We're going ring shopping. At least that's the plan. We'll be in San Francisco for the Martin Luther King Day weekend and we'll go browsing for the rings. He knows the designers he wants, the metals, and the overall aesthetic. I know that I'll probably have a seizure when I see the price, and I'll swallow it to make him happy. The official engagement will come sometime in June, the party shortly after, the wedding a year after that. No matching tuxes (not a fan), loft reception, color palate: plum, gray, gold. He'll do most of the planning- he always does. I'll sit back and marvel at the fact that we got to this point.
It's still not legal here, obviously, but that, ironically, seems like a minor detail. We have a list of places, a list of contingencies just in case it doesn't become so in the next two years. I'm partial to Seattle, where his cousin lives and we can easily get everything done at City Hall with time to spare for a nice honeymoon on Victoria Island. New York is also a possibility, as is Boston. But both he and I are pretty confident that we can stay in our own neck of the woods for the wedding. It happened here once; it'll happen again.
You wonder when it became such a banality, such a commonplace, at least mentally, at least for us. When I first came out, five years ago, I didn't really think it would ever be in the cards. It was one of those things even queer folks talked about with the proviso: "One day." As in: "One day, it'll happen. One day, we'll have the right to do it."
And then, it just did. California happened in 2008, and then unhappened in the same year. Iowa and the New England states happened and stayed that way. DC. A mess of European countries, Canada, South Africa, Argentina. New York. Last year: Washington, Maryland, Maine. By the time you read this, they'll hopefully be marrying same-sex couples in Chicago and Providence. If not, maybe the next month or the month after that. Trying to write about same-sex marriage is like trying to write about the day's weather: today, it's one thing; tomorrow, it's another.
In any case, we're setting the wheels in motion.
The questions that remain to be answered are unfamiliar ones, ones without clear and comfortable answers. Should we have a ceremony? If so, what type of ceremony? A religious, Christian wedding is out: I haven't been to church (thank God) in 3 years; he was raised an unobservant Chinese Buddhist. Plus, I'm not sure whether I see the logic of or agree with the ethics of a religious same-sex wedding. Even if the pastor/priest/rabbi is down with it, I'm not sure whether we should be down with them. History's not too sunny when it comes to God and queer folks, whether we're talking a thousand years ago or last week. Secular and civil seems a good bet- most comfortable, most in line with what we want. But then still more details: Who to invite? Private or public? An elopement or with all of our friends and family? In a botanical garden, in some suburban city hall, in a backyard? On a boat, with a goat?
Running over all this, ab absurdam, I become more circumspect, critical. Why? Twenty years of battling, of choosing this- along with the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"- as our number one issue? Choosing to fight for our right to mimic our parents, to get dressed up and reenact THE symbol of gender and sexual repression? And for an audience of the same people who raged and spat and threw tantrums when they found out we were something other than who they are: for mom, for pop, for baseball, for apple pie, for God, for country.
Is this just part of the plan, then? Take off the cock-rings and the muscle shirts. Put aside the pink triangles and the pride parades and the drag shows. Take up the tux, the diaper pack, the picket fence: the instruments of modern, all-American gayness. All-American, Christmas light-hanging, PTA-joining, cul-de-sac queers.
Who knows? It very well could be. Truth is that I am white and he is Asian and we're both entitled and privileged and college-educated and bourgeois. Truth is that we were raised in and continue to live in a society that is both patriarchal and heteronormative. Truth is we want suburban banality, kids, a joint 401K, and a place in an area with good schools and low crime.
So we'll get started on the rings next week. We'll go through the back and forth, the "can't afford that," "hate this," "like that" process of winnowing and rejecting. He'll love it. I'll have my doubts as to the logic and reason of it all. We'll work it out, like any couple.
Why should we straight folks be the only ones to suffer.......?!
(*Just kiddin'....... Congratulations!*)
I'm also in a same-sex relationship. Because we are both liberal Christians, we had a church ceremony and then registered as Domestic Partners. But that's not because we want to be just like straight folk. I understand your misgivings about all that. Basically, we just wanted to express our commitment in a public way and celebrate it with our loved ones. That's all it needs to be about.
Oh. And as others have said: Congratulations!
My FP (Froggy Prediction) today is that the military will push it to happen nationally. What happens when a couple is married in Washington State, and one is in the military? Do they get to live on base in married housing? Then what happens when they get transferred to Kansas? Is that spouse still allowed to live on base? Can that spouse get military medical insurance? What happens when they get shipped to a base in Germany, where military dependents can use base hospitals, grocery stores, laundromats, banks, and so on? Do legally married same sex partners get moving expenses for going overseas? Are same sex married military partners considered next of kin? Do they get military pensions if the spouse is killed in action?
This thorny mess of questions is going to bubble to the surface soon in the military because they are so mobile across state lines, and they have to have uniform rules and regulations for everyone. It's gonna happen. Soon.

I have been an affilate of Hostmonster for a couple of years now, bringing sales to them from my websites and from my recommendation to my friends.
I had used their service a few years ago simply because they are very affordable to start a new website. And as time passed, I have too many websites and they may sometimes require high traffic due to Facebook campaign and so on. Now, I am with Mediatemple and I may use Amazon Web Services at times too.
I have always been recommending Hostmonster to my friends who are just starting out and their traffic is significantly small. They have all the basic requirements covered such as PHP, MySQL, SMTP and POP3. And there is virtually no space limitation for you to store your files.
Over this weekend, they are having a Black Friday sale – They are selling their hosting at $1 less, which means as low as $3.95 per month! I think this is really a good deal to grab if you are still looking out for a hosting plan.

Rodney O'Neal, a 1976 Kettering University graduate who is currently the president and CEO of Delphi Automotive, wrote about his education and career experiences in the New York Times this week. From the article:
When I was a senior in high school, the General Motors Institute, now Kettering University, was diversifying. My counselor recommended that I attend G.M.I., but I told her I was interested in studying computer science at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. My counselor went so far as to fill out a G.M.I. application and slip it into my locker. I signed it and sent it in just to have her leave me alone. Soon after, G.M.I. sent me an acceptance letter. Attending G.M.I. worked out well because I didn't know how I would pay for Miami, and the institute had a cooperative program in which I attended classes for six weeks, then worked for six weeks.
After graduating in 1976, I worked at G.M. as a production engineer, making steering wheels. A year later, I became a front line supervisor. I loved the manufacturing floor and learning about different operations. A majority of my crew were women, who helped me learn the job. I learned that people want to help one another. You're responsible for a job, but you can't do it alone.

Virginia Gardens Man Charged with Dealing in Firearms Without a License
Wifredo A. Ferrer, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Hugo Barrera, Special Agent in Charge, Miami Field Division, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Al Lamberti, Sheriff, Broward County Sheriff's Office (BSO) and Ric Bradshaw, Sheriff, Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO) announce the filing of a criminal information charging Jose Antonio Quintana, 55, of Virginia Gardens, Florida, with one count of dealing in firearms without a federal firearms license, in violation of Title 18, Untied States Code, Sections 922(a)(1)(A). In addition, the United States seeks the forfeiture of 90 rifles, 78 shotguns, 418 handguns and approximately 25,000 rounds of ammunition that were seized from Quintana as part of the investigation.
Quintana is scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday, August 24, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. before the West Palm Beach Duty Magistrate. If convicted, he faces a possible maximum statutory sentence of up to five years in prison.
According to the criminal complaint previously filed in the case, Quintana attended numerous gun shows across the State Florida between November 2008 and July 7, 2012. At each gun show, Quintana sold firearms as purported "private sales." This practice allowed Quintana to benefit from a cash business without the expense of operating a storefront, reporting his activity to ATF, completing any ATF paperwork (ATF Form 4473), and without conducting the required background checks of any customers.
During this period, undercover ATF agents purchased eleven (11) firearms, valued at $6,115.00 from Quintana at various gun shows. In one of the undercover purchases, Quintana claimed that the law allowed him to privately sell a reasonable unspecified quantity of firearms. In the recorded conversation, Quintana stated, "Let us say, twelve, twenty four, thirty six, fifty, firearms per year. Let us say, reasonable. . . I surpassed that a long time ago."
Mr. Ferrer commended the investigative and cooperative efforts of ATF, BSO and PBSO. Mr. Ferrer also thanked the Miami-Dade Police Department, the Miami Beach Police Department, the City of Miami Police Department, and the Virginia Gardens Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Adam McMichael.
A criminal information is only an accusation and a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

If schools aren't closed at the elementary level the Kamloops-Thompson School District will consider extensive job cuts to balance a deficit budget, the chairman of the school board said Sunday.
"It's getting more and more difficult to avoid that," said Ken Christian.
Christian doesn't know how widespread the layoffs would be, but everyone from teachers to administrators could be affected, he said.
"It will be up to the board to decide but, if they don't (close schools), they are going to have to start laying off extensive numbers of people," said Christian.
Trustees have saved about $1.6 million toward a more than $3-million budget shortfall during the first two rounds of school reconfigurations.
Instead of closing rural schools, trustees elected to maintain the schools with reduced services. The school district also changed secondary schools on a school-by-school basis to avoid an unpopular move to senior and junior high schools.
The school district begins a series of public meetings Jan. 12 on the future of French immersion. Christian said a dwindling English population at French immersion schools prompted school district staff to consider single-track schools.
He said the student population at Marion Schilling is one-third English track and two-thirds French. This has created English classes with multiple grade levels.
"We're dealing with 50 per cent occupancy at some of these schools," he said, adding the district's plan asks some schools to consolidate and others to close.
Christian said the district must still save about $1.4 million and, because closures were avoided at the rural level, it will be harder to do so this time.
As with previous rounds of public meetings, district staff will gather input and come up with alternatives. Christian said no one likes to close schools, but the budget must be balanced.
Not everyone is convinced layoffs need to happen. Kamloops-Thompson Teachers' Association president David Komljenovic said positions are cut every year, but enough people retire to avoid layoffs. He hopes this will be the case in 2010.
He said trustees should stand up to the province and propose a protest budget that places the blame for closures on the government.
"Why would trustees have to submit a balanced budget when the government goes into deficit?" said Komljenovic.
Trustee Gerald Watson said the odds are against the school district submitting a protest budget to Victoria.
School districts are required by the School Act to submit a balanced budget every spring, and that takes staff months to prepare. It would be impossible to produce two budgets, he said.
The meeting for Ralph Bell and Marion Schilling takes place Jan. 12 at 7 p.m. and Henry Grube Education Centre.

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
A recipe for oregano-based pesto that's delicious over eggs, toast, chicken, potatoes, and even grilled cheese sandwiches.
This recipe is delicious and doesn't last long at my house. We eat it on eggs, pasta, pizza, potatoes, and even grilled cheese sandwiches. It's just as good, (if not better) than your typical basil pesto and the perfect solution to harvesting.....
This recipe is a tad intense to prep. But all the fuss is forgotten when the heat hits the pot — the perfume of the lemons and lovely pink hue that the onions bring to the picture dispel all memory of tedium. This is truly a gorgeous jam.
Growing and drying your own herbs makes for an intensely flavored result, especially when you blend them to make this indispensable combination.
Growing up friends would never have an opportunity to try or would absolutely never put these in their mouths. So for all those friends who don't like Black Eyed Peas... thanks mom, more for me!
Using dried chiles (some from my garden), I made up a batch of homemade chile powder. Super easy. The aroma is amazing. And, it tastes so much better than that store-bought stuff. Great as a spice or a condiment.
Tender yet crisp carrot rounds that have been marinated in a tangy, earthy blend of vinegar, oregano, cumin, onions, and chiles de arbol. A few slices of jalapeño are added for extra heat, but unlike other escabeches, carrots play the leading role.
Multiple explorations into the technique of Brining. An absolute must for home grilled ribs.
Tame the beast! Turducken, turkey stuffed with duck stuffed with chicken, let's face it, not something you want to make yourself. My alternative: Turducken sausages slow-smoked over mesquite. Get your grinders going folks! Neat video to go with.
House cured bacon that I flavored with garlic, ground guajillo, cumin and mexican oregano. I cooked my bacon into frijoles charros a classic mexican dish from my youth. check it out!

Spinal reflexes are mediated by synaptic connections between sensory afferents and motor neurons. The organization of these circuits shows several levels of specificity. Only certain classes of proprioceptive sensory neurons make direct, monosynaptic connections with motor neurons. Those that do are bound by rules of motor pool specificity: they form strong connections with motor neurons supplying the same muscle, but avoid motor pools supplying antagonistic muscles. This pattern of connectivity is initially accurate and is maintained in the absence of activity, implying that wiring specificity relies on the matching of recognition molecules on the surface of sensory and motor neurons. However, determinants of fine synaptic specificity here, as in most regions of the central nervous system, have yet to be defined. To address the origins of synaptic specificity in these reflex circuits we have used molecular genetic methods to manipulate recognition proteins expressed by subsets of sensory and motor neurons. We show here that a recognition system involving expression of the class 3 semaphorin Sema3e by selected motor neuron pools, and its high-affinity receptor plexin D1 (Plxnd1) by proprioceptive sensory neurons, is a critical determinant of synaptic specificity in sensory-motor circuits in mice. Changing the profile of Sema3e-Plxnd1 signalling in sensory or motor neurons results in functional and anatomical rewiring of monosynaptic connections, but does not alter motor pool specificity. Our findings indicate that patterns of monosynaptic connectivity in this prototypic central nervous system circuit are constructed through a recognition program based on repellent signalling.

text: When shopping for a Reverse Osmosis (RO) or a Reverse Osmosis/Deionization (RO/DI) Water Filter there are many options, configurations and vendors to choose from. It can be very bewildering. May we suggest you look through the various options and our view of their relative value. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail or call us. Yes, you can get cheap water filters especially if you shop around on-line. However, not all water filters are created equal. You really need to understand what you are getting for your money. Here are some things to look for in a filter unit: - Number of stages: This is the first question we usually get. As a rule, the more stages the more filtration. What we describe here applies to filters offered by AquaFX and may not apply to all vendors. - A Tap Water Purifier uses only deionization and does not have a Reverse Osmosis membrane. This is a good system for low volume applications, but without a RO membrane the cartridges can get used up quickly depending on the purity of your source water - A two stage is a Reverse Osmosis (RO) unit with only a carbon filter. It does not have deionization (DI) nor does it have a sediment filter. Without a sediment filter you run the risk of prematurely clogging up your carbon filter. When the carbon filter fails, it can pass chlorine to the membrane and destroy it. - A three stage has the sediment and carbon filters, but is RO-only, lacking DI. - A four stage has a sediment filter, a carbon filter, a RO membrane and a DI cartridge to remove all impurities that the membrane did not remove. - A five stage filter is similar to the 4-stage unit but has two DI units instead of one. However, not all 5-stage filters are the same. Some 5-stages have carbon cartridges (Drinking Water Systems) and some have DI cartridges (RO/DI filters for aquariums and aquaculture). - A 9-stage has a sediment filter and a carbon filter, three RO membranes, three DI cartridges plus a booster pump (the ninth stage) to increased the efficiency of the membranes - For most marine and reef applications, a 4-Stage unit with one DI cartridge is adequate. Some users prefer a 5-Stage unit with two DI cartridges {product_snapshot:id=39,false,false,false,} so they can maximize their DI usage and have a backup in case they are not monitoring their cartridge use closely. A RO-only system is fine for many freshwater aquarium and a drinking water kit can be added.. A complete RO Drinking Water System can be purchased for home use. - Membrane quality: There are several membranes out on the market but Dow and Filmtec are the best. Some are just plain junk. Membranes are rated by their manufactures. There is no standard, so one manufacturer might report their output at 100 psi, 70 degrees F and use very clean source water, claiming they have a 100 GPD membrane; when actually at your home you may get 50 gallon per day. Dow on the other hand is VERY conservative ALMOST always customers report over production of their membranes rating. Click here to view the Technical Data Sheet of the membranes we use. - Membrane flush kit: Used to flush out scale and salt deposits on your membrane. Membrane flush kits help to keep your membrane in top shape. - Frame construction: Some units use metal frames, some use plastic. Plastic can warp, sag, crack and break and are not well suited for larger multiple-stage units. - Cartridge housing quality: Cheap housings can crack and leak. Not a something you want to come home to. - Cartridge housing material: Clear canisters allow you to monitor the performance of your cartridges. For example you can see if your sediment filter is getting dirty or when your DI cartridge is almost used up and you need to order a replacement before it is used up. - Pressure gauge: Essential to monitor the back pressure from your membrane. A sure way to know if your membrane is getting clogged. - Fittings: Brass fittings or any other metal parts are unacceptable, especially for a reef tank! We really like Quick Connect fittings. If you ever have to change a membrane or move your filter, this will make your life a lot easier. - TDS meter (handheld or in-line): Use this instrument to monitor the performance of your membrane and DI units. An inline TDS meter can monitor the membrane effluent and DI effluent by just flicking a switch. |

Game 54: Yankees vs. Twins
The Yankees play the second of three games today against the Minnesota Twins, and it's Masahiro Tanaka's turn to take the ball. Minnesota is starting right-hander Kevin Correia. Joe Girardi was asked this morning what he has learned recently about Tanaka, who comes into this start 7-1 with a 2.29 ERA.
"I've talked about, he really knows how to make adjustments," Girardi said. "He's highly competitive and loves to be in this situation. I guess if you'd say anything we've learned, he can hit a little bit. He had some pretty decent swings over at Citi Field after the first swings we saw weren't so good. He's consistent, is what he is. And he gives you a chance to win every time he goes out there."
Here are some quick hits from the Yankees' media relations department:
AT A GLANCE: Today the Yankees play the second game of a three-game series vs. Minnesota at Yankee Stadium…are 9-6 over their last 15G since 5/14 with the Majors' second-best team ERA over the stretch (2.78 ERA, 139.0IP, 43ER, 132H, 31BB, 139K).
DAY OWLS: The Yankees are 13-5 (.722) in day games this season, marking the second-best such winning pct. in the Majors (San Francisco, 15-5, .750)…are just 15-20 in night games in 2014…over the last four seasons, are a Major League- best 122-61 (.667) in day games.
TAKING IT FROM THE TOP: With starter Vidal Nuno allowing 4ER in Friday's loss vs. Minnesota, Yankees starters had their streak of allowing 3ER or fewer in 14 straight games snapped…posted a 2.82 ERA (83.0IP, 26ER) over the stretch from 5/14-28, marking the fourth-lowest starters ERA in the Majors over that span…was the longest such streak by a Yankees starting staff since a 15-game streak from 6/14-7/1/09.
Here are today's lineups:
Brian Dozier 2B Kevin Correia RHP (2-6, 6.34) |
Brett Gardner LF Masahiro Tanaka RHP (7-1, 2.29) |
Game 49: Yankees at White Sox
The Yankees turned in their room keys and packed their bags this morning. This rare six-game, two-stadium, one-hotel segment of the road trip is coming to an end, as the Yankees and White Sox wrap up their four-game series this afternoon at U.S. Cellular Field. Masahiro Tanaka and Andre Rienzo comprise the pitching matchup, with first pitch set for 2:10 p.m. ET.
Here's the quick hits from today's notebook:
"Just watch me in the game," Tanaka said.
As Tanaka takes the mound on Sunday for his 10th big league start, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that he has come to expect a confident attitude from the 25-year-old right-hander, for whom no challenge seems to be too great.
"The adjustments he's made in games, the adjustments he's made to the five man rotation, the culture — everything that he's done so far to this point would make you believe that he doesn't make too much of one game," Girardi said. "There's been a lot of games that he hasn't been happy with at one point in the game and he's pitched pretty well. He has high expectations."
Here are the lineups:
Brett Gardner LF Masahiro Tanaka RHP (6-1, 2.39) |
Adam Eaton CF Andre Rienzo RHP (4-0, 4.00) |
Game 48: Yankees at White Sox
After last night's stunning ninth-inning loss, the Yankees will try to shake it off and get back at it this afternoon against the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field. This place has been no fun for the Yanks, who have lost eight straight games at the Cell. A loss today would drop the Yankees back to .500. Here's the quick hits from today's notebook:
- Brian Roberts was not in the Yankees' lineup on Saturday, one day after fouling a ball off his right kneecap, but manager Joe Girardi believes that the second baseman is available to come off the bench.
Roberts hurt his knee in the fourth inning of New York's 6-5 loss to the White Sox, and stayed in the game until the ninth, when he was replaced by Brendan Ryan at second base. Ryan started at second base on Saturday, and Girardi said that Roberts "is a player today for me in case of emergency."
"Anytime you hit something off your kneecap, you worry about it; you;re concerned you could have a crack or [it could] shatter," Girardi said. "It's a sensitive area, but for the most part, he feels pretty decent. He's sore, but there's really no swelling. Hopefully we won't need him today and he'll be a player tomorrow."
- Matt Thornton received a heads-up from a White Sox staffer early on Friday that the team was planning to honor his time at U.S. Cellular Field with a brief video tribute. The Yankees reliever's response, as he recalls, was: "Are you kidding?"
It was no joke. Thornton was pushed out of the visiting dugout between innings of Friday's 6-5 Yankees loss to the White Sox, acknowledging the applause that accompanied a scoreboard message appreciating his 7 1/2 seasons with the Pale Hose from 2006-13.
"After playing there for so long, they know that I don't like stuff like that, about me," Thornton said. "I get very uncomfortable when things like that go on. They kind of ambushed me, and were like, 'Hey, whether you like it or not.' It was nice to see my teammates and the staff over there; [trainer] Herm Schneider, John Danks and Chris Sale having fun with it, clapping for me. It was nice."
- Joe Girardi had no words of advice to offer to David Robertson, one day after the Yankees closer blew his first save in 10 chances this year. None were necessary, he said.
"Just go out and do your job. It's going to happen," Girardi said. "I said it was going to happen earlier when he took over the job. Guys blow saves, it's just part of the game. They bounce back.
"He's been a huge part of our bullpen for a number of years. There's been a day or two when he's had a tough eighth inning, and he's put it behind him."
- Left-hander Vidal Nuno and catcher John Ryan Murphy were paired together as Saturday's battery, and manager Joe Girardi said that he has been pleased by how they have worked as a team.
"They've seemed to do a pretty good job together. That's kind of worked out," Girardi said. "There's been a lot of lefties in those situations. I've said, if you're going to give a guy a day off, a lot of times it's easier if they're catching the same guy all the time. I've tried to do that if I can."
Here are the lineups:
YANKEES (24-23)Brett Gardner LF Derek Jeter SS Jacoby Ellsbury CF Mark Teixeira 1B Alfonso Soriano DH Yangervis Solarte 3B Ichiro Suzuki RF John Ryan Murphy C Brendan Ryan 2B Vidal Nuno LHP (1-1, 5.82) |
WHITE SOX (25-25)Adam Eaton CF Gordon Beckham 2B Dayan Viciedo RF Adam Dunn 1B Alexei Ramirez SS Paul Konerko DH Marcus Semien 3B Adrian Nieto C Leury Garcia LF John Danks LHP (3-4, 5.64) |
Game 47: Yankees at White Sox
It's time for the second of four games here at U.S. Cellular Field, as Hiroki Kuroda heads to the mound opposite former Yankee Hector Noesi, whom the White Sox snapped up off the scrap heap after he was cut loose by the Mariners. Here's the quick hits from today's notebook:
- Remember when we were talking about Kelly Johnson being the everyday third baseman, except for when he'd be the backup first baseman? Yeah, Yangervis Solarte had other ideas. Eduardo Nunez was the immediate casualty of Solarte's hot spring, but Johnson's playing time has been reduced because Solarte has kept it up through the first seven weeks of the regular season."There's some factors you can't predict when you start talking about that stuff," said Johnson, who is starting tonight at first base while Mark Teixeira serves as the DH. "It all works out how it's supposed to work out. Obviously, No. 1, Solarte has been phenomenal. Great kid and you can't be happier for him. No. 2, I haven't done as well as I was hoping, in terms of right now."
- Ichiro Suzuki came into the season as a fifth outfielder on the Yankees' depth chart, but with Carlos Beltran on the disabled list and his return date unknown, the 40-year-old veteran is expected to see an increase in playing time. Ichiro is in the lineup tonight, playing right field."He's been really, really good," manager Joe Girardi said. "He's also been a really good pinch-hitter for us. He got on base again [Thursday] night, he handles that role really well. As we've talked about with Carlos not being here, he's going to play a lot more against right-handers."
- Derek Jeter is set to log a notable career milestone on Friday when he appeared in his 2,583rd career game at shortstop, tying Hall of Famer and former White Sox standout Luis Aparicio for second place on baseball's all-time list. Aparicio and Jeter trail only Omar Vizquel (2,709) on the all-time list."It's amazing what he's done in his career," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "The consistency, still being able to play shortstop; it's pretty amazing."
Jeter also now has 1,888 career runs scored, tying Lou Gehrig for second place on the Yankees' all-time list (Babe Ruth is first with 1,958). Jeter also ranks 10th on Major League Baseball's all-time list (Alex Rodriguez is ninth with 1,919).
Here are the lineups:
Brett Gardner LF Hiroki Kuroda RHP (3-3, 4.61) |
Adam Eaton CF Hector Noesi RHP (0-4, 7.31) |
Game 46: Yankees at White Sox
We've changed locales to the South Side of town, as the Yankees and White Sox open a four-game series here at U.S. Cellular Field tonight. Here's the quick hits of what you need to know:
- Derek Jeter played against and with Robin Ventura, and he believes that Ventura's temperament was perfect to handle the responsibilities that go with a move from the lineup to the manager's office. It's still not a career path that Jeter has any interest in pursuing.
"I'm not going to manage," Jeter said. "My temperament would be all right to be a manager, but I'm not. No. Write that down. No."
Jeter has made similar comments numerous times in the past, good-naturedly reiterating the point Thursday to a group of local reporters at U.S. Cellular Field. Jeter has often said that he'd like to call the shots as a team owner.
- Yangervis Solarte was something of a mystery to most of the Yankees' coaching staff earlier this year, but the versatile switch-hitter made an impression on infield coach Mick Kelleher, who saw great potential in those early days of spring.
"He's hungry. He's a worker. He's a quick learner and a heads-up player," Kelleher said. "None of us knew him, really. He's got a lot of great qualities to have that you look for in a player."
- Yankees right-hander Michael Pineda is rehabbing in Tampa, Fla. and has been scheduled to pitch to live hitters on Saturday, according to manager Joe Girardi. Pineda has been on the 15-day disabled list since May 6 with a right shoulder muscle injury, and has thrown bullpens of 20 to 30 pitches to this point.
"He's progressing like we want," Girardi said. "Everything is going according to plan so let's keep going forward."
- This marks the Yankees' first trip to U.S. Cellular Field since last August, a visit which was marked by Alex Rodriguez's 2013 season debut, immediately following an appeal of what was then a 211-game suspension.
The suspension was later reduced to 162 games, spanning the complete 2014 campaign. Manager Joe Girardi said that he had not given any thought to Rodriguez's situation. Asked if he had contacted Rodriguez recently, Girardi replied: "I'm not going to say."
- Girardi has been pleased with the work of 23-year-old catcher John Ryan Murphy, who started behind the plate on Thursday to give Brian McCann a break against White Sox left-hander Chris Sale.
"He's improved, there's no doubt about it, but I was pretty impressed with him when he came up last year," Girardi said.
Here are the lineups:
Jacoby Ellsbury CF David Phelps RHP (1-0, 3.33) |
Adam Eaton CF Chris Sale LHP (3-0, 2.30) |

Tolbert Painting: Tips for choosing a new paint color for your home
For a home owner, the most difficult part of a paint project is choosing a color- it's the reason I often end up painting a house the exact color it was. This doesn't have to be the case, though. Picking the right color is a great way to update the look of your home and bring some refreshing change to your dwelling.
Home owners often ask my opinion for a paint color. This is shaky ground for most painters, because no painter wants to be responsible for a bad color choice that would cause a repaint. Typically, painters shy away from helping in the decision making process, even though the title of the C-33 paint license from the state of California includes both painter and decorator.
Picking a paint color doesn't have to be this tricky; you just need to have the right tools and know where to start. Here are some tips to make the often overly-stressful process of choosing a paint color a bit easier for homeowners:
- If your home is in a Home Owner's Association (HOA), there is a good possibility that your HOA has set some close parameters on your color choices. It could be as simple as taking a look around and finding the home in your neighborhood that has a color scheme you like, and mixing and matching those color choices given by the HOA to find what works for you and the style of your home. This method is also effective for non-HOA neighborhood, driving around to see what colors work, and how different colors are flowing for your neighborhood is a good way to narrow down a color choice.
- Often times architecture can dictate the direction of a color. If you live in a Spanish Colonial style home with a mission tile roof, you're more likely to go with more Natural colors. If you live in a Victorian style home then Craftsman colors might be more to your liking. I recently had a client whose color choice for her exterior was inspired by eucalyptus bark. She had planned to isolate some of the sienna's and silvery browns in the tree and make those color choices into a pallet for her home.
- Your local paint store is a great resource for color selection. Using a Fan Deck from your local paint store is a great tool for finding and isolating colors. If you find a color in the fan deck you like, the paint store will have the formula on file for that color. Typically, paint stores also have pre made color schemes available to look at and take home with you.
When it comes down to it, color is all about personal preference and color choices very from person to person. Choosing a new paint color for you home becomes very subjective- it's all about what you like and what you have envisioned for your home. By using some of the above tips, hopefully the process of choosing a new paint color for your house becomes more fun than stressful.

Comments On Feb 28, 2015:Installs easily. Lighter than other kickstands on the market. Works great. Would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to add a kickstand to an MX bike.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Feb 23, 2015:Bolted right up. Is much stronger than the stock one. I like that it connects it two places.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Dec 23, 2014:The trail tech kick stand has function well on my 2004 KX250 and with very few options available for MX bikes I canâ??t complain; however, I did have some difficulties with it. Pros; great materials, compact and easy to use, easy to install Cons; was not a perfect fit, it rubbed on the swing arm and within 3 rides did a fair amount of damage to the arm and the kick stand. Both are still operational; however, a small design tweak could fix the issue. My solution was to limit the kick stand from going up all the way, I put a half inch stopper in and this stopped the rub and the stand still goes up enough to be out of the way.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Dec 10, 2014:Like the look of the kickstand. Mounting bracket seems pretty sturdy. The arm looks a little light and flimsy. I've went on four rides and all ok so far.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Nov 10, 2014:Very handy item especially when you need to assist your child from time to time on the trail. Easy to install and never notice it while I'm riding on trails or the track.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jul 01, 2014:Only reason it gets an average review is that it came with the wrong bolts. They send you longer bolts to replace the existing ones on the frame but the bolts they sent were wrong. I had to go and find some bolts that would work. Aside from that the stand is very sturdy. I can stand on the pegs and kick on the bike as hard as I want without worrying the stand is going to give way.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On May 25, 2014:You can't go wrong with this kickstand. Very well built and designed to fit properly. I'm very happy with my purchase of this item.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On May 26, 2014:Bought this last season and haven't had anything go wrong with it. Lots of riding and stopping to help my kids out of the mud. It's just a little too tall to try kick starting with the stand down, but that's probably safer that way anyway.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On May 06, 2014:I keep thinking it's going to break off like the stock one did, but it hasn't t yet.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Apr 22, 2014:I ride with 3 guys who have used this stand for years. Like them, I found the installation easy and the fit perfect. Stand does not rattle at all, and has held up fine through nearly 100 hours of ride time.

Villa in drop zone
Aston Villa dropped into the bottom three of the Barclays Premier League for the first time in seven years as their former loan signing Phil Bardsley earned Sunderland a 1-0 victory at Villa Park.Gerard Houllier's side slipped into the relegation zone on goal difference as a result of Wolves' shock victory over champions Chelsea at Molineux.Villa had striker Emile Heskey sent off for violent conduct before Bardsley's impressive decider from distance and then Black Cats substitute Boudewijn Zenden was given his marching orders for two bookable offences.A small section of Villa fans chanted "you are going to get sacked in the morning" towards Houllier after Bardsley had broken the deadlock.But the calls for Houllier to go were more intensified at the final whistle. The last time Villa were in such a lowly position was in November 2003 during David O'Leary's reign as manager.But Sunderland's second away win of the campaign keeps them on course for a European spot.

Pretty Little Studio Challenges!
I have finally had a break from DT projects (and some surprises coming this next month) that I had sometime to play along with the Pretty Little Challenges this week. I have missed a couple of weeks and felt good to get out my PLS goodies and play along.
My first project is for their sketch challenge. Keri Babbitt creates the BEST sketches and I really enjoy using them for inspiration.
Here is the fantastic sketch...
Instead of a layout, I made a card.
Using a Crafter's Workshop diamond stencil, I misted part of large tag. This created a great looking background for my card. I layered the tag over a piece of BG patterned paper and a scrap of PLS paper.
For the diamonds, I cut several from a piece of diamond PLS patterned paper and stitched them in place. I added one of those fun little PLS clowns, some twine, and the title. That's it...pretty quick and easy.
For the Inspiration Challenge, I used this photo as inspiration. (Source Design Seeds).
I used the new PLS Monsieur collection for my layout. It was a perfect match for this challenge.
That's all for today. Now back to DT projects. :) Have a great (rest of the) weekend! Thank you for taking the time to stop by and spend some time with me.

It is used primarily in photography, filmmaking and architecture. It manipulates human visual perception through the use of scaled objects and the correlation between them and the vantage point of the spectator or camera.

Colony1 Eco-Friendly Community to Build Sustainable "Living Building" in Wynwood
Forget San Francisco or Portland. Thanks to Colony1, Miami might be the next sustainable Shangri-La. Photos by Jayme Gershen A model of Colony1's planned "living building."
In the works in Wynwood is a community classroom, vegan kitchen, urban garden, bulk food store, and multifaceted facility, thanks to environmental pioneers Nando and Blair Jaramillo and their organization, the Art of Cultural Evolution (ACE).
The building and community hub is in its initial planning stages, but to welcome the upcoming addition, ACE is hosting a get-to-know-you neighborhood event in conjunction with Art Walk this Saturday. Pop in for some mulching fun, a vegan pot luck, fresh fruit, music and social time with some of Miami's finest minds.
The Jaramillos have made a name for themselves via their environmental efforts. For four years the couple and their children lived on a converted bus that ran on waste vegetable oil (known as WVO), and last year their organization took a vacant lot in Wynwood and turned it into a sustainable land lab that fed more than a dozen families.
Thanks to Miami's many assets -- plentiful sun, rain, and lush growing conditions -- the Jaramillos believe it's a natural choice for sustainable living.
Aboard their bus, the family traveled the country learning about the latest in conscious living and environmental sustainability -- then decided to bring the knowledge back to benefit Miami.
Recently, the county awarded the couple's organization, The Art of Cultural Evolution, a vacant lot in Wynwood to be used to construct their vision of a sustainability center.
"We're building a completely living building -- sustainable architecture, sustainable energy, sustainable water." says Blair. "It'll be the first in the southeast region of the U.S. and it will be the 15th building in the entire world to be a living building."
Designees of the "Living building" challenge are several steps up from more common environmental certifications, such as LEED certification. Basically, the building will take care of itself.

Two Benton men were arrested by Benton police Saturday for their alleged involvement with a break-in at the Benton Antique Mall. Shortly after 9 p.m., officers reportedly responded to the business after an alarm activated. Police reported that a K-9 unit observed a man exiting the rear of the building, which is at 18325 Interstate 30. Officers said they yelled at the man to stop, but the man, later identified as 53-year-old Terry Johnson, continued to flee on foot. K-9 Officer Lucky reportedly gave pursuit and apprehended Johnson.

I vividly remember watching Disney's "Cinderella" when I was 5 years old and then attempting to recreate scenes from the movie in my bedroom. There was one particular part that stood out to me, and that was when Cinderella cleaned her room. To me, even while she was completing the mundane task of making her bed, she was the epitome of grace and beauty. She sang and danced, and as she shook out the sheets, they sort of floated up and landed perfectly in place.Â
Saline County Circuit Clerk Dennis Milligan is expected to file paperwork today with the Arkansas Secretary of State's office to form an exploratory committee for the 2014 race for state treasurer, according to Jim Harris, chief of staff for the Circuit Clerk's office. An exploratory committee allows a potential candidate to raise money that can be used in a race and to determine if there is enough support to officially enter the race. Former Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Arkansas Highway Commission Chairman R. Madison Murphy of El Dorado are the co-chairmen of Milligan's committee.

Gwinnett Daily Post
It's a tribute to the Grammys' success at becoming more a musical spectacle than an awards show that on the night she made history, Beyonce was just another face in the crowd.
Pop's reigning diva earned six Grammys on Sunday, more than any woman on a single night of the 52-year-old awards show. Her anthem "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)" was song of the year. But she didn't come onstage to accept that -- her collaborators said she was prepping for a performance -- and four of her other awards came during the non-televised pre-show.
The Grammys' four biggest awards were split four ways: 20-year-old country chanteuse Taylor Swift won album of the year; family rockers Kings of Leon won record of the year for "Use Somebody"; and the Zac Brown Band was named best new artist.
The Grammys in recent years have tried to emphasize the music more than the awards, particularly by pairing younger performers with veterans. This year, producers nailed it, with a double album's worth of memorable performances.
Among the best were the Black Eyed Peas, who sang "I Gotta Feeling" with a stage filled with what looked like dancing tomatoes and robots. Lady Gaga was predictably over the top, singing "Poker Face" and getting tossed into a bucket of fire before emerging singed and combining forces with an equally dirtied and bemused Elton John.
Green Day turned its "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" into a soaring beauty by joining the cast of a new musical based on its "American Idiot" album. Opera singer Andrea Bocelli held his own with a powerful, and heart-breaking rendition of "Bridge Over Troubled Water," done for the benefit of Haitian earthquake victims.
An acrobatic Pink turned her "Glitter in the Air" into a Cirque de Soleil-like performance, hanging suspended over the audience as she sang. "That was amazing," an impressed Keith Urban said after she was done.
Memorable pairings included the white-haired, white-bearded and white-hatted Leon Russell joining the Zac Brown Band; Maxwell and Robert Flack singing a silky-smooth "Where is the Love"; and Stevie Nicks, looking like a protective mom, joining Swift on her "You Belong With Me" and Fleetwood Mac's "Rhiannon."
An arresting performance of "Forever" and "Drop the World" with rappers Lil' Wayne, Drake and Eminem was rendered virtually incomprehensible by craters of silence inserted by CBS censors. And the 3-D tribute to Michael Jackson proved overrated, with Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson, Usher, Smokey Robinson and Carrie Underwood looking like they'd joined a production number from "American Idol."
Swift, who won four Grammys, was the night's most visible winner. She beamed during her duet with Nicks, and seemed thrilled in her two acceptance speeches -- while staying poised enough to thank her record company for letting her write her own songs, and express pride at bringing the album of the year prize to Nashville.
"This is for my dad," she said. "Thank you for all the times you said I could do whatever I wanted to do."
Beyonce was low-key during her one time onstage to accept her sixth trophy of he night, for best female pop vocal on the ballad "Halo." She offered thanks to her fans for their support.
Stagecraft was smooth; Lady Antebellum singer Hillary Scott, hit in the head by a falling curtain, calmly brushed it aside without missing a note.
Host Stephen Colbert followed the new model of awards show hosts: coming out in the beginning for a handful of jokes then disappearing -- except to accept a Grammy of his own, for his surrealistic Christmas musical.
He bemoaned the absence of Susan Boyle from Grammy night.
"You may be the coolest people in the world," Colbert said, a barely amused Jay-Z looking on, "but this year your industry was saved by a 48-year-old Scottish cat lady in sensible shoes."

He can be a bit of a sniveling cunt sometimes, like when he criticizes his old review writing style a bit too often (we all make mistakes, Mark... tell me about it...) but when he's not being too, uh, "foul," the guy's a real riot.
Great quotes:
from the Richard Hell review page - "As such, buy it only if you already have the first one and you're desperately hungry for more Hell."
from the Helmet reviews - "Get your eyes out of your ass, asseye!"
from Jimi Hendrix - "So far this review is totally kicking ass." (look for something like that in the next Ebert review)
I'm just rambling on, though, time for you guys to weigh in. Any other fans? Hopefully some new converts too?

Instead, I'll just quote the end of his Beach Boys - Concert review:
"And finally Point A: Every member gets a vocal solo! Dennis does 'The Wanderer'! Brian does 'In My Room'! Al doesn't do one and neither does Carl!
I admit that last argument wasn't as strong as the others."
Damo Suzuki: So, um, yeah. Getting older isn't as bad as it sounds. Better than being young & poor (DjDrake) or young & slutty (SG) or young, poor and slutty (Paves); am I right?

Which reminds me of a hilarious joke I made up earlier today. This dumbass piece of shit woman at the dog run has two dogs that she named (I'm gonna gag just writing this) "Music" and "Major." And she just keeps calling them - "Music!" "Major!" So as we were leaving, my lovely wife said to me, "That's so pathetic. You know she just did that so people would walk up to her and say, "Oh! Were you a music major?" To which I hilariously replied, "I know! I'm gonna buy two dogs and name them '12 Inches' and `When Flaccid'!" H ahhww! DH!!! AHHH! EH!!!!
Prindle's biggest impact on me was awareness of the Thinking Fellers Union Local #282.

You know what's a great Frank Zappa song? "What's The Ugliest Part Of Your Body?" I couldn't believe it when the answer turned out to be "Your Mind!" I was TOTALLY rooting for "Inside Your Poopy Smelly Hairy Ass!"
Luckily, Elton John later released a love ballad with that title.

The review that got me into reading him:
Ultramega OK - SST 1988.
Rating = 7/10
Hey, it's a post-hardcore Led Zeppelin! Cock rox galore, cock rox galore, a hundred thousand cock rox knockin' at my door. Some funky tutelage, lots of bluesmerizin' wailin' and scraggledy-daggledy hard rock guitar tones and riffs that at times sound completely stolen from Mr. Jimmy Page (former lead guitarist of The Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin, The Firm, Coverdale/Page and Page/Plant, as well as Grammy-award winning composer of the legendary Death Wish II soundtrack) even though they weren't. I know early Sub Pop scene hipsters would be loathe to admit it, but if you placed this album side by side with the top hits of the day by Whitesnake, White Lion, White Tiger, Great White, White Leppard, White Come, Whiteinger, Whitearrant and the Bullet Whites, there's only one single solitary difference. That one single solitary difference is that this one had indie label production, no ballads, a couple of hardcore-speed songs, no marketing dollars behind it and several really good straightforward hard rock riffs. But aside from that sole single solitary difference, the Zep metal and Plant wailin' on Ultramega OK make it clear that this band belonged on a major label, not this SST college faux-baux-haux bullshit. And I don't care what the critics say -- there was NOTHING "ironic" about Soundgarden at any point in their career. As far as I can tell, in fact, they had no sense of humor about themselves or anything else at all. They were a heavy rock band - PERIOD.
And by "PERIOD," I am indeed implying that Chris Cornell looks and smells like a bloody vagina.
Which reminds me - I have a great new idea. From now on I'm going to collect all my human waste in little baggies and sell them on ebay as "Madonna's poop" for hundreds and thousands of dollars apiece. Do you like it? Will you endorse me on your television program?

Research Interests
I have two broad research areas. I am interested in disciplinary-based education research
examining instructional effectiveness in post-secondary science learning environments.
Instructional effectiveness is a dual function of both the instructor and the student
and can be especially challenging for both parties when class sizes are large. From
the perspective of the student, I am currently looking at changes in student motivation
within intentionally-constructed collaborative groups and how it can be harnessed
to assist students in achieving critical learning objectives. From the perspective
of the instructor I am particularly interested in how and why science faculty (including
graduate students) choose to adopt (or discontinue) use of research-based instructional
strategies in the sciences.
My secondary interest are examining effective means of teaching emergent technologies
(such as biotechnology and nanotechnology). Emergent technologies are being integrated
into school curricula at all levels and present some novel challenges to teaching
and learning. Most of my work focuses on how to effectively communicate some of the
more difficult socio-scientific issues related to these technologies. I have also
examined some of the conceptual hurdles to learning about specific technologies at
small scales (scale issues, estimation, spatial-visualization, etc.).
Publication Record
I have published in work in several science education journals including International
Journal of Science Education, Research in Science Education, School Science and Mathematics,
American Biology Teacher, Advances in Physiology Education, and Journal of Nano Education
among others. I have also presented papers at National Association of Research in
Science Teaching, Association of Biology Teachers, and Society of College Science
Teachers as well as others.

"In the last two to three years, the Netanyahu government has placed a lot of pressure on the attorney general and on [state] lawyers," said Michael Sfard, the human rights lawyer who represents Palestinian landowners and Israeli nongovernmental organization in most outpost-related cases.
In Sfard's view, "the role of the minister of justice is to be a shield from such pressures," and Neeman didn't live up to this, but he is upbeat about his successor. "I hope that Livni will be more of a shield to such pressures; it seems she's more respectful of the attorneys in her office."
Beyond the peace process and outposts, Livni's legal philosophy remains unclear. A wide spectrum on the left criticized Neeman for his moves to strengthen parliament at the expense of the courts. For example, he initiated a push for a new Basic Law — the closest thing Israel has to articles of a constitution — that would have allowed 65 of the Knesset's 120 lawmakers to revive any law that the Supreme Court throws out as illegal.
Yoram Shachar, a law professor at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, said that he expects Livni to be preoccupied mostly with efforts on the peace process and to invest little energy in the Justice Ministry — and no energy in changing the balance of power between legislature and the courts. On the other hand, he added: "Would she further weaken the courts? The answer is an absolute no."

EUGENE, Ore. — The Eugene Police Department is responding to criticism about a new fleet of patrol cars.
Some are angry the department would opt for an SUV that get
s a little more than 11 miles to the gallon, especially at a time gas prices are so high. But it's not that simple.
The SUV that they use are not a normal SUV. It's got a lap top, an in-car video system, radar and a printer. And to power all of those devices the energy has to come from somewhere.>
After EPD unveiled its new patrol SUVs, there was concern about what was under the hood.
Some people were upset with the vehicles' gas mileages and claims the new fleet would actually save the department money down the road.
One viewer posted on Twitter, "So let's spend just under $749,000 to save two miles per gallon." But the city says you can't compare an average car to a patrol car.
"They carry so much materials and equipment, which adds weight to the vehicle, as well as the electronics that are in the car force the operations to keep the vehicle idling more so than perhaps what an average commuter would," said Tony Jobanek, City of Eugene Fleet Manager.
Jobanek says the current patrol cars: Crown Victorias get about eight miles per gallon, but if they were an average car, driven average ways with an average load and not all the equipment, they'd probably get twice the mileage.
"It's not uncommon across the country though. In fact, it's very common in police duty vehicles to have lower than the general consumer miles per gallon rating," Jobanek said.
"What we have in the new cars is an in-car video system which consists of a monitor that hangs from the roof of the vehicle, and then control system that's lower. We also have a mobile dispatch computer which has a screen and keyboard for report writing," said Sgt. Angie San Miguel.
And the list goes on and on. That's why the city says the suv's are the most economical because they can actually fit all the equipment. And he says sit idling a lot of hours because if shut off, all that equipment drains the battery.
"We've installed a system called the idle right, which allows the officer to time out, and then the system detects when the battery is getting drained enough that the equipment will shut off, and then the system restarts the car on its own and it will idle until everything is charged back up," San Miguel said.
As for where the money is coming from to pay for them, he says no extra funds are involved.
"It's already budgeted for and planned for and we have a forecast of replacement that goes out ten years," Jobanek said.
You can expect to see the new fleet on the road in November.
