Whisenhunt: Hope entire team took Seattle loss 'personally'
Even as the Cardinals look to snap their nine-game losing streak Sunday against the Detroit Lions, questions still remain over went wrong a week ago.
When asked Friday about the beat down his team took in Seattle, Ken Whisenhunt didn't shy away from the topic.
"I hope we all took what happened last week personally, the whole team," Whisenhunt said. "That's unacceptable. You can't turn the ball over eight times and give up over 300 yards rushing."
While the Cardinals coach said the team has tried to move beyond the loss this week, in some ways Whisenhunt seemed to insinuate it should be used as a point of motivation the rest of the season.
"We moved on from [the loss]," said Whisenhunt. "But it's still about being professionals and doing what you're supposed to do."
Although the Cardinals have little to play for standings-wise over the next three weeks, Whisenhunt said he was encouraged about his team's energy level in practice this week.
"I felt good about [this week]," said Whisenhunt. "Guys worked, there was energy and they paid attention. Hopefully it will translate to playing well Sunday."
The Lions come into University of Phoenix Stadium Sunday losers of five straight since November 4. Like the Cardinals, Jim Schwartz's squad sits in last place in their division with a 4-9 record. However, Detroit's offense leads the league in passing yards per game (307.8).

It happened in the parking lot of the PNC Bank on East Wilbeth Road.

I was in the mood for a relaxing "cozy." Based on the publishers comments this book sounded like a good bet. I listened to the entire book, but was never drawn in to the location, the story or the characters.
Candy Holliday is a first time amateur sleuth. When a family friend is accused of murder, Candy decides to find the "real killer". Amateur sleuths are fine with me, but not when they risk their own lives and the lives of friends. Candy believes she has to do this because law enforcement in her small town is totally inept - another thing that irritates me in mysteries.
None of the characters seemed very well defined or unique. The pace was a little slow for my taste; some scenes went on longer than they needed to without adding anything to the story.
Narrator Tavia Gilbert often has a breathy quality to her voice that sounded melodramatic in some scenes. I found the voice she used for Candy's best friend Maggie to be distinctive, but irritating.
I wish I had liked this book better.
"My Kind of Science Fiction"
In this book Arthur C. Clarke creates a fascinating world of the far future. As I listened I was seeing images of it in my mind. I felt I was exploring this world.
The story is captivating and entertaining. This is the type of book that I couldn't put down when I read it as a youngster in the 1950's. It was a delight to find it had the same effect on me now.
"Promising "Cozy" Series"
I often read for relaxation, so I'm always on the lookout for new "cozy" series. This is one of the best I've found recently.
One thing that appealed to me right away was that the story takes place in Minnesota, which is where I live. The fictional town of Mayville is situated on Lake Pepin. There are several real Minnesota towns in similar locations - it is a beautiful part of the state. I've visited the area often, so it was easy for me to visualize Mayville.
The pace is brisk, with a mysterious death occuring early in the story. Numerous clues are found, some are "red herrings." I wasn't able to guess the final solution until it was revealed near the end of the book.
Though I like cats, I would not describe myself as "cat person." Owen and Hercules, the main "cat characters", have some very unusual abilities that add an element of fantasy to the story.
I liked protagonist Kathleen Paulson. Many other characters are introduced throughout the story. I'm hoping that some of them will show up in future books of this series.
The 10 plus hours of this story went by quickly for me. I plan to listen to more books in this series.
"Skillful Blend of Past and Present"
So far I've loved everything about this series. Main characters Duncan Kincaid and Jemma James are interesting, complex characters who have changed and matured as the series progressed.
The story lines are intricate, but not confusing. The pace of the stories is steady, but not overwhelming. In this book Debra Crombie once again skillfully weaves elements from the past into the current mystery. There is tragedy, but there is also hope.
Narrator Michael Deehy is excellent. The tone of his voice is pleasing, his diction is excellent.
I look forward to listening to more books in this series.
"Good Light Reading"
I listened to this book while I was in rehab recovering from knee replacement surgery. It was a great choice for the occasion.
This is a typical entry in this series. If you've enjoyed other Hannah Swenson books, you'll probably enjoy this one.
I wanted a book tht would be entertaining and distracting and this book was a good choice.
This book includes recipes. I'm not a baker, so I wasn't interested in the receipes. The recipes are located at the end of chapters, so it's easy to skip them.
This series takes place in a small Minnesota town. There is no explicit violence or sex and no grahpic language.
"Just OK"
I didn't enjoy this series very much. The production is fine. However, main character Hilary Caine is just a little too giggly and silly for my taste. I believe this series is meant to be light and humerous. For me Hilary Caine was annoying.
The stories take place in England; the show is produced in the USA. To my ear, the English accents of some of the actors are not very convincing.
I love other Jim French radio shows. Harry Nile is a favorite of mine. Hilary Caine just doesn't measure up to the standard I expect from Jim French.
"An Excellent Series"
I read a number of these books when they were first published over 20 years ago. This is the first Audible edition I've listened to. For me the stories stand the test of time very well.
Carolyn G. Hart populates this series with a number of recurring characters who have very different personalities. For me, much of the enjoyment of these books is the way these characters interact with each other. Annie Laurance, proprietor of the bookstore Death on Demand, is a no nonsense young woman who has worked hard for everything she has. Her charming fiancee is Max Darling. Max comes from a wealthy family, He is very smart, easy going, and hard working when he needs to be. The two of them balance each other very well.
I classify this as a cozy series. It takes place on an island populated by a number of interesting characters. The mysteries are complex and well plotted. The pace is brisk. There are a few mild expletives that might be offensive to readers who have low or no tolerance for these words. Some sexual sitations are part of this mystery, but they are not discussed in an explicit manner.
For me this is an entertaining story. Kate Reading is an excellent narrator. I plan to revisit many of these books on Audible.
"Promising Start to A Series"
I'm always on the look out for a good cozy series. This is a promising start.
The things I didn't like are due to my personal taste and may not present a problem for other readers.
One thing that I don't like, even in a cozy, is inept police. That is an issue for me in this book. I'm reluctant to go into detail in order to avoid "spoilers".
The story is set in a small town, and the protagonist is a bookseller. The author has made a good start on establishing what I suspect will be recurring characters that I find appealing. The emphasis is not on graphic violence or sex.
This was book 1 of the series. I intend to read at least one more book in the series, probably skipping to book 3 or 4.
I am partial to narrators who have good diction, pleasing voices and don't "overact" charaters. Cassandra Campbell is good in all these areas.
"Funny, but . . ."
I'm not a zombie fan. I knew that when I bought the book, but it was a daily special and I chose to take a chance. I live in Minnesota, and I'm a fan of Garrison Keillor.
I did laugh out loud a number of times during the first dozen chapters. However, the longer I listened, the less I laughed. The body count got higher, and the humor got darker. Eventually it wasn't funny to me any more. I wasn't entertained and I wasn't interested any more. I didn't care how it ended and I stopped listening.
The author does a good job of mimicking Keillor's style. And the narrator does a good job of mimicking Keillor's delivery. But be warned - there is plenty of gore, a high body count, and very, very dark humor. If that isn't your taste, you may want to skip this book.
"Didn't Work For Me"
This book has an unlikely premise - an inept Scotland Yard inspector receives assistance in solving crimes from his housekeeper. He's so inept he doesn't even realize she is helping him.
I don't want "realism" from cozy mysteries. What I look for are interesting characters (quirkiness helps), at least moderately complex plots and a good narrator. A little humor adds to my enjoyment.
The narrator of this book is fine. However, the characters seemed bland to me. The inspector was so clueless he annoyed me. There wasn't enough humor to overcome these problems.
I listened to about 70% of the book and gave up. I just didn't care how it ended.
"Slow Dollar - Great Read"
I discovered this series on Audible less than a year ago and am already a devoted fan. When I want to listen to a book with a great plot, a good mystery and characters I like, the Debra Knott series is the first place I look.
One of the things I enjoy about this series is that Margaret Maron has constructed it in a way that allows Debra Knott to be involved in a number of different "environments." This adds alot of variety and interest to the stories.
The pace of the story is brisk, there are plenty of new characters along with the continuing characters. There is a great sense of "place".
It might be best to read these books in order. However I started with one of the more recent books, and have read earlier books after that. It hasn't spoiled my enjoyment of the series.
C.J. Critt is an excellent narrator.

Here's a bright idea for a cute and inventive Halloween costume. It looks like a stick-figure running around but that's actually a little girl with a very creative dad.
Zoey Hutain's dad Royce made her costume out of LED lights and Velcro. He then posted a video of her running around in it on YouTube and of course, it went viral. Now, hundreds of people are asking him to sell them.
"I don't have the time to make money off these things but it'd be great to just show other people how to make them," said Hutain. "I'd love to see other videos of other people doing it."
Hutain first started making the stick-figure costumes for his snowboarder buddies.

Current polling shows CCC political impact in the Tri-Valley
Original post made by Allied News Service on Nov 20, 2011
Polling and focus interviews are demonstating the issues of CCC machine politics south of Diablo Road and throughout the Tri-Valley. Popular candidates such as Mark DeSaulnier and Joan Buchanan face significant questions for their involvement in CCC district 2 and 3 races. Questions about candidate support, with focus on Mary Piepho, often an antagonist in the Vasco Road/580 corridor, brings community and neighborhood group objections to Mark's and Joan campaigns. That concern in neighborhoods forums is spreading north into all of districts 2 and 3 serving opponents interest in stopping Mary and bringing new candidates in both districts.
This is a big story partly displayed on this forum with more to come as news services feature the issues and the detailed backgound. It brings the question of "why is Delta region politics such a major interest in the 24/680 south corridor?"
Your coverage would be welcome.
on Nov 20, 2011 at 7:32 pm
That has to be the funniest post I have read all weekend! Not a single word or relevance or reality contained in the entire rant. Perhaps there are other topics you are better at?
Thanks for the laugh.
on Nov 20, 2011 at 8:47 pm
Ah, Dolores,
What did I tell you? As the Washington Post defined, it does take little to get an ignoranus back in the bozone.
Quite fun, now don't you think? The subject might as well have been water buffalo.
Enjoying a mutual laugh,
Ralph, quite inviting
on Nov 21, 2011 at 6:26 pm
To Hal/Ralph/CSI/Removed etc.: Your multiple posts and replies under various aliases is destroying the validity of this forum for true neighborhood feedback and discussion. I (and I believe many other readers) would appreciate if you were to stick to one name for all your posts. I would put this request out to any other forum users who feel compelled to create multiple identities for whatever purposes. Thank you.

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
The Logitech Z523's computer speakers deliver impressive sound for their price class. Clarity falls short of some speakers, but so does its price tag -- usually by a lot. On the plus side, bass performance is outstanding, and connectivity is ample. Value attracts praise from experts and owners.
Strong overall. The Logitech Z523's well-rounded sound performs admirably for a range of uses, and reviewers tout its hefty bass response as a big plus. "On music, the Z523 delivers ample low-end, and explosions in games and movies certainly pack some punch," notes CNET's David Carnoy. He grants that these Logitech computer speakers lack some of the sound clarity of pricier high-end speaker systems, but he adds that in its price class, you'd be hard pressed to find a better choice than the Logitech Z523.
Most others who weigh in are equally impressed, though some find some things to grouse about. As an example, PCMag.com's Tim Gideon lauds the subwoofer's response and the adjustable bass level, but he says the Logitech Z523's tweeters are a bit too bright and tinny at times.
Lots of ways to connect to this budget beast. Whether you have a computer, gaming console, iPod, HDTV or audio from another device you're looking to connect to, the Logitech Z523 gives you plenty of options. These include a standard RCA audio input as well as two 3.5 mm mini jacks. There's also a 3.5 mm headphone jack for those times when others might appreciate a little peace and quiet.
With lots of computer speakers, getting good sound quality from anywhere except directly in front of the speakers is challenging, especially for more than one listener. The Logitech Z523 uses forward- and rear-firing drivers to broaden the sweet spot so things sound good in more spots around the room. Otherwise, extras are slim, and we did see some user complaints about the lack of a remote control.
Solid performance on the cheap. When you're looking for good sound on a limited budget, the Logitech Z523 will get the job done and then some. Granted, it doesn't deliver all of the sonic excellence of some pricier computer speakers, such as Harman Kardon's SoundSticks III (Est. $150) , let alone audiophile-grade computer speakers such as the Bowers & Wilkins MM-1 (Est. $500) , but these all around performers really deliver in the under $100 range.

The Logitech Z523 may not win any awards for its looks, but affordability and strong performance earn it high marks. CNET editor David Carnoy notes the Z523's sound quality "doesn't eclipse more expensive PC speakers," though it delivers strong bass and lots of connection options at a more affordable price.

Distortion-free bass (at all but the very loudest volume) is one of the Logitech Z523's biggest strengths, says PCMag.com's Tim Gideon. The satellite speakers can sound too bright or even tinny at times, he says. Despite that, Gideon notes the Z523 is still a good choice for the price.

With very good sound quality across all ranges on both games and music, the Logitech Z523 wins an Editors' Choice award here. Tester Michael Brown says these are the best speakers he's heard in this price range. He adds, however, that they don't hold up as well under the scrutiny of those who want the highest audio quality.

The Logitech Z523 achieves an overall 4-star rating (out of 5) with more than 330 user reviews posted here. The vast majority agree with experts that these are excellent budget speakers, but several unhappy reviewers say that their speakers were defective.

Feast Day:
Patron Saint Of:
Famous Miracles:
Sailors who were crossing a sea while on business for Gertrude's monastery were caught in a ferocious storm and threatened by a large sea animal who they feared would capsize their boat. After one of the sailors prayed to God for mercy because they were doing business for Gertrude's ministry work, they said that the storm miraculously stopped right away and the sea creature swam away from them.
Gertrude was born into a noble family who lived at King Dagobert's court in Belgium. Her father served as mayor of Dagobert's palace. When Gertrude was 10 years old, King Dagobert tried to arrange a marriage between her and the son of an Austrasion duke in order to form a political alliance, but Gertrude refused to marry him because she wanted to become a nun in the church instead, saying that she would only be married to Jesus Christ.
Gertrude did become a nun, and she worked with her mother to start a monastery at Nivelles, Belgium. Gertrude and her mother both served as co-leaders there. Gertrude helped build new churches and hospitals, and she took care of travelers and local people in need (such as widows and orphans). She also spent lots of time in prayer vigils.
Since Gertrude was known for offering hospitality (to people as well as animals), she was kind to the cats that hung around her monastery, offering them food and affection. Gertrude is also associated with cats because she often prayed for the souls of people in purgatory, and artists of the time symbolized those souls as mice, which cats like to chase. So Gertrude came to be linked with both cats and mice, and now serves as the patron saint of cats.

Official state sport(s): none
Our choice: pro ice hockey
Also considered: deer hunting
According to HuntStats.com, Michigan leads the nation with an average season harvest of 495,303 whitetail deer. Ted Nugent also has a farm here, which would be worth a billion bonus points if we were playing Big Buck Hunter right now. But, alas, this complex puzzle demands that the deer must be shot elsewhere. Thankfully, we've got a backup plan. Detroit, like lots of other cities, calls itself Hockeytown. In this case, the name fits. The Detroit Red Wings are one of the NHL's Original Six teams and are always near the top of the league's attendance ledger. Michigan might not be America's hockey mecca, but when it comes to the pro game, it is our octopus-flinging king.
Official state sport(s): ice hockey
Our choice: high school ice hockey
Also considered: none
Now this is America's ice hockey mecca. It would be reasonable to bestow the entire sport upon Minnesota, but splitting the puck is essential if we want to complete this vexing project. The Land of 10,000 Lakes gets the high school game, which transfixes the state each March with a tournament that draws more than 100,000 fans.
Official state sport(s): none
Our choice: deer hunting
Also considered: none
Ted Nugent lives in Michigan, not Mississippi. But the latter state's Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks is proud to report that Outdoor Life magazine recently rated the Magnolia State seventh in the nation on its "whitetail scale," which factors in the size of the local bucks, hunter density, cost of outfitted hunts, and "hunter friendliness." As an expert in sadeermetrics, I'd argue that Mississippi should be even higher. The HuntStats.com top 10 rankings for whitetail kills place Mississippi at No. 7, but based on my calculations the state is No. 1 in whitetails bagged per capita. Come on down here, Motor City Madman_the deer are just waiting to be shot!

- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/31/2014Nothing better than Cindy's Cooking. Pablo's oysters and Isaura's dessert! I am now adding Seans wit and personality leaving us laughing and having fun throughout our experienceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/31/2014We had the three cheese arepa, the grilled Spanish octopus and lamb meatballs for appetizers. All were delicious! However, the duck breast entree was a disappointment.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious mealOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/30/2014We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Cindy's last weekend. The food was well thought out, perfectly executed, portions were ample. We shared a classic Caesar salad laden with anchovies. My husband loved the pulled pork. I had a small plate of Spanish octopus over Rancho Gordo beans with marinated lemon and radish slices. It was perfectly prepared and seasoned. For dessert we had a flourless chocolate cake, really a Reine de Saba served with berries. This is a great place for a quiet meal and perfectly prepared food in a choice of the patio or restaurant proper. Imaginative culinary whimsy in fine form. I mean octopus with beans? Who would have thought of this combination? Yet it works superbly for a warm summer night's dinner.Special Features:
- Local GemSpunkersDined on 8/26/2014Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen is a local gem, serving excellent and varied foos with daily specials. The food offers many dishes that are comfort foods,but others that are creative and imaginative. The service is attentive but not overbearing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great eclectic selectionmechiltonDined on 8/24/2014Great place. Small but with a great menu with unusual but not crazy dishes. Ok maybe a few crazy dishes. Highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/22/2014We come to the Napa area once a year and Cindy's is always a dining must. Always a dining delight. Love the roasted peppers. Great wine list also.Special Features:
- Great for party of four!LisaDined on 8/20/2014This was our second visit. I much prefer the private outdoor dining to the busier inside close to the bar. As the name suggests, the entrance is in back. You enter off the street and travel a narrow floral, tree lined pathway, through a small area of outdoor seating with an outdoor pizza oven/fireplace in the corner. A large fig tree creates a canopy for lighting, shade, and privacy. Half chicken...mmm.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- EclecticpalmdesertdogDined on 8/19/2014Sat outside on a cool evening. Only one other table was occupied, so it was fairly quiet. Service was ok, perhaps a little too presumptuous. Food was very good. My wife and I both had Mexican style meals. She had the pollo loco (excellent) and I had the enchiladas stuffed with mushrooms and spinach. Both were served hot, a trait in restaurants that I like (not all do that!) hazard a half bottle of Conumdrum wine that might have been past it's prime (2007.) All in all, an enjoyable evening.Special Features:
- DisappointedFabesVIPDined on 8/19/2014The poor service really put a damper on the meal. It was extremely slow and inattentive. Food was not described to us in any detail. We would have ordered differently had we been more informed. The busboy brought out our drinks and our food. The waitress did not come back to check until we were nearly done and then realized we did not have a sharp knife that was needed for the entree but said we did fine without it! Huh? We were really looking forward to this restaurant but it was a disappointment. Duck was ok, but limp-no crispiness on the crust.
- awesome from start to finish!mandysdDined on 8/17/2014The food was amazing and wasn't too pricey for the quality. I loved the decor and seating was very comfortable. Our server was so fun and did a great job explaining the menu and helping us choose wine. What a great experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Step out of the usualArtistlinDined on 8/15/2014Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen has a remarkable menu of things you didn't know people ate (Chinese duck burger with mushroom ketchup, for instance). Couple that with the warm, happy atmosphere, the attentive service and huge wine list, you have the recipe for a wonderful evening with friends (or as a couple). Make sure you leave space for a sinfully wonderful finish; try one of their desserts...our favorite was the Campfire Pie.Special Features:
- Terrific food; reasonable priceCondorDined on 8/11/2014I've now been here twice. Referred by a local the first time. Each time the dinners have been excellent. The heirloom tomato salad was fabulous. Oysters great. The one thing that shocked both of us was the size of the entree. Very large and we both couldn't finish. We could have had half the amount and would have been more than satisfied. Nice atmosphere and they don't squeeze you in like other places. They have a nice bar. Hard to find because it is behind the main road and parking can be a challenge but you can park and walk a short block. Worth the effort.Special Features:
- St. Helena foodieMickeyVIPDined on 8/11/2014My guess is that the food here is generally very good. Two of us had a delicious meal and two of us felt the meal was mediocre. It may be that the specials are more predictable, just don't know. Worth giving a try.
- Great food and service!!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/5/2014Great food and spectacular service!! Mary was our server and she was great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely Little GemCB2013Dined on 8/1/2014Cindy's was just the thing me and my family needed after a long relaxing day at the spa. The menu selection was great and the staff was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the meatloaf and mashed potatoes and it was delicious. Great vibe and really nice décor. This is one of my new favorite places.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- one of our favorites in Napa ValleylocaldinerDined on 8/1/2014The food is always superb. We had a vegetarian dish, spinach and cheese enchilada that surprised us that it could be so good.Special Features:
- Great meal in NapaDevldaveDined on 7/30/2014If you're a foodie enjoying Napa, don't miss Cindy's Backstreet. Great food in a non-snobby atmosphere. Creative and wonderful taste combos. Don't miss the rabbit tostadas!Special Features:
- WonderfulOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/30/2014Great lunch in between winery's - definitely a great find . A must!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fine dining with a Mexican accentJAMsGemsDined on 7/29/2014E thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Larger than expected portions, delicious sauces and a divine strawberry rhubarb shortcakeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First time visitor from afar.GskyDined on 7/29/2014This was a wonderful place. I'm a foodie. I had heard about it and it met my expectations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/26/2014Disappointed. They were out of an appetizer before 6:30 on a Saturday night and forgot to bring a vegetable side dish. They did n9t charge for either!
- Cindy come backSammyVIPDined on 7/26/2014Cindy's has been my favorite but this visit was not to par. The duck burger was charred, burned and dry. The enchilada was bland. The appetizers (paquito peppers and octopus salad) were still great. The service was wonderful offering to replace my entree without charge.
- Always Cindys!franclyDined on 7/24/2014Strength to strength... wonderful family lunch... lovely ambiance and great serviceSpecial Features:
- foodfanDined on 7/23/2014The best pasta dish (linguine with chanterelles) and blistered pepper appetizer we've ever tasted. The service was absolutely flawless and we enjoyed the passion and energy level of the manager who visited our table and helped describe the specials. This restaurant was recommended by several of the tasting room personnel we talked to and will now be one of our favorites when visiting northern California.Special Features:
- Good Not Greatpleroma18Dined on 7/19/2014We happened to be visiting on a rather warm day which is common in St.Helena in July. The restaurant was very warm inside, and we were uncomfortable throughout the meal. Seating is cramped and parking is meager. My burger was very good, but I ordered it because the prices are high for regular entrées. Prices on wine are also very high, so we stuck with cocktails for lunch. Don't think I will go back.Special Features:
- Wonderful dinner and dessertSJSLDined on 7/18/2014We stumbled upon Cindy's when we were looking for dessert one night during a recent mid-week getaway. The s'mores-inspired Campfire Pie was so good that we came back the next night for dinner. Cindy's does not disappoint. Everything we had was delicious. And the very attentive staff went out of their way to make us happy. The lamb meatballs were amazing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice lunch spotGregSDined on 7/18/2014Went for lunch. Service from start to finish was superb. Food was also outstanding. Great choice!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 7/18/2014We had a great lunch on the patio and terrific service by Michael our waiter. He has a great sense of humor and was very entertaining.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Poor overall experience at Cindy'sSFfoodluverVIPDined on 7/17/2014This review is for dinner on Friday night on the patio during Festival del Sole. We arrived 45 minutes eArly and they sat us promptly on the patio, which is nice but missing touches like candles, torches or heaters. Our (worse waiter ever) server forgot to put our order in until we asked about it (having noticed others around us receiving entres) then he flat out refused to bring us "something" to snack on during the extended wait when he told us they were out of bread. We had to wait so so long for our meals (mushroom enchilada and brisket were both solid) that we finished entire bottle of wine, on empty stomachs, bad on many levels, he apologized but no offer of price reduction and then he topped it with complaints about festival crowds
- JeffPhoteljeffDined on 7/17/2014Just an all around go to favorite!! Great drinks, great food, great service!!! Thank you also for being so wonderful with the set of 90+ year olds that tagged along!!Special Features:
- IrenVIPDined on 7/14/2014We love Cindy's food, live in Yountville and go to her restaurants often. This time it was a disconnect. It was early around 5 pm, server was at the front desk. Told us she would take us to her favorite table and proceeded to take us to a corner table way in the backroom. Why? I have no clue? For 20 minutes people kept passing by us, but no one approached our table. Finally manager came. I asked for an Americano, campari, sweet vermouth and soda. When the bill came, there was a 2.00 add on for the sweet vermouth. If I had ordered a martini, would I have been charged extra for olives? Then there was another 2.00 charge for an extra spear of pickles. Serous upselling and not fun. We won't go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great LunchJudyGFVIPDined on 7/14/2014The duck burger is fabulously delicious! My friends also enjoyed their lunch choices and recommend Cindy's curried chicken salad, the Avocado and Papya salad and the stuffed peppers! Nice food presentation as well. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive.Special Features:
- One of the best everlaylaVIPDined on 7/10/2014This restaurant does everything well. We saw the chocolate pie featured in Food & Wine magazine and that is what got us here. We had one of the best dining experiences ever -from the non-stuffy service to the incredible food & innovative menu. Fantastic!
- No betterMontyVIPDined on 7/8/2014There is no better place to stop. Creative and prefectly prepared dishes. Great wine-country ambiance, energy, and interactions. And a fair bill will come at the end. What more could you want?Special Features:
- eagleusafDined on 7/7/2014Poor upfront service. I am disabled on O2 and we were seated at the furthest table from the entrance. The waiter was efficient but not friendly.Special Features:
- Go NOWNinerGirlVIPDined on 6/30/2014This restaurant exceeded my expectations. Food and service top notch. Your wait persons seem to enjoy their jobs what a nice feeling that must be. Thanks for such an enjoyable experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious!RJJNDined on 6/29/2014The food was outstanding - fresh and a great atmosphere!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food!SoniDDined on 6/28/2014We loved our meal at Cindy's. The food was excellent! My husband had the meatloaf, something he doesn't normally select, but it s was delicious. I ordered the rib eye steak. It was a bit overcooked, from the medium I ordered, but tasty just the same. We also tried the s'more pie, divine! The service was attentive but not too much. The ambiance was relaxed and welcoming, but reservations are highly recommended!Special Features:
- Good food, but poor environmentOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/28/2014The food was very good, but we were placed in the room upstairs. It was quite warm and when we let the server know, she made no offer to adjust to another room. She even acknowledged that they had cooling problems upstairs. The hostess should have warned us before she sat us. This made for an uncomfortable dining experience.
- Great find!Room237Dined on 6/27/2014We found Cindy's on Open Table after reading reviews and trying to find something within a short driving distance from our hotel. We were so happy with our choice! We had the meatloaf, spinach and mushroom enchiladas, and the Campfire pie! Everything was delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Oslo, Norway (CNN) -- Anders Behring Breivik, who admits killing 77 people in Norway last summer, said his primary objective in bombing a government building in Oslo was to slay the Norwegian government and its prime minister.
Breivik is on trial on charges of voluntary homicide and committing acts of terror in the July 22 attacks. Eight people died in a bombing in central Oslo and 69 people on nearby Utoya Island.
He used a video game as training for his shooting spree, he testified Thursday at his trial. He played the game "Modern Warfare 2" for practice, he said.
Breivik, who boasts of being an ultranationalist who killed his victims to fight multiculturalism in Norway, also went through a period of playing the game "World of Warcraft" up to 16 hours a day, he testified.
He initially planned to carry out three bomb attacks followed by a "gun-based action," he told the court, but eventually was only able to make enough explosives for one car bomb, which killed eight in central Oslo.
Asked about his intended bombing targets, Breivik said: "The first two were clear: the government quarter and the Labour Party headquarters. The third, I was not sure." click here to read more

Chavez replaces Floyd for Game 2
Order tweaked, but faces largely the same against Cards
NEW YORK -- The Mets' starting lineup for Friday night's Game 2 of the National League Championship Series had one predictable change when it was posted hours before first pitch against the St. Louis Cardinals: Endy Chavez was playing left field.
Chavez entered Thursday's Game 1 in the top of the third inning after starter Cliff Floyd had to leave the game with an aggravated left Achilles tendon injury. While Chavez went 0-for-3 at the plate, he did contribute a diving catch in left field that kept the Cardinals from a potential big inning in the fifth.
Manager Willie Randolph inserted Chavez in the No. 8 spot in the lineup, similar to what he did when Chavez replaced Floyd in the lineup late in the season when Floyd's injury persisted.
In this scenario, right fielder Shawn Green moves up from No. 7 to 6 and second baseman Jose Valentin moves up from No. 8 to 7. The top of the lineup remains the same with shortstop Jose Reyes leading off, followed by catcher Paul Lo Duca, center fielder Carlos Beltran, first baseman Carlos Delgado and third baseman David Wright before picking up with Green, Valentin, Chavez and starting pitcher John Maine.

Git & Deployment - I am stumped. Perhaps misunderstanding
I've been kicking this ball around for months and have been unsuccessful. Any help would be much appreciated.
I have 3 servers ready to go. Development, Staging and Production. Ideally, I'd like to develop locally, push to staging, test on staging and then push to production. Ambitious at this point as I can't seem to get a simple local > remote server push to happen.
I can successfully:
*create a local repository
create a remote repository
create a git remote connection between local and remote
push a commit to a remote - however, this only creates a large .pack file in .git/objects
*figure out how to make my remote public_html folder look like my local public_html folder - a Git push does not populate that folder with files?
What am I doing wrong here? Maybe I'm thinking about the whole thing wrong?
My question: Let's say I have a site 100% complete on my local MAMP stack. I have a totally bare remote server ready for the whole site. Historically, I'd just FTP the whole thing up. That model doesn't seem to work with Git. What am I doing wrong? Am I thinking of this wrong? Do I still FTP the files upstream and then use Git to version control once it's all established?

You are missing the continuious integration server -- that is the device responsible for taking the freshly pushed git repo, pulling it, running your deployment and test scripts and and letting you know if it succeeded or failed.

CCU celebrates Rising for Justice today
Coastal Carolina University students will join with activists around the world for One Billion Rising for Justice Day today from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Prince Lawn as part of a worldwide campaign to bring attention to violence against women and girls.
At noon, students will perform a flash mob dance to the song Break the Chain, the anthem of the movement.
Information on supportive organizations and programs will also be available to students.
This year we will renew our commitment to prevent gender violence and seek justice for all survivors, said Angie Fitzpatrick, lecturer and assistant director of CCUs Womens and Gender Studies program that hosts the event.
One Billion Rising for Justice is a call to women, men and youth around the world to gather safely on this designated day in support of the campaign.

The Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System, commonly referred to as CTCSS, has been in used in the land mobile radio arena from the late 1960's. It is known by a number of different trade names such as Private Line® (PL) by Motorola, Channel Guard® (CG) by General Electric and generically as tone squelch.
It is a use of sub-audible tones that are transmitted along with the speech portion of the transmission which allows more than one agency (or fleet) to use the same radio frequency without causing undue interference to another agency on the that frequency. Receivers for agency XYZ are set to only open their audio squelch when the proper sub-audible frequency tone is part of the transmission.
The land mobile industry started with some 38 sub-audible frequencies this has increased over the years to the more generally accepted 50. There is no generic standard tone number assignment or code letter to go with a particular tone; however, below is a chart of the commonly accepted 50 tones used at this time.
In addition to the standard tones, some manufacturers have made available additional tone frequencies specific to their own products, but not available to products from other manufacturers.
Note: 150.0 is the standard tone used by military radios in the 30-88 MHz band.
These programs will display the a detected CTCSS tone when connected to the audio output of a radio receiver.

Zionsville — Zionsville's offense started out a bit shaky, but finished strong Friday at home against Westfield. The Eagles defeated the Shamrocks 35-18.
Zionsville went up on a 56yard bomb from Parker Dunshee to Chris Mason to put the Eagles up 7-0 with 6:25 remaining in the first quarter.
But, the Shamrocks came right back on an 11-play drive to convert a field goal to make the score 7-3.
After the Eagles second turnover of the quarter, the Shamrocks quickly converted the Eagles' mistake into seven points on a 35-yard touchdown pass from Nick Ferrer to Devin Reece to make the score 10-7 with 33.9 seconds remaining in the first quarter.
Zionsville coach Larry McWhorter said they were surprised in the first half by what they saw.
"They brought a lot of pressure that we did not expect," McWhorter said. "We did not anticipate that. I just did not think we were ready for them offensively. Defensively, we were a step behind. We were executing the game plan, but not at the speed we were hoping we would be at. But, it got a lot better in the second half."
The Eagles would come out of the gates finally offensively in the third quarter when Coleton Smith ran through the line and through the Shamrocks' secondary on his way to a 45-yard touchdown scamper to make the score 14-10 with 5:17 remaining in third quarter.
The Eagles defense would do the rest as they sufficiently shut down the Rocks offense in the third quarter.
Scotty Penola said the defense really stepped up in the second half and put it all together.

The body of a missing central Iowa teen may have been found Friday night.
The remains of what is likely to be 15-year-old Kathlynn Shepard was discovered Friday night, according to authorities who spoke at a press conference early Saturday morning.
Shepard disappeared May 20th after getting off of a school bus. Search efforts along the Des Moines river were anticipated to continue this weekend after being suspended due to weather conditions.
Officials say the body found Friday night is likely to be Shepard's because the zipties found with the body were consistent with those also used on the 12-year-old girl.
Shepard and a 12-year-old girl were abducted last month after getting off their school bus in Dayton. The 12-year-old got away from her abductor and ran to safety.
Michael Klunder was later found dead of an apparent suicide, and is alleged to have kidnapped both girls.
Police say Klunder lured the girls with promises of lawn work, then took them to a hog confinement where he used to work.

text: A little smokiness in a nice old vine Garnacha is one thing. Wine that actually smells like smoke is an entirely different matter. With climate change sparking concern about an increased risk of wildfires, scientists are reporting development of a way to detect grapes exposed to smoke from those fires, which otherwise could be vented into bad-tasting wine. Their report on the method for detecting smoke taint in both grapes and wine appears in American Chemical Society's journal of agricultural and food chemistry. Yoji Hayasaka and colleagues point out that Australia and other areas of the world are experiencing an increase in bush and wildfires. Grapes exposed to smoke yield wines with unpalatable aromas and tastes, sometimes described as resembling "smoked meat", "disinfectant" or a "dirty ashtray". In an effort to manage or avoid production of smoke-tainted wines, scientists developed a test for the substances formed in grapes after exposure. They describe its development and laboratory tests demonstrating that the method can determine whether grapes have been tainted before they were crushed and pressed into wine.

is there a secret to getting that vein along your bicep to pop out?
i'm 90 kilos and can do 22.5kg dumb bell bicep curls or 55kg for bar bell curls but yet still don't have that bicep vein
i think my biceps are fairly strong for my size (please correct me if i'm delusional) and i have loads of veins from the elbow down but no bicep vein.
what gives?
H - 185cm (6'1") W - 85 kg (188 lbs) Age - 38
Showing veins is mainly down to body fat %.
I wouldn't worry about it, work on the compound movements like deadlifts, they will grow your arms more then curls.
Eat big. Sleep big. Lift big. Get big.
its about diet and low bf%, then genes and where your upper arm veins happens to sit.
it be very rare if you got your bf% down low and you still didn't see any veins on the bicep.
But that one thick vein that snakes over the bicep that some guys get, diet won't really give you that. its like dimples or cleft chin , some guys got it and some don't.
Body fat
Muscle mass.

Always wondered this myself. I never had it show (and it still doesn't unless I'm pumped) however it seems to have developed recently with a little reduction in body fat (2-4%) and more focus on bicep training. Tis weird considering it showed after 1-2 months of eating less, with not that much noticeable definition increases elsewhere.
There are much more important things to worry about...unless you WANT to look like that guy in the video (scary). But hey, at least he's "ripped" - lol

It's actually called the cephalic vein man. Low bodyfat does usually make it more prominent, as does profuse sweating. Training the biceps with slightly higher reps may be beneficial as well, due to a better pump. An often overlooked factor is blood pressure. Just as some folks have a BP in the higher portion of the normal range, others may tend to be in the lower end. If you restrict your sodium TOO much (not easy to do), to the point where you can't get a really good pump, this can sometimes be detrimental as well. Lastly, vascularity (all over) is always more prominent in a well hydrated body. Make sure you're drinkin' lots of H2O - remember, once you feel really thirsty, you're already beginning to dehydrate. If this occurs during your workout, it can be difficult to catch up. Keep pumpin' and good luck.

MIDDLETOWN, Conn.—A devastating explosion that was heard and felt for miles destroyed a power plant Sunday morning as workers purged a natural gas piping system, killing at least five and injuring many more, emergency response officers said.
Homeowners miles away said the 11 a.m. explosion at the Kleen Energy Systems power plant on River Road created a shock wave so intense they mistakenly thought the central part of the state had experienced an earthquake.
One of the deceased was Raymond E. Dobratz, 58, a pipefitter from Old Saybrook.
"I lost my father today,'' said his son, David Dobratz, 32.
David Dobratz, also a pipefitter, had worked on the Kleen Energy project, but hadn't been there recently.
Raymond Dobratz had three children and five grandchildren, his son said. Dobratz had served on the Old Saybrook Police Commission. He belonged to the Westbrook Elks Lodge and was a member of the Connecticut Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 777.
Middletown Councilman Ronald P. Klattenberg had said late Sunday afternoon that five people were missing, but that the number of injured is not as large as initially feared.
"There are bodies everywhere," a witness said in the hours immediately after the explosion. Later in the afternoon rescue personnel said victims may still be buried in rubble.
Middletown Deputy Fire Marshal Al Santostefano said there were "confirmed fatalities" but that he did not know how many. He said there were probably no more than 50 construction workers on the site. Initial reports were that as many as 100 workers may have been at the site.
"It was a massive explosion" Santostefano said.
Eddie Reilly, president of building trades council in Hartford, confirmed that there were about 50 tradesmen on site Sunday morning.
The plant, which has been under construction for years, was nearing completion. It was designed to generate electricity by burning natural gas. Neighbors said they believed the explosion was the result of an operating test.
Santostefano said the explosion was related in some fashion to natural gas, but that the cause was still under investigation. He said the explosion appears to have occurred when operators attempted a "blow down" of natural gas pipelines, a procedure that involves the purging of gas from the pipelines.
The power plant site, carved into a rocky bluff over a bend in the lower Connecticut River, consisted of numerous structures. But Santostefano said he believes the explosion occurred in the largest, a massive, square steel structure known as the power block building.
Klattenber said the explosion blew out all sides of the power block buidling.
"Parts of the walls are just flapping in the wind," Klattenberg said.
Santostefano said "They are taking the building apart, piece by piece. If they do find anybody, they would be under the rubble." He said rescue workers were "search and rescue mode."
