text: HULT WINS THE RALLY OF THOUSAND LAKES Tobias Hult (Ds3 WRC) returns back winning after the non-partecipation to Rally of Poland: he made as always, a perfect rally, so no chance for the others to beat him. On the second place a good return to the RBRW for Aldo Massa (Fiesta WRC), followed in the podium by his teammate Andrea Crugnola (Fabia R5) who is even the winner in the R5+S20 class and author of another great race. Only fourth place for Fabio Stefani (Fiesta WRC), then a surprising performace for Alessio Bert (Punto S2000), fifth overall and second in his category. Behind him Patrick Rosset (Fiesta R5), that reaches the third in R5+S20 class. Franco Zallo (Fiesta WRC) precedes, in seventh place, Roberto Francioli (Mini RRC) for only one second. Complete the top10 Paolo Cisco (Fiesta R5) and Andrea Bettini (Lancer Evo X R4): the latter wins in R4+N4 in front of Giuseppe Milicia and Antonio Toscano (both driving the Impreza n14 N4). Not a lucky rally for Putkinen and Rollandoz (Fiesta WRC) that were leading the race with Hult and Massa: infact they had to retire both in Leg2 due to accident. Same fate in R4+N4 for Paperini who had a great gap from Bettini after the first day. In R3 Mariano Caron (Ds3 R3T) wins easy on Luciano Migliorati (Ds3 R3T) who had to use the SupeRally formula during the Leg1. In the end the R2 category, where the winner is Marco Piardi (208 R2) that makes it after an amazing comeback in Leg2 on Nadalini Stefano (Adam R2), second at the end, who battled till the end with Andrea Valentini (Twingo R2) third after the last stage. With the next event the "circus" will be back on tarmac with the ADAC Deutshland Rally.

Across the news desk today was a press release from the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance announcing that its Gifting Committee nnounced the selection of five San Luis Obispo County charities as the 2013 community grant program beneficiaries.
The charities are:
These nonprofit organizations exemplified the Alliance's established platform for gifting with focus on healthcare, education and greater community services.
New in 2013, beneficiaries are identified prior to the fundraising efforts of the Alliance and will be promoted alongside upcoming auction lots to encourage higher interest and bidding. In past years, beneficiaries were selected at the end of the calendar year when funds raised over the year would be dispersed. The five nonprofits were announced at the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance Bi-Annual membership Meeting on Monday, July 15.
The Alliance Community Grant Program funds are generated through two Wine Country Auctions and are gifted to the selected nonprofits in December. The first auction took place at the 31st Annual Paso Robles Wine Festival RESERVE event on Friday, May 17 with $15,000 raised. The second auction will take place as a new online auction on eBay this November. This new strategy in fundraising for the Alliance enhances the outreach to wine enthusiasts beyond the confines of a single ticketed event and provides new marketing opportunities for Paso Robles Wine Country and its members.
The Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance Foundation is a 501 c 3 nonprofit charitable organization. Since 2006, the Alliance has contributed more than $350,000 to 25 different charitable organizations.

Can bed bugs fly?
No! Bed bugs are wingless insects so they can not fly. Bed bugs usually move throughout your dwelling by crawling.
Bedbugs can crawl at a high speed compared to other insects or bugs. They will crawl out of their hiding places while you are sleeping to feed, but they do not fly.
Bed bugs can only crawl while they scurrying into dark, very tight spaces where they prefer to hide. They move as fast as an ant. Bed Bugs can't jump or fly either and they will not burrow into your skin either. If there is an insect you have seen or you suspect you saw something when the lights were out near the bed or a couch, it was probably a bed bug looking for a meal.
Bed bugs keep to themselves and they aren't social insects like ants, therefore they don't need a nearby friends. But while bed bugs group together in good dark hiding spots, some loners can be hiding elsewhere.
The Bedbug is also called Cimex lectucularius. It cannot fly because it has only vestigial wings; neither can the bed bug jump. It hides itself among cracks and crevices and comes out at night to feed. It primarily lives on humans, but is known to infest certain zoo animals too.

Catching Up With…Camila Alves-McConaughey
The lovely and beautiful Camila Alves-McConaughey was recently in Manhattan to show off some hand-picked gift ideas for the holidays from the women's, men's, accessories, and home collection from Macy's I.N.C, where she continues to serve as their brand ambassador. We stopped by the penthouse of the Hudson Hotel to catch up with her and talk about Texas style, hubby Matthew's buzzy new flick, and more. BY EDDIE ROCHE
What are your duties as brand ambassador?
I'm the person that gets out there to talk about what I.N.C is doing and the brand's new trends. But my favorite part of being a brand ambassador is going to a lot of store events and speak directly with the consumer. There are so many things that you wouldn't realize just by walking by a store [window] unless somebody showed you. I also do the photo shoots and ad campaigns.
Have you always been outgoing?
Yes! I love people! If I'm driving and see somebody crying, I stop the car and see if they have an emergency or need any help. I want to know where people come from and how their day was.
Sweet! You live in Austin most of the time. How's the style there?
People in Austin dress for themselves. Sometimes that's great, sometimes that's not so great, but it is very specific to that individual. They aren't trying to be anyone else. They have a strong sense of who they are.
How's motherhood treating you?
Great! I'm not going to lie to you, it's definitely crazy with three kids. All of my girlfriends always ask how it is; I highly recommend it, but it is crazy! It's the best thing though. It's so hard for me to leave them; those few seconds leaving them at the door is heartbreaking, especially with my little guy, who is nine months old now. He is just really full of personality and does something new every day. He's trying to walk, learning how to wave, and learning how to clap. So it's a lot of fun, but a lot of work.
Have you watched Matthew's upcoming movie, Dallas Buyers Club, yet?
Yes! I truly don't have enough words to describe that movie. I'm so proud of my husband! It's one of those movies that I went to and forgot that I was watching my husband. I always see part of my husband, because I know him better than anyone. The movie is just fantastic; you forget that you are watching [Matthew], and all the sudden you're part of the story. You're laughing, crying, and getting pissed off. It's a kickass, funny, emotional story.
You lived through the transformation of his weight loss for the role. Was it strange to see it in the movie?
No, it wasn't weird. He worked really hard and it was a slow process to get to do that in a healthy way. It's also a slow process getting back. You can't just put it all back on at once or you'd get sick. At the end of the movie, when his character is at his sickest, from certain angles I had a different man. It was wild! It was a major change, but if he hadn't had done that, it wouldn't do any justice to his craft.
Since today is Halloween, what's your fave holiday?
New Years! I love Christmas with my family, but for me it's all about New Year's! I always celebrate it big because in Brazil it's really part of our culture. At midnight, we go to the ocean, jump the waves, make wishes, and put flowers in the ocean. My birthday is January 28th, so the period from New Year's Eve to my birthday is about going back through the year, balancing everything, and thinking about great and what was not. A lot of people do it at the end of the year, but that's really my period to do it.
Check out our Gallery to peruse the holiday collection.

(11 quotes found)
"We are playing much better, and it seems like we've rejuvenated ourselves now after hitting the doldrums. We took some time off, and I think that has helped."
"I think we're still in the doldrums a little bit, but as soon as the players find out whom we're playing, I'm sure they'll start looking forward to it."
"The housing market remains in the doldrums. With the housing market still slowing and households under pressure from high petrol prices, interest rates will remain on hold."
"We've come out of the doldrums that followed Sept. 11 (of 2001) ... and 2007 and 2008 should continue to be strong. I feel fairly confident about where we are at this point."
"When the doldrums went away, I think we got a sense of urgency and started executing. When we execute and our defense stops them like we were stopping them, then we're going to become a good football team."
"I think we're in the twilight zone. You have the confessional period followed by the summer doldrums, so there really isn't anything that's going to spur it to the upside."

The inmates at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta could be in for a special treat–if they are able to break out of their own cells.
Chief jailer Mark Adger has been facing a huge problem–his inmates are easily able to jam the locks and open them at will. Adger states, according to WSBTV, that, "They just don't serve the purpose anymore of security."
Therefore, Adger has decided to spring for new locks, offering to let the inmates test them and see how well they work. The reward? Newser reports that, should the inmates be able to break free, they will be awarded with free food.
The chief jailer says that his jailers are even asking the most experienced lock beaters to test out the new locks at the Atlanta jail, according to Mercury News.
The food prize isn't huge, listed at up to $20 worth of free commissary food or hygiene products, provided they can bust out of the new, improved locks, according to Newser. Still though, Adger says that, "We'll get plenty of takers for what we're offering."
Whether it's the challenge or the reward, one inmate, when asked why he was participating, one inmate smiled and stated, "I dunno. I just wanna try it."
In light of the lock issue at Fulton County Jail, County Commissioner Tom Lowe has been quick to say that the problem has been blown out of proportion, according to mercury News. However, not everyone agrees. Those who believe it is a big problem are saying that the bad locks are putting inmates at risk of being attacked by other prisoners.

Letter: Scheduling wrestling at church time's shortsighted, he says
TO THE EDITOR: On Feb. 13, the Ellsworth Athletic Group had a wrestling tournament at the high school.
Weigh-in times were from 7 until 9:30 a.m. and the matches followed. Why did this need to be scheduled on a Sunday morning? For hundreds of years, Sunday mornings has been the traditional time of family worship at church. Why could it not wait until Sunday afternoon?
In a time where the family structure is under pressure, why do allow the institution of the church, which is dedicated to the family, become second fiddle to a wrestling tournament? I think this shows extreme shortsightedness on the organizers and, based on tradition, is just plain wrong. There was a time when schools wouldn't schedule anything on Wednesday nights due to religious studies; now, Sunday mornings aren't even sacred.
I fully expect several rebuttals because I know how important wrestling is to this area, but the truth is both can be served and these kids can have balance athletically and spiritually with just a little more foresight from the organizers.

Smaragdlibel (Cordulia aenea)
• Scientific name: Cordulia aenea (Linnaeus, 1758)
• English name: Downy Emerald
• German name: Falkenlibelle
• French name: Cordulie bronzée
• Dutch name: Smaragdlibel
• Swedish name: Guldtrollslända
• Norwegian name: Smaragdøyenstikker
• Finnish name: Vaskikorento
• Danish name: Grøn smaragdlibel
• Italian name: Smeralda bronzea
• Czech name: lesklice měděná
• Slovenian name: Močvirski lebduh
• Bulgarian name: Мъхеста зеленка
• Typical length: 47-55 mm
• Hindwing: 29-35 mm
The Downy Emerald (Cordulia aenea) is the only species of its genus in Europe. It's a relatively common species in Central and Northern Europe species, but very rare in the British Isles, Northern Sweden and Norway, and the Mediterranean basin. Its downiness presumably helps explain its early flight (i.e. early in the year as well as early in the day). The territorial males inspect the water's edge looking for ovipositing females, alternating swift flight with brief hovering. Those females tend to betray their presence (at least to the human observer) by the rustling of their wings in the dense vegetation while they lay their eggs. Cordulia aenea's distinguishing features include the bronze (rather than green-metallic) colour of the abdomen, the dark yellow patches at the wing bases, the male's clubbed abdomen (broadest at S7-8), the large white patch on the underside of the female's S3, and the absence of the long vulvar scale typical of the female Brilliant (or Balkan) Emerald.

Have used Dialaflight several times and always find they do what is asked. They are always prompt and are willing to do any extra organising ,they come up with competitive quotes - I like to do some research myself !! I like the reminders they send, always useful if you carry an iPad or iPhone .We travel quite a lot and deal with package tour operators/airlines and some of the other big travel companies but Dialaflight seem to come over as more personal and interested, being a mature customer I value this. I feel happy that if there was a problem I could count on their help!

Inbox: What does future hold for Ludwick?
Inbox: What does future hold for Ludwick?
-- Ryan O., San Marcos, Calif.
I still think it's Ludwick in left field to open the season. It's tough for the Padres to try to convince free-agent position players to come to spacious PETCO Park. This was a big reason why the Padres traded for Ludwick in the first place last July, because he would be under team control for 2011. I think he put a lot of pressure on himself after being traded. I think he'll be better in 2011. As for Cunningham, he hit better with the Padres (.288) than he did in Triple-A (.251) and the Padres aren't sure why. They like what he has to offer: doubles power, athletic and a good defender. I think that he starts the season in Triple-A so that he can play every day. Beyond that, we'll see.
Now that pitcher Jon Garland is off the market, will the Padres try to find an innings-eater through a trade rather than free agency?
-- Jacob W., La Jolla, Calif.
Now that the Padres have addressed a need by trading for outfielder Cameron Maybin, the team will look to fill its other needs this winter, like finding a pitcher (or possibly two) to complete the rotation. Ideally, San Diego would like to find someone like Garland, someone capable of making 30-plus starts and throwing 200 innings. However, those guys aren't easy to find. The starting pitching market isn't real deep this winter, but I think there are some possibilities out there for the Padres. Acquiring a pitcher who can prove to be durable and dependable through trade won't be easy; the Padres don't have many top-level Minor League players to move in a deal right now. Keep an eye on the free-agent market, especially after the start of the year.
I would like to see the Padres sign Jason Varitek to be the backup catcher and also to tutor Nick Hundley. Varitek has a lot of experience and knows how to win. He would also be a good clubhouse leader and I think he can still help with the bat. What are your thoughts?
-- Charles A., Naugatuck, Conn.
Have a question about the Padres?
E-mail your query to MLB.com Padres beat reporter Corey Brock for possible inclusion in a future Inbox column. Letters may be edited for brevity, length and/or content.
Interesting thought, Charles, especially since general manager Jed Hoyer has ties with Varitek from his days with the Red Sox. I still think there's a good chance the Red Sox re-sign Varitek, especially since they could use someone to help their own young catcher in Jarrod Saltalamacchia, who figures to be the starter now that Victor Martinez has signed with the Tigers. But you're right, I think he would be a nice fit here. Varitek appeared in 39 games last season and would need to catch more than that here. Also, I don't know if Hundley needs as much, for lack of a better term, hand-holding anymore. I think he's benefited well from Henry Blanco and Yorvit Torrealba the last two seasons and learning under one of the best, former bench coach Ted Simmons.
I hope the Padres find a way to keep David Eckstein. That would make my day and probably more fans' as well. I truly enjoy watch him play. He's just flat-out awesome. He has great hands and speed at second and is a wonderful leader on the team.
-- Jim N., Lakeside, Calif.
The Padres opted not to offer Eckstein arbitration last week, though that doesn't mean he can't or won't return in 2011. The Padres certainly have some holes to fill in the middle of the diamond (shortstop, second base) but could circle back to Eckstein later -- if he's still available -- this winter. The Padres don't have any top-level Minor League players ready to step in and fill these spots, so they'll continue to look for players who can play in the middle of the infield. I think there's a chance Jerry Hairston Jr. could return as a utilityman, but the priority will be finding players who can play shortstop and/or second base on an everyday basis.
What is going to happen to Tony Gwynn now that we have traded for Maybin? Does he become a backup outfielder?
-- Joann L., San Diego
I think Gwynn still holds tremendous value for the Padres as an extra outfielder and I think there will be a place for him on the 25-man roster come Opening Day. Gwynn struggled offensively in 2010, hitting .204 in 289 at-bats. Where his value is comes on defense, where his UZR (ultimate zone rating) was 13.6, which ranked among the top outfielders in the National League. And given the Padres play half of their games at PETCO Park, with its spacious outfield, it's important to have someone capable of covering a lot of ground and playing plus-defense. The Padres hopes Maybin can accomplish as much. They already know Gwynn can.
When will the Padres increase their payroll and what will it be in 2011? I heard that they were planning on increasing the payroll and I feel that realistically it's hard to be very competitive with teams that have payrolls two and three times as high.
-- Alex L., Oakland
The Padres won 90 games with a payroll just shy of $38 million. Hoyer has said since the end of the regular season that the payroll will increase slightly and that number will "begin with a four." Your point is well taken that it's certainly tough for teams to compete with, say, the Yankees and Red Sox, the high-payroll teams in the game. But, as mentioned before, the Padres came within one victory of the postseason with a team that ranked above only the Pirates in payroll. But doing this year after year won't be easy. The Padres hit on nearly every one of their free-agent signings of a year ago (Garland, Torrealba and Hairston). CEO Jeff Moorad has said that the payroll will increase over time.

'Queen of the Ball' relives 1948 honor after find
Workers air conditioning the 75-year-old Rockdale Elementary gym stumbled onto yet another piece of town history last week when they uncovered " ballot boxes" from a 1948 election.
Truman and Dewey? Not quite, but it was a contest that's still fondly remembered by a longtime Rockdale resident.
Roberta (Henry) Pounders was elected 1948 RHS Halloween Carnival Queen. Her "coronation" was the night of Oct. 30 at the carnival, held in that very gym.
Thomas Dansby, general contractor, stumbled across a dustcovered box in a virtually hidden room above the gym stage, a companion room to one in which long forgotten athletic equipment was discovered several weeks previously. (Reporter, July 21.)
"I opened it up and there were old jars with the names of some girls taped onto them," he said. "A nd there was another box which had a long cape kind of a thing with a gold foil-covered collar."
It was the queen's "train," the one worn by Roberta Henry 63 years ago.
CANDIDATES—In addition to Henry, names on the jars were Wray Stallworth, Kittie Joyce Williams, Mary Wanda Whitworth, Bobbie Jean Curlee and Juanita Gest.
But Dansby isn't from Rockdale, and is part of a much younger generation. He was interested in finding out what the newest discovery was but didn't know how to proceed.
"I looked up some of the names on the Internet but all I could find is that some of them were deceased," he said.
That changed when Reporter editor Mike Brown dropped by to take the photo that's at the top of the front page.
Dansby showed Brown his find. Brown recognized the name and called Mrs. Pounders, who lives a block and a half from the gym.
She came to the gym and brought a scrapbook from her high school years.
PENNIES—"I didn't know how to react when I heard about what t hey had found," Mrs. Pounders said. "I guess I got a little emotional."
"Who would have ever guessed those things would still be there?" she asked. "And, undisturbed after all those years!"
Mrs. Pounders held the "ballot jars" in her hands and reminisced.
"I believe these were placed out in the community, in various places and people voted by dropping pennies in them," she said. "They might have even had our pictures taped to the jars at one time."
"I know a lot of the kids from the school voted," she recalled. "I'm sure that's why that made it a penny a vote. Back then all we would have had was our lunch money. If we had any change from that it was going to be in pennies."
She won and got to be "coronated" at the ball.
CROWNS—"That Halloween Ball was a pretty big deal back then," Mrs. Pounders recalled. "The queen got to choose the king and I picked James Caffey."
"We were so excited that when they took our photo that night, we somehow put on each other's crowns. You can look at it and see the crown James is wearing is a couple of sizes too small!"
But the train was the glamorous touch for a small-town girl.
"It stretched out behind me and we had a couple of small children as ' train bearers' to pick it up and follow me, like you see in those royal weddings," she said.
"My train bearers were Mary Richards and Graham Kyle Jr.," she recalled. "Except I seem to remember when it came time for the 'coronation' one of them got a little scared by the crowd, and all the commotion and wouldn't do it."
PAGEANTRY—Mrs. Pounders was on the money in recalling how large an event the Halloween carnival was.
The Reporter's coverage noted the 1948 event was the largest one in school history with 140 persons par ticipating in the "beautiful and dramatic" coronation which featured elaboratelygowned "ladies in waiting," plus duchesses and flower girls.
Winner of the queen balloting was not announced until 10 minutes before the crowning to build suspense.
After the queen and king were seated on thrones they were entertained by a command performance of 14 folk dancers and six tap dancers.
The rest of the mammoth carnival, featuring games and food, followed the coronation.
MORE VOTES—That was on a Saturday night.
Three days later the people of Rockdale had another little ballot to help decide.
You guessed it. Truman vs. Dewey.

Cole Corner: Childrens Choice Award books availableSeptember 28, 2013 · Cathy Boggs
The purpose of the award is to encourage children to read more books, to be discriminating readers choosing worthwhile books to read, to provide an avenue for discussions between teachers, parents, and children about books and authors, and finally to recognize the writers who are writing quality books for children.
At Cole Library we order these titles in an effort to support the schools and families who are participating. We hope that both parents and children will check out these books to read and talk about. You can even have a family vote to see what title you think should be the next Iowa Children's Choice Book. Get involved and get reading - it can be a family affair.

Haha! I totally get what you're saying. I love how analytical you are... There were some people I used to work with (in self-awareness workshops) who used to say that everyone has this kind of automatic reaction, where we basically say, "Don't tell me what to do!" It is part of the pattern of rebellion we learn at an early age, in order to individuate and define ourselves as autonomous people. We just haven't realized that we can let go of that automatic response, as it is no longer necessary to rebel in every situation. But what I find funny is that we even say that to ourselves when there is something WE want to do ourselves. We make a commitment or put something on our To Do list and then we feel boxed in -- even if we really want to do these things -- and then we tell ourselves, "No, you can't make me do it!" And often we find some way to get out of doing it, because honoring our need for rebellion means more to us (subconsciously) than doing the thing we actually truly want to do. Or we get over that rebellious initial reaction and go have ourselves a good time. It's just a pattern, like a broken record that plays again and again. The more we notice it, the better able we can let go of it (so that it can be more of a choice if we actually do want to rebel because it's appropriate, rather than being at the mercy of our own unconscious reactions). Hahahaha, people are so funny.
The world opens up... when you do.

Thanks NyCindie and Cleo, good to know that apparently it's not just me who's hit by this kind of irrationality from time to time.
I've got so many things I'm happy about right now. Totally overwhelmed by joy, in fact.
Alec starting work has brought two really big benefits:
- our financial situation is expected to slowly recover and I no longer feel that constant stress and fear
- we get along sooooo much better now that we are not constantly stressed out and he is not bored out of his mind etc. shocker, huh?
Other things:
- My studies are going very well and I'm enjoying the hell out of them
- I was talking with Mya and we both feel our relationship is totally amazing. We are getting loads out of it and, though more time would be a bonus, don't feel we are missing anything. Plus, I'm meeting her today, yay!
- There's been a tough work situation with a colleague for a while, and yesterday I finally managed to communicate it properly to my boss. While I don't know what the consequences will be, I feel so much better for having been taken seriously and for getting it off my chest. And at least there's now hope that something will be done about it.
- I'll soon have a month-long break from the University, and also some time off from work (perhaps even a couple of weeks). Perfection!
There's this one conversation type that me and rory have quite often and I'd like to share it. The subject is usually something that is emotional or triggering to one or both of us. We're both rational and emotional at the same time, and so are our conversations. They usually start with a disclaimer: "There's this emotional reaction that I'd like to talk about, but I want you to know it's not something I rationally think." Then we talk about that emotional trigger, which sometimes triggers something else in the other person as well. Quite often we cry. But at some point we move on to the rational side of it. How should we deal with this emotional reaction, if it's something neither of us wants to listen really, because it doesn't make sense and/or it's not something we want to live by.
Sometimes we question whether it's a good thing that we talk about every little detail of our emotional worlds. Even the silliest ones that we don't want influencing our decisions. But every single time we've come to the conclusion that it is a good thing for us. It satisfies the need for analysis that's strong in both of us, and it's also a way to get to know each other on a very deep level. Maybe then it wouldn't be a good idea if the conversations led to fighting or severe misunderstandings. But for us this communication method is really worth it, even though it's not always the easy way.
(delurking after a long break)
I think this sounds really wonderful! You sound so well matched :-)
And to me it makes so much sense that you would feel better from having the conversations, both because you get to know and understand each other, and also because you're not having to hide your reactions to the triggers or keep the feelings around them cooped up, which just adds another layer of burden to the feelings.
It is sometimes strange to be so completely open in a relationship. I think the reason I often go to "should I have even talked about this at all?" is because it goes against some cultural norms. Culturally, you are supposed to shield your partner from pain. You shouldn't hurt your partner. There's the exception, that if it's something super important, you may need to talk about it even if their feelings might get hurt. But you're expected to do this balancing between importance and shielding. This norm is visible in various questions people ask. "Should I tell my new boyfriend he has bad breath?"; "Can I let my wife know after 5 years that I don't really enjoy her blowjobs?"; "My partner and I have been together for 10 years and I'd like to have sex with somebody else; is it worth it to talk about an open relationship?"...
It feels like you're being selfish when you don't balance and, instead, talk about stuff regardless of how important it is and despite suspecting hearing it will hurt your partner. But there's also something very honest and intimate about it. I think it works in our dynamic, because we have very similar ways of communicating and analysing things.
Thanks for your comment, wildflowers!
Okay, dating. I have quite a few dates coming up. Well, they're not all dates in the romantic sense, but I don't know what else to call them. Anyway, I'm going to meet some people in the near future to see if there's potential for friendship and maybe more. But honestly I could really use more friends in Dream City, I don't have that many here anymore (many of them have moved away). So whatever the outcome, I'm glad to have a bit of a social life. I'm meeting two guys this week and two girls next month. They are four individuals, I made it sound like I was meeting two couples. I like the idea of meeting new people.
Edited to add: I just got another date for next month. Oh my, my life's getting busy! I like it.

I'm going to Home Country for Christmas, I'm spending 9 days there. That will be fun, getting to see friends and family again. I'm going to see Bob as well, and you know what? The benefits part of our friendship is now gone. We just chatted a bit and he mentioned that I'm going to sleep on the couch this time. Yes, he is now seeing someone. I feel weird. Obviously I'm happy for him, I know that's what he wanted. I'm also a bit relieved, which is a surprising feeling. I mean maybe our friendship gets better with this, because the sex and especially the intimacy caused some different reactions in both of us and led to difficult conversations over and over again. Maybe now we can just enjoy each other's company? But also there is a bit of sadness. It's an end of an era, although not a very long era, but anyway.
Today was one of the "dates" I mentioned. I think this guy in particular is mainly looking for friends. I'm not sure, he said he doesn't fully identify as poly, but does conceptually. He doesn't mention anything about an open relationship either in his profile. So I'll just assume we're not going to be more than friends. But oh boy, he was sooo cool! I really enjoyed his company, he made me laugh and we have very much in common. Like I said, I could really use more friends here, so I'm going to be really happy if this works out and we'll become friends.
Tonight I met the bi guy from the poly meetup. We had such a good time and there was some flirting going on. This is the second time I saw him and.. I think I really like him. He is so wonderfully feminine and I absolutely adore that! He's also very open about who he is and how he likes to express his feminine side. That is so hot. He's going to a kinky event tomorrow where he's going to dress up as a woman. I told him to send me pictures and he promised he would. Can't wait! We agreed to see each other again the next time he's in town (he doesn't live here, but visits regularly), so I think this person needs an online name. I think I'll call him...Casper.

My mom brought me this album when she visited me last week. (No, my mother does not have strange 12-string guitar obsessions or taste for independent music. Although that would be awesome. A publicist sent Alexander Turnquist's 5-song EP, Hallway of Mirrors, to my previous address.) I guess it had been in Cleveland for a while now. Last week, I put the album in my 6-CD stereo in my car. I was flipping around today, trying to goad myself off the new My Morning Jacket album for a hot second.
Is goad a word? Let's pretend it is and move on.
This instrumental EP is absolutely mind-blowing in the most calming sense. It's the kind of album that screams out to you when you're driving home from work at 11pm on pitch black highways and needing to space out after listening to police scanners for 8 hours. (Wait, that's just me? Oh, right. You have normal jobs and/or are students.)
Hallway of Mirrors sparkles with cinematic greatness. (Greatness in the sense of large and masterful, not Tony the Tiger "they're great"-ness.) Every song here evokes an almost overpowering feeling. The odd thing is the first adjective that came to my mind, before I even knew the EP's title, was sparkling. It's very organic sounding but also quite ornate.
The first song, "Running Towards," is curious, almost alien sounding. Sparkling spiders and cobwebs that shimmer in the night. The title track is one of those songs that makes you fantasize about having your own soundtrack. You know what I mean? Where you're like, "YES! This is the music that will follow me around for a day while someone makes a film about how tragic/brilliant/screwed up/dramatic my life is." In this case, the music has this elegance to it, yet a cluttered claustrophobia that puts you slightly on edge. I imagine myself floating around with my nose slightly turned up like a Victorian girl or smiling with a slight arrogance. (Not sure where I'm getting this impression - I swear the music is shaping it - because right now I'm recovering from surgery and my left eye is droopy and I feel anything but elegant and arrogant.)
And get this -- track 3, "Spherical Aberrations," actually made me feel like I was living on the prairie, on my way to enduring a very difficult task, such as carrying two huge buckets of water up a large hill on my way to telling the village elder that all the children are dying of malaria. (wtf? i know right?) But seriously, you have to listen to this song, and you'll understand. These songs put you into a story that you didn't even know was in your brain. Why else would I be having prairie fantasies at 12:15 on Friday morning?
Alright, so you're sick of my stories and you wanna know what this music actually sounds like? I can't explain it. Turnquist plays a 12-string guitar which is constantly being picked over like the knocked over contents of a pinata at your little cousin's birthday party. His fingers must literally be flying. And there are slight chimes that he's weaving melodically through the songs. And violin or some other string instruments adding emotion and texture to the seamless yet nonsensical compositions. No percussion, just this alien sound.
Wait. Is Turnquist a one man band? Let's google this. (I'm being very unprofessional tonight.)
I found this:
Like James Blackshaw, Jack Rose, Glenn Jones, etc, this could roughly be described as "raga" guitar, with its long, modal compositions and hypnotic overtone play.
But what in the world does that even mean? I'm not a guitar prodigy over here! Time to turn to Wikipedia.
Alexander Turnquist (born 1988 in Idaho) is an American guitarist and composer. He has released original albums on the VHF record label as well as limited released titles on the Kning Disk imprint and Textura record label. Turnquist's has had comparisons to Guitarists Jack Rose, Alex De Grassi, Kaki King, and James Blackshaw as well as contemporary composer Phillip Glass.
Turnquist's First widely released album "Faint at the Loudest Hour" (VHF Records 2007) was given high marks with an 8.2 in the Popular music review website Pitchfork [1]. His Second release with the VHF Records label "As the Twilight Crane Dreams in Color" was named the #6 out of The Silent Ballet top 50 Albums of 2009 [2].
Crap! Pitchfork found him before me! D'oh. Oh well. This guy rules. He's younger than me and he massages the guitar like it's a freakin labrador retriever. (Not sure what I mean by that, so if you do, I'm sorry.) You should check him out. (P.S. Check out the number of grammatical mistakes in that Wikipedia entry.) Goodnight.

Renita Jablonski: Here is the latest installment of beer wars. InBev, the giant Belgian brewer, has stepped up the rhetoric in its bid for giant U.S. brewer Anheuser-Busch. Stella's parent is telling Bud watch out, or it's going hostile. Stephen Beard has the latest.
Stephen Beard: InBev says it would prefer what it calls "a friendly combination." But if the St.Louis-based brewer continues to reject the bid, then InBev will pursue every avenue to win control. That means a direct appeal to Anheuser-Busch's shareholders.
Some of them are clearly receptive to InBev's $46.3 billion offer. Two shareholders groups have now filed lawsuits against the A-B board. One of them, filed last Friday, accuses the board of unfairly rejecting the bid. It claims the board is failing in its duty to look after the interest of its shareholders.
InBev's offer of $65 a share is 35 percent higher than the share price before the bid.
In London, this is Stephen Beard for Marketplace.

SAVAGE-L ArchivesArchiver > SAVAGE > 1998-11 > 0912407934
From: Ray Hedberg <>
Subject: [SAVAGE-L] Savage # 1 - Sir Roland Savage down through Levin Savage
Date: Sun, 29 Nov 1998 23:38:54 -0700
Rollcall response - The following is note # 1 of 3.
The following is an excerpt of a draft of a paper I am preparing on the
ancestors of my
wife's grandmother Ada Flossie Savage who is descended from Levin
Savage. I apologize
for its length however I suspect a number of the Savage-Rootsweb readers
will find it
interesting and I would also appreciate any comments, correction or
Identification of the ancestors of Levin Savage has been elusive for
some time. In 1990 a
genealogy researcher, Mary Frances Carey, did extensive analysis of the
wills and court
records of Virginia and documented the conclusion that the brother of
Levin Savage was
Robinson Savage and their father was Captain Rowland Savage - born in
Virginia ca.
1725. Once this connection was made it led to the unraveling of prior
Savage generations
as presented below. The five main sources for information on the Savage
lineage are: a
19xx family history book written by Gladys Ingram, a 1997 family
history book written by
Donita Morris- Rich, the above mentioned research done in 1990 by the
genealogy researcher Mary Frances Carey, a 1986 paper written by Hazel
M. Savage
(granddaughter of Alvin E. and Malinda Savage), and my own research in
1997 and 1998.
In the book "The Ancient and Noble Family of the Savage's of the Ards";
Le Sieur Thomas
Savage came to England from Normandy (France) in the Norman Conquest of
1066 with
William the Conqueror. His descendants were Sir Willam Le Savage and
his brother
Richard Le Savage who in 1177 participated in the conquest of Ulster and
settled in the
"Ards" in County Down, (Northern) Ireland. Descended from one of these
was Sir Roland
Savage, Knight of Ulster, whose grandson was Sir Rowland Savage. In the
1620's Sir
Rowland Savage built two castles in Ireland (one was Killyleagh
Castle). In his will in
1640, he gave his two castles to his sons Rowland Savage and John
Savage. The middle
1600's was a time of great political and religious unrest and local wars
between the
Protestants and Catholics in Ireland. According to Gladys Ingram, John
and Rowland, as
Irish Protestants, were among those outlawed from Ireland for trying to
protect their
property from the raids of the Catholic armies; Rowland and John then
left Ireland and
according to Ingram may or may not have migrated to America. There is a
record of a
John Savage being granted a patent for land in Accomac County, Virginia
in 1663.
Accomack County is on the eastern side of Chesapeake Bay; it is the
peninsula which
drops down from present day Maryland and is surrounded on three sides by
water. Long
before the first white settlers arrived the native American Indians
called the Eastern Shore
by the name Accawmacke---meaning the "across the water place".
Accawmacke was
settled very early by the English and the Indians on the Eastern Shore
were friendly. The
word Chesapeake is the modern English spelling of the Indian term for
"great water". To
the early settlers, this "great water" made for easier travel than
trying to go by land into the
interior of Virginia. The original shire of Accomac was created in 1634
and covered the
entire Eastern Shore. The name of the shire was changed to Northampton
in 1642 as part
of an effort by the English to eliminate "heathen" names in the
colonies. In 1671, the
General Assembly of Virginia re-created Accomac County; the spelling
officially became
Accomack in 1940.
Rowland Savage the Immigrant came to Virginia from Northern Ireland
after first
spending some time in the Barbados Islands. He was granted a Land
Patent in Accomack
County, Virginia in 1666. A land patent was title to a piece of land
received from the
Governor of Virginia. Rowland was also granted a patent on 500 acres on
24 Apr 1703
which had reverted to the State of Virginia ownership from a Richard
Hopkins (who was
deceased without heirs). In Virginia sometime before 1677 Rowland
married a Mary Huitt.
The will of her father Robert Huitt (or Huit) who died in 1677 gives
Rowland Savage 300
acres of land in Pungoteague and 200 acres to Mary Huitt (it is surmised
that Rowland
Savage's wife was either the daughter or sister of Robert Huitt). The
will of Robert Huitt
also identifies this Rowland Savage as the same one having been granted
a patent on land
in Accomac County, Virginia in 1666. Rowland Savage amassed considerable
holdings in Virginia in the years 1666 to 1709. He was the owner of the
Plantation in Accomack County, Virginia. Rowland's will is dated 1709 -
he died in 1717.
Rowland Savage the Immigrant and his wife Mary had 9 children: Francis,
Roland, William, Charles, Robert, John, Mary and Patience.
Richard Savage received 1/3 of his father's plantation when his father
died. In early
Virginia the term "plantation" was used to describe the huge farms
which existed. These
plantations were staffed by many workers, some coming from England as
criminals. In England an alternative to jail was that the prisoner could
go to the new world
and serve as laborers for some number of years to pay back the
plantation owners expense
in bringing them to America. To encourage growth these plantation owners
would be
granted additional lands for transporting more laborers to Virginia.
Richard Savage
married and had 9 children:
Francis, Richard, Rowland, John, Mary Dix, Tabitha, Elizabeth, Michal or
Michelle, and
John Savage, born ca. 1700, received the majority of the Matchepugo
Plantation when his
father Richard died. John Savage, in addition to owning the plantation,
was a surveyor and
many parcels of land in Accomack and other counties in Virginia show his
name as the
surveyor. John's personal land holdings were many square miles of the
Virginia peninsula
and included what is now the town of Keller, Virginia (1998 population
of _____). John
and his wife Rachel had 5 children: Rowland, Robert, William, Patience,
and Margaret.
Rowland Savage, born about 1725, became known as Captain Rowland Savage;
it is not
certain whether he is the same Captain Rowland Savage who fought in the
French and
Indian War (1754-1763). Captain Rowland Savage had 4 children: Levin
[born ca. 1750],
Kendal, Babel, and Robinson.
Captain Rowland Savage died in 1785 and in his will left most of his
land holding to his
youngest son Robinson. This is somewhat unusual since the eldest would
usually inherit;
the will does not mention Levin who had left Virginia before 1775 and
moved to North
Levin Savage was born about 1750 in Accomack County, Virginia; nothing
is known of
his life in Virginia. He apparently migrated to North Carolina prior to
1775 when he was
named as a creditor in a North Carolina estate settlement. In 1803 Levin
Savage, of North
Carolina, was co-named in a Virginia law suit where he and a brother
Robinson Savage
were sued as "tenants in possession of two plantations, two gardens, and
150 acres of
land" in Accomack County, Virginia. The suit was resolved in favor of
the Savage
brothers and Robinson Savage retained the land in Virginia.
In the American Revolutionary War Levin served in the North Carolina
Line participating
in the expedition against the Overhill Cherokee Indians and Chief
Dragging Canoe. In
various records his name is spelled as Levin, Leven, Lavin and even
Eleven. In his pension
application he stated that he "joined the company under Capt. Poindexter
(3 or 4 weeks);
marched to Long Island in the Holston River where he joined the army
under General
Christie - then marched to the Cherokee Nation burnt towns of Chilhowee
and Chola - was
discharged by Capt. Mosby Dec 1776 - again entered the army March 1778,
three months
under Capt. Spear - was a guard (at the) Tory Prison at Salisbury [North
Carolina] until
June 1778 - was discharged by Capt. Spear - again entered the army in
July 1780, General
Gates, defeat[ed] Aug 1780 - discharged as a Private - [in the West
Tennessee area]."
The book "The History of the Cherokee Indians" describes these battles
and the activities
of Chief Dragging Canoe; he and two other Indian chiefs were allies of
the British and with
over 700 Indians planned to attack the settlements in Virginia, North
Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia simultaneously. Information from an Indian
sympathizer allowed the
settlers to prepare for the battles and the settlers defeated Chief
Dragging Canoe and the
other two Indian chiefs.North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina and
Virginia sent 6400
men against the Cherokees in retaliation for these attacks; they
destroyed their crops and
burned 50 of the Cherokee towns; the Cherokee then signed treaties
leaving their lands
forever and moved to Tennessee. Levin has the DAR identification No.
In 1780 Levin received a 100 acre land grant "on the waters of Cabbin
branch" in North
Carolina for $12.50; he sold 92 acres in 1792 for $200. In 1802 he
received a second grant
of 200 acres "on Dill's Creek" for the same $12.50; later in the same
year he sold half for
$50 and then the rest for $107.25. He is shown in the 1790 census as
living in Salisbury
County in North Carolina. Levin and his family were faithful adherents
to the Baptist faith
and among his descendants there were a number of ministers. In November
1804 Levin
and others formed a new church at Providence in Surrey County, North
About 1807 Levin sold the last of his land in North Carolina and moved
to Tennessee /
Kentucky on a land grant of 141 acres that he had received on MacFarland
Creek. Levin
Savage and his family are shown in the 1810 census in Burkesville,
Cumberland County,
Kentucky. The county boundaries and the boundary between the states of
Kentucky and
Tennessee moved around considerably in the years after he settled there.
It is probable that
Levin never actually moved but that his land was at different times
"re-boundaried" into 3
different counties (Cumberland, Overton, and Jackson,) in two states
(Kentucky and
Tennessee). At the time of his application for a pension in 1833, Levin
was described as
"old and very infirm ... illiterate .. can neither read nor write." This
lack of education was
apparently no handicap in his earlier "wheeling and dealing" for land
while living in North
Carolina. On 13 May 1833 when he applied for a Revolutionary War
veteran's pension
Levin was living in Jackson County, Kentucky; his pension is No. 26795
(S3849). Where
he lived then is now in Clay County, Tennessee close to the town of
Celina, Tennessee
where he was a member of the Pleasant Run Baptist church - it was
disolved in 1844.
Levin Savage died in 1837; he is believed to be buried in Coe / Stone
Cemetery which is
now in Clay County about 1.5 miles west of Celina, TN on Proctor Creek
about .25 miles

Multiple sources produce a confusing picture of Levin's wife(s) and
children;. Combining
multiple sources Levin appears to have had 16 children:
Eli Savage [ca. 1776]
William Savage [ca. 1777]
Littleberry Savage [before 1779]
Jessee Savage [before 1780]
Hamilton Savage [1781]
Jerusha Savage [1782]- (Mrs. William Warden)
Sarah Savage [about 1784]
Kendal Savage1784]
Randall Savage [1786]
John Savage [1787]
George Savage [1788]
Levin S. Savage [1789]
James Savage [1790]
Elizabeth Savage [1799]
Mary Polly Savage[1799]
Peter Savage[1801]
It is most unlikely for one wife to bear all of these children over
a 25 year period,
particularly considering the gap of 9 years between 1790 and 1799 when
no children were
born. It is most likely that he was married 2, 3 or more times and had
children with
different wives. One source shows his marriage in 1772 to Mary Sarah
Martin (or Polly
which is a nickname for Mary); another source gives an 1814 marriage to
Elizabeth and a
third source shows his wife as Sarah Elizabeth Martin who died in
Tennessee in 1832 at
age 82. It is not unusual for the last name for two wives to be the same
(Martin); frequently
after a wife died the widower would marry a sister of the wife; possibly
herself widowed.

I figure ill just get straight into it, my original wiis graphics card is playing up so it was cheaper for me to purchase a new wii than to send it in too get it repaired. Now the issue I have is there is a considerable ammount of data on my original wii that wont transfer over via the normal sd card system so my question is this. Can I make a complete copy of my original wiis internal memory and place it in my new wii? Ive looked online and havent really found a large ammount so I was hoping you guys could help me out because I dont really want to send it in to Nintendo who will charge me for the privlage.
Thanks in Advance

Title: Split Decisions
Rating & Warnings: G, none
Word Count: 329
Summary: Flynn Rider made two lifesaving decisions the day he met her.
*Split Decisions*
Oh, he was in deep.
If he was not careful, he'd lose life.
He'd meticulously planned the heist, but he hadn't planned the escape. He had not considered this part. Perhaps it was because he had not been entirely confident he would succeed. It was a new point of entry. No one had thought of approaching the target from the summit. Perhaps it was because he had been blinded by the enormous potential payoff. The allure had been too much for him to resist, for him to think clearly. He would be exorbitantly rich. He had considered the obvious risks, but he hadn't considered the hidden ones. There were two of them.
Now those risks were coming to fruition. He was outnumbered. They were brutes and they considerably out muscled him. Soon they would realize he had outlived his usefulness. He'd have to double-cross them.
He had only wanted his fair share of the spoils, but it was now all or nothing. They were quickly approaching a dead end.
He'd have to outwit them, he had no choice.
"All right, okay, give me a boost, and I'll pull you up."
Oh, he was in deep.
If he was not careful, he'd lose himself.
He'd only agreed to take her to see the lanterns so he could get his satchel back.
Now they were trapped. They were entombed in a cold, dark cavern. Their situation was growing increasingly hopeless with each passing moment. Soon they would be submerged.
He had only wanted his satchel, but it now seemed inconsequential. He had started to shiver and she had started cry. He had gotten her into this mess and she was apologizing to him. He had to do something. They were about to die, but more importantly he needed to do something, anything to cheer her up, to ease her suffering.
He'd tell her the truth, he owed her that much.
"My real name is Eugene Fitzherbert."
AN1: For the most part, I'm trying to keep these updates in chronological order. I didn't do it for this one because I wanted to juxtapose these two scenes. Hope it wasn't too confusing.
AN2: I'm also working on a modern AU called Inked. You can find it in the "M" section (only some chapters are M rated).

"He had me lean over the back of the chair and hold onto it with my hands underneath the seat. He hit me once and I cried. He let me be for a while. Then he said, 'If you don't hurry up and move your hands, I'll break your finger.' By the fourth or fifth time I didn't feel it anymore, but each time it was hard enough to move my chair forward."
"We've got a lot of supply so that's putting Treasuries onto a bearish footing. People aren't expecting a good result from the auction and in the short term yields can push higher."
"They were stealing change and CDs, maybe some credit cards, when they stumbled onto these things. I imagine it opened their eyes up a little bit."
"Young people often follow their 4-H interests into a major and onto a career. We're looking for examples like that."
"After Ashanti Jones hit that game winning shot the stands emptied onto the floor. It was like we had won the state championship. It was great."
"It has been a great adventure to get onto the summit of this hill. I know we went there for science reasons but nonetheless (for) the people that drive the rover every day it's been a journey of exploration. Every day that we come in and drive we see images that came down (to Earth). It's a new vista, something that people have never seen before. After doing that for 591 sols, you really get the feeling that you're on Mars yourself."
"We've got to understand when we do get a turnover, you've got to either make something happen or hold onto the ball until you can make something happen."
"You have got to educate people, and you need to enforce existing laws, so that people do not intrude onto grade crossings and that people are more careful as they approach grade crossings,"

Smoking's bad, no doubt about it. It's bad for your health, it smells bad and it can leave an ugly mess in its wake. That said, a proposal that the city of Redmond consider banning smoking in some spots outdoors surely goes too far.
Smokers already have been driven from the workplace, from restaurants, from just about every public indoor space around. Soon, they will not be able to smoke in their own cars if their children are present. While we wish everyone who smokes would quit, we recognize that it remains a legal activity and, as such, people must be allowed to do it somewhere.
Redmond officials say they're considering the ban, which might apply to some parks and downtown streets, in part because members of the public favor the idea and in part because of the mess smokers leave behind. Being the city employee or the volunteer charged with picking cigarette butts out of planters and off the ground is no fun, but it does raise a question.
Does the city have adequate ashtrays available on sidewalks and parks to make proper disposal of smoking materials convenient? If it doesn't, then it effectively gives smokers no choice but to litter when the cigarette break is done.
There's also some concern from merchants that smokers will linger in doorways and smoke will drift into their businesses. Oregon law already makes it illegal to smoke within 10 feet of the entrance to most business establishments, from restaurants to retail outlets to office buildings, however.
We agree that banning smoking in some areas would cut the number of smokers in those areas. Most people abide by the rules. We also believe that smoking bans during times of high fire danger make sense.
But for rule breakers, a smoking ban is likely to be a law without enforcement. Redmond police are busy enough without having to go after scofflaw smokers.
Make sure there are ashtrays available, yes. Post signs about smoking in doorways, yes. But a flat-out ban is too extreme.

The Indians may have filled one of their bullpen openings.
The club is close to signing free agent reliever Chad Durbin to a one-year contract. Durbin will report to the team's training camp in Goodyear, Ariz., for a physical today.
ESPN.com reported that Durbin has agreed to a $800,000 deal and can make another $1 million in incentives.
The Indians were one of several teams, including the Red Sox, who were interested in the 33-year-old righthander, who spent the past three seasons with the Phillies. He went 4-1 with a 3.80 ERA in 64 games as a key contributor last season for the National League East champions.
Durbin, an ex-starter, pitched for the Indians in 2003 and 2004.
Torre hired As expected, commissioner Bud Selig hired Joe Torre as Major League Baseball's executive vice president for baseball operations.
Selig made the long-anticipated announcement before the dedication of the new spring facility for the Diamondbacks and Rockies in Scottsdale, Ariz.
In what Selig called "a critical appointment,'' the 70-year-old Torre will oversee major league operations, on-field discipline, umpiring, and other areas. He also said Torre would be one of baseball's representatives to general managers and field managers.
Torre won four World Series titles with the Yankees during a 29-year career as a manager. He retired after last season following three years with the Dodgers.
He played parts of 18 seasons in the majors, with nine All-Star appearances. He was the National League's MVP in 1971, when he led the league with a .363 average for the Cardinals.
Cabrera works out Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera may play his first spring game tomorrow against the Yankees following his Feb. 16 arrest on a charge of drunken driving. Manager Jim Leyland said Cabrera had an "excellent'' workout yesterday under first base coach Tom Brookens's guidance at spring camp in Lakeland, Fla., but, "I don't want to get second-guessed [about playing Cabrera too soon].'' . . . Righthander Edinson Volquez will miss the Reds' spring training opener because of visa problems. Volquez was scheduled to start today against the Indians. Reds manager Dusty Baker already has picked Volquez as his Opening Day starter . . . Shortstop Elvis Andrus was among six players who agreed to terms on 2011 contracts with the Rangers . . . The Twins agreed to terms with pitcher Brian Duensing and 20 other players . . . Royals righthander Henry Barrera received good news after an MRI of his aching elbow detected no structural damage. Barrera threw only three pitches in an intrasquad game Friday before walking off the mound with pain.
Ramirez debuts Evan Longoria and Sean Rodriguez homered to lead the Rays to a 9-5 exhibition victory over the Pirates at Port Charlotte, Fla. Manny Ramirez was 1 for 2 with a single in his debut for the Rays. Ramirez, who signed a $2 million, one-year contract with the American League East champions, was greeted by a nice round of applause from a crowd of 5,689. He singled off righthander Charlie Morton in the second inning and left the game after he flied to right field in the fourth. "It feels good. Before the game I was kind of nervous,'' said Ramirez, who will get some playing time in left field tomorrow when the Rays will host Pittsburgh again. "I'm excited. Every year, you've got something to prove.'' . . . Right fielder Nate Schierholtz hit a two-run triple and the Giants used back-to-back four-run innings to spoil the spring managerial debut of Don Mattingly and beat a Dodgers split squad, 8-3, in Glendale, Ariz. Third baseman Pablo Sandoval, who dropped 38 pounds over the winter, hit the Giants' first homer of the spring, a two-run shot to right in the fourth . . . Former Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, who died last July at the age of 80, was honored before New York's spring home opener in Tampa.

One team is seeking perfection to go along with a state title. The other is looking for its third consecutive state championship. Tallahassee Rickards is the only team in the state that can claim a perfect season to this point. Fort Lauderdale Pine Crest features the top player in the nation in guard Brandon Knight. Something had to give in the Class 3A Final.
Rickards' Chris Bryant opened the scoring by hitting two free throws after being fouled on the break. Pine Crest would score the next six points in the contest as Trae Henry and Tevin Westbrook each knocked down two free throws and Billy Thompson put back on offensive rebound. Jakari Busch hit a layup for Rickards but that was answered by a transition basket from Westbrook. With 3:46 remaining in the quarter, it is clear that Brandon Knight is favoring his left leg that was hurt yesterday in the semi-final. Devonte Johnson hit a three and then Bryant tossed in a nifty jump hook to bring Rickards to within one. Henry hit one of two free throws for Pine Crest but after a turnover Bryant got loose for a transition basket and after one quarter of play the score was tied at eleven.
Pine Crest scored the first seven points of the second quarter as Thompson scored in transition and then hit a three. This was followed by two free throws from Knight, his first points of the game. Rickards then responded with an 8-0 run of their own as Johnson hit two treys and Bush stole an errant pass and scored at the other end.

Rickards now had a 19-18 lead with 4:44 to go in the second. Pine Crest took the lead back with a three point play by Brett Buzzard. From there, Rickards went on a 10-4 run, eight of which were scored by Avery Moore on a mid-range jumper and two threes. Rickard headed into the locker room with a 29-25 halftime lead.
Knight got untracked to start the third quarter. He scored on a jumper in the lane, hit two free throws on a drive then scored in transition. However, Moore continued his hot shooting from deep, knocking down two threes. Bush scored in transition to push the lead to six before Knight hit one of two free throws. Moore again struck with a three but then Westbrook scored inside, Knight hit a free throw and then scored in transition to cut the lead to four, 42-38 with one minute left in the third. Moore was fouled on a jumper and hit two free throws for Rickards. That was followed by an offensive rebound basket by Matt Milk. With two seconds left in the quarter, Bush was fouled on the drive, hit one of two free throws and with one quarter remaining, Rickards was up 45-40.
Knight scored for Pine Crest to open up the final period. Bush again drove to the basket, was fouled, and converted one of two free throws. He missed the second but Rickards got the rebound, Bush was fouled again on a drive and this time hit two free throws. Julian Hernandez of Pine Crest hit mid-range jumper on the break and with 6:44 left Rickards had a 48-44 lead. Johnson of Rickards hit a three on the next possession. Then disaster struck for Pine Crest. Knight picked up his fourth foul driving to the basket. With Rickards now in the bonus, they decided to pull the ball out and use their speed and quickness to shorten the game. It was now up to Pine Crest to play chase. They weren't up to it.
Rickards either scored at the rim or knocked down free throws while was unable to score but two Knight free throws. With one minute to play, Knight committed his fifth foul. It was a disappointing end to an otherwise tremendous career. A close game with one quarter left to play ended in a blowout as Rickards capped a perfect season with a 70-46 victory and Florida Class 3A state title.
"We got beat, plain and simple", said Pine Crest Head Coach David Beckerman. "Rickards got on a run and gained confidence. Our game plan had to change somewhat due to Brandon's injury. In fact, there was an "intense discussion" as to whether or not he would play. He said he could go so he went."
"It was frustrating to not be able to do play to the level I'm accustomed to", said Knight. "I gave it the best shot I could."
For Rickards, head coach Eli Bryant wasn't surprised at the outcome.
"We fully expected to win", said Bryant. "The only thing we are surprised by is that we ran the table. This is a great group of kids both on and off the court. The starters have a GPA over 3.0. Even Knight was at 100%, we still would have won. I have no doubt of that."
For Pine Crest, Knight led the way with 18 points. Westbrook chipped in with seven.
For Rickards, Avery Moore led the way with 23. Bush followed with 17 and Devonte Johnson had sixteen.

Actress Tika Sumper is quickly becoming one of Hollywood's most sought after leading ladies.
Last year the The New York City native graced the big screen in Tyler Perry's A Madea Christmas, and also starred in Perry's The Haves and the Have Nots, currently in it's second season on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
Sumpter currently appears alongside funnyman Kevin Hart and Ice Cube in Ride Along, which is in theaters nationwide today.
Ride Along stars say they'd be on board for sequel
In an interview with theGrio, Sumpter talked about her incredible rise to fame and also opened up about being one of the few dark-skinned leading ladies in Hollywood.
"I don't know who's portraying that dark-skinned are supposed to have this dim look on life" Sumpter said. "I've never had that, and I'm not going to start having it. I just walk in wherever I'm going as a confident woman."
