I'll admit it. I once believed in New Year's resolutions.
I have been a member of every health club in town at various times in my 14 years as a Nevada County resident. The junk drawer that was an organized and efficient use of space on a mid-January day has reverted to its chaotic mess of papers, pens, clips and other odds and ends that have no home. I bought laundry baskets to stay organized. The clean basket of unfolded laundry has now become a permanent part of living room decor.
It's not all a loss. I'm old enough to learn from my experience and mistakes. Resolutions, for me, don't work. When I was ready, I found a fitness regime that works and am able to make time in a hectic schedule to keep it going. Turns out, laundry baskets can't actually fold and put away clean clothes. With young children, two dogs and a full-time job, I'm OK with looking at a pile of laundry for a few days.
It's a wrinkled world.
Which is why, when we decided to improve the look and readability of Prospector, we stayed away from resolutions.
You may have noticed some small changes in the past month to the cover. Rather than resolve to improve our publication, we made it happen in time to celebrate the New Year.
The changes are not just skin deep. Prospector is now available for free, in racks and online. Subscribers will still receive it inside The Union, delivered to their home every Thursday. On Saturdays, it is now available in racks around Nevada City, Grass Valley, Penn Valley, Alta Sierra, south county and even north Auburn. That brings the weekly entertainment guide's circulation up to 19,000.
Prospector's reach on entertainment and events in the community is second to none. We are proud to deliver a balanced, diverse publication that focuses on the vibrant Sierra foothills arts scene. As with any change, we welcome your thoughts and ideas to further improve what we do each day.
I hope you enjoy the new look.
Have a happy, safe New Year!

Festive Holiday Tables
Pinecone beauty [1]
White-tipped pinecones atop napkins hold place cards. The soft colors are repeated in white candles wrapped with fat green velvet ribbon attached with pearl-headed pins.
Artful arrangement [5]
Our casual place setting shows simple can be beautiful. Its personality started with a cleverly folded "pocket" napkin. Then we added artfully arranged silverware, a $2 place mat, layered dishes and a frame of grapevine twigs -- all on a table runner cut from bargain burlap.
Arctic inspiration [8]
A frozen environment inspired this serene tabletop in organic colors of gray and winter white. To set the scene, fill a simple centerpiece bowl with rocks and faux snow, and then add some bare branches. Free-form plates paired with frosty glasses and flatware continue the icy theme. Reinforce the idea of a winter landscape with a place mat and accent plates in bark and tree branch motifs. A notched birch branch holds a place card. The prowling polar bear (found in the toy section of a crafts store) feels right at home in this habitat.
Accent plates Textured Botanical. West Elm. (888) 922-4119; westelm.com [9] Dinnerware Lastra, colors: gray and white. Vietri. (919) 245-4180; vietri.com [10] Flatware Pendulum satin. Robert Welsh. robertwelsh.com [11] Place mat Chilewich Faux Bois Driftwood. Crate and Barrel. (800) 967-6696; crateandbarrel.com [12]
Velvet votives [15]
Add sparkle to your tabletop with these easy-to-make candles. Just wrap velvet ribbon around silver votives, and glue on mini pinecones to add a festive touch!
Make it clearly Christmas [18]
Layer silver and paper snowflakes or Christmas-theme confetti between clear plastic plates for frosty fun at the dinner table.
Santa baby [21]
This setting looks like the jolly old fellow created it himself. A classic red-and-green color scheme highlights white accent dishware molded in St. Nick's likeness (similar pieces are easy to find around the holidays).
Make place cards by gluing black-and-white copies of family members' baby photos onto red craft paper and decorating with paper Santa hats and pom-poms. Prop them on candy cane tripods made by hot-gluing three canes together. White napkins fold up to act as cuffs on Santa's red gloves, which hold crinkled ribbonlike silverware and crisp red napkins. Candies and bottle brush trees complete the playful look.
Dinnerware Cherry Color Burst. Oneida. (888) 263-7195; oneida.com [22] Flatware Ori. Oneida. (888) 263-7195; oneida.com [22] Salad Plate Santa white canape. Vietri. (919) 245-4180; vietri.com [10] (Please note that mat has been discontinued.)
Bell-issimo! [25]
Inexpensive gold bells on a snow-white tablecloth start this modern scene. Sprinkle glittery "snow" onto foam trees wearing a light coat of spray-on glue; add bells as treetoppers. An upside-down wineglass filled with shredded tinsel is another sparkly tree shape. Pine boughs in glass vases filled with the same sparkly "snow" make an easy centerpiece. Fold white napkins like trees and add garlands of gold ribbon. For a take-home gift (and place card) fill a glass ornament with tiny bells and tag with your guest's initial.
Dinnerware Urban Nature. Villeroy and Boch. villeroy-boch.com [26] Flatware Alessandro Gold. Oneida. (888) 263-7195; oneida.com [22]
Let it snow [29]
A blizzard of snowflakes enhances this tableau. Use assorted-size paper, plastic or felt snowflakes as coasters or place mats. Or toss them across the table. Add "snowballs" to the mix with different-size pom-poms. Frosted white ornaments and pom-poms fill a bowl for a super simple centerpiece. Hot-glue a name card to a pom-pom attached to a snowflake base as a place card. The polka-dot plate and flatware inspired the falling snow motif (made with self-adhesive dots) on the water glass. The red-and-white-only color scheme keeps things fresh.
Dinnerware Rosso Vecchio Dot. Vietri. (919) 245-4180; vietri.com [10] Flatware Larabee Dot. Kate Spade. (866) 999-5283; katespade.com [30]
Wrapping paper accents [33]
Turn colorful, graphic designs into bargain Christmas decor for your table.
Easy napkin rings: Fashion wrapping paper scraps into simple, seasonal napkin rings. Mount paper to card stock. Cut 1x10-inch strips. Starting 1-3/4 inches from one end of a strip, create a 1-1/4 inch slit. Wrap strip around a napkin, pulling the opposite end through the opening. A felt snowflake adds finishing frill.
Colorful name card holders: Wrapping paper scraps can make merry place card holders. Glue paper to both sides of a 3x5-inch piece of card stock. Fold in half, leaving a 1/2 inch lip to fold up as the card holder. For extra cheer, write names in holiday colors, or "give" guests names from classic Christmas tales and let them pick their seats.
Tiny tree table [36]
Out-of-the-ordinary vessels will make tiny evergreens stand out.
Here, foot-high yews, with root balls nestled in moss, look fresh lined up in a galvanized tray. Anchor with white and purple eggplants for an all-natural look. Use eggcups with tiny juniper sprigs to create "trees" at place settings; fill the cup bases with spice berries and pinecones. Linen napkins wrapped with green ribbon complete the organic look.
Instant decoration [40]
Thread bells on ribbon and scatter a few tree ornaments for an instant table decoration. A sprig of aromatic rosemary adds a touch of green to folded napkin pockets. Shown on plate: Turkey Breast a la Porketta, a pork roast invented by Italian and Portuguese immigrants in Iron Country.
Golden touch [44]
Create an elegant look with gold-rimmed plates and flatware. Small gifts wrapped in bright red paper are a fun way to start your gathering. Display a special message to each guest with a decorated card on a stand.
Dress up chairs [48]
Add to the appeal of your holiday table by dressing up chair backs. Here, we draped the chair with a yard of soft white fabric tied in a square knot, added a purchased twig wreath, and held it all together with a fat red ribbon and glued nametag.
Edible place cards [51]
Eye-catching fruit like these Anjou pears makes a perfect platform for place cards.
Keep it super-simple [54]
White plates provide a pretty contrast against a red charger and red tablecloth. A simple striped ribbon adds just the right touch of color to the white napkin.
Lovely layers [57]
For a quick and easy casual presentation, fold napkins into a square and top with an evergreen sprig and a pretty ornament, such as this crocheted star.
Fragrant decor [60]
For a fragrant chair-back decoration, bundle bay leaf, thyme, rosemary and marjoram with twine. Bouquets can be made several days in advance, then refrigerated. Once dry, use them for cooking!
Red-and-white all over [63]
Centerpieces of red-and-white carnations set the tone for this table. Complete the setting with clear glass jars filled with mints, peppermints scattered on the table, red-and-white ornaments and more.
Initial it [66]
Create cute letter shapes for your place settings with red-and-white pipe cleaners. Add a sprig of fresh greenery for color.

My Darling Lemon Thyme | The Cookbook...
So I've been sitting on some pretty damn exciting news for the past few months... you may or may not have noticed that my posting rate has dropped somewhat and while some of it has been caused by train-wreck weeks and trips to the beach... mostly I've been quiet around here because I've been busy writing a cookbook!!! Ekkkkkk!
I can't say too much at this stage but I'm super excited to be publishing with Harper Collins Publishers (New Zealand) and over the coming months will be busy pulling together the book that I have dreamt of writing for as long as I can remember. It will be out some time towards the end of next year and don't you worry, I'll keep you all in the loop along the way and you'll all be the first to know details as soon as I can share more. We are taking the kids home to NZ for a holiday and to take a bunch of the photos in my home town of Raglan early next year too, which I am beyond excited about!
Thank you all so much for stopping by over the past few years, without your support my lofty idea to write a cookbook would never have eventuated. I'm still going to try my hardest to get at least one post up here a week, but if that slows down every now and then, you know why :-)
Lotsa love always
Emm xx
P.S That cute photo above is of Ada's cookbook that she whipped up in a matter or minutes all the while saying to me "why can't you write a cookbook as fast as I can mum?". Haha, if only love.

I am happy today because someone made me smile, and I'm still smiling today. I'll take that kind of uncomplicated happy.
I am happy today because someone made me smile, and I'm still smiling today. I'll take that kind of uncomplicated happy.
I'm happy today because after being sick with a very high fever all weekend, my little Ty is feeling better today.
1. It is my day off (I worked both days on the weekend).
2. I am going downtown (yee haw!).
3. While I am down there I am going to rejoin Weight Watchers. OK - don't laugh... I am a lifetime member and achieved my weight goal when I was 40 but now that I am older and have such a sedentary job the pounds are creeping back on.
4. I think that is it (except for being online with the SKMB - that always makes me happy!).
I am happy today because we're getting some much needed rain right now, and because I love rain.
No laughing here. I'm a lifetime member, too. This latest round makes my third time being a lifetime member. Good for you for getting back on the program as it does get harder as we get older to keep the pounds off especially if we don't exercise as much. That, combined with backstabbing hormones that sabotage our efforts to lose weight as we age, can make it discouraging but the program does work. This time around, I decided just last week to go back to attending meetings for a while especially during the holidays to make sure the 3-4 pounds I'd put back on don't creep up to 10 and then 15 and so on and be right back where I started. So far, so good but will find out Wednesday if it's been good enough. Best of luck!
Way to go Nessy and MsMod

Tomlin: Costing PIT the 3rd Seed
Dec 30, 2007 at 17:40 »
As I'm writing this, the Raiders are fighting valiantly against the Chargers, with the score 24-17 SD.
Meanwhile, the Steelers just punted on 4th down in Ravens territory, down by 20 in the 4th quarter.
Even if the Chargers win, guaranteeing them the 3rd seed regardless, does anyone else think it was premature to not even start any of the Steelers' best players?
I'm not sure what's better- going into the playoffs rested, but just having your team's confidence shaken by having the fuck kicked out of them by one of the worst teams in the AFC this year...
...or risking the slight chance of injury to win the game, have actual momentum going into the playoffs, and a shot at the 3rd seed.
As enamored as I was with the Tomlin hire, I'm not feeling nearly as good about it now. Scrubs or not, this team came out totally fucking flat yet again- a hallmark thus far in Tomlin's tenure- and seems content to get bent over and donkeypunched by their biggest rival in football.

I don't care if Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy are black. Good for them. But that doesn't change the way I feel about them. The longer we keep looking at guys like Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith as "BLACK HEAD COACHES" as opposed to just "coaches" the longer race will continue to be a problem. --DoctorJohnnyFever

It's over in Oakland so it doesn't matter much. I have no problem resting Ben, Hines, and Troy. That's the only people he rested. I would much rather have a healthy Ben for Jax then a still beat up gimpy one. 3rd seed, 4th seed, it doesn't matter much and moot anyway since SD won.
The team does come out flat alot and it has to relect on Tomlin. Also he makes incredibly bad challenges like the one today that cost a much needed TO. Otherwise I think he has done OK. Nice onsides kick call today. Goes for it on 4th regularly. Need an OL and an OC and things will be better..
No longer a N00b!

Anyone who was listed on the injury report today should have been in street clothes on the sidelines. The Duce Staley officially licensed gear.
Holmes and Farrior by the way, basically limped off the field in the fourth quarter. They - Holmes in particular - should have been out before then. We need these guys next week, regardless of what seed we are, more than we needed them this week.

I guess you can argue it both ways, so I'll just respect the difference in opinion and move on.
Still, success in the playoffs is usually all about momentum. New England may have rendered that moot this year for all the other teams in the AFC, but I know the Steelers would have had a lot more going had they finished the season on a 2-game win streak, rather than laying a relative egg today against Baltimore.
Jacksonville lost though as well, so hopefully Tomlin's decision to keep the key players healthy over having momentum pays off.

Like the year the Steelers ran roughshod over the AFC and ended the season 15-1? Only to need miraculously poor play from kicking.com founder Dougie Brien to advance against the inferior Jets?
Momentum. Schmomentum. You've gotta have people healthy when it counts and that is in the playoff games, of course.
If somebody is not able to be mentally prepared and understanding what stakes are on the line come next week then its on them (and they are probably overpaid, overrated dumbass corners who spent most of their collegiate careers as academically ineligible RBs in 1-AA or something). Nobody is gonna be waking up in a cold sweat this week having flashbacks about today's game to the point that the haunting will affect their play come money time.
The argument can go either way obviously. I just don't think this game meant anything in the grand scheme. Entering the playoffs with as many healthy guns as possible is/was essential.
And since when are the B-side Ravens the Steelers biggest rival in football?
Steelers 58-15 when I am in attendance.

I would say the subtraction of Arron Smith was probably the biggest reason why we dont have the #3 seed.
and Im kind of hoping the defensive starters were going through the motions today. they were flat out a joke.

Momentum. Schmomentum.
To play devil's advocate, I think the '04 reference is very apro pos...to support the OP's point.
Pittsburgh was rolling that year and played well down the stretch because they had to in order to lock down the #1. So, they got a first round bye and came out flat against the crappy Jets...at home.
The game against the Ravens felt a lot like '04 to me. It felt like they were treating it as their bye.
Yeah, they said all the right things...publicly. But, when you say stuff like, "we're playing to win the game," while players who would've normally played if it was a "must win" are sitting on the sidelines, how is that going to affect the rest of the squad?
Negatively, I'd say.
I'm still of the belief that this team is going to be really out of sync on Saturday. I hope to God that they prove me wrong there, but for a group that has been struggling to find and maintain any kind of rhythm, an "off" week isn't what they needed.
Gimmee a half; maybe a quarter, minimum, of full strength, all hands on deck effort and play it from there. Have everybody prepare and ready to execute. IMO, that does a better job of keeping the rust off and players fresh. Don't pack it in on Tuesday for certain players. Letting guys coast through the final week of the season breeds laziness...complacenc
y. IMO, those guys won't stay sharp.
Again, hope I'm 100% dead-fucking-wrong.

This team, especially with the injuries, reminds me a lot more of 2002 than 2004. Suspect pass defense, less than overpowering run game, potential to score heavily through the air if the QB was upright. To make it fair comparison, though, I'd at least want Starks playing. At least in 2004, we did lose to the SB champs. This year's team is closer to a true #6 seed as currently configured.
But I will watch as much of it Saturday as I can.

No new hearings for Michigan juvenile lifers
July 8, 2014 | AP
The court's decision Tuesday is a defeat for prisoners who had hoped to benefit from a landmark 2012 U.S. Supreme Court case.
The U.S. Supreme Court said juveniles should not automatically be hit with the same mandatory punishment given to adults. But since then, states have struggled over whether to apply the ruling retroactively to thousands of convicts sent to prison years ago.
The Michigan court said there will be no retroactive treatment in this state.
Attorney General Bill Schuette had argued that families of victims should not be forced to return to court for yet another look at tragic events.

An Open Thread for Independence Day Weekend
By Rebecca Teti
Here's an open thread for this Independence Day weekend. How are you observing the Fourth of July? (Or add anything else you'd like to talk about!)
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
This is the Open Forum Coffee Talk. That means ... anything goes. Ask a question, make a suggestion, share a story, offer some advice -- the floor is yours!
My husband had to work today (he's still not home, but hopefully will be soon). My son went to camp this morning (his preschool teacher runs a morning camp out of her home, one week in July and one week in August). He did some 4th of July activities there, and he then he and I went to the park and came home to do a 4th of July craft. It is too hot to eat outside, so we're going to eat in the diningroom. I decorated the table in red, white and blue. We're having pasta, a very non-traditional 4th of July menu. If my husband had the day off we would probably grill burgers and hot dogs, but I hate to make him grill after working all day. For dessert we're going to have cake with red and blue sprinkles. Not exactly a banner 4th of July, but the best I could come up with given the heat and the fact that my husband had to work.
You can file this one away for next year -- Uncle Sam Ice Cream Cones. Quick, easy, and really cute. I've been making them every 4th for years, although they never turn out quite as darling as the ones in the photo. http://disney.go.com/disneyjunior/print/?id=1869144 This year I frosted the cones with some leftover white frosting and put red and blue sprinkles around the rim. Easier than dealing with fruit leather and decorating gel!
That's awesome Anne! Thanks for sharing. Too bad we didn't have an open 4th of July forum ahead of time to exchange ideas!
I was blessed with the opportunity to spend Indpendence Day running and exploring with my family in Acadia National Park. Our National Parks are a wonderful blessing...God's creation protected by government employees and maintained by our tax dollars -- a great example of the good America does for its citizens and the world...preserving our nation's natural resources and beauty. I cannot help but feel God's love for all mankind in such a beautiful place. I cannot help but feel gratitude for the gift of life in America when I am in Acadia.
That sounds like a lot of fun! My appreciation for parks has really increased since becoming a mother. Some of our best family outings have been at parks. There's always something for everyone. And for a little kid, a picnic in the park is the best!

AP source: Duncan to stay at education department
Monday - 1/14/2013, 3:55pm EST
By PHILIP ELLIOTT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - An Education Department official says Secretary Arne Duncan will remain in President Barack Obama's Cabinet into a second term.
The official disclosed the decision Monday on the condition of anonymity because a public announcement has not been made.
Duncan, a former head of Chicago public schools, was widely expected to stick around. He is a former college basketball player who often joins Obama on the court.
During his first term, Duncan put in place the Race to the Top program that encouraged schools to compete for education dollars. Duncan's department also gave most states exemptions to the No Child Left Behind law when it became clear that they would not be able to meet the requirement that all students be proficient at grade level in math and reading by 2014.

Rose Syracuse is retiring as the longest-serving employee in Macy's history.
The 92-year-old started working at Macy's in New York in 1939.
"This was my first job and I didn't go anyplace else," Syracuse, told The Daily News. "I was happy here."
Syracuse worked behind the scenes at the flagship store, where she got her job after passing a math and typing test. She went on to work for decades in the store's phone and mail order department, until the Internet made her job obsolete.
For the last three years she has worked on archival projects for the department that organizes the parade and other special events. A broken hip sustained in a fall months ago forced the brand's oldest employee into retirement. Despite no longer working at the store, she insists that she will always remain a customer.

Super Lustrous Lipstick
Super Lustrous Lipsticks are fantastic.
Age Defying with DNA Advantage Concealer
We have to give Revlon kudos for this concealer that is formulated with several skin-beneficial ingredients.
Add to Faves?
Revlon At-A-Glance
Strengths: Superior foundations with sunscreen and each of them provide sufficient UVA protection (though one has a disappointing SPF 6); several outstanding concealers and powders; one of the best cream blushes around; great cream eyeshadow and liquid eyeliner; a beautiful selection of elegant lipsticks, lip gloss, and lipliner; some worthwhile specialty products.
Weaknesses: Average eye and brow pencils; inaccurate claims surrounding their Botafirm complex; mostly average to disappointing mascaras.
It may surprise some of you to know that Revlon has been around since 1932, when the company launched a unique nail polish that used pigments instead of dyes. Lipsticks followed years later, and then a full line of cosmetics, which is how we know Revlon today. Although the company has had its continual share of ups and downs over the years (largely due to out-of-control debt coupled with aggressive spending), the line has recently made numerous improvements, especially in the realms of foundations, powders, eyeshadows, and mascaras. It is quite a feat that Revlon products earned more Paula's Pick ratings per category than any other drugstore line reviewed. If their goal was to close the competitive gap between themselves and L'Oreal, for the most part they have succeeded. Revlon definitely has the edge for foundations with reliable sunscreens. But despite Revlon's attempt to improve their mascara range, L'Oreal remains the clear winner (as well as L'Oreal-owned Maybelline New York).
Revlon's vast selection of makeup is divided into three main brands: Age Defying for the forty-something and older woman concerned about wrinkles, ColorStay for the teen to mid-thirties woman concerned about keeping oily skin in check and making sure her makeup stays put, and PhotoReady for women of all ages. These brands present some outstanding options and include products for all skin types (although the range of skin tones is not as well-represented here as it is by L'Oreal).
An intriguing fact is that the longevity claims for ColorStay are quite accurate: this collection of products really does offer extraordinary staying power. Conversely, Revlon jumped on the works-like-Botox bandwagon with their Age Defying range, going so far as to name their antiwrinkle complex Botafirm. Is there any confusion about what that term is supposed to relate to? Despite the claims, Botafirm won't reduce expression lines or control the muscles that cause them, though the products themselves do have many impressive qualities.
Note:Revlon is categorized as one that tests on animals because their products are sold in China. Although Revlon may not conduct animal testing for their products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brand's state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law". Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Beautypedia Team.
Suffice it to say, Revlon has more commendable products than ever before, and although they rely heavily on celebrity spokespersons, their best products ably speak for themselves.
For more information about Revlon, call (800) 473-8566 or visit www.revlon.com.

Hamels, Fernandez enter rematch on opposite paths
Lefty has turned season around since April 13; rookie has struggled
After two ugly starts to begin the season, Cole Hamels righted the ship with a solid outing against the Marlins on April 13. The Phillies left-hander has kept it going ever since and now will face Miami again on Saturday night at Citizens Bank Park.
Hamels is matched up with rookie Jose Fernandez as the Phillies try to win their third straight against the Marlins. Miami has lost three consecutive games since putting together its first winning streak of the year.
Hamels owned a 10.97 ERA before holding the Marlins to one run over six innings in a start at Marlins Park. He has a 2.33 ERA in his past four starts, with 27 strikeouts in 27 innings.
On Sunday against the Mets, Hamels finally notched his first victory of the season. He tied a career high with six walks, but struck out eight and gave up one run on two hits in six innings.
"It wasn't any particular pitch," said Hamels. "I was able to throw them all for both strikes and for balls.
"I wasn't able to get ahead of hitters, so I just tried to plug away, not let the game get out of hand. You would rather give up hits than walk everybody and much rather go deeper into the ballgame. But sometimes you have to shake your head and move on."
Fernandez is 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA, as the Marlins have been conservative with the 20-year-old's workload. He has thrown between 79 and 85 pitches in each of his five starts, logging more than five innings only once, and the club will limit him to 150-170 innings for the season.
However, Fernandez's pitch counts could be bumped up soon.
"I'm happy. I'm getting a lot of work in, a lot of experience," the rookie said. "I'd take that over throwing 150 pitches [in a game]. I'm learning so much that the only place I think I could learn this much is here. I'm happy with the way things are going. I'm going to keep working hard and hope to have a chance to help my team win every time out."
Since tossing six scoreless innings against the Phillies in that April 13 meeting with Hamels, Fernandez has a 7.62 ERA over his past three starts, surrendering 15 hits and eight walks in 13 innings. But he's soaking up a lot of knowledge along the way.
"Adjustments. You've got to make a lot of adjustments between starts," Fernandez said. "They look at the videos. Little things, like coming to the field every day and getting your work in and getting everything done the right way. I'm learning, watching the games out there. Watching guys' swings. Things I didn't look at in the Minor Leagues because I didn't care. Here, I am watching. I see what they're doing. I see what they're doing in the on-deck circle. Little things. I think those things will help in the long run."
Marlins: Lineup likely to change for lefty
• With Hamels on the mound, Marlins manager Mike Redmond could get a couple of extra right-handed bats in the lineup. One of those probably will be catcher Miguel Olivo.
Another could be outfielder Matt Diaz, who hasn't started since coming up from Triple-A New Orleans on Thursday. Diaz made his Marlins debut in Friday's seventh inning and struck out with the bases loaded as a pinch-hitter before staying in to play left field.
• Rookie right fielder Marcell Ozuna has hit safely in all four games since coming up from Double-A Jacksonville. He went 2-for-4 with a double on Friday and is 6-for-15 overall.
• Left fielder Juan Pierre notched the 601st stolen base of his career on Friday.
Phillies: Brown, Howard getting it going
• Left fielder Domonic Brown and first baseman Ryan Howard both smacked home runs on Friday to continue to their recent runs of success after rough starts.
Brown, who had a huge Spring Training at the plate, was batting .206 through April 23. In nine games since, he has gone 13-for-34 (.382) with three homers, two doubles and eight RBIs.
Howard has hit safely in 13 of his past 14 games, going 17-for-50 (.340) with four homers, five doubles and 13 RBIs.
• Catcher Carlos Ruiz picked up his second hit in four games and is batting .133 with five strikeouts since joining the team.
Worth noting
• Fernandez struck out 13 batters in his first two starts and 10 in his past three.
• Diaz has the most experience against Hamels of any Marlins player, going 11-for-41 (.268) with one home run and six strikeouts.

Each year the Harley-Davidson stockholder's meeting heralds the "unofficial" start of spring in the Milwaukee area, and for the past two years, the HD faithful have celebrated that event at the annual meeting in their iron and steel church, The Harley-Davidson museum.
But, this year Harley was shut out of their own museum and will be forced to hold their stockholders meeting at the Frontier Airlines Center instead.
According to published reports, another group had already secured the museum's meeting room for the April 30th date.
"We couldn't get the space," Harley-Davidson spokesman Bob Klein told the Milwaukee Business Journal, "There is another group that booked the site."
While most shareholder meetings of corporations are small events, with few attendees other than management, Harley-Davidson's annual meeting is larger, with several hundred stockholders riding in from all over the USA.
Klien told the Milwaukee Business Journal he expects this year's crowd to be about average.

Second submission for this months challenge.Funnel Cake Pizza with Dried Apples and Ice CreamThe Funnel Cake Pizza was dressed with powdered sugar, vanilla ice cream, dried apples which were cooked and then these ingredients were added: (sugar, juice of ½ lemon, cinnamon, and dash of salt) After mixing this, the mixture was put back on the stove with added corn starch to thicken the mixture.I like the nice and airy crumb, always! Norma
My entry for this months Monthly Challenge is a crustless deep-dish pizza. The idea for this type of pizza came to me when I was researching deep-dish pizzas sold by Malnatis, the famous purveyor of deep-dish pizzas in the Chicago area. The photos below show the finished pizza. I thought it turned out quite well. However, it was different than a typical crusted deep-dish pizza for which I have developed a fond attachment. Yet the flavors were very good. I later decided that I would use various toppings on leftover slices to be reheated in my toaster oven. The last photo shows a slice that I reheated with sautéed diced green pepper, sliced mushrooms, onions (caramelized) and pepperoni slices. Peter

Intel supports 3.1, at least on some of their hardware. (Sandybridge and up i think)
Edit: i think glxinfo only loads the old 3.0 version, because it isn't setup to automatically try the core profiles. there is a command line switch you can use to do that i think.
Gallium drivers still need UBO and TBO support for 3.1. Then once somebody adds geometry shaders 3.3 should be extremely close. I know one of the devs was working on that, but i haven't heard anything for a while.

Portland's Immigration wall is a great way to remember those ancestors who first set foot in Australia at the harbour town. Located on the "Ploughed Field" opposite the Portland hospital and overlooking Portland Bay, the wall has plaques unveiled by grateful descendants of early pioneers to the south-west of Victoria.
The "Ploughed Field" is where Edward Henty ploughed the first sod of earth in Victoria in 1834 with the Henty plough, on display at Portland's History House.
Some of the families remembered:
Both William and Isabella Robb are buried at the Old Portland Cemetery.
I know a little of Richard and Jane Price thanks to their grandson's marriage to my first cousin 3 x removed. Allan James Price married Ada Harman, daughter of Alfred Harman, in 1911. One of the organisers, Lynn Price, invited me to the unveiling of the plaque and family reunion in 2009. I met Lynn via the Rootsweb Western District mailing list. It was disappointing I was unable to attend as a lot of time has gone into remembering the Price family. This is seen at the Price family website. It has photos of the reunion as well as a later event, the unveiling of headstone for Richard and Jane at the Heywood cemetery in 2010.
For more information on how you can see your family on the Immigration Wall, go to the Glenelg Shire website.
I hope one day plaques will be on the wall for my ggg grandparents James and Sarah Harman and William and Margaret Diwell and daughters Elizabeth and Sarah Diwell, all of whom first set foot on Australian shores at Portland Bay off the "Duke of Richmond".

This album.... KICK ASS \m/. It is one of my favourites
SLAYER \m/
I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...Slayer is one of the best thrash band that has existed in the history of music, along with Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax. No doubt his best song (actually all the best) is "Angel of Death", always listen to way to school. I feel that members are metalheads at heart. So I say ... THANKS SLAYER, Jeff, Kerry, Dave and especially to Tom, and we're like brothers because we were both born in CHILE \ m /

How to lock the screen in GNOME
I'm sure that many of you are used with the <Win>+<L> key combination in
windows, to lock the screen. In Ubuntu (the distro I use), the
corespondent shortcut is <CTRL>+<ALT>+<L>. But, in many other distros
there is no shortcut for this command. Here is what you can do to assign a shortcut for locking the screen. (In order to do that, you have to activate the Win key. Read "How to use the Win key in Linux" to find out how to do it.)
Open the gconf-editor by typing "gconf-editor" in the terminal.
nongeek@mma:~$ gconf-editor
Go to: apps>metacity>keybinding_commands
How to use the Window-keys in Linux (GNOME)
If in Windows you were used with the Win key combinations, perhaps you would like to use it in Linux too. Here is a short tutorial about how to activate the Win keys in Linux.
First we will set the Windows key behaviour.
Go to System>Preferences>Keyboard.
Go to the Layouts tab and press the Layout Options button.
Open the Alt/Win key option.
Select the "Super is mapped to the Win-keys" behaviour.
Close the windows.
Now, that we have set the key behaviour, let's make some Windows like shortcuts.
Go to System>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts.
Go to Window Management section.
Search for "Hide all windows and focus desktop". Click on it.
Now will change the default shortcut with the one we want. Press the <WIN><D> combination.
Close the window and test your new shortcut. It works?
Now you can use the Win-keys the same way as in Windows or create the combinations you like.
For a tutorial about locking the screen with <Win>L in other distros then Ubuntu read the "How to lock the screen in GNOME" article.
For a list of most used GNOME and Nautilus shortcuts read "Top 15 shortcut keys in gnome and nautilus"

Artisan: Noah's Ark
In the 1980s there were no fair trade opportunities for local artisans in Moradabad, India. Skilled craftspeople were routinely taken advantage of by export companies operating in the area, and living wages were nearly impossible to come by. Local businessman Samuel Masih saw an opportunity to build a business that would reward artisans with fair wages while exporting beautiful handicrafts. He started Noah's Ark in his home in 1986 with the goal of creating new economic opportunity in the community.
Two years later, Noah's Ark entered the world stage with its first large order from a florist in the U.S. Soon other large orders began flooding in, attracting the attention of the Tear Fund, Artisanat-SEL, Goed Werk, TEAM, and Oxfam Australia, which contributed to even more growth. Today, Noah's Ark works with more than 100 artisan groups involving more than 600 people in Moradabad, Saharanpur, Nagina, Jaipur, Sari Tarin, Delhi, Hapur, Firozabad and Amritsar, paying 10-15% more than other companies in those areas. In 2000, the Noah's Handicrafts and Welfare Society was founded to benefit artisan welfare, children's education, community development, and social work.
Artisan Anwar Saleem, age 27, is a second-generation lantern and lamp maker. His parents died when he was only 18, leaving him responsible for his three younger siblings. He went to work for his uncle, learning the craft of coloring and lacquering lanterns. Unfortunately, his uncle was unable to pay him a living wage and the family suffered. After a couple of years, Anwar was able find employment with Noah's Ark. The fair wages Anwar received turned his family's life around. As he explains, "While working directly with Noah's Ark I was able to save good enough money to do my family responsibilities, then they encouraged me to do some manufacturing work from my home. I got married and also I was able to do marriages of my sisters." Anwar now has his own workshop with seven regular employees and 15 contracted artisans.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Deborah Pirollo on WhitePages
Meaning & Origins
Biblical name (meaning 'bee' in Hebrew), borne by the nurse of Rebecca (Genesis 35:8) and by a woman judge and prophet (Judges 4–5) who led the Israelites to victory over the Canaanites. It has always been popular as a Jewish name. It was in use among Christians by the mid 16th century and was taken up by the Puritans in the 17th century, in part because the bee was a symbol of industriousness. Since then it has enjoyed enormous popularity, peaking in the 1960s. Among other famous bearers is the actress Deborah Kerr (1921–2007).
