text: As a long time fan of Steve Stevens' playing, I was tremendously excited when I heard of a new solo record. After a first listen, I was not disappointed. The guitar playing is incredibly virtuostic, delving into flamenco, blues, solid riffs, and experimental "sound efx", as usual. The speed and sheer precision of the playing is mind-bending. The songwriting and melodic structure is exciting, and occaisionally pushes the envelope. It may not be as adventurous as Steve Vai or Mike Keneally, but is definately moreso that Satriani. I am not a fan of the blues, and was a little disappointed when the songwriting occaisionally went down this road. (The Blues are just too repetitive for my tastes.) But despite the form, even these songs leapt out of their standard nature at the fingertips or Mr. Stevens. Any fan of "Black Light Syndrome" will enjoy this record.

"Frozen" Soundtrack Bumps Beyonce from Billboard's Top Spot
From the Queen of Arendelle to the Queen of Pop: back off! Beyoncé Knowles' album sales have just been defeated by "Frozen's" soundtrack.
The Disney animated flick's soundtrack has clawed its way back to number one at the box office, and has also reached number one on Billboard's Top 200!
If anyone is counting, Beyonce's eponymous album has sold 130,000 copies this week, bringing the total to 1.43 million.
"Frozen's" synopsis states that, "Fearless optimist Anna teams up with Kristoff in an epic journey, encountering Everest-like conditions, and a hilarious snowman named Olaf in a race to find Anna's sister Elsa, whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom in eternal winter."

The World > Europe > Spain > Northern Spain
"One day I dreamed of a utopia: to find a space where they could rest my sculptures and people walk among them like a forest", and Eduardo Chillida's dream came true, but unfortunately this splendid place is no longer open at the moment to the public. This year 2012, marks 10 years since the death of the Basque artist.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

At Dk's Place, staff members fill a family-friendly arcade environment with engaging, age-appropriate activities for children as well as adults. In addition to air-hockey tables and skee-ball machines, video games challenge patrons to test their dancing, driving, or zombie-chasing skills, occasionally rewarding them with tickets. Although many of the prize counter's gifts and novelties can be purchased with a single ticket, guests can also opt to save up for premium awards, including lava lamps and plush animals stuffed with dodo feathers.
As guests perfect their hand-eye coordination in the arcade, chef Gregorio Oviedo tosses and bakes pizzas back in the kitchen. Layering crusts with salami, artichoke hearts, and 16 other toppings, he creates signature pies such as the barbecue chicken and the hawaiian, or allows diners to design their own.
For nearly two decades, the chefs at Ludy's Main St. BBQ and Catering have perfected their recipes for slow-smoked meats, fresh fries and slaw, and handcrafted barbecue sauce. For proteins that are tender yet full of robust flavor, slabs of beef, pork, and baby-back ribs smoke slow and low for six hours before being plated with hand-cut fries and sides such as barbecue beans or potato salad. Smoked prime rib is served as a special on Friday and Saturday evenings and arrives with fresh coleslaw, fries, and cornbread with honey butter.
Inside, customers chow on plates amidst 100-year-old salvaged barn wood and Western knick-knacks. Those who take grub outside enjoy the spot voted Best Patio in Yolo County, complete with a brick fireplace, water wheel, and babbling brook where many a penny have learned to swim.
It's hard to miss the The Elephant Shack's bright orange and green exterior painted with pachyderms. The mammoth beasts also decorate the interior of the eye-catching sandwich shop, raising their trunks in virtually every form imaginable: as statuettes, stuffed animals, coin banks, and a much prized hat signifying the winner of their monthly free-lunch contest. The victor might dig into a classic sandwich, such as a french dip or turkey and bacon club, or opt for clam chowder served in a bread bowl. The kitchen also serves breakfast all day long, sating bacon-and-egg fanatics and guests who never remember to change their clocks.
Maria's Cantina cultivates a comfortable, homey feel from its implementation of Old-World recipes to its use of fresh, organic ingredients from nearby farms. The accommodating staff treats its customers like extended family, inviting them to lounge at sleek wooden tables as they sup on painstakingly prepared tacos, sip top-shelf margaritas, or leaf through the chef's grandparents' wedding album.
Red and shiny, Rust Bucket Eatz's 20-foot mobile food truck looks nothing like its name implies. This fully equipped kitchen on wheels matches the hue of a classic fire engine, but instead of putting out flames, its chefs corral the fire to create classic American food. Customers can line up for their choice of handheld favorites, including pork sliders and tacos, polish dogs, and hot wings dressed in a zesty homemade sauce. Garlic fries and crispy onion rings accompany meals in both individual and shareable sizes, eliminating the need to leave IOU notes on a friend's empty plate.
When Jim Knudson bit into his first taco during dinner at a friend's house in 1949, he knew he had tasted something special. He added the item?which many diners were pronouncing "tay-co"?to the menu at his restaurant in Grass Valley, California. Determined to introduce the food to as many people as possible, Jim and his wife, Margaret, converted a 16-foot trailer into a kitchen on wheels. They adopted the nickname Jim had earned from one of his longtime customers and drove up to Lake Tahoe, where Jimboy's Tacos found its first permanent home.
Locals, tourists, and even members of the Rat Pack flocked to the tiny taco stand for the uniquely seasoned, parmesan-dusted ground-beef taco, the anchor of a growing menu. The family eventually relocated to Roseville, California, where they set up a small taco stand and began branching out to other locations in and around Sacramento.
Today, Jim Knudson?s daughter Karen, the current president of the company, carries on the legacy of taco obsession at more than 40 locations in northern California and Nevada. Guests who arrive early for breakfast might glimpse the cooks slowly simmering beans, mashing avocados into guacamole, and preparing their signature ground beef with trans-fat-free oil. In addition to classic corn-tortilla tacos, the menu holds the mega-size flour-tortilla El Gordo, golden-fried taquitos, and even a taco burger that fuses Mexican and American culinary traditions.

While most trainers never get to run in the Kentucky Derby, let alone win it, Doug O'Neill is three weeks away from doing the former in the hopes of accomplishing the latter.
His meal ticket this year for the $2 million race at Churchill Downs on May 4 is Goldencents, who, like I'll Have Another in 2012, won last Saturday's Santa Anita Derby. I'll Have Another went on to shock the world by capturing the Run for the Roses. If Goldencents stays healthy, he'll have his chance to do the same.
The brownish chestnut won the Sham Stakes at Santa Anita in his 3-year-old debut, weakened to fourth after a controversial pace duel in the San Felipe, but rebounded beyond expectations (of bettors, anyway) to win the Santa Anita Derby with authority under Kevin Krigger, who has ridden the son of Into Mischief in each of his six starts.
Now, it's on to Louisville for Team O'Neill.
"He came out of the Santa Anita Derby great," O'Neill said. "He's doing super but it's one day at a time. He was back on the track for the first time today, jogging, and at this point, we would work him nine days out (at Santa Anita, where the colt is based) and fly him (to Kentucky) seven days out. That's the tentative game plan."
O'Neill is on record as saying how last year's experience with I'll Have Another benefited the barn, specifically in the knowledge that it can win the Kentucky Derby with the modus operandi it used in 2012. O'Neill doesn't intend to deviate much, if at all, this year.
"Those are all pluses," he said. "Just having been there is a huge plus, that and the confidence and calmness everyone gained. But it's all about the horse. The fact that he's traveled to New York, traveled to Louisiana, and he's a pretty well-seasoned 3-year-old, has us pretty excited as well."
Prominent in the Goldencents story is the fact that Rick Pitino owns five percent of the colt. Glenn Sorgenstein and Joshua Kaplan of Santa Monica, who race as W.C. Racing, own 75 percent and David Kenney of Yorba Linda owns 20 percent, but Pitino is the mainstream name that draws national headlines and exposure on ESPN and network TV. He is head coach of the Louisville Cardinals basketball team, which won the NCAA title last Monday night.
The 60-year-old Pitino also was elected to the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame on Monday and with Louisville's victory over Michigan, became the first coach to win the NCAA crown with two different teams, having done so with Kentucky in 1996.
"We've been texting back and forth," O'Neill said. "Rick's all fired up. He's on Cloud Nine, which he should be. What a great run he's been on, and we're just glad to be part of Team Pitino. I feel like I'm the luckiest man alive."
Not that she needs any, but Mizdirection has options from her outside post position in a field of six for Saturday's Grade III Las Cienegas Stakes for older fillies and mares at about 6 ½ furlongs on turf.
"It's a good draw," trainer Mike Puype said of the No. 6 stall. "You can do whatever you want from out there."
A virtual win machine with nine victories from 14 career starts, including the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint against males at Santa Anita last Nov. 3, Mizdirection will be seeking her fourth straight triumph. The gray daughter of Mizzen Mast has earned $1,094,621 for her owners, sports talk icon Jim Rome, who races as Jungle Racing LLC; William Strauss, Daniel Grohs, Kevin Nish, Michael Kramek and Boris Beljak.
Puype also sends out Schiaparelli in the Las Cienegas. The gray daughter of Ghostzapper will be seeking her first stakes win for owners Robert Naify of San Francisco and Jan Van de Bos of Sausilito.
"We expect a good race from her as well," Puype said. "She ran well with blinkers last out and they stay on Saturday."
The field for the Las Cienegas: Purim's Dancer, Tyler Baze, 5-2; Schiaparelli, Joe Talamo, 4-1; Dancingtothestars, Kevin Krigger, 15-1; Givine, Martin Pedroza, 20-1; Bench Glory, Brice Blanc, 10-1; and Mizdirection, David Flores, 3-5.
Jay Robbins figured it was time to smell the roses while both he and the flowers were still above ground.
The only trainer to win back-to-back Breeders' Cup Classics, the 67-year-old Pasadena native officially called it a career Wednesday after more than four decades on the job. He will go down in racing history as the only trainer to send out a repeat winner of the Classic, having done so in 2000 and 2001 with the California-bred Tiznow, who was named Horse of the Year in 2000.
"I've been thinking about retirement for a year or so," said Robbins, who saddled his first winner with Kenavo in 1971 at Hollywood Park. "The uncertainty of the industry was more of a concern to me than anything else. I don't handle what's going on here that well."
Another difficult but less important transition for Robbins will be adjusting to new sack- time hours. "The hard part will be learning how to sleep in," he said. "All these years I've been used to getting up at 3:15 to be at the barn by 4:45."
Agent Scott McClellan, who represented Tiznow's jockey, Hall of Famer Chris McCarron, recounted a memorable incident during his long association with Robbins.
"Chris was scheduled to breeze Tiznow a mile before the 2001 Classic but the horse was getting smarter in his old age," McClellan recalled. "A week before the mile breeze, McCarron was on Tiznow to break off at the wire but the horse wouldn't break off.
"He goes into the turn and he's stopping, refusing, won't break off. Now he's over by the gate, still won't break off. He finally got to the half-mile pole--this is 40 minutes later, mind you, not 10--so I suggested to Jay, 'Why don't we see if we can get him in the gate?'
"He says, 'That's a good idea,' and just then, Tiznow broke off at the half-mile pole. He worked a mile, from the half-mile pole, all the way around back to the half-mile pole, in 1:35 and change.
"Now I'm thinking, Jay ain't gonna ship and run this horse. He won't even work. Sure enough, a week later, he wins the Breeders' Cup."
The Stronach Group has announced that Tom Ludt has agreed to join the company as a Senior Vice President of the Racing and Gaming Group. Ludt has been President of Vinery Farm since 2004. In that role he oversaw significant breeding operations Vinery owned in Kentucky, Florida and New York. During his tenure, he recruited numerous stallion prospects to stand at all three locations. Tom also led the Racing Division, which produced numerous Grade I winners including a Breeders' Cup champion and an Eclipse Award winner.
Ludt currently serves as Chairman of the Board of the Breeders' Cup. He sits on numerous other Breeders' Cup sub-committees: Governance, Compensation, Finance & Audit, Racing and Nominations, Marketing, and Race Day Medication Committee. As a condition of his employment with the Stronach Group, Ludt has agreed he will not stand for re-election as Chairman of the Breeders' Cup although he will continue to serve as a Director. To ensure there will be no conflict of interest, Ludt will recuse himself from any vote of the Breeders' Cup Board, which involves future host sites for the event.
Alon Ossip, CEO of the Stronach Group said, "We are extremely pleased to have a person of Tom's knowledge and stature as a key part of our team. He will be a great asset to us as our Group continues to expand within the industry."
Added Ludt: "I am really excited about this new position and honored that The Stronach Group has the confidence in my knowledge and ability to assist them in advancing the sport of Thoroughbred racing and gaming. My passion for the Thoroughbred industry has led me through many doors and this great opportunity is too good to pass up. I can't wait to get started."
Ludt is a former member of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, served as chairman of the International Wagering Hub for KHRA and a board member of the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association.
Having been involved with many aspects of the industry through ownership, insurance, farm management, developing racing partnerships and stallion syndications and with his service on various boards, Ludt has helped achieve significant changes with integrity and safety issues. He brings a diversified perspective to the Thoroughbred breeding and racing industry.
The following statement was issued from Breeders' Cup President and CEO Craig Fravel on Tom Ludt:
"On behalf of the Breeders' Cup Members and our Board of Directors, we congratulate Tom on his new position with The Stronach Group and thank him for his outstanding work as Breeders' Cup Chairman. Tom's remarkable leadership, accomplishments and his desire to make the Breeders' Cup World Championships the best event in sports will be difficult to replace. We wish him well in his new endeavor and look forward to his continued service to the Breeders' Cup."
Ludt will serve the remainder of his term as a Breeders' Cup Director but will not be standing for re-election as Chairman. The Breeders' Cup Members will elect new Directors to the Board in July. When the new Board is seated, the Directors will elect the new Chairman.
FINISH LINES: Moving closer to a start in the Kentucky Derby on May 4, Sunland Derby winner Govenor Charlie worked four furlongs on Santa Anita's fast main track Thursday under Martin Garcia in company with stablemate Brannaman in 48.20. "He went very nice," trainer Bob Baffert said. "He went out (five furlongs) in a minute and change." Brannaman was clocked in 48.60 . . . Agent Brian Beach reports that Corey Nakatani rides at Keeneland tomorrow and Saturday, namely Mr. Commons for John Shirreffs Friday in the Maker's 46 Mile against Horse of the Year Wise Dan, and on Saturday 2011 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint winner Regally Ready for Steve Asmussen in the Shakertown and Undrafted for Wesley Ward and owner Wes Welker of the Denver Broncos in the Blue Grass Stakes . . . Former Major League pitcher Brad Penny is owner/breeder of Tribal Syn, a 3-year-old daughter of Tribal Rule who debuts for trainer Howard Zucker in today's sixth race.

Served in 10oz goblet. Poured a lightly cloudy reddish brown color with just a thin cap of off-white head that had no retention or lacing. The aroma featured a good graininess that was tart and bright, but no one feature stood out.
The taste followed the scent pretty closely, no single aspect stood out, but the Rye did show itself a bit more than in the nose. There was a pleasant tartness that lingered on the finish. The body was clean, crisp and smooth. Drinkability was good, I'd happily have a couple, or more, of these. Overall, a pretty nice brew that you should try if you see it.

Thanks to AmericanBrew for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a yellow color with a white head. The aroma is heavy on the perfume and floral notes, with some bready malt and alcohol. There is also a hint of spearmint in the aroma. The flavor is about the same. The floral and perfume notes come through pretty strongly, with some biscuit malt thrown in for good measure. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

A: Pours a opaque yellow with a thick white head that has excellent retention.
S: The spearmint is very upfront, mingling with faint light malt. There is a floralness from the hops, and the whole aroma is quite refreshing, almost cleansing.
T: Wow, it has an overwhelmingly light and fresh sensation that hits before the flavor, which is light mint with slightly sour rye malt and a slight spiciness from the hops.
M: Medium body, smooth, fresh and a little dry on the end.
D: Couldn't drink many of these, but would be perfect after a garlic heavy meal.

Not sure how I feel about this. Very interesting. Hazy gold with thin white head. Slightly savoury rye scent, with a weird, cool sweetish mint nose. I pick up a slight bitter citrus, likely from the hops.
Bittersweet minty flavour with rye bread mingling in there. Weird dry mint aftertaste. Not horribly unpleasant. The mint really sticks in there.
Nice mouthfeel, and despite the really unique taste, this is nice to drink. I'm really not sure what to make of this. Its not drain worthy, but I don't want to rush and get more. Maybe more of an occasional beer.

Had this from a bottle, bought from Full Throttle. Poured into a tulip at about 45F. Definitely a tough one to review - very different from anything I have had before. The addition of the spearmint really changes this beer - reminded me a lot of what you might expect mint tea to taste like if mixed with a rye beer. The earthy rye is evident, but the spearmint dominates the flavor. Comes off fairly savory - didnt notice the brown sugar mentioned on the bottle. Perhaps would pair well with food. Flavors become more balanced, and the spearmint a bit less pronounced, as it warms.
Overall, I call this a mild success as by the end of the bottle I was at least enjoying it. At first, I was a bit put off since it tastes completely unique, but it does grow on you, and in summary, it is an interesting take.
Personally, I wouldnt make this a repeat purchase, but it is definitely worth trying once at least, and I am encouraged to try some others from the brewer. Bonus points to them for trying something new.
PS - this should probably be classified as an herbed/spiced beer IMHO.
PSS - Long lingering aftertaste is like having chewed a stick of gum!

Poured a rich straw-gold into a tulip with a finger of fluffy white head. Complex, tea-like aroma of mint, black tea, and spice.
Lowish carbonation and a light, smooth mouthfeel. More complex notes of mint, cucumber, and parsley. Occasionally picked up some slight grass, lemon, pilsener-like notes. Dry cucumber finish with a hint of funky Belgian spice, perhaps due to the rye.
Not much hop presence that I could detect, but a very intriguing brew nonetheless. I found the finish to be a little sour at first, but this improved greatly as the beer warmed. Another memorable offering from Epic Ales!

This beer is brewed with Rye and Barley along with Spearmint and brown sugar.
A- This looks similar to a hefe when poured. Very hazy straw golden yellow with a nice thick creamy head that lasts for quite a while.
S- The smell is very interesting. Almost smells like that of a pale ale with a nice hop aroma, but then this nutty earthy rye smell comes in all mixed in with this spearmint sensation. I'm picking up some yeast bread notes as well. Very interesting.
T- This is one that grows on you as you drink it. I'm sure this beer (along with the other beers by this company) will be a love it or hate it. The rye and malt presence is very good and solid. Then you get this mint and hop flavor that seem to co-mingle. The hops are of a more bitter taste but it works well as a whole, and the mint is very interesting and refreshing.
M- Thicker full body, but it works well, and the mint seem to help thin it down in feeling.
D- Yes, and the more I drink it the more I'm thinking about when in the year, and I'm thinking this would be an excellent summer beer, that mint and a nice hop presence would be great on a hot day.

Shop Wonderland
37 Haji Lane tel: 6299 5848
Hours: 10am to 8pm daily
WITH a name like Shop Wonderland, it's no wonder you feel like Alice in Wonderland when stepping into this place. There are no Cheshire cats, but there are a few rabbit figurines on the shop floor that make good door-stoppers. Pretty lamps hang from the ceiling, while dried leaves and vines twirl around the shop displays.
Shop Wonderland is the retail arm of Wonderland for Detailed Planners, an events company that owner Melissa Wang started in 2010. It handles corporate and wedding events.
In 2012, she branched out into retail, focusing on local homeware brands. "You have stores that retail local fashion labels, but there is little platform for local homeware, and I wanted to give these brands an option," says Ms Wang.
Some of the local brands she carries include When I was Four, Japanese ceramic plates from Democratic Society, leaf-shaped plates from Davy Young's Leaves with Memories series, as well as gardening kits from Easy Gardens.
Ms Wang also carries some foreign brands, such as teacup sets from British designer Louise Wilkinson as well as candles from American label, Voluspa. The candles which retail from $39.90, along with cushions priced from $49.90, are the store's bestsellers.
"I pick items and brands which I would not mind using for the events that I'm planning for, or even for my own home," says Ms Wang. These brands are exclusive to Shop Wonderland in the Haji Lane area.
Shop Wonderland used to be located a few doors away but it was too small, so Ms Wang moved to this bigger space in December. The retail space takes up the second floor and with eye-catching bric-a-brac sprawled on a big table or on shelves by the side.
Paper lanterns hover cheerfully overhead on the ceiling, lighting up the workshop space which Ms Wang uses to create floral displays or to conduct classes on floral crafts and watercolour illustration on weekends.
Since reopening Shop Wonderland, Ms Wang has added a small cafe on the ground floor. She calls it The Pantry, and sells an assortment of cakes, muffins and pastries from Maple & Market, Carpenter & Cook and Plain Vanilla, alongside a selection of teas from Gryphon.
"Again, I wanted to work with local artisans," she says. Instead of paper lanterns, vintage lights with floral lampshades hang from the ceiling.
The overall look of Shop Wonderland is a little whimsical and magical, especially in the evenings. "It's funny how visitors have used these terms to describe the place, but as long as it's not labelled as cute that's fine," she quips. "Actually, I see Shop Wonderland more as an emporium of services, from cafe to retail with workshop space."

Effingham Daily News
---- — GREENUP — Olivia Titus stepped to the plate for the Cumberland Pirates, with the bases loaded, tied at 1-1 and nobody out in the fourth inning.
Titus hit a sharp ground ball to Marshall's Abbie Switzer, who fired a throw home to cut down Audrey Casey at the plate.
Marshall catcher Madison Shaffner dropped the ball, allowing Casey to score. And with that, the floodgates opened.
Cumberland scored seven more runs in the fourth inning to take a 9-1 lead, and despite a rough top of the fifth, the Pirates cruised to a 13-4 win over LIC foe Marshall. The game was not counted as an LIC contest, however.
The fourth inning showed a killer instinct that bodes well for the Pirates, said new head coach Marnie Blade.
"We had a lot of clutch hits with people on base," she said. "That's what you have to do."
Things started off quick for both teams. Cheyenne Thompson led off the game with a single for Marshall, and would come around to score on a two-out RBI single by Switzer.
Cumberland quickly answered, however. Casey ripped a one-out double off the left field wall, scoring Jasie McMechan to tie the game at 1-1.
Freshman Katie Poe toed the rubber for Cumberland, and found herself in trouble for the second straight inning. With runners on first and third with two out, Poe got Thompson to ground out to Taylor Layton to end the inning.
From there, Poe calmed down, retiring seven batters in a row. She started in place of staff ace Kaylee Carlen, who is out with an injury but may return Saturday.
"Poe is really doing well on the mound, working really hard on her composure and her different pitches, really proud of her.
Cumberland broke the walls down in the fourth following the run by Casey. After a strikeout by Paige Oakley, Cumberland rattled off four runs on a two-run single by Ashley Greger and a two-run double by Jordan Plummer to go up 6-1. By the end of the inning, Plummer would score on a passed ball and Poe and Layton each knocked in a run with RBI singles to extend the lead to 9-1.
Poe ran into a bit more trouble in the fifth. She struck out the leadoff hitter, but then surrendered a walk, a hit by pitch, a walk and another hit by pitch to score a run for the Lions. Switzer laced a two-run single to cut the lead to 9-4, but then Poe got out of the inning with a ground out and a flyball to Oakley.
The Pirates put the pressure right back on. Plummer got an RBI on a groundout to third, and McMechan and Casey had RBI singles to end the inning up 12-4.
Titus gave the Pirates more breathing room in the bottom of the sixth, crushing a leadoff homer to left center and giving Cumberland a 13-4 lead.
Poe finished out the game from there, and Cumberland moved to 1-0. The freshman went seven innings, allowed four runs, struck out three and walked one.
Casey went 3-for-4 with two RBI, scored twice and reached base all four times. Titus was 2-for-4 with a solo home run.
"We were hoping that we came out with tight defense and our offense would come through," Blade said. "Everything except some early game jitters, I thought they did well."

FRANKFORT, KY (WAVE) – Burglars have targeted a locally-owned drug store in Frankfort and police say they were able to get away with more than $22,000 worth of prescription pills.
This was the third time in a year thieves have broken into Capital Pharmacy, but this time owner Aaron McIntosh said they were able to get away with more than ever before.
McIntosh said he was frustrated to find thieves once again broke into his business.
"They usually know where to go," said McIntosh. "They've known where to go the past few times."
With large tubs in hand, the suspects went straight to a specific shelf targeting certain painkillers.
"Our assumption of course on this is these drugs are going to be resold for street drugs and in which case the value of the stolen property is going to increase significantly," said Major Fred Deaton with Frankfort Police.
Frankfort Police say it took the two men less than two minutes to get away with more than $22,000 worth of pills.
"It appears they were driving a light colored Ford 150 pickup truck and both suspects appear to be white males, medium height, medium build," said Deaton.
The independent drug store has been around for 26 years. McIntosh said this last year has been the worst for break-ins. He's already stepped up security measures, but is planning to do so once again.
"We got better glass in the door, but I'm still going to put up the security gates that will hopefully keep them out," said McIntosh.
If you have any information that could help police, you are asked to call Frankfort Crime Stoppers at 502-875-8648, you may be eligible for up to $1000 reward, and Capital Pharmacy says they will match the reward.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Mental Health
Omega-3 Levels in Diet and Red Blood Cell Membranes of Depressed Patients
A study published in the Journal of Affective Disorders found low levels of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the red blood cell (RBC) membranes of depressed patients but not in a well-matched healthy control group. The study also found that increasing severity of depression was related to decreasing RBC membrane levels of omega-3 fatty acids as well as decreasing dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids.
Fish Consumption and Depression
In an issue of the The Lancet, Dr. Joseph Hibbeln, a researcher at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcohol Consumption, reviewed data from nine countries and found a high incidence of depression in countries with low fish consumption. He cautioned that various economic, social, cultural, and other factors could have influenced the results of the study. However, additional studies have found that high blood plasma concentrations of docosahexaenoic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid found in fish, have been linked to increased serotonin turnover and lower incidences of depression and suicide.
Fat-Restricting Diets and Depression
In the journal Nutrition Reviews, researchers reviewed a number of studies that suggest that there may be an association between extremely low-fat diets, low cholesterol levels, and an increase in the incidence of depression.

Theo Epstein Jersey? Say it isn't So.
Please Cubs fans, I implore you not to buy or wear this jersey. When in the history of this game have we ever seen a jersey sold with the name of the teams GM on the back of it? Lets stop the madness, let the guy get to work and lets hope after his first week in Chicago he doesn't feel as though he made a mistake in coming here. This is embarrassing to say the least, not necessarily because the shirt was made but because there will be Cubs fans shelling out hard earned money to actually wear it.

News: Chief Keef Sparks Massive Attention, Forced Out Of Cali Rehab Center
Thursday, Dec 12, 2013 7:32PM
Chicago rapper Chief Keef is rap's newest bad boy and his star power amongst the media reportedly has him being placed into a new California rehabilitation facility.
According to reports, the media's intense interest in Keef has forced him to a new location for the duration of his 90-day sentence.
Chief Keef has been moved from a fancy Malibu rehab facility because the media just can't get enough of him. Keef's lawyer tells us the rapper is no longer at Promises ... he's been moved to another rehab facility in Southern California because of the "overwhelming media attention" he was getting in Malibu. We're told Keef -- aka Keith Cozart -- still has about 60 days of court-ordered treatment to go ... as he deals with his weed issues. Attorney Leah Starkman says since Chief won't be home for Christmas ... home will come to him .... arrangements are being made to fly his family out from Chicago. (TMZ)
Keef updated fans on his rehab stint with a few Twitter postings last week.
""@mattsweet9: @ChiefKeef how's rehab bruh"Shid it Cost 80k jus to get in here and 30k for a Personal room how u think ???? chefs and mansions," he tweeted December 6.
""@steve_scarlett: @ChiefKeef is rehab fun?"No I gotta go to meetings And groups ????" (Chief Keef's Twitter)
Buzz behind the teenage rapper getting out of jail and preparing for a Cali stint surfaced online last month.
Chief Keef's a free man again ... sorta ... TMZ has learned he's been released from jail in Chicago and is supposed to check into rehab in California for his weed problems. As TMZ reported ... the 18-year-old rapper had been on probation for speeding ... but landed back in court this week after testing positive for marijuana on three random drug tests. A Chicago judge ordered Keef to rehab ... 'cause he clearly can't stop smoking bud. But ... there's still the matter of his community service ... which he'll begin serving in Chicago after he finishes his stint at the California facility. Keef's lawyer tells us... Chief left jail around 2:15 P.M. CST today ... and his lawyer tells us he'll arrive in LA either tomorrow or Sunday. (TMZ)
Details of Chief's latest legal woes emerged online back in early November.
Teen rapper Chief Keef, who has been in and out of jail multiple times this year, was ordered into a 90-day residential drug treatment program after failing two drug tests, the Cook County sheriff's office said Wednesday. The 18-year-old, whose real name is Keith Cozart, appeared before a judge in Skokie Wednesday and was being transferred to the Cook County Jail Wednesday afternoon. (DNA Info)

Arizona men's basketball team felt right at home as fans repeatedly chanted "U-OF-A" through out the MGM Grand Garden Arena during the Wildcats' 63-43 victory over Colorado in the semifinals of the Pac-12 tournament.

Apartments should be coed
Many college campuses around the nation allow students of the opposite sex to live together. The University of Oregon, the University of California-Berkeley, the University of California, the University of Pennsylvania and the University of California-Davis are examples of universities that allow coed housing.
At colleges that allow coed housing, people of the opposite sex are only paired with one another upon request.
The closest that Linfield has to coed housing is coed dorm halls, with each floor being separated by gender. Even in the on-campus apartments, members of the opposite gender can't live together.
Linfield should reconsider its rules on coed living, at least for the apartments. In the real world, apartments don't have rules about who can live with one another. Why should the on-campus apartments at Linfield be any different?
By the time Linfield students are allowed to live in the on-campus apartments, they are of at least junior status, which means that the majority of students living in these apartments are between the ages of 20-22. These students are adults and are old enough to decide who to live with. If that means someone of the opposite gender, then they should have that freedom.
One reason why coed housing isn't always encouraged is that two people may be in a relationship and break up, resulting in them being stuck together.
While this can be an issue for some, this doesn't seem like a valid reason to not let members of the opposite gender live together.
If a couple wants to live together, they should be allowed the option. Of course, there is always the chance that they may break up, but if they are willing to take that risk and live with each other anyway, than they should.
Moving in with a boyfriend or girlfriend is a part of growing up for many, and one can learn a lot about being in a relationship by moving in with someone.
In regard to couples living
together, homosexual couples technically already have the option to live with one another, even in the dorm rooms.
A homosexual couple living together is no different from a heterosexual couple living together. The same issues can come up, regardless of sexual orientation.
Homosexual students may feel uncomfortable living with other students of the same gender in the same way that heterosexual students may feel uncomfortable living with students of the opposite gender.
In this case, homosexual students may feel more comfortable living with a friend or friends of the opposite sex.
Besides couples living together, anyone can have a problem with a roommate. Best friends who become roommates can stop being friends.
The bottom line is that anyone can have issues with a roommate, regardless of gender. Learning how to live with another person is part of growing up.
If people of the opposite gender want to live with each other by the time they are allowed to live in the apartments, they should have that option.

Start time: 5-7pm
Location: Sternberger Artists' Center 712 Summit Avenue Greensboro NC
The Speculative Fiction writers group meets on the last Sunday of every month at the Sternberger Artist Center, 712 Summit Avenue, Greensboro. There is ample free and well-lighted parking in back of the building.
The facilitator of the Speculative Fiction genre is Liz Lustig (336) 274-0528, email@example.com. If a meeting date falls close to a holiday it is prudent to call Liz in advance to see if the meeting has been postponed to another date.
Elizabeth Lustig finds brevity challenging. She prefers writing short stories over book length manuscripts. Her list of published articles is impressive, and one should not be surprised to find the bizarre, the fantastic or the surreal in them, as in the Song of Cthulhu, Midnight Zoo and Indigenous Fiction. Liz has a multitude of talents. She has written news stories, features and book reviews for the News and Record, is a former editor of the UNC-G literary magazine, Corraddi, and has been an entrepreneur, owning Northstate Graphics and publishing the Northstate Reader. "The most important thing to do, to get better," she advises, "is to read. So, when I can't write, I read. I read mostly short fiction — all genres."

Andrew Bynum's knee draining 'worked', will play for certain in Game Five
Some good news in that unlike last time the swelling did not return almost immediately after the procedure, and that Andrew doesn't expect it to return until 'after the game'. Also, thankfully the procedure didn't have any complications or cause a fracture. However the Lakers, particularly Phil, still need to heavily monitor Bynum's minutes in Game 5, as from there on out there's only one days' rest between games and Andrew Bynum will most certainly be needed in Games 6 and 7 - Los Angeles can't afford to lose him to swelling. Even with Bynum's presence, Odom needs to seriously step it up.

Perfect Home Base while visiting SF and Bay Area
The house and location was FANTASTIC! A block away was a Safeway and Trader Joes. The beach is two blocks away. Rooms are huge, the upstairs bathroom is beautifully renovated. This was a great place for us to use as home base while visiting a myriad of family in Berkeley, Oakland, and Alameda. We would usually start our mornings with coffee on the front porch, then end our day with cocktails on the front porch. We were able to have family and friends over a couple times, which was a nice change for us. Usually we are stuck in a tiny rental with no space. Rebecca was easy to communicate with and I would absolutely recommend this house to all my friends and family.
Great location
We stayed in Hawken's Nest for 7 days - a Danish family with 3 kids (8, 14 & 17). The appartment was the perfect solution for us. Well maintained, clean and had lots of space. Great with a fully equipped kitchen - and very nice living room (the TV was old and blurry though). The bedrooms were very nice too - and our kids looooved the fancy showers! The location of the appartment was just perfect - very charming neighborhood and very close (walking distance) to grocery stores, shops, cafés, restaurants, movie teater etc. And very easy access to transportation. We took a bus, just around the corner, directly to SF almost every day, took approx 30 min. We spent 7 days in Alameda/San Francisco without a car - and it was not a problem at all. The owner was very helpful and very easy to get hold of. We definitely recommend this appartment to other families with kids.

Candlelight vigil held for anniversary of Syrian uprising
3:00pm Wednesday 19th March 2014 in News By Kathryn Snowdon, Senior Reporter
About 20 people gathered in Watford town centre for a candlelight vigil to mark the third anniversary of the uprising in Syria.
Watford Amnesty International organised the event, which ran from 7.30pm to 8.30pm, on the steps by St Mary's Square, in the High Street.
The vigil was one of many Amnesty events across the country, with the main aim being to focus on the plight of thousands civilians trapped in besieged areas of Syria, many of whom who have little food, water or medicine.
It was organised as a way of putting pressure on the international community to ensure humanitarian aid gets to the people in that region.

They all seem to be able to afford plenty of bullets, and the argument appears mainly to be between rebels like the islamic front, who believe in jihad, and the government who are supported by hezbollah, who believe in jihad.
In fact the country is divided into around 14 major groups, most of whom want a jihad, or 'Holy War'. One group has ditched all pretence and called themselves simply 'the jihadis', which at least means you know where you stand.
So as cruel as is sounds, and possibly is, I'll not be throwing any money in that particular direction.

John Dowdle says...
The Saudis were originally principal funders and munitions suppliers to the "opposition", though they now seem to have realised that funding Al Qaeda-affiliated groups like the Al Nusra Front is not a terribly smart thing to do. They recently downgraded Prince bin Sultan from his role of promoting terrorist groups in Syria.
The Saudis have also fallen out with the Qataris, who continue to support jihadist fighters in Syria and who have continued to support Muslim Brotherhood members from Egypt and elsewhere in south west Asia.
There are no "good" or "bad" guys in Syria; only huge numbers of innocent victims of violence and uncertainty.
Syrian refugees inside and outside the country should be supported. Young children are dying from malnutrition and preventable diseases due to lack of any healthcare in many parts of Syria.
I don't know how this will end up and just how much blowback we will see as a result of the stupidity of the US and British governments providing support and assistance to takfiri fighters in Syria.
Like 9/11 for the USA, these events could well come back to haunt many of us in the UK.
What is truly bizarre is to see Israel backing jihadist groups like the Al Nusra Front in the Golan Heights. Mind you, they have form on this as they were the ones who helped to create Hamas as an alternative to Fatah in Palestine. Israel too may come to rue their duplicity and stupidity.

Here is some info that the MSM and UK Government is not telling you:
'The former French Minister of Foreign Affairs appeared in aTV interview with the French TV Channel LPC, saying:
"I am going to tell you something. I was in England two years before the violence in Syria on other business. I met with top British officials, who confessed to me, that they were preparing something in Syria".
Dumas continued, indicating that the subversion and invasion of the Syrian Arab Republic with the help of "rebels" was primarily a British plan, while he carefully avoided implicating himself and France, saying:
"This was in Britain not in America. Britain was organizing an invasion of rebels into Syria. They even asked me, although I was no longer Minister of Foreign Affairs, if I would like to participate. Naturally, I refused, I said I am French, that does not interest me" (nsnbc June 16th 2013).
'Obama Warned on Syrian Intel:
Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity: (a high-level group of ex-US Intel people; they also warned Bush about the fake Iraqi 'WMD' intel):
MEMORANDUM FOR: The President
FROM: Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS)
SUBJECT: Is Syria a Trap?
Precedence: IMMEDIATE
'We regret to inform you that some of our former co-workers are telling us, categorically, that contrary to the claims of your administration, the most reliable intelligence shows that Bashar al-Assad was NOT responsible for the chemical incident that killed and injured Syrian civilians on August 21, and that British intelligence officials also know this. In writing this brief report, we choose to assume that you have not been fully informed because your advisers decided to afford you the opportunity for what is commonly known as "plausible denial."
Re the gassing of civilians in Ghouta:
''..All observers have noted the high proportion of children among the
victims. The United States has counted 426, or more than a third. Some
observers, but neither those of the US nor their French counterparts,
were intrigued to find that victims were almost all of the same age and
they had no families to cry over them. Stranger still, the gas would
have killed children and adult men, but would have spared women.
The wide distribution of satellite channel images of victims allowed
Alawite families near Latakia to recognize their children who had been
abducted two weeks prior by the "rebels." This identification was long
in coming because there are few survivors of the massacre by the allies
of the United States, the United Kingdom and France in loyalist
villages where more than a thousand bodies of civilians were discovered
in mass graves...' (Voltaire Net 7th September 2013).
Clark says he was told the following in 2001 (ten YEARS before Syrian armed insurgency and mercenary invasions kicked off):
''We're going to take out 7 countries in 5 years: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon,
Libya, Somalia, Sudan & Iran':
Video interview with 4* General (ret.) Wesley Clark (Democracy Now March 2nd 2007)
'Jihadists, not Assad, apparently behind reported chemical attack in Syria' (Haaretz March 24th 2013).
There is much, much more, but that should give you a good idea that we in the West are not getting truthful information from our governments or Main Stream Media.
Regarding it seeming surprising that Israel backs 'Jihadis', you could do worse than read IJAN's little booklet, 'Israel's Worldwide Role In Repression'; they have backed such widely divergent groups as Apartheid South Africa, Pinochet's Chile, the Argentine Junta, Guatemal, El Salvador, both sides in Sri Lanka, to name a few. They now back the openly Fascist Ukraine 'authorities'. Saudi and Qatar are strange countries to spread 'Democracy'; they would do well to address their own countries.
Despiter all the evidence, my own MP refuses to bring the issues I raised with Parliament, saying he did not want to get involved with 'Conspiracy Theories'; but as you can see, I did not raise 'theories', but gave direct quotes from high-level international people and newspaper reports, as well as videod interviews.
The best way to help with the Syrian civilians would be to ensure the mercenaries and arms shipments were stopped from flooding over the neighbouring countries borders, which could be done very easily, if the Western world wished; but instead, they aim to increase the mercenaries and arms, to enable southern Syria to 'seccede', thus creating a 'safe' border for Israel.
I hope people bring these issues to the attention of the Vigilers (if you know any of them), who doubtless have good intentions.

Beginning December 3, Stripes Convenience Stores will kick off its fifth annual March of Dimes cut-out campaign, encouraging its customers to make a small donation that will have a big impact. By donating at least $1 for a March of Dimes paper cut-out to hang in-store, people can help fund programs that allow moms to have healthy, full-term pregnancies and stronger, healthier babies.

I knew Troy was hurt worse than the Steelers were letting on in the playoffs. Turns out, his Achillies was injured. This explains his being a non factor in the Super Bowl and the playoffs.
I read that the Steelers were out in force at Wisconsin's pro day and that Kugler worked out Carimi, Moffit and their center. Of course, the Steelers would be interested in Carimi, some of our mockers have mentioned him, but what about Moffit? Can anyone tell us about him and the possibility of the Steeelers selecting him in the later rounds?
Here's a question for all you big brained mock drafters: What about John Clay in the middle rounds? He slimmed down to 233 for his pro day (Down from 270 against TCU in the bowl game). We, as Steelers fans, are always looking for the large back in the mold of Jerome, could this guy be a candidate?
All this information came from the same piece at SI.com. In said piece, Don Banks also talked about the fact that the Hated Patriots won't draft a player represented by Tom Condonbecause he was Ben Watson's agent and he gave the Hated Patriots a hard time in negotiations. This goes with what I've always thought: You have to be a sucker to be a Patriot. They are always talking players into taking less than market value contracts, as do the Steelers, but the difference is, the Steelers still end up against the cap, the Hated Patriots are way under it. I think the Steelers do it to make sure all their players get a fair wage, I think the Hated Patriots do it to save money at the players expense. I don't think they care about their players anywhere like the Rooneys do. So anyway, if you have an agent who is going to get you a fair deal, the Hated Patriots don't want you.
I was reading James Walker the other day and he had a little article about the Bengals'quarterback busts, with Carson Palmer being the only exception as of late. I think it is time to label the organization a quarterback killer. Consider this, the steelers drafted Lawrence Timmons in the first round and he didn't start until his third year. And now he is a beast. Would he have been considered a bust on other teams and given up on too early? I think one of the qualities I see in Tomlin is that he does not give up on potential unless he absolutely has to. The Steelersseem to understand that developing a player is a process and that some players seem to take longer to get going. I think the Bengals and other teams don't understand this as well as being poor at developing players past what they walk in the door with.
This leads me to Sean Kugler. What are his capabilities when it comes to developing offensive linemen? I've seen a lot of coments in mock drafts about drafting a lineman who needs finishing and letting Kugler "Coach him up". It is good to have a line coach we all have confidence in, but how good is Kugler? And, if he is really good, why not make Spaith (SP?) a tackle? And, if the Steelers were not able to get a great offensive lineman in the draft, what are the chances the line sees marked improvement in Kugler's second year using the same cast?
Then there's Carnell Lake, very intriguing. I think he has as much potential for bust as success. I mean, he really only has one year of coaching under his belt, albeit a good year. I am curious as to why he quit what seemed to be a good job? But I am excited to have him. He is like a first round draft pick on the coaching staff. Expectations are high, the future is unknown.
Also seen: Mike Tomlin at the University of Miami's pro day. Can you say Brandon Harris? How long has it been since we drafted a shutdown corner in the first? Or, how long has it been since a corner met expectation for the Steelers, excluding Ike? Anyone?
Here is a nice look at secondary prospects:
Interesting what is said about Dowling, who is ranked 9th overall. Interesting about Moore too.
Go here to see Walterfootball.com's multiple round mock draft, as well as their 2012 mock draft:
What, Seaton Hall and Steelers, no 2012 mock draft? Slacker.
Somebody is delusional if they think those two teams will be in the Super Bowl next year! Sure, at the beginning of the year, those two are going to be in the Super Bowl every year, but at the end of the year? Not! You would think the professional writers would catch on sometime.
Today is the last day of the extended CBA. I wonder if Vegas has odds on the NFLPA and the NFL getting a deal done? Or, extending the deadline yet again? I bet they can't get a deal done, but they extend the deadline. Pure guess.
At this point, I'm thoroughly confused as to who to be rooting for. The owners include the Rooneys and I should be rooting for them, but they also include Kraft and Jones and I don't want to root for them. The Players Union, kind of the same. But, further than that, is the eighteen game season just a bargaining chip? Are the owners really suffering (Relative term - they own football teams for Gods sake) under the burden of infrastructure debt? What do football teams really profit in a year? How does the business model apply to football? I learned, once upon a time, labor costs should be around 75% of costs. Is that true in the NFL, where the players were getting around 60% of income? How does this all work, does anyone know, or is this one of those life mysteries that can never be answered?
That's all fo today, I think.

On CSS preprocessors
Over the past couple of years, I've become a huge fan of Sass. It's really the only way I write CSS now, and frankly, if anyone tried to make me write plain ol' CSS I'd probably knee them straight in the taint.
But CSS preprocessors like Sass and LESS aren't for everyone. At least not yet. There's still a lot of resistance to them from the community. In fact, I resisted them for a long time, myself (here's an old post from Nathan Borror's blog where I outwardly hated on Sass). When you're very comfortable with something, like many of us are with CSS, it's hard to switch to doing it a different way.More
How I shut down comment spam on this site
In the past, I've only allowed comments on recent blog posts, not older ones. Because I didn't blog for the longest time, I had no recent blogs posts, which meant I got no comments (or comment spam). When I re-launched JeffCroft.com recently and started writing again, I actually started getting comments again (thanks, guys!). Of course, I also started getting comment spam again. Like, a ton of it. On average, I was getting about 10 comment spam posts per hour.
Frustrated, I went to my standby from the good 'ol days, Akismet. I quickly found that it wasn't working for me. It was letting through most of the spam and also preventing a lot of ham from being posted. After a tweet on the matter, Mike Davidson pointed me down a path that has worked beautifully for two weeks now — not a single comment spam post.More

This ain't your Mama's Internets
Sometimes I feel like our community (that of standards-oriented web professionals) prefers to talk about what we do in the most simplistic way possible — the way we built websites many years ago. In fact, most of us don't actually build websites like this at all, and those on the cutting edge of modern web development have a process that looks almost nothing like what we talk about.
I took the time to outline the workflows at play:More

Identifying the same content on multiple services
As the social web has grown, we find ourselves, more and more, cross-posting content to different service. For example, when I post a photo to Instagram, I often cross-post it to Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, and Flickr. In the process of developing this latest version of JeffCroft.com (which pulls in my content from several social networks), I found myself wishing there were a way to identify the same content in multiple places.
Each place that photo goes adds some metadata to it. I wanted to collect all of this metadata and display the photo as one item on JeffCroft.com that, for example, included both how many Flickr comments the photo got and how many Instragram likes it got — and include links to this piece of content on all the networks it exists on.More

What it means to be "responsive"
Over the past couple of years, I've been tagged with a reputation of being somehow an opponent to the technique Ethan Marcotte coined "Responsive Web Design" in his seminal A List Apart article of the same name. Ethan defines Responsive Web Design as a technique that incorporates fluid grids, flexible images, and media queries to deliver experiences that accommodate today's multi-device world, and he has vigorously defended his brand name against any suggestions that there are other ways (besides fluid grids, flexible images, and media queries) to achieve the same effective result.More

Alleged NBA basketball player Marko Jaric brought his fiancee Adriana Lima with him to the ESPYs last night, and it's easy to see why a gorgeous Brazilian lingerie model would fall for him. How could any woman say no to such a handsome fellow? That thin, stringy hair! The close-set piggy eyes! The slow-growing hint of mustache and soul patch — why, it's like he's an adolescent pirate! Throw in his 8.3 points per game for NBA powerhouse Minnesota Timberwolves (and now the Grizzlies), and you've got what may very well be the perfect man. I admit, I'm a little jealous of Adriana. What a lucky gal.
