Badminton without a NetPaul, · Categories: General
Robert Frost famously said that writing in Free Verse was like playing tennis with the net down. But for the past weeks, we've been swatting the birdie about with no net in sight. I don't feel all that bad about it either. Badminton, afterall, is so affected by the slightest breeze that all serious games are played indoors.
Since we lack a certain seriousness, we play to see how long we can keep a volley going, we sent the shuttlecock high into the air, we smash to birdie into each other, at least one of us tries to bounce the birdie off his racket several times before swatting the thing at his opponent. In general, we are having fun even in the wind. And we use no net.

Badminton has some India connection…oh wait I see your wikipedia link.

Longtime Liberal Talker Lynn Samuels Found Dead
Veteran radio host Lynn Samuels has died. Former 77 WABC colleague and friend, Mark Simone confirms to FishbowlNY that Samuels, uncharacteristically, missed her weekend Sirius XM show. Simone says the NYPD was called to her Manhattan home Saturday where Samuels' body was discovered. She was 69.
While no cause of death has been determined, Simone points out that she was a heavy smoker.
At the height of her WABC popularity, Simone recalls, Samuels shared a desk with Rush Limbaugh. She was his lead-in for a time from 10 a.m. to noon.
But before she blossomed on the radio, Simone got to know the opinionated Samuels in the early 1980s–and actually helped her forge a new career path.
"She used to sell the New York Post on the corner of 57th [Street] and Fifth [Avenue]," Simone tells FishbowlNY. "I would tape the man on the street interview there a few times a week. She had such a distinct voice."

How Japan Became a Leader in Disaster Preparation
March 17, 2011 by TMO
By Emily Rauhala

Just before noon on the morning of Sept. 1, 1923, a massive earthquake shook Japan's Kanto Plain, hitting the busy industrial cities of Tokyo and Yokohama. The quake leveled buildings and sent cooking stoves tumbling to the ground. Fanned by typhoon winds off Tokyo Bay, the flames spread across the flattened landscape, raining ash on evacuees.
Rumors spread that Koreans were looting and thousands were massacred in retribution. By the time the Kanto Plain stopped seething, at least 100,000 people were dead and most of the region lay in ruin. The devastation was so complete, the loss so profound, that Japan considered moving the capital.
Instead, they rebuilt — very carefully. Fire-prone, wood and brick buildings were replaced with six-story towers of concrete and steel.
Motorways were built, a subway system planned and an airport erected.
By 1935, the population rivaled that of New York and London. (See pictures of the massive earthquake that struck off the coast of Japan on March 11, 2011.) Perched on the Ring of Fire, an arc of seismic activity that encircles the Pacific Basin, Japan is one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world — but it's also one of the best equipped to handle them.
Having survived the quake of 1923, the utter the devastation of World War II and, later, in 1995, the earthquake in Kobe, the country has done more than most when it comes to disaster preparedness.
Japan is arguably the world leader in readiness. Every year since 1960, the country marks Disaster Prevention Day on Sept. 1, the anniversary of the 1923 Tokyo quake. At many Japanese schools, first-day-of-class celebrations include an evacuation drill. Even the Prime Minster participates: at this year's closing ceremony, Naoto Kan spoke about the importance of "mutual aid" in times of crisis. "I would like to ensure that the government will prepare itself for disaster, together with the people, so that it can confidently say that 'Providing is preventing,' " he said.
Japan boasts the world's most sophisticated earthquake early-warning systems. Emergency drills organized by public and private organizations work, among other things, to transport "stranded" commuters from their offices to their homes. Japan's tsunami warning service, set up in 1952, consists of 300 sensors around the archipelago, including 80 aquatic sensors that monitor seismic activity 24/7. The network is designed to predict the height, speed, location and arrival time of any tsunami heading for the Japanese coast. Tsunami safety has been a focus of coastal city planning throughout the nation. On Japan's east coast, where tsunamis frequently hit, hundreds of earthquake and tsunami proof shelters have been built. Some cities have built tsunami walls and floodgates so that the waves don't travel inland through river systems.
(Read "Japan Quake Causes Nuclear Emergency.") When disaster does hit, as it did today, Japan's buildings fare relatively well. In 1981 Japan updated its building guidelines with an eye to earthquake science. The devastating Kobe earthquake, which claimed some 5,100 lives, spurred another round of research on earthquake safety and disaster management. In 2000, the country's building codes were revised again, this time with specific requirements and mandatory checks. Even at the local level, preparedness is a priority: from 1979 to 2009, Shizuoka prefecture alone poured more than $4 billion into improving the safety of hospitals, schools and social welfare facilities. Though Japanese cities often shake, they rarely topple. "This gives me great faith in Japan's building codes," said Hong Kong University's Charles Schencking, a historian who studies earthquakes in Japan. Of course, all the preparation in the world can't stop the earth from trembling. The recent quake and the waves that followed have taken hundreds of lives and triggered tsunami warnings across Pacific. The damage is extensive and will take much time to repair. Still, whatever the extent of the death and destruction, it would be much worse if not for Japan's hard-earned culture of preparedness.

Riding the clang-clang cable cars up and down San Francisco's signature hills is a mandatory entry on any visitor's list of must-dos. While some folks wait in long lines to board the antique trolleys, savvy riders know it's relatively easy to catch a ride on the north end of town, especially if you ride the Hyde Street line instead of the better-known Powell Street line. From Ghirardelli Square , Hyde Street cable cars make an astonishingly steep climb up Russian Hill, passing by the top of the famously crooked stretch of Lombard Street before tracing the tree-lined streets of Russian and Nob Hills and then rolling back down to Union Square. (Tip: A block or two after Lombard can be a good place to hop on, because so many of passengers hop off to snap photos of cars zigzagging their way down Lombard.)
If you're wondering how these historic contraptions work, jump off at Washington and Mason to check out the free Cable Car Museum , including a peek at the giant cables that power the cars.

"Voted 2nd Best"
Hardcore Mudd Run voted 2nd best mud run of 2012 by participants
- obstaclescourses.org
"I Highly Recommend"
I highly recommend the Hardcore Mudd Run to someone looking to get in to obstacle course racing but intimidated by the clock and competitive nature. As well I highly recommend it to even the most competitive racer as a challenge to do something different or use the event to train for another upcoming race. The obstacles were no joke and the terrain was brutal, all things to make for a fun event.
- Margaret Schlachter, Dirt In Your Skirt
"Don't Miss This Race!"
Don't miss this race! Trust Me, you will be so proud of yourself when you cross that finish line. This is one event that you won't soon forget.
- Holly Mudd Mommy Blog
"Great Event!"
Great Event! I have done 7 mud runs that include The World's Toughest Mudder and I would rank this #3 out of the 7. The walls were outstanding! The hills were a great suck factor... I'm glad you used the sandbags to add to the suck factor.

Bread Bowl Spinach Dip | domestic god(ish)
Written on December 27, 2012 at 7:05 pm, by CECY j
A friend of mine has made this amazing Spinach Dip for years and I always make her bring it over for casual parties. It's perfect for a lazy New Years Day, watching football. Knorr actually has a similar recipe on their website but I prefer my friend's recipe… It does not use onions, is low fat (believe it or not), and tastes better.
1 Sourdough Round
1 package frozen spinach drained and defrosted
1 cup Light Mayonnaise
1 cup Light Sour Cream
1/2 Package Knorr vegetable soup mix
8 oz Sliced Water Chestnuts
Defrost and drain spinach
Slice off the top of the sourdough bread. Cut the bread out of the round making a bowl. Cut the bread chunks into pieces for dipping.
Mix together the spinach, light Mayonnaise, light Sour Cream, Vegetable Soup Mix and Water Chestnuts.
Fill the bread bowl with the Dip and serve.

I love to discover new facial products and winter is that time of year when tired, dry skin needs to get "Holiday Party ready." Loving all the products above for just that… a little winter "glow."
Cellnique Seaweed Cleansing Gel. Awesome cleanser for a fresh and pretty face.
DHC Deep Cleansing Oil. A very non-traditional makeup remover. It feels so good on the skin and removes dirt, excess oil, and worked like a breeze on waterproof mascara. It has Olive Oil and vitamin E so I even put a little on my face at night while on a trip and forgot face lotion.
3 Lab "M" Cream. Pure magic! My new La Mer… This stuff should be called "glow cream."
I've gone back to basics with my lip balm. When was the last time your bought good old Chapstick? I've got Chapstick (original) by my bedside these days. Smells like my childhood.
SB Design House – Kitchen Designer Interview
Written on December 12, 2012 at 7:24 am, by CECY j
Do you remember the post about the Santa Barbara Design House family room + kitchen designed by none other than Mary McDonald? Well, I had the pleasure of meeting the kitchen (and bath) designer who brought it all to life…
Charlie Rutledge business is to build great spaces and, I think you will agree, he is good at his craft. Charlie is a Certified Kitchen Designer (CKD) and a Certified Bathroom Designer (CBD) and he graciously let me pepper him with questions about kitchen design. He even provided us with the floor plan (below) of the Santa Barbara Design House kitchen!
Thank you Charlie, such a pleasure speaking with you.
The floor plan (link to plan below) for the Santa Barbara Design House seems to invite casual entertaining and living. Tell me how you approached this project?
I always start with the big picture and function. This property is made for entertaining and large parties, but it also needs to work well for daily life. I wanted both the residents and the caterers to find it very easy to use!
Incorporating the client's wish list is one of my top priorities as a designer. So the first challenge was to get two full size sinks and all the appliances needed for large groups, (two dishwashers, a full refrigerator, full freezer, and seven others) and still create great function. This was achieved by putting things where they make sense for cooking, clean up, and storage for those using it daily. And not wasting an inch of space was also important. For example, the posts on each side of the range pull out with storage for spices and oils, and the columns on the sides of the refrigerator are working cabinets as well.
The next challenge was to make a grand visual statement worthy of a design house and yet, as you said, invite casual entertaining. Visually I did this by creating balanced focal points, using formal details in the cabinetry and trim, but softening that formality with the "worn" finishes. Functionally I did this with careful use of zones. That is, by giving the cook and the guest both a place so they are together but not in each other's way. The prep and clean up zones are open to, but distinct from, the seating/serving side of the island. Also, by having the refrigerator and the second sink at the "edges" of the kitchen, both parties can use them without crossing paths. So when everyone has a comfortable place to be, it is naturally inviting and feels more casual.
I love that you put the sink on the island. Is this a new trend? Tell me why it works.
Including a second sink and putting one of them in the island has been popular ever since we got past the "triangle" to "zones". If the main sink is at a window, I usually include a medium size prep sink on the island. It is especially important in a larger kitchen where the fridge is in a different zone than the clean up sink. I do try to keep the cook top and ventilation off the island as it is not as friendly as the sink for seating, entertaining, and the projects for which the island can be so useful.
5 things every homeowner should ask themselves before starting a kitchen remodel?
1. Why do I want to remodel? Again this seems obvious, but if you list all the reasons, the end result could be so much better. If the primary reason is to improve the look, you may not think about the other issues you could improve, like those dead corners. Likewise your focus might be getting more storage, but when you consider everything you realize you don't like the appliance locations.
2. Do I need a professional to design or build my project? Be realistic, you may have a sense that you know exactly what your kitchen needs, but having someone who has designed and built a couple hundred kitchens help you might save you from your own ideas!
3. What do I like about my current kitchen? You don't want to get all done and realize you miss the junk drawer!
4. What does not work for you in the current kitchen? Seems obvious, but really think it through. You may be frustrated every time you load the dishwasher, but why?
5. When costs become a deciding factor, what are my priorities? You may be able to gut the room and move walls to achieve your dream kitchen, but if your budget only allows for a partial remodel, make sure it is the right part. A good professional will help you evaluate options and get the most out of every penny.
#1 mistake homeowners make when starting a kitchen remodel?
Getting the process out of order, therefore going in circles. Cost will eventually play a role in the scope of the project and your material choices. If you establish the scope and estimated cost at the beginning, you will be able to make each choice knowing how it fits. Even if you choose to blow the budget, you know by how much!
What paint process do you recommend for cabinets to prevent chipping?
If you are using new cabinets, there is nothing better than the pigmented conversion varnish that can only be applied in the factory. If you are painting existing cabinets, you need to spend the time or money to do significant prep before the color coat. The needed prep will depend on the overall condition of the existing finish, type of wood, and what you want the final look to be. Any time you paint over another finish it will be more prone to chipping than a quality process on new wood.
So…. are prefab kitchen cabinets for a budget remodel ever an option?
Sure, but it is good not to assume anything. An experienced kitchen designer can help you get the most out of your budget by evaluating various types of cabinets. Also, the cabinets that are often considered "prefab" are built to order and often higher quality than local shop "custom" cabinets. I built custom cabinets 25 years ago, but turned to designing with national brand cabinets because I could offer more for the money, often just as custom as the local shop.
What are some tips for optimizing space in a small kitchen?
1. If you have corners evaluate design options carefully and don't waste that space.
2. Don't be tempted to oversize your appliances. A counter depth fridge may not have quite as many cubic feet, but one that juts out 10 or more inches has ruined many a small kitchen.
3. Using a "frameless" cabinet gives you more space in the drawers, roll-out shelves, and other moving parts.
4. Favor design options that give you more counter space, even if it means less total storage. You can optimize the smaller storage, but being short on elbowroom is just a bummer!

Diarrhea: Severe with dehydration
My baby was diagnosed with the flu. Two days later, the intense, completely liquid diarrhea had not stopped, and my child was admitted to the hospital for severe dehydration as a result rotavirus. I gave my child Pedialyte at the first sign of trouble. I switched from regular baby food to rice cereal mixed with formula in the hope of finding something the baby could keep down. Nothing worked. You can only "force" a baby to drink so much, and what I could get him to drink was not enough, even though he was taking 40-50 ounces of Pedialyte each day. The diarrhea was so bad that even with that amount of fluid, he dehydrated very quickly. He ended up in the hospital for three days, on IV fluids. Admittedly, there was nothing more I could have done to ease my baby's distress, but I think it is important to stress how very dangerous this virus can be to small children.Question:
Robert Steele
Robert W. Steele, MD, is a board certified pediatrician at St. John's Regional Health Center in Springfield, MO. He graduated from medical... Read more
I very much appreciate your feedback, and I am certain your ordeal must have been very distressing. Your story is an important one because while diarrhea is usually easily managed at home, extreme diarrhea in infants or small children can become a very serious situation. This is seen on a daily basis in developing countries. In fact, diarrhea and dehydration is still the number one killer of infants and children in Africa, Asia, and Latin America claiming almost 3.3 million lives per year. We have substantially better statistics, however even in the U.S., diarrhea kills about 500 infants and children ranging in ages of one month to four years.
Note that I emphasize that diarrhea is the cause of all these problems, not the infection that caused the diarrhea. While rotavirus is a common cause of diarrhea, there are many other viruses which can cause substantial diarrhea. Some common examples include adenovirus, Norwalk virus, and astrovirus. Then there are bacteria, toxins released from bacteria, protozoans, and other parasites all of which which may cause diarrhea as well. Most of these infections do not require antibiotics, and in fact, antibiotics can make some bacterial infections worse.
Keeping up with the fluid losses is the most important thing to concentrate on during the initial phases of a diarrheal illness. This is often very difficult to do when vomiting is also a major part of the illness. Therefore, it is equally important to look for the signs of dehydration in order to know when to call your doctor. These include:
Other reasons to call your doctor during a diarrheal illness include:
It sounds like you did an outstanding job with your son during his illness; encouraging the proper fluids (Pedialyte), giving him as much fluid as possible, looking for signs of dehydration, and promptly taking him to the doctor when he had those signs. You should give yourself a pat on the back for doing such a fine job. Fortunately, stories like yours are uncommon, but your point is well taken. I hope I did not give the impression that diarrhea is always a minor ordeal. It certainly can be worse in some children particularly the younger they are. However, for the vast majority of people, diarrheal illness can be adequately managed at home if you know the signs of dehydration. Thank you again for your input.Answer:

DOWNINGTOWN, PENN. — "I am very happy, it all went well and we set a new record with the sale of the Hofman Alms-House painting," Ron Pook said a couple of days after the two-day sale ended on Saturday, October 12. He noted that "we had only a few little worries," but really only one was noticeable to the people gathered in the gallery: a nearby storm caused the electricity to fail on Friday, the first day of the general sale, and the gallery was in the dark for about 15 minutes.
During that time, Ron set up a new plan to continue on with the sale. He raised his voice, relied on the pictures in the catalog as the video screen was dark, and the sale resumed. Soon power was restored, the mic gave him a stronger voice, and the video screen seemed to take its own time to come back to life. But it did.
All of the prices noted in this review include the buyer's premium.
An absentee bid of $10,073 took lot 21, an Anna Pottery stoneware inkwell, dated 1884, in the form of a frog sitting atop a half -round reservoir, the opening with an incised bust of a man, signed and dated on the backside, 4 inches high.

Saturday's portion of the auction started off with objects from the collection of Mr and Mrs Lawrence H. Skromme, Lancaster, Penn., including a pair of portraits, husband and wife, by Jacob Eichholtz (American, 1776–1842), oil on canvas, 29 by 24 inches and both signed and dated verso 1816.

Three lots later, another New England banister back armchair was offered, dating from the mid-Eighteenth Century with a tulip cutout crest, old black surface, the Lillian Cogan provenance, for $4,740, a bid just shy of four times the high estimate.
Another New England piece was a William and Mary painted pine blanket chest, circa 1740, with lift lid and two drawers supported by turned bun feet, retaining an old black and red decorated surface. With a high estimate of $3,000, it sold for $7,703. A miniature carving of a robin by A.E.

Two men are dead and a person of interest is in custody following what police sources believe was an attempted robbery in the Bronx early Friday morning.
The New York City Police Department says it happened shortly before 5 a.m. on Rombouts Avenue near Light Street in Eastchester.
Police say they found two men who appear to have been shot inside of a car.
Jermaine Johnson, 28, who was shot in the head, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The other victim, 23-year-old Kaiison Lewis, was shot in the torso and later pronounced dead at Jacobi Hospital.
Police sources believe the two deceased men may have been trying to rob a man when he pulled out a gun and shot them as they tried to flee.
Neighborhood residents say the street where the shootings took place is a magnet for criminal activity.
"To wake up to something like this is devastating, it is, it is, and especially with the children. I became afraid when I said I had to go downstairs and go to the door, you don't know whether the shots is gonna come in," said one resident.
"It's disgusting, because the summer's not even here yet and this is what we have to look forward to. To the point where we don't come out in our backyards because you don't know who could be in your backyard. So it's scary," said another resident.
Police sources say detectives recovered two guns at the scene.

Facebook Acting Like a Twit on Instagram
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- By now, you probably know the meat of the big social media story: Facebook (FB) owns Instagram. And Facebook cut Twitter off from the wildly popular Instagram photo stream. Twitter responded by debuting photo filtering of its own.
Just to be clear -- as I understand and have tested it, you can still link to an Instagram photo via Twitter (that makes logical sense for Facebook to accept traffic from Twitter), but your Instagram photos no longer show up inside the Twitter platform.
At first glance, Twitter's filtering options stink. That said, they'll probably get better. I can only assume they got rushed out once Twitter received word of Facebook's move. Just because I think they stink doesn't mean others will. Plus, they'll likely grow on me anyway.
In any event, it's going to be interesting to watch the battle between these two companies. For the record, I don't quite get why Facebook and Twitter want to fight one another. They could position themselves as complementary platforms (they are!) and work together to do everything from cross-promote to sell advertising.But that's not how it's going to go. Instead, Facebook, in some respects, is pulling an Apple (AAPL). To a limited, but incredibly meaningful extent Facebook is closing up its ecosystem. It's not only reigning things in via this Twitter/Instagram quirk, but it tossed a similar salvo at Zynga (ZNGA) the other day. Apple succeeds at keeping practically everything under the iOS umbrella because its stuff -- hardware, software, overall user experience, social cachet -- is that good ... that strong. Apple can say with considerable confidence that it does not sell to a fickle market. Outside of iTunes, it really doesn't make sense for Apple to open anything up to anybody or anything outside of iOS. Same goes for OS X. While I believe strongly in Facebook's near- and long-term prospects, I have to wonder if it's putting too much faith in Instagram. Photo sharing, filtering, streaming -- all of that jazz is pretty big. It seems to me that Facebook is making the bet that Instagram is so popular it really doesn't need as strong an association with Twitter. Facebook is not Apple -- yet -- so it best be careful.

PKP Bugzilla – Bug 6063
Upgrading from 2.2.4 to 2.3.3 fails with PostgreSQL
Last modified: 2010-10-29 16:34:03 PDT
Upgrading from 2.2.4 to 2.3.3 fails when the database used is postgresql.
A fix for this was made in bz#6023 but it is incomplete as documented here:
Created attachment 3290 [details]
Patch against OJS 2.3.3-2
Created attachment 3295 [details]
Patch against PKP pre-release
Attached patch is equivalent to attachment #3290 [details], but for consistency, it's generated from the PKP library's working directory (lib/pkp). Only one of the two need to be applied.
Thanks for contributing, Tom!
Fixing for the OJS 2.3.3-3 incremental release.

Mark Parsons began his senior season without much of a profile. El Dorado High's running back changed all that in a few short weeks.
"He does whatever you want. He's a workhorse. He hardly ever comes off the field. He starts at linebacker on defense, and we have to pull him off special teams to find him breathers. ... I'm a better coach because of Mark Parsons."
– El Dorado football coach Mike Crawford
"Mark, he's a humble guy. He's a great guy. We're friends off the field, we were friends before football, and that comes first between us. We as an offensive line are just lucky enough to be able to block for him and have him as a friend, too."
– El Dorado senior lineman Israel Ramirez
Opponent; Carries; Yards; Touchdowns; Result
Ayala; 11 carries; 69 yards; 1 touchdown; L, 42-23
Yorba Linda; 9 carries; 11 yards; 1 touchdown; L, 28-10

Brea Olinda*; 34 carries; 367 yards; 7 touchdowns (school record); W, 56-41
* – denotes Century League opponent
Mark Parsons is a football coach's dream.
El Dorado High's senior running back has the strength to shed tackles, the lateral quickness and vision to bounce outside, and the speed to outrun pursuers.
Those talents, though essential, are not what make Parsons an outstanding football player.
What makes him that, rather, is his ability to take little to no credit for any of his feats.
"If my offensive line and receivers don't block, then there is no run game," Parsons said. "Without them, I would have zero yards on Friday night."
Parsons, 17, is a humble, unassuming kid with a knack for averting praise.
"It's just my personality, I guess," he said.
"He's the most humble kid I've ever been around in my life," El Dorado coach Mike Crawford added.
Parsons is 5-foot-11, solid muscle.
His mannerisms reflect those of a man twice his age, and he often answers questions with brevity, if only because he's truly unaware of the rarity of his accomplishments.
His naivety is as refreshing as it is sincere.
"You can tell mom and dad did a good job of raising a fine young man," Crawford said.
Parsons is the eldest of four siblings.
He began playing football in third grade, but admits he wasn't very good.
Parsons played freshman football at El Dorado in 2010 and ascended to varsity as a sophomore. He played sparsely at running back that year, but started at linebacker three games into the season.
"The first time I went out there (on varsity), I was shocked because everybody looked way bigger once I was on the field," he said.
Parsons was the team's primary fullback last season. He received a few carries and scored a couple of touchdowns.
"We didn't know what we had with Mark," said Crawford, who took over the football program this summer. "Mark was a good, straight runner. If the hole was open, Mark's really fast, so he can just go.
"But when guys came to tackle him, you could tell he didn't quite know what to do."
Parsons had 180 rushing yards through El Dorado's first four games this season – all losses.

Super Girls! Moccasins Advance to South Super Regional With 3-1 Win Over West Alabama
TAMPA – The Moccasins have been riding the arm of Christine Clark for quite a while. They'll be riding it a little while longer. They'll also be looking for more big hits like the ones they've been getting from Randi Grimes and Brittany Martin, not to mention from Clark herself. All three of those players starred Sunday, as Florida Southern defeated West Alabama 3-1 to advance to its first NCAA South Super Regional.
With Clark pitching every inning during the first weekend of the South Region Tournament, the 6th-seeded Moccasins (39-16) moved forward with a 3-0 record that included two wins over 7th-seeded West Alabama (35-25) following their 1-0 win over Barry in the opener. There can be no doubt the weekend sweep was the crowning achievement of Clark's career – at least so far. The senior gave up six hits to West Alabama on Sunday, struck out four and walked no one. After the Tigers tied the score in the top of the fourth inning, Clark also came through at the plate with RBI singles in the fourth and sixth innings to give the Mocs their final two runs.
Talk about a day to remember. Now the Mocs hope there will be a few more. The road will continue this Friday against either top-seeded Valdosta State or #4 seed Rollins. Those two teams are completing their half of the South Region Tournament in Valdosta, but were stopped after two innings due to rain. The Blazers and Tars will pick up where they left off Monday morning at 10:00 a.m., with a second game to follow if necessary.
Grimes had two hits on Sunday and scored the Mocs' first two runs. She finished the three games 4-for-9, and drove in the go-ahead run in the first two wins. Martin also had two hits Sunday, drove in one run, had a sacrifice bunt to set up another, and a stolen base that gave Clark her final RBI opportunity. The senior third baseman also had two RBI in the 4-1 win over West Alabama on Saturday.
Sunday, Grimes helped the Mocs score their first two runs with singles in the first and fourth innings. In the bottom of the first, the senior first baseman singled with two out and came home when Martin doubled into left center. After the Tigers tied the game at one in the top of the fourth, Grimes came up again in the bottom of the inning and delivered another single. This time, Martin bunted her into scoring position and a 2-out error opened the door for Clark. The Moccasin pitcher singled into left center bringing in Grimes with the go-ahead run.
The Mocs added an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth after Martin singled and stole second. Clark's 2-out RBI single then made the score 3-1.
Clark got the first two hitters in the top of the seventh, but West Alabama got renewed life when Taylor Miller struck out and reached first safely as the ball went to the back stop. A rare wild pitch by Clark moved her to second, but Dayna Hunn ended the game with a running catch in right center against Tamara Vickers.
After striking out 14 West Alabama hitters on Saturday, Clark (29-9) had to battle through every inning Sunday. Only once did she set down the Tigers in order, but only once did they have more than one base runner in those innings. That one time came in the top of the fourth when the Tigers used a leadoff single by Morgan Morrison, a sacrifice bunt by Brooklyn Phillips and 2-out single by Kelsey Cooper to score their only run.
Cooper was a thorn in the side of Florida Southern, picking up two hits Sunday and going 5-for-6 against the Moccasins over the weekend.
Clark also made two big plays with her glove, snatching line drives out of the air in the second and seventh innings. She also got a sharp play from Christie Bailey in the fifth when the Moccasin shortstop went toward the middle of the infield to field a grounder hit by Stephanie Shoup, and get the final out with a runner rounding the bag at third.
While the Tigers had six hits, Florida Southern had eight hits, with Grimes, Martin and Clark all picking up two. Bailey and Sam Gale each had one apiece. Grimes and Gale hit safely in all three games of the tournament.
The Moccasins will find out later Sunday night who their opponent will be in the South Super Regional, with more details to be announced on Monday.

High Style: A Classic Paris Apartment
When the editor of ELLE DECORATION France fell in love with a noted furniture dealer and invited him to move into her classic Paris apartment, the place got an invigorating dose of 20th-century high style
By Ian Phillips
Dining Room
To make way for Rapin's treasures, De Chirée moved most of her possessions to her country house in the south of France. Several of her things, however, remain. They include a boldly patterned 19th-century rug she retrieved from a former monastery in Avignon owned by her brother, and a papier-mâché bust of Plato—evidence that her approach to decorating is marked by a sense of fun. "Both Philippe and I are very joyful and a little eccentric by nature," she explains.
The circa-1970 dining table is by Ado Chale, the 19th-century armchair is covered with a Zimmer + Rohde fabric, and the ceramic column is Italian.

Forget, for a minute, ''Master and Commander,'' ''The Return of the King,'' and ''Cold Mountain.'' Bully for Sean Penn if he takes home Best Actor for ''Mystic River'' in 2004, and for J.R.R. Tolkien if he finally wins Best Picture bragging rights from the great beyond, but we're already restless -- so let's look ahead to the next batch of high-quality movies adapted from high-quality books.
It's Julianne Moore for Best Actress in 2006, baby! It could happen -- we checked into it. She's signed to star in Running With Scissors, an adaptation of Augusten Burroughs' rollicking 2002 memoir about his crazy upbringing and his even crazier mom. ''When I got the book, I thought, My God, there's not been a better part written since Scarlett O'Hara,'' says ''Nip/Tuck'' creator Ryan Murphy, who's writing and directing for a hoped-for 2005 release. Adds Burroughs: ''[Murphy] read me the beginning of the actual screenplay and I was blown away by it.... You can just see Julianne Moore reading those lines and then trotting up to the stage to get her Oscar.''
When she does -- okay, IF she does -- she'll be trailing a long line of winners who have an author to thank in their acceptance speeches. It's a list that will surely grow after this year, when a multitude of other Oscar hopefuls -- ''Big Fish,'' ''Girl With a Pearl Earring,'' and ''House of Sand and Fog'' -- are emerging in films adapted from novels.
Why the glut? In an increasingly dumbed-down movie marketplace, filming a well-known book is the easiest way to make a complex film, says ''The Quiet American'' director Phillip Noyce, who plans to start shooting Philip Roth's Pulitzer-winning American Pastoral in the spring. ''Financiers are increasingly reluctant to proceed with complex screenplays, and the fact that a complex story is based on a literary classic or a popular novel gives them more confidence,'' he says. ''Many of these adaptations would never have been greenlit if they were original screenplays.''
As for other upcoming big-ticket movie versions, let's begin with the ones we've been waiting for forever. After Steven Spielberg flirted with directing it a couple of years ago, Arthur Golden's Memoirs of a Geisha finally got a new start last month, with ''Chicago'' director Rob Marshall at the helm. And after 23 years of guiding his epically troubled project through various circles of development hell, producer Scott Kramer says A Confederacy of Dunces -- John Kennedy Toole's adored 1980 adventures of a portly hot dog vendor who'll be played by Will Ferrell -- finally has a start date and could be in theaters as early as next Christmas. ''I've envisioned it so many different ways, as you can imagine -- at one point it was John Belushi,'' says Kramer, who wrote the script with Steven Soderbergh. ''But Will is amazing, and we're thrilled about 'Elf.'''
Indie director David Gordon Green (''All the Real Girls'') is helming ''Confederacy''; bigger names are working on more recent books. M. Night Shyamalan -- currently in the Pennsylvania woods shooting ''The Village'' -- will next turn to Life of Pi, Yann Martel's Booker Prize-winning tall tale about a boy and a tiger on a lifeboat. ''8 Mile'''s Curtis Hanson plans to revive Victorian London for The Crimson Petal and the White, Michel Faber's 2002 breakout novel about a feisty prostitute (Kirsten Dunst is attached); screenwriter Nicholas Meyer (''The Human Stain'' and the upcoming adaptation of Roth's The Dying Animal) says he hopes to give Hanson a finished script by the end of the year. And Ron Howard -- along with fellow ''A Beautiful Mind'' Oscar winners, producer Brian Grazer and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman -- is tackling The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown's smash thriller about an art-history Indiana Jones. ''At first I was very hesitant to sell the rights, because this is a character that I will be writing about for years to come,'' Brown says. ''But this level of talent just can't be denied.''
Other novelists are adapting their own books. Michael Cunningham, author of ''The Hours,'' is mulling over more movie projects after a pleasant experience adapting A Home at the End of the World, his 1998 family drama, into a 2004 Colin Farrell film, now in postproduction. ''Colin is fantastic -- wait till you see him,'' Cunningham says. ''It is, as far as I know, Colin's first chance in the movies to play a complicated character full of ambivalence and ambiguity.'' (Incidentally, the screenwriter of ''The Hours,'' playwright David Hare, is plugging away at the script for Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections.) And while it may have taken 10 drafts, Michael Chabon's own script for his Pulitzer-winning comic-book epic The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay finally got the okay from ''Hours'' producer Scott Rudin last summer; ''Hours'' director Stephen Daldry is attached to direct. ''It's just hard to do,'' Chabon says. ''You've got this thing that's at least presumably what it's supposed to be as a novel. And then to say, 'I know, let's take it and make it into a movie.' It's kind of a crazy thing to do with stuff.'' Make it worth his while, Hollywood: Michael Chabon for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2006!

The first time I saw Dr. Xin Min Xie was over 14 years ago and he helped my son and I for back problems, so I lost contact for about ten years then for about a year I couldn't find him. I had another problem when I finally found him, he again helped with my neck pain. He does acupuncture and he again told me what the problem was and resolved. The first time it took about two or three visits, the second a little longer. I love going to Dr. Xin Min Xie. Thank you Dr. Xie for all of your assistance throughout the years. EMB

Item # YTI0050
Don't worry though, we have a lot more All-Mountain & Trail Bikes - Full Suspension in stock than that.
Yeti Cycles SB66 Enduro Bike $0.00
A higher level.
Roll up to the trailhead and unleash the hungry Yeti SB66 Enduro Mountain Bike. Equally happy half-wheeling racer-boy hardtails on climbs or outgunning portly freeride sleds on technical descents, the SB66 takes all-mountain riding to its highest form, thanks to the ride-optimizing eccentric lower pivot.
- Switch Technology uses an eccentric mechanism that continuously adjusts the lower pivot position for the perfect balance of pedaling efficiency and plushness
- A rearward axle path at the beginning of the stroke lets the wheel roll over small bumps while maintaining a firm platform
- At 100 millimeters into the travel, the link rotates in the opposite direction for a responsive midstroke, and finally to the end position where the suspension is independent of chain forces to avoid any feedback or spikes
- A compact link assembly is located inside a single forged housing, and mated to a stiff rear end using oversized pins to provide wallow-free, pinpoint handling
- Kashima-coated Fox 32 with thru-axle and Float RP23 offer a wide range of adjustments for optimum control and performance in varying conditions
- SRAM drivetrain features a budget-friendly mix of X7 and X9 components for fast and precise shifting
- Powerful Avid Elixir 5 brakes haul the SB66 down from speed with ease and traction-optimizing modulation

Love SB66, should be cheaper since made in Taiwan
This is my 3rd mountain bike in 5 years living in CO and it took me to the next level in 3 weeks! I demoed a $4K specialized bike before SB66 and SB66 beat it hands down. I also rode Yeti 575 and while being a great bike, it was not as impressive as SB66, esp climbing uphill, so believe the hype!
My previous bikes were within $1000 range and just pulled me out of the house on occasion, but Yeti made me a more skilled rider and now I am hooked on mountain biking. SB66 took about 3-4 rides to dial in suspension settings, and now it shines and keeps grin on my face. I went from newbie to the next level in just a few weeks with this bike! I mostly ride mid to mid-high level technical trails in CO front range area., right where Yeti is being developed and tested, so this may have contributed to the brand success.
My beef with Yeti is that starting this year model (2011) you only get 2 years of warranty on frame instead of 5 years as they did before. This is important with new frame on this bike, which no one knows how long it will last with pivot. Frames are no longer made in CO, but in Taiwan, so should we get a discount? But I will keep my fingers crossed and enjoy this bike in the mean time.

yes they do, just not here yet. looks like you'll have to hit up your local dealer(if you have one) for the chip system or iscg mounts.
Great Bike, just give yourself some time for the correct setup.
Hi there, after 3 weeks with the yeti sb-66 I just want to say that is without a doubt one of the best bikes I eve own. I have to make it clear, I dont do XC racing, or really Hard All DH, Im just a dude that wants to have fun with the bike in all kind of rides (long distance trips , uphill, downhill, xc tracks, mountain trails and even in the road).
So in these 3 weeks I have enough time to test the bike in all kind of terrain and had a really smooth ride in all tested conditions:
In the Road??? Just put the RP23 in the firm option, block your front suspension and Buala!!!, not the fastest bike on earth, but a really firm ride with not too much weight for an all mountain bike.
Downhill in trails with rock gardens??? The Yeti Sb-66 will gives you a really good grip and no vibrations at all, so If you are like me, a 30+ year Pal, you will really enjoy that there will not be pain in your back for vibrations or head neck injuries after a long downhill. Plus you have 6 inches of travel !!! go and get all the jumps, you can!!!
Uphill with rock gardens or really technical stuff??? No problem either, the suspension will help you to do the job, great grip just like a goat. And what to say about the 10 speed cog?? The 1-10 gear relationship will make every hill a pancake to eat.
What about suspension travel ??? Well here I have to say that maybe a little aggressive fork and shock will make a better downhill ride, if you like to do serious downhill ,add an aggressive fork and shock, but again this is a bike for all around the mountain not for an only one specific task.
Just one more advice, I enjoyed bike not in the first week, not in the second it was until the 3 week when I give like 8 hrs to correctly setup the seat post height, handlebar height and SUSPENSION that the bike comes alive and make and outstanding piece of technology, dont do this homework and you will have just a nice bike, so invert really good time to make the bike shine.
Just one more thing, Im not a rocket scientist and either know the technology behind the suspension of the bike, just as a regular pal I can say in resume: This bike is a piece of art, climbs really better than my Stumpjumper 07 and go down faster as my XR250 Honda :D does, but again, that just will happen when you get serious about setting up the suspension.
P.S .And the color ROCKS https://picasaweb.google.com/112897219932664081383/YetiSb66#slideshow/5664674852593692418

Yeti SB-66 is the stuff
Just got done with my first ride on this bike. Bike was set up as shown here except with some XO shifters and some lighter bar/stem/post goodies. The suspension isn't 100% dialed in yet, but even at 80% there this bike climbs like a champ and eats up anything you can find going down. Today I rode lift-accessed DH, a DS-style "flow" track, a terrain park with some 5-6 foot drops, and then did a 3 mile climb followed by a long descent on singletrack. The Yeti did everything very well. I come from an XC background so it was a bit of a revelation to have that much squish on the down, but I didn't pay for it at all on the up. The slack head tube means that this can run very fast on DH oriented days, but the suspension works! Believe the hype - I'm a Yeti devotee and my previous bike was a 575 and this honestly blows that bike out of the water so long as you're willing to push the bike pretty hard.
Mark what do you think about the long length of the top tub? how tall are you and inseam? what size did you get? I'm really torn being that i'm 5'11 i'm right in the m/l range. My current bike is a 18 and has always felt small so i'm a little nervous about going to the m. any advice would be appreciated. I've road (around the store parking lot) a large 575 and liked the length but this is a tad longer.
Mark Parrett
The top tube length was a plus for me as I'm also 5'11" with a 30 inch inseam and I was previously on a Large 575. This fits better and allows me to size down without being scrunched up.
Mark, what kind of paperwork/accesories came with your bike? Did it come with an air shock pump for tuning?
Mark Parrett
I am also 5'11" with a 30 inch inseam and I got the medium. I previously rode a large 575 and it was a touch big on me but manageable. I could get away with the large but I like the smaller frame for more fun on the way down. If I had a 32" inseam I might go Large.
