NORTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō As a row of veteran fliers, family members and members of the Quonset Air Museum lined a chain-link fence in front of the nearby Quonset State Airport on Saturday, a single-engine plane with a checkerboard nose, stars on its wings and the word NAVY on its side blasted into action.
KINGSTON—With more than 40 years of teaching and educational research experience, University of Rhode Island Professor George Willis has worked towards challenging accepted methods in today's schools. He has been rewarded for his diligence by the American Education Research Association (AERA), which has recognized him as a 2012 recipient of the 'Division B Lifetime Achievement Award.'
SOUTH KINGSTOWN – Erin McAlice and Richard Wu, Valedictorian and Salutatorian of South Kingstown High School's class of 2012, were both surprised and excited when they learned they were at the top of their class.
"At the end it's very close between the top five people," McAlice said. "Richard and I were very close. I don't think it's necessarily a competition, I don't think any of us saw it that way."
NARRAGANSETT—The Town Council approved the fiscal year 2012-13 town budget on Wednesday evening. The group met in a special session in order to resolve any lingering concerns about the budget which council members may have held.
No members of the public were available or spoke regarding the budget. At the May 21 meeting, the budge was introduced as a first reading, and council members initially discussed their opinions of the general make-up of the budget.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN – South Kingstown High School teacher and local resident Missy Stark died Tuesday after a four month battle with bilinary tract cancer. Stark, 34, was a mother of three, adored teacher and community volunteer.

EXETERŌĆöThe Exeter Financial Town Meeting has, in years past, been a knock-down, drag-out affair of butting heads with lively personalities willing to hold debate for hours over even the slightest of increases in the townŌĆÖs budget.
This year, the only thing voters couldnŌĆÖt agree on was just how quickly they wanted to get out of the annual gathering.
Graduation is one of those life events that everyone remembers and it's with good reason. The culmination of four year's of hard work, that one day is a highlight for untold students across the country.
This week, the Standard Times brings you on the scene of this year's graduation ceremony for North Kingstown High School.
In addition, we bring you an exclusive look into Exeter's Financial Town Meeting and preview this week's Quonset Air Show.
All that and much, much more in this week's Standard-Times. Pick up a copy today!

VINELAND — The Vineland High School boys lacrosse team had been holding in Tuesdays celebration for what seemed like an eternity.
The Fighting Clan exploded in jubilation after they rallied from a four-goal deficit to beat Lower Cape May 12-10 at the Anthony DiTomo Sports Complex, securing the programs first Cape-Atlantic League win since 2010.
Vineland only had one victory in each of the past two seasons, and both came against Winslow Township.
I feel pretty great. I dont even know what to say, I just feel pretty great, said junior attacker Mikey Ostrowski, who couldnt get the smile off his face following his five-goal performance. Its awesome. I never pictured us actually winning such an awesome game in high school. Its just unreal. Its awesome.
This means like everything to me, senior defender Felix Mercado said. This is what Ive been wanting since the season started. I came into the season thinking were going to be 4-0 by now, unfortunately we were 0-4.
As the first half wound down, it looked like the Fighting Clan would fall to 0-5 by the days end. After Ostrowski tied the game at 4-4 with 10:39 left in the second quarter, the Caper Tigers (2-6) scored four unanswered goals to take an 8-4 advantage.
However, Ostrowski scored with 1:35 left before the intermission to give his team some positive momentum heading into the break.
We were just thinking plug away at it, Ostrowski said. Dont get your head down, thats what we said at halftime. We were down 8-5, (coach) pulled everyone (together) and said just play our game.
That included getting back to the basics and playing more fundamentally sound lacrosse Vineland had too many turnovers in the first half.
Once we started relaxing, we started playing the game we know how to play, first-year coach Michael Kenney said.
Ostrowski got the Fighting Clans comeback going in the third quarter when he made a spinning, falling shot with 7:42 left to make it 8-6. Roughly two minutes later, he took a great feed from senior Calvin Stiles and found the back of the net again to make it 8-7.
Shortly after, Stiles evened the score at 8-8 off a feed from Danny Miller, but Lower Cape May scored 18 seconds later to take back the lead at 9-8.
However, instead of getting down, the Fighting Clan responded to the challenge, as Stiles picked up a loose ball, charged down the field and found Miller alone next to the net for a goal with 1:28 remaining in the quarter for a 9-9 tie.
They were telling me to pass it to the attacker on the side, and I was like no guys, I got this, I got this guys, said Stiles, who finished with two goals and three assists. One of the attackers tried to slash me, but I cut to the right and I ran down the field, and I kind of looked off on Jacob (Villafane), our attackman, and I got all the (defense) going to the right, and I passed it to the left (to Miller for the goal).
You could just see something in their eyes, we got this game, Kenney said about his team following Stiles goal.
With the game knotted at 9-9 entering the fourth, Vineland kept its foot on the pedal. Kevin Forcinito won a tough opening faceoff, got the ball to Villafane, who fed Ostrowski in the middle of the field for his fifth and final goal of the game, which gave the Fighting Clan a 10-9 lead they wouldnt relinquish.
That was thanks largely due to the goaltending of Bart Lusinski, who made several dazzling saves in the final two quarters, seven in all, after replacing Chris Wolfe, who made eight saves in the first half. The two split time regularly.
Chris and Bart are phenomenal, Kenney said. I have to say if theyre not the best, theyre (up there with) the best goalies in the league.
Miller scored his third goal of the game later in the fourth quarter and defenseman Luke Dauito put the final nail in the Caper Tigers coffin with a goal with 20 seconds remaining in the game.
It means a lot, its probably the best feeling in the entire world, Kenney said. Even when I played (for Vineland), I dont think Ive been more excited than winning a game as a coach.
And the Fighting Clan expect to keep the victories coming.
We were 0-4, but Im telling you were going to be great, Stiles said. Were going to take a run (at the rest of the league). Thats all Im saying.

I have self-diagnosed metatarsalgia in my right foot. It feels like a bruise under the ball of my foot, and it mostly hurts when I run, but sometimes when I walk. I want to run my half if I still can, it's on April 27, but at the same time I don't want to risk making the injury a lot worse.
Has anyone ever competed in a race with this kind of injury? I can go to the health center on my campus, but they're not the best with sports injuries, so I was hoping to get some feedback from people that might have some experience first.

Depends on how much it hurts.
Shoes with more cushion will help.
Attitude is everything
+1 Dave. I had this problem when I first switched to VFF shoes.
Ice it as often as you can. Maybe you can try a different pair of running shoes? Take a few days off running to bike or swim, and see if that helps. I think the half marathon is still very possible. See how it feels a few days before the race to make a decision.
I have something that's close to that, although I'd hesitate to call it metatarsalgia because it's higher on a foot diagram--right at the base of my second toe. I first felt it in October when running a half marathon without my custom orthotics (I used the regular shoe inserts instead, because they're lighter). It hasn't gone away, but it's very off-and-on, and doesn't really affect my running even when it's sore. I just try to wear my orthotics, which give it a better cushion, and massage it on bad days.
i don't have any good advice- but i hope you feel better & can run your race!

Angelina Jolie Talks 'Maleficent' in 'Entertainment Weekly'
Angelina Jolie is casting a spell as the infamous villain of Disney's Maleficient … and she even looks great doing it!
The 38-year-old actress looks hauntingly-beautiful with her black-horned headpiece, emerald eyes, and bold red lips as she covers the March 14 issue of Entertainment Weekly.
In the interview, Angelina opens up about playing Sleeping Beauty's nemesis and how her children — except for 5-year-old daughter Vivienne — were afraid of her dark character.
"It is really funny when people say you'd be obvious for a great villain," she dishes to EW. "The exercise wasn't how can we have fun with a villain? It was what turns people evil and vile and aggressive and cruel? What could have possibly happened to her?"
So how afraid were Angelina's children?
"They went, 'She's so scary!' When Pax saw me for the first time, he ran away and got upset — and I thought he was kidding, so I was pretending to chase him until I actually found him crying," she shares. "I had to take off pieces [of the makeup] in front of him to show him it was all fake and not freak out so much."
Angelina also opens up about Vivienne playing a young version of Princess Aurora (above) and if her and Brad Pitt's children will be going into acting like their famous parents.
"We think it's fun for our kids to have cameos and join us on set, but not to be actors. That's not our goal for Brad and I at all. But the other 3- and 4-year-old [performers] wouldn't come near me. It had to be a child that liked me and wasn't afraid of my horns and my eyes and my claws. So it had to be Viv."
To read the full exclusive interview, Angelina's issue of Entertainment Weekly will hit newsstands March 7.
Maleficent — which also stars Elle Fanning — is slated to hit theaters on May 30.

In different ways, Kayla Thornton and Kristine Vitola took steps forward in the next stages of their post-UTEP basketball careers Friday.
Vitola made a very large step, leaving her home of the last five years, El Paso, for Riga, Latvia, to join up with former Miners Anete Steinberga and Baiba Eglite on the Latvian national team as it prepares for this summer's European Championships qualifying.
Thornton took a step forward by going nowhere: She survived the first round of Washington Mystics cuts and will play for the team in the preseason, beginning at Indiana on Tuesday. She is one of 17 players vying for 12 roster spots, which includes five players who are currently overseas. Four players were cut Friday.
It is obviously a heady time for both.
"It's very exciting to see myself growing, from high school to college and now looking toward the next step," said Vitola, who has signed with an agent and anticipates playing professionally in Europe in the fall. "Right now I need to build up my strength. I have a good basketball IQ, I can adapt to what coaches need, that's never been a problem. I need to build my strength."
She'll also have to change her eating habits.
"I'm going to miss the Mexican food" in El Paso, she said.
Latvia opens its European qualifying campaign at home against Portugal on June 8. Italy and Estonia are also in their four-team group.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles city officials say 950 guns have been removed from the streets through a weekend gun buyback.
Mayor Eric Garcetti and police Chief Charlie Beck on Monday cited the recent deadly rampage near Santa Barbara as an example of why such events are important.
The city collected 476 handguns, 273 rifles, 170 shotguns and 31 assault weapons.
Participants received a supermarket gift card for up to $200, depending on the type of gun.
The program has collected more than 12,000 guns since its creation in 2009.
Last month in the Isla Vista community near the University of California, Santa Barbara, six students were slain and 13 other people were wounded in a young man's rampage which involved shooting, stabbing and using a car as a weapon.

Pfister picks New York artist for its residency program
The Pfister Hotel announced Tuesday that its next artist in residence will be Timothy Westbrook, a textile artist from New York. Westbrook is the fourth artist to participate in the hotel's program and the first to be from outside the region.
Drawn to Milwaukee for its arts and historic character, Westbrook plans to work on two bodies of work during his year-long residencey. Using materials he'll weave from organic and repurposed materials, including cassette tapes, he plans to make a series of period-style ball gowns and also his first fashion collection.
"I am excited to look at form and color and what the materials are really capable of," Westbrook said in a video created by the hotel. "After spending one night in Milwaukee...I was just awed and inspired and I couldn't wait to be a part of that community.
"I see this as an invitation to be a part of a new family that was just what I was looking for. The immense amount of support for each other in the Milwaukee community is just incredible. I also feel the responsibility to set the stage for any other national or even international artists and how to respect the community and really become a part of it."
Westbook will move to Milwaukee in April and work in the Pfister's studio, adjacent to the hotel lobby. He replaces the Pfister's current artist Shelby Keefe.
Part of the goal of the program is to provide hotel guests and the public with access to an artist at work. The resident artist is also expected to provide docent-like tours of the hotel's Victorian art collection, which is considered one of the largest of its kind in a hotel in the world.

It was a cool mid-Blaugust day at the Kerbal Space Center.
Administrator Joseph Kerman IX sat in his comfortable swivel chair, elbows on his desk and his small hands on his chin - quite obviously bored out of his mind. The chief engineer Billy-Bobthompdorp Kerman suddenly burst into the room! Joseph started, and his elbows slipped off the desk, sending him hurtling face-first into it - knocking him out cold. Billy stood there for a moment, unsure of what to do. He was about ready to simply sprint away and pretend he didn't see anything when Joseph came to. Billy spoke carefully,
"Ah... you're ali-- awake."
"Yes... now what did you come barging in here for, anyway?"
"The first expedition to... R-roche has failed They ran straight into it and are now stranded."
"Ruh-roche? What's that? Also, who are you, and where am I?"
Billy sighed and shook his head, his initial fear of having accidentally killed the administrator now overcome with annoyance. "Okay, I'll give you the short version. You're the administrator of the Kerbal Space Agency. You're in your office. Roche is a small moonlet orbiting Eve, which is a planet--"
"I know what Eve is, you condescending--"
"Okay, okay! Anyway, Roche is a small moonlet orbiting it, just discovered a few months ago. Around the same time, we sent a mission out to investigate it, and determine whether it's worth further exploration. The answer was a resounding yes, but they somehow managed to ram directly into it whilst doing their departure burn... and now they're stranded in Eve orbit"
Joseph seemed to snap back to reality at the mention of several technical terms. "Well? Draft up another mission, Bill! Hell, this time let's bring that boulder home so we can study it without spending so much."
"Uh, yes sir..."
After a bit of walking, Billy arrived at the engineering department. He entered the front door, climbed up atop the secretary's desk and addressed everyone present:
"Okay, listen up everybody! We've got a new plan, direct from Administrator Kerman. We're going to haul Roche back to Kerbin orbit for future studies."
Someone coughed. Somebody else dropped a coffee cup. This was gonna be huge.
Rendezvous with Roche!As the prologue suggests, Roche is a tiny asteroid that's been discovered orbiting Eve! It's suspected to be a fragment of its surface, thrown off by an ancient asteroid collision. Now, you've been tasked with retrieving it, and returning it to Kerbin orbit. Weighing 600 tons, it's not going to be easy to move. We've developed a magnetic asteroid stabbing device, which will firmly attach to any metallic areas of the object. Luckily, Expedition 1 managed to paint a bright red X over an especially metallic area before they met their horrible fate. Now it's just a matter of stabbing it with the provided Asteroid Stabbing Utility and bringing it home! Also included is a cubic chunk of a Neutron star that happens to weigh exactly the same as Roche, useful for delta-v calculations using Kerbal Engineer or MechJeb without having to actually fly all the way to Eve.
Criteria for mission success:
- Roche does get hauled from Eve orbit to a Kerbin orbit of under 300km.
- Roche does not enter any planetary atmosphere (this would greatly damage its otherwise pristine surface) Note: A large heat shield stuck in front of it allows you to ignore this restriction, so long as you don't scorch any part of Roche.
- Roche does not impact any planet, especially Kerbin (this would also damage it)
Optional objectives:
- Recover the stranded crew of Expedition 1 and bring them home.
- Place Roche in an equatorial, circular (no more than 5km difference between periapsis and apoapsis) orbit around Kerbin.
- Orbit Roche around another body besides Eve before bringing it back to Kerbin. For science.
- Do the entire mission in one launch, with stock parts. This will grant you a Kerbal X-Prize Scratch-n-Sniff Sticker.
There are few guidelines to this challenge - this is more a free-form exercise in performing the difficult task of relocating a 600 ton space boulder. Mods are allowed, but of course the most impressive relocations will be the ones done with only stock parts, or parts balanced to stock standards! I recommend using www.imgur.com to create an album of images to showcase your mission.
Now, good luck, Kerbonauts! I look forward to seeing your ridiculous methods of relocating this huge space boulder.

IMPORTANT: Roche is classified as debris*, so you must activate debris in the map view/tracking station to see it!
Otherwise, all you'll see is Expedition 1. Remember, to enable debris, move your mouse to the top area of the screen,
and right-click on the debris button to add it to the currently visible items. Also, it would be a good idea to
check what limit you have set for debris on the option screen, so it isn't auto-deleted.
(If you want to put up with the possible bugs, an alternate version of the .sfs file is available at the bottom of this post)
To install:
First, open up your game data folder. (To access your game files on steam, right click
on KSP, and hit properties. Then go to the Local Files tab and click "browse local files")
Second, get the files from the zip to your game directory. For windows, you can just extract the zip
directly into the KSP directory, and tell it to overwrite any files it finds. For OSX/Linux, you'll have to manually
merge the new files, otherwise you'll delete your scenarios and normal gamedata!
(thank you rspeed on reddit for that note).
Please let me know if you find any bugs/problems and I'll try to remedy them.
*The reason for it being debris is, if it's classified as a ship, the game thinks "oh boy, this thing's massive and must be important", so it merges your ship into it, and subsequently renames the whole stack as "Roche", which gets annoying. If you're okay with these problems though, and don't like it being debris, here's an alternate version of the sfs file. Just put it into the saves/scenarios/ folder, overwriting the normal one.

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. — Two boys allegedly beat their school bus driver Friday afternoon after she stopped the bus to discipline them, ABC 57 News reports.
The students, ages 7 and 8, were asked to calm down by bus aide Lucille Buke because they were throwing a lanyard across the bus. When the boys did not comply, driver Shaunda Gilbert stopped the bus to help Buke.
One of the boys became enraged and tried to leave the bus. When Gilbert attempted to stop him, he allegedly shoved her to the ground, jumped on her and grabbed her hair in order to slam her head against the floor. The other boy then joined the beating. Both boys are facing battery misdemeanor charges.

There were two aides so I think one can safely assume that these children are at the very least troubled children with behavioral issues or very possibly special needs children...One aide is 73 years old...one is 19...is it possible that either one or both could not handle the physicalness of the situation? Perhaps one of them was there as a one on one aide and like Concerneddriver stated, there is very possibly a hands off policy...Until you've been on a bus with children like this, you will never know or understand the power they have when they are angry...I feel horrible for this driver...
We have a handsoff policy and are not allowed to touch the students unless it is a life or death situation. Because of the age of e students, the driver and aid were probably caught by surprise when knocked down. There isn't alot of room to maneuver around in a bus so the driver was probably trapped. Have you ever had the opportunity to see a young child in a rage? they are quite strong and it most certainly CAN be such a beating of an adult by a 7 and 8 year old. As sad as this is, I would suggest that we look at the parents and what is causing such anger in a child.
Yeah aint it kinda weird? Why didn't the aide get the boys off the driver? Something is weird here.
It's stupid though, generally drivers and aides are afraid of touching a kid, even in defense cos parents and their "omg my little angel won't do that" and sue the hell out of the company and driver.
Having a hard time imagining one 7 or 8 year old being capable of such strength and force against i.e. "savagely beating" an adult. All this before the second one joined in keeping in mind that there is another adult present apparently witnessing it all. Hmmmmmm

Franc Rises vs. Euro, Breaks Ceiling
The Swiss franc broke thorough the cap against euro for the first time it was introduced half a year ago. The currency fell against the US dollar for the fourth consecutive trading session.
The franc rose past the ceiling of 1.20 versus the euro for the first time the Swiss National Bank introduced it in September last year. It was no surprise to market analysts as the currency was steadily rising since the initial slump after the introduction of the cap. All previous interventions of the SNB were unsuccessful and it was just a matter of time before the current one would fail. Saying that, the introduction of the ceiling was the most successful attempt to intervene, for now.
EUR/CHF was at 1.2020 as of 13:15 GMT today after falling from 1.2035 to 1.1997 — the lowest since September 6. USD/CHF was up from 0.9158 to 0.9215.

HP pavilion a6700f internet connection problems
Just got a new HP pavilion a6700f quad core processor with 4 g of RAM using Windows Vista 64 bit OS. Had problems connecting to the internet from the start. We got it to work after downloading a new BIOS driver and connecting directly to ATT yahoo's DNS server. It worked for a couple of weeks, but then just quit. HP support thinks it could be a be network card or a problem with internet explorer. two solutions : perform system recovery and wipe out everything and start over or have HP install a new network card. I dont want to wipe out the hard drive and reinstall as this is time consuming and HPs support will take a couple of weeks. Its definitely not my ISP - I have a second computer that connects fine. Any thoughts on how to solve?
Re: HP pavilion a6700f internet connection problems
So you are saying that HP support does not know if it is your explorer or your wireless card? there is hardware diag tools on your computer that will determine if it is hardware. I say wireless card becuse your network card is built into your motherboard so hp would have to replace your board.
Do you have a router, are you working wireless or is it directly wired to router or modem. What does the diagnose and repair in Network and sharing center say is the problem. Check your network adapter in device manager--is it working properly (double click to bring up properties) So does windows mail work, can your internet antivirus program access the net? I know I am asking a lot of questions but it does help me to realize exactly what the problem is . By the way doing a recovery takes about an hour doing it from the hardrive partion so it is not so long.
Re: HP pavilion a6700f internet connection problems
Re: HP pavilion a6700f internet connection problems
There are a few things you could do before blaming someone .(HP)
First Check your IP Address (Go to Start/Start search/Type CMD /Rightclick run as administrator /ipconfig)
There is a internet Diagnostic wizard in pc help and tools ,. try using that as well .
In CMD try running the following commands
1:netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
2:Netsh int ip reset resetall
3:ipconfig/flush dns
restart your computer
click on the (Start/Start search /type hardware diagnostic tool /do a test on network card under communication )

Talk:PBI Manager
From PC-BSD Wiki
Revision as of 01:04, 7 February 2012 by Tigersharke (Talk | contribs)
Clarity issue?
Umm.. between 'PBI Module builder guide' and 'PBI Manager' wiki pages, there seems to be some disagreement of duplicated topics- specifically the pbi.conf file. One may be incomplete, therefore only tells of like 5 variables to use within the pbi.conf file, while the other shows the firefox pbi.conf file containing those and more stuff.
My *primary* need, is to know how to build a PBI from a port, and have it use the options I choose (as 'make config' would allow) if building directly from ports. I have tried unsuccessfully to get Quassel (irc client/core/mono suite) to successfully build just the mono[lithic] version.
--Tigersharke 01:03, 26 September 2011 (PDT)
Answer via mailing list:
At this time, you would need to add additional ports or make options into a PBI module by hand. For your example: 1) Use EasyPBI to create a module for mail/claws-mail 2) Open up (home-dir)/EasyPBI/Modules/claws-mail/pbi.conf 3) Edit the PBI_MAKEOPTS line to read: [PBI_MAKEOPTS="WITH_SPAMASSASSIN=yes"] (quotes needed) 4) Save the file and then use that module to build your PBI with EasyPBI I have thought about adding this type of functionality to EasyPBI in the past, but it is quite difficult to automatically detect the exact build options that are available for a given port without looking at the MakeFile for the port (in our example freshports only lists SPAMASSASSIN as a make option, the actual makefile shows the actual variable that needs to be set is WITH_SPAMASSASSIN). While this is not impossible functionality to add, it will take quite a bit to get working right, so I decided to get other aspects of EasyPBI working properly first. Eventually I probably will come back and revamp how EasyPBI lets you edit the pbi.conf of the module, but it might not be for a little while.

Thank this author by sharing:
By Steve Jones,
Yesterday I republished a piece on cloud computing, and I was struck by a sentence in the piece. I had written " Paul Nielsen says inside of 2 years we'll be leaning cloud first, local server second and in 5 hosting your own data will seem obsolete." I had written I was skeptical of that, but I wanted to revisit the topic. It's been 4.5 years since I wrote that, so it's close to five years.
Are we thinking cloud first for SQL Server applications? I can say that for the businesses I've considered or engaged in, we do think about cloud type services first. The cost and hassles of procuring hardware mean that for a small business, I'm not sure it's worth renting space in your own, or even someone else's, data center. It's much more cost effective and easier to rent a virtual machine or two from Azure, AWS, Rackspace or another vendor. For many non-database services, like email, it's probably better just to contract for a service, and not even concern yourself with machines or software.
For larger, more established businesses, however, I'm not sure that most SQL Server professionals think cloud first. There are still lots of concerns over security, control, and performance. Most DBAs I know do think virtual machines in many cases, but without their own infrastructure, not the cloud.
I do think we could get to the point where many DBAs think about the cloud first, but only if their clients find provisioning a new server inside isn't as smooth as clicking a few buttons. For the DBAs that ensure new databases can be created quickly and easily, I would guess that their clients would never even bother mentioning the cloud.

Utrecht Shopping
768 Views
Come to Utrecht by train and start shopping. 'Hoog Catharijne' is one of Holland's largest indoor shopping areas and has a broad diversity of shops. Shopping arcade Hoog Catharijne is connected to Utrecht Central Station, which makes a daytrip by train ideal. However, the narrow streets in Utrecht, as well as the general and specialty markets, also have an irresistible appeal.
Shopping Streets of Utrecht
To succeed in fashion shopping in Utrecht stroll around the streets 'Lijnmarkt', 'Oude Gracht', 'Choorstraat', 'Oudkerkhof' and 'Korte Minrebroederstraat'. Big brands and small boutiques with fashion, accessories and jewelry are lined up side by side. As motorized traffic is banned from the heart of the city, you will be able to shop at your leisure.
At a ten minute walk from the city center lies the 'Nachtegaalstraat'. This street has some great shops, such as interior design shops and some splendid delicatessen. You can also visit several markets in Utrecht, such as the flower market on Janskerkhof and on the Oudegracht, the 'lapjesmarkt' (fabrics market) on Breedstraat and the general market on Vredenburg square.
The Town of Zeist
If you love chic boutiques and haute couture you should visit Zeist. This little town is just a ten minute drive away from Utrecht. Spend an afternoon in the streets 'Slotlaan', 'Hogeweg', 'Voorheuvel' and 'Steynlaan' to still your hunger for fashion.

If you have read any of my food columns, then you know I love a good story to go along with a good recipe. Well I've hit the jackpot with this week's recipe -- Resurrection rolls, or some may know this recipe as empty tombs.
Five ingredients make up this recipe, and all of the ingredients represent something to help tell the story of Easter.
The marshmallows used represent the body of Jesus. The butter represents the oils used in the burial. The cinnamon and sugar mixture represent the spices used to perfume the body. The crescent roll dough represents the tomb.
The idea is to help tell the story of Easter to children while they help you make the rolls. After the rolls have cooked and cooled, cut them down the middle and you can see that the marshmallow has melted into the roll, which represents the tomb being empty following the Resurrection of Jesus.
I was introduced to this recipe last year by a very sweet mother-like figure in my life, Patricia Richardson. Of course, the rolls are absolutely delicious, but I have to say the story behind them is life changing.
Happy Easter!
Resurrection rolls:
Start to finish: approximately 30 minutes
One can of refrigerated crescent roll dough (eight-count)
Large marshmallows
Butter, melted (at least 1/4 cup)
Preheat the oven according to the directions on the crescent roll package.
Mix cinnamon and sugar in a bowl together and set aside.
Dip a marshmallow into the melted butter and then roll it into the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
Place the marshmallow on a tip of the triangular-shaped crescent dough and roll toward the large end.
Pinch the dough together firmly at any open spaces and at the edges.
Bake as directed.
Let the rolls cool before cutting them open.
Tip: Make sure all of the edges are pinched together well, or marshmallow will leak out onto the pan.

November 30, 2015
AUSTIN (February 20, 2013)--A small group of demonstrators chanting "more funding now!" gathered Wednesday in front of the Texas Capitol to call for restoring $5.4 billion in cuts to public education approved by the Legislature in 2011.
The advocacy group "Save Texas Schools," which has launched an online petition calling for a rollback of funding reductions passed two years ago, organized Wednesday's gathering.
Save Texas Schools expects thousands of students, teachers, parents, school administrators and community activists to gather at the Capitol on Saturday as part of its larger, annual rally in Austin.
Meanwhile, a group of lawmakers from both parties in the state House were discussing the possibility of restoring as much as nearly $1 billion to public education without exceeding spending limits in the current Texas budget.

The larynx, or voice box, is located in the neck and performs several important functions in the body. The larynx is involved in swallowing, breathing, and voice production. Sound is produced when the air which passes through the vocal cords causes them to vibrate and create sound waves in the pharynx, nose and mouth. The pitch of sound is determined by the amount of tension on the vocal folds.

The noise startled me.
I ran to my dining room window to investigate. Nothing seemed wrong.
I stepped outside to look around. The investigation didn't take long.
A huge, bright orange paint splat was on my house, evidently from a drive-by paintball gun shooting. I wonder if it was those same cocks who chucked a raw egg at my front door a while back!
I didn't know who it was. And I have no way of ever finding out.
Conventional wisdom suggests it was the work of unsavory teenagers. Dicks!
It was hard for me to understand why someone would arbitrarily choose my house to shoot. I don't have any history in town. It would have been impossible for me to be an intentional target.
They just happened to be driving down my street, and they just happened to pull the trigger toward my house.
Simply chance doing what chance does.
I couldn't believe someone could be so reckless, disrespectful and irresponsible!
Twenty Years Earlier
When I was 17, one of my older friends (20) was an assistant manager at a local Pizza Hut restaurant. He would "accidentally" put the wrong toppings on pizzas so they couldn't be sold to customers and so that his friends (us) could have free pizza.
After 9 p.m., the restaurant would close and a few of us would often hang out to munch on pizza or breadsticks and drink pitchers of beer while the staff blasted loud rock music and cleaned the kitchen and dining room floor.
After my friend got off work, we would typically go cruising and flirt with random girls along a popular avenue for doing so.
But one night, we thought of something else to do first.
It may not still be this way today, but nearly 20 years ago, Pizza Hut and restaurants like it, would serve soft drinks from machines that mixed syrup and water.
The syrup came in very large, silver bags. When completely full, they were quite heavy.
When empty, the staff would throw them in the dumpster behind the building. But that night, someone had a "better" idea.
Kids Will Be Kids
My phone buzzed in my pocket when my neighbor Ryan who lives across the street sent me a text message.
"Do you know whose car that is parked in front of your house?"
"Yeah. It's my mom's. She's visiting. Do you need me to move it?"
"No man. Someone broke through the driver's side window."
"Shit. Really? Okay. Thanks for the heads up."
I told my mom what Ryan had just told me. We both went out to investigate. And sure enough, the window was broken, only it had exploded outward, not in toward the driver's seat as one would expect if someone had smashed through it to steal something.
It didn't take us long to spot the tiny bullet hole.
Not like a 9mm or anything. More like a small pellet from a powerful air rifle. I called the police to let them know. The officer agreed with my amateur crime-scene analysis. Vandals had shot through the driver's side window with a pellet gun, and then the window exploded outward from the reverse pressure.
Probably teens.
They just happened to be driving down my street, and they just happened to pull the trigger toward my mom's car window.
Simply chance doing what chance does.
I couldn't believe someone could be so reckless, disrespectful and irresponsible!
Almost Involuntary Manslaughter
A couple of the guys filled up the empty soft drink syrup bag full of water. We were going to make the biggest water balloon imaginable and drop it from the highest place we could.
Four or five of us piled into a pickup truck with the huge, and now very heavy, syrup bladder full of water.
We drove just a little bit outside of town to a country-road overpass which sat above a highway.
This was going to be awesome.
Sometimes I wonder about the person driving that car.
Maybe it was a young kid like us. Or maybe someone's mom or dad. Maybe there was a family in the car with a baby in the backseat.
It could have been anyone.
Travelling 60 or so miles per hour in the dead of night, any animal jumping out in front of the car could have made the driver lose control. Most alert drivers are at least moderately aware of that possibility in such locations.
But they almost never look up.
I don't know who suggested we wait for a car to come. But everyone thought it was a good idea.
The plan WAS NOT to drop the heavy bag on top of a car travelling at high speeds. But we did think it would be funny to drop a large dark object in front of an oncoming car, giving them enough time to see it fall and explode on the road in front of them.
A hilarious joke!
We saw a set of headlights ahead. This is the one! Hurry!
"Go!" someone yelled and we all moved to pick up the large water-filled bladder and heave it over the short wall. We didn't plan for the difficulty involved in maneuvering the heavy bag and it took us longer than we'd intended, but with so many people lifting and throwing, there was no way to stop it from happening.
The car was coming fast.
Our massive water balloon dropped over the side and exploded onto the highway below entirely too close to the oncoming vehicle. Some of us watched. Some of us ducked down behind the overpass wall.
Tires screeched.
We gritted our teeth, hearts racing, waiting for the crash.
But there was no crash.
The driver saved the car somehow. We ran to the other side of the overpass. We watched the car slowly inch forward, the driver trying to figure out what had just happened. We didn't stick around to see what would happen next.
We jumped in the pickup and fled back to Pizza Hut.
To our cars.
Back to the avenue where girls were waiting to be flirted with and asked for their phone numbers.
Just kids being kids.
Just chance doing what chance does.

I'll admit that it was the pastoral vision of a laundry line full of sun-bleached diapers above barefooted, rosy-cheeked, milk-fattened babies that first drew my attention toward cloth diapers. The idea of replacing an expensive disposable "necessity"most babies will use an average of 5000 diapers with a much cheaper reusable version appealed to my frugal nature, too.
Buying new cloth diapers is still pretty expensive up front, so I decided to sew my own. The first diapers I made more than four years ago were used by both of my children, and now I've given some of them to a friend for her daughter and newborn son.
Since those first diapering days I've learned a lot, talked to many other cloth-diapering families, made a lot of diapers, and made some mistakes, too. I'll try to share some of what I've learned with you.
How many diapers you start with is completely dependent on how often you want to wash your diapers. We started off with two dozen diapers when our daughter was born, but if I had to do it again I'd start with at least three dozen for a newborn. I had to wash a load of diapers every single day, or risk running out. As your baby gets older he'll use fewer diapers each day, but it's still nice to have enough so you can go a day or two without washing.
Any fabric that absorbs liquid will work, but some fibers are better suited than others. Cotton, linen, and hemp are all natural fibers which absorb well. Included among these are birdseye, diaper twill, flannel, jersey and interlock (t-shirt fabric), terry cloth (bath towels) and stretch terry, and cotton and hemp fleece (not polyester polar fleece, that's different). You can get most of these fabrics from the stores listed in the resource guide at the end of this article.
Liquid absorbing microfiber towels (not those advertised for dusting), usually sold as shop towels also work very well as absorbent layers, even though they're synthetics.
You'll need good quality elastic, too. Something that will stand up to lots of hot-water washing and detergent is best, like swimwear elastic.
Don't discount the possibility of using old clothes, towels, and other found fabric to make diapers. I made a huge set of diapers out of a set of ugly queen-size flannel sheets and an old cotton bath towel, and the only cost was for the elastic and snaps, about $10 total. T-shirts also make cute diapers; center the pattern of the t-shirt on the "bottom" of the diaper, and use the sleeves as extra absorbent layers.
When scavenging for soaker materials, look for items with a high percentage of cotton. The outside of the diaper can be just about any kind of fabric, as long as it can stand up to repeated washing. The layer next to baby's bottom can be anything soft that doesn't repel moisture.
There are a number of ways you can keep these diapers on your baby.
If you have a few diaper pins, then by all means use them. Not many babies can figure out how to undo them to escape their diapers. Use a bar of soap as a "pin cushion" for your diaper pins, and you'll have a much easier time pinning your diapers. If you're too nervous about poking your baby, there are a number of other options available.
For self-fastening diapers, your options are plastic (polyacetal resin) snaps, or hook and loop tape (Velcro, Aplix, and Touch Tape are a few brand names).
Everyone has a preferenceI really like plastic snaps, to the point that I've invested in a snap press (about $60) and replaced all of my velcro diapers with snap diapers. But, I realize not everyone wants to invest in a press, so the pattern I'll give you uses hook and loop tape. It is easy to sew on or repair at home without special equipment, makes for a more adjustable diaper, and is easy to find at your local fabric store.
Washing diapers is easy! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. It takes hardly any time out of my day.
Here's our basic routine. We "dry pail" our diapers, which means after each diaper change we shake any solids into the toilet, then put the diaper in a laundry basket with no water until we have enough for a load of laundry. You can sprinkle a little baking soda in the pail to help neutralize odors, if you find it necessary.
When it's time to run the load, usually every other day, I first run a cold rinse with plain water onlyno detergent. Then I run a long hot wash with about ½ the recommended amount of detergent and a scoop of oxygen based bleach, like Oxy-clean or Oxy-boost. That's it! After that, the diapers should smell super cleanclean enough that you can stick your nose right into them for a big fresh-smelling whiffand they go into the dryer or out on the laundry line.
Don't use regular bleach too often, or you'll find that your diapers begin to deteriorate quickly. If you feel that you're having sanitation problems, then by all means use it, but for stains, I find that sunshine is the best remedy of all.
Sometimes, no matter how many times you wash the diapers, they just smell funny, or cause diaper rash, or look dirty. It can be a trick diagnosing the issue, but it usually comes down to one of two things (or a combination of both): detergent not rinsing out of your diapers all the way, or the pH of the diapers not being balanced. Either of these things can cause diaper rash, strong smell, and premature disintegration of your diapers, so the quicker you solve these problems, the happier everyone will be. The detergent problem is easy to resolve. Just continue rinsing the diapers until there are no suds left in the washer at all. Try reducing the amount of detergent you use, or switching detergents, too. If you have a severe detergent build up, you might have to run your diapers through several plain water wash cycles to get it all out. Diapers are one instance where you don't want to use any sort of laundry soap, because it will always leave a bit of residue behind.
Not all laundry detergents are created equal, and not all work well for washing diapers. Some can cause pH balance problems, some leave behind a residue that can build up in your diapers, and others simply do a poor job of cleaning. When shopping for detergents, try to choose a brand that doesn't contain any of these: enzymes, optical brighteners, fragrances, dyes, bleach, or fabric softeners.
It may take a few tries to find a detergent that you're happy with, but don't despair, there's one out there that will work. For a list of detergents that have been rated by users of cloth diapers, visit Diaper Jungle.
As with most other aspects of cloth diapering, though, detergents are a matter of personal preference. I know plenty of families that use the same detergent that they use for their regular laundry, with excellent results.

As with most other aspects of cloth diapering, though, detergents are a matter of personal preference. I know plenty of families that use the same detergent that they use for their regular laundry, with excellent results.
The other problem, which can take some more time to figure out, is unbalanced pH level of your diapers. I'm no chemist, but I'll try to explain it a little. pH is the measure of how acidic or basic something is. It ranges from 0-14, with pure water considered neutral, at a pH of 7. That's the number we're shooting for here, too. Numbers lower than 7 indicate that a compound is acidic, and higher numbers indicate a basic makeup. The things that affect the pH of your diapers include the water you wash them in, the detergent you use, and your baby's waste. It's easy to find out the pH of your diapers with litmus paper. It's cheap, and you can usually find it at a pool supply store. Or you can order it from Edmund Scientifics (1-800-728-6999, or www.scientificsonline.com). Just place the litmus paper on a wet diaper to get a reading. Once you know what pH you're starting with, you'll know whether you need to add vinegar (acid) or baking soda (basic) to every load of diaper laundry to keep the pH balanced. (If your diapers are very acidic, try using washing soda insteadit is even more basic than baking soda.)
I've included a half pattern for a basic diaper pattern that you'll have to trace in order to make a full pattern. As printed, the pattern will make a newborn-sized diaper. To make a larger or smaller diaper, enlarge the pattern using the diaper size chart as a guideline. (You can also download a file that includes the full pattern in sizes from Newborn up to Toddler from my blog: ../blogs/Bramblestitches.)
Babies vary greatly in size, and they grow ridiculously fast, so these are just guidelines. Your three month old may already be big enough to wear 6-12 month diapers, and tall thin children may stay in smaller sizes longer.
If you want to try out cloth diapers without making a big investment, here's a great pattern for you. This pattern can be made with a regular sewing machine, and all of the materials are inexpensive and should be easy to scavenge or find at your local fabric store. Another feature of these diapers is that they're easy to wash and dry, because they're fairly trim, with only three layers of flannel and one or two layers of toweling. The extra absorbency comes from a lay-in doubleran additional piece of toweling or absorbent cloth that folds up and sits inside the diaper. I remember the very first diapers I ever made took three hours in the dryer. Nobody can afford that kind of utility bill every month, not to mention the backed up laundry it caused. These can dry in a regular cycle with no problem, and in just a few hours on the clothesline (even in very humid North Carolina).
You'll need:
First, trace the half pattern so that you're working with a full diaper pattern. Cut three pieces of your main fabric from the pattern, and two pieces of terry or toweling from the soaker pattern piece.
Your three pieces of flannel are for the outside, the in-between layer, and the inside.
The soaker is sewn to the in-between layer. Center the rectangles of terry cloth on the diaper, and sew in place with a zig-zag stitch or medium-length straight stitch.
Now you'll assemble the diaper. Layer your three diaper pieces as follows: inside layer face up, then outside layer face down, then in-between layer with soaker facing up. Pin around the edge, and sew ¼" from the edge, leaving about a four-inch wide gap along the front edge of the diaper for turning.
Now you'll sew on the elastic. How long your elastic is depends on how stretchy it is and how chubby or thin your baby is. A good starting point for small diapers is 4" for each piece of elastic. Tack each end of elastic down at the elastic marks in the seam allowance. When you have all three pieces of elastic sewn on, turn the diaper right side out, and pin around the edge. Pin the front turning hole closed, and stretch the elastic areas as you pin. When you sew around the edge, you don't want to catch the elastic again, so push the elastic right up to the edge of the diaper before you pin.
Now you'll topstitch around the entire diaper, closing the front turning hole at the same time. Where there is no elastic, stitch close to the edge, about 1/8" away, and where there is elastic, stitch just on the other side of the elastic, about 5/8" away from the edge of the diaper. Don't sew through the elastic as you stitch; the idea is to make a casing for the elastic so it can move and stretch freely.
Next, attach your velcro. Cut a piece of loop velcro to fit the front of the diaper right up to the edges. Round the corners just a little bit so they won't poke baby. Sew onto the outside front with a zig-zag stitch. Cut two pieces of hook and two pieces of loop about 1-1½" each for the back tabs. Sew to the inside back edges with a zig-zag stitch. The extra piece of loop here is so you can fold the hook back before washing. This will help keep the hook part lint-free, and will also help keep your diapers from all sticking to each other in the laundry and becoming a "diaper snake."
Since these diapers are designed to be fairly thin and easy to wash, you'll probably want to make a batch of diaper doublers, too. Doublers are like an extra soaker that can be folded and placed inside the diaper to increase the diaper's absorbency. I make mine out of one layer of bath towel and one layer of flannel or t-shirt. Cut your doubler pieces the length of your soaker and three times wider. With right sides together, stitch all the way around the edge, leaving a few inches unsewn for turning. Turn the doubler right side out, then top stitch all around, closing the turning hole as you stitch. Sew two more straight lines through the center of the doubler to separate it into thirds. To use, just fold the doubler in thirds and lay inside the diaper.
Unless you like having a damp-bottomed baby sitting on your lap, you'll probably want a few diaper covers.
My favorite diaper covers are made out of old, thin wool sweaters from the thrift store. Choose a sweater that is fairly thin and soft, and at least 80% wool. Machine wash and dry the sweater a time or two to felt it a little. This way you can cut into it and not worry about it coming unravelled at the edge, and it will make it easier to care for in the future.
Use the same pattern you used for your diapers, but add about two inches to the width of the pattern. The extra stretch in the sweater fabric or fleece will also help to make up the extra length needed to fit over a diaper. Cut two pieces for the diaper cover using the pattern.
The cover is assembled just like a diaper, except there is no "hidden layer" or soaker. With right sides together, sew around the edge of the cover, leaving a hole for turning. Sew on your elastic as if you were making a diaper. Turn the cover right side out, pin, and topstitch around the edge, remembering to sew on the otherside of the elastic at the back and leg edges. Add velcro and you're done!
Allow the soaker to thoroughly dry and air out between uses. When soiled, wash gently by hand and let air dry.
If you're going to make your own cloth diapers, you may as well make some washable cloth diaper wipes, too. You can make them any size you like, but I find between six and eight inches square to be the most useful size. These can be as rudimentary or fancy as you like. You could simply cut a washcloth into quarters and call it done. Or sew around a layer of terry toweling and a layer of flannel right sides together, turn them right side out, and topstitch around the edge for some very high-class wipes.
There are volumes of information on the internet about cloth diapering, but unfortunately not too many printed books on the subject. What I learned, I did by trial and error and by wading through the thousands of electronic documents out there.
I hope your experience with cloth diapering is a good one, made better by saving your family a good chunk of change, and the satisfaction that comes from making something with your own two hands. Good luck!

While it may take some time to digest the new format, which is
a bit more
complicated than the old shoot-it-out Super 14, the new format offers
something for
everyone (yes, even Australia) and has plenty of twists and turns to
ensure the drama we
all know so well continues longer than 7de Laan.
So read on, get your head around the new format and make sure
you are well-informed for
the action that will hit your screens on SuperSport as from February
1. Teams and conferences.
· The "conference" is a new addition to
Super Rugby, but is basically
an easy way of dividing teams up into their respective countries.
SANZAR consists of South
Africa, New Zealand and Australia, and in the new Super Rugby
competition, each country
- or conference - will have five teams.
· Teams will play in the overall
competition as before, but will also find
themselves in a mini-competition against their own compatriots to
determine each conference's winner.
2. Matches
· Each team will play 16 games through the
season, eight home and eight away.
But in contrast to the Super 14, your team will play the other teams in
your conference
(country) on a home and away basis. For instance, the Stormers will
face the Sharks,
Kings, Bulls and Cheetahs home and away through the season.
· Intermingled with this are the
international matches. To keep the
international flavour, each team will play four of the five teams in
the other
conferences. i.e. The Stormers will face four of the five Australian
teams and four of the
five New Zealand teams during the season on a ONE-OFF basis.
· This means each team will play 12 of its
16 regular-season games within its
own country – with only four matches overseas.
· Half of all regular season matches will
be local derbies
· To put it in a nutshell, there are now
logs to watch. Each conference (country) has its own "internal" log
whereby the
conference winner will be chosen.
· Then there is an overall log, which
encompasses all 15 teams and from which
the other three qualifiers will be chosen.
· Each conference (country) winner will be
guaranteed a playoff spot. However,
if you look at the overall log, the two conference (country) winners
who finish higher,
will claim home semifinal places.
· The lowest ranked of the three conference
winners will face a playoff –
a virtual quarterfinal if you like – at home against a wildcard
While it is technically true that one country – say Australia – can
have a
nightmare season with its teams finishing 11th to 15th and still claim
a playoff spot,
this is unlikely to happen.
· The top two teams then have a bye, while
the third conference winner and three qualifiers battle it out for a
semifinal spot in a virtual quarterfinals.
· Thus, using the
example on the left, the Bulls, Hurricanes and Brumbies would win their
· If you compare these three sides' overall
points you will see the Bulls
and Hurricanes would qualify first and second and therefore have the
right to host home
semifinals in the competition.
· The Brumbies, by virtue of finishing the
lowest of the three conference
winners, would get a home playoff game.
· The other three teams will be decided by
points, irrespective of their
countries, and looking at the example again, this means the Stormers,
Waratahs and
Crusaders would qualify fourth, fifth and sixth in the playoff set-up.
· In the playoff round the Brumbies, who
qualified third, would face the sixth
placed qualifier, ie the Crusaders in Canberra. The Stormers would host
the Waratahs in
Cape Town.
· We've already established the Bulls and
Hurricanes would host home
semifinals in this example.
· But to determine who plays who in the
semifinal is another matter, as the
competition rules state the highest-ranked qualifier would play the
team ranked second.
This means should the Brumbies (3rd) win their playoff game, they would
face the
Hurricanes, with the winner of the other game facing the Bulls.
· However, should the Brumbies lose to the
Crusaders, then the Hurricanes would
face the highest ranked team, ie the winner of the other playoff game.
· The Bulls would automatically face the
lowest ranked qualifier, showing how
important it would be to top the log and the reward that goes with it.
· After all of the above has played itself
out, the final will be at the home
ground of the highest ranked side. Obviously if the team ranked top of
the log qualifies,
they will get a home final.
· But if say the sixth (Crusaders) and
fourth (Stormers) sides qualify for the
final, then it will be at the fourth placed side (Stormers) home
We understand its a mouthful, and lots to comprehend, but
Super Rugby is here to stay.

to clear up any confusion.

Lenovo rolls quad-core and Atom-based IdeaCentres
updated 12:40 pm EST, Tue January 13, 2009
Lenovo K220 and H200
Lenovo on Tuesday introduced three new desktops, including its first-ever nettop. At the high end, the IdeaCentre K220 and K230 are both upgrades to the older K210 and add options for faster Core 2 Quad chips as well more storage headroom (up to 1TB), Blu-ray and GeForce 9300M GE integrated video capable of full HD decoding. The PC builder makes each model a trade-off with the K220 having an optional webcam with face recognition but a maximum 4GB of memory; the K230 drops the webcam choice but handles up to 8GB of memory.
Stock models still begin at the rough performance levels of the K210. A K220 starts at $539 with the unusual configuration of a 2.4GHz Pentium dual-core, 2GB of memory, a 250GB hard drive and just Intel's basic GMA X3100 video but with a Blu-ray combo drive. Despite its higher maximum configuration, the K230 starts out at a lower $499 with a similar processor and graphics but with a DVD drive, a larger 500GB hard disk and 5GB of memory.
The IdeaCentre H200 is Lenovo's first Atom-based desktop and takes advantage of the very low-power CPU to render the system fanless and very quiet. It carries the specs of most typical high-end Atom systems with a 1.6GHz part, 1GB of memory and a 160GB hard drive but comes with a DVD reader to perform more conventional desktop chores.
The H200 ships first of the trio and is already available with prices starting at $299; a $339 version doubles the RAM to 2GB and disk space to 320GB, while a $399 version bundles a 19-inch display.

Last season, Arte Moreno was willing to pay top dollar to get the best free agent. He ended up saving a dime by opting to trade for Vernon Wells... except that transaction didn't work out well.
This season, Moreno isn't as willing to flash his wallet, the Orange County Register reports. Moreno admitted that payroll got a bit unwieldy last season as payroll soared to a franchise-high $142 million thanks to Wells and two free-agent signings in Scott Downs and Hisanori Takahashi. And this year?
"I would say that $130 [million], $140 [million] range we're pretty comfortable in," the owner said.
The Angels have $99 million allocated to just nine players next season, so it will be difficult for the club to round out the squad with capable players. Losing Joel Pineiro, Fernando Rodney and Russell Branyan will help, but neither were albatrosses either. They will also shed having to pay Gary Matthews Jr. and Scott Kazmir, which works in their favor even more, but arbitration raises are due to quite a few people, and significant raises could be on the way for Howie Kendrick and Erick Aybar in particular. After arbitration, the Angels could be around $120 million, which will leave them bargain-bin shopping for bullpen and rotation help.
This news likely leaves L.A. out in the cold for significant free agents, but things can change quickly.

Owner Moreno: Angels payroll to decrease
I'll believe this when I see it. I know that they aren't likely to be bidders for Pujols or Fielder or that calibur of player, but I can't see them passing on a chance to sign Aramis Ramirez to a reasonably contract. After you do that and a sign a few players for bullpen fodder, you're going to be close to 150 million. That trade to acquire Vernon Wells is going to sting for a couple more years unless he can turn things around.

Hero: David Freese. Period. He put the Cardinals ahead for good with a two-RBI double and later tacked on a two-run homer. In a lineup with three of the better power hitters in the baseball, Freese drove in four of the Cardinals' five runs.
Goat: Remember back at the start of the year when people liked to say the Phillies have "four aces." Yeah, they actually don't. Roy Oswalt isn't an ace anymore, and it showed Wednesday evening. Much of the "four aces" talk has morphed into "three aces," but after Wednesday's outing, it's pretty safe to say no one will continue to insist Oswalt is still the same pitcher he was three years ago. He coughed up six hits and five earned runs in five innings, even after being spotted a 2-0 lead before he even took the mound.
|PHI-STL NLDS Game 4
It was over when ... Freese sent an Oswalt pitch into the grass that serves as a batter's eye over the center-field wall. There's no way the Cardinals felt confident with that 3-2 lead, but the 5-2 lead had to have felt pretty secure.
Next: They'll meet again in Game 5 Friday night with the season on the line. The loser goes home, the winner heads to the NLCS. We know the Phillies are sending Ace No. 1, Roy Halladay, to the hill. The Cardinals will likely go with Chris Carpenter. Buckle up, it's a pair of aces.
