When it comes to purchasing a home, Veterans are given many financing options, each with their own unique characteristics. For most veteran and active duty military members, Veterans United typically recommends the federally-backed VA Loan for its distinct advantages over traditional loans.
VA Loans are available exclusively to those who have served our country and select military spouses. VA Loans date back to 1944 and the federal Servicemen's Readjustment Act. Due to its competitive rates and no down payment requirement, the VA Loan is the optimal choice for many military families. VA Loans are available for veterans and active duty service members who meet the basic service requirements.
Not only is the VA Loan a great option for home purchasing, but it can also be used for refinancing. Learn more about refinancing with a VA Loan in our next section.
USDA Loans are administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for citizens, including veterans, with lower incomes to purchase homes and land in rural areas. To qualify, the property must be in a predefined eligibility zone. To see if a USDA Loan may be right for you, contact your Veterans United loan officer to discuss the pros and cons of this loan type.
Federal Housing Administration loans can be used by a variety of citizens, including veterans, for purchasing and improving "fixer uppers." Other FHA loans are offered specifically for senior citizens, first-time homebuyers, or those looking to purchase a home and make energy efficiency improvements. A FHA loan does not offer the no-down payment mortgage option and comes with a form of mortgage insurance that borrowers pay both up front and monthly. A loan officer can help you decide if this loan product is right for you.
Conventional loans come without any kind of government guarantee. They typically require a minimum down payment and may carry private mortgage insurance. Credit score requirements are often higher for conventional loans than for government-backed mortgages. Talk with your Home Loan Specialist about whether a conventional loan may best suit your specific homebuying or refinance needs.
Not only is the VA Loan a great option for home purchasing, but it can also be used for refinancing. Learn more about refinancing with a VA Loan in our next section.

A well build WordPress website will also attract customers nearby in surrounding suburbs like Fitzroy, Collingwood, Parkville, Carlton North, Melbourne, Princes Hill, Fitzroy North, North Melbourne, Clifton Hill, West Melbourne, East Melbourne, Abbotsford, Brunswick East, Docklands, Southbank and your own location at Carlton and even the entire of Australia
Create a website that has high converting design, layout and a great user experience will help your business grow. Brand awareness, how many people know your business by name, recognise your business logo and actively see you online is the best way to transform your business from a 9-5 bricks and mortar business into a 24/7 shopfront that generates income for you while you sleep.
Most Carlton based web design companies will want to charge you thousands of dollars for even the most basic website. If you understand the basic principles of website design and how to make your own website, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.
Let's look at the top ten design aspect of the site before we even begin to build a business website.
The homepage, your online shop front, this page has capture the attention of the visitor with 2-3 seconds.
It should have a very strong CTA (call to action) above the fold. That's the top section of the webpage that the visitor sees first before they begin to scroll.
It should have a very clear Unique Selling Proposition (USP) not that many businesses are completely unique. This means that you need to find what makes your business unique and stand out form all the other businesses nearby
Before you begin making your website, let's look at the top design aspects of the site and what pages you should include before we even start to build a business website.
Your online shop front, this page needs to have captured the attention of the visitor with 2-3 seconds.
It should have a very strong CTA (call to action) above the fold. That's the top section of the webpage that the visitor sees first before they begin to scroll.
It should have a very clear Unique Selling Proposition (USP). Not that many businesses are unique. Meaning you need to find what makes your business unique and what makes it stand out from all the other stores or shops nearby.
The remainder of your home page should have clear ways that your business can solve the visitor's problem, that is the reason they have visited your website. It should logically identify their problem so that the user can relate to it.
Creating a logical flow will demonstrate to the user that you understand their issues and you are a credible business to solve it. As you move down the page, you should provide proof that you are capable of solving their problem.
As you create the page, it should have clear CTA (call to action) at various places throughout the page.
This page should have a form on it for visitors to get in touch with you. It is not advisable to have your email address on this page or as the page gets crawled by spam bots that email address with end up on a lot of lists and will receive a large amount of spam email over time.
A common mistake made when it is your primary sales or support email address it then becomes troublesome filtering out spam from potential customers.
The contact page should also have your business address and other important trading details like office or shop open hours, days of trading and any other relevant licences that apply to your industry. Providing your address will also help with SEO (search engine optimisation) when linked to GMB (Google my business)
Is an excellent opportunity to showcase your team, key staff or yourself. The about page should be the only page you should be talking about yourself awards or corporate achievements
The about page should also have a photo of you or the team to show visitors that you are a real person and the visitor will begin to trust you or your organisation. When there is trust, a visitor is more likely to become a customer. Something beneficial if you are bricks and mortar business, if the visitor comes to your shop they will feel comfortable with they see familiar faces. It's an excellent example of how on-page can help with sales off-page.
Is essential if you are running paid advertisements. Companies like Facebook and Google will disapprove your ads if they find you don't have one. There are some excellent templates available online, but you should always consult a legal advisor if your business has complex policies.
The terms and conditions page is also another page that is required, if you have an existing business then you would already have standard terms and conditions of sale, with some minor adjustments then you could reuse the same document online and offline.
If the customer purchased in your offline store or purchases online there is consistency for them and the purchase should you need to enforce your refund policy or delivery terms for example?
Most visitors will expect to be able to find your shop or business on the internet. Whether you are selling online, or want to provide information about your business, services and contact details, having a website is almost essential.
Start by thinking about what you hope to achieve with your website by drawing up and writing out the pages before you start creating. Researching your competitors' sites can also help you get a clear idea of what might work best for your business.
To create the website, you should follow these necessary steps.
The domain name should reflect your products or services, so your customers can find your business easily through search engines like Google. Your customers might also expect your domain name to be similar or close to your current business name.
Your domain name will be used in your email address. You can use free email providers such as Gmail for sending emails, but a business address will look a lot more professional.
When you are ready to register the domain name, you will need to find a registrar then pay an annual fee. Accredited registrars like That Tech Guy are organisations that are authorised by auDA, who is the Australian domain name administrator. If you are registering an international name as a .com, then different rules and compliance apply. That Tech Guy provide services to people who want to register a new domain name, renew an existing domain name, and make changes to their domain name records.
Find a web hosting company so that you can to get your domain name on the internet. Most internet service providers offer web hosting services. They can also provide you with multiple email addresses depending on the hosting plan you purchase.
There are monthly fees for web hosting that will vary depending on the size of your website and how many visits your site gets each month.
Think about what you would like your customers to achieve via your website. It helps you work out the best sections and pages you will include. Consider the information or transactions your customers are going to make and be sure your site is structured to make it easy for them to find and do everything they need.
Just as you might hire a professional to design your site, you might also want to consider hiring a professional to write and structure your content.
A website that is well designed and easy for customers to use will help your business stand out. Having relevant and appropriate content and images will help customers understand your products and services and will make them feel comfortable with buying from your company.

Figaro Villaggio
- 50% off
- Only on the App
- East Village
- Italian
Lucky for us, a trip to the East Village is just a tad bit cheaper than flying to Rome. Look for us in a post-work haze through the windows of neighborhood newcomer Figaro Villaggio.After a languorous Monday or a head-spinning Wednesday, there'd be few things better than hopping aboard the next flight to a breezy Italian villa on the Mediterranean coast. But while we await our winnings from the New York Lotto, we're bound to get a little hungry. Lucky for us, a trip to the East Village is just a tad bit cheaper than flying to Rome in the meantime. Look for us in a post-work haze through the windows of neighborhood newcomer Figaro Villaggio. The walls glimmer with fresh white paint, the bar glows a calming blueish purple and the friendly service beckons the weary to sip some vino while watching the world make it's way up 1st Avenue through the surrounding floor-ceiling windows.
Dishes are served family style, ideal for passing around amongst famished friends. The Salmon Nicoise Salad makes for a wholesome (and incredibly filling) solo dinner or a shareable start to a laid back night. The Prosciutto & Melon also kicks off a convivial vibe but there's nothing mellow about surrounding a plate of prosciutto with fellow desirous humans. (We'd recommend tactics of diversion in order to swipe the last slice of salty-sweet-juicy goodness.) We're partial to seafood favorites like the Calamari Frito and the Frutti di Mare con Linguine. The crispy fried squid paves the way for the Frutti di Mare's marine treasure trove of shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels and, yes – more calamari in a rich garlic tomato sauce. Or for folks looking for more turf with their surf, we'd also go for the Sirloin Steak & Shrimp, a happy pairing for the carnivores at the table. No matter the eats, it'll feel good to swap the Village for the Villaggio at least for an hour or two.
Menu Highlights
Prosciutto & Fresh Melon, $8
Calamari Frito, $10
Salmon Nicoise Salad, $17
Frutti Di Mare Con Linguine, $18
Sirloin Steak & Shrimp, $27
Monday to Friday, 4 p.m. to 12 a.m.
Saturday & Sunday, 11 a.m. to 12 a.m.

Web Business Monthly
The 5 Habits of Highly Effective eCommerce Stores
1. Think like a consumer, and put your products in more than one category. The online businesses that make their goods and services easy to find reap rewards in two ways: People purchase more and they experience greater overall satisfaction with the Web site. Consider up sell and cross sell opportunities by offering products that make logical sense together. If you sell paintings and frames, show the frames that best complement the paintings. If you sell a line of products that have a wide range of prices, show the progression from the least expensive to the most expensive. Customers may choose to purchase the higher priced items if they're presented as options.
2. Keep it simple. Many people cite overly complicated navigation or too many pages in the purchase path as reasons they don't complete their online sale or abandon their shopping cart. Successful eCommerce sites simplify the checkout process and display clear pricing and shipping information. They also post clear return policies and access to customer service. Putting your brick and mortar store's phone number in a visible place on your Web site is a good idea. Studies suggest that consumers feel more confident knowing you're just a phone call away if they have a question or if there's a problem with their order.
3. A picture really is worth a thousand words, so use photos of your products and go easy on the text. Online usability studies suggest that people do not read; they scan. It's 25% harder to read on the Web, so keep these guidelines in mind for optimum readability: Headlines should be 8 words or less, shoot for 9-12 words on a line (people don't want to read across the entire screen), keep sentences short (15-20 words) and try to keep summaries under 30 words and hold paragraphs to 40-70 words. In this way you can maintain compelling product descriptions alongside your product offerings.
4. Market your site once it's live. It's not enough to just build a Web site. You need to make an effort to market and promote your Web site to new and existing customers. Collect email addresses on your site to help you keep in touch with customers and consider creating a newsletter. Seek links from other sites that complement yours. Optimize your site's content for relevance and submit it to the major search engines. With ProStore, you've got an incredible built-in marketing opportunity in that you can promote your products to millions of eBay customers. Take advantage of this capability to reach a whole new set of customers.
5. Make payment processing easy. Online shoppers need a way to give you money online. That's easy these days. You can accept credit card payments with either a PayPal account or an online merchant account. PayPal is ideal for anyone trying out the eCommerce waters since there's less of an upfront commitment, but you may end up paying more per transaction. If you know from the beginning you're going to have strong sales and lots of online transactions each month, you may want to consider setting up an online merchant account. The thing to note about PayPal is that both the buyer and the seller need a PayPal account, but that's hardly a barrier to entry. It's so easy to create a PayPal account that more than 96 million consumer accounts have been created at PayPal since it was founded in 1998 and it's estimated that PayPal has a 24% share of all U.S. online payments.

Leap Day
Thirty days has September, April, June, and November. All the rest.... well, you know the rest — and if you don't, that's what the Internet is for. But this little jingle reminds us how neat and orderly the modern calendar really is. Each month has a set number of days, and each year has a set number of months.
There's just one little blip — a blip that appears today: Leap Day. It's added to every fourth year to keep the calendar aligned with the seasons.
Earth's annual march around the Sun takes 365 days and almost six hours, and those extra hours have to be accounted for to keep the calendar in sync with the seasons.
The basic calendar we use today was instituted by Julius Caesar — a system of 12 months, each with a fixed length, for a total of 365 days. Even in Caesar's time, though, those six extra hours were well known. So an extra day was added to every fourth February, making the years average out to exactly 365-and-a-quarter days.
But the true year is actually a few minutes less than that. By the 16th century, those minutes had added up to a big difference. So Pope Gregory the 13th ordered a change in the calendar: Leap Day is dropped from three of every four "century" years — years that end with double zeroes.
Even this system isn't perfect — it leaves an error of one day every 3300 years. Still, we've got quite a few centuries to go before anyone has to tinker yet again with the rules for Leap Day.

coupon dude brauchte ein neues Website Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 83 Designs von 39 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Guaranteed Contest! No coding. Just provide us with a PSD or AI file. We need a new look for our website. CouponShack.com is a leading site for online coupon codes. We had almost 2 million visitors last year according to Google Analytics. Let millions see your work! See brief for specific instructions
We need a new, simple, elegant, web 2.0 style design for http://www.couponshack.com. Site must be 960px wide and include header, navigation menu, left side menu and main content section with 2 example coupons and 2 example products. We want the same logo and color scheme and a similar layout to what we already have. I dont want to be too restrictive so we can get a wide range of designs/styles. See the project details for specific things that need to be included. Thanks and I look forward to seeing some good designs!
- 960px wide
- Same logo as current site
- Same color scheme (orange, blue and gray), but you can use different shades,etc.. if you think it will make the site look better.
- Top section must include the logo on the left and links/icons on the right for "Browse By Category", "Browse By Store" and "Browse By Brand"
- Navigation bar below the logo section that includes links or buttons/tabs for: Home, New Coupons, Printable Coupons, Hot Deals, Blog, My Account
- Search input and button below or above the navigation bar (probably below). Make this a noticeable part of the site. We want this to be one of the first things our users see.
- Left side menu (maybe 200-250px wide). This should include a section for them to sign up for coupons in their email (graphic, input field and a submit button). Also need a link for our users to add us on facebook.com and follow us on twitter. Use the twitter/facebook icons on this part
- Main content section should take up the rest of the width of the page. We need the name of the store that has coupons (Use Macy's as an example) at the top, and 2 example coupons and 2 example products. Here is what we currently have: http://www.couponshack.com/stores/s…1023/Macys. We want something that looks different than what we currently have.
- The coupons need to stand out so the user can tell they are each individual coupons. Each coupon must include the following: Description (10% off), Coupon Code (make this stand out), Expiration, Rating % (use something different than the stars we currently have), links/icons for the user to say if the coupon worked, and a timeline graph that shows how many positive or negative votes each coupon had each day. And a button that says "Activate Coupon". We also want an expandable section for comments. This could be an comment icon that is clicked. When it is clicked, the coupon section expands to show comments for that particular coupon. So we need 2 example coupons - one with the comment closed and one with the comment section expanded. Users can leave their name and comment and it will appear in a list below the other coupon information.
- 2 example products with the same info on that Macy's example page I provided. Make it look better than what we currently have
- We also need a footer with links for Privacy Policy | Terms & Conditions | Contact | Advertise | About Us | Help
- Copyright and a small black and white version of the logo at the bottom.
- Here are some websites that we like the look and/or graphic style of. I am just providing these for inspiration so you can tell what styles we like. Don't copy the layout of these sites.- http://vimeo.com/1243024
- http://macrabbit.com/cssedit/
- http://www.shopify.com/
- http://www.apple.com/iphone/
- http://www.mypunchbowl.com/
- http://www.threadless.com/
- dont want a large header like some web 2.0 sites have. Keep it to a reasonable height. See our sister site http://www.priceclipper.com for an example of the header height.
- unoriginal work. No templates from templateMontser.com, etc..
- No photos. Just use illustrations.

Colorado State Fair dinner draws Hickenlooper, rivals
Gov. John Hickenlooper and two of the Republicans who want to unseat him — state Sen. Greg Brophy and Secretary of State Scott Gessler — were among those in Pueblo Friday at the annual legislative dinner kicking off the Colorado State Fair.
Brophy, a Wray Republican, got off one of the best lines of the night when he posed for a picture with former state Rep. Buffie McFadyen, a Pueblo West Democrat who now serves on the Pueblo County commission. At the legislature, she was a staunch advocate for prison workers.
"She's going to be my DOC chief," Brophy cracked.
Bystanders joked if that's the case Brophy can count on the endorsement of the state union, Colorado WINS.
Others at the dinner included Attorney General John Suthers and the two Republicans who want to succeed him next year when his term expires: Rep. Mark Waller of Colorado Springs and Suthers' chief deputy, Cynthia Coffman of Aurora.

Hey, Scribesters! Suze here, coming to you from deep in the cave (the writer's cave and its next-door neighbor, the editor's cave).
Whatcha reading these days? Me, I've got a couple of books going.
Stephen King's Doctor Sleep. Ever wonder what happened to Danny Torrance, the little Red-rum kid from The Shining? Well, he's ba-a-a-ack! (I know, I'm mixing movies here) And honestly things are not so great for him. This is classic Stephen King–beautiful writing about horrifying stuff. I don't want to put this down. I wish I had a couple days of uninterrupted reading time, but, like a fine wine, I need to sip, not guzzle this book. So far, I adore it!
I'm also reading a YA book, Slither, Book 11 in The Last Apprentice series by Joseph Delaney. This is scary stuff! Think Grimm's fairy tales with every myth and monster you can think of (and some new ones too) putting our hero, Tom Ward, and the rest of the world into ever-increasing danger. While the prose reads like a middle grade book, in my opinion these stories are not for anyone younger than 6th grade. And the illustrations are gorgeous–done in the style of old woodcut drawings. There's one more book in the series coming out next year, and while I can't wait to see if Tom defeats The Fiend once and for all and if Alice can save herself, I'll be sad to see this series end.
How about you? Are you on a horror kick like I am? What are you reading these days?

Skip to 0 minutes and 1 secondI think the biggest change for us really is that diabetes isn't the centre of our world anymore. Our whole lives revolved around Jack and his diabetes. Wherever we went we had to make sure that we had plenty of sweets, or however long a journey was, was it going to be time for his insulin. Our whole-- our, literally our whole lives revolved around Jack and his diabetes. And that's completely changed now. It's not the centre of our world anymore. The children are.
The biggest change for us

This is the last issue of the IPPF Newsletter before the November election. Please register to vote. I know I talk about this often, but I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to vote and hold our elected officials and ourselves accountable. This election will decide the turn which the country will take for the next four years. Since our healthcare system is overburdened and costs have skyrocketed, one of the big issues being discussed is how best to fix our broken healthcare system.
Personally, this issue is high on my agenda in deciding which person I will vote for. I also encourage you to check out the health plans of the two candidates. They are very different. You can find their plans on their websites. For John McCain's health program visit johnmccain.com; for Barack Obama's plan visit barackobama.com. But just don't believe what they say, read descending opinions on both sides.
My level of concern is about making sure that everyone who has pemphigus or pemphigoid gets immediate coverage whether they have health insurance or not. I want the costs to be reasonable and accessible.
Although many of us have had insurance when we were first diagnosed, there are numbers of patients who do not. There are also numbers of patients who have lost their insurance because they lost their jobs for one reason or another. COBRA will cover people for a while, but the premiums are often exorbitant. If someone loses their job, what opportunities are there for a person living with a chronic illness to be eligible for employment especially if they have active disease and are over 40 Of course disability is an option, but you have to make sure that you fight like hell for it because it just isn't that easy to get especially if you get rejected the first time. Sometimes it can take years.
For those who are doing well with insurance plans, I want you to consider the issues that all of us face with our health care needs when you vote. I have voted in every Presidential election since I was able to vote. I consider it a privilege to be in a country that allows us to pick the people we think would make our best leaders especially when, still, in this 21st Century, there are men and especially women unable to make these kinds of choices. Don't take your vote for granted. Your vote does count! So, please, if you are not yet registered, Register! And, don't forget to vote in November.

Benchmarking the new Mac Pro's default Nvidia GeForce GT 120 against the ATI Radeon HD 4870—a $US200 upgrade—Crave finds that the Radeon doesn't deliver a whole lot of boom, especially in Call of Duty.
It does provide a bump over the cheaper GT 120, but as Rich Brown says, it only pushes the Mac Pro's gaming performance from "mediocre" to "acceptable." And this is on his $US3499 review machine.
Obviously there are way cheaper and more powerful Windows alternatives for gaming, especially if you build your own, but the option for an even awesomer (if pricier) graphics card from Apple, like a Radeon HD 4870 X2, would be nice. We know the Mac Pro isn't built for gamers, but still. Let's hear your best "Macs suck for gaming" comments below anyway. Be clever, people! [Crave]

According to Jon Heyman the Cubs have agreed to sign pitcher Carlos Villanueva. Villanueva, 29 has spent time as both a reliever and a starting pitcher. Cub fans probably remember him during his stint with the Brewers in which he did most of his work out the pen. Last year with the Blue Jays he made 16 starts and over the last two years he has made 29. He will be looking for the opportunity to win a spot in the rotation and hopefully have a chance to be a starter. No news yet on the terms of the deal. As more becomes known we will let you know.
George Update:
Deal is confirmed, 2 years $10M for Villanueva, here is more from mlbtraderumors.com
Villanueva, 29, pitched to a 4.16 ERA with 8.8 K/9 and 3.3 BB/9 in 125 1/3 innings spread across 16 starts and 22 relief appearances for the Blue Jays last season. He's made 29 starts and 42 relief appearances over the last two seasons and has proven capable in both roles. Earlier this offseason we heard Villanueva was reportedly seeking the opportunity to make 30 starts next season, an opportunity the Cubs can provide.

Archive specialist house Historic Films says it has acquired a reel of nitrate film shot in 1907 containing previously unseen material from the so-called Gilded Age in Manhattan. The reel includes some of the earliest moving images of Macy's Department store on 5th Avenue and unique footage of the legendary Reisenweber's Cafe, where historically, in 1917 the Jazz Age began. The material exists on what is perhaps the last surviving asset of a long forgotten motion picture company, Spitz & Orth. The reel, which runs for five minutes, was purchased from them in 1932 by Meyer David Strong and has come to Historic Films from his great grandson Henry Strong. It is said to be in excellent condition, and had been digitised in 4K.

London's Imperial War Museum film division has newly digitised and made available for licensing remarkable film of the biggest airborne invasion in military history, an operation that involved British and American airborne divisions, and polish parachute brigades. In all, the invasion into German-held Holland in September 1944, known as "Operation Market", involved more than 1,700 aircraft, each packed with equipment and parachutists, with each towing a glider containing troops. The air operation delivered some 14,589 troops by glider and 20,011 by parachute.

HISTORIC ACQUIRES LATE 20th CENTURY ARCHIVE
Aug 12, 2019
Archive specialist house Historic Films has acquired the footage library of Best Shot, an independent archive that operated in Florida until 2016 holding material from the late 1980s. It was founded as a company in Tampa around 1990, the holding being organized and owned by founder Peter Klein. It focussed on then "contemporary" footage, representing several shooters and kept its focus primarily on the USA - American locations, life styles and pop culture. Klein sold the company around 2008 and Historic acquired it through its current owner, Ron Ceyrolles who remains with the library and will reorganize the Florida office and act as Historic's library manager. Historic Films' CEO Joe Lauro says the acquisition is "in keeping with our mission to try to keep twenty years behind the times." The library is currently being reorganized and brought online with material due to become available to stream and download for licensing through Historic Films beginning from the fall.

Royalty-free house Shutterstock reports that although revenues in the second quarter of this year at $161.7 million showed an increase of three percent, as compared to the second quarter of 2018, total income from operations dropped some 45 percent to $3.1m. The company says the fall is due to increased operating expenses "attributable to general and administrative expenses, which include increases in compensation, one-time severance costs, and depreciation and amortization." The company has lowered its full-year financial outlook forecast to predict an annual income from operations at between $18m and $32m. Shutterstock, which markets images and footage, says its offering has grown to 280 images and 15 million video clips, each sector having increased by some 37 percent year-on-year.

Happy Tom Tresh Day! (October 10th)
I would like to wish all my friends at Was Watching a joyous Tom Tresh Day. So celebrate your Yankees fandom accordingly this holiday. What? Columbus who? Don't know him. Just where was he on this date in 1962? I know where Tom Tresh was:
Yankee Stadium, Game 5 of the World Series, played before a crowd of over 63,000 (yeah, this was the old old stadium).
The Series was tied up at 2 games apiece between the Yankees and the Giants—and with games 6 and 7 to be played in windy Candlestick Park a win today was seen as critical for the Bombers. Could they pull it off?
The pitching match-ups of aces Ralph Terry (23-12 regular season) and Jack Sanford (24-7) was a rematch of Game 2 when Sanford bested Terry 2-0 on a 3 hit shutout, so runs would probably be at a premium. And, as it turned out, they were.
The day did not start out well for Tresh and the Yankees. The rookie came to bat in the bottom of the 1st with Richardson and Kubek on 1st and 2nd with none out and hit a line shot—right at Sanford, who stuck out his glove , snagged the ball, and flipped it to McCovey to catch Richardson off 1st. Double Play. The Yankees would not score. But the Giants pushed a run across in the 3rd to take a 1-0 lead. That was the score when Tresh came to bat to lead off the 4th inning and promptly doubled. He was moved to 3rd on a ground out and then scampered home on a Sanford wild pitch to tie the game at 1-1. But a Jose Pagan solo shot in the 5th put the Giants back on top 2-1. The Yankees mounted their comeback (of sorts) one inning later. Richardson led off with a single. Tom Tresh laid down a sac bunt (yep #3 hitter sacrifices) to move Richardson to 2nd. Richardson then moved to 3rd on a Mantle ground out and then, with Sanford facing Maris, the Giant ace unleashed a pitch that catcher Tom Haller couldn't handle. Passed Ball. Game tied again 2-2. And that was the score going into the bottom of the 8th when Tom Tresh came to the plate with Richardson and Kubek on 1st and 2nd again. Only this time Sanford wouldn't catch the ball hit off Tresh's bat. Neither would Felipe Alou. It would be caught by some nameless, lucky Yankees fan in the Right Field seats cheering hoarsely as Tresh rounded the bases with a 3 run homer. 5-2 Yankees. What a moment! And as the Giants went on to score a run in their half of the 9th and then went on to beat Whitey Ford in Game 6 it was perhaps a turning point in the Series. Yes Ralph Terry got the win. But the day, October 10th, belonged to Tom Tresh.
You know the rest. Terry and Sanford matched up a 3rd time in Game 7. McCovey's liner to Richardson in the bottom of the 9th with two outs, the score 1-0, and runners on 2nd and 3rd. And the Yankees are Champions.
I was 7 years old when the Yankees won that World Series.
I would be 22 when they won their next.
Such was my childhood.
Happy Tom Tresh Day to all!

TORONTO, Dec. 10 (UPI) -- A Toronto woman is in custody facing the old and rare charge of practicing witchcraft, along with fraud charges, police said.
The charge of practicing witchcraft in Canada's Criminal Code dates back to 1892 and was filed against 36-year-old Vishwantee Persaud in late November, the Toronto Star reported.
The woman allegedly gained the confidence of long-time criminal lawyer Noel Daley, who told the Law Times he gave the woman nearly $150,000 in salary as a legal assistant, for business ventures that never materialized and cancer treatments.
Persaud also faces two fraud charges in connection with some of those ventures, but the witchcraft charge stemmed from an incident in which she allegedly read Tarot cards for Daley and told him she was the embodiment of his dead sister, the report said.
Law Professor Alan Young at York University's Osgoode Hall law school, told the Star the witchcraft charge doesn't so much target witches, but those who fake mystical powers and prey on vulnerable people.
Persaud is to make her next court appearance Dec. 24, police said.

I didn't ask to be here. Or. Let me correct that. I didn't explicitly ask to be here - in this situation - under these circumstances. Next time, I'll be more specific in my request for redemption while staring death in the face and pleading for any deal to keep me from burning for all eternity. That's not to say I don't deserve the punishment. I found pleasure in deceit, drinking in the pain and sorrow of others as I ripped all that was precious to them into itty bitty shreds to be tossed in

The Burning Queen Be at it Again
"I found his decision interesting. While many came to my kingdom, it wasn't for everyone. Daemon and lost soul alike coexisted in a lover's dance plagued by mistrust, denigration, and most of all the the heavy hand of my reign.

Takai stared up at the sixteen story building looming above, the shiny gold lettering spelling out the word Cystern glistening in what was left of the sunlight. Perched on nearly thirty acres outside the Atlanta metropolitan areas, the back of the building overlooked an eighteen acre lake, a thick line of trees forming an arched barrier, keeping prying eyes out.

- 3 medium carrots, about 8 ounces, peeled and julienned, or 2 1/2 cups storebought shredded carrots
- For the For the chicken fingers:
- Cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 4 cups (3 1/2 ounces) crispy rice cereal
- 1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 egg whites
