Great things sometimes happen in unexpected places.
Take Easton Town Center, for example. Despite its Columbus, Ohio, setting, the 1.7-million-sq.-ft. open-air project has, since its opening in 1999, set the standard for town-center development in some of the country's premier markets. Co-developed by Columbus, Ohio-based Steiner + Associates and The Georgetown Co., New York City, Easton Town Center earned the International Council of Shopping Centers' "Most Innovative Design" award in 2000. It features amenities that have come to be expected from open-air lifestyle projects—pedestrian-friendly streetscapes, fountains, gathering spaces, play areas, parks—but what isn't so expected is Easton's almost uncanny connection with Ohio shoppers.
"If you don't provide your customers with what they want, they will go somewhere else," said Yaromir Steiner, CEO, Steiner + Associates. What Ohio customers want, said Steiner, is a high-end shopping destination. "Easton has become not just a Columbus destination, but one for the Cleveland region, the Cincinnati region and even many of the smaller towns in Ohio," said Steiner.
What those shoppers find when they shop Easton is a wide range of retail offerings, most skewing toward the higher end. And that is by design. "We are trying to capture the leakage of dollars that would go to New York or Chicago or Los Angeles," said Steiner. "We are identifying the categories we feel shoppers want or need, and then we seek out those retailers to fill those wants and needs." Such as Tiffany & Co.
In mid-February, internationally renowned jeweler Tiffany announced it would open a store at Easton in November 2008. The fact that such a celebrated, high-end brand would choose Columbus, Ohio, as a site for a new store came as a surprise to some, but not to Steiner. "They were amazed by the caliber of the environment in which people lived and worked and shopped here," he said. Beth Canavan, executive VP of New York City-based Tiffany & Co., said, "Easton Town Center is the most desirable location in this region for a Tiffany & Co. store."
Tiffany will open a 6,200-sq.-ft. space in a premier Easton site at the corner of New Bond Street and The Strand. It will sit immediately adjacent to a much-publicized expansion of Henri Bendel; the Easton Bendel store is the only location in existence outside of its Fifth Avenue flagship in New York City. For its Easton redevelopment, Henri Bendel closed shop on Feb. 2 and will reopen this fall with a larger store that showcases a new look and expanded merchandise assortment.
The expansion of Henri Bendel and the addition of Tiffany & Co. stand as testament that a status symbol is never static. Easton Town Center, with all of its success over the past decade, continues to evolve.
"Our goal always is to be perceived as the higher-end shopping destination for retail, providing the most current merchandise in the marketplace," said Steiner. "That's a continuing battle."

This Week in Bunting to Beat the Shift, 5/23
Same old intro time: Last month I started a season-long series (continued here, here, here and here) devoted to tracking bunts for base hits with the infield shift in effect; this is the sixth installment. To bring you up to speed on the series' premise and methodology will take but two brief excerpts. Excerpt one:
And excerpt two:
And now you're caught up. Today we'll cover the games of May 15–21, and boy, have I got some bunts for you (as always, courtesy of Inside Edge). We've added a "shift type" for each bunt/bunt attempt this week, so here's a key, courtesy of IE's Kenny Kendrena:
The 1 and 15 shift types are both 3-Infielders on one side of the diamond types of shifts. The only difference between those is that the 15 is where the fielders are non-contiguous (i.e. third baseman in RF).
Got all that? Let's lay it down like the left side is open and Asdrubal's in town.
Date: 5/15
Rizzo beat the shift with a successful bunt against Masahiro Tanaka in April, but his bunting ability had lain dormant for weeks until he caught the Cardinals napping.
Date: 5/15
Surely he'd never be so bold as to try that ag—
Oh. In his next at-bat, Rizzo gets a breaking ball from Wacha, but he bunts it to the left side again and gets the same reward. The Cardinals can't say they weren't warned, and they can't claim to have forgotten what went down in Rizzo's previous at-bat, but they made no adjustment at all, daring him to do it again. Overshifting against Rizzo again worked as well for Mike Matheny as building another Death Star to destroy the Rebels did for Emperor Palpatine.
"First time I've seen a guy beat the shift with a bunt twice in a game," Kendrena says.
Date: 5/17
More like McCann't, amirite? (Seriously, McCann is having a lousy offensive season.)
Date: 5/17
Mitch Moreland squared around once with the shift on earlier this season, but this was the first time he went through with it. Unfortunately, he made a rookie mistake—he bunted against Buerhle, who always finishes in perfect fielding position.
Date: 5/20
Buehrle woulda had it, but Neil Ramirez falls off toward first.
Date: 5/20
Adrian Beltre, ladies and gentlemen. This would have worked out well for Seager against almost any other third baseman. We've learned two important lessons this week: Don't bunt against Buehrle, and don't bunt against Beltre.
Season Totals
Bunt Attempts/Threats
To that effect, here's the latest list of threatened/attempted bunts from the past week that led to fouls or taken balls or strikes. Eventually, we'll have a large enough sample to say something about how often bunt attempts give birth to bunts. —Ben Lindbergh

One thing that might be useful to add to these reports is an indication of the score of the game at the time of the bunt. Tactical moves are always made in context, whether by fielders or by hitter (bunter). Knowing that context will aid in understanding how the anti-shift strategy works in practice.

BASEBALL; ESPN Revisits Tumultuous Time In and Around Yankee Stadium
By RICHARD SANDOMIR
Published: October 26, 2006
The clubhouse at Dodd Stadium was full of actors Tuesday. They were portraying the 1977 Yankees, some in uniform, some in paisleys, double-knits and platform shoes, for an ESPN miniseries. They were supposed to be in Milwaukee in mid-July during the season in which Reggie Jackson designated himself the ''straw that stirs the drink'' on his new team.
Out of the manager's office stepped John Turturro as Billy Martin.
Turturro lost weight to look as frail as Martin did. He wore latex ears to approximate Martin's large, jutting ones. He stood timidly in street clothes and cowboy boots and read a statement in which he denied reports in which a ''prominent Yankee'' said that George Steinbrenner was dictating his lineup and making him miserable.
''I want everyone to know that Mr. Steinbrenner is in no way interferin' with my day-to-day baseball decisions,'' Turturro said in a quiet monotone, his voice tinged with the in-and-out Texas accent that Martin affected. He finished, looking abashed at his capitulation to the power of Steinbrenner, who is still the Yankees' principal owner.
''Who wrote that for you, Billy?'' a reporter said, but Martin ignored him, turned and walked into his office.
Down the corridor, visible in silhouette, stood Oliver Platt, who plays Steinbrenner in ''The Bronx Is Burning,'' an eight-hour adaptation of Jonathan Mahler's 2005 book, ''Ladies and Gentlemen, the Bronx Is Burning,'' an account of the 1977 Yankees. But the book follows several other threads, including a cantankerous brawl of a mayoral race starring the eventual winner, Edward I. Koch; Mario M. Cuomo, a future governor; and a former congresswoman, Bella Abzug; the citywide blackout on July 13 that led to looting in many neighborhoods; and the manhunt for the .44-caliber killer known as the Son of Sam. ESPN will carry the series over eight weeks starting in July.
Platt awaited his moment to stalk into the clubhouse. He is taller and heavier than Steinbrenner; at 46, he is a year younger than Steinbrenner was when the story takes place. Platt's hair, usually parted in the middle, assumes the rigid contour of Steinbrenner's swept coif. His below-the-earlobe sideburns are flecked with gray at their bottoms
He walked slowly out of the shadow. He glowered. Platt raised his voice to a higher pitch and blended it with Steinbrenner's Midwestern inflections. He seethed about the ''prominent Yankee'' who had leaked the story. In reality, it was catcher Thurman Munson, who was angry enough at Steinbrenner to approach two reporters, one of them Steve Jacobson of Newsday, who is a consultant to the miniseries.
''I don't know who did this,'' Platt said -- although Jacobson said that when Steinbrenner addressed the team, he knew it was Munson. Anyone who wears the pinstripes is a ''prominent Yankee,'' Platt said, and concluded, ''This kind of monkey business sullies the character of everyone in this organization.'' He tossed a copy of The Daily News on the floor and walked off.
On the right side of the clubhouse, Erik Jensen, as Munson, with a droopy mustache and tousled hair, looked pained; he knew that confiding in the reporters had placed Martin in a more precarious position.
''Cut,'' said the director, Jeremiah S. Chechik. ''That's good.''
Like most films based on true events, ESPN took liberties. What Turturro said was not from a verbatim account. And Steinbrenner spoke to the players a few days later in a hotel meeting room in Kansas City, Mo., with no reporters present.
Jacobson, who was on the set at Dodd Stadium, said the scene was ''true to the essence'' of Steinbrenner and Martin, although he believed that Steinbrenner would have been more forceful than Platt was.
Ron Semiao, the senior vice president of ESPN Original Entertainment, said, ''We wouldn't have had Steinbrenner address the team if he hadn't.''
One consultant to the project is Graig Nettles, the former third baseman. Another is Fran Healy, the former backup catcher, who recently described to Daniel Sunjata, who plays Jackson, his character's reaction to his tussle with Martin in the visitors' dugout at Fenway Park.
Nettles said he gave a crucial tip to the actor playing Lou Piniella, Mather Zickel.
''Lou had this nervous habit of smelling his hair,'' Nettles said, smiling with the knowledge that their teammates will chuckle when they see Zickel smell his hair.
He told Alex Cranmer, who portrays the young Nettles, ''Don't hurt yourself diving.'' Nettles often flung his body left and right to retrieve ground balls and line drives.
''I never practiced it,'' he said. ''It just happened in a game.''
Jeffrey Maier, the fan who deflected Derek Jeter's fly ball into a home run during Game 1 of the Yankees-Orioles American League Championship Series in 1996 and then played for Wesleyan University, is playing third in the baseball sequences.
ESPN will not rely only on what it shoots at Dodd Stadium, home of the Connecticut Defenders of the Eastern League; it has a 40-hour archive of game action and news footage from the tumult beyond the House That Ruth Built. Close-ups of actors playing the Yankees will be intercut with video, like that of Jackson hitting three home runs in Game 6 of the 1977 World Series.
But the heart of the miniseries will be the power struggles between, and among, Turturro's Martin, Platt's Steinbrenner and Sunjata's Jackson.
Turturro and Platt are not impersonating their characters, but Nettles said the actors had captured their personalities.
''Oliver's got George,'' Nettles said. ''He's got that blusteriness.'' Turturro ''is scary,'' Nettles added. ''Just watching him sit in the dugout -- he's Billy.''
Marty Appel, a former Yankees public-relations director and another consultant to the production, said that when he heard Platt, in character, shout, ''You!'' he jumped with the memory of Steinbrenner's voice.
Turturro has adopted Martin's style: his leanness, his slouch, his habit of placing one, or both hands, in his uniform back pockets, his pugnacity. On Monday night, he re-enacted the incident when Martin blew up at the umpire Bruce Froemming, and was ejected for throwing baseballs on the field, during Game 4 of the 1976 World Series. The actors danced unhappily around each other and Turturro kicked dirt on the actor playing Froemming, even though Martin did not actually do it.
''Billy moved like a cat,'' Turturro said.
Platt, a Red Sox fan, said he had to purge preconceptions about Steinbrenner. He said he admired Steinbrenner's accomplishments and was not playing him as a tyrant.
''I seriously think he never thought of himself as a tyrant,'' he said. ''I'm not trying to candy coat the guy, but I need to understand him.''
Platt added: ''You have to play him small. You can't do a circus-clown version. You want to give him his dignity.''
Turturro views Martin as a street tough from his father's generation, a tragic, riveting character and societal outsider who never found the love or satisfaction he needed.
''He could never love his family like he loved baseball,'' he said, adding that ''George bought him and he broke him.''
Late Tuesday night, Platt was in a luxury box (which doubled as a suite at Royals Stadium) surrounded by well-dressed actors playing Steinbrenner's friends and associates. Nettles stood among them, pretending to watch the Yankees lose Game 3 of the 1977 A.L.C.S. to the Royals. The intention was to collect an array of Steinbrenner's frustrated reactions to Yankees failures.
As extras on the field below enacted pop-ups and double plays, Chechik, the director, asked Platt to stand grimly with his arms folded, stare balefully, turn from the glass window, or walk away. Finally, Platt offered a signature Steinbrenner gesture: Rankled by a Jackson pop-up, he raised his hands and brought them down in an ultimate act of disgust.

CM for the Incredible did work well at the end, but the Thunderbolt has yet to recieve a truly 100% functional AOSP rom. CM 7.1.1 is ok, but its unofficial so you wait months for the changes to move into your build, Liquid Smooth is ... not "smooth" at all for me. Its sad, I dislike MIUI but its what I'm using at the moment because its the most fluid. Tired of all the screen lag on the other AOSP roms.

An excerpt from a letter written in 1976 by Alfred Rustad, Jr.
Humboldt is a small village tucked away in the northwest corner of Minnesota. Most of the early people in this vicinity were either Prince Edward Islanders or Scotch mingling with Swedes, Norwegian and Germans.
Humboldt, was named by James J. Hill, for the German Scientist Baron Alexander Von Humboldt, to honor the German people who invested money in the Great Northern Railroad.
Mr. Hill started a very large farm of 40,000 acres with the main buildings at Norhcote and an auxiliary farm at Humboldt with grain farming being the main crop. Humboldt at one time boasted five elevators.
The first store with a connecting post office was started in 1878. The store in Humboldt carried a fine line of groceries, dry goods, fruit, confectionary, cigars-tobacco, hardware, furniture, a line of farm machinery - with repairs, harness and cow pokes, plus a line of cars. This store also had the first electric system in Kittson County. The large hall above the store was a place for box socials, dances, picture shows, boxing and wrestling. The famed Cal Farley, of Boy's Town, had many of his wrestling matches above the store.
Humboldt had the only bank out of seventeen in Kittson County that did not go broke during the depression of the thirties. Today Humboldt has lost its store and has but one elevator left.
Total population about 100 people.
Humboldt is 70 miles from Winnepeg.
Red Cross Letter to Alfred Rustad, Jr.
Another View
by Rev. Hugh Bell
It's been almost one year since my last "View" so when I received a copy of this enclosed letter I thought it a most opportune time to catch up on correspondence in the Enterprise.
The enclosed letter was sent to Alfred Rustad Jr. "Rusty" 60 years ago this month. For those of us old enough to remember WWII, we remember a time when just about everyone was in the same boat. It was a time of sacrifice and unbelievable hardship. It was also a time of great family support and great national support. Something that perhaps is lacking in the most recent of our wars including the present day battle in Iraq and Afghanistan. WWII was a time when the whole country pulled together for a common good. Today it seems as tho more energy is put into political rhetoric and profit seeking than into freedom in the Middle East. If we could just stop blaming others for our problems, wouldn't it be a wonderful world. Enough sermon, now to Rusty's letter.
Dear Alfred,
It's still two months from Christmas, here, but Old Jack Frost and Old Man Winter have contrived to drop a few hints of the coming season already. We are now having a spell of that famed "October bright blue weather," (which, incidentally, we believe was an exclusive Minnesota invention), with days between blown in by a cold north wind that sweeps down the streets like Old Man Winter himself. Always the old familiar signs of the fall season are at hand. St. Vincent held its annual fair; the ladies of Humboldt are making pies and frying chickens for the fall church supper; one sees "brown wigwams of corn shocks," as one writer aptly puts it; storm windows are beginning to appear; Ikey Diamond is hauling wood and coal, and Rev. Wagner, who is as good a carpenter as you'll find anywhere is making the open air front porch of the parsonage winter tight by installing glass windows.
Duck hunting season is in full swing; the only thing that stumps the hunters is, "Where are the ducks?"
A goodly number has been reported seen "way out east in the swamps, but northeast of town where Johnny Easter and Bill Sylvester sat waiting for the fowl the other day, all they spotted was a pelican, cavorting among the decoys, having the time of his life. Several deer spent the summer in the brush near Levi Diamond's farm. They were so tame they pastured with the cattle and ate up most of "Tootsie's" garden. One morning on his way to work, Cliff's Ford had a race with a doe and her fawn near Carl Gatheridge's farm, right on the highway. Who won, Cliff?
Harvest has been awfully !ate this year, thanks to the heavy rains right smack in the middle of the threshing season. In fact, some farmers are still combining their wheat or flax, but the weather is finally getting too cold even for the mosquitoes.
Every year it changes, of course-even in Humboldt. Some of the population has moved to that great metropolis, Hallock, namely; "Bub" and Mrs. Reese, the Henry Gatheridges and Carl Wieses, and oh yes, Ben Matthews and his "little woman." Mrs. Hilda Easter moved this fall to St. Vincent, as did the Ted Meyer family. Ben and his "little ile station" had become almost a permanent fixture in town, or so we thought; but Ben had an auction sale this summer at which he offered for sale sundry items including beds, tables, chairs, dishes, stoves and various other items too numerous (and too ancient) to mention. R.L. Kempf bought a highchair. Nope, no more boys -- this time it's for the grandchildren! (Overheard at the sale, "What are you going to do with all that junk, Roy?") Meanwhile, Wilmer Maxwell has taken over the filling station. Don Brown joins the rank of armed forces Oct. 15, while wife Marian and kiddies sojourn at her home in Embarrass for the duration. Jim Bell received his "Greetings" this month too. Fidelis Tri Wolters' house looks poised ready to take flight at any moment. Its been up on stilts for some time now, ready to be moved to Orleans.
Even though the population seems to have been decreased by the above exodus, such is really not the case. the stork brought several new arrivals to these homes during the past year: to Walter Loers and the Billy Gatheridges, boys, and to Wilbert Hemmes' and the Bob Schantees, girls. The first girl in the Kempf family in half a century was born at Eau Claire to Sgt. and Mrs. Emral. The Leslie Reeses have a baby Louise on the West coast. Lt. and Mrs. Warren Matthew also have a new girl. Kalvin Sylvester, honorably discharged from the army, is the daddy of a 10 pound baby boy. Boy!
George Finneys have moved into Vida Knowlton's house, swelling the population by five. Eldon Turners, who now have the town milk route, have moved into the old Balderston cafe. Joe Diamond and his wife came back from San Diego this summer. Mrs. Diamond is home again after being very ill at the hospital for several months. And here's proof that the population must have picked up! Humboldt has three grade teachers again this year, Miss Sanner, Miss Swanson, and Miss Gunnarson, all from the Lake Bronson-Kennedy district. They board and room at Virgil Bockwitz'.
Now for news of the young fry. Fourteen kids are transported to Hallock to high school by Garfield Easter in the big yellow bus. Green frosh are George and Donald Easter, Billy Easton, and Lucille Diamond. By the way, Mr. Tri is teaching math in Hallock this year, so the Humboldt kids feel right at home in that class. Kay Miller and Ruth Matthew are cadet nurses now, and expect to be placed in army base hospitals in December. Sarah Baldwin enrolls as a cadet nurse this month. Margaret James is at St. Cloud T.C., Henrietta Tri at Moorhead training to be a teacher. Doris Reese is employed at the Hallock AAA office. Alyce Easter is a medical technician at Litchfield Hospital (she sticks needles into her victims!); Dennis Matthews plans to be a telegraph operator, and will train in Grand Forks. Jane Matthew Hayes is teaching in Park Rapids; Margaret Knowlton Fuhraman is in Miami with husband Lt. Bill; Gwen Easter Vowles, back from California, is here at home while Ens. Vowles trains in amphib. on the West coast. Dorothy Sylvester is working in Washington state; Anna Marie Whalen (Merck) was employed in the Noyes depot till very recently, and is now in Grand Forks. Einar Rustad came back from his defense job in Washington to help his dad with the harvest.
At the present time Humboldt is without a cafe and cream station. Mr. Patchin passed away this summer, and Mrs. patchin moves out this week. We sure miss a Good coke n'coffee place--treats from the "old fleabit," Harry Clow, have noticeably fallen off. He's still the best newspaper Humboldt ever had, though. Mrs. Gill is keeping house up there now.
After holding church services in the church hall for several Sundays, the redecoration in the church was finished and the furniture moved back in by Oct. 1. Both the interior and exterior look mighty fresh and clean since Bill Sylvester wielded his brush. And you should have seen the women struggling with the sander as they cleaned and scraped the floor till they lost count of the sandpaper they cut for the darn machine. The shiny floor credits their efforts, though.
Jack Bell was a war casualty of this past year. He was killed when his plane was shot down in the South pacific.
Swish! Bang-bang! Put-put-put put! x@**·x !blankety-blank--"Hey Charlie, get off and give this crate a push, will ya?" Don't get excited-it's only Bobby Miller on his new reconditioned (1930 vintage) motorcycle. The vibration experienced by the rider when the things speeds up to 20 m.p.h. must be terrific.
Surprise marriage of the year! Ruth McEwen hopped a bus to Oklahoma and married Sgt. Lloyd Moose of Donaldson. She is back at her job in the Treasurer's office at Hallock, having survived such quips as, "So you got your moose out of season?" and "Sure you had a hunting license?" Vera Gatheridge was married at Hallock to Donald Laude, and Luverne Stewart and Warren Swan tied the nuptial knot on the East coast this summer. Marine Sgt. Robert Clow, who recently spent his furlough here, married a little southern gal from deep down in Carolina.

Fire trucks aren't available now, however. Rev. Engelbretson is still on the "mending list" after her long illness. She is slowly but surely gaining complete use of her left arm again . . . . . . John Fink, recently depot agent here, moved to Manvil, (did you know they had adopted a little boy), and Warren Isley took over his job here. While Warren divides his time between the Humboldt and Noyes depots, wife Velma takes over depot duties here. Incidentally, the depot was recently completely redecorated, and the old iron pot-bellied stove that used to glow with a red-hot heat on those stormy winter nights is no more. A modern heater has replaced it ...... Mrs. Hare fell while in Libby, Mont., and broke her hip. She is at home again now. Somewhat improved . . . . . . . Grandma Matthew has the best kept yard in town. Her summer flowers were numerous and beautiful, and this week she is having her comfortable home repainted ........ In Shinnston, W. Va., Art and Esther Sylvester had a harrowing experience when a tornado struck within three blocks of them this summer. They assisted with the rescue work and clearing up the debris. Don Griffen, who was in an army camp near there at the time, had the pleasure of seeing his sergeant being disrespectfully picked up off his feet and set down elsewhere ....... Since bears are noted for their strong affinity for honey, Prof Tri's bees have come in for some meddling. A bear hunting expedition in the dark of the night composed of Don Brown, Quintin, "Jelly" Smith, Art Borneman, Tom MoIley, and game warden Alfred Blid promised to be a success until Art suddenly gave out with a loud sneeze. That, along with the unquotable imprecations that followed, served to scare the bear away for that night. P.S. How Art got away without a few rifle shots in him we'll never know. To quote D.B. "If ever I wanted to shoot anybody ....!" Could the presence of the game warden have saved him!

Good afternoon everyone,
Need some advice! I've been working in a architecture environment for 2 yrs and for many reason Ive grown to hate the design orientation of construction and producing design development & construction documents. While in school I worked for a subcontractor and I now realize that I loved it and my personality was meant to work in the construction management field. I've been applying to many positions and lucky enough i have landed interviews but I have gotten the same negative feedback that i do not have enough project management experience, excel experience, timberline experience, primavera experience etc…….. I've even got a response telling me I have too much AutoCAD and Revit experience (Intern Architects would love this problem).
Basically I want to become a Construction Project Manager without going back to school for Civil Engineering or for a Bachelors in Construction Management. I also want to obtain IDP credits into construction management. Still want to become a license architect. Any advice?
I recently made the same switch to CM/GC. The advice I would give you is do anything that you can to play up any experience you have on a site, such as punchlist work, site visits, etc. I also framed houses during my summers in college which helped me some, but basically emphasize any ways in which your arch experience will help you learn quickly. I also bought some basic books on construction management and read them which were helpful. I would also put some time in learning at least Excel and Microsoft Project.
Once you jump into a few projects, you can learn very quickly. It can be very exciting but there is also a lot of paperwork involved. My advice is look for any positions that will give experience both on site and with the scheduling financial aspects of the project. Most entry-level/lower-level positions will fit in with this criteria, you will basically work between the PM and the superintendent.
Thanks Nice I have also done hands-on construction work... Ive been applying to Assistant-Junior PM positions and even entry estimator position. I know there's a lot of paper work (to me it beats choosing crown moulding). What position did you land and what positions would you recommend that I apply to get my foot in the door to eventually become a CM?
I am an Assistant PM and I got to see my first project all the way through from submittals to now doing closeouts and punchlist work. I would go for Assistant PM or Project Engineer positions, you will get a mixture of experiences on site and in the office. Estimating is a little different, not much site work and not really for me from what I can see. The best advice I can give is spend as much time on site early on as possible. That way you see everything come together in front of you and you really learn how a construction site works. If you don't understand something fully, don't be scared to ask a question. Talking to sub contractors about their work allows me to learn a great deal about a large variety of trades.
Can I PM you with a few questions regarding your APM position?
Nice - my PM got bounced back to me in an email. Can you confirm if it made it through to you? Thanks.
My apologies, my account was linked to an old email address, I just switched it yesterday. Do you mind sending it again?
Are you sure you want to block this user and hide all related comments throughout the site?

Groundhog Day
Sat, 02 Nov 2013 03:54:27 GMT —
Call this football's version of Groundhog Day.
Unfortunately for the Jefferson City Jays, there won't be another chance.
This won't be a best two-out-of-three.
Playing for the second straight Friday night, the Rock Bridge Bruins got even and more --- much more --- as they rolled to a 48-18 devastation of the Jays in the Class 6 District 3 opener at Adkins Stadium.
Same teams, very different results. And a season-ending result for the ninth-ranked Jays (6-4).
"People asked me if playing two straight times would help us or hurt us," Jays coach Ted LePage said. "I think it hurt us, because they saw last week they were bigger and stronger than we were and they used that to their advantage tonight.
"They just imposed their will."
A week earlier, the Jays scored in the first quarter in a wire-to-wire 31-21 win in Columbia.
Friday night, the Bruins scored 2 1/2 minutes into the game and were never headed. And the Bruins did it without starting quarterback Logan Twehous (shoulder injury), who's passed for an eye-popping 2,591 yards and 29 touchdowns this season, and leading rusher Eli Stout.
Instead of using a pass-happy attack (38 attempts last week, 10 this week), the Bruins used the Wildcat formation and racked up 432 total yards of offense.
The Bruins (5-5) had lost four straight and five of six, after climbing to No. 2 in the state after their 3-0 start. Perhaps they should have used the Wildcat all along.
They took the opening kickoff and strolled 80 yards in six plays, with Tarus Moore rushing for 36 yards on the first three plays, before Hayden Johnson tossed a 38-yard touchdown strike to Zach Reuter.
That play kick-started a huge night by Johnson (he's listed as a 6-3, 215-pound tight end), who rushed for three touchdowns and passed for two scores.
The Bruins led 7-3 after one quarter and 28-10 at the half, before the Jays fired their final salvo of the game --- and the season --- to open the second half.
It was a 71-yard, 14-play drive, capped on a 3-yard run by Gabe Marcantonio, who also converted the two-point run to make it somewhat interesting at 28-18 less than four minutes in the second half. (The Jays' points before the break came on a 6-yard run by Denzel Wilson and a 28-yard field goal by Marcantonio.)
But after the eight-point play by Marcantonio --- who rushed for 91 yards and threw for 122 --- the Bruins pulled away with a bang, scoring three touchdowns in the fourth quarter to win by 30.
The Bruins --- who held a 432-320 edge in total yards --- completed just four passes on 10 attempts. Not that impressive, eh?
Those four completions covered 207 yards and produced four touchdowns, including a 71-yard catch and run from back-up QB Karson Ringdahl to Alex Ofodile, son of the head coach.
"They have two big receivers on the outside and when you put your cornerbacks on an island, that's what can happen," LePage said. "All you have to do is throw it up and they'll go get it."
Rock Bridge will play next Friday at Francis Howell Central (7-3), which was a 24-17 winner over Hickman.
Meanwhile, the state-championship drought will now be at least 17 years for the Jays, after the program won nine titles in 19 years from 1976-94, and 10 in 22 years with the championship in 1997.
This season, however, was a success, LePage insists.
"Of all the teams I've coached, I think this one overachieved more than any of them," LePage said. "They're going to look back on this year and be proud of what they accomplished, because they beat some really good football teams.
"They played hard and they were a fun team to coach. They did everything we could have expected."
And there's this:
"We won at every level --- the freshman team was 7-1, the JV/sophomore teams went 11-1," LePage said. "And we were 6-4 at the varsity level with a really young team. They got better every week and you don't normally see that.
"I feel bad for the (14) seniors because they gave it everything they had. They played their butts off this year and I'm proud of them."
Still, for those still clinging to the past ... it won't ever be the same. Not easy for fans to accept, but it is the reality.
It was decades of brilliance that just can't be duplicated.
For Pete's sake, there are no more Groundhog Days.

LAHORE, March 22: Pakistan Muslim League-N President Nawaz Sharif on Friday made over 3,000 party ticket-seekers to commit themselves for working for eradicating corruption from the country.
It replicated the scene when at the same place Mr Sharif had administered oath to his party's hopefuls before the 2008 general election wherein the candidates had promised to work for the restoration of the judges former army ruler Pervez Musharraf had removed in a 'mini martial law' on Nov 3, 2007.
Speaking on the occasion, the PML-N president assured that those left out in the race for the general election would be given a chance in the local body polls.
In an indirect reference to PTI's slogan of change, the former prime minister said the country needed a mature leadership and said those who had done nothing (for the nation) were now talking of a change.
He said the green passport lost its respect because of policies adopted by the Musharraf regime, while the country was pushed into darkness of loadshedding during the PPP government.
He lamented that helicopters of a foreign force attacked Abbotabad and a report of the commission formed to probe the incident was not made public.
In fact, he said, no report into any of the tragedies the country faced saw the light of day.
Referring to development works the PML-N government undertook in Punjab, he promised if voted to power, his party would extend the motorway up to Karachi, build an underground mass transit system in the port city and introduce bullet trains.
He also said at least 50,000MW power would be generated to meet all energy needs for future.

Members of Rowde Village Shop committee are calling on locals to support its participation in a recycling collection contest.
The shop is taking part in the Wrappers to Riches scheme set up by McVitie's and TerraCycle to reduce the number of wrappers being sent to landfill.
The shop will earn points for the weight of each biscuit wrapper of any brand they send in for recycling and each point can be redeemed for a 1p contribution to a good cause.
It has taken part in the McVitie's Biscuit Wrapper Brigade scheme since last year and so far has collected 864 wrappers. Also collected are used pens, some brands of empty yoghurt pots and old mobile phones.
Veronica Seedhouse, the shop manager, said: "Through TerraCycle's recycling fundraising schemes we have saved 1,953 pieces of waste from landfill raising £76.92.
"All the money raised helps to fund the running of the shop which is a community enterprise and a vital resource for local people."
The scheme aims to reduce the billions of wrappers being sent to UK landfill as a result of most local councils being unable to recycle the mixed plastic packaging biscuit wrappers are comprised of.
So far, McVitie's Biscuit Wrapper Brigade participants across the UK have saved over 190,000 waste biscuit wrappers from landfill raising over £6,000 for UK schools, charities and non-profit organisations.

South Korean architect Sae Min Oh of Gangnam-based bang by min emerging design group has sent us photographs of H-House, his award-winning residential building in Seoul's Seongbuk-dong neighborhood. The project was awarded the 30th Seoul Architecture Prize as well as the Korea Interior Design Best Awards in 2012. — bustler.net
that's pretty damn tasty! the board form and smooth concrete, the wood siding, nice landscape .. does the 'H' stand for 'HOTT'?
my only complaint would be with the 4th to last photo where the floor bends up to apparently become a seating area. are you kidding me with those bookshelves? you can only fit like 10 books and certainly no fancy oversized architectural books! maybe there are shelves elsewhere in the room but that chair/shelf area doesn't look as nicely resolved as the rest of the house.

In today's WWE SmackDown live event, the WWE World Champion, Dean Ambrose gave a tough fight with The Lone Wolf Baron Corbin.
In between, AJ Styles entered the stage and joined with the commentary team. Ambrose fought fiercely with the Lone Wolf and he took off him out of the ring to the announcement territory, where Styles was present.
WWE SmackDown Live: Dean Ambrose vs. Baron Corbin HD Photos
Baron Corbin faced Styles head-to-head and he was taken down by Ambrose by a sudden attack.
Styles was unable to withstand the heat and gets himself involved in the match. That might be a trick. The Lone Wolf won the match on the basis of disqualification ground.
While Corbin won the match, Styles and Ambrose started to battle where Styles put in a precarious position over the ropes.
Will Ambrose retain the WWE Word Championship title in the Backlash 2016 PPV event that will take place on the 11th of September.
You don't have to wait any longer, it's a couple of weeks ahead. Audience instinct says Dean Ambrose will retain the title.

Alan, did you migrate between operating systems (i.e. PC to Mac) or within the same family when you up-graded to a new computer?
KenYes, this has been bothering quite a bit, actually. As you say, if a CD fails, I am stuffed (although there are two copies of each picture, one TIFF and one RAW, on separate CDs). I did a bit of destruction testing on a CD-R (boiling, freezing, exposure to direct sunlight) and it was still readable, so I was hoping for the best, really. The other idea I was thinking of was making more safety copies on SD cards, but I don't know anything about their archival properties either.John
I would strongly suggest having backups somewhere on some other medium: Hard disks, online, DVD. CDs deteriorate over time, generally in much less time than advertised. At the very least do some regular spot checking on the oldest ones of each make of CD. Some makes of CDs tend to last for a while then start failing quickly, so if you don't notice it early, you have a risk of losing both copies. I worked in digital archiving for a while, and CD longevity is somewhat of a horror story.-Lars
And compounded on this, I've heard, right or wrong I don't know - that most brands of DVD writeables have greater deterioration risk than do CD writeables. I keep anything important on two external hard drives or one non-system internal and one external. That way, the risk is limited to *simultaneous* failure or theft/damage. Safer yet would be yet a third back-up outside the premiises with an external service.
. . . all the more reason to get them onto hard drives ASAP and teach those folks how to plug a hard-drive into a USB port and migrate to the images. As you and I know, it's no more difficult than inserting a CD into a tray.
I think cloud storage will be the way to go in the long run, once storage prices get a little lower. Even now I think it's affordable enough for your most important images.
Indeed, you are absolutely correct. However, my thought is whether a USB hard-drive which had been kept in a cupboard for fifteen or twenty years (which is the way a museum would likely deal with it) would have any better chance of being readable if you were to pull it out, plug it in and hope for the best in 2030, say. Glad you liked the photos, by the way.I'm not at all sure if this is an appropriate place to post this, but as we are talking about archiving . . . I took the opportunity here at work yesterday to check through our CDR archive (which is not a primary one but a sort of belt-and-braces security which is stored in a fire-proof safe). We started with this in 1997 (but gave up on it in 2005 when we got corporate securities), so it might be of some interest. The data is a mix of photos, scans, data sets and documents. It's a pretty small sample, too.Anyhow, here are the results:Total CDRs checked: 26The oldest: 1997 (a 13 year old Sony) checked OKTen years old or more: 14 (1999-2000). 12 checked OK, two failed (both stationary suppliers own-brand CDRs). The 12 readable CDs were all Verbatim.Five to Nine years old: 11 (2001-2005). All 11 checked OK, a mix of Verbatim, Sony, and one Maxell.So from the 26 checked spanning a period from 1997 to 2005 two failed, but both were no-name CDs from a stationary supplier. All the quality branded CDs were readable and a random selection of files was loaded from each one without problem. So the implication of that seems to be that top-branded CDRs are probably good for ten years at least in reasonable storage conditions. Avoid cheap no-name or store's own brands like the plague.John
Here in Cornwall neither our county museum nor the record office will accept digital media for deposition into their archives. And until the IT industry comes up with a truly archival media which can be stored on a shelf for at least 50 years and be guaranteed readable that will probably remain the case.John
And until the IT industry comes up with a truly archival media which can be stored on a shelf for at least 50 years and be guaranteed readable that will probably remain the case.
Hmm. Well it's not really that the Museum, at any rate, has its head in the sand. The sad fact is that they are always short of cash, chronically short-staffed, and have very little IT expertise. If you give them a book, they can catalogue it, put it on a shelf in the stacks of the Courtenay Library, and the job is done. What are they supposed to do with your 1.5 TB hard drive? How is a member of the public going to look at it?John
Perhaps. But upload speeds as well as cost mean it's still some way away for more than a few images.
Even then, remember when Digital Railroad collapsed and the problems some people had retrieving their work? Trust a vendor in the cloud?
Something which looks quite interesting would be the SSD drives, using flash memory. They have no moving parts, need no power supply, and if written to just once for archival purposes theoretically should be just what we need. However, I can find no information regarding their temporal lifespan. Does anyone have information or experience with SSD?John

Ghana's 2001 best dance champion, Edward Akuffo Bampoe-Addo aka Paa T, is set to make waves in the francophone music market.
The dance champion, who has also moved into the music industry, following in the footsteps of dance icons like Slim Buster, is about to move his music talent to the shores of the francophone countries.
According to him, his songs and professional performances were accepted more in the francophone scene than most of the Anglophone countries.
His current hit track titled ' African Dancer Number One', which is on the album titled ' Momo' , which has so far enjoyed massive airplay on major radio and television stations, is making inroads into the francophone market.
His title track, ' Number One' is sang mainly in French, Yoruba and English, having featured Nigerian song-star Joe B who performed a beautiful rap rendition in Yoruba and King Palmer of Ghana who also sang the Ga part of the song.
After winning the 2001 dance championship organized by Media Whizz Kidz, Paa Tee has since featured in many productions and also in many adverts where he has always portrayed the character of a hilarious dancer.
In 2010, he won the ECRAG Free Stye Dancer . According to him, he was currently pushing his skills into the francophone market to make his works known there too.
He hinted that come July 2012, he would be performing with some Ghanaian artistes in Paris, France, to both his Ghanaian and French fans there.
The event, which is being organized by Kofi Okoto Productions and RAM Media Concepts, is expected to give first class Ghanaian entertainment to Ghanaian residents and lovers of African music in France.
When contacted, the CEO/Event Coordinator of Kofi Okoto Productions, Augustine Mark, confirmed the schedule of the concert in Paris. He hinted that other artistes such as Screw Faze, King Ayisoba and Eduwodzi had also been billed for the July 14 2012 event.
Paa T, as he is popularly known, has performed on various international platforms in Europe. His last performance was at an international trade fair in Madrid, where he performed with Mr. Bean on various platforms to entertain the audience. Locally, he has given a lot of dance lessons and was even instrumental in the Google Dance in Ghana.

Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow Review
Player(s): 1-8
Memory: 624 KB
Wi-Fi Compatibility: Ad Hoc, Infrastructure
Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow is the follow up to last year's Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror that ushered in a new camera and control system for the Syphon Filter series in order to fit the PSP control setup. Dark Mirror was received with much praise and helped to showcase the way a third person action game should be controlled with the lack of a right analog. Now, Logan's Shadow improves upon that gameplay by adding new features that make the overall control scheme feel even better.
Gabe Logan once again finds himself thrown into another terrorist situation, only this time out in the middle of the ocean, while his partner Lian Xing is on vacation. He sweeps through a tanker in order to keep terrorists from getting their hands on an item in a certain cargo hold that government officials will not reveal the content of. Later Gabe returns to base only to find that his partner Lian Xing is not on vacation, but she is on the run, accused of being a double agent. Gabe and his crew set out on a mission to search for Lian and find out exactly what she is doing.
The overall story of Logan's Shadow takes just as many twists and turns as Dark Mirror. Basically, no one is to be trusted. It has some rather surprising turn of events at times and one hell of a cliffhanger ending. The single player portion of the game carries on with the same action gameplay that Dark Mirror upgraded and this time Gabe has a few new abilities.
Gabe now has a new grab move where he can grab an enemy that gets close to him and use that enemy as a shield while aiming at others. This is really useful for when an enemy decides to run up and try to shoot you from your hiding spot - instead of having to quickly aim at him, you can now just grab him and use him as a temporary cover shield while aiming at other enemies. A gauge will appear in the upper right hand corner of the screen that displays how much the enemy is struggling. Once it fills then the enemy will break free, but you can always kill the enemy by simply pressing down on the D-pad and pressing the appropriate button that appears on the QTE (Quick Time Event) afterward.
Speaking of QTE's, Logan's Shadow incorporates many of them throughout the course of the game. Many of them are not included in cutscenes however, they are mainly used to perform a specific action while Gabe tries to lift an object or force an object into place. They are usually few and far between.
Blind fire can now be used while taking cover behind a wall or crate. Press the fire button to make Gabe stick his arms out and fire his gun to the side or overhead. There is no targeting cursor while performing this but it has a chance of hitting an enemy. Blind fire is mainly used for distracting the enemy so Gabe can quickly move to another area while enemies hide from the gunfire.
Like a multitude of other shooters, explosive canisters have now been placed in the background and can be shot in order to take down several enemies at once. One noticeable aspect of this feature is that most of the time enemies do not even try to run or take any kind of cover while a flame-spewing canister rolls behind them ready to explode. The enemies will run from a grenade, but usually not from a canister.

The word "it" allows us (she and I) to distance ourselves from a decision we were very much a part of. Maybe a part of — in my case. Who knows?
On the contrary, the American people — 90 percent-plus — believe in God. We just don't believe in religion, and we, like our deistic founding leaders, don't trust the clergy — any clergy. We are not shutting God out of our lives as Tibor claims. Horsefeathers! It's the evangelical religion of today — heterodoxy — that our founders abhorred.
Next, the question of pledging to each other our lives. Come on, man. We, especially Republicans, won't even take care of our returning warriors who served so well. My gut tells me Tibor has never served the USA like I did or my son.
Our founders invented a secular, largely Lockean Constitution and adopted it with no mention of God or our past. In fact, citizenship is not based upon any religious belief, inessential baggage as they viewed "it."
Low church attendance has nothing to do with government, but we as a people are getting closer to making government secular as our founders intended.
Mammon has replaced Apollo in the conservative pantheon. And this is not a recent thing. Our founders who lived into the next century — Washington, Jefferson, John Adams, Rush — were very disillusioned that the country had become "so capitalistic, so moneymaking, so vulgar." (Gordon Wood)
How can Tibor claim that God helped us win World War II? Is his claim based on the fact that FDR asked God for help? Winning is proof of God's help? Rubbish!
I found two lies in Tibor's tripe. First, there are not "300,000 similar procedures" per year like Dr. Kermit Gosnell's later-term abortions. (He was liked by neither dog in this fight — pro-life or pro-choice.)
Second, President Obama has supported veterans like no president in recent memory, especially George W. Bush. Republicans have opposed Obama on almost everything he has tried to do for veterans.
One would like to think that God was on our side against Hitler or the terrorists, because they were/are wrong and we are in the right, and any deity worth his salt would be able to discern that objective truth. But this is simply good-hearted arrogance cloaked in morality.
Does God micromanage the universe for the advantage of particular believers?
B.J. Paschal

Several major hospitals in India have sought permission to launch helicopter emergency medical services (EMS), Indian news Web site The Hindu reported last month. They have applied to the DGCA, the country's civil aviation authority, which has not yet made a decision. Among the hospitals' request was permission to build rooftop helipads. The DGCA answered it already had issued guidelines for developing helicopter EMS infrastructure and underscored its concerns about noise.

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
I have sudden episodic numbness / weakness all over, esp my legs and arms (and sometimes pressure head and chest) BEFORE bowel movement and then it's relieved... this has been going on for a month ever since I had a long lung infection.. I've had tests run, heart checked, blood work, ultrasound abdomen and pelvic -- all normal.
I've had heart tests, blood work, stomach and pelvic ultrasound, and saw a rheumatologist. All came back normal.
I have not yet seen a neurologist but that might be the next step.
The episodes are getting better. About a month ago, my knees would get so wobbly it would be hard to walk, now they're just heavy and I have them once a day or every other day.
Rheumatologist seems to think it's because I had a lung infection fro 2 months and was on 3-4 rounds of antibiotics.
My GI doc had no clue. Didn't do any tests. Said I needed to do a colonoscopy which I haven't done yet.
I've never had anything like this, corresponding to BMs.
I only have a family doctor right now who can refer me to a neurologist OR should I find a good internal medicine doctor who could order these tests? Thank you.
What are quinalones? I was on a ton of inhalers, nebulizers, and antibiotics. I was otherwise totally healthy before this. I am female, 45 years old.
I was on Levofloxacin but I had symptoms before I was on it. Before that was Clindamyacin and Doxycycline plus all the inhalers, nebulizers, and Prednisone which was awful. I've been off those for 2 months and off Levofloxacin for 1 month.
Thank you!
Do I need a brain MRI or just the lower spine?
What is a "physical medicine doctor"?
Could Doxy cause this because it seemed to start when taking that... (or Prednisone) but I've been off them for 2 months...
Thanks for your help!
The last one I was on was Levofloxicin but I had the symptoms for 1 month before starting Levo. What about Pulmicort? Flovent? Levalbuterol and albuterol? Could they cause this. Also Dulera inhaler -- seemed to correspond to one of those, I quit taking them.
My concern is that it was somehow caused by the "lung infection." Seems unlikely. I don't know. GI doc said might be possible that I have no good bacteria in my stomach and to take probiotics. Seems doubtful that would cause this, what's your opinion?
Should I start with neurologist or Physical Medicine/rehabilitation? Thank you very much!
Thanks! If Levo caused this or contributed to it -- will it go away? How long will it take? Thanks,

Toilet water drinking in cats and dogs.
Many dogs and cats love to drink from the toilet. Thirsty dogs and cats lap up the water with vigor simply because it is cool and accessible. It's much easier for the pet …

My sweet Guinness came into my life on February 28, 1995 when I adopted her from the Humane Society. I always wanted a dog my whole life, and finally, now that I was grown and on my own, it was time to fulful my dream of having my own dog. We had so much fun together! We went to obedience classes (I was a first-time dog owner and needed that) and eventually she got her CGC certificate. She was my dog, my daughter, my best friend; it broke my heart to see her slowly get old. Tragically, back in October 2008, she was really having a hard time walking and didn't want to eat. Her glands were all swollen and the vet said it was lymphatic cancer. I tried so hard to prepare myself for that day, but I was far from ready for the experience of watching such an important part of myself slip away. We took our last walk along the paths where we had played for 14 years. She died on a beautiful sunny Indian Summer day - in my arms and with Daddy kissing her head. I love you Guinness. Miss you.
Love, Mommy

It seems that lots of times, Art works better with Froggy if there is a purpose beyond the creation of something. This unit of our Hebrew study is Parts of the Body. So we made a Froggy and labeled her.
Froggy lay down on the craft paper while I traced around her. I drew a face on her because I wanted to be sure all the parts of the face would be identifiable for labeling.
Then it was Froggy's job to give her clothes as I labeled body parts. Froggy wanted nothing to do with it whatsoever while it was on the floor. I managed to convince her to add some hair.
But once I hung it on the wall and gave her paint pens rather than markers she was willing to do some independently.
She went back and traced her work with the paint pen still in her hand creating a neat double image effect.
I am hoping that as the unit continues she will add more to the artwork as I add more labels to girl.

From Infestation to Inspiration
Homeowner Joan Gerstein battled a rodent infestation for months before she called a professional to help her handle the problem. The ordeal inspired four poems.
Joan Gerstein, of Oceanside, Calif., has been writing poetry since she was a child. A retired school teacher, Gerstein has been published in a number of local periodicals throughout San Diego County, and writes when inspiration strikes.
Recently, inspiration came in the form of a very frustrating rodent infestation. "I went on vacation for two weeks last fall, and in my absence, mice set up residence in my home," Gerstein said. "I tried everything for seven months and finally called an exterminator. He finished things off, and I am mice free. The poems were the only fun thing that came out of this awful problem."
What follows are four poems Gerstein penned as a result of her unwelcome house guests:
Poems by Joan Gerstein
"Home Invasion"
Little black specks were easy to ignore
when first seen on the counter and the floor.
But as they multiplied, I had to surmise
nature had gifted me mice as a prize
For my slovenly housekeeping.
I soon discovered they were everywhere:
under the sink, in a drawer, on a chair.
For penance I scrubbed and scoured my house
Then went about to catch each evil mouse
with language suitable for bleeping.
In suspicious corners I lodged the traps.
My hungry rodents needed no roadmaps
to a counter where I placed some peaches.
I'd show the vermin what stealing teaches:
death when they do their nocturnal creeping.
In the morning I found two little mice
stuck to my rodent-catching device.
In horror I saw what my hands had done.
Removing these animals was no fun.
It actually set my eyes to weeping.
I had to leave those remaining mice free,
keep them in one location I could see.
So near their hole I will carefully set
tasty treats they can easily get,
my belated offering of peacekeeping.
"More Than One in My House"
It doesn't work — they just want more and more,
but I'm not a rodent convenience store.
They taste my veggies, nibble the fruit.
My previous peace treaty is now moot.
The mice gnaw holes in the dog food bags.
I clean up their poop with vacuum and rags.
But by next morn' there's dozens more
in drawers, on counters, especially the floor.
They've supped on pasta, grains and brown rice.
No more will I be tolerant or nice.
Throughout the kitchen I've set multiple traps.
They'll get their payback when we take our naps.
Death! I declare war on the vermin today.
I've tried to be kind yet there's no other way.
They'll no longer use my house for their forage.
It's me, not the mice, who pays the mortgage.
"Rodent Redux"
I'm on the warpath with weapons I wield,
so my halcyon home's a killing field.
I've destroyed forty-eight little creatures
with snake-like tails and ugly features.
A little mouse wife and her little mouse man
bred every three weeks to produce a clan
of mice of every shape and size,
with gray-brown fur and beady eyes.
Each time I destroy perhaps two or three,
for days no new black poops do I see.
I pray they are all truly deceased
until I see evidence of a new beast
that has taken chunks from a peach, a plum,
a ripe tomato, even a dog food crumb.
Again I set out multiple traps
to kill the mice and then play taps.
Finally my house feels peaceful and calm,
the mice have all gone to the great beyond.
I must now enjoy the time where I dwell
because when I die I'll burn in hell.
"Mice, The Final Chapter"
In every closet and all the drawers,
on multiple shelves and corners of floors,
I placed different kinds of rodent traps:
pads of sticky goo and the one that snaps
when the creatures reach for peanut butter.
I put poison in my pantry clutter,
behind the toilet where I found mouse poop,
under the kitchen sink in a group.
I planted snares of every device
and week after week I killed many mice.
For each dozen that met their demise
offspring of ten or twenty would arise
to establish residence in my house
and thwart attempts to kill every louse.
After eight months I admit defeat.
I can't make my home hygienic and neat.
Since they won't leave and neither will I,
there's only one thing left I can try —
today I'll call an exterminator.
Let someone else be the decimator.

Conor McGregor called for the reinstatement of his previously scheduled rematch with Nate Diaz in an Instagram post on Sunday.
"Nobody gives a f--- about these other fights until this one is settled," McGregor wrote in the caption of a video of him fighting Diaz in March. "Cut the bulls---. Run it back. #RealFight."
McGregor was removed from UFC 200, in which his fight with Diaz was scheduled to be the main event, after he failed to appear at a mandatory press conference.

Re "Eco-activist says guilty verdict was a symbol of flawed system" (Tribune, April 24):
Tim DeChristopher disrupted a federal auction of questionable oil and gas leases to help protect the environment and our national parks, but he ended up making a bigger statement about our unfair justice system, especially in the case of eccentric U.S. District Judge Dee Benson, who sentenced DeChristopher more for his attitude than his acts.
I doubt DeChristopher can change the system, but by continuing to put the heat on Benson, maybe the judge will think twice about making biased rulings in the future. Anyway, one can only hope.

'Good Samaritan' shot trying to help stranded motorist, deputies say
CALDWELL, Idaho (KBOI) -- Sheriff's deputies in Canyon County say it appears a "Good Samaritan" was shot when he stopped to help a stranded motorist north of Caldwell early Thursday morning.
The Canyon County Sheriff's Office says the 39-year-old man was transported to the hospital and is in stable condition.
The man, whose name has not been released, was able to call for help with his cell phone and told deputies he was shot after he stopped to help the motorist in a silver truck just after 2 a.m. Thursday at the remote intersection of Farmway and Mink Roads.
Officials say it's unclear whether the apparently stranded motorist shot the man or a third party was involved.
Deputies are investigating and looking for the driver of the silver truck.
Anyone with information about the shooting or who may have witnessed suspicious activity in the area is asked to call 454-7480.
Deputies also urged the public to use caution when stopping to help strangers, especially in the dark in isolated areas.
"I'm not saying don't help your neighbor," said Lt. Chris McCormick with the sheriff's office. "But if you feel uneasy about stopping, call us. That's what law enforcement does. We'd be happy to go and check on the motorist and offer help."

OP, you have trolled thread after thread sniffing about the mean name-calling and hatred coming from Dems. You know damn well why this country voted for Obama, but just to reiterate:
- He saved the auto industry - He pulled America of a new Great Depression - He made life easier for Main Street than Wall Street - He killed Osama bin Laden and avenged 9/11 - He is pulling us out of two expensive, costly foolish wars - He is revolutionizing health care to help real people in the real world - He stood for marriage equality and human rights
And that's just a few things.
This country voted by an overwhelming majority for a man with a real plan and real accomplishments. This is the future of our multicultural electorate. This is the future of America. And you are being left behind by your own choice. That can change any time you like.
Until then, you're F&Fed.

OP It is easier for many of the posters here to hate Romney than support Obama, because they never liked Obama in the first place. These are Hillary's angriest supporters from 2008 and they have never forgiven Obama for taking her nomination.
