Van Hollen thanks Grimm for GOP response
Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) thinks Rep. Michael Grimm's (R-N.Y.) outburst Tuesday night is something of a metaphor.
"Well I'd like to thank Michael Grimm for delivering the Republican response, which essentially said to the American people, 'I'm going to throw the [president's] agenda over the balcony,'" Van Hollen joked during POLITICO's post-State of the Union event on Wednesday.
Rep. Grimm made news Tuesday night after a video was released showing him physically threatening a reporter at the Capitol Building after the State of the Union.
"I think that kind of sums up the Republican reaction in the House," he joked.

Just auctioned the last of the wii u preorders I had (actually had 29 of them, I still have 1, but I'm keeping that one for myself).
Sorry I haven't been able to respond personally to any of the comments from the previous posts and the direct messages that were sent were answered as much I could. If I missed you, please feel free to post a comment here or just DM me again. Twitter usually works well too if you happen to be following.
Anyway, with all the dust settling, here's the final tally...
- 29 total Wii U preorders in hand (Sept/Oct)
- 10 Basic ($299)
- 12 Deluxe ($349)
- 28 listed and sold on ebay:
- 8 were sold for +$300 or more
- 15 were sold for +$400 or more
- 5 sold for +$500 or more
- Total profit for 28 was $11,400 (this takes into account shipping/handling, tax on the preorders, etc.)
- 1 for me :) (it's basically free, now)
A few things to note: both deluxe and basic sets sold well, but with relatively slow start at the beginning of the auction (that is expected) with more action at the end. I used 3-day and 7-day auction formats, never used BIN and never had a reserve. 3 and 7 days showed about similar sales figures... it boils down to I think people are looking at auctions ending that day to bid on. One got re-listed because the seller backed out. Thats fine, I actually had a higher final price on the relisting anyway. Had two preorders for games (new SMB), but those don't go for much and should be in stores (somewhat).
So, what's next? Well, preorders were just the start. Much of this madness is due to a couple of things: this is the first console in a long time, its Nintendo and the Christmas season. Lots of people are looking for this and they all know that this will not be one of those "pick it up a week before Xmas" thing. From now until *whenever*, there should be a very profitable reseller market... I remember the original Wii (2006/2007) I actually got four at or near launch, sold them for $1,200 but could never got my hands on any more. Never saw them back in stores for a good six or seven months down the line!
Its different now days and with online retailers and everything, I'll be looking to buy as many as I can online. I'll post links below if anybody's interested, but basically bestbuy, walmart.com, target, gamestop, etc. are your best bets. They will probably get some stock in throughout the next few weeks. But no guarantees. And no guarantees that if they are in stock, you'll be able to get in before they sell out. If I can get another 20... who knows what they will go for on ebay, could go higher as time runs out before xmas... Another 20 units should move for at least $7500.
My advice: Unless you have 20 or 30 preorder slips laying around, use an inventory tracking site to monitor the websites mentioned above. They basically will sell out in minutes, but it is possible to get in during that 10 or 15 minute window IF you get notice when they do. Forget the individual website "email me when in stock" notices. Although they do go out, but they are meant for items that don't sell out in minutes. Usually the earliest you'll get these is an hour or so after they are in stock. Too late for WII U's!
The one I used to get my preorder Wii Us was wiiu4me.com and it worked fine. It's normally $19 to get the text and email alerts, but they run codes for $10 off making it $9.99! Try this link for the promo code, if it's still valid: http://wiiu4me.com?promo=SUPERMARIO
It's not really that complicated and takes a little bit of work. It won't last forever and I am not quitting my day job, but it's definitely worth it for now.

PENDER COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — New details have emerged about the alleged embezzlement of more than $68,000 by a former American Cancer Society employee.
Investigators say that during a 10-month period in which Wendy Perdue had control of an unauthorized America Cancer Society checking account, she stole money to live a frivolous lifestyle.
Arrest warrants say Perdue used a debit card linked to a checking account she set up in the name of Relay for Life to go on trips to a Disney resort, Radio City Music Hall and the House of Blues. Investigators say Perdue also cashed two checks she wrote to herself totaling more than $20,000 and used another check for more than $8,000 to pay for work at Wilmington Plastic Surgery.
Perdue faces ten counts of embezzlement. Her case was back in court today. It was continued until Dec. 11.

Check on Outdoor Bulbs
Keep an eye on bulbs planted in the ground. If any start to rise to the surface of the soil in the fluctuating temperatures of late winter, gently cover them with mulch. Brush away the mulch in early spring when they begin to grow in earnest.
Remove Leaves from Hellebores
This month you may see Helleborus orientalis begin to bloom. To show off these early flowers, cut most or all the leaves back to the ground (most of them are probably showing damage from winter weather anyway). After bloom, a new flush of foliage will appear.
Care for Living Christmas Trees
For a living Christmas tree that you haven't yet planted, be sure to keep it on a protected porch or in the garage for several days. This is an "in-between" step in temperature to help acclimate the tree more gradually to the outdoor temperatures.
Bring Forced Bulbs in from the Cold
If you potted up bulbs last fall for forcing and refrigerated or set them outdoors, now is the time to bring them in from the cold. Give them a warm, bright spot. Once they show some green above ground, water them well. Before long you will have spring's color chasing away the grays of winter.
Care for Winter Blooming Jasmines
January is the month when winter jasmines are in bloom, another harbinger to spring along with the lengthening days. If you succumb to the temptation and buy one now, already in bloom, keep it in a cool room or protected spot outdoors where it can still be seen and enjoyed. Wait to plant it in the ground until after it has finished blooming.

Photographer's Note
The majesty and geological beauty of the Arches area began to expand to the public in 1923, when Hungarian born prospector living nearby - Alexander Ringhofer wrote the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad about its unique landscape. Frank A. Wadleigh the Railroad's passenger traffic manager accompanied by photographer George L. Beam photographed the numerous arches, and suggested to National Park Service director Stephen T. Mather to make the area a National Monument. A succession of government investigators led to its National Monument approval in 1929 under President Herbert Hoover. It was not until 1969 that it was changed from National Monument to National Park under President Richard Nixon.
This image is of the Windows section including the Turret Arch on the right. It is rewarding to saunter from the parking area around the back side of the two giant Windows arches to Turret Arch and other photogenic fins and monoliths.

Hi Ray,
Can you see a face in this? Those arches are really the shape of eyes and the rock is like a big bulbous nose. Today you present this place as windows, again reminding me of my last comment about the rock hewn city in the sky. The people in this add a really cool sense of scale, showing how huge these are.
Thanks as always

FAIRHOPE, Ala., -- Just minutes after rushing for 359 yards and four touchdowns in a 45-24 win over archrival Fairhope on Thursday night, Rivals100 running back T.J. Yeldon of Daphne (Ala.) was asked how firm his commitment to Auburn is.
"It's solid," Yeldon told Rivals.com. "It's solid."
According to Yeldon, a 6-feet-2, 200-pounder who is rated as the country's No. 34 prospect, he will unofficially visit the Tigers this weekend when they play Florida. He recently attended Alabama's home game Sep. 24 against Arkansas, which fueled speculation his pledge to the Tigers was shaky.
Article Continues Below
But Yeldon said, "I just wanted to go to Bama to have fun with my friends."
Asked how many times he has been to Tuscaloosa, Yeldon said he didn't know. He added he has visited Auburn "more than Alabama."
A future trip to Alabama, however, seems likely.
Despite his commitment to Auburn, Yeldon said he plans to take multiple officials, and not just visit the Tigers.
"I'm not sure right now where all I'm going, I'm just looking around," Yeldon said. "I know I'm going to Alabama."
When might these visits come?
"Um, I'm not sure yet," Yeldon said. "I'm expecting to graduate in December but I don't know if I am."
Yeldon's big Thursday night, which came on 35 rushes, was punctuated by a fourth quarter in which he produced runs of 50 and 85 yards, the later being good for six. It was the 23rd straight victory for Daphne, and a career high output for Yeldon despite the fact Fairhope stacked the box most of the night.
"I've had 300 before but that's my highest," Yeldon said. "Their defense got tired real fast. We just kept doing hurry up and hurry up. We knew they'd get tired. Coach told us they would."
Yeldon had 16 carries for 122 yards in the first half.
"We went in there at halftime, and our offensive line coach that's up there watching made adjustments," Yeldon said. "And we picked up the blocks real well."

I am off the bike for a few weeks due to an OP. so I have a some time on my hands.
I am going to strip and polish an old Alu frame I have in the garage, and was thinking of a full polished build ( cranks, seatpost, bars etc) build will be as cheap as possible as I already have enough bikes, but looking forward to some fettling time, the bike will then become my loan out bike.
I expect sourcing/stripping the fork to be the biggest challenge.
I was just wondering what other people had done along the same lines, and was hoping to get some pictures of what was out there.

Happy Birthday
By John Amaro, LAc, DC, Dipl. Ac.(NCCAOM), Dipl.Med.Ac.(IAMA)From the moment of our birth until the last day of life, we are continuously maturing and aging. From the womb to the tomb, the basket to the casket, life is dynamic change. It's meant to be that way. Those who cannot or will not appreciate the phases of life become miserable. Aging is normal, natural and predictable.
Until the 25th year and 9th month of our existence, when the last bone in our body ossifies, growth is steady; at that juncture the body begins a degenerative path, the rate of which depends on heredity and how you have taken care of yourself.
When you recall those years between your fifth and 21st birthdays, doesn't it seem like those years lasted forever?
Why is that? The answer to that question has to do with expectations. When we were seven, we couldn't wait to be 10; at 10 we couldn't wait to be 13. When we were 13 we couldn't wait to be 16, and so on.
I wonder what would happen if when asked our age we responded with the childlike, "I'm 67 1/2." Ever notice how children always put in that half, even if they're not quite at the half way mark? They're really looking forward to their next birthday. What would happen instead of dreading it, we actually looked forward to being 50, 60, 70 and beyond? The answer: our perception of aging would be totally altered. While the biological and physical aging continues, at least mentally we would stay more youthful and vigorous. As long as we are young mentally, we will be young forever.
Recently, I celebrated my 50th birthday. On that morning I have to admit I felt a little forlorn as I anticipated the numbers of cards, balloons and flowers which would be adorned with black "over the hill" messages. What would the day bring? Besides that, my birthday also falls on April Fool's day.
As fate would have it, which it always does, that day was an incredible day of age healing and awareness for me. Dozens of cards, balloons and flowers were brought into the office; none mentioned being "over the hill." But the most significant event was the fact I saw over 50 patients that day who were well into their 70s and 80s. The general comment I heard all day long was, "You're 50, you're just a child," or "I can hardly remember being 50." What a great day! Because of those people that fate brought to see me that day, I can go easily into my 50s realizing we have a long way to go before we become old. In fact, I'm not sure when that is, but it certainly isn't before 85.
I was born in the second year of the "baby boom." Us true baby boomers know quite well that there has never been a generation like us in the history of mankind, and so we automatically get to deduct 10 years at age 50, meaning when you hit 50, it's actually like 40. Those of you who are more than 51, which is the age of the first baby boomer (1946), can back up the calendar five full years. So enjoy it!
The following list of aging signs are only meant to be humorous and not to be taken as reality. Laugh at these rules, but do not adopt them. From this day forth, look forward to your next birthday.
Remember, "Youth is a feeling, not an age." Keep your mind active, develop young interests, volunteer, exercise, walk, socialize, eat well, go to a ball game (preferably little league), surround yourself with kids. Have fun. Watch the classic movie "A Christmas Carol" and feel the message.
It is said, "A journey of a thousand miles, begins with a single step." Good luck on your journey.
Aging is when ...

LinkedIn Corp. shares more than doubled to $103.00 (U.S.) in their public trading debut on Thursday, a jump reminiscent of the heyday of investors' love affair with Internet stocks in the late 1990s.
The shares soared 128 per cent, or $58.64, to $103.90 in late morning trading on the New York Stock Exchange - far exceeding the $45 initial public offering price.
The stampede for the stock brings the valuation of LinkedIn - which less than a decade ago was no more than an ambitious idea and a computer in one guy's living room - to more than $8-billion.
LinkedIn is the first prominent U.S. social networking company to publicly test just how hungry investors are for anything social-media related on the Web such as Facebook, Groupon, Twitter and Zynga.
Such exuberant debut trading in recent years has been the perogative of Chinese Internet stocks, unmatched by their U.S. peers. LinkedIn is the first U.S. Web company to replicate the jump, marking the biggest first-day price jump since shares of Qihoo 360 Technology Co, China's third most-popular Internet company, surged 134 per cent in their NYSE March 30 debut.
But LinkedIn Chief Executive Jeff Weiner shrugged off the trading craze or even worries that the pricing underestimated the appetite for the stock.
"Speaking for myself, personally I'm not even thinking twice about where the price is today and leaving money on the table or even anything remotely along those lines," he said, adding that the stock "will take care of itself" and trade on fundamentals.
He also cautioned against viewing LinkedIn as a proxy for other big-name IPOs potentially coming to the markets, saying they will also be driven by those companies' fundamental values - which are, in turn, far from echoes of the dot-com bubble.
"The fundamentals of the companies that are category leaders in terms of their respective social platforms are very, very different from what we saw in the late 90s and early 2000s," Mr. Weiner said.
LinkedIn, which runs a professional social network online, raised $352.8-million on Wednesday by selling about 8 per cent of the company, or 7.84 million shares, for $45 apiece. The company increased its anticipated price range by $10 on Tuesday to $42 to $45 per share.
The company's shares were sold at about 17.5 times its 2010 sales. By comparison, Google Inc's shares are valued at about six times 2010 sales.
Underwriters on the IPO were led by Morgan Stanley, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and JPMorgan.

Pebble app update with new features including "Discover Pebble" to find new watch faces
If you are the owner, or soon-to-be owner of a Pebble smart watch, you will love the update that was just pushed to the iOS application, which is available via the App Store for free. Included in the update is a lot of stuff for new owners that deals with tutorials on how to set up your new Pebble, how to pair it via Bluetooth, etc. Also in the update is a screen to simulate receiving an iMessage/SMS text message and a phone call, so you can see what will appear on your Pebble's screen in the event of one of those notifications. Here is the complete change log:
What's New in Version 1.1
– Improved initial set-up of Pebble with a step-by-step walk through
– Added tutorials to help you pair with Pebble via Bluetooth
– Added screen to simulate receiving an SMS/iMessage notification or phone call
– Added the option to supress warnings for 3rd party applications
– Added "Discover Pebble": a guide that highlights cool Pebble watchapps and other resources
As you can see in that last bullet, there is a new "Discover Pebble" option in the app that lets you see other watch faces and watchapps, as Pebble calls them, to get for your device. I wouldn't mind owning a Pebble, however smart watches just aren't what I wish they were yet. I currently use as a watch an iPod nano that I picked up cheap after the new one was announced, and use the Tik Tok case/wrist strap for it. If Apple doesn't release the heavily rumored iWatch soon though, I may start looking to other options, as I am a huge proponent of wearable technology (I'm way too excited about Google Glass, as well). I also have a Nike+ FuelBand, just as another example of my love for wearable technology (watch for a review soon).
Get the app now on the App Store for free: Pebble.
What do you think? Do you own a Pebble? Will this make you pick one up? Let us know in the comments, or tweet me @TiP_Kyle.

There is plenty to talk about when it comes to battery life and keeping your devices charged while on the go. At risk of stating the obvious, but this is one of those times when there never seems to be enough and where bigger seems to be better. The exception to that rule comes when the battery is large enough that it adds serious weight and size to the device. Anyway, the topic of batteries came up when we saw that Woot offering from last week, the one where they were offering the messenger and sling-style bags for $39. Basically, while trying to decide whether I needed to purchase the Powerbag, it got me to wondering — how are most users keeping their device charged while out and about.
Lets face it, with a few small exceptions such as the Galaxy Note II, most devices will drop into the red with a heavy day of use. In taking inventory of my battery charging options, I found that I am using four methods. One of those we can rule out for most Android users right off the bat. That one is the battery case. I have a Galaxy S III and am happy to have the Mophie Juice Pack which adds a 2300 mAh battery to the stock 2100 mAh of the handset. While I consider this to be solid option, I also realize that I may be more of an edge case in terms of use here.
You see, I like the Mophie because it gives me a form factor 'close' to the size of my phone and allows me to have double the battery life without ever having to shut my phone down. I tend to use this on long runs when I want to make sure Runkeeper stays running and tracking beyond a few hours time. More realistically here, and likely the reason most Android users would not feel the need for a battery case — many Android handsets have a removable battery.
Enter method two. In my case, I have a few of those. The extra battery option is good for just begin away from power. They tend to work good when I go camping. It is easy enough to swap the battery out and this is one of those times when I don't mind the phone being shut down for little while. This also goes to the external USB battery packs, method number three. These tend to work better when you have multiple devices and also when it is convenient to be carrying the battery pack itself. After all, unlike a spare battery, these are generally not going to fit in your pocket.
This is where the Powerbag comes back into play, assuming I am carrying a bag that can hold a USB battery pack — it may as well be a bag with a built-in battery and internal wiring. That being the case, I did go ahead and order a new sling-style Powerbag and have plans to pass my current bag off to a friend. Another perk with the bags is the charging. You see, you can have your devices plugged in while inside the bag (multiple devices at a time) and they all keep charged using the bags internal battery. On top of that, you can also charge them all up by simply plugging the bag itself into a wall outlet.
Of course, the key factor with any of these options is to making sure they are charged ahead of time. Sometimes a dead battery or making use of a car charger is inevitable. With that, I shared a bit of my craziness when it comes to making sure my devices keep charged while out and about but I am also looking for some stories from others. Shout out in the comments and share some of your methods, or if you want, call me crazy for having so many battery charging option.

Fun Facts About Oscar the Grouch
Oscar the Grouch is usually best when making a 'very brief cameo', but sometimes it's fun to give him a starring role. However, we also understand that Oscar the Grouch is not really fond of the spotlight. It makes him .. kind of Grouchy. Of course, cameos make him Grouchy too. Read on, we guarantee the trivia about Oscar in honor National Grouch Day will make you smile. Just don't smile too much in front of Oscar.
- Orange the Grouch
The original incarnation of Oscar the Grouch was orange. This is actually a good thing. Jim Henson originally envisioned the character as being more of a purple color and a lot wider.
- The Tattoo and Rainbow Connection
In the 1970s, whenever Oscar needed to be more 'mobile,' then there was actually a special actor ready to contribute. That actor was none other than Hervé Villechaize. The French actor is best known as Tattoo from Fantasy Island. This is quite possibly the most awesome piece of trivia... ever.
- The Trashcan Wormhole
When Oscar is not walking around in his trash can, the Can takes on mystical abilities. Apparently, when grounded, the Trash Can acts a wormhole to Grouchytown. Grouchytown is in Grouchland, USA. Don't dwell on the actual location of Grouchland, USA. We understand the debate over location led to a war between Ohio and Michigan. According to the Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland, respectable Grouches (or non-respectable Grouches) live in Grouchland which is only a closed Trash Can away.
- The Wormhole Goes To Springfield
Oscar the Grouch made two appearances on The Simpsons. Presumably, if a Trash Can Worm Hole can take you to Grouchland, USA then it can also take you to Springfield, Oregon. In Missionary: Impossible, Oscar the Grouch was one of the PBS characters chasing Bart Simpson for funding. Oscar was also part of singing number in the episode Trash of the Titans.
- "Grouchy' Is Not Really 'Evil'
Apparently, years of being cooped up will confuse you. Oscar tried to join Kahmanrah's army in Night at the Museum; Battle of the Smithsonian. The trouble was that Oscar wasn't really all that evil. He was just kind of ... grouchy. Unfortunately, the wormhole was also as non-functional as the Force Choke or that might have been really useful to Kahmunrah's plans. At the very least, Oscar did not have to join Darth Vader fending off a T-Rex in The Indian and the Cupboard.

The board of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria on Thursday elected Health and Human Services secretary Tommy Thompson as the fund's new board chairman. Thompson was the only candidate for the position after Sweden's Lennarth Hjelmaker dropped out. Thompson will serve as chief fund-raiser for the organization, soliciting donations from wealthy countries, including the United States, which has come under fire from global AIDS activists for not contributing enough to the fund. The current chairman, Chrispus Kiyonga of Uganda, did not seek reelection.
Thompson's election to the global fund's board came just three days after President Bush pledged to boost spending on international AIDS efforts to a total of $15 billion over five years. But most of that money will go to prevention and treatment programs in 14 countries in Africa and the Caribbean, with only about $1 billion in new allocations going to the global fund over five years. Global fund executive director Richard Feachem said that Thompson's appointment has "no automatic connection with a greater U.S. financial contribution."
AIDS activists are upset and concerned over Thompson's election. Asia Russell, director of international policy for the Health GAP Coalition, called the situation "unacceptable" and said it "sends the message that if you flatline the fund, you get a pat on the back. If the U.S. is going to buy the chairmanship, they could at least use real money." Joanne Carter of the international citizens advocacy organization Results called Thompson's election "ironic" because she said Thompson comes from an administration that has "missed a huge opportunity" in adequately supporting the fund.

The first episode back in this season of Doctor Who introduced the woman who will play the next companion in the form a of Dalek who used to be human and who still thinks she IS. It seems likely that this is just a case of the show starting her off in a different role, to then be reintroduced later as someone else. They have done it before. But I really hope that is not the case. I want a Dalek as the next companion.
It may be the only thing that can make the Daleks interesting again. The companion dynamic could use something fresh as well. I know it is an apparent rule that the companion must be a cute and clever girl, but this Dalek WAS one, and still IS inside her mind. I'm sure The Doctor could set up a way to visit her inside the mental space in which she appears human, so they can interact on a more personal level.
This is potentially such a complex and sympathetic character, a killing machine trying be more than the sum of her parts and keep her human nature intact. It seems like such a shame for her to be a mere one off. Who agrees.

Over 800 teams from around the world will compete in the 35th Odyssey of the Mind World Finals; two of those teams will come from Onslow County Schools.
Over 800 teams from around the world will compete in the 35th Odyssey of the Mind World Finals; two of those teams will come from Onslow County Schools.
Eight of Onslow County Schools� teams advanced to the state finals, held April 5, at Wingate University in Charlotte. The OM teams from Dixon Elementary School and New Bridge Middle School performed so well at the state competition, they qualified to move on to the world finals. The teams at the world competition represent the best of the best creative minds.
In Odyssey of the Mind, teams of students work on creative, hands-on problem solving in a competitive environment. Teams compete under one of several long-term problems performed before a panel of judges. Teams are also given a spontaneous problem to solve in a very short period of time. All of the work to solve the long-term problem must be done by the students without any outside assistance, including their coach.
Dixon Elementary Schools� Odyssey of the Mind team took first place in Division I in It�s How We Rule. New Bridge Middle School took third place in Division II in Drivers Test and they also won a special creativity award which qualified them to move on to the world finals.

text: My parents are coming for Christmas morning brunch and they drink coffee. My husband and I don't drink coffee, so we don't have a coffeemaker nor do we want to buy one. Is there any way to make coffee without a coffeepot or press? Looking around online, I've found that there are coffeebags, much like teabags, that may work. Has anyone had any luck with these? Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Last Thursday, a punk-rock show in Georgetown and a dance party on Capitol Hill demonstrated two very different modes of dealing with the past, preservation, and progress in urban spaces. In Georgetown, Brooklyn fuzz punks Japanther played a show at Mini Mart City Park, a new SuttonBeresCuller project that's just what it sounds like: an old gas station and convenience store turned into a public-park-as-art-installation. As of last week, the unfinished park still looked mostly like an overgrown grassy lot; indoors, there were some wall panels explaining the history and environmental impact of this and similar gas stations, as well as some roped-off, under-construction areas.
The show was the second at the park—the first was a performance by "Awesome"—but the first featuring amplification. In between bands, Wu-Tang blasted from a stereo—this was an Implied Violence benefit, after all. Planes flew low overhead at regular intervals. Apparently, during Strong Killings' set, which was out front on the street side of the building, a city bus stopped nearby and several passengers wandered over to see what was going on. Neighbors dropped by throughout the night, curious and affable. Japanther set up—their drum head looked like it said "Japantier," like it was French—and tore through one of the best sets I've seen from them in years, playing favorites like "1-10," "Challenge," "River Phoenix," "Fuk Tha Prince a Pull Iz Dum," and "Mornings."
What made it so good wasn't the set list—it was just the perfect, almost chance combination of band, crowd, and setting. The band played with heart and humor, drummer/vocalist Ian Vanek talking his usual snarky but sincerely inspirational shit between songs; the crowd danced and pogoed and pumped their fists and sang along as one big sweaty mass, kicking up clouds of dust from the ground, Pig-Pen-style; and the setting, a disused industrial backyard in the midst of being transformed into a place for new and vital art, was sweet. I rode my bike back to the Hill buzzed and still singing the songs.
Up on the Hill was something else entirely. In the parking lot of Havana, the folks behind the Cap to the Hill blog had erected a one-night-only re-creation of the old 500 block of Pine Street (Cha Cha, Bus Stop, etc.), with painted facades of the old storefronts and life-size dioramas of the bars' decor set up underneath a giant projected photo of the real thing. The whole thing was funded, weirdly, by JanSport, thanks to the hosts having won a contest to throw a party to the tune of $10,000 (I would love to see a breakdown of how that money got spent).
Other than insanely long lines, the party was fine, but off. For one thing, many of these bars still exist—Cha Cha, Bus Stop, soon Pony—only changed and relocated. Hell, the new Cha Cha was literally across the street. Its ersatz version was just labeled "Lounge," since the party's promoters couldn't get the consent of the real Cha Cha's owners. Whereas Mini Mart City Park is taking an old space and transforming it, the 500 Block Party felt like a theme-park re-creation of the past, a shrine in painted cardboard for a nightlife neighborhood that goes on living, like it or not.

American Mineralogist
- © 2017 Mineralogical Society of America
The "Anthropocene Epoch" has been proposed as a new post-Holocene geological time interval—a period characterized by the pervasive impact of human activities on the geological record. Prior to the influence of human technologies, the diversity and distribution of minerals at or near Earth's surface arose through physical, chemical, and/or biological processes. Since the advent of human mining and manufacturing, particularly since the industrial revolution of the mid-eighteenth century, mineral-like compounds have experienced a punctuation event in diversity and distribution owing to the pervasive impact of human activities. We catalog 208 mineral species approved by the International Mineralogical Association that occur principally or exclusively as a consequence of human processes. At least three types of human activities have affected the diversity and distribution of minerals and mineral-like compounds in ways that might be reflected in the worldwide stratigraphic record. The most obvious influence is the widespread occurrence of synthetic mineral-like compounds, some of which are manufactured directly for applications (e.g., YAG crystals for lasers; Portland cement) and others that arise indirectly (e.g., alteration of mine tunnel walls; weathering products of mine dumps and slag). A second human influence on the distribution of Earth's near-surface minerals relates to large-scale movements of rocks and sediments—sites where large volumes of rocks and minerals have been removed. Finally, humans have become relentlessly efficient in redistributing select natural minerals, such as gemstones and fine mineral specimens, across the globe. All three influences are likely to be preserved as distinctive stratigraphic markers far into the future.

David Bowie to release new album in March
On his 66th birthday, David Bowie has returned from a nearly decade long hiatus with a new single, and details of a brand new album, The Next Day.
As his press release notes, "in recent years radio silence has been broken only by endless speculation, rumor and wishful thinking … a new record … who would have ever thought it, who'd have ever dreamed it!" The Next Day is the first Bowie album since 2003's Reality. The album will be released in Australia on March 8, around the world on March 11 (excluding the USA) and in America on March 12.
The lead single, 'Where Are We Now?', was written by Bowie and recorded in New York with long term collaborator Tony Visconti. The single comes with a haunting video directed by Tony Oursler which harks back to Bowie's time in Berlin. Bowie sings of Potsdamer Platz as he watches footage of the Berlin apartment he lived in along with stark images of the city at the time. Watch the video here:
While further details on the record are yet to be released, Bowie's son, film-director Duncan Jones, has tweeted encouraging fans to buy the record and "knock Taylor feckin Swift off the top of the charts!"
Also, what better way to knock Taylor feckin Swift off the top of the charts! ;)

As with a theme park ride, the gift shop waited on the other end of the Ironman 70.3 Augusta registration table.
Inside the Augusta Marriott at the Convention Center, a mobile shopping mall was assembled for the 3,466 race participants who began arriving in Augusta on Friday. First, they checked in and signed a waiver. Then, they pulled out the credit card.
St. Louis athlete Julie Ellis and her training partner, Kierstin Coovert, filled several shopping bags with gear. A trophy for their efforts was the official Ironman Augusta race shirt that includes every preregistered participant's name. They squinted their eyes to read the tiny writing.
"You busted your butt all season training," Ellis said. "You know you got to get it."
Mobile vendors sold running shoes, bike racks and tires, energy food, hats, shirts, wetsuits and anything with an official Ironman logo. Some lined up for a stretch with a chiropractor.
Dennis Geiser, the mobile store manager for Inside-Out Sports of Cary, N.C., said the products available have advanced far beyond what was on the market when he began triathlon training in the early 1990s. Jelly beans were his energy source then, not the endless variety of power bars he sold Friday.
"You don't need any of this stuff except a helmet and a set of clothing to cover yourself up," Geiser said.
The most popular item in Geiser's store Friday was a $3.99 cartridge of carbon dioxide used to inflate bike tires. The tiny bottles don't pass security regulations at airports.
Geared up and ready, Nick and Barbara Vetere, of Pennsburg, Pa., pedaled from the hotel entrance for a 17-mile bike ride. With the race Sunday, athletes are shortening their exercise time.
"It's hard not to train hard. The body is used to it," Nick Vetere said.
His strategy for the swim, bike and run: one leg at a time.
"Just like a workout," he said. "Hope I make it through the whole thing."

Mercer 2 GCSU 0
March 19 2012 at 11:43 AM
GCSU had a couple of breakaways late in 1st half, and missed by inches with 1 minute to go. Mercer was lucky they won this game on their own field.
Mercer was clearly better team, but GCSU clearly showed no fear in playing a superior opponent.
GCSU looked to be on the up and up and should have a good year in the PBC.
Mercer is going to struggle this year a great deal. No good center mids. Just some athletes up top at forward and a shaky back line that turned over the ball and gave up easy break aways.

CPP Report Explains Why a Merely "Satisfied" Customer is Less Likely to Return
Bad experiences quickly turn consumers away; great ones keep them coming back. While it's no surprise that satisfaction and likelihood to return are correlated, what is notable is the degree to which this is true.

CPP Report Explores Growing Portion Sizes
Despite wanting just 500-700 calories per meal, many people believe that today's fast food combo meals generally deliver the perfect amount of food. However, in reality, these combo meals often exceed 1,000 calories. IFMA's latest Consumer Planning Program (CPP) research finds there may be a gap in consumer expectations and what is currently being served.

School News
As your town columnist, I try to keep my ear to the rail on all the tracks leading into town. Therefore, I have been posting information about the RSU #20 Summer Feeding Program. This week I received an email request from Searsport Elementary School principal, Linda Bowe, asking me to post the following. "I wanted to let our community know that Searsport Elementary School - 30 Mortland Road - is part of a federal program that supports free breakfast and lunches for all children and youth up to age 19. The hours and days are as follows: Monday - Thursday from 8:00 - 8:45 for breakfast and 11:30 - 12:15 for lunch. July 14, 15, 16, 17; July 21, 22, 23, 24; July 28, 29, 30, and 31. You do not need to sign up ahead of time. Thank you for posting this in our newspaper." We're way ahead of you, Linda. And thank you for all you do for our town. Last year, when we held our first Harvest Parade without a school, I asked her about having the children bused from the Searsport school at the end of the school day. She arranged the transportation, came with the students and stayed until the last parent picked up their child. One cannot ask for a more dedicated principal.
Volunteers News
The Stockton Springs American Legion Annual Yard Sale is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, August 2-3, at the Legion Hall, 5 Sandy Point Road in Stockton Springs. The Legion Hall will be open Monday, July 28 from 9:00 a.m. - noon for Yard Sale donations. Please contact Lee Snyder 567-3137 if transportation assistance is needed.
Sara Bradford of the Sandy Point Ladies Aid emailed the names of the raffle winners from this year's Ladies Aid Fair. Ms Bradford reports, "It was very successful -- had lots of customers, lots of helpers, and want to thank all of them. Our raffle was as follows: 1st prize - Eugene Ellis, quilt. 2nd

There were around 50 people in attendance at the Open Mic Plus, with very talented local and visiting musicians who all appreciate the venue and atmosphere. The next Open Mic Plus night is August 20 with the featured performers being the very popular Galler family. This is combined with our annual ice cream social. This event begins at 6:00 pm.
The SSPC Pie Pazoola dinner will be on Wednesday July 23. The first seating is at 5:00 p.m. The second is at 5:45 p.m.
Resident News
I recently learned that Sandy Point resident Florence Heath is at the Brewer Center for Health & Rehabilitation. I have spoken often about Florence in the context of the many roles she has played in our volunteer community. She is also a family friend. She was a friend of my wife's late mother and Laverne and Florence were coworkers at the Colonial Gables Motel and cabins. They spent many days together; making beds and laughing the morning away. They don't see one another often, but when they do, find a chair. It takes a while to split them up. Friends of Florence can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com for her address at the center. I don't wish to publicly broadcast the information.
Now that she has another academic school year at Searsport High School under her belt, young Cape Jellison resident Mary Brenna Catus will hone her math skills at the Maine School of Science and Mathematics in Limestone. I asked her at the end of the school year if she had plans for the summer. She does. I would tell you what else she has on her plate, but I didn't take notes and I'm sure I would leave something out. She is a very active young woman. Good luck and have fun, Mary.
Our daughter Sarah Anne Davis and her family are up from Georgia for a couple of weeks. She and her boyfriend Michael brought their Brady Bunch up in a packed Ford Windstar to visit her mom and me and brothers Kevin, Kurt and Young Jeff. Georgia grandchildren Brandon, Tatum and Alexander joined local grandchildren Joshua and Addie for some time by the shore at papa and gram's house. For the first time in years, the circa 1860 Mudgett, Griffith and Libby Boardinghouse perched on the bank of Lowder Brook and overlooking the historic Fort Point Cove was running at full capacity in the beautiful town of Stockton Springs.

The classic tale of Annie has been given a 21st century upgrade with its latest remake.
Starring the adorable Quvenzhané Wallis as the infamous Little Orphan Annie, this version of the musical takes place in 2014 Harlem, and will include more contemporary takes on both the characters and the music.
Produced by powerhouse duo Jay-Z and Will Smith and directed by Will Gluck (Easy A, Friends With Benefits) the musical will feature Jamie Foxx as a new kind of Daddy Warbucks named 'Benjamin Stacks,' a wealthy business man looking to run for mayor.
The role of the ruthless Miss Hannigan will be taken on by Cameron Diaz, while Rose Byrne will play Stacks' VP Grace and Bobby Cannavale has been cast as scheming campaign advisor, Guy.
Yahoo! Movies released the film's first official trailer this week in which modern takes of "It's a Hard Knock Life" and "Tomorrow" can both be heard.
Annie is due out on December 25, making it the perfect candidate to be this Christmas's box office smash.
Check out the trailer below and tell us if you'll be seeing Annie when it hits theaters next winter!

Let's get to the point the best knives
Stay sharp in the kitchen with these tips on choosing and using knives
To emulate your celebrity chef heroes you will need a decent knife. You just can't do all that fancy, fast onion chopping with a blunt tool. But how do you choose between a Naifu, Masakage or a Haruyuki?
1 If you buy just one knife
Most experts agree that the most versatile knife is an 8-inch Santoku — a Japanese general-purpose knife — or a traditional chef knife, which can be used to cut everything from pork to parsley. Expect to pay £80 to £200 for a good one. "The Santoku is one of my favourite knives, a really good all-rounder," says Pete Duncanson, the managing director of Cutting Edge Knives.

This holiday season was a sad one for Caroline Manzo. The former Real Housewives of New Jersey star and her family lost their beloved dog, Austin, to an undisclosed illness on Christmas morning.
PHOTOS: Are these stars dog or cat people?
"RIP my beautiful little puppy, you were so loved," the Bravo standout and mom of three tweeted on Dec. 25, alongside a photo of Austin in Santa's lap. "Santa has a new sidekick - xoxo."
Later, she posted some pictures of the pup with kids Albie, Lauren, and Christopher. "Dogs are FAMILY...rest in peace, Austin," she wrote on her website. "We all love and miss you."
Lauren, 25, also mourned her dog's death online. "RIP my old man...I love you so much - you were the best dog in the world," she captioned a photo of the family pet on Instagram. "I will always love you Austin. Go play with Harley!"
PHOTOS: Remember these former Housewives?
Added Albie, 27: "Lost our little guy today, been with us every step of the way for the last 17+ years. Gonna miss you buddy."

Jill Masters offers a brightly voiced performance in this rendition of a 14th-century English folk tale.
The title character of Dick Whittington and His Cat is an orphan who arrives in London looking for fortune. Finding work with a wealthy merchant, Mr. Fitzwarren, Dick lives in a rat-infested room. Dick buys a cat that rids him from the rats and, eventually, delivers him from rags to riches.
Masters' subtle British accent, along with the dramatic flair she adds to dialogue, help make this story appealing to kids and all fans of "poor orphan" tales.
In this traditional story, Dick, a boy from a poor family, sets out for London to make his fortune, accompanied by his cat. They have a number of remarkable adventures along the way.

Yes, Appier did drive in the first 2 runs in this game, however it was Jay Payton who drove home the last run, with an 11th inning double, scoring Jorge Toca who made a most ungraceful belly flop across home plate.
This was also Benny Agbayani's last game with the Mets. He broke a bone in his hand in the early innings and was lifted in the 4th. He was out for the rest of the season and never played for the Mets again.

I remember Gary Cohen on the WFAN postgame saying at one point, his voice dripping with sarcasm, "And Cliff Floyd took his sweet time getting to the ball...," which led to a burst of laughter from me and my father. Who knew Cliff would be joining us at Shea two years later, and become a fan favorite!
Example One
The Mets suck! They need to trade Smith and get somebody like
This comment is off-topic and will be removed. It has nothing to do with
any specific game. But here's an acceptable alternative:
Example Two
The Mets suck! Smith made three errors in this game, and hit into a
double play, and the Mets blew a 5-0 lead. They need to get rid of Smith
and get somebody like Jones.
See the difference? Here you're getting the same point across, but it's in
the proper context. We wouldn't consider this message to be off-topic, and
we would let it remain.
We do appreciate anybody who takes the time to share their thoughts on our
site, and we hate to remove anybody's postings. But if we didn't take
steps to ensure that only on-topic messages were retained, The Ultimate
Mets Database would become a confusing jumble of unrelated comments,

Thank you!

As of this morning, Cars.com had fewer than 4,800 2014 Subaru Foresters in new-car inventory — less than half the stock of 2013 Toyota RAV4s and a mere one-fifth the number of 2013 Honda CR-Vs. Heck, the Mazda CX-5, a competitor the Forester handily outsold in April, had more than double the 2014 inventory.
Cars.com Reviews the 2014 Subaru Forester
The new Forester went on sale in March 2013, and April sales outpaced year-ago numbers by 65.3%. Yasuyuki Yoshinaga, CEO of Subaru parent Fuji Heavy Industries, told The Wall Street Journal (sub. req.) that Subaru feels the inventory pinch. The automaker targeted 8,000 monthly sales, but the SUV could eclipse 10,000 this month — a situation that could cause a supply shortage, Yoshinaga told WSJ.
It already looks that way. WSJ reports that dealer supply of the small SUV stands at just 16 days — the time it would take for Subaru dealers to sell their Foresters at the current pace if manufacturing stopped. Compare that to the industry's average, which was 63 days on May 1, according to Automotive News.The Forester hails from Japan. Subaru announced in early May it would expand production at its sole U.S. plant — in Lafayette, Ind. — by 100,000 units a year, but it'll make the Impreza, not the Forester, in Indiana. Yoshinaga said the automaker will likely have to set new sales targets in the U.S., but it remains to be seen if it can ramp up Forester production to meet that demand.

Arbaaz Khan, who turned into a producer with the movie Dabangg was successful in his first venture. He went ahead and produced and directed the sequel to that movie Dabangg 2. And now, he is producing his third film which is said to be a women centric film. Salman Khan, who starred in the Dabangg series will not star in this movie.
"Yes, Arbaaz has locked a script two days ago and will now start casting. He needs an established heroine and a relatively less popular hero. The film will not feature Salman. He wouldn't even have a cameo this time," says a source.
Dabangg 3 is also in the pipeline but our Sallu Bhai is busy with other movies now. Right now, he is busy with Jai Ho and later he will work on Kick; both of which are remakes of Telugu films.
Talking about South Indian films, Genelia D'Souza, who is a popular actress in South India; will now act in a prominent role in Jai Ho. Genelia was spotted on the sets of the movie in a wheelchair. "It's a challenging role and Genelia surprised everyone by canning her shots in one or two takes," was what a source from the unit said.

Hattiesburg, Miss., July 30, 2013 -
William Carey University's Center for Creative Scholars held the 43rd Annual Creativity Workshop for children grades K-12 on the Hattiesburg campus July 22-24. Nearly 100 children and teenagers participated in the workshop.
Led by Dr. Read Diket, director of the Center for Creative Scholars and workshop director, and Svetlana Lucas, associate workshop director, the program allows students to select the focus of their learning for three days. This year's choices included "Return from outer Space," "The World Through My Lens," "Survivor School," "Is Advertising in You?", and "Marvel of Mystery." Each project was led by three or four educators from local schools. Participating teachers were Danny Arcement, Slidell High School in Slidell, La.; Adrianne Ashley, Purvis Lower Elementary; Kelsey Bush, Harrison Central High; Brandy Fairley, Petal Upper Elementary; Whitney Hollingsworth, Richton Elementary; Melinda Howell, Agricola Elementary; Marion Jackson, Magee Middle School; Rachel Leggett, Grace Christian Elementary; Keri McRaney, Simpson Central School; Sadie Penton, Pearl River Central Middle; Amy Perry, Stone Elementary; Sophia Simmons, Osyka Elementary; Ellen Smith, J.E. Johnson Elementary; Sarah Stubblefield, McDavid Jones Elementary; Alicia Verweij, Roseland Park Elementary, and LaShaunda Westbrook, North Forest School District.
"Our goal stresses having your child or adolescent love learning, development of friendships based on common interests, and resourcing the university's environment," said Dr. Diket. "Each day participants add on layers of experience. Workshop students assimilate understanding of complex worlds of facts, opinion, influence, and politics. They learn what enduring values might be embraced, and they debate possible futures."
The next WCU creativity event will be "Creativity Write-Down," which will be held Saturday, January 25, 2014, from 8:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. For more information on the Creativity Workshop or Creativity Write-Down, contact Dr. Diket at (601) 318-6205 or email@example.com.

And no, don't, don't click off. Stick around and let them do what they do! It is affecting their lives, not mine.
I quit watching BB several years ago because TPTB kept playing over and over and over a comment made about one of the females. Then at the finale played the commet for her live. These are edited shows and if it was not good for the ratings TPTB would not show the comments.It is up to each person to decide what and when something is offensive and stop watching. I found Colton's comments very offensive, was waiting for them to show it because of Jeff's comments in the TV guide. I will not stop watching the show because of them, I chalk them up to ignorance on Colton's part. Someone mentioned upthread that his parents were probably mortified by his behavior, not in the least, they are the ones who raised him to think like this. What this shows is anyone.....regardless of straight, gay, religious, race, political....CAN be bigots.
There's no place like home!
Sometimes I think people love to watch Reality TV villans is that secretly they wish they could tell off people the way a villan does and that they can behave as badly as a villan does.
No goat killers on my island.
That was a great message! And I've had a terrible day, so thank you.I love random acts of kindness.Really, realy appreciated.Scott- RIP SDL<3
Yes, the villains bring the drama, and it is usually fun. But that's why I said Survivor seems to have jumped the shark this season. Colton's anything BUT entertaining, as you said - he's grating. Not fun to hate at all!
I used to watch The Biggest Loser, and I quit watching for the very reasons you stated. I wanted to see struggle and inspiration, there's plenty of drama on the other shows. I've not watched for 4 or 5 seasons now. Sad to ruin such a good concept.
To return evil for good is devilish; to return good for good is human; to return good for evil is Divine - Alistair Begg
I guess there are many people like Colton , they just wouldn't be in my life, so its hard to sit and watch him, without wanting to slap him.
Reality TV would be boring without the so called villains, and every show HAS to have one, because who else are people going to hate( and talk about)

Dragonlady, et al. --- They didn't change their minds at TC about who to vote out---they scammed Bill into thinking it was Leif in order to get Bill to go along with going to TC. Then they showed us the scamming to fool us as well. From the relieved scam on Leif's face at TC he knew he wasn't the real target (although I'm sure he had some doubts!). They had to get everyone to agree to go to TC before TPTB would agree to let them give up immunity I'd guess. Or at least that' how I interpreted what happened that night.
Forgot to mention one really embarrassing moment....Tarzan ranting about how there's no racism in America these days (as "evidenced" by our President being who he is) while sitting next to the East Asian sushi chef whose name he didn't know who was covering his face to hide his reaction at what was being said next to him.
Oh, and, captain, if you quit watching TBL in the Heba/Vicki era the following seasons were much much better, full of people you'd enjoy watching... until this season where there's one person who is as bad as both of them combined. So there's hope for future seasons.

I agree with Fanny Mare in that I don't allow people who think and behave like Colten into my life. I'm debating now whether I should allow this into my home through my television. I've watched Survivor since the first season, and, with a few ups and downs, I've mostly loved it. However, this last show really disturbed me. Colten is growing more and more bold in what he says, and I think, unless someone has the guts to stand up to him and tell him it's unacceptable behavior, without being voted out as a result, he will only get worse. The fact that no one at tribal spoke up against his bigotry was sad. And I know that someone could have and it may have been edited out, but I only have what they air to go on. Maybe what bothers me most is that Colten, being a gay man, is a member of one of the most discriminated against groups of people in the country. For him to be so bigoted and intolerant and to say the vile things he says about others who are different... well, he of all people should know better.
When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "Happy." They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life. - John Lennon

SIU wants R155m from Nkandla architect
Johannesburg - The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) is trying to recover more than R155m from architect Minenhle Makhanya, the "principal agent" allegedly responsible for inflating the cost of the security upgrade at President Jacob Zuma's private home in Nkandla.
City Press reported the investigating unit was given the mandate to probe the R216m upgrade, which began in 2009 after Zuma's election as president.
The unit filed a summons against Makhanya in the KwaZulu-Natal High Court in Pietermaritzburg on Tuesday.
The SIU's final report on its Nkandla probe, conducted in terms of a proclamation issued by Zuma, is set to be made public next week.
It is not clear at this stage whether the state will focus all its attention on Makhanya, who was illegally appointed by the department of public works.
Makhanya, who had worked as an architect for Zuma on his home before his election as president, is the first in a series of individuals and companies named by the SIU in papers on Tuesday against whom it is understood to be preparing to act.
Applications against the others, including the contractors who he was responsible for recruiting, overseeing and paying, are understood to be in the pipeline.
In papers, SIU KwaZulu-Natal senior forensic lawyer Ashish Gosai said Makhanya's appointment, on the recommendation of public works project manager Jean Rindel and then director general Solly Malebye on 27 August 2009, was unlawful and invalid as there was no open tender process around it.
It was also made despite Makhanya not being on the public works roster system, a prerequisite which he and those who appointed him should have been aware of.
It was Makhanya's actions that had resulted in the cost skyrocketing from the authorised R27m approved by public works after security assessments by the South African Police Service (SAPS), South African National Defence Force (SANDF) and intelligence services.
Security installations
In a series of five claims within the application, Gosai said that Makhanya had been responsible for building security installations, including the R21m underground bunker with three lifts and the R3.9m fire pool that were "not security measures as were determined by the SAPS and SANDF''.
Makhanya changed plans and costs without authorisation, making payments totalling R68.5m to service providers for work that fell outside what the SAPS and SANDF recommended.
Gosai claimed Makhanya had "overdesigned" guard houses, a control room, the clinic, 34 staff houses an inner perimeter fence and sewerage facilities, often more than doubling the SAPS stipulated dimensions and costing public works an unnecessary R11.7m.
Makhanya, Gosai said, had also caused the department to illegally pay himself and other service providers – Ilangalethu Consulting, Ibongo Consulting, Mustapha and Cachalia Engineering and Igoda Projects – more than R13.6m in professional fees.
Gosai also wants Makhanya to pay back the R54.8m he paid to Pamela Mfeka of Moneymine Investments and Thandeka Nene of Bonelena Construction and Projects, the two contractors responsible for the construction side of the project, and an additional R5.3m from Igoda for work which was never done.
The final claim, for R1.18m, is for a payment he made to Bonelena for a fence it never built.
Makhanya has 20 days to indicate to the court whether he
will oppose the application, after which he must do so within another 20 days.

And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice."

Fast track for Buffalo Harbor State Park is another example of a new attitude
Some years ago, one jaded observer acidly noted that Buffalo was the world's capital for artist's renderings. It was a fair criticism – one plan after another to remake Buffalo was produced only to disappear into the dust cloud that had enveloped hundreds of others.
No more. Today, when projects are announced, they are quickly followed by action, whether that's at the RiverBend development, the HarborCenter project or, today's case in point, the new state park on the outer harbor.
It was only May when Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo designated the 190-acre park on Buffalo's spectacular but long-neglected waterfront. Now, hardly three months later, comes the announcement that the park will begin taking shape over the next few weeks. By Buffalo standards – maybe by anyone's – that's blazing fast.
Buffalo Harbor State Park will reach from Gallagher Beach north to the Small Boat Harbor. Plans are to install new sod and soil cover, landscaping and berms to vary the topography. It will feature a nautically themed playground, two picnic pavilions, a promenade and stage, and a large area for recreational activities.
No word yet if there will be a Shark Boy statue, although we'd like to recommend one.
The $15 million project is being funded through Cuomo's Buffalo Billion and New York Works initiatives, and it is only the start of outer harbor development. Planning, which has included conspicuous public outreach, is well under way for another 160 acres of outer harbor land that, like the parcel about to be developed, once belonged to the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority. A plan is expected for that parcel by late September.
The pace of development in Buffalo would have been unimaginable a half-dozen years ago, when the inner harbor was stuck in neutral and the outer harbor was a forgotten wasteland. The Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus was hardly more than a concept and Larkinville wasn't even a rumor.
There was no Canalside, no HarborCenter, no RiverBend, no plan to bring IBM to downtown Buffalo. There was just Buffalo as it had been for decades: down but not beaten, unsure of itself and sidelined by the state.
How things can change, and what a difference individuals can make. Rep. Brian Higgins, who wrested waterfront funding from the New York Power Authority, gets credit for starting the ball rolling, and Cuomo has been a demon about firing up the Buffalo economy. No governor in memory has been so committed to this part of the state.
It's a great time to live in Buffalo – when artists renderings turn into shovels in the ground.

Boom Blox: Bash Party is a game to test your humanity. No, not really, but it's a lot deeper and potentially metaphorical than most might imagine. Especially considering that the gist of the game is Jenga on steroids that took HGH when they were in college. This is a game that tests your idea about how things relate, what's important to the big picture, and just how many hours you can sit with friends on your couch debating which corner of an imaginary block you should try to hit with an imaginary baseball in order to topple a tower of multi-colored 3-D objects.
If you're not with me yet, then you ought to borrow, rent, or buy a copy of the game and play it for 10 minutes because you will be then. As usual, the unique invention of the Wii remote puts you in a position to throw all manner of objects at your TV screen, deftly grab and pull or push blocks, or aim cannon, lasers, and slingshots at myriad creatures whose body structure gently evokes that of Spongebob Squarepants.
Sound like a kids game? It functions in that manner very well. But on top of that, it's a teen game, an adult game, and a game for those who like to ingest things that make it illegal to drive thereafter. The title speaks for itself in that it's a group game that provides hours of entertainment. And I'll leave that to the potential user and their friends to suss out but I'll give you the example of my friend and I logging 8 straight hours into the early morn. No small feat for working folk around 30; not like the childhood days of yore where double digit hours in front of the console was a regular occurrence (don't call my parents).
That aside, solo mode is it's own bit of mind-bending. You'll labor under the assumed premise of the level only to find that thinking outside the box offers a 10 second solution to one you've been trying to solve the wrong way for the last 15 minutes. Your brain will strain to work out three, four, a million steps ahead of what you're about to do; what will be the consequences of your next movement in solving a particular puzzle.
The graphics are simple (and that's all they need to be) but the physics are realistic and a difficulty to contend with. They're what make this game. And this game extends them over the original, adding levels in outer space with less friction and levels underwater with a slower inertia to operate in. Even better, after unlocking parts of the game, you can trade and play homemade levels online with other fans of the game expanding the amount of unique playtime tenfold. If you like puzzles, the reasoning behind chess, spatial logic, laughing with a friend when they throw like a two-year-old, utterly destroying constructed items, and/or conking cows in the head with bowling balls, this game is for you.
Boom Blox: Bash Party is rated E for Everyone and is available on store shelves now. Electronic Arts has supplied a copy of Boom Blox: Bash Party for The Married Gamers for the purpose of evaluation and review.

The community council is situated at the entrance of the village. The offices handle all the administrative functions of the village.
9 Pentakomou Avenue, 4528 Pentakomo, Limassol
Pentakomo, comprised five settlements (pente-five, komi=village) which, at one time merged or disappeared to form the Pentakomo of today. The Pentakomo coastline, from the monasteriy of Agios Georgios Alamanos to Governor's Beach, is unspoilt, while the coasts themselves have been subjected to such erosion that curious but interesting features have arisen, such as caves, arches, stacks and islands. One such remnant, known by the name "Karavopetra", has been identified with the Arab incursions on the island. According to tradition, it was here that the corsairs moored their ships before looting and ransacking the land. On a narrow coastal area, to the west of the village of Mari, stretches a picturesque beach, which recently became known by the name of Governor's Beach. This rocky and sandy beach, stretching for about one kilometre, has become, particulary after the Turkish invasion of 1974, a popular spot for bathers, campers and summer vacations. Following a decision by the Council of Ministers in 1989, an organised and planned camping site was established and set into operation at Governor's Beach. Today, the area features all necessary amenities and comforts. The area covers about 13 ha of land and, in 1991, an athletics field, a tourist beach and other amenities began operation. A biological waste processing plant was also established. There are 358 camping lots, 111 for caravans and the remaining 247 for tents. Provisions also include parking spaces, public utilities. lavatories and washbasins, refreshment stands, a grocery, children's play areas, open-air showers, garbage disposal units, paved pathways and benches. At a distance of about a kilometre west of Governor's Beach, the force of the waves has broken the rocks, especially at weak points, and has led to the creation of various geomorphologic features.

USA boss Juergen Klinsmann says the January player camp has given him a better idea of the talent pool he has to select from for upcoming fixtures.
The US team has been together for the majority of the month in the lead-up to Tuesday's friendly with Canada which precedes 2014 World Cup qualifiers against Honduras in San Pedro Sula (February 6), Costa Rica on Denver (March 22) and Mexico at the Estadio Azteca (March 26).
Also in 2013 sees the US competing, and hosting, the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup in July and Klinsmann feels that he has a better vision of the players he will need for both sets of matches that lie ahead.
"With this really busy year in 2013, this opportunity to see these players in camp for three and a half weeks was more than worthwhile," he told ussoccer.com.
"It was really important because we have to build two rosters for the May and June period with World Cup qualifiers and then for the Gold Cup in July.
"Now we have a much broader vision and we have a much better understanding of how many players we have that we can bring to the international level. Our pool is getting deeper and is getting more competitive, too. These players are knocking at the door strongly.
"They want to steal somebody else's spot and have gotten a sense for how this fight really works. It all goes through performance. Show me what you can do, show me how responsible you really are, show me how strong you are, show me how hungry you are. If you do that and do that day-in and day-out, sooner or later you will steal somebody else's spot and that's what soccer is all about.
"If you want to get to the next level you've got to kick somebody out. I think they got a sense for that, and that's what makes us really happy looking into 2013 with a deeper pool and more options in hand for us coaches."
