i have a to create form some thing like this and display results from database for the values in form
i have created and stored database with table name telephone_records consisting of selectcity,match,phone_no ,name, address.
how to create a form retrieves data from database and display phone-no,name,address in table by selecting values from above form
Hi Prajwal,
I first cleaned up your schema with some migrations
class CreateCities < ActiveRecord::Migration
def up
create_table :cities do |t|
t.string :name
create_table :phone_records do |t|
t.integer :city_id
t.string :phone_no
t.string :name
t.string :address
class MapCities < ActiveRecord::Migration
def up
TelephoneRecord.all.each do |tel|
phone_record = PhoneRecord.new({
:name => tel.name,
:phone_no => tel.phone_no,
:address => tel.address
phone_record.city = City.find_or_create_by_name(tel.selectcity)
drop_table :telephone_records
And added the relationships to the models. The filenames, table names and object names are all important with Rails.Tables must be plural e.g. phone_recordsEverything else about a model needs to be singular, city.rb and the model named City.
class City < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :phone_records
attr_accessible :name
class PhoneRecord < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :city
attr_accessible :name, :phone_no, :address
Search parameters GET and POST are combined in the params hash so you can access variables from forms.
class PhoneRecordsController < ApplicationController
def index
@phone_records = PhoneRecord.limit(100).all
def search
@phone_records = PhoneRecord.where(:city_id => params[:city_id]).limit(100)
if params[:search_by] == 'name'
@phone_records = @phone_records.where("name LIKE ?", "#{params[:search]}%")
elsif params[:search_by] == 'address'
@phone_records = @phone_records.where("address LIKE ?", "#{params[:search]}%")
elsif params[:search_by] == 'phone'
@phone_records = @phone_records.where("phone_no LIKE ?", "#{params[:search]}%")
render :action => :index
Use explicit paths in your routes
Telephonedirectory::Application.routes.draw do
resources :phone_records do
collection do
get 'search'
root :to => 'PhoneRecords#index', :as => 'listing'
<%= form_tag(search_phone_records_path, :method => "get") do %>
<%= label_tag(:city, "City:") %>
<%= select_tag(:city_id, options_from_collection_for_select(City.all, :id, :name)) %>
<label>Search By:</label>
<%= radio_button_tag(:search_by, "name") %>
<%= label_tag(:search_by_name, "Name") %>
<%= radio_button_tag(:search_by, "address") %>
<%= label_tag(:search_by_address, "Address") %>
<%= radio_button_tag(:search_by, "phone") %>
<%= label_tag(:search_by_phone, "PhoneNo") %>
<%= text_field_tag(:search, params[:search]) %>
<%= label_tag(:match, "Match:") %>
<%= select_tag(:match, options_for_select([['Starts with', 'starts_with']])) %>
<%= submit_tag("Search") %>
<% end %>
And the controller code
At the moment the "match" parameter isn't doing anything and all search are "starts_with" but if you wanted to implement other types you can give it a go.
Hope it helps,
thank a ton for this much
i have understood all the logic accept in migrations i am not getting it clearly the idea.
Migrations are simply scripts that performs changes to your database schema.Each file can have an up and down method to migrate the db schema backwards or forwards.
I create two new tables in your database cities and phone_records.I only create the new phone_records so that it had a proper id column and used the rails conventions.
The second migration is just moving the rows from your previous table to the new one.
phone_record.city = City.find_or_create_by_name(tel.selectcity)
The find_or_create_by helper creates the city if it doesn't exist or returns it.
To perform migrations you use rake db:migrate to move forward and rake db:rollback to move back a step.
i am trying to design the form as well as table displaying results using twitter bootstrap the problem is when i try to install twitter bootstrap rails gem it says libv8 buiding native extension then error message i am on windows xp sp2 and found that it is not suppoorted so which is the alternate method to do it using bootstrap itself i tried a gem bootstrap sass but when i try along it with formtastic-bootstrap i get an error once again could you let me know there r any other gem using twitter bootstrap and also deals with form_tag command please let me know.
You can always download bootstrap manually and add to the assets directory.
What's the error you are getting when installing formtastic-bootstrap ?
done mark installed it finally ssl connect error i was getting done but ican this form_tag can be used with twitter bootstrap everywhere i am seeing it form_for being used.
To apply the bootstrap styles you just need to make the HTML the same as what it expects.http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/base-css.html#forms
load error: bootstrap formastic you said to download it manually in assets folder how to link it with given form and table then i know which commands to get things done manually downloaded it how to link it to app.
table design done as it was with html now mark tell me should i change this form in html to use bootstrap form_tag i am unable to get it at the moment.
If you can't get the bootstrap formtastic gem don't worry about it.
All it does is generate HTML that bootstrap needs, all you need to do is render the same HTML and classes that the forms need.
i used bootstrap manually extracted it to assets in app then into js and stylesheets finally was able to get a table design but at the moment i am trying to apply to form_tag but i am not getting where actually classes in form_tag must be defined should i rebuild the entire form into html once again or is it possible to use bootstrap for it directly i searched for solution but everything is with form_for and bootstrap i never found bootstrap dealing with such form_tag command is there a way to el with form_tag and bootstrap
got it done ...............
even tough this looks simple problem i want to display the results after submitting search button in same page and for also various other search results here record are displayed first itself and then for then table is changed according to search results presently trying a solution for it any idea mark should i change some in controller or view bit of a trouble.

how do you find the search url of a website. The best way i found is to search for something, and then see what the url shows, and then grab it fro mthere. Sometimes though the url does not do this, and you search and the url stays the same. However i luckily came across the url somehow which the search in it, it was in a different directory changing the url completely. If i didnt come across it, i would of never of found it. Is there a better method to quickly finding the search url of a website?
an example of what i am talking about is this site:
http://www.webmd.com/diet/healthtool-fo ... ie-counter
when you search this site, the url stays the same, somehow i came across the fact that to search with a url, the path is:
http://www.webmd.com/diet/healthtool-fo ... ARCHSTRING
Sometimes i just randomly check ?s=, ?search=, ?q=, ?query=, but it is a complete guess though. IT would be nice to have a rock solid method of finding this path or in this case the search value

Anyone using a Brinkmann Vert. Smoker?
Mon Jul 24, 2006 7:11 pm
I was wondering because I have one and just put it together last Friday. I was going to cure it and then I see in the instructions that you really should put something under it to catch embers and drippings.
When I put it together I was wondering if I should since the bottom is open. Anyone have any suggestions on what to put under it and where to get something like that. I figured I would go to Lowes or HD and they could point me in the right direction, but I wanted to see if anyone here has a solution. Thanks guys.

7.2.1 Modifying charcoal-burning bullet water-type smokers
The smoker modification Section was edited by Tom Kelly from a summary of posts by Mike Roberts, Pat Lehnherr, Harry Jiles and The Bear--
The Brinkmann water smoker is an inexpensive tool which can make some excellent barbecue. It is sometimes referred to as an ECB on this mail List (El Cheapo Brinkmann). Don't let this moniker fool you however. The ECB makes some mighty fine barbecue right out of the box. However, there are several modifications which can improve its performance, ease its use and therefore enhance your enjoyment.
Modification 1 - Improve accessibility to the firepan.
WHY? - The small door on the side of the Brinkmann does not allow for easy access to the firepan. Adding wood, lump charcoal or briquettes is a hit or miss prospect. Try throwing in a few preburned Kingsford briquettes and you'll see what we mean. This modification makes fire maintenance a snap.
HOW? - Remove the legs from the unit and install them on the outside. Obtain a length of ungalvanized threaded rod and six matching nuts. Alternately, obtain 3 bolts of sufficient length and 6 matching nuts. Drill through the lip of the firepan at three locations approximately 120 degrees apart. Center the hole between the inside and outside diameter of the lip making sure that the nuts can be installed without interfering with the pan. Measure from the ground up to the ledge on the legs that the firepan used to sit on. Cut three pieces of threaded rod about 1 inch longer than this measurement or use your 3 bolts in an inverted position. Now all you do is thread on a nut above and below the lip of the pan to secure it in place at the same height it used to sit. Set the Brinkmann smoker over the pan and you are ready to smoke.
Starting a fire and maintaining it is now much easier. When you have to add fuel or 'shake up' the fire or remove ash, all you have to do is CAREFULLY lift the unit straight up about 6 inches and set it aside. You have to be particularly careful if you have water in your water pan. Tend to the fire and then replace the main unit. The top is never removed and the door is not opened so less heat is lost.
Modification 2 - Improve firepan airflow
WHY? - The Brinkmann firepan has no air holes to improve combustion of the fuel. It apparently used to but rumor has it that someone used the smoker on a deck and some hot embers dropped out and set the deck on fire. Ergo, no more holes. But, no holes means poor combustion and incomplete burning. This modification lets more air get to the fire.
HOW? - Take the firepan and drill about five 3/8-inch holes in the bottom of the pan. This will give you about 1/2 square inches of airflow area. This increased airflow allows for better combustion.
Another advantage of this modification (assuming you have made modification number 1) is that you can lift off the main unit and using fire gloves or a couple pairs of pliers, pick up the firepan and shake it. This gets rid of much of the ash and keeps the holes free for air supply.
CAUTION - DO NOT USE THIS MODIFIED UNIT ON ANY COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE (Such as a wood deck). If you plan on using this on a deck, make sure that the unit is placed in a sand-filled tray or similar fire resistant arrangement.
Modification 3 - Improve accessibility to the water pan
WHY? - The small door on the side of the Brinkmann does not lend itself to easily refilling the water pan. Adding water is a hit or miss prospect and can end up with water spilling into the firepan.
HOW? - Technically this is not a mod but more of a tip. Run down to your local K-Mart or auto parts store and purchase a plastic funnel with a long flexible filling end. Then, adding water is a snap. Open the door, hold the funnel end over the pan and fill with water safely from the other end.
Modification 4 - Improve temperature indication
WHY? - The temperature gauge that comes as standard equipment with the Brinkmann leaves a bit to be desired. The 'LOW, IDEAL, HIGH' indication doesn't really tell you what's going on temperature wise. You'll be hard pressed to maintain 220F using the stock gauge.
HOW? - Obtain a good quality candy or meat thermometer (temperature range about 150-350F) that has a shaft at least 4 inches long. Obtain two matching corks, each about 4 times the diameter of the thermometer shaft. Drill a hole through the center of one of the corks (top to bottom) just slightly smaller than the shaft diameter. Now drill two holes, one in the side of the dome and one in the side of the body. The hole should be sized so you can push the cork in about half its height. The holes should put the shaft within an inch of the upper surface of each grill. Now you can monitor the temperature at the grills more accurately. Plug the unused hole with the undrilled cork.
NOTE - Don't try to use the existing hole where the stock 'thermometer' is installed. For one thing, it's too large to easily get a good fitting cork. For another, it's several inches above the upper grill and that location will read somewhat hotter than the grill level itself.
A more expensive but easier fix is to obtain a Sunbeam or Polder electronic remote reading thermometer. They can be purchased for around $25 to $30 at kitchen shops or stores such as Service Merchandise. Push the probe through a small piece of wood or a cork so that it is not in direct contact with the metal grill, replace the lid and you can read the temperature at the remote display. Very accurate.
Here is some more info from the same site
I purchased a Brinkmann charcoal water smoker last year. I'm having some problems with temperature control. The temperature drops as the hours go by even though I have the same size fire. Any ideas on this?]
Scott Mark--
When you light a big pot of charcoal, with the smoker top portion off, there's plenty of oxygen available. All the coals get burning; all the coals get hot; all the coals give off a lot of heat. [Editor--the same applies when you start a fire in a bullet water smoker where the fire pan section cannot be removed from the smoker section.]
When the smoker top gets put in place (or the fire door closed), the air flow gets cut back quite a bit. The coals slow their burning rate, and they don't generate as much heat. The overall amount of heat being transferred into the smoke chamber is less. As the charcoal burns, ash accumulates, further reducing airflow. The only solution I've found that works well is to lift the entire smoker off of the firepit (my smoker is actually three parts: fire pit, cylinder, and dome top) and then use a shovel to dump the burning charcoal on top of a grate (getting rid of ash, which is also removed from the firepit) and then reloading the firepit with the burning charcoal and more that is already burning. Because of the lack of airflow, adding non-burning charcoal to the pit doesn't do much good.

I bought a couple of metal automotive drip pans from Pep Boys to catch drippings under my smokers. Store that sell grills normally sell fire resistant mats to place under them to help prevent accidental secondary fires but I don't know how easy they'd be to keep clean of drippings.

Right. A vertical or bullet smoker works. Thanks for the info. It seems like more work to use this thing that I am prepared for. It would be easier to go buy a CG than it would be to do all those mods. I also wouldn't have to really worry about burning my deck and house down. We will see.

HOUSTON - A woman's body was found in southeast Houston on Monday, police say.
The woman was spotted by a passerby in the brush at the back of the ER and Ann Taylor Park, investigators said. Officers with the Houston Police Department were called out to Reed Road and FM 521 around 4:40 p.m.
Investigators said the victim was naked.
Authorities said they believed she was around 30-years-old.
Police said they don't have many clues in the case.
"We don't have any witnesses that have claimed to have seen anything here. If we did, it would have happened probably a day or two ago. It's possible that it maybe happened somewhere else and maybe she was just dropped here," said homicide detective Robert Torrest.
The cause of death is not yet known.
Police have not said how the body ended up where it was found.

Destination Dish August Recipe: Braised Brisket with Bourbon-Peach Glaze
There's just something about biting into a sweet, juicy peach that makes you feel like you're biting into a plump piece of summer. Though the warm summer months are on their way out, it wouldn't feel right to say farewell to summer without a nod to peaches as August's Destination Dish.
This braised brisket recipe brings that unforgettable peachy flavor to the barbeque in a sweet, smoky sayonara to our favorite season. It's a great Labor Day main course that can be made in the oven or on the grill, though it does require a little prep work the night before.
If you'd rather let someone else do the legwork, you can try our braised brisket with bourbon-peach glaze (which we've nicknamed "The Little Rascal") at Paradise Point's new Bayside Lounge alongside cool cocktails, cozy fire pits, and stunning coastal views.
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 4-pound trimmed flat-cut brisket with about 1/3" top layer of fat
- 2 tablespoons grape seed oil, divided
- 3/4 cup chopped onion
- 3 garlic cloves, smashed
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 12-ounce bottle stout
- 3/4 cup bourbon
- 1/4 cup (packed) light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 6 large sprigs thyme
- 3 celery stalks, chopped
- 2 plum tomatoes, cored, chopped
- 1 large carrot, chopped
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup peach jam or preserves
- 1/2 cup fresh chopped peaches
- 2 teaspoons bourbon
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Mix all ingredients in a small bowl. Rub brisket all over with spice rub. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before continuing. Preheat oven to 325°. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large wide pot over high heat. Add brisket, fat side down and cook undisturbed until well browned, 5–6 minutes. Turn brisket over and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Using tongs, transfer to a plate. Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is slightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add broth and all remaining ingredients. Bring liquid to a simmer. Return brisket to pot. Cover and transfer to oven.
Braise until brisket is very tender to the touch but still holds its shape, about 4 1/2 hours. Using a large spatula, transfer brisket fat side up, to a large plate. Strain braising liquid into a large bowl. Return liquid to pot, bring to a simmer, and cook until reduced to 2 cups, about 15 minutes.

Cortlandt Manor – Santa's Helpers at Hudson Valley Hospital Center will spend the afternoon on Dec. 19 wrapping mountains of presents to make wishes come true for local children and their families.
In an annual tradition, at 1 p.m. in the Wagner Conference Room staff will begin wrapping gifts that will be donated to local social services agencies and delivered to families in need. Pajamas and books, dolls, trucks, boots, socks and tons of toys will be packaged in a few short hours. Santa is expected to stop by to supervise the Hospital elves at work.
But before the wrapping can begin, employees are doing some last minute fundraising and shopping, hoping to increase the numbers of gifts that can be donated.
"With Hurricane Sandy, this year has been a very difficult one for many people, making fundraising a bit more of a challenge,'' John Federspiel, president of Hudson Valley Hospital Center, who started the tradition 17 years ago, said in a press release. "Luckily, we have so many generous people at the Hospital and in the community who have given even larger amounts to help make up the difference. We hope to continue collecting donations and gifts until the very last minute.''
This year, the hospital plans to spend $125 per child on about 100 children. The Westchester County Department of Social Services provides the Hospital with wish lists from families.
To raise money, the hospital staff sold raffles and employees paid $10 each for the privilege of wearing jeans to work on two Fridays. Employees this year are also doing a special fundraiser. On sale during the month of December in the Hospital Gift Shop will be "The Giving Keys" necklaces. "The Giving Keys" is an organization which employs those transitioning out of homelessness to engrave recycled keys that get sold and shared around the world. Each key necklace is unique and carries a message like hope, strength, dream or courage. When the wearer of the key encounters someone else who needs the message on the key, they give it away and then are encouraged to tell their stories on the group's website. The keys were purchased by the hospital and the New York Plastic Surgery Group and are being sold at the gift shop and to employees at the hospital. Those interested in finding out more about "The Giving Keys" can call 914-734-3794 or visit www.thegivingkeys.com.
Sue Lepore, facilitator of the program in the administration office at HVHC, has the job of sorting through letters containing the wish lists of needy children and their families. She then assigns gift shopping to Hospital employees who spend an entire afternoon wrapping the gifts at a festive wrapping party. Many times families and social service workers stop by during the afternoon to pick up the gifts.
"We hope that people in the community will help us to support this very worthy project,'' she said. "These children ask for so little. We try to make this a great holiday by giving them more than they request.''
Hudson Valley Hospital Center is at 1980 Crompond Road (Route 202).

Topic: I'm still hurting
Tomorrow will be 7 weeks that my mother passed away. I'm still raw and not interested in going to a grief class because it's at nights, I don't drive and I don't feel like being given an assignment to do for 10 weeks.
I feel close to my mother when I'm on the computer because I have 3 enlarged framed photos of Mama hanging on the wall in front of me. I talk to her and cry almost every monring. I miss hearing her voice every morning on the phone, talking about politics and of course seeing her every 2 years as she lived alone in France.
I wish I had known that she was dying when I say her 5 days before, as I would have asked her many questions.
I feel abandoned and alone. I'm not asking for pity, I'm just saying it as it is. Don't want to hear about grief support groups either. I know that I'm slowly healing but I'm having issues sleeping at nights as I keep reviewing the last days with her and the terrible condition she was in and how awful she looked. Her looks and appearance was always important to her even at the age of 83 1.2. The only thing I'm greateful for is that I was able to see Mama (after 2 years) before she passed, her noturing me (which I will never have again) & burying her. My family has been a nightmare to me as they're not on the Will and trying to make my life miserable...I'm the only child!
I want to remember how my Mama looked before she got sick (which took her life way in 8 weeks), our conversations and out times together. I receorded a few phone calls when she was sick, but I'm not ready to listen to them yet.
Will I ever remember the good times Mama and I had together?

The Carson, a recent addition to the National Wild and Scenic river system, is a unique fast paced, high elevation river (5500') with beautiful views of the snow capped eastern Sierras in the Toiyabe National Forest. The twenty-one mile wilderness trip can be enjoyed on a one or two day trip, but camping out under the giant Ponderosa pines, breathing clean mountain air and relaxing in a soothing hot spring makes an ideal wilderness camp-out, especially for first timers, families and laid back rafters.
The lower half of the run transitions into high Nevada desert with giant cottonwoods, gaggles of geese and goslings, and flocks of swallows nesting in their mud homes constructed on the underside of volcanic rock formations.

About W.E.T. River Trips
In 1978, a couple of school teachers in the Sacramento, California area had an idea for creating a rafting program for at-risk high school students. Steve & Rich created W.E.T. for the sole purpose of offering whitewater rafting trips for students in their school district. The first few trips proved so successful that the two partners opened their doors to the general, local population. From that day, W.E.T. River Trips was born. Diverse populations and ages from all parts of the world now join W.E.T. for one day rafting trips to multiple days on the river.
Visit our website for more information on California whitewater rafting trips. Main offerings for river rafting packages include American River Rafting, Klamath River Rafting, California Rafting Trips and our new features on Teen Rafting. Our site has descriptions of the different rivers that we currently run, information on the local river areas, lodging, rafting and vacation packages, family rafting trips, group rafting trips, discounts, teen rafting trips, funny rafting stories, rafting photos, rafting contest, and links to whitewater rafting sites.
In California, all your river rafting needs will be met on the RAFTWET.com site. Choose the rafting trip that will suit your friends, family, company outing or your rafting event. Call W.E.T. River Trips toll free at 1.888.723.8938 for more information on our whitewater river rafting trips.
American River Rafting Trips
Our most popular runs on the American River Rafting trips occur from mid-March through September. These three forks of the American River include the most popular river in the West, the South Fork American; the infamous Middle Fork American Tunnel Chute run; and the advanced springtime runs on the Class 4 North Fork American. From novice to advanced river rafting, the American River system satisfys all whitewater rafting needs!
Cal Salmon Rafting Trips
The California Salmon River is our extreme best. Pulsing with the spring snow melt, the river is clean, clear, swift and powerful. The steep canyon is overhung with verdant foliage and punctuated by small waterfalls and sidestreams in counterpoint to rapids llike Freight Train, Cascade, the Maze, the Fin and Achilles Heels. The Salmon is now a member of the Wild and Scenic River System and freely flows from the Salmon-Trinity Primitive Area into the Klamath River. We sometimes finish a trip by floating into the Klamath and running the Class IV "Ikes" section above Orleans.
Klamath River Rafting Trips
The Klamath River offers a unique wilderness opportunity to float the longest undammed river in California. The river is interspersed with Class II - III rapids combined with outstanding side-hikes & fishing all under the Pacific flyway: home to every migratory bird in North America. Also, you may encounter elk, deer, bear and river otters. From two days to six days, this multiple day rafting package is most popular with the Boy Scouts of America and their whitewater and 50-miler merit badge programs. We also offer sit-on-top kayaks, inflatable kayaks along with our regular paddle boats and oar boats.
California Rafting TripsCalifornia Rafting Trips
California's diverse rivers include a myriad of rafting opportunities. From Class I to Class V, river rafters from all over the United States and the world head to California for different river experiences. W.E.T. River Trips offers the most popular rivers in the Western United States. Our listings also include our partnerships with other rafting companies throughout Southern, Northern California and other rivers throughout the western United States.
Group Rafting Trips W.E.T. River Trips suggests that most groups stay with the South Fork American or the Middle Fork American. Both runs are available to larger groups and corporate outings. These two river rafting trips offer introductory to intermediate rapids. Both rivers can be combined for multiple day packages. Corporate groups should contact our office directly for customized programs. Group offerings include corporate trips, bachelor parties, family reunions, company picnics, teen programs, bachelor parties and other types of events.
Teen Rafting Trips
W.E.T. rafting trips have so many return guests that we are now taking their children, teens and even grandchildren down the river with us! Our new teen programs allow parents to combine their vacations near the rivers with a rafting trip just for their teens. Many teens come on their birthdays along with their teen friends. The South Fork American is an ideal river for this package. Liz, our teen rafting consultant, writes stories and offers sage teen advice for teen rafters. Rafting Teens from ages 12 - 17 years old end our trips with a sense of accomplishment unmatched by other teen activities.
Family Rafting Trips
W.E.T. rafting trips have always included families. This is where the rafting education begins! Private beaches for the wilderness enthusiast offers camping for the family unmatched by any other bonding experience. We recommend the two day wilderness trips on the South Fork or Middle Fork American. Minimum ages for the family rafting trips are 8 years old in the paddle boats during regular flows or 6 years old in the oarboats. During Spring's high flows, the minimum age may be 12 years old.
Spring Whitewater Rafting Trips
During Spring's high water, our more advanced river rafting runs are geared for the experienced, aggressive rafter. A Northern California favorite is the North Fork American Chamberlain Falls run. This exciting, beautiful river is just outside of Sacramento in the foothills near Auburn. Class IV - IV+ rapids challenge the most experience rafter. Also, in the far upper reaches of California, lies a crystal clear California Salmon River. Class V rapids are interspersed with supreme scenery, excellent water quality and very difficult rapids. Watch out for Freight Train, a mile long Class V rapid! Most spring trips occur from mid-March through mid-June.

The graphic nature of the attack at the Boston Marathon can be difficult for many to process, and that includes young people.
Whether or not they were physically there at the bombing, children can be profoundly affected by what they hear and see. It can be normal to notice some anxiety and fear after an event like the marathon bombing, Dr. Alan Hilfer, director of psychology at Maimonides Medical Center in New York, explained to CBSNews.com.The most important thing is that someone will be there for them -- because they'll be turning to the adults in their life and their peer for answers and support.
"Talk to kids in an honest, yet reassuring manner," Hilfer suggested. "Kids take cues from their parents. If they're parents are agitated or upset, it will make it harder for kids to understand what's going on.
"Let the kids know it's an isolated event, and it doesn't happen all over the place. It happened in one place, and parents and schools will do everything else to keep the kids safe. He added, "Of course, it's much harder to say those things these days."
Symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are uncommon during the time right after a traumatic event. Instead, adrenalin activation is common, said Dr. Paul Summergrad, Tufts Medical Center chair of psychiatry, at a press conference. People can have a huge stress reaction, numbing and disorientation. As days and months pass, new psychological aspects to deal with occur.
"A week later, people tend to disappear, and you have to go into a process over time," Summergrad explained.
It could take 30 days or more for PTSD symptoms to appear, Summergrad pointed out. PTSD symptoms include flashbacks, bad dreams, frightening thoughts, staying away from places, events or objects that remind them of the experience, feeling numb or guilty, loss of interest in activities, lack of memory about the event, being easily startled, feeling tense and having difficulty sleeping. For children, difficulty doing schoolwork, listlessness, depression and phobias (for example of entering crowded places) should be warning signs as well, Hilfer said.
"It doesn't always happen right away, but some of the symptoms can emerge and are often not noticed," Hilfer stated. "Everyone expects a little anxiety, but PTSD tends to be the lingering stuff -- people who have terrible reactions when a car backfires or in crowds."
Children who might have experienced a traumatic event in the past -- should especially be watched after events like Monday's tragedy because they may go through retraumatization right away -- even if they weren't physically at marathon. A study in November 2012 in Psychological Science showed that children who had lived in areas hard hit by Hurricane Katrina who had PTSD symptoms were more likely to experience PTSD again the more Hurricane Gustav coverage they watched.
"I certainly saw it in 9/11 when people heard airplanes or when they became anxious because the airplane was flying low," Hifler said. "It's not the fact that people become anxious a little bit about it. It's when anxiety begins to interfere with their daily functions, when they're not interacting in the community or at school."

- Doctors describe horrors, chaos after Boston Marathon bombings
Hilfer said that parents should reach out to medical professionals if they start noticing their children having any prolonged symptoms. Psychologists and psychiatrists are trained to help kids talk about their feelings, help them develop coping strategies and work with their families to come up with ways to help manage anxieties. In severe cases, kids may need medication.
One thing that almost always helps, however, is returning to daily life.
"I advise as quickly as possible to resume normal routines and not to take too much time off from school. Get kids back to school. That helps everyone move to get some of the difficulties and anxieties," he said.

Somehow, the Smithsonian Channel has beaten Syfy at its own monster fighting game. They've pit the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex against the gigantic snake Titanoboa in a prehistoric grudge match, animated the possible outcomes for each carnivorous side.
What I love is that the Smithsonian acknowledges that this is a crazy hypothetical battle. T-Rex and Titanoboa didn't live on the same continent or even during the same time period. But that doesn't stop them from imagining how this snake-on-dino battle would go down. So where's my T-Rex vs. Titanoboa original movie, Syfy?

The European Commission adopted a progress report on renewable energy (in the electricity and transport sectors), highlighting the patchy progress made and the EU's likely failure to reach the 2010 indicative targets. The report explores the reason for this and explains that the new Directive on renewable energy, agreed as part of the energy and climate package and due to enter into force in May, addresses all the concerns highlighted in the report and provides a solid basis for removing barriers and increasing the growth of renewable energy for the next ten years.

Problems in the Greek energy policy
Discussions about the Greek energy market at the "Economist Congress" on the 23rd of March 2009.
It can't be that the dark Germany (regarding to the sun-potential) produces 14.500 MW with renewable energies and Greece only 900 MW, explained the representative of the Panhellenic Socialistic Movement (PASOK) and the former minister Michalis Chrisochoidis.
The vice-president of the Greek Energy Regulation Authority emphasized the need of 4 additional energy production units until 2011. The goal is to achieve a total power of 1.600 MW from renewable energies during 2009 and additional 700 MW in the years 2010 and 2011 up to a total power of 10.000 MW until 2020.

Death666Angel - Monday, January 28, 2013 - linkYou don't say.
The problem is, that even the official press release for mSATA from SATA IO only states up to 3.0 speeds and I could not find anything official that says otherwise, except from mSATA manufacturers.
I guess they are just being lazy then and 6.0 is supported without issue. :) Reply

ADATA hasn't released 5.0.4+ yet. We're still stuck on 5.0.2a months after the new firmware was released. I'll pay Intel for their great support and quicker-than-molasses firmware validation. So, yes, I'll see a difference once I have working TRIM. Reply
JeBarr - Monday, January 28, 2013 - linkThe more mSATA, the merrier. Not many choices out there for consumer mSATA so having another version from Intel will be good for everyone. Especially since they are covering all sizes except for the extra large 480/512GB.

hrrmph - Wednesday, January 30, 2013 - linkTOOLBOX
Good to see you guys (Anand and Kristian) covering the toolbox software in more detail lately. Thanks!
I recently tried the Samsung Magician toolbox software with WinXP and found it to be buggy and irritating to work with (doesn't recognize 840 Pro, insists on running at Windows startup, etc.). I've got a new Win7 machine, so I'll give it a try with that machine.
The screenshots of the Intel software appear to show that their toolbox has some polish to it. I look forward to trying it.
I'm currently running SSDs for system drives (OS + progs + a small amount of mostly compressible data) on all of my machines. The SSDs are OWC, Intel, and Samsung.
It looks like larger and larger SSDs for bulk data are on the cusp of being affordable. So I am itching to buy some bigger capacity SSDs to dedicate to bulk storage.
So I also particularly appreciate the reminder that Sandforce drives perform very poorly when they get filled up with compressed data like movies and music.
Good to see Intel giving a proper 5 year warranty.
Unfortunately, it looks like the high capacity drives from some of the competition are stuck with paltry 3-year warranties.
So it looks like good toolbox software, a decent warranty, and high capacity (~960GB), in a high performance SSD aren't quite here yet.
But, for system drives in mSATA slots, these Intel 525 SSDs look to be unbeatable.
Thanks for great SSD articles! I look forward to reading the updates on spare area.

Allen Suspended from Football Program
Liberty Head Football Coach Turner Gill announced Tuesday that running back Aldreakis Allen has been suspended from the football program for a violation of team policy.

Titanic was the greatest shipwreck drama of the 20th century, a catastrophic event that has already passed into myth and legend. But what is the truth behind the myth?
The British registered ocean liner was built in 1912 for the transatlantic passenger and mail service between Southampton and New York. Constructed at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland the Titanic was, on her maiden voyage, the largest vessel afloat.
On 10 April 1912 the new liner sailed from Southampton, England with 2,208 passengers and crew, but four days later she collided with an iceberg and sank: 1496 people died and 712 survived. This website tells their story and that of the great ship with which their lives would be inextricably linked.Encyclopedia Titanica contains a biography for every person that travelled on the maiden voyage as well as information about the places people came from and the ships her crew served on.

HOUSTON - As people take in the sights and sounds of Rodeo Houston, parents are being warned to take specific precautions when their children are around farm animals.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, petting zoo attractions can carry dangerous germs such as salmonella and E. coli.
Last fall, a toddler died after complications from an e coli infection picked up during a visit to a county fair in North Carolina, officials said. In total, 46 people were sickened and 10 were hospitalized. A majority of those who fell ill were children.
Pediatrician Dr. Debra Cutler with Kelsey-Seybold Clinic said safety starts with warm water and soap.
"Hand washing, hand washing, hand washing. I don't think there's anything better you can do," said Cutler.
The outbreak in North Carolina was the third in that state in the last decade despite stricter regulations to include more hand washing stations.
Cutler warned that using antibacterial gels isn't enough to prevent infection.
"It can suppress (the bacteria), but it doesn't kill. So you may still have it around, and a lot of kids put their fingers in their mouths," she said.
Cutler advises families to practice the same diligence they would with household pets like turtles, lizards and rabbits.
"I always let my kids go (to animal exhibits). I think it's fun for the kids. And I hate to say this, but I'm an animal lover and I think it's good for them not to feel afraid of animals. And these are very friendly animals," said Cutler.
The CDC also recommends parents always supervise children under five in petting zoos and animal exhibits. Parents are advised to never let their children put their hands, bottles or pacifiers in their mouths while handling animals.19092398

Firstly I don't have a child named after a colour and secondly I'm the opposite of his most popular song - I don't quite have 99 problems but girl dramas are one.
You see my best friends are fighting over a Barbie doll.
No, my mates aren't toddlers and yes I know how ridiculous this sounds, 30-year-old women bickering about a toy.
Gayle and Oprah wouldn't stoop to this level and I'm sure Thelma and Louise would have stopped the car and asked them both to get out.
Fashionista Barbie and a baby shower have been the catalysts for the girl fighting in my group and the weird thing is these are not symbolic of any subconscious drama that has been bubbling away.
We pride ourselves on being honest and open with each other, even if that does mean you cop the occasional "yes, your arse does look fat in those jeans" comment.
New jobs, moving houses and the arrival of a baby have applied some extra pressure to the posse so I should've seen the tears and the tantrums coming.
The 53-year old blonde doll was given as a gift by Friend A.
A gift which was then returned to Friend A from Friend B as she packed up her life (she's one of those Perth people that said "I'm so moving to Melbourne" and is now actually doing it) and relocated on the other seaboard.
Needless to say this scenario had the potential to go as pear shaped as this scene from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, yet thankfully real life doesn't involve camera crews and producers.
Stress, work, relationships and family life are hats that many ladies wear on a daily basis and according to a study conducted by Baileys (yes Kath Day-Knight's favourite tipple) late last year the average Aussie lass is only dedicating 5 per cent of her weekly schedule to her friendships.
The survey spoke to 671 women around the country and discovered that, on average, women only have 8 per cent of their week available to do things they actually enjoy – like lattes with the ladies or Skyping with their sisters and/or "sistas".
"Nurturing and sustaining friendships demands thought, time and effort. Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that our friendships are often pushed to the side," social commentator Rebecca Huntley told me.
And she should know as she's juggling a career in academia and the media, raising a young daughter and sustaining a marriage.
"A clean and tidy house might give you a temporary sense of satisfaction and control but no one thinks about celebrating their birthday with a night of dusting and ironing," she added as I confessed to continually ditching housework for a bottle of Houghton's finest with my besties.
My new year's resolution was to dedicate more time to my female friendships and I hope I'm doing better, so to see people close to me bickering is a little heartbreaking.
"We live to the expectations of our peer group," The Change Agent life coach Gillian Skeer said.
"Who we surround ourselves with has an effect on our happiness and our success."
She added that friendship tiffs were common across all ages.
"The golden rule when you want to resolve it is to get back into rapport with the other person. This might mean making the first move. Rapport is about finding that synergy in the friendship, getting back in tune with each other like tonality of your voices and matching and mirroring behaviours and gestures, like the way it used to be. Get face to face!"
So while I help my friends find their pants so our version of The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants can continue, how do you handle your female friendships? How much time do you dedicate to your friends every week?

I've written a basic Pygame implementation of Space Invaders (full code on Github) and one thing has been niggling me for ages. The waves of aliens that move down the screen properly.
In the original game, if you killed a full column of aliens on either side of the screen, the remaining aliens would continue to move to the edge of the screen before descending further - I can't work out how to recreate this behaviour in my game. My aliens simply move a set number of times horizontally before dropping down vertically (and repeating).
I know the issue is centred around the making of the alien wave (line 268) and the update method in the Alien class starting on line 38. Any help overcoming this issue would be greatly appreciated. I'm guessing I need to create a 2D array when making an alien wave and re-writing the update method for them, but I have no idea how to get started.
Thanks in advance if you can get me on the right track!

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
News flash: prospects hate taking cold calls as much as sales reps hate making them. There's got to be a better way to generate sales leads. Tom Searcy (huntingbigsales.com) says opt for these alternatives:
Community and association involvement – Everyone likes to do business with people they know, like and trust. Get involved and "circulate and percolate."
How-to articles in client-oriented press – Better than any brochure is the how-to article that appears in a publication that your target client reads. Make sure the blurb at the end of the article lets prospects know how to find you.
How-to speeches at prospect industry meetings – More effective even than how-to articles. People want to hire experts, and an expert by definition is someone who is invited to speak.
Free or low-cost small-scale seminars – The best proactive tactic you can employ as long as they're not 90-minute commercials. You need to present valuable information about how to solve the problems your prospects are facing. The more you help prospects, the better it works.

5 Ingredients: Berry Trifle with Amarettoby Dana Angelo White in 5-Ingredient Recipes, June 28, 2010
This week on Healthy Eats, we're celebrating summer berries — strawberries, blueberries and raspberries are all at their juicy, delicious peak! This fresh, light trifle is a showstopper at parties and picnics, and our version has a reasonable amount of fat and calories. It's as simple as 5 ingredients — read on to see how it's made.
Berry Trifle with Amaretto
Serves: 8
1/2 cup heavy cream (yields 1 cup whipped cream)
2 cups low-fat vanilla pudding
2 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur
8-ounces store-bought angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 cups berries
Equipment: large glass serving bowl or trifle dish
Heavy Cream (Whipped Cream)
Layers upon layers of whipped cream will pile on the calories and fat. Since one tablespoon of whipped cream has about 25 calories and 2.5 grams of fat, you need to use it sparingly. The trick is to top the trifle with one layer, so every bite has a hint of that creamy goodness. We keep the cream unsweetened to save a few extra calories – you don't need any additional sweetness with the rest of the ingredients.
Angel Food Cake
Another way to keep the calories under control is to use fluffy angel food cake. You can certainly make your own, but take some help from the store here and buy one. This cake is made with egg whites, so it's light, airy and fat free.
Vanilla Pudding
To replace some of the high-fat whipped cream, we used low fat pudding (made with one-percent milk). We recommend making your own (it's easier than you think) but you can certainly use pre-made or instant – just choose a brand without artificial sweeteners.
Amaretto Liqueur
To liven up the vanilla pudding, add a splash of almond liqueur. The almond flavor goes so well with the sweet-tart berries. If you don't want to use alcohol, substitute with a teaspoon of pure almond or vanilla extract.
The stars of this trifle are the fresh berries. We used strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, but you can substitute whatever you've got on hand.
Whip cream using a whisk or mixer until stiff peaks form– set aside. Add Amaretto to pudding and mix well to combine. Place half of the angel food cake in the bottom of a trifle dish in one even layer. Top with half of the pudding, followed by half of the berries. Repeat with remaining cake, pudding and berries. Top with a thin layer of whipped cream. Cover and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes before serving.

A man who stabbed his wife to death in a frenzied attack just days after he was released by police without charge for assaulting her has been jailed for life.
Bulent Sessacar stabbed Rebecca Sessacar 58 times with two kitchen knives in an attack so brutal one of the knife handles broke.
Mrs Sessacar, a trainee teaching assistant who also worked at Asda in Beddington, was killed by Sessacar at their home in Duppas Hill Terrace, Croydon, on December 20, 2012.
The attack came two days after police had arrested Sessacar over a domestic incident where he held Mrs Sessacar's head back as he tried to see if she had taken cocaine.
It also emerged today at court police had visited the address 45 minutes before Mrs Sessacar was found stabbed to death after neighbours reported hearing screams.
But the police did not go inside and only found her body when they returned 45 minutes later.
Mr Sessacar was jailed for life to serve a minimum of 10 and eight months years today after admitting manslaughter due to dimished responsibility.
The Old Bailey was told today that the attack occurred after Mr Sessacar, who was also in another relationship at the time, had become obsessed with his wife taking cocaine.
He had been arrested on December 18 for a domestic incident where he held Mrs Sessacar's head back as he tried to see if she had taken cocaine.
He was released the next day after his wife refused to press charges. There were no bail conditions.
Mr Sessacar, who was a drug abuser and suffers from a mixed personality disorder, later texted a friend saying he was unhappy.
On December 20, a neighbour of Mr Sessacar heard a scream coming from Rebecca Sessacar.
He said it was not a normal scream and he then heard the sound of a body being dragged across the floor.
The neighbour called the police at 2.57pm but when they arrived the flat was silent and in darkness. The curtain had been drawn so they went back to the police station.
Officers returned a second time at 3.45pm and after drawing the curtain that was blocking the view from the letterbox, they could see a trail of blood.
They entered the room and found a blood stained body on the floor with the head covered in a cushion. There was blood splatters around the flat and there signs it had been a violent struggle.
A post mortem examination found she had been stabbed 58 times in the frenzied attack. There were also signs of other injuries which were from a previous attack.
The stab wounds were mainly on her head, neck and upper back.
There were two kitchen knives next to the body, one of which had been broken away from the handle.
Mr Sessacar was also found in the flat. He had stab wounds to his thigh and also had vomit round his neck.
He then had a seizure and was taken to hospital. After further examination it was found he had overdosed on drugs.
Judge Nicholas Cooke, said "The circumstances of this offence were extremely grave. You stabbed a defenceless victim to death in a ferocious attack.
"You are are dangerous and will remain so. It is a life sentence which means you will be released when it is decided it is safe to do so."
"I have utmost sympathy for the deceased's family."

The earliest fishermen using Salmon Bay were American Indians, specifically the Shilshole-Ahmish (people of Shilshole), who lived in the settlements at the north end of Salmon Bay and fished for their livelihood. The early day residents lived with mature forests — likely fir, cedar, hemlocks and spruce.
As non-Indian settlers moved into the area, a partnership of James and Daniel O'Leary and William Cochran put loggers to work, and by the early 1900s, only a few old-growth trees remained standing.
In time, modest parcels of cleared land supported houses and outbuildings. Subsistence farming made its appearance. Several creeks emptied into the Salmon Bay from Magnolia and Ballard. At low tides, muddy tidal flats appeared.
An 1884 City of Seattle report noted that the beaches near the entrance to the Bay were excellent for clam digging, and there was an abundant supply of crab, clams, oysters, mussels and shrimp.
In early photos, the beaches appeared open, with a few snags deposited by the tidal action.
Early non-Indian settlers appeared in the mid-1850s and began filing land claims in the 1860s. A Land Office map revealed Edmond Carr, H. A. Smith and John Ross filed claims on areas that are the site of today's Fishermen's Terminal.
An 1884 Seattle Public Library map — prepared by F. C. Tucker, Civil Engineer and Surveyor, for Eshelman Llewellyn and Co. — placed the area for the Fishermen's Terminal in the Pike Addition. This map indicated that a creek flowed through the terminal area, and the water came from the northwest side of Queen Anne. Today, there is no evidence of this stream.
As reported by the Ballard News-Tribune on July 26, 1902: "A war has broken out between the Puget Sound fish-trap owners and the gill-net fishermen." The gillnetters went into the Salmon Bay traps and fished, and the trap owners had them arrested. The gillnetters then declared the presence of traps in Puget Sound contrary to federal laws.
At the time, more than 500 men were engaged in trap fishing. The number of "trappers" at work gives substantial evidence to the presence of large numbers of salmon in Salmon Bay.
After condemnation and land acquisition in 1912, construction began on Fishermen's Terminal in 1913. At that time, Magnolia consisted of a few hundred residents and a small number of subsistence farms. Two wooden bridges provided access to downtown.
Construction of the Hiram Chittenden Locks was underway following groundbreaking ceremonies on Nov. 10, 1912.
The first significant step in the creation of Fishermen's Terminal was when the Port of Seattle Commissioners voted to adopt changes in the harbor lines of Salmon Bay in December 1911, which would result in one of the "districts" becoming Fishermen's Terminal.
The motion carried unanimously. The land allocated for the new terminal consisted of approximately 35.4 acres between 15th and 20th Avenue West and between West Emerson Street and Salmon Bay Waterway.
By the end of 1912, the Port of Seattle Commission's first annual report called the project "snug harbor" and proposed acquiring more land in the Interbay railroad yards for future commercial development. In 1913, Fishermen's Terminal became a functioning, identifiable facility on the edge of Salmon Bay, alongside the Northern Pacific Railroad trestle, a wooden structure that connected Magnolia, Queen Anne and Ballard.
At this time, the Salmon Bay waterway connected directly to Shilshole Bay and was subjected to the daily tides and the saltwater of Puget Sound. This condition would change when the Hiram Chittenden Locks began operation in 1917, and freshwater flowed from Lake Washington and Lake Union and surrounded the terminal's piers and docks. Freshwater eliminates the barnacles, which, in salt water, attach themselves to hulls and increase vessel drag.
In late 1914, the Port of Seattle exchanged the title to a portion of Smith's Cove Waterway Commission with the Great Northern Railway Co., receiving in return title to the property consisting of the Salmon Bay Terminal property and what was called "Tract B," which included approximately 7.67 acres south and 0.83 acres north of West Emerson Street.
While the Hiram Chittenden Locks were under construction, the Port of Seattle completed a permanent bulkhead and a new pier to expand Fishermen's Terminal. Completion of the $500,000 facility heralded a new era in the fishing industry, and a parade of nearly 200 boats opened the celebration.
One hundred years later, Fishermen's Terminal remains a welcoming sight for returning professional fishermen and women as they come home from their seasons at sea.
The Port of Seattle is committed to maintaining Fishermen's Terminal as the homeport of more than 500 commercial vessels of the North Pacific fishing fleet. Recent upgrades — including lasting concrete and metal docks and pilings, extensive lighting and security camera installations, and expanded indoor and outdoor storage, plus legal services, accounting and insurance offices, a grocery and even a barbershop — make Fishermen's Terminal unlike any other fishing port on the West Coast.
Events like the annual Fishermen's Fall Festival serve to showcase as well as educate about all of the hard work that goes into harvesting an estimated 50 percent of the United States' landed fish catch. Visitors to the terminal may not be aware that this part of Seattle represents an economic contribution of $5 billion to the area.
Commercial fishing remains a dangerous profession. Fishermen's Terminal is home to the Fishermen's Memorial, an impressive stone-and-bronze sculpture honoring the many local fishermen and women who have lost their lives in the pursuit of their work. A memorial service is offered each spring, on the first Sunday of May, to honor all those who have died at sea and to add new names to the plaque.
This year's memorial service will take place on May 4. The Fishermen's Fall Festival will happen on Oct. 4. For more information, visit www.seattlefishermensmemorial.org or www.fishermensfallfestival.org.

Buddhist mindfulness and tennis practice
Speaking Tree: Although Serbian Novak Djokovic was beaten at the Wimbledon finals by local star Andy Murray, I'm sure his Buddhist practice helped him to view the upset philosophically.
After all, Djokovic seems to spend a good amount of time meditating, Buddhist style. During Wimbledon, he has been spotted meditating at a Buddhist center in Wimbledon village. In his words, "It's very calm and quiet, obviously. During these two weeks of hectic Grand Slam atmosphere, there is huge amount of pressure and stress, so you need to have a place where you can switch off and recharge your batteries."

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – This time the rain held off, but that didn't keep the storm clouds on the field away as the Saint Leo baseball team was surprised by Eckerd College 6-4 in non-conference action on Tuesday evening from Turley Field.
Even though the two teams had their three-game Sunshine State Conference series marred by weather conditions and was not re-scheduled, Eckerd and Saint Leo managed to meet for the second time this season in a non-conference matchup.
Eckerd's Bryant Gibson broke a 4-4 standstill by lacing a double down the left-field line to lead off the eighth. He would later score on a well-placed sacrifice fly that gave the hosts a 5-4 advantage. The Tritons would add an insurance run a few batters later to add a bit of cushion to the lead.
Eckerd (16-28) jumped all over Saint Leo starter Ryan Sadler in their first series of plate appearances, putting up four runs on four hits in the bottom of the opening inning that had the Lions attempting to dig out of an immediate hole.
Despite the Tritons holding a four-run edge, Saint Leo (22-20) chipped away with runs in the second and fifth innings to eventually tie things up after a two-out RBI single by Dillon Vitale that found a gap into shallow center.
One of eight EC pitchers to toe the rubber, Kevin Plant (1-0) recorded 1.1 perfect innings pitched to record the win and Johnny Lancaster was credited with the save.
Appearing for Sadler in relief, Brandon Terry (1-1) tossed two innings in picking up the loss.
Both teams recorded 10 hits apiece as Anthony Santa continued to hold the hot bat, going 3-for-4 with a run scored.
The Lions will look to finish the 2012 season over .500 when they travel to Boca Raton for a three-game set with Lynn University. First pitch of the opening game of the series is scheduled for 3 p.m. on Friday afternoon.

We have just added a Surf City, NC Surf Forecast location.
The Topsail / Surf City area is an area, where there was too big of a gap between the Wrightsville and Emerald Isle areas. And the beach facing direction is really in between that of the areas to the north and south (more Southeast facing). We had several requests for this.
It looks like maybe some small, but clean fading south wind swell tomorrow morning for the area.
