Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving
Page Navigation
Unitarian Universalists take pride in practicing radical hospitality. While other aspects of congregational life can vary, our congregations are all welcoming places for newcomers. You need not be a member of a Unitarian Universalist congregation to participate in most aspects of congregational life, from joining in worship to serving on committees.
As a newcomer to the congregation, feel free to attend Sunday worship services and other congregational events to help you get familiar with the congregation. If you wish to make a long-term commitment to your congregation and participate in the business of Unitarian Universalism, you may choose to become a member.
Unitarian Universalism is organized on the congregational polity model, which gives greatest authority to individual congregations to determine their own affairs. This includes setting their own membership requirements. There is no single or "official" definition of membership.
In many congregations, you are considered a member when you sign the membership book and pay a pledge to the congregation. While all congregations rely on financial pledges to support the congregation's continued life and initiatives, some do not require any financial commitment to become a member.
To experience Unitarian Universalism firsthand, we invite you to visit a congregation near you!

This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.

BOOK SMARTS: Jones, who's been acting in television dramas on and off since she was a child growing up in Birmingham, England, took a break to study English literature at Oxford University, graduating in 2006. "It's given me the ability to deconstruct books, which is the same thing I do with a script — but now I don't have to write an essay at the end of it."
IN GOOD COMPANY: In "Brideshead Revisited," Jones shares the screen with a glittering cast that includes Emma Thompson, Michael Gambon, Matthew Goode and Greta Scacchi. "It was intimidating, but in a good way," says Jones, who took the opportunity to learn from the greats. "Every scene was such a master class — I became like a magpie."
FASHION PHILOSOPHY: The actress, whose fashion choices lean towards 3.1 Phillip Lim and Joseph mixed with items from Topshop, is approaching the prospect of film premieres with some trepidation. "It's like getting dressed up for your usual Friday night out, but with so much more pressure...and publicity," she says.
UP NEXT: Jones has just wrapped "Flashbacks of a Fool," an independent British film in which Daniel Craig plays a fading Hollywood star who revisits the English seaside town where he grew up, following the death of a childhood friend. Jones plays Craig's girlfriend in the film's flashbacks to the Seventies. "[Our characters] are obsessed with Roxy Music and David Bowie, which is my parents' era, so I got to share their cultural goods," says Jones.

The number of homeless young people in Billings is "escalating well past the expected increase in overall population," according to a final report issued recently by the organizers of a survey of homeless youth last summer.
The authors of the 2013 Youth Count! Report, the result of a survey in Billings last summer, also say that youth make up 28 percent of the overall homeless population in Montana's largest city.
"Many of these children have families, but some do not," the report states. "Some live with neighbors and friends, but without a support network, many are forced to live on the streets."
The report is authored by AmericaCorps VISTA members Joshua J. Downes and Chelsia Davis and Brenda Beckett, community development manager for the City of Billings.
Downes and Davis started working on the project with Tumbleweed Runaway Program, a drop-in center for homeless youth, about a year ago. Last July, they led a team of volunteers in a survey of homeless youth between the ages of 13 and 21. Their 60-plus page report includes data collected from that and other surveys and reports.
Nailing down the exact number of homeless youth in Billings is an elusive task for a variety of reasons, but by all accounts the group numbers in the hundreds.
School District 2 identified 560 students who had experienced homelessness in 2012-2013, not including young children, drop-outs or homeschooled youth, according to the report; a Billings point-in-time survey last year indicated 225 children experiencing homelessness; and Tumbleweed serves about 600 young people a year.
Davis and Downes analyzed in-depth data from about 100 young people.
One of the first things that stood out from results of their 42-question survey, the authors say, is that "resolution of family conflict is the most significant need and life barrier identified by youth and young adults in Billings."
Coupled with family conflict — one girl who took the survey said "I need a family, just not mine" — the homeless youth have difficulty accessing basic needs such as food, shelter and clothing, according to the report.
"Since many of respondents report not having experienced support at home, the community needs to recognize this first and foremost with compassionate understanding," the authors say.
They found that some of the young people lack even a place to shower on a regular basis, and that others have "suffered sexual abuse, have traded sexual favors for basic needs, and have health and dental related concerns without the means to seek proper care."
Downes and Davis call for increased funding of alternative programs for youth, more cooperation and coordination between existing services for homeless youth and for local agencies and services to "develop additional programs structured for youth to learn and practice a path for self-reliance."
In addition to collecting and analyzing data on homeless youth, Downes and Davis have said their year-long project is intended to create a blueprint for similar surveys in the future.
Their efforts attracted national attention: They were selected to be one of about 55 groups presenting similar projects at the National Runaway Homeless Youth conference in Atlanta last November.

Corpus Christi natives' sandwich shop in Austin will be featured on Food Network and Travel Channel
CORPUS CHRISTI - Two Corpus Christi natives only made $30 the first day they opened an Austin sandwich shop in September 2010.
Fast-forward 1½ years. Brandon Martinez and John Bates' Noble Pig has caught the eye of television foodies like Guy Fieri on the Food Network, and Adam Richman, known for his "Man v. Food" stunts on the Travel Channel.
All they need now probably is a visit from Anthony Bourdain.
Martinez and Bates, Del Mar College Culinary Arts program graduates, will have their sandwich shop featured in Fieri's "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" at 9 p.m. June 4 and on Richman's new series "Best Sandwich in America."
Martinez and Bates said they strive to make unique sandwiches like duck pastrami or seared beef tongue. The made-from-scratch, not-your-regular $5 subs are the reason owners Bates and Martinez believe the restaurant has been so successful so fast.
Martinez said that 95 percent of the menu takes more than 24 hours to prepare, from the homemade mustard to the pickles.
"You are not given something out of a bag that is over-salted," Martinez said.
After Bates and Martinez graduated from Del Mar in 2000, they spent time cooking in fine dining restaurants. When they ended up in Austin, Bates approached Martinez about his sandwich shop concept.
Bates wanted to showcase the skills they learned in fine dining to a bigger audience.
"Regular sandwich shops make me sad because they aren't fresh and have no soul or love in them" Bates said. "We care about everything we put on your plate here."
It took a while for people to notice the lunch stop. Martinez said they didn't do any advertising and you could easily drive by the shop without noticing it.
"We had no money in our bank accounts; no money for rent or food when we were first opening," Martinez said. "To come from that to having a staff of 10 is awesome."
Bates said the restaurant really took off in December 2010 by word-of-mouth and they had their first article in the Austin Chronicle.
Now with the Fieri's signature face stenciled on the small café's wall, Martinez said Fieri told them to get ready for the storm of people once the show airs.
When the producer of the Food Network show called, Martinez thought it was his brother putting someone up to prank him.
"I kept telling the producer that I knew my brother was behind the prank and that they could stop pretending," Martinez said.
Martinez said that it blew his mind that television shows wanted to feature them.
"Preparing for the Food Network was crazy," Martinez said. "I definitely held my breath when Guy took that first bite."
Bates said he owes a lot of his knowledge to Del Mar. It made him appreciate how much of an art cooking is and that the program enlightened him of how respected of a profession it is.
"I don't get to brag about it a lot, but I wouldn't be where I am now if I didn't have that Del Mar background," Bates said.
As for opening a restaurant here in Corpus Christi, they said not for at least the next five or six years while they are focusing on expanding in Austin.
"But yes, I would love to open something up in our old stomping grounds in the future," Martinez said.
The Noble Pig in Austin will be featured on two television shows.
Catch it on the Food Network's "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" at 9 p.m. June 4
The Travel Channel's "Best Sandwich in America" series will feature the sandwich shop as well. The show's pilot episode will premiere at 8 p.m. June 6, but the episode date for the Noble Pig feature has not been set.

Eleanor's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Cute, spunky and filled with a whole lotta love. That pretty much sums up Eleanor. This 3 year old Terrier Mix was transferred from another shelter in hopes of finding a new forever home. If you're on the market for a lovely, loving, pretty, adorable, fun, pocket sized pittie mix come scoop this girl up! Eleanor would make an awesome addition to any family. She's one of the most affectionate pups around and has stolen the hearts of all us at the shelter! Eleanor is dog and people friendly, great to walk to on the leash, awesome in the car and she loves her playtime! Most of all, she loves being around people!

Other Pets at Associated Humane Societies
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Eleanor, a Tinton Falls Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) for sale in Tinton Falls, or seeking a Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) dog from a breeder in Tinton Falls.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Tinton Falls already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Tinton Falls breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) breeders who help with Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Tinton Falls paves the way for another one to be saved.

HALLANDALE BEACH, FL - Trainer Charles "Scooter" Dickey sent Flat Out to the Gulfstream turf course Sunday morning for a five-furlong workout, which the Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1) winner completed in 1:00.35 under jockey Alex Solis.
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – Big Drama was a very tough act to follow in the stable of trainer David Fawkes, but Apriority still put on quite a show Saturday at Gulfstream Park. Apriority didn't come close to the track record of 1:08.28 that Big Drama set while winning $100,000 Mr. Prospector Stakes (G3), but the 4-year-old son of Grand Slam turned in a mind-boggling performance of his own to give Fawkes back-to-back triumphs in the 59th running of the six-furlong stakes.
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – John Servis considers himself extremely fortunate to have enjoyed an idyllic journey along the Road to the Kentucky Derby in 2004 with Smarty Jones, who emerged undefeated from the first two legs of the Triple Crown before suffering his first loss in the Belmont Stakes. The Pennsylvania-based trainer doesn't expect to relive that once-in-a-lifetime experience, but he will have the benefit from that experience when he sends Yourhonorandglory onto this year's Road to the Kentucky Derby in Sunday's $100,000 Gulfstream Park Derby.
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – Gulfstream Park Racing & Casino will close out the year with three carryovers.
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL - Trainer Graham Motion tasted victory in the Kentucky Derby this year for the first time with a horse that hadn't even registered a blip on the national radar at this time last year. No 2-year-old saddled by Motion will ever again evade detection from those on the lookout for Kentucky Derby prospects. Thus, when Gold Megillah cavorted to a maiden victory by more than 18 lengths over a sloppy Churchill Downs racetrack on Nov. 16, the son of Purim instantly became a serious horse to watch.
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL - When Big Drama went to post for the Mr. Prospector Stakes (G3) at Gulfstream Park last January, the betting public looked forward to an encore performance of the David Fawkes-trained speedster's thrilling triumph in the 2010 Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1). The odds-on-favorite didn't disappoint, scoring by open lengths while setting a track record for six-furlongs. Two days later, Big Drama was honored with an Eclipse Award as North America's champion sprinter.
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL - Trainer Jim DiVito has had a career year in 2011, winning 70 races from 284 starters for a 25 per cent win rate while racing in Chicago most of the year and at Gulfstream Park in the winter The veteran horseman will have an opportunity to get the New Year off to a fast start on Sunday with a starter in both the $100,000 Gulfstream Park Derby and $100,000 Old Hat Stakes (G3), both race for 3-year-olds.
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – Gulfstream Park has traditionally exerted the most influence on the Triple Crown of any racetrack, and that tradition of excellence figures to be even greater in 2012 with the inauguration of another major stakes for 3-year-olds. The inaugural running of the $100,000 Gulfstream Park Derby will highlight Sunday's New Year's Day program, offering a lucrative first step on the Road to the Kentucky Derby for 11 newly turned 3-year-olds.
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL - The 3-year-old class of 2012 debuts Sunday with the first running of the $100,000 Gulfstream Park Derby at 1 1/16 miles and a field of 11 with Michael Dubb's Ancient Rome and Robert LaPenta's Casual Trick among the likely choices to get early recognition on the Kentucky Derby (G1) and Triple Crown trail.

I have an extension table with wood top on which the apron keeps coming loose and sagging, mostly at the end of the apron sections where they meet when the table is closed. I have tried adding glue and toothpicks to the holes for the pocket screws, then adding glue between apron and top and screwing it back together with the apron propped up on a stack of books on a chair to press the whole thing together until the glue dries. It works loose after a while and sags again.
Any suggestions on what I can use to fill the holes? I can't use longer screws, but maybe fatter ones? Is glueing the apron the to top a good idea or not? Maybe I need to add some glued blocks underneath where apron meets top to reinforce? Thanks for any help Jo |
Follow-Up Postings:
Answers to this depend on the materials used in the table and how the thing was built. Pictures would help a lot. |

I know this is a windows forum, but I guess the concept is similar! My front door faces directly south and is a painted steel door with a fiberglass frame around the window in it. The fiberglass frame is unpainted. The problem is, my current storm door is solid glass, and with the direct sun coming through the glass, the interior door get so hot you can't touch it. Plus, some of the sealer is beginning to leak around the door window frame.
My question is: is there a door made from double pane or some type of glass which will not allow the heat to come through so strongly? I've asked a couple sales people, and no one seems to think there is a solution. Any help is much appreciated! |

Storm doors are typically single pane glass so low-e glazing is out of the question. You might look into an applied glass tint, a newly constructed porch or a large tree etc.??? |
- Posted by windowsonwashington (My Page) on Sat, May 8, 10 at 10:08
Storm doors are designed to be removed in the summer months. |
- Posted by theporchguy (email@example.com) on Mon, May 10, 10 at 20:17
Although they do make 1/1 insulated glass panels for storms doors, your door is still going to cook. Did you ever put your arm down on your car in the sun? Hot! I believe your only solution is to replace the inside 1 3/4" steel door with a fir wood door. It won't get hot. The Porch Guy |
Here is a link that might be useful: My Album
What color is your inner door painted, if it is a dark color that will be a good part of the problem. Try a light color and see if this helps. Most door manufacturers will tell you not to paint a steel door a dark color if it is exposed to a lot of sunlite especially if you use a storm door |

Re:Cause/effect doesn't matter. (438 comments)
Hi girintraining
I did drink some scotch, but I hope moderators will raise you, since what you just said is absolutly right. I mean, everything have a causality, and if this lead to not put in prison people that does did offence to what we consider ok, everything will find a causality to people behavior and this will lead total collapse. We cannot accept "as superior knowledge people" the behaviour of inferior one because they did have a physical excuse or pre-adult bad learning experience.
I'll change subject a little bit, but since we are overpopulated, why not sent to forced labor for life everything that is now > 2 years in prison offence, and never include excuses for lower sentences?
Re:I have a problem with human global warming (791 comments)
"- Finally the point that wake me up to the possibility global warming is maybe political / taxation propaganda : ALL other planets got temperature increase.
Since you are really defending antropogenic global warming, you surely know that all other measure got temperature increase, as planet earth, do you?
I have a problem with human global warming (791 comments)
In fact, I have some problems, but let's have some here :
- Artic ice cap, as antartic ice cap, melt and reform each year : something I didn't knew before doing my own research. Artic ice cap size reduce something like 5% per year in the last 20-30 years and the antartic ice cap size is GROWING, slower but growing each year.
- The growth in temperature for more than a century is less than a celcius degree (0.76 if I remember well). Half of this increase happen if I well remember before WWII.
- In recent years there have been no increase in temperature, even if co2 incresed
- Temperature measure are often done in inner city, where temperature is effectively slighthly greater
- Finally the point that wake me up to the possibility global warming is maybe political / taxation propaganda : ALL other planets got temperature increase.
So yes maybe a majority of climatologist could agree that global warming got a human original, but I'm not buying that. I could agree maybe for a point around 20% of global warming is human origin, but absolutly no more than that.
This being said, I'm very ecologic and I make a distinction between pollution and global warming.
Handwritting (921 comments)
This story really make me think that handwritting *will* one day not be teached. We have to assume that one day when full portable computer will be around 20$, there will be absolutly no need to ever try to write anything, except small note where anyone can write in it's own cursive or simply full letters. Speech recognition with search capability would also nearly remove the need to ever write something. For my part, I've been using computer since 7 yo and I'm now 34, and I can tell you that I'm writing probably 4-5 times faster with a keyboard than with a pencil, and it's 10 times more easy to re-read myself (this is when I'm able read back what I've written, but that's another story).

Re:Human limits (911 comments)
To answer your question, I seriously think a pilot cannot estimate correctly his speed at this altitude. BUT, in regards with the power sent to the engine (thrust), you know thrusts must not be at maximum since you will overspeed, nor too little or you will stall. If you take flight simulator for example, putting thrust at 30% of maximum thrust will give you a decent speed. A professional pilot will be able to roughly guess his speed from power sent to engines, if his altitude is stable. For that, if your altitude gives you something very imprecise or simply wrong, you simply need to stay nose on the horizon (in night at this altitude you would normally be able to see stars and horizon, or you simply keep your eyes on the gyroscope in the cockpit that give plane situation in space. There is some possibility you will slowly climb or going down, but from 35000 feets you have time to make emergency calls. So with many alerts of false speed and false altitude, an human override reaction would be in my opinion simply to put thrust at something known for a decent speed, and keep nose at horizon. Having a gps on board for altitude (even a portable one) would give enough precision to keep going up to europe. Knowing roughly wind speed from air traffic controler for a specific altitude, and speed given from a gps, pilot have enough information to stay in a safe zone (speed/altitude) to be able to finish his route to europe and/or goes back to bresil. The flight could have taken twice the normal time, but alive maybe...
In my opinion, pitot tube slowly get stuck with ice, autopilot push thruster more and more to get the right indicated speed, and the plane overspeed. Probably both pilots didn't disengage autopilot since they were in turbulence and the overspeed vibration was tought as normal turbulence. Normal behaviour is, especially at night, to beleive your instruments. Then overspeed comes and the wings breaks or some part of the place breaks and the plane went into a fatal 35000 feet plunge.
I wonder if overspeed near sound speed would make the front window to explode first, explaining no emergency calls.

Re:fairness (872 comments)
It's not because it's used since 30 years+ that TCP is so great. Does VHS was better than Beta? Making a home made TCP over UDP isn't especially complicated ; especially when you have no obligation to get packets in the right order, and that you can retry if you get a missed packet. I think the best of both world would be to use a FTP like scheme : one tcp channel to do control, and UDP packets for file content. If the TCP get throttled, this is not a big deal since there will be not so much data on it.

Bombs (465 comments)
This antimatter creation could lead to a bomb device capable of very big destruction, without radioactive creation. This would make possible attack on countries that US would not have attack considering the country spoilage due to radiations. Yes they didn't create a lot of antimatter, but you can do that all day long until you have a mass enough to create the bomb. For conceiling, magnetic field should be enough. And there is possibility of using this into munitions, like a little magnetic sphere holding the antimatter, when crushed into something simply explode.
War, I'm against war! (333 comments)
In fact I'm totally against war. But if war has to be, this tool can be cool. You can put a remote grenade inside of this little gadget, and if there is people where it lands, you detonate it. So it's maybe a little expensive grenade, but can be pretty usefull in some situation. The cool part is that you can reuse it in case it lands where nobody was. But hey, I'm against war.
I seriously don't understand... (125 comments)
There is a ton of places, like any northern places in Canada, where electricity is cheap and is really cool nearly all year long. I could think about Quebec province, in Canada. Electricity is approximatly 5 cents (canadian) per kw.h (like 4 cents US$) and it would cost nothing to cool down as much server as you want. Maybe some company already have such datacenters, but I could think about some google / microsoft datacenter going to canada, to save on electricity bills and cooling.

Tabata And Cedeno Hitting Nicely
A full Saturday night of action in the winter leagues:
Tiburones de La Guaira 9, Tigres de Aragua 5 — Three runs in the bottom of the 8th put the game out of reach for Los Tigres. Aragua put their first run on the board in the top of the 1st, when SS Ronny Cedeno singled, and came around to score on a wild pitch. Los Tiburones took the lead with 2 runs in the bottom of the inning and added their third run in the 2nd. Los Tigres tied the score in the top of the 5th. A single and two walks (one to 1B Hector Gimenez) loaded the bases, then back-to-back sacrifice flies (one by LF Lastings Milledge) brought in two runs. The tie did not last long — two doubles and a 2-run homer gave the lead back to La Guaira in the bottom of the frame. Aragua got within one run again in the 6th, with a walk, a passed ball, an RBI single by Gimenez and an RBI ground out, but it wasn't enough when La Guaira scored again in their last at-bat. Cedeno singled again in the 8th, and was hit by a pitch. Gimenez walked twice more in the game, and C Raul Chavez singled and walked twice.
Navegantes del Magallanes 6, Caribes de Anzoategui 5 — Two singles and a 2-RBI double in the bottom of the 9th gave Los Navegantes the walk-off win. Los Caribes were onto the scoreboard first with a solo homer in the 2nd. Magallanes scored 3 unearned runs in the bottom of the 3rd, on two errors, three wild pitches by Caribes' starter Chris Hayes, two walks, and a single. Magallanes added a run in the 4th, on two more walks and a single. LF Jose Tabata led off the top of the 6th for Los Caribes with a double. A single and a ground out drove in Tabata, then a walk, two singles, and a wild pitch gave Los Caribes 3 more runs, for a 5-4 lead. Corey Hamman relieved the Magallanes' pitcher, and ended the 6th inning with a strikeout. He went on to pitch two more scoreless innings, allowing only one hit, with a total of 3 strikeouts. Tabata singled again and stole second base in the top of the 9th, but was left on base.
Aguilas de Zulia 3, Bravos de Margarita 2 — Jhonathan Ramos suffered the loss for Los Bravos. He had entered the game to finish the bottom of the 7th with a ground out, and the bottom of the 8th began with a batter reaching on a fielding error. A single and a triple brought in 2 runs for Zulia to break a 1-1 tie. Margarita scored an unearned run in the top of the 9th, but a double play ended the game before they could tie the score again.
Noris and Latimore Going Strong
Just a few game results for the Pirates' players and friends in Thursday's winter league action:
Venados de Mazatlan 3, Yaquis de Obregon 1 — Los Venados' bats were quiet until the 5th inning, when LF Rogelios Noris followed a one-out walk with a double, giving Mazatlan 2 runners in scoring position. A single by SS Heber Gomez drove in both runners. Obregon got one of the runs back in the top of the 6, but Mazatlan added an insurance run in the bottom of the inning with two singles and a sacrifice fly. CF Jeff Salazar walked twice for Obregon but did not score.
Perth Heat 9, Adelaide Bite 3 — The Bite posted 12 hits, but could only score in one inning, and the Heat sealed their win with a 5-run 8th inning early on Friday morning. Adelaide tried to threaten in the bottom of the 1st. With a runner on 1st after a single and a grounder force out at second, LF Quincy Latimore grounded to third, which resulted in another force out at second, but Latimore safe at first. But Latimore was picked off first to end the inning. Latimore doubled in the 4th inning, but was left on base, as were Bite baserunners in the 2nd, 5th, and 7th innings. Latimore singled in the 6th, but that time he was erased in a double play. Finally in the 8th inning, a double and two singles brought in one run for Adelaide. Latimore followed with another grounder force out at second, which drove in a run and again left Latimore on first base. Another double let him score from first, and that was all the runs Adelaide would score. Perth scored 2 runs in the 2nd on a home run, and 2 more in the 5th on three singles, a walk, and a sacrifice fly. Adelaide pitching fell apart in the top of the 8th, when four walks and a wild pitch aided a double and two singles to bring in 5 runs.
Claggett Takes A Loss; Homers For Cedeno And Gimenez
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Everyone has probably seen that Zach Duke has been traded to Arizona for a player to be named later.
Also, former Pirate Bryan Bullington, who was removed from the Kansas City Royals' 40-man roster last week, was released by the Royals yesterday. Then Bullington signed a contract to play in Japan for the Hiroshima Toyo Carp for 2011.
Cheering for Pirates' players and friends in the winter leagues on Wednesday…..
Tiburones de La Guaira 4, Bravos de Margarita 1 (Game 1) — This was supposed to be a 7-inning game, but the score was still tied at 1-1 after 7. A bases-loaded walk forced in Los Bravos' run in the bottom of the 1st. Los Tiburones tied the score with a run on a single, a ground out, and another single in the 3rd. Anthony Claggett had pitched a scoreless 7th inning — he gave up a single, but then picked the base runner off first. But he started the top of the 8th with a single and a sacrifice bunt, and was then relieved. The next pitcher loaded the bases with a pair of walks, then he was relieved too. Two singles and a sacrifice fly brought in 3 runs for Los Tiburones, with the first one charged to Claggett, making him responsible for the loss. Margarita won the second game 3-0, holding Los Tiburones to just 3 hits in the 7-inning game. Former Pirate farmhand Ronald Belisario allowed one of the hits along with a walk in the 7th inning, earning his 8th save.
Tigres de Aragua 7, Navegantes del Magallanes 5 — Both SS Ronny Cedeno and 1B Hector Gimenez hit 2-run homers for Los Tigres in this win. Gimenez's blast got Aragua going in their 4-run 1st inning, and Cedeno's homer made the score 6-1 in the 2nd inning. Gimenez also doubled in the game. CF Jorge Cortes walked and scored for Los Tigres, and C Raul Chavez was 0-for-3 at the plate.
Puerto Rican and Mexican Pacific League Recaps
Pirates' infielder Benji Gonzalez is on the roster for Los Gigantes de Carolina in the Puerto Rican League. He has not been seeing a lot of playing time, but he did get into the game on the 17th, starting at second base. Gonzalez went 0-for-4 and struck out 3 times. Los Indios de Mayaguez beat Los Gigantes 6-5.
Ramon Vazquez has not been playing a lot either. He was at third base for Los Criollos de Caguas on Sunday, and went 0-for-3 with 2 walks. He led off the 4th inning with a walk, and he later scored when another walk with the bases loaded forced him in from third base. Carolina beat Caguas 5-4, when a hit batter forced in the winning run in the bottom of the 10th.
Vazquez went 1-for-3 on Tuesday night, as Los Criollos beat Los Senadores de San Juan 4-1. Caguas scored 2 runs in the bottom of the 1st. Former Indy Indian SS Luis Figueroa singled with one out, then moved to second base on a passed ball. Vazquez walked, then an RBI single plated Figueroa and put Vazquez on third. A sacrifice fly brougth in Vazquez. Figueroa had his second single of the game in the 3rd inning, and he scored on an RBI double. Both Figueroa and Vazquez singled with two outs in the 7th, but that time they were both left on base. A solo home run gave Los Criollos their final run in the 8th. San Juan scored their one run in the top of the 5th.
Pirates' Rogelios Noris has not gotten into any games for his hometown Venados de Mazatlan in the Mexican Pacific League since he pinch-ran and scored in the game against Guasave on the 14th.

Hello everyone,
I have an upcoming trip and will be staying at the Contemporary for my first time. I got a cheap(er) room in the Garden Wing, but am hoping to get a Tower upgrade upon checking in as I'm going during a slow time of year.
I have seen many photos online of the newly renovated rooms, but everyone always shows pics of Tower rooms. Is there any difference in rooms (I'm not talking about view, strictly rooms themselves), such as size, layout, quality of furnishings, bathrooms, etc.?
I don't want to go with Tower room expectations and be let down if I don't get the upgrade, know what I mean? :grin:
Thanks in advance!

Winston-Salem & Greensboro
Winston-Salem, Greensboro and High Point make up the Piedmont Triad cities of North Carolina. This whole region of North Carolina from Asheville to Raleigh has many fine visual arts galleries, sculpure and crafts outlets.
Winston-Salem, a gracious southern city where tabacco was once king, has impressive art museums, a symphony orchestra, a film festival, the internationally respected North Carolina School of the Arts, and the world-famous National Black Theatre Festival each August. Don't miss Old Salem Museum & Gardens, a living history museum. Founded in 1766 as a backcountry trading center, it's a fascinating look into colonial life.
Greensboro, which became a textiles as well as tobacco center after the Civil War, has experienced a dramatic increase in downtown nightlife with numerous nightclubs, bars and restaurants. Other attractions include: the Carolina Theater, Triad Stage (Pyrle Gibson Theater), Blandwood Mansion, Center City Park, NewBridge Bank Park, Greensboro Historical Museum, and the Greensboro Cultural Center.
These cities have tight-knit gay communities, and although there are fewer gay clubs (as CO2 closed in Winston-Salem), the bars in Greensboro are lively with a broad mix of locals and plenty of events. More social options can be found in the nearby cities of the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Triangle, or down in Charlotte, with their larger gay scenes.
As in all of North Carolina, the bars are membership clubs to comply with NC State ABC law. Members can sponsor you as a guest at the door. New memberships take 3 days. Locals are used to this, and will help visitors. Call ahead or check the bar website for the fine print.
Getting here
You'll probably fly into Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, or Raleigh-Durham International Airport. Both are just over an hour away.
Greensboro has Amtrak train service with connections to all major East Coast cities.

Sorry. I had to find a way to fit "Veni Vidi Vici" in. (Of course, that really means: I came, I saw, I conquered.)
But I have conquered germination of some western lily species; I have Lilium columbianum, kelloggii and parvum var. hallidayi on their way to producing their first tiny bulblet. |
Follow-Up Postings:
U R silly! Congrats on the lilium! My Martagon and formosanum are just swollen and waiting for something to happen.... and the xformolongi are all sleeping on their little dirt beds. Did you notice- they did not candle their seeds- and many seemed not to have embryos (is that the correct term?) I put them all in- and will hope for the best! P.S.- the bargain at Costco is good- but.... I chose the correct word..... |
My lilium martagon var. daugavense have been swollen for weeks, and no germination yet at 68F. They have been at 70-71F for this past week now and still nothing. I think I need to try a 60-62F now. They sure are stubborn. I may just have to go back to the traditional 2 year cycle with these. Not that you are, but don't worry at all about those perhaps not being candling. I hear more and more from seasoned hybridizers that seed they thought had no chance, sprouted just the same. Those little lines aren't always as easy to see as most of the time. Sometimes they hide at the edge of the embryo. It is really deceiving. |
I have my lily seeds (I understand from you, Rick - via Julie) in a pot, I have no idea what the temp is but it's below a window (actually the only place that made any sense in my entire house to put it was at the base of my passiflora because it's pot is so large and would remind me to water them. Nothing showing - but I'm patient, it can stay there all summer if it has to! Besides I still have extra seeds to try something in fall again. If all else fails I'll plant some outside this fall where my other lilies keep falling over and reseeding themselves - and actually succeeding naturally! -Marie |

Does Lilium philadelphicum (Prairie Lily) count? I have some of these seeds in my winter sowing. |

Leaderboard: Playing same gender vs. opposite gender {Massively}
Mar 6th 2012 12:19PM It also depends for me. I usually tend to play same gender at first and will usually pick one "Dude" I somehow relate to more to be my "main" and then I'll roll a female, but I have usually a hard time taking her seriously because a lot of games, when you want to make your female toon sexy. she ends up looking either sleezy, weak or both. The Major exceptions are super-hero Mmos where female wear almost nothing but there is nothing remotely sexual about it. They are hard as nails, even in spandex. Otherwise I sometimes feel odd and dare I say it, a bit perv tbh.

Nov 29th 2011 11:47AM I'll answer your question with another. Is there a portal to Blackwing Descent? They put portals for CoT in Shatt and Dalaran because it was on another continent and so far in this expansion, the portals only lead to questing zones so you take those to go to TFW, BoT or Firelands ..and now Dragon Soul (Uldum, TH, Hyjal and Uldum again respectively)

Shifting Perspectives: 4 tips for intermediate ferals {WoW}
Nov 21st 2011 12:11PM There are clickers in the top guilds in the world. Clicking is totally fine and barely noticeable for healers, ranged DPS and even tanks but melee will suffer. You just have to develop your playstyle around it, like keybinding. But clicking in top-end PvP is suicide and there's no denying that.
TL;DR -- Clicking= Fine as long as: you're doing pve on a ranged character and you know your limitations. Keybinding = Mandatory for competitive PvP.
Encrypted Text: My rogue wish list for Mists of Pandaria {WoW}
Nov 16th 2011 12:39PM I don't see why one would prefer Death grip over shadowstep (if you can't have both) PVE wise, unless you're tanking, DKs don't use DG (or very rarely, and usually on demand). Even in PvP, Grip of Shadow as you call it would be a total waste, why bring someone in FRONT of you in pvp when you can teleport in its back? Also, rogues being melee, the squishiest one at that (every class has defensive cooldown, it does not mean you should tank for 5 sec.. Why taunt something? Healers shouldn't be near you (if you feel like protecting one that has aggro) and Tanks should taunt, not rogues. Anyone who plays a tank knows that when someone tries to do your job, you get irritated, so please don't assume it's all fine. Furthermore, unless you're unholy, DKs run way slower than a rogue (even one stealthed) so DG is the only thing with Chains of Ice they have to close the gap. Rogues have theirs and don't need another one. If they do, give all DKs a stun or two and you'll soon regret having DG. Death grip on a rogue makes no sense at all to me. none. If Shadowstep had a talent like Double-time for warrior's charge, I could get "behind" that idea.

He never made it past 15...and never left Mulgore either (what's the Barrens?) good times... I later made a bunch of other classes until I clicked with a mage. I now play all classes...except rogues, I never could play a rogue. I have a strong conscience, lol.

The SHLB Coalition promotes government policies and programs to enable schools, libraries, health care providers, other anchor institutions and their communities to obtain open, affordable, high-speed, broadband connections to the Internet.
The SHLB Coalition seeks to improve the quality of life of people across the United States by improving access to educational, informational, medical, public safety and other essential services available over the Internet. Deploying high-capacity broadband to community anchor institutions -- libraries, schools, health care facilities, community colleges and other colleges, museums, community centers and others -- is critically important to our national well-being.
The Schools, Health and Libraries Broadband (SHLB) Coalition was created in 2009 in Washington, D.C. to help address the shortage of adequate broadband for anchor institutions and their communities. ["SHLB" is pronounced "shell-bee"] The SHLB Coalition is a broad-based organization of anchor institutions, commercial and non-profit broadband providers, foundations, public interest groups, and others that work together to develop and support policies to improve broadband connectivity for anchor institutions and their communities in all regions of the country – urban, suburban and especially rural.
The SHLB Coalition is founded on the belief that, in a world of limited financial resources, deploying broadband networks to serve anchor institutions is a cost-efficient investment in our nation's future. Deploying broadband to anchor institutions can improve broadband access to millions of people (low-income, elderly, migrants, etc.) who may not otherwise have access to the Internet. Anchor institution personnel can train people about broadband services and technologies, thereby stimulating broadband usage and demand. Furthermore, high-capacity "Middle Mile" broadband networks serving community anchor institutions can be used as "jumping off points" to serve surrounding residential and business consumers. Building high-capacity broadband to community anchor institutions has a multiplier effect that generates tremendous "bang for the buck."

CAIRO - As Muslim children around the world get new clothes and sweets for `Eid Al-Fitr, Gaza children find themselves compelled to work longer hours to capitalize on the opportunity to make extra money during the Muslim feast.
Neither I nor my brothers bought clothes or stuff [for `Eid] since there is no time or money for joy or happiness in our house, 12-year-old Ahmad Hussain told Gulf News on Saturday, August 18.
`Eid Al-Fitr is one the two main Islamic religious festivals along with `Eid Al-Adha.
`Eid Mubarak! (Special Coverage)
All About `Eid Al-Fitr
When is Your `Eid?
Muslims Celebrate `Eid Al-Fitr Sunday
Gazans along with the majority of Muslim countries will celebrate the feast on Sunday, August 19, marking the end of the holy fasting month.
During `Eid days, families and friends exchange visits to express well wishes and children, wearing new clothes bought especially for `Eid, enjoy going out in parks and open fields.
After special prayers to mark `Eid Al-Fitr, festivities and merriment start with visits to the homes of friends and relatives.
Traditionally, everyone wears new clothes for `Eid, and the children look forward to gifts and the traditional `ediya (cash).
Across the Muslim world, it is also a tradition to buy new clothes and toys for children before Eid Al Fitr.
Candies and other sweets are also given as gifts.
However, the case was not the same for Hussain who stands in Al Saha square, one of the biggest markets in the Gaza Strip, from dawn to dusk to sell his treats.
We can barely provide [for our] necessities, he said.
`Eid Under Siege
The absence of `Eid Al-Fitr joy was not an exception, being another version of previous feasts for Hussain.
I actually don't remember celebrating any previous `Eids, he told Gulf News on Saturday.
I've always had to work on Eid because my family is very poor. My father does labor work only a couple days a week.
Israel has clamped a severe blockade on Gaza since Hamas was voted to power in Gaza in 2006 and the capture of an Israeli soldier by Hamas in a cross-border raid.
The siege was further tightened after Hamas assumed full control of the strip in 2007.
The crippling siege has badly worsened livelihood in the impoverished seaside strip.
The situation further deteriorated after Israel launched a three-week deadly offensive in late 2008, killing more than 1,400 people and injured thousands and left the strip in tatters.
The siege leaves most Gazans cut off from the outside world and struggling with desperate poverty.
Falling victims to Israeli siege, children stepped in to help their struggling families, selling trinkets and candies on the streets.
Last year a report from the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics said that nearly 50,000 children are working in the Gaza Strip.
I have four younger siblings to support, Hussain said.

I really wanted to like this mousse as I'm a big fan of Marc Anthony products in general, but I've used it 4 times now and have never been thrilled with the results. My hair is 2c wavy so I've tried scrunching with this twice now and have ended up with dry looking, crunchy curls both times. I've also tried using this when I straighten my hair and it doesn't give me much hold when I round brush my hair (still have to use a flat iron, which is not the case when I use Tresemme mousse). I don't like the way it makes my hair feel on 2nd day hair either...sadly, this product just a big fail in general for me :(

Facial Cleanser, 4 PHA is a standard, detergent-based, water-soluble cleanser with 4% PHA (polyhydroxy acid). Even though this doesn't contain much of the acid ingredient, it can still be a concern in a cleanser that may get into the eyes. Still, the pH of this cleanser isn't so acidic that it the PHA ingredients will cause intense stinging or burning if they get in the eyes. The real reason to think twice about this cleanser is its price for such an ordinary formula. It works, but so do many other cleansers at the drugstore that sell for under $10.
This oil-free and soap-free, non-drying cleanser, containing 4% PHA (gluconolactone), is the perfect first step in your daily skin care regimen. It is suited for all skin types including dry and sensitive skin. It is a mild yet effective cleanser that moisturizes while it gently exfoliates the skin to thoroughly clean and remove makeup without stripping essential oils.
Water, Gluconolactone, Triethanolamine, Polyquaternium-10, Propylene Glycol, PEG-80 Sorbitan Laurate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycine, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Panthenol, Sodium Chloride, Propylparaben, Methylparaben, Phenoxyethanol
Exfoliation is the name of the game for this line! The original NeoStrata and Exuviance brands were created by Drs. Eugene Van Scott and Ruey Yu, the two researchers who own the original patent (actually, they hold over 80 patents) for the use of glycolic acid (AHA) in relation to its ability to diminish wrinkles, among other capabilities. Few lines offer reliable and effective formulations for exfoliation, so those that do deserve your attention. Well-formulated AHA products are those that have an effective concentration of AHAs and a base with an acidic pH that allows them to have maximum benefit. The exfoliation that AHAs provide reduces the thickness of the skin's outer layer, helping skin to quickly look smoother and feel softer, which in turn can solve many skin problems, including dryness, blemishes, sun damage, and skin discolorations. A good deal of research also shows that AHAs can help increase the thickness of the underlying layers of skin, improve skin structure, increase collagen production, and allow penetration of other skin-care ingredients. Moreover, NeoStrata is one of the only companies to sell a range of reliable sunscreens that also contain effective AHA formulations.
Both the Exuviance (Exuviance products are reviewed separately), NeoCeuticals and NeoStrata lines contain glycolic acid (AHA), but even more of these products contain a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) called gluconolactone (also patented by Scott and Yu), and for which similar claims are made. Gluconolactone is supposed to be gentler and longer acting than glycolic acid, and its delayed penetration is attributed to its larger molecular size. However, according to an article in Cosmetic Dermatology (July 1998), the skin can't tell the difference between the various effective AHAs, and the possibility of gluconolactone staying on the surface of skin longer than other AHAs did not prove out. So in terms of exfoliation and potential side effects, PHA ends up being as good as AHA. Gluconolactone may be slightly less irritating for some skin types, but this isn't quite the magic bullet for exfoliation NeoStrata claims, though it does indeed work when properly formulated (but so do glycolic and lactic acids). Another PHA NeoStrata uses is lactobionic acid. However, there is no definitive, published research establishing it as an effective alternative to (or partner for) other AHAs or BHA.
Beyond the numerous products that exfoliate (which is NeoStrata's main selling point) there's not much to get excited about, especially for what the company is charging. And it's upsetting that a dermatologist-driven, physician-sold line still has weak spots such as the occasional inclusion of irritating ingredients with no established benefit for skin and, believe it or not, a sunscreen that leaves skin vulnerable to UVA damage. NeoStrata has their act together when it comes to AHAs and PHA, but that tunnel vision has, in some respects, kept them from branching out to offer a better assortment of state-of-the-art products.
For more information about NeoStrata, call (800) 225-9411 or visit www.neostrata.com.
Note: NeoStrata's range of products is advertised as being available only through physicians. However, the entire selection is available for purchase online. The Exuviance brand is sold in select department stores and specialty beauty boutiques such as Ulta.
Caution: Keep in mind that skin needs only one reliable exfoliant at a time. NeoStrata sells so many good ones, you may be tempted to double (or triple) up, but doing so can backfire and be more irritating than helpful.

Planning for the February Legislative Session
While Oregon legislators are planning for their Christmas and New Year holiday celebrations, they also have February on their calendars.
That's when they will return to Salem for the first official "annual legislative session," which voters enabled when they changed the Oregon Constitution at the November 2010 general election.
Legislators experimented with annual sessions in 2008 and 2010 in an approach that some observers thought violated the Constitution.
Lawmakers arrive in Salem February 1 and probably will finish the session by March 5 or thereabouts — if, for other reason, than that the 2012 election filing day deadline is March 6, an event usually held in the House chamber.
At the moment, several major issues are on the February legislative agenda:
- The next steps in Governor Kitzhaber's plan for education reform, which revolves around creating an Education Investment Board to oversee all of education from kindergarten through graduate school. The governor also envisions hiring an "education czar." The proposals remain controversial, especially in light of the recent dust-up between the State Board of Higher Education (which would go away with creation of the Education Investment Board) and supporters of now-fired University of Oregon President Richard Lariviere. In addition, many observers wonder how the governor will pull off the huge organizational changes, which include diminishing the role of the elected superintendent of public instruction, at a time when state money is drying up.

Cyberbotics' Robot Curriculum/Intermediate programming Exercises
In the previous chapter, you learned to manipulate the e-puck devices in detail by using the C programming. You have now the technical background to start this new chapter about the robotic behavior. Different techniques will be used to program the e-puck behavior. Notably, you will see that your robot has a memory.
Program an Automaton [Intermediate][edit]
During this exercise, you will convert an FSM of the chapter Beginner programming Exercises in the C programming. First, a simple example will be given, a new version of the exercise Simple Behavior: Finite State Machine. Then, you will create your own FSM. It will be a new version of the exercise Better Collision avoidance Algorithm.
Open the World File[edit]
Open the following world file:
You should observe the same world as in the section Simple Behavior: Finite State Machine.
An Example of FSM[edit]
According to the figure Sensors_to_actuators_loop.png, the main loop of your program should always execute its instructions in the following order:
- Obtain the sensor values
- Treat these values according to the expected behavior
- Sends commands to the actuators
In our case, the behavioral part of the robot is modeled using an FSM.
[Q.1] Locate in the given C programming code where are these 3 points. Explain what operations are performed in each of these points.
[Q.2] Describe how the FSM is implemented, i.e., how the current state is modeled, which control structure is used, what kind of instructions are performed in the states, what are the conditions to switch from a state to another, etc.
Create your own FSM[edit]
[P.1] By using an FSM, implement a wall following algorithm. (Hint: start to design the structure of the automaton and then find how the transitions are fired and finally set up parameters empirically.)
*Lawn mower* [Intermediate][edit]
In this optional exercise, you will discover another topic of the robotic: the exhaustive research, i.e., your e-puck will move on a surface having an unknown shape, and will have to pass by every place. A cleaning robot or an automatic lawn mower is a typical application of this kind of movement. There are different ways to treat this topic. This exercise presents two of them: the random walk and the walk "by scanning".
The random Walking[edit]
Open the following world file:
You should see a grassy board with a white hedge. For the moment, the robot controller is the same as this of the previous exercise, i.e., a simple FSM which lets return your e-puck when it meets a wall. In this subsection, you will create a random walk.
When your e-puck meets a wall, it must spin on itself and go in another direction as depicted in figure below. The next figure depict a possible automaton for a random walk.
For generating a random integer between 0 and X, import the standard library (#include <stdlib.h>) and the time library (#include
