An interactive mapping effort tries to find where locals think their neighborhoods actually are.
The borders of neighborhoods are very rarely clear. We sorta have an idea about where they begin and end, but we don't often all agree. A new set of maps of Boston neighborhoods shows just how contentious neighborhood geography can be.
The maps come to us from Bostonography, a Boston-focused cartography website we introduced you to back in November. Run by cartographers Andy Woodruff and Tim Wallace, the site uses a wide variety of data sets and concepts to create maps of Boston, from bus information to the colors of pictures on Flickr to the locations of specific breeds of trees.
Woodruff and Wallace have come across more than their share of data sets and maps. One consistent area of frustration has been the city's neighborhoods, which are defined differently by various city departments.
"It seems that nobody can really agree where these neighborhoods are in Boston, except for they know that they exist and they know roughly where they are. But they don't know where one ends and one begins, or whether one is a separate neighborhood at all," says Woodruff. "Everybody seems to have strong opinions, so why not ask the internet?"
Back in April they did just that, setting up an interactive mapping tool that invited people to physically draw out where they think each of the city's neighborhoods is located. About 300 maps of neighborhoods have been submitted, and they've compiled all the data to map out where the crowd thinks Boston's neighborhoods really are. Just like the city departments, not everyone agrees where one neighborhood ends and another begins. So Woodruff and Wallace created maps showing a gradient of agreement on each neighborhood's boundaries. Each map show areas where there's more than 25 percent agreement, more than 50 percent agreement and more than 75 percent agreement.
This map shows the Jamaica Plain neighborhood. The purplish area in the middle is where most people agree the neighborhood exists. The bluish and greenish areas moving out are where there's less and less agreement.
Some neighborhoods, like Beacon Hill for example, have widely agreed upon boundaries, while others, like Roxbury, have huge disparities in where people think the edges lie.
The maps paint fascinating pictures of the movable boundaries of these neighborhoods, but Wallace says they've been limited by the amount of data people have submitted. Their interactive tool is still available, and they're hoping people will continue to add their own maps. "It would be a dream if we could get like 10,000 responses," says Wallace.
The maps are a 21st century version of some hand-drawn neighborhood boundary agreement maps created by the urban planner and author Kevin Lynch for his 1960 book The Image of the City, a seminal work that explores how people perceive cities, especially Boston, and which has clearly had a large influence on Bostonography.
Woodruff and Wallace agree that drawing hard lines around neighborhoods is difficult. It's useful – "tax assessors and school districts, you kinda need lines for that stuff," Wallace says – but hard lines might not be the best way to think about neighborhoods as parts of the city. In many ways, mapping a neighborhood is about mapping where you feel like you're in a specific place. The map of Dorchester, Wallace says, could be thought of as a map of its Dorchester-ness, the parts of it that feel most undeniably like Dorchester.
Mapping a feeling or the identifiable qualities of a place, understandably, is no exact science. A future post on the site will explore some of the areas where there's the most disagreement. Wallace says that some areas have simultaneously been mapped in up to five different neighborhoods. There's also places that have been left off the map completely. Yet another post will explore these places that didn't fit into any neighborhood. Even places without an identity can be mapped.
These neighborhood maps are as much a snapshot of a point in time as they are a reflection of the culture of these places. The neighborhoods being outlined today may not be totally similar to those that might have been outlined 20 years ago, or 20 years from now.
As the map below shows, the North End has a high degree of agreement, thanks mainly to physical barriers. But one, the highway running along the western side of the neighborhood, isn't actually much of a barrier any more. The Central Artery, the mostly-elevated highway that cut through the city, was replaced with a tunnel, the famous Big Dig.
Now underground, the highway is no longer the imposing wall dividing two parts of the city. And yet most still see the North End ending at the now-buried highway. The memory of the Central artery still acts as a separating line, but it may not always.
"Part of the stated goal of tearing down that highway was to stitch the city back together," says Woodruff. "That would be a good area to watch."

Doggie Diaries: Adventures at the Library
|From Harpo's Diary: Tuesday, May 10, 2011
A root canal! Would you believe it? I need to go to the veterinarian dentist. One of my chompers has a problem. My teeth have enjoyed butcher bones, raw hide and jerky for the past eight years. I like to live life to the fullest, you see. And, I confess, I am an infrequent brusher. And now, I feel like the rabbit on the cover of Aaaaaaah! El Dentista No! by Stephanie Blake. And then I tell myself it's all good, it'll all be fine and I comfort myself with Green Puppy Goes to the Dentist by J.C. Schwanda. My appointment is tomorrow… Wait until my PAL buds here about this!
With dental worries on my mind, the library was a great place to come for distraction. I heard Grody's Not So Golden Rules by Nicole Rubel, Berenstain Bears' New Pup by Stan and Jan Berenstain, and Pizza for Sam by Mary Labatt. And Miss Julie gave me lots of extra love and attention.
Peace and Love,
The Big H (A.K.A. Harpo)

I'm a wedding planner/floral designer from the last small beach town in Southern California. My husband Robert is an amazing artist (he built the beds you'll be sleeping in and did most of the artwork you will find on the property) designer and sculptor, and he is a highly skilled massage/bodywork therapist with clients ranging from professional athletes to those in wheelchairs - and everyone in between! Please let us know if you would like to book a massage with him.
We love: Traveling (Hawaii is a big one, as we have family there, but we have been to Japan, Sweden, Denmark, Australia, England, Thailand, Cambodia, Costa name a few) the beach, watersports, volleyball, art, music, (good) design, Pixar movies, gardening (well, ONE of us does...I am much better at working with cut flowers..). We love traveling in the States as well, our big favorites are exploring our home California coast, San Francisco, Hawaii, Yosemite, Aspen Valley in Colorado, and the beaches anywhere we can find them.
Things I can't live without: English Tea, the latest book I'm reading, Thai or Indian (read: SPICY!) food, tempranillo, viognier, champagne, dark chocolate, my husband, Radiohead, our kitty Smalls/Bittle/Beale (she's not picky), our "JackRat" puppy Bao and my iPhone. Not in that order.
We spend quite a bit of time working on our 1928 California cottage house....Most recently, we added beautiful stone to our front porch and stairs, new stones my husband collected outside as hardscape, and a new collection of planter boxes to the grounds. It gets nicer all the time here, so come on back, something is sure to be different! Please ask if you like something, it may be available for purchase!
As hosts, the most frequent comment we hear is, "you need to raise your prices" - and our answer is, "nope". We want to provide you with an AMAZING experience & we love to give local recommendations, tips and things to do. What we want you to do as guests? Enjoy OJAI !! Get the appetizer, bottle of wine, souvenir from one of the local shops- that is why we keep our pricing as low as we possibly can. We are mindful of your needs, which may simply be for some much-needed down time.

Parents of gay cyberbullying victim denounce overturn of New York's cyberbullying law
Parents of Tyler Clementi, who committed suicide after his roomate broadcast his sexual encounter, have condemned the repeal of New York's anti-cyberbullying law saying young people are the 'most vulnerable' online
New York's highest court on Tuesday struck down an ordinance in Albany County (New York) which outlaws 'cyber-bullying' against 'any minor or person'. The court called the law an overly broad statute that violates the First Amendment's protection of free speech.
'The language of the local law embraces a wide array of applications that prohibit types of protected speech far beyond the cyberbullying of children,' stated Associate Judge Victoria Graffeo in the 5-2 ruling.
The law made it a crime to electronically communicate 'private, personal, false, or sexual information,' intended to 'harass, annoy, threaten, abuse, taunt, intimidate, torment, humiliate, or otherwise inflict significant emotional harm on another person' for no legitimate purpose.
It includes disseminating embarrassing or sexually explicit photographs; disseminating private, personal, false or sexual information; and sending 'hate mail'.
Jane and Joseph Clementi, the parents of Tyler Clementi who killed himself by jumping off a bridge in September 2010, have condemned the court's decision.
Tyler, who was then 18 and just weeks into his first year at Rutgers University, committed suicide after his roommate Dharun Ravi broadcast the footage of his sexual encounter on the internet. Ravi was convicted year of invasion of privacy, bias intimidation and other counts, and served less than a month in jail.
The Wall Street Journal quoted legal experts as saying that the court's ruling could set a precedent for other state high courts hearing challenges to such laws, as well as for states and localities considering criminal penalties for cyberbullying.
Besides Albany, four other New York counties and more than a dozen states, including Louisiana and North Carolina, have similar laws.
The case emerged after a high school student in Albany County challenged the law's constitutionality after he pleaded guilty to one count of cyberbullying on the condition that he could challenge it. The student was arrested in 2011 after creating a Facebook page where he anonymously posted pictures of classmates with personal information and descriptions of their sexual activities. He has now been cleared of the charge.
The Clementis, who have set up the Tyler Clementi Foundation, wrote in a statement: 'In our work against cyberbullying, we are seeing the great pain and permanent emotional harm that cyberbullying causes children.
'This is why we strongly support legislation and legal action aimed at eliminating cyber aggression aimed at young people – the most vulnerable in the online space – particularly cyber aggression of a personal or sexual nature.
'With regard to the recent case in New York, we favour the approach of the dissenting opinion which would have used the well established severance doctrine to remove portions of the law, while leaving in place measures that are crucial to protecting young people online.
'Cyber bullying is a serious issue that deserves serious, comprehensive action by our courts and legislatures.'

Goldfields' health centre looks to share in $9m
An Eastern Goldfields' health centre is expected to receive funding when Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announces $9 million to improve health services for Indigenous mothers and babies.
It will be shared between 10 Indigenous health centres and is part of the pledge to halve the gap in mortality rates between Indigenous children and other Australians.
The mortality rate for Indigenous babies and children is up to four times higher than for the rest of the population.
Mr Rudd will update Parliament today on the goals he set in his apology to Indigenous Australians two years ago, including his pledge to close the infant mortality gap within a decade.
Greens' Senator Rachel Siewert says she does not expect dramatic progress yet.
"What we are looking for is meaningful commitments for programs rather than spin," she said.
"We're looking for proper benchmarking ... and also looking for evidence that they are addressing the underlying causes."

Santa Monica-based Vonjour is positioned at the center of all customer conversations; it is integrating the world of chat, email, text, voice and offline information and making the call center a reality for startups. By providing a hub to distill conversations and bring them together, enterprise software company Vonjour is giving a holistic view of what customers are saying and real time analysis of teams' responsiveness.
Set up a call center in five minutes
"Our strategy has been to take an enterprise product and make it accessible," said Daniel Tawfik, CEO and co-founder. With Vonjour, a business can set up a hardware-free Cisco level phone system (previously only for very sophisticated or large businesses) accessible on any device (mobile, tablet and web browser) in just five minutes.
Vonjour offers metrics on the distribution of calls, and how long they're on the phone, giving businesses a high-level understanding of what's going on. The software provides notifications such as a display on a smartphone when there's a spike in calls.
Tawfik says the bring your own device (BYOD) movement is not just a simple transplant of making a business call on your smartphone, but giving business analytics on customer calls with one button from a smartphone. The software brings the sophistication of an enterprise solution with no hardware, cross-platform accessibility and a seamless user experience to the SMB, which would have been an inaccessible market.
Vonjour's beta release
In February 2014, Vonjour released their beta product. The team gained some early traction and is doubling their growth every month. Currently they boast 1,200 business accounts and 5,500 users. Tawfik said the team was enthusiastic when they learned 322 businesses signed up in one weekend alone.
"This means the world to us, and leads us to believe were making people happy and want to share our solution," said Tawfik.
Looking forward to 2014
For 2014, the mobile suite will become available, which is what Vonjour customers are asking for every day.
Vonjour is also in the middle of a round of funding, and is hoping to close it in the next six weeks. When they take on more funding – they'll further differentiate their solution and integrate more layers, and customer support.
They also plan to grow their team to double its current size in coming months.
Getting started
Tawfik and his team hailed from Call Fire; a platform that powers text messaging and phone calls. They had many pain points, and saw a real need for an orchestration layer, one that would integrate voice, text and online channels into one holistic solution.
Vonjour got started with the idea that a next generation phone system should connect businesses to customers. The software intelligently connects you to your customers no matter where in the world they are.
Getting started, Daniel says the whole process was overwhelming. They were going from no one knowing you exist to getting a product out, and getting people to use it. They spent nine months building infrastructure and tech with no positive reinforcement to keep going.
"You have to persevere and keep your head down and know you're working on something important," Tawfik said.

The next step in the Mets' slow-moving search for a new closer looks like it will come at next week's winter meetings.
Free-agent closer Brian Fuentes plans to be in Las Vegas to speak with Met GM Omar Minaya, his agent told The Post yesterday. Fuentes then hopes to visit New York and tour Citi Field if the initial meeting goes well.
Meanwhile, at yesterday's deadline, the Mets offered arbitration only to Oliver Perez from their list of 11 eligible veterans. Minaya notably declined to offer arbitration to Pedro Martinez, yet another sign Martinez' stint in Queens is over.
Perez, a Scott Boras client, is virtually certain to decline the arbitration offer and become a free agent, because he is likely to be in demand this winter and is looking for a multi-year deal worth more than double per season the $6.5 million he made last year.
By offering Perez arbitration, the Mets now are in position to get two high draft picks if they don't re-sign him in free agency, because he is a Type A free agent.
Minaya will be busy with the closer issue in Las Vegas after the agent for Francisco Rodriguez said late last week that he also planned to meet with the Mets.
The Met GM appears to have the upper hand, as there's little, if any, competition for either K-Rod or Fuentes. One reason is the economic crisis that so far has put a chill on free agency. Another is the fact that most other big-market, big-budget teams are set at closer.
K-Rod's agent already has backed well off his initial demand of a five-year deal worth $15 million per season, saying he is "open to negotiate," while Fuentes seemingly could be had for as few as three years.
Sources said the Mets' first choice is Rodriguez, 26, who set the single-season record with 62 saves last season for the Angels. But the Mets would be just as happy with Fuentes, the sources said.
The 33-year-old Fuentes converted 30 of 33 save chances for the Rockies last season.
Nick Evans is ticketed for three to four weeks of therapy in his hometown of Phoenix after an MRI yesterday revealed he has a right quadriceps strain. The test was performed at Manhattan's Hospital for Special Surgery.
Evans was playing for Indios de Mayaguez in the Puerto Rican Winter League.

Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) University School cornerback Devin Gaulden has only one year of football under his belt and that one season ended up being a short one. The 5-foot-10, 175-pound defender played in only three games before an injury sidelined him for the final seven contests.
Still, the raw athlete piqued the attention of colleges across the country. Fully healthy this spring, Gaulden piled up scholarship offers as recruiters saw the potential in him. He says the offers came as a big surprise.
"I was offered in the spring by Wisconsin, Wake Forest, Boston College, Duke, Northern Illinois, Buffalo, Marshall, New Mexico and Bowling Green," Gaulden said. "They all came as a big shock to me.
Article Continues Below
"I haven't played much football and I didn't play in many games last year. I guess they liked what they saw from me in spring ball. It was a blessing to see all of these schools come through with offers."
However, it was an SEC program that eventually landed Gaulden's services.
"I committed to Auburn on July 22," he said. "They offered me after a camp earlier this summer. I went to the camp on July 18.
"That offer didn't really surprise me. The coaches wanted me to come to camp so they could see me in person. Since I didn't have much film, they wanted to see me before they offered. I knew I would go in there and perform well and I did."
It did not take Gaulden long to commit to the Tigers after the offer was extended.
"They had everything I was looking for," he said of Auburn. "They have great facilities and great coaches. The school was really nice and I liked everything about it.
"I didn't have to think [about committing] very long. I knew that was where I wanted to go even before visiting the campus and that trip just cemented it in my mind. It has everything I'm looking for."
It helps that his family was also on board with the decision.
"My dad and my grandfather also made the trip up there," Gaulden said. "They liked it a lot as well. They were excited when I told them I wanted to go there. They are all for me being a Tiger. Everybody is really excited."
In his three games last year, Gaulden put up solid numbers. He tallied 15 tackles, six pass breakups, one fumble recovery and a forced fumble for the Suns.

Nice one doru!
Cool project, Doru! Thanks, friend!:)
Great project just downloaded. The only issue I am having is in the 10s project, I cannot get content 06 to display on the phone for the output. the first five content pix display perfectly but on final output, the phone has a black screen instead of my chosen picture. Any idea why? Thank you, Mark
thank you for the purchase
I've verified the project and placed an image in the "10s_content_06" for the 10s project and it shows fine to me.
To verify if is a project error or a simple customizations issue, open an unmodified project (as it comes from the zip archive) and place an image inside the "10s_content_06" composition. Verify if the image appears on the phone screen.
Feel free to contact me through my profile page: http://videohive.net/user/doru and I will take a look at your project.
I'm assuming the problem above had been fixed since no one contact me
Very good project, doru!
2 questions before buying
1) i can do with that 100% my movements ? or what ever i wish? because i bought some templets from here before and it was made with servel programs so i couldnt edit in the way i wish..
2) ive open some other templates on cs5 on my mac and there was a error message saying that it cant open because the project was made on PC etc… i wil not have this problems with this template right ?
thanks in advence.
1. The phone is created inside After Effects and can be freely moved and rotated.
2. No one contacted me about this error for my templates. So I'm assuming you will be able to open the template with no problems on a Mac This is a strange error, btw, projects made on windows should work on Mac.
thanks u!
Well Done !!
This looks awesome and I have Adobe Flash CS5 but I have NEVER used it …. Will I be able to understand your tutorial and be able to create my video????
This is a template project made for Adobe After Effects CS4 or higher.
Adobe Flash is a different application that can't open this project file.
You can find more about After Effects at this link http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects.html
It is designed well. What I mean is that each composition within the project is logical and uses AE's 3D functionality. I bought this project because I needed to control the timing and orientation of the phone. This allowed me to do that. There were no hokey pre-renderings or series of PNG's simulating motion. It saved me the time of recreating this object myself. And I think it is designed well for someone who just wants to add images and text without reprogramming the 3D object.
Thank You for purchasing the project and for the nice review

Hope theme for funeral mass
The themes of hope and resurrection featured highly in the funeral mass for Cardinal Thomas Winning on Monday.
The requiem mass, at St Andrew's Cathedral in Glasgow, was celebrated by an estimated 300 priests from all over the world.
Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor, the Archbishop of Westminster and a close friend of Cardinal Winning, led the service.
The sermon was preached by the Right Reverend Joseph Devine, the Bishop of Motherwell and former Auxiliary Bishop in Glasgow.
The St Mungo's Singers formed the choir for the service, which contained more music than the conventional requiem mass.
The introduction to the order of service said: "In celebrating the funeral liturgy, the church recalls Christ's rising from the dead and trusts in Christ's promise that those who follow in faith will share his life forever.
"During this liturgy we pray for Cardinal Winning that God may grant him his eternal reward."
The Celtic invocation and the entrance hymn, Praise To The Holiest In The Height, featured in the first part of the order of service.
The Liturgy of the Eucharist, The Communion Rite, the Lourdes Benedictus, and the Final Commendation and Farewell, followed, interspersed with hymns and prayers.
At the end of the service, the cardinal's coffin was sprinkled with holy water as a reminder of his baptism, and incense burned as a symbol of prayers going to heaven.
His coffin was then carried out of the cathedral and buried in the crypt alongside his predecessors.

A Law Unto Themselves
The Yesha rabbis must be stripped of the status that has been built up over more than three decades, and the offenses of Israelis living in the occupied territories must be dealt with in the same way as offenses committed by people who do not have a rabbinic shield, be they wild weeds or domesticated plants.
"We're talking about a group of kids who are on the margins of the margins and don't listen to us," was how one of the rabbis in the West Bank described those who have been dubbed, rather romantically, the "hill youth." "Wild weeds" was another of the descriptions lavished on these young people by a representative of the Yesha Council of settlements. The idea, apparently, is that the education of these people, according to the principles and concepts that the rabbis and the leaders of the settlers in the occupied territories sought to inculcate in their children, was unsuccessful. However, the question is not only how far we should see the hooligan youths as exceptions - as distinct from the young people who beat up Arabs in the Hebron market - but how much self-righteousness can be taken from a spiritual-political leadership that differs from the hooligans only in their style of action.
It's worth examining how these rabbis and functionaries obtained a status so powerful that it enables them to act as a buffer between the law and its violators. After all, community leaders, even if they have the title of rabbi, are not authorized to act as policemen or judges and have no right to invoke a private law book or to decide on the gravity of particular offenses. Community leaders, particularly in an isolationist community, derive their power solely from their status within the community, and there is no reason to grant them mega-status in the eyes of those who are not members of that community. Outside their community, their authority cannot exceed that of any lobbyist trying to promote the community among those who are empowered by the law.
The status of "Jewish dignitaries," who are negotiated with and who decide on security arrangements and sign agreements, has created the illusion that there really is a Jewish administration with authority that has been established for the convenience of the legal government in Israel. That illusion has already fomented the shameful argument in which the defense minister has to prove in no uncertain terms that there was no agreement between him and the Yesha Council concerning the status of the Havat Gilad outpost.
It follows that the term "Yesha leaders" or "Yesha rabbis," referring to a collective leadership that is responsible for the actions of its public, is misleading. The Yesha Council was not created out of thin air and is not a body that recruited its voters; rather, it was elected by settlers. Therefore it is not the council that is responsible or not responsible for their actions; rather, those who voted for the council are responsible for its behavior. Nor are they the only ones responsible.
The thin line between the authority to promote the cause of ideological settlers by means of a council the settlers elected, and the assumption of sweeping authority to manage all the affairs of all the settlers has been drawn by Israeli governments since 1967. It was they who vested the Yesha Council - or the amorphous body known as "Yesha rabbis" - with the exclusive power to make use of a direct phone line to the Prime Minister's Office and to the bureaus of cabinet ministers. That authority expanded to encompass authority to establish an autonomous army and create a quasi-umbrella commission for construction and building in the territories. The result is the emergence of a highly dangerous situation in which monopolies that must remain in the hands of the state, if it wishes to continue to exist as a governing body, have passed into the hands of pressure groups that have turned the Bible into the legal code.
What needs to be done, then, is to restore the members of the Yesha Council to their original status: in charge only of yeshivas, synagogues and religious schools; managing the budgets of the councils properly and attending to the other affairs that community leaders and those with statutory responsibility are empowered to deal with. The Yesha rabbis must be stripped of the status that has been built up over more than three decades, and the offenses of Israelis living in the occupied territories must be dealt with in the same way as offenses committed by people who do not have a rabbinic shield, be they wild weeds or domesticated plants.

O's keep pace thanks to Wieters' 3-RBI night
O's keep pace thanks to Wieters' 3-RBI night
On Friday night, they finally conquered Red Sox ace Jon Lester.
Led by a three-RBI performance from catcher Matt Wieters and a solid start from former Boston farmhand Miguel Gonzalez, the Orioles picked up a 4-2 series-opening win at Fenway Park, handing Lester his first loss in 21 career starts against Baltimore.
At 86-64, the Orioles sit atop the AL Wild Card standings and trail the AL East-leading Yankees, who recorded a 2-1 walk-off victory vs. the A's, by just one game.
Every win is critical at this juncture for the Orioles, no matter how it comes, but beating a Boston team which has already secured a losing season and taking their eighth win in nine games at Fenway Park showed the stark turnaround of the two clubs from only a year ago.
"It's nice when you come to the ballpark in general and every game means something," said closer Jim Johnson, who set a new club single-season record by notching his 46th save. "You can feel it amongst the guys in the clubhouse and around the crowds we play in. We're even seeing for the first time Baltimore fans in Boston. I've never seen that before. It's pretty cool seeing how things are changing. It's a good time. We're enjoying the ride, but we're not satisfied."
Playing in meaningful September games, the Orioles extended their AL lead in road wins to 44 and also improved to 67-0 this season when leading after seven innings, with Johnson, who broke Randy Myers' mark set in 1997, continuing to make late leads hold up.
"He's been the best in the league, that's how we feel in this clubhouse," said Wieters, who is batting .368 with six runs scored and eight RBIs in his last four games. "Anytime we can get [Johnson] the ball we feel pretty good about what kind of job we are going to get."
The same can be said about Lester and the O's, as Boston's ace entered Friday's game on a 14-0 streak that was the longest against the Orioles franchise dating back to 1901 to start a career.
"It was bound to happen sometime," said Lester, who surrendered four earned runs in the loss. "Buck [Showalter] has done a good job over there as far as trying to change the mentality of their players. The offense was always there. They could always hit the ball and run and do the little things inside the game. They lacked a little pitching, whether it was starting or the back end of the bullpen, and they've done a good job of filling those pieces, and it's finally coming together for them."
One of those pieces is Gonzalez.
Released by the Red Sox over the winter and signed as a Minor League free agent, Gonzalez went at least six innings for the third consecutive start and picked up his seventh win of the season. The 28-year-old rookie held Boston to two runs and scattered seven hits and a walk with three strikeouts over 6 1/3 frames in his first career start against his former organization.
"I felt great," said Gonzalez, who insisted there was no added incentive in winning in Boston. "I think every win matters. It doesn't matter where you pitch. Every at-bat, every pitch, every inning matters right now, and we've just concentrated on that."
Lester outlasted him in going seven innings, but the Orioles -- namely, Wieters -- were able to do enough damage off the lefty. Wieters, coming off a rare two days off, knocked in two runs in the fourth inning on a sharp single down the first-base line to score J.J. Hardy and Adam Jones. Wieters struck again by doubling in Jones in the sixth and the Orioles pushed their total to four on Mark Reynolds' single to center field.
Gonzalez exited after a one-out single from Jose Iglesias, and reliever Darren O'Day took over and tossed 1 2/3 scoreless innings. O'Day, who has allowed just six of 41 inherited runners to score this year, turned the ball over to Johnson as the O's improved to 5-2 on a three-city, nine-game road trip.
"That's hard to do," Showalter said of winning games on the road, "but I've said many times that one common denominator for teams that get a chance to play in the postseason is you've got to compete on the road. And having guys like Jim Johnson and Darren O'Day and Gonzalez is what allows you to do that. It's the pitching."
Added Johnson: "We're just grinders -- a team, a bunch of guys who just battle. You know you have to go into enemy territory to try to steal some wins. They talk about how you have to win the series at home and protect on the road, but I feel like we go into every series expecting us to win. It's just that mindset we've had since the beginning of the year, and we've carried it the whole way through."

TiVo'ing Your PC
There are so many ways to interface between your home entertainment system and your home computer. The lines between the two are disappearing, but one product seemed to be stuck firmly on the entertainment side. The DVR seemed to only exist in the entertainment console, unless you could work things out with MythTV, Beyond TV, or Windows Media Center.
Until now.
Nero has a new system that will turn a Windows PC into a TiVo. Not just a DVR, TiVo-esque product, but full-on, licensed by TiVo, complete with the curvy remote you know and love. Called LiquidTV, it has the same program guide and interface, but it can also record to DVD or export to portable video devices.
There are two versions of Liquid TV. What's the difference?
There will be a $200 version that includes the beloved remote, a USB DTV tuner and antenna that will pull down HD broadcasts, and an IR blaster that will control external receivers that can be connected to the video card on your PC. If you have all that hardware, you can purchase the $100 software-only version.
Need more convincing? Either version comes with one year of TiVo service. Not too shabby.
The folks at CNET had a hands-on demo, so click on the link to read their comments.
Is it just me, or is the line between TV and computers getting even fuzzier than ever? -Leslie Shapiro

Sometimes the rope a dope works, and sometimes it just gets you punched in the face all night.
After finding a way to win despite being terribly outplayed by Anaheim on Friday, the Edmonton Oilers must have decided to get terribly outplayed by the New York Rangers on Sunday to see if it would work again.
It didnt.
They got punched in the face all night.
The Oilers had three shots in the first period, didnt get their 10th until the 30-minute mark, gave up their league-leading 12th and 13th shorthanded goals and were shut out at home for the ninth time this season in a 5-0 loss to the Blueshirts.
The Oilers escaped the first period with a 1-0 deficit thanks to Ben Scrivens, who gave up a Mats Zuccarello deflection to make it 1-0 at 16:30, but it seemed like it was only a matter of time.

The Bedroom Tax comes into effect on 1 April, one of a series of ill-thought out welfare "reforms" that will affect many hard pressed families in Shard End Ward.
There are over 9,000 households living in Birmingham City Council properties who will be directly affected and a further 5,500 who are tenants of housing association properties. Over 400 of these households can be found in Shard End Ward – one of the highest concentrations in the city.
I recently gave an interview setting out the impact that Bedroom Tax will have on people living in our community and the kind of work the City Council is doing to try and support them. You can view it by clicking on the image below.

Last week, I opened three new food bank collection bins at the City Council's Woodcock Street offices. The bins allow Council staff to contribute food which is then taken by the Salvation Army to Birmingham Central Food Bank, for distribution to families and children across the city.
The growing demand upon food banks is a sad reflection of the pressures that the people of Birmingham are facing as a result of welfare reform, spending cuts and the general economic situation. Here in Shard End Ward, we now have at least two food banks supporting hard pressed and vulnerable local residents and there is a growing network in neighbourhoods across the city.
I gave a short interview setting out the work that the City Council is doing, along with our partners, to try and help local people faced with these challenges. Click on the link above to watch.

For the first time in more than a month, Georgia has a head baseball coach.
Athletic Director Vince Dooley on Friday announced the hiring of Bulldog assistant coach David Perno as the Bulldogs' baseball coach. Perno replaces Ron Polk, who left to take the head coaching position at Mississippi State on June 18.
''This is a chance of a lifetime for me,'' said Perno, a 1991 graduate of UGA. ''It's a dream come true. At a young age to get an opportunity like this, I'm very excited.''
The 34-year old Perno has been an assistant coach with the Bulldogs since June 1996 and is an Athens native.
The job was offered to two other coaches, Tulane's Rick Jones and Baylor's Steve Smith, who received contract extensions and raises to stay at their respective schools. Several other coaches were also contacted about the position, including Miami's Jim Morris, Florida State's Mike Martin and East Carolina's Keith LeClair.

But all along, Perno was a candidate to replace Polk, even though Dooley initially said that he wanted to hire someone with head coaching experience.
Perno was one of the four finalists interviewed after Jones and Smith turned down the job. The others were Minnesota coach John Anderson, Stetson's Pete Dunn and Winthrop's Joe Hudek.
''The other candidates were all very strong,'' Dooley said. ''But David being in this league, this state, this community, all of those factors put him over the top.''

Martin Allen, the Notts County manager, was relieved to see his team progress in the FA Cup – they travel to Doncaster in the third round – but was quick to pay tribute to opponents Sutton.
The result was harsh on the Conference South side, who sit 70 places below County in the league pyramid but did enough to earn a replay despite finishing with 10 men.
Prior to kick-off, Allen had warned that his League One side could become the victims of a giant-killing. There was good reason for his cautious approach. Sutton knocked out Coventry City, then of the top flight, in the third round in 1989.
Allen was pleased to make it through to this season's third round, and a trip to the Championship side Doncaster, thanks to two goals from Jeff Hughes.
Allen said: "You have to give Sutton credit. We were set up here as the giant-killing act. We rode our luck at times but you also have to give credit to our players.
"Mentally it is very difficult to come into these games. Thankfully, we weathered the storm and Jeff has scored a couple of goals. The first was a brilliant piece of skill. It might have looked like a deflection but it was a good finish. Fair play to Jeff. He was left out last weekend but he has done the business although all the players have played their part."
Harry Beautyman and Leroy Griffiths had early chances for Sutton, who set the pace from the start. There was a sense that an upset might be on the cards as Sam Sodje made an excellent last-ditch tackle to deny Craig Watkins a golden chance.
The County goalkeeper, Stuart Nelson, was again called into action as Griffiths crossed for Beautyman, whose header was well saved.
Against the run of play, Hughes gave County a 35th-minute lead when he turned Karl Hawley's effort past the Sutton goalkeeper, Kevin Scriven.
The non-L eague side were offered the opportunity to draw level when Sodje hauled down Watkins in the penalty area. Referee Craig Pawson pointed to the spot but Griffiths' penalty was saved by Nelson.
After the restart, Sutton continued to press as Watkins, Karl Murray and Beautyman all headed wide while Paul Telfer, an FA Cup finalist with Southampton in 2003, saw his free-kick saved by Nelson.
Their chances of causing an upset were ended in the 85th minute when Murray was sent off after picking up two yellow cards. The advantage of having an extra man played into County's hands and Hughes added his second from close range in stoppage time.
Allen added: "I had this vibe that Stuart Nelson is going to save a penalty. It was not a ropy penalty either. It was a good save."
Sutton's manager, Paul Doswell, said: "The saved penalty was clearly the turning point. But we had two or three great chances after it. I'm satisfied. We deserved a draw. I've told the players they've done the club proud.
"They've earned us about £200,000 from this run but I think the chairman wants it for a new boiler, toilets and an air-conditioning unit.
"The sending-off was shocking. The second yellow card did not deserve a booking and I told the ref that he robbed the crowd of an exciting last 10 minutes."

Jen Glantz is a "Professional Bridesmaid" and the founder of Bridesmaid for Hire. She's the author of All My Friends Are Engaged and frequently wears old bridesmaid dresses to the grocery store and on first dates. For her Brides.com column, Jen is here to give some expert advice to brides looking for a unique way to do paperless invitations.
Printed wedding invitations can get very pricey, and even if you spend days and weeks picking out the perfect design and getting all of the details sorted out, in the end, most of your guests may just open your invitation and forget all about it. It may even end up in their trash can! So, instead of draining your wedding budget on a paper invitation, consider going paperless. It may even be easier for your guests to RSVP and save your date on their virtual calendars as well. If you're wondering where to start and how to go virtual and paperless, here are three ways for you to send a digital wedding invitation.
1. Use a paperless invitation service
If you want to create a more formal paperless invitation, use a website where you can design one yourself or use one of their templates. Some services are free, but most are very inexpensive and will give you not only the invitation but an RSVP management system as well. This way, you don't have to worry about RSVP cards getting lost in the mail or trying to keep track of all of them when they arrive in your mailbox.
See More: 25 Creative Wedding Invitation Ideas
2. Send a simple email
If you want to keep things simple and inexpensive, make an invitation right inside of your email. You can insert photos, change fonts, and even direct people to RSVP by clicking reply. While this is a less formal option, it's a viable one that you can easily do yourself and dress up and down depending on your style and your personality.
3. Make your invitation a newsletter
Instead of sending out just one invitation, send out an ongoing newsletter to your guests with updates on your wedding invitation. This way you can keep people posted on the details of your wedding and even fun moments that happen to you before the wedding.

in search of fall color
The fall color display in central Iowa has been spectacular this year. Just the right combination of warm, sunny days and cool, but above-freezing temperatures at night, along with a little stress from the driest September and October in six decades led to glorious golds, outstanding oranges, and rich reds. Yesterday's rain and wind brought down quite a few leaves, but some trees will hold their color for a few more days, or even weeks in the case of many oaks and callery pears.
It's odd to say that the new 950-page tome is downsized from the previous book, which is nearly 1,200 pages in length. It certainly doesn't feel less hefty! With the inclusion of so many photos, Dirr had to leave out some of the nerdy horticultural details found in his previous work. For example, the number of red maples and hybrids discussed in the new book is 17 compared to 58 in the previous book. Similarly ginkgo dropped from 40 to 5 varieties, and dawn redwood decreased from 9 to 6 varieties. However, the book is still replete with Dirr's personal anecdotes and observations. He has updated the book with more recent introductions and dropped some of the more obscure ones. The pictorial displays more than make up for the abbreviated text. And most gardeners will appreciate not having to sift through obscure varieties that they're not likely to find at the local nursery anyway.

New Year's Eve 2013 Google Logo Is Bringing In The New Year With A Disco
Today's Google logo is celebrating New Year's Eve disco-style.
The interactive logo includes a spinning disco ball, pounding speakers and a light-up dance floor. The numbers for "2013" dance away, while the number "4" awaits to takes its spot with glancing eyes. Clicking the logo delivers search results for "New Year's Eve 2013."
The logo is sorely lacking audio. With all the dancing numbers and the vibrating speakers, it's hard not to want to hear something from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. Maybe the New Year's Day logo will actually give us something to dance to, even if it is a Bee Gee's song.
Search Engine Land wishes all our readers a happy and safe New Year!

Will Ferrell And Ryan Gosling Interrupt Jimmy Kimmel As 'The Knife Guys' [Video]
Jimmy Kimmel and his cousin Sal were just starting a psychic demonstration, when Will Ferrell and Ryan Gosling took the spotlight as 'The Knife Guys'.
Kimmel was recently bumped to 11:35pm to compete with the big boys of late night talk, but apparently nobody informed 'The Knife Guys'.
They have Knives to showcase, and no big shot TV executive's decision is going to stop that.

John Travolta: 'Let It Go!'
The most widely talked about moment from the Oscars on Sunday night was probably not Ellen's opening monologue, or Matthew McConaughey's bizarre speech, but rather John Travolta butchering the pronunciation of Broadway star Idina Menzel when he introduced her as "Adela Dazeem." Perhaps feeling the heat from the millions of Frozen fans, Travolta issued a statement, saying "I've been beating myself up all day. Then I thought…what would Idina Menzel say, She'd say, 'Let it go, let it go!' Idina is incredibly talented and I am so happy Frozen took home two Oscars Sunday night!"

Sweet to the point where I thought I put sugar in it. therefore it takes sugar really well (something i normally don't do to teas). a bit mellow. it went really well with the lapsang souchong marinated thin-cut steak i had for dinner. it was a perfect balance. a great tea but not one i'd want to have daily.

I built two Riv inspired bikes
From a 1991 Sirrus Frame, Ultegra, Deore parts. A road geometry.
Then a Soma Saga frame I built up. Touring Geometry. The fork tube has since been trimmed.
Those are a couple of nice looking bikes.
Agree. That Soma Saga is great substitute for a Riv bike.

I received a 55cm Handsome Devil frame Saturday and I've ordered the last few parts to build it up.
Over the past 1.5 years I've become really interested in bicycle geometry and how it affects the "feel" of the bicycle. As I stated in a previous post, my biggest attraction to Rivendell bikes is the "ride quality" that all Riv owners rave about. I've come to the conclusion that the "Riv" ride may not be what I really want.
The Handsome Devil was definately based on the Bridgestone XO-1 with the owners of Handsome being huge Bridgestone fans. I find it interesting that Grant Petersen's most famous design has parallel 73 degree head/seat tubes, shortish chainstays and an overall emphasis on being fast and nimble. This is almost in direct contrast to Rivendell's current selection where most bikes have 72 degree head/seat tubes and longish chainstays.
I communicated with Grant via e-mail about a year ago and his opinion was the "nimble" should the be the last thing on a person's list of desirable characteristics in a bike. He also stated that the Atlantis was an evolution of the XO-1, although the Atlantis is more in line with touring bikes. He also stated that the Hunqapillar is a MUCH BETTER Atlantis (he really emphasized that) and it's even more in line with touring bikes with 46cm chainstays and one person on the Google Riv board weighed a Hunqapillar frameset at over 9 lbs.
It seems that Grant's bicycle design philisophy has actually changed quite a bit since the early 90's. I find my tastes in geometry and bicycle "feel" to be more inline with his early 90's thinking. In fact, I recently figured out how to use BikeCad and I designed a custom bicycle for myself and then was shocked to find it was almost identical to the Handsome Devil. I know for a fact that I like a nimble front end (my previous bike had 74mm of trail...the Devil has 60mm) but I'm unsure about bottom bracket drop and chainstay length. The Devil has a lower BB and longer chainstays than my last bike so I get to experiment with those to see how I like them.
The Handsome Devil is definately more "Rivish" than my old Trek 730 and if I stuff the wheels all the way back in the dropouts, it might even approximate the ride of a Hunqapillar. Trail of 60 and chainstays over 45cm on both bikes but the Hunq has a lower BB, longer top-tube and is much better tubing.
My wife and I plan a trip to California this summer or next and I'll finally get to ride a Hunqapillar and it will be nice to compare it's ride to the Devil.
This is a great thread and I enjoy continuing to follow it. The important thing is to decide what you like in a bike and build it. Rivendells are bit out of my price range, and the ones that aren't (Soma San Marcos) are not the best geometry for me. I've got several bikes that generally follow the Rivendell philosophy -- eg, higher handlebars, room for larger tires and fenders, mounts for racks -- but mine are much lighter than a comparable Riv. It is very hilly where I generally ride, so the weight of a bike and its wheels is important to me. I am no weight weenie, and most of my bikes are heavier than what you see on most group rides around here, but I do think weight is important if you ride on hilly terrain. My bikes are set up for fast commuting and light touring, which accounts for most of my riding these days. If I lived somewhere with relatively flat terrain, lots of dirt roads and crappy pavement, I could understand the appeal of a fat-tired bike that weighed much more.
I agree. I've followed Grant's blog and writings for more than a year and I've tried several of his ideas that sounded good and some I liked and some I disliked.
For example, he was right about steel. I rode steel for 12 years and then moved to aluminum. Grant's writing prompted me to try steel again and I do like it better. The one thing I did like about aluminum is the snappy feel when it comes to acceleration. Those stiff, over-sized tubes just seem to transfer power much better than steel.
I disagree with him about fat and heavy tires. I bought some 40mm Schwalbe Duremes and they are very comfortable tires but I felt like I was riding thru sand. I went back to my 32mm Vittoria Hypers and any other changes I make will be more toward more performance oriented tires like the Grand Bois Cypres.
I completely disagree with him on Albatross handlebars. He praises them to heaven and they look awesome and appear to be comfortable so I tried some. Having the grips parallel to the top tube is about the most unnatural position I can imagine, even worse than a completely straight mtb bar. The handlebar I prefer is a rise mtb bar with 10 degrees of bend back toward the rider.
I don't mind a bike that's on the heavier side since the bikes I've ridden since 1995 were easily in the 27-29 lb range but if I would definately prefer a lighter bike.
My $40 thrift store purchase of a 1969 Green Raleigh Sprite with the S5 hub had all the rest of the features you are seeking. Any good condition Raleigh 3 speed would meet your requirements, outside of decorations on the lugs and correct "philosophy."

Image of a Handsome Devil I found online. I read that in just the past week or so they opened a custom shop where you choose from their range of components and they build you your dream bike. From the images I've seen of their store and displays, this is one of their custom builds. Very Riv'ish.
I think my 520 qualifies
Here are my two poor man Rivs. The Nishiki even has Riv decals.
Everyone has different taste in what they want, need, and can afford in a bicycle. I almost bought a Atlantis from Rivendell, but I was comparing it a Mercian and Bruce Gordon. I think the Bruce Gordon is probably the best built most thought out touring bike on the market but I couldn't justify spending that kind of money, someone else may though. The Atlantis and the Mercian was more in my price range but was leaning heavy towards the Mercian due to the price being about the same at the time and I could get a ton of custom feature that Rivendell could not do with the Atlantis unless I went with a Rivendell bike which was going back to justifying the cost again. What sealed the deal for Mercian is when a business meeting sent me to England on 07, and while there I had a week of free time so my wife, who came with me, and I went to Derby where they build the Mercian, and that visit sealed the deal.
BUT, the Mercian is a pain, because it's just too beautiful of bike to abuse it on a tour across the US! Weird I know. So about 2 years ago I found the 85 Schwinn Le Tour Luxe for $100 and bought it for touring instead and it meets all the requirements a touring bike should have, except a third set of water bottle bosses, so I put a Minoura bottle bracket on the underside of the down tube to make up for it.
After finding the Schwinn I kind of wish I never bought the Mercian because I'm the kind of person who doesn't really like to spend money like that, but resistance to the idea was weakened when I was in Derby. At some point if the Schwinn gets too old to tour on due older parts getting difficult too find I will start using the Mercian for touring. So it may turn into a huge positive in the long run.
But if your happy on a low budget bike then great, if you need a high budget bike then great too, I could have sprung for the Bruce Gordon but I couldn't see how spending that much more money would make touring any more easier, but it is a great bike. I just happen to think that a middle price range bike will fill 99% of the needs of someone looking for a touring bike and that bike will be 98% of what a much more expensive bike will offer. Even Grant at Rivendell admits that the Atlantis is 98% of what a custom Rivendell is. I think that is true with most if not all middle priced ranged bikes.
Cool - this thread is still going! The weather has turned cold again, so riding has been a bit curtailed. But I did get a couple of longish rides in the prior week... and I still love my Rivendell! I smile every time I ride it... :)
The poor man's Rivendell is whatever you build up lovingly with both aesthetics and functionality brought to their maxima.
1990 Specialized Rockhopper:
That's nice, Chris.
Any opinions on the new VO Campeur? No lugs, but it looks like it may have a pleasing ride, and adds a kickstand plate and high-stack headset that better '80s stuff seems to lack (from what I've seen, anyway).
If you want a classy looking bike without paying a lot another bike to consider would be the Jamis Aurora Elite which only cost $1650 retail; see: http://www.myjamis.com/SSP%20Applica...cat_grp=road_9
A has luggs, B it's cheap enough..

Are you doing well? Enjoying the new season of released anime? Well if you are still looking for some anime to watch or a good manga to read then check these out. The first picture is a anime called Steins Gate, this is a very great anime in my opinion, in fact it is part of my top 10. It is about how a group finds out he can alternate into parallel universe by send text messages to the past. After a while they found out that they have to return the past to normal and find a way to change the future. The beginning of the story is mostly normal paced but still some laughs and mystery. The second half of show is where things really take a turn, this anime really got my attention and each action gave me a surprise. Also if you are a Dr. Pepper fan this is a must! ***The second picture is of a Manga called Cage of Eden. Now this manga is possibly the best manga I have ever read. It has all kinds of action, moment, feels, etc. There are also plenty of ecchi in it but that is not the main reason why I think it is great at all. This manga is packed full of mystery and action and has great morals in it. Did I mention there were dinosaurs in it? Well the setting is that a boy and some other classes, along with everyone else on a plane finds themselves on a mysterious island surrounded my strange creatures. The bot finds a lot of other survivors, mostly his class mates, and leads them through the island from danger. Every action and event seems to get them into a life or death situation, and time and time again their wills,bonds, and body are tested. Can they survive? where are they? How will they get off the island? But the mystery is about the animals, because as it turns out these animals should be extincted.... Well I hope that gets you interested.
