looking for potted 'Night Blooming Jasmine'
Any one comes across this in the Austin area, lease let me know! Thanks It is the really dull rangy one with tiny little yellow flowers.
My night blooming jasmine has white flowers.
The night blooming jasmine is fragrant and has white flowers that open at night.
There is one with yellow flowers but it isn't fragrant. It's called jasmine diurnum, meaning day blooming jasmine. The flowers open during the day. Also, it reseeds like a maniac. I've got about a thousand of them. I've been pulling up the seedlings because 1)it's not fragrant and 2) the reseeding would take over my entire county if I kept it.
OK, I was wrong on the name, too.
Cestrum diurnum has yellow flowers that aren't fragrant. And it reseeds horribly.
Cestrum nocturnum has white flowers that are fragrant. It doesn't reseed but is not hardy, at least not in 8a. Once you have it it is easy to root so you will always have some if you want to plant some in the ground and root more for next year.
Check them out at Dave's Garden if you have doubts.
I know this for sure because the yellow one I bought was labled Cestrum nocturnum x diurnum (there is no such thing) and I was hoping that it would be fragrant like the Cestrum nocturnum that I have, but it wasn't and after doing some research I found out that it was actually Cestrum diurnum.
My main question is why would you want the yellow kind if it isn't fragrant?
Oops, I was wrong.
The yellow one is Cestrum aurantiacum. Not diurnum. Diurnum is white flowered but not fragrant like nocturnum.
Check out this link:
And this one:
Well, if those little suckers are white, they sure yellow quickly =) I first came across this plant not in a garden but at the nursery I was working in, Houston, in the fall. The entire building was perfumed by a few of these rather ugly weedy plant! And the bloom was not a long one. The flowers are actually insignificant. Monrovia (under their plant library) shows them as yellowish white. Anyway, I would like to try one but they are hard to find here and most nurseries must put in their orders quite in advance and I forgot to ask one to do so for me last year. Monrovia will not sell to the public. So......... If you should happen to see some in the Austin area, please let me know. I and my neighbors will thank you!
Other idea of getting this plant is to make a trade with other gardeners. Have you visited Texas Exchange Forum or any other Exchange Forum?
If you like NBJ's intense vanila fragrance, may I suggest you to check Sweet Almond Verbena (Aloysia virgata)? My friend gave me the rooted cutting, and my family entirely enjoy it very much. AV blooms very frequently throuthout a year and the fragrance is as intense as NBJ. I see no pest or disease to AV. I love NBJ, but this plants get mealy bug in Autumn, plus die back in winter.
Cestrum ID's can be quite confusing at times. Night blooming jasmine (C nocturnum) has white flowers; day blooming jasmine (C. diurnum) also has white flowers (with daytime scent). There IS a hybrid between the two (C. nocturnum X diurnum) that consists of several cultivars ('orange peel', 'lemon peel', etc.), whose colors range from white to orange. Nearly all of these have NO scent. Cestrum 'orange peel' has nearly identical flowers to C. aurantiacum, except that C. aurantiacum does have a citrus scent in the evening (not so strong). Also, C. nocturnum X diurnum cultivars all have dark purple/black berries, while C. aurantiacum has white berries. To add to the confusion, there are also other rare hybrids out there, such as C. aurantiacum X nocturnum, which has yellow flowers AND evening scent.
I haven't seen much C. nocturnum for sale in Austin this year, but mine from last year came back well and will bloom soon. I also have a few seeds from last year that I'll be sprouting soon...
Wow ... I didn't know about all those varieties. I just came in to say that after occasionally losing my plants to a freeze and finding that plant nurseries don't stock them consistently I decided to keep it in a five gallon pot. For several years now I have been cutting it way back when a freeze is predicted and wheeling it into the overwintering 'green' house on a dolly.
I hope you find one. Don't give up. It's worth the search. People will be watching for you I'm sure.
Thank you, thank you, Seagrapes. Read your post this evening, hopped in the car and whoshed to Loew's. Searched and searched, even had the help looking (they have a nice selection of various jasmines) and came up with nothing until......on my way out I got a hint of fragrance and there it was on the tropical table with a big mismatched tag. I will have to wait a day or two until full bloom to see if it is as fragrant as the Monrovia ones. I really appreciate you keeping an eye out for this. My next search is.........autumn clematis. (They also had some nice giant hysop, very pretty perennial and less expensive than Russian sage).
I just bought a Maid of Orleans Jasmine. From what I have read on the web it can't handle anything lower than 60 degrees. I just planted it in my backyard that faces east. Does anyone know anything about it? Or had any luck with it in the DFW area?
I have a maid of orleans jasmine which comes back every winter, and it gets down to 17 a few times each year. BUT this plant is against the wall on the south side of the house, so it is protected from the northern winds.
Depending on how much you paid for it you may want to dig it up this winter and take it inside. Or you could risk losing it.
red_geranium - Great that you found the night blooming cestrum! They had a whole table load of them last weekend in 1 gallon pots, or similar size. I don't remember the labels on them (mismatched tags), but I recognized the plants from FAR away. They were not quite in bloom yet at that time. Enjoy...
Maid of Orleans jasmine - mine took 20F w/ ice. It froze to the ground, but has returned and will bloom soon.
Lowes in Euless,TX has about 5 more NBJ left (directly in front of the Garden entrance gate). Also, your plant sounds like "orange peel" Cestrum, which is the same species that the store also carries. Hope this helps!

Grumman had an interesting policy for sick leave.
They provided one week of sick leave per year.
To avoid abuse they gave the employees the week of pay if they did not use it during the year
If they were sick and used it it prevented others in the compapny from getting sick
So basically, Grummann is paying people to come in sick. A better and more usual approach is to include sick leave with vacation and call it PTO or paid time off. This removes the financial incentive to work when sick (but there is still an incentive to not use sick days to maximize leave time. No matter what you do, there is a possibility of abuse

Asking for trouble. Completely different control systems. Major undertaking.
That's a bummer. Apart from that engines are identical. Thought there may have been a way of bypassing the whole electrical thing.
No bypassing. Why dont you use the donor engine like you wanted but you have to change over everything from your to the donor. Lot more work but worth it,
May just have to do that. Was hoping for a quick fix but looks like a rebuild. Cheers for ur time.
No re build, just change overs.

Groove Armada : Purple Haze
It's like a disease, I tell you...More on
Guitars are back! Look! Even yuppie electronica trailblazers [a]Groove Armada[/a] are using a hoary old Status Quo sample from 1970 that sounds like a lost Datsuns studio outtake. It's like a disease, I tell you. And, along with 'Purple Haze's avalanching beats and sly drug references ("[I]IT ALL MAKES SENSE AFTER THE 'SHROOMS AND THE PURPLE HAZE![/I]" bellow Kentucky hip-hoppers Nappy Roots at the top of their voices), GA's employment of wah-wah will do little to please the bodywarmer clad, all-terrain pram pushing dullards who actually buy their records. The fact that in 1997 this music was called Big Beat and it was the listening option of deluded Student Union caners nationwide doesn't help either.

Critical Read
"Wheels Up" graphic from the FAA's NextGen website.
What: Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General Audit Report for Congress on underlying causes for NextGen air traffic control system delays
Why: The report covers the Federal Aviation Administration's development of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) -- a multibillion-dollar program intended to transform the national air traffic system. FAA manages the transformation in part through its National Airspace System enterprise architecture plan -- a strategic planning tool that details the integration and investment decisions required to advance NextGen.
The DOT IG report said that while FAA is making progress with NextGen elements, it continued to find longstanding problems with cost increases, schedule slips and performance shortfalls. The study, said the IG, was conducted to determine FAA's progress on key enterprise architecture decisions related to achieving NextGen capabilities; identify underlying causes for FAA's delays in advancing NextGen; and assess FAA's recent reorganization to improve the management and execution of NextGen initiatives.
The report said that between January 2009 through May 2013, FAA made 157 key NextGen-related decisions, including critical spending plans for automation systems that controllers rely on to manage air traffic, an important foundation for NextGen. The study found the National Airspace System enterprise architecture wasn't being used effectively, however. For instance, it said some key decisions have not yet been made, such as funding needed for a NextGen weather-related system that was scheduled for 2010. Additionally, it said the FAA has deleted or replaced decisions without a clear understanding of how postponing these decisions could affect NextGen's overall progress.
The report makes six recommendations on how FAA can improve management of the program.
Verbatim: "FAA's NextGen plans -- which initially targeted completion for 2025 at a cost of $40 billion -- were overly ambitious, and FAA has yet to develop an executable implementation plan that addresses costs and technology development and integration."

How do I get sound output from the TV (and not the laptop) when I connect my MacBook Air to a TV using Mini Display Port to VGA Adapter?
When I connect my late 2010 13" MacBook Air using the Mini Display Port to VGA Adapter to my Samsung 19" TV or to my View Sonic monitor the display is just fine but the sound keeps coming out of the laptop and not the TV. I have tried the sound settings in System Preferences but the Output menu doesn't show any device attached, just the internal speakers.

Best Answer:
The VGA cable does not carry audio, you must have a separate audio cable.

I'll try to keep this as short as possible.
VGA only carries video.
The head phone jack on the laptop will carry the sound. Where you hooked the VGA on the back of your TV should be a sound in input next to it. In may be RCA or the same as the laptop headphone plug. (I can't remember the name of that plug.)
Like all TVs. There's inputs one, two, three, etc.... Each input can serve HDMI, RCA, Super-S. Most all new Flat TVs carry a computer hook-up as well in the form of VGA or HDMI etc.... Look close at those inputs and you will see the needed plugs to make them work.

Thanks a lot for the advice. It just hadn't occurred to me because before purchasing this adapter for Mac I had only used HDMI cables on my PC which did not require any additional audio cord. I kept thinking I was doing something wrong. Thanks!

Jarvan does it easily. Solo Queue, level 17, Zerker Greaves, SotD, Wriggles and Yoomuu's.
Only lost around 600 HP.
I did it as Jax with 3 Gunblades >.>
Jax owns him 1 on 1 as long as you know how to play him
The guy who started the thread is banned :O (Off topic)
Anyways nearly everyone can solo baron with the appropriate build :P
Late game Udyr can.
the best character to solo baron is fiddlesticks no discussion about it. Not that he is actually the best killer for baron, is just that he doesnt really need to be so high level and have many items to do so. If you pack that spell vamp book and a penetration boots and a few cooldown reduction runes (drain after drain, no time ur not draining) you can solo Baron at lvl 8 - 12 with ease. Just gotta be care cause when hes low life he will jack 80% of ur life off with a single hit, so if an enemy spot you it will be very easy for you to get killed.
I think that every champion can solo baron with certain build. I saw Cass soloing baron in one of YT videos
Jake Juke
ive done it with super late game nocturne and didnt lose any health and ive also done it with warwick

+ - PayPal Denies Teen Reward for Finding Bug->
Submitted by itwbennett
itwbennett (1594911) writes "You have to be 18 to qualify for PayPal's bug bounty program, a minor detail that 17-year old Robert Kugler found out the hard way after being denied a reward for a website bug he reported. Curiously, the age guideline isn't in the terms and conditions posted on the PayPal website. Kugler was informed by email that he was disqualified because of his age."

Official Blog of ThingM
On his blog, Khalid made a great post on using our blink(1) notification light with C# and .NET. He uses the Sleddog.Blink1 package on nuget. He shows how to use the library and some of its cool features.
And he has a video:
Tod was recently interviewed for the Embedded.fm podcast, episode #90 "Stick it in a Pumpkin". It was a lot of fun. We talked about blink(1), BlinkM, electronics production, Kickstarter, and a bunch of other things. You can listen to on iTunes or on the Embedded.fm website. And if you listen to the end, you'll hear a special 25% coupon code for blink(1)s. :-)
If you've not heard of Embedded.fm, and you're interested in electronics, you might like it. It's all about electronics. The host Elecia is awesome and wrote a pretty great book a few years ago called Making Embedded Systems.
Chris Matthieu at Octoblu has been playing around with Punchthrough's BLE LightBlue Bean and created a fun video showing how to hook a Bean up to a blink(1) through Octoblu. Octoblu is an extremely powerful connectivity platform for connecting any protocol to any other and is targeted at IoT applications.
Full video below:
ThingM friend John Tokash made this awesome stack of Raspberry Pis and blink(1) USB lights to help monitor his company network.
Our network at Curious had some partial outages recently (one portion of the network was down but others weren't). I set these up to monitor each portion of the network's ability to connect to the internet. Some are connected to switches, others are connected to WAPs. They each hit a different deadmanssnitch.com url so I can see their status remotely and get notified.
The blink1s are at less than 25% brightness (#005500) to keep heat down and are still plenty bright.
Having a single physical object for each monitored network might seem like overkill at first glance, but for network monitoring this could be ideal: each RasPi is a self-contained full computer with network connection on the net segment in question. The RasPi could perform all sorts of diagnostic tests on a specific Ethernet segment without tricky switch/router configuration changes. A great solution, John!
Snarl is a cool notification system for Windows (similar to what Growl was for Mac). Its philosophy is simple: "When stuff happens, tell me". But that's incredibly powerful. Snarl comes with a lot of built-in notification sources and supported apps. And now the developers of Snarl have created a tutorial showing how to integrate our blink(1) USB light as notification destination.
Snarl does quite a bit and you could use it instead of our Blink1Control app if you wanted. (And if you want to use Blink1Control and Snarl, just replace blink1-tool with blink1control-tool when following the tutorial)
The folks at Hackaday have been commissioning some great artwork for their site, most all by artist Joe Kim. We just found out that he made one for blink(1) and it is awesome. Thanks Hackaday! Be sure to check out the Hackaday Omnibus 2014 print edition for great projects with more of Joe Kim's art.
Our command-line blink1-tool for blink(1) is available now as pre-compiled binaries for Arduino Yun and OpenWrt "brcm47xx" and "ar71xx" devices. (The Yun is a "ar71xx" device running "linino"-flavored OpenWrt, routers like the Asus RT-N16 & Asus RT-N66U are "brcm47xx"-based)
If you're handy with shell scripts, you can whip up a quick bandwidth monitor light alert with blink(1) in a few minutes. blink1-tool is pretty easy, for instance, this causes the blink(1) to flash cyan five times:
blink1-tool --rgb #99ddff --blink 3
Find the pre-built binaries on our blink(1) releases page.
(and if you're interested in how to build OpenWrt binaries from simple Makefiles, check out the Makefile for blink1-tool and the "wrt" and "yun" targets)
Google wrote a blink(1) demo for Chrome!
Long ago we wrote test code to interface blink(1) with ChromeOS. We were working towards a notification system for Chromebooks. It was shelved because our test was a big hack and proper USB HID device support for Chrome was on the horizon but wasn't available yet.
Now a year later, as of Chrome 39.0.2140.0, the
chrome.hid API is public and Google created a blink(1) demo showing how to use
chrome.hid. It's just a simple set of RGB sliders but it's wonderful.
We're very excited by the development of USB HID and blink(1) support in Chrome. Note that this works both Chromebooks and on Chrome for desktop OSes. If there are any wizards out there who would like to help us get further on integrating blink(1) with Chrome, please drop us a line.
We are very excited that our blink(1) USB notification light is now available in the Hackaday Store. Hackaday is a great website for engineers, tinkerers, and electronics hobbyists. The new Hackaday Store is a highly-curated selection of interesting open-source hardware projects. (and awesome Hackaday-themed swag) blink(1) is entirely open source and is extremely hackable so we think it fits right in. Thanks Hackaday, you guys are awesome!
Blink1Control, our primary control app for controlling blink(1) and hooking up to IFTTT.com has been updated. It fixes some long-standing bugs that really bugged us and improves functionality with Mac OS X's "App Nap" feature.
If you use Blink1Control, please upgrade to v1.94.
Get it now from blink1.thingm.com/blink1control.
For release notes, see our blink1 github releases page.

Don't Tell Me What to Do, Tell Me Who to Follow! - Field Experiment Evidence on Voluntary Donations
We conducted a field experiment in a protected area to explore the effects of conformity to a social reference versus a comparable, but imposed, suggested donation. As observed before, we see visitors conforming to the changing social reference. On the other hand, the treatment in which we suggested a donation resulted in lower shares of visitors donating, compared to the social reference treatment, and lower conditional donations even compared to the control. We concluded that visitors look at their peers as a reference to conform to, but partially reject being confronted with an imposed suggestion on how to behave.

Nike WMNS Free Flyknit+ – Court Purple – Atomic Purple – Turquoise by Aaron Hope 0 Comments
are these releasing only at 21 Mercer, or are they dropping at other TZ accounts as well?
August 9, 2013 BY Brendan Dunne / 1
The Nike Free Flyknit "City Pack" is a group that will have a staggered release. The NYC one hit 21 Mercer today, the Friday release date apparently being part of a new push from the Swoosh squad to brand #FlyknitFriday.

'Totally different guy': Utah Jazz guard Trey Burke has come a long way in 12 months
LAS VEGAS — No matter what happens the rest of Trey Burke's career, it's likely the point guard will always be associated with his shooting performance in his first professional experience last summer.
Two weeks after the Jazz sent a pair of first-round picks to Minnesota for him and three months after leading Michigan to the 2013 NCAA championship game, the 6-footer had a rough shooting week in the Orlando Pro Summer League.
During that debut, Burke shot 1 for 19 from 3-point range. How could he — or anyone — forget that?
Ten months later, Burke was named to the All-Rookie first team after being one of the bright spots during the Jazz's 25-57 season.
Now that a year has passed, the 21-year-old has shown a maturity level and leadership capability that demonstrate how far he's come since the rough start.
"I think it's just his comfort level and his experience," Jazz assistant coach Brad Jones said.
Jones, who's coaching the summer league squad as Quin Snyder observes, pointed out that Burke's "conditioning was a little behind" last summer after being named NCAA national player of the year and not participating in a lot of pre-draft workouts.
Burke used that subpar performance in Orlando as motivation. He returned home to Columbus, Ohio, and trained hard for the next two months, reporting to fall camp in better shape.
The preseason fractured right index finger injury and ensuing surgery added another setback to his career start. Once Burke returned, though, things started clicking. Utah, which started the season 1-14, played near .500 basketball for the next three months after the shifty playmaker was inserted into the starting lineup.
Burke's first NBA season certainly included some struggles, including shooting difficulties beyond the arc (33 percent) and a struggle to penetrate the paint and score against mostly taller athletes.
But he established himself as one of the better rookies of his class, averaging 12.8 points, 5.7 assists (to only 1.9 turnovers) and 3.0 rebounds in 70 games.
"Obviously everybody saw he ended up having a terrific year for us, All-Rookie team," Jones said. "He's been a leader this week. He's done a much better job. He's like a totally different guy from last year to this year."
Snyder has spent extra time with Burke, helping him direct traffic on the offensive end. And Jones credited the second-year player for taking the initiative to help dish out advice to teammate Rudy Gobert, who didn't see nearly as much action in his rookie season.
"He's done a nice job," Jones added. "He's really connected with Rudy well, trying to get him to run and get in good spots."
It's appreciated by Gobert, who's been one of the Jazz's better players so far in summer league action.
"I think he's more trying to run the team, make plays for teammates. That's good for us," the 7-foot-1 French center said. "Of course, he's been playing a year in the league, so he's got more experience and he's more communicative with his teammates, so that's good."
Rookie Rodney Hood credited Burke for helping Jazz players get to their spots in offensive sets and, more specifically, for helping them keep their heads up after falling behind by 12 points in Saturday's loss to the Sixers.
Hood used the phrase "just leadership" twice while describing what Burke provides this summer team.
"We got off to a slow start (Saturday)," Hood said, "and he was telling everybody to pick it up."

Another mystery clematis
jeffb_fairwood(8)June 2, 2012
Someone told me this was "Tie Dye" but it looks different from the photos online. Any thoughts?
I appreciate the follow-up posts with suggestions. I wondered, too, if the streaking variegation in the petals is environmental or as a result of a virus, but I seem to recall having bought it because of its variegation some years ago. Frankly, I thought I'd lost it 4 years ago and it came back from the dead last summer, much to my surprise. The fall blooms were small compared to these spring blooms, as expected, but no less variegated.

Containing Iran: The Sunnis strike back
Middle East and Africa
IT HAS not been the best year or so for international trade flows. After a decade of extremely rapid growth in trade volumes, the global economy sustained a triple blow to trade. High oil prices increased transportation costs, making less trade economically worthwhile. September's financial crisis dealt a crippling blow to trade finance, and then massive global recession destroyed whatever import demand was still being met. In America, the effects of the slowdown were dramatic; the nation's trade deficit shrank to its lowest level in over a decade. In export-oriented economies like Germany, Japan, and South Korea, the effect was devastating. The implosion in world trade has gutted export economies, leading to far sharper contractions than have been experienced in consuming nations.
With virtually the whole of the explosion in trade in the 2000s now undone, some key questions are being asked. With consuming nations struggling to work off debt and oil prices rising once more, are we in for a new age of de-globalisation, akin to the interwar period of last century? Is it possible that the collapse of traditional sources of demand might lead to the promised decoupling, which obviously didn't take place over past decade?
Maybe, on both counts. Menzie Chinn presents a number of charts putting the current decline in trade in perspective and reveals that the freeze is dramatic, but it's also not that atypical for a recession. He does note that atypical threats are present, however. After the last recession, oil prices were low, credit was easy, American demand was voracious, and populist pressure for protectionism was (largely) dormant. Those tailwinds have turned into potentially stiff headwinds for the global economy.
On the other hand, credit markets are beginning to repair themselves, a shipping glut may help to offset oil costs, and protectionism has not proven as potent a temptation as we might have expected given the depth of the recession. Given new demand, trade might do just fine. Brad Setser has some thoughts on the question of whether China might be able to turn itself into an economy-driving source of demand. Considering the question of why China's economy has outperformed other export-oriented nations, he writes:
The answer, I suspect, is that China – unlike many other countries that relied heavily on exports for growth – actually did have an underlying dynamic of domestic demand growth. From 2004 on, Chinese policy sought to limit domestic demand growth by limiting bank lending and running a tight fiscal policy...That was necessary to keep China's economy from avoid overheating – and to keep China from experiencing a real appreciation driven by rising inflation — even as exports contributed heavily to growth.
It also gave China an option other export-based economies didn't have when the global economy turned down – namely to lift existing restrictions on domestic demand growth and see what happened. And that's what China did.
Banks who previously had been kept from lending as much as they wanted were free to lend. Local governments that had been forced to scale back their investment plans were free to go ahead. State enterprises that hadn't been able to borrow quite as much as they wanted were able to borrow on a large scale.
That certainly sounds encouraging. A world in which Chinese consumers begin flexing their muscles is one in which a lot of problematic imbalances begin to unwind. But it doesn't really seem like China is pulling itself, to say nothing of the world economy, out of deep recession. Mr Setser adds:
China didn't spur domestic lending quickly enough to avoid the global downturn, especially as China's real estate sector was clearly slowing even before the Lehman crisis.
Unfortunate, but also promising. This suggests that China may have had the capacity to avoid the worst of the downturn but waited until too late to turn consumers loose. The bottom line for the world economy is this—the longer we go without a significant source of demand other than the American economy, the longer and more uncomfortable recovery will be, for everyone. If Mr Setser is correct in saying that China's domestic demand cushioned the blow of export decline, then there is reason to be positive about the future of the global economy.

Voter Referendum Set For Tax Hike To Support Dolphins' Stadium Renovations
Published April 11, 2013
SWIMMING AGAINST THE CURRENT? In Ft. Lauderdale, Craig Davis notes there are "significant hurdles remaining" in securing the Sun Life Stadium upgrades. The Dolphins said that they have "gotten favorable response when they present the merits of the funding plan to community groups." But there is "considerable opposition among voters who object to giving any public funds to sports teams and wealthy owners such as Dolphins' owner Steve Ross" (South Florida SUN-SENTINEL, 4/11). Former Eagles Owner and South Florida car dealer Norman Braman said that he was "ready to bankroll opposition to the deal in an election, but if he waits for the legislature to vote … he may miss out on opportunity to influence absentee voters" (MIAMI.CBSLOCAL.com, 4/10).
NOTHING FISHY: In Ft. Lauderdale, Dave Hyde writes the Super Bowl is "being used as a political shield and conversational convenience for the Dolphins to get public millions to build their stadium." The stadium has "legitimate needs for updating, no doubt." But the "big-money item, the canopy, isn't really needed to shield Super Bowl fans from night-time rain." It is "necessary to shade Dolphins fans sitting in the heat of a September afternoon." Hyde writes, "You can't blame the Dolphins for going this route. They're doing what sports teams do in America" (South Florida SUN-SENTINEL, 4/11).

Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - Joey Votto singled home the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning, as the Cincinnati Reds topped the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, 5-4, at Great American Ball Park.
Angels reliever Scott Downs (0-1) hit Shin-Soo Choo to begin the ninth and Chris Heisey advanced the Cincinnati newcomer to second with a sacrifice bunt.
Choo then raced home when Votto stroked a grounder that deflected off first baseman Albert Pujols' glove and rolled into right field.
Baseball's first season-opening Interleague series is now even at one game apiece. The Angels prevailed 3-1 in 13 innings Monday.
The Reds won Wednesday despite blowing a four-run lead.
"We knew we had to get that "W" and I'm glad that we came through," Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips said. "We stayed in the game and got it done."
Angels starter C.J. Wilson retired the first 10 batters he faced before the Reds tagged him for four runs in the fourth. After the southpaw issued back- to-back walks, Phillips launched a three-run homer to left-center field.
Jay Bruce followed with a double and scored on a single by Todd Frazier.
"They bunched together offense," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "Outside that, C.J. settled down and pitched a couple of strong innings."
Howie Kendrick homered off Cincinnati starter Mat Latos to begin the fifth, and the right-hander was removed in the seventh after giving up a two-out, two-run homer to Alberto Callaspo.
The next two batters reached against J.J. Hoover, but the Reds reliever struck out reigning AL rookie of the year Mike Trout looking to end the inning.
Los Angeles tied things up in the eighth against Jonathan Broxton. Erick Aybar led off with a single and Pujols reached on Frazier's fielding error at third base. Consecutive groundouts by Josh Hamilton and Mark Trumbo produced the tying run.
Aroldis Chapman (1-0) earned the win after working around a two-out walk in the top of the ninth.
The Reds placed outfielder Ryan Ludwick on the 15-day disabled list and
selected the contract of outfielder Derrick Robinson from Triple-A Louisville.
Ludwick is expected to miss at least three months following surgery on
Wednesday to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. He suffered the
injury in Monday's season opener.
Vanderbilt quarterback Patton Robinette said Friday he is walking away from football to enter medical school.
Sprint Cup Series driver Kyle Larson was taken to a hospital for precautionary reasons after he fainted during an autograph session at Martinsville Speedway on Saturday.
If contradiction was an Olympic sport, Chip Kelly would certainly be medal-worthy judging by his performance at the NFL's owners meeting but the Eagles coach might have to settle for silver because Daniel Snyder's critics will take the gold every time.
The Chicago Cubs granted pitcher Felix Doubront his unconditional release as the team continued to pair down its spring training roster on Saturday.
Longtime Jazz announcer Rod Hundley died Friday at the ago of 80.
Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang was taken to the hospital after getting hit in Saturday's game against the Arizona Coyotes.

If there's anyone that I feel sorry for, it's not the folks who are fat and in most cases, cheering in the stands. Of course, they know that they will never stand a chance for sporting glory be it the Olympics or any other professional sport of today. It's the team/ individual who comes in second especially when country pride is at stake.
Imagine all those years of training that has been made (not forgetting the numerous surprises as well), and all that one has achieved is the second place/ silver medal.
As tough as this sounds, history belongs to the winners, and in world of sport, one can safely say that the competition is indeed brutal!
However, if you have no such dreams about Olympic glory, one can still participate in sports to stay fit. And since most athletes find it hard to train in the winter, what better option than to try out some Olympic winter sports… right?
And while summer Olympic athletes have to, no doubt, train very hard, one can only imagine the effort that the winter Olympic athletes have to put in, thanks to the mind-numbing temperatures in which they train.
With that in mind, let's look at the three winter sports that one can use as a workout routine in order to stay in shape, and have some fun while they're at it too.
Three Winter Olympic Sports
1. Long/ Short Track Speed Skating
The oval track is the arena and the objective of the course is to skate around it as fast as possible, and finish first. The long track is 400 meters in length while the short track is about 111 meters.
And unlike doing the 100-meters dash in the Summer Olympics, this one takes into account speed, maneuverability and to a large extent, aerodynamics as well. The tight suits that the athletes in this competition wear should give it away, actually!
2. Ice Hockey
Most folks in North America know who Wayne Gretsky is. Yes, the greatest player in ice hockey… that's who. But this is a debate about who was, is and will be the greatest but another option that one can exercise in staying in shape.
Since it's competitive, one needs to have a lot of energy in order to play this game well… and if you're not too keen in following your ordinary work out routine, then perhaps a game of ice hockey might just do the trick. And the best part, it's a lot of fun while leaving a lot of room for make-believe as well.
3. Nordic Combined
Apart from the other two sports, this one is a bit more serious than the others, and which is a combination of ski jumping and cross-country skiing. And there's no doubt that for the former, there is a need for endurance and speed (where the athlete covers almost 15 km) whereas for the latter, one must develop the right technique if not stay in shape to get as far as possible in the jump.
In Closing
And while you do feel the sting of the winter cold, just remember that it is for a good reason alright.

Without knowing the source, apparently Avast is reporting there is an update for IE 10, however it's not available on Windows Update at this time.
I have the same "NEW" reported version Avast is talking about.
I don't think it's "NEW"... I'm just stating that I have the same reported "NEW" version Avast is claiming.
BTW are you running IE10 under EMET? I am (not that I use it anyway).
