AUSTIN-- Following the nation's shopping spree on "Black Friday" comes "Small Business Saturday."
It's a national campaign to promote local merchants during this busy shopping season, in hopes you'll check them out before ordering on line during "Cyber Monday."
Sherilee Trubitt says she comes into downtown Austin from Dallas to shop the locally owned stores on 2nd Street.
"It's what America is made of. Or should be made of," said Trubitt.
We found her in a store called "Estilo" between Colorado and Lavaca.
Trubitt said, "It's not a chain. It's a boutique and you feel like you're being serviced. "
The part of 2nd Stret, what's known as Willie Nelson Boulevard, may be considered touristy. But, the area is considered 70% local, with at least 10 locally owned stores in two blocks.
Shops line 2nd Street all the way to San Antonio street, where people say they are watching what will develop on an open piece of land.
Teghan Hahn is the director of sales and merchandising of Austin Rocks at 2nd and Guadalupe.
She says, "This street has been really developing quickly over the last few years."
Her boutique opened just this past March by the same owners of Wild About Music on Congress, which has been around for 21 years.
She says, "We've got lots of really great gifts from a lot of local artists."
And that, "most of our Austin shirts we have artists that design them for us and we print them here in town."
If you want to extend "Small Business Saturday, there are lots of options here.
The Austin Independent Business Association has identified eight different zones of local shopping, from South First to North Loop.

Basketball was always a big part of Joe Ellis' life, even before birth. He learned the game early and became a force on the basketball court. No matter what disciplinary obstacles or health obstacles Joe faced, he just couldn't give up. He kept going back. Basketball was in his blood and he lived to play and coach. Now, as head coach of his hometown varsity boys basketball team, the Surry County High School "Running Cougars," and with cancer overtaking his body and draining his energy, he still has the will, the determination, and the inner most desire to not give up. Even having to retire from his teaching profession, he refuses to leave his team. Joe trusts God and recognizes that what he is enduring is for a special purpose. So he keeps the faith, stays focused and God grants him the desire of his heart.....a state championship!

Just remember, Texas A&M _BEAT_ Alabama this season, but thanks to a very flawed BCS system of favoritism and greed, A&M didn't get a shot. The "BCS poll" system had the Irish ranked as #1 and Alabama as #2, and Texas A&M as #9 even though we beat them fair and square. What a disaster. We need a playoff system.

Larry Coker post-practice transcriptMonday, Aug. 26
On practicing at the new on-campus facility for the first time …"This is phenomenal. This is great. I'm excited about it, but more importantly than that, our players are just really elated about it. They wanted to be here today. I thought if we have to practice at Dub (Farris Stadium) this week that's fine. It's just been great for us; it's a great move. I really appreciate what Dr. Romo and Lynn Hickey have done. It's just a beautiful place. I haven't been around any better, to be quite honest with you, so I'm very pleased about it. It's going to help us be better."
On the improved facilities as program continues to grow …"I ran a 4.7 today and normally I do a 4.9, so to have these new facilities has been a lot different, but in a good way. I told Lynn this is my fourth year here and to see this come to be has been fantastic. More importantly, the players are really excited about it. I've never seen players this excited about a practice on a Monday."
On players seeing the new practice facility for the first time …"We've got real goal posts up, real college goal posts up on both ends. We've got film towers. We've got basically the same thing everybody else has. We're really appreciative of it. It really means a lot to us, a lot to the program and a lot to recruiting, because people can use that against us. 'They don't have any facilities, they don't have any place to practice, they practice on a high school field.' All those types of things, but we have a place to practice now. I want to thank the Northside Independent School District. That was awesome for them to allow us to use Dub. I think it got our program jump-started as much as anything. We appreciate that"
On the convenience of an on-campus practice facility …"Just to go downstairs and get dressed for practice or to go to class is huge. Because there is so much time in transit that the coaches and players have had to do in the past with us being off campus, this saves a lot of time. Honestly, we would come back from practice and there'd be no parking on campus because of the crowds. This is really special for us to be able to do this."
On the challenges of transitioning to game week …"That's what I was concerned about; that there would be challenges. Maybe the clock didn't work or maybe they couldn't get the goal posts up. Fifteen thousand things can happen, but everything went smooth today and everything worked well. I think that's a really good point everything was pretty smooth. I really have to thank Mike Villa and his staff. This is a huge thing that they've done transitioning to move all this stuff and get it set up for us. To have an equipment staff like that, you don't worry about doing their job so that makes your job easier."
On players' attention now that it is game week …"Attention was good today. I told them at the end of practice we had some mistakes today and we're going to make some mistakes Saturday, but I don't want to make foolish mistakes. Let's get those things ironed out. When we get on the flight Friday, I want us to be very confident and go out and let loose; play and have fun. Don't be worried about making a mistake. Let's get all those things ironed out here and when we're in Albuquerque let's just play."
On New Mexico …"They're really good. The running back's really good. They do an outstanding job running the football. They're an improved team and that's not just coach-speak. I was out there at a clinic a few years ago and they're much improved. Bob Davie and his staff have done a great job. They're running the ball extremely well and I know they've improved a lot on their passing game. Defensively, they've got a really good solid front. They're going to really be a challenge for us."
On being able to focus on just football instead of behind-the-scenes issues …"I think we have grown into that. I think we're smart enough to realize that some of these things are just going to take time. We're in the fast food generation. We want our Big Mac right now. Again, it's a process and we know that. Our players have been understanding. They've practiced their backsides off at Dub Farris and now to see this new facility, I'm excited for them because they bought into it. They really bought into nothing here but a vision and now they've seen this vision come to fruition. Lynn Hickey was here this morning and I actually got a hug from Lynn. I don't know if that's legal or not, but I did because of what she's done as far as building this program."
On thinking back to the very first workout at Dub Farris Stadium in September 2010 …"As a coach, anything that we do you think of in terms of making the best of it and whatever it is, it is. We're not going to make excuses, but we were thin and weren't very big, weren't very strong and didn't know how to practice. This is such a different group of young men. They've just grown so much and this coaching staff is outstanding. It has been a blur though, as I said it's been four years and it's just gone by really fast for me. Lynn said I was on a honeymoon, I think that honeymoon is over. I think it's real ball now."

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Antiplatelet Medicine for Peripheral Arterial Disease
Antiplatelets work in various ways to prevent blood clots.
This medicine may be used instead of aspirin, or along with aspirin, in people who have peripheral arterial disease. It might be used after a person has had a procedure such as bypass
This medicine can prevent the formation of blood clots in people
who have
peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Antiplatelet medicines may help lower the risk of
heart attack and
stroke in people who have PAD.2
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor right away if you have any unusual bleeding, such as:
Other side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference
is not available in all systems.)
Risk of bleeding
Antiplatelet medicine increases the risk of bleeding. This risk of bleeding is higher in some people. Your doctor will balance the benefits and risks of an antiplatelet based on your health.
If you
have a high risk of bleeding from taking an antiplatelet, your doctor may
suggest you take a
proton pump inhibitor or a histamine H2 acid reducer. This medicine may help prevent
bleeding in your stomach. If you are taking both aspirin and
an antiplatelet, talk with your doctor about how you can lower your risk of
Testing for clopidogrel
A genetic test might be used if your doctor thinks that your body is not using clopidogrel properly. This test checks to see if you have genes that let your body use clopidogrel. But experts aren't yet sure whether genetic changes keep clopidogrel from preventing a heart attack or stroke.
This genetic test alone is not enough to tell whether the medicine will help you. You also may have a test that shows how your body's platelets are working to clot blood. Having a platelet test after you take an antiplatelet can show if the medicine is working.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or trying to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments. And call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Hello to all.. I'm new to this forum and looking for advice on retro fit on a pentair Model#7000 Conditioner head (carbon). This was purchased for city water chlorine application, which was never installed. We want to change it into a softener head. We found a dealer that might do this job but he wants all the parts first and ain't sure about all parts that are needed. After looking at the Service Manual we THINK it comes to this> ITEM NO.13
- No.12 two o-rings
- No.5
- No.4
- No.18 ?
- No.15
- No.7 but what size Injector?
- No.23 we have 45 Elbow on-it?
- No.6 Turbine Meter but don't have No.17 Meter Cable Assy (looking for a complete parts for what is needed)
Can someone HELP! We Have High Manganese(0.236) and Copper(2.06) Iron(0.0100) PH(7.34). This dealer said that this Conditioner head can work now with (greensand) and potassium permanganate solution by injecting it continuously, and back washing periodically. This will supposedly reduce water consumption (low-producing well is what we have), but we like a salt regeneration instead, which is why we are looking into a softener and trying to figure out if a retro is worth doing, or just buying a whole new head. THANKS to ALL you Professionals!!!!!!!!!!!

"When we got to him, he was on the side of the road, and his face looked like somebody had taken an axe to it," the 67-year-old said.
McLeod's son is still alive today, but only after extensive surgery, the Pleasant Valley resident said.
"I've never thought about it until now, but that definitely has been one of the subconscious motives to buckling up because I saw what happened to him," McLeod said. "It's a miracle he survived."
John Ulczycki, the vice president of strategic initiatives of the National Safety Council said seat belt use in Alabama has increased since a primary seat belt law was passed in 1999. However, more than 55 percent of the motor vehicle related fatalities in Alabama each year are due to 10 percent of people not wearing their seat belts, he said.
In 2011, 368 people who died as a result of motor vehicle crashes in Alabama were not wearing seat belts; a 4.29 percent increase from 2010, according to the Center for Advanced Public Safety in Tuscaloosa. Calhoun County had 15 motor vehicle fatalities that year; eight of those who died were not wearing seat belts, the center reported.
"Wearing a seat belt is the single most effective action that motorists can take to protect themselves and their loved ones from injury or death in a motor vehicle," Sgt. Steve Jarrett with the Alabama State Troopers wrote in an emailed statement.
State law requires that all people younger than 15 wear seat belts in vehicles at all times, no matter where they sit. People 15 and older are required to wear seat belts only while driving or sitting in a front seat.
Anniston Mayor Vaughn Stewart was in a car accident in Golden Springs two years ago. He said both his seat belt and his car itself helped keep him safe. Stewart said wearing a seatbelt is a habit he learned from his son and his son's friends.
For him, Stewart said, wearing a seat belt is a no-brainer.
"Especially after you've seen the results of those awful accidents and the head injuries. That makes you believe it real quick," Stewart said.
Jarrett has heard many excuses as to why people don't wear seat belts, which include claustrophobia, being uncomfortable and a disdain for government intrusion.
"If people don't want to do something they can invent all kind of reasons not to do the right thing," Ulczycki said.
Jarrett said seat belts are not used in approximately 60 percent of the fatal crashes troopers investigate. Since the beginning of the year, 25 people have died in traffic crashes investigated by troopers, Jarrett wrote. Only six people were wearing seat belts, even though they were readily available for 24 of them.
"It's proven fact that being properly restrained does save lives, whether that be a seat belt or a child safety seat. I think there would be a substantial increase of lives saved if people were properly restrained," said Rebecca White, a spokeswoman for the Alabama Department of Transportation.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that seat belts have saved nearly 63,000 lives since 2008, and the Alabama Department of Public Health reports that for adult drivers, seat belts reduce the risk of death by 45 percent. Car seats also reduce the death rate for infants and toddlers by 54 to 71 percent.
Brandi Medina, a Huntsville resident who was in Oxford Thursday afternoon, said because her car has automatic seat belts, she doesn't even have to think about wearing them. She has even taught safe practices to her 5-year-old daughter.
"I actually buckle her up in the car seat. She's used to it. She's learned how to do it herself," Medina said with a chuckle.
Courtney White, who was carpooling with Medina, always wears a seat belt. White's mother even pushed for seat belt laws in Alabama in the 1970s, she added.
"She's never allowed me to not go anywhere without there being a seat belt involved, whether you're in the front or back," White said.

Or, sfslickdawg, you can just keep Mullen a few more years and we will just keep kickin' your tail. We may not ever lose to you again!
A year ago today, Mississippi State was sitting pretty at 3-0. Dan Mullen had finally gotten his first win over an SEC West foe not named Ole Miss (in a 28-10 win over Auburn). The Bulldogs would eventually work themselves all the way to a 7-0 record and a top 15 national ranking. Three years of building were finally paying off for State and its fourth-year head coach.
How quickly things can change.
When we at MrSEC.com mentioned throughout that 7-0 start that MSU had yet to beat a good BCS foe (Jackson State, Auburn, Troy, South Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi State were the wins), many Bulldog fans bit back. Their program had been in a rebuilding mode, we were told. Better to see victories over tin cans than losses to the big boys.
Today, Mullen gets much less protection from the fans who once cheered him. That's because the so-called big boys of college football have kicked over and stomped upon Mississippi State's castle. MSU has followed up on last year's 7-0 start by losing five of its last six in 2012 and two of its first three in 2013. Losing seven out of nine games (with the wins coming against Arkansas and Alcorn State) is no way to please a fanbase. Not even fanbases that once defended cupcake scheduling.
As it turns out, the numbers for Mullen suggest the castle he'd constructed was built on sand in the first place:
* Mullen is 30-24 overall at Mississippi State
* His Bulldog teams are 2-17 against ranked opponents
* State is just 5-17 versus SEC West foes
* MSU is 13-20 in the SEC overall during Mullen's tenure
* Of State's 30 overall victories, five have come against FCS foes
* Only 15 of Mullen's 30 victories have been gained against against BCS-level opponents
In addition, there's a clear separation between the haves and have-nots that Mullen's teams have bested to date:
* Mullen has recorded wins over Alcorn State (2), Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Houston, Jackson State (2), Kentucky (4), Louisiana Tech, Memphis (2), Michigan, MTSU (2), Ole Miss (3), South Alabama, Tennessee, Troy, UAB, UT-Martin, Wake Forest, and Vanderbilt.
* State's losses under Mullen have come against Alabama (4), Arkansas (3), Auburn (4), Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Houston, LSU (4), Northwestern, Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, South Carolina, and Texas A&M.
In four-plus seasons in Starkville, Mullen's squads have recorded wins over six teams that finished their seasons with winning records (MTSU 8-4, Louisiana Tech 8-5, Florida 8-5, Michigan 7-6, MTSU 10-3, Kentucky 7-6). The teams MSU has vanquished since 2009 have a combined record of 125-185.
That might get you to a middle-tier bowl game — which beats no bowl game at all — but it's hardly the way to a division title.
If you personally ate more cupcakes than meat or vegetables, your doctor would tell you to change your diet. The question is: Can Mullen succeed if State changes its diet? Moving forward, we probably won't find out from a non-conference perspective. MSU's list of future out-of-league foes includes Southern Miss, UAB, South Alabama, UT-Martin, Louisiana Tech, Troy and Tulane. And after taking a 21-3 shot to the chin in this year's opener against Oklahoma State, it's doubtful that Mullen and AD Scott Stricklin will venture back into pay-for-play, neutral site game anytime soon.
In fairness to Mullen, the SEC West has been about the toughest division in football since his arrival in the Magnolia State. There haven't been many teams who've beaten Alabama or LSU in that time. And — up until last year — Mullen had owned hated rival Ole Miss, going three-for-three in the Egg Bowl, marking the first time State had pulled a trifecta in the series since World War II.
Those wins over the Rebels and the confident talk of Mullen charged up the MSU fanbase. The school has sold so many tickets to football games in recent years that State has launched an expansion project at Davis Wade Stadium.
But despite all the "school up North" talk and the billboards at Mississippi's borders, MSU seems to have fallen behind Ole Miss in both recruiting and hype. The Rebels scored a top 10 recruiting class last season. They're currently ranked #9 by Rivals.com in terms of 2014 commitments. State is currently ranked #40 in the same listing. Hugh Freeze in just 16 games has already recorded wins over six BCS-level foes including a blowout win at Texas last week.
You can be sure State fans are aware of all of that.
Now, make no mistake, Mullen accepted a helluva challenge in Starkville. Of the 10 longtime members of the Southeastern Conference, State has fewer league titles — one back in 1941 — than every school but Vanderbilt. MSU fans might not want to hear it, but Mullen is basically trying to build the Vandy of the West. And building is a lot tougher in the West than in the East these days.
Still, MSU fans who once cheered Mullen have now realized that all those wins over cupcakes, creampuffs and other pastries didn't actually prepare the Bulldogs for a move away from the kiddie table. One must wonder, then, if the future cupcakes on State's schedule will be quite so filling for Bulldogs fans.
Mississippi State and Mullen still have opportunities to spring an upset and prove that they're making progress this season — LSU, at South Carolina, at Texas A&M, Alabama. Games with rebuilding Arkansas and rival Ole Miss will be big and bigger as well.
For Mullen's sake, it's time to lay down an actual foundation. The one he's put down so far has been made of sand… and the Tide (and Tigers and Aggies, etc) is coming in.

Kronos it is very unclear. But it works just for the color combo alone.

Kronos it is very unclear. But it works just for the color combo alone.
My best for the past week.
Kronos, your attempt is really appreciated and since I'm also late on this thread I'll just say that your painting is radical....I like the "fallen angel"-ish look, it's got pathos:)
i've had a VERY unproductive last week....but i start uni soon, so i better get my ass ready for assignments of madness
so heres another attempt to keep this thread going, i really like the idea behind it..... more exposure :P
so here is one thats still a wip.... but i haven't worked on it in ages, hope not too many people have seen it already
Iron Titan, thanks btw! post something here! anything to keep it alive!
Well that's unfortunate, I didn't even know my SSG has been dead for quite a while lol.
If I attempted this last year I don't think I would've been able to comprehend all those edges
character of a comic i do for my uni
The Interesting Life of Zack
heh, been two weeks since i last posted here but this one is definitely my best from the last two weeks....
Ok I appologise for no crit included in this post.
Here is the best sketch in a few weeks
Well on the attempts to bring this thread back to life, here is my best of the week.
please do check out (and maybe even crit, or comment) my pieces... it's a very lonely thread.
quick critiques, hooray!
bengonzales: I have a certain love for dutch angles, but make sure to watch out for your perspective when you do draw it. Think of his body parts as spheres,cubes and cylinders. That way it should be easier to visualize the perspective on it.
Kronos: Hah! it looks like a really angry dwarf. Not bad!
Marjolein: I like this cartoon. It really makes me feel...apathetic!
darkwolfb87: very nice lines. I visualize it with light and shadow, and color too! Very nice. I would love to see more!
talmir: Sorry for taking so long to reply, but thank you. I guess you could say it's a troll. When i drew it i was thinking of some lonely creature finding comfort in something beautiful. I guess it does look like a troll. Your 3d work is amazing. Im learning maya, and with my knwoledge of art and form i still can't get anything worthy.
Here is an attempt to revive this thread.
I believe this to be my best of the week. Any crits?
ah. this is sad. this thread is dead.
:blah: oh dear... :yayca:
Well, this thread is a good idea, and clearly needs more attention.
Iconophobian: Well, i dont really think i could crits any of those two pics. They look great...but maybe the second one could use a bit of shading on the undershoudler(?) area. It should be really dark in there...i think :P
Here's my best of the week (but not totally finished)
Yo recursive thats some really nice pencil work man. Great control.
Heres my best of the week i think
wow, never saw this till now... Gonna throw something up tomorrow night..
didn't feel good enough to actually post in this thread. anyway, i take all my courage together and put a drawing in here. gonna tell my sketchmates to post here, too...
it's the one i'm most happy with this week. it's a rather quick sketch from watching "once upon a time in the west", but i kind of like it...
Gonna try and be more regular in this thread!
Heres the best of last week, self portrait which came as the result of a long session of master studies figuring out some issues I had with rendering...
Stine- Nice, like the blue pencil. Dont be afraid to kick the contrast up more though, develop more form in the shadows.
Kresh - Cool design, dont be so reliant on using white in all the highlights. You wouldnt do it in paint and you shouldnt in pencil either.
Recursive_End - One of my favorites of your recent works, one thing that bugged me is that the shapes on the left guy's face dont follow the form as well as the other guy's, look rather flat.
I think this is my best this week, mmm hmmm. Crit away.
Sirgreensock: definitely feeling the light fall.
Stine: mmm good feel with that blue pencil, aside from contrast maybe save soem more whites...oh wait thats part of contrast too *kicks himself* lets have another.
GreenSock: I like the feel of the SP. The rendering looks quick and has a lot of movement to it. I just want to ask how old are you. I'm going with 18+. If you don't have a baby-face then it looks like you used a pic from when you were a kid. I'm not sure if I'm right but your eyes may be positioned too high and you haven't given enough room for the nose. Edit: I'm really stomped on what bothers me about it. but it feels like you squished the proportions on the face.
GrayPencil: Very nice. Quick bold lines and the shading captures the form of the body. The lighting of your Photo is the only thing that i can crit on this. Try and use a brighter light source.
So then this is me for my best recent sketch about 20-30 minutes on each of these ref studies.
thanks ben, I was quite unsure of that drawign when i first finished it but after getting home fromt he lfie session it dont look too bad. Just taught me that I shoudl always try something new :)
the placement of the head+neck on the 1st figure is offset to his. no biggie since the point i gather was to study developed musculature? I think your study intentions are achieved anyway so :)
Hello, I'm new to this forum and website. I started a new thread, but in an effort to get known, I'd like to comment more. Since I'm just getting back into drawing (currently a med student), I don't have many current pieces to show. Most of my drawings are on my blog. But here's one of my completed from 2003. It is also posted it in my sketchbook thread. Any suggestions/comments are more than welcome. Thanks.
trying to keep this tread alive
not member of a ssg (yet), but why not?
kresh-very cool,i'd just change the perspective of the feet.
Here's my favorite that I've posted lately. Hope this thread grows...there are so many sketchbooks that this could be a great index of books one might want to go view more of.
gonna comment on you all later, here's my best of the week (don't even know if it was of this week, but I made it quite recently, so should be alright :) );
best of last week
hey ted thats a really sweet looking sketch. The contour line on the inside of the leg to the left really makes that piece intresting.
Some outstanding stuff here, I'll be checking out some SBs from here, here is my "best: from the past week:
this was my best, holding the pencil between thumb and index finger (palm up) made all the difference :)
hmmm..... nice work ... you sohuld try shading on some of those peices
this is my automobile sketch.

Georgia coach Mark Richt will see his yearly compensation jump from $2.81 million to $3.2 millon thanks to a vote last night by the Georgia Athletic Association Board of Directors. It is Richt's first raise in nearly five years.
Since finding himself on the hot seat following the 2010 season, Richt has led the Bulldogs to back-to-back East Division titles and compiled a 22-6 record overall.
Outgoing president Michael Adams said: "It was time for us to do something in a preemptive way without him or anybody representing him to have to come to us. Just a statement of our support for and respect for him."

Episode 519, "At Rest" Fri, Apr 25, 1|12c AM
SEASON 4, EPISODE 415 - While investigating the disappearance of Leah Robinson, a churchgoing, suburban stay-at-home mother of a 12-year-old boy, the team begins to suspect that she may not be as innocent as her husband and minister think she is. Leah was last seen leaving a Manhattan gallery opening with a man who was arguing with her. When Leah's husband, Ken, is stumped as to the man's identity and Leah's reason for being at that city event, the team explores whether her disappearance could be linked to an affair gone awry. They also attempt to track down a disgruntled client of Ken's whom Leah had nervously kicked out of their home at gunpoint when the menacing client showed up and refused to leave before Ken returned. The investigation takes an unexpected turn when the agents learn that Leah had secretly followed her husband on his recent "hunting trip" and seen him with a waitress who was fatally shot days later by a pistol of the same make as the Robinsons'. Meanwhile, when their departments converge to work on this case, the equally strong-minded Jack and Anne (guest star MARY ELIZABETH MASTRANTONIO) butt heads on how to best conduct the investigation.

text: City by the sea Mumbai (still "Bombay" to locals) is cacophonous and chaotic, bustling and cool. And it's undergoing a major hip revolution — in food, fashion, and nightlife. Hop on. GPS North Mumbai is suburban and residential; you'll want to be in Colaba, the South Mumbai district teeming with cafes, bars, and shops. Chowpatty Beach is the strip for strolling and snacking — they don't really sunbathe here. Note when getting directions that the government replaced British names (for streets, neighborhoods, and even the city) with Hindi terms in 1995, but locals still use the old names. NEST Ritzy Taj Mahal Palace & Tower has been the granddaddy of five-star hotels since 1903. Stay in the old wing, where no two rooms are alike, and don't miss the spa, the city's best (Apollo Bunder; +91-22-6665-3366). The Gordon House beckons hipsters with clean, minimalist decor and Polly Esther's, a branch of the stateside disco (5 Battery Street, Apollo Bunder; +91-22-2287-1122). Even if you don't stay at the InterContinental, hit rooftop bar Dome for great Marine Drive views (135 Marine Drive; +91-22-3987-9999). INGEST For authentic Mumbai street food like khichdi (lentil and rice stew) and sev puri (canapés with chutneys and potatoes), head to Swati Snacks (248 Karai Estate, Tardeo Road, opposite Bhatia Hospital; +91-22-2492-0994). Classic bistro Khyber (145 MG Road, Kala Ghoda; +91-22-2267-3227) is beloved for kebabs and curries. Mingle with Mumbai's glitterati — from Bollywood starlets to the industrialists who love them — at chic Mediterranean Olive Bar & Kitchen (14 Union Park, Khar; +91-22-2605-8228). For a romantic dinner on Chowpatty Beach, head to Salt Water Grill (+91-22-2368-5485). INVEST Bring an empty suitcase to fill with souvenirs you'll "forget" to give away. Like silk-embroidered moccasins, shawls, and trinkets scored at sidewalk stands along Colaba Causeway. Don't be shy about bargaining — hard — with vendors. Once you're quoted a price, haggle to at least half. If you're shopping for jewels (and you should be) go to Curio Cottage for semiprecious baubles. Ask for Suresh; he's attentive and accommodating and makes great suggestions (19 Mahakavi Bhushan Marg, near Regal Cinema; +91-22-2022-2607). For chiffon tunics to throw over your designer beachwear, go to Neemrana, a darling shop near the old Opera House, where the pastel-hued caftans cost a lot less than they do at Barneys and Saks (#6 Purshotam Building, New Queen's Road, Opera House; +91-22-2361-4436). And don't forget inner beauty. Forest Essentials is the place for Ayurvedic potions like cane sugar and tamarind body scrub (12 Tirupati Apartments, Bhulabhai Desai Road, Breach Candy; +91-22-3290-8114). Bombay dreams are made of this. For more on India, check out DailyCandy Goes to New Delhi and Agra and Rajasthan.

BARRIE - Police on general patrol Dec. 31 observed a vehicle travelling suspiciously on Burton Avenue in the city's southend at 8:32 p.m.
The vehicle was followed onto Cumberland Street where it pulled into a driveway and then backed out. It appeared the driver was unsure of where they were going and eventually came to a stop in the middle of the road.
Officers spoke with the female driver who said she was driving home a patron of a restaurant she worked at as a good gesture. The man excited her vehicle and allegedly started yelling profanity at the officers. The officers attempted to get information from the man however he allegedly refused to offer any information about who he was or where he lived. Police say he became confrontational and continued to yell, causing neighbours to exit their homes.
The man was extremely intoxicated and in no condition to look after himself. As a result he was arrested for causing a disturbance, taken to the station, held until sober and given a future court date.

The New York Yankees are baseball's most successful franchise, exerting their dominance over the sport for more than a century. The Yankee's first experience with success came in the early 1920s. After acquiring Babe Ruth from the Boston Red Sox, New York made back-to-back-to-back World Series appearances from 1921 to 1923. After being denied their first two tries, the Yankees finally won the franchise's first World Series title by knocking off the New York Giants in six games. Two years later the Yankees were back in the World Series, and in 1927 and 1928 Ruth teamed with Lou Gehrig to win two more championships. Ruth and Gehrig won World Series number four in 1932. From 1936 to 1964 the Yankees reached 22 World Series in 29 seasons, winning an astonishing 16 titles with stars like Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Phil Rizzuto and Roger Maris. The next two World Series wins came in the late 1970s with another roster teeming with All-Stars. From 1995 to 2009 the Yankees were dominant once again, winning five World Series titles and being mainstays in the postseason thanks to stars like Derek Jeter, Roger Clemens and Mariano Rivera. The Yankees have retired 16 numbers through their illustrious history. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for New York Yankees baseball tickets.
Check back in the spring for the 2014 New York Yankees season preview.
Check out our New York Yankees Season Preview History page for previews of previous Yankees seasons.
The Yankees play their home games at Yankee Stadium, located in the Bronx, New York. This new Yankee Stadium replaced the historic "House That Ruth Built" in 2008. When filled to capacity, Yankee Stadium holds more than 50,000 screaming fans. When at Yankee Stadium, you should visit Monument Park, where you can relive the rich history that New York has enjoyed for more than a century. The New York Yankees dugout is on the Yankee Stadium first base line in fron of sections 15A-17A. Yankee Stadium parking information is covered in our Yankee's event guide.
Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, Baltimore Orioles
The premier rivalry in baseball, Yankees Red Sox has grown to be bigger than the game itself. It doesn't matter if both teams are good, bad, or middle of the pack, this game is always important. Played more than 2,100 times over a century, there have been countless pennant races, brawls, curses, feuds, and defections. Oddly enough there are no two teams more essential to the other than the Yankees and Red Sox. It is as if beating the other is life and the purpose of sport.
The latest version of the subway series is a century newer, but retains much of the excitement of the originals. First played in 1997, this series erupted onto the scene in 2000 when the two met for the World Series. Since then this rivalry has been personified by matchups like Clemons vs. Piazza, and Santana vs. Jeter. One of the successes of interleague play, this inner-city matchup is like no other in the country, and easily one of the most fun to watch each and every year.
The Yankees and Baltimore share much in common over the course of their history. The Yankees started out as a team in Baltimore before moving to New York. Babe Ruth was born in Baltimore and played for the Orioles (then the name of a minor league team) before there ever was a curse of the bambino. With countless AL East titles between them, this rivalry has seen some of the best names in baseball history, and is one of the better games in the American League.
There are organizations and then there are the New York Yankees. As the most accomplished franchise in the history of Major League Baseball, the Yankees have set themselves apart from the rest of the baseball world. New York has won an MLB record 17+ division titles, over 39 AL pennants, and more than 26 World Series titles in their
Gates open 2 hours before the start of most games at Yankees Stadium
TicketCity offers a big selection of Yankees Baseball tickets which include some of the lowest priced seats on the market. Yankees tickets fluctuate based on demand and opponent. Marquee American League opponents, like the Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers and Tampa Bay Rays, can drive up home game prices. While cheap tickets are more plentiful for non-divisional or interleague opponents. Those games may offer best opportunity to purchase Yankees tickets near face value.
Some of the best dining options in the entire country are within a few blocks of Yankees Stadium. If you enjoy eating at traditional American diners, don't miss trying Margie's Red Rose Diner. Mexican food fans should try Mexicocina, or Café Ollin. For the best pre-game barbeque around check out Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, it is one of the best places in the city. If you are looking for something new, try one of the great Caribbean food places in the area. Freda's Caribbean & Soul Cuisine, and Elsie's Caribbean Café are two of the best. For a more sophisticated menu, try Solace Bar and Grill. Solace is on the higher end price wise, but it has a menu that will satisfy all the foodies out there. Other great places in the area are, Zoma, Pisticci, and Buster's.
The Yankees 2013-2014 Baseball schedule is listed as soon as it is announced by MLB. The Yankees play in the AL East, which means games against the Boston Red Sox, Tampa Bay Rays, Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays. Game times are announced by MLB as soon as the TV schedule is set. The Yankees home opener is typically one of the most popular games. They also play the New York Mets in the Subway Series. If you are looking for Yankees news or scores, then visit our partners at CBS Sports. They are also a good source for the official New York Yankees team roster.
Parking at Yankees Stadium is a nightmare. There are a few garages in the area, located on the northeast and southwest corner of the stadium, but these are often reserved for season ticket holders, and pre-paid parking only. The best way to get to Yankees Stadium is to take the subway. There are multiple stations within a few blocks of the stadium and they are always packed with Yankees fans heading to and from the game.
New York Yankees season tickets are available to buy until kickoff of their home opener. Check our listings above or call us if you would like to purchase Yankees Baseball season tickets. Let us know if you want a particular section at Yankee Stadium.
Children 3 years old and younger, and also under 30 inches tall are allowed to enter Yankees stadium without a ticket, but must sit on a parents lap for the duration of the game. It is best practice to bring proof of your child's age with you to the gate to ensure they are allowed to enter the stadium.

They're the biggest team in baseball and maybe across all sports. You either love 'em or you hate 'em. Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Derek Jeter – they're all names that are connected with baseball lore and the majestic stadium where so many big moments in the sport's history have happened. The New York Yankees are THE institution of baseball and Yankee Stadium is sacred ground. The Yankees sell out every game and watching a game in the Bronx is something every baseball fan should do, no matter what your affiliation is.
There are two major events in every Yankee season not to be missed – Opening Day and when the Red Sox come to NYC. This year, they'll combine. The new-look Sox are in Yankee Stadium from April 1-4 before the Yanks hit the road. The end of April will see new AL-member Houston in town, while the Subway Series gets revived when the Mets head to the Bronx for a two-game set on May 29. Get your tickets early as demand is always high for the Yankees!
It's the 3rd quarter of an offensive shootout in the Super Bowl! My seats are incredible!Hans - Sterling Heights, MI

who is Goo?
This weekend has been as nice as last weekend was rainy.
Last Saturday drove through pouring rain to Mukwonago for my son's first track meet. The meet was cancelled.
daddy's hands
Rosella Metzger died Friday, aged 93 years. Outward appearances would indicate she was just a regular church-going grandma. She used to attend St. William's, and that's where I came to know her. I learned shortly before she moved to Ohio that she had recently been honored by the mayor for working 59 years.
In today's paper there's an article about an elderly gentleman still actively playing music at 101. Les Paul is still playing a couple nights a week, as far as I know, and he's just nine days older than Rosella was. But working for 59 years? Still incredible.
pigging out at the dump
Just how bad is an economy where I can seriously consider dump dining? What kind of food is wasted yet still edible? Quite a lot, I'd expect, but I really wouldn't know.
How desperate am I for a meal when food at a dump tastes fresher and better than that I'd make for myself at home? Yesterday I had brats for breakfast and the annual Town of Merton Lunch at the Dump. For once, the best part wasn't that they were free, but that they were fresh. Hot off the grill and placed with kraut in buns made fresh that morning. Mmmmmmm, make mine a double.
a floral emergency
Prom weekend is always a little spendy, especially when combined with Mother's Day. . . but she's worth it.
Both sons are attending North's prom tonight. Nick looked great in a black tux with black shirt, white vest and white tie. Men's Wearhouse took great care of him, even though he waited til last weekend to order it.
bloggy tweet
Jumped on the Twitter bandwagon. It's perfect for when I don't have anything to say or time to say it. Its 3 sentence blog in 140 characters
too much blood? nothing to do? want to lose weight?
If you haven't given blood lately, it's possible you have too much. Your next opportunity to help others while helping yourself is Monday the 18th from 3:30 to 7:30 at St. William's, 440 N. Moreland.
You'll feel so much better afterwards... and one pound lighter!
a bird in the hand . . .
I love shopping at Char's Hallmark. There's a fair selection of cards, though in a different economy it has been better. It's extremely rare if I'm not pleasantly greeted at the door. (On occasion, I'll try to sneak in without the greeting just to see if I can.)
If I have time, I'll put a lot of thought into card shopping. I try to find the card that matches the gift or recipient's interests. Saturday I didn't have a lot of time, and didn't think my one year old niece would care which card I got her. I was on my way to Pick N Save for groceries, could have picked up a nice card there, but stopped at Hallmark anyway.
a colonel of mystery
Was able to visit Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition before it closed. I was handed the boarding pass of 60 year old, 1st class passenger Colonel John Weir, who was travelling alone. My sister, the pass of a 3rd class 14 year old girl travelling with just her younger brother. The mystery wasn't why the children weren't with an adult, their father wasn't allowed to board due to an infection, but whether our people were saved. We'd find out at exhibit's end.
The exhibit was fairly spread out so crowds weren't a problem and, since we didn't get the audio tour, we could procede at our own pace. Many of the artifacts were those one wouldn't think would survive at the bottom of the Atlantic for 97 years: a white steward's jacket with name on it in marker, paper money and playing cards, leather articles. . .
60 years of Memorial memories
I visited with my dad on Memorial Day. He has a new metal flag holder that looks really nice there next to his headstone.
I thought about attending Waukesha's parade, or the church service at St. Joseph's Cemetery, but if I can't find time to visit Dad on Memorial Day... He just happens to be in Oconomowoc.

Last week in East Hampton, Uncle Carlos decided that Sharkey and I should have a little adventure on Martha's motor scooter. You know how much we Frenchies like our wheels and what isn't fun about cruising on a motor scooter? There's so much freedom in the open air.
Comments (14)
When I was sitting on mom's lap reading this the first thing she said was - that is very dangerous. I thought the same thing and I knew that Uncle Carlos wouldn't let you ride without a helmet. Plus he was only using one hand!!!!
You should ask Martha to install a basket on the front of the scooter so you can ride and be safe, that would be fun.
Hi Ladies,
Boy oh boy did you two fool me. I was in panic mode for a minute thinking you were in danger. This would have been a good one for April Fool's Day. Uncle Carlos is the greatest isn't he? Have a great day.
Love & licks, Basil
Oh you girls and you're never ending tricks you play! I was worried thinking you were on that scooter without helmets! Sharkey's face looked like a scaredy cat! Uncle Carlos just played right along, too. Well, I'm glad the three of you had more sense than to scooter your booters without your hooters...?
PS. Practicing my French...serrer dans ses bras. Right?
Hi Gals,
You scared me there for a second or two because it sure looked like you were going for a ride without a helmet or a safe place to sit. I should know better though; Carlos wouldn't allow that and neither would Martha. It's a very cute little Vespa though but bicycles are fun too. I think you two would look so cute in helmets. Do they even make doggy helmets?
It's not a Vespa, it's an Italjet Velocifero. Calling it a Vespa is sort of like calling every car you see a Ford. Still, it's an interesting scooter—though I wouldn't call it "rare," you don't see many around these days. The Velocifero helped reignite interest in scootering in the U.S. right before Vespa started selling here again after a 20-year absence. Not the best scooter ever made, but it is cute and unique due to the side-by-side headlights.
As an avid scooterist, I would love to see pics of Martha riding it!
Hello Friends,
Wow! Martha's scooter is beautiful! How fun it must have been to sit with Uncle Carlos and pretend to be cruising around France with a beret on. That looks like fun.
I have never been riding on a bike, motorized or self-propelled. I'm a little too big for Mom to put me in a basket. I love to ride in her big car, though. She rolls down the window and I let the breeze blow throw my ears. It's really fun, especially when we drive along the ocean.
You two ladies just have so much fun everyday. I can't wait for your next adventure.
Fisher Jimmy
Mrrrowmrrrowmrrrow. It was MRRROWY good dat all of you was sitting still! - Uncle Carwos incwuded! Since nobunnie was wearin' helmets, it was good to know that evwybunnie was safe. If you go out to da beach, pweasepweasePWEASE be careful dat da oshunsurf doesn't 'neak up 'n whoosh you away. Fer one, you can't swim, and secondwy, you'll end up wike Shannon. ♫ 'Shannon is gone...she's dwifting out to sea...' ♫ Prrr. =^..^=
Hey F&S,
Look out Thelma and Louise, here come Francesca and Sharkey!
Martha's scooter Rocs is Out!!! My mom and I agree with Eric that we would love to see Martha on the scooter with you both as well. No offense Carlos, you are one lucky duck being able to care for such beautiful girls!
Also, would love to see some shots of you both at the beach there. How is the water, and is the sand nice and soft like at the southern tipe of N.J.? The further south that you go down the shoreline of New Jersey, the softer the sand gets. It's a good thing!
Bunny in N.J.
p.s. -- Let me know when you go for another ride on Martha's bike, and my Mom will hook me up with a basket on the front of her bike. That would be a Woof!
Cool scooter gals, love the Martha color of course!
Looks fun to sit or ride doesn't it?
I want a scooter I'd drive all over but this chow would feel much better in a side car!!!!
It looks really cool in East Hampton, I wish I lived by the ocean, we are on water rations here.
Happy adventures you two~
Mrs. Bosley Chow Chow
P.S it was 111 here yesterday so darn hot, today 108 wheeeeeee, I feel sorry for the 4H kids who are at our state fair here the next two weeks, animals and the heat don't mix.~
Super Cool!
My mom just got a new Vespa for commuting to work, and has already taken me on a ride. She got a front pack for me to sit in, and a helmet made by zoomergear. Its hard for me to wear though, 'cause my ears stand up just like you guys!
I have been keeping an eye out when she puts the keys away, I am thinking of sneaking out for a ride myself one night...
Uncle Carlos is a hoot! ohhhh no helmet? well it does look like it was a safe ride...very cute photos.
Hey you wild Biker Babes!
You fooled me!
I ride with my Mom on her scooter all the time. I love the feeling of the wind blowing through my ears and fur! Mom wears a special harness so I can see where we're going and that I get clipped into so I wont fall. I wear doggles too to protect my eyes from dirt & stuff( bugs). I think I'm going to have Mom look into that Helmut from that zoomergear company for me. You know you can never wear enough protection when your out riding. I hope those helmuts have a face shield. I'm not a big fan of getting bugs in my fur.. I don't like bugs..
Hey maybe I'll see you two cuties at the next scooter rally!
Big Daddy Biker Pooka

I haven't read a book for pleasure in about a decade. I've read a few for work assignments. I read trade journals, magazines related to my racing hobby, a daily newspaper and the internet. I don't have any reading time left to read books for pleasure. I know how you do it Saxy, but how do the rest of your guys with technical jobs, families and a hobby find time to read books for pleasure.Originally posted by Saxy Buff:
