Dina Lohan is slamming recent reports that question her parenting skills and claim that her 15-year-old daughter, Ali, is socializing instead of studying.
"Ali is in a home-schooling program. She has never been pulled out of school," Dina tells PEOPLE exclusively. "It's the same home-schooling program that Lindsay was in since the tenth grade. It's a wonderful program that many celebrities are enrolled in."
Defending her parenting skills, she says, "I am a single mom of four children, and I devote my life to my children."
As for the claims that Ali has been bitten by the partying bug, Dina says her daughter "is working, working hard. She's recording, and she's working on a fashion line. Ali has also been supporting her sister."
Lindsay Lohan, who recently split from longtime girlfriend Samantha Ronson, is also focusing on her career, says her mom. "Lindsay is working extremely hard. Her spray tan line sold more than 100,000 units at Sephora in one day."
Dina understands that her family's high profile garners media attention, but says, "We just wish people would leave us alone – at least for Mother's Day!"

Hey, I'm Elite!
Gordon and I are in our early 60s. Our children are grown and out of the house. We love to travel and rub shoulders with the locals. We have lived in many places in Canada and U.S. (Vancouver BC, Richmond BC, Victoria BC, Ft St. John BC, Tulsa OK, Irvine CA, Seattle WA, Pittsford NY) Now we live in Pleasanton, CA. This is the longest place we stayed so far...14 yr.
Gordon is a Patent Attorney, and I am the CEO of the house. We travelled extensively around the world. Sometime we tag our leisure travel after Gordon's business meetings or such. When the children were young we had a conversion Van, whenever there's holidays we would pack up the children to visit the national & state parks. One year we took a two months holidays driving across U.S, up and down the Eastcoast, and up and down the Westcoast. Had tons of fun.!
Gordon and I plan to visit some of the countries a few months at a time when Gordon retired from his work.

Bennett's thoughts on WSU's season, postseason
A few things to talk about this evening, though not as much as usual on a Tuesday afternoon. That's because WSU did not practice today, doing a little lifting and individual work instead. So the players were unavailable. But coach Tony Bennett did meet with the media as usual, and we have some of what he said. Read on.
• A lot of Bennett's press conference revolved around his team's improved play over the last three games. But how improved are the Cougars? Bennett kept emphasizing not that much. Not that they aren't playing well, but that they weren't playing that poorly before. "We were close," Bennett said more than once. The difference now, according to Bennett, is they are finishing games. "We've been pretty close in a lot of games," he said. "We've had chances. And that is the difference, I guess, in playing better. I've said that so many times. If you are just a little more solid, then you are that much better because you've got wins. But we've been in most games, with the exception of a poor stretch here or there. Maybe the 30-35 minutes of play has been pretty good, but it's just been the ability to finish them out. Now we've finished three of them out."
And they've finished them out in different ways, winning with offense at UCLA, with poise against Arizona and with defense against Arizona State. "That makes you feel better," Bennett said. "But it's not like we've become this way different team. Our rotation has tightened up a little bit, guys have improved little by little but it's not been that much different." In summary, there have been little incremental improvements that have added up to a big difference on the scoreboard. We are going to highlight one of those difference in a story later this week, the one we believe is the key to WSU's recent success.
• Another question posed to Bennett often today revolved around the differences in his team and UW since they met back in the first week of the Pac-10 season. "Hopefully, we've improved as this year's gone on," Bennett said, citing the improvements among the freshmen and the comfort the upperclassmen have gained with their roles. He also talked about the difference in effort and precision needed to win a Pac-10 Conference basketball game, something the freshmen were aware of intellectually but had to experience to really understand. They've experienced it 17 times now and should be better prepared for the pressure – mental and physical – UW can apply. Bennett pointed out it was 46-41 Washington with 9 minutes, 31 seconds left before the Huskies put the game away with an 9-2 mini-run fueled by a couple WSU turnovers, a defensive breakdown that led to an open Justin Dentmon 3-pointer and a couple UW offensive rebounds. "We struggled," he said. "We didn't have everybody playing at a high offensive level. Some guys were off or cold. ... And our defense didn't keep us in there well enough to handle the run they put on us."
Bennett called UW the most athletic team in the Pac-10 and gave a majority of the credit for the Huskies' success to the play of their guards. ... He also feels his team has done enough to warrant inclusion in at least the NIT no matter what happens the rest of the way. Here's a note Bennett didn't mention but I'll bring up: Last season WSU defeated three teams ranked in the top 25 when they played, finishing the year 3-6 against top 25 competition. This year the Cougars, with arguably a weaker team, have turned the trick three times as well, twice on the road. They are 3-4 after starting the season 0-4 against the top 25. Bennett won't politic for an at-large berth in the NCAAs, saying he's never been good at figuring out what a team has to accomplish to gain a nod, or the NIT. "I don't know if there is any part of it based on past years," Bennett said. "I want us to play well and wherever that puts us (is fine)."
• One last note. WSU announced Monday night the seven former Cougars chosen this year to be inducted into the athletic hall of fame. The list includes five contemporary athletes/coaches – basketball player Craig Ehlo, volleyball player Keri Killebrew, runners Peter Koech and Bernard Lagat and football coach Jim Walden – along with two pioneers – retired SID Richard "Dick" Fry and football player Duke Washington. You can read more here.
• That's it for this evening. What's coming up this week? Well, we'll have the how-have-the-Cougs-improved story along with one examining the importance of Saturday's game on WSU's postseason hopes. Plus, more thoughts here on SportsLink. And, don't forget, spring football starts in three weeks. Until later …

Let's say I have 3 main categories which can be displayed as:
<?php wp_list_cats('children=0'); ?>
When this category is clicked it shows all children of that category:
<?php wp_list_cats('&child_of='.$_GET['cat']); ?>
So far so good,
The problem is if there are multiple children of the parent, it drops the other children when one of the child links is clicked.
How would I modify the code to look for all children. Basically look back up the chain to the parent and use that catID to display all child links for the parent always.
Thanks for any help.

I am doing a bike trip in Southern Spain near Lorca- it is relatively short and I don't want to take a bike on the plane for it- I was hoping to hire locally. What are the chances of me finding a mountain bike or hiring one around there (or anywhere in Southern Spain Andalucia region).
migrated from bicycles.stackexchange.com Apr 8 '14 at 23:17
This question came from our site for people who build and repair bicycles, people who train cycling, or commute on bicycles.
I rented mountain bikes from www.bikeiberia.com in Spain! They send the bikes to you and you just send them back when you are done. The service and the bikes were excellent.

5 great Father's Day gifts for the foodie dad
Looking for that last-minute gift item for your foodie father? Well, look no further. We did the scouting for you. Here are several options to choose from.
Snack Addict's Box from Golden Fig
A visit to Golden Fig is always dangerous on the pocketbook, due to its plethora of cookbooks, oils and spices, and delicious artisan foods, many local. The Snack Addict's Box, which will run you $60, has a lovely combination of traditional snacks with a gourmet flavor. Aged white cheddar, chipotle nuts, pretzels and dipping mustard, blue tortilla chips and salsa, sunflower seeds, Hungarian salami, various dips, and dill pickle seeds are included. Smaller boxes are also available for $30 or so.
Downtown Minneapolis Food Tour
Described as "a fun cultural and culinary journey through the Twin Cities' most unique and historic neighborhoods," Cloud 9 Living's two-and-a-half- to three-hour food tour includes food tastings, and often stops at Local D'Lish, Punch Pizza, Kramaczuk's, Gorkha Palace, and Gardens of Salonica. This is a great one if you're new in town. The cost is $60 for one person or $105 for two.
Father's Day Cruise on the Mississippi
A sunset cruise on a Padelford riverboat in St. Paul includes a dinner with a Caesar salad, baked manicotti, a pot roast, roasted veggies, potatoes, coffee, and dessert. Brunch includes French toast with berries and syrup, sausage links, fresh fruit, muffins and pastries, fried potatoes, ham and turkey, various salads, scrambled eggs with cheese, salsa, ham and bacon, various salads, fruit juices, and coffee. Both cruises are about $40 per person.
Beer Brewing Class
If your dad's always wanted to learn how to brew his own brew, now you can buy him admission to Going All Grain, a four-hour class at Northern Brewer for just $15. He'll get to see the process of brewing a single-infusion, all-grain batch from beginning to end in a small group setting.
Cooks of Crocus Hill Class
Even if he's not the classroom type, a "Scotch and Steak" demonstration class at Cooks of Crocus Hill might be just what the doctor ordered. (Meats include hamburger, seared ahi tuna, and dry-aged prime rib, with mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potato fries on the side.) Or, a Build-Your-Own-Beer dinner, with more hands-on participation, and a selection of five beers to accompany chips and salsa, corn fritters, grilled flank steak, ceviche, and chocolate souffles with chili cream. Classes run about $75, and Cooks has dozens of other options.

mike and i were high school teammates, me a 5'-8", 135-lb junior scout team defensive end still two years from a growth spurt, he a 6'-plus, 200-lb-plus future big ten linebacker and high school offensive end. you can guess how that went. but mike was also super-smart and 100% team-oriented. he wasn't interested in going through the motions - he pushed me to push him back, not only for his own improvement but (i suspect) for mine, too. he wanted everyone around him to be the best, assuming (rightly) that the better each of us became, the better the whole team was.
he was as low-key a high school superstar as you will ever find, and i truly believe that's one of the reasons we made two state finals (winning one) with him as a starter. we had some tremendously talented guys on those teams - several other guys went on to play d-1 (one of them - bobby morse - went to state and killed us on the day harbaugh broke his arm and later gritted his way to the nfl for four years), but mike was ALWAYS a team guy, first and foremost. and when i joined him in ann arbor a year after he got there, he always had time to chat when we bumped into each other on campus, something that almost certainly meant more to me than to him.
tl/dr - mike was and is a true michigan man.

|you didn't even touch the two worst timeout rules.
1 - (and i admit that this may have been legislated out already and i'm just an idiot) no more timeouts if you catch the ball and call timeout from midair on your way out of bounds. the rule says you have to be in control of the ball. if you're in midair, you're not in control of the ball.
2 - no more timeouts if you're on the floor in the middle of a scrum. again, you're not in control of the ball if there's someone sitting on your thigh, or you can't pass to anyone else. call it a jump ball and check the arrow.

|oh, honestly.
why inject actual thinking into the arkansas part of the conversation? it's $2M, and god knows the department is short on cash.
what's worth more, $2M, and the possibility of maybe national exposure, if we're both good, or a game with notre dame that is absolutely guaranteed to garner national exposure and interest?
in all seriousness, it's not really an exaggeration to say that michigan vs notre dame is what college football is all about. michigan vs arkansas is not. if you told me i could get michigan vs arkansas tickets, or pay and extra $20 (after all, 100,000 fans X $20 = $2M) and get michigan vs notre dame? where do i pay?

|yeah...that was a bad example.
in my head, they were a program that came out of nowhere with the arrival of dan hawkins. but a) they were a pretty good program for several years before that, having some very good seasons with dirk koetter and the late pokey allen (in d 1-aa, but still), and b) have been able to sustain it through several regimes. that doesn't fit the 'god of the program' model i had in my head.

|the lesson, as often happens...
...is that football programs that are historically, deeply crappy and suddenly experience 'sudden' turnarounds often do so by shaky means, either via academic shenanigans or (as in the case of ole miss and baylor) 'other' stuff. recent exceptions are places like stanford (yay!) and boise, where it was the simple power of an individual, or oregon or oklahoma state, where money and facilities flooded the program.

but i agree, of course...i'm not saying he would've been all-big ten or anything, but there were at least half a dozen times this year where i couldn't help but think 'man, we could've used spike for the last four minutes."
there were a couple of times, too, where the difference between ice-cold 'freshman' duncan robinson and steady spike might have changed the game. maybe make bryn forbes work at both ends changes the flow of that game?
i don't know, man, i know it's all done, but when i look back at this season all i can think is what might have been.
|11 weeks 3 hours ago
|i'll say it again...
...if levert and spike hadn't been injured we would have challenged for the big ten title this season, and we wouldn't be having any of these "plateau" conversations.
this was a good team, despite the fact that we were missing two major contributors.

Following is a summary of current entertainment news briefs.
"Lincoln" crowned Oscar frontrunner as big directors snubbed
BEVERLY HILLS (Reuters) - Steven Spielberg's tale of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln's battle to end slavery emerged as the front-runner for Oscar glory on Thursday, after Academy Awards voters snubbed four major filmmakers for the coveted best director trophy. In an eclectic shortlist that included thrillers, a comedy, an independent film and a harrowing French-language drama, "Lincoln" won a leading 12 nominations, including the top prize - best picture - and nods for actors Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field and Tommy Lee Jones.
'Beasts,'Amour' actresses make history with Oscar nods
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Oscar presenters, pundits and fans may struggle to pronounce Quvenzhane Wallis' name, but they are going to be hearing it a lot in the next six weeks. The 9-year-old breakout star of independent film "Beasts of the Southern Wild" on Thursday was among the handful of new faces who will compete against veterans for an Oscar statuette next month.
Relatives of singer Jenni Rivera's co-passengers sue over plane crash
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Family members of four passengers who died with singer Jenni Rivera when her plane crashed in northern Mexico last year sued her corporation and the current and former owners of the aging Learjet they called a "bucket of bolts" on Thursday. The plaintiffs alleged in their Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit that the 43-year-old aircraft was unsafe and being flown by two unqualified pilots when it nosedived from 28,000 feet into mountainous terrain.
Hollywood watchers blame Washington for "Zero Dark Thirty" Oscar snub
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Kathryn Bigelow's snub by Academy Awards voters stunned her cast and awards pundits on Thursday, with some pointing the finger at Washington politicians for the "Zero Dark Thirty" director's omission from the best director Oscar shortlist. Bigelow was seen as the biggest casualty on Oscar nominations day after her controversial Osama bin Laden thriller won five nods, including best picture, but the director herself was cut out of the running for the industry's biggest honors.
Oscar nominees get kisses, hugs and whoops
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Screenwriter Tony Kushner got a kiss and a hug, actor Hugh Jackman found his first Oscar nomination "a bit surreal," and singer Adele felt a bit like screen legend Meryl Streep. This year's Oscar nominees reacted with joy, amazement and sometimes just politeness on Thursday after the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced its shortlists for the movie industry's highest honors.
Stark Austrian drama "Amour" captures five Oscar nominations
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Austrian film "Amour" scored a surprising five Oscar nominations on Thursday, positioning the drama as the front-runner to seize Best Foreign Language Film, if not more of the movie industry's most coveted prizes. "Amour," directed by Michael Haneke, was also nominated for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay, while star Emmanuelle Riva, 85, was nominated for Best Actress.
Bond foiled again in best picture Oscar mission
LONDON (Reuters) - The latest James Bond movie "Skyfall" won five Oscar nominations on Thursday, the highest tally for a 007 picture, but the major categories including best picture once again eluded the franchise that has just celebrated its 50th anniversary. Hopes had been raised by bookmakers and some film critics that one of Britain's most lucrative and best-loved cultural exports would finally make his mark at the Academy Awards at the 23rd time of asking.
News Corp's Fox leads Hollywood studios in Oscar nods
Los Angeles (Reuters) - News Corp's <NWSA.O> 20th Century Fox led the Oscars race among Hollywood studios by scoring 31 nominations, including best picture nods for both "Lincoln" and "Life of Pi," setting the stage for the box office bounces that selected films often get. The coveted nominations for the 85th annual Academy Awards, to be held on February 24, will trigger new and frenzied marketing efforts for the highlighted films, as studios jostle to take advantage of the buzz before Hollywood's biggest night.

|Member of the New Zealand Parliament
for National Party List
|Assumed office
|Personal details
|이지연 (Lee Ji-yeon)

|Political party
|New Zealand National Party
Melissa Ji-Yun Lee (Korean: 이지연, Lee Ji-yeon) (born circa 1966) is a New Zealand politician. She was elected to the House of Representatives as a list MP for the National Party in the 2008 election. As of 2015[update] she is Parliamentary Private Secretary for Ethnic Communities under Hon Sam Lotu-Iiga.[1]
Early life and career[edit]
Lee was born in South Korea and grew up in Malaysia before moving to Australia and then to New Zealand in 1988 with her family. She has a MA Hons (First Class) in Communication Studies. Based in Auckland, She spent twenty three years in journalism including a five-year stint at the Sunday News and writing for numerous publications including the New Zealand Herald and The Listener.[2] She was also the producer of the TV magazine series, Asia Downunder.[3]
Member of Parliament[edit]
|Parliament of New Zealand
|2011 – 2014
|2014 – present
In November 2008, Lee became a List MP in the New Zealand Parliament. Her maiden speech included sections in English, Māori, and Korean. In English, she mentioned crime, education, and anti-Asian racism issues in New Zealand. In the Māori section, she mentioned the history of Māori first coming to New Zealand by canoe from Hawaiki and compared it to her own migration to New Zealand by aeroplane. Near the end of her speech, she thanked, in Korean, all the people that had given her support "simply by virtue of [their] shared heritage".[4]
Lee became the second Korean, and first Korean woman, to win election to a non-Korean national legislature. (The first Korean elected to a foreign national-level office, Jay Kim, became a member of the United States House of Representatives in 1992.)[5]
A poll conducted between 10 December 2008 and 19 April 2009 by the Spanish newspaper, 20 minutos (20 minutes) ranked Lee as the world's 51st most beautiful female politician.[6][7]
First Term and Mt Albert By-election[edit]
During the first months of entering Parliament two Conscience votes were taken, Melissa Lee voted against the Misuse of Drugs (Medicinal Cannabis) Amendment Bill and the Liquor Advertising (Television and Radio) Bill.
On 16 April 2009, Lee announced her candidacy for the National Party nomination in the Mount Albert by-election 2009.[8] She defeated the previous local National candidate, Ravi Musuku, to win selection for the National Party on 4 May 2009.
On 13 May 2009 Lee told a candidates' meeting that the SH20 Waterview Connection could divert criminals from South Auckland away from the electorate. Lee apologised the next day, saying "if South Auckland people (find) my comments offensive, I apologise. It wasn't about them. It was about criminals." Prime Minister John Key later said the remark was a "stupid statement to make".[9] Later that day she apologised again saying, "I apologise unreservedly for the comments I made regarding South Auckland... I sincerely regret my remarks."[10] In the by-election, Lee attracted only 3,542 votes, coming a distant second to Labour's David Shearer's 13,260 votes.
During the By election, allegations were made in May 2009 that Lee's production company Asia Vision had spent New Zealand on Air money making a promotional video for the National Party ahead of the 2008 election. Lee called the allegations "ridiculous", saying that all work on the video was done by volunteers. The Green Party referred the video to the Electoral Commission, saying that it should have been declared as an election expense. [11] [12] An investigation conducted by New Zealand on Air later cleared Lee of the charge of misuse of funding.[13]
Later in 2009 Lee used NZ$100,000 of contingency funding to increase the markup for Asia Downunder in violation of her contract with New Zealand on Air, which she described as "an innocent error".[14]
In April 2011 Lee courted controversy when, after she had made a speech supporting the controversially rushed-through copyright law 92A,[15] it emerged that hours earlier she had tweeted "Ok. Shower... Reading ... And then bed! listening to a compilation a friend did for me of K Pop. Fab. Thanks Jay."[16] which appeared to contradict her stance on law 92A.[17]
Election Results[edit]
At the 2011 election she increased her electoral vote from the 2009 Byelection and the National Party vote came within 150 votes of Labour's, but Lee failed for a second time to take the seat with Shearer retaining the seat by 10,021. At the 2014 Election Lee again failed to win the seat with a 10,656 vote win for Shearer, a moderate decrease on the previous election but substantially increased the party vote, winning the party vote by 3536.[18] [19]
50th and 51st Parliaments[edit]
On 20 December 2011 John Key announced that Lee and John Hayes would become Parliamentary Private Secretaries, a role not in use for several years. Key appointed her to the portfolio of Ethnic Affairs, given the heavy workload of Judith Collins as the newly appointed Minister of Justice. During the 50th Parliament Lee was appointed to Chair the Social Services Select Committee.
There were several conscience votes during the 50th Parliament surrounding issues of the legal alcohol purchase age and Same-Sex Marriage. In these votes Lee voted against the Marriage (Definition of Marriage) Amendment Bill and voted in favour of retaining the Alcohol Purchase age at 18 in the Alcohol Reform Bill.
After the 2014 election, Lee was appointed to Chair the Commerce Select Committee while also retaining her position as Parliamentary Private Secretary for Ethnic Communities, the position being renamed to reflect the change in name of the eponymous Ministry and Minister, Lee has been joined by Jacqui Dean as a Parliamentary Private Secretary since the retirement of John Hayes at the 2014 Election. Lee also has one Private Members Bill awaiting draw in the Ballot- The Accident Compensation (Recent Migrants and Returning New Zealanders) Amendment Bill [20]

Age is a politically incorrect subject among 30-something athletes, and even more so to those in the Outer Limits -- 40 and up.
So when Mike Mussina is asked about his surprising numbers this year, he fires off a question in return. "Is it surprising because I'm getting old?"
The Yankee right-hander smiles, of course, feigning that he's taken offense. He knows the odds were against a turnaround season in 2006, especially after suffering a mysterious elbow injury last summer.
But Mussina and Tom Glavine are both proving it's never too late to discover a new pitch, or a different pitching philosophy. In Mussina's case, a late-diving changeup has strengthened his fastball, helping him keep the American League to a .218 average, the lowest of his career.
And Glavine now throws a curveball that keeps right-handed hitters honest on the inside corner. Even though the Mets lefty stumbled against the Phillies on Tuesday night, allowing four home runs in a no-decision, he nevertheless was the major league's first nine-game winner and is fueling what's turning into a runaway summer for the Mets.
"I guess the biggest difference is that I'm putting doubt in a hitter's head as to what pitches I'm going to throw and when," Glavine said before the Mets' 9-7 win at Citizens Bank Park.
Specifically, Glavine works up and down in the strike zone -- changing a hitter's eye level from pitch to pitch -- instead of inside and outside as he did for so many years. That's the adaptation Glavine has been forced to make in the QuesTec era, when umpires all but eliminated the corner strike.
Glavine used to prosper by whispering his changeup over the black, getting panicked hitters to chase as they went deeper into the count. "Expanding the zone," is how he describes it. But with that option no longer available, Glavine now concentrates on varying high and low strikes.
"It's not just a change of speeds anymore, but a change of elevation, too," he said. "It wasn't an easy adjustment because I never had to worry about it. But it's coming."
Indeed, Glavine's former manager, Bobby Cox, said last month, "Tommy's throwing the ball as well now as he ever has. We just can't hit him."
Mussina, by contrast, already had one of the game's deepest arsenals, featuring that crazy knuckle-curve that's poison to most hitters. But a creaky elbow robbed him of precious miles per hour off his fastball late last summer. After returning from the disabled list in August, Mussina allowed the American League to bat .314 against him, resulting in a 6.53 ERA.
By October, Mussina's vulnerabilities were on full display. He allowed the Angels five runs in 2 2/3 innings in Game 5 of the Division Series, ending the Yankees' season.
This spring, however, Mussina's universe had morphed, almost as if he were in a time tunnel.
"I'm doing some different things, throwing a few more changeups," Mussina said. "But the big thing is I felt good coming out of spring. I was throwing the ball right. So in April, it didn't feel like it was already the middle of the season. I felt better between starts. Throwing 80 pitches didn't feel like it was 115."
With an 8-2 record, Mussina has replaced Randy Johnson as the Yankees' ace, and his 2.76 ERA places him third in the AL behind Jose Contreras and Roy Halladay. Mussina is also second in the league in strikeouts, but more importantly, his strikeouts to innings ratio is better than it's been in four years.
"Mike has gotten to the point where he can look at a spot [in the strike zone] and hit it," says Yankees manager Joe Torre. "He's not trying to manufacture velocity anymore. He's got it now."
Glavine and Mussina aren't alone in finding new weapons. Here's a small sample of other, older players who are experiencing a rebirth of their own.
Curt Schilling: There were plenty of questions whether the Red Sox's ace, who will turn 40 in November, would rebound after a subpar 2005 season. Schilling was bothered by chronic ankle problems, and was never in good enough shape to keep his ERA from surging to a career-high 5.69.
This year, however, Schilling's ERA is more than two runs lower, while the American League batting average against him has dropped by almost 70 points. Schilling has stabilized Boston's rotation, which has been undercut by Josh Beckett's 5.26 ERA, David Wells' chronic knee problems and the fact that Matt Clement (6.68 ERA) has pitched into the seventh inning just once this season.
Schilling is so in sync, he didn't walk a batter in five starts before finally issuing one in eight innings on Tuesday against Minnesota.
Nomar Garciaparra: Garciaparra, who will turn 33 next month, is a tale of two players. The one who's been chronically injured since 2001, and the hitting machine who's finally gotten healthy in 2006 and has regained his place among the game's elite hitters.
Garciaparra's .359 average would be tops in the National League, were it not for a muscle strain earlier in the season that kept him out of the lineup and robbed him of the necessary at-bats to qualify. Still, the Dodgers have seen enough of the converted first baseman in his 181 at-bats to know the former American League batting champion has regained his touch.
"People who are expecting him to fade are going to be waiting a long time," Derek Lowe said recently, emphasizing Garciaparra's average -- 38 points above his career mark -- is no fluke.
"This is who he is," Lowe said.
Garciaparra told the AP his renaissance can be traced to two factors: being healthy and returning to his West Coast roots.
"I've been happy other places," Garciaparra said. "I loved Chicago, I loved Boston. [But] now I'm home."
Tom Gordon: At 38, Gordon has reinvented himself not just as the Phillies' closer, but one of the most efficient ninth-inning specialists in the National League. That's no small achievement given his age, and the fact that he'd spent two years serving as Mariano Rivera's set-up man in the Bronx.
The Yankees liked Gordon's fastball and old-fashioned 12-to-6 curveball, and tried to sign him to another two-year contract. But Gordon wanted to go back to closing, which he had mostly done from 1998 through 2003. Setting up for Rivera only whetted his appetite for his old job description.
"Mariano works so hard, he expects so much from himself," Gordon said. "He helped me understand I'm the same way."
Gordon has been almost perfect so far, converting on 18 of 19 save opportunities, allowing just 17 hits in 28 innings while striking out 37.

Moonshine Tavern in Canton
Sometimes it seems that bars change hands in the blink of an eye.
By Jess Mayhugh. Posted on February 28, 2013, 2:30 pm
Sometimes it seems that bars change hands in the blink of an eye. Such is the case for Moonshine Tavern, which replaced The Gin Mill on Boston Street in Canton. The owners of The Gin Mill closed down the bar in January after nearly 16 years of service in order to focus their attention on their full-time real estate work.
Less than a month later, Moonshine Tavern opened up and I got a chance to get to the bar last night. Thankfully, the layout remains pretty much the same with the dominating square-shaped bar in the center and exposed brick and chalkboards throughout. The booths by the window were replaced with high-top tables and the entrance to the back dining room is opened up.
Naturally, we wanted to check out the "moonshine" menu, which contains more than 20 concoctions of high-proof liquor infused with ingredients like brown sugar, cherries, and honey. For $18, you can get a moonshine sampler, pictured, with five shots to try.
We sampled the MBR Kentucky Black Dog and MBR Apple Pie (out of Pembroke, Kentucky). The Black Dog, at 90 proof, was a little too smoky for our taste, but scotch drinkers would like. The apple pie (a more modest 44 proof) was delicious with apple cider, brown sugar, and pie spice flavors.
Additionally, we tried the Ole Smoky Peach and Ole Smoky Blackberry (both 40 proof) out of Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The peach was a little on the sweet side, but the blackberry infusion was perfectly tart. If you're feeling adventurous, you could try High West Silver Oat, a 176-proof unaged oat whiskey out of Park City, Utah. We didn't push our luck.
Of course, there is also a full menu of cocktails and draft and bottled beers. On-tap selections included Racer 5 IPA, Allagash White, and Flying Dog's Raging Bitch. The food menu is distinctively New Orleans influenced and both the burger and catfish po'boy were excellent options.
All in all, we applaud the newest addition to Boston Street for thinking a bit outside the box. It's nice to see a creative new place instead of another cookie-cutter establishment.

Interesting area of subjective preference to consider, slow versus fast decay. Perhaps I have misunderstood, but when I hear decay discussed in threads typically faster decay is represented as better decay. Perhaps this is an area where individual differences are stronger than typically thought. I must admit some slow, rumbling bass decay is often something I like.

def the most controlled bass I have heard to date. Maybe its just not as strong as you'd like. Too fast to have weight when the bass lines arent mixed right.
For me I want to blame the mix of the songs more than the headphones themselves.

A much delayed followup to my comparison between HE-5LE, HE-560 v1, and LCD-3F. This will be TL; DR for many people, but I want to tell the whole story.
For background, I've owned the HE-5LE since 2011; it was my first planar headphone. My headphone rig consists of a Woo Audio WA6-SE (Princess + 6EW7 + BG cap upgrades), VPI Scout + Phonomena 2 for analog sources, and SqueezeBox Touch + Cambridge DACMagic for digital. I assembled this system as my first "serious" headphone system, mostly because my lovely spouse does not appreciate playback on the main (loudspeaker) system much above background music levels. Also, inexplicably, she hates the Beatles. So headphones became a necessity to maintain domestic bliss. I listen to a variety of music, but mostly jazz and well-mastered rock and folk music.
I've always enjoyed the HE-5LE, finding it capable of resolving incredible detail, especially in vocals and string instruments. Imaging is very good, with a wide and deep soundstage. But on the flip side, I would describe its character as a bit dry and analytical, with slightly too-bright treble for my taste. And something was missing from the bass—hard to put a finger on it, but I'd say the bass lacks a warmth or "bloom" that you hear in live or well-reproduced music through loudspeakers. I'm hardly a bass fanatic, but with many genres of music I believe bass is a critical foundation, and it's not quite right coming from the HE5-LE.
I first heard the HE-560 at CES earlier this year. Despite it being a prototype and hearing it on a crowded show floor, I was impressed enough that I asked the HFM rep "How soon can I buy this?" I pre-ordered in April and was excited to receive my pre-order HE-560 in May.
HE-560 preorder arrives
Initial listening did not disappoint. The HE-560 is definitely a step up from the HE5-LE: Smoother treble without any loss of detail, punchier bass, an extremely wide and open soundstage. The imaging is almost surreal—the widest and most open soundstage I've heard in headphones. I don't know if there's a HiFiMAN "house sound" but clearly the HE-560 is an evolution of its older brother, sharing many qualities but substantially improved in several ways.
Beyond sound quality, I was disappointed: The teak cups were already cracking, the yokes were scratching the cups, and the finishing of the ear pads was shoddy at best. Regardless of how it sounded, it just didn't look or feel like a $900 headphone. I won't belabor this point--we all know by now HFM changed the design--but long story short, my enthusiasm for the HE-560 was soured by poor manufacturing quality and lack of attention to QC, followed by a lackluster response from HFM customer service. At this point I knew the pre-order was going back, so it was a question of whether I replace it with HE-560 v2 or something else.
HE-560 vs Audeze LCD
Which led me to auditioning the Audeze LCD line. At my local dealer (Ahead Stereo in Los Angeles) they had LCD-2F, LCD-3F, and LCD-XC in stock, but no LCD-X. I brought my HE-560 and spent an hour or so comparing each headphone back-to-back. Between the LCD models, there was no comparison; I felt the LCD-3 was the best. It was also beautifully made. Enough has been said elsewhere about Audeze build quality, but bottom line, I was impressed. So I paid for the LCD-3 and took it home in the nice Pelican case (every manufacturer should do this!) for an extended comparison, still unsure if I would keep it long term.
Back at home, I spent a couple of weeks in longer listening sessions with both HE-560 and LCD-3. They are very different headphones, each with a substantially different presentation. As objectively as possible, I'll characterize each as follows:
HE-560 impressions
- Open, airy soundstage. Very wide but not quite as tall.
- Good separation of instruments, very three-dimensional
- Pleasant treble "sparkle" but definitely not excessively bright
- Quick, punchy bass, but somewhat inconsistent response. On some tracks bass was lacking, other times it was very full. Never quite figured this out.
- Detailed and textured representation of vocals, but slightly dry, with just a touch of harshness on some tracks
- Extremely comfortable to wear (I had no issues with the ear pads)
LCD-3F compared to HE-560
- Smaller soundstage. Coming directly from the HE-560, it sounds a bit congested at first. Over time I decided the LCD-3 sounds like a small concert hall, whereas the HE-560 is like an outdoor concert.
- Less separation of instruments, but a more cohesive image; overall a more dense presentation
- Very smooth treble. Still detailed, but less analytical.
- Quick bass, with less attack than the HE-560, but otherwise warmer and fuller. Maybe slightly rolled off at the very bottom, but to no ill effect. To me the LCD-3 has the most natural bass reproduction I've heard in headphones.
- Liquid-smooth and natural reproduction of vocals
- Somewhat comfortable to wear. The weight is noticeable, especially if I'm moving around or looking down at my laptop, the headphones will slide on my head. But the leather ear pads are amazingly comfortable.
Given the very different sonic signatures of these two headphones, it comes down to preference. For me personally, I find the LCD-3 more musically satisfying; I forget about the headphones and get lost in the music, tapping my toes more. Wearing the HE-560, I remain focused on various discrete attributes of the sound, almost as if the headphones are constantly surprising me with their presentation of the music. Don't get me wrong—many of those attributes are very positive, but overall, it's a less musically coherent experience listening through the HE-560.
In the end, I returned the HE-560 for a refund (but paid shipping both ways) and kept the LCD-3. From my point of view, HFM is clearly innovating and improving the state of the art in planar headphones, but they need to focus on improving quality control. Many of the recent comments in this thread highlighting irregularities in the production model seem to underscore this point. I sincerely hope they get the bugs worked out…

Audeze headphones aren't really cost effective when it comes to their audio performance. A whole lot of that money goes into the build and presentation of them. The pelican case alone is not cheap.

The size, weight and clamp of the Audez'e was to much for this kid. Ortho's have to run in.... you can't take it out of the box and have the sound property nailed down. I've had two 800's (one hard wired ALO for balanced) the T-1 and Audies. The HE-560 and Alpha Dog are the only two I'll keep........

Originally created as an office tool, PowerPoint is now widely used as a communicative application. PowerPoint presentation can either be used subjectively to share, express or support one's opinions or objectively to show the market statues of certain goods using data and charts. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to assert that impressive PowerPoint presentation is the first step to success. Of course, to make successful and persuasive presentation, one needs to learn skills about presentation time management. In fact, presentation time management can at times be the most important factor of a good presentation.
How to manage presentation time when time limitation is provided? When indulging in the presentations, presenters tend to be too talkative to remember the time rule. In most cases, they can't be hinted by the clock because there is none and they can't refer to the watch because it is impolite. Therefore, the only solution for them is to set slide transition time of the PowerPoint presentation. In fact, this method not only improves their presentation time management skills, but also promotes their presenting efficiency. Therefore, this post will cover two methods to help presenters set slide transition time with PowerPoint 2013.
Method One: Rehearsal Timings in PowerPoint 2013
As the latest version of PowerPoint, PowerPoint 2013 can be used as a tool for presentation time management. With a function named "Rehearsal Timings", users are allowed to preview the presentation and even set slide transition time of the presentation with PowerPoint 2013. When the preview ends, PowerPoint 2013 will keep the recorded transition time of each slide for further use.
Step 1: After installing PowerPoint 2013, open the presentation with it and click "SLIDE SHOW" tab in the panel. Then click "Rehearsal Timings" icon to begin the process of setting slide transition time.
Step 2: After that, users are allowed to preview the presentation with a Recording panel. The panel will record the time one has taken in each slide respectively.
Step 3: After finishing the presentation rehearsal, a dialog box will pop out. Click "OK" button to keep the customized slide transition time for further use.
Method Two: Convert PowerPoint to DVD movie
Another way to manage presentation time is to convert PowerPoint to DVD movie. In this way, users are not only allowed to take control of the presenting process in an easy way, but also attach innovations and creativity to the PowerPoint presentation. Of course, to manage the conversion from PowerPoint to DVD movie, users need to find a PPT to DVD converter like Moyea PPT to DVD Burner which can be used to set slide transition time of the presentation.
Step 1: Download and launch Moyea PPT to DVD Burner. Open it, click "Import" tab and choose "Add" button to import the PowerPoint for conversion.
Step 2: After the importing process, click "Customize" button to enter into Edit Slide Properly panel. Then customize the transition time of each slide in Transition section and click "OK" button.
Step 3: Then click "Burn" tab and choose "Start" button to begin the conversion from PowerPoint to DVD movie. When the conversion ends, users have finished the process of setting slide transition time of the presentation.

Images of leprechauns and clover may dance in listeners' heads after listening to Neville Jason's reading of the second part of White's Once and Future King. Jason amplifies the twee aspect of his reading to an overwhelming extent, sounding like a parody of an Irishman at times-a strange fit for this most famous of English stories. When Jason settles down, and cuts back on the whimsy, his reading proceeds far better, settling into a comfortable routine. But such periods, however long they may last, are inevitably interrupted by Jason's simpering and cooing. The fault may possibly lie with White, and his taste for overripe dialogue, but listening to Jason read it is more of a challenge than simply reading it on the page.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets have waived cornerback Marquice Cole to make room for the reinstatement of suspended defensive end Shaun Ellis.
Ellis was suspended for the first game of the season and fined $100,000 by the NFL for violating the league's substance-abuse policy last season.
Ellis was arrested last November and charged with possession of marijuana, speeding and driving without insurance after being pulled over by police in Hanover, N.J., a few miles from the team's training facility in Florham Park.
He's expected to play in the Jets' home opener against New England on Sunday.
Cole, signed as a free agent in February, was inactive for the Jets' 24-7 win at Houston on Sunday.
