MAVEN Mission To Mars Will Proceed, Despite Shutdown 87
from the game-on 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).
Explain to older generations that we missed launching MAVEN? I think they will probably be more pissed about abandoning Lunar exploration, the demise of US manned launch capabilities for almost a decade, and the failure to exploit the once in 175 year planetary alignment to explore the ice giants with more than one probe. They might also be pissed that even though NASA shut down temporarily, it had fallen less than 0.5% of the federal spending. Older generations will never know or care if a 2 or 3 year launch window was missed. They will only care about the big things.
More likely, future generations will ask "What the hell is 'NASA'?"
And then say, "You mean people really DID go to the moon? Which mining company sponsored that?"
I rather doubt our congresspeople (of either party) can spell "future generations", much less consider it when planning their next campaign.
It would be a sad day we would have to explain to later generations that we missed a launch window because of a childish fight of some politicians.
The good news is that you don't have to explain a thing. If they're not complete idiots, they'll understand because they'll be doing the same thing.
We are sending maven to mars? Thank goodness for small mercies.
An engineer at NASA told me it's not really that great at producing something called binaries for CI, assembly:single notwithstanding. No idea what he meant, but he seemed to know what he's talking about.
I imagine the mission will come off without a hitch as long as our network connection to it remains up at all times to receive all the useful verbose reporting it gives us.
Oh, don't worry, they'd make sure to send mvn -o off to space; download times for dependency updates would certainly not be stellar.
Why would NASA send Maven to Mars? Are they building Java apps up there or something?
http://maven.apache.org/ [apache.org]
Never believed NASA was a waste.... Until now...
What good is a ticket to the good life, if you can't find the entrance?

Kingdom Of The Trees. Peradeniya Botanical Garden. Sri Lanka

Photograph - Photograph
Peradeniya Royal Botanical Gardens, the finest of its kind in Asia, the largest of the botanical gardens of Sri Lanka, couldn't be better located. In the Mediterranean climate of Kandy, the gateway to the Central Highlands, the
Sri Lanka�s botanic gardens have a long and proud history, punctuated by colonialism, and industrial change. Throughout this period the gardens have continued to flourish, and the plant collections and herbarium grown. Within the context of the 21st century, the gardens represent a significant national asset for Sri Lanka.
Gardens, at an elevation of 500 meters above sea-level, were tightly bounded on three sides by a loop of River Mahaweli (Great sandy river), the largest river of Sri Lanka.

Olivia Wilde will star in and produce Meadowland, a psychological thriller that will be directed by Reed Morano from a script by Chris Rossi. Wilde is producing with Matt Tauber and Jennifer Levine will be executive producer. Wilde plays a mom whose son disappears, a jolt that puts her on an unexpected and dangerous path toward acceptance as she seeks out a relationship with a neglected boy and watches it take an unexpected turn. Filming starts in July in New York.
Wilde is coming off the Oscar-nominated Spike Jonze-directed Her, and the Ron Howard-directed Rush. She also starred in Drinking Buddies. Morano makes her directorial debut after serving as cinematographer on the indies Frozen River, Kill Your Darlings and Sundance premieres The Skeleton Twins and War Story, as well as the HBO series Looking. Wilde is repped by WME and Untitled, Morano by Gersh, Rossi by APA and Untitled, and Tauber by ICM.
The first trailer for the upcoming film "Better Living Through Chemistry" has just been released!
Dressing for the Golden Globes this year had one — make that two — very special perks for Olivia Wilde.
"It's great — I've never had boobs before!" the actress, 29, joked to E!'s Ryan Seacrest as he complimented Wilde's emerald sequined Gucci gown, which she paired with an Emm Kuo clutch.
Currently appearing in Her, Wilde revealed the due date of her next big project — her and fiancé Jason Sudeikis's first child.
"May the fourth be with you," she told Seacrest, explaining that's how she remembers it, anyhow.
Olivia Wilde has a great idea on how to give back.
The actress, who is a budding star on screen and now part of one Hollywood's biggest power couples with Jason Sudekis, is aspiring to be something like George Clooney when it comes to philanthropy. The actress recently started a new business, Conscious Commerce, that connects shoppers with companies that donate a portion of their proceeds to charities.
"It should be shocking when a product isn't somehow helping the people who made it," says Wilde.
Olivia Wilde and her partner Barbara Burchfield have already forged a partnership with Anthropologie. giving a portion of all sales from the clothing company to help a girl's school in India.
Wilde and Conscious Commerce are taking a page from microlenders, focusing on small scale charities that work directly with people in need. Much like microlenders give money directly to people in need of projects — like building small businesses in third world countries — Conscious Consumer gives only to smaller charities with low overhead and a direct link to the people they serve.
Olivia sees big potential for the company.
"By incorporating a giving back structure into small purchases, it can make a huge different," says Wilde.
While philanthropy may be her latest venture, Olivia Wilde has plenty on her plate. She has five movies in various stages of production, including an untitled sequel to Tron: Legacy that she's signed on for.
At the same time, Olivia and beau Jason Sudekis are planning a wedding and preparing for the birth of their first child this year.
"They are incredibly happy," a source close to the couple told People magazine. "They're very excited to welcome a new member into their family."
Jason Sudekis and Olivia Wilde hasn't given an indication yet when she is due.
Who says youth is wasted on the young?
Forbes magazine's annual list of "30 Under 30″ showcases 450 movers and shakers across 15 different categories who are putting a new spin on old tricks.
Actress Olivia Wilde, 29, currently pregnant and engaged to the baby's father, ex-'SNL' funnyman Jason Sudeikis, led the Hollywood list.
The brown-haired beauty was lauded for her role in founding Common Causes, which "pairs brands with causes to help corporations become better global citizens," Forbes wrote.
Samuel Goldwyn has snapped up rights to Better Living Through Chemistry, the dark comedy starring Sam Rockwell and helmed by Geoff Moore and David Posamentier. Rockwell plays a small town pharmacist whose quiet life is turned upside down when he embarks on a drug and alcohol-fueled affair with a customer (Olivia Wilde). Michelle Monaghan, Norbert Leo Butz, Ben Schwartz, Ken Howard, Ray Liotta, and Jane Fonda also star in the pic which marks the directorial debuts of Moore and Posamentier, directing from their own script. Samuel Goldwyn is plotting a spring theatrical release and Universal Studios Home Entertainment will handle home entertainment distribution. Universal Pictures International Entertainment will distribute ancillary in the UK, the Benelux, France, Germany, Italy, Scandinavia, South America, and select Eastern European and Asian territories. Better Living Through Chemistry is produced by Felipe Marino and Joe Neurauter. Keith Calder, Anders Erden, Graeme Law, Peter Nichols, David Posamentier, Tim Smith and Paul Brett are executive producers. Paul Davis is co-producer and Richard Naing and Kate Sharp are associate producers on the Occupant Entertainment pic. Will Machin negotiated the deal for Metro International with ICM.
The photo gallery at Olivia Wilde Source has been updated with 885 HQ and MQ images of Olivia Wilde attending various during the month of December.
• Olivia Wilde Source > Public Events > In 2013 > Olivia Wilde Launches New Revlon Age Defying Collection
It has been announced that Olivia Wilde will appear in an episode of the second season of the NBC game show "Hollywood Game Night". The show returns with new episodes on January 20, 2014.
Olivia Wilde knows the secret to full-proof color and velvety smooth lips, Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede lipstick gives you all-day color and instant moisture.
With stories of natural disasters, acts of violence, and political corruption flooding news outlets every day, it's easy to think that society is falling apart. In fact, cultural theorist George Gerbner coined the term "mean world syndrome" to describe the phenomenon of people perceiving the world as more violent and dangerous than it really is because of the news. While many people simply sit back and shake their heads when they read about these events, actress and political activist Olivia Wilde thinks people should be doing something about them.
The 29-year-old "TRON" and "House M.D." star founded RYOT.org to help readers get involved in the news. Wilde, the daughter of two journalists, launched her cutting-edge news outlet with the intention of providing both information on important global stories and causes, and the means to contribute directly to helping them.
"RYOT is a chance for people to read the news and then participate in it, to approach news actively instead of passively," said Wilde in an AOL "Acting Disruptive" video. "We create ways that you can immediately participate in some way to help the situation."
According to the RYOT website's About page, the name RYOT is not an acronym, but comes from the Hindi word for "peasant," an untouchable person without a voice, as well as the Martin Luther King Jr. quote, "A riot is the language of the unheard." The philosophy behind the organization is that anyone can make an impact, no matter who they are, through productive, organized effort rather than succumbing to chaos.
Wilde told AOL host Max Lugavere that RYOT allows readers to understand their responsibility as citizens. An "action" box accompanies each article published on the site, giving anyone the opportunity to make a positive impact on the issue at hand. Some stories link to donation pages, while others allow readers to sign a petition or simply share the article on social media to raise awareness. Wilde believes that this new model of journalism will particularly appeal to millennials.
"I think you see a lot of people of our generation finding interesting ways of approaching the world of philanthropy," she said. "Technology has changed the way we approach entertainment in all ways. It's become much more interactive. It was only a matter of time before the news did the same."

I'll bet you think I want help with my layout, don't you...
...don't you, don't you now?
I do.
I'm not so vain as to think that I'm the layout queen :>P
sooo...would you all take a gander at what I've patched together in paint on top of our antiquated house design software plan?
Salient points:
1. The only window is over the sink as shown in the layout.
2. Main entry is through the kitchen to the rest of the house. We have no "front" door d/t how the house is situated. I say this to head off the "is there room for an island" question, as the floor needs to be open for traffic flow.
3. We want the (south) wall between the kitchen/dining porch open as much as possible as the best view of the river is that way.
Also, after walls went up on the bedroom side of the house (not visible here), I became aware of the need to not 'wall off' these main living areas from each other. AND, after seeing bunches of references to natural light in various GW threads, I realized this kitchen is d.a.r.k. with only a west window/deep roof overhang, so figured opening the wall on the south could only help with the overall light in the place. It's a pretty dark, shady house overall.
4. My concern with this plan is that the fridge is about 10' away from the sink (not that I couldn't use the exercise) but if I pull the wall behind the fridge into the kitchen more, I lose precious cab space by the stove. If I move the fridge to the left of the sink, it seems to bork my prep area/counter space over there, esp since the fridge would be next to a wall (door clearance yada, yada). I thought of putting the fridge to the right of the stove but then I have what? A wall and no storage. And the fridge still 10+'away from the sink.
5. There is a step down into the dining porch of about 6-7" AND the ceiling starts at 7 1/2' and slopes down to 7' at the outside wall. Kitchen ceiling is 9'. This makes opening the whole space into one out of the question, I've been informed and I guess that makes sense.
Does anyone see any possibilities that I don't see?
I suggested to DH that we could run cabs on the south wall instead of the open railing and put the sink there but he nixed that idea. Wants it as open as possible with a rustic-y cedar railing type thing. I could lean on him in that direction but I'm not sure it would gain me a whole lot by introducing another corner in the equation.
Please help.
p.s. to anyone that paid some attention to my prev. layout. Yes, there used to be an entirely different layout UNTIL I got freaky about the dark factor and the closed off factor. That's when the idea of opening the wall up to the porch took shape.
I like it! It's not as functional as your earlier layout, but I would rather have the light...and that view! I think it looks like the kind of kitchen you would find in an older house, so it seems appropriate. Especially with your vintage range :)
You don't have all the dimensions, so I can't tell if this will work, but can you:
- move the arched doorway a hair to the right
- scootch the range in the same direction, but keep it at least a foot from the inside corner so you can put a lazy susan there
- put a CD fridge where the 27" cab is
- possibly shrink the sink just a little bit
- switch the DW to the other side of the sink (optional)
- put a prep sink where you currently have the fridge
Bad walkpaths through main traffic arteries are not just about extra exercise. They're about dropping boiling water on someone's lap and saying "excuse me" fifty times a day.
1. Arched door is framed in already and drywalled/finished on the other side. So, ah.. nope. There is exactly 28 1/2inches to the left of that arch. Is there a CD fridge less than that? I can look. Wouldn't the open door block the doorway though and isn't that bad, too?
2. The 38" range can scootch anywhere at this point.
3. Already own the ungodly expensive, impulse copper sink and 30" is the smallest cab it fits.
4. DW can be switched if that helps the layout.
5. Prep sink where the fridge is? Isn't my kitchen too small to need a prep sink? I suppose I'd have some storage around that, though. I've never had 2 sinks. Not sure I'd know what to do with 2 sinks. Wouldn't that be another version of the walking back and forth to the fridge only from a different orientation? Or what am I obviously missing here? Sorry this layout stuff hurts my brain.
Angie: That's interesting. I've never considered that type of layout. I've always struggled not 'putting my furniture against the walls" so this is completely different to me. Where do the dishes go from the dw, in your thoughts? Like, are you saying no cabs over that sink area which I'm assuming you are? And what is between the fridge and pantry? (which I like, btw)
You are correct that I was envisioning no cabs above the sink, just a counter-height peninsula. I was envisioning uppers on the LR wall, which is where I would put the dishes.
The area between the pantry and fridge is a wonderful, sunlit place to do some food prep. (It is also plunk space for the fridge, of course.) Someone will rightly point out that you kinda need a source of water to do proper prep. You could put a small prep sink in that space, if you wish.
BTW, I believe Marcolo's earlier assertion of a need for a prep sink was more about having access to a sink from the range that does not cross your main-entrance traffic pattern. My design takes care of that, so you could get away with a single sink, but then there is not a sink near that lovely stretch of counter under the window....
If it's just you and DH most of the time...and you're the main cook...I don't think you'll have any problem with your layout.
If you both like to cook together or you entertain frequently, then this layout would be more hazardous. If all else fails, yell PASTA COMING THROUGH, when you carry a boiling pot, from the range to the sink :)
Angie's plan is very nice, too. It just depends on whether you want a more open plan or more of a closed off work area. Both have benefits...it just depends on what you prefer. Angie's is more efficient, but I tend to get a little claustrophoic in small spaces, so I'd rather carry the pasta across the walkway...but either way, you keep your view!
Lav: It will be just 2 of us most of the time and when there's more, there is a lot more so it's a cluster no matter which kitchen I've ever had. I'm hoping people will gravitate to the porch and LR... ha!
Angie: I'm going to play around with your idea if only so I make sure I've left no stone unturned. It does have possibilities, though. I like that people could get to the fridge without getting in my space too much.
Anyone else see anything different in this space?
We went from a square kitchen more like your plan to one with aisles and more cabinets like Angie's plan. I was really nervous I'd find it crowded and obstructed feeling, but in the end the increase in cabinets and counter space was worth it, and it feels fine and much nicer to cook in. However, that's a totally personal decision. One big factor is to look at how much counter space you have now, and compare keeping in mind whether you feel your current kitchen has enough counter space or not. I think the biggest mistake is to assume you'll use the new kitchen in a really different way than the current kitchen (e.g. "I'll just need to keeps the counters cleared off like I've never done before").
If the sink in Angie's plan were a prep sink, then your big sink could go back under the window, the pantry could go away (storage found elsewhere) and that stack could be a dish hutch with DW below.
In any case, there is almost no such thing as a kitchen too small for a prep sink. I've seen tiny galley kitchens that became useful only when a prep sink was added. It's layout that matters, not size.
deedles we also have the plan similar to Angie's plan. I love the sort of horse shoe kitchen It is good to work in. And with just a step or two you could plunk, love that word LOL, on top of DW counter. I have never had a prep sink either and can not envision having to take care of yet one more sink to scrub. Like two in a master bath.
You might be a bit tight with Angie's plan. Our kitchen width is 12'6".
We also have the one blind cabinet in our lay out open like Angie showed and it is great and I would put a false door if possible through that book case into your other blind corner for hidden storage or a safe. Would be a a little unhandy to get into but you do not access a safe all that often.
As I'm playing with this I'm finding it a bit tight what with the 4' minimum inside the U and leaving at least 36", preferably more around it. I know what DH is going to say, too.... *eyeroll*
I have one too dang many doorways...
Seems like there is some possibility to this layout in some form though...I'm liking that fridge removed from the prep/cooking area and as I'm making soup right now I realize that I wouldn't mind my sink and stove being a bit closer together. I get sick of walking back and forth and wouldn't mind 'turning'.
Both layouts would work for me, Deedles. Like Lavender, I like the comfortably open old fashioned layout and it's probably the direction I'd choose. The distance between refrigerator and sink just wouldn't be an issue. My indoor stride is about 2-1/2', a whole 4 steps forward. Plus, I can be very bossy and yell "pasta coming through" in a way no one'd be allowed to ignore, so that wouldn't be a problem unless we had little ones under foot...not infrequently.
I am, however, seriously wondering where I (the main cook) would end up doing most of my prepping, between stove and fridge (so right there!) or by the sink with water and window. I'd want to tack that down and make one spot so nice that it was inevitable, including getting some of the uppers out of my face at that spot. If I chose the sink side, I'd put the DW on the left of the sink and slide the sink over that way as far as I could so I had a really nice work counter on the stove end. Importantly, that would also allow me to stand **farther from the doorway.** As it is, the stove counter's directly behind most of that work area there--the cook'd be interrupted every time someone wanted to come through. Busy cook, multiple cooks, and people needing to go in and out a lot frequently happen together, so that'd be problem to solve definitively before it was created.
If I chose the stove side of the kitchen, no window but the main cooking'd be out of traffic most of the time, and that might be worth anything. I'd get rid of some uppers where I like to stand, of course, and also likely move the hutch elsewhere to make the counter 3-9" longer. Each inch would be valuable.
Angie's plan has the wonderful virtue of totally dedicating a main cooking space out of traffic that would allow me to work facing the river and people. Except that just looking at this one I know I'd put cleanup on the window counter and create a really spacious cooking area out of the cockpit--with prep sink so it was self contained. I don't like cleanup, so I make sure that goes very fast and I wouldn't be standing out there in the walkway for long periods. While I was cooking guests could hang and chat face to face from the outside of the counter. Even if it filled up the space more, this might well be a way to go if I expected to have friends and family in fairly often.
This was fun but frustrating to play with. I have no idea if the ideas here are of any help to you. I tried to come up with a way to eliminate the room sized emptiness in the center. This is the best I could do, and it is only a possibility if the railings can come down and the wall on the left can be shortened.
Interesting that a few measurements and windows and doors can so limit possibilities.
I am curious to see what you will finally come up with.
I'll comment on the recent comments and layout (thank you!) when I get home. In the meantime, I posted this fuzzy drawing that I made quickly while out at the house.
I took the hutch out to make more room as suggested but I have to find a place somewhere in this house for that hutch. It's the ONE heirloom piece of furniture in my family. My beloved Grandma inherited it and now I have it. I'd really be heartbroken to have to give it up for lack of room.
Anyway, on the window wall I put a 9" broom closet (maybe?)and an all fridge-30", that Sidekick that someone on here has and likes. Then on the other end I stuck freezer drawers with a nice chunk of counter and a little prep sink or bar sink maybe?
I don't know if there is enough room in the sink/stove hole for the DWD to slide out and not get in my way at the sink, or maybe it'd be perfect to load as it would slide right up to the sink. Have to check clearances on this.
I turned Angies layout since there is more room in that direction. The sink orientation means I'm still looking out the window...just from 8' away, lol.
Just playing around. DH said, "what'cha doin'?"
"Oh, just fooling around".
In my case I actually changed the shape of the kitchen due to relocating a laundry, so I'm not sure the specifics are helpful. It was more just the feeling of going from an traditional open square kitchen to a design more focused on aisles between counters. I was afraid I'd dislike it, but so far I don't. I felt like the whole central area was kind of wasted in my old kitchen. However, it's quite possible somebody else would feel the new layout too constricting (I actually have to dodge a little around an island to go from the refrigerator to the sink).
Here is a link that might be useful: My kitchen thread
What about something like this?
It still gives you the open feeling in the middle of the room, but you have more prep space (and a sink) by the range :)
Lav: It's just that fridge and big sink on that wall seem to eat up all the countertop. Plus, the fridge needs like, 4" minimum clearance against a fixed wall...
I wish that wall were a little longer cause I'd love to have the fridge to the left of the sink like that. I always seem to want to prep to the left of the sink. I don't know if I can change that habit, can I? I get having a prep sink closer to the stove, but this copper sink is made for prep with the cutting board that sits on the ledge and the drain tray. Not to mention that after what that thing cost, DH will probably throw up if I mention getting another sink, lol.
Bellsmom: I was told that having the whole wall open is a problem with structural stuff. That's why DH wants a rustic railing with upright beams in part of the opening. I can't tell exactly but the island makes the walk around about 30"... seems too close to the step down for safety?
Rosie: Your words are food for thought. I am definitely a sink/window prepper. I tend to live in front of the sink for some reason. Don't really see myself doing too much between the fridge and stove (in the original layout)
And, as I said above, I tend to want to work to the left of the sink. Angie's idea is very appealing though. I like the smaller area to cook in and less walking around. I like the fridge out of the main area, so anyone can get something without, 'excuse me'. The one thing DH does is make adult beverages (killer old fashioneds for those familiar with Wisconsinites) and we're always in each others way when that happens. I thought a bar sink over by the window could double as a kind of prep sink and I'd have mondo storage over there, too. But, it does close up the room somewhat, at least for traffic, but maybe not in a bad way.
Idaho: thanks for the info and I was kinda thinking that empty corner could be a safe cubby or something like that. Keep our Cracken in there, lol.
Marcolo: are you saying to leave the fridge as it is in Angies plan? I'll have to play around with that configuration, too. Thank you...
How about putting the fridge close to the archway for groceries plunking and the DW close to the DR for easier cleanup steps? This still involves a prep sink (be armed with the (*much* lower than your big sink) price) and a lower cab run instead of the left railing discussion with DH. Lots of prep room by the window but also works for cleanup.
I'm not sure if the measurements work in this idea but I tried to get the proportions per your layout at the top of this thread.
I like Angie's layout but with a prep sink under the big window so DH can make fabulous cocktails for you over there, without getting in your way while you are in the peninsula. Having the pantry space, extra cabinets, and extra counters would be great ! And it utilizes the big wasted space in the middle of the kitchen. I don't think 48" between stove and peninsula is too narrow, but rather just right. When you turn the peninsula the other direction, it cuts off that window side of the kitchen from the rest of the space.
I don't think 36" is too narrow for the walkway between the peninsula and the opening going onto the porch/dining area. Hallways are often 36-42" wide and they are closed in with walls. The 36" here will *feel* like more because it will be open view.
On Angie's plan, I would also suggest to have a more narrow cabinet for trash where the dishwasher currently is, scoot the sink to the left next to the trash cabinet, then put the DW on the right side of the sink, with a very narrow cabinet next to the DW if there is enough space (to store cookie sheets and other vertical stuff). This would get the DW closer to the wall cabinets on the LR wall where most likely you will store all of your dishes ... easier for unloading dishes with the DW close to where the stuff goes. Also, an open DW door wouldn't be blocking the access into the peninsula area.
This kitchen would be very effiicient to work in with just one person. But also I can see 4-5 people working together easily ... 1-2 at prep sink under window, 1 at stove, 1 at main sink, 1-2 at counter on the LR wall. Clearing dishes from the dining table would be super easy right onto the peninsula, then into the dishwasher they go.
What do you have planned for corner next to desk on the porch/dining ? Could the antique hutch go there ?
OOOoooooh! I'm pretty excited... okay I'm SUPER excited!!
I broached the whole different layout idea to DH giving full credit to the GW gang and he like, right way, saw the sense in it and he likes it and even improved upon it so the hutch can fit! And the prep sink!
I am SO glad I put it out there and I am so thankful for everyone that took the time to comment and offer thoughts. I've read over and over everyone's ideas and comments and rationale and tried to 'see' what was being explained to me and it seems there was a piece or part from everyone that made sense to the whole idea, if that makes sense to you all. Thank you all, I truly mean it. It's just a kitchen I know, but it is FINALLY starting to feel like this kitchen (and house) is going to be fun to live in and that what we're going to do with it makes sense. And today that makes me feel kinda happy.
Okay, so I'm going to draw this out and then I'll post it.
Should I start a different thread with the new layout or just keep going on this one?
!!! :)
Deedles- I saw your new thread and I thought I'd just post this idea over here, instead. You had said you did not like the fridge crowding the window...so I thought I'd try this idea, too. If you don't like it, just disregard :)
Oh, and that funny thing by the desk is supposed to be a big plant! LOL
Lav: I had messed around with that layout too, but what I end up doing is walking, walking, walking, which I'm real sick of. I'd end up prepping to the left of the big sink and then I'd be back to the traffic path in my area. I'm really liking this little cooking 'cockpit' U shaped thing more and more. I do like your plant, tho :P
I *always* vote for continuing the thread where you started it rather than starting a new one.
Mostly because I am old-school on this forum, from back when a thread used to drop off the last page and *poof* it was gone forever. Even if you had the link you could not see the old thread, it was deleted from the server. Plus, this forum moves so fast and threads drop off the last page soooo fast. Even now you can only access the old threads if you have the link, so that resource is no longer available to anyone new. Plus, I think it is better to continue the thought process in one thread.
Can't wait to see your plans !

filling before staining?
I read somewhere and now can't find the thread that you should use conditioner and filler before staining. What exactly is filler? Were they talking about filling holes or something else?
Paste wood filler is used to fill up the pores is in open pored woods like oak to obtain a smooth finish.
If you want a smooth finish on an open pored wood you can use paste filler, French polish (the pumice used as part of the first coats fills the pores), or apply many coats of finish and cut them back until smooth.
Filler is silica (powdered quartz) in a binder. It is thinned with naphtha to about heavy cream consistency and then painted on the wood. As soon as the filer switches from glossy to dull the excess is removed. I use plastic auto body scrapers (perpendicular to the grain) and then switch to burlap. A very light sanding gets the surface ready for the next finish coat.
Behlans still makes paste filler, and it can be tinted to create different finishing effects.
You also want to consider the material you are working with as to whether you need a pre-conditioner or not. For example, I used a birch plywood. Birch has a very tight grain, and using a conditioner will not allow a water based stain to penetrate very well. I think that is one situation in which you would not want to use a conditioner first. For wood with a less tight grain, a conditioner may allow the wood to take a stain more evenly.
Sorry to resurrect this old thread but it was one of the closest to what I needed to ask, when I searched the forum for 'finishing red oak.' I have two unfinished red oak nightstands made in a woodworking class. Though they have some beginner boo-boos in the things like dovetail joints, they are overall well made and solid, and I'd like to either use them or give them as a gift, but only if finished. Would a 'sanding sealer' be an acceptable product to fill the pores or do I need to get the silica type filler brickeye mentioned? Any tips on things like doing this in certain type weather, like avoiding heat or cold or humidity? I tried to find a link to Synseal by Dunn Edwards but all I got was the hazardous material info. A less toxic product would be preferable. Thanks in advance.
It is very difficult to fill the grain of oak and get a smooth surface. Best idea is to just stain and use a water based varnish.
"It is very difficult to fill the grain of oak and get a smooth surface. Best idea is to just stain and use a water based varnish."
It is done all the time with paste filler.
Look up pore-o-pak.
You will never get a smooth finish on oak without paste wood filler.
It is one of the reasons so much oak furniture looks cheap, with the pores of the grain still visible in the finish as shallow depressions, especially were a pore has been cut at a shallow angle to the surface of the wood.
Paste wood filler can be applied before or after color, and can be the same color as the wood or contrast depending on the final effect desired.
Ok, point conceeded.
I usually use a wood with a grain applicable to the desired finish---and see no reason to use oak/ash when a smooth surface is desired.
I had not heard of that product---and have not seen it on a woodworking website with over 30,000 members. Was shocked Woodcraft carries it---I spend a lot of finishing money there.
Learned something today. Thanks.
Well, I asked on the other forum. Most pro's prefer Constantines Paste Wood Filler over Pore-o-pack. Have yet to hear from hobbiests.
They also say neither is a good DIY product as they need to be applied (sometimes several coats) sealed with a shellac or similar sealer, and then finished. Seems to be a very involved process.
I did my white oak kit cabs with pore-o-pac. It's an ordeal. It lessens by 60% the absorption of stain. If you wanted to, you could stain first, then fill, with the filler tinted to match (or compliment) the stain, then maybe a final toning with stain to redo areas where the stain was worn off; the filler is fine-ground silica, and somewhat abrasive.
For me, filled oak is the cat's whiskers. And there's no annoying wild-a$$ oak stain/grain to look at, the finish is very uniform.
Thanks for the info, I'll look for those two products and see what I want to do. Yes, I agree, oak that has visible 3-D pores in the finish looks cheaply done. I have an old white oak twin bed frame and headboard that my dad made in the 1950s that is smooth as a baby's behind. But he passed away some time ago so he's not around to ask how he did it, or if it was really porous before he finished it! Heck even the slats that hold the box springs up are high quality.
A single application of pore-o-pac is all that is needed.
It is to thick out of the can to apply, but can be thinned with naphtha to the consistency of heavy cream.
Paint it on heavy, and wait for the wet gloss to flash off.
I often use plastic scrappers for auto body work to remove the excess on the first pass.
You remove it across the grain, then smooth it with the grain to make sure everything is filled, then across the grain with burlap.
Shellac may be needed as a sealer depending on the effect desired and any tinting added to the filler.
It does add another step to finishing, but you can choose to emphasize or de-emphasize the pores depending on the color chosen for the stain and filler.
I have about 8 feet of shelf space filled with finishing books, and another 3 feet of notebooks with data on materials and finishes I have used over the years.
I want to maintain the orginal dark stain of the trim in this house. It has a lot of paint slopped on the sides but the faces are in pretty good shape. Firstly, I want to carefully remove the paint and secondly, restain these areas. Also, replaced a built-in with an archway with pilars and header. The wood used for this trim was the original header face, new hemlock casement and stripped original fir for the pilars. I need a stain formula which will bring the newer wood to match the original wood in the room and the header. Any ideas out there?

My fiance and I have loved everything from magnet street!
Excellent all around
My fiancé and I were set on darker green for our invitations, but it was so hard to find anything other than kelly or lime. This site has the best color selection and lets you see exactly what it'll look like right away! On top of that, the personalization was easy, the ordering painless, and the delivery prompt. I'm now going to buy a hundred or so thank-you cards and ceremony programs without any worries.
I am so pleased with my invitations. Exactly what I wanted and more!!
Perfect Invitations
This design was exactly what we were looking for! We played around a lot with the colors and the font, and ended up with the perfect design. The sample that we ordered was very true to what we designed online, but I am still very glad we were able to see it in person before making the final decision. We even did a design request, and the turn around with proofs was very quick. Definitely recommend these, can't wait to send them out!!
Beautiful Card
Definitely finding the perfect invitation for your wedding is difficult. And finding a website like Magnet definitely eases the stress. The moment I received my save the dates from Magnet I knew I had to get my invitation from them too. Very easy to work with. Quality of the paper and printing is fabulous. Extremely easy to match the colors of my wedding to the colors of the invitations.

Do you have to connect both anode pins? I am trying to put together a circuit board layout that holds 5 of these. Based on the datasheet diagram it looks like one could connect either anode pin and it should work.

Final Score: Vancouver 3, Edmonton 0
Vancouver, BC (Sports Network) - Johan Hedberg stopped 14 shots for the shutout while Matt Cooke scored a pair of goals and added an assist, as the Vancouver Canucks blanked the Edmonton Oilers, 3-0, at GM Place.
Jiri Slegr also scored for the Canucks, who are off to a 2-0 start for the second year in a row.
Edmonton (1-1) hasn't won its first two games of a season since winning three straight to start the 1996-97 campaign.
Hedberg, making his debut for the Canucks, stopped four shots in the first period, six in the second and four in the third en route to his eighth career shutout. He became the first goaltender to post a shutout in his Vancouver debut since Mike Fountain turned the trick against New Jersey on November 14, 1996.
Cooke tallied both of his goals in the first period, giving the Canucks an early 2-0 lead. Just 1:41 into the contest, Cooke took a feed from Mattias Ohlund and beat Edmonton goaltender Tommy Salo with a high shot from the slot.
Cooke's second goal came on a one-handed deflection of Ed Jovanovski's shot from the top of the right circle at the 8:40 mark of the opening frame.
Slegr put Vancouver up 3-0 with a shorthanded goal at 13:44 of the second period. Cooke carried the puck along the left boards into the Edmonton zone and zipped a cross-ice pass over to a cutting Mike Keane in the right circle. Keane then quickly sent the puck into the low slot for Slegr, who beat Salo for his first goal since February 7, 2002.
The Oilers' best chance at reaching the scoreboard came with about 6 1/2 minutes left, when Hedberg made a shoulder save on Jason Smith's one-timer from the slot.
Salo finished with 19 saves in the loss.
Game Notes
Cooke tied a career-high for points in a game, as he last tallied three points (2 goals, 1 assist) March 3, 2003, versus Boston...Vancouver's last shutout against Edmonton was recorded by Kirk McLean on October 13, 1997...The Canucks are 5-0-1 in their last six meetings with the Oilers...Vancouver went 0-for-8 on the power play, while Edmonton was 0-for-9.

Being an Executive Edition member allows me to not miss a beat when it comes to the Industry business news. Definitely keeps me in the loop plus goes great with my morning joe.- By Tony Perez, Surfer and Surfing magazines
I read Shop-Eat-Surf at every opportunity, and I waited too long to sign up for the Executive Edition. It's timely, relevant and clearly "from the industry, for the industry.- By Andy Laats, President, Nixon
MOSS ADAMS CAPITAL: Apparel and foowear market monitor highlights notable deals, stock prices and results.

Press Release:
Retailers Lead Economic Charge with 10 Straight Months of Sales Gains, According to NRF
-Higher Commodity Prices Impacting Consumer Spending-
Washington, May 12, 2011 – Retail sales increased for the tenth straight month in April, further evidence that the retail sector and consumer spending continue to lead the economic recovery. According to the National Retail Federation, retail industry sales (which exclude automobiles, gas stations, and restaurants) for April increased 0.2 percent seasonally adjusted from March and 4.0 percent unadjusted year-over-year, a positive but modest increase compared to previous months' results, evidence that some consumers are beginning to feel the strain of high food and gas costs.
"With ten consecutive months of growth, retailers are on the front lines of economic recovery, though higher commodity prices are beginning to weigh on some consumers," said NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay.
"For the retail industry to continue to lead the charge, Congress must address the legislative uncertainty from issues like credit card company "swipe" fees, uncompetitive tax laws, and the new health care law."
"Positive economic indicators such as increases in job openings and wage growth are certainly helping boost consumers' confidence, and support spending," said NRF Chief Economist Jack Kleinhenz.
"While there are reasons to be optimistic, plenty of other concerns exist which could very easily shift consumers' spending habits, including decreasing home prices, high unemployment levels and rising costs at the pump."
April retail sales released today by the U.S. Commerce Department show total retail sales (which include non-general merchandise categories such as autos, gasoline stations and restaurants) increased 0.5 percent seasonally adjusted over March and 7.8 percent unadjusted year-over-year. Specific results include:
The Easter holiday helped boost apparel sales last month with clothing and clothing accessory stores seeing gains of 0.3 percent seasonally adjusted over the previous month and 8.6 percent unadjusted year-over-year.
Sales at electronic and appliance stores decreased 2.2 percent seasonally adjusted month-to-month but increased 1.0 percent unadjusted from last year. Home furnishing and building material stores felt the pinch last month, both seeing only slight or no gains.
Sales at furniture stores decreased 1.1 percent seasonally adjusted over March and increased 1.0 percent unadjusted year-over-year. Building material and garden equipment stores sales increased 0.1 percent seasonally adjusted month-to-month but decreased 5.6 percent unadjusted over April of last year.
Health and personal care stores, oftentimes proving resilient against frugal consumers, also saw decreases last month. Sales at these stores decreased 0.3 percent seasonally adjusted over March but increased 4.6 percent unadjusted year-over-year.
As the world's largest retail trade association, NRF has the unique ability to represent the full breadth and scope of the retail industry. NRF's global membership includes retailers of all sizes, formats and channels of distribution including department stores, discount retailers, grocers, chain restaurants and drug stores.
Membership also includes industry partners from the United States and more than 45 countries abroad. In the United States, NRF represents the breadth and diversity of an industry with more than 1.6 million American companies that employ nearly 25 million workers and generated 2010 sales of $2.4 trillion. www.nrf.com

In January of 2008, Mr. Banks received a box of 25 vials of Baxter Heparin from Fresenius Medical Care for use during home dialysis treatments. Banks used the product as prescribed but began experiencing numerous physical symptoms, such as wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, dizziness, increased perspiration and sudden weakness. Today, Mr. Banks continues to suffer as a result of his Heparin use.
The suit falls on the heels of a recent finding by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) identifying an unknown contaminant found in the Baxter Heparin. In early April of 2008, researchers confirmed the FDA's suspicion that the contaminant found in the Heparin is Oversulfated Chondroitin Sulfate (OSCS), a derivative of a popular supplement used to relieve arthritis, and a chemical which does not occur naturally during Heparin production.
Raw Heparin is derived from pig intestines and is often processed by small, unregistered "mom-and-pop" workshops in China. The key to establishing causation in this case, despite all of the issues with unsanitary conditions, etc., will be Baxter's failure to perform a chemical test on the Heparin which would have been sensitive enough to identify the difference between Heparin and OSCS. The abhorrent conditions in China from where Heparin was being imported (and the fact that the FDA was not doing significant inspections) required the need for more sensitive testing.
According to the FDA inspection, the Changzhou SPL Facility was unable
to provide FDA with any assurance "that processing steps used to
manufacture heparin sodium, USP are capable of effectively removing
impurities." FDA also found that the facility failed "to have adequate
systems for evaluating the suppliers of crude heparin materials, or the
crude materials t

A Moon Base Made From Lunar Dust 115
from the using-what-you-got 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).
Why worry about the moonbase construction material when you can't even land on the moon?
First things first.
I once watched a video from an "artist" who has built a kind of 3D plotter using a fresnel lense to melt sand. When I saw that I immediately thought: that is how you built on the moon.
Perhaps someone knows that video and can link it?
All we need to do is get the inflatable protective air-tight internal structures on the moon
Would give a whole new meaning to not running with scissors.
Nobody's gonna believe that computers are intelligent until they start coming in late and lying about it.

Opinions on this compost soil report
I am interested in using this as a top dressing. It is $18/yard +delivery. Anyone have an opinion?
Why do you wan to do that? Are you having problems with your lawn?
Where do you live?
What is your watering schedule (frequency and duration)?
What kind of grass do you have?
How high/low do you mow it?
When were the last two times you fertilized and what did you use?
I want to add some organic matter to my soil. I want to keep my lawn moist between waterings. The problem is that my lawn is a hideous mess of weeds and mystery grass that I plan on nuking and restarting.
I live in Concord, NC
Right now I have no watering schedule because mother nature has had an overzealous watering schedule. Otherwise it would be an inch a week all at once. After planting it will be 1/4" three times a day until I feel like I can back off.
I will be planting tall turf type fescue.
I always mow at the highest setting. I believe the highest that my mower can do is 3.5"
I have only fertilized once (I have been at my new home since April) with about 5 lbs/1000 sq ft of rabbit food two weeks ago. I plan on using some starter fertilizer and another 15 lbs/1000 sq ft of rabbit food.
I have no idea what I'm doing since this is my first lawn and I am going on others' advice. Feel free to be critical of my current plans.

Everytime I try killing belial I get stupid lag when I'm invisible he still kills me somehow and all his stupid monster, blizzard need to get servers here because at the moment ping is so stupid it's not even !@#$ing funny, %^-* you blizzard
Posts: 73View profile
took me 50 deaths to get him the first time.. 3sec delay on movement made it hard to avoid the poison, but with practice and lots of deaths, i managed to pick out a place to stand. and miraculously i killed him..
keep trying. you'll get there.
Posts: 325View profile
Try on hardcore. This is a pathetic joke the way we lose toons to lag and latency. I"m not on the poison so I shouldn't get hit... no wait... i'm in australia.... I"ll get hit regardless. Kiting classes are frustrating to the point of unplayable in this abortion of a game when we are expected to connect to servers 1000's of miles away.
Way to spit on the face of australian and New Zealand gamers blizzard.
Took me about 10 attemps to get Belial down in Inferno on my Barbarian. (250 - 300ms lag on my Internode connection)
I thought i was failing on the poison untill i realised that he was enraging at 3minutes and yeah, at that point the pools explode before we see them on our screens (before he enrages the pools appear early enough to avoid)
So i switched to dual wielding for the additional DPS and just burnt him down quicker...
Apparently its possible to survive his enrage, but you'd have to have a decent ping to do that... for us in australia enrage = death at the moment becuase the pools deal damage before we see them on the screen...

Although I'm haven't done Belial on Inferno yet, on all other difficulties I have had no issues. My ping appears to be between 200-300, full green bars. Melbourne metro on TPG.
I have rarely had any issues at all other than once in a while (like once a week) I get a few seconds when it goes 1000+ but returns quickly, assume this is server side as my connection seems to be consistently fine (thanks TPG).
I guess this would be enough for a quick death though! So I feel for HC players in these instances.
Non HC players who have regular lag I would perhaps be blaming your ISP instead, as it just doesn't happen to all of us..
I must be the only one who doesn't have issues with the poison pools, I swear I have never died to them.
Other things yes but moving away from them is so simple to me, truly shows different things effect different people.
I must be the only one who doesn't have issues with the poison pools, I swear I have never died to them.
The "normal" poison pools are ok... in inferno i can do the entire belial fight at 100% HP (due to LoH)
But if he enrages, even with my decent 250-300ms ping, I die ... then a pool appears below me.
So yes, you are right... avoiding the pools is easy... but if you dont have the DPS to kill him before the 3min enrage, its really not worth trying.
Lucky for me, when i dual wield axes on my barb, i can do phase 3 in about 2m50s but with an axe + shield its more like 3m10s (if i could last the extra 10 seconds that is)
Eh I was talking Inferno too, I just never have a problem with the pools, but I've never hit the enrage either so yeah.
As I said different things hit different people, his slams can screw me cause I don't have a quick move ability in my build, so if I'm not quick enough I'm screwed.
I do mostly get reported things where they should be - 190ms ping. Horrible rubber banding in collision situations though, and desecration burns for ages after I've moved.
Obviously I still get less time to react than an american. Since blizzard chose to rob me of 15% attack speed, I am now 300 dex and 7% attack speed away from beating it though.
Yep.. i know.. by "normal" i ment before the enrage
In inferno before he enrages, there is plently of room and plently of time to avoid the pools, heck you can even stand in them for a second... then move to another one before the first one explodes
once he enrages tho more pools appear, more frequently and they explode quicker and because we can't see them in time, they kill us.
It be interesting to see if how you went if you dpsed him to say 25% and then waited for him to enrage and see if you could survive it... i think the enrage is something like 10 seconds of double the amount of pools. Tho doing it would probably cost about 10k in repairs, so probably not worth testing
Edited by Thorlek#1162 on 6/25/2012 6:20 PM PDT
I'm really tempted to try it just to see the enrage, prob something I'll do sometime when bored.
its 3min total for his enrage right? or is it based off phases?

edit - i see your still yet to get over it..!
Edited by AnonymousOne#6219 on 6/25/2012 11:03 PM PDT
Its 3 minutes, then he enrages. If you survive the first enraged pools, which I did by good dodging, serenity and seven strikes, then he puts his arms straight back down again and does it again, at which point you will die, because your cooldowns will be burned.
i'M DESINSTALLING EVERYTHING. I HATE THOSE STUPID GAMES WHERE THE ISSUE IS IMPOSSIBLE.

I play usually with a 450 ping on wireless as thats the best i can hope to get where i live in Australia for probably the next 20+ years unless i move house.
edit: my bad was talking about inferno also but as i said at the end of this post if you cant beat him no matter how hard you try add me as a friend and i would be happy to join your game and 1 hit kill him for you so you may continue to enjoy act 3 :)
I'm at the end game now and with nothing to do so if you would like help add me and ask :)

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — When the champagne stopped flowing in the visitor's clubhouse, the Boston Red Sox took the celebration back out to the stands at Tropicana Field so that family and friends could share some of the fun.
A year after finishing in last place, the AL East champion Red Sox won 97 games to match St. Louis for the best record in baseball. Now, they're moving on to the AL championship series for the first time in five years.
"I think at this point it really doesn't do any good to kind of look at where we were," reliever Craig Breslow said after coming out of the bullpen to give the team a huge boost in a 3-1 victory that ended Tampa Bay's season.
"We had guys come to spring training, everybody bought in," Breslow added, explaining Boston's quick turnaround after going 69-93 last year. "There's accountability and 25 guys who prioritize winning baseball games beyond any kind of individual achievement or accolade."
The resilient Rays won four win-or-go-home games over the previous nine, but couldn't win another to send the best-of-five matchup back to Fenway Park for a decisive Game 5.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Peyton Manning had to make sure Tony Romo wasn't the last man with the ball in his hands.
The Denver quarterback did it by keeping the Broncos out of the end zone in the final moments of the second-highest scoring game since the NFL-AFL merger.
Manning maintained his record pace for touchdown passes, then milked the clock for a game-ending field goal after an interception by Romo spoiled the first 500-yard game in Dallas history, and the Broncos stayed unbeaten with a 51-48 victory Sunday.
Matt Prater's 28-yard kick for the Broncos' 16th straight regular-season win came after linebacker Danny Trevathan's diving interception at the Dallas 24 with Romo trying to direct a third go-ahead score in the fourth quarter.
"We had the huge defensive play at the end, which was significant," said Manning, who threw four touchdowns to give him a record-setting 20 in the first five games. "And we did not want to give them the ball back."
Needing a first down but not a touchdown so the Broncos (5-0) could run out the clock, Manning and Knowshon Moreno shouted at each other in the backfield just before the snap.

CLEVELAND (AP) — They shut off the lights, cranked up the music and turned their clubhouse into a nightclub.
As Pitbull's "Don't Stop The Party" boomed off walls covered by plastic sheets, the Tampa Bay Rays sprayed each other with Silly String and emptied bottles of champagne as quickly as they could open them.
This road trip isn't ending anytime soon.
"Nobody wants to go home," pitcher Alex Cobb said.
Next stop: Boston.
Dodging trouble for nearly seven innings, Cobb and the Rays pitched their way to another must-have win on the road, beating the Cleveland Indians 4-0 Wednesday night in the AL wild-card game.
Cobb, who missed a chunk of the regular season after he was hit in the head by a line drive, quieted a thundering Cleveland crowd and ended the Indians' unexpected season just one game into October.
Delmon Young homered in the third inning off rookie Danny Salazar as the Rays, playing in their third city over four days, advanced to face the AL East champion Red Sox in the best-of-five division series starting Friday.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Army, Navy and Air Force might be forced to skip their football games next weekend because of the partial government shutdown.
The Defense Department temporarily suspended sports competition at the service academies Tuesday as a result of the budget impasse in Congress.
A Pentagon spokesman, Army Col. Steve Warren, said the decision was being reviewed by lawyers considering a series of legal questions, including whether money that comes from sources other than Congress could be used to pay for sports during the government shutdown.
Meantime, the suspension put a pair of college football games in jeopardy: Army at Boston College, and Air Force at Navy.
During a six-day government shutdown in November 1995, Army, Navy and Air Force played football games — all at home.
The U.S. Naval Academy said in a statement that a decision will be made by noon Thursday about whether the Midshipmen will play the Air Force. Navy's football team did practice Tuesday.
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Andrew McCutchen was in mid-answer when teammate A.J. Burnett stuck a bottle of champagne inside the jersey of the star Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder and turned it upside down.
"Feels good," McCutchen said with a laugh as the bottle emptied, further drenching his already soaked uniform. "I could get used to this."
So could the city he plays in.
After an absence of two decades, playoff baseball is back in Pittsburgh. And it's not going anywhere for a while.
The Pirates are heading to St. Louis for the NL division series after drumming the Cincinnati Reds 6-2 in the NL wild-card game on Tuesday night, nine innings of dominance that also served as a coming out party for a franchise eager to escape a generation of misery.
"There are mile markers along the road to get to the place you want to get to," manager Clint Hurdle said. "There's nobody in there that doesn't want to win the World Championship for the Pirates organization."
Pittsburgh is one step closer after dispatching the Reds. The NL Central champion Cardinals await. A.J. Burnett will start for the Pirates against St. Louis ace Adam Wainwright in Game 1 on Thursday.
ARLINGTON, Texas — For Evan Longoria and the Tampa Bay Rays, this was a fitting way to get back into the playoffs.
They earned their postseason berth in the final game of the regular season for the second time in three years, needing an extra game to do so this time.
And their 5-2 victory in the AL wild-card tiebreaker Monday night came against the Texas Rangers, the team that knocked the Rays out the playoffs their last two trips.
"It feels really good to be able to leave here celebrating instead of with our heads down," said Longoria, who had a two-run homer Monday.
"It sure feels good to get them after so many times they've knocked us out," Ben Zobrist said.
David Price (10-8), the reigning AL Cy Young winner, threw his fourth complete game this season. He struck out four and walked one, and even picked off two runners while allowing seven hits, striking out four and walking one. He threw 81 of 118 pitches for strikes.
The Rays face another must-win situation Wednesday night at Cleveland in the AL wild-card game, Tampa's third game in three cities in a four-day stretch.
The winner faces Boston in the division series.
NEW YORK (AP) — The end came quietly for this year's New York Yankees. No celebrations. No titles. No October baseball.
Curtis Granderson was batting in the eighth inning Wednesday night when the Cleveland Indians completed a 7-2 win over the Chicago White Sox. And with that, the Yankees were mathematically eliminated from postseason contention in the middle of the season's final week, even before they finished an 8-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.
New York failed to make the postseason for the first time since 2008 and for only the second time in 19 years. Mariano Rivera will be in the bullpen Thursday night for his final game at Yankee Stadium — he'll be there in a regular season game with nothing at stake for New York, rather than on the postseason stage where he solidified his credentials as the greatest relief pitcher ever.
"I'll be there for the fans. They deserve it," Rivera said. "But it don't mean anything. I'm not used to pitching for something that doesn't mean anything. I wanted to pitch for something that means something."
Evan Longoria homered twice as the Rays won their sixth straight and lowered their magic number to 3 for clinching an AL wild-card berth.
CHICAGO (AP) — The long wait is over, Pittsburgh. Your Pirates are finally headed back to the postseason.
After a 21-year absence, the Pirates clinched at least a National League wild card Monday night when they beat the Chicago Cubs 2-1 and the Washington Nationals lost to St. Louis.
Now, they can turn their attention toward bigger goals, the kind that seemed like nothing more than a pipe dream through all those losing seasons.
"Even though I didn't lose for the last 20 years, they make you feel like you are. You feel like you lost those 20 years," Andrew McCutchen said. "That's all you hear. You hear it every single day — 'When's it going to change? You think this is the year?' You get sick and tired of hearing that. It's awesome that there won't be any questions anymore. The question is, 'Are we going to be able to go farther?'"
It will be Pittsburgh's first trip to the postseason since Barry Bonds, Jim Leyland and Co. won three straight NL East titles from 1990-92. Bonds then left for San Francisco as a free agent, and the small-budget Pirates piled up 20 consecutive losing records — the longest streak in the four major professional sports.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — This was one time Andy Reid didn't mind being a big target.
The man in the bull's-eye so often when he coached in Philadelphia was easy for Chiefs receiver Donnie Avery to find.
At the end of Kansas City's 26-16 victory over the Eagles in Reid's homecoming Thursday night, Avery gave Reid a Gatorade shower.
Reid already looked strange decked in all red on the visitors' sideline.
"Yeah, it was different," Reid said. "I was on the opposite side of the field than I normally am at. But I can't tell you that I was caught up in that part of it."
The result was similar to what he gave Philadelphia in his 14 years in charge of the Eagles, thanks to a dynamic Chiefs defense that forced five turnovers and sacked a harried Michael Vick five times. Vick even limped off after a late fumble — he said his ankle got rolled, but he was fine — but stayed around to hug Reid following the final play.
"It was great to see the players that are here," Reid admitted. "I had a chance to talk to them after the game."

IN THE DEAD of night, a cloaked figure drags a heavy box through snowcovered streets. The chest can only be opened when the fangs of its serpent's-head clasp taste blood.
Centuries later, in an Oxford library, a boy touches a strange book and feels something pierce his finger. The volume is wordless, but fine veins run through its pages, and they seem to quiver, as if alive. Words begin to appear in the book—words only the boy can see.
Matthew Skelton was born in England and grew up in Canada. He has a Ph.D. in English Literature from Oxford University. Endymion Spring is his first novel.
"Wonderfully engaging, even addictive."—Kirkus Reviews, Starred
"Riddles galore, [and] a great cliffhanger should generate plenty of excitement for this literary thriller."—Publishers Weekly, Starred
