Man, these back-to-back west coast games make these previews feel rushed. LA's music is way too big to just jump into for a few hours, so let's leave that for a Lakers game with a day or two off prior. For now, let's take our tour of the USA's tuneful towns to Buffalo, NY, the original home of the Clippers franchise.
The Braves were a 1970 expansion team that lasted until 1978 before relocating to San Diego and having the decency to at least take on a new name, the Clippers. The owner of the Celtics was a Californian who knew he couldn't get the owners to approve a move from Boston, so he traded his team for the Braves and moved them instead. The deal was brokered by NBA general counsel David Stern.
The best player for the Braves? Bob McAdoo, who in 1973-74 was the last player to average 30 points and 15 rebounds in a season. KLove, you have your work cut out for you.
Lets get to the music. Not a lot in Buffalo that grabs me, but there is one guy whose records I bought back in the day: Rick James. Here is a clip from long before his Superfreak days, back when he fled the draft during the Vietnam War and started a band in Toronto. His lead guitarist? A dude named Neil Young. Who knew Neil+Rick = Keith+Mick?
Rick James grew up in Buffalo. He later spent time in Folsom Prison (which came up in the musical preview for Sacramento today) and died in LA, where the Braves eventually ended up playing in the Staples Center and where the Timberwolves hope to end their road trip with a second consecutive win.
For the Minnesota side of the equation, here is a #12 single from around the same time frame as the song above. The Castaways were a Twin Cities band and recorded this in the same studio where Dave Dudley recorded "Six Days on the Road."

undersized, not overly physical, fluid in drops, tackling machine? been there, done that. No thank you.
speaking of the senior bowl did anyone else catch Mayock and whoever his cohost is talking up Raheem and what a great job he's doing coaching the DBs there and how he just loves football.....
Rice will be franchised. I do compare doug martin to rice. He has that 5'8 to 5'9 frame with over 200 pounds packed on it. Not a 4.3 guy but neither is ray, they both can still break big runs. At RB the height and weight ratio is very important. However JDouble a 225 pound LB is a 225 LB who will be tossed aside by linemen and FBs in the NFL. Im sick of undersized LBs. However LBs are getting smaller. I can remember some LB, (maybe that rookie McCarthy who took Ruuds spot) saying he never wants to be above 240 because the game is about short area quickness. And I guess Patrick Willis is only 235 so maybe Im just overreacting to the crappy undersized LBs we have had recently.

By Cade Fowler - bio | email MOULTRIE, GA (WALB) – Cotton harvest is getting underway in south Georgia.
Extreme summer heat hurt the quality of the crop. But this could still be a good year for Georgia farmers because international demand is up.
At the beginning of August, there were 45.5 million bales of cotton in global inventory. It's the lowest level in more than a decade and that's creating high demand for one of Georgia's top cash crops.
"India, the number two exporter in the world, is not exporting. The number one user of cotton is importing, that's China. Pakistan's been ravaged with Old Testament style floods. So the U.S. is in the drivers seat, but we're just about out of cotton ourselves," said Keith Brown, president of Keith Brown & Co. in Moultrie.
He says the global demand for cotton has sent the price per pound to a near 18 month high at 87 cents. That's good. What's bad is the crop itself.
"We're seeing evidence of the heat ravaged crops we have. The cotton matured too early. I have several clients that are going to be defoliating cotton and gathering cotton around Labor Day weekend. They all tell me any cotton gathered around Labor Day is not good cotton," said Brown.
The cotton may not be in good shape, but the futures market is already looking bright for next year.
Brown said, "We're already looking at December cotton for next year approaching 80 cents. In days gone by that would be a super attractive price for farmers, and it still is."
But even during times when the demand for cotton sent prices soaring as high as $1.15 per pound ,as was the case in 1995, the market reacts and production costs go up as well.
It's gamble in a Bull market where climate, rainfall, and global demand are all rolled into one.
"For those people who provide an input, they have green light to raise those prices. For instance, a bag of soy bean seed went for $18 now its $45. A bag of cotton seed next year may go as high as $500," said Brown.

Stillwater Hits Snag in Restructuring Effort
Investors in asset-based lending vehicles run by Stillwater Capital may have to wait another six months before redeeming their investments.
A year ago, the New York firm struck a deal to convert limited-partnership interests in two hedge funds and a fund of funds into restricted shares in a publicly traded company known as Gerova Financial. Under the deal, Stillwater investors were told they could begin selling their Gerova stock in January 2011.
Last month, however, Gerova disclosed in regulatory filings that the timetable for freeing up Stillwater investors was being pushed back. Why? Because Stillwater was five months late in filing audit reports, and more recent acquisitions by Gerova had complicated efforts to properly value the company.
Reached this week, Stillwater founder Jack Doueck acknowledged it could be another six months before investors are permitted to sell their Gerova shares. Meanwhile, financial analyst Dalrymple Finance issued a report last week accusing Gerova of mismanagement and fraud. In a Jan. 18 press release, Gerova denied the allegations and said it had hired corporate sleuth Kroll to investigate possible market manipulation by Dalrymple.
Like other asset-based lending managers, Stillwater got caught in a liquidity squeeze during the financial crisis. Unable to meet withdrawal requests, the firm suspended redemptions from three vehicles: Stillwater Asset-Backed Fund, Stillwater Real Estate Fund and Stillwater Market Neutral Fund, which invests in other asset-based lending hedge funds.
Rather than sit on the funds' assets indefinitely, Stillwater entered into the deal with Gerova, which was founded in 2008 by Gary Hirst, head of Boca Raton, Fla., hedge fund operator Hirst Financial. Hirst incorporated Gerova as an insurance company with the idea of buying up assets from struggling insurers and hedge fund managers. Since signing the deal with Stillwater on Jan. 20, 2010, Gerova has acquired the assets of Weston Capital's Wimbledon funds.
Last week's report from Boston-based Dalrymple shed an unwelcome light on Gerova and Stillwater. The little-known stock-analysis firm, run by husband-and-wife team Keith and Victoria Dalrymple, accused both firms of misleading investors. Dalrymple disclosed that it is shorting Gerova's stock.
Stillwater plans to post a lengthy response to the Dalrymple report on Gerova's website. In a telephone interview, Doueck said the report is riddled with inaccuracies. Ultimately, he said, the truth will come out. We have a good business and the short sellers aren't going to win.

Release from the Wisconsin Lottery: Richard
Ingles of Eau Claire is the Wisconsin Lottery's newest millionaire. And he
knows just how lucky he's been.
and his wife Lillian today validated a $2 million winning ticket from the
February 13 Powerball drawing. They took the ticket to the Lottery's
headquarters in Madison
and left with an after-tax lump sum payment of $1.3 million.
$2 million winning ticket was just the family's latest bit of good fortune.
Richard said he survived the Vietnam War without a scratch and went on to have
a dream job with Boeing that took him wherever he wanted to go throughout the
world. Five years ago he was in need of a liver transplant and was told he was
unlikely to receive one because of his age, but he did get a new liver after a
series of improbable medical events. His wife Lillian then went into the
hospital for knee replacement surgery. Severe complications arose and she wound
up in a coma. The family wasn't sure if she would live. But she did, and she is
on the mend.
retired and 71, Ingles said he joked to his wife, "Maybe I shouldn't play the
lottery. I'm so lucky I'll probably win it."
win he did.
ticket in the February 13 drawing matched all of the winning numbers except the
Powerball. Ingles also purchased the Power Play prize multiplier feature and so
his $1 million ticket automatically became a $2 million winner. The February 13
winning numbers were 12, 23, 25 and 43, with a Powerball of 29.
bought his Powerball ticket at Kwik Trip, 1130 W. MacArthur Avenue in Eau Claire.
selling the $2 million winner Kwik Trip earns a commission of $40,000.
Wisconsin Lottery retailers that sell winning tickets with prizes of $600 or
more earn the equivalent of 2% of the prize, up to a maximum commission of $100,000.

With a 4-1 series win over Detroit in 1956, Montreal started a consecutive championship streak that would reach five, a record to this day.
Rookie coach Toe Blake replaced Dick Irvin, and Henri Richard, brother of Maurice, started his playing career. Henri would go on to win an unprecedented 11 Stanley Cup rings. Jean Beliveau scored seven goals to set the all time record for goals in the finals, including one in each game. Montreal won the Stanley Cup at home with a 3-1 triumph in game five.

Housebreaking A PuppyHousebreaking a puppy is one of the first tasks new owners face, and it's probably the most challenging!
If you've just added a puppy to your family, this guide will help you to understand the basics of puppy potty training and help get you started out on the right foot.
Puppies are creatures of habit, and they thrive on routine. By setting up a regular, predictable schedule of potty breaks, meals, play/exercise and sleep, you can make the process of housetraining a puppy quick and (relatively!) easy.
Like all puppies, Rottweiler pups are eager to learn, and want to please you. Most problems with puppy potty training happen because the owners haven't shown their pup what is expected of them clearly and consistently.
Read on to find out how to make sure this doesn't happen to you......
Start Out The Right Way
Housebreaking a puppy starts the minute you bring the little guy (or girl) home!
Before you even bring your Rottie puppy inside, take her directly to the place where you want her to eliminate outdoors. A grassy area is best, somewhere not too busy but close enough that you can get her there from the house pretty quickly - you'll need to do this often.
Try to use the same door as often as possible, this will help later on as he/she will naturally head for that exit when nature calls!
I'd also recommend using Poochie Bells firmly attached to the handle on that door. At first you'll need to help your puppy to 'ring' the bells, and at the same time you can use a verbal cue such as "time to go potty!". Puppies learn by repetition and your little one will soon associate these bells with the need for a potty trip and, when mature enough to have free-run of the house, will 'ring' them herself to alert you.
Choose a word that you'd like to use as a 'trigger word' to encourage her to pee/poop. I usually use the words "go potty", but anything will do - she doesn't understand the word but will learn to associate it with elimination over time.
Let her walk and sniff a bit, while you quietly repeat the trigger word. When she 'goes', tell her "good potty" and pet her. A treat is a good idea too. Then you can go inside the house.
When housetraining a puppy, I strongly recommend using a crate. It is almost a 'miracle tool', and helps to prevent 99% of accidents indoors (when used properly). It also helps your pup to learn bladder/bowel control, and is a safe place for her to stay when you can't be with her. Visit my Puppy Crate Training page to learn all about this method of housebreaking.
Of course you'll need to supervise your puppy closely whenever she's not in her crate, and learn the body-language that indicates the urge to pee/poop (usually intense sniffing, circling and eventually squatting).
Your new 8 week old puppy will need a potty break approximately every 30 minutes to an hour, and will probably need to go outside at least once, maybe twice during the night to begin with. As she grows and matures, so will her bladder/bowel control and she'll be able to 'hold it' for longer periods.
Puppies learn through association and form habits (both good and bad) very quickly. The 'trick' to housebreaking a puppy is to make sure that she learns the CORRECT habit right away.
Inconsistencies, poor supervision and infrequent potty breaks can make housebreaking a puppy take longer, and be more stressful than it needs to be. It usually result in a pup who adopts the wrong habits (such as peeing on the carpet), because she hasn't had a chance to learn the correct habit. There's a saying 'if the student hasn't learned, the teacher hasn't taught', and this sums the situation up perfectly.
Unfortunately once the wrong habits are started, you have two things to teach your pup - to un-learn the wrong way, and then to re-learn the right way. Obviously this is twice as difficult and it's much better not to get yourself (or your pup) into this situation in the first place!
What To Do About Puppy Potty Training 'Accidents'
When you're housebreaking a puppy, there are bound to be a couple of 'accidents', even when you're super-careful.
Puppies have little bladders, they're quick, and you're busy.... accidents happen!
BUT, they shouldn't happen often. If they do, YOU'RE doing something wrong and should take a close look at your housetraining method/routine.
Puppies are drawn back to the spot of a previous elimination by scent. Even if you think you've cleaned the area thoroughly, unless you use an enzymatic cleaner (such as Nature's Miracle) which is especially designed to remove all traces of odor, you're little girls acute sense of smell won't be fooled.
When you're housebreaking a puppy, here's what to do if she pup pees/poops indoors :
Important Note: When you're housebreaking a puppy, never scold her unless you actually 'catch her in the act'. Otherwise she won't have any idea why she's being punished, and it will only frighten her. If you've given her the time and opportunity to eliminate out of your sight - you're at fault! Scold yourself :o(
The keys to successful puppy potty training are routine, patience, vigilance and consistency. If you follow the guidelines above, you will be able to housebreak your puppy without too many tears.
But you need to be realistic in your expectations. You'll be disappointed if you fully expect your Rottweiler puppy to learn the right habits within a week!
While it's true that some puppies are little 'Einsteins' and practically train themselves, the majority of them aren't quite as quick. You can expect your little girl to grasp the basic concept within a few weeks, but she simply won't be equipped, mentally or physically, to be reliable for some time.
In my experience, crate training speeds up the process of housebreaking a puppy (and makes it less stressful for everyone), but most pups aren't really reliable about their potty habits until they're around 6 months old.
One of the drawbacks of potty training a large breed pup like the Rottweiler, is that any 'accidents' will be equally large! However, this is counter-balanced by the fact that your Rottie pup has a bigger bladder than the tiny or toy breeds, and consequently can 'hold it' a bit longer too. Don't be tempted to push your luck though.
So, now you're all set to start housebreaking your puppy the RIGHT way. Your little girl (or boy) is going to be a star!
Housebreaking a puppy is a task that is worth taking the time to do right. An adult dog who hasn't learn the correct elimination habits is difficult to live with, and sadly many dogs are abandoned every year because of this. Don't let your pup become a statistic, make housetraining your pup a priority so that your story has a happy ending.

ENGL 415 Studies in a Major Author
NOTE: Cross listed with AFST 325 for Fall 2011
We recommend that ENGL 415 Studies in a Major Author be certified as a writing (W) course for the next four academic years (1/09 to 9/13). We have reviewed the syllabus and have determined that the course meets or exceeds the following criteria:
1. Percentage of final grade based on writing quality (35%)
2. Course content appropriate to the major
3. Total number of words (3000-4000)
4. Instructor to student ratio for one section: 1:24
Because ENGL 415 is a special topics course taught by many different faculty members, the department Undergraduate Studies Committee monitors compliance with W requirements. Each fall faculty formally submit proposals for the following year. The Committee approves each and checks for appropriateness for the W designation. All faculty with approved proposals are given copy of the W course checklist when their actual 415 assignment is made as a reminder of expectations. Nine different professors have taught a 415 since its initial approval. Professors mentor every step of the process, with checks and/or exercises on topic selection, annotating bibliographies, outlines or a prospectus, and rough drafts. In addition to lectures, prompts, and models, a third use in-class workshops as well as peer reviews. Writing assignments over the term increase in complexity from such assignments as response and close reading journals to reviews of scholarly articles to critical analyses to the term paper. All professors use lecture, discussion, and scholarly and peer modeling. All require rough draft checks. A third use peer review. A third use collaborative writing activities to teach particular elements such as proposal writing/research topic development, annotating, etc.
No significant changes have been made since original certification was granted.

War widows fight for a fairer deal (From Witney Gazette)

War widows unite to fight for a fairer deal
6:30am Thursday 3rd April 2014 in News
War widows from across the country will today highlight their campaign for more equality in the way they are financially treated by the Government.
More than 120 members of the War Widows' Association of Great Britain will attend its annual general meeting at the Oxford Belfry Hotel in Milton Common, near Thame.
The four-day event will see the installation of a new chairman, Irene Wills, from Plymouth.
She said: "The campaign is focused on righting a wrong.
"Not all our war widows are treated equally, with some disadvantaged because their husbands died at the 'wrong time'.
"War widows tend to be forgotten in the aftermath of war – that is why the association is as relevant today as it was when it was first founded."
On Sunday, some members will attend a service in Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, before heading home.

Town Square
Hostermans Contradictions
Original post made by Rick on Aug 13, 2008
She supports the Oak Grove devepment: A develoment of building mega mansions in the pristine hills of Pleasanton. These homes, some of which can be larger than 10,000 square feat, are sure to leave a massive carbon footprint.
In a recent interview, Hosterman was asked about the City's response to a lawsuit from ABAG. The suit contends that Pleasanton has not met its requirement to provide low income housing. Hosterman suggested that low income housing should be provided in of all places, Brentwood! Apparently, Hosterman would like to turn low income people into super commuters. That would produce tons of carbon, pollution, and perpetuate the traffic mess on interstate 580.
Finally, she keeps a wild falcon as a pet. This is against a local ordinance but she recieved an exemption from the board. One wonders what would happen if we all decided to capture wild animals for our personal pleasure.
As one who supports as strong environmental agenda, I find Mayor Hosterman has demonstrated poor leadership as a champion regarding global warming, pollution, and suburban sprawl.
That's All
on Aug 13, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Echoing Rick's point, my daughter and I are disappointed in the council's decision last year or whenever to build out the land for the sports park. this appears to be marshlands which serve an important role protecting people and property from floods and is a habitat to many species. Why does the city of pleasanton think of themselves as green? Hardly!!
on Aug 13, 2008 at 7:37 pm
I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about. Are you referring to the Staples Ranch property? Did you know that Pleasanton had very little control over that since the land is owned by Alameda County?
What would you propose for Oak Grove, keeping in mind that property owners have rights too? The Oak Grove agreement gives 500 acres of that land to Pleasanton for parkland/open space. Did you forget that Matt Sullivan also supports Oak Grove and the process by which it came about (where's the "Sullivan Contradictions" post)? Also, you seem really sure that the Oak Grove homes are going to leave large carbon footprints. Really? There's no plans on the table for the homes. What's your inside information? How do you know they possibly won't have solar panels, green building materials, grey water systems, etc.?

The Bossier City Police Department revealed on Tuesday that a man who died after riding in a taxi cab that crashed on I-20 early Sunday morning passed away because of injuries he suffered in the crash.
Christopher Chambers, 44, of Princeton, was a passenger in an Action Taxi cab about 3:15 a.m. when cab, a Chevrolet Impala, left the westbound lanes of I-20 and crashed into a group of trees.
The car's damage was so severe that Bossier City Fire Department personnel had to extract both Chambers and the driver, Jessica Umphries, 32, of Bossier City, from the car.
Police say Chambers was responsive and walking around after being removed from the car, but he was soon taken to LSU Health Center by Fire Department personnel due to his condition. He died later that morning at the hospital, and there was no immediate indication that he died as a result of the crash.
On Tuesday, Bossier City Police learned an autopsy determined Chambers' death was caused by internal injuries as the result of trauma.
Police are investigating to see if alcohol was a factor pending blood test results from the driver. Police say there is no indication at this point in the investigation that alcohol was involved.

Paper Pieces
So I thought I'd expand my horizons in quilting piecing (they are definitely not the same thing, though people tend to mix them up). I've been reading the Intergalactic Transport blog of Jimmy McBride, who makes pieced quilts that depict various pieces of the cosmos like wormholes and things. His quilts involve a lot of small pieces with irregular corners and edges. I thought, "that would be neat. I wonder if I could do that?"
But first, to know what I'm talking about, you have to visit this post to see what I mean: all cut out.
OK, are you caught up? If you didn't visit, I can wait. Because otherwise the rest of what I have to say won't make any sense.
So my project is not intergalactic, it's more terrestrial, and I don't have all day to do this as he seems to (he's A Real Artist with Shows and Stuff), but I'm doing trying to do a smaller scale pieced quilt in the tradition of his quilts right now. I'm not going to try to tell you it's going perfectly, or that it's quick, because I would be lying.
If you know how big pin heads are, you know how big these pieces are that I'm turning into fabric and sewing together. They're all irregular shapes. Curves both concave and convex. If you've ever sewn before, you know that convex/concave edges don't play very well together so they can get sewn up properly.
So I'm pretty much swimming in a sea of tiny pieces. Mr McBride makes it look almost easy, but I assure you, having tried it, that I'm thoroughly impressed with him and how tidy and neat his pieces are. I know he's done a fair number of these, and my hat is completely off to the man. I'd like to sit and watch him in his studio one day, just to admire what he does and maybe learn a few things.
Anyway, I'll give y'all more info later, but all I have is a sneak peak tonight. The thing is assuredly not ready for public presentation now.
Meanwhile, I saw this outside the Berkeley Public Library last night:
I read about it last Thursday on her blog, but I was quite pleased to see Streetcolor's huge colorful work in person. I love the squiggly bike rack ones! I'm pleased Berkeley is the sort of place where people leave this type of thing alone and don't immediately rip it up, deface it or remove it. I think it adds a lot to public spaces. I may have to yarn bomb something down here in Temescal, if only my house …

Auburn and Georgia meet Saturday in the 117th playing of the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry, a game that dates back to 1892. Really, it's the oldest series in the South, dating a few months earlier than Virginia-North Carolina, but since the Cavaliers and Tar Heels have played one more time, they claim the title of "South's Oldest Rivlary." The Georgia game means a great deal to Auburn people, and vica versa, and the town surrounding Jordan-Hare Stadium will no doubt be buzzing this weekend.
The city of Auburn -- if you want to call it a city; it really is much more of a town -- is located in southeast Alabama, roughly two hours from Birmingham to the northwest and Atlanta to the northeast, and 30 minutes from the Georgia state line directly east. Montgomery, Alabama's capital city, is roughly 45 minutes away on I-85 South.
Affectionately known as the Loveliest Village on the Plains, Auburn is home to about 57,000 residents, the vast majority of whom are connected in some direct way to Auburn University. There's a little downtown area with bars, restaurants and shops; a nearby state park; several local golf courses and a museum of fine art. Like most college towns, it has its famous -- at least to locals -- places to eat and drink.
Tailgating at Auburn is a bit spread out, but there's plenty of it. The most central location is directly adjacent to the east side of Jordan-Hare Stadium, located in the shadows of the football cathedral and also the statues of Heisman Trophy winners Bo Jackson, Cam Newton and Pat Sullivan. There's a bust of John Heisman, too -- he was the school's first head football coach, and Auburn is the only school that can claim Heisman as a coach and at least one winner of the award bearing his name. While this tailgating area is the closest to the stadium, it's also a bit controversial. The entire space is operated by Tailgate Guys, a company that sets up and tears down tents, tables, TVs and other tailgating-related accessories. It isn't cheap -- the most budget-friendly package for the full 2013 season costs $2,175 -- but not having to worry about staking claim to a prime spot, setting up at the beginning of the day and packing up at the end is an enticing offer.
Aside from Tailgate Guys' territory, fans set up at various spots around campus. The most popular spot is likely the amphitheater, located a little farther east of Jordan-Hare. A huge green space with tall pine trees surrounded by academic buildings, it's the best spot for anyone who wants to set up early and control every aspect of their tailgating experience. The intramural fields offer another popular location, and really, any green spot on campus will have at least one tent set up.
No matter the spot, the Auburn faithful enjoy going all out for their pre- and postgame revelry. In addition to burgers and hot dogs, it's not uncommon to find other assorted sausages, homemade barbecue that has been smoked for hours and even venison on the grill -- deer-hunting is a favorite Southern pastime, after all. Auburn fans have a warranted reputation for being on the conservative side, but that doesn't mean fall Saturday parties are dominated by a bunch of teetotalers. Beer and/or liquor can be found at most tailgates, and if there's liquor, it's almost always going to be bourbon. Really, there's no reason for a visitor to go hungry or thirsty on game day. Just walk around and say "hello" a few times, and plenty of good eats and drinks will be offered.
Nightlife in Auburn is mostly centered around Downtown, a strip of a few blocks on College Street. At the corner of College and Magnolia Avenue -- hey, College and Magnolia is the name of our Auburn blog -- is Toomer's Corner, the postgame meeting spot after any win. Harvey Updyke may have poisoned the decades-old oak tree that had been rolled by fans since the '70s, but that tradition has just spread to other nearby trees and traffic lights. After hoisting a roll toilet paper into some branches, the Bank Vault, Quixote's, 1716, Bourbon Street and Sky Bar are favorite watering holes within a couple of blocks. Anyone looking to make it a really late night would be wise to visit the War Eagle Supper Club. A dive dating back to the '30s, it features live music and a "shot bus" out back -- yes, that's an old school bus with a shot bar inside. It's quite a hike from Downtown, but the Supper Club offers a bus that will pick up and drop off, and it's free.
Dining in Auburn is, for the most part, focused on college-town and Southern fare. It's Alabama, so there's plenty of barbecue. Any resident would fiercely defend their personal favorite joint, but Mike and Ed's (near Downtown), Byron's (a little farther out on Opelika Road) and Chuck's (way out in Opelika, but worth the trip) are tough to beat. The Hound is Downtown, has an excellent local beer selection, offers good versions of some classic American cuisines -- burgers, meatloaf sandwiches, pork chops, etc. -- and does a solid Sunday brunch. Amsterdam Cafe features a to-die-for crab cake-and-avocado sandwich. Little Italy has tasty pizza -- thin crust, or thick Sicilian-style -- and beer pitchers. Mama Goldberg's is probably the "most Auburn place" in town. The little hole in the wall has expanded all over the Southeast, offering steamed sandwiches and nachos.
Also, some more advice on where to eat and drink:

From Birds And Bullwhips To Girls In Heat, Sovereign Syre Is Always Unique
VENICE, CA –Tony Batman's A Entertainment News - Sovereign Syre is beginning production on the second movie she's directing for Filly Films, this one called Girls in Heat.
The cast includes Vanessa Veracruz, Reena Sky, Roxy Lotus/Natasha Malkova, Aaliyah Love, Dana Vespoli, Ela Darling and Keira Kelly and Sovereign says it's about girls in the summer sun, heating up while cooling down.
"There is going to be lots of shimmering bodies, bikinis, water, sweat, smiles and sex," Sovereign said. "My Girls in Heat will be a brighter, more glamorous outing with a group of girls that I know to be very strong performers – and also some of the most beautiful. There's nothing sexier than the curves of a woman's body slick with oil or beaded with sweat or rising out of the water in a barely-there bikini."
This Wednesday Fetish Fanatic 11 comes out from Belladonna Entertainment/Evil Angel. She has a scene with Lia Lor that promises to be very hot – especially for foot worship fans.

Stefano Colantuono: "The first half was a little timid, above all due to Palermo's efforts. We did well to wait for our moment. I am happy for Cristian Raimondi."
Gian Piero Gasperini: "It hurts to lose like this and it feels like it came against the run of play. To draw or win would've been useful to boost our confidence. We have to begin again by building on a great first half performance."

"When visiting Chicago you must stay here . ."
TripAdvisor 5 of 5
Wonderful three-story home - we rented the entire hours for a group of 18. Easy travel to a Cubs game, two train lines, and downtown Chicago. Great house with lots of room for group activity or alone time.
This house had it all, from the wonderfully helpful Teri to a cleaning crew that made sure we came in to a well-appointed home. Everything is there to make sure you are comfortable and secure. Great backyard with a grill and patio seating, two-stall garage and one additional space next to it, and a comfortable front porch to watch the many dog walkers and joggers in the neighborhood. Can't say enough about how great things were, and the coffee that was provided to us was outstanding.
Whether you rent one, two or all three floors, this is an exceptional find. Thanks again Teri.
"Wonderful experience! Great service! Great property!"
TripAdvisor 5 of 5
We had a fantastic experience! I can't recommend it enough! Convenient location, comfortable property with all the amenities and customer service that went above and beyond! We had our family Christmas at the Clark Suite and Teri even had a real, decorated Christmas tree up for us when we arrived! We made some great memories here! The rooms were furnished comfortably with plenty of linens & dishes for our group. The kitchen was fantastic with everything we needed, including great coffee, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We all loved the steam shower in the downstairs bathroom! We had a great time shopping at the great shops on Southport close by. And the L (train) was so convenient too for our trips down to State Street, Michigan Ave and everywhere else. When our flights were delayed due to weather, Teri was very flexible on checkout. It was a pleasure any time we spoke with Teri or her team. I will definitely seek out Teri's properties for any future stay in Chicago! Thank you so very much!
"Our first home in Chicago"
TripAdvisor 5 of 5
The Chicago Guest House, and the owner Teri, are wonderful! My fiance and I stayed here when we first moved to Chicago, since I had gotten a new job and we wanted a temporary place while we figured out where to live. Needless to say it was a stressful time, but having such a spacious, comfortable, beautiful place to stay during our first few weeks here helped a lot (as did the steam shower!). We loved everything about the suite and the neighborhood; the only thing we could have asked for was to stay longer. Not only was the guest house perfect, but Teri was so responsive and helpful, she even helped us set up an appointment to see a potential apartment! Teri and her staff made our tough transition infinitely easier - we cannot thank her enough.

UPDATE [Oct 21, 2013] -- A motion filed by the Oklahoma Innocence Project on behalf of an Ada man convicted of murder will move forward.Karl Fontenot has been in prison for 28 years. He was convicted of murdering Donna Haraway who disappeared from a convenience store in Ada in 1984. Fontenot has maintained his innocence.In July, the Oklahoma Innocence Project filed an appeal application for post-conviction relief, as well as a request for hundreds of documents it says were never disclosed to Fontenot's defense attorneys.A district judge in Pontotoc County has now granted that request.The records and evidence must be given to the court before December 31.
EMAIL: firstname.lastname@example.com
UPDATE [Sept 2013] -- Monday, the Oklahoma Innocence Project appeared before a Ponotoc County District Court judge on behalf of Karl Fontenot.Brook Arbeitman, spokesperson for the Oklahoma City University School of Law, issued this statement: "The Oklahoma Innocence Project (OIP) was in Ponotoc County District Court today on behalf of client Karl Fontenot. Tiffany Murphy appeared before Judge Tom Landrith who heard her motion for discovery in the Fontenot case. We expect Judge Landrith to make a ruling on the motion later this week."[Posted: Jul 25, 2013 10:50 PM CDT]PONTOTOC COUNTY, OK -- Representatives for the "Oklahoma Innocence Project" at OCU's school of law have announced they believe a man convicted of murder in the 80's is innocent. Karl Fontenot is serving a life sentence without parole for the 1984 killing of Donna Denise Haraway in Ada.
Investigators with the Oklahoma Innocence Project say they believe there were many inconsistencies throughout the case that could grant Fontenot a re-trial.
But, Pontotoc County District Attorney Chris Ross disagrees. He believes there is not enough evidence to warrant a re-trial.
"Well, they aren't jurors, you know. Thirty-six jurors heard this evidence and 36 jurors found Ward and Fontenot guilty," Ross said.
Ross says there is no new evidence, such as DNA, that would prove Fontenot's innocence. The state of Oklahoma has 30-days to respond to the documents filed.

'XY That Girl' will be about those living out their lives as a transgender and the struggles they face as they live as one who is familiar with both the lives of men and the hearts of women. The fact that a show like this will be airing in Korea has already brought much attention.

Wild wind warning as 70mph gusts expected on Sunday
4:30pm Friday 24th January 2014 in News
The wet and very windy weather is set to continue in Cornwall and Devon, with the Met Office warning of gales and torrential downpours on Sunday.
The 'Yellow Alert' is due to a weather sysytem set to cross the UK from the west during Sunday.
A spokesman said that heavy rain and gales are likely to affect most areas for a time with further flooding possible in prone areas, particularly where the ground remains saturated following earlier rain.
Adding: "The public should be aware of the possible disruption to transport."
The Met Office's chief forecaster has said the wild weather is due to an Atlantic frontal system and that most areas will see a period of heavy rain and very strong winds.
Rainfall accumulations of 15 to 25 mm are expected quite widely with 35 mm or more locally.
Expect southerly gusts 40 to 50 mph quite widely, particularly with the passage of the front, and probably peaking 60 to 70 mph or more around exposed coasts and headlands.

ID Card Printers have a limited optimal shelf life. After two years, the quality of a ribbon begins to deteriorate. As the quality of the id printer ribbon deteriorates, so will the quality of the printed product. An older ribbon also runs the risk of breaking, and thus being unusable all together. It is best to not overstock ribbons, and only purchase as many id printer ribbons as you will need for the next calendar year. Proper storage of unused printers is paramount. Printer Ribbons should always be in a sealed container so as to protect them from particulates in the air that will damage the ribbon and affect the quality of printed images. Installation of a printer ribbon should be well documented in the manual of your printer. Follow the directions carefully so as to properly install your printer ribbon. You should always use ribbons that are specifically designed for your id card printer.

Posting ID : B1009001637
Date Posted : 2012-06-04
Category : Pets
This female cat is about 5 years old. She is a beautiful calico cat. She is about 7 pounds, and loves attention. She does not do well with other animals. She would be a great pet for an elderly house hold, or a couple without children. She is not bad with children, she just get scared easily. It may take her awhile to get used to you, but once she does, she'll never leave your side. She loves drinking out of the sink or the bath tub. We would not like you to let her outside, since she has never been an outdoor cat, she is also well boxed trained, and eats about any food.
Sadly we have to get rid of her, because we are moving into a smaller house, and with the other cats we have, it would make more tensions for her, and we just want her in a happy home.
I also, can send you more pictures if you would like to see more.

The teachings on lojong, or training the mind, are essential teachings on developing genuine compassion on the path of meditation. Based on the seven points of training of the 10th century Indian teacher Atisha Dipankara, these pithy slogans are tools for developing openness and skill in helping others. They are as helpful and relevant today as they were 1000 years ago.

$PHP_SELF and include files
I am trying to create a contact form that sends a e-mail to a specified e-mail account. Thus far I have been able to send an e-mail through the form. For security reasons and also to filter out rubbish, the data needs to be validated before sending the e-mail.
After a user submits the a form the data needs to be validated and if filled out correctly an e-mail is send. If not the user needs to stay on the same page with a warning that the data is missing or not correct.
To accomplish this I want to use the $PHP_SELF action. However, for the layout my site uses templates that are included through an include_once function. At first I want to use an IF / ElSE statement in combination with to inject the template with HEREDOC. However, with HEREDOC I haven't been able to use my include files.
Could someone offer me general advice how to accomplish this?

//php part

//on success
//you need footer you can include it here...
//not clean method ...many idea here
show form in plain html
in value do

just a baisc algorithm
hope this helps...

There are pretty much discussions on this before in this forum. So please try to search in the forum before you discuss more here. But what I would recommend is:
- Make a form that is submitted in the page.
- Check whether the form is posted in the page on top of the page.
(very top of the page so that you can redirect the browser upon success to another page without header already sent warning)
- Check if any errors found. If not found then do send email. Otherwise let the process on the same page.
See the following script:
PHP Code:
if($_SERVER['REQEUST_METHOD'] == 'POST'){
$error = array();
$name = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['name']);
$error['name'] = 'Name is required';
// do send emails or do whatever you want here
// redirect to thank you page or some other pages or at least redirect the browser to the same page.
// so that it wont resubmit the form when refreshed the page.
// else it will automatically stay in the same page
// your form will be here.
Mistakes are proof that you are trying.....

I am getting the basics, but more information would be helpful.

Let me start with a disclaimer. I adore my husband and think he is an outstanding Father. My Dad was the best Dad ever, and I think my three brothers do a very good job with their awesome children. There now I can be honest with you. Why oh why do (most) men parent so differently from women?
For starters, why don't Fathers like schedules? They may say they like schedules and they may wake up at the same time every work day but that is about it. It will be 5:30 p.m. and a Father will stand in front of his young children and say something crazy like, "Kids, what would you like for dinner tonight?" Huh? You are asking little kids what they want for dinner at dinner time. Your answer will range from chocolate cake to s 'mores to dry cereal. I would go with the dry cereal for sure Dad or Mom can whip up one of her famous last minute healthy dinners. And then you have the other side of the unscheduled day, bedtime. Dear old Dad is caught up in a wrestling match and doesn't realize it is 9:30pm on a school night and little Nick and Sally are both under 6 years old. Hmm, this doesn't bode well for wake up time whenever that is. Mom enters the room and plays bad cop assuring the kids and Dad that there will be time for wrestling tomorrow or never.
Then there is the cleanliness issue. Now maybe you shaking your head at the previous scenario but when it comes to keeping the house clean and organized, men are really from another planet. Yes, I am talking about flushing the toilet and putting the lid down but that is child's play. My four year old almost has that mastered. I say almost because my friend was in from out of town last week and she joked that she awoke to a "surprise" in the toilet and no toilet paper left on the roll. Gross! But I think the real gripes many woman have with their husbands are the day to day things. Don't just walk but the things on the stairs pick them up and take them upstairs. When you hear the dryer buzzer go off go take the clean clothes out and fold them. OK, just take them out. When you come in don't (and this is a huge one for me) take off your shoes directly in front of the door where I can (and will) trip over them. And for the love of God don't take off your sweaty gym clothes and dump them next to the laundry basket in the closet. Yes, I said next to.
So what do we do with our husbands from Mars? I could go on and on about how they are so different but when it comes down to it we aren't really going to change them are we. So let's embrace these foreign creatures and move on with our crazy lives. Instead of leaving the scheduling up in the air it is know in our house that dinner is at 5:30 p.m. and bed is at 7:30 p.m. on school nights. We have meals planned out and yes I ask my kids for input but rarely in an open ended question. The kids still love to wrestle with Dad and I watch with appreciation that we only have two kids. The cleaning issue is still an issue but Dad has gotten better at getting his sweaty gym clothes where they belong....in an incinerator. My son announced that he went to the potty and flushed too and my husband smiled proudly. My daughter and I just shook our heads. But did he remember to wipe?
As for the shoes left at the door issue, well that is a work in progress. Bad news is I noticed that my daughter has started to do it, too. Maybe I am the one from Mars and everyone else is "normal".

#1,499 Beautiful Ruins.
I had a hard time falling asleep last night so I stayed up late into the night finishing Beautiful Ruins and I just can't recommend it enough to you. It was so, SO good. You should know that the cover is meant to be ironic, I think—it's a book mostly about men, written by a man. The cover is clever in that it makes you think "Oh! What an easy and fun chick lit read!" but what you get is a story that is dark, honest, and beautiful about what it means to really love and sacrifice, and most of all I think the cover is about life the way you imagined it would be instead of the way it actually was.
I couldn't stop thinking of it all day, how I'm going to miss the characters. Do you ever feel that way when you finish a good book? I've never stopped thinking of Susie from The Lovely Bones, or Florentino and Fermina from Love in the Time of Cholera, or Hadley from The Paris Wife. It's like they were all real people I met at some point in my life who had a great impact on me—though now I've lost their contacts. I can't get back in touch with them. I can tell that Dee and Pasquale will be hanging around in my mind for a while too, now.
Are there any books you love that I need to know about? Next up, the book Ben gave me this Christmas called The Tenth of December. I hear it's wonderful.

It's such a great read, isn't it? A friend of mine (whose recommendations on such things I trust implicitly) said she enjoyed Walter's "The Financial Lives of Poets" even more -- a tall order! -- so I may need to pick that one up soon.ReplyDeleteReplies
You know, I was really curious about that! I'll look it up, too!Delete

Here's an amazing book! It is not a novel, but a book that is so applicable to life and who we are as believers. It is "1,000 Gifts". It has changed my life. You should check it out....and if you have already checked it out or read it, so sorry! I try to tell everyone about it--clients, friends, family!ReplyDelete

The South Ferry loops are a pair of New York City Subway underground stations in South Ferry, Manhattan. The outer loop is serviced by the 1 train at all times; the inner loop is only used for turnarounds. The stations, the southernmost in Manhattan built by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company, are two side platforms on curved sections of track that form balloon loops; however, free transfers were unavailable between the platforms and each platform was meant to be served by its own line. The most recent configuration consisted of the IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line on the outer loop platform and the IRT Lexington Avenue Line on the inner loop platform. Both stations are individually named South Ferry; the name "South Ferry loops" is used to distinguish these platforms from the successor station, South Ferry, that was used by the Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line's 1 service, from 2009 to 2012. The outer loop platform reopened on April 4, 2013, to provide temporary replacement service for the newer station that was closed because of damage caused by Hurricane Sandy.[2]
Outer platform[edit]
On July 10, 1905, the outer South Ferry platform was the first of the two platforms to open and was an extension of the original trunk line of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company. The inner track existed when the station was built, but only as a storage track. When the "H" system of the IRT opened on July 1, 1918, Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line trains used the outer platform while the inner platform was opened for IRT Lexington Avenue Line trains which used the original trunk line in Lower Manhattan. Services on the Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line, including the 1 and 9 trains, used the outer platform as a terminal station since its inception, except for two relatively short periods of time. The first period was between September 2001 and September 2002 since the main branch south of Chambers Street was impassable after the September 11 attacks. The second was from March 16, 2009, when the new South Ferry station opened for 1 train passengers, to April 4, 2013, when the outer platform reopened with a transfer to the N, R, and W trains of the BMT Broadway Line. The newer station, located underneath this one, allowed a free transfer to the N, R, and W whereas neither of this station's platforms originally did.[3]
The outer platform accommodates the first five cars of a train. The rear five cars of a 10-car train cannot load or unload. Gap fillers are used to bridge the gap between the platform and the doors. Spray nozzles lubricate the track to reduce the friction caused by the tight curve. The sharp curvature slows train operation and generates a loud metallic scraping noise.[4] In order to eliminate this special operation, the new station was built as a two-track, full (10-car) length island platform on a less severe curve, permitting the operation of a typical terminal station.[5][6] The MTA claimed that the new station saved four to six minutes of a passenger's trip time and 24 trains per hour could run on the entire 1 service during peak hours, as opposed to 16 to 17 trains per hour with the loop station.[7]
The outer platform's only point of egress was within the Staten Island Ferry's terminal building and was not ADA-accessible. By contrast, the successor station is fully accessible (although its transfer to the BMT Broadway Line is not) and has three entrances; the main entrance is across from the ferry terminal building's entrance.[5] After Hurricane Sandy in late October 2012, the outer loop was brought back into service in order to turn trains uptown after terminating at Rector Street, since the replacement station suffered extensive flooding damage and was closed indefinitely for repairs. After a few months, the MTA decided to reopen the loop station as an interim terminal to restore the connection from 1 service to the Staten Island Ferry. The station reopened on April 4, 2013, with a connection to Whitehall Street.[8][9][10]
The outer track is the only track used for passenger service, serving 1 trains at all times.
Inner platform[edit]
The inner platform opened for IRT Lexington Avenue Line passengers on July 1, 1918, as that line's service was moved from the outer platform. This platform has an even sharper curve than the outer platform, and only the center doors opened here, with special arched openings in a wall between the platform and track at the locations of the doors.
In the late 1950s, when the IRT division began to use mostly R-type cars which could not have only the center doors opened, 5 trains (which ended at South Ferry evenings and weekends only) and 6 trains (which ended at South Ferry late nights) were rerouted to the outer loop. The Bowling Green – South Ferry Shuttle, which ran weekdays and at first also late nights, continued to use the inner loop, running to the west platform at Bowling Green until 1977, when the inner platform was closed and Lexington Avenue trains stopped using the outer loop. Specially modified R12 cars were used starting in the late 1960s until the service ended. These cars had two different door controls; the first opened the outer two sets of doors while the second opened the center set of doors only. There was no free transfer between the inner loop and the outer loop platforms.
The inner track is used to turn 5 trains when they terminate at Bowling Green on weekday evenings and weekends.
