Cardinals' Lynn seeking NL-leading 11th victory
Seeking split of two-game series, Astros hand ball to Bedard
When Lance Lynn picked up his 10th win last week, he became the third National League pitcher to reach the mark, but he was mostly concerned with the in-house competition.
"Tied Adam [Wainwright]," Lynn said after the game. "Everyone has a friendly competition, and I definitely have one with him, and it's good to be tied with him."
Wainwright picked up a loss against the Rangers on Sunday, remaining in a three-way tie with Lynn and Washington's Jordan Zimmermann. Despite playing in the shadow of St. Louis' ace and falling below the radar with the hype surrounding the Cardinals' rookie pitchers, Lynn has an opportunity to pass Wainwright and become the NL's first 11-game winner Wednesday against the Astros. Zimmermann also starts Wednesday, facing the D-backs.
"He's one of the guys that doesn't get the attention that some of the others are getting and I think he's fine with that," said manager Mike Matheny. "Or maybe I'm fine with that. Everybody wants to be recognized for what you're doing. He's done a great job. He's a workhorse. We'd love to continue to watch him improve and grow as a pitcher, and I think there's better things ahead for him than what we've even seen so far."
The Astros will send left-hander Erik Bedard to the mound opposite Lynn. He is 2-3 with a 4.43 ERA in 15 games and is coming off an excellent one-run, four-hit start against the Brewers.
Bedard has held opponents to two or fewer runs in seven of his last eight starts since returning to the rotation in early May, and the Cardinals have struggled against left-handers. Entering Tuesday night's game, St. Louis was batting .232 vs. lefties as opposed to .288 vs. righties and suffered back-to-back losses at the hands of Rangers left-handers Derek Holland and Martin Perez last weekend.
The Cardinals dominated the Astros on Tuesday with a 13-5 victory, and Houston has now lost three of its last five.
"We're at a point in our schedule we're looking to win every series in which we play," said manager Bo Porter. "And it just so happens the Cardinals are on our schedule and we're looking forward to the challenge."
Cardinals: Holliday moves down in the lineup as DH
• Matt Holliday, who has struggled to get into a rhythm at the plate, was the designated hitter Tuesday and was moved down to the five hole.
Holliday is hitting .267, down from his .310 career average.
"I'm trying to get him going more than anything," Matheny said. "I know he belongs in that three spot, but I've said before, we have five guys who could hit there. I had a conversation with him and he feels good, about it. I'm trying to get it going in a positive direction. It's just making some changes to see if we can jump-start him."
Holliday had hit from the third spot in 304 of his 305 at-bats this season. He was 1-for-4 in the fifth hole Tuesday, with one run, one walk and a strikeout.
"I made sure he knew how I was thinking," Matheny said. "We talked, and he's a smart baseball guy and he gets it. Matt's all about this team. As a manager, it's my responsibility to put guys in a good position."
Astros: Wallace back in lineup
• Brett Wallace went 1-for-4 with a two-run triple and scored a run Tuesday in his first game back from a stint in Triple-A. Wallace was sent down after he opened the season in a 1-for-24 slump that included 17 strikeouts.
"It's good to get Brett back," Porter said. "He went to Triple-A and did everything we asked him to do. He swung the bat well down there, played first and third. He was on the Opening Day roster and was one of our starters and had a setback, but at the same time, he's earned the right to have this opportunity."
Wallace said he made a few minor adjustments to his swing in the Minors and used the time to regain confidence and get into a rhythm at the plate.
"Hitting's crazy in that sense," Wallace said. "You can lose your rhythm pretty quickly, but you can also gain it back quite quickly. Once I got down there and started doing my work, I feel like I got my rhythm back quickly and from there, just tried to work hard every day."
Worth noting
• St. Louis' Allen Craig drove in three runs Tuesday, bringing his June RBI total to 24, improving on his career-best monthly RBI total.
• Houston right fielder Justin Maxwell exited Tuesday's game with a mild concussion after hitting his head on the ground while diving for a ball.

Injury-plagued Rockies march on, host Pirates
After ending seven-game skid, Colorado meets NL Central contenders
The Rockies are well aware of what they don't have right now.
RBI machine Justin Morneau went on the disabled list Monday with a neck strain. Four-time All-Star Troy Tulowitzki joined him there Tuesday with a hip flexor strain. Michael Cuddyer has been there for more than a month and a half with a fractured left shoulder.
The Rockies desperately need to capitalize on their offensive opportunities now that some of their superstars are injured. They hope snapping a seven-game losing streak in the finale against the Nationals on Wednesday is a step in the right direction.
After an off-day Thursday, they'll host the Pirates in a three-game series beginning Friday -- the same team that swept the Rockies just one week ago.
Brett Anderson will face the Pirates again, his last start being a 3-2 loss Saturday in Pittsburgh, where he racked up eight strikeouts and scattered just four hits in seven innings for a no-decision.
"I just executed pitches better and was more efficient," Anderson said Saturday. "I think I threw more pitches [110] than I have in two-plus years. But I feel like I battled well and gave us a chance."
Charlie Morton will get the ball for the Pirates. With his dominant sinker, he's not concerned about giving up home runs in Coors Field. He's 1-0 in Colorado and has seven ultra-quality starts to his name. He is 5-9 on the season with a 3.28 ERA, but is winless in his last three starts.
The Pirates have won five of their six games since the All-Star break, including a 6-1 win against the Dodgers on Wednesday.
Rockies: Gonzalez given two days off to regroup
Right fielder Carlos Gonzalez's patience has been tested on a daily basis since returning from finger surgery July 11.
On Tuesday night in a 7-4 loss to the Nationals, his frustration boiled over, prompting Rockies manager Walt Weiss to give Gonzalez Wednesday off in addition to the team's off-day on Thursday.
The two-time All Star is just 7-for-32 since his finger surgery, with 14 strikeouts, in eight games. Tuesday night, he slammed his bat down in frustration after another strikeout.
"He's healthy and fresh and everything, so that's not a big deal," Weiss said. "But I just see the wheels churning and the smoke coming out of his ears trying to get his timing back. So I'm just trying to give him a breather."
Pirates: Cole 'feels good in simulated game'
Rehabbing right-hander Gerrit Cole threw a 70-pitch simulated game Wednesday at PNC Park and said he was not bothered by his right lat.
Cole is on the DL for the second time this season -- the first stint was in June for right shoulder fatigue -- after leaving a July 4 start against the Phillies early with tightness in the back muscle.
He said he felt good throwing with batters in the box, and would evaluate what would be the next step with manager Clint Hurdle and pitching coach Ray Searage. That step could very well be a rehab start, which is something Cole didn't do after his last DL appearance.
In his first start after that activation, he allowed five runs and seven hits to the Mets in just four innings.
"Coming in against the Mets, there were still some things I needed to clean up," Cole said. "I was able to do it in four days coming back against the Phillies. But at this time in the year, you can't come out not sharp and give games away. … It's important to come back and give quality starts; if it takes longer, so be it."
Worth noting
• At 54-47, the Pirates are the highest above .500 that they've been all season, and they're 5-1 since the All-Star break.

well bravo maybe it doesn't look like a sinking ship over at fox anymore.
well bravo maybe it doesn't look like a sinking ship over at fox anymore.
It makes sense for Fox. They intend to make money off of their piece of the Mighty Marvel pie., so it's a good idea to get a veteran comics supervisor.
I know alot of people don't like Millar or the focus of evil in the comics movie world (Fox). But if you want to end up with good comic book product on the screen (which is really all I want.) This might be the right route.
I also read somewhere that Patrick Stewart hinted that he might be playing Xavier again. I wonder if that has something to do with the Days of Future Past storyline for the First Class movie.
I don't like this one bit because I want FF to come back to Disney/Marvel.
Fox can keep X-men. They have ruined it enough as it is.
I think it's a good idea to have someone in charge who knows,loves & understands the marvel universe.And given Millar's background he's a solid choice for the job.Its good to know there's some solidarity over there.Definately need to have one person in charge to oversee everything.Sometimes people get wrapped up in their own movie & just run off with their own made up nonsense & it ends up on screen & unfortunately it completely screws up the chance for all the movies to gell together.Its just too bad that fox & marvel couldn't just put their differences aside so their could be just one marvel universe.Cuz the way things are now robs us fans of the chance to see a full complete marvel universe(X-Men,Spiderman,Fantastic Four,Daredevil on screen with the Avengers).But at least this will hopefully ensure a quality product ending up on screen.
dude studios don't care about fans just there big almighty dollar in the fans pocket movie to there wallets!
true they care more about the dollar but how can you not look at the revenue from the Avengers (or any of its preceding movies) and NOTwant to emulate that business model? they see that fans will pay(sometimes multiple times) to see a quality movie thats faithful to its source material. it really ends up being a win-win proposition
vagabondster i'll redirect your how can they not see to a seminar done with kevin smith about how the hollywood producer for superman lives kept on trying to change the source material cause he liked it better that way and didnt care about revenue and fans and only about what would get more toys to sell and lets not forget brett ratners script for superman where it had him fighting his ninja cousin and krypton never exploded. why that script cause rattner wanted his idea better then the source material and didnt care about fans or there thoughts why? cause if i make it they will come and see it mentality rather then what we want to see. case in point x-men last stand talk about left field source material!
I liked Wanted well enought and Kick Ass was allright but it's kind of hard to see Millar as the ideal candidate for this job. Movies of his own books seem to have deviated pretty far from source material and he is best known for the sort of foul-mouthed disrespectful characters and settings. I'm totally OK with that but it really isn't in keeping with titles like FF. Millar is also an obnoxious braggart, even for a talented guy.

03.08.2014 /
The KTM Enduro Factory Racing Team had reason to celebrate on Sunday when French rider Christophe Nambotin added the 2014 Enduro 1 World Championship title to his trophy collection when racing at the GP of Italy in Lumezzane.
Nambotin wrapped up the title in what was the penultimate round of the 2014 championship and adds it to the two E3 world titles he already owns.
But the factory team also had disappointment when E3 rookie Matthew Phillips, who is the championship leader in his first season in the senior class, broke bones in his foot in the first Enduro test on Sunday. Team boss Fabio Farioli said he did not crash but got his boot wedged between his bike and a rock. He confirmed after Sunday's race that Phillips had already undergone surgery for the fractures and he expected him to be able to race in France in the final round (September 13-14 in Brioude).
Riders contested three laps of about 50 km – each with three special tests. In the E1 class Christophe Nambotin was in great form topping the podium on both days of competition. On Saturday he claimed six of the nine special tests and advanced his points lead to make his claim on the title a matter to finalize on Sunday.
"Nambotin was very fast," team boss Fabio Farioli said after Saturday's competition, "but he also had to ride carefully because for him it's all about the championship." He went into Sunday's race knowing he had to finish in front of Finnish rider Eero Remes to seal his third world championship title. It was also a good weekend for E1 teammate Cristobal Guerrero who finished second to Nambotin on Sunday after a fourth place on Saturday. Remes is second in the points but the matter of the championship is already settled. Nambotin and Guerrero both ride the KTM 250 EXC-F.
In the absence through injury of the team's Antoine Meo – in Italy as a spectator and to support the team – it was Red Bull KTM's Taddy Blazusiak who flew in to contest the class on Meo's KTM 350 EXC-F. The Polish rider, one of the eminent riders in the US EnduroCross Championship surprised E2 riders on Saturday by leading the competitive E2 over the first lap. He made some mistakes in the next two laps, but had a big finish to put himself in a great fourth place only seven seconds off a podium. Blazusiak and Meo, who still recovering from a crash in Finland were in great demand by the Italian fans and Blazusiak went out on Sunday and pulled off another fourth place. He is set to ride in the Lumezzane Extreme Enduro on Sunday night along with factory teammate and Red Bull sponsored Ivan Cervantes of Spain.
Matthew Phillips mishap in Sunday's opening Enduro test was all the more disappointing because he had been the dominant rider in Saturday's outing and had picked up compliments from his team boss Farioli for his efforts. Cervantes, who is also hampered by a foot injury that prevents him standing up on the foot pegs, picked up hero points after he finished second on Saturday. The Spaniard finished overall fifth on Sunday and is second in the championship, eleven points behind Phillips. With a 35-point gap back to third placed Bellino and 40 more points up for grabs in the last rounds, it is still possible for either Phillips or Cervantes to close it out in France. They both ride the KTM 300 EXC. KTM riders took the top five places in the E3 class on Sunday.

libatiadlxx.so? Hmm.. I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and I'm very likely going to be wrong. Adaptive anti aliasing?
Phoronix: AMD Catalyst 8.4 Linux Driver
In the last quarter of 2007 AMD was on a spree with their proprietary Linux driver as they introduced their new OpenGL driver, which brought major performance improvements, and that was followed by AIGLX support. This year, however, their Catalyst Linux driver activity has been relatively quiet for end-users. Since switching over to this much-improved code-base, they have been able to deliver same-month product support for their new graphics processors such as the Radeon HD 3650, 3850/3870, and the 780G-based IGP, which once couldn't be said for this company that had taken them a half-year to deliver support for the Radeon X1000 (R500) and Radeon HD 2000 (R600) product families. Today the Catalyst 8.4 Linux driver has been released, and like the 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3 drivers, this month's update comes with minimal changes.
libatiadlxx.so? Hmm.. I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and I'm very likely going to be wrong. Adaptive anti aliasing?
Would be nice to have the download link?
Thought so, too, the ATI driver download page hasn't been updated, yet, so here we go:
So essentially this release is a obscure bug fix release. However, given the mention of the new library, I would assume that attention is being focused on Catalyst 8.5 hence the lack of activity on this driver update. Mind you, I don't have any issues with the current fglrx (3D, Video, etc all work well enough for use) hence why I'm impartial.
[One wonders why they bother with 8.4 then, but they need to keep consistency here I suppose]
Driver notes: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206..._84_linux.html
But...if there's a new library involved, I would expect new features. Furthermore, if it is in Beta stage already we might expect to have the 8.5 driver out early in May.
ad for advanced (or sth else, who cares)
l for linux
xx for crossfire?
Hopes never die
i'm getting a deja vu reading this part.With Catalyst 8.4+, aticonfig will no longer crash on newer Linux distributions where there is no device section within the xorg.conf configuration file.
wasn't there a very similar fix few releases before?
displaying adverts in the space occupied by watermark some releases ago ;-)libatiadlxx.so? Hmm.. I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and I'm very likely going to be wrong. Adaptive anti aliasing?
that would make a nice april's fools joke
Haha, yes and a truly evil joke at that.
Crossfire? Hmm.. Could be, I don't know how they would get crossfire in though, they can't even get DualHead to work properly. I can't imagine what would happen if they enabled crossfire in their drivers at this point in time, I smell disaster. That theory alone has just given me about 10 new names for the next ATI driver.
No, hopes don't ever die for crossfire, but the driver might literally die if they put that in. I don't think it could handle it right now.

The drivers works fine for me (Mobility X700 128MB), and AIGLX feels better than ever. This is the first time I'm using it for real.
Problem is my videos are black.
I havnt used linux on this pc for ages lol.
I am waiting for Crossfire support.
2X 3870X2 would mean, 3x doing nothing.
Anyways i got some other linux boxes, Anyways, X850 XT PE running Open source driver, no major issues.
1800 GTO Running FGLRX, Minor issues, annoying.
And 1950 XTX, Install issues, X.ORG edit, Corrected Working like 1800 GTO.
thats my story.
my fav must be my x850 PC, it runs nicely, 4.5K fps gears. Yes i have bios modded it, clocked slightly higher volt modded and new cooling, so i got abit high FPS for the card running open source driver.

What episode did they appear in? If you can pull some pics, it would help your cause....
the 3 original hordes men on Eternia, The ones that first introduced us to the horde. I love the horde, and creating these guys would certainly add to their ranks. I see them ass coming in a three pack just as the star sisters did, just seems to make sense. Anyone else down with these guys.

Pics or it didn't happen!
....er, I mean, pics or I don't know what you're talking about! Seriously, if everyone and thier mother is going to post a thread about some random side character, then there needs to be PICTURES! If I don't know what they look like, then how am I supposed to have a rabid internet opinion about it?

They're the three Horde Scouts from HM: "Origin of the Sorceress"
would like them if they were more interesting. would be excited if they got 200xed out. otherwise how they are look like the three stooges.
These three, Teela-Na and KuduK Ungol, even Morgoth would be great figures
Planet Claire has pink air
All the trees are red
No one ever dies there
No one has a headThe B-52's
With a 4H upgrade these could be buyable...
All caught up on figures...now what
I would be all over these guys. The more Hordes(wo)men, the better.
I know these characters.
Maybe sometime down the line. They look bland looking at 'em now, but I was ecstatic the first time I saw 'em years ago.

They'd most likely all use the Preternia Disguised He-Man body and tunic (sans hood)...Painted differently to match the Horde design and then each with unique heads. These figures wouldn't be unique enough from each other to warrant separate releases.
Now...they COULD (and to do the figures justice) create new bucks (one is short and stout, one is tall and lanky, etc.) to make them look unique...but I don't see them using their resources to do that for just these figures (unless the bucks could be used for multiple figures...and even then, those figures would probably be released prior to these ones.)
If they do these I hope they add a lot of detail. Ferros is supposed to be a rat, but he looks like a blue blob instead.
I'd like them, please! I was thinking the other day, wondering how they could be brought into the MOTUC storyline. Maybe they were the ones who discovered He-Ro's presence in Preternia and alerted Horde Supreme and Hordak, enabling them to follow him.

Interesting! I don't really care who they are so much as the fact that they look like some great low-ranking grunts for the Horde! I wouldn't mind having these guys as an example of the standard uniforms for the throw-away guys that the Horde recruits.

All three were significantly shorter than standard height - it'd make more sense to share parts with Gwildor than Preternia He-Man.
Perhaps a $40 three-pack?
Update them and they'd be cool. A lot of Filmation characters will need upgrades to work well in this line me thinks.
Click on Amazon or Barnes and Noble for a free sample of my first book, Paradigm Shift Saga: Malediction!
A short story of monsters and magic!
they could be really interesting, but i don't think we'll see another 3 pack in 2012.
master customizer he-mike made an amazing rendition of rackney and ferros in motuc style.
if i'm not wrong, all of them've been redisigned in your unofficial bios, with their respective animal traits emphasized, right?
Interesting, but not sure about Red Rachney, or both of them as full-sizers
Big as I am on Filmation, I'm not really in a hurry to get these three. The designs really are lacking, and, considering they were simply intended to be Horde grunts, that's not too surprising. Maybe a single generic Hordesman with interchangeable heads, but I wouldn't want to take up a three-pack with them.
"I will use this power for all the good that can be done, to work for peace, to encourage virtue, and above all, to preserve life in all its forms..." Superman
I want these based on the filmation look though... They'll fit in well with Imp.
Got Fur
I want a Glimmer by the end of 2012 and Extendar by 2013!
Other Wants:
MotU: Rokkon, Stonedar, Dragstor, Modulok, Multi-bot, Horde Trooper, DB Skeletor
PoP: Peekablue, Madam Razz, Lighthope, Kowl
NA: Quakke, Sagitarr
MYP: Hawk, Queen Andreenos, Lord Dactys
Mini-Comics: Kex Queen, Tug-of-War Yellow Warrior, King Hiss' Slave Girl
I did some design of them for a possible 6 pack based on the squat and young body type I did some time ago. I hope to post them soon
Hmmmm.... not in a hurry to get these, yet still, very interesting. More details, less Filmationish... Hmmmmm
Chroniklor, the Heroic Keeper of Eternian Myths, Legends and Lore.
I'm all for a Horde Recon Patrol 3pk.
Give them interchangeable heads to mass produce nameless Horde Grunts, I'd buy multiple packs. These were some of the more memorable Filmation characters for me.

Fishing T-Shirts
Fishing t-shirts come in all shapes, sizes, and designs; however, most of them do not come with the life-changing message of Christ like the Kerusso fishing shirts for men do. One of the most popular and most quoted verses from the Bible is Matthew 4:18-20. It says, "As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fisherman. 'Come, follow me' Jesus said 'and I will send you out to fish for people.' At once they left their nets and followed him."

Skaggs, Smyly take stage at Angel Stadium
Halos hope to rebound vs. Tigers in potential playoff preview
Two of the American League's best teams will face off in Anaheim on Friday night in a possible postseason preview, with both depending on young left-handers who likely wouldn't be in their respective squad's postseason rotation if the playoffs began today.
Nevertheless, both Tyler Skaggs and Drew Smyly have flashed the talent this year that previously made them high draft picks.
The Tigers' Smyly comes into the matchup with better results as of late, as he no-hit Cleveland for 4 2/3 innings in his last outing en route to seven innings of one-run ball.
Los Angeles should present a much harder challenge for Smyly, though, as right-handed hitters have given him trouble this year in batting for a combined line of .307/.369/.525. The Angels, of course, possess two of the best right-handed sluggers in baseball in Mike Trout and Albert Pujols. In Smyly's only start against the Halos this year, he lasted just three innings and gave up six hits and four runs on April 18.
On Sunday against Cleveland, however, Smyly's breaking ball flummoxed the Indians' batters for most of the afternoon, no matter what side of the plate they hit from. The contact he did allow generally wasn't solid.
"I don't think it's anything different," Smyly said. "I just think it's executing pitches. It's still the same pitches. I have to go out there and execute my game plan."
Skaggs, meanwhile, fell victim to two bad innings in his last start against Seattle, as the Mariners scored a combined five runs in the first and seventh. In the five innings in between, however, Skaggs faced the minimum 15 batters and only one registered a hit.
"I think I just turned it up a notch because I was kind of [ticked] off that I just gave up three runs in the first inning," Skaggs said. "I think I need to start going out there with that attitude."
He'll be supported by one of MLB's best offenses, though it hasn't performed that way since the All-Star break. In the last six games before the series, the Angels hit just .225 (57-for-253), scored 21 runs and batted .188 with runners in scoring position.
Tigers: Soria slotted into seventh-inning role
In being dealt from the Rangers to the Tigers, Joakim Soria was traded from the last-place team in the AL West to the leaders of the AL Central, which the Tigers have finished atop three years running.
But as a byproduct of making that desirable move, Soria will be seeing far fewer appearances in the last two innings of games.
The Tigers have indicated that their plan is for Soria to pitch the seventh inning when the team's bullpen is at full strength, only filling in during the eighth or ninth innings on days when Joba Chamberlain or Joe Nathan are unavailable.
But the former Rangers and Royals closer doesn't mind pitching in the seventh as long as he's contributing to wins in some manner.
"I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make this team win the most games it can," Soria said. "I'm able to whatever they want me to do. My goal is to win the World Series."
Angels: Tough stretch continues
Having already faced Seattle and Baltimore to begin the second half, the Angels are taking on another postseason contender in Detroit. All three teams would make the playoffs if the season ended today.
Thursday's series opener with the Tigers was the first of 14 games for the Angels against teams that have a combined 216-187 (.536) record. After concluding their series with the AL Central leaders, the Halos travel to Baltimore and Tampa Bay before returning to Southern California to take on the Dodgers.
"I don't think there's any such thing as a soft part of your schedule or tough part of your schedule," Scioscia said. "These games are all tough. The fact that we're playing a team in first place in their division, I don't think it changes what we need to do on the field."
Worth noting
• The Angels and Tigers each rank in the top three in the AL in runs, total bases, on-base percentage, slugging percentage and extra-base hits.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Sofitel London St James
6 Waterloo Place, Westminster, London, England, UK
Neighborhood: St James
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Prepare for a slight case of culture shock — the old Cox's and King's bank on the corner of Waterloo Place and Pall Mall, just around the corner from the Picadilly Circus tube station, is now the place to go in London for a little taste of Paris. Today owned by the French Sofitel chain, it's had a makeover courtesy of designer Pierre-Yves Rochon, and now sports a fine French brasserie overseen by chef Vincent Menager.
Absent is the country-house look of the standard London luxury hotel — this one is contemporary and continental through and through. There is such a thing as five-star luxury without chintz and printed fabrics, and these rooms prove it, outfitted in smart, nearly monochrome color schemes with dark lacquered furniture against muted backgrounds, trading patterned wallpaper for black-and-white photographic prints.
Beneath the Art Deco surface you'll find all the trappings of a state-of-the-art hotel, technological and otherwise: palatial bathrooms, flat-screen televisions, high-speed internet, spa and massage treatments and a full complement of business services. The Balcon brasserie is a worthy option, a popular spot for a business lunch, and the St. James Bar offers what's purported to be London's widest selection of both champagnes and cigars, in a space that's patterned after Coco Chanel's 1920s Paris apartment.
How to get there:
Sofitel London St James is a 6-minute walk from the Piccadilly Circus tube station. If you're arriving from Heathrow Airport, the most convenient transfer option to central London is the Heathrow Express train, which leaves Heathrow Airport every 15 minutes and takes 15 minutes to arrive at Paddington Station. One-way fares are available from £18 and round-trip fares from £32. By black cab, Sofitel London St James is approximately a 45-minute ride from Heathrow Airport (depending on traffic) and can cost upwards of £50.

"Ignite the FIRE"
Welcome to
Ignite the Fire
gnite the FIRE is a ministry born out of my life. I am a homeschooling mother with 8 children and we have been homeschooling since 1992.
fter spending a large amount of money on textbooks and seemingly everything we needed for kindergarten, I realized my oldest daughter's learning had slowed dramatically, and her love to learn had all but disappeared. Out of sheer desperation, I tossed out the textbooks and went back to reading aloud and enjoying life. We have now found what we believe to be the perfect plan for our home school.
s you read the pages in the navigation menu to the left, please remember one thing, my method should not be followed exactly. Your child is not an exact science. Your child's education should be guided through constant prayer, not through the Terri Camp method. You will learn as you peruse our site that there are many ways to learn something.
ur prayer as you journey to the center of our lives is that you come out refreshed, uplifted, and more prepared to train up your children in the way they should go. If you have comments about this site, please do not hesitate to contact us. Also know that we are a busy family. If your e-mail requires a response and you don't receive one within a week, please resend it.
Endorsement from John Taylor Gatto!
magine my excitement when I received a postcard from John Taylor Gatto, former New York State Teacher of the Year and author of The Underground History of American Education! This is what he said,
"Full of insight, imagination, and human warmth. Personally, I would rather learn from one heartfelt book by a writer like Mrs. Camp, than from a whole library of rhetoric produced by professional experts."
WOW! I think I felt like fainting! If you would like to visit Mr. Gatto's website, you can do so by going to
would also like to thank

for honoring me with the 2003 Favorite Homeschool Speaker of the Year Award.

Postgres is great, I've used it daily for about five years now. If anyone is using mysql and doesn't like it for some reason, give postgres a go. I'm not trying to start a flamewar, but I do love postgres. The words that come to mind when I think of it are "predictable, consistent and solid" It's never let me down. I started on version 8, versions 7 and below did seem to have some quirkiness to them, but thats all in the past.
My colleague just told me about 9.0. He said that it will finally bring a 64 bit install with it.
I don't work with postgres directly (more a mysql guy), I do have to troubleshoot and develop with it from time to time. I really like some of the features it has.

After a tiring and eventful school year Onizuka takes a break from the classroom and for his school break he decides escape the pressures of work by heading back home to the lazy surfers village of Shonan. Back in his hometown, he runs into friend of his significant other who runs an orphanage called the White Swan Youth Home. An orphan himself, Onizuka decides to help the home with hopes to help the kids in the same manner he does at school.
This time round the GTO has a special case. He's got a good kid to look after. Seiya has his head on straight despite having a troubled home. And if there is anything the teen struggles with it possibly is how badly he wants to fix his family.
Like many single-parent children, Seiya has an attachment to the lone parent that has been around. And even though this person has neglected him enough that he is now in child protection, Seiya's willing to risk his future and maybe his freedom to make things work out for his small family. If that means taking arms, then so be it!
But the GTO is not going to let him off easily. You cannot pack heat without getting burned in his town! So Onizuka is going to show him what it means to shot someone. He's gonna let him experience being hunted down. The school of hard knocks is back in session!
Born in 1967, Tohru Fujisawa is a veteran Japanese comic artist and multimillion unit seller. Best known globally for his international sensation Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO), Fujisawa was the 22nd Kodansha Comic Award Winner in 1998 for his work on the hit series. The GTO property would go on to inspire two animated TV series and an internationally distributed live action TV series by the same name.
Since GTO Fujisawa has gone on to pen thirteen more comic series, with four of those properties landing on American shores. Fujisawa continues to be one of the most beloved manga artists of this generation.

©1993 William Shatner; (P)1993 HarperCollins Publishers, Inc.
"Glimpses of the 20th-century entertainment business that even non-Trekkies will find engaging." (New York Times Book Review)
"good insider view"
This was very entertaining, I only wonder what photos I missed from the printed book. I must give credit to Shatner, he included at the end what the cast disliked about him personally, which is not a small part of the story, and that was essential, I think.
A very entertaining read. Some bad language - be warned.
"Shatner; Reads. His Own. Book."
Yes. It's William Freakin' Shatner!
Listening to how one of the networks heard all of Gene Roddenberry's ideas about Star Trek. Passed on the idea. Then created Lost in Space from Gene's notes.
Well...it IS William Shatner.
Not really a "movie" kind of book
If you're curious about Star Trek or are a major fan, this is an awesome book.
"Great Listen"
If you're a Star Trek fan, and even if you're not, this is a gripping listen. Shatner's read at times is a little fast (as though he's trying to get it all in within a certain time) but the fact that he's reading it, makes it worthwhile. Great stories and insight for the true fan, or anyone interested in '60s-era television.
"James T. Kirk in all his glory"
Still remember the day we got our first color TV and one of the first programs we watched Star Trek in all it's colorful glory. William Shatner gives a good narration and keeps your interest. Funny, Sad, Interesting, Informative.......... it's well worth your listening time if your a Trekkie fan
Brilliant and insightful, this monologue takes you on a journey with a welcomed frankness that only comes from one who lived through it. Plenty of facts of great interest to those trekkers and budding directors alike!
You would definitely listen to it more than once, and it's the perfect companion to his Movie Memories book as well. Time just flies!!!
A creative writer & a lover of Macs, gadgets, and women.
"Rushed performance, great details."
It is loaded with Trek trivia. Kreski really did a humongous amount of research for this book.
Well, Bill of course.
Yes, I have. This, like his narration of "Star Trek Movie Memories", feels rushed, as if he just wants to get through the reading. His "Up Till Now" was a much more enjoyable listen, and a lot more humorous a book to boot.
Drawling & Drowning in Detail.
It's a great source of details about the production of the Original Series, but you have to take it with a hefty grain of salt, because some of the stuff contradicts what Shatner has said or written before/after. For instance, he claims in this book that the controversial interracial kiss in the series never happened, while he's said many times before that it did. He also says that the actors frequently got together for barbecues and stuff off-camera, which is most certainly false. However, if you can look past the occasional fluff and misinformation, there is a great deal of interesting trivia here.
"Great Read"
Entertaining. Interesting. Fun.
The behind-the-scenes look at the Star Trek episodes, the stories having to do with the actors and others battling it out with NBC, and the whole process.
Well, William Shatner was there! That made it cool that he narrated it, even if I thought he talked too fast and muffled in some areas.
This is a bad question considering it's a book about the movies and TV episodes.
Very entertaining and enlightening. I actually did a class project on Nichelle Nichols' contribution to civil rights and used Shatner's book as a reference. I even came in costume! I really feel like a big Star Trek nerd now that I've read this book. There was some overlap from Nimoy's "I Am Spock," but not much.
"Wanted to hear more"
Yes, but sometimes he spoke really fast! I had to slow down the narrative to get everything...
"A MUST HAVE audiobook for all true Trekkers!!"
Not only was Shatner's perspective truly informative and a trivia goldmine, his reading of it is witty, tongue in cheek and vastly entertaining!!
Shatner's insight on Gene Rodenberry, the before-his time genius who created Star Trek was a clear and heartfelt homage to a man he respects and owes so much.
Shatner covers so many hilarious as well as touching moments it would be hard to single one out, but the infamous "Green skinned Orion Slave Girl" incident has to take the cake!
Shatner remembers SHATNER! (As well as several other cast and crew!!)
"Wonderful insight into Star Trek law. Very"
Berry good book. Interesting facts and stories from the concept of the TV series to the end of the third season.
Great for any Star Trek fan.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Commander: Contingency plans under way for Syria
Wednesday - 3/20/2013, 7:30am EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The top U.S. military commander in Europe said Tuesday that several NATO countries are working on contingency plans for possible military action to end the two-year civil war in Syria as President Bashar Assad's regime accused U.S.-backed Syrian rebels of using chemical weapons.
The Obama administration rejected the Assad claim as a sign of desperation by a besieged government intent on drawing attention from its war atrocities -- some 70,000 dead, more than 1 million refugees and 2.5 million people internally displaced. A U.S. official said there was no evidence that either Assad forces or the opposition had used chemical weapons in an attack in northern Syria.
As the war enters its third year, the U.S. military, State Department officials and the U.N. high commissioner for refugees delivered a dire assessment of a deteriorating situation in Syria and the sober view that even if Assad leaves, the Middle East nation could slip into civil strife similar to the Balkans in the 1990s.
"The Syrian situation continues to become worse and worse and worse," Adm. James Stavridis, the commander of U.S. European Command, told the Senate Armed Services Committee. "No end in sight to a vicious civil war."
Stavridis, who is retiring soon, said a number of NATO nations are looking at a variety of military operations to end the deadlock and assist the opposition forces, including using aircraft to impose a no-fly zone, providing military assistance to the rebels and imposing arms embargoes.
As with U.S. and international involvement in Libya in 2011, a resolution from the U.N. Security Council and agreement among the alliance's 28 members would be necessary before NATO assumes a military role in Syria, Stavridis said.
"We are prepared if called upon to be engaged as we were in Libya," he said.
But within individual member countries, the admiral said, "there's a great deal of discussion" about lethal support to Syria, no-fly zones, arms embargoes and more. "It is moving individually within the nations, but it has not yet come into NATO as an overall NATO-type approach," he said.
Senate Armed Services Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., asked whether there is any consideration of targeting Syria's air defenses. Stavridis simply said yes.
NATO has installed Patriot missile defense batteries in southern Turkey along the border with Syria that are also capable of shooting down aircraft. During an exchange with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., Stavridis said the Patriots could be positioned in such a way as to shoot down Syrian aircraft, and he indicated that doing so would be a powerful disincentive for pilots to fly in that area.
Turkey's leaders have been "very emphatic" that the missiles be used only for defensive purposes, Stavridis said. To use the batteries for other missions, including attacking Syrian military aircraft, would require consensus among NATO's members -- "and we're far from that," Stavridis told the committee.
Stavridis said that his personal opinion is that providing military assistance to the Syrian opposition "would be helpful in breaking the deadlock and bringing down the Assad regime."
Syria's state-run news agency said 25 people were killed in a chemical attack on the Khan al-Assad village in northern Aleppo province. It said 86 people were wounded, some critically, and published pictures of children and others on stretchers in what appeared to be a hospital ward.
Russia, which has steadfastly supported Assad in Syria's civil war, on Tuesday backed Assad's assertion of a chemical attack.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said the U.S. is looking carefully at all allegations but that the Obama administration is "deeply skeptical" of any claims emanating from Assad's regime.
Denis McDonough, the White House chief of staff, said the U.S. wouldn't stand by if it turns out the regime used chemical weapons, but he declined to say whether he believed the reports could be true.
"If this is substantiated, it does suggest ... that this is a game-changer. And we will act accordingly," McDonough told CNN. "This is something we take very, very seriously."
The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., said he thought there was a "high probability" the Assad government had used chemical weapons, although it was not clear whether he was referring to the attack in northern Syria. "We need that final verification, but given everything we know over the last year and a half, I would come to the conclusion that they are either positioned for use, and ready to do that, or in fact have been used," Rogers told CNN.

Detailed Description:
Family Health International has recently initiated a USAID funded study to investigate the pregnancy rates, continuation rates, and acceptability of COCs in women taking COCs by the 21/7 cyclic regimen compared with the continuous use of COCs with bleeding-signaled hormone-free intervals. The primary objective is to determine whether continuous COC use leads to higher 12-month continuation rates than use of the standard 28-day COC regimen. Secondary objectives are to 1) compare pregnancy probabilities through 6 and 12 months between the continuous use group and the 28-day group 2) compare COC continuation rates through 6 months between the continuous use group and the 28-day group 3) compare acceptability of the two COC regimens 4) to compare bleeding and other side effects between the continuous use group and the 28-day group 5) to compare hemoglobin/hematocrit between the continuous use group and the 28-day group

Strasburg takes hill for first time since ejection
Nationals try to win series against Cubs, who counter with lefty Wood
No two starts this season have been more interesting for Stephen Strasburg than his last two.
The right-hander spun his first complete game and shutout against the Phillies on Aug. 16, allowing just four hits and walking one batter in the Nationals' 6-0 win. Then, on Saturday against the Braves, he retired only three hitters before being ejected from the game, which Washington won, 8-7, in 15 innings.
Strasburg plunked Justin Upton in the first inning before throwing two wild pitches behind Andrelton Simmons in the second. He and manager Davey Johnson were each ejected, though neither was suspended by Major League Baseball.
"I can't really explain it," Strasburg said. "I really didn't feel good out there."
Strasburg will make his first start at Wrigley Field since Opening Day 2012, when he limited the Cubs to one run over seven innings but didn't factor in the decision.
Much has changed since then, and the reigning National League East champions now find themselves battling for an outside shot at the second Wild Card spot. Johnson even showed a glimpse of resignation on Wednesday, when he said that he would platoon some players for the rest of this season to get a look at younger talent.
"We're not in the position I'd like to be in, but there is a necessity to look at some guys," Johnson said. "We'll be doing that. I mentioned the other day that Tyler Moore had to get some at-bats, some pretty regular at-bats."
The Cubs have relied on their youth all season, including shortstop Starlin Castro, first baseman Anthony Rizzo and Thursday's starter, 26-year-old Travis Wood. Manager Dale Sveum said that being relied upon as a young player is never easy, especially on a struggling team.
"When you come to the big leagues and right away you get 200 hits, obviously you become a focal point right away," Sveum said. "Like I told Rizzo today, 'Unfortunately or fortunately, it's part of the gig.' One thing you don't want to have happen is not being the focal point, because that means something's fizzled away or something like that."
Wood is 2-7 in his last 14 outings, despite 10 quality starts during that span. Of their 35 combined quality starts this season, Wood and Strasburg only have 13 wins.
Nationals: Espinosa still has a lot to prove
• Danny Espinosa entered this season as the Nationals' starting second baseman, but because of nagging injuries, frequent strikeouts and a low batting average, he was demoted to Triple-A Syracuse after spending some time on the disabled list in June.
Johnson said last month that Espinosa would likely rejoin the Nationals sometime this season, but on Wednesday, the skipper offered a new take. When asked if he would consider recalling Espinosa, who is hitting .202 in 64 Triple-A games, when rosters expand next month, Johnson was hesitant.
"There have been discussions of [calling him up], and right now we're trying to get him back on track," Johnson said. "It's also a reward system when you get called back up. It's a reward on how you did down there. He's not doing the things I know he's capable of doing. But there's still a little time left, and we'll just have to wait and see."
• Roger Bernadina, who was the organization's longest-tenured player before he was released on Monday, signed with the Phillies. He pinch-hit in the seventh inning Wednesday and flew out to right field.
Cubs: Murphy in the midst of a power surge
Utility man Donnie Murphy has smashed his way into the Cubs' starting lineup by hitting seven home runs since Aug. 6. Entering Wednesday's games, the only other player in baseball with more homers in that span was Detroit's Miguel Cabrera (eight).
"Fifty percent of me is [surprised], fifty percent of me isn't," Murphy said. "I know I'm capable of driving some balls out sometimes. But I've been getting some good pitches to hit and just putting good swings on them. I'll take what I can get."
Murphy's success hasn't been limited to home runs, however. During the Cubs' 10-game homestand, which ends Thursday, he has hit .375 (12-for-32) with four doubles. He has also answered Chicago's short-term question at third base, a spot that has been in flux since the departure of Ian Stewart.
"It's huge, putting a guy in the lineup that was really kind of here to be more of a utility player, and then he just played himself into playing every day," Sveum said.
Worth noting
• The Nationals hit two three-run homers in the same game on Wednesday for the first time this season. Jayson Werth's home run came in the third inning and Scott Hairston hit another three-run blast against his former team in the seventh, his first homer as a National.
• With seven strikeouts on Thursday, Wood will have 400 in his career.
• Wednesday marked Johnson's 200th win as manager of the Nationals. He also topped the 200-games won milestone as manager of the Reds (1993-95) and Mets (1984-1990).
