Mark Van Gisbergen made his first start for Wasps since returning from injury
The England U20 scrum half raced over a minute from time to add to earlier tries from Paul Sackey, Tom Rees and Tom Voyce and wrap up a 26-13 win which sets up next Sunday's visit from Newport Gwent Dragons in the third and final group game.
Wasps welcomed back Mark van Gisbergen at full back for the first time since he injured his knee on the opening day of the season, with Tom Rees wearing the armband for the first time in the absence of Raphael Ibanez.
Phil Vickery was also rested - ruled out with a late training injury – and with Pat Barnard named in the starting line up and Michael Holford on the bench, Wasps fielded what was just about their strongest team available.
Newcastle, including a number of squad players, got the first points on the board through a Rory Clegg penalty after three minutes but Wasps made the better start with a Josh Lewsey surge taking the game into Falcons' territory.
Van Gisbergen and Sackey offered support and Wasps were in a good position until ill-discipline and then a knock-on slowed their momentum.
Danny Cipriani in action for Wasps
The game was then held up for almost ten minutes as Jamie Noon went down after a collision in midfield. After receiving lengthy treatment on the pitch, he was stretched off in what appeared to be a neck brace.
When play resumed Wasps immediately went back on the front foot and they were finally rewarded after 11 minutes when Paul Sackey went over from Van Gisbergen's offload.
It was a simple score, not converted by Danny Cipriani, but there was plenty to encourage the Wasps coaching team in the build-up.
First Sackey gathered a box kick cleanly then, from Cipriani's high kick, Wasps forced a turnover to get good field position and after quick ball from the base of the ruck, good hands from Jeremy Staunton and Van Gisbergen ensured they made it count.
There were nearly in again when Tom Voyce came off his wing just afterwards, but Sackey was unable to take his close-range pass.
Wasps retained possession though, and had Newcastle scrambling when Joe Worsley attacked from the base of the scrum.
A knock on cost them that time and when Newcastle turned their second foray into Wasps territory into points, Clegg again on target with a 31st minute penalty, McGeechan's team found themselves trailing 6-5.
It was an unlikely score. Wasps were nearly playing well but each time they threatened to put something together an error or infringement ended the attack.
Wasps' Josh Lewsey
It happened again after 34 minutes, when Van Gisbergen exploded down the line. Voyce was on his shoulder to keep the move alive but Rees was just unable to take his pass, fumbling it forward.
Another chance went begging when Cipriani was off-target with his second kick of the night five minutes before half time.
From just about the same place as his conversion attempt, the England fly-half pulled his kick again, although this time only by a matter of inches.
Wasps did go the break in front though, when they were rewarded for a monumental forwards effort that battered the heart out of the Newcastle defence.
Retaining possession superbly, they strung together eight phases of play within yards of try line before captain Rees finally ploughed over near the posts.
Cipriani got off the mark with a routine conversion and Wasps went down the tunnel 12-6 in front.
They had a great chance to extend their lead just after the restart when their scrum smashed through the Newcastle pack to set up an attacking line-out.
Newcastle held on, but only for a few minutes.
After 50 minutes Ollie Phillips, back-tracking near the corner flag, dropped Cipriani's crossfield kick and Voyce had the simplest of
Paul Sackey
tasks to dot down.
From out wide Cipriani made the conversion to stretch Wasps' lead to 19-6.
Van Gisbergen, who was having a storming game, nearly picked his way over to wrap up the bonus point, and Sackey would have done with a kinder bounce, while a long-range Cipriani penalty floated just wide as the visitors continued to dictate.
When Kiwi star Carl Hayman limped off with 15 minutes left, that should have signalled the end of the Falcons' fight.
Instead though, they dug deep and penned Wasps in their own 22.
Pat Barnard was sent to the sin bin with eight minutes remaining and his bulk was sorely missed just moments later when replacement Rob Vickers burrowed over.
Clegg's conversion closed the gap to six points, and Wasps invited them back further when they won a penalty with four minutes left, but rather than taking the three points and moving two scores clear, they kicked for touch instead.
To make matters worse, they kicked the ball dead and handed over possession.
But moments later that was all forgotten as Simpson ran home from 30m to secure the bonus point that could make all the difference in Wasps' bid to reach the last four.

Discover our hotels in Prince Frederick, Maryland, near the sandy shores of Chesapeake Bay. In no time you'll be digging for fossils along the bay beaches and cracking into spicy steamed crabs.
Our hotels in Prince Frederick make it easy to explore the beaches of Chesapeake Bay. The seaside bluffs at Calvert Cliffs State Park are packed with prehistoric fossils like shark's teeth and crustacean shells. Beachcombers can search for fossils that occasionally wash up on shore. A short drive farther south from our Prince Frederick hotels is the Calvert Marine Museum in Solomons, where you can examine a collection of the cliffs' most impressive fossils. The museum's Drum Point Lighthouse is one of Maryland's last remaining screw-pile lighthouses. A quick museum shuttle-bus ride connects to Cove Point, where a classic stark-white 19th-century lighthouse still guides ships through the night.
Guests of our Prince Frederick hotels will have little trouble finding crab houses and oyster shacks up and down Chesapeake Bay and in the tiny fishing village of Solomons. Order steamed crabs, here cooked the traditional way—in a big pot of boiling water seasoned with Old Bay spices. With mallet in hand, you break open the bright red shell to extract the sweet white meat. Wash it all down with an icy mug of beer. Savor raw oysters on the half shell, fried oysters with a squeeze of lemon or classic Maryland crab cakes.
Stay in one of our Holiday Inn Express® hotels in Prince Frederick and take to the bay waters by boat. Chesapeake Beach harbor is home to the bay's largest fleet of charter boats. Fishing trips pull in rockfish, croaker and bluefish. Sightseeing tours of Solomons' harbor leave from the Calvert Marine Museum aboard the Wm. B. Tennison, an 1899 log bugeye built for oyster dredging.

Here's a project for you to make for the sports enthusiast in your home. Sure, this one is baseballs, but how hard would it be to make them in the shape and colors of footballs, basketballs, golf balls, etc.?
What's a baseball quilt you ask? Well it's something my husband has been begging me for ever since we got married. So finally, for his 50th birthday, I made it for him. He had explained what he wanted several times over the years and I guess it just took me some time to figure out how I was going to accomplish what he wanted.
His idea was to have an all white background and just the red stitches sewn on in the appropriate places so your eyes and mind could "see" the ball even though it really wasn't there. I thought it sounded like a wonderful idea, but I just couldn't figure out how to do it.
Now that I have this one finished, I think if I just zeroed in on one baseball, I might be able to create what he was really after. However, that's another quilt and another article! So, if you have interest in putting together a baseball quilt for the baseball enthusiast in your home, here's how I did it.
1. I started with soft white cotton for my baseballs. I washed the fabric first and did some light ironing so it would at least lay flat.
2. I folded the white fabric in half lengthwise then I folded one end up as far as I needed to draw ¼ of a baseball. I kept my fabric tape measure at the corner of the four layers and made marks at 22" following the curve of the ball.
Once the marks were in place, I followed them with my scissors and cut out the only complete baseball in the quilt.
3. I then cut out portions of baseballs, though all from the same 44" circumference so they looked like they were all the same size ball, just fragments of each one. I did end up cutting out 4 complete baseballs and one of them I was able to get two pieces from making it look like there are 5 baseballs represented. I pinned them together to see how they would look and where they would overlap.
4. The edges were then ironed to the back at about ¼ inches.
5. Next, I filled in the spaces between the baseballs. If you look closely you can see that I then cut square and rectangular pieces of the brown background fabric I selected to fit and fill up the spaces between the baseballs. I pinned everything in place and then machine stitched the baseballs to the background. Then, because the dark brown fabric could be seen through the white baseballs, I trimmed off the excess background fabric close to the seams.
6. Now, the hard part….the stitching! I did use 5 different reds to make the stitching, one color for each baseball. I varied the finished length of the stitches from 3" at the longest to about 1" at the shortest to make the balls look three dimensional, but they were all ¾" wide. So, their cut size was 4" by 1 ½". I ironed all the raw edges to the back, and then when I wanted the stitches to be shorter, I cut the length and simply folded the ends over.
I pinned all the stitches for one baseball in place before I machine stitched them on so I could be sure the ball looked like it was three dimensional. To make it dimensional, the stitches were long on one side of the stitch line and short on the other side. Notice too that I had to angle the edges of the stitches that went along the stitch line.
To get the curves of the stitching, I held a real baseball in my hand and closed one eye so I saw it in two dimensions only. From this I sketched the curves of the stitching onto the white baseballs in light pencil.
As each baseball was finished, the quilt got more and more interesting and three dimensional. I kept placing it on the floor to look at it and marvel at the fact that I had really done it!
Of course I could only look at it when my husband was out of town because as you recall, this was a surprise for his 50th birthday!
7. Once all the stitching was in place, I layered a brown backing fabric with the quilt batting and the top. I pinned the three layers together and started the quilting process. I decided to follow the curves of the stitching on all the baseballs.
8. To make the background look different, I used brown yard and simply punched through from the front to the back to the front again and tied the yarns.
9. The final step was using purchased binding tape to finish off the edges!
FYI – When the quilt was complete it measured 62″ wide x 82″ tall and the baseballs ended up being about 43″ in diameter.
This is one of those projects you create in your lifetime that is never forgotten. It was hard work, it took a lot of time, and it was made with love for someone special. What could be better?

St. Louis Rams wide receiver Danny Amendola appears to be done for the season with an elbow injury. Reports today suggested that Amendola will not recover from a dislocated elbow and a torn triceps in time to help the struggling Rams this year.
Adam Caplan of Sirius/XM reported this afternoon that Amendola's season was likely finished.
Amendola was schedule to get an second opinion on his injury today from a doctor in Texans. The outcome of that consultation is not yet known. This doctor visit is expected to determine whether or not he will need surgery.
The Rams lost Amendola to a dislocated elbow in a week one loss to the Eagles. That injury did not require surgery, and the Rams were waiting for him to regain strength in the joint before putting him back on the playing field. He returned to practice last week, prior to the Rams' week four game against the Washington Redskins, where he re-injured the elbow and tore his triceps.
Quarterback Sam Bradford and the Rams offense has struggled without their top receiver from a year ago.

I tried two copies and on both autofocus was accurate and pretty fast (5D II / 7D) - nothing to complain about.
Optical the lens is perfect to me, never saw such a great performance at 1,4.
The first copy had a squeaking HSM so I returned it. The second one ist much better in terms of squeaking :-))
I heard that HSM sometimes can be "squeaky".
Some samples if you like: http://www.flickr.com/photos/62909363@N02/sets/72157632986987422/
My sigma 35 doesnt squeak but i have a 17-40 that sounds like there's a small mouse inside operating the AF. Works perfectly otherwise though.

Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill has been a hot name in NFL Draft circles lately, as many experts think he could climb into the Top 10 of the 2012 NFL Draft. One of the teams believed to be a potential landing spot for Tannehill is the Cleveland Browns, but Terry Pluto of the Cleveland Plain Dealer believes the Browns' interest is if they trade down in the draft, not at the No. 4 overall pick.
I'd still be stunned if the Browns took him at No. 4, because he is not NFL ready. That's supposed to be the case with Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck, the top two quarterbacks. I don't think the Browns' recent support of Colt McCoy is a smoke screen so they can grab Tannehill. I believe they would rather go with McCoy for another year and keep adding strong players on offense and defense with the top picks rather than jump at Tannehill.
Pluto notes that the Browns are interested in Tannehill and would like to be able to either trade down and draft him or hope that he lasts until their second first-round pick at No. 22 overall. If this is the case, this would free the Browns up to take another offensive player like running back Trent Richardson or wide receiver Justin Blackmon.

On Martinmas (November 11), a dead goose is hung feet down over a platform in front of the town hall. Young boys draw lots to have a turn at trying to knock the goose down with a blunt saber. They wear a purplish red robe, a mask in the shape of a sun, and are blindfolded. As only one attempt per boy is permitted, the spectators have ample opportunity to enjoy themselves before the goose is finally brought down and the winner applauded. Between turns, a number of children's contests take place: the children scale up a stripped pine tree, hop around in jute sacks, or compete to see who can make the ugliest face. The children's games have been part of the festivities since 1880, whereas the actual origin of the Gansabhauet, or knocking down the goose, first mentioned in 1821, is lost in the shadows of history. It may be the remainder of an ancient game which was once played with fowl all over Europe. Since 1997, a lighted parade through the darkened old city has been added to the custom practiced in the afternoon.

I traveled to the port by taxi - only took some 15 minutes! Embarkation was quick & efficient.
The cruise was definitely worth the price - food was good (I ate at the Lido buffet),room was clean, service was great,& activities were fun (I lived at karaoke). The equipment in the spa was fantastic!
I took an excursion to see the zoo & gardens at Nassau. Our bus driver (Carvin)answered all of our questions & was quite funny. He actually stretched out our excursion by about 40 minutes. Nassau also is a good port for shopping & walking around.
Any negatives? Well the cleanliness was not up to par in the buffet area & the open decks - with food left on tables for a long time. Also there were teenagers up until 12:30am doing some minor chair tipping, nothing serious. The ports of Canaveral & Freeport were a joke- enough said. The disembarkation was about one hour late but it was not Carnival's fault.
In summmary, a good cruise.

Rolls-Royce plans MoU with HAL
K.R. Srivats
New Delhi , Aug. 29
Rolls-Royce Corporation plans to enter into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Bangalore-based Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) to build a long-term strategic relationship to meet the business needs in the area of helicopters.
"We hope to have a joint roadmap by the end of this year. The MoU would spell out the focus areas," said Mr Scott A. Crislip, President (Helicopter and Small Turbine Engines), Rolls-Royce Corporation.
Helicopters are one of the principal market sectors of Rolls-Royce's defence aerospace business. Mr Crislip is on a short visit to India to hold talks with industry, including the top brass of HAL.
On whether the proposed MoU would lead to the setting up of any joint venture with HAL, Mr Crislip said: "We don't have any preconceived ideas of what the solution should be. We have to work with partners to find joint solutions. There are tremendous growth opportunities for helicopters here. This is one of the reasons why we want to be early entrants in the Indian market and have good partners."
Rolls-Royce Corporation, which is a long-term supplier of aero-engines to the Indian military, is currently in the race for bagging the 197-unit Army helicopter requirement.
The company has partnered with Bell Helicopters for the Army order. The Rolls-Royce model 250-C47S engine would power the Bell 407 that is being offered to the Army.
The first phase of the programme involves the delivery of 60 commercial off-the-shelf Rolls-Royce model 250-C47S engines for the Bell helicopters.
The subsequent three phases of the programme involve local assembly and co-production of an additional 137 engines with HAL.
"We are anticipating commercial bid opening in the next 60 days for the 197 helicopters requirement," said Mr Jim Payton, Director (OEM Sales and International Business Development), Rolls-Royce.
Rolls Royce has had a licence-manufacturing partnership with HAL since 1956.
HAL has been manufacturing the Adour Mk811 for the Jaguar since 1978.
HAL would also licence manufacture the Adour 871 for the new Hawk AJT.

With a not so perfect Memorial Day behind us, and before I move on to the next activities on the Veteran Council's agenda, I want to extend my thanks to those many citizens who braved the cool, damp day and made time in their busy schedule to be a part of our memorial tribute to those comrades who gave there all for their country.
Additional thanks is extended to Reverand Ronald Lumm, the Mayor, Mr. Mike Gallmeier, the Police and Fire Departments, the EMS, St. John's High School Band, the Cub Scouts, Jefferson Jr. High Band, and The Delphos Jefferson High School Band. Without these organizations there would be no parade to honor our fallen heroes.
My appreciation also goes out to the men and women of the Veteran's Council. These are the comrades who perform the veterans' funeral services, year round, in all kinds of weather at the request of the family of a deceased veteran. These veteran members display the protocol necessary to honor all the comrades who have gone before us.
Additionally, I would like to recognize the VFW, their Color Guard and Ladies Auxiliary, the American Legion and their Ladies Auxiliary.
Other participants deserving a vote of gratitude include the individual presenters that placed flowers in remembrance of our veterans. Those individuals include American Legion Commander Larry Grothouse, Ladies Auxiliary President Sharon Miller, VFW Commander Michael Hughes, Ladies Auxiliary President Mary Grothause, Military Order of Cooties (MOC) Representative, John Williams and Richard Schuck for honoring the POW/MIA'S.
A heartfelt thanks goes out to Doug Harter Jr. who once again has filled our need for the playing of taps.
Finally on my list, are two people that made everything come together. A special thanks goes to Dave Roach, the Master of Ceremonies. Dave has managed to make sense from what I give him as well as keep the program moving. A job well done.
The final person to compliment for the successful ceremony with his thoughts was 1st Sergeant Paul Joseph, our guest speaker. His awakening remarks on, "Attrition of the Truth," as well as where we should be, has opened peoples' ears to today's ways. Something going forward could become reality we may not want or expect. We must remember our history and not allow it to be rewritten.
"Lest we forget". "Do not forget!"

Winning has become commonplace for the girls on the Ransom Everglades water polo team. The Raiders captured their fourth consecutive state title behind the play of a strong core of talent last season.
In the last half-decade, Ransom has emerged as the dominant force in girls' water polo after years of struggling to overcome its rivals. The school consistently has been able to fill its rosters with some of the best players in the county and state.
This year's team is no different.
"Every year we set our goals really high," Ransom coach Eric Lefebvre said. "Our bull's-eye is even bigger."
Led by junior Chelsea Johnson, sophomore Sofia Rivas and freshman Sofia Carrera-Justiz, the Raiders are younger than in previous championship seasons but still have more "big-game" experience than just about anyone.
"We have really strong girls and really good shooters," Johnson said. "We play to our abilities. It's looking good."
Although not being hit particularly hard by graduation, the Raiders will have to adapt to losing super-star goalie Ashleigh Johnson. Ashleigh, Chelsea's older sister, had been one the most dominant players at her position in recent state history and will be a tough piece to replace.
"Having a freshman goalie come in is going to be a big challenge," Lefebvre said. "We are going to have to set up a whole new chemistry."
While dreading having to replace Ashleigh, Lefebvre has been planning for the moment for some time. Last season, Ashleigh split time in goal with Claire McDowell in an effort to better prepare the younger player.
"[McDowell] had more blocks than Ashleigh did because she played in the goal more," Lefebvre said. "Ashleigh was willing to let her get the feel for it, and hopefully she'll be ready for it."
The Raiders will face tough competition once the playoffs start. A number of teams across Florida have legitimate shots at knocking off the defending champions. One of Ransom's biggest obstacles will come from inside Miami-Dade County. Gulliver Prep, Ransom's biggest rival, has retooled with a talented squad. Gulliver gave Ransom a tough match in last season's state quarterfinal, losing 8-7.
"Gulliver has some new kids that have strengthened their team," Lefebvre said. "We have to be ready to play against them."
Featuring senior Katja Rocha, junior Camila Schafer and sophomore Alexandra Guerra, Gulliver understands that to be the best in the state, it will need to defeat Ransom in the process.
"Both teams are really good this season," Schafer said. "I'm excited to play Ransom."
Boys' contenders
After losing three key senior, defending state champions Gulliver Prep will have to adapt with a younger team. The Raiders retained a core of experienced starters and also have added a number of freshmen.
"We are going to have a younger, more inexperienced group coming up," Gulliver coach Carroll Vaughan.
Junior Jonathan Chow, senior Hunter Pelletier and sophomore Andres Guerra make up the Raiders' three-headed attack that combined for 156 goals last season. The trio has helped the younger players better understand the challenges of the grueling season.
"The younger kids are making leaps," Vaughan said. "They are playing like a team."
One of the biggest threats the Raiders will face in trying to repeat as state champions will come from Belen Jesuit. The Wolverines have five seniors on their roster, including Jake Guso and Herzen Cortez.
The pair has been a driving force for the Wolverines' offense, scoring a combined 165 goals last season. The Wolverines lost two players to graduation and are predicted by some to be the early favorites to win the state title.
"Guso and Herzen have a thorough understanding of the mechanics of the game," second-year Belen coach Jimmy Aguilera said. "Expectations are high."

A Crazy Little Thing Called Hope
Something wonderful is happening for cats at the shelter. Here's the story.
Our shelter has one communal room where cats can move about freely. All our other cats live in kennels. They have not had a designated play area and have had to wait for our multi-purpose, cat evaluation and adopter get-acquainted room to be empty in order to stretch their legs, play, race around the room and cuddle with volunteers. Now, thanks to a grant from Petfinder Foundation Rescue U and BISSELL Pet Foundation, a play room has been built. Our cheerful and generous dogs, who get outside to play at least once a day, gave up two kennels that were remodeled into cat play space.
This ability to play is serious business for our cats. Stress is a problem for shelter cats and stress leads to illness, most commonly upper respiratory infections. The ability to play and socialize helps reduce stress and we think our cats will be healthier as a result. We have that crazy little thing called hope – hope that this playroom will, literally, save lives.
As always, we strive to use your support to create new possibilities. Whether you volunteer, donate or adopt, we are grateful for the hope you bring to the animals at our shelter.
CRHS is a member of the No More Homeless Pets Partnership.
We recently received a grant from Best Friends Animal Society to reduce the adoption fee for select animals who might be harder to place because of a medical condition, breed or personality trait such as shyness. For these animals there is a $40 reduction in the adoption fee, $20 from the grant matched by $20 from CRHS.

County pitches meals tax to legislators
Henrico County officials made their pitch for a 4-percent meals tax to the county's General Assembly delegation last week, telling the group that the proposed tax was their last resort to create revenue and close an $18-million shortfall in next year's budget before raising real estate taxes, cutting services or laying off employees.
Henrico lacks the authority to implement such a tax on its own, so officials want the General Assembly to grant it that authority, with the provision that the county's Board of Supervisors must unanimously support it.
A total of 204 other Virginia localities already have meals taxes, including 45 other counties – four of which were specifically granted the right to implement the tax by the General Assembly.
"We have evaluated all the alternatives, and this has the very least consequence," County Manager Virgil Hazelett told the nine delegates and senators who attended. "People will object – some people – but they will not object to police officers, to teachers [and other county services]."
Hazelett and Finance Director Brandon Hinton presented an impassioned argument to the Assembly delegation, recounting how in just their past three fiscal years, they have trimmed nearly $97 million from their total budget and eliminated or frozen 721 vacant government and school positions in an attempt to compensate for $84 million in lost revenue from declining real estate taxes and state funding.
The county also has refunded $317 million in debt through bond refinancing since 2009 and has weathered the storm without cutting services, laying off any employees or raising taxes, Hazelett said.
But a significant jump in the amount localities must pay into the Virginia Retirement System on behalf of employees looms large on the horizon, as do road maintenance and construction needs in Henrico that total $418 million but have no current funding source.
County officials have pointed to the fact that Henrico is the only state locality that maintains its own secondary road system but lacks the authority to collect a meals tax. (Arlington, the only other county that maintains its own roads, was granted the right to implement such a tax in 1990.) Locally, Richmond imposes a 6 percent meals tax, Ashland a 5 percent tax and Louisa County a 4 percent tax.
Henrico officials estimate that about 40 percent of all prepared meals purchased in the county are bought by non-Henrico residents, which would lessen the impact of such a tax on county residents. And unlike a real estate tax increase, residents would be free to avoid a meals tax by not dining out or by limiting their dining excursions, Board chairman Dick Glover said.
"A meals tax is not something we'd impose on them that they can't dodge if they want to," Glover said.
A 4-percent meals tax would generate between $18 million and $20 million annually, Hazelett estimated. He and board members told the Assembly delegation that they likely would not designate that money for any one particular use but rather apply it as needed.
Delegate Jimmie Massie wondered aloud whether it would be difficult to convince other members of the General Assembly to support a tax increase for just one locality.
Deputy County Manager John Vithoulkas, who will assume Hazelett's position in mid-January, suggested that the delegation could take another route by supporting the passage of language that would authorize all counties that maintain their own road systems to have the same taxing authorities as cities. (Cities inherently have the right to implement meals, cigarette and admissions taxes.)
Henrico could enact a meals tax if a majority of voters supported the idea in a referendum, but they seem leery of trying that route again after voters defeated it in 2005 by 153 votes.
Varina District Supervisor Tyrone Nelson told the delegation that without the Assembly's approval of the issue, Henrico's would not survive unscathed.
"If you can't support a meals tax, then our issues are not going to go away," he said. "This is a last resort. A tax is going to come up or we will have to cut services or lay people off. We don't do that in Henrico, and we don't want to do this, but this is where we are. We need your help."

Journey to mediocrity
'The Hundred-Foot Journey' fails to capitalize on tasty concept
The Hundred-Foot Journey is a curious little Romeo and Juliet of a film. A family, forced out of their native India, begins a trek across Europe.
The family's sole mode of transportation sputters and dies in a sleepy little French town, but the town's food culture is high, and that's a perfect place for a family of restaurateurs to settle down. There's only one problem – the family's rustic "Maison Mumbai" is right across the street (a hundred feet away, if the title didn't clue you in) from a prestigious French bistro with a Michelin star, run with an iron fist by the dreaded Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren, pictured).
It's here that a particular Romeo and Juliet story begins to develop, with Hassan (Manish Dayal) on the Indian side and Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) on the French side. > Read more.

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.

While the Yankees' bullpen situation has stabilized — for now — with Rafael Soriano installed as closer, Mariano Rivera still awaits the knee surgery that will allow him to return in 2013. Mark Feinsand:
Rivera, who made an appearance Thursday at a charity dinner at Sofrito on the East Side for Carlos Beltran's baseball academy in Puerto Rico, still doesn't have a time frame for surgery on his knee.
"I'm good. I'm feeling good," said Rivera, who walked with a slight limp. "We're thinking about (the timetable)."
Asked if he misses the game, Rivera said: "I miss it a lot. It is (killing me)."
Rivera, who will turn 43 in November, still hopes to return to the game so he can go out on his own terms, rather than via the gruesome knee injury he suffered in Kansas City. Even if you're not a Yankees fan, you have to be rooting for him to make it back.

This is an excellent buy! I bought this case of 6 for myself and my son. They are great for people with curyl hair and are very good for preventing wrinkles on the face. Even my husband wants his own. I have had them for over a year now and have had no problems with wear and tear. Excellent product.
I've had these pillow cases about 3 weeks and I love them! Would recommend themto anyone. The wash well and the zippers keep the pillows from slipping out. And the price was right! I just wish they were offered in King size and in additional colors.
When I saw these satin pillow covers I immediately thought of the contour pillows I have and ordered them. They fit the contour pillows perfectly and stay in place with the zipper. The first thing I noticed in the morning was that my hair was not all messed up even though I do a lot of turning. I also noticed my face to look better and smoother. I have given part of my covers to several people to try and they are also amazed, they work great on regular pillows too. I hope that you will keep them in stock, they are excellent in every way. Thank you Overstock.
****** for six? Only downside to these; zipper. But it hasn't bothered me. I got these to prevent wrinkles on my face, and yep, it works.
I bought these for my mom hoping to help her with her fine textured hair that always seems to be left on her pillow. My mom has been more than happy with these and finds much less if any hair left on her pillow. So far I have been very happy with all of my purchases weather they be for me or being sent as a gift. Shipping is always fast.
I have similar satin pillow cases from another store and they are thicker and silkier, but they don't sell them anymore. These are still good for the price.
Satin pillow covers have been washed several times in hot water (no dryer) and seem to be holding up great. For the price, I might buy more in the future.
I read some of the reviews about the zipper issues, and while I agree there is a noticeable zipper closure, for about $5 a pillow case, I can't really complain. These are perfect to keep hair smooth and there are enough in the pack that I always have a few clean and ready to go. Fast shipping as well.
I bought these satin pillow cases recently, hoping to be able to use them instead of having to wear the satin hair protector I am used to wearing every night. I am very satisfied and so much more comfortable not having to wear the cap. They fit the pillows snugly and look nice.
I bought these based on the positive reviews as well as the over-fluffed item description but find them a real disappointment. So far from not damaging my hair, these actually develop static electricity so that I woke up with my hair sticking out everywhere and difficult to manage (I actually had to use an antistatic clothing spray to get my hair to lay down after sleeping on these). They also caused my pillows to slide during the night, keeping me awake searching for something to put under my head (the cat did not appreciate being a pillow substitute but she accepted it philosophically). Additionally, I have down pillows, and part of my expectation was that these would help prevent feathers from coming through but the weave is too loose, allowing feathers to poke my face during the night. While I acknowledge that these are not touted as such, even my basic cotton pillow cases manage to prevent feathers from coming through. As far as appearance, they are not top quality and are, frankly, unattractive but the cost reflects that so it is as expected in that department. Sheerly for the alleged virtue of preventing damage to hair, I would not recommend this product, and I certainly would never leave these on my pillows for anyone to see. do yourself a favor and invest in a quality product.

Gov. Romney has vetoed the section of the FY07 state budget that deals with state employee group health insurance. Specifically, he has vetoed the section that would maintain the health insurance premiums at 85/15 for state employees hired prior to June 30, 2003, and at 80/20 for state employees hired after that date. The net effect of this veto will force state employees to pay 25 percent for their group health insurance premiums. MTA is working with other labor unions to have this veto overridden. Please contact your state legislators and urge them to override this veto so state employees are not forced to assume an enormous increase in the cost of their health insurance.

By apparently planning to wait until the last minute of a June 15 deadline to sign his qualifying contract offer of $1.759 million, we hear restricted free agent Deuce Lutui could face a real challenge hanging on to his ...
Faneca best bet at left guard for Cardinals
Don't be surprised if newly acquired nine-time Pro Bowler Alan Faneca becomes the Cardinals' new starting left guard in the not-too-distant future.
The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to terms with Lutui on a one-year deal.||||||| Lutui played for head coach Pete Carroll at USC before spending the last six seasons with the Arizona Cardinals. Lutui could potentially challenge for the starting job at left guard after the release of Robert Gallery last month.
The Bengals have agreed on contract terms with Lutui.||||||| Lutui started 72 games for the Cardinals from 2006-10. He was one of Arizona's 15 unrestricted free agents. Getting depth for the line was one of Cincinnati's priorities heading into the offseason.
Late in the loss to the 49ers, TV cameras showed quarterback Derek Anderson sharing a laugh with Lutui on the sideline.||||||| Lutui is part of an abysmal offensive line that has produced the second-worst rushing attack in the NFL - ahead of only NFC West rival Seattle. Now he seems to be a distraction to the starting quarterback. Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt said he didn't see Anderson and Lutui smiling, and didn't want to comment until he saw the tape.
Lutui has signed his one-year qualifying offer from the Cardinals.||||||| Lutui had to sign the offer of about $1.8 million by Tuesday or the Cardinals would have reduced it to about $588,000 - 110 percent of his 2009 pay. Lutui has started every game for the past two seasons. He was hoping for a long-term contract but the Cardinals made it clear that was not going to happen.

What a huge treat for devotees of classic television ... one of the most beloved sitcoms of all time, with all five of its CBS seasons combined in a new Blu-ray set. Van Dyke had tried home-screen work earlier, but he struck enduring prime-time gold with Carl Reiner's creation about Rob Petrie, family man and writer for "The Alan Brady Show" (with Reiner himself as Brady).

Now that Judge Stephen Reinhardt struck down Proposition 8 in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, supporters and opponents of the same sex marriage ban await the inevitable appeal to U.S. Supreme Court. Constitutional legal experts expect a close vote, but Professor Jason Mazzone anticipates the law will ultimately be struck down.
"The votes are there [at the Supreme Court] to hold that bans on same-sex marriage violate equal protection," he argued in the Huffington Post. "The four dependable liberal justices would do it. And I think [Justice Anthony] Kennedy would be inclined to do it. He's getting old, he's not going to be there a whole lot longer, and he knows historically how [the same-sex marriage debate] is going to turn out. This is not a Justice that wants to be on the wrong side of history."

It has been more than a year since the search began for the man believed to have killed an East Texas motorcyclist in a hit-and-run wreck.
One year ago Monday, 65-year-old Jacky Wayne Johnston, known to friends as "ZZ," was turning into his driveway when a truck hit him from behind.
Monday was a painful day for the Johnston family, as his sons Kody and Michael, along with their family and friends, gathered to place a handmade wooden cross by the highway sign marking the place where Johnston's life was taken. "It has been a long year, but I think the wait is the hardest part; waiting for somebody to come forward with some information," says one of Johnston's sons, Kody Johnston.Both of Johnston's sons say it has also been hard helping their own children cope with the loss of their grandfather."We just got through moving and running across little things that belonged to my dad, and my son will remember, [things that were] Papa Z's. It hits hard when he remembers and says something about it," says Kody.For those who knew Johnston, and pass his home on Highway 64 each day, the sign and crosses serve as a reminder that the person who hit him, still hasn't been found. "They're going to catch him. I have complete faith that they're going to get him one day," says one of Johnston's sons, Michael Penneston."We will never give up on it. If he thinks for a minute that he has gotten away with something, he's way off," says Kody.Gas station surveillance video was one of the first clues authorities had in Johnston's death. In the video, you can see the truck that hit him continue down the road with Johnston's bike still lodged underneath it. Authorities say Johnston was thrown from the motorcycle on impact. DPS has reason to believe the man behind the wheel was Eduardo Viramontes of Ben Wheeler. Sunday afternoon in Kilgore, a crowd of Johnston's loved ones released 200 balloons in his memory. On a Facebook page, nearly 1,000 people continue to follow his family's quest for justice-- offering prayers, thoughts and memories. "It's the little things that you don't realize when you have your dad, that you really miss when he's gone," says Kody.
Last August, an arrest warrant was issued for Viramontes, but authorities say he is still on the run. Johnston's family is offering a $10,000 dollar reward to the person who brings authorities the information that leads to his arrest and conviction.

The Official Bridge Thread
Well, I'm not too experienced with bridges but I would
like to become more familiar with them.
I just got a 1984 BC Rich Stealth and it has a Kahler
floating bridge and a locking nut. It looks complicated
compared to other bridges I've seen out there.
I would like to know about all bridges used on electric
guitars and what their advantages/disadvantages
(technical, maintenance, etc) and what your opinions
are of them.
I appreciate your help metal heads.
Kahler bridges are all pretty damn good, a bit more sturdy then OFR's (original floyd roses)
I have an old Edge trem in my '89 rg750, great trem, really doesnt go out of tune, much better then ibanez trems these days and especially better then all of the immitation licenced china crap. this trem holds its tune 10x better then the licenced floyd I had in a Dinky.
advantages : kickass dimebag sounds, full trem, super sturdy, stays in tune for ages (well, mine does)
disadvantages : string changing is a bitch!! (TIP: cut the ball end of the string so you only have to cut it ONCE!) using different gauges will result in a messed up trem, you'll need to sort it out again with the springs and shit (pain in the ass)
In my opinion the Floyd Rose tremolo are by far the worst with the exeception of the Vintage style system. They have the least amount of adjusting options in comparision to other systems (ie Kahler Flatmounts, and Wonderbars). Also when you use it, the string height changes, it may not be much in most cases but its enough to be annoying. Also the the Fine tuners are just barely in the way enough to get rubbed occasionally. I have also found that they dont palm mute as well as others. And since its a floating system its the biggest pain in the ass to change your tuning.
Now my 2nd favorite tremolo bridge is the Kahler Flatmount. It has a nice feel. individual saddle height adjustment, something the floyd rose doesnt have. the string height is the same whether your playing normal or have the whammy bar pushed all the way to the body. Since its not a floating system, you can change tuning much much easier. Palm muting is also very good too.
My favorite tremolo is the Washburn Wonderbar. it takes the kahler a step further. its a true flatmount, so it will mount to anything without routing. it has individual saddle height adjustment, the intonation adjustment has the widest adjustment range. The fine tuners are mounted horizontal so there out of the way. Again since its not a floating system, changing the tuning is really easy. String height is constant like on the Kahler. Its a shame they stopped making them.
Sorry for all you people out there that like the Floyd Rose. This is just my opinion
Floyds are great if you acually know how to use them. Its not that difficult. I can have my guitar tuned to C with a set of 10-46 and it still has great tension like ime playing in e. But i did have to put a shim under the nut, no biggie. Kahlers are better though but there also more expensive. They give you a better tone due to the amount of wood that is saved, theres no trem cavity. But if you want it to stay in tune well you have to solder the strings. They both take about the same amount of time to set up in my opinion, but ive been using Floyds for about 4 years now. Heres a good site that has alot of info on the Kahler http://www.glowingtubes.com/p/Kahler_Instructions.htm and heres one about Floyds http://www.glowingtubes.com/p/FloydTuning.htm
ihave the edgepro II on my rg350dx. lemme tell you that mother stays in tune like you wouldn't believe. now it's time for good ol freek to tell a story
i went to grab my tuner because i figured it would have gona flat a little bit because it's been a whle since i locked the nut. well what do ya know. 1 month after locking it and it's DEAD PERFECT. go figure :D
both my ibanezs have the licensed floyds, i disabled them both. one by placing screws on the inside and taking out the springs, and weird complicated shit. it wouldnt be to hard to undo, but it was a pain to do, so in my other ibanez, i've wedged a jenga block in it.
the only reason i disabled them is because everytime i broke one string the tuning of the rest of the strings would go up about a half step, making me completely out of tune with the other guitarist so i couldnt play the rest of the song unless i had a backup guitar.
i like the availablity of a whammy and stuff. but seeing how crazy i get at practice and on stage, i broke strings quite a bit, so staying in tune when i broke a string was a bigger priority to me. besides, theres a "whammy" pedal :cool: .
i love ibanezs, but i didnt have the option of an rg or pgm without a floyd style trem. so i did what i had to do, sorry stevie ray.
You just said you have atleast two guitars, meaing a backup. Use the trem man they kick ass.
i hate trems, a good old string-thru body w/ a tonepros adjustable bridge will do me just fine, thanks
the thing is, i don't always have two guitars with me, and its a pain to not be able to finish the rest of a song with just one guitar. because if a break a string, the whole guitar immediately becomes useless, instead of just being able to finish the rest of the song with out a high e or something.
Well we've heard the downsides now, if you break a string, you're fucked.
if you detune a lot, don't even think about getting a floyd, it takes a while to adjust.
I don't care because I allways use the same tuning and same strings, my setup is perfect for me and I can't imagine playing without a trem... theres a LOT of differences in the floyds, the OFR's, old Edges, new edges, licenced, the worst I've had was the one they have in the jackson dinky (korean) those trems are terrible, same goes for most ibanez's nowadays, I'm really happy with my old edge on my RG though, they only put descent edges on the vai models and shit these days, just compare a rg550 to a vai and check out the difference in trem, no wonder the edge stays in tune better.
I've played the esp haneman, which has a great kahler trem, it didn't feel much more sturdy then my edge though, but it surely wasn't crap, I've had some guitars without trems which got out of tune more then my RG, I love my edge...
floating trems can be a huge pain. for changing string gauge, detuning, restringing, and string breaking.
if none of these factors are a huge deal to you, go for it. i'd enjoy the option of having a trem, but its not worth it to me., my next few guitars probably wont have floating trems, and if they do, i can just disable them.
Yeah, that's a good link there BLS.
When I initially got my Stealth, it was somewhat out of tune. I wasn't familiar enough with the Kahler so what I ended up thinking is that you could only tune with the pegs. Well, when I loosened the locking nut with the allen key, the high E snapped right at the locking nut (one locking nut per 2 strings = 3 locking nuts total). I've changed the strings since then and now know to tune a step or two flat before tightening the locking nut. I don't know the reason why it would snap, the high E was flat to start of with.
I noticed a significant increase in playability from my Strat to my Stealth. It's much simpler to palm mute and tremelo pick, with increased speed. The reason may be that the kahler ball bearing rollers are set high, above the guitar, which makes it feel like a much more natural hand position for metal (It's a shredder guitar by design). How are the other bridges with comfort and playability with respect to hand position?
Also, the my intonation is off a bit and there is some buzzing. I am willing to mess around with the Kahler (floating) bridge, reading the technical info on the websites, to help me out.
Another question is this: I bring in my acoustic for a setup and it costs $35 CAN (plain old bridge). If I screw up my settings on my Stealth, do you think they will charge me extra (because it's more time consuming)? What happens with the stores that you guys go to for your setups? What if the guitar techs are not proficient, they wouldn't charge by the hour, would they?I can easily call up my stores but I would like to know how your stores operate with these situations.
PS: My stealth kicks ass.
kahlers are way nice., i wish i had one, but no :( .
a music store shouldnt charge much more for your stealth than it did for your acoustic. just call and ask for an estimant.
i think guitars with big trems are alot more comfortable to palm mute and tremelo on, it just gives me something big to rest my hand on.
I've got a ZR trem on my ibanez s and it fucking rocks, its in league with my original floyd on my v. Its has a real smooth feel and basicly kicks ass but the thing i like about it the most is when u snap a string the guitar stays in tune. :)
hmmmmm.. no one mentioned the classic ' vintage style' bridges... you can find them on strats and stat copies what are they? pure shit
Floyd has also released a new trem called the speed loader, only catch is its a toal bitch to get strings and change the settings of it, otherwise it is great, FULL string change in under a minute and the trings are all pre streatched so there is barely any of that involved, if you are worried about breaking a string at a show and you use only the one tuning, look into one, its worth the pain in the ass to order strings if you want to use a trem and not worry about breaking a string, or at least haveing to take 5 mintes to fix it
interesting, i totally wouldnt mind have a trem if it stayed in tune when i broke a string.....
yeah, but floyd rose is the only brand of strings you would be able to get because they have 2 bullets on either end, and that limits your desired tonal range greatly, because what if you dont like the tone of the floyd rose strings? i think the speedloader bridge is a stupid idea.. why sacrafice tone for ease?
Im sure other companies will start to sell the speedload strings once the bridge starts selling. Right now the only company thats endorsing it is B.C. Rich
The BC Rich licensed Floyds are the worst. Not the speedloader, but the regular one. Fucking digusting.
