Yankees 4 White Sox 0: The Offense Just Really Hates Jake Peavy
The good news for Jake Peavy is that, on the day he said he'd donate $100 for every strikeout in MLB toward research for pancreatic cancer, he set a career high as a White Sox with 11 strikeouts.
The bad news for Jake Peavy is that his offense really wanted to contribute as well, and allowed Yankee pitching to strike them out 13 times.
Which means that in his last four starts, the White Sox offense has managed 2 runs of support for Jake Peavy. The man made six starts in the month of June, and had an ERA of 2.77 in 42.1 innings of work with 35 strikeouts and went 0-4.
I mean, seriously.
Yankee Stadium is what did Peavy in today. After allowing only 8 home runs in 104.2 innings coming into today's start, he allowed 3 solo home runs to the Yankees today. All three of which took advantage of the short porch -- if I played in parks as a little leaguer that were harder to hit home runs in down the lines then there's something seriously wrong with your Major League stadium -- in right field, and which I can't be sure would have been home runs at US Cellular Field.
Not just the distance, but they may have been foul as well.
Meanwhile Hiroki Kuroda was throwing some kind of magic pitch with perpetual movement all damn day and Sox hitters couldn't do anything with him.
It was a great day for cancer research, but a terrible day for the White Sox.

Failed to open a secure file transfer session
I'm having the same problem, when logged in as root. SSH works ok. But SSH file transfer gives the error: "Failed to open a Secure File Transfer session."
"File transfer server could not be started or it exited unexpectedly. Exit value 0 was returned."
I've been using SSH file transfer till a few days ago, and all of a sudden it gives me this error.
Looking at the changes i made, since then:
Have reverted changes i had made to /root/.bashrc and /root/.bash_profile.
Have not changed /etc/gdm/custom.conf that i edited for autologin facility..
Any help would be appreciated !

Over the last decade, nonprofit, business, and governmental organizations have been increasingly working together to address societal and environmental problems. For example, recently the EPA and the Environmental Defense Fund collaborated with business and local authorities to address massive public health and environmental concerns that accompany the need for growing port facilities on U.S. coastlines. In order for cross-sector collaborations to succeed, future managers must possess an understanding of the diversity of perspectives and purposes held by organizations in other sectors. Risks, challenges, and issues inherent in collaborations, including how success is defined, how power differences are managed, trust built, and accountability assured, are critical in achieving mutually desired goals and benefits.
The Master of Public Administration program in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences and the Master of Business' Administration program in the Walton College of Business are working together to offer the Cross Sector Alliance certificate program. The program prepares students for a workplace in which they will be interacting with organizations from other sectors in joint projects or initiatives. Accordingly, students must understand the financial, accountability and general management challenges of the different sectors. In addition, the program also prepares students for work in different sectors and builds skills not addressed in stand-alone programs. In general, students will gain a fundamental knowledge of within-sector management issues, how those issues relate to cross-sector management and governance, and will be able to apply this understanding in practical scenarios.

"The new Cross-Sector Collaboration class enriched my MBA experience through exposure to not only theories, but also to real-world applications of collaborative projects. Meeting business, non-profit and public sector leaders who have the passion and the motivations to affect change in business and society was priceless and un-paralleled in my other course experiences. We learned firsthand how authentic collaboration is critical for the advancement of the mission of nonprofits. In my short tenure at my new job, I have already sought and found ways to improve lives at work and in the community that I attribute largely to knowledge gained through this course." -Honey Brinkley

The best evidence is provided by comparison-tests in independent trade magazines in which the Ground Zero products have consistently placed by the winners circle with best ratings for price / performance, features and quality.
Ground Zero also has the goal of keeping prices stable, no matter how prices of materials fluctuate. As an add on often there are additional: features, of which our competitors may just dream off.
Therefore we need not to negotiate a discount surcharge off the price because the products are constantly face lifted.
Just after a few years the German brand with American roots is already internationally renowned.
In America, Ground Zero was the leading manufacturer of subwoofers with large surrounds. Today the global Ground Zero enterprise (supplying 35 countries in Europe alone) offers a complete palette of products in six series: Titanium, Radioactive, Hydrogen, Uranium, Nuclear, and Plutonium with over 150 car hi-fi products - all designed in Germany.
The Ground Zero brand, which is trademarked world-wide, is one of the worlds most respected names in car hi-fi power.
Ground Zero manufactured the meanwhile legendary SPL woofers from Nuclear and Plutonium series. These woofers are able to provide unbelievable SPL Power ratings up to 10.000 W. Numerous world records in many classes of dB Drag competitions were setted up with those GZ – SPL Subwoofers – almost countless awards of the specialized press followed.
The company and its employees moved to the especially built company building including an own warehouse near Munich.
Due to their long achievement in subwoofer designing, Ground Zero has been voted to "Best Brand" at the renowned reader's choice of the German autohifi – magazine.
By the end of the year, the speakers of Hydrogen-line have been completely renewed and valorized with cast baskets, Kevlar- cones and high quality crossovers. Since that time, these speakers achieved top marks at every test of the specialized press.
The next highlights from Ground Zero were developed in this year. Consistent with the great success in subwoofer – SPL range, Ground Zero managed to launch power- packs in amplifier section never been seen before. The car hifi world was amazed by the 11.000 W SPL competition amplifier GZPA 1.10000SPL – later the competitors despaired of the 22.000 W competition power of GZPA 2.20000SPL. Many awards for this amplifier followed – "High end amplifier of the year 2008" and "Strongest amplifier every measured by autohifi" are only two of them.
But Karl F. Lautner and Peter Unterharnscheidt don't wanted to rest on those great results in extreme SPL section – the development of one-of-a-kind sound quality products were already going at full blast. So Ground Zero came out with the Plutonium Reference line to the turn of the year. Handmade speakers, crossovers "Made in Germany", selected parts and noble materials are just a few keywords describing this product line.
The high end quality of Reference line was certified several times by the specialized press in this year. The pure SQ amplifier GZPA Reference 4 was declared as the leader of reference class ranking list (autohifi) and new sound reference (Car&Hifi), the components of the Reference speaker system achieved likewise excellent results.
If someone thought, Ground Zero would not be able to develop even stronger SPL subwoofer and amplifiers at that time, he was surely disabused by Ground Zero in 2009. The subwoofers from plutonium range are now available in EXTREME versions. These subwoofers keep, what their name promises – with a special carbon cone they are made for extremely high mechanical power rating and maximum pressure. In the amplifier segment, the next step has been taken with the GZPA SPL – HC amps. Those extreme powerful high current amplifiers are equipped with a six fold power supply.
In September 2009, Ground Zero found a strong partner for the distribution of their products in Germany and Austria – the well known company Hama GmbH & Co KG is now the exclusive distributor for both countries.
The company Ground Zero was founded in 1995 in Frankfurt, Germany, by Karl F. Lautner and Peter Unterharnscheidt under the name of Ultimate / MaGmA GmbH. The name taken from geology, MAGMA was symbolizing the raw force of a volcano. Ground Zero is the denotation for the ground of a volcano's crater.
The American amplifier guru Bob Carver introduced a fully active home subwoofer under the brand name Sunfire, which was unlike anything before: it had an exorbitantly huge surround.
This new Sunfire also attracted the attention of the MaGmA team headed up by Lautner and Unterharnscheidt. They recognized the advantages of thus construction and acquired the sales rights for Europe under the name "Ground Zero".
In 1997
The search for a new factory lead MaGmA to a German emigrant, Thilo Stompler, who had formed an American company, TC Sound. MaGmA and TC Sound cooperated closely and created a new edition of the beloved Ground Zero woofers. Aluminum cones, tireless spiders and woven-in leads helped to create a level of stability which was – up until then – unheard for subwoofers. It is still unbeaten!
In 1999
The company moved to the town of Egmating (pop. 2,000) near Munich.
The Ground Zero product became increasingly recognized and gained significantly higher market share compared with more conventional car hi-fi companies.
By 2000
Karl F. Lautner and Peter Unterharnscheidt had recognised that their brand, Ground Zero, could be expanded to include car hi-fi power amplifiers and speakers. But this could only be done by meeting the same quality expectations that were used for Ground Zero subwoofers. They designed the line extension with extra features and state-of-the-art engineering.
Ground Zero products have always distinguished themselves because of that extra investment. The power amplifiers convinced with their "inner values" – their functionality and timelessness.
The company was re-named to Ground Zero in order to emphasize that the company is not only the distributor but also the manufacturer of this excellent product. All rights for the brand name "Ground Zero" and the respective trademarks are registered world wide.
The manufacturing was relocated in the Far East where Ground Zero finally found a manufacturer capable of producing the voice coil that would meet their strict requirements. The result was the new Ground Zero quad coil woofer, model GZPW 15XQ.
While other quad coil woofers primarily offer flexible impedance, Ground Zero's GZPW 15 XQ had an entirely different goal: to have an immense load capacity making it possible to operate them with four high performance power amplifiers equalling 10,000 watts! This would allow the user to extract even the last decibel of high level reserve out of the woofer – along with the further advantage that it could use an extremely small enclosure volume.
For this sound pressure other products need double as much cone area, if not the double cone diameter…
Nowadays the company produces also product line exclusively for whole sellers (e.g. Makro Markt group under the name GZ-MAXX). Also the new Titanium series can be offered to big sales groups.The result has been gratifying: an excellent brand image known for quality and innovation, rising sales and satisfied customers and dealers, both. Now the company headquarters is bursting at the seams thanks to the positive order situation and the abundance of the teams market-driven ideas.
The course has been set: The car hi-fi world now anxiously waits to learn what new and pleasurable audio experiences Ground Zero will bring them in the future.
After the tremendous successes with subwoofers, power amplifiers, and, more recently, with speakers, Ground Zero is starting to taste success with models that extend the line further. Current prototypes are creating high expectations. Within a short time the Uranium Line with perfected sound will also be extended by extraordinary power amplifiers. Ground Zeros challange to the world sound elite.
The most significant company maxim was, is, and will remain: maximum operating safety, longevity and sound quality of the Ground Zero products in every market with every model.

I'm interested in peoples experiences with what they found to be the most relished native plant or tree by birds for food. If anyone has had experiences with eastern towees and tufted titmice Im interested in what they like.. but im also interested in other birds preferences also. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have some Tennessee Purple Coneflowers (Echinacea tennesseensis) and the gold finches love the seed in late summer and early fall. |
For a berry plant, Serviceberry can't be beat for popularity. Those berries are eaten immediately! |
- Posted by gamekeeper N.H. (My Page) on Thu, Jan 12, 06 at 17:27
I find the birds in my area love the Russian Olives for eating when ripe in fall and for shelter other times. |
Gamekeeper Thanks for your input but Im only interested in natives Russian olive although extremely popular with the birds should never be planted as it is extremely invasive and takes the place of "native plants" ( plants occuring here naturally before european settlement). I saw your above post regarding bittersweet and how the birds dont take it if your fruits of the bittersweet are yellow you actually may have asiatic bittersweet commonly sold under the guise that it is native in most nurseries, this would explain why nothing is taking it. If it is the orange berried or native bittersweet what other things do you have around to compliment it ie. cover plants etc and other things that the little birdies relish. |
I think much of the reason I get to enjoy catbirds in my yard most summers is Lindera benzoin (spicebush). The chickadees in my yard love the Tsuga canadensis (Eastern hemlock), but depending on the area, I'd feel I'd have to warn people about wooly adelgid. At a park near where I work, Myrica pennsylvanica (Northern Bayberry) was the main plant in the best birding spot there until a new building was put on the land. I looked up towhees and titmice in the book "American Wildlife and Plants: A Guide to Wildlife Food". Per the book, oak is the most popular for Eastern towhees, and for titmice oak and beech. I've added the Amazon link to this book below. I think you might find it useful. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Amazon link to American Wildlife and Plants: A Guide to Wildlife Food
I have a blast every fall watching the robins, catbirds and waxwings feast on my elderberries (Sambucus canadensis). I'll also suggest one of the native sunflowers, though they can be really aggresive. |
- Posted by gamekeeper (My Page) on Thu, Jan 19, 06 at 14:06
In regard to the Russian Olive I have had these for over thirty years and they have never spread and the people who introduced me to them have also found the same.Actually the state of NH was at that time encouraging their planting,as was the audobon society.However they aren't for the collector of natives,sorry. |
The birds in my area love black cherry, prunus serotina. Unfortunately, the trees are rather messy and are generally attacked by both insects and diseases. I was at a friend's house last summer and they were amazed at the number of birds in their back yard. Little did they know that there was a black cherry in their yard in full fruit attracting the birds. I've seen one source that states black cherries attract over 70 species of birds. The site below list some other good choices. |

We have several black cherry and the birds are crazed for them,they are messy and buggy but I object to the drying the area so drasticly the use so much water in july and august everything near them dies.I am building up mulch to see if it helps. |
Really? Maybe that's what killed one of my juniperus virginius. Sarah |

Regarding Russian Olive, A long time ago gov't agencies and wildlife promoters did promote the planting of certain invasive species for wildlife. Of course, at the time they reccomended planting them, they did not know they were invasive. Since that time, we have learned that they are not a good choice. I am certain if you check with your state DNR and the audobon society today, they no longer recommend planting Russian Olive to attract birds. As we learn and make mistakes we change philosophies. As far as best plants for birds, I think a mixture of plants is good choice. Something that they can perch on, something that they can eat and something that provides cover. Euchinacea is always a good choice. The finches love it. And Hummingbirds hang out on mine also. I'd like to get a service berry but I don't really have the right sun and soil conditions. I do have big bluestem and small birds will perch on them. |
I thought there was a serviceberry for every garden condition, there are so many. I have about 4 different varieties . But to be honest I haven't seen the birds use it as much as the other plants I have . Sarah |
I wanted to mention that often with invasive plants, especially those that wildlife eat, the invasive may be occurring far from where the original plant is. southwebb, I love that site you linked to. For the plants I'm familiar with, it seems very accurate, so it should be a good reference for me going forward. |
- Posted by gamekeeper (My Page) on Mon, Jan 23, 06 at 15:40
loris, Good point never considered the birds causing the invasiveness.Being a dogman I get to keep all the dog droppings.Perhaps I should consider replacing my Russian Olive hedge.It will be quite a job! Peter |
Before I new any better I planted two rose of sharon plants about 7 years ago. Now I want to take them out and replace them wirh something else. Not sure what though. |
When the lanceleaf coreopsis goes to seed, there are clouds of goldfinches that drift up to the sky as I walk through the field. mulberry is a great food for many critters. |
sarahbn, pardon me if you've seen me post this before, but you might want to try UConn's Plant DB's search feature. You can't specify bird attracting there, but can include "Wildlife Value", and specify CT native (it's pretty close to you, you can expand to US native if needed) and then cross reference it to something like the link southwebb posted if needed. I think UConn sometimes but doesn't always mention when birds like the fruit. gamekeeper, that sounds like a wonderful idea! We've been trying to get rid of some invasives on our property, but I must admit some are probably here to stay for quite a while. |

Hi, We pulled out a 100ft shrub border last spring that was overgrown and full of saplings from neighboring maples. What a LOT of work! Dug them out by hand with shovels and a pick ax. Some of them though were so old that they were a little rotted out and they were easy to get out. We started to get a technique going, with some standing on the trunks and rocking them out. Most of them weren't too bad. It took us a while, doing it mostly on weekends, about 3 months. I still have a few non native shrubs around the property and two of those awful maples..I think the Norway that reseed so prolifically. We just don't want to lose the screen. We wouldn't have a tree in our yard just about if we take those out..except for new ones we added. Although the caterpillars were bad last year. Maybe we will get rid of them anyway? [g] The only other shrub we still have that is invasive is the burning bush. I am planning on getting that out later too. What we added. Serviceberry trees, sambucus, native hydrangeas, lindera, gray dogwood, dogwood tree, ninebark and a few viburnum. Added some compost, native perennials and ferns, and some bulbs in the fall and lots of mulch and can't wait for spring! The shrubs we installed were small and haven't had any berries to speak of, to see what the birds will like. I hope we will see that this year. We still have room to add more, and other parts of the yard someday to redo. In the spring I want to add a lot of annuals and perennials that the birds like too. I am planning a whole sunflower corner and a prairie corner with bluestem, joe pye weed, coneflowers, native delphinium and penstemons. Cosmos is another annual that the finches love. I see them swaying on the stems all the time. adam |
Sara, I forgot to ask. How did you get a close up photo of the birds in your tree. The birds at our house fly away as soon as anyone comes out the backdoor. Except the chickadees who are very bold. adam |
Sarahbn: Your eastern red ceder maybe dying or have died if the forest canopy or a tree has over shadowed it. Red ceder is a tree that will begin to grow in abondened fields it is a first stage forest regrowth tree. Because of this it hates shade and as the forest canopy grows around it it will die. |

Viburnums, dogwoods, wild black cherries - and by the way, WBC is the host/caterpillar tree for many of our most beautiful butterflies, mulberries, wax myrtle (invaluable winter food for migrating birds) various hollies (for same reason) and blueberries are the top plants around here. Sherry |
- Posted by gamekeeper (My Page) on Wed, Feb 8, 06 at 10:43
We tried Mulberries and didn't have much luck even with a pair for pollination they hard a little fruit at first and then the past two years no fruit at all? |
I would recommend viburnum trilobum 'Wentworth'. Has spectacular red berries that hang on the shrub all winter providing interest for you and in the sprng,the cedar waxwings stop by and greedily devour them all. Apparently the fruit needs an extensive freeze/thaw cycle to make them palatable. |
- Posted by burntplants 8KatyTX (My Page) on Wed, Mar 8, 06 at 8:44
Down here, the various hollies (esp. Yaupon and Possumhaw) seem to attract the most birds. And of course the native sunflowers. sarabn---I'm trying to think of a native hibiscus or turk's cap that would grow up North to replace your Rose of Sharon and I'm not coming up with anything. |
My state bird is the Goldfinch. Around here it's favorite food is thistel. I let the Mullen grow outside my window so I can watch the birds eat at it all winter. There are at least 3 kinds of birds that take refuge in the Napweed here. These are all "bad actors" in my little part of the world and we dont encourage them outside of there home range. [Hades isn't it?] It just points out the underlying motives involved. |
rangdrol, do you mean mullein? That's not native...except to Europe and Asia. I also don't know napweed, so did a search.. napweed (Not sure of spelling) is a noxious weed that grows in parts of the northwest with a small blue, purple or yellow flower. Napweed secretes a poison that kills other grasses and small plants allowing it take over large areas. And is very difficult to get rid of once establish. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Verbascum (mullein)
Flowering dogwood tree, elderberry, and blue vervain (verbena hastata). |
Toxicodendron radicans is probably one of the most important food sources for birds. If you need any seeds, just let me know! |

Western towees love the shelter of a white spruce. Birds make a beeline for that tree when storms are in the area. (Yes, unfortunately, it is a large tree, and not something you plant in a backyard.) Smaller birds are always foraging in the branches. Birds search in any pines with seed cones or nuts. Lodgepole pine is a favorite. Birds also eat wild hazelnuts. In season (when there is fruit), birds can be found in red-twig dogwood shrubs, dogwood trees (for cedar waxwings and scrubjays), chokecherry, wild cherry, and blueberry shrubs. I would think crabapples would be essential fall-winter food in your area. Birds move very quickly from food source to food source. This is especially true during migration periods. You'll see them for a couple days as they use up the available seeds, nuts, and fruit, and then they move on. I'd say plant a variety of trees and shrubs with the objective of providing shelter and/or a food source. And one of the most critical items that people seldom think of ...clean water. |

In my gardens I would say it's the Serviceberry bushes (I have SIX) and the Blue Cohosh. Barb |

Some know him as CliffyB. Others call him Cliff Bleszinski. Few refuse to acknowledge him as another other than 'that giant douchebag'.
Whatever you want to call him, there's no denying the meteoric rise to fame that the Gears of War Lead Designer has experienced since the cover shooter was released.
It's a fame that has put him at crest of the Gears of War wave and at the mercy of the internet, who ridicule his love of the spotlight.
All said and done, how happy are you with Gears of War 2?
I remain extraordinarily proud of the work that I do as well as the gifted team I work with. But that said, nothing's perfect and hindsight is 20/20. Matchmaking was very flawed out of the box; the game did ship with exploits, and it's an unfortunate reality when you make a product that is played by millions of players on day one.
That said, Horde was really a resounding success, and this really seems to be the era of co-op really and truly emerging as its own thing, much like versus did years ago in the Quake and Doom era. But we'll continue with DLC and keep that long tail as long as possible.
I think we did a far better job with the story this time around - I think Josh Ortega is a fantastic writer, the game had a tighter story, made a lot more sense, had some nice twists and turns, a little bit darker. That said, of course it's not Shakespeare; it's still a popcorn blockbuster.
But people love to beat up on us about story for some reason, and they focus on the buff characters and the chainsaws, and they fail to see any of the nuance in the game.
But how the Maria resolution wound up panning out was so interesting - if you go to YouTube right now and look up that spoiler scene, there are 780 comments on there and two-thirds are people saying things like "this made me cry," "this is the saddest moment I've ever seen in a video game," "oh my god that was horrible." Sometimes you've gotta trust your gut and make the kind of game you want to play and believe in yourself.
You hint at these ideas that you have not explored. What are the game ideas that have gotten away while you've been focusing on Gears?
Well, this is getting a bit much, but there was a rumor about me doing a survival horror game, which I have absolutely no idea how that hit.
Somebody wanted you to make a survival horror game.
I know! And that's a genre that's very near and dear to me. I love Silent Hill 1, 2 and 3. The other ones didn't happen; it's like Highlander sequels. I'm sorry, I know that's dickish.
I'm a huge fan of Condemned; I think it's one of the most underrated franchises and one of the most poorly marketed franchises. I thoroughly enjoy Resident Evil 5; yes, people have their crits, but they should f*** off because it's a stellar game. Fatal Frame - Jesus, I had to stop playing Fatal Frame 2 because it scared me too much. Maybe I'm just a big p****.
But that's a genre that's near and dear to me and I would love to somewhere down the line get around to doing something like that. But it's a tough sell when you start making something psychological, single-player oriented, very nuance-based.
And that will be a challenge, because in case you haven't noticed, at Epic, we're not always that good at nuance. We tend to paint with large brushstrokes. So no, I'm not making a horror game next. Gears is very much near and dear to me.
Do you feel shackled by the franchise at this point?
No. There's only been two Gears games, man. There's still plenty of opportunities for things you can do in a cover-based shooter and there's still a lot of stories to tell in the Gears universe. I'm not burned out on that at all.

On Campus: Indiana's Scott Donley leads Big Ten in RBI
By John Mutka Post-Tribune senior correspondent April 8, 2013 7:16PM
Updated: May 10, 2013 6:37AM
Indiana's 18-game winning streak, the longest in Division I baseball, ended over the weekend, but the Hoosiers are sitting pretty with a 25-4 record.
Crown Point's Scott Donley, a Virginia Tech transfer, leads the Big Ten with 37 RBI. The hard-hitting DH is batting .380 with nine doubles.
Third baseman Dustin DeMuth (LaPorte) backs him up with a .368 average and a team-leading four sacrifice flies.
The No. 16 Hoosiers are living up to their preseason favorite status with an 8-1 record in the Big Ten. Last weekend they drew record crowds of more than 2,700 fans in successive games with Illinois at Bart Kaufman Field.
Indiana won the first two, including the first night game in the 119-year history of the program. The Illini salvaged the finale of the three-game series.
Toledo's Ryan Wilkinson (Munster) shut out Buffalo 6-0 with a four-hitter over the weekend. It was his second complete game in his last three starts.
Wilkinson lowered his team-leading ERA to 2.87 The junior southpaw also ranks high on the staff with 53.1 innings spread over eight starts.
Josh Biggs (Washington Twp) has made nine appearances in short relief for Evansville's Aces. The senior lefty has struck out nine in 10.1 innings and sports an 0,87 ERA. The Aces are 12-17.
Elliott Bajda (Whiting) has started 14 games and is batting .239 for St. Xavier of Chicago. Catcher Tony O'Shea (Valparaiso) carrries a .293 average. The Cougars are 14-10.
Nicole Steinbach (Merrillville/Andrean) is Ball State's ace, leading the Cardinals with 13 complete games, the latest being a 13-0 shutout of Western Michigan. The freshman sensation tops BSU's rotation in ERA (2.19) and innings (108.2). She owns a 9-7 record.
Cardinal third baseman Audrey Bickel (Munster/Andrean) has driven in 30 runs in 33 games. Her on-base percentage is .378. The junior has four homers.
Shortstop Jessica Craft (LaPorte) is batting .389 in a part-time role. Ball State owns a 22-11 record and is 7-0 in the Mid-American Conference.
Valparaiso's Kelly Freeman (Chesterton) and Sarah Drozdowski came up with season-bests in field events for fourth-place finishes at the Duke Invitational. Freeman cleared 11-13/4 in the pole vault and Drozdowski reached 170-7 in the hammer throw.
In the earlier Puma Invitational, Drozdowski was a double winner in the hammer throw and shot put.
IUPUI's Ryan Cutter (Chesterton) clipped 45 seconds off his personal best with a time of 14:41.51 in the Miami Invitational. He broke the school record with his second-place finish.
Senior Pat Herrod (Chesterton) is averaging 79.4 over eight rounds at DePauw. His best score was 72 in the Wabash Classic. Freshman Logan Bertalan (Valparaiso) is averaging 83.5 strokes over six rounds.

I have a HUGE gardenia and am unable to spray the undersides of the leaves. Will toni's solution still be beneficial in getting ris of the spider mites? Also will it harm the buds? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Spider mites are tough little buggers, and you have to make sure that you are getting all of them or a few survivors will re-infest in a week or so. If you can't spray, can you rub under the leaves with a weak solution? Sure, it'll take ages, but think of the love you'll be showin' your 'denia! Definitely try to keep sprays and soaps away from the buds. Good luck! Jim |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (My Page) on Sat, Feb 14, 09 at 13:45
Suki, Jim is correct. To rid insects for good, all parts of a plant, including undersides of leaves need to be cleaned, no matter what type of insecticide is used. When you spray, avoid aiming at buds and flowers. Sprays discolor and can kill blooms. Good luck, Toni PS. Spray, ASAP. Mites are fast-working, hearty eaters, and like to raise, large families.. |

The queen of suspense is back!
Mary Higgins Clark's new novel - the 30th and most spine-chilling of her long career as America's most beloved author of suspense fiction - is about the newest and most up-to-date of crimes: identity theft. Who has not read about - or experienced - with a sinking feeling the fear that someone else out there may be using your credit cards, accessing your bank account, even stealing your entire identity.
In I'll Walk Alone, Alexandra "Zan" Moreland, a gifted, beautiful interior designer on the threshold of a successful Manhattan career, is terrified to discover that somebody is not only using her credit cards and manipulating her financial accounts to bankrupt her and destroy her reputation, but may also be impersonating her in a scheme that may involve the much more brutal crimes of kidnapping and murder. Zan is already haunted by the disappearance of her own son, Matthew, kidnapped in broad daylight two years ago in Central Park - a tragedy that has left her torn between hope and despair.
Now, on what would be Matthew's fifth birthday, photos surface that seem to show Zan kidnapping her own child, followed by a chain of events that suggests somebody (but who, Zan asks herself desperately, and why?) has stolen her identity.
Hounded by the press, under investigation by the police, attacked by both her angry ex-husband and a vindictive business rival, Zan, wracked by fear and pain and sustained only by her belief, which nobody else shares, that Matthew is still alive, sets out to discover who is behind this cruel hoax.
What she does not realize is that with every step she takes toward the truth, she is putting herself - and those she loves most - in mortal danger from the person who has ingeniously plotted out her destruction.

"Quick Read"
If you are looking for a quick read and a good story, this one fits the bill.
"I loved it - a Great read"
I had alot of chores to get done this weekend, and finished the book before all my chores were done. What a disappointment. It was a great story, just the way I like them, to the point, not stretching it out with unneeded descriptions. Highly recommend for a quick read that you can't put down. It's a case of who dunnit and you would never guess who. A real page turner, so to speak.
For most of the book I found the main character to be a little dim witted and fragile. Her credit card has huge charges that she neglects to investigate? ? hmmmm
"Another fun Mary Higgins Clark listen"
A fun mystery which will keep you entertained. I thought I had figured out who the "bad guy" was but she had me fooled until close to the end. A nice, light mystery which isn't so scary that you have to leave all the lights on after listening!
"Can't go wrong with Mary Higgins Clark"
A favorite author of mine for suspense.
My 1st audiobook. It takes some getting used to to stay focused. Having read the book made it a bit easier. I enjoyed her different voices.
This is an emotional story. What are the ramifications on her son? How can she hold it together under the strain?
I enjoyed the heroine's interior design career.
"Thoroughly enjoyed!"
Yes, after a few years... It's just my kinda book! No swearing which shows to me, this writer can make ALL of her points by using language that is intelligent... very interesting with twists and turns and held my interest throughout it's entirety.
I don't want to give away anything so I can't answer :-)
Compares very well to her other "reads", she's very, very good...
ummmm... not sure.
If you like a clean, interesting mystery, then this is the books for you!
"Another great Mary Higgins Clark!"
Yes, I would listen to this one again! It kept my attention.
Lucy; her neice
I thought she did a good job!
When I found out it was her husband. I was heartbroken.
Highly recommend!!
"another fantastic Mary Higgins Clark"
great book by talented author which kept me riveted from the first sentence to the last
"Another great story from the queen of mystery"
The suspense.
I so appreciate MHC stories. Not only are they suspensful and interesting, but also that she does not have to include bad language such as the "f" word on every page or graphic descriptions that some writers today feel they need to insert to sell their books. I know that when I chose a Mary Higgins Clark book, I am going to be entertained and not disgusted. Please keep it up.
"Mary Higgins Clark rules!!!"
Very scary and nerve-wracking! I loved every second! Great narration too by Ms. Maxwell!

Idea for Game this Saturday.
2 Years, 11 Months ago
So my group has been following a specific plot line in our campaign but I thought I would mix it up a bit this weekend. As of now they are traveling to a little village on their way to track down someone.
On the way I am going to have them encounter a small band of Orcs who have an injured soldier captive. Hopefully they will take the hook and save the soldier. As it turns out he was heading to the same village before he was captured. As they arrive the townspeople rush out to greet the soldier - he is a hero amongst these people. Because of the party's good dead, they gain the trust of the town vanguard - particularly their leader. The innkeeper will put them up for free.
In the middle of the night, however, they will hear a scream coming from across the street at the butcher shop. If they go and investigate they will discover that a waitress by the name of Brianna has been killed and her body has been nailed to the wall with her arms outstretched. Some of the townsfolk will view the party with suspicion, even go so far to accuse them of being the murderers (maybe there is a tavern brawl). Luckily the town vanguard doesn't agree (namely for saving their local hero).
The next morning there is another murder. The body displayed at the General store. This time it Garvis - a local farmer. Now, some of the vanguard are beginning to get suspicious. Their investigations have turned up nothing. If the party chooses to move onward they will be arrested and held. However, if they choose to aid in the investigation they will be allowed to move around freely.
Next the body of Inara is found at the Inn. Notice a pattern? The killer puts the body on display at a location that begins with the same letter as the victims name - he also kills in alphabetical order. Hopefully, the party will figure this out after a few murders and begin guessing where the next location will be. This will lead to a combat encounter with the serial killer who they will discover is the very soldier they brought to town - only he is uninjured.
If they get him to talk they will learn that he has always enjoyed killing. Prior to joining the military he only killed and tortured animals. However, after his first kill in war he discovered that killing people yielding more thrills. After a recent war (that the party is already familiar with as it was led by the campaign's main villain) his talents and motivation for killing were discovered by a powerful necromancer (the main villain of the campaign) who admired the soldier's dark art. However, the soldier became obsessed with the necromancer constantly asking to be transformed into some manner of ghoul - to shove him aside the necromancer told him that he would transform the soldier into an undead monster if the soldier returned to his small village to terrorize it. He gave him a device that siphons energy from a recently departed souls (in reality it is nothing more than a small ornate box) and once full (after 10 murders) they will have the materials they need to begin the ritual. The necromancer is confident that the soldier would be caught by his own people, humiliated, and then executed.
Hopefully this little intermission will renew the character's hatred for the main villain (the necromancer) and they will proceed with trying to find him.
I would love some input about how to make it smoother. I thought about making a secret kill room somewhere in the village for the players to find. The soldier will have a charming demeanor and will come off as a nice guy until he is discovered. Then he will begin to ramble about the details of his murders with glee.
I combined the MOs of the following real life serial killers:
1. Ted Bundy (pretended to be injured)
2. The Alphabet Murders
3. Ed Gein (the morbid displays with the corpses)

Christmas just isn't Christmas without holiday music. But, I am not talking about the standards, the songs that are over played on the radio and in Big Box stores, which people endure as they scramble around to purchase gifts and prepare for Christmas Day. I am talking about the blues, doo wop, R&B & soul.
This is the kind of music a person should listen to during Christmas The lyrics are honest. The music is also much more spirited and vibrant.
These ten songs are not necessarily the best Christmas songs ever written. These ten songs are just my way of wishing all those, who have read and supported my work throughout the year, a merry Christmas. These ten are a gift, something to lively up your Christmas Day or, for a couple of the songs, provoke a little thought about the meaning of Christmas.
"Presents for Christmas" – Solomon Burke
"Merry Christmas" – Cameos
"Santa Claus Got the Blues" – The Drifters
"Get Down Santa" – The Jive Turkeys

Unemployment rate dives, but few new jobs created. How can that be?
Unemployment rate dropped from 9.4% to 9.0% last month, according new Labor Department statistics. But only 36,000 new jobs were created. Where did the rest of the unemployed go?
Roger L. Wollenberg / UPI / Newscom / File
New York
Economists are scratching their heads over the newly released monthly jobs report.
The Labor Department announced on Friday that the economy gained only a handful of new jobs in January, but the unemployment rate dropped from 9.4 percent to 9.0 percent, the lowest rate since spring 2009.
Some economists blamed the cold and snowy weather for distorting the numbers, while others suggested the drop in the unemployment rate might reflect people whose unemployment benefits have run out and who have stopped looking for work, thus no longer meeting the government's official definition of "unemployed."
RELATED: Can economy's 2010 growth spurt last? Five clues.
Others pointed out that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) adjusts its population figures every January, so the new percentage may just reflect that adjustment.
One economist joked that maybe aliens had kidnapped many formerly unemployed workers.
"The more you look at this report – you cannot connect the dots and make sense of it," says Robert Brusca, an economist at Fact & Opinion Economics in New York and the economist who joked about the aliens. "We just have to wait to next month to see if that makes sense."
According to the BLS's survey of establishments, the economy netted only 36,000 new jobs last month, well below Wall Street's forecast of 145,000 new positions.

Little Foodie Babies: Tips, Tricks & Recipes!
Posted by Selena Burgess
Starting your baby on solids or getting your toddler to eat their greens are a couple of widespread parenting hurdles that we all have to cross.
I propose that it doesn't have to be all so intimidating if we just get back to some nutritious basics.
These are just some of the things that have worked for our family. Hopefully some of our experiences and recipes will serve as a resource to you in dishing up a wholesome, magical mealtime for your own little ones as they develop their taste buds and personalties!

Click through for recipes, tips and tricks that have all become a part of our culinary routine!
Small Servings
Tiny portions are way less intimidating and they usually ask for seconds instead of fighting us over taking the first bite.
Click here for Babble's Baby Feeding Guide!
How Does Your Garden Grow?
Take your little ones seasonal fruit picking, grow some of your own fruits and vegetables or support your local farmer's markets. Making the purchase of food a fun family outing is a great way to begin your baby/toddler's positive relationship and respect for good, nutritious food. Gardening is also a wonderful way to nurture their love for fresh food and nature, plus they learn such a valuable life skill.
Click here for 10 tips on gardening with a toddler and/or baby!
Trying New Things
I'm all about letting my little ones to try new food but the key thing is that I don't force them to eat anything. I'm pretty vocal on suggesting they at least try something, just one bite – but I don't get into an all-out battle with them about it. Trying new food usually works best when it's something I'm eating too, or is a pleasing sensory experience. Textures, sharp tastes and smells, etc.

Bake With & For Them
I've been on a steady learning path in the kitchen since having children. I've always been into food and cooking, but I've really delved into learning about nutrition and sugar-free, low carb baking. Because, as we know, sugar babies/toddlers are just not a good combo. Also, as a mom – I want to teach them the value of respecting and caring for our bodies, health and nutrition as well as a love (not fear) for delicious food.
Click here for 5 tips on baking with toddlers
Monkey See, Monkey Do
Since I do a lot of food blogging, I take a lot of pictures. My baby and toddler have gotten so used to this that my eldest will say, "take maw picther wiff this!" Or he'll instruct his sister to say cheese. How does this get them to eat? Basically anything revolving around a fun activity involving food puts a positive spin on what can sometimes be considered a chore or a down-right melt-down fest. I still can't get them to eat kale though. (Unless it's baked into something or in a smoothie.) One day, one day.
Have Nutritious Snacks on The Ready
Once a week I prep up a bunch of fruit and veggies for easy snaking throughout the week. Things like pineapple, cantaloupe, watermelon, carrots and celery sticks that require some work before eating make quick grabs in the early morning or on the fly nice and easy. I also try to bake a batch of healthy muffins and cookies once a week. Cheaper and healthier, but still yummy!

Smoothies = Trickery
Oh heck yes. I'm all about tricking my little ones into eating their greens. Despite what the 'experts' have to say about that.

Asparagus & Couscous Lovers
Asparagus has always been the one vegetable that I can count on. For whatever reason both of my little ones love it and gobble it up no coercion necessary. Same goes for whole wheat couscous. Messiest thing EVER. These are couple of my last-minute dinner side dishes that I can steam up in a flash to serve with grilled (or baked) chicken breasts or fish, faster than waiting for take-out pizza.
Making Food Fun
I'm full-on into making themed food when the occasion calls for it. I get a nerdy sense of enjoyment out of it and my kids LOVE that action.
Click here to read more on making food fun for babies and toddlers
Food is a Celebration
Since birth our babes have been subject to many a dinner party. Regular extended family dinners, music and BBQ nights with friends, big ceremony (Native) and holiday feasts are all frequent occurrences. We eat together almost every night (business/work schedules permitting) and have blessings and conversational theme traditions every meal. Even when they were too young to speak or perhaps get it – eating together and lingering over the dinner table is definitely not a foreign concept.
Pizza From Scratch
Doesn't happen all the time (you bet I still order take-out pizza on occasion, this isn't about being perfect) – but I've discovered some tricks on making pizza from scratch less intimidating and SO TASTY.
Click here for the recipe!
Play With Your Food
The old school mantra of teaching your kids to not play with their food is so yesterday. (In my humble opinion.) The more fun you have as a family at the table, the more likely your babes and toddlers will be to learn to love and look forward to mealtime!

Coexistence of humans and robots is a keyword of the robot technology for increasing the quality of life. The explicit and implicit coexistence are both important; e.g. a cooperative work with the robot is explicit and an imperceptive work without the human's seeing is implicit. In this demonstration, a human following a robot with sneaking action is realized. The robot tracks and follows a person by using a 2D LiDAR. While the person stops, the robot hides in a blind area from the person. This algorithm might be useful for cleaning robots without disturbing the people and security robots to track a suspicious person.
For autonomous mobile robots, it is an serious problem to remove an obstacle which blocks the road. In this demonstration, the robot examines an obstacle whether it can be moved or not. When it is movable, the robot removes it from the way.
This robot navigates users to their destination just like a guide dog, but it is not particularly designed for the blind. It is rather for people who want to be free from being busy planning their path to the goal in their mind. Transit time is one of the biggest wasteful thing in the world (At least in my opinion). This system helps the users spend more productive time - such as talking with other people and thinking about nice idea - while just walking to their destination. In order to use the system, users need to register the location of their destination and the time they want to get there on Google Calendar. When the time comes, the robot urges its owner to start moving. The users put their smartphone in the handlebar mounted on the robot, with a dedicated App activated. When the handlebar is tilted forward, the robot moves forward to the destination. The robot avoids its obstacles automatically in their way. And thus the users are safely navigated to the place without realizing.
For autonomous navigation, the mobile robot needs to be given the map of the environment and to be instructed the route. This problem makes difficult to set up a autonomous navigation robot quickly. But, I want to demonstrate a autonomous navigation robot anytime and anywhere, because I am a mobile robot researcher. This demonstration shows the mapping and the route instruction within 5 minutes, and finally robot move the route automatically. In this demonstration, 1st step is that robot move manually for mapping, 2nd step is to edit the autonomous navigation route, 3rd step is the autonomous navigation. The map use the observed probability of laser scan points for robust localization and the map is built automatically while robot move manually. The route edit do easy by GUI route editor. In autonomous navigation, the robot moves on the designated route and estimate self position by matching the map and laser scanner readings.
This robot wander with avoiding obstacles. Robot speed up when a chaser come close from back. I used a web camera and laser scanner as external sensors. Robot determines the route by the potential method to measure the distance to surrounding objects in laser scanner. Robot gets the behind image from the web camera and determines the translational velocity by the estimated distance from the chaser. I wrote only 300 lines myself for this program but it work fine. If you like robot, maybe you like its program also.

MISSOULA - It's a sure sign of winter - a popular Missoula ski hill has opened for the season. Snowbowl got the lifts running at 9:30 a.m. on Friday, and say they've got 30" of snow at the summit.
The top of the mountain will be the only area open, so that means the number of skiers who can hit the slopes will be limited. Three of the four lifts are open, with 11 of the 40 runs ready to go.
The ski area will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. of Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for now, and to mark the start of the season, day tickets are reduced to $30 for adults, students and seniors. It'll cost $15 for kids to hit the slopes.

Audemat Updates Relio
Miami - Aug 30 2011 - Audemat will unveil a new version of its remote facility control unit, the Relio, at the 2011 Radio Show in Chicago. The Relio version 3 features a faster and more powerful core operating system and new audio inputs and outputs. This means that a broadcaster can use the unit to monitor audio at the site, trigger alarms or other actions on silence and provide backup audio from the Relio itself.
The added features expand the capabilities of the Relio yet further, building in several additional failsafe measures to ensure the station stays on air.
Audemat's Relio can be configured to connect with any equipment at a site through traditional status and metering inputs and commands (relays), or via advanced connections to other equipment using serial protocols or SNMP via an IP network. All units linked to the Relio can then be monitored and controlled locally and remotely via a variety of communications modes both network (ADSL, LAN, GSM) and local/analog (local KVM, POTS line).

Quercus wislizenii
Interior Live Oak
Evergreen, Trees
QUERCUSThe archetypal oak grows large and spreads wide, with muscular, near-horizontal lower branches that seem to defy gravity. But the group's 500 species, all native to the Northern Hemisphere, also include upright, pyramidal, and shrubby oaks; in fact, "chaparral" comes from chaparra—Spanish for a dwarf evergreen shrub oak. Oak leaves can be deciduous or evergreen (the latter are called live oaks); lobed, toothed, or smooth edged; but they're always arranged in an alternate pattern along stems. Some have terrific fall color. All oaks produce inconspicuous flowers followed by acorns, whose single nuts have cuplike caps covered with closely set scales. Some kinds of acorns are edible and sweet, while others are bitter and unpalatable.
Oaks come in two broad categories: white oaks have acorns that mature during the season in which they are produced, and often have leaves with rounded lobes; red and black oaks have acorns that take two seasons to mature, and often have leaves with pointed lobes. Each group can hybridize only within itself.
Quercus wislizeniiThis evergreen tree is native to the Sierra foothills, eastern side of Coast Ranges, and the interior valleys from southern Oregon to Southern California. Grows to 30–75 ft. tall, often broader than high, with a dense, rounded canopy. Elliptical glossy green leaves have smooth or spiny edges and abruptly pointed tip. Slender, conical, sharp-pointed, 3/4–1 1/2-in. acorns are enclosed by one-fourth to one-half in a flat-scaled cap. Handsome tree for parks and big lawns. Young plants are sparse and angular, offering little hint of their ultimate beauty.

It's JR Cash's first big moment. Dressed in black, auditioning for record exec Sam Phillips, he launches into AN Other song about God. Stopped after a minute because "Gospel doesn't sell", a taken aback Cash mumbles, "I've got some songs I wrote while I was in the Air Force. You got anything against the Air Force?"
"No," replies Phillips.
"I do," says Cash, before launching into 'Folsom Prison Blues' ("I shot a man in Reno/Just to watch him die"). It's a typical moment from the Man In Black: confused, confrontational, honest and, as with most of Walk The Line, spine-tinglingly affecting.
The first chord is struck in 1968 at Folsom Prison. A baying throng of rapists and murderers heave with anticipation. A riff is licked and the prison erupts. It's a toe-tapping start. Yet Cash is offstage – sweating, brooding, silent – having never fully emerged from the dark cloud of his youth. Poet to the underprivileged and the incarcerated, yet slave to the big three of rock'n'roll (drugs, groupies, shades) Cash, and muse Carter, lived a fascinating, biopic-ripe life.
And many actors would have baulked at jumping into such a ring of fire, Cash'n'Carter being such a great love story – longing, hurt... rewarded. Yet, playing and singing every single note, Phoenix and Witherspoon somehow, wonderfully, turn in sincere, throat-lumping portrayals. The pair are vocally assured (sure, Phoenix lacks Cash's vocal richness, but his deep larynxing never galls) and best when sharing a bedroom or a stage. Witness, for instance, Witherspoon's on-the-twirl transformation from sad-sack every-dayer to "How y'all doing?" act and you'll struggle to think of a better female lead this year.
With their romance so aching, the couple turn Cash's first wife Vivian (Ginnifer Goodwin) into a passionless pantomime villain, while a biopic-by-numbers middle eight drags. Still, director James Mangold deserves credit for pulling us through to an absurdly involving last hour (Carter/Cash duetting on Dylan's 'It Ain't Me Babe'; Cash with his sacks of drugs and Pete Doherty-style meltdown; the live shows' iridescent energy). No Man In Black on your iPod? That's sure to change...
At a pills'n'booze Thanksgiving dinner, Cash Sr reduces his son to a "big old empty house, children you never see... nothing". He's slamming the simmering side of Cash – the one we see the most – Johnny without June, maestro without muse, Phoenix without Witherspoon. But, as is always the way with car crash rock'n'rollers, it's also the magnetic side. Cash fan or just cashing in, Walk The Line focuses on not only the country class hero, but also his inspirations: sex, drugs, murder, salvation, depression and, above all, love.
Passionately made and superbly played. A snapshot of Cash's life that, like his songs, captures trauma and triumph. Play on, Mr and Mrs Oscar...

I don't think there is a plant that would live in that sort of environment, even if it did it would make the basement dark because it would cut off all light. If you don't like looking at it why not paint the inside of the well or decorate the space with a gazing ball or some other garden art that will give you something to look at but not cut off the light |
My sister-in-law is talking about doing something similar, but I think the window well will be about half as high as the ones you're showing. She will need to open her window in order to water the plants, but the clear plastic protector should work as a sort of greenhouse. She's going to try some herbs like that. I'll let you know how it works out! |
I attended a high-end garden tour, this weekend, and saw some very creative and artistic gardens. At least two of the homes we toured had plants in their window wells. The plants I saw were hostas, but there were other shade plants used. It was beautifuul and caught everyone's comments and attention. I say go for it!! -Sprout |

"There are no strangers here—just friends you have yet to meet," so reads the motto painted on the parchment-colored walls of Maggie O'Neill's foyer. The pub aims to live up to this neighborly ethos by offering up an inviting hangout space with three stories. In the top-floor bar area, you can sip on a draft beer, play shuffleboard, or catch a basketball game on TV. The downstairs dining area has table draped in linens, and you can head here to enjoy beer-battered fish and chips and golden-brown shepherd's pie.
Maggie O'Neill's décor is an homage to Ireland: there's a hand-painted Guinness ad on the building's exterior, and the bartop is made of dark varnished wood. Along the walls inside, you might notice the Poet's Corner, which is dedicated to famous Irish authors. It has impassioned musings on art from James Joyce, witty nuggets of wisdom from Jonathan Swift, and Brendan Behan's rhymed shopping lists.
It can be difficult to tear your gaze from Tavola Restaurant & Bar's dining-room windows, which overlook the lush rolling hills, majestic pines, and rustic gazebo of the surrounding country club. But soon, an enticing aroma compels your nose to turn toward the kitchen. Inside, chefs bustle about, folding fresh herbs, aromatic sauces, and crisp vegetables into a variety of Italian specialties—including the buttery shrimp scampi lauded by reporters from CBS Philly. A nearby brick oven melts mozzarella cheese onto gourmet pizzas.
The elegant dining room hosts diners swirling strings of pasta beside chandelier-illuminated oil paintings, and the cushy white sofas of the bar area support guests sipping Italian and American wines. Those seeking the best views venture to the outdoor patio, where they can watch seasoned golfers play on Springfield Country Club's course or make sand angels in the sand traps.
Bogart's Bar & Grill comforts diners through a menu of hearty American sandwiches and entrees. Piled-high chicken nachos send morsels of tender poultry skiing down a cheese-slathered mountain of tortilla chips complete with jalapeño peppers and mini ski lifts ($8.99) . For the main dish, staff can hand-carve slow-roasted slabs of meat to stuff au-jus-sprinkled kaiser rolls, crafting Bogart's signature roast-beef sandwiches ($7.29). Alternately, opt for a hot entree, such as the Yuengling fish 'n' chips, for which kitchen craftsmen slather a cod fillet in beer batter before a dip in the deep-fryer turns it crispy, readying it to take its place for a photo op beside a giggling group of waffle-fry fans ($11.99).
Every year, the Radnor Hunt Concours d'Elegance offers a presentation of classic automobiles during a slew of engine-revving events, encouraging mingling between proud owners and spectators. In the past, auto enthusiasts have cried antifreeze tears while marveling at everything from pristine Henderson motorcycles to sleek, aerodynamic Ferraris.
A Havertown Institution that has been serving the local Delaware County community for over 10 years. Exceptional atmosphere with great outside dinning and a traditional American style pub menu that compliments the vast craft beer list. Formerly a bank the location is refurbished and serves the locals great food & drink!
Ever since its first location opened in 1994, very rarely is there a quiet moment at J.D. McGillicuddy's. Crowds watching the Phillies cheer and groan in unison, and members of bachelorette parties dance around groups of old friends meeting for a drink. The only time the noise dips is when the staff brings out plates of the house's flavorful pub food. Wings, burgers, pizzas, and nachos fill the menu, with East Coast twists such as Old Bay seasoning and jumbo lump crabmeat. Each spacious location has also been known to host special events, from DJ-spun theme nights and pub crawls to Easter breakfasts.
