I'm at something of a loss here, folks. To the best of my knowledge, no clubs closed down. As far as I know, no clubs opened. No bands moved to Austin, and nobody got arrested. The week was a huge spinning void of columnar nothing, punctuated by some of the absolute crappiest music IÕve ever had the misfortune to hear, or accidentally overhear. Starting with the Eagles. I live near the Rice campus, so I walked to the show, and when I passed the Wyndham on Montrose, which was disgorging a steady stream of out-of-town fans dudded up in their $35 T-shirts, I already had a pretty good idea of what I was in for. We're talking about a band that -- even in its heyday -- was accurately described by a Rolling Stone writer as "loitering" on stage. They're still doing it. And I was able to withstand precisely five songs of it, including an unmemorable new country tune that made a strong case for Glenn Frey's forced euthanasia, but no one was listening. I could tell, because they cheered.
As for the rest of the week's crappy music, part can be attributed to the pure accident of overhearing REO Speedwagon waft down the bayou pre-fireworks at the Freedom Fest, and the rest is the fault of this damned curfew thing. I arrived at the AstroArena at 9 p.m. to check out the Meat Puppets, who had already finished, and instead had to watch Stone Temple Pilots' vocalist Weiland vamping himself through a set of faux rock-star bullshit. His band's not as bad as you think -- though it's hard to tell with the AstroArena sound -- but Weiland's much worse.
Austin's got Austin City Limits, a fine little program showcasing musical talent in an intimate setting, aired to a national audience via PBS. Now Houston, in its own inimitably big way, makes its entry onto the airwaves with Live at the Woodlands, a new concert series produced by KUHT/Houston Public Television. The program, hosted by hometown hero Lyle Lovett, is being offered to PBS stations nationwide, and local broadcast schedules for Channel 8 are already locked in. "Festival New Orleans '93... Live at the Woodlands" aired Friday, July 8, and still upcoming are "B.B. King and Friends... Live at the Woodlands," scheduled to air at 9 p.m. on Friday, July 15, and "Eric Johnson, Buddy Guy and Friends... Live at the Woodlands," slated for 9 p.m., Friday, July 22.
Local Stuff: The week starts on Thursday with Jesse Dayton's Alamo Jets laying down a progressive (read: retro) country vibe at the Satellite Lounge. The Hadden Sayers Band continues its foray into Southern rock, guitar-hero style, at the Pig Live, and the world-beat-ish Swamis gig at Munchies.

Friday night's got the ultra-classy blues stylings of Carol Fran and Clarence Hollimon at Billy Blues, Ethnic Rain continuing the world-beat vibe at Munchies and The Mike Gunn making an increasingly rare appearance with understudies Linus at Rudz for a night of riff-heavy guitar rock. And speaking of rare appearances, Elevator Up stops its smart-pop ascent at the Edge Bar for a performance that'll likely make you wonder why these guys aren't more of a presence on the scene. Over at Cezanne, which is not closed, the new management is offering a "Drum Summit" featuring skin whizzes Sebastian Whittaker and G.T. Hogan backing the able frontline of Ken Ward on piano and David Craig on bass. The folks at Cezanne are doing their damnedest to keep the place open as a subscription-based venue (though they'll be happy to take your money at the door), and since it's one of a very few strictly jazz joints here in town, I'm going to insist that you go.
Come Saturday, rocker Herschel Berry roosts at the Ale House, and the reformed Poor Dumb Bastards return from an extended vacation, two marriages and one baby to headline for openers Pillow at Rudyard's. Punkers I End Result open the show for Guttermouth and Offspring at Numbers. Zwee and the Graveberries are scheduled at the European Tavern, and stellar jazz vocalist Sandra Dudley rounds out the weekend at Cezanne (you can hear Dudley wrapping her pipes around local pianist Dave Catney's "Little Prayer" on Last Night When We Were Young: The Ballad Album, available through Classical Action: Performing Arts Against AIDS, call Cezanne for ordering info). Any one of which local options, of course, would be infinitely more gratifying than traipsing out to the Woodlands to watch the Moody Blues slog through their pseudo-symphonic crap, but you people dug the Eagles, so I won't be held responsible.
Sunday night, honorary ex-Houstonian Sara Hickman sings songs from her recently released Necessary Angels CD at the Mucky Duck, and even if the album is a schlocky misstep in the blond one's oeuvre, it remains a fact that Hickman's stage presence would be worth the admission even if she were singing the Miss Classified jingle. The Sunday afternoon Funday in the Park program continues, this weekend at Linkwood Park, with performances by Pierre and the Zydeco Dots and some band called Easy Money. Also Sunday night, Carolyn Wonderland and the Imperial Monkeys cast off for their gig at New York's New Music Seminar and points beyond with a going-away blow-out at Dan Electro's Guitar Bar.
Tuesday, Zydeco Dots guitarist Tom Potter hosts his still-new Zydeco Jam out at Billy Blues, and the Swamis are booked for a return engagement at Munchies.

Editorial Reviews:
The Young Readers
Cincuenta en la cebra/Fifty on the Zebra is a colorful counting book, written and illustrated by Nancy Maria Grande Tabor. There is much more here than learning numbers. Each page, with a separate column of text in English and Spanish, asks the reader short questions about the picture. The format develops math and language skills and is informative and fun.
School Library Journal
A brightly colored, bilingual counting book, with the Spanish version (in black) and the English (in blue) printed side by side on the bottom halves of the pages. The simple, child-like illustrations give the appearance of paper cutouts pasted on construction paper. Four-to-five questions are posed per page, asking youngsters to count candles, leaves, armadillos, and more. A concluding question per page will allow for further discussion, e.g. "Would you prefer to be a fish or a butterfly?" Large public libraries with a need for counting books may want to add this title.

Hello Bike Calgary forum,
As you guys can see from the title I am looking into getting some cycling safety clothes but let me tell you a little about me first and what I have in mind.
Pretty much all my life I have been on the larger side. All through school, I was always conscious of my weight and the clothes I wore and it has carried it's self on until now When I'm at the age of 25, it's got to stop. Since I hit my 20s I have been getting bigger and bigger due to the decrease in exercise yet I'm eating the same amount of bad foods. I have now finally decided to put my foot down and get it sorted out before it takes over.
So, two weeks ago I had changed my diet massively from anything I wanted and desired at the time to only have a banana shake for breakfast, chicken, veg and brown rice for lunch then for dinner I would have the same as lunch or change the meat option. This alone has made massive improvements in a way where I am feeling much healthier and loving it. Now, I am going to sell my car and buy myself a bike but I want to get all the safety equipment and clothing as possible. for example, what do you think of the padded shorts here http://www.used.forsale/canada/cycling-clothing I have seen the roads are dangerous especially for bikers and I don't want to be caught in a bad situation without some gear. I know that a helmet is a must but what else would you guys recommend to make my ride as safe as possible? anything from clothing to equipment for my bicycle?
Really looking forward to speaking to you all and see what options I have for when I'm on 2 wheels.

hda ext3 corrupt
Hello all,
I had some problems recently with my box.When it is on over night it usually doesn't work anymore in the morning.All I get is the desktop or a black screen.
Today it finally wouldn't boot anymore - filesystem corrupt.
I got:
/dev/hda1 fat
/dev/hda2 ext3 debian
/dev/hda3 swap
/dev/hda5 ext2 data
/dev/hda6 ext2 gentoo
It was running debian with all filesystems mounted.Deb wouldn't boot anymore but gentoo did just fine.Fixed the partition from there.
Now I got data missing on hda2 - don't know how much yet - working on that.
Anyway - you guys figure I have a problem with this drive or something else is screwed up?
Can't get anything out of the logs the box was doing nothing at all according to the logs.
How olds the drive and what make is it???
Is it Scsi or IDE????
It's about 6 month old IDE and calls itself samsung.No idea who manufactures it.
Got about 85 meg's in lost+found now.
It sounds as if either your Debian install was a bit dodgy or the drive may be playing up especially if you were not doing anything when it went pear shaped.
If it is the drive itself youre still covered by warranty arent you????
If so recover what data you can and take it back to where you bought it
You could also try reformatting the offending partition/partitions and reinstalling debian
Warranty should be ok for a year.I guess I'll do some nasty benchmarking on the thing for about 12hrs. or so.
If it survives go ahead and repartion.
Post back with results and what youre going to do i.e. repartition or take back
Hmm - wonder if your power is fluctuating? If your voltages get too low, screwy things could definitely happen. Also with spikes. I got a line filter for my system and was very surprised that is usually just barely within spec or just below.
And I live in the DFW metroplex.
I got a stabiliser in there - they wouldn't even sell a box without it here.At least not with warranty.
In the meantime I found a couple of real strange lines in the root-terminal.
Well - took a while. Had to burn some backups.I did benchmark the drive for 12 hours and nothing went wrong.
I'll go ahead and put a little install with reisser on there and see what happens.
Change of plan.I did run hd-tests with Cerberus and that screwed the hd up within 30 minutes - really good tool if you need to destroy something!Works also for Cpu's and other stuff.

My employer is the owner of the buisness I am working at. He has been sexually harassing me by forcing me to sit on his lap and always hugging me he has even gone as far as making sexual comments towards me. I have asked him numerous times to stop and have also threatend him withpolice involvment. He always says sorry ans insists that he will stop but continues to do it. I cant afford to lose my job because of this. What do I do?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Send him written notice(or have an attorney do it) that he must immediately cease and desist his sexual harassment of you which he continues to engage in despite your repeated requests that he stop and which is a violation of federal as well as state law. And, furthermore, if he decides to terminate
your employment after receiving this letter, it will be considered as prima
facie evidence that he has taken illegal retaliatory action against you for which he could incur further liability resulting from your attempt
to persuade him to cease and desist from this illegal and most inappropriate behaviour directed towards your person as his employee.

If you are like me, you are adventurous in your beverage selections. However, from time to time you find yourself somewhat intimidated by the larger wine lists. When flipping through page after page of an enormous menu filled with high end wines all just waiting to be tried, it can to be a bit hard to find "the one" you are looking for. You might find yourself wishing that something would just jump out and speak to you. Well if that's the case, next time you are in The Ocean Room stop after the first page of our 1,000+ wine list at the Sommelier Selection.
The Sommelier Selection menu is a portion of the menu where Sommelier Garth Herr walks you through his favorites and of course, what's hot that month! I got the opportunity to sit down with Garth and we discussed his selections, this is what I learned.
Nicole: Garth, in your own words, what is the Sommelier Selection menu?
Garth: Just a way for us to have fun and emphasize some of the wines/spirits that we love that may get lost in the larger list. I have had wineries beg to be listed on the page but, it's not for sale. It comes from the heart. That way, it stays fun!
Nicole: Out of 1,000+ wines on your menu, what makes you pick these wines that go on this list?
Garth: The "Sparkling" section is there because I have always been amazed at how little sparkling wine we sell compared to what you would expect. Bubbles are one of my favorite things. Not just for celebrations but for food pairings as well.
The "What we are drinking" section emphasizes some of the wines that we have really enjoyed lately. They are amongst our favorites and are selected with no rules. Purely and simply, wines that I like.
"Freak Show wines" is a section specifically designed to highlight unique wines. Maybe they are produced in a different manner or made from rule bending varietals, or these are the wines that have something different and fun to share.
The other sections vary based on moods or something that struck me as special. Next up, I will be featuring a flight of high end Tequila's from master distiller German González because they are some of my favorites and new to the Charleston market. I occasionally highlight a specific winemaker or region, etc.
It is probably the easiest page to develop because it legitimately consists of things I am excited about. I rarely have to put much thought into it because these are the products that are running through my mind all the time.
Nicole: Are the selections based on seasonality?
Garth: Some are based on season, some on menu items but mostly, its what comes from my head. Writing them down and talking about them for a month gives me an outlet to share my thoughts and then move on to new ones.
Nicole: The lingo in this section of the menu is so casual, as if I were talking to a friend. We can tell there is a big piece of your flare in the menu when reading it. Why did you choose to go in this direction when making the menu?
Garth: Because the wine list is huge! It can be intimidating or overwhelming to some. Wine is supposed to be fun and relaxing, not something to stress about. I want people to feel comfortable and relaxed when they talk to me, whether it be on paper or in person.
Nicole: How long have you been offering the Sommelier's Selection menu in The Ocean Room?
Garth: I guess about two years now. It came about when I was trying to figure out how to put emphasis on some of my favorite wines that just didn't stand out on the overall list.
Nicole: Out of all the wines you have had on your Sommelier's Selection menu since the start, what is your favorite and why?
Garth: That is a tough question. The wines I list each month ARE my favorite wines at that time! I just continue to get excited about new things. That is why selling wine is so much fun. It is constantly changing and I am never bored. I actually fell in love with an old Australian Shiraz this month, it had been sitting in the cellar for almost 10 years and when I finally re-tasted it, I immediately added it to the Sommelier Selection page. Trouble was, I sold it all before I had a chance to click print.. Just typing it out helps me to think about why I like the wine.
That being said, my personal favorite producers are Chateau Musar, Chateau Rayas, Domaine Fourrier and Dunn Vineyards. It doesn't mean they are always my favorite individual wine however, over many vintages, they consistently finish near the top.
My current favorite white wine was only a production of 180 bottles. Better hurry if you want to try some! It's on the page this month and will disappear fast.

Things A Short Man Should Avoid Doing – MENFASH
Things a short man should avoid doing:
To get an appearance that's worth glancing is a dream that every man carries, yet some are blessed enough to get one while others seems cursing the fate for their inappropriate appearances. Same is with the men with shorter heights, men with shorter heights seem to face a lot of opposition in getting a nice appearance. Yet, accordingly with what they say 'every problem has a solution, as no creation is created with perfection'. This how, a shorter man would definitely have to look for ways to compensate the drawbacks. Doing nothing will add nothing but make the condition worse and there's surely a better way to deal with this problem. Major seems quite aware of this fact but the downfall that are mostly seen with this issue is the lack of awareness in their styles of getting dressed up. They might not give a damn to get a little information on what they should and what they shouldn't be wearing. Therefore, in order to educate as much, I would be discussing about few extra points to which men should be looking up to in order to get themselves as perfect as rest of all are. So here are the things a short man should avoid doing.
Things a short man should avoid doing:
Say NO to horizontal and big patterns: Don't ever choose horizontal and big patterns when buying yourselves clothes. It'll make you look shorter and you definitely don't want that. Therefore you might want to say NO to horizontal patterns if you're a fan of those. Smaller and vertical patterns will work for you, totally.
Say NO to risers and shoes with thick soles: Avoid wearing shoes with thick soles and don't purchase risers to make yourself look taller. It'd work as opposite as it can be, in very different aspects! Along with that, walking with thick soles will definitely injure your feet and it'll be difficult to walk with those on.
Say NO to baggy clothes: Even though, baggy clothes add additional charms in one's personality. Yet, for men with shorter heights baggy clothes will be act as a catalyst in destroying their personality. Therefore, say no to baggy clothes and wear clothes that fits you as men with fitted attires seem as more charming in any other criteria.
Say no to double breasted jacket: Instead of wearing double breasted jacket stick to single breasted ones. They're much fitted to men with shorter appearances.
Being shorter doesn't reflect blemishes, yet the crucial moment only appears when you don't get to think sensibly. You're amazing in all possible aspects. Don't you ever curse yourself, as every different criteria contains its own charm. You might only have to think twice whilst opting attires for yourself accordingly with above mentioned advices.
May you get to appear in all the righteous appearances, reflecting perfection in massive distinguishing styles.
– Stay blessed! Stay amazing, just the way you are!

Kylie Lay describes herself as a shy girl, but don�t let her soft-spoken demeanor fool you.
Kylie Lay describes herself as a shy girl, but don�t let her soft-spoken demeanor fool you. When the 15-year-old Stanley girl laces up her skates and rolls onto the rink, she transforms into a competitor named Muse. Lay is one of more than 20 local kids who skate with the newly formed Mini*Gs Gastonia Junior Derby Club. Fostered by the adult roller derby organization G*Force, the children�s team formed in 2013 and had its first match in February. �We plan to take them to nationals in August. They�re doing very well,� said Billie Jo Burns.
Burns skates on the adult team that formed in 2012. The all-woman team competes regularly. As their group grew, they garnered interest from male skaters and kids. It seemed only natural to expand, Burns said. The junior team caters to kids ages 6 to 17, although there is an interested 4-year-old who�s already started making laps around the rink. She�s not eligible to compete just yet, Burns said. Roller derby may have a reputation as a rough sport with skaters intentionally knocking each other out of the way, but safety is stressed, Burns said.
New skaters learn about safety, and all are required to wear helmets and pads.
�We have less injuries than a lot of kids who play football or baseball,� Burns said. The adult and junior teams practice each week at Kate�s Skating Rink at Hudson Boulevard. The younger team has won three out of four competitions and is scheduled to compete in a first-time national contest in the fall, said Burns.
The female team helps coach the younger skaters and hosts co-ed scrimmages with hopes of starting a male team in the future. A celebratory meal or gathering typically follows each competition, according to Burns. Members of the adult G*Force team choose a captain for the juniors before each match.
Lay has been captain for the past two bouts. �I found out that I guess I have good leadership skills because everybody listens to me,� Lay said. She first looked into the sport when she saw a flier at the skating rink. Since then, her brother, Ethan, and sister, Kyrstin, have also joined the squad.
Lay said she�s made a lot of new friends and enjoys skating with her siblings.
�It�s fun to play together. You also get to take out your anger,� she laughed. �It�s a very good stress reliever.� She said her skating has improved and so has her confidence. �All the kids on the teams around here are really nice and supportive. It�s really good if you�re shy,� said Lay.
You can reach Diane Turbyfill at 704-869-1817 and Twitter.com/GazetteDiane.
To find out more about the roller derby team, look up the G*Force Facebook page or stop by Kate�s Skating Rink, at 1151 Skating Rink Drive, Gastonia.

at the phone-info on top I´ve made a transition hover effect with a background-color.
Since the last update, you see the border during the background. I´ve tried to fix it with z-index but it doesn´t work. Do you have any idea?
Best regards
BrunoOctober 3, 2013 at 1:16 pm #169908
And I have another problem with the nav-items…
I want to add a hover effect with blue background. But I can´t set the height of the background-color to 30 px, because the lineheight is set to 200 px for the logo…
Any idea?
BrunoOctober 3, 2013 at 11:41 pm #170163
1.) You can add this on your custom.css or Quick CSS:
#header_meta { z-index: 9999; position: relative; }

Hi Ismael,
nice, it works. Thanks a lot…!
Any idea how to fix the background height of the nav items during hover them? I need a max height of 30 px…
Best regards,
BrunoOctober 7, 2013 at 5:36 am #171458
Hey Bruno!
Try with this CSS code:
.main_menu{ top: 85px; } .main_menu .menu > li > a { height: 30px !important; line-height: 30px !important; } .header-scrolled .main_menu{ top: 5px; }
JosueOctober 7, 2013 at 10:36 am #171530
Hi Josue,
that´s it. Thanks a lot! :)
Best regards.
BrunoOctober 7, 2013 at 11:27 am #171549
Oh, hi Josue,
now I see that there is a issue with the Menu-Items. If you scroll down, they stay at the same position till the navbar is at the smallest point. Then the Nav-Items jump to the right position.
Any idea?
Best regards
BrunoOctober 7, 2013 at 11:57 am #171555
This seems to fix it well, but there is a little jump at the end of the scrolling, because the main_menu doesn´t stay exactly at the percentage-value. Any idea?
top: 45%;
.main_menu .menu > li > a {
height: 30px !important;
line-height: 30px !important;
.header-scrolled .main_menu{
top: 12%;
RegardsOctober 7, 2013 at 5:19 pm #171715
Here's a workaround:
#header_main .container{ display: table; } #header_main .main_menu{ display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle; position: static; } #header_main .main_menu .avia-menu{ float: right; }
JosueOctober 7, 2013 at 7:13 pm #171763

Emmerdale: Moira Barton and Cain Dingle can't keep their hands off each other
THEY had one of the steamiest affairs in Emmerdale history.
Moira pulls him in for a kiss and it's not long before the pair are tearing at each other's clothes
And as our saucy picture shows, randy Moira Barton and Cain Dingle still can't keep their hands off each other.
The pair have grown close again in recent weeks but so far Moira has managed to keep her ex-lover at arm's length.
But when he visits her at Butler's Farm, cheeky Cain tries it on and even riles her about her sex session with young hunk Alex.
But Moira gives as good as she gets and tells him she has better things to do than to flatter his ego. Troubled Cain has been showing a softer side following everything daughter Debbie and his sick grand-daughter Sarah have been through. He even apologises to Moira for taking his comments too far.
She asks him why he's so scared of his feelings and it leads to a complete change of atmosphere.
An Emmerdale insider said: "Moira pulls him in for a kiss and it's not long before the pair are tearing at each other's clothes."
Don't miss all the action between Moira and Cain on the hit ITV1 soap a week on Friday

Family members force woman to get married a second time
Palghar: Family members of a woman, who married a man from Nashik last year against their wishes, forced her to tie the knot with another man of their choice, police said on Friday.
The 23-year-old woman from Nalla Sopra area here got married to the man she was in love with early last month but the alliance was opposed by her family members, Sub-Inspector R U Bhosle of Tulinj Police Station in Vasai said. A few days later,her family members along with some others tied and dumped her in a car.
They took her to a temple at Ankleshwar in adjoining Gujarat and forcibly got her married to another man, according to the police complaint lodged by the woman last evening. The complaint, police said, further claimed the woman's second 'husband' took her to Jodhpur, Bharuch and Nashik, where he repeatedly tortured her.
Police have registered offences under IPC Sections related to kidnapping, wrongfully keeping in confinement kidnapped person, cruelty by husband or relative of a woman, among others, against nine persons, including the driver of the car used in abduction. Investigation into the complaint is in a preliminary stage and no arrest has been made so far, police added.

One for 'Gups'
For 33 years, Don Jensen served the south Washington County area as a teacher and community leader. Even after his death, he continues to give back.
Jensen, a teacher at Royal Oaks Elementary in Woodbury and a longtime Woodbury resident, died of cancer in September 2011. Next month, Jensen's family is holding a golf tournament fundraiser at River Oaks Golf Course in Cottage Grove to benefit the American Cancer Society Hope Lodge.
"He was very near and dear to our hearts," said his daughter Sue O'Connell, 47. "My dad was huge into giving back to the community. If somebody needed something he was always there to help them out. We just wanted to give something back in his honor."
Hope Lodge gives cancer patients and their caregivers "a free, temporary place to stay when their best hope for effective treatment may be in another city." Hope Lodge provides a home-like atmosphere with a variety of resources where guests can stay in private rooms or interact with others in similar situations while fighting the disease. There are currently 31 Hope Lodge locations throughout the United States, including two in Minnesota - in Rochester and Minneapolis.
Jensen and his wife Char spent more than eight weeks at Hope Lodge, according to O'Connell.
"They allowed my mom and dad to stay there at no charge while dad was actively receiving treatment," said O'Connell. "They got to know a lot of people there and it became almost a home for them during that time."
Kayla Miller, Jensen's granddaughter and O'Connell's daughter, spearheaded the golf tournament in order to keep Jensen's memory alive, in addition to raising money and awareness for Hope Lodge.
"He is definitely a role model that all of us grandchildren looked up to," said Miller, 25. "He was somebody you could always talk to and he was probably the calmest person you'd ever meet in your entire life. He also would give you all his clothes if you were cold."
Because of his laid-back demeanor, some of Jensen's family members and close friends and co-workers called him Mr. Excitement, said O'Connell. But, she said, most of the Jensen's grandchildren called him "Gups" instead of "grandpa," but O'Connell and Miller said they didn't know how it started.
"Ever since I was little I remember calling him that," said Miller, who currently lives in Cottage Grove. "I have no idea why, but that's what everybody did."
O'Connell, the food and beverage manager at River Oaks since 2000, said her dad was "dedicated to his community and his family" and that is a reason why the family continues to do things for him.
"We're a pretty close family and my dad went to every sporting event or anything the kids did. This is kind of their way for them to give back to him," O'Connell said.
Jensen, who was a fifth grade teacher was 68 when he passed away. Jensen spent most of his summer months with his family at their cabin, but wasn't really a golfer.
"We have a lot of family that plays golf, so I figured this was a way to get everyone together during the summer. But, he loved the summer and going to the cabin," Miller said. "We're hoping to have tons of people. I know we're going to have tons of family and friends and a lot of people that my grandfather taught with. I know some people that don't golf have been practicing. It should be a lot of fun.
"Cancer can effect anybody in one way or another. If we can bring some awareness to that, we'll be very happy."

October is following sizzling September's lead.
How hot was Monday?
104 degrees - San Pasqual Valley, Ramona Airport
103 degrees - El Cajon
101 degrees - Alpine
100 degrees - Fallbrook, Santee
How are you coping with the heat?
Share your joys or sufferings in the comments below.
San Diego County's inland valley residents, who have had more than their share of scorchers this year, endured yet another triple-digit day on Monday. The 103 degrees in El Cajon set a record for the date. Some minor relief is expected today, but temperatures should still be in the mid to upper 90s.
Coastal residents weren't nearly as hot Monday. San Diego only hit 80 degrees, but that was enough to stretch the city's streak of warmer-than-normal days to 36. San Diego was 4.2 degrees warmer than normal in September.
The forecast calls for coastal highs in the mid 80s today. It should cool off Wednesday, but temperatures should stay above normal (74) all week.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Griner head of class
By DOUG FEINBERG
AP Basketball Writer
Brittney Griner has been in a class by herself all season. Now she's part of a select group.
Baylor's 6-foot-8 star senior was a unanimous selection to The Associated Press' All-America team Tuesday.
Griner became the fifth three-time AP All-American, joining Tennessee's Chamique Holdsclaw, Duke's Alana Beard, Oklahoma's Courtney Paris and Connecticut's Maya Moore. Paris and Moore were the only two to earn the honor all four years.
"That's pretty special company," Griner said.
She was joined on the squad by Notre Dame's Skylar Diggins, Stanford's Chiney Ogwumike, Delaware's Elena Delle Donne and Baylor teammate Odyssey Sims.
With Sims and Griner, it marked the sixth time that teammates were first team All-Americans. Connecticut has done it four times and Tennessee once.
"I think they're two of the best, period," Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said.
It's hard to argue. Griner was unstoppable nearly all season, averaging 23.4 points, 9.4 rebounds and 5.2 blocks. She also had 11 dunks, including three in one game against Florida State in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
Griner and Diggins received 200 points and were unanimous choices by the 40-member national media panel that votes in the weekly Top 25. It's the sixth straight season that there has been at least one unanimous choice. Voting was done before the NCAA tournament.
Diggins has had an unbelievable season herself, guiding Notre Dame to its first Big East tournament title and a second straight conference regular-season championship. She's averaged 17 points, 5.9 assists and 3.1 steals and became the school's all-time scoring leader.
"This means a lot to me," said Diggins, who also was an All-America last season. "I was fortunate enough to have a school like Notre Dame in my backyard, and this is an honor that I share with all my coaches and teammates."
Diggins joins Ruth Riley as the only Irish players to earn first-team All-America honors in consecutive seasons. Riley did it in 2000 and 2001.
The senior guard said she would love to have the All-America team on the floor.
"This would be a coach's dream team. I'd have a field day with this team," Diggins said. "We wouldn't lose."
Ogwumike guided Stanford to its seventh straight conference tournament championship before the Cardinal lost in the regional semifinals of the NCAA tournament to Georgia. That ended a streak of five straight trips to the Final Four for the team.
She did all she could for the Cardinal, averaging 22 points and 13 rebounds.
Ogwumike was thrilled to learn she and her sister Nnemkadi, who graduated last year, were the first pair of sisters ever to be All-Americans.
"Wow, what a really cool accomplishment for our family," she said. "She always pulled me up when we were playing together, and to join her now is incredible."
While it was Chiney Ogwumike's first time as an All-American, Delle Donne earned the honor for a second straight time.
She carried Delaware to unprecedented heights this year with a trip to the NCAA tournament regional semifinals for the first time. The 6-foot-5 senior was second in the nation in scoring and helped the Blue Hens go undefeated in the Colonial Athletic Association for the second season in a row.
"It's an incredible honor to be an All-American," Delle Donne said. "To be with that group of girls is really special."
She ended her career as the fifth all-time leading scorer in NCAA history with 3,039 points, passing former stars Cheryl Miller, Holdsclaw and Moore in her last game Saturday.
Sims averaged 12.5 points and 5.7 assists for the Lady Bears, who lost in the regional semifinals to Louisville on Sunday night. She almost rallied them from a 19-point second-half deficit, scoring 29 points in the loss.
"I'm glad to be named to that; it's a great accomplishment," Sims said of making the All-America team.
The five All-Americans were on the preseason team, along with Maryland junior Alyssa Thomas. It was only the third time that the postseason All-Americans were all on the preseason team since the AP started compiling a squad in 1995.
Thomas headlined the second team with Connecticut sophomore Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, Penn State junior Maggie Lucas, Duke junior Chelsea Gray and Kentucky senior A'dia Mathies.
The third team was Texas A&M's Kelsey Bone, UConn's Stefanie Dolson, Duke's Elizabeth Williams, Tennessee's Meighan Simmons and Notre Dame's Kayla McBride.

I hsve commenced this brief
record ol an experience so dif

I will merely say to the read

with our work together.
This afternoon Mrs. : JuCge
Ashman, another ' intimate
Inend, was also with ns. Qer
only immediate response to
Mrs. Elliott's words was A deep
sigh. At last she said:
"The evil grows so desperate
I ean scarcely wonder at any
effort to counteract iV though
I must say with you that I can
scarcely understand this one.
I do not see bow a lady can go

saloons are elegant iiali their

Elliott, almost hotly; "woman-'

to see and, hear things : which,
to a pure,. refined woman, are
worse than blows. Id rather
meet the. coarse brutality of

of the gilded ealoons."
'What you say, my dear,
seems perfectly true, and I
have felt so myself.. But oh
what can we dot , what can we
dot Its dreadful to sit with
folded hands, and see the havoo
these places are making."
The pathos and distress in
Mrs. Ashman's voice were too
deep to be caused by merely
general appreciation ol the
evils ot intemperance. I liad

All of her characters may not be likeable (the selfish Kristin, for one, and Tillson's second wife Mordalena, for another); but each one is unique and fascinating in his or her own right. What is Music and Silence about? The disappointment of love--and the perseverance of love. The power of art and the power of words. Family dynamics that can almost destroy its members yet somehow manages to pull them together. The influence of the past and the persistence of memory. And so much more. To give you any more details, if you haven't read this beautiful novel, would spoil the experience. Highly recommended!
"Very entertaining story"
I was thoroughly captivated by this book. I felt the characters to be described beautifully, so that I could practically picture each one. Sometimes the back and forth was confusing and the audio was a bit trickier to back up and review, but the chapter deliniations were perfectly spaced. Can't wait for our book club discussion!
"A great listen"
I normally avoid "historical" novels, and only decided to download this having read "The Colour" and "Sacred Country". I was so impressed with Rose Tremain's writing that I gave this a go. And I am glad I did.
A really interesting story .. on the surface about events during two years surrounding the breakdown of the marriages of King Christian, and associated subplots (which are really the main plots). But like Rose Tremain's other novels: lots of insights into the nature of what makes life interesting and worth living. How to create meaning, happiness... ...very existential stuff , and some great quotes . Beautiful writing. Loved both the "goodies" and the "baddies".
Jenny Agutter is masterful in her rendition of this book.. Beautifully read and a joy to listen to. She captures the essence of the characters really well, from the prickly and nasty Kirsten to the daydreaming Marcus.
"Sublime Book"
I am bereft having finished listening to this wonderful book. Jenny Agutter's narration transported me to ancient Denmark with its cast of robust and sympathetic characters, I loved them all even the awful ones! It made me yearn to learn more- one of the best books ever!
"Held by the reader"
This is the sort of book I admire but don't enjoy and I know had I read it on the printed page I would have given up on it. Although everything links together, the plot is built up on multiple narrators, some of whom I found more interesting than others. Jenny Agutter's wonderful reading of it lulled me through the more stolid bits and carried me firmly through the engrossing parts. It is no doubt a beautifully written and thought -provoking book. However it is bleak and at the time this didn't suit my mood, so for me to say I was glad that I listened to the whole book is praise. This is a very biased review, but I would say if you are really struggling after an hour or so, you are going to have an uphill battle.
"It doesn't miss a beat!"
Like all of her stories, life and emotion in all its diversity, immerse me in the time, the people and the events.
I absolutely loved this book. It is compulsive, fascinating and beautifully narrated, what bliss and sad for it to end. What can I listen to now that this wonderful story is over.
"Kirsten is Christina"
The notion of the true story of King Christian IV of Denmark set in the year of 1630 as 'racy' seems a bit of a stretch, but Rose Tremain through the character of Kirsten or Christina Munk pulls it off. Lots of plots and sub plots, great storytelling from a writer who was new to me - really enjoyable. Jenny Agutter's performance is great as well, she has the perfect voice for this one - a pleasure in itself.

'WE'RE NOT DONE': Gators Run-Rule Lady Bears, 11-0, in Series OpenerMay 30, 2014
By Jerry Hill
Baylor Bear Insider
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. - Glenn Moore couldn't have seen this coming. And if he did, he would have closed his eyes and prayed that it wasn't real.
Starting with a disastrous first inning that had two errors lead to three unearned runs, and finishing with a pinch-hit grand slam homer in the fifth, the 13th-seeded Baylor Lady Bears opened the Women's College World Series on Thursday with an "embarrassing" 11-0 run-rule loss to the fifth-seeded Florida Gators.
"That was embarrassing," said Moore, whose team fell to 47-15 with its first run-rule loss since falling to Texas A&M, 8-0, in last year's region final in College Station. "I thought this team was as prepared as any team I've brought to the World Series, with a better chance of winning than the two previous teams. But yet we played worse than any team, at least in the initial game."
Freshman pinch-hitter Chelsea Herndon put an end to the Lady Bears' misery when she blasted a 1-2 offering from former Lewisville (Texas) Hebron High School teammate Heather Stearns over the center-field wall for a grand-slam homer on her first World Series at-bat.
"I went up there with a clear mind," Herndon said. "I wasn't going to let the nerves get a hold of me. When I saw a good pitch, I took a hack at it. . . . It was down the middle, something that looked good; definitely what I was looking for."
Baylor's struggles started in the first inning. After a one-out bloop single to center by Kirsti Merritt, Lauren Haeger hit a grounder to third that looked tailor-made for an inning-ending double play. But third baseman Sarah Smith's throw to second was high and behind Ari Hawkins, leaving runners on the corners with one out.
"We could write a book on the mistakes we made today," Moore said.
Stephanie Tofft drove in one run with a sacrifice fly to center, and then Baily Castro followed up a walk to Briana Little with a two-run double to right-center field. Suddenly, the Lady Bears found themselves in unfamiliar territory, facing a 3-0 deficit after one inning.
"I don't feel like the team was freaking out about it," said senior All-American pitcher Whitney Canion (31-10), who gave up five runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks with two strikeouts in 3.1 innings. "It wasn't like, 'Oh, we're on this stage.' I don't think it had anything to do with it. We had a miscue and they hit a few balls hard, and one thing led to another."
Just five days earlier, Baylor had rallied from one-run deficits three times in completing a sweep of Georgia with a 6-3 road win. But the Lady Bears never came close against the Gators (51-12), who advance to Friday's winner's bracket game at 6 against top-seeded Oregon (55-7).
"I felt like we were sucker-punched quick, and we didn't respond," Moore said. "It was more what we did to ourselves than what Florida did to us. I thought they played a great game, and we played maybe the worst game that I've been a part of coaching in four or five years. You just can't play that way at this level and have a chance to win."
Senior catcher Clare Hosack looked like she would answer with a solo homer to lead off the second, but Little caught it at the wall in left field. That's the kind of day it was.
That same inning, Smith smashed a ball off pitcher Hannah Rogers (27-8) that bounced directly to shortstop Katie Medina for a routine 1-6-3 groundout.
"That's softball," said Baylor junior shortstop Jordan Strickland, who had the Lady Bears' only hit out of the infield. "You're going to hit the ball hard, and that's their job. We're in the World Series, and their job is to make defensive plays. As an offense, we need to keep hitting those balls and keep hacking at 'em. I thought we tried; they just kept making great plays."
Strickland led off the third with a hard-hit single through the circle, but she was left stranded at first base when Rogers came back to strike out Lindsey Cargill and Kaitlyn Thumann.
"She approached each batter with a specific plan, and she nibbled around the zone," Strickland said of Rogers, a third-team All-American who picked up her 124th career victory. "As hitters, we didn't know what (the umpire) was going to call and what we were going to swing at. I felt like we hit a lot of balls hard. We just have to make it happen next time."
The Gators tacked on another run when Merritt led off the bottom of the third with a shot to center field for her 12th homer of the season. As a team, Florida ranks among the national leaders with 85.
Moore said Canion's velocity, which usually tops out in the upper 60s, was down below 65. "And you have those days. Sometimes you're not going to throw as hard. She didn't have it today, and our defense didn't back her up."
With a bunt single by Hawkins and a hard shot by Linsey Hays that bounced away from Tofft at third base, the Lady Bears had a chance to get back in the game with Smith at the plate. But Tofft deftly fielded a hard-hit grounder and tagged out Hawkins for the final out.
Rogers worked a 1-2-3 fifth, and then watched as her Gators put it away with six more runs off Stearns.
A one-out double by Munro in the fourth ended Canion's day after 81 pitches. Stearns retired Medina on a foul pop-up that Smith bobbled and caught, but Kelsey Stewart came back from a 0-2 count, fouled off three pitches and then roped an RBI single to center that plated Munro for a 5-0 lead.
And then in the fifth, Stearns got two-strike counts on five of the six batters she faced, but was unable to get an out.
Haeger led off with a single to left, followed by a Tofft double to the right-field corner that barely stayed inside the first-base bag. After Little loaded the bases with an infield single, Hawkins' throw home on a fielder's choice grounder was too late to get pinch-runner Jessica Damico.
The Gators made it 7-0 when Stearns plunked Taylor Schwarz with a 0-2 pitch and ended it with Herndon's third home run of the season.
"I felt like our players came in confident, calm, under control, and we warmed up well," said Florida coach Tim Walton, whose team is in the World Series for the sixth time in seven years. "And how about a freshman in her first at-bat at the College World Series hitting a grand slam off one of her former teammates? That was good stuff."
After a day off, Baylor will play third-ranked and eighth-seeded Florida State (55-8) at 11 a.m. Saturday. The Seminoles fell into the losers' bracket with a 3-0 loss to top-seeded Oregon.
"We'll fight back, I have no doubt," Moore said. "It's a big test. We're not done. It's a double-elimination tournament. Whether you lose by one run or by 11, it's still a loss. One good thing about it is Whit didn't have to throw 169 pitches, so she'll rest tomorrow, and we'll fight our way back through the losers' bracket."
