Granted, you're now known as Mr. Christmas.
I wish I was mentally healthy. (Because I'm not anyways, so hah!)

I wish to be the most muscled man on Earth! I obviously do not, but I want to see where this goes. :P
Psh, like I'd ever take pills of any sort.

I wish I wasn't so tired, so that I could keep thinking of corruptions and wishes to keep this going ad infinitum.
(You're free to make stop making my wishes corrupt! :P
Granted! You are now a pink scientist Twi'lek that discovered a pill that would make you to be able not to spend the same energy everyday, meaning that the energy you used for one day now lasts for one month, thus you're don't get tired! Problem is, if you go to the toilet any time, you loose all that one month energy, and you can only recharge the energy in one week! (This was verified during your experiments with the pill. :P)
I wish to be able to water bend!
We wait! For our hero!
I don't think there will be a hero... :b That wish is incorruptible.... :b
Well, fine. I'll take the initiative.
I wish I was asleep.

I wish the cookies I eat to be red and pink!
Granted, but insomnia.

On the last Sunday of this past March, the legendary Pico Rivera Sports Arena was again the place to be, as Together Los Angeles was back at the arena to host their second annual custom car show. The overall success of last year's custom car show at the Sports Arena showed both the city and local law enforcement officials that an event that primarily features Lowriders does not always have to end in some type of trouble. The city had no choice but to happily welcome the club, and the event back with open arms.
As the anticipation for the show grew, the internet buzzed with excitement in the months leading up to the start of the show. Those who attended last year's event could not wait for show day, and their enthusiasm was equally matched by those curious attendees who missed out on last year's inaugural show. Excited to once again shatter expectations and live up to the pre-show hype, Together did not disappoint. Participants from all over Southern California and the surrounding areas covered every square inch of the sports arena's grounds. A few clubs like Traffic, Bomb Club and Groupe brought out quite a few rides to represent their own respective styles. Groupe also chose this event to debut their newest chapter "Groupe Bombs." Notable Car Clubs Best of Friends, Old Memories, Our Style, UCE and Unidos also showed off their best vehicles at this amazing show. The vendors made sure to cater to all walks of life, selling a little something for everyone, while the deejays kept the crowds entertained throughout the day. If you missed the show this year, make sure you plan on attending next year's spectacular event, as this is definitely one show you do not want to miss. Congratulations to Together and the city of Pico Rivera for hosting another successful show, one that is sure to continue to be on our list of "must attend events".

Nationals vs. Giants: Adam LaRoche's home run leads Nationals to 4-2 win
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Washington Nationals know they have plenty of work to do to get back into the NL playoff race.
Adam LaRoche hit a two-run home run in the sixth inning to lift Washington to its fourth consecutive victory with a 4-2 win over the Giants.
Nationals starter Gio Gonzalez threw four shutout innings. San Francisco lefty Madison Bumgarner allowed just one run on an infield ground out in his four innings before the rain hit.
"Four wins in a row, that's pretty good," said Gonzalez, who pitched despite a sore back and said the injury will not affect his next start.
LaRoche sent a 1-0 fastball from Giants reliever Guillermo Moscoso (1-1) off the facing of the second deck above the Nationals bullpen in right field. That came after a leadoff single by Ian Desmond and broke a 1-1 tie.
Tanner Roark (2-0) earned the win with two innings of relief after the delay. Rafael Soriano got his 30th save of the season.
"Good little streak we're on," LaRoche said. "Better late than never. But we're still in a hole pretty good so we've got a lot of work to do."
That's because the winning streak has done little for Washington (58-60) in its pursuit of an NL wild-card berth.
It remains 8½ games out of the final playoff spot with just 44 games remaining after the Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 6-4 in 11 innings on Tuesday.
The Giants are struggling after winning their second World Series in three years last season. They are 7-15 over their past 22 games and at 52-66 in last place in the NL West.
"Same thing we've been talking about," San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. "We get our hits. We get them out there. We just can't get them in. Again, it came back to get us."
Even with the winning streak, frustrations have mounted for the Nationals in recent days.
Earlier in the 11-game homestand, outfielder Bryce Harper and manager Davey Johnson argued in the dugout late in an Aug. 7 loss to Atlanta.
In the first inning on Tuesday, Gonzalez was late covering first base on a fielders' choice ground out.
After the inning, television cameras caught Washington outfielder Jayson Werth and Gonzalez in a verbal altercation in the dugout. Gonzalez had to be screened by pitching coach Steve McCatty as Werth walked away.
"It stays between me and Werth," Gonzalez said.
Werth refused comment after the game.
"Just a little camaraderie going on," Johnson said. "Jayson sometimes can get a little vocal. He thought Gio was a little late covering first."
The Giants had evened the score after the rain delay ended because of a Desmond error at shortstop with runners at first and third in the fifth. Joaquin Arias scored that run.
San Francisco had scratched second baseman Marco Scutaro (stiff back), who was originally in the lineup. Arias replaced him and had three singles and a double for a career-high four hits and scored twice.
Desmond began the fourth with a double to right-center field. LaRoche followed with a single to right. Then Wilson Ramos hit a ball off Bumgarner's right knee. It deflected to third baseman Pablo Sandoval, who threw out Ramos as Desmond scored to put the Nationals up 1-0.
Gonzalez remained in the game despite the sore back, and kept San Francisco off the board. The Giants had runners at first and second in the fourth before Gonzalez struck out Brandon Crawford looking to end the threat.
That was the end of his night at 69 pitches. Thunderstorms moved in and halted the game at 8:28 p.m.
Kurt Suzuki added a run for Washington with a sacrifice fly in the eighth.
NOTES: Harper didn't start the game because he had the flu, according to Johnson, but made a pinch-hitting appearance in the eighth inning. . San Francisco CF Angel Pagan, on the DL since May 28 following surgery on his left hamstring, could start a rehab assignment at the end of this week, Bochy said. ... Nationals RHP Ross Ohlendorf, on the DL with a right arm injury, was expected to throw a bullpen session Tuesday and will make a rehab start on Aug. 15 or 16, according to Johnson. ... Washington LHP Ross Detwiler, on the DL since July 4 with a herniated disc in his back, won't resume baseball activities for at least another week, but is expected to return this season, Nationals GM Mike Rizzo said. ... San Francisco starts RHP Tim Lincecum (6-11, 4.18) on Wednesday in the second of a three-game series. He faces Washington RHP Jordan Zimmermann (13-6, 3.06).

If you've purchased alfalfa hay in California lately, you're probably suffering from sticker shock. Prices are running up to $350 per ton for high-quality alfalfa hay delivered in the Tulare County area. Fair-quality alfalfa has even skyrocketed to more than $200 per ton. These prices have some people questioning whether prices will keep climbing or if they've hit their peak.
Unfortunately, it's not just one factor playing into the high prices. There are a lot of things at play, says Dan Putnam, Cooperative Extension Forage Specialist at the University of California-Davis.
Water issues and uncertainties on water availability in the past couple years have caused some California farmers to switch from growing alfalfa to crops that require less water. Other crops, such as wheat, cotton or corn, have risen in price, making them more attractive to plant than alfalfa in the short-term.
California dairy farms are carrying lower hay inventories this season than normal. "For financial reasons, dairies just couldn't afford to fill their barns full of hay," notes Seth Hoyt, hay market analyst and author of the Hoyt Report. Now, dairies are running out of hay and scrambling to get it, keeping prices high.
Cool, wet weather this year has delayed the first alfalfa cutting, which has kept the market strong. "In some areas, we are a month behind normal," Putnam adds, citing freezes in the Imperial Valley and cold weather in the San Joaquin Valley.
Export markets have also taken a chunk out of the California hay supply. New markets in China and the United Arab Emirates have developed in the past few years and continue to increase hay consumption. The Imperial Valley now exports about one-third of the hay produced along with substantial amounts of hay from Nevada, Utah, Intermountain California, and the San Joaquin Valley. Hay exports have risen dramatically in the last year or two and will continue to remain attractive to alfalfa growers as the dairy industry's ability to pay remains questionable, notes Putnam.
All of these factors have resulted in record high prices for alfalfa.
But, it's still too early to panic over hay prices, agree Putnam and Hoyt. The first crop of alfalfa will soon come off the fields, after weather delays. "After the first harvest, we should see a little moderation of prices as hay supply increases," notes Putnam.
A poor outlook on milk prices, should also factor into future hay prices. "The May over-base price is in the $16.50 to $17 range; when dairy farms need $18 plus to break even – it doesn't work well," notes Hoyt.
"Unless something changes in the coming months, I think we've seen our high for alfalfa prices," says Hoyt. But, prices could go back up in late fall or winter if supplies are tight. Until prices drop, alfalfa hay will remain a painful purchase for dairy farms.

text: Small town, big hearts and results By Mitch Vingle March 7, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The glow on the faces of Shealyn Shafer, Mykenzie Martin and Makayla Willis were as bright as neon.It was sort of like the outline of a grizzly bear on Nicholas County's football scoreboard - a beacon for years to those traveling U.S. 19 through Summersville.The third-seeded Nicholas County Grizzlies moved to the Class AA girls state tournament semifinals via a 47-42 victory over North Marion Thursday morning.And here's the deal: That means something to Shafer, Martin and Willis. It means something to coach Tom McGirl. It means something to those in Summersville, which has a population of 3,572."They've called off school [today]," said Shafer, who had 16 points and 15 rebounds on Thursday. "That way the teachers and school can come and see us play."Sometimes the meaning of these state tournaments gets lost. West Virginia isn't exactly a breeding ground for major university sports programs. Too few people live here, and those that do are spread out.But a state tournament victory like that of Nicholas County - a first in school history - is noteworthy. It's a blip to most. It's a blimp to those in Summersville."Living in a small community, things like this are big," Shafer said. "It shows how together we are. Summersville is a great place to live. And our team is not just our team, but our town, our fans." Tiny Martin, listed at 5-foot, smiled."Our student body is really supportive of us," she chimed in.Many considered the win by Nicholas somewhat of an upset, even though the Grizzlies were seeded third and the Huskies sixth.Whatever the case, Nicholas has won at the girls state tournament. They've gone from Summersville's Broad Street to the state's version of Broadway. "The last time we were in the state tournament, Shealyn was in the first grade, Mykenzie hadn't started yet and Makayla was in preschool," said McGirl. "It's a big deal for our community. I'm just like the head cheerleader, really. Sometimes I'm jumping around and the officials think I'm jumping at them. I'm not, I promise."He paused."Well, maybe sometimes." It was a heartwarming sight. We get so used to the same teams winning year in and year out that it's refreshing to see a team like Nicholas County jump out of the water (Summersville Lake?) and take a bite.Nicholas County, by the way, has a population of 23,233. It has a relatively new, nice arena and convention center that seats 2,000 for a basketball game. And, yes, it's been known to lay the state's worst speed trap.On Thursday, though, the school's girls hoops team proved to be one of the Class AA's final four. It was time to celebrate.Next? Well, Bridgeport, which will be heavily favored. But don't tell 5-11 Shafer, a senior."With our hearts," she said, "we have a chance. Before each game in the huddle we say the difference between possible and impossible is determination. We're determined."It's something the hometown of 3,572 will be watching. It's something the town will be cheering. "We had a pep rally after our regionals," Shafer said. "But we've also had small things, like Facebook posts, text messages, things like that coming in. Little things like that are what keep us going."Like that neon grizzly bear to U.S. 19 motorists.Reach Mitch Vingle at 304-348-4827, firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/MitchVingle.

New 'Star Trek Into Darkness' Photos Show Kirk, Pike, Scotty, and Baddie John Harrison
Paramount's campaign for Star Trek Into Darkness isn't so much a trail of quadrotriticale bread crumbs as it is the PR equivalent of one of Khan's ear-crawling Ceti eels: relatively content-free slugs of information that nonetheless burrow their way into our brains and induce total Trek-related obsession. Just who is Benedict Cumberbatch's starfleet officer-turned-villain John Harrison? Why does he still wear the uniform yet wage war against everything it represents? Why does he seem to have superhuman powers yet can be contained in a transparent holding cell? And where in space is Peter Weller? Well, Paramount's not scratching our itch for more information, but they are adding to our heap of questions. They've just released 11 new photos from the movie (out May 13), most of which are just new angles on shots we've previously seen in the trailers. Let's take a closer look.
First, we've got a shot of Kirk (Chris Pine, really looking more and more like William Shatner) standing with Alice Eve's Carol Marcus. Now, J.J. Abrams has said that Star Trek Into Darkness is set just six months after the events of 2009's Star Trek. That film was set in 2258. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, the only other film featuring Carol Marcus, is set in 2282, when her son with Kirk, David, is about…24 years old! That means we can very much expect Marcus to be Kirk's romantic interest in the new movie. I'm still holding out hope, however, that Abrams will decree that the alterations to the timeline from his first film will mean that whiny David never exists.
That circular pattern to Kirk's right looks just like the giant circle (A window? The Guardian of Forever?) a hooded John Harrison takes a towering leap in front of in the first Star Trek Into Darkness trailer Paramount released..
We know from the IMAX preview that part of the movie's opening sequence shows Spock (Zachary Quinto) leading a rescue mission from inside a volcano. Very Revenge of the Sith-esque.
The thing that puzzled me from that first trailer was how Harrison made a towering leap that hinted at superhuman ability, yet he was still firing at his foes with a phaser. That would suggest that he's not imbued with godlike powers, even though we all know that developing godlike powers is a common hazard associated with being a Starfleet officer. So what explains the leap? Is he just genetically enhanced?
First of all, I love how similar these uniforms are to the ones Admiral Kirk and the Enterprise crew wear in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Second, we've got our first real glimpse of Bruce Greenwood's Christopher Pike! And he's not in a wheelchair! Clearly, Pike is still playing the role of mentor in the new movie.
Anyone else think these phasers are starting to look more and more like the phase pistols from Star Trek: Enterprise?
I suppose post-Bourne, it's de rigueur for characters in action movies to take a running leap through plate glass. I'm still inclined, though, to chalk this up to some superhuman ability John Harrison possesses that hasn't been revealed yet.
One of the few times in any of the clips from the movie we've seen so far where Kirk is actually wearing his mustard uniform, though I'm sad Shatner's original series velour has been replaced with some kind of vinyl mesh.
Going where Hannibal Lecter, Silva, and Loki have gone before him: inside a glass jail cell.
Why does a communications officer need to pack heat? I'm pretty sure that isn't a phaser she's clutching, though. Maybe a Klingon disruptor?
Maybe Scotty will explain to us in this movie why flip phones experience a mid-23rd century revival.

Stocks Stage Afternoon Recovery
Stocks were still losing ground on Monday afternoon, but had recovered from heavy losses in early trading.
At recent check, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 55 points, or 0.3%, while the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 were both off 0.6%.
While still firmly in the red, stocks have clawed back some gains from pre-market trading and a rapid selloff earlier this morning, when the Dow tumbled nearly 250 points and all three indexes had lost well over 1%.
Nonetheless, certain sectors are still taking a beating. Coal producers are under pressure ahead of potential new carbon emissions standards, while financials are still falling harder than the overall market.

Raw Milk Testing Rules Being Clarified in South Dakota
RAPID CITY – South Dakota's Agriculture Department is drafting new rules for the testing of raw milk.
The revised regulations will govern the testing of unpasteurized milk that farmer sell directly to consumers. Department policy director Courtney De La Rosa tells the Rapid City Journal that the goal is to make the rules easier to understand and more consistent.
De La Rose says the revisions that are part of Gov. Dennis Daugaard's Better Government Initiative will make testing "more user-friendly" for both farmers and consumers.
Advocates of unpasteurized milk met with state officials this week. Those advocates included the owners of a Belle Fourche area dairy that was shut down for five days last October after its milk tested positive for bacteria.
Any rule changes will require legislative approval.

Not even sure I'm in the right forum.
When I input any family name and 600 in the 3rd prompt, the second $500 prompt fails with the message "Please Input $500/ Family with 1 student". The user should be allowed to skip that field, but the code is halting me.
I'm ok if you tell me this is not a CSS error, I'll go hunt down a forms forum.
It's not CSS, it's the javascript validation i.e.
rules: {
financial_familyname: "required",
financial_familyone: "required",
financial_total: "required",
messages: {
financial_familyname: "Please enter Family name
",
financial_familyone: "Please Input $500/ Family with 1 student
",
financial_total: "Please Input Total
",
errorLabelContainer: "#jqueryerrors",
invalidHandler: function() {
As the validation code is now, that field is required so it can't be skipped
*thread moved to javascript jquery forum
OK, that makes sense, but when I remove the required=true, it still squaks. Why?
Hi there,
This probably isn't what you wanted to hear, but the markup on the page you link to is broken.There are stray tags, missing tags, inline CSS, JavaScript all over the place.You can see what I mean by running it through the W3 Validator: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fstjudeschool.org%2Finnerpage%2Fstatic%3Fstaticpage_id%3D97&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0It produces 134 errors and 82 warnings.
I would really advise you to address this issue.Do you have the ability to modify the HTML or is it output by some CMS over which you have no control?
Wow. What a piece of cr_p. I inherited it from a 3rd party developer overseas. No. thank you...I definitely appreciate your pointing this out.
Looks like I have a lot of work for myself, eh?
I have the html code within the content. I'll start fixing. Alas, I am not a javascript programmer.
No problem.I know it might sound weird, but I quite enjoy this sort of thing, so let me know if you need a hand with anything.
Once you have the HTML knocked into shape, it shouldn't be at all hard to sort out the JS validation.
@swmagic; kudos for having the right attitude. I've seen more than one thread here where the member does not want to fix the mark-up that the CSS and javascript are on top of. Kind of like saying "I want to fix my rickity house but not the crumbling foundation" or " I want my car to keep its great paint job but not remove the rust beneath it". Sometimes a quick "patch job" might seem like the way to go to some, but your willingness to do things right shows you are a Professional.
@Pullo; not so wierd unless that makes two of us.
Why thank you Pullo, what a nice thing to say.
OK, now that Christmas is behind me I'm able to spend some time on this.
The first message I noticed was the DOCTYPE error. I have one:
<title>Saint Jude School</title><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
But it comes up in red in Dreamweaver. Why is that? Is there something wrong with it?
The doctype declaation should be at the very top of your file, with nothing before it. The <title> element goes within the  section:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Title goes here</title>
No probs
Just to be clear, you should be running your site through the W3Validator to catch the errors.Dreamweaver is ok as editors go, but doesn't do too much to help you write valid markup.

Quick Fire Response Pays Off
Colorado Credits Early Alerts With Limiting Deaths From State's Worst-Ever Blaze
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—Though a wildfire in this state has claimed lives for a second straight year, Colorado leaders said emergency officials had made progress in alerting residents to flee fast-moving flames after evacuation procedures spurred heavy criticism last year.
This month's fire in Black Forest near Colorado Springs, which was 65% contained as of Sunday afternoon, is the most damaging in state history, burning more than 14,000 acres, destroying more than 480 homes and forcing some 38,000 people to evacuate.

But human casualties have been limited after officials persuaded more residents to register to receive emergency alerts via instant phone calls and text messages, and tried to educate them on what to do when they get such notices.
The two people who died, whose names haven't been released, appear to have been engulfed by flames last week after going home to retrieve possessions following an evacuation order, officials said.
Until this month's blaze, a fire in the Colorado Springs area last summer, in Waldo Canyon, had been the state's worse, with 347 homes destroyed and two people killed. An additional three people died in a separate fire near Denver last year, while one near Fort Collins killed one.
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, who toured scorched areas of Black Forest last week, said in an interview that this year's response was "an order of magnitude better" than last summer's.
The governor said that 24 hours after an evacuation was ordered for Waldo Canyon last year, a process that was criticized as chaotic, 50 to 60 people remained unaccounted for. With Black Forest, he said, only three or four people were unaccounted for after the first 24 hours. None were unaccounted for as of Sunday morning, El Paso County officials said.
Across the country, fire seasons are getting longer and more intense. According to the Bureau of Land Management, only one year in the 1960s saw wildfires across the U.S. burn more than five million acres. In the 1980s, it was two years. In the 2000s, it was eight years. In 2011, more than eight million acres burned, and in 2012 more than nine million.
Firefighters blame drought and a buildup of brush and other flammable material, and also say more people live in once-wild areas. Roughly one-third of the U.S.'s homes are in transition areas between cities and wild lands, according to a report this year by the U.S. Forest Service.
The added human presence in forested areas has increased pressure on emergency officials, who now must weigh how fast residents can flee, and how many are likely to heed orders when residents are asked to get out of harm's way, some experts said.
Authorities also must balance safety precautions with unnecessarily disrupting entire communities—decisions that have to be made with little time for deliberation. "We're talking about fires that are on the extremely dynamic scale, with very little lead time," said Thomas Cova, a University of Utah professor who studies evacuations. "You can make a lot of mistakes."
Waiting too long, he added, is a common error.
Tommy Smith, acting fire chief for Colorado Springs, the state's second-largest city with roughly 426,000 residents, said he wouldn't have ordered the evacuation of a neighborhood that appeared threatened by the Black Forest fire if not for the lessons learned last year.
"We're erring on the side of caution," he said. "Within a minute or two, things can change drastically…as we saw with Waldo Canyon."
Molly Mowery, an executive with the National Fire Protection Association who is based in the Colorado Springs area, said homeowners should now understand that they can't always wait for an evacuation order to get ready to leave. "If you can see the fire from your backyard, it's almost too late," she said.
That message is now clear to Ray Doble, who has a home on 5 acres in Black Forest. Before he and his wife had received evacuation orders, they had loaded their RV with 110 gallons of water and gathered financial documents and the computer on which they store family photos.
"We could see the fire. We could see the smoke," said Mr. Doble, who is retired from the Air Force. "We knew we had to get ready."
They were ready when they got the call to leave immediately—the alert arriving almost simultaneously to their cellphones, land line and email account.

I'm watching it recorded, and there's just under 3:00 left in the fourth right now. Seeing them come back (yes, I know they're going to lose anyways), I kind of get the feeling that when they turn up the intensity, they're going to be very tough. I don't think they are even fully dialed in now, so we'll see.
It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.
One more note: Bulls fans are the worst.
That stadium was absolutely dead for almost this entire game. No noise, no cheering, nothing. A couple of dunks got a mild round of applause.
Then when the game is over, all of a sudden, the "let's go bulls" chant starts? What a joke.
It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.
The Pacers need another PF who is mobile and aggressive. The Bulls forwards and center are all very mobile.
Hans and West are plodders. One would be ok and that would have to be West. The Pacers were killed on the offensive boards. It cost them the game. The Bulls were going regular season/playoff speed.
That is the one major deficiency of this team. Plodders at the PF except for Ian. What a player.
Encourage that they hung in and made it close in the end. Otherwise, I was very underwhelmed in the first major exposure for me this preseason - watching that is.
Liked what I saw from Mahinmi, Roy on offense (but thought he was weak on boards), Augustin on offense (but matador D will be the norm), West on offense only and only 2nd half.
Lance, Tyler, Paul, Danny, Green (except for a couple dunks) were disappointing. Also, surprised to see no Young. Is it a good sign or a bad sign he got no run at all?
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.
-Emiliano Zapata
Roy continues to look really good here in the pre-season. I remember when I used to dread his matchup with Noah, but he can pretty much manhandle him these days. He looks really, really good in the post, I think he'll be back in the ASG, especially if Danny is brought along a bit slowly as well as Hill I could see Roy putting up 15-17 ppg provided he play 31-32 mpg. We need to minimize Tyler Hansbroughs limits, and lean on Ian to be playing backup 4 and 5, on the floor with either Roy or David as much as possible. His mobility is a huge asset when paired with West especially, but I like the twin towers lineup too.
I didn't really take much from this game. The Bulls were clearly more amped up than we were, and we turned it over a ton, plus they rode their starters alot more. We played a bad game, but I never got that hopeless sense where you feel like you couldn't come back at any given time if we were really giving regular season effort.

Quinn mentioned a number of times that the Pacers didn't really bring the energy they needed to in this game. As the pre-season finale, that didn't really bother me. In the fourth quarter, they seemed to pick it up a little and made it a real game. Given full health and focus for a full game, and the Pacers are going to abuse a lot of teams.
It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.
The energy was low, but there were a few items that needs to be addressed. Fix these and the team is rolling.
1) Track your man, body up your man. West and Danny both kept letting their man drift too far away and often failed to stick a body on them when shots went up. That put back dunk over West was Danny's man curling from the wing for example. West could easily keep his man at bay if he'd just keep his hip on him.
And it hurts on defense too because they both put themselves in position where a teammate has to help or where they can recover. Maybe this was just pre-season effort, but it was a major reason for the early deficit.
2) Tyler can't get legit rebounds. He had position on Taj at one point and Taj just put a classic swim on him to go right to the rim. This was always the difference between how Blair rebounds vs Tyler. Tyler hustles and bangs around for sure, and that pays off at times. But in a straight up position and then hops for a challenged ball, Tyler isn't getting you enough rebounds.
3) Paul OVERPURSUES too much. Often he's recovering off a pick/screen or just trying to make a big play and gets himself past his man just enough to open up the back door, either on the dribble or to cut for a pass elsewhere. Even if it's not at the rim it often results in guys having to leave their man to help.
With Paul's length he should let that do his talking. He needs to keep between the rim and his man, and if that means the guy's getting the pass and taking a tough outside, moving shot then so bet it. That's low PCT and that's what they want.
But the good news is that Roy is a bad a**, period. Green looks great, terrific determination to win all battles (esp noticeable on defense where he hates losing). And Ian is just a freaking monster. DJ's poor defense isn't ideal, but it's understood that this is why he isn't a starter. Lance is a mess still IMO.
West and Paul found their game and stepped it up to match Chicago's energy and the team showed they can reel people back in.
Plus, Chicago hit some stupid shots in the first half, complete rainmaker high arc jobs that disappeared later as they got tired.
Not only do I think Green has a shot at 6th Man, but Mahinmi seems on target to get Most Improved. Seriously.
I can't believe that this is the first time you have noticed this and nope is not just on pre-season they do it all the time, specially West.1) Track your man, body up your man. West and Danny both kept letting their man drift too far away and often failed to stick a body on them when shots went up. That put back dunk over West was Danny's man curling from the wing for example. West could easily keep his man at bay if he'd just keep his hip on him.
And it hurts on defense too because they both put themselves in position where a teammate has to help or where they can recover. Maybe this was just pre-season effort, but it was a major reason for the early deficit.
I watched a lot of Ian in Dallas, but he's shown me about 10 things that I didn't know he could do in two preseason games. It makes me wonder what the hell Dallas was doing with him (so confusing because Dallas is well-coached and had trouble with interior bench scoring).
I'll say it again: Roy is the most impressive to me so far. He looks great; just way beyond any previous offseason growth. The only thing I wish he'd learn is how to draw fouls. He's good enough now for 6-8 FT attempts/game.

Water JugglingLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
Here's what you have:
-Two 8-liter jugs, filled with water
-One 3-liter jug, empty
-Four infinite size, empty pools
Here's what your objective is:
Fill each of the four pools with exactly 4 liters of water.
Here are your constraints:
-You have nothing else at your disposal.
-There is no other water aside from the two 8-liter water filled jugs.
-Once water is poured into any of the 4 pools it cannot be removed from there.
-The jugs are not symmetric so you cannot measure amount by eye or judge based on shape.
HintI am not sure how to help you :). I solved this in 24 steps (you may have more or less). It helps to label the jugs and pools, and then draw. Oh, main key, try to work backwards, from filled pools, and see what final steps are even possible.
AnswerIt's not short but it's right - use a piece of paper and follow the steps using A, B, C and pools. Change the quantities in each as you complete each step - it is worth it to see it come out right.
Lets label the jugs.
Jug A - first 8-liter
Jug B - second 8-liter
Jug C - 3-liter.
The four infinites are pool 1, pool 2, pool 3, and pool 4.
1. Jug A to Jug C
2. Jug C to pool 1
3. Jug A to Jug C
4. Jug A to pool 2
5. Jug C to Jug A
6. Jug B to Jug C
7. Jug C to Jug A
8. Jug B to Jug C
9. Jug C to Jug A
At this point, we have:
Jug A - 8
Jug B - 2
Jug C - 1
Pool 1 - 3
Pool 2 - 2
Pools 3&4 - empty
10. Jug C to pool 3
11. Jug B to Jug C
12. Jug A to Jug C
13. Jug C to Jug B
14. Jug A to Jug C
15. Jug C to Jug B
16. Jug A to Jug C
17. Jug A to pool 4
At this point, we have:
Jug A - 0
Jug B - 6
Jug C - 3
Pool 1 - 3
Pool 2 - 2
Pool 3 - 1
Pool 4 - 1.
18. Jug C to Jug B
19. Jug C to pool 1
20. Jug B to Jug C
21. Jug C to pool 3
22. Jug B to Jug C
23. Jug C to pool 4
24. Jug B to pool 2
... And we end up with the desired result:
Jug A - 0
Jug B - 0
Jug C - 0
Pool 1 - 4
Pool 2 - 4
Pool 3 - 4
Pool 4 - 4
Tough, but workable.

Expert Advice
HOW-TO: Hollywood Loves the Hot Retro Chic Hairstyle Trend
Retro chic hairstyles have been seen everywhere in Hollywood this year, and beauty pros in-the-know say they will be hot for celebs and salon clients alike in 2012. Styles like finger curls, seen on singer Natasha Bedingfield, are versatile enough to work on short or long hair, while victory rolls have often been seen worn with a punk-rock twist, like Rihanna's electric red hair color.
Salon owner/lead stylist Nicholas Penna, Jr. of SalonCapri in Newton and Dedham, Massachusetts (www.saloncapri.com) gives us the scoop about why these styles are making a comeback and how to give these looks a modern update for today.
MODERN: Why are these retro hairstyles making a comeback?
NICHOLAS PENNA: Like with all great trends, it seems that at one point or another, everything eventually comes back into style. Retro hairstyles evoke a sense of glamour and sophistication very different than the type of 'dos we see today. I think people are fascinated by the past (perfect example is the "Mad Men" style craze that we saw when the show launched) and they want to bring a piece of history back, in whatever form that they can. Hair is one of the easiest things to transition and because the styles that you create don't have to be permanent, it can be a great way to play with the past and bring to life iconic hairstyles.
MODERN: How do you put a modern twist on these styles?
NP: I think that hair is meant to be fun and that putting a modern twist on looks from the past is a great way to reinvent style history. For instance, we love the victory rolls, but it could be fun to incorporate them into a modern updo for a special occasion, instead of the conservative looks that were often associated with this style. I think for these retro looks to make a true comeback, people have to adapt them into today's style forecast.
MODERN: Do you see these retro styles being more formal or for everyday too?
NP: I think this depends on the person wearing the style. For many, rocking victory rolls or a beehive wouldn't be something that they'd wear for work or even out on Saturday night. I think for the majority of people, these looks are great options for a special occasion—think New Year's Eve, a birthday bash or gala—and an updated beehive would pair perfectly with a formal dress. I do think that of all the retro styles making a comeback, the pin curls would be the most wearable for every day. Pin curls work great with long hair, worn down and short hair pinned back.
Here are Penna's steps for his favorite retro chic hairstyles:
FINGER CURLS (worn by Natasha Bedingfield)
Glamorous and sexy, finger curls are making an appearance in both updos and romantic, loose looks this spring.
1. Begin look with a classic blow dry and apply shine serum to locks. Nick recommends L'Oréal Professionnel Expert Shine Perfection Anti-Frizz Serum.
2. Using a 1-inch curling iron, section off hair into 2-inch sections. Starting from the top of the head, clip hair in iron, hold down iron and release. Repeat until you reach the bottom of the hair.
3. Complete the same step through the hair until desired look is achieved.
4. Finish with light hold hairspray. Nick loves Shu Uemura's Sheer Lacquer.
VICTORY ROLLS (worn by Rihanna)
The ultimate retro chic look!
1. Begin the look by curling all of the hair with a 1- or 2-inch barrel curling iron.
2. Apply a texturing mousse or cream through hair. Nick recommends L'Oréal Texture Expert Mousse Volupte.
3. Piece off a section of hair near the front (make sure hair is parted in the middle).
4. Using hairspray and a comb, tease this section of hair to create extra volume and texture.
5. Taking one half of the section of hair in the front you've teased, start to roll it in toward the part (move from back to front) and pin.
6. Repeat on other side of hair.
7. Finish look with secure hold hairspray.

my $x = 'default';
sub xify_foo {
my $foo = shift;
$x = $foo->$x(@_)
In your example, xify_foo by itself has one free variable: $x. $foo isn't free in xify_foo: it's given by the caller. Hence, xify_foo only needs to close over $x. Technically (at least by my way of thinking when I wrote the journal entry), the xify_foo closure has all the memory space it needs: $x in the closure, and $foo on the stack. That is, of course, nit-picking.
This is the sort of thing I was handwaving about when I mentioned predicate logic. I suppose I should've gone into more detail.

HAVANA - Hundreds of South Floridians are in Cuba for Pope Benedict XVI's visit, and many of them attended a Mass in Havana on Tuesday led by Miami Archbishop Thomas Wenski.
The Archdiocese of Miami organized the pilgrimage to Cuba as a show of support for the church on the communist island. For the trip, the Archdiocese reached out to those who opposed Pope John Paul II's visit to the island 14 years ago.
NEW PHOTOS: Havana
BLOG: Inside Havana
"He is certainly trying to build on the legacy of John Paul II, which did bring about greater space for the church here in Cuba," Wenski said.
"The visit of the holy father is a moment of hope," said MIami businessman Carlos A. Saladrigas. "It's a moment of happiness. It's a moment of coming together as a nation with the things that bring us together, which is the faith and the belief in Our Lady of Charity."
Some South Floridians spoke to Local 10 about their trip.
"Certainly, it was sad to see the poverty out in the countryside, because we were able to do that," said Billie Jo Wanink, of Delray Beach. "It's wonderful to see the change here, Havana, obviously, a little more progressive."
"It's an exceptional opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," said Mary Quinn, of Fort Lauderdale. "I never thought that I would ever get to Cuba."
In Revolution Square on Tuesday, workers made the final touches ahead of the papal Mass scheduled for Wednesday morning.
Saladrigas said the moment will be historic.
"Like any event of importance, I think it's going to take time for the conclusions to settle and for us to understand what impact he has really had," Saladrigas said.

Roenicke still not worried about Segura
PHOENIX -- The Brewers may hold shortstop Jean Segura out of Cactus League games through Monday's off-day to allow his sore throwing shoulder time to heal, but he was well enough to take at-bats in a Minor League game Saturday.
"I'm not too concerned about the defensive part," Roenicke said. "I'm more concerned with the offense, him going into the season knowing that his timing is there and he feels good about the offense."
Segura did not play winter ball this year for the first time, so he felt rusty coming into camp. He asked for, and was granted, more playing time, but that led to soreness in his right shoulder that Roenicke does not consider serious.
Segura has not played an "A" game since Tuesday, but the shoulder does not bother him when he swings, so he has been able to continue batting practice during his layoff.
"The defense part, he's had enough games there," Roenicke said "If he sits a week, he should be able to come out and just 'pick it' right away. I don't think that should be an issue."

PETER Kildemand has his eyes set on a Grand Prix place in the future but believes the European Championship may be a better option for him at this moment in time.
The Dane has made rapid strides in his three years with the Robins, rising from a reserve at the start of 2012 to the number one position for the beginning of the new campaign, and will now ride in the Polish top division for the first time in 2014 after earning a deal at Czestochowa.
The next step for Kildemand is to make his mark on the individual circuit, having made the Grand Prix Challenge at Poole last season, but rather than following Robins captain Troy Batchelor into the GP series for next year the 24-year-old believes the newly-expanded European Championship may be a better option.
"It's good for the public around Swindon for us to have a GP racer and I think Troy will do really well," he said.
"It want to do the qualifiers and get all the way to the GP Challenge again like I did last year in Poole but I think the European thing could be really interesting for me.
"I need to start riding in these individual events and that's the next step for me to take. I seem to have a bit of stress when I ride in these individual rounds, like the Challenge. I struggle a bit because I seem to want to do it too much.
"Maybe if I could get in the European Championship that would be really good for me and then I will take it from there."
Kildemand started his season off well with an impressive performance at Lakeside on Friday night for a score of 13+1, and the Dane knows he needs to stay at his best all year round to keep Batchelor from stealing his number one race jacket.
"If I could keep the number one race jacket all year then that would be good because that would mean I am doing really well," he said.
"Troy is there and he will put some pressure on me so if I can stay at number one ahead of him it will be great.
"There are some young guys in the team too so for me it's really important I help them out and progress."

Baseball Therapy
The 2012 Silly Awards
Let's get a little silly. The Gold Gloves, Cy Youngs, MVPs, Managers of the Year, Hank Aaron Awards, and the Greg Spira Internet Baseball Awards (may Greg's memory remain eternally) have all been given out. It's time to appreciate the befuddling side of baseball. The awards that should be given out, but aren't.
Anyone can do something that makes you say "Wow!" It takes someone special to do something that makes you say "Why did you waste your time looking that up?" It's time for the 2012 Silly Awards, sponsored by Lobster Cola. (And if you get that reference, you win a billion points.)
Grounding Out for the Cycle
My mind wandered to ask a different question. There are plenty of batters who go 0-for-4. Did any of them ground out for the cycle? That is, hit a ground ball to the third baseman, shortstop, second baseman, and first baseman all in the same game.
Turns out that the answer is yes. Depending how you want to define things, eight players hit ground balls on which an out was recorded to each of the four infield positions during a game, although some of them were fielders' choices. Because it's my award, I'm going to eliminate those fielder's choices from consideration. We're left with three winners on this one.
On April 24th, Jeff Francouer of the Royals grounded out to Indians first baseman Casey Kotchman in the second inning, to third baseman Jack Hannahan in the fourth, to shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera in the fifth, and to second baseman Jason Kipnis in the eighth. For good measure, he grounded into a 5-4 fielder's choice in the 9th.
On July 29th against the Nationals, the Brewers' Cesar Izturis grounded out to first baseman Adam LaRoche in the first inning, sacrificed (5-4) to Ryan Zimmerman in the sixth, grounded out to second baseman Steve Lombardozzi, Jr. in the seventh, and completed the quadrifecta of shame by grounding out to shortstop Danny Espinosa.
Finally, on August 20th, Colorado Rockie Charlie Blackmon hit grounders to Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada (first inning), "second baseman" Daniel Murphy (third), third baseman David Wright (sixth), and first baseman Ike Davis (eighth).
None of these men had the foresight to do something cool like go left to right or right to left in their grounders. I demand more baseball until this happens!
Double Play of the Year
Third place: 7/19, Marlins at Cubs. The award for the most moving parts on a double play this year goes to the Miami Marlins of Florida, who recorded a 4-2-5-1-6-4 twin killing in the bottom of the fourth inning. With the Cubs' Reed Johnson on third and Anthony Rizzo facing now-former Marlin Mark Buehrle, the Marlins brought the infield in. Rizzo hit a ground ball directly at now-former Marlin Omar Infante who threw home to catcher and now-former Marlin John Buck, leaving Johnson hung up in a pickle. Buck threw to third baseman and now-former Marlin Hanley Ramirez who threw to Buehrle covering at home, who threw to... you guessed it... now-former Marlin Jose Reyes who applied the tag on Johnson. Rizzo, as often happens on these types of plays, tried to take second, but Reyes fired back to Infante at second to eliminate Rizzo. The play won the award for the most throws recorded in the service of a double play in 2012 (or as I like to think of it, the double play most resembling a phone number).
And oddly enough, four and a half months later, none of the five gentlemen involved plays for the Marlins. When I looked it up, the other players on the field at the time who didn't get in on the action were first baseman Carlos Lee (free agent), left fielder Austin Kearns (free agent), center fielder Emilio Bonafacio (traded), and right fielder Justin Ruggiano. Think of this as the play that broke up the Marlin dynasty.
Second place: 8/4, Rangers at Royals. The Royals managed to turn trash into treasure in the top of the third inning. With Josh Hamilton on second and Adrian Beltre on first, Nelson Cruz hit a chopper right at Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar, who forgot to catch the ball. After the ball clanged off his glove and ended up somewhere behind second base, Hamilton held at third. It's just that Beltre didn't get the memo until he was about halfway to third. Escobar had gone out to retrieve the ball and threw to second baseman Chris Getz, who tagged Beltre. Apparently figuring that since Beltre was a dead duck, Cruz decided that he would at least use the confusion to try for second. However, Getz's throw back to Escobar beat Cruz to the bag and the Royals had somehow pulled off an improbable E6, DP 6-4-6 to end the inning.
First place: 4/23, Braves at Dodgers. After Matt Kemp led off the bottom of the fifth with an infield single, Andre Ethier came to the plate to face Livan Hernandez. On the 1-1 pitch, Ethier blooped one over the infield and in front of left fielder Matt Diaz. Kemp had third easy, but decided that he was feeling frisky and tried to score. Diaz had already gotten the ball in to cutoff man Jack Wilson. Wilson saw Kemp charging home and threw to catcher Dave Ross, who tagged Kemp for the first out. Meanwhile, Ethier momentarily decided to try to take second on the throw home, then decided not to, then decided to try again, then realized that Ross was throwing down to Freddy Freeman and couldn't scramble back fast enough to become the back end of a 7-6-2-3 double play. Vin Scully told a story about how the Brooklyn Dodgers used to do things like that, because he's Vin Scully. In a year that had been so improbable, he wondered aloud how the Dodgers had somehow hit into a double play on consecutive singles.
More Double Play Awards
Minnesota turned five different double plays against the Royals on July 21st (Casilla-Dozier-Parmelee, Carroll-Casilla-Parmelee, Dozier-Casilla-Parmelee, Casilla-Dozier, and Parmelee-Dozier). The first three were standard ground ball DPs while the last two were line out/double off types.
The Rays also turned five different double plays against the Indians five days earlier (Rhymes-Pena-Johnson, Keppinger-Rhymes, Rhymes-Pena, Molina-Rhymes, and Johnson-Rhymes-Keppinger). Notable in that game was that Indians third baseman Jose Lopez managed to be the batter in three of them, each of a different type. In the third inning, he lined out to third baseman Jeff Keppinger who threw to second baseman Will Rhymes to double off Jason Kipnis. In the fifth, he hit a ground ball to Rhymes, who stepped on the bag to eliminate Michael Brantley and threw to Carlos Pena for the twin killing. In the seventh, Lopez struck out on a 2-2 pitch whilst Kipnis was caught stealing.
The careful reader might note that the record for double plays turned by one team in a 2012 game was actually six, turned by the Red Sox against the Orioles during their May 6th game (the one where Darnell McDonald and Chris Davis ended up pitching against each other). However, there were only four combos of players who participated. The Orioles actually hit into double plays in the 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th innings, but they can still take some comfort. First off, they won the game, but as a team they also double played for the cycle, hitting into a 3-6-3, 4-6-3, 6-4-3, and 5-4-3 all within the same game. How did the game end? With the Orioles getting revenge and turning a 6-4-3 twin killing hit into by losing pitcher Darnell McDonald.
The Groundhog Day Award
Oddly enough, over the rest of 2012, Andrelton Simmons had only two false starts. Who were the league leaders? In third place, Elvis Andrus had 18 false starts. In second place, Adam Jones did the groundhog dance 19 times. And in first place, with 21 times having to walk back to first, his valiant efforts wasted, was Mike Trout.
I rest my case.

Great article. By the way, I believe you are referring to Triple Play 99. I only know that because I googled "Lobster Cola", and the first link I got sent to was the Wikipedia page for that game.

Light heavyweights: Robert Drysdale (6-0) vs. Keith Berish (5-0)
LAS VEGAS >> Here's what you need to know about Alexis Dufresne.
Don't bad-mouth Ronda Rousey around her. Yes, she and Rousey have met, though it was brief and violent.
And don't tell the 23-year-old bantamweight what to do.
After just two years of MMA training, Dufresne will make her UFC debut against Sarah Moras on Sunday on the undercard of The Ultimate Fighter 19 Finale at Mandalay Bay Events Center.
The fight is taking place at a catchweight of 143 pounds, it was announced at Saturday's weigh-ins. According to a UFC source, Dufresne informed UFC officials Saturday morning she was unlikely to make weight, and she and Moras agreed on the catchweight. Dufresne stepped on the scales at 143, Moras at 139.
Dufresne is a five-time International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation world champion and four-time Pan-American champion.
But Dufresne didn't start training in jiu-jitsu until she was 18. Before that, she was racing dirt bikes, which oddly paid off when she first hit the gym.
"I think I was already athletic from that. I mean, it's kind of hard to be whipping a 300-pound bike around in the air and I was able to do it easily," Dufresne said. "So when I went into fighting. I had core strength already, which a lot of girls didn't have. So I think that helped a lot and only inspired me to keep training."
Shortly into her jiu-jitsu training, Dufresne went to a grappling tournament in San Diego at the behest of a coach from her former gym.
It was then that she and her white belt met Rousey, who was a year removed from her bronze-medal performance at the 2008 Olympics and a year away from her first amateur MMA bout.
"I never followed the sport, never did anything, so I had a big stupid grin on my face, walk to the middle, shake her hand. I got flipped on my ass quicker than I even saw coming and armbarred," Dufresne said with a laugh. "I was like 'WHOA! What just happened?'
"So honestly, when that happened, that was all I needed. I never want that to happen again in a tournament, but at the same time, that was bad ass. I just kept with jiu-jitsu over and over and over again and became a fan of her. If I did fight her, it'd be an honor, it wouldn't be a challenge, so it'd be cool."
The Rousey storyline doesn't end there. Dufresne's pro MMA career has been similar to the UFC champ's. She has won all five of her fights in the first round, including a 45-second ground-and-pound stoppage of Kim Couture in February.
Like Rousey, her stand-up has been the latest focus when training at Dan Henderson's Team Quest gym in Temecula with black belt Ricardo Feliciano.
"I submitted my first two fights quickly, then my teammates gave me a little bit of crap, telling me I was in a cage, not a mat," the Temecula resident said. "So I got my next two wins in TKOs, and now everybody's saying I'm a stand-up fighter and (Moras is) going to try to take me down. What she doesn't know is I'm a five-time world champion in jiu-jitsu. Have fun."
Today's fight on UFC Fight Pass should be fun considering Dufresne and Moras have been verbally sparring after the fight was announced two months ago.
Moras (3-1), who was on Miesha Tate's team and competed against Team Rousey on Season 18 of "The Ultimate Fighter," says Dufresne is trying to mimic Rousey and should take it up with Rousey.
"Why don't I call the champ out? Well, dummy, I'm calling you out because I'm fighting you. I'm not fighting the champ. I'm fighting you," Dufresne said. "I'm being me. If she doesn't like me, tough. I'm gonna be me. I'm a fan of Rousey. I'm just gonna say it. I like her attitude. She's an amazing grappler."
As for today's fight, Dufresne wishes it was already here. She likes to fight. She likes to punch people in the face. And she admits it's weird, but she likes being punched in the face.
In fact, she said she'll be disappointed if she gets another quick finish against Moras.
"Well, I know she was in 'The Ultimate Fighter,' and to her in her head, I think that makes her about 30 percent better. I'm not sure, but that's what it feels like," Dufresne said. "She says she's gonna be taking me down and submitting me in my fight, so good luck. And I can't wait to fight her."

Apple Tart Recipe
Serves -6
2 Cups Flour
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Sugar
1 1/2 Stick Butter (sliced)
1/2 Cup Cold Milk
1/2 Cup Grape Jelly
2 Tablespoon Calvados – rum or water
Place flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor tutted with the steel blade. Pulse for few seconds to combine. Add the butter and pulse 10 – 12 times, until the dough starts to come together. Dump onto floured surface and knead quickly into a ball. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet with parchment paper. Roll the dough slightly larger than 10 x 14 inches. Trim the edges. Place dough on sheet and refrigerate until apples are ready.
Peel, core and slice apples crosswise on 1/4 inch thick slices. Place overlapping slices if apples diagonal rows on both sides of the first row until the pastry is covered with apple slices. Don't use the ends of the apple to keep arrangement beautiful. Sprinkle with the full 1/2 cup of sugar and spring with butter.
Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, until golden brown and edges of apples start to brown. Rotate the pan once during cooking. When done, heat the jelly together with the Calvados and brush the apples and pastry completely with the mixture. Loosen with a metal spatula so it doesn't stick to the paper. Allow to cook and serve warm or room temperature.

Tesla's Model X Receives $40 Million in Advanced Sales Just One Day After Unveiling

Sender E-mail
Tesla Model X electric SUV crossover vehicle
It was also the third most searched term on Google
Just last week, Tesla Motors revealed
the all-electric Model X crossover
, which is the follow-up to its Model S. It has been less than a week since the EV's introduction, and it has already achieved star status with car lovers everywhere.
According to
The Detroit News
, Tesla received $40 million in pre-sales of the all-electric Model X just one day after unveiling the car. It was also the third most searched term on Google.
"On Thursday evening, the night of the reveal, traffic to teslamotors.com increased 2,800 percent," said Tesla. "Two-thirds of all visitors were new to the website."
The all-electric Model X was introduced for the first time on February 9. The new EV features dual motor all wheel drive, the choice between a 60 or 85 kWh battery, and falcon doors. The Model X can sprint from 0 to 60 in about 4.4 seconds, and offers a rear-mounted 300 HP motor and an optional 150 HP front-mounted motor. The driving range is between 214 and 267 miles.
Price hasn't been announced for the Model X yet, but Tesla said it will be competitively priced with other premium SUVs.
While the Model X has been receiving plenty of attention, it's not the only one. The
Model S
, which is Tesla's full-sized battery electric sedan that is expected to be delivered in mid 2012, had a 30 percent boost in reservations last week after the Model X was revealed.
Tesla initially entered the electric vehicle arena with
the Roadster
, which is a $100,000 two-seater that launched in 2008. The Model S is Tesla's second electric vehicle, which features a 40 kWh lithium-ion battery pack (or 85 kWh battery pack in the top-end model), 160-mile range (300 miles on the top-end model), and a $57,400 to $87,400 price tag.
Model X production will begin at the end of 2013, with market launch scheduled for 2014. It is expected to qualify for the $7,500 tax credit, and Tesla hopes to produce 10,000 to 15,000 units annually.

Hi guys just pulled my tricep really bad today during a round, any advice on whats the best way to attend to it and how to prevent this injury further.

BrohanSolo wrote:Don't just keep it in one place, that will cause atrophy and that is what leads to the formation of scar tissue. Do dynamic movements that mimic your throw, just not 100% power/speed. If you just avoid moving your muscles will forget how to throw, and you'll find that building back up to previous distances will be a lot harder and take a lot longer.
*FYI, tricep (all three heads) are the longest when your arm is completely flexed.

Episode 24
In this weeks episode:
In this programme we feature a really useful guide to catching a flight, provide useful tips on reading timetables, and give help on improving your memory when it comes to learning.
The episode also includes a studio interview with singer/songwriter, Christie Hennessy, and Liz O'Donoghue, an adult literacy student from Limerick who went back to learning in 2005.
Christie, who left school at 11 and has never properly learned how to read and write, talks about how he creates songs by recording everything he plays and piecing together the sections that work. He also talks about being a Messenger Boy when he left school and how he had to remember all the addresses and names on the parcels because he couldn't read them.
Liz talks about how doing the Return to Education course and how it has boosted her confidence. She mentions the rivalry she had with her son last year when they were both doing their Junior Cert, and how she and her two children will sit down and do their homework together. She's planning on going to CCL College in Limerick in September to study a Childcare Course, which is something she could only dream about 2 years ago.
