MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Victor Santos helped the Milwaukee Brewers trip
up the Chicago Cubs yet again.
Santos allowed just one run in 6 1-3 innings to win for the
first time since beating Chicago on July 16, and the Brewers
defeated the Cubs 3-1 Tuesday night.
Bill Hall had a two-run triple for last-place Milwaukee, which
was helped by Nomar Garciaparra's error and improved to 7-5 against
the Cubs this season.
"I'm tired of losing. It's frustrating," Cubs manager Dusty
Baker said.
Santos (10-8), who had lost five straight starts, struck out
six, walked one and allowed five hits. He gave up his only run in
the second, when Sammy Sosa put the Cubs ahead with his 26th homer.
Santos, who didn't reach the fifth inning in his previous three
starts, rebounded in the third to strike out Sosa with the bases
loaded. Sosa has just eight hits in his last 51 at-bats, a .157
"Once I got him to a full count, I just went after him with my
fastball," Santos said. "If he's going to do some damage, it's
going to be against my best pitch."
Santos improved to 3-1 with a 2.42 ERA against the Cubs this
season. He is just 3-6 at home.
"His command was so much better today," Milwaukee manager Ned
Yost said. "He was throwing his fastball exactly where he wanted
Dan Kolb pitched the ninth for his 34th save in 37 chances,
completing a seven-hitter.
"We had (Santos) on the ropes early," Baker said. "He threw
the ball good enough to beat us."
Carlos Zambrano (11-7), who lost for the first time in four
starts since July 24, gave up three runs -- two earned -- and five
hits in six innings. Chicago, fighting for the NL wild card-berth,
has lost four of its last five games and seven of 10.
"I made one mistake, and I lost the game," Zambrano said.
Hall hit his third triple of the season with two outs in the
third after Gary Bennett walked and Scott Podsednik hit an infield
"It started away on the corner," Hall said. "Fortunately,
enough of it sunk back over the good part of the plate."
In the fourth, Geoff Jenkins hit an infield single and took
second when Garciaparra made a high throw off the glove of first
baseman Derrek Lee for an error. Garciaparra has nine errors this
season, including three with the Cubs, who acquired him from Boston
on July 31.
"It's frustrating to see us make mistakes," Baker said. "It's
frustrating to see them get two-out base hits."
Jenkins advanced to third when Brady Clark reached on a fielding
error by second baseman Mark Grudzielanek and scored on Craig
Counsell's sacrifice fly to center field. Clark, who was running on
the play, appeared to have been thrown out by Corey Patterson as he
returned to first base but was called safe.

Rick Heltebrake has filed a claim for the $1 Million reward offered for the capture of Christopher Dorner.
I wrote about a Big Bear couple and an Angelous Oaks ranger today each making their bid for a $1 million reward offered in the capture of Christopher Dorner.
Both think they should be awarded the entire sum of the reward exclusively, which was outlined inletters to Los Angeles County Supervisors, the LA City Council and the City of Irvine.
The lawyer for Rick Heltebrake, who was carjacked by Christopher Dorner, got back to me after my deadline, but did release an official statement.
From Allen L. Thomas, Thomas Law Firm Incorporated:
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa offered a one million dollar reward for the apprehension and capture of Christopher Dorner, who in cold blood had already killed three people and wounded two others, when the offer was made. The reward was undoubtedly made to heighten public awareness and vigilance to give police additional eyes in the community to find Dorner.
Rick Heltebrake is the full time camp ranger at Long Beach Area Council, B.S.A. Camp Tahquitz located in the San Bernardino Mountains in the Barton Flats area, which is approximately 45 minutes to an hour away from Big Bear City.
Mr. Heltebrake was patrolling the camp property driving his truck on Glass Road, a public road that runs on Camp Tahquitz property. Dorner jumped out of a snow bank and confronted Mr. Heltebrake at gun point and stole his truck. As Mr. Heltebrake escaped into the woods, he immediately contacted a San Bernardino County Deputy Sheriff and reported what had just occurred. He gave the deputy Dorner's exact location and a description of his truck.
Mr. Heltebrake's direct contact to the deputy sheriff was the reason Dorner was apprehended and captured at a cabin adjacent to Glass Road; the report brought the manhunt directly to Glass Road. Until then, Dorner's whereabouts were unknown. Mr. Heltebrake has accepted the Mayor's offer of a reward and the City of Los Angeles is contractually bound to honor the Mayor's offer and pay the reward to Mr. Heltebrake.
The Richards' attorney is entitled to his opinion about how law enforcement was led to Glass Road to apprehend and capture Christopher Dorner. However, the simply fact remains that the whereabouts of Christopher Dorner was unknown until Mr. Heltebrake telephoned an on duty deputy sheriff and reported Dorner's exact location.
The stolen Nissan had nothing to do with law enforcement responding to Glass Road and their capture of Dorner. They responded because of Mr. Heltebrake's actions and for that reason he is entitled to the entire reward. If the Richards' attorney has indisputable evidence about who is entitled to the reward, he should produce the evidence to back up his opinion.
Otherwise, he should let the City of Los Angeles Police Department conduct their investigation and not cast asphersions on Mr. Heltebrake, who was also a crime victim. Mr. Heltebrake will fully cooperate with the Los Angeles Police Department and any other agency invovled in the investigation to provide them with evidence to substantiate his claim for the reward.
To help with the LAPD's investigation and further establish Mr. Heltebrake's right to the reward, I have requested that the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department provide copies of all reports, dispatch records, and other pertinent information pertaining to the apprehension and capture of Christopher Dorner on February 12, 2013. We expect the Sheriff to comply with California law and promptly provide the reports to us.

Democratic revolution and a political coup: the difference.
The 'Arab Spring', Ukraine ... Russia? What revolution would be able to make political system really democratic?
Our whole civilization, including technics, culture and social device, was thought up sometime and by someone. Freethinkers and truly revolutionary ideas give it a steady forward motion. Meanwhile, much of what is passed off as 'revolution' is no more than a change of signboard and 'icons'...
The "Russian October Revolution", Comandante Che, the Arab democratic revolution - they have all been surrounded by a golden aura of epic heroism and people's hopes; however blind faith in 'great leaders' and outdated paradigm of unipolar power condemned freedom fighters to inevitable failure even before they begin. And Revolution returned to the starting point. But why? Was it a democratic revolution? And a revolution at all?
Revolution as a 'locomotive of history': The development of civilization is caused by our desire to know the world, by a change of ideas of it and by the creation of new technologies through which we are changing it and we are changing ourselves. All the false and the ineffective dies off and fading into history, carrying away needless sacrifices and resources; the technologies of common sense are representing achievements and the level of civilization now. Paying tribute to victims and to someone's ups and downs, it's worth noting that only the objective and forward development of technologies has a imperishable universal value to the civilization and our descendants. ... of technologies that save and develop variety of cultures and surrounding world, and expand possibilities of Homo Sapiens. Including a reasonable organization and political forms of government, outside of someone's current misbeliefs, ideological speculation and religions. As a step forward, political revolution is not replacing ideologies and their owners, but changing the way of governance for the changed society.
With the same approach, the democratic revolution — a completely new way of looking and the innovation in a system of social relations and governance, that create conditions for the harmonious coexistence and development of different cultures and parts of society. If it fails to do then it is merely yet another 'palace coup' bringing grist to someone else's mill. In the absence of a new, revolutionary technology of governance 'Arab democratic revolutions' (now and Ukrainian) were pointless and doomed to failure even before they started. Replacing leaders and 'religions' doesn't abolish a system allowing arbitrary rule. And the sacrifices were in vain.
On a wave of popular discontent, the so-called "democratic revolution" puts forth new idols and "freedom fighters" with a "opposite" ideology and with the temptations of the "Gardens of Eden" and "Factories to the Workers!" for the unthinking majority. But by preserving the obsolete system of monocracy, the revolution of one 'great leader' or one speculative ideology is only exchanging one oppressive regime for another and "make people's chains heavier than before". — J.-J. Rousseau
The suggestible majority naively believes that electing the 'right' political party and the 'right' leader will fix all its problems and will lead to a 'bright future'. The cult of the leader and domination of ONE party can forcibly redistribute National resources and provide a social minimum, but equally they oppress the freedom of initiatives and a competitive spirit within a society, concentrating only on own safety and privileges. The concomitant imitation of the natural, fully-fledged development by means of delusional campaigns and the propaganda bluff only sets back the nation back by decades. Suffice it to recall the effects of the 'Food Programme' in the Soviet Union or 'Cultural Revolution' in China. (Blessed are those of 'Great Leaders' who doesn't live to see a senile dementia!)
Secondly, the the unilaterality and subjectivity of unipolar governance system increase contradictions in the society and the economy When the imbalance is accumulating, it provokes economic crises, loss of trust of the population and the subsequent change of a regime.
At last, in the absence of real dependence on society and open interparty competition the one-party political system is drowning in intrigues and corruption and thus is being degraded from the inside;it is not capable for self-renewal and are uncompetitive. And the imposed political regimes die away together with their despotic owners leaving behind the poverty-stricken and backward country.
It is a natural mode of work of the one-party monopoly. It does not work in a different way!
What's next? Need a new democratic revolution?
After the fall of totalitarian 'democratic' regimes their THINKING prisoners are turning to the democratic experience of more free and rich western countries (where the sighs about the crisis of their democracy are voiced more and more often). But longed-for western democratic system as a result of bourgeois revolution was never a democracy also, if only at the barricades. The essence of capitalism is a accumulation of capital through price manipulation and at the expense of those who create it directly. Under total money fetish, power and domination will always belong to those who have them bigger. Hidden or clearly. With the growth of the Big Money, the political system which started as a republic has fast degenerated into the plutocracy — an elective but badly hidden monarchy of moneybags who undividedly use national resources and through price profiteering parasitize on the rest of the population while allowing them some freedom for own safety. Where temporarily reigning 'guarantors of democracy' serve the interests only of the main sponsors of their election campaigns. During this kind of 'democratic messianism' in third countries — especially ('barbarians' may be paid at levels below, and it is possible to steal their resources in a civilized manner, thus depriving them of self-development opportunity and increasing the welfare of 'metropolitan states'). Again the colonization and slavery — economic, technological and cultural, the role of eternal outsider and supplier of sales markets, cheap labor and raw material resources? ... under the dominance of local and foreign elites? — Who is 'for'?
Which western political system is actually democratic and capable to work effectively for the whole society?
The old-fashioned periwigs of 'respected lords' in the parliament which perseveres today that served as a democratic system of checks and balances for absolute rulers were primordially designed just to protect their own interests within feudalism. In addition, the over-crowded and unstructured nature of parliament is not conducive to the discipline, quality and speed of decision-making as well as an effective fight against corruption. In spite of subsequent modernizations (e.g. Glorious Revolution of 1688), this bulky and amorphous superstructure 'under the big boss' still is deprived of the opportunity to choose priorities and is not motivated by the inter-group competitionfor leadership and for leadership and for the voices of voters.
The dreams of the coming revolution?
At last, under proportional representation the minority political party can't have any significant influence on decisions. These innate defects do not allow "democratic parliamentary government" to effectively represent the interests of all parts of the population thus making it unable to adapt to the modern multicultural society. By origin - it is a rookery for loafers who raise their own status at public expense.
The 'Big Brother of everyone' and himself promotes his, elite controlled version of 'democratic revolution' to the countries of 'the third world'. But is it a democracy? Or this is merely the export of hidden corporate claims to world economic and political domination and resources of other countries with the lickspittle support of local vassals? In order to export democracy, it would be nice, as minimum, to have it.
By the way, and bipartisan "duelling" (two-party political system) is indeed a fascinating spectacle for the politically naive, and it does indeed distract from any kind of serious critique (dare we say "panem et circenses"?). The resulting winner will invariably favour the impresario, backed up by the money of the millions of simple-hearted sponsors. Everything becomes outdated without renewal. What were once useful past political movement with a working interparty competition have degenerated into a huckster's trick in the modern socially developed society. Now, with little effective difference in approach, the cunning "business model" connives at maintaining the financial status quo of the "Big Money", and is also cautious not to allow "strangers" into the powerful "club". This "closed joint-stock company" is intended not for "the rabble" who are creating the nation's wealth but only for the business elite that is appropriating it "on legal grounds" by its own laws; with that, the degrees of their freedom are separated by the thickness of a purse. The monetization of laws, health care, education, pre-election campaign, etc. puts citizens in obviously unequal conditions. What about a declaration of the "democratic society of equal opportunity"? Meanwhile, the healthy and intelligent nation is possible only when the honest competition and equal access of all its citizens to nationwide resources. However, the slyness of two-party system is a question of common sense and political choice of Americans themselves.
But it's hardly the same democracy, as Abraham Lincoln described it, that is to say "government of the people, by the people and for the people"! A 'democratic system' thought up by the elite is working only for the elite. The democracy for the people can be established only by the people itself; to be precise, by its thinking part.
Unipolar political systems and forms of government on the principle of "the one is the winner, the rest are the losers" were thought up for the elite-hereditary domination over other people, BE IT A CAPITALISM OR A "COMMUNISM". They are unobjective and unjust from the start and will never be able to bring freedom, peace and stable equilibrium to a multiform and permanently changing society. Therefore political protests and coups are repeated now and again ...
The other side of the same coin: the admirers of their own superiority assert about 'the willingness of the lower classes to perform menial work which enabled the higher classes to move civilization forward'. But genetically unpredictable combination of free-thinkers and first movers can be born in any family and country. Exactly they rather than hereditary parasites are the driving force of civilization. The racial, religious, economic and other speculative barriers and prejudices imposed by egoists for the conservation of their hereditary monopoly of Power and National Resources suppress the potential of the rest of society and impede the free and full-fledged progress of civilization.
Despite the resistance and artful imitations of ruling elites, old and new, with purpose of keeping their own monopoly and privileges, the development of civilization makes democratic change and the humanization of mankind inevitable. But, in a strange way. the democratic system is developing in the direction only of external, auxiliary and therefore vulnerable limiters of autocracy: division of the authorities, independent mass media, etc., without eliminating a source and the prime cause of arbitrariness and imbalance in the society: the system itself of unipolar power and individual decision-making. While common sense tells us a democracy" with one ruler, even if he was elected by the suggestible majority, this is a "temporary" monarchy with a tendency to the constant!
In a true democracy of several equal participants the balance of interests of different parts of society and the control have to be built into the democratic governance system as early as the decision-making stage. The competition for a survival their equal representatives in the power is more objective and stable motivation than a 'kind whim' any of leaders or the news interest of mass media. And the necessary tools are in their hands.
The last revolution?
The chronic abuses of those in power impel freethinkers to modernize an old or to search for new forms of government without anyone's domination. But the history shows that less-organized forms will inevitably be subordinated by more organized. Therefore, unlike the potential dictatorships of anarchy, of direct democracy of the inert and suggestible majority and its electronic version is not rejecting, to the contrary - reasonably using the energy and the organizing role of leadership:
A new, multipolar democratic government comprising several independent parties, which is built on the open and business competition for interests and votes of voters, with a movable centre of joint decisions and with an uncontrollable entrance for the candidate proposed by the people itself, would put an end to discord and would bring society together. The President isn't present more. It means that the conditions for someone's monopoly and domination also do not exist. A working multi-party system within the new democratic system will convert the steam of political ambitions into useful work and will become a guarantor of tolerance, social stability and well being of the society.
This governance revolution does not give preferences to any of the political ideologies; that is a self-balancing democratic governance system, a step to collective common sense and a new civilization.
Every nation has its symbols. 5-pointed stars can be found in the symbols of many countries. What do they mean? The plain and simple meaning of a five-pointed star is here: A multipolar democratic system.

Metro Scores $200 Million in Obama's Proposed Budget
There is much celebrating going on by Metro and transit expansion advocates around the region. In President Barack Obama's proposed budget for next year, a cool $200 million is set aside for Los Angeles under the "new starts" program. $100 million of that is set to go towards the Regional Connector and the other $100 million to the Westside Subway extension.
The $200 million is a record investment for the Los Angeles region and will help both projects be completed at lower cost to local taxpayers. Both projects are partially funded by the Measure R sales tax passed by voters in 2008.
This is certainly good news for Los Angeles, however there are a couple of major obstacles left before Metro can start cashing these checks.
First, the Republican majority in the House of Representatives has to play ball, and there are many reasons to believe they won't be willing to. Knowing that a carbon tax of some sort might be politically unpopular in a mid-term election year, the Obama Administration proposes to close the transportation funding gap by "reforming" the corporate tax code. At Streetsblog USA, Angie Schmitt explains the problems with this approach:
The Wall Street Journal is reporting the White House budget proposal includes $100 billion in new taxes on corporations' international operations. About $150 billion is needed to bridge the gap between gas tax revenue and projected federal transportation spending over the next four years.
But even if the administration is able to somehow convince the House and Senate to pass the tax increase, there's always a chance the budget itself won't be able to pass the House of Representatives. It's fortuitous that Obama and House Republican David Camp have similar plans for business tax reform, but mid-term elections often aren't the best time for bi-partisan compromise to rule the day.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

UTSUNOMIYA, Tochigi Pref. — Growing numbers of people are staying in farmhouses under WWOOF, a system that provides accommodation and meals in return for help harvesting crops and daily chores.
The system brings together people wishing to learn about agriculture with farm households battling labor shortages, as well as foreigners who are there just to learn about Japanese culture.
"It required a lot of strength to harvest vegetables and to weed, but it was pleasant," said 30-year-old chef Tomoko Takahashi from Nikko in Tochigi Prefecture. She stayed in the home of Noriko Kawai, 59, in Nasukarasuyama in the prefecture, to work in a watermelon field for three weeks in July.
WWOOF, or World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms, originated in Britain in 1971. WWOOF currently has secretariats in about 40 countries, including Japan. Under the system, labor is exchanged for accommodation and meals, and no money changes hands.
Takahashi, who specializes in French cuisine, wanted to learn about agriculture to open a restaurant using self-grown vegetables after hearing about a spate of food-poisoning incidents.
Kawai grows wheat, root vegetables and cabbages on her approximately 7-hectare organic farm.
"It's very helpful if they come in the busy period from summer to fall, even if for a short time. There are many repeat visitors who are familiar with the work," Kawai said.
Kiyoko Hoshino, a representative of the WWOOF Japan secretariat in Sapporo, said some people just do it for fun.
"In addition to those wishing to engage in agriculture, there are people who regard going and staying in farmhouses as a new travel and leisure activity, and the number of registrants is increasing," Hoshino said.
People register their names and addresses on WWOOF Japan's home page and pay an annual fee of ¥5,500.
The Web site provides information on about 360 farmhouses across the country, excluding Shiga and Tottori prefectures, and registrants contact the owners on when to stay.
There are around 3,000 people registered in Japan and half of them are foreigners, chiefly Europeans and North Americans. Many of the foreigners are tourists wishing to learn about Japanese culture.
Luke Stevens, 26, a former U.S. Marine, has stayed in farmhouses in Nagano and Tochigi prefectures since coming to Japan in June.
He said he is getting a deeper understanding of Japanese people through the WWOOF than he can get by simply reading magazines about favorite tourist spots.
"Many people are sick and tired of living in urban areas and WWOOF is on hand to help such people," Hoshino of WWOOF Japan said.

Vin Diesel is a special kind of star — the kind of guy who would post a video on Facebook of himself walking around on stilts. We say that because it's exactly what he did Wednesday morning (October 16), and honestly, we're still trying to figure out what's going on.
On the surface, Diesel is just stomping around the set of "Fast and Furious 7" on stilts. But he's actually preparing to do motion capture for Groot, a sentient tree and one of the members of the "Guardians of the Galaxy," Marvel's sci-fi superhero epic planned for next year. He even meets up with Djimon Hounsou (in "Fast and Furious 7" and "Guardians of the Galaxy" too) to briefly discuss his one-line role. (Groot only ever says "I am Groot.")
The actor's name became attached to the role this summer after he spoke publicly about meeting with Marvel and then posted a picture of the character to his Facebook without comment. The studio never acknowledged his involvement in any capacity. Recently, Marvel has made a habit of announcing official casting news on their site. This was the case with James Spader getting the role of Ultron in the "Avengers" sequel, as well as Bradley Cooper voicing Rocket Raccoon in "Guardians of the Galaxy."
So what's the hold-up on an official confirmation that Diesel is Groot? The most likely explanation is that Diesel's reps might be having a hard time nailing down a contract for a one-line character.
But that's not the only thing that's suspicious about this casting.
Why is Diesel practicing walking on stilts? It may all be a joke on his part because with "Guardians of the Galaxy" wrapping up production in London last week, it's unlikely that Diesel would ever perform motion capture for Groot after the fact. That's not how the process usually works.
In the video, Deisel says that he's going to take "Andy Serkis to a whole other level," but the "Hobbit" and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" actor always performs his motion capture on set. Director James Gunn's brother Sean has been the stand-in for Rocket Raccoon in London, so there was likely a Groot stand-in as well. Adding in Diesel's performance in post-production wouldn't be groundbreaking, but it is another suspicious element in an already strange scenario.
And then there's the Thanos question. The death-obsessed, purple elephant in the room. There hasn't been a word on who will play the villain teased at the end of "The Avengers," despite Gunn and Marvel Studios co-president Kevin Feige confirming that he'll be present in "Guardians of the Galaxy." Thanos could in theory be a CGI character, but Gunn's usage of practical makeup effects and his cameo in "The Avengers" has us thinking otherwise. Before he posted the image of Groot, Diesel hinted that he could play Vision. So if this all turns out to be a ruse and he is actually playing Thanos, it wouldn't be the first trick he's played on Marvel fans.
It's an admittedly crazy bit of speculation on our part, but there's certainly something strange going on with the cast of "Guardians of the Galaxy." But hey, if it gets Vin Diesel on stilts, who are we to complain?
"Guardians of the Galaxy" opens in theaters on August 1, 2014.

The letter sounds very unprofessional and full of entitlement issues. People in the thread keep pointing this out but OP seems to just want to tell about why he mispells words on purpose and why a company like Capital One is lucky that he is willing to do business with them. OP, perhaps this is not the way you intend to come across, but it is the way it is being perceived. Best thing you can do is accept the advice as friendly rather than think people are hating on you. I understand you already sent the letter and you might even get what you want, but I think for the future you might want to curb that tendency in your letters. I have been involved in risk management for many years and have found that entitlement is highly correlated to risk and imagine that many credit lenders have the same conclusion.
Also someone mentioned about CapOne going bankrupt, their stock is up 65% in the last year and have recently bought out several companies like HSBC, INGdirect, and a couple of others. They seem to be in great shape.

Orange High School's Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps accomplished many goals during the past academic year, and continued throughout the summer.
On July 4, 16 cadets participated in the Huntington Beach parade. They were honored to carry the colors and banner for the Fourteenth Chapter of the Pearl Harbor survivors. They proudly walked five miles carrying the colors and banner representing the survivors. They were truly touched by the emotional outpouring from the crowd as they marched down the parade route.
From July 18 to 26, 12 of our cadets attended the Hawaiian Leadership Academy, held at the Marine Corps Base Kaneohe. These cadets worked on their leadership skills in this once-in-a-lifetime trip.
August was kicked off with a non-commission officer school. The purpose is to train incoming freshman on the proper wear of uniform and preparation for the summer trip, including basic classroom operations, physical training, marching and a run at Del Mar Beach, Camp Pendleton.
On Aug. 10, 48 cadets spent a rigorous week at Lost Valley Boy Scout Camp in Temecula. There cadets engaged in horseback riding, mountain biking, rappelling. 22 rifle marksmanship, archery, canoeing, swimming, a leadership reaction course, slept in tents, and tackle the obstacle course known as High COPE (High Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience).
Way to go JROTC Cadets! Semper Fidelis.

American supermarket retailers are not an international lot at the moment. For the most part, Americans correctly regard this nation as a big place that still affords plenty of opportunity for growth. But, for various reasons, that situation is likely to change in upcoming years and American food retailers will have to figure out how to cast their nets abroad in a bid to achieve continued growth, just as their European counterparts have been doing for a generation or more.

Instant Replay: Warriors dismantle Celtics, win 108-88
Highlights: Warriors finish road trip with win in Boston
Stephen Curry finished with 14 points and four assists in the Warriors' 20-point win over the Celtics on Wednesday. (USATSI)
The Road Warriors lived up their name Wednesday, dismissing the challenge of playing on consecutive nights, 950 miles apart, to finish their six-game road trip with a 108-88 waxing of the Celtics at TD Garden.
Any satisfaction, however, was muted by anxiety related to Stephen Curry, who left the game in the third quarter with soreness in his right leg. He did not return and will be examined upon the team's return on Thursday.
David Lee and Klay Thompson each scored 18 points lead the offense, followed by 14 points from Curry and 11 more from Andre Iguodala. Jordan Crawford came off the bench for 15 more.
Such was the rout that no Warriors starter played more than Thompson's 28 minutes, a luxury that was welcome insofar as the regulars played heavy minutes in a 98-96 win at Indiana on Tuesday night.
In going 14 games over .500 for the first time this season, the Warriors (38-24) forced 22 Boston turnovers and limited the Celtics to 39.5 percent shooting. The Warriors outscored Boston (20-41) 58-32 in the paint.
Five Warriors had at least four assists, led by Steve Blake, who came off the bench for six.
The victory gave the Warriors a 4-2 trip and put their season road record at 20-14. After losing 9 of their first 15 road games, the Warriors have gone 14-5, becoming the first team in franchise history to win 14 of 19 games away from home.
Lee had a solid all-around game. In addition to his 18 points, he grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals.
Crawford led the bench brigade, scoring 15 points in 19 minutes against his former team, which traded him to the Warriors in January.
The opening tip. With the Celtics missing six for their first seven shots while committing four turnovers, the Warriors built a double-digit lead (12-2) a little more than five minutes into the game.
The Warriors crushed any hopes of a comeback with a 12-4 run at the end of the half for a 61-40 lead.
C Festus Ezeli (right knee surgery) is out.
The Warriors won the first meeting, 101-100, on Jan. 3 in Atlanta on an Andre Iguodala buzzer-beater, and have won four in a row over the Hawks. The Warriors are seeking to sweep the Hawks for the third time in four years.

Since 1906, volunteer groups have been committed to raising funds for the study and treatment of major diseases. These groups are known as the National Volunteer Organization (NVO). Much of the success of AMC Cancer Research Center (now known as University of Colorado Cancer Center Fund) can be credited to these selfless and tenacious volunteers who, by supporting AMC for over one hundred years, have created a heritage of courageous vision combined with spirit and hard work. From coast to coast, the NVO volunteers over the years have numbered in the thousands, working to raise funds for cancer prevention, control and research in Colorado as well as in their own communities. These dedicated volunteers have raised millions of dollars through fundraising activities and personal donations, earning them a permanent place of honor and esteem in the history of the University of Colorado Cancer Center Fund.
To honor the history of AMC and the impact of the NVO, we have installed a tribute wall in our new home at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colorado. We invite you to come visit and see the wall and the campus. You can also see photos and read about the wall here.

in the real world?
I find it interesting that sooooo many people are so offended at everything... they take an innocent comment, totally take it out of context and put it in extremes.
Believe it or not, not everyone is trying to say something about your specific situation. Sometimes it's not all about you. My point is, if you are contantly being offended, how are you going to teach your LO to live in the normal world? People say WAY worse in the "real" world. If you teach your child to be offended everytime they hear something that everyone knows was not intended to offend, they are going to be extremely lonley and it will most likely affect not only their relationships but also their overall happiness and self worth.
My parents taught me to pick my battles. If someone walks up and says a racial slur of course I would stand up for what's right, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about how people twist something like a facial hair comment into her being unforgivable. A comment like that was clearly not intended toward people will religious or medical reasons for the facial hair. But I see it all the time on here...

I have an HTTP server implementation with partial REST support. It doesn't support
If-Match and
If-None-Match yet but I am going to implement it eventually, just not in this release.
In this case, what response should the HTTP server when a client sends an HTTP PUT request with
If-Match or
If-None-Match header? Ignoring them and just updating the resource don't sound right because the client obviously wants the server not to update the resource.
What response the server should send then? I think the server at least should tell the client that those headers are not supported and thus the request has been rejected. Is there any status code dedicated to this sort of responses?

Things are moving along nicely for us at the moment. I don't really have much to report
The nursery is ever so slowly getting done. Still a lot to do, but a lot is already done. We've painted the walls, the new curtains and blinds are up, the cot and change table are put together and in place. I've made the quilt which I'll be throwing over the nursing chair. The baby mobile and wall decor that I'm making is all almost done. The cupboard sliding doors have been painted with chalkboard paint. Now we're just waiting on my chest of drawers (which is being custom made so won't be here until Feb), and my nursing chair (those who follow my posts on FB will know I'm having dramas with Pram Warehouse at the moment) and I'm waiting until we have enough spare $ to get a nice big rug to pop in the middle of the room. Then, it's all done
Bub has been behaving very well for DH the last 2 nights and when we've been lying in bed DH has been able to feel some really big kicks, which has been nice. I'm 23 weeks now and have been feeling kicks since 16 weeks, but DH is lucky if he's felt them 3 times. But the last 2 nights have been great! DH has also been able to SEE my belly jump up and down. It's been really nice
Our monthly OB appointment is on Monday, so I guess we'll get a wuick scan like usual, and I think I get my forms and such for my gestational diabetes test. Still a few weeks away before I can have that done though.
So things are going great here

Boori off ebay is fantastic we got a chest of drawers for $250 and sold it $200 two years later, really good condition and RRP is about $900....
I highly recommend it, i think its so silly paying full price as the ones I checked out were in such good condition...and the babies arent in it very long...I did get so much from friends eager to hand off stuff, a friend of my sisters, met me for 30mins gave me a bath on a stand, she was so keen to get rid of it as 4th child was already out of it...I will pass mine on to friends if I can as well...
I am off to see Blondie tomorrow, with DH and my brother, a lovely dinner and night out but just realised she isnt on stage till 10pm, good golly, how on earth am I to stay up that late maybe I shall have to have coca cola and ice again .....
Our kids room is completed, builts, paint and carpet done, will wash and organise clothes and bay things in Feb as all ready .... boss' wife just gave me a bag of girls 1-2 including a pink sleeping grobag winter weight which is fantastic as our house is cold and we use them in winter.... and I am going to Melbourne in Jan to do a boy/girl swap with my GF so I think clothes etc are totally sorted...
better go and see how dinner is going....Christmas lights happened last night so next is to get spare cupboard picked up so we can do Christmas tree....

Hi! It's been too hot to think much here lately, so not posting a lot. Not complaining, we have a pool and an aircon that I turned on for the first time yesterday for a couple of hours. It's ok if I don't have to do anything
Adl, have a great time tomorrow night! I really should get out more.. Lol
I've been getting the summer comments too, but not interested, just stoked to be pregnant at all I'm not swelling yet/odema so it's not a problem.
My SIL just gave me a baby bjorn carrier, woohoo! I had one with the other two but my sister ruined it, and they are so expensive to buy. I'm not a sling person, too uncoordinated to get them in and out... But she gave me my sling back too, lol, so I can change my mind! She's saved me with so much stuff, so lucky!
I'd look for a cot that's quiet above all else. Loud catches on the rails waking your sleeping baby? Not good!
I think bub did a huge move yesterday, now feels different, hope s/he was just going head down, not the other way! But I look bigger I think - yes to who said it feels like we grow so much every day!
I'll have to dash, DH has cooked dinner

My pram was delivered today so very happy. Got it all unpacked and took DS2 for a ride. I just love it alot. Now to get used to putting the carseat on and off.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 07:02 AM
Morning everyone!
Katey - im looking forward to seeing nursery pics! You sound pretty organised.
Adl - have fun at blondie! Sounds like you have a fun night planned.
Boori does seem to have good resale! I bought a boori basinette on sale for $169 a few weeks ago and my friend has already put dibs on buying it when im finished. I havent even taken it out of the box yet and she is keen LOL
Summer comments - they are just silly. I am no more uncomfortable than i would be normally in summer. And maternity dressing is a lot easier, just chuck on a maximdress and you are good to go.
Redmum - yay for the baby bjorn, what a nice SIL you have
Whimsical - feeling your pain re renos, our main bathroom is being replaced as i type!
Minxy - yay for pram! What did you end up getting?
Afm - 28 weeks today, omg trimester 3! Sitting here waiting for my bloods now after having my glucose drink. Making a start on baby room this weekend, some wall repair, replacing door frame and some skirting and getting resdy for paint.malso need to do some touch up paint on the cot and change table where they have a few dings from the last 4 years of use. Nothing major, but i just want it all nice for new baby. I feel like because its my third i dont need to do much so i want tomdo something!
Posted 06 December 2012 - 07:10 AM
I got a britax b smart 4 with a shr 2 car capsule (think they are called something different back home though)
will have to take a photo and upload later
I have the layering to do here instead, as it is going in to winter. My car was covered in ice this morning took a while to defrost it before I could drive.
Snow up on the mountain peaks as well.
Everything going well from the midwife appointment got to hear baby's heartbeat too
Posted 06 December 2012 - 07:49 AM
Awww minxy! I love winter in the uk, my bf just posted a pic of snow in stevenage as the kids walked to school. They were wishing they were here while my kids wish they had snow, hahaha.
Am I really behind? I haven't don't anything for the nursery at all. It's still a room piled high with bits and pieces, an ironing board... We aren't painting or anything, so I guess that makes a difference. Once it's done I think I'll get really impatient too, lol! I feel like I'm still a bit in denial that this belly will turn into a baby.
Terrible nights sleep again, all the smoke here is waking me up, plus DH wants the door open :/ I'm so tired and sore when I wake up! And a wee bit cranky, obviously....
Off to help on the Christmas stall at school today though, yay!
Posted 06 December 2012 - 08:45 AM
Has anyone else noticed their gums are sore? I don't know if mine is tooth or gum related. I had my teeth checked a few months ago but every now and then I get some tenderness near where my wisdoms were removed on one side. Really hoping to avoid the dentist.
Ordered cot and change table yesterday (boori classic in white) should come in January. Decided to go with a smaller retailer. I got some crappy service from a lady at baby bunting on the phone and great service from the people we went with. Still waiting on pram to come in from baby bunting...hoping it will be here soon.
Just realised my ticker is on double digits, woo hoo!
Happy Thursday everyone, who else is counting the days until holidays?!
Loz: yay for third trimester, where did u get ur boori bassinet from? Awesome price!

Counting down until holidays? Definitely!! Actually I've noted the weeks left at work on my calendar next to my desk at work - when we come back from Christmas break I will only have 7 weeks left, which makes everything seem a lot closer.
BBV - I have had sore gums around some teeth that I've had work on, but not constantly. Maybe if it gets to the point you need panadol then check with the dentist? I've heard that your gums get more sensitive during pregnancy so hopefully it will settle down afterwards.
redmum - I feel a bit behind reading all the nursery posts too I finally got around to writing a checklist of everything we need (as far as we can figure out), and last night checked through the baby clothes to see what we have in each size. But all the baby furniture/pram is in boxes, everything else in the wardrobe in the spare room. We can't set up until mid January anyway, as we have guests staying with us over the break, but I do feel like I should be doing more to prepare!
lozoodle - I just booked in for my test, they booked me in for the 2 hour fasting one by mistake, lucky I called back to double check because it didn't sound like much fun :/ I'm having it done next week on the morning of my work christmas lunch, so hopefully I'm not feeling too light headed from so many blood tests.
afm - Midwife visit tomorrow, then the optometrist (I figure it's better to go now, rather than when the baby is little), and that's about it. DH gets to share baby kicks but like others, I think the bub has moved a bit as I feel the movements in different places now, and sometimes they are harder to see/feel from the outside. Last night a car beeped its horn while I was waiting to cross the road, and the baby did a big kick!!
It's a little strange to think that the bumps and kicks inside me are actually from a tiny little person, who is developing a brain and personality and who will one day be talking to me. I find myself worrying about the silliest things, like if I'm making him stand on his head if I lay on my side. Speaking of which, DH is worried that he will come out with an oddly shaped head and has told me to try not to squish him on the way out!!! I'm sure he was joking. Mostly....
Posted 06 December 2012 - 10:34 AM
Glad to hear everyone seems like they are in good spirits!
My "nursery" is just a room at the moment with stuff in it. I have at least moved the non baby stuff out (except for what's in the top of the wardrobe...). I bought our cot and change table ages ago second hand, but I got them repainted and am still waiting to get them back I did say to the friend no rush, but I do want to get them before Christmas so I can properly scope out the size of the room. I had a lot of fun wasting time online looking at nurseries for inspiration. A lot of the online photos look like people have nurseries the size of my loungeroom!!
I have felt like my bub is head down for awhile now (since I stopped receiving kicks to my bladder lol) and at my last midwife appt she confirmed that was the case. Sometimes it already feels like her head is down in my pelvis so I can't imagine what it's going to feel like when its properly engaged. Mum says "yes it feels like a football inbetween your legs!!"
I'm also struggling a bit with comprehending we will get a baby out of this. All a bit surreal. Last night I was reading a book that had lifesize illustrations on a progression timeline of babies. When I got to the images for 24 and 28wks I was really in awe I mean I've read the descriptions before of current length etc but it's really different to see a baby image at the size it is INSIDE YOU. I hope that doesn't sound silly and you understand what I mean.
I also noted the tiny looking cervix hahaha

I don't think so
The only reason we're pretty organised with the nursery, is because we start planning the nursery and furniture back when we fell pregnant in October last year. So it feels like we started planning well over a year ago!
Has anyone else noticed their gums are sore?
Mine aren't sore, but just like all the books told me, they're bleeding a lot more easily! Especially when I brush.
Baby Position - At my last scan, he was head down and kind of leaning to the side a bit, and I don't think he's moved all that much since then. I get 2 kinds of movements:
-Headbutts... which are low and I can feel them towards the back (he headbutts my bowel alot).
-Leg kicks... they are much higher (sometimes now above my belly button) and towards the front (I can see and feel these with my hand).

HI ladies
There is anice little buzz going on in here atm . Been trying to read, but I have been super busy as I'm sure is the same for most of us at this time of year.
Cloria - lol re tiny lil cervix! Time to start those visualisation techniques re the cervix opening (and effortlessly pls!) .
Nursery/organisation - yup the baby's room is an unmade cot still set up from DS filled with piles of nappies and baby clothes; change table that we still occasionally use for DS (really should get onto TTing re #2s I guess...) and the cupboard is full of DS' craft and painting paraphernalia and random bits and pieces. On the wknd, we finally got around to buying some little drawers to go in DS' bedroom cupboards and moved all his clothes in there. At least the bub clothes in the cot are washed, folded and piled in size order.
baby position/movements - getting some real belly rippling movements from this little one. I can definitely feel on those days when she's down low - ouch. Feels like my vagina is going to drop right on out onto the floor, and I sometimes just wish it would so the ache would go away! Sort of relieved to be feeling so much movement tho - she was very quiet there for a few weeks.
Can't remember what else we were talking about!
AFM - been dealing with silly LLs for the past few weeks. We signed our lease, they changed their minds and details of the lease a couple of times, we were looking for a new place, they changed their minds again so now we're staying and the RE agent (bless her) is helping us argue for an update that needs to be done but LLs don't want to do. We're waiting on a call back from RE to find out if we're back on the 12mth general lease. Urghh! Really disappointed with all the crap, but it appears we're stable for the next 12mths (fingers crossed).
Start aqua physio classes tonight. Looking forward to getting in the pool. I've been so very lazy. SPD has been quite painful at times; my left hip has started to seize up which feels like nerves pinching and then I'm unable to move until it stops. Haven't been able to balance on one leg for about a month which makes putting pants on precarious. Thank god for tubigrip really, as it makes the pain so manageable.
Got two deferred exams to do next week so been studying for them this week. Can't wait until they're done cos then DH is on holidays. Soo looking forward to it!
I seem to have gotten some energy back finally! Hope it lasts for awhile as it's been nice actually getting things done.
And that's it for my monologue .
So, has the what's everyone doing for Xmas convo happened yet?
chat soon,
Posted 06 December 2012 - 12:05 PM
I love thinking about where my babies are in my tummy. I also find it important because it's good for me to know what kick/punch is coming from what twin, so that if one is slackening off on movement I can monitor it. My doula sent me a link to a website called spinningbabies.com and it explains what they call belly mapping, which is a bit detailed for me at this stage, but the basic principle is that you track what kind of movements are coming from what area of your belly and that way you can work out where the baby is sitting and what position it's in. I get headbutts in the bowel and bellybutton kicks from twin 1, and I get huge belly shaking kicks right at the top from twin 2 and the occasional punch to the right of my bellybutton. I can also see/feel a pretty obvious head of twin 2 to the right of my bellybutton!
Posted 06 December 2012 - 12:34 PM
Nursery - I think we are lagging the most behind as we have nothing except 1 swaddle wrap blanket
My DS2 and DD2 have their birthdays next week (we had 1 party last weekend and another this weekend) so I really wanted to get through birthdays and xmas and then focus on getting baby stuff sorted out! January is also the first time that I will be able to get my DH home on a weekend and the other kids taken care of so that we can do some serious large item shopping together.
Movement - I feel a fair bit. The smaller kids have both been able to kicks so always have their heads or hands pressed up against me to try and get more
Xmas - we go to my parents on Xmas Eve for an early dinner then come home and watch Carols whilst peeling vegetables and cooking turkey. Xmas lunch we do here at home so that the kids don't have to leave their new stuff and I get the exact things I want in the quantity I want when I make it myself! We have pretty much always been this way, even when we had DS2 by emergency c/s on 19th Dec one year - still got home, shopped and cooked in time to have lunch at my house We also have remaining family/people over on Boxing Day for left overs.
Gums - I had all my wisdom teeth out earlier in the year and can feel in one area that the gums seem more inflammed than before. Other than that no real change
Position - I would have no idea, and really don't give it too much thought until around 36 weeks when we start to talk about options
AFM - I am finding that work and getting the kids around and appointments is tiring me out. I was hoping to stay at work until mid March but am starting to think that might be a bit ambitious. Will see how things are after 2 weeks off over Xmas and see if it improves with school holidays and less kid commitments I am back to the hospital for the consultant appointment tomorrow to see if I can freak them out a bit more with my lung condition.....
I hope everyone else is travelling well
Posted 07 December 2012 - 10:29 AM
Hi everyone,
We are back home again got back Wednesday afternoon. I am emotionally and physically exhausted
I had to pack up all the gear and carry it along with walking ds out of the hospital by myself and get a train back to home as there was no transport to home care according to the hospital yet warragul hospital had informed dh there was! I walked out of there crying and a couple that have their child in there bumped into me at the lift gave me a hand to get a taxi to the train station. Thank goodness one taxi driver driver was willing to do a short trip. Unfortunately we missed the train and had to wait an hour in the cold for another one. Because dh had not brought back up any clothes for ds he was in shorts and a tshirt and I had to give him my jacket to try keep him warm, honestly it was a complete disaster, it seems if you are from the countryside you are on your own if you get transferred to a city hospital!!!!
Now I have picked something else up while at hospital and feel like crap it's headed onto my chest which is making things tough and there aren't any doc appointments this side of Christmas. When I got back I had to do shopping as dh really had no clue and I went out yesterday trying to organise some last bits and pieces for Christmas and had to give up, I just couldn't function. I did manage to get the chocolates for the teachers presents and have bought the christmas turkey, but if I don't find the strength in the next few days I am going to be in big trouble with stocking fillers. Thank goodness for flybuy points because Due to dh having time off and me having to pay for accomodation and food while at the hospital, we are having to do some serious juggling to pay the bills and cover basic costs! Our holiday is now in jepordy,time to get on eBay and sell what we have sitting in the garage hopefully somebody wants stuff this side of christmas
The buying of baby gear has really taken a back seat, I was so sure I was going to be winding down now instead of running around trying to finish off stuff, heck I still have to cook the Christmas pudding and bake the Christmas cookies not to mention organise the rest of dd#2s outfit for graduation, then there is seeing Santa the kids have changed their minds dozens of times on their Santa present and I really need to get them locked in and committed to something that's not too expensive
Plus parent teacher interviews forms thrown at me when I walked through the door and dd#1 has multiple excursions next week for final week of school that I didn't know about and more money to find that we just don't have . One of the excursions has been a flat out no and the other one I am going to ask my mum if she can give her a little money as they are going to a major shopping centre to do their own Christmas shopping, which means I have to swallow my pride and ask!
Sorry for the complaining, we have been in worse situations before, I just need to find some inner strength and press on, I just wish I didn't feel so damn sick so I could think more straight and try put the Christmas cheer into the house, the tree isn't even finished
So it looks like I will be doing a mad dash in the new year to get ready for this baby, I really have been neglecting her these last few weeks it's just not bloody fair
Oh crap I need to go eat I forgot morning tea
Take care
Posted 07 December 2012 - 11:00 AM
Suzanne that sounds absolutely AWFUL you poor thing. Some situations just seems to never really right themselves. It sounds like there is such a huge load on you at the moment and one woman can only do so much!! Outsource what you can - can someone else make the Christmas pudding, get DD2 organised for graduation and get a couple of stocking fillers? Christmas does bring out a bit of generosity in people. Also sounds like a good sleep and a bit of recovery would help enormously.
Hope things start looking up in your world, thinking of you
Posted 07 December 2012 - 12:08 PM
Suzanne - huge hugs honey, what a terrible time you have been through! You made it home, what a lot of strength that took too. Ditto on the rest and some sleep if you can, there's a bit of time left till Christmas. The kids will cope if it's a bit thin this year, they will remember being together more. I say this from experience I come from a big family and we not got much compared to what some do, but I loved every minute and we never felt hard done by. As teenagers we did a $5 limit Christmas, and my brother got us all water super soakers, it was the best ever. My mum gives us a quizz often, questions on cards that we take turns in asking, with a sweet for prizes. I know none of that probably helps. Lean on someone to get through, whoever you can, I'm sure your mum won't mind. The school can also sometimes help or defer payments, but I know it's hard to ask. Just trying to think of ideas. Wish I could just give you a hug though
Posted 07 December 2012 - 02:34 PM
Suzanne - I am sorry to hear that you have had such a terrible time. I hope that you get some obviously much needed help and remember to look after yourself too.
Posted 07 December 2012 - 10:25 PM
Sorry to hear about all that Suzanne! Hopefully it all settles down for now and you can enjoy the remainder of your pregnancy!
Was putting on some fake tan today looking in the mirror and I was like OMG!! Has anyone else's veins just appeared out of no wear!? Big blue ones on my boobies and all on my tummy!! Aaaa!!! Not so sure about braving the beach anymore!!
