CINCINNATI — Oh, the agony. Oh, the possible embarrassment. Two losses on the home field when one win ends it puts the Cincinnati Reds on weak cables attached to a dying Diehard battery. But the Reds still have a chance, still have a last gasp, to make it all right Thursday afternoon in Great American Ball Park.
What was once a monumental advantage for the Reds is now reduced to a sliver of an advantage over the San Francisco Giants.
And some would say: "Advantage, San Francisco."
That's because momentum is pushing hard behind the Giants after their 8-3 victory over the Reds Wednesday in Great American Ball Park.
The significance? The best-of-five series is now tied at two wins apiece after an illogical sequence of games. The Reds won the first two games in San Francisco and came home needing only one win in three chances to win the National League Division Series.
Amazingly, the Giants won the first two in GABP and now it is a one-game winner-take-all and loser-take-a-hike game Thursday afternoon.
The methodology doesn't surprise Cincinnati second baseman Brandon Phillips because this is the way it always is for the 2012 Reds — nothing comes easy, make it as difficult on themselves as possible.
"It's sad that somebody is going to be a loser, but that's just how it is," he said. "It's never the end of the world to me. I'm a happy person. As long as you got out an d give it your all, give it your best. If you don't give it your best then you are going to have hard time sleeping at night."
The Giants must have slept well Tuesday night. They banged 11 hits, eight for extra bases (five doubles three home runs). Most of the damage was done against stand-in pitcher Mike Leake, plucked from the inactive list before the game in place of Johnny Cueto, removed from the roster with oblique problems.
Leake's second pitch left the premises, a 0-and-1 pitch that Angel Pagan drove over the right field fence.
The Reds tied it in the bottom of the first when starter Barry Zito gave up a hit and three walks.
Leake gave up five runs and six hits (two homers) in 4 1/3 innings. Zito lasted only 2 2/3 innings, a walk on the wild side — 76 pitches during his short stay during which he gave up two runs, four hits and four walks.
But Zito had the pick-me-up that Leake didn't have, a back-up who had Zitos back. Tim Lincecum, a starter during the season, was plopped into the bullpen for the postseason saved the Giants with 4 1/3 innings of one-run, two-hit, no-walks, six-strikeouts pitching.
The Giants were able to throw big money bags at the Reds — Zito with his $19 million deal and Lincecum with an $18 million contract ($37 million worth of arms — and it gets pricier next year with LIncecum at $22 million and Zito at $20 million.
"Right now, the times are different," said Lincecum. "We're playing for a different reason than just the season — to get to the NLCS and further. So I feel that motivation helps me not think about the difference between starting and being in a bullpen situation. I just have to get my outs and do my job."
And what a job he did
Manager Bruce Bochy, the man who decided to plop his big-name starter into the bullpen, is reaping results.
"Tim has unbelievable talent and I know it has been and up and down year for him," said Bochy. "I knew he was wanting to get out there (to pitch) and I knew he would play a huge role in this. I love to have a man like this who has the talent he does and part of it was him buying into what we were doing. He said, 'I just want to do anything I can to help the ball club win.'" That he did on a chilly afternoon when a loss ended their season. But now a third straight win enables them to become the first National League team to lose the first two games at home and then win the next three. Conversely, the Reds could suffer the ignominy of being the first National League to win the first two playoff games on the road and then lose the final three.
"Well, we haven't done anything yet, but we had to work hard to get back to this point," said Bochy. "We're excited about being in this position, especially when we came in 0-2 down and have to play in their park."
Cincinnati right fielder Jay Bruce knows the situation now and smiles and said, "This is baseball. This is what it is all about. It is down to one thing — win or go home. We still have the edge. We're playing at home and we have our big horse (Mat Latos) pitching."
Latos will face Matt Cain, the loser in Game One when Latos stepped into on three days of rest to fill the hole when Cueto left after eight pitches.
Of his team's plight, Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker said, "It was probably hard for them to believe we were ukp 2-0 after two games out there. So they reversed on us what we did to them, so now it is the rubber match."
Phillips was 1 for 4 Wednesday and drove in a run with a sacrifice fly, continuing as Cincinnati's top run finder — 7 for 19 (.368) with two doubles a home run and five RBIs in the four games.
"I'm out there trying to make things happen for the team, making positive things happen," he said. "You can't press. You've been playing this game since you were a little kid and all you can do is give it your all.
"Everybody knows we are going to go home and we are going to move on," Phillips added. "Some people might bust like a pipe and some people might rise to the occasion. We need clutch hits, good defense, good pitching and then we'll be popping champagne.
"We won two games there, they came here and won two games here," he said. After the Reds stranded eight runners in the first four innings Wednesday, Phillips said slowly and succinctly, "Key…hits…it…the…key…factor. We…haven't…got…them…the…last…two…games."

Vancouver is a very well-rounded team, with perhaps their weak spot being the penalty kill.
Be ready for the next hat trick at Bridgestone, and get yourself a new Nashville Predators hat!
Vancouver Canucks
Just as we've noted the times that the Predators have faced a well-rested opponent after having played the night before, it's Nashville's turn to be on the positive end of that issue, as the Canucks roll in after defeating Dallas last night 4-3.
The big news with the Canucks these days has been the return of our old pal Ryan Kesler to the lineup, after having hip surgery during the offseason. In four games so far, Kesler has a goal and three assists, and is already averaging over 20 minutes a game. Where would you rank Kesler on a Preds fan Most Hated Player list these days?
Since Corey Schneider played last night, that means we're likely to see Vancouver's other #1 goaltender face the Predators:
In 28 games against Nashville all-time, Luongo is 12-12-3 with a .922 save percentage, 2.26 GAA and two shutouts.
Throughout the day, keep an eye on our SB Nation fellows at Nucks Misconduct for more from their side. I'll have a "3 Questions" post from them later on.
Nashville Predators
With the Predators, it looks like the offensive attack is starting to come to life, thanks in part to Patric Hornqvist's return to duty. In two games, he's directed 16 shots at net - that's more than Sergei Kostitsyn has taken all season! While it's easy to say that guys should work the top of the crease, it's a devilishly difficult thing to do in practice. There is a great deal of timing and "feel" involved in knowing when and where to pick your spots, and tipping shots is one of the hardest skills to develop in all of hockey.
Of course, the return of Hornqvist adds to the decision-making that Barry Trotz has to make each night. So far, the odd man out has been Hal Gill, as the Predators have returned to dressing six defense and Jonathon Blum has earned steady work.
Up front, the hot hand for the Preds might just be the guy that Nucks Misconduct was making fun of this morning, Mike Fisher. In 19 career games against the Canucks, Fish has 10 goals and 4 assists, and after a slow start offensively, he has chipped in two goals and assist in his last four:
In the past, we've seen Fisher matched up against Kesler head-to-head, so keep an eye out to see if that develops tonight as well.
Check back later today for our 3 Questions with Nucks Misconduct, and the Game Thread to post shortly before game time (7:00 p.m.).

Energy Management and the Realities of the Bottom Line
- Details
- Created on Sunday, 02 October 2005 17:19
- Written by Jeffrey Hart, CEO Cadence Network
And, you can't manage what you can't measure.
Information does exist on energy savings and utilizing insulation and lighting retrofits to save money and conserve energy. However, unless a company has an established comprehensive expense management program, there is a lack of in house understanding of how to create savings or manage energy.
Expense management and energy management goes significantly deeper than insulating pipes and walls, turning off these lights, and lowering thermostats. Water conservation, heat reclamation, better extraction after washing, more efficient dryers, and many other methods of reducing energy use are all available in every laundry. By embracing and instituting a comprehensive expense management and energy management program, good chief financial officers and facility managers can expect to make a significant positive impact to the bottom line.
Businesses should be confident that their operations are running at peak efficiency and are towing the bottom line with regards to energy. Managers, owners and comptrollers should ask themselves: Do you know how much you're spending? Do you know how much you should be spending? Are you procuring at the best rates? Are you learning from your utility bills or just paying them? Are any of your bills wrong?
- Are our sites being operated in the most effective and efficient manner?
- Which sites incur the most expenses and why?
- Are we sure that our utility, telecom, waste and lease invoices are correct?
- Are we on the correct electric rate?
- Should we be taking advantage of energy deregulation?
- Are we maximizing our purchasing power and minimizing our expenses?
- Are we making the right purchasing decisions?
Truth is, between 10 to 15 percent of bills that come into a business are in error.
The combination of energy, telecommunications and leasing are the third largest expense of doing business, behind labor and cost of goods sold – typically about 25 percent of an overall budget. Yet, most companies continue to cut labor costs through layoffs and offshore outsourcing, or attempt to produce inferior products by lowering their cost of goods. Well, energy prices are going up. Does that mean more people will lose their jobs to keep the bottom line? Expense management is a better way, and it has a positive byproduct – energy and water conservation.
Larger multiple site companies are the most vulnerable to escalating expenses and errors, simply due to their size and the company's inability to monitor all sites with the same careful eye that a small company could. Comparatively across the board, retail operations incur some of the largest expenses due to labor costs and the purchase of goods.
Successful CFOs have looked toward advanced ideas and methodologies to help them keep the company belt tight, but until very recently, there was no way to develop a performance management and business intelligence methodology for energy.
Having buildings up to code and insulating where appropriate is a great step, but it's time to take a giant leap beyond that. Taking notice of the slightest errors, such as in telecom invoices can bring in huge savings. The fact is, unless you have access to your invoice and expense related information in a manner that highlights errors and anomalies or lends itself to detailed analysis, it is virtually impossible to effectively manage your site expenses. The best insulation in the world or shutting off the lights, while good practice, will certainly not solve these types of issues. A good expense management program will transcend the obvious and help CFOs start strategically managing sites. Business executives need to focus on the enabling technologies, methodologies and information channels that:
- Increase organizational effectiveness
- Enhance contract leverage
- Improve service supplier performance
- Eliminate non-value-added activities
- Enable a fact-based approach to continuous improvement.

BYU Students Build Motorized Couch, Campus Officials Insist It's Not What Jesus Would Do
Brigham Young University, best known for being 98% Mormon and having a mediocre basketball team -- shit, I forgot where I was going with this. Anyway, a couple BYU students decided it would be the wildest thing they've ever done if they made a motorized couch. And it was.
That's right. After two Brigham Young University students spent three months creating their automotive love seat, campus security nipped their hard work in the bud by placing a campus-wide ban on any type of couch transportation.
"Wherever we went, people would stop what they were doing and take pictures, gawk and start rolling on the ground like they were on fire.""Everyone was just kinda going nuts," Homer tells Asylum. "We had a line of about 10 cars backed up on the street and the police were called because we were blocking traffic. The police showed up after a few minutes and basically congratulated us on being awesome."
Oh man, if I had a $1 million for every time the police showed up and congratulated me on being awesome and not urinating in public, I'd be a rich man broke as ever and still writing Geekologie.

Specter of Corruption Hounds Chinese Leaders at Party Congress (Beijing)
(c) 2012, The Washington Post.
BEIJING — The specter of corruption continued to hound China's leaders Friday, the second day of a week-long Communist Party congress at which the country's next generation of top leaders are expected to be unveiled.
At several group events throughout the day, reporters were allowed to watch party leaders discuss policy in a pre-scripted manner — mostly designed to give the party congress a veneer of democratic dialogue.
But the veneer was shattered, in most cases, when leaders opened up the floor to questions.
Reporters inevitably tried to ask about recent corruption scandals and the lack of enforcement and strong anti-corruption regulations in China, which allows leaders and their relatives to profit off their political connections. In most cases, the questions were not answered.
Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, especially, has been under fire ever since a recent New York Times article said that his family controls assets worth $2.7 billion, some of it in industries that fall under Wen's purview. Policy discussions attended by Wen and by President Hu Jintao on Friday were closed to reporters.
During a highly controlled news conference by the party's powerful Organization Department, officials did not take questions on the sensitive question of wealth among leaders' families. Instead, they talked in general terms about the need to reform and deal with corruption.
Addressing corruption after a different event, Wang Yang — a high-ranking party chief from Guangdong province known for being more candid and confident in dealing with the media than other party officials — also gave a fairly vague response.
"We are going to continue our efforts in this direction," Wang said. "I believe that the officials in China will gradually have to publicly disclose their family assets according to the rules of the Central Committee."
Amid a day full of generalizations, the most surprising and direct response came from Yu Zhengsheng, the current Shanghai party chief and an official many believe will land a coveted seat next week on China's all-powerful standing committee.

Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) is no ordinary human. Born on the planet Kypton by the name of Kal-El, he is sent by his parents to live on Earth, where he is raised by a kindly farmer named Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner) and his wife Martha (Diane Lane). While all appears normal on the outside, inside Clark lies a superhuman power — one he must use when planet Earth is attacked by forces far greater than anything the human race can defend themselves against. Can Superman save humankind, or is the world doomed to fall to the evil forces sent by Clark's own birth planet?
Crude language, and intense scenes of violence and destruction might make this movie a little too scary for kids under the age of 13.

Yeah, definitely. The pilot episode (1 and 2) is pretty unimpressive, but some of the later episodes like Party of One are great.

Pre-Tournament Jitters and Heartfelt Reunions
, 6th September 2012 at 01:14 PM (241 Views)
First off, if you are the kind of person who thinks that tournaments are serious business, first part of this blog is not for you.
Well, I made a last-minute change to my team before I signed up for the 2012 Autumn Friendly. Here they are
My best friend got on the other day and had me grab my DS so that she could help me get my pokemon from Sapphire and Diamond. I migrated everything from Sapphire to my Diamond card, and then traded about half of my pokemon to my best friend for safe keeping until she could transfer them to her Black card, and then give them to me *as I only have one DS*. She's been busy, so we haven't been able to continue beyond the initial trade of 10 or so pokemon. The other night, we started the process of moving some of them to Black, and among them were my Latias, and my dearest friend Blaziken.
I need to work on a new moveset for my Blaziken before I consider throwing him up against people, as he has ONLY fire type moves *a leftover from my dumb days*, but I decided to switch out Ghidorah, who is merely level 81, for Latias, who was fully leveled. I know that the tournament will bump down levels, but I don't know if stats will stick or not, so I`d rather be safe than sorry.
I`m so nervous. I`m a lot less nervous than I was when I first found out about it, but I`m still nervous. I leveled Trois and Lamplera to 75 and Gallade to around 80, and fully leveled Serpentia. I EV trained all four of them too, so they are as ready as they are going to be.
After I found out about the leveling down, I took a few days to relax and raise some Hydreigon for my shop thread. During this time my best friend had a chance to get some of my pokemon to me, and that is when I decided to include Latias in lieu of Ghidorah. Yesterday, I decided to put the finishing touches onto my team and max out Serpentia, since Milotic are surprisingly easy to level *will NEVER understand that* and then get everyone in the battle box once I concluded everyone was as ready as they are going to be. After that, I waited out the slow, agonizing wait until midnight and signed up as soon as the clock turned. Now, I wait here while my beloved team rests in the battle box, ready to take on the competition come September 14th.
Now don't get me wrong. My nervousness doesn't stem from my skill compared to the skill of the people I will face. I knew what I was getting into the moment I heard of the tournament and made the decision to enter. I wasn't too thrilled at the thought of sending out pokemon 25+ levels lower than their opponents, but when I found out about the levels being bump down during competition, I felt a whole lot better. I came to terms with the fact that I might not make it out of the tournament with even a single win a long time ago.
My nervousness, it comes from anticipation. I am really looking forward to seeing the combinations and strategies you can only find in this kind of event. I wanna learn new strategies and combinations and figure out how to counter them. I learn best by example, and there isn't a better way than firsthand.
Not to mention, these pokemon are some of my favorites, with Sneer being my absolute favorite. If I do managed to win at least ONE match, then that will prove that no, you don't HAVE to go in with a professional attitude to be good. This is a game, meant for enjoyment, fun, and global unity. The tournament is called the 2012 Autumn FRIENDLY, and if it were for people of a strictly professional level, they would put restrictions saying "You must have __ Random Matchup wins to participate". I am doing this for fun, and I will have fun. I am looking forward to fighting against people with some of my favorite pokemon ever.
In other news, of all the pokemon my Best Friend sent forward and gave back to me, two made me soo happy to have back. Welcome home, Latias and Blaziken. You all know my Blaziken right? Well he finally managed to find his way out of Sinnoh, and is back home safe and sound. You would not believe how excited I got when he showed up in the selection list on sissy's side. I was like "MAMA'S COMING BABY! HOLD ON!" and damn near cried when the trade went through and he showed up on my screen. My very first pokemon is back home where he belongs, and I couldn't be happier <3.
And then there is my Latias. I was REALLY glad to have her back too. Although I wasn't nearly as emotional about getting her back as I was with Blaziken, it was still very good to see her again. It took me 6 months to chase her down and catch her, since I failed to get the master ball out of Team Aqua's base. I got her down to yellow and used a Wobbuffet to catch her with an ultra ball. After everything I went through to catch her, it is good to have her on my team again.
And then there is Diaruga, my Dialga from Diamond. I am glad to have him again because of the adorable persona I gave him. He's based off the Dialga one of my characters at VS has. Basically, Diaruga is a lovable idiot who has a fondness for sucking his feet. He'll roll over on his back, pull one of his hind legs up, and nom away. He likes to play jokes on his trainer too. I <3 Diaruga.
That's it for now. I`ll see about doing an Anime Analysis later. Until then, ta ta!

MISSION — The addition of the new Hollis Rutledge Sr. Park located on Inspiration Road just north of the Mile 2 Line Road, provides even more outdoor space to assure that residents are all able to enjoy a higher quality of life no matter where in the city they live.
Scheduled to open in December, construction on the eight-acre tract is underway with restrooms and lighting already built and installed. Parks Director Julian Gonzalez said Rutledge Park would be a zone park, meaning it will have more facilities than a neighborhood park, but less than the new regional park located at 1801 S. Inspiration Rd. The park will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Plans for the park include two lighted Little League fields and a perimeter lighted walking trail. A medium-sized pavilion is planned for parties and gatherings. City leaders said children from 3 to 12 years old will be entertained on a new playscape, which has a variety of exercise stations.
When phase two of construction begins in 2012, two junior soccer fields will be added along with five picnic shelters. A junior age mountain bike course that takes riders through a small pond and over jumping mounds will be constructed.
Gonzalez said the quality of Mission's parks was improving since the city floated a $5 million bond to build and renovate parks. The outdoor pool at Catholic War Veteran's Park located at 115 S. Mayberry Ave. is getting a complete renovation and will reopen in December. A new gym is being built for the Mission Boys & Girls Club to expand activities from its current location.
But one of the most exciting facilities for the youth at that location is the renovation of the skateboard park. When completed, the park will have a 140-foot concrete slab with six to seven stations, including ramps, grind posts and concrete jumping mounds. The skateboard park will be located between the pool and the new gym.
At Bannworth Park, the pool will be an enclosed 25-meter pool. It will have an adjacent diving well. The pools will open at 5:30 a.m. Monday through Thursday and Saturday from 8-11 a.m. for lap swimming. The cost for swimming is $1.50 for adults, and $1 for senior citizens.
New amenities are also being planned for Bentsen Palm Regional Park, including shade covers over the bleachers on the four baseball fields.
Gonzalez also plans to organize a catch and release stock pond filled with game fish such as bass, perch and catfish. He hopes to hold contests between area youth in the future.
While no new parks are being planned for the immediate future, Gonzalez said a number of additional amenities and renovations are being considered for existing parks.
Gonzalez said he's proud of the new facilities the city has provided for its citizens and for Winter Texans who spend call Mission home. He said the new additions would add to the quality of life here.

RALEIGH — Gov. Pat McCrory is poised to sign legislation that rejects major parts of the federal health care law after Republican lawmakers gave final approval to the measure Tuesday.
The Republican governor supports the effort to block a state-sponsored insurance exchange and the expansion of Medicaid coverage to 500,000 low-income residents. McCrory campaigned against President Barack Obama's health care law and now says the state's health care program is too troubled to consider adding more recipients.
Methinks he doth protest too much. Hopefully, the federal exchanges will provide teh same level of care and employment for health services to North Carolinians. In the mean time, perhaps people can investigate who pays for the good governor's campaign to see if his signature on such legislation is the result of real critical thinking OR some lobbying quid pro quo. |

Recipe by KareBear
"Tangy Potato Salad"
Watch video tips and tricks
10 small red potatoes
4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
3 large Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
3 green onions, sliced
1/2 cup sliced celery
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup mayonnaise
salt and pepper to taste
My Mom made this and she used blue cheese dressing instead of the mayo. she said it had more flavor than it did with just the mayo..
This was pretty good. I would mix the blue cheese into the dressing though so the blue cheese flavor is more evenly distributed. The apples add a nice crunch and bright flavor to the salad.

Adults trump teens, as Prometheus crushes Snow White at the box office.
It's been announced that Sir Anthony Hopkins is in negotiations to join the cast of the sequel to the 2010 Bruce Willis action movie, Red.
There are certain words it's hard to avoid when reviewing a Wes Anderson movie, such as quirky, eccentric and whimsical, but it's just hard not to when he makes films that are so gosh darn quirky, eccentric and whimsical. With Moonrise Kingdom though, he may harness his usual bag of tricks and deliver a film in his trademark auteur style, but there's a tremendous tenderness and sincerity in the film's story that for me sets it up there with the very best of his output.
Samuel L Jackson has been added to the already impressive cast of Jose Padilha's Robocop reboot. Jackson will play Pat Novak, a media mogul whom I suspect might not have Alex Murphy's best interests at heart. Jackson has charisma to spare and I can very easily see him filling the shoes of a Rupert Murdoch-esque oligarch with designs on the Robocop technology.
There's a lot of superhero news floating around at the moment; having a film smash box office records will do that, as the rest of Hollywood smells what sells and struggles to find a space on the bandwagon. The Wonder Woman project has been on the go in one form or another since the latest round of comic book adaptations started to do such good business, and it hasn't always been a smooth ride.
I thought my excitement surrounding Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained had plateaued comfortably but, having seen the brand new trailer I must accept that there is no limit to my excitement for this movie.

Nets discussing blockbuster to land Howard

08:07 AM ET 07.03 | Though conventional wisdom suggested that a Nets team with Joe Johnson could not add Dwight Howard, there is some dissenting opinion. There is still a chance that Orlando Magic star Dwight Howard could become a member of the Brooklyn Nets, according to league sources. The Nets and the Orlando Magic are discussing a trade that would send Howard to the Nets for Brook Lopez, Kris Humphries, MarShon Brooks and the Nets' first-round picks in 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018, sources said. On Monday, the Nets reached terms with the Atlanta Hawks on a multiplayer trade that will land them All-Star guard Joe Johnson in exchange for several players with expiring contracts, according to sources briefed on the discussions.
wow if this trade goes down, the Magic work the nets over ......the 4 first round picks alone
If the Nets have Howard Johnson and Williams, they will become one of the top teams in the east. Which means their 1st round draft pick will be a late 1st round pick
Long term doesn't look good for the Nets. They won't have any draft picks to build on.
4 number ones for a guy with back issues? Quite risky.
wow if this trade goes down, the Magic work the nets over ......the 4 first round picks alone
Good point and then there is still the issue of Howard's bad back, that he had operated on during last season?
Total Comments (28820)
I actually think the Nets will make out in this draft IF, and a big IF Howard back is ok. To give all of this up to a guy who is still injured is risky to say the least. Every other year they will not have a first round draft pick. They will be just like Miami, Bulls, Lakers, OKC drafting late in the first round and would rely on trying to get cheap role players to fill out a roster like Miami

Con Edison and union representatives remain at odds as contract talks aimed at ending an employee lockout drag on.
8,500 unionized workers have been locked out since the beginning of the month, when both sides failed to reach a new contract agreement.
After both sides met Tuesday, Con Ed said it's now offering a 10 percent pay hike over four years but it wants employees to pay more toward health care.
"All of our employees at Con Edison make a decent living," said Michael Clendenin, Con Ed's director of media relations. "They make a good wage. They make very good benefits. They make benefits and pensions and 401k plans that many companies across the country are no longer even offering."
But union representatives said not only is that offer deceptive, they said the utility is trying to negotiate through the press and not at the actual bargaining table.
"What is this ploy about?" said John Melia, a spokesman for UWUA Local 1-2. "What is this cynical release of a press release having to do with an offer that was never made? They're liars. They lie to the public, they lie to the media and they lie to their own employees." Con Ed said 5,000 managers have been working to keep the power flowing during the dispute.
Con Ed worker Paul Grassi, 33, was arrested on assault charges Monday for allegedly blowing an airhorn in a manager's ear in the Bronx.
State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has asked the state's Public Service Commission to make sure Con Ed has a plan to handle any further heat waves.

In recent years, there has been an increasing number of adult children "boomeranging" back to the nest, mainly due to financial issues. They're returning at a time when parents are starting a new phase of their lives, so it sometimes feels unnatural to have their children back in the home. So what should you do if one of your children wants to come back home? Rabbi Shmuley offers some advice.
Rabbi Shmuley says the most important thing is that your child knows your home is always their home, no matter what his age. "I don't believe a child should ever be made to feel like they don't have a home," he says. "Parenting doesn't end when a child reaches the age of legal maturity—you are a parent for life." Another vital step is to find out why your child is coming back home. Is it because she can't make ends meet? Maybe it's a more serious issue involving dependency or an inability to hold down a job. "You have to inspire them to move on with their lives," Rabbi Shmuley says. "Not because you don't want them at home, but because you want them to maximize their potential. You want them to find their own environment, a circle of friends, a place where they can contribute." No matter what the reason, Rabbi Shmuley says it's essential to make your child feel welcome. "Remember, one of the reasons your child came home is because they're questioning their ability to go out in the world." Today's Shmuleyism "Parenting has no 'sell-by' date. Even when your kids are grown adults, they are still your responsibility. So if they have to move back in, welcome them, while lovingly encouraging them to always reclaim their independence."

Not about whether Marvel thinks we asked for it or not.
It says that someone pitched an idea that marvel thought would work with marvel now and a new number 1 book. More than that is speculation. Best not to present that as a fact stated by marvel.
Do you feel its permanent?But I have said I will try out #698 and see where I take it from there. But judging from what I know now? Not very keen on a Spidey that's not Peter Parker, though. And frankly, why should I???

Magazine capacity in IDPA SSP
Is it IDPA legal to use a pistol [Beretta 92A1] that comes with three 17 rd capacity magazines if they are only loaded for IDPA SSP competition with the IDPA legal number of rounds? What is that - 10 rds plus 1 in chamber?
Would it be IDPA legal to use Beretta 92 magazines of ten rds if the pistol was purchased with the 17 rd mags? Last edited by oboe; February 23, 2011 at 07:53 PM. |

Max capacity, irregardless of what the gun will hold, is 10 in the magazine and 1 in the chamber. I load my first magazine with 11 the rest with 10. That way you don't have to mess with a "BARNEY MAG". Be sure and clear that with your Range Officer or Match Director first.
I'm pretty sure you can use any high capacity mags as long as they are loaded to 10 rounds.

The Barney Magazine is the old clunker you use to load the chamber with so you can insert a 10 round magazine to get the gun fully loaded with the minimum of fumbling. But since you have full capacity magazines, it is easier to do as Waldog says and just load the first one with 11 and the rest with 10. If you have some 10 round magazines, they are fine, just use them on the reload.

Can't we just pull the slide open to stop, stick a cartridge into the chamber, hit the slide release and have one in the chamber? THEN insert the mag w/10 rds? Not that starting with 11 in the mag and jacking 1 into the chamber sounds easier.

On stages with an unloaded start, make sure you do not load your gun with the mag that contains eleven rounds. While it's OK to have a mag loaded with eleven rounds before the stage starts, when the timer goes off, no mag can contain more than ten.
The origin of "Barney mag" goes back to the 1960's Andy Griffith TV show, in which Sheriff Andy's deputy, Barney Fife, was allowed only one cartridge for his service revolver; the mag that has the one round that's used to top off the gun is thus the "Barney mag". |

Does an "unloaded start" mean not a round in the chamber? I guess I'll just need to see these events to understand all this.

An unloaded start usually means that the gun is completely unloaded when the GO buzzer sounds. You must insert a magazine, rack the slide and shoot the stage. You may NOT have 11 rounds in the magazine as you would for a "load and make ready" stage, 10 is the maximum in the magazine at the start.

Don't open slide drop in a bullet, release slide lock on the bullet in the chamber and then stuff a 10 round mag in the gun unless you like changing out extractors or replacing them. Always load the chamber from a magazine in the gun.

A "Barney Mag" is a reference to the 1960's Andy Griffith show. Andy was a
sheriff in a small town. His deputy was Barney Fife (Don Knotts). Barney was only allowed to have one cartridge. And, he had to keep it in his pocket. Barney had a bad habit of accidental discharges. So a "Barney Mag" holds one round that you keep in your pocket until you load your gun prior to starting a stage. Unless you have grey hair OR you watch AMC you really wouldn't know Barney Fife OOPs! I didn't see RickB's post. Sorry.

@oboe Molon Labe means "Come and get em"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molon_labe Lifted this right off Wikipedia : "In America, both the original Greek phrase and its English translation are often heard from pro-gun activists as a defense of the right to keep and bear arms. It began to appear on web sites in the late 1990s and early 2000s. And when the government of New Orleans defied Federal court orders to return weapons that had been seized during Hurricane Katrina, the phrase again gained popularity among the opponents of gun control." |

There's a great scene in The Shootist, where The Duke gives Little Opie Cunningham a shootin' lesson. They discuss whether five or six rounds should be loaded in a Peacemaker, and that's sort of on topic.

Carbonization of Wool: Many major processors of wool use a process called carbonization. Wool is put through a chemical bath of hydrochloric acid and other chemicals to clean the wool. This is different and in addition to a normal scouring of soap. Sulfuric Acid is also used in to carbonize wool specifically to remove dyes from recycled wool. This type of scouring has many downfalls. The chemicals alone are very harmful and we can only assume that residues are leftover in the finished wool product. This process also strips away all of the natural lanolin which keeps the wool soft and supple. The other major con to this process is that it makes wool itchy. Haven't you ever tried on a wool sweater that was so incredibly itchy scratchy you could not wait to take it off? This is due to carbonization, which rips off the tiny hair follicles on a strand of wool and makes them brittle and ragged causing the wool to be itchy. Some breeds of sheep have naturally itchy, rough, thick wool. These fleeces are used for making rugs and carpets instead of garments. In fact, each breed of sheep have different types of fleeces in terms of quality, length, thickness, softness…For example, a high-grade breed is Merino. This type of wool is very fine, long and soft and is mostly made into roving and used for spinning wool into yarn. In contrast, Katadin sheep have a very short, thick and burly fiber that has been traditionally used for rug making. What is particularly interesting about this breed is that they are self-shearing and shed their coats much like a dog or cat does during the hot summer months. This is unlike all other breeds of sheep which must have their coats sheared each year. Holy Lamb Organics uses a mixture of wool from the Black Faced Sheep breeds such as Suffolk. This wool has a medium length or staple. It is soft, lofty, has good bounce and resilience and therefore makes wonderful batting that is perfect for organic bedding. |

text: Palindromes opens with the dedication, "In loving memory of Dawn Wiener," a reference to the lead character in writer/director Todd Solondz' early feature, Welcome to the Dollhouse. Aviva has just attended Dawn's funeral. Dismayed by her older cousin's untimely death, Aviva asks her mother (Ellen Barkin) for assurance that she won't grow up to be like Dawn. Aviva only dreams of one thing -- having babies. Lots and lots of babies. As a teen, while Aviva has no interest in sex, she eagerly loses her virginity to Judah (Robert Agri), the son of a family friend in hopes of getting pregnant. She does, but her mother insists that she have an abortion. Worse yet, due to a complication during the procedure, the doctor is forced to perform a hysterectomy. Unaware of her medical condition, Aviva runs away from home and is picked up by a truck driver (Stephen Adly Guirgis) who has his way with her and then abandons her at a roadside motel. She wanders in the wilderness until she meets up with Jiminy (Tyler Maynard), a friendly boy who lives with the "Sunshine Family," a group of disabled kids cared for by the cheerful Mama Sunshine (Debra Monk). The kids are also a Christian singing group. Aviva is happy until she learns that Mama Sunshine and her husband are virulently anti-abortion and that they are planning to murder a doctor. Solondz cast eight different actors in the lead role, each of whom play Aviva at different points in the story. Matthew Faber reprises the role of Mark Wiener from Welcome to the Dollhouse. Palindromes was shot at Bard College in upstate New York, using many film students as crew. It was selected by the Film Society of Lincoln Center for inclusion in the 2004 New York Film Festival. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Residents in Lawrenceville woke up to little or no heat on Tuesday.The city says there's plenty of natural gas, but the high demand because of the bitterly cold weather taxed the system and caused low pressure in the lines.With record low temperatures outside, many residents had trouble heating their homes.Mayor Judy Jordan said that gas utilities crews were hustling to solve the problem. She stressed that the problem was low pressure and not a shortage in the gas supply. "Because everybody is turning it on at once and then the pressure decreases from the volume that is in the line," Jordan said.Jordan said she was hopeful that the problem wouldn't happen for another night."I am hopeful that it won't because I don't think the temperature is going to get quite so low," Jordan said. "We are monitoring the different pressure points that we have along the main to make sure that they are stable."The mayor said officials would re-ignite pilot lights at no cost.

The second week of the shutdown is, so far, looking a lot like Week 1. Even so, here are a few data points that might be worth your attention:
U.S. civilian defense workers heading back to work on Monday
As The Two-Way's Bill Chappell reported earlier, the Department of Defense is ordering most of its furloughed civilian employees — amounting to about 400,000 workers — back to work.

Good Monday morning, fellow political junkies. The partial shutdown of the government enters its second week and on Day 7 of the crisis neither side appears to have softened its position.
At least furloughed federal workers got the good news over the weekend that Congress had approved giving them backpay for the time they are locked out of their jobs.
Here are some of the more interesting news items with greater or lesser political import that caught my eye this morning.
October 6, 2013
This is from the Manager's Desk.
In preparation for the membership drive, I've been looking at the costs of the various programs on KGOU.
Of course, the morning, noon and evening week day programs are the most expensive – both to acquire from NPR and to add the local news and information. But the three together – Morning Edition, Here and Now and All Things Considered add up to about $20,000 per week.
Originally published on Sat October 5, 2013 10:45 am
The federal shutdown that has idled some 800,000 government workers could be over by now — if members of Congress were able to vote on a bill that doesn't include an attack on the new U.S. health care system, President Obama says. "There are enough votes in the House of Representatives to make sure that the government reopens today," he told The Associated Press Friday.
Originally published on Sat October 5, 2013 11:20 am
As the government shutdown enters its fifth day, House Republicans and Senate Democrats continue to spar over who's being more unreasonable in this fight.
GOP members now find themselves on the defensive, as they face questions about forgoing pay and forgoing staff during the widespread furloughs.
The Jacobson House in Norman is currently exhibiting work from the only female member of the Kiowa Five, Lois Bougetah Smoky. The Kiowa Five were a group of Kiowa artists that were brought to the University of Oklahoma by Oscar Jacobson, the first Director of the OU Art School.
The Oklahoma Department of Health says three more people have died from the West Nile virus.
The president of Hobby Lobby says the chain will start carrying Jewish merchandise in some of its stores after a New Jersey blogger complained about a lack of Hanukkah items.
Steve Green told The Associated Press that the chain is looking at carrying items this holiday season in stores near areas with large Jewish populations. He could not comment on what the items would be.
The change came about after blogger Ken Berwitz said a Hobby Lobby employee told him that the chain doesn't stock Jewish merchandise because the Green family is Christian.
The partial government shutdown entered its fourth day Friday, and President Obama canceled a planned 17-day Asia trip that was part of his administration's "pivot" to focus more on the rising economic powers in the region.
"This is not the first time he's had to cancel trips to Asia," says Rebecca Cruise, a comparative politics expert and the Assistant Dean of the University of Oklahoma's College of International Studies. "So this does send an interesting message to those leaders. Are we really going to be focusing our attention there, or are we really trying to get involved in the region, and try to exert our interest there vis-à-vis China? That has consequences."
Weeks after the attack on the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi that killed dozens of people, analysts are starting to make sense of the attack by the al-Shabaab Islamist group.
"Al-Shabaab has claimed this is in retaliation for Kenyan forces being in Somalia," says Rebecca Cruise, the Assistant Dean of the University of Oklahoma's College of International Studies. "Kenya can expect to see more unless they change their policies."
