Last year Lysacek got 3rd and 2nd in his two events and didn't make the finals. Joubert got 4th in France and 1st in Russia. In the finals he withdrew after the short.
Chan did get 30 points, but then finished dead last in the finals.
I think it's all up for grabs -- especially since the skaters will be looking past the Grand Prix to the Olympics, trying to hit their stride at the right time of year.

Reviews for this host's other properties
nice small apartment that has everything you need for a city break. Good location as it is located close to the train station and only a few minutes walk from the nearest tram station. Not so perfect was the key collection. This took place in a central location, the landlord and this was too far away for us from the apartment.
nettes kleines Apartement, das alles hat, was man für einen Städtetrip braucht. Gute Lage, da es nah am Bahnhof und auch nur ein paar Gehminuten von der nächsten Straßenbahn-Station entfernt ist. Nicht so optimal war die Schlüsselübergabe. Diese fand in einer zentralen Stelle der Vermieter statt und diese war für uns zu weit vom Apartement entfernt.
We would certainly have appreciated more if the apartment was better equipped, it lacked a lot of things, pans, dish towels, corkscrew and wine glasses and so on. In addition, the cleanliness was poor. We booked two other apartments of the same owner at the same time and they had to be canceled because he had not made his update on Windu, a small organization and improvement is needed!
Nous aurions certainement plus apprécié cet appartement s'il avait été mieux équipé, il y manquait énormément de choses, casseroles, linge à vaisselle, tire-bouchon et verres à vin et j'en passe. De plus, la propreté laissait à désirer. Nous avions réservé 2 autres appartements du meme propriétaire au meme moment et ils ont dû être annulés du fait qu'il n'avait pas fait sa mise à jour sur Windu, Une petite organisation et de l'amélioration s'imposent!
The apartment is brilliantly located in a very nice area to go out with very good facilities. With many green oases in the vicinity. Unfortunately, it was not very clean. (Dirty dishes and thick clouds of dust). But this set up quite nicely
Das Apartment ist super gelegen in einem sehr schönen Stadtteil mit sehr guten Gelegenheiten auszugehen. Mit vielen grünen Oasen in der Nähe.
Leider war es nicht gerade sehr sauber. (Geschirr schmutzig und dicke Staubwolken). Dafür aber recht hübsch eingerichtet
Very good location for sightseeing. Apartment. Too bad there is no coffee or tea, and other utensils for a rental basis. A small problem with the relationship with the agency. We chose the transfer proposed by the agency, the person was very late and the start we had to take a taxi because it did not come on time (not serious), especially that the agency had our mobile number because we had called 2 times. At the 3rd recovery agency was closed. If I'm booking again I would be more vigilant.
Très bon emplacement pour les visites. Bel appartement. Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de cafetière, ni théière, et autres ustensiles de bases pour une location. Un petit bémol avec la relation avec l'agence. Nous avions choisi le transfert proposé par l'agence, la personne était très en retard et pour le départ nous avons été obligé de prendre un taxi car il n'est pas venu à l'heure dite (ce n'est pas sérieux) surtout que l'agence avait notre n° de portable car nous les avions appelé à 2 reprises. A la 3 ème reprise l'agence était fermée. Si je dois réserver à nouveau je serais plus vigilante.
It was realy nice
Everything worked out well with organisation. Flat is located quite central in Zizkov (Supermarket is also next door) and you can even walk into the city center. Flat is nice and equipped with everything you need. The only drawback is the bed which is just not very comfortable.
We enjoyed our stay in the house. It was definitely worth the price. It's a little far from the city, but the metro can be reached on foot in 15-20 minutes, and it's about a 15-minute ride into the city.
What we were particularly happy about: The young man in the agency was very friendly and helpful and provided us with maps and all the information we needed; the beds are comfortable; one of the bedrooms has a large en-suite bathroom with a bathtub, there is another bathroom with a shower, and a toilet on the ground floor. The house was generally very clean, the rooms were sparsely furnished but pleasant, and the location was very nice and quiet. The free wi-fi worked without any problems and was a big plus, as was the separate garage.
There were a few things we weren't quite as satisfied with, though: There is no coffee maker, which a fully equipped vacation rental should definitely have, and no dishwasher (which is less of a necessity); there is no living room; we mostly hung out at the dining room table, but a living room with a sofa would have been nicer; it would also have been nice to have nightstands and lamps by the beds so you don't have to get up to turn off the light. The supermarket is near the metro, so also about a 15- to 20-minute walk from the house. We had a problem with the heating on the first day and no hot water on the third, but both of these issues were taken care of promptly once we reported them. Also, be sure to bring your own dish towels.
Overall, we were satisfied with the house and would consider staying there again if we should visit the city in the future.
Very nice hosts! Unproblematic keys, hosts were ready to answer all of our questions and give good insider tips. Most attractions are within walking distance from the apartment, and there are just outside the door tram stop. Have very much enjoyed our stay and will recommend the apartment to fall further!
Sehr nette Gastgeber! Unproblematisches Schlüsselübergabe, Gastgeber waren bereit auch alle unsere Fragen zu beantworten und gute InsiderTipps zu geben. Meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß von der Wohnung erreichbar, außerdem gibt es direkt vor der Tür Tramhaltestelle. Haben unseres Aufenthalt sehr genossen und werden die Wohnung auf jeden fall weiter empfehlen!
Uncomplicated, friendly and helpful. Four instead of five stars because we did not get the booked apartment because according to statements of the Office of the boiler had been canceled at short notice. Alternative apartment was comparable. Office is to recommend! Thank you very much
Unkompliziert, freundlich und hilfsbereit. Vier statt fünf Sterne, da wir nicht das gebuchte Apartement bekommen haben weil laut Aussage des Office der Boiler kurzfristig ausgefallen war. Ausweichapartement war vergleichbar. Office ist weiter zu empfehlen!!! Vielen Dank
The apartment was very clean and looked like on the photos shown. We received a very nice and everything went without any problems. The kitchen might be a little better equipped (toaster would be nice) but for a short stay it was fine. The location was great in the Zizkov district. In the city center, it was not far and the prices of the restaurants were cheaper than in the city. We recommend the apartment and be happy to be back for sure!
Das Apartment war sehr sauber und sah wie auf den abgebildeten Fotos aus. Wir wurden sehr nett empfangen und alles lief ohne Probleme ab.
Die Küche könnte vielleicht etwas besser ausgestattet sein (Toaster wäre praktisch) aber für einen Kurzaufenthalt war es in Ordnung. Die Lage war super im Stadtteil Zizkov. In die Innenstadt war es nicht weit und die Preise der umliegenden Restaurants waren günstiger als in der Innenstadt.
Wir empfehlen das Apartment gerne weiter und werden bestimmt wiederkommen!

As an ADA/disABILITY specialist — and wheelchair user with a service dog — I work with many projects related to both new and retrofit construction of facilities and public rights of way. Each time I see errors that could have been avoided if the whole team — including design, construction, and installation professionals — had been involved in training at each level.
The mistaken belief that everyone on the job knows and understands the reasoning behind Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines and codes is ultimately the reason for change orders — if you're lucky enough to discover the errors during construction. If you aren't, you face lawsuits, U.S. Department of Justice complaints, or end-user injuries that could have been prevented through advanced review of the design, proper fixture choices and locations, and training.
Don't assume that everyone on the project knows the guidelines or the accessibility issues related to disabilities, such as the reasons for height and reach ranges; ground surfaces; detectable warning placements at curb ramps; location of plumbing and restroom fixtures; design and installation of handrails and grab bars; signage contrast; height/location at doorways; or protruding objects (especially "high-low" drinking fountains).
Architects and engineers will tell you they know the guidelines, but all too often they don't understand them, and therefore make errors that facility owners must then rectify. Also, having correct specifications on the blueprints is rarely a guarantee that an untrained front line crew will follow the details related to height installation and reach ranges.
Proper training explains the importance of accessible design, construction, and installation. It provides practical examples through demonstrations, and through pictures of good and bad results. Comprehensive training also explains the logic behind accessible regulations.
One example of the logic that drives regulations is the reach range for a soap dispenser. It is impossible for a child or wheelchair user to reach beyond the vanity counter to the soap dispenser if the vanity is too deep (more than 19 inches) and the soap dispenser is above a 42-inch height from the floor (see image on bottom left).
Almost every time professionals seek consultation and training, the end result is excellent. I must admit that the design team sometimes resists my recommendations more than the actual ground team. I think perhaps it relates to my audacity to show a different approach than has been done before.
For instance, I always stress that it's best to avoid the minimum and maximum measurements, since they are the worst allowances you can use before being illegal. Therefore, go for the midranges. Why force a person to reach up to 48 inches when 42 to 44 inches makes it easier for everyone?
Often I hear that an approach won't work or be accepted by the construction crew or installers. But the reality is, contractors I have trained or worked with will refuse to proceed on a job when they know that the design, fixtures, or locations are wrong. This is because most people take pride in their work, and will follow best practices — and make every effort to avoid errors — when they understand the guidelines and the reasons behind them.
Before the ADA went into effect in 1991, we only had the specific guidelines from the different government agencies to use, which only related to federal or federally funded projects. But now cities, counties, and states have adopted International Building Codes with ICC/ANSI A117.1 for their accessible code regulations. For the most part these codes align with — and sometimes surpass — ADA Accessibility Guidelines.
Take the extra precaution to have an accessibility specialist work with you as part of your team. When everyone on the project team — especially those where the rubber hits the road — is trained, then the outcome is a pleasant surprise of success.
— Michele S. Ohmes, (816-350-2487; email@example.com;yfvdfdzdrbywwacuwwww.michele-able.com) is an ADA specialist who works with public works departments, facility managers, and contractors. She has written an accessibility design manual, "ADA and Accessibility: Let's Get Practical,"now on CD ROM, that is available through the American Public Works Association's Web site: www.apwa.net.

Softened dried pears give this low-fat cheesecake much of its body. For the best taste, let it rest for 24 hours in the refrigerator.
Nutrition Profile:
Healthy Weight
Heart Healthy
High Calcium
Low Calorie
Low Cholesterol
Low Sat Fat
Serves 12
Prep Time 40 min
Total Time 160 min.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
Step 2
Place pears, ginger and water in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer, cover and cook until the liquid has been absorbed and the fruit is softened, 10 to 14 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, process granola in a food processor or blender until finely ground. Pour it into the prepared pan; turn and tilt the pan to coat the sides and press down into the bottom to make an even layer.
Step 4
Transfer the pear mixture to a food processor; process until a coarse paste forms, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Let cool for 10 minutes. Add cottage cheese and cream cheese; process until combined. Add granulated and brown sugars; process until smooth, scraping the sides as necessary. With the processor running, add eggs one at a time. Add flour and vanilla; process until creamy. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Rap the pan against the counter a few times so the granola on the sides falls onto the batter, forming a decorative edge.
Step 5
Bake the cheesecake until set, without a jiggle at the center when the pan is tapped, about 50 minutes. Turn the oven off. Let the cheesecake stand in the oven, with the door ajar, for 1 hour.
Step 6
Transfer the cheesecake to a wire rack to cool for 1 hour. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

*** Needed: Skilled K9 Trainer in Carmichael/Sacramento, California ***
Hello GSDF Members
I am on the hunt for a dog trainer in the Carmichael Area. I've tried doing 'self-made trainer' thing by myself, but with Wolf being my very first German Shepherd, large sized dog, and with a lot of change going on...I humbly admit that I bit off more than what I could chew when it came to assuming responsibility over a breed I am not that fully knowledgeable about.
After moving in with my new roommate, and watching my dog play with her five month old puppy, I did not realize how much in denial I've been in when it came to properly raising and socializing my dog. I'm worried that if I continue to go along this path, that I could be the cause of an unfortunate and avoidable situation.
I realize that all of his current behaviors are 100% my fault, but I'm tired of walking into an establishment, be in a group that I don't feel welcomed in, and fight just to be seen or heard. It's humiliating. Also, I have some major trust issues when it comes to following someone, or taking their advice, and I do not know them personally. I understand that I do not know everything, or even anything, when it comes to training dogs, but I need that from the person I follow too...
If anyone can recommend, review, or point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. I really want to enjoy the time I spend with Wolf, instead of worrying or panicking every time we go somewhere, meet someone, or try something new.
Thank You for Your Time!

Reindeer Christmas Address Stamp
I love the silhouette of the reindeer in the Reindeer Christmas Address Stamp...So simple and nature inspired. This is a great return address stamp for your holiday cards. This custom address stamp comes in a self inking stamp or a wooden stamp version (with or without a handle).••••••••••••••••••••••••••
This rubber stamp comes in three font choices found in the different pictures associated with this listing. Include your font choice with your personalization information in the notes section of checkout. If you don't choose a font, I will create your proof in font choice #1.
The pictures associated with this listing are only computer generated mock ups of the design. They are not actual stamp impressions. Stamp impressions make a more variable imprint.
If you are ordering the self-inking stamp option, you can choose from 5 colors: red, blue, green, purple or black. Indicate your selection in the notes to the seller. If no color choice is made, I will default to black.
Your Personalization
Include your personalization information in the notes section of checkout. I will send you a proof of the design before creation. You can also email me your information at kelly {at} purplelemondesigns.com. You are responsible for checking the proof for complete accuracy. Your order will not be started until your approval of the proof.

If you don't like the font choices available here, I have placed all of the fonts I use on my website at: http://purplelemondesigns.com/fonts. Most fonts will work for stamps. If you choose one that won't work, I will let you know and you can pick another.

I almost wish I had the money to buy the Jets franchise... their fanbase, while not the nicest population ever, doesn't deserve the crap that Woody Johnson has been giving out all this time.
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
I agree with their decision to fire Tannenbaum. That was a good move. However, I don't think a new GM should ever be married to a coach they don't want. The GM needs to be given full authority over HC or at least have one they want to work with. Just like a HC gets to pick his coaching staff.
Woody is too caught up on Rex having gotten them to the championship game twice. It's not the goal. If the goal is SB, get some staff that can get you there. Rex is way in over his head as a HC.
Do not feed the trolls.

Key holder insisted of taking another swipe of 1000 Euro security deposit!
Bath room dated,blocked drains,bed very average for 200 Euro/night overpriced

Very well situated apartment for 4 to 5. Would happily stay there again on my next trip!
Nice appartment in the city center! Everything is close, a supermarket, ... You can go everywhere on foot because it is right in the center. We had a good stay here.
Everything worked perfect.
It was easy to pick up the keys, and we were very satisfied with the appartement.
It was well ecuiped with all what we needed.
It was very closed to everything, the baker, shops with food and cafe's.
We can highly recommend this appartement.
Everything in the apartment worked perfectly, it is exactly as it is in the pictures. Very close to many great places to eat, the metro/RER, grocery stores, shops, and most major attractions are walking distance
The only complaint is also a plus. The apartment is right in the middle of everything, but it can be noisy later at night (especially weekend) and mid morning with tour groups going by. It did not bother me, but I could see how a light sleeper might have a problem with it.
Marvelous apartment, the landlady Diane is extremely pleasant and efficient. Everything worked smoothly.
Highly recommended
The flat was pleasantly decorated and clean. Good location, just by Notre Dame and Boulevard St Michel, and this is a very good asset of course. Unfortunately a very noisy musical bar underneath in the street played loud music until the early hours in the morning. Three of the rings in the cooker did not work from the very beginning of our stay, and the handbook instructions about this particular appliance were not too precise, so we had to work out how to operate the only working ring, it took a while. We indicated this to the agency, but the cooker was not repaired during our stay. The coffee machine did not work from the very beginning of our stay, but it was replaced a couple of days after we arrived. The area is full of restaurants of all types and prices. For us a good point was bookshops nearby, and walking distance from the Centre Pompidou library. The flat was well furnished with plates and pots. The shower cubicle is rather comfortable in size, and the main bed is big and provided with a comfortable mattress. The heating system was efficient. There is a big television set. Wifi internet worked only sporadically for the first half of our stay, but it was fine in the last few days. All in all, we had a pleasant stay despite the problems indicated here.
recommendable !
nice apartment, with an excellent location. It was fully equipment and an adorable furnitures. No noisy, even been in the latin district, but no views and weak wifi. To summ up, we recommend the apartment.

Making Love Last
Barbara Sibbald | Posted 04.30.2012 | Canada Living
Read More: How to Make Love Last, Make Love Last Longer, Keep Relationship Alive, Relationship Advice, Keep Relationship Strong, Relationship Tips, Make Love Last, Canada Living News
The ideal of romantic love is mired in the beginning of the love relationship; the most sexually charged, fleeting period when we are most attracted to one another. This inevitably dissipates, and either the relationship fizzles or slowly unravels, or that we begin the real work of love. And so the question is: How do you make love last?

My cat, on the advice of the veterinarian, is on Zyrtec. My dog, also allergy-ridden, is on Benadryl. My backyard grill, broken in as well as my old John Mayberry first-base glove once was, is getting a workout.
Summer, as The Cars once sang. It turns me upside down.
Summer crushes
Ah, I still remember Lori stepping out of her mom's black Thunderbird to pick up her brother from those steamy preseason high school cross country practices each August before the school year started.
5. Munenori Kawasaki, Blue Jays: The guy got a standing ovation in Toronto last weekend for successfully bunting a man over. Munenori Kawasaki is so lovable, I bet even the Sabermetricians in the crowd who hate the bunt were standing and applauding. Worst moment of this season so far well may be when he was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo when Jose Reyes was activated this week.
4. John Gibbons, Blue Jays: Look, he's a modern-day Billy Martin! Love that the Blue Jays brought him back for a second tour of duty. Nobody works a bullpen with more skill, which is part of the reason why the Jays are making a strong comeback. And, unprecedented, he called a team meeting this week to inform the Jays their beloved teammate, Kawasaki, was being sent out to activate Reyes. Nobody does that.
3. Oakland A's: The great Red Smith once wrote that rooting for the Yankees was like rooting for US Steel. Rooting for Bob Melvin's Athletics is like rooting for the kids running the makeshift lemonade stand on the corner. Give me 500 glasses, kids. And hold the sugar.
2. Matt Harvey, Mets: Getting more and more difficult to make the case against Matt Harvey starting for the National League in the All-Star Game. What a Mets moment this could be.
1. Yasiel Puig, Dodgers: Put aside the numbers. Which are sick. You simply can't take your eyes off of Yasiel Puig wherever he is on the field. He may go deep. He may fire a pea to nail a runner at third. He may ill-advisedly try to stretch a double into a triple.
Summer catches
Catch 'em before you can't.
5. Paul Konerko, White Sox: As classy and steady as there has been in the game, and every bit as meaningful to the White Sox as Derek Jeter is to the Yankees. At 37 and in the last year of his contract and the wheels are going a little threadbare.
4. Todd Helton, Rockies: Mr. Rockie for 17 years. Enjoy him while you can.
3. Davey Johnson, Nationals: "World Series or bust," he proclaimed this spring. Everyone knows this is the final lap for the 70-year-old manager. But will it end in September instead of October?
2. Vin Scully, Dodgers: "It's time for Dodgers baseball" sets hearts a-fluttering all over Los Angeles in the summertime. My guess: "It's time for Marlins baseball" would even sound golden if uttered by Scully. The icon is in his 64th year with the Dodgers, an incredible feat. Order your MLB Extra Innings package now so you can hear the game's poet laureate at work before he retires, which hopefully won't be for another 64 years.
1. Mariano Rivera, Yankees: Like Muhammad Ali: The Greatest. Even retirees in Sacramento are tuning in to savor his final saves.
Best summer stories
Even better than a John Grisham paperback page-turner at the beach.
5. Arizona Diamondbacks: Don't be fooled by all of that "grit" talk. There's a little (maybe even a lot) of talent here, too. Have you seen Paul Goldschmidt swing it?
4. Cleveland Indians: Terry Francona, Mr. Culture Changer.
3. Cabrera's Triple Crown pursuit: Can Miguel Cabrera become the first man ever to win back-to-back Triple Crowns? Baltimore's Chris Davis will have something to say about that in the home run department.
2. San Diego Padres: In his spare time, Bud Black pulls rabbits out of hats and the Queen of Diamonds from behind your ear.
1. Pittsburgh Pirates: Hey Pops Stargell, Andrew McCutchen, Pedro Alvarez, Gerrit Cole and Co. are so close to adding another special chapter to a special franchise's legacy.
Summer songs
Car window down, stereo cranked up.
5a. All Summer Long, Kid Rock: "Splashin' by the sand bar, talkin' by the camp fire, it's the simple things in life like when and where."
5b. Toes, Zac Brown Band: "The senoritas don't care-o when there's no dinero."
4. Horizontal Bop, Bob Seger: "The music's gettin' louder, the beat's gettin' fast, summer's finally made it, yeah, it's finally here at last."
3. No Surrender, Bruce Springsteen: "We learned more from a three-minute record, baby, than we ever learned in school."
2. Knee Deep, Zac Brown Band with Jimmy Buffett: "It's a sweet, sweet life, living by the salty sea."
1. Brown-Eyed Girl, Van Morrison: "Behind the stadium with you, my brown-eyed girl." Winner and all-time champion.
Summer road construction
It's hell on traffic.
5a. Matt Kemp, Dodgers: Worse than the I-405 shutdowns in Southern California this summer. Yikes.
5b. Josh Hamilton, Agels: Makes Matt Kemp look good.
4. Milwaukee Brewers: Where have you gone, Corey Hart? And Ryan Braun? And, what the hell, Zack Greinke and CC Sabathia too?
3. Los Angeles Dodgers: Terrible so far, but at six back and showing signs of a pulse, they could be back in contention in this division by the All-Star break.
2. Chicago Cubs: At least they have Anthony Rizzo, who, in 161 games since being recalled last June 26, ranked fourth among NL first basemen with 27 home runs and fifth with 92 RBI.
1. Los Angeles Angels: Nothing Los Angeles nor angelic about these guys as they continue to lose ballgames and make Mike Scioscia squirm.
Your 15 minutes of fame ...
... have now been reduced to two minutes. Whaddaya want in a short-attention span society?
4. Bryce Harper: Knee injury? Next!
3. Theo Epstein: Apparently hidden somewhere deep within Chicago's Witness Protection program while waiting for the old magic to return.
2. Stephen Strasburg, Nationals: Harvey, Cole, Zack Wheeler, Matt Moore, Kevin Gausman, Shelby Miller, Jose Fernandez … suddenly, Strasburg, 24 and having made only 59 career starts, is viewed like an old graybeard. What, we're now measuring players in dog years in the digital age?
1. No-hitters: Where'd they all go?
Top trade targets
Paper or plastic (or do you live in one of those communities that has outlawed plastic)? July 31 is just around the corner.
5. Ricky Nolasco, Marlins: Going, going ...
4. Matt Garza, Cubs: Maybe finally trading Garza will bring at least a little of the buzz back to good ol' Wrigley Field.
3. Cliff Lee, Phillies: But will the Phillies deal?
2. Yovani Gallardo, Brewers: But will the Brewers deal?
1. Giancarlo Stanton, Marlins: We know he's gone. We just don't know if it's this summer, this winter or next summer.
Summer essentials
Hey, hey, HEY! Candlesticks always make a nice gift.
5. Bull Durham on DVD: It's the 25th anniversary. Oh my goodness, can Annie Savoy really be that old? You'd better set aside an evening this summer to see for yourself.
4. Mountain Dew: For the 18-year-old kid in all of us.
3. Hammock: For that middle-aged guy (or gal) in all of us.
2. Sunblock: But only if it smells like coconut oil. Four out of five doctors say if it doesn't, forget it and just burn. I think that's right.
1. A shade tree: Because we all need a good place to read away from the beach.
Best summer trends
Greek yogurt is where it's at, baby.
5. Michael Cuddyer's hitting streak: After breaking Dante Bichette's club record of 23, Cuddyer's now at 24 and going for John Denver's Rocky Mountain High.
4. Food trucks: I can tell you unequivocally, the Slice of Milwaukee pizza that came from the Street-Za truck in that city the other day was day-rocking delicious.
3. Young pitchers: Harvey, Wheeler, Fernandez, Gausman, Miller, Mark Fidrych … OK, just testing to see whether you're paying attention or thinking about Words With Friends.
2. Chris Davis' power show: Forget Josh Hamilton. Maybe the Rangers are sorry they let this guy go.
2a. Jean Segura's burst: Leads the NL in hits and is tied with Brewers Carlos Gomez for the lead in triples. Summer is for sequels and the Brewers have Ignitor II. Can he develop as brilliantly as Paul Molitor did?
1. Max Scherzer, 11-0: All-Star Game starter, Cy Young debate … Scherzer, for the win.
Best summer secrets
Because who doesn't love a juicy secret.
5. It stays light until 9:30 or 10 p.m. in the Pacific Northwest and Upper Midwest: Shhh, don't tell anyone. Or people will flee Florida and Arizona in a reverse-snowbird trend.
4. Jose Fernandez, Marlins: Speaking of Florida, yes, there are at least a couple of reasons to pay attention to the (improving) Marlins. Fernandez is one of them.
3. Coconut water: Mmmmm.
2. Josh Donaldson, A's: Is it me, or does he hit one home run every evening?
1. Padres defense: Slicker than your old backyard slip-n-slide. Seriously. These guys can pick it, grab it, dive after it and contort themselves in every other direction to Hoover the baseballs into the gloves.
Best ice cream
Because it is one of the essential food groups this time of year.
5. Adele's Frozen Custard, Excelsior, Minn.: The Flavor of the Day is so good it is worth returning to every … single … day … all … summer … long.
4. Gilles Frozen Custard, Milwaukee: Favored by both commissioner Bud Selig and me. The Reese's Peanut Butter Cup custard is just about perfect.
3. Friendly's: I'll take a Reese's Pieces Sundae, please. Or a Fribble.
2. Baskin-Robbins Jamocha Almond Fudge: As timeless a classic as the toaster.
1. Ben & Jerry's Milk & Cookies: Quite possibly the finest ice cream ever made.
Summer pleasures
If these guys are playing, I'm watching.
5. Torii Hunter, Tigers: Has always combined Mary Tyler Moore's smile with a child's joy. Always.
4. Miguel Cabrera, Tigers: Hit man.
3. Mike Trout, Angels: How cool is it going to be, in 20 years, to say we saw him at the beginning?
2. Manny Machado, Orioles: Grace, skill and, wow, what instincts.
1. Dustin Pedroia, Red Sox: Human version of those 5 Hour Energy Drinks.
1a. Yadier Molina, Cardinals, and Buster Posey, Giants: See you at the All-Star Game.
But it's hard to get angry in the summer, isn't it?
5. The Wave: Please ... just ... stop.
4. Throwing it back: If you are in the seats at Wrigley Field, where the art of tossing back a rival's home run was invented, by all means, do it. If you are anywhere other than Wrigley, sorry, it is just a cheap imitation of the original. If you don't want the ball, at least give it to the kid next to you.
3. Flying: They've squeezed the seats so close together your knees are in your chin. It takes three days to unfold and stretch back out. Miserable and inhumane. And that's before we even get to the security lines.
2. Cracker Jack: Not to sound un-patriotic, but does anybody eat this anymore?
1. Monster free agent deals: Albert Pujols, Josh Hamilton, Zack Greinke, C.J. Wilson, Carl Crawford, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira. Diminishing returns, and quickly.
As Kid Rock sings, it's the simple things in life like when and where.
5. Parking 10 blocks away from the ballpark and walking: Forget the price of tickets. Who can afford parking? Besides, who couldn't use a nice walk on a summer evening?
4. John Fogerty's new disc: Wrote a Song for Everyone, which includes collaborations with Bob Seger, Foo Fighters, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Jennifer Hudson, Zac Brown Band, Miranda Lambert and others, is terrific. Besides, don't you need something from Fogerty other than Centerfield after all of these years?
3. Sirius/XM satellite radio: Every game, every night, local broadcasters. You can get a feel for what's going on in Milwaukee, what the weather is in Minnesota and our pal Alex Rodriguez's latest tweets in New York. You can do all of this while sitting outside on your patio until late, ice chest nearby, chips and salsa on the table, talking with friends into the night.
2. Triples: The most exciting play in baseball.
1. Extra innings: So far in 2013, according to Stats LLC, 10.6 percent of major-league games have gone to extra innings. This continues, it will be the highest rate since 1965, when 11 percent of games went into extra innings. Keep 'em coming.
Best summer baseball memories
5. Summer rec-league softball: Anticipation of those week-night games helped make the time go more quickly while working my summer job. The last gasps of a Pete Rose wannabe (ah, those head-first slides on the dusty infields!).
4. Pickup games in the park as a kid: Does anybody play pickup games anymore? Ever? Everything is so formal and organized. I blame adults everywhere.
3. Slinging my glove over the handlebars of my old Schwinn: And pedaling. Anywhere.
2. Wiffle Ball: Love Wiffle Ball.
1. Listening to Ernie Harwell and Paul Carey on WJR: At home. In the backyard. In the ticket booth working my summer job at a state park on Lake Erie. In the car. (Sounds like the plot line for a Dr. Seuss book, doesn't it?!).
Happy summer. Soak up the sun. And make the most of these long days.

I have been seeing a lot of complaints about logitech not having a driver for thier premium usb headsets, I used this on my hp laptop for my "Logitech Premium USB headset". I compiled this for those people. Hope it helps. Might work for some other headsets also as thier are other listed in the install information. This is the windows usb wdma audio driver for usb audio. Just unzip it using winrar and when windows ask for the driver tell it you want to have it search in a specific location and browse to the folder you just unzipped
(Make sure you remember where you unzipped the folder too)

[quote user="BlueSanta"]What I have for today, some are carry overs from day 1...
1) Kirk Cousins has been the best performing QB. Scouts are liking his arm. Kellen Moore's continues to struggle at any throw downfield or sideline. I think at this point his chances of being drafted are slim and narrowed down only to west coast teams. He has looked very intelligent and accurate on short throws but it was noted that today he was trying extra hard to put umph on downfield throws and it was negatively effecting his mechanics. Wilson, a guy who's measurables had scouts worried yesterday, seems to be doing pretty well. He has had some flashes of briliance. I have read more than once that scouts love his high release point, a necessity for a short guy.
2) Prolly the biggest day 2 loser was Chris Polk(RB Washington.) This was dissapointing to see. Aparently ,they spent a lot of time in pass protection among RBs and Polk consistently lost battles and showed poor technique. More than 1 scout refered to him as slow. It was noted that it took him too long to acclerate and that at max speed he ran very upright.
3) Isaiah Pead, a guy who had scouts worried at the weigh in yesterday, has done well for himself. A couple ppl have said he is the best all around performing back so far. He even showed some fight in picking up blocks.
4) Doug martin and Dan Herron have also shown well for themselves running the ball. Speaking of backs, the bengals have spent a large bulk of their time interviewing backs. They spent a lot of time with Martin and Pead.
5) Jeff Allen(T Illinois) struggled today in many of the matchups he faced. His stock has dropped.
6) Aparently Dwight Jones (Wr NC) has really struggled getting off the LoS in press coverage. Thats not good for a big WR.
7) 1 scout noted that Marquis Maze, even though he hasnt been on the field that much, has hurt himelf. He has come across immature in conversations. He also appeared overwieght....
8) It wasnt a good day for the TEs. Igwenagu dropped 2 easy completions and has struggled. Egnew isnt a blocker(we kinda knew that) although he did ok vs speed rushers. It was the bulls who trounced em.
9) Qinton Coples and Courtney Upshaw have had their way with whoever lines up against them. Coples is reportedly showing more technique than expected to go with his raw athleticism and Upshaw is aparently unstoppably powerful. Upshaw was the best as far as setting the edge and keeping contain as well. 1 guy said he is James Harrison jr. Its been said though, that these 2 really outclass anyone lined up against them and therefor its hard to evaluate both sides.
10) Lastly, it would be a mistake to forget to mention the CBs. Most feel the defensive talent on the field this week overshadows the offensive talent. At no position is this more evident than in the defensive backfield. 3 guys names came up repeatedly. Casey Heyward, Jamell Flemming, and George Iioka. George has been a hot topic aparently. The conversation revolving around what position he will play in the NFL. Coming into this week everyone said "No a 6' 4 guy cant be a corner." But, he is showing cover skills. I still think he may end up as a safety in the NFL but someone is going to reach for this kid because he is so versatile. This is a kid who can cover those hybrid TE/WRwe see popping up around the league. He may be a mold breaker too. He aparently had a highlight interception today that was the play of the day. Flemming and Heyward have been blanketting WRs in 1v1 and in scrimmage since getting to mobile.The major exception is still Alphonzo Dennard, who struggles covering when he has to turn and run. He had 1 nice play today, and plays well as long as the ball is in front of him and he doesnt have to turn his hips.
shuld be more info on south guys tomorrow...
[/quote] THere ya go with Casey Hayward!!lol I can't say enough about that kid! Iloka also is a guy everyone including myself(put em in last mock i believe) have been really taking aliking to.. As for the RB's its not that hard to see Doug martin and Isaiah Pead are sensational backs and probably right there if not better then lamar miller and David Wilson.. Doug martin and Casey Hayward were both on my most Underrated list i made last week and there quickly becoming what looks like fast risers in this yrs draft.. I still like Polk alot but these reports are dropping him a tad on my personal rankings..

Took the boy camping here in central Texas. Intended for it to be a two nighter, but it hit 107 the first day and was going on more of the same when we called it quits after lunch. Replacement number two for my ten year old cheap tent is going back to the store after one trip. Two of the straps that clip onto the bendy poles pulled out of the seams. The prior contestant came with a pre-broke zipper. I borrowed a canvas wall tent for one trip when my old ten first failed, and it was a great trip, but probably more hassle than it is worth for an over night or two. A quality light tent seems to be almost as much as a good canvas wall tent these days. My cheap-o tent did 4 months outdoors over ten years, and before the fabric started tearing, I only had to periodically re-elastic the poles. Seems that you are hard pressed to get a cheap tent through one trip now.
I am getting to the point that if I had the room for it, I would buy a small camper. When I lived in AZ, I used to use my buddy's more than he did. I was nice to come back to A/C comfort and a shower after a day's playing out in the heat. The wife even went camping occasionally.
The good news was that the aluminium folding table worked great. The 30+ year old nesting family sized cooking kit that my dad gave me when we visited in July worked out. Still need to fiddle with the coffee pot he gave me. I have removed more things from my list of stuff to take camping so if I can get a tent that works, it will go easier. I have the totes labeled "camping", "hot camping", "cold camping" so it is getting closer to my goal of just adding food, water, and clothes to the pre-packaged stuff.


text: I spun some capped honey the other day, and left the extracting tools outside for the bees to clean up. Well, after a couple of days there was no signs of bees on the equiptment. Yesterday I found the bees on a bright pink coral vine, so I put a tray wright under where they were feeding. I never saw one bee interested in the honey. My only guess is that we must have a great fall honey flow going on. What are your thoughts?

During the period of the Spanish conquest of Guatemala, the shores of the lake were the scene of the great battle in which the Spanish and their Kakchiquel allies defeated the Tzutuhils. The Spanish set up a church and monastery in Panajachel soon afterward, and used the town as a center for converting the Indians of the region to the Catholic faith. The original facade of the church stills stands, and is one of the gems of the colonial style in Guatemala.
The lakes formation is as dramatic as its beauty. According to geological history, the area was once an immense volcanic mountain that blew it's top off some 85,000 years ago in a massive explosion. It's ashes and rocks are as said, have been found as far south as Panama and had world wide climactic effects. Hence, today's lake is actually the crater of a massive volcano.
Continued volcanic activity formed the three towering volcanoes we see today, El Tolima, Atitlan, and San Pedro, reaching up to 3357 meters above sea level in the southern shores. These are joined by the Cerro Chico or Santa Clara peak, reaching approximately 2430 meters above sea level. And on the western shores are Cerro San Marcos and Cerro Cristalino, subsidiary cones of the three volcanoes, with their peaks reaching 2918 and 2251 meters above sea level respectively.
Adding the adjacent mountains and other nearby Cerros, rising up to a 1000 meters on both sides, and you have a natural picturesque frame for the lake. A true awe inspiring setting for the lake's water surface which measures approximately 125 square kilometers, 18 km across at it's widest point, 400 m deep at the center, and situated at 1560 meters above sea level.
Scenic routes, beaches & lakeside villages, complement the lake's beauty. Its celebrated villages are situated lakeside at the skirts of the volcanoes & mountains, and are spectacles en their own right. Their Indian markets are great to shop for handicrafts and textiles, as well as sensational culture absorption.
The complete name of this town is San Francisco Panajachel. It is a pre-Columbian settlement of Kakchiquel origin founded on the Panajachel river and at the lake's edge. It was the scene of the final battle between the Spaniards and their Kakchiquel allies against the Tzutujiles, and the site at which Franciscan friars founded a convent. Today this charming town, situated among coffee plantations, gardens, and vegetable plots, is the most important township in the area. Here you will find the largest concentration of hotels, restaurants, discotheques, entertainment centers, businesses and of course tourists, as it's a great place to shop for clothing, textiles and handcrafts.
A fascinating historical town of Roman Catholic, evangelical and Maximón worship, also known for its traditional paintings and clothing. The veneration of Maximón by the Maya has taken place for centuries and is one of the most outstanding religious practices in this district. The Maya pray to this man-like wooden statue often found wearing a hat, scarf, and suit. Smoking cigars, with cigarettes, alcohol and flowers are brought as offerings in return for good harvest, success, rain, sun, luck, and everything else one can pray for. The deity is part of the Maya Tzutujil cultural universe, and through the hybridization of rituals, it represents the cultural persistence of the communities around the lake, especially of this city.
This small, tranquil and authentic Kakchiquel town is easily accessible to B'alam ya (approximately 30 minutes walking). Known for its distinctive huipil (embroidered traditional clothing), Santa Catarina also is home to the famous Casa Palopo, arguably the best fine dining in Lake Atitlan. One major attraction is the whitewashed church in the town center adorned with monuments of saints of worship. There is also a hot springs at lakeside nearby the village.

Carolyn Hax: Neglected sibling says 'no thanks'
Sun., Jan. 6, 2013, midnight
Dear Carolyn: As the youngest of seven kids by a fair margin, and who didn't resemble anyone on either side of the family, I was always ostracized by my father, who made it very clear to everyone that I was not his. My siblings followed his lead and the only vaguely familial relationship I've had in the past 30 years was with my mother and my husband's family.
Recently, in a twist worthy of a soap opera, one of my brothers needed a transplant and surprise, surprise, I was the only compatible donor.
I guess that was enough to prove paternity to them, because now I'm receiving invitations to family gatherings, but no apologies, as though we've always been close.
It would have meant everything to me when I was younger, but after years of being treated like a non-entity, I've made my peace, and have no desire to associate with them. I wasn't going to let my brother suffer, but wonder if they would have done the same for me.
How do I tactfully tell them to leave me alone? I don't want to hurt my mother (or any of them, really), but the thought of pretending the last 30 years of neglect never happened is incredibly annoying and pretty hurtful. – Anonymous
I suppose it's glib to say you're all set, you gave at the doctor's office.
Fortunately, your phrasing here seems ideal: "[These invitations] would have meant everything to me when I was younger, but after years of being treated like a non-entity, I've made my peace." It allows you to make your point while choosing not to say – out of what is clearly an ingrained sense of decency – that they've shown you their souls as they've shown no one else, and you want to get no closer to people of such low quality.
As a proponent of inclusion and forgiveness wherever possible, I'd usually turn now to an argument for accepting these invitations anyway.
But there's nothing to work with here. A freshly minted adult could be excused for not yet connecting the dots that you were an innocent being punished for your mother's real or imagined transgressions – but the next oldest is nearly 40. Not one of them has stumbled upon shame as the proper emotion with which to greet you?
I don't mean now that the "truth" is out; I'm talking about long ago, since the truth of your innocence and fundamental human worth has been out for 30 years.
If your family were capable of grasping their role as your unwitting moral tutors, then surely they'd be proud of the way you turned out. Your thanks-but-no-thanks stance isn't hurtful; it's a right they helped you earn.

Movie Review: 42

Is it possible to make a shiny, glossy, upbeat movie about racism? Apparently it is.

Director: Brian Helgeland
MPAA Rating: PG-13
Studio: Warner Bros
Stars: Chadwick Boseman, Harrison Ford, Nicole Beharie
Apparently, it's possible to make a shiny, glossy, upbeat movie about racism. The evidence is on display in theaters showing 42, writer-director Brian Helgeland's enjoyable, inspirational, very Hollywood sports movie in which Harrison Ford plays the trailblazing Brooklyn Dodgers general manager who in the mid-1940s broke the so-called color barrier by recruiting Jackie Robinson to his lily-white team.
Robinson is a rich, if tricky, subject—a complex, opinionated, justifiably bristly man who has long been canonized as the civil rights icon and legend that he was. The movie wisely narrows its focus to 1947, a year during which Robinson, Jim Crow and segregation are in full, ugly swing. In that one year, Robinson found not only glory but also condescension, ridicule and stomach-churning "tolerance." But unless you're going to treat biography as hagiography, it's important to find the warts, the glory, the beating heart and the humanity under those larger-than-life trappings.
Playing Robinson, actor/playwright Chadwick Boseman is a strong, compelling presence capable of filling in the blanks when the movie around him feels too polite, its rough edges sanded down. Boseman's scenes with teammates and cronies—Christopher Meloni as Leo Durocher, Andre Holland as sportswriter Wendell Smith, a terrific Alan Tudyk as racist Philadelphia Phillies manager Ben Chapman and Lucas Black as ace shortstop Pee Wee Reese—are among the best in the movie. The recently dour Harrison Ford, as Rickey, is in full-throttle Jack Nicholson or, more to the point, John Goodman mode here. Waggling his bushy brows, chawing on a cigar, Ford may be hickory-cured ham but at least he's lively and a hell of a lot of fun.
The movie's sentimentality may be overblown, its production values overly gleaming, but, when it comes to delivering lump-in-the-throat moments, 42 scores a big, fat, emotional home run.

It's time to #OccupyAIPAC
Posted by Medea Benjamin in Economic Activism for Palestine, Global Exchange News & Events on 7th February, 2012 | No Comments
With the Occupy movement that has swept the country demanding social and economic justice, many have concluded that AIPAC—the powerful pro-Israeli government lobby that distorts U.S. policy in the Middle East— is a mandatory "occupy target". Timed to coincide with the annual AIPAC policy conference in March 2012, the Occupy AIPAC summit will be a long weekend of teach-ins, cultural performances, protests and creative direct actions, and more.

text: i have a question which could be caused by a faulty something or another in the fuel/air monitoring system. my truck, usually when maintaining a speed between 43 and 53 mph, not at any certain rpm, will kinda rev up and down, up and down, up and down... etc, almost like its about to down shift but it doesnt, it just keeps pulsing like that until i mash the gas a little more, and it normally only happens when i am going up a slight-moderate incline. do any of you think it could be due to a faulty O2 sensor, or maybe dirty injectors? or if it is another problem, i will post it in its proper place, but if it is related to a bad sensor then whatever. i also noticed it this weekend when returning from tenn, it did it but not as bad, at around 85 or so

text: I have a field that's about 5 acres that I want to plough or disc and plant bee forage plants. I am in zone 7b with hot summers and fairly mild winters (usually few freezes with a usual maximum low temp in the high teens or low 20's). Does anyone have suggestions as to what would make good bee foraging fields in the south central US? The soil here is very dark with a fairly high clay content and a higher than neutral pH. I have considered vetch since I know from experience that it grows well here, but would appreciate some other suggestions. Thanks for any info

Piers Morgan: Alex Jones is the best advertisement for gun control you could wish for
posted at 4:01 pm on January 8, 2013 by Allahpundit
Last night's cable-news car crash reminded me of how reporters used to go to tea-party rallies and seek out the nuttiest people they could find for self-discrediting quotes and photos. A cheap tactic to smear the whole group, but an effective one. Took Morgan awhile but somehow he figured out that insulting soft-spoken gun-rights advocates to their faces is less persuasive than letting a guy famous for 9/11 conspiracy theories shriek about guns and 1776 and the New World Order on camera for 15 minutes. Dave Weigel says the segment was actually proof of how lame an interviewer Morgan is since he failed to really challenge Jones at any point. I dunno. The segment was designed to be a freak show that would hopefully alienate fencesitters from the gun-rights cause. Why interrupt the star attraction during his performance? It's like criticizing a skeptic for inviting the "experts" from "Ancient Aliens" on and then not asking thoughtful questions about aerodynamics. Just wind 'em up and let 'em go.
"He was the best advertisement for gun control you could wish for," Morgan told POLITICO.
"That kind of vitriol, hatred, and zealotry is really quite scary. I didn't feel threatened by him, but I'm concerned that someone like him has that level of influence," Morgan said. "There's got to be a level of discourse that can rise above what happened last night. It was undignified, unedifying."…
"Sometimes it's better to let somebody have the rope they need to tie themselves in knots," Morgan told POLITICO, noting that he had been far more vocal and more passionate in previous interviews with gun advocates. According to Morgan, Jones continued ranting straight through the commercial break that divided the two-segment interview…
"He is clearly a smart guy under the craziness," Morgan said. "Look, you could tell from the way he ranted that he's not a stupid man. But that makes him more dangerous. There will be lots of people who follow him avidly who are not so intelligent, who believe everything he says."
As a chaser after yesterday's shot, skip to 2:40 and listen as Mike Bloomberg's plot to assassinate Jones with NYPD mafia dressed as crackheads is exposed. Any follow-up questions, anyone?

I was seriously comtemplating selling my beestuffs and getting out of it.
It wasn't as I thought going into this hobby.
I'd wanted to have beehives for years. I've always thought this was a wonderful pastime with a little work, I'd get all the honey I wanted for my teas, breads, and peanut butter sandwiches.
Then I learned how much works it takes to get your foundation drawn in a year, it may not get all drawn out in a year. I have a hive that's a year and a half old and still hasn't drawn out all the deep frames. ???
Then I was hit with the reality of the bees vulnerabilities, mites moths dysentery and viruses and spent my days worring about them and nights studying about them.
Yep, I almost quit.
I have good hives now, I could sell every stand for 120.00 each, but I can't do it.
They're my pets, my little darlings.
What has happened to me? #;^)

If you go to Wikipedia and look up the KISS principle you will see many definitions of what KISS could mean. From 'keep it simple stupid' to 'keep it short and simple'.
My favourite definition of KISS is 'keep it simple and sincere'. And I believe a lot of marketing works well if we use the same 'keep it simple and sincere' principle.
Let me give you a good example...
I had the pleasure last week of presenting a two hour seminar on marketing to several hundred business owners and managers in Christchurch. We covered 19 simple strategies that most businesses could use to increase sales, boost profits and create delighted clients.
Two days after the seminar I got a lovely email from a business owner who had been using a number of these same marketing ideas in his own business for close to 18 months.
Here is what he told me...
October 16, 2012
"G'day Graham, excellent to hear your ideas in person on Monday night. I've been a subscriber to your email newsletter for some time now, since the 10th of May 2011 to be exact, when I downloaded a copy of your "Unfair Advantage" report.
I've used some of your ideas and I am convinced that the ones I've tried have worked, and have helped me build my business up to a point where I am the highest grossing Franchisee for the system that I belong to in New Zealand.
The ideas that I have used in particular are, developing a reputation as the "go to" person for my line of business. I have also used your "a little bit extra" idea. The beauty of the ideas in your reports and news letters are their minimal cost, and the "bang for buck" is just exponential.
I've passed on links to your website and the reports to other Franchisees, and the ones that have followed some of your advice report that their experience is similar to mine, so thank you for helping me with the success that I am now enjoying. Thanks again, and best regards."
Steve Hodgson
Port Appliance Test & Tag Ltd
Steve is a good example of what can happen when you do marketing that is simple and sincere and you do it consistently.
Let's look quickly at two points Steve mentioned in his email to me.
To get a reputation at the 'go to' person in your industry is easy to do.
Just share helpful tips in either written or spoken format that potential clients for your business would find useful. This automatically positions you as the 'go to' person in your field.
I covered some ideas on how to do this in my Herald column on 'Make yourself an Expert'.
The little bit extra strategy is a simple way to get people remembering and recommending you.
I explained some ideas on how to use the 'little bit extra' marketing principle in my Herald column on Lagniappe Marketing.
I like to things simple in marketing.
I notice that most marketing is usually trying to get one or more of three possible outcomes.
1: You want to generate good numbers of qualified, interested prospects to talk to.
We call this lead generation.
2: You want to convert some of these people into happy paying clients.
We call this sales conversion.
3: You want to create repeat and referral sales. And we do this by creating raving fans for our business who tell many of the people they know why they should use our business.
There are dozens of simple things that will help you to get these three marketing outcomes.
And the principle of 'keep it simple and sincere' will definitely be useful as well.
"If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself."
Albert Einstein

How could you use the KISS principle in your marketing to make it more effective?

We arrived at Pismo Beach, excited by the thought of staying clifftop and having the sea (and the hotel pool) to laze by under a warm sun
We enjoyed our last dinner of the roadtrip at the adjacent restaurant, watching the sun set over the Pacific which seemed a fitting way to end our nearly 3 months on the road.
The drive home from Pismo Beach was broken up only by lunch in Santa Barbara - a funny little sushi restaurant that filled us up before our return to an empty house that would have no onsite restaurant (and no fresh linen). We hit familiar traffic in LA, knew at what point we could take the pool lane, and as we crossed the San Diego county line we felt like we were home. We'd made it. All five of us; happy and wiser and bonded together in a way that could only be made possible by 82 days and nights of absolute togetherness.

There's a good chance Marin County will be pelted by a brief rainstorm Thursday morning.
The National Weather Service says there's a 70 percent chance of light rain between 8 a.m. and noon Thursday, with at least a tenth of an inch of rain falling.
"The storm's just going to whip through" Marin and the Bay Area, said forecaster Diana Henderson. "If you get a quarter of an inch, I'll be surprised."
There is a 40 percent chance of more light rainfall Friday morning. Once the rain clears, cool temperatures, with lows in the 30s, could return for the weekend.
"It's a cold system that's coming down," Henderson said.
Despite the recent dearth of rain in the county, Marin Municipal Water District's seven reservoirs are still 99 percent of capacity. Rainfall since July 1 is at 34.57 inches at measured by the water district. The average for this time of year is 31.18 inches.

Off to wassu in the dark but we decide its best to return to Georgetown and stay the night there as it wouldn't be a good idea to take the unknown north track in the dark. We turn around and while waiting for the ferry we observe a thunderstorm in the distance. We wonder whether it was a good idea to return to the lodge for fear of some more rain leaking in during the night. We get a different room at the lodge and thankfully it doesn't rain!

The proliferation of new caps in the New Zealand-South Africa Twenty20 series raises the issue of using international sport as a mere development tool.
No international sport should be used for development or as a mechanism to trot out lines about 'rebuilding'. Both sides seem to be pressing the development button this series, diluting the spectacle .
South Africa's eight-wicket win with 47 balls to spare in the opening T20 international, having dismissed a series of flailing New Zealand batsmen was exhibit A.
New Zealand has five players in their 15-man squad - Corey Anderson (22), Derek de Boorder (27), Mitchell McClenaghan (26), Colin Munro (25) and Jimmy Neesham (22) - who had not played international cricket before the tour. South Africa had four - Henry Davids, Quinton de Kock, Chris Morris and Aaron Phangiso.
Such promising players deserve to showcase their talents but normally those opportunities are reserved for Emerging Players, Invitational XI or Prime Minister's XI fixtures on tours - not matches with international caps.
The relative inexperience is highlighted by the lack of test caps in each T20 squad.
New Zealand has 161 - Brendon McCullum, James Franklin and Martin Guptill account for 128 (80 per cent). South Africa has 124 - Morne Morkel and Dale Steyn account for 105 (85 per cent).
The selections prove T20 and test skills are now largely treated as different subsets. Only six of New Zealand's 15 test players are also in the T20 squad - there are five South Africans across both. Perhaps a relevant comparison is the gulf in credibility and prestige between playing test rugby for the All Blacks or the recently re-named All Blacks Sevens. It seems there are now Black Caps and black caps.
Selectors know they can bring players into such teams at will while others wait at home. Kane Williamson, BJ Watling and Daniel Flynn are getting valuable first-class matches before the test series while Tim Southee and Jacob Oram awaited the birth of children. Southee is now out of the series with injury.
Nothing is perceived to be lost because it's 'just another T20 series'. One-dayers were similarly maligned for years.
The situation also raises the question of T20's relevance as an international format.
Perhaps it might adopt a predominantly club/franchise model, much like football and rugby, with specific windows for internationals.
Alternatively, international T20 cricket could become a specific genre which also plays a global series like sevens.

April 29, 1992, in Kiunga, Papua New GuineaCarlsson, a Swedish documentary filmmaker and freelance journalist, was found with his throat slit in the town of Kiunga, near the border with the disputed Indonesian province of Irian Jaya, also known as West Papua. He had traveled to the region to make a film about the guerrilla organization Free Papua Movement, which is fighting for Irian Jaya's independence from Indonesian rule.
"While the official version proclaimed that he had cut his throat with his own knife," wrote reporter Oswald Iten in the well-regarded Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung nearly two years after the incident, "it was widely believed to be a case of Indonesian-financed assassination."
