What are you doing to prepare?
Holidays are huge.
That's no secret to e-retailers. We at Internet Retailer also know the holiday season can make or break a retailer's annual sales. As such (and as usual), we are planning extensive coverage of the tactics retailers are employing, and also stories with tips to help retailers make the most out of those few short and crucial months.
But I also know the time is now—(actually, the time probably began a few months ago) that retailers are drafting their game plans to tackle the season. So I'm curious—what are you doing to prepare? And what have you done in the past that has worked (and that has not worked).
Are you focusing on site performance this year, striving to ensure not one customer is lost because he got sick of waiting for a page to load? Are you ramping up social media spend, trying new ways to turn happy customers into brand advocates? Are you employing new search ad spending tactics? Running leaner on inventory or stocking up on hot items to ensure you have enough to go around? And, for bricks-and-mortar shops, how is your holiday preparation plan different for e-commerce as opposed to stores?
I'm sure there are some interesting and less obvious nuggets of wisdom you can share.
Case in point: Experian Hitwise recently reported that gift card promotions in holiday e-mail marketing messages more than tripled conversion rates for multichannel retailers last year. Who knew shoppers were so wild for gift cards?
The same report also found e-mails containing free shipping offers with no minimum spending requirement had 70% higher conversion rates, triple the revenue per e-mail and more than double the average order value compared to free shipping offers with minimum spending requirements. I wonder if retailers knew there was that big a difference between the two versions of free shipping.
I'm certain our readers have uncovered other hidden gems. So please share: How are you greeting the Holidays? And what have you done in years past that helped make your holiday sales more jolly and less like a lump of coal?
Training, signage and motivation are all critical elements to making in-store pickup work. If done ...

Sour smell from new heat pump
Got a new heat pump in July. Two cycles, one gentle, non-smelly air. The other, strong air current that smells like soured clothes. Installer says I probably have a leak in my ductwork. Why would it smell only when the "tornadic" air current runs? And any other suggestions about cause of the smelly air?
I wrote this response awhile back, can it be dirty socks syndrome?
From information gathered over many years, most professionals agree the "Dirty Sock Syndrome" is caused by a bacteria that collects and grows on the indoor coils of heat pumps and air conditioners.
Most customers describe the odor as a musky, dirty, locker room smell. The problem is similar to an odor that is blown out of a car air conditioner when the AC has not been used for a while.
It is very important to properly identify the problem before any action can be taken, since many odor problems are incorrectly labeled as a dirty sock problem. Eliminate dirty drain pans holding water, drain lines connected to plumbing systems without adequate traps or dry traps, return air leaks in ductwork or chases, or dead animals in ductwork or near the living space. If the odor is present ALL the time, especially during heat, the problem is NOT a dirty sock syndrome complaint. Dirty sock complaints only smell when the indoor coil gets cool and the bacteria releases its odor into the air stream.
The Dirty Sock Syndrome plagues 0.5 to 2 percent of heat pumps in the southern states, with Texas being on the lower side of the percentage. The syndrome is not brand specific, with all manufacturers acknowledging complaints. The problem itself is sporadic and limited to isolated households and is somehow related to the living style or products in the home. This can be proven as Trane and other manufacturers have documented changing out systems with new product and the complaint returns. After removing a "stinky" unit from a complaint house, the unit can be cleaned and installed elsewhere without a complaint surfacing. Changing the brand of equipment is met with a similar lack of success. Much effort and expense has been given by the industry to research and solve this syndrome.
Once the problem has been properly identified, action can then be taken to resolve or reduce the complaint, starting with a thorough cleaning of the evaporator coil with a non-acid coil cleaner. Cleaning will bring the system back to normal and will usually prevent a complaint for the rest of the heating season. Some systems cleaned early in the season or those having more of a problem may have repeated problems during the same season, especially if the weather conditions force a system back and forth from heating to cooling. The majority of complaints are resolved with a thorough cleaning.
If the coil cleaning does not resolve the complaint to a satisfactory level, the next suggested action would be to clean the coil again and apply a coating of Alathene II, a special spray designed to continuously protect coils from fouling caused by airborne contaminates. In addition, a UV light system at the coil may retard the bacteria from comming back. If seasonal cleanings or the application of Alathene II does not resolve the complaint, as a last resort, your coil may need to be replaced.

Chet Ferguson
One of the few nonagenarians born in Seattle, Chester H. Ferguson "Chet" died on July 22, 2012. He was born on March 18, 1920 in the Ravenna district. His family soon moved to Medford, OR where he grew up.
After graduating from Medford HS, he enlisted in the
in Sept 1939 with a topographic engineering battalion. He landed in Normandy on D+11, supported the armies, and followed them through Europe to Fulda, Germany where he was headquartered on VE Day. He served a few months as the assistant major of Brussels before returning from overseas in Sept 1945. He completed his civil engineering education at Oregon State U. in 1949.
He admits to having had a very interesting and satisfactory career. The first ten years were spent in the construction industry, the next ten at Boeing, and the final fifteen as an industrial specialist with the Small Business Administration.
He and his wife Catherine married in Medford, OR in 1947, and have lived on Mercer Island since 1959, where they raised their 3 children. During their residence on Mercer Island they became founding members of the Congregational Church.
Chet was a charter member of the M.I. Probus Club and the M.I. Wranglers Club. He was also Director of the Seattle chapter of the Amer. Soc. of Civil Engineers, a member of the M.I. I-90 committee, and the Metro Transit Citizen Advisory Committee. He remained an avid golfer and bridge player into his 90's. Chet was well loved by his family and many friends, and will be deeply missed.
Chet is survived by his wife Catherine, sons Greg (Kathy) and Bob (Nancy), grandsons Jake and Mick, granddaughter Susanne, great grandchildren Shea and Jaida, sister Phoebe, brother Hugh and many nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his daughter Sue.
A memorial service will be held on Sunday, Aug 5th at 2 PM at the Mercer Island Congregational Church.

Nintendo's Iwata Confirms Big Games This Year 120
from the letsa-go dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Let's see... Mario Sunshine, Mario Strikers: Charged (w/online play), Metroid 3, Super Smash Brothers: Brawl, and Super Paper Mario is already out (I'm almost finished, great game). The Wii is looking better and better. Combine that with as the Wii ages 3rd parties will get better and better at utilizing the controls (for something other than a mini-game fest). I can't wait until we start getting good sports games with Wii controls (like Wii play but fleshed out controls and game play). Tennis especially. If they can get reading the racket right it should be great. How will they handle the next Madden? The last one got good reviews, now that they have a game or two under their belt let's see what it's like!
Meanwhile, the 360 and PS3 have games here and there that look interesting, but neither seems to have nearly as many games that I'm looking forward to. And most of those (God of War III, Bioshock, etc) are not exactly breaking new ground in controls, they are just refinement of some of the games we have had for a long time (beat-'em ups, FPSes).
The DS also produced some really quirky and fun games (like Yoshi's Touch and Go, for example). I can't wait to see more of that kind of stuff on the Wii. How about porting the new Sam & Max games or other adventure games? How about a Phoenix Wright title?
The Wii continues to be a very interesting system, and as it hits its stride better (remember the first year or two of the PS2?) things will only get better.
An optimist believes we live in the best world possible; a pessimist fears this is true.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 11/12/14
Scoring around the rim isn't as simple as telling DeMarcus Cousins to camp out 5 feet away and bully his way to the basket. For Cousins to work better in the post the entire offense has to flow which it did in the Kings' 104-86 exhibition win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. Kings coach Michael Malone would like to play inside-out with Cousins working as a facilitator for teammates in some halfcourt sets but said it's not only Cousins' responsibility to post up and make something happen. "We have to do a better job of occupying the defense when he does post up" Malone said before Cousins collected 16 points and 12 rebounds against the Lakers. "We just can't sit there." Cousins said Malone's offensive sets are giving him freedom to make plays especially when the Kings have the proper spacing on offense and aren't stubbornly playing one-on-one. "There's a time to run an iso (isolation play); there's a time to run a set" Cousins said. "All that comes into play and makes th...

No kidding. That's why I called it an archive.
In just a few months, the concept has gone from crazy idea to "wow - they might just pull this off." I'm not sure whether it can really rival a dedicated game engine, but that doesn't matter. It's a different idea well implemented.

REVIEWER: Kaz
I went with the tomato version (sorry, I just prefer that over mushroom)
REVIEWER: Littlewifey1
I was looking forward to trying this recipe but was disappointed with the outcome. My family ate it, but there were leftovers - which were apparently better on the second night. Will try to make this with tomato soup or similar, before I make a final decision to keep recipe or not.
REVIEWER: Lisa Simpson
Hard for me to review this one because the family prefer the one with the tomato soup rather than cream of mushroom. It is a good recipe though. I took the previous reviewer's advice and added half a can of water too. It is much easier to make porcupine balls in the slow cooker rather than stove to so I will be doing that in future.
REVIEWER: 2 boys and a girl
This was so quick and easy and my boys ate it. I added 1/2 a soup can of water as well and it worked perfectly. Also added dried mixed herbs and garlic powder to the meatballs - would make again for sure. I served it with mashed potatoes.
REVIEWER: bell82
Ingredients were easy enough to find. Smelt yummy while cooking, I added a mixed herb and garlic blend to meatballs for flavour. Agree that needs more liquid as came out a bit gluggy. Very tasty, will probably make again!

FCC Title II Protectionism Creates a U.S. Digital Single Market like EU'sSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Wed, 2015-03-11 11:04
On February 26th, the FCC executed President Obama's call to "implement the strongest possible rules" to regulate the Internet as a telephone utility under "Title II" of the Telecommunications Act.
Legally, the result of this "reclassification" was for President Obama and the FCC to assert regulatory jurisdiction over the Internet ecosystem, creating a de facto American "Digital [Internet] Single Market" industrial policy, like the European Commission is in the process of creating for the European Union.
Legally, America now has a single digital telecommunications/Internet market/ecosystem because the FCC is effectively reclassifying Internet traffic as Title II telecommunications and Title II is a holistic, end-to-end, 1934 regulatory regime designed for the FCC to decide most everything in the assumed monopoly telecommunications ecosystem from originating and terminating local access, long distance, phone and network equipment manufacturing, directories, etc.

Google's Anti-Conservative Values -- CPAC 2015 Google PanelSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Sun, 2015-03-01 14:41
I was asked to speak at CPAC 2015 on a February 28thpanel at National Harbor on Google entitled: "The United States of Google: Big Brother & Big Data" with Seton Motley of Less Government and Erik Telford of the Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity.
My power point presentation, "Google's Anti-Conservative Values," for the first time contrasted the traditional conservative values of the American Conservative Union with Google's values.
Below is an outline of my remarks:
Google Has Anti-Conservative Values
Google's FCC Title II Privacy Liability NightmareSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Fri, 2015-02-06 11:10
The FCC's official confirmation that it will reclassify wireline and wireless broadband as Title II "telecommunications," and that it also will apply Title II "Section 222: Privacy of Customer Information" has sweeping, under-appreciated, and negative implications for Google Inc.
Google will certainly be captured by the new privacy regulations. Given its core business model of monetizing users' information without their meaningful permission, and given its industry-worst privacy record and rampant Android security problems protecting users' private information, Google will own more serious Section 222 privacy liabilities than any FCC captured entity -- by far.

Google Welcome Memo to Davos Attendees – A SatireSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Thu, 2015-01-15 10:53
January 21, 2015
Memorandum For: All 2015 Davos Attendees
From: Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt, Davos Man, & Co-Chair of Davos 2015
Subject: Welcome & Davos 2015 Orientation Information
Google and the World Economic Forum welcome you to the first of many Davos G-1 Summits!
Google is honored to sponsor and co-opt this august event because so many European heads of state, government officials, and elites will be here for the influencing.
Our mission here will be to organize Davos' information and make it universally accessible and useful.
Your privacy is our highest priority. Let us reassure you that what happens in Davos, stays in Davos.
Google's high altitude balloons and drones will provide all Davos' Internet access. Android and Google+ will be the official Davos operating system and social networking platform respectively. And Google Translate will be the only approved translation service.
Deceptive Branding is "How Google Works" – Ask EC Law EnforcementSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Wed, 2015-01-07 17:28
As EC law enforcement confronts Google's uniquely extensive wrongdoing in competition, privacy/security, property, and tax matters, it is critical to examine if Google's longstanding public promises to consumers to gain their trust are in fact true and trustworthy.
Central to law enforcement's role in determining the extent of its Google charges, penalties and remedies is determining whether or not the infractions were willful or unintentional.
Bullying is "How Google Works" – Ask Law EnforcementSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Sun, 2014-12-21 19:07
Google will bully most any entity or anyone, if it thinks it can get away with it.
Google just filed a highly-unusual, and exceptionally-aggressive, lawsuit that asks a Federal Court to issue a restraining order to preemptively shut down a broad and ongoing State Attorney Generals law enforcement investigation into Google's alleged willful blindness to advertising and profiting from well-known, recurring, illegal activities on Google's platform.
Google: We Will Track You -- a SatireSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Fri, 2014-12-19 11:49
Below are my fun and satirical lyrics to: "We Will Track You," which is a political parody/satire of Google's essence -- sung to the classic tune: "We Will Rock You," by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band, Queen, which was written by Frank Holdgren.
We Will Track You
Nothin's private you can't survive it
So long to privacy cause we love our piracy

Google's Serial Bad Acts Harm American Interests in EuropeSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Fri, 2014-11-28 11:52
Google has no shame. Google is throwing stones at Europe while living in a glass house.
In response to a non-binding resolution passed by a 384-174 vote by the European Parliament to urge the European Commission to enforce European law against Google's search engine >90% dominance of the European digital market, Google has advanced three self-serving, America-harming, PR narratives that the overwhelming evidence shows are untrue.
One American bad apple is spoiling it for the whole American bunch.
First, Google shamelessly plays the victim acting like it hasn't done anything wrong worthy of European law enforcement when Google knows the evidence proves it is a serial bad actor with the worst antitrust, privacy, and property infringement rap sheet of any American multinational in Europe or the world.

Decided to take a picture of something different today, my stereo equalizer
Khai.ster, jcallina, Nederchopped, and 7 other people added this photo to their favorites.
Now I'm a total GEEK, when it comes to Hi-Fi.
So I'm going for a a guess, Rotel?
Is it old, looks quite retro?
Nice pic anyway, you got in nice & close, good angle too!
Its an old Akai Hi Fi, we kept it because we still have a stack of old vinyl records that we listen to often.
Akai, yeah I LOVED them, made some good stuff many years ago.
Great photo. I've used it on my blog a few times now, so thanks for cc-licensing it!
wow, i have a one like this too :D , i have since the early 80,s

BIG, MVRDV and Snøhetta Among 6 Shortlisted for Oslo Goverment Quarter

Rather, ideas from all the shortlisted proposals will be extracted and used in an eventual masterplan.

Professionals Roar in Norway: Unique Architecture Under Threat from Government
Architecture institutions and architects are outraged by the Norwegian Government plans to demolish a unique part of Norwegian and international architectural history. Called the Y-block for its Y-shaped plan, the building in the Government Quarter in the centre of the Norwegian capital of Oslo was designed by the Norwegian architect and pioneer inventor Erling Viksjø in the 1950s together with the "H-block" or Highrise (1959) and was completed in 1969. The building is internationally well known for the extraordinary craftsmanship of its sandblasted concrete and the famous Pablo Picasso murals, "The Fishermen" and "The Seagull".

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

It always amazes when 15 year olds write memoirs or biographies. Soon it will be fetuses. But aside from this seriousness, Reuters reports that Miley Cyrus or "Hannah Montana" is planning to write a memoir.
The book will be published by Disney-Hyperion Books and be reader ready come this spring, according to the article.
According to Reuters, the book "will trace her life from her roots in the Southern United States to Hollywood celebrity and will feature photographs from her famous family."
Cyrus has gotten into a bit of "trouble" due to some "racy" photos of the teen that leaked onto the Internet. Ah, celebrity.

Cement in a peat bog
To provide access I was going to put some stepping stones in the bog I am contemplating, I assume these need to be mounted on 'pillars' which are in turn sit on the liner. Since I dont have real stone the stepping stones would be concrete and the pillars will either be concrete or what is called thermalite. The latter looks like aerated cement.
Will the bog dissolve the pillar etc?
Is concrete, even 20-30 year old concrete/cement, bad for a bog? I assume there will be some dissolving but I dont know how rapid this will be or its effect on the bog?
The lime in the concrete/cement will over the course of a few years completely alter the PH of your bog, and I would not recommend it's use.
I would recommend the use of logs for pillars. the acidity of the bog will not promote the rapid decay of the wood and if stone tops are what you are looking for sandstone is the best way to go.

Hip to snip for March Madness?
The link seems so obvious: March Madness and vasectomies.
The story is going around that men in large numbers are choosing to schedule the procedure during the NCAA basketball tournament – a perfect excuse, as if they needed one, to camp out in the recliner for a few days.
A bag of frozen peas (for the swelling) and a sympathetic wife, and you're good to go. Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert, among many, yukked up the idea recently. ("There's a great new way to make sure you don't miss a game.")
But is it true?
Dr. Jerome Parnell of Capital Urological Associates/WSP in Raleigh says it's absolutely the case.
"There are several times when you can predict numbers will go up," Parnell said. "March Madness is one, the Friday before Super Bowl Sunday, and then between Thanksgiving and Christmas. But this is by far the busiest time.
"They wear their team colors, too – if you know what I mean," he said with a laugh.
Actually, the choice makes sense. There is a short recovery period with a vasectomy.
"Most men try to get them done on a Thursday or Friday, so they have some downtime and can go back to work on Monday," said Ajay Nangia, associate professor of urology at the University of Kansas Medical Center, who performs about 120 vasectomies a year.
Doctors recommend patients stay off their feet for two days and use an ice pack, or a bag of frozen peas, to reduce inflammation. It's a good idea for patients to refrain from strenuous activities the following week.
Nangia said he does perform more vasectomies at the end of the year, for insurance purposes. Patients schedule procedures before a new deductible kicks in.
He called the vasectomy-March Madness link "a good marketing strategy."
Indeed, the Oregon Urology Institute in Eugene advertised for vasectomies before the basketball tournament. Its "Snip City 2010" campaign featured a Dick Vitale voice telling potential patients to "take care of the equipment and lower your seed for the tourney." The free recovery kit included "a bag of frozen peas for those tender moments."
The decision to have a vasectomy is serious, of course, and for most men the timing has little to do with what's on TV. Nangia said men decide to get them done when they and their spouses or partners decide their families are complete.
But he doesn't mind the hubbub.
"I like that this brings some awareness," Nangia said.
About 520,000 vasectomies are performed annually, accounting for only about 11 percent of contraception used in this country, he said. Vasectomy is an outpatient procedure that takes about a half-hour.
Missed your opportunity in March? The Masters starts April 5.

Today, electronic health records and health IT offer promise for improving patient safety and reducing inefficiencies. Given its role in providing healthcare in the United States, the federal government has been urged to take a leadership role to improve the quality and effectiveness of healthcare by promoting health records and health IT.
To that end, the US Department of Defense and the US Department of Veterans Affairs have come a long way in the areas of health IT, inoperability standards and healthcare information sharing. Both continue to work towards improving the exchange of medical information to best serve the country's active duty service members and veterans. They're also working with the National Coordinator for Health Information in promoting the adoption of federal standards and broader use of electronic health records.

'Godzilla': How the Filmmakers Created the Iconic Creature and a Fully CG San Francisco (Photos)
Godzilla was inspired by bears, Komodo dragons, lizards, lions and wolves, says MPC VFX supervisor Guillaume Rocheron.
Gareth Edwards' Godzilla — which has now brought in $323.4 million worldwide — involved some highly skilled work in bringing the monster to life, led by the film's VFX supervisor Jim Rygiel, who won Oscar for all each film in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Translating Godzilla from concept artwork to a photoreal CG creature took lead VFX house Moving Picture Company's artists seven months — from the underlying bones, fat and muscle structure to the thickness and texture of his scales. "There is a lot of legacy from the original movie. For us, it was a unique opportunity not only to create this iconic creature but to tell the story," said MPC VFX supervisor Guillaume Rocheron, who won an Academy Award in 2013 as part of the Life of Pi VFX team.
PHOTOS: Godzilla Over the Decades
To create the 350-foot Godzilla, the VFX team started by studying animals including bears, Komodo dragons, lizards, lions and wolves, "watching what they do when they are attacking or scared." The creature was given the movements with keyframe animation, meaning that it was animated by hand and without performance capture reference.
Another sizable challenge for MPC was the fact that Godzilla was shot in incentive-friendly Vancouver, while the climatic third act of the film occurs in the highly recognizable city of San Francisco.
MPC created a completely digital version of the downtown area, giving the filmmakers control to allow the creature to interact with the environment. "The entire bay, the water, the Golden Gate Bridge, all the boats are also CG created," Rocheron said.
This work also meant ensuring that Godzilla was the right scale whether the virtual camera was placed on the ground or on the roof of a building.
Destruction effects were also used as an element to remind the viewer of the scale of the monsters in addition to showing spectacle. This involved some high-resolution simulations of buildings collapsing and swirling interactive dust.
MPC's in-house destruction simulation tool, Kali, was upgraded for the project. The software team added new tools to Kali for postprocessing as well as performance, to allow faster simulation and rendering.

After he accepted his Gold Glove award, had a championship medallion draped around his neck and helped his Chugiak Post 33 teammates hoist their American Legion state championship baseball trophy Thursday night, second baseman Alex Hess could not stop beaming.
"It feels so good,'' he said. "I can't stop smiling. My jaw is gonna be sore in the morning.''
Consider that minor pain for such a huge gain.
Hess ripped a bases-loaded, one-out, walk-off single in the bottom of the 11th inning to plate pinch-runner John Ives, give Chugiak a 4-3 win over South Post 4 at Mulcahy Stadium. The victory delivered redemption for Chugiak after falling in state championship games a year ago.
Hess' sharp grounder through the left side of South's drawn-in infield sent his teammates rushing onto the field from the first-base dugout, throwing their caps in the air at and gathering for bouncing group hugs.
All Ives knew about the decisive play was that Hess hit the ball hard between the third baseman and shortstop. And with the bases loaded, Ives knew he needed to bust his butt to get to home plate in case an infielder snagged Hess' shot.
"I didn't even know where the ball was,'' Ives said. "I just took off.''
Chugiak soon will take off for Eugene, Ore., where it opens play Thursday in the Northwest Regional tournament.
Chugiak earned its trip the hard way. It was the only unbeaten team remaining in the 10-team, double-elimination tournament entering Thursday, when South beat Chugiak 7-4 in an early game to force an if-necessary game for the title.
Chugiak knew that scenario all too well. A year ago, it was again the only undefeated team on the final day of the tournament, but lost twice to Kenai.
"We were close last year -- in the same position as today -- and we had a couple guys really scared we were going to repeat that,'' Ives said. "But we had a lot of people play tough.''
That group included starter Zach Brueggeman, who allowed just one unearned run in six innings of the if-necessary game, and reliever Deven Ferriss, who earned the win with four innings of scoreless, two-hit relief.
Trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the sixth inning in the decisive game, Hess, Ferriss and Conner Cimmiyotti sparked a three-run rally.
Hess drew a leadoff walk and advanced to second on a Ferriss sacrifice bunt that was so perfectly placed down the first-base line that it did not warrant a throw and turned into an infield single.
Cimmiyotti followed with another splendid bunt down the first-base line for a single. When South pitcher Sage Dudick's underhanded toss to first base to try to nail Cimmiyotti was low and errant, Hess and Ferriss both motored around the diamond to give Chugiak a 2-1 lead.
Chase Gall's single later in the inning scored Cimmiyotti to extend Chugiak's lead to 3-1.
South rallied for a 3-3 tie in the top of the eighth, when Spencer Floyd and Nick Jensen sandwiched walks around Vic Talwar's double to load the bases. Matt Illalio drove in Floyd with a fielder's choice and Alec Valdez scored Talwar with a ground-out.
"South is a great opponent -- they can really hit when they want to,'' said Chugiak catcher Chase Wilson. "The way they came back to tie it was unbelievable.''
Just as remarkable was Wilson's handling of the six pitchers he caught over the course of Thursday's two games. Literally dozens of times, Wilson dropped to his knees to block pitches in the dirt. He did not allow a passed ball in 20 innings, and he threw out two base-runners in the first game.
Hess did not have first-hand knowledge of Chugiak's disappointment of a year ago -- he moved here from Montana at the start of last school year. Still, teammates who returned to the squad this season, like Wilson, made sure he knew what motivated them.
"They tell us every day what happened last year and say, 'We can't let that happen again,' '' Hess said. "I promised them this year, from the first day, that we'd get it.''
South made that a difficult proposition. Josh Crapps pitched into the ninth inning of Thursday's opener and Jacob Crapps came in to earn the save. Illalio, Valdez and Andy Schafer each drove in two runs, and South erupted for a six-run fourth inning.
Come the bottom of the 11th in the second game, though, Chugiak no longer had to worry about another title slipping from its grasp.
"It's just so surreal, still,'' Wilson said 15 minutes after the finish. "We knew we had to fight. It wasn't going to be given to us.''

The highly-anticipated TAI CHI ZERO -- a classic martial-art movie with
a steampunk twist, was supposed to be a turning point in the well-worn
genre. Instead it's a huge disappointment in all level. So here we are
again -- an immediate sequel titled as TAI CHI HERO which is shot
back-to-back with the first movie. The biggest question is: does this
second installment improves considerably? Well, the answer is a big
"NO". Even though TAI CHI HERO has lowered down its geek culture
references and focusing more on character-driven drama, this
disappointing sequel remains lackluster from start till the end.
Picking up where the last movie left off, we learn that Yang Luchan (Jayden Yuan) is now preparing to marry Yuniang (Angelababy). During the wedding ceremony, Yuniang's elder brother Zaiyang (Feng Shaofeng) and his wife (Nikki Hsieh) make their sudden appearance. Zaiyang doesn't particularly agrees with her decision to marry Yang Luchan just because he saves her life in the previous movie. He also reminds everyone why their Chen-style martial arts cannot be taught to outsiders like Yang Luchan. In a brief flashback scene dating way back at one hundred years ago, we learn that Chen-style martial arts was made legendary by the 10th Grandmaster (Patrick Tse, in a heavy makeup) who had many students from all over the regions. One day, a formidable Monk (Daniel Wu, also in a heavy makeup) made an appearance to the Chen village, and subsequently revealed that he has apprehended one of 10th Grandmaster's students who had ran amok in the region. The monk who had an incredible martial-art skill, warned the 10th Grandmaster never ever teaching outsiders again or else he would return and destroy the village.
Meanwhile, the badly-injured Fang Zijing (Eddie Peng) is determined for payback time and wants to hatch an evil plan with the corrupt Duke Fleming (Peter Stormare) of the East India Company, to avenge the death of his British girlfriend, Claire (Mandy Lieu). With the help of Duke Fleming, Zijing is appointed as the new deputy governor. With a large army and heavy artillery at his disposal, he strives to destroy Chen village once and for all so he can continue to make the railroad where he last left off.
At 103 minutes, TAI CHI HERO wastes too much time establishing a lot of new characters, new agenda as well as extensive backstory that doesn't really drives the movie forward. Don't get me wrong. It's good that the sequel tries hard to expand its universe but expansion alone don't mean a thing if the execution feels hollow, yet uninvolving. Not surprisingly, the story fails to build any sort of compelling tension. Even the so-called characters development in this sequel feels perfunctory.
All the returning actors here are more or less the same disappointment. Newcomer Jayden Yuan continues to be the biggest disappointment of all. His so-called "from zero to hero" character is hardly convincing at all. Again, his performance is as wooden as a piece of plank. Angelababy is basically repeating herself from the first movie without any further development to her character. Her chemistry with Jayden Yuan is close to zero, while there's hardly a conflict or struggle between their characters throughout the movie that could have been worthwhile to watch them for. Other supporting actors including Eddie Peng and Feng Shaofeng are nothing more than strict caricatures.
Where all else fails, one would expect that Fung and martial-art choreographer Sammo Hung could at least redeem this sorry sequel with rousing set pieces. Alas, the movie even fails in that level -- again. All the fighting sequences here are all style but little sense of excitement. Even the would-be classic showdown between Luchan and Master Li (Yuen Biao) in the climactic finale doesn't really generates the necessary "wow" factor.
If that's not insulting enough, TAI CHI HERO ends with another sequel (where Fung has planned to make his movie into a trilogy) which hardly generates any sense of excitement at all. With two back-to-back movies already failed to make a lasting impact, what's the use of anticipating a third movie?

Just four years ago, Allison did a post called Built Ins for Pets with photos and ideas for built in dog beds, feeding stations and cute spaces for cats. Photos from that post has been pinned 434,000 times! Yes, you read that correctly.
