CINCINNATI – Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley said Friday that if Hamilton County commissioners object to a sales tax increase to help renovate city-owned Union Terminal and Music Hall, he's willing to negotiate a deal to transfer ownership.
"We're the owners of these buildings in name only," Cranley told WCPO. "The leases clearly state that we have no obligation to maintain them."
A Cultural Facilities Task Force comprised of business and community leaders has proposed a $331 million plan to renovate Union Terminal and Music Hall. The plan calls for a quarter-cent increase in the Hamilton County sales tax to fund the bulk of the repairs. Such an increase would raise the rate from 6.75 cents on the dollar to 7 cents on the dollar.

Hamilton County commissioners must decide by Aug. 6 whether to put the so-called "icon tax" on the November ballot.
Commissioner Greg Hartmann said he wouldn't support putting the measure on the ballot to fix both buildings unless city officials make a larger financial contribution to the plan.
The current financing plan includes $10 million that the city previously pledged to help revitalize Music Hall in Over-the-Rhine. Hartmann said he would like to see the city pledge millions more to make repairs to Dalton Street and the expansive plaza outside Union Terminal in Queensgate. Otherwise, he said, he would want to see Music Hall taken out of the proposal.
Cranley said an additional city contribution would amount to "double taxation" since city residents also would pay the increased sales tax when paying for purchases made in Hamilton County.
But Hartmann noted that increasing the sales tax is a matter of the county's taxing authority. If county commissioners pave the way for a quarter-cent increase to help Union Terminal and Music Hall, he said, that would take away the ability to use that taxing authority to finance other county maintenance needs.
"I can't remember the last time the city voted to do anything with their taxing authority to fund a county facility," Hartmann said.
Cranley said he hasn't gotten a detailed presentation of the proposed plan, but he likes the idea of giving voters "a chance to save these buildings."
"And if the county voters want to put some $300 million into these buildings, we're happy to negotiate," he said. "If they want to use the ownership issue to say we (in the city) should somehow pay twice, I'd be open to negotiating county ownership."
Hartmann called such a suggestion "worse than the way we are now." The county's taking ownership of the buildings would make it responsible for them long-term, he said.
"Today, the city at least contributes to their maintenance. That's him playing games," Hartmann said. "If the city wants Music Hall included in this, they'll come to the table."
Hartmann is one of three county commissioners who will decide whether the sales tax proposal makes it onto the November ballot.
Commissioner Todd Portune told WCPO that he continues to study the issue and is trying to come up with a plan that has "the right balance of funding" from various contributors, including the city and private users of the two facilities.
"The sales tax is the final piece of the puzzle but only comes in after we have resolved all of the other issues, maximized contributions from everybody else and minimized the amount of money that's absolutely necessary," Portune said.
If county taxpayers end up contributing the bulk of the funds for the project, he added, the city and county should discuss who would own the buildings after the projects are completed.
Commissioner Chris Monzel was traveling and could not be reached Friday.
Hamilton County commissioners will host public hearings on the proposal before making their decision.
• The first hearing is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. July 23 at Sharonville Convention Center.
• The second hearing is scheduled to start at 11 a.m. July 28 at the County Administration Building downtown.

Should You Use Your Middle Initial On Your Book's Cover?August 11, 2009 by Atilla Vekony, Vice President
Should you use your middle initial on your book's cover?
Don't! Unless ... well, read on:
Let's say your name is Francine Lambert (I just made this up.) All your friends, relatives, and people you come in contact with know you as Francine Lambert. You introduce yourself at events as Francine Lambert. Basically, you are ... Francine Lambert.
You write a self-help book on how to save money in a tough economy and it's time for your publisher to put your name on the cover and into the necessary bibliographic databases. "How would you like your name appear on your book's cover?" the publisher asks.
You've decided you will not use a pen name or pseudonym, which is wise in your case. However, after you blurt out "Francine Lambert" you pause and say, "Actually, make that Francine J. Lambert." You believe your name with a middle initial looks and sounds more authoritative on your book cover. And you're right ... but you're making a big mistake!
As we've seen, people know you as Francine Lambert, not as Francine J. Lambert. When you've pitched your book to an audience or even just to friends, they will go online to look for your book. Instead of looking for the title of your book (which they may have forgotten), they will search on your name. They will search on the name they know and remember, which is Francine Lambert, but all online databases associate your book with the name Francine J. Lambert. Will your book show up on these searches? Yes, but it will not score nearly as well in generic Google search results as it should!
Therefore, don't use your middle initial on your book cover unless you have to.
When should you use your middle initial? I recommend it in two cases:
- You share a name with another author or famous person. Your middle initial will distinguish you and your book from the other author's books. Online bookstore databases sometimes have a hard time distinguishing between two authors by the exact same name. One of our authors, John Lock, actually goes by J. D. Lock.
- You have a very common (i.e., popular) name, like Mary Smith or Paul Brown. I suppose for this reason Michael W. Smith doesn't perform under the name Mike Smith. And that is the reason why someone known to all his friends as David Scott publishes under his full name, David Meerman Scott. You can get away with it, mind you, just ask Will Smith!
Nobody who saw the interview will know that the author of the book by "Jack Jones" is actually "John Q. Jones". Fortunately, the book has a very unique and memorable title.
For book marketing purposes, you shouldn't use your middle initial or full legal name on your book's cover. If you do, then it's best for your book if you start calling yourself that way!

In the new year, I resolve to take better care of my skin. I'm not getting any younger, and those little clean wipes, while they're great for a late night or insane exhaustion, really don't clean my face the way I know it deserves. I'm seeing little lines, a ruddy complexion and other factors that could benefit from an extra fresh face and really clean pores. So, after some research and a recent Facebook poll (more than 50 of you weighed in; thanks!!), here are TAGG's top picks for the best facial cleansers.
Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Gel // Murad Clarifying Cleanser // Cetaphil // Fresh Soy Face Cleanser
Philosophy Purity // Clinique Liquid Facial Soap // Neutrogena Oil-Free Wash in Pink Grapefruit

All this talk about Cetaphil, yet I have never tried it. I have oily skin so maybe this is a good option!
Nice products! Use the body shop tea tree and ponds dry skin moisture cream. Age and horones really does take a number on my skin as well. Not to mention eating the wrong things.
KalleyC from Blogging While Nursing
I always hear good things about Cetaphil. It's only like $6.99 I'm gonna try it!
the older i get, the more my acne is taking a toll on my face. pimples leaving scars and getting more pimples on top, I feel like my face needs a lot more TLC than I'm giving it, since all I do is attack it with more products that dry it out.
I use both Cetaphil & Murad. Great products!
Love that we both had beauty on the brain today – that Cetaphil cleanser is the best!

Ambassador to the United States Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz held a press conference today organized by the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, Medford, Massachusetts. Prince Bandar stressed the strength of bilateral relations between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United States of America and their current cooperation in matters of mutual interest, notably the global war on terrorism. He referred to the Kingdom's efforts in combating terrorism, affirming the Kingdom's pride of and full commitment to Islam, which renounces terrorism, extremism and violence and calls for cordiality, peace, moderation and respect for other religions.
In answer to a question on the Madrid Conference of Donors to Iraq, Prince Bandar pointed out that Saudi Arabia has already, in a number of ways, been helping the Iraqi people, who have for the past thirty years suffered under the unjust regime of Saddam Hussein. Particularly since the end of military action, the Kingdom has been providing health care, water and food to Iraqi villages in coordination with international organizations. As for sending Saudi forces to keep security and stability in Iraq, he said, Saudi Arabia thinks it best that Iraq's closest neighbors do not do this, taking into consideration the sensitivity of the issue and the risk of polarizing Iraqi forces. He added that in any case the Kingdom maintains a policy rejecting any form of interference in the internal affairs of other countries.
Prince Bandar strongly denied press reports of an agreement between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan for nuclear technology exchange for oil, reiterating the Kingdom's strong stance that the Middle East region be free of all weapons of mass destruction, and that any country that possesses them should immediately renounce them, citing Israel.
On the Palestinian issue, Prince Bandar commented that this has always been a concern of the Kingdom, and asserted that Saudi Arabia is doing everything it can to halt the current deterioration of the peace negotiations. He reiterated the Kingdom's position that that there will be no Palestinian state without peace for Israel and there will be no peace for Israel until the Palestinians achieve their legitimate rights: a free sovereign state with Al-Quds [East Jerusalem] as its capital. He stressed the need for the United States to intervene to stop Israel's current violence against the Palestinian people, and allow the attainment of a comprehensive and just peace to achieve stability in the entire region.

Pointers are used to manipulate data using the address. Pointers use * operator to access the data pointed to by them

Arrays use subscripted variables to access and manipulate data.Array variables can be equivalently written using pointer expression.
DIFF BETWEEN ARRAY AND POINTER
Pointers are used to manipulate data using the address. Pointers use * operator to access the data pointed to by them

?Arrays use subscripted variables to access and manipulate data.Array variables can be equivalently written using pointer expression.
? CoolInterview.com

Pointers are used to manipulate data by using address or they are address variable used to store address.Pointers use * operator to access data.
Array are used to store data of same data type and they are denoted or stored by same name.They use continuous memory allocation and use subscripted variables.Eg int A[50]
'A' is name of array which can store 50 data of integer type and denoted by A[0]A[1]...A[49].
pointer are stored a memory location of any other variable.
and array is a group memory cells.which stored a data per cell.
Difference between Array and Pointer -

Array:

int ar[10] - Arrays are fixed size and address that 'ar' holds can not be changed it is fixed throughout the scope.

Pointer:

int *P = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int)*10);

above statement will alocate an memory of type integer and data holding capacity is 10.

free(p); // free allocted memory.

p = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int)*20);

now here we are changing 'size as well as value of 'p' that is address hold by 'p' as weell.

Pointers provide flexible way to deal with run time allocations.

Also you can perform '++' operation on pointer ( p++ ) but you can not perform '++' operation on Arrays. ( ar++ ia an error! ).

array s are constant pointers, the address of starting element would be stored in name of array. whose position cannot be changed

ordinary pointer contains address of any element and the address what it has can be changed
Arrays are call to the pointers by using the symbol ->(arrow).
 pointers are used * operatur to access the data &also pointed to the address.
?Pointers are used to manipulate data using the address. Pointers use * operator to access the data pointed to by them

?Arrays use subscripted variables to access and manipulate data.Array variables can be equivalently written using pointer expression.

DIFF BETWEEN ARRAY AND POINTER
Pointers are used to manipulate data using the address. Pointers use * operator to access the data pointed to by them

?Arrays use subscripted variables to access and manipulate data.Array variables can be equivalently written using pointer expression.

Pointers are used to manipulate date using thir address location which gives high speed process of performance level.

Array is collection of data elements represent as sequancial order. if you using pointer traverse the array with minimal changes of address location bacause of subsequent address of data stored
Arrays-Array is a set of Similar data types, It is collection of similar Elements Stored In Contigous form In memory And Each element has Some adress.
Pointers - Pointers are Basically Used to acess To the adress OF the Elements Stored In Memory. It is also Used to acess to the element in the array as well as adress of the element in that array.
Pointer is a variable that store adress of other variable.
Array is a subscripted variable that store similar type of data set.
Pointer can point to different memory location where array contains contigious memory.
pointer is use to access the data with its address. and
array is the collection of similar data for access and manipulate.
Actually Pointers are used to manipulate data using the address. Pointers use * operator to access the data pointed to by them

Arrays are used to manipulate multiple values of same kind of data without declaring and assigning them individually. The important point to be noted is that while programming, pointer indirections can be achieved by array notations and vice-versa. For example, class[60] is exactly equivalent to *(class+60). This may lead some beginner programmrs to think that pointers and arrays are euivalent, but they are equivalent only to the parser, the programmer need not be concerned about whether they are equivalent or not.
By-default the array variablr is const pointer.

int arr[10];

where arr is const pointer (i.e. always pointing to fixed address)

While a pointer can point to any address of it's type.
Arrays just like normal variables only. They can be effected directly as we modify variables.
But pointers are can be modified by modifying their address only
ARRAY is a collection of similar data types.
Elements of an array occupy adjacent memory location in RAM.
For Eg..
int a[5];
An integer type array that can store 5 elements is created.

A POINTER is a special kind of variable that stores the address of other variabes.
It is denoted by *
For eg.. *ptr
An array is a structer that can store several elements sequantialy in memory.Array index number start with 0.
Pointer is store memory address of another variable.Pointer is declared with * operator.
arrays:
1.array is a constant pointer,which is having base address.
2.we will use subcripts to access the
 array variables
pointer:
1. pointer is variable address.
2. pointer use indirection operator
 to access array elements

Array is a constant pointer.
we con't change base address of array.
In case of passing parameter to the function, pointer holds the address of orginal array and changes will be donein same array.

 but passing array parameter needs a another copy of same size array at calling function and it will not reflect the change to the original array. .
A pointer is an address in memory where a variable is located.

An array is a conceptual data representation consisting of a list of more than one item of a particular scalar type (int, float, char, structure, etc.) where each element is accessed by its index. The index can be thought of as a counter or enumerator telling you how many elements you have to skip over to get to the one you're interested in. Here's where addresses come in ... the location of a particular element in memory is offset from the so-called base address (i.e. the address of the starting element) by the value

(sizeof(one element) * index #)

The C compiler is smart enough to take the sizeof() into account when you do pointer arithmetic, so you can find the address of the i-th element as (address of base) + i, rather than having to do the multiplication explicitly.

The idea of element address as offset also accounts for C's use of zero-relative array definitions. Since the first element is offset by 0 positions from the first element its index in C is 0, not 1. The second (ordinal) element is offset from the first by 1 position so its index is 1, and so on
pointers are used to point to storage indirectly through * operator.
arrays are used for contiguous storage of data which can be accessed by the starting address of the array.
compiler also treats array data using pointers. for ex: if 'a' is an array with subscript 'i' , then ith element is treated as *(a+i) by compiler.
An array ar[15][23]is stored inmemory along the column with each of element occupying 8byte. find oyt the base adress and the adress of an element arr[23]21],if the location arr[12]23]is stored at the adress4000.
Array is a collection of same data type.

Pointer is used to refer the address.pointer value refered by &.

Arrays are basically pointers BUT the difference is that arrays are constant pointers and so we cannot do pointer arithmatic with arrays as we do with other pointers.

ie; ArrName++ or ArrName-- is not possible in the case of arrays while it is possible for pointers
In actual there is no difference between arrays and pointers.
It is only that they are different in manners they are declared and accesed by the programmer.
for example
int a[3]= {
 1,
 2,
 3
 }
This is same as int *p;
 *p = 1;
 *(p+1) = 2;
 *(p+2) = 3;

If you want to print 2
for the 1st case write
printf("%d",a[1]);
for the 2nd case write
printf("%d",*(p+1));
Pointer is used to store address of a variable(Variable contains the value).Pointer is denoted by * before a variable.
Where as Array is a collection of variable of similar type and it may be of differnt dimentions example array of 1 dimention = ar[],array of 2dimention[][] and so on.
The array size depends on the datatype and on the subscipt value.
Array representation is very easy to understand

Pointer is always of constant 2 bytes irrespective of the datatype it is pointing to........
Pointers occcupy less memory space...
The main diff. w/b array and pointer.
 array is a simler collection of number or char. while pointer is a variabile whish point the memory of the variabile.
In Array, each Time, The comiler allocates the memory To maximum Elements or to full size of the array. Suppose If User wants To Use only 5 elements at a time From 20 elements of declared Size of the array. It wastes 15 allocated Location in the Memory,,,,, Pointers Remove This disadvantage , With Malloc, n calloc, Pointers Allocates The desired Memory To the variable or Elements of the array,,
Pointer is a variable capable of storing address of another variable.

Array is a data type which is used to store group of variable of same type
ARRY : Arry is the collection of similar data types.
POINTER : Pointer is the variable which stores the value of another varible
POINTER : pointer is a variable dat is used to store an address of any variable in order to call it by adderss.
ARRAY: array is a datastructure havin similar datatypes

NOTE:The name of any array is a pointer.
array is group of collection of data of same type

pointer is to store the reference of another variable
pointers are nothing but a memory location which points the desired variable.
Array is a contiguas memory location having same data type.
pointer: it is an address of a variable

array:it is a continuous memory location where similar type of data is stored
Pointer is a variable capable of storing address of another variable.

Array is a data type which is used to store group of variable of same type

Pointer is a variable, which stores Address of Another variable. And * operator is used to assess the data within it.

Whereas Array is group of variables having consecutive allocation of memory ended with NULL of similar data type.
ARRAY:It is a collection of all data items which can be stored at same location.
pointer: pointer is a variable which stores the address of another variable.
array:array is a collection of data items which can be stored at same location.
pointer:pointer is a variable which stores the address of another variable.
ARRAY:array works as a contaner that contains the variable of same type.
POINTERT:It also work as a container that contains the address of another variable.
array and pointers both are used to store but one stores data and the other stores address
also its easy to get or delete or search information if we use pointers but in arrays its very difficult and time consuming
ARRAY:array is a collection of homogeneous data elemens.which are stored in buffer memory location.
POINTER:pointer is a variable which holds the address of another variable.it is easy to access the variable addrress and content in our program.
pointer:- it is store the variable address to assign by astrick symbol.
array:- data store simultenously in a similar datatype.
ARRAY IS THE COLLECTION OF SIMLER TYPE OF DATA ITEN
POINTER IS A VARIBALE WICH HOLD THE ADDRES OF ANOTHER VARIBALE
Pointer: Pointer is the variable that stores the address of the another variable..
Array: Array is used to store the number of values under a same name..
Arrays: Fixed size length ( compile time)
Pointers: Variable size ( run time)
ARRAY:array works as a contaner that contains the variable of same type.

POINTERT:It also work as a container that contains the address of another variable.
Pointer is used to hold the adress of another variable.Through this address we con print the value of the variable whose address is taken by Pointer through pointer variable.
While array is used to store the values of same data type in index form starting from zero because compiler consider it as positive integer
array:is collection of similar datatypes.
pointer:is a address memory varible.
the difference between array and pointer is the array is collection of similar datatypes,pointer is a addres memory variable.
pointers can be allocate the memory at run time i.e the size of the variable can be allocate at run time but arrays didnt done that.
Pointer: Pointer is a variable,which can be store an address of same datatype variable.

Array: Array is a collection of same datatype variables.It is taken the memory as sequential.
Pointer or Array name, both store memory address of other location. Array name and Pointer vsrible names can be interchangably used for each other. Only difference is Ptr++ is a valid statement but arr++ is not. In other words, array name is compiler se pointer and can not be moved with arr++. While user declared pointer can be moved Ptr++.
array's decompose into pointers..
An array is nothing but a implicit pointer.
 int a[5]; the compiler converts this as int *const a; As the address can not be altered.
int b[3] , then a=b ; not posible, Mr Denise Ritche made it so there is no memory leak.
Pointer is a variable which holds the address of another variable where as An ARRAY is a set of similar data items stored simultaneously.
Pointer is use to access the data with its address. and array is the collection of similar data for access and manipulate.
array is collection of hemogenius datatypes but pointer is a memory variable used to access the address of the another variable.through pointer we can access the values of the variale.
declaration of an array:
datatype variablename[size];
pointer declaration:
datatype *pointer variable name;
*-represents the dereferencing operator
pointer is used to address of the memory location.syntax:datatype *pointer variable;
array is a homogenous datatype.syntax:datatype variable<row size><column size>
pointers are used to poinnt to th eaddress of another variable.but in array we can store more elements using same array name.
for eg:student[10].int this u can store 10 students using one array name student.
Pointers are basically address variables...which can be assigned memory dynamically through malloc and calloc to store any data....while array is a statically allocated memory space in a contigeous format of group of identical data-members..
POINTERS:
 *POINTER IS THE VARIABLE IT HOLDS THE ADDRESS OF ANOTHER VARIABLE
 *ARRAY HAVING THE COLLECTION OF SIMILAR DATA TYPE.
 *WE DIDN'T PASS THE ARRAY AS ARGUMENT.
 * BUT WE CAN PASS THE POINTER AS ARGUMENT.
array is an implicit pointer.which stores the address of first value in the array.this follows contiguous memory allocation. where as pointer also stores the address of the another variable.nested pointers also exist.
array is continuous allocation of similar data types...you cannot change allocation address in an array
where a *(pointer) stands for value at address.
int *a means value at the address a is of type integer.
array:array is a collection of same data type.
pointer:it can store an address of same data type variable
pointer is a variable that holds the address of another variable. array is a coolection of elements
ARRAY:-
Array is the collection of similar type of data.It's syntax is
 data type varibl name[];
POINTER:-
It's holds the address of another variable.It's syntax is
 *p.

basically pointer is used to create dynamically memory allocation so its really help from wetage of memory.where as array is fixed size of memory allocation so it may some time waste memory so this is major differece between array & pointer
Arrays are just the collection of similar items and pointers are the address to the functions
Pointer is an variable which stores the address of another variable
An array is a collection of similar data types it stores in contiguios memory location...
pointers is an adress in memory where the varible is located.
Arrays is stored conitnuos memory allocation and used subscripted variables.
array is a collection of similar data types. pointer is a container contains the address of another variable. the concept is different allocating memory.
(1)pointer can be increment and decrement but the array can not be incremeted and decremented.
(2)array can not be pass by value whenever the array are always pass by referance
The most important thing is that, even compiler compiler manipulate arrays in pointer forms only. Array is a constant pointer and address can't be chnaged once declared, while pointer can be re-assigned any number of times. Arrays are easy to use and manipulate, while pointers are tough to use if you are familiar with them. Array doesn't take any additional memory space while pointer takes. Post/pre increment/decrement is possible for pointer while not in arrays.
Pointers are variables stored in non-linear manner whereas array is a data structure in which elements are stored in linear manner.
1.array is a collection of similar data type.
2.Array has fixed size.
3. Pointer holds the address of any type variable.
we can point an array by ponier variable
Pointers are used to manipulate data by using address or they are address variable used to store address.Pointers use * operator to access data.1)pointer can be increment and decrement but the array can not be incremeted and decremented.Pointers are variables stored in non-linear manner whereas array is a data structure in which elements are stored in linear manner.

AISI 1018 carbon steel is a free machining grade that is the most commonly available grade around the world. Although its mechanical properties are not very unique, it still can be easily formed, machined, welded and fabricated.
The following sections will discuss in detail about AISI 1018 carbon steel.
The chemical composition of AISI 1018 carbon steel is outlined in the following table.
The physical properties of AISI 1018 carbon steel are tabulated below.
The following table shows mechanical properties of cold drawn AISI 1018 carbon steel.
The thermal properties of AISI 1018 carbon steel are given in the following table.
Other designations that are equivalent to AISI 1018 carbon steel include the following.
AISI 1018 carbon steel is rated at 62% of AISI 1112 carbon steel. Machining provides this alloy with a fine finish, with continuous and hard chips. It is possible to machine this alloy in all conditions.
It is easy to form AISI 1018 carbon steel in the annealed condition.
AISI 1018 carbon steel can be welded using most of the conventional methods such as gas, oxyacetylene, resistance, and submerged melt welding.
AISI 1018 carbon steel can be case hardened to Rc 42, but only in thin sections. In case of thicker sections of over 4 in., Rc 28-30 can be obtained.
Forging of AISI 1018 carbon steel can take place in the range of 996-1260°C (1825-2300°F).
AISI 1018 carbon steel can be easily hot worked.
Cold working AISI 1018 carbon steel will affect the hardness and mechanical properties. Intermediate annealing has to be performed to overcome the alloy's tendency to work harden.
Complete annealing of this alloy can be achieved by soaking at 899°C (1650°F) followed by furnace cooling. Process annealing can be done at 649°C (1200°F).
AISI 1018 carbon steel is commonly used in high volume screw machine parts applications. The other applications of this alloy are as follows:

Paper Crain
As the photo in this blog post indicates, there is a lot of head-scratching going on right now on the Twins' current road trip. Last night, the Twins (again) could not muster any offense, yet the pitching kept the game within reach until the final inning.
The A's got on the board first in the fourth inning by grounding into a double play to score a run, but the Twins came back in the sixth with a Justin Morneau sacrifice fly to knot the score at one.
As has been so common throughout this road trip, however, the A's came right back with a run of their own in the bottom of the sixth. Fortunately, Nick Punto's clutch single scored Delmon Young in the seventh for another (2-2) tie.
As the Twins were barely scraping enough runs across the plate to get by, the pitchers were doing an excellent job of styming the A's. Starter Blackburn allowed two earned runs in five and two third innings, while both Reyes and Bonser pitching scoreless innings of their own.
In the bottom of the ninth, however, it all came crashing down. Craig Breslow came in from the pen to begin the inning, promptly gave up a single, then left after a successful sacrifice. Crain was then brought into the game and, after issuing a walk, threw a meatball to Kurt Suzuki that Ichiro's namesake hit to deep left center to score the game-winning run.
-Basically, everything that COULD go wrong DID go wrong last night. The offense couldn't generate any production, the starting pitching didn't last long enough to give the bullpen a fair shake, and Crain again folded in a pressure situation. Only the defense was sparkling, with Alexi Casilla turning in a #1 Web Gem with his glove-flip to Nick Punto to start a double play.
-Also, I realize that I have really been ripping on Crain a lot throughout the relatively short life of this blog, so I would like to take a moment to explain exactly why I think he is the most overrated pitcher in the Twins' bullpen. There really are two things that I dislike about Crain: First, he often struggles with his control, being unable to hit his spots. Second, as a result of that shoddy control, he often turns to just throwing the ball right over the plate in order to get strikes. Now, if he had any movement on his ball whatsoever (like, say, Joe Nathan), he could get away with this, but most of the time the ball comes in on a line and the batters cream it. Sure, he can throw in the mid-90s velocity, but with that straight ball the higher velocity only means that the ball will be hit harder when the batter connects (which is becoming more and more frequent these days).
-Rant on Crain aside, the offense lost the game last night. Too many 1-2-3 innings where the Oakland starting pitcher hardly had to work at all, unlike the A's offense, which battled Blackie tooth and nail seemingly every at-bat.
Preview (75-59, 2nd, 1.5 GB CWS): Kevin Slowey (10-8, 3.74) vs. Dan Meyer (0-2, 5.95). Despite his southpaw status, Meyer should be prone to allowing some runs IF the Twins can capitalize on him. Slowey, like Perkins, has been giving us quality starts lately.

Memes started out as the secret handshake of the Internet -- a way to let your peers know that you too were up-to-date on the latest cat macros and misspelled quotes from Japanese video games. But now the Internet has changed, and memes aren't what they once were. Cracked Editors Jack O'Brien, Soren Bowie and Cody Johnston explain how our tubes got clogged with memes, leading to planking, Tebowing and all sorts of other "memes" that spread purely because people wanted to see their faces on the news.
We like to think of memes as one way people change the face of the Internet, but some memes change people. No one felt like "information wants to be free" until the Internet made it possible. Human language itself may have kicked off as a meme, the "I Can Has Cheeseburger" of prehistoric times.

Austin Kincaid is a one-of-a-kind porn star. With her huge tits and beautiful brown eyes, this girl-next-door has been a part of the Reality Kings family since 2006 and has starred in over 6 videos. Be sure to check out her MILF Hunter video, it really is a classic!
Date: Monday, November 3, 2008
Kinzie did not know what else to do. Her husband refused to sign off on their divorce papers. It got to the point that she called a meeting with the two of them and their lawyer Austin. After a bitter exchange, Kinzie and her husband blew up and he stormed out. Austin knew exactly what to do. She told Kinzie to not worry about it. She would make it happen. So she shows up at his home with hopes of convincing him to sign the papers. Some titty flashing and a cock grab later and we were in business. Mr. Noreaga wasted no time in eating her tight shaved pussy and licking her ass. Intense blowjob and titty fucking action followed by some awesome sex action. Mid way, Austin takes out the papers and tells him to sign off or he will not get off. Needless to say, it got pretty nuts. Tune in to see what happens on the next episode of Big Tits Boss. Enjoy.

Austin and Samantha were out to lunch discussing their marital issues over some wine. After some tear jerking revelations, Samantha offered Austin some comfort back at her place. Fast forward and the true intentions came out. It all started with a kiss. Then the floodgates opened and we got to see some great pussy licking and mutual titty sucking. When the toys came out, it really got serious. Double sided dildos and vibrators were the modus operandi. Amazing. Enjoy.

Date: Monday, March 3, 2008
Austin is a phone sex operator MILFhunter met a while back. She must have been getting bored or something cuz she gave the Hunter a call. A booty call to be in fact. Her hubby wasnt home so Hunter was there in under 30 minutes. Just like a pizza delivery man 30 minutes or less or its free. In this case Austin provided the pie and Sean ate all up. She had some huge boobs too. She had a fucking smoking body. I always thought phone sex operators were ugly horny chicks. But Austin tears that theory to pieces.

Another big night in LA with our finest ladies we all love to see get freaky. They danced till their clothes fell off. Our wild ladies actually took there clothes off because of the heat they turned on. Josh went through the ladies flirting and grabbing to see which ladies wanted it the most. Savanah and her friend were live on the spot. They were hot and dressed to kill. We all went back to our after party spot to get even wilder. These two hotties went at it like no other. They sucked and fingered each other while Josh did what any man would have done. This was an action packed night and ended with sugar coated ladies with big tits and smiles.

I was having some issues, so I went to see the shrink. Problem is, this headshrinker made my head bigger. See, I was having dreams of big, firm tits and wet, pink pussy and Austin was my dream in the flesh. No sooner had I started telling her about the nightmares, than she had those giant boobs in my face. It was all over. My cock ended up between her tits, in her mouth, pussy and anywhere else she let me put it.

YEEEE HAAA Howdy yall. It is a dang good ol party at the el raunchy ranch. Our cowgirls were roped in from all over the place to give the cowboys a rooting tooting good ol time. They were topless in no time when the big guns came out blazing. This party covered all aspects of a wild west orgy. Some of our ladies want to ride the bull and some wanted to ride the cowboy.

This party was great. There was more tits and ass then usuall. Our VIP ladies sure know how to party and do it half naked. There were nice up skirt shots and a little game of limbo with a pair of panties. Austin with her Texas size titties went all night with Josh. Her sexy body was a party of its own, and Josh came all over it.

Megan McDowell hurled a no-hitter last week.
Cheney High's softball team played perhaps their best overall game last Tuesday in a 10-0 win over visiting Clarkston.
Megan McDowell hurled a no-hitter against the Bantams, allowing just three walks while striking out six. Head coach Gary Blake said the sophomore demonstrated good control of her pitches, throwing 68 percent first pitch strikes and was pretty much always ahead in the count.
"It makes your pitches all that more effective," Blake said.
Offensively the Lady Hawks got all they needed in a five-run second inning, scoring on RBI singles from Katie Bethel, Bailey Towey and A...

The Peggy Colvin Baseball Center for Excellence is the state-of-the-art clubhouse utilized by the UIC baseball program.
A 4,690-square-foot structure located on the lower level of the Physical Education Building and just steps away from Les Miller Field, the Peggy Colvin Baseball Center contains a spacious players locker room with a stereo system and a pair of huge plasma flat-screen televisions with DIRECTV access, a video lounge, four coaches offices, locker rooms for coaches and umpires, shower facilities, a study center with desktop computers, a Wall of Fame, an equipment room and much, much more.
The Peggy Colvin Baseball Center for Excellence was opened in January of 2007 and officially dedicated in a private ceremony on April 19, 2007. Pat Colvin made the lead gift and named the center after his wife, Peggy. The initial lead gift was made by Mike DiVittorio, who honored his late sister, who served as a teacher, by naming the clubhouse's study lab the Margaret "Peggy" Cebulski Study Center. Other lead donors include Jim Puplava, who had his gift recognized with the creation of the UIC Baseball Wall of Fame that visually honors former baseball student-athletes in the UIC Athletics Hall of Fame; and Curtis Granderson, the former UIC standout and current New York Yankees star centerfielder whose gift helped fund the Curtis Granderson Video Lounge in the northeast corner of the center.
From the entrance and outer walls of the clubhouse, which features a floor painted like a baseball field and giant photos adorning the hallway that represent the spirit of UIC baseball, to the simple elegance and superb craftmanship of the offices and lockers, the Peggy Colvin Baseball Center for Excellence proudly represents the class and winning attitude of the UIC baseball program.

"Dancing With the Stars" welcomed its youngest celebrity contestant ever on Monday night and she ended up with the highest score. Disney Channel star 16 year old Zendaya Coleman performed a contemporary dance with her partner Val Chmerkovskiy. The pair earned an "8" from all three judges giving the 24 out of a possible 30 points. The judges raved about the "Shake It Up" star calling her performance "amazing." Following her impressive performance, Zendaya took to Twitter saying, "What an amazing night, I'm so humbled and grateful for this experience."
Zendaya has some experience with dance, although not in ballroom dancing. The Disney star is known for her hip hop style which she admits has her hunched over to show "swag." She was able to put that away for the season premiere of "Dancing With the Stars Season 16" where her posture and performance were near-perfect.
Zendaya topped the leader-board out of the gate. She beat out country star Kellie Pickler, Aly Raisman, and Dorothy Hamill who all earned 21 points. Soap stud Ingo Rademacher and Ravens star Jacoby Jones were tied for third with 20 points each.
Comedian D.L. Hughley and his partner Cheryl Burke had the low score earning just 12 out of 30 points.
Each pair will perform one more dance next Monday before the first person is sent home on the March 26 "Dancing With the Stars Results Show."

Previously I was working with Server 2003 and managed to lock myself out of the server (I was accessing it remotely) by enabling the firewall.
I want to remotely enable the firewall on Server 2008 without locking myself out of the server (access via RDP) and then selectively add IP addresses to the firewall to exclude. i.e. block specific IP addresses.
Are there any step by step instructions on how to safely do this?

What a great day! Well, to be honest this morning as a cold front was pushing through it was overcast with even some light sprinkles before noontime to the south. After that, the clouds pushed out and we were left with a sun-filled afternoon as the high at Philly International reached 56 degrees! Granted the average high is now 51, but after having a harsh winter of below average temperatures this felt good today!
Overnight we'll have a few clouds as a short wave pushes through; we stay dry with lows in the middle and upper 30s. Tuesday will feature a mixture of sunshine and clouds with another piece of energy moving through, but highs will make a run toward the lower 60s! If that's not good enough with you how about close to 70 on Wednesday? With thunderstorms possible! Yes, it's true! It's ahead of a potent low pressure area with plenty of moisture for the late afternoon and evening...AND on the back end once colder air filters through we may see some wet snowflakes early Thursday morning with little or now accumulation with temperatures settling into the 30s by the afternoon.
So we'll go from Summer back to Winter in less than 24 hours....yikes!
You can check out the rest of the 7-day forecast(any time) at www.scottderekwx.com/forecast.html.

"Women are the backbone of African communities – they are farmers, they are business people, they are care givers"
Fmr. President Joyce Banda, Malawi
Why CARMMA?
One in thirty African women risks dying in childbirth, while thousands more suffer all their lives from the damaging physical and mental side-effects of giving birth. This does not have to happen - Africa has the technology and know-how to save the lives of women.
As AU Commissioner Bience Gawanas reminded us: we "don't have to wait for someone to come and solve our problems."
Despite myriads of global, regional and national efforts and reaffirmation of commitments towards the issue, maternal, newborn and child mortality remains a silent emergency that has not stopped crying out for help. Globally, there are 358,000 maternal deaths a year, with Africa accounting for more than half of them at 53%. The very high rate of maternal mortality and morbidity is a challenge that must be tackled individually and collectively.
In May 2009 the African Union launched the Campaign on Accelerated Reduction of Maternal Mortality in Africa (CARMMA) to trigger concerted and increased action towards improving maternal and newborn health and survival across the continent. As such, CARMMA is not a new initiative; rather, it is derived from the key priority areas enshrined in the AU Policy Framework for the promotion of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in Africa (2005) and the Maputo Plan of Action (2006).
The main objective of CARMMA is to expand the availability and use of universally accessible quality health services, including those related to sexual and reproductive health that are critical for the reduction of maternal mortality. The focus is not to develop new strategies and plans, but to ensure coordination and effective implementation of existing ones. CARMMA aims to renew and strengthen efforts to save the lives of women who should not have to die while giving life. CARMMA believes in ensuring accountability: every single loss of a mother's or child's life should be reported.
Activities of the campaign include mobilizing the necessary political will to make the lives of women count, coordinating and harmonizing interventions around country-led plans/roadmaps and supporting ongoing efforts and initiatives to improve maternal, newborn and child health.
Africa Cares: No woman should die while giving life!
"The MDGs cannot be achieved without a substantial reduction in maternal, infant and child mortality... We need to increase our efforts in order to turn these decisions into action and to make our aspirations become a reality."
Adv. Bience P. Gawanas, Former AU Commissioner for Social Affairs

Hold me, softly
Tight against you,
Close enough,
To hear your heartbeat.
Let me bury my head,
In your chest.
To dissemble my horrible,
Sorrowful tears.
Just run your fingers,
Through my hair.
And whisper sweet nothing's,
Into my ear.
I just want you to be there,
And hold me,
When everything in the world,
Falls apart.

Isuzu Impulse
There was a time when the Isuzu Impulse was the height of fashion. When Giorgetto Giugiaro unveiled his Ace of Clubs show car in 1979, its futuristic styling drew rave reviews. When it debuted virtually unchanged as a road car in the early 1980s (named Piazza elsewhere in the world), it was a revelation.
In an angular automotive world, the Impulse had dramatic, swoopy styling, with the gentle curves, long, low hood, and smooth hatchback that would come to define sports coupes in the 1980s. On streets populated with Impalas, Fairmonts, and Gran Furys, the Impulse looked like a rocket ship.
Nearly 30 years down the line, it may be difficult to understand the fuss. Decades of me-too competitors have diluted the impact, and Impulses are now old enough that many of them are rusty and dented. It might be difficult to see that Isuzu with the faded and peeling paint as a revolutionary design.
To me, at least, it's a tragedy to see an Impulse's delicate lines sullied by ruined by fading paint, rust, or accident damage. The Impulse wasn't made in huge numbers compared to its competitors, but neither was it ever truly rare. That lack of rarity, combined with its low-prestige nameplate, means that most Impulses have been mistreated like any other disposable 1980s car.
Under the skin, the Impulse was nothing particularly special, although a turbo made an appearance later in the production cycle. Interestingly enough, and unlike some of its competition, the Impulse was a rear-wheel-drive car.
In its later years, the Impulse would capitalize on Isuzu's relationship with GM to leverage some suspension and chassis tuning from then- GM-affiliate Lotus--this helped make the Impulse an athlete as well as a beauty.
The Impulse is virtually unremembered today, and I think that's a shame. The Impulse was never a great car, but it was a good one, and it broke genuinely new stylistic ground. At the very least, it doesn't deserve its place in the dustbin of history.
Speaking of the dustbin of history, I'm also saddened by the recent news that Isuzu will be leaving the U.S. passenger car and light truck market completely in early 2009. The company recently had only offered rebadged GM trucks, and even in its heyday of the 1980s was never really more than a niche player, but it's always sad to lose another automaker from this market.
Along with the Impulse, Isuzu's other great contribution to American culture was the frequently hilarious string of Joe Isuzu commercials, which were early adopters of humor and self-parody in advertising. Below is the Joe Isuzu Impulse ad, followed by Joe Isuzu's comeback in the 1990s. As advertising goes, it's comedy gold--and, unlike many of the commercials I share in this space, the humor is intentional. I love when he drives right through the cones.
The burgundy '86 Impulse belongs to Bill Luton, and the red '89 Impulse Turbo (with the Lotus suspension tweaks!) belongs to Victor Dumeg. Somehow the the Starfleet Academy sticker on the back of Dumeg's Impulse fits nicely. I found both cars at IsuzuPerformance.com, the existence of which makes it look as if there are still a few Impulse loyalists carrying the torch.

Our pastor gave us a pleasant surprise this morning. During his announcements, he announced the formation of a new small group in our congregation. Someone had come to the pastor and asked if he could form a Pistol Ministry, and the pastor and the Church Board approved. How kewl is that?
The pastor indicated there has already been a considerable response from both male and female members of our church. I am really looking forward to this and the first signees seem to be the pastor and the assistant pastor.
What with all the encounters being related in the news, it is good to see our church taking an active interest in seeing to the protection, safety and education of our congregation and any others that may subscribe.

We know that reading a good book can be, shall we say, illuminating, but a paperback ain't got nothing on the Lumio ($160). It looks like a book - albeit one with a wood cover - but you won't find any words (or pictures) inside: you'll find light, emanating from the accordion folded LED "pages" inside. Keep it on the bedside table with the rest of your books and turn it on when you want to read a few pages before sleeping. Store it on the shelf in the living room and open it when you need some mood lighting. The possibilities for your Lumio are endless.

PULLMAN, Wash. - Jordan Railey (Beaverton, Ore./Beaverton High School/Iowa State) has signed a Financial Aid Agreement to join the Washington State University men's basketball team beginning next season, head coach Ken Bone announced Thursday.
"We're excited about the addition of Jordan," Bone said. "With his size and athleticism, Jordan will add much-needed depth to our front court. Although he didn't play a lot of minutes at Iowa State, he has experienced high-level college basketball and now has a year to prepare himself for competition as a Cougar."
Railey (6-foot-11, 245, C) played two seasons at Iowa State in Des Moines, Iowa after graduating from Beaverton High School in Beaverton, Ore. in 2010. As a sophomore in 2011-12, Railey appeared in 13 games for the Cyclones, averaging 0.5 points and 0.7 rebounds in 3.5 minutes per game, as Iowa State advanced to the third round of the NCAA Tournament. He was 1-for-1 with two points in five minutes in a win over Prairie View A&M, Dec. 6, and grabbed four rebounds in 10 minutes at No. 10 Kansas, Jan. 14.
As a freshman, Railey averaged 2.0 points and 1.5 rebounds per game in 25 contests for ISU, averaging nine minutes a game. He was third on the team in blocks with 20 and recorded five points and a career-high three blocks in a defeat of Chicago State, Dec. 21. He also tallied five points in a 91-43 victory over Drake, Nov. 17.
Prior to attending Iowa State, Railey played high school basketball at Beaverton High School where he was ranked as the third-best center on the West Coast by Scout.com, averaging 13.9 points, 7.7 rebounds and 4.6 blocks as a senior. He led all players in Class 6A in blocks per game as the Beavers went 14-13 during the 2009-10 season. He served as BHS's team captain during both his junior and senior seasons.
Railey will sit out the 2012-13 season due to NCAA transfer rules. The Cougars return eight letterwinners, including three starters, from last season's team that reached the championship round of the 2012 College Basketball Invitational (CBI).

You know who we're talking about: that nice lady who still insists on using bar soap for the bathroom sink instead of plumeria-cinnamon-apricot liquid goodness in a handy and hygienic dispenser, like the rest of us hip-with-the-times types. At least with this Waterfall Soap Saver ($6), the bar in question won't be resting in a murky and mysterious pool. Tell her it's a "Just Because I Love You" present.
Great for classy ladies who prefer handcrafted soaps.

McBurger Crime
Fast Food News relays the tale of the overly salty burger and the arrest that followed. Take a look:
Yes, you read that right. A McDonald's employee, Kendra Bull, in Union City, Georgia was arrested after a local cop claimed he became ill from an extra salty Big N' Tasty.Oh! This is a perfect time to re-mention The Burger Museum. If you haven't seen it—see it!
Bull told cops she accidentally put too much salt and pepper on the hamburger, but since managers had been concerned about waste, she "had gone ahead and used the hamburger."

College Hockey:Dodge Leads Knights To Title Game
Two Goals In The Third, Only Scorer In Shootout For Dodge
BURLINGTON, Vt. — Sophomore Nick Dodge tallied twice in the third period as Clarkson rallied for a 3-3 tie against Bemidji State in the opening round of the Sheraton/TD BankNorth Catamount Cup at the University of Vermont on Friday evening. The Golden Knights advance to Saturday's championship game to play host Vermont after edging the Beavers in the five-man shootout 1-0.
Sophomore David Leggio was the standout of the shootout session stopping all five Bemidji State attempts. Dodge, Clarkson's first shooter, connected for the lone goal of the shootout.
Ranked 15th in the country, Clarkson owns a 10-5-2 overall record and will play in its first holiday tournament championship game since winning the 1995 RPI Invitational title. Vermont, ranked 5th nationally, defeated Dartmouth 1-0 in Friday's other first round game.
The Knights trailed 3-1 early in the second period againt Bemidji State, but were able to battle back for the tie on the strength of the play of Dodge. Clarkson's leading scorer, the assistant captain made it a 3-2 game at 11:22 of the third with his third shorthanded goal of the season. Dodge took a pass from senior captain Chris Brekelmans and fired a hard shot from the top of the left circle that defected off the Beaver's goaltender and trickled over the goal line. With 2:31 remaining in regulation, Dodge connected for his ninth goal of the year when he drilled a shot from the slot underneath the crossbar to make it 3-3. Junior Mike Sullivan assisted.
Bemidji State (9-6-2) took a 2-1 first period lead, sandwiching goals around Sullivan' 5-on-3 power-play marker at 7:37. Senior assistant captain Jeff Genovy and junior Michael Grenzy assisted on Sullivan' seventh goal of the year.
The Beavers made it 3-1 at 4:39 of the middle frame.
Clarkson out shot Bemidji State 28-17. Leggio posted 14 saves. The Knights were 1-of-8 on the power play and killed off all six of the Beavers' man-advantage opportunities.
