My grandmother has cancer and i haven't seen her for like 2 weeks. i saw her today and she lokks nothing like what she did. i'm trying to treat her like i used to but its hard because she dosn't look like she used to and she is really sick and not her self. i was wondering if anybody else went through this and if they did what did you do?

Your grandmother isn't the way she used to be, and it's ok not to act as if she were. It's really frightening to watch someone sick with cancer, even if you're a lot older than 14. And with cancer, there isn't really anything you can do, which makes everything feel worse.

The Rochester Christian Reformed Church Knitting Ministry donated its work to area agencies.
At the beginning of December, members gathered to sort and bag items to be delivered before Christmas. Agencies that received clothing include: Rochester City elementary schools, 226 hats and mittens; city family health clinics, 32 pieces of baby clothing; Open Door and Family missions, 78 pieces including hats, mittens, scarves and slippers; and Livonia and Williamson migrant agencies, 30 hats and scarves.
The group also donated 31 chemotherapy hats and three Bay Trail mitten trees.
The knitting began at least 20 years ago by Hermien Bouwmeester as she knitted throughout the year for people who were not able to buy warm items for themselves or their children. Interested church friends and family members began to donate yarn as a way to participate in Bouwmeester's work when they couldn't knit themselves. Later, more church friends added to Bouwmeester's work and the RCRC Knitting Ministry was started.

Our room was sweet. It was also air-conditioned, which was unusual in Tuscany, but given the 80 degree days in October, it was much appreciated. We stayed at a number of accommodations during our stay and this was probably our favorite. If you can ignore the church bells every 20 minutes (they cool it overnight) Monte San Savino is very quite after dark. The rooms in this hotel are very comfortable and nicely furnished. Our bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was larger and better layed out than the other we stayed at.

Which teaching practices improve student performance on high-stakes exams? Evidence from Russia
This study examines the relationship between teaching practices aimed at raising student performance on a high stakes college entrance examination—the Russian Unified State Exam (USE) — and student performance on that test. The study uses data from a school/classroom survey of almost 3,000 students conducted in 2010 in three Russian regions. The analysis employs a student fixed effects method that estimates the impact of teaching practices used by students' mathematics and Russian language teachers on students' exam results. To test for possible heterogeneous effects of practices in different academic tracks, the study estimates the practices' effect on USE scores for students in advanced and basic level tracks. The study finds that the only strategy with positive effects on test outcomes is greater amounts of subject-specific homework geared to different types of test items, and that the most effective type of homework differs across tracks

"I shoulda said...," "I shoulda asked...," "I shoulda...," "I shoulda...," "I shoulda..."
You make a mental note of the shouldas... and then what? Nothing!
With everything else that goes on during the day, your shouldas become a distant memory - lessons that could have been learned, but were lost instead.
Invest 89 cents on a spiral notebook and keep it on the seat of the car. Draw a line down the center of each page. Label the left side: The Prospect Said/Asked/Did. Label the right side: I Should Have Said/Asked/Done. The next time you have an impromptu debrief in the car, record the prospect's action along with your shouldas. Don't record what you did; record what you should have done. (The purpose of the journal is to reinforce good behavior, not remind you of poor behavior.)
If you're not sure what a more appropriate behavior would be, consult with your sales manager or a fellow salesperson at a later time. You won't have to rely on your memory for an accurate description of the event; it will be recorded in your notebook.
So, the next time you think, "I shoulda...," write it down. An 89 cent investment and a few minutes of your time will return big dividends in the form of improved performance and increased sales.

A chance to get in on the ground floor
GFU football recruits lured by coaches that care, a family atmosphere, new facilities and opportunity
Building a football program from scratch takes a lot of effort and over the past two years, George Fox has thrown its weight behind the effort, building new facilities, purchasing new equipment, designing a unique helmet and uniform and even advertising on billboards across the state.
But more than anything, a football team needs players.
That has been the challenge for head coach Chris Casey and his staff, but in sweeping the Northwest for talent, theyve found that as a new program, George Fox has something that other programs cant offer.
Starting something like this, I think it takes a certain type of person to do it, to have the courage to do it, sophomore Ian Becker said. We all realize that from each other, so we all know the type of people we are and were alike in that way.
Starting from scratch does offer a lot of perks, like all the new equipment and facilities, but there are some stark challenges.
For instance, having just two recruiting classes, the Bruins will be at a major competitive disadvantage against established programs.
Not only will George Fox be vastly less experienced that most of its opponents, but other programs have also had the luxury of developing their players physically over time. So when the Bruins line up against teams like Linfield and Willamette, Caseys freshmen and sophomores will be going up against juniors and seniors whove had years to bulk up while in college strength and conditioning programs.
Everyone knew that coming here, too, which is kind of cool, sophomore guard Robby Mitchell said. Its people who are up to the challenge.
Drawing players with similar character and attitudes has also expedited the bonding process for the team, especially for those who chose to come to Fox last year knowing they wouldnt play for a full year.
The first group that came in last year, there was kind of an instant bond, Becker said. Even the coaches said theyve never seen a group of guys come together and have just the type of connection we had with each other. It feels like the new guys are just coming right in and its the same thing happening again.
That cohesion has also benefited from the family atmosphere that Casey has tried to establish as the foundation of the program, which was also a major reason some recruits chose George Fox. That was a big reason freshman running back Gio Tayetto joined up.
The people were nice, Tayetto said. The helmets were nice. It was a great recruiting trip. I got along with all the players. Its George Fox, how can you not like it?
Even former players from the last era of GFU football, like the Bruin Football Club, have been impressed by what Casey has put together so quickly. Many were on hand for the team dinner with parents on the first day when players reported to campus.
Weve had events those guys have come to and theyve actually been crying, Casey said. One of them was crying the other night at dinner. He just couldnt believe all the players and parents and just what he said we created with the family atmosphere.
Recruits have also been drawn to Casey himself, attracted to a personality that is both powerful and authoritative, yet honest and genuinely warm-hearted.
Coach Casey is a very powerful speaker, sophomore nose tackle Justin Kruse said. Yet hes not really one to yell. That works for some people and for others it doesnt. It really works for him. He treats you as an equal rather than `Im the head coach and youre the player.
Considering all the unknowns that come with a new program, having a head coach and a staff that recruits believe cares for them and has their best interests at heart is almost essential.
With the program coming together with every passing day, Becker described the process as one big trust fall.
Its like walking in the dark, getting led by a blind hand, Kruse added. You dont know whats going to be there, but you can create your own path, make what its going to be.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Hard-hitting linebacker/safety Jack Tatum has passed away at the age of 61 after suffering a heart attack on Tuesday.
Nicknamed "The Assassin," Tatum played for Ohio State from 1968-70 and for the Oakland Raiders from 1971-79 before finishing his professional career with the Houston Oilers in 1980.
"We have lost one of our greatest Buckeyes," said current OSU head coach Jim Tressel. "When you think of Ohio State defence, the first name that comes to mind is Jack Tatum. His loss touches every era of Ohio State players and fans."
Originally slated to be a running back for the Buckeyes, Tatum was moved to the defence and helped Ohio State go 27-2 with a national championship and two conference titles in his tenure at the school. He was a two-time All-American and the national defensive player of the year as a senior.
Tatum was a first-round pick by Oakland in the 1971 NFL Draft and was a three- time Pro Bowl free safety and a Super Bowl champion in 1976. In 10 seasons, he recorded 37 interceptions and 10 fumble recoveries.
He was inducted into the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame in 1981 and the College Football Hall of Fame in 2004.

Is This Chair Fixable?
Q: When my boyfriend and I moved into our new apartment we bought these adorable chairs for our kitchen table at a yard sale. Unfortunately, one of them broke after only a few weeks of use…
It appears that the wood has split a bit around where the leg screws into it. I've looked online for a tutorial about fixing it, but have found nothing that addresses our particular problem. It seems as though it may be more serious than just sanding and wood glue. I'm worried that it might not be fixable. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Glenn Dyer's TV ratings: a terrible night for Ten and pay TV
The double-whammy of The Block and My Kitchen Rules meant there was very little audience share left over for other channels.
Mar 26, 2014
The double-whammy of The Block and My Kitchen Rules meant there was very little audience share left over for other channels.
Seven's night as Resurrection blitzed the night on its debut (yes, it's a spooky US series, but that's what is the big idea in US TV is at the moment). It had 2.820 million national/ 1.911 million metro / 909,000 regional viewers last night, a very strong start. Seven clearly won all metro markets (including Melbourne where it has been very weak this year) and won regionals as well in convincing fashion. Seven rested Winners & Losers (its back later in the year) to put the short run Resurrection into the Tuesday night slot — it boosted viewing on Seven last night by around 1.5 million people.
But will it last? In the US it started two Sunday nights ago and topped the night with 10.8 million viewers but fell last Sunday night to 9.22 million. It was the most watched program on both nights. Australian viewers are quick to abandon popular imports — just look at the way Homeland, Elementary, NCIS (Ten), Sherlock (Nine), The Blacklist, Downton Abbey and Revenge have faded after very solid starts. It added to the solid performance of the elimination episode of My Kitchen Rules. which had 2.566 million national/ 1.721 million metro/ 845,000 regional viewers. Nine's The Block was left behind as usual, because it's not a key night in the program's week. It averaged a still very solid 1.930 million national/ 1.341 million metro/ 589,000 regional viewers.
And Ten — a 9.0% share in metro markets, and 8.7% in regionals for its main channel meant another night in fourth spot in all markets. Pay TV had a low 11.7% national share of prime time viewing last night for its 200+ channels because of the huge audiences watching My Kitchen Rules and The Block and then Resurrection. Sky News was the most watched channel on pay TV last night, which is an indicator of how weak the night was for the subscription sector. Not one program had 100,000 or more viewers on pay last night.

That's what I did, I googled contracts and put it together with the different language that applied, and I wanted in my contracts. Good for seeing the different wording.

I've been a busy bee all week! First, I went to the Desert Ice Castle in Cathedral City, CA to take a look at their fundraising effort called "Hot Summer Ice Show!" It's cool to cool off in the middle of the summer in the hot, hot desert!
And then, I cooled off my singing voice to take a look at "Seussical the Musical" playing at Palm Canyon Theatre in Palm Springs! I met Cat in the Hat and Horton! I love them both! This play is not only for the young, but for the young at heart as well!

I enjoyed the original reboot, 2011s Rise of the Planet of the Apes, so I was anxiously waiting for the sequel, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. How did director Matt Reeves (Cloverfield, Let Me In) do by taking the reins from original helmer Rupert Wyatt? And is the sequel better than the original? Find out in my movie review of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
Official Synopsis:
A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth's dominant species. (c) Fox
Cast (from Wikipedia)
Jason Clarke as Malcolm, a survivor of the ALZ-113 virus who, along with a small group of other survivors, forms a strong bond with the apes and Caesar.
Gary Oldman as Dreyfus, the leader of the surviving humans who wants to kill all the apes and get "revenge" for the deaths of his wife and two sons from the virus.
Keri Russell as Ellie, a former nurse with the CDC and survivor of the virus. She is Malcolm's second wife, Alexander's step-mother and knows the virus wasn't caused by the apes.
Kodi Smit-McPhee as Alexander, Malcolm's teenage son.
Jocko Sims as Werner, an ally of Dreyfus.
Kirk Acevedo as Carver, a member of Malcolm's group. He has an attitude problem and a strong hatred for apes.
Enrique Murciano as Kempt, a member of Malcolm's group.
Kevin Rankin as McVeigh
Keir O'Donnell as Finney
Evolved Apes
Andy Serkis as Caesar, a common chimpanzee who is the leader of the apes, king of the ape colony, husband of Cornelia, and father of River and an infant son. He is also the honorary uncle of Rocket's son, Ash.
Judy Greer as Cornelia, Caesar's wife, mother of River and a newborn son, and honorary aunt of Ash.
Terry Notary as Rocket, a common chimpanzee who is Caesar's second-in-command and one of his most trusted friends. Because of this, he is Caesar's children's honorary uncle.
Karin Konoval as Maurice, Caesar's Bornean orangutan third-in-command and member of the ape council who gets captured and held hostage by Koba.
Toby Kebbell as Koba, Caesar's ruthless bonobo adviser who believes his leader is too affectionate towards humans.
Doc Shaw as Ash, Rocket's teenage son, Caesar and Cornelia's honorary nephew, and River's best friend and honorary cousin.
Nick Thurston as River, Caesar and Cornelia's teenage son, honorary nephew of Rocket, and honorary cousin and best friend of Ash.

So come Oscar time, we may hear, Angelina Jolie BEST DIRECTOR! That's right, the "Maleficent" actress made a follow-up to her "In the Land of Blood and Honey" with "Unbroken," the true story of Olympic track star Louis Zamperini who enlisted in World War II and ended up being a prisoner of war by the Japanese. This one's based on Laura Hillenbrand with musch by Alexandre Desplat.
Yup, it has Oscar written all over it complete with a script from the Coen brothers!
Jack O'Connell plays Zamperini and joining him are Garrett Hedlund, Jai Courtney, and Domhnall Gleeson.
"Unbroken" opens on the Oscar-friendly date of...Christmas Day!
Take a look at the trailer for "Unbroken" below:

I love the last "Hunger Games: Catching Fire" and I'm sooooo looking forward to seeing "Mockingjay Part 1!" It's the revolution! Take a look at the new teaser-trailer showing President Snow (Donald Sutherland) addressing Panem with Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) and Johanna Mason (Jena Malone) by his side! It's all about propaganda! But then...Beetee aka Jeffrey Wright shows up and says, "The mockingjay lives!" Hurray!
We'll all see the mockingjay live on Nov. 21!

Finally, the first trailer for Ridley Scott's "Exodus: Gods and Kings" is here, and boy oh boy, it promises to be epic! Like Cecil B. DeMille epic! Like a gargantuan "Gladiator!"
Take a look at the Red Sea parting! Listen to the cover of Simple Minds' "Belfast Child!" It's all glorious!
The film brings back to mind Darren Aronofsky's "Noah," but then again, did anyone see the movie? Hopefully, "Exodus" will not suffer the same fate so have faith all ye heathen!
In this adaptation, Christian Bale stars as Moses who dukes it out with Pharaoh Ramses (Joel Edgerton barely recognizable) so he can free the slaves and escape Egypt's plagues. So "Ten Commandments" here we come! But, according to Bale, there will be shocking stuff so Scott and company may be a bit liberal in adding or subtracting passages from the bible. Yup, just like "Noah."
I wonder how they will explain the parting of the Red Sea? Environment aka Global Warming perhaps?
Regardless, I still can't wait to see the movie when it opens in theaters on December 12, just in time for Oscar consideration!
"Exodus: Gods and Kings" also stars Aaron Paul, Ben Kingsley, John Turturro, and Sigourney Weaver.

I take the role of a mother extremely serious. So much so that I have resolved to not have any children until I have matured more, not only financially but also emotionally and mentally. I take my role as a Black mother as an even more vital role due to the circumstances that come along with living as a Black woman in our current social platform. Being a mother to a daughter comes with an even greater weight of responsibility than it has ever in the recent past.
You see, it is more than just putting food in front of her little faces, making sure she is dressed with the most exclusive name brand clothing and primping her hair. You are molding her self identity. You are assisting in the creation of her self confidence and self perception. A self perception that can often last a young girl into womanhood.
The habits that mothers install in their daughters can last them for the rest of their lives. Which is why it is essential that we teach our daughters from a young age that their hair never has and never will define their beauty. In no way am I stating that Black women should teach their daughters to forego any hair care or maintenance. However, a balancing act has to be installed or she will become one of the many Black women who not only are obsessed with their hair, but also define their self worth and beauty through it.
Think about it. We are a culture who teaches our children, daughters specifically that our hair is key to our beauty. We fuss over it being nappy. We celebrate when there is slightest sign of a curly pattern, signifying "good hair" in a baby's hair. We spend millions on weave, hair products made specifically for our texture of hair, and trips to the salon yearly. We use the texture of a person's hair as a means to taunt or deteriorate/determine a person's worth. How many times have you heard or said the phrase "that nappy headed such and such" about someone who pissed you off?
There is no doubt that we are a culture who obsesses over our hair and defines our beauty and self worth through it. Only recently has natural hair become more accepted again and even that can come with a certain amount of side eye looks from people who look just like you. While you might be thinking right now that women of all races fuss over their hair and spend money on regular trips to the salon, I can say that I agree with you. So why am I coming down so hard on the sistas?
The one major differentiating fact between that of say a White woman who goes to the salon constantly versus a Black woman, is the one that you will hear me referencing regularly. Black women unfortunately are born with several predetermined strikes against her. Here are the facts ladies: Your chocolate daughter will be born with several strikes against her. One is that she is female. Strike one. Unless you are wealthy or are born into a family with extreme wealth then she will also be considered poor. Strike 2. She is Black. Huge strike three. She will be born into a world that does not fully recognize Black females as being equal to their White counterpart in any capacity. Whether it be intelligence or beauty. Strike 4.
Having said that here is the bigger picture: There is absolutely nothing wrong with you teaching your daughter how to maintain and upkeep her hair. It only becomes self destructive when you, the mother, engage in obsessive behavior over your or your child's hair. For instance, I know sistas who will put a relaxer in their daughter's hair when she is barely out of pampers. They are so afraid that their daughter will be seen as nappy headed that they would risk putting chemicals on a toddler's sensitive hair to achieve a slightly straighter and temporary look. There are sistas who will forego paying a bill in favor of going to the salon or purchasing a pack of weave. God forbid she goes to work without her hair being laid. She refuses to be the source of gossip for her coworkers for 8 hours. Damn the light bill. Sure it sounds comical when you put it in those terms. But we all know a woman who behaves likes this. When you consider how many sistas have young daughters who are silently watching mommy's decisions and actions and making mental notes of them, it becomes a less funny scenario.
With so many predetermined strikes against her, your best bet is to assure that she understands that her beauty does not come from her hair, breast, booty or any other miscellaneous feature on her. There must be a deeper connection to her own self worth that you must install in her as being much bigger than her physical attributes.
We are our daughters first role models. Before she figures out who Beyonce, Rihanna or Nicki Minaj is she will look to Mama to guide her in her discovery of her self identity. Hair is an important staple in Black culture and Black beauty and there is nothing wrong with that. It only becomes a negative when it becomes an obsession and a means to internalize self worth.

The local librarian was kind enough to set this book aside for me. She knows of my slight obsession with testing out cookbooks. She thought I would like this one because of the pretty pictures.
From the beginning, I was completely and utterly entranced with this cookbook. As soon asI flipped it open, I wanted to buy a copy. This rarely happens to me. Other than the (ridiculous) title of the book (which opens itself up to endless mocking), the book is appealling, both for the use of local veggies and for the flexible nature of the recipes themselves. The sub-title is "inspired flexible meals for vegetarians, meat lovers and everyone in between). The premise is that you can please many members of your family without having to make a separate meal for each one. The "base" recipe (rice or other grains) and the sauces are similar, it's just the protein that changes (either meat, fish, tofu or seitan).
The book is organized like Suzanne Goins, Sunday Suppers at Lucques. It's organized by season and then by menus. Each menu consists of 2-4 items. The recipes are significantly less labor intensive and at the beginning of each menu, it gives the cook a plan to help organize the cooking. This is a clever idea that more cookbook authors should pick up on.
So far, I have made two partial menus and have been quite pleased with the results. This could be my new favorite cookbook. Part of this could be that I used recipes showcasing the native corn and tomatoes that are in season, but the other seasons' menus look just as appetizing. Posts to follow.

Last year TIME magazine named YouTube the invention of the year, and this time round the magazine has chosen Apple's latest gadget: the iPhone.
The reasoning behind the award come down to 5 key statements made by the magazine. These are that the iPhone:
- Is pretty
- Is touchy-feely
- Will make other phones better
- Is not a phone, it's a platform
- Is the ghost of iPhones yet to come
To break those down further, the magazine believes the design of the phone actually aids the technology it houses, making it easier to use, and the little touches really help. The inclusion of a touchscreen and the GUI built on top of that making use of the multi-touch tech are also commended as offering something new, tactile, and interactive.
Apple's deal with AT&T to exclusively distribute the iPhone is seen as having a long term and positive effect on other phones that get released. Because Steve Jobs managed to keep the design of the phone under the control of Apple, other mobile phone manufacturers will want the same control, meaning they have more freedom to innovate.
TIME is also heralding the iPhone as the first "walk-around computer" since it manages to offer a platform for applications such as Google Maps to work away from a computer. The release of an SDK is also seen as a positive step to allow others to innovate and take the iPhone in new directions. That also leads into its final positive point about the iPhone being the first in a new generation of mobile phones and the potential that holds for the future.
TIME admits that the phone has its faults and cites problems such as the price, size, and interoperability support issues as all detracting factors. Overall, though, the magazine believes the design and innovation included in the phone make it deserving of the award, and because it demonstrates what the future promises for our mobile handsets.
Read more at InformationWeek and TIME Magazine.
Matthew's Opinion
In the U.K., we have to wait until Friday before we get the iPhone, but the wave of anticipation from the U.S. launch has made a lot of people want one, and no doubt all the stock has already been depleted by pre-orders.
I have heard a lot of positive and negative press about Apple's latest gadget–from the sudden price changes and hacks to the very usable interface and the general look of the device. I have always been an Apple skeptic and have never liked the iPod mainly due to its restrictive nature. I get the same vibe from the iPhone, but cannot fault its clear differences with current mobile phones on the market.
Apple should be commended for trying to push the mobile phone in new directions, and I agree with TIME that this is bound to have a positive effect on the market as a whole.

Well, tonight I made chicken with 40 cloves of garlic and while it's a fabulous dish it seems that I'm not into whole roasted cloves although I often rub a schmear of roasted garlic on chicken but I imagine that's in lower quantities. However, I love raw garlic and often throw it in last in sauteed dishes so that it's still quite raw. Now I know, I'm a garlic fan of all types, but I'm really a raw garlic fan. Do you have a favorite way to eat garlic?

The question
I often use the V-necked sweater to dress up a casual look, especially when I travel. Is it too 'faux' to layer a crew-necked T-shirt under a V-necked one?"
The answer
It's not at all faux. It's just really boring. How is a V-neck T-shirt going to dress anything up? A T-shirt is a T-shirt, and a V-necked one is no more formal than a crew. And if a V-neck is more interesting than a crew, why not wear it on its own? Because it's too revealing? Wow, you really are a guy.
The layered-T-shirt look looks really frat-boy to me. It expresses extreme sartorial caution; it means golf or poker nights with the guys. In a word – it represents the boy's life or, as you say, uncomfortable long-distance travel.
Sure, the days when people thought it proper to dress up to travel are long gone. I remember as a child being pushed into a tweed jacket and tie for long transatlantic flights. I never questioned why such discomfort was necessary. I just knew it was because my dad said it was.
Years later, I realized that the practice was a sure sign of being lower-middle-class. The rich had no such obsession with respectability. It's just as well that useless constriction during travel is passé. Air travel has grown generally more uncomfortable than it ever was; there's no sense in subjecting your best clothes to the pretzelled sweat-ball your body will become. And yet many of us have a sense that the extreme relaxation of travel outfits has gone a little too far. When half the adults in your cabin are wearing some variation on pyjamas, you develop a sense that the world is regressing to an infantile state.
David Sedaris put this best in his last collection of essays: "I should be used to the way Americans dress when travelling, yet it still manages to amaze me. It's as if the person next to you had been washing shoe polish off a pig, then suddenly threw down his sponge saying, '[Expletive] this! I'm going to Los Angeles!' "
Your travel outfit doesn't sound nearly that bad, but still, it doesn't need to be so square. A nice heavy cotton, unfaded T-shirt – crew or V – can be an elegant accessory to a blazer or cotton jacket. If the blazer is too fancy for your flight (maybe you're going to the Serengeti?), and you're worried that a single shirt might not be warm enough, have you considered a trim Eisenhower jacket? Jackets, with their lightly structured shoulders, are always more flattering than sweaters.

Words exchanged in White Sox dugout
Ramirez, Pierzynski separated by mates; Guillen displeased
By Scott Merkin / MLB.com
It's an unofficial code of behavior followed around Major League Baseball. On Monday night at the Metrodome, that code would have to be amended for the White Sox: What happens in the dugout, stays in the dugout.
After an Alexi Casilla stolen base in the bottom of the second inning of the Twins' 4-3 win, an agitated A.J. Pierzynski exchanged words with shortstop Alexei Ramirez in the Chicago dugout between innings. Ramirez was covering second base on the stolen-base attempt.
The comments from Pierzynski, which continued as he walked away from Ramirez, culminated with Ramirez angrily walking toward Pierzynski and eventually being pulled away by right fielder Jermaine Dye. Most of the exchange was caught on camera, leaving the White Sox parties involved with some explaining to do.
After the game, the White Sox had few specifics to share regarding the dugout disagreement.
"I'm not commenting on that," Dye said. "Go ask the players involved or the manager."
Pierzynski and manager Ozzie Guillen had little more to say about what transpired.
"That's us, that's private," Guillen said.
"Whatever happened, happened," Pierzynski said. "It's over. You move on. And that's it."
This exchange of words also followed an inning in which the White Sox committed two errors, leading to a pair of unearned runs. Pierzynski said the disagreement had nothing to do with the poor inning or the White Sox rough road run.
"[It] had nothing to do with anything, had nothing to do with the way the team is playing," Pierzynski said. "It happened. It's over. We'll move on."
Guillen echoed the same sentiment. But a combination of the White Sox miscues, their fourth loss in five games on an important seven-game road trip against American League Central foes, and the disagreement among comrades left the manager a little bit more animated than usual.
When the parties involved had calmed down, Guillen whipped a towel to the ground and then kicked a bucket of chewing gum. Numerous pieces went flying on to the field near the dugout, bringing an end to a brief in-house disturbance.
"I don't like my players digging into each other for no reason," said Guillen, intimating the cause of the spat. "I'm the one that makes those calls. I was a little upset about it, but that's part of the game."

Mark Zuckerberg has announced his desire for Facebook to compete directly with Google as a search engine, while Google is experimenting with allowing advertisers to target search ads based on demographic and interest data. So who will win the battle for internet supremacy?
Last year, Facebook launched its first attempt to get into the search market with Graph Search. In essence, Graph Search shows search results based on the interests and activities of a user's friends . For example, you can search for photo, game, movie, and restaurant suggestions based on your friends' likes. This ambitious attempt to jump into the ring and square off with Google has proved to be more of a challenge than Facebook may have initially realized. According to an interview last month with BusinessWeek, Mark Zuckerberg confessed that saying Graph Search worked half the time would be generous.
That said, Zuckerberg isn't discouraged with the search market. In fact, at his 2013 fourth quarter earnings call, he made it clear that competing in this space was a top priority. Zuckerberg also defended the progress they have made with Graph Search stating that, "(T)he first release [of Graph Search] indexed more than a trillion connections between all the people and interests and events and groups and things that everyone was connected to. … (A) trillion pieces of content is more than the index in any web search engine." Exaggerated or not, this claim shows the potential Facebook has to develop a search engine that truly understands the complex relationships between people and their interrelated content. While this news is very exciting and has huge implications, according to Zuckerberg they expect it to take 10 years to get it where they want it to be. Considering that these companies have only existed for a combined 25 years, 10 years in this industry can seem like an eternity.
While the arrival of the perfected Facebook search engine may not be imminent, it is important to clarify why the thought of a Facebook search engine likely scares Google. Google has been trying since the introduction of Google+ to integrate personalized social results with classic search. Despite Google's best efforts, Google+ has yet to gain the type of dedicated following Facebook has. This poses a unique opportunity for Facebook to do exactly what Google has been trying to do with Google+: a truly personalized search engine experience that directly integrates the interests of you and your friends into your organic search results. In addition, if Facebook is successful in creating a functioning and effective search engine, they could also dramatically increase their ad revenue. As advertisers gained the ability to show demographically- and interest-targeted ads to searchers outside of Facebook, they would likely spend more and more as they had more chances to reach potential customers.
One advantage that Facebook has had over Google is its access to extensive accurate user demographic and interest data. The ability to target a prototypical customer who has expressed interest in your industry or field has at times made Facebook a more efficient way to spend marketing dollars to target potential customers.
To try and combat this competitive advantage, Google has had general targeting based on this information for display ads for the last several years. This demographic and interest data is estimated based on a user's search history, as well any other Google account history. In addition, to expand on the targeting abilities, Google is currently beta testing expanded demographic and interest targeting for search ads. While it's hard to say how accurate their profiling of users is currently (check what Google thinks you are here), it is safe to say that it should only improve in accuracy over time as it acquires more and more user information. Once this feature goes mainstream and is generally considered reliable, it poses a real threat to Facebook advertising. A marketer that is using Facebook ads for the demographic and interest targeting capabilities might be inclined to switch the majority of their budget over to Google AdWords if they could use the similar targeting capabilities in addition to keyword search. Google is also expanding their affinity segments, which equate to interest categories, for expanded targeting capabilities on display and (eventually) search. Because it would marginalize their competitive advantage, Google's efforts to provide demographic and interest targeting poses a huge threat to Facebook.
Let loose in our free market economy, it seems that competition has driven Google and Facebook to try and outdo one another at their own game. While it could easily be a decade before these services are fully effective and widely adopted by both users and marketers, they pose significant opportunities and threats for both Google and Facebook. For the moment, however, it seems that both companies are thriving in the fields they know best, and have the dedicated followings and systems to be in a position to succeed for years to come. So if you are still wondering who wins the battle for internet supremacy, it seems to me the answer is clear. An improved experience for both users and advertisers on both platforms that come about as a result of these two behemoths battling head to head means that we are all the true winners.

Sheffie Kadane Keeps the Hits Coming
I just spent more time than I should have watching a meeting of the Transportation & Trinity River Corridor Committee. The big topic today was Uber and whether we need new rules to govern it and like services. The highlight of the meeting, for me, was when Councilman Sheffie Kadane asked, "How did all of this change come about?" By "change," he meant everything that has happened since about 1955. In response to Kadane's question, someone from city staff patiently tried to explain to him how the internet and smartphones work. It was priceless. Anyway, not much was accomplished. After a bunch of back-and-forthing, the committee decided to form a work group to investigate the issue.

The Joint Commission, the nation's major hospital accreditation board, is releasing its annual list of hospitals that have excelled at adhering to basic procedures for treating common illnesses such as heart attacks and strokes.
The commission is recognizing 620 hospitals – 18 percent of those it accredits — as "top performers" for following recommended protocols at least 95 percent of the time. That was an increase over last year, when, in its first effort to publicly single out hospitals based on performance, the commission praised 405 institutions. Some of the increase was due to hospitals performing better, but the commission this year also started evaluating psychiatric hospitals, 43 of which got top grades.
The commission joins a number of groups rating hospital quality by their own metrics. This year, the Leapfrog Group, a nonprofit devoted to patient safety, got into the act, as did Consumers Reports. Next month Medicare is going to start using hospital quality rankings on its Hospital Compare website to set reimbursements.

Numbing Gel May Make Mammograms Less Painful
A study found that women who had a numbing gel applied to their breasts about an hour before having a mammogram experienced less discomfort than women who had a gel without the numbing ingredient (a placebo gel) applied or who took acetaminophen (one brand name is Tylenol), ibuprofen (one brand name is Advil), or a placebo pill an hour or so before the mammogram.
Acetaminophen or ibuprofen didn't affect the amount of discomfort the women felt during the mammogram.
The numbing gel, such as the Topicaine used in this study, doesn't need a prescription.
About 400 women were part of the study.
Based on these results, applying a numbing gel to the breasts about an hour before a mammogram seems to be a safe and helpful choice for women who have had discomfort during mammograms in the past. The numbing gel also may be a good option for women who don't get regular mammograms because they're worried about pain.
Annual screening mammograms starting at age 40 save lives by finding breast cancer early, when it's most treatable. Still, more than half of women in the United States don't get regular mammograms. Compressing the breast against the X-ray plate during a mammogram helps get the best image. But the compression can be uncomfortable and even quite painful for some women. Fear of this discomfort or pain is a big reason why many women don't get regular mammograms.
This study also found that if a woman was dissatisfied with her most recent mammogram, she was less likely to get her next scheduled mammogram on time. Discomfort/pain was only one factor that influenced mammogram satisfaction. Mammogram satisfaction was higher when:
- a woman had a personal history of breast cancer
- the person doing the mammogram clearly explained what was going to happen
- the person doing the mammogram was attentive to the needs and concerns of the woman during the procedure
- the person doing the mammogram seemed to genuinely care about the woman having the mammogram
It's not surprising that the person doing the procedure plays an important role in how a woman feels about getting a mammogram. The human touch matters with mammograms and all healthcare.
If you've had discomfort or pain during a mammogram or are putting off having a regular mammogram because you're concerned about discomfort, you might want to try these tips:
- Do your homework. Ask family, friends, and healthcare professionals about their experiences with various mammogram centers and technicians.
- Manage your expectations. A mammogram may be uncomfortable, but the bottom line is that it's your health and possibly your life at stake.
- Manage your anxiety. Bring a friend, your favorite music, or whatever best relaxes you.
- Stay in control. Before and during the mammogram, let the person doing the mammogram know what you need to make your mammogram experience the best it can be.
- Think about using a numbing gel on your breasts before you leave for your mammogram. It can be a bit messy but it's safe as long as you aren't allergic to anesthetic medicines.
Never skip a scheduled mammogram without a very good reason AND without talking to your doctor about your concerns and your options. Visit the Breastcancer.org Mammogram section to learn more, including things to consider when deciding where to get a mammogram.

Animal advocates are demanding the resignation of Australia's president of the Pet Industry Association after he posed smiling in a photograph holding a dead cat.
According to Australian newspaper, the Herald Sun, Pet Industry Association of Australia president Steve Austin is pictured smiling with two friends as he holds a dead feral cat dangling by its neck off a piece of white rope.
PIAA chief executive officer Roger Perkins defended Mr. Austin, saying he was "having a bit of fun'' after a day of hunting feral cats in the Kimberleys.
Mr. Austin defended himself saying, "This judgment does not reflect my feeling toward companion animals and as PIAA president I respect people's passion for their pets and am committed to ensuring our pets welfare.''
Austin went on to say that feral cats were not like ordinary house pets. "Feral cats, like the one pictured, are not like our friendly pet moggy but are a devastating problem that decimate and kill our Australian wildlife in the millions,'' he said.
Animal advocates across Australia are demanding Austin step down as president.
Debra Tranter, founder of animal advocacy group Oscar's Law, was quoted as saying, "This is the president of PIAA, which represents thousands of pet owners, was quite happy to pose for a disgusting photo with a cat dangling off a rope. It just shows complete disregard and lack of respect...Animals should be treated humanely and with respect even if they are dead,'' she said.
We want the PIAA to remove Steve Austin as the president in light of his disregard for the life of any cat, whether feral or tame.

It's not easy to follow a certain business model for years in a row and then step things up all of a sudden, especially in a smartphone décor filled with OEMs that have solid reputations and plenty of money to spend.
Still, that's exactly what a number of Chinese phone manufacturers are doing, starting off with Huawei, known to most Westerners until now exclusively for low-end budget-friendly devices. The Ascend D2 and Ascend Mate have made quite the impression at CES 2013, but that's not all Huawei is planning to intro in the high-end Android niche.
The Ascend P2 is also due out soon, according to a number of sources. The phone was first leaked a couple of weeks ago, but now we have even more details about it and a supposed "press shot".
The thing is, today's leaked specs are not similar to the previously rumored ones, so we're unsure who to believe. If we were to take the latest report for granted, we'd expect the P2 to come with a 4.5-inch Full HD panel, a 1.8 GHz quad-core CPU, 2 GB of RAM, a 13 MP camera, and a 3,000 mAh battery. Which would make the P2 a slightly sized down, but equally as powerful D2. Okay, where do we sign up?

Incredible. As a complete contrast to your previous FE fanfiction, this one is hysterically amusing. The mechanical horse plot device was magnificently creative (you seem to be one of the few others that I've met that have ever read, 'Scud: The Disposable Assassin'), and I love the manner in which you describe the characters (along with how they seem to be utter contrasts to how they appear in the games... Rain is seemingly a dolt, and Hana is quite a bit more serious) and their behavior. Also, the dialogue is top-notch, with very believable interplay between the characters. The developing relationship between Hana and Rain is definitely something that I'm enjoying (where are you, and why aren't you writing additional chapters?), and the concept of that insane world appeals to my demeted perception of humor. Giant pink robotic teddy bears with machine cannons and RPG launchers? Incredible! Also, the names of the 'Paragnomes' were creatively stolen from various other characters (Maude Flanders... She's been resurrected as a gnome! Wow, will there be any characters adding 'diddly', or 'dokly' to a sentence? Please, please, please, ensure that, if you do, this character dies a terrible and humorous death at the hands of a beer-swilling, obese, bald, yellow teddy bear...).
In essence, this is one of the most amusing pieces of parody\AU\humor fiction that I've ever read, and I'm anxiously awaiting further installments. If you don't continue this, I'll be dispatching a special, MONSTROUSLY HUGE Teddy Bear with Rain's patented Hypervelocity (I still prefer the term, 'Lorenz Force Field-Based Slug Cannon, or just the old-fashioned 'Rail Gun') cannons mounted on every available square cm of its body as an incentive...

Boston officials yesterday approved the construction of two more towers at the Prudential Center, despite opposition from lawmakers and neighbors who object to the height of the buildings.
The properties, a 17-story office tower at 888 Boylston St. and the 27-story Exeter Residences, would be the final two buildings at the Prudential site, which was first developed in the mid-1960s. But these two projects, in particular, have drawn sharp criticism, with opponents arguing to the final moments before city approval came yesterday.
"I'm disappointed that the Boston Redevelopment Authority has approved excessively scaled buildings, particularly in light of the overwhelming community opposition," said state Representative Marty Walz, a Back Bay Democrat.
The Prudential Center's owner, Boston Properties, initially received approval for an 11-story building at 888 Boylston, a proposed height that complied with a city-approved master plan for the property. But this year the company sought to increase the height by almost 90 feet, saying it needed at least six more floors to make the project economically viable.
The $192 million project will include 422,000 square feet of offices and retail space on the lower floors. It also calls for upgrades to the Boylston Street plaza, which will be expanded by 1,000 square feet and adorned with new plantings, lighting, and seating. Construction is expected to begin in the spring.
Exeter Residences will contain 188 apartments, including three affordable units in the building and another 49 to be spread among three other residential buildings at the Prudential Center. The $129 million project is being managed by Avalon Bay Communities Inc., which co-owns the development with Boston Properties. The developers earlier this year had reduced the size of that building by three floors. Work on the complex is also scheduled to begin in the spring.
Supporters of the two developments argued that they will fill gaps in the neighborhood's streetscape and create 1,600 construction jobs and 3,000 permanent positions.
"We're in a recession, and we have a developer here who wants to move forward and put my members to work," said Michael Durant, business manager for Iron Workers, Local 7, of South Boston. He said the union has 400 jobless members as a result of the construction slowdown.

Perfect fit, easy installation and looks great!
Excellent luggage rack. Had H-D's on before this one and liked this one much better
The rack looks great. The installation was a little more than expected for such a simple design. the bolt locations could have been reversed to allow access from the outside of the unit instead of working between the fender and the underside of the rack. The diameter of the mounts was loose when fully tightened, had to wrap rubber around the bracket to make up the space. not too much trouble for anyone that is resorceful. Overall satisfied with the product.
looks great

Veteran's Day: Eight Hours With Obsidian
Moxie had the opportunity to visit Obsidian's offices, checking out NWN2's development and adding +4 to his geek credentials in the process. The article has been in the works for some time but even with the imminent release of NWN2, should be an entertaining read for anyone following Obsidian:
An all-night drive that started at 4:00 AM in Phoenix ends at 9:00 AM in Obsidian's parking lot in Anaheim, California. Kalia shows up and we brief for the day. She knows this game inside and out. The questions that I've written down about storytelling and worldcrafting seem even more esoteric in comparison to her list covering everything from prestige classes to weapon specializations. If she gets answers to everything here, I think we'll be able to build the game ourselves.
