The first two moves of the Red Sox' offseason hardly inspired immediate visions of a turnaround. Indeed, bafflement was the most common reaction when GM Ben Cherington opened the offseason (after re-signing David Ortiz) by signing first David Ross and then Jonny Gomes last November -- two role players -- at a time when starters remained undefined at first base, shortstop, right field, perhaps left field and one spot in the rotation.
At the time, both moves seemed like overpays for players who failed to address more significant needs. A two-year, $6.2 million deal for Ross -- a player who was expected to serve as a backup catcher, albeit one with slightly larger-than-traditional responsibilities -- and the two-year, $10 million contract for Gomes (characterized as a platoon player who would get starts in left field against lefties) both received criticism as aggressive overpays at a time when more significant vacancies existed.
It is Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Friday. The Red Sox trail, 2-0, and after Wil Myers' inexplicable misplay of David Ortiz's flyball into a double created a second-and-third situation with no outs, a Mike Napoli pop-up leaves the Sox in danger of wasting the opportunity.
Gomes does not let that happen. He leans all over a Moore fastball, slamming it off the Wall in left field for a two-run double. Then, still on second with two outs, in an echo of a similar play on Opening Day against the Yankees, Gomes races home from second on an infield single to first by Stephen Drew, giving the Sox a 3-2 lead in a bold fashion that prompts Fenway Park to erupt.
"Today was the reason why Jonny chose to come to Boston," gushed Sox manager John Farrell. "And he demonstrated why this is where he wants to play. And he fits what we do so well. And the way he goes about the game rubs off on other players in our clubhouse."
With the benefit of hindsight, the additions of Ross and Gomes at the start of the offseason look drastically different. Two moves that were characterized in many ways as wasteful redundancy at the time now look almost inspired, an early harbinger of two of the signature elements that have positioned the 2013 Red Sox as favorites to win the World Series.
"That's what I said when we clinched the division. It all started with the first free agent signing of the offseason," beamed Ross, before breaking into a cackle. "Just kidding around, obviously."
Last November, when the Sox remained in search of so many everyday players, nobody was discussing roster depth and clubhouse character as the attributes of a champion. But now, symbolically, the fact that Gomes and Ross were the first two additions offers a revisionist narrative of a team that emphasized building a championship-caliber club from the ground up.
"Everyone on the road right now has insurance. Everyone who owns a house has insurance. You can't buy your car, you can't drive your car and you can't live in your house without insurance. That's basically Ross and me," said Gomes. "What if one of your corner outfielders goes down? Do you want to call someone up from Triple-A or do you want someone who's an established big leaguer? What if your catcher goes down? Do you want to call someone up from Triple-A when you're in a race, or are you going to have an established big leaguer? There's something to be said for having some insurance.
"I got dropped by Tampa, so when the Reds got me, when Washington got me and when Oakland got me, I heard the same crap," Gomes recalled of the reaction to his signing. "This guy strikes out. This guy sucks at this. This guy sucks at this. Well, here's your pennant. Here's your pennant. There's something to be said about guys that play the game right, guys who have accountability for that and guys who expect the same out of everyone in the clubhouse."
And in that regard, it is fascinating to note that the first two direct calls Cherington made to players last offseason were to Ross and Gomes in an effort to gauge their willingness to come to Boston after the mess of 2012. Both players immediately expressed a receptivity to the idea, something that the Sox GM found heartening at a time when that was taken as anything but a given. Cherington was unquestionably looking to fix a number of on- and off-field elements that had gone off the rails with the Sox, and the two players fit what the club was looking for.
Ross represented a player with a formidable track record against left-handed pitching (thus making him a terrific complement to Jarrod Saltalamacchia) and a sterling reputation as one of the best defensive catchers in the game. For a team that had to fix its pitching -- how scouting reports were getting interpreted and then translated to pitchers during games -- he represented an important aspect of the foundation, someone who could give the Sox' younger catchers more time to develop while improving what the team viewed as a critical position.
The Sox were interested in re-signing Cody Ross, but in November, they weren uncertain that they'd be able to find common ground on terms for a new deal with the corner outfielder. The team felt it needed a power-hitting threat from the right side who could take advantage of Fenway Park, and beyond that, the Sox had heard from many corners of the industry: The influence of Gomes on a clubhouse was remarkable.
Moreover, Gomes' interest in coming to Boston was, if anything, amplified by the team's struggles of 2012. The outfielder suggests that Boston topped his wish list even before Cherington made his call.
"I think it's funny when in the offseason, free agency, guys say, 'I want to go to a contender.' Like, Toronto this year? Like the world champs, the Giants? It's not knocking any organization, but where baseball is right now, there are 30 teams and 30 can win," said Gomes. "To me, where I'm at, what I look for in the offseason, where my career has been, the only thing I've looked for is opportunity. I don't look for money, I don't look for location, I don't look for league. I look for opportunity. I thought Boston would be a good opportunity for me so I expressed interest in them. It was mutual.
"I think with all the teams we talked to, a lot of teams talked about me hitting lefties. A lot of teams thought my defense was better than [thought]," he continued. "How the World Series ended really helped me out. With the Tigers having days off, like five days off, and then [getting dominated by left-handers Madison Bumgarner and Barry Zito], that really hurt their lineup. Well, that's what I do all year -- five days down, come in and get the big lefty. And so everyone was like, 'Wow, I guess that little piece does matter.'
"The Sox really came after me. What they were talking about was that I won. We didn't talk numbers, we didn't talk about hitting left-handed pitching, we didn't talk about right-handed, we didn't talk about DH. They just talked about everywhere I've gone, I've won, and they want that."
Now, the narrative that can be crafted looking back at those two initial moves is compelling -- the Sox had depth and makeup at the top of their priority list after the mistakes of the previous offseasons. But it's not quite accurate.
The Sox understood that the best value is typically found in January. But at a time when the team had so many needs -- with Ross and Gomes representing the first two of seven free agents signed to big league deals, eight if one includes Ortiz -- it was important to start the signing process early and move aggressively. And the team viewed Ross and Gomes as players who would be inclined to sign early in the offseason -- with good reason.
"I think I expressed to the Red Sox more than other teams, I was giving all the other teams a shot, but I did want to come here. Without showing my cards. I just told them I want to get something done quick, because it's been three times I've signed in Feburary," Gomes recalled of his mindset last November. "That's what I told the other teams I was talking to. My negotiating takes half an hour. So let's get this half-hour right now."
Ross -- who is expected to start Game 2 of the ALDS behind the plate -- was similarly receptive to early overtures. He recalled that, early in the offseason, the Yankees and Rays were aggressive in trying to bring him into the fold early. He also received calls from the Rangers and Royals, with an understanding that after four years with the Braves, Ross would stay in touch regarding where things stood in the offseason.
"They called the first day they were able to touch base," he said. "My agent called me and said, 'Hey, the Red Sox are interested. They can make an offer.' I just said, 'Well, that's nice -- kind of takes a little bit of the worry away.'
"Other teams called. It got hairy fast. It went really fast early on. Ben called and just said, 'Is this some place you'd be interested in?' I said, 'Yeah, of course.' They put their best foot forward and moved fast," he continued. "The deciding factor was just how much they wanted me from day one. Being a backup catcher on the marketplace, to be the first one the Boston Red Sox go after, that was a good feeling for me. I think as a player, all you want is to be wanted and for someone to appreciate what you bring to a team. Obviously, they must have."
Indeed, Ross will be behind the plate on Saturday against the team that was the runner-up for his services.
"It went fairly fast," said Ross. "It came down to Tampa Bay and here, the two things for me were the pitching staffs -- both were really good. Tampa was a little closer to home. Boston was a little more money. It got to a point where I just decided on who was going to have the best chance to win a World Series.
"At this point in my career, the thing I want to be is happy. Winning does that. Knowing that the Red Sox are a team that, if you've got a chance to win at the deadline, they're going to go out and make the big move. When I was here in '08, for everybody, it was win, and win, and win. Winning is the No. 1 priority here. There's no other agenda around here."
That, certainly, has been the case in 2013. The Red Sox have once again been a team with singularity of purpose and an infectious focus on winning the game and playing the right way. Eleven months after the fact, the Sox' first two signings of the winter -- once lampooned -- now appear to have been important parts of that process of restoration.

The issue of men sending pics of their privates to women they don't know has been little studied, reports USA Today. What accounts for this exotic behavior? Power and an unlimited number of virtual sex partners is the reason, the sexperts tell the paper. More likely, the behavior is peculiar to socially awkward dullards who don't realize that normal women are repulsed by "crotch shots" and other such pictures. Anyway, we can thank Congressman Anthony Weiner for helping usher in a field of research that will break new research ground on this behavior.

The city of Plattsburgh says pro-life activists can rally outside Planned Parenthood on Good Friday, but even with this approval, most are calling it a compromise. The city's Common Council says it's always been a complicated issue.
"Make sure all residents of the North County feel they are able to exercise their rights and that they'll be protected by the city," said Joshua Kretser from the Plattsburgh Common Council.
The pro-life and pro-choice debate is an ongoing issue everywhere.
Last year in Burlington, the Planned Parenthood facility asked for a buffer zone around its property to keep activists at a distance.
Now it seems something similar is happening at the Planned Parenthood center across the lake in Plattsburgh.
The Plattsburgh Common Council has agreed to let the religious group gather on Good Friday. This is the first time the group will be gathering across the street from Planned Parenthood, rather than right in front of it.
"First time that they've denied us the permission to block off three parking spaces for Good Friday service," said Kathleen St. Denis from Plattsburgh.
A federal judge ruled the buffer zone at the Burlington clinic is constitutional after protesters said it violated their freedom of speech. Common Council members in Plattsburgh say one reason for their change in location for the pro-life group rally is a safety concern.
"The number of people that would be attending the vigil would have their backs to traffic on Brinkerhoff Street, and this would actually allow them to see the traffic going by so that they wouldn't be in harm's way at all," said Krester.
In a statement regarding the Good Friday rally in Plattsburgh, the head of public relations for Planned Parenthood in New York says that we all have a right to free speech and assembly, as long as we abide by the regulations of our localities.
Members of the Right to Life organization and others like it will still be outside the Plattsburgh Planned Parenthood building this Good Friday.
"Apostles for Life need to be able to exercise their freedom of speech and freedom to assemble. But also patrons of Northern Adirondack Planned Parenthood, we need to provide them with a comfortable atmosphere to be able to utilize legal services," said Kretser.
In Massachusetts the U.S. Supreme Court is deciding whether to keep buffer zones around abortion clinics there, similar to the one in Burlington.

Joe Mauer
Joe Mauer played football, basketball, and baseball for at Cretin-Derham Hall. In his senior year he became the only athlete ever to be selected as the USA Today High School Player of the Year in two sports (football in 2000 as a quarterback and baseball in 2001 as a catcher).
Mauer attended the same high school as Baseball Hall of Famer and former Milwaukee Brewer Paul Molitor. Molitor has said that Mauer "has the best swing he had ever seen". Jim O'Neill, Mauer's baseball coach at Cretin-Derham Hall, said his former student "has been groomed for this job since he was a little boy. Mauer's dad, Jake, created a contraption for Joe he later named the 'Quickswing'. The device dropped balls down a tube from eye level and released them at waist level." Mauer had been asked to leave his T-ball league at the age of four, because he was hitting the ball too hard for the other players.
A stand-out in baseball, Mauer struck out only once during his four-year high school career, and hit .605 during his senior season. Years later, Mauer laughingly told an interviewer: "I can remember the time I did strike out. It was junior year, and it was in the state tournament. I came back to the bench and everybody thought something was wrong with me." Mauer's high school batting average exceeded .500 every year. He also set a Minnesota high school record and tied the national preps mark by hitting a home run in seven consecutive games. Mauer caught for the Team USA Junior National team from 1998 to 2000 and hit .595 during his final year on the team. He was voted best hitter at the World Junior Baseball Championship in Canada in 2000. In 2001, Mauer was voted the United States District V Player of the Year.

You're free and completely entitled to hate that and view it with great disdain but my attitude and problem with the fandom is not because of people finding issue with that overused plot device to get two people to finally be comfortable enough to do it but because of people making claims that Jet Black is 14 years old (when she's not) and thus stating that despite her even saying she's beyond those years to dare accuse Remender writing a statutory rape scene and faulting Sam Wilson as a rapist. If you had any of these thoughts, this is for you. Before you continue your crusade, please at least let me provide you with some facts.
Let me first introduce you to Jet Black as she was first introduced in the series (Captain America v.7 #1):
That girl right there with that mischievous look is not a baby as many have claimed. She is clearly in her prepubescent years enjoying the treatment her father, Arnim (corrected the spelling because I didn't realize I put Armin) Zola, is providing the capitalist captain.
Below is her brother as he was first introduced in the same exact page (Captain America v.7 #1 p.14 — cw: syringe/drill and torture):
Clearly the two siblings are not the same age, right? So why are there false rumors being spread around that Jet is 14? I honestly don't know unless people believe Ian and Jet are the same person, which is silly, right? Apparently, not.
Putting the rest beneath a cut because it gets lengthy because of timeline explanation thus is image heavy.

The 2012 holiday shopping season was Amazon's most successful yet, the company announced today. As you might expect from the internet's leading retailer, Cyber Monday was the big standout; over 26.5 million items were purchased on that day alone, amounting to 306 items per second. That massive growth nearly doubles 2010's record, when 13.7 million items were ordered on November 29th.
Consumer demand for Kindle hardware appears to be holding strong, with the Kindle Fire HD, Kindle Fire, Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle dominating the company's best seller charts since their launch. Cyber Monday was the biggest day ever for worldwide Kindle sales, though — as always — Amazon refrains from providing specific figures that would lend much-needed context to that success. But even without hard numbers, it's clear that Amazon's digital ecosystem benefitted from the hardware sales boom: Christmas Day saw more digital downloads and purchases than any other in Amazon's history.
Amazon's ecosystem is growing in both popularity and content depth
The company is also touting its efforts in the ebook realm, claiming that over 175,000 "exclusive" books came to the Kindle store this year. Further, 23 authors offering their work through the Kindle Direct Publishing platform enjoyed sales of over 250,000. For the full details on Amazon's holiday season, and to see which products proved most popular in each category, head to the company's site below.

I make this comment with the view I will most likely be down voted.
Growing up in a deprived area of Scotland, I lived through the council tax evictions.
Seeing people that already struggling to pay their bills being asked to find more money, all at a time of recession and high unemployment.
I went to a school in the same area which again was full of those kids that were destined for lives of unemployment.
The school system cared very little for us.
There was after school clubs organised for the brightest of the underprivileged, but many didn't go as their patents thought they were being patronized.
If some of the kids did go, this resulted in name calling by the poorest of the students, and exclusion by the better off.
I remember a school friend telling me we couldn't play together because I was from "that area".
My mother changed my high school, for a school with a better reputation.
However here the social divide was more obvious.
The school had students from the wealthiest and protest parts of town.
Where you groups of friends were more or less decided by your social background.
While I was bright enough I spent most of my time trying not to look intelligent.
I didn't want to exclude myself from my circle of friends.
To the point it frustrated my teachers, "I was wasting my life"
I was not lucky enough to be part of the free further education system.
So I worked my through there years to gain my degree.
University was a good mix of social backgrounds all thrown in together which just seemed to work.
However at this point I lost a lot of old friends, just because I went to university.
I was somehow now "posh" and received comments like "you think you are better than ever one" and "you have forgotten where you come from"
I know work as an engineer, everyone I work with has a middle upper class background.
I am "valued" for my straight talking and honesty that "only my background could have afforded you".
My point is you can never escape your social background.
Before the government can do anything the public's attitude had to change.
The class system must be destroyed before we can get rid of social stigmas.
And then, maybe then we can make some real progress.

Pac Div - The Greatness
Artist: Pac Div
Producer: No I.D.
Album: The DiV EP
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 10 total votes )
Long and arduous as their road to success may have been (the group's been grinding ever since the members' high school years), Like, Mibbs and BeYoung of Pac Div were bound to get their shine eventually. They've simply got that je ne sais quoi—or, as the SoCal representatives refer to it on their latest effort, "The Greatness." The latest single off the crew's forthcoming digital EP, this upbeat banger finds No I.D. manning the boards, crafting an eminently head-noddable blend of uptempo breaks, choral synths and lightly jazzy piano chords to back the trio as they remind fans just how determined they are to write their name among the stars. In bars dripping with ambition, the spitters link their mission with those of several African-American icons: "If Stevie Wonder read Braille, Michael Jackson made Thrill and Malcolm X-celled / like getting Five Mics or a XXL… think greatness." No doubt about it, the Church League Champions have come a long way from their underdog beginnings. Fans who'd like to accompany Pac Div on the next leg of their journey will be able to do so Nov. 8, when The DiV arrives on iTunes.

Puppet perfection on Disney's The Lion King
Posted: January 24, 2014|
By Martin Freeman
Loyal subject Will Pearce helps make The Lion King.
There is plenty to keep the props boss busy on the spectacular Disney stage musical.
With 250 props and masks to fit, tweak and repair, idle moments are as common as vegan hyenas.
Banish any thought that after eight years on the show he is starting to get a bit stir crazy.
"There is always something new to do," says the head of masks and puppets.
And his crowning achievements include?
"Teaching a giraffe to walk on stilts."
The 50 or so performers regularly enjoy the standing ovations at the record-breaker.
Behind them is about double that number of people backstage who ensure that The Lion King continues to rule the world of musicals.
Maintaining the magic is a huge logistic enterprise that throws up even greater challenges as the biggest musical production ever to go on UK tour tries to fit into a variety of different venues.
The good news for Will is that the Theatre Royal Plymouth – home for seven weeks from next Thursday – is more accommodating than many ports of call.
"Edinburgh was a bit small," he says.
"But I'm told that Plymouth is bigger, which helps.
"Storage is an issue. The Cycle Of Life, the opening number, has a vast amount of performers on; stage, gazelles, rhino, elephant.
"Getting them on and off stage is one of the biggest challenges."
The masks and costumes must be as lightweight as possible to maintain the actors' freedom of movement. The materials include carbon fibre, known for its strength without weight. Balsa wood, hessian and animal feathers feature, too.
"We make and fit them to each performer so they have to be made again each time the cast changes. Many of them, like for [lions] Scar and Simba have to be very close fitting. They have head cranks at the back, like you see on a cycle helmet.
"But they are electronic too so they can move up and down. When they are down they [the performers] can look more animalistic. When they are up you can see the actor again and follow their emotions."
The designs get ever better but "something can go wrong at any time. We have learned to do quick fixes with paper ties or glue, and with the electronics".
Will, who grew up in North Dorset, is looking forward to being back in the Westcountry and will enjoy the opportunity to catch up with relatives in Cornwall. While he has toured the world with The Lion King, his usual base is in London.
He graduated from the special effects and theatre arts course at Wimbledon, part of the University of the Arts, London, in 2003.
Will worked first in film before joining The Lion King in 2006.
"I've seen the show countless times," he says. "My job can get a bit nine-to-five but I'm lucky because there is a broad range of puppets and you do something different every day."
He's been done CORRECT seen everything, including an elephant fly.
"She's called Bertha," he says. "She comes off into stage left and then is hoisted and flown above us for the rest of the performance."
The Lion King runs at the Theatre Royal Plymouth from January 30 to March 15.

Yesterday we had a tornado pass through about four miles north of here. The winds were strong enough here that shingles were ripped from my house. The yard is covered with limbs. Luckily, we were at a movie with a group of boys for my son's birthday.
My mature cascade lost the growth tips from every bine, and my two babies lost all but one. The good news is the cascade had already grown as big as it had in any other year, so hopefully the battered/missing leaves won't stop it, as the bines seem intact the rest of the way down. The mt. hood and centennial first year plants are a "hope and a prayer" at this point.
Maybe it's karma, as I've not brewed a batch since I put the cascade in the ground four years ago. I was finally going to put those bracts to use this year. I've visited the plants every day and was really stoked about the multiple side-arms starting to grow at every leaf on it. Guess they'll be the new climbers now.
Just needed to vent.
What a bummer. I think they will come back but it will take time. They are very hardy plants. So is anything else messed up for brewing?

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment
No, luckily all of my equipment is empty at the moment, except for the two batches I have bottled. We also have a tree down on a power line that feeds our house, but we still have power here!! The area just to the north is getting all of the attention from the power company at the moment, so the power line will probably snap eventually, or in a few hours when the next wave of storms hit.
And I'm not worried about the plants. I've seen growth at the side-arms today. I wasn't worried about losing them, just a hit in harvest in the near future. I'd also hoped to have a strong year out of my cascade since I plan to raise it up next spring and take some rhizomes for propogating and trading.
That suck.
We had 60-70mph winds just north of me.
We had windy weather over the last couple of days and I also had one of my first-year hops loose its tip. The rest of the bine looks good, what little there is, and it's starting to branch down by the base so I'll still get some more shoots to train. This is hardly the first windstorm hop plants have encountered in the history of plant growth so I'm not too worried. At least my trellis poles didn't tip over.
I heard it howling outside last night but haven't had a chance to look for more damage yet.
Natural 20 BreweryYes, that *is* beer. Water, malt, hops, and yeast mean it's beer. Go ahead and try a glass...
Just got hit with another big storm.
Sorry to read about your hops. I've had high winds in the past that have done damage. Mostly though its that damn HAIL!
I was at Tiger's game on Friday evening when the storm hit up north. I called my wife and she was on cell phone talking to her mom about the storm which had knocked out power and lots of trees. Supposedly had a tornado about 15 miles away. The neighbor lost 2 huge willow trees and another neighbor had a big limb land on their roof. Another had about 5 feet of shingles torn off.
We got nothing... I guess I was lucky. My hops were not high enough off the ground yet to get any wind.

PINEHURST, N.C. (AP) — A tough Pinehurst No. 2 tried to make a game out of this U.S. Open. Martin Kaymer always had an answer.
Already with one bogey on his card, Kaymer's tee shot on No. 4 was so deep into the trees that his golf ball settled in sandy patch that had been washed out by rain, stacked up against 6 inches of pine straw. With nowhere to go and no relief available, he turned to USGA President Tom O'Toole and said, "If you have a way to play it, I'll follow you."
Kaymer navigated his way out of trouble just fine.
He escaped with a bogey by getting up-and-down from 165 yards. He followed with an eagle with a 7-iron from 202 yards out of more sand and weeds. And a birdie on the final hole gave him a 2-over 72 and a five-shot lead in a U.S. Open that finally lived up to its reputation Saturday.
"I kept it very well together," said Kaymer, who was at 8-under 202.
Now he has to do it one more time, with a different cast of challengers behind him.
Rickie Fowler, with teen idol status in American golf, birdied the par-3 17th hole and shot 67 to get into the final group of a major for the first time.
Even more unlikely was the other player at 3-under 207 — Erik Compton, the two-time heart transplant recipient who considers it a victory just to be playing golf. Compton ran off five birdies and an eagle for a 67
"If I were to win the tournament, it would be obviously something that would be extremely special, not only for me, but for my family and for those who have been around me, and I think also for the community and those who have been through some tough times," Compton said. "I might just sail off and never play golf again."

Not Hassan's week: Raiding the highway fund
First, her party's efforts to slap a huge new gasoline tax on already-hard-pressed motorists was severely undermined, both by its sponsor's virtual gloating over what he said was a "gift that keeps on giving'' and by the revelation that Gov. Maggie Hassan herself has plans to take more money from allegedly strapped highway funds than the law allows.
No sooner had that embarrassing information been reported (by the New Hampshire Union Leader, incidentally), then Gov. Hassan's casino gambling revenue, on which her budget greatly relies, was under fire from two fronts, one debatable and one completely unexpected. (See editorial below for more on the gambling issues.)
The proposed 15 cent gas tax hike (over four years) has its sponsor, Nashua Democrat David Campbell, sporting two big, black eyes. Campbell has insisted that ALL that money is desperately needed for our state's roads and bridges. Except for the money that won't go for that purpose.
That's the "gift that keeps on giving'' part in Campbell's now memorable phrase. In what he thought was a confidential email to fellow Democrat committee chairmen, he explained that the tax hike would benefit non-highway coffers, such as the general fund and various departments, to the tune of millions of dollars.
How? Because the public doesn't know that gasoline used for anything besides their cars (motor boats, snowmobiles, lawn mowers, you name it) is exempt from the gas tax. What you pay for it is refundable. But, according to Campbell math: Ignorant consumers plus a big tax hike equals more money to spend on non-highway goodies.
Campbell said he was just kidding and had chosen his words poorly. You bet he did. And the Democrats, who have just been returned to power in the House, are going to have to think very carefully now before voting for this supposedly desperately needed tax increase.
Gov Hassan, meanwhile, further undermined the "need'' argument. The highway fund has been so often raided for non-highway uses that the Legislature finally passed a law requiring that a minimum 73 percent of its monies actually go to highway uses.
The last (Republican) House voted to override that requirement and, surprise, Hassan intends to do the same, raiding $26 million of highway funds to hire more state police.
So if Gov. Hassan thinks the present level of highway funding can do without millions of dollars, how are Campbell and company supposed to justify a big tax hike, with "gifts'' included?

ASHEBORO — The first random act of kindness Morgan Tedder did Friday was to leave $5 on the windshield of a stranger's car.
"Have a great weekend," the envelope said.
Tedder is president of the Asheboro Jaycees.
Club members dubbed Friday, July 11, as Random Acts of Kindness Day — or RAK Day, for short — and asked individuals to join them in doing good deeds.
The Jaycees spread the word about this "event" on their Facebook page. The primary focus was local, but people elsewhere in the state, and even in other states, pledged to participate.
Greensboro Jaycees posted on the group's Facebook page that they took part by bagging lunch for homeless individuals. Charlotte Jaycees joined by feeding a young homeless couple and providing resources for them to get additional help. Jaycee Monica Morgan gave away free doughnuts.
On Friday afternoon, Tedder and fellow Jaycee Aaron Gauldin spread joy at Randolph Health and Rehabilitation Center in Asheboro by passing out carnations and flower bouquets.
Earlier in the day, the pair had secured from staff the names of 10 residents who would especially enjoy getting flowers, but they decided they did not want to leave anyone out.
So they started visiting florists, seeking donations. Some said they could not help because it was such a slow time of year for business.
Burge Flower Shop made a donation and the Jaycees purchased more flowers — a total of 10 bouquets and 180 single carnations.
Then it was back to the nursing facility.
"We either handed the patients their flower or bouquet or put it on their pillows," Tedder wrote in an email. "All of the patients were so grateful and excited to see us, not to mention the fact that we were coming in with a flower. Some women teared up at the act of kindness, and some told us stories. Some wanted us to put it in water so they wouldn't wilt.
"It was great to hear that we had made someone's day. The looks on their faces were enough for me to know that we made the right choice in this event as well as the Act of Kindness we decided to act out. My mood has not been higher in such a long time."
* * *
For more information about the Asheboro Jaycees, connect via their Facebook page, via email at email@example.com or by calling Tedder at (336) 267-3024.

hi. im pretty new to this whole brewing thing and this forum, so please bear with me
so i just purchased a mr. beer kit a few days ago, and decided to brew this recipe kit i got from their site:http://store.mrbeer.com/defibbock.html
my question is, is it possible to brew a malt liquor or any high alcohol content beer using the kit and ingredients purchased from the site? if so, what do you reccomend/suggestions?
the one im currently brewing is supposed to reach 7% when its done, but itd like something with as much kick as a bottle of St. Ides, or more, like 8.2% - 10%+ (if possible)
id appreciate comments/suggestions. thanks
i love beer.
Very few yeasts can live in an ABV over 7%. It is extremely unlikely your kit has one of those yeasts. To get to 10% ABV, you need a wine yeast or a distiller's yeast. To get higher ABV, you also need to increase the amount of fermentables. This can be done by adding malt powder (dry malt extract), liquid malt extract or sugar. Sugar will change the flavor and make a mess of most ales.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Wrap a paper bag around it and set it in a dark smelly alley. Toss it a couple quarters, it'll come around! When its done fermenting, find some cappable 40oz bottles. For the full experience, wrap them in a brown paper bags when it comes time to drink them.
And now some info for the real Malt Liquor Conasuir. http://www.40ozmaltliquor.com/
stat quo,
Does the air lock work? Was it with the kit?
The reason I ask is the Mr. Beer keg I have does not have a sealing cap, it as two notches cut in the top of the thread to allow the co2 to expell.
It relies on the co2 blanket to protect the beer from oxygen.
I have a couple for doing half batches when my full size gear is in use.
I've also figure that instead of buying MR Beer kits (500g) At £10 + £5 shipping that use 1kg of sugar(included). I use a £7.99 malt extract kit 1.5kg and don't add any sugar. I reckon it's cheaper, easier and gives a better result.
Yep! A real skull-popper!
by the way, what's a good sugar-alternative for this kind of thing? something thatll do the job better...
Dry Malt Extract (DME) is the best choice, use it pound for pound to replace cane/beet sugar.

The first 36 holes are in the books, the field was nearly been cut in half and the push for the green jacket is ready to begin at Augusta National. With the tournament heading to the weekend and just 36 holes remaining, there will be some extra attention on Augusta National for moving day on Saturday. That doesn't, however, mean there will be additional television coverage. The broadcast will shift from ESPN to CBS, but will be a similar four-hour block.
The leaders will begin teeing off shortly after 2 p.m. ET, but some will be on the course for nearly an hour before television coverage begins at 3 p.m. CBS' broadcast is scheduled to run from 3 to 7 p.m. The broadcast could run long if the pace of play is slow, or there is a delay. Although the television coverage won't allow viewers to watch every shot of the third round live, it will allow them to see most of Bubba Watson's third round. The 36-hole leader isn't scheduled to hit the first tee until 2:45 p.m. and all but maybe a shot or two of his round should occur during the live coverage.
Watson will start out as the star of the broadcast after surging into the lead with a 4-under round of 68 on Friday. His round included a streak of five straight birdies and he opens Saturday with a three-stroke lead. With Tiger Woods not playing in the tournament and Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia and a host of other notable names missing the cut, Watson, Adam Scott and Jordan Spieth figure to be the stars of Saturday, permitting solid rounds. Scott, the defending Masters champion, will begin the day at 3-under. He'll play with the 20-year-old Spieth who is also 3-under through 36 holes. The pairing should receive more than it's fair share of attention with Scott arguably the biggest name left in the field and Spieth one of the most-talked about rising stars. Former Masters champion Fred Couples will begin the third round at 2-under. A fan favorite, Couples is sure to draw significant coverage if he can remain in contention. He's had success in the early rounds at Augusta in recent years, only to falter on the weekend. If the 54-year-old is able to stay in the mix heading into Sunday, it would be one of the stories of the tournament.
The Masters
The Masters
A handful of big names will tee off earlier in the day, including Rory McIlroy and Jason Day. Both players barely made the cut at 4-over and they will be two of the first three players on the course. With the broadcast scheduled to begin more than four hours after they tee off, McIlroy and Day will likely be done, or nearly done with their rounds when live coverage begins. If viewers want to see them play live, they'll have to resort to watching online streams from Masters.com and CBSSports.com. The online options on Saturday include a live stream of Amen Corner and a dedicated stream to Nos. 15 and 16. That will allow viewers to watch five holes live before television coverage begins. There will also be featured group streams that will follow select pairings on the back nine.
In addition to the live television coverage, CBS Sports Network will air Live Masters on the Range from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The show will provide coverage from the Augusta National practice area and include highlights of the round and some player interviews. Here is a complete look at the third round coverage.
Third round coverage
11 a.m. - 1 p.m.: Live Masters on the Range - CBS Sports Network
3 - 7 p.m.: Live third round coverage - CBS
Available at Masters.com and CBSSports.com
11 a.m. - 1 p.m.: Live Masters on the Range
11:45 a.m. - 6 p.m.: Amen Corner live stream
12:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.: Nos. 15 and 16 live stream
12:30 p.m. - completion: Featured Group 1 and Featured Group 2 streams. Exact times TBD.

Neoseeker : Games : Nintendo DS : Action : Adventure : Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword
BackgroundNinja Gaiden Dragon Sword takes place six months after the events of Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden Black. Ryu Hayabusa returns to the Vigoor Empire to continue his assault on the fiends.
GameplayThe Team Ninja-developed title is a 3D action game that makes full use of the DS's most standout feature: the stylus. The entire game can be controlled almost entirely with the touch-based motions. You guide Ryu about the play field by tapping in the direction you'd like to go. Slashing the touch pen from down to up makes Hayabusa launch an enemy into the air, into a perfect position for combos. You make Hayabusa jump by tapping the screen twice, and can then point to enemies to shoot shurikens at them and perform a downward thrust attack. Even your ninja arts make use of the stylus, requiring that you draw shapes in order to perform the special attacks. Buttons are used only for defensive moves.

My heart swoons bepaws this month alone I've had the pleasure of sharing FIVE beautiful girl Great Danes during Great Dane Month -with Ms. Posh closing the month out for me, WOOF! Posh (aka Boo) is the youngest member of her pack and most likely the most energetic one too who happens to be blond too, WOOF! I KNOW that means she's a FAWN-colored Dane but as I said previously to me it translates in dog as blond hehe. She's gorgeous too!!! You'll recall I've featured all her other pack mates here previously - Ms. Reese (aka Sissy-Sass) – pack matriarch, Andy (aka Dudeness), Marlo (aka Mimsy), and Dkoda . It must be pawesome to have such beautiful pack members to share your lives with Andy and Dkoda! I don't know if I could handle all that beauty day in and day out, but I would give it a good try hehe.
Posh is a woman after my own heart bepaws I MUST have a toy in my mouth when talking to any human, my own included! I would love to play tuggie with Ms. Posh – she and I would have a good time methinks.
Without further ado here is the one, the only, the beautiful Posh!
Read what her mom, Kim Felix of Sisco Danes has to say about her:
"Meet Posh, she's the youngest in the house at almost 3 years old. She is a sweet but very active, athletic girl – always ready to go play running at full speed, jumping and bouncing – but only with the boys (she doesn't really care for the girls that much, especially house matriarch Reese.) It wasn't always like that – her "disagreements" with Reese started a little under a year ago and one thing you don't want to get in between is a Dane "scuff." Girls will be girls! But seriously, I think Posh is vying for Reese's position – only problem is Reese is not looking to retire! So around here that means I have to rotate the two girls in and out of their own rooms making sure they have plenty of quality house and yard time. Thankfully I have two yards so they can both be outside to sun and enjoy the day without having to wait on the other. Committed dog moms and dads will do this for their animals – it's part of being a responsible dog "parent."
Posh or "Boo" (yes, even she has a nickname like all the rest) enjoys a species appropriate raw diet and a life without annual vaccinations or chemical "preventatives." I have also just started to use Bach Flower essences to see if this will help her to calm and focus when she is feeling a little anxious (she has her moments) when the other girls are around. By the way, the Bach Flower Remedies for Animals by Helen Graham and Gregory Vlamis (suggested to me by Dr. Kim) is a great book. Around here, we try to avoid medications at all costs and go the natural way with health care – the way God intended!
Great Danes (and other breeds) do this thing called "boing-ing." It's when a dog bounces with all four legs completely off the ground. Posh is an expert. You'd think a giant breed wouldn't be so agile or athletic but they can be. Did I mention she is a talker? Yes, I hear her opinions often with a "roo-roo" here and a "roo-roo" there (sometimes with a toy in her mouth.) Her best friend is Dkoda – they have some great times playing keep-away with the various "animal skins" in the yard (stuffless coyote, buffalo, or fox.) For some reason, these are the best toys in the world. Everything else isn't quite as "cool!"
Ah, the life of a much loved dog! Posh sends a "shout-out" to Shad, whom I'm sure she'd probably try to entice a little play with. She might be a little goofy, though, since she loves boys – it might annoy the Shad who is an older fella and whose days of rambunctious romping, hoping and running are probably in the past.
Because this is the last Wednesday this month, I want to thank Dr. Kim for featuring my furkids on Shadrach's blog (and many thanks to Shadrach himself!) It has been a pleasure talking about each of them, sharing stories and pictures. Many dog slobbers and human hugs from the great state of Oklahoma!"
The pleasure has been ALL ours Kim, Reese, Andy, Marlo, Dkoda, and Posh! You all RAWk!
Have a pawsitively tail waggin', NATURALLY healthy day, WOOF!

Let me start with an example:
There is a c++ program which can be run on my server, the program is named "Guess the Number" which means every time it runs,
- first it will generate an integer between 1 and 100 randomly.
- then i need the user to guess a number and pass it to me though a web page, form or something.
- now i want pass the number to the program and then the program will tell me whether it's bigger or smaller.
- then i put the information on the web page to let the user know and then make his next guess.
i am able to write the program. and i know how pass the first argument and give back the information, but don't know how to interact in the next steps. i.e.
How to pass the arguments to the program REAL-TIME and get the output?
to make this more clearly:
- i use
pythonto run the program with the first argument and get the output.
- the c++ program use std inputs and outputs, like
while (!check(x)) scanf("%d",&x);, and in
check(int x), i use
if (x>rand_num) printf("too big\n");to output.

Great hotel in perfect locationPosted Aug 25, 2014
Pros: Great location, staff very helpful, a very good breakfast with a lot of selection.
Cons: We could not work out how to control the heat/ cool in the room. We hear the unit going on but seemed to have no control.
Location: Great location for all sightseeing. Only 3-4 blocks from the harbor, palace, museums close by. Many good restaurants close by.
The hotel was very comfortable and in a perfect location. The breakfast was excellent. We could have also had the dinner however chose to eat in one of the restaurants close by. It was easy to get to by train from the airport. You depart one station after the central station and walk back maybe 3 blocks. You can take the fast train for about 170 Konge each or the slower train for 90.

City centre, Perfect positionPosted Aug 17, 2014
Easy to get to all tourist spots. Good food available, staff wonderful.
for Everyoneby A verified traveler from Beirut, Lebanon
LocationPosted Aug 2, 2014
Pros: the front desk staff
Cons: The food
Location: So central, everything is within walking distance!!!
If you are looking for location, it is superb. However, the noise from some nightclub close by is unbearable,,specially on lower floors. Additionally, the free dinner leaves much to be desired. However, when it comes to the assistance of the desk help, both, Maria and Carsten (hope spelling is correct) were beyond amazing. Full of support, friendliness and made us feel like long lost friends and not just paying guests.

Perfect Location and Terrific Food!Posted Jul 10, 2014
Pros: * Complimentary and delicious breakfast and dinner buffets * Location--close to subway/train station, shops, museums, harbor
Cons: The hotel is in need of some refurbishment in addition to air conditioning. Also, there is not much programming available on the TV.
Location: The hotel is across from a park, one block from Karl Johan's Gate, and a short walk to the harbor, shops, museums, and the subway/train system.
We enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Cristiana Teater very much. When we first booked, they were owned by another company, and our reservations included only a complimentary breakfast buffet. However, when they became affiliated with Clarion, a complimentary dinner was added, and this became a delicious and valuable bonus! It almost made up for the fact that there is no air conditioning in the hotel, and during our stay, Oslo experienced some of its warmest weather. The location is also a plus: the subway, train, and airport express station is about a 3-minute walk from the hotel, as are many shops, the harbor, museums, other sights, and Karl Johan's Gate, which is the main street.

Excellent location in downtown close to everythingPosted Jul 7, 2014
Pros: Location, proximity to city center, monuments restaurants everything.
Cons: The lobby is plain as compared to other hotels. They should decorate it a bit to give a nice first impression
Location: Downtown location. Its next door to the Palace, National Theatre, Noble Academy
At first it looks very plain. It is an old hotel very centrally located. Accessible by direct train from the Airport. Just get off at the National Theater 3rd stop. Rooms are large and have been well decorated. Has a wooden floor which is great. This was the only hotel we stayed in Norway where we had a single queen comforter other wise all hotels had two singles. Well we like to cuddle so it worked for us. Bathrooms are spacious clean and comfortable. Like the idea of glass between the bathroom and the bedroom...once again thoughtfully creative. Great for couples We enjoyed very much.

Problem finding the hotel, partly because the name had changed. Location is good and the price was very reasonable.

Fantastic Location and Huge RoomPosted May 16, 2014 on Hotels.com
The room was absolutely massive by European standards. Huge, high ceilings, a very comfortable bed and massive flat screen tv. The bathroom was an odd configuration but very lovely regardless. It had a great coffee/tea machine as well which is uncommon in many hotels. The breakfast was fantastic and had something for everyone.
