Bradley Goodson led off the 11th inning with a double to left field, and the Bulldogs intentionally walked Murray. In the next at bat, Daniel Aldrich popped a bunt over the charging Bulldog third baseman, but Goodson had to hold at second to check the play and he was forced out at third. With one out and two on, Harding singled through the left side and Murray motored around third for the game-winning run.
College of Charleston (29-12, 17-7) has now swept four conference series and won five straight games including a win at No. 8 South Carolina. The weekend marked the first time that the Cougars have swept The Citadel (17-24, 7-11) since 2008 when the Cougars won three at Patriots Point. The game started at 6:15 p.m. after a five-hour rain delay.
Harding finished the day with a 4-for-6 mark at the plate, tying his career high of four hits that he set last year against The Citadel. The senior infielder tallied three RBIs including the game-winner while also scoring a run.
Senior Marty Gantt concluded his outstanding weekend with a 3-for-5 day at the plate with a run scored. Gantt finished the weekend hitting .692 (9-13) with three doubles, four RBI, four runs and two stolen bases.
Murray went 1-of-2 with two runs, including the game-winner, while Goodson tallied two hits with a run and an RBI.
CofC starter Matt Pegler went 5.2 innings, allowing five runs, three earned, on six hits in picking up the no-decision. Kyle Owings pitched well in relief by blanking the Bulldogs for 3.1 innings and picking up three strikeouts. David Peterson (1-1) came on in the extra innings and picked up the win.
The Citadel starter Logan Cribb lasted just four innings, allowing five runs on eight hits. T.J. Clarkson (1-4) pitched the final two innings and allowed the game-winning run for the loss.
The Cougars scored first on an RBI single from Harding in the first inning, but the Bulldogs fought back with two runs on two hits with a Cougar error in the top of the second.
Harding tied the game up in the third inning with yet another RBI single, this time scoring Murray from second base. The Cougars took the lead with a two-run fourth inning as Goodson singled to score Devon Reed and Murray hit a sacrifice fly to score Gantt.
Jimmy Holton picked up a groundout RBI in the fifth inning to put the Cougars up 5-2 and seemingly in control. However, the Bulldogs rallied to tie the game in the sixth inning with a three-RBI hit from Hughston Armstrong that unloaded the bases and tied the game at five apiece.
College of Charleston had opportunities with runners in scoring position and less than two out in the ninth, 10th and 11th innings, but it wasn't until Harding's base hit could the Cougars finally plate the winning run.
The win was the second walk-off win for CofC this season as the Cougars are now 2-1 in extra-inning games. The contest also marked the first time in the rich history of the College of Charleston-Citadel baseball series that any game has gone to extra innings.
College of Charleston will not play a mid-week game this week for the first time since February as the Cougars prepare for a crucial series at Western Carolina starting on Friday.

Reviewed by Alan. Review Posted 11/10/2012
Bought this drive as a backup that could be plugged into my router and therefore central to all pcs, the drive itself is good, but the software which is supposed to enable you to access your files from anywhere is hopeless, spoke to buffalo, who suggested a couple of things, they didnt work, they said that was all they could do and blamed Virgin (my ISP). Virgin then said they wont support Third Party devices, so there you have it, manufacturer isnt interested cos they have your money and thats it for them, and Virgin just dont care less (they also have your money). So if you take my advice, I really wouldnt bother with this drive. There are many forums with many more people saying the same thing.

The problem is, 5 months old, and error code E30. Customer Support were great in helping identify HDD Fault and return product after an emergency overnight extraction of all of the data.

1a.Objectives (from AD-416)
Introduce genes that may play a role in determining cold hardiness levels, such as the blueberry CBF gene isolated by ARS, into southern and northern highbush cultivars to test their function.
1b.Approach (from AD-416)
Function of cold-responsive genes, such as the CBF gene, that have been isolated from blueberry flower buds, will be tested for their role in determining cold tolerance in blueberry. Constructs designed to over express and/or knock out expression of certain genes will be introduced into appropriate southern and northern highbush cultivars by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Introduction of the gene(s) will be confirmed by GUS assays, PCR, Southern blotting, etc. Expression of genes will be monitored by quantitative RT-PCR. Freeze tolerance of transgenic plants will be determined first by a controlled laboratory freeze together with an electrolyte leakage assay using leaf tissue. Later, as plants mature, freeze tolerance of flower buds will be determined visually by combining the controlled freeze together with dissection of buds and looking for browning. In this way, it will be determined if the introduced gene(s) result in an increase or decrease in freeze tolerance as compared to control levels.

Augusta, Ga--When you think athletics in the CSRA, one of the last schools you think of is Davidson, you know, the fine arts school. But in the pool this weekend, one young lady will be vying for a state title and making history at the same time.
Lindsay Wallace is only a freshmen and when she gets in the pool this weekend, she'll be the first female Titan to be part of the state swim meet. Wallace has actually had one heck of a year in winning all 14 races she was in this year. She also qualifed for states in eight different events, though she can only swim in two during the meeet, that being the 500 and 200 freestyle.
"It's pretty exciting because like at school everyone is like congratulations and everything." said Lindsay Wallace "I was deciding on 500 or 100 freestyle. Like I knew the 200 free was definite, but then I didn't know either 500 or 100 then I decided 500 because this season I've been getting better at like longer distance stuff."
"She has such great range" said Adam Byars "She can do the really short stuff, she can do the really long stuff and kind of everywhere in between and certainly a strength"
Her qualifying time in the 500 is actually sixth fastest in the state this year and in line to qualify for both finals. Despite being just 14 she has a background in competiting in triathlons which has certainly helped her endurance. State swim meet is Friday and Saturday at Georgia Tech.

LOS ANGELES -- The Warriors have registered a few stinkers this season, and the usual response is to write it off as an off night, which happens on occasion in an 82-game season.
But after Saturday's 115-89 thrashing by the Los Angeles Clippers, in which the Warriors trailed by as much as 39, Golden State was singing a different tune.
"Of course this will stick with us. We've got to remember," Warriors forward Carl Landry said, flashing a sneaky grin as if he were holding something back. "We've got to let this one go. We've got a different team to play, focus on them. But when the opportunity comes again to play the Clippers, we've got to deliver."
The Clippers beat the Warriors as if they'd stolen something, snapping Golden State's four-game win streak.
The Warriors (22-11) had won the teams' first two meetings this season, one at Staples in early November and handily Wednesday at Oracle Arena. And Los Angeles played as if it had a score settle.
And the Warriors played as if they had a game to throw away. They showed none of the fight that got them a season-high 12 games over .500. And midway through the third quarter, the Clippers were catching alley-oops and styling as though they wanted to rub it in the Warriors' faces.
"It's not fun seeing that at all," Warriors guard Klay Thompson said. "You've got to remember that."
Clippers guard Chris Paul, who was lit up for 31 points by Warriors point guard Stephen Curry in Oakland, had the most effortless 27 points and nine assists you'll ever see. Los Angeles star forward Blake Griffin, who was dominated by David Lee the first two games, looked like the superstar of the two, totaling 20 points, seven assists and five rebounds in 30 minutes.
The Clippers shot better than 60 percent most of the night. Running their offense through Griffin, they shot 65.2 percent in the opening quarter. Griffin not only scored easily against the Warriors' post defense but also had little trouble finding his teammates when the double team came.
Through three quarters, the Clippers had 103 points on 58.3 percent shooting with 26 assists. Golden State not only was porous defensively but also got bullied on the boards (41-30).
"They got over 30 points in three different quarters," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "That is not our brand of defense, and that is not our style of play."
And the Warriors had no chance of outscoring the Clippers on Saturday.
From the very outset, they were ice cold. The Warriors' three key scorers -- Curry, Lee and Thompson -- were 1 of 13 combined in the opening period. Golden State missed 18 of its first 22 shots and went into the second quarter down 35-12.
Eric Bledsoe epitomized the kind of night the Clippers were having when he heaved a desperation 26-footer to beat the shot clock -- and it banked in. After a Curry turnover, Matt Barnes pushed the lead to 54-31 with a 3-pointer at the 5:29 mark of the quarter. Golden State went into the locker room down 24.
"Wednesday's game is pretty fresh in our minds," Griffin said. "They outplayed us, and they deserved to win. We wanted to come out and set the tone early and not back down at all. Take the fight to them."
Paul said the Warriors, in their November win at Staples Center, acted like they'd "won the NBA finals." Barnes, a former Warrior, said during a halftime TV interview that the Clippers took Wednesday's loss "personally."
It appeared that way with 5:26 left in the third quarter. The Warriors were down 32, and Jackson took out Curry and Lee. But Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro left in his starters. Moments later, the Clippers bench celebrated after Paul threw back-to-back alley-oops to DeAndre Jordan.
Jackson shot a long stare at the Clippers bench.
"Just a good old-fashioned, heavyweight championship stare-down," Jackson said. "That's all."
No, the Warriors won't be forgetting this one.

The Bay Area's microchip industry had a tough year in 2012, suffering a 5.5 percent year-over-year drop in sales and a plunge in profits of nearly 38 percent.
The fiscal stumble wasn't unprecedented for the sector, which is comprised of dozens of corporations ranging from such prominent names as Intel (INTC), Advanced Micro Devices and Cypress Semiconductor to the lesser-known Micrel, InvenSense and Exar. The industry's sales fell about 15 percent in 2009, 8 percent in 2008, 6 percent in 2002 and 25 percent during the 2001 dot-com debacle.
But the sector's problems were particularly notable this time, because 2012 was generally considered a year of economic recovery and the rest of the companies that make up this newspaper's SV150 index had a combined 9 percent increase in sales last year.
About a third of the index is comprised of companies that sell chips used in everything from personal computers and smartphones to data-center servers and automobiles. Although they generated nearly $93 billion in sales in 2012, that represented a 3 percent drop from the previous year and their profit fell 32 percent to $12.6 billion.
The story was more troubling for the eight companies in the index that sell equipment for making microchips. Their $15.5 billion in sales represented a 17 percent annual decrease. Worse, their profit tumbled 73 percent to just under $800 million.
Jonathan Davis of the industry association SEMI, said supplying equipment for chip manufacturing is a highly cyclical business and 2012 happened to be a down year. But the market should brighten in 2013, he said, noting, "we're starting to see more optimistic signs in recent months in improved bookings for North American equipment makers."
Chip sellers should do better this year, too, said Linley Gwennap, an analyst with the Linley Group.

TAKING THE TEETH OUT OF DEADLY HIGHWAY93 Dixon: A combination of tougher traffic law enforcement and increasing caution among drivers is seen as the reason for the third straight death-free month on reservation roads. Tribal Lawand Order reports that there were no fatal accidents on reservation roads and highways during November. Nor were there any deaths during October or September. The number of accidents on reservation roads had also declined in November. During September there were 28, October had 32 and November had 26. The Law and Order monthly traffic safety report, however, noted that there were 58 persons involved and 16 injured in accidents during November. Tribal Police Chief Lloyd Jackson does not feel that the astounding quarterly highway safety record is luck. He said that law enforcement on the reservation...primarily tribal police and state Highway Patrol...were "cracking down on speeders, reckless drivers and drunks." He also credited "a new awareness of driver safety" Highways (page 8 and 9) THE NEWSPAPER OF THE SALISH, PEND'd ORIELLES AND KOOTENAI TRIBES OF THE FLATHEAD RESERVATION 15 C HAR-KOOSTA VOLUME 4 NUMBER 16 FULL MOON OF CONTINUOUS SNOW (December 15,1974) COUNCIL, BIA FOCUS ON FORESTRY Ronan: "We are going to have to decide how our forests can be managed for the greatest economic benefit to the Tribe, keeping in mind sound conservation practices." That is the way Tribal Councilman Tom "Bearhead" Swa-ney characterized the objective of a series of special meetings between the Council and BIA foresters on resource management problems. During the first of the series, held at the Bureau Agency Headquarters in Ronan, Dec. 9., the Council outlined several areas where conflicts exist between current forestry practices and other uses of reservation timber lands. Councilman Vic Stinger, Pablo, noted that among the most important of these management problems was game and wildlife. Stinger said that the current forestry plan did not "seem to take in the value and importance of big game management to the Tribes". He specifically pointed out timber sale scheduling ...which, as in the case of the scheduled Irvine and Revais creek sales, can leave entire game ranges under intensive logging or barren of cover. Stinger also said that BIA logging road policy created too much pressure on game. Tribal Member Thurman Tros-per, who is currently President of the National Wilderness Association, agreed, noting that "roads are always inimical to elk . . . lots of roads, no elk!' Swaney pointed out that the main reason that game is not being considered in the forestry plan is due to the Council's inability to act as both policy makers and managers. "We can't make policy because we don't know anything about forestry or business," he said. He suggested that the Council carefully consider establishing a resource or business board "which would act as a buffer between us (the Council) and business enterprises". He said the Council would still have the power to make general policy but the Board would interpret policy into a management plan and oversee forestry operations. Trosper disagreed, saying that the Council was already in the position to set sound policy and he argued that policy should have political considerations. Trosper agreed with Swaney, however, that the Council cannot both set policy and act as managers and suggested that instead of a resource board, the Council hire a resource manager whose job would be to see that specific Council policy be implemented on a day to day basis. Trosper said that a unit-by-unit management plan....tailored to the specific needs of each area..... be worked out between the Council, a tribal forest manager and BIA forestry. Trosper, who is also a former Superintendent of the Bitter-root National Forest in Southwestern Montana, says that other forest products should be carefully considered in a management plan. He noted that the highest annual net gain for forest lands comes from Christmas Tree cutting rather than saw-log management. He proposed that Christmas Tree production be emphasized in overall and specific unit plans. Other areas of forest land management which were cited as problems are: (continued on page 2) NO X-MAS PER CAPITA PAYMENT Dixon: Many people around the reservation, and probably elsewhere, are wondering what has become of the annual Christmas per-capita payment this year. A year ago, each tribal member received a $240 Christmas present from the tribe on Dec. 23. In previous years smaller per-capitas had also been distributed in December. So what happened to Santa Clause this year? Tribal Secretary Fred Houle explained that a 1972 council resolution provides for a single annual payment in August based on the actual tribal income for the preceeding year. The resolution, according to Houle, replaced a policy of making quarterly payments projected on the estimated income for ensuing quarter. One of the quarterly payments was issued in December for the months of January, February and March. Houle said the old system X-mas Present (see page 2)

Anti-gambling Democrat explains vote for casino

The bill that I voted for at least provides tough new regulation on gambling instead of the lax system we have now, and millions of dollars specifically for addition prevention and treatment.

Elmo Scandal Puts Millions of Dollars at Risk for Sesame Street Brand
This week, long-time puppeteer Kevin Clash resigned from his job as the voice of Elmo amid controversial sexual allegations–and experts say the scandal could put millions of dollars at risk for the Sesame Street brand.
Jim Silver, editor-in-chief of the consumer website TimeToPlayMag.com, says Elmo is between 50% to 75% of the roughly $500 million in annual retail sales for Sesame Street games, videos and apparel items featuring its characters.
"Kids loved Elmo the most," Silver said. "Elmo is an American icon."
Clash, 52 years-old, was Elmo's puppeteer for 28 years. He resigned following allegations he had sexual relationships with minors. Clash's first accuser alleged, then recanted an accusation that he had an affair with Clash when he was 16 years-old. A second accuser, 24 year-old Cecil Singleton, filed a lawsuit against Clash on Tuesday seeking $5 million in damages, claiming that Clash of seduced him when he was 15 years-old via a gay chat line.
Clash's representative and Sesame Workshop didn't respond to a request to comment for this story.
Silver said it was necessary that Clash resign to in order to preserve the brand. "When they parted ways with Kevin Clash, that's a statement that Kevin Clash is not Elmo and Elmo will go on without Kevin Clash."
"Elmo is a teaching program and a major influence on younger kids," Silver said. "I think if you saw Kevin Clash continue and this whole scandal played out through the holiday you would have had a significant affect on Elmo sales."
In an earlier story in Speakeasy, Michael Davis, who wrote the bestselling book, "Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street," expressed doubt that Sesame Street could replace Clash. "Elmo is a projection of Kevin Clash's sensibilities. Kevin thinks like Elmo, his inner voice is Elmo," Davis said.

Soaring Gas Prices
Published: Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 12:03 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 12:03 a.m.
Can someone explain to me why the price of gas is increasing so fast? Can a station raise its prices on a weekend?
A station located at the corner of County Road 540A and U.S. 98 recently raised its regular gas price 16 cents in one hike and then raised the price another 10 cents to $3.899.
I drove by on a Saturday at 3:58 p.m., and it was $3.799. I came back by at 5:10 p.m. and it was $3.899.
It has taken only a month to go from the average of $3.299 to the current price. Why has it gone up 60 cents in a month?
What politicians have been paid off or had one heck of a campaign contribution made to them that this is being allowed? People need to start complaining.
My income is limited. Everything has shot up with the price of gas so that I have no more buying power. I'm taking one step forward and nine steps backward. You have to complain sometimes before it's too late.

We have been content to define the public life of Martin Luther King largely on the strength of a single speech. We do so at the risk of transforming King -- whom A. Phillip Randolph introduced in 1963 as the "moral leader of our nation" -- into a passive, nonabrasive hero who is suitable for framing but not much else.
Part of the challenge that King presents is that his legacy is multidimensional -- a major aspect of that legacy is the "beloved community."
Speaking in 1957, King stated:
"The aftermath of nonviolence is the creation of the beloved community, while the aftermath of violence is tragic bitterness."
The "beloved community" is part of the theme at the second annual Martin Luther King Community Breakfast to be held in Berkeley on Jan. 21. "The city of Berkeley has officially recognized Dr. King's contribution to American life and the world," says the Rev. Leslie R. White, pastor of St. Paul AME and one of the event's founders.
Focused on the beloved community, White adds, "This is a communitywide event based on touching all parts of the community."
The committee has partnered with Martin Luther King Middle School for an art, poetry and essay contest using the theme "Taking a Stand." The committee also acknowledges those who have participated in the civil rights movement, as well as those whose current work embodies the King legacy.
The origins of the event began with White, Berkeley police Chief Michael Meehan and others seeking an event that could bring various aspect of the community together.
The result is a community event supported by the mayor's office, City Council members, police and fire departments, Berkeley Chamber of Commerce, the University of California, local churches and other community groups.
The breakfast committee was intentional about selecting its time so as not to conflict with other events throughout the day that have committed to a King celebration being a "day on" rather than a day off from work or school.
For those worried that the breakfast coincides with the presidential inauguration ceremonies -- fear not. The celebration will include the live streaming of President Barack Obama taking the oath office and delivering the inaugural address.
Berkeley's Martin Luther King breakfast is an ongoing attempt to maintain the King legacy. It is to acknowledge past, present and future leaders, who are disciples of that legacy.
But as a society we've worked hard to make King acceptable to the masses. There has been a systematic whitewashing of his radical nature. Even his most famous speech was given a new name as "I have a dream" has proved to be the preferable choice over the original title "A canceled check."
We forget that King's commitment to the beloved community extended to Vietnamese children much to the chagrin of President Lyndon Johnson. Little wonder that King's relevance is confined largely to the third Monday in January.
If we fail to authentically accept the King legacy we are left only with the sobering poem of Carl Wendell Hines Jr. to comfort us during annual commemorations:
"Now that he is safely dead,
Let us praise him,
Build monuments to his glory,
Sing hosannas to his name.
Dead men make such convenient heroes:
They cannot rise to challenge the images
We would fashion from their lives.
And besides, it is easier to build monuments
Than to make a better world.
So, now that he is safely dead
We, with eased consciences will teach our children
That he was a great man ...
That the cause for which he lived ... is still a cause.
And the dream for which he died ... is still a dream.
A dead man's dream ..."
The community breakfast will be held Jan. 21 at the Doubletree Hotel, Berkeley Marina, from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. For more information, go to www.berkeleymlkjrday.com.

SANTA CLARA -- National TV, one of his idols in attendance, 50th birthday, the final regular-season game at Candlestick Park.
How could things get any better for 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh?
The 49ers made Harbaugh wait most of Monday night before providing the answer, with cornerback Tramaine Brock breaking up a pass and linebacker NaVorro Bowman turning it into an 89-yard, victory-clinching touchdown with a little more than a minute left.
"I was, and still am, happier than a pig in slop," Harbaugh said Tuesday at a news conference.
The coach spent an inordinate amount of time talking about the magnitude of Bowman's play, comparing it to defensive lineman Justin Smith's forced fumble in a victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011.
"I'll remember that until the day I die," said Harbaugh, who also was thrilled by seeing idol Willie Mays at the game. "I got it at 50. I couldn't have had a better birthday present right at the halfway point. I'm shooting for 100, so I got it right at the halfway point. Happier than a pig in slop."
Later, again when talking about Bowman's play, Harbaugh paused and burst into spontaneous laughter.
Bowman's interception return was the finishing touch on a 34-24 victory over the Atlanta Falcons and helped the 49ers clinch a playoff berth for the third consecutive season.
At the time, the Falcons were at the 49ers' 10-yard line and seemed destined to at least tie the score. Bowman's heroics changed the game, if not the 49ers' season.
TV cameras caught Harbaugh jumping for joy, removing his headset and running down the sideline as Bowman sprinted toward the end zone.
"It's the defensive equivalent to as good as it gets in a football game," Harbaugh said. "It's the best thing I've been associated with anything that's happened to my team."
Harbaugh said he isn't in to ranking things. However, he made it clear that this is right up there with Vernon Davis' winning catch against the New Orleans Saints in the playoffs two seasons ago.
"I don't know how many kind of plays a coach has like that in his career," Harbaugh said. "It's probably so few that you're going to remember them your entire coaching career. That was one of those memorable plays."
They need a victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday and the St. Louis Rams to defeat the Seattle Seahawks to secure the NFC West title for the third consecutive season and a first-round bye.
If the 49ers win, the Seahawks lose and the Carolina Panthers lose or tie against the Falcons, the 49ers would get the top seed and home-field advantage for the NFC playoffs.
"It's probably something that we could add," Harbaugh said when asked why Crabtree wasn't on the field when a Falcons onside kick skidded past Bowman and bounced into the hands of a Falcons player.
"Kap trusted Frank enough to change the play," Harbaugh said. "As long as it works, then they're right. So, how many have that influence with Kap? Frank Gore does."
Harbaugh said he likes it when players such as Gore interject and push their idea, especially when it works.
"When a player feels strongly about something, we tend to agree with them unless we have evidence to the contrary," Harbaugh said.

I stumbled upon it when trying to debug some PMS problems, as it obviously has a lot of the same problems. Just wondering what the backstory is there -- why did subjumk fork instead of contribute to PMS? Does anyone have experience with it vs PMS?
It def. seems to have more frequent releases, which I like. I think I'll give it a shot, mainly because every time I upgrade PMS I have to debug stuff, which is annoying.

Staff does not seem to understand gluten free. They also do not carry the gluten free bread at this time.
1425 Market Boulevard, Ste 1370, Roswell GA 30076
I had a GF sandwich.
1598 Country Club Plaza Drive, St. Charles MO 63303
I know they don't have GF breads (yet, I've been told they are working on it), but their "spuds" are amazing and very filling! Several different options like grilled chicken and steak spuds.
3855 Hacks Cross Rd, Memphis TN 38141
No gluten free bread, order came out with cheese, when ordered no cheese. Spoke with manager, general feeling I got was no respect for allergies. Manager said gluten free bread not popular, so does not order it.
1760 Pine Island Rd. Ste. 105, Myrtle Beach SC 29577
we ate here 3 times while in the area. they were very good about gf - they yelled back to cooks to change gloves and paper in grill. very sensitive celiac and never got sick. great place for gf sandwiches.
13007 Worldgate Drive, Herndon, VA 20170
Met the owner of this franchise. One of the first to offer gluten free bread. Many gluten free options and very friendly staff.
1624 Memorial Boulevard, Murfreesboro TN 37129
They don't have a clue about gluten free options. Better to avoid!!
3930 SW 42nd St, Suite 110, Ocala FL 34474
Easy, fast and yummy.
3512 East Race Street, Searcy AR 72143
The staff was wonderful. They gave me a gluten free menu and told me they did have gluten free bread. Then when I asked how they ensured no cross contamination they told me they would change gloves and clean their area. The meal was wonderful and I did not get sick! (I have celiac and am very susceptible to cross contamination).
4325 Old Bullard Road, Tyler TX 75701
We love that kid's meals are ALWAYS $.99 if you eat them there and this includes GLUTEN FREE, which is amazing, they have gf bread and my daughter loves it. They do not seem to have any gf cookies or dessert options but that is o.k.
3262 Southwest 35th Boulevard, Gainesville FL 32608
I get the pecan berry salad and spud max. I never have trouble with the spuds and they have the best baked potatoes
160 University Way, Cullowhee NC 28723
Very clueless about GF. When I was a student at WCU in 2014, they said they had no idea what gluten was. -However, after months of navigating the menu, the spuds and vegan chili are GF. Teas are also fine. I advise staying away from sandwiches even without bread due to cross contamination.
4810 Calhoun Rd Suite 105, Houston TX 77004
manager made my food away from everyone using new products I'm severe celiac and having a delicious sandwich shop is an awesome feeling
1624 Memorial Boulevard, Murfreesboro TN 37129
Always get the spud max. Never had an issue. This is the only thing I order. It's delish.
2550 E Harmony Road Ste 102, Fort Collins CO 80528
I had a salad with no issues. However the sever seemed clueless about gluten free options.
232 Morrell Road, Knoxville TN 37919
Went in to grab a drink and possibly a mid afternoon snack. The cashier was pretty rude when I asked if they had any GF items. She was clueless and asked the manager who was nearby. I basically got a paper menu tossed at me before she walked off. We went to the car and reviewed it. Pretty standard attempt at GF: salads, potatoes and bread less sandwiches. With that attitude, I can't imagine that she cared enough to teach her staff about cross contamination etc. I won't be back.
3262 Southwest 35th Boulevard, Gainesville FL 32608
Good selection of gluten free options with bread but I got sick eating there three times in a row from cross contamination. Avoid if you have celiacs.
3512 East Race Street, Searcy AR 72143
The staff was very helpful. The manager was familiar with celiac disease and went through the menu with us to ensure we found safe things to eat. They do keep a gluten free menu behind the counter. The gluten free bread on their sandwiches is the best we've had!
601 River Highway, Suite C, Mooresville NC 28117
Their website advertises gluten free bread. When asked about it we were given a matter of fact "No"! Very disappointed by the behavior.
1006 University Drive East, College Station TX 77840
Gluten free bread offered and it's good!! Didn't get sick at all!!!
5886 De Zavala Road, Suite 100, San Antonio TX 78249
Staff were uninformed but directed me to the restaurant website which allowed me to easily pull up a gluten-free menu.
3930 SW 42nd St, Suite 110, Ocala FL 34474
Staff doesn't seems to be very knowledgeable about which things contained gluten. Use caution.
7720 Montgomery Road, Cincinnati OH 45236
They have good gf bread. You can get many of the sandwiches but just be sure to ask! No reaction!!
720 North Aspen, Broken Arrow OK 74012
there's good days and bad days
1715 Pole Line Rd E, Twin Falls, ID 83301
Have eaten at this place before in Wyoming. So when I saw they had one in Idaho as I was traveling through...knew I was in good hands...the staff is knowledgable and the manager is always on hand to make sure there is no cross contamination. Great Prices!!
15600 WC Commons Ways, Midlothian VA 23113
Update-tried the new GF bread club sandwich twice. Got sick both times. Second time I got no condiments on it and not toasted. Can't handle CC. I can only eat the baked potato or a pick two with plain salad and baked potato. I do not feel they are careful in the kitchen at this location. I have been glutened several times but it's a family favorite. Plain potato with butter and sour cream has never hurt me though. If I go pre lunch rush, I risk the club potato and have been fine.
815 Hamric Drive East, Oxford AL 36203
We went today and were pleased with the customer service. As soon as we ordered, we kindly asked the front register to ask for the person who prepared to change their gloves. They gladly did so and we didn't get sick! We ordered a salad and made sure not to have blue cheese since it has gluten.
644-A Long Point Road, Mt. Pleasant SC 29464
Eat here often. They change their gloves and make sure my food is safe - they have a separate celiac menu.
20911 Gulf Freeway Suite D, Webster TX 77598
I eat their Chipotle Chicken sandwich on GF bread once a week. No problems!
4410 W Boy Scout Blvd #150, Tampa, FL 33607
Bread not bad, a little crumbly. Good meat and cheese selection, salads, and baked potato.
1650 Sunset Drive, Grenada, MS 38901
Great service, good food. Staff knowledgeable.
20911 Gulf Freeway Suite D, Webster TX 77598
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they had a gluten free bread option upon request. My sandwich was quite good. It's not often that I can have a sandwich while dining out. The extra charge for this was less than a dollar.
3450 Wrightsboro Road Suite A120, Augusta GA 30909
While they have a GF menu, they do not keep items separate. GF menu advises that they are not Celiac friendly :( Frustrating when you have to physically go to the establishment to find this out.
4641 Presidential Pkwy, Macon GA 31220
Being new to gluten free, I was excited to see that they have a great list of gluten free options available: https://s3.amazonaws.com/desktop_assets/mcalisters-deli/pdf/Gluten-Sensitive-Menu.pdf
731 South Pear Orchard Road, Suite 49, Ridgeland MS 39157
if I am feeling a baked potato this is my jam. good for meeting up with friends but not a lot of choices.
7385 Siwell Road, Byram MS 39272
Great lunch stop! They actually had a gf menu to show me...ordered taco salad and it was very good, no reaction. Didn't think I would find a gf option passing thru Byram, so I was pleasantly surprised. Nice staff too
2511 Beene Blvd., Bossier City LA 71111
They are good @ there job
7385 Siwell Road, Byram MS 39272
Great service and easy ordering. Several menu options
182 E Peace Street, Canton MS 39046
This McAlister's Deli does not offer gluten free bread.
2317 Grand Ave Ste. A, Laramie WY 82070
The staff is extremely ill informed. No g free menu to speak of.
12515 Olive Boulevard, Creve Coeur MO 63141
They do not have GF bread! I was totally disappointed!
812 South 6th Street, Waco TX 76706
This was actually my first GF meal so I was nervous. They had a separate Gf menu. I got a sandwich on gf bread and it was great.
8121 Pat Booker Rd, Live Oak, TX 78233
Gluten free bread is no extra cost. Staff is knowledgable.
3 South Tunnel Road, Asheville NC 28805
easy cross contamination. very little concern regarding allergies.
2003 N. Eastman Road, Kingsport TN 37660
They have gluten free bread for sandwiches, baked potato options that are GF (I like the chicken baked potato!), and salads that can be prepared GF. I hadn't been here in a long time because last time I had they didn't have GF bread. It's nice to have another option of places to eat while out or traveling!
2747 Legends Parkway, Prattville AL 36066
The staff is friendly and I have never had a gluten contamination problem at McAlister's Deli.
11140 Parkside Drive, Knoxville TN 37923
Great staff and very accommodating to gluten free. Offer a gluten free menu as well as GF bread (Udis).
122 Sheffield Loop, Hattiesburg MS 39402
The best McAlister's Deli location is on Hardy St. They have good gluten free bread and loaded potatoes. The tea is wonderful. Prices are also good.
5801 Saratoga Blvd Bldg A, Corpus Christi TX 78414
If you have celiac, I would not recommend getting gluten free bread here. Stick with a baked potato or safe salad, every time I've ever eaten a gluten free sandwich at a McAlisters deli I've gotten very sick. So please be careful! Go to Jason's Deli instead if you really want a sandwich, they are much more careful.
635 West Prien Lake Road, Lake Charles LA 70601
They have a gluten free options menu at the front register, they don't offer gluten free bread but the chili, several spuds, and salads are choices on there.
421 Tuttle Creek Building B, Ste. 102, Manhattan KS 66502
Yeah! Ask for their gf bread and you can have a pretty good sandwich! The portions seemed a bit small but overall very good.

The Conservative bubble is well established, but Maher believes that the Liberals live in one too, one where they don't think President Obama can lose on account of what jokes Romney and Santorum are. As Maher reminds us, there was another joke candidate no one thought had a chance a few years ago: George W. Bush.

Check ICN Site Availability
According to the 2007 Department of Labor Report (The STEM Workforce Challenge: the role of the Public Workforce System in a National Solution for a Competitive Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Workforce) "American pre-eminence in STEM will not be secured or extended without effort and investments. Trends in K-12 and higher education science and math preparation, coupled with demographic and labor trends, point to a serious challenge: our nation needs to increase the supply and quality of "knowledge workers" whose specialized skills enable them to work productively within STEM industries and occupations."
In order to help students explore STEM careers, Iowa Public Television is providing a series of free ICN sessions related to STEM careers. During these sessions, students will have the opportunity to meet various professionals in IOWA who are working in STEM careers. Students also have an opportunity to see the professional on the job as we will be viewing a short video produced by IPTV during the session.
These sessions are a great resource for schools needing to help students plan their futures. Sign up today!

Raise 'Em Right
Monday: Parenting
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
Terrible toddlers? Trying teens? Something in between? This weekly forum is the spot to share your questions and struggles about all things related to parenthood.
Please join us!
I hope I found my way back to the right place. My 2 1/2 year old has entered his terrible 2s a couple months ago - in a big way. What do you think is the best way to discipline a boy who keeps talking in church, then when I take him out screams for 1/2 hour to go back in? Then cries at home for 45 minutes (peeing his pants) when we don't let him watch tv? Then spends most days dragging the chairs in the kitchen to the counter or cabinets and making messes any time I go the bathroom? Won't hold my hand when we walk on busy streets, sits down on the ground instead and cries so much he pees his pants? My discipline hasn't work, so what do you do to stop this behavior?
MMH: I am sure you will get a lot of practical advice and tips, but the most important thing I feel you need to remember is that this is just a season, and he will grow out of it. When you are in the trenches it seems that it will never end, but having gone through this 4xs now, I can tell you, I hardly remember it (until I read a post like yours and then say - Oh right, that was a horrible time). I would try to limit the times you have to say no, give choices (both of which you are willing to say yes to), and pick your battles. By this I mean, you hold the line on the really important, dangerous things, like holding hands on a street. If he won't hold your hand, strap him into a stroller. 2 year olds will talk in Church, try to practice whispering and point out things that are going on to keep his attention. Above all, hang in there and know that it will get better.
Hang in there...it will get easier. Keep calm, give yourself time-outs, pray, engage him activities (the messier the better to hold his attention!)that you have set aside on a floor he can't ruin or give him a "cleaning" job such as a dust rag....keep him busy but on your terms. In church, our family friend & Priest suggested sitting in the very back pew, less stress on you & less stimulation for the child, less distraction, easier to scoot him out too....
me again, yes, I do all these things, but what sort of punishment works best on a strong willed child so that he won't do dangerous things over and over again?
Baby gates have been a lifesaver for us. I can confine him to a safe room like bedroom or a designated play area...so I can shower/laundry, etc.
Dr. Ray Guarendi is an author, psych., and dad of 10...we went to one of his seminars at our church. It was GREAT. He told us that our experience with our 2yr old strong-willed child was not uncommon. Corner time---it may take tears, an hour or more but consistency is soooooooo important. It WILL work.
Sorry, typing on my iPhone while feeding a 5mos old. Lol. I meant consistency is key with whatever discipline you go with. Corner time is what was recommended to us & it worked with our now 4yr old & is working with our 2yr old. It took both my husband & I to commit to being consistent which is TOUGH when we have little ones & the temptation to let behavior slide is there but the rewards are great.
Maybe this is your first child and you didn't expect it to be this hard. Maybe this is your third child and your others quaked at a mere look from you. For whatever reason, this child is strong-willed. Like the others have said, it doesn't matter so much WHAT discipline you choose, but that you can be consistent with it. If it takes an hour and some wet undies, that is something you are going to have to steel yourself for. You are making an impact on your child already even though it doesn't feel like it. Some kids just take a lot longer! Remember, even when it feels like it isn't working, you have to keep sending the message that this behavior is unacceptable. Try using "natural" punishments as much as possible, too. I like the suggestion of strapping him in a stroller if he won't hold your hands. If he throws tantrums in public, he stops going to the library and grocery store with you. These types of punishments work really well if he has siblings that get to go places with you. Offer rewards for good behavior (again, works really well if there are siblings around that get the reward when he doesn't). Also, try to figure out what is really important to him. Does he love TV time? Does he have a favorite truck? Taking those things away will have a big impact. If there are certain things you can't deal with in terms of discipline, don't use that as a discipline. For example, if you need play dates for your own sanity, don't make taking away play dates a punishment.
yes, I think part of the problem is no yard and that our apartment is only 1 1/2 bedrooms and we both work from home and so don't want to hear crying for an hour. We have baby gates that he knows how to climb over it he really wants to- he just moves a toy/truck stands on it then climbs over. Thanks, I'm going to try the corner method- just need to keep him there.
me again and again. Yes, wish he had older and younger siblings but no such luck. I wanted to train him to hold my hand since I see other kids did that once they started walking. He's not the worst behaved kid (never hits, fights, poops pants) but he's never paid any attention to library class- he's just wants to run off meanwhile kids over year younger are sitting still and following all the directions. So we definitely need to keep the playdates.
Try as hard as you can to not compare him to other children (I know this is impossible, but try hard!). I have three kids and two of them could have held my hand at walking age, but one definitely could not have. She isn't any worse behaved, just more . . . energetic. She tries things and does things the other two NEVER would have imagined doing. And she was my most peaceful baby. In terms of the "dangerous" things, your best bet is to work around them right now. Pick him up when you cross a street if he refuses to hold your hand. Do more baby-proofing even if you swore you wouldn't be one of those parents who latched and locked everything because your child would listen. Parenting is very humbling!
...my dad always tells us "Well...aren't you just glad that you have a strong willed child full of energy that is up & ready to conquer the world when he wakes up than a lazy child who wants you to do everything for him! Be grateful!" But....he is their grandpa and they can do no wrong in his eyes AND he can laugh while we clean laundry soap off our wood floors! (Now that was fun!) :)
Two great resources are the Discipline Book by Dr. Bill Sears and Parenting with Grace by the Popcaks. The latter one is from a Catholic perspective. Our 2 1/2 year old is the same way, very strong willed, but she understands choices now. We give her a choice about everything so she feels she has control but we tell her the options. We want to train her will, not break it. She doesn't like to hold hands either so she gets two choices, (1) hold my hand and she can walk or (2) don't hold my hand and I will carry her. She can choose but she doesn't get to walk without holding my hand. We had the same thing happen with us in church. She will talk and then scream when we take her out. Now she can (1) choose to use a quiet voice and read/color her mass book or (2) wait outside with daddy until mass is over (he holds her the whole time, it isn't a time for running around).
I used to let him run around but now that I don't he screams. He only uses a coloring book for about a minute and mass is about 1 and 20 minutes. Dad doesn't go to church so it's just me taking him oustide. It's gotten kind of embarassing because other men are asking to help now. When we walk he wants either go the other way or for me to carry him- that's the problem. He weighs about 40 pounds, has always been off the charts on weight -gave me herniated discs, so I can't hold him long. He's very strong- broke a baby gate when he was only 9 months old just by cruising and pushing and banging it - he wanted to grab the dogs fur real bad. He was never a peaceful baby- I think I might have brought this upon myself by not letting him cry and throw up when he was a baby. I just took him outside and walked around with him all day - maybe too much of the sears method. He's having a good day today so far though. Thanks for all your suggestions.
I just wanted to second the Dr. Ray Guarendi suggestion--when our oldest was 2 (almost 3) we called into his show and talked to him about similar problems. He suggested the corner (which we were doing per the Nanny 911 or similar show style and he would NEVER stay) and holding him there until he was willing to stay for 3 minutes. Sometimes this took over an hour-for SIX long months. On the 4th of July (yes I still remember the exact day!) when he was 3 and 1/2 he decided to stay in the corner right when he was told--we had relapses after that but never as bad. He is now 8 (and the oldest of 7 kids) and still has to work on his temper but is really a very sweet, well mannered kid most of the time. As for the other 6 kids--no one has ever approached having to be held in the corner for an hour so as the first goes does not mean that will be how the rest go!
I found you all! I had just started over at F&F and then it moved! Glad to be here. I have a similar two year old. It's exhausting and I empathize MMH! My husband and I have hotly debated the mass situation. He's starting to get better but this is where I'm at with it: he's not bound to attend mass. So if he has had a really rough day (or week!) we split masses and don't bring him. My feeling is, he's home with me and our 10month old ALL THE TIME. So when we leave and go to mass it's just not fair to ask him to sit and be quiet for an hour. He wants to play! So the more you can expose him to what is age appropriate and safe, the better he might be when it's actually time to be still. That said, he's still 2! They're so unpredictable. Also, I have resorted to bringing Cheerios to mass (gasp!) when I think he might need it to help him through. Just ideas for what we've done. Oh! Another cool thing that my husband started doing. When my son is having a fit my husband looks him in the eye and starts deep breathing very slowly and calmly. It almost always works in calming our son down. And I have found that stroking his arm or tapping his arm with my fingers also calms him down. It seems to refocus him. I think a lot of our sons issues may be sensory related and also solved with sensory stimulation. I also give him lots of praise when he's being naughty. I know that sounds backwards. But I'll tell him what a good boy he is and how much I love him and that I know he's so good and listening, etc. It's not always true in the moment but makes me feel better and sometimes turns his behavior right around. Sometimes! Other times I just yell at him! Hahaha! But I try not to.
Oh my gosh...lol. Renee S. "..sometimes I just yell at him"...Ha! :) Also, I completely agree with you about the rough week or morning & splitting masses. My husband & I do that too...& we actually get something out of mass! My son was being very challenging one Sunday & during communion the little stinker loudly asked where his cookie was to our priest while getting his blessing....ugh......KIDS!! Die of embarrassment at the time. I really like that idea your husband had of deep breathing. Hm..My 4yr old has 1/2hr of yoga at his preschool for kind of the same premise--refocus. I was surprised when I saw that being taught but intrigued! :)

ingredient information
Lemons Juice
This bright yellow citrus fruit is oval in shape, with a pronounced bulge on the blossom end. The flesh is juicy and acidic. The lemon can range in size from that of a large egg to that of a small grapefruit. Some have thin skins while others have very thick rinds, which are used to make candied lemon peel. Though the lemon is an excellent source of vitamin C (one provides 40 to 70 percent of the minimum daily requirement), it begins to lose its vitamin power soon after it's squeezed. There's a 20 percent loss of vitamin C after only 8 hours at room temperature or 24 hours in the refrigerator..

Holiday lights a bright tradition for many locals
Published: Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at 9:43 p.m.

Parrish Triche loves Christmas.
Holiday lights contest winners
Want to see some of the best lights in the area? Here are the winners of SLECA's annual Christmas light contest.
- Melvin Guidroz: 128 Cypress Villa Lane, Gheens
- Patrick McDonald: 101 Oak St., Houma
- Parrish Triche: 2443 Bayou Blue Road, Houma
- Felix Gregoire: 4159 Grand Caillou Road, Houma
- John Frisella: 12 Rocky Road, Houma
- Shawn Smith: 405 Forest Blvd., Houma
- Lenis Authement Jr.: 121 Nottingham Trail, Houma
- Carl Gaudet Sr.: 1804 La. 662, Morgan City
- Mark Duhon: 10802 Frontage Road, Amelia
The Houma resident says he loves everything about the holiday. But if you really want to get a sense of how much he loves it, there's only one way to do it — visit his house on Bayou Blue Road right before the sun sets and watch the lights come on.
"Oh, lord, I don't even know how many lights I've got out there," Triche said, laughing. "But it's a bunch, that's for sure."
Triche is one of nine homeowners in the South Louisiana Electric Cooperative Association's coverage area who the company picked during its annual Christmas light contest.
Every year, the power company chooses one house in each of its power districts. Employees judge on seven different factors, including originality, use of color and suitability to Christmas theme, said contest organizer Elaine Robertson.
For each winner, Christmas lights are a hobby steeped in tradition.
Two weeks before Thanksgiving, Triche and his family ceremoniously start the long process of putting up their intricate light displays.
Triche estimates they spend 60 to 70 hours over those two weeks spreading out strings and nets of lights.
Then, on Thanksgiving, Triche plugs in the system and sets his whole yard ablaze with color.
For Triche, a huge light show is a family tradition that started with his father. When his dad died, Triche inherited his trove of lights — and the responsibility to make them shine.
"It's always been a tradition for us," Triche said. "It's always been special."
Other contest winners said they started their own Christmas-light tradition.
John Frisella first started putting out lights when he and his wife moved into their house on Rocky Road in 1978.
"I just wanted to make a nice little tradition," he said. "Every year you add a little here, a little there, always trying to make it a little better."
This year, Frisella elevated his house and added a wrap-around balcony. So he bought strings of lights that hang from the balcony in long loops.
Like Triche, Frisella lost track a long time ago of how many lights stretch across his three-lot display. The series of glimmering candy canes alone uses 360 feet of lights.
"I just really enjoy doing it," Frisella said. "It's something that makes me happy."
Most of the contest winners say they don't labor at the displays to win contests or acclaim. They do it because they enjoy it and because of the reaction it gets from viewers.
"People say 'that must be a heck of a lot of work.' And it is," Triche said. "But when you see a van full of children pull up, and you see the smiles on their faces, that by itself makes it all worth it."
For Triche, putting out lights is his own small way of keeping some wonder in a time when people seem to be getting more cynical.
"I don't know, it's about believing in something. The kids have to believe in something," he said. "Everybody should believe in Santa Claus in some way or another."

PORTSMOUTH — Kenneth P. Kimber, 34, of Osprey Drive, arrested Friday on charges alleging he used the Internet to sexually solicit a girl under the age of 16, will now be arraigned on Monday, March 4 at 8:30 a.m.
Kimber was expected to be arraigned this morning in Portsmouth Circuit Court.
Kimber, fired Monday from his first season coaching position at Noble High School in North Berwick, Maine, was arrested last week on eight charges in relation to his alleged solicitation of a minor, including three felony counts of using a computer in a prohibited way and five felony counts of indecent exposure.
Kimber, who was working in the Portsmouth School District's information technology department, was terminated from that job effective last Wednesday, after the police completed their investigation.
In a press release Friday, Portsmouth school department officials stated Kimber's employment was terminated after he conducted multiple violations of school policy, including the policy concerning Internet use.

Former WBO and WBC junior welterweight beltholder Tim Bradley spoke to RingTV.com in this Q&A regarding his recently-signed contract with Top Rank Inc., his upcoming debut with the company on the undercard of the Nov. 12 Manny Pacquiao–Juan Manuel Marquez fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
The 28-year-old Bradley (27-0, 11 KOs) will face former four-time titleholder and Cuban Olympic gold medalist Joel Casamayor (38-5-1, 22 KOs), who successfully rebounded from a loss to Robert Guerrero (29-1-1, 18 KOs) by scoring a split-decision win over junior welterweight Manuel Lueva (18-3, 10 KOs) in March.
Beyond Casamayor, Bradley said he would consider a rise to welterweight if it meant a shot at eight-division titleholder Pacquiao (53-3-2, 38 KOs) or even newly-crowned WBC beltholder Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26 KOs).
Pacquiao must first get beyond Marquez (53-5-1, 39 KOs), whom Pacquiao has battled to a draw and a split-decision victory in 2004 and 2008, respectively. Mayweather is coming off a fourth-round knockout that dethroned Victor Ortiz (29-3-2, 22 KOs) on Sept. 17.
If not Pacquiao or Mayweather, Bradley would consider mixing it up with Ortiz, WBA and IBF counterpart Amir Khan (26-1, 18 KOs), WBA "regular" junior welterweight titleholder Marcos Maidana (31-2, 28 KOs) or IBF welterweight belthoder Andre Berto (28-2, 22 KOs), among others.
Khan has a defense on Dec. 10 against IBF mandatory challenger Lamont Peterson (29-1-1, 15 KOs), whom Bradley dropped in the third round of a clash of unbeatens for a unanimous decision victory and the WBO belt in December of 2009.
Bradley was originally scheduled to face Khan on July 23, but he opted out and is now involved in a lawsuit with his co-promoters, Gary Shaw and Ken Thompson of Thompson Boxing Promotions. Bradley was legally advised that he could sign with Top Rank.
In January, Bradley dethroned Devon Alexander (22-1, 13 KOs) as WBC junior welterweight beltholder by 11th-round technical decision, adding that crown to the WBO title that he already owned.
But Bradley was stripped of the WBC belt by that organization based on inactivity, a move which opened the door for Erik Morales (52-7, 35 KOs) to become the first Mexican-born fighter to earn a fourth title in as many different divisions with a 10th-round knockout over previously-unbeaten Pablo Cesar Cano (22-1, 17 KOs).
Bradley became a father for the first time when his wife, Monica, gave birth to Jada Nicolette Bradley in late July, even as he has helped raise Monica's two children — son, Robert, 11, and a daughter, Alaysia, 6 – from a previous marriage as if they're his own.
Bradley discussed fatherhood, as well as his future beyond and including Casamayor, in this interview.
Man, I can't wait. I cannot wait. I think that this definitely opens up the gates for me. Top Rank is huge. They know exactly how to promote fighters. They make their fighters superstars.
I feel that this is going to definitely help my career to blossom. I don't see it as a negative thing in any way whatsoever. I know that they're going to do the right thing by me.
I'm just glad to be back. I was under the radar for a while, you know, and things were looking down for me. Now, things are looking up for me.
RingTV.com: How is your daughter Jada doing?
TB: My body's great. She's two months old now, and she's wonderful. She's a blessing in my life. She is a joy. She is the joy of my life every morning when I wake up, man.
I see her and I just light up, man. She's given me even more inspiration and incentive and motivation to go out there and to kick butt on November 12.
RingTV.com: Have you been in the gym?
So I've sort of put on some more muscle. You know, right now? I'm at about 158 right now. I've put on a little bit more muscle, and now, I fixing to tear it down.
I'm going to be a terror in the ring. I've been running every day, and and so, my conditioning shouldn't be a factor in this fight.
RingTV.com: At what weight will you face Casamayor?
He likes to throws looping shots and he likes to try to catch you off guard. He does certain things in the ring that are not normal to sort of throw you off.
You know, that's pretty much it. Other than that, he comes to fight. You know, he's a gamer. And he's a veteran, so, you know, he has some experience. Great fight experience.
RingTV.com: Do you need to look spectacular and get a knockout or simply get the victory?
I just need put up a good fight and just put on a good show. I just need to go out there and win that fight, that's pretty much it. If I do that, I'll be happy with it because I haven't fought in a while.
RingTV.com: How much are you looking forward to your Las Vegas debut?
Manny Pacquaio-Juan Manuel Marquez III, and I'm basically the semi-main event. Man, I'm right before the main event, you know?
RingTV.com: You've read Gary Andrew Poole's biography about Pacquiao entitled Pacman: Behind The Scenes, but are you looking forward to meeting the fighter for the first time?
I would say hi to him, you know, and "How you doing, champ?" But that's pretty much it. I'm not infatuated with the guy. It would just be a typical conversation.
I mean, I may say something, I'm not sure. It all depends on how I feel that night. Manny is going to be fighting his fight.
You know, that's how it is. I'm going to be fighting my fight. You know, at the end of the day, man, they're going to do whatever is best for my career.
RingTV.com: Any concerns about having been stripped of the WBC belt?
TB: No. I'm not concerned at all. Honestly, I'm not sure what's going on with that. I'm not worried about it at all. Not at all right now.
I'm just worried about getting my mind and my body prepared for Casamayor at this moment. I'm not really worried about the other belts. At this point, that doesn't really matter.
RingTV.com: Will you defend your WBO belt beyond Casamayor, or will you rise in weight to 147?
TB: I don't know, man. I haven't talked that over with my promoter yet. Or I haven't talked to my manager, Cameron Dunkin, about it either.
I'm possibly going to fight another fight at 140 after that, and, then, eventually, try to make the move up. There are some guys at 140 out there.
There's Marcos Maidana, there's Erik Morales. There are tons of guys there with good names. But I'm pretty much going to leave it up to Cameron and my promoters.
I'm pretty much going to talk it over with them and see what their thoughts are. But I've got to get past this guy Casamayor first, you know what I mean?
Then, we'll see what's next. But like I've said before, I'm willing to take on anybody, man. I'm with the right team now, and they're definitely going to promote me well.
They're definitely going to put me in there with great fights. So to all of my fans out there, just stay tuned, because I'm back. I'm definitely going to put on a show on November 12.

The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom helped change the course of American history, but for some Californians the journey to get there was almost as momentous as what they saw and heard at the one-day civil rights rally Aug. 28, 1963.
This week marks the 50th anniversary not just of the historic march, but also of an epic bus ride, when a jubilant and idealistic group of Bay Area residents -- black and white and Asian-American; teenagers and elders; middle-class students and blue-collar longshoremen; friends and strangers -- crowded a Greyhound bus for a cross-country trip from San Francisco to the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Transcending their differences was a shared sentiment: "We all hated racism," said Joanne Navin, now 81, one of the riders.
Some were galvanized by that year's TV footage of police hosing and beating African-Americans in the South. Jazz musician John Handy, now 80, was just as worried about inequality and racial discrimination experienced at home.
"Wrong was wrong no matter where it comes from, and San Francisco certainly had a lot of wrongs," said Handy, who was born in Texas but grew up in Oakland. "We were demonstrating against racism and discrimination at jobs and schools. It was here, too. That's why we went to Washington."
The Bay Area delegation joined a stream of buses, trains and planes carrying more than 200,000 people from around the country convening to march and listen to civil rights leaders, including Martin Luther King Jr., who delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech.
Memories of the trips have faded, and many march participants are no longer alive. But the trip from San Francisco was memorialized in "The Bus," a documentary by Haskell Wexler that captured the intimate conversations and debates that happened as the activists traveled along Interstate 80 into Nevada, Utah and beyond.
Watching the out-of-print movie last week for the first time since its 1965 release, Nancy Schimmel's eyes glistened as the Berkeley folk singer relived moments she had barely remembered and others she never forgot.
Already active in the Women for Peace movement against nuclear weapons and testing -- and the daughter of Malvina Reynolds, a famous left-wing folk singer whose hit song "Little Boxes" had come out a year earlier -- Schimmel was a seasoned 28-year-old activist when she boarded the bus. Still, what transpired that week was like nothing she had ever seen.
"We knew it was going to be big and people were going to be coming from all over, but when you're physically with -- what was it, 250,000 people? -- it's overwhelming," Schimmel said.
She spent most of the ride in the very last seat of the bus, chatting incessantly with a friend. She is white. Her friend, artist Mary Ann Rock, who died just last week, was black. Among their discussions was what they'd wear for the Wednesday rally in the humid capital: Schimmel brought a paisley dress and sandals.
"Back then, we dressed up for demonstrations," she said. "We wanted to reach people who might get turned off if we were scuzzy."
A future San Francisco mayor and lawmaker, Willie Brown, was among the crowd that waved the troop goodbye from the parking lot of the Third Baptist Church near Alamo Square when they departed the Saturday before the march.
Handy, an emerging jazz star, brought his saxophone on the trip. Others brought guitars. They sang folk songs as they coursed through rural and urban landscapes, played slot machines at a bus stop in Reno and debated over the bus driver's recommendations for the best places to stop for food in Iowa -- all moments of levity captured in the film.
Wexler filmed the days-long ride in an observational, cinéma vérité style, focusing on the ordinary conversations between bus riders about their reasons for being there. He also caught tense disagreements over the tactics that should be used in the fight to overcome the nation's racial inequality. Those debates were happening not only in the deeply segregated South but also in California, where a more polite Bay Area atmosphere masked ongoing discrimination in housing, workplaces and schools.
"Within the group, there were differences about how you protest," said the 91-year-old Wexler, with white activists at times shown lecturing black activists about principles of nonviolence.
Among the skeptics was the white, Midwestern bus driver, who said he worried that staging such a massive demonstration will "cause hard feelings" and "do more harm than good." His perspectives evolve over the movie as he expresses sympathy for the civil rights cause.
"What was unexpected was the driver's transformation. You really felt it was genuine," Wexler said.
In 1963, Wexler was still in the early stages of a career that would win him two Academy Awards, as the cinematographer for "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and for "Bound for Glory." An unabashed advocate for civil rights, he nevertheless stayed neutral and quiet as the bus riders approached western Maryland. There, some African-American riders wanted to stop at a convenience store in a segregated town where the bus attracted hostile stares.
Navin, who is white, was a self-described "prim and proper" San Francisco office worker when she cautiously joined the civil rights movement just months before the march, inspired by demonstrations by the Congress of Racial Equality demanding an end to segregation in San Francisco's public schools. Her bus trip ended up being a one-way journey to Washington, where she got hooked on the nascent movement, sold her return ticket and wanted to help out in the South. She now lives in Texas.
In one jarring scene, Navin loudly objects to an African-American activist leaving the bus, saying, "The thing to do would have been to call a meeting."
"What's wrong with getting a pack of cigarettes in Hagerstown, Md.?" the black activist retorts.
Bayard Rustin, the architect of the D.C. march, had penned a detailed manual delivered to each "bus captain" around the country. It covered everything from "Why We March" to suggestions for what kind of sandwiches to bring. Among the clearest messages: Don't get into trouble or do anything to detract from the march's focused messages.
"I'm the one who stands up and reads to him the book on movement discipline," is how Navin remembers the exchange. "When you're committed to an action, you don't move off" and stray on your own, especially in a "very racist place" where venturing out could be dangerous.
In many ways, riders say their bus crew was a microcosm of a larger movement, whose diverse members came together for a short but hopeful and occasionally victorious period. The march itself "was probably the finest moment of black-white unity over ending the Jim Crow system," said Clayborne Carson, a Stanford history professor who directs the Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute. Carson was on a different bus -- then 19 years old, he traveled to D.C. from a conference in Indianapolis.
"It was a coalition. Ending the Jim Crow system in the South was the one goal that held the otherwise fractured movement together -- ending the system of oppression, discrimination and segregation," he said. "But once that was accomplished, all these same people went in a number of different directions."
Frustrated by the lack of progress, some black activists shifted to black power movements, such as the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense that formed in Oakland in 1966. Some white liberals transitioned into the anti-war and women's liberation movements. And many mainstream white observers who sympathized with King's movement lost interest after the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964 and the Voting Rights Act in 1965, believing the problems were solved, Carson said.
"Their goals were much broader than simply civil rights legislation," he said. "A. Philip Randolph and Martin Luther King and young students I knew ... they wanted a major transformation for American society. It was a freedom movement, it wasn't a civil rights movement."
Their dreams, including "an end to poverty as a social problem," remain unfulfilled, he said.
Still, those Bay Area residents who bused across the nation to make history at the march carry memories tinged with pride of what was accomplished that day and in the ensuing months and years.
"There have been big changes, but there are a lot more to go," Navin said.

March 6, 2008
Few new yarn releases were as wildly anticipated as Noro Kureyon Sock. Fans of the original Kureyon rejoiced at the chance to play with their favorite colorful yarn in a finer gauge. Foes said, "How could a single-ply sock yarn possibly work?"
And me? I got a skein and started swatching.

However I have just checked the PMS.conf and there is no such line as perl.path or get-flash-videos.path
Where should I put these for Mac OSX? Is it maybe possible that you can post your PMS.conf since it is working for you?
Thanks mate!
I don't got a mac so that's of course hard to know for me. But essential perl is found (on Linux and I know mac is bsd based) typically at /usr/bin/perl and get_flash_videoes.pl is found whereever you put it yourself. Put for example in /home/<your user>/scripts
Since I run SHB my paths are relative the PMS dir...
- Code: Select all
get-flash-videos.path = extras\\scripts\\get_flash_videos.pl
perl.path = extras\\perl\\bin\\perl.exe
