Great end to a great series. I thought the author did a great job keeping the plot moving. I also liked the voice of the reader. I only wish that the book had more detail at the end. In the final moments of the book Katnis is unconscious for a while and many big important conclusive events take place that I wish were expressed in more detail.Read More
Perfect ending to the trilogy!! Great series of books, I loved it.Read More
Overstock handled this purchase beautifully. The item was shipped quickly and in excellent shape when I received it. However, I'm sorely disappointed with the story. The first 2 series of the "Hunger Games" were great. This one is dragging and I find myself now fast forwarding it and finding that not much changed from where it was. Really disappointed in the story.Read More

Make Your Own Party Mixby Dana Angelo White in Healthy Recipes, September 7, 2012
Party mix used to be something you made at home (often using a recipe on the side of the Chex box), but nowadays you can find packages of crunchy cereal mixes at any gas station. We're going old school and making our own, but with a healthier spin.
Nutrition Facts
Along with convenience comes preservatives — packaged sweet cereal mixes have multiple sources of added sugars, not to mention a lengthy list of artificial flavors and preservatives and even some trans fats. Most varieties will run about 130 to 150 calories and 4 to 5 grams of fat per serving (servings range from 1/3 to ½ cup depending on the flavor).
Making your own with nuts and other real food ingredients may not slash calories and fat but you'll still be better off — you'll know exactly what you're munching.
Chocolate-Cherry Crunch Mix
Makes: about 10 cups
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons canola oil
5 cups whole-grain cereal (such as Chex or Nature's Path)
2 cups whole-wheat mini pretzels
½ cup dry roasted almonds
½ cup salted peanuts
½ cup dried bananas (unsweetened)
½ cup dried cherries
2 tablespoons mini chocolate chunks
Pinch sea salt (optional)
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside. In a microwave safe bowl combine honey, cocoa powder and canola oil; microwave on high for 30 to 45 seconds, remove and stir until honey is dissolved.
In a separate large bowl combine cereal, pretzels, nuts, bananas and cherries. Pour hot cocoa mixture over cereal mixture and toss to coat. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Spread hot mixture on prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with sea salt, if using. Allow to cool completely. Once cool, toss in chocolate chunks and store in an airtight container.

Eagle-eyed readers may have noticed a discrepancy in the press releases issued this morning by UKFI and by Virgin on the sale of Northern Rock.
In the UKFI announcement there was no mention of Wilbur Ross, the US billionaire, or his company. By contrast the press release from Virgin Money says explicitly: "The acquisition is funded by an investment consortium led by Virgin Group and WL Ross & Co."
It seems ministers are keen for Sir Richard Branson to be the smiling face of the deal, rather than the man dubbed by Fortune Magazine the "King of Bankruptcy".
So who is Ross? He is a very canny financial investor who has made a speciality out of distressed assets. Recently he was part of a consortium which saved Bank of Ireland from full state ownership by taking a combined 35 per cent stake through rights issues: that consortium was made up of Fidelity Investments, Fairfax Financial Holdings and WL Ross & Co.

text: MrFraggs 160 Report post Posted July 10, 2013 Hey everyone, how goes it? So i've been working on programming a game in C++/SDL2.0 ever since SDL 2.0 release candidate came out. I have spent about 2 days straight of doing nothing except trying to find and implement a game loop I thought would be best for me. Now, I don't mean best ever, I just mean deciding between fixed step and variable step, etc. Basically what I have now is a game loop that calls the Update() function about 60 times per second, while not capping the framerate. I have been thinking about also capping the frame rate to 60, but i'm not sure if that's necessary yet, as all I draw on the screen for now is a blue color. The Update() function will update all of the game logic when it starts to be implemented, while Render() draws everything. Ever since I switched back to C++ from XNA, i've been trying to basically emulate a XNA framework into C++, as that's where I found it to be the easiest. If it matters at all, i'm planning on making a 2D tile based game. So do you guys mind taking a look at my main game loop, and telling me if I should change it over to a different setup? Here is the code to just the main game loop: //Event structure SDL_Event e; const int UPDATES_PER_SECOND = 60; const int MS_PER_UPDATE = 1000 / UPDATES_PER_SECOND; const int MAX_FRAMESKIP = 5; Uint32 elapsedMS = 0; Uint32 startTime = SDL_GetTicks(); Uint32 nextGameTick = SDL_GetTicks(); int loops; int numUpdates = 0; int numFrames = 0; while(game->IsRunning()) { while(SDL_PollEvent(&e)) { //Exit the game if the user hits the 'X' button on the window. if(e.type == SDL_QUIT) game->SetIsRunning(false); } //Game update, render loop loops = 0; while(SDL_GetTicks() > nextGameTick && loops < MAX_FRAMESKIP) { game->Update(); nextGameTick += MS_PER_UPDATE; loops++; ++numUpdates; } //Render the current frame game->Render(); ++numFrames; //Used to display FPS/UPS elapsedMS = SDL_GetTicks() - startTime; if(elapsedMS % 1000 == 0) { //Only update once per second game->FPS = numFrames / (elapsedMS / 1000.0); game->UPS = numUpdates / (elapsedMS / 1000.0); } } // End main loop So basically, here are my questions: 1) Is this an efficient game loop? By that I mean, will it update at about the same rate on all computers? It's designed to update the logic at 60 times per second no matter what the computer (usually), but the frame rate will change. 2) Is 60 updates per second too much? Too little? 3) How much should I look into capping the frame rate? Let me know if you guys see anything you think I should change. I've been wracking my brain over this for 48 hours now, i'm ready to move on! :P Thanks guys! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Recipe Find: More Belinda Dernier recipes
Updated 12:01 am, Wednesday, March 30, 2011
Apparently readers couldn't get enough recipes from Belinda Dernier, whom we recently featured as a great Texas cook.
After the article on her ran, we got requests from readers for two more of her recipes.
The first reader, Pete Siegel, writes, "Can you persuade Belinda Dernier to part with her bulgogi recipe? I did a couple of tours at Osan AB, ROK, while in the Air Force, and our daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter are there now.
"I think I will try out the Bobcat Beefsteak sandwiches on our church men's group next month."
Our second request was from Kim Christensen who writes, "I enjoyed the story on Belinda Dernier and saved all the recipes, but I was surprised she talked about the oatmeal cookies she liked and (you) didn't print the recipe.
"I would like to have the recipe, especially since it uses oil instead of Crisco. It would be a good recipe to have on hand.
Food & Drink Channel
"She sounds like such a good cook, I can't imagine (she'd have) any recipe that wasn't (good)."
Like our readers, I couldn't get enough of Dernier's recipes, copying several more from her stash during our interview, so I had both recipes our readers wanted. The Stir-'n-Drop Oatmeal Cookies are from Dernier's favorite childhood cookbook, "Betty Crocker's New Boys and Girls Cookbook"; the bulgogi recipe from her assignments in Asia.
Recipe Find appears Sundays in Taste. If you are looking for a lost recipe or have a favorite recipe to share, let us hear from you. Email email@example.com or write Recipe Find, San Antonio Express-News, P.O. Box 2171, San Antonio, TX 78297-2171. Recipe requests will be answered in this column only; due to time limitations, no personal replies can be given.

I'll write when I have time, is what I and every aspiring, but lazy writer says. I have ideas, I wrote 5 books – in my head, but pen to paper, never happens.
I'm different, I said. I REALLY don't have time. No excuses. There is no time. Teaching, prepping, marking papers, cooking, cleaning, diaper changing and plain old mommying (just as I sat down to write this my son came with a Dr. Suess book "Mommy, read a ducky feet!"), make up my entire day, there is no time for jotting down a few epiphanies.
Then my sister got engaged, and is now married (Mazal Tov RL!!!) and I wanted to give her a special gift. Nothing you can buy in the store (Can't afford that anyway), but something from the heart, practical, and hand- made for her – a cookbook, with a monthly menu, and tips for the kitchen (When you have no time – use the stovetop. No patience – the oven).
I remembered when I first got married how overwhelming the whole kitchen experience was. Forget about the actual cooking, where I had zero to little experience, what I found most frustrating and anxiety provoking was deciding what to make in the first place. Once I knew what I was making, everything was much easier and focused. My sister has about the same cooking experience as me, and I figured she'd probably fall prey to the same mental torture as me, hence the menu.
Of course, since I have no time, this cookbook seemed to be more like a pipedream than an actuality. But I really wanted to do it, just like I really want to write. The wedding got closer and closer, and one morning I woke up and the Shabbos Kallah was a less than week away. And it was the end of the term, insane marking, essays, quizzes, rubrics, averages – big pain, little time.
I really wanted to do it though, so I did. I just did. I sat down, and did it. I even went to Amazing Savings to buy a nice loose-leaf (awesome store!), and then the Dollar Tree for sheet protectors (AS didn't have). It was done in a night and day. That was it. Probably took about 6 hours total. I don't know where I found the time. Everything I usually do in that time was accomplished too.
It's motivating to realize that if I want to do something, it will get done. Very depressing though to realize I maybe don't want to write as much I think I do.

Strong asparagus markets will likely stay that way until Mexican production ramps up in June.
Historically, markets strengthen after Memorial Day, said Sharon Heer, general manager of Yakima, Wash.-based Rasmussen Marketing Inc. But so far, this season is turning history on its head.
"I don't think it can get any higher than it is now," Heer said. "I think it will stay at these levels."
On May 22, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported prices of $54-56.75 for 28-pound bushels of large asparagus from Washington, up from $44.75-46.75 last year at the same time.
Thanks to up-and-down weather that was reaching deep into May, Washington growers won't likely hit peak levels on volume for the duration of the deal, Heer said May 22.
When Washington ends depends largely on the state's cherry crop, Rasmussen. If predictions come true and significant cherry volumes come off in the second half of June, asparagus harvests could wind down in mid-June as pickers switch to the more profitable cherry crop, Heer said.
"I don't think we'll go as late as last year," she said.
In California, another acreage decline this season, combined with difficulty keeping pickers from switching to the Golden State's cherry crop, has translated into a demand-exceeds scenario, said James Paul, salesman for Stockton, Calif.-based Greg Paul Produce and Calexico, Calif.-based Altar Produce LLC.
"It's red-hot, and it should be really crazy the next 10 days to two weeks," Paul said May 22. "We could even see some crazier peaks."
That's because California was expected to wind down in late May or early June, he said.
By the second week of June, however, markets should start to return to promotable levels as supplies from Central Mexico start to increase, Paul said.
While the strong markets are mostly supply driven, demand is playing a role, too, Paul said.
"Consumption continues to increase," he said. "It's an item retailers want to have out there, kind of like strawberries."
Total Michigan asparagus volumes could be down about 10% because of a late April freeze, said John Bakker, executive director of the Michigan Asparagus Advisory Board, DeWitt. But because of the strong demand for fresh asparagus, fresh volumes should be similar to recent industry averages.
Michigan shippers will likely wind down about June 20-25, Bakker said.
Easter and Mother's Day won't be the only holidays to see big pull this year, he said.
"Everybody talks about Easter, but we see Memorial Day being big for us."

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Being able to create visualizations is an important skill for many of the mnemonic techniques that we have discussed for memory improvement. Being able to visualize ideas is also an important trait for the creative thinker. Practicing this skill is a good way to stretch your mental muscles and expand your imagination.
There are two factors that are used to describe your skill at making mental images.
This relates to how clear your visualizations are in your mind. Are they in color? Are they in 3D? Do they include sounds, smells and tastes?
This relates to how accurately you can control the imagery. Can you retain the images for as long as you want? Can you move the images in your mind? Can you modify your images without excessive effort? Concentration and practice will help you improve the controllability of your visualizations.
Whenever you want to practice, simply close your eyes and visualize an ordinary object. Try to make it as accurate and clear as possible. This not only gives you practice at visualizing, but also encourages you to pay more attention to your environment, which will improve your awareness of what is happening around you.

A NEW town or village could be built in north Essex to try and tackle the region's desperate housing shortage.
Colchester Council has officially invited builders to say where they want to build major new housing developments, particularly so-called "garden cities".
Previously heralded sites include land east of Greenstead, where 4,000 homes have been mooted, and West Tey, a proposed new 7,500 home village west of Marks Tey.
However, potential developers could offer to build homes on any land.
A "garden city" is defined as a new settlement with several thousand homes coupled with the jobs and community facilities needed to make it a "sustainable" community.
A survey published in June found there is demand for between 1,065 and 1,225 new houses and flats in Colchester every year.
The borough's population is growing faster than its neighbours in Essex and is expected to hit 200,000 in 2021.

You can take a mampoer tour in Groot Marico. Learn how famous South African peach brandy is made – and taste it if you dare!
The town of Groot Marico in South Africa takes its name from the Groot Marico River, which wends its way through the Marico District in North West province. Here, in a Bushveld setting that is truly African, the attitudes are down-to-earth and the sunsets heavenly.
The Groot Marico is renowned as a cultural attraction and is also known as 'Bosman Country' for it is here that the famous storyteller, Herman Charles Bosman, set most of his typically South African tales. Included in these are classics such as Willem Prinsloo's Peach Brandy, The Traitor's Wife and Peaches Ripening in the Sun.
The town is so laid-back that it seems as if time is a mere construct: a fact attested to by the clock face on the church steeple that has no hands! Groot Marico is one of the only towns in South Africa that still has a manual telephone exchange. While the area is fully automated, the locals decided that they wanted to continue using the manual exchange and so it remains to this day.
One of the main activities on the Groot Marico calendar is the Herman Charles Bosman Festival, which takes place every October. There is also the Herman Charles Bosman Living Museum, an exact replica of the local school where Bosman taught in 1926.
For the physically active there's the annual Marico Mountain Bike Classic and a number of hiking trails. There are also battlefield tours and the Marico Environmental Centre, which allows kids and adults to experience the great outdoors.
A number of art and craft outlets are housed in the tourism centre, including the Art Factory which showcases leather work, ironwork, pottery, paintings and other local curios.
There is a wide range of accommodation available in the area from guesthouses and guest farms to bona fide farming accommodation (where you might be roped in to do everyday farming chores).

How to get here
Only two hours away from Gauteng you'll find Groot Marico on the N4 between the towns of Swartruggens and Zeerust, en route to Botswana. The town is located on the Marico River. The famous Groot Marico region, in the northern part of the North West province, borders Botswana.
Around the area
Strung along the railway line, just off the N4 that takes you to Rustenburg, Mafikeng and beyond, Groot Marico is the perfect pitstop en-route to places like the Madikwe Game Reserve, or beyond to Gaberone and the Botswana interior.
Fishing is good in the two dams on the Groot Marico River.
Scuba diving in the eye of Marico (a fresh fountain in the river) is another popular pastime.
Tours to do
For something a little different, this is the home of South Africa's very own moonshine, known locally as mampoer. But be warned, it is firewater with an alcohol content often reaching a staggering 90% proof.
Get around
The small, picturesque town is easily accessible on foot.
Length of stay
Due to its distance from major centres, a minimum of a weekend is recommended to enjoy the area. Special events are planned most weekends to entertain visitors.
Where to stay
Consult the Groot Marico tourism office for access to more than 30 B&B's, guest houses and farm-style accommodation options.
What to eat
In Bosman's stories, the local meeting place was Jurie Bekker's post office. Today it is the Groot Marico Hotel, which would have pleased the writer because it attracts a wide variety of characters not dissimilar to those who people his tales.
What's happening
In October every year the town honours the man who made it famous by means of the Herman Charles Bosman Festival. For the fitness fanatics the challenging annual Marico Mountain Bike Classic takes place annually, usually in July. There are four trails from 23km to 61km to choose from.
Best buys
Beautiful paintings, arts and crafts on sale at the tourism centre and mampoer (peach brandy).

Topic: Miracle Man Results Are In!
He is doing it again! Beating the odds. We should have known! We went to the doctor here in Phoenix who performs the Cyber Knife surgery and he said if Teddy passes his PET Scan he is a good candidate for the Cyber knife surgery.
The cancer is where his duodenum used to be and not touching anything else.
We leave Monday for a week in Chattanooga (family thing) and in the meantime they will schedule the scan. After that there is a day of set up, then only 3 - 70 minute treatments and he is done. The mass will die immediately and take about a year to shrink to something like scar tissue! They are also using this on liver and pancreas and other parts. If you are interested look up Dr. John Kresl, Phoenix and Cyber Knife Surgery. There are only 84 units world wide and 11 are in the USA. I know one is at Stanford. The doctor also felt that Teddy's tiredness and pain is from the tube draining his kidney so we still need that addressed...but...wow....that has nothing to do with the cancer. Keep your fingers crossed for the Pet Scan. Just when one feels there is no more to be read, no more research to be done.....bingo...some new miracle comes along. So, stay strong and don't loose hope you never know what is behind door number 3!!! Thinking of all of you...Lainy & Teddy

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Although the economy is seemingly improving, there are still millions of people in America who are still without jobs. Many of the unemployed are classified as "discouraged workers," people who have given up even looking for a job.
According to figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1.1 million Americans were classified as being discouraged workers in December 2012.
Keith Fairchild, president of TRC Staffing Services in Jacksonville, recently discussed the light of the discouraged worker and what these folks can do to rejuvenate their job search in 2013.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are currently about 12 million unemployed people in America. Within that group are 4.8 million people considered one?term unemployed because they had been searching for work for 27 weeks or more.
Discouraged workers are a subset of people who want and are available for work, but are not currently in the labor force. They've looked for a job sometime in the prior 12 months, but are not even counted as unemployed because they have not searched for work in the four weeks preceding the survey. They basically don't feel like there is not a job out there for them and have at least temporarily stopped looking. There are more than 1 million discouraged workers; that impacts a lot of families and represents a lot of wasted talent.
There is some good news on the horizon. There have been 34 straight months of job growth and employers added 155,000 jobs in December alone -- so the trend is very positive.
An important fact that is lost in the overall unemployment figures is that the unemployment rate for people with college?degrees is now only about 4 percent. Another interesting development is that many large companies, like Apple, are for the very first time bringing overseas jobs to the United States.
Also, there is a link between the real estate market and unemployment. Too many people have been unable to move to take a new job because they can't sell their home. The real estate market has improved significantly in recent months, allowing more people to relocate for a good job.
Here are a few tips if you're on the job hunt:
Rev up your resume
It may be time to revisit your resume as most hiring today starts with an online search for your resume. The way you stand out is through the use of key words. Spend some time and get some help in expanding the number of key words on your resume.
Refresh your look
Getting back into the job hunting game can be like getting back into the dating game. Like it or not, updating your professional look can help in your job search, and it doesn't have to cost a fortune. Look for sales from mainstream retailers and check discount, consignment and thrift stores for business wear. If you're really short on cash, there are local programs that provide interview attire for disadvantaged job seekers.
Reconnect with contacts/friends
You don't have to do it on your own. Everyone can benefit from advice, contacts and just moral support. Colleges frequently extend career services to alumni regardless of when they graduated. There are also many affordable business networking groups. Also, it's time to pick up the phone and call old contacts. You'll be surprised at how many people have been in similar situations and will be willing to help.
Reconsider your employment options
If you keep coming up short in your job search, it might be time to broaden your scope in terms of career choices or to consider seasonal or part?time employment until you can find the job you want to have. You know the saying, "It's easier to find a job when you already have one."
For companies thinking about hiring discouraged workers or the long term unemployed, this is a great time for companies to attract some outstanding talent. If someone has been unemployed for a while, and used that time to start a side business, pursue passion for travel, or help others through community service, they can bring so much more back to a job than when they first became unemployed.
Interviewers should listen for examples of how the career detour has given the applicant new insight into how to manage themselves and other people. The ability o turn what has been a negative into a personal success can make them very valuable new employees.

A NEW community energy initiative to help local businesses become greener while also helping to tackle fuel poverty is inviting investors to join its co-operative.
The Calleva Community Energy Co-op has been set up to raise £412,000 to install solar PV on the roofs of three office and light industrial buildings at Calleva Business Park, on the outskirts of Tadley, in Aldermaston.
The project was initiated by the directors of two businesses operating on the park, Mike Larocque and Richard Howard, who became frustrated with the unnecessary energy wastage from their office space and decided to take action.
Calleva Community Energy director Mike Larocque, said: "We realised that thanks to the government Feed-in Tariff, we could generate enough revenue from installing solar PV on the roofs of the buildings to implement energy efficiency measures such as loft insulation – and there would be enough money left over to help alleviate fuel poverty across our community, which stretches from Basingstoke, Newbury and Reading."
Shares in the community co-operative are being offered through Ethex, a not-for-profit website designed to make it easier for people to invest directly in social impact businesses.
The average forecast annual return is seven per cent over a 15-year period.
Ethex director Lisa Ashford, said: "It's a truly innovative scheme which can drive both renewable energy and energy efficiency into the business park whilst benefiting local people and generating a seven per cent return for members of the Co-op. That's a win-win scenario."
The Co-op has already raised 80 per cent of funds needed, meaning the solar installation will definitely go ahead on two of the three buildings. Investors have until July 17 to apply for shares and the minimum investment is £250.
Jane Grindey, who is also a director, Calleva Community Energy, said: "Over 1,500 people are employed in some 200 small and medium-sized businesses at Calleva, with most of them living nearby, and they all deserve to be able to work in a greener, less wasteful space. "Business parks are important economic engines for local communities – they create jobs, generate wealth and often deliver services to other local firms, so helping to generate further local economic growth – and our project will help Calleva's tenants to become more sustainable both economically and environmentally.
"The impact of the project will be felt well beyond the business park, as people who work here will become more engaged with their energy usage and use that knowledge to help reduce energy consumption and bills at home."
A total of 300 kW solar PV will be installed. As well as reducing businesses' energy bills by about a quarter, both through the energy generated and the implementation of energy efficiency measures, the scheme will save around 150 tonnes of carbon a year.
Over 20 years, CCE aims to invest more than £130,000 in alleviating fuel poverty locally.
Anna Croucher, who is managing director of Lola Print, based at the business park, said: "With increasing energy prices, as a tenant, it is frustrating that there is little more we can do to improve the efficiency of our unit.
"CCE is a promising initiative that could make a substantial saving to Lola Print's energy costs whilst reducing our carbon emissions."

HOUSTON - A disabled Humble couple was robbed at gunpoint one week before their wedding.
Greg Gunnels and his fiancé, Marie Bratton, were watching airplanes take off and land about 2 a.m. Friday from the observation lot on Lee Road at George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
They said a black Ford pickup truck with at least two men inside pulled up alongside them. One of the men got out of the truck and started asking Gunnels for directions. As Gunnels was trying to help, the man pulled out a pistol and demanded he get out of the truck and onto the ground.
"He said, 'Where's your money?'" recounted Gunnels. "That's all he kept repeating. 'Where's your money? Where's your money? Where's your money?'"
The two men, who appeared to be in their early 20s, made Bratton get out and lay on the ground, too. She could only watch as one of the suspects kicked her fiancé in the ribs for no apparent reason.
"I thought right then that he was going to be gone," said Bratton. "And I was going to be laying there by myself, nowhere to go, nobody to help us."
The men did eventually leave, taking the couple's white 1998 Chevrolet 1500 pickup truck with them. Gunnels said it's not worth much, but it's his only means of transportation to get to and from work.
When the thieves drove away, they also made off with everything the couple had in the truck, including their wedding bands, keys to their home, driver's licenses and Social Security cards.
"They were supposed to get a marriage license today, and, in order to get a marriage license, you have to have all this," explained Gunnels' sister, Shelly Vick. Gunnels called her when he walked with Bratton to a nearby gas station.
"Both of them are handicapped," said Vick. "They don't have a lot except love between the two of them and their family. They're trying to get married. They're just out watching airplanes and the jerks come along and robbed them of everything they had."

Finally, some female executives at fashion brands. Yesterday Kering named Francesca Ballettini CEO of Yves Saint Laurent and then Lanvin announced Michèle Huiban was being promoted to CEO from the deputy general manager spot. This practically doubles the number of female CEOS in fashion. Ok, that's an exaggeration. But it's also a valid generalisation.

Despite longer outing, Stroman can't bounce back
Blue Jays held to two hits as rookie allows six runs (five earned)
TORONTO -- The Blue Jays hoped to kick off their nine-game homestand with a bang, but their series opener against the Rays was instead a bust. Drew Smyly silenced the Blue Jays' bats and Marcus Stroman wasn't able to deliver a bounce-back start as Toronto was shut out, 8-0, by Tampa Bay on Friday night at Rogers Centre.
"I figured we'd come out there tonight with a little more energy, and we didn't have it," said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. "We made some mistakes, couldn't turn a big double play, waited back on a couple of balls, things like that."
After lasting only two-thirds of an inning in his last start a week ago, Stroman entered Friday's game on two extra days of rest looking to rebound. But instead, the right-hander was dealt his third loss in his last four outings, this time lasting five-plus innings while giving up a season-high 10 hits and five earned runs with three walks. The 23-year-old, who prior to his current rough stretch had been the club's best pitcher since the All-Star Break, said he's putting the loss behind him.
"It's extremely frustrating," said Stroman, who's allowed 10 earned runs over his last two starts. "I couldn't keep my team in it today to get a win. Something you have to put past you."
The loss was a rare home defeat for the rookie hurler, who entered the contest 5-1 with 2.70 ERA in 11 appearances (eight starts) at Rogers Centre. Catcher Dioner Navarro said Stroman was throwing well -- hitting speeds as high at 95 mph with his fastball -- but got caught pitching from behind and left several balls up in the zone.
"He wasn't getting ahead," Navarro said. "He made a couple of mistakes leaving the ball over the plate and he payed for it. I guess he's just going through one of those stretches where anything he does, it's not working."
While nothing seemed to go right for the Blue Jays, there were several bright takeaways for the Rays. Evan Longoria pounded the ball at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a single, a double and a homer, and Kevin Kiermaier turned two would-be singles to shallow center field into doubles.
"Those are two of the shortest doubles you've ever seen in your life," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "That's all about him, period."
But in the end, the Rays' win was all about Smyly. The 25-year-old cruised to his second victory since joining the Rays after being dealt from the Tigers at the non-waiver Trade Deadline. He retired the final 19 hitters he faced to improve to 8-10 with his first career shutout.
Smyly didn't allow a Toronto runner to reach scoring position and surrendered only a pair of singles without a walk as the Rays won their second straight after dropping four in a row.
"It's not something starters get that often," Smyly said of his shutout. "You have to do your job and be on point from inning one to inning nine to usually throw a complete game. It's tough; not many do it. It's a good mark to reach and a big accomplishment for me."
Both pitchers made it through the first inning after facing three hitters, but the game slowly grew out of reach for the Blue Jays, who gave up a run in each of the second, fourth and fifth innings and carried a 3-0 deficit into the sixth.
That's when things got ugly. Three straight singles to lead off the inning marked the end of the night for Stroman, and reliever Aaron Loup did not fare much better. Loup gave up an RBI single to Ben Zobrist before a defensive miscue by second baseman Steve Tolleson allowed Matt Joyce to load the bases on the fielder's choice. Longoria then doubled to left field, scoring two to make it 7-0, and Wil Myers added a solo homer in the eighth.
The Blue Jays' bullpen worked the final four innings, with Loup, Kyle Drabek, Todd Redmond and Brett Cecil tossing an inning apiece.

Texas Game Wardens/TPWD Law Enforcement Division
- TPWD has had approximately 200 game wardens and associated boats and equipment deployed for Hurricane Ike.
- Game warden search and rescue operations continue on the Bolivar Pennisula today. Yesterday, strike teams rescued an elderly couple of which the husband had congestive heart failure. The Bolivar team also yesterday aided the safe extraction of a lion and tiger that had become residents on the peninsula with the help of the owners and the Houston Zoo.
- A greater number of other game warden strike teams have shifted from search and rescue to focus on law enforcement patrols, looting prevention and related assistance at the request of affected cities and counties. This includes teamsspread across multiple counties, mainly on the upper coast in the greater Houston-Galveston and Beaumont-Port Arthur areas, but also in East Texas.
Texas State Parks
- This morning, 17 Texas State Parks are closed due to Ike, down from 37 closures at the event's height. Since the storm event began, more than 5,900 evacuees have been given shelter at64 state parks outside Ike's path. These climbing numbers shown evacuees are continuing to arrive at some parks, although many have departed since evacuees first started arriving last week.
- Two coastal parks, Galveston and Sea Rim, suffered catastrophic damage.Facilities at Sea Rim near Port Arthur appear to be a total loss. At Galveston Island, Ike caused heavy beach erosion and swept awaystateparkfacilities. The San Jacinto Battleground and six other state parks in Southeast and Northeast Texas suffered significant damage ranging from downed trees and power lines to storm surge flooding and wind damage to buildings and facilities.
- Park maintenance response teams will continue to assist on-site staff with basic needs through week's end. Park enforcement officers have accomplished missions to secure sites and been demobilized. Natural resource and infrastructure damage evaluations will continue into next week, but commercial timber salvage operations at Huntsville and Lake Livingston State Parks are already being negotiated.
Ecological Impacts/Fish and Wildlife Kills
- TPWD is tracking more than 26 contaminant spills causing fish and in affected coastal areas.The department is also is participating in a multi-agency, state/federal Natural Resource Damage Assessment effort planning to set up incident command in Clear Lake.
- The department is asking people in affected coastal areas who encounter dead or dying fish and wildlife or pollution that is threatening fish and wildlife or human health to please contact TPWD's 24-Hour Law Enforcement Communication Center in Houston at (281) 842-8100.
TPWD Employee Relief
- The Human Resources Division is coordinating agency-wide employee disaster relief efforts aimed at supporting affected employees who lost homes or were otherwise affected by Ike.
- The Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation has set up a special"TPWD Employee Hurricane Relief Fund." Donation checks can be mailed to: Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation, Re: TPWD Employee Hurricane Relief Fund, 1901 North Akard, Dallas, TX 75201.

Did you know?
The nearby Greyville Racecourse is home to the Durban July, South Africa's most famous horse-racing event.
The Freedom Café in Greyville, Durban, is a funky, fun breakfast and lunch spot that has people talking as much about the look of the place as its food.
Its façade is a red shipping container, with windows added for your viewing pleasure. There's also an outside space, shaded by trees and featuring an attractive wall punctuated by plants. It's a quirky boutique setting, the work of design maestro Neil Roake, who is also an award-winning cookbook writer. Roake worked in conjunction with Egg Designs to create this innovative dining space.
The Freedom Café's ambience not only tells you you're dining in Africa, but also at a venue with a sense of humour and adventure. Doggie condiment holders, African prints, modern chairs and a view of the kitchen all work together to entertain the eye. The venue combines Durban's balmy surrounds with a cutting-edge vibe favoured by urbanites.
The menu is concise yet avant-garde, with daily specials making the most of seasonal and regional produce. Seafood and vegetables play a starring role in dishes that include salmon on courgette fritters, veggie terrine, mushroom tart, and fresh mussels with roasted red pepper sauce.
Heartier appetites will appreciate the lamb tagine, or the very satisfying gnocchi, among others, while those with a sweet tooth will find solace in chocolate brownies, sweet treats and muffins.
The Freedom Café's luncheon favourites include a trio plate that stars an unlikely combo of chicken, beef and falafel; another best-seller is the Vietnamese prawn summer rolls. Breakfast choices range from eggs Benedict to a seasonal fruit skewer to ricotta hot cakes to sweetcorn fritters.
The food manages to be both comforting and light, which is a tricky balance to achieve. Also, pesceterians, vegetarians and meat-lovers can dine together and all be spoilt for choice.

Both clubs left their fans, neutral observers and probably themselves shaking their heads last weekend.
The Panthers, who had the league's best record at 15-1, pummeled two-time defending NFC champion Seattle 31-0 in the first half. Carolina's defense got consistent pressure on Russell Wilson and shut down the ground game. Cam Newton, Jonathan Stewart and Greg Olsen were dominant on offense.
Then it all soured, the Seahawks scored the next 24 points and probably were an onside kick recovery away from forcing overtime. Newton admitted his team needs more killer instinct.
Arizona displayed that trait in overtime against Green Bay, sparked by Larry Fitzgerald's weaving 75-yard catch and run. But the Cardinals never should have the extra work, allowing a 60-yard completion on fourth down, then a 41-yard desperation pass on the final play of regulation.
Each team has an outstanding defense, but the feeling here is lots of points will be had in Sunday's late game.
The majority of those points will be scored by the hosts, who have won 12 in a row at home.

No trains ran through Sutton Station this morning after an electrical cable explosion - causing severe travel disruption across the rail network in south-west London.
Southern Railway and First Capital Connect services ground to a halt after the fire was reported on platform two just after 7am.
Sutton Station reopened at 11.30am but there are still severe delays.
UPDATE (4pm) Passengers have been warned of evening rush hour delays and Sutton station is operating on a train by train basis - click here for more details.
A train also broke down at West Sutton station after experiencing power troubles and passengers were stuck on carriages between Carshalton and Sutton for three hours.
The closure has caused severe delays to routes to and from West Croydon, Mitcham, Epsom, Wimbledon, Tooting, Streatham and Dorking.

A huge queue has built at Mitcham Junction following the cancellations
Passengers have been warned to experience delays of about an hour and short-notice cancellations.
A First Capital Connect spokesman confirmed its services from Luton are being terminated in London and no trains are travelling to Sutton station.
Transport for London is accepting tickets on London buses, the Tramlink and the Underground.
Queues were reported at stations across the region as thousands seek to find alternative routes to work.
A spokesperson for Network Rail, which owns Sutton Station, said: "This morning there was what we call an electrical supply problem which created a spark or a small bang at the station.
"We have got Network Rail engineers on site assessing the situation and investigating it.
"Trains are not stopping at the station at this time.
"It is not possible to get a time when services will stop there. I'd say to check back after lunchtime.
"I can't say if it's going to have an effect on services – we are waiting to find out.
"I'd advise passengers to check with the train companies they are travelling with or check Network Rail's enquiry website."
They were unable to say whether it was linked to a triple explosion last year outside Sutton station.
Chaos at Sutton station as firefighters and police take charge
Passengers stuck on train for THREE HOURS
Passengers travelling on a Southern train to Sutton from Clapham Junction were stuck for more than two hours after it was due to arrive at Sutton at 7.38am.
The train stopped between Carshalton and Sutton at 7.30am and passengers remained there until about 10.40am, when the train was taken to Sutton and passengers were escorted off the platform.
Franck Merveaux, travelling to Sutton to get a connection to Wimbledon for work, said: "We pay a lot for our season tickets and stuff and then you get things like this.
"A couple of weeks ago it was floods, before that it was the wind.
"It will be snowing soon and there will be more delays.
"We pay so much for such an unreliable service. It's not on - I'll definitely be looking for a refund."
Naomi West, a shop assistant travelling from Balham to get to work, said "I'm annoyyed but you just have to deal with it. There's no point getting angry about things you can't control.
"But my phone's low on battery so I may not be so good natured in half an hour!"

English 251. Introduction to World Cinema
This course is designed as an introduction to the critical concepts in the study of "world cinema": Orientalism, Third World nationalism, diasporic cultural production and Global Hollywood. We will study a broad range of films, from the colonial adventure to the anti-colonial documentary, from avant-garde cinema to popular blockbusters. Rather than force the vast cinemas of the world into a stable grid of discrete national formations, this course encourages students to explore the connections between "global" and "local" cinematic worlds. Required weekly film viewing.

DUI driver causes multiple accidents along 101
ARCATA- A Eureka man allegedly driving under the influence was the reason for three accidents along highway 101 on Tuesday night. The alleged driver side swiped a car in Arcata before crashing into a telephone pole that knocked down power lines, causing another accident.
Eureka driver, Allan Tyson Kaimana Lemi, was found by CHP hiding in bushes after the accident around 9 p.m. Tuesday night. Lemi was arrested for misdemeanor DUI and hit and run.
CHP Information Officer, Matt Harvey, said Lemi was driving a 1986 pick up truck southbound through Arcata when he allegedly side swiped another car in the opposite lane. Five miles down the highway, just north of Indianola Cutoff, Lima allegedly ran into a telephone pole which caused power lines to fall and a driver of a Chevy truck to run into them.
