Wounded warriors from across the United States will be recognized for their service at La Vista Memorial Park's eighth annual Memorial Day celebration.
Luisa McCarthy, general manager of La Vista Memorial Park, said honoring the nation's injured soldiers is about thanking those who sacrificed everything for America's freedom.
"They are true hero survivors," she said. "I've never served, so this is my way of saying thank you."
McCarthy said the event is not just a celebration but also an educational experience for the community to understand the veterans of war.
"They will be a visual remembrance of what war does," she said. "But yet they're there with pride and happiness and still standing strong."
McCarthy said about five to 10 wounded veterans are scheduled to be present for the ceremony.
While the ceremony will be honoring wounded warriors, Pearl Harbor survivors will be on hand continuing the tradition of the two-bell ceremony. She said this is an emotional tradition because there aren't many Pearl Harbor survivors left.
Honoring America's veterans doesn't begin with the ceremony. In fact, La Vista has a Civil War monument highlighting those who served in the Grand Army of the Republic.
McCarthy also said there are thousands of soldiers buried at La Vista.
Traditionally, La Vista Memorial Park is a cemetery, but National City Mayor Ron Morrison said the Memorial Day celebration along with the park's Dia de los Muertos event debunks any myths that a cemetery is a spooky place.
"It is a highly unusual event in that they take a cemetery and turn that ceremony into a huge family picnic," Morrison said.
McCarthy said the event has grown to be a fixture in the National City community.
When the event first started eight years ago about 40 people including staff where in attendance. Last year, when the memorial park honored America's women veterans, about 400 to 500 people showed up.
McCarthy said this event brings unity in the community.
"It definitely gives us an opportunity for the community to gather together and remember such an important day," McCarthy said.
There will be food, beverages and entertainment, as well as a mini-zoo and pony rides for the kids.
The free Memorial Day celebration takes place from 1 to 3 p.m. on Monday, May 26.
La Vista Memorial Park is at 3191 Orange St. in National City.

Hello everyone,
Regarding the IW3714...from your new purchase how long have you gone before needing your first servicing? Have any of you had your watch for >5 years without overhauling the movement? Have you worn your watch almost continuously?
I'm trying to determine how long the movement lasts while wearing a watch as a daily beater.
I wonder because the warranty is 2 years and, provided nothing else goes wrong, most movements work fine beyond the first two years.
rchan821 Wrote:Thanks for the response. But I was just curious for those circumstances where the normal routine isn't followed (not my intent!)
I have heard of those who haven't service any of their watches for about 10 years.
My father has two Rolexes (not sure what kind since I'm not a Rolex fan) that haven't been serviced in about 20 years! Granted he wears them sparingly but they still running smooth.
Best regards

However, if the watch was worn sparingly and the movement stops on it's own or is hacked, then it's ok to service it in longer intervals?
Also, how long does it take for the watch to be serviced? I hear of stories where owners were without their watches for several months due to the many processes involved. Is this the norm?

Don't look for Russell Brand to be one of those guys trash talking his ex ... at least not publicly! In an interview on Ellen that airs today, he has nothing but kind words about his soon-to-be ex-wife, Katy Perry.
"I still love her as a human being," Brand, 36, tells the talk show host on Thursday's show. "But, sometimes when you're in a relationship I suppose it doesn't work out, does it? But that doesn't mean I regret it or anything."
Brand says he was "very happy to be married" to the "California Gurls" singer, who he wed in October 2010 and then filed for divorce from in December 2011. He calls her "a beautiful human being" and noted: "I just have only love and positivity for her."
So what went wrong? Apparently they just weren't the right fit. "You can't absolutely make everything the way you want it to be in life," Brand says. "Sometimes things are just different and then you just move with that and try and remain in contact with what is beautiful about yourself and each other with any situation."
Both Brand and Perry seem to have moved on from their brief union, which was settled amicably earlier this year and will be finalized on July 14. (She asked the court to restore her maiden name: Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson.) While he has been linked to various models, most recently David Hasselhoff ex Anouska De Georgiou, she spent a loved up weekend with Florence + The Machine guitarist Robert Ackroyd at the Coachella Music Festival.
Perry will have her say about the end of their marriage in her upcoming movie Katy Perry: Part of Me 3D. The trailer for the documentary includes mention of the split. As a voiceover says, "We have some not-so-happy news: the divorce of Katy Perry. What happened there?" there is footage of the singer hunched over in her dressing room. The movie hits theaters on July 5.

Two years since they released their self-titled debut EP, Auckland's grotty metal and hardcore sons Snakes of Iron return with their new digital EP, Scavengers. Somewhat of a supergroup (but let's be honest, they'd hate the moniker) the band is comprised of former members of The Have, False Start, Los Muertos and Cold By Winter. If you're familiar with any of those outfits, then you'll have a good idea of what to expect here—intensity by the bucket load.
Snake of Iron have all the emotional weight and raw honestly of the members' aforementioned premier-league outfits, but their mix of rolling, distorted riffs, quickening percussion and expressive vocals is of their own making. With a sonic link to acts such as Cancer Bats, Cobra Khan and Poison the Well, the band certainly dwell in the scrappy, low-end dirty riff realm, but there's also a soulfulness and almost Kyuss-like stoner pulse to be found in the EP's more expansive sections.
"Monster Eyes" bursts out of the gate, all grinding bass, amp-fusing riffs and spitting vocals—storming forth with a distinctly gutter-punk disposition, and a genuine Johnny Rotten inflection right there at the start. "Make it Your Own" brings in those previously mentioned dustier grooves, splicing some stoner/sludge-worthy echoing vocals into the song early, only for them to be resoundingly stomped upon when the walls of noisome riffs arrive to transform the number into a barnstormer.
"Dead Cities" and "A Pocket Full" settle the rate of knots, somewhat. The former, while still infused with a heaving momentum, is the EPs very own veritable anthem, whilst the latter traipses its way through a mix of post-punk flecked riffs and stirring bridges to its more melodic chorus—with a throat-scouring howl two minutes in that is just flat-out brilliant.
"Safety In Numbness" closes the EP with a bellicose churn through a raft of heavier genres. Metalcore screams and sludgy riffs collide with angular hardcore chords and harmonic, evocative vocals before the song simply explodes in its final third. Breathtaking stuff, and a rousing note to end Scavengers on.
Snakes Of Iron's new EP is a huge success all round. Blending a range of metallic genres there's a similar temperament to Cobra Khan's last LP—that same sense of adventurism, backed by the unmistakable crunch of modern metal and hardcore. But there's also something else here too, something that'll ensure Snakes Of Iron retain their distinctive voice (should they choose to continue on the same sonic path). There's a sense of innovativeness in the band's coalescing of disparate styles of heavy rock, and while snippets of stoner rock are found more in the vocal cadence than the actual riffs as such, it's that touch of difference that gives the EP its distinctive character.
So, that's two EPs done, on with the full-length then. It'll be fascinating to see what the band can do with a bit more room to breathe.

*Consumer Comment: Don't Believe Negative Comments!
we were told that no charge would be taken until the lense was shipped.
We altered out order to the ``digital`` version of the same lense for 490 dollars more, and i called cannon to confirm the new cannon lense would indeed work perfectly with my brothers cannon camera.
Cannon told me they do not make lenses that would not work with their own cameras as long as the body size was correct.
i called to tell Closeout that my initial order was indeed correct and i didnt need a `steel connected`lense for digital.
a week later i called to follow up on my order and was told it was cancelled due to it being backordered. It is now too late for me to go elsewhere for the lense before we leave.
On top of all that the refund we were given was over 100 dollars short of the initial charge, which never should have been taken at all.

My name is Ed Snowden from Bakersfield Ca. My email is email@example.com and my web site is www.xoxphotography.com .
Price: 5 Stars , Knowledge: 5 Stars, Equipment: 5 Stars, Communication: 5 Stars
I wasn't asked to give a review, but there are 2 reasons I take the time to provide one, 1st is if the product or service is really bad and 2nd if the product or service is really outstanding. If it's in the middle ground I won't waste my time. In the case of this review regarding Closeout Digital, it's OUTSTANDING!, I researched several online camera shops for several months. I narrowed it down to Closeout Digital and BandH Photo. Both have quality equipment and fairly competitive pricing with each other, but Closeout Digital overall saved me more money for the camera package I needed.
My budget for camera and equipment was $6500.00. I knew I would be buying online, so I knew the business better have a solid back ground. They needed to have top quality products, be easy to get a hold of, knowledgeable, and have a prompt reply. I was disappointed with BandH Photo for a few reasons; specifically I didn't feel like they were really trying to help me with what equipment was best for my level of photography. Additionally I didn't feel that BandH Photo's knowledge (or lack of knowledge) of their equipment helped matters. Like I said, I researched the types of equipment I wanted for several months and made many calls to BandH Photo, yet several times I received conflicting information. When I asked about certain lenses and flashes, the BandH sales rep needed ME to tell him about the item and that's not where I wanted to spend $6500. Lastly, when I called BandH it seemed impossible to get the same sales rep twice in a row. Some were very nice, while others seemed to be hurried and not caring, almost a Big Box Store call center type attitude. The times that I called Closeout Digital I spoke to the same two individuals, with one even remembering my name from just knowing my voice. It was like two buddies just bs'n about camera equipment, absolutely no "Sales Pitch", 100% knowledge.
This is Closeout Digital's # 1-408-409-7801, if you dial ext. 100, Ben will answer. PERIOD! He is extremely knowledgeable about the equipment, not on commission (something one of the BandH reps wouldn't tell me about their sales staff), and I truly felt that he was trying to help me get the most for my purchase. My order arrived ahead of schedule. There were two minor items that had to be backordered but Ben knew that I had an Advance Photography class coming up next week so he sent me the camera and everything I needed to make sure I showed up to class well equipped, with the remaining two items to be delivered any day now. I couldn't be happier. He even gave me a small tripod for my old camera, thanks Ben.

Chennai, Feb 12 (IANS) Actor Venkatesh is likely to star in the yet-untitled Telugu remake of Malayalam film "Two Countries", a source said.
Over the years, Venkatesh has starred in several remakes such as "Gharshana", "Masala", "Gopala Gopala" and "Drushyam".
"The Telugu remake rights have been acquired by producer Bandla Ganesh. The makers are keen to rope in Venkatesh and have already initiated talks with him," a source close to the producer told IANS.
Released last year, "Two Countries", about a man with immigration issues, turned out to be a blockbuster.
Directed by Shafi, the original featured Dileep and Mamta Mohandas in the lead roles.
Venkatesh is currently shooting for Telugu project "Babu Bangaram".

The world's biggest watch group Swatch today posted a 2013 net profit rise of more than 20%, beating market expectations and hailing a promising start to the new year.
Times look good for the company despite changes in the climate for luxury watch sales in the important Chinese market, it said.
The Swiss watchmaker posted a net profit of 1.9 billion Swiss francs (€1.5 billion) last year, it said in a statement.
Its operating profit soared 17% from the 2012 level to 2.3 billion francs, while its operating margin rose to 27.4% from 25.4% a year earlier.
The company attributed that increase to winning legal action late last year in the Netherlands against US jewellery group Tiffany & Co over a failed venture jointly to design and market luxury watches.
Today's results were well above the expectations of analysts polled by financial news wire AWP, who had anticipated a net profit of 1.7 billions Swiss francs and an operating profit of 2 billion.
Swatch, most known for its brightly coloured plastic-cased watches, had already said in early January that its 2013 sales jumped 8.3% to 8.8 billions Swiss francs.
The watchmaker, which is also the leader in watch component production, said it had injected nearly 700 million francs into machinery, production infrastructure and sales outlets last year. Despite these investments, the group said it held 1.8 billion francs in disposable cash at the end of January.
That was about the same level as last year before it snapped up US jeweller and watchmaker Harry Winston and Dubai-based Rivoli Investment, a company with a distribution network of more than 360 retail stores in the Middle East.
Swatch also painted a rosy picture for the year ahead, pointing out that its watch and jewellery sales had been on an upward trend during the first month of 2014.
"All brands had an auspicious start," it said, stressing that "continued healthy growth is expected in 2014.
"Swatch Group is in an excellent position for both the future and for long-term growth," it said.
China's rising appetite for luxury goods had been a boon for the Swiss watch industry, but there sales growth fell sharply there last year due in part to a Chinese government crackdown on corruption in the form of extravagant gifts.
But while the most expensive segments have felt the sting, Swatch's broad range has allowed it to weather the storm well.
The group operates in every price range, from the Flik Flak watches for children to prestigious timepieces under for instance the Breguet brand that can cost over $1m a piece.

Adi scored twice in the space of six minutes deep into the second half as the Timbers emerged triumphant over a Chivas side who finished with 10 men in front of just 3,702 spectators at StubHub Center in California.
Back-to-back wins for Portland extended their unbeaten streak to six games and saw them climb up to sixth in the Western Conference, 10 points adrift of leaders the Seattle Sounders, while Chivas remain at the foot of the table.
Having come from behind to beat New York Red Bulls last week, the Timbers were understandably confident, though they were up against a Chivas team who had collected four points from six games.
Chances were few and far between during the opening 45 minutes, however, with both teams struggling to create any clear-cut opportunities.
Chivas had the best chance of the half but Eric Avila sent his 35th-minute shot over the bar from close range.
After a goalless first half, the Timbers finally made the breakthrough courtesy of Adi in the 65th minute.
The Nigerian striker, on loan from Danish club Copenhagen, found himself unmarked in the penalty area before latching on to Jorge Villafana's cross for his first goal in Portland colours.
Adi added to his tally six minutes later, when he rounded Chivas goalkeeper Dan Kennedy.
Chivas' woes were compounded six minutes from time after defender Bobby Burling saw red for a late challenge on Adi.

The University of Georgia could get $11.4 million for its Plant Sciences Farm on Snows Mill Road in Oconee County.
Oconee County's Townley Family Partnership was the highest bidder for the 522-acre farm. The partnership's nearly $22,000 per acre offer easily topped the only other bid of $522,000, or $1,000 per acre, by Monday's bid deadline.
Scott Angle, dean of UGA's College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, said the college is selling the land because it needs money to pay for improvements and repairs at other farms and educational buildings in Athens and around the state.
University officials won't decide until the end of July whether to take the bid or hold on to the farm, said J. Dorsey, UGA's director of real estate and space management.
The University System Board of Regents would have to approve the sale, if UGA decides to sell, and Aug. 1 is the deadline to get the proposed sale on the agenda for the regents' September meeting, Dorsey said.
Even if UGA decides to take the Townley bid, the university won't turn the land over right away. UGA told prospective bidders it plans to hold on to the land for three more years while scientists wrap up ongoing research projects.
The $11.4 million offer for the farmland is more than a recent appraisal of the property but less than the land was appraised at in 2007, before a recession set in and real estate prices plummeted, Dorsey said.
Tony Townley, a co-founder of the Zaxby's fast-food chicken restaurant chain, was listed as the contact person for the partnership. Townley, an Oconee County resident, and other family members own hundreds of acres of land adjacent to or near the UGA farm, which faces North Oconee High School across Georgia Highway 53.
The university rarely sells any of the land it owns, or more precisely, that the regents own.
About five years ago, UGA sold about 100 acres in Attapulgus, part of a farm that had been cut off from the rest by a new highway.
But the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences badly needs funds for repairs and improvements on other research farms and educational buildings the college manages across the state.
The agriculture college manages about 18,700 acres and 1,835 buildings across Georgia, said Robert Shulstad, the college's associate dean for research.
In the last few years, state lawmakers have provided some money for maintenance and operations on those properties, but not enough, Shulstad said.
The college needs about $20 million just for immediate maintenance and repair for UGA's agriculture research and research and education centers, Shulstad said.
"There's a long list of deficiencies," he said.
And beyond those immediate needs, the college also has buildings that need multi-million-dollar renovations, he said.
"We've totally shut down two of our research buildings in Tifton," Shulstad said.

no one really knows how to get a state to start recognizing and addressing the core needs of its population. This outcome seems more likely to happen in countries where a parliamentary system diffuses power, where built-in institutions oversee public policies, and where a strong civil society keeps the state in check. But the recent history of the developing world suggests that these features are not easily obtainable.
…Outside donors have tried to help such fragile states by lavishing them with foreign aid, but as admirable as the intention behind such largess may be, it often ends up entrenching governments that do little to promote development. And when outsiders try to use their leverage to spur political reform, it raises many difficult questions; for one, the legacy of colonialism
…The alternative is to give up on existing state structures. For example, multilateral donors and aid agencies could try to build independent agencies to deliver public services in the developing world, institutions that would operate on a larger scale than NGOs currently do and adopt the mantra of evidence-based policymaking. But if states are to remain legitimate in the eyes of their populations, then such agencies will eventually have to be absorbed by the government. Or perhaps they could remain quasi-independent and democratically governed, the way that school boards and hospital trusts are.
…None of these lessons suggests that there is much low-hanging fruit to be had when it comes to eradicating poverty. Still, economists need to at least try to understand what goes into making states better at fostering development.
Tim Besley in Foreign Affairs reviewing the three micro-revolutionary books in development: Poor Economics, More Than Good Intentions, and Portfolios of the Poor.
I am a fan of all three books (and teach them) but Tim outlines the fundamental limit on all the randomized control trials in the world: the main constraint on good policy is not that policymakers don't know what to do with public money.
If you don't actually have a national system with the incentives and accountability to execute good policy, information on better policy is not going to make things right.
And even though I wear the hat of both randomista and political scientist, the last thing I believe is that we can understand how big institutions work through the randomized trial. Too big. Too adaptive. Too heterogeneous.
Tim's book is here. To be reviewed, when I have the time to finish it. So far it's very good.
A caveat: One mustn't only let political economy back in at the macro level. For a nice micro example, everyone in development should read the famous Anti-Politics Machine.

Marketing Executive Develops Practical, Fun Travel Accessory to Help Travelers Identify Their Luggage
Colorful and sassy messages make these new peel-and-stick luggage labels a must for travelers who want to avoid the pitfalls of lost and stolen luggage during holiday travel
October 15, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Exim Multiproducts, Inc. announces the introduction of BAGPATCH colorful, durable, peel-and-stick woven labels for luggage to help travelers of all ages locate their bags fast - and prevent someone else from taking them.
BAGPATCH fabric labels come in a wide variety of vibrant colors and fun sayings that make them more than practical travel gadgets. They make a statement about the people who own the bags. Travelers can spot their luggage easily from a sea of look-alikes eliminating mix-ups when arriving at their destination. Currently BAGPATCH labels are available for purchase in Amazon.
The BAGPATCH brand has been developed and brought to market by veteran corporate marketing communications professional, Brenda Noah-Navarro. "I have traveled significantly all over the world. Like many travelers, I've lost my bags or had people mistake my bags for theirs. Even if taken by mistake, retrieving lost bags is a real hassle. BAGPATCH is my solution for this very real problem," says Noah-Navarro.
Ms. Noah-Navarro, a marketer who studies travel demographics, has seen a rise in multi-generation travel. As she notes, "Despite the economy, more family groups are carrying more bags, resulting in a greater need to keep track of everyone's possessions. This low-cost solution is catching on quickly with the traveling public."
BAGPATCH personalized luggage tags are being marketed to retail business and to corporations as advertising specialty and promotional products. These travel accessories are available to resellers, retail distributors, promotional products firms and travel related businesses interested in private-label products. Travel gadget wholesalers are also being invited be part of this new profitable opportunity.

Hitting the trifecta in recruiting and landing those prospects can lead to a national championship run. It is also near impossible to do.
According to coaches looking to build programs, two issues complicate recruiting at those positions: first, the amount of competition to lure those players, and second, the difficulty in evaluating those positions at the high school level.
The position that confounds more than others is quarterback.
San Jose State coach Ron Caragher played the position in high school at San Jose (Calif.) Bellarmine Prep before earning a scholarship and backing up Troy Aikman at UCLA.
He did not like what he saw last season and of the 19 prospects San Jose State signed in the Class of 2013, the Spartans did not take a quarterback. Caragher instead opted to sign 13 players on the offensive and defensive lines and add skill players on offense.
As well as he knows the position, he said that experience in certain situations is the only way to see if a player can handle the demands of leading a program.
"I have seen guys with great numbers in high school and when you put in his highlight tape you are totally awed by the touchdown passes, but you still don't know anything about their makeup," Caragher said. "First, you don't know the competition level and that is important. You also don't know if his team is dominant and always in the lead, so he is throwing with no pressure. The intangibles of leadership are impossible to evaluate. You can't see how a guy handles pressure and you can't see how he will play when the chips are down."
Offensive skill positions were noted as the least difficult to judge when compared to quarterback, cornerback and offensive linemen.
Cal coach Sonny Dykes said game film gives you a clear picture of running backs and wide receivers.
"What a kid can or cannot do with the ball is obvious," Dykes said. "If a guy can catch the ball, break tackles, block, finish runs or make six people miss translates. Some things -- like route-running -- can be coached, but most of the other things are black or white."
Rivals.com national analyst Mike Farrell said that game film of running backs contains specific evaluation points.
"You look for tempered aggression," Farrell said. "In running backs, you want to see guys that can hit the hole hard as well as have the vision to see when there is a chance to pop it outside instead of always looking to go outside. Once they are outside, you can see if they are getting caught from behind or have the acceleration to finish the run."
The evolution of the receiver position has made for a buffet of options.
Temple head coach Matt Rhule said that while it can make for tough choices, having them is better than not.
"Receivers come in all shapes and sizes now," he said. "It doesn't matter if kids are 5-foot-6 or 6-foot-6, they can play the position.
"What you look for is that one skill that can be a game-changer. Some guys are big and physical, which make them red zone threats. Shifty slot guys are smaller but need toughness, speed and route-running, while the prototypes are still out there that can be a threat from anywhere.
"The position has become so flexible that finding kids with an added dimension is the key."
According to Farrell there is one more important factor that differentiates offensive skill players from others: attitude.
"I think those positions are less mental and more reactive and instinctual," he said. "You don't have the same worry about things that are impossible to identify. Skill guys tend to not be too worried about pressure situations because they usually want the spotlight."
Rivals.com national recruiting analyst Mike Farrell said that quarterback is the most difficult position for him to evaluate and for many of the same reasons.
As one of the longest tenured analysts in the recruiting industry, Farrell said that his line of failures at the position is now what he uses to make him better -- but that quarterbacks can still confound even the closest scrutiny.
"There is no way to eliminate error that I have found," Farrell said. "Kids can look physically gifted and make every throw you would ever ask of them but once Jadeveon Clowney is bearing down on him, everything can go wrong. There is nothing I have found on film or at a camp that tells me when a team is down four and need to drive for a winning score with 100,000 people screaming, what anyone will do.
"I have never seen an incomplete pass on a highlight tape and even the best players in camps may not pan out. Just like everyone else, I thought (former five-star from Austin (Texas) Lake Travis) Garrett Gilbert was going to be very good and I thought that (former five-star from Pittsburgh (Pa.) Penn Hills) Anthony Morelli was the best 7-on-7 quarterback I have ever seen. What goes on mentally and emotionally with quarterbacks is just impossible to project."
Farrell said viewing full-game video for quarterbacks can help show a little about more about how a player will handle adversity, but the level of competition from high school to college will likely increase negative responses.
He added that players in the defensive backfield are just behind quarterbacks in finding ways to evaluate them.
That difficulty was not lost on new California head coach Sonny Dykes.
Dykes is one of the best offensive minds in the country and this past season while at Louisiana Tech, the program finished No. 1 in the country in total offense. A branch of the Mike Leach coaching tree, Dykes finds weaknesses in the secondary to exploit every Saturday, but admitted his own shortcomings in finding players at the position.
The recently signed recruiting class produced just three defensive backs out of 26 prospects signed.
"If you watch film on a cornerback -- and he is really good -- the tape may be really short so you don't have a good sample size to see his technique and other things," Dykes said. "On the other side of that if he is making a lot of plays, that means he is getting thrown at a lot. Either way you still have questions."
Farrell added that game tape and traveling to see players in person may still be prove to be an exercise in futility.
"I have flown to watch a kid play and he didn't get a ball thrown his way all night just because of the hype he had. That really stinks because you can't see so many things you want to with a corner," he said. "I have watched videos and even when a player gets beat it isn't always his fault, because not everything is a man situation. He could have been expecting help that never came.
"On film, I think cornerback is toughest to judge because there could be nothing to see."
First-year Colorado head coach Mike MacIntyre said that because of how he manages his roster, offensive linemen have proven to be most difficult to unearth.
"Most of the guys I recruit there will come in and redshirt," MacIntyre said. "It is in that year that you really see what you've got.
"You get to see if they have innate toughness and drive to compete; you see if they can fight through the adversity of preparing, but not playing. You also will see if they can control their weight and if they can maintain good habits. It is hard to tell any of those things from film or from recruiting."
MacIntyre was hired at Colorado on Dec. 10 with the goal of rebuilding a program which had dropped from five victories in 2010 to one in 2012. He came to the school from San Jose State, where he elevated the football team from two wins in 2009 to the No. 24 ranking in the final BCS standings in 2012.
His first class with Colorado signed 19 players, five of which are offensive linemen.
Orange (Calif.) Lutheran guard Colin Sutton was the highest-rated of the group that included four, three-star prospects.
Farrell said that while he agrees with many points that MacIntyre made about linemen, evaluating the position is part of the job he likes the most.
"Game film of offensive linemen can be misleading since it is rare an elite player will go against someone as good as he is in the regular season," Farrell said. "I have found that the camp setting has become a really great place to see linemen."
Farrell worked diligently during the creation of the Rivals Camp Series presented by Under Armour to ensure that he and his team of analysts would have ample opportunity to see the best players line up in one-on-one settings.
It is in those trenches that he finds things that are often impossible to see on tape.
"Without a full uniform on, you can really see who has bad body weight and what frame a prospect has," Farrell said. "Also, we get to see a guy's aggression and physicality.
"There are no pads on and it gets pretty rough. You can see the guys that want to get aggressive and tough and those that just slide to the back of the pack and don't take reps. Those are things that I have really started to notice and pay attention to in the last couple of years.
"It started out as just something I would take note of -- the guys that didn't want to get after it -- and those guys tended get onto campus and disappear in the system," Farrell said. "I think that camps are a way to take away one of those intangibles and make it a measurable point."
Finding ways to eliminate error is what everyone involved in the process is hoping to do.
For analysts, it is to refine the evaluation and ranking process while the coaches would be happy to eliminate busts from their recruiting class.
"It is an inexact science," Caragher said. "We have to do our best to project and develop. If someone found a foolproof system they probably wouldn't share it anyways."

Deals to be found on livestock equipment
While the past few years,
generally speaking, have been pretty good for grain farmers, those same years
haven't been as kind to the livestock and dairy sectors.
Sometimes I feel like a
scorekeeper, sitting here compiling auction sale price data on all types of
used farm and construction equipment.
What I'm continually struck
by is the raw power of sentiment. Farmers asking, "Do you think the months and
years ahead will bring better times? Or do you think times will be worse?"
Collectively, these widely
held views can and do affect markets – even the used equipment market.
Take early August 2010, for
example. A report was released detailing severe trouble with the Russian wheat
crop. Talk of surpluses turned to deficits. The price of wheat doubled. With
corn, talk of a USDA report citing weak crop conditions sent the price upward.
So when I got a sale price
report from an August 5, 2010, grain farm auction in north-central Iowa, it
wasn't surprising that it showed very strong sale prices.
In fact, a couple records
were set according to my historical data. One record set a $78,000 final bid
given for a 2002 Case IH Model MX220 front-wheel-assist tractor with 1,462
hours. That is easily the highest auction sale price I've seen on that make and
Another record price was set
on a pair of Parker 4800 gravity wagons. They went for $8,000 each.
Now For The Flip Side
It's definitely not a
bullish attitude at auctions with livestock and dairy equipment, however.
There were a couple years of
tough losses, then a glimpse of profitability, followed by a possible crescendo
of grain prices late in 2010 and into 2011.
Look at the table on the
opposite page that shows auction sale prices on various makes and models of
manure spreaders. Pay particular notice to the the New Idea Model 3639 manure
spreader that sold on the northeast Wisconsin auction in June 2010 for $2,500.
I thought this spreader, which was in excellent shape, would bring a bit more.
More Examples
Look now at the chart on
this page (above). It shows the average auction sale price on New Holland Model
355 grinder/mixers.
The values on grinder/mixers
began to increase back in 2004 as the price of steel shot up. Values kept on
rising right into 2008. Sharply rising commodity prices began to adversely
affect the profitably of the livestock sector, and average auction prices on
New Holland Model 355s fell hard in 2009. They're still falling in 2010.
For example, on a February
9, 2008, auction in northeast Iowa, a New Holland Model 355 sold for $15,000.
And then 13 months later, on a March 28, 2009, auction in this same northeast
Iowa region, a New Holland 355 in like-new condition sold for $10,000.
Here's further proof of the
softness in the livestock equipment sector. On a March 7, 2006, auction in
southwest Nebraska, a 2002 Haybuster Model H1100 tub grinder in good shape sold
for $24,000. On July 15, 2010, a 2003 Haybuster H1100, also in good shape, sold
for $12,500 on a sale in southeast North Dakota.
That's four years later for
a comparable tub grinder and it's worth nearly half.
This speaks volumes about
the great opportunity that exists right now to cash in on much cheaper values
for livestock equipment.

If you love Slurpees from 7-Eleven and you've always wanted to have a mustache but can't seem to grow one, you're in luck.
The convenience store has gone hispter, for a limited time only this summer, with plastic Mason jar reusable Slurpee cups and mustache straws.
These fancy 26 oz. cups will come in four colors to please all tastes green, blue, pink and orange and sell for $2.99. You first Slurpee when you purchase the cup is free with refills offered at a discount.
There are four styles of mustaches available at $.99 each. 7-Eleven employees have unofficially named the hairy upper lip straws The British, the handlebar, the Hogan and the Sawnson.
Laura Gordon, 7-Eleven VP of brand innovation and marketing said, "Slurpee-lovers of all ages will have fun sporting their favorite 'stache straw with a Mason jar mug, and enjoying a Slurpee drink is all about fun and flavor."
We're wondering if they got the mustache idea from our very own Bustache.

Lighting contractor Jeffrey Taylor told a criminal grand jury that he was approached for campaign contributions from Sweetwater school board member Pearl Quiñones and witnessed former Superintendent Jesus Gandara take a check from a contractor at a holiday event.
Taylor testified on Dec. 11 during secret proceedings leading up to the indictment of 15 officials and contractors as part of District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis' public corruption probe in South County.
The defendants have pleaded not guilty, and tried to block release of grand jury transcripts on the grounds that they are prejudicial, as targets cannot defend themselves and witnesses are not cross-examined. The judge granted some redactions, but most of the transcripts were made public this week.
Taylor testified that he worked for HAR Construction from August 2009 to August 2010, running the company's electrical division. He said he worked at Southwest middle and high schools on construction projects for the Sweetwater Union High School District.
According to Taylor, he was approached by Quiñones and asked for campaign contributions on site.
- South County transcripts released
- Contractor: 'They drank all my liquor'
- Contractor: Officials demanded meals
- Contractor: Gandara took check, said thanks
- Brand: Sweetwater ways 'didn't seem right'
- Defense: Contractor fudged reports
- Luau launched Sweetwater coziness
- Architect felt like fix was in
- 'Boy I spent a lot of money on those people'
- 'Oh, no, that is not happening'
- Sweetwater attorney: 'We support our friends'
- 'You are going to end up paying for my meal'
- Compilation of searchable, downloadable transcripts
"She came out twice," he testified. "She asked for donations. Me and a couple of the guys gave her $20 just to move her along. And that was about the end of seeing Pearl."
Taylor said he was asked to raise money from his subcontractors as well, and that such requests did not happen elsewhere.
"I have worked on Helix High School, Mt. Miguel High School, Grossmont High School, Oceanside School District, a few jobs in New York," Taylor said.
The prosecutor asked whether board members at those locations had ever come to a job site seeking campaign funds.
"No, never," Taylor said.
According to Taylor, his employer threw a holiday party at Fleming's Prime Steakhouse and Bar. Taylor said owner Hector Romero handed him his holiday bonus check in an envelope at the event, for $3,000.
Taylor said Superintendent Gandara and his daughter attended the company's party as well. At the event, Taylor testified, he saw Romero hand a "check like mine" to Gandara, although Taylor could not testify to the amount.
"What was the reaction to the opening of the envelope?" prosecutor Leon Schorr asked Taylor.
"'Wow, thank you,'" Taylor said.
Taylor said that, afterwards, Romero said to him, "That's going to get us more business."
Taylor also described a fundraising dinner he attended at the Loews Coronado Bay Resort in Coronado, at which he remembers paying $500 for a plate of food.
"I can't eat $500 worth of food, you know, nor would I want to," Taylor complained. "There must have been four or five hundred people there. It was pretty pathetic."
Taylor said he understood the event to be "all the subcontractors and general contractors getting together and thanking Sweetwater for giving them work."
The district attorney's office is trying to build a case that officials took dinners, tickets for sporting events and plays and other considerations in exchange for multimillion dollar contracts on voter-approved school bond projects.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Sometimes it is much easier to buy a complete gaming system than to build one yourself for a variety of reasons, perhaps one good reason would be a two year warranty so you won't have to worry about spending your quality time with a recalcitrant PC. The Alienware X51 sports some nice components for the price tag such as a Core i7-3770 @ 3.4GHz, 8GB DDR3, a 2TB SATA III Hard Drive, and Blu-ray. Perhaps the only possible letdown is the GeForce GTX 660 1.5GB, but consider the price and the form factor before you dismiss the system. Also worth noting, it ships with Win7 64bit, not Win8.
To get our recommended Alienware X51 deal, follow these steps:
1. Start here at Dell Home direct store
2. Configure as per needs (optional), click Review & Buy button at the top
3. Add to cart
4. Apply coupon code: BHW1L0MX0D?MCX in shopping cart and proceed to final checkout/payment
I won a Alienware X51 with a GTX 660 oem i7 3770 16 GB 1600Mhz ram and a bluray drive/burner, for its size its a beast, slightly bigger than a XBOX360 it fits great in my home theater on my 60". I know people like to hate on Alienware but the x51 is only 150-200$ more expensive if you built it, not bad in my opinion. Anyways I have a youtube channel that showcases the x51 running every game on max settings at 1080p. If you want a STEAM BOX now this is it. As for the GTX 660 OEM being 1.5 GB is fine, it sports 1152 Cuda cores on a gk104 vs the non ti off the shelf 660 which is on gk107 and only has 960 Cuda cores, and 1080p gaming I get better benchmark results overclocking than the gk107 660.
Oh and the GTX 660 oem are dirt cheap on eBayas x51 owners are upgrading to EVGA GTX 670 and GTX 680's so these cards get tossed on eBay new for 100-170$ which is dirt cheap, plus these cards have sli bridges so having two of these in sli for 300 $ is a steal IMO. I already have a EVGA GTX 670 on order.

alienware lost it's cred when theygot bought out. You started seeing way too high of price for what you were getting.
Today, seeing someone with an Alienware is akin to seeing someone with Dre Beats headphones...you point and laugh.

text: I'm sure this has to be close to a record, but I just had a new set of SPPP snap right at 4T just as I was threading the 3rd last cross. 40 minutes and $9 down the drain. Sucks. I guess I could understand if I were up in the 60 lb. range, but I'm right at 50 lb. on the tension. Amazing.

Whether you've held on to an old family heirloom or just found an antique treasure at a flea market, refinishing an old piece of wood furniture can turn other people's trash into your treasure! Your piece of furniture could be in good shape and may just need a little elbow grease and some DIY love to be its best self again. Today, we'll go over the first set of steps you'll need to make your old furniture new again.
You'll need to gather a few things… aside from the furniture, of course.
– Safety Goggles & Chemical Resistant Gloves
– Drop Cloth
– Paint Thinner
– Scouring Pad
– Paint & Varnish Remover
– Natural Bristled Paint Brush
– Scraping Tools
– Disposable Pan
– Steel Wool
– Lacquer Thinner
– Rags & Towels
1. The chemicals needed for this type of project are very harsh – be sure you have proper safety googles and gloves to protect yourself. You'll also need a well-ventilated area to work in. Safety first!
2. Spread out a drop cloth in your work space. You can add newspapers on top for an extra layer of protection. Clean entire piece of furniture with paint thinner and a scouring sponge. Dry off with towels. Cleaning with paint thinner first will remove any wax or grease that may remain on the piece, allowing for easier varnish removal in the next few steps.
3. Spray or wipe down the entire piece with the varnish remover. Follow the instructions on the varnish remover. A brand with a spray bottle is recommended as it makes the process a little easier – we can recommend one to you when you come into the store. Start at the top and work your way down in small sections. For smaller, detailed areas, use a paint brush with natural bristles to get into every nook and cranny.
4. Wait. We know, you've started and now you want to keep going! But be patient. It should only take about 15 minutes for the varnish to soften and loosen from the wood. Set a timer based on the manufacturer's instructions.
5. Using a dull-end or plastic scraper, begin scraping off the old varnish. Place waste in a disposable pan.
6. Spray again over detailed or problem spots and gently scrub with steel wool. Repeat this process until the piece is free of varnish.
7. Clean off the entire piece with steel wool and lacquer thinner. This will remove and neutralize leftover varnish remover and protect wood from raising. Thorough cleaning at this stage will aid in sanding and refinishing later.
8. Dispose of all chemical-soaked rags, steel wool, waste pans, and brushes according to local environmental regulations.
9. Let the piece of furniture dry for at least 24 hours. Waiting could very well be the hardest part about refinishing furniture.
Come back next week for Part Two – sanding and applying the new finish. This will give you ample time to make sure your newly-stripped furniture is dry and ready to go!

This edition is the complete trilogy of Live or Die.
The aliens have arrived!
Their first message is one of peace, but can they be trusted?
This is the story of the first contact between humanity and the civilization of another world, with all of the uncertainty, questions, deceptions, curiosity, fears, and ethical problems that it raises. But it is also the story of a huge spaceship in orbit around the Earth; and the diary of a government agent whose mission is to thwart the alien conquest.
The plot revolves around artificially intelligent beings, nuclear threats, virtual simulations, the mysterious origins of an alien civilization and government agents whose lives hang by a thread. The inescapable fate of the human race will be shaped by these, along with the power of love between a man and a woman.
What if, for a moment, the fate of the Earth was in the hands of a single individual?
What if the survival of one person could upset the future of two worlds?
And what if dying was preferable to living?
Live or Die - Trilogy:
Book 1: Betelgeuse or Alpha Orionis
Book 2: The Reawakening
Book 3: The Choice
©2015 Gianluca Ranieri Bandini (P)2015 Gianluca Ranieri Bandini
"Very Unique ~ Unlike Any Sci-Fi I've Listened too!"
I love a good Sci-Fi, but I'll admit this story is unlike any typical Sci-Fi I'm used to reading. It wasn't really a Sci-Fi opera or even a military Sci-Fi; however, overall I did like it, and think if you a true fan of Sci-Fi, then you will probably enjoy this trilogy.
Looking over other the reviews, it appears there were several comments about book one. Book one it's told in six parts but the first two are very different.
Part 1 - Diary format following characters that were placed underground from June 3 to September 11th and during this time earth is invaded by aliens. Two of the main characters Siroio and Namiko start develop a relationship and communicate by video.
Part II - Is told from the spaceship Alpha Orionis on-board log which details the most recent events but is mainly in a code like format - very different.
Part III - IV This is where the book starts to pull together the events from part I and II and becomes more like your typical story telling. By the end of book one, earth has been invaded and suffered a lot of human losses and these losses were a result of an error from one of the alien races on the spaceship Alpha Orionis. They've assisted earth with rebuilding.
Siroio and Namiko have fallen in love and moved in together; however, due to a medical condition Namiko is in a comma and her outlook is very grim. The first officer, Eldgh, on the Alpha Orionis offers to save Namiko by sneaking her onboard their ship when they leave earth, but she will the only person allowed to leave. Siroio agrees for Namiko to leave so she can be saved.
There's a lot going on in the story and the plot is full of kinds of twist. Book two picks but by book three, I was really into the story. I loved and hated the ending.... in a good way. :-)
I noticed there were mixed reviews on the narrator; however, I think he did an awesome job. Since this story is told from multiple alien races, he used a voice that you would associate with a logical thinking alien being. In my copy of the audiobook, there were many repeats, where you could hear a finger snapping sound, and that segment would be repeated. This may be annoying to some but showed me how hard the narrator worked to perfect the narration.
I was torn between giving the story a three or four star. Ultimately, I settled on three stars for the story. Overall, I did like the story, but there were times throughout the story, where it just was not holding my attention and I would stop listening and come back to the story later. However, due to the narrators efforts and how the story really came together in book three, I'm giving the book an overall four stars.
This is a story, I don't think would be a good fit for everyone; however, if you enjoy Sci-Fi stories, and are not expecting the typical military or opera Sci-Fi, then you'll want to add this story to your collection of Sci-Fi's because it is a both different and decent. One thing I do not like is for someone to get a story in genre they do not like and then give it a one star.
"I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Blast dot com.
"Someone forgot to edit the audio"
The book? Yes, it's pretty good. This audio recording of it? No.
The story itself is a clever iteration of the alien invasion story.
Yes, it has some good visuals.
Quite a few times throughout the story you will be listening along and suddenly there will be a "click" sound like someone snapping their fingers. The narrator then re-reads the last sentence. These seem to be audio editing prompts that someone forgot to edit out of the final recording. If the audio were properly edited to remove these the audio would be much better.
"It was okay"
I liked this book alright, though I didn't like that it was almost entirely in diary form. The main character spends most of the first book trapped in a tiny bunker and becomes progressively whiny. I admittedly didn't read the second or third part of this book, as the first turned me off the series. I got this book in exchange for a review
"The aliens have arrived!"
If my friend liked this genre, then yes I would. I received this audio book without asking for it, yet I really appreciate the offer, just not my cup of tea.
I think the moment I remember most was the scene where the hero had to decide to let his love die or never see her again.
Excellent Narrator!! I could listen to his voice day and night. Many narrators are dull, making me think that they would rather be doing something else and many other narrators are pleasant but not too memorable. I will remember Marcio, he put in 110%. He put so much emotion and "acting" into his voice that it was like watching a movie in my mind.
After the fact, yes I am glad I listened to it. Not my genre of books that I read.
For the author, narrator, or publisher. I kept hearing a click and the last sentence was repeated. This happened many times, FYI
"Narrator gets in the way"
The narrator of this book appears to have never heard many of the words he is called on to read here-he pronounces them in a way I have never before encountered. His Australian accent swerves from South African to stuffy-headed SoCal surfer, and you honestly wouldn't know that it is Australian if you weren't told so early in the book.
There are numerous occasions in which the narrator does a second take-both takes are present, separated by what sounds like a finger-snap. He also clears his throat with some regularity.
I am not yet through the story, and don't know whether I will be able to finish it. Although there is some promise, some of the dialogue is stilted and distracting. Overall, it is difficult to sink into this book because of the reader.
"Not a fan of Alien stories"
If you like science fiction this would be a good listen. Narrator speaks clearly and is easy to understand.
"Poorly edited recording and lame storyline"
Unfortunately this is a poorly edited recording with all the errors in recording still in place - clearly indicated by the narrator but obviously not pre-release edited. This is hardly acceptable for commercial audio production.
The story itself is pretty lame, unfortunately, exacerbated by the bad imitations of national accents.
This one was a disappointment. As an avid SciFi reader, I can't say this one stands out.

rsync behaves differently under cron and under my normal environment
Hello, *
I am making a backup on an ntfs disk, mounted with:
# mount -t ntfs-3g \
-o utf8,quiet,shortname=winnt /dev/disk/by-label/Elements /mnt/tmp
using the following command:
*/usr/local/bin/rsync -rltDh --no-group --no-owner --delete *--modify-window=1 -stats */museum/ /mnt/tmp/backup/museum
Running this (or rather the shell script containing it) from the command line is OK, but if I run it as a cron job, I get thousands of messages:
rsync: recv_generator: failed to stat "/mnt/tmp/backup/museum/mail/ingridmens/mail/inbox.sbd/kerkstraa
t.sbd/offic\#303\#253le stukken": Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character (84)
(without line breaks, actually).
These files are all ordinary files made under Windows; the above should read "officiële stukken", and from the command line it does, but not in cron.
I guess I need to set an environment variable, but which one?
Mine: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8

Bernadette's Reopens With Lizzy Caroloke
The ax has been put away for now, as the queer dive bar gives it another go
By Kate X Messer,
2:40PM, Tue. Jan. 8, 2013
A few weeks ago, we reported the demise of beloved Eastside dive bar Bernadette's closing her doors for good. Well, it seems the notice of her expiring was, like so many teeny greasy, bloody babies, premature.
Bernadette's Bar reopens Wednesday, January 9, 6pm-midnight with Lizzy Caroloke beginning at 9pm.
What we know is that bar manager Cody Boone has worked out a situation with the owner to keep the bar going "'til further notice," with its previous schedule of Sunday-Friday, 6pm-midnight and Saturdays, 6pm-1am.
Band bookings and DJ nights are in the works. Stay tuned and be sure to check the Gay Place listings regularly.
There is even talk of the bar getting an actual sign.

The experience is so often the same: That glass of wine somehow slips out of your hand—or that missed slurp of coffee sloshes out of your mug. And, as if in slow motion, you can see the to-be-stain leaping toward the lightest, most stainable fabric within the bi-state area, settling between the fibers for all to see. And unless Murphy's Law took the afternoon off, that stain is setting up base camp in the most visible part of something treasured, irreplaceable and expensive.
So what do you do now?
"The worst thing you can do is try to wipe it off," says Ken Rimell, co-owner of Marquard's Cleaners. Rimell, also known as 'The Clothes Doctor,' explains that a stain should be approached initially in two different ways. "If it's a liquid stain, try to absorb and keep it within the perimeter of the stain. You're not wiping or spreading it—you're containing it in the area." If the stain is something solid, such as ketchup, Rimell says, "The best thing to do is to try to remove it with a soft-edged object like a spoon." After lifting the stain, dab it repeatedly with a dry cloth. "You'd be amazed at how much you can get off of it."
If you feel the need to use water, get a cloth wet and "ring out all the water and do the same thing" as previously explained, says Rimell. "If it is washable, and you trust the care label and you've washed it before, you can follow the washing instructions—and do it as quickly as possible. In a matter of about 48-52 hours, the air causes oxidation; once you past that mark, it becomes a spot—and becomes more and more difficult to remove."
According to Rimell, it is important to note that seemingly harmless water can cause sincere problems while removing a stain. For example, he explains using water to remove a stain on a cotton garment may leave a ring around the stain when it dries; this is because of sizing, a glue-like product found between threads that gives body to the fabric. When the entire piece is submerged, such as in a washing machine, these little rings don't appear; when only part of the fabric is wetted and left to dry, small stains can be made worse.
Bryce Roderick, owner of Fiber-Seal of St. Louis, says the best way to respond to a stain is to make sure you know what you're dealing with. "If you know what it is, then you can appropriately treat it." He explains that, for example, if it's red wine on wool carpet, you should take a white, dry cloth or paper towel and blot up as much of the liquid as possible. Then, again using an entirely white cloth, blot the wool carpet with water.
If the stain is on a water-friendly fabric, and water doesn't take the stain off, Roderick says it is time to call a professional. "If you start introducing other chemicals, you don't know what damage you may be doing to those fibers. For instance, if you have rayon fabric, and you get it wet, it will more than likely ruin that fabric. You really need to know what type of stain you're dealing with and what kind of fabric it's resting on."
While everyone might know their family's secret at-home stain remover, home remedies can be a dangerous game, Rimell notes. "Some of the home remedies do work, but some don't." However, he explains that even functional remedies can cause serious problems when done improperly or tweaked slightly.

The effects of tariffs on coalition formation in a dynamic global warming game
The prospects for cooperation on climate protection beyond 2012 are currently uncertain. Thus policy instruments which foster participation in International Environmental Agreements (IEA) are in demand. Among the instruments under discussion are trade sanctions. Multi-region optimal growth models are a state of the art tool for integrated assessment, but introducing trade sanctions distorts the competitive equilibrium, making it difficult to compute numerically. We introduce trade and trade sanctions into a model of coalition stability to assess the potential of trade sanctions to support an IEA. Trade is modeled by having all countries produce a generic output good, but adopting national product differentiation (Armington assumption). Coalitions are free to impose tariffs on imports from non-cooperating countries. We solve the model numerically using a refined version of Negishi's [Negishi, T., 1960. Welfare economics and existence of an equilibrium for a competitive economy. Metroeconomica 12, 92-97] basic algorithm. We then apply the model to analyze the influence of tariffs on international cooperation. The model suggests that there is indeed a significant potential to raise participation through trade sanctions, even when goods from different countries are nearly perfect substitutes. Furthermore we investigate the effect of trade sanctions on global welfare, environmental effectiveness, and the credibility of the tariff mechanism.

Yes, David C. has been great in responding to requests and answering questions!
I would agree, another feature I have just noticed is that when I hit the post button it said that two new posts have been made while I was replying and maybe I would want an opportunity to review what I just posted.
Otherwise - I notice the other Forum-admin "cmaglie" should be mentioned in this positive vibes thread, too.

Tom Gorzelanny (2-4) collected the decision, yielding four runs on six hits over 5 1/3 innings, walking one and striking out four.
Jim Henderson picked up his 12th save after the game was delayed by rain for 1, hour, 45 minutes in the bottom of the ninth.
