All in the families
Two new police sgts. carry on dads' legacies
Henrico County Division of Police has long been distinguished by a number of husband-wife and sibling relationships among its officers.
But the July 31 promotional ceremony may well have been one-of a kind, with not one but two father-son pairs of officers in attendance. Of the four police officers being promoted to sergeant, half had fathers that have served as Henrico police supervisors.
Held at the Henrico County Training Center, the ceremony marked Jeffrey S. Quesinberry's promotion from detective to sergeant, and Keith T. deShazo promotion from officer to sergeant.
Between the two new sergeants and their fathers, Retired Command Sergeant Raleigh C. deShazo and Lieutenant Stephen E. Quesinberry, the men share 113 years of police experience between them.
"That makes me really proud," said Steve Quesinberry as the four gathered to reflect on their careers prior to the ceremony. The senior Quesinberry's own father is a retired captain with the Norfolk Police Department, making his son a third generation police supervisor.
"I have two uncles who are also cops, in North Carolina," remarked Steve Quesinberry. "Somewhere I even have a picture of one uncle busting up a still," he added with a laugh.
It's an attitude
While they may have flirted with other careers at some point, all four Quesinberrys and deShazos expressed feelings of having been born to – or at least destined to – pursue police work.
Raleigh deShazo, who hired on with Henrico in 1962, was only the 56th member to join the Division since it had been organized. When he applied, he was working long hours for a soft drink company, and his wife encouraged him to seek police work.
"She's from England, and growing up, she always wanted to be a bobbie," said Raleigh deShazo of his wife.
After unsuccessfully trying out for the Richmond Police Department, and falling an inch short of its height requirement, deShazo went with Henrico.
"That was work," he now says of his former job with the soft drink company. "Then I went to the police department and had fun!"
Five years later, son Keith was born.
Of his early memories of his father's career, the younger deShazo recalls only that "I liked it and respected it. I met a lot of people he worked with, and they seemed to have a bond.
"I liked hanging around dad. At home he was just a normal dad – not a police officer."
Although his growing-up experiences probably predisposed him toward a police career, Keith deShazo said that he spent his last two years of college in a sales job and might easily have continued in that direction.
The idea of applying to the Henrico police force instead, he said, was really a matter of timing: the division announced an upcoming police academy, after going years without one due to hiring freezes.
Trying out for the academy also appealed to him as a challenge, said deShazo. "I had been working since I was 14," he said. "I'd always had a job, and I knew I could get a sales job."
With the police, on the other hand, "I knew I couldn't just walk in the door and get a job," he said.
There's a certain mindset, deShazo went on, that's essential to succeeding in police work. "If you don't want this career, you're not going to make it. Anyone with the police knows that in this profession you're going to make it on your own."
His father nodded his head in agreement. "You have to have an attitude," he said.
'All I've ever wanted to do'
To hear Steve Quesinberry tell it, he could not have avoided a police career if he had tried.
"Police work is all I've ever wanted to do," he said, noting that he grew up hearing his policeman father's stories every day at dinner and breakfast. "Dad would always talk about what happened last night; he always had a story bigger than TV."
On the other hand, said Quesinberry, he didn't want to work in the same place as his father. For the first five years of his career he was a paramedic in Norfolk. Then he came to Richmond to finish his degree at Virginia Commonwealth University, (VCU) with the intention of continuing into the FBI.
"But once I anchored here, I stayed," he said with a smile. "I'm glad this worked out," he said of his years with Henrico County, "because I don't know what else I would've done!"
His son Jeff feels the same way about his career with the police.
"I don't know any other lifestyle," he said. From the time he was seven and his father was running a training academy in the basement of Dabbs House, Jeff Quesinberry said he has felt at home around his dad's colleagues.
"Sometimes my mom would bring my sister and me [to Dabbs House] and we would goof off in the gym; we had a blast running around," he said.
Even the memories from his later, teen-age years didn't dissuade him from the idea of someday entering the police force.
"This was before the days of pagers and cell phones," he said of those years, "and the phone would always ring for my father in the middle of the night. I'd be trying to sleep, and I'd hear this 'thud, thud, thud' as he got up [and went to work]."
But while attending Benedictine High School, Jeff Quesinberry began considering a military career. A visit with a recruiter – who told him that his asthma would keep him out of the service – convinced him that he should stick with his police aspirations. He applied to Henrico County Division of Police before he had even reached the minimum age of 21, and while he was still taking coursework at VCU. But he was hired, the youngest recruit in his academy class by far.
"I didn't think I'd get picked up," he admitted, "because I was so young and hadn't finished my degree."
Shoulder to shoulder
Both younger sergeants agree that their fathers' presence in the division never made any difference in the way they were treated. "No one one ever cut me any slack," said Jeff Quesinberry. "You either cut the mustard [here] or you don't."
In fact, all four fathers and sons say that they have rarely crossed paths at work, either due to working different shifts or different ends of the county.
Steve Quesinberry can recall just one real encounter, when he was called to help break up a large party of about a thousand people that had gotten out of control.
"There were about 40 officers shoulder to shoulder," he said, "and as we lined up I realized that my son was to my right. Well, you don't know what a big crowd like that is going to do. So I told Jeff's mother later that I had my eye on him the whole time.
"Well, my wife said that Jeff said the same thing to her," he said. "'He had his eye on you the whole time!'"
The Deshazos also could recall only a handful of times they interacted at work. But as Keith was working a midnight shift some years ago, he had to arrest a young woman who had gotten too wild at a party. "She was not a big fan of me at all," he said, "and [as we headed to jail] she kept saying, 'I've had enough of you!'
"At the jail, I opened the door, and my dad was standing there. Well, she looked at my name tag, and she looked at his name tag," Keith deShazo said with a chuckle, "and she said, 'I've really had it now! I can't believe there's two of y'all!'"
All four men stressed that, in their line of work, support from spouses and family members is more important than in most jobs. Fortunately, said Keith deShazo, "My mom loves [the police]. I don't know anyone who loves it more than her."
"You've got to have the support of your spouse in this work," agreed his father, "because if you have children, [spouses] bring them up. When I started, we worked 60-hour weeks, including evenings and midnights. You were gone."
Jeff Quesinberry said his mother often jokes about the family choice of career, but she is proud just the same. "She gives Dad a hard time all the time," he said with a laugh. "She thinks I went in [the force] because of all his war stories." As for fatherly pride, just ask Steve Quesinberry what he thinks about his son's success and recent promotion.
"To look at Jeff – and I know Raleigh feels the same way about Keith -- it's like we're on the same baseball team," said Quesinberry. "He plays good, I play good.
"And now it's like he just hit one out of the park, and I'm going to go sit on the bench a few minutes and just watch him play. "
Also recognized at the July 31 ceremony were Anthony T. Dowdy, promoted to lieutenant; Animal Protection Officer Brandon N. Bohr, promoted to Animal Protection sergeant; and Detective Charles E. Hanna, promoted to sergeant.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

Tomoki Kameda will return for his next title defense on November 1 in Chicago, against Alejandro Hernandez.
It's not a busy week, but there are some name fighters in action this weekend, headlined by Ruslan Provodnikov facing Chris Algieri on HBO.
Sergey Kovalev returns to defend the WBO light heavyweight title against Cedric Agnew on HBO Boxing After Dark, while Stuart Hall defends the IBF bantamweight title against Martin Ward on BoxNation.

Marvin Sonsona fought Alejandro Hernandez at Rumble at Rama X in Rama, Ontario to a draw on Saturday. Sonsona was stripped of his WBO Super Flyweight title earlier for not making weight. Since his last fight, he has gained two inches in height and wasn't able to get down to 115. He plans on moving up to the super bantamweight division for his next fight. HT: TSN
Rodel Mayol shocked Edgar Sosa in two rounds, and Marvin Sonsona fought to a draw with Alejandro Hernandez. Bad Left Hook discusses the ramifications.
Marvin Sonsona missed weight for his 115-pound title defense tonight in Rama, Ontario. His WBO title is now vacant.
Well that didn't take too long, but should have been foreseeable. In Ontario, weigh-ins are still on the same day as the fight, so it's a little tougher to drain enough anyway. Sonsona is huge for a super flyweight, and he'll likely be skipping bantamweight completely and moving up to super bantamweight, setting up a potential fight with Steve Molitor. Tonight, he'll still face Alejandro Hernandez on TSN at Casino Rama, but only Hernandez will be able to come home with a belt, if he wins. Molitor will be keeping busy on the undercard.

New Children's Book Highlights Shelter Pets
Original post made by F. Dahlstrom on Dec 12, 2012
In A Home for Charlie (www.ahomeforcharliebook.com)you meet Charlie who is living on the streets and finding his own food and a warm, quiet place to sleep.
A Home for Charlie is raising awareness with children and their caregivers about the importance of adopting a shelter pet and focuses on how so many pets do not have homes to live in.
The author has done a number of readings in local pre-school classrooms and children are loving Charlie's heartwarming story. A portion of the proceeds are being donated to Tri-valley Animal Rescue and Berkeley Animal Care Services.
You can order the book for $9.99 from www.ahomeforcharliebook.com and the author will inscribe it for you!
A Home for Charlie is also available from Amazon: Web Link
The author will be reading and signing books at the Dublin Petsmart December 22nd from 11:00 am - 4:00 pm. Readings will be one the hour. Holiday cookies will also be served!
Be sure to take a peek at the website and the book's reviews on Amazon. The book would make a terrific holiday gift for animal lovers and children everywhere.

This is terrific! Good on you, Fern.
Is there a local place where we can buy these books in quantity, in case we had a favorite kid-based charity for the Holidays? You've got me all inspired.
on Dec 12, 2012 at 3:06 pm
If anyone is so inclined, Sleep Train's Dublin location will take delivery and responsibility for as many books as you choose to buy on the book's website (they are two bucks more from Amazon, but you can get free shipping > $25).
Their address is Sleep Train, 7916 Dublin Boulevard, Dublin, CA 94568. "Larry" is the manager to whom I spoke -- you might address it c/o him -- seems like a good guy.
Remember, "Not everyone can be a foster parent ... "
on Dec 12, 2012 at 3:33 pm
Such a lovely idea!
Let me know what quantity you are thinking about via email@example.com and we can chat about which distribution method is best :)
Thanks for your interest in A Home for Charlie and thinking about giving to charity.
on Dec 17, 2012 at 6:54 am
This is the perfect gift for a child for the holidays. I bought a couple copies for my grandchildren and a couple for our school library. It takes children on a journey of a shelter cat and shows that there is a home for everyone.

Cheap Eats List
Original post made by I. Eaton Moore on Jun 26, 2009
This might be tough, it's Pleasanton, and no national chain fastfood places. If it's in Dublin or Livermore it can go on the list. I don't have much so far.

I don't think Fiesta Taco is a chain, at least not a national one. It is located in that "mall" at the corner of Santa Rita and Valley - across from Safeway. I can't suggest a specific menu item, I just know that the food is reasonably good and quite inexpensive. It's got sort of a "pizza parlor" ambiance with wood tables and pinball games and it's popular with the teens, but I like it. Here's some info on it:

The stability of the financial system and the potential for systemic events to alter its function have long been critical issues for central bankers and researchers. Recent events suggest that older models of systemic shocks might no longer capture all of the possible paths of such disturbances or account for the increasing complexity of the financial system. To help assess these concerns, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the NRC cosponsored a conference that brought together engineers, scientists, economists, and financial market experts to promote better understanding of systemic risk in a variety of fields. The book presents an examination of tools used in ecology and engineering to study systemic collapse in those areas; a review of current trends in economic research on systemic risk, the payments system, and the market of interbank funds; and for context, descriptions of how systemic risk in the financial system affects trading activities.

Clinton — Police arrested a New London woman who they say was involved in the November burglary of the Town and Country Market on Glenwood Road.
Police obtained an arrest warrant and charged Brandy Williamson, 32, of 62 Jay St.,with two counts of conspiracy to commit third-degree burglary, third-degree larceny and first-degree criminal mischief.
Police said they responded to the market on Nov. 28. It was the second burglary that occurred in the store within a month.
After an extensive investigation, police said they were able to identify Williamson and another suspect, Anthony Guddo, as the burglars. Police said the pair are responsible for numerous burglaries across the shoreline.
Guddo's arrest is pending as he is currently incarcerated on numerous robbery and burglary charges.
Williamson is being held on a $100,000 bond, pending her arraignment today in Middlesex Superior Court.

The work of two women, Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West, is presented by many. Luna Stage premieres 'Vita and Virginia', written by Eileen Atkins, in New Jersey, with performances starting this weekend. Directed by Jane Mandel, and starring Mona Hennessy as Virginia Woolf and Rachel Black-Spaulding as Vita Sackville-West, the show was introduced Sunday to the public by South Orange resident and Virginia Woolf scholar, Professor Anne Fernald. The play is based on letters the two writers exchanged over a period of some 20 years. Performances continue through October 28.
Mandel describes 'Vita and Virginia' as the story of "two exceptional women struggling to navigate their lives, their work and their need for intimacy in a world full of expectations and societal assumptions." As Fernald explained in a post-show "talk back" session, the two women, both prolific writers and well-known in their time, saw friendship and intimacy bridge a gap of age and class. Woolf was middle class, while Sackville-West was an aristocrat, whose titles, the Honorable Victoria Mary Sackville-West, then Lady Nicolson, hint at her position in society.
Sackville-West traveled widely and loved passionately. Woolf, more of a homebody, was inspired to write Orlando by described by Sackville-West. Sackville-West's son Nigel Nicolson described the book as "the longest and most charming love-letter in literature."
The Luna Stage production allows audience members a similar intimacy with the actors, decor and even the production's props. The play spans the years 1921 through 1941. In the later years, Woolf described "a battle against depression routed by clearing out the kitchen."
However, the Blitz combined with personal factors to worsen Woolf's depression; in March of 1941, Woolf drowned herself in the River Ouse.
As a matter of local interest, the women discuss the town of Seven Oaks, in Kent. That town is the namesake for the Colgate estate that became the Seven Oaks section of Orange.
Luna Stage will host two additional talk back sessions after the following performances:
Immediately following the 3pm matinee performance on Sunday, October 7, 2012.
Immediately following the 7:30pm performance on Thursday, October 18, 2012.
Luna Stage is located at:
555 Valley Road West Orange, NJ 07052(973) 395-5551

Here is a delicious and easy recipe that my family loves and Im sure yours will too!
Here are the ingredients you will need (Can u tell I shop at Walmart! Yay Great Value!)
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Fill a large pot of water about 3/4 full, bring to a boil and then add your shells.. Boil for 14-15 minutes or according to package directions..
While your shells are boiling, In a large bowl crack your 2 eggs and beat, then add 1/2 tbs dried parsley,
1 and a half cups ricotta cheese (I used part skim) 1/2 cup grated parmesen cheese and 1 cup shredded mozzerella cheese... stir until well combined like below..
Grab a 9x13 glass baking dish and pour about half a cup of spaghetti sauce to cover the bottom of the pan.
Once your shells are done boiling, drain and then start stuffing them with your cheese mixture and place in the baking dish. It will make about three rows.. and you may not be able to use all the shells ( I had a little leftover I didnt use)
Once you have stuffed all the shells, cover with 1 cup of mozzerella cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly! Let cool a little before eating and ENJOY :)I serve ours with yummy breadsticks and salad.. Yum!
Heres the recipe:
Three Cheese Stuffed Shells
12 oz package of Jumbo Shell Pasta
1 jar spaghetti sauce
15 oz container of Ricotta Cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 tbs dried parsley
1/2 c grated Parmesen cheese
2 c shredded Mozzerella cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Boil the shells in a large pot for 14-15 minutes or according to package directions. While shells are boiling.. Grab a large bowl and beat the 2 eggs. Then add the Ricotta, Parmesen and Mozzerella cheese and parsley.. Stir until well combined. When shells are done, drain and then start stuffing shells. In a 9x13 glass baking dish pour atleast 1/2 a cup of sauce in the bottom and place stuffed shells in a row.. you should be able to get 3 rows and may not use all of the shells. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly! ENJOY :)

It may look ridiculous, but the reasons behind the 3K run hosted by Girls Incorporated aren't so silly.
"It's tiring, but it promotes exercising because they just want girls to get out and have fun," said runner Ashley Jade Grandpre.
This is the second year Grandpre has taken part in the annual Ridiculous Red Run.
The girls are encouraged to dress up and act goofy while exercising with their friends.
"This is the best way to promote physical fitness is to do it in a fun way. If it ain't fun, you're probably not going to do it," said Carrie Robley, director of Girls Inc.
The run comes on the heels of a recent report by the South Dakota Department of Health that labels 67 percent of the state overweight or obese.
The report also says 55 percent of us don't have moderate exercise routines.
That's a trend the staff at Girls Inc. wants to curb, by promoting health and wellness starting early.
"A lot of times, kids are stationary because they're playing video games, sitting around watching TV, so this is a way for us to incorporate healthy lifestyles for girls," said health advocate Michelle Brevik.
"We talk about physical fitness, and how important it is for their heart muscle to be worked. It feels great; the girls love it. They love to be pushed, and they love how they feel when they're finished," said Shelly Vidas, a member of the Runner's Club.
This little push that may change the percentages and put 9-year-old Ashley Jade Grandpre at the front of the pack.
"When I got here, there was about 20 people in there, so I was pretty proud of myself. It feels good," said Grandpre.
The healthy encouragement didn't end when the run was over. The kids were treated to a lunch containing lean meats, whole grains, fresh fruit and vegetables.

Alumni books out now: February 2012
REZA HAZMATH, Arts'00, has published The Ethnic Penalty: Immigration, Education and the Labour Market. The book suggests that a penalty has impeded the occupational success of visible ethnic minorities during the job search, hiring and promotion process. It examines whether factors such as discrimination, an individual's social network, a firm's working culture, and a community's social trust are factors behind this apparent penalty; whilst making suggestions for improving the integration, education delivery, and labour market outcomes of ethnic minorities. The author is a sociologist at the University of Melbourne.
ROSS MCKITRICK, Artsci'88 (MA and PhD, UBC), a professor of economics at the University of Guelph, has published Economic Analysis of Economic Policy. He previously co-wrote Taken by Storm, which won a Donner Prize. The author is the grandson of Dr. M.N.Omond, who was Chaplain at Queen's before he went overseas to serve in World War 1. His grandmother Olga Harvey Omond, BA, his mother Sheila Omond McKitrick, BA, BSW, and his sister Kristy McKitrick, BA, BEd also graduated from Queen's. Please visit Dr. McKitrick's website to view more of his publications.
SARAH TUN (known as Anne Ross) Arts'82, Ed'82 has authored FREE TO BE: Defeating Insecurity, Transforming Relationships, Building Character (Essence Publishing 2012, $18.95) Born to be emotionally secure, we suffer setbacks that create anxiety, fear and shame. But through reflection, exposure to Biblical scripture and a change of attitude toward ourselves and others, we can regain the confidence and the freedom to be just how – and who – we were created to be.
STEPHEN PERRY, Sc'82, has co-authored Canadian Patent Law (LexisNexis Butterworths, $245), with his colleague Andrew Currier. This is the first modern Canadian work on patents that has been penned by patent prosecutors, rather than patent litigators or legal academics. Stephen is a founding partner of PCK (www.pckip.com), which provides patent and trademark agency services through Perry + Currier Inc. and legal services relating to the commercialization and enforcement of IP assets through Currier + Kao, LLP. Stephen lives in Toronto with his wife, Elizabeth Barr, and their youngest son, James. Their eldest son Nicholas is in his first year at Queen's.
DON SCHWEITZER, MDiv'82, has published his fourth book, The United Church of Canada: A History (Wilfred Laurier University Press $39.95). The book assembles an excellent group of Canadian scholars to recount and analyze the history of Canada's largest protestant denomination and its engagement with issues of Canadian social dynamics and private morality. The chapters both follow the church chronologically from 1925 and also focus in on six major themes such as: 'United Church Mission Goals and First Nations People', 'A Look at Ministry' and 'Jews and Palestinians: An Unresolved Conflict in the United Church Mind'. The book explores the unique ecumenical project that is the UCC and also confronts its key movements, conversations, and contributions in the story of Canadian politics and religious history. It shows a church shaped by both its Christian faith and its engagement with the changing society of Canada.
ALASDAIR ROBERTS, Artsci'88, has published America's First Great Depression: Economic Crisis and Political Disorder After the Panic of 1837 (Cornell University Press, $26). In this book, Alasdair reveals how this disaster led to epochal shifts in policy and culture, and is especially keen to demonstrate how this mid-19th century ordeal relates to America's current woes. Alasdair is a professor at Suffolk University Law School in Boston, U.S.

vacation rental description
Marylla - In between the Earth, the Sky and the Waters
Marylla calls to the artist and nature lover within you! This welcoming house is intimate, romantic, cozy and very well appointed. Garden with bird feeders and fragrant herbs. Rooftop deck to view the sun rising from the ocean and setting over the Sound. A perfect place in a perfect location!
Mar-ylla: Mar - for the Sea, Ylla-Illa-Isla - for the Island
Island of the Sea - - - A Sea Island
Marylla also happened to be an affectionate nickname my father used for my mother. I know that she would love to be here as much as we all do! Her spirit is very strong in this enchanted place of palatable energy.
Marylla is a gathering place for families, a place for inner searching and reflections, a place for becoming one with Nature. It's also a place of blending with the mists, and laughing with the gulls, dancing with dolphins, and watching baby turtles being born, then journeying to the sea.
Part of the Outer Banks barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina, Hatteras Island stretches for 72 Miles, offering the most pristine, mostly undeveloped picturesque natural beaches, both on the Atlantic and on Pamlico Sound--comprising nearly 150 miles to explore! Most of the Island is a Protected National Seashore, the first in the country. Our village is nestled on the South most tip of the Island. What is extra special about this location are the south-facing beaches and the Gulf Stream -- bringing warm waters, fresh sea breezes, a wide assortment of migratory birds and fishes and a lovely temperate climate for your stay. From here you can also catch a free ferry to yet another jewel on the Outerbanks, Ocracoke Island.
Due to the Island's magnificent remoteness it seems you have to make an extra effort to get there, as there's no easy nor quick access. This makes it even more special, because once you arrive you can't help feeling like you're in a completely different, wonderful world. This is a place where time has a new dimension, people are kind and the sounds of nature penetrate your being. A fair warning though -- once you make it here, a piece of your heart will be left behind calling you to come back, again, again, and again...
Your playground, and activities are limitless! From being a bum on the beach, walking the many paths through the dunes and looking for treasures to catching the surf on a board or lifting off the water on a kite "Canadian Hole" near Avon is considered to be the windsurfing and kite-surfing capital of the east coast.
On the Sound side, kayak silently amid the marches and spy on wildlife. Feel like climbing? Try our iconic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, the tallest in the nation. Kick off your shoes and let the sand massage your feet. Be as casual as you wish, there is no pretense living on the Island. Read in the hammock, or bicycle to town to get the fresh catch of the day. Tuna is so sweet you'll only want to have it "a la sushi" Yes, you can ride horseback in the sea foam, or view the Island from a small plane's birdlike view. You can play golf or tennis, if you wish, or visit museums and expand your knowledge of a time before ours.
Greet each day with your morning coffee or tea on our roof top deck. Listen to the gossip of birds, the murmur of the sea, inhale the fresh salty breeze, ahhhhhhh!
Yes, all your stress and troubles seem very far away-- do they even exist?
That's what Marylla does for all of us. It is light and breezy, cheerful and non-pretentious. It is grounding, yet it lets you fly. We become better here, more loving and patient, grateful and humble, smiling often.
There is the smell of rosemary brushing against your feet every time you walk up the steps, lingering, inviting...don't be bashful about adding it to your favorite dishes. There is a Laurel tree in the back whose leaves like to be picked, becoming a part of us as well. Yes, there is a lot of satisfaction in using our fully stocked and well equipped kitchen! Let your creative side take over and you won't lack any tools!
The living space is open and airy; great for keeping us together. Whether it is playing games, working on some puzzles or watching favorite movies. You may just feel like submerging in your own activity and feel the presence of your loved ones nearby. Perhaps you'll prefer to step out to the screened porch, lie in a hammock and be rocked by the vibration of singing cicadas.
Feeling sleepy yet?
Each of our bedrooms has a ceiling fan, bamboo screens on the windows, and the same light and breezy feel, interspersed with the splashes of cheerful colors, as the rest of the house. Two of the bedrooms host Queen Size Beds. In the third you'll find a "Pyramid" bunk-bed, full on the bottom and twin on the top. We provide blankets and pillows along with new, comfortable mattresses.
There is a full bath adjacent to the Master Bedroom, and another in the hallway.
But wait! You don't want to go to bed yet! There is nothing like soaking your tired body in the Hot Tub, under a full canopy of bright stars! Relax! Let the Milky Way take you on the Journey!

"I couldn't have been happier with the cards. (Took our family photo on a Sunday and received the cards on Tues.) The quality of the photo was excellent along with the paper the cards were printed on. It's also nice to have options with not only the layout but the desigh of the card itself. I chose a design that was 20 cents extra per card but it was worth it. Also, be aware of extra postage which is always stated. Being in such a hurry I missed that minor detail but again I was so happy to have cards that the extra postage was no big deal."
"We wanted to find a card that had some "non-traditional" colors to go along with our pink cozy coupe that our daughter was driving in the photo. This card was PERFECT! Every single person that received one absolutely loved it. We have even had people tell us it was their favorite card of the year. I loved having the option of adding additional photos on the back."
"Love this card because it showcased our family photo and gave it just the right amount of enhancement for the holidays. Love the many photo effects available!"
"Ok, these are expensive. Maybe the most expensive cards you can order at the holidays, but the quality is reflected in the price. The cards are very thick and the colors are rich. These are so much better than photo cards have ordered at other popular online sites! I love them."
"This card is beautiful!!! We couldn't be more pleased and are so very proud to send it to our family and friends this holiday. Thank you for an amazing product!"

And now instead, 5 things Java envies PHP for
Disclaimer: I do not want to start a religion war on Java vs. PHP. You know the old saying that we should learn a new programming language every now and then? The purpose is to get a fresh perspective and collect new ideas that we can use in our preferred platform. Every language can teach us something new, even if Java is already the standard for programmers education.
The comparison is only on web applications and dynamic websites, as PHP does not compete on the desktop. I am a PHP programmer, but I work in Java on university-related projects. If you notice something is missing from the comparisons in this list, feel free to comment and complete my depiction of Java features, and of PHP too.
Let's start.
You can't produce memory leaks
A shared nothing environment can sometimes be an hindrance, but it's definitely helping for performances and robustness. Everything in PHP is closed and destroyed at the end of the script: even if a library or resource you cannot avoid using leaks memory like there's no tomorrow, that memory will be freed at the end of the script. There is also a memory_limit directive, by the way, in case the script is doing something heavy like database population.
Even in the case of infinite recursion, a segmentation fault happen in the process currently running, which crashes. The next request can be served seamlessly, as if nothing has happened. No application state means it can't be left in an awkward state, and as some thoughtful commenters state in the comments to the previous article, no need for locks and synchronization. Multithreading in PHP is simply the use of multiple scripts (asynchronicity must be managed out of the script.)
No compilation required
I know, IDEs take care of everything and when you hit any keystroke, they simply recompile everything is out of date. However, in PHP there is no compilation step required by the programmer, and for example you run tests on the included source files. Libraries are shipped as source code and when they fail it's a matter of seconds to go to the particular line which generates the error.
The absence of explicit compilation does not mean that there are no compile-time checks: every script is compiled Just In Time before execution, and the opcodes (equivalent of bytecode) can be cached in production environments. Thus, a script with syntax errors cannot be executed at all; a class extending a not existing parent class cannot be defined. And so on. Without explicit compilation, there is one step less in testing, CI, and deployment (unless you are Facebook and invent HipHop). As far as I know, Java JIT compilers go from bytecode to native code, but they do not start from source code.
Unified platform
Choices are usually good for developers, but alternate implementations shouldn't be named with the same package and class name.
For example, when I was working with OSGi, I found out a show stopper issue was caused by the usage of a org.w3c.dom package which was different from the expected one, since Xerces wanted to use its own org.w3c.dom.Document, different from the one included with the JVM.
I have never seen duplicate class names in PHP code, even before namespaces were introduced. Maybe the scale of object-oriented code in PHP is not so high to produce such conflicts, but when you instance a class you know exactly what code you are referring to; and its source code is always there for inspection when an abstraction fails.
Database (and more) batteries included
Every supported relational database driver is usually enabled, and shipped with the binary PHP package. You can disable loading of the extensions you do not use, but enabling MySQL or Postgres for PDO is usually a matter of uncommenting a line in php.ini. No Jars to download or to pick with Maven during the build, no multiple versions incompatibilities.
And it's not only a matter of talking to a database. Just try reading a file:
File file = new File("C:\\MyFile.txt");
FileInputStream fis = null;
BufferedInputStream bis = null;
DataInputStream dis = null;
try {
fis = new FileInputStream(file);
bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
dis = new DataInputStream(bis);
while (dis.available() != 0) {
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
} catch (IOException e) {
compare with
<?php echo file_get_contents('MyFile.txt'); ?>
I know there's Apache Commons, but do I have to download and link an external library just to read a file?
I know also performance can be affected with the PHP solution, but we have fread() and similar functions if you really want to read in blocks.
Let's try with an XML file:
try {
File file = new File("c:\\MyXMLFile.xml");
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = db.parse(file);
NodeList nodeLst = doc.getElementsByTagName("employee");
for (int s = 0; s < nodeLst.getLength(); s++) {
Node fstNode = nodeLst.item(s);
if (fstNode.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
Element fstElmnt = (Element) fstNode;
NodeList fstNmElmntLst = fstElmnt.getElementsByTagName("firstname");
Element fstNmElmnt = (Element) fstNmElmntLst.item(0);
NodeList fstNm = fstNmElmnt.getChildNodes();
System.out.println("First Name : " + ((Node) fstNm.item(0)).getNodeValue());
} catch (Exception e) {
compare with:
$xml = simplexml_load_file('MyXMLFile.xml');
foreach ($xml->employee as $e) {
echo "First name: ", $e->firstname, "\n";
Again, built in the language. Let's skip JSON...
Shared hosting
Shared hosting is a bittersweet characteristic of PHP. It's cheap: in Italy you can get an host with 4 MySQL databases for less than 10 Euros, and also for free if you accept a subdomain (prices go up with required performances, technical support, and services like SSH). The money mostly covers the domain name registration. The same machine can support many websites, as nothing is in execution until a user requests a page.
It's easy to deploy to: it only needs a phpMyAdmin instance, to manage the database via browser, and some file transfer mechanism (back in the old days, FTP, but also svn or git if there is shell access). Zero configuration external to your own application and database: once you have a build, you can just drop it in the right folder, or change a symlink.
The barrier to entry is very low, which means also the average PHP programmer won't have read all of Dijkstra papers. PHP is often treated as a toy language due to the results obtained by the low-end segment of programmers, but shared hosting is one of the key points of PHP's popularity.

Giorgio your example about file reading is quite outdated! The right way to load a text file is using BufferedReader, i.e.
BufferedReader in
= new BufferedReader(new FileReader("foo.in"));
Method readLine from class DataInputStream is deprecated (and as you pointed out is more verbose).

The text-file example can be implemented with java.util.Scanner.
Scanner scanner = null; try { scanner = new Scanner(new File("C:\\Windows\\win.ini")); while(scanner.hasNextLine()) { System.out.println(scanner.nextLine()); } scanner.close(); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } finally { if(scanner != null) { scanner.close(); } }
And the XML example can implemented in a substantially shorter manner when using XPath:
XPath xPath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath(); NodeList nodeList = (NodeList) xPath.evaluate("//firstName", new InputSource("MyXMLFile.xml"), XPathConstants.NODESET); for(int i = 0; i < nodeList.getLength(); i++) { System.out.println(nodeList.item(i).getTextContent()); }

You're completely missing the point of the decorator pattern: You're not supposed to close() all streams, just the top level decorator and you should make sure to do it in a finally-clause like so:
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileInputStream("foo")); try { // ... } finally { reader.close(); }
That's it.

Batteries not included?
1) wget -P lib http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/postgresql-9.0-801.jdbc4.jar
2) add the JAR to the classpath.
Really, how hard is that? And no Maven in either hand!
Repeat the process for Commons IO for easy file reading; JDom/XStream/SimpleXML for simple XML manipulation...
PHP's magic is the shared nothing architecture and being newbie-friendly. While it provides nice scalability out-of-the-box, 99% of the projects won't demand it - the remaining 1% has budget to pay for specialists). And you don't want newbies messing with your mission-critical app.
(I must concede that back in 2000 Java was pretty confusing, touting EJB's and all that - too bad PHP and not Python filled the void)
Dewald Botha replied on Wed, 2011/01/26 - 2:04am
Look, apples with apples - Sure, Java does enterprizey things. Sure, PHP is more for the web - but is that really a XOR situation.
The thing is, since the entry level to Java is higher than that of PHP, you'd get more inexperienced developers just playing around in PHP which results in sub-standard coding and practices. That being said, I have seen some shocking Java code - I have also witnessed horrible Python and Ruby code that will make you go, 'Jikes'.
So ofcourse for every 10 'beginner' PHP developers you'd only get 1 'beginner' Java dev. I think past are the days where software engineers should be boxed into a language. Rather say, I'm a software developer that uses PHP/Java/Python/Ruby/Erlang etc... to apply my trait because of [whatever language's] awesome power.
Also boxing a language could be a horrible thing. You could use Java to write a web based CMS - and I'm sure you can use PHP to drive a banking site. Each of the languages has its pitfalls, the idea is to explore all avenues and then make a decision on that. That is why I say, 'apples with apples'.
Just my 2 cents.
Giorgio Sironi replied on Wed, 2011/01/26 - 6:55am in response to: Balint Persics
Being able to discarding static contents would definitely be handy also in PHP, for running test suites. :)
The fact that it is a mess was my point: the Api is a mix of procedural and OOP code, and apart from HipHop there are no alternative implementations. So when we talk about PHP, the language is just "what /usr/bin/php accepts".

Mladen Girazovski replied on Wed, 2011/01/26 - 8:38am in response to: Giorgio Sironi
Add that the Jar must be imported on version control or added to the build, and that should be multiplied for N libraries. Then it should be upgraded when new versions are out, or to fix bugs. Using it in an OSGi environment means also the IDE must rebuild its classpath from the OSGi metadata. There are many hidden costs to the use of external libraries.
See, you do not update something that works just because a newer version of a lib is out, last thing you want is an automated update, think about configuration management and quality assurance.
Using external libraries and managing them adds complexity, but offers flexibilty and control.
OSGi and Maven both manage dependencies (Maven at build time, OSGi at runtime), a change in the dependencies is a change to the SW itself, so it is completely natural to rebuild/repackage/redistribute the app.Apart from that i doubt that it makes much sense to compare Java and PHP, even in the context of WebApps, they are very different when it comes to the problems they solve.
As a Java developer since 10 years there is nothing i envy PHP for, sometimes i wished that is was simplier to hack up a quick & dirty prototype for the web, but that would come at the cost of having even more crappy WebApps and "Milli Vanilli" Java developers out there ;)

Hi Andy - to be honest I have seen stranger things.
Point being that it is not impossible to use PHP for that. Historically Java would be the better choice, because of its power and proven track record. The issue is that PHP has been boxed as a 'script kiddy' language.
I have worked in C, Java, Ruby, Python and PHP and to be honest I can't see a reason for not using it. The language has matured more in recent years and so has the developers using it. If you use sound principles and get engineers that could implement it accordingly, why not? Unless there is some horrible flaw in PHP which isn't present in other languages?

A bounce is an email whose delivery was rejected by the recipient email server. The reason an email is rejected for delivery determines if that bounce is considered hard or soft. MailChimp logs all bounces for each campaign as part of the campaign report. In this article we explain the difference between hard and soft bounces and how to view bounce reasons for a campaign.
Bounce types
Hard Bounces
A hard bounce indicates a permanent reason an email cannot be delivered. Hard bounced email addresses are removed automatically and immediately from the active subscribers and placed in the Cleaned portion of your list. Cleaned subscribers will be excluded from future campaign sends to this list. While there are many reasons an email address may hard bounce, below are some common reasons this could happen.
- Recipient email address does not exist
- Domain name does not exist
- Recipient email server has completely blocked delivery
Soft Bounces
Soft bounces typically indicate a temporary delivery issue to an address and are handled differently than hard bounces by MailChimp. When an email address soft bounces it means delivery to that address was attempted multiple times over the course of 3 days, but was not successful. After attempting delivery for those 3 days, we log the email address as a soft bounce on the campaign report. If that email address continues to soft bounce on subsequent campaigns, the address will eventually be considered a hard bounce and cleaned from your list. We'll allow 7 soft bounces for an email address with no subscriber activity and up to 15 soft bounces for subscribers with previous subscriber activity before converting a soft bounce into a hard bounce. While there are many reasons an email address may soft bounce, below are some common reasons this could happen.
- Mailbox is full (over quota)
- Recipient email server is down or offline
- Email message is too large
Viewing bounce reasons
We log any bounces for a campaign in the campaign report. Bounce information and headers are stored for 30 days. It's important that you check your bounces right away to ensure no valid emails bounced, that there were no syntax errors, and that you've manually cleaned your internal database if you need to.To view the bounce reasons for a campaign follow the steps below.
- Navigate to the Reports page.

A California church says "sorry" to people in North Carolina after the state passed Amendment One, recognizing marriage as only between a man and a woman.
The billboard, sponsored by the Missiongathering Christian Church in San Diego, appeared for the first time on Wednesday.
The church apologizes for what it calls "the narrow-minded, judgmental, deceptive, manipulative actions of those who denied rights and equality to so many in the Name of God."
The billboard can be seen on Billy Graham Parkway at the intersection of Wilkinson Boulevard, coming from Interstate 85 in Charlotte.
Voters in North Carolina passed Amendment One during the May primary by a large margin, but voters in Mecklenburg County voted to oppose the amendment.
Alex Roller, the church's Spiritual Formation Pastor, says the goal in putting out the message of this apology was to say to the LGBT community of North Carolina and like-minded straight allies that there are people across the country that stand in support of them.
"Know that you're not alone in this journey for the fight for marriage equality," he said. "And to say if you're an LGBT person of faith that there is a place for you; you don't have to abandon your faith to live who you are as a person."
This isn't the first time the church has taken a stance on the Christian faith and its views on homosexuality.
"We posted two billboards in San Diego in response to Proposition 8 in 2008, as a way to say that some Christians don't speak for all Christians," Roller said. "There are progressive Christians who believe in the Bible and Jesus but still support marriage equality and rights for the LGBT population."
He says the church of 300 received a lot of praise in 2008 for it's Prop 8 billboards, getting thousands of emails, phone calls and postcards thanking them.
But the billboard wasn't without it's share of criticism of well. The church is prepared to face more criticism and negative feedback in North Carolina than it did over the California billboards in 2008.
"We certainly have received a lot of negative and angry emails already," Roller said. "We are certainly all entitled to our opinions and perspectives."
The billboard cost the church $3,000 for a month period. The location was not accidental.
Before the vote on Amendment One, Reverend Billy Graham urged voters in North Carolina to support the proposed amendment.
"Watching the moral decline of our country causes me great concern," Rev. Graham said in an email to WBTV. "I believe the home and marriage is the foundation of our society and must be protected."
The 93-year-old Graham said the Bible is clear in that God's definition of marriage is between a man and a woman.
"I never thought we would have to debate the definition of marriage," Reverend Graham continued.
Roller says the billboard location was also picked because of the ability to see the billboard.
"It's right outside the airport, and it's at the intersection of Billy Graham Parkway and I-74," he said. "And because of the number of words on the billboard, we wanted it to be at a place that was prominent, but where people driving by would either be slowing down or could read the entire text while continuing."
So why would a church from California get involved in politics of North Carolina?
"North Carolina kind of came to us. When Amendment One passed, images of the Prop 8 billboard began to resurface online. Human Rights Campaign of North Carolina posted the image, and we started getting phone calls and emails from across the country and even from Canada and the UK, thanking us for the message," Roller said.
"And we thought, what if we were able to continue the message we put out there after Prop 8, and stand in solidarity with LGBT people of North Carolina and straight allies, to say there are people of faith who love and support this community and stand in solidarity with this community and we just want them to know our hearts are with you."

Route 1
Almyra, Ark, 72003
20 August 1973
Mrs. Elizabeth B. Gianelloni, Archivist
Diocese of Baton Rouge
1800 South Acadian Thruway
Baton Rouge, La. 70821
Dear Mrs. Gianellonii
I have now pursued my hobby of researching early Arkansas settlers to the
point of knowledge of your high competency and respect in the field but
still, I dare to presume on your time. I still have not been able to
find copies of the Register to examine the indices of The Cathedral records
but I have been able to order out the notary record abstracts you pusblished
on inter-library loan. I found in the Notary records 32 pages in Spanish
concerning the succession of Pierre Saunier dit Languedoc which I believe
to be pertinent to the Jardelas research I am working on...oh, the frustration
of not being able to read! Amatuers like me are truly appreciative of
the work professionals like you do.
You asked concerning Humbert DeMoruelle and Jean Dufour dit Brain d'Amour.
I am enclosing photocopies of two pages from the copy of the Catholic records
of Arkansas mentioned to you previously with marked entries thich I have
recorded in my notes as possibly connected with DeMoruelle. You do not
mention how and source of connection of party with Arkansas...soldier,
habitant, trader, trapper??? In La. Q Vol 9, p 746, 8 July 1773. (I have
in my notes abstracted) Humberto de Mourel called Sanquartier (St. Cartier)
claims 70 pesos from Mauricio Roche which was advanced to him for construction
of a kitchen which was not built as Roche died. Claim made on testamentary
executor Francisco Defeu with power of attorney by Demoreul to Guidros.
What caught my eye here was the dit as I was searching for a clue to the
SANS CARTIER name in these records. If Humbert came to Arkansas in 1770's in
a capacity of mingling with Indian tribes, the generation spread makes it
possible this could be connected as the Indian lady Marie whom Jean Bte.
Sans Cartier marries is listed as age 25. I hope this does not sound too
"way out" to you but it has been only through such 'suspects' and 'piece
togethers' that I find missing pieces in records throughout the Mississippi
Valley for my Arkansas people.
For Dufour dit Brain DfArmour...From Winston De Ville's MARRIAGE CONTRACTS
of Point Coupee p 27 dtd 28 Nov 1778...Charles Du Four, a native of the
Riviere des Arkansas, son of deceased Jean du Four and Marie Philipe Decoux
to Adrienne Deshotel, native of Point Coupee, daughter of deceased Jaques
Deshotels and deceased dame Stephan Racancourt...which I copied because of
the Arkansas reference and because of the connection of the bridefs family
with in the past with Arkansas. In the Arkansas Church records the surnames
SARRAZIN and ROLAND appear. A Cadet Francois Sarazin was godfather at an
Ark. Post baptism in 1744 La G, vol 21, p125 lists Francois, cadet of troops
and interpreter at Post of Arkansas in 1752, and Antoine Sarrazin as sons of
Anne Rolland m. 1st Sarrazin, 2nd-------(sic) and 3rd Sr. Roquancourt; in St.

GP: Doctors weighed down by Govt reforms
Doctors feel hampered by Government reforms to the NHS and patients "don't seem to be receiving the basic level of care they deserve," said a leading doctor.
Manchester based GP, Dr Chris Steele said it was paramount "patient care is placed front and centre at all time," in the NHS.
– Resident doctor on ITV's This Morning Dr Chris Steele
These are worrying times for the NHS, as doctors express considerable doubt about whether the system actually works.
Furthermore, patients don't seem to be receiving the basic level of care they deserve. The last thing any doctor wants is to see their patients suffer unnecessarily and we must address problems in the current system so that patient care is placed front and centre at all time.

The Queen City product had his ups and downs like all Freshmen. The difference is that the ups and the downs came in bunches with almost no overlap.
It was an up and down season for the New York kid. He was a surprising force on defense down the stretch. But his offense was a disappointment.
It was a strong debut effort for the Virginia native. He showed that he is the point guard of the future in 2013-14 while still showing that he needs to work on some things.
The Lexington native stepped into a starting role as the replacement for Cashmere Wright this season. He responded with an inconsistent season, one that will leaving him fighting for a job, if not...
Big Dave took a lesser role during the 2013-14 season, but he still came up with some big moments for the Bearcats.
There were many plausible culprits for the Bearcats offensive issues. The one at the top of the list is shooting or lack thereof.
Come and go as you please
The Cincinnati native did an amazing job with a team that was somewhat limited from the start. That hasn't stopped some from calling his ability into question in the wake of the loss to Harvard.

Little wonder that the 2013 Cadillac SRX is leading its brand in sales, accounting for nearly 70 percent of SUVs moving off showroom floors this year. Its prestigious stance, luxurious ride and wealth of amenities catapults GM into the highly competitive luxury market that imports have been dominating.
Add the government's five-star crash ratings, the best possible, and the SRX becomes even more of a choice for consumers looking at safety for the entire family.
While minor front-end sheet metal changes keep the exterior similar to its model introduction in 2009, the big change this year is on the inside.
For those familiar with Smartphone swipes and slides, the Cadillac User Experience -- CUE -- offers control of most functions through voice activation or touch. The infotainment interface, like many systems on the market, takes some getting used to.
After a week of test driving the top-of-the-line SRX AWD Premium, I found myself looking for excuses to swipe and slide audio and climate controls, navigation destinations and a variety of apps.
View the change this way: Before CUE, there were buttons and dials all over the center stack, and now there are just four -- volume up and down, on, off and home.
Everything else can be adjusted by voice or hand movement approaching the screen as the system anticipates your command and displays controls you probably want to adjust.
One useful tool on a recent interstate trip crossing four states was the navigation map overlaid with live weather and road construction maps, each providing advance information for the journey.
Digital screen technology is also available to change the look of driver controls for speedometer, tachometer, fuel and engine vitals. Four different digital dashboard layouts are available to fit your need for visual appearance.
Once set, three mini-screens can be further adjusted for the discriminating driver that cannot leave well enough alone.

Alber Elbaz And Geoffrey Beene, Reunited (Sort Of)-------
It was announced today that Lanvin's visionary creative director, Alber Elbaz, will receive the YMA Fashion Scholarship Fund's Geoffrey Beene Fashion Impact Award—an honor that's likely especially poignant for the designer, given that he began his career working with Beene. "It was a very beautiful relationship over almost seven years," Elbaz said of his mentor in a 2005 interview with the International Herald Tribune's Suzy Menkes. The YMA foundation, a non-for-profit organization that aids over 100 fashion students with scholarships, internships, mentorships, and career programs each year, will present Elbaz with the award at its annual dinner in New York on January 8.

The flu outbreak has hit the tri-states leaving many people home in bed, and small businesses worried how it might affect sales.
Business owners like Joyce Kuse who owns the salon A Cut Above in Quincy, says they've had some cancellations because clients have been sick.
Kuse says they haven't had any major problems yet, but it could hurt business if the outbreak gets worse.
"We've been lucky the employees have not been ill this year. It has been pretty good so far, but if some of them were sick and let's say they had 15 customers, 20 customers that day, that would definitely lower productivity," said Joyce Kuse.
Kuse wants to remind her customers that if they are sick with the flu they should just reschedule their appointment for when they get better.

Wilt's 100-point game still fascinates
The following is my column that ran on C2 of last Sunday's Press Democrat. It stands out freakishly, like the fictional Pushmi-pullyu, the two-headed creature from the old Dr. Doolittle children's stories, with each head facing an opposite direction. It's that odd, that unreal. As laughable as it is exotic. As sports accomplishments go, the legacy of Wilt Chamberlain scoring 100 points in an NBA game exists more as carnival exhibit or myth from ancient times (or at least pre-ESPN,… Read More »

Starting Wisconsin Badgers middle linebacker Chris Borland, second on the team in tackles and tackles for loss, could miss Saturday's game against undefeated Ohio State because he's still hampered by a hamstring injury, according to Jeff Potrykus of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Borland has been limited in practice this week and Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema said he would test the hamstring before the game Saturday to determine whether or not he'd play.
"He is OK," Bielema told the Journal Sentinel. "Now, each day he has gotten better. He is adamant that every day it feels better. A lot of times with an injury like that you get concerned if they start regressing and he hasn't regressed."
If Borland can't play, backup Marcus Trotter will start in his place.
Wisconsin comes into the game at 7-3 and 4-2 in the Big Ten. The Badgers are coming off a 62-14 win over Indiana last week. The team is tied with Penn State in the Big Ten Legends Division. Both teams trail undefeated Ohio State in the standings, but Ohio State is not eligible to play for the Big Ten title this season due to NCAA violations.

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous (benign) growths that develop in the muscular wall of the uterus. In this eight-minute video, Dr. Howard Richard, assistant professor of diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine, discusses a new, minimally invasive technology now being used to treat fibroids in a process known as uterine fibroid embolization.
Uterine fibroid embolization involves passing a tiny, pencil-tip sized tube (a catheter) through a tiny nick in the skin near the groin, into the arteries that feed blood to the uterus. Tiny microscopic FDA-approved particles are injected into these arteries to selectively block the blood flow to the fibroids, causing them to gradually shrink over time. Watch this video to listen to Dr. Richard and one of his patients discuss their experience with this procedure.

Prado a late scratch after fluke injury
Infielder drilled in left knee by batting practice line drive
NEW YORK -- Kelly Johnson found a way to get into the starting lineup and simultaneously provided Martin Prado reason to at least think of wearing some padding while taking grounders during batting practice.
Since Prado unseated him as the Braves' primary second baseman earlier this year, Johnson has been fighting to gain regular playing time. But drilling Prado just below the left knee with a line drive during Wednesday afternoon's batting practice at Citi Field certainly wasn't part of his plan.
After getting hit with the liner, Prado remained on the ground for about five minutes and created a scare among the other Braves who quickly surrounded him. Just when it seemed he may need to be carted off the field, the hard-nosed second baseman rose and made it back to the clubhouse with just a slight limp.
After being examined by the Braves trainers, Prado said he still wanted to start Wednesday's series finale against the Mets. But the Braves heeded caution by taking X-rays and replacing him at second base with Johnson.
Prado missed one game after getting hit above the left ankle with Matt Diaz's batting practice line drive before a July 30 game against the Marlins at Land Shark Stadium.
When a reporter asked who hit the line drive that evening, Johnson playfully replied, "It wasn't me, guys."
