Schierholtz stars as Giants sweep A's
Outfielder hits inside-the-park homer; Cain goes distance
SAN FRANCISCO -- An inside-the-park home run is so rare that it often obscures everything else surrounding it, as Nate Schierholtz affirmed in the Giants' 7-1 Interleague victory Sunday over the Oakland A's.Matt Cain's complete-game gem virtually became an afterthought. Pablo Sandoval's two-run homer and Andres Torres' three-hit effort seemed secondary. The Giants swept their cross-bay rivals in a three-game home series for the first time since June 15-17, 2001, and won their ninth game in 12 tries, yet team achievement took a back seat to individual accomplishment.
Schierholtz created this effect with his third-inning drive to right-center field, AT&T Park's biggest canyon, in the third inning.
"Where else can you have that adrenaline hit at 51 years old?" said Tim Flannery, San Francisco's third-base coach who looked half his age as he excitedly beckoned Schierholtz home.Yet the significance of Schierholtz's dash around the bases extended beyond the three runs he produced. He earned himself a majority of the starts in right field with his performance in this series, at least temporarily ending the competition among himself, Torres and Fred Lewis to play alongside Aaron Rowand and Randy Winn. On Friday, Schierholtz made the first relay in a sequence that nabbed Adam Kennedy at home plate and preserved Tim Lincecum's shutout. On Saturday, Schierholtz rapped a pinch-hit RBI single. He followed that Sunday with a two-hit afternoon, a steamy throw to foil Jack Hannahan's second-inning bid to stretch a single into a double and a running catch on Jason Giambi's deep fourth-inning fly. "Sure, he has earned some playing time," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said of Schierholtz, who never received an extended opportunity to prove himself while spending parts of 2007 and 2008 with the Giants. With Schierholtz in the lineup, Winn, the regular right fielder, will move to left. Schierholtz described himself as "excited" to hear Bochy's declaration but remained calm. He knows how fleeting opportunities can be.
"I just try to keep my confidence up, play as hard as I can and help the team," said Schierholtz, 25.Schierholtz indeed helped the Giants after Sandoval walked and Rich Aurilia singled to prolong the third inning against A's starter Brett Anderson (3-7) with two outs and the Giants leading, 3-1. Schierholtz then drove a 1-1 pitch toward the second outfield-wall archway to the right of the 421-foot marker in right-center. The ball bounced off the warning track, deflected off the chain-link fence and shot upward, giving Schierholtz extra time to run. A's right fielder Jack Cust theorized that the considerable backspin on the ball prevented it from caroming toward the outfield, as it normally would.
"It was kind of a weird play," Cust said.Cust couldn't pick up the ball until it rolled into the adjacent archway, the one with signage honoring the quartet of Giants who have hit 500 home runs.
"He was flying," Cust said of Schierholtz. "I picked up the ball, and he was rounding third." Schierholtz didn't even draw a throw as he slid home safely."I was thinking triple out of the box," said Schierholtz, who related that he didn't consider heading for home until he approached third base and saw Flannery "jumping up and down." Added Schierholtz, "By the time I got to third, I was trying to get every bit of energy in my stride." To this point, Schierholtz's most renowned baserunning occurred in last summer's Olympics, when he steamrollered catcher Yang Yang of China in a home-plate collision. That play demonstrated only a fraction of Schierholtz's athleticism. Schierholtz's home run sprint, Bochy said, "shows you how fast he is. A lot of people don't realize Nate's speed. He kicked it into another gear after he hit second." It was the fourth inside-the-park homer hit at AT&T Park. Schierholtz was preceded by St. Louis' Fernando Vina (May 9, 2000), the Giants' Dustan Mohr (Aug. 4, 2004) and Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki (2007 All-Star Game). Schierholtz's homer gave Cain (9-1) more than enough support. Free to challenge A's hitters any way he wanted, Cain retired 15 consecutive batters and 19 of the last 20 beginning with the third inning's final out. Cain, who lapsed only when he yielded Cust's first-inning homer, struck out nine and walked none. The latter helped him maintain the stamina to record his third complete game, tops in the National League.
"Say you walk two guys. That's probably 12 more pitches right there you can save for another inning," Cain said.Though Cain appears destined to claim a spot on the NL All-Star team, he refrained from assuming too much. "As a little kid, you always want to make the All-Star team, so to be able to have a chance to make it in the big leagues would be a huge opportunity," Cain said. "I'm trying to take it a step at a time." That's exactly what Schierholtz did around the bases, albeit very quickly.

This weekend we went to our first Giants baseball game of the season at AT&T Park here in foggy San Francisco. Well actually it was actually quite sunny and unusually hot this weekend, so we thought there would be no better way to spend our Saturday than by eating garlic fries and watching some baseball.
This isn't just one of my son's favorite summer pastimes, but mine as well. We both love the game, the food, and this fabulous stadium. AT&T Park is one of those newer, fancier stadiums with some great view of the San Francisco skyline and the bay. Don't worry if you can't afford the club seats either, I think some of the best views are from the top seats. Another good place to sit with kids is in either the arcade or bleacher section. Both of these sections make it easy to get up during the game and take a break at the trolley car or the kids' area by the Coca-Cola bottle.
Most of the cheap seats go for between $20 and $25 dollars and on Monday through Thursday they have some $10 outfield tickets available. You're allowed to bring in your own food and drinks to the park (no glass allowed). If you're just passing through town as a tourist and want to check in on a game without actually having to buy tickets, walk up to the open archways of the right field wall and watch the game free of charge.

In one month, you can start buying Christmas cards designed by Phoenix Children's Hospital patients.
We're introducing you to another PCH Christmas card artist. Here's Kailah's story.
10-year-old Kailah Franco is giving me a lesson in art. How to draw the perfect Christmas tree. From the right shade of green to the ornaments, this little artist knows her stuff.
It's hard to believe the road this sweet 5th grader has traveled.
She was diagnosed at the age of 7 with AML leukemia, a form of cancer that is seen mostly in older people, rare for kids her age.
She fought 9 months with the help of the doctors and nurses at Phoenix Children's Hospital. During her treatment, they made sure she felt right at home
"They were really nice. we got to do homework, there was a school there. There was an arts and crafts room that I would go every day to and draw or paint," says Kailah.
It's been 3 years now and she is in full remission. Today she is full of zest, a personality that will melt your heart.
She loves math, adores the color pink and loves to eat shrimp. She's also been able to attend Camp Rainbow twice and this year she was chosen as one of the artists for PCH's annual Christmas card fundraiser.
She was thrilled when asked to do it!
"I was excited and surprised. I said I'm going to be famous!"
She and the other artists' cards go on sale November 1, online, and at Safeway stores around the valley.
Before we parted, Kailah left this piece of advice for all the kids that are fighting right now: "I would say don't think about it just have fun."

Microsoft's SteadyState offered admins the ability to revert systems to a previously stored state every time it rebooted. SteadyState worked with Windows Disk Protection (WDP) to ensure any changes made to the Windows 7 OS would be redirected to an alternate, temporary cache. It was a (free) lifesaver for schools, libraries, and kiosk machine admins who needed to refresh the environment daily or even hourly with each new period. It was also great for Web cafés and such. But it was discontinued in December 2010 and fell out of support on July 1, 2011.
Returning a system to square one or to a selected frozen state with installed applications and such is a great way to eliminate worry about viruses, spyware, and other malware issues. It also comes in handy for eliminating applications installed without permission or cleaning out files that were downloaded or added to the system via USB stick.
[ Want to run Windows 8 on your PC (or virtual machine on your Pc or Mac)? J. Peter Bruzzese has a video that explains how to install Windows 8, as well as a video tour of Windows 8's key features. | Stay abreast of key Microsoft technologies with our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
There are alternatives from third parties, of course, but it's hard for schools, libraries, and others in these tough times to buy a tool to replace what used to be free. Alternatives include Deep Freeze, Time Freeze, and Returnil, each of which costs about $40 per system.
In light of these developments, Mark Minasi, a noted technical speaker and journalist, has gone through the painstaking process of putting together the files you need -- for free -- to create a new boot option on your systems, called Roll Back Windows, when booting. After you select the option during a reboot, you can walk away for a few minutes and return to the system you originally saved as a snapshot. You can roll back all changes that have taken place on the system since the last snapshot was applied. It's a generous gift indeed for us IT admins who do this daily.

Using firebug for jquery? Or something similar?
Been using jquery cycle plug in for a couple years now, always implementing the same way. But for some reason the transitions are messed up on my wordpress site. Is there a way I can try to see what files that function is referencing using firebug? Or is there something similar I can use?
EDIT: Actually figured out the problem but would still like to know how/if firebug can be used for this. Thanks!

A place close to Bukowski's that my wife and I decided to hit after. Only a few blocks down.
By the end of the night, we decided to just stay here. The selection's not that great, but they don't masquerade as a beer bar. It's an Irish pub. Two Irish guys were running the joint, which was great to see, in the sense that they were both friendly but also running around like crazy, and they both maintained good moods.
Wooden booths. A long wooden bar. Cisco Whale's Tail was on tap, but mostly it was your macro and import typical stuff.
Fairly small and dark, which I like, and intimate. A cool pub in that area, but don't look to go there to try microbrews, because this isn't the place for that.

The Druid is a small Irish beer bar with a lot of character, with a good location on Cambridge St. not far from public transportation. It feels like an older bar than it is, replete with heavy Irish accents from some of the bartenders.
By reputation they have the best fish 'n chips, and I viewed many patrons eating the oysters.
Beer list is around 10 taps, with the usual Irish/British taps in addition to Northeastern U.S. craft beers.
My service was excellent but it was during a quiet part of the day.
Prices were reasonable for the area.

This one's a bit out of the way unless you're cruising Cambridge Street. Not close to any T stops, so you'll have to walk if you're a mass transit type. But it's a nice place with exceptionally nice people -- both the clientele and the help. Of course, it's greater Boston, so the people are usually nice. The food is typical Irish pub fare, hearty, calorie laden staple stuff. The soda bread is to die for -- some of the best I've had. Nice selection of craft brews, both domestic and the traditional Irish big names like Guinness and Smithwick's, along with some of that nasty cider stuff. Small, a bit cramped, but that's because it's popular. A nice place to feel like you're not alone in this world while you nourish your belly and soften your mood with some barley 'n' hops.

This is a small comfy Irish pub, run mostly by Irish tenders and servers. The food is actually rather good, not what I expected. There is even a house made veggie burger that A likes. I really like the sausages beans and mash. Just wait a few minutes before digging in as it usually comes out really hot.
Not a huge beer selection, but its a good selection. I usually get a guiness when I visit but they also have a few regional selections.
Its a small place so it does not take much to get crowded. I have been here on a few occasions where live music is being played. Usually its just an Irish jam session with a few locals that bring in guitars fiddles and flutes.

The Druid is a mini Irish-themed bar destination located in the center of Inman Square. The atmosphere is comfortable and intimate with an Irish pub feel décor. You can expect 12 taps with selections that include Cisco Whales Tale Pale Ale, Berkshire Brewing Steel Rail Extra Pale Ale, Paulaner Hefe-Weissbier, Harpoon IPA, Sam Adams Boston Lager, Newcastle, Guinness & Stella Artois. The bottle selection was more expensive and less appealing, but I did notice they have the Rapscallion Creation & Blessing.
The food that I tried was really good. Much better than your typical Irish pub food. I would come back just for the food. Beer tasted fresh and quality was solid. Beers are served in nice glassware such a Hefe Weizen glass for the Paulaner and imperial pints for the Guinness. Service was attentive. Overall, an enjoyable experience and worth checking out.

Went for Trivia night tonight. An Irish style place, small, but quaint. Not a bad place to frequent, especially if you live in Inman, but not the best place in Inman Sq.
Long bar with about 10 two person tables and 2 larger both like tables on either side of the door. About 8 beers on tap, nothing that special however. Berkshire Steel Rail, Anchor, Paulaner, magic #9, harpoon summer, and sea dog ipa. They did have Otter Creek and Rapscallion blessing in bottles (had with a rapscallion glass). A funny thing about the Rapscallion was the 7% right next to it, as if they were trying to get rid of it by advertising its abv--i found that interesting.
Food was very good. Burgers are fantastic and I've heard the fish and chips is also pretty good. Server was pretty good, but could have been better. She was nice and all, just a tad slow for me. Prices were decent for both food and beer and the quality of both was very good. I would recommend the Druid if you're looking for a good burger, some good trivia, or a pint of guinness, especially if you're in Inman.

Located in Inman Square Cambridge, The Druid is a classic Boston Irish pub.
Atmosphere is small and cozy. A small bar on one side of the room with a half dozen small table against the opposite wall. Very worn rustic Irish bar atmosphere with lots of traditional old Irish knick knacks all over the wall. A single flat screen TV above the bar was showing the Red Sox game. The clock above the bar permanently stopped at 5:20 confused me though. :-)
Beer selection is limited but not too bad. A dozen taps with all the typical culprits; Guinness, Harpoon, Sam Seasonal Anchor, Berkshire Steal Rail, Bodingtons, they had a wheat beer but I forget which one. Franziskaner maybe? Bottles were about the same Heineken, Amstel, etc, although I was surprised and excited to see bottles of Rapscallion Blessing served in the proper glassware. A very nice touch. All beers were tasty and very fresh.
Although I didn't try any of the food it at all looked good with your typical pub grub favorites as well as a lean towards Irish/Enlgish pub favorites. (I might have to go back to try the Irish breakfast)
Service was sort of odd, I was there on a medium to slow Saturday night and couldn't quite make out if they had true table service or not. Half the people at the tables would just go to the bar and order rounds while some would be waited on. This made it a little uncomfortable.
Overall a nice little Irish bar. Nothing to go out of you way for, but definitely makes a nice stop on a pub crawl through Inman square.

Nice little Irish bar. Forgot about this place from back when I used to work in Inman Square. Long and narrow there with the bar on the left side of the room. Ten or so tables on the right. Various Irish music festival posters around the room. I swung by in the afternoon after walking from the North End. The bartender was a younger girl who was very friendly and great to chat with. Did not know much about the beer though. As for the beer they had 12 taps, with the usual culprits: Guiness, Smithwicks, Bass, Magic Hat, Stella, Harpoon, Anchor, etc... However, they did have Berkshire Steel Rail on tap. Bartender said the brewery gave them a great deal because they are trying to break more into the area. Maybe another 20 bottles as well, but nothing special. A nice Irish pub to chill in with friends, I will definitely go back if I am in the area.

so this was the 5th place of a a night of drinking. It is a small little bar with a long bar on the left and about 8 small tables on the right. The bar fits 12/14 people and it gets pretty crowded. That is the one draw back I found because the place was full of locals and young college students. There was a dj playing - a nice mix of new stuff and some classic rock/jam bands.
The beer selection was good for a irish bar but not exactly a beer bar. I grabbed a franzsikaner but the others were nothing special. The bartender was a great guy and the rest of the staff seemed very helpful.
Worth a stop if you are in the area but not a destination.

I like this place. In a decent neighborhood that is up and coming. The people who work here are very attentive and pretty cool. Their beer selection is considerably better than the average Irish bar. They always have a few on-tap that you don't see elsewhere very often. Paulaner was what we had when I was last there. The decor is very bohemian ;poetry readings would work well here. They have this snake mobile hanging from the ceiling that is made entirely from Guinness cans or some Guinness leftover. I like this place especially because it is such a great escape from the rest of Boston. Thats why its in Cambridge.

TOWIE star Joey Essex kissed by more than 100 girls at Lakeside
11:47am Monday 26th November 2012 in News
TOWIE star Joey Essex made Christmas come early for more than 100 girls with a festive kissing challenge at Lakeside Shopping Centre.
The reality TV star, who is a regular on ITV 2's The Only Way Is Essex, was kissed by 118 girls who queued to meet him at the shopping centre's Virgin Media store on Saturday.
Hordes of fans turned up for Joey, who was there to celebrate the mobile phone network's new unlimited pay as you go tariffs,
and organisers had to stop the queue when it reached 250 people.
The unlucky 132 who didn't get to kiss the heartthrob got his autograph instead.
Speaking after his appearance at Lakeside, Joey said: "Taking part in the kissing challenge with Virgin Media was totally reem and all the other boys on TOWIE were well jel when I told them about it, especially the single ones!
"I don't think I have ever been kissed by so many girls in one day before.
"It's definitely a personal record."

I love this product...2 for 1, you can't beat it and rec'd my order quickly!!! Thanks...
I love the versitality of this folder. The ornament one is a little chaotic it you don't "ink" the ornaments seperatly
The folders are beautiful.
I have never used one of these embossing folds and was quite surprised that it was two in one. It is easy to use and works well in my Cuttlebug. I really like side A.

By Wednesday afternoon, employees at Peet's Coffee and Teas in downtown Novato will politely escort out their loyal clientele, lock the doors and start packing for their move about a mile away into a sparkling new building on Redwood Boulevard.
Meanwhile, in the on-deck circle, Tagliaferri's Delicatessen — an institution on the west side of town — is poised to pounce on the Peet's location on Seventh Avenue as soon as some upgrades are made.
The transition isn't news — the intentions were announced in the summer, first by Peet's and then by Tagliaferri's — but the timing of the closures and openings is hot off the press. The two parties later arranged for an extention to Peet's lease at the corner of Grant Avenue and Seventh Street.
Joelle Faucher, shift manager at Peet's, said there have been notices posted inside the shop at the Downtown Novato Shopping Center to communicate the relocation plans to the customers. The employees are scheduled to close the doors at 1 p.m. Wednesday and, if all goes smoothly, reopen at 5 a.m. Friday at 7370 Redwood Boulevard in a new building being finished between a Shell station and the McDonald's restaurant.
"It's just a matter of packing and unpacking," Faucher said. "We've had signs, posters and fliers up and hope people know about the move. It shouldn't be that hard from our perspective."
Thad Logan of RetailWest, the commercial real estate company charged with the 7370 Redwood location, said Peet's will occupy 1,800 square feet, leaving open two other spots — 3,800 square feet and 2,335 square feet — in the new complex that are still available. No other leases have been signed for those spots, Logan said.
The old Peet's will become Tagliaferri's Deli by early February. Al Tagliaferri, who owns the deli with his son, Brian, said they are meeting Thursday with construction foremen to coordinate what will be taken out and what will remain. There are a number of upgrades that need to be made to turn the place into a deli, he said.
"Our goal has been to be there by the Super Bowl (on Feb. 3), but whether we hit that goal or not depends on how it goes with the agencies we're dealing with and getting all the approvals we need," Al Tagliaferri said. "It's sort of been a moving target. I'm cautiously optimistic."
The full-scale remodel should start Jan. 14 and take two to three weeks, he said. The deli's current location, at the Square Shopping Center at Wilson Avenue and Novato Boulevard, will be closed a few days before the new deli is ready to open, he added.
The vacancy will be another blow to the Square, which will have 12 empty spots out of 22 store locations. The biggest tenant remains a CVS store, right next to a long-vacant grocery location. The owner of the shopping center, Jeffry Chang, nor his representatives from Horizon Properties have said anything publicly about the center's long-range plans.

ALBANY, N.Y. - Upstate Theaters for a Fair Game in Albany has announced progress it hopes to make when it comes to the state's proposed casino expansion.
Fair Game, consisting of theaters including Proctors, Saratoga Performing Arts Center, the Palace Theater and the Saratoga City Center, says they are not against gaming but want a level playing field as casinos can pay performers more money and offer discounts and free tickets to the public.
Fair Game is asking that language be added to the New York Casino Gambling amendment that would establish long term limits on the expansion of the casinos and limit the capacity of their entertainment venues to 1,000 seats.
The changes would also require casino bidders to have partnership agreements with each facility near them to establish exclusivity terms.
"Casino entertainment facilities in Connecticut had a major impact on arts organizations in Hartford, Connecticut, Providence, Rhode Island, New Haven, Boston," said SPAC President Marcia White. "Some of the small not-for-profits had to close their doors."
Fair Game says Governor Andrew Cuomo has endorsed their requests. A vote on a referendum to authorize casino expansion in New York will take place in the November election.
The New York State Gaming Commission released the following statement regarding the Upstate Theater coalition:
"We are in full agreement with the Upstate Theater Coalition regarding the importance of our live entertainment venues. A major goal of the Upstate New York Gaming and Economic Development Act is to enhance and grow New York's tourism attractions, including the state's performing arts venues and arenas. That's why the siting criteria in the Act declares that prospective casinos should 'establish a fair and reasonable partnership with live entertainment venues' in the local market. We will work with the coalition to address all of its concerns regarding language in the RFP that ensures that no casino operator can successfully bid for a New York casino license unless it has a signed partnership agreement with live entertainment venues in the local market in consultation with the Upstate Theater Coalition. We believe any new gaming resorts must and will provide a major boost for our existing and historic live entertainment venues."
"While we strive to bring in a broad offering of different live entertainment, the Jerry Seinfelds and the John Legends and Bill Mars are our bread and butter," said Holly Brown, Exec. Director Palace Theater.
Brown says she has noticed in some neighboring states theaters have had their performers taken away by Casinos, and she fears what that would mean for the Palace Theater.
"The building is dark a lot. A lot more than it use to be in the past and so I think that's a reality potential reality for all of us."

These days, actresses and pop stars often fill the positions left behind by these powerhouse models. So, let's take a trip down memory lane to see how much these six ladies have — and haven't — changed. —Additional reporting by Jessica Cruel Source: WireImage Claudia Schiffer What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 At a 1993 calendar signing, Claudia Schiffer, who bears a striking resemblance to Brigitte Bardot, wore her signature long locks in a wavy style. Now an even lighter-toned blonde, the 42-year-old German model recently donned her Guess Jeans again in a revamped 30th anniversary campaign. Source: WireImage, Getty 1 / 10 Cindy Crawford What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In 1992 at a Revlon event, Cindy Crawford was sporting some serious red lips and a wavy hairstyle. Now at 47, the mother of two wears her hair lighter in long layers, as seen at the recent Cannes Film Festival. Do you think she's changed all that much? It must be her skin care line, Meaningful Beauty. Source: Getty 2 / 10 Christy Turlington Burns What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Christy Turlington Burns turned 44 earlier this year, and proves that good, clean living works wonders for the complexion. At the 1998 unveiling of her Calvin Klein fragrance, Christy wore a chestnut bob, dark lipstick, and blush. At a recent event, the yoga-loving model, who recently returned as the face of Calvin Klein Underwear, opted for a more natural hairstyle but amped up her makeup look. Can you believe how little she's changed? Source: Getty 3 / 10 Kate Moss What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Kate Moss's runway look in 1998 could translate easily into today's fashions. This year she celebrated turning 39, and while the model's hair is shorter and lighter these days, she still has that minimalist, Calvin Klein-esque style down pat. Kate also still snags the top beauty deals. This year alone she signed a Kérastase hair deal and a St. Tropez self-tanner contract. Source: WireImage 4 / 10 Naomi Campbell What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Probably the most outspoken of the bunch, Naomi Campbell is still looking gorgeous after all these years. In 1990, Naomi had chunky highlights and dark lip liner, which was popular during the era. Today, the 43-year-old supermodel can be seen as the host of The Face, a model-competition reality series. Source: Getty 6 / 10 Linda Evangelista What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Linda Evangelista has changed her hair numerous times throughout the years. Back in 1995, she just happened to have a short, brown bob. Fast-forward almost 20 years, and her hair is long and layered. Looking good for a 48-year-old model, don't you think? Source: Getty 6 / 10 Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Naomi and Cindy glammed it up at a 1991 Revlon event. Source: Getty 7 / 10 Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, and Christy Turlington What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Fresh-faced and smiling at a 1989 event. Source: WireImage 8 / 10 Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A thick black headband for Linda, and a short blondish pixie for Christy could work even today. Source: WireImage 9 / 10 Kickoff! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Linda, Naomi, and Christy start a kick line back in 1989. If they knew then how great they would all look now, they'd still have reason to celebrate, particularly since they all still have rather prominent careers. Tell us: of the six women, which one is your favorite?

Talk to a drunken Volunteer: Elvis and the Little Cat Story
"So it's right after a bank day right, so I've got a pocket of money. And no one is waiting for me in my site so I stop over in Maubisi and I go over to see Betty and I'm like, want some whiskey? Not like I had to twist her arm. So I pour some myself this big glass and sit down, it's evening so I can crash on the floor. Well Betty has this little cat. It's half grown cute, like cats are, and it's jumping around and goes out the window. I'm about to enjoy this drink, my first, and we hear ...
Two Groups
Today was the first day of proper teacher training and I have finally gotten the hang of separating the Timorese into groups. I have tried many things and this one seems to work the fastest with the fewest hurt feelings. In the first training of trainers I assumed that grouping was an instinctual skill set. And before I knew it I had caused a mess. I need to remember that everything is capacity. We had a game which required the participants to be in two groups, not because they were com...
Talk to a peace corps trainer: Giving up.
It seems like my whole life was about sitting in training, itching and wishing I had something to eat. This was a mixed blessing because the rash and the starving were the only things keeping the afternoon swelter from putting me to sleep. Every so often I would tune back in to our shocks and sandal training coordinator to make sure I didn't miss something I thought was relevant. I was excited when I heard his normally hopeful voice drop an octave and become brittle. I wait on these ...
Love and Handwriting
There is not a word in English or Tetun, the ancient agricultural language of Timor, that describes how the Timorese teachers at out training feel about my handwriting. All of the teachers turn in evaluations or the rare assignment they use an exquisite cursive script. It looks like everything they write is an invitation to a wedding. And here's me with a fetid, scurvy, mush of letters better suited to tearful break ups and serial killers. Horrified does not cover their distaste, la di...
Knock Knock.
Today my Alim Cansio had a bunch of friends roughly our age over. They had two big containers of palm wine. Cansio killed a chicken and tossed onto the coals of a fire feathers and all. It cooked quickly and dried out. Soon we were breaking off delicious stringy meat and drinking. The day was too hot for drink and soon I was loopy. Cansio's friends kept quizzing me about life in America. I scrolled through my foggy mind for something interesting and decided to explain knock knock jok...
Concerning Poop
Let me first address the smelly elephant in the room, our good friend poop. In America poop is a private thing. We take it to another room and modulate its thickness and or frequency with a variety of pills and powders. People who have trouble with their poop will take a day off work complaining of a cold or some other, less embarrassing, trouble. And in return our stable American poop agrees to keep to a normal range of colors and consistencies. Not so in Timor. Poop, its frequ...
I sat, silent, amazed at the beauty. I have been overwhelmed by the grandeur of this island nation, the beaches and the mountains and the sky. I have been shocked by the contrast between rich and poor and with the rush of hunger and anger. But this… Last night. 54 volunteers were told that they are going home. That we are going home. That the plane is coming at 5 am. They yelled and sobbed and laughed and drank and danced. I wanted to be sober, untired for each moment. It has been l...
Fire and Aunger
Interim service training for the fifth group of volunteers in the small island nation of East Timor. There is a rumor going around that this training has been rushed through approvals because of the high level of early terminations in our group, nearly a third of our number and only five months in site. The venue is an idyllic convent high enough in the mountain to get a breeze but close enough to walk to a beach. The food is sumptuous and the company exquisite. We have one training a...
Turn back the tide.
As a way to thank the famalies who helped in out training the PCV's of TL-5 decided to throw a party. Everyone liked the dancing and food. Introducing a pinata in a child rich, candy poor community, however, took a quick turn for the worse. Telling a mob of children who only have candy once a year that they can have a lot of candy if they his something with a stick, not our best idea.

(WMC-TV) - Thirty people were indicted on drug-related charges following an investigation into a drug trafficking conspiracy.
During the course of the investigation, which intensified in June, MPD's Organized Crime Unit seized more than 70 grams of cocaine, as well as $400,000 in cash.
Ten people are charged with conspiracy to possess with the intent to sell more than 300 grams of cocaine. Twenty other people are charged with buying cocaine for resale.
The two primary targets in the investigation were Kenneth and Keith Bohanon, who were major customers of the Craig Petties cocaine distribution network, according to the Shelby County District Attorney's Office. The Bohanons were "left untouched when the Petties organization was dismantled."
Three of the people charged are confirmed to be gang members, said Assistant District Attorney Paul Hagerman.
The drug trafficking operation has been reportedly operating for several years in the Riverside community.

A 43-year-old Marietta woman was arrested Monday afternoon in Kennesaw on charges that she stole nearly $1 million from her East Cobb employer.
Angela Lynn Williamson of the 2200 block of Sessions Street in Marietta faces 11 felony counts of theft by taking and is being held on $900,000 bond, according to records.
The May 16 warrant against her indicates that the thefts began in September 2001 and continued into 2011.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Williamson is accused of writing herself as many as 57 checks a year on the business accounts of employer InterContinental Marble, which is in the 2200 block of Northwest Parkway in East Cobb.
The company realized last year that almost $1 million was missing, the AJC said, and the marble business filed a civil lawsuit against Williamson in on June 29, 2011, according to the court docket. The next hearing in that case is scheduled for a week from today.

Minnesota is one of 16 states that has developed its own health insurance marketplace under the Affordable Care Act. Soon, advertisements promoting that exchange will hit the airwaves and elsewhere.
The ad campaign features a couple of well-known characters -- Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox -- in comedic situations to illustrate some of the 10,000 reasons insurance is necessary in the land of lakes.
MNsure will officially begin allowing residents to start shopping for health care coverage online on Oct. 1, and a new, $9-million media campaign seeks to promote the new platform on television, radio, billboards, bus and train wraps, in print publications and online.
Policies purchased through MNsure will take effect in 2014. It is expected to cover about 300,000 uninsured Minnesotans, but people and businesses that already have health care coverage may also find other options through the online marketplace.
After the football game, FOX 9's Tim Blotz will speak with the creative director of BBDO Proximity Advertising about why they chose Paul and Babe -- and the scenarios Minnesotans will soon see them stuck in.

SO i need to change that,either to make the text color while using any application black or change the b/g color to white.But when i type sms or saving a contact name the text color is white and b/g color is black.So i want the full screen editing mode to be like that.

The San Diego Chargers have had a fairly quiet but solid start to free agency. They let Vincent Jackson walk but picked up Robert Meachem and also re-signed Jared Gaither.
Here's another signing: Jarret Johnson. The Chargers confirmed Johnson has agreed to a four-year deal. The deal is expected to soon be official.
Johnson was the Baltimore Ravens fourth round pick in the 2003 NFL draft. He's been a starter for the last five seasons and has 20 career sacks. He's 30 years old.
Free agent linebackers from the Ravens always seem to strike it rich because they're so productive. Johnson will be playing in a 3-4 defense in San Diego like he did in Baltimore.
Terms of the contract weren't disclosed.

(WMC-TV) - Thousands of Shelby County students are heading back to the classroom this morning. It is the very first day that the unified school district will open as one entity with both Shelby County Schools and former Memphis City Schools' students and teachers.
Shelby County Schools leaders have been working for months in an effort to make the transition into a unified school system run smoothly, but they say there are still challenges ahead.
"The journey's been long and not without hiccups, fittingly we're
dealing with hiccups right now," said SCS Superintendent Dorsey Hopson.
One of the biggest changes students will notice is in the classroom.
At least 30 SCS employees were laid off Friday, with half of them being teachers.
The district also boosted security with Memphis police and Shelby County deputies assigned to every middle school and high school.
A big concern for many is school bus transportation. Routes were changed for some of the districts' 470 school buses, even after students were registered.
For parents with bus route question, there is a hot line you can call to get those questions answered. That number is (901) 321-2280.
We know that some stress comes along with the first day of school, so we at Action News 5 are working to make it a little bit more fun for parents as well as students.
All morning long, we will be sharing photos of your favorite AN5 anchors and reporters from their "back to school" days.
And don't forget ... as your student heads out the door this morning, take a back to school photo and send it to us! Looking back in 10 years, you will be glad you took it! And we may just feature it in one of our newscasts this evening. Send your kids' back to school photos to email@example.com.

Both the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times have published their 2012 lists of the top schools in the area based on standardized test scores. Their methodology varies — the Tribune ranks by the percent of students who met or exceeded standards while the Sun-Times ranks by average test score.
Not surprisingly, North Shore schools appeared on both paper's lists.
High schools
Deerfield High School was the first non-Chicago school on the Tribune's top 50 Chicago-area high schools list, appearing at #5, followed by New Trier High School at #6. Glenbrook North was next at #11, Lake Forest High School at #13 and Glenbrook South at #17.
The Sun-Times list of top high schools in the state flip-flopped the top two North Shore schools, with New Trier ranked #4 and Deerfield #6. The next three North Shore high schools remain in the same order, though slightly different places with Glenbrook North as #10, Lake Forest High School #11 and Glenbrook South #16.
Elementary and middle schools
In elementary and middle schools, New Trier Township dominates the Tribune's top 50 list for Chicago area schools, with Greeley Elementary School in Winnetka making the first North Shore appearance at #14, followed by Middlefork Primary School in Northfield at #17 and Crow Island Elementary School in Winnetka at #18. Northbrook's Greenbriar Elementary School was the next North Shore school in the #20 spot.
The Sun-Times ranked elementary and middle schools separately.
Highland Park's Braeside was the first North Shore school on the paper's list of top elementary schools in the Chicago area, sitting in the #6 spot. Romona in Kenilworth was next at #11, Ravinia in Highland Park at #16 and Evanston's Orrington at #19.
Marie Murphy School in Wilmette was the first North Shore school to appear on the list of the state's top middle schools, at #11. Northbrook's Maple School was #16 and The Joseph Sears School in Kenilworth was #18.
You can also look up any school's report card on the Illinois State Board of Education website.

I liked the movie, and this wasn't a deal breaker for me. But it just wasn't a great fit. And Cumberbatch was very good, he just isn't Khan.
I agree, Cumberbatch's character was well-written but more of a generic villain than Khan.
In my opinion the main cause for this was the ahistoricity of the plot (it took OldSpock to tell them what should have been in their history books!), Khan appeared to be more of a out-of-the-blue character than a shadow from the past.
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam
