White Sox-Giants Preview
Chicago White Sox at San Francisco Giants
- The White Sox lost, 4-2, in Seattle on Sunday, and have now dropped seven of their last nine games overall. Chicago was 33-33 and just 2.5 games out of first place in the AL Central entering play on June 12, but are 23-30 since (fourth worst record in the AL during that span).
- San Francisco was swept by the Royals in Kansas City over the weekend, and has dropped four straight games overall by a combined score of 19-7. The Giants are just 20-35 (.364) in their last 55 games -- third worst in MLB since June 9.
- Including two victories earlier this season at U.S. Cellular Field, the White Sox have defeated the Giants five straight times -- tied with the Royals for the longest active winning streak against San Francisco. Chicago swept three from San Francisco in these two clubs' only all-time series at AT&T Park in 2008.
- Chris Sale allowed just two runs at home last Wednesday against the Rangers, but was saddled with his second setback of the season when the Sox couldn't muster a single run until he left the game after six innings. Dating to August 17 last season, Sale is 4-0 with a 1.92 ERA in his last nine road starts.
- Ryan Vogelsong is 2-0 with a 1.20 ERA in two August outings, both of which were on the road (at Mets and at Brewers). Vogelsong, who will be facing the White Sox for the first time in his career tonight, is 0-5 with a 4.46 ERA in his last six starts at AT&T Park (2-1, 2.15 ERA in first six home starts of 2014).
- Adam Dunn went 2-for-4 on Sunday, snapping his season-long five-game hitless streak in the process. Dunn is batting .429 (12-for-29) with four home runs and 10 RBI in his last seven games against the Giants.

By JEFF MEZYDLO
(AP) -- Jake Peavy is doing all he can to end the longest winless stretch of his otherwise solid 13-year career.
Perhaps facing a former team he's fared well against will help.
Winless since late April, Peavy looks to snap a career-high five-start skid and help the San Francisco Giants avoid a sixth straight defeat Wednesday against the visiting Chicago White Sox.
Peavy (0-3, 4.82 ERA) is 0-12 with a 5.25 ERA in 18 starts since beating Toronto on April 25 with Boston for his only victory in 23 outings this season.
He received an average 2.76 runs of support while going 1-9 with a 4.72 ERA in 20 starts for the Red Sox, and six total while on the mound during his three with San Francisco (62-57). The right-hander gave up three runs and nine hits in 5 2-3 innings of a 3-1 loss at Milwaukee on Thursday.
"I've got to do more," Peavy told MLB's official website. "This entails making better pitches in crucial situations, because I can't give any more than I've given."
Peavy has looked strong while allowing three runs and eight hits in 13 innings to go 1-0 in two starts against the White Sox since they traded him to Boston at the 2013 trade deadline. He gave up a homer to Adam Dunn, two other hits, struck out eight and walked four in six innings of a 2-1 loss at Chicago on April 15.
After rallying with two runs in the ninth to force extra innings Tuesday, the Giants fell 3-2 in 10 to the White Sox.
A loser in 13 of 18 and six of seven at home, San Fransisco has totaled nine runs during the five-game slide. The Giants, who dropped a season-high six in a row twice this season, are six games back of the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West.
They've also lost five straight interleague games, and are 1-9 against the AL since winning their first six this season. The Giants have lost six consecutive contests against the White Sox (57-63), including all four at home in the series.
After being stymied for eight innings by Chicago ace Chris Sale on Tuesday, San Francisco could be in for another difficult task when Jose Quintana (6-8, 3.04 ERA) faces the club for the first time.
The left-hander is 3-1 with a 1.82 ERA in his last 10 starts, but that loss came Friday when he allowed all four runs - two earned - in a fifth inning he never finished during a 4-1 defeat at Seattle.
Dunn, who hit a two-run homer in the first inning Tuesday, is 3 for 7 in his last two games after going 0 for 19 in his previous five.
Half of his six hits in 32 at-bats against Peavy have left the park.
Michael Morse has faced Quintana the most of any Giant, going 1 for 6 with two strikeouts. Morse, however, is batting .353 in his last five games.
Brandon Crawford drove in the tying run with a single Tuesday for his third hit in 28 at-bats.

Trial set for Michigan man who shot woman on porchJanuary 15, 2014 @ 8:44 am
DETROIT (AP) - A June trial is scheduled for a Detroit-area man charged with second-degree murder after shooting a young woman on his porch.
Theodore Wafer was arraigned Wednesday in Wayne County Circuit Court about a month after a judge in another court found probable cause to send him to trial. A not guilty plea was entered. His trial is scheduled June 2 and Judge Qiana Lillard expects it to take two weeks.
Wafer shot and killed 19-year-old Renisha McBride through his screen door before dawn Nov. 2. He says he feared for his safety at his Dearborn Heights home.
Earlier McBride had smashed her car into a parked car about a half-mile away in Detroit. Witnesses say she was injured but walked away. Her autopsy revealed a very high blood-alcohol level.

Austin House Rental Photos and Description
Serene 2 bedroom 1 bath, with a great city view in our fastest growing area.
Welcome to Hilltop Hideaway, your place to getaway before, after or between big days/nights in our fair city.
From the moment you walk up the steps of your large front porch and get a nice look at the lovely blend of your neighbors' friendly homes and the towering silhouettes of the surrounding buildings, you get a sense of the comfort of being home.
If it's raining out, or on days when you feel like staying in, take advantage of your cable network on the 36-inch HD television or your in-house movie selection. If you're not in the movie mood, try out your playstation with games included. Or, play a game of cards with the gang. The choice is yours, because it's all here.
Your lovely master bedroom is a perfect place for both rest and/or work alike. With a large comfy king bed, it's perfect for sleeping in before a long day or cozying up after a long afternoon. Your full-size, stand-alone mirror/cabinet is perfect for prepping yourself to arrive in style at your important events. And lastly, your desk is there because not everyday is play day.
Your second bedroom is equally comfortable, equipped with two twin beds. And (like the master bedroom as well), it has a dock for playing your media with built-in alarm clock. Of course, you have your own closet and chest of drawers, and plenty of pillows. The only thing missing is you.
Your kitchen is stocked with nearly everything you'll need to prepare a lovely meal. Beginning with your gas stove and oven, pots, pans, cooking utensils and serving dishes, and spilling over to plates, knives forks and even paper towels, you won't need much else for preparing dinner. And, for morning pick-me-ups, or general use, your blender, toaster, spices, coffee grinder, coffee maker and local coffee bean are on standby as well. Your quaint circular dining table is also nearby, where you can choose to dine together, or spread out and 'watch the big game' instead.
Your ambient restroom with frosted glass (giving you both privacy and sunshine) is a shower/bath combo, to meet your needs and desires. With lots of room to spread out your things, a large mirror and cabinet space, this restroom leaves almost nothing to chance. To reinforce that, an assortment of towels, tissues, make-up pads and soaps are there for you to use.
Lastly, come relax on the deck out back. Your grill, picnic table, and comfortable seating are there to be taken advantage of.

Marine Ospreys Will Get 360-Degree Gun
ARLINGTON, Va. - It can fly like an airplane, hover like a helicopter, and soon it will be able to spew rounds like Schwarzenegger.
The Marine Corps' MV-22 Osprey will get a minigun that can fire in all directions, said James Darcy, a spokesman for the Osprey at Naval Air Systems Command.
The Osprey already has a machine gun in the rear of the aircraft, but with the minigun, it would become the only Marine transport helicopter in use with a gun that can fire forward, Darcy said.
The Corps has the option to buy 12 gun systems for Ospreys under a contract with BAE Systems and U.S. Special Operations Command, Darcy said.
Darcy deferred questions on how many the Corps plans to buy and when they will install the guns to the Corps, but a Corps spokesman did not respond by deadline Friday.
The 7.62 mm minigun will go in the rear of the aircraft, while a separate turret with cameras will allow a controller inside the Osprey to see targets, Darcy said.
The weapon system's computer will take into account the speed and position of the aircraft to determine how much the gunner has to lead the target in order to hit it, he said.
Darcy said the gun will also have software to make sure the minigun doesn't shoot off the Osprey's propellers when the aircraft is in airplane mode.
However, the gun will most likely be used more often when the Osprey is in helicopter mode, he said.
The minigun will fire about 3,000 rounds per minute and have a maximum range of about 1,000 meters, said Dave Adamiak, of BAE Systems.
The major factor in determining what weapon with which to fit the Osprey was size limitation, he said.
The entire system needed to fit into two holes in the aircraft's floor, each known as a "hell hole," which is used to attach cables to external cargo, such as a Humvee, Adamiak explained.
Weapon systems such as the .50-caliber machine gun were simply too big to fit in the space available, he said.
The weapon system weighs between 700 and 800 pounds, meaning the Osprey will have two to three fewer seats for troops, Adamiak said.
He also said the weapon system is an interim solution for both the Corps and SOCOM's needs.

Hi, my name is Rob. I'm glad you have visited our website. I'm the Pastor of Student Ministries here at Osterville Baptist Church. I also serve in various other roles. In 2010, I came to Osterville Baptist with a passion to see young people follow Jesus Christ in committed discipleship.
This passion is much the same today. Only, I can say it has increased to consider all ages of the Church. Through faithful discipleship, adults and youth lead a most pleasing life to God.
I am married to my lovely wife Katie, since 2006, and we have three children—Lexi, Zac and Isaac. Our ambition as a family is to use our gifts, passions, and abilities to further Christ's kingdom on this Earth. Personally, we are glad to do this work at Osterville Baptist.
If you are looking for a church home, look no further! Osterville truly is a place where people—babies to seniors—can find the Word preached, discipleship, prayer, and, one of our big words, family. We are a bunch of changed lives who are changing lives in turn, all by the power of Jesus!
I received a B.S. from Marshall University. Then, felt called to Moody Bible Institute in Chicago to pursue an M.Div degree in pastoral studies.

Anti-Resonant Compensation of Tweeter Frequency Response Peaks
A general method is presented for smoothing high frequency response peaks present in many commercially available tweeters. Typical response peaks well above the mechanical resonance frequency of the driver are caused by a combination of diffraction, diaphragm geometry and breakup, and a secondary mechanical resonance. The resulting peak in the far field pressure response is compensated with an appropriate antiresonant network across the driver terminals. Results of an actual application are presented where a +5dB peak at 13kHz is reduced +1dB with the antiresonant compensator.

ISS toilet spares stowed and good to go
Relief is at hand for the cross-legged ISS crew in the form of spares for the clapped-out Russian ASU toilet, which have been stowed aboard Space Shuttle Discovery due to blast off tomorrow. Technician loading ISS toilet spares onto Discovery The parts (seen here during loading), including a pump, will hopefully allow …
Bet they'll...
... be relieved.
Coat Please.
Fingers (and legs) crossed that it works.
Mines the one with the toilet roll in the pocket.
Weather report
Lets hope the launch isn't postponed due to golden rain.
Coat? Please, its the whiffy one with dubious looking stains, thanks.
Good to go...
Lets hope that nothing on the shuttle has crapped out this time. They could be left waiting a wee while if any problems arise.
This sounds . . .
. . . . like a big job for NASA. Glad the mission hasn't been poo-poohed by the top brass.
Coat? Mine's the one with the slide-rule in the pocket.
Oh dear
The question "who did the floater?" just takes on a whole new life.
What's the betting that when they unpack it there's a 25p seal missing?
"Sorry, guv, got to pop down the suppliers', back in three months."
In Soviet spacecraft...
...you do not take the p1ss out of toilet, toilet takes the p1ss out of you.
The thing is..
From what I understand, they think the problem is with the pump, and did in fact have spare pumps on board, two of them.
Whenever they fitted one of the spares, they failed after initial start up.
The key spare being sent up is another pump, but this time from a different manufacturing batch.
This seems a bit strange to me, even if the batch was faulty, the first one onboard seemed to work fine for a long time, I suspect there's something else wrong causing the pumps to blow, so if all they do is put in the fourth pump and it blows up, well then their really in deep sh <SLAM>

This would have made a lousy sequel to 'The Right Stuff'.

Mine's the one with a pocket full of DulcoEase.
I think you have that backwards
TinTin in Space
"Hey Snowy! The Space Station, it smells just like Paris!"
AC because I still enjoy going there.
A second toilet is to be installed later this year.
Costing a mere $19 million.
Mine's the one with the solid gold toilet roll holder in the pocket..
Fame at last?
So there's an orbiting laboratory named after Kibo?
Oh! The Humanity!

Morse Watchmans Inc. has introduced the new KeyWatcher Illuminated System. The redesigned system offers more storage and convenience with illuminated slots to make it easier to find the proper keys. The new design occupies less wall space and keys can be returned to any location. To use the system, each key is attached to a patented smart key that creates an electronic link between the key and the cabinet. Keys remain securely locked in the cabinet until the proper PIN is entered. The system locates the right key and signals it with a red light. Only that key is released, and the system records who removed it and when. Overdue keys, an open door, or misuse of the keypad will trigger an alarm and record the event in the log file.

"I have offers from South Carolina, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Florida, and Auburn," said Joe Blue. "I am also hearing from LSU, Penn State, Clemson, Georgia, North Carolina, and N.C. State. I think LSU and N.C. State are close to offering.''
The 6-foot, 230-pound linebacker plans to take some visits this fall.
"I am going to South Carolina and Clemson," he said. "I could also head to Georgia Tech, N.C. State, Virginia Tech, LSU, and I'm going to try to make it to game at Alabama."
Although several programs are recruiting him, one coach has really made an impression on the talented linebacker.
"I really like Coach (Shawn) Elliot at South Carolina," said Blue. "He is a cool guy and keeps me laughing. He is reminds of my high school coach position coach. Off the field, he is a nice guy, but on the field he is all business. I like that about him and he seems like a straightforward guy.
Blue is a prospect whose stock will continue to rise. He had a great sophomore campaign, but look for him to be even better this fall. Last season, Blue had 115 tackles, six sacks, and two forced fumbles. He also plays running back for the Wildcats in goal-line situations and had 15 touchdowns. Blue bench presses 315 pounds, sqauts 450, and runs the 40-yard dash in 4.6 seconds.

Sparks Cleanup Effort
POSTED: Friday, September 17, 2010 - 11:31am
UPDATED: Friday, September 17, 2010 - 8:04pm
Tires, furniture and whatever trash people want to dump can be found littered throughout the Sparks area.
This weekend Katherine palafox from Keep El Paso Beautiful and a group of volunteers will head to Sparks for their third anti-illegal dumping effort.
So far they've cleared about 4500 hundred tires and 335 tons of trash.
The money for the cleanup came from a state environmental fund.
Palafox chose to use the money in Sparks after researching several areas that have problems with illegal dumping.
She says the dumping here is less removed from the community.
Volunteers who'd like to help can show up at the Sparks Community Center Saturday morning at 7:30.
Comments News Comments
i think those people in that area are responsible for all the trash dumping . NO matter how many times the area is cleaned it is always going to be a problem , i live in the agua dulce area and i see all the illegal dumping going on by the people in this area it looks like a land fill. alot of this people are mexicans with no respect for our city .

Here's a fun and easy way to enjoy see your artistic friends, enjoy some delicious treats, and get some gift-making done in the process. First, choose easy gifts to make with a group.
For some prolific quilt artists, inspiration just seems to flow. But I can guarantee you that everyone--even artists who churn out art quilts left and right--eventually experiences a creative block.
Whether you want to use up bits of this and that in your studio, experiment with a new supply or technique, practice your free-motion stitching, or you're just looking for something fun to quilt in a day, fabric postcards make great small quilting projects.
During the time when I was regularly creating prayer flags, I made a series with tiny paper tags attached. On the tag I glued words cut from old books--little phrases that fit the intention of the flag.
Sometimes, machine quilting plays a supporting role to color, fabric, and surface design on a quilt. Other times, free-motion quilting is the star.
Because the theme of the October/November 2013 issue of Quilting Arts Magazine
is "Artists Give Back," we asked contributors what they do to give back
to their communities. Here's a selection of their answers:
Last Tuesday at our staff's weekly show & tell circle, our newest colleague, Stitch
magazine Assistant Editor Abby Kaufman, showed us a small quilt she's
working on. We were all very impressed with the project, especially as
she is quilting it by hand.
When you're looking for a quick sewing project for your home or a gift, a pillow is the perfect solution. Whether you make a simple pillow cover from scratch or purchase a plain one, you can add a personal creative touch with a variety of embellishment techniques.
A quilt that is going to be used and washed needs a proper binding to keep it together. But with quilt art
that hangs on a wall (such as mini-quilts) or is meant for other
artistic purposes (such as artist trading cards, inchies, etc.), your
options are wide open.
When you make a quilt, at some point you will have to consider the quilt binding. You may opt for an elaborate binding that makes an impact on the overall design, a simple and subtle binding, or no binding at all.
My mother used to say to me, "Patience is a virtue." And I used to respond, "Why?" I am not a naturally patient person, and while I now understand the value of this virtue, I still like to skip to the "fun parts" whenever possible.
Our foremothers knew how to make a quilt using only what they had, from scraps of fabric to natural dyes. But, quilt making the frugal and eco-friendly way was easier for them:
Judging by the comments on the Quilting Daily Facebook page, a lot of you received fabric and new quilting gadgets for Christmas—perhaps even a new sewing machine? If you're like me, you're now itching to use those new goodies in quilting projects.
When making quilt art, whether you're creating artist trading cards (ATCs), mini quilts, or a larger wall quilt, there are certain tricks that can help you achieve a balanced and pleasing design.
Right now, I'm looking for quick quilting projects to make. Running through the file of quilting ideas I keep in my head, I remembered these sweet little free-motion stitched stockings by Diane Rusin Doran from Quilting Arts Gifts 2011.

Juliette Anich picks apples in Brunswick. Photo: Rodger Cummins
PICKED from the branch, fresh fruit always tastes better. But it's all the sweeter when plucked for free from a neighbourhood tree.
At least that's the ideology behind the city's growing legion of self-described ''urban foragers'' and ''urban hunter-gatherers'', who say it's smarter, greener and cheaper than buying supermarket fruit that's well-travelled and aged in cold storage.
These groups are using the internet to circulate maps showing where free fruit is ripe for the plucking, prompting concerns from some lawyers and councils, which say that the practice is illegal, even if fruit hangs over public land.
Curiosity first drove Juliette Anich to map ''feral fruit'' in Brunswick streets, then came frustration at the abundance of figs, pears, mandarins and apples left to ripen and rot.
''We let fruit go to waste in our backyards but hop in the car to drive down to a supermarket to buy an apple,'' she said.
About two years ago, Ms Anich created a Google-based map showing her finds, mainly around the city's inner north. Thanks to generations of European immigrants, who grew their own food as a way of life and a link to the past, there was plenty to pick.
''I quickly realised there were a lot of other people out there mapping. There's this whole community,'' she said.
Drawing on the work of earlier foraging groups such as Feral Fruit Trees Melbourne and a growing cohort of contributors, Ms Anich spent 18 months creating an open-source website that identified hundreds of fruit trees and wild herbs in Melbourne, Ballarat, Sydney, Newcastle, Darwin and New Zealand.
The project, Urban Food Maps, eventually evolved into her PhD at RMIT's school of architecture and design, and founding the civic agriculture group, Sharing Abundance.
Urban foragers have long argued that fruit on branches or bushes spreading past property lines could be legally taken. Councils and legal experts have challenged this, arguing that picking any fruit from a tree located on private property without permission is illegal and could constitute theft - including fruit that has fallen onto a public area.
''A tree growing on private property actually does belong to the home owner and that includes any branches or fruits of that tree. Just because it crosses the fence line it doesn't mean it becomes public property,'' said property law expert Anna Lin, a senior associate at Brian Ward & Partners.
The Victorian Law Handbook also notes that anything cut off a neighbour's tree belongs to that neighbour and should be returned.
Ms Anich said she had always assumed that fruit growing over public land was free to all, and continues to endorse foraging. ''Why not take the fruit if it's on our [public] property, being the pavement or laneway or whatever it happens to be?''
The Urban Food Maps site cautions against trespassing, although Ms Anich argues that this strict interpretation of property law is wasteful.
She advises asking home owners if people can enter their property to pick produce. ''People are often grateful that someone actually wants the fruit,'' she said. ''[But] there is a diplomacy that's required. There's a neighbourhood etiquette that needs to be engaged in … This isn't something to get people offside.''
When one pick yielded 16.2 kilograms of mandarins from a single tree in one hour, Ms Anich kept only what she needed - and enough to bake a ''thank you'' cake for the owners. She donated the rest to a local community group.
Most of the three kilograms of apples picked for the picture with this story were given to a Brunswick school.
Ms Anich also collects rotten fruit in and around trees to help control odours and fruit fly.
The PhD project will eventually see a database of trees that volunteers can harvest - after seeking the permission of home owners - with the bounty shared between pickers, owners, community groups, hospitals and schools.
''The notion of what's mine, what's yours, and what's ours is something the project definitely explores. Some people get it; some people really struggle with it,'' she said.

Though built in 1893 to manufacture textiles, the Columbia Mills' storied stone halls now weave tapestries of knowledge with exhibits on everything from lasers and space travel to South Carolina's role in the Civil War. Boasting accolades by Columbia Metropolitan magazine and the Smithsonian, South Carolina State Museum devotes each of its four floors and part of its fourth dimension to art, cultural history, natural history, and science and technology represented by more than 70,000 artifacts.
Through a series of permanent exhibits, curators lead visitors on a cultural and geological voyage. Guests stroll through years of traditional and contemporary art by state artists, marvel at a 43-foot white shark display and full dinosaur skeletons, or cast imaginations back in exhibits on turn-of-the-century transportation, laser technology, and aviation. The museum also excavates the surrounding landscape to present 14,000 years of local culture in Native American tools and colonial-era lifestyle items.
Five galleries also house changing exhibits featuring assemblages of artifacts from Civil War–era Charleston or 300 years of American-made telescopes, each carefully monitored to ensure they contain just the right amount of science. While museum staffers frequently rotate their exhibits, they also host traveling displays and send others on the road through the Traveling Exhibits Program. Various education displays such as interactive children's labs, living-history reenactments, and lectures from visiting scholars further enrich all-ages visitors.
When visitors step into one of the South's largest children's museums, there's one thought that commonly crosses their minds: That's a big kid. Waiting to greet them is a 40-foot-tall statue of EDDIE, a reinforced, molded-plastic boy who weighs 17.6 tons and—like almost everything at EdVenture Children's Museum—is ready for kids to explore. After they've climbed inside his heart, up to his brain, and slid down his intestines—all while learning about their own bodies—kids race to explore the rest of the museum's more than 350 hands-on activities contained within nine exhibit galleries. As a testament to its attractions, EdVenture Children's Museum received the 2011 National Medal for Museum and Library Service, an honor given to only 10 libraries and museums in the nation.
Past Eddie, EdVenture's permanent exhibits include the World of Work, where kids climb aboard a John Deere tractor, take the helm of a 24-foot fire truck, and learn the value of money by spending Eddie Bucks on groceries or flooding the market to undermine the local economy. At the Aha Factory, wee ones recycle everyday items into paper snowflakes, pipe-cleaner butterflies, and glitter-encrusted egg cartons. Children 3 and younger, meanwhile, can explore the My Backyard exhibit, an age-appropriate haven of soft surfaces.
At its two Columbia locations, Plex Indoor Sports aims to provide complete indoor recreation with a full-size ice rink, full-size roller-skating rink, and two turf fields. Both facilities offer after-school programs providing access to soccer, football, and lacrosse programs, ensuring that children learn the proper techniques required to work toward goals and play safely. Total-fitness classes are also available throughout the week, highlighting invigorating of aerobic exercises. The Sandhills location hosts a roller-skating rink, and the Irmo location houses an NHL regulation-sized ice rink with public skate times throughout the week. Meanwhile, in Jumpin Jacks Park visitors bound on 11 extreme inflatables, scale basketball court, or enjoy tasty treats at a full-service cafe. The complex also hosts birthday parties and fuel the fun with HiWire, a 19,000 square-foot trampoline park with a dodgeball stadium and foam pits.
Mankind was never meant to breathe underwater, but the instructors at Columbia Scuba defy such limitations, helping students of all sorts—from small children to disabled adults—explore the forbidden depths. As young as 8, kids can start training with PADI Bubblemaker classes, using equipment suited to their smaller size, and swimmers of all ages can join Discover Scuba sessions to learn the basics of diving in the safety of a pool. For students looking to become certified divers, open-water diving and specialty diving courses test practical skills in unique environments, such as submerged shipwrecks filled with sunken coupons, whereas trips to the Florida springs or Cozumel convey the majestic experience of communing up close with marine wildlife.
Havens Framemakers & Gallery traces its lineage back to 1968, when Robert Havens set up a shop full of handmade, custom-tailored frames. He passed the business to his daughter Betsy in 1985, and she, like a confused track-and-field competitor, handed the torch to current owner Jackie Vazquez. Jackie draws from the Havens family's tradition of expert craftsmanship and her own 20-year stint at the company to surround diplomas, artwork, and keepsakes with a selection of more than 5,000 mouldings collected from a range of vendors. Gilded and hand-carved pieces adorn the gallery's seven walls, surrounding experienced designers who set to work enshrining 3-D objects in shadowboxes or protecting old photographs and celebrity potato-chip look-alikes within conservation frames.
Certified professional photographer Gene Taylor has fine-tuned his artistic vision while working in photojournalism and portrait photography for more than 30 years. During classes at Your Photo Safari, Gene introduces students to the photographic arts and the workings of DSLR cameras. Sessions begin in classroom settings, allowing students to get acquainted with camera basics as well as advanced features such as setting white balance and reducing blur. After learning how to navigate the multiple settings and buttons on their digital cameras, students traipse to area gardens to explore the natural world through their lenses. The hands-on experience allows students to take home artfully composed shots of plants bathed in natural light or trees planking over riverbanks in a bid for Internet fame.

20 Tricks to Speed Up Your Metabolism
Whether you're trying to shed some lbs or just stay fit, these tricks to increase your metabolism from nutritionist and author of Bread is the Devil Heather Bauer, RD,CDN, will help you reach the finish line even faster.
By Heather Bauer, RD,CDN
Destress Yourself
Stress raises the amount of cortisol in your body. Cortisol is a hormone that tells the body to hold onto fat in case of a stressful situation (think more natural disaster-level stress, not a bad day at work-level). Experiment with yoga or meditation as ways to lower stress levels and clear your mind.

The new 2012 BMW M5 produces an impressive 560 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque, but for companies like AC Schnitzer, the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 presents only a starting point. The German tuning company unveiled the new ACS5 Sport here at the Geneva Motor Show this week, managing to squeeze and additional 60 hp and 81 lb-ft from the forced-induction motor.
The ASC5 Sport isn't all about horsepower, though. AC Schnitzer has also fitted the Bimmer with a new sport suspension system, 21-inch Type IV forged wheels and a slick aerodynamic kit including a carbon fiber front spoiler, chrome front grille, rear spoiler and a carbon fiber diffuser. The exterior is finished off with an attractive matte blue paint. Inside, the car features trim and stitching to match the exterior. You can see the AC Schnitzer ACS5 Sport in detail in the high-res gallery above.

Earth Day 2011
May 3, 2011
The 22nd of April 2011 was not only Good Friday in the United Kingdom (UK), but was also Earth Day. To celebrate this wonderful occasion, the Global Citizen Corps (GCC) group in Scotland held a film festival with the "Take One Action" film group at Gorgie City Farm in Edinburgh. It was a fantastic day, with many people coming to see the film "Dirt!" — which highlights the issue of modern agriculture and how it is damaging our precious earth.
During the film, GCC leaders facilitated thought-provoking discussions with members of the audience. The film managed to bring a very serious message across in an interesting manner, such as the adorable story of the hummingbird, which demonstrated how even a small creature like the hummingbird can make a big difference.
It proved how even little actions can make a big difference, which was this year's global Earth Day theme: A Billion Acts of Green. Thanks to the "Take One Action" film group, who promote such influential films on a regular basis across the UK, GCC leaders were able to bring this issue to the centre of the community.
Along with the film, there were several other activities and sources of information which people could use to further inform themselves on environmental issues. Children could learn how to plant seeds and were given information sheets on how to keep their plant alive. This would encourage people to start growing their own food and plants, which is not only a way of beautifying a garden, but also learning about self-sufficiency and increasing biodiversity and thus helping the soil.
There was also an opportunity for children to get their hands dirty and feel different types of soil, which showed them how dirt comes in various forms and is as diverse as we are. Information cards were also available, which gave some examples of things that people can do at home to help the environment, such as avoiding using plastic shopping bags and taking shorter showers.
These little things that we can do at home reflect the message of this year's theme of taking small actions to make a difference. People who were inspired by the event could also sign a pledge card, saying what they will do at home in order to make a difference, which will hopefully make people more aware of the role they can play in combating climate change.
The event was held at Gorgie City Farm, which was the perfect venue as it promotes everything the film was about. It is a small farm in the middle of Edinburgh, with some animals and self-grown food. It allows people to see what a farm is actually like and teaches people the importance of buying locally grown produce rather than imported food from the supermarket.
All in all, the event was a great success and everyone enjoyed themselves. The GCC leaders gained some experience on how to run an event and make a film and how to present serious issues in an interactive way. The event was fun and informative for both the visitors to the farm, and the GCC leaders involved.

Kevin, as someone who has designed and constructed custom draperies for years, I'm always looking for something distinct, creative and unique when it comes to making something for my home--this an excellent example of that! The linen is a perfect choice for this design--wonderful body. And I love the details--covered buttons, contracting/outlining welt, and then the perfect finishing touch--that beautifully designed monogram! After all, that's why they call them "custom draperies", isn't it? Thanks for sharing & showing off your talents!

I need to completely remove all trace of a pci device as i suspect its lingering remenants are causing a conflict with another card which causes it to blue screen.
Ive tried searching for the individual driver files and deleting them but when i plug the old card in, in device manager it still knows what type of card it is and its name but it just comes up with the yellow ! as it cant install it properly, probably because i delted some of the river files.
So can someone tell me how i can completely remove all referance to the old device so its is completely clear of it?

What can I say, food was good and service through the drive thru was good. But it's still your typical Taco Bueno.
This was my first Taco Bueno and I love it. Love the little Mexi-Dips. Family was very pleased with all selections. Staff was friendly. Restaurant very clean.
Taco Bueno has great mexican food fast! The orders have been correct and they're speedy quick in filling your order. Now if we could teach some of these folks how to navigate the 2 drive thru windows . . . . ;)
This place is ALWAYS busy. Why? They crank out some good, well priced food. With the amount of business they do, you'd think the staff would be a little unfriendly, but I've found them to be often pleasant! The food is sometimes inconsistent but always tasty.
I have nothing but positives for Taco Bueno. It's my favorite restauruant.
This *used* to be the best Taco Bueno anywhere - hand's down.
New management a few years ago seems to have lost that edge, but recently it is back to at least above average for a Taco Bueno.
They are pretty fascist about hair length on the employees, so the better staff is now to be found at the Taco...
