Prep Baseball: McIntosh erupts late, downs Northgate
By CHRIS GOLTERMANN
Rallying back from an early seven-run deficit against unbeaten the McIntosh Chiefs to tie the game, the Northgate Vikings seemed poised for arguably its biggest Region 4-AAAAA baseball victory of the season.
But there was no return from the last one.
Following its last rally that broke a 8-8 tie, McIntosh has now scored at least nine runs in all eight of its victories so far this season.
With the win, head coach Brad Campbell's team improved to 6-0 in 4-AAAAA and avoided falling into a potential four-way tie atop the 4-AAAAA standings.
Northgate, meanwhile, dropped to 4-2 and is tied for fourth with Union Grove while holding a tiebreaker over the Wolverines following a win in McDonough this week.
The Vikings are now chasing not only the Chiefs, but a pair of one-loss teams in Mundy's Mill and Starr's Mill in the race for four state playoff berths in a competitive 11-team division.
Whitewater and Ola, each with 3-3 records, are next closest among those chasing the the top-five teams in the region with over a month left in the schedule.
"There's still a lot of games to play. I rather it be this way," said Campbell. "The kids have done a nice job. But we've got to be able to keep it going. Next week's a big week for us with Starr's Mill (4-1), Union Grove (4-2) and Ola (3-3)."

For the Vikings, now 7-4 overall, it was equally a tough defeat to swallow having rallied from being down 7-0 following Trey Walters' grand slam in the top of the second inning.
Northgate head coach Greg Hamilton — minus top pitcher Robert Massenburg, who was serving the latter of a two game suspension — watched his team chip away at the deficit as the Vikings got four runs back in the second and then two in both the fourth and fifth innings to eventually tie the game on RBIs from Jordan Schmits and designated hitter Jeffrey Ginn.
Ginn finished 3-for-3 with three doubles to different spots in the outfield, scoring twice while involved in all three Viking outbursts.
Chase Allen and outfielder Andrew Burden — hitting with Ginn in the bottom half of the order — each added two hits as the team's No. 5-9 hitters went 8-for-16 with six RBIs in the loss. James Poropatic had the other pair on his two-run homer in the fourth to pull Northgate back within an 8-6 deficit.
But despite the production and a solid effort in relief from Armond Upshaw, Northgate could never manage to give its pitching staff a lead.
"That's the thing. We come all the way back to tie it up and then have it go that way is tough," said Hamilton. "Give McIntosh credit. They beat us."
Four Vikings, including Upshaw, struggled to retire McIntosh as it batted around in the seventh.
In addition to getting six of its 13 hits in their final at bat, the Chiefs benefitted from a walk and a hit batsman as the senior lefthander — who suffered a cut on his lip while trying to hustle down a foul ball in the outfield in the first — seemed to finally tire out after throwing over 70 pitches.
Upshaw came on for starter Blake Whitney held McIntosh to a solo home-run by Noah Kiker over three plus innings before struggling to open the seventh. Whitney entered Friday with a 1.32 ERA over nearly 14 innings, but was tagged for six runs on six hits.
"I thought Armond did a great job coming in for us. He's only getting back pitching wise. He came in a little late from basketball season," Hamilton said of Upshaw, who was hit with the loss despite his solid outing. "I thought we played pretty good defense. [McIntosh] just seemed to find every hole out there."
It began with three runs on three hits in the first as Whitney allowed his first two batters to reach. Catcher Andrew Johnson plated two with a hit despite being thrown out at third.
Walters gave the Chiefs even more momentum in the second when he drove his first pitch toward the flagpole in deep center-field for a grand slam.
In all three of McIntosh's multiple-run rallies, the Chiefs first two hitters reached and scored while finishing with six extra-base hits.
Despite the offensive production among a baseball staff that includes assistant coach and one-time Atlanta Braves outfielder Terry Harper, Campbell has seen a spark come from other areas on the field.
"Our pitching," he said, matter-of-factly. "We've got a good group of guys and they're working hard out there right now."
Reliever Matt Gray earned the victory while allowing Northgate's final two runs in the fifth over four innings work. Despite giving up 10 hits, Gray and starter Cole Pipet allowed just one walk with Gray retiring his last seven hitters in order to close out the win.

A local woman contacted Ross County Sheriff's Deputies after she woke to find her 1-year-old was missing. According to Sheriff George Lavender, Skyla Eblin said she had been drinking with Holly Wheeler, of Waverly, at Eblin's Anderson Station Road home, early Monday, and fell asleep at 1:30am.
At around 5:30am, Eblin found her son and Wheeler were gone. Eblin reportedly told deputies she made contact with Wheeler, who told her that she and the child were stuck in a ditch on US 23.
Authorities found the child, Wheeler, and two of Wheeler's children in the vehicle in a ditch at the intersection of US 23 and Maple Lane near Massieville. According to the Sheriff, they had been in the ditch for four hours, and Wheeler hadn't tried to contact help.
Wheeler reportedly said she took Eblin's child with her because Eblin would not wake up when she was ready to leave.
Wheeler was arrested and charged with child endangering and interference with custody.
Authorities say additional charges are possible.

It was a simple incident in the life of James Clavella talk with his young daughter just home from schoolthat inspired this chilling tale of what could happen in twenty-five quietly devastating minutes. He writes, "The Children's Storycame into being that day. It was then that I really realized how vulnerable my child's mind was any mind, for that matterunder controlled circumstances. Normally I write and rewrite and re-rewrite, but this story came quicklyalmost by itself. Barely three words were changed. It pleases me greatly because I kept asking the questions... Questions like, What's the use of 'I pledge allegiance' without understanding? Like Why is it so easy to divert thoughts? Like What is freedom? and Why is so hard to explain? The Children's Storykeeps asking me all sorts of questions I cannot answer. Perhaps you canthen your child will...."

There is nothing worse than being alone in a relationship together. So many couples together through the decades find themselves living like lonely roommates longing for the intimacy like it was 'back when'. Painfully stuck. Don't give up hope you can change things until you see the new movie 'HOPE SPRINGS' starring Meryl Streep 63, and Tommy Lee Jones, 65.
They're calling 'Hope Springs' about a long married couple who've stopped having sex - a Comedy. Hmmm. Kinda painful to watch I imagine though, if you are in the theater eating popcorn seeing your life reflected on the screen.
It's amazing how two people can go through 31 years together as a couple and never really communicate their true feelings to each other. We all know the only difference between a marriage and having a roommate is - sex.
I agree the movie is 'heartfelt', brave, and yes funny in parts. A Hollywood first for sure.
The Washington Post has called it "a minor miracle of a movie".
"Within a Hollywood tradition accustomed to treating sex as something titillating, taboo, gauzily idealized or downright pornographic, finally someone has made a movie that treats it in the riskiest way possible: as the physical expression of intimacy between two flawed but recognizable adults."
Streep said she accepted the challenging role because the subject was "something no one wants to talk about".
If this subject matter reflects your life and you are at the 'brink', go ahead and see the movie.
Hope does Spring if you are willing to risk trying...if you're willing to risk talking about it.
Here's the whole movie review of Hope Springs on The Telegraph.
Delusionally Young & Yours,

Barter Stage II, Abingdon, Virginia Friday, March 08
(March 8 - May 12) In a cheap motel room, an embezzling mayor is supposed to meet with his female accountant, while two undercover cops in a room next door wait to catch the meeting on videotape. Confusion ensues as to who's who and who's done what and why the accountant keeps taking off her clothes. A wonderfully unpredictable story of real characters with real needs and fascinating foibles – and as reviewers across America agree, "Whip-smart . . . and unrelentingly funny" (The Boston Globe); "A bona fide gut-busting laugh-a-thon" (Chicago Daily Herald); "A laugh-till-you-weep comedy" (Fort Worth Telegram).
Emory & Henry students may attend this play at a discounted price of $16 upon showing their student ID. Students must present their ticket stubs to the CSA office to receive Lyceum credit.

text: SOME OF THE EQUATIONS RELATED TO SUPERSYMMETRY THEORY have been solved exactly by Edward Witten of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton and his colleague Nathan Seiberg of Rutgers. Supersymmetry theory seeks to incorporate all four known physical forces including gravity into a single mathematical framework. It does this by presuming a special relation between fermions (particles such as quarks with half-integral spin) and bosons (particles such as photons with an integer-valued spin). Although Witten's achievement addresses the subject of quark confinement---why the strong force operating between quarks actually increases as the quarks move apart---the chief beneficiaries of the new results will be mathematicians who work with multidimensional geometry. Harvard mathematician Clifford Taubes has said that Witten's work will speed up calculations and shorten proofs. (Science, 9 December 1994.)

Runyon Custom Spoiler Series Tenor Saxophone MouthpieceThe latest in state of the art technology for reed instrument mouthpieces, the spoiler is a Runyon innovation that allows the musician to change the performance qualities of the mouthpiece.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
As of late I have been on a quest to find a mouthpiece that will give me a full, warm, bright meaty sound with a little edge. My mission began when I went back (after 20 years) to a hard rubber Beechler mouthpiece on my alto and was absolutely thrilled with the quality of my sound. Until the switch, I was playing a metal mouthpiece just like I play on my tenor and soprano. And with all of the metal pieces I noticed they shared similar characteristics such as, a bit pitchy, a little thin and with more edge than I really cared for. Plus all of my metal mouthpieces cost hundreds of dollars more than the simple hard rubber mouthpiece that gave me the sound that I have been seeking for so many years. I figured that since the hard rubber Beechler worked on my alto then I would have the same fantastic results using a hard rubber Beechler on my tenor. Well, I was wrong. I knew what I wanted and I knew that a mouthpiece had to be out there that could give me the same results I had with my alto. After much research and speaking with James, the saxophone specialist at wwbw, we quickly narrowed it down to a few hard rubber mouthpieces that just might be the ticket. What I really think was great about James was that he was not trying to sell me the most expensive mouthpiece, but rather the one that he felt truly met my needs. I ended up choosing the Runyon Custom Spoiler Tenor saxophone mouthpiece. I was hesitant based upon the price alone. I figured how good can it be if it only cost $75? I mean this $75 synthetic mouthpiece is going to sound better and replace my $350 metal mouthpiece? Come on!! Well after James backed up his recommedation with facts, customer feedback and his own personal and professional opinions, I figured why not try it? If I did not like it, wwbw takes it back without any hassle. They guarantee the lowest price and if I found it elsewhere any cheaper, they have no problem making the adjustment. Plus, wwbw had/has a promotion going on in which if I bought this mouthpiece, I got a free gift, an Oleg Olegature ligature worth $79. That's right, I got a ligature that cost more than the mouthpiece...for free! Better yet, I was told it would take about a week to get to me. It only took two days!! After blowing the first note I knew that this mouthpiece was a keeper. What a wonderful sound!! In tune, wonderful undertones and just the right amount of edge. I have NEVER played a mouthpiece in which the altissimo came so freely, cleary and in tune. From a whisper to a scream, just a wonderful, wonderful mouthpiece!! This $75 mouthpiece just replaced my $350 metal. I am so thrilled with this purchase! I found my sound and it all hinged on this inexpensive yet priceless mouthpiece. The other reviews of this mouthpiece greatly influenced me in my purchase as well especially when considering the experience level of the other saxophonists. All three reviews were from clearly experienced players praising Santy Runyon's mouthpiece. And they could not have been more on target! Add my name to the list of believers in this wonderful mouthpiece. The ligature that it comes with is pretty cheap so you might want to get a better one. But if you buy now, you get the Oleg Olegature ligature for free!! Truly one of the best purchases I have ever made and the professionals at wwbw could not have been any more helpful. Another great experience with wwbw!
I've heard of Runyon pieces for years and tried many other pieces, but I've never tried Runyon. I saw some of the cool colors of the Custom Acrylic/Rubber. I decided to give it a try. Besides, I wouldn't be losing much money if it didn't pan out. I have to say that the Custom Series is to date, the best mouthpeice I've ever played on. This piece projects with or without the insert. I use a #12 (the widest opening they make) and a Rico plastic coated. On live gigs, I have to back away from the mike. This mouthpiece is great for low sesitive ballads too. There is lots of control from very loud to very soft. You can easily spend 4 times as much money on the others, but why? Runyon is the best kept secret in the industry. Take it from someone who has used very expensive pieces and that doesn't do half a good a job in performance like my Runyon Custom.
WOW! I thought my BARI 8* metal was powerful - this Runyon hard rubber (9) blows it away. The altissimo is loud and easy to hit. The bottom is full and clear. I can play Coltrane, Getz, Menza, Pickett, etc. This ease of expression. I may just go back to hard rubber after using this mouthpiece. Unbelievable sound on my Conn 10M and it makes my Marcus Martini sound like my Yanigasawa 991B.
when i played on this mouthpiece with the spoiler in it was great and bright for a lead tenor, combo, or soloist. Also when i played with it out it sounded like it would fit in a jazz sax section or could be an awesome lead tenor. But in order to get these mouthpieces to work you need to push lots of air a.k.a. air support but that is with every jazz mouthpiece for all saxophones. So in the long run it can get you far for a cheaper jazz mouthpiece.
For my alto and my tenor I have Runyon Custom Spoilers among the mouthpieces I use. They give you a wonderful tone. They can sound bright, dark or in-between. They are amazing for the price and amazing- period. One of the mouthpieces for my soprano is a Jody Jazz composite (which plays great). They are souped-up versions of Runyons with spoilers.

This also applies to the superbowl commercials. Whatever the market allows is what the network can charge. And as far as Hardee's commercial, if it didn't sell, they wouldn't use it. Again, capitalism at its best. Are you sure this is the fault of the current administration? Or is this simply what the capitalist market has lead us to? I guess you could blame anything you wish, but those of us who see the world as it is are not fooled by your silly attempt to blame the woes of the world on the President now. You need to have a real soul searching session, in my humble opinion.

Can Your Relationship Survive ADHD?
Reader Comments
I knew I had issues with focusing but this sounds exactly like me and my relationship. I just don't want to be drugged up for people to get along with me. I have seen the side effects of the meds and I rather not take them.
I raised an ADD child with no medicine, no support groups and found that labeling was an exceptional poor remedy. My son was called retard all the time and he now won't even discuss the public school he attended before we had to enroll him in a private school. He mowed the lawn, shoveled snow and cleaned the house because at that point, he knew I needed help. There wasn't much spontanaityhe would store it in his brain and retaliate at a later time. If he didn't want to it, he had to be persuaded but he knew exactly what he was doing. Both my other son and myself kept telling ourselves that we might overwhelm him.
Instead of support groups for the adults, the parents should take charge by tutoring, special classes, info from a psychologist on his progress, enroll him in different activities. My son chose acting and in no time he was memorizing lines for plays, dance shows, small part in America's Most Wanted. Also, a newscaster for a kid's news show, acting school, and auditioning for several parts. Poor behavior after that resulted mostly from the fact that he just didn't want to do whatever it was. But he did graduate from college and was on the Dean's list for the last two years. I believe it can be overcome. He still has a math disability but does have a wife that encourages the do it now attitude.
Thank You so much for this info. I have lived with this for 55 years and never understood why I was like I was.
Thanks for this piece. And thank all of you posters for the links. I've put them in my favorites! I appreciate you wanting to help others in the same situation. That's how we ADDers often are :-)
I've been diagnosed with ADHD by a top executive MD and I completely relate to the scenario. Its easier said than done. I constantly forget to close cabinets, or do a chore etc. I feel like I'm being berated, criticized, etc. I cant remember three things in a row, so the third item goes out the window instantly. Despite this, I function at a very high level. Without a blackberry my life would fall apart. This is a great article.
@ Beth Boyle: How is having labels dehumanizing? On the contrary it was once I realized that I had ADHD that I was able to deal with it and get help for it. I was also able to explain to other people why I act the way I do sometimes.
The only thing dehumanizing is when people who don't suffer from ADHD make blanket statements about it and think it's something we should be able to get over with will power alone.
I found www.addconsults.com a great place for tips, coaches and information. I don't mind the labels. This condition is a fact of life and categorizing can help it get some attention.
I find these labels more and more disturbing. ADHD, OCD all of them. Can't we quit being backwards like the Victorians and just treat people as people and stop with these pseudoscientific terms. People are individuals and these labels are dehumanizing.
A study, published in the August 25 Journal of the American Medical Association, was performed by researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital. They used cognitive training to greatly help ADHD adults. Cognitive and behavioral interventions seem to work great for adults.
With my wife fed up with me, I used Play Attention (www.playattention.com) and hired a life coach. The Play Attention system teaches cognitive skills and organization. I've been very successful using these approaches. I think my wife is going to keep me!
The site http://www.adhdmarriage.com is a comprehensive resource for learning about the impacts of ADHD on relationships and marriage and more importantly, how to effectively and address them in an empathetic manner. A great place to start is with the post http://www.adhdmarriage.com/content/six-signs-adhd-may-be-part-your-marriage.

In reply to Going from ok to depressed in the span of a day?, posted by tryingtobewise on February 11, 2005, at 0:35:41
I think it's very possible. My own depressive feelings tend to come and go at will, and I definitely have my good days and parts of days and my bad days and parts of days. The one advantage to being this variable is that when I do get pretty depressed, I generally know it's not going to last forever.
I was on a mood stabilizer once, to no particular effect. My mood swings aren't dramatic - I'm either ok or worse - no giddy highs, but it is pretty bizarre the way I can suddenly start obsessing about suicide in the middle of an otherwise ok day.

Political parties are listed for electionThursday 02 August 2012 The electoral council on Thursday published the rankings for the 22 parties that are taking part in the election on September 12. The ten main parties in the current parliament are listed in order of their number of seats, starting with the right-wing liberal VVD at number one and ending with the animal rights party PvdD at number ten. New parties, such as the Pirates party, 50Plus and the Anti-Europe party were allocated their place by lottery. Does where a party comes on the list affect your choice? Let us know on the comment form below. © DutchNews.nl Readers' Comments Does where a party comes on the list affect your choice? in my case definitively not. I did not even realize this was an issue of debate. By 3 August 2012 11:28 AM |HI, I guess such a popularity rating would matter if you had a small IQ and didn't hold a strong view on just about anything. Otherwise, people will vote on the party whose views closely match their own.... won't they? A link to the runners would have been nice (I have mentally listed only 8 of the parties).

I Was A King: Old Friends
Old Friends is a record of excitement, managing a tension between control and chaos, harmony and discord, old and new; a tension that is always teetering, but never stumbling. There is also a comfortableness to the music?the same kind of comfort you feel when you?re with people you?ve known for a very long time; the comfort to risk, to stretch, to laugh. Old Friends is very special music. It is music not unlike the phenomenon of friendship itself: a sublime oddity.

LauncherPro Beta v0.2.0 Released!
Alright, so I've been working all day on LauncherPro, fixing bugs and adding features. It's late and I'm tired, but didn't want to go to bed before publishing the update, so please bear with me.
What's new in 0.2.0:
- Fixed missing highlights when navigating app drawer with trackball/dpad.
- Fixed bug where some widgets would sometimes get dragged when doing a pinch gesture.
- Fixed force close problems when pressing a shortcut on some devices. (Haven't been able to test this since I can't reproduce the bug, but it should work)
- New: Added a button on the app drawer to go back to the home screens.
- New: Added options for 4 and 6 home screens. Now you can choose anywhere from 3 to 7 screens.
- New: Option to auto-rotate the launcher to landscape mode when the device is rotated.
- New: Option to have the Home key on your device take you to your default home screen instead of showing the previews. If you're already on the default screen, it will bring up the previews.
That's it for now. I think I came up with a pretty nice way to handle the shortcut dock customization. If there are no big bugs in the current release I should be able to start working on it tomorrow, though it probably won't be ready until next week (going to New Zealand for the weekend).
Thanks again for all the comments, suggestions, and bug reports. Keep 'em coming!
PS: I've been swamped with emails about LauncherPro in the past two days and haven't had time to reply to most of them yet. Please bear with me and know that your emails aren't being ignored.

Hello. I just installed LauncherPro beta to my new Samsung Moment, yesterday. I made my own 7 screen wallpaper more than a week ago, in anticipation of using it once I updated to the 2.1 firmware and installed LauncherPro. The problem is…..that my 640×480 jpeg won't upload as a wallpaper. I don't understand. Why not? When I used the stock homepage when my phone was at 1.5, I was able to upload a 3 screen version of my custom wallpaper with no problem. The excitement over getting your app and increasing my homepage to 7 screens, is the only reason why I did the update and now I'm completely disappointed. Is there something that I'm doing wrong or is your app just not capable of posting a user's photos, although the option is given? I randomly tried other photos of mine and none of them would replace the homepage screens. I'm really baffled. Please help. Thank You.

Click For Jackpot
Date: 12/10/2013
PHOENIX (Dec. 7, 2012) – The Arizona Lottery hosted a press conference today, Dec. 7, 2012, to announce the Arizona Powerball jackpot winning ticket being claimed by an Arizona resident.
The $587.5 million jackpot is the largest in Powerball history, with a cash option of $384.7 million, before taxes. The Arizona winner will share the record-breaking Powerball jackpot with the jackpot winners from Missouri, Mark and Cindy Hill. He elected to take the cash option and will receive a lump sum of $192 million, before taxes.
The winner is married, in his thirties and resides in Fountain Hills, Arizona, the town where the winning ticket was purchased. He and his wife are originally from Pennsylvania and relocated to Arizona last year. He used to play Powerball all the time, but has only played twice since living in Arizona.
The day of the draw, the winner went to 4 Sons Food Store and asked for $10 in Powerball Quick Pick tickets and handed the clerk a $20 bill. The clerk asked if he would like the full $20 in tickets instead, to which the winner replied "no." After leaving the store, the winner placed the ticket in his car visor and left it there overnight. The next morning, when he heard there was a winner from Arizona, he checked the winning numbers on ArizonaLottery.com and couldn't believe his eyes.
The winner immediately pulled together a legal and financial team to advise him and outlined a day-by-day plan. When the winner claimed his ticket today, he indicated that he and his family are creating a solid financial plan for the future, which will include setting up a charitable organization to benefit the causes they believe in.
The winner decided to decline publicity, but issued the following statement:
"It is difficult to express just how thankful we are for this wonderful gift. We are extremely grateful and feel fortunate to now have an increased ability to support our charities and causes. Obviously, this has been incredibly overwhelming and we have always cherished our privacy. Therefore, we ask that inquiries be directed only to our law firm, Rhoads & Sinon LLP at 717-237-6765 or at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you."
"It has been an extremely busy and exciting week for the Arizona Lottery," said Karen Bach, director of budget, products and communications for the Arizona Lottery. "It was a thrill to meet with the Arizona Powerball jackpot winner this morning, and after all the speculation, we are very pleased the winner is an Arizona resident."
The winning Arizona Powerball jackpot ticket was purchased at the 4 Sons Food Store in Fountain Hills located at 13779 N. Fountain Hills Blvd. The store will receive a check for $25,000, the established retailer incentive for selling a winning Powerball jackpot ticket in Arizona.
Fast $25's – This $1 ticket offers a top prize of $1,000.
Lucky New Year – This $2 ticket offers a top prize of $10,000.
Slingo Trio® – This $5 ticket offers a top prize of $50,000.

Glen Van Wagoner, a winter resident of Mesquite, is not a regular Lottery player, but when he finally decided to purchase some Powerball tickets, it was the right time and the right place. He and his wife drove up to Beaver Dam Lodge, and he said, "Let's buy some Lottery tickets. It'll give us something to play during the month." He ended up buying two multi-draw Quick Picks on Powerball. He then put them in his briefcase and forgot about them. That briefcase went to Utah and Texas, was left in hotel rooms, the back seat of a rental car, etc. Glen said, "I was very lucky."
Back in Utah, he decided to check the local Mesquite news online, and that's where he read about a $1,000,000 Powerball ticket that was still unclaimed. He knew it couldn't be his, but it jogged his memory. Glen remembered the Powerball tickets he'd purchased and got them out of the briefcase to check. He saw that his numbers for the September 15, 2012, draw matched the winning numbers, but had no idea what he'd won until he did a little more checking. He said, "My heart was jumping all over the place." It took him a few more minutes to convince his wife that he wasn't seeing things. Because he'd forgotten about the tickets, he didn't redeem his $1,000,000 Powerball until October 10, 2012, almost one month later.
The couple plan to pay off some bills and invest the rest for retirement. Glen said, "It's been so much fun, I'm ready to do it again." The winning ticket was purchased from Beaver Dam Lodge located at 452 Old Highway 91 North, Beaver Dam.


text: Cyna Rodriguez and Jayvie Agojo escaped with a pair of 1-up victories over their respective rivals to advance to the second round of the US Women's Amateur Match Play but Dottie Ardina fell by the wayside at The Country Club in Cleveland, Ohio Wednesday. Rodriguez, the former Philippine Ladies Amateur Open champion, actually looked headed for a rout after going 5-up after 11 holes on two birdies and two pars. But the US-based ICTSI golf scholar floundered, enabling Ani Gulugian of California to close within one with a par and three straight birdies from No. 12. But Rodriguez, ranked No. 16 after the 36-hole stroke play elims, held on and matched Gulugian's pars in the last two holes to eke out a 1-up victory and arrange a Last 32 duel with No. 17 Nicole Zhang of Canada, who routed Jaclyn Jansen of Illinois, 6&5. Agojo also took command of her matchup with Emily Childs of California, posting a 2-up lead after No. 9. But like Rodriguez, she wavered at the back, needing to sink a delicate five-foot par putt on the 18th to snatch the win as Childs holed out with a bogey. The reigning Hong Kong Amateur Open champion, however, will have her hands full in the second round of the knockout stage as she faces No. 8 Natalie Gleadall, also of Canada, who beat Grace Na of California, 2&1. But while Rodriguez and Agojo pulled through, Ardina never recovered from bogeys on Nos. 5, 7 and 9 as she fell from as many as four holes down to Austin Ernst of South Carolina, who went on to fashion out a 4&3 romp. Low medalist Kim Hyo-joo of Korea played true to form and disposed of Megan Kang, 7&6, while No. 2 Lydia Ko of New Zealand and No. 3 Ariya Jutanugarn of Thailand rolled on with 4&3 and 3&1 victories over Amy Simanton and Jennifer Yang, respectively.

Hi my name is Adel and i'm not a recoverd Software Developer.
Today's tip is a quick look at both not widely used C# operators and why prefer one to another..
Casting using is-operator:
if(p is Product) // CLR?: Could i cast this to product?
Product x = (Product)p; // CLR again??: Could i cast this to Product?
This work but comes with performance cost so you better use the as-operator as follows:
Casting using as-operator:
Product x = p as Product; // CLR?: Could i cast this to product?
// your logic here..
Here the CLR checks for type compatibility only one time and as-operator never throw an exception only the result will be null if it's not type compatible.
You've been kicked (a good thing) - Trackback from DotNetKicks.com
Is vs. As Performance
make sense -:)
Cheap payday loan.
This is not necessarily true. In reality there may be a low chance that p is of type Product, in which case using "is", is actually slightly faster. We're talking about billionths of seconds here, so it only matters for really big loops.

How do states which allow collective bargaining for unions compare, academically, against those that don't? Let's first look at HS graduation rates:
Grad Rates- The red arrow points to Wisconsin, where collective bargaining rights are in jeopardy under the current governor. WI had a 88.5% grad rate in 2007-8, second only to Vermont (where Vermont-NEA is the state's largest union*).
The blue arrows point to GA,NC,SC,TX, and VA: states that ban collective bargaining for their teachers (and other public employees).They rank among the lowest in HS grad rates.
Maybe unionized teachers can graduate students, but what about their student's performance? For this one, let's actually use the so-called "reformers" narrow criteria: high stakes exams. Here are the ACT/SAT scores by state:
ACT Scores- In red, again, is Wisconsin, which scores among the top (all-unionized) players like Washington, New York, and Connecticut. And, in blue, again, the non-unionized states. Their national rank in ACT scores: 50th, 49th, 48th, 47th and 44th!
What about internationally? To see that countries with highly-unionized workforces provide better education to their students, just look at the 2006 PISA results, the international comparison of students in reading, science, mathematics etc. that is so often used to make Americans despair on their international performance:
Finland, second only to Korea in 2006, where a 2004 survey revealed that 89% of Fins believed union membership of a trade union organization is important**. (An even higher percentage of teachers than that are unionized in the country.) Similar statistics rein in Belgium and Canada, where the Canadian Teacher Federation represents over 200,000 canadian teachers.
So while we may be needing to cut corners and trim budgets, those reformers interested in increasing student performance may want to be careful about advocating against collective bargaining agreements for teachers.

Outstanding in every way

The Signature at MGM Grand is the nicest place I have ever stayed on a vacation. The room we stayed in was a one bedroom suite located on a corner of the hotel on the 37th floor. We had mountains out one side and the Strip out the other. The room was exactly as pictured on the hotel's website, it was just beautiful. As non-smokers having a non-smoking hotel option was one of our highest priorities and I never smelled one whiff of cigarette smoke in the hotel or even on the grounds. I've read people on here complaining about the walking distance being too far, but I don't get what they're going on about. Quite frankly with the moving walkways connecting us to MGM Grand, it took us less than five minutes to get to the MGM Grand Pool Complex. I think it was more convenient for us staying at the Signature to access the amenities at the MGM Grand than it was for folks who were actually staying over there. I know the pool was closer for us and we didn't have to traipse through the casino in our bathing suits to get there! Our room was cleaned spotlessly every day that we were there and in a timely fashion. The concierge service was quite helpful, the valet parking was efficient and had our car ready every time we needed it, and we never experienced any problems with noise. We like to go to bed early and sometimes that doesn't always work out in hotels filled with loud, obnoxious people, but the rooms were well insulated against sound and we never heard a thing after we closed the door. The only minor negative thing, very minor, was the complimentary buffet vouchers ($40 a day) could only be used at the buffet and we really didn't want to eat there every day, so that was sort of a waste and I would rather have had something else complimentary that we would actually have used (i.e. vouchers for other restaurants, perhaps discounts on a show, etc.). I highly recommend this hotel to anyone going to Las Vegas. It was simply a marvelous experience from start to finish.
Made us feel like Big Shots

Can't say enough good things about our stay. Arrived late at night to for check in and were greeted by cheerfull, happy people that could not do enough for us. The rest of the stay went the same. Stayed for 10 days and enjoyed our stay every day of it. I wish the rest of Vegas was like the Signature. Would and WILL stay here again!!!
Classy Signature

I recently stayed at the Signature for 6 days and truly had a wonderful experience. I stayed on the 30th floor of Tower 3 facing the Las Vegas Strip. From the moment I entered the building I was greeted by great service. The check-in was quick, simple, and comfortable. It was a quick elevator ride to the 30th floor which so happens to be one of the Penthouse Floors. Upon entering the room I was immediately impressed! The room was Extremely clean, well appointed, and spacious. The balcony was a nice touch to a Las Vegas room. The kitchenette provided me with everything from dining plates, coffee cups, silverware, a skillet, blender, toaster, coffee maker, measuring cups, measuring spoons, wine bottle opener, potholder. Everything one needed! The bathroom was the icing on the cake. It was very spacious, modern and extremely well kept. There was a large jacuzzi for two people. An extremely large glass shower, double vanity with hairdryer, cotton balls, q-tips, lotion, hair conditioner & shampoo that was of great quality. The only down side was that there was no oven if one was needed and that Tower 3 was a lengthy walk from MGM Grand. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the 10 minute walk! If you're looking for a quiet and classy place to stay I would HIGHLY recommend The Signature at MGM Grand. You cannot go wrong!
New, Modern, Smoke-free Value!

We had so much fun! Pool: We never made it to the MGM Grand's Wet Republic, but we saw lots of younger people headed there, it looked like club-going in the day time with bikinis. We stayed at the Signature's pool and we were able to get good seats as late as noon, which was nice because we slept in. Our pool was more than adequate for us, drink service was good (mix drinks seemed a little weak), but expensive. The Signature normally has three pools; one for each tower, but one was closed. It was a relaxed vibe. Not too busy or wild. Staff/Service: Not good or bad. Perfunctory. Check in was fine for me and my husband, not too long or rude. But my sister and her husband had a rude person during check in at their tower. We had an issue in our room with our remote and they sent a friendly, helpful maintenance guy very promptly. Room service personnel were great. Pool waitresses were good. Room: We absolutely LOVED our suite at the Signature. It was a junior suite, but it had a full kitchen (microwave, refrigerator (no freezer), two burner stove top, coffee maker, blender and all necessary dishes, utensils, wine opener, etc), a huge bathroom (with a two person jacuzzi tub, huge glass shower, double sink vanity, separate toilet area), a sitting area and a balcony overlooking the strip. Not all rooms have a balcony, we asked for a room with a balcony and strip view and they hooked us up. Amenities: The Signature was built in 2006, so everything is still modern and in good shape (and never smoked in, so it smelled great.) The Signature only has a Starbucks, a deli and two very nice fitness centers spread through out the three towers. So we would just take a short walk to the MGM through an enclosed path to eat, access the casino and access the strip. Room service was also really good, but expensive of course. Things to do: They have two really good premium outlet malls off the strip that you should hit if you're up for good shopping. We hit them both and spent way too much money. The North center is outdoors and maybe a little higher end. The South center seems a little bigger, its mostly indoors, with the higher end stores in the front on the outside. Both were great. Buffet at Bellagio was great. Summary: Would totally recommend this hotel. I love that it is smoke-free, all clean, totally modern suites, and full access to the MGM's many amenities. The down sides are cost; it is a little pricier than other hotels, but I think totally worth it. It is just pretty expensive to eat in Vegas, if you are only eating in the hotels. With access to a full kitchen you could head south on the strip to Whole Foods and eat healthy and organic for cheaper than at the restaurants for the majority of your meals. We stayed Monday-Friday and there were no shows we were interested in seeing. It starts really heating up in Vegas starting Thursday. If you want more of a busy, party atmosphere, with better show options, you should stay Thurs-Sunday.
Love this Place!!!

This is was our 2nd time staying at the Signature and it was fantastic. Although we arrived prior to the check in time, the front desk agent who assisted us was kind enough to check us in early so I could feed my 11 week old son. Service is just outstanding. Whenever we requested anything from the front desk it was taken care of promptly (ie crib request). The 1 bedroom suites are big and spacious, always clean. I am looking forward to staying here again!

Track bike rentals are now free
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Heard about this and saw this change on their website today
There has been some confusion about the availability and rates for using our track bicycles. As such, and to make it easier for everyone to get involved, we have eliminated all rental fees for track bicycles for the forseeable future. While this may change somewhere down the road, if you're new to track riding, now is the time to experience it!. Please note that all bicycles are provided on a first-come, first-served basis so be sure to arrive for your sessions early...Give us a call or come on in and reserve your spot in our Riding Classes today!
Given this news, if you get the chance ride the white Fuji's over the grey ones... huge difference!
Taxonomy upgrade extras:
Submitted by David on
I was under the impression that the bike rental was part of the fee. Are they talking about the nicer bikes?
I believe they are just verifying

My Profile
Cheryl Wheeler
Known for her comic as well emotionally intense songs, folk singer/songwriter Cheryl Wheeler was raised in Timonium, Maryland, and began playing the guitar and ukulele as a child. She first performed professionally at a local restaurant, but soon graduated to clubs in the Baltimore and Washington, D.C., areas. In 1976, she moved to Rhode Island, where she became a protégé of country-folk singer/songwriter Jonathan Edwards, for whom she initially served as bass player. Her first recording, a four-song EP called Newport Songs, was released in 1983. Edwards produced her first full-length album, Cheryl Wheeler, released on North Star Records in 1986. One of the songs on the album, "Addicted," was covered by Dan Seals and became a number one country hit in September 1988. North Star licensed her second album, Half a Book (1988), to the short-lived Cypress imprint of A&M Records. She then signed to the Nashville division of Capitol Records and released Circles & Arrows in 1990; Suzy Bogguss' cover of "Aces" from that album was a Top Ten country hit in 1992. (Subsequently, her songs were covered by Bette Midler, Juice Newton, Maura O'Connell, Linda Thompson, and others.) In 1993, Wheeler moved to the Philo imprint of the independent Rounder label for her fourth album, Driving Home (Rounder reissued Circles & Arrows in 1994). She followed it with Mrs. Pinocci's Guitar (1995) and Sylvia Hotel (1999). ~ William Ruhlmann & Jason Ankeny, Rovi

It is rare to find an artist whose music, always, always touches me. I smile, laugh and cry--think of things I haven't thought of in an while, transporting me to another place. Her music is art.
If I recall correctly, her song, Arrow, on her Circles and Arrows album, won some Listener's Choice award as the Best Folk Song of the Decade (or something like that). Listen to it and you will see why.
Cheryl Wheeler is wonderful, one of those special people who truly exemplify the folk spirit.

Saw Cheryl at the Avalon Theatre in Eston, MD. Unknowingly sat at a table next to her father. She sang him 75 Septambers on - fantastic. He has since passed on to another dimension. Hoping to see Susan Werner at the Avalon this June - another amazing artist.

Potato live isn't on Sylvia Hotel.....
Is she aware of Stephen Lynch? In one of her songs called 'Please Do Something Stupid' she mentions she won't marry a man named Steve.

Cheryl Wheeler is the best songwriter in this country since Bob Dylan. Unlike many artists writing today, she creates songs about all kinds of things, not just about love and lost love, though her songs about such things are just amazing and moving, but also about such things as coming home, fall in New England, one's heritage and all kinds of important things.
I had the pleasure of seeing her in person Saturday night at Johnathons in Ogunquit Maine, a great show!
I absolutely love Cheryl Wheeler! Saw her at Big Tog last summer! She rocks!

There would be 20 people listening. What the world missed.... we remember.

Defying Gravity is a great album. I love Cheryl Wheeler!
Am excited to go to my first Cheryl Wheeler show this Friday. Love her voice and humor, can't wait to see her live!
I've adored Cheryl Wheeler since the mid-80's, but I've never been able to find anything other than "Circles and Arrows;" I almost cried the other night when I recognized her voice. Thanks Pandora!
Fell in love with Cheryl Wheeler when I purchased the CD Sylvia Hotel. Love her humor, great emotional lyrics, lovely pitch and range that matches mine!
I agree w/ Lynn - need more than 3 albums to choose from. OTOH, Sylvia Hotel is one of the better ones. Cheryl is great at "painting a picture" with her lyrics - and she is !absolutely! hysterical in concert - sometimes more story than song, but worth the price of admission anyway.
Wow. New to me. Amazing. Thanks, Pandora!
One of my absolute favorite artists. No matter what kind of Pandora station I set up, Cheryl appears.:)
Wow, how have I never heard any of her songs before? She popped up on my They Might Be Giants station and I was quite pleased. Lets see more of this, yes? Good stuff.
Ditto--Pando r a , please update your bio and your discography. She is an amazing artist.
Cheryl is truly amazing!!! I've been a fan for more than 20 years. Last time i saw her was at Passim in Cambridge. I laughed so hard I thought my head was gonna pop!!! Disappointed to see that Pandora only has three of her discs available for listening!!!
Cheryl...I was responsible for presenting you many times in the late 80's and early 90's in New England but we never met. Don't recall why. During one performance I had you playing with David Wilcox (sorry about that) and the power went out. You were the best. You just kept singing and we all had a blast. Thank you for the laughter and who else can sing a whole song about a potato? Only you. Or GUNS... I wish we could drink a case together sometime...
There are no similar artists. The girl is one of a kind. A treasure. Have seen her live and hung on her every funny word and swooned over her voice and melodies.
Cheryl gives an amazing live show--great music, beautiful voice, and she's so funny you think you're at a comedy club. I've seen her at the Birchmere many times over two decades and she never disappoints!
I have been to two of her concerts at the Birchmere. It is a wonderfully entertaining evening. I love her music and her lyrics are incredible. She's warm and funny and you should go if you have a chance!
I remember the first time I saw her I sent into labor. I had my son several hours later after getting rushed back home from her concert. Phew...that was 22 year ago. I'll never forget it. I still love her. k
Just saw her in Michigan at Wheatland Music Festival and she was fabulous! Hope you get to see her at some point.
unfortunatel y no... I went to her website and she is touring a lot but nowhere in Ohio. I may go see her in Alexandria VA in October

Honestly Stan, I think they've been drooping for a long time.
The Wonderbra ads which get awarded at cannes (unmatched shoes, stand behind a different line when catching a train etc.) I believe have a very poor appreciation of what makes a woman buy sexy underwear.
I'm pretty sure the frat boy 'chuckle chuckle now you got big boobies' attitude prevalent in pretty much every execution I've seen in award shows is not going to make your average woman feel sexy, nor drive them to cash registers which is the goal of advertising after all.
The Eva Hertzigorova ads essentially did say they would enhance your bustline, but they did it with CLASS, elegance and a wry sense of humour, which is what has elevated them so far above the also-rans. Well, that's in my humble opinion anyway.
I certainly wouldn't have given them as many gongs. ;-) - xgeronimo said...

You're welcome. Mallory, It's made of an elastic material that reminds me of support stockings but thicker. If that makes sense… When I wear them to decorate I always wear vinyl gloves over them, otherwise they will get dirty quickly. I always keep extras on hand. My hands tend to sweat when I wear the vinyl gloves over them, so this way I can change them. They are washable…I just wash them in the sink with Dawn dish soap and hang them up to dry. -- Kathy, Ohio, http://www.CakesOnTheLane.com |
