Dodgers downed after Correia unravels early
Righty allows three homers; Mets turn 5-4-3-2 triple play in sixth
LOS ANGELES -- Kevin Correia felt rejuvenated. He felt as though, with the end of the year nearing, he was at his best, ready to raise his level of play with the heightened pennant-race stakes.
Before Sunday's 11-3 drubbing by the Mets, before he allowed three home runs and before he lasted just three innings, Correia took the Dodger Stadium mound -- on his 34th birthday, no less -- thinking he had great stuff. With a possible move to the bullpen looming, he thought his third start with the Dodgers could wind up as his very best.
He needed it to be.
"It was one of those rare days where you really thought you were going to have a good outing," Correia said, visibly frustrated after the game.
"And it didn't work out at all."
With a win, the Dodgers would have swept the Mets. They would have gained another game on the second-place Giants, who lost to the Nationals, in the National League West. Instead, the Dodgers maintained their 4 1/2-game lead.
For Correia, an 0-1 two-seam fastball didn't sink, didn't run, didn't do anything but find Travis d'Arnaurd's barrel in the second inning. It sailed over the center-field fence and erased an early 1-0 Dodgers lead. Tie game.
The next inning, two batters on, the Mets up, 2-1, another 0-1 count, Correia started his cutter exactly where he wanted it to, and he waited for it to cut in on the hands of Lucas Duda. It didn't cut in the slightest. Instead, it found itself in the right-field bleachers.
Three batters later, thanks to a two-out error by Adrian Gonzalez at first, shortstop Ruben Tejada had a crack at Correia, and he took him yard, too, to left-center field. Suddenly, a day that had once looked promising was over. Correia lasted just three innings, allowed seven hits and seven runs (five earned) in his second-shortest outing of the year.
"I've been around long enough to have a couple of outings like this, but I've been pretty good at staying away from the home run this year," Correia said. "You know usually it's a situation where they're looking for the pitch you throw, and you don't throw a great one.
"I think they guessed right, and I missed at the wrong times."
It was a game in which manager Don Mattingly said the Dodgers shot themselves in the foot on multiple occasions -- too many times. Pitching put the team in a large hole early, and the offense -- despite the return of shortstop Hanley Ramirez from the disabled list -- managed just two runs in six innings against a strong Bartolo Colon.
The team's greatest chance to claw back came in the bottom of the sixth. Dee Gordon led off the inning with a single, and after a Yasiel Puig walk, he scored on a base knock by Gonzalez.
But then, with an aggressive Puig trying to score from second base, Matt Kemp grounded into a 5-4-3-2 triple play, with Mets first baseman Duda whirling and throwing home to nab Puig. It was the Mets' first triple play since May 19, 2010, and it was the second time the Dodgers have had a triple play turned against them the season. The first came July 1 against Cleveland, and it also involved a baserunning gaffe by Puig.
"It's just the wrong play. It's what we talked to him about. We always go back to, on those types of plays, you play the scoreboard," Mattingly said. "The disappointing thing is I think that's the second time almost that same exact play happened, and you would hope that, you know, you want guys to learn from their mistakes, and get better."
That kind of disappointment was commonplace Sunday. It was the kind of game where little seemed to go right for the Dodgers, and everything did for the opposition.
"These games seem like they come every three or four weeks when you have kind of that clunker game," catcher A.J. Ellis said. "And those are the ones you try to dust off real quick."
With an off-day Monday, the Dodgers will have that opportunity. But it won't be easy for Correia. With Hyun-Jin Ryu eligible to come off the disabled list Friday, Correia could have made his last start for the Dodgers on Sunday. The plan was for him to pitch out of the bullpen before Ryu got hurt, and Mattingly said that's still the plan when Ryu returns.
Correia was well aware of those circumstances heading into the game, and he thought he might've been able to give the Dodgers something to think about. But his two-seamer didn't sink, his cutter didn't cut, and his day didn't turn out the way he had hoped it would.
"This one's going to bother me for a while just because of the situation I'm in," Correia said. "I really wanted to have a good game today, and I wanted to come out there and win the game today.
"This one hurts more than I can remember in quite a while."

SAM Vokes is proof that every second counts.
Minutes is what most Burnley fans want from him, and more of them, as a result of the impact he has made in recent games from the bench.
Two goals and one near miss, at the death against Watford, in the 23-year-old's seven late cameo appearances suggest that the striker would be knocking on the door of the starting 11.
But manager Sean Dyche insists the outlook for the Wales international is long term, with a plan in place to manage his progress carefully.
"Vokesy has moved around a lot on loan. When we got here his basic fitness levels were not appropriate for what we wanted," explained the Burnley boss.
When asked by a shareholder at this week's AGM when Vokes' time would come, he replied simply: "When we deem it appropriate for him to get a chance."
But, ahead of this afternoon's game at Birmingham City, Dyche revealed that Vokes is doing all the right things to force his way into his first team plans.
"Now he is leaner and a bit fitter and we've worked with the whole group on that," he continued.
"His part will come.
"Players like Vokesy are getting stronger and sharper.
"I think he can be a big player over time for this football club.
"I think he has accepted our regime and we will get him fitter and sharper. And he looks like he has got confidence.
"Building that confidence over time is part of the process.
"Some players you will recognise as nailed-on starters – your core starters.
"He is developing hopefully into that, allowing him time to build his confidence.
"I believe in players being ready once, not twice, because when they go in they can deliver straight away."
Circumstances are similar with Junior Stanislas, who came off the bench to provide the assist for both of Vokes' goals – at Ipswich, where it proved to be nothing more than a consolation in a 2-1 defeat, and on derby day.
On that occasion Vokes towered to meet Stanislas' cross and send a header past Paul Robinson to secure a late point against rivals Blackburn Rovers.
But Dyche is crying out for more.
"It's a funny one with Stan. He has talent and we want him to deliver that for longer in games," said the Clarets boss.
"He is another one we are working with behind the scenes.
"We do a lot of work with him away from the football pitch on analysis.
"That's with all the players."
And that is why Dyche is prepared to be flexible with styles and formations as he tries to find the best fit for his troops.
"We've walked into a situation where the club had an open style of play which could be good on a good day and not so good on a bad day," he said. "We've had to look at the best system possible.
"We've got round pegs in not square holes but not quite round enough holes.
"We've been testing that and playing around a little bit."
Keith Treacy could also be emerging into the mix after making his first appearance since August last weekend, from the bench against Watford.
"Keith's another one who's been working very hard, as have all the players behind the scenes," said Dyche.
"He's been coming along nicely, he's been putting the work in that's required to get himself up to match fitness and he's getting there.
"You can never truly tell until players like him get a start but he's certainly improved his fitness levels, there's no doubting his ability, amongst a number of others, but he's there or thereabouts now."
Over the notoriously busy Christmas and New Year, the Clarets have healthy competition at a good time.
"A lot of people are beginning to show up," said Dyche.
"The (friendly) games we arrange we take very seriously.
"The one at Huddersfield we were fortunate they agreed to play it on their pitch and it gives you that nice feel to it.
"There were a number of good performances in that and the way they went about it was excellent.
"That can only be good for us.
"Players are hungry to get in the team to get that shirt and deliver performances and enjoy what they're doing in order to stay in."

Wet and cold weather in the U.S. crop belt next week will continue to stall spring corn plantings but also will add valuable soil moisture to drought-stricken cropland, an agricultural meteorologist said on Friday.
"There will be a two-day break from rains today and tomorrow, but that's about it," said Don Keeney, meteorologist for MDA Weather Services. "There will be a prolonged period of rain next week, and it will be cold as well."
Keeney said temperatures next week might fall to the 20-to-30-degree Fahrenheit range in the Plains hard red winter wheat region, posing a threat of more freeze damage to the growing crop.
"I don't think it will be cold enough to cause much damage, but we'll have to keep an eye on that," he said. Keeney said warmer and drier weather was expected in the crop belt in May, which should allow farmers to begin planting the 2013 corn crop.
The cold soils and wet weather are slowing corn seedings, but the moisture also is being welcomed by farmers who are trying to recover from the worst drought in over 50 years, which slashed crop output last year.
Early spring storms brought badly needed moisture to parched soils in parts of the U.S. Plains, reducing the area hardest hit by drought in key farm states, according to a climatology report issued Thursday.
Beneficial, soaking rains finally fell on hard-hit Texas, Oklahoma and Nebraska, according to the Drought Monitor report, which is issued weekly by a consortium of government and academic climate scientists and takes into account conditions as of each Tuesday.
The report noted significant improvement in north central, central, and southeastern Texas, but little to no rain was observed in western and extreme southern Texas, allowing drought conditions there to expand.
Keeney said that as of Saturday, 2.0 to 6.0 inches (5 to 15 cm) of precipitation was needed in Kansas to bring soil moisture levels up to normal.
In Nebraska, 6.0 to 8.0 inches was needed in the west, but up to 10.0 inches was needed in most of eastern Nebraska.
Six to 8.0 inches also was needed in a corner of northwest Iowa, while zero to 4.0 inches was needed elsewhere in the state. Normal soil moisture levels were seen in an area roughly from Missouri, Illinois and Wisconsin eastward. (Additional reporting by Carey Gillam in Kansas City; Editing by Lisa Von Ahn)

CONROE, Texas - Authorities say they arrested a man on Wednesday accused of possessing child pornography.
After a lengthy investigation, Montgomery County officials announced several charges against John Charles Fortner, including a total of five counts of possession of child pornography, a third degree felony.
District attorneys say the charges allege that Fortner knowingly obtained and possessed multiple images of videos of child pornography with male and female victims, ranging in age from 7 to 15 years old.
The images and videos depict children and adults engaging in sex acts together, according to district attorneys.
During the investigation and search of Fortner's electronic devices, officials said new information revealed that there may be unidentified victims of additional offenses.
"That's the reason we'd like to get the word out," said Montgomery County District Attorney Jeff Hohl. "Any type of crime like this is obviously extremely important to our office. We're talking about children. We're talking about violation of children. So, we take these very seriously. And we're going to do everything we can to see this through."
Authorities said the devices containing the content include his computers and cellphone, which contain statements regarding the possible abuse of local children and at least one parent threatening him for molesting a child.
District attorneys said Fortner was known to reside at 3300 N Loop 336 W, Apartment 628 and drove a 2001 Dodge Dakota.
In addition, authorities said the investigation has shown that Fortner has traveled significantly throughout the US, including:
- Maryland - July 2012
- Houston - August 2012
- Florida - September 2012
- Louisiana - September 2012
- Dallas FT - October 2012
- Louisiana - October 2012
- San Antonio - October 2012
- Houston - December 2012
- Pennsylvania - December 2012
- Brownsville - December 2012
- San Antonio - December 2012
- Pennsylvania - January 2013
- San Antonio - January 2013
- Houston - January 2013
A third degree felony count carries a punishment range of probation of 2 to 10 years in prison, and up to a $10,000 fine.
District attorneys said Fortner is in custody, but they authorities are still looking for any possible victims involved in this case.
If you have any information regarding Fortner, you are asked to contact Nikki Neeley at the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office at 936-539-7800 or JJ Stitt at the Precinct 3 Constable's Office.

Positioning/Rendering Problem
Posted 29 November 2011 - 07:05 PM
This is what I see (the text box with the rounded corners moves into or away from the picture depending on resolution)
But I hear that on some views (have no detail on browser), both the text box and the "Purchase Info" link are out of place. One friend looked on her iPhone and first, only the text box was astray, but the second time she looked, it was fine.
Since I can't see any of it and my code looks good (tom me) - what am I doing wrong here?

Yes, but that expands the wrapper which is not the effect want - I want exactly what's showing on the image I posted, but don't understand why some people see things out of whack and what can be done to make my idea work. (assuming it's possible)
Ok Try this from what I tested it seems to work ok in firefox v6.02 although I'll leave it up to see if it works in other major browsers.
This will stop the floating text box from overlapping your image when you resize the browser window. Which I think is what
you want. everthing else should look the same. This shouldn't expand your wrapper I think.
first try to restructure your html move the #floater HTML DIV inside

like this:

2. In css make the #post position relative like below
#post { position: relative; }
3. change your css #floater to below
#floater { position: absolute; width: 150px; background: #1b1b1b; top: 100px; color: #C0C0C0; -moz-border-radius: 15px; border-radius: 15px; -webkit-border-radius: 15px; border: 2px solid #C0C0C0; right: -90px; }
See if that works

- and the box will slide into the image if the resolution is less. I don't see that as a problem,
But what I hear is that the text box appears in the top right corner, and of the "Purchase Info" line, I only hear it's 'out of place'.
I just have no idea why these elements appear out of whack, under what circumstances, and what I'd to fix it. Maybe I'm missing some dimensions - don't know but would love to figure this.
I did try your suggestion: http://www.aandbwebd...everglades3.htm - and it appears to work - thank you for your help - but so did my way: http://www.aandbwebd...verglades2.html
Since I never saw the box in the upper right corner or the "Purchase Info" line out of place to begin with, I can't be sure it this works for whoever saw my stuff out of whack - and I still don't understand what the problem with the code is/was, that I see things just fine in Fx, IE9, Chrome, Opera on 2 different computers and my iPHone 3 (OS5 - Safari), and some other people see things out of place.
Does anybody have any insights?
What makes it even stranger, one friend checked the site for me on her iphone, and it was out of whack. But when she checked it again later that day - I had NOT touched it all day - it displayed fine. Same iPhone - how the heck????

faizoff - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkI just reinstalled the developer's preview on my spare SSD last night and didn't realize it took over the boot loader from my main Windows 7 installation.
Probably should've just waited for the consumer version to be released. Reply
dagamer34 - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkYep, gotta be careful. Need to find a way to install the consumer preview on a USB drive without nuking the boot loader on Windows 7 install. Reply
Kelemvor - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkThat'd be cool. I really want to try Win8 but don't want to have it mess up my Win7 machine. Maybe find a spare hard drive to install it on but that'd be a pain to keep swapping hard drives. Launching it from USB would be cool. Reply
B3an - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkWin 8 has the "Windows To Go" feature where you can install and run the whole OS from a USB flash drive. Just plug the drive in to any PC and away you go. Not sure if this is just for the Enterprise / Server version though. But maybe it will be in the Consumer Preview with an easy way to set it up from the new installer menu. Either way, it's a very cool feature and i hope it's in all versions. Reply
Andrew.a.cunningham - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkThe Windows 7 beta was the Ultimate version, and in Win7 the Ultimate/Enterprise editions are identical except for branding and licensing. If it's an available feature, the Consumer Preview should have it. Reply
retrospooty - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - link" Need to find a way to install the consumer preview on a USB drive without nuking the boot loader on Windows 7 install."
Unplug your hard drive, then do the install. Then plug back in, and choose your boot device manually. Reply
Mr Perfect - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkYep, had to do just that with the 7 Beta. Otherwise 7 nuked the XP loader. This was one of the things I was hoping they'd improve on this time around. It really shouldn't be messing with other OSes on the PC. Reply
faizoff - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkWhen I installed win 8 dev preview I should've plugged the hard drive out. Last time I installed win 7 beta I did that. I was too lazy to do it this time and looks like my boot loader is taken over by win 8.
Going to play around and figure out what to do about it.
Also my Dev preview will not for the life of me shut down. I have to power it down with the power button.
So annoying. Reply
krazyderek - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkdo the new windows releases not run well in virtual machines likes virtual box, parrallels, vmware etc?? Reply
arnold58 - Friday, February 10, 2012 - linkBCD should sort out your problems .. at least it did on my win7/winXp/W8. was going to add ubuntu, too much methinks Reply
faizoff - Friday, February 10, 2012 - linkYea I found out a way to remove the loader using BCD but decided to actually play around WIn 8 for a while and am really liking it.
Thinking of getting a multi-touch Monitor now. Reply

Dan Ohlgren, a coach in the Rogers system since the school opened nine years ago, is the Royals' new activities director.
"This is what I've always wanted to do, be in charge of athletics at a school," said Ohlgren, 34, who was named last week to succeed the retiring Paul Gustafson.
Ohlgren has been head softball coach and assistant football coach at RHS since 2003-04, with the exception of one year he spent at Zimmerman as A.D. He said he gave up that ZHS post largely because he missed Rogers.
"Dan has an admin degree and has often helped us out in the office when the principals had to be at meetings, and with supervision of athletic events when we needed help," said principal Roman Pierskalla, a member of the hiring committee. "He has coached in two successful programs, and he seems to be well-liked by the kids.
"He still had to interview well, which he did. It can be tough to interview with your colleagues."
Ohlgren and his wife Amanda have two children, Justyce and Davin. He is a business teacher but will leave the classroom for his new post.
At RHS, Ohlgren and his softball team had the distinctions of being the first program with a winning record and a state tournament trip (in 2005). His involvement with football under Marc Franz has also been rewarding as the Royals grew from two 0-9 seasons to their current status as three-time conference and section champs.
Ohlgren is a native of Menagha, where he played football, basketball, and baseball. He was a college baseball outfielder with Central Lakes Community College (Brainerd) and Concordia-Moorhead. He taught and coached in Wayzata (girls hockey assistant) before joining District 728.
Pierskalla said there was "a very good group of candidates" to pick from. He said the strong field was probably attracted by Rogers earning a good reputation for successful sports programs in a short time.
Gustafson, having worked with Ohlgren throughout his own nine-year tenure, applauded the choice.
"Dan knows the school and he will do a great job," said Gustafson.
Ohlgren said he learned much about being an A.D. from dealing with Gustafson and John Barth, who retired at Elk River a year ago. "They will still be on my call list," said Ohlgren. He added that the year at Zimmerman also taught him a lot.
Ohlgren's first coaching hire will be the softball job that he vacated.

Katharine Bryan said, "We feel like he's recovering really well. He's obviously eating and drinking, which is a great thing, but he will be recovering for the next six weeks."
When Nathan was born, Katharine and Beau Bryan of Temple, Texas, had their entire world turned upside down.
She explained, "We went in for his normal two-day checkup after he was born and the nurse heard a murmur."
Nathan had a hole in his heart the size of a dime, one of the most common heart defects.
Dad Beau Bryan said, "When you schedule open-heart surgery for your child, that's a scary time."
The Bryans were referred to Texas Children's Hospital.
Nathan's procedure was the 10,000th for TCH Surgeon-in-Chief Dr. Charles Fraser and the congenital heart team since 1995.
Fraser said, "We've expanded our scope of care enormously since then because we've been able to demonstrate sequentially and methodically that we can do more and more. We can operate on smaller children. We can do more complicated repairs, support the failing circulation with machines. We can support our transplant program to include lungs."
Beau Bryan added, "Wow! They do a lot of these surgeries here, a very high volume, a great success. They have great outcomes. They have a dedicated team, so it made us feel very good about the decision to come here."
Happy as can be playing with bubbles, Nathan's back to being a kid, though wrestling with his big brother might be off limits for a while!
Katharine Bryan said, "We really believe that he's gotten world-class care and we're so grateful that it worked out this way."
To which Nathan added, "Thank you for fixing my heart!"
Nathan is already out of the hospital and back home in Temple.

I really enjoyed Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The capacity to upgrade your body with awesome biotic abilities in a way to foster your own kind of game play was as solid as a Skyrim sweet roll. That's why in this article I'll be looking at some real life tech that is leading us to the new age of Sarif Industries; who knows maybe Adam Jenson is just a few innovations away.

Forum:BENSON IS HERE
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
BENSON IS HERE! BENSON IS FAR SUPERIOR TO YOU! BENSON TYPES IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE BENSON SPEAKS IN ALL CAPS! ONE DAY BENSON WILL KILL YOU ALL, OR PERHAPS OWN YOU! BENSON JUST WANTED EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT HE IS HERE. Benson 00:11, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- ALSO, SOMEONE NOMINATE BENSON FOR N00B OF THE MONTH. HE DESERVES IT. Benson 00:14, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Hey guys, Benson is here. -- » Sir Savethemooses Grand Commanding Officer ... holla atcha boy» 00:22, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Ye gods, he truly is! Wow. STM, how do you know these things? --User:Nintendorulez 00:26, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Well, at least he doesn't want to be KING OF ALL ICE CREAM, as that position is now taken. --Splaka 01:22, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
BENSON THANKS YOU! BENSON IS GLAD PUNY RULERS OF THIS LAND APROVE OF HIS RAMPENT RANTING! HE LIKES THIS LAND BETTER THEN PUNY OTHER WEBSITE WIKIPEDIA! THEY DID NOT APROVE OF BENSON'S GLORY. Benson 00:11, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Well I, for one, am glad — nay, overjoyed that BENSON is here. For months now, Uncyclopedia has been rudderless, adrift in a sea of directionless chaos and shattered dreams of glory. But now, finally, BENSON stands as a shining beacon of hope amongst the shallow dross, a veritable giant among giants, a lone bastion of honesty, integrity, and courage, boldly leading the downtrodden and oppressed out of their self-imposed darkness and into the glittering, hallowed halls of freedom and enlightenment. As long as BENSON is here, never again must we submit to the iniquities of the unfeeling evildoers who would suppress our creativity, silence our voices, and stamp out our yearning for truth. Yes, wherever decent, caring people are forced to suffer the stifling yoke of the humorless and emotionally bankrupt purveyors of mediocrity and disempowerment, wherever those seeking a better life for themselves and their children and their children's children and their children's children's nannies are made to give up their dreams in the face of bitterness and disillusionment, BENSON is there — to smash the forces of mediocrity, stupidity, and fear; to smash those who would callously take from us our rights, our purpose, our very existence; indeed, to smash the very darkness itself! Yes, BENSON is, finally, here — always and forever, an unfailing, ever-burning, eternal flame of retribution against injustice... May you never doubt the truth of these words, not even for a moment, and let nothing deter you or dissuade you from following the path of righteousness, the path of greatness: the path of BENSON! Vive la BENSON! c • > • cunwapquc? 05:51, 6 June 2006 (UTC) By the way, it's spelled "rampant."

O, great BENSON. I'm pretty confused. At the Holy shrine of BENSON where you predict us puny entities being Pwn3d by you and where that damb poop has gone you claim to dispise Santa's presents. Now are those the presents he gives you, or possibly the close proximity to your person ? -- Vosnul 06:20, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Stop this nonsense now, BENSON, and get back to sorting out the governer's sock drawer. --Sir Hardwick Fundlebuggy (Bleat) 07:40, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I shout, to inform you all that this would all be for no good, to appoint BENSON as a bureaucrat would do nothing for a ministerial / corporate reshuffle - If you truly believe, my fellow bretheren, that the time has come to rise up against our oppressors, then this is the man who you should be appointing, as the Diplomatic Representive for Uncyclopedia in the Senate of Wikia, who will be, as supreme overlord, able to appoint a new generation of Sysops, breathe life into the dead body of our wiki - the time has come upon us, to do what is right, and what is important, pragmatic and for the best, then you will join us in our struggle - let nothing stay your hands, and go forwards, into the light.

Or Does it?
BENSON may be banned for a day, a week, even a year - but the impact of what has occurred here clearly transcends the mundane reality of everyday bannage. What I think we have to do now is step back for a moment, and try to get some perspective on how these events have changed our lives - indeed, changed the world. Not since the invention of the glazed doughnut has such a completely revolutionary movement in the cultural landscape taken place, and the ramifications - political, economic, social, and psychological - could be more extensive than any of us are currently capable of imagining. One might easily envision a near-complete reversal of practically all modern trends in the development of worldwide class-structure hierarchies and the international exchange of ideas and commerce, as well as the rise of new quasi-religious movements and moral-ethical philosophies, almost like a new meta-reality, sweeping away the old reality like so much worthless dust. As Neitzche so aptly put it, "Who ever knows he is deep, strives for clarity; whoever would like to appear deep to the crowd, strives for obscurity"... We must therefore simply accept that we cannot, no matter how hard we try, truly appreciate and understand the ineffable and monumental consequences of the arrival of a figure such as BENSON on the scene, any more than we can understand why the world exists or what our purpose within it truly is. Our role, then, is to merely be the audience, mute spectators to an event whose magnitude may not be fully appreciated for generations, if it is ever fully appreciated. At least that's what I'm gonna do, at least... I'm headed out for some doughnuts right now, actually. Anybody want to come with? c • > • cunwapquc? 02:36, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- Sure, what the heck. I'm all for doughnuts. —Hinoa KUN (talk) 02:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- I have enough money to get at least two custard-filled douhgnuts. I'll come.--Witt E, 04:12, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

- ^^^^^ Quick somone make a potochop of what Brad said an nom it for VFP!!! ITS COMEDIC GOLD!!! --Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 19:29, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- A potochop? Don't you mean a potato chip? I thought we were going out for doughnuts... Anyway, no matter - but I am curious about this. Have any of you met any other Uncyclopedians in real life? Actually, is there anyone here (other than WP big-shots like David Gerard and Mindspillage, who presumably go to WP "meetups" on a regular basis) who's met other Uncyclopedians in person who didn't already know them beforehand?
- I have relatively little to hide at this point other than maybe my social security number, so if anyone here happens to be passing through Des Moines, Iowa and is looking for someone really boring and tedious to have lunch with, and you're over 18 years of age, by all means just send me an e-mail from my user page. My treat, even! (Within reason, of course. And no cameras.) I'm booked up for tomorrow and Sunday, but the rest of the year is probably workable. c • > • cunwapquc? 02:51, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Benson never dies for he is ageless and a god! Also, he is made of metal...magic metal...not the cheap kind. Also, Benson wants to remind you all to eat your Veggies or die. Benson 17:19, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

TROWBRIDGE's John Jackson gave himself the perfect build-up to next month's Winter Olympic Games in Sochi by claiming Britain's first four-man European Championships medal for 20 years in Germany today.
Paxcroft Mead pilot Jackson, who along with partner Paula Walker was confirmed in Great Britain's team for the Games in Russia, which get under way on February 7, finished fourth in the final FIBT World Cup race of the season in Konigssee.
Jackson's crew, including Stuart Benson, Bruce Tasker and Joel Fearon, finished just 0.01 of a second behind the Canadian bob led by Lyndon Rush to finish agonisingly just off the podium.
But with Switzerland's Beat Hefti finishing second behind the USA's race winner Steven Holcomb, Jackson's performance was enough to secure European silver, the first time a British four-man crew had won a medal since 1994.
Jackson, who fought back from a ruptured Achilles tendon sustained during training last summer, fnished second at the World Cup round in Lake Placid prior to Christmas.
"It's a great result to send us to Sochi," GB Bobsleigh performance director Gary Anderson told BBC Sport.
"There is still much more to come from this crew."
Walker and Rebekah Wilson finished 11th in the final women's World Cup race of the season, ending the campaign 12th overall.

EVENT organisers Across the Divide have once again been celebrating the success of the BBC's One Show Rickshaw Challenge.
Team Rickshaw alone raised £1,127,317 for the 2012 Children in Need Appeal.
It involved a team of six youngsters, all of whom have been supported by or are still supported by Children in Need-funded projects, embarking on an arduous journey on November 9 in Wales and completing a marathon 411 miles to BBC TV Centre in London.
Across the Divide were again the organisational force behind the challenge.
As well as the commitment and dedication of the cycling team it takes the professional know-how and experience of a trusted event team to ensure that such a complicated rolling event was a success.
Events manager Paul Collin said: "There are so many considerations when organising an event like this.
"As well as crucial aspects, such as the safety of the riders and the public, you've got to plan for the unexpected – people being taken ill, bad weather, last-minute changes to the schedule etc."
Across the Divide managing director Mark Hannaford said: "We were delighted to again be the chosen events managers for the BBC's Children in Need Rickshaw Challenge."

INSTITUTIONAL corruption might have been found within the Metropolitan Police if an inquiry into Stephen Lawrence's death had received all the evidence, Jack Straw has said.
The Blackburn MP and former Home Secretary said he initially believed the Met Police's reluctance for the inquiry he announced in 1997 was a 'bureaucratic unwillingness' to accept scrutiny.
But Mr Straw told MPs it was now clear there was probably dishonesty at the highest level of the force, which led it to refuse to offer evidence, despite being required to do so.
Sir William Macpherson's 1999 report, which examined the police investigation into the death of Mr Lawrence, was critical of the 'institutional racism' within the Met Police and policing generally.
Mr Lawrence, 18, was killed in a racist attack in April 1993.
Speaking in the Commons, Mr Straw said he was assured the Special Demonstration Squad's (SDS) activities on subversives had stopped when he was Home Secretary, adding he knew nothing of their work during his period as Home Secretary from 1997 to 2001.
But he said he hoped the new public inquiry would get to the bottom of the issue.
Mr Straw praised current Home Secretary Theresa May's 'resolute determination' in pursuing Mr Lawrence's case, telling her: "I have to say to you, in the 35 years I've been in this House, this is one of the most shocking and serious statements I've heard by any minister from any party."
He added: "Given what you have now said, had that evidence been offered I think it is at least possible that Sir William Macpherson and his colleagues would have not only concluded as they did that there had been institutional racism, but they may have concluded that there had been institutional corruption as well."
Mr Straw added he was pleased the permanent secretary would examine what happened under the previous government, adding he would cooperate fully.

The World's Rarest Birds
This illustrated book vividly depicts the most endangered birds in the world and provides the latest information on the threats each species faces and the measures being taken to save them. Today, 571 bird species are classified as critically endangered or endangered, and a further four now exist only in captivity. This landmark book features stunning photographs of 500 of these species--the results of a prestigious international photographic competition organized specifically for this book. It also showcases paintings by acclaimed wildlife artist Tomasz Cofta of the 75 species for which no photos are known to exist.
The World's Rarest Birds has introductory chapters that explain the threats to birds, the ways threat categories are applied, and the distinction between threat and rarity. The book is divided into seven regional sections--Europe and the Middle East; Africa and Madagascar; Asia; Australasia; Oceanic Islands; North America, Central America, and the Caribbean; and South America. Each section includes an illustrated directory to the bird species under threat there, and gives a concise description of distribution, status, population, key threats, and conservation needs. This one-of-a-kind book also provides coverage of 62 data-deficient species.
"It is a sobering thought that, without heroic conservation efforts, many of these birds may soon exist only on the pages of books like this."--Natural History
"Dense, richly informative. . . . Offers a showcase of struggling birds globally--but each shot through a lens that celebrates their diversity, vibrance, elegance, and enthusiastic displays."--Audubon Magazine
"A must have for those with an interest in bird conservation."--Ian Paulsen, Birdbooker Report
"A coffee table treasure or a rainy day home birding experience. I highly recommend The World's Rarest Birds as a valuable addition to the libraries of conservationists and birders alike."--Brad Sylvester, Examiner.com, Birdwatching
"The book is educational, promotes conservation, looks nice, but at the same time is a reference source for those rare birds. . . . The World's Rarest Birds is like that stuff you put in your gas tank to add oomph to your engine, but with birdbooks. A regional library of references will suddenly have high octane information on some of the least known species."--Greg Laden, Science Blogs

Ross smacks two of Red Sox four solo homers
Dempster strikes out 10 in six strong innings for first win of season
BOSTON -- In making their first significant transaction last winter, the Red Sox got backup catcher David Ross, mostly due to his reputation for being one of the best game-callers around. But the man has some pop in that bat -- parking-lot power, in fact.
Ross hit two towering shots that cleared the Green Monster on Friday night, landing in the parking lot on Lansdowne Street, and had his first career four-hit game.
The two homers by Ross, not to mention solo shots by Will Middlebrooks and David Ortiz, helped fuel the Red Sox to a 7-3 victory over the Astros on Friday night at Fenway Park.
"First time ever," said Ross. "I've never been 4-for-4 so I'm pretty excited about that. You know, it seems like this team has been somebody else every night. I'm excited to be a part of this team and a lot of these guys help each other out, a lot of these guys help me out. It's nice to be able to contribute."
Making the big night all the more gratifying for Ross was the fact he came into the game in a slump and spent extra time in the cage before the game.
"The way I'm swinging, I'm just aiming to try and see the ball and get a hit," said Ross, who improved his average to .241. "It's a lot of work and I was here early for hitting today just trying to figure some things out and just constantly working. It's a constant battle for me and getting in rhythm. It was nice to have a great game."
Ryan Dempster, who had only received 2.63 runs of support per game in his first four starts with Boston, finally got some offense to work with while picking up his first win with his new team.
The veteran right-hander walked three and struck out 10, lowering his ERA to 3.30.
"That's a nice feeling, for sure," said Dempster. "It was a good game -- a lot of excitement. Great game by David Ross. What a catch by Jonny Gomes in the outfield. Just a little bit of everything today. It's always nice to get the first win out of the way, especially the first one with a new team, and hopefully I can build off that and work toward another."
Jacoby Ellsbury had a milestone stolen base in the bottom of the sixth -- the 200th of his career. He became the third player in Red Sox history to reach that mark, joining Harry Hooper and Tris Speaker. Ellsbury's 11 stolen bases lead the Majors.
"When he's healthy, he's one of the more dynamic players in the big leagues," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "Whether it's on the basepaths or the ability for extra-base potential in the box, he's doing that again."
The Red Sox jumped out in the first. Ellsbury led off with an infield hit before Dustin Pedroia belted a one-out double off the Green Monster, and Ellsbury raced home from first.
Ross extended the lead to 2-0 in the second when he launched a solo shot over the Monster.
"Yeah, he's just locked in right now," said Dempster. "It's pretty incredible. What a day, 4-for-4. It's awesome."
Dempster gave one back in the top of the third. Matt Dominguez started the rally with a double and moved to third on a flyout to center. He scored on a fielder's-choice grounder by Robbie Grossman.
But Astros starter Erik Bedard was unable to have a single clean inning.
"It's always tough when the starter does not go deep into the game and you go to your bullpen early and you're behind the eight ball and behind in the game as well," said Astros manager Bo Porter. "At some point, we're going to need these guys to start to go deeper into the game."
Pedroia belted his second double of the night down the line in right with one out in the third. With two outs, Mike Napoli ripped an RBI double. It was Napoli's 17th extra-base hit and 12th double, both of which set Red Sox records for April, and he doubled again in the seventh.
Middlebrooks and Ross got the bottom of the fourth off to a rousing start, belting back-to-back homers over the Monster to make it a 5-1 game. At that point, Porter decided that was enough for Bedard.
The Astros got another run in the fifth on a sacrifice fly by Jose Altuve. Gomes prevented further damage by making a sensational diving catch in left to rob Jason Castro of extra bases. Ranging toward the line, Gomes completely sprawled out to snag the baseball.
Despite getting off to a rough start at the plate (.189 average, no homers, one RBI), Gomes continues to bring intangibles to the field every time he plays.
"There's two L's in this game -- there's leather and lumber," Gomes said. "Hopefully you can try and bring both every day but you've definitely got to leave the yard with at least bringing one of them. It was nice to make that catch. It was a big catch. It worked out."
Boston's offense kept bringing it. Ortiz ripped his second homer to center in as many nights, a solo shot that just cleared the wall, to make it 6-2 in the fifth.
Altuve had another sac fly in the seventh, but Gomes answered with an RBI single in the eighth.
For Gomes, it was his first RBI with the Red Sox.
"When the team is winning, no one is in a slump," said Gomes. "No one at all. I don't consider myself in a slump. I just haven't started yet. No harm, no foul. You've got guys hitting the ball over the fence."
And in some cases, into the parking lot.

The Way Things GoFriday, May 6th, 2011
Sean Jack is a senior at UVM studying English and Film. He works in the Media Resources Department of the Bailey Howe Library. We asked him to tell us about one of his favorite films from the library's collection. Here's what he had to say:
"Growing up, The Way Things Go was my favorite movie. I realize that this is an odd statement –what child would pick the filming of an art installation as their favorite movie? – but as a child this film captivated me like no other. I've always been fascinated by Rube Goldberg machines, purposefully over-complicated devices that perform a simple task through a series of chain reactions. Contraptions like this have been featured in many films, for example, the meal-making machines found in Pee-wee's Big Adventure, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and Back to the Future, but what makes The Way Things Go special is the sheer ingenuity and enormity of the endeavor filmed in the name of art.
"Constructed in an abandoned warehouse, the device, an assemblage of household items like balloons, tires, tea kettles, and ladders, spans an incredible 100 feet of cause and effect style reactions, as one item pushes, spins, or catapults another into action. Peter Fischi and David Weiss, the creators of both the film and the contraption, are known as "the merry pranksters of contemporary art" (New York Times), an apt moniker considering the jovial, childlike wonderment which I feel the film espouses.
"The Way Things Go is very much about motion, and viewing the film is akin to watching a well executed dance. Each stage of the contraption has its own specific motion, however the one thing each element has in common is that every movement is delicately deliberate. Whether it's the topsy-turvy roll of a barrel as it saunters its way up a ramp or the haunting swing of a pendulum caught aflame, each is equal parts wonderful and beautiful."

Shades Rep Presents THE INFORMER at Haverstraw Youth Theater Tonight
Shades Repertory will present The Informer, a play by Joseph P. McDonald. Adapted from Liam O'Flaherty's classic novel, The Informer is set in the aftermath of the Irish Civil War, illuminating the tragic conflict that continues to divide Ireland today.
It is a story of Gypo Nolan (Andrew Whitney), a brute of a man in need of food and shelter, who informs on a comrade wanted by the authorities. Nolan is hunted by Dan Gallagher (Robert Vazquez), the leader of the outlawed Revolutionary Organization, as he roams Dublin's pubs and brothels in search of shelter and solace. Directed by Samuel Harps, The Informer is a drama that explores political betrayal, retribution and salvation.
The cast for The Informer: Andrew Whitney, Robert Vazquez, Jim Coakley, Eddie Box, Moira Box, Ryan Danahy, Ken Fishel, Noreen Gallucci, Barney Griffin, Marisa Gore, Jessica Jaber, Kathleen Koster, Matt Meck, Derek Tarson, Gordon Wolotira and Toni Wreck.

Among them are the full length dramas Women of Armagh, Pieces Of Lightning and A Reed In The Water , which was presented at the Abingdon Theater in NYC. He has written librettos for A Tale Of Two Cities produced at the Helen Hayes Performing Arts Center and Rasputin, The Musical. Current projects include an adaptation og Liam O'Flaherty's classic novel, The Informer and a bizarre tale entitled Tete a Tete.

If you are enrolled in FEHB coverage, you don't need a Marketplace plan to meet Affordable Care Act coverage standards.
The Multi-State Plan (MSP) Program, established under the Affordable Care Act, directs OPM to contract with private health insurers in each State to offer high-quality, affordable health insurance options called Multi-State Plans. MSP coverage is offered through the Health Insurance Marketplace, where financial assistance is available to those who qualify.
You can select an MSP option during the open enrollment period, which starts on November 1, 2016, for coverage beginning as early as January 1, 2017.
OPM has efficiently administered the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program for over 50 years, keeping administrative costs low while providing strong consumer protections. Drawing on this experience, OPM will provide strong oversight of MSP insurers and work to ensure a level playing field in the Marketplace.
Please note that although "multi-state" implies portable coverage or the ability to get in-network care out of state, not all MSP options provide such coverage. You will want to review your plan's out-of-network payment policies or provider directory carefully.

So, "I am excited to introduce" doesn't really cut it — I literally could jump up and down and tell everyone I know about the new contributing writers (fairly certain my coworker, Jill, who I nearly tackled this morning just to tell her, will attest to). Crista and Katie will make a fabulous addition the Pizzazzerie.com team. WELCOME!

She has a passion for creative DIY projects, new trends and ideas, and is often called upon to help put together events and activities for friends and family. Currently working as the Advertising and Branding Manager of WE tv and Wedding Central in New York City, she is also well versed in social media strategies and her background includes positions at various entertainment companies within the industry. Crista received her degree in TV and Film Production from the SI Newhouse School at Syracuse University.

Katie graduated from the University of Miami in Florida with a major in Advertising/Psychology and a minor in Marketing.

Celebrating with Cookies
How are we going to celebrate the addition of these 2 fabulous ladies? By making Chocolate Caramel Cookies with Sea Salt of course! Just thought I'd leave you with this yummy cookie recipe – head over to my friend Maria's site, Two Peas & Their Pod for this recipe (and dozens of others).
