Cake Poll: Oops, Make that a Cookie Poll!
It's that unique time of year that summer starts to fade into early fall; the skies are a piercing blue, days are getting shorter, and school's back in session. Even those who are long out of school are not impervious to the allure of this season, nostalgically recalling the excitement newness of a new school year, punctuated by freshly sharpened pencils and maybe a brand new trapper keeper. And what else goes better with back to school time than milk and cookies at the end of the day?
- What is your favorite type of cookie?
- Oatmeal Cookies: With raisins, or chocolate chips?
- Dunking your cookies: Deliciousness, or a soggy mess?
- Slice n' bake cookies: Guilty pleasure, or never ever?
- Jumbo bakery cookies: too much, or just enough?
- Bar cookies: are they really cookies, or a different category entirely?
- Which is better: Slightly underbaked or slightly overbaked?
- Eating cookie dough: so wrong, or so right?
The fine print: The poll will be closed at 2 p.m PST on Thursday, September 4 (we're leaving it open for a week since we hope many of you are avoiding your computers over the holiday weekend!). As usual, the winner will be chosen at random. Entries from the US and beyond are welcome. Your info will never be shared and these questions are solely motivated by our nosy spy tendencies. Of course, if you don't win, you can always buy Cakespy artwork and gear at jessieoleson.etsy.com!

Christmas Candy
22 comments :
Wow that candy looks absolutely amazing! I can't believe you were able to keep all the chocolate in the squares for the most part; if I was doing that, there would be chocolate EVERYWHERE!
I'm your newest follower from the bloggy buddies blog hop. Please feel free to come by my blog and if you like, follow me back. :o)
For Love of Cupcakesso funny. I just posted my Holiday Peppermint Bark recipe which is very similar to this one. I love the idea of placing the chocolate in that pan with squares - makes it very easy to take the chocolate out when it's done. My recipe calls for a 9x9 pan to harden the chocolate. Once it's cold, it's very difficult to break apart. However, it is nice looking to have many jagged little pieces.

Why can't you install any extensions?
From Joomla! Documentation
There are several different issues that can cause this problem, depending on your Web hosting environment.
PHP Version
If your site is using PHP 5.0.4 this problem will occur. You need to ask your host to upgrade to a newer version of php. Joomla! does not work with PHP 5.0.4, there is no work around.
Tmp and session paths
One common problem with remote hosts is that they sometimes move sites to different folders on the host server. In general, this does not cause obvious problems in Joomla!. However, when you install an extension, you need to be able to write to the "tmp" directory.
In this case, you might get the error message: "JFolder::create: Could not create directory" and "Warning! Failed to move file." If you have the Joomla! FTP layer enabled, you might get the message "JFTP::mkdir: Bad response, JFTP::chmod: Bad response, JFTP::store: Bad response, Warning! Failed to move file."
tmp directory: An incorrect tmp directory can cause this problem. To check this, look in your configuration.php file for the var $tmp_path value and make certain it matches your actual path. This must be writable to Joomla!.
Session path: The session.save_path directive in your php.ini file must be writable. To verify, use the Forum Post Assistant. If it reports save.session_path: Not Writable then there is a problem. Look at your php.ini directives and verify the location and the permissions of the session.save_path value. It must be a valid location and it must be writable for Joomla!. You may require the assistance of your Web host for this, depending on your Web hosting situation.
php.ini: You could also check your php.ini file, main file is generally under /etc directory. If you can edit this file, you can set open_basedir to include the temp directory: open_basedir = /tmp. If you have another path included, as suggested by security settings for Joomla!, you can add additional paths by adding :/path. An example: open_basedir = /var/www/html:/tmp.
File ownership advice from ianmac
At the heart of the issue is file ownership. There are generally two main server users that end up owning your files - the FTP user, and the Apache/PHP user. Obviously, when you upload files using FTP, the FTP user ends up owning them. Therefore, if you give a file 755 permissions, then ONLY the FTP user can write to that file.
If you install Joomla! without the FTP layer, then the files it creates are owned by the Apache/PHP user. If you give the file 755 permissions, then ONLY the Apache/PHP user can write to that file.
Just to emphasize, the fact that these username and passwords happen to be the same has no effect whatsoever on anything. They are different subsystems and are unrelated. It may be convenient, but will not solve your permission issues.
So there are generally two approaches to take:
- upload all the files via cpanel. This will generally result in all of the files being owned by the Apache/PHP user. Ensure that the root directory that all of your Joomla! files are installed in is writable, so that the installer can create the configuration.php file. Then, install Joomla! WITHOUT the FTP layer.
- upload all the files using FTP. This will generally result in all of the files being owned by the FTP user. Make sure that your Joomla! root directory is writable, again, so that the installer can create the configuration.php file. Then install Joomla! WITH the FTP layer.
Ensure that your cache folders are owned by the Apache/PHP user, because these files are written by PHP. (cache because writing using the PHP user is much faster than via FTP.
If you apply these principles - and choose either the first or the second approach, you should get better results and extension installation should work properly via the admin interface. Mixing the two approaches will cause you no end of grief.
A good way to check that everything is in order is to browse to the Administrator section of your site and browse to Help->System Info from the menu. Click on directory permissions.
If you don't have the FTP layer enabled, it is important that everything show up as Writable. If you do have the FTP layer enabled, then it is important that your two Cache directories show up as writable. It is most likely okay that the rest show up as unwritable, because Joomla! can likely write these files using the stored FTP settings.
If you choose to use the FTP layer and you still have trouble, reupload the Joomla! 1.5 package onto your server using your FTP client and the FTP user that you specified in Joomla!'s global configuration. If your FTP client reports permission problems when trying to do this, contact your host for further assistance.
File ownership advice from srgb
I was stuck with the same issue and found a cool solution. You may use the FTP to upload files and Apache/PHP user for Joomla, you just need to do some preparation:
Right after the extraction of Joomla_install_xxx.zip file into your website's root dir, change file permissions recursively to 4770 (suid bit lets Joomla pretend it's a directory creator):
chmod -R 4770 /path/to/root/htdocs/dir
Later, change Joomla script a bit to create all new dirs with the same perms (in libraries/joomla/filesystem/folder.php):
function create($path = '', $mode = 4770)
That's all, enjoy your Joomla!
Web hosting advice from HarryB
There are some techniques used by some Web hosts that make this easier for novices. HarryB, longtime community member, has this advise for those of you who are not experts in security issues, and do not wish to invest time in that learning, and are considering finding a Web host environment that will allow you to avoid these scenarios:
When looking for a host, ask if they implement phpsuexec and php-cgi. if they do, that's a good way to go as the ownership/permission issues in this environment will probably be far more manageable than they are when using the Apache php module (mod_php).

Maurer well rested heading into start vs. A's
Oakland doesn't expect neck issue will hamper Parker in outing
Mariners right-hander Brandon Maurer comes into Saturday's start against the A's at Safeco Field well rested.
He'll be pitching on 10 days' rest after having his spot skipped in the rotation. He last pitched April 30 against the Orioles, allowing four runs on six hits in four innings for his fourth loss of the season.
Three off-days in that stretch also allowed manager Eric Wedge to use other starters ahead of Maurer (2-4, 6.07 ERA) and give the 22-year-old rookie some extra rest in his first season.
"It's all about him just being consistent and throwing his fastball where he wants to and throwing all of his pitches," Wedge said. "He's a young man, so to give him a little extra time, it's a good thing."
Meanwhile, Jarrod Parker will be on the hill for the A's looking to put his most recent struggles behind him. Parker has given up 50 hits, including eight home runs, and 18 walks in 34 1/3 innings this year.
The right-hander took a loss to the Indians on Monday to fall to 1-5 on the season with a 7.34 ERA, the fourth highest ERA in the Majors among pitchers with 30 or more innings pitched. He allowed four runs on seven hits in five innings before exiting with a neck strain.
The A's don't expect that injury to be an issue in Saturday's start, with A's manager Bob Melvin believing Parker has turned a corner.
"It's not like from the first pitch on we'll be worried about how his neck feels," Melvin said. "I think he goes out there and just worries about results. I think he's far enough along and feels good to where it's not something he'll be thinking about when he's out there. At least that's my expectation."
A's: Young nearing rehab assignment
An injury-riddled A's team could soon be welcoming back outfielder Chris Young, who is expected to begin a rehab assignment within a few days.
Young, nursing a strained left quad, could potentially be Arizona-bound this weekend should the A's decide he's ready to pick up a handful of at-bats in game action at extended spring camp. That puts Young on track to possibly return to the A's when eligible on Wednesday.
Coco Crisp, meanwhile, doesn't appear to be as close to rejoining the club, though he may not be too far behind, Melvin said Friday in Seattle.
"He's maybe a day or so away from running," Melvin said. "Once he starts to recover, based on my experience with him, it can be pretty quick. But no timetable as far as when we expect him back here."
Mariners: Gutierrez takes BP
Center fielder Franklin Gutierrez took batting practice on Friday as he continues to recover from a strained right hamstring that has sidelined him since April 22.
The 30-year-old is eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list as soon as he's ready, but the Mariners are being cautious with the veteran.
"He's feeling pretty good," Wedge said. "He's been swinging the bat and he'll take some BP today. But we're not to the point where we're going to run him just yet. It's going to take some time for him to get back, but he's progressing."
Worth noting
• A's infielder Hiroyuki Nakajima (left hamstring) played nine innings for Sacramento on Friday, marking the first time he's played back-to-back days since his rehab stint began.
• Felix Hernandez and Hisashi Iwakuma will move ahead of Aaron Harang in the Mariners' rotation and pitch Tuesday and Wednesday at Yankee Stadium, with Harang then throwing Thursday on eight days' rest.

Kidney failure facts
- Kidneys are the organs that help filter waste products from the blood. They are also involved in regulating blood pressure, electrolyte balance, and red blood cell production in the body.
- Symptoms of kidney failure are due to the build-up of waste products in the body that may cause weakness, shortness of breath, lethargy, and confusion. Inability to remove potassium from the bloodstream may lead to abnormal heart rhythms and sudden death. Initially kidney failure may cause no symptoms.
- There are numerous causes of kidney failure, and treatment of the underlying disease may be the first step in correcting the kidney abnormality.
- Some causes of kidney failure are treatable and the kidney function may return to normal. Unfortunately, kidney failure may be progressive in other situations and may be irreversible.
- The diagnosis of kidney failure usually is made by blood tests measuring BUN, creatinine, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
- Treatment of the underlying cause of kidney failure may return kidney function to normal. Lifelong efforts to control blood pressure and diabetes may be the best way to prevent chronic kidney disease and its progression to kidney failure. As we age kidney function gradually decreases over time.
- If the kidneys fail completely, the only treatment options available may be dialysis or transplant. Continue Reading

If the Dodgers are going to make a move in the National League West standings, this week gives them a great opportunity.
Los Angeles has struggled mightily against the rival Giants, losing five of six meetings, though San Francisco has only outscored the Dodgers, 24-20, as they prepare for a three-game series starting Monday.
The Giants have lost six of their last nine, while the Dodgers just wrapped up a nine-game road trip, going 4-5 and ending with a pair of wins in San Diego.
The starting pitching matchup in the series opener figures to be a great one. The Giants will send lefty Madison Bumgarner (7-4, 3.25) to the mound, while the Dodgers will counter with lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu (6-3, 2.96).
Bumgarner struck out eight Padres and allowed only two runs on three hits in seven innings his last time out.
"I felt pretty good about [the start]," Bumgarner said. "I didn't leave many balls over the middle of the plate."
He dominated the Dodgers in the teams' meeting earlier this year, when Los Angeles had just two hitters reach base in Bumgarner's eight scoreless innings.
Ryu threw a quality start his last time out against the Yankees and has now thrown at least six innings in 13 of 14 starts.
Dodgers: Gonzalez starting to heat up
Adrian Gonzalez had just one homer and four RBIs this month before homering Saturday. He followed that up with a 2-for-4 performance Sunday, including another long ball and a double.
"He was just in a lull," manager Don Mattingly said. "We'll see him get hot and go on a streak."
But Mattingly does not want Gonzalez to be responsible for carrying the team's offense.
"We have to make sure the team doesn't allow him to be that guy," he said.
Giants: Power problems persist for San Fran
• Hunter Pence snapped the Giants' season-high streak of eight consecutive games without a home run with a solo shot in Sunday's loss to the Marlins.
• The Giants are coming off their first losing homestand since July 23-Aug. 2, 2012, when they went 3-7.
Worth noting
• The Giants have 14 one-run victories this season compared to nine losses.
• Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez has 11 hits in his last 22 at-bats, with six runs and seven RBIs.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Arceus (Japanese: アルセウス Aruseusu) is a Normal-type Mythical and Legendary Pokémon, and is known as the creator of the Pokémon world. Arceus has the unique ability to change its type depending on the type of plate that it holds. Arceus has a stat total of 720 surpassing the highest's record of 700.
Template:IArceus is an equine being similar to a Qilin or Centaur. Its body color is white with a gray, vertically-striated underside, the pattern of which has similar recurrences on the underside of Arceus's mane, tail, and face, and Arceus's pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its mane is quite long, jutting away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. It also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on Arceus's current type. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist, the underside of Arceus's limbs also being gray in coloration, and with extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in shape and coloration. Arceus looks like a fusion of Palkia and Dialga, resembling a wingless dragon of some sort. Arceus will change color as well as type with whatever type plate it is holding. It is shown with other colors of the wheel, though always being differnt.
Special Abilities
Arceus has the ability Multitype, which is an ability exclusive only to this Pokémon. Multitype allows Arceus to change its type based on whichever plate it is currently holding, e.g. holding the Flame Plate makes it the Fire-Type. Likewise, a Splash Plate will make it a Water-Type.
According to the Pokédex, Arceus in mythology is said to have shaped the Universe with its "1,000 " arms, though, due to Arceus not actually having any arms, it can safely be assumed that the "1,000 arms" are metaphorical. The "1,000" arms could be Arceus's move "Judgement" but this is still unknown. It has also been stated that Arceus created the Legendary Titans (otherwise known as the Dragon Trio) Dialga, Palkia, and surprisingly Giratina, as well as the Lake Guardian Trio (also known as the Lake Spirits) Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf. Arceus can also easily hold off Giratina, Palkia, and Dialga all at the same time, making it incredibly powerful and it can speak using telepathy. Its balanced stats surpasses Mew's, Celebi's, Jirachi's, Manaphy's, and even Victini's. It is also capable of learning Draco Meteor if given the Draco Plate. It can learn pretty much any move and the only moves it cannot learn are the ones that requires the arms, which it lacks. Strangely it is also capable of using Seismic Toss despite not having any arms to toss its opponents with (it may do this with levitation.).
In the Anime
Arceus appeared in Arceus and the Jewel of Life, making its debut appearance in any form of the Pokémon Anime. Arceus battled against Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. Dialga transported Ash, Dawn, Brock, and Sheena (a new character) back in time to stop Marcus from betraying Arceus in the first place.Arceus also appeared along with Dialga, Palkia and Giratina in the opening "The Greatest - Everyday!". It eventually is the world's most powerful Pokémon.
In the Manga
Template:IGold will fight against an enraged Arceus in the later chapters of Heartgold and Soulsilver Pokémon Adventures.
Arceus does not evolve.
Game Info
Arceus first appeared in the Generation IV games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl being a Legendary Pokémon. As of November 2009, Nintendo released a one of a kind Arceus to the USA. So far this has been the only way to get an Arceus except through the use of a cheating device. Arceus is captured in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum versions after obtaining the Azure Flute event item through the aforementioned cheating device and using it to gain access to the Hall of Origin. Even though Arceus existed in the first Generation IV games, it was not revealed by Nintendo until February 2009. In the game there exists data for the ??? Type Arceus (and apparently the ??? Plate] as well), but there is no way of obtaining it except via hacking. (It is possible that Nintendo only put a ??? type coloring for Arceus and a ??? Plate in the games code to keep it from crashing). It is known as the Deity Pokémon due to the fact it created Dialga, Palkia, Giratina and the lake guardians. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, there is an event in which you can trade the 12th movie Arceus over from Diamond, Pearl or Platinum, enter a new set of ruins (the Sinjoh Ruins) and watch Arceus create a newborn Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina, all at level one and each holding their respective orbs. This is, so far the only way to get origin forme Giratina in HeartGold and SoulSilver as you cannot trade over the Griseous Orb. The event can be activated twice; once with the movie/TRU Arceus and another time with a Hall of Origin Arceus, although the only way to obtain a Hall of Origin Arceus at this time is through cheating (a YouTube video demonstrating this). Arceus is also in the game Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky. At the final floor at the last dungeon, your hero will find a Silver Arceus Statue. It will give you a very powerful item called a Space Globe, which raises all the active Team Member's Attack stat. Arceus itself does not appear in the game. However, Arceus has a very small role in the end of the Final episode. After beating Primal Dialga and Dusknoir vanishes from the timeline Grovyle and Celebi are about to themselves. However, it is suddenly cancelled and Dusknoir's fading is erased. Dialga (Despite being how the Hero is brought back to the timeline.) says it is not his doing, but another Pokémon's at a much higher power level. Many think that this Pokémon is Arceus, because Arceus is Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina combined and Dialga controls time while Palkia controls Space. In Guardian Signs, he is found the Light Temple along in the Sky Fortress.

- Arceus is the second highest level Pokémon able to be caught in any game, at level 80, while it is the highest level Legendary Pokémon able to be caught, while a level 100 Magikarp (also known as kingkarp) can be found in Pokemon Platinum using the Super Rod in the Resort Area.
- Arceus' ability Multitype, is an ability exclusive only to Arceus. Also, if given a Sky Plate, it becomes the only Pokémon that is only pure Flying-Type as of the Generation IV games, although Tornadus in Generation V is also pure-Flying.
- Arceus holding a Draco Plate is the only pure Dragon-type Legendary Pokémon.
- Arceus's name pronunciation in Pokémon Battle Revolution is Ar-SEE-us, however, this is wrong, compared to the movie's pronunciation of (Which is also the official pronunciation announced by Game Freak) Ar-KEE-us.
- In the movie "Arceus and the Jewel of Life", Arceus was being kept alive by the plates or shards which changed its type. In the Pokémon games, Arceus doesn't have any plates when you encounter it.
- The Greek word 'archaois' means ancient. It then became the English word "archaic" which probably refers to how Arceus created the world and was the first ever Pokémon.
- Arceus moves and looks somewhat like Dialga in the movie.
- Arceus's moveset is also like Mewtwo's: it can't learn every move, but most of them.
- Arceus, besides moving like Dialga, runs in the air like a horse.
- Arceus and Regigigas are the only Normal-type Legendary Pokémon.
- Arceus likely created all of the Legendary Pokémon that have to do with nature (with the exception of Mewtwo and Genesect ).
- Although it is genderless, its voice is that of a male and male characteristics.
- When holding a Toxic Plate, Arceus could be the only Poison-type legendary.
- There is an argument over Mew or Arceus creating all Pokémon as Mew's Pokédex information says "Ancestor of all Pokémon." It is unknown if Arceus created Mew before Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina or Mew was born during or before Arceus.
- Arceus was considered as the God or creator of Pokémon universe based on Sinnoh myth.
- If you have all stats at max with beneficial nature it would have a stat total of 2,304.

The first question:
Osho,My mind has difficulty understanding the existence of "beginninglessness." Would you please talk about it?
Reality is indefinable. Reality simply is; there is no way to say what it is. It is not a "what," it is not even a "that," it is this. It is this-ness: you can experience it, but it cannot be explained.
And reality is beginningless and endless. The mind has a beginning and an end, hence the mind and reality cannot meet. The mind cannot comprehend the eternal. The mind exists in time, in fact the mind is time: it exists in the past and the future. And remember, time consists of only two tenses, past and future. The present is not part of time, the present is part of eternity.
Hence the mind is never found in the present. It is always wavering, either towards the past or towards the future. It moves into that which is not, or into that which is not yet. Its whole skill consists in dreaming. It is rooted in the non-existential, hence it cannot understand existence itself. It is like darkness. How can darkness comprehend light? How can death comprehend life? If death can comprehend life then death will have to be life. If darkness has to comprehend light then darkness will have to be light.
And so is the case with the mind. If the mind wants to comprehend reality, it will have to come out of the past and the future. But coming out of the past and the future, it is no longer the mind at all. Hence the insistence of all the great masters of the world: The door to reality is no-mind.
Slip out of the mind, and you will know what it is: the beginningless, the endless. Remain confined to the mind, and you will be puzzled; reality remains inconceivable.
I cannot explain it to you, because in explaining I will have to use the mind. Trying to understand it, you will have to use the mind. I can be silent with you and if you can also be silent with me, then there is understanding. Understanding is not of the mind. Then there is great intelligence, great insight. Suddenly you know, and you know from a totally different center of your being; you know from the heart. Your knowing has the quality of love, not of knowledge. Your knowing has the quality of transcendence. It is no longer scientific knowledge, reducible to concepts. It is poetic vision, it is mystic experience.
If you really want to understand, you will have to lose the mind. You will have to pay the price of losing the mind. But if you insist, "I have to understand through the mind," then only one thing is possible. The mind will convince you, slowly, slowly, that there is nothing which is beginningless, nothing which is endless, nothing which is indefinable, nothing which is unknowable.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the combination of two currently available therapies — romidepsin and lenalidomide — in patients with lymphoma or multiple myeloma that has returned or persisted despite prior therapy.
Romidepsin is a drug that is approved to treat cutaneous T-cell lymphoma in patients who have already received a regimen of prior therapy. Lenalidomide is approved for treating multiple myeloma and myelodysplastic syndromes. This study marks the first time these two drugs will be evaluated together.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:

Previous to the act of masturbation, an Insurance Piss is the act of urinating immediately after the primary finish. This is to ensure that the individual can avoid cleaning up his Second Wind. (See Second Wind).
Paul was tired of cleaning up his Second Wind, so he began trying an Insurance Piss. This way he could pee and not worry about a secondary clean up.

Hello Columbus!
Written by on October 21, 2004 The 7th Goodguys PPG NatsOhio doesn't get the respect it deserves. A lot of people don't realize that Ohio has the most miles of interstate highway per capita, the most railroad tracks per square mile, and the most miles of roller coasters. It has the most registered motorcycles and the most registered boats. The first gasoline-powered American automobile appeared in Ohio, along with the first traffic light, and the first service station. And most important of all, Ohio claims the most R&C readers (outside of California, that is). That's a lot of hot rodders. We figure most of them were in Columbus in July for the 7th Goodguys PPG Nationals.
We counted more than 6,000 cars at this summer's event. The PPG Nats is open to vehicles through 1972. That means we get to see a lot of great customs in addition to all the rods-and the street machine crowd has plenty to look at too.
One of the reasons people love Goodguys events is the fact that they have a great chance of taking home a trophy-and not just for big-budget, pro-built cars. As Goodguys head honcho Gary Meadors keeps telling us, it's not about tallying up points or searching for technical flaws, it's about digging cool cars, and in Columbus, they gave away more than 100 awards in real-world categories like Garage Grown, Ya Gotta Drive 'Em, Homebuilt Heaven, Chopped & Dropped, and Young Guys Pick.
Of course, the big prizes in Columbus go to the winners of Goodguys Street Machine of the Year and the Street Rod of the Year. Kathy Lange's silver '57 Thunderbird, built by Bobby Alloway, took the Street Machine trophy. As you've probably read in R&C already, the Street Rod award went to Roger Ritzow's traditional but progressive flathead '32 roadster, built by Troy Trepanier.
Just in case our words haven't persuaded you to give Ohio a little more respect, we'll try some photos. Take a look at some of our favorites from Columbus.

Since that time, the full Committee on Executive Reorganization has met to make formal comments on the reorganization activities of the Department and to reiterate some of the concerns and conclusions that Kristine Strachan presented in her report. These comments reaffirm principles that have always guided the Committee in its reorganization work. The first principle of the Committee is that any proposed centralization and/or consolidation of functions and personnel should not result in a duplication of work occurring on the Division level. The second is that for any reorganization proposal which consolidates personnel and thus necessitates a transfer of money, there must be an equal decrease in positions and funds from the agency losing the function. The final principle is that in the preparation of recommendations to the 1983 General Session of the / Legislature, the Committee on Executive Reorganization/1 will support only those recommendations that

Dodgers hoping for Kershaw's home magic
Nationals' Haren seeking fourth straight win
Extremely inconsistent through the first month and a half of the season, the Dodgers have had little to cheer about.
Sitting in last place in the National League West with a record of 15-22, Los Angeles is just 2-5 on its current nine-game homestand.
"Just our team in general -- offensively, our defense at times has let us down, at times our starting pitching hasn't gotten us very far down the road, at times our bullpen has let us down," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "We're trying to work out all facets of what we're doing."
While the team took a 6-2 loss to the Nationals on Monday, the Dodgers will try to ride the success of Clayton Kershaw this season at Dodger Stadium into Tuesday's matchup.
The left-hander is 3-1 with a 0.99 ERA in five starts at home this year. Allowing just two runs (one earned) on five hits in seven innings Wednesday at Chavez Ravine, Kershaw took the no-decision in a 3-2 loss to the D-backs.
Striking out 56 batters in just 55 2/3 innings so far this year, Kershaw has allowed three earned runs or fewer in 20 consecutive starts.
He'll be up against fellow workhorse Dan Haren, who is looking for his fourth straight win. In his last three outings, Haren has combined to allow just seven runs in 20 innings pitched.
He allowed four runs on nine hits in six innings Thursday against the Tigers, improving to 4-3 on the season with a 5.17 ERA.
While Haren felt he could have pitched better in the outing, he also struck out three and walked just one batter.
"I was searching for it all game. I was able to wiggle myself through," Haren said. "It's funny how it works. I held the one through four hitters in check, and then the bottom of the lineup killed me."
Haren will match up against Kershaw for just the second time in his career. In that first start with the D-backs on August 14, 2009, Haren allowed one run in eight innings for the win.
Nationals: Harper exits game
Right fielder Bryce Harper left Monday's game against the Dodgers in the fifth inning after crashing into the right-field wall.
Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis hit the ball to right field when Harper lost sight of it. As the ball hit the bottom of the wall, Harper crashed into it face-first and was shaken up on the play.
Harper was on the ground for several minutes as manager Davey Johnson, center fielder Denard Span and head athletic trainer Lee Kuntz came to his aid. By the time he got up to leave the game, blood was seen under Harper's chin. He ended up needing 11 stitches in his chin, in addition to suffering a jammed left shoulder.
Roger Bernadina replaced Harper in right field.
Dodgers: Greinke's next start undecided
While Zack Greinke wants to pitch for the Dodgers on Wednesday, the team is still concerned that the right-hander could reinjure his left collarbone in a collision.
While he will pitch Wednesday, Los Angeles is still deciding whether Greinke will start at Dodger Stadium against the Nationals or in the Minor Leagues.
"I think it's just risk-reward at this point," Mattingly said before Monday's series opener against the Nationals. "Basically making sure everyone is OK with it."
If the Dodgers decide Greinke is not ready to be activated from the disabled list, rookie Matt Magill would start Wednesday.
Worth noting
• Nats right fielder Jayson Werth most likely will have a rehab assignment with Class A Potomac this week before joining the big league club this weekend in San Diego. Werth is eligible to come off the disabled list Saturday. Werth is on the disabled list because of a slight right hamstring strain, which he hurt against the Braves last month.
• Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti, catcher A.J. Ellis and closer Brandon League visited Dorris Place Elementary School on Monday afternoon in Los Angeles to distribute glasses to students.

Hellickson, Ogando face off in Texas to start series
The Rays' starting pitchers set pretty lofty expectations for themselves. When asked if 6 1/3 innings -- the length of his previous outing -- is the type of start he is looking for, right-hander Jeremy Hellickson scoffed.
"I don't think we should be too excited with six innings," said Hellickson, who took a no-decision after allowing five runs on eight hits against the Blue Jays on Wednesday. "We should be going seven. We're getting enough pitches to do that and we just have to be efficient with them. We'd like to go more than that. I threw 6 1/3 and I felt like I could have gone seven or eight."
Pitching that deep into the game is no easy task when facing the Rangers, Hellickson's opponent on Monday -- his 26th birthday -- at the Ballpark at Arlington. He has fared well against Texas, with a 2.25 ERA in two starts spanning 12 innings.
He'll likely need to be that effective, considering the man who will share the mound with him, Rangers righty Alexi Ogando. The 29-year-old blanked Houston over 6 1/3 innings on Wednesday and tallied 10 strikeouts.
"He was outstanding," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "We were looking for him to build on his progress in Spring Training, and he did exactly what we needed him to do. He was outstanding. He used his changeup, moved the ball in and out and had a good breaking ball. He still didn't have command of his fastball. He's usually able to do that up. But he'll start dotting it up before it's all over."
Ogando was pleased to see his hard work pay off.
"I worked hard in Spring Training on all three of my pitches," Ogando said after his outing. "Today was the result of the hard work. Today was exactly how good all three of those pitches can be."
Ogando allowed one run in 3 2/3 innings (2.45 ERA) in four relief appearances vs. Tampa Bay last year. Overall, he's 0-1 with a 4.82 ERA in eight career games (one start) vs. the Rays in the regular season and has posted three scoreless frames over four relief outings vs. Tampa Bay in his postseason career.
Rays: Hellickson gets Gold Glove
Hellickson received his Gold Glove Award on Sunday, a day after rotation mate David Price was handed his Cy Young Award. Hellickson is the youngest pitcher to win a Gold Glove since 1989.
"I'm really honored to win it," Hellickson said. "I wasn't expecting it. But it was really awesome to win, I like winning it."
• Closer Fernando Rodney has allowed three earned runs this season in just 1 2/3 innings. Last season, Rodney yielded only five earned runs in 74 2/3 frames.
Rangers: Nathan sitting on history
Closer Joe Nathan recorded career save no. 299 in Friday's home opener and is seeking to become the 24th pitcher in Major League history to reach 300. Nathan would tie Jason Isringhausen and Hall of Famer Bruce Sutter for 22nd on the all-time list with his next save, and would join Mariano Rivera (609) as the only active pitchers with at least 300 saves. The only pitcher to reach 300 in a Texas uniform was John Wetteland, who recorded save no. 300 on May 12, 2000, in Anaheim.
• A.J. Pierzynski was the starting catcher for the Rangers' five games and became the first Texas catcher to start the first five since Gerald Laird in 2007. Pierzynski took a day off Sunday, though, and did not match Laird's feat of catching the first six games that year.
Worth noting
• In a low-scoring season series, the Rays won five of nine games against the Rangers last season. Tampa Bay outscored Texas, 39-29.
• Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz has 11 hits in his first 24 at-bats this season. The right fielder played in his 700th career game on Saturday.

High Sierra Community -Youth Orchestra auditions start
The High Sierra Community-Youth Orchestra is rosining bows and blowing horns to invite you to join its musical family.
The Fall 2010/Winter 2011 season starts Wednesday, Oct. 6. Rehearsals will be held at the Quincy Junior-Senior High School band room Wednesdays from 3:30 to 4:50 p.m. every week.
Interested musicians are encouraged to attend the first few rehearsals so they can be "auditioned" and placed into appropriate chairs within the orchestra. All instrumentalists are invited. The orchestra is currently seeking: violins, violas, cellos, basses, flutes, clarinets, oboes, bassoons, trumpets, trombones, French horns, tubas and percussionists. All intermediate to advanced musicians, fifth- to 12th-grade students, and adults are welcome to attend.
The High Sierra Community Youth Orchestra is sponsored by the Central Plumas Recreation District and Face the Music Studio. The orchestra is directed by Johnene McDonald, who is also the founder of the orchestra and the Quincy Stringed Instrument program. The Quincy Stringed Instrument Program was founded in January 1987 through a grant from Plumas Arts and sponsorship of the Central Plumas Recreation District.
The orchestra's first concert will be at the county courthouse in December for the annual county potluck. The orchestra will also perform the first Sunday of May 2011 for the eighth annual spring concert.
"If you are a closet musician and haven't played your instrument for years but are interested in playing again, this is an excellent opportunity to dust off your horn and join an enthusiastic group of friendly musicians," said McDonald.
Those interested in attending the rehearsals or who have questions can contact Johnene Mc Donald at 283-1471.

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (87) celebrates after scoring a touchdown against the Miami Dolphins during the second half at Gillette Stadium. / Mark L. Baer, USA TODAY Sports
It appears Rob Gronkowski's return will have to wait at least another week after all.
The New England Patriots' star tight end had not been cleared as of late Friday night, leaving it unlikely he'll play Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Patriots hadn't definitively announced the status of Gronkowski, who was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report.
Early in the week, the chances appeared strong Gronkowski, 24, would play this week. But Dr. James Andrews, the renowned orthopedist tasked with the making the final determination on Gronkowski's availability, didn't clear him Friday.
Gronkowski underwent surgery June 18 to correct a spinal issue that nagged him last season. He also has had four surgeries on his left forearm, which at one point became infected.
The Patriots activated him from the physically unable to perform list last month, but Gronkowski has been limited in practice and missed the Patriots' first five games, including Sunday's 13-6 loss at Cincinnati.
It remains to be seen how quickly Gronkowski can return to all-pro form considering he has been inactive since the Patriots were eliminated from the playoffs in late January.
Gronkowski has 187 catches for 2,663 yards and 38 touchdowns in three seasons. Coupled with injuries that have limited slot receiver Danny Amendola to two games, the Patriots' offense has scuffled. They rank 21st in the NFL in passing.

I was in the middle of holding a rather uncooperative cat down for a blood draw the other day when my cell phone buzzed notifying me I had a text message.
Once we had obtained our sample and determined that said cat had not extracted any of our blood, I glanced at my phone and saw that the message was from my fishin' buddy, Sean. It was written in text-speak, which sort of resembles ancient Hebrew in that most of the vowels and punctuation are missing, but when all six letters were properly arranged it loosely translated as: "Dude, just got a copy of a new book for us to review. I think you'll like it when you see it. I'll give it to you tomorrow.
Sure enough, the next day at church, Sean handed me a copy of "Fishing for Buffalo – A Guide to the Pursuit and Cuisine of Carp, Suckers, Eelpout, Gar and Other Rough Fish".
By carefully holding my Bible in front of the subtitle and just letting the words "Fishing for Buffalo" show, I was able to convince most casual Sunday observers that Sean had just given me a treatise on evangelizing upstate New York rather than a smack down tome on ghetto fishing – I know, I know — I'm still a work in progress.
Right off the blocks though, I was excited. After a lifetime of reading research papers with titles such as, "Shoaling Preferences and the Effects of Sex Ratio on Spawning and Aggression in Small Laboratory Populations of Zebrafish", a book with a title like "Fishing for Buffalo…" sounded like a an intriguing read.
Naturally, the Buffalo the authors, Rob Buffler and Tom Dickson, are referring to in the title is the large carp-like fish called Buffalo (which, BTW, is found primarily in the Midwest and Mississippi River drainage) and NOT the large, horned mammal of the Great Plains…duh!
Every other born-and-raised barrio brother from East L.A. I spoke with seemed to know that, so I was a bit miffed that I did not learn this vital fact until I read page 33 – blasted public education!
Anyway, I scanned the table of contents and happily noted that all eleven chapters are devoted to the once accepted but now somewhat disreputable pursuit of those North American fish species generally termed "rough fish".
Now, before you send the kids out of the room and intentionally misplace Grandma's glasses, "rough fish" is just a term that is applied to the less charismatic, but sometimes more interesting, fish that inhabit our North American waters. If Trout, Bass, Walleye, and Perch are the freshwater game fish superstars, then Carp, Buffalo, Suckers and the other species highlighted in this book are the rough fish –often ugly, frequently maligned, commonly held in disdain but always fun to catch.
So far, so good?
Well, turns out that the authors carefully, sometimes hilariously, but always interestingly take the reader on a journey explaining the biology, ecology, taxonomy and history of several key species of rough fish as well as how to catch them, how to eat them and (important) how to protect them for future generations.
Besides providing a ton of practical fishing information in a fairly concise manner, they also show how rough fish played a crucial role all throughout the history of North America and are thus deserving of far more respect than is generally shown them.
Several myths, mostly with regard to how these fish tie in to the ecology of a watershed, are dispelled and some good research is presented in an easy to read style.
Overall, I found this 200-page book a delight to read.
I enjoyed the obvious enthusiasm of the authors as well their attention to detail with regard to the science of these fish.
And while most of the species mentioned in the book are found East of the Sierras, there is enough info on Carp, Sturgeon and Catfish to make this a worthwhile addition to the SoCal Anglers library too.
There are line drawings and flow charts a plenty but these are not burdensome and function to help un-muddy that waters as to exactly what fish is what. I found them to be useful and easy to use and a guarantee that this book will not just sit on the shelf but will be thumbed through frequently. There are also lots of pictures, but some are more helpful than others.
Because it is a practical book, should you decide to invest in "Fishing for Buffalo", you might want to consider two copies, one for the library and one for the field. I've found that such an arrangement goes far in the domestic tranquility department, if you catch my drift…something about fish scales clashing with the throw pillows and the smell of Carp not conducive to making visitors want to linger over coffee…
In any event, it is obvious that "Fishing for Buffalo" is a labor of love. I would recommend it and the attitude of shear exuberance that fairly seeps from the pages to anyone who loves fishing and wants to learn more about catching new or forgotten species.
Rough fish – they may not be pretty but they sure are fun!
2 Responses to "FISHING FOR BUFFALO"
what a great book. Check out the interview I did with Tom Dickson earlier this summer: http://www.roughfisher.com/2009/06/roughfishercom-interview-with-tom.html
Agreed. Hope it finds its way into the hands of many anglers. BTW, great interview on roughfisher.com.
