Lorenzo Bressani And Uka Uka Racing Take Lead At Melges 24 Worlds
17 May 2011
Day two of the 2011 Melges 24 Worlds in Corpus Christi, Texas delivered two spectacular races sailed in near perfect conditions, under crystal clear skies and in a solid breeze which built from 15 up to around 19 knots throughout the day. Lorenzo Bressani on ITA 817 Uka Uka Racing, and Brian Porter on USA 749 Full Throttle, traded blows at the front of the fleet in both races, with Bressani winning ahead of Porter in Race 3 and then Porter holding off Bressani to take the win in Race 4. Bressani's near perfect performance today means that he tops the leaderboard tonight with an 11 point lead over Kristen Lane on USA 812 Brick House 812, whose 10, 3, scoreline sees her in second overall, tied on points with Flavio Favini on SUI 596 Blu Moon in third, and Andrea Racchelli on ITA 735 Altea. Yesterday's overnight leader Nathan Wilmot on IRL 607 Embarr could only manage a fifth and an eleventh today, dropping him down to fifth overall.
Reveling in the windier conditions on Day 2, Brian Porter on USA 749 Full Throttle and Lorenzo Bressani on ITA 817 Uka Uka Racing, spent both of today's races engaged in their own private battle at the front of the fleet. Bressani led the first race of the day from start to finish, with Porter chasing hard throughout in second. In the second race of the day, it was Porter who led at the windward mark ahead of Bressani who arrived at the buoy on port tack, just a couple of boat lengths behind. With no gap to tack into, Bressani was forced to duck behind two boats before then rounding in fourth. By the leeward gate, a charging Bressani was up to second and clearly focused on closing Porter down even further. As the leading pair blasted down the final run, Bressani had reduced Porter's lead to just a few lengths, and the Italian appeared to be gaining with every gust. In the last few feet to the finish, Porter, coming in at pace from the right, just managed to pull off a gybe in front Bressani, who was hurtling in from the left. With Bressani arriving at full speed on the layline to the finish, Porter was just able to complete his gybe in time enough to surf home, only a few feet ahead.
Despite finishing tenth in the first of today's races, Kristen Lane at the helm of USA 812 Brick House 812, proved that her race win on the opening day was no flash in the pan, when in the second race of the day she clawed her way back from a poor windward mark rounding to ultimately take third. Rounding the final windward mark in seventh place, Lane showed blistering pace down the last leg to move within striking distance of the pack of boats all scrapping for third. Nailing the port layline into the finish with absolute precision, Lane came in very hot from the left to snatch third place, after just managing to thread herself between the pin end line boat and the fast approaching bowsprits of Andrea Racchelli on ITA 735 Altea, Flavio Favini on SUI 596 Blu Moon and Bora Gulari on USA 820 New England Ropes/West Marine. Lane's gutsy maneuver has earned her second place in the overall standings at the end of Day 2.
It is a testimony to the extremely close nature of the racing at this championship that second placed Lane is in a three way tie on points with both Favini and Racchelli, who are in third and fourth places respectively. Indeed just six points separate second from seventh overall. A fifth and an eleventh today for yesterday's regatta leader Nathan Wilmot on IRL 607 Embarr sees him drop to fifth place overall, with a four point advantage over Alec Cutler on BER 655 hedgehog in sixth. After a poor opening day by his own standards, Brian Porter on USA 749 Full Throttle has moved up to seventh by way of his 2,1 performance today.
Now holding an eleven point advantage at the top of the standings, the reigning world champions on Uka Uka Racing, were looking understandably calm and relaxed after racing today. "Yes it was a good day for us." commented their tactician Jonathan McKee. "We are obviously very happy with the way things went today. We managed to get off the line quickly and we felt we had good boatspeed in those conditions." Asked if he had been following a particular strategy today, he had this to say "It was all surprisingly subtle out there. The wind was pretty steady and there wasn't a consistent side of the racecourse which seemed to pay. It was more about finding the best pressure downwind and avoiding the bad sets of waves upwind." Trimmer Federico Michetti, paid this tongue in cheek tribute to his helmsman. "Rufo (Lorenzo Bressani) likes the breezy conditions, so this makes it very easy for the rest of us. He is like a racehorse, we just take the blinkers off his eyes at the start, and off he goes!"
In the all amateur Corinthian Division, Eiichiro Hamazaki on JPN 783 continued to dominate with another pair of bullets to give him an 11 point overall lead over August Hernandez on USA 533 High Voltage in second and Christof Wieland on GER 635 Unsponsored in third.
With the normal weather system in Corpus Christi now appearing to have re-established itself, local opinion suggests that tomorrow may bring windier conditions still. Racing on Day 3 is scheduled to start at 11 AM local time with two more races scheduled.
Racing at the 2011 Melges 24 World Championship in Corpus Christi Texas continues tomorrow Wednesday 18 May and runs through until Saturday 21 May.

remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances that have no apparent causal connection with one another
Coincidence is a collection of two or more events or conditions, closely related by time, space, form, or other associations which appear unlikely to bear a relationship as either cause to effect or effects of a shared cause, within the observer's or observers' understanding of what cause can produce what effects.
- See also:
- People are entirely too disbelieving of coincidence. They are far too ready to dismiss it and to build arcane structures of extremely rickety substance in order to avoid it. I, on the other hand, see coincidence everywhere as an inevitable consequence of the laws of probability, according to which having no unusual coincidence is far more unusual than any coincidence could possibly be.
- Isaac Asimov, "The Planet that Wasn't" originally published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction (May 1975)
- A "strange coincidence," to use a phrase
By which such things are settled nowadays.
- George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788-1824), British poet. Don Juan. Canto vi. Stanza 78
- This is just too much of a coincidence to be coincidence.
- Said by Geoff Chester of the Naval Observatory in Washington, in connection with a boom and flash of light seen over Virginia Sunday night (March 29, 2009) during the same time frame the second stage of the Soyuz rocket launched the prior Thursday was slated to return to Earth.
- Andrea Thompson, Mystery flash traced to Russian space junk MSNBC, Mar. 30, 2009.
- My liveliest interest is not so much in things, as in relations of things. I have spent much time thinking about the alleged pseudo-relations that are called coincidences. What if some of them should not be coincidences? My liveliest interest is not so much in things, as in relations of things. I have spent much time thinking about the alleged pseudo-relations that are called coincidences. What if some of them should not be coincidences?
- Charles Fort, Wild Talents, ch. 2 (1932)
- By the laws of statistics we could probably approximate just how unlikely it is that it would happen. But people forget—especially those who ought to know better, such as yourself—that while the laws of statistics tell you how unlikely a particular coincidence is, they state just as firmly that coincidences do happen.
- Robert A. Heinlein, The Door Into Summer, ch. 8 (1957)
- Coincidence may be described as the chance encounter of two unrelated causal chains which — miraculously, it seems — merge into a significant event.
- Arthur Koestler (1905–1983), Hungarian-born British author. "Janus: A Summing Up", Bricks to Babel: Selected Writings, with Comments by the Author (1980)
- I have told you before there is no escaping the nature of the universe. it is that nature that has again brought you to me. Where some see 'coincidence', I see 'consequence'. Where others see 'chance', I see 'cost'.
- The Merovingian, in The Matrix Revolutions, written by the Wachowski Brothers (2003)
- Coincidence is a pimp and a cardsharper in ordinary fiction but a marvelous artist in the patterns of facts recollected by a non-ordinary memorist.
- Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977), Russian émigré American novelist and poet. Look at the Harlequins! Pt. VI, Ch. 1 (1974)
- If Tom had learned anything, it was that you can't ascribe great cosmic significance to a simple Earthly event. Coincidence, that's all anything ever is. Nothing more, than coincidence. Tom had finally learned there are no miracles, there is no such thing as fate, nothing is meant to be. He knew, he was sure of it now. Tom was.. he was pretty sure.
- Narrator in (500) Days of Summer, written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber (2009)
- Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.
- Tom Shadyac, Director's commentary for Dragonfly
- In a world that operates largely at random, coincidences are to be expected, but any one of them must always be mistrusted.

If you substitute flacked corn (which I have a little of), does that go into the boil too (and not the mash)?Thanks for any guidance to the amature here!-Bill

|Sophomore WR Chris Denton had a
46-yard catch-and-run for a TD in
Norwich's 31-23 win over Gallaudet.
Norwich athletics photo
NORTHFIELD, Vt. – Junior RB Andrew Fulford rushed for 136 yards and two touchdowns in the first half as the Norwich University football team escaped with a 31-23 victory over Gallaudet University in Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC) action on Saturday afternoon at Sabine Field. The Cadets run their record to 5-1 overall and improve to 2-1 in the ECFC.
The game got off to an exciting start as Fulford took the opening snap 62 yards to pay dirt. Junior K Long Ding converted the extra point to put the Cadets ahead 7-0 only 17 seconds into the game.
The opening fireworks continued as Phillip Hayes returned the ensuing kickoff by senior K Ryan Kelly all the way to the Norwich four-yard line. Only a touchdown-saving tackle by freshman Nael Pierre-Louis kept Hayes out of the end zone.
Gallaudet (1-3 overall, 1-2 ECFC) wasted little time taking advantage of the great field position as QB Jimmy Garder ran the ball in on the next play to knot the score at 7-7.
The Cadets began their next drive at their own 27-yard line. After rushes by Fulford and sophomore RB Danny Triplett moved the ball near midfield, sophomore QB Kris Sabourin hit sophomore WR Chris Denton with a 46-yard catch-and-run that went the distance to put Norwich up 14-7 with 12:23 to go in the first frame.
A Gallaudet punt towards the end of the first quarter set up a seven-play, 80-yard drive for Norwich. Fulford again broke free, this time for a 26-yard touchdown scamper to cap the series. The score extended the NU advantage to 21-7 with four seconds left in the quarter.
The Cadets' defense and special teams units would be responsible for the next score. After the defense forced a three-and-out, Gallaudet's fourth-down snap went over the punter's head and out the back of the end zone for a safety to make it 23-7 with 6:31 to go in the half.
Norwich used another one-play drive to add to its lead when Sabourin broke free on a 57-yard touchdown run with 2:50 remaining in the half. The Cadets went for the two-point conversion with Sabourin successfully rifling a pass in to junior WR Adrian Dantzler to push the lead to 31-7 going into halftime.
NU outgained the Bison 368-58 in total offense in the first half, racking up 13 first downs to GU's four.
Gallaudet's offense got jump-started in the second half following a Tony Tatum interception of a Sabourin pass at its own two-yard line. The Bison went for the big play after the turnover as Gardner launched a deep pass to Ryne Worsham, hitting him in stride. Worsham was able to weave his way to the end zone after hauling in the pass, eluding a handful of NU defenders along the way. GU went for two, with Gardner successfully running the ball in himself to make the score 31-15 in favor of the Cadets with 4:49 left in the third stanza.
Another interception cost Norwich dearly when Tatum stepped in front of an errant pass by Sabourin for his second interception and returned it 39 yards for a score. Gallaudet again converted a two-point try, this time with Hayes bouncing it to the outside and getting in just inside the right pylon, to pull within eight at 31-23.
The turnover bug continued to haunt the Cadets on their next drive when Fulford fumbled the ball at the Gallaudet 20. Steven Barber picked up the ball for GU and rumbled all the way down to the Norwich 10 where Denton caught him from behind on a nice hustle play to keep him out of the end zone.
The Cadet defense came up big, stopping three runs and a fourth-down pass for the goal-line stand with 12:36 remaining in the contest.
Following a punt by senior P Brian Segit, the teams would exchange fumbles leading to a Gallaudet drive starting at the Norwich 47. Junior DB Sean Stone made a spectacular interception on Gardner's fourth-and-nine pass, leaping to snare the ball out of the air at the NU 19. Stone proceeded to return the ball 20 yards to Norwich 39-yard line with only 2:16 to go in the game.
The Cadets then went three-and-out with the Bison using all three of their timeouts to conserve the clock.
Segit's punt went out-of-bounds at the GU 35, leaving Gallaudet with 24 seconds on the clock and 65 yards to go for the potential game-tying score.
Gardner hit Worsham on first down for a twelve-yard completion to their own 47-yard line, stopping the clock to move the chains.
Following two incompletions, Gardner hit Josh Hanna for 14 yards and another first down at the Norwich 39-yard line.
After clocking the ball, Gardner found Ryan Bonheyo on screen pass that was sniffed out beautifully by junior DB Jeramie Little and stuffed for a five-yard loss.
After spiking the ball to again stop the clock, Gardner's last chance throw on fourth down from the NU 44-yard line was batted away by Stone as the game clock expired.
The Cadets were led defensively by senior LB Rocco DiMeco (eight tackles, 1.5 tackles-for-loss) and senior DL Chris Roberto (seven tackles, one sack and one TFL). Senior LB Daniel Reale added a forced fumble and sophomore DL Joe Munno had a fumble recovery.
Fulford finished the day with 172 yards on 20 carries to go with his two touchdowns. Sabourin added 132 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries for NU and went 7-for-18 through the air for 114 yards and a touchdown.
Denton had two catches for 55 yards and a score, while senior WR Emilio Martinez had four catches for 53 yards to lead the Cadet receiving corps.
Both teams ran 64 plays on offense with the Cadets holding a 475-268 edge in total yards for the game. The Bison held the advantage in passing yards 128-114. NU finished with 19 first downs to Gallaudet's 12.
Norwich will continue its home stand next Saturday, Oct. 16, when they host Husson for Parent's Weekend. Kickoff for the ECFC tilt is set for 1:30 p.m.

Pedestrian hit on Park Street given verbal warning
The woman who was hit by a car outside the New Canaan train station Thursday was issued a verbal warning for crossing the street against a crosswalk signal, police said Monday.
The 45-year-old pedestrian, who police believe had just gotten off the train, was crossing Park Street at about 7:25 p.m. when a vehicle struck her, police said.
The New Canaan woman was on the northwestern corner of Park and Elm streets while the vehicle, a Mercedez 4Matic, was traveling south on Park Street, according to police. Witnesses at the scene told police that the traffic light was green for Park Street traffic.
"The pedestrian was attempting to walk across Park Street in an easterly direction and stepped off the curb," Sgt. Carol Ogrinc said in a press release.
The victim was hit by the right front side of the vehicle and sustained a broken leg, police said.
The driver, a 24-year-old male from South Salem, N.Y., immediately stopped and remained at the scene, according to police. Chief of Police Leon Krolikowski said the driver was "shaken up" but was being "very cooperative."
More InformationFact box
The woman was transported to Norwalk Hospital, where she stayed until Friday, Ogrinc said.
"It looks like she's going to be OK, but we're really concerned about her condition," Krolikowski said at the scene on Thursday.
The northern part of the intersection was closed Thursday night so police could investigate the accident.
"This is kind of a fatal accident scenario the way we're investigating, but we don't believe it's going to be," Krolikowski said at the scene.
Early reports stated that the victim was 50 and also from South Salem, N.Y.
Though he doesn't know if that was the case, the chief noted that it's common for people leaving the train station not to pay attention when crossing the intersection. Krolikowski said the police department is planning to do some education on safe crossing for pedestrians in the area.
The investigation is continuing.

River tours of Europe continue to be the rage, but there's another way to hit the water on a smaller, more intimate vessel: barge cruises. They're super small -- 12 cabins accommodating 24 passengers -- and go at a more leisurely pace than river cruises.
CroisiEurope offers a seven-day cruise on the Madeleine along the Marne-Rhine Canal in eastern France. The trip begins in Strasbourg and ends in the Moselle region, traveling past the fields of the Zorn Valley and villages on the way to Saverne.
The canal winds through the Vosges Mountains to Lutzelbourg and through what's called the Artzviller Incline plane, a kind of boat elevator that takes the place of navigating through 17 locks on the canal, the company's website says. During the days, passengers can cycle (bikes are on the barge) along the canal and tour at their own pace. The trip ends with stops in Xouaxange and Lagarde before returning to Strasbourg on the last day via coach.
Date: Trips begin June 6, July 4 and Aug. 29.
Price: $2,306 per person, double occupancy, if booked by Dec. 1. It includes barge cruise, meals and drinks (beer and wine) and tours. International travel to and from Strasbourg is extra.

Three University of South Carolina Beaufort athletes earned Sun Conference player of the week honors Monday.
Katie Rietkovich was named softball player of the week, Caitlin Campbell was named softball pitcher of the week and Kelli Nakano was named women's golfer of the week.
Rietkovich had a huge day in the 21st-ranked Sand Sharks' only action of the week. The junior second baseman went 4 for 5 with three home runs and seven RBIs in a doubleheader sweep against Edward Waters, helping USCB improve to 8-0.
Campbell, a sophomore from Charlotte, N.C., allowed three hits and struck out six over four scoreless innings to improve to a team-best 3-0 and lower her earned-run average to 1.65.
It marks the second time this season USCB has swept the weekly honors.
Junior shortstop C.J. Browder and freshman pitcher Ashlie Layman claimed the initial awards two weeks ago. USCB did not play during the second award period of the season, so it did not submit any nominations.
Nakano is the first honoree of the spring season for women's golf. The senior from Cave Creek, Ariz., has been the top finisher for the 12th-ranked Sand Sharks in their first two tournaments.
Nakano tied for 16th at the World Golf Village Invitational and tied for 10th at the SCAD Spring Invitational.

Elvis Presley: The Man was a literally King and had more class than many of his peers and successors.
For Insulting Elvis Presley Mr. Marc Lamont Hill Please Go stand at the Intersection next to Graceland.
Ronald Reagan: The Man who did what your side said could not be done; Beat the Soviets.
For Insulting President Reagen Mr. Hill, go lock yourself in a cage with Rabid Actor-Monkies.
Justin Bieber: Not One of my Favorites, but I know he isn't trying to out do "R&B"
Donald Trump: Whatever Trumps Failings, I am sure he has helped more people than you ever will Mr. Hill. Please go jump off the Trump Tower.
Prince Harry: Despite his poor judgement from time to time, his comment to his duties is unquestioned. Which I am sure that is something you know very little about Mr. Hill, Please go fly RAF Copters in Afghanistan in Prince Harry's Place, we need him more than you.
Tim Tebow: One of the best of this current crop of NFL stars. You could use a lesson in Humility Mr. Hill, so please show us how to Blitz please.
President Ubama's Economic Team: A Bunch of Putzes like you Mr. Hill.
William Shakespeare: Than man who made the English Language what is today. Please equal that achievement Mr. Hill.
Babe Ruth: A Person who was the best at what he did and made no apologizes for it. Mr. Hill, please bat-a-thousand (without steroid use)

Bill Walton: Mr. Hill you weary me. Sufficed to Say Bill Walton deserves his spot in the Hall Fame, something of which you will never be apart of.
Sarah Palin: A Leader of the Conservative Moment and one of the Greatest Threats to Comrade Ubama's plans.
Finally for insulting Sarah Palin Mr. Hill, please either go take a long walk off a short bridge into a Polar Bear pen or GTFO OF MY COUNTRY YOU USELESS PUTZ!
Michael Moore counts as 2&1/2
In this case I suggest the piece of junk is more meaningful than Hill.
Not your best, but you do a lot of good work, TLS.
A person with no appreciation for Shakespeare, The Babe, The King or Reagan does not diminish Shakespeare, The Babe, The King or Reagan. It brands one an uncivilized fool. One can argue the rest ( except maybe Bill Walton) but not Shakespeare, The Babe, The King or Reagan.
I especially enjoyed the "Please go..." portions. I think
Donald Trump: Whatever Trumps Failings, I am sure he has helped more people than you ever will Mr. Hill. Please go jump off the Trump Tower.is my favorite in that regard. LOL
It's a bit much to say Shakespeare made today's English. I can't find many people speaking Shakespearian English on the stretch, though conversation and especially writing is peppered with his phrases. "Assassination" was coined by him, I think, among various other words, but we probably say as many words popularized by for instance Aristotle.
My objection to Shakespeare's inclusion is that obviously the listmaster merely casted about for the most famous white guy he could think of and threw him in. Why not Isaac Newton? Makes even more sense, since his system was proved a fraud (so to speak) by relativity and quantum physics. Or why not Jesus, for that matter, although he's probably considered nonwhite.
I truly think it could just as easily have been Caesar, Napoleon, Socrates, Alexander, or any of the most famous Europeans. But pretty much everyone likes Shakespeare, so he was most useful for Nanjing hits.
What, no room for Dag Hammerskjold, Bill Moyers, Jon Stewart, Bruce Springsteen, and Picasso?
Bill Clinton is/was a slimebag pig. Those who enabled and enable him, most in the Democrat party, are 10x worse. He would be on the national sexual predators list and a nobody if it weren't for his enablers.
How about the 15 most OVERRATED NBA players (starting with LaBron James) who are black...
If I made that list...I'd be a racist!!
Kirstie Alley, Dr. Phil, Chelsea Clinton..
hear, hear!
Justin Beiber is white??????
Not only white but Canadian, LOL
Julia Roberts, Alec Baldwin, Ashton Kutcher...
This racist idiot said The Babe was a chump because he never batted against black pitchers. So by this logic, Eddie Robinson was a chump coach because his team only played against black teams.

JAMES Hayter's second-half penalty earned Yeovil Town a vital 1-0 victory over Doncaster Rovers in their quest for survival in the SkyBet Championship.
Hayter fired home from the spot after debutant Duane Holmes had been tripped by James Husband in the area.
Despite the win, the Glovers remain bottom of the table after fellow strugglers Barnsley beat Millwall 1-0 at Oakwell – but afterwards, manager Gary Johnson was quick to emphasise the importance of the result.
He said: "I thought we deserved the result, one-nil is a bit hairy scary when you're in our position because we knew how much we needed to win this game and coming in and hearing all the results afterwards, it was very important to win this game, just to stay in touch – with Barnsley and Charlton winning, but it has brought back to us, probably Millwall and Doncaster because of this result.
"It was a great performance and a real good team spirit performance, it wasn't pretty at times, but it's very difficult to play on the pitch out there at the minute with all the rain we've had, so credit to the boys."
Yeovil started the game strongly and Ishmael Miller could have given them an early lead, but he swept Joe Ralls' cross wide from inside the penalty area.
Tom Lawrence's fizzing free-kick was well saved by Rovers' goalkeeper Sam Johnstone on 27 minutes, before the visitors almost snatched the lead against the run of play – when Jordan Bowery's shot was well blocked by Shane Duffy.
Yeovil's last league win came against Blackpool on December 3, but their fortunes turned on the hour mark when new loan signing Holmes was tripped by Husband as he burst into the area.
Hayter stepped up to dispatch the penalty and fire the Glovers into a deserved lead – and it could have been two soon after, but Kieffer Moore's point blank effort was expertly kept out by Johnstone.
Dawson's late header smashed against the crossbar as Yeovil pushed for the killer blow, but Hayter's penalty proved enough for the hosts, who condemned Doncaster to their tenth away defeat of the season.

Last week I had the pleasure of visiting the SoHo showroom of Joy Cioci. I was there to take a look at her fall 2012 collection 'Seductive Survival', but I found myself captivated by her colourful spring summer line.
A dazzling palette of crimson, soft pink, pale blue and bold yellow is a treat for the eyes. Layers of flowing chiffon, leather accents and semi-sheer fabrics come together to create a light and romantic collection.
Photos: Lydia Hudgens.
This Chartreuse dress made from laser cut leather is one of my favourite pieces from Joy's spring summer line. When I saw this dress in the showroom, I realised that my evolution from ambassador of monochrome to someone who can embrace print and colour was complete. The cut out pattern is unique and I adore the peplum overlay with the belt to cinch in the waist. It makes what might otherwise have been quite a stiff and static piece very feminine.
For more details on this Meagan dress, along with pictures of the entire summer 2012 collection click here. I'm very much in love with Joy Cioci's designs and have a couple more to show you on the blog over the next couple of months.
Wearing: Meagan dress, Joy Cioci. Clutch from the Etsy shop of Curly In The City; Fetish Sandal from Mango.
I hope you're having a great weekend, Blog Reader. I've been busy entertaining a friend from the UK over the 4th July holiday and on Sunday it's off to Austin for a week of adventure. I'll be posting occasionally next week as I'm travelling but you can follow my escapades here on my Travel Tumblr.

Indians blank Mariners 6-0
CLEVELAND (AP) — Justin Masterson struck out a season-high 11 in seven shutout innings and Michael Brantley homered and drove in four runs off Felix Hernandez as the Cleveland Indians toppled yet another former Cy Young Award winner on Sunday with a 6-0 win over the Seattle Mariners.
Brantley hit a three-run homer in the second inning off Hernandez (5-3), who failed to go at least six innings for the first time this season.
Article continues below ...
Staked to an early lead, Masterson (7-2) was dominant for the second straight start. He allowed three singles, easily outdueled Hernandez and ran his consecutive scoreless innings streak to 19. He shut out the New York Yankees 1-0 on four hits in his previous outing.
The Indians improved to 7-1 against Cy Young recipients, knocking off Hernandez, R.A. Dickey, David Price, Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Bartolo Colon and Justin Verlander.
The AL Central-leading Indians have won 17 of 21 and are a baseball-best 20-7 since April 20.
Following walkoff wins in the first two games of the series, Cleveland took the drama out of this one early, building a 5-0 lead after two innings against Hernandez.
The 2010 Cy Young winner, who left his previous start after six innings with back stiffness, came in with the league's lowest ERA (1.53) but it rose to 2.07 after he gave up six runs and eight hits in five innings. Hernandez struck out eight, including the final three batters, but he was wasn't on his game — and neither were the Mariners.
Seattle was only charged with one error, but the Mariners made several mental mistakes that helped the Indians.
Not that Masterson needed any.
The big right-hander overpowered the Mariners, who couldn't catch up to his 97 mph fastball and only had two runners reach second base against him. The Indians were hoping Masterson could develop into their ace, and so far this season he's been the dependable front-of-the-rotation starter they desperately needed.
Pitching with a six-run lead, he got stronger as the game progressed, striking out five of the last six and seven in the last three innings.
Brantley's three-run homer with two outs in the second gave the Indians a 5-0 lead over Hernandez.
The right-hander, who needed 35 pitches to get through the first, retired the first two hitters on groundouts before Michael Bourn singled and went to third on Jason Kipnis' base hit to center. Brantley then drove an 0-1 pitch into the Indians' bullpen in center for just his second homer.
It was a stunning development against Hernandez, who came in having allowed just four earned runs in 44 innings over his past six starts.
A fundamental gaffe by Hernandez allowed the Indians to add a run in the fourth. With Mike Aviles at second after a double, Drew Stubbs topped a ball into the dirt that catcher Jesus Montero fielded in front of the plate and threw to first for the out. Aviles never slowed coming around third and scored easily because Montero got caught up the line and Hernandez failed to cover home.
The Indians jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first off Hernandez, who didn't get much help from his defense.
Bourn led off with a single that he alertly turned into a double when right fielder Michael Morse casually charged the slow roller into right-center. One out later, Brantley hit an RBI single and took second when Morse overthrew his cutoff man while trying to get the speedy Bourn at home.
Nick Swisher then hit a grounder that went through first baseman Justin Smoak's legs, giving Cleveland a 2-0 lead.
NOTES: Cleveland's starters are 13-4 in the past 21 games. … White Sox RHP Jake Peavy is the only former Cy Young winner to beat the Indians this season. … Masterson is the fifth starter to record double-digit strikeouts against the Mariners in 2013. … The Indians will try to complete the four-game sweep on Monday as the teams conclude their wrap-around series with a matinee. … Smoak has reached safely in 13 consecutive games. … The Indians are 9-1 against the AL West. … The Mariners failed to homer for the first time in 10 games.

Hi all,
Any help on this would be appreciated.
After upgrading to the linux version 4.5 my paid commentary modules (Clarence Larkin, Companion Bible and a couple others) will only open if:
1) I install them into the usr/share/bibleanalyzer/modules folder, and
2) If I run BibleAnalyzer as root (in Ubuntu 12.04, from terminal - "sudo BibleAnalyzer").
This is not just for the first time. Whenever I open the program normally, I cannot see those modules (whereas I can see the Bible modules that have been copied into the same folder.
I tried putting them into the HOME/Documents/BibleAnalyzer folder, and the HOME/.Bibleanalyzer folder (not simultaneously), but to no avail.
I have tried deleting the config4.ini files and anyother file I could think of to see if that helped. I also deleted them from /usr/share/bibleanalyzer/... before placing them into the ~/Documents/BibleAnalyzer folder and tried that. I have completely removed the application and reinstalled. Nothing is fixing the issue.
When I run BibleAnalyzer as root, if I try to export S-pad notes as a file, the resulting file is available only to root, which means an extra step to change the permissions of that file before I can copy/paste its contents into my end document for lesson preparation.
Update: Since I first wrote the above, I have doubled checked, and the only difference with permissions between the modules that work without running as root, and those that do not, was that the box was not checked to allow to execute as a program. I checked that box and tried again, still no success.
In other words, it seems to me that all modules have the same permissions.
Any ideas?

Country Notes
This compilation of country codes and laws is intended to assist grantmakers and their advisors when undertaking equivalency determinations for foreign grantees under IRS Revenue Procedure 92-94. Specifically, this section describes the legal framework of nonprofit organizations (also known as non-governmental organizations or NGO's) in select countries, along with translations of legislative provisions relevant to an equivalency determination under IRS Revenue Procedure 92-94.
These reports have been prepared by the International Center for Not-for-Profit Law (ICNL). Please direct corrections and comments on the country notes to Mai El-Sadany.
Structure of country notes
Each country note examines provisions of local law that should be considered under IRS Revenue Procedure 92-94 when undertaking an equivalency determination for a foreign grantee.
Each note contains hyperlinks to the following information, to the extent available:
- Longer country reports analyzing various aspects of local legislation;
- Texts of local laws that affect the decision whether or not to qualify a grantee (generally in translation, although the Council cannot warrant the accuracy of any translation; in addition, legislative excerpts were selected by in-country contacts, and the Council cannot warrant that all relevant provisions have been translated); and
- Lists of contact persons knowledgeable in local NGO legislation
This section is designed to give grantmakers and their advisors general information that they will need in preparing foreign public charity equivalency affidavits. The reports should not be relied on as providing specific legal advice about the application of local law or about a given grantee. ICNL can assist any grantmaker or advisor with additional analytical services, including analysis of pending and recently adopted legislation, to the extent such assistance is required.
Help create new country notes
The country notes section of the currently covers 35 countries or regions. While the list is extensive, it obviously does not include every country where U.S. foundations and corporations are making grants. The country notes are grant-funded and the Council on Foundations would like to hear from grantmakers who might be interested in funding the creation of one or more new country notes. Inquiries should be directed to Natalie Ross.
The purpose of the site is NOT TO GIVE LEGAL ADVICE, but rather to give grantmakers and their advisors an opportunity to access potentially relevant materials in a quick and meaningful way. Recognizing that the NGO legal situation is often fluid and interpretations of local law vary, users are advised that the Council on Foundations and ICNL is not liable for inaccuracies in the country notes or accompanying translations. Rather, users of this site who believe that information in this section is incorrect should inform Mai El-Sadany at the International Center for Not-for-Profit Law of any necessary corrections.

The Big Idea 2012
Performance Dining, allergy software, customizable burgers and seven more big ideas.
Hosting Healthy Meetings
North Carolina State University, Raleigh, N.C.
We recently went through our catering menu and looked at it in terms of health and allergens. We are always getting questions from customers about allergens or what items are gluten free on the catering menu. So we made an allergen-focused catering menu. Each of our catering event coordinators has a catering menu that marks items in terms of their allergens, so they can say to a customer, 'If you get this buffet, here are the options for a person with this allergy.'

Soundgarden Announce 'Screaming Life' / 'Fopp' Reissue
Earlier this summer, Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil hinted that he was spending some of the band's downtime focusing on a reissue of the band's two early EPs -- 'Screaming Life' and 'Fopp.' It now appears as though everything is good to go as the two EPs are packaged together for the 'Screaming Life' / 'Fopp' reissue due Nov. 26.
The two releases arrived in 1987 and 1988 respectively, helping to launch the band's career. Sub Pop will be reissuing the disc, and Spin reports that the collection will also include the track 'Sub Pop Rock City' that was included on the 'Sub Pop 200' compilation. The set will be available digitally for the first time and the set will also be offered in the vinyl format for the first time since the late '90s.
Jack Endino, who produced 'Screaming Life' and is responsible for the remastering of the tracks, recalled that period with the band in a statement. It reads as follows:
Ah, 'Screaming Life,' Soundgarden's debut, and one of the first real records I made for anyone outside my own band, I already knew Soundgarden pretty well, since they and Skin Yard had shared the stage many times in Seattle's tiny club scene circa 1985-1986. Soon after opening Reciprocal Recording in July 1986, there I was with Soundgarden, trying to make the most of our eight tracks. Somehow, we found room for all of Matt Cameron's "bonus tubs," Hiro's primordial Fender bass, and a whopping four tracks to share between Kim Thayil's mad guitar psychedelia and Chris Cornell's still-expanding voice. 'Nothing to Say' was the song that made us all look at each other and go, "uh, holy crap, how did we do this?"
Speaking of 'Nothing to Say,' fans can watch a new promo made for the song above. If you're interested in the 'Screaming Life' / 'Fopp' reissue, it's currently available for pre-order at this location.

Carrie Underwood Rescues a Chipmunk From a Horrible Fate
Carrie Underwood is a true animal lover in every sense of the word. She loves all creatures and critters equally. The 'Blown Away' singer tweeted a photo of a baby chipmunk she rescued from a terrifying fate: the jaws of her dog, Ace.
Underwood shared a picture of the adorable little critter cradled in a pair of hands. "Meet Dale. My dog, Ace, tried to eat him today!" she posted. "Good news: the vet does take care of chipmunks and Dale is doing fine!"
We're glad to hear that Dale escaped certain death and that he is doing well. Though, it seemed to surprise many that Underwood actually took a chipmunk — which aren't really pets — to a vet, but she did. She acknowledged the unusual nature of her action, but hey, she was looking out for the little guy! She doesn't plan to keep him as a pet, however. She will return him to the wild, far, far away from Ace.
"And yes, I did take a chipmunk to the vet. And no, I'm not keeping him!" Underwood revealed. "He will be released into a different yard with no Ace to chase him!"
The animal kingdom is lucky to have a human advocate like Carrie Underwood looking out for all members of its population, big and small. She's also pretty kind to her fellow humans, as well. Case in point: Giving a 12-year-old fan his very first kiss recently — onstage, no less.

(that i stumbled upon digging trough remnant box, and that happened to cost just under 5 euros)
same pattern changes as before
no huge jersey waistband
just regular sized waistband in self fabric, with 2cm wide elastic
(been thinking for a moment to make a regular pants closure
with zipper and everything
but i kind of liked the idea of elasticated waist wool and silk trousers more
as a fun mix of high and low)
see more pictures on my blog mokosha

4. Yeah,That Must Be It...
It couldn't have anything to do with the makeup of the poll's respondents or the sample size, it must be just because of your negative opinion of him.
I hope these trends don't continue. I want MCCain to be behind in the polls and then win - nothing like watching an election night meltdown at the DUmp. :D
This really funny is its own weird way.
Fore years DU has been trying to convince everyone ( including themselves) that they are in the middle
But now to hear that they are on the far left .....?
But still they are deluded enough to believe that everyone thinks just like them.

There is great talk about this recent poll in Hillary supporter/moderate Dem circles. Some are hoping the party sees just how vulnerable Obama is and how ill equipped he is to be President. The Denver convention might prove to be interesting.

I've been bored a lot too. We have been hit with two major snow storms. We had four snow days last week and today and tomorrow will be two for this week.
At least you have something to look forward too coming up. Enjoy it!ReplyDelete
I'm in the same boat as Joan. We have had nearly 4 years worth of annual snow fall in one day! I'm really ready for spring.
Oh dear i'm so glad our snow seems to have disappeared. I'm with you guys, SO ready for spring!!! Not long now!ReplyDelete

LACK shelves from IKEA with a handmade cushion atop make for this DIY window seat plus storage. Check out those books plus neatly folded sarongs stored away under the seat.
What a cool way to store such beautiful sarongs or other fabric. It keeps them neatly folded but also proudly displays their beauty where you can appreciate it on a daily basis.
A wider view reveals that the seat is made to take up the full width of a broad window. And the LACK's height is just right for tucking in under the window sill's apron. This apartment looks like a treasure trove of other fantastic DIY projects. Check them out via Flickr member shnnn's photos, licensed for use by Creative Commons.

In 1999 at the height of the technology boom, a charismatic
guy approached me to see if I'd be willing to leave my job at
UNC to come work for him. He was positioning his new company, Zoom Culture,
to take advantage of multimedia technologies debuting on the Internet.
Intentionally bald and sporting a goatee and black turtleneck, he combined
evangelical zeal with MTV attitude and style. At our initial meeting
he presented me with numbers suggesting that signing on with his company
could make me very rich. Afterward, he sent me an email that read almost
like a poem:
Over the next year I was allowed to test the waters while working part time as a contractor. During that year the company continued to grow, winning round after round of venture capital funding and laying claim to an office suite within walking distance of my house in Carrboro. I looked forward to my frequent visits, which would inevitably be met with handshakes, high-fives, and introductions to two or three newly minted Internet stars brought in from across the country. Eventually, that office space was nearly over-run with rowdy people, bikes, and piles of digital video equipment.
The pictures displayed together here were all taken on a single evening, at a Christmas party in December 2000 celebrating yet another round of funding and a new business model geared toward TV. I was asked to be one of the "paparazzi" that night to add to the spectacle that had been planned, which included employees arriving by limo posing as VIP's. By the time the company finally shut its doors in January of 2003, having consumed twenty million venture capital dollars, most of the people shown in these pictures had long since moved on to other things, many of them victims of shakedowns and restructurings that began to hit when the economy went sour. I decided to keep my feet planted within academia, a decision I'm glad I made now that the company has called it quits. But given the contagious events unfolding around me during that year, a portion of which these pictures bear witness to, I'm glad I had the opportunity to choose.
—Todd Stabley January 2003

The band members in the webcap resemble the band Blasmusik Puerto Varas. The uniforms are the same, and the guy on the left might be Boris Eduardo (go here, then click Músicos>mugshots). I can't find a tuba, though.
That inset photo makes me wonder if Jet/Cord might have found some kindred souls in Chile.
It also makes me think that Jordan and Jeff made it to at least the third episode. Possibly they could be that far into the Andes in the second episode, but I doubt it. The timeline refers to a sheep ranch in the third episode. Could that have been taken there?
Bulletin Kill.
Once host Phil Keoghan sends the contestants on their way and before they reach the first Pit Stop at the end of the episode, no fewer than three other teams do things that are completely and totally perplexing to an outside viewer. Without delving too greatly here into what takes place in the episode, it is more than fair to say that plenty of people watching at home will find themselves shaking their heads at the teams we have before us this cycle.That is an incredibly disappointing statement, as The Amazing Race is one of the best if not the best conceived and put together reality show on television. The amount of effort that clearly goes into working out the locations and challenges is immense, and even here, where the contestants are found wanting, the show is able to pull through due to the travelogue it puts together.
CBS's multiple-Emmy-winning The Amazing Race returns this Sunday for its sixteenth season. (As someone who watched and loved it from the first go-round and watched it barely get renewals in the early going, it's a real surprise to hear myself saying "sixteenth season," but there you are.)

insufficient meat content, by-products, use of low quality grains and fat.
The first ingredient in the food is a named meat product, but since this is chicken inclusive of its water content (about 80%) and this ingredient will weigh only about 20% of its wet weight once water is removed (as it must be to make kibble) it is unlikely that this is the true first ingredient in the food. There is a further meat product in the food, fish meal 10th on the ingredient list but this is too low to make up a substantive portion of the food. We note that the manufacturer does not claim to use ethoxyquin-free sources (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative commonly added to fish destined for meal, and is believed to be carcinogenic).
The first grain in the food is Brewers rice - a low quality grain and by-product.
The use of wheat is a significant negative: wheat is believed to be the number one cause of allergy problems in dog food. This is another ingredient we prefer not to see used at all in dog food. Corn is another problematic grain that is difficult for dogs to digest and thought to be the cause of a great many allergy and yeast infection problems. We prefer not to see this used in dog food. In it's gluten form, it is also a waste product for which the AAFCO definition is "the dried residue from corn after the removal of the larger part of the starch and germ, and the separation of the bran by the process employed in the wet milling manufacture of corn starch or syrup, or by enzymatic treatment of the endosperm".
The next ingredient is by-products, of unidentifiable source. It is impossible to ascertain the quality of by-products and these are usually products that are of such low quality as to be rejected for use in the human food chain, or else are those parts that have so little value that they cannot be used elsewhere in either the human or pet food industries. The AAFCO definition of poultry by-product meal is a meal consisting of the ground, rendered, clean parts of the carcass of slaughtered poultry, such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs and intestines, exclusive of feathers, except in such amounts as might occur unavoidable in good processing practice.
Beef tallow is a very low quality fat obtained from the tissue of cattle in the commercial process of rendering. Pea fibre is filler.

Pets, Pets, Pets
The holidays accentuate the extremes of emotion. Happy events seem more joyous while sad news is even more depressing. Long before I shared a last name, I had a strong attachment to Hans Christian Andersen's Little Match Girl so the report of an obese Border Collie found frozen to a Wisconsin sidewalk, barely alive, sent chills down my spine. Glad to hear that the authorities are pressing neglect charges against his owner. Hopefully many kind people will flock to adopt the poor dog.
As a child I loved the tragic tale of the Little Match Girl, forced by a heartless father to sell matches barefoot in the snow. Decades before DVDs, my mother bought two 78 rpm records of the story for grab bag gifts. When I overheard a Cub Scout complain about this prize at my brother's party, I quietly cried, and then made sure to fish around in my classroom grab bag to retrieve my donated present. Years later the story became tradition with my own students. The school librarian would make sure the Andersen book plus filmstrip (I am dating myself) appeared in my mailbox the first of December. I keep thinking the aging Border Collie, like so many unfortunates, out in the cold had no matches to keep him warm….
Moving on to a minor Christmas crisis in complete contrast, I fear Purina has discontinued my dogs' favorite treat- bacon flavor Chew-eez Sticks. This could be premature panic but it seems that some other chewie has invaded their space on the grocery shelf. In the past this has signaled product extinction just like my favorite, now defunct, garlic Stove Top stuffing and vanillascented trash bags.
Routine is as important to dogs as it is to kids. Many of my students came from sorrowful family situations. They'd often be the first to remind me that it was the day to change line leaders or time to do "homework yeller", a form of town crier. School was the only consistency they could depend on.
Dogs take comfort in continuity also. Happily I'm watching my newly rescued Edgar Afghan Poe become a creature of habit. He plops himself in position on a rug for his 3 squares (my dogs eat a light lunch), and slowly stretches in the same spot each night when he goes out for his last bathroom break. It's a far cry from his erratic life sandwiched between 66 other Afghan Hounds in the hoarder's New Mexico home.
Our schedule is carved in stone, or should I say, beef hide. My gang goes for an aprés dinner walk; then they are rewarded with the coveted "boney" divided for portion control. Little Charlotte gets a quarter stick and runs off with her treasure; while the Afghans alternate a whole stick or the broken one. They nosh as Siamese twins. Of course, they must "Sit" first. Grabby Edgar is learning the "Wait" command. You'd think I had just handed each a filet mignon.
On Friday this Mother Hubbard went to the King Kullen cupboard, the only cupboard where I still see Chew-eez Sticks, and the cupboard was bare. She wheeled right up to the courtesy desk to request a re-order, telling the puzzled girl behind the counter that she couldn't inform her dogs she's come home from the hunt empty-handed. Her plea may not be enough. She may need to sniff out the stock clerk and beg since Purina's website doesn't show the 1.8 ounce purple package, and their 800 number is not functional until Monday 9 am Eastern Standard Time. Amazon notes they're "currently unavailable". I can't stand the suspense. Have Chew-eez Sticks gone the way of the passenger pigeon and National Liquidators?
My treat reserve is shrinking so I tracked down similar sticks in other stores but those are made in China…I'm not going there…or as one package says, manufactured in some mystery land: "Made in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, China, or Thailand." I'm still not going there.
Last time I had a problem like this, the situation was really a matter of survival. My Jerry, a kitten rescued on the day Jerry Garcia died, had chronic liver disease and never ate on his own. He lived for 19 months at a maximum weight just over 2 pounds only because I hand fed him minute amounts of food, milk thistle and taurine. He nibbled Sheba chicken cat food. Then the company switched the font on the red label. Without tasting it, I suspected Sheba changed the recipe too. Jerry wouldn't eat it any more. I went on a wild goose chase trying to locate the old label Sheba. He died shortly after. In retrospect, the change of appetite was probably not the label, but his cirrhosis progressing.
Right now only 2 precious Chew-eez sticks remain, but my dogs don't know. Not yet. I am trying to forestall the storming of the Bastille and will put out an A.P. B. to locate places that sell purple package Purina's Chew-eez Sticks, real beef hide. Please be on the look out because I'm desperate. I just can't break the bad news to my dogs; not so close to Christmas.
For Adoption: On a more serious note, the homeless pets at Oyster Bay Town Shelter (677- 5784) Miller Pl. Syosset have "more on their plates" than my pampered pets. "Luke" #937 a Shepherd/ Lab has been waiting quite a while for someone to notice him. "Sesame" # 1000 a black & white female cat is in competition with many other shelter
felines to find a home of her own. Dogs: "Jaguar"#1018 - a mini Schnauzer mix; a Pit mix. Cats: "Tazz"- handsome, senior cinnamon Maine Coon- his owner passed away.

Five envelopes, each one containing a different sheet of newspaper, are displayed. A spectator selects one of the envelopes and the sheet inside. The magician tears the selected sheet into dozens of tiny squares.
Then the magician asks the spectator to choose one of the pieces at random (there's no force!), and to read the news item he has randomly arrived at in a loud, clear voice. At the same time, the magician reveals a prediction he wrote before the show. It is the same as the wording in the randomly selected piece of newsprint!

Pulis out to end Palace away-day hoodoo
Tony Pulis hopes that the self-belief gained from beating Premier League leaders Chelsea will help to end Crystal Palace's away-day jitters.
Palace produced one of the shocks of the season last weekend to dent Chelsea's title push and boost their chances of remaining in the top flight.
The 1-0 win means Pulis' men are five points clear of this Saturday's opponents Cardiff City, who occupy the last relegation place.
You have to go all the way back to Boxing Day – a 1-0 success at Aston Villa - to find the last time that Palace were victorious on the road in the Premier League.
And Pulis has challenged his players to replicate the committed performance against Chelsea when they head to the Welsh capital this weekend.
"The players have to believe that we can pick up points (away)," he said.
"The group is an exceptional group in respect of togetherness – and that's most probably our strength. They are a very good group of players, even the ones who are not in the team.
"Over 38 games, the harder you work, the luckier you get.
"We're playing against a team who've got very, very good players in a stadium with very passionate fans.
"We've been the underdogs all season and that will continue, irrespective of where we are and what we're doing."
On the win over Chelsea, Pulis – who went to watch Cardiff when he was a kid – added: "It was such a good performance.
"Eight, nine, 10 players were very, very good on the day – and you have to be like that against the top teams.
"It was pleasing. It was three points. But it's gone now. The most important thing is to focus on the next game, which is going to be as difficult.
"Winning games breeds confidence and the way the lads played they can gleam a lot from it, but when we kick off on Saturday that goes out of the window and they have to perform again."
