Mass Outdoor Expo (MOE)
We are very thankful for the many volunteers and donations that make it possible to keep the
A Brief History: The Massachusetts Outdoor Expo, fondly referred to as The Big M.O.E., started out with a group of sportsmen and women who wanted to create an opportunity for kids of all ages to learn more about outdoor skills, wildlife and conservation. They approached the Hamilton Rod and Gun Club in Sturbridge to host the Mass. Outdoor Expo, due to its central location, facilities and the connections the group had to the club. An annual event was born!
A couple of years later, members of the Massachussetts Outdoor Expo group approached F.A.W.N.S., (Facts About Wildlife & Nature Society), a non-profit group founded in 1998 to promote the connection of people to the outdoors.
FAWNS was interested in promoting educational experiences focusing on the outdoors. A "natural" connection between the Expo group and FAWNS was obvious.
A partnership was formed and FAWNS became the organizing entity supporting the Big MOE Now in it's 18th year (2014) the Massachusetts Outdoor Expo continues to operate as a free family event. Its key function is to offer a first, safe, step into the outdoors guided by the Certified Instructors who oversee the hands-on activity stations.
The BIG MOE then goes on to provide our participants with the tools to learn about and connect with the many education programs, sporting clubs, and other community pathways to learning more about outdoor activities.
This is our second year going.. we absolutely love it! We brought some family members with us this year and they had a blast.. Thank you so much for all your hard work and planning! Can't wait until next year! The Halbedel Family SPENCER MA
We just had to write and give a huge shout out THANK YOU to all involved that allowed my family and I to enjoy the most awesome family day ever! This was our first time attending-we spent over 5 hours exploring-creating-learning-having fun with all the events offered-everyone we encountered was friendly-helpful and lots of smiles! :) We took my 6 year old grandson and he had a blast! Loved building his birdhouse-loved rock climbing-loved the ARCHERY-loved the mountain bike ride-loved making a turkey caller-loved throwing the ax, etc. etc. etc.... The grounds of Hamilton Rod and Gun Club are beautiful and it was fun exploring on such a beautiful day! We will recommend this event to everyone and appreciate the fact that the event is FREE-although-if you ever do have to charge admittance- we would gladly pay-(we did leave a donation in the jar) :)
Hello, I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful Sunday afternoon spent with my twins fishing for their 1st time at age 5. Actually my daughter caught her 1st fish on Sunday at your Big MOE event. We had such a blast and want to thank everyone that worked the event and yourself for a day full of events and for especially free. I have a few photos to share with you of my daughter Jenna as she was so excited to have her 1st catch. My twins also enjoyed the taxidermy station and posing with the black bear skin along with all the animals. It was a very well managed event for the family. I wasn't able to make it over to the rock climbing area and building of bird houses but I can guarantee I will be attending it again next year.
Thank you again - Joanne

Best Uses
adorable if bought to wear VERY loose. the fabric is lightweight and if this fits, it will pull apart at the seems. Suggestion: pass on this and buy a dress of better quality or go up a size.
Best Uses
This dress is as well made and as beautifully designed as dresses over twice the price. The fabric is light and perfect for summer. One change I made was that I tied the belt just under my bust for an empire look instead of how the model in the picture has it tied at her waist. It was very figure-flattering that way.

The Sherwoods, an a cappella mens chorus of Cornell University graduates from 1958 to 1974, are to perform at the Joslyn Center, 950 Main St., at 5 p.m. Monday, Oct. 21.
Its to be an upbeat, lighthearted, informal event presented by the Cambria Chorale.
The Sherwoods performances include humor, ballads and original, close-harmony arrangements. The Cambria Vocal Ensemble will open the program.
A $10 tax-deductible donation benefits the Cambria Youth Music Fund, which provides music lessons for students who show talent in vocal or instrumental music and need financial assistance to continue their musical training.
The singers gather two or three times a year to rehearse and perform, in locales from Boston, Seattle and Palm Springs to the Bahamas. This will be their fifth visit to the Central Coast.
Sherwoods singer Wayne Attoe of Cambria arranged the visit.
All the guys pay their own way for these gatherings, and often bring their wives, making it a family vacation as well, Attoe said. Its a big commitment of time and funds, but we all get a kick out of the camaraderie and performing.
The Sherwoods was founded in 1956 as part of a broad collegiate movement forming a cappella groups. The Sherwoods entertained at Cornell and other campuses, Caribbean resorts and on USO tours. The group has racked up more than five decades of entertaining, and The Sherwoods seven records have been remastered as CDs.
If you go
When: 5 p.m. Monday, Oct. 21.
Where: Joslyn Center, 950 Main St.
Donation: $10 tax-deductible donation benefits Cambria Youth Music Fund.

KANSAS CITY -- When the Tigers wrapped up their fourth straight win on Friday night, a 2-1 triumph over the Royals, manager Brad Ausmus was splayed out on the floor of the manager's office.
Ausmus could only endure two innings of Friday's game as a stomach illness that plagued him the whole day forced him to surrender the reigns to bench coach Gene Lamont for the final seven innings.
"It was rough yesterday," Ausmus said. "It just got worse and worse and worse as the day went on."
Ausmus still felt a bit under the weather before Saturday's game, but he was well enough to manage the game.
"[I felt] a little better this morning, and it's gotten a little better during the day today, too," Ausmus said.
V-Mart won't play, but will attend All-Star Game
KANSAS CITY -- Victor Martinez won't be playing in the All-Star Game, but he still plans on making the trip to Minneapolis for the week's festivities.
Martinez earned the honor of American League reserve, but a strained right side forced him out of Tuesday's Midsummer Classic at Target Field.
"He should go, I mean he was selected by his peers. He should definitely go," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said.
Ausmus officially ruled out Martinez for the final two games of the Royals series. That means Martinez's injury will have cost him the final eight games before the All-Star break.
Detroit starts the second half with a four-game series at home vs. the Indians. The club hopes Martinez can return in the opener on Friday.
"He did some upper body movement exercises yesterday, he felt fine doing them, we're hoping he's fine today, and if he is, I think the next step's going to be taking some swings off the tee, and/or soft toss tomorrow," Ausmus said before Saturday's game at Kauffman Stadium.

I have been wanting to fab a set of forks for my loader, but wasn't finding any "cheap" forklift forks to start the project.
My brother was up a couple weeks ago and we were talking and he said "why do they have to be those type forks...they are so overbuilt for your purposes, why not just use something else".
So, we start wandering around the place and found some more steel pipe like I used for my boom pole,
IH 1000 Loader Boom Pole
and decided to give that a shot.
A couple hours later we had the rough idea together.
It lifts really well and is very convenient.
All my implements and 'stuff' will now be put on pallets and I can move it all around without always getting on and off the loader.
I painted them white for high visibility.
Really wish my brother lived closer...who knows what kinds of projects we would be making.

By Adam Hetrick
Sarah Paulson ("American Horror Story"), Jack Noseworthy (Sweet Smell of Success), Danny Burstein (Golden Boy) and five-time Emmy Award winner Candice Bergen ("Murphy Brown") will be part of the Living for Today benefit concert, Back to the Drawing Board, which will take place Jan. 28 at Joe's Pub.
David Alpert (Best Man, Flashdance, Talley's Folly, Trip to Bountiful) conceived and directs the 7 PM concert that will feature a live band. Back to the Drawing Board promises a line-up of Broadway actors performing favorite songs from animated films. Jason Wetzel will musical direct.
Living for Today was originally set to take place Oct. 28, 2012, but Hurricane Sandy forced the presenters to postpone the concert. Organizers released the following statement to Playbill.com: "For those ticket holders who had purchased tickets to the originally scheduled date of Oct. 28, make sure to call Joe's Pub to confirm your seats are still being held. If you are unable to attend, please call Joe's Pub to release your seats."

Gordon (Flashdance), Autumn Hurlbert (Legally Blonde, Little Women), Tess Soltau (Addams Family, Into the Woods), Hannah Elless (Godspell), Tony Yazbeck ("Smash," Chicago, Gypsy), Steve Rosen (Spamalot, Guys & Dolls), Courtney Reed (In the Heights, Mamma Mia!, Aladdin), Cassandra Sandberg, Rheaume Crenshaw and the men of "Shubert Alley" (Jamison Scott, Patrick Massey and Kevin Massey).
Living for Today was created in honor of the late Gilana Shira Alpert by her brother, David Alpert. The Gilana Shira Alpert Fund was established in 2007 following the loss of Alpert at the age of 26. The fund, which has raised over $22,000, supports organizations Gilana was passionate about, including equality advocacy, sex education, theatre studies and Holocaust awareness.
Tickets are priced $20 and $75 (VIP with premium seating, post-show reception and gift bag). There is a $12 food and drink minimum; reservations are encouraged. Visit JoesPub. Joe's Pub is located within the Public Theater at 425 Lafayette Street.

It pulls more moisture out than old one
Brooklyn, NY
via sears.com
Just purcharsed this for my finished basement. My doors were starting to stick even though i installed them properly. After just one day of operation this unit took out so much water from the air i was really amazed. Now after about one week it barely turns on at 50% humidity setting, this thing works awesome! I just hope it doesnt burn out on me like i have heard some units do after a few years of operation but oh well nothing lasts for ever...

It was good for the basement.

This dehumidifier is a replacement for a 10 year old Kenmore. It is a bit smaller but works just as great. Very quiet. Two thumbs up.
Hamburg, NY
via sears.com
I have been using this for about three weeks, during an unusually damp Spring. It took a few days to get a sense of just where the humidity setting should be, but now I just leave it alone and it operates just fine. It is also very quiet. I used the adaptor and hooked it up to a garden hose that empties into a floor drain, so I don't have to keep emptying the container. I did need a small piece of tubing (about 3/8 inch), which was not included.

It is very quiet and does the job. only complaint is you sometimes have to fiddle with the bucket to get it in straight.

It is so quiet and takes care of the moisture problem in my basement. Love the "reminder" to clean the filter.
Holliston, MA
via sears.com
Need a dehumidifier to reduce humidity in the cellar. This dehumidifier replaced a Kenmore that I had purchased 10 years ago. The design seems improved with digital read-out, etc. so I hope this one lasts even longer. So far there has been little humidity, but we will see in the summer how well it works.
Harrisburg, PA
via sears.com
Runs very quiet. Only complaint is the difficulty in putting the water tub back in. It binds and is just not easy to get in.
Walker, WV

seems to be working very well. old basement had way too much moisture from melting snow. dried out in one week . much better for grandma with asthma.

On Thursday, a report emerged that the Jets would be willing to give Darrelle Revis a contract worth up to $100 million. The report mentioned nothing about guaranteed money, which is what really matters in the NFL.
Apparently, Revis doesn't impressed by a $100 million proposal.
But Revis laughed off that report to friends, pointing out that NFL contracts are not guaranteed and that the only thing that matters -- at least in pro football negotiations -- is money paid up front in the form of bonuses and other guarantees.
That's because non-guaranteed contracts are essentially useless in the NFL.
The NY Post goes on to report that Revis feels the Jets leaked the information about the $100 million contract. Apparently, it was done to curry some favor from the fans, who have been chanting "Please pay Revis!" at practices recently.
People close to Revis said he considers the Jets to be the source of that leaked report and that he feels it was yet another attempt by the team to make itself look good while making Revis appear greedy.
The Jets denied leaking the information, releasing a statement last night that said, "Throughout these negotiations, we have expressed our appreciation and respect for Darrelle as a player and a person, as well as our commitment to finding a resolution that works for both sides."
This can't be too good for future negotiations.

With regard to Anne Child's letter on the hillside initiative, I found it quite divisive. It makes one wonder if all 5,000 plus residents Anne says signed both petitions ever made an effort to bring the issue to the Council before signing the petition. Why make the claim that the Council is stubbornly resisting? Let's not be so divisive. As citizens, we need to work _with_ our local government and each other, not point fingers. The fact remains that after some scrutiny of the hillside initiative it is vague and has the potential to negatively impact such citizen-approved projects as the Happy Valley bypass road. This is certainly an unintended consequence that is typical of good intentioned initiatives (look at Prop 98 for example) and I highly doubt this is what the 5,000 or so petition signers would have wanted to happen.
on May 30, 2008 at 10:23 am
Stacey, I would suggest that the council needs to work _with_ our citizens. As a citizen, I did not know about all these closed door meetings taking place. If this was four years in the making, how come we did not know how to participate during those four years? By the time I heard about it, the council seems have made up their mind already and was just going through the motions of a public hearing.
I did not realize the citizens approved the Happy Valley bypass road. I also heard the city had a "blue ribbon committee" working on changing the location of the road. But once again, nobody told me as a citizen how to get involved.
Pleasanton has traditionally been slow-growth and concerned about developments that affect traffic, trees, etc. and we elected people who we thought had our same values. I know many people I talk with are as disapointed as I am in this current council not being inclusive. What really became the clincher for me was members of our council waving signs saying "do not sign the initiative". That was very arrogant. I have never seen council members doing something like that before.
As for the initiative, the hilside initiative is not vague. It is needed because our current council has choosen to interpret any plan they want they want, ilregardless of how previous councils or commissions have voted on in these protection measures. I believe if the citizens thought the council was respresenting them well there would not be the need for initiatives. Having an initiative and a referendum signed by about 5,000 people each within a short amount of times seems more like a referendum on our council. What is scarier is I don't think our council realizes this. Instead of the council just attacking the messengers of the initiative and referendum and saying they as "bad", they should be working with the community. They refuse to do so.
Well my 3 minutes are up so I had better stop talking...

This is the clincher for me. I never understand this excuse. The City publishes public notices. It is on their webpage. It is in the PW. There is an email notification list you can sign up for. Specific issues get sent directly in the mail to impacted neighbors. I agree there is room for improvement, but if someone doesn't know how to participate that is out of their own ignorance. This excuse is really poor and definitely not a reason to support clipboard politics.

Nothing could be further from the truth. There are both federal and state laws that make using or sharing prescription drugs against the law. If you take a pill that was prescribed to someone else or give that pill to another person, it is not only harmful, it is illegal.
Federal and State Drug LawsPrescription drugs are considered "controlled substances." The federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act makes it clear that the only legal way to access prescription drugs is to have a doctor's prescription. An excerpt:
...No controlled substance in schedule II, which is a prescription drug as determined under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.), may be dispensed without the written prescription of a practitioner.
Even Doctors Can Break the LawSometimes even when a doctor does prescribe a drug, it is illegal to do so. For example, if a doctor writes a prescription for too many pills - either knowing that they are going to be resold or knowing that the amount is way too much medication for a single patient - that too can be a crime.
That's why the doctors who prescribed drugs for Anna Nicole Smith face criminal charges for conspiring to illegally provide drugs to someone they knew was an addict. Smith died as a result of having a combination of different drugs in her system.
Possession With Intent to DistributeSome states have laws making it illegal for you to be in possession of your own prescription drugs under certain circumstances. Most states have laws that make it illegal to carry around pills that are not in their labeled prescription bottle.
In other words, if you are carrying around pills that your doctor prescribed to you, but you have them loose in your pocket or purse, that is illegal. The presumption is that you are carrying them in that manner so that you can distribute them.
Just As Illegal As WeedNo matter what your middle school or high school friends tell you, using and sharing prescription drugs is just as illegal as possession of marijuana. There is a good reason for it - taking drugs not prescribed for you is very dangerous.
Not only can taking prescription medications make you very sick, it can land you in jail. Just because you got them out of your mom's medicine cabinet doesn't make them legal.

Omegathon born: Behind the scenes of one of gaming's greatest spectacles
"We went to him," Penny Arcade's Robert Khoo told me when I asked how Spy Party was selected as the final round of this year's Omegathon. "That's the way it always is." It takes a certain type of game to make a good Omegathon event: It needs to be competitive, interesting visually and, above all, fun to watch.
It's not often that you get an email asking if your game can be the main event at one of the industry's largest annual shows, and Spy Party creator Chris Hecker didn't have to think about it.
"I said something along the lines of 'Hell yes,'" Hecker told the Report. But it's not easy to put an event of this size together, or to keep it quiet. This is how the final round of the Omegathon goes down.
"Get him and bring him here"
The Spy Party booth was busy throughout most of the show, and was staffed by community members who knew the game inside and out. It was my job to grab Hecker and transport him, along with the laptops needed to play the game, to the theater without anyone knowing what we were up to.
When anyone asked questions, I told them I was getting a private demo of the game.
I was still paranoid about being spotted, and Hecker recognized, while walking over to the theater. In fact we rejected the idea of Robert Khoo picking up Hecker in case anyone was able to put together what was happening; he's much more recognizable than I am on the show floor.
We also needed someone with an All-Access badge to make sure he was able to get behind the scenes of the theater in plenty of time to get everything set up, and this gave me an excuse to follow the event's final moments before the show.
Jerry Holkins and other behind-the-scenes crew look on as Hecker describes how to show the game on the theater's big screens. The original idea was to flip between the Spy and Sniper's screen from time to time to give the audience both views, but that was ultimately rejected in favor of putting both screens side by side.
No one was interested in relying on an Internet connection, so Hecker came up with a solution to use hacked-together LAN support. "It's crazy, that's why I needed to set it up myself. If I got hit by a bus, it's all over, you'd need to pick another game," Hecker said. "No one but me could set this up… it's cobbled together, running a local version of the Internet."
The production crew discusses how the event will play out, and you can see the amount of systems and displays it takes to keep everything up and running. Chris Hecker watched the matches from this space.
The monitor near the middle of the screen shows every feed from the cameras on the floor, allowing whoever was in charge of the final production to show the best possible view of the action on the big screens.
"The worst-case scenario is that one player will have played the game, and the other hasn't. In that case, they'll just be mowed down," Hecker said. He brought up the idea of allowing a handicapping system in case one player was familar with the game, but Robert Khoo rejected the idea.
"No," Khoo said. "Let him be mowed down." This is the Omegathon. An omnivorous appetite for games will only work in your favor.
The empty theater, as the game is assembled and tested.
Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins practice the game. They'll play the first round in front of the crowd after Hecker explains to everyone how Spy Party is played.
The game is only one part of the event, and stagecraft is an important piece of the puzzle. These Enforcers actually played the part of the cocktail party guests in the background of the stage, making it look like the players were actually inside the world of Spy Party.
Travis Eriksen and Angela Thurston, the "Omegatechs," pushed for this bit of theatricality. "The first theatrics, Robert was like no, we're not doing that," Eriksen explained. "We're doing the tux reveal and then we'll walk them out. I said this was better." His instincts were right, the audience went crazy when the real-life Spy Party set was revealed.
"They looked marvelous, milling around," Jerry said after the event.
Chris Hecker explains the game to the two final Omeganauts. They may look relaxed, but the grand prize was an all-expenses paid trip to Tokyo for two. The stakes were high.
The calm before the storm. The crowd is in the building, and the performers are safely hidden behind the curtain. At this point Mike Krahulik begins jumping up and down to get his energy up for the big reveal.
"For 30 or 60 seconds, this was him," photographer Dabe Alan said, pantomiming a kind of jumping, hand moving action. "Jerry was pacing in place."
The theater, filled with people. Mike and Jerry came out in jumpsuits to applause. "Can we get some class up in this motherfucker?" Jerry asked, and they stripped down, revealing matching tuxes before revealing the final game: SPY PARTY. The crowd went crazy, and the live-action Spy Party scene was finally revealed.
It was hard to see from some of the seats, but in an added bit of fun Penny Arcade placed someone in the stands to point a laser pointer at random people on stage to mimic an actual round of the game.
The first match went well, and Chris Hecker did a good job of explaining the game's mechanics to the crowd. "That's from four PAX's, year after year, we have that nailed," he told me later. After giving so many demos to so many people who may not have heard about the game, Hecker has the patter down cold.
Eriksen flips the coin to determine who goes first. You can see one of the pipe-cleaner sculptures that served as the statues from the game in the foreground. The other one, not pictured, was a replica of a Deep Crow.
Penny Arcade culture, in-jokes, and Easter Eggs often litter these events.
It's customary for Mike and Jerry to taunt the final players with jokes about their play, but this was deemed inappropriate in a game this tense. The two men walked the stage, however, and did their best to hide their reactions so as not to tip off the players.
Things are beginning to heat up. During the final round, Nantucket had a lead of four to three, and decided to try a risky strategy: He would do nothing.
The computer would retain control of his character, making his movements impossible to spot. The goal was to run down the clock, and try to get the sniper to fire at a random target in panic.
"I knew he'd take a shot, and I just banked on it," Nantucket told me later. "I knew it would be just the ballsiest thing. And he would think that I wouldn't do it."
There was some fear on Hecker's part that the audience could yell out information that would help a player on the stage. The capacity crowd had all the information needed to sway the outcome, but stayed nearly silent through the entirety of the event.
"That person would get destroyed," Mike told me when I asked if he was scared about anyone tipping the game.
Jerry had reassured Hecker of the same thing before the event began. "They will be very, very good," he promised.
Just like that, it was over. The Omeganaut took the shot, hit a random person at the party, and Nantucket won the event. "At 30 seconds the timer begins to beep," Eriksen explained to me. "He said he got nervous and felt he had to take the shot."
"If he had not fired, he would have won," Nantucket explained.
Nantucket celebrates his win as Jerry looks on. "It was the perfect play," Jerry said to me after the event.
The crowd went crazy when the incorrect shot was taken, and Nantucket was overjoyed that the strategy worked. He later said that he even twiddled his thumbs under the table while holding the controller to give the illusion that he was moving the character around the screen.
Chris Hecker comes on stage to congratulate the winner. The entire event, complete with costumed performers, multiple rounds of the game, and a giant, appreciative audience, went off without a single technical issue.
Ladies and gentleman, your 2013 Omeganaut, excited about his trip to Tokyo.
"I thought 'oh my god, I just won,' and I put my hands up," he said, describing the moment he heard the sniper's shot and knew the laser wasn't on his head. A few minutes after our interview he walked out of the now-empty theater.
The second-place winner is guaranteed a spot in next year's Omegathon, where the whole process will begin again.

CHICAGO, Ill. -- Sunday's Earth Day celebrations sent one Illinois politician off the deep end, literally.
State Treasurer Dan Rutherford donned a wet suit at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium on Sunday, and helped clean a 90,000 Caribbean reef that is home to more than 400 tropical Caribbean reef animals, such as stingrays, eels, and yes, sharks.
Afterward, Rutherford said he didn't know which was worse, swimming with sharks, or working in Springfield.
"The sharks in the ocean are abundantly respectful. They have a purpose in life. Now, the sharks in the state capitol, I've got a little different interpretation of, and I'm not sure if they have a direct purpose in life, but the fact is they are there too. I've learned to swim with sharks at both the state capital and in the ocean today," said Rutherford.
Rutherford went on to say that the Shedd has a soy palamor roof on it, which is made out of soybeans from Illinois.

Addressing the Challenges of Non-Native English Speakers
Student Success Center 100, 12:30-1:30 PM
As part of International Education Week, we would like to take a look at the challenges facing non-native English speakers on our campus. One of those challenges, knowing where to go on campus for support, is often complicated by misguided information. Students are being directed to campus resources that do provide help for struggling students, but not the help that particular student needs most,
or not the help he is eligible for,
or not the help that will guide her future learning.
Together in one panel, representatives from The Writing Center, ESL Support, The Reading Study Center, The Center for Academic Resources, The Multicultural Retention Program, and Project Success, will dispel the myths of college-level learning as a non-native speaker of English here at UW Oshkosh. We will facilitate the expression of challenges for both the student and the professor, encourage the identification of what "good English" can look like, and help recognize the value non-native English speakers can bring to any class.
Mathematics Learning in China: Observations from Study Abroad
Swart 217, 5:00-6:00 PM

Indians Short Hops: Game 6
Tribe out of it early as Carmona's ALCS struggles continue
BOSTON -- Fielding the Indians' 12-2 Game 6 loss to the Red Sox on a short hop.In < 25 words ...
J.D. Drew hit a grand slam in the first before the Sox broke it open with six runs in the third to force Game 7. Frozen moment
The Indians trailed, 4-1, when they started the third inning with singles by Trot Nixon and Casey Blake. But Grady Sizemore and Asdrubal Cabrera both flied out, and then Curt Schilling got the struggling Travis Hafner on a grounder to first to end the inning. Big number
12.67 -- That's the combined ERA of both Carmona and C.C. Sabathia over their four starts in the ALCS. Game balls
Trot Nixon
Nixon got another start in right field and had a couple of singles in three at-bats.
Aaron Laffey
Three balls. The Red Sox had a nine-run lead when he came in but he at least pitched some innings and kept the Indians from going heavily into their bullpen.
Rafael Perez
Zero balls. The Indians left-hander allowed three runs, got one batter out and has a 45.00 ERA in the ALCS.
Sense of October
The Indians were trailing, 10-1, in the bottom of the fourth but Sizemore was still going all-out, making a terrific diving catch in the right-center gap on a drive hit by Jacoby Ellsbury.
Victor Martinez
Comment: Martinez made it interesting for a moment with a leadoff home run in the second.
Fausto Carmona
Comment: It's been a rough ALCS and a tough learning experience for the young Indians right-hander.
"When you're in a fist fight and your back is to the wall, that's a pretty good position to be in. The Red Sox were there the past few days and now both teams are." -- Nixon
Next step:
The Indians will send Jake Westbrook to the mound to face Daisuke Matsuzaka in Game 7 of the ALCS at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday at Fenway Park. Westbrook won Game 3 for the Indians.

For all those Mariah Carey fans who have just been anxiously waiting for the singer to release her next album, we're happy to tell you, the wait is over.
Today (Feb. 10), Mariah announced that her new album, The Art of Letting Go, will be out May 6 with a video that sums up her total diva dominance.
The clip shows off her many magazine covers—Vogue, Billboard, Elle, Rolling Stone—before ticking off the long list of records she's broken since she first hit the scene in 1990 with her self-titled debut.
With nine platinum albums under her belt, 200 million records sold and more No. 1 hits than any other solo artist, Mariah more than earns the title of "Most Successful Female Artist of All Time."

If you were able to make it all way through the nearly 2-minute clip, you were rewarded with the announcement that Mariah's new single, "You're Mine (Eternal)" is set to drop this Wednesday (Feb. 12). With its candy conversation heart-filled album cover, we'll assume it's a love song you'll want to have on repeat this Valentine's Day.
Last year, Mariah gave fans a taste of her new album with her Miguel-assisted single, "#Beautiful," and the very Mariah ballad, "The Art of Letting Go."
Carey's new album was originally due out last July, but the singer delayed its release and then spent the rest of 2013 recovering from a shoulder injury she suffered filming a music video last summer.

Five-year-old girl rescued from Thamesmead flat fire
9:21am Wednesday 16th January 2013 in Greenwich news By Alan Woods
A FIVE-YEAR-OLD girl was rescued from a Thamesmead flat after fire broke out yesterday evening.
Ten firefighters were called to the flat in Fleming Way at 6:45pm and the young girl was treated at the scene by paramedics for the effects of smoke inhalation.
A woman who escaped before firefighters arrived at the flat was also treated for smoke inhalation.
The fire caused only a small amount of damage to the flat inside.
Two fire engines from Plumstead fire station attended the scene and had the flames under control by 7:13pm.
London Fire Brigade says the cause of the fire is under investigation.

And here we find ourselves, wrapping up the last four shows of summer tour proper, just six episodes since Bangor. Joining me tonight are panelist Chris Glushko, and past guests of the show, Steve Paolini and Chris Bertolet. We recorded this one late on Friday evening and we assure you it won't be without some charm. High praises were spoken of the three day BGCA run with a few songs being notable enough to get ranked. Add to that some fine CK5 work and a stellar Hood at the Bowl and Phish ended summer tour on a very positive note. We squeezed twelve clips into this episode and even at that number many more ended up on the cutting room floor.
We hope you've enjoyed following along with Type II Cast this summer and we're looking forward to Dick's in just under two weeks. See you guys there.

The Bruins, despite providing the NBA with a pair of lottery picks and a second-round selection, continue to look like the class of the conference. And who's going to doubt taskmaster Ben Howland? He supplemented his roster with a pair of McDonalds All-American guards, Jrue Holiday and Malcolm Lee. Darren Collison and Josh Shipp both are back for their senior seasons, likely hoping to improve on inconsistent junior campaigns. The frontcourt, particularly in the area of rebounding, is a little iffy, although James Keefe looked solid during the NCAA tournament.WWL's "Pac-10 Shootaround": Early Look At 08-09 Season

Alberta (Canada)
1.78/5 rDev -5.8%
473ml can, a surprisingly even twoonie at a local likka mart. Disconcerting how a company ran by people of South Asian extraction insist on using crappy white people tropes in their low-brow advertising. Oh, right, because it fucking works (hangs head in shame).
This beer pours a hazy medium golden straw colour, with three fingers of puffy, bulbous eggshell white head, which leaves some decent cobwebbed lace around the glass as it lazily recedes. Huh.
It smells of pale cereal grains, melted plastic, corn sugar, and grassy (of the dead, rotting sort) hops. The taste is sickly sweet, grainy corn mash, like bastardized Corn Flakes, some rather overripe citrus fruitiness, and weedy, floral (those weirdly unpleasant, musty kind) hops.
The bubbles are pretty innocuous, the body a bolstered medium weight, as the corn sugar is well known for such effects, and equally smooth, in a not so small vein straight from brewing and marketing hell. It finishes sweet, weirdly heavy on the booze perception side of things, the cheap-ass malt and hops still lingering, but in a thankfully (I think?) manner.
Gah. Another bottom-shelf malt liquor masquerading as something it is not. Blond ale? Really? Even I am not generally fond of that style, but since it doesn't say 'ale' anywhere on the can, I'm not going to dumb down or muddle the classification any further. As the ABV is generally too low for you know what, well, I cast thee off to AAL purgatory.

A Bloody Good Time 02.21.13: Top 10 Buffyverse Characters
Posted by
Joseph Lee
on 02.21.2013
From Angel and Wesley Wyndham-Pryce to Spike, Buffy Summers, Faith and more, 411's Joseph Lee counts down the top 10 characters from
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Opening Logo courtesy of Benjamin J. Colón (
Soul Exodus
Welcome to A Bloody Good Time.
Close to this time last year, I ranked the top ten episodes of both
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
. They actually went over quite well, considering how passionate
and Joss Whedon fans tend to be.
I feel like they may not be as forgiving this week, as there's a lot of beloved characters over the course of the show. I might have been able to pull off a top twenty this time, but that would just be a lazy excuse to show love to all of the majors without offending anyone. Instead, I'm going to post my personal ten favorites. There may be some shocking inclusions and there may be some glaring omissions. If you have your own choices, please feel free to share them. There's not much else to say, so let's set the mood with
some music
, and countdown the
Top Ten Buffyverse Characters
: Mayor Richard Wilkins III (Harry Groener)
Confession time: The Mayor is my favorite pure villain in the entire Buffyverse. Angelus is forced within Angel and both Spike and Faith were redeemed so they do not count. The Mayor is just absolute pure evil and at the same time he's also really funny. He also has a soft spot for Faith, which makes him more vulnerable and empathetic. At no point do we want him to win, but the moments he and Faith share together make their arc in season three particularly interesting.
A lot of villains come back in cameos over the course of the series, most notably at the start of season seven when they all appear before Spike. There's another moment I was more excited for when The First appears as the Mayor to Faith and it's like old times. He's the perfect example of a character you hate to love. He wants to rule the world and kill all your heroes, sure, but he's so gosh-darned upbeat about it. He's not dull like Adam and he's not one-dimensional like The Master. He's a fleshed out big bad that made every moment he was on screen a delight to watch.
: Rupert Giles (Anthony Stewart Head)
Giles doesn't really get a chance to shine until season two. Until then, he's just the stuffy British guy that orders Buffy around, but really has a heart of gold, which is common stereotype in TV and movies. Then season two came along and we found out he used to be a rotten guy with the nickname of Ripper. Then Jenny Calendar is killed and he attacks Angelus, the untouchable evil force, with a flaming baseball bat. Giles, of all people, does the most damage to Angelus of the whole season to that point.
From then on it was just a matter of when we would get to see Giles do his thing again. He's still the stuffy British guy, but he can still hold his own. He also loosens up over the course of the series and becomes not just a mentor but a member of the
family. He's a good character because he sheds what could have been a very typical role and becomes something more.
: Faith Lehane (Eliza Dushku)
Of course you can't talk about the Mayor (and I didn't) without bringing up Faith. Faith was already on a bad road before she joined up with season three's villain, but he definitely didn't help matters. Joss Whedon has said in the past that Faith is what Buffy could have been without the right people in her life. She lets the power go to her head and it corrupts her, causing her to kill innocents and alienate everyone around her. When she leaves the
series for good (until a return in season seven), those fans still saw her as a villain with some issues.
It was only when she appeared on
that she got her redemption and was put back on the road to being a force of good. She hates herself for what she's become and sees a common bond in Angel that allows her to get the help she needs. This leads to season four when she returns to help restore Angel's soul as a sort of return favor. I liked Faith because she's kind of a badass, but she's flawed and that usually makes the best characters.
: Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar)
Here is where everyone calls for my head. Buffy is not my favorite character of the Buffyverse and she's not even in my top five. I'll tell you why right now. Due to the nature of the show and her powers, she's kind of a
Mary Sue
at times. It's her show, so of course she's going to save the day. If she dies, of course she's going to get brought back. She overcomes every obstacle and while she has trouble at times, she gets through it and eventually wins.
That's why she's not higher than this, but I do still like her. I like Sarah Michelle Gellar's performance as the character. I like the fact that she often has a lot of snarky lines for any situation. She also experiences a lot of growth that a lesser series wouldn't give her. She is very powerful, but she also learns what that power means and how she should best use it. She goes through some really bad times and it changes her into a more mature individual. While at times her character can get on my nerves, she's still a good character and that's why she makes the list. Not only that, but one of the shows was named after her. It seems really stupid to not include her at all.
: Willow Rosenberg (Alyson Hannigan)
In a way,
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
is just as much about Willow as it is Buffy. Willow starts out completely helpless, begins to use her computer skills to her advantage, gains power as a witch, loses control of that power and then eventually regains control and masters it. Willow ranks over Buffy because I think she has more growth and changes as a character. Even as she gains this phenomenal power I think Willow is easier to relate to than most characters. There's also of course personal preference.
Unlike some people, I actually quite enjoy season six of
, because it's devoted to Willow. She becomes addicted to her magic, loses everything and then loses herself before the one true thing in her life is able to talk her down through the power of love. Okay, it's slightly cheese, but par for the course on a show like this. It's also a very powerful moment on the show and one that makes up for whatever flaws people claim the last two season of the show have.
: Spike (James Marsters)
The rest of this list skews towards
a bit, so I'm warning you now. I prefer
as a show but I prefer
's characters overall.
spent most of his time on
where he went from a cool villain to comic relief to flawed hero. He's run the gamut of character types in the entire show and is one of the most beloved of everyone. There are some people who probably think he should be #1. I like the next four more, but I wouldn't argue with you too much on that.
It's not the fact that he looks like Billy Idol (which Idol actually stole from him, for the record) and speaks with an accent. He's cool because of his devil-may-care attitude and the fact that every time he gets knocked down he gets back up. Even when he doesn't have a soul he seeks redemption. At first its for Buffy but later I think its for himself. Angel had to have his soul forced on him, Spike sought one out. I think that speaks volumes for this character.
: Xander Harris (Nicholas Brendon)
Xander could have easily been nothing more than comic relief. In fact, for the first season that is all he really was. A comedic character who had the hots for Buffy. As the show progressed he grew into more of the heart of the team. He never gets any flashy powers and he's more likely to get beaten up than save the day. But he's always willing to fight and help out in any way we can. Especially when almost everyone else has a set of skills except for him, he takes pride in being normal and bringing some humanity to the group.
There's never really any big stories that center around Xander outside of his relationship with Anya. He's the very definition of supporting character. I think that's why he works so well. He never gets to dominate the show or wear out his welcome. Not that he could, because he's incredibly funny and provides some of the most entertaining moments of the show. Being normal also gives him perspective, and makes him the one who sees everything. This of course leads to a horrifying moment in season 7, but we'll ignore that.
: Wesley Wyndham-Price (Alexis Denisof)
A common theme with many of these characters is growth and change. Wesley goes through a lot of change in this show, so much so that he's almost unrecognizable in
season five, compared to when he first debuted in
season three. When he arrived, he was a dorky replacement watcher that I didn't even like all that much. In fact I wouldn't have minded if he never showed up again.
But then he did show up again on
and grew into a complete badass who is incredibly smart and capable. The best part about this is that it doesn't happen spontaneously. He's still very dorky when he starts out on
and it takes time for him to become better at his job and eventually get so good that he could probably take out everyone else on the team if he really wanted to. The only downside to this is that he became more and more of a sad individual as the series continued.
: Cordelia Chase (Charisma Carpenter)
In my opinion, no character had more growth over the course of both
shows than Cordelia. When she first showed up she was vapid, shallow and only out for herself. On
, she does grow into a more friendly person to the Scooby gang, but is more or less the same only nicer. That's not necessarily a bad thing, considering she was always a supporting character and if she was going to become say, a main character, she'd need more development.
That's what happens on
. She becomes a main character and by actually getting a purpose (her visions) and a stable life, she begins to grow into a strong woman. If we're talking Buffyverse relationships, I actually prefer Cordelia/Angel to Buffy/Angel because I think the relationship is earned more. The latter relationship is because Angel was obsessed with Buffy and it grew from there. Angel and Cordelia was mostly unrequited and grew over time as they went from friends to more. It's a relationship that never would have worked on
because Cordelia wasn't three dimensional yet.
: Angel (David Boreanaz)
He had three seasons of
and then five on his own show, making him one of the characters who appeared in the most episodes overall. I like Angel the best because he's a flawed hero, and I'm a sucker for that sort of thing. Angel is a vampire with a soul, a concept that was copied later for Spike but it was originated here. He also has several different skills over the course of the show that make him the best. He can be funny when required, kick butt when necessary and have strong dramatic moments when needed.
Another reason he's my favorite is because of when he turns into Angelus, who is my choice for the best villain of the series. Angelus is absolutely evil, and if he never had a soul he probably couldn't be stopped. He has no boundaries and takes complete joy in hurting and killing others. That's what makes his moments so fun to watch, because he's the type of villain you love to hate. It's awesome watching David Boreanaz have fun in the role, but as a fan you want that soul back in him so he can go back to being Angel. Two sides of the same character and both are really great to watch. He's two characters in one!

Owned by wonderfully friendly, welcoming, laid back Tongans, Vini and Liz, keleti will give you a great taste of Tonga. Situated above tidal rock pools with patches of beach where you can swim and snorkel (not a lot to see) at high tide or watch the whales. Keleti is "tired" however the staff more than make up for that. Fales are clean and come with ensuite although hot water is variable ie. hot/cold/hot/cold. Tea and coffee making facilities in your room but remember to ask for milk which will be given generously, just forgotten. Bar fridge in your room and fan. Restaurant and bar available on site where the food is excellent and all is very reasonably priced. It's open pretty much whenever you want to eat/drink.
The staff will take you anywhere you want to go, even give you an island tour or take you to a Tongan feast on Wednesdays or Friday night. Vini dropped us in town, Nuku'alofa, a good 20 minutes or more away, then retuned to pick us up later. He also collected us on our arrival from the airport at 11.30 pm. There may or may not have been a charge for this but it was all so cheap it didn't matter.
The ocean absolutely roars here, louder than other places we stayed. Everything is covered in salt and damp.
We stayed at Keleti our first 2 nights and our last and if I were lucky enough to get to Tonga again I'd do the same as it's nearer the airport although they drive so slow in Tonga the trip still takes ages.
I've given Keleti a rating of 4 because the staff are so great but don't expect anything swank - this is for those who want a cultural experience and no stars :)

Budding Wirral performers to appear in 'epic' production of Cats
Updated 11:52am Tuesday 26th February 2013 in News By Craig Manning, Chief Reporter
YOUNG performers from Wirral are among thousands taking part in the country's largest ever performance of Andrew Lloyd-Webber's classic Cats.
Stagecoach Theatre Arts is marking its 25th anniversary by staging what promises to be epic production of the world-renowned musical at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham on Sunday, March 24.
The group was given exclusive permission by Lord Lloyd-Webber's Really Useful Group for the extensive arena production, with thousands of performers from Stagecoach schools nationally and internationally taking part.
The main cast will comprise 50 specially selected dancers and 500 singers in a grand choir from 13 Stagecoach schools.
An additional 2500 young performers from a further 47 schools throughout the UK, Malta, Germany and Ireland have been allocated a selection of the Cats score to bring their own individual creative dances to life within the vast arena.
These students will be supported by a virtual choir of international students from Stagecoach schools in Canada, Germany, Gibraltar, Ireland, South Africa, Spain and USA, visible on large screens.
An orchestra will play the famous score under the direction of world renowned conductor, Paul Leddington Wright.
Lord Lloyd Webber said: "I'm absolutely thrilled that so many young people will be able to take part in this very special performance of Cats.
"Happy 25th Birthday Stagecoach and thank you for giving your students the opportunity to perform the show in such a spectacular way."
Cats received its world premiere in London in 1981 and has been seen by millions of people all over the world and translated into many languages including German, Hungarian, Norwegian, Finnish, Dutch, Swedish, French, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Korean and Mandarin.
Veronica Bennetts, director of education for Stagecoach, said: "We are honoured to have been allowed to perform Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical and are hugely excited to celebrate our quarter-century anniversary in this way.
"To bring together so many students from across the UK, and globally, has truly been team work on a vast scale and the final outcome will be something to remember forever.
"T.S. Eliot's poetry combined with Andrew Lloyd Webber's music has been inspirational and the students have been in their element in rehearsals singing, dancing and acting.
"As it has not been feasible for many of our international schools to physically be at the performance they have submitted clips which are being made into a video collage to be played at the live event."
Tickets or more details are from stagecoach.co.uk/cats or 0844 5814962.

EPA Expected to Have RFS Waiver Decision Soon
The Environmental Protection Agency missed the deadline for making a decision on the request to waive the Renewable Fuel Standard. But EPA said this week that it is completing its review and analysis of the RFS waiver requests and will have a decision shortly. The National Pork Producers Council is one group that says the EPA should grant a waiver of the federal requirement for the production of corn ethanol. In comments submitted to the EPA - the group said the mandate - coupled with the summer drought - is causing severe economic harm to pork producers. Growth Energy - however - said there is no justification for an RFS waiver. Growth Energy CEO Tom Buis said those pushing the waiver failed to show severe economic harm directly attributable to the RFS. Buis also stated that granting the waiver requests would come at a great cost to the U.S.
Seven governors asked the EPA to temporarily waive the mandate on ethanol during the summer when the drought drove corn prices higher. A similar request from Texas in 2008 was denied - and ethanol trade groups expect the same outcome this time.
