Mercer and Curry Homer; Boyer And Sinkbeil Sign
Both the Curve and the Power played early games today….
Altoona Curve 3, Harrisburg Senators 2
A fielding error by the Senators in the bottom of the 7th gave the Curve the win, and a split of this rain-shortened series with Harrisburg. Jeff Locke got the start for the Curve, and he buzzed through his first 6 innings. A runner who reached base on SS Jordy Mercer's throwing error in the 1st was promptly picked off and caught stealing, and a runner who singled in the 2nd was erased with a double play. A hit batter in the 5th was left stranded.
The Curve also were quiet for most of the first 5 innings. 1B Miles Durham walked to lead off the 2nd, but was also eliminated in a double play. Their only threat was when three walks, to Locke, 2B Brock Holt, and CF Starling Marte, loaded the bases for the Curve in the 3rd. But a pop out ended the inning with all three left on base.
The Curve got onto the scoreboard in the bottom of the 6th. Holt led off the inning with a double into right field on a ball that was deflected off the Harrisburg pitcher Erik Davis. Holt moved to third base on a ground out by Marte. Then Mercer blasted a home run over the left field wall to give the Curve a 2-0 lead. The Curve loaded the bases after the homer, on singles by Durham and LF Quincy Latimore, then another single by 3B Jeremy Farrell off a new relief pitcher who is familiar: Jimmy Barthmaier. With the bases loaded, Barthmaier struck out C Eric Fryer, then ended the inning with a ground out by RF Brad Chalk.
The Senators returned the favor in the top of the 7th. Locke got one out, then gave up a double and a single, putting runners on the corners. He was relieved by Tom Boleska, who began by throwing a wild pitch, which allowed the runner from third to come across the plate. A single again gave Harrisburg runners on the corners, and a sacrifice fly brought in the tying run — both runs charged to Locke.
With two outs in the bottom of the 7th, Marte singled into left field. He stole second base, then came around to score when Harrisburg's right fielder Archie Gilbert made a fielding error on Mercer's fly ball. The Curve held on to that narrow lead for the next two innings. Michael Dubee retired the side in order with three grounders in the top of the 8th. Noah Krol gave up a single in the 9th, but got three more ground outs, earning his 4th Save of the season.
Cain Throws Six Scoreless Innings
Sunday's action in the Pirates' lower minor leagues:
West Virginia Power 7, Augusta Green Jackets 0
Three Power pitchers powered up to shut out the Green Jackets. Colton Cain made the start and earned his first win of the season. He allowed just one hit and one walk in 6 innings. Cain retired the first 9 Augusta batters in order, then gave up both the hit (a double) and a walk to begin the bottom of the 4th. A double play and a pop out got Cain out of that little jam, then he retired 6 more batters to end his outing. Kevin Decker allowed a single in each of his two innings, but maintained the shutout. Ryan Beckman gave up two singles in the 9th, but left both on base to end the game.
The Power began their scoring with an unearned run in the top of the 2nd. C Elias Diaz reached on a fielding error in right field, then advanced to third base on RF Dan Grovatt's single. 2B Kevin Mort brought Diaz in with a sacrifice fly. Grovatt led off the 5th with a walk. He was forced out at second on Mort's grounder, though Mort avoided the double play and was safe at first. LF Andy Vasquez plated Mort with a triple into right field.
The 6th was the big inning for the Power. CF Mel Rojas and 1B Matt Curry started the frame with back-to-back singles, and after two outs, Diaz walked to load the bases. Another walk to Grovatt forced in Rojas, then Mort drove in Curry and Diaz with a line drive single into center field. The Power tacked on another run in the 7th, when SS Gift Ngoepe doubled, Rojas singled (his third hit of the game), and a fielder's choice on Curry's ball let Ngoepe score. It was Curry's turn to double in the 9th, and he scored on Avila's RBI single.
Curve Win Home Opener; Four RBI For Baker
Altoona Curve 2, Richmond Flying Squirrels 0
The Altoona Curve put on a pitching demonstration in their home opener, as four pitchers combined for a shut-out and held the Squirrels to just 3 hits. Aaron Thompson made the start, and he dominated Richmond. Thompson retired the first 10 batters he faced. He gave up a walk in the 4th inning, but left that runner on base. He gave up a triple to lead off the 5th, but a grounder to third let 3B Jeremy Farrell fire the ball back to C Tony Sanchez, who tagged out the runner at the plate. Thompson had to work around a single and a fielding error in the 6th, but after a sacrifice bunt, two timely strikeouts got him out of that jam. Thompson also struck out 5 batters in his second win of the season.
The Curve posted 8 hits, and 3 of those were singles by RF Brad Chalk, who had been off to a slow start for the season (1-for-16). He singled in the 3rd, the 6th, and the 8th, though he didn't score. Altoona scored their first run in the 4th, when Sanchez led off with a walk, then scored all the way from first base on 1B Miles Durham's double into center field. SS Jordy Mercer belted a home run over the left field wall in the 5th inning for the Curve's second run. That was all the offense that was needed. The Curve put two runners on base in the 6th, when Chalk singled and pinch-hitter Kris Watts was hit by a pitch, but both were left on base. They threatened in the 7th, when CF Starling Marte led off with a single into right field and stole second base. He moved to third on a ground out, and tried for home when Sanchez grounded to third, but was thrown out at the plate on a play similar to what the Curve did to the Squirrels in the 5th. Sanchez and LF Quincy Latimore also had singles in the game.
Mike Colla, Michael Dubee, and Noah Krol each pitched a scoreless inning of relief for the Curve. Krol allowed one hit in the 9th, but left that base runner on, and earned his 3rd Save.
Morris Shines For Curve; Marauders Blast Jupiter
Three wins for the Pirates' lower minor league teams on Tuesday:
Altoona Curve 2, Akron Aeros 0
(box score)
Starter Bryan Morris threw 6 shutout innings to lead the Curve over the Aeros in Akron. Morris scattered 4 hits and a walk, while striking out 3 for his first win of the season. The only real trouble he had was in the bottom of the 1st, when rehabbing Grady Sizemore began the inning with a walk. After two grounder force outs, a single, Akron had runners on first and second. A single lined into center field had the runner from second charging for home, but CF Starling Marte fired in to C Eric Fryer, who tagged out the runner at the plate. Morris sailed through his remaining 5 innings, allowing just two more hits — singles in the 2nd and the 5th. Brian Leach, Michael Dubee, and Noah Krol each pitched one scoreless inning of relief. Leach and Dubee each allowed one walk, but Dubee struck out the other three batters he faced. Krol earned his second Save of the season.
Both of the Curve's runs scored in the 3rd inning. 3B Jeremy Farrell began the rally by being hit by a pitch. Fryer singled, and RF Jose Hernandez sacrifice bunted both runners into scoring position. 2B Brock Holt grounded to first, but a fielding error let him reach safely and gave Farrell the chance to score. An RBI grounder by Marte brougth in Fryer with the second run. Marte stole second base and moved to third on a wild pitch, but the inning ended before he could come around to score.
Marte singled after Holt walked in the 5th inning, and both Farrell and Fryer singled in the 7th, but neither of those threats yielded any runs. Farrell lined into right field in the 9th, and rounded second easily, but was thrown out when he tried to stretch it into a triple. He would have scored if he'd stopped at second, because Fryer followed with his own double. Fryer was 3-for-4 in the game, and Farrell went 2-for-3.
Thompson And Curve Get The Win
It's like they said in the movie "Bull Durham": some days you win, some days you lose, some days it rains. Again on Saturday, the Pirates' lower minor league affiliates experienced all three.
It rained again in West Virginia. The Power and the Savannah Sand Gnats will try for a double header again on Sunday. As best as I can tell, Friday's game has been "cancelled" and won't be made up.
The win:
Altoona Curve 6, Erie SeaWolves 2
(box score)
The Curve finally put one in the win column, as they out-hit the SeaWolves 14 – 3 on Saturday afternoon. All but one member of the starting line-up had at least one hit, and while C Eric Fryer didn't smack a hit, he contributed two walks and scored a run. CF Starling Marte, who had been hitless in the Curve's first two games, led the onslaught with 4 hits — 3 singles and a double. 2B Brock Holt, DH Kris Watts, and 3B Jeremy Farrell all had two hits, and Holt and Farrell each drove in two runs.
Erie scored the first run of the game in the bottom of the 1st, on an infield single by the first batter of the game, followed by a bunt and a balk by starter Aaron Thompson, and an RBI ground out. Thompson settled in after that, and did not allow another run nor another hit. He walked one and struck out two in his 6 innings of work.
The Curve tied the game in the 3rd inning. Fryer walked, then came around to score on a wild pitch. They took the lead in the 6th, when Marte doubled. SS Jordy Mercer singled, driving in Marte. Watts also singled, and he scored moments later when Farrell singled. RF Brad Chalk added another run in the 7th — he tripled, then came across the plate on Holt's RBI single. The Curve rallied again in the 8th, for two more insurance runs. Watts started with his second single. Farrell brought him home with a double, and Holt followed up with an RBI single to plate Farrell.
Reliever Brian Leach pitched a scoreless 7th inning and began the 8th, allowing a single. Michael Dubee took over for Leach, but the runner scored on an RBI single. Dubee also pitched a perfect 9th, earning his first save. Thompson earned the win.

A high-strength safety body structure and a large chassis offer excellent protection, every trip, every day.
Comfort and traction is optimized with the use of an independent double wishbone suspension on the front and half-oval steel leaf springs on the rear, plus gas shock absorbers. Driving confidence is thus assured for all speeds, on a straight road, on a curve, while empty and while loaded. This excellent setup works wonders in superbly supporting the vehicle in virtually all conditions.
Double SRS airbags and safety belts with pretesioner along with a strong body frame and a highly resistant chassis with cross members protect the passenger cabin from a collision from the side. The collapsible safety steering wheel reduces the force of impact to the chest in the event of a frontal collision. Laminated windshield retains shattered bits of the glass which would otherwise be dispersed as shards, hence effectively minimizing injury.
The highly durable body frame of Chevrolet Trailblazer is capable of withstanding even harsh bending forces. With the extra support beams inside of the door panels, impact force from a collision from the side is optimally absorbed, making the passenger cabin a safety zone. The chassis itself has been totally redesigned with special 'eight cross members' and a precise structural calculation to ensure optimum resistance against bending force. As a result, stability and traction operate at maximum both when the vehicle is empty and fully loaded.
The Chevrolet Trailblazer with its advanced four-wheel disc brake system gives you the desirable and class-leading sense of superior security
As the vehicle proceeds down a steep slope, simply activate the HDC and the system will have the engine and the brake working in unison automatically in order to limit the speed of the vehicle to the most appropriate level thus making the descent much safer.
The HSA prevents the car from rolling when trying to pull away on an up or down gradient. It still holds the car stationary after the brake is released giving the driver more safely.

Love the arbor. Good job. So, I'm not the only one who flirted with the idea of a painted brick walkway thru a garden? One year, I almost did that, only using a bright blue/green paint; but then I was worried it would not last long on brick. It's still in the back of my brain tho "on hold". |
I would like to see a closeup of your arbor at the entrance. I love it. |

Tune in alert for Discoverys #1 series "Gold Rush" which will end season three with Gold Rush LIVE, a first-ever live event that will reveal which crew struck it rich and hit the Mother Lode.
Hosted by series executive producer and host of The Dirt - Christo Doyle - its a no holds barred live event that will feature all the gold miners as they lay it all on the line.
The shocking mining plans for season four will also be revealed.
Special Two Hour Television Event Airs Live from Portland on February 22 at 8PM ET/PT
From Discovery
The Mother Lode - the origin of something valuable or in great abundance - has evaded the GOLD RUSH gold miners for three seasons. Todd Hoffman, Jack Hoffman, Dave Turin, Parker Schnabel, Fred Hurt and Jim Thurber are among the miners who have battled against equipment breakdowns, infighting and Mother Natures wicked ways at every turn in the pursuit of a golden pay day that had become an improbable dream. Until now. One GOLD RUSH crew finally strikes it rich as Discoverys current #1 series ends its third season with its first-ever live event, GOLD RUSH LIVE on Friday, Feb. 22 at 8PM ET/PT.
After three years of digging the glory hole, Dakota Fred continued his hunt for an ancient waterfall and started to see the best gold yet just as winter set in. Were his hopes of walking away a millionaire this season dashed by his crews inability to keep their equipment up and running? Parker Schnabel brought in a brand new crew and rebuilt his wash plant, but was family mine simply out of gold rush ground? And in this Do or Die season, Todd Hoffman set an ambitious 1,000 ounce goal. To get a million dollar pay day, he doubled down, securing two claims and twice the men and machines.
Was Todd able to right the wrongs of his past and finally hit if big? Hosted by Christo Doyle, Executive Producer of GOLD RUSH and host of THE DIRT, GOLD RUSH LIVE will be jammed packed with surprises and announcements and will reveal the miners shocking mining plans for Season Four.
And most importantly, the moment everyone has been waiting for. Each mining crew will finally reveal their total take in gold for the season during GOLD RUSH LIVE. Who will hit the mother lode, and who will fall short? These crews do not get along and for the first time ever in GOLD RUSH history we will bring all of the miners together to lay everything on the line live. There is no way to know what will unfold in GOLD RUSH LIVE.
GOLD RUSH viewers will have the opportunity to attend GOLD RUSH LIVE by entering the Gold Rush See It Live Sweepstakes which gives two viewers the chance to win an all-expense paid trip to attend the event. On the Feb. 8 episode of GOLD RUSH at 9PM ET/PT, a code will be given out and viewers can enter the code at www.goldrushgiveaway.com.
The winners will be announced during the Feb. 15 episode.

Good review, pos. I may or may not check this out as classick prog isn't really my thing but the review did make me want to look these guys up.
Album Rating: 4.0Thanks. Yeah, it does prove to be a very flowing, accessible piece of music. What I like about this album in particular is that it has a nice balance of classical influences and Progressive Rock, rather than merely using a few trumpet solos here and there. They aren't that well-known in the Progressive Rock scene of today, but as far as I know they are working on some new stuff.

Pumpkin Custard Pie Recipe
This recipe comes from Emeril Lagasse and was aired in 2007 on Emeril Live. The episode was Ultimate Thanksgiving.
There are three recipes I use from this one show every year, the bacon brussels sprouts, the brined herb roasted turkey, and this pumpkin custard pie.
This recipe is very silky and I just can't seem to get enough of this pumpkin pie. I know you will enjoy it. Thank you Emeril.
· 1 recipe Basic Sweet Pie Crust, recipe follows
· 2 cups canned pumpkin puree
· 1 cup light brown sugar
· 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
· 4 eggs, lightly beaten
· 1/2 cup heavy cream
· 1/4 cup whole milk
· 1/4 cup Steen's cane syrup
· 2 tablespoons bourbon
· 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
· 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra for dusting
· 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
· 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
· 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
· 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
· Whipped cream, for servingDirections:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Lightly dust a clean surface with flour. Roll the pie dough to a thickness of 1/8-inch and, working carefully, fit the rolled dough into a 10-inch deep dish pie plate. Either crimp the edges decoratively or trim the pastry so that it is even with the edge of the pie plate. Decorate the edge with leaf shapes cut from excess pastry dough, if desired. Refrigerate the shell for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight before proceeding.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Mix until well blended. Pour into the chilled pastry shell. Bake until the custard is set and the crust is lightly golden, 50 to 60 minutes.
Let the pie cool completely before serving. Serve with whipped cream and dust with cinnamon.

Roadside Samaritans
Those who have faced emergencies can tell you it is essential to get your first aid kit together and get familiar with first aid measures BEFORE you are confronted with an accident, emergency or sudden illness.
Many situations require fast and correct action to prevent further injury, infection or death. So assemble a first aid kit now, so that you'll be ready when you encounter an animal that needs immediate help.
Carry in your car or write on your first aid kit a list with the phone number for your vet, the closest emergency animal hospital, and poison control hotlines:
ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center 1-888-426-4435 or National Animal Poison Control Center 1-800-548-2423.
Your kit should contain the following items (click here for a printable version):
- One collar in each size; small, medium and extra large
- A nylon leash
- Adjustable Muzzle (an injured or scared animal may try to bite)
- Pet crate or carrier (a safe way to transport)
- Blanket (the compact thermal blanket works well)
- Towels (at least 2)
- Thick work gloves and/or Kevlar gloves
- Latex or Nitrile gloves
- Bottled water
- Bowl or other container to use for water
- Freeze-dried food from a camping store
- A board for transporting injured animals
- Nylon straps
- Tarp (for transport or protecting your seat)
- Travel first aid kit
- Anti-bacterial wipes or pads
- Hot/cold gel pack
- Paper towels
- Bandanna (many uses, including muzzling or securing a torn earflap)
- Strips of cloth
- Medical Tape
- Scissors
- Multi-tool
- Fence tool
- Knife
- Flashlight
- Emergency flares AND a reflective triangle
- Work boots (for navigating terrain)
- Trash bags
- Paper grocery bag (for small animals it is the simplest, most versatile tool providing a convenient-to-carry rescue tool. If possible, put a washcloth or towel at the bottom of the bag for the animal's comfort.)
Transporting an Injured Animal It is best not to move an injured animal too much until it is time to transport him for additional care, but sometimes the surrounding environment requires movement. If the animal is in the road or near a hazardous area, moving to a safer location is paramount. Remember to keep yourself safe first. Deciding the proper way to move an injured animal is based on the temperament of the animal and the possible injuries. ALWAYS apply a muzzle prior to transport. If a back, neck or spinal injury is suspected, try to place the injured animal on a board or other sturdy material to prevent further injury. |

Unreal bots beat Turing test: AI players are officially more human than gamers
Two AI bots have been judged to be more human than several human opponents in the video game equivalent of the Turing Test.
Sponsored by 2K Games, the BotPrize is an annual challenge in which international teams of programmers create 'intelligent' bots capable of passing themselves off as human players. The bots take part in a series of Unreal Tournament 2004 matches against an equal number of human players.
Every participant competes to win, but they also have a judging gun with which to tag their opponents as bots or humans. In this year's event, two bots achieved a 'humanness rating' of 52 per cent, exceeding the humanness rating of 40 per cent achieved by the actual human competitors. In short, the entrants have achieved the motto of Bladerunner's Tyrell Corporation: more human than human.
The winning bots were UT^2, programmed by Risto Miikkulainen, professor of computer science in the College of Natural Sciences, and Mirror Bot, by Romanian computer scientist Mihai Polceanu. According to New Scientist both won through a stratregy of mimicking the human players, watching behaviours and copying them in a sort of mirrored social interchange that the judges clearly found convincing. UT^2 was apparently slightly more complex because it also employed strategies recorded from dozens of real-life UT matches, linked with a learning model named neuroevolution in which successful strategies were bred to produce even more convincing human behaviours.
Phys.org puts it thus: "Networks that thrive in a given environment are kept, and the less fit are thrown away. The holes in the population are filled by copies of the fit ones and by their 'offspring,' which are created by randomly modifying (mutating) the survivors. The simulation is run for as many generations as are necessary for networks to emerge that have evolved the desired behavior".
The BotTest has been running since 2008, but this year's humanness ratings were twice those of 2011's. "When this 'Turing test for game bots' competition was started, the goal was 50 percent humanness," Miikkulainen told Phys.Org. "It took us five years to get there, but that level was finally reached last week, and it's not a fluke."
Of course, the winning entries at BotPrize are clever things, but in this context, the term AI is slightly disingenuous – they're designed to be believable rather than smart. In this sense, they're quite close to standard game AI agents, which usually aim to achieve three basic abilities – navigation, fallibility and avoidance – as cheaply as possible, via scripting, pathfinding and finite state machine algorithms. The term artificial stupidity is often used to describe how developers attempt to make bots more vulnerable by limiting their abilities. This can be achieved by the implementation of heuristic functions so that agents experience the game world in the same way as players – i.e. they're not given any extra data on where the player is apart from what they can 'see' or 'hear' within the constraints of their current position. The programmers of UT^2, for example, introduced constraints to ensure that the bot's accuracy was degraded during fast movements or while shooting over distances.
More intriguing perhaps was the fourth-placed entrant. Programmed by Zafeirios Fountas, an AI research student at ICL, Neurobot is actually an attempt to simulate human consciousness. "I was using the competition as a testbed for my research so from my point of view mimicry isn't as scientifically interesting," he tells us. "In our group we're using spiking neural networks. There are some mathematical models that simulate the way the real neurons in the brain work, so we're trying to make models of the brain functionality that are important for different reasons. In this case I was testing a theory which tries to explain how consciousness works in terms of a mechanism. I relied on the assumption that if a system becomes conscious then it might exhibit more human-like behaviour – I wanted to test this."
So what's the benefit of testing a neural network within a game environment? "Well, firstperson shooters provide very realistic and robust realtime environments – they are very similar to reality in many ways. And of course there's interaction with real people which is extremely important to us. We're trying to create real intelligence."
Fountas reckons that research into realistic human behaviours will be useful in a lot of situations, for example crowd behaviour simulators, which can be used in public safety planning, or in designing evacuation strategies for new buildings. "And more optimistically, there's the potential for personal companion robots," he adds. As for use in games, neural networks have largely been rejected in the past as far too complex and computionally hungry for practical use. But that may well change as processors become more powerful. "Isn't it important for games to create opponents that can understand you?" asks Fountas. "Simulating consciousness has way bigger potential because it is scaleable – once we have found the mechanisms that are responsible for intelligence in our brains, we can add neurons and enlarge the network to create smarter agents. This isn't possible with mimicry".
on the subject of where research into consciousness is going, Fountas pointed us toward the Blue Brain Project at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne which is attempting to completely map the human brain's neural network within five years. Sadly, we suspect the first implementation of this momentous discovery won't be more realistic enemies in Modern Warfare 5.

NEW YORK-Attendance at the 7 W New York showroom building during last week's New York Home Fashions Market rose by more than 15 percent over last year's spring market, according to MMPI, owner and operator of the building.
A total of 1,600 buyers visited 7 W during the week, including buyers from key retailers across a variety of retail channels of distribution. Each day of last week's market brought more than 300 buyers to the building, MMPI said.
"The spring home fashions market not only achieved our goals but well surpassed our expectations," said Chris Collins, 7 W's vice president and general manager. "For a market that attracts primarily larger retail buyers, it is typically unprecedented to have such significant increases in attendance, which makes this achievement so exciting for the building and our tenants."

There was a moment during the Lego Marvel Super Heroes demo when we genuinely glanced down at the supplied docs to check if it was running on a PS4. It wasn't - just the humble old Xbox 360.
The impressive sequence in question featured a gigantic, marauding Sand Man made up of thousands of swirling Lego blocks, each coming together to form skyscraper-sized arms and hands used to cinematically pummel Spider-Man and friends.
The scale and complexity of the battles here is dazzling, and considering the calibre of licenses in Marvel's catalogue - with more than 100 unlockable characters promised - we suspect epic action will be a major theme of TT Game's 12th Lego action effort.
Producer Phil Ring explained: "We knew there would come a point when the older generations and older technology was going to fall behind, and so we decided that this would be the game where we would really push things with bigger environments, bigger characters and more happening on screen.
"We're so lucky that we've got a team of people who know what they're doing and are constantly pushing our tech - it's all our own internal engine and they're constantly iterating, changing and optimising."
The larger scale theme kicks off immediately with The Hulk - one of the many new 'BIG-fig' characters in the game - liberally lobbing bits of pavement and parked cars, as an army of sand soldiers attack New York City.
TT explained that it wants Hulk and other BIG-fig characters to feel different - and more importantly they look fun to play. Stomping along the street outside Grand Central Station, the Green Goliath can pick up cars twice his size, smash through petrol tankers and walls, and even pull chunks of Lego out of the ground for lobbing.
Hulk eventually comes to blows with another super-sized toy, Abomination, and Ring promises a "whole raft" of similarly built powerhouses from the various Marvel families. "There might be some X-Men themed ones, Thor ones and stuff like that," he says. "There's going to be a huge cast of characters that we hope the Marvel fans in particular are going to really enjoy."
Along with the promise of a giant open-world NYC, another potentially enjoyable - if not totally defining - aspect of Lego Marvel looks to be the evolution of its character switching gameplay and the unique abilities of its superhero cast.
As Hulk stomps inside the battered Grand Central Station - mountains of sand spilling from every window - the player can, in Lego tradition, switch at any time to control the comparatively swift Iron Man.
Immediately it's clear that Tony Stark is a really different prospect to his big mate, as gameplay transitions almost into a third-person shooter. An on-screen reticule allows Iron Man to blast his enemies with a barrage of missiles, and he uses his hover boots to skim across the sandy floor like a Dancing on Ice champion.
Hulk too can transform at any time into his less colourful Bruce Banner form, allowing him to use scientific skill to construct advanced machinery and generally pick up things the lime goon's mitts can't grasp without crushing.
Soon a wall of sand blocks the pair's path, but Hulk shrinks down to Banner form to build and fire a water cannon at the obstacle, solidifying it enough for his larger form to smash through.
Skipping to a later sequence on the rooftops of the city, the emergence of a third character, Spider-Man, further emphasises the unique feel TT Games is aiming to inject into each Marvel celeb.

About Me Midrange Shopper
This table cloth is on my dining room table and I use it for everything except the most formal occasions. It's attractive, the color is muted (which is exactly what I wanted), and it's so easy to clean. With kids that is so important. I've used earlier versions of these table clothes and they last forever. A real bargain for beauty.

Colors are not the same!
By addie
from WY
I am returning these products. I ordered three tablecloths -- three different colors. None of them are the colors represented in the catalog photo. The green, which looks like a nice Christmas green, is more of an olive drab, the blue is definitely not the pretty blue in the photo and the burgundy is not an attractive color either. I didn't even take these out of the package.
Great tablecloth-just the right size.

In every part of our vast country you'll find unique experiences to make your dream holiday come true.
Sport is something of a national obsession in Australia. We're avid followers of 'footy', which covers everything from rugby union to the uniquely Australian AFL. We play backyard and beach cricket all summer and turn out in our thousands to watch the iconic Boxing Day test at Melbourne's MCG. Summer is also the season we become amateur commentators at our Grand Slam tennis tournament. We have lush, championship-designed golf courses across the country and host many premier golf events. Our marathons attract hundreds of thousands of runners and rev-heads everywhere know about our car racing events such as the Formula 1 Australia Grand Prix.
Australia's beloved 'footy' covers four codes, which can get a little confusing. Depending on who you're talking to and the state you're in, this could mean Australian Football League (AFL), Rugby League, Rugby Union or the soccer that most Europeans know as football! All codes command a strong, loyal fan base and share the same season from March to September.
If you see men in shorts leaping to great heights on a large arena with an oval ball, then you're probably watching a game of AFL or Australian rules football. Developed in Melbourne in the 19th century, AFL is Australia's premier spectator sport, and the most attended sporting league. Popularity is highest in Victoria, where it's practically a religion, but Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane also have passionately supported AFL teams. The league comprises 16 teams which play 22 home and away rounds between late March and September. The four-week finals series culminates in the Grand Final, one of the country's top sporting events.
Rugby League is a full contact ball sport, which branched out from Rugby Union in the early 20th century. The National Rugby League or NRL (Australia's premier Rugby League competition) is mostly played in Australia's eastern states, with most of the 16 teams are based in and around Sydney. The NRL season kicks off in early March and culminates with the grand final on the first Sunday of October. State of Origin is a best-of-three series between New South Wales and Queensland. It's held during the middle of the regular NRL competition, attracting sell-out crowds and huge TV audiences. There are also annual international games such as the Australia Vs New Zealand ANZAC Day test.
Australia's Rugby Union team is the Wallabies and each year – clad in green-and-gold - they compete with New Zealand and South Africa in the Tri-Nations Series. Their on-field battles with the New Zealand All-Blacks form the Bledisloe Cup, while the games with South Africa are part of the Mandela Challenge Plate. Every four years, Australia competes with rugby-playing nations from across the world in the Rugby World Cup. Seven former Australian players, including Nick Farr-Jones, have been inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame. Australia's state teams play with each other and New Zealand and South African teams in the Super 14s.
Australia's first national soccer team was formed in 1922 for a tour of New Zealand. In 1974, Australia made their first appearance at the World Cup finals in West Germany. Today the national team –the Socceroos – has several World Cups behind it and is gaining success on the international circuit. The Socceroos qualified for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa without losing a match. The whole nation will proudly be behind their progress through each round of the competition.
Each January Australia becomes the headquarters for international tennis, hosting a number of tournaments in the lead-up to the Australian Open. Kicking off the season is Perth's Hopman Cup, where eight top-ranking doubles teams compete for a tennis-ball trophy encrusted with Kimberley diamonds. In the first week of January, top male players warm up for the Australian Open at the Brisbane International. Female tennis stars hone their serves at the Moorilla Hobart International a week later. The tennis greats head to Sydney for the Medibank International, before Melbourne's Australian Open at the end of the month. It's the first of four Grand Slam tournaments, the others being the French Open, Wimbledon and US Open.
With more than 1,500 golf courses across Australia, it's no wonder golf is a popular leisure sport for Australians. We have both public and private courses, some which are champion-designed and many boasting spectacular views. Many courses are connected to luxurious resorts which offer 'stay and play' packages. Our top resorts are in southern Queensland, but Victoria, New South Wales and Western Australia also have acclaimed resorts. Australia's world-class players include Greg Norman, Geoff Ogilvy, Adam Scott and Karrie Webb. Our premier golf events are the Australian PGA Championship the Australian Masters and the Australian Open Golf.
Australians have played cricket for more than 200 years and it's one of our most popular sports. Over summer we play it at picnics, barbeques, beaches and parks. The Australian cricket team, with their trademark baggy green caps, is one of the world's top-ranking teams. The competition consists of Test series lasting from three to five days, One Day Internationals and the Twenty20 series. There is also the Ashes, where Australia and England compete for the charred remains of a wicket. Our most famous match is probably the one-day Boxing Day Test at Melbourne's MCG. Australia's cricket heroes include Sir Donald Bradman, Ritchie Benaud, the Chappell brothers, Waugh brothers, Shane Warne and Glen McGrath.
Car racing has a passionate following in Australia, which hosts a number of rubber-burning events. Each March, Melbourne's Albert Park is the venue for the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix. In April or May, elite drivers race around Tasmania for the Targa Tasmania – a five-day tarmac-based rally. Primed V8 Supercars hit the Gold Coast in October for the Nikon SuperGP (formerly the Indy 300). Much fanfare accompanies this high-adrenalin race along the Surfers Paradise Street Circuit. You'll also enjoy the buzz around the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1,000, held in Bathurst in October.
Marathons are big on Australia's sporting calendar, and most of these also feature half marathons, 10km and 5km races. The Great Ocean Road International Marathon happens in May and the popular Gold Course Airport Marathon draws distance runners from around the world in June. Each August, elite runners and thousands of Sydneysiders take part in City to Surf, a scenic 14km course between the city and Bondi Beach. The Sydney Running Festival happens in September, with different courses to suit different fitness levels. The 42km marathon travels from Milsons Point, over the Harbour Bridge and through Sydney's inner-west and CBD to Centennial Park.

"Maintaining Our Temples" is my kind of book. Sister Qaraandin captures the essence of the definition of dis-ease, and informs us of the path necessary for increased longevity. In fact, we can only maintain our temples by consuming the proper foods. This enlightened approach to healing our bodies leads to the rebuilding of our communities as well. We have the keys to unlock profound individual and group transformations from the hell of bad eating habits.
As the author notes,
"The healing power of a person lies within the person, not within the doctor, a pill, or a knife. The healing power of a community lies with the community, not within a ballot box,an executive order, or a referendum."
The power of choice is critical for the breaking of the bonds of culinary slavery.Over a decade ago, I became a vegetarian. However, my pre-veggie days were full of consuming all types of meats, wine, ice cream, butter, white rice and gallons of eggnog. Almost without warning, I suffered a grave diabetic attack; I was in the hospital for a week; then, I started insulin injections twice a day. What caused my body to malfunction? Wrong foods!I was informed by my colleague Professor Phyllis Washington that her aunt used insulin for sixty years. The prospect of becoming that type of addict frightened me. Another colleague, Dr. William Primus suggested I use huckleberry leaf tea for my condition. He noted his sister, a nurse, had great success with the tea in the treatment of her diabetic patients. The tea had a positive impact upon my system.I went back to the health food store and purchased literature on vegetarianism. Those reading materials changed my life.I was on a transition diet, about a year, from filthy meat consumption to a HARDCORE veggie lifestyle. My food became my medicine and my medicine became my food. It was food that transformed my body, and I became insulin independent. So for the last decade, I have existed without needles and shots. If I can do it,you can do it too. Remember your body is a Temple. Read deeply from this splendid little book and "eat" every page to commence a new life.

POINTS WITH ONE TO GO: Dale Earnhardt Jr., driver of the No. 88 National Guard Chevrolet SS, ranks fifth in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup standings on the strength of two pole positions, nine top-five finishes and 21 top-10s. With one race remaining in the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup season, Earnhardt trails leader and teammate Jimmie Johnson by 63 points.
AT HOMESTEAD: In 13 Sprint Cup starts at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Earnhardt has led 93 laps and recorded one top-10 finish and four top-15 results. He scored his best finish -- 10th -- at Homestead in the 2012 season finale.
CHASSIS CHOICE: This weekend, crew chief Steve Letarte and the No. 88 team will unload Hendrick Motorsports Chassis No. 88-822. Earnhardt first raced this chassis to an eighth-place finish at the 1.5-mile Kansas Speedway in October. Earnhardt tested this chassis at Homestead in October.
INTERMEDIATE TRACK STATS: In 243 Cup starts on intermediate (one- to two-mile) tracks, Earnhardt has recorded six wins, eight pole positions, 47 top-five finishes and 98 top-10s. On 1.5-mile tracks, such as Homestead, he ranks seventh among active drivers in top 10s (45) and 10th in the laps led category (1,341 laps).
HENDRICK AT HOMESTEAD: Jeff Gordon led 14 laps during the 2012 season finale to score Hendrick Motorsports' first Homestead win. The organization has won at every Cup track except Kentucky Speedway, which was added to the Cup schedule in 2011. In 14 races (55 starts) at Homestead, Hendrick Motorsports has two pole positions, 12 top-five finishes and 22 top-10s.
2013 CHAMPIONSHIP RUN: Johnson has built a 28-point lead thanks to an average finish of 4.7 through the first nine races in the Chase. He can win his sixth Cup title through one of the following performances on Sunday: finish 23rd or better; finish 24th or better and lead one lap; finish 25th or better and lead the most laps.
HORSEPOWER MILESTONE: Hendrick Motorsports is one win away from reaching its 300th victory for its engine department. The organization builds engines for teams in NASCAR's three elite series as well as NASCAR's K&N Pro Series and the ARCA Racing Series.
DALE EARNHARDT JR. (ON HOMESTEAD-MIAMI SPEEDWAY.): "We tested Homestead last month, and we are hoping that it will pay off. I thought the test went a little better than our Texas one, and we finished good at Texas. We've had a lot of momentum these last races. We're going to carry that to Homestead and hope to finish strong there."

John Caswell Hocutt
Pastor FBC Hillsborough, 1907-1910Church minutes indicate that on July 28, 1907 the current pastor, Ira Andrews offered his resignation to take effect in October and that on motion "Bro Jon Hocutt was called to preach for us at a salary of $150 per year and if more was collected it should be given to him." In December 1908, a committee was appointed to "consider the advisability of having preaching at Eno Cotton Mills." {The West Hillsborough Baptist Church was not organized until 1917.} In 1909, the church purchased 60 copies of the Baptist Hymnal without and 6 with "notes." Church repairs cost $78. After delivering his sermon on November 27, 1910, Hocutt offered his resignation which was accepted to take effect the 4th Sunday in December. The minutes note that "Many members expressed regrets at severing this relationship which has for the past three years been so pleasant and profitable. But an act of being able to locate a pastor here. It was desired wise to do so."1 Apparently, Hocutt lived in Chapel Hill and did not use the parsonage adjacent to the church while pastor of the church.
Hocutt served as pastor of churches in Orange, Alamance and Wake counties. He was at Dayton in the Oak Grove Area of Raleigh from 1876-1883 and at Olive Branch, Mount Moriah, Cane Creek, Bethel, Burlington, and Haw River from 1887 to 1896. He was pastor of Cane Creek on three occasions, 1888-92, 1894-95 and 1907-09. He was the 4th pastor to serve the Burlington Church and helped organize and serve as the supply pastor of Glenco Baptist Church, 1893-1894. Graham called him twice as pastor of their church, 1893-1900 and 1911-1912.2 Prior to coming to Hillsborough, he helped organize and served as the 1st pastor of the Union Chapel Church in 1902. The church later became the Carrboro Baptist Church in 1914. While living in Chapel Hill, he served as pastor of Hillsborough, Mt. Gilead, Mt. Carmel, and West Chapel Hill. He moved from Chapel Hill to Graham in 1912 pastoring the Graham and Haw River Churches. He died there in 1912. Hocutt Memorial Church was named in his honor when it was established by the Burlington Church in 1913.
Hocutt was born in Johnston County, NC on November 7, 1849, the son of Lucy Ligon and Lemuel Hocutt. He was the 2nd child in a family of at least 8 children. He attended Wake Forest and was ordained at age 27. Although in poor health much of the time, he worked hard for his churches.4 A 1900 census indicates that he was married to Mary J Hocutt and they had two children, Laura W and John B Hocutt. The estimated date of marriage was 1877, a year after he was ordained.5 The Biblical Recorder names Hocutt as one of the presbytery that questioned and ordained Charles Maddry into the ministry in 1902.6 Maddry referred to Hocutt as "my father in ministry" in a letter he wrote to the Biblical Recorder after learning of Hocutt's death. "He was everyone's pastor here and I wonder if the Master won't give him perfection in the shepherd work over there."7 Like Maddry, Hocutt also served as superintendent of Orange County Schools, 1907-1909 while serving the Hillsborough Church.
Perhaps Hocutt is best known for the letter he wrote to Washington Duke protesting the new practice of
putting pictures of pretty girls in packages of cigarettes. Duke wrote to his son, James Buchanan, in October 1884:
" I have received the enclosed letter from the Rev. John C. Hocutt, and am very much impressed with the wisdom of his argument against circulating lascivious photographs with cigarettes, and have made up my mind to bring the matter to your attention in the interest of morality, and in the hope that you can invent a proper substitute for these pictures which will answer your requirements as an advertisement as well as an inducement to purchase. "
The practice ended, at least for a while. Hocutt died on August 4, 1912 and is buried in the Linwood Cemetery in Graham.9 A Mary J. Hocutt , born August 11, 1859, is listed as dying on September 2, 1905 and being buried in the Corinth Baptist Church in Johnston County, NC.9 No mention is made of her relationship to John C. Hocutt but she most certainly is his wife.
This epitaph appeared in the Annual of the North Carolina Baptist State Convention 1912:
"Brother Hocutt was beloved by all who knew him. He was a man of saintly spirit, spotless character, and walked worthy of the vocation where- unto he was called. He occupied many important fields, such as Chapel Hill, Burlington. Hillsboro, and was pastor at times of country churches. He was a missionary of the Board for many years, and was ever faithful and conscientious. He was a frail man, and suffered much during the latter years of his life, but he "suffered as a Christian," uncomplainingly, and when the summons came, he was ready."10References:

I really love making costumes and clothing, and I'm always finding more and more that I want to do with this hobby. I try very hard to remain true to the spirit of the characters I cosplay and recreate them as accurately as I can. I always enjoy meeting new people, so please don't hesitate to say hi!

For those who thought this a bit bland: if you browned the ground beef with salt, pepper, onion and garlic and then added the other stuff, the flavor would probably be better. I find that seasoning ground beef after it browns makes for a bland dish.

Hamburger Buddy
From EatingWell: September/October 2007, EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook (2008)
Very finely chopping onion, mushrooms and carrots in the food processor is not only fast—it makes the vegetables hard to detect for picky eaters. They also form the base for the sauce of this ground beef skillet supper. Make it a meal: Serve with a green salad.
153 Reviews for Hamburger Buddy
Have you ever noticed just how many people there are out there that have no imagination and can't cook, either? I have. I've fixed this many times for many people and most of them will NOT eat mushrooms, but they love this when I fix it. One friend of mine will not touch broccoli, mushrooms, or zucchini. but he eats it when I fix this with those items in it, also. If you don't like something, then CHANGE it. Grow up and drop all the "Yuck" and "I'll never fix this again", or the "I don't LIKE that" garbage. GIVE ME A BREAK, PEOPLE!!!! I think this recipe is at the very least, a darned good starting point. Especially for a bunch of overage 3 year olds, from the way you sound.
James, Conyers, GA
Obviously, this recipe needs another review! I thought it was ok, but not outstanding. The texture of the minced veggies was a little strange, and oddly, I couldn't find whole wheat elbows so I used whole wheat rotini. I would absolutely make this again.
Tim, St. Paul, MN
I hate to give bad reviews, but this wasn't very good. I usually like to try to fix a recipe, but not with this one. We added cheese at the end, but something was definitely missing. The recipe made a large pot and no one even touched the leftovers. Most of the family didn't even finish their bowl. The only thing I did different to the recipe was to add in white wine, but it didn't help. If anyone can figure out what seasoning is missing, I might be willing to try it again. I am a huge fan of this website and this is the first time I didn't like a recipe.
Julie, Iowa, LA
I hate mushrooms, onions and cooked carrots, but blending them up makes them downright tasty. I would suggest using less than the "one large onion" in the recipe - even my onion-loving guests thought it was overkill. But maybe my onion was gargantuan. Good eats!

In 1992, along the corridor connecting Hilton Head Island with Interstate 95, South Carolina developer John Reed successfully debuted Colleton River Plantation; three years later and two miles west, he introduced Belfair to similar acclaim. With the recent opening two miles down the road of the South course, the coup de grâce at Berkeley Hall, Reed has turned his triple play of Low Country golf communities.
Berkeley residents arrive at their homes (which start at $675,000; homesites range from $219,500 to $1.5 million) via a $2.7 million entranceway with a reflecting pool surrounded by formal gardens, then past the $6 million spa-and-fitness center and 35,000-square-foot Jeffersonian-style clubhouse. A visit to the thirty-acre, technology-laden golf learning center and practice facility provides one's fix of fixes. Elsewhere around Berkeley's 860 bucolic acres are ten miles of nature trails, a conservancy and a club concierge, for starters. "People expect great golf from us, but what we've found as we moved along is that great golf alone isn't enough," says Reed.
Perhaps more impressive, though, is what's not here. Reed eliminated 200 homesites from Berkeley's original blueprint so that designer Tom Fazio could follow his "core golf" design plan: short walks between holes and no streets and few homes visible from either of his layouts. On the windswept, coastal North, Fazio halved his usual fourteen-month building period despite moving 1.3 million cubic yards of dirt: Reed agreed to sod the entire course at an added cost of $1.5 million. The 7,126-yard par-seventy-two South is a parkland stunner that winds through a mature stand of pine trees, with tighter corridors, smaller greens and similarly strategic but less severe bunkering. It's little wonder that at press time $115 million of Berkeley real estate and memberships have been sold since opening day.

With up to six cask ales and good community spirit it is no wonder this was West Suffolk branch Pub of the Year 2007. The July beer festival is an event not to be missed along with other events such as live music, sporting events and theatre suppers. For summer there is a huge back garden and in winter the enormous fire in the bar is a magnet. The food, normally only served at weekends, is imaginative and very good.
Built 17th-18th century. A brewery was once located on the site.

Were you to arrange Phaidon's Wallpaper City Guides by color, the new Tel Aviv edition would sit directly beside New York, a happy coincidence for my bookshelf as my most recent travel took me between the two cities. Perhaps the similar shades were chosen because Tel Aviv is often referred to as the New York of the Middle East? Though New Yorkers like to imagine that everyone who lives anywhere else has city envy, a local who has lived in both cities confided to me that while he likes New York the best of any American city, he'd much rather live in Tel Aviv. "It's like New York with good weather," he said.
You can't exactly fault him. The weather in Tel Aviv is miraculously warm all year round. When I left New York on a 55° morning and landed in Tel Aviv on a 70° night, I dropped my bags at my hotel and took a leisurely stroll through the buzzing city streets, which are safe, even for a young female traveling alone. But even with a nightlife scene to rival New York's, the city's best spots are spread out; Having the City Guide with me (it came out the day after I landed back in New York) would have been a big help.
The Guide does a good job of illustrating Tel Aviv's strengths and struggles in an introduction that describes it as "the world's first modern Jewish city...blessed with many of the amenities needed to be a sophisticated global destination." Tel Aviv not only has a promising culinary movement and a growing art scene with plenty of bars, shopping and miles of beaches, but the city is "aggressively permissive, tolerant and open-minded—a blend of European progressiveness spices with Levantine and Arab traditions... resolutely Jewish but today as gay, multicultural and wealthy as many European cities."
In a short two-mile walk from downtown Tel Aviv you can see commercial shops, independent boutiques and craft fairs. Coffee shops and juice bars dot nearly every street corner. By noon you'll be at the beach, hungry for a lunch of the daily catch. After a glass or two of surprisingly tasty Israeli Chardonnay (I had no idea Israel had such established wineries), follow up a tour of the 5,000+ Bauhaus buildings in the infamous White City with a very worthwhile 20 minute drive to Holon Design Museum, a stunning steel structure by Ron Arad where you can see work by local designers (see our coverage of Holon Design Week for more).
The City Guide is a great place to start your trip to Tel Aviv. It points out some of the best of what the city has to offer while leaving plenty of room for discovering your own favorite spots. Available through Phaidon for $9.95.

I agree with CMS that payment to Medicare Advantage programs should be cut. These programs cost more with often poorer outcomes than traditional Medicare. I do not like that my taxes fund insurance company profits.
Payment Cuts Proposed for Medicare Advantage Insurers — Physician's First Watch

Payment Cuts Proposed for Medicare Advantage Insurers
By Amy Orciari Herman
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has proposed cuts in payments to insurers that run private Medicare plans, known as Medicare Advantage. Some 30% of Medicare-eligible beneficiaries are enrolled in these plans, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The cuts approach 8%, according to one Wall Street analyst, who expected a cut rate closer to 6% or 7%.
Insurers say such cuts translate to smaller networks of doctors and hospitals, as well as higher out-of-pocket costs for patients, Reuters reports.
A final ruling on the regulations is expected from the Centers in early April.
