Well, the scale was not kind this morning. Between the "carb" weight and the vacation weight, I am now up 15 pounds. Sigh. NOTHING fits and I have a meeting in Texas tomorrow. Double sigh. What's frustrating? It wasn't like I was eating pizza, cake, cookies, etc. Now, I admit that I probably had more rice in 1 week than I've had in the last 3 years...but still. Oh, well. I'm hoping for a down day today, since I'm traveling. Maybe that will correct something. What took 1 week to come on will probably take at least a month to come off, which is unfortunate because I don't have a lot to wear at this size anymore!
Check in with you later. Gotta unpack and repack and then head to the airport.
Eh, with a few days of strict primal/IF you will drop that weight in no time. I gained 10 pounds in a week visiting my parents at Christmas. 3 days of eating one good primal meal a day (steak, veggies - that kind of thing) and I dropped all 10 pounds.
I agree, and rice can be very binding, I think you will be fine in a few days.
Thanks, guys. Perspective always helps. I'm having a decent down day.
My boss texted me and said we need to talk. It's either really good news or really bad news. We shall see shortly. We're on the same connecting plane to Austin. Now sure which news I prefer...there's actually no way she could fire me (nearly impossible in my company without a "reorg")...but in some ways, that would take the decision out of my hand :-)

good or bad, knowing is better than anticipation.
Well, she didn't fire me (I really didn't think that was an option). She can't convince the higher powers that be to let me do the contractor thing (not in our company culture). But, I'm going to ditch some of my current cases and work a different project. Should be better, I think....
Worth a shot right?

The Aiken High School boys basketball team didnt have the touch Thursday night, losing to Spring Valley 75-62. Playing their home opener, the Hornets (1-1) suffered their first loss because of too many missed shots from the field and the free-throw line. For the game, they made only 15 of 35 free throw attempts. That total allowed the Vikings (2-0) to maintain a double-digit lead throughout the fourth quarter, as the Hornets missed too many chances to pull closer from the charity stripe in spite of a good effort.
It was pretty bad. We didnt shoot (free throws) well tonight, Aiken head coach Tony Harrell said. But I didnt see us give up, These guys showed fight, fight, fight.
In addition to inconsistent shooting and in spite of some good looks off of solid ball movement and penetration, the Hornets also struggled controlling the ball. They committed a number of turnovers and allowed Spring Valley to set the pace. Leading the way for the Vikings was point guard Perry Dozier Jr. The 6-foot-5 point guard had a good night dealing with Aikens pressure and different looks and was able to set up his teammates in good positions to score.
Their point guard played a tremendous game and controlled the tempo, Harrell said of Dozier Jr., who had 13 points and 11 assists.
His father Perry Dozier Sr. Spring Valleys head coach, had similar feelings about the way Dozier Jr. played.
I dont give my son a lot of compliments, but he was a floor general today, Dozier Sr. said. It wasnt about scoring, it was about controlling the game and I thought he did a good job with that.
Dozier Jr. was good at finding teammates in the paint or cutting to the basket. More often than not, when a Viking player got the ball inside, they were able to convert for a basket in spite of any pressure the Hornets applied.
They were great around the basket, Harrell said. You cant win games when you give up layups and we gave up too many tonight.
The top recipient of the efforts of Dozier Jr. was Dominique Taylor. The senior forward led Spring Valley with 27 points, many of them coming after he cut through the lane before catching a pass and make a quick but effective move to the hoop for a basket.
The Vikings were at their best at the start of the second and third quarters. They took a four-point lead and turned it into a double-digit advantage little more than a minute into the second quarter.
Aiken rallied, using a 10-0 run near the end of the quarter to trim the deficit to eight points at the half. But Spring Valley was even better after intermission, stretching its lead to 20 points midway through the third quarter.
Like Harrell said, his Hornets continued to give great effort all game long. They extended to a full-court press and created more opportunities, just not enough shots fell to put a real scare in the Vikings.
This is one of my favorite gyms to play in, but its always a dogfight here, said Dozier, Sr., who added the officials seemed to be making calls in favor of the home team. But its a good thing we had that lead because Aiken never quits.
For the second time in as many games this season, Shawn Moore led the Hornets in scoring. He topped 30 points again with a game-high 31, although he also struggled finding consistency. Ryan McKie had a solid game with 15 points, and Deon Hicks added eight more for Aiken, which will return to action on Tuesday, when it plays host to Strom Thurmond.
Its a long season and its good to play a good team early in the year to let you know where you stand, Harrell reasoned. Were going to look at the film and evaluate what we see and make corrections.
Spring Valley (2-0)Kenneth Legette 2 1-3 6, Steven Thomas 1 0-0 2, John Miller 4 3-5 12, Dominique Taylor 8 10-12 27, Perry Dozier Jr. 3 7-8 13, Jamil Taborn 2 0-0 4, Jordan Bruner 1 0-0 2, Bernard Whitmore 1 0-0 2, Jabari Johnson 3 1-2 7. Totals: 25 22-30 75.

3-Pointers: Moore (4), Hicks (2), Smith.
Spring Valley girls 42, Aiken 40
In a game it led much of the way, the Aiken girls surrendered the lead in the closing minutes and couldnt hit a game-tying or go-ahead shot in the closing moments of a 42-40 loss to Spring Valley.
Alexis Odom led the Hornets (2-2) with 12 points and Erin Gilmore added eight.
We missed some opportunities and left a lot of points on the court, Aiken head coach Aubrey Pompey said. They made some plays at the end. We were up, but couldnt hold it, Their pressure got to us.
Spring Valleys Cierra Cater posted a game-best 15 in the win.
I feel good we can compete, the girls played hard, Pompey said following the loss to what has been one of the dominant programs in South Carolina the past few years. We can build on it.

WHEN the first Guyana Softball Cup was hosted under the auspices of the Guyana Floodlight Softball Cricket Association (GFSCA) three years ago, Regal Masters won that category while their Open team went under to inaugural champions Cotton Field Wild Oats in a keenly contested affair.Now with the third edition set to bowl off tomorrow, following an opening ceremony at the Georgetown Cricket Club pavilion this afternoon and a photo opportunity tomorrow morning, both Regal Masters and their Open teams will be looking to reclaim the titles in the respective categories.
This was the sentiments expressed by their Managing Director and founder of the team Mahendra 'Anil' Hardyal, who spoke with Chronicle Sport yesterday morning, brimming with confidence while being enthusiastic about the tournament.
"There are so many factors that have been weighed, to coincide with my level of confidence as both the Regal teams head into competition for the third edition of the GFSCA 'Guyana Softball Cup 111.'
To start, one of the factors and the main contributing one at that is the present form being shown by the players in the warm up tournament, wherein we have won three of the four games to date convincingly," said Hardyal.
He added, "Players in the caliber of Chien Gittens, Richard Latiff, skipper Mohammed Ayume, Safraz Esau, Balram Roopnarine and national Under-19 cricketer, Ricardo Adams, amongst others are showing tremendous form and they give me the strong confidence to say we will dominate and win the title this year.
As it relates to the Master's category, the man who led us to the title in the first year, Amanauth Budhoo has returned from the United States to compete this year and will be in the lineup alongside players in the caliber of Jagdesh Bhoj, Lyndon Lyght, Andre Legall, Lance Adams and myself, and we are all looking forward to compete."
Hardyal believes both sides have a score to settle, especially after their performance in the tournament last year and the year before, with the Regal Open team being placed in Zone A to compete against South Florida Cricket League, Wolf Warriors and Smith XI, while the Masters will be doing battle out of Zone B, against SCI Miami, New York President's XI and Industry Super Kings respectively.
The GFSCA 'Guyana Softball Cup 111' will bowl off tomorrow morning at 09:15hrs, following a photo shoot at the Georgetown Cricket Club ground and while admission to the preliminary round matches is free, patrons are asked to pay $500 to witness Sunday's final day of action at the same venue.

Runcorn - Lisses, February 2014. After a preview at EuroShop - EuroCIS (Germany) in February, the AURES Group,now including AURES and J2 Retail Systems, will demonstrate the breadth and innovation of its complementary product ranges at RBTE 2014.
"We're expecting most of our UK customers and prospective clients to visit us at RBTE," explains Moray Boyd*, AURES' Managing Director and Head of the Group in the UK (* formerly J2). "We're proud to be showcasing the combined strengths of the J2 and AURES teams for the very first time".
At RBTE, AURES Technologies UK will unveil a range of new EPOS hardware for points-of-sale and service, including:
sango: with an i5 processor giving more power and greater security.
AURES will preview this new version of the sango terminal, now with a choice of four processors, including a fanless i5 Intel Ivy Bridge. Although fanless, thei5 is on average five times more powerful than previous generation. It delivers unprecedented speed with automatic turbo-boosting when required, supporting multitasking applications without machine slowdown during intensive use.
Thanks to the i5 processor, it is easier and smoother to process till payments while simultaneously broadcasting images, videos and multimedia content on a secondary display screen. Internet browsing and data download are faster too, as are remote data management and stock control.
The performance of most EPOS software running on the 2nd generation sango will be boosted by this increased power. Faster applications, transactions and data processing in front and back office operations can be expected.
Additionally, the fanless i5 processor reduces the check-out area's carbon footprint by guaranteeing lower electricity consumption (only 17W).
AURES' dual-screen solutions take pride of place: sango Evolution and ninô Evolution
For the first time, sango and ninô, the flagship machines in AURES' new EPOS range, will be presented with integrated dual-screen systems.
Customer-facing, secondary screens enable images, text, videos and multimedia content to be broadcast. This is a great way to build loyalty and to personalise the check-out process by broadcasting special offers, running ad' campaigns and entertaining queuing customers.
The secondary, adjustable 10.1-inch screen has LED backlighting, 1024 x 600 px fixed resolution, and 250 cd/m2 brightness.
A full range of associated, custom-made AURES peripherals which can be fully integrated
The ODP 333 receipt printer: ergonomic cubic design with front receipt print-out.
The AURES' ODP 333 thermal receipt printer has a triple interface (including Ethernet) and a front, splash-proof receipt print-out. Its distinctive, ultra-compact cubic design is enhanced by a gloss and matt finish in either 'black piano', or 'pure white'. Its front receipt print-out provides good protection against dust, crumbs and splashes in tough settings such as kitchens, restaurants and bakeries.
The ODP 333's low energy consumption motherboard (Energy Star certified) switches it to standby mode automatically when not in use. This reduces electricity consumption by on average 30%, in line with new environmental and green technology standards. An essential addition to AURES' EPOS terminals.
The 3S 333 cash-drawer: ultra-compact, with an exclusive AURES design.
AURES' ultra-compact cash-drawer (335 mm x 110 mm x 350 mm)is finished to a high standard to complement the brand's other equipment and peripherals. With its AURES-exclusive 'black piano' front cover, ergonomic format and small size compared to traditional cash-drawers, the3S 333 is ideal for even the most confined check-out or service area, fitting under the sango terminal's touchscreen. The 3S 333 is practical, good-looking and robust, suiting it to all retail sectors and to accompany all EPOS terminals and 15-inch touchscreens.
J2 product range : future-proof POS technology with new J2 680L
Also on show will be the J2 680L, a new PC-based touchscreen EPOS terminal designed for retailers and hospitality operators seeking an attractive price-point, rich feature set and high-end performance. The J2 680L utilises latest industry-standard components to offer outstanding of flexibility, speed and extended product life.
"Taking advantage of new generation, high power / low heat chipsets and the latest i3 and i5 Intel processors, our new J2 680L provides unrivalled power and connectivity," explains UK Sales Director Richard Heitmann.
The J2 680L has the latest bezel-free 15-inch high brightness 4:3 LED Backlit display touchscreen, with a choice of True Flat Resistive (TFR) or Projected Capacitive Touch (PCT). It delivers extreme durability and superior optics, for exact and reliable operation. The processors are low power and can be run fan-on or fan-off for harsh environments. The zero-bezel design aids cleaning and repels spills and dirt. Secondary display screens can be run off the system (optional VGA connector or HDMI supports).
In common with other models in the J2 600 family, the J2 680L comes with HDD or SSD as standard; it also can be mounted on a pole, counter-top or wall.
"We are totally committed to extending product life cycles and driving down cost of ownership for our retail and hospitality customers," says Richard Heitmann. "This is a major reason for the success of our J2 600 product range," he concludes.

Cory Monteith, James Gandolfini & More Late Stars Honored at the Emmys
Originally posted 09/22/2013 11:45PM
There was an outcry when the Emmy producers announced that they were paying special tribute during Sunday's telecast to five people the industry had lost over the past year.
The rumblings were so loud about what some saw as favoritism that even Emmys host Neil Patrick Harris stepped into the fray to explain the reasoning.
"I always find the In Memoriam is just really interesting because sometimes it seems weird that they keep the audio on in the house, so some people get applause and some people don't, and it turns it into this weird moment," he told Access Hollywood. "And you want that moment to be honoring those people, and not a competition."

Gone, but not forgotten.
2013 saw many unexpected Hollywood deaths, but the legacy of the beloved stars who passed away will live on in a special expanded Primetime Emmy Awards memoriam segment.
The careers of James Gandolfini, Cory Monteith, Jean Stapleton, Jonathan Winters and Gary David Goldberg will all be highlighted.

Jean Stapleton, the versatile actress who will forever be remembered for her long-running role as the dim-witted but deep-hearted Edith Bunker on the groundbreaking 1970s sitcom All in the Family, died Friday at her home in New York City, her family confirms.
Stapleton, who was 90, succumbed to natural causes.
Having already established a career during the 1950s and early '60s for playing nosy neighbor roles in such Broadway smashes as Damn Yankees, Funny Girl and Bells Are Ringing, in which she played the owner of the titular answering service, Stapleton entered the TV pantheon with her high-pitched comic voice (which was a gross exaggeration of her own), perfect timing (especially when Edith would be slow to catch on to something) and unrelenting love for her husband Archie Bunker (even while overlooking his bigotry, which she never shared).

Dual rates, what's that? :-) I don't bother with that either, I just figure these planes can take the crashes so what's the point. Last weekend in the gym I managed to skip/touch-and-go off the floor a couple different times with just a small chip out of the prop that I didn't notice til I was done flying... good times!

I just built another, I cut it to 22 inches and used a 24 gram Hextronik 3000kv motor, full build, it screams, and it will glide better than the full size I built?? Go figure. With the full size 26 and a 2850 kv motor I RC Speedo'd at a consistent 70 mph, have not clocked the new one yet, but it is noticeably faster. The Hextronik motor takes longer to get to full speed than the Emax motor I used on the 26, but the top speed is greater. Just a hoot.

Just used the rc speedo on the new one, in a small field, about 200 yards x 100 yards wide, not much room for building speed here, got high speeds of 75 mph in this short distance. I also got 1 oddball speed of 109 mph, I think the speedo was wrong there! It could have been a straight in dive who knows? Long story short, the 26 inch, around 65 to 75, 22 inch, around 75 to ???. This is in a small area, 200 yards, less because you have to avoid the surrounding woods.
Your speeds may be correct but you can easily distort the numbers if you don't know how to set up the speed runs.
If you don't or can't continue on a straight line for the entire reading or if you cut the throttle before the speed is calculated the speed on the RCSpeedo will be wrong. The Doppler works by listening to the sound of the plane. Anything that affects the volume or pitch of the sound received will be interpreted and a different speed.

I need to find a larger area as this is too small to get a long straight run at level, but I think the 75 to 85 to be about right as I have flown next to highways with cars traveling at 70 and have easily overtaken them. The rc speedo just gives a number, I already had a pretty good idea of the speed before. A large clear area is needed, amazing performance with both planes, because they will scream, but both can just glide, hang in the wind, incredible range of use, using 2 different motors which spec out about the same, the e-max has more bottom end push, the hextronik has more high end wind. Both work really well. Although the smaller one is much faster, I like the larger, more powerful plane more, the smaller one will eat it alive, but you'd better be wide awake. And most of my runs weren't wide open throttle because your eyes just won't be able to keep up. I'll get some more realistic speeds on my next trip out of town, where I can find some big open fields.

P.S. I have tried out several "wings" one was faster, but none of them were as smooth, I am in Texas, the wind is almost always with us here,"Tornado Alley" a name well earned. Your wing will tolerate more wind than any other! Just performs! I can't break it! Means a lot!Sometimes I do try to break it! Can't be done!
The Doppler says Brent's plane is going 93 mph. Bet we could hit 100 with a little practice and slightly bigger prop.
Fasten your seat belts. This baby can roll!!!!
I wanted to show what a RCSpeedo Doppler app can do on a droid phone. I ran the app while editing the video and left the sound on at about minute 1:00. In flight we had speeds of 87-93+ mph on speed runs. Enjoy.
You may want to go full screen. This is a small plane going fast and it is hard to keep the camera on it when it is close up.
This is the motor Brent used on the Scythe in the video.

Lee (or anyone else), what's the smallest usable size for the fins? I finally got my Scythe built as a relatively light setup (about 6.5 ounces) and I have to keep the 2S 800 battery so far forward I would have to cut out a battery compartment that nearly touches the leading edges (right now it's on velcro). I even tried a 2S 1000 mAh battery and whatever I gain from the added nose weight I lose from the increased perimeter of the battery. I figured my best shot was cutting a little weight off the fins since they are so far back. I am using a pretty light motor (HXT2211 20g) and 6g Suppo servos with carbon fiber pushrods so I don't think the back end can be made much lighter.
Other than that I have to say for a small wing it flies great! I took it out for about 15 minutes at midday between bouts of rain and after a couple clicks of trim it flew very nicely. I took it out again at dusk and ended up battling sustained winds of 12mph or so with gusts above 20 that really made for some white knuckle flying, but I don't think anything else I have that weighs under 200g with a 26" ws would have been flyable at all.
Maiden Flight
All up weight 10.5 ounces
Motor - Emax 2812 - www.hobbyking.com (rewound with 10 winds of 26ga MicroDan Newbie wire)
Prop - 7x6e APC - www.hobbyking.com (cut down to 4.75")
ESC - HobbyKing SS 20amp - www.hobbyking.com (I am not real fond of these ESCs, I had it on hand.)
Servos - New Power XL-9HM - www.EPBuddy.com
Battery - Hyperion G3 CX - 3S 850mAh (25C) - no address because the place I ordered from is no longer in business
The GoPro is not the best camera for this type of flying, especially with something as small as the Scythe. Although, I have to admit, the wide angle made it easier to stay within the frame. I was the only one at the field Sunday. The wind must have scared everyone else away.

During the taping of an upcoming Merv Griffin Show, guest William F. Buckley Jr. was discussing the pilot of a TV documentary series on religion he'd just completed at the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. "Did you get to meet the Pope?" asked Merv. Yes indeed, responded the irrepressible Buckley. "I told him I was getting used to having my own private chapel next to his, he mumbled something in Polish and I was quickly ushered out."
Barre Gaffe
Ali MacGraw has a surprising new off-camera role. Although she admits to having been "outstandingly dreadful" in her own ballet class at age 8, Ali was appointed to the board of New York's Joffrey Ballet. But her fame hasn't quite jetted over the cultural gap. When MacGraw turned up at rehearsal not long ago, one young male dancer executed a faux pas de deux, gushing to the new board member: "You've always been my favorite actress, Miss Bergen."
Ford Is Her Future
In the just-published Charlotte Ford's Book of Modern Manners, the author gives a prospective bride several options on how to handle her future surname, such as keeping her own or going the hyphenated route. For herself, Ford says she has no intention of ever changing her name again, regardless. If she marries a third time, Henry's elder daughter emphasizes, she "would definitely keep the name Ford. I've changed it so often already [Mrs. Stavros Niarchos, '65-'67, and Mrs. Tony Forstmann, '73-78], it would be just too confusing to change again." Charlotte, 39, has even instructed her housekeeper to stop calling her "Mrs. Forstmann." It's Mrs. Ford, please.
Hiss Case
Ex-Yippie Jerry Rubin travels in pretty chic circles these days, including such formerly unacceptable habitats as Manhattan's Russian Tea Room ("Slightly to the left of Carnegie Hall," as it likes to advertise). But old memories die hard. Guests were recently jolted out of their small talk by a loud hiss. It was the former Chicago 7 member's salutation to Pat Nixon, wife of the President whose administration had pushed the prosecution of Vietnam war activists like Rubin. Pat, sitting with daughter Tricia, appeared unruffled.
•Mused Kenny Rogers, having bought the private jet of the president of Mexico to keep his country music entourage comfortable city-hopping on one-night stands: "It seems like yesterday I was having trouble talking my dad into buying me a bike."
•Faces at Virginia's exclusive Madeira girls' school are as bright as the red-leather-bound yearbook, which went to press before the death of Dr. Herman Tarnower. The dedication to headmistress Jean Harris, who is accused of shooting the Scarsdale Diet doctor in a lovers' quarrel, reads: "You have helped us to understand what it means to function in disaster and finish in style."
•Sylvester Stallone, a mere 5'9", seems to have become tired of looking up to Hawks co-star Rutger Hauer, a 6'2" Dutchman. Sly sent Hauer a pair of expensive boots with three-inch heels and a note that read: "Wear these and you won't look so damned short."
•After traveling for three days with John Anderson, his favorite presidential candidate, TV producer Norman Lear bridled at the suggestion that the campaign was supplying him fodder for a new situation comedy. "Are you kidding?" he asked, scornfully. "The whole process is a sitcom."

Twosday Tuesday: Being in Two Places at Once2014-01-14 3 5 Share Tweet
Here at Lomography, we always like looking at the creative and random photos submitted by our community members in our downtime. And, amusingly, we find that there are a lot of snapshots that bear a striking resemblance to one another – be it in the way they were composed or in idea – even though they were taken in different parts of the globe!
We're sure you've heard (or maybe even tried) about straddling the borders of two nearby cities so one could be in two places at once. According to this website, the distance between Japan and United Kingdom is more than 5,900 miles when you travel by air. Logically, then, it's impossible to do the same with these cities when they're in two separate continents altogether. But hey, we're talking photography here, where almost every idea one can think of can be done on film. The solution in this case? Film swaps!
The photo above was the product of a collaboration between Japan's *hodachrome* and UK's *fotobes*. It was taken in the cities of Nagoya and London with a Lomo LC-A+ loaded with the Lomography X-Pro Slide 100.
Meanwhile, this shot was taken by Japanese Lomographers *orangebird* and *akabee*. Orangebird took her part of the photo in Kagawa while akabee in London. It was taken with a Lomo LC-A+ RL loaded with the Fuji Superia 100.
Tune in next Tuesday for the next of twin photos! In the meantime, check out our Twosday Tuesday series in the Lomography magazine!

To be honest, I wanted to hate Burgatory. There's been so much buzz about this place; and because I am sometimes "difficult," I walked in with a poor attitude. However, it didn't take long for the warehouse vibe of patio seating (with heaters), a large centralized bar, and well blended wood/brick/cement textures to readjust my attitude. Furthermore, the interior happens to be award-winning. And you all know that I love a greatly designed space.
|"Thou Shall Not Covet Thy Neighbor's Shake"
|"Honor Thy Burger and Thy Mother"
|"Thou Shall Share Thy Burger Love"
I opted for the Filet Sliders (Beef Tenderloin Sliders with Aged Gruyere, Brandied Peppercorn Sauce, Fire Roasted Red Peppers, Organic Greens and Sweet Onion Straws) on the Fingers section of the menu. I liked them; but next time, I will be going with a Custom Creation.
|And the Burghers...
If you haven't been to this burger spot yet, check it ahhhht. You won't be disappointed. Burgatory's website has a No Wait system, which will give you a heads up about wait time and alerts you via text message.
(3 stars, 3/4)
*I do wonder how many Custom Creations are possible (mathematically speaking)? Anyone who had trig class with me in 11th grade knows that I am incapable of creating an equation with which to work this ahhhhht. But with seven categories for customization, and over sixty-five options within those categories, it really seems like the possibilities are endless. Right?

A fingerprint sensor to provide the ultimate security. A dual-flash camera that reads color temperatures and adapts. A 64-bit processor that adds speed and power.
It's easy to shrug off the latest advances from Apple, which largely seemed to confirm Silicon Valley rumors Tuesday when it unveiled two new iPhones, the 5S and the 5C, that will go on sale Sept. 20.
Yes, it's true: The top-of-the-line iPhone 5S will boast built-in fingerprint authentication, to add a layer of security that would seem sci-fi spectacular if Disney didn't already use something similar at its theme parks. The good news for the spy-shy: Apple says your prints won't be stored on its servers.

Pete Hofmann & the Measured Doses
@ The Bryant Lake Bowl
true pop classicist, Hofmann is back with his backing band the Measured
Doses and celebrating the release of his new record, the sedately grooving
Mermaid on the Rocks. It's been a long three years since
his last effort, Crawling Tall, and the downtime has seen Hofmann
evolve from a brainy pop-rocker to a highly competent torch balladeer
on cuts like the placid, piano-driven "She Balances." Working
with a slew of ace Twin Cities studio men (among them Heath Henjum, Mike
Wisti, Tom Herbers and Jacques Wait), Hofmann has come through with a
set of stately varied material, placing funkified instrumentals ("Chocolate
Bug") right next to countrified waltzes ("Little Boat You
Must Wander this World") and actually pulling both styles off effectively.
Hofmann and his full-band lineup gig somewhat sparingly around town, and
the intimate setting of the Bryant Lake Bowl seems like the ideal venue
for Hofmann's understated and subtly wondrous musical gifts. With
TBA. 9:30 p.m. All Ages. $8 adv/ $10 door. 810 West Lake Street, Mpls.
612-825-8949. Rob van Alstyne
Landing Gear
@ The Triple Rock Social Club
in the making, Landing Gear are finally ready to unveil their first full-length
album, Break-up Songs for Relationships that Never Happened, after
nearly five years on the scene. The reason for all the delays were the
usual set of ailments that tend to beset bands with a knack for cranking
out sexy, radio-ready pop (meaning they got the typical runaround from
a number of larger labels before finally deciding to record and release
their album on local Catlick Records). The behind-the-scenes drama couldn't
matter less once you get the chance to sink your teeth into Break-Up
Songs… though, possibly the finest slice of local finesse-pop
since the Hang Ups unleashed So We Go back in '96. Not too
surprising since frequent HU collaborator Bryan Hanna had his hand in
the studio working as a co-producer with the band and Jason Orris. Things
get a bit '80s in all the right ways on Break-Up Songs…
(dreamy keyboards are a big part of the attraction here) and I've
got a strong feeling that the chiming bitter kiss-off "Surprise,
Surprise" may well end up being my favorite local single of the
year. With Thunder in the Valley, The Umbrella Sequence. 10 p.m. $6.
21+. 629 Cedar Ave. S., Mpls. 612-333-7399. van Alstyne
The Hundred Flowers
@ The 7th St. Entry
riotous rockers The Hundred Flowers may have given their new EP an emotional
bummer title, Love & Loss, but then they went ahead and betrayed
the name right off the bat with a rockin' for life, feel good anthem
("Spread the Disease"—you guessed it the disease of
rock 'n' roll). The quartet of Marc Landry (guitar, vocals),
Ben Bachman (guitar, piano, vocals), Pony Hixon (bass, vocals) and Eric
Tretbar (drums) sound as loose and T. Rex-sexy as ever on the strut-heavy
five tracks that make up Love & Loss. As fun as this stuff might be
to crank in your car it's even better if you're at a club
with a couple drinks under your belt. This gig is doubly huge for the
band, as its both the CD release shindig for their EP and bachelorette
party for Pony. Expect an even higher degree of flamboyant debauchery
than usual. With The Idle Hands and TV Sound. 9 p.m. $6. 21+. 701 First
Ave. N., Mpls. 612-338-8388. van Alstyne
Die Electric
@ The Triple Rock Social Club
Formerly known as the Voltz Unlimited, Die Electric have wisely shifted
names to a much hotter moniker and are about to unleash their debut EP
Push Pull (which coincidentally was originally slated to be a piddling
7") on local mainstay Heart of a Champion Records. Die Electric
proudly uphold the eclectic tradition of Heart's roster, crafting
a rowdy racket that's easy to enjoy, but hard to peg down. The eight
cuts on Push Pull are a sinewy burst of nastiness featuring six
originals alongside covers of The Only Ones ("Oh No") and
Wire ("Sand in My Joints"). Normally I'd say Wire are
the sort of idiosyncratic act that bands would be wise to avoid giving
the cover treatment, so it's a testament to Die Electric's
skills right out of the gate that they're more than able to do the
song justice. With The Red Satyrs, Red Eyed Legends, Belles of Skin City.
9 p.m. $6. 21+. 629 Cedar Ave. S., Mpls. 612-333-7399. Nathan Dean
Northern Lights: The Nine/Eleven Plays
@ Illusion Theater
fall the Illusion Theater in Minneapolis opens its 30th anniversary season
with the premiere of "Northern Lights: The Nine/Eleven Plays."
In their quest to find meaning from the events of 9/11, the Illusion team
put out a national call for short scripts, asking playwrights to respond
in whatever way they wanted to. Overwhelmed by the response of more than
80 submissions from across the county, the theater has selected works
that are largely character-based, and range from deeply moving, to funny,
subtle and poetic. Featured playwrights include Jimmy Breslin, a Pulitzer
Prize-winning columnist for Newsday, as well as several Minnesota writers.
The show includes 10 plays and one film, and runs for two weeks only.
Sept. 18 – 26. Thu. – Sat. 8 p.m.; Sun. 7 p.m. $21; students
and seniors $16. Hennepin Center for the Arts, 6th St. & Hennepin
Ave., Mpls. 612-339-4944. NANCY SARTOR
10 Little Puppets
@ Old Arizona Studios
by popular demand from this year's Fringe Festival, the 5th of November
Puppeteers perform in Dame Crustie's "10 Little Puppets"—a
10-puppet epic farce, featuring murder, mayhem and plenty of potshots
at the Minnesotan way of life. When the ancient British tradition of Punch
and Judy meets the equally ancient British tradition of murder mysteries,
upper crust meets slapstick, gruesome meets comical, and guilty little
puppets are dispatched to their fates! The perfect late-night diversion
for those in search of something irreverent and silly, this show delivers
skillful puppeteering and plenty of laughs. Front row audience members
beware: props have been known to leave the booth at high rates of speed!
Sat., Sept. 18 and Sat., Sept. 25, 11 p.m. $10. 2821 Nicollet Ave.,
S., Mpls. 612-871-0050. AARON NEUMANN
Peace Ball
@ Historic Grain Belt Brewery, Bottling House
its inaugural year, the PEACE (Public Engagement And Community Empowerment)
Foundation, a newly formed nonprofit to address the growing problems of
violence in Mpls, particularly on the city's Northside, and initiated
last spring by concerned citizens and 3 Ward CM Don Samuels, kicks off
their initial fundraiser, the PEACE Ball, with one hell of a gala. An
evening designed to call together the people bringing life to its mission,
this broad collection of supporters may live in very different neighborhoods,
but they stand together against local violence and answer a collective
call to action.
A plethora of artists and musicians, varying from the famous to the soon-to-be,
from the young to visionaries, are donating time and energy to help build
the Foundation. Artists include (name dropin' time): painters Daniel
J. Kinney (Babylon), Brenda Litman (U of M), Clarence Morgan – (Dean
of Faculty @ the U), and up-and-coming Northside artist Richard Amos;
prints by Odessa and Jody Reeb-Myers; sculptures Aldo Moroni, Mina Leirwood
(Peace Shrine), and "Missiles by Terrence." Blues and jazz
from Wain McFarlane with vocals from Telesea Everett; Hip Hop from local
artists the Unknown Prophets, and DJ Walter QBear from KMOJ radio will
be playing dance standards. The Ball is co-hosted hosted by, among others,
Council Member Don Samuels & Sondra Hollinger Samuels, Mayor R.T.
Rybak & Megan O'Hara, Police Chief William McManus and Lourdes McManus.
All ticket donations go to build the foundation, raise awareness about
local violence, connect the broader community to the problem, and support
street-level solutions. If you can't afford these ticket prices but want
to share the mission and the evening, contact the Foundation about purchasing
low cost tickets. This is a great opportunity to meet others promoting
local peace! 7:30 pm until late. $40. Historic Grain Belt Brewery Bottling
House, 79 - Thirteenth Ave. N.E., Mpls. (612.521.4405). CityPeace.org.
Don Irish Honored for Work in Peace and Justice
@ Bush Student Center, Hamline University
The public is invited to a celebration for Don Irish, who will receive
the Award for Peace and Justice by the Vincent L. Hawkinson Foundation.
Don worked for civil rights for African-Americans in Colorado and North
Carolina in the 1930s and '40s. He worked in the Peace Brigades
International to try to stop the Guatemalan death squads from murdering
human rights activists. He has written on Cuba and Columbia and has been
a contributor to this paper. As a leader of the Peace and Justice community
in the Twin Cities, and a member of Fellowship of Reconciliation, he has
worked tirelessly against war for more than 60 years. 4 p.m. Free.

Headwaters Foundation Walk for Justice
@ Boom Island Park
activists have long extolled the necessity and importance of grassroots
organization. At a time when those in power continue to bungle foreign
policy and ignore relevant domestic issues in favor of smear-and-fear
campaigns, it's critical that we heed the call to action. This Sunday,
Headwaters Foundation for Justice has organized its ninth annual Walk
for Justice, where dozens of community leaders will join more than 100
grassroots activist organizations to walk for human rights, economic and
racial justice, and peace. Created in 1984, Headwaters believes that fundamental
social change rests in the hands of ordinary people. The organization
provides financial support through grants to groups that promote strong,
sustainable communities. So show some civic spirit! Get off your ass,
meet some folks who actually give a damn, and stroll along the banks of
the mighty Miss before we're all washed up. Sun., Sept. 19, 11:30
a.m. Boom Island Park, Mpls. SARTOR
Go, Dog. Go!
@ Children's Theatre Company
I went to see "Go, Dog. Go!" again at the Children's
Theatre Company, and this time the humor and knock-down farce overwhelmed
me. It was thoroughly warm and wonderful. The cast is exceptional. Luverne
Seifert as the Top Dog has the audience in the palm of his paw from his
first entrance to the final curtain. Janet Hanson is achingly sweet as
Hattie, the rejected but persistent suitor with a fantastic collection
of hats. Dean Holt, Yellow Dog, has played a dog before on the CTC stage
in "How The Grinch Stole Christmas." He was the dog who stole
that show, and it is a credit to all the other actors in "Go, Dog,
Go!" that he doesn't quite steal this show. But he is easily
the most believable dog and the most endearing. Aug. 17 – Oct. 30,

on November 25, 2013 - 12:01 AM
Dear Jeanne and Leonard: I'm an American living in the U.K. with my boyfriend, and we're going to spend Christmas with his family here. The problem is, he has 11 relatives, for whom we're each expected to buy presents, and this year the "spend limit" is $40 per gift (everyone spends close to the limit). This is breaking my budget. What should I do? I want to recommend a "Secret Santa" gift exchange, but I fear his family will be offended.
– Megan, London
Dear Megan: Rare is the family that welcomes an outsider recommending changes in the way they exchange Christmas presents. So if you want to propose a Secret Santa arrangement, propose it to your boyfriend, and see if he feels comfortable suggesting it to his family. If the idea doesn't fly – with him or with them – ask your boyfriend to ask his relatives to place a spending limit of, say, $20 on the gifts they buy for you, and to explain when he does so that that's all you can afford to spend on their presents.
We know, it's still a lot of money. But you're right: You don't want to offend your boyfriend's family by complaining about the way they celebrate Christmas, especially when you're their guest.
Dear Jeanne and Leonard: I live a time zone away from my elderly mother, so my sister and her husband, who live close to Mom, are the ones who look after her. For this I'm enormously appreciative, BUT: As Mom's gotten older, she's entrusted the management of her money to my sister's husband, "Brian."
The problem is, Brian knows very little about investing. He's simply a periodontist who got lucky buying Google stock a few years back and now thinks he's a hotshot stock-picker. What should I do? My sister will be offended if I say anything about her husband. But I can't afford to help support my mother if she loses her nest egg in the high-flying stocks he buys for her. P.S. I'm not qualified to manage Mom's money either.
– Scott, Oregon
Dear Scott: When it comes to caring for an elderly parent, no one likes a sibling who does none of the heavy lifting but is critical of the job being done by others. What's more, your sister wouldn't be wrong to resent your interference.
But so be it. Unless you're willing to bet that Brian's lucky streak is never going to end, you definitely should raise the issue of his investment choices and lack of qualifications. First, though, do some homework. Contact brokerage firms, mutual fund companies and large banks in your mother's area, and determine which ones offer investment management services well suited to her needs. Since no one is going to thank you for pointing out the problem with Brian, you need to propose a solution – a solution in the form of a vetted list of investment advisers who are unequivocally better qualified than your brother-in-law to look after your mother's money.
Dear Jeanne and Leonard: When checking into a hotel recently, I gave the bellman who brought up our bags two $5 bills. Unfortunately, I'd accidentally folded them in a way that made it appear there was only one bill, and I could see his disappointment as he glanced at the tip while sticking it in his pocket. I'm wondering, was there a graceful way to let him know he hadn't been shorted by some cheapskate?
– A Traveler, South Texas
Dear Traveler: Before he left the room, you should have said: "I may have just made a mistake. Could you be sure I gave you two fives, not one?"
But since you didn't think that fast (not a crime), take solace in the fact that the bellman received the tip you wanted him to have. That's what really matters, not that he mistook you for a miser.
Please email your questions about money and relationships to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Western Nevada County's theatrical community woke up to quite an ovation Monday.
The Sacramento Area Regional Theatre Alliance (SARTA) announced its annual list of nominations for community theater Elly Awards, including 32 individual nods between 11 productions and six local companies and a high school.
Among the highlights are two nominations for Overall Production by Community Asian Theatre of the Sierras (CATS) "The Teahouse of the August Moon" and Sierra Stages production of "Death of a Salesman."
SARTA is an alliance of producing organizations, individual theatre artists and technicians, and administrators formed to foster and promote high quality theatre in the Sacramento area and neighboring regions, according to their website. The Elly Awards includes theatres within a 70-mile radius of Sacramento.
The nominations are for productions that occurred between the summer of 2011 and this spring. More than 400 Elly nominees for the 2011-12 season were announced.
"We're pleased and happy to be acknowledged for the work that we're doing. And happy to be in the company of all the other theater groups that received nominations," said Peter Mason, president of Sierra Stages board of directors. "We try to do our best on each production that we do. We think we put on really quality productions.
"So when we get award nominations, it's great. There's a lot of folks who work really hard to put on our shows."
According to SARTA, this past season 244 shows were submitted by 78 theatres. Sixty-one theatres and 125 productions received nominations. Sierra Stages is among 10 community theatres receiving the most nominations with 12. Others included Sutter Street Theatre; Roseville Theatre Arts Academy; Runaway Stage Productions; El Dorado High School; Flying Monkey Productions; The Acting Company; River City Theatre Company; St. Francis High School and California Stage.
The strong presence of local theater productions among the nominations this year is a reflection of the talent we have in the area - much more than people expect in a rural California community, Mason said.
"There's just a lot of energy around theater right now and there's a lot of really creative people producing great shows," Mason said.
Elly Award nominations include Lead and Supporting Actor and Actress, Director, Costume Design, Lighting Design, Set Design, Overall Production plus Musical Direction and Choreography, if applicable.
The nominations are announced for productions in the following categories: Comedy, Drama, Musical, Original Works, Education- Musicals, Education- Plays, Young People's-Musicals and Young People's- Plays.
Among the youth categories, the Nevada County Performing Arts Guild (PAG) received four nominations for its children's theater productions and Bear River High School received three nominations for its spring production of "Singin' in the Rain."

Mercer's RBI single lifts Pirates over Mariners
SEATTLE -- Jordy Mercer hit a go-ahead single with two outs in the ninth inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Seattle Mariners 4-2 on Wednesday.
The Pirates improved to 48-30 -- they are 18 games over .500 for the first time since 1992, their last winning season.
Neil Walker hit a two-run homer off Felix Hernandez to put Pittsburgh ahead in the fourth. Seattle tied it in the sixth on Raul Ibanez's team-leading 18th home run.
It was 2-all when Pedro Alvarez singled to lead off the ninth inning against reliever Charlie Furbush (1-4) and advanced on a sacrifice bunt from Neil Walker.
After a groundout by Gaby Sanchez, Travis Snider was intentionally walked. Mercer followed with an RBI single off Yoervis Medina, and the Pirates added an insurance run when a wild pitch on a third strike from Medina allowed Snider to score and Starling Marte to reach first base.
Mark Melancon earned his second save of the season. Mike Zunino delivered a pinch-hit single and Nick Franklin singled to put a pair of runners on with two outs in the ninth, but Kyle Seager grounded out.

Hidden process, and block the opening processes such as injection areas and all that, anyone can help me?
Re: hidden process, bloq process
I haven't got a clue what you're talking about. What's an antihack? What's "osea"? What do you mean by "having hidden process" and the rest after that? What's an injection area? A forearm perhaps?

Game 150 Recap: Cubs 2, Brewers 6
- Hah. Just as the game starts, my computer crashes. Maybe it's an omen that tonight isn't the night for my return...
- While it's rebooting, Cameron lines a 2-2 pitch into the left center gap. Edmonds cuts it off, keeps him to a single
- 2-0 on Durham, Soto goes out for a chat.
- Cameron steals second. Replay shows that Soto's absolutely perfect throw just did get Cameron at second, but he's called safe
- and Durham walks.
- as does Braun. This is not good. Missing with the fastball. The walk comes after a very, very generous strike call by Joe West on a 3-1 count.
- Fielder then lines a double down the left field line, all three runs come around to score. 3-0 Brewers with no outs.
- Hardy grounds out to third
- and Hart K's swinging. With that, I'm back up to speed. phew. stupid computer.
- and Counsell K's swinging. 31 pitch first inning. Yeah, I think it was an omen.
- Soriano bounces out to Counsell at third on the first pitch.
- ESPN observes that Cameron has some sort of defensive positioning guide in his back pocket that he's consulting. Their crew hasn't seen that before, neither have I.
- Fontenot K's looking.
- as does Lee. easy first for Sheets, 14 pitches.
- Kendall grounds to Theriot.
- As does Sheets. trots down to first on what might have been a bit of a tough charging play for Theriot.
- Cameron lines a fastball on the outside corner right to Fontenot. Decent recovery inning for Marquis, only 11 pitches.
- Ramirez with a really funky home run. Wails at the first pitch, an inside fastball that looks like it tied him up, and lines it on a frozen rope into the first couple rows of the bleachers, just to the right of the left-field well. Dave O'Brien is three types of astonished at how fast it left the park, says Braun didn't even get his head around before it was out of the park. That's only a slight exaggeration. 3-1Brewers
- DeRosa lines to Braun.
- Sut thinks Soto is a top 10 MVP candidate
- as Braun did, Soto begins trotting to first on ball four, only for Joe West to call it a strike
- lines a drive to the right field warning track, Hart catches it.
- Durham taps one up the first base line. Marquis fields, tags Durham out.
- Braun fists one inside-out to the right-side hole. Goes over Lee, but Fontenot makes a great diving catch on the shallow outfield grass
- and wow, some no-name is warming up in the Brewers pen. Must be something wrong with Sheets?
- Fielder walks
- Hardy lines one through Fielder's legs, as he leaps up to avoid it. Single to right, Fielder to second.
- Hart grounds into a 6-4 force.
- Sheets appears to be leaving the game.
- Mark DiFelice in to pitch. Sheet on the bench looking on.
- Theriot K's looking on what was also a check swing. K-zone suggests, yet again, that Joe West missed the call.
- Marquis lines a bouncer off Fielder's glove. Recovers, takes it to the bag.
- Soriano lines one to the warning track just left of center. Cameron is there for the out.
- Report is tightness of right forearm for Sheets.
- Counsell K's swinging
- Kendall floats one to shallow right, Fontenot races out and to his left, makes a great diving effort, but it's just out of his reach. A single.
- DiFelice bunts Kendall over.
- Cameron lines a sharp grounder to Fontenot's right, picks it easily, out at first.
- Fontenot bounces out to Durham.
- Lee K's on a low and away slider
- Ramirez walks
- Edmonds had been 0-21 against Sheets, now lines one up the middle
for a single. Ramirez to third. Durham had shaded him way around
towards first to pull.
- DeRosa rolls into a 6-4 force out
- Durham flies out to the wall, just short of the ivy in right.
- Braun also flies to DeRosa.
- Fielder smokes one off the top of the ivy just right of center. Hit very hard, Edmonds might have a shot at getting Fielder at second. Makes a slight bobble in glove-to-hand, Fielder makes it in easily.
- Hardy with a sharp liner into right, Fielder has to hold as DeRosa charges it well.
- Hart with a lazy fly to right, Marquis escapes with no damage
- Todd Coffee in.
- Full count, Soto walks.
- Theriot with a shallow chop to third. Counsell goes to second, can't get much on the throw, Theriot safe at first.
- Sutcliffe mentions Z left the game today due to some concern with a grandparent. Best wishes, Z.
- Marquis with a nice bunt to third, Theriot to second.
- Called strike to Soriano, who becomes the latest to lok back at Joe West's call.
- swinging at a slider in the dirt, 0-2
- and K's swinging at another bouncing slider. Boo.
- Counsell with a sharp grounder to Lee's right. Nice pick, throws to Marquis for the out, nicely executed.
- Kendall walks. Gyeh.
- Joe Nelson in to pinch hit for Coffee, 2-0 count to start him out.
- Kendall runs, Marquis with a wild pitch, and Kendall to third. Infield comes in, 2-2 count on Nelson
- and Nelson walks. End of the game for Marquis, Angel Guzman in.
- Sutcliffe compares Guzman to Mariano Rivera.
- Cameron K's swinging at a high 96 mph fastball.
- Durham pops out just behind home place. Another threat avoided. Cubs really ought to pull this one out.
- Carlos Villanueva in to pitch.
- Fontenot K's looking, insider fastball.
- Annnnnnnnnnnd we have our first Bartman reference of the night. Everyone take a drink.
- Cameron makes a nice running, shoe-string catch on a sinking line-drive by Lee.
- Ramirez rips one past Counsell for a single.
- Mitch Stetter in, a lefty to fast edmonds
- Correction, a side-arming lefty.
- Edmonds rolls out to second, inning over.
- Guzman hits Braun with a fastball, looks like it caught a forearm.
- Fielder lines one into center, Braun to third. Runners at corners, no outs.
- Hardy hits one into the right field gap, Braun scores, Fielder to third, double for Hardy. 4-1 Brewers, nuts.
- Kevin Hart warming up. A sign LouPa is willing to treat this one as kind of over?
- It might be. Corey Hart lines a single to left, Fielder and Hardy in, 6-1
- Kevin Hart in.
- Corey Hart runs, Counsell is HBP, but it sure doesn't look like it on the replay.
- Kendal drops down a bunt, runners to 2 and 3.
- Lamb hits for Mitch Stetter
- Lamb flies to shallow-mid left, Soriano throws, Hart is called out. It's just another in a long line of calls that Joe West missed tonight.
- Wow, was Hart safe.
- Gagne relieves Stetter
- DeRosa flies out to Braun.
- Soto looks at a curveball on the outside corner, strike three
- Theriot grounds to short
- Sean Marshall in.
- Cameron with a sharp liner to Edmonds
- Durham hits a sharp one hopper at Ramirez that eats him up. Generously ruled a base hit, although it was a tough play
- Braun lines out to third
- Fielder pops foul to third
- Mota in for Gagne, Hoffpauir hits for Marshall
- and K's swinging
- Soriano walks.
- Fontenot flies to Braun
- Lee with a nice single, Soriano to second.
- and on the first pitch, Ramirez rolls right to hardy, 6-4
- Randy Wells in.
- Hardy K's swinging, Hart grounds to Theriot
- Pujols tells us that we're getting bored with Pujols. Speak for yourself.
- Counsell grounds to Fontenot, very quick inning.
- Salomon Torres in, seventh reliever in seventh inning for the Brewers.
- Edmonds rolls out to second
- DeRosa singles sharply right up the middle.
- Soto rolls one up the middle, first and third.
- Theriot rolls into an easy 6-4-3, but Fielder drops the ball at first - it was a low throw, but didn't bounce, just sort of missed it off the tip of the glove. Run scores, 6-2 game.
- Ward hits for Wells
- and weakly bounces out to Weeks. Game over.
- How do we know it's really me?
- Mockery ensues.
- Palin

soler + hammel for mike trout is pretty much a sure thing. *nods*
Not an inspired outing by Rondon. Seemingly got ahead of every hitter but had no swing and miss pitch today, slider had no bite.
Somebody give Soler some smelling salts - yeesh
And...now that runner scores on a single...
So where do you think Soler will be traded to this off season?
And right on cue he throws to third with no chance to get runner on 2nd so the batter takes 2nd easily. How long has he been playing baseball??
Man you cannot put Soler out there late in games for Playoffs. Yuch...
Such is the life of a fatted calf...
fowler with a triple in the 4th...he's a HR away from a "natural" cycle
...and contreras takes one off the hand and he's in obvious pain. sigh.
he's staying in the game, though he's wringing his hand out during breaks in the action. aside from that he seems to have no issue giving signs or tossing back to the pitcher.
...and he's batting in the cubs half of the following inning. sweet.
his collapse started on august 21st this season...so it's a slight improvement.
but wow, what a collapse since then...only 2 out of 7 can be considered good/decent.
I'm really going to enjoy watching Hammel watch the playoffs.

Set sail for Freeport Restaurant in North East
Behind the Bar looks at area nightspots and the people who own or manage them.
Designed like a lighthouse, with a building attached, the Freeport Restaurant is a beacon for hungry tourists and locals alike. Surrounded by vineyards, the restaurant sits 3 miles from the North East Marina and just up the road from Freeport Beach. In the summer, you're as likely to run into a man in a business suit grabbing a Reuben sandwich as a family in bathing suits picking up sandwiches to go.
The nautical d�cor here gives the feel of an authentic tourist destination, but the rich history offers a homier vibe.
Founded in 1976, the Freeport Restaurant is a third-generation family business. The restaurant is located where Route 5 meets Route 89. Joe and Donna Holdsworth saw potential in that corner and decided to open a restaurant. What started as a small endeavor with three employees has grown into a North East community staple that now employs 30.
"People used to bring their babies in, and now their babies are working for us," said Jerry Holdsworth, Joe and Donna Holdsworth's son, the second-generation owner of the establishment. On any given day you might see him or his son Jake Holdsworth, also part owner, pouring a North East Iced Tea for you.
The d�cor even takes on new meaning when you learn that many of the sunset and local area pictures were taken by Jerry Holdsworth. And the fish on the wall? Well, he and his wife caught those.
The business has formed a perfect symbiosis with local wineries. It is a great destination for anyone looking for a bite to eat, or a different kind of refreshment, after a day spent touring vineyards. Freeport also stocks about 22 different wines from nine local wineries.
With its own smokehouse out back, Freeport specializes in smoked meats and homemade sausages. But you also can't go wrong with the Reuben, prime rib, battered perch sandwiches or homemade soups here. The entire menu is available to go -- great for families who want to picnic on the beach.
The restaurant is located right by Sixteen Mile Creek and Twenty Mile Creek, so don't be surprised on a hot summer day to see someone grabbing lunch in waders.
If you do come in after a long day of fishing, make sure to tell Jake or Jerry Holdsworth a great fishing story.
You can always tell if someone had a good fishing day if you see that person just once in the morning for coffee and later for takeout. But, Jake Holdsworth jokes, if someone had a bad fishing day, you see that person for all three meals.

New Albany police say they've nabbed leader of drug networkUPDATED 5:31 PM EDT May 15, 2014
In what's being called one of the largest methamphetamine bust in the history of the New Albany Police Department and it's brought federal charges against an accused local drug dealer.Video Transcript
A NEW ALBANY MAN IS BEHIND BARS ACCUSED OF BEING THE RING LEADER IN A MAJOR METHAMPHETAMINE DISTRIBUTION NETWORK. AND THE AMOUNT OF METH FOUND IS BREAKING RECORDS. WLKY'S ANN BOWDAN HAS MORE FROM NEW ALBANY. "I'm here outside of the Federal Courthouse in New Albany were they say a recent drug bust is going down in the history books as one of the largest for the New Albany Police Department." "Victor Hugo Ramirez. Mr. Ramirez is 40 years old and he has been indicted by a Federal Grand Jury." THAT RULING CAME DOWN THIS WEEK AGAINST VICTOR RAMIREZ.. A MAN ACCUSED OF BEING A RING LEADER IN A METHAMPHETAMINE DISTRIBUTION NETWORK. "We allege that would involved a significant amount of methamphetamine that was distributed by Mr. Ramirez, not only here in New Albany, but throughout the greater Louisville area." BUT IN MARCH.. A JOINT EFFORT BY NEW ALBANY POLICE AND THE LOCAL FBI TASK FORCE SHUT IT DOWN. RAMIEREZ WAS PULLED OVER NEAR 7TH STREET IN NEW ALBANY.. WHERE AGENTS SAY THEY FOUND A LARGE PACKAGE TIGHTLY WRAPPED IN DUCT TAPE. "At that time, the contents of a package contained in the vehicle was examined and found to contain nearly 720 grams of methamphetamine." POWDERED METH IS USUALLY SOLD BY THE GRAM... ABOUT THE SIZE OF A SUGAR PACKET... AND THAT ONE PACKET CAN BE USED BY 4 TO 5 PEOPLE. SO 720 GRAMS IS SIGNIFICANT. ABOUT A POUND AND A HALF. AUTHORITIES SAY A SUBSEQUENT SEARCH FOUND ABOUT 2 MORE POUNDS OF METH IN RAMIREZ'S POSSESSION.. OR 15-HUNDRED GRAMS.. A STREET VALUE OF 140- THOUSAND DOLLARS. THE NEW ALBANY POLICE CHIEF SAYS IT'S THE LARGEST METH BUST SHE CAN REMEMBER IN THE DEPARTMENT'S HISTORY. "We're very proud of our officers and the work they're done and look forwqard to continuing our relationship with those federal agencies." "If convicted, Ramirez faces at least 10 years behind bars to life and up to a 10 million dollar fine. Here outside the Federal Courthouse, Ann Bowdan, WLKY News." THANKS ANN. THE FEDERAL INDICTMENT AGAINST VICTOR RAMIREZ CHARGES HIM WITH TRAFFICKING IN METH. EVEN THOUGH STATE CHARGES ARE PENDING, THEY COULD BE DROPPED DUE TO THE NEW FEDERAL CHARGES. RIGHT NOW, RAMIREZ IS

Logical Media Network Out of Business
Affiliates of Logical Media were told in a very brief email on March 24th that they were shutting down as of March 27th, and all links would immediately then become in active. There was no phone number for the company listed on their website, and no one was available for comment.
The person that one affiliate was told to contact, Susannah Winemiller-Booth informed PMI that she hadn't worked for the company for a year and was surprised the company was still using her name without permission as a contact.
To all affiliates,
This email is to notify you that Logical Media Network is ceasing its operations and going out of business as of March 27, 2014. As of March27th, all of Logical Media?s links will become inactive. Payment for Marchactivity will be pursuant to the affiliate agreement
Very Truly Yours,
Logical Media Management
Again, raises questions why anyone would do business with a company that not only doesn't list its phone numbers, but has nothing whatsoever about it's owners, management or a real way to pursue them in case of non-payment?
2014-03-25 at 16:18
Logical was a company started by Brent Bell out of Melbourne Au, but he sold it a while back and it has gone downhill since. The company only had brokered offers – no caps, they weren't run professionally. They weren't run professionally before, but after they were sold, it became even lower quality.
I believe one of the sites that had been owned be Logical was shop4freebies.com – I'm not sure if that was a part of the sale or not.
2014-03-25 at 16:33
This company USED to be a great network with brand name clients, how could they just suddenly go out go business?
2014-03-27 at 11:09
I can confirm that Shop4Freebies.com was indeed sold as well, to the same party who purchased Logical Media.
This affiliate network has been very reputable over the years, but as you say the decline in the quality of their offers is undeniable, and the takeover from new management only made it worse.
It will be missed, but there are other fish in the sea, and plenty of other affiliate networks where you can find the exact same offers.
2014-03-27 at 15:07
These guys did really well for our CPA survey campaigns in the market research vertical- in fact their network of mommybloggers was one of the best. Sad to see them go especially so sudden.
2014-03-31 at 10:02
I used to really like working with Logical Media, so this was a pretty big bummer for me.
But hey, time to be resilient! I found another new network that I'm really digging, and hopefully they stick around.
2014-03-31 at 12:57
The company went south when two people with zero experience bought them. Their entire staff jumped ship pretty quickly from what I have heard.
We used to do great with some of their sweepstakes.
Who is going down next in that "Mommy Blogger" niche?
2014-03-31 at 22:34
Did anyone receive any kind of payment for their last commission before they "went out of business"? It's pretty strange that they would tell people only a few days before going out of business. I emailed them asking about the commission and I got an email back a day later stating that everyone would receive their commissions like usual, but when I went to email back, it failed, saying it didn't exist anymore. Whoever owned it probably went bankrupt and decided to sell the business and steal everyone's commission money left in their accounts. I'll probably never see that $60 I had in my account. I'm pissed!
2014-06-05 at 14:18
They owe me a couple hundred dollars…
2014-06-11 at 14:49
They owe me too. I had 67 I couldn't collect
2014-04-02 at 12:19
This is really frustrating — I had around $90 in my account but they don't pay you until you reach $100 — guess I won't see any of that money now 🙁
2014-05-11 at 17:44
I have been trying to contact someone from this company. They never sent me my commissions earned in March – $1,950.00!!!!! If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
2014-05-30 at 10:14
I have not been paid for my March earingings yet either, looks like they scammed me of $190. Can't find anyone to call.

Rolls typeface
Rolls is a typeface by Georg Salden. It belongs to the Eurostile font style, which was created in the seventies by Aldo Novarese. All the usually round letter parts are here converted into straight lines with short corner curves. They thereby acquire an inward openness. To the exterior, however, the verticals follow one after the other, which was already regarded as nicely ornamental, though less reader-friendly, in the broken typefaces of the Middle Ages. In the case of Rolls, some letters were given greater definition by means serifs rather than corner curves. It is rather like a semi-sans-serif and is spaced very tight.
What's really interesting is the rather calligraphic italic, which forms a great contrast to the angular upright. Salden himself said that Rolls is one of his few typefaces that also can be slanted automatically. But only this gentle and zestful italic unfolds its charm.

This poster shows Videon, an experimental typeface which consists of only straight lines. In smaller font sizes, Videon is amazingly legible, and in larger font sizes it is a real eye-catcher. The poster shows the entire story of Utopia by Thomas Morus in its original latin version.

Halloween is nigh. My kids are thrilled. And I'm going to dress up in a costume (nerd) that doesn't require too much accoutrement.
On Halloween we're all for a good scare, too. But a scare tactic? Not so much. Environmental groups want to be taken seriously — and in many cases they should be — but then they come along and release something like this that shows how disconnected they are from mainstream U.S. society.
In order to celebrate a more "green" Halloween the Environmental Working Group urges you and your family to heed the following precautions:
• Kids should avoid face paint (which can contain lead), lipstick, nail polish powder makeup and fragrances (more icky chemicals).
• Skip colored hairspray, which contains toxic chemicals that your child could inhale.
• Don't wear synthetic facemasks or teeth. Masks and fake teeth are made from a variety of synthetic materials that aren't always labeled. Plastics may be softened with endocrine-disrupting phthalates.
• Offer treats that you would like your kids to receive, not sugary candy. Hand out items that have fewer, more natural ingredients (like puffed rice squares and granola).
• Burn more eco-friendly candles — if at all. Candles can give off toxic compounds. Choose fragrance-free candles made from bee, palm or soy wax. Traditional paraffin-wax candles are made from petroleum by-products.

Kids reveal their costumes before going trick or treating on Halloween in Pearland last year.
As I mentioned above, I'm all for being a good steward of the planet, and that means living in the best possible accord our planet's water, land and atmosphere resources.
But environmentalists lose a lot of credibility with many Americans when they put this kind of "helpful" information out. Fact is, if you scare people about everything, they're going to be numb to the stuff they should really care about.
Halloween is a holiday. It's one night. It's fun for adults and kids. And it's OK for your kid to wear face paint.

a) Consider light from a helium-neon laser ( nanometers)striking a pinhole with a diameter of 0.205 . Atwhat angle tothe normal would the first dark ring be observed?
b) Diffraction due to a circular aperture is important inastronomy. Since a telescope has a circular aperture of finitesize, stars are not imaged as points, but rather as diffractionpatterns. Two distinct points are said to be just resolved (i.e.,have the smallest separation for which you can confidently tellthat there are two points instead of just one) when the center ofone point's diffraction pattern is found in the first dark ring ofthe other point's diffraction pattern. This iscalled Rayleigh'scriterion for resolvability.
Consider a telescope with an aperture ofdiameter 1.07 .
What is the angular radius ofthe first dark ring for a point source being imaged by thistelescope? Use nanometersfor the wavelength, since this is near the average for visiblelight.
