WHEELING - Though an overcast sky loomed above and spectators stood with umbrellas ready, there was nothing but sunshine in the eyes of the Miracle Leaguers who watched Monday as their field of dreams took a giant leap toward completion.
The rain held off long enough for a crowd of about 150 to take in the groundbreaking ceremony for the future Miracle Field of the Ohio Valley at the J.B. Chambers Youth Sports Complex off Interstate 470 in Elm Grove, where children with special needs soon will be able to play baseball on a synthetic, rubberized field designed just for them.
Construction on the new field could begin as early as next week, according to Lori Untch, president and chief executive officer of the Easter Seals Rehabilitation Center in Wheeling, which has led the effort to raise funds for the facility.

Although that effort is not yet complete - about $100,000 more must be raised to provide for handicapped-accessible restrooms, a concession stand and pavilion at the site - Untch said organizers are "taking a leap of faith" in getting things under way now.
"It's our goal to be playing ball here by next June," said Untch, noting funds in hand are sufficient to complete the field itself.
Warwood resident Loretta Garbark began the ceremony by singing the national anthem, and a performance by the Wheeling Park High School steel drum band contributed to the celebratory atmosphere.

Chambers Memorial Foundation.
Balloons are released as 150 people watch.
Prior to plunging shovels into the ground and releasing hundreds of blue, purple and yellow balloons into the air, attendees heard from several of those instrumental in moving the project forward.
Easter Seals Chairwoman Debbie Joseph thanked the many people and entities responsible for Monday's celebration, including the J.B. Chambers Foundation and city of Wheeling; Pirates Charities, which is the philanthropic arm of the Pittsburgh Pirates; the Ogden Newspapers; as well as many anonymous donors. She pointed out the words of the late New York Yankee star Lou Gehrig, who described baseball as "our national pastime and a game for all."
"With the completion of this field, the J.B. Chambers Sports Complex will bring children of all ability levels together, without discrimination because of physical limitation," Joseph said.

At the Miracle League's future home, located at the east end of the complex, Lorraine McCardle always has seen not a weed-grown, empty plot of land but instead her vision for a place that will improve the lives of hundreds of children throughout the Ohio Valley.
The Wheeling resident founded the local Miracle League initiative after her son Austin, now 10, expressed a desire to play sports. Austin, who has consistently been the face of the effort to build the Wheeling field, is afflicted with Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease, a central nervous system ailment.
"You don't know what this is like, what this feels like to get this field started for all these kids," said McCardle. "It's been four years, four long years, but ... we've learned so much through this process."
McCardle, who fought back tears as she addressed the crowd, said after the ceremony she can't imagine how satisfying it will feel when the Miracle League of the Ohio Valley plays its first true home game.
"I don't know if I'll even be able to speak because I know for sure I will really be (crying) my eyes out," she said.
Wheeling City Manager Robert Herron recalled early conversations with McCardle as they sat down to form a strategy and settled on the I-470 complex as the perfect site for the Miracle Field. He added city officials were pleased to receive a $100,000 federal Land and Water Conservation Grant for the effort, as National Park Service officials expressed their admiration for Wheeling's commitment to caring for those with special needs.
"I look for great things from our Miracle League team. ... We'll see you at the ribbon-cutting," said Herron.
Robert Nutting, president and chief executive officer of Ogden Newspapers Inc. and chairman of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Pirates Charities, lauded the work of all involved in the project, particularly that of McCardle.
"I'm not sure I've seen anyone more dedicated, more focused, from the heart, and it just has made such a difference to the lives of the kids," he said of McCardle.
Pirates Charities has contributed more than $500,000 to five Miracle Field projects in various stages of completion, including the one in Wheeling and the region's first completed field in Cranberry, Pa. Nutting said the project's true impact will be felt when the Miracle Leaguers take the field here for the first time.
"Every kid who's playing is smiling, and every adult who's watching is teary-eyed," Nutting said. "These are kids who have been told their whole lives, 'You can't play.'"
Pittsburgh Pirates President Frank Coonelly also attended Monday's festivities. Members of the Wheeling Park High School baseball team and Hi-Y service organization, Bridgeport High School cheerleaders and representatives from the Knights of Columbus and West Liberty University also were on hand.
WKKX's Steve Novotney served as master of ceremonies for the event.

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Neal's Yard Cooperative
by Jemima
Review: Down a narrow lane to a courtyard which Neals's Yard SB have buildings on two sides of and at least a good part - unless all - of the courtyard. Repreive from thronging Covent Garden for a sit down, although this place too is mad busy, especially on the weekend. Brightly coloured decor and Brazilian music add to manic atmosphere. Buddhas perhaps work toward counterweighting this or maybe it is part of Carnival. Groups and pairs many and varied, including those with children, present. Two or three breakfast items avail bef twelve, some entrees, lots of, I believe, Brazilian bread, about two or three mains and at least half a page of desserts. Fresh juices with a combination of about three fruits, hot beverages. There are also some snacks available, some w meat. I had risotto. Perhaps it was really paella. It was dry with long grain rice. For dessert I had figs and walnuts in syrup with cream. The figs are the dried type. It is very sweet as the waiter advised. Service when I went at the weekend was friendly, over pressured. Staff had different designated tasks which were a challenge for them to fulfill promptly. You are paying a premium for the location.

Greenwood won't cut funding for senior services, bus routes, rides for dialysis patients and well-attended Christmas concerts.
The Greenwood City Council approved continuing to give about $95,000 a year to nonprofit and public transportation agencies, at least for the next year. More than 70 people attended a standing-room-only meeting, and most were interested in the council's discussion of whether to renew funding to the same groups, fund new ones or withdraw any spending of tax dollars on those services.
The council decided to maintain the same level of funding it has provided for years, and decades in some cases.
With the approval, Greenwood wants more accountability over how that money is spent in the future. The council asked for more documentation of what services those groups were providing to the community, how much they were charging Greenwood taxpayers and what their finances were.
All the groups should make annual reports to the council in the future in order to continue to receive funding, council member Thom Hord said.
Council member Ezra Hill said he generally didn't think it was appropriate to spend tax dollars on charity. Hill later said he didn't object to any of the groups but didn't think it was fair for the council to decide which charitable organizations deserve taxpayer funding.
The council had invited more charitable groups to apply for those tax dollars after Hord questioned why a limited pool of groups were getting the funds year after year, without asking other organizations if they could provide the same or better services for the same funding.
No other groups showed up to make their case for tax dollars at the meeting Wednesday, after months of invitations.
IndyGo, Access Johnson County, Johnson County Senior Services, The Social of Greenwood and the Greenwood Community Band representatives all pleaded with the council to continue to maintain the same level of funding that it has since the 1980s in some cases.
The all-volunteer Greenwood Community Band, for instance, relies on the city for $4,000 of the $6,500 it spends per year to stage 10 concerts in Greenwood, including at the amphitheater over the summer and in the high school before Christmas, board president Veronica Eddy said.
Johnson County Commissioner-elect Ron West, a member of the Access Johnson County board, and Greenwood dialysis patient Barbara Robinette argued that the city should continue to help pay for such social services.
Robinette said she lived in Greenwood for her entire life and had come to depend on Johnson County Senior Services to get her to life-saving dialysis treatments for the past several months, after she was diagnosed with kidney failure.
Senior services board member Ted Murphy said that the agency has made about 800 trips this year to a dialysis center on Greenwood's east side. Johnson County Senior Services provides residents with other services that include loaning seniors costly medical equipment they couldn't otherwise afford and telling out-of-state children how their elderly parents can find the services they need in Johnson County, Murphy said.
"I believe that we're not just responsible for ourselves but also responsible for our neighbors. We're supposed to take care of people whether they live in Franklin, Greenwood or elsewhere in the community," Murphy said.
West said local government officials were not just responsible for good stewardship of tax dollars but also of people. Local governments should take care of everyone, including people in need who are working a minimum-wage job, he said.
The council approved keeping spending the same with a vote of 8-0. Hill abstained from the vote.

New York – Proenza Schouler introduced its spring/summer 2013 collection last week in New York. The range features a striking juxtaposition of textures and digital prints, suggesting a Tumblr-style cascade of imagery.
The collection takes the imagery of common digital prints into the realm of abstraction. Dresses resemble a photo collage, but are layered over with neon studs that blend into a field of grommets. Prints of forest and crowd scenes are punctuated by tessellated black triangles, while strips of python show up in unlikely places.
Sometimes the inspiration from Tumblr is clear, as in the patchwork jackets that seem designed for vertical scrolling. Other pieces are suffused with a sense of eccentric curation and an obsession with the creative possibilities of pastiche.
In this collection Proenza Schouler appeals to the sensibilities of The Curator Generation. For more ways to reach out visually to hyper-connected consumers, read our Digital Surrealism Toolkit.

As Indian Creek Middle School students returned to school Monday, they came decked out in pink.
Students wore pink T-shirts and bracelets emblazoned with "ChaseStrong." All of the school's teachers wore the shirts during a service day Friday.
Signs around the school and at the entrance of the Indian Creek pool declare, "We love you Chase." Dozens of signatures cover each one.
The Indian Creek community and swimmers from all over the country are showing their support for 13-year-old Chase Smith and his family.
In July, Chase was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma, a cancerous tumor of the bones and soft tissue.
Hundreds of Facebook posts have been made with the #ChaseStrong theme, with everyone from local swim clubs to Olympic champions Michael Phelps and Conor Dwyer sending along their encouraging words.
The outpouring of support has helped him cope with the months of treatment ahead, Chase said.
"I was really surprised because I didn't expect that all of them would know about it," he said. "I've always looked up to a lot of the people who were supporting me, so it was exciting."
What started as a gesture by the Indian Creek Aquatic Club to support a teammate has grown exponentially.
Local teams have posed with posters and signboards. They made pink — Chase's favorite color — an unofficial team color on the swim deck and around the pools.
"It's been great just how giving and generous the whole community has been. The time, money, everything has really been amazing," said Rhett Wisener, assistant swimming coach at Indian Creek. "At times like this, you really see how down-to-earth everyone is and how caring they are for everyone."
Wisener was one of the first people to learn about Chase's diagnosis. He and Katie Reese, a former Indian Creek swimmer, talked together about creating a sign of solidarity for swimmers in the area.
They chose #ChaseStrong and encouraged local teams to voice their support.
At the same time, they reached out to swimmers across the country.
Record-breaking swimmers Eric Shanteau, Cullen Jones and Mary DeScenza Mohler have posted pictures of themselves on his page and offered encouraging words.
Phelps, with Dwyer and fellow swimmer Chase Kalisz, held a poster board reading, "Chase, Wishing you a speedy recovery! Hope you're up and splashing soon!"
He has been visited by the Indiana University swim team, who hung around his family's Trafalgar home to play video games and a lively game of Apples to Apples.
"Swimming, just like any sport, there's fierce competition. But the best thing about the swimming community is that we've really set all of that aside," his father Brad Smith said. "It's more than just someone holding a sign and taking a picture. We've gotten some really heartfelt stories and reaching out. It's been very humbling and moving."
Chase has been swimming for almost his entire life. He is a five-time state champion swimmer and competes year-round.
His father, Brad Smith, is the head swimming coach at Indian Creek High School. His mother, Kelli Smith, is a special services teacher at Indian Creek Elementary School and supporter of the swim teams.
"He has had some success, and through that, we've been blessed to hear stories about Chase's character on the pool deck," Brad Smith said. "So many people have told us what a humble competitor he was, and people were touched by what was happening to him."
An increasing pain in his leg was the first indicator that something was wrong with Chase.
During a swim meet in South Carolina in late June, he complained that his right leg really hurt. He had been dealing with some leg pain for the past few months, but it suddenly became intense, Kelli Smith said.
Trainers thought that Chase may have torn his quadricep muscle, since the leg was really swollen. After the meet, the family scheduled an appointment with an orthopedic specialist.
Scans showed that the problem wasn't a strain or a tear. Instead, it was the telltale signs of a growth.
"The bone was nice and smooth, then it got rigid at a certain point. The doctor said that was from a tumor," Kelli Smith said. "He didn't know if it was shadowing or the tumor compromising the bone, but it wasn't good."
An oncology orthopedic surgeon at Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health in Indianapolis took on Chase's care. After a biopsy, it was determined he had Ewing sarcoma.
The rare form of cancer most often strikes children. In children younger than 15, the survival rate is now 75 percent, according to the National Cancer Institute.
"They don't know how it happens. They don't know how to prevent it, and they don't know why. It's not environmental; it just happens," Brad Smith said.
Because Ewing sarcoma is an aggressive form of cancer, doctors have formulated a quick and strong treatment plan for Chase. He goes to Riley every two weeks for chemotherapy. His doses rotate between two-day and five-day stays in the hospital and will last until October.
At that point, further scans and tests will determine what is left of the tumor. Once doctors see the progress, they'll surgically remove a portion of bone and the muscle around it. Chase will have a cadaver bone implanted in his leg.
After physical therapy to rehabilitate the weakened leg, he'll undergo another round of chemotherapy, which hopefully will kill off any remaining cancer cells, Kelli Smith said.
For now, the family is focused on individual chemotherapy sessions, making it through each day without any setbacks.
A GoFundMe site has been set up to help with costs for gas and other incidentals that come up with Chase's treatment. More than $8,600 has come in so far.
From the initial diagnosis, the Trafalgar community has stepped forward for the Smiths. The day that Chase was scheduled to get a biopsy on his leg, more than 200 people met the family outside their door to pray with them.
They lined the road to cheer and wish them luck.
People have come over to mow their lawn and clean the house while they've been at the hospital. Because chemotherapy will weaken Chase's immune system, friends have made sure their air ducts are cleaned and ready for his return.
"We're so blessed to be in the community we're in now. They have embraced us with this," Kelli Smith said. "With both of us being teachers, people keep saying that we've touched so many lives, now it's time for them to help us."
When Indian Creek schools went back to school Monday, students and staff wore the #ChaseStrong shirts. Chase, an eighth-grader, will be schooled at home by an Indian Creek teacher this semester. He wasn't at school for the first day.
But knowing that so many people are pulling for him will give him strength, Chase said.
"At a time that is very hard, to have that kind of support has been really uplifting and encouraging, especially to see him react to it," Brad Smith said. "There are days when it would be easy to go the route of 'Why me?' It brings encouragement."

For 10 years, these three (now four) have been at it, back and forth, back and forth, tit for tat. Today? No difference. As you know, today we found out about Jen's wedding. Full Story

Jennifer Lawrence was back in New York yesterday after spending the weekend in LA. Here she is out for dinner last night. Without the hot bodyguard you've been used to seeing. This new bodyguard though… Also hot. Maybe even hotter? Is that why she's in such a good mood? Or was it the wine? As you can see, Jennifer, who hasn't been all that friendly for the paps recently, decided to give them some really great shots – chopsticks in her mouth, mock model strutting out of the car, big fake smile… It's another way of saying f-ck you, obviously, but are you curious at all about the timing? Yesterday everyone was looking at those photos Full Story

Comments: It is a pretty nice racquet and at the price it is definitely worth checking out. Easy to hit good
serves. Just demo it and see if you are fine with the weight. It's not heavy, but some people might find it a bit much. Also,
not a powerful racquet.
From: Zebas, 4/16
Comments: I have posted several reviews on the Tennis Warehouse site,
mostly for "players" frames, 90-95 sq in head size, 11.5 oz or more
strung weight, swing weights in the 330-340 range.젨I will honestly state that
I haven't been a fan of Prince racquets since the days of Pat Rafter and
the TT Warrior.젨That being said, the Tour 95, at its current price point
is an incredible value for the NTRP 4.0 or above, all-court player.젨Its
box frame construction reminds me of the Federer Pro Staff 90."젨Very
stable frame, not quite as crisp feeling as my frame of choice, the 2013
Wilson 6.1.젨Slightly less power than the 6.1, but more than the 90 sq in
Pro Staff I use for practice sessions.젨Despite the 18x20 string pattern,
the frame produces adequate spin using thinner 17 gauge string at or
below the lower tension range (to soften up the bed and increase ball
pocketing).젨If you prefer 16 gauge strings, choose any of the smooth,
slick, spin strings that are now available and this frame will produce enough spin for you.젨If you are a flat ball hitter, this
frame will blast laser like winners into the court corners if you can create your own pace (i.e., this is a control frame so the
power you generate
will be your own, the frame won't help much).쟆ust an all around nice,
comfortable, stable, control-oriented, jack-of-all trades type, pro
players frame, excellent for singles or doubles. And now available at a
very reduced price for the quality of the racquet.쟕his frame won't
convert me from my 6.1's as match frames, but I would certainly use them
as backups.젨For fans of the "old school" box frame feel, this frame
should be at the top of the list (and sadly these frames are slowly
disappearing from the market as the manufacturers move toward a base size
of 97 or 98 square inch heads and lighter swing weight), so "get 'em while you
From: Anonymous, 3/16
Comments: Incredible racquet, a lot of control, enough mass to return big services, impressive
maneuverability, fast and easy to swing. It is good for the arm too. I always had elbow problems, but with this racquet the
pain is gone. Maybe the power is a bit low, I am going to try stringing it at 50 pounds. I use Kirschbaum Max Power Rough
with 53 pounds, and the spin is really good. I serve with lot of kick and high bounces. The control on every shot is amazing.
I am 40 years old, have a one-handed backhand, and I always used Wilson racquets, but Wilson forgot how to make heavy
and flexible racquets.
From: Adrian, 2/16
Comments: It's a very nice stick. I bought two of these raquets for Christmas. I improved my serve and volley
right away. I'm a two-handed backhand player and I felt so good hitting these shots. You will definitely get tons of control.
Power and spin are there as well, but you have to generate it. I used to play with the Head Extreme Pro and always had
elbow pain after a game in which I had to serve a lot. I thought It was normal, because the pain disappeared the next day If
I had a day-off in tennis. With this Tour 95 I can play everyday and I have no pain in my elbow or shoulder, even If I play 5
times a week. It means It's a pretty flexible frame, and I love it. I got used to it very fast. I string my two racquets with
synthetic strings at 55 lbs.
From: Bon, 2/16
Comments: Bought 2 of these racquets after hearing good feedback. Came from playing with the Head
Youtek IG Prestige MP. I was looking for something that would have a similar feel, but was newer so I could purchase
multiple racquets (not as easy to find Prestige MPs to buy). I'm surprised at how few reviews, information, etc. is on this
racquet. It has a great feel and it is one of those racquets that does exactly what you want it to. If you mess up, it's
because of you not the racquet, if you hit an amazing winner or serve an ace it's the same deal. Good technique goes a
long way this racquet. For beginners it isn't one of those racquets that is going to give you the "free power." Overall, great
feel, and it does exactly what I want it to, and it actually feels surprisingly maneuverable/whippier than you would think.
From: PatrickP, 10/15
Comments: Very nice control and very comfortable. A heavy weight for ball mass! I love the straight beam for
ball feel!
From: Anderson, 3/15
Comments: I'm 45, a USPTA Pro, 4.5-5.0, hard hitter, big serve, all-around, one hander, top 150 in my age. I
was a
Prince guy in my junior tennis years, then as a USPTA Pro went to Head with many others. Going back to Prince with the
got me looking to check out what Prince has these days. I'm currently playing again with my Volkl PB Mid 10 and you can
feel the
similarities with this -- very soft, plush feel, and maneuverable. I would have thought this Prince Tour 95 would be a bit
harder to
move around but that's not the case. I would've thought this was a stiffer racquet than my VPB10, but again, it's not.
Read the TW
Review and it sings it's praises for good reason. TW rates the power score low, but I did not find that to be the case -- at
least not
like the rating. You get back what you put into this one. The control is very very good. Spin, no problem, it's there, but
not as much as the new Spin focused racquets. Still, hit heavy spin? You're fine. What I keep coming back to on this is
the good
mass of the racket. I tested this against the New Head Radical, Yonex Tour G310, and Yonex Ai98 and those just didn't
have the
mass that I'm looking for. The G310 was my next fav or the group. One downside is I wish it was a bit bigger head size.
Conclusion -- a solid choice. It's a switchable racquet for me as I bet it is for others.
From: Jester, 12/14
Comments: Very nice playing racquet. I have continued to try thicker and stiffer frames thinking I need to "get
the times" but I continually struggle to harness the power in those frames. I can really play hard with this racquet and I feel
like it's
very fair. I get out of it exactly what I put in the shot which makes for excellent control on the court. Very comfortable as
well even
with the all poly. I have been hitting Prince XC Yellow and Head Hawk. Trying to decide on the best set up as Hawk is a
little more
powerful and has better feel while XC really dials in the spin and control.
From: Mesa, 10/14
Comments: I can also say that it is very similar to the Prince Rebel 95. Buttery soft feeling. A bit more plow
and stability. This frame offers enough control and has enough weight to play strong, without fear. I recommend to string it
Beast XP at 54/52 lbs (for me it is compromise between control and power + feeling). Great with Tour Bite (soft also) and
Volkl V-
Torque. For me it suit when tension is about 50 lbs.
From: Przemys, 4/14
Comments: Very close to the Rebel 95. Maybe a bit more solid but overall a great racquet. If you are looking
for a
player's frame and you value comfort, stop looking...you found it. I have been stringing mine with Yonex Poly Tour Pro at 52
it feels awesome. I have also tried Prince Premier Control in the crosses with Prince XC 16L in the mains and like that as
well. A
less spin but more pop.
From: Mason, 4/14
Comments: Good frame. Practically a mirror of the Prince Rebel 95. The stiffness feel slightly different but this
not a
huge difference. You get a nice Headlight frame with good flex and great cosmetics. This offers enough weight for solid
block back on big serves and shots while having good maneuverability at the net. This racquet really performs if you have
strokes. Great control frame. Overall, a cosmetic update to a solid performer. The matted paint finish seems more durable
previous model while the other specs are practically identical to the Prince Exo3 Rebel 95.
From: Tommy, 3/14

Ribbon Christmas Card Holder
I don't know about you all, but my anal-retentive organized self has already mailed out the majority of her Christmas and holiday cards and now I'm just waiting for them to pour in. Until Thanksgiving, I had nothing to put them in (my grandfather made me a card holding sleigh), so I was seriously considering making one of these Ribbon Card Holders. They look adorable and I can think of a dozen places that I could hang it from off the top of my head.
So if you're struggling to find a place to put all those cards, this might be the perfect idea!

Pros / cons of metal versus plastic?

Everyone has an ex-partner encounter so terrifying it is worthy of telling around a campfire. They veer wildly from unexpected violent snogging, to meeting the person who they have replaced you with, to clandestine exchanges of passive-aggressive letters, silently, in pubs. Mostly, seeing your ex leaves you feeling like you want to punch yourself in the face out of embarrassment. It doesn't have to be this way.
Unexpected meetings are undoubtedly the worst, and require decisive action. If caught short: pretend you don't know who they are. For this to be fully effective, you must be committed to the idea that you have never seen this person before. This technique, correctly employed, can lead to incredible results. Desperate for your recognition, they will recall out loud details of your time together in a bid to jig your memory. This makes them look a bit strange, even though the whole thing started with you wandering round the supermarket like a deranged person in slippers, clutching a bargain-bin DVD and an extra large block of cheese. Perfecting this technique also gives you the freedom to wear slippers at your leisure, an option you'll need if you've just had a break-up.
For planned meetings, most people try and go for the "I'm fine, I'm great" technique. It's difficult to pull off. This is largely because there's a good chance that you're not fine – and have spent every minute you're not at work in bed, on a diet of Haribo and finding hidden meaning about the ethereal nature of love in the lyrics of songs from the top 40.
No one who has been indulging in this way can plausibly hide it, even with a new outfit. The key here is distraction. Talk to them about their favourite topic, which is usually them or a boring hobby that you hated when you were together. Then, don't listen to anything they say – just nod and smile, occasionally saying "that's so interesting" and "how great". Repeat for 15-30 minutes, and make a stealthy exit. Their new partner can be dealt with efficiently by using the question bomb: "Nice to meet you Angelica. So tell me: what are your thoughts on druids?"
Adopt the "flaunting how madly in love you are with someone else" technique with extreme caution. The new love of your life could end up an innocent victim of a question bomb deployed by your ex or – worse still – making friends with your ex (even disgustingly agreeing to do something recreational with them). Either way, it will have seriously backfired.
Any encounter immediately becomes more complex if the procurement of stuff is the reason for the meeting. Sadly, there are no courts to sort out custodial rights for David Bowie LPs or Batman special edition DVDs. In the case of you v your ex over the Breaking Bad box set, you must stand firm. Look them straight in the eye while you repeat in your head: "Breaking Bad belongs to me, Breaking Bad belongs to me." Buy them a drink (the phrase "for old times' sake" might be useful here). Keep the beer coming while you subtly throw in nostalgic mini speeches commensurate with the relationship. Kill them with kindness until you make the final move (after the fourth pint) by saying: "I think it would be a lovely end to this whole lovely thing if you could find it in yourself to be so lovely and give me the LPs/box set/Daniel O'Donnell salt and pepper shakers." You could also produce a pre-made contract at this point, but there may be legal complications.
Above all, remember to relax. Anticipation is your enemy. Seeing your ex for the first time is like a visit to the dentist: always less painful than you think it will be.

Re: Nikon 28-300 VR - suitability and or sharpness
I have long "championed" this lens as a great all-in-one choice. NO - it's not as good as a pro-level prime or zoom. But you can almost always have it with you.
I lLOVED it when I was still using a D90 and D700...I LIKE it on the D800.
Just don't EVER compare it side-by-side with the Nikkor 300mm f/2.8! I made that mistake and it cost me nearly $6,000! Once you see the difference at 300mm you simply can't believe you were ever satisfied with the 28-300 at that focal length.
On the other hand...I can't carry the f/2.8 around all the time. The little zoom is always with me

Rufus Wainwright Plays Davies Hall With SF Symphony
Every once in a while, when the SF Symphony has a break, Davies Hall brings in the unexpected guest performer—from The Roots to Kathy Griffin. This weekend, Rufus Wainwright is on the bill, but—get this—the composer/vocalist/pianist will be performing with the symphony, not instead of them.
The Week's Hottest Events: MGMT, Summer & The Symphony Finale with Chris Noth (aka Mr. Big) and the Miniature Tigers
Tuesday, 7/20/10
Comedy: Maria Bamford
The hilarious Maria Bamford, whose Black Friday ads for Target made our entire Thanksgiving weekend last year, will take the stage at Punch Line Comedy Club on Tuesday. Known for her self-depracating comedy, we're confident saying she's one of the most creative comics working today. Don't be discouraged by the SOLD OUT warnings on LiveNation—work it on Craigslist or get yourself to the venue early. We bet you'll find a way in.
Keeping Score with MTT
October in our fair city is definitely a-buzz. Last week, San Francisco swayed to the sounds of the renown Bluegrass Festival. This weekend, it's President's Cup golf tourney and the Blue Angels.
But with the season's lengthening shadows and rain on the horizon, doesn't a night at home listening to great music sound divine?
Well pull up your comfy chair and grab the remote because SF Symphony maestro Michael Tilson Thomas and KQED serve up fabulous music, and more, this month on Keeping Score.
The Band Played on @ SF Symphony Opening Night Gala
Music, it is said, hath charms to soothe the savage breast.
And maestro Michael Tilson Thomas and his band, starring piano virtuoso Lang Lang, masterfully hit their notes last night in Davies Symphony Hall during a sold-out, glittery opening-night gala that heralded the 98th season of the San Francisco Symphony.
Let's face it, most of this past year has been a bit of a bummer. At last year's opener, few had yet to grasp the economic troubles we'd witness during the past 365 days. The fallout from Wall Street had yet to sink in (or rather, sink down); a new president waited in the wings as the election neared.

Great dehumidifier
This review is from: EdgeStar Energy Star 70 Pint Portable Dehumidifier - White
Pros: The unit is surprisingly quiet, for a dehumidifier. It is really effective at removing water from the air, and drops the humidity in a below grade room about 25'by 12' from about mid 60's to low 40's in a day. I turn it completely off in between cycles, because it saves electricity (the fan continues to run on automatic), and it still keeps the humidity down. It's fairly easy to empty, haven't used a hose.
Cons: The tank is a little awkward to remove from unit, care must be taken. That said, it's not really hard, it just requires attention. Replacing it also requires care. Careless insertion might break something. And you can't set it down, it's unstable. The instructions say this, so they tell you.
Other Thoughts: So far, the unit has exceeded expectations. Easy to use, but one can't become careless.

With two decades as a major figure in the industry, rapper Nas' careers has become the stuff of legends in Hip Hop lore. Now, in a recent list, Complex unearths 50 little known facts about the legendary emcee.
In a recent article, Complex offered up 50 facts about the Queensbridge emcee's lengthy career. According to the list, Nas' It Was Written was supposed to be produced by Marley Marl, while "Live Nigga Rap" was originally intended for Mobb Deep's Hell on Earth.
"'Live Nigga Rap' was originally Mobb Deep's record for Hell on Earth, but Nas bought it from them so he could use it on It Was Written," reads the article. The list continues with tidbits like, "It Was Written was supposed to be produced entirely by Marley Marl, but the idea fell through when Nas heard unfinished songs on the radio," and "The original version of 'Ether' featured the line, 'It should've been you in that plane crash'—referring to the plane crash Aaliyah died in."
Check out the full list over at Complex.

So I was thinking of a feature about favourite sites.
For example, I'm interested in
physics and
gaming. Thats 4 out of, at the moment of writing, 71 active sites.
Whenever I want to switch from one to another, I either have to open All Sites list on Stack Exchange (and then look/search for my desired one), or, open the upper left Stack Exchange button, switch to all sites tab and scroll to find my desired site.
Well, no problems with all that, but it takes time, especially, if I'm interested only in 4 sites and the quick-selection list seems to be different from site to site.
So, the idea, to have a favourite sites tracker, next to, or implemented inside the "all sites" as the priority sites, therefore shown at the top of the list. Or a separate tracker.
It could as well be transformed into My sites tracker. The difference between My sites and Favourite sites is that "My sites" gets tracked automatically whenever a question/comment/etc. is posted on a site, where Favourite sites are user marked sites he'd wants to follow.
With or without tracker:
With this I meant that there could also be a different tracker for these sites. Well, currently the updates work kind of like in "My sites" fashion, but a tracker that'd show how much questions have been added, how much have been added with tags of my interest, etc.
That's my little feature request, what do you think about it?

I'm having a problem with my Stokers Crankset (seems to be slightly bent), so I'm looking to upgrade my cranksets. I have a Co-Motion Speedster with Raceface 9 speed cranks and I'm looking to upgrade to the Shimano R601/602 cranksets. Since the new cranksets are 10s compatible, will I have any problems installing them with 9 speed derailleurs and a 9 speed chain?
Any other problems you might see me having changing from Raceface to Shimano cranks?

Lemoore sailor charged in child porn case [The Fresno Bee :: ]
(Fresno Bee, The (CA) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) June 19--A sailor stationed at Lemoore Naval Air Station is under arrest and faces federal charges of receiving child pornography, sending obscene materials to minors and sexual exploitation of a minor.
Michael Brandon Kiper, 29, was charged last week, according documents in U.S. District Court in Fresno.
But his first court appearance will be in federal court in San Diego, and it could be several weeks before he's brought to Fresno, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
Before his arrest last month by the U.S. Marshals Service, the Navy issued a bulletin that he was wanted for desertion. Now he's in the brig at the Miramar Marine Corps Air Station.
The Navy isn't commenting on the investigation, Lemoore base public affairs officer Melinda Larson said.
The case started in early January in Pennsburg, Pa. when a 14-year-old girl sent an explicit photo of herself via Kik text messaging service to someone named "James White" -- later identified as Kiper, court documents said -- who threatened to post it online if she didn't send him more pictures.
The girl told her mother, who called police.
The teen told police she'd been contacted via text message by someone claiming to be an agent for a modeling company.
Police reviewed the girl's text messages, and that she'd asked White if she could "wait till June and I turn 15" to start "modeling." He responded, "Why wait when you can do it now? You're lucky I still have an open spot," court documents said.
Using a subpoena, police traced the Internet address receiving the explicit photo to Kiper's dormitory room at Lemoore Naval Air Station, and notified the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.
On May 1, NCIS agents seized several electronic devices from Kiper at Fallon Naval Air Station in Nevada, where he was temporarily assigned, and from his dorm room in Lemoore.
Two iPhones, two laptops, one iPad, an external hard drive and a SanDisk memory card were seized, court documents said.
Kiper invoked his constitutional rights and refused to be interviewed. That day, he drove away in his car, leaving his uniforms and possessions, and was listed as an unauthorized absence.
A few days later, he was traced to Colby, Kan., through his Armed Forces Bank debit card. On May 27, the U.S. Marshals Service arrested him in Enos, Okla.
His wife, who is not named in court documents, told investigators the two have been separated because he drank too much, had online interactions with females and had a affair with an 18-year-old.
Three additional underage victims -- in Virginia, Indiana and Ohio -- have been found, court documents said.
Kiper, originally from Big Bear Lake, enlisted nine years ago.
He is a second class petty officer and a master at arms involved in security and protection who has served in Lemoore, Bahrain, San Diego, Silvervale, Wash., and San Antonio.
The reporter can be reached at (559) 441-6104, firstname.lastname@example.com or @fb_LewGriswold on Twitter.

* FTSEurofirst 300 down 0.1 pct but on track for 3rd week ofgains
* AXA, Renault, Schneider join list of companies hit by FX
* Unexpectedly weak Ifo underscores growth concerns
By Toni Vorobyova
LONDON, Oct 25 (Reuters) - European shares steadied onFriday after a growing list of companies reported earnings hitby an adverse exchange rate, prompting investors to lock inprofits at the end of a third straight week of market gains.
A strong euro hit sales at French insurer AXA andcarmaker Renault, while prompting electrical gearmaker Schneider Electric to lower its full yearforecasts.
The euro has risen to 2-year highs on a trade-weightedbasis, with the currency strength making it harder for Europeanexporters to compete on price, as well as reducing the domesticcurrency value of their foreign earnings.
Weak earnings also weighed on home appliances makerElectrolux and truckmaker Volvo, down 7.5and 7.0 percent, respectively.
"The weakness of emerging currencies which we experienced inthe summer is clearly impacting earnings right now, because youhave a lot of guidance downgraded. It's the big issue for thisearnings season," said Benoit Peloille, investment strategist atNatixis.
"That's why we continue to push a value strategy oriented ondomestic stocks that are more reliant on the euro zone trendrather than on growth stocks which are exposed to emergingcountries. These stocks have benefited from premium valuations... so they are the most in danger."
The FTSEurofirst 300 was down 0.1 percent at 1,285.25 pointsby 1002 GMT, holding around 10 points below the 5-year highs hiton Tuesday, but still up 0.6 percent on the week.
With the pan-European index already up more than 13 percentsince the start of 2013 and in the running for its biggestannual gain four years, investors have been counting on apick-up in earnings to become the next driver of equity marketgains, taking over from central bank stimulus.
However, despite some bright spots, the latest resultsseason suggests the recovery has not yet happened, with some 43percent of the companies to have reported so far missingearnings expectations, according to StarMine.
Sentiment has also been bruised by expectations that atwo-week U.S. government shutdown this month will hit growth inthe world's biggest economy, while an unexpected fall in theGerman Ifo business climate index on Friday cast some doubtabout the strength of the recovery in the euro zone.
"We have come quite far (on equity markets) and the earningsare relatively mixed as they are coming out. We are slightlycautious going into the year-end," said Gautam Batra, chiefinvestment officer at Signia Wealth.
"We are looking for a turn in momentum to trim (holdings),and it will be probably across the board ... For us, the focusis very much protecting the gains."

• Third place: Bicycle by Jon Stommel
• People's Choice: Beacon Rock by Michael Felix
• Honorable Mention: Kaiser Shipyard by Ellen Clark
For more information on the mural society, visit ccmurals.org.
ESTHER SHORT — On a rainy November day, Crystal Lary walked her dog Coava through downtown Vancouver. Amid the gray and brick buildings, she met blasts of color as she reached the train tracks near the Columbia River.
To her left, a mural of a smiling cloud riding a bike in front of a long rainbow. To her right, a wall crowded with paintings depicting decades of America's military history. Colorful images also line the railroad overpass.
"It's a nice pop," she said. "I think the people who can see (the murals) really appreciate it."
The colorful paintings showing up throughout the city's core are part of an effort by the Clark County Mural Society to bring more vitality to Vancouver.
"It's a fun way to clean up our city and bring vibrancy and color," said Nikki White, a board member for the mural society.
The murals are a way to attract people to downtown while also promoting Vancouver's artistic identity and cultural richness, White said.
"The more tourism we can bring and the more traffic we can bring to our small businesses down here, the better," White said.
After the mural society's first mural in 2005, the nonprofit helped create a mural or two each year. But for the past two years, the organization has picked up the pace through a competition called the Summer of Murals.
This summer, the competition added five new murals to walls of Vancouver buildings, for a total of 16 pieces of wall art, White said. And while downtown has been a focal point, White said that eventually the mural society hopes to spread the project throughout the county.
"I would love to (have) 100 murals and be recognized as a national mural destination," White said.
For the Summer of Murals, the mural society chooses a theme for each wall and then artists submit drawings based on the themes. A panel of judges, which includes members of the Clark County art community, then decides which artists will paint the murals. Business owners who offer up their blank walls get some say as well before the artists put brush to brick.
The project is paid for entirely through donations. A handful of Vancouver businesses donated more than $10,000 in prize money for the artists; paint was donated by Sherwin-Williams and fundraising events will pay for the murals' maintenance.
Matt Brislawn, owner of Briz Loan & Guitar, was excited to be part of the project.
"We have this big blank wall out there staring at me every day," he said. "I've always admired the murals that have been around for years. It adds character to our downtown."
The theme that the mural society matched with his wall was fitting for his business as well — wine and jazz festivals.
The brick wall now boasts a mural of green and white piano keys that appear to dance in front of other instruments on a checkered backdrop. The whole scene is framed by grapevines.
"It's pretty awesome," he said. "If all goes well, we'd like to have (David Van Overeem, the artist) come back and expand on it in the coming years."
And the more colorful paintings that emerge, the more positive feedback the mural society is getting.
"It's really starting to get legs," White said. "It's going to be exciting over the next few years to see even more pop up."

The piece arrived a little banged up and I wasn't thrilled with the muddy looking color. I'm going to paint it, so the little knicks will be easy to cover. The counter top is also a bit more pink than I thought it would be. Still a decent value for the price.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? It looks more yellowish gray than the photo. I'm going to have to paint it.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality seems like a good value for the price. It is real wood.
Delivered quickly. It's so beautiful that I need to upgrade my lighting fixture to compliment. I had it professionally installed and the technician said that it was top quality.The cabinet looks white in the picture but it's actually a light cream.

Following an uproar of skepticism over its business model after its initial public offering last month, Facebook's is going all-out to persuade companies that advertising on its site works after all.
A new report partially-funded by Facebook and compiled by Internet research company comScore says marketing on Facebook is effective because it influences consumer behavior and leads to increased purchases for the brands that make use of the social-networking site.
The report comes after a Reuters/Ipsos poll found that four out of five Facebook users had never bought a product or service as a result of advertising or comments on the social network site, underlining, to some observers, the challenges it faces when it comes to drawing in revenue.
Since it went public in mid-May, investors' worries about Facebook's money-making abilities have pushed the company's stock price down 29 percent since its offering last month, reducing its market value by $30 billion to roughly $74 billion.
Tuesday's report looks at the behavior of Facebook users who have become fans of certain brands and products. It found that those users tend to outspend other consumers for that particular brand. ComScore cited Amazon, Best Buy, and Target as examples.
Brand pages on Facebook now see more traffic than their corresponding brand websites, comScore found, although most brand exposures on Facebook happen through a user's news feed rather than through visits to a dedicated brand page on Facebook, as users spend the highest percentage of their time on Facebook looking at the news feed. That ends up being the primary channel for brand exposure, comScore said.
Larry Chiagouris, a professor of marketing at the Lubin School of Business at Pace University in New York, said the report's findings don't necessarily show Facebook ads are effective in getting people to click through and buy a product.
"It doesn't surprise me that people who like something are more likely to take action to buy that product," he said. "The question is how to get someone else to like it."
Andrew Lipsman, vice president of industry analysis at comScore, noted that traditionally advertising effectiveness online has been measured by how many visitors to a site click on an ad to visit the retailer's website. For Facebook, those numbers have tended to be low, he said.
ComScore's report, by contrast, aims to show how a brand on Facebook can increase awareness and, over time, lead Facebook users to purchase a particular brand or product, Lipsman said.
"What we're doing here is measuring the behavior of those who are exposed and not exposed to brands on Facebook, and you can see what the impact is," Lipsman said.
