Cupid strikes: Mariners bullpen catcher marrying woman he spotted in stands
Jason Phillips grabbed a baseball, scribbled his phone number on it, got the woman's attention and tossed it to her. And for the rest of the game, he was left to wonder how she'd respond.
Seattle Times staff columnist
The courtship started in a bullpen, of all places.
Jason Phillips spotted a woman at Safeco Field last May and knew he had to make a choice: Be bold or be ignored. As the Mariners bullpen catcher, Phillips is used to anonymity, used to spending half the year tucked away in a box with pitchers. It's a thankless job that he does well and without complaint. But this time, he needed to stand out or risk eternal regret.
He shared a few stares with the woman, who was entertaining business clients. Then he made a promise to the fellas in the 'pen.
"If we go extra innings, I'm gonna make a move," Phillips said. "If we go to extra innings, that's gotta be a sign."
The game with the Oakland A's went into extra innings. Phillips grabbed a baseball, scribbled his number on it, got the woman's attention and tossed it to her. And for the rest of the game, he was left to wonder how she'd respond. He couldn't wait to return to the clubhouse and check his messages. Naturally, the game would drag for 15 excruciating innings.
But by then, she had sent him a text message: "My name is Molly. Nice to meet you."
And that's how a bullpen catcher fell in love.
On Sunday, Jason Phillips and Molly Ray will get married, and their wedding guests will attend the ceremony in the only logical place to celebrate their serendipitous romance.
The bullpen.
"It kind of has to be there," Phillip says. "It's only right."
The Mariners play Cincinnati at 1:10 p.m. Sunday. As soon as the final out is recorded, the 'pen will be transformed to show off its glamorous side. For a few hours, it won't be the place where boys get to be boys while waiting to put out fires. It won't be ground zero for some of the filthiest verbal assaults that players receive from fans, as is often the case for road teams across baseball. It will be a place for pure, unapologetic mushiness.
The ceremony will begin about an hour and a half after the game ends. For a team led by Jill Hashimoto, the Mariners' director of event sales and marketing, it'll require a well-scripted plan to clean, decorate, usher in guests and create a wedding-like ambience.
Safeco Field normally hosts 10 or 12 weddings a year. Couples wait until the Mariners set their schedule and plan their events around the ballgames. But this one will be different.
"It's my first wedding in a bullpen," Hashimoto said enthusiastically. "Normally, they're at home plate. But it's incredibly special."
Hashimoto can't reveal too many plans because some of it is a surprise even to the bride and groom. Phillips and Ray are low-key people. They're having a small wedding of less than 40 people, which is actually perfect for the bullpen. They weren't planning on much decorating until Hashimoto and the Mariners assisted with some imagination.
"There are a lot of things we can do here," Hashimoto said. "Anything we can do to exceed what their expectations are would be huge for me. This is an opportunity to create something really special for Jason, Molly and their guests."
The wedding is the culmination of a fast-moving, 13-month romance for the couple. A few nights after Phillips' bold flirtation last May, the two met for food and drinks at Lola restaurant in Belltown. Ray brought some friends with her to, as Phillips said, "make sure I wasn't an idiot."
He passed that test. Then they realized they had a lot in common. Both were divorced with children — and weren't interested in getting married again. Phillips admired Ray's ambition and knew she could handle being with someone who spends 81 games, not to mention spring training, away from home. Ray works for the Pan Pacific Hotel as an executive in charge of corporate sales and sustainable partnerships.
"It's my second chance," Phillips said of marrying Ray. "She's gorgeous. She has a great job. She has great ambition. It's like a mulligan for me. I didn't know what I wanted before, but now I do. She's my best friend. I'm so lucky to have her in my life."
He also says he's fortunate to be with the Mariners. They've made planning this wedding easier. Of course, as he mentions this, Phillips acknowledges that Ray has been stuck with finalizing most of the particulars, but he's happy that she is in partnership with an organization that feels like family.
"It's nice to be able to share this opportunity with them," said Phillips, 33, who added that a large portion of the team will be in attendance. "Jack (Zduriencik) was the second person to RSVP, after my sister. The game becomes so monotonous. You're looking for things to change, to be able to say, 'Oh, that was different.' This is kind of like a midseason break for all of us."
It's a break that will last a day. The Mariners will be off Monday and then open a three-game series with the Chicago Cubs the next day. It'll be a short honeymoon, but plans have already been made for a real one in Italy after the season ends.
For now, though, it's back to the bullpen, where sometimes the catcher throws the pitch, the dream girl receives the toss, and love occurs in the unlikeliest of places.

text: Blow Up! (Mid Valley 146/147) Disc 1. Introduction – White Room – Sunshine of Your Love – I'm So Glad – Sitting On Top of the World Disc 2. Crossroads – Train Time – Toad – Spoonful Dallas is one of Cream's last dates of their Wheels Of Fire tour (also known as their Farewell Tour) in the US, which would wrap up at the Rhode Island Auditorium in Providence on November 4th. The story on the making of this recording can be read on the back cover: This truly remarkable recording was made in the photo pit on a reel-to-reel recorder with permission from the band. Mics were placed at the front of the stage just above the photo pit. The result is indeed outstanding for a 40 year old audience recording. Apart from Mid Valley's, there are a couple of other releases covering this night: Oil Cream (Shout to the Top – STTP 025/026) and Farewell Tour – Searching In Dallas (Original Precious Masters – OPM 001/002). It would be great if someone could compare all recordings and share his/her opinion here. Wheels of Fire had been released in June 1968 and Cream was an absolute money making machine, earning an average of $25,000 a night. Despite their popularity and despite the money they were making, the band decided to split up in May 1968 right in the middle of their US tour but it wasn't until July that Cream's management made the news public. To thank their American fans was the advertised reason for finishing the tour but with the amount of money mentioned before it is easy to understand that the real reason for doing that was just money. Disc1 begins with 3 minutes of audience noise and some tuning up before a female voice quickly introduces the band by saying "Here they are – The Cream!" White Room opens the show and sees Jack Bruce mixing up some of the lyrics on the verse "I walked into such a sad time at the station" and EC delivering an agressive solo on the outro. Sunshine is fantastic and features a very nice drum work from Ginger but it is again EC who steals the song with another agressive solo. I'm So Glad is introduced by Ginger by saying "We'd now like to do a number, I'm So Glad You Came". This has got to be my favourite number of the night with 10 minutes of great playing from the trio. EC delivers a great 3-minute solo then eventually returning to the basic chords before embarking on another 2-minute journey then to go back to the basic chords again. After that it looks like some kind of equipment failure takes place as EC's guitar becomes inaudible to Jack and Ginger's surprise forcing them to play in duet mode for more than a minute before EC comes back to close the song. A great rendition of the bluesy Sitting On Top of the World closes Disc1. Jack does a great job on the vocals while EC throws in another remarkable solo. Disc2 begins with a funny anecdote. Jack introduces Crossroads as the Robert Johnson song that EC did on the Disraeli Gears!! album…. The audience immediately calls out Wheels of Fire… and Jack can then be heard saying "Oh yeah, you're right". Featuring two guitar solos, my vote goes to the second one. It is true that Jack sings and plays his heart out on Traintime but it is just too long and too boring for me. The best thing about it is EC's introduction: "We'd like to do another number from the… the live album and this one features Jack on the harmonica and it's called Traintime". EC's guitar is not present until the final chord. Not being a fan of drum solos, it's easy to conclude Toad is a world away from being of my favourite Cream tunes ever. Again introduced by EC, Toad is long at 18+ minutes and features a marathon drum solo – which I admit I like at some points! – which is preceded by some nice passages in which Jack and EC play very quietly, very slowly. Spoonful is the last song of the night. Another extended song at 20+ minutes, for me the best takes place within the first half of it. Got to love EC's agressive playing once again!! The tape source used for this recording speeds up for a couple seconds at about 7:32, this being the only flaw I found of this recording. Blow Up! is an excellent audience recording for the era and captures a very solid performance by any Cream standards. Highly recommended. If you liked this review, buy me a cup of joe.

(Mid Valley MVR 146/147)"Subscribes to this topic Comment RSS or TrackBack URLJust got this title today and it is an amazing audience recording for the era. There is a little overloading from Jack's bass initially which results in a little high end sizzle but this clears up after the first couple of songs and it is just an excellent audience recording. Other than the Detroit, Oakland and LA soundboards this is the best sounding Cream title I have heard…Must have for any Cream fan…. Another CD title that covers this same concert that I just acquired on Friday is called "This Wheels on Fire" (by Gold Standard label – CBB 102568), which comes with all 8 songs on just 1 disc (79:27). I don't know how it compares to any of the others since unfortunately I haven't heard any of the others, but so far it doesn't seem too bad, is considerably enjoyable, and so far the only significant flaw that really stands out to me is a very noticeable problem of volume fluctuations in approx. the 1st 15-30 seconds or so of the opening track – 'White Room'. Although I realize that the Shout to the Top label doesn't exactly have a great reputation here, esp. among Plomerus (hopefully he's still out there somewhere), GSparaco, etc., their old 1999 2-CD release "Oil Cream", which I recently received within the Western Hemisphere, and of which the 2-CD "Farewell Tour 1968 – Searching in Dallas" on the OPM (Original Precious Masters) label may be a copy, at least pretty-much, may be nearly as good as Mid Valley's "Blow Up!", which I still haven't heard – or possibly even a tiny bit better, as 1 or 2 Cream boot sites have both the STTP & OPM titles rated even slightly superior to MVR's "Blow Up!". They're at least certainly better than the "This Wheels on Fire" (sic) 1-CD by the Gold Standard label. You need to login in order to post your comments |

And The Winner Is…
It's official! Jesse and David will be the lucky couple walking down the aisle in a Central Park wedding.
They beat out 50 other hopefuls to snag the grand prize: a dream wedding in Central Park. But, the competition was tough, and the coveted $5,000 check didn't come easy. Armed with homemade fortune cookies and donning hand-decorated t-shirts, Jesse and David hit the streets of New York.
They serenaded us with a song in a YouTube video and even made their own Facebook page to get votes. A little creative marketing can sure go a long way! Jesse and David successfully spread the word about the contest, charming their way to 1,267 votes.
…And they charmed their way into our hearts (what can we say, we're suckers for a good love story). Jesse and David met a year and a half ago, and the connection was undeniable. Right away, they knew they had something special. To Jesse, David was "the funniest, most honest, and real person I had ever met," and David says Jesse is "the smartest, funniest, most motivated, most inspiring, and most beautiful woman I know." Come on, guys, this is too adorable!
As two starving artists in New York City, their dream wedding was once just a fantasy, but now the collaborative Done. community will make their special day a reality. Congratulations, Jesse and David! We foresee a beautiful wedding in your future.

MELBOURNE, December 25: The jury is still out on how the MCG pitch will behave on the Boxing Day, but India and Australia have more or less decided on their respective line-ups for the opening Test. In a typical game of one-upmanship, both Anil Kumble and Ricky Ponting refused to divulge their final elevens on Christmas Day, but figuring out their chosen ones is no big deal.
Unlike Kumble, who has a problem of plenty, Ponting's task is simpler because he has to choose only from 12 guys. The Australian captain seems to have made up his mind on playing left-arm wrist spinner Brad Hogg, leaving out the pacy Shaun Tait. If Ponting decided to prolong the suspense, it could be because of two reasons: First, he wanted to see whether the sun would be out in full glory on the Boxing Day and second, he wanted to match Kumble's tight-lipped approach.

Talk4this wiki
Wallace is an inventor, main protagonist and half of the title duo of "Wallace & Gromit".
He delights in creating elaborate contraptions that often do not work as intended. He is a self-proclaimed genius, evident from his exclamation when he discovers Hutch's borrowed skill, a talent for all things mechanical. Most of Wallace's inventions look not unlike the designs of Heath Robinson and Rube Goldberg; creator Nick Park has said of Wallace that all his inventions are designed around the principle of "using a sledgehammer to crack a nut".
Wallace can usually be found wearing a white shirt, brown wool trousers, green knitted pullover and a red tie. He loves cheese and crackers, describing them as "cracking". He also likes tea. The thought of Lancashire hotpot keeps him going in a crisis. He enjoys a nice cup of tea or a drop of Bordeaux red for those special occasions. He reads the Morning Post, the Afternoon Post and the Evening Post and occasionally Ay-Up!, which is a parody of Hello! magazine.
Some of Wallace's contraptions actually are based on a real-life invention. For example, Wallace's method of getting up in the morning incorporates a bed that tips over to wake up its owner, an invention that was exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851 by Theophilus Carter, and is similar to a device sold in Japan that is used to ensure a certain wakeup time.
He has a kindly nature, and is perhaps a little over-optimistic. Nick Park says of Wallace: "He's a very self-contained figure. A very homely sort who doesn't mind the odd adventure." Wallace is loosely based on Park's father, whom he described in a radio interview as "an incurable tinkerer." He described one of his father's constructions, a combination beach hut and trailer, as having curtains in the windows, bookshelves on the walls, and full-sized furniture bolted to the floor.
In the first photo shown on The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, it was revealed that once, when Gromit was little, Wallace had much hair and beard and, on the photo that shows Gromit's graduation from "Dogwarts University", Wallace had lost his beard, but still had a little hair. The reason behind Wallace's loss of hair is unknown.
Both Wallace and Gromit live together at the ficticious address of 62 West Wallaby Street, Wigan, Lancashire. However, his accent as voiced by Peter Sallis is from Sallis' native Holme Valley in Yorkshire but in 2007 Wallace made a cameo appearance on Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends in the episode "Ticket to Rod" and he was voiced by Dwight Schultz.
In the National Trust's A Jubilee Bunt-a-thon short film, all games except Project Zoo, and Wallace And Gromit's Musical Marvels At The Proms, he was voiced by Aardman Team Member, Ben Whitehead. In Project Zoo, Wallace is voiced by Peter Sallis.
- Wallace was originally a postman named, Jerry, but Nick Park felt the name did not fit with Gromit.
This page uses Creative Commons Licensed content from Wikipedia (view authors). |
- Wallace's usual day clothes is a green knitted pullover, a white shirt, brown coloured trousers and red tie.
- In "Curse of the Were-Rabbit", Wallace is sometimes wearing the Anti-Pesto uniform and cap.
- In "The Last Resort", after Wallace get's all the thing he need for the Seaside in the cellar, Wallace is wearing an orange tie, a red shirt with white stripes, and red trousers.
- In "The Bogey Man", after Gromit make Wallace join Prickly Thicket, Wallace is wearing an Prickly Thicket official tanktop instead of his pullover for the rest of the episode.
- Hotter Gromit!
- Hmm, new boiler, lad. That will save us some pennies.

Social Networking: Is it making you more sociable?
Rachel Maas, Jr. Staff Writer
December 23, 2011
Filed under Breaking News, News, Top Stories
If you're a high school student reading this article, chances are you have utilized some form of social networking site. According to digitalbuzzblog.com, the number of Facebook users has now reached over 500 million, which means approximately one in every thirteen people in the world have an account. This same website also claims that "71.2% of the U.S. web audience is on Facebook" (Hepburn, np). Facebook still dominates as the social networking site of choice for most teens, but Twitter is quickly gaining popularity as it has recently reached over 100 million users. Statistics for both sites show that about fifty percent of "Facebookers" and "Tweeters" are logging in daily. "Seventy percent of teens surveyed by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University admit to social networking almost every day"( 2). In the past year, mobile apps for these online socializing giants have surged in popularity. Social networking is becoming the communicator of choice, and virtually everyone is subscribing.
But what does this mean for us teens? How does all of this socializing via the internet affect how we interact with others? And how does it affect us as individuals? A lot of people are offering up answers. In August of 2011, The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University released a study that showed correlations between teens who social network and substance abuse. The study found that teens who are frequently logged into sites like Facebook and Twitter are "five times more likely to use tobacco, three times more likely to use alcohol, and twice as likely to use marijuana"(2). Furthermore, social media could possibly be damaging real life social skills. People are now learning at a young age how to express themselves online, perhaps better than how to express themselves in person. Studies have found that overuse of such sites can actually increase a teen's chance of having problems with anxiety and depression. Social networking can also make adolescents actually feel less connected. And there's also the sense of anonymity that teens feel while in front of a computer screen. Often teens update statuses or tweet without truly realizing at that moment that everything they put out there is in cyberspace for good.
However, this same sense of anonymity provided by social media shows to have some positive affects. Dr. Larry D. Rosen, professor of psychology at California State University was recently quoted in an article featured in The Huffington Post. Dr. Rosen said that this feeling of being somewhat anonymous can help shy teens in becoming more outgoing. Rosen's research also points out another interesting positive of social networking: social interaction on the internet seems to promote empathy between people (Turgeon, np ). The most obvious advantage to sites like Facebook and Twitter has been their ability to make the world a much smaller place, enabling users to easily keep in touch with a large number of people, including friends and family they might not usually see.
No matter which way you look at it, social networking is here to stay. It is quickly changing the way we communicate, for better and worse.

at least you've been backing up reguarly my husband thoughtfully suggested. and therein lies the rub.

Capturing good (knowledge) things.
Welcome! Duly Knowtes™ is about good reasons and good ways to capture knowledge. Knowledge, information, and insights that smart people carry in their heads that continues to hold value and might otherwise be lost as people leave their companies and careers. It's not about capturing all of anyone's knowledge —not possible, of course—or manageable. It's more about finding and recording small nuggets, premium chunks, process insights, connecting pieces, favorites, and best advice that still makes a difference in hard-to-quantify but real ways.
I've set up Duly Knowtes as a companion blog to Duly Knowted,™ a service offering I've developed. My plan—part of my ongoing instructional design work—is to develop and apply practical capture tools with businesses and organizations as their owners and managers anticipate key employees retiring or leaving. I plan to share what I'm thinking about and learning here.
Duly Knowtes is also a discussion space to look at what it takes to review, select, assemble and pass forward the best stuff. It's about knowledge legacy, leveraging good information and acknowledging the asset holder.
You're invited to share your whys, whats, and hows—from direct, observed or anticipated transition experiences—your own or others' experiences. I can summarize responses and share back.
Here's a starter question—actually, two: If you were to retire tomorrow ("That's it! I 'm done!"), what one type or topic of knowledge would you most want to pass along—assuming the future and well being of the group means something to you? (If you've already retired, was there something in hindsight you would have liked to pass along?) And, what form might that information take—a letter, a file of samples, a picture, a diagram, a list, a video, a podcast?
Comment back to the blog, subscribe and/or write me at email@example.com. I'll be in touch!

WATCH: The SRSLY Girls Land An Internship Interview With Refinery29
Everyone here at Styleite has had to cut their teeth at some sort of internship before, but it's safe to say that none of our interviews involved knowing our interviewer's real name, or social media stats. The funny ladies behind SRSLY, however, did have to rattle off facts like nobody's business in their hilarious spoof with Refinery29. How do the girls get it right every single time?
For their faux internship interview with Refinery29, Danielle Gibson and Alex Fiber are given hasty office tours and told of the less-than-ideal job requirements by the site's global editor Connie Wang, NY editor Annie Georgia Greenberg, and marketing associate Alex Gurule. Gibson and Fiber then sit down for an intense interview with the three editors, and are grilled about Wang's real name, where Gurule cuts her hair, and the number of Twitter followers R29 has. Of course, none of this happens in a real internship interview, but the spoof nails just how intimidating an interviewer can seem to a girl who's just trying to get her foot in the door.
Watch it right here:

Posted by Greg Hanoway on 7/4/2012, 3:12 am, in reply to "Re: More about PAN AM"
Hi Larry Erica I remember these times many years ago when I was a flight attendant out of JFK based I mean one night we were rostered to fly out on ship 656pa bound for MIA/LHR we never got off the ground with this jet until they filled it only forty people for a 747-121 flight to LHR practically empty.Now what a waste of money flying a big aircraft like that on a short domestic then onto London with 59 passengers and full crew from MIA. But they flew her across this is the break down of running cost. How many airliners would fly such a large jet empty across the Atlantic for the exception of ferried aircraft going to the desert out of service yes. Then a few days later back to JFK from LHR on ship 739pa this was in 1982 PA 003. I am just saying even some of the internal American routes were the same with 707, 727,L1011's DC10's . The only profits made were from Pacific long haul sectors to HKG?SYD?AKL/HNL/LAX/JNB. The planes were always full or over full on 747sp jets and 747B jets. So it strikes me dead to why flight ops never restructured there air routes to fight off there competitors and operate small aircraft into bigger airports and less non profitable services. Then to pay us the crew and catering cost the company considerable amount and the fuel. I do agree PAN AM should never have had this frequent flyer program they lost out to much. It should have being kept only for the long haul air routes. Well my last flight out of JFK to MIA was aboard a 747-121 ship 749PA we just made it out when we were told of the news on the way in flight to MIA. I felt speechless my gut felt turned up side down along with the other crew. Instead we let the passengers help themselves to the galley as much as they wanted to eat or drink we gave out first class business class toiletry pack the blue packs with soap etc in them why not we were sacked in mid air. But we got a warm happy cheer from the public when we left the aircraft. That was the last time I saw our plane Dashing wave I herd she was destine for the desert floor to be chopped up. But yes the financial wows were to be blamed for mis management we could have saved our Queen of the skies Pan American World Airways.Thank you Trippe and the Management We are Gone but not forgotten. Thank you
Best wishes to all and former staff

Benn's return
By Luke Lapinski
According to Mike Heika,
Jamie Benn
should be
good to go for tonight's tilt with Columbus
and is likely to slot in on the top line with
Loui Eriksson
Jaromir Jagr
. That gives Dallas it's most dangerous weapon and a very skilled No. 1 line just in time to square off with a struggling Blue Jackets team.
The good news for
Dallas Stars
fans is that
Jamie Benn
is finally signed. The bad news -- temporary as it is -- is that
his debut could potentially get pushed back another game
because of visa issues. Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News explained the scenario this way:
"Benn is a resident of Canada and must apply for a work visa to work in the United States. Because he was not allowed to apply for the work visa until he had a signed contract, the application for that visa was not submitted until Friday. Because the government offices are not open on the weekend, the work visa still has not been granted."
This should all get resolved in a hurry, but timing is of the essence here -- especially with the condensed schedule. The Stars have games both tonight (in Columbus) and tomorrow (in Detroit), kicking off a pivotal stretch of 10 games in 19 days -- eight of which are on the road. The organization is confident the situation will be ironed out today and, even if there is a slight delay, it shouldn't be long at all. But the quicker this all gets resolved, the better. Dallas added some key vets in the offseason, but Benn is still clearly the main weapon in town. The team would obviously prefer to get him back into a normal routine with his teammates as soon as possible.

Weaboo-ize me 24: Pedigree Rivalry (NSFW)
June 24, 2012 in Weeaboo-ize me by Jubbz
Goddamn. I've missed a week of Weaboo-izing! (or was it 2? who knows…)
Anyway, before I get started on Weaboo-izing, I gotta talk more 'bout Devil Survivor 2. I decided to go for the Anguished One's route and complete it. I actually liked the Anguished One's path a whole lot. The ending just had the word "hope" written all over it. Too bad two people end up dying by the end… But on the other hand, I managed to beat Beelzebub! Got past him! Had to make sure that bastard's weakness changed to phys, so I can have Hinako and her demons Multi-strike it to death… And the damn bug hung on within the inch of it's life. So I had to use MC to finish it off with some Almighty attacks, because I wasn't gonna repeat the cycle again!
So I decided I'd follow Ronaldo's route in my 3rd playthrough, this time taking down Nebiros, Belial, and Alice this time! Heck, I even managed to kill Sage of Time and Lilith more easily. Lilith was a fucking bitch though since I couldn't harm those annoying horndogs… Had to give Airi Da Peng and let her take a crack at Lilith while I have Keita slowly close in on her while MC and Io distracted the horndogs. FUCK YEAH. Even though I complained about Lilith, Nebiros is WORSE. Don't even get me STARTED.
Anyway, Onto Weaboo-ize me!
Yeaaaaaaaah, at least this is more SFW than what I've been doing SO far…
Anyway, we already down to fucking Nadeshiko… aaaaaaaand we got a bit of Yuri service. MY GOD.

When I was a kid we found beautiful scallop shells at almost every south side beach on the Cape but especially at Kalmus and Dowse's Beaches. Due to over harvesting and the depletion of eelgrass beds the population of these tasty little scallops, also called bay scallops, crashed. It is slowly rebounding and once again I can find scenes like this one on my early morning walks….
Blue eyed scallops are bivalves, having two shells. Often their shells don't match which makes collecting different colored shells easy and fun. They only live about 2 years and grow to about 3″ max. Continue reading

Next-gen Chromebooks might sport Ivy Bridge processors
The Google Chrome OS made its debut with the notebook running on Intel Atom low power processors. The positive aspect of this is that they Acer AC700 and Samsung Series 5 Chromebooks get decent battery life but also analyzing the negative points, we find that they might be a little sluggish for computers and that they don't even actually run much software beside the obvious- web browser.
But now the sluggish performances could just be a thing of the past, with the AC700 and Series 5 available for purchase. Samsung has already shown off with its Chromebook equipped with a faster Intel Celeron processor. The launching of the Samsung Chromebook is just round the corner; there is enough proof to say that future Chromebooks could have Intel Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge processors.
There have been some recent code additions in the Chromium OS, which is the open source version of the Chrome OS, said a source at Phoronix. The code adds the Coreboot BIOS support for the chipsets which are widely used in Intel's current Sandy Bridge line of processors as well as the company's upcoming Ivy bridge platform.
Coreboot is the basic function which lets the open source boot environment to load the Operating System even quicker. The addition of Coreboot support by Google, for faster Intel chips means that we might not only see faster boot speeds, but even faster overall performance.
But this could even mean that Google is hedging its bet in case any PC makers decide to release Chromebooks with processors. This would not necessarily mean that there's any new hardware in the works for now, at least.
But a few evidences do stand supportive to the fact that Chromebooks with ARM-based processors are in the works. Developers all over the forums have been submitting Chromium OS bug reports from a couple of unannounced machines including the one with a Samsung Exynos processor. For now, the computer is code-named as "Daisy".

New, more powerful chips should make Chromebooks even more attractive to potential buyers. As more people adopt Chromebooks more will also want to use them to access their Windows applications, especially for work.One possible solution for this requirement is Ericom AccessNow, an HTML5 RDP client that enables tablet users to connect to any RDP host, including Terminal Server, physical desktops or VDI virtual desktops – and run their applications and desktops in a browser.Ericom's AccessNow does not require any client or other underlying technology to be installed on end-user devices – an HTML5 browser is all that is required.You can choose to run a full Windows desktop or just a specific Windows app, and that desktop or Windows app will appear within a browser tab.For more info, and to download a demo, visit:http://www.ericom.com/RDPChromebook.asp?URL_ID=708Note: I work for Ericom... | |

Northern red anemone
The northern red anemone or dahlia anemone, Urticina felina, is a marine invertebrate found in the north Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. Synonyms include Tealia crassicornis (Müller, 1776), Tealia felina (Linnaeus, 1761), and Urticina crassicornis (Müller, 1776). The colour is variable. The sea anemone lives attached to rock on the seabed from the lower tidal limit down to a depth of 100 m and also attached to other organisms. It eats small fish and crustaceans, immobilizing its prey by firing groups of stinging cells (cnidae) into them.
Contents |
The base is up to 120mm across and firmly adherent to the rock. Deep sea specimens are usually larger than inshore ones. The column is usually shorter than its diameter and its surface is covered in verrucae. There is a parapet at the top where the verrucae tend to be organised into rows. The verrucae usually have bits of gravel and debris attached to them and the contracted anemone has the appearance of a rounded hummock of gravel. The disc is not broader than the parapet and has up to 160 short tentacles arranged in multiples of ten. The colour is very variable; some individuals have a red column with green blotches, grey verrucae and greyish banded tentacles; others have a red column and disc with grey verrucae and white tentacles. The tentacles are often banded and in many individuals there are thin red lines on the disc visible between the tentacles.[2]
U felina is found in the Arctic Ocean, the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and the northern Atlantic Ocean as far south as the Bay of Biscay and the Gulf of Maine.[1]
U felina is found on rocks and boulders from the lower shore down to depths of 100 metres. It occurs in rock pools, in crevices and gullies, among the holdfasts of Laminaria spp., in caves and partly buried in gravel.[2]

Urticina crassicornis
Urticina crassicornis is a large and common intertidal and subtidal sea anemone formerly known as Tealia crassicornis and commonly referred to as the Christmas Anemone. Its habitat includes a large portion of global coastal areas and it lives a solitary life for up to 80 years of age.[1]
Contents |
Urticina crassicornis is biradially symmetrical and ranges from 2 - 12.7 cm tall with a width of 1 - 7.6 cm. This sea anemone has a solid basal plate which is always flat. Its column can be olive green with or without red spots; solid red; cream; or brown, always with small, inconspicuous tubercles but no acontia. Its tubercles are not white and do not usually accumulate bits of sand, gravel and shell. The tentacles, superior of the column and usually 100 in number, are green to opaque cream with red and white striations and semi-transparent when extended. The tentacles are conical, thick and blunt and arranged in 3 - 5 circular rings around the oral disc. The oral disc has no white striations and usually has the same color scheme as the tentacles.[1][2]
Geographical Range and Habitat
In the Pacific Ocean, Urticina crassicornis ranges from intertidal and subtidal zones of the Pribilof Islands, Alaska to Monterey, California. In the Atlantic Ocean, it is found in intertidal and subtidal zones ranging from the Arctic Ocean above Newfoundland, Canada to Cape Cod, Massachusetts and also along the coasts of Western Europe. In the state of Washington this sea anemone more commonly frequents the Puget Sound compared to the Pacific Ocean front. It is found in a lower intertidal, upper subtidal zone - 30 m deep, inhabiting well protected and shaded areas. Urticina crassicornis is a benthic and sessile organism, firmly attached only to hard substrata. This sea anemone is frequently found on docks, wood pilings, and under large rock outcroppings.[1]
A non-selective and opportunistic predator, Urticina crassicornis, may feed on crabs, sea urchins, mussels, gastropods, chitons, barnacles, fish, and sometimes sea stars and stranded jellies. A peculiar prey, the sun star, Pycnopodia helianthoides commonly known as the "Sunflower Star", is found in Washington state and has a size much greater than U. crassicornis, sometimes ranging up to 5 ft. in length.[3] This anemone exhibits both intracellular and extracellular digestion. Food is caught within the tentacles which then move the prey towards the oral disc.[2][4]
Predators, Parasites, and Protection
In the Pacific, certain species of both Asteroidea and Gastropoda are known predators of this anemone. Demasterias imbricata (Asteroidea) and Aeolidia papillosa (Gastropoda) are two notably frequent predator species. Urticina crassicornis senses predation through a simple nerve net spanning along its column and tentacle walls. For protection, U. crassicornis inverts its tentacles to the inside of its body column and projects nematocysts. Minimal locomotion is possible if the organism is sensing extreme danger. Some species of amphipods are parasites of U. crassicornis living within its body cavity for the benefits of housing and food. These species are not affected by the nematocysts of U. crassicornis, which has the ability to kill other species of crustacean.[5][6]
Urticina crassicornis produces by both asexual and sexual reproduction. In the Atlantic populations, eggs and sperm are held and fertilized within the body column. The young are brooded between the mesenteries of the body and are emitted as smallish, well developed, young anemones. Spawning occurs in the spring amongst Puget Sound populations, when eggs (yolky, 0.7 mm in diameter) and sperm are released into the sea for fertilization. Urticina crassicornis's major sperm chromosomal proteins have been found to be two specialized histone H1 proteins which indicate a strong relation to the chromosomal proteins of bird and amphibians.[7] After fertilization, a solid and ciliated blastula is created due to superficial cleavage. Six days following fertilization, a cone-shaped and benthic, larval planula develops. These planula then settle onto small rocks or the empty tubes of some annelid worms and rapidly develop into small anemones. 12 days after settlement, 8 tentacles appear. Further growth is slow – two months after settlement, 12 tentacles appear and the anemone is 0.88 mm in diameter; one year after settlement, the anemone has 35 tentacles and is 10 mm in diameter. Growth is proportional to food intake, not age. When starved, this anemone can stay alive for 9 months but does not grow. Urticina crassicornis is sexually mature with a diameter of 10 – 15 mm, being at least one year old.[1]

Urticina columbiana
Urticina columbiana, common names crusty red anemone, columbia sand anemone, sand anemone, and the sand-rose anemone,[1] is a species of sea anemone in the family Actiniidae.[2][3]
Contents |
This species can grow to 25 cm high and can reach a diameter of 1 metre, making it one of the largest species of anemone.[4] The tentacles are long and slender, taking the shape of a red column. The tubercles on the column are big and rough, having a white colour. They are organized in circular rows which protrude from the column. Unlike other species which may accumulate matter, the tubercles do not attach to ocean debris such as bits of shell. The column is red in colour.[3]
No special spherules are present around the external rim of the oral disk beyond the tentacles.[3]
Urticina columbiana species occurs in the Pacific Ocean from Vancouver Island to Baja California.[3]
This species is found between the subtidal zone to a depth of 45 metres. It normally lives among shells, in soft sand or mud. It is usually partially buried, with tubercles mostly under the sea floor.[3]
The candy stripe shrimp (Lebbeus grandimanus) is one of the symbionts of this species.[3]

Since the Baltimore Ravens beat the Indianapolis Colts in their wild-card playoff game, Ray Lewis will get at least one more chance to suit up and play. But Sunday was the last time Lewis will play at M&T Stadium in Baltimore, and the game ended with a sweet tribute to the longtime star of the Ravens' defense.
Lewis was given a loud ovation from fans in the stands as he came off the field with the defense. Chants of his name and "Thank you, Ray!" broke out. Then Ravens coach John Harbaugh gave him one more chance to take the field. When the Ravens' offense lined up in the victory formation for the final play of the game, Lewis was in the backfield.
He added his own dance when the game ended. In his final game at home, Lewis finished with nine tackles and four assists. Next, Lewis will take his farewell tour to Denver on Saturday.

You can eat downstairs in the beautiful old shop where there are counters with stools along the window or you can go upstairs to the pleasant dining room. Either place you get a limited selection of good pasta dishes, We ate there twice and were pleased each time.
They had some tables in their food shop, and it was great! Superb homemade pasta! Casual atmosphere.
A very nice and modern yet calm and relaxing setting for an italian dinner. We had some very tasty pasta dishes a long with a recommended Barolo wine and enjoyed it a lot. Having tried other pasta reataurants in Torino, this was the best. Fresh, tasty and elegantly served. The place to go for pasta in Torino.
in a beautiful area in down town turin....very nice,,,a lot of things to taste...fresh pasta was amaziong...just a bit expensive....we ate inside...while the waiter wantd absolutely to make us sit outside....i never understood why....anyway we had nice lunch...jus a bit expensive...but its my idea of..... jenny karl stoddard city n.a.
I love my food, but nothing beats eating freshly made Italian pasta ! If you're in Turin make it a point to eat at this restaurant, they seat about 30/40 people, they have plenty of room on 2 floors.
In the past when i came to turin, i used to buy fresh pasta from pastificio defilippis. Now they are also a restaurant. The quality of food is great. All the dishes that we had was amazing. Not only pasta, they also serve different kind of food.. The only problem that i saw was the woman who works at the... More
we and the neighbouring Iitalian) customers had to wait very long before we received our lunch. We had two differnt pastas that both tasted bland.
I was somewhat skeptical in choosing Pastificio Defilippis because of its contemporary decor, but the cooking was authentic and traditional. Lovely, romantic setting on a pedestrian street. We enjoyed our dinner very much, and the waitstaff was very hospitable. We asked for a recommendation for gelato, and were sent nearby for a fabulous treat.

It's coming back; a friend of mine built a 5,000 square foot on Lake Lanier of board and batten.
Know this old house well, owner Clancy Kitchens long gone , turpintine and timber laborer, cared dutifully for his invalid wife many years. He used to walk by our house most saturdays to Ludowici, Ga. a distance of over 3 miles returning late that evening to check on his wife. As kids we would meet him and walk a short distance with him unable to keep the unbelievable pace he kept and never stopped. This style house almost completely gone now and worse this type of character of humanity.

We are looking for stable, committed and dog experienced 'forever' homes for our rescue Staffords. Experience with the breed is preferred. If you've never been lucky enough to have a Stafford in your life we suggest you go and meet a few. Walk and talk with their owners. They are fantastic dogs and you will feel more confident in welcoming them into your heart and home.
In re-homing a Stafford your life will be enriched with both love and companionship. They are a wonderful and intelligent breed.
All rescue Staffords are desexed, microchipped and vaccinated prior to being re-homed.
Adoption process
Jan will acknowledge receipt of the form with a quick email. If you do not receive an email within 3 days of submitting your form please contact her again as it means she did not receive your request.
We ask people to fill out the adoption form because it ensures we match each dog to their perfect family.
If you are enquiring about a particular dog and don't hear from Jan after the initial email of acknowledgement, please don't be discouraged. It just means that the dog was more suited to someone else. In no way does it reflect your suitability as a forever home and we encourage you to contact Jan again every 3-4 weeks to show you are still interested in adopting. As we will already have your form on file it will fast track the process when a suitable dog does become available. It is also important to contact Jan if your circumstances have changed and the form needs amendment.
Please note: If you are interested in adopting a dog in the future, e.g. after holidays, please don't contact us now but wait until you are home again and are able to commit to the plan.
All general adoption queries should be asked using Facebook or email as Jan does not have time to answer general adoption queries with a phone call.

Striking drivers arrested in Gauteng
More than 45 truck drivers were arrested on Thursday as the national strike entered its fourth day, Gauteng traffic police said.
Several people have been injured in incidents countrywide since the protest action started on Monday.
"Charges include illegal marching... and public disturbance. It resulted in a serious accident that occurred an hour ago," said spokeswoman Chief Bufaphi Nxumalo.
"We are still going to continue arresting them, especially if they are disturbing the public and marching without permission."
About 20 of those arrested were taken into custody on the R21 in Ekurhuleni, east of Johannesburg.
About 20,000 workers in the road freight transport sector have been on strike over wages since Monday.
The R21 and R24 near OR Tambo International Airport were reopened to traffic early on Thursday afternoon after striking truck drivers forced its closure by throwing stones and burning trucks, metro police said.
"Motorists are advised to be extra careful," said Ekurhuleni metro police spokesman Inspector Kobeli Mokheseng.
He said police believed criminal elements had infiltrated the strike.
Four people have been reported injured due to violence by striking truck drivers.
Three people were injured near the R21 around 7am when strikers blocked the road and threw stones at trucks.
Ekurhuleni EMS spokesman Rogers Mamaila said a truck driver not on strike broke his leg following an accident caused by striking drivers on Thursday morning.
He said the truck was on Voortrekker Road, travelling away from OR Tambo International Airport around 8.45am when striking drivers began throwing stones and bricks at the truck.
In attempting to avoid them, the man overturned the truck, which caught fire.
"The... incidents of strikers is so spread out, we might not know about all incidents. I know private ambulances have been attending [to] others," said Mamaila.
SA Transport and Allied Workers Union (Satawu) spokesman Vincent Masoga said the union were still investigating reports of violence in Ekurhuleni.
In the Western Cape, strikers had gathered near Cape Town International Airport, but there had been no reports of violence.
"The strikers... near the airport are calm. There are no reports of violence or injuries," said Captain FC van Wyk.
Police were on hand to deal with the situation, he said.
Unions have reverted to a 12 percent pay demand after rejecting a lower offer tabled by employers on Tuesday.
The Road Freight Employers' Association (RFEA) had proposed a staggered increase of 8.5 percent effective from March, and a further 0.5 percent from September next year.
Masoga said Satawu sympathised with the public if shortages of goods were experienced as a result of the strike.
MC Langbrecht, chairman of the SA Petroleum Retailers Association, said there was no reason to panic regarding petrol supply.
"It is early days. We went through a similar situation last year and it took a lot longer. There is no reason to panic," he said.
"The contingency plans from the companies are in place, and updated, and focused on a daily basis."
Langbracht said from time-to-time, a specific station might not have supply, but overall the situation was under control.
On June 13, the Constitutional Court ruled Satawu was responsible for damages caused during a march by security guards in Cape Town, in May 2006.
A similar strike by road freight unions in February 2011 left at least 20 trucks damaged, 16 people injured and scores of arrests as non-striking truckers were beaten and their trucks looted and burned.
On May 25 2010, the Passenger Rail Agency of SA (Prasa) blamed striking Satawu train workers for the torching of four train coaches.
On April 14 2009, police fired rubber bullets at striking truck drivers who assaulted two men in Johannesburg.
On the same day, a group of strikers also stoned and looted a delivery van on the corners of Biccard and De Korte Streets in Braamfontein, Johannesburg.
On April 8 in the same year, a truck driver was seriously injured in Port Elizabeth when striking workers stoned and petrol-bombed his truck.
