Family served raw chicken at Isotopes game
A family looking for a tasty ballpark snack wound up with a mouth full of raw chicken.
One-year-old Jeremiah almost ate the raw meat bought from the Isotopes concession stand at his first baseball game.
"We were so excited, he was having a good day. He was a little grumpy and ready to eat, so we got food ready to feed him right away," said Batter's Up customer Johnele Apodaca.
The child's mother and father bought the 1-year-old a chicken basket from Batter's Up.
Luckily, it was too hot for the baby, so dad dug in first.
"It was just gross, and my husband said he realized it when he took the bite and the consistency was just totally mushy," Apodaca said.
The family went back to the counter at Batter's Up and talked to the manager. They said he apologized and gave them a refund.
The food service agency, Ovations, calls it an isolated incident. It said the type of chicken used at Batter's Up recently changed, and the new chicken has to be cooked longer.
Isotopes officials said they jumped on the problem and fixed it.
"We listen to our fans, and if there is a complaint such as this, we certainly take it very seriously." said General Manager John Traub. "Food quality and food safety is of utmost importance to us."
Ovations said it doesn't know how many people were served the raw chicken this past Saturday but said it received at least one complaint.

Corning Inc. (GLW), the maker of glass for Apple Inc. (AAPL) iPhones, said it will probably take at least three years before companies start making flexible displays using its new Willow material.
Companies are yet to come up with products that can take full advantage of Willow glass, which can be made in a roll similar to newsprint, James Clappin, president of Corning Glass Technologies, said in an interview in Beijing today. The product eventually will let companies make curved or flexible displays.
"People are not accustomed to glass you roll up," Clappin said after an event marking the opening an $800 million factory for liquid-crystal-display glass. "The ability of people to take it and use it to make a product is limited."
The Corning, New York-based company is producing the glass and making "a lot of effort" to teach "very big name" customers how to handle the spools, Clappin said, declining to elaborate. The introduction of the glass comes as companies including Google Inc. consider making wearable computing devices.
The Willow glass should be used in some simple products this year, Clappin said. Examples may include a flexible barrier for solar panels or as a thin film behind some touch panels, he said.
Corning sent out samples of the flexible glass to makers of phones, tablets and TVs in June. Chief Financial Officer James Flaws said at the time the company hoped it would be available in consumer products this year.
Computer Eyeglasses
Corning rose 1.1 percent to $12.73 at 10 a.m. in New York. The shares are little changed this year, compared with a 6.3 percent advance for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
Google (GOOG) has been working on eyeglass-embedded computers and plans to introduce them in 2014. Apple has a team of about 100 product designers working on a wristwatch-like device that may perform some of the tasks now handled by the iPhone and iPad, two people familiar with the company's plans said this month. Clappin declined to comment when asked whether Corning had any contact with Apple on this project.
Surging global sales of smartphones have helped boost earnings for 161-year-old Corning. Gorilla Glass, which was introduced in 2007, is used in more than 1 billion devices worldwide, according to the company. Corning has sold the glass to 33 electronics makers, including Samsung Electronics Co. and Sony Corp., for use in more than 900 models.
Sales of Gorilla Glass surged 44 percent to $1 billion last year. The product is the second-most profitable and the fastest growing in Corning's history, Chief Executive Officer Wendell Weeks said this month.
Gorilla Glass sales may also grow "dramatically" alongside a projected increase in demand for new touchscreen notebooks, Clappin said.
"We sell a lot of Gorilla Glass in cellphones, but a notebook is 10 times the size, 10 times the area," he said. "Glassmakers sell in square feet. We like area -- the bigger the area, the better."

Alternative cancer care debate
Chemo to kill it, radiation to burn it, or surgery to cut it out. Greg Babcock tried the standard therapies but when his testicular cancer came back, this busy ad exec didn't want harsh treatments to slow him down.
"I knew there had to be an alternative," said Babcock.
He found one. Every week high-dose vitamins are pumped into his arm to boost his immune system.
"When the immune system is compromised, that continues to sort of feed the cancer," said Pete Ewens, the president of Natural Horizons Wellness Center.
The vitamins are combined with IPT, insulin potentiation therapy. Patients fast, then receive insulin. The idea is to starve the cancer cells.
"Now, it's going to eat anything that comes down the pipeline," explained Ewens.
Then just 10% of standard chemo is delivered. The very low dose doesn't pose harsh side effects. In fact, patients here say they have more energy than before treatment.
But Dr. David Riseberg, a medical oncologist at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland, says vitamin infusions and IPT are unproven treatments.
"This is kind of on the edge, and there is really no good data to support its use," said Riseberg. "I think you got to stick with where the science is."
One small study did find 10 breast cancer patients who received IPT had smaller increases in tumor size than those on chemo. But the American Cancer Society says: "No scientific studies that show safety and effectiveness have been published in available peer-reviewed journals. These claims cannot be verified."
A real cancer therapy or an unproven alternative?
Babcock says it worked for him.
"After 12 weeks, I'm 100 percent cancer free," he exclaimed.
The vitamin cocktails and IPT infusions are personalized for each patient depending on their needs.
The treatments are expensive. At the Fairfax, Virginia center profiled in this story, patients pay between $1,600 and $2,600 a week for a package that includes these two treatments.
Additional Information:
ALTERNATIVE CARE: Although the standard medical care for cancer includes chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, some patients decide to opt for more alternative methods to treat their cancer or the symptoms associated with the disease. These alternatives are often referred to as CAM, which stands for complementary and alternative medicine. Unlike standard medical care for cancer patients CAM treatments are not always supported by scientific evidence, and while the CAM treatments may be effective for some people it is not guaranteed to benefit everyone. Complementary medicine refers to the use of non-standard medical treatments along with the standard medical care, meaning a patient may have chemotherapy but is also using an alternative therapy to help with the nausea and fatigue. On the other hand, alternative medicine is when alternative cancer care is used in place of the standard medical treatments.
Many different types of complementary and alternative medicine for cancer treatment exist and they can usually be classified into three main categories: those dealing with the mind-body connection, with energy, and practices that are biologically based. Alternative cancer care may include:
ALTERNATIVE CARE DEBATE: While some people believe complementary or alternative cancer care is the way to go, there could be some problems with the treatments. Although the vitamin or herb therapies are natural, too much of a certain vitamin can have a negative effect on the body and some herbs and vitamins can react badly with traditional treatments like chemotherapy or cause those treatments to be less effective. It is also important to remember that these care options are not backed by scientific evidence so it is not always clear what the outcome of the treatments may be. If a person is interested in trying a complementary or alternative medicine, they should talk with their doctor. (Source: www.cancer.gov)

Buick Encore is nice, if you're skinny
Encore is too small to be a Buick.
Not on the outside. While it is not much bigger than a Mini Cooper Countryman SUV, the Encore's styling and proportions give it enough visual heft to be convincing as an upmarket crossover SUV.
Inside is the issue. Too narrow. The center console and the door panel both crowd your legs. The seats aren't wide enough to have bolsters, but have them anyway. That leaves the flat part of the cushion too narrow for any but youthful physiques or slightly built fitness teachers.
"It's a little car. There's just no getting around that," says James Danahy, Encore's chief engineer.
The seat size and placement are "a product of the size and space of the console and (floor-mounted) shifter," as well as the configuration of the door panels, he says.
Being sized to fit younger folks might not be a drawback. Buick wants the South Korean-made Encore, on sale just this month, to snag younger buyers whose tender years will help erase Buick's finally fading image as a fogy-mobile. And whose independent streak could lead them to a maverick choice instead of hewing to conventional picks such as Honda, Toyota or Hyundai.
But Buick presents itself as a full-fledged luxury brand. Argue if you wish, but that is firmly Buick's self-image. And unless you're talking about the cramped cockpit of a Lamborghini or the almost-illusory back seat of a Porsche 911, a space-challenged interior seems counter to the luxury image.
While the tight fit gives Encore a bit of the cracker-box feel, the SUV goes about the business of motion reasonably well. You find yourself zipping along faster than you expected, tackling tight corners with verve, generally hopping in and heading out without concern.
Buick does its usual outstanding job with most interior trim and lighting, for a definitely upscale ambiance. The things you take for granted unless they are inferior, you can take for granted in Encore: sound system, climate control, layout of switches and instruments. All just fine.
And Encore continues Buick's magically immediate pairing with a cellphone. Hit the button to start what you fear will be a convoluted process and, zip, in about the time it takes you to move your gaze from the dashboard to your phone screen, the process is done. Test Drive has tried not-so-smart old phones, fairly recent Android phones, iPhones and now the latest Windows phone.
A nagging feeling, though, gnaws at your ability to believe you're in a luxury machine. Though well-furnished in most ways, Encore isn't complete.
For example, Buick says the $25,000 base model has a 7-inch color display, satellite radio, Bluetooth for phone and audio, and voice commands so you can keep your hands safely on the wheel. It also has Bose active noise cancellation to help uphold Buick's image as the quiet brand. Such features usually are optional or, as Buick would point out, reserved for luxury-brand vehicles.
But even in uplevel versions, such as the $29,000 test vehicle, you get no helpful grid lines in that backup camera. There are no push-button or proximity locks or push-button ignition, which let you keep the key in your pocket or purse. Nor is there a power tailgate. Those are conveniences that luxury-oriented buyers tend to want, even expect.
Also working against the luxury persona, and thus your overall satisfaction:
The small engine and its automatic transmission are just OK on refinement. The engine sounds coarse in medium and hard acceleration. The transmission sometimes is uncertain which gear to choose.
Sun visors and headliner have a slightly cardboard-y feel. You don't spend much time with your hands on the ceiling, so the headliner's no big deal, but you use the visors a lot and they should give tactile pleasure. Dashboard, seats, door panels — all are classy, so even a little backsliding overhead seems unpleasant.
The headliner is made of "a premium material," Danahy says. "It wasn't an area where we said, 'Let's take cost out here because it's above your head.' We've never tried to do that."
A choppy ride sometimes belies the luxo-feel Buick seeks. On a short patch of very wrinkled asphalt that Test Drive uses, Encore jiggled a bit much. Some commotion is typical on that stretch, but Encore's was enough to remind you that it's a small car with more humble origins than the Buick name implies.
The brand has done a good job emphasizing its high-tone image. And the success of Buick's Verano compact sedan shows that Buick buyers don't all demand XXL nowadays.
Still, a luxury vehicle — actually, any good vehicle these days — should have drivetrain and suspension smoothness down pat. And should be big enough to avoid feeling cramped. In those areas, Encore disappoints.
What? Small, four-door, five-passenger crossover SUV new to the Buick line. Front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD).
When? At dealers this month.
Where? Built at Bupyeong, South Korea.
How much? Base FWD starts at $24,950. AWD is $1,500 more. Loaded AWD, including dealer-installed accessories such as mud guards, mats and luggage carrier, is $34,749.
What makes it go? 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder rated 138 horsepower at 4,900 rpm, 148 pounds-feet of torque at 1,850 rpm; six-speed automatic with manual-shift mode.
How big? A little bigger than a Mini Cooper Countryman, a lot smaller than a Honda CR-V. Encore is 168.5 inches long, 69.9 in. wide, 65.2 in. tall on a 100.6-in wheelbase. Weighs 3,190 (FWD) or 3,309 (AWD) lbs.
Cargo space, 18.8 cubic feet behind rear seat, 48.4 cu. ft. when rear seat's folded.
Turning circle diameter, 36.7 ft.
How thirsty? FWD rated 25 miles per gallon in the city, 33 highway, 28 city/highway mix. AWD: 23/30/26.
Trip computer in FWD test vehicle showed 19.5 mpg (5.13 gallons per 100 miles) in brisk suburban driving.
Burns regular, holds 14 gal.
Overall: Well-equipped, lacks interior space.

The inflation of the value of Clarence's portion of the estate and the immediate gratification are things that I can see were passed down to his oldest son. The difference is Adam responded to his brother in a way that I wish I had seen more people respond to the apple! My great uncle Adam was always this odd-looking man that I'd only seen in pictures. I have new respect for the man I never met! Great job, uncle Adam!

Dear Corp.
Sorry I could not answer your [sic] any sooner. The day your letter arrived, I had the virus. This letter is going to disappoint you, as you read later on I'll answer this letter in a forum bases so it will be plain and explained in a easier way.
I. I have talked to Lillian, Stan, Aldona; and Leo, and they cannot in a way, see it your way.
(a) Zentar's [sic] still has mortgage on their house, as they have done some extensive repairing on their house.
(B) Ruminski's can't get that much money together. Carolyn just graduated from Central; and is going to nurses Training at the Mercy Hospital and that takes a little money.
(C) If I (Adam) had money I would not be driving around in a 1951 jalopy.
II. If we were to go and borrow money from the Bank to buy your share, who is going to pay the interest on the loan.
|Page III
(C) To buy your share of the house, we have to hire a lawyer to change the will, and go to court to have it legalized. Would cost $100.00 I know because I have inquired about that.
III. If you want to I have the consent of the Zenters & Ruminskies to send you $300.00 no more and that amount to be deducted from your share when the estate is sold. Is that fair enough
Now you say your share of the estate is $4500.00 which means it is worth $18000.000 to you. If you can get a buyer for the property at that price you bring him or her to Scranton to show them the property, at my expense, and if they buy I will give you from my share as a bonus $500.00.
Now I have explained the best I know how. And I hope you can see our side of the situation. I am still waiting for a thank you for the check for $250.00 I send last Christmas time.

One of the breakout successes in this field is the Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) model. PACE financing enables homeowners to make energy (and sometimes water) efficiency upgrades, and to install renewable-energy systems—and to pay for them over time through their property tax bill.

American Hair Salon Near Me in JHB?
The following list of the 5 most influential hair designers in history is by no means inclusive of all the hair designers that have become famous and forever affected the popular styles of men's and women's hair. This is completely subjective- just one person's list of the 5 people who seem to have positively changed this industry the most.
1. Kenneth Battelle
This was the first hairdresser who was commonly known simply by his first name. Kenneth became a legend in the 1960s thanks to his work on Marilyn Monroe's hair, making it look soft and lovely despite countless bleaches and perms. Ironically, he was the one who did her hair when she sang "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" to John F Kennedy, and he was also the one responsible for Jackie Kennedy's famous bouffant hairstyle. Other famous clients that Kenneth worked with included Lauren Bacall and Audrey Hepburn.
5. Paul Mitchell
Although he is now deceased, Paul Mitchell is still a huge influence on hair stylists all over the world. As co-founder of the world-renowned Paul Mitchell brand, products are available in stores everywhere across the globe, and he has been a household name since the 1970s and 1980s when his cuts appeared on the covers of magazines such as Harper's Bazaar and Vogue. Many attribute Paul Mitchell with freeing women from the constraints of bouffant hairstyles.
A Guide to Hair Extension Salons
Hair is big business, particularly in the African American community, where hair types and styles are so versatile: Short, long, curly, wavy, kinky, straight, natural, braided, twisted, locked, color treated, texturized, and relaxed.
Regardless of one's hair type or preferred style; including weaves and extensions, proper basic care is essential for healthy African American hair:
- Strong hair that does not easily break.
- Hair that grows--Hair growth and hair length are not necessarily synonymous. Everyone's hair has different growth cycles. The life span of some individuals' hair is approximately one year, before new hair pushes out the existing. This results in around six inches of length. Other individuals' hair has the life span of several years, resulting in length well over two feet!
- Hair that has sheen.
- A healthy, clean scalp.
To obtain a healthy head of African American hair, as described above, basic care is necessary, and includes:
1. Proper diet and exercise.
2. Thorough shampooing and conditioning.
3. Efficient moisturizing.
Proper Diet and Exercise
As cliched as it sounds, proper diet and exercise are the gateway for many desirable traits, such as proportioned weight, high energy level, nice skin, etc. Proper nutrition and exercise are often over looked when it comes to care of the tresses because so many cosmetic and chemical options are available to obtain a certain look.
Efficient Moisturizing
Most African American hair types do not produce the amount of natural moisturizer found in other hair types. Therefore, it is necessary for many African Americans to regularly moisturize their tresses. Like with shampooing and conditioning, the amount of moisturizer depends on several factors, including hair type and style. Additionally, the type of moisturizer plays a big role in contributing to healthy African American hair. Some African American hair styles and types thrive when an oil moisturizer is used. Other African American styles and types respond better with cream moisturizers. Still, others do better with lotions or pomades. Again, a licensed professional is the best source for recommending a moisturizer for one's particular type and style.
Regardless of how you wear your hair, invest time in exercising, meal planning, and the proper hair care regiment; including a schedule of shampooing, conditioning, and moisturizing. Healthy hair is a reflection of one's overall health, in addition to looking good!

TOPEKA, Kan (WIBW) Fred Phelps Sr., the former head of the Westboro Baptist Church, died late Wednesday night, according to a family member.
Phelps' son, Timothy told 13 News that his father died just before midnight. Timothy Phelps works at the Shawnee Co. Jail.
Ironically, another son who is a member of the church, attorney Jonathan Phelps told us Thursday morning that Pastor Phelps "is doing fine." That could have been a spiritual reference.
No Funeral
Margie Phelps, Phleps daughter, told WIBW-AM that there will be no funeral for him.
Over the weekend, we learned that Phelps was reportedly "on the edge of death."
In a statement on his Facebook page, Nathan Phelps, who has been estranged from his father for 30 years, said the senior Phelps was dying in hospice care in Topeka, Kan., and that he had been ex-communicated from his own church in August of 2013.
Later in the day, Westboro Baptist Church tweeted this message, which included a link to its statement regarding Phelps' death.
Westboro Baptist Church thanks God for Fred Phelps Sr.'s passing: http://t.co/5GJU1lXuZj pic.twitter.com/lDx0CyEink— Westboro Baptist (@WBCSays) March 20, 2014
In their commentary, they said:
God forbid, if every little soul at the Westboro Baptist Church were to die at this instant, or to turn from serving the true and living God, it would not change one thing about the judgments of God that await this deeply corrupted nation and world. That is the pinnacle of your hopes, and by far the most vain. Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, or the power of God.
Click here to read the whole commentary
Phelps' granddaughter Megan Phelps-Roper sent several tweets about her grandfather's passing:
"One way or another, he's at peace. There's only Heaven or peaceful nothingness. That's what I think." RIP, Gramps. I love you forever.— Megan Phelps-Roper (@meganphelps) March 20, 2014
I'm so sorry for the harm he caused. That we all caused. But he could be so kind and wonderful. I wish you all could have seen that, too.— Megan Phelps-Roper (@meganphelps) March 20, 2014
I understand those who don't mourn his loss, but I'm thankful for those who see that "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind."— Megan Phelps-Roper (@meganphelps) March 20, 2014
Love and peace to all. The world needs more of both. That's the part of Gramps I'll keep and share with others.— Megan Phelps-Roper (@meganphelps) March 20, 2014
Topekans had mixed reactions to the news of Phelps' passing and many flocked to the site of the church to take pictures of it and in front of the rainbow-decorated Equality House across the street.
Equality House is a project by the tolerance group Planting Peace. Director of Operations Davis Hammet told 13 News the group has been in the house for a year now. Hammet said they wanted to spin a bad situation into a positive one.
"We're all saddened by [Fred's] passing. It's another human life gone, he's a family man and it's unfortunate. Although we have stark disagreements with the foundations of WBC, it's still unfortunate that they lost a loved one."
Hammet said the best reaction to Phelps' death is love.
"Even if we have disagreements we have to get over it and see the higher purpose of respecting each other."
Topeka resident Linda Bierley brought pins that displayed an X'd out "Fred" on them to pass out.
"Fred has been around for a long time and he has just been such an evil-spirited man and caused so much harm and pain to families that didn't deserve it."
Roger Laubengayer came to the Equality House with his family. His daughter, Rebecca is visiting from California and she wanted to see the house.
"Maybe we can move on and Topeka can be known for something else besides Fred Phelps. It was kind of a circus, the whole thing, not sure how seriously some people took it, but anything we can do to promote more love and understanding would be great."
Rebecca and her partner are getting married soon, and Roger said he just wants them to feel comfortable in Topeka.
"Westboro Baptist Church was different for me because I support my daughter and I want her to feel comfortable here and their program didn't make her feel comfortable."
Rebecca said that people in California know the Phelpses. They've seen them and their pickets, and Rebecca said he is generally unliked there because Californians are more liberal and don't like his message.
"I feel bad for his family. We have to remember he was a father, a grandfather, a great grandfather first. Some people do crazy things and just because they do crazy things doesn't make them less human."
Topeka Mayor Larry Wolgast released the following statement:
"I believe we should respect the Phelps family's right to mourn their loss at this time. Topeka is a strong and vibrant city that will continue to move forward, past destructive hate and intolerance, as a city of compassion and acceptance. We must continue to respect and value each individual."

Hi guys! Yesterday (23rd) was my first day back at homeschool. It went pretty well. I'm using AmblesideOnline for most of my subjects. Yesterday I studied William of Orange, read half of a (very very long) letter from Benjamin Franklin to his son, did a little last minute planning and other things. In my notebook I wrote down a quote from the letter of Mr. Franklin that I found interesting. It's always intriguing to explore the mind of a famous guy…
And lastly (I may as well confess it, as the denial of it would be believed by nobody), I shall perhaps not a little gratify my own vanity. Indeed, I never heard or saw the introductory words "Without vanity I may say," &c., but some vain thing immediately followed. Most people dislike vanity in others, whatever share they have of it themselves; but I give it a fair quarter, whenever I meet with it, being persuaded that it is often productive of good to the possessor, and to others who are within his sphere of action: and therefore, in many cases, it would not be altogether absurd if a man were to thank God for his vanity among the other comforts of life." – Benjamin Franklin
One of the other things I included was creative writing where I chose a prompt and wrote a story on it. Here is the prompt I used:
While sight-seeing in a foreign city, a tourist gets lost, robbed, chased by a pretty girl's angry fiance, and even catches on fire for a little bit. All in all, it's an unforgettable experience.
A Day in New York City
By Zielle
I don't know how he ended up there. But there he was. Just a tiny speck amidst the sky-scraping buildings, the hustle and bustle of the city; and, unlike at the rolling green hills of his home, Andrew could barely hear himself think.
Ever since he was boy, he would sit in his tree, perched on the highest branch, dreaming of the day he would finally set foot on the grounds of New York City. Now in his early twenties, Andrew ignored his alternate life of marriage, hopped on a plane and flew through the skies to the greatest country in the world.
The young man shrugged of his backpack and sat it down on a bench. From where he was standing, he could see the Statue of Liberty atop the little island near the harbor. He fumbled around his backpack for his iPod, and snapped a quick picture of the statue. He sighed happily, a smile creeping onto his lips.
This was going to be a beautiful day.
"I'll take two, please." Andrew dug his fingers into his pocket and came out with a dollar bill he had changed into American currency. "Thanks." He took the paper bag heavied with two corn-dogs. "Have a good one."
Andrew walked down the street, cars zooming by him. A truck roared past and more than one horns honked. "Off all the things to be doing on a tour in New York City, I eat corn-dogs." He scolded himself, glaring at the golden brown of his lunch.
He surveyed the place for a spot to sit, and found a bench with barely an empty spot right on the edge of the seat. "Excuse me." He said to the person who would be sitting next to him, and the woman just nodded and walked off. Andrew shrugged and sat down.
"Hi sweetie," a young lady placed her hands on a man's shoulders, popped her heeled foot up and planted a kiss on his cheek.
Andrew looked up. Her blue eyes and silky blond hair reminded him of his little sister back home. He grinned.
The young man who had received the kiss shot a glare at Andrew. "Are you flirting with my fiance?" he demanded, taking a step towards where Andrew was sitting, his fists clenched at his sides.
"No." Andrew said, making the face that he always made when someone asked him a stupid question. "She just reminded me of-"
"Of a pretty lady?" The man barked.
"No!" Andrew stood up, then nearly dropped his corn-dogs in fright when he realized how much taller and bulkier the guy was than him. "Excuse me, I'm outta here." He held his hands up in defense and walked off.
The man grabbed Andrew's shirt and halted him. Andrew turned around. "Look mate, I don't want any trouble, okay?"
The man roared and swung a punch at Andrew, but he ducked just before the punch would've sent him onto the ground with a broken nose and a lost eye. "Calm down!"
"Herb!" the girl rushed towards her fiance. "Just let it be!"
The man ignored his fiance and Andrew figured it was about time to start running. He ripped his shirt from the man's hand and took of. The crowd parted like a wave, obviously not wanting to be hit by a 200 pound maniac yet knowing they could easily toss aside a skimpy fellow like Andrew.
Andrew swerved to the right, running down a street that seemed to be fuller than the last, if that was even possible, and flattened himself against the hot, sun burned wall. Herb ran past, sweat forming at the back of his shirt. Suddenly the screech of brakes being slammed on shrieked in everyone's ears and Herb stopped to yell at the driver for almost running him over. He turned around and gave a roar of anger when he saw Andrew zip back down the road the same way he came.
A road neared, and Andrew skid to a stop as a car sped past not regarding that he could possibly run a building over at that speed. Andrew frantically pressed the button for the pedestrian. The crazy 200 pound maniac was right behind him, so Andrew leaped onto the road and hailed a taxi to stop. Thankfully, no one was inside, so he ripped the door open and slid into the middle seat, slamming his finger onto the lock. He was more than sure that the guy could catch up to the car and rip the door right of its hinges if he wanted to.
"Where do you wanna go?" the taxi driver tapped his finger on the wheel and coal black eyes looked at him through the rear-view mirror.
"Anywhere." Andrew panted. "Farthest place away from here."
The driver chuckled. "Bad day, huh?"
"It was going great at first, but then it just went downhill from there." Andrew sighed. "Got any recommendations for a good place to eat?" he asked, realizing his corn-dogs were no where to be seen.
"If you could care less and you're running low on money, Los Tacos no. 1 has great food. If you're fine with pricey and you're a fancy guy, Mastro's Steakhouse is a great place. "
"I have one day in the city of my dreams. I'm starving. I just got chased by a girl's angry maniac fiance because I thought she looked like my little sis back home. I'm willing to spend anything as long as the food's good."
Lunch was a huge success, the food was great, except for one small detail:
While Andrew was sitting at the table waiting for his food when a young man cleared his throat behind him.
"Excuse me." He said. "My wife and I were having a debate-" he shot a glance at his wife, probably the lady standing behind him with her hands on her hips. "And you-" He motioned his hands toward Andrew. "You look like a smart guy and I think you might have a solution to our problem." He looked at his wife again and folded his arms, then turned his gaze back to Andrew.
Andrew turned around in his seat. "Pardon?"
"We're only here at this restaurant because my wife and I were discussing who should be the one to cook dinner. We both have jobs, and when we come home we never know who should cook; my wife insisted that I ask you for your opinion." He explained.
"Well I don't know." Andrew looked back at him in helplessness but the man just stared at him waiting for an answer. He shifted awkwardly in his seat then stood up. "I don't have any idea. Sorry. My Mum was usually the one to cook our dinners, but this is-"
"Excuse me!" the lady behind the man bounced up, her red curls bobbing on her shoulders. "You insolent, disrespectful fool!" she screamed. She walked over to Andrew and slapped him across the face. "How dare you?!"
"Ma'am, I simply said that my Mum usually cooked our dinners; this has nothing to do with your situation!"
"Waiter!" the lady shrieked. "This man is bothering us. What will you do about it?" she placed her hands on her hips and pursed her lips.
Andrew crossed his arms, certain the waiter would never kick him out. "Excuse me sir, I'm sorry, but we can't tolerate behavior like this. I'm going to have to escort you out."
What a polite way of kicking someone out.
Andrew threw his hands up. "You know what? It's okay. I can get out myself." With that he turned and walked out the building.
You remember how I said that the food was great? Let me rephrase myself. The food looked great. Because poor Andrew never got to have a bite of it.
He exited the restaurant where he found a young girl of about sixteen sitting against the wall crying into her tattered shirt.
"Hey, you okay?" Andrew asked.
The girl looked up, smearing dirt across her cheek as she tried to wipe the tears away. "I guess." She said. "I'm hungry, I'm tired, I'm scared, and I have nowhere to go!"
Andrew pulled out his wallet and dug out twenty dollars and handed it to the girl. "Go get yourself something to eat, okay? The food here is great. Well it looks great… Do you have any family?"
The girl shook her head but managed a smile. "Thank you so much!" she stood up and to Andrew's surprise, threw her arms around him in a tight hug.
Happy with himself, Andrew was around half an hour away from his car and thirty minutes away from the restaurant before he realized his wallet was missing.
"Hey!" he yelled, running back the same direction he came from. "Hey!" he yelled again, wishing the girl could hear him but knowing she wouldn't be able to.
Nothing looked familiar except for the amount of people, the same reckless drivers and the same sky-scraping buildings. He remembered he went down an alley, so the first alley he saw, he turned down. A rat neared his foot and he kicked it away with a hiss.
Why was his day going so bad? What had he done? Was he being punished for leaving his little sister who had so long begged him not to leave? He placed his hands on his head and kicked a can. It hit the wall with a clash. His stomach was not full yet, his wallet was gone, and who knows which alley he'd run into the crazy fiance maniac again?
After about 30 minutes of walking, Andrew had no idea where in New York City he was. He'd walked down so many alley's now.
He never got lost. But now he found himself lost. Completely and utterly lost. When finally his brain gave in to the idea of going back up the alley's and going for help, the sun shone cruelly down on him, and more so on a scrunched up ball of paper, so that its rays burned it and it burst into flames. In a second it caught onto a cardboard box, and flames shot up everywhere.
Andrew rushed towards it trying to stomp out the flames. But it was too big. "Hey!" he yelled. "Help!" he started to run up the alley, but the flames grew slightly bigger. A dirty towel lay sprawled on the ground covered in rat poop, and Andrew snatched it up. He slapped it frantically against the flames, but the little ragged piece of cloth was consumed in seconds and the fire lapped up his pants. He yelled, dancing around in his pants on fire. He dropped to the ground and rolled, and the fire around his legs ceased to a sparkle and smoke drifted up from his singed legs.
But that wasn't the biggest problem, because the flames were getting bigger by the second.
Suddenly a cold blast of water met his back and then water spewed onto the flames and they bowed to the water and turned into billowing smoke.
Andrew turned around. It was the girl he had given the money to. "You!" he yelled. The girl just stared at him frozen like a mouse. Then she dropped the hose she held, threw Andrew's wallet at him, then took of running.
The wallet still had everything inside of it. She had probably felt guilty and tried to find him again to give it back.
"Hey!" Andrew yelled. "Wait!" he sighed and shook his head. "Poor kid."And he ruffled his hair and walked back up the alley.
I still don't know how a guy like Andrew ended up in New York City. But, one thing he was sure of: he was never going back to New York again.
Like it? 😉
Yesterday for Bible we read in 2 Kings how Elijah was taken up to heaven. Did Elijah go up to heaven in a chariot, or in a whirlwind? I've always thought he went up in a chariot, but it said in one of the verses that a chariot of fire separated Elisha and Elijah but Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind. In earlier verses it also said that Elisha would never leave Elijah and then when asked what he wanted before Elijah left, Elisha asked for double the connection with God that Elijah had. Elijah told Elisha that he could have it if he saw him when he was taken up to heaven. Perhaps the chariot of fire was to test Elisha's loyalty and to distract him and he would've missed Elijah's ascend to heaven.
Or maybe the whirlwind is just a metaphor that Elijah went up to heaven fast?
What do you think?

Smile! God loves you.

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite $2$-group, and let $G$ be any subgroup of index $2$. Moreover, let Ver$: \Gamma/\Gamma' \to G/G'$ denote the group theoretical transfer, and let $M(\Gamma)$ be the Schur multiplier of $\Gamma$.
Is it true that $$ | \text{ker}\ {\rm Ver}_{\Gamma/\Gamma' \to G/G'} | \le 2 | M(\Gamma) | \quad ? $$
The answer is positive for a couple of groups with small multiplier, such as cyclic $2$-groups, which have trivial Schur multiplier, the groups of order $8$, or dihedral and quaternion groups. Does current computer technology allow finding a counterexample by going through 2-groups of moderate size?
Edit. Here's a little bit of background. Let $K$ be a quadratic number field whose 2-class group has type (2,2). It is known that the Hilbert 2-class field $K^1$ has cyclic 2-class group, and that the Galois group $\Gamma$ of the second Hilbert 2-class field is either (2,2) itself, a dihedral, quaternion, or semi-dihedral 2-group. Let $K_j/K$ (j=1, 2, 3) denote the three unramified quadratic extensions inside $K^1$, and let $G_j$ be the Galois groups of $K^2/K_j$. Then $\Gamma$ is quaternion or semi-dihedral if and only if in each of the extensions $K_j/K$, exactly one ideal class of order 2 capitulates (i.e., becomes principal). Now these are exactly the groups among the possible Galois groups with trivial Schur multiplier. On the other hand, the transfer of ideal classes corresponds, via Artin's reciprocity law, to the transfer map (Verlagerung) from the abelianization of $\Gamma$ to that of the $G_j$. Thus in this case, we find that the order of the Schur multiplier is equal to one half of the maximal order of the capitulation kernels.
