"On Our Way Rejoicing"
... floods and devastation. A lot has happened while we've been away but we have been proud of the way our state has rebounded and are moving forward.
We're excited to be getting home tomorrow. We've been very fortunate through all our travels and have enjoyed sharing our adventures with our friends and family. We're glad I wrote the blog because it's already hard to remember some of the names of places we've been!
The adventure begins
... Tuesday had turned into Wednesday. We were exhausted but you need to keep going the first day to get used to the time change. Germany is 6 hours ahead of US EST. Our hostess, Yvonne met us at the airport and took us to her home. It is a former villa and she lives on one floor of it. Very unique! We went to the city and Yvonne showed us the main square and historical area. The streets were being closed and set up for a major ...

We ended up stopping for the night at
Glasgow Walmart which is only half an hour to the Cave we want to

the nearly empty Walmart carpark as his personal race track. He had a
large radio controlled jeep that he was driving at like 70kms and it
made a charming roar as it raced around. Headed to sleep once that
stopped around 11pm. Ah, the joys of camping at Walmart!

There were a few museums and things in

Museum, everyone under 16 groaned. I think they have been in plenty
of museums the last few weeks and are temporarily museumed out. So we
drove onto to Marion NC. This one did have very small signs which
said No Overnight camping so we weren't sure if we would get moved on

Sparkle Clips - My kids love them!
I love my classroom behavior clip chart! This year, I added Sparkle Clips! If a child's clip moves all the way up to pink - they get a sparkle gem added to their clip! My kindergarten kids love the sparkle clips! I like that I can reward great behavior with just a little sparkle gem! It is difficult to get all the way to pink, when it happens, we all cheer!! :)

Hey Louanne - I too use sparkly stickers for those who reach the top. I added to that and when they get 5 stickers they get to "trade up" to another color of clip. They start with the plain wooden clip then get red, then orange, then yellow and so on. then I display these clips under a title on my magnetic cabinet that says "top notchers" Just as you said -- it is a huge HIT!!!!!!

Has anyone tried the new Winchester SX3 ?
A buddy of mine told me , before I buy a Berreta or Benelli semi-auto that I should check out one of these.
A little research shows it beat the Benelli users record for fire speed ... 12 clays in 1.442 seconds !!! I'm wondering how reliable they are , as well as easy to clean and durability. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2QPvuEk5dg Last edited by PetreTG; February 9, 2008 at 12:16 PM.

They are very reliable. I don't have one but my son does. As for cleaning, he does a once a year cleaning whether his guns need it or not. He hasn't torn his down yet but reports no reliability issues.

Thanks for the reply!
I'm surprised their aren't more opinions on the SX3's considering it's the gun that beat the best in exhibition shooting! I found an SX3 with nicely figured wood stock's and excellent buttstock pad for what I think is a great price. I noticed on the barrel it says they're being made by FN ! |

I have a 2003 SX-2 Waterfowl I bought used and it's a great gun. The SX-3's are almost identical to the 2's, just a bit lighter.

I put a few shells thru one a few months back - one of the guys at the range had one. I have a lot of shotguns, so I don't need anything and I wasn't impressed enough to order one .....but I didn't see anything in particular wrong with it ....except its a gas gun. The one this guy had was a composite stock and I think he said he paid about $1,000 for it.
It is fast - but I don't know that its any faster than the Benelli super sport / or if it is / I couldn't tell it - we were shooting skeet. For a semi-auto in 12 or 20ga I'll stick with my Benelli super sports. Mostly, I think the Benelli is a much cleaner shooting gun - handles my needs for going to Mexico or as a travel gun in general. |

Intestinal gas is a natural part of human digestion - it only becomes a problem when it makes itself known at the wrong time! Let's take a look at why you have intestinal gas and what you can do if you believe your body is producing too much of it.

How Much Gas Is Too Much?

I don't know how scientists came up with these numbers, but if you pass gas somewhere between 13 and 21 times a day, you are within the normal range. It seems a little silly to me for you to try to count how often you fart. What is more important is your relationship with your own body. If you believe your body is gassier than it should be, then you may want to make some changes based on the information below so as to reduce your gas level. Just keep in mind that the formation of intestinal gas is actually considered to be a good thing for the health of both your gut and your immune system. So while you might choose to completely avoid gassy foods for an important occasion, this is not something you want to do altogether.

Causes of Intestinal Gas

You may be reassured to know that there are only two primary causes of intestinal gas -- swallowed air and the bacterial breakdown of some substances found in certain kinds of foods. The following information should help you to pinpoint what might be causing the problem for you.

Swallowed Air

In the normal course of the day, we all swallow some air. This air is generally released through the process of burping or belching. However, this air can also make its way to the large intestine where it is released through the rectum as flatulence.

There are things that can cause a person to swallow more air than normal. If any of the following apply to you, you now have something to work on:

Eating or drinking too quickly

Drinking carbonated beverages

Gum chewing

Smoking: cigarettes, cigars and pipes

Sucking on hard candies

Poorly fitted dentures

Bacterial Breakdown

Some substances in the food that we eat are not well digested and absorbed by our bodies. When these substances, mainly carbohydrates like simple sugars and starches, arrive in our large intestines, they are acted upon by bacteria within our guts. The result of this breakdown is the release of gas. This gas is usually carbon dioxide, hydrogen, methane, and nitrogen. Although some of these gasses may be absorbed into the bloodstream and exhaled out, most of them are released through your anus.

The primary food components that can trigger the release of intestinal gas are:

 Fructose: This sugar is found in some fruits and vegetables as well as in many processed foods in the form of high fructose corn syrup. It is estimated that approximately one-third of the population has difficulty digesting and absorbing fructose, a condition called fructose malabsorption. However, eating too many fructose-containing foods in close proximity of one another can result in excessive intestinal gas even in people who do not have fructose malabsorption.

 Lactose: This sugar is found in milk and other dairy products. People who have lactose intolerance lack sufficient amounts of the enzyme lactase and thus are unable to digest lactose. When lactose is undigested, it becomes available to be acted upon by gut bacteria, with a subsequant release of gas.

 Raffinose: The high amount of this sugar in beans contributes to their well-earned gassy reputation. Raffinose is also found in vegetables such as cabbage and Brussels sprouts.

 Sorbitol: Sorbitol is naturally found in many fruits and is an artificial ingredient in many sugar-free food items. Sorbitol is classified as a polyol or sugar alcohol. Approximately half of the population are unable to absorb polyols.

What to Do for Intestinal Gas

Now that you have a sense of what might be causing you to experience excessive intestinal gas, you can take some steps to address the problem:

1. Reduce the amount of air that you swallow.

Review the common causes of excessive swallowed air above. Do any of them apply to you? If so, see if you can slowly break these habits.

2. Don't delay your bowel movements.

Are you one of those people who ignores the sensations to have a bowel movement until you get home? This might result in gas building up within the intestines causing pain and bloating. And when you do pass gas, it may be smellier as it is moving itself around the stool. Although you may be uncomfortable using public toilets, that is what they are there for, so use them!

3. Watch what you eat when you really, really need to be gas-free.

As I said before, intestinal gas is good for us! But for the days when it is extra important that you not be overly gassy, you can choose foods that are less likely to give you gas, and avoid those that have a reputation for being gassy. These two articles can serve as your guide:

Non Gassy Foods

Top Six Gassy Foods

4. Look into a supplement.

There are many over-the-counter supplements to choose from. Ask your pharmacist to guide you to the right one for you. Here are some options:

Probiotics

Lactase supplements

Beano

Simethicone products

5. Rule out an intolerance.

If you suspect that you may have lactose intolerance, fructose malabsorption, or a problem digesting sorbitol, you can try eliminating foods that contain these carbohydrates from your diet for a short period of time to assess the effects on your system. To keep things simple and to avoid unnecessary restriction, you should pick one class of foods at a time for elimination. You should know within two weeks if the restriction helped. It is also useful to "challenge" yourself with the restricted food to see if symptoms return. And once you have identified a trigger food for you, you can experiment with smaller amounts to see how much of the food you can tolerate without experiencing unpleasant amounts of gas.

6. Talk to your doctor.

If you suspect that your gas problem is really not normal, talk to your doctor about it. Your doctor can assess if there is some intestinal disorder that might be contributing to the problem. Excessive intestinal gas is typically not an indicator of a serious health condition, but it may be a symptom of either irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Obtaining an accurate diagnosis opens up potential treatment options, including the use of a prescription medication to reduce your gas. If you have IBS, you may find that following the low-FODMAP diet can also significantly reduce unwanted gas.

lol..yea it must be if that is what you are reduced to having to read...
I'd imagine there would be amnesty international complaints if that was the extent of the secular library at Gitmo.
That's just wrong, man.
I suppose if you don't want to fear death so much you should read such books.
LOL"I'm readin Miley Cyrus! For God's sake, somebody please SHOOT ME!"
Must be real hard-up for reading material.
Or this is the service's least private latrine and he's real hard up for TP.
Maybe he.... Oh I got nothing. Poor guy.
Yep the excuses for voluntarily reading such are about nil.
Believe me, the Library was not well stocked when I was there...
If that was the extent of the library it's amazing you're as sane as you are my friend.
I wound up watching a lot of bootleg movies with Russian subtitles.

ALEXA shines at 27th ASC awards
Roger Deakins, ASC, BSC claimed top honors in the feature film category at the 27th Annual American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) Awards for Outstanding Achievement, which was held Feb. 10 at the Grand Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland. SKYFALL was the first production to capture on ALEXA Studio cameras; the project also employed ALEXA Plus and M models supplied by ARRI Media in London.
Deakins was unable to attend the ceremony due to filming out of town. His wife James accepted the honor on his behalf, sharing the award with the dedicated crew of SKYFALL. He previously won ASC Awards for THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION (1995) and THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE (2002). His other ASC nominations include FARGO (1997), KUNDUN (1998), O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? (2001), NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN (2008), THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD (2008), REVOLUTIONARY ROAD (2009), THE READER (2009), and TRUE GRIT (2011). He also received the organization's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011.
Balazs Bolygo, HSC (Cinemax's HUNTED) and Kramer Morgenthau, ASC (HBO's GAME OF THRONES) had tied for the Outstanding Achievement Award in the one-hour television category. This is the first tie in ASC Awards history. Bolygo, a first-time ASC nominee, won for the "Mort" episode of HUNTED. He shot the winning episode using ALEXAs as well as an Arri 435 with shift and tilt lenses for the flashback sequences.
This is the first win for Morgenthau, who has been previously nominated for THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN (2005), LIFE ON MARS (2009) and BOARDWALK EMPIRE (2011). The award was for the GAME OF THRONES episode "The North Remembers," which Morgenthau captured on ALEXA. The episode shot in Ireland with equipment serviced by ARRI Media and ARRI Lighting Rental. The DP thanked HBO for "setting the bar so high and allowing me to do cinematic work in a television medium."
Other nominees in the one-hour television episodic series category were Christopher Manley, ASC for AMC's MAD MEN ("The Phantom"), David Moxness, CSC for FOX's FRINGE ("Letters of Transit"), Mike Spragg for Cinemax's STRIKE BACK (Episode 11) and David Stockton, ASC for FOX's ALCATRAZ (Pilot).
Oscar®-nominee Mary McDonnell presented the Television Movie/Miniseries Award to first-time ASC nominee Florian Hoffmeister for the PBS Masterpiece presentation of GREAT EXPECTATIONS.
The DP captured his work on ALEXA, employing a ProRes Log C workflow. Nominated along with Hoffmeister were Michael Goi, ASC for FX's AMERICAN HORROR STORY: ASYLUM ("I am Anne Frank: Part 2"), Arthur Reinhart for History Channel's HATFIELDS & MCCOYS, and Rogier Stoffers, ASC for HBO's HEMINGWAY & GELLHORN.
TWO BROKE GIRLS' Matthew Moy presented the half-hour television category award to Bradford Lipson, who was a first-time ASC nominee for the "Truth" episode of WILFRED. Nominated alongside Lipson were Ken Glassing for FOX's BEN AND KATE ("Guitar Face"), Goi for NBC's THE NEW NORMAL ("Pilot"), Peter Levy, ASC for Showtime's HOUSE OF LIES ("Gods of Dangerous Financial Instruments"), and Michael Price for ABC's HAPPY ENDINGS ("Four Weddings and a Funeral (Minus Three Weddings and One Funeral)").
Oscar®-winner Angelina Jolie presented the ASC Lifetime Achievement Award to Dean Semler, ASC, ACS who earned an Oscar® and an ASC Award for Kevin Costner's DANCES WITH WOLVES (1991). In 2007, his work on Mel Gibson's APOCALYPTO earned him a second ASC Award nomination. Semler's nearly 70 feature credits include such memorable films as CITY SLICKERS, LAST ACTION HERO, WATERWORLD, THE BONE COLLECTOR, WE WERE SOLDIERS, XXX, BRUCE ALMIGHTY, THE ALAMO, GET SMART, 2012, DATE NIGHT, SECRETARIAT, Jolie's directorial debut IN THE LAND OF BLOOD AND HONEY, PARENTAL GUIDANCE, and the upcoming MALEFICENT captured on ALEXAs supplied by Panavision.
The ASC International Award was presented to Robby Müller, NSC, BVK by director Steve McQueen and actress Nastassja Kinski who worked with him on the film PARIS, TEXAS.

Cal spends bye week taking stock after loss
Published 4:00 am, Thursday, September 18, 2008
In college football, more than any other revenue sport, a loss often calls for alarm and major renovation - because every game really does count for so much.
Amid a bye week and still somewhat stewing over Saturday's 35-27 loss to Maryland, Cal's hierarchy eschewed the idea of a negative postmortem. Without drawing on many of the normal coaching cliches and refusing to point fingers, the Bears believe the loss is just that: one nonconference loss.
Here's the state of the units:
Coach Jeff Tedford on the offense: "There are things that cost you football games - third-down conversions, red-zone opportunities, attention to detail and penalties. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how you fall short when those things go against you."
Defensive coordinator Bob Gregory: "It's never as complicated as it sounds. It's not physics, like the Nobel Prize winners are doing on this campus."
Special-teams coordinator Pete Alamar: "There's a sense of resolve, but there's no panic in any way."
Maybe more telling is the play on the field, which consisted of a number of bone-crushing hits Tuesday and Wednesday. None was more dramatic than a Worrell Williams hit on Peter Geurts in the backfield that literally made the coaches pause before calling the next play.
Gregory said Tuesday's practice was the best bye-week effort he has seen since arriving at Cal in 2002. The proof won't come until a Sept. 27 game against Colorado State, and there's plenty to fix in the meantime.
The offense has to start converting on third-down plays, according to Tedford, and can't forget the most dynamic player in the conference resides in its backfield. Cal was 2-for-11 on third downs against Maryland and called for passes on the final 25 plays, instead of handing the ball to Jahvid Best.
"Take your pick," Tedford said. "They took turns. One time it's a blown route, one time it's pressure, one time it's something else."
Redshirt freshman right tackle Mitchell Schwartz, who quickly is becoming a sensation for pancake blocks on YouTube, has moved to the left to protect sophomore quarterback Kevin Riley's blind side. Left tackle Chet Teofilo is manning the right side after being outmanned by Maryland.
The defense kind of gets a pass for limiting Michigan State running back Javon Ringer to 81 yards before he went for 417 yards and seven touchdowns the last two weeks. Still, Gregory didn't hide how Maryland had two 80-yard rushers Saturday.
"It's get back to the basics," Gregory said. "There's no need to scrap what we do. We've got to get better at what we do."
That means the defensive line and linebackers have to be fundamentally sound enough to fill the proper gaps, and that means the safeties have to erase the mistakes of the front seven. None of that, according to Gregory, happened against Maryland.
So is the case with the kick coverage, which has rewarded opponents great field position. Three different kickers have failed to boot the ball deep, and the rest of the unit fails to make up for the weakness.
"Obviously, our kick coverage is a work in progress," Alamar said. "... If I'm a basketball team that has a guy who's gunning and scoring 30, I've got a chance with four other schmoes. In football, you better have 11 guys who are doing their jobs right."
"We'll eliminate the mistakes."
Tedford has promised to take a more hand's-on approach with the defense and special teams this season. During Tuesday's special-teams periods, he moved cones within an inch of where he wanted them, watched each player intently and hit a padded Bernard Hicks with a block.
"Everything that went wrong in that game is within our control," Tedford said. "When you lose, you don't let it stick with you forever. You have to study it, learn from it and never let it happen again."

Third-down blues
According to Cal coach Jeff Tedford, the blame for the offense's third-down struggles (2-for-11 against Maryland) can be spread throughout the entire unit:
Situation | Play | Result |
3rd-and-9 | Cunningham hold negates 1st-down pass to Best | - |
3rd-and-10 | Teofilo allows Maryland's first sack of season | Failed |
3rd-and-9 | Deflected pass to Vereen for 2-yard loss | Failed |
3rd-goal-4 | Riley overthrows Jones | Failed |
3rd-and-4 | Riley overthrows Young | Failed |
3rd-and-7 | Malele misses block on Vereen 1-yard screen | Failed |
3rd-goal-8 | Seawright misses 25-yard field-goal try | - |
3rd-and-5 | Riley throws low and incomplete to Boateng | Failed |
3rd-and-11 | def. holding saves low pass to Boateng | - |
3rd-and-7 | Boateng 8-yard pass from Riley | Converted |
3rd-and-25 | coverage sack off Schwartz's side | Failed |
3rd-and-16 | Best 18 pass from scrambling Riley | Converted |
3rd-and-10 | Young 6 pass from Riley | Failed |
3rd-and-10 | Malele false start | - |
3rd-and-15 | Riley scrambles but misses receiver | Failed |
Note: Penalties and field-goal attempts are not counted as third-down attempts in official statistics.
Kick in the pants
Cal's kick coverage has been suspect from Week 1, but the unit reached a low against Maryland. Including three onside kicks, here's how the numbers look:
Kickoff length | MD starting point |
Seawright: 57 | MD 40 |
Kay: 59 | MD 39 |
Kay: 40 | MD 39 |
Seawright: 9 | Cal 39 |
Seawright: 11 | Cal 40 |
Seawright: 10 | Cal 40 |
Total: 21.0 | MD 49.8 |
The run defense that shut down Michigan State's Javon Ringer failed against Maryland on Saturday:
Opponent | Att-Yds |
Michigan State | 31-81 |
Washington State | 35-57 |
Maryland | 47-141 |

Rules named after players
Throughout the league's history, a number of rules have been enacted largely because of a single player's exploits on the field. The following is a partial list of such rule changes: the Adam Vinatieri Rule -- the clock stops immediately after a field goal is kicked through the uprights. Enacted in 2002 after the Patriots' kicker won Super Bowl XXXVI on a last second kick that went through with three seconds remaining on the clock. The clock didn't stop and New England won. the Bronko Nagurski Rule -- forward passing made legal from anywhere behind the line of scrimmage. Enacted in 1933. Prior to this rule change a player had to be five yards behind the line of scrimmage to throw a forward pass. the Deacon Jones Rule -- no head-slapping. Enacted in 1977. the Deion Sanders rule -- Player salary rule which correlates a contract's signing bonus with its yearly salary. Enacted after Deion Sanders signed with the Dallas Cowboys in 1995 for a minimum salary and a $13 million signing bonus. (There is also a college football rule with this nickname.) the Emmitt Smith Rule -- no taking your helmet off on the field of play. Enacted in 1997. the Erik Williams rule -- no hands to the facemask by offensive linemen. the Fran Tarkenton rule -- a line judge was added as the sixth official to ensure that a back was indeed behind the line of scrimmage before throwing a forward pass. Enacted in 1965. the Jerome Bettis rule -- the coin toss must be called before the coin is tossed. Enacted immediately after an incident during the 1998 Thanksgiving Day game between the Steelers and Lions. the Ken Stabler rule -- on fourth down or any down in the final two-minutes of play, if a player fumbles, only the fumbling player can recover and/or advance the ball. A Defensive player can recover and advance at any time of play.Enacted in 1979. the Lester Hayes rule -- no Stickumâ"¢ allowed. Enacted in 1981. the Lou Groza rule -- no artificial medium to assist in the execution of a kick. Enacted in 1956. the Mel Blount rule -- Officially known as defensive pass interference, defensive backs can only make contact with receivers within five yards of the line of scrimmage. Enacted in current form in 1978. the Mel Renfro rule -- allows a second player on the offense to catch a tipped ball, without a defender subsequentlly touching it. Enacted in 1978. the Michael Irvin rule -- no taunting. Another rule, resulting in offensive pass interference, prohibiting WRs to push off CBs, is also often called "the Michael Irvin rule." the Bert Emanuel rule -- the ball can touch the ground during a completed pass as long as the receiver maintains control of the ball. Enacted due to a play in the 1999 NFC Championship Game, where Emanuel, playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a catch ruled incomplete since the ball touched the ground. the Terrell Owens rule -- no "foreign objects" on a player's uniform (enacted in response to the 2002 "Sharpieâ"¢ incident"). the Peyton Manning rule -- basically more emphasis on the Mel Blount rule after the New England Patriots committed several uncalled pass interference penalties in the 2003 AFC Championship game against the Indianapolis Colts. the Roy Williams rule -- no horse-collar tackles. Enacted in 2005 when Williams broke Terrell Owens' leg on a horse collar tackle. See |

Chainstore paradox
The chainstore paradox (or "chain-Store paradox") is a concept that purports to refute standard game theory reasoning.
The chain store game[edit]
A monopolist (Player A) has branches in 20 towns. He faces 20 potential competitors, one in each town, who will be able to choose in or out. They do so in sequential order and one at a time. If a potential competitor chooses out, he receives a payoff of 1, while A receives a payoff of 5. If he chooses in, he will receive a payoff of either 2 or 0, depending on the response of Player A to his action. Player A, in response to a choice of in, must choose one of two pricing strategies, cooperative or aggressive. If he chooses cooperative, both player A and the competitor receive a payoff of 2, and if A chooses aggressive, each player receives a payoff of 0.
These outcomes lead to two theories for the game, the induction (game theoretically correct version) and the deterrence theory (weakly dominated theory):
Induction theory[edit]
Consider the decision to be made by the 20th and final competitor, of whether to choose in or out. He knows that if he chooses in, Player A receives a higher payoff from choosing cooperate than aggressive, and being the last period of the game, there are no longer any future competitors whom Player A needs to intimidate from the market. Knowing this, the 20th competitor enters the market, and Player A will cooperate (receiving a payoff of 2 instead of 0).
The outcome in the final period is set in stone, so to speak. Now consider period 19, and the potential competitor's decision. He knows that A will cooperate in the next period, regardless of what happens in period 19. Thus, if player 19 enters, an aggressive strategy will be unable to deter player 20 from entering. Player 19 knows this and chooses in. Player A chooses cooperate.
Of course, this process of backward induction holds all the way back to the first competitor. Each potential competitor chooses in, and Player A always cooperates. A receives a payoff of 40 (2×20) and each competitor receives 2.
Deterrence theory[edit]
This theory states that Player A will be able to get payoff of higher than 40. Suppose Player A finds the induction argument convincing. He will decide how many periods at the end to play such a strategy, say 3. In periods 1–17, he will decide to always be aggressive against the choice of IN. If all of the potential competitors know this, it is unlikely potential competitors 1–17 will bother the chain store, thus risking the safe payout of 1 ("A" will not retaliate if they choose "out"). If a few do test the chain store early in the game, and see that they are greeted with the aggressive strategy, the rest of the competitors are likely not to test any further. Assuming all 17 are deterred, Player A receives 91 (17×5 + 2×3). Even if as many as 10 competitors enter and test Player A's will, Player A will still receive a payoff of 41 (10×0+ 7×5 + 3×2), which is better than the induction (game theoretically correct) payoff.
The chain store paradox[edit]
If Player A follows the game theory payoff matrix to achieve the optimal payoff, he or she will have a lower payoff than with the "deterrence" strategy. This creates an apparent game theory paradox: game theory states that induction strategy should be optimal, but it looks like "deterrence strategy" is optimal instead.
The "deterrence strategy" is not a Nash equilibrium: It relies on the non-credible threat of responding to in with aggressive. A rational player will not carry out a non-credible threat, but the paradox is that it nevertheless seems to benefit Player A to carry out the threat.
Selten's response[edit]
Reinhard Selten's response to this apparent paradox is to argue that the idea of "deterrence", while irrational by the standards of Game Theory, is in fact an acceptable idea by the rationality that individuals actually employ. Selten argues that individuals can make decisions of three levels: Routine, Imagination, and Reasoning.
Complete information?[edit]
Game theory is based on the idea that each matrix is modeled with the assumption of complete information: that "every player knows the payoffs and strategies available to other players," where the word "payoff" is descriptive of behavior—what the player is trying to maximize. If, in the first town, the competitor enters and the monopolist is aggressive, the second competitor has observed that the monopolist is not, from the standpoint of common knowledge of payoffs and strategies, maximizing the assumed payoffs; expecting the monopolist to do so in this town seems dubious.
If competitors place even a very small probability on the possibility that the monopolist is spiteful, and places intrinsic value on being (or appearing) aggressive, and the monopolist knows this, then even if the monopolist has payoffs as described above, responding to entry in an early town with aggression will may be optimal if it increases the probability that later competitors place on the monopolist's being spiteful.
Selten's levels of decision making[edit]
The routine level[edit]
The individuals use their past experience of the results of decisions to guide their response to choices in the present. "The underlying criteria of similarity between decision situations are crude and sometimes inadequate". (Selten)
The imagination level[edit]
The individual tries to visualize how the selection of different alternatives may influence the probable course of future events. This level employs the routine level within the procedural decisions. This method is similar to a computer simulation.
The reasoning level[edit]
The individual makes a conscious effort to analyze the situation in a rational way, using both past experience and logical thinking. This mode of decision uses simplified models whose assumptions are products of imagination, and is the only method of reasoning permitted and expected by game theory.
Decision-making process[edit]
The predecision[edit]
One chooses which method (routine, imagination or reasoning) to use for the problem, and this decision itself is made on the routine level.
The final decision[edit]
Depending on which level is selected, the individual begins the decision procedure. The individual then arrives at a (possibly different) decision for each level available (if we have chosen imagination, we would arrive at a routine decision and possible and imagination decision). Selten argues that individuals can always reach a routine decision, but perhaps not the higher levels. Once the individuals have all their levels of decision, they can decide which answer to use...the Final Decision. The final decision is made on the routine level and governs actual behavior.
The economy of decision effort[edit]
Decision effort is a scarce commodity, being both time consuming and mentally taxing. Reasoning is more costly than Imagination, which, in turn is more costly than Routine. The highest level activated is not always the most accurate since the individual may be able to reach a good decision on the routine level, but makes serious computational mistakes on higher levels, especially Reasoning.
Selten finally argues that strategic decisions, like those made by the monopolist in the chainstore paradox, are generally made on the level of Imagination, where deterrence is a reality, due to the complexity of Reasoning, and the great inferiority of Routine (it does not allow the individual to see herself in the other player's position). Since Imagination cannot be used to visualize more than a few stages of an extensive form game (like the Chain-store game) individuals break down games into "the beginning" and "towards the end". Here, deterrence is a reality, since it is reasonable "in the beginning", yet is not convincing "towards the end".

I would like to nominate my mother, Bonnie Fitzgerald, for the Owen County Mother of the Year. My mom was born July 26, 1943, to Porter and Christine Osborne. She was the oldest of seven children. She lost a brother in Vietnam in 1969. This was something the family never quite got over.
Meet Charlie Moormon. The slender, whiskered gentleman from the Cincinnati Museum Center presented a program on riverboats at the historical society meeting July 12. His love of the river and the steamboats which once crowded its expanse was evident as he relived the early days of steam powered boats and the vital role they played in the history of America.
Signs of the world's longest yard sale are already popping up throughout Owen County and community leaders are hoping the bargain hunters will spend some of their money here. The 127 Corridor Sale will kick off Aug. 2 and run through Aug. 5. Owen County Chamber of Commerce President Dallas Stafford said the sale is something he doesn't feel Owen countians have taken full advantage of.
An Owenton man is being charged with first-degree burglary after he allegedly climbed into a residence through a ceiling and busted a hole into it. Isaac L. Goemaat, 18, is also being charged with receiving stolen property under $10,000, carrying a concealed deadly weapon and receiving stolen property firearm and second-degree criminal mischief. According to records obtained from the Owen County Circuit Clerk's office, Goemaat was caught on video entering a residence on Hawk View Lane and exiting on a dirt bike.
BY MOLLY HAINES N-H Staff Writer Some may remember her as a school bus driver, others as an Owen County School District cafeteria worker, or cheering on Owen County's many sports -- but this year everyone will know Bonnie Fitzgerald as Owen County Mother of the Year. Fitzgerald received the honor July 18 at the Owen County 4-H Fair and Horse Show. The award came as a surprise to Fitzgerald, who said she almost didn't make it to the fair that night.
Fresh out of college in 1970, Maurice Bowling Middle School Principal Jo Ella Wallace came to Owen County as a health and physical education teacher. Forty-two years later Wallace is one of the most celebrated educators around and has been awarded Owen Countian of the Year by the Owenton Rotary Club. The award came as a shock to Wallace, who said she had been tricked into attending the fair by Billie Jo Ashcraft.
With Owen County having so many telephone exchanges and cell towers, it is difficult for emergency dispatch to know exactly where the emergency may be, according to Owen County Judge-executive Carolyn Keith. When an Owen County resident calls 911, they are urged to give their name, number, address, address of the emergency and a description of the emergency to the dispatcher. Keith also said let the dispatcher know the county you are in so they can make sure they get the right responder to the emergency.
Graduation is always an exciting milestone for those who reach it. For GED graduates, it is more than a milestone. It is an overcoming of many obstacles and a place of new beginnings. On June 24, 24 Owen County adults had the opportunity to walk across the stage to receive their long-awaited certificate of completion for a job well done. As several students shared their stories the audience had an opportunity to hear first-hand that regardless of age, background, national origin or obstacles, the goal of an education is attainable.
It is time for the Penn State football program, much like their former defensive coordinator, to go away. It has been a very unhappy year in a place called Happy Valley and Penn State staff has no one to blame but themselves.

What I did
haircuts. gamble. trump tower. exploring.
Knowledge drop: Casco Viejo is the old town area of Panama City. It was built when the original city was destroyed and raided by pirates of the famous Captain Henry Morgan, who was looking for the riches stolen from Central/South America by the Spaniards. The city was moved to an isolated peninsula that would more easily protected by its isolation and constructed defensive walls and now lies opposite the bay of the new largely developed Panama City.
Casco Viejo is filled with rundown buildings which have been forgotten and are now inhabited by moss, vines and rodents. sandwiched between them are newly polished cafes and small hotels. street markets selling everything from fresh fruit, hair picks, bowie knives and granny panties. transportation is supped up school buses with dramatic mufflers off the back and a neon colored graffiti paint job while crazy bass bumping music pours out the open windows. truly a sight for the eyes.
walking downtown Panama City we found ourselves a mall. Popeyes Chicken. and a Casino. NOW you must know that Scotty and i are NOT GAMBLERS. we feel more comfortable taking our five dollar bet to buy a smoothie so at least we know we are getting something for it. HOWEVER we got stuck in an afternoon storm. hell, let's wait it out at the MAJESTIC CASINO. it is no Vegas. BUT for some reason i felt the itch and we found ourselves seated at the fifty CENT minimum table. HA. we decide that we can risk five dollars and as soon as we lose one round, JUST ONE ROUND we walk away. you have to understand that the five dollars is our dinner budget. this was a big risk we were taking.
slide our money across the table. dealer yells, exchanging five. HA! we get ready to place fifty cents on red when the dealer kindly informs us that in order to make the red/black/odd/even bets it's a five dollar minimum. ouch. laid fifty cents on the number four. quickest fifty cents i've ever lost. double ouch. OKAY let's be a big kid about this. FIVE DOLLARS ON RED. go big or go home, right?! dealer spins. ball is dropped. tinkers around for a bit...RED! we doubled our money. BOOM! we play like this for five more rounds. odd. red. even. black. we are hootin and hollering. fist pumping. saying things like, show me the money and are up THIRTY dollars when we hit our first wrong guess. rules are rules. we took our chips, feelin like absolute ballers and cashed out for a whopping TWENTY FIVE dollars.
walking on air we treated ourselves to a drink at Trump Tower. thirteenth floor infinity pool bar with the most amazing view. paid for a cab ride home while belting out Totally Clipse of a Heart with the driver. and finished off the night by ordering a pizza. it was the BEST TWENTY FIVE dollars ever spent. cheers to Majestic.
visiting the canal...was one big mess after another. we went on a Monday morning but upon arrival found out that the visitors center was closed for cleaning. HOWEVER the restaurant was open and you could get a viewing from there. cab should have cost us six dollars but he was set on ten. GRR. OK, since we're hewe were already there we might as well check out the restaurant. we quickly realized that this was not just a restaurant. more like a white table clothed club house. they assure us that our tank tops. shorts. and flip flops are appropriate dress attire but as they show us to our table and we see pastel collared dress shirts. slacks. and penny loafers we instantly feel out of place. the next ships coming through weren't for another hour so we had no choice but to eat. thirty dollars each for the buffet and a two and a half hours later a ship finally came through. as you can imagine by that time we had ATE like KINGS.
it is a forty eight mile ship canal in Panama that joins the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean and is a key conduit for international maritime trade. built from 1904 to 1914, annual traffic is fifteen thousand vessels. it's crazy to see these massive cruise ships and tankers squeezing through the three locks. literally. ships are built to the size of the canal so that they can pass through but they only leave a foot on each side of room. and when it's all said and done it takes eight hours for the ship to pass from one side to the other. CRAZY!
Fun Facts:
-Scotty needed a haircut. luckily for him, barbershops line the streets in the Cinco de Mayo district. i use the term barbershop loosely. we are talking a chair. and a barber. NOW Panamanians must have the freshest dos in all of the world because the seats are always full and someone waiting in line. it took all of fifteen minutes for him to be buzzed and edged out. looked great only he felt he had a black man's haircut. super clean forehead line brought way back.
-Trump Tower: the pool attendants lay out the towel on your lounge chair for you. Trumps got his A game on at all times.
-friendship bracelets: to pass time we have bought string to make bracelets. Scotty is a traveler and now makes pretty bracelets. ha!
-markets: meat and fruit are sold by the masses in separate markets.
Big Cat is looking sharp!! Big upgrade :)
I'm going to be in Puerto Vallarta from Oct 11-18th if you want to stop by. First Corona is on me!!!
Hey Lynnssey, Lily has been sharing your travelog which I have been thoroughly enjoying. Hope you can bring me back some of those granny panties they were selling at the market!! Ha! Next time, take Lily on one of your travel adventures -- Travel seems to suit you and Scotty. Guess that's the ultimate test; so now what??!! Love, Corinne Passavant

This old Rexall glass Baby Oil bottle is from Rexall Drug Company in the early 1960's. It is a 10 oz. glass bottle. It has the number 6 on the bottom in one corner. It has the certificate on the front label showing "Commended by Parents' Magazine". It has a handwritten price of 89¢ on the front label. The label is all intact. It does not have a back label on the back of the bottle, just writing on the back of the front label, therefore, it was hard to get a good picture of it. The bottle measures approx. 7 1/2" tall, including lid; 3" wide at the widest part; and 1 1/2" deep (front to back). It is in excellent condition. $5.00

AMD teams up with BlueStacks
To bring Android apps to Windows
AMD has joined forces with BlueStacks in an effort to bring Android apps to Windows tablets. BlueStacks is the outfit behind Android App Player, a Windows app that enables users to run Android apps on tablets.
Since AMD is not in the ARM game, it could obviously benefit from bringing some popular Android apps to Windows, allowing users to play a few levels of Bad Piggies on Hondo tablets.
However, apps have to be vetted before users can take end up on the AMD AppZone, but it is also possible to install other applications.
The BlueStacks Android Player will also run on Windows 7 and Windows 8 PCs, and it even supports Windows XP.
In the long run, the possibility of running Android apps could be very interesting for consumers thinking about getting a Windows 8 tablet, as it will combine Microsoft's unmatched enterprise solutions with fun and popular Android apps. Provided the whole thing works as advertised, of course.

Nobody has won three big tournaments in a row
Spain will play the final of the European Championship this Sunday with an almost majestic challenge. If it wins, it will become the first international side to win three big tournaments in a row, where a big tournament is taken to mean a World Cup, European Championship or Copa América.
So far, no team has achieved the treble. Germany came ever so close in 1976, but lost against Czechoslovakia on penalties in the European Championship final played in Yugoslavia that year. The game had ended 2-2, but the Czechs won 5-3 on penalties with that famous strike by Panenka. Previously, the Germans had won Euro 1972 in Belgium and the '74 World Cup played on their home turf.
France won the double with the '98 World Cup and Euro 2000, but crashed out in the first round of the Korea and Japan World Cup in 2002.
In America, only Brazil has managed to win two big tournaments back to back. La Canarinha won the Copa América in 2004, played in Peru, after winning the 2002 World Cup, but then lost in the quarterfinals of the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
Another championship title for Spain would also put it level with Germany, one of its possible opponents, with three Euro triumphs.

Wir waren mit 6 Personen für zwei Wochen in diesem sehr schönen Haus. Das Haus hat alles was wir benötigten. Durch den netten Kontakt zur Besitzerin war das Ankommen und Abreisen sehr entspannt und erholsam. Die Lage war für uns perfekt. Nahe zum nächsten Biosupermarkt und nahe zu den schönsten Stränden. Wir fühlten uns sehr sicher und zuhause. Die Eigentümerin hat uns sogar noch einen zweiten Fernseher für unsere Kid's vorbei gebracht. Einfach klasse. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit in Deinem Haus. Lieben Gruß Familie Horn

This is an ideal rental property for families like ours (3 kids - my brother's family of four stayed in Anne's other house close-by) It is SPOTLESS CLEAN, tastefully furnished and decorated and very (!!) thoughtfully equipped with everything that we could want. Beds with (wonderful) linen were so comfortable, kitchen and pool were great, we all loved it and stayed at the house way more than usually! House is located in a quiet secure and excellent neighborhood. The renting process was smooth and very friendly, we received a lot of information upfront, the helpful housekeeper Bill was a gem – excellent communication, just can RECOMMEND IT!

Rooibos going ice-skating - also: polka-dot and stripe action ;) |
Not much surprise there, I'm pretty short and square (well, rectangular). I am kind of surprised that my body proportions seem to be rather well balanced. Apart from the fact that I'm 7 instead of 8 heads tall (which seems to make me petite, even though I'm 5'5"/164cm), my top-to-hip length is equal to my hip-to-feet length, making my body balanced overall. I'm missing half a head length around my waist and in my thigh length, which seems to make me "balanced with a short mid-body" - which is also the reason why I don't have a small waist and will never have one. There is only about 3 inches space between the bottom of my ribcage and the top of my hip bone - not much space for a waist to dip in.
It's actually kind of interesting to know, even though it doesn't tell me a lot of new things. I had already figured out that my garments need to be close-fitting right below the bust, that gathers along my true waist as well as waist-high skirts and trousers are mostly out, and that skirts work best around knee-length or slightly shorter. This confirms it in a very tangible way, though, so I will try to keep possible alterations (like raising the waistline of a dress to the midriff) in mind.
I've already printed out a few copies of my croquis to get sketching. Hehe, this is going to be fun! (Even though the weather has now turned bad *just* when I was getting in the mood for spring dresses!)
Are you planning on making a croquis? Have you already made one? Has it helped you, style wise?
Hope you have a lovely week!

Hatebreed Live Dominance DVD By Peter Atkinson, Contributor Wednesday, September 17, 2008 @ 10:53 PM
If nothing else, Hatebreed have stuck to their guns, evenly fusing manic thrash and bludgeoning, hook-laden hardcore instead of embracing the breakdowns, Cookie monster vocals and other death metal trappings, bipolar clean/scream singing or widdly-twiddly instrumental jackoffery that everyone else has pounced on in the name of being "different." And say what you will about the band — or more specifically overbearing and overexposed frontman Jamey Jasta — after 14 years, they are obviously doing something right.
Hatebreed's new two-disc DVD, Live Dominance, which just topped Billboard's music DVD chart, offers ample evidence of that. Capturing a full, 80-minute set at Harpo's, a warehouse-sized club in Detroit, it shows that single-minded, snub-nosed brutality can make a crowd go apeshit like little else — a lesson Hatebreed surely learned opening for Slayer, the masters of just such a battle plan.
The Harpo's pit — or more precisely pits — looks like a demolition derby from the time the band let loose with "This Is Now," thanks to the propulsive riffs of Frank "III Gun" Novinec and Sean Martin, and the bracing, moshable rhythms of Chris Beattie and Matt Byrne. The more furious, full-on hardcore of "Straight To Your Face" and "Smash Your Enemies" are played against the crunchier "Destroy Everything," "I Live For This" and "Never Let It Die" to great effect, ensuring the energy never lags — at least so long as the band is playing.
Jasta, however, provides ample time for people to lick their wounds or catch their breath between songs with his long-winded recitations on nearly every track's "meaning," exhortations for sing-alongs or numerous kissings of the crowd's collective ass — an ass that hardly needed kissing given how amped they seemed from the get-go. Though often awkward and soft-spoken as the host of Headbangers Ball, Jasta is genuinely a commanding frontman. I just wish he'd sing — well, really, holler — more and talk less in concert because there is nothing more tedious than hearing "Let me fucking hear you!" for the 20th time during a set.
Despite this, Dominance delivers more than enough power and aggression to satisfy. The band themselves are lockstep tight, and obviously cruisin' for a bruising' here. And the DVD's brash, full sound and frantic visuals nicely capture the show's energy and volume, and, at times, literally put you in the middle of the pit — which on this night, was a pretty dangerous place.
Given all the jawing Jasta does onstage, much of the extra interview footage on the "documentary" DVD hardly seems necessary, as it's essentially variations on the same theme. And for those perhaps hoping for the usual titties and beer backstage hijinx montage, you'll have to look elsewhere. Instead, you'll get camera-eye shots of the band's tour bus arriving at the venue and sweaty dudes in the crew setting up the stage and fiddling with the lighting rig. Not very titillating, that.

Black Forest Trail
Black Forest Trail | |
Canyon Vista on the Black Forest Trail (note orange tail blazes)
Length | 42 mi (68 km) |
Location | Tiadaghton State Forest, Pennsylvania, United States |
Trailheads | Slate Run, Pennsylvania |
Use | Hiking |
Hiking details | |
Trail difficulty | Strenuous |
Season | Year-round |
Sights | Vistas, Pine Creek Gorge |
Hazards | Severe Weather, Poison ivy, Bears, Rattlesnakes, Ticks |
The Black Forest Trail is a 42-mile (68 km) loop trail that resides in Pennsylvania's Tiadaghton State Forest in parts of Lycoming, Potter, and Clinton Counties. Many other forest roads, hiking, and cross country ski trails cross the Black Forest Trail making it possible to do shorter loops for day hikes or shorter backpacking trips. The Black Forest Trail is known for many steep ascents and descents as well as spectacular views of the Pine Creek Gorge and other canyons to the west.
As with most long-distance trails in Pennsylvania, the BFT is blazed with orange. Side trails are blazed blue.
The official start of the trail is a short distance from the village of Slate Run (off of Pennsylvania Route 414) on Slate Run Road. The trail can also be accessed from Pennsylvania Route 44, which it crosses twice, north of Waterville, Pennsylvania. In addition the trail crosses several dirt forest roads.
This is a brief description starting counter-clockwise from the main trailhead at Slate Run. From the trailhead you walk a very short while through a pine plantation. The beginning of the trail crosses the Slate Run stream which is about 30 feet (9 m) wide and has a new foot bridge dedicated on October 24, 2014. You then climb about 1,000 feet (300 m) in a mile and a half. Part way up you come across an old quarry that offers spectacular views of the valley carved by Slate Run Creek. Then next several miles explore the plateau that is the Alcinda wilderness area. This section is generally level. About mile 6 (km 9.7) you descend along the Red Run, passing several nice campsites (including one at the top of the plateau before you descend), finally recrossing the Slate Run around mile 8 (km 13). You then are greeted with another gradual 1,000 feet (300 m) climb, part of which is on an old logging road. The trail once again follows the plateau to the west, with level hiking for the next several miles. The Sentiero Di Shay ski trail cross the BFT twice in this section and can be used to make alternative loops. Around the 13-mile (21 km) mark you cross Pennsylvania Route 44 in a beautiful stand of hemlocks. The trail slowly descends and for the next several miles and follows the County Line Branch stream. This section has many water crossings that can be difficult in high water; campsites can be found in this section with the nicest being around mile 17 (km 27) before you climb out of the valley.
Around mile 17 (km 27) the trail makes a steep climb to the plateau again. For the next 6 miles (9.7 km) the trail follows the plateau with views to the west. The hiking in this section is generally mostly level with a few minor climbs, as well as several nice campsites, especially around mile 21 (km 34). This section of trail also crosses several cross country ski trails that can be used to access Pennsylvania Route 44. Finally around mile 24 (km 39) the BFT recrosses Pennsylvania Route 44. Following the crossing you have another couple miles of level hiking before taking on the much more rugged eastern section of the trail. Around mile 26 (km 42) the trail drops down to Callahan Run (with camping at the bottom), one of many runs that flow into Pine Creek. After dropping down you immediately climb back up (this is the general pattern for the rest of the trail). After climbing up the trail heads to Hemlock Mountain. At the top around mile 29 (km 47) there is a wonderful, dry, mountaintop campsite with spectacular views of Pine Creek. Once again you drop down to Naval Run (nice large campsite at the bottom) and follow this for a little less than a mile before climb again up to the plateau. This particular climb has many outstanding views.
Hazards on the trail include the Timber Rattlesnake which are found in reasonable numbers in the area. Although the chances of getting bitten are small, as a matter of caution hikers should pay attention to where they place their hands and feet,especially when scrambling over rock. The trail also includes several very steep climbs. Hikers should be certain they are in the proper physical shape to handle the strenuous terrain. Finally the trail has many unbridged stream crossings, especially on the County Line Branch stream. In periods of high water some crossings require fording. Alternative footwear for crossing streams and other possible water crossings is advisable.

Sara Evans and Travis Portz, both of St. Elmo, were united in marriage in a 3 p.m. ceremony on Saturday, June 11, 2011, at First Baptist Church in Brownstown, with the Revs. Olen Evans and Rob Gallion officiating.
The student council at St. Elmo Junior-Senior High marked the 10-year anniversary on the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks by creating a sign with styrofoam cups on the west side of the school.
Fayette County is on the forefront in the nation's move toward clean coal. Willow Grove Carbon Solutions, the nation's leading carbon dioxide storage project development company, is developing a carbon dioxide storage project in the Loudon area, roughly between St. Elmo and Beecher City. Why Is It Happening in Fayette County? Fayette County is one of the best places in the entire country to store carbon dioxide. A large geological formation, known as the Loudon anticline, covers some 25,000 acres of northeastern Fayette County.
Dry conditions persisted across the state last week. Precipitation was below normal in all districts, for an average of 0.35 inches state-wide, 0.34 inches below average. Temperatures were also below normal averaging 63.1 degrees for the state. The norm for the week is 69.9 degrees. There were 6.3 days suitable for fieldwork.
The Illinois Field Office of NASS this week released the USDA's September Crop Production Report. Highlights of the report include: ILLINOIS The 2011 Illinois corn crop is expected to yield 161 bushels per acre, down 9 bushels from the August forecast. The yield is down as a result of the exceptionally hot weather experienced while much of the crop was in the pollination stage. Production of corn for grain would be 1.98 billion bushels, up 2 percent from 2010.
Bruce Wright, left, and Matthew Wright, right, were presented with two awards for outstanding sales and service of crop insurance by Leigh Lamb, center, the regional marketing manager of Diversified Services.
Bruce Wright, who owns Bruce Wright Insurance of Vandalia, now qualifies for the Heavy Hitters Club.
Fayette County farmers can expect to see corn and soybean yields lower than what they experienced last year, if last Thursday's crop survey is any indication.
EIU band at Vandals' game on Friday
The Eastern Illinois University marching band, which includes two recent Vandalia Community High School graduates, will perform at the Vandals' varsity football game this Friday. Maggie Childers, who plays the mellophone, and Alexa Campbell, who plays the trumpet, will be a part of the EIU Marching Panthers' pregame performance. The EIU band will sit with the VCHS band until halftime, then perform two songs with the band at halftime.

Yorkshire secured their first point of the season by advancing to 219-4 from 65 overs at tea on the first day of their LV= County Championship match against Somerset at Taunton.
The hosts' bowling attack looked rusty before lunch but they were far better during the day's second session, particularly at the start.
Craig Meschede trapped Andrew Gale lbw for 24 in the third over of the session – the 36th – before Meschede and Lewis Gregory bowled four successive maidens between the 39th and 42nd overs.
Adam Lyth missed out on his third Championship hundred on this ground when, on 85, he pulled a Craig Overton short ball to mid-wicket, where Gregory took a stunning one-handed catch diving to his right, leaving the score at 179-4 in the 51st over.
Gary Ballance took 25 balls to get off the mark but he has looked in good order on the way to 44 not out, while Adil Rashid resumed this afternoon on 22. They had shared 40 for the fifth wicket by the interval.

A lovely card by Jacquie Lawson I got from Lucille!
It is especially wonderful to see it played on my Kindle Fire. You can't do this on the iPad because it uses Flash technology.
Now I wonder how my inspirational flash movies will appear. I am optimistic.
Just read earlier from CNet how well the Kindle Fire is selling. It is even causing people to avoid buying the iPad.
To track some personally noteworthy events, observations and thoughts, letting them age and savor/regret them again a long time later.

OMG who doesn't love sticky buns?! I am a huge fan. Well the other day my friend Kelsey and I decided to make them for brunch and it was wonderful. I am so glad we had these. They were fabulous!
Sunday Supper is a group of bloggers who are on a mission to bring back supper around the family table in every home. This week Isabel at Family Foodie is hosting and the theme is Holiday Cookie Exchange!
I love biscotti! And I recently found this wonderful recipe with peppermint and candy canes. What could be more perfect for the holidays! I love candy canes and always use them to stir my hot chocolate so this is just too much. Now I can stir my hot chocolate with biscotti! So much chocolate 🙂
SundaySupper is a group of bloggers who are on a mission to bring back supper around the family table in every home. This week Nicole at The Daily Dish Recipes is hosting and the theme is What to do with Thanksgiving Leftovers?
I love Thanksgiving dinner. We always have family favorites and it is so good. We normally have leftovers, but my family usually eats the leftovers just like they are. We don't make new dishes out of them. So for this Sunday Supper I had to do a little investigating to see what we could make.
I was given this recipe by a really good friend of mine. I love getting handwritten recipes from people. It feels so authentic and personal to me. These are recipes that people share with their loved ones. And then they took the time to sit down and write it. I adore handwriting. Mine is not the best, but if I write very slowly I can produce something I am proud to share. Also, since people so rarely give handwritten recipes anymore, it feel extra special to me!
We had friendsgiving last weekend. It was awesome, albeit small. But the people who did come were awesome and the food was great. Really what more can you ask for?
#SundaySupper is a group of bloggers who are on a mission to bring back super around the family table in every home. This week Susan at The Girl in the Little Red Kitchen is hosting and the theme is dishes that keep you warm.
I have a wonderful book called The Soup Bible. When sunday supper decided on this theme I went straight for that book. There is a section called winter warming soup! Perfect! I want to try all of them, but this one really stuck out to me. It has a rather interesting process. It is very simple. However, it gets unique at the end. You ladle the soup into single serving bowls and then crack an egg into it and put bread on top of that and bake it for a few minutes to poach the egg. It's brilliant and makes for a full meal.
November is #cranberrylove month!!! I am hosting this month. In the past I have participaped in #figlove, #peachlove, #tomatolove, #icecreamlove, #pastalove, #berrylove, #greenslove, #chocolatelove.
I have been dying to make an upside down cake! So, when I was looking for recipes for this month's love blog hop and stumbled upon a cranberry upside down cake- I was hooked! I also love bundt cakes, so I decided to put the cake in my bundt cake mold. It makes everything prettier. Don't you think?
I love soup!!! And I have never made anything with real pumpkin. Therefore, last time I went to the farmer's market I decided to buy one. For some reason I was really nervous about cooking with a real pumpkin, but it was so easy! Just like squash, except bigger. I don't know what else I am going to make with pumpkin. But, I definitely am going to use it more this fall!
#SundaySupper is a group of bloggers who are on a mission to bring back supper around the family table in every home. This week the theme is comfort food.
Whenever I think of comfort food I always think of soup. Soup always makes things better. If I have a cold or if I am homesick I want soup. Soup always makes me feel better; always warms my soul. I use to have to go out for soup. But I am working on it. I have been collecting soup recipes and slowly but surely attempting to make them. Some times they are horrible, but lately I have been making some really delicious soup!!!
