Campaign finance documents filed this week show that Darrell Turner, chairman of the Cleburne County Democrats, picked up $29,700 in donations to support his bid for the Senate District 13 seat. Turner ended the month with $51,323 in his campaign coffers.
That nearly matches the $59,512 war chest reported by incumbent Sen. Gerald Dial, R-Lineville. Dial faces a primary challenge from Cleburne County Republican Party chair Tim Sprayberry, who had $8,980 in his campaign at the end of September.
"We've been pleasantly surprised," said Grant Hallmark, a Turner campaign spokesman.
Turner, a Heflin resident, works as the business representative for Local 798 of the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters, a pipefitters' labor union headquartered in Oklahoma. Campaign records show the union gave him $25,000 in September. He also has multiple individual donations, ranging in size from $200 to $3,000 from individual out-of-state donors, many of them in Oklahoma. Hallmark said those donors were largely union supporters who knew Turner through his work.
Dial raised a similar amount in September. An amended campaign finance report, filed Sept. 30, shows the incumbent raising $61,800 over a two-month period, with about a third of that raised in September. The biggest donors listed in that report were a series of political action committees — TRUK PAC, CAN PAC and BI PAC — which gave $5,000 each.
TRUK PAC represents the Alabama Trucking Association. CAN PAC and BI PAC are run by the Montgomery lobbying firm Fine, Geddie and Associates, and exist to promote "pro-development" candidates, according to the PACs' filings with the Secretary of State's office.
Dial said the donations came from a fundraiser friends held for him in Montgomery.
"These are people I've worked with in Montgomery, I know them and they know me, and they held this event," he said.
Dial's fundraising outpaced that of Tim Sprayberry, his primary opponent. Sprayberry had only $8,980 at the end of September, after paying various campaign expenditures, including $6,981 to Louisiana-based Republican strategist John Kay.
Sprayberry's biggest donor to date has been A-VOTE, the PAC for the Alabama Education Association, which gave him $30,000 in August. Sprayberry spent more than half of that money on administrative expenses in the same month.
Attempts to reach Sprayberry for comment Thursday were unsuccessful. In remarks to The Star in early September, he said he accepted the money from AEA after a discussion with the group's executive secretary, Henry Mabry, but didn't discuss specific policy positions.
"Mr. Mabry only asked that I be willing to have an open dialogue with him," Sprayberry said at the time.
Leaders of Alabama Democratic Majority, a Democratic group, said earlier this year that the District 13 seat was one of several they were targeting statewide in an effort to deny Republicans a supermajority in the Senate.
House District 29
In House District 29, incumbent Rep. Becky Nordgren, R-Gadsden, reported $12,002 in campaign funds at the end of September. Etowah County Coroner Michael Gladden, the Democratic candidate, had $25,000, the result of a donation from A-VOTE in August.
Attempts to reach Gladden Thursday were unsuccessful. Nordgren had $5,200 in donations from PACs in September, including BI PAC and the Alabama Power employees' PAC. In comments to The Star, she stressed money she received from individual donors in August.
"I have support from multiple entities ranging from $25 to $5,000," she said.
Calhoun County wasn't part of District 29 in the 2010, but after recent redistricting, it now includes a swath of the county's rural north.
Senate District 11
In Senate District 11, incumbent Sen. Jerry Fielding, R-Sylacauga, lags far behind his primary opponent Rep. Jim McClendon, R-Springville, in fundraising. McClendon had $157,418 at the end of September. Fielding had $35,326, about half of it raised in September.
Medical marijuana activist Ron Crumpton, who has announced as a Democratic candidate for Senate District 11, has yet to file any campaign finance paperwork.
Rep. Steve Hurst, R-Munford, lagged behind primary challenger Steve Dean in the fundraising race. Hurst had $1,653 at the end of September, to Dean's $10,085, though Hurst did spend more than $7,800 on advertising and polling during the month.
Other races
Several local lawmakers are as yet unopposed in their districts. Rep. Randy Wood, R-Saks, had $99,500 in campaign funds. Sen. Del Marsh, R-Anniston, had $71,781. Rep. K.L. Brown, R-Jacksonville, had $14,476. Rep. Barbara Boyd, D-Anniston, had $873 in campaign funds.
Republicans hold all of Alabama's statewide constitutional offices, and so far, no Democrats have emerged to challenge either Lt. Gov. Kay Ivey or Gov. Robert Bentley.
Bentley had $1.9 million in campaign funds at the end of September, campaign records show. His Republican primary opponent, Stacy George, had $45.

The Goo Goo Dolls hit the road in April for a spring acoustic tour: "The Otis Midnight Sessions." The shows will be performed in a "Story Tellers" format that enables the multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated band to dig deep into an extensive song catalog spanning their nearly 30-year history. The Miami University Middletown performance in 670 seat Dave Finkelman Auditorium offers a rare opportunity for fans to see them perform in a more intimate setting than the Goos normally visit on their many live treks.
Run River North will open for The Goo Goo Dolls. They have performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live, at the Grammy Museum and been interviewed on NPR's Weekend Edition with Scott Simon, all before releasing their self-entitled debut album in January. Run River North's six bandmates range in age from 20 to 27 and all come from first-generation Korean-American families. They started playing together in 2011 under the name Monsters Calling Home.

As seen on TVThe best and worst "As Seen on TV" products, from dog-hair picker-uppers to hands-free wine drinking, as tested and rated by Reader's Digest editors.
Sticky Buddy
Price: $10 + $6.99 S&H
What the company says: It's the "super-sticky lint roller that has the power of glue without the goo!" Use it on clothing, carpet, or furniture to easily remove "hair, dog hair, crumbs, cat litter, and much more!"
What we say: Let's throw our hands in the dust-free air for the Sticky Buddy! "This was great. I picked up hair and dirt from my carpet. And it all came off the Sticky Buddy with a simple wash in the sink," said one editor. "Perfect for small jobs," crowed another, especially for "cat hair." "There's a thing called a vacuum cleaner …" was the sour chorus sung by others.
Overall: 3.5 out of 4 stars
PLUS: Genius ways to save on gas >>
Price: $14.95 + $4.95 S&H
What the company says: "Bibs aren't just for babies!" "The stain-defending, commute-protecting, and stylish SlobStopper" is a "waterproof barrier."
What we say: "On my way to the train, my bagel landed on the bib and not on my pants-that's a good thing," said one oinker. But others deemed it meh: "I don't have much use for a bib, as I am over the age of three." In fact, it could cause more harm than good: "I spilled coffee, and it seeped under the SlobStopper's neck and dripped down onto my feet."
Overall: 2 out of 4 stars
PLUS: 27 foods you should never buy again >>
Style Snaps
Price: $10 + $7.99 S&H
What the company says: Forget tailoring your pants! Style Snaps uses snaps and adhesive to allow you to "change your hem as often as you change your shoes-without a stitch." Shorten or lengthen your pants on a whim; "it just couldn't be easier!"
What we say: Actually, it could be easier. While our testers loved all the "options," one fashionista noted that the instructions were "unclear and the photos unhelpful." "If you're the type of person who shudders when she reads the dreaded phrase some assembly required, these are not for you," added another. A third tester found them a bit flimsy: "The directions say to use four sets" for each hem, "but I think six are necessary. How embarrassing would it be to have the snaps come unstuck and cause you to trip?" One of our editors asked, "Haven't these people heard of double-sided fashion tape?"
PLUS: 13 things your fast food worker won't tell you >>
One Touch Jar Opener
Price: $21.95 + $0.85 S&H
What the company says: "Open the toughest jars with just one touch" while saving "time, frustration, and aggravation …" "Just place the opener on the jar, and press the button. That's it. The opener loosens the lid," solving all your jar-o-drama.
What we say: "This is like the little engine that could," said one happy tester. "It's slow and robotic, but it works, making it great for older folks-or my youngish wife, who asked me, 'Where's that jar opener?' when she couldn't open the peanut butter." Though the device is not the most intuitive ("Where were the instructions?"), "once I figured out how it worked-it was magical. Like watching a really good waiter get a wine cork out in one seamless pull."
Overall: 3.5 out of 4 stars
Price: $14.99 + $7.95 S&H
What the company says: Kiss your hammer and nails goodbye because now you can "hang any object big or small in seconds." "Just place flush against the wall, push" the top, and into the wall a peg goes. "No more large nail holes, no more hammer damage." Pegs hold "up to ten pounds."
What we say: "It's like a big stapler," said one tester, but "kind of difficult to load. And the spring-load is chintzy." Not only that, added Mr. Pessimist, but "it took me three tries to get one to stick in my plaster walls. The pegs were too easily pulled out." But one editor was wearing rose-colored glasses after tacking up a frame. For "smaller, lighter pieces, the InstaHang is a win," she said. But for anything heavier, count on it to be an #InstaFail. Update: That piece of artwork our editor hung so effortlessly? It crashed to the floor a week later.

The biggest surge of money came into the Romney campaign during the final few frantic weeks, but the Obama fundraising drive kept the campaign spending close. In the murky world of fundraising and contributing, the Democrats may have even surpassed their opposition.
To no one's surprise, the election also was an extravaganza of spending money donated by ultra-wealthy individuals, collected by various super-PACs and squirreled away by politically oriented nonprofit "social welfare" organizations. Through those organizations, people and groups who do not want to be identified can launder their campaign contributions and underwrite so-called "issue ads."
That worked fine for the Obama campaign. Not so well for Romney — and not so well for other GOP candidates, since Republican super-PACs that backed the party's Senate candidates in Virginia, Michigan and Massachusetts lost all three races.
Yet, despite losing the biggest prize, the White House, Romney finance chairman Spencer Zwick declared the election a fundraising victory. "Every dollar we raised," Zwick told the Associated Press, "was put to use in the effort to elect Mitt Romney," and the amount spent represented "the most successful in Republican Party history."
To follow this logic, Romney lost because he got fewer votes, but the GOP won because it raised more money.
Also, following this logic, it is unlikely that a Republican-controlled House of Representatives will be amenable to campaign-finance reform. It's also not likely that the victorious Democrats will seek to change a campaign-finance system that served them so well.
So, get ready. Unless the Supreme Court changes its mind about limits on campaign contributions, future elections will have more of what we saw in 2012.
And we must ask ourselves: Is what is being bought worth the money?

In 1984 the LEGO Group partnered with the Media Laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which among others led to the development and release of the technic Computer Control system in 1986 and Mindstorms in 1998.
Mindstorms Robotics Invention System
Mindstorms 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 came with an rcx brick that had ports to connect 3 motors and 3 sensors using the 9V connector cables and a 2x2x2/3 brick with metal in the studs.
Communication with the RCX brick is via infrared, either a Serial/USB "Tower" or a remote control.
Mindstorms NXT
Mindstorms NXT was released in 2006 and can be enhanced with microphones, cameras, and other sensors. The nxt brick has 4 sensor ports and 3 motor ports, and uses RJ12 connectors.
Communication with the NXT brick is via either a direct USB connection or Bluetooth.

Mike Pyle just took his fist and knocked out Josh Neer in the first round
Well, now we know if you do an interview with MiddleEasy in an ice bath there's (at least) a 50% chance of you winning your next fight. This has been officially proven by Layziethesavage, Phil Baroni and Mike Pyle as you can see in this intimate bath setting video somewhere in Las Vegas. If we were smart, we would set up some sort of late night marketing campaign with Layzie and an ice bath in an effort to repeat Miss Cleo's success from the 90's. But we already know Layzie could never pull off the Jamaican accent...And that's a whole other article all together.
After a stand n wang type of first round, Mike Pyle dropped Josh Neer like a boss. UFC on FX 3 is out of control rawesome.

Mission, Texas
Bentsen Palm Village RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
Beautiful, park best ever. Close to stores. We stayed in 600 circle pull thrus. Most winter Texans were gone. This is the nicest park we've stayed in. Wide roads, green spaces. In winter would be lots of activities. Great place to winter. Washrooms and laundry clean. All positive about park, very pet friendly. Only negative is smell from sewer.
Henderson, Louisiana
Cajun Palms RV Resort
[ 10/10 ]
Beautiful, clean, large lots, pull-through, and back-ins, family park. Stayed for 2 weeks. Resort like feel. Lots of spaces available through the week. Weekends full of locals, as their destination weekend park. Quiet during the week. More noise on weekend but everything quiets down by 9:30. 2 laundries. Wi-Fi very spotty. Would highly recommend this park for short or long term stay.
Rockport, Texas
Wilderness Oaks RV Park (formerly Rockport 35 RV Park Resort)
[ 8/10 ]
Under renovations to cable and sewer. Management quick to explain why park in process of upgrade. Streets are narrow, lots of sand burrs in the grass. Pull-through at front of park for overnight and short term. Management continually improving. Older park, but not the worst park we have ever stayed at. It's clean, but dated. We would stay here again.
Galveston, Texas
Jamaica Beach RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
Older park. Well maintained. Across the road from nice beach. Extremely pet friendly. Accommodating management. Clean, lots to do in area. Horseback riding besides park. 1/2 hr from lots to do in Galveston. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys the beach, due to proximity.
St Augustine, Florida
Stagecoach RV Park
[ 6/10 ]
Clean park,friendly staff, grass sites, easy access in and out. Walking distance to outlet mall. Great for overnight stay.
Panama City Beach, Florida
Emerald Coast RV Beach Resort
[ 10/10 ]
Park is exceptional, clean, wide roads, 2 pools and lots of things to do. Short walk to hwy 98 where there are lots of attractions, restaurants. Short drive to the beach. A true luxury resort, backs ins and pull thrus, with special section just for large Motor Coaches. Cable is an extra 2.50/day. Although we found the price high it was in line with amenities in the area. We would definitely recommend this park.
Wells, Maine
Moody Beach RV Campground
[ 2/10 ]
Stayed one night as overnight park opened Mid April. Lots uneven, lots of trees, state of disrepair. In the middle of the campground badly run down vacation cottages. Not an impressive park. No Internet at site, no cable. Water and sewer were available. Stayed thru passport America discount. Would not stay there again. There are lots of campsites in the area. On the plus side, park is close to beaches.
Plattekill, New York
New York City North / Newburgh KOA
[ 7/10 ]
We had an overnight stay here. Lots of sites were available. Large sites, well spaced. Early in the year so some amenities were not open such as the pool, playground. During peak season this would be an excellent family camping spot. Not too far from I-84. Store was well stocked with lots of goodies. The only negative thing would be price. $63 is a bit high for this time of year and KOA does not accept any discounts such as Good Sam, AAA.
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
Gettysburg Campground
[ 7/10 ]
Stayed 2 nights. Close to Gettysburg attractions which were great. Staff friendly. Park is clean and well maintained. Lots of pull through sites. As we camped in April there were lots of spaces available. Within driving distance to Hershey. Lots spacious.
Verona, Virginia
Shenandoah Valley Campground
[ 7/10 ]
Stayed one night. Was KOA. Staff friendly. Store and take out on site. Lots were level. Scenic trails in park which were great for dog walking. Very picturesque park. Park is clean and family friendly. Road into park is narrow with lots of turns, maybe hard to manoeuvre in a large bus. We had no problem with 5th wheel. Would recommend.
Bristol, Tennessee
Lakeview RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
RV park is approximately 3 miles from Bristol Speedway. Park is very well kept. 25 and 35 ft wide sites were available. Park is located on a hill. Main road is paved and wide. Sites are gravel with lots of room to back into. Nice dog park and river across the street, which is for park guests. Very impressive facilities, clean bathrooms, showers, and laundry. Great place in the hills of Tennessee. Would recommend.
Chattanooga, Tennessee
Best Holiday Trav-L-Park of Chattanooga
[ 8/10 ]
Very nice campground with mostly pull-through sites. Park is clean and work is being done to improve grades on sites. Close to amenities. Would recommend for overnight or few days stay.
Montgomery, Alabama
The Woods RV Park and Campground LLC
[ 8/10 ]
Right off highway. Near restaurants,etc. Motorcycle rally the night we stayed and park was still quiet. Staff was friendly. Would recommend for overnight stay.
Silverhill, Alabama
Wales West RV Resort
[ 6/10 ]
Stayed for one night. Great family park with lots of activities for kids. Fairly close to Mobile. Staff friendly and helpful. Would recommend for families.
Tallahassee, Florida
Big Oak RV Park
[ 5/10 ]
Close to Tallahassee attractions, with lots of restaurants and major chains within short distance. Park itself is in need of a facelift,but has good structure. Good for overnight stay. Staff friendly and helpful.
St Augustine, Florida
Indian Forest Campground
[ 6/10 ]
Nice park. Staff friendly. Great for overnight stay. Short drive to historic St. Augustine. Sites are good width, but are quite uneven. Dirt roads and lots of oak trees. We stayed for 1 week.
Ocala, Florida
Ocala Sun RV Resort
[ 6/10 ]
Park is well situated off I-75. Sites are long but extremely narrow. Has all the amenities anyone would want. OK for overnight stay, but would not be appealing to me as an extended stay park.
Hudson, Florida
Three Lakes RV Resort
[ 10/10 ]
We stayed here for 1 week with a Sun Resort first timers coupon for $125. Sites are large and on concrete pads, mostly extended stays. Park is nicely laid out with modular homes on one side and RV's on the other side. Park staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Residents are also very friendly. Lots of things to do in immediate area. Beach is just a short drive from the park and lots of shopping near by. We've been traveling through Florida and this is one park we would definitely consider staying at for one month.
Fort Myers, Florida
Groves RV Resort
[ 7/10 ]
Stayed at Groves in 24' travel trailer for one week. Park is old, sites are small, and most of the sites are seasonal homes. That being said, staff was very friendly, residents were also friendly, and there were lots of activities available. Proximity to local attractions made the stay very enjoyable. We would consider returning for a short period, but would not consider a long term stay at this park as there are other resorts in the Fort Myers area.
Moore Haven, Florida
M RV Resort
[ 9/10 ]
Stayed here for 2 weeks through Passport America discounted rate. The park itself is very nice, facilities are extremely well maintained, and staff takes great pride in ensuring guests are happy. Easy access to park off Highway 27. Only downfall is not with the park itself, but the location is quite a distance from shopping, etc. There is an IGA Grocery Store in Moore Haven which is about 7 miles away and a Walmart Supercentre in Clewiston which is 23 miles away. Great place for anyone who enjoys a country setting. Wouldn't hesitate to visit again.
Homestead, Florida
The Boardwalk RV Resort
[ 1/10 ]
The park is in need of care. The sites are small and hard to get into. There are a lot of permanent residents and the snow birds are not welcoming to strangers. The park has over 150 stray cats wondering around and if you like to listen to cats fighting at night, this is the place for you. Homestead itself is a very nice place and is close to a lot of attractions and a short drive to Key Largo and Everglades National park. We could only get 1 TV as cable has to be purchased for one month. We would check the other RV parks in the area prior to booking again.
Naples, Florida
Club Naples RV Resort
[ 10/10 ]
Very nice park. We are new to the RV world and found the residents here extremely nice and very helpful. One even backed our trailer into our spot. If we were looking for an extended stay RV park, this would be the place, but we like to move around. We would give this park an overall excellent rating.

Walnut Brownies
So now I am confused about the name – it wouldn't be right to take the 'olive' out and call them oily brownies. Finally settle on calling them walnut brownies. That seems right given this is my winter of walnuts.
E is a little lukewarm about them. The edges are a little dry and he tells me they aren't chocolatey enough. I feel a bit the same way when I sample them warm. They are better the next day when we are eating the middle pieces. We both find we love them. Rich and gooey, just like brownies should be.
I would tell you more but there is a crying baby demanding my attention. So you will just have to believe me when I say these are excellent and I must rush. So my advice is this: make them, use good chocolate, eat them in small squares at room temperature and impress your friends and family with them.
Walnut Brownies Adapted from Adventures of an Italian Food Lover by Faith Heller Willinger
100g dark chocolate, at least 70% cocoa solids, broken up
⅓ cup walnut oil
½ cup plain flour
¼ tsp sea salt
2 large eggs
⅔ cups brown sugar, not packed
½ cup white choc chips
⅔ cups toasted walnuts nuts, chopped
1 tsp vanilla extract (I forgot)
Extra walnuts for sprinkling (optional)
Melt chocolate and stir in oil. Add sugar and eggs, and stir till glossy. Gently mix in flour, salt, walnuts, choc chips and till just combined. Spread into a greased and lined 20cm square cake tin (or in my cake a 22cm round cake tin) and bake at 180 C for 22-26 min. It is ready when the top is just dry and a toothpick is still a little moist when inserted in the middle. I did mine for 26 minutes and it could have been a little more gooey. Cool in the tin and cut into squares.

YUMMY. One day I will be brave enough to try making brownies, they seem hard to get right!ReplyDelete
I really like hearing how recipes go through different iterations - though it's funny that your has ended up needing a new name! The second batch sounds really good, and the walnuts even up its healthy credentials!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous. Been a winter of walnust 'round here, too.ReplyDelete
Blur will fix you up nicely - nothing cheers me more than a bit of Damon Albarn being Very British.
Thanks Flower - hope you do try brownies - they taste so good when fresh and gooeyReplyDelete
Thanks Lysy - I would still like to try them and have success with the olive oil but the walnut oil was calling my name!
Thanks Lucy - blur and walnuts make a great winter - strange I have not used walnuts much lately until this winter when suddenly I just can't get enough of them
I tend to think brownies in any form would be yummy, but I'm sure the lindt/walnut oil ones were spectacular!ReplyDelete

The movie pitch: Turn of the century (the 20th). The son of a small-town blacksmith is spotted on the baseball fields of Kennebunk, Maine. Recruited by Colby College, he stars in three sports and earns his tuition money (pre-NCAA rules) playing summer baseball for $25 a week. Planning to go to graduate school (MIT) in chemistry, he is recruited again, this time by Connie Mack, legendary manager of the Philadelphia Athletics. The strapping Mainer signs for the then-astounding sum of $2,400 and, immediately upon graduation from Colby, packs his glove and boards a train for Philly. Vaulting to stardom, he pitches his team to back-to-back world championships.
John "Colby Jack" Coombs (Class of 1906), at right, wears his Philadelphia Athletics uniform while being feted at Coombs Day at Colby in 1912.
That's the 30-second version of the story of Colby Jack Coombs (Class of 1906), which baseball writer John Tierney meticulously recounts in Jack Coombs: A Life In Baseball (McFarland, 2008). It's a remarkable tale, from Coombs's meteoric rise, to his battles to overcome career-threatening injuries and illness, to his adherence to a strict code of clean living, on and off the field. Said Coombs, speaking at the dedication of Coombs Field at Colby in 1951, "I hope that all young men who play upon it will be inspired to live the lives of clean, honest, true-blue athletes."
No steroid scandal here. In fact, Tierney's book can be enjoyed both for its recounting of Coombs's remarkable career and for its depiction of professional baseball long before nine-figure contracts and A-Rod's dirty laundry.
Just a year out of Colby, in 1907, Coombs already was one of the top pitchers in baseball. He had beaten Boston's Cy Young (yes, the Cy Young) and was building a reputation as a gutsy gamer with nasty stuff. "He works like an old-timer," reported The Washington Post, "and incidentally, has a lot of speed and excellent curves."
An arm injury derailed that season, but Coombs was back in 1908. That caught the attention of none other than sports columnist Ring Lardner, then with the Chicago Tribune. "For weeks he has pitched every third day at least, and for a while he was used every other day," Lardner reported. "In the twelfth and thirteenth rounds yesterday he appeared to weaken." Coombs won the game, and Lardner would go on to describe his pitching as "one of the wonders of the land."
This was before pitchers became specialists, taking the mound for an inning or even a single batter. In Coombs's day, a starting pitcher was his own closer. As Tierney tells it, "With darkness beginning to settle in during the sixteenth inning, [Coombs] ended his performance with a flourish, striking out the last three Chicago hitters." Sixteen innings, 18 strikeouts, three hits. For Coombs, another day at the office.
He would go on to help the A's win the World Series in 1910 and 1911, his salary climbing to $5,000. The 1911 championship earned Coombs a bonus of more than $3,600. He was a celebrity and formed a vaudeville act with two teammates. A former Colby thespian, Coombs was the star.
In the spring of 1913, Coombs contracted typhoid fever, the infection settling in his lower spine. He spent months in a body cast and missed two seasons. When he returned to baseball in 1915, with the Brooklyn Robins, he was more crafty than overpowering and, while successful, couldn't bring home another World Series championship.
But, as Tierney recounts, Coombs was stoical about the downturn in his career, seeing athletics as being as much about character as success. When the Black Sox game-rigging scandal broke in 1920, Tierney writes, it was suggested that "somebody like Jack Coombs" be appointed to a board to police the sport.
Coombs went on to coach college baseball, settling at Duke University after a stop at Williams College. He wrote a landmark baseball textbook, a 300-page scientific examination of the game. Coombs and his wife, Mary, had no children, and his players and students came to be his family, Tierney writes. Perhaps because of his illness-shortened career, Coombs was never elected to the Hall of Fame.
A baseball writer and historian, Tierney doesn't overdramatize his subject. In the end, the facts, some of which were gleaned from Miller Library's Special Collections, speak for themselves. It seems a fitting tone, just the way Coombs would have told the story himself. "There is much in life if a man lives and does all things above-board," Coombs said in a 1943 interview with the Sporting News. "I hope I have lived that kind of life at all times."
Write that into the script.

You're picky, selecting only the best organic fruits and vegetables, or cruelty-free meats and poultry to prepare healthy, well-balanced meals for your family.
You might not be so thoughtful when it comes to your dog's dining choices. Does it come straight off the grocery store shelf, plopped from can or bag into Fido's bowl? OK, maybe we're being too tough on you. Perhaps you lovingly spring for the extra cost of organic, natural dog food from the pet store or the Web.

Miss Spider's in the house! Paint an egg yellow, glue or draw on facial details as instructed, add black pipe cleaners as legs.
Watch Miss Spider weekdays @ 11AM ET on Nick Jr.
Cut an individual cell from a cardboard egg carton, turn the cell upside down, and cut an opening in the top just big enough to secure the small end of the egg. While kids paint the stand yellow and dye (or paint) the egg, prepare the nose, eyelashes and legs.
Cut the tip off the yellow crayon with a serrated knife and set it aside. Cut out the black-felt eyelashes (freehand about half-inch long) and show kids how to glue a wiggle eye to each. Snip the pipe cleaners into four 2 1/2-inch lengths.
When the egg is dry, glue the tuft of red fun fur or feather to the top of the egg's wide end. Or, if you are using a feather, parents can bore a small hole into the top of the egg with a sewing needle, then insert the feather and trim it with scissors.
Glue the crayon tip "nose" to the center of the egg. Glue the eyes to the egg above the nose. (They should be quite far apart, almost to the sides of the egg.)
With the green marker, make "freckles" over Miss Spider's nose. With red marker, make a smile.
Parents can poke two holes on either side of the painted egg stand through which the pipe cleaner legs can be inserted. Kids can put the pipe cleaners in. Bend each one slightly. Place Miss Spider's head on top of the stand.

|City of Enterprise
Enterprise is a city in the southeastern part of Coffee and the southwestern part of Dale Counties in the southeastern part of Alabama in the Southern United States. The population was 26,562 in the year 2010.
Enterprise is famous for the Boll Weevil Monument, a large monument of a woman holding a boll weevil, which is located in the middle of Main St. The city erected the statue because the destruction of the cotton crop by the boll weevil had led to agricultural diversity, starting with peanuts and more prosperity than had ever come from cotton alone. It is said to be the only statue to an insect pest in the world. Enterprise is also right outside of Fort Rucker, an Army base which is the home of Army Aviation.
Also, Enterprise is home to the Enterprise branch of the Enterprise-Ozark Community College. The aviation branch is located in Ozark, Alabama. Enterprise-Ozark is a Micropolitan Statistical Area that, combined with the Dothan Metropolitan Statistical Area, form the Dothan-Enterprise-Ozark Combined Statistical Area.
Founding of the Boll Weevil Monument[edit]
The founder of Enterprise, John Henry Carmichael, first settled there in 1881. Carmichael opened a store, which attracted more settlers to the area, and by the next year a post office was relocated from the settlement of Drake Eye to the north to Enterprise. In 1896, with 250 people having settled there, the city of Enterprise incorporated. Soon afterward, the Alabama Midland Railway came to Enterprise, bringing with it opportunities for commerce and growth. By 1906, ten years after the city incorporated, its population had grown to 3,750.[1]
The way of life in Enterprise came under threat in 1915. An infestation of boll weevils had found its way into the region's cotton crops, resulting in the destruction of most of the cotton in Coffee County. Facing economic ruin, the nearly bankrupt area farmers were forced to diversify, planting peanuts and other crops in an effort to lessen the damage and recoup some of the losses inflicted upon them by the invading insect.[1]
Two years later, Coffee County was the leading producer of peanuts in the US. Enterprise was able not only to stave off disaster, but its economy was renewed by the thriving new crop base. In appreciation, the people of Enterprise erected a monument in the city center to what the monument describes as their "herald of prosperity"; the boll weevil.[2] The Boll Weevil Monument was dedicated on December 11, 1919, as a reminder of how the city adjusted in the face of adversity. It is the only monument to an agricultural pest in the world.[1]
March 2007 tornado[edit]
In the early afternoon of Thursday, March 1, 2007, Enterprise was hit by a devastating tornado (rated EF4) during the February–March 2007 Tornado Outbreak.[3] The tornado caused nine deaths, injured over 121 others, and left severe damage in the city estimated at nearly $307,000,000, becoming the worst disaster in Enterprise history. The worst damage occurred at Enterprise High School, where eight students died after one hallway was almost completely destroyed. A quarter-mile (400 m) wide swath through the downtown area was devastated, with at least 370 houses damaged or destroyed. The National Guard was called into the city, and a dusk-to-dawn curfew was implemented immediately after the disaster.

I am still recovering from the Titanic dinner party this weekend (darn seasonal allergies that got me halfway through everything!), but will have some pictures of my gown and the event on Wednesday. (I might post a sneak peek on Facebook though…) Until then, I wanted to share a little something that my lovely friend Sammy of Sammy Davis Vintage and I have been working on!
She's started a series where bloggers take one vintage garment and style it several different ways, giving ideas about how to work vintage into the modern lifestyle. She sweetly asked me to be a part of this series and I picked a late 50s blue shirtwaist dress I had bought at an estate sale a couple years ago. The challenge was not so much coming up with four looks, but keeping myself from dreaming up even more! hehe. You know I love this concept of making clothes work different ways, so this was right up my alley. Click here to drop by the Sammy Davis Vintage blog and read the entirety of the post with all four of the shirtwaist looks (and be sure to check out the other participant's style posts as well)! Thanks again to Sammy for having me be a part of this series! (And thank you to Sailor Husband for taking all of the photos–he was really patient since this was a bit of an epic photoshoot!)

Portland >Arts & Entertainment > Acropolis Steakhouse
8325 SE Mcloughlin Blvd, Portland, OR | Directions 9720245.462553 -122.639043
Daily 11am-2:30am
Neighborhoods: Sellwood - Moreland Improvement League, Southeast Uplift Neighborhood Program
Only one place serves an eight ounce, six dollar Sirloin steak with a side of garlic bread and strippers: The A-Crop. Appreciate over 65 beers on tap and at least two dancers on four beveled mirror backed stages.
The Acropolis might not be Portland's best steakhouse, and it might not be its best strip club, but it's without a doubt the best steakhouse and strip club here -- or possibly anywhere.
beautiful women great food! – So this was my first time going to a club like this and i have to say well worth the trip absolutely gorgeous women very energetic outgoing, wonderful what more could a girl want they have a little bit of everything each girl is different and the food is inexpensive but very good. bartender is a little on the slow side and not very personable, as the club is i absolutely recommend this club and when i am in portland next year will be going back specifically to see 2 gorgous pinup girls!
Good strip club – The Acropolis is worth the trip. The food and beer are really good prices. The ribs aren't that great, but they are cheap. The girls are typical of Portland strip clubs. Not fantastic but pretty good. Go before 5:30 to avoid the cover charge.
This place is great! – From some of the other posts I was expecting the steaks to be poor quality, but they are good...about equal in quality to the big steak chain places, and way better than the steaks offered at the big chain non-steak house places. The price, of course, is way lower. The beer is not rip off priced. The girls are not amazing - but none of them were ugly. There is a real blue collar vibe here.
Clean the place up – If they would go by the book and clean the kitchen once in a while and clean out a container before putting new food in it. I would love it because they are one of the only places left around that serve gyro's with the real meat.. Too bad they dont take better care of there food because it is good food, it 's just the neglect of what the cooks do to it after the owner brings it in..The service is horrible all the waitress are always getting high or drunk and dont come around or check back with you. What happen to the good old days when the old main crew used to work there about 10 years ago.. Those were the day when you got the best service the best food and the best looking dancers that actually put on a show and danced!!!
dancers? Get real – I have been to alot of strip clubs and was a dancer back in back in the day. I can't call these girls dancers. Some of them are very pretty and one has the greatest butt I have ever seen, but all she did was walk around flexing her butt cheeks and spanking herself. I really would have liked to see the girls dance but the 3 or 4 we saw while there never took to the pole even once. Too bad. If you are an older asian man or a college student you will like this place. If you want to see girls with real breasts that actually dance, go on down the road. But don't stop at blush!
this is highly rated?! – are you kidding me? this is a highly rated place? are the owners writing these things?
OK, so maybe if your out with college buddies, while in college, and don't have that much money to spend on a slab of "almost" food while looking at some bad b**b jobs, and don't mind getting your own drinks and cleaning off a place to sit from the pile of cheese fries that almost made it into someones mouth.... than this is the place for you. I was there 20 minutes and wasn't even able to get a drink at the bar the line was so long, much less anything else enjoyable.
if you want comfortable place to sit, semi clean, a place that brings you a drink etc... well, look elsewhere else, and save the gas money to tip the dancers
Best steaks in town and most aesthetically pleasing stripper chicks of any club! – If you're looking for exceptional American cuisine and a huge selection of beers on tap and exceptionally beautiful and athletic stripper chicks, then this is definitely the spot. The Acrop has the best steaks in town at the best prices, too! Can you believe it? They serve beef that is of a much higher quality than the beef served in every one of Portland's high-class dining establishments in the downtown area; I've been to all them. And they charge next to nothing for these delicious steaks. There's also an actual salad bar for those that are concerned about longevity and preserving their health--I've never met a steak-eater that was as physically as strong as me... but occasionally I do eat a steak or two just to experience what a typical fat Oregonian eats. And the girls at this place.... they actually rival all the other strippers at most of the other Portland strip clubs in terms of sheer physical beauty; and some of them look like they actually exercise and do a little weight training. That's always a nice touch!
Unbelievable – I went to acropolis becasuse it was my 21st and i have heard nothing but good things, When i got there there was a # dollar cover, No girls, No music and hardly any people. There were nothing but games, Expensive drinks and the people who were there were drunk idiots. I might try it again but i doubt it... It's not worth the drive.
The people that work here - make this place the #1 exotic stop. – Seriously here :). I won't cut down other places, but nothing can put a damper on your night more than a slow, crabby server. You won't get that here. The ladies that serve the drinks (and A+ steaks/food) here are really 'kick in the ### fun' people. Sadly :) they know me by name now - or wait ... who cares .. they rock.
Special mention for Troy at the front - a bouncer that actually is not an a-hole! Really cool guy - sets the tone right off the bat .. then there is Alex serving tables .... she is sharp as a tack, witty and always makes us laugh. A+
All other things being equal - the employees that remain clothed are what really make the Acropolis the best exotic club in Portland. Not that I have a problem with unclothed women taking my $ bills, but they'd be nice to me if I were Captain Pike drooling, with two beeps for 'yes.'
Server/bouncer staff being so fun, and family-like - that is unusual for a 'strip bar'. Go! Have fun.
AVOID!!! – Horrible service. Five friends and I waited two hours before a waitress came to take our order. Dancers are all 40+ years old.

Eastern Caribbean Cruise Aboard Carnival's "Miracle" Cruise Line
October 28th – November 6th, 2012
Join us on this 8 day Carnival cruise to the Eastern Caribbean and see some of the most beautiful tropical islands in the world. From the charm of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, to the delightful mix of French and Dutch cultures in St. Maarten, Eastern Caribbean Cruises give you it all. And don't forget the world-class sunning, Caribbean scuba diving and duty-free shopping of St. Thomas. No one knows the Eastern Caribbean like Carnival. We'd love to show it to you, and an Eastern Caribbean Cruise is the best way to see it.
Your Vacation Includes:
*Round trip transportation aboard a deluxe motorcoach
*Guided city tour of New York City
*Pre-cruise hotel stay in New York City with Breakfast included
*Eight night cruise on board Carnival's "Miracle"
*All entertainment and meals on board the ship
*All port and government taxes
San Juan, Puerto Rico:
Historic San Juan, once nothing more than cobblestone streets and the distinctive architecture of the Spanish, who founded it, is now a modern world capital. Among the peaceful shaded courtyards and commanding colonial fortresses of El Morro and San Cristobal, you'll find a cosmopolitan city of wide boulevards, lively cafes, highly regarded galleries and designer boutiques. This is where the old world meets the new — and you can enjoy them both.
St. Thomas, USVI:
Pirates once roamed the alleys of this beautiful island, which is today besieged by a treasure trove of shopping options. But there's more to this shopper's Shangri-La than an international grab-bag of perfume and electronics. This U.S. Virgin Island also claims not only one of the world's most beautiful beaches - the heart-shaped Magens Bay - but a world-renowned golf course and simply spectacular nightlife. You can don a snorkel to explore coral reefs bright as a wildflower meadow, or take in the amazing views on a soaring aerial tram ride to Paradise Point. You'd be surprised at just how much of the above fits into just 32 square miles!
Grand Turk:
Grand Turk is the largest of the Turks Islands, named after an indigenous cactus that actually looks like it's wearing a Turkish fez. With a population of less than 4,000, the island has plenty of room to relax, swim, dive or fish, and just the weather for doing it; the average temperature ranges from 80-90 degrees Fahrenheit and there are around 350 days of sunshine per year.
San Juan, Puerto Rico
Cost per Person: Inside Cabin: $1,260.00. Balcony: $1,530.00 a $25.00 deposit is required at sign up, $300.00 is due by May 1st with remaining balance due by August 1st. **Passports are required for this trip**

U.S. stock index futures signaled a lower open on Wall Street on Tuesday, with both Asian and European markets down due to ongoing concerns about the U.S. "fiscal cliff" and uncertainty about Greece.
U.S. equities have come under pressure since last week's election as investors worry that if no deal is reached to prevent the automatic spending cuts and tax increases that hit at the end of the year, the economy could slip into recession.
"We've got a generation of zombie consumers that are haunting the landscape in the United States," Stephen Roach, Yale University senior fellow, said on CNBC Tuesday. "What the consumption weakness shows you is the economy doesn't have a cushion, so when you hit an economy without a cushion with sharp fiscal consolidation we'll go immediately into recession."
U.S. small-business sentiment ticked up to 93.1 in October as uncertainty about future business conditions reached a record high. "We haven't been above 95 during this entire recovery" that started in July 2009, said William Dunkelberg, NFIB's chief economist.
In Europe, the Eurogroup of finance ministers, which met in Brussels on Monday, decided to give Greece two more years to make budget cuts. However, they postponed a decision on a further tranche of aid for Greece until November 20. Meanwhile, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde and Eurogroup Chair Jean-Claude Juncker
over the deadline for Greece to lower its debt levels.
Turning to U.S. corporate news, Home Depot reported third-quarter earnings, excluding charges of 74 cents per share, 4 cents ahead of Street estimates. Revenue came in at $18.1 billion as same-store sales rose 4.2 percent worldwide. The company also raised its outlook as the housing market continues to improve.
Fashion house Michael Kors Holdings forecast profits for the holiday quarter that missed Wall Street's high expectations despite its projections for another quarter of strong revenue growth.
Saks, meanwhile, forecast that Hurricane Sandy will lead to flat same-store sales in the current quarter. Stores affected by the storm account for more than half its sales.
Xerox announced plans to raise its dividend next year and hike its share buyback program by $1 billion. It will also take a $100 million charge related to a previously announced restructuring.
Steven Sinofsky, the executive most widely tipped to be the next chief executive of Microsoft, has left the software giant.
Cisco will report earnings after the closing bell.
Earlier on Tuesday, Vodafone posted a 1.4 percent fall in organic service revenue in the second quarter, due to a sharp slowdown in its southern European business. The British company wrote down the value of its business in Spain and Italy by 5.9 billion pounds ($9.3 billion) and lowered its full-year outlook.
The U.S. Treasury Department's monthly budget for October will be issued at 2 p.m. on Tuesday. Economists polled by Briefing.com forecast a $113 billion deficit, against a September deficit of $98.5 billion.
The Treasury is set to auction $32 billion in 13-week notes and $28 billion in 26-week notes on Tuesday, with the results available in the afternoon. A total of $85 billion in 13-week, 26-week and 52-week bills will be issued by the end of this week.
On Tap This Week:
TUESDAY: Treasury budget; Earnings from Cisco
WEDNESDAY: Weekly mortgage apps, PPI, retail sales, business inventories, FOMC minutes, 13-F filings, Facebook lockup lifts; Earnings from Abercrombie & Fitch, Staples, Tyco, Limited Brands, NetApp
THURSDAY: PI, jobless claims, Empire state mfg survey, Philadelphia Fed survey, oil inventories, Fed bank of Chicago annual conf., credit card default rates reported; Earnings from Target, Wal-Mart, Viacom, Gap, Dell
