EGM Review:

Posted on September 27, 2011 AT 02:11pm
When you build your game around a novel core mechanic, you'd better make damn sure it's easy to grasp, simple to learn, and fun to keep using. Bionic Commando's famous grappling arm is probably the most famous example—even though the game's lack of a jump button forced players to rethink the way they navigated the traditional side-scrolling platformer back on the NES, it felt intuitive enough that swinging through levels eventually became second nature.

As a Southerner and a cook, I often find myself included in lively debates about regional cuisine, long-winded discussions of the dozens of types of barbecue preparations, cornbread recipe swaps, or conversations on the perfect biscuit dough. Those of us who love food treasure the dishes we were raised eating and love to swap recipes and tips.
In my travels, I have done my fair share of boasting about my hometown's specialties. One dish that I speak of frequently, that is such a big component of The Shoals' local food culture, is chicken stew. And almost every time I mention it (outside of my home region), no one else in the room seems to know quite what I'm describing.
"Is it like a vegetable soup?" Not exactly. "A Brunswick stew?" Hmm. Not really.
So, I gradually came to understand that this dish—that was as ubiquitous to every neighborhood kitchen as cornbread or tea—wasn't a staple meal for the rest of the world. In fact, it really doesn't exist much outside of our small region of the Tennessee Valley.
Truthfully, the origins of chicken stew cannot be traced. And, no one can explain exactly why it is so specific to this region. I remember being told by an aunt that, once upon a time, chickens were kept for the eggs they produced. By the time a family killed a chicken for its meat, it was a "tough old bird," only suitable for stews and other slow-cooked dishes. As with many rural households, you made the most of what you had and, logically, a stew fed more mouths than one fried chicken. Most likely, as with most regional foods, the recipe was created when poverty crossed paths with farmers, native people, and West African-style dishes. The result, in this case, is a dish that's similar to existing recipes but that remains explicitly exclusive to one place.

First of all, it seems like crutchfield is the store of choice on TW. Sounds like they have great service and can provide everything needed for an install.
With that said, I'm looking into getting the Pioneer AVH-P3400BH double din which crutchfield has listed at $399, amazon has it for $289. I know that crutchfield includes the wiring harnesses (at least I think they do) but I can get them from metra with the full dash kit at $45 for everything on eBay. I'll have to buy the steering wheel controls adapter as well either way.
What is the big advantage with going through crutchfield here? Saving 25% at amazon is big incentive.

David Bowie's Awesome 'The Next Day' Video Upsets Easily Offended Catholic League
"Switch-hitting, bisexual, senior citizen from London"
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." That's from the book of Matthew, chapter seven, verse fifteen, in the King James Version of the Christian Bible. It's a line familiar even to the secular, Talmudic-style interpreters over at lyric site RapGenius, who correctly noted a connection in the lyrics of David Bowie's title song from new album The Next Day. Not familiar, on the evidence, is Bill Donohue, head of nonprofit advocacy group the Catholic League, who is outraged — outraged, we tell you! — by Bowie's new "The Next Day" video, which visualizes the song's blasphemous lyrical themes.
Just in time for SPIN's Bigger Than Jesus: 25 Rock Deities, Rap Messiahs, and Would-Be Golden Gods, Donohue has used his organization's tax-exempt status to assail Bowie with flamboyant — one might almost say "campy" — levels of antediluvian bigotry. As Rolling Stone points out, Donohue blasts Bowie on the Catholic League's website, ridiculously and redundantly dubbing the Thin White Duke a "switch-hitting, bisexual, senior citizen from London." The horror!
But that's not all, God. Donohue is an arts critic: "In short, the video reflects the artist — it is a mess," he writes. Donohue is also a man of Christian generosity: "There is hope for him yet," he concludes sarcastically of Bowie, after noting that while the singer has expressed leanings toward atheism, "it's a sure bet he can't stop thinking about the Cadillac of all religions, namely Roman Catholicism." As they say in the South, bless Donohue's heart.
Again: We're not quite sure what the video, directed by Floria Sigismondi and starring Gary Oldman and Marion Cotillard, is about, and it's not quite as entertaining as Donohue's latest epistle, but we know it's strange and compelling. And of course there's nothing wrong with defending one's beliefs and church against perceived attacks. But why is Donohue surprised that a video for a song about people who "can work with Satan while they dress like the saints" would show people behaving devilishly while dressed in religious garments? (Could it be because he misquotes the lyric as "while they dress with the saints"? Could that perhaps be a Freudian slip?)
And what difference does it make whether Bowie bats left-handed or right-handed? We didn't even know he played baseball! Oh, Donohue is cleverly mocking Bowie for a choice in sexual partners that may include both men and women? We get it! It's funny because, well, it's not funny. It's just ugly and small.
The last time Donohue was heard from round these parts, it was when Nicki Minaj used exorcism imagery at the 2012 Grammy Awards. We wrote that we hoped her music "makes Bill Donohue's head spin while spewing green vomit." It took more than a year, but now Donohue has puked up some Bowie bile. If only his organization had serious problems to worry about. For some reason Donohue's report asking people to take the Catholic child sex abuse scandal "in social context" has been pulled from the Catholic League's website. Bowie continues to pick the right, ravening enemies.
Which brings us to another oft-forgotten Jesus greatest hit: Judge not lest ye be judged. Not sure what kind of music Donohue listens to, but it's a sure bet he can't stop thinking about the Cadillac of all pop stars, namely David Bowie. There is hope for him yet.

One of my new website has BL's in MSN (using "link:http://www.domainname.com" command)
But for the same website it says "Site not found" when I try "site:http://www.domainname.com"
How can "link:" command work and "site:" command can not work for the same domain?
Have any one noticed something strange like this before with MSN?
(Check out some of the allinanchor commands btw)
It is, of course, very possible that you have no pages in the index, but many pages seen as linking to your site. If your site is not indexable, or dropped, then it doesn't mean MSN can't see the links to it.
hmm...this point never struck my mind!
I think I should go back check my pages again. The pages were crawled two weeks ago but for some reason it is not indexed.

I'd better qualify that by pointing out that I only use dbus as a build-time dependency, i.e. dbus runs but I don't rely on it to do anything useful. If I only had one machine, and 2 or 3 different usage scenarios, I would perhaps put them in different runlevels, e.g. using 2 or 4 differently (e.g. "today I want to run a database server, so runlevel 4". Equally, I would put not-generally-used programs in somewhere below /opt so that they aren't normally available. ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, "OMG poneys!"

96 points Wine Spectator: "Terrific example of the vintage--this is loaded with the pepper, garrigue, grilled herb and briary tannins, all backed by powerful layers of dark currant, plum and blackberry fruit. Lingering hint of dried orange peel adds further dimension."

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
in order to work on a manual for a program running on apple. i am looking for any font that has the propeller (instead of apple) sign in it.
i just cannot find it anywhere.
thank you for quick help!
The Apple sign () and the special interest sign (⌘) are different glyphs in a font. You will find them in almost any system font on Mac OS X.
It's also in the lowercase z position in Wingdings...
In Unicode, it's called PLACE OF INTEREST SIGN (U+2318). If you're using a Mac, you can find it in loads of fonts including Lucida Grande; if you're using Windows, you can find it in Arial Unicode.
On a Mac, you can insert it using the character palette (under Technical Symbols). I don't know how you'd insert it on Windows.

The basal ganglia form a part of the brain neuroanatomic circuits that may be involved in mood regulation. Decreases in basal ganglia volumes have been previously reported in major depressive disorder patients in comparison to healthy controls. In this study, we measured caudate, putamen, and globus pallidus volumes in 25 patients with major depressive disorder (4 M; age+/-S.D.=41+/-11 years) and 48 healthy controls (29 M; age+/-S.D.=35+/-10 years), using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in an attempt to replicate prior findings. Unlike most previous studies, we did not find significant differences between patient and control groups in basal ganglia volumetric measures. Nonetheless, there was a significant interaction between diagnosis and cerebral hemisphere, with MDD patients showing decreased asymmetry in globus pallidus volumes in comparison with healthy controls. Furthermore, in the patient group, left putamen volumes correlated inversely with length of illness, and left globus pallidus volume correlated directly with number of prior depressive episodes. These findings suggest that abnormalities in lateralization and possibly neurodegenerative changes in basal ganglia structures participate in the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder.

If this is your first time playing Silent Hill 2 or 3, you will instantly notice how outdated the combat system is, even for a PS2 game. The melee is slow and clunky, and the firearms auto lock on the monster's torso.
To attack an enemy, you'll need to hold the Fighting Stance button and press the Investigate button. You'll swing whatever melee weapon you have, or you'll fire whatever fire arm you may hold. You can also block by holding the Fighting Stance button and pressing the Run button.
Attack each monster until they hit the floor, but don't let up just yet. Just because a monster hits the floor, it does not mean it's dead. Walk over to the fallen body and kick it with the investigate button until the radio is free from static.
If you don't finish off a monster while it's on the ground, it will get back up and keep fighting. Attack it again until it drops and it may not need to be finished off.
Fight or Flight
Just remember, Silent Hill is supposed to be a Survival Horror, not an action game. Just because there are monsters around the area, does not mean you have to chase them down and kill them. Don't be afraid to run away from battle, especially if you're weak.

Woolwich Ferry to close all weekend
Works on the terminals for the Woolwich Ferry means the crossing will be shut for the next two weekends.
The renovation involves replacing piles, which hold up the north and south piers and were originally put in place in the mid-'60s.
A further closure will take place over the first two Saturdays and Sundays of March.
Transport for London is advising people to use the Blackwall and Rotherhithe tunnels, as well as Tower Bridge, for vehicles during the closures.
Pedestrians can use the recently refurbished Woolwich Foot Tunnel, which is situated next to the ferry terminals.

Okay I'm kinda new to this but I have a Razr Maxx running the latest ICS OS. I just now noticed that when I record a vvideo either on my front facing camera or back camera (vertically) that the rotations are different when I view the videos meaning that they don't play vertically. Is it just me, or are they all like that now?
The video will be recorded in landscape mode no matter what way you hold the camera, there was another user that was having difficulty with this and I think someone found him an APP to fix it. Let me see if I can find the link. Also welcome to the forum!! Edit: Here is the link, one user said it worked for them while the other did not get the same results. So YMMV https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5tb2JseW54LmNhbWVyYWljcyJd
Thank you. I'll give it a shot. I hate that it does that though. It didn't do that before the update,
Video playback landscape I have this infuriating problem too. No matter what mode I record in, it plays landscape( and sideways too [ooh bonus] if I recorded in portrait). I have a Razr running ICS and my wife has a Razr running Gingerbread. I thought I would test it before I upgraded hers. Other than the ability to take screenshots, I can't see any good reason to upgrade hers. Her phone, and my ipod touch (just to show what a basic function this is) both playback in the mode they were captured in. I'm considering starting over and wiping the phone then going back to Gingerbread. I've tried all the settings adjustments I can think of and have even tried to duplicate the settings on my wife's Still Gingerbreading phone, but nothing has worked. I hate having to record everything in landscape. I'll be glad to hear reasonable suggestions.

'Invisible Man' is banned from libraries in a North Carolina school district
(Read article summary)The Randolph County Board of Education recently voted to ban Ralph Ellison's 1952 novel from libraries.
Ahead of this year's Banned Book Week, which begins Sept. 22, the Randolph County school board in North Carolina voted to ban the novel "Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison from school libraries.
The novel came to the attention of the board after the parent of a female eleventh-grader at Randleman High School wrote a critique that spanned 12 pages. According to the Courier-Tribune of Asheboro, N.C., the parent, Kimiyutta Parson, objected to language in the text and sexual content. Parson wrote in her complaint, "The narrator writes in the first person, emphasizing his individual experiences and his feelings about the events portrayed in his life. This novel is not so innocent; instead, this book is filthier, too much for teenagers. You must respect all religions and point of views when it comes to the parents and what they feel is age appropriate for their young children to read, without their knowledge. This book is freely in your library for them to read."
The school board then voted five to two to ban the book from libraries within the school system. Each member was given a copy of the novel to peruse and at the beginning of the meeting, board chair Tommy McDonald inquired if everyone had read it.

Just one day left in the Blitzkrieg challenge, get your submissions done fast! We already have interesting ones, but more is always good.
In other news i've been getting constant requests about advertising commissions and sales of members of our club. After some thinking, we will try an experiment rather soon, with opening up a new folder for trades. You can post your minis that are up for sale or trade there, and when the trade/sale is done, you simply remove the deviation. What do you think of this suggestion? Comments plz.
As for commissions, sorry, that still remains a firm no. You guys earn money from doing that, and no advertisement of such work should be free. If you can't even find time to reply to suggestions of providing points to keep the group a supergroup, we won't find time to post your advertisement. That is all.
Now get those Blitzkrieg contest entries done! This is signing off.

The idea that a 50/50 split of tasks is actually inequal might seem a stretch to some. But it's true that some tasks (such as child care) require more effort and emotion than others (washing dishes, for example). But we don't often think about these things, especially when divvying up tasks. It's easy to make a chart that ensures that everyone is doing the same number of chores. But less simple is quantifying the stress those tasks bring.

Giuseppe Rossi reinjures knee
Updated: April 13, 2012, 11:55 AM ET
Associated Press
VILLARREAL, Spain -- Villarreal says forward Giuseppe Rossi has re-injured his right knee and will be sidelined for six more months, ending his hopes of playing for Italy at this year's European Championship.
Rossi tore his anterior cruciate ligament during a game against Real Madrid on Oct. 26 and had surgery. Villarrreal said Rossi tore the ligament again during a training session Friday and needs another operation. He will miss the start of next season.
The 25-year-old New Jersey native scored 32 goals in all competitions for Villarreal last season. The son of Italian parents, he decided to play for the Azzurri instead of the U.S. national team and has six goals in 27 international appearances.

McLaren executives were questioned by Italian investigators in Britain on Wednesday as part an ongoing legal enquiry into last years spy scandal affair. Accompanied by British police, the officials visited both the executives homes and McLarens Woking factory.
McLaren were fined $100 million and stripped of their 2007 constructors points after they were deemed to have benefitted from the possession of confidential Ferrari data. Formula One racings governing body, the FIA, has since drawn a line under the matter, but legal proceedings started by Italian magistrates are continuing.
McLaren Racing has today continued its co-operation with enquiries instigated by the Modena Magistrate, said the team in a statement.
The Surrey Police accompanied Italian investigators to the homes of a number of McLaren executives as part of their ongoing investigation. A similar process has been performed at the McLaren Technology Centre.
The police are completely satisfied with the co-operation they have received. These actions are part of a normal judicial process in connection with the ongoing investigation, and are supported by McLaren Racing.
The Modena magistrate, Giuseppe Tibis, has already questioned McLaren test driver Pedro de la Rosa and former team mate Fernando Alonso over the affair.

Mount Aso (Aso-san) is an active volcano in the center of Kyushu. Its ancient caldera ranks among the world's largest, with a diameter of up to 25 kilometers and a circumference of over 100 kilometers.
The huge caldera contains the town of Aso and several volcanic peaks, including Nakadake, whose spectacular, active crater is easily accessible to tourists by toll road or ropeway. Note that the crater area is often partially and sometimes completely closed off to visitors due to poisonous volcanic gases. Gases can be intense even when the area is open, and people with respiratory problems should refrain from seeing the crater. Payment Accepted:
Getting there:
The Nakadake Crater can be reached in a 30-40 minute bus ride from JR Aso Station. There is one bus about every 1-2 hours. The one way trip costs 540 yen, and is not covered by the Japan Rail Pass.
Buses go only as far as Asosan Nishi Station, from where it is a short ropeway ride (820 yen round trip) to the crater. Alternatively you can walk to the crater in about 30 minutes. Cars can drive all the way to a parking lot just next to the crater, but must pay 560 yen for the last kilometers, which is a toll road.

Nov 5, 2009 It was the place what I was interested in the most in my trip,but the weather detroyed my plan. I couldn't see anything about the mountains. We decided we climb it despite the fog and rain to feel/know we are on an active volcano, but finally it impossible. The pics show a wonderful place so I have to go back! Related Links

The Next Monument: The Roots Set to Unveil Philadelphia Mural
Painting to go up near high school where the band met
The Roots will be on hand for the unveiling of a new mural painted in their honor in their hometown of Philadelphia. The dedication ceremony is set to take place May 31 at 11:30 a.m. at the World Communications Charter School. The City of Brotherly Love is known for its myriad colorful public paintings, many of which exist thanks to the Mural Arts Program, a graffiti abatement initiative that started all the way back in 1986. MAP is also responsible for this tribute to these "hometown hip hop trailblazers."
The new mural is located near the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA), where Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson and Tariq "Black Thought" Trotter started the group as classmates. "To have it along South Street, near the same corners we were kicked off of for playing our music, is fantastic," said Questo in an early press release. Boyz II Men aficionados will note that's the very same South Street that those earlier CAPA grads were often known to be coolin' on.
MAP initially issued a national open call for artists for the project but wound up working with a local collective, Amber Art and Design. "The first meeting with the artists was amazing," Thompson said in 2012. "We shared ideas of what the final mural could end up looking like. It's beyond anything Tariq and I ever dreamed of." As seen above, the design includes cassette bootlegs of early albums like Do You Want More?!!!??! and Illadelph Halflife, plus ?uestlove's iconic hair pick.
Check out the Roots discussing the project in February of last year. Your move, Kurt Vile.

Pro Furling System CC 37
I am having a Pro Furl system put on to replace the old system that had hank on sails and roller furling only. The head stay rotated when you furled the sail and rolled the sail on the stay. Good for furling but not for reefing!The new system drum is a little higher than the bow pulpit and I think that is a little too high. Does any one know how high above the deck a furler should be and still not chafe the sail on the bow pulpit or life lines? The old system was on the deck and the sails were always rubbing both.I need to know ASAP in order to keep them from cutting the sail too short.Will have to add longer top alumimun extrusion to lower drum. Thanks Pilgram

UK aerospace and automotive engineering group Hampson Industries is to acquire California-based Coast Composites, a manufacturer of tooling systems for composite structures, in a bid to benefit from the trend towards composite airframes.
In addition to acquiring Coast for $56 million, Hampson is to pay $25.2 million for California-based Lamsco West, a leading supplier of laminated shims and sheet materials to the aerospace industry. Both deals are expected to close in December.
The acquisitions bring the group access to "high-growth" programmes such as the Boeing 787, Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, Lockheed/Boeing F/A-22 Raptor and several next-generation unmanned air vehicles. They will "transform Hampson's strategic presence in aerospace, notably in laminates and high- growth composites, which are increasingly replacing metals in current and next-generation aircraft manufacture", says Kim Ward, Hampson chief executive.
Hampson has announced a share placement that is expected to raise £32.5 million ($56.5 million) to help fund the acquisitions.
Established in metal components and structures, Hampson began moving into composites with its $41 million acquisition in December last year of US transparencies and plastics specialist Texstars.
The Lamsco acquisition will make the company the dominant supplier of laminated shims for aerospace applications.

Landstar Named 2013 Best Overall Fleet For Owner-operators
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- (NASDAQ-LSTR) Landstar System, Inc., a non-asset based provider of integrated supply chain solutions delivering safe, specialized transportation and logistics services, today announced that it has been named the 2013 Best Overall Fleet for Owner-Operators, according to the owner-operators who participated in the fifth annual survey conducted by the Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) and CarriersEdge.
"We're proud that the freedom, opportunities and support services that we offer our business capacity owners (BCOs) is serving them in such a way that they feel Landstar is the best fleet for owner-operators," said Landstar Chairman, President and CEO Henry Gerkens. "We feel that Landstar's unique business model affords owner-operators the best chance at success, and that our requirements to become a Landstar BCO make our fleet the best of the best."
The nomination process began last year, when owner-operators and company drivers were asked to nominate carriers operating 10 or more trucks.
"The freight pays excellent. The staff is always there when you need them, with answers or support," wrote one BCO in his survey. "I've never had a company set me up for success like Landstar."
Another BCO wrote, "Had I known 10 years ago how and what Landstar had to offer, I would have leased on then. This has been the best move I've made. Thank you Landstar." "I want to personally thank not only those who voted to make us number one in the Best Fleets survey, but also the BCOs who have always made Landstar the very best it can be, through consistent excellence in safety and service," said Gerkens. Mark Murrell, president of CarriersEdge, was impressed by the statements from Landstar BCOs. "What is really remarkable about Landstar is the level of engagement from their contractors, and the overall satisfaction level within the company. Landstar has clearly found a model that works and the results came through loud and clear," said Murrell. After months of nominations, interviews and scoring by CarriersEdge and the TCA, the top companies in two categories were revealed during an awards ceremony at the TCA Annual Convention, March 5, 2013, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Landstar earned Best Overall Fleet for Owner-Operators, while Grand Island Express was named Best Overall Fleet for Company Drivers. Nominees were evaluated in a variety of categories including professional development opportunities, commitment to continuous improvement (including dispute resolution processes and inclusion of driver feedback in policymaking), annual turnover rate and fleet safety record. A selection of each fleet's drivers or owner-operators was also surveyed, with its feedback compared to management's and incorporated into the final score.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Festive fun on park run
Published at 16:39, Monday, 31 December 2012
A WEEKLY fun run had a bit more fun than usual when entrants decked themselves out in festive attire.
By Ross Tyson
More than 50 runners turned out when the Barrow Parkrun held its penultimate event of the year on the Saturday before Christmas.
Entrants – who ranged from serious athletes to casual joggers – were encouraged to wear fancy dress.
The 5km course was won by Callum Baynes, whose Rudolph outfit did nothing to slow him down, finishing in a brisk time of 19m 17s.
Parkrun's publicity officer, Fiona Wilson, said she was delighted with the turnout given the foul weather.
"We have it every Saturday morning and because it's Christmas we just thought it would be fun to have people dressed up," she said.
The race was not without drama, however, with 72-year-old runner Neil Stirling taking a tumble in the slippery conditions.
But fortunately event director and doctor Andy Young was on-hand and Mr Stirling was treated and able to complete the course.
The Parkrun is held every Saturday at Barrow Park from 9am.
Entry is free each week and the event is open to runners of all standards.

Thursday, August 06
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum
Attendance: None
Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Tommy Hunter threw seven solid innings and Michael Young went 2-for-5 with a homer and two runs batted in, as the Texas Rangers topped the Oakland Athletics, 6-4, to avoid a sweep.
The Rangers had dropped the first three contests of this four-game set, but took the win in the finale after Hunter (4-2) limited the A's to three runs -- two earned -- on three hits and two walks with four strikeouts.
Hank Blalock also homered for Texas, while David Murphy and Andruw Jones each had two hits, an RBI and scored a run.
Trevor Cahill (6-11) made the start for Oakland and allowed five runs in six- plus innings, during which he gave up eight hits, walked two and struck out six.
"I felt like I was throwing more strikes than I normally do," Cahill said. "You're just trying to make pitches. Everything else you just have to block out and try and get the next guy."
Nomar Garciaparra, Rajai Davis and Scott Hairston each had a hit and batted in a run in defeat.
Oakland jumped in front in the first inning, when Jack Cust worked a two-out walk and scored on Garciaparra's double. Garciaparra went to third on the throw, then came home on Jarrod Saltalamacchia's errant pickoff throw.
However, Texas got a run back in the second, on Blalock's 21st homer of the season. Young's two-out solo shot to center in the third inning tied the game, and the Rangers edged in front in the fifth on Young's run-scoring single.
"Every time after the first inning it seems like we came back in the dugout, Hank hit that homer, it seems like we had all the momentum on our side," Young said. "Tommy just did the rest from there. It was a big performance, we needed it."
Jones led off the sixth with a double, went to third on Josh Hamilton's single and scored on Marlon Byrd's sacrifice fly, making it a 4-2 game.
The A's got the run back in the home half on Davis' RBI double, but Texas expanded the lead once more in the seventh.
Esteban German began the frame with a walk, which ended Cahill's outing. Russ Springer came in from the bullpen and got Young on a fly out, but Murphy smacked a double to center to plate German. Murphy then came around on Jones' single to left, though Jones was thrown out trying to stretch the hit into a double.
After Hunter held Oakland off the scoreboard in the bottom half, Frank Francisco tossed a scoreless eighth.
C.J. Wilson took over for the ninth and struck out the first two batters, but got in trouble after that. Tommy Everidge singled, then scored on Hairston's pinch-hit double.
Wilson walked pinch-hitter Kurt Suzuki before Mark Ellis flied out to end the game, giving the pitcher his 14th save.

You may recall that a little while ago I wrote about the roll out of the 3 minute promise in France – a promise to our Avis Preferred members that they will be able to collect their hire car keys at the counter and go in less than 3 minutes. Well I am delighted to announce that this promise has now been rolled out to 400 locations across Europe including Paris Charles de Gaulle, Madrid and Zurich airports. It is also available at Heathrow, Birmingham, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports in the UK and will be coming to Gatwick, Stansted, Bristol and Manchester airports by the end of March.
Now reading some of the comments when we wrote about this last time, there was some concern that this would mean losing any kind of human contact. This initiative does not involve any kind of automated self-service kiosks that would replace our rental agents. It is simply a service guarantee that we make to all of our Avis Preferred members that they will be served within this timeframe. Each Avis Preferred member is given the opportunity to take a stopwatch so they can personally time how long it takes to be served. If we fail to fulfil our promise then we will provide a £20 John Lewis voucher as compensation (this is for UK rentals – the kind of vouchers will differ in other countries).
If you are not an Avis Preferred member and are interested in taking advantage of this service then you can sign up on our website.
