SHARLA YNOSTROSA: Adoptee's heart breaks over Roe v. Wade anniversary
I was adopted at birth. My dad was a science teacher in Sudan, in the Texas Panhandle, and my mom was a homemaker. They had one child, my brother, Mike. My mom had a very difficult pregnancy and the doctor advised her not to have more children.
When my brother was 7, my mom's brother and his wife adopted a baby girl. My sweet cousin was born Jan. 13, 1963. After her adoption, my parents decided to apply for adoption also. I was born Dec. 30, 1963, in Fort Worth.
My parents were in Stephenville visiting my grandparents and the rest of the family when they received the call the next day, New Year's Eve, that there was a baby for them.
My dad told me years later about how they got the money for the adoption fees. Dad said he called a banker in Sudan on Dec. 31, 1963, to request a loan, and that he needed the money immediately.
The banker asked if he had any collateral and Dad said, "Just my name." The banker asked Dad why he needed the money and Dad told him they were trying to adopt a baby girl and they needed to pick me up on Jan. 2. The banker said, "Well, go and get her. We'll figure it out when you get home."
I also have an old, yellowed newspaper clipping from the Sudan newspaper. Under the headline, "Shower Given in Honor of Sharla Nelson," the story begins, "Little Miss Sharla Kay Nelson, recently adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Nelson, was honoree at a shower on Saturday afternoon at the home of "
I wish I could adequately put into words how thankful I am for my life. I have been so blessed. I have a wonderful husband, Jim — we've been married for more than 30 years. When we got married I was also blessed with a 6-year-old stepson, whom I love as my own. My husband and I were then blessed with two more children, a son and a daughter. We have eight grandchildren, six girls and two boys.
God is so good, our lives are so full.
When I think of the dreadful anniversary of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision this month, my heart breaks over the lost lives. I think of the people who could have been blessed with the children they so badly wanted.
Every time I see a commercial on television about the adoption of animals, I want to scream, "What about the babies! Will no one speak up for them?" I want to scream from the rooftops that abortion is an ugly lie, and people have got to stop being so selfish. There is another choice, and it is a life choice.
My birth certificate is special. There is a dash in place of the hospital name, for confidentiality. I just noticed it a couple of years ago. I called my aunt — my dad's sister — who also was adopted, and I asked her about her birth certificate. She is almost 20 years older than me.
She called me back and said, "We were born at the same hospital — mine has a dash too!"
The precious cousin I mentioned earlier died of cancer three years ago. I drove to Temple and stayed with her at the hospital the weekend before she died. She told the nurses we were like sisters, only 11 months apart, both adopted, both so blessed.
I never got to ask about her birth certificate, but I know she was born at that same special hospital as my aunt and I. I wonder if my cousin, my aunt or I would have been here if we had been conceived after Roe v. Wade. I like to think so.
Recently I was at Sacred Heart Cathedral helping with the sack lunch ministry when a man came in with two small children, a boy and a girl.
I smiled at them and said, "I have a sticker for you," and they both grinned. I put a little angel sticker on the back of their hand, and I said, "This is your guardian angel sticker." The little boy noticed there were stickers on the sacks too, and he looked back and smiled at me.
Children are gifts from God. When did we get so off track? How did our country become so selfish that someone would design special pink tennis shoes for Wendy Davis so she could filibuster against life in the Texas Senate?
Please, God, help us bring back the people who will say, "Go and get her. We'll figure it out when you get home."

Amalfi Coast hotels
Some of Italy's most renowned luxury hotels cluster in or near Amalfi, Positano, and Ravello. Though groups such as Virgin and Orient-Express have their own flagship properties on the Costiera Amalfitana, several of the leading hotels are still family-owned and family-run—evidence of the small-scale, personal approach that, luckily, still prevails in this international jet-set destination. One thing you don't come to the Costiera for is value for money, though if you're prepared to risk the weather at the beginning (April–May) and end (October) of the season, there are reductions to be had. And there are one or two budget options that are a cut above the usual drab pensione standard.

Thats the NSS. Mine gives me all sorts of problems, usually just have to roll it threw the gears and it'll fire right up in N. Some people get lucky and can clean the contact points, while others get F'd and it'll break. I need to do this but don't have the ambition.

Alright I bypassed the nss first. No luck. Replaced it second. No luck. There is power going out of the ignition and an hear click of a relay inside on the fuse block. Waiting on someone to come home to varify the one under the hood. I had taken the starter to AutoZone and it passed, also if I jump the terminals on the starter relay it also turns over. I also tried replacing the relay.

Problem solved. Wasnt getting power to relay. Had a broken wire at firewall. Also for the guys that are having problems with yohr nss. To bypass just the neutral start without messing with your trans. Just connect the 2 black wires togather. I did it on the nss side of the grey plug under the hood. Thanks for everyones input.

Hodgson: Duff deal is close
16 Aug 2009 - 10:39:31
Fulham boss Roy Hodgson has revealed that Damien Duff is on the verge of joining from Newcastle United subject to passing a medical.
Duff missed the Magpies' Championship meeting with Reading on Saturday evening to travel down to London for medical tests with the Cottagers after the two clubs agreed a fee in the region of £5million.
Hodgson gave Duff his break when he was manager at Blackburn Rovers in the late 1990s before the Republic of Ireland winger moved on to Chelsea.
"I think he's been allowed to come down and he's having a medical," revealed Hodgson following his side's season-opening 1-0 win at Portsmouth on Saturday.
"If all goes well I'm hoping the details will be finalised both on his personal contract and the details between ourselves and Newcastle.
"I'm hoping that will be finalised at the beginning of next week and, all being well, I'll be able to tell you he's a Fulham player next week.
"Until it's completed, it's better to be prudent, but I'm very hopeful we'll have Damien with us.
"Last year we were extremely fortunate as we had so few injuries. I'm expecting this year to have to be without players occasionally and that's why we need the quality of people like Damien Duff to put into the team."

Editorial: Fewer students mean less state aid for Minnesota schools
With 168 students, the Lancaster (Minn.) School District has about half the enrollment that it did at its peak 30 years ago.
This has caused a steep decline in its state aid, which is based on a per-pupil formula.

If you've ever been towed, you know it's usually not a pleasant experience. Some folks who were recently towed from outside the Long Leaf Mall Gold's Gym have a particularly frustrating story.
Not only were they paying customers, annoyed to be towed while they were working out, but when they went to pick up their cars from the towing company, the women got charged more than the men.
The Long Leaf shopping complex is under construction, because a new Harris Teeter is being built. The parking lot where gym members normally park is gone. To get to the gym, you literally have to drive behind the strip mall, back to the loading zone.
"It's amongst dumpsters, it's very dark, and there was a whole cluster of cars, just parked all in a line, as normally, because there aren't particularly slotted spaces given that are marked out, so I just parked within that area," said Malanie Coefield who got towed.
Coefield came out of her exercise class that night to find her Jeep Liberty was gone. She was one of several people who'd been towed that night alone.
Melanie and a fellow unlucky gym member rode together to earl's wrecker service, to retrieve their cars.
"First of all I was shocked that we were being charged $135. Shocked. Couldn't believe that it would be that much. Then I come to find out because several of us at Gold's have been towed, as many as 30 that we know of, different prices are being charged. And apparently the men are being charged around $100, and the women are being charged more."
Brett Waress was towed from the same lot and said at the time, there weren't clear "No Parking" signs posted.
He took pictures of the make-shift parking lot that night, to show just how confusing it was. It was so dark, it would be hard for anyone to see the few no parking warnings that were painted on the pavement.
"The shadiness of towing people from an unmarked area that doesn't say if you park here you'll be towed, kind of goes hand in hand with the shadiness of having your car taken from you, you have to show up with cash, and then it seems like they just made up a number for me and made up a number for the women that were being towed," Waress said.
The city of Wilmington regulates how much people can be charged if their cars are towed without their permission. The maximum allowed rate is $100, with a few exceptions. If a car has 4-wheel drive, or it's emergency brake on, it has to be put on a dolly, which can cost 35 dollars more.
But Melanie doesn't have 4-wheel drive, and said she didn't use her emergency brake that night. Her receipt doesn't say anything about having to be put on a dolly. In fact, her receipt is identical to Brett's, except for the price they were charged.
WWAY spoke with Earl at Earl's Wrecker Service to find out what's going on. He assured us that his employees would never charge women, or any customers, for services that weren't provided.
Earl thinks the receipts were simply marked improperly, and the women's cars must have had to be dollied.
Regardless, Earl has agreed to refund the $35 up-charge since it's unclear what the women were charged for. He said his employees will be more meticulous with their paperwork from here on out. He also said if a car has to be dollied, his drivers will take pictures so it's clear why the additional charge was necessary.

Compare VersionsPatch management in AIX
updated Feb 9, 2009 8:41 pm | 62,702 views
Revision as of 05:43, 27 July 2007PreambulThis manual is directed to give some ideas and some framework for process of management of patches for AIX. In all the cases, not cover in this manual you should contact your local UNIX guru or search for help from consultant. Information in this article is based of AIX 5L v5.2 and 5.3. For Your version please refer appropriate manuals. Preinstallation checksCheck consistency and TL/MLLet's 1st check if packages are OK # lppchk -v If you get report of something wrong try to get more info about the case and resolve the problem before continue with installation # lppchk -v -m3 Check the current installed ML/TL # instfix -i|grep ML or # instfix -i |grep TL Keep the above information in file (not on the server, please) Check for applicabilityCheck if APAR you want to install is applicable to your system. Check if fileset, mentioned in APAR is installed on your system # lslpp -L <filesetname> If not you can skip the rest of the document and feel happy, because it's need to do nothing on this machine :-) But if fileset is installed check if APAR is installed # insfix -ivk <APAR number> If it's installed be happy and jump to the next server, otherwise check if software is in use. For example you have installed drivers for ATM card, but you have no such card in the server or have installed software for IPsec, but not configured and not in use. In this can case you can (again) be happy and continue with other task. Otherwise continue with steps in this document Check rootvgSee if rootvg is mirrored and all lv's are mirrored correctly (excluding dump and boot volumes). If your rootvg is not mirrored you can skip later in document part for alt_disk_install, but in generally you should thing twice if situation like this is OK for business # lsvg -p rootvg # lsvg rootvg # lsvg -l rootvg Check for clusterCheck if the server is node of the cluster, because some of the operations can disrupt the proper work of cluster software # smit hacmp Check if the cluster processes are active # lssrc -g cluster Check if cluster software is installed # lslpp -l | grep -i cluster Preinstallation tasksCreate a new LV to keep ML/TL, Service pack and APAR's you will download from IBM web site. Be aware this filesystem can need up to 3.6 gigabytes. If you do not have enough free LP you can use any (almost) already existing partition on the server or arrange some disk space on other machine and export it via NFS. After finish the installation do not forget to remove the LV or directory if you do not need the files for other installation. In case of usage of NFS you should be aware process of installation is slower and any network problem can disrupt your installation and put you in situation of recovery system from backup or alternate disk installation. Upload (download) in this directory TL (last one), Service pack (only last one) and APARs for prepare the installation. Extract them in current directory. because they normally come as tar.gz file use this trick to keep some diskpace # gzip -d -c TL...tar.gz|tar xvf - Sound's good to extract and install Service pack separately (in different directory) Backup methodsFor safe yourself from problems after installation, boot problems, etc you have few opportunities. I personaly know 3:
If you can't use any of the above methods you should be prepared for installation from CD/DVD of the entire operating system and recover it to the level to the situation before installation of APAR. Honestly speaking you can use mksysb, saving backup file on NFS mounted directory, but this will be no so helpful for easy and fast restore of the system Backup with alt_disk_installto be filled Backup to tapeto be filled Backup to TSMto be filled Installation of ML/TL, Service pack and APARto be filled Final notesto be filled |

Loved the trip on the Bilibili and Ben's trip around the coral. A lot of great work going on with preserving the marine life.
This option is not publicized very well but it is possible to stay with a family in the village. we stayed for two nights and wish we had longer as we were just starting to feel the rhythm of the village. Several families contribute dishes to the meals which are eaten cross-legged on the floor of the host family traditional... More
just do it - it is wild and uninhabited and very beautiful along the coast of Taveuni after the road ends
An excellent example of a community project done well - the raft is fun and the people warm and proud of the coral they have protected.
We took a taxi (about FJ$75 return from Matei including waiting time) and paid for a 'cultural' tour. If you want to do this make sure you give them at least 24 hours notice as some of the men take time off farming to look after you. The tour included paddling a traditional style raft to the reef, a guided... More
Thanks to an American woman/scientist from California I think and several locals the reefs have been brought back from practical extinction in this area. What a great setting and the villagers were so informative and sang some lovely songs over tea.
I first went on this trip back when they opened. It was good then. It is incredible now. This village goes out of their way to provide guests with a wonderful experience a big vinaka!~
As the corals are mostly destroyed by cyclone Thomas in February 2010, the snorkeling is now much better in Matei and in the south of Taveuni. Actually, snorkeling at Waitabu Marine Park was the worst I experienced in Fiji and definitely not worth the money.
The Marine park offers a great place for visitors to Taveuni to snorkel a community protected coral reef. Waitabu is a community supported and operated Marine Protected Area. The 10+ year effort has set aside a specific "no-fishing area" along the community waterfront on Taveuni Island. Visitors pay a small fee to snorkel the protected coral reefs. The fees are... More
Thouroughly enjoyed my time at Waitabu. We arrived at 9am and spent a couple of hours snorkeling in the marine park at Waitabu with local guides who knew their stuff. We were poled up to the park in a handmade Fijian bamboo raft, a Bilibili. The local guides had a good knowledge of the area and were cool to relax... More

We've compiled these lists of easy things you can do to help the environment:
Adjust Your Refrigerator and Water Heater
Water heating is the second largest energy expense in your home, typically accounting for about 18% of your utility bill. The Department of Energy recommends setting the thermostat on your water heater to 120°F to get comfortable hot water and reduce energy expenditure.
Try composting as a way to use your kitchen and yard waste to benefit your garden. Not sure how to get started? Check out these composting resources at the library.
Reduce Plastic Waste
Plastic Bags:
The library has started recycling newspaper bags. You can do the same by bringing yours to the Bag2Bag recycling bin at Sunset or another participating store. They also accept dry cleaning bags and other plastic bags and some shrink wraps. See the Bag2Bag site for more information on what they recycle.
Interested in volunteering at the library this summer? Need some service hours for NHS? We've got flexible hours, short shifts, interesting projects and we can work around your summer plans!
Sound good?
Well, then make sure you register to attend ONE of our MANDATORY meeting for summer volunteers. We'll go over everything you need to know.
Reduce Paper Waste
Pay your bills online and switch to paperless statements.
Register at www.catalogchoice.org and www.dmachoice.org to stop getting catalogs and junk mail you don't want.
Think before printing. Set your printer default to double-sided and use Print Preview to print only the pages you need. Save files on your computer instead of printing them for your records.
Go Green at the Grocer
Buy in bulk to reduce packaging waste.
Concentrated detergents save on plastics and water.
A carrot typically travels 1,838 miles to reach your table. Shop at your local farmer's market in season, or check for signs in your grocery store indicating locally grown and made foods.
Buying organic produce helps reduce pesticides and groundwater contamination.

Saving Energy:
Between 5% and 20% of your home electric bill comes from vampire electric use--the energy used by appliances when turned off. Unplug small appliances and chargers when not in use.
Check out the Kill-a-Watt meter from the Multimedia Department to see which of your appliances are using the most energy.

Also, it took two hours of charge time to go from 10% to 37% charge last night which seems rather slow. I was plugged into a USB 3.0 slot on my PC. My iPhone 5 would have been at or close to 100%.Hoepfully it gets faster over time.

Outward simplicity befits ordinary men, like a garment made to measure for them; but it serves as an adornment to those who have filled their lives with great deeds: they might be compared to some beauty carelessly dressed and thereby all the more attractive. Jean de La Bruyère

My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way. Ernest Hemingway
- 11+ 4- 1
Simplicity is a pleasant thing in children, or at any age, but it is not necessarily admirable, nor is affectation altogether a thing of evil. To be normal, to be at home in the world, with a prospect of power, usefulness, or success, the person must have that imaginative insight into other minds that underlies tact and savoir-faire, morality and beneficence. This insight involves sophistication, some understanding and sharing of the clandestine impulses of human nature. A simplicity that is merely the lack of this insight indicates a sort of defect. Charles Cooley

- 25+ 4- 2
The price we pay for the complexity of life is too high. When you think of all the effort you have to put in --telephonic, technological and relational --to alter even the slightest bit of behavior in this strange world we call social life, you are left pining for the straightforwardness of primitive peoples and their physical work. Jean Baudrillard

The great things in life are what they seem to be. And for that reason, strange as it may sound to you, often are very difficult to interpret (understand). Great passion are for the great of souls. Great events can only be seen by people who are on a level with them. We think we can have our visions for nothing. We cannot. Even the finest and most self-sacrificing visions have to paid for. Strangely enough, that is what makes them fine. Oscar Wilde

The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity. Walt Whitman

Never do anything standing that you can do sitting, or anything sitting that you can do lying down.

It is far more difficult to be simple than to be complicated; far more difficult to sacrifice skill and easy execution in the proper place, than to expand both indiscriminately. John Ruskin

Every contrivance of man, every tool, every instrument, every utensil, every article designed for use, of each and every kind, evolved from a very simple beginnings. Robert Collier
- 45+ 1- 1
There is repetition everywhere, and nothing is found only once in the world. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Simple ideas lie within the reach only of complex minds. Remy de Gourmont
- 47+ 1- 1
The art of simplicity is a puzzle of complexity. Doug Horton
- 48+ 1- 1
Behind the complicated details of the world stand the simplicities: God is good, the grown-up man or woman knows the answer to every question, there is such a thing as truth, and justice is as measured and faultless as a clock. Our heroes are simple: they are brave, they tell the truth, they are good swordsmen and they are never in the long run really defeated. That is why no later books satisfy us like those which were read to us in childhood --for those promised a world of great simplicity of which we knew the rules, but the later books are complicated and contradictory with experience; they are formed out of our own disappointing memories. Graham Greene
- 49+ 1- 1
I adore simple pleasures. They are the last refuge of the complex. Oscar Wilde
- 50+ 2- 2
Things should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler. Albert Einstein

What's your favorite accessible pumpkin ale that's available in sixers and why? I really like Schlafly's Pumpkin Ale. Not too sweet or over the top. Awesome flavor. I believe it has some butternut squash in there too. It's a really good beer overall. Looking for others that can compete. I've tried a lot and nothing has come close aside from the specialty bottles out West from Elysian and Alaska.
Schlafly's Pumpkin is my favorite as well. I've always heard great things about Southern Tier Pumpking so I'm going to try and get a hold of that this year. I've been looking forward to Schlafy's Pumpkin!
Post Road Pumpkin Ale by Brooklyn Brewery and DFH Punkin are my faves. I would definately like to try S.T. Pumking tho too.
I definitely love Schlafly's version, it's the best. I need to come up with an AG recipe for a pumpkin brew-off and get it brewed soon, any suggestions? The Thunderstruck http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f76/thun...ersions-26699/ looks good. Also, the NB kit looks good as well.
DFH's Punkin' is the only one I've cared for. I don't really like pumpkin at all, be it beer, pie, bread, etc, but that Punkin' is a tasty ale. Granted, I can only drink 1 or 2 a year before I'm sick of it.
Schlafly's wasn't as good in 2011 as it was in previous years. Too sweet! I am, however, looking forward to their Pumpkin stout at HOP in the City this year. Boom diggity. They make it exclusively with butternut squash, for those who want to clone it though. O'Fallon Brewery's was my favorite last year, taking over Schlafly for the first year. Soooo good! My pumpkin ale is already 4 days in the fermenter!
I was thinkin bout starting apumpkin thread after spotting a 2012 Southern Tier pumpkin(forgot the actual name) Oh pumpking- it was all graham cracker taste mainly last year-to me good but a little odd as far as graham cracker pumpkin-a little odd? Shafaly definalty comes to mind, I couldnt even get my hands on it after it being out only a few weeks it sold out,i just heard great things about it. Shipyards smashed pumpkin was my favorate of about a dozen i tried last year,and not counting a good handfull of good ones ive heard were really good though that I had no access. Dont get that mixed up with Shipyards pumpkin head that was at the very bottom of the dozen. There were certainly lots of good standard pumpkin ales though that I enjoyed. O fallons certainly was one of them-good solid pumpkin ale. Cant wait to try all of them I can this season.Hopefully I can try DfH's. ' Im shure there will be some new ones.
DFH Punkin, and this one from Howe Sound Brewing are my favorites:
here in northern colorado DFH punkin' is rare the couple weeks that the stores can keep it stocked. i now have an inside man over at a major liquor store known for micro brew selection... guess what beer is going to be bought out the first day they get it in?! muhahahaha! the poor souls wont know what to do without their delicious punkin' im like the beer grinch stealing seasonal brews!
I like saint Arnold's pumpkinator it is a pumpkin porter from a brewery in Houston but only available in a bomber.

Borderlands is going to the moon, baby! It appears a leak on GamePointsNow has the next game in the cooperative shooter franchise pegged as Borderlands: The Pre-sequel! (exclamation!). So, you know, Gearbox studio head Randy Pitchford wasn't technically lying when he said there was no Borderlands 3 in development.
The game is allegedly scheduled for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, and it takes place in the five years between Borderlands and Borderlands 2. It's in development at 2K Australia and will feature four new playable characters. It's set on the moon above Pandora and the H-shaped space station that orbits the planet.

Corporate crime wave! Do any big banks make money by earning it?
The corporate crime wave continues. Here are a few excerpts from some of the latest news.
Yesterday's CFPB/OCC settlement with Capital One (previous blog) for deceiving credit card customers into purchasing junky ripoff add-ons comes hard on the heels of revelations that other big U.S. banks have been caught or are being investigated for LIBOR bid rigging or mortgage discrimination or aiding money launderers. Danielle Douglas in the Washington Post mentions 3 of these 4 ways to make money without earning it in this story. The fourth, Wells Fargo's recent mortgage discrimination settlement with enforcers, is discussed here in the Corporate Crime Reporter.
And then there's Gretchen Morgenson's New York Times story highlighting how big hedge funds get what may be non-public information before ordinary investors do, which enables them to front-run the markets. And remember, you don't front-run if you actually want to invest in companies on a longterm basis that may actually create jobs or boost the economy, because high-speed trading allows you to earn your frontrunner premium in just seconds. There is another down-side, of course; high-speed trading may cause future flash-crashes (not a desirable outcome).
Do any big banks earn money by offering innovative, fair and sustainable products anymore? Do any big banks make money the old-fashioned way, by earning it? Just wondering. It seems as if we need more financial regulation, not less, despite what some industry apologists in Congress continue to assert.

Progressive Field, Cleveland, Ohio
CLEVELAND -- Ugly, sloppy or abbreviated, the Cleveland Indians will take wins any way they can get them right now.
This is no time to be picky. This is playoff time.
Zach McAllister lasted five innings and the Indians got two unearned gift runs from Houston in a 2-1, rain-shortened victory over the Astros on Friday night and moved into one of the two AL wild-card spots.
The game was delayed for 1 hour, 9 minutes before the umpires decided to call it after 6 1-2 innings. Shortly after Cleveland's win, Texas lost to Kansas City, allowing the Indians to jump the Rangers in the wild-card standings. It's the first time the Indians have been atop the ever-changing board since Aug. 4.
"For us to be able to get this win, regardless of how we got it, it's all about the `Ws' at this point," first baseman Nick Swisher said. "And if we keep winning, the season keeps going, and hopefully everyone here in Cleveland gets real happy."
The Indians, who entered the night trailing both Tampa Bay and Texas by one-half game for a wild-card spot. The Rays defeated Baltimore in 18 innings to remain in the top wild-card spot, a half-game ahead of the Indians.
Cleveland scored an unearned run in the second and fourth innings off Brett Oberholtzer (4-4).
McAllister (9-9) allowed just one run and got a key double play in the fifth as well as a diving catch by center fielder Michael Bourn in the first inning, a defensive gem that set the tone.
Cleveland also got two innings of hitless relief from Marc Rzepczynski and Bryan Shaw, who struck out three of four batters he faced for his first save.
Brandon Laird homered for the inept Astros, who committed three errors, lost their seventh straight and fell to 51-103 -- four losses shy of matching the club record set last season.
"Errors are a part of the game," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "We all know that, but at the same time you expect those plays to be made in a major league baseball game."
The win improved Cleveland's record to 48-18 against teams currently below .500 -- the majors' best mark -- and perhaps the biggest reason the Indians have a chance to make the playoffs for the first time since 2007.
With a very favorable schedule ahead, the Indians were hoping to capitalize on a four-game series against baseball's worst team to stay in the wild-card fray. They needed 11 innings on Thursday to finally beat Houston 2-1, and then got a major assist from the awful Astros -- and Mother Nature -- to win again.
As they waited out the delay, Indians fans kept tabs on the Tampa Bay-Baltimore and Texas-Kansas City games on Progressive Field's giant scoreboard. It was a similar scene in Cleveland's clubhouse as players stayed tuned to the action elsewhere.
"There's 18 TVs in here, there's games all over the place," Swisher said. "There's games you might not even want to be watching that are on. Right now, it's watch time. We've got ourselves in a great spot and just to be able to be here, a complete turnaround from last year, it's exciting. It's nice. It feels like people are jumping on board right now and it's the perfect time to do it."
McAllister worked in and out of trouble in the fifth, when his slim lead seemed about to vanish.
The Astros loaded the bases on a single, walk and single, but the right-hander got leadoff hitter Jonathan Villar to bounce into a 4-6-3 double play to preserve Cleveland's 2-1 lead.
McAllister threw four straight balls to Jose Altuve to start the sixth and was immediately lifted by Indians manager Terry Francona, who wasn't going to wait for the situation to worsen and went to his bullpen. Rzepczynski came on and got two outs -- one when catcher Carlos Santana threw out Altuve trying to steal -- before Shaw struck out Chris Carter.
With the heavy rain approaching, and the weather forecast looking bleak, the Indians took a 2-1 lead in the fourth thanks to two errors by the Astros on one play.
Ryan Raburn hit a one-out single and Asdrubal Cabrera walked. Michael Brantley then hit a grounder to first baseman Carter, who tried to get a forceout at second but threw wildly into left field, allowing Raburn to score. Both runners advanced when a throw to the plate by left fielder Marc Krauss hit a sliding Raburn in the shoulder and the ball skipped to the backstop, a sequence more suited to a Little League field than a major league ballpark.
McAllister got two quick outs in the second before Laird's fourth homer gave the Astros a 1-0 lead.
Game notes
The Indians are 14 games over .500 for the first time since May 24, 2011. ... Indians RHP Justin Masterson (oblique) threw a 33-pitch bullpen session, and it's possible the All-Star could pitch if the Indians make the postseason. Masterson, who has been out since Sept. 2, will be re-evaluated Saturday and could throw a simulated game as soon as Monday. ... The Indians have spread around the walk-off wealth. They have had 10 wins in their final at-bat with nine different players getting the game-winning hit. Jason Kipnis is the only player with two walk-off hits. ... Aviles snapped an 0-for-23 slid with a double in the sixth.

It was as good as expected.
L David, Hopewell Junction, NY – October 2013
Just beautiful! Perfect size, very elegant, sparkly! Just perfect!
Anonymous, Olney, MD – May 2013
It's a beautiful necklace, a timeless piece. The color of the sapphire was darker than I expected, in an artificially lit room it looks closer to black, once the sunrays hit it at a certain angle, the blues come out. I bought it as a gift and am yet to gift it, so I don't know how it will be received yet, but I thought it worthwhile.

Best of The Nest
How do I let my bridesmaids know that they have to pay for their own bridesmaid dresses? Two of them have never been in a wedding before, and I'm not sure if they'll think I'm being rude.
Don't worry! You're obviously not in danger of being rude if you're worrying about this. The easiest way to let them know is to be open about it. Bring your maids dress shopping with you, and when you're looking at a particular dress, it's okay to say to the group, "Do you girls think this one is going to be too expensive for you?" If one of the newbie maids blanches, either you or one of the girls who's been down this road before can explain that it's the norm for bridesmaids to pay their own way when it comes to dresses (and often accessories). If you are genuinely concerned that being in your wedding might be a financial burden for one or more of your maids, so long as you're sensitive to it, you should be fine -- look for dresses that are relatively inexpensive, or choose a color you like and have them select their own dresses, spending as much as they see fit.

IP bans don't work. Most people have variable IPs now a days. How do you suggest that Riot prevents this sort of people from making another account?
Lead Social Systems Designer
Zelo Omega
Junior Member
Well, Riot can and should ban by the account, smurfs, and the account holder's computer's MAC address which is alot harder to "change" than your IP address, If they want to be thorough with the permanent ban. If the computer used was not actually owned by the perpetrator, or riot receives complaints from owners of PC Shops and Educational facilities, then they can unban those specific computers at the requests of those businesses and institutions. In addtion, PC Shops and Universities can in fact track down who was using what computer. Back when I was at U of I, We had a floor meeting wherein our R.A. informed the floor that someone or someones have been illegally downloading large quantities of things from the pirate bay and warned that if these/that person/people did not stop they would suspend that person's internet priviledges on the school network for the entire semester in addition to heavy fines and such. Well, the perpetrator did not believe him and was caught a month later and was punished. They have the software to track them down folks. The real question here is Ethics.

"If you have so many dragon-like traits, does that mean you ARE one? Does that mean you ARE a dragon?"
These questions ran through 16 year old Josh's mind. His friends had always said he was like a dragon, even earning him the nickname "Dragon Boy" among his group of friends. Regardless of his nickname, Josh himself loved dragons. Even at 16, he had always wished he could meet one. Oddly enough, Josh could actually sympathsize more with dragons than with most humans.
Some of Josh's "dragon-like" traits were the fact that he was a loner. He didn't have many friends. The reason for his having so little friends was because he was very skeptical about new people, even more so than most others. He also hated being around a lot of people. Whenever he was in a large group, even if it wasn't that many people, he always felt too cramped. His parents and teachers thought he may possibly have had some form of autism.
Josh lay on his bed, his left arm under his head as he threw a tennis ball into the air, catching it each time it came back down to him. After a little while, he stopped and decided to log onto his computer. As soon as he logged on, he selected Internet Explorer and went to Google. He typed in "Draconic Traits" and chose the first selection. He began reading each part on the glossary which talked about draconic traits. So many parts intrigued him. One part of the glossary talked about "Phantom limbs". Josh began to read it aloud to himself
Various dragons experience phantom limbs where they sense or feel their lost appendages such as tails or wings. Sometimes they may even feel their entire draconic form. At different times these limbs may occur such as if the dragon is happy or sad. This phenominon still requires further study.
Whenever Josh walked around, be it outside or even at school or in his home, he always felt like there was something following behind him. He could never tell what it was. If he thought about it moving, it felt like it was moving. He never understood what this meant though. Or what this feeling was.
"Josh, dinner!" His mom called.
Josh got up and headed out into the kitchen. He took his seat at the kitchen table. As soon as his dinner was brought to him, he began to eat.
"Hey, guys?" Josh asked after taking a drink of water.
"Yes, dear?" Josh's mom replied.
"Is it possible for someone to have the traits of, say a dragon and actually BE one?" he asked as best as he could.
Josh's parents looked at Josh like he was crazy.
"Josh, dragons don't exist. That's physically impossible." His dad said.
"You don't know that! For all we know, there are probably tons of dragons living around us! We jsut don't know it!"
"And they somehow took on human forms? That makes even less sense!" His dad argued back.
"The Theory of Evolution doesn't make much sense either. That doesn't mean it's wrong!"
As the two bickered back and forth at each other, Josh's mom noticed soemthing appear on her son's neck. Part of his neck was turning a light blue.
"Josh, are you okay?" His mom asked.
"Yeah, why, mom?" Josh asked back.
"...Nothing..." Josh's mom replied.
As soon as Josh finished his dinner, he headed back into his room. He bookmarked the site where he read about phantom limbs and logged off, shutting off his computer soon afterwards. He hopped into his bed and quickly fell asleep.
The next day after school, Josh was sitting with his two friends, Ebony and Jamie. Jamie and Ebony were Josh's closest(And pretty much only) friends. They sat at one of the tables outside the school. Josh told his friends about last night and asked them what he thought about the whole "Dragon" thing.
"So you're wondering that if someone has as many traits as a dragon, that they might be one?" Jamie asked.
"Yeah." Josh answered.
"Well...I dunno. I mean it could be possible. It's also possible that at some point, there were actual dragons."
"What? That doesn't sound believeable! A human actually being a dragon?!" Ebony asked, pushing back her blonde hair.
"The Theory of Evolution isn't too believeable either. Doesn't mean it's not possible."
"That's what I told my dad." Josh said, laughing a little.
"So, Josh. Are you saying you think you might be a dragon?" Ebony asked.
"I dunno. I've had these weird feelings. Like at certain times, I feel like there's something on my back, following me. When I think about moving whatever it is, it feels like it is moving." He explained to his friends.
"Well I've heard that amputees can still feel the prescence of the limb they've lost even though it's no longer there. If there was a dragon living as a human, and didn't even know about it, the same could probably be true." Jamie explained.
"Besides, you are more like a dragon than a human." Jamie teased.
"Hey!" Josh exclaimed, pissed at that remark.
"My point exactly!" Jamie laughed.
Soon Ebony joined in the laughter. Even Josh himself started to laugh at the remark.
After they were done laughing, the three friends parted ways, each returning to their homes. Josh ran home, actually happy for the first time in a long while. After about 10-15 minutes of walking, Josh made it home. He noticed that his parents' car wasn't in the driveway. He figured they must have gone out. He grabbed his house key from his pocket and opened the door, allowing himself in.
Josh got himself a glass of water, drinking it all in two gulps. Afterwards he started to feel tired. He took off his bookbag and threw it on the ground. He took off his pants and hung them up, leaving only his shirt and boxers on. He hopped into bed and quickly, drifted into sleep.
By the time he woke up, it was dark. He tried to pull his hands from under the sheets but each time he did, the sheets just moved along with his hands. Josh put his right hand over his left and grabbed part of the sheet, pulling it off his left hand. He brought his hand into clear view and noticed something...very off about his hand. He only had three fingers! And the remaining three had extended fingernails growing from them, the nails slowly encircling themselves around the tips of his fingers. Becoming bigger, becoming thicker, and exentually turning into dragon claws!
"AHH!" Josh let out a shriek of terror as he put his paw on his right hand and removed the sheet from it. His right hand, now looked just like his left hand! It was exactly the same! Only three fingers on each hand, each with a claw growing from the tips of his remaining fingers. He couldn't believe any of this! He was certain he was still asleep.
Just then, his chest began to hurt. His heartbeat got stronger with each beat. With each "Tha-thump" "Tha-thump", the pain got worse. It felt like someone was beating on his chest and wouldn't stop. Shortly after, the pain subsided. He put his paw on his chest and tried to feel his heartbeat. It was definately different. His heart felt stronger, more powerful. It felt like...the heart of a dragon.
His heart rate went up again as his chest expanded and ripped out of his shirt. He looked down, noticing that not only was his chest bigger, it also had red scutes growing off it! He felt like he was going to be sick so he ran into the bathroom. He kneeled over the toilet and puked into it. However, instead of puke, what came out was acid. He tried his hardest to catch his breath as he watched the acid he had just spit up eat away at parts of the toilet.
"Okay...that CAN'T be normal stomach acids." He said to himself.
He got up and looked in the mirror. He noticed his ears were stretching and growing. Despite the obvious pain it put him in, Josh wanted to see what would happen to his ears. He winced in pain, trying to keep at least one eye open so he could see what they become. They finished their stretching, eventually becoming elegant finned ears. The membranes in his ears faded to red, while the parts with scales were a deep blue.
His shorts began to expand, eventually ripping apart. He looked down, noticing THAT was now gone. Instead, a sheath, covered by his scutes replaced it.
"Oh, great! This has to be a dream! Dad was right. This isn't real!" He said to himself, trying to keep himself from losing his mind.
A small stub appeared on his back. The stub began to grow outward, becoming a dragon's tail. A sharp, pointed fin grew out of the end of his tail. Sharp spikes emerged from his body, starting from the top of his head, going down his back, and finally ending at his new tail.
His shoulder blades began to reform. He screamed in agonizing pain as two very thin arms grew from his back, eventually becoming wings. Without thinking, Josh flapped his new draconic wings. With each flap, he slowly began to move off of the ground, hovering over it for a quick second before his new wings gave out.
He fell back to Earth, smacking his face on the bathtub.
"OW! Dammit!" He cursed, holding his nose, being very careful of his claws.
Just then he felt his nose extend out. His nose began to gain some slightly more mass to it as it extended and grew, becoming a reptilian snout. His snout had two slits for nostrils and soon began to grow blue scales all over it, which soon grew to cover his whole body.
Josh's legs snapped and cracked. He yelled in pain before falling face first again, this time smacking his snout on the toilet, only small chunks of the toilet missing from his acid. He tried to bring his paws to his snout but they wouldn't allow it. As he tried to stand up, he soon found out why. His posture was now quadruped!
"Oww! My poor snout!" He said to himself, the pain making his snout start to go numb.
His eyes stung as they became slitted orbs, surrounded by a red iris. His body finished its changing and rearranging as his hair began to completely fall from his body. Two beautiful, blood red horns grew out and crowned the top of his head. The transformation topped itself off as Josh's body began to expand, gaining more length until he was the length of a young adult dragon. His tail extended itself out to counterweight his new form.
He tried to think over what he could do. His parents would most likely be home soon and they wouldn't possibly believe that a young dragon was their son. Even Josh's father would have a hard time believeing all this.
The dragon began to sweat, his tail wagging around frantically. As he ran around, trying not to knock anything down with his long tail. Soon he stopped pacing as he heard the door open.
"No...!" He thought to himself.
The door opened and his parents walked in.
"WHAT THE?!" Josh's dad shouted. "That can't be possible!"
Josh's mom said nothing. She walked over to her dragon son and hugged him, kissing him on his now dragon head.
"Mylene, do you know what happened to him?" Josh's dad asked.
Josh's mom stood up and sighed. "He got it from me." She explained.
"How, mom?" Josh asked.
"Yes, I don't get it either." Josh's dad said, still not believing any of it.
"It's an ativism."
"A what?" Josh asked.
"A trait you got from one of your ancestors. One of your ancestors on my side was a dragon who lived well over 2000 years ago. The trait didn't reoccur until later. When you were born. Then the dragon gene that our ancestor left in our family long ago was reborn in you." Josh's mom explained.
"So I'm actually a real living dragon?" Josh asked.
"Somewhat. You were born as a human so I guess technically you are a human living in the body of a dragon."
Josh did not understand a word his mom just said. He had a confused look on his face.
"Then, Mylene. Do you have dragon blood in you?" Josh's dad asked.
"I doubt it, Peter. Most likely, even if I do have dragon DNA in me, it's a very, very little bit. That kind of thing dissappears as a new child is born."
Josh walked outside, as did his parents. He opened his wings and hovered for a quick second. He tried flapping his wings and rose a few feet. He tried once more and rose further from the ground. He tried to continue flapping his wings and eventually propelled himself forward. He flew around, happily. For once, he could say he really did feel happiness.
"I'm free!" He shouted, mindlessly into the sky.
He flew for his friends' houses, wanting to tell them about all that had happened. With a smile on his muzzle, and happiness in his heart, he flew through the sky. The same sky his ancestors had populated so long ago. To him, he was a dragon. Now and forever.
