Georgia state law stating that bicyclists May Use Full Lane when lane widths are not wide enough for motorists to safely pass cyclists and stay completely within the travel lane. (now all I have to do is convince GA drivers to read the law).
Cannondale Synapse 6.
Well done, once he got past the slightly too long neurotic intro. 30mph may seem unrealistic to a flatlander, but I rarely do a ride where I don't exceed that at some point, usually while coasting.
The more you ride your bike, the less your ass will hurt.
I routinely go over 30mph even in the city > http://connect.garmin.com/activity/117323775
With all the hills we have in San Francisco it is hard to avoid.
Wow just realized this is my first post here. I've spent most of my time at the Velonews forum, Paceline (formerly Serotta forum), Weight Weenies and Road Bike Review.

Summaries help others decide whether to bother reading. It is an entertaining piece about a typical guy neurotically waking up in the night with various fears - mostly trivial - and plagued by worries during the day. The only time he is anxious is while on the bike in NYC traffic. Here is his conclusion:
"...Your brains glad to finally have a real job to do, instead of all that trivial busywork. You are all action, no deliberation.You are forced, under pain of death, to quit all that silly ideation and pay attention. Its meditation at gunpoint.Im convinced these are the conditions in which we evolved to thrive: under moderate threat of death at all times, brain and body fully integrated, senses on high alert, completely engaged with our environment..."
Enjoyable read.
Every man is, or hopes to be, an Idler. -- Samuel Johnson
I couldn't finish the second paragraph. That guy needs therapy. A lot of it. I guess the neurotic intro is an attempt to connect with his audience, but I think it's a polarizer: if a person can empathize his neuroses, there's a connection. If not, it alienates the reader. I fell into the second group. If I want to read stuff like that, I open a Pcad thread.
EDIT: Thanks, donheff, for pulling the best nugget out of the piece. I can certainly identify with that snippet. It is kind of exhilarating to herd cars.
I didn't read past the second paragraph either, the whole Woody Allen, neurotic self-examination thing is so not my style.
It is true. Cyclists are smarter than the average person.
Terrible writer but good message, once I could dig through to get it.
It is better to smell the flowers than taste the roots.
Typical baby-boomer navel-gazing neurotic BS.
Cheers, Gerry
I thought the writing was good. Sometimes how you say it is more important than what you say..
I enjoyed the writing, I liked the message, I thought it was all good. But then I like Woody Allen too. Well, I like Diane Keaton better, but still . . . I don't have all those worries he has but it was fun reading about them!

The description of going into a medative state because of all the things you are processing is spot on.

It was a well-written article, one with which I have a great deal of sympathy.
The thought of drowning really creeps me out, as does the Zombie Apocalypse. Be ready.

Weather Education For February 25, 2013
Today on the education blog we are going to look into a basic surface map and see what we can find and understand about the weather just by looking at this one map.
First, let's start with identifying our surface features, such as high pressures and low pressures. The colored chart below makes this really easy. The light blue color is where we find the lowest pressure and the center of our low pressure system that is currently over Oklahoma and Texas. If we note the red to pink colors, this is where we find our higher pressures, such as our high pressure centers. So, looking at the map above we can see one high pressure center over the Northeast Great Lakes region, with the second one over the Colorado Rockies, while a third one will be along the West Coast near Portland Oregon.
The next thing we can now identify is the cloud cover, as areas of high pressure have fewer clouds than areas of low pressure. So, with our example above, it is safe to say that we have clouds over Texas and Oklahoma, while there are very few clouds over the Rockies this afternoon by Northwest Colorado.
The third thing we can get off of this map is the wind directions. Ahead of a low pressure, we have South-Southeast and Southwest wind directions; so places along the Gulf Coast and East Texas will have southerly winds. On the back side of a low the winds are from the Northeast to Northwest, so places in the Texas panhandle will be having Northeast to Northerly winds. Now with the high pressure over Colorado it would provide us with northerly winds in Denver, while southerly winds are on the back side, so places in Utah and Western Colorado have southerly winds.
We can also get some winds strengths. If we look over Western Kansas and Oklahoma we can see that the low pressure and high pressure systems are pretty close together. This proximity of both weather systems means that we will be looking at very strong winds over Western Kansas and Oklahoma, which is true to what is happening there today, February 25, 2013.
So, now that we understand that and what all of this means on the surface weather map, we are ready to make our forecast for the day.
First, we would say that nice weather, such as partly cloudy skies, would be found in Western Colorado, while stormy weather would be in the Texas and Oklahoma area and this would also extend into the Gulf Coast region. If we were forecasting for the strongest winds, we would put them over Western Kansas and Oklahoma. If we wanted to have winds from the south, we would say that all along the Gulf Coast the winds are southerly. This also means the temperatures are going to be warmer with the southerly winds. Last, for colder air we would go to the Northern Plains, as the winds are from the north up there escorting in the colder air.

Michigan Ciders
Below you'll find an excerpt to a cider related blog post from "Life Is Fare - One woman's approach to living life to the fullest by eating happy food". I received the link for this story in my comments from the author. Needless to say I was very jealous. I've always wanted to make it out to Michigan and check out the cider scene. I'm in contact and email with a few folks out there and have found their ciders to be real good too.
Michigan is also home to the "Great Lakes Cider & Perry Association" who organizes and hosts the only International competition that is exclusively for Cider and Perry. They are also hosting the upcoming 3rd Annual Great Lakes Cider & Perry Festival to be held Sept 11-12 Uncle John's Cider Mill (one of Michigan's premier cider makers) at 8614 N US 127, St. Johns, MI. Tickets can be purchased here: http://www.michiganvine.com/tickets/
So read the excerpt and click on over to read the rest of the post as the author tours and tastes ciders from Michigan's own Tandem Ciders, Good Neighbor Organic Vineyard & Winery and Douglas Valley Organic Vineyards.
I gotta mention all three cider makers and many more Michigan cideries can be found on my North American Cider Map too... Go find and drink cider in Michigan!
On a Mission for Hard Cider
I've been drinking hard cider ever since I lived in London two decades ago. After that, I lived for a short time in Brattleboro, Vermont, where I was happy to find hard cider on tap at a place called Three Dollar Dewey's. Ever since, I've had a taste for it, especially in the fall. Now, Michigan is my destination for hard cider. Nothing beats buying your happy hour drink from a local producer! Read more here...
Thanks for the comments and link Marcia! Much appreciated.
Sea Cider - Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada - Rumrunner 2007
Ah Sea Cider... My first and only visit to Sea Cider so far was during the cidery tour of Vancouver Island we took during Peter Mitchell's 2008 Cider Class in Mount Vernon, WA. Their organic heirloom and cider apple orchard, the old English style farmhouse tasting room and cider house built new, the gorgeous view from the property looking down towards Washington's San Juan Islands. It is all very picturesque. Perfect I might say. Besides all that they make a really great cider too. Their whole line is robust and very flavorful.
When I visiting they were sold clean out of this very cider in the tasting room. We were informed that some was still lingering around at various beer and wine shops on Vancouver Island and mainland British Colombia. This bottle came to me nearly a year after my visit and for close to another year we have been sitting on this same bottle waiting for a great opportunity to taste, take notes and enjoy.
If you care to look I've got a number of pictures of Sea Cider's facility up in my Flickr account.
Sea Cider Rumrunner '07 Vintage
Somewhere along the way I guess I had forgotten this was a 14.2% cider. Considering ciders naturally ferment out to around 5-8% this is a mighty strong cider indeed. I don't recall them telling us how they reached that percentage nor does their website say, but for me it is hard to imagine the used Rum Barrel they age this cider in contributed 6-7% alcohol. Mysterious.
The Rumrunner '07 cider was a rich gold with a slight amber hue, fairly bright. The clarity was clear but not brilliant, but it was a couple years old mind you and had survived a car ride out to the ocean earlier that day. It was a nicely carbonated cider. An almost perfect level of bubble sensation and flavor accessibility.
Rumrunner's aroma was remarkably intense, warm, dark, very cidery and of a high quality; demonstrating it's woodiness combined with spicy notes of Rum (go figure), dried cherry, and apple of all things.
Sea Cider's Rumrunner has the same intensity in flavor as it does in it's aroma. Very intense, yet at the same time very balanced. We found to be sweet but not too sweet for the blend, it had a nice acidic edge that was just enough, letting Rumrunner's sweetness play the lead. However this cider had a terrific bitterness from the apple phenolics (tannins) and surely from the used oak rum barrels. The Rumrunner starts off surprisingly hot but assuredly and quickly melts away and shows a true earthiness and spice with accompanying flavors of raisin, rum (mysterious I know), leather, toffee, and even hints of clove in the finish.
Rumrunner '07 was complex, unique, and unlike any other cider I've had before. I'm not a light weight but I have to admit this cider is a scorcher has a serious kick. More like a port or dessert wine in strength and flavor intensity. At 14.25% it is also not for the faint of heart. You feel the warmth let's say. Perfect for fireside sipping on a cold Winter's night... Only if you don't have anywhere else to go for the evening.
Mouthfeel was just as pleasant as the rest. A slight astringency, moderate body and length and again off the charts in the balance department. A well blended friendly monster of a cider.
We thought a smaller bottle would have offered a different presentation more in line with ports and dessert wines, That undoubtedly would have changed our preconceived notions of what this cider would be like. Would I drink it again? Surely. It was not a taste you often experience in cider. So chock-full of flavor. I look forward to it but will be waiting for that cold Winter night, the fireplace, and nowhere else to go.
Farnum Hill Cider ~ Kingston Black Reserve '07 Single Variety Still Cider
Since last Fall I have been anxiously awaiting the perfect occasion to crack open this very special bottle of cider sent to me by my buddy Al. Thanks Al! Waiting patiently all the while eying the calendar. Cider reaches an early peak when compared to wines and should generally be enjoyed young. I thought Heather and my recent 5 year anniversary and trip to the beach about met the needs of the special occasion requirement so we brought packed it up and brought it on with us to the beach to taste.
You just don't run across single variety in these parts. I personally hope that changes. West County Ciders in Colrain Massachusetts has an astonishing line up of 10 single varietal ciders from both heirloom and cider apple varieties listed on their website. Including their own Kingston Black.
Although debated, the Kingston Black variety of "cider" apple is touted to be THE CIDER APPLE. The one with the most balanced flavors and substantial complexity, it has what most consider to be a perfectly balanced trifecta of sweetness, acidity, and tannin characteristics. It has acceptable sugar levels for adequately strong cider. The Kingston Black is a popular choice in nearly any cider orchard and a favored selection for making a single varietal cider. Is it the most popular single varietal cider? I couldn't say but I would suspect it is or among the top 2 or 3.
If you read this blog at all you'll soon find out that I think Farnum Hill Cider is at the top of the North American Cider list. At one time it was available to me in Oregon, sadly Farnum Hill is no longer available to us here on the Left Coast. Some of us are holding out hope that one day they will return.
Farnum Hill Kingston Black Reserve 2007
I was a little surprised by the color of this cider, and believe me I've been wondering what it was going to look like and what color it would be. I thought we would see a bit of gold or amber in the glass. What we got was a pure, bright, light gold/pale straw color. The clarity was very clear, bordering brilliant. The Farnum Hill Kingston Black is still cider but we did observe tiny micro-bubble effervescence. I can't say it was detectable in the mouthfeel so maybe just a byproduct of pouring or the drive to the beach. Overall impression of appearance was "Very Good".
Aroma was fairly intense and of an exceptional quality. Direct, fresh, very clean, bright and refreshing. Started with a nose of apricot and dried apricot transitioning to honey and floral notes of jasmine and honeysuckle. I find well made ciders to be entrancing sometimes. You close your eyes, breathe in deep, and don't ever want the sensation of that bouquet to disappear.
Farnum Hill Ciders are generally speaking from my experience very punchy and in your face. Strong acidity. The single varietal Kingston Black was much more subdued, lighter, and more delicate than I presumed. Impressive and delicious none the less. We got flavors of lemon, lemon verbena, fresh herb, basil, lime, green apple. We detected a very Perry-like fresh cucumber quality. Sweetness was certainly light to slight but detectable and yup it did have some of that characteristic Farnum Hill acidity too. Like the color and the aroma, the flavor was also very clean, refreshing, and crisp. While tannins were present, they weren't overwhelming. Middle of the road I'd say but fitting for this cider and about par with most of the fresh Kingston Blacks I've ever tasted.
The mouthfeel and body was still, medium to light bodied, very balanced with moderate astringency and medium length. As stellar as the rest of course. Completely in sync with the whole of this cider. 'nough said.
Overall we deemed it was a "Very Good Plus". Unoffensive, approachable, friendly cider with tons of character if you take the time to hear it out. The kind of delicate cider to be savored, sipped slowly from a fine wine glass. It may not be for everyone but everyone should buy it and try it. Stands up to and is a great counterpart to dry salami, prosciutto or charcuterie of nearly any kind I imagine. Sharp cheeses as with most ciders are a plus too.
Check back soon. I have a ton more ciders out in my "cider fridge" waiting to be looked at, sniffed, tasted, over analyzed and written about. During this same trip we also tasted the aptly named Rumrunner (oddly enough from 2007 too) from Sea Cider on Vancouver Island of Canada's West Coast which need written about. We have some Uncle John's Fruit House Winery Ciders that were sent to me some time ago that I'm anxious to write about. I also received a generous sample pack from Diane at Foggy Ridge Cider that needs serious attention.

Replacement air filter from Oregon. Keep your chainsaw running efficiently with a clean air filter. This filter has a non woven felt material (also known as flocked or fleece) on the surface that picks up fine particles of dust. They filter very well (which is a good thing), but tend to ice up in sub freezing conditions. We recommend a nylon mesh filter for frozen sawing. Filters can load up quickly, so we recommend having a couple of spares handy.

Cloud-based commercial fleet telematics units to reach 16.8 million by 2018
The number of cloud-based commercial fleet telematics units is forecast by ABI Research to reach 16.8 million units by the end of 2018, up from 1.1 million in 2012.
For cloud-based fleet telematics applications, the data processing is performed in the cloud rather than by software and hardware in each vehicle.
"The platform is easily scalable and all IT services can be outsourced to the cloud provider, which means that the telematics provider can focus on its core competence of developing telematics applications," explained Gareth Owen, principal analyst at ABI.
Leading cloud-based telematics providers include Fleetmatics, MiX Telematics, Telogis and XRS.
ABI identified a number of challenges posed by cloud-based telematics, such as data privacy, data ownership and security issues. For example, a hacker could modify or disable a firm's operating systems or introduce malware by compromising the "over-the-air" transmission of firmware updates.
"Virtually all of the major commercial fleet telematics providers have moved to some form of cloud-based system, and are offering SaaS-based services, although there are wide differences in the types of services offered by these companies," Owen said.
"As a result, a number of these companies are reporting an increase in higher-margin software revenues and a corresponding decrease in hardware revenues. However, most SaaS-based revenue lines include a hardware component in the monthly subscription fee although this is not normally broken down," he cautioned.
Owen noted that older telematics equipment might not work properly or at all using the cloud, so cloud-based fleet telematics systems must be designed with the cloud in mind.

LONDON — Prince Harry, the third in line to the British throne, who arrived back in the U.K. on Monday from serving in the army in Afghanistan, said he has killed Taliban fighters, to "take a life to save a life."
The prince, 28, a gunner in Apache helicopters, said he had taken the enemy "out of the game" during his deployment. He served in Helmand province in southern Afghanistan, supporting allied troops fighting the Taliban at close quarters and accompanying British Chinook and U.S. Black Hawk helicopters on casualty evacuation missions.
"Yeah, so lots of people have," he told reporters after being asked if he had killed from the cockpit, in remarks distributed by the Press Association newswire. "The squadron's been out here. Everyone's fired a certain amount."
"Take a life to save a life," the prince said. "That's what we revolve around, I suppose. If there's people trying to do bad stuff to our guys, then we'll take them out of the game, I suppose."

He insisted killing the enemy was not what motivated him to become an attack helicopter pilot. Serving with British forces in Afghanistan makes him the first royal to fight in a war zone in more than 25 years.
"It's not the reason I decided to do this job," he said. "The reason to do this job was to get back out here and carry on with a job."
Life in the army is "as normal as it's going to get," he said, adding he relishes having the chance to muck in as "one of the guys." He complained about how the media handle reporting of the royal family, calling it "rubbish," adding that he hopes his sister-in-law, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, is left alone to enjoy her pregnancy.
Harry, who was in Afghanistan when it was announced that his elder brother, Prince William, and his wife, who is known as Kate, are expecting a baby in July, said he is "thrilled" for the couple and "can't wait to be an uncle."
Harry was given no special treatment during his tour, and he worked, rested, ate and slept in exactly the same conditions as the other pilots in his squadron. He flew in support of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force, Afghan National Army and Afghan National Police fighters. The U.K. is due to end combat operations in Afghanistan by the end of 2014.

Thanks AJS for your entertaining story of your 'revenge' – you are right that subtle revenge is always the best sort and there is nothing like being absolutely charming to people who have been horrible in order to wrong-foot them. I once had a more minor encounter of a similar type with a journalist who had given me a bad review. It was at a party, where I found myself sitting next to a young woman who was clearly a bit on-her-own, and as I had had a couple of drinks and was in relaxed mode, I befriended her and we chatted away like old friends. After a while, I asked her name and she told me – it rang a slight bell but I couldn't remember where I had heard it – when I said my name, she blanched and made her excuses, scuttling off out of the room in great haste. It was only later that I realised she had given me a stinking review a couple of years before, and it still pleases me to think that, not only had I been very nice to her, my face would have shown that her name meant nothing to me.
Julie I like your observation on Austen getting revenge in Pride and Prejudice – that sounds entirely plausible to me.
Of course, however much control we have in our novels, the one thing we can't control is their eventual fate once they hit the marketplace – something that is very clear to me at the moment as I am at a crucial stage with selling WYL – all we be revealed as soon as I am allowed to say.

Astros draft Stanford pitcher Mark Appel at No. 1
SECAUCUS, N.J. This time, the Houston Astros couldn't resist drafting Mark Appel with the No. 1 pick.
Houston selected the hard-throwing Stanford pitcher with the top choice in the Major League Baseball draft Thursday night, a year after passing on the hometown kid and instead choosing 17-year-old shortstop Carlos Correa from Puerto Rico.
"I talked to him and told him: `Welcome home,'" Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said. "It's a kid's dream to go first in the country, first in the draft and to be taken by your hometown team. It just doesn't get any better than that. It's also really a great opportunity for us."
Appel, who grew up in Houston before moving to California when he was 12, slid to Pittsburgh at No. 8 last year but turned down a $3.8 million offer and returned to Stanford for his senior season. The move paid off.
After going 10-4 with a 2.12 ERA and 130 strikeouts in 106 1-3 innings this season for the Cardinal, the 6-foot-4, 195-pound Appel is expected to fetch about double the amount he passed up from the Pirates.
"I don't think I necessarily had an end goal in mind when I turned down the Pirates' offer," said Appel, who complements his mid-90s (mph) fastball with a nasty slider and improving changeup. "My goals were to finish my degree and become a better baseball player and better person and better teammate. As far as that goes, I think I accomplished those things.
"No matter what happened in the draft, I knew I had done everything that was in my control to put myself in the best situation possible."
The deadline for teams to sign draft picks is July 12, but that doesn't apply to Appel because he is a college senior.
"I'm very confident that Mark Appel is going to put on an Astros uniform," Luhnow said. "He's from here. He wants to play here. He's been selected first in the draft. All the indicators are pointing in the same direction, so I assume it will be a fairly straightforward discussion and that he'll sign sometime this summer."
The draft, which is held over three days and 40 rounds, started Thursday night with the first two rounds at MLB Network Studios. Nine prospects attended and sat in a makeshift dugout as they waited for their names to be called by Commissioner Bud Selig in an event that has grown dramatically over the last few years.
"It really is terrific," Selig said. "This is what we had in mind. I love this night. ... This is the way you build a baseball team. It was true when Branch Rickey said it many, many years ago ... and it's just as true today."
It was the second straight season that the first pick was uncertain going into the draft, with Oklahoma right-hander Jonathan Gray and a pair of college third basemen - North Carolina's Colin Moran and San Diego's Kris Bryant - thought to be in the mix for Houston. It was the fourth time the Astros had the No. 1 pick, and they joined Tampa Bay (2007-08) and Washington (2009-10) as teams to have the top selection in consecutive years.
The draft order is determined by reverse finish - worst to best - in the overall standings from last season.
With the No. 2 pick, the Chicago Cubs selected Bryant, who led Division I college players with 31 home runs this season. The 6-foot-5, 210-pound junior is a Golden Spikes finalist and Collegiate Baseball magazine's national player of year.
Gray went third overall to the Colorado Rockies. The 6-foot-4, 245-pound flamethrower helped pitched the Sooners into the super regionals of the NCAA tournament, going 10-2 with a 1.59 ERA and 138 strikeouts in 119 innings.

awareness in the public about the need to limit energy subsidies.
Energy experts, Singh said, were unanimous that the country cannot expect to achieve rapid, inclusive and sustainable growth if it did not undertake a phased adjustment in energy prices to bring them in line with world prices.
He further said failure to contain subsidy would mean either cutting plan expenditure in other sectors or exceeding the fiscal deficit target.
Describing the current economic situation as "difficult", the Prime Minister said the first priority of the government would be to reverse slowing growth rate.
"The continuing crisis in the global economy has reduced growth everywhere... Our first priority must be to reverse the slowdown. We cannot change the global economy, but we can do something about the domestic constraints which have contributed to downturn," Singh added.
India's economic growth has declined to a nine-year low of 6.5 per cent in 2011-12. For the current fiscal, it is estimated at 5.7-5.9 per cent, which would be the lowest growth in the last decade.
Terming the scaling down of growth for 12th Plan to 8 per cent as a "reasonable modification", Singh said, "achieving an average of 8 per cent growth following less than 6 per cent in the first year is still an ambitious target... The high growth scenario will definitely not materialise if we follow 'a business as usual' policy."
Earlier, Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia said that in view of the domestic and global developments, the growth rate "associated with scenario one (most optimistic outlook) could be scaled down to 8 per cent".
The Prime Minister emphasised that both the Centre and the states should work towards increasing resources to finance programmes of inclusiveness.
Referring to implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, Singh said there was a need to increase the tax ratio as a percent of GDP through combination of tax reforms and better tax administration.
"Early implementation of the GST is critical in this context. I hope we will have the co-operation of the States to introduce the GST as quickly as possible," he said.
Singh said growth rate of many states have improved in the recent years. "The average growth rate of the five poorest states exceeds the national average for the first time in any Plan. I think we may be reaching the stage when the term BIMARU states can be relegated to

Coupled with Friday's 16-5 victory, the Bulldogs clinched the weekend series with Saturday's victory. For MSU, it is their second conference victory of the season. The Bulldogs also claimed their first conference road series since winning twice at Ole Miss in 2009. MSU also takes a road series in Knoxville for the first time since 2001. Granted, MSU did win one game in a rain-shortened series in 2007.
With the victory, the Bulldogs improved to 28-18 overall and 10-13 in league play. Tennessee fell to 22-22 and 5-18. MSU remains tied with Ole Miss for fourth place in the Western Division standings and eighth place in the overall league standings. For the Bulldogs, this marks their most league wins since 2007.
In his longest start of the season, Routt was lifted after a leadoff walk in the Tennessee seventh inning. Routt (1-2) allowed five hits and three runs (all earned), with three strikeouts and five walks. Tim Statz faced three batters in relief. Taylor Stark worked the final 2.2 innings of hitless relief to earn his second save. Stark struck out four and walked one.
"Nick did not have his best control but for the most part, he pitched well," MSU head coach John Cohen said. "I can't say enough about what Taylor Stark did for our ballclub. He was great out of the bullpen. We really needed that lift."
The Bulldogs built an early 4-0 lead with single scores in the first and third innings and two scores in the fourth inning.
In the first inning, Ryan Collins started things with a one-out single. After a steal of second base and a walk to Cody Freeman, Nick Vickerson delivered an RBI-double. That hit scored Collins but Freeman was retired at home.
In the third inning, Hunter Renfroe hit a leadoff double - his first hit with the Maroon and White. After a sacrifice bunt, Renfroe came home on RBI-groundout hit by Collins. In the fourth inning, Vickerson and Jaron Shepherd hit back-to-back solo home runs. For Vickerson, it was his fourth, while Shepherd has now hit three.
"Normally solo home runs are a curse," Cohen said. "However, on this afternoon they certainly turned out to be a blessing."
The Volunteers broke up the shutout with a single score in the fourth inning. In the fifth inning, each team scored a single run. The Bulldogs tallied when C.T. Bradford doubled and later scored on a sacrifice-fly by Collins.
In the seventh inning, the Volunteers had that last shot. Tennessee loaded the bases thanks to two walks and a fielding error. However, UT only plated one score.
From there, Stark closed the door - only allowing one base runner, on a ninth inning one-out walk.
"This team came to Tennessee and needed to make a statement," Cohen said. "We have been able to do that this weekend."
The Bulldogs finished with nine hits - snapping a streak of three straight games with double-digit hits. Collins and Vickerson had multiple hits. Vickerson remains on fire with 16 hits in his last 29 at-bats. Third baseman Jarrod Parks ran his hit streak to 19 games.
Matt Duffy had two of Tennessee's five hits.
UT starter Nick Blount (1-3) worked four innings, while taking the loss. Blount allowed six hits and four runs (all earned), with one strikeout and two walks.
The Mother's Day series finale is set for 1 p.m. CT Sunday and will be televised regionally by SportSouth. MSU is scheduled to start sophomore right-hander Chris Stratton (4-5, 4.98 ERA), while the UT starter has not been announced.

Consider the due date
When is the assignment due? Move that date ahead at least one day to allow time for events outside your control, such as a printer not working, password problems, lost internet connections or your computer deciding to corrupt every file on your hard drive. All of these things have happened to U of S students! Hint: always make a backup copy-or two!-especially for important papers. You can copy your file to your file storage space on PAWS, save on a USB stick, or e-mail the file to yourself.
- When deciding how much time to spend on an assignment, consider your familiarity with the material, the weight of the assignment and the difficulty of the class as well as how long it will take you to complete it. For example, it makes sense to budget three times as much time to writing a term paper worth 30% than you would in preparing for a term assignment worth 5% of your overall grade. However, you will also want to spend more time on the more difficult classes.
- The first time you do a new activity, you're facing a "double learning curve"-not only are you learning new material, you are also learning how to do a particular type of assignment. The first time you write a university-level paper, for example, you'll need to learn how to find appropriate resources, how the library works and what presentation format the professor expects. Allow extra time for this double learning curve. If you need some help in getting started, plan a visit to Student Learning Services for Writing Help.
Think about the steps to complete larger project
For large projects-such as essays, term papers and especially group assignments, you will need to develop a project plan.
For example, writing a paper requires the following steps:
- Choose a topic - 1 day (Do preliminary research to ensure that the topic is viable, then narrow the topic)
- Research the topic - 10 days
- Prepare an outline - 1 day
- Write a rough draft - 1 day
- Revise the rough draft - 5 days (Do a final edit to check grammar and mechanics)
- Work on other projects while someone (i.e., SLS Writing Help, professor, tutor, friends, etc.) reviews the paper and offers suggestions for improvement - 7 days
- Complete the final revisions - 3 days
- Proofread and print - 1 day before
Checkout the Research Paper Planner on the USask website. It is a great system that will help you develp a plan for writing research papers.
Milestone due dates for each step of the project
Estimate how long each step, or milestone, will take, then work backwards from your due date, assigning due dates for each step of the project. You can use the Project Planner (PDF) template to keep track of this information, or you can simply record the steps on a file on the computer. (The computer file is more versatile than the paper version, especially if you happen to think of the necessary tasks in random order instead of chronologically.) More sophisticated project planners, such as Gantt charts, are available on the web.

Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter believes that Microsoft and Sony may very well cut the price of their respective consoles at some point but are waiting to see what the retail price of the Wii U will be so they can respond accordingly.
"I think both Microsoft and Sony are waiting to see Wii U pricing. If it is over $300, they don't need to cut." Pachter tells C&VG.
"When Nintendo makes a move, they [Sony and Microsoft] will respond accordingly," he added.
Earlier today analyst Sebastian Colin of Baird Equity Research also indicated that he expects Microsoft and Sony to make price cuts, which he categorized as "necessary."
On the PS Vita front, Pachter thinks that if Sony decides to slash the price of its hand-held at all it won't be until November of this year. When asked about a price cut similar to what Nintendo did with its 3DS, Sony executives said it was too soon to even think about such things.

Angelo Henriquez continues to earn plaudits in Spain after scoring twice in Real Zaragoza's win over Real Mallorca.
The 19 year old has been in impressive form for his side in recent weeks and continued this against Mallorca.
He got his first of the game, and Zaragoza's second, after getting across his defender to poke home from close range following a right wing cross.
Henriquez's predatory instincts are impressive and he showed them again with Zaragoza's third.
Another cross from the right saw Henriquez's initial header saved, but made no mistake with second attempt after dispatching a recovering Mallorca defender with a feint befoe firing in from close range.
The game finished 4 -2, with Henriquez now hitting 4 goals in 6 games.
Quick to play down the tag of saviour given to him by Marca, the player who was compared to former Zaragoza superstar David Villa is starting to look the part with recent goal return.

Yes as a fans i always keep news of player that went away from united on loan. Henriquez,jesse lingard,n.powell and macheda also shinning. Moyes gave chance to young talent and he will surely gave them chance.
Waiting for the return of jesse lingard,nick powell to play under moyes coaching. As for henriquez let him develop his goal scoring abilities that he is doing right now and loan also promising young talent will keane and larnel cole.
Hope we get fellaini soon. Get well soon
Moyes call lingard,powell back we will need them.
Yes! moyes is doing great job now but we must work hard on our passes too many mistake united does in passing that cost us goal early. Kagawa is the solution moyes used him in 4-2-1-3 as creative attacking midfielder.
Line-up like that
This line up must used in second half after you began with your as usual 4-4-2

Tallahassee, FL -- November 4, 2011 --
Nearly seven decades have gone by, and on World War Two veteran is finally getting a well deserved honor.
It took 67 years, but, Retired Lt. Col. Terrell Yon is finally getting the Croix de Guerre pinned to his chest.
Yon was promised the French combat medal in August 1944, but, it was never presented to him until now.
The presentation was made Friday afternoon in Tallahassee.
Yon says, "I really appreciate it. Now, I'm so glad to sit back and stroke it, you know."
Yon earned the medal for what happened in World War II on December 28, 1943.
Yon and a wingman were ordered to intercept an armed plane spotted over the French Island of Corsica.
His wingman dropped out because of engine trouble.
Left in the chase alone, Yon fired both cannon and machine gun fire, striking the enemy plane.
That plane caught fire and crashed.
Brigadier General Bruno Caitucoli says, "They were losing a lot of wingmen every mission. For them, the question was not whether they'll lose wingmen, the question was how many. I'm here to say thank you on behalf of my nation."
Yon returned to the United States before the Croix de Guerre could be presented to him.
His son Kenny Yon realized his father never got the medal and got the ball rolling to make sure that it happened--even if it took until his father was 92 years old.
Kenny Yon says, "It brings, I guess the modern word would be closure. There was something that was not yet completed. Getting the particular medal presented, it certainly completes the mission."
Yon is from Blountstown, Florida.

Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/22/2010 10:57 AM ESTIn the spirit of the ever lasting fruitcake. A terrific story. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
Ah, December, that special time of year filled with festive family traditions involving gingerbread houses and Christmas carols and, in the case of Jeanne Callinan and Joan Flaherty, a 23-year-old fruitcake that refuses to die.This particular tradition began around the time that poor Aunt Peggy's life ended. You see, someone sent the family a mail-order fruitcake every Christmas, and Aunt Peggy was the only member of the extended clan who willingly — actually, happily — ate it.So 23 years ago, Peggy in a better place, Joan Flaherty wrapped it up and gave it to her daughter, Jeanne. The following December, Jeanne was pulling out the Christmas decorations in her new apartment and found the fruitcake, sealed in its original box, stored among the ornaments and lights.What to do, what to do? Her new husband, Charlie, clever, cheap, or both, proposed giving it back to her mother for Christmas, so they put it in an old stereo box and presented it on Christmas morning. "I don't know how many pounds it was, but it was a weapon,'' Jeanne said.As Joan tore off the wrapping, tears of joy welled in her eyes — her only daughter, spending scarce savings on a new sound system for her mother. She would enjoy it every day and treasure it forever.Then she reached into the box and pulled out the fruitcake. "She looked at me and said, 'You [noun that can't be used here],' '' Jeanne recalled. It was war, and it would go on as long as they did.Back and forth it's gone for nearly a quarter of a century, through recessions and expansions, births and deaths, the constant being the same Butterfield Farms fruitcake (yes, the company still exists; no they didn't respond to an inquiry on whether they found this amusing) that defines the expression that it is better to give than receive.Mother and daughter had to get creative in the presentation, because neither would willingly accept it back. There was the year that Jeanne convinced radio personality Hank Morse at WROR-FM to knock on her mother's door and say she won a Loren and Wally contest. When Joan delightedly sifted through the package of T-shirts, CDs, and dashboard statues, she pulled out the fruitcake and cussed. "Ah yes, Joan Flaherty and the fruitcake,'' Morse said yesterday.Then there was the year that Joan brought the cake, still in its sealed box, to the local Star Market and asked the baker if he'd cover it with foil and frosting and disguise it as a Christmas cake. "They put a Santa Claus and a sleigh on it,'' Joan said yesterday. When Jeanne cut into it at her open house, the knife nearly broke in pieces, everyone yelling, 'Gotcha!' ''Funny part is, the two could not be closer. Joan was a single mother who raised Jeanne, an only child, on what the daughter described as a "wing and a prayer,'' working 43 years at the telephone company and taking second jobs at night to get her through Emerson College.These days, Joan, a crafty 73, lives in a newly renovated apartment in Jeanne's Medford house, where doting son-in-law Charlie wanted to hide the fruitcake between the studs in her bedroom wall."She is the best mom in the world,'' Jeanne said.But such feelings never get in the way of the mission. The fruitcake has been disguised in the bottom of a Christmas bouquet. It's been stashed inside a gift popcorn tin. One December, Joan, a cancer survivor, was surrounded during a checkup by oncologists and nurses who said they wanted to present a gift for being so upbeat with other patients. Yes, the fruitcake.Yesterday morning, Joan won the "Volunteer Usher Raffle'' at the Stoneham Theatre. Friends gathered around her as she opened the gorgeous box and pushed aside the festive tissue to find, well, the 23-year-old Butterfield Farms fruitcake that is now hers for the year."I've already got a plan for next Christmas,'' Joan said.Of course she does. What are holidays without traditions?
Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/22/2010 11:12 AM ESTOMG, that is so funny, Amber. I'm copying it and passing it along to a couple of friends.
Speaking of traditions - in this house it's the plum pudding my mother always made. Got everything ready to pour into the metal coffee can to steam it this morning, and lo and behold, the can has a lip. Never would get it out, so instead have poured it into a well greased casserole dish, covered with greased wax paper and tied neatly. It steams away. Reminds me of the year I put the leftover stuffing mix into a greased round casserole and presented it, dome top up, at the Christmas table. I don't know if I ever posted the poem my oldest son wrote after that day, but I'll look in my scrapbook and give it a post - a good holiday laugh.
Best wishes go with you, winter, I'm sure everything will be fine. And just think, you'll have it all over with. Hate when it drags on and on, waiting for the day of surgery. You were smart to schedule it now.
For those who will not be on the boards because of going away, or whatever other reason, I wish you a Merry Christmas. No Christmas poem this year. Now I'm going to go look up that stuffing poem. That will give everyone a chuckle, and will be my poem contribution this holiday.
Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/22/2010 11:33 AM ESTWell, here it is. To set the stage, oldest son wrote this in response to a poem G.T. wrote praising the somewhat strange apparition that turned out to be molded stuffing. The year is 1996. Merry Christmas from me to you all, compliments of my oldest son:
"Oh, G.T., Oh, G.T., you misguided fool -
writing poem and prose to praise this gruel!
Yes, cold, yes stiff, yes firm to the touch,
Yes molded, yes hard, oh, Lord, it's too much!
This new apparition seemed foreign and scary!
It frightened poor wife, and terrified Larry!
I like the old stuffing, cooked deep in the bird -
tasting of giblets, and innards, my word.
Some moist, some dry, some soupy, some thick -
some tacky enough to cement to a brick!
But, homemade it was, and cooked the old way,
and the best thing was in a sandwich next day.
All praises are due, with this I agree,
for feeding us all - for buying a tree -
for presents - for booze - for cheese straws and candy -
for shrimp and for eggs, she devils so dandy!
Also her gravy tho it comes from a can,
and I would prefer it from the roasting pan.
This stuffing, I fear, will be our undoing.
Forgive me, I pray, for my venomous spewing.
For once down this road, we walk without fears,
instead of plum pudding, we'll get fruitcake from Sears!"

Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/22/2010 2:47 PM ESTAll that talk about needle work and embroidery made me think of my young days. I did quite a bit of embroidering - just like tt say, so relaxing. I never did the painted things. Always thread counting. Unfortunately my eyes and hands will not let me do it any more.
Here is a wall "painting", I did some 40 years ago - it measures about 18 x 24 inches. It took me awhile to do, but the smaller stuff I finished too quickly.

I would just LOVE to see some of your work as well as your S&P collection.
If an illiterate computer clod like me could learn, so can you. It is really not that hard. We old-timers are just afraid of the new technology, while the youngsters think in a different way.
Maybe it is not too late for Santa to bring you a camera. Doesn't need to be a fancy one. The more simple it is, the better. Like tt said, 4 things to learn. How hard is that?
Merry Christmas to you too with a Healthy and Happy New Year - Pingo

Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/23/2010 7:24 AM ESTGood morning,
A beautiful piece of stitchery, Pingo. Thanks for sharing.
I got up to a house smelling wonderfully of plum pudding and gingerbread men. Was able to get enough (25 - that's just how many will be here Christmas morning) out of the gingerbread recipe, so that I don't have to make another batch today. It's time consuming and hard on my hands. Last year before carpal tunnel surgery I just couldn't manage to roll out the dough and everyone missed them. A new molded form will make its appearance this year too, the plum pudding came out easily from the casserole dish. Can't imagine that I will get as many pieces out of it as I did the sliced can form, but then there are are only a couple of us that truly like it.
Planned to pick up a few last minute food items today, but unless it really clears up this afternoon, that will have to wait until tomorrow. Dragged the trash out yesterday, and now looking out I can see it's mostly snow covered. Hope we have adventurous enough trashmen who will grab it and throw it in the truck anyway.
Cheerio and I got up early this morning because we have a full day planned. So, it's probably another day that I won't be checking the boards much. Christmas is so close, and then pfft, it's all over. Such a let down after all the hustle and bustle of the past month. I find I usually want to get the decorations down and put away quickly tho, and get my house back to normal. That toyroom is on the list for today, as I know the kids will all head right there once their gifts afre opened. Where am I going to put all the stuff I moved into there to make room for the decorations?? Maybe the stairway going upstairs - there's a door at the bottom I can close. Talk about Fibber McGee's closet! - Anyway, have a good day all.

Winter I hope your surgery is over by now, so you don't have to wait all day. Sending my prayers.
tt, thanks for checking in - so we know you are alright. And thanks for sharing your oldest son's poem with us. What a talented family you have. Be careful if you go out - even if the snow stops, it will still be a mess out there. I went out yesterday morning to do my final grocery shopping, and of course I missed two items. But if I don't get them, I will make do w/o them.
Icer, I hope we will see photos of your croquembuches.
Princess, how are you feeling? Merry Christmas to you too and a happy and HEALTHY New Year.
The world travellers are "in flight" on their last leg from Frankfurt. Everything is on time. Can't wait to pick them up this afternoon. Fortunately my son will drive.
I have a busy day too. Dec. 23rd is called "little Christmas" in my home country - and has it's own traditions (like decorating the Christmas tree f. ex). So merry little Christmas to you all - Pingo

posted at 12/24/2010 8:55 AM ESTGoodmorning everyone,
Just checking in before my very busy day starts. Everyone made it home safely yesterday. The boys came late afternoon - even later after a two hours ride from the airport, the traffic was totally crazy - and DIL came very late last night.
Sitting quietly here with my cuppa, before the "good mayhem" (as mothermitzy described it) begins. I woke up to the smell of coffee. The jetlaggers had been up, made coffee, had cereal and then went back to sleep. It will take a day or two, before their body clock starts ticking, with the rest of us.
Winter, I hope you are back home, had a nice rest and doing well this morning.
You all enjoy the day, I know I will - Pingo

Hello Everyone,
I could your HELP please. I'm looking for the meatball recipe that was posted back in the November Chat.....I think by Pingo. My problem is that I'm not able to get into the November Chat. I did save the recipe on my computer but, when I try to access it, Boston.com won't accept my password. Although, it's the same password I use to get into this site. I believe this recipe has club soda in it. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have all the ingredients sitting on my counter right now. Thank you so much.
Merry Christmas and a Healthy, Joyous New Year to you all!!

NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision review -
A Stereo Introduction
|NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision
|Street price:
|475 EUR (3D Vision kit + Monitor )
175 EUR (3D Vision kit)
You know, for ages we all have been fascinated by illusions. We like to be surprised, flabbergasted and impressed. Magicians and illusionists therefore appeal to us very much. Who doesn't love a good card trick or the mystery of a disappearing Statue of Liberty?
When you think about it for a while it's in that same line of thinking where 3D stereo gaming can be placed. We, for whatever reason, like to trick our brain into seeing something that isn't there or that is out of the ordinary... we like to trick our brain.
3D stereo ladies and gentlemen is all about deception. We fire off impulses to our eyes that are perceived as depth in our brain, how does that work you ask? Well in the case of NVIDIA's GeForce 3D Vision... it's simply fascinating technology actually. And you know what? It isn't even new.
In fact I think it was 2002~2004 when we tested several 'stereo 3D' kits. Back then really interesting technology, but certainly with some concerns. First off, any monitor below a 100hz refresh rate wouldn't cut it. See, alternating each eye would receive 50 Hz giving you a massive headache due to monitor flicker. Back then CRT monitors were hot stuff, yet then came LCD. Rendering the 3D stereoscopic experience nearly impossible, with their fixed 60hz refresh rates.
Also back in the day a huge problem was driver support. Your games need proper support to be able to run in 3D stereo / 3D Vision mode. NVIDIA certainly has not been, and how do I say this carefully, 'releasing drivers on a regular basis'. Again, rendering the 3D stereoscopic experience nearly impossible. To this very date driver support has been an issue. The last company to experience all this was Zalman. They had to wave a big bag of money at NVIDIA to get their new 3D monitors up and running with 3D stereo support. And we all know where their monitors will end up.
Anyway, these two things were key to solve and had to be overcome: driver support and high refresh rate monitors.
NVIDIA therefore teamed up with Samsung to optionally bundle 120 Hz LCD monitors with their all new 3D stereo shutter glasses technology. NVIDIA on their end got driver support (limited to this kit only and very few monitors) up and going to a state where it's really good. Next to that, they redesigned the approach to the overall gaming experience. A set of shutter glasses that is wireless and rechargeable, games that are supported in the new drivers will automatically kick in 3D mode and next to that, NVIDIA really wanted a cool looking kit.
It is now 2009, a lot in the stereoscopic market segment has changed and sure, a lot hasn't. With the new GeForce 3D Vision stereo kits now slowly becoming available here in Europe, we figured it's a good time to have a look at them. We asked NVIDIA to send out the complete bundle, with a Samsung 120Hz LCD monitor and shutter glasses kit for a full review.
Let's have a look at the 3D stereo gaming experience anno 2009 and see how far 3D has really come. But first of course a little 101 on stereoscopic imaging.

I heart todd oldham - is that a good book?? Maybe I'll go and peruse it at the bookstore this weekend. I need to go spend some dawdling time at a bookstore again, I've been lacking lately in my reading, and I can always use more inspiration for the house.
Pastor Dave is a radical dude, for being Lutheran, and while I have several friends who are pretty fringey Lutheran Pastors who I adore...none of them are in Chicago. But anyway, I explained to him that the current public face of Christianity feels too messianic to me, too settled, too conservative, and too sure that they have all the right answers. I don't feel like truth offers you the answers, more that it offers a framework for exploration on the journey. Furthermore, I feel like most churches exist to preach to the people sitting in the pews, and largely engage in too much navel-gazing, and not enough good works in the community. So, NO, I don't really call myself a Christian these days, though I am Spiritual, as washed out as that phrase can be too. And then I said I am still very uncomfortable with a church that still thinks its OK to exclude groups of people - namely gay/lesbian people....that while they may be welcomed in many churches as parishoners, if they are not allowed to be in leadership roles, I can't sit in your church. The Jesus I've read about was as radical as they come, and he was out there with the people living on the edges of society - he wouldn't care about the suburban churches, except to mobilize them to get out there and help those who've been excluded. So that's my stance.
Pastor Dave was more than receptive to my feelings, understood them, and reflected much of it back to me...the guy walks with his god in the best possible sense, and that's why his church is out in the community as much as it is in the sanctuary, and going to other countries to offer help where needed. He pushes the envelope and makes his congregation feel uncomfortable in the face of injustice, so they get out there and act on it. His response was so welcome, where my parents make me feel like a pariah. And, the guy can tell a story and wrap it in his faith in a truly remarkable way...I'd love to go to his church again, but I am NOT moving to rural Georgia. And then he tells me that this Sunday for Reformation, he's going to preach in blue jeans and a ripped t-shirt, and segregate the congration by those with tattoos and those without, and let them all know that they need to be reaching more tattooed people. Good stuff.
Soo for a long ramble....that took up much of the evening. He did try and bring me back to the Lutheran fold, though, and it was pretty cute. I told him he has some work to do, yet before that ever happens.
Poodle, you might want to check around and see if any theaters in Mpls are showing Nightmare in 3D - its been re-released all across the country! I heart tim burton too...dude is a genius.

7 Ways to Keep Alcohol From Ruining Your Diet
Booze clues
Over the years, many of my clients have confided that too many cocktails on the weekend, followed by alcohol-induced overeating, cancels out their work-week healthy eating efforts. And as a result, instead of seeing results, they remain "stuck" in a weight loss plateau. Sound familiar? This trend is supported by a new UK survey, which found that in a single evening out on the town, 40% of women consume about 1,000 calories in alcohol alone. In addition, more than half say that imbibing makes them hungrier, and four in five admit that drinking diminishes their willpower, causing them to indulge in foods like burgers, pizza, and chips. If alcohol is your diet downfall, try putting these seven tips into action.
