It's been 25 years since Charles Busch's outrageous play Vampire Lesbians of Sodom made him a star of Manhattan's East Village performance scene. Since that unlikely long-running sensation, Busch has channeled his obsession with Hollywood's Golden Age — and a penchant for drag — into a legendary theatrical career crowned by his Tony-nominated 2000 work The Tale of the Allergist's Wife. Now, the actor, playwright, novelist, director, and screenwriter behind campy genre parodies such as Psycho Beach Party and Die, Mommie, Die! is back off-Broadway portraying three delicious female roles in his new too-hard-to-summarize show-within-a-show sci-fi mob comedy The Third Story at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. There's no trimming this Busch as he recalls romancing costar Kathleen Turner and his other favorite divas.
Advocate.com: I spotted you in the audience of Liza's at the Palace on Broadway back in December. What did you think of the show?
Charles Busch: I thought it was thrilling. It's the kind of show business that just will not exist anymore. And I saw it under wonderful circumstances. I remember I was 13 and at sleep-away camp when Judy Garland was at the Palace the last time, so I was devastated that I had to miss it, but my aunt sent me the clippings from all the papers. I was the only 13-year-old at summer camp getting clippings about Judy at the Palace. Now I have this 16-year-old protégé — this young kid I've known since he was 12 — so I took him to see Liza at the Palace, which is the closest thing to Judy. It was great seeing it with him particularly. I enjoy exposing him to all sorts of cultural events. We went backstage afterward, and it was like going to see Santa Claus at Macy's: You're led into a bright red room, there's a mythical creature sitting there, you say a few words, you have your picture taken with her, and then you're ushered off.
Did Liza know your work?
Gosh, I've met Liza Minnelli maybe six times now, but I wonder if she really knows who I am. She always greets me with great enthusiasm and says, "I'm a huge fan of yours," but I'd know if she'd been at one of my shows, and I wouldn't count on her having seen Die, Mommie, Die! I think she just has very good manners.
I also noticed you chatting up Judith Light at intermission.
Judith Light was sitting in front of us by herself, so we kind of ended up being her dates for the night. She's a lot of fun.
I hope you asked for a cameo on Ugly Betty.
Well, it seems like everybody else is getting one these days.

Why work with me?
Together, we will solve. Together, we will create. Imagine your website. Flawless. Redesigned. Powerful. Results aligned with your true energy. User friendly. Simply stunning.
Where do we start?
We begin with a discovery kickoff where we dive deep into you, your organization, your brand, your goals, your products and services, your marketing strategy, your ideal clients, and the assets you already have before we ever create or build you something "better."
What is the process?
Discover -> Define -> Design -> Develop -> Deploy
How are you different from other web designers?
Our discovery process sets us up for success from the start. Jumping straight into the design process is RECKLESS, but that's where most agencies and web designers start out. Instead, our discovery is when the understanding happens. You, your biggest goals, needs, and toughest problems are revealed, prioritized, and thought through so the full scope of our mission is laid out on the table and responsibilities are clear. This is a money-saving step because without it you will likely end up missing important needs, executing half-baked ideas, or coming across issues that weren't discussed up front. Those types of problems are costly to fix in design, development, or post launch, when the cost has already been agreed upon and these vital requirements fall outside of the scope.
The Bottom Line?
Tech Expertise + In-Depth Discovery + Business Insights = Extraordinary Results
Designing to make a difference
Bring your big vision to life through the web in a powerful way with me at your side. Guiding you to the right platforms for your goals. Crafting a strategic approach to execute your next level web presence. Together we combine to create the big impact you dream about that will delight your audiences.

text: I had a conversation with a friend today who was planning on buying a new Glock and he asked my opinion. I told him to buy a Glock 30SF because the mags are already 10 round and he would probably always be able to buy them post AWB unless he planned on buying a crap load of 15/17rd "standard" mags but even if he did who knows how long the ban would last and could he afford to buy enough mags to last 20+yrs or even find that many at this point. If your in his same situation this is a serious question to consider I'm glad the OP brought it up. Also I believe it is possible this will calm down and nothing will come of it but that way of thinking is that these type of shootings will not happen again in the near future and if it does their could be some sort of EO or rush to ban, and as terrible as the idea sounds I think their will be more, I really really hope not though it is a tragedy and depressed me I have a 6 year old in about the same grade as these poor children. Also when I say more I don't necessarily mean a mass shooting because every little bit of gun violence is going to be exploited 10 fold by the liberal media and their self serving agenda trying to look like they know something or they care so much about the poor people afflicted by these tragedies it makes me sick.

Power Grid is Inherently Vulnerable to Terrorists
The U.S. electric power delivery system is vulnerable to terrorist attacks that could cause much more damage to the system than natural disasters such as Hurricane Sandy, blacking out large regions of the country for weeks or months and costing many billions of dollars, says a newly released report by the National Research Council.
According to the report, the security of the U.S. electric power system is in urgent need of attention. The power grid is inherently vulnerable physically because it is spread across hundreds of miles, and many key facilities are unguarded. This vulnerability is exacerbated by a reorganizational shift in the mid-1990s, prompted by federal legislation to introduce competition in bulk power across the country, resulting in the transmission network being used in ways for which it was not designed. As a result, many parts of the bulk high-voltage system are heavily stressed, leaving it especially at risk to multiple failures following an attack. Important pieces of equipment are decades old and lack improved technology for sensing and control that could help limit outages and their consequences – not only those caused by a terrorist attack but also in the event of natural disasters.
"Power system disruptions experienced to date in the U.S., be they from natural disasters or malfunctions, have had immense economic impacts," says M. Morgan, professor and head of the department of engineering and public policy at Carnegie Mellon Univ., and chair of the committee that wrote the report. "Considering that a systematically designed and executed terrorist attack could cause disruptions even more widespread and of longer duration, it is no stretch of the imagination to think that such attacks could produce damage costing hundreds of billions of dollars."
The report recommends ways to make the power delivery system less vulnerable to attacks, restore power faster after an attack or failure and make critical social services less susceptible even if the delivery of conventional power is disrupted. The report stresses the importance of investment in power system research, and notes that the level of actual investment in this research is currently much smaller than it should be.
High-voltage transformers are of particular concern because they are vulnerable both from within and from outside the substations where they are located. These transformers are very large, difficult to move, often custom-built and difficult to replace. Most are no longer made in the U.S., and the delivery time for new ones could run from months to years. A promising solution, the report says, is to develop, manufacture and stockpile a family of universal recovery transformers that would be smaller and easier to move. They would be less efficient than those normally operated and would only be for temporary use, but they could drastically reduce delays in restoring disabled electric power systems. In line with this recommendation, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has recently cooperated with the U.S. power industry on the RecX program to develop and test a recovery transformer.
There are also critical systems – communications, sensors and controls – that are potentially vulnerable to cyber attacks, whether through Internet connections or by direct penetration at remote sites. Any telecommunication link that is even partially outside the control of the system operators could be an insecure pathway into operations and a threat to the grid. Cyber security is best when connections with the outside world are eliminated, the report says. When interconnections are unavoidable, high-quality technical and managerial security systems should be in place, including systems that monitor for and help avoid operator error or intentional sabotage.
The report states that although it is not reasonable to expect federal support for all local and regional planning efforts, DHS and/or the U.S. Department of Energy should initiate and fund several model demonstration assessments across cities, counties and states. These assessments should systematically examine a region's vulnerability to extended power outages and develop cost-effective strategies that can be adopted to reduce or eventually eliminate such vulnerabilities. Building on the results of these model assessments, DHS should develop, test and disseminate guidelines and tools to assist other cities, counties, states and regions to conduct their own assessments and develop plans to reduce vulnerabilities to extended power outages. To facilitate these activities, public policy and legal barriers to communication and collaborative planning will need to be addressed.
This report was completed by the National Research Council in the fall of 2007, but the sponsoring agency, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, decided at that time that the report would be classified in its entirety. After a formal request from the Research Council for an updated security classification review, the report was cleared for public release in fall 2012.
A foreword to the report, written by Ralph Cicerone, president of the National Academy of Sciences, and Charles Vest, president of the National Academy of Engineering, provides details about the delay and says that the key findings of the report remain "highly relevant." The foreword states, "We regret the long delay in approving this report for public release. We understand the need to safeguard security information that may need to remain classified. But openness is also required to accelerate the progress with current technology and implementation of research and development of new technology to better protect the nation from terrorism and other threats."

You've seen this one before it was quilted. Still needs binding.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
You've seen this one before it was quilted. Still needs binding.
Wow that is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I LOVE this!!! I'm a table topper "junkie" and like to make them because they're quick (and usually easy) :)
Did you have a pattern for it?? Would love to do this one :)
good job
Someone here sent me the pattern sheet. I've been unable to find it online and I've already sent the pattern on to someone else. Sorry, I can't remember the name. The center, including the yellow, is made with 60 degree triangles, the triangles are sewn together in rows, and then just bordered a few times.Originally Posted by retired2pa
Thanks Debra...maybe they'll see your post and send the pattern again.
BTW...love your avatar :)
Sorry, it was too late to edit my other post.
Just to clarify, the first border after the triangles are sewn together, is yellow, and that helps the star appear to float.

Skyrim - Review Roundup # 3
View Single Post
November 14th, 2011, 23:04
Man, this really sucks. I was completely ready to skip Skyrim. Screw it, I thought, I'll pick up the GOTY edition in another year or two. It's just gonna be more of Oblivion, and if I got bored way before finishing that one, what makes me think I'll enjoy more of the same?
But no, I saw last week that I had my first completely free weekend day in months coming up last Sunday. Ah, what the hell, I'll be a lemming and jump on in. My mood while driving over to get the game was so funny…sort of a "Gawdammit, here I go again" vibe, like I was returning to an abusive relationship or something. Opening the game and installing it wasn't accompanied by smiles, but rather lots of dreadful sighs. At one point, I remember thinking, what the hell am I doing?
So that was the mood I was in when I started playing at 8am Sunday morning. About 17 hours later, at 3am Monday morning, I went to bed happy. I had obtained my first shout, killed my first dragon, was given the title…
Thane of Whiterun
…and now I'm at work and can't wait to get back to the game so I can get to the 2 or 3 sidequest areas around Whiterun that were burning a hole in my journal (I probably would have done them first, but when evening rolled around I forced myself to at least get a taste of the main questline).
Bethesda has finally copied with pride, and that's a good thing. The NPC behavior in towns is vintage Gothic. The quests and quest chains feel very much like F:NV. The harsh environment, complete with public beheadings, gives me a definite Witcher feel. The two dungeons I've cleared (besides the tutorial) can be put up against the best dungeon-crawlers out there. All of the crafting systems are useful and enjoyable. And the rate of advancement feels just right, as I'm only level 8 after a full day-and-a-half (and I can already feel myself slowing down), and I'm just short of having enough gold to purchase my first house (which I hope to rectify in my next dungeon excursion).
Yes, there are faults and some things that I wish were done differently (the stubborn refusal to allow us complete control over what our companion equips is particularly frustrating to me), but those don't even factor on my radar when I think about playing this damn game again.
So yeah, like I said, this sucks. I do NOT have the time or energy to get sucked into a TES game and all the tasty distractions that are thrown up in my way as I try to actually make progress in the game (on my way back from getting my first dragon shout, I had to pass by a cave and a very intriguing-looking sunken tower near the bank of a large river, and it was all I could do to press on to town, only because it was approaching 2am on a worknight). And no matter how hard I try, my quest log continues to grow larger, not smaller.
No, this does not bode well for my productivity at work or at home. Curse you, Bethesda…

Felix fanatics multiply for retro night
Felix fanatics multiply for retro night
SEATTLE -- Mariners ace Felix Hernandez is accustomed to his own cheering section at Safeco Field. Dubbed the "King's Court," the fans resemble soccer supporters with constant chants and choreographed cheers. With the club turning back the clock to 1955 on Saturday, Hernandez's special section got a little facelift.
Instead of just the normal one section, "King's Court" expanded to four for Saturday's game against the Angels, with approximately 1,700 fans donning special red shirts, instead of the normal yellow ones.
"It's awesome, it's a great feeling," Hernandez said of King's Court. "When you're on the mound and there's two strikes and they start yelling, 'K, K, K,' it's unbelievable."
Hernandez, who leads the Majors with five starts of at least eight innings without allowing more than one run, said he loved the improvements for Saturday contest.

Each of the nine compositions on the recording is a unique sonic adventure. Shipp utilizes the resources of the typical jazz quartet (supplemented with synthesizers and programmed sounds) and makes music in drawing upon unique melodic and rhythmically compelling ideas. Shipp's technically accomplished and artistic abilities at the acoustic piano are very evident. He draws very different sounds from his instrument than one would typically expect from a jazz pianist. As a composer, Shipp's music never becomes overly repetitive, nor suffers any bland sameness from one composition to the next. The sidemen on Nu Bop also demonstrate a highly accomplished level of musicianship and artistry in realizing Shipp's musical vision.
The only negative criticism of Nu Bop is that there is only about 40 minutes of music on the CD. While not to advocate sacrificing quality for quantity, with the price of a single compact disc approaching twenty dollars, it would be more accommodating to the music consumer if artists and record companies would give listeners a higher ratio of music in proportion to their purchasing dollar.
Despite relative brevity of the recording there is certainly no compromise in the quality of the musical product. Matthew Shipp has recorded excellent thought provoking, artistically sophisticated music. Nu Bop would be a welcome addition to anyone's jazz CD collection.

Qube Global Software demonstrates the power of their new space management product with the help of Lego and unveils the latest CAFM developments
Qube Global Software's Planet team in conjunction with their partners CADM used a Lego replica office floor from the famous Man Yee building in Hong Kong to demonstrate the benefits of using space management software at this year's Facilities Show.
To help illustrate the power of the new space management solution, contestants were asked to guess the occupancy percentage of the Lego replica Man Yee floor. The figure was calculated through the use of the space management product, with periodic surveys throughout the day. The closest guess on each day was rewarded with a Lego kit.
One of the winners was Joe Mellor of Teledata (pictured) who came closest to the occupancy total of 62% on the second day of the Facilities Show.
The 2013 Facilities Show took place on the 14-16th of May and featured experts discussing the latest innovations within the industry. Against this backdrop Qube Global Software also featured the latest developments to their Planet CAFM solution that provides Facilities Managers the world over with the tools to maximise work environments and increase productivity through improved working practices..

Watch the 'Grown Ups 2' Cast Reveal Their Biggest Fears
Fear: the most primal human emotion. The drive of many a great story, including the newly released comedy Grown Ups 2. The film sees stars Adam Sandler, Kevin James, and David Spade all confronting their various fears — bullies, parenthood, and their own wives, for instance. But the actors themselves have a very different set of entities that plague them. Speaking to Sandler, James, Spade, and their costar Salma Hayek, we learned quite a bit about what makes the Grown Ups 2 cast shiver.
Touching upon the wacky hijinks of Grown Ups 2's suburban setting, we also got to know about the real life hometowns of the stars. How kooky was James' Long Island upbringing, or Hayek's small Mexican town? Check out the above video interview to find out, and catch Grown Ups 2 in theaters now.

Back in the DVD days, export business of American product was a big business in Europe. People looking to avoid high prices, PAL speedup, ugly ratings logos, and long theatrical windows bought US product by the score back in the Old World. With Blu-ray, catalog sales in the US are good, but not great, but according to some new reports they're flying off the shelves in the UK and Europe. So why are they so different?
Well for starters, they're typically 30-50% cheaper than they are in the US, in a country with 1/5th the population where the cost of living is around 50% MORE.
Warner Bros and Fox have not only been releasing titles overseas months, if not years, earlier than the US, but they're charging rock bottom prices while they do it
"Well, there must be something wrong/inferior about them, right?" Not so far, in fact it's typically identical product between the two countries, with the exception of some cosmetic packaging differences
The Lethal Weapon Collection, a title that just finally came out in the US last week after a year of availability overseas, is currently $60 on Amazon.com, while the UK price, shipped to my door, comes in at just over $30 (and has been as cheap as $25)(UPDATE: Sales have it at $22 shipped currently, just over 1/3 the US price). The Alien Anthology from Fox was over $30 cheaper on release day, again shipped to my door from 3000 miles away. Planet of the Apes ($25.47 in normal keepcase, $70.49 in the book that doesn't fit on the shelf with the horrible rubber hubs), Superman ($39.11UK/$79.99US), again and again, the UK prices are so low that you can often get two for the US prices of one.
Now, I respect the rights of businesses to set their own prices, and understand that things need to be adjusted depending on market, but if Blu-ray is booming in the UK with 30% lower prices to great success, it seems to me that perhaps the doom of catalog is a self-fulfilling prophecy in the United States, and getting the prices on these major catalog gems down to the same prices the British are paying is not only fairer, but if Blu catalog success is stagnating here, why not try what seems to be working in the worldwide bad economy, and that is more reasonable, but still likely profitable pricing that encourage people to upgrade and transition to the platform, and continue to reap good revenues on combo packs of new releases, where sales are healthy and the real money seems to be anyway?

[paid] Need coder to assist with project
I am looking to build a site with the following features, but the more I try to do it, the more I realize I am too rusty and have too many other projects going on at this time. I can (and will) pay whomever takes on the project, please email me at email@example.com with your offers/quotes.
The biggest rub is that I want to offer a Flash version of the site. While I know the basics of communicating between Flash and PHP, the best and easiest method I know of is to have the PHP return XML format which Flash reads in as if it were (amazingly enough) a static XML document. If anyone is experienced with Flash and knows a better way to communicate between PHP and Flash, I am open to suggestions.
For now I will be just going HTML, but I need the functionality for Flash to be there for when I have time to create a flash version.
Secure account login: I need to have clients log in to this section of the website securely. Not pentagon security, but standard 'I am keeping user info possibly including credit cards' security.
Scheduling system / Calendar: this is (for me) the biggest and hardest element. I need my clients to be able to view my calendar when they are logged in, and to schedule times which are shown as available. Here's the gist; when a user logs in and goes to the calendar, they see a month view, week view, or daily view (based on their preferences).
In month or week view, they see days as fully booked, fully open, or partially open. This will be represented by different colors (I am thinking red for fully booked, white for fully open, and yellow for partially open - not critical though.) Clicking a day takes them to the daily view. In daily view, time is listed in 15 minute increments, for 24 hours (midnight through midnight). I am figuring on 2 columns of 12 hours each, which is then subdivided into 4 15-minute segments; but again the design is not as critical as the function. Each 15 minute segment will show as booked or available.
If the user clicks on an available time slot of at least 90 minutes, they can book time by entering into a small form the start time (prepopulated based on the time they clicked, but editable) and the total length of the appointment. There is a minimum of a 1 hour appointment, and the appointments are in 30 minute increments, so 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, etc. are valid appointment lengths. I would like the system to add 15 minutes prior to and after the desired time, and then check to see if it is a valid appointment...
For example, on whatever day it is, I am free all day. A user logs in and clicks on 10:00am. He gets a form with 10:00 as the start time, but decides to change it to 10:15. He then selects 90 minutes as the length (from 10:15 to 11:45), and clicks the submit button. The system adds 15 minutes before and after, and checks to see that 10:00 (15 before 10:15) through 12:00 (15 after 11:45) is available. Since it is, the time is scheduled, and anyone else viewing that day sees it as booked.
A second user logs in and she checks the same day. She clicks 12:00, and tries to schedule a 1 hour appointment (12:00 to 1:00). The system adds 15 before and after, checks from 11:45 to 1:15, and sees that 11:45 - 12:00 is not available. It alerts her, telling her the exact time conflict. (If there had been more than one conflict, I would like it to list every period of time not available, like "Sorry, your appointment conflicts with another, from 11:45 to 12:00, from 12:00 to 12:15, and from 12:45 to 1:00.")
I do not want my clients to see who has time scheduled, except possibly seeing their own appointments. Otherwise it is all listed as simply 'booked' or 'available'.
On my admin console, I want to see exactly which user has which time slots, as well as what times are the '15-minute padding' before and after appointments. I also want to enter in time as booked for myself; for phone-in appointments, or times I don't feel like working, etc.
Finally, the last part (for now) of this booking system is credits. Each month, the clients will have X credits added to their account. If they had not used all of their credits previously, they are not lost but added to the total. Each appointment they book costs N credits - I have not yet decided on the value of a credit, but for now let's use a generic 60 (one per minute).
The number of credits they receive each month is determined by their subscription level; and if they run out of credits, they will get an alert letting them know how short they are, such as a client with 48 credits remaining who wants to book a 90 minute appointment will get an alert, "Your requested appointment requires 90 credits. You have 48 remaining in your account. Would you like to purchase more credits now?"
Credits Management: Which leads us to the last area that is a need -
credits. They will have to subscribe at different levels ( I think 4 plans for now, I haven't determined the details yet). Each plan gives all the same access, but simply a different number of credits. If they schedule an appointment online (as above), it should automatically deduct the listed number of credits. But I also need to be able to add credits (refunds) or delete credits (appointments scheduled on the phone, other services I may offer for credits, etc.) manually.
The cost of extra credits (if they have run out or are low but want to use more credits this month) also depends on their subscription level... say they subscribe for (these are purely hypothetical numbers for now) 60 credits a month at $30 a month. It would cost them $0.75 per credit to buy more. If they subscribed for 120 credits a month at $55 a month, it might only be $0.60 a credit for extra. And so on.
So I need the site to keep track of how many credits they have month to month, and how many they use, as well as let me adjust their total manually. Depending on my 'wants' being fulfilled, I may have other areas of the site that automatically deduct credits as well.
Webcam: I would like a webcam type conference system set up for instructional seminars, as well as a live help desk. Basically, I would like to charge each user a set number of credits per minute for one-on-one helpdesk situation, not as much as a regular appointment (since I don't have to leave home to help them), but probably about 1/3 - so billed in 3 minute increments, of 1 credit each (to follow the above numbers system).
Also, for the conferences; this should be less than the appointments for live help or for the one-on-one webcam helpdesk. Maybe 10 minutes per credit. I will simply provide a short conference once a month, maybe more or less often depending on my schedule. Anyone who wants to can log in and is billed the proper number of credits per time interval. They can chat with me and each other, to ask questions and such, but I am the only one who needs to have a webcam image sent to everyone. I would prefer the chat be 'live' or 'streaming', but a constant refresh type of chat would work as well.
Member management: With all of the above, this should be obvious, but I plan on having a number of regular clients become members of a special test site, where they pay for credits which they can spend on various services. I would like to keep their information private, but have a small database where I can see info such as real name (versus their chosen user name), address, phone number, email, birthday, whatever else info I decide to collect on them. I would also like several 'notes' style fields so I can keep track of annoying customers, customers I like, customers who have 'special needs' and so on. Finally, I would like to have a record of all appointments, webcam conferences or one-on-one help desk sessions, manually entered (by me) appointments, etc. I have a bad memory, and this will aid me in remembering who has been asking for what, so I know what they might be needing for that next appointment. Again, this should be secure, so that only I can access it.
If possible, while sill keeping it secure, I would like to share some of that information with a public user database, such as for a forums system (probably phpbb, since I am most familiar with those forums), and maybe even a live chatroom system - so they can chat with one another and discuss common issues they have, and I can jump in and chat with them about random stuff too, for free (no credits).
So those are two other 'wants' . . . bulletin boards and a chat room; however I have access to several free ones on my server (through ScriptA and Fantastico). So unless special considerations are needed to integrate those with everything else, I'll just stick with free.
I don't have a 'planned' budget for this, which is bad because I would like to implement it ASAP. My realistic operating budget (for everything, not simply this) is only a few thousand dollars, and I would love to keep it as absolutely low as possible. Depending on timing, my budget may change (for more or less) - so please contact me right away with quotes and offers. I prefer email, but I will try to check this forum as often as possible so replies here are fine too.

Here's a quick one for tonight.
In amongst the melting pot of social media sites is a new social image sharing site called Pinterest. As the name may imply, this service allows you to pin images and videos of interest to one of your virtual pinboards. Probably the easiest way to pin stuff to your Pinterest account is to use the Pinterest bookmarklet which will find all the pictures and videos on a page and let you choose which one you want to pin to a board along with a short blurb. Some sites also offer a "Pin It" button so you can do it right from the page itself.
However, you should also be aware that websites no also have the power to prevent their content from being pinned to Pinterest. Now there could be good reasons to prevent pinning but in most cases I would see benefit in allowing people to pin content as it would drive additional traffic to your site as Pinterest does provide that link back capability.
For the time being, if you're interested in seeing what Pinterest is like you can check out my page here and, if you like the look of it, sign up for an invite to join Pinterest here. Or, if you ask nicely, I could perhaps give you an invite as well.

A second Bay Area Rapid Transit police officer involved in the fatal shooting of an unarmed man last year on an Oakland train station platform was fired Thursday.
Officer Tony Pirone's last day of employment was Thursday, interim BART police chief Dash Butler said in a statement.
Pirone and former Officer Marysol Domenici were the first BART officers to respond to a report of a fight moments before Oscar Grant was fatally shot by then-Officer Johannes Mehserle on an Oakland train station platform on New Year's Day 2009.
Pirone, 38, has been described by witnesses as being the most aggressive officer on the platform prior to the shooting. Domenici, 29, was fired March 25. She is appealing her termination.
The shooting was video-recorded by bystanders and shown across the Internet. It has sparked protests, including some that have turned violent. Demonstrators turned out at BART stations in downtown San Francisco on April 8 to demand Pirone's firing.
Mehserle, 28, who is white, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Grant, 22, who was black. Mehserle's attorney has said his client meant to use his stun gun instead of his handgun.
Pirone testified at a preliminary hearing last year that moments before the shooting he pulled out his Taser gun as he approached the men, who he said matched a description he was given of people fighting on the train. He then ordered some of Grant's friends to sit against a wall and then pulled Grant and another friend off the train.
According to Pirone, Grant asked him why he was messing with him. Pirone said he told Grant: "It would be a lot easier if you stopped playing games."
Video shown during last year's hearing shows Pirone yelling a black racial epithet at Grant. Pirone testified that he didn't recall saying that and if he did, it was in response to Grant saying the same thing.
Pirone then hit Grant. Rapoport has said Grant provoked the blow by trying to knee Pirone at least twice.
Moments later, Mehserle shot Grant, who was lying facedown.
Mehserle eventually resigned. He is scheduled to appear in court May 7 for a pretrial hearing in Los Angeles. A trial has been scheduled for mid-June, and Pirone will likely be a pivotal witness in the case.
Pirone's firing comes several months after a law firm hired to do a probe into the shooting recommended that Pirone and Domenici be terminated.
John Burris, the attorney for Grant's family, said Thursday that it was about time Pirone was fired. Pirone's initial actions contributed to Grant's killing, he said.
"He was the original instigator of this entire event," Burris said. "This sends a clear message that misconduct will not be tolerated or accepted. His overaggressive behavior led to Oscar Grant's death."
Pirone's lawyer, Bill Rapoport, did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment on Thursday.

The Seth Thomas Clock Company was started in 1820 and has been known for making high quality clocks. It was made around 1940. The wooden case is very beautiful and in very nice condition. We are not clock experts but we wound the clock 2 turns and it did start ticking and gonged although the sound was a little flat, it may need a tune up by a professional. The clock measures 14 ¾ inches high, 5 ½ inches deep, and 9 inches wide. T are 2 clock keys and original paperwork, even the original price tag. T are some small of scratches on the case and around the door knob. The clock face is original but the colors have faded a little over the years. This clock is still very lovely.

The latest film from director Danny Boyle ("Trainspotting", "The Beach") is a much more family-oriented feature, focusing on two kids - Damian (Alex Etel) and his older brother, Anthony (Lewis McGibbon) - who find themselves with a massive bag of cash when said bag comes flying off a speeding train near their home and lands square on Damian's cardboard fort. After a lengthy discussion that includes the fact that no adults whatsoever can be informed of their findings - even their father (James Nesbitt).
The two debate about how they want to spend the money, but there's a time limit - the day is coming up when the money will change over to the Euro. Anthony wants to hit the real estate market and buy status at school, while Damian believes it's a gift from God (throughout the film, he sees different Saints) and would rather give it to the poor. Although it's predictable that the money is stolen and the person who stole it will eventually come looking for it, "Millions" otherwise veers off in unexpected and delightful directions.
The film may not be similar in tone or content to Boyle's "Trainspotting", but the director uses the same energetic visual style, putting camera tricks and CGI to use to bring the imaginative fantasy elements (such as a house being built, rapid-fire) of "Millions" to rich life. The other element of "Millions" that I appreciated was the fact that the movie doesn't become sentimental and sappy, and the kids offer dry, subtle performances that are superb - the best, most complex and engaging performances I've seen from child actors in recent years.
"Millions" is one of those rare movies that both children and adults can appreciate. It's also one of those infrequent family movies that doesn't deliver heavy-handed messages and earns its emotional moments through excellent acting and writing. It's a sweet, beautiful little movie that will hopefully get a wider audience on DVD. It's certainly a gem, and one of the year's best.
The DVD
VIDEO: "Millions" is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen by Fox. The presentation is one of the finest recent efforts from the studio, as the image quality is absolutely wonderful. Sharpness and detail are exceptional, as the picture appeared consistently well-defined and razor sharp, with very nice fine details visible.
The only issue with the presentation was the presence of some very slight edge enhancement in a couple of scenes. Otherwise, the pictue appeared free of pixelation, print flaws and other issues. Colors were very well-saturated and bold, yet did not appear smeary or otherwise problematic. This is an excellent effort from Fox, as the film's sleek, striking visuals are presented exceptionally well here.
SOUND: The Dolby Digital 5.1 presentation is excellent; although much of the movie's audio is from the front speakers, some of the sequences do provide some inspired instances of surround use for effects. The music throughout sounds dynamic and rich, while dialogue remained crisp and clear, with no distortion or other faults. The accents may be a bit of trouble for some, but I didn't have any problems at all.
EXTRAS: Director Danny Boyle and writer Frank Cottrell Boyce offer an audio commentary for the movie. The two provide a terrific amount of information about the making of the movie, including working with the child actors, production issues, score and other issues. The two provide a warm and funny discussion and chat throughout the film, with no real pauses of silence or moments that drag due to too much praise or narration of the movie.
There are also four "behind-the-scenes" featurettes, "Million Pounds", "Saints", "Spirit of the Film" and "Robbery"; a soundtrack spot, the theatrical trailer and deleted scenes.
Final Thoughts: "Millions" is a thoughtful, heartfelt family drama with the occasional laugh. The movie offers a great, lively visual style and two marvelous lead performances. It's certainly different from director Danny Boyle's other features, but he definitely shows that he can handle lighter material quite well. Fox's DVD edition provides stellar video quality, fine audio and nice supplements. Recommended.

RE: Overlay Icons flipping back and forth
From: Jim Garrison <Jim.Garrison_at_troux.com>
Date: Fri, 1 Oct 2010 15:18:27 -0500
> -----Original Message-----
I did what you specified. Is there a way to log the output viewed in the debug window to a file?
After making the registry change and killing TSVNCache.exe, here's what I see:
The status icon says "Cached Directories: 6536; Watched paths: 5"
For about 15 minutes after killing TSVNCache I watched lots of "Crawling directory..." and "Invalidating and refreshing folder" messages scroll by. Then it seemed to become satisfied that nothing else needed to be done, and quiesced. After a few minutes there was a flurry of "Invalidating and refreshing folder..." messages for a path I hadn't changed. When I browse around my working copy with Windows Explorer, without changing anything, it seems to induce TSVNCache to crawl hundreds of folders near where I'm browsing. Then, after a short delay, there's another flurry of invalidations on folders it just invalidated a few minutes ago. Without a log file recording what's in the cache window it's hard to demonstrate this, however.
I'm using the "Include paths" facility with all disks un-selected to limit caching to a specific set of paths.
Is this normal behavior?

Hi Anne
Thanks for the post – have read Larry's too.
Have just been speaking to a number of FB users and kids – many cannot understand the fuss or for the matter the value. Caveats of course.
My point – what has the App achieved/likely to achieve that sensible parenting has not already done so. If it is designed to avoid situations like the unfortunate incident involving Ashleigh, note that this young girl (+16) used MSN which had a "panic button".
What the CEOP-FB tells me?
Law Enforcement have a strong influence.
A victim-oriented approach to online safety – the lowest common denominator, (so to speak). How do you argue with a statement like – "what price would you put on the life of a child"?
My response – consider the failure to deal with high volumes of child deaths on roads. You will no doubt be familiar with the debates about "children suffering head injuries on playgrounds" and the heated debates. We now have a not dissimilar debate in the online environment.
PS Am working my way towards completing the book!July 18, 2010

In March 14's issue I read four articles covering development topics in Del Norte County. I counted nine references in the articles to prior shortcomings in working together effectively. I think this should be one of the last times we should be referring to old issues, as there is definitely a new momentum for change in the community.
Next, picture an image to help with the next comment, an image of a desk top toy, we have all seen: a small wooded frame with six ball-bearings suspended from a string each in a V pattern. Six bearings that, at rest, touch each other in a line. Now pull one bearing and drop it; one bearing immediately starts out from the other direction. When it returns, the original ball leaves its rest position and starts out, continuing until the momentum stops. Move two balls out, two balls start out on the other side with the momentum, move three balls out, three balls start out on the other side.
With all the movement, with all the back and forth activity, the balls always end up together in a line at the end. After the pulling, after the pushing, they end up together at the end. And so, like Del Norte County, after the controversy, after the conflicting issues, the simple fact is all will end up together in the end, in the community. We work, explore life, experience hurdles, and live in the same community.
So let's set aside the talk about the past issues. The only thing we need to focus on is that we all andquot;return to the center,andquot; the same community, after the movement stops. At this time, we seem to have all come together at the center again. We can start a collective and comprehensive economic development project.
We share common values as stated in the articles, and an initial focus on youth and entrepreneurship, as stated in the articles is valid and already underway. The community is coming together in a very large way in support of a youth center project and with the presentation of the youth project study, later this month, I think the community will move forward in support of the youth. This project has been two years in preparation and many have come together, in the center, to make the project move to a reality in the near future.
Losing ground
I agree that we should not ignore the naysayers. I prefer to call them protagonists, as differing opinions are helpful in seeking out new solutions. They do not prevent working towards solutions; they can provide tactical influences on the solutions.
Of the four choices offered for economic development, staying the same was listed as an alternative.
Unfortunately, it is not an option in our world, our state or our local economy today. We can only move backward, lose economic viability, or we can move forward. There is simply no way to stay where we are without losing. Growth in economic power is mandatory in order to generate the revenue and the funding needed for even basic services, education, healthcare, utilities, roads and law enforcement. None of these vital local community service areas can stay the same. They simply need more funding to even keep pace with current needs. So we must look to economic growth to just stay where we are.
This I believe: There is a new momentum. We will not end up pulling at competing agendas, we will develop important economic action plans that positively impact the community. We can not stay where we are, and it is unacceptable to move backward.
This I believe: We will move forward because of two simple facts.
First, there is too much to be done to have any one segment of the community do it alone. We will address housing, wages, employment, job skills, youth empowerment and education, in our journey to bring economic growth to the community. This is a community task, and only the entire community has the resources to accomplish all of the tasks.
Secondly, doing nothing or working against each other will move the community backward by placing more pressure on costs of education, infrastructure and law enforcement. This is a downward cycle that simply will not be tolerated for very long. Well focused, strategic economic projects and economic growth produce the resources needed for improvement in community services.
This I believe: The momentum and the timing of current initiatives is simply too great to be stopped. From the community coming together to develop and support tourism marketing and funding, to the recently announced access to broadband services by year end, to the community eagerness for progress on a youth center, and even including the outpouring of support and volunteerism in developing the events associated with the Tall Ships events in May of this year, there are no naysayers in these groups. There are insightful comments and suggestions.
Journey underway
These initiatives all impact the community and have impacted the community's future vision for economic success. Is there a good deal more to do? Yes, but the journey already has started. The community benefits from several outside professionals willing to come to the area with suggestions, with guidance, with ideas.
This I believe: Economic and community development already has started and is well on the way. It will not be stopped, it will progress, and when the community works together, economic success will be all the greater.

One defiantly and ignorantly refused to be quarantined because she wasn't symptomatic. An RN with Ebola treatment experience that doesn't understand you don't have to be symptomatic to be contagious is an ignorant nurse. And one I wouldn't want caring for me or anyone I know and love. How uncompassionate for a nurse.
And then there's the other one. Who jumped on a cross-country flight, visited a bridal shop and other businesses. Flew back to Dallas from Ohio and now wants to get her deposit back from the bridal shop "in order to minimize additional public scrutiny." Bitch, that particular Aircraft Carrier sized ship has sailed.
It makes you appear like a media whore. Getting more attention so you can possibly gain more sympathy, maybe? I mean, you showed no mental acuity for your profession and maybe should become a DMV employee. In Texas. We don't want your ignorant ass back in Ohio in any capacity.

Life is famously very hard to live. With all the stresses of work and study that we endure every day, there has to be a saving grace, something that would take our minds off the worries. For millions of people around the world, this escape from the hardships of life comes in the form of comedy. The true appeal and magic of comedy is that the multiple genres and forms of comedy are so diverse that they will appeal to every sense of humor and will tickle the funny bones of every type of person. So the next time you feel down and out, the best thing to do is grab a jacket and head to your nearest comedy attraction.
Comedy has always been a part of our culture and media. There is no way to tell when the first joke was told but it can be said with confidence that something funny was said as soon as communication was invented. The Greek writers and performers incorporated comedy into their performances and made the comedy genre an integral part of entertainment. The Greek stories, if not totally based on comedic plots, would almost comprise of a few scenes of comedy. It was described by the popular philosopher Aristotle as one of the four main parts that make up literature which is the reason comedy has been an integral part of entertainment in every popular culture since.
In modern day, comedy has branched into almost every other genre of entertainment. From its humble roots of theatre, the comedy genre has now become a big earner in the movie theatres as well as a popular category of music. The comedy genre has its own charts and even its own awards.
The best form of live entertainment is no doubt a comedy show. If you are a fan of theatre, there are many comedy productions that are being presented around the year. These are the closest to the original Greek idea of comedy with comedy weaved into the story and the characters written to amuse the viewers. Some of the comedy shows that have achieved popularity due to their amusing concepts and storytelling styles include hits like Avenue Q and Spamalot!
Another form of comedy that has become quite popular recently and even managed to get its own category at the Grammy Awards is music. This genre of comedy is usually parody based and talented musicians put a funny twist on already famous songs or make up their very own comedy based songs. Some of the recognizable names in comedy music are Weird Al Yankovic, Stephen Colbert and The Lonely Island.
The most popular form of live comedy is the stand-up comedy genre. These performances usually include a single person on a stage who simply talks to the crowd, telling them amusing anecdotes and making funny remarks about an array of subjects. Some stand up comedians that have made their name well known are Richard Prior, Chris Rock, Russell Peters and Rowan Atkinson.
No matter what form of comedy you are interested in, you can always find a great deal on Comedy Tickets by just browsing through our vast inventory. So if you are looking for a laugh and a great evening out, feel free to snatch up some tickets for a comedy event near you.

Sophia Young-Malcolm Excited and Pleased with Start of Training Camp
The San Antonio Stars training camp is in full swing after the squad recently completed two preseason games against the Tulsa Shock. With just over a week until the start of the WNBA season, the team continues to prepare to get in physical and basketball shape as the season opener in Atlanta quickly approaches.
A positive out of training camp thus far this season has been the health of the squad, and forward Sophia Young-Malcolm is a big part of that. Young-Malcolm is participating 100% in games and practices as she returns from her knee injury that sidelined her all of last season. Along with Becky Hammon, the dynamic duo plan on contributing to the Stars success as they have so much in their careers.
As professional athletes, Becky and I want to get back out there and be as good as we were before injury, said Young-Malcolm. Coach has emphasized to us that it is a process and its going to take a little while for us to get back into the rhythm of things. Becky and I have a great chemistry, and we bring a level of intensity to our team.
Its no doubt that these two former All-Stars bring a certain level of intensity to the team. And along with the training camp invitees who have impressed all preseason long, the team looks geared for a strong start to the season. Young-Malcolm has been thoroughly impressed with the new players both on and off the court, and she is looking forward to helping them learn and grow more as people and professionals.
I am really impressed with the people that coach brought in this year, she said. They listen really well and that is something that can carry over not just in training camp, but anywhere. They are able to listen and go out and do what the veterans tell them to do, so that has been paying off so well for them. I really like them a lot.
Despite a couple of losses to the Shock in their first two preseason games, the Stars have been pleased with the progression of their team and players. Coach Dan Hughes likes how his team has started to develop, even though it is still early on in the season.
Its early in the process, so for us every day we try to get a little better, said Hughes after Tuesdays preseason game. Every opportunity we get, and its so early, were just trying to see if we moved our team along a little bit from the last time. I think we did.
After the second preseason game against Tulsa, the players and staff are looking at the positives from their first couple of tests. Young-Malcolm reiterated Coach Hughes sentiments.
Theres a lot of things we need to work on and playing recently against Tulsa kind of exposed that, she said. However, we arent using that game as a negative. We are actually turning it into a positive and are seeing things that we can work on to make our team better. So I think training camp is going really well so far.

Typhoon Bopha smashed into the Philippines on Tuesday uprooting trees and power lines and forcing more than 40,000 people to cram into shelters to escape the strongest storm to hit the country this year.
Three people were hit by falling trees and another person had a heart attack as the typhoon lashed Mindanao island in the south of the country, said civil defense chief Benito Ramos, adding that their condition was not known. (AFP)

There are a number of people who have come forward to (including recent video footage) lament the poor state of the Xbox One's OS and UI issues. In fact, the issue has become so bad that everyone is now on their toes wondering if the Xbox One will be Xbox Done when it launches on November 22nd.
Gearnuke first spotted a post by Peter Dodd, the infamous insider from NeoGaf who goes by the handle of 'FamousMortimer', where Dodd stated the following about the Xbox One's OS on his website, DoddScientifics...
The short story is that Xbox Live and the OS, especially in functions that involve XBL, are a complete fucking mess. One source says we aren't talking weeks until it works correctly but "months." Things like parties dropping people when moving from one thing to another. Connectivity issues. Missed invites. Friend requests not working, etc.
The comment from Dodd echoes identical sentiments of shared disappointment that spawned from the recent Xbox One video that shows the system crashing repeatedly on boot-up.
This has caused many gamers to become fretful of the Xbox One's potential ability to work right out of the box, and many gamers took to Twitter to challenge Microsoft's corporate vice president, Phil Spencer (not to be confused with Mr. Clean's cousin, Phil Harrison) over the Xbox One's OS functionality.
Xbox One News came crying to Spencer for an edict of refutation on behalf of Microsoft, to stop the spread of vicious rumors that have become "toxic" and supposed misconstrued entities of information. However, Spencer – light on his feet like a ballerina during Swan Lake – textually evaded the confrontation with the following retort...
Well, of course anyone can post a video but not anyone can post a video like this...
Oh wait, that video is from the media tour where Microsoft is going around showing off the Xbox One units. Oh... fail.
This fiasco is only part of a compounded mound of visceral, information vomit that reeks of the stench of Xbox One... or should I say, the Xbox 720p?
Sadly, Microsoft has never had an answer to any of the negative media news in comparison to Sony and the PS4, and the mini 'M' has had their backs up against the wall; scared like little kittens facing a pit bull, or fear-entrenched witless, like Floyd Mayweather fearing a fight against Manny Pacquiao: no matter how much money is thrown at the situation, the one expected to lose will always be the lesser of the two.

Hi everybody! Will try to do this quick yet efficiently because I just started my internship(today's my second day) and I need to go catch some sleep before my hectic day tomorrow! Please bear with me if my review sucks. You can always check out Ben's too!
I've got to say, when I first saw the promo for this week's episode, I did not see all these twists and turns coming. Boy, this week's episode was quite a crazy ride, eh? I was pretty much on the edge of my seat throughout the whole episode.
Based on the promo we saw last week(sorry if you didn't see it), we know that Shay is going down some sort of spiral. I was guessing it to be due to some emotional feels because of the whole baby thing or whatever, but I did not think it would be for the fact that a man blew his brains out right in front of her. It was horrible. I was having my dinner while watching and I did not feel very good after that, because I imagined what it would look like through Shay's eyes, brains and all(sorry for sidetracking).
And that whole scene with Otis and Shay, I thought for sure she was going to make out with him. I'm glad they didn't though.
It turns out that Clark wasn't actually the snitch, it was some other guy from the firehouse. I didn't quite catch his name, did they even mentioned it? Anyway, I should've seen this coming, I mean, the writers have been throwing the idea of Clark as the snitch right in my face, yet I still believed them. Did you guys called it though? That Clark wasn't the snitch? But I wonder what Gail McLeod used to bribe the real snitch. I hope we would find out.
At first I thought Hadley just had a vendetta against 51, to mess with them, but he actually thought of killing himself too. The crew of 51 saved him just in time before he barbecued himself. I'm just that glad this whole thing is over and everyone is alive.
Man, was I excited about the call they got regarding the car hanging halfway out of a building. I know I shouldn't be this psyched to see someone die, even if it's just a show, but it was teeth clenching exciting. I love it when they show these kinds of situations.
All in all, from what you can tell by all the words I've typed out, you can see I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. I think it's one of the best, because I'm normally quite on point about storylines. I hope they keep up the good work. This episode caught me off guard with the plot twists.
What did you guys think about the episode? Did ya'll enjoyed it as much as I did? Let me know!

Game One Hundred Forty-Three: Cubs (55-87) vs. Astros (45-97)
Game Time – 7:05pm CDT
Coverage – TV: Comcast SportsNet Plus – Radio: 720 WGN, XM Radio Channel 186/914
Location – Minute Maid Park, Houston
Travis Wood (5-11, 4.42/1.21) vs. Fernando Abad (0-3, 5.30/1.71)
The Cubs 10-game road trip and stretch of 20 games in a row comes to an end tonight with their last game of the season in Houston. The Cubs are 4-5 on the trip and 8-11 over the last 19 games.
Tonight will be the Cubs last game in Houston while the Astros are still part of the NL Central. The long-time division rivals close out the season with three at Wrigley (October 1-October 3). Next season's schedule was released Wednesday and the Astros will play at Wrigley next season but Cubs will not play in Houston first time since 1962.
Brett Jackson and Anthony Rizzo are both expected to be held out of tonight's finale. Jackson was expected back in the lineup yesterday but was still too sore to play after he collided with the wall in Pittsburgh on Friday night. With the lefty on the hill tonight for the Astros, the Cubs are hoping Brett Jackson is able to return for the opener against the Pirates on Friday afternoon. The Cubs are also hoping that Rizzo is able to return to the lineup for Friday's opener with the Bucs.
With another southpaw going for the Astros, look for Dale Sveum to use a similar lineup tonight to the one he used in Monday's opener … with one possible exception. With Rizzo likely out and the Cubs' unwillingness to play Bryan LaHair against lefties, could Josh Vitters get the start at first base? Vitters has limited experience at first base (41 games) over the past two seasons.
Tonight it all starts with Travis Wood …
Travis Wood has pitched better than his record of late. Wood has five quality starts in his last 10 outings. After posting a 0-5 record in six starts in August with a 4.14 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP, Wood is 1-0 in his last two outings with a 1.54 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP.
Travis Wood has pitched better on the road (3-6 in 10 starts with a 3.92 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP) than he has at Wrigley (2-5 in 11 starts with a 4.86 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP) this season.
Tonight will be Travis Wood's third start of the season against the Astros. Wood is 1-1 in the first two with a 1.35 ERA and a 0.53 WHIP. Wood beat Houston at Wrigley on July 1 with 7 2/3 innings of shutout ball. Wood owns a 2-2 record in seven career starts against the Astros with a 2.09 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP … at Minute Maid, 1-2 in four starts with a 2.96 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP.
Astros Career Numbers against Travis Wood
- Jose Altuve – 2-for-8 with a home run
- Brian Bogusevic – 0-for-3
- Jason Castro – 0-for-3
- Tyler Greene – 1-for-6 with a double
- J.D. Martinez – 2-for-7 with a double
- Justin Maxwell – 0-for-2 with a walk
- Jimmy Paredes – 0-for-2
- Chris Snyder – 2-for-7
- Brett Wallace – 0-for-5 with a walk
Fernando Abad has pitched in 33 games for the Astros this season and 30 of those appearances have been made out of the pen. Houston is looking at him as a starter and he will make his fourth straight start tonight.
Abad has not completed five innings in any of his three starts and has been hit pretty hard in his last two outings. After allowing one run on four hits to the Mets in his first start of the season on August 25, Abad gave up six runs on nine hits in 4 1/3 innings to the Reds and five runs, four earned, on six hits to the Pirates his last time out.
As a starter this season, Fernando Abad is 0-3 in three outings with a 8.03 ERA and a 2.27 WHIP … 12 runs, 11 earned, on 19 hits with nine walks and six strikeouts in 12 1/3 innings.
Fernando Abad will make his first start against the Cubs tonight. Abad does not have a decision in 10 relief appearances and owns a 2.16 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP.
Cubs Career Numbers against Fernando Abad
- Darwin Barney – 0-for-3
- Tony Campana – 0-for-2
- Starlin Castro – 1-for-2 with a walk
- David DeJesus – 2-for-3
- Anthony Rizzo – 0-for-1
- Alfonso Soriano – 0-for-3
- Luis Valbuena – 0-for-1

Today is the unveiling of the Creative Coalition's Robin Bronk's column in The Hill in which she asks famous people what they'd do if they had five minutes with POTUS. Her first subject: Harry Shearer. (He's an actor, comedian – he's the voice of Mr. Burns on "The Simpsons.")
It's not hard to find the column if you know where to look. The publication splashes it on the "Washington Scene" blog, but on the front of the web site? There's no mention.
It's difficult for Hollywood people to do Washington. After offering responses that involve a hurricane protection system, Wikileaks and health care, Shearer finally throws Bronk a bone:
RB: Would you ever consider a political career?
HS: Never. I worked in the California State Legislature for a year, and I still can't get the smell of sausage out of my nostrils.
Stay tuned for the next column, which will come out every Wednesday that Congress is in session. We have high hopes for this feature, especially with actor Adrian Grenier on the horizon.

Egypt holidays will increase in popularity, says tourism minister
a href="http://www.adventurecompany.co.uk/country-overview.aspx?productid=34526" target="_self">Egypt holidays are set to see a significant increase in popularity in the near future as the world emerges from the grips of recession, it has been claimed.
Zoheir Garranah, the north African nation's tourism minister, said that the last 12 months had not hit the number of travellers visiting Egypt as hard as many had feared.
Furthermore, he remarked that the next year will be promising for Egyptian tourism and that 2011 will see a sharp rise in the number of arrivals, the Middle East North Africa Financial Network reported.
Mr Garranah claimed this confident outlook could be attributed to measures put in place by the country to cope with the effects of the recession.
"We took a positive approach to combating the downturn," he said. "As a result of precautions taken, we have begun to witness positive signs that reinforce these decisions."
The Adventure Company offers a number of options for travellers wishing to experience Egypt holidays, including the Nile River Adventure Family Holiday, which takes in Cairo, the Pyramids, Luxor and the Valley of the Kings.
If this article sparks your imagination then have a look at our Giza and the pyramids or our Family holidays to Egypt page
We've over 250 adventures worldwide & take 10,000 travellers away annually. We've been operating over 15 years & pioneered the concept of family adventures.
We go on most of our holidays so can offer excellent firsthand advice. Last year 90% of passengers rated our trip 'excellent' or 'good'
"I've met the team and am very impressed with their friendly, helpful attitude" Ben Fogle – TV Presenter & Adventurer

On the brink
Spix's Macaw: The race to save the world's rarest bird by Tony Juniper, Fourth Estate, £16.99, ISBN 1841156507 Reviewed by Roy Herbert
SPIX'S macaw was named after the first man who shot one in 1819, which seems miserably appropriate. An exceptionally beautiful blue bird with a long tail, it lived in Brazil, where Spix had been exploring. It proved to be so rare that not another was seen in the wild by European scientists until 1903.
There was, however, a small black market in birds obtained from local trappers. It grew rapidly. Collectors became so obsessed with owning a Spix's macaw that in 1975 international trade in them was banned. As usual in such circumstances, the trade simply went underground.
The rarer the bird became, the higher its value rose on the black market. The higher the value, the more it was hunted for profit. Soon Spix's macaw was heading

A customer offers you a beer while working in their yard, opened, what do you do?
I dont drink on the job, if you got pulled over for having a light out on the trailer and he smelled beer... big trouble
Depends on the customer. Last job of the day and a long time customer, I would stop and have a beer with them. That means one beer and not six. Sometimes they just want to talk and what a great ice breaker. Have been doing a LCO a favor while he recovers from surgery and his customers offer me beer at 1000 and that is a different matter, FREE BEER IS GOOD
well, If it was opened, and they offered it to me, I'd come up with some excuse and tell them that i can't drink this while I'm still at work and got more work to do, i could get in trouble and loose my license. better to play it safe than not.
It depends on if I was thirsty or not. End of the day, one beer BFD.
an OPEN CAN OF BEER? no way, i'd tell them i can't drink on the job.
I like to drink.
not on the job though
If its past noon, and they offer me a beer I will always accept it! Nothing like tipping up a cold one on a hot summer day! One beer and that is it, unless its my last stop for the day, then its a 2 beer maximum. Infact its funny that you bring this up. I always set this one customer up to be the last house i visit because every time i am done cutting the grass he will come out with a beer and we will sit and talk it up for about 5-10 mins and we have been doing this for several months now! BTW its only 1 mile from my home and 2 beers does not get me legally drunk!
Yep and I am the pope. Bob
Funny, im 6'3, 240 lbs and 2 beers puts me over the legal limit, drunk or not, you may not pass a breathalizer
