BETHESDA, MD— Alley Cat Allies, the only national advocacy organization dedicated to the protection and humane treatment of cats, today thanked Memphis, Tenn. Mayor A.C. Wharton, Jr. and Police Director Toney Armstrong for overseeing a long investigation into practices at the Memphis animal shelter that uncovered criminal animal cruelty and other serious charges.
The two-year undercover investigation at Memphis Animal Services resulted in six employees convicted of animal cruelty, as well as evidence of shelter dogs being used in dog fighting rings. It also found deteriorating conditions at the facility that caused major suffering.
"We are grateful to law enforcement authorities in Memphis for treating this case with the seriousness it deserves, including pursuing felony charges for many of these horrible criminal acts," said Becky Robinson, president and co-founder of Alley Cat Allies.
"We are also hopeful that conditions at the shelter will improve under the new leadership," said Robinson. "While mandatory training for shelter employees is important, this training is only the first step in a much needed major overhaul of policies and procedures that will truly protect animals."
"These cruel practices and deplorable conditions are failing the animals and citizens of Memphis. We join with Memphis residents in calling for immediate life-saving changes and reform that reflect a completely new direction for the shelter," said Robinson.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – A pair of three-run fifth innings proved costly for the Campbellsville University Tigers Monday, dropping a doubleheader at No. 18 Auburn University-Montgomery, 5-3 and 3-0.
Campbellsville's only lead in the doubleheader came in the top of the fourth in game one. Michael Bush was hit by a pitch and Tanner Nielsen walked to start the inning before Aaron Schwoebel reached on a fielder's choice. A poor throw on a pickoff move scored Bush to tie the game, 1-1, before Keaton Neeb doubled in Schwoebel.
AUM scored three in the fifth on three hits, two walks and an error. All three runs were charged to starter Bret DeRooy (1-1) for his first loss of the season. Shelby Nobles doubled in one run, and later scored on a wild pitch. Wes Hughes scored the second run of the inning on a wild throw.
The Tigers managed to get one run back in the seventh on a two-out RBI single from Nielsen to score Josh Potter, who was 2-for-3 on the day. The Tigers left two stranded in the inning. AUM's Hayden Hillyer drove in the Senator's first run in the second inning.
In the second game, Tiger starter Tylar Schmunk carried a one-hit shutout into the fifth before giving up a runner on an error and then a single to Hillyer to start the inning. The junior pitcher got a sac punt and infield pop up before striking out Brandon Kelly for what would have been the third out. However, the third strike on Kelley was wild, allowing him to reach and scoring courtesy runner Blake Woo. Schmunk also had a throwing error in the inning to score a run and Bush had a fielding error at third to score the Warhawks' third run.
The Tigers were retired in order in the sixth and seventh.
Schmunk (1-1) allowed only two hits and two walks in the game and struck out nine. All three of his runs allowed were unearned. Jeff Larabee also made a brief appearance, recording th final out in the sixth.
Nielsen led CU's offense in the nightcap, going 2-for-3, while Bush and Shane Woodson had the other Tiger hits.

Jack tells Kate about Navarro who is on his way to meet Adrian with the override device and Chloe is still hanging with Adrian. They both look as if they are lacking nutrition and could use a good blood transfusion. Jack is spending all his energy chasing after Navarro who has been royally set up by the pasty looking Adrian.
An empty handed Navarro is captured and handcuffed, but Jack spots the distinct yellowish bag containing the override draped across Adrian's shoulder. He then chases after Adrian and the train he's riding on. This is when Jack notices that Chloe is with Adrian.
Agent Eric Ritter finally gets his moment to shine and steps in Navarro's shoes as director, making all the announcements, calling all the shots. Oh snap. Kate learns Navarro is the one who set her husband up and guess who gets to interrogate Navarro? And we all know Jack can be nice but for only so long. Navarro gets all cocky and demanding immunity in exchange for his wealth of information. Jack, in turn, gets all angry and violent and nearly breaks the man's hand off. Good times fans, good times.
As expected, Navarro loses all that cockiness and screams for immediate medical attention instead. Kate shouts at him as a team of men pull Jack off the government traitor. An insecure Mark is busy stabbing Jack in the back by scheming to turn him over to the Russians. Chloe, realizing she's with a world class nut job, tries and fails to run away with the device.
Kate storms into the medical exam room where Navarro is receiving treatment for his damaged hand. She rants. She raves. She brandishes a gun right into Navarro's forehead. Jack enters the room and orders Kate to lower her weapon. She does not. She rants and raves some more until Navarro gives up the information they needed. Well played you two. Well played. You can almost see the hope fade from Navarro's face as he realizes it's over for him.
OMG! When Adrian and Chloe return to Adrian's latest techno lair, they find all the other geeks dead or dying. Moments later, a very familiar face arrives. It's the same Chinese meanie who tortured Jack and Audrey Raines several seasons ago and now he's forcing Chloe to restore the override to its original state.
Mark is beyond frantic. Now that he knows Bauer is in route to retrieve the device, he tries desperately to stop the kidnapping of Jack Bauer. But he's too late. Suddenly, a large truck barrels into the vehicle Jack and Kate are traveling in which sidetracks them from their mission because now they have to shoot their way out of this predicament.
Before he dies from a bullet to the head, Adrian confesses to Chloe that no one had tried to kill her. Morris and Prescott's death was an accident. So she spent all those years living as a bitter anti-government Goth geek for nothing and now her life is in danger, being held captive by a crazy man who just manipulated a missile launch directed towards a ship.

June 23rd, 2014
0 comments
It is a bit overcast and cooler today, but it looks like the sun is trying to make an appearance. We divided our team into different work groups so they could experience some different jobs and people.
The work groups today are:
- Constructing climbing walls that are going to be attached to the outside of the equipment shed so that the shed can be used as a smaller bouldering wall.
- Cement/rock breaking crew continuing work on arbor.
- Ditch digging crew for irrigation system in gardens
- Clearing paths on mountain for catapult swing and new hiking paths
- De-barking trees
The VBS went real well this afternoon. Only about 100 kids because there was testing in the local schools. The story and craft today was about Daniel in the lions den.
We are all looking forward to Pastor Sterling and Pastor Brian to join us later this evening. Tomorrow we head out early for two days in the jungle. We will not be able to post a blog while we are there. Will try and post again next Thursday.

Mapping the Mind to Map Your Home: Siol Studios
From Brittany Mauriss on June 04, 2010 in CalFinder News
"Green design is not enough; a deeper connection between self and place is required to create truly sustainable spaces." -Kevin Hackett
Design-builders love to talk about clients' needshow theyll take your vision, your desire for your home and turn it into reality. But few, if any, have shrinked your psyche to do so.
But dont be nervous. Kevin Hackett and Jessica Weigley of San Franciscos Siol Studios are no lab-coated therapists. Theyre researchers, artists and educators, and theyre working to change the face of sustainable home design.
I spoke with co-founder Kevin, a very polite and insightful architect from Limerick, Ireland, about Siol Studios architecture of self and place, and especially this connection between the brain and the homeor your home as a formed representation of your psychograph. Heres what he had to say.
You teach seminars on the connection between psychology and architecture. How would you incorporate a clients psychological needs/desiresthings that are intangible into the physical and practical design of their home?
KH: Each client has a unique psychograph. This encompasses their moral, cognitive, emotional, aesthetic and interpersonal lines of development (to name but a few). It is the role of the designer to interpret this profile. This body of knowledge is then overlaid with the client's program to create a foundation for the forthcoming design process.
We also explore the client's environmental subjectivity while educating an objective understanding of the mind. Subjectively, each client has a different response mechanism to space, color, texture, lighting, form, etc. We investigate the connectivity of such responses and bring awareness to the client. From the universal perspective, we share current neurological data and explain how it can assist us in the design process. It is a multifaceted approach that reflects the layered individuality of each client or group.
I love that you leave your projects with room to "evolve." This gives the client freedom to change and grow their space at a later date, but also cuts down on waste during future remodels. Is that part of your design process?
KH: From a sustainable approach, buildings need to be seen as living entities. Evolution thus occurs at the building level as well as the user level. A spatial layout that allows for both adaptability and emergence is essential. We like to think our spaces facilitate this change, behaving as a catalyst for developmental growth.
I see that you participated in San Franciscos Park(ing) Day 2008. How did you get involved and what did you take away from that?
KH: Parking Day was both an urban installation and experiment. We collaborated with local merchants to create an environment where the hierarchy of car - bike - pedestrian was turned upside-down, placing the pedestrian as priority.
It was a lesson in the street-narrowing process to create a more enriching sidewalk where culture and community intersect. We also wanted to demonstrate the potential flexibility of urban space on an intimate scale. This is commonplace in Europe, specifically with older grids, where a street has multi functions to reflect the changing momentum of the city.
What is the Siol Salon? Do you hold events for Bay Area locals?
The Siol Salon is a lecture series that we have previously held in the Bay Area. It is an opportunity to share and discuss pertinent topics that relate to the architecture and design professions. This fall, we intend to hold our second salon with a group of lectures discussing the concepts of Integral Architecture.
What's next for you? What are your ultimate goals as thinkers and builders?
This coming July, we will be presenting our paper 'Towards an Integral Architecture' at the Integral Theory Conference in Pleasant Hill, California.
"An integrally informed architecture can nourish spirit, evolve perspectives, participate in harmony with its natural systems, and symbolically represent the whole." We believe that green design is not enough, a deeper connection between self and place is required to create truly sustainable spaces. This connection comes from an intimate understanding of self and the fulfillment of our role as co-creators and citizens of Earth. It is this connection that we seek to explore through our practice.
Get in touch with Kevin and Jessica:

Author Biography
As a child in West Virginia, Cynthia Rylant never dreamed of becoming a writer. In her free time, she devoured Archie comic books and paperback romances and enjoyed the outdoors. But after taking one college English class, she was, hooked on great writing I didnt know about this part of me until I went to college-didnt know I loved beautiful stories. And one night, inspired by the Southern writer James Agee, she sat down and wrote When I Was Young in the Mountains. Named a Caldecott Honor Book and an ALA Notable Book, it was an instant success. Since that night, Rylant hasnt stopped creating wonderful books. Her stories explore friendship, love, grief, and other mysteries, and often draw on her memories of growing up in Appalachia. I get a lot of personal gratification thinking of those people who dont get any attention in the world and making them really valuable in my fiction-making them absolutely shine with their beauty. She lives with her many pets in the Pacific Northwest.

There are a plethora of independent game developers seeking to prosper under Microsoft's ID@Xbox program. Some have already seen the light of day like Guacamelee Super Turbo Collectors Edition, others such as Threes! and Plague Inc: Evolved look to expand what's deemed acceptable on the Xbox Live Marketplace. However, Examiner recently got a chance to check out some of the more unique, distant titles coming to Xbox One in The Farm 51's Get Even and Storm in a Teacup's NERO.
One glance at Get Even and you'll grasp its visual superiority. But how does a small Polish studio manage to achieve such graphical fidelity? The answer lies in their location scanning technology that allows the studio to import real world locations using high tech 3D scanning cameras.
Players enter memories triggered by various photographs hung on tack-boards and investigate occurances through many short excursions in these recollections. However, some things can be altered and doing so opens up new information, new avenues, that the player can then utilize upon returning to the real world. You aren't a hero and everything is discovered through gameplay. At no point does the game seize control from you. With such an emphasis on a Butterfly Effect-esque experience, The Farm 51 wants to make sure players truly feel responsible for causing an impact.
Storm in a Teacup shares similar motivations, seeking to reinvent the visual novel. The Italy based developer has created an alluring bio-luminescent forest full of puzzles and grandeur for the player to explore. Most of the world is represented and revealed craftily using the environmental, color clues, and a couple nudges here and there from what can only be described as a black hooded character. The studio's creative director was tight lipped regarding many details saying that any detail could be a major spoiler.
"What are you ready to sacrifice for someone else," he asks us. As far as what you're sacrificing or who you're doing it for, we'll have to wait to find out. Storm in a Teacup is aiming for a Q1 2015 release.

JWC AND TC TO MARGARET A. CARLYLE; 6 October 1831; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18311006-TCJWC-MAC-01; CL 6:7-11.
[6 October 1831]
[From JWC:]
My dear Mother
The newspaper would give you assurance that I was arrived in London, and in a condition to write your name; but further particulars concerning myself and the barrel, you are still anxiously waiting for, and now that I find myself at liberty to write, it were inhuman to keep you longer in suspense.
To begin with the beginning— After leaving you all with a sad enough heart, and com[m]itting myself to the mercy of the waves, my case was none of the pleasantest— Alick recommended me to go down to the cabin till the vessel got underway—and I saw no more of the sea till I stepped on shore at Liverpool. It was very stormy, and I was mortally sick the whole twenty four hours. Happily there was no cabin-passenger besides myself. So I had 'ample room and verge enough'1 to make what demonstrations I pleased. My cousin Alick2 was waiting for me on the dock with a hackney coach which in a few minutes landed me with my trunks &c at my Uncles—one of his men took the barrel in a cart to the office from which it was to be forwarded by the canal. They were all very glad to see me at Maryland Street—and feeling entirely exhausted with my sea-sickness I stupidly let myself be persuaded not to proceed till the Wednesday.3 And by Wednesday I was in worse fettle for travelling than when I arrived for I had almost no sleep the whole time of my stay owing to a Lady in the same room snoring like ten steam engines. My seat was taken in a coach that came straight thro' so that I had no shifting of luggage to embar[r]ass me. My travelling companions were two irish Ladies—who neither picked my pocket of my purse nor watch. and twenty four hours after I started, I had the satisfaction of jumping out into Carlyle[']s arms who with John was waiting for me at a certain Angel Inn—you may imagine the sight of their faces among so many hundreds of strange ones was a joyful sight. They were both looking well—John thin[n]ish but clear and healthy looking. They had a nice little dinner of chops and rice pudding in readiness— Edward Irving came up in the evening and all was well— But I was not to escape so easily— The next day and the next my head was so ill I had to be in bed— On Sunday I got out a little—and saw the Montagus4— On Monday we were hunting after new lodgings—George Irving's being intolerably noisy and still infested with bugs which few houses here are without. We succeeded in realizing a much better up-putting for the same money—in the house of a Mrs Miles and Mrs Page—english people—where I now write— The barrel had arrived the end of the week and been unpacked—so that our flitting was no such light matter. and occupied all Tuesday— Yesterday I had a headach[e] again and to day is the first that I can call my own.
I hope we shall be very comfortable here—the people are of a prepossessing appearance—and the house is the only clean one I have seen since I left Scotland[.] We have a Drawingroom about the size of our own at Craigenputtoch—more elegantly fitted up—with a small but comfortable bedroom opening from it with large folding doors. it is in an airy and remarkably quiet street—and the people assure us they very seldom see a bug. I have no notion of London house keeping yet but am lying back till with 'weender and amazement.'5 I have reviewed the ground—one fact I may mention as a sample potatoes are a penny a pound—so that we pay three half pence for barely as many as we need—the milk too is ridiculously dear and such stuff after Nooly's6— Thank Heaven we have good butter without running to the shops— And Carlyle has fastened a lid with a padlock on the can— But what place unites all the advantages of both town and country?
I have seen few people yet—not even Jeffrey who is very ill—confined to bed— I was to have gone to him yesterday but could not for my head— Carlyle and I are thinking to walk over tonight when his Ladies are at the House of Lords—[w]hich will suit me best.
John set off on Tuesday Morning7 to join his Countess at Dover—a newspaper has since intimated his safe arrival so far— He was in good spirits for the enterprise and we hope it will be the beginning of much good for him—
Carlyle is reading today with a view to writing an article—to keep Mall—in shaft— They are not going to print the book after all— Murray has lost heart lest it do not take with the public and so like a stupid ass as he is has sent back the manuscript[.] The deevil may care it shall be printed in spite of Murray some time and in the meanwhile it is not losing any of its worth by lying—Jane W Carlyle8
[From TC, 7 October:]
My Dear Mother—I expected to get a frank for this; but the Advocate is sick and bedfast for these two weeks, so that we cannot ask him. I judge that you will much rather pay the postage than wait longer. I received a short note for you from John yesterday, with another as short for myself: it contained nothing but affectionate blessings; intelligence that he had reached Dover in safety, and seen the Countess with satisfaction. They would sail on Wednesday morning, in three hours would be in France, and so I calculate are by this time far on the road to Paris. The whole expedition looked very promising, and I do hope it will turn to good for our poor Doctor, who has a true heart in him and great capabilities every way to do good service in his day and generation. Edward Irving took leave of him on Sabbath night, at the Church after preaching; led him into the vestry with his Elders, and there offered up a solemn prayer (I have no doubt, from the heart) that God might be with him, and bless him in his wayfarings. So be it!— I am to hear again from Paris; and will soon transmit the tidings to you. I gave Jack a Letter to the St Simonians; he expects to pass some weeks in Paris and will see many pleasant & instructive things.
You are to remember that I calculated on getting a frank, and so writing you a whole Letter myself to go along with this of Jane's which was ready last night: so you can get little good of me here.9 I will soon write again, with my usual minuteness. Meanwhile believe, dear Mother, that we are all right, and better than could be expected: our Lodging here is quite superior, without vermin, without noise; quite a dainty little place; my health has improved since the Wife came to look after me; I am about beginning to write something,10 and can hope to spend the winter profitably and pleasantly enough. As for the Bookseller's refusal of my Book I care not a doit for it: I know what is wrong and what is right in the Book without his counsel; I will have it printed one day too: nay if it is not to be printed at all, I can still live and rejoice. By God's infinite grace I know what I am doing; let them see what they are doing[.]
Our address is: "4. Ampton Street, Mecklenburg Square": I wish you had some means of communicating it to M'Diarmid.11 Perhaps Alick can if he is still with you.
One little corner still remains for repeating my questions after you, which I fear no one will soon answer. Bid some of them write and tell me how you and my Father are, and everything that is going on among you. Take care of yourselves, my dear Mother; this passes for a dangerous season of the year, and winter is coming with its colds and coughs. Be kind to one another: as you often say, we have but a small time to be here. Yet out of God's sight we shall never go. Thank, my Father, for his sad but loving note:12 yours also was not missed. God bless you all.
The paper Profiles13 are very like, and bring every one of you vividly to my mind, when I spread you out on the table, it is as if you were all there.
You will get a Newspaper regularly on Sabbath as you come from church: the Examiner on Wednesday I also think of sending: be sure to send them on to Alick.
This is the 'great' night (Friday) for trying whether the Lords will pass the Refo[rm] Bill:14 it is much [f]eared that they will not; but everything is perfectly quiet; and, I think, it is little matter (except for themselves) how they [vote; th]ey are great fools[.]
Jeffrey is not thought to be dangerously ill; but suffers great pain; it is connected with the bowels. We both walked over last night and saw him.
I doubt you will hardly ever make this all out. It is done now; and your affectionate Son subscribes himself
T. Carlyle—
[Jane] Has arrived in London. 'John' (Brr John doctor) off for Italy, Travelling Physn to the Lady Clare, where, in that or in other such capacities, he long contind. 'Barrel' I don't now recollect, 'Butterpig & padlock' I well do,—blessings from my heart on that barrel & that pig!

My dad always wanted to have his own business. In 1981 he purchased "Meatland" in the southern area of Windsor, Connecticut. He converted this store to Windsor Minimart serving the neighborhood area 7 days a week as a grocery store with a deli Needless to say, all of the family helped father in this new venture myself included We renovated the premises to the vision he had for this grocery store. As time went on he then opened West Suffield Minimart in Suffield Connecticut and shortly after opened Portland Minimart in Portland Connecticut He then decided to retire and has great memories of the people who he met over the years. He treated Them like family, like his dad did.
I told my father that I would never own my own business due to the tremendous daily insanity that is required. But in 1992 there was a small deli for sale on Poquonock Avenue in Windsor Connecticut I was then working at Hamilton Standard, and with the tremendous layoffs, decided to purchase this deli. My wife said What?' I named it "Windsor Pickle Deli: with the pickleman logo. After 3 years I needed more space. 700 sq. ft. wasn't big enough because we started catering to area businesses.
I then found this deli restaurant in South Windsor for sale with 1800 sq. ft. My wife said "What"?? So my wife and I purchased this Deli-Restaurant in 1995 we went from 14 seats to 48 seats to accommodate our patrons and to increase our catering business with a larger kitchen facility. I then decided to sell the Windsor Connecticut Deli and concentrate on the South Windsor Deli Restaurant.
Ten years later we found ourselves needing more space, just like in 1995. Ironically, we found a closed Pizzeria on Spring Street in Windsor Locks Connecticut. This facility required a lot of renovation, from ceiling to basement. My wife and I want to have a homestyle surrounding for guests to enjoy the meals that our chefs create. Someone once asked me. What is your restaurant theme" I stated 1 don't have one' but all the new restaurants have one! I believe, like my father and his lather that you serve Quality Food, Deliver Quality Food and treat guests like family!
So get comfortable, relax, I'll handle the daily insanity. Because after all these years I think I like it!! And most of all enjoy your meal. Thank you for choosing the PICKLEWORKS.
P.S. Many thanks to my wife for enduring this latest adventure.
To my son for stepping up and having patience when I needed him Most "Demo Man".
To my daughter for her bathroom colors, design and smile.
To my brother for filling in the Gaps".
To Lou for going above the call and making the "Call".
To Matt "Beetle Bailey" "Shaggy" Big Thanks!' Great Future Ahead.
And to my Dad, Always there, anytime. Thanks for the insanity! Couldn't do it without you!!

Men's Volleyball Jerseys
Men's Volleyball JerseysWe have no problem with Lacrosse or Soccer players. In fact, some of them might even be able to cut it on the volleyball court. That said, there's no wearing LAX or Soccer gear on the court. You should be wearing a men's volleyball jersey! Let's face it, volleyball players are built differently than any other athletes and the sport requires movements that no other sport does. Time to get a men's volleyball jersey that is built specifically for you.

Danny Cleary scored in his first game back after missing three with a groin injury but it wasn't enough for the Detroit Red Wings, who played an uninspired game in losing to the Philadelphia Flyers.
Despite the loss, the Red Wings clinched their 19th consecutive trip to the Stanley Cup Playoffs, as the Calgary Flames lost to the Chicago Blackhawks.
Daniel Carcillo scored just 17 seconds into the game, setting the tone for the remainder of the afternoon.
Carcillo's wrister from the left faceoff circle broke through Chris Osgood's glove and into the top corner of the net, giving the Flyers the lead on the game's first shot.
Kimmo Timmonen made it 2-0 at 7:16, beating Osgood from the slot on a four-on-two rush.
Cleary got the Red Wings on the board with 5:52 left in the first, banging home his own rebound from the edge of the crease.
Just 2:15 later, Darren Helm tied things up swatting a backhand chance past Philadelphia goalie Brian Boucher off the rebound of a Brian Rafalski shot.
Claude Giroux restored the Flyers' lead only 53 seconds into the second period, beating Osgood when he was left all alone in the slot.
Aaron Asham scored a similar goal with 2:24 left in the period, tipping home a chance from the front of the net after sneaking in behind the defense.
Pavel Datsyuk scored 2:22 into the third period, rifling a shot from the top of the left circle past Boucher, but the Red Wings would not get a fourth goal to tie the game.
Osgood stopped 21 of 25 shots in his first appearance since January. Boucher made 31 saves on 34 Detroit shots.
Neither team scored a power play goal. The Red Wings had three chances with the extra attacker while the Flyers had two.
Chris Osgood makes his first start since January today as the Red Wings visit the Philadelphia Flyers.
Philadelphia is fighting for a playoff spot while the Red Wings have virtually locked up theirs. Detroit is, however, battling with the LA Kings and Nashville Predators for positioning.
The Predators moved to two points up on the Wings with yesterday afternoon's overtime win in Detroit. The Red Wings have two games in hand on Nashville, one of which is today.
The Kings lost in a shootout last night, keeping them one point back of Detroit.
The Phoenix Coyotes are nearly out of reach in fourth place in the Western Conference, six points up on Detroit with four games remaining. The Colorado Avalanche are holding down eight spot, seven points back with five games left. Calgary is tied with Colorado with one fewer game remaining.
Welcome back, Danny. With the puck bouncing so much that's the kind of goal that'll be needed today.
So was that the Wings "starting slow" like usual and now they're good or is this gonna be a knock-down drag out kind of game?
Our D needs to stop chasing. Led to their 4th goal.
Not just the fourth goal, probably three or four of the last five (going back to yesterday).
That was just a disappointing game.
Seems like Detroit showed up about 10 minutes late right off the bat. Playing a Goalie that hasn't played in what, 3 months, when you need 1 point to clinch a playoff spot doesn't seem like the worlds best strategy. Yeah, Ozzys a good goalie but a lot rested on this game. Right now Colorado and Calgary and have 1 and 2 games in hand on us respectively. Both are playing today but we could find ourselves fighting for our lives in Chicago next Sunday and end up in 9th. This could have been a done deal today but admittedly it's not all Ozzys fault. Lets hope this doesn't bite us in the ass in a week.
EDIT: Maybe not. The NHL site now shows #6 Det and #7 LA as having clinched playoff spots....
I think a lot of people will fault Ozzie for the first goal but at least two of the other three fall as much (if not more) on lack of defensive coverage.
Calgary's loss did clinch a playoff spot for Detroit, though, so now it's all about positioning. Part of me is terrified of playing the NHL-owned team so with the Coyotes pretty much locked in to the #4 seed finishing fifth isn't such a big deal. That said, sixth means a hell of a lot of travel since it'd be a matchup with #3 Vancouver.
Chicago is the only team I really want to play right now but I don't want the Wings to slide that far down. It's a weird position to be in at this time of year.
I'd like to see the Wings matched up with the Coyotes in the first round, but for purely selfish reasons. A good buddy of mine is HUGE Coyotes fan and not living that far from PHX I'd get to see some Wings playoff action. I saw some last year in Anaheim in the second round. Who knows, maybe I'll get to see Det play LA or PHX in the second round this year...
Glad to see the Wings made it for a 19th second season. Lets hope it's a fruitful one.

LA Lakers vs Chicago Bulls: 98-91
LA Lakers vs Chicago Bulls: 98-91 – In Tuesday's victory over the Bulls, Shannon Brown of the Lakers managed to score a total of 21 points with five three-pointers against the Bulls. Kobe Bryant was definitely a driving force in their fifth straight win, scoring a total of 20 points to bring the score up to 98-91 for the night. The Lakers had some trouble getting started, training at a 17-2 score before taking it back. Although Derrick Rose from the Bulls scored 30 points with a few daredevil drives, ultimately it wasn't enough to keep the Lakers down for long.
Lamar Odom scored 21 points for the Lakers and Steve Blake as well as Brown combined their efforts to score another 10 points, giving the team the advantage they needed to win the game and their fifth consecutive victory. The Chicago bulls managed to get only one field goal as well as 10 points in the final minutes of the game. The Lakers improved their standing though with a few extra points and managed to topple the Bulls and gain the victory they needed to end it. Paul Gasol was among the best and brightest Lakers on the court, scoring just 12 points but playing with amazing heart.

Former Stanford quarterback Tavita Pritchard is in his sixth season on the Cardinal coaching staff and second as quarterbacks and wide receivers coach in 2015. In 2013, his first season as an assistant coach, Pritchard worked with the Cardinal running backs. He was as a defensive assistant for two years after serving as a volunteer assistant in 2010.
In Pritchard's first season coaching the quarterbacks and wide receivers in 2014, Stanford averaged 229.8 yards/game through the air. Kevin Hogan increased his completion percentage from 61.0 to 65.9 percent and reduced his interception total from 10 to eight, even though he threw almost 60 more passes in 2014 than 2013.
Ty Montgomery led Stanford with 61 receptions for 604 yards and also added three receiving touchdowns. Devon Cajuste led the Cardinal with six receiving scores and amassed 557 yards on 34 catches.
As the running backs coach in 2013, Pritchard nurtured Tyler Gaffney to second team All-Pac-12 honors. Gaffney was also a Doak Walker Award semifinalist, rushed for over 100 yards in nine games and was selected as the team's most valuable player. Gaffney rushed for 1,709 yards and 21 touchdowns on the season and was named the Pac-12 Championship Game MVP after rushing for 133 yards and three touchdowns in a 38-20 win over Arizona State.
Gaffney was selected in the sixth round of the NFL draft by the Carolina Panthers.
Behind Pritchard's efforts with the defense, the Cardinal finished with consecutive top-15 national standings in defensive efficiency in 2011 and 2012. In 2012, Stanford's defense broke the school's single-season sacks record (57) and led the Pac-12 in scoring defense (17.21), total defense (336.21), rushing defense (97.0), sacks (4.07) and tackles for loss (9.00).
Capped off by a Pac-12 title game victory and Rose Bowl crown, the 2012 Cardinal ranked first nationally in sacks, second in tackles for loss, fifth in rushing defense and 11th in scoring defense.
A four-year letterwinner for the Cardinal from 2006-09, Pritchard appeared in 31 career games and made 20 starts, throwing for 2,865 yards and 15 touchdowns.
Recruiting Areas
Pritchard started all 12 games as a junior in 2008 and threw for 1,633 yards and 10 touchdowns, helping Stanford to a 5-7 record. He relinquished his starting duties to Andrew Luck in 2009. Pritchard saw action in five games that season, capped off by a start in the Sun Bowl for an injured Luck.
A native of Tacoma, Wash., Pritchard earned a communication degree from Stanford. He resides in Palo Alto with his wife, Caroline.

SC theatre workshop continues despite weather conditions
The show must go on. Despite school cancellations and weather delays, nine schools attended Sterling College's Theatre Workshop Day on March 3. Over 100 students participated in the day that included morning workshops and a matinee performance of "The Glass Menagerie."
Students were given the opportunity to learn about acting, audition monologues, dance for the stage, forensics, taking head shots, improvisation, musical theatre singing, scenic painting, stage combat and sword fighting, stage lighting, stage makeup, and costuming.
"Hosting a theatre workshop helps reach out to prospective students by exposing them to the Sterling College theatre department while learning more about theatre in general. It's a fun way to teach visiting students and show off the department," said Kacie Hastings, admissions counselor.
The schools in attendance were Burrton High School of Burrton Kan.; Cunningham High School of Cunningham, Kan.; Holcomb High School of Holcomb, Kan.; Liberal High School of Liberal, Kan.; McPherson High School of McPherson, Kan.; Moundridge High School of Moundridge, Kan.; St. John's Lutheran School of Beloit, Kan.; Sterling High School of Sterling, Kan.; and Trinity Catholic High School of Hutchinson, Kan.

I would like to make a cronjob who makes a tag.gz of everything inside a directory in a recursive way. BUT there is a HUGE directory full of jpg's. I don't want this one in the backup.
Additional points if it can backup symbolic links.
Simple - you use tar's --exclude flag:
That will exclude *.jpg, *.jpG, *.jPg, *.jPG, *.Jpg, *.JpG, *.JPg and *.JPG
You can specify multiple --exclude flags if you want to exclude more things.
You could use the exclude pattern option of tar in the following way:

« Take the Democrat stimulus poll! | Main

You are a Republican and are starving to death on a street corner. President Obama offers you a ham sandwich he bought with the stimulus. What would you do?(polling)
Mike, You just don't get it.
Politicians tooks millions of sandwiches from the taxpayers last year, wasted more than half of them during the trip to DC and back and then what was left over, Obama handed out.

Starving to death … when did stimulus go to welfare ? I think i'd like to get my sandwich from the welfare line. I'd like to get roads and bridges built with stimulus money. Once the sandwich is gone i have solved nothing …. i could still use the bridge for years to come.
Do you see the difference?

I'm not even a Republican. I'm a Democrat. But I'm really getting tired of you as a columnist. You think you know everything and provide excellent analysis and context of current affairs. Guess what? You don't! I'm tired of your continued teacher bashing, Republican bashing, Democrat bashing and everything else you do. Leave politics alone for a while. You're pretty much the reason I cut my subscription down. Why don't we get real humor columnists like real newspapers. We need a Dave Berry type – not you! When I completely cancel my subscription there goes your merit pay.

Under your scenario, I would subsist on all the sandwiches I bought over the last 8 years. And while I understand your point that we are broke and need money, I see this as an opportunity to shrink government back down to fighting weight.

How could a Republican starve to death? I thought we all got big checks from Big Oil.
If Barack Obama offered me a ham sandwich, I'd say, "you know, a prosecutor is supposed to be able to get an indictment against one of these things. So why can't your Attorney General make a case against two guys who were brandishing weapons outside a polling place?"
I'd ask Barack Obama why he thought the stimulus money belonged to him in the first place to do with as he pleased.
I'd ask how many jobs he would claim as "created or saved" because he picked up an extra sandwich.
I'd say, "Gee, Mr President, it sure is swell of you to take time away from your $100/lb steak dinners, $10,000/plate fundraisers, and $200,000 'date night's to buy a ham sandwich with money that isn't even yours so you can make newspaper people and others of limited intelligence think you're generous."

Mike Thomas should be fired for acting like his readers are all retarded.
Stimulus is supposed to stimulate the economy and stimulate jobs not stimulate handouts. Obama is as MIA in the White House as Mike Thomas is in his blog.
Allow me to add a fourth radio button to your survey Mike.
Ο Pass on the sandwich and get a job funded my an improved economy based on wisely spent
stimulus money.

I'd say that…
a) If you left me alone in the first place and had not taken all the ham I earned and saved, I'd already have a sandwich.
b) If you would have not taken away my the ham I earned to give others pot roast they hadn't earned, I'd already have a sandwich and we'd all be happy with ham.
c) If you would have not taken so much of my ham, I'd be happy to share with those that don't have a sandwich.
d) If you would focus more on accountability and less on entitlement, we'd have a country full of people chasing pigs and baking bread and less sitting on street corners complaining about lack of sandwich handouts.

Mike, I'm an Independent and I'll take the hammy sammitch with a cold beer then sit back and whatch the party of "No" starve and the party of "Whats yours is ours" sue or eat each other. Then come November we'll get some real representation in government.

How about some good news reporting like things people have done that are good for the community. We know we're getting it up where the sun don't shine when it comes to Washington and our State Government. We don't need a columnist trying to steer our opinion on those issue. Real life teaches us what is happening in that arena, not reading someone elses personal agenda. Surely there is some good stories that happen on a daily basis or maybe some good jokes or humor. Jeez, get a life.

the most important thing to realize is the reason WHY we're starving, which is BECAUSE OUR RIDICULOUSLY HIGH TAXES TOOK OUR FOOD MONEY AWAY, and because govt INTERFERENCE (aka regulation and policy) INSISTED that every American, regardless of their income, OWN A HOME. want to fix this? no chance of a self-regulating entity ever taking away its own rights, so all the incumbents would grandfather in, but ALL NEW-COMING POLITICIANS AT EVERY LEVEL, local state and federal, receive NO PENSION OF ANY KIND, MEDICAL BENEFITS FROM MILITARY HOSPITALS ONLY, FOR THEM AND THEIR ENTIRE FAMILY, and get paid THE MEDIAN WAGE OF THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, updated ANNUALLY.

Is that the ham sandwich that the goverment bought at $1.99 per pound with stimulus money or is it the same ham that Joe the plumber buys at Publix for $.99 cent a pound?
The elite progressives always tell you how smart they. However, they all fail miserably with history. They keep doing the same thing over and over and expect different results.

As a Republican, I would need to know where this ham came from. If he offered me prosciutto on aged cheese with a side of Opus One cabernet and a Louis xiii chaser, I would have to say yes. But if you're talking processed ham on white bread, I would starve. You have to be more specific, Mike. Take the farm-bred free-roaming boars of western France. At fifteen hundred dollars a pound, they're delicious!! Obama eats 100-dollar a pound Wagyu beef for dinner every night. Stop yer whinin'. Mike's a "hater".

In the US, you make your own destiny and each man for his own. If you fail its your own fault. If you get hurt on your knife its your own fault for not thinking. If you hurt others, your actions are your own choice and fault.
In Europe, there is the double-edged sword of the societal net, both helping and hindering you. If you get cut on your knife, somebody probably wouldve warned you, and someone will probably help you find a band aid. And if you hurt somebody else, it is probably because you are a product of your society and it is our duty to make sure you understand your mistake and then improve you as a human being.

If I am a Republican and starving to death it is likely because I am destitute and unemployed. This would be because of the ridiculous democratic circus that has focused on completely the wrong things during their reign. They've managed to kill the economy, choke small business, and gleefully focused on every single unimportant democratic pet pork project they've ever wanted. All while 4 million Americans lost their jobs in 2009. And while they've had a democratic President and a Super Majority in both the Senate and the House.
Mike Thomas, for you to make light of this situation is appalling and really shows how far out of touch with reality newspaper people have become and why newspapers are a dying breed. Shame on you.

Mike, you sure know how to set people off. Glad to see you're getting extra clicks these days. As to the sandwich, I get joke, and its funny. Problem is, its a false argument. Obama is not giving sandwiches to anyone. The starving Republican, or American, if you prefer, is having his own sandwich taken from him, and Obama hands it back after swiping some of the cheese (let's a assume it's a ham n'cheese with mayo) and says, "Aren't I noble and all, giving you some hope and change!" Are some politicians hypocrites, sure. But Republicans taking high-speed rail money are far less egregious than than Democrats bankrupting the country with a GM-like pension-Ponzi scheme of federal entitlements, not to mention undermining the military and our intelligence agencies while secretly thanking God every night that they won't wind up being beheaded by some al-Queda crazy or killed by some deranged foreign dictator. By the way – I'd take my own sandwich from Obama, thank him, eat half, and sell the rest for some start up capital for my own venture.

Hi Green Lizard.. Thanks for the click! What was the Medicare drug plan and Medicare Advantage other than a Ponzi scheme of GM-like federal entitlements? When it comes to George Bush, Obama remains an amateur when it comes to creating long-term structural imbalances in the budget. So far, anyway. What this is about is getting people to take off their ideological blinders. Both parties are pretty much the same. One simply is honest about what it's doing.

Lessons Learned:
1) Keep some kind of record, written or photographic, of your previous work. It was really nice to go back to my web page to refresh my memory of how to do the layering for the snow.
cut a piece of scratch paper the same dimensions as this
double page spread and planned out the shape of the snow
everything had dried, I began gluing the layers and the
trees onto the page. I layered the trees between the snow
banks and used thicker trunks in the foreground and thinner
trunks towards the back to give the picture some
This page
was much easier than the last one. It was very similar to the
Crystal Bay
page I did in the Motor Girls. I was surprised with myself that I had
forgotton how to do the overlapping pages for the snow. Since I no longer
have the Motor Girls book, I was grateful to look at the web site to
refresh my memory of how I did that page.
