Erin Ann "Nan" Mustard's life through pictures. Remembering an incredibly wonderful, giving woman.
From 1986-1992, my husband and I had the honor of pastoring the Tracy Adventist Church. During those years, Tim and Nan became dear friends as we worshipped together, camped together, and most importantly--did lots of music together. This book is given from my heart to all those who loved Nan--so we can all remember her giving, loving life--and take her with us.

St. Patrick's Day
Take the whole family to London and join in this annual Irish festival.
St. Patrick's Day Parade
St. Patrick's Day is a uniquely Irish holiday but it is celebrated in more countries around the world than any other national holiday, and it is growing in popularity.
The parade is free and is a great day out in the capital for all the family. The parade will begin at Hyde Park Corner and finish at Whitehall. It will follow the route from Park Lane to Hyde Park Corner, down Piccadilly to Piccadilly Circus. It moves on to Lower Regent Street, by Trafalgar Square and disperses at Whitehall Place. The parade will form at 11a.m. and will end at approximately 3pm at the Embankment.
The St Patrick's Day parade promises to be bigger and better than previous years. The aim is to rival the annual international parades that are so popular and successful in New York and Dublin and other cities across the world. You can expect to see a musical procession of large marching bands and bright and colourful floats. There are floats from all the Irish counties and the streets will be lined with various stalls.
- Trafalgar Square - Trafalgar Square will have a main performance stage where you can enjoy both traditional and contemporary Irish music.
- Leicester Square - Leicester Square will feature dance, music and story-telling workshops, as well as the usual street performers.
- Covent Garden - Covent Garden is where you can sample all the Irish delicacies from the market stalls, whilst listening to traditional music. The Irish artisan food market has some of Ireland's finest food and drink manufacturers with a wide range of products to choose from.
The St Patrick's Day Parade really is a great fun day out for all the family. Why not stay at the Georgian House Hotel and make a weekend out of it!

Two dozen death penalty opponents gathered at the state capitol.
"We do not gather to excuse the crime."
10 year old Christine McGowan was found strangled in her bed. Florida executed Elmer Carroll.
"I am number 24. Seth Penalver. Exonerated last year in the state of Florida.'
In the crowd of opponents, two of the twenty four men Florida has sentenced to death and then released because they were later found to be innocent.
"There are more innocent people on death row. It's not something new. It's ongoing," said Mark Elliott.
The two exonerees wanted to tell their story to Governor Rick Scott. They hope to convince him not to sign legislation designed to speed up executions.
"I have a letter here from over 40 exonerees from death row from across the United States of America," said Sean Penalver.
The goal of legislation being sent to the Governor is to cut the time on death row from 13 to 10 years. But eight of the people who have been exonerated were there more than a decade.
While the two exonerated men waited for a meeting, they questioned the state's track record. Wednesday's execution was the 76th in recent years. Penalver was the 24th innocent released from death row.
"For everyone, for every three executed you have one innocent. We have a problem here," said Penalver.
Rick Scott was out of town. Two more executions are set for June.
Meanwhile, a 27-Year-old Tampa death penalty opponent is walking Florida.
Kurt Wadsworth Jr. says he will walk 2,000 in his effort to convince Rick Scott not to sign legislation speeding up the death penalty.
The Death Penalty opponent says people have been reaching out since he began his walk a week ago.
"Instead of waiting for the right political moment, or waiting for the right politician, or waiting for the right piece of legislation. I have two feet and I get up and I start walking and start talking to people. As I'm walking down the street, there are people pulling over to thank me. They bring food, sometimes they bring ice cream. I've never seen such outpouring of support," said Wadsworth Jr.
Wadsworth began his walk in Pensacola, traveled by car to Tallahassee to take part in a protest of the death penalty, and is being driven back to the Panhandle so he can resume his 2,000 mile walk.

San Francisco Giants 2016 News and Updates
The San Francisco Giants broke their eight game winning streak with a 1-0 loss against the Pirates. Madison Bumgarner was on the mound for the Giants, and this was his first loss since April 20. Bumgarner only allowed five hits, but unfortunately one of those was a homer in the fifth inning. The homer went just over the left field wall and was almost snagged by Angel Pagan. Pagan had the ball in his glove but was unable to hold onto it. The Giants will look to get back to their winning ways when they play the Pirates for three more games on the 21, 22 and 23. You can still get tickets for $10 and up.

After going 2-2 against the Braves, the San Francisco Giants started off their three game series against the Cardinals strong with a 5-1 win despite the absence of Hunter Pence, who might miss as much as eight weeks due to a hamstring injury. Johnny Cueto was on the mound and held the Cardinals to just one unearned run despite some back issues. However, the Giants fell to the Cardinals in the next two games to lose the series 1-2. The Giants next head home to host the Red Sox for two games starting on the 7, followed by a three game series at home against the Dodgers. You can still get tickets, with prices starting at $24.
The San Francisco Giants are looking great this season as they top the leader board in the NL West division. They hold tightly to the number one spot with three wins ahead of the Colorado Rockies. Winning their last five games in a row, the Giants are on a high and hope to hold on to their winning streak. They start a new three-game series against the San Diego Padres on May 17, which wraps up on May 19. Don't miss your chance to catch two California teams duke it out on the field this week. Tickets are still up for grabs and start at an affordable $21 a seat.
The San Francisco Giants are starting to click and now is the time to get tickets and see if this club has what it takes to keep their even-year magic alive. The top of the Giants' rotation has been stellar, having gotten back on track against the Reds after a rough series against the Mets. After losing five straight in mid-April, the offense has come alive and the team is back over .500. The G-Men have an interleague showdown as the Toronto Blue Jays visit AT&T Park starting on May 9. Madison Bumgarner takes the mound on Wednesday, May 11 for a day game, and tickets are available starting at less than $10.
The San Francisco Giants have had at least one home run in each of their opening eight games, and the superstitious nature of some baseball lovers has many calling this a good omen for the 2016 season. Others are calling it a fluke, but no matter what you think, it's made for great baseball. Giants fans are anxiously keeping their eyes on the coming games, and what's better than being there in person! The team will head south this weekend for a series at LA, but will be back early next week for a run against the Diamondbacks at At&T Park. Tickets for all games, whether home or away, are available from us today!
The 2016-2017 MLB season is in full swing as many teams played their first game of the season on Tuesday, April 5. This included the San Francisco Giants who took on the Milwaukee Brewers. The Giants pitchers didn't have a great game on the mound, but this didn't transpire in the final 12-3 score for the Giants. Offensively, the Giants were unstoppable, which proved to be true when they hit back-to-back homers in the eighth inning. See if the good juices continue to flow when they play the Brewers again on April 6 starting at 12:40 p.m. Tickets range from $4-$43, making it an extremely affordable game to attend so don't miss your chance.
Spring training has been confusing for the San Francisco Giants and fans alike. Going into the off-season, the Giants took to a strategy enlisting big names associated with even bigger money to create an indomitable lineup. Unfortunately, things have looked less than promising during Spring Training, although the Giants did managed to beat the Colorado Rockies 10 – 4 in a recent wallop. Will they be able to keep the steam going heading into Opening Day? Find out on Thursday, April 7 when the Los Angeles Dodgers come to visit AT&T Park. Tickets are still available for purchase and can be found for prices starting at $113 and up. Don't miss it!
3/18/16 - The San Francisco Giants are back. The new season is going to kick off on April 4th, but you don't have to wait that long to catch the Giants in action. They are now a few weeks into the preseason, now having a record of 7-10. You can get tickets to come out and show your support while the Giants prepare for the regular season. Tickets for the next preseason game, which will be on March 21st against the Oakland Athletics, start at just $30. Be sure to secure your spot in the stands for the regular season home opener, which will be on April 7th. The Giants will host the Los Angeles Dodgers.
2015 Season
10/8/15 - For this year's San Francisco Giants, the title defense ended before it even got off the ground. The 2014 World Series Champions were eliminated from playoff contention in the final games of the regular season, missing out on the chance for back-to-back titles once again. Injuries made it tough for SF to truly take off this year, with key contributors such as Hunter Pence and Nori Aoki missing significant time. Giants fans are surely feeling confident enough, though—after all, their team has taken the trophy every other year since 2010. Now's the time to get the best seats at AT&T Park for next season—2016 MLB tickets are on sale today!
10/1/15 - The San Francisco Giants are nearly done with the regular season. Only one home set, against the Colorado Rockies, remain. The set kicks off on October 2nd. This could be your last chance to catch the Giants live in action. Tickets for the first match of the set start as low as $9. With a record of 82-75, the Giants did very well this season, but there are still a number of teams above the Giants in ranking. They do have a very real chance of participating in the postseason, or possibly even the World Series, but it is also possible that their final game this year will be on October 4th.
9/24/15 - The San Francisco Giants won the first of three games against the Padres on September 22. After four scoreless innings, Trevor Brown had his first hit in the Major League, bringing in two runs. Angel Pagan hit a two-run homer in the seventh to help secure the 4-2 victory. The win helped the Giants in their dreams of a post season, but the next night they lost a back-and-forth game to fall seven games behind the Dodgers. The Padres and Giants play one more game, and then the Giants head to Oakland to play the A's for a three game series staring on the 25th. They will be looking to decrease the gap between them and the Dodgers before the two teams play on the 28th. You still have time to buy tickets, with prices starting at $15.
9/17/15 - The San Francisco Giants are on a roll. They hit a minor setback against the Cincinnati Reds in a close 9-8 loss, but besides that single loss, the Giants are doing excellent during this home series. They have won five of their last games, including a four-game winning streak. One set remains before they have a short series on the road, which they leave for on September 20th, then they will return for their final stretch of home games. In total, 10 games remain before the post season, so be sure to secure your spots in the stands now. Tickets for their upcoming games are still available and you can attend their homecoming for as little as $17. There's nothing stopping you from catching the Giants in action in the coming weeks.
9/10/15 - This most recent series of away games proved to be trouble for the San Francisco Giants, but they have finally ended their losing streak. On September 5th, the Giants blew the Colorado Rockies away with a 7-3 victory. That win opened up the door and the Giants won two of the next four games. Now that they are back in San Francisco, there are nine home games lined up. Plenty of opportunities to catch the action for fans to take advantage of. After heading out on the road again on September 20th, they will only have one more series of home games before the season ends. Be sure to get your tickets while you still can. Tickets for their first home game are still available starting at $15.
9/1/15 - After a trio of wins, the San Francisco Giants find themselves on the other side of the board. The losses began with a shutout against the Cardinals, followed by another loss the next night. In the first of three against the Dodgers, the Giants held the team to a tie until the Dodgers got the winning run in the bottom of the 14th inning. The game lasted so long it was past midnight before it was finally over. This week, the Giants added some depth to their outfield by trading minor leaguer Luis Ysla for Alejandro De Aza with the Red Sox. The Giants and Dodgers meet again for another match on the 1st and 2nd, and then the Giants head to Colorado for three games. You still have a chance for tickets, with prices starting at $21.
8/26/15 - The San Francisco Giants are in need of a win if they want to maintain their spot as second in the NL Western Division. They have lost their last three consecutive games, the last of which was the opening game in a three game series against the Cubs. The game started off fine, and then the Cubs scored three runs in the third followed by three in the fourth and another two in the sixth. The Giants were unable to get on the board until the sixth inning. A four run rally in the eighth closed the gap, but it was too little, too late. The two teams meet again on the 26th and 27th, and then the Giants host the Cardinals for three games. Tickets are still available with prices starting at $18.
8/21/15 - After sweeping the Nationals in impressive fashion, the San Francisco Giants weren't quite so lucky versus the NL-best Cardinals. St. Louis took two out of three from the defending World Champs, with only the middle game decided by more than one run. The Giants shut out the Redbirds 2-0 on Tuesday but dropped nail-biters on Monday (2-1) and Wednesday (4-3). The losses kept SF two games back of their rivals from L.A. in the NL West race, but just 3.5 games out of the second Wild Card spot, the black-and-orange know they're in position for another postseason run. It'll be a big series at AT&T Park starting this Tuesday when the Chicago Cubs come to town—get tickets for the opener starting at $27 each!
8/14/15 - The San Francisco Giants had a lot of trouble during their series of away games, but that is all over now. They are back in San Francisco and they are back to winning. Most recently, the Giants have been able to score three runs against the Houston Astros for the win. They will only be playing two games against the Astros and four more against the Washington Nationals before hitting the road again, so be sure to catch them live while you can. Their final home game will be on August 16th. Their next game is almost entirely sold out, but you can attend the first match against the Nationals for just $32. Secure your spot in the stands early and see how far their winning streak can go.
8/6/15 - After losing the first of three games against the Braves, the San Francisco Giants won 8-3. The Giants scored first with a run in the top of the first inning. The Braves answered back in the third and the game remained close until the Giants' Matt Duffy tied the game with a double in the eighth inning. Hunter Pence then hit a three-run homer to ensure the victory. The Giants added two more runs in the ninth inning for good measure. The two teams play again on the 5th, and then the Giants head to Chicago for a four game series against the Cubs. You still have a chance to watch the games in person by buying your tickets on Razorgator. Ticket prices start at $33.
7/30/15 - The San Francisco Giants have had a productive season so far, standing in second place in the NL West Division. They follow the Los Angeles Dodgers by only three wins and have won their last nine of ten games. On July 20 the Padres stopped the Giants six-game winning streak by beating them 4-2. Don't worry though, the Giants answered by creaming the Padres the next two games of the series. The Giants are looking forward to taking on the Oakland Athletics this weekend on home turf. Watching live baseball is perfect weekend entertainment for family and friends. Tickets for all games against the Athletics are still available and affordable. Ticket prices range from $60 up to the hundreds. Don't wait and purchase yours today.
7/23/15 - The San Francisco Giants have had a productive season so far, standing in second place in the NL West Division. They follow the Los Angeles Dodgers by only three wins and have won their last nine of ten games. On July 20 the Padres stopped the Giants six-game winning streak by beating them 4-2. Don't worry though, the Giants answered by creaming the Padres the next two games of the series. The Giants are looking forward to taking on the Oakland Athletics this weekend on home turf. Watching live baseball is perfect weekend entertainment for family and friends. Tickets for all games against the Athletics are still available and affordable. Ticket prices range from $60 up to the hundreds. Don't wait and purchase yours today.
7/17/15 - The San Francisco Giants will try to build on their three game winning streak after beating the Phillies in all three games of their most recent series. In the first game, the Giants beat the Phillies 15-2, thanks in a large part to an 8 run fourth inning. During this inning, Hunter Pence had a grand slam. The next night, the Giants again had a busy inning, this time in the sixth when they scored five runs. Their final win also came thanks to a run-heavy inning, when they scored four in the fourth, thanks to a three-run homer by Andrew Susac. The Giants will look to keep their winning streak alive when they head to Arizona to play the Diamondbacks for three games starting on the 17th. Tickets are available, starting at $7.
7/10/15 - The San Francisco Giants' series of away games took a bigger toll than they were expecting. Despite their best efforts, the Giants were unable to win a single game while they were travelling. Their slump even continued after their return to San Francisco, being completely shut out in their first game back against the New York Mets. However, the Giants' slump is officially over as they come right back with revenge by shutting the Mets out the very next game. This 0-3 victory brings their seven-game losing streak to an end. Unfortunately, it will not be long until they hit the road again. Be sure to catch the Giants in action while they are on a roll and in San Francisco. They will be leaving again on July 17th.
7/3/15 - The San Francisco Giants are excelling this season, but they just started a series of away games that is causing a little trouble for the team. Leaving their field for the first time since mid-June, the Giants lost each of their matchups against the Miami Marlins. Before they return to San Francisco, the Giants are going to have to take on the Washington Nationals on their own field. Hopefully, they are able to get some wins so they can hit the ground running when they return on July 6th. Despite this slight setback, San Francisco is just three wins away from securing the top spot in the NL Western Division, overtaking the Los Angeles Dodgers. Tickets for their homecoming game start as low as $11.
6/25/15 - After winning three games in a row, the San Francisco Giants lost two. In their first game against the Padres in a series of three, the Giants were ahead 2-0, thanks to Madison Bumgarner striking out 14 players, which made a career-high for him. However, the Padres tied the game up in the eighth, sending it into overtime, and with a run in the 11th took home the victory. The next night, the Giants did not let the Padres score. Buster Posey had a grand slam, making it the second in five games, helping the Giants win 6-0. The two teams face each other again on the 25, and then the Giants have a three game series against the Rockies. Tickets to all games are still available, starting at $8.
6/18/15 - After five straight losses, the San Francisco Giants beat the Mariners 6-2 giving them their first home game win in June. Tim Lincecum earned his seventh win of the season, and Matt Duffy homered in the first. The Giants have a 35-32 record. Even with their recent set of losses, they're still in second place in the NL West and just 2.5 games out of first. This weekend, the Giants are in Los Angeles with games against the Dodgers, but you can see your home team on Tuesday (6/23) when they return to AT&T Park to host the San Diego Padres in a three-game series. Tickets for the game on Wednesday (6/24) start at $4. Come out and enjoy the camaraderie that you can only get when you're in the stadium.
6/9/15 - The San Francisco Giants (33-26) are just one game behind Los Angeles Dodgers (34-25), the leader in the NL West. The Giants shutout the New York Mets in Tuesday's opening game, giving pitcher Chris Heston his 6th win of the season. Matt Duffy and Joe Panik homered in the 6th and 7th innings, respectively, and the Giants won 5-0. This upcoming weekend, the Giants host the Arizona Diamondbacks in three games beginning on Friday (6/12) evening. Get your tickets now starting at $12, and unwind after a long week at work in the stadium with good friends and fun. On Monday (6/15), the Giants play the Seattle Mariners in two games before traveling to Seattle for another meeting. Come out and show your support for the Giants!
6/5/15 - After a five-game winning streak, the San Francisco Giants can't seem to catch a break. They're lost their last five games, splitting the series against the Braves, and being swept by the Pirates. However, the sting of this is probably offset by the fact that they went to Washington D.C. to be honored by President Obama for the 2014 World Series win. Over the upcoming weekend, the Giants play in Philadelphia, then they go to New York for three games against the Mets. On Friday (6/12), they return to AT&T Park to host the Arizona Diamondbacks in a three-game series. There's plenty of great seats available, and you're sure to get the ones you want. Tickets start at $11. Come out to the ballpark and cheer for your home team.
5/28/15 - The San Francisco Giants are on a three-game winning streak for a 28-20 record, which is good for second place in the NL West. They swept the series against the Milwaukee Brewers, giving them momentum for their next seven games, which will be fought on home turf. First up, it's the Atlanta Braves, beginning on Thursday for four games over the weekend. Tickets start at $31 for Saturday's (5/30), and there's still great seats available to enjoy America's favorite pastime. When the Braves go home, the Giants host the Pittsburgh Pirates in a three-game series beginning on Monday (6/1). Tickets start at $3, which means you can bring the whole family for less than the price of a movie. It's a geat way to relax after a long day at work, so come out to the ballpark.
5/22/15 - The San Francisco Giants lost in the set opener against the Cincinnati Reds, but they have been doing exceptionally well since then, their streak now up to four games. In the first three matches, the Giants did not fall below a very impressive nine runs, and while they only scored twice in the final match, against the Los Angeles Dodgers, they did manage to shut the Dodgers out for the entire game. The Dodgers are one of the top teams in the league, however, so their next couple games are sure to be a challenge. After the last two remaining games in this set, the Giants will hit the road for two sets and will not return until May 28th to take on the Atlanta Braves.
5/14/15 - After an even series against the Marlins, in which both teams won two games, the San Francisco Giants have a chance to take the two game series against the Astros. They won the first game 8-1. In the second inning, Matt Duffy hit a double that brought in three runs and a single for two runs in the fifth, which made for a career high five runs. The Giants also ended Collin McHugh's 11-game winnings streak. Giants' pitcher Chris Heston played his first complete game in which he allowed only two hits and one run, as well as throwing 10 strike outs. The Giants play the Astros again on May 13 before heading to Cincinnati for a four game series against the Reds that starts on the 14th. Tickets are still available, with prices starting at $3.
5/8/15 - The San Francisco Giants have not quite managed to get back into a positive win/loss ratio, but they certainly have been playing very well lately. After remaining undefeated in their set with the Los Angeles Angels and managing to shut out the San Diego Padres in two separate matches, not to mention shutting the Angles out once as well, the Giants are now 14-15. Their winning streak was up to five games, but the Miami Marlins have been giving them some trouble. The Giants could only score in the seventh inning and the Marlins won 7-2 on May 7th's matchup. There are three more games in this set and then the Giants will be hitting the road. Tickets are available starting as low as $10.
4/29/15 - It took eleven innings, but the San Francisco Giants held off the Rockies to earn their first win (5-4) against them in the 2015 Season. Pitcher Jean Machi picked up his first win, and left fielder Nori Aoki scored the winning run for the Giants. On Friday (5/1), the Giants host the Los Angeles Angels in a three-game weekend series. Great seats start at only $18 for this evening game, but they'll be there all weekend. The Giants don't get any rest before hosting the San Diego Padres beginning on Monday (5/4). Don't wait to grab your tickets for one of these games. Come down to the ballpark and cheer for your hometown team. They need your support to improve their 8-12 record and get back on top of their game.
4/24/15 - After an eight game losing streak that began on April 10 against the Padres, the Giants have won two games, the first against the Diamondbacks (1-4). In the opening game of three against the Dodgers, their oldest rival, the Giants showed them who was boss, ending the Dodger's seven-game winning streak. The Giants had four double plays, and with pitcher Tim Lincecum keeping the Dodgers to seven hits, the final score of 2-6 gave the Giants the win. The Giants have games against the Dodgers through Thursday (4/23). They're out on the road until Friday (5/1) when the Los Angeles Angels come to town for three games. Get your tickets starting at $15, and relax after a long week with a beer and a hot dog.
4/17/15 - The San Francisco Giants are on a five-game losing streak, a disappointing way to start off the 2015 MLB Season. AT&T Park has been rocking out with home games against the Colorado Rockies. On Thursday (4/16), the Giants kick off a four-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Enjoy an evening game when you get off work on Friday. Get your tickets starting at $18. Wrap up your weekend with an afternoon game on Sunday (4/19), and relax before you head out to start your workweek. The Giants get one day off before they start a three-game series on Tuesday (4/21) against the Los Angeles Dodgers. This is probably the most intense rivalry in the MLB, beginning in the late 19th century when both teams were based in NYC. Don't miss any of the action.
4/10/15 - Opening the 2015 MLB Season with a three-game series against the Diamondbacks, the San Francisco Giants have a 3-2 record. They took the first (5-4) and third (5-2) games, but lost the second with a 6-7 score. Chris Heston, pitcher for the Giants had the 5-2 win, and he will be the starter when the Giants play their home opener on Monday (4/13) against the Colorado Rockies. Get your tickets starting at $112. The Rockies have games on Tuesday and Wednesday at AT&T Park, both in the evening. Grab your tickets and enjoy a relaxing game of baseball at the end of a hard day's work. On Thursday (4/16), once your taxes have been sent off, come out for the first of four games against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
4/3/15 - After a disappointing record (11-20) in the Cactus League, the San Francisco Giants are going back to AT&T Park for the regular MLB season. Even with a dismal record during spring training, the Giants still have been given 20 to 1 odds to win the World Series and they're on of the top 13 contenders for that spot. The Giants are out on the road for the opening week of the MLB season. They visit the Arizona Diamondbacks for games on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (4/6-8). Without any rest, they go to San Diego on Thursday for a series of four games through Sunday. The Giants' home opener game is on Monday (4/13) against the Colorado Rockies, and you want to get your tickets now before they're gone.
3/27/15 - Less than two weeks from Opening Day, the San Francisco Giants are ready to approach the 2015 season with a tweaked roster compared with last year's World Championship team. "There is no panic in this (locker) room," insisted veteran RHP Jake Peavy. "No panic, other than Joe Panik." Peavy is the first to discuss adjustments that San Francisco is making as a club, including his own adoption of new pitches this season. "As you get older, why not look for new ways to get people out?" The righty picked up the win versus the Royals on Monday in a preseason rematch of last year's World Series. Next up for the Giants are their Bay Area rivals, the Oakland Athletics. Tickets are still available for Thursday night at Scottsdale Stadium starting at $34!
3/18/15 - The San Francisco Giants are still reeling from their last two losses. IN Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Giants gave away 10 runs while not putting any of their own on the scoreboard. Madison Bumgarner, the 2014 World Series MVP, gave up one run and three hits during his time on the mound. The Giants are 4-12-1 in the Cactus League, and they aren't happy. Upcoming home games include one on Friday (3/20) against the Cincinnati Reds. Tickets start at $62. On Sunday, the Giants host the Los Angeles Angels. You can get tickets starting at $38. If you're off work on Monday (3/23), come on down to Scottsdale Stadium to see the Kansas City Royals. Just $23 per ticket gets you into a great game of baseball.
3/13/15 - The San Francisco Giants have won three games and lost seven, with one draw in the Cactus League after ten days of play. The Giants beat the Chicago White Sox 7-4 in Thursday's game, even though the White Sox took an early lead with two runs in the first inning. The Giants came back with two runs in each of the fourth and fifth innings. The Giants play host to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday (3/15) at their spring training stadium. On Tuesday (3/17), the Diamondbacks come back. Tickets for either of these games start at $26. The Giants are on the road until Friday (3/20) when they host the Cincinnati Reds. You can still get your tickets for this game, starting at $63. End the week with a bang and cheer for your team!
3/6/15 - If the two opening games of spring training are a precursor of the San Francisco Giants upcoming season, it's going to be a rough ride. The Giants lost both games against the Oakland Athletics, not an auspicious beginning for the reigning World Series champions. You won't want to miss the Giants' games in the Cactus League, as they can only get better. The Giants host the San Diego Padres on Saturday (3/7), and the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday at Scottsdale Stadium. They don't get any rest before taking on the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday (3/9), and the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday (3/11). Get your tickets now for these upcoming games and enjoy some great entertainment in the stands while you pick out your favorite players.
2/20/15 - The 2014 World Series championship is still fresh in the minds of the San Francisco Giants and Giants fans alike. With the 2015 season right around the corner, all are eager to see if San Francisco can maintain their momentum from last year. The pitchers and catchers just started spring training this week, so we will only have to wait a little longer to see if they still have it. Your first opportunity to see them in action is March 4th's game against the Oakland Athletics. Ticket start at just $10. Alternatively, if you would like to wait until the season starts proper, the Giant's home opener is on April 13th, a full week after the season begins. Tickets for that game are going for $114.
1/27/15 - Like the rest of the MLB, the San Francisco Giants are using the off-season to shuffle around players to create the best possible team for the coming season. Part of the time off is also spent in renegotiating contracts with existing players. Fans can relax as shortstop Brandon Crawford will be back, without having to enter arbitration with the Giants. They made a deal for a one-year contract that is set to provide Crawford with a $560,000 raise, which brings his salary to $3,175,000. Two players are in salary arbitration: first basement Brandon Belt and third basement Casey McGehee. Negotiations should be over by the time the team heads to Arizona for Spring Training. Their first game is against the Oakland Athletics at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa, and tickets start at $29.

More Even-Year Excitement for SF Giants Fans
Around the Bay Area and anywhere you find fans of the Giants, there's a genuine belief that 2016—by virtue of being an even-numbered year—is San Francisco's year once again. The boys in black and orange have taken the Commissioner's Trophy in each of the last three even-numbered years, and with an intact core returning to the field this season, there's no surprise that baseball diehards are clamoring for cheap San Francisco Giants tickets.
Youth and Experience
SF will once again be anchored by one of the league's top lineups, including Buster Posey, Joe Panik, Hunter Pence and Brandon Crawford. Third baseman Matt Duffy came on strong for the Giants as well last year, quickly ending worries about replacing Pablo Sandoval's production at the hot corner. For all of their positional proficiency, however, it might be the Giants' rotation which strikes the most fear into the hearts of opponents.
Giants on the Mound
Madison Bumgarner returns to lead San Francisco's star-studded rotation, which also now features World Series-winner Johnny Cueto plus Jeff "Shark" Samardzija. With Santiago Casilla back in the mix to handle closing duties, this is one set of hurlers no team will be excited to see. Don't wait around: now is the time to order discount San Francisco Giants tickets for the regular season and Spring Training! Get in to Scottsdale Stadium for Rangers vs. Giants on 3/5 with Razorgator—seats start at just $20!

A BEAUTIFUL princess has been making surprise appearances at little girls' birthday parties across Barnsley.
Laura Davies runs fancy dress business CopyCat Costumes, and launched a sideline in dressing up herself as a princess to surprise children for birthday parties and other special occasions.
She got the idea for the princess visits when her friend asked her to dress up as a princess for her daughter.
"I arrive usually in the second hour of a party, when the children have settled, and I can only stay an hour. That's part of the princess theme - when the hour's over, the princess disappears.
"I never intended to work with children, but I absolutely love it. It's brilliant."

I'm very excited to announce that I've just finished porting my Barbershop Tag application, "Tag Master" from its original Windows Phone 7 incarnation to Android, and it is now available for free from the Android marketplace! I hope you'll give it a try — tell me what you like and what you don't, and who knows, maybe it'll end up in the next version! 🙂
I know for me, having one of these apps for my phone (originally a Windows Phone 7 device, which is why I built for that platform first) is extremely useful when singing at afterglows or just for browsing tags. It's been awesome seeing all of these other developers building apps for the various smartphone platforms and truly bringing a modern edge to barbershop. It doesn't hurt that it's a real opportunity for me to "geek out", both on Barbershop and on software!
A huge thanks to the folks at barbershoptags.com for running an incredible service to our community, and to the small set of friends in Voices in Harmony who've been helping me beta test the application.
Anyway, you can find more details here (also includes information about the Windows Phone 7 app, which I hope to update soon):
Or go directly to the android marketplace:

ROCKFORD, Ill. -
Northern Illinois completed the first day of play in the Second Chance Regional today, held at the Boylan Tennis Center. Each bracket advanced a single round on Friday, and the Huskies had all of their participating players advance in the singles draws. However, over in the doubles draws, both NIU pairings were unable to pull out a victory.
Singles play went smoothly for NIU. Only one match went to three sets. Two players in particular, Haley Dekkinga (Allegan, Mich./Allegan) and Stephanie McDonald (Harare, Zimbabwe/St. Anne's Diocesan College), left little chance for the opposition to get on the board. Dekkinga defeated Stephanie Londre (WGB) without dropping a single point, taking the match 6-0, 6-0. McDonald beat Rachel Menos (WGB) 6-0, 6-2 to take her first match. All Huskie players advanced to the second rounds of the singles draws, which will take place on Saturday, October 12.
Doubles play was a different story for NIU. The team of Dekkinga/McDonald dropped the first match to Knoppe/Sharples (UIC) in an 8-5 final. Ilse Pacheco (San Luis Potosí, Mexico/Alma Patria) and Cristina Alvarez (Zaragoza, Spain/Cristorey and Sagrado Corazon De Jesus) fell to Kanner/Hernandez (MU) 8-1. The teams will be competing for fifth place in their draws on Saturday.
Play will resume on Saturday morning. The events on Saturday will set up the final matches set to begin on Sunday, October 13.
Results Through Day 1:
Second Chance Singles A
Second Chance Singles C
Second Chance Singles D
Second Chance Doubles A

I have a block of cheese sitting in my fridge. I don't know how long it's been sitting there, but the more I open the fridge, the more guilty I get seeing it. So I decided with the huge batch of soup I made recently, it'd be great to serve with scones. More specifically, cheddar cheese scones.
The first hit on google was a recipe from Chatelaine. It was the most simple and I had all the ingredients on hand, so I went with it. Here's their recipe (you can also check it out on their website here):
2 cups – all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper or
1/4 tsp cayenne (I used black pepper, but you might want to use less)
1/4 cup cold butter cut into cubes (I cut them up as I went along)
1 cup grated old cheddar cheese
1 cup cold milk
1. Preheat the oven to 450F (230C), grease a baking sheet.
2. Using a fork, stir flour with baking powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
Work in cold butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in cheese.
3. Make a well in the centre. Pour milk and stir until just moistened.
4. Turn out into a floured cutting board and divide into half. Pat each portion into a 6 inch circle that's about 3/4 thick.
5. Cut each into 6 wedges. Lift wedges onto baking sheet, placing 1 inch apart for crusty-sided scones or 1/2 inch for soft sided scones. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
If found there was too much pepper in this recipe, I would put maybe 1/4tsp. Serve with butter or jam.

The Houston Police Department is asking for the public's help in reporting any incidences of Wilfredo Gutierrez posing as a Texas veterinarian. Gutierrez has pleaded guilty to the unlawful practice of veterinary medicine reported Tuesday's Houston Chronicle.
During a news conference on Monday, Senior Police Officer Suzanne Hollifield, who works with the animal cruelty unit of Houston's Police Department stated:
"We have learned that there are probably over 50 known victims, and we are afraid there are many more victims whose pets have been treated by this individual."
Authorities are asking anyone who may have used Gutierrez for pet services notify them. It is not known at this time if any animals suffered severe consequences under treatment by Gutierrez posing as a licensed vet.
Practicing under the name of DogSmart Veterinary Services, Wilfredo Gutierrez Pet Services and Mobile Vet Vaccinations in the northwest section of Houston, an investigation began when a dog owner reported Gutierrez to authorities for bandaging his dog's leg for a sprain when the animal's leg was actually broken. Authorities contacted the Texas State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners and began an undercover investigation.
Gutierrez has also been charged with felony drug possession of morphine that Houston Police Department contend was stolen. Gutierrez is currently being held in the Harris County Jail.
In Texas, veterinarian technicians do not have to be licensed by the state or any state agency. The Board has recently offered licenses which now expands their supervisory abilities.
Gutierrez told authorities he loves animals. He was charging a lower fee than area vets, which is why pet owners were using his services and were unaware he was not licensed.
Authorities are asking anyone affected by this person to call 713.308.3100.

I always had a fascination for that house.
Every time I traveled to San Juan De la Maguana, once flourishing, now decadent frontier city of the Dominican Republic, just a few kilometers away from the Haitian border, I found myself walking around it and photographing it from the street.
What intrigued me more than the sheer size of this yellow painted wooden building, more than its luxuriously self-indulging, yet Spartan shape, was the absurd number of doors it had all around, both on the lower and on the upper floor.
I kept trying counting all those doors, hoping to reach a definite number, but strangely, I always lost count......
See the VIRTUAL TOUR about this book HERE: http://photoweblab.com/33doors/virtualtour.html
I first discovered photography through an old shoebox of yellowing pictures on my grandparents' kitchen table in Italy. They were born into extreme poverty at the beginning of the 20th century in the malaria-ridden swamps of southern Tuscany. Their pictures quickly became a portal for me to travel to a different era. They became a visual corroboration of the oral histories I heard over and over around a bowl of roasted chestnuts during the long winter evenings of my childhood. My passion for photography is about documenting and preserving oral culture. The main subjects of my personal work have been unsung heroes of everyday life: everyday people. For many years I worked for CBS News, traveling around the world learning to tell visual stories. Now, based between New York City and the Caribbean, I continue to find stories worth documenting and people worth giving voice to.

Look for "Making your Home a Haven" on Tuesday. (Sorry!)Pin It
A Question of Colour…
How about auburn….but there is no doubt about it (talking to a hairdresser) there is red!So beautiful!
That last picture of him sleeping is just beautiful. Every time I visit here I get more excited to meet our new little one sometime in the upcoming weeks
You never know, my boy was born with dark brown hair too. At about 3 – 4 months it had a reddish tint to it and everyone thought he was going red. But by the time he hit six months, maybe seven months old it was obvious he was going to be a blondie.My daugther was born with black hair (like me) that quickly lightened by four months to a like brown. Now her hair is more of "dirty blonde" color with lighter blonde highlights.I do see the reddish in his hair and have in some of the previous pictures. I think it's fun that your kids have so many diffent hair shades.

Electric potential is scalar, so you just add the incremetnal parts.
V= k INT dq/distance
ok, distance= sqrt(y^2+x^2)
and dq=lambda*x*dx
V=k int lamda x dx /sqrt(y^2+x^2)
V=k*lambda INT x/( ) dx
= k lambda sqrt ( ) over the limits
check all that.
So going on that
V=[(8.98755e9)*(5.2e-9)*sqrt(8.6^2 + x^2)] from 4.9 to 6?

Talking to a ZWave Switch using open-zwave
Z-Wave is a wireless communications protocol designed for home automation, specifically to remotely control applications in residential and light commercial environments. The technology uses a low-power RF radio embedded or retrofitted into electronics devices and systems, such as lighting, home access control, entertainment systems and household appliances.
The are many devices that have these RF chips embedded inside them. In this post you can see an example on how you can program Z-Wave switches using some OpenSource tools. We will use the open-zwave library. You can use it to interface with all available Z-Wave PC controllers. We have the Aeon Labs Z-Stick S2 and a Raspberry Pi.
The open-zwave library is great because it is OpenSource, you can easily build it for Raspberry and use the Raspberry as a hub for your home automation system. In this way with one Raspberry you can remotely control all your Z-Wave enabled devices at home - things like light switches, open/closed sensors, power meters, etc.
The first step is to download and build the open-zwave library on your Raspberry. Great Tutorial for more details. Here is a recap of what you need to do:
sudo apt-get install subversion libudev-dev make build-essential git-core svn checkout http://open-zwave.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ open-zwave-read-only ~/open-zwave-read-only/cpp/build/linux $ make
Then you're ready to build the MinOZW example:
~/open-zwave-read-only/cpp/examples/linux/MinOZW $ make
Check if everything is alright by running the test:
Make sure that the Z-Wave controller is connected to the USB drive of the Raspberry. If everything goes alright the MinOZW example will scan for new Hadrware and generate some debug files that list all discovered devices. Note that the controller can discover a device only if they have previously been paired together. Pairing devices together means that they would belong to the same network.
Now, we're going to write our own test application! We're going to first pair the controller with a Z-Wave Switch. Then in the test application we will turn the switch on and off from the code running on the Raspberry Pi. First after we have paired the devices we have to run the MinOZW executable like we did above and explore the generated zwcfg_0xYOUR_HOMEID.xml config file. It contains detailed information about all the sensors and controllers in the local ZWave network
Digging into the code of the examples/linux/MinOZW/Main.cpp file we can see that it uses the Manager class as the main public interface to OpenZWave.
First you need to say something like:
Manager::Create(); Manager::Get()->AddWatcher( OnNotification, NULL ); Manager::Get()->AddDriver( this->port );
Where port is the device address of your Z-Wave controller - for example: /dev/ttyUSB0
All Z-Wave functionality is accessed via the Manager class. It is a singleton class that exposes all the functionality required to add Z-Wave support to an application. It handles the sending and receiving of Z-Wave messages as well as the configuration of a Z-Wave network and its devices, freeing the library user from the burden of learning the low-level details of the Z-Wave protocol.
There can be only one instance of the Manager class, and all applications will start by calling Manager::Create static method to create that instance. From then on, a call to the Manager::Get static method will return the pointer to the Manager object. On application exit, Manager::Destroy should be called to allow OpenZWave to clean up and delete any other objects it has created.
Manager::Get()->AddWatcher( OnNotification, NULL );
Once the Manager has been created, a call should be made to Manager::AddWatcher to install a notification callback handler. This handler will receive notifications of Z-Wave network changes and updates to device values, and is an essential element of OpenZWave.
Manager::Get()->AddDriver( this->port );
Next, a call should be made to Manager::AddDriver for each Z-Wave controller attached to the PC. Each Driver will handle the sending and receiving of messages for all the devices in its controller's Z-Wave network.
Finally we want to set the value of the Z-Wave Switch. We will do this with the following code:
void SetValue(bool value) { int nodeid = 3; pthread_mutex_lock( &g_criticalSection ); for( list<NodeInfo*>::iterator it = g_nodes.begin(); it != g_nodes.end(); ++it ) { NodeInfo nodeInfo = it; if( nodeInfo->m_nodeId != nodeid ) continue; for( list<ValueID>::iterator it2 = nodeInfo->m_values.begin();
it2 != nodeInfo->m_values.end(); ++it2 ) { ValueID v = *it2; if( v.GetCommandClassId() == 0x25 ) { Manager::Get()->SetValue(v, value); break; } } } pthread_mutex_unlock( &g_criticalSection ); }
You can see the Command Classes Ids here 0x25 is the Id of the COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_BINARY command. Therefore in the if statement we check that we set the value using the Manager class only when GetCommandClassId() is 0x25.
Note the if statement:
if( nodeInfo->m_nodeId != nodeid) continue;
You need to determine the right node id number of the Z-Wave Switch in your Z-Wave network. To do this you can have a look at the zwgcfg file. It would say something like:
<Node id="3" type="Binary Power Switch"> <Manufacturer id="0086" name="Aeon Labs"> <Product type="0003" id="0012" name="Unknown: type=0003, id=0012" /> </Manufacturer> <CommandClasses> <CommandClass id="32" name="COMMAND_CLASS_BASIC" version="1" request_flags="4" mapping="37"> <Instance index="1" /> </CommandClass> <CommandClass id="37" name="COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_BINARY" version="1" request_flags="4"> <Instance index="1" /> <Value type="bool" label="Switch" units="" value="True" /> </CommandClass> </CommandClasses> </Node>
In the next post you will see how we used all of this to create a Z-Wave Switch Driver, build it on the Raspberry Pi and load it into Agilart.

Nif's Grilled Hawaiian Chicken Skewers
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 10 mins
This is a dish that I made up as I went along! It's easy and uses ingredients that most of us have on hand. There is probably enough marinade for twice the amount of chicken. I wasn't going to have a chance to stir the chicken so I wanted to make sure that it covered all of the chicken. I served this over brown basmati rice. The marinating time is not included. ****NOTE: I do not recommend marinating this for more than 2 hours. I find it gets a grainy texture if marinated too long. Enjoy!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch squares
- 2 cups fresh pineapple, cut into 1-inch squares
- 2 cups red peppers, cut into 1-inch squares
- 1⁄2 cup soy sauce
- 1⁄4 cup rice vinegar
- 1⁄4 cup canola oil
- 1⁄4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced (about 4 cloves)
- 2 teaspoons ginger, chopped
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dry mustard
- Mix all marinade ingredients and add chicken. Marinate for 1 to 2 hours, no more.
- If you are using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for 2 hours.
- Heat grill to medium-high.
- Alternate chicken, pineapple and pepper pieces on skewers. Place on grill until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes on each side.

This was very good! I fixed these for my husband for father's day and he loved them. I did not have any ginger off hand so I just left it out and it was awesome!! Cook time was right on too! I am adding this to my summer must have recipes!
We figured out at the last minute that we forgot to get skewers, so we just made it into a stir fry. Still delicious!
Loved these skewers! I marinated them for about an hour using half the marinade called for in the recipe. The only change I made to the recipe was to use a red and green pepper. Made for ZWT7

Uniform Numbers!
is was by far the most requested item to add to the p-f-r pages. We now have uniform numbers for most (not quite all) players since 1950. Jeff Blake, Lorenzo Neal, Vinny Testaverde, and Steve Bono now have much more colorful player pages.
These data were made possible by the research efforts of a group named 24-7 Baseball and the programming of basketball-reference.com's Justin Kubatko. We football fans are very appreciative.
Another small bit of site news: AV is starting to make its way onto the site, most notably at the draft pages and the college pages. Pages like that are essentially AV's raison d'etre. You have a big list of players, possibly from different positions and/or different eras, and you want to quickly sort those players in order of quality. AV isn't perfect, but it's the best single value to sort on if you want to quickly bring the best players up to the top of the page.

OXFORD, Miss. (April 17, 2013)--A man was arrested Wednesday in Mississippi in connection with letters containing suspected ricin poison that were sent to President Barack Obama U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss.
FBI Special Agent in Charge Daniel McMullen said Paul Kevin Curtis, 45, was arrested Wednesday afternoon at his apartment in Corinth, near the Tennessee state line about 100 miles east of Memphis, Tenn.
Authorities were waiting Wednesday night for the results of definitive tests on the letters to Mr. Obama and Wicker, which raised concerns at a time when many people were jittery after the Boston bombings.
An FBI intelligence bulletin that The Associated Press obtained said the two letters were postmarked Memphis, Tenn. and were dated April 8.
Field tests for ricin were positive, but lab tests are required to confirm the presence of the potential deadly poison.
In the bulletin the FBI said the letters both read, "To see a wrong and not expose it, is to become a silent partner to its continuance."
The letters, which were signed, "I am KC and I approve this message," were intercepted at off-site mail facilities.
The FBI said there was no indication of a connection to the bombing at Monday's Boston Marathon.

I was surprised to learn this morning that a Loire Valley winery refused to let two journalists taste their wines at the recent Salon des Vins de Loire trade show. And not just any winery, but the venerable Domaine Huet, widely regarded as one of the world's great wine estates.
Huet has been going through something of a transition since the abrupt resignation of winemaker Noel Pinguet from the domaine in 2012, where he had been in charge of winemaking since 1976. Upon his resignation, Sarah Hwang, daughter of owner Anthony Hwang, who purchased the domaine in 2003, was put in charge.
According to a remarkably even-tempered article by journalist Chris Kissack on his blog The Wine Doctor, he was cornered by Ms. Hwang and given a tongue lashing before being ejected from the winery's booth at the trade show. The reason? He had written less than complimentary reviews of the 2012 wines -- the first vintage, it should be noted, made without Pinguet in almost 4 decades, and not an easy vintage under any circumstance.
Kissack was apparently not alone. Journalist Jim Budd, arguably the world's leading English-language reporter on all things Loire, was also similarly snubbed, again by Ms. Hwang.
Kissack's detailed description of the encounter, as well as his history with the domaine, obviously represents only one side of the story. On its face, it might be regarded as a somewhat curious occurrence, and prompt questions about whether there were some bad blood between the parties, or some extenuating circumstances.
However with another journalist, who also recently wrote critically of the domaine facing the same treatment at the hands of the winery's new leadership, something begins to smell a little fishy.
Here we have two excellent writers, both long-time champions and serious students of Domaine Huet's wines, and quite possible among the best commentators to help us understand what is happening during an incredibly crucial transition at the winery. Yet when they raise doubts about the quality of the latest vintage, they are told they are not welcome.
This is, of course, not the first time wineries have banned journalists from tasting their wines, though I must say it is the first time I have heard of such an attempt at a large public tasting, the premise of which is to make wines available to anyone who wishes to taste.
Robert Parker suffered similar indignities in Bordeaux (famously emphasized in an attack by one Chateau owner's dogs) when his ratings were found to be less than favorable by some producers. But that was more than thirty years ago.
While no less petty, it also somehow seems slightly more plausible that a winery could decline to receive a visiting journalist who requested an appointment at the estate, should there be enough enmity to do so. But to bar someone from tasting your wines in a public setting and to do so with an open castigation about your past criticism of the product?
That's just stupid. And it smacks of the hubris and entitlement that can unfortunately accompany fame and recognition. When wines become known as among the best in the world, sometimes their makers believe that owning and tasting those wines are a privilege for them to bestow on the worthy. Such arrogance often comes with the tendency to believe one's own myth, to the point of blindness.
Ms. Hwang's approach to criticism also seems to display a staggering lack of consciousness of the possible ramifications such actions can have in the age of the Internet. Someone send in the PR swat team.
Can the Hwangs truly believe they are somehow above criticism? Or if not, how could they possibly imagine that they could exert control over the critical reception of their wines by preventing some reviewers from tasting them in a certain setting?
Of course, there's another explanation for this behavior which is no less appalling. Namely that this is as petty and vindictive as it sounds. Just like my five-year-old daughter who comes home from school and tells me that one of her friends is no longer invited to her birthday party because that friend did something she didn't like at recess.
Domaine Huet's actions, as embodied by its director Ms. Hwang are rude, childish, and unprofessional. Not to mention unbecoming of a domaine of its stature. It should apologize to both Kissack and Budd, and work on some humility.

DANNY PLOTNICK FILMS - WARTS & ALL (1986-2008, 104m) July 22th at 7:30pm.
"Plotnick's films are funny and very important." - NY Underground Film Fest.
On Friday, July 22 at 7:30pm (rescheduled from June), Subversive Cinema (212 Pier Ave) in Santa Monica will be presenting Warts and All: The Films of Danny Plotnick. Microcinema DVD released this compilation of Plotnick's films in 2008 that includes 10 of his films, director, cast and crew commentary for all films, over 60 behind the scenes photos, flyers & posters, complete technical specs for all films including fetishistic photos & illustrations of equipment and an 8 page booklet of insights and anecdotes. Danny has produced some of the more well-received underground videos to ever see the light of day. He has put in his due diligence and by all accounts, he is well-respected by his filmmaker peers and the people who view his work. The business of getting shorts out for public consumption is so different from the days when much of his fine early work was filmed, but Danny's vision is a tasteful, imaginative look at the slice of history his early work documents which is well covered in Warts & All.
Danny Plotnick roared into the underground film world in the 1980s. Fueled by his love of punk and alternative culture and infected with d.i.y. spirit, he started making films that captured a similarly snarly attitude. His films were pegged as bawdy, bad-mouthed and beautiful, straddling the line between high-brow and low-brow art. It's no surprise that his work has screened from the MOMA in NYC to mortuaries in Baltimore to the Independent Film Channel to MTV. With little opportunity to screen this type of work in the 80s, Plotnick took to the road, projector and films in trunk, screening in bars, warehouses and cafes. Plotnick trail blazed a path for the underground film world that exploded in the early 90s, a scene that championed his work. Strangely, or not, his 1986 short, Skate Witches, has become an internet sensation in skateboard and trash culture circles. The film has a robust YouTube following, it has been sampled in song, had comics drawn about it and appeared on Red Eye and MTV.
Plotnick received the Grand Prize at the Underground Filmmaker Festival, an award based on his body of work plus a new film Out of Print (2008). Out of Print is a sweet little ode to the counterculture of the 80s and 90s, a time when unearthing quality culture was a real treasure hunt.
Talking to Danny Plotnick
Recently, I had the opportunity to ask Danny a couple questions relative to the underground film festival world, that underappreciated lifestyle that far too often goes unrecognized, and worse, sits unseen by the masses.
Q: I'm really interested in the world of underground film festivals. Are you current on the current state of film festivals (outside of those mainstream ones...)? What are some of your favorite film festivals?
A: I've always been a fan of Chicago Underground. It's an amazing fest and has been one of the underground festival trailblazers for years. I'm not so up to date on the state of festivals. Though strangely, with the advent of the ability to watch films on the internet, the concept of underground might be a bit outdated. Everything is accessible. You don't have to dig as much.
Q: Any particular moment/experience with film festivals that stands out above the others?
A: I was at SXSW one year and did a panel on alternative distribution. My dog and pony show was a pretty big hit and as a result the festival was fun. I had a film screening of HARDCORE LOGO dedicated to me and I didn't even know the filmmaker. As a result I met Tarantino over some enchiladas. That was pretty cool.
Q: How long have you been making films? What is your opinion of the state of local underground film making in Los Angeles? Is it an accessible scene? Any local favorite film makers we may not otherwise hear of?
A: I've been making films since 1986. Not being from LA (ED: He lives in San Francisco...), I'm not so up on the scene these days, but I spent a lot of summers working on the Cal Arts campus, and I will say there are some strong films, both live action and animation, coming out of Cal Arts. Lee Lynch, Lori Damiano, Mike Ott are some of those folks.
Q: What are some of the difficulties with film festivals today? Is there a vision you have of the underground film maker for the current and future times?
A: I guess the question is do you really need festivals anymore. There is a comraderie there. You meet like minded people. It makes you part of a scene. But when I finished Out of Print, within one month of it being on the Current TV website, it had nearly 10,000 hits. It played around 15-20 festivals and I'm sure the number of folks who saw it that universe pales in comparison. So for shorts, festivals are no longer the only game in town.

Using a nationally representative U.S. birth-cohort study, this report examines levels of school readiness among young children by race/ethnicity and nativity. The authors identify the contextual factors — such as family circumstances, parenting practices, and enrollment in center-based child care — that encourage early school success.
This report draws on a six-year longitudinal study of Palm Beach County, FL, examining parenting, child care enrollment, and other factors that encourage early school success. The authors find kindergarten-age children of Black immigrants have significantly higher odds of being ready for school than children of Latina immigrant or Black U.S.-born mothers.
This report focuses on the development of children of Black immigrants in the United States, comparing against the outcomes for their peers in native-born and other immigrant families. It also compares these U.S. children to those in the United Kingdom, where there is a large Black immigrant population but a notably different policy context of reception.
This report analyzes prenatal behaviors and birth outcomes of Black immigrant mothers, and finds that Black immigrant mothers are less likely to give birth to preterm or low-birth-weight infants than U.S.-born Black women, but more likely to experience these birth outcomes than other immigrant and U.S.-born women.
This report examines the role of naturalization as indicator and facilitator of successful integration in the United States. It examines why immigrants decide to naturalize and why many of those eligible to naturalize are unable or choose not to do so.

This question speaks to the "start from the beginning" meaning, but in yesterday's USA Today, there was a headline about Obama and Romney starting from scratch because they were even in a poll. Have you heard it mean to be at a tie?

Per other answers, USA Today's usage here is at the very least "questionable". In a sports context where the scores are equal some way through a match, you could reasonably say "It's as if they're starting from scratch". But in the context of electioneering, the "metaphor" doesn't work well. It gets mixed up with the idea that preceding campaign strategies might be replaced, since the expression start from scratch is...
In this and the related up to scratch (good enough to meet a particular standard), the word "scratch" comes from a boundary or starting point scratched on the ground in a sporting context. Originally it signified having no advantage or handicap (weaker contestants might be allowed to start beyond the scratch as a "head start"), from whence the meaning has shifted to the modern sense highlighted above (effectively, "gaining no advantage from preceding activities/knowledge").
The article doesn't appear to explain what they mean by the headline. As others have noted, the phrase means "start from nothing", but clearly the two men are not starting from nothing now: the article explicitly points out that each has a substantial base and that they are fighting over the undecideds.
After seeing the headline but before reading the article, I thought they were going to say something like, Both men's campaign strategies have proven ineffective, and so they must start over with new ideas or new plans. An argument like that would be consistent with saying that they are starting from scrath. But the article doesn't say anything like that.
In short, I think the headline has nothing to do with the article. It's bad editing.
A "real" start from scratch for a contest is 0-0.
But if it's a tie, say 45-45, the impact of the contest is basically the same as if you were starting from 0-0.
I consider this headline misleading because one person was actually ahead, 47-45 (that is, within the 3-point margin of error). I consider this a "stretch" on both counts, but the paper was using an analogy of "starting from scratch." I call it "journalistic license."
