PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y., Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Betsy Tanabe of State College, PA, got a new computer last Christmas and has learned to surf the internet with the best of them. But, unlike hordes of young computer wiz's at neighboring Penn State who are financially strapped, Betsy is a senior citizen, and her affluence is newly enhanced because she won the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes by entering the direct mail giant's giveaway online -- at http://www.pch.com/.
"I'm sure glad I got that new computer," said Mrs. Tanabe as she celebrated her $1,000,000 win with family and friends on August 31st after getting the shock of a lifetime. Minutes earlier the Publishers Clearing House Prize Patrol had knocked on her door carrying the "big check," roses and balloons that are staples of the company's long-running TV campaign.
The video-taped excitement of Mrs. Tanabe's "winning moment" was further heightened when the Prize Patrol also delivered a new Ford Thunderbird, a bonus for entering the sweepstakes online. (While the winner's test drive was "wonderful," she chose a $43,570 cash option instead.)
For over fifty years, Publishers Clearing House has been sending out "bulletins" with offers of discounted magazine subscriptions and merchandise. Promises of sweepstakes riches were added to the mailings in 1967. Since then nearly $200 million in major prizes have been awarded -- virtually all to people who dutifully stuck colorful stamps on entry forms they returned via the U.S. Postal Service. This year that pattern is changing, with some lucky people winning the "new-fashioned way": through pch.com.
Besides Mrs. Tanabe, John Hultin and Dan Hillegeist have found pch.com to be particularly enriching. They both won thousands of dollars by entering the sweepstakes online.
Hultin was surprised by the Prize Patrol at his Minnesota home in April. Recovering from the shock of a $10,000 win, the 30-ish Hultin told bystanders and the attendant media that entering via pch.com is so much "fun" and "so easy" that he does so at least weekly. Thousands of others apparently agree, going online frequently to enter the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes. And many of them have won $1,000 prizes.
Like most companies, Publishers Clearing House recognizes the growing importance of the internet and is putting increased resources into it. Besides sweepstake entry opportunities, pch.com provides web surfers with shopping opportunities for magazines and merchandise plus a broad array of company information.
"Direct mail put Publishers Clearing House on the map, and we know that millions of consumers will continue to respond to our value and excitement- packed bulletins," said Andy Goldberg, president of PCH. "But pch.com also provides value and excitement plus entertaining games, profiles of our sweepstakes winners and more. In the future we'll be adding lots more contests so that web surfers of all ages will find new ways to win. We'll also be adding value-priced offers based on the specific interests of our customers," he said.
Publishers Clearing House sees "hits" to its website increase dramatically when its periodic TV campaigns are on the air. So PCH management anticipates higher pch.com traffic in October when new commercials will promote "a new Thanksgiving tradition" beyond turkey, parades and football: a million dollar Thanksgiving SuperPrize. Consumers can enter the sweepstakes for this prize by mail as well as at pch.com. Maybe that million dollar winner will provide further proof that "times are a-changing" and that the internet is here to stay.Publishers Clearing House

Chiefs & D-Cubs Rally to Tie a Wrap on Minor League Camp
D. J. Fitzgerald singled, doubled, tripled, stole a base, scored one run, and knocked-in two more, and LHP Austin Kirk threw four shutout innings, as the Peoria Chiefs rallied to tie the Cedar Rapids Kernels (Los Angeles Angels Class "A" affiliate) 3-3 on Field #2, while next-door on Field #3 Michael Burgess clubbed a grand slam HR over the RF fence and Evan Crawford doubled, tripled, walked, stole a base, drove-in two runs, and scored another, as the Daytona Cubs rallied from an early 5-0 hole to tie the Inland Empire 66ers (Angels Advanced "A" affiliate) 7-7, in Cactus League Minor League Spring Training action at Fitch Park in Mesa, AZ, this morning.
This was the "getaway day" game for both Daytona and Peoria, but since the Iowa Cubs will be remaining in Mesa for another day (they open the season Thursday at Round Rock, TX), I-Cubs catcher Welington Castillo stayed at Fitch Park and served as a DH for Daytona while his teammates traveled to Diablo Park in Tempe to face the Angels Salt Lake Bees AAA affiliate.
After a short intrasquad game on Field #1, several players from the Boise/Mesa (Extended Spring Training) squad (C Yaniel Cabezas, SS Wes Darvill, 3B Dustin Harrington, C Brian Inoa, and LF Blair Springfield) saw some late game action with Daytona in the game on Field #3. (Players from the Boise/Mesa Extended Spring Training group are often used as late inning replacements in Minor League Spring Training games).
Peoria OF Matt Szczur (who has been sidelined more than a week with a leg injury) was able to run the bases in a PFP & baserunning work-out with some of the pitchers from the Boise/Mesa squad on Field #4 prior to the intrasquad game on Field #1. It is unknown if Szczur will be cleared for game action by Opening Day next Thursday, or if he will begin the season on the Peoria 7-day DL and remain at Fitch Park for a few more days.
And OF Smaily Borges has been moved down to Peoria from Tennessee, probably to serve as a "Crash Davis"-type minor league mentor to RHP Juan Yasser Serrano and OF Rubi Silva (all three are Cuban defectors, but the 27-year old Borges is older than the others, and was brought to the U. S. by the Cubs a year earlier). It's possible that Borges will eventually serve as a player-coach at Peoria (like 1B John Urick is at Daytona), although he is probably needed on the Chiefs active roster right now, at least until Szczur returns to game action.
In addition, RHP Alessandro Maestri and LHP Chris Siegfried have been released (both were with the Tennessee squad). Siegfried was the Cubs 11th round draft pick in 2007 out of the U. of Portland (where he was a teammate of current Iowa RHP Austin Bibens-Dirkx), and Maestri was the first player signed by the Cubs out of the MLB European Academy (in January 2006). Despite getting released by the Cubs, the 25-year old Maestri could be the #1 starting pitcher for Team Italy in next year's World Baseball Classic (he pitched for Team Italy in both the 2006 and 2009 WBC), presuming there is one.

Re: Chiefs & D-Cubs Rally to Tie a Wrap on Minor League Camp
Thanks as always Phil. Does this mean that past 3rd round pick Dylan Johnston has finally bit the dust?
Re: Chiefs & D-Cubs Rally to Tie a Wrap on Minor League Camp
He was a 4th round pick and no, it means their experiment with trying to convert him to a pitcher failed; he's on the DL again with a shoulder injury-> Elbow, shoulder, shoulder.
Re: Chiefs & D-Cubs Rally to Tie a Wrap on Minor League Camp
Nice to see Dae-Eun Rhee have a nice outing. He was in a few Cubs top ten prospects lists before TJ. I was just interested in how he's looked this spring? It would be awesome if he could regain his 2009 form. Thanks.
this seems to happen a lot to a certain ballplayer
A groundout in the fourth gave the A's a 2-1 lead. Kurt Suzuki helped set up the run, reaching on a one-out double when Mariners left fielder Milton Bradley lost a fly ball in the sun.
Re: Chiefs & D-Cubs Rally to Tie a Wrap on Minor League Camp
Is it just me, or do you follow non-Cubs teams more than you follow the Cubs?
Re: Chiefs & D-Cubs Rally to Tie a Wrap on Minor League Camp
Not that I want to defend Bradley's defense or his concentration... you made it sound like MB did something boneheaded but in reality it was a tough sun field and Ryan Langerhans also lost one in the sun later in the game that was even more costly (in the 7th that lead to 4 runs, Bradleys lead only to one run).
Milton Bradley lost a ball in the bright sky in the fourth inning to give Kurt Suzuki a double that led to one run and Ryan Langerhans did the same on a two-base hit by Coco Crisp in the seventh that ignited a four-run outburst against rookie reliever Josh Lueke that broke the game open.
and here's a link that works...
or as Harry Caray said: "Aw, how could he (Jorge Orta) lose the ball in the sun, he's from Mexico."
Re: Chiefs & D-Cubs Rally to Tie a Wrap on Minor League Camp
That was Rey Sanchez Harry said that about. Playing SS the year Dunston left.
Re: Chiefs & D-Cubs Rally to Tie a Wrap on Minor League Camp
HC might have used a variation on that line more than once but it's all over the internets that he said it regarding Orta while broadcasting for the WSux.
Rey Sanchez is from Puerto Rico, although I think the HC reference may have just said "how can a Latin ballplayer lose a ball in the sun? Dunno, can't fine a soundbite on it. Here's a link that says the Rey Sanchez quote is a bit different:
I remember Sanchez more for getting a high infield pop fly hit to him and Harry Caray saying, "He's never missed one of these in his life," only for Sanchez to drop the ball and Steve Stone saying, "He just did!"
and the Jorge Orta links...
and a Northside Lounge thread that discusses both the Orta and Sanchez references as being different.

What happen to Luis Flores?? Released???
Recent comments
If he puts up Soriano numbers I will be ecstatic
I think Javy is learning--but he's learning to make contact, not learning to lay off pitches out of the zone. A quick glance at his plate discipline numbers on Fangraphs shows that his contact rate is up, especially his contact rate out of the zone, but his swing rate is up too, especially his swing rate out of the zone.
I definitely saw ballpark radar guns go up to 102 on Kerry Wood back when he was still a starter, but who knows how accurate they were.
They've mentioned Henry Rodriguez (2013), Chris Carpenter, and Andrew Cashner as Cubs who have gone 100+. They said Rodriguez was tops at 100.8. Who knows before 2008?
Regarding Heyward--
He'll play regardless of what he does, just like Soriano played for seven years before they finally ditched him.
What can they do? All I can think of is they can keep hiring and firing hitting coaches until they find one who can get him to stop hitting balls with the handle of the bat.
(All those broken bats added to his paycheck is just a bit much.)
Lester will probably be all right.
I think Arrieta might have added too much muscle preparing for that butt-naked ESPN photo shoot. Pitchers are supposed to be loose, not muscled up.
I have basically written off Heyward for this year -- if you are working on major swing changes in late July, you are going to struggle. Hopefully, he can be more productive at the plate next year. It will be interesting to see what they do with him if the Cardinals keep winning and close the gap. Heyward is dead last in the NL in slugging and in the bottom 5 in OPS -- yet still has a positive WAR. Hunh.
Has anybody in a Cub uniform ever thrown a ball 103 before?
He certainly looks better, no doubt, and is a different player than what we saw when he first came up. Full credit to him for changing his approach and saving his career.
But he has zero walks in 35AB since the break, and 10 in 251 AB all year. He does seem to be able to hit some pitches out of the zone, but, a guy with his pop should be drawing more walks. However, it's easy to forget he is still only 23, and probably trying to make an impact to prove he should be an everyday player.
The usual suspects, Molina and Wong. Gyorko drew a walk with two outs, none on. I recall us (particularly Szczur and Bryant) swinging at everything Familia threw.
Yup. Thanks Q
Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTNekUcY-XM
I for one hope that Sosa comes back soon.
O/B interesting you should mention that. Google ESPN Science Aroldis Chapman and you'll be treated to how his mechanics and delivery are possibly historic. It's the 120% of his body stretch plus the torque. They compare him to the Unit and NRyan.
Amazing how much lower the production gets when Bryant runs into a mini-cold streak. He doesn't stay cold for long. If just one of Zobrist or, gulp, Heyward, gets hot, they oughta have one more really nice winning streak in them. Having a closer that you have absolute confidence in can't hurt.
I hope they hold onto Jimenez. Outfield depth is questionable, especially with McKinney, who struggled this year but still, gone.

This year, for the month of June, the total number of gamers using Windows 10 for Steam, in both 32-bit and 64-bit format, reached 44.6 percent. This presents an increase of 3.41 percent from the previous month, and a 1.54 percent increase from the month before that. It's safe to say that Windows 10 is "picking up steam," so to speak, but it seems that the free* upgrade is likely playing into these gamers' decisions to make the upgrade to Microsoft's latest operating system. And, well, why wouldn't it? Gamers want to take advantage of this opportunity to improve their experience while they still can.
Of course, not all Steam users utilize Windows 10. 36.97 percent of Steam users have Windows 7 installed on their PCs, which is down 2 percent from last month. Windows 8 and 8.1, however, make up about 12 percent of Steam users. Altogether, Windows users account for about 95.5 percent of gamers on Steam, while OS X retains about 3.6 percent, and Linux snags a paltry 0.8 percent.
Whether you're a gamer or not, there's no denying that there's at least one lesson to be learned from these statistics, and it's that the latest operating system for your Windows computer is needed if you want to get the most out of it. Gamers are often known for their meticulous attention to PC performance and specifications, so it's no surprise that we see such a huge increase in Windows 10 statistics concerning PC gamers.
If anything, this should be a testament to how valuable the latest software solutions can be for your business's workstations. Gamers take their hobby seriously, and they want only the best and brightest way to experience their entertainment. Why shouldn't you try your hand at experiencing greater productivity and efficiency with Microsoft's latest operating system?
If you haven't yet upgraded to Windows 10, the fact remains that it's a great operating system that can keep your business running throughout the near and not-so-distant future. PC Technologies's technicians can help your organization implement it in the best way possible. It's important that you assess your current needs and ensure that Windows 10 is compatible with your legacy applications and software solutions. In this scenario, it's best to have the expertise of a professional to lean on. To get started, reach out to us at 360-491-2227.
And who knows? Maybe Windows 10 will help your business achieve its next high score.
Next time you run into a PC problem that you just can't wrap your head around, try out these six troubleshooting tips.
PC Technologies can be your outsourced IT experts. To learn more, reach out to us at 360-491-2227.
The Pokemon series has long been known as one of Nintendo's most popular gaming franchises, and with the release of Pokemon Go, the series has finally made its way to everyday mobile device users. It's currently ranked as the #1 most downloaded free app on the Apple Store, as well as the Google Play store. The game was such a hit that Nintendo's stock increased exponentially overnight, and the app has over 26 million users worldwide - more than Tinder, Twitter, Google Maps, and other mobile apps.
However, like many extremely popular things, hackers have taken this and exploited it to do their bidding. Prior to the app's release worldwide, many impatient fans downloaded the APK (Android application package) from third-party websites and "side-loaded" it onto their devices. This can only be done by going into Android's settings and allowing app installation from unknown sources. Normally, this is a red flag for any security-minded mobile device user, as some malware is known to infect devices and download apps without the permission of the user; yet, some Pokemon fans just couldn't wait, and downloaded the APK without thinking of the consequences; like downloading a backdoor.
Considering how many countries outside the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, are still waiting for access to Pokemon Go, many have chosen to just use the APK to get the app on their device, rather than wait for the official release. One particular source of the APK provides a modified version of Pokemon Go that, upon installation, installs a backdoor onto the device, which allows for remote access to the device and provides full control over the victim's phone. The infected version of Pokemon Go is so well-done and inconspicuous that the user likely won't know that their device has been infected. Security firm Proofpoint suggests that it's entirely possible that, should infected devices connect to your network, networked resources can also be put at risk.
Take a look at the DroidJack-infected app's permission request, and see for yourself just how strange they might look.
When downloading any app, it's crucial that you drive this best practice into the heads of your employees: be sure to pay attention to the permissions required by the apps that you download. For example, there's no real reason why Pokemon Go would need to make phone calls, edit and send text messages, modify your contacts, and record audio. All of this is just asking for disaster. While exploitation of the APK hasn't been observed in the wild, it represents a dangerous development in mobile applications, one which shows hackers taking advantage of wildly popular smartphone apps, and turning them into catalysts to spread their malware and influence.
There are two lessons to be learned. Don't download apps from unknown sources, even if they're just games, and make sure that your employees know what your policy on mobile apps is on your in-house network. Also, be sure to examine a new app's permissions, and only download them from the Apple store or Google Play store. Among your millennial workforce, there may be many users of Pokemon Go, so it's your responsibility to reach out to them, and educate them on these best practices.
After all, "Gotta catch 'em all," doesn't refer to malware infections.
PC Technologies is proud to announce the launch of our new website at www.pctechnologies.net. The goal of the new website is to make it easier for our existing clients to submit and manage support requests, and provide more information about our services for prospective clients.Read more ...

Rainbow bright: Jessica Alba changes from rabbit print dress to colourful stripes as she shows her love for playful patterns
She's mother to two beautiful girls, Honor and Haven.
And having children is clearly rubbing off on Jessica Alba's sense of style.
The actress, 31, stepped out in an eye-catching rainbow print skirt today, after making a quick change from a baby blue dress printed with rabbits.
Eye-popping: Jessica Alba turned heads in New York City in this colourful number on Wednesday afternoon
Jessica, her hair tied up in a
swooping high ponytail, paired the striped skirt with hues of pink, blue
and electric yellow with a white tank top and blue blazer for her
outing in Manhattan.
Keeping with her love of color, she carried a mustard yellow handbag and wore towering wedges with neon blue straps.
The actress completed her look with colourful bangles and beaded bracelets and a pair of printed blue RayBan sunglasses.
The look was a far departure from the
more demure baby blue dress she wore earlier in the morning for her
appearance on The View.
Showing her stripes: The actress, 31, paired her skirt with neon blue platforms, matching sunglasses and a mustard yellow handbag
The collared number, paired with patent peep toe pumps, did embrace Jessica's apparent love for playful and childlike patterns - which she seems to have developed since becoming mom to Honor, four, and Haven, 11-months.
Speaking on The View, she admitted her older daughter was a fan of the vintage dress, which reminds her of baby Haven.
'Haven is our little bunny, she looks like a bunny,' Jessica told the talk show hosts, as she shared family photos.
Jessica's button-down ensemble,
dotted with navy blue rabbits, was belted at the waist and paired with
patent peep toe pumps and a mustard yellow handbag for a punch of
The fabric, sheer at the shoulders and cuffed before the elbow, blew back with a gust of wind at the hem, giving Jessica a sense of lightness.
New look: Jessica Alba arrived to her New York City hotel earlier today in a demure baby blue dress dotted with rabbits
Camera-ready: The actress had just made an appearance on daytime chat show The View to promote her toxic-free baby products firm The Honest Company
Going for retro: Jessica wore her hair up in a sleek 1950s-inspired ponytail
Tying her hair up into a sleek ponytail and topping her look with a pair of dark sunglasses that added a chic flair, Jessica strolled into her Manhattan hotel.
The actress earlier in the day had
made an appearance on The View, where she promoted her eco-friendly
firm, The Honest Company.
As she recently revealed, Honest just
received B Corporation Certification, meaning, according to its
website, it 'harnesses its power and resources for public good.'
Jessica and Christopher Gavigan co-founded the company to provide non-toxic baby and family home products.
Jessica explains on the website:
'When I became a mom, I finally became the person I am, that I always
should have been. It's the most satisfying job in the world.
Centre of attention: Jessica wore the frock for an appearance on ABC's The View on Wednesday morning, and spoke about her new baby, 11-month old Haven
Budding entrepreneur: Jessica also spoke about her firm, The Honest Company, which makes toxic-free baby products available to homes
Beaming: The star also spoke about using Twitter and her husband, Cash Warren
'But, it can also be overwhelming and confusing. I created The Honest Company to help moms and to give all children a better, safer start.'
Her roles as entrepreneur and mother
have clearly had an affect on the actress, who is often pictured
dressing down with husband Cash Warren and daughters Honor, four, and
11-month-old Haven on family outings.
Jessica was seen taking the girls out just yesterday in Manhattan, looking far from the red carpet fashion queen she embodies when at work.
Blue lady: Jessica took Honor, four, and
11-month-old Haven out for a stroll in New York City yesterday in bright
pants which she toned down with a black tank top
Her girls: The actress' two children were just adorable
Hands-on mother: Jessica was dressed in an eye-catching ensemble as she took her daughters out for lunch in New York earlier in the week
Fantastic Four: Jessica and husband Cash Warren took their girls for a meal in Los Angeles on Saturday
Jessica nevertheless looked stylish for the outing in a sleeveless white shirt and orange maxi skirt teamed with white sandals and a matching satchel.
She also sported a pair of eye-catching blue-rimmed sunglasses and piled her caramel locks on top of her head in a bun.
Meanwhile, Honor and Haven both wore pretty sundresses, while Haven also donned an adorable blue sunhat.

What are the explicit instructions for two- and four-way stop signs?
State law says that:
¢ Except when otherwise directed by a police officer, every driver who approaches a stop sign must stop at the stop line, but if there is none, before entering the crosswalk. If there's no crosswalk, the driver must stop where he or she can see oncoming traffic but before entering the intersection.
¢ The driver must yield the right of way to any vehicle in the intersection or to any vehicle that's close enough to be an immediate hazard if the driver enters the intersection. The driver also must yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk.
¢ When two vehicles going different directions stop at the same time, the one on the right has the right of way.

not sure it's native but certainly popular.
When the Vipers B does flower just let it seed or dump the seeding stem where you want them. It doesn't transplant well
I think the first is a cotoneaster, possibly C. lacteus.
A ribes at the base of the sambucus
a hebe in there somewhere
and box at the end
Something else to think about. When you take ivy off a wall all those little aerial roots remain
I'd agree Philadelphus.
If you want to keep them get those roots covered with soil/compost soon
I'd say bushes. But quite big ones
Trees have a single trunk, these don't, they keep throwing up more stems from the base
Native plants have some VERY interesting common names
It's not an acer, no doubt re that.
It only takes a few seeds to get the avens going. If it wasn't there last year it's not likely to be the perennial anemone. Avens is annual, or maybe biennial. Can you remember what the roots were like?
I think it's Nipplewort or similar yellow composite native plant.
2 easy tests wakeshine, maybe hefty will oblige. Dig one up and see what the roots are like, or wait for it to flower, which it will soon by the look of it.
you're right Tetley, we know nothing.
we haven't had many opinions on this one have we?

Recent Sea Pines reviews
"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great vacation week in this beautiful home. We really enjoyed the large porch and wonderful pool. The only negative was the TV cable setup. It was difficult to operate and a wire had to be taped up in a certain position for it to work. Otherwise it was fantastic."Guest: Sharon F.

"This is a great location and great condo. If you have children you just are steps away from an amazing play ground. We rented bikes also steps away in the grocery store adjacent to the condo. You are right in Harbour Town with shops, restaurants, and the beautiful harbor in sight of the condo. It has elevator for those who have problems with steps. It has all the amenities that we needed including large screen TV which we enjoyed at the end of the day."Guest: Joan T. Date of Stay: September 2015 Review Submitted: November 4, 2015View listing
"This is our second time staying at the condo. We stayed here 6 years ago and kept their information as we knew when we made it back to Hilton Head, we would be staying here again! They've done a fabulous job updating the condo, creating an open concept from the moment you walk in! The kitchen and the bath have been redone since we were last here and they both looks great! There is a flat screen in both bedrooms, as well as the living area. The kitchen is fully equipped, and they have a pack-n-play with a booster should you need it. Salty Dog, the pool, and shopping is a quick walk across the parking lot away. The beach is just as close in the other direction. The owners are great to work with, have extremely quick response time, and share many helpful tips that make your stay very enjoyable! We look forward to our next trip down to Hilton Head and will for sure be staying here again!"Guest: Shawn M. Date of Stay: June 2016 Review Submitted: June 18, 2016View listing

First Official Picture of Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf and Logan Lerman in 'Fury'
"Fury" has just kicked off its production but already a first look at the World War II drama emerges. Sharing the picture is none other than director David Ayer himself, who takes it to his Twitter page to post the photo with a caption, "#Fury @thecampaignbook @LoganLerman @realmichaelpena @jonnybernthal @SonyPictures The Crew of the Fury."
Brad Pitt, who plays the Commander of a Sherman tank, is seen lounging on a tank in the image. Also pictured with him are Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Michael Pena and Jon Bernthal who portray Pitt's on-screen crew members.
Fury is set at the very end of World War II, in April 1945. As the Allies make their final push in the European Theater, a battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy (Pitt) commands a Sherman tank and her five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Outnumbered and outgunned, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany.
Filming for the drama thriller is currently taking place in London for a scheduled November 14, 2014 U.S. release. Ayer writes the script in addition to taking the director's seat.

It's Buzzcocks-goes-Daniel Johnston, with a little Guided By Voices on the side, erudite and desperate, and everything mentioned above and yet a lot, lot more. And it's a pleasure to share it, and them, with you.
The geekily amateurish indie splatter-pop of the young London trio couldn't sound more different than Crimson's heavy prog.
The guitar work almost borders on wankery. Space-rock elements of Sixties psych don't so much creep as stomp leaden footedly into your lugs. Does it feel a little out of place? Yes. Finest four and a half minutes of Let's Wrestle's brief career? Absolutely fucking yes.
The tension between those two poles--refusing to grow up and yearning to move on-- is the emotional engine that drives the band and its impressively confident record.
Let's Wrestle may, in all their zeal, cram a couple songs too many onto this record, but it's a minor setback for a pop record that carries as much melody as it does personality.
They do a first-rate job blending humor, emotion, and energy on In the Court; it's a tricky routine to master but they've done it impressively right out of the gate.
Under The RadarIs it a grand goof or an impasioned plea for love? Probably both at once, which illustrates the preverse appeal of this fine album. [Winter 2010, p.64]

Oak Park and River Forest police reports-April 15-21
By Jean Lotus
Wigged robber's buddies mock victim
A woman told police she was approached from behind as she boarded a bus by a male approximately, 16, wearing a dreadlock wig with gold tips. As she was stepping onto the bus, the young man removed her iPhone and wallet from her person, as three other young males stood around laughing. The group fled eastbound on Division Street. Estimated loss was $500.
Borrowers fail to return iPhone
Two men approached a woman sitting on her front porch in the 100 block of North Taylor Street around 3:40 p.m. and asked to borrow her iPhone. When she gave the phone to one of them, the two fled eastbound on Ontario Street. Estimated loss, $409.
Give me your wallet. Or not

Never thought of scoring my stickers so that they cant be reused. You would think the fact that it has the license plate nnumber of the car its assigned to on it would be enough

might be easier said than done muntz. say i show up at the scrap yard with my pickup and a bed full of copper gutter. the scrap yard dealer asks where i got them and i tell him that i finally swapped out to a leafless gutter. what is he going to do? call the village and confirm that i got a building permit?

It seems like the Chicagoland area has seen an epidemic of Cavalier/Sunfire catalytic converter thefts. Naperville had 7 stolen from Cavaliers in one day last year. What does the scrap yard owner say when someone pulls up with a truckload of converters? Not suspicious in the last bit? These are the same guys accepting copper gutters, most of which would be re-used and not scrapped. What will it take to hold scrap yards accountable?

removing a parking sticker isn't always about reusing it. Sometimes folks do it for 'fun' or just to hassle someone. part of the reason why I bought a garage space.

Registration stickers can apparently be reused. We thwart such theft by scoring ours with a razor blade -- if someone attempts to remove it, the sticker will fall apart (which doesn't help us, but it doesn't help thieves, either, who if they notice the scoring, won't even try to remove the sticker).

Wow removing stickers off of cars? What is the point of that, you cant re-use the parking stickers its just a huge pain for the victim
