Here's a sampling of what some folks are saying:
5/29 - Walsh County, Northeast North Dakota: Started seeding on Fri. May 21, ground really not fit to seed into, but it went ok. Many farmers got going about the same time around here. Sat. and Sunday were good, then a big rain on Memorial Day, from 2 to 4 inches. We might get going again by June 1, if we don't get any more rain. Much of the northeast quarter of the state will not get seeded. I went to Fargo this week; drove past miles of corn fields where the stalks had been burned off, and nothing else done with the ground. Our farm is about 11% seeded, many neighbors are less than that, some have more. Big question in this northern part of ND is "how late do we dare seed before the fall frost kills an immature crop?"
The small amount of wheat in the area looks good with little disease due to lack of moisture, pastures and grass hay will be short, 1st cutting of alfalfa is up. Potential for good crops but as always rain makes grain in this area (no irrigation).
5/28 - Western Kentucky: From Marion to Princeton through Wallonia to Hopkinsville, then north to Henderson and then east to Owensboro there are very few cornfields and of those, there is very little that looks good. The best is in Christian county near Gracey. Most fields have spotty stands, drowned out areas, and are yellow, if they are up at all. Many fields have been replanted at least partially and are just now coming up. There are several stalk fields that look like nothing has been done. Only one planter was running today, near Henderson on the Audubon Parkway, and it rained after I went through. We can still make a crop, if it keeps raining. If it doesn't get too hot during pollination. If it doesn't get down from a big wind in September. At least the wheat looks good and the pastures are good.
5/27 - Iroquois County, Illinois: A lot of corn is going in the ground right now. These are the worst conditions I have seen in over 40 years of farming. Everyone is mudding it in to get done and going around wet pockets in a lot of fields. We are going to have to have perfect weather for this crop to be just average.

5/27 - St. Clair/Madison Counties, Southwest Illinois: Varied progress this weekend. Some planters were put away for the weekend Saturday morning when up to 1/2 " fell in the middle of the county, while others were able to go until Monday when again varied rainfall fell with totals anywhere from a couple tenths to areas to 4-8 inches or maybe more in some areas of central Madison County. We have about ½ of our corn in. Some are nearly done with some barely started and some will have significant replanting to do. I'd put corn planting at around 50% with a lot of variability as you drive around. Wheat looks decent on the higher ground, but some of the low lying or flat fields are showing some lighter coloring. Looks like overall a decent crop, but in this area that is on very limited acres. I've heard of a bean field or two planted, but haven't seen any with my own eyes.
5/26 - Carroll County, Illinois: Drove from Charleston, IL. to Chadwick (Carroll County). The only corn we saw up enough to see the rows were two fields south of Rock Falls (Whiteside Co) and two fields south of Milledgeville (Carroll Co.) Then we got three miles east of Chadwick and all the fields were up most of the way home, three miles west of Chadwick. Carroll Co does seem blessed most years.

5/22 - Westminster, Maryland: Pam Smith, Farm Journal Seeds & Production Editor: Tommy Dell, of Westminster, Md., is planting a wheat cover crop to protect the Chesapeake Bay.
5/22 - Houston County, Minnesota: Finished our beans 2 days ago. Everything is in record time for us. Timely rains. Warm temps are here and 1st crop hay will be huge. Sounds great, huh? Sat down and penciled out what we can expect next fall for profits on the corn and beans if all goes well. Basically, if we donate our labor there is a profit. Slightly more than renting it out. 50% of our farm is in hay/grass this year. Next year even more goes into hay. Beef herd will grow in size accordingly. Tired of working to make the likes of Con Agra and Monsanto rich.
5/21 - Jefferson County, Iowa:Iowa may have 90% corn planted, but 50% of that went in when the ground was TOO wet.
5/21 - Chippewa County, Wisconsin: 87 degrees and windy so what's new wind blows everyday corn and beans all in we are dry hay needs rain now we are in an extreme drought tired of hearing complaints of to much rain.
5/20 - Sioux County, Iowa: Most planting done. We need rain.
5/20 - Nueces County, South Texas: Extreme drought continues. 98+ percent of cotton acres zeroed out. 1.9 inches of rain for the year (9.5 is average). Adjusters are out looking at grain sorghum fields today. How do you forgive someone who drives through your best grain?
-- Nueces County, South Texas
5/20 - Wash County, Northeast North Dakota: Finally got into the field last evening with a coulter-cutter machine. It looked relatively dry from the road, and not too bad driving a pickup across some ground....but it was a different story when I got out there with a tractor....made a couple rounds in 4 fields and went home. Good thing our tractor has triples on it, or we would be pulling it out this morning. The local coop buried their fert. floater yesterday, took 2 big 4X4 tractors to get it out.
5/19 - West Central Missouri: We had been feeling pretty good about finding a window to plant the last weekend of April, but in this area every acre of corn that was planted the last of April is being replanted. Downpours and cold weather killed the seed. We replanted some May15th and should get more replanted in the next couple of days. No beans in the ground yet.
5/19 - Kearny County, Southwest Kansas:Wheat crop here is starting to go down hill. We had no winter moisture at all until the end of March. We then received about 2.5" in the part of the county I farm in. This moisture came in about three weeks. Our wheat up until about a few weeks ago was looking good. Our wheat is heading out now or is headed out. Starting to see allot of wheat that won't even head out now due to the drought again. There is allot of sick wheat out here. There is allot of thin wheat, wheat with Barley yellow dwarf and wheat streak mosaic showing up. Now we can't even by a rain out here. To the east of us they have still been getting some rains, but out here we are still in a drought. All of the irrigated corn is up and looking good. We are now waiting on a rain to start planting milo. I thought maybe about a month ago that we had finally broken the drought. Boy was I wrong! The first three days of this week are going to be in the 90's and very windy. Wish we could trade weather with you guys in the Corn Belt. You can always grow a crop with moisture, but you sure can't without it. At least out here it always dries up to get some sort of crop in. Just might not ever rain again though. Good luck everyone and I enjoy reading what is going on in your part of the world!

5/17 - Crawford County, Illinois: 4.5" of rain Wed. - Sat. this past week. Wish we had sprayed back in March when you could easily drive across a field. Very little spraying or NH3 application done here, let alone tillage or planting. There have been maybe 3-4 days in the last 2 months when you might have found somewhere you could work. Will be at least a week before we can even think about doing anything now, and some forecasts are already calling for rain in 7-8 days, just as it has been all spring. We need heat and wind to dry things up. Everyone will push it now and plant under very "un-ideal" conditions. Corn planting cut-off date is June 10-15. It's gonna be close.
5/16 - Logansport, North Central Indiana: 1.8" rain on Wednesday, then 3.5" Fri night/Sat morning. Corn 50-60% done, (first time). Only a few scattered fields emerging. Have so many ponds now that I am afraid we might be accused of waterboarding our corn. Beans I would estimate at 25% done. Gets a whole lot wetter as you go south 75 miles to Indianapolis.

On Wednesday, May 6, a visiting relative wanted to see some planters in action. So we stopped by the Farm Journal Corn College test plots at Heyworth, Ill., where the first day of planting was underway. Then we followed I-75 from Bloomington toward the Quad Cities. After leaving the Corn College site, we saw no machinery running until we got north of Galesburg, Ill.
Between there and Geneseo, planting was underway. Bryce and Jon Chamberlain, of Geneseo, were in their fourth day of planting. By the end of the day, about half of their corn was in the ground.
However, small showers were sweeping past, mostly to the north. Driving south from Geneseo toward I-74, we soon stopped seeing planters, and we drove in and out of showers until we were southeast of Bloomington.
Thursday morning, May 6, we drove a few miles south of Champaign. No equipment was running, and we saw no fields that appeared to have been planted. A farmer south of Urbana, Ill., noted: "It's about like last year except that, last year, we had more corn planted before it turned wet."
Tonight's forecast for Champaign calls for a "60% chance of scattered strong storms.
Although dark clouds were sweeping across the sky, Jon Chamberlain, who farms with father Bryce near Geneseo, Ill., was able to complete his fourth day of planting on May 6.

5/6 - Cuming County, Nebraska: Finished planting corn on Tuesday in some less than ideal conditions. Started planting Beans today but rain is on the way once again! The CBOT should begin to rally if they would just take a tour through the corn belt and discover just how much corn is not going to get planted!!!!
5/5 - Lee County, Illinois: Started planting corn today, as did most of our neighbors, into lousy conditions. Haven't planted in these kind of conditions in years, if ever. A lot of ponds and totally unworkable ground around the area. Bumper crop or even trend line is totally out of the equation. Oh well with the surplus-no problem. Oh ya as Earl Butz said in the 70's plant er fence to fence boys there'll NEVER be a surplus!! Seems like there always is no matter what.
5/4 - Benson County, North Dakota: Zero acres seeded! Won't be any this coming week either with more rain in the forecast. Wet, cold, wet, cold, wet, cold. Snow drifts in trees yet. Should have stayed in Arizona until May.
5/4 - Montgomery County, Ohio: We had 3 good days of planting April 25, 26 and 27. 15 – 20% of corn went in, since has rained ever day total of 1.9." Now it's hurry up and wait.
-- Audrain County, Missouri
5/1 - Northwest Ohio: I have not started yet. It was close on Monday. I worked on some wash outs needed 2 more days. Two tenths on Tuesday, 6 tenths on Thursday. Calling for more rain next week. At least inputs are coming down a little. Good luck to all. Looks like very tough year.
5/1 - Posey County, Indiana: Very slow start to Spring. Many neighbors put in a little corn over the weekend, but less than 10% planted with 1-2 inches of rain on the way this week yet. 3 days of sunny 80+ to get back in the fields.
5/1 - Reno County, South Central Kansas: Started corn last Thursday the 23rd. Got rained out and have only seen more rain since. Drizzling today. I'm guessing about 25% planted in this area which is way behind average. I also have not been able to burn down fields due to wet conditions and wind and the weeds are getting out of control. Wheat looks good.

New 8000 Series Samsung TV Apps/Smart Hub Don't Work
by EmilyChatelet - 12/26/12 3:32 AM
I need some direction.TV is less than 2 months old.
I've updated firmware and software, yet find that when I use the remote apps often don't load, if at all.
Amazon Instant Videos loads only 2 out of 10 times when remote is pressed. Some videos do not load at all. Smart Hub app is linked to Amazon Prime account.
YouTube has never worked.
Neither has Pandora.
Very computer savvy. High-speed internet/fast connection, TV connected via ethernet cable (have tested and replaced cable to eliminate it as a possibility).
Errors happen when TV is the only draw on the connection.
Are the apps the issue?
Are the networks supporting the apps the issues
Is the remote not working well?
What can be done?
Why are things working so poorly on a $3000 TV?
Please offer some credible insight. I've spent hours with off-shore Samsung tech that provided no information whatsoever, in fact, Samsung USA was dismayed when their heard what their offshore tech was saying.
So, let's get going on getting what I paid for in my fancy television. Thanks.

I used to be a very enthusiastic LEGO builder when I was young(er). Together with my dad, we would try to hide treasures in the LEGO buildings we created. We would build hidden floors, trap doors and double walls.
With LEGO, you can build anything you like and all just with these rectangle pieces. I really like the quote of Vitorino Ramos –
"People should learn how to play Lego with their minds. Concepts are building bricks"
APIs are the web developers LEGO.
The best thing this century has brought us Internet professionals so far, I think, are (open) Application Programming Interfaces (API).
I'm not going to explain APIs from a technical view, but just why I love APIs.
API enable developers to use external content or functionality.
The API basically lets you do everything that you can do in the online user interface of a site or service, but do it with your own software. This means you can built things on top of other features, databases and tools, like you can with LEGO. The best examples of open APIs are Facebook and Twitter, my personal favourite. What both of them did is opening up their platforms. By doing so they've let other developers take benefit from the features, content and contextual layers of information of the platforms. This brought creativity in and took down the walled garden structures. I'm really exited about Google trying to do the same thing with the Android platform.
Anyways, it has been really inspiring for me. You can see that if you look at the projects I'm involved in.
All my projects use APIs:
Toading has developed several APIs to connect external product and statistics data of our corporate clients to the Toading applications and uses the Google Adwords and Yahoo! Search Marketing APIs to automatically sync the online ads whenever a specification of the online offering of our clients change.
Mobypicture has developed an open API to get and put content from other sites, services and applications. And of course Moby uses many external APIs to post all the users adventures realtime to their social sites and services (Twitter API, Flickr API, WordPress API, Tumblr API, Blogger API, Jaiku API, MTV API and many more)
Startpix has developed two APIs, one of which we will release for the world very soon and it uses the Twitter and Facebook APIs to share links to your online friends instantly.
Spot2.be one of my new projects, which lets you share your favourite locations easily, will be launched at the Android Dev Camp Amsterdam on Thursday the 8th of January. It also uses the Google Maps API of course, the Twitter and Facebook API for sharing spots and many different navigation systems APIs (TomTom, Garmin, Pioneer etc.)
Favi.co.nz is a pure API we're also beta launching this week at the Dev Camp. Developers can use it to retrieve favicons of any website. This can be very useful for social communities, mobile websites and applications.
Soon I'll write some dedicated posts about both Spot2be and Faviconz to explain more about the benefits and uses!
I really love both domain names BTW, don't you?

Beshear is a native of Dawson Springs in Hopkins County, KY. His father was a Baptist minister and his mother worked raising Beshear and his four siblings. He earned both a bachelor's degree and law degree from the University of Kentucky, and served in the U.S. Army Reserve as an intelligence analyst.[1]

Political career
Governor of Kentucky (2007-Present)
On December 11, 2007, Beshear was sworn in as Kentucky's 61st governor by Kentucky Supreme Court Associate Justice Bill Cunningham in a private ceremony in the Governor's Mansion in Frankfort. Beshear received the oath of office again during a public ceremony on the steps of the Kentucky State Capitol later that afternoon. The oath of office was administered during the public ceremony by Associate Justice Mary C. Noble.[2]
Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")
In December, 2012, Beshear declined to enter Kentucky into the federal health-exchange system established under the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as "Obamacare," in favor of setting up a state-based system.[3] Kentucky is one of eighteen states - including Colorado, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, and Washington - that decided to create and run individual health-exchange systems by the December 14, 2012 deadline. The exchange is an online marketplace for citizens to purchase health insurance.[4][5]
Budget crisis
When Beshear took office, he inherited a budget crisis from the previous administration. This crisis led to the decision to cut funding in post-secondary education by nearly 15% until the state could increase its revenue stream. As legislators coped with the budget shortfalls, Beshear announced plans on February 15, 2008 for his casino gambling bill, which he claimed would generate "several hundred millions of dollars" in tax revenue for the state.[6] The proposal called for up to 12 casinos (some of which would be at existing horseracing facilities like Churchill Downs) which would generate up to $600 million. To get the casino proposal on the ballot in November 2008, the plan needed 3/5 support in both the state house and senate, which Senate President David Williams gave no chance of happening.[7]
Job creation ranking
In a June 2013 analysis by The Business Journals, which ranked 45 of the country's 50 governors by their job creation records, Beshear was ranked number 22. The five governors omitted from the analysis all assumed office in 2013. The ranking was based on a comparison of the annual private sector growth rate in all 50 states using data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.[8][9]
Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky (1983-1987)
In 1983, Beshear was elected Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky on a Democratic ticket headed by Martha Layne Collins. Beshear defeated Eugene P. Stuart, the running mate of Jim Bunning, 568,869 votes to 321,352.[1]
Attorney General of Kentucky (1980-1984)
Beshear was elected Attorney General of Kentucky in 1979, defeating Republican nominee Ron Snyder with 471,177 votes to Snyder's 302,951, and served as Attorney General from 1980 to 1984.[1]
Kentucky House of Representatives (1974-1979)
In 1974, Beshear was elected to the Kentucky House of Representatives. He represented the 76th District and served in the House from 1974 to 1979.[1]
Beshear announced he would run for re-election on July 20, 2009, adding that his running mate would be Louisville mayor Jerry E. Abramson; incumbent Lieutenant Governor Daniel Mongiardo opted to run for U.S. Senate in 2010 rather than seek re-election.[10] Beshear's campaign made significant fundraising progress in 2009 and 2010, entering 2011 with over $3 million in the bank. The ticket went unopposed in the May 17 Democratic primary, allowing it to build its war chest for the general election struggle against the Republican team of David Williams and Richie Farmer.
By mid-June, a month into the general election season, Beshear's team had raised over three times as much as its opponents. Beshear also enjoyed a 21 point advantage over Williams in a June poll.
- General
On November 8, 2011 Beshear defeated David Williams (R) and Gatewood Galbraith (I).
|Governor and Lt. Governor of Kentucky, 2011

|Total Votes
- Primary
Beshear won the May 2011 Democratic primary by default when the only other candidate to enter the race left the field. After state Senator David Williams won the Republican nomination, the two faced each other in the November general election.
Ethics complaint
On August 2, 2011, Beshear was accused of violating campaign ethics laws during his re-election campaign by Kentucky Republican Party Chairman Steve Robertson. According to Robertson's complaint, one of Beshear's aides illegally pressured state employees to contribute to his campaign. The allegations are based on the testimony of a state whistleblower, psychologist Rodney Young of the Department of Juvenile Justice, as well as a December 2010 CNHI News story that claimed other employees had been strongly encouraged to contribute. Beshear's campaign called the allegations baseless and politically motivated, and the state Democratic Party filed a counter-complaint against his Republican challenger, State Senate President David Williams.[11][12][13]
On December 18, 2006, Beshear formally announced his candidacy for governor of Kentucky in the 2007 election with State Senator Daniel Mongiardo as his lieutenant governor. With 99% of precincts reporting as of May 23, 2007, Beshear won the primary; each of his opponents conceded the race to him. Because he exceeded 40 percent of the vote, he avoided a runoff.[14] In the general election, Beshear opposed incumbent Governor Ernie Fletcher . Beshear's platform included expanded gambling, which Fletcher opposed due to the social ills he said come with casinos. On November 6, 2007, Beshear defeated Fletcher by a 59% to 41% margin.[15]
Beshear was the Democratic nominee for the United States Senate in 1996, losing to incumbent Mitch McConnell. On November 5, 1996, Mitch McConnell won re-election to the United States Senate. He defeated Steven L. Beshear (D), Dennis L. Lacy (L), Patricia Jo Metten (Natural Law) and Mac McElroy (U.S. Taxpayers) in the general election.[16]
In 1987, Beshear ran for Governor of Kentucky and lost in a packed Democratic primary field. Beshear won 114,439 votes in the primary, good for a third place finish behind former governor John Y. Brown, Jr.'s 163,204 votes and 221,138 votes garnered by Wallace G. Wilkinson, who went on to win the general election that fall. Beshear placed ahead of former governor Julian Carroll's 42,137 votes and also defeated Grady Stumbo, who won 84,613 votes. Three other candidates combined for an additional 8,187 votes in that primary. After his defeat in the 1987 election, Beshear practiced law in Lexington, Kentucky.[17]
Campaign donors
Comprehensive donor information for Beshear is available dating back to 2007. Based on available campaign finance records, Beshear raised a total of $21,676,336 during that time period. This information was last updated on July 11, 2013.[18]

Carneros Pinot Noir, Clone 777, 2010
New Release
Vintage: 2010
This wine is 100% Clone 777. The grapes are grown in block 118, one of the best in our Carneros vineyard. This block is marked by its well-draining alluvial soils, which result in low-vigor vines with small berries. As a result the finished wine have intense color and fruit flavor as well as a remarkably rich mid-palate.
Tasting Notes
Bing cherry, Santa Rosa plum, bittersweet chocolate, cocoa powder aromas mingle with traces of cinammon, violet and lavendar aromas. The palate has focused cherry and pomegranate flavors with minerality and well integrated supple tannins.
Food and Wine Pairing
Grilled salmon with a soy-miso marinade would be a good match for this robust Pinot. It can stand up to flavorful foods , such as flatiron steak with chimichurri sauce or short ribs cooked in tomato sauce.

Book Synopsis
Strange things are happening in Monkeyland, the ailing Devonshire sanctuary that Patrick and his zoologist wife Jane, bought in a bid to save their marriage.
Rue, their oldest, wisest and most gentle female primate is found murdered. And a big, panther-like cat preys around the park. Evading capture, the cat lurks in the shadows and at the back of Patrick's mind. Private, threatening, elusive.
Patrick's son Charlie has left Monkeyland in disgrace, his wife is on a field trip in war-torn Zaire and his daughter Jo is avidly tracking progress of the comet Hale Bopp with her tutor. Patrick is left alone with his black cat and his fears. Until one night something happens that is so shocking, so deplorable and so destructive that it rips apart everything Patrick has ever held to be true.
Book Review
Reading NATURAL HISTORY I was struck by a number of things. Firstly, this is not your normal family. It's mostly Jane's idea to take over Monkeyland and build it into a good animal sanctuary - saving it from undoubted bankruptcy. Patrick just sort of goes along with this. It's Jane's idea to do the television series about Monkeyland. Patrick sort of goes along with this. Jane's the one that heads off to Africa and more TV stardom. Patrick goes along with this. Patrick's the one that ends up running Monkeyland - half-heartedly you'd have to say. Patrick's the one that tries to keep hearth and home together as Jane deals with her own demons in Zaire. Secondly, their children mirror the parents, but there's the sex crossover. Jo's pretty amenable, she's got her love of Astronomy and now she's home, rather than at boarding school she's just about prepared to roll along with most things. Charlie, on the other hand, is a bit more volatile. He works actively at Monkeyland and he has a real bond with the animals. When he has to be dismissed after an altercation with a patron chucking things at some of the apes, then he gets a job at a big, seaside hotel. And he works hard at the job. He's getting on with things. Thirdly, there are all these cross-over threads. Patrick's worried that Jane's having an affair with her TV producer, Charlie is having an affair with a woman he meets one night in the hotel. Jo's busy studying with her tutor and Patrick... well Patrick's obsessed with a panther. One morning he's sure he's seen a big black panther, stalking the back lanes of leafy England. Finally, it sounds like there's a lot happening in NATURAL HISTORY, and there is, but there's also not a lot happening. In the early part of the book there's Rue, the elderly ape's murder, but in terms of other crimes, there's nothing else much. For most of the book. But there is this never-ending sense of tension. Maybe it's the reader wondering what / if anything is ever going to happen, but whatever it is, the book moves rapidly - somewhere.
It could be that the writer's background as a TV writer shows strongly here, the story is told in short sections from a number of different perspectives. It swaps, changes, wrong-foots, heads down multiple side alleys and slowly, but surely, feels like it's going somewhere but you don't know where. In the first few chapters I was honestly wondering if anything was ever going to happen and thought I was getting impatient. It was only 3/4's of the way through the book that I realised that there was still a lot of what seemed to be nothing happening, and yet, I didn't want to put it down.
Definitely not a book for lovers of the "body in the opening" pages style, NATURAL HISTORY just crept up on me.

Results vs. Belmont Abbey (2009-02-21 12:00:00)
February 21, 2009Misenheimer, NC -- On Saturday afternoon the Pfeiffer Falcons split their opening Conference Carolinas series with the visiting Crusaders of Belmont Abbey. Pfeiffer prevailed in the first game 2-1 behind a strong performance on the mound by Ben Beard (Huntersville, NC). The Abbey, led by Crusader starter Michael Raymond (Mount Holly, NC), followed with a 2-1 win in the late game.
Game 1 – Pfeiffer 2, Belmont Abbey 1
Ben Beard started on the mound for the Falcons in game one and shut down the Crusaders for six innings. Beard struck out seven batters in a row and did not allow a hit until Tyler McKenzie (Winston-Salem, NC) led off the seventh with a single to right.
The game remained scoreless until the third when Tyler Smith (Locust, NC) led off with a walk against Belmont Abbey starter Tyler Powell (Port Orange, FL). Preston Lyon (Gastonia, NC) followed with a single and advanced Smith to third, followed by Josh Strickland (Liberty, NC) scoring Smith on an error.
The game stayed 1-0 until the seventh when McKenzie broke up the no-hitter with his single. McKenzie then stole second with two-outs and advanced to third on a throwing error. He ended up scoring the tying run on a wild pitch.
Pfeiffer got back on top in the bottom of the eighth when Lyon led off with a single and advanced to second on a Strickland sacrifice bunt. He scored the go ahead run on a wild pitch.
Ben Beard pitched seven strong innings, striking out 13 and giving up an unearned run, but picked up a no decision. Casey Smith (Kernersville, NC) pitched the eighth for the Falcons and marked the win. Andy Oliver (Cornelius, NC) pitched a perfect ninth, striking out two to pick up the save.
Preston Lyon and Zach Pou (Stanley, NC) both had two hits for the Falcons, while Myles Pearl (High Point, NC) added one of his own.
Powell pitched well for the Crusaders going 7 1/3 innings allowing only four hits and two runs, but he picked up the loss. McKenzie and Patrick Atwell (China Grove, NC) had the only hits for Belmont Abbey.
Game 2 – Pfeiffer 1, Belmont Abbey 2
Game two saw another pitching duel, but this time between Jonathon McDaniel (Mocksville, NC) for Pfeiffer and Michael Raymond for Belmont Abbey.
Pfeiffer jumped ahead early with a run in the first. With one out, Eric Shoemaker (Huntersville, NC) reached on a walk, stole second, and then scored on a RBI single by Will Davis (New London, NC).
The Falcon lead was short lived as the Crusaders tied the game in the top of the second when Danny Brion (Virginia Beach, VA) hit an opposite field homerun to tie the score at 1-1. The Abbey took the lead for good when Atwell and Josh Frazier (Lowell, NC) reached on one-out singles. Atwell scored on a SAC fly by Roland Rodriguez (Miami, FL).
Pfeiffer threatened to tie the score in the seventh when Brandon Rouse (Kinston, NC) singled and Ethan Marsh (Asheboro, NC) walked with one-out, but Zach Horne (Belmont, NC) came in for the visitors and ended the rally.
McDaniel picked up the loss going all seven innings giving up six hits and two earned runs. Davis and Rouse had the only hits for the Falcons in game two.
Raymond took the win by going 6 1/3 innings giving up only two hits and one earned run. Horne came in during the seventh to pick up the save. Brion and Atwell led the Crusaders with two hits apiece.
The two teams will square off tomorrow in the finale of the series at 1:00PM.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Physical Characteristics
Breed Group:
Small even for a Spaniel, full-grown Cavaliers reach only about 10 to 18 pounds (4.5 – 8.5 kg).
Cavaliers are on average 12 to 13 inches tall (29 – 33 cm).
Four color patterns are officially recognized for this breed:
Blenheim (chestnut on white background), Tricolor (black and white, with tan markings on face), Black-and-tan, and Ruby (red all over)
This breed is known for their thick, silky coat. While the coat itself is of moderate length, adult Cavaliers develop long featherings on their ears, chests, legs, feet, and tails. Daily brushing is a must to ensure that the coat does not become matted.
The friendly, affectionate Cavalier has been described as "the ultimate lap dog." They are playful in nature, and crave for their owners' attention, which make them wonderful companion dogs. Cavaliers are especially favored by seniors, since they are relatively low-maintenance and put out lots of love. Their extremely sociable personality means they will greet strangers and other dogs with little reserve. The extrovert of the Spaniel family, the Cavalier has been cherished for their lively companionship for centuries.
Country of Origin:
United Kingdom
The Toy Spaniel group was first developed in the United Kingdom back in the 11th century, because it was illegal to hunt with dogs that could not fit through an 11-inch wide gauge. Over time, these tiny, boisterous dogs gradually became favored as pets in the royal family.
The original "King Charles" spaniel was, predictably, from the household of Charles I. These spaniels were later crossed with dogs of Asian descent, and their original trait of long snouts and flatter heads became lost in time. In the 1920s these "old-fashioned" traits were re-developed, and the resulted dog breed was named "Cavalier King Charles" to represent its relationship with the beloved royal pets.
Cavaliers are outgoing and very social, and do exceptionally well in the company of children and other pets. They do have a tendency to chase down things that have caught their attention, so they should be kept in a fenced yard or on leash during walks.
This intelligent breed is easy to train, as they are always eager to please, and thrive on their owners' attention. Their friendly nature makes them quick to socialize with other dogs, and they will happily approach much larger dogs assuming that they are just as friendly; therefore a leash is a must when taking Cavaliers out for a walk!
Cavaliers need a moderate amount of exercise. Running about in a yard plus moderate daily walks are sufficient for this small and active breed. They are prone to heart disease, and adequate exercise can help ensure their health in old age.
These small, joyful dogs are excellent companions, as they want nothing more than to love and be loved. They should not be left alone for long periods of time, since they require attention and companionship to thrive; therefore, they should not be kept outdoors. They can have a number of serious genetic disorders, including mitral valve disease and syringomyelia (a brain and spinal disorder), so it is important to consult with the breeders when considering a puppy.
No breeders listed at this time.

DHS realigns cyber office into five divisions
Friday - 10/19/2012, 2:01pm EDT
The Homeland Security Department's Office of Cybersecurity and Communications is expanding to five divisions from three and creating a performance-management office.
DHS is reorganizing CS&C in light of its increased responsibilities and improved stature in the federal and private sector cyber communities.
"Our new structure will result in an organization more capable of agile operations; of forming stronger partnerships; and of professionally, efficiently, and effectively enhancing the security, resiliency, and reliability of the nation's cyber and communications infrastructure," wrote Mike Locatis, the assistant secretary of the Office of Cybersecurity and Communications, in an internal memo obtained by Federal News Radio. "This realignment also centralizes common support functions of budget, finance, and acquisitions, information management and human capital."
DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano approved CS&C's realignment plan earlier this week.
Locatis came to CS&C in April after spending 18 months as the Energy Department's chief information officer.
A request for comment from DHS's National Protection and Programs Directorate, which CS&C falls under, was not immediately returned.
Congress created the Cybersecurity and Communications Office in 2006 with three divisions:
- National Communications System
- National Cybersecurity Division
- Office of Emergency Communications
Federal Network Security
Under the realignment plan, Cybersecurity and Communications will elevate and rename two of the subdivisions. The Federal Network Security unit goes from being a branch of the National Cybersecurity Division to its own division, and DHS split its responsibilities into two new groups: the Federal Network Resilience (FNR) division and the Network Security Deployment (NSD) division.
John Streufert will lead FNR, which will oversee the continuous monitoring initiative and the operational aspects of the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA). Federal Network Resilience also will develop and deploy cybersecurity capabilities and standards with civilian agency partners, identify cybersecurity best practices and use automation tools, and perform audits and testing on federal networks.
Network Security Deployment
The Network Security Deployment (NSD) division will be led by Brendan Goode and includes the National Cybersecurity Protection System and the Cyberscope tool. Agencies submit continuous monitoring data into Cyberscope.
NSD also gathers requirements for CS&C technical programs and operating capabilities, and coordinates managed services with the private sector for functions such as continuous monitoring-as-a-service or other situational awareness services.
National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center
The National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCIC), led by Larry Zelvin, will bring together the assorted operational offices, including the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (U.S. CERT), the Control Systems Security Program, the National Coordinating Center and national level exercises — all under one division.
The NCIC will provide full-time monitoring, information sharing, analysis and incident response capabilities, including running the Einstein 3A program. It coordinates with federal cyber centers and runs the "red and blue teams" to provide analysis on network, data, threats and vulnerabilities.
The Stakeholder Engagement and Cyber Infrastructure Resilience division
DHS created a new office to work with the private sector. The Stakeholder Engagement and Cyber Infrastructure Resilience division will be led by Jenny Menna and includes the National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee, private-sector coordination efforts, education and cyber workforce initiatives and standards work.
The stakeholder-engagement office will ensure there is strategic alignment of all stakeholder and other outside group activities and provides customer relationship and logistical management.
Office of Emergency Communications
The fifth division, the Office of Emergency Communications, which is led by Ron Hewitt, keeps the same name, but expands its responsibilities by adding the functions of the National Communications System.
OEC will support public safety efforts including providing training and technical assistance to improve emergency communications readiness, coordinating public-private response activities and works on interoperability policy.
Additionally, the realignment plan creates the Enterprise Performance Management Office, led by a senior executive service member. It will be responsible for "strategic planning, performance planning and measurement that cuts across all CS&C programs," Locatis wrote.

Comments about Dumonde Tech Bio Green G10 Chain Lube:
I found the Dumonde Tech Bio-Green was by far the best Bio chain lube on the market! I had tried several other bio lubes and where a mess, always! On top of that, they did not last very long so I had to clean the chain due to the grime (I do not over apply) and re-apply to often. The Dumonde last much longer and was not nearly as dirty. A good find.

GARETH DUNCAN watched the Sharks secure top spot on the Currie Cup log after their 37-30 bonus-point win over the Free State Cheetahs in Bloemfontein.
With the Golden Lions going down in Kimberley, the Sharks are now favourites to finish first in the standings ahead of the semi-finals. If they win their final league fixture against Griquas in Durban next weekend, they will have home-ground advantage for the play-offs.
Head coach John Plumtree will credit a slick attacking performance that helped his charges down the Cheetahs in their own backyard.
Wing Odwa Ndungane grabbed a brace, while outside centre Paul Jordaan, flank Jacques Botes and replacement hooker Kyle Cooper also crossed the chalk. Flyhalf Meyer Bosman added three conversions and two penalties in what finished as a comfortable win for the visitors
However, the Cheetahs caused some early concerns after they surged into an early 10-0 lead.
Wing Raymond Rhule continued his outstanding breakthrough season with an impressive individual try. Getting the ball at first receiver, the Baby Bok speedster showed great pace to skin Bosman and prop Dale Chadwick for an easy run to the whitewash. Wing Nico Scheepers added a conversion, and later converted a penalty.
The Sharks fought back as Ndungane capitalised on enterprising backline play and scored two tries.
His first came after smart interplay with Springbok wing JP Pietersen, who showed fine form in his comeback from a broken thumb suffered in the Super Rugby final. Ndungane's second was a finish to a good team build-up.
Bosman added a conversion and penalty to secure the Sharks a 15-10 half-time lead.
The Durban union extended their advantage in the first minute of the second half as flank Keegan Daniel's chip into space was collected by Jordaan.
The Cheetahs narrowed the gap with scrumhalf Sarel Pretorius' score and Scheepers' boot, but tries from Botes and Hooper sealed the result.
The Cheetahs grabbed a consolation losing bonus point as Rhule powered over at the death. This was enough to lift themselves off the bottom of the log with the Blue Bulls falling to last place.

Audie Award Finalist, Audio Drama, 2014
Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, creators of HBO's classic sketch comedy show Mr. Show, present to you this collection of never-before-seen scripts and ideas that Hollywood couldn't find the gumption to green-light. Simply put....
Hollywood Said No!
Since Mr. Show closed up shop, Bob and David have kept busy with many projects - acting in fun, successful, movies and TV shows, directing things, and complaining about stuff that didn't turn out well to anyone who would listen, and even alone, in silence, inside their own heads.
Hollywood Said No! reveals the full-length, never-before-seen scripts for Bob and David Make a Movie (fleshed out with brand-new storyboards by acclaimed artist Mike Mitchell) and Hooray For America!: a satirical power-house indictment of all that you hold dear.
This tome also includes a bonus section of orphaned sketch ideas from the Mr. Show days and beyond, suitable for performance by church groups that aren't all koo-koo about religion. What you are looking at online, and are about to buy, is chock-full of comic twists, turns, and maybe a few hard truths. We said "maybe," but what we mean was "probably not."
Now, for the first time, take a peek at the scripts that didn't get the go-ahead and ponder a world we can only dream about...and beyond!
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Tribute Video Secrets
"The Mr. Show Crew Redefine the "Audio Book""
This book of scripts and sketches is not read, it's acted. Music, Sound effects, occasional bouts of laughter and ad-libs bring an extra dimension to what is on the written page, and in some cases, enhances our understanding of what the printed page can only hint at. You know these people care... giving their fans extra effort, extra audio layers, and making this "reading" an incomparable event.
There are too many to list, although David as the "President" of the United States is a real standout.
During the performance of the first script, narrator Paul F. Tompkins suddenly disappears and is replaced... the clumsy explanation of this brings laughter from the actors and this listener.
I listened to this in two "sittings"... driving. But only because I had to get out of the car.
This Audible edition is well worth it, even if you bought the print edition already. It's like a new episode of Mr. Show, with much of the same cast (in addition to Bob and David, I mean). Highly recommended. I only gave the "story" 4 stars because this book is made up of course of scripts Hollywood rejected. I mean, Hollywood knows what it's doing, right?
"I Miss Mr. Show!"
The comedians who read the book and the funny stories.
The originality and free-form silliness.
Their rapport and obvious comfort with the material (since they wrote it).
Mistakes of the Ancestors
"if you like mr show"
i found the full performance pretty hilarious.
I understand why these were not made into movies but that just makes the whole thing more ridiculous.
the cast are witty as ever, but they left the some of their crackups in the final recording, which i thought was funny.
I enjoy picnics in the park and long walks along the beach. I really enjoy kicking butt and taking names.
"Great performance"
The cast knows their craft and are passionate, and I am a fan of their comedic style. It is a fun short listen but I did not laugh out loud. What I enjoyed most was gleaning how a movie script is written differently than a novel.
"Hey everybody, it's Bob and David!"
free on audible.com
"Old Gregg" - because he has a mangina and "all things good"
its not a book and yes I wet myself
"For fans of Mr Show"
That it was fully formed, it seemed effortless despite the fact the script was at the time over a decade old.
Bob, he's just the best.
Bob yelling is up there with the best catchphrases.
It's always great to hear from Jay Johnston
I nearly choked a few times due to laughter.
A great ensemble cast.

August 24, 2012 – As CenterPoint Energy and residents along the Gulf Coast closely monitor the projected path of Tropical Storm Isaac, the company recommends the following natural gas safety tips:
Before the storm
- Do not to turn off natural gas at the meter. The gas meter should be left on to maintain proper pressure in the gas piping within the house and to prevent water from entering the lines should flooding occur.
- If a customer wants to discontinue gas service, turn off the gas at each appliance. Later, to restore gas service to an appliance, follow the written instructions located on the appliance for relighting. If unable to locate instructions, call a qualified plumber.
After the storm
- If you smell gas when you return to your home, leave immediately on foot. Do not use electric switches, telephones (including cell phones) or anything that could cause a spark. Go to a safe location and call CenterPoint Energy as soon as possible.
- If your home was flooded, call a licensed plumber or a gas appliance technician to inspect your appliances and gas piping to make sure everything is in good operating condition before calling CenterPoint Energy to reconnect service. This includes outdoor gas appliances also, such as pool heaters, gas grills, and gas lights.
- If you've had no flooding in your home and your natural gas is turned off at the meter, please call CenterPoint Energy to reconnect service.
To report natural gas emergencies, call 888-876-5786. For more information on natural gas safety, visit our Storm Center.

Snohomish dad's kidney saves son's life
Boy wasn't expected to survive renal problems
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Isaac Buurstra, 22 months, lies in his hospital bed at Seattle Children's on Tuesday evening.
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
The Buurstra family (from left) Isaac, 22 months, mom Paige, dad Tim and 4-year-old Maddy laugh at Isaac's antics Tuesday evening at Seattle Children's Hospital. Isaac, suffering from end-stage renal failure, needed a kidney to save his life and his dad gave him one.
Doctors told the Snohomish couple they did not expect the toddler to survive kidney disease.
Isaac Buurstra was released Friday from Children's Hospital in Seattle after undergoing a kidney transplant in late November. The toddler received the life-saving organ from his father. For almost two years the boy had survived by being hooked to a dialysis machine at least 12 hours a day.
Tim Buurstra, a Boeing engineer, and Paige Buurstra, a Snohomish attorney, first learned of their son's renal problems 18 weeks into the pregnancy. They didn't face similar problems when their daughter, Maddy, 4, was born.
"It was horrible," Paige Buurstra said. "It's hard to even put words to when somebody tells you your child's going to die."
After hearing she may only have a few hours with her son alive if she made it through pregnancy, some days she almost wished he would never be born, Paige Buurstra, 35, said.
"It's going to be worse if I have two months than if he dies in utero," she said. "People don't really say that out loud."
Still, the couple remained hopeful and Isaac was born Feb. 6, 2012.
"It was a very tense moment when they pulled him out," Tim Buurstra, also 35, said. "It was this question of if he was going to scream, which means he's breathing."
Relief came when Isaac began to cry a few moments after birth. But that just marked the beginning of his struggle to survive.
"No parent regrets having their child, no matter how difficult it gets," Paige Buurstra said. "You don't know what's going to happen but you'll never regret having a child and any amount of time."
Isaac underwent three major surgeries in his first three months of life. He has landed in the hospital nine times before his second birthday.
With the success of his recent transplant surgery, Isaac finally has a chance at a relatively normal childhood.
"That was the moment I was like ahhh," Paige Buurstra said. "It really was a miracle."
The couple is anticipating several more hospitalizations for their son. Their hopes for his future remain limitless.
"We're not doing this alone. That's the amazing thing," Paige Buurstra said. "We have a whole community standing behind us."
People are helping raise money for the Children's Organ Transplant Association, which helps families like the Buurstras pay for medical expenses. So far, COTA has raised $48,000 of the $75,000 goal it set with Isaac in mind.
With the transplant behind them, the Buurstras said, they plan to focus on making healthy choices for their entire family and spending more time with their daughter.
"As hard as it has been, there have been great things that have come out of this in the way we view life," Paige Buurstra said.
"We've never looked back, we don't regret a moment," Tim Buurstra added.
