Adrian Phoenix's Top 10 Top 10 Shows on My DVR
I enjoy watching good TV, love checking out new shows, and with DVR technology, it's sooooo easy to record, well, everything. The other day, I was looking at my recorded programming and realized I would never have the time to watch each show, not if I planned to write on a regular basis and not if I hoped to avoid becoming a true couch potato. LOL.
It also dawned on me that there were shows that I watched immediately, eager to see what happens next and to who, and that there were shows I put off until I had nothing else to watch. No real excitement there, just a sense of duty. "Well, I've come this far, might as well finish the season." What the . . . ? Why am I watching shows that don't excite me? Why am I watching shows that I don't look forward to?
A damned good question. Time is too short. Too valuable. So I started ruthlessly winnowing timers. Revolution-gone. Vampire Diaries-gone (to be fair, I used to enjoy this one, but it faded during the last season). Cold Justice-gone (we hardly knew ye). Super Fun Night-gone (one episode). Defiance-gone (although it had good moments, just not good enough). And so many more. I dropped from 79 timers to 34.
Listed below are the top ten shows on my DVR, the shows that excite me, the shows that I can't wait to watch. I hope you'll share your top ten too.
Adrian Phoenix
I live in Springfield, Oregon in a zombie-free home (except when meeting deadlines) with three cats, Amiga, Keats, and Emily and have two sons and three grandchildren and two granddogs. I'm the author of The Maker's Song and Hoodoo series and short stories (the short stuff usually under Adrian Nikolas Phoenix).
I love to read and see movies, enjoy hiking with my granddog, Cielo, (immortalized in Black Dust Mambo and Black Heart Loa), and hanging out with friends. I also love creepy things and yearn to go on a paranormal investigation one day.

Two winners will get their choice from Adrian Phoenix's backlist
Available on September 24, 2013 by Pocket
Even as Dante Baptiste's identity as both True Blood and Fallen ripples throughout New Orleans, his powers are expanding in surprising, devastating directions. Kidnapped, drugged, and lost to his brutal past, the vampire wavers between sanity and breakdown at the hands of his torturers.
Forsaking the FBI she once loved, Heather Wallace has likewise fallen into malevolent hands. As she struggles to reunite with Dante, men of hate and government evil will try to keep them apart. Even as their teammates frantically search for the pair, dark forces continue to gather against the young vampire–and the fates of mortals, nightkind, and the Fallen rest on him regaining control of his shattered psyche before he becomes the terrible, omnipotent Great Destroyer.

I don't have a DVR but if I did my top shows would be Doctor Who, Once Upon a Time, Supernatural (though I'm nowhere near up to the recent seasons :P) and Agents of SHIELD (though I haven't actually seen an episode yet)! I don't watch all that much new TV actually..
Nothing. I cleared it the other day. There was a bunch of *Storage Wars* episodes on there. My parents set that, I believe.
I honestly don't watch much TV or movies.
My DVR has lots of Haven, Supernatural, any and every ghost show. Thanks for the giveaway I love the Makers Song Series!
once upon a time, mad men, american horror story
Agents of SHIELD, Duck Dynasty, Longmire, Haven, NCIS, NCIS Los Angeles, and many, many more.
I don't have a DVR, but I can record shows on my computer! Many times, I'll watch one thing and record another. The last couple of weeks, I've recorded Sleepy Hollow, Vampire Diaries, The Originals, and Once Upon a Time.
No DVR but plenty of stuff I want to watch Supernatural, Agents of Shield. Thanks for sharing!
ANTM is a guilty pleasure of mine as well – I get slack from the BF about watching it all the time.
No DVR, and i just watch what on television.
We just lost our DVR and I miss it so much. I always had ANTM, all the singing shows (The Voice, X-Factor, American Idol), Grimm, Once Upon a Time, The Simpsons, The Glades, and probably more that I don't want to admit to.
Thanks so much for having me and thanks to each of you for dropping by!
I don't do DVR, but I have my must-not-miss shows. Supernatural and Justified are on there as are True Blood and Game of Thrones. My guilty pleasure: The Bachelor/Bachelorette. Yeah, I just confessed it online.
No DVR, but Hulu is a wonderful thing! I generally use it to watch reality-show marathons (like Masterchef) once the season ends.
Sleepy Hollow, Law Order SVU, Beauty and the Beast, The Dome. Thanks for the giveaway.
I don't have a DVR, but this is what I watch, or try to watch. If not I catch later on Internet. Sleepy Hallow, Supernatural, Betrayal, Brooklyn 99, Sons of Anarchy, True Blood, & Game of Thrones.
I love Supernatural, Criminal Minds, Game of Thrones and Avatar : The Legend of Korra.
I love Supernatural! I wish I had time to watch some of the new shows coming out. I would like to see Once Upon a Time, the Alice in Wonderland show that's coming out and the Witches of East End. I love the paranormal and find it fascinating. Thanks for the giveaway chance!
I record on my DVR Bones, Castle, Sleepy Hollow, Agents of Sheild, How I Met Your Mother, NCIS, Cold Justice, Face Off, Rizzoli & Isles, Criminal Minds, Big Bang Theory, Crazy Ones & Cities of the Underworld. Sadly, my DVR won't hold much and I can't keep some episodes to re-watch.
no dvr i just watch the episodes when they are on tv with some preferences yes but to be honest this yeaérs i did prefer to read than staying in front of teh tv ( i love " les enquêtes de Murdoch", "criminal minds" "hawai 5-0″ but if i miss once it's really nothing^^
thank you a lot for the international giveaway!
I also love Hawaii Five-O, been a fan of Alex O'Loughlin forever. Also on my DVR is Revolution, Sleepy Hollow, The Voice and Face-off.
A better question would be 'what isn't on your dvr?' Shorter list. I have a ton of favorite shows, but so far I think the best premiere from this fall was Scandal. It's ridonkulous. And if I ever went out on a Friday night like everyone else and wasn't home to watch Haven, I would dvr that- I love that show and rave about it to anyone that will listen.
No DVR and with a new baby I'm not watching much Really enjoyed Hannibal and hoping that will be back!
Wow! I have so many on my DVR!
I have had to whittle down my shows as well. I was spending time watching shows when all I wanted to do was read.
I am currently watching The Tomorrow People. Interesting so far.
One of my favorites are Beauty and the Beast!
Here are a few more of the shows that I watch (when I get time) ~ Big Bang Theory, Dads, Hawaii Five-0, Arrow, Chicago Fire, Haven, New Girl, The Mindy Project and Sleepy Hollow. That is just some. Lol. I cannot wait for The Walking Dead to start this week!!
I have SOA on my list to watch, but can't decide if I want to watch it now or wait until 50 Shades comes out so that I have a fresh view of the actor playing Christina Grey. Lol.
Thank you for sharing and for the fabulous giveaway!
trb0917 at gmail dot com
Oh my gosh, I have a ton of stuff on my DVR, quite a few episodes of Bones, Warehouse 13, Haven and Burn Notice that I have to catch up on. Current episodes of Castle, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., NCIS, NCIS LA, Chicago Fire, Grey's Anatomy, Elementary, Revolution, and Sleepy Hollow, to name just a few. Just watched Tomorrow People tonight, it's a definite keeper.
I'm actually watching SUPERNATURAL right now as I knit.
I don't have a DVR so I HULU just to catch up on shows that air at the same time as the other show. Sleepy Hollow does aired the same episode twice on TV. It will be a problem when GRIMM starts on October 25.
That's so cool, Mary!
Thanks so much to each of you for participating! Appreciate it! I wish y'all the best of luck in the giveaway!
Echoing the 'don't have one…' but what I'm watching at the moment is Agents of SHIELD and Gruen Planet – and naturally, as I only watch two things, they're on the same night in the same time slot.
My DVR gets quite the workout as well. Supernatural, Nashville, Revenge, Sleepy Hollow, Hart of Dixie, Teen Wolf, Longmire, Scandal, Haven, Glee, Graceland, and Marvel's Agents of Shield are my must watch shows.
My DVD has a variety of shows: The Voice, X-Factor, Dancing with the Stars as well as Gray's Anatomy, Castle, Blacklist, Once Upon a Time, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, Criminal Minds, and Sleepy Hollow. Dracula will be on the list once it starts its season. IF I could get the CW, it would also have Arrow, Nikita, The Vampire Diaries, the Originals, and Reign (when it comes out).
I have Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, The Middle and Modern Family on my DVR. Love the series. It's such a great mix of dark and sexy.
American Horror Story Coven, The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Sleepy Hollow, and Witches of East End.
Thanks for the chance to win!
The list is very long Criminal Minds, NCIS, NCIS LA, Castle, Sherlock Holems, Downton Abbey, Elementary, The Vampire Diaries, The Originals… some of the few
On my DVR there is Haven and grim at the moment.
Thank you for the giveaway.
I meant 'there are', sorry.
I don't watch as much tv as I used to, but I have several crime shows such as 48 hours, dateline, Lt. Joe Kenda: homicide Hunter. Oh, and Buffy, The Vampire Killer. Love several of the tv shows on your list like Hawaii Five-O. Need to check out the others.
Love The Maker's Song series.
I DVD the shows Sleepy Hollow, Once Upon A Time In Wonderland, and Supernatural. I try to catch things when they air but am not usually that lucky.
No DVR, and i just watch what on television.
Sleepy Hollow, American Horror Story, Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother.
Sherlock, the BBC version of course! Also have The Borgias, Castle, etc

Global retailers gear up for Indian entry
Anil Sasi
New Delhi , Nov. 20
THOUGH the FDI policy in the retail sector remains unclear, overseas players are bracing themselves for an entry and are firming up plans for the Indian market.
Close on the heels of the Wal-Mart Chief's visit to India earlier this year, UK-based retailer Tesco's CEO, Mr Terry Leahy, is slated to make his first visit to the country next week.
This visit gains significance, considering that Tesco Plc has cut by half its sourcing of Chinese textiles, since the European Union implemented quotas on shipments from China in June, which limited growth in imports from the country.
Tesco is looking at alternatives and is expected to increase sourcing from Indian textile firms. Mother Care UK Ltd, another retailer with a strong European presence, is also gearing up to enter the country in a franchisee tie-up with Shopper's Stop with plans to set up 40 outlets.
Gap Inc, one of the world's largest speciality retailers, is in the process of big-ticket recruitments for its India office, including personnel for global compliance finance, accounting, HR, technical services and product assessment.
Other retailers, who have in the past established a presence here, also seem to be waiting in the wings. UK's Marks & Spencer Group and Dubai-based Lifestyle International have set up shop in India through franchisee ventures, while Germany's Metro and South Africa's Shoprite Holdings have entered the wholesale arena.
A number of UK retailers, including Next, Debenhams and Body Shop, are said to be considering an Indian foray by next year. However, pressure from the Left parties has kept the Government from opening up the retail sector. In April, the Government had said that it was trying to build a consensus on the issue.
Currently, Indian retailing mostly takes place in small mom-and-pop shops and makeshift bazaars.
Organised retail makes up a mere three per cent, or Rs 28,000 crore of the overall industry, but its share is forecast to grow to 8-10 per cent in the next five years.

AIRPOD 59 | NAILMay 20, 2014
AIRPOD 59 | Nail by Airdrop Records
RSS FEED | DIRECT DOWNLOAD | via iTUNES
Our collaboration with Nail started slightly over a year ago, with the «BPMs Vol.1 EP».
In the last months, Nail went on to sign a series of 12″s on labels like Robsoul, or Shabby Doll. He also saw one of his works be included on a Mosaic split EP, while remixing for labels like One Records or Bass Culture, with each one of his new production excelling its predecessor.
We are glad to present his first appearance on the AirPod podcast series. This set was recorded during his latest appearance in Berlin, at the infamous Globus, on March 8th.
AD 025 | Various Artists | Airdrop CinqMay 7, 2014
Artists: Various
A1. Psynote – P_FunkyNote
Airdrop (belatedly) celebrates its fifth anniversary with a bang!
Cinq – meaning 'five' in the native tongue of its French founders – features artists from every chapter of the Airdrop story to date alongside some new additions and special guests.
Airdrop's first record was released in March 2008. The Giraffe EP (AD001) launched Soul Clap into the uppermost strata of house music as well as initiating a longstanding relationship between the label and the producers of Argentina through the input of Franco Cinelli.
Twenty-five records later, following countless label showcases around the world and the establishment of various sub-labels – Aux-Rec for all things re-issued and bootlegged, Greener curated by Andres Zacco and Groovear dedicated to the work of Leonel Castillo – it's high time to take stock of the journey so far and plan for the future to come.
Cinq sits comfortably between these two outlooks. The exclusive and previously unreleased music cut on the two vinyls map out Airdrop's future while Paulo's mixed selection on the included CD offers a comprehensive recap of the label group's catalogue highlights.
Two vinyls, a mixed CD, a special sticker packed in a beautiful hand-stamped sleeve,
equals Cinq.

Artist: Psynote
A1. 808 Nightmare
Back to back with Andres Zacco's latest release, comes the 'Voltage Control' EP – the debut of Franco Cinelli's new project: Psynote. Adopting a decidedly more electronic slant than for his eponymous productions, Cinelli presents here a selection of pieces that instantly seems to be coming from his most intimate sessions.
GREENER 005 | ANDRES ZACCO | THE BOX EPDecember 10, 2013
Artist: Andres Zacco
A1. Box
Following Spanish producer J.C's debut 12", label head Andres Zacco is back on his own Greener imprint, with a new format for this fifth release. Breaking from the usual two-tracker we got used to receive through Greener, here are four original numbers from the Argentine talent – a bare minimum to represent Zacco's versatility.

ADDIG023 | FRITZ & LANG | BREAKING GLASS EPNovember 15, 2013
Artist: Fritz & Lang
1. Breaking Glass (Original Mix)
GET IT ON iTUNES / AMAZON
French-Argentine duo Fritz & Lang are back on Airdrop Records, following their debut release 'Crash' and sophomore EP 'Confessions'.
Fritz & Lang is the fresh collaboration between French synth maestro Francois Touin and Argentine musician Nico Stofenmacher. 'Breaking Glass' is a three song EP developed over the last twelve months, exposing the latest devises and moods found in their eccentric whip of influences.
Dark and slightly subversive, Fritz & Lang manage to keep things sexy, from the dub-heavy "Breaking Glass" to the smooth machine purr of "No Soul".
Argentine doyen Leonel Castillo contributes with a straight 909-mix, taking the title track for a ride on the floor.
AD 024 | ANDRES ZACCO | NOVASOR EPAugust 13, 2013
Artist: Andres Zacco
The Novasor EP is already Andres Zacco's fourth appearance on Airdrop Records and boy are we proud to bring you a record we hold so dear in our hearts.
Curated with uttermost care, here are three numbers in pure Zacco tradition. Produced during different times over the last eighteen months, the Novasor EP is perfectly representative of Zacco's unique sound, transcending the borders between House and Techno, blending the genres into one whole.

"Why's this so good?" No. 26: Moehringer KO's a mystery
by Tommy Tomlinson | January 3, 2012
The hell with my lede. Let's start with his:
I'm sitting in a hotel room in Columbus, Ohio, waiting for a call from a man who doesn't trust me, hoping he'll have answers about a man I don't trust, which may clear the name of a man no one gives a damn about.
That's how J.R. Moehringer begins "Resurrecting the Champ," the greatest newspaper story ever written, and if you're not hooked by the time the period slams that sentence shut, God knows why you're here.
I've read this story at least 100 times since it appeared in the L.A. Times Magazine* in 1997, and my bones still ache with envy. Moehringer has command of all the storyteller's tools here – rhythm, pacing, metaphor – and I've spent many an hour taking the story apart like an old radio.
But what I love about this story the most is a simple thing that shows up in far too few nonfiction narratives:
That lede echoes Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett and all those noir movies of the '40s (Fred MacMurray in "Double Indemnity": I killed him for money. And for a woman. And I didn't get the money. And I didn't get the woman.)
Moehringer gets a tip: A former heavyweight contender named Bob Satterfield – known for jackhammer punches and a tinfoil chin – is walking the streets of Santa Ana, homeless. Moehringer goes looking for him, almost gives up, then sees an old man, toothless and filthy – but with hands so big they hang from his sides like bowling balls. Moehringer approaches him.
"You're Bob Satterfield, aren't you?" I said.
"Battlin' Bob Satterfield!" he said, delighted at being recognized.
And then what happens is…
Well, here's the problem. I can't tell you.
Every great mystery has twists and turns. There are at least three places in this story where I still drop the printout (or now, the laptop) in disbelief. To paraphrase that great literary figure Rowdy Roddy Piper, just when you think you've got all the answers, the story changes the questions.
To explain the whole thing, I'd need spoiler alerts. When was the last time you read a story that required spoiler alerts?
I'll tell you this much: To find out just who Bob Satterfield is, and to find out how that man ended up on the Santa Ana streets, Moehringer has to navigate false clues and blind alleys and several people who might or might not be lying to him. There's a key conversation with Jake LaMotta (the boxer De Niro played in "Raging Bull"). There's a meeting in that hotel in Columbus. There are things Moehringer wants to see that he doesn't. There are things he doesn't want to see that he does.
Moehringer is a main character, right there in the first person, dealing with (among other things) major daddy issues. One thing I've wondered over the years is if the story would work without him in it. I've decided he has to be in there – above all, this is a detective story, and he's the gumshoe who bumbles through the story, trying to solve the mystery.
By God, he solves it.
And then – as in the very best mysteries – there's one more scene. We're back on the California streets, our two main characters are talking…
And the very last line of the story hits you like a left hook to the gut.
It's the best last line I know of. Every time I read the story, it stays with me for days.
Journalists often work on different kinds of mysteries. We're great at doing the forensics on a failed campaign and pinpointing just where it went sour. We're great at dissecting a game-winning TD and showing exactly how the receiver got open.
But those are mysteries where the reader already knows the ending – we're just revealing the why and the how. The best mysteries start with a what – or, more to the point, a WHAT!?! – and take readers from there to places they'd never expect.
It's easier when you can make stuff up – whoever created "Matlock" owns half of Malibu by now. But to pull it off in nonfiction – to find the story, track it down and write it – that's jumping off the high dive.
J.R. Moehringer has done all right for himself. He won a Pulitzer. He wrote a well-loved memoir. He collaborated on a best-seller – Andre Agassi's autobiography.
But in my mind, he's the guy who chased a tip, found a mystery, and ended up with the greatest newspaper story of all time.
They made a movie out of "Resurrecting the Champ," starring Josh Hartnett and Samuel L. Jackson. I've never watched it. It's not as good as the newspaper story. It can't possibly be.
*Yeah, maybe it's technically a magazine story – it does run nearly 12,000 words. But to me, if it comes bundled with the comics and the coupons, it's a newspaper story.
Tommy Tomlinson (@tommytomlinson) is a storyteller for The Charlotte Observer, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, and a former Nieman Fellow.

I was never very interested in boxing, but the story transcedes this topic and becomes a captivating story about people, their lives, dreams and dignity. Your article made me read it and I thank you for that.

Although benzodiazepines, buspirone, tricyclic antidepressants, or SSRIs are the preferred medications for most anxiety disorders, occasionally, for specific reasons, one of the following medications may be prescribed: antipsychotic medications, antihistamines (such as Atarax, Vistaril, and others), and beta-blockers such as propranolol (Inderal, Inderide). Today, atypical antipsychotics (such as Seroquel), anticonvulsants (such as Neurontin) may also be prescribed for anxiety. Propanediols such as meprobamate (Equanil) were commonly prescribed prior to the introduction of the benzodiazepines, but today rarely are used. Likewise, barbiturates such as phenobarbital are usually no longer prescribed for anxiety disorders.
For more information:
- Benzodiazepines - the most-used medications

September 11th, 2012Beer and travel
(…or 'How to lose pub quizzes and alienate local people')
Appleby and it's border of police tape falls behind us, but the sun is relentless. It pours from an open sky, an azure coloured two fingers raised up to the sun cream at the bottom of my pack. And the sunglasses that sit forgotten in my man drawer at home. The man drawer on which sits one of the three copies of OL31 that should be guiding us towards Dufton.
Sitting a few miles north of Appleby, Dufton's loudest residents are the songbirds that flutter and sing each evening as they perform their nesting rituals and celebrate another day in Cumbrian paradise. We're in no rush as we amble forwards – the hostel won't open until after five o'clock, the sun is out, and The Stag Inn is open 'til late. What could go wrong?
Mud is what could go wrong.
Under oppressive heat (not helped by hastily repacked rucksacks) we precipitate rather than perspire, and it's not pretty. In the distance Pennine hills glimmer like a Saharan horizon rather than the northern countryside. Two pints to lubricate the short walk soon seem like a bad idea…
But despite the rousing display of solar prowess it's not long before our pleasant lane becomes a narrow bog of brown sludge stretching from the fences that hem us in. Despite the hottest day of the year so far, the long trail ahead is cloaked in a slimy foot-deep puddle of danger.
"Some walk in the park this turned out to be!"
Taunts directed at my father – whose idea this whole thing was – are short lived. Mid-sentence I navigate a rocky outcrop sticking up from the mud like a mischevious iceberg, an iceberg hiding a sea of stones and pain and soggy brown shorts should I hit the deck.
And promptly I lose balance, spin under the weight of my pack and frantically grab thin air with one hand, whilst conducting a wild balancing action with the other that would have an orchestra dropping their instruments. Flapping and wobbling, my hand meets a solitary wafer thin branch and somehow I piroutte to safety. Phew.
And then I realise my right shoulder doesn't seem to have stopped moving. That's because my right foot seems to be sinking beneath me into a world of mud. Another branch comes to the rescue but this one is decorated with thorns the size of pint glasses. I look up, still sinking, just as John wobbles along the hedgerow cursing the red liquid also trickling down his arm.
It couldn't get much worse, right? There's no way that the powers that be would punish us by making us circumnavigate impassable mud flats lined with sharp as nails bramble in dehydrating sunshine and then throw us delirious into a steep sided forest of blood sucking insects clearly starved and awaiting their first feed of the summer? No, there's obviously no-one up above because that would just be pure evil.
We're not even on the Pennine Way yet and we're caked in mud, sweat, blood and bites. I mutter something that starts with 'f' and ends in 'idiot dad' as I watch the mud rise above my ankle yet again.
But an hour later the orienteering is soon forgotten as we sip our first pint at The Stag Inn. Mud, midge and map woes are long washed away with a hot shower and a cold beer. Food barely touches the sides, cool pints of Cumbrian pale ale wipe the memories clean from view. Before long dusk fills the beer garden, the village green glints and glows in the lowering sunlight, and avian evensong is the only thing stopping us retiring for a sensible rest in preparation for tomorrow's twenty mile hike to start leg 4 of 5 proper.
"Trust you'll be in the pub quiz?" an over enthusiastic voice breaks the magical spell. Wide eyed and under the influence of buxom smiles we nod obediently and throw a clutch of pound coins towards the pint glass thrust towards us. "But don't win, eh?! The locals won't like it."
Four pints later, having navigated the thorny inquisition of Dufton's premier quiz master, that voice pierces the calm again.
"Pennine Wanderers? Pennine WAN-DER-ER-ERS please?!"
Isn't that us?!
"You're in the tie break lovelies If you win you get to pick next weeks quiz master And you'll win a round of beer for the night There's just one question It's DEAD easy Immediate answer please No dilly dallying The other teams already answered so I'll crack straight on… How many bones in the human body?"Tags: appleby, cumbria, dufton, pennine way, pub quiz
August 30th, 2012Beer and travel
We practically roll down the sharp hill into Appleby, and with only a few miles stroll to tomorrow's starting point at Dufton, buoyed by sunshine and the freedom of not being office-bound on a Thursday afternoon, we simultaneously chirp "Pub?".
(The question mark completely unnecessary).
Soon a pint of lager in a glass of condensation glistens in my hand – a pint of smooth looks gloomy in John's. Someone hit the on switch of summer and our backpacks stare back at using the afternoon heat, looking heavier than when they were frugally packed last night.
On the benches outside the Hare & Hounds red-faced locals soak up sunshine with Stellas. From our shady window seat we opt against sweating our energy away before we've even started walking, instead studying the walls which bustle with a sepia tinted history of Appleby Fair in photographs.
In a sun faded golden frame a young man stares defiantly at anyone who'll look, legs akimbo on a well worked filly, bedraggled after stomping through the river. Each year the gypsy and travelling community swarm to this little town on the edge of Cumbria, and next week they come again. From Ireland to Estonia caravans roll along the A and B roads towards Westmorland. Since the nineteenth century Appleby has been a Romany mecca, though horses have been washed and traded here since a Royal Charter of 1685.
A little later, and only a little tipsy, we cross the very same river and tread its banks, taking in the calm before next week's storm. 'Do Not Park' police tape, only just yellow, loops over hedges and gates that straddle the winding road towards the outskirts, towards Fair Hill, the temporary home to the revellers. A man scrawls 'No Parking' on his driveway in chalk, looks up and celebrates the cloudless sky, and pulls plant pots closer to his porch.
We leave the quiet of Appleby discussing our jobs, our recent adventures and the route ahead. The drinkers at the Hare & Hounds raise a glass to sweaty brows and discuss fairs gone by, and the spiritual diaspora that rumbles slowly towards them.Tags: appleby, cumbria, hare & hounds, pennine way, romany, stella
June 14th, 2012Beer Reviews, Stout & Porter
That's less alcohol by volume than a bottle of Cobra washed down with a mild chicken korma.
So where does the boozy aroma of a complex strong stout come from?
Presumably Hardknott Dave had had one two many glasses of a something cosmic when he bottled this, he's confused his 4s and 9s, right?
Dark Energy pulls me in with it's deep ruby tinted complexion and lacy, spice-plumed head.
It's 9.4% I tell myself, definitely.
Then I take a few sips. They turn to gulps. Where did the strength go, has it disappeared completely?
Ebbing and flowing with wisps of berries, booze and cocoa beans it shares the weightlessness of strong imperial stouts – visibly and aromatically pungent but vapid in body.
There's a reason for the name I convince myself as the foamy promise tricks me into feeling high and dry, but then hooks me on it's fleeting astro garbage of cigar fouled chocolate tiffin.
What type of stout is this? Where do these flavours appear from? I'm confused, lost in space.
How strong is this again?Tags: cumbria, dark, hardknott
March 12th, 2012Desert Island Beers
This weeks Desert Island Beers features our first brewster, Hayley Barton of Cumbrian Legendary Ales. Born in Gloucestershire, Hayley says she learned to drink real ale in the Old Spot Inn, in Dursley during weekends with friends whilst studying for her A-levels and around the same time was also very fortunate to be taken on a walking holiday to The Lakes by her best friend Tamsin & her parents Trev & Ros.
After staying in Great Langdale, Hayley says she cried all the way down the M6 during the journey home because she had enjoyed having a wonderful holiday in the best county in England so much and she vowed then that she would go back to Cumbria to live at some time in the future.
After completing a BA in Textile Design, Hayley started working behind the bar at the Kirkstile Inn, Loweswater in 2006, where Matt Webster was already brewing. Hayley says she used to sneak down into the brew room, using any excuse (usually it was to take Matt a cuppa) because she was so interested in everything going on in the Loweswater Brewery, which was no bigger than an average sized garage at that time. She started helping Matt with cleaning barrels, brewery paperwork & designing pump clips for the different beers that he was brewing exclusively for the Kirkstile bar.
Before long Hayley found herself on a brewing course & Matt taught her how to brew. It was 2008 when she brewed her first beer "Melbreak Bitter" and in 2009 she jumped at the chance of being able to brew in the purpose built Cumbrian Legendary Ales Brewery recently acquired by Roger & Helen Humphreys and where David Newham patiently showed her the ropes.
Hayley says it is an absolute delight to brew in such a fabulous location, (on the shores of Esthwaite Water) and was overwhelmed to discover that the brewery had won Champion Golden Ale of Britain at the GBBF in summer '11 with Loweswater Gold. And that she absolutely loves brewing & brewing is a lifestyle choice if you're going to do it properly.

May 13th, 2011Beer Reviews, Bitters, Cumbrian beers, Pale Ales
I'd sum up Jennings Golden Host up in two simple words: floral and biscuity. Wordsworth might roll in his grave at that crude and lazy generalisation, so let's try something a bit more prosaic…
The scene that Golden Host conjures is a spring day, the first of the year where the cool air breaks the gentle heat of the sun; arms, necks and foreheads are exposed for the first time since the leaves started to reappear on trees. Hot cookies sit on a window sill, a view perhaps overlooking Bassenthwaite or Loweswater, an iridescent shimmer on the water that heralds a yawning season, waiting to become vivacious and dominant.
There's daffodils leading up the path to the maltings; for the workers there's toasted teacakes and honey for breakfast; roughly cut brown bread and salad (dressed in herbs, perhaps even anise) for dinner; and following a rural supper of beer and bread those cookies get to fulfil their destiny.
Don't expect pomp and grandeur, or the glory of a god in the sky to shine down on you as you take your first sip – even if you are of a Romantic persuasion and this beer has you dreaming of Wordsworth and his zeal for floating clouds and crowds, nay hosts!, of daffodils, as the sun sets over the lonely vales and hills this is a simple beer of pale malt, floral hops, Fair Trade sugar and a subtle, fresh disposition.Read the rest of this entry » Tags: cumbria, daffodils, Floral, golden, jennings, wordsworth
May 12th, 2011Beer Reviews, Cumbrian beers, Ruby ales
Treacle & cocoa, cashew & pistachio, berries and toffee.
All that from hops & malt?
Perhaps there are added kisses in Geltsdale's Hops & Kisses, a Valentine's re-branding of Geltsdale's Hell Beck.
It's a red bitter and infused with dashes of all sorts, but perhaps my senses are getting the better of me. Crystal and amber malts and Fuggles and Goldings hops don't seem enough on paper to impart the luscious body imparted from these very English ingredients.
Rich toffee, hedgerow fruit, a roasted character that's hard to pin down - Hops & Kisses is deliciously down to earth yet delightfully playful.
Hops & Kisses is a smooth operator, another fine Lakeland ale.

May 12th, 2011Beer Reviews, Cumbrian beers
Yates Cumbrian Ale might not be your easiest Lakeland ale to find, but if you can find your way to Open All Hours in Keswick or Laird's Larder in Houghton, you might be able to grab a few bottles. But to add this to your summer beer roster your best bet in the North West is Booths Supermarkets.
Straight away it's different – manuka honey and lemsip perhaps the easiest descriptors of a grainy, citric and medicinal infused beer.
It's comfy, reassuring beer; a summer cough syrup combined with a mug of Horlicks; a dollop of caramel and a gentle bitterness; light in alcohol, gentle in carbonation, the beery bubbles removing any cloying stickyness and thus ensuring it's place as a beer well placed to serve a hot weather session.

May 4th, 2011Beer Reviews, Bitters, Cumbrian beers
Dent Rescewe was bought for Yorkshire month, the month of June where we planned to sample mostly Yorkshire ales and report back on our regional fare. Surreptitiously it stared back at me when I needed a beer for an unexpectedly sunny day in the garden in May, and there I saw it on the label, the address that I had neglected to check: 'Dent Brewery, Dent, Cumbria'. Cue immediate fast track to Cumbrian month!
I've been to Dent only once, on a whistle stop weekend to the North Yorkshire Dales. It's a living breathing Warburton's ad, except Land Rovers rumble and bumble (depending on the age of their reg plate) across cobbles where flat-capped knee-socked boys should be cycling home, peddling against gravity and the extra weight of bakers fresh, crusty loaves.
I'd always assumed it was a forgotten Yorkshire village, one of those quaint border settlements that nonchalantly gets on with life amidst the whims of policy makers and county councils who can't decide exactly which authority should be organising the bin rounds.Read the rest of this entry » Tags: bitter, charity, cumbria, Dent, yorkshire
April 20th, 2011Beer Reviews, Cumbrian beers, IPA
Tuesday night, two bottled bitters sunk and the quenches for thirst and flavour continue to itch away unabated.
Cue Lakeland IPA, a beer that for one moment in time justifies the beatification of hops single-handedly.
The perfect hiss released as metal hits glass and twists plastic; an aroma eager to reach a nose and knock on the door of the senses.
Soft-fleshed fruit says hello – mangoes might not be typical of Cumbria unless visiting a certain kitchenware store for a peeling device that the kitchen drawer doesn't really need, but here they add sweetness and a vibrancy missing from the evenings other contenders.
Wisps of unidentifiable flowers blend without any disharmony and it's all finished with a perfect bitterness to leave behind a craving for just a little bit more.

The yankees added Pineda, Kuroda, and Pettitte. I calculate these will pitch nearly as well as last year's returning pitchers. I think they'll allow 3.77 runs per game. This amounts to enough improvement that my first Pythag actually came out at 109 wins. 109!
Well That isn't happening. For one thing, once they clinch they'll take their foot of the gas. The truth is I think the Yanks will score more runs than last year, largely based on better years for Jeter, Tex and Arod.
So, that's it. Yanks win the AL East by a safe margin and end the regular season 102 and 60.

An engineer's review of the road above a collapsed retaining wall at an Albemarle County shopping center finds it is safe for traffic.
The wall collapsed following Sunday's heavy rains - pulling down the guard rail and pavement on the road into Gander Mountain. County planners say engineer Scott Collins checked out the site Monday and ensures the entrance road is on stable ground. He agrees to check the stability every 24 hours until repairs are made.
Developer Wendell Wood owns the property. He did not return NBC29's call for comment.

According to our Marriage Qualities Survey, being dependable is one of the top ten qualities people look for in a spouse.
When you make a promise to your spouse or say you will do something for your spouse or family and then you don't keep your word, you are letting your spouse down and hurting your marriage.
Keeping your word and following through on your promises helps to reinforce the trust that your spouse has in you. Not keeping your word tells your spouse that you simply don't care.
Tips for When You Do Not Keep Your Word or Follow Through on Your Promises
- If you decide you can't keep your promise, be honest and say so. It is important that you are up front with the reason you can't keep your word.
- If you changed your mind and don't want to keep your promise, you need to be honest with your spouse about why you think you made the promise in the first place and why you don't want to keep your word.
- If you broke a promise because you are forgetful, consider using some of the high tech ways to be reminded of things you said you would do. You can receive email alerts, popup reminders from your calendar program on your computer, and receive text or voice reminder messages on your cell phone.
You can give your spouse permission to remind you, too, with the understanding that you won't consider the reminder to be nagging.

But then their grandmother suffers from a stroke. could Janine actually Care about Claudia, not her computer? and can they actually get along?

Rugby star Cipriani works up a sweat on Clapham Common
Updated 11:41am Wednesday 19th June 2013 in News By Jamie Henderson, Chief Reporter
Rugby hunk Danny Cipriani got pulses racing on Saturday when he ran a fitness boot camp on Clapham Common.
Lucky bidders from voucher website Groupon were put through their paces during a 60-minute fitness session.
More than 800 people went online to bid for the chance to take part in the session, along with raising money for the charity to fund research into heart disease and advanced surgical techniques.
Cipriani said: "Currently only 6 per cent of men and 4 per cent of women in England do the recommended levels of exercise, this is something we need to change.
"This boot camp was the perfect way to show people how exercise is not only good for your heart but can also be great fun."
The Beach Body Beautiful Boot Camp is a joint partnership between Groupon and Heart Research UK.

Professor Brown was very accommodating to me despite her difficult quizzes and tests. She will do anything to try to support her students.
She is extremely nice and very helpful. Sometimes her projects are a little over the top, but if you work hard enough, you will do fine.
Math 114
nice lady but class is impossible. doesn't really stop to make sure everyone is caught up. dont reccomend
She is the worst teacher I have ever had. Impossible to focus. she just talks and talk without ever stopping for questions. she laughs at her own dumb joke and is as old as dust. No help and her class averages for tests is always an F. if you get her transfer out immediately.
This was my least favorite class I had this semester. The homework was usually irrelevant to what were learning and her examples were not nearly as hard as quiz/test questions. I worked hard for the grade I got and I was surprised it ended up being an A. This class is challenging to pay attention because it is extremely boring.
Very nice lady. Not easy but very helpful. Puts many notes online which helps you study. She requires work but she's very nice and helpful.
This class is so ridiculously difficult for an intro level course. Her assignments really are impossible unless you've had coding experience prior to this. She gives an assignment and doesn't completely explain how to do it until after it's due. I regret taking this course, although she is a nice woman. She doesn't give much help either.
Had some previous coding experience. Didn't help. Most ridiculous "Intro" course ever. Not only were her assignments impossible to complete using only what she had taught us, but the guidelines for them were ridiculous and they had no real-world application. Even if your program works, if you don't do it how she wants it's wrong in her eyes.
I literally took her for a week and then peaced out before add/drop week was over. She is as old as a fossil. Throughout the class students will just get up and leave because they cannot take it anymore. She seems really nice though and appeared to be better at teaching computer science when she was a substitute for my class one week.
Great teacher and very helpful. I received a 90 or higher on all of my assignments. Yes, they're specific, but easy if you simply follow her directions. I had no problem completing any of the assignments and tests/quizzes were extremely easy and specifically related to the work currently being done in class. Thumbs Up.
Took her for computer science. Worst professor ever. She's about 90 years old, dresses like nanny mcphee and put me to sleep every single class. Does not teach you anything. just writes it on the board and expects you to understand. If you're not a complete computer geek, YOU WILL NOT PASS
IF you are not good at math, do not take this class, I am not the greatest math student and her tests and homework assignments are impossible. She is very picky about how you do the work for the math problems, and in class she talks to the chalkboard instead of the class...therefore DON'T take her!
Let me open this rant with a quote "What are these machines shes talking about?" She doesn't explain stuff. Friends just get up and leave when shes not looking because its not even worth sitting through. Excel projects are completely incomprehensible. 1.8 of 5.
horrible, horrible, horrible professor. I didn't even sign up for her, there was a scheduling conflict and we ended up with her. I recommend dropping the class immeadiately if you have her. Unfortunately, I didn't and now I am stuck with a C-. She can't teach at all.
If your a math genious, then you'll love her. Other than that...drop her class no matter what. Nice lady, very bad teaching, grades poorly and dresses poorly as well.
Not a great proffessor by any means. I struggle in math to begin with but she is very hard to follow at 8:30 in the morning. I highly recommend another proffessor.
Calc I
really hard to follow at 8:30. She doesnt expalin well and most of the learning is independnet
Calc I
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boring and she isnt clear about anything, she knows her stuff but sometimes confuses herself and every1 else, o yea and on the board she writes right to left and not left to right... who knows y, if ur good in calc ull do alrite but if ur not do not take brown
The class was a joke. 8:00am with lights off and a projector running. She was never prepared for class. Spent two weeks teaching us how to check email!
Had her for both Elementary Functions and Discrete Structures, both at 8:00 am...it was a struggle not to fall asleep. Slightly odd grading system. She knows a LOT about what she's teaching, teaching style needs work. Makes leaps of logic in her proofs that are beyond my comprehension.

Keep moving forward
Reached a stage where your enterprise momentum is starting to slow? Maybe business growth has disappeared altogether? Whichever it is, don't let rot set in. Businesses development should be a continuous practice, or else you may find a young usurper taking your crown.
How did Amazon become so successful, seemingly overnight? Simple, it was born from a combination of innovation and complacency. Amazon could see trends changing whilst other more traditional retail outlets stood still, happy with the way things were. Surely the great and reputable Woolworth's should have been at the forefront of online shopping? Perhaps; had they been concentrating on their market and striving for more. Instead they seemed content sitting in the 90s whilst the rest of the world powered relentlessly forward. Now their high street shops as we knew them are mere words in the history books while Amazon moves from strength to strength and Woolworth's lag far behind in the online market.
Invariably everyone loses enthusiasm at some stage
Vivid works daily with new business concepts; when founders are at the pinnacle of excitement and motivation. Once the feeling of something new has worn off though, motivation wains. Routine kicks in. Complacency soon follows and business growth disappears. Harnessing the excitement felt during any new start-up is one often overlooked component to the source of continued growth.
A fresh outlook, a new approach plus an energetic injection of optimism and enthusiasm is often the greatest way to invigorate growth into your micro enterprise. All of which Vivid has in mass resource.

and the country grinds to an effing stop.
God help us if we lived in Russia or Northern Canada.
Done very little as
a) work has been manic
b) been redecorating the flat
So the poker has suffered. I did play the £75 (+£7.50) game on the 4th December having qualified by winning the Jolly Miller pub league. A definate experience. Picked my football coupon and made my way to the Circus.
The other seat winner, Wayne, turned up and we thought it would be good preparation to hit the Fosters lager. We decide to split all winnings 50% each. Checking my coupon at half time and 5 of the teams are at least 2 goals up and the 6th is 0-0. (Mansfield at home to Grays) We get started on the poker and its a disappointing turn out. About 55-60 were expected but 38 was all that turned up. But Circus as ever added 500 in the pot so £3,350 to be played for.
1st hand i get 36o utg and fold . Second hand i get QQ in the Big blind.
Utg limps. Button raises , i reraise. Utg folds and button reraises.
I sit there wondering what the hell to do . Am i walking into bullets or is it an AK and im racing.
Dunno whether 2nd hand or fear of being first out so i tank and then fold. He shows 1 ace but does admit to having other.
Get JJ about 20 mins later on the button. Utg raises , next to act goes all in so i fold. Another caller and we end up with a 3 way all in (although one of them was very low) AA vs QQ vs AK
Bullets hold up but i would have hit a Jack on the turn. FML !!!!
Dunno if i pissed the poker gods off but having being dealt QQ and JJ i didnt get another pair for 3 hours. But it could have been worse. Circus regular called Joe , turns up late and buys in. He joins our table and first hand is all in. KK vs KK . 4 spades on the board give the other guy the nut flush. Sick beat and quickest exit imaginable.
Mansfield drew 0-0 (missed a pen and then in injury time smacked the bar) so worthless bit of paper rather than £400. Our table breaks and i end up on the same table as a manic gambler called Osemi (sorry if wrong) He has a monster stack and is gambling for fun.
In the space of 12 mins he busts 7 players and 3 of those were in 4 hands whilst i was sat there
74o vs AK all in pre
73o vs AQ all in pre
64o vs JJ all in pre
Totally card dead and im trapped as people are raising before me and he is reraising all in every hand. Eventually with 18 left. I Figure AQ in the cut off is ahead of his range. Unfortunately Small blind reraises all in too. Loon duly calls with trash and its my AQ vs AK vs 89
25k pot for the taking and the chance to get back in but im drawing thin
672 flop looks like giving him another lucky draw but then i hit my Queen on the turn.
King on the river kicks me out though. 5.5 hours to get halfway and my footy bet down the swannie too.
I go and have a couple of pints and come back to watch the loon knocking players out quickly. We get to the next break and then we have our final 10. My 50% of Wayne is still alive but only 9 get paid. The play is so slow as no one wants to bubble. So they suggest taking £100 off the winner to give to 10th.
That seems to loosen the action and within 10 mins of the restart there are only 8 left.
We lose a couple more players and talks of a deal start. Chip leader is reluctant to deal but he slowly blows his stack and its him that leaves next.
I look at prize pool and jot some figures down at break. Wayne and another guy are chip leaders so i suggest £590 to them two. £490 to the other three and play out for £100.
Everyone agrees to that and 2 players quickly leave. With 3 fighting it out for nearly 2 hours for the final £100 everyone is knackered by the end but 10 hours after the start its over and the Jolly Miller has been well represented again with the league winner taking it all down.
I said that i would take £290 and leave £300 to Wayne and then if he won the other £100 then only fair he kept it. Thats how it panned out.
So i didnt win anything and my football betting is cursed but swapping % 's is the dogs bollow.
Won £30 on the blackjack and nice to go home and wake up with a massive profit.
Great game and well advised for anyone local to give it a go. Circus also do a £50 first Tuesday of the month game with £500 added so get yourself along.
Because of work and decorating thats about my poker lot. Didnt even make it to the Miller for the Thursday games. Will hopefully be there Boxing day though. So thats it for now. New post in the New Year for 2009 Gatsby awards so to finish i would just like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a profitable New Year.

THIS is about financial and social plight of 5,000 families of Balochistan. In 2010, for the first time in the history of the provoince, some 5,000 promising young men and women were given contract jobs as teachers by a joint venture of the federal and the Balochistan government through the historic Aghaz-i-Huqooq-i-Balochistan package. It was done with an objective to overhaul the education system of the province.
The young blood, upon getting the opportunity, left no stone unturned to ameliorate the poor educational sector. But, I regret to say, they are themselves now suffering severely as a result of the financial burdens inflicted upon them by authorities.
Although these teachers are dutiful and punctilious, they are no more motivated because being appointed in BPS 14 and 16, they are even paid a salary less than a BPS 4 employee, i.e., Rs15,000.
Furthermore, they are denied the annual pay raises, the 2011 revised pay scale amount and conveyance allowance which are paid to all other contractual employees of both the federal and the Balochistan government.
When the Huqooq Teachers Association (HTA), a platform of these young teachers, approached the authorities concerned, they put the issue in abeyance due to the two actors involved, i.e., the federal and the Balochistan government. These multifarious challenges have led the 5,000 families to a state of penury and hopelessness. The prime minister should regularise the services of these teachers.

Notes: Redmond deals with injuries
Twins bullpen is wearing thin; Tyner remembers his homer
CLEVELAND -- Mike Redmond's playing time has increased this season, so have his injuries.A player best known for his ability to take a hit and keep on playing, Redmond has survived his share of blows already this season. That includes getting hit in the head with a bat in Chicago, taking another bat to the shoulder in a game against the Royals, and even being hit by a pitch in the elbow. But an injury to the knuckle on his left middle finger has been the most problematic for the catcher this season. Redmond first injured the finger back on July 19, and it's been a nagging issue ever since. While it gets a little better at times, it's an injury that he feels will affect him the rest of the season. In instances like Monday night's game against the Indians, when the knuckle caught on one of his swings and flared up again, Redmond feels like he's back to square one with the injury. "It's just something that won't heal until I get to the offseason," Redmond said. "Then maybe we can find out if I need to do something to help it heal." Yet even with the pain, Redmond continues to play. He was behind the plate again for Tuesday's game despite the fact that the finger was taped up for most of the afternoon. Manager Ron Gardenhire said he has tried to take it a bit easier on Redmond, due to the finger issue, but with Joe Mauer's injury-plagued season, the backup catcher has been called into duty more often this year. "He comes to play," Gardenhire said of Redmond. "He knows his role and he doesn't want to miss out on the opportunities he gets to play." Redmond is on pace to set career highs in games played and at-bats. With 249 at-bats already this season, Redmond is just seven at-bats away from tying his previous high, which he reached in 2002 with the Marlins. His start behind the plate on Tuesday also marked his 75th game this season, leaving him just 14 games shy of the 82 he played in '02. The opportunity to play so much is something Redmond isn't taking for granted. Even when the finger sets him back, he said he's ready to go. And that's especially true with his team in the midst of a pennant race. "These are important games in an important series, so I'll be out there," Redmond said. Bullpen woes: One of the biggest concerns for Gardenhire is the state of his bullpen. Gardenhire is worried that fatigue has started to set in for his relievers, and it's no surprise, considering how much they have thrown in the first five games of the road trip. The bullpen has combined to throw 15 1/3 innings over that span. Many of the pitchers have thrown in back-to-back games, with some putting in even more time. Julio DePaula has pitched in three straight games, throwing a total of 4 1/3 innings. So the hope is that the rotation will step up over the final two games to limit the need of using the club's relievers. "We've thrown these guys so much," Gardenhire said. "You can't keep going to the bullpen in the fourth or fifth inning every day and expect them to survive. Otherwise you lose your bullpen, too." Memory lane: The matchup against Jake Westbrook at Jacobs Field on Tuesday night gave Jason Tyner some time to reminisce about his first home run, which came against the pitcher in this park on July 29. A little mark of where Tyner's ball hit in the visiting bullpen still remains, along with a note commemorating that it was Tyner's first in 1,220 at-bats. Both teams have had fun with the amazing stat. Westbrook even sent Tyner a ball that read, "I would have rather given up No. 756," and Tyner has it displayed at home, right next to the home run ball. But the biggest change for Tyner might be something that he will no longer see at Jacobs Field -- the line on the scoreboard with his bio, which previously had commented on his homerless streak. "It's nice to have a one in every column, just to have something there," Tyner said with a laugh. Tyner extended his season-high hit streak to 11 games in the first inning on Tuesday with a single to center. Perkins update: Glen Perkins made his third start for Double-A New Britain on Tuesday, and the results were less than ideal. The left-hander pitched three innings, giving up six earned runs on seven hits while throwing 58 pitches. He allowed two home runs in the contest and walked one while striking out three. Gardenhire said earlier on Tuesday that the team would make a decision on whether Perkins would rejoin the club following this outing.
Twins tidbits: Mauer continued his rehab program on Tuesday with no real progress reported. Gardenhire said the next big step will be when Mauer hits on the field, and so far there is no timetable for that. ... Kevin Slowey was named the Most Valuable Pitcher of the International League. He was one of just two Red Wings to be named to the postseason All-Star squad, as catcher Jose Morales also earned the honor. ... Three members of the Twins gameday operations staff were on hand for the series with the Indians to check out the Jacobs Field scoreboard. The group is gathering research for the scoreboard in the Twins' new ballpark, which is scheduled to open for the 2010 season.Down on the farm: Brian Duensing allowed just three runs over seven innings to pick up his 11th win of the season in Triple-A Rochester's 10-5 victory over Pawtucket on Monday. Denard Span tallied four hits and four RBIs in the win to raise his season average to .265. ... Double-A New Britain split its doubleheader at Binghamton, dropping Game 1, 6-5, and picking up a 6-2 win in Game 2. Trevor Plouffe went 4-for-6 with two runs scored over the two contests. ... Class A Fort Myers dropped both games of a doubleheader against Clearwater, including getting no-hit in a 2-0 loss in Game 2. Jeff Manship gave up four runs over 1 2/3 innings in the club's 9-2 Game 1 loss. Coming up: The Twins and Indians will close out their three-game series with a duel of left-handed aces on Wednesday night in a 6:05 p.m. CT start. Johan Santana and C.C. Sabathia are each looking for their 15th wins of the season in the finale.

A 77-year-old man behind the wheel of a rented Chrysler 300 smashed into a Clayton convenience store Monday morning.
Two people went to the hospital as a result of the accident at Sandhu's Gas Station and Convenience Store on Amelia Church Road.
Shattered glass marked the site of the accident.
Gustav LeGrande Baporis, 77, had pulled into the gas station with his wife in the passenger seat and accidentally rammed through the front doors and glass entryway, Clayton officials said. He and his wife were not injured but his car hit a customer inside.
Baporis hit another customer after putting the car in reverse. Both men were taken to Johnston Medical Center in Clayton with non-life threatening injuries.
Baporis, of Clayton, told police he was unfamiliar with the rental car and lost control. He will be charged with careless/reckless driving and failure to reduce speed to avoid hitting a person.

Hi all! I'm a first time poster -- but loyal Denver Stiffs follower.
I live in DC, and each year I enjoy seeing my Nuggets play (and beat up) the Wizards at the Verizon Center. I generally go on my own about a half hour before the game, hold a sign saying "looking for lower level seats" and someone inevitably gives me a ticket or sells their extra to me for $20-30.
This week, I have a conference in Denver and will have free time to attend the Nuggets-Hornets game on Friday evening.
Will my DC strategy to secure a single ticket work at the Pepsi Center?
I can't financially justify paying exorbitant rates for lower level seats (although this is a special occasion), so any advice would help. Thanks!

MCCOMB, MS (WLBT) - McComb Police are investigating a shooting death in Pike County.
Detective Shannon Sullivan says the body of 19-year-old Kevin P. Woodall Jr. was found in his apartment just before 2 p.m. Friday afternoon.
Officials say he apparently died from a gunshot wound to the left eye area. Sullivan says no arrests have been made, but Woodall's roommate has been taken in for questioning.
