished Professor with the Texas A&M Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, has done experiments for news media using the two types of smoke detectors most widely available - those that use only ionization sensors and those that use photoelectric sensor technology.
There are also "dual-sensor" devices that employ both ionization and photoelectric sensors.
Although more expensive, dual-sensor smoke detectors and those that photoelectric technology alone are quicker to detect smoke from a smoldering fire, Russell said.
"Ionization smoke detectors are very slow to respond to dangerous smoldering fires that generate toxic gases," he said. "It's argued that over 90 percent of homes in America have only ionization smoke detectors."
Russell considers his smoke detector research to be a sideline, with his main area of interest being electric power systems, according to the A&M release.
"I maintain my interest in smoke detector performance because of the significance it has to public safety," Russell said. "Hundreds of people die or are injured each year in residential fires, too often because their smoke detectors did not provide a timely alarm."
Russell advises homeowners to scatter multiple smoke detectors throughout the home. Use detectors of both types or dual-sensor devices, he said.
A detector that has only photoelectric sensors is good for the kitchen because it won't sound a false alarm when cooking mishaps produce smoke, Russell said.
Many people are lulled into thinking their smoke detectors are very sensitive because they react to burnt toast, he said.
"Unfortunately, the smoldering fires that kill people don't have the same characteristics as burnt toast," he said.

We spend Thursday through Sunday together. Jed says Monday through Wednesday is his time to be alone. We don't talk or see each other during that time. We may email or text, but I'm not allowed to go to his house or call him. I have told him I don't want to still be packing for weekend trips to his house — it's 10 minutes away — when I'm 80.
I also never know how Jed feels about me. He never tells me he loves me, and if I say it, he'll say it back very quickly like it's an inconvenience. He doesn't compliment me or act like I'm important to him at all.
I'm financially stable but would have a better lifestyle if I could share the bills with someone. Marriage is not important, and I have explained that to him, but I want a full-time commitment. Am I wasting my time? — Time's a-Wastin' in Georgia
Do you realize that not once in your letter did you mention anything POSITIVE Jed does for you? He has told you directly that this is as committed as he's willing to get. Men who "love" women don't forbid them from coming to their home or calling; in fact, they WELCOME them. Jed doesn't say "I love you" unless he is cornered because it appears he DOESN'T love you.
Yes, you're wasting your time. If you want someone to share living expenses so you can enjoy a better lifestyle, find yourself a roommate.Husband acting less like a man
DEAR ABBY: I have been married for 29 years, and I'm having concerns about my husband. I'm not sure what to make of the fact that he is becoming effeminate.
For many years he has shaved his underarms, legs, etc., to the point that he is completely hairless. He recently lost some weight and is joining a gym. He wears women's stretch tights and a girdle to work out because he says it helps him sweat around his middle. He is also very concerned about exfoliating the bottom of his feet and putting lotion on his legs.
He says these things shouldn't bother me, but they do. I don't know what to make of it, and when I try to talk to him about my concerns, he blows me off. Do other men do this kind of stuff? I've only been with him, so I don't know. Can you give me another perspective? — A Little Worried in Wisconsin
These days some men wax, shave, moisturize and exfoliate their bodies. Your husband may wear tights at the gym because he looks around and sees younger men with sleeker physiques and he's self-conscious about his own. If he's not getting strange looks from others working out there, his attire may not be that unusual.
It's important that couples, particularly those who have been married as long as you two have, be able to talk to each other. Because some of this is a recent change in your husband's behavior, you deserve an explanation.

About Sears
It might be hard to believe considering its vast array of products, but Sears, Roebuck and Co. began with one accessory: watches. In 1886, Richard W. Sears bought a box of unwanted watches from a jeweler, thinking he could turn a profit by selling them. He was correct and committed to the watch business by hiring Alvah C. Roebuck, an experienced watchmaker.
As time went on, though, their business expanded its umbrella far beyond what people wore on their wrists. Sears became known as the place to shop for almost any appliance, from sewing machines to those magical boxes that create water from nothing and clean your clothes.
Today, the stores stock clothing, accessories, electronics, kitchen equipment, tools for outdoor living, and home decor. This variety is sustained by Sears's proprietary brands—Kenmore, Craftsman, and DieHard, to name a few—and other national names that populate the shelves.

CHICAGO – Listen to the many harrowing stories of war, suffering and survival, all under one roof:
On the third floor, there's Margie. A prisoner of Nazi labor camps, she hauled backbreaking cement bags and was beaten with clubs. Sometimes, she had only a piece of bread to eat every other day. She weighed 56 pounds when she was freed.
Down the hall, there's Edith. Although pregnant, she miraculously avoided the gas chamber at Auschwitz. She lost her mother, father and husband in the camps. After liberation, she faced even more heartbreak: Her son died days after his birth.
Up on the eighth floor, there's Joe. As a boy of 10, he was herded onto a cattle car and transported to a concentration camp – the first of five he'd be shuttled to over five cruel years.
These Holocaust survivors share a history and a home: a retirement community founded more than 60 years ago for Jews who'd been victims of Nazi persecution. For decades, it was a refuge for those who'd endured the living hell of Auschwitz, Theresienstadt, Mauthausen and other camps. And a haven, too, for those who'd fled before the dark night of German occupation fell over their homeland.
In its heyday, the Selfhelp Home, as it's called, bustled with Jewish refugees from Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia, the dining room a babel of central European tongues. Hundreds were on a waiting list. But that was long ago. As time passed, the need for a special sanctuary faded. Others who had not endured the genocide moved in.
Only 12 Holocaust survivors – the youngest in their mid-80s, the oldest 102 – remain. So do a few dozen other Jews who escaped Hitler's reach, often leaving behind family as they started new lives in Kenya, China, Colombia and other distant lands.
They're now the last generation to bear witness to one of the greatest horrors of all time, a resilient community of friends and neighbors sharing what once seemed impossible: long lives. When they're gone, their stories will be preserved in history. But for now, their voices still echo in these halls.
Seventy-five years ago, Margie Oppenheimer awoke with a Nazi pointing a rifle in her 14-year-old face.
It was Nov. 9, 1938, Kristallnacht – the night of broken glass – when the Nazis coordinated a wave of attacks in Germany and Austria, smashing windows, burning synagogues, ransacking homes, looting Jewish-owned stores. They trashed the family's apartment and small department store in Oelde, Germany.
So began seven years of terror that took Oppenheimer from the Riga ghetto – escaping mass killings by German squads – to a series of labor and concentration camps. She broke concrete, shoveled sawdust, laid bricks, glued U-boats. She fought hunger and fear, lice and typhus, repeating to herself: "I WILL be strong. I want to live."
Oppenheimer eventually became a nurse but couldn't bear to work with children. "Here you have happy, lovely kids," she explains. "All I saw were kids being pulled from their mothers and killed. Those are the pictures that I still have in front of me."
Even when it's unspoken, the past is the emotional glue for these survivors.
"I think it has been very important for them to live as a group, even though they don't talk about it," says Ethan Bensinger, who made a 2012 documentary, "Refuge," about the place his 101-year-old mother, Rachel, calls home. "Whether it's subliminally or unconsciously ... there's a feeling of togetherness."
Rachel Bensinger's story is not uncommon. She left Germany as Hitler's dictatorial grip tightened. She moved to what was then Palestine, but her life was unalterably shaped by the Holocaust – she lost 25 members of her family.
These traumas have been enormous, but they've not been all-consuming.
"They don't want it to be the focus of who they are, they don't want to be marked," says Hedy Ciocci, the home's administrator. "They want to be defined by who they became and what life they've had."
Many became doctors, lawyers, artists, businessmen, teachers, nurses. With roots in Berlin, Prague and Vienna, many also had developed a love for the arts that the home sustains today with lectures, Sunday concerts and visits from a movie critic.
"It represents this world that they remember, that they had to leave," Bensinger says. He describes it with the German word: gemutlichkeit – comfort or coziness.
The home actually started as an association in the mid-1930s when a branch of a New York organization called Selfhelp formed in Chicago. Selfhelp was more than a name; it was a philosophy for refugees who didn't want to depend on public aid. Instead, they started a support group, collecting meager dues to help each other find jobs or apartments, learn English and navigate daily life.
"The mission was to create a safe oasis where they could start again," says Ciocci, whose husband's grandmother was an early member.
About 15 years ago, with increasing numbers of survivors dying, Selfhelp began opening its doors to Jews who weren't European war refugees.
Soon, the reason this home was founded will cease to be.
"In a matter of years, this community will be gone, this sense of culture will be gone, these last links to what central Europe was before the war will be no longer be with us," Bensinger says. "There's a great sense of sadness for all of us."
That sorrow, though, has been tempered, by those still here to write the last chapter.
Edith Stern sometimes thinks her memory is too strong.
She remembers her improbable wedding ceremony in Theresienstadt. A concentration camp inmate with meningitis, she was too weak to stand, but strong enough to take her vows. Her head was bandaged and a pink silk gown peeked out from her blanket. Her groom stood at her side.
"All the people cried," she says with a wistful smile. "I laughed. I'd married the man of my dreams."
She remembers months later, she and her mother on a transport, thinking they were heading to a German labor camp where they'd be reunited with their husbands. Instead, they arrived at Auschwitz. Her mother was dispatched to the gas chambers, Stern to work. She was ushered into the camp by a female guard who pointed to the chimneys, and delivered a chilling taunt:
"'You see those flames? Those are your parents, your husbands, your children burning.' "
Stern also remembers the anguish when the pregnant young widow, newly freed, arrived at a Prague hospital. The staff, seeing a scrawny woman with a shaved head, thought she was a prostitute and the baby's father a Nazi. Stern says she was treated roughly at first. After three grueling days of labor, her son, Peter, was born. He had blood in his skull. He died three days later.
"He was," she says, "a beautiful baby."
Stern moved to Chicago in 1965 and joined the staff of Selfhelp, developing an instant rapport with the other refugees. "The reason I wanted to work there was I could never do anything for my parents because they were killed," she says. "These people could have been my parents ... I loved them and they loved me."
Now a stylish, lively 92-year-old grandmother, Stern says she always knew she'd return. Moving in 14 years ago, she says, was "like coming home." Her younger sister, Marietta, who spent the war with a foster family in England as part of Kindertransport, a rescue mission for Jewish children, lives across the hall.
Stern says she and other survivors are forever bound by experiences few can comprehend.
"We had these terrible mutual memories," she says. "When I tell you about my life, you cannot imagine it. But these people can. For you, my story is like a novel. For them, it's real life."
Every one of their stories has been recorded on DVDs.
Bensinger, the documentary maker, conducted 30 interviews five years ago. Since then, more than two-thirds have died.
But on any evening, there are silver-haired, slightly stooped survivors, profiles of sheer will, determination and fate, who gather for dinner and end another day.
There's Paula, 102, an artist and sculptor, who was on the run in France during the war with her husband and young son.
There's Trudy, 100, who settled in Kenya with her husband, leaving her parents in Germany. She never saw them again.
There's Hannah, 93, the sole survivor among her family, who's never forgotten her sister's parting words: "Hannah, you were my best friend."
And there's Joe Chaba, 85, and his wife, Helen. Married 55 years, they're inseparable, holding hands on the rooftop garden, whispering to one another, sharing meals. Helen, 89, has dementia; they have 24-hour nursing care.
Now in his twilight years, Chaba thinks more about his days in a camp at age 10, constantly staring death in the face — sometimes unloading piles of bodies from trucks — but never contemplating it for himself. Life was a day-to-day proposition.
He quietly pulls two snapshots from his wallet, handsome young men with thick crowns of wavy hair. One is him, the other, his older brother, David, his protector in five camps, now dead. They were the only survivors among their family of seven.
"By God's sake I'm still alive," he says, his voice quavering. "God helped me. I believe in God."
On the 75th anniversary of Kristallnacht, everyone will gather in the social hall for prayers, readings and a candle-lighting ceremony.
The Selfhelp home has plaques and art — some created by the residents — that recognize the terrible events of long ago. But there is no single memorial to the Holocaust that has brought them together.
It's part of the home's philosophy, says Efrat Stein, an outreach worker.
There's no need for constant reminders of the past, she says: "This is a place to LIVE."

Yes Men Release Movie Via BitTorrent To Avoid Legal Hassles
from the getting-it-out-there-is-most-important dept
Of course, these days, there are more ways around this -- such as releasing the film yourself online using BitTorrent or some other system. TechnoMage points out that this is the path taken by notorious pranksters, The Yes Men for their latest movie: releasing it via BitTorrent, and asking for donations. Of course The Yes Men have some advantage in that they're already pretty well known, but the legal troubles they faced in getting the movie out were interesting. There's the unique situation in that they're currently being sued by the US Chamber of Commerce for their prank fake press conference, where they pretended to be US CoC officials changing the organization's policy on global warming. The movie includes footage from that event -- and lawyers flipped out about showing such footage while the lawsuit was ongoing.
Of course, stuff like that may be unique to The Yes Men -- but other situations, involving copyright, are not. Take for example this bit of info:
"For us to get our 'errors and omissions insurance' required for any distributor to take it, we had to clear the rights on all sorts of stuff we should not really have had to... including music written in the 17th century, which apparently because of some kind of law in Austria was not public domain according to the interpretation of insurance industry lawyers!This is a problem many face. It'll be interesting to see if more indie filmmakers jump on alternative distribution platforms not just because they're more efficient, but also because it gets them around having to deal with overbearing E&O insurance issues.

But he was lucid and answering questions. Not like Chad Johnson was after that Cleveland game, lol.

It would be nice if they were to air it here! I was very disappointed they missed Kamisama Hajimemashita!
It is not bad, cheesy but not bad.
this should go on the other thread, but fall 2012 is ok for now and has the potential to get better
His Holiness Optimus Maximus Decimus Meridius Colossus Nemesis Nexus Genesis
Been reading the manga of this for months now and pretty excited. Apparently, a pre-aired episode already aired somewhere but I haven't seen it yet.
Going to watch it in about 24 hours as this series has "drama" written all over it.
Animanga hunter extraordinaire
Will watch this later!
Check out my channel: YouTube.com/BDT87
Episode 1
Here we go, one of the series that I have read the manga and has been following for awhile now.
A good start so far (just like in the manga) and the design of Mei's characters looks plain, simple, but realistic. In fact, some of the characters in the beginning actually mocks her somewhat for her simple looks.
Shit, there's already drama in the first 5 minutes of the episode with those nasty attitude girls. I swear to God if I was there...
Anyways ya, this series has the word "drama" written all over it and is defined in many ways like this:
Tbh though, I really liked Mei's cute side. It's...cute
I like how real stuff develops though with the stalking that gets a bit serious in this episode. But hey, we got a cool guy to protect Mei, right? Anyways, excellent episode imo and this is possibly one of the highlights for me this Fall. Nothing less expected from this series imo.
Animanga hunter extraordinaire
well i say quite a hmm to watch.
girl who is quiet & don't got friends give have trust issues give accidental kick to guy who seem fallen for girl after kick.
give phone number which later came in cause lead main female get her first kiss?!
oh my so looking to what happen next?
i quite liked this anime, looking forward to ep 2
*runs off to get ep. 1!!*
Ive been reading this manga for over a week, and absolutely love it.
Poi is the new Desu!
I love this manga! So upset CR didn't license it.
*runs around squealing with happiness* I loved it! It was if the manga magically came to life.
Poi is the new Desu!
Really good first episode. Interesting story and very believable characters. Feels really Kimi ni Todoke-ish.
My Jumbo Jet Flies Cheerfully.
Stark where did you watch the episode? The sub I got I think was more honestly translated. She was called a bitch in the note in the manga.
Poi is the new Desu!
First episode was pretty good, I'll keep watching. Plus now I have a new manga to go read, bonus!
Similar to Kimi ni Todoke.
Mei is friendless just like Sawako.
Yamato is like Kazehaya, even got the big smile.
But the reason why Mei is friendless isn't the same reason as why Sawako is/was.
Great that Yamato came to her rescue, and nice way to do it xD
Yamato looks like a characther who would fit very nicely in a yaoi, and I wouldn't mind seeing that. Get on it yaoi fangirls XD

In their second trip to Pat Thomas Stadium this season, the Altamonte Springs Snappers came up just one run short to the Leesburg Lightning in a battle between opposing pitchers. With their fifth one run loss this season, the Snappers are now just a game under .500 with an overall record of 7-8.
Looking to even his win-loss record to 1-1 in his second start of the season, Snappers' starting pitcher Brad Boob (Coker College) threw seven solid innings, allowing only one run on five hits and two strikeouts. In his three appearances as a Snapper this season, Boob has a 1.88 ERA in 14.1 innings pitched with an opponents batting average of .235.
"Boob had a great outing last week too and to walk away with another one run loss hurts," Snappers' Pitching Coach Jared Lewis said. "He's the guy that you want out there to throw strikes, change speeds and hit spots. That's what we always say pitching comes down to, and he's the poster-child for it."
In the first inning the Lightning had two base runners reach base. With runners on second and third, Boob tagged out a runner attempting to score to shutout the Lightning after one. Boob's lone run would come in the fifth.
"I didn't want to start the game off that way, but we got them out with no runners scoring and as soon as we did I calmed down and just went back at it," Boob said. "I was able to spot my slider pretty well tonight and was working both sides of the plate and hitting my locations makes for another good outing."
With two outs in the fifth, after reaching base on a Lightning error, Snappers' right fielder Daniel Schuh (Southeast Missouri State) attempted to score from second on a hard-single to left by Snappers' first basemen Alex Aycoth (Redlands CC) for the Snappers' first hit of the ballgame. Unfortunately, Schuh was thrown out by the Lightning's left fielder Matt Simonelli (The Citadel) in a close play-at-the-plate.
In the home half of the fifth, the Snappers fell behind 1-0 after the Lightning's latest arrival, right fielder Kevin Mierzwinski (UNF), reached base on a fielder's choice and later scored on an RBI single by Simonelli.
Snappers' center fielder Jason Bush (Cumberland University) landed a stand-up double to left-center for his league-leading fifth double of the season to lead-off the top half of the seventh. With the Snappers threatening to pull ahead, Snappers' catcher Ben Braaten (Iowa Western CC) and Snappers' designated hitter Ray Allen (Dartmouth) each drew walks, loading the bases for the Snappers.
Entering the game in the seventh, Lightning pitcher Blake Marsocci (Stetson) bailed out his college teammate Ian Thompson (Stetson), who pitched five scoreless innings of one-hit baseball to earn his first win in his first game for Lightning. Marsocci would eventually work his way out off the bases loaded jam with no runs scoring to earn his league-leading sixth save of the season. Marsocci pitched three innings and had six strikeouts.
"To me it almost seems like we're too tentative at the plate," Lewis said. "We're taking good pitches and I would like them to be a little more aggressive at the plate. We really didn't hit that well [in the win over Sanford] to score those first eight runs, but once we had a comfortable lead, it seemed like we swung the bat better and were much more aggressive."
The Snappers have an off day on Friday before returning home to play a doubleheader against the first place Winter Springs Barracudas. Pitching for the Snappers in those games will be Bo O'Dell (Florida State) and John Durham (Warner Southern College). Appearing in three games and starting one for the Snappers this season, Durham's win-loss record is 0-1 with a 1.08 ERA in eight and one-thirds innings pitched. O'Dell's three wins lead the Snappers' pitching staff this season and his .188 opponents' batting average is fifth in the FCSL.

Ravivar, or Sunday, is dedicated to Lord Surya or Suryanarayana. Upvaas or fasting on the day is dedicated to the Sun God. Red is the color of the day. The vrat is observed for overcoming troubles related to skin. It is also observed for getting blessings in new ventures.
Those people who undertake fast on the day only eat food once that too before sunset. Salt, oil and fried food items are avoided.
Red color flowers are offered while praying. Red color sandalwood paste is applied as tilak on forehead.
Extra care is given on cleanliness of the body and surrounding.
It is believed that Ravivar Vrat will help in fulfilling desires. People with skin diseases observe the Vrat to get relief.
Many devotees also give alms on the day.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Maybe the starburst wasn't a good effect on my part, I was going for a flush of energy knocking them out... I guess after playing so many Star Wars games, I like having a little of that in the photonovels sometimes.

This summer I needed a white, manchego-cheese layer for a cold vegetable terrine that I was creating, and I started out with cauliflower because of it's lack of color, but also it's chameleon-like flavor once cooked. It worked beautifully, beyond my wildest dreams (no one guessed the cauliflower, either in that terrine or, sans cheese, when gelled and sliced as a foundation for a lobster and tarragon salad. It has proved so versatile that I've made it several times and will be serving it again tomorrow night. Each time, though, since I had to make this one up from scratch, I've varied my approach slightly, in part because time has passed and I've never written it down to remember my exact steps. I'm changing that by posting my recipe here.
1 whole cauliflower (average commercial size)
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup almost boiling water
1/2 cup sour cream
3 packets powdered gelatin
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
3 tblsp chopped fresh chives
Break the cauliflower head into large florets. Place in a large saucepan with about 3/4 c water, bring to a boil, put lid on, reduce to low and steam for 20 minutes. When done, remove lid and remove from heat. Let cool. (Or proceed, but allow the entire mixture to cool somewhat before adding the chives. You don't want to cook them.)
Separately, put the almost boiling water into a two-cup measuring vessel and, using a fork, stir in the gelatin packets, one at a time, until dissolved. Then stir in the sour cream, salt and white pepper. Pour this mixture into a blender along with the cooked cauliflower. Blend until very smooth, adjust seasoning, and stir in the chives. Pour into a mold at least six hours before serving.

NEW YORK (AP) - Sarah Palin is heading into her debate with Joe Biden, easily the most-anticipated vice presidential faceoff ever, weighed down by fresh evidence that voters are developing serious doubts about her readiness for the job.
A new AP-Gfk poll released Wednesday found that just 25 percent of likely voters believe Palin has the right experience to be president. That's down from 41 percent just after the GOP convention, when the Alaska governor made her well-received debut on the national stage.
There's a potential bright side: Thursday night's debate in St. Louis gives her a chance to overcome the doubts in a 90-minute showcase, the first time most Americans outside Alaska will see her in a lengthy give-and-take session.
The downside: A poor performance debating Biden, the Delaware senator, former presidential candidate and longtime foreign policy expert, could cement a negative image for the rest of the campaign.
Palin has been preparing at Republican presidential candidate John McCain's retreat in Sedona, Ariz.
Biden was doing his own intensive preparation near his home in Wilmington, Del., though he was going to Washington for Wednesday night's vote on the economic rescue package.
As for Palin's prospects, "the expectations are set so low for her, she could fake everyone out," said Scott Reed, who managed the presidential campaign of Republican Bob Dole in 1996.
"Palin needs to clear the bar and reframe the debate around Barack Obama and his tax and spend record," he said. "She's got to show a grasp on the issues and she's got to talk about Obama. Most importantly, she's a reformer. She's got to get back to that."
Democrats, meanwhile, were doing what they could to dispel the notion that Palin is a sub-par debater. The Democratic National Committee e-mailed news stories to reporters describing her able performances in debates in 2006 when she was running for Alaska governor.
And Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, one of Obama's most prominent surrogates, tried to lower expectations for Biden on a conference call with reporters.
"My friend Joe Biden has a tendency to talk forever and sometimes say stuff that's kind of stupid," McCaskill said.
Asked to clarify her remarks, McCaskill said she meant them "affectionately."
In an emotional twist, Biden's son, Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, was to deploy this week for Iraq, where he'll serve a year as a member of the state's Army National Guard.
In the new poll, the declining sentiment for Palin was noticeable even among Republican likely voters: Just 47 percent now believe she has the right experience to be president, down from 75 percent in the previous survey. Initially, Palin's selection was widely praised by Republicans and especially conservative voters who have been wary of McCain.
The poll of 808 likely voters was conducted Saturday through Tuesday and had a sampling error of 3.4 percentage points.
A series of interviews with CBS News anchor Katie Couric recently raised questions about how well-informed she is on a range of issues the next president will face.
In a segment that aired Tuesday, Palin declined to cite a newspaper or magazine when asked what she had read regularly before McCain picked her as his running mate, saying only that she had read "most of them."
Pressed for an example, Palin told Couric: "I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news, too. Alaska isn't a foreign country, where it's kind of suggested, 'Wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C., may be thinking when you live up there in Alaska?' Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America."
In an interview Wednesday with NPR, McCain said he had turned to his running mate for advice many times. And in a testy exchange with the Des Moines Register editorial board Tuesday, amid questions about Palin's credentials, McCain replied, "If there's a Georgetown cocktail party person who, quote, calls himself a conservative who doesn't like her, good luck." Palin has echoed the anti-Washington sentiment, telling Couric the tough coverage she's received is attributable to "media elite, the Washington elite" not knowing who she is, rather than her gender.
The 90-minute televised debate was to take place at Washington University in St. Louis, with PBS anchor Gwen Ifill serving as moderator.
Ifill herself has come under criticism as the moderator from some conservatives because she is writing a book on blacks and politics, with a chapter on Obama.
Associated Press Writer Sam Hananel in Washington contributed to this report.

Already own Flower or Flow? Then have the PS4 version for free
Thatgamecompany's Flower and Flow will both be released on PS4, it has been confirmed.
It gets better, however – those who have previously purchased the games on PSN will receive the updated PS4 versions for free. Sony says that they'll be available upon the machine's launch on November 29th in Europe and November 15th in the US.
Both games are also getting a release on Vita.
As is the way with Thatgamecompany, both games are visually wonderful meaning that their arrival in 1080p and 60fps on PS4 is a great addition to the console's line-up.
Queasy Games' Sound Shapes has also been confirmed as a PS4 launch title along with former Vita exclusive Escape Plan. All four games will support Cross-Buy.
There's even a video, which is right here. All they need to do now is announce a PS4 version of Journey and it will literally be like Christmas arriving early:

I am using a BorderLayout and trying to resize the center region when the left side panel is collapsed. My center region is a tab panel. One of my tabs contains a grid panel. I want to resize any panel that is in the center region tab panel on collapse.
App.centerTabPanel is a reference to the tab panel in the center region. App.mainPanel is just one of the tabs I am testing the resize with.
Nothing gets resized, I have my tabs with layout "fit". The tabs with a gridpanel do get resized only when I reload the store.
Can someone please help? Thank you very much!
Here is my code:
Ext.override(Ext.layout.BorderLayout.Region, {
onCollapse : Ext.layout.BorderLayout.Region.prototype.onCollapse.createSequence(function() {
//App.centerTabPanel.doLayout(); //doesn't work
//App.centerTabPanel.getActiveTab().doLayout() // doesn't work
//App.centerTabPanel.syncSize(); // doesn't work
App.mainPanel.getStore().reload(); // this works, when the store reloads it resizes the grid

Over A Tie? Saleman Fired For Wearing A Packers Tie!
"With Chicago reeling from Sunday's painful playoff loss, Monday morning probably wasn't the best time for car salesman John Stone to share his love for the Green Bay Packers with co-workers and customers. But Stone, 34, proudly showed up for work at Webb Chevrolet in Oak Lawn wearing his green-and-yellow Packers necktie anyway. Now he's former car salesman John Stone. The morning after the Chicago Bears' hated rivals beat them at Soldier Field to advance to the Super Bowl, Webb's general manager Jerry Roberts said he fired Stone for refusing to remove the Packers tie. The facts aren't in dispute, only the appropriateness of the novelty neckwear. "He said, 'You have two options,'" a furious Stone said Monday. "Remove the tie or you're fired. When I didn't, he said, 'You can leave, you're fired.' Does that sound fair to you?"" - Southtownstarnews

ppl who believe breed Myths while owning the breed.
i usually keep my Rants and what not deep inside in a chest thats locked.. but Today i totally want to punch some one out. First it starts with people saying dog that Karma doesn't have any pitty in her at all. and she looks border collie(just cause of her colouring). When i say she does but she probably a mix even though my brother was told she was a purebred. well anyways then i talk about how Nyx and Karma when playing can get a bit rough and you can totally tell theres terrier in her, they give me like OMG looks and look at her differently..(which i am used to with my choice of dogs). But what set me off to today was my mom friend over and mom was acting like she was going to hit Karma with a pillow while she was laying in my lap(NOTE: my mom wouldnt actaully hit the dog), well i missed my moms friend comment and then she said it again. the comment that pissed me off is the LOCKJAW that all pitbull breeds have. so when i told her they don't lock their jaws she made a comment about how her son gf said they do... OK they people Just got a pitty from the SPCA and they are believe the myths about the breed...
I will admit that the pitty breeds will hold on and not let go of what they have but then again any dog will do that also.
My mom is seeing how i am getting worked up over the fact that people believe this stuff when you own a breed. My family knows my love for dogs and how i can't stand when people believe the worse in a dog with out meeting it.
I know people go into the spca all the time n just see a cute dog and think what a great pet and don't see the breed or could careless. but people should really find out what they can about what the dog could be mixed with and know facts or myths.
Pitbull can hold on for a long time because of the shape of their face , their jaws are very powerful but I never heard of the jaw locking on
I can say this all pitty(type as many fall under the pitty term) mixes and purebreds that i met are all great family dogs. ya some aren't sure of other dogs but the owners even admit its there fault for not having them more social as a pup but are working on and the dogs are doing great.
I just looked up do 'pit bull have strong jaws ' and found mixed opinions about the pit bull dog having jaw that 'lock ' . There are some the think is a myth and others that think it true. More black dogs are put down as people believe the myth about black dogs being aggressive . I think there is some kind of myth about most breeds of dogs no matter what they look like. '
My dog was attacked by a Corgi mix and that dog would not let go of my dog when I hit it with my cane. Any dog is able to bite and hold on . I saw 2 polices with their dogs at a park showing people how they train their dog. One cop had his dog 'attack' his arm and then gave the dog a demand to release and the dog did so. The second cop had his dog attack his arm then he gave the demand to release and his dog did not let go. The cop had to kick his dog to let go. I thought OMG what if that dog attack a person and his trainer can't get him to let go. Both dogs where German Shepherd and , and the dog that had to be kicked off his trainer arm did nothing wrong , it was his trainer fault for not knowing how to handle his own dog. He was not in command of his dog.
The bully breeds are known to chomp down and hold on. They can let go when they want to. If they couldn't every such dog you ever saw in a photo of it happily swinging by it's jaws from a tire swing would need the fire department to cut it loose. Other breed individuals can do it too. My Lab does it when we play tug. Till I tell him, GIVE.
I wonder if there is some kind of record time for tire swinging?
My last dog a Standard Poodle would do the same too when I played tug of war with him , Finlay would hold on as long as felt like it. That police dog would not let go of the cop's arm, the dog was hanging and that cop was really kicking the dog in his ribs. I was shocked watching that happen .
ya its kind of scary when handler can't control their dogs, more so police and you got to think the police and army and all that are trained to hold on even when its being hit and what not.
but i totally bet that police officer and his dog totally went back to training right away to make sure everything working out.

Leavenworth frustrated by visiting Olathe North.
Playing through a blistering heat, the Lansing and Immaculata girls' tennis teams renewed their rivalry on Tuesday.
On a day where temperatures on the playing service neared triple digits, it was the Lady Lions that got the best of the Lady Raiders — winning all nine matches save for one.
"I think it was a tough day for us and Imac and all the girls did really well considering the heat," Lansing coach Ed Fenton said. "I'm pleased with the fact that we won all three doubles matches because a couple of those were tight, especially the No. 1 doubles. They were actually behind and came back to win and for being mainly singles players, that was good to see."
The Lady Lions swept doubles play as Cheyenne English and Katie Rathjean defeated Olivia Wilson and Sydney Simek 8-7 (7-2) in the No. 1 doubles bout. The No. 2 pairing of Alanda Kohl and Valyssa Layton topped Liz Lee and Abby Meirose 8-5 while Savannah Baker and Jenna Hinckley dropped Priscilla Hernandez and Elena Nine 8-0.
Imac's top highlight and lone win on the day came from the No. 1 singles match where Wilson beat English 8-6.
"Our singles play showed where the hard work of the first few weeks of the season is beginning to pay off," Raiders coach Manuel Hernandez said. "Olivia maintained consistency in her ground strokes and was able to handle Cheyenne's mix of shots throughout the match."
The rest of the singles results included No. 2 singles Rathjean winning 8-2 over Simek, Kohl taking a 8-6 victory over Lee and Layton edging Meirose 8-3. Baker also beat Olivia Theus 8-3 in the No. 5 singles while Hinckley dispatched Hannah Wilson 8-0.
"All the girls, both Imac and Lansing, worked hard today and they battled some high temperatures as they represented their schools well," Hernandez said. "The Lady Lions were the stronger team today and it was a tough loss for us overall, but I commend them for their efforts."
Immaculata will next compete in the Sabetha Quad on Thursday while Lansing is at DeSoto on Monday.
Eagles shut out Lady Pioneers
The Leavenworth girls' tennis team hosted Olathe North Tuesday and had troubles throughout the day with its visitors.
Fighting through oppressive heat, the Lady Pioneers lost all nine matches to the Eagles.
"Unfortunately, it was a tough day out there all around for us," LV coach Shad Langfoss said. "There were some girls that got light-headed from the heat but it goes both ways and Olathe North played well."
To begin with, Meagan Brucker and Sydnie Lundy fell in the No. 1 doubles match 8-1 while the No. 2 pairing of Christina Dominique and Megan Kelly were beat 8-2, as was the duo of Anna Salvatorelli and Maggie McDonald.
In singles play, No. 1 Brucker was topped 8-5, Lundy taken down 8-2 and Dominique defeated 8-1. In the No. 4 singles match, Salvatorelli lost 8-3, Kelly was upended 8-5 and McDonald was tripped up 8-2.
"We are going to work more on serves because we had a few too many double faults today," Langfoss said. "We are doing good with volleys and I think the girls are getting so much more comfortable at the net that we will continue to encourage that."
Leavenworth will next compete at the Bishop Miege Tournament on Sept. 14.

Senator Wyden Calls Out Content Companies For Wanting To Censor The Internet
from the kudos dept
Sandoval also got a comment from Wyden's office, suggesting the Senator is still standing up for what's right, rather than bowing to political pressure:
"Senator Wyden has long worked with U.S. industry on combating the trafficking of counterfeit goods like fake shoes and apparel. But going after trade in real merchandise can be done in a variety of effective ways, like inspecting shipping containers at American ports of entry to identify and seize fake merchandise.Nicely said. Hopefully he sticks to it and doesn't cave in to the pressure.
"Unfortunately, the content industry has piggybacked on the legitimate efforts of apparel designers to combat counterfeit goods and now threaten the integrity of the Internet as a means to combat intellectual property infringement. The Internet is too important to our economy and to advancing American values to be inappropriately regulated and censored under the guise of protecting IP, which is why Congress and the Administration should be as cautious as it is surgical when it aims its sights on the Internet."

8 Ways to Catch Full Moon Fever in Northern California
Northern California's beautiful in any light, but it's hard to beat the glow of a great big silvery moon for ambience. This August, the moon will reach the closest point in its orbit of the Earth, giving us the eye-popping spectacle of an extra-large "super moon." Not in our lovely neck of the woods on August 10th this year? Not to worry: you've got about a dozen chances each year to enjoy a full moon in Northern California, and we've got nearly as many ways for you to take advantage of it.
Here are eight of our favorite ways to catch full moon fever in Northern California this summer and all year 'round.
1. Get Zen
The 55 acres of exotic flora at the San Francisco Botanical Garden comprise one of the loveliest and most peaceful areas of the city. But after hours, you can quite literally see this gorgeous oasis in a different light – if, that is, you're quick enough to snap up tickets for one of the Botanical Garden's popular Japanese Full Moon Walks.
On or around the night of the full moon, expert docents show groups of lucky ticket-holders just how different familiar plants look in the moonlight. The night ends with tea and cookies at the Moon Viewing Pond.
If you go: Stay at one of HI USA's three San Francisco hostels.
2. Take a Hike
Visitors and locals alike have long loved the Marin Headlands for its coastal breezes, abundant wildlife, and panoramic views of San Francisco's iconic skyline. In fact, make your way up to the top of the park's Conzelman Road and you'll recognize the views of the City by the Bay from countless postcards and promo shots. But while the Headlands' views tend to get all their screen time in the bright daylight and juicy hues of sunset, it's the nighttime when the views really shine.
For an unrivaled spectacle of mother-nature-meets-metropolis, plan a trip to the Headlands for the night of a full moon. The occurrence of this celestial superlative is the only time each month the park opens up the trail to the historic Point Bonita Lighthouse after dark. Sign up for one of the park's free, docent-led full moon hikes and you'll gain rare access to trails with unparalleled views of the plump moon rising over the Golden Gate. Just be sure to secure your spot early, as space on these popular hikes is very limited!
If you go: Stay at HI Marin Headlands. Even if you're not able to get out to the Headlands during a full moon, you can still take a free sunset hike around the park led by the folks from the hostel on Friday evenings.
3. Go for a Paddle
If you prefer the reflection of the moon on the water to the glare of streetlights, it's time to make your way to Tomales Bay. Just south of San Francisco, this area's famous for its oyster farms, locavore restaurants, charming small towns, and close proximity to the Point Reyes National Seashore. And once night falls, the local offerings only get brighter.
Case in point: local outfitter Blue Waters Kayaking offers regular sunset and "bioluminescent" trips out on the bay leaving from the small town of Marshall. Paddle out on the night of a full moon, though, and you're in for a special treat, as the night and the water take on a fairy-tale glow.
If you go: Stay at HI Point Reyes, located within the bounds of Point Reyes National Seashore, just a few miles from Marshall.
4. Soak in the Views
Ask any visitor to HI Pigeon Point Lighthouse hostel about the best part of their stay and there's a good chance they'll start gushing about the famous cliff-side hot tub. The tub lets hostel guests take a soak while waves crash below and the rotating beacon of the lighthouse flashes above.
On a clear night, the celestial views from the hot tub are stunning; on the night of a full moon, they're magic. For real-time updates on Pigeon Point's room availability during the full moon and beyond, follow the hostel on Twitter @PigeonPtHostel!
If you go: Sign up for your half-hour hot tub time slot when you check in at HI Pigeon Point Lighthouse. The hot tub is available only to hostel guests, and spots are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. The hot tub is open from 4:00 p.m. – 10:30 p.m. and costs $8 per person per half hour; two person minimum.
5. Go Tide Pooling
What's the secret to great tide pooling? The lower the tides, the more ocean inhabitants you're likely to see. And tides reach their lowest points when the moon swells to its fullest, making the days surrounding the full moon the perfect time to get out and peer into the pools.
Some of the best tide pools in California pop up along the coast just south of San Francisco. Check to see when the tide's rolling out and then make your way to the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, just a few minutes from HI Point Montara, or to the string of tide pools just down the road from HI-Pigeon Point Lighthouse.
If you go: Stay at HI Point Montara or HI Pigeon Point, each located in the shadow of a historic lighthouse along the stunning California coast.
6. Listen Up
The full moon doesn't just mean low tides are at their lowest – it also means high tides are at their highest. And there's one off-the-radar spot in San Francisco that's been using high tides to make sweet, sweet music for nearly 30 years. Located along San Francisco's waterfront in the posh Marina District, the Wave Organ is an "acoustic sculpture" that gets "played" throughout the day by the waves of the bay.
The project, resulting from collaboration between a senior artist from the Exploratorium and an expert stone mason in the 1980s, is just as interesting visually as it is acoustically. Pieced together using materials from a demolished cemetery, it's the only place in the city to look on granite carvings and marble flourishes while you listen to the ocean singing.
If you go: Stay at HI San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf, then walk all the way down the waterfront to the Marina Green, where you'll find the Wave Organ tucked away on a jetty behind the harbor.
7. Go Underground
In the 1860s, Sacramento suffered a series of floods so devastating that the city was forced to raise its street level by about 10 feet. While the massive street-raising project created the Sacramento we know today, it also left a warren of disused pathways and caverns underfoot. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, the Historic Old Sacramento Foundation offers nighttime walking tours of the forgotten city beneath California's capital for the 21-and-over crowd ($20). While these tours promise to take you underground and out of the moonlight, a full moon will add an extra-eerie air to stories of the courtesans, crime, and colorful characters from the city's past.
If you go: Stay at HI Sacramento, housed in a beautifully restored historic mansion in the heart of the city.
8. Get Spooked
If you've ever wanted to get the low-down on the unsavory side of San Francisco's history – from murder mysteries to lingering ghosts – the best way to start your investigation is by the light of a full moon. Too scared to go out on your own? No sweat: there are professional ghost hunters and history buffs ready to ease you into the spooky world of San Francisco after dark. Try the Haunted Haight tour for some paranormal chills in one of the city's most famous neighborhoods, or the SF Ghost Hunt for a supernatural tour of ritzy Pacific Heights (tours $20 each). If you're craving even more spooky thrills, be sure to check out our list of the Bay Area's haunted hot spots.
