SAINT LEO, Fla. - Game 1 of the 2012 Blood Bowl, originally scheduled to go seven innings, quickly turned into a standard nine. The Black squad would open scoring by pushing one run across in the bottom of the first when Nick Gill would score on a Michael Revell sacrifice fly to centerfield. The Gold team would then put a run on the board in the top of the second frame when an infield single by Michael Callahan scored Daniel Torres who had led off the inning with a double.
The game stayed tied at one until Gold team centerfielder Cole Stancil led off the ninth with a single to right field. Stancil would then advance to second on a wild pitch and later score on a Bobby Twitty single down the rightfield line. Stephen Grove came in on the mound to shut down the Black team in the bottom of the frame to earn the save and seal up the opening game victory.
Game 2 is scheduled for 5 p.m. on Thursday with the Gold team leading the series 1-0. Admission is free to the public.

The Woods Partners with National Center for Women & Information Technology, Again
June 5th, 2013 | SMWC
By Lisa Luper
The Building Future Experiences Club at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College will soon receive a 3-D printing technology, thanks to a grant from the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT). The club, originated from the Business and Computer Information Systems department received a $750 NCWIT Symantec Student Seed Fund grant to help support women in technology.
The club's proposal was awarded the grant because its goal – to spark women's interest and appreciation for technology – aligned with NCWIT's mission to propose activities, events, or other programs that will recruit, retain, and support women in technology and computing-related majors. The funding will provide software training for the club and provide opportunities for other students to be exposed to and learn new technology.
Josephine Nieto, the vice president of the club, was excited to learn they had received the grant. "The NCWIT grant will help us to meet that goal by helping us learn how to use the printer and teach the other student as well."
During the club's first year in 2011, the group was awarded a NCWIT $500 grant to hands-on activities to encourage students of all majors to explore technology. The students created a discovery room to meet and work on projects including programming, phone application programming and robotics. They also worked to educate other students about the usefulness of technology regardless of major, such as teaching equine students the benefits of spreadsheets to assist with stable management. Students also lead workshops at SMWC's annual Expanding Your Horizons conference designed to encourage middle school girls to pursue science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Over the past two years, the club has grown from six to 24 members.
Susan Dolle, director of grants development, said that the Building Future Experiences Club contributes to many useful projects on campus. "I appreciate their openness to different ideas to encourage people to not be afraid of using technology," Dolle said.
SMWC students Anna Bailey, business administration major from Caledonia, Mich., and Josephine Nieto, computer information systems major from Fort Wayne, Ind., submitted the grant proposal with assistance from advisor Lana Lytle, associate professor of computer information systems.

Just a quick post about the NZ Family History Fair in Auckland this weekend. I was hoping to post more during the event, but the wifi has been a real problem at the event centre as well as at the hotel. However this has not dampened our spirits and we have had a fabulous time, with more to come tomorrow.
Talks by Dr Jo Appleby, Brad Argent (think the Regency wig is perhaps not your style Brad !!), D Joshua Taylor and Diane Loosle were the highlights for me. All world class speakers who knew their subjects and had a great way of sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm.
I'll blog more about each of these speakers when I get home and have a reliable and affordable (!) internet connection.
The fair is on tomorrow, Sunday 4th August, so do attend if you can.

Jeannette banking on team effort to repeat last year's success
Jeannette may not be the preseason favorite among WPIAL Class AA boys basketball teams in 2012-13, but the Jayhawks emphatically insist that a deep roster could carry them to their second title in six years.
It is a roster devoid of career 1,000-point scorer Demetrious Cox, the team leader who accepted a football scholarship to Michigan State.
"He carried a lot of weight. It was his team last year," Jeannette coach Adrian Batts said.
And while it was a similar sentiment that other Jeannette players and coaches were expressing, there was a fresh anticipation that something special might be brewing this year.
"I feel like there's not so much emphasis on one player now. It's everybody's team," said guard Duke Brown, one of three returning Jayhawks to average double figures — his 15.1 ppg were second to guard Orlando Morgan's 16.1.
Both 6-foot-3 seniors were joined last year in double figures by then-freshman point guard Julian Batts (10.7 ppg.), the coach's son.
"We're taking the attitude that we're all equal," Brown said. "We think we're going to be better than last year's team, but we're going to have to rebound the basketball to get our offense in gear."
The race in Class AA is likely to include Jeannette, which is coming off a 17-9 season that ended with a second-round loss to Greensburg Central Catholic in the PIAA playoffs. The Jayhawks lost in the WPIAL playoffs to eventual champion and state runner-up Beaver Falls in the quarterfinals.
The Tigers, who lost to Imhotep Charter in the PIAA title game, are minus forward Sheldon Jeter — a freshman at Vanderbilt — but return an experienced team led by senior guards Elijah Cottrill (13.1 ppg.) and Drew Cook (10.4 ppg.).
"They are two of the top players in Class AA," Coach Batts said.
Yet the same could be said for any combination of players at Jeannette. Seth Miller, a 6-5 senior center, and Jordan Edmunds, a 5-10 senior guard — two other returning players — could round out the opening-day lineup.
Batts said he'll also rely on his junior forwards: 6-3 Damone Morton, 6-4 Miles Sunder, 6-3 Mike Wise and 6-5 Jonah Yunker, a transfer from Greensburg Central Catholic.
They are part of a versatile, 14-man roster that the Jayhawks hope will mesh.
"We've still got a lot of kids who didn't play much, but that shouldn't matter," said the 5-11 Julian Batts. "Everyone understands our system, and everyone is excited about the season."

Soundgarden brings killer riffs and a sound mix from hell to Vancouver
At the Queen Elizabeth Theatre on Sunday, February 10
Vancouver's Soundgarden fans had real reason to rejoice in 2010 when the classic lineup of singer Chris Cornell, guitarist Kim Thayil, bassist Ben Shepherd, and drummer Matt Cameron reunited after 12 years apart, and then announced a summer arena tour that included a stop at Rogers Arena on July 30, 2011.
But the excitement level for those same fans reached new heights in 2012 when the quartet—in the wake of releasing King Animal, its first album in 16 years—lined up a winter soft-seater tour that would include a stop at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre on February 10, 2013. Not surprisingly, the show was an instant sellout.
Considering how impressive they were in the home of the Canucks, I for one was psyched about seeing Soundgarden perform in the much more intimate confines of the Queen E. My only concern—after checking on setlist.fm website—was that the band hadn't included "Outshined" in its set two nights prior at the Paramount Theatre, in its Seattle hometown. I mean, could I really get the most out of a Soundgarden gig without hearing my favourite tune of theirs?
As it turned out, the band did play "Outshined" last night—along with my other fave Soundgarden track, "Fell on Black Days". There was no problem with the song selection at all, in my books. The only problem was with the sound mix, which started off atrocious and stayed that way for the entire two-hour show.
The acoustics in the QE can be pretty great, but apparently not so much for hard-rock acts. Subpar sound was evident when Chickenfoot played the venue last summer, only it wasn't half as bad as it was last night. Where I was sitting Soundgarden's guitar, bass, and drums coagulated into one hurtin', muddy mess, while Cornell's lyrics were indecipherable throughout. You just don't expect a band to sound way worse in a theatre than it did in a hockey rink.
Maybe I happened to get stuck in a particularly poor-sounding location, because it wasn't as if the crowd fled in droves from the racket—or formed a posse to lynch the offending soundman. They held their ground and cheered every song, though not with any rabid enthusiasm.
As well as tracks from King Animal—including the rifftastic opener, "Been Away Too Long"—Cornell and Co. focused on material from the top-selling '90s albums Badmotorfinger ("Jesus Christ Pose", "Rusty Cage", "Outshined") and the five-times-platinum Superunknown ("Fell on Black Days", "Black Hole Sun").
There wasn't much verbal communication between the band and the audience, which was fine with me, since I'm from the "less talkin', more rockin'" school of thought. But a bit more in the way of visuals would have been nice, as it seemed like a lot of the lights that were set up were hardly even used. The most exciting thing that happened on-stage was when one overzealous fan crawled up and leapt around a bit before being tackled by a roadie and dragged away.
I hate to say it, 'cause I admire the group, but judging by Sunday night, Soundgarden has fallen on black days itself.
Or maybe it was just the soundman.

I thought the show was great with a really interesting and diverse set list. The sound was pretty bad where I was sitting up in the balcony. I thought they looked like they were having a good time on stage. Lots of interaction with the first few rows.
Feb 11, 2013 at 10:51am
Only after reading this valley girl tripe about one supposed to be rad, but gnarly night did I scroll up to see who wrote it. Steve, you are usually better. My high school paper had better writing and analysis. And making your bad experience with the sound the primary focus is a cop out, followed closely with "I hope they play my favourite favourite songs" mantra. Visually too, there was an abundance not the dearth you describe. I can't say I was a fan of all of the cgi snow scenes, but there were several, changing backdrops, all complementary to their song. You didn't touch on how tight they were, yet seemingly comfortable and loose with each other. You were right about the setlist that changes every night. It contained the hits you wanted but some other album track nuggets, including ones that weren't the single off the new album. The new material shone on its own, showing the band as viable and in the game for more than a nostalgic cash grab. Sorry you had poor sound in your seat, and sorry we had to hear about that instead of the quality show performed.
Feb 11, 2013 at 3:42pm
A good review. Despite the protestations of the fanboys, the mix was a garbled mess regardless of where you were in the theatre. The setlist was fine, the band tight - but the sound was very lacking.
Feb 11, 2013 at 7:24pm
Yeah, good show but the sound was terrible beyond description. Maybe the PA was the same one they were using back in 93, you know, with manual crossovers and stuff. I was half ready to go downstairs to The Media Club and grab that old guy who techs there... he would have fixed it up in a second!
Feb 11, 2013 at 8:21pm
Totally agree with this review - I was worried I was the only one who thought I was listening to Soundgarden on an old cassette tape or something. It was great to see the guys together but even the biggest fans have to admit there was very little energy in the room and the sound royally sucked. Disappointing.
Feb 12, 2013 at 12:15am
If you expect your fans to pay that much for a ticket, we can expect you to hire a good sound person. WTF. Seriously. I had friends that went in Seattle and they said the sound was bad there as well
Feb 12, 2013 at 1:42am
Great setlist!!!! This was very true of the sound in the QE for this show, I found it poor and muddled together compared to Rogers show. I know that Ben was giving signals to the guy sitting beside Matt(moving his mic back and forth) during Black hole Sun to wrap thing up, and when the next song ended with not so much as a Thank you Vacouver, and with Ben immediately turning of his amps and walking off stage was a sign they were indeed as upset as their fans. Glad to have went to see them regardless! Cheers to all the SG fans out there!

Modern P.A. mixers have programmed in digital templates for theatres, arenas, clubs, stadiums, outdoor sound mix's.
There is no excuse for poor sound in ANY room anymore.
People should demand refunds.
Feb 12, 2013 at 9:39am
Well, it looks pretty unanimous that the sound mix was crap! How does a band with SG's chops come off sounding like an over-amped garage band? I was at the Slash/Myles Kennedy show in the same venue and the sound was light years better. Maybe SG need to make sure their road crew stays sober on gig nights. What a freakin waste of money...

"You didn't touch on how tight they were, yet seemingly comfortable and loose with each other." - and you're giving him stick about HIS writing??

When I first visited San Francisco, I was walking down a shady little avenue somewhere and looked up. I was under a fragrant canopy of trees, all with dark, shiny green leaves I recognized as bay laurel. Amazing! My whole life I'd only seen those leaves preciously packed in small glass jars in the spice aisle, and here were literally millions of them just growing wild on the street.
At the time, I had a 4-inch pot in my apartment back home containing a struggling wisp of a bay laurel plant. It was a sickly skinny stick with maybe a handful of leaves on it when I bought it. One by one, the leaves withered away and then the plant died. I tried a few more times to grow my own little tree as a houseplant, each time while living in various places that had lots of things going for them but for the unfortunate lack of a Mediterranean climate.
I've since learned that the plant I was trying to grow was the not Umbellularia californica I saw in abundance in that state, but Laurus nobilis – same species, different variety. Both kinds thrive in the kind of climate where olives, rosemary and artichokes also thrive (as I'm absolutely sure I would, too). [Read more…]

Serious sexual activity. Hardcore and very fast moving with the testicles slapping up against the "taint" area of the female from the seriously fast sex. Usually occurs the most during doggy-style or plain 'ol hyperspeed missionary.
Wow, me and Mandy were having some serious sex, slappynutz were in full effect and I had sweat just fallin off me and my balls. We must have lost 10 pounds each from that 45 minute sexual hurricane.

The Best Fonts Ever
Flake's served as a Representative to the great state of Arizona since 2003, and has the tan to prove it. Arizona's open seat will likely be important to win because of recent population shifts, and he's one of three candidates on this list who doesn't fear shirtlessness, though in his case, there's the added mystique of soul-searching retreats on uncharted desert isles. When he's donning shirts — and a suit — Flake tends to favor a skinnier tie, and doesn't shy away from a pattern, either.
In a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, the Junior Senator from Montana has proven a refreshing change from the Washington-as-Usual look. When he's not on the Senate floor or on the campaign trail, Tester runs his family farm — did I mention that the farm is organic? — and thus tends towards a flannel shirt with a matching Carhartt jacket style that any Washington elite can appreciate.

FARMINGTON, Mich. - A retired Detroit-area Catholic priest has been placed on administrative leave amid accusations of sexual misconduct with minors.
Father Loren O'Dea, 83, retired to the status of senior priest in 1997 after he served as associate pastor at Our Lady of Sorrows church in Farmington.
O'Dea did not become a priest until he was in his 60s. The allegations involved actions before O'Dea was ordained.
He is restricted from any public ministry. Oakland County prosecutors are investigating the allegations.

If you have a premature baby, understand the challenges your preemie might face — and remember the importance of meeting your own special needs.
If your baby is born too early, the miracle of birth might be overshadowed by concern about your preemie's health and the possible long-term effects of prematurity. However, there's much you can do to take care of your premature baby — and yourself — as you look toward the future.
A premature or preterm baby is born before 37 complete weeks of pregnancy. Generally, the earlier a baby is born, the higher the risk of complications.
At first, your premature baby might have little body fat and need help maintaining body heat. He or she might cry only softly and have trouble breathing. Feeding your preemie might be a challenge. Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice), low blood sugar, and lack of red blood cells to carry oxygen to your baby's tissues (anemia) are possible. More-serious concerns might include infection, episodes of stopped breathing (apnea) and bleeding into the brain. Some preemies have impaired hearing or vision.
Others experience developmental delays, learning disabilities, motor deficits, or behavioral, psychological or chronic health problems. Many, however, catch up and experience normal healthy development.
Your preemie's special needs call for special care, probably in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). In some cases, a premature baby needs to be transported to a hospital that can provide specialized care. The medical team caring for your baby will do everything they can to help your baby thrive. Your role as a parent is essential, too.
You're concentrating on your baby now, but remember that you have special needs, too. Taking good care of yourself will help you take the best care of your preemie.
When it's time to bring your baby home, you might feel relieved, excited and anxious. After time in the hospital, it might be daunting to leave the on-site support of your baby's medical team behind. Keep in mind that as you spend more time with your baby, you'll better understand how to meet his or her needs and your relationship will grow stronger.
Before you leave the hospital, consider taking a course in infant CPR. Make sure you're comfortable caring for your baby, especially if you'll need to use special monitors at home or give your baby supplemental oxygen or other treatments. Ask questions about your baby's care. Schedule follow-up visits with your baby's doctor, and find out whom to call if you have concerns in the meantime.
Because sitting semireclined in a car seat can increase the risk of breathing problems or a slow heartbeat, your baby might need to be monitored in his or her car seat before hospital discharge. When you have the OK to use a car seat, use it only during travel.
In addition, don't place your baby in a backpack or other upright positioning devices — which might make it harder for him or her to breathe — until you talk to your baby's doctor.
To measure your premature baby's development, use his or her corrected age — your baby's age in weeks minus the number of weeks he or she was premature. For example, if your baby was born eight weeks early, at age 6 months your baby's corrected age is 4 months.
You'll always remember your baby's time in the hospital. Now cherish the opportunity to begin making memories at home.

Prince Harry will arrive back in the UK today after his tour of duty in Afghanistan.
The 28-year-old Apache co-pilot gunner left the war-torn country on Monday evening and has been on post-deployment "decompression" at a British military base, thought to be in Cyprus.
He is expected to land at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire on a regular personnel flight before going with his unit, 662 Squadron, 3 Regiment Army Air Corps, to their Suffolk headquarters.
Harry is likely to have sunk his first beer in 20 weeks on the Mediterranean island, as troops are given four cans of lager to help unwind after an arduous tour in Helmand province.
The prince revealed to the press he took Taliban fighters "out of the game" from the cockpit of Apache attack helicopters, and admitted he "let himself down" by romping naked in Las Vegas just weeks before his deployment.

FOODBANKS are to come under investigation in Worcestershire – with the county council agreeing to examine ways to help them out.
Due to rising demand across the county, the council has agreed a potentially groundbreaking review into supporting and nurturing the volunteers who make sure they operate.
During a debate at County Hall, politicians admitted they were "worried" about the huge expansion in the scale of foodbanks in Worcestershire.
It raises the prospect of taxpayers money being used to offer advice on the facilities, and make sure the help they provide is better co-ordinated.
Councillor Peter McDonald, from the Labour group, said: "Figures show 60,000 people have gone hungry since the Christmas period, including 20,000 children.
"In just one year, foodbanks have helped just over one million people, including in Worcestershire, this should never be the case in a modern society.
"Across the country we've seen reports of thefts rising in everyday items like cheese, bread and milk, which was last prevalent in the 18th and 19th century."
Other politicians said they had noticed trends in their own council wards which had started to concern them.
Councillor Liz Tucker, Lib Dem group leader, said: "Pershore is often seen as privileged and not suffering from poverty, but it has built up in a way not really seen since the Second World War."
Other councillors said they were getting lots of concern about pay being frozen in the public and private sectors while food prices and utility bills continue to rise.
Councillor Richard Udall said: "As pay packets continue to shrink, prices continue to rise.
"We do need to create a long-term plan to reduce the cost of living crisis, and reduce the reliance on foodbanks."
A motion was voted on suggesting a watchdog-style council body, called the Overview and Scrutiny Performance Board, "investigate how the council can help support, co-ordinate and nurture" the growing number of foodbank volunteers.
It will also look at ways in which the council can offer advice on them, and link the services together.
The motion was created by Labour, and was accepted by all politicians after the wording was altered by Councillor Lucy Hodgson, a Conservative.

Speed bump
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
The speed bump is a bump built for speed. Unlike stationary bumps, the speed bump is fully mobile and ready to rock. These types of bumps, which come in many varieties, are found all over the world. Examples of speed bumps include helicopters, automobiles, and chariots.
what's the difference between a black person on the road and a speed bump? You slow down for the speed bump.
edit The History of Speed Bumps
edit The First Speed Bumps
Speed bumps have existed since the dawn of time. God created horse-drawn carriages for Adam and Eve, who rode around the Garden of Eden until their carriage was hijacked by Satan. Carriages were mainly forgotten until Roman times, when chariots became populte inventor of these speed bumps. It wasn't until later that land-based speed bumps were improved.
The first airborne speed bump was an airplane built by the Wright brothers to escape Dayton, Ohio. Though these early versions were crude and slow, they inspired a new generation of flying speed bumps.
edit Development
For many years, the main method of propulsion for speed bumps was horsepower. The popularization of automobiles changed this. Suddenly, speed bumps that once needed horses to move them were running faster and cleaner on gas. Since the introduction of this revolutionary concept, pollution has virtually disappeared, and the Earth is cleaner than ever.
Furthermore, as steam engines became more powerful, boats were invented for the single purpose of racing. Tugboats, airplane carriers, and cruisers further graced our seas, mocking the simple bumps of the whale and the turtle.
Meanwhile, in the skies, airplanes were being constantly improved upon. State-of-the-art Soviet spy planes allowed such movements as the Red Scare to go unimpeded, while Russian MIG's delivered justice in the heavens. As aerodynamics were improved, speed bumps reached new heights.
edit The Speed Bump Today
Today, speed bumps enter our lives daily. Go-karts, race cars, and monster trucks all add to the enjoyment of everyday life as humans strive harder to make their speed bumps the best there are. Submarines allow us to sink other innocent, water-bound speed bumps, while cruise ships exist for the sole purpose of being targets for these wonderful creations. We've even sent speed bumps into space. Such inventions as space shuttles and rocket ships show conclusively that speed bumps can do anything they set their engines to. Speed bumps have demonstrated the limitless capabilities of human technology.
"One small step for man, one giant leap for speeding bumps everywhere."
edit Famous Speed Bumps in History
Famous speed bumps that have appeared throughout history have included the following:
- The SS Lusitania, a water-based speed bump that got itself sunk, and brought the US into WWI.
- Enola Gay, the speed bump that dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
- Little Boy, the name of the bomb, which technically became a speeding bump once it was dropped.
- Air Force One, the speed bump responsible for carrying George Bush through the skies (hint hint, terrorists).
- Sputnik, a Soviet satellite that caused a massive panic in the United States, which the Russians found amusing.
- The Columbian Space Shuttle, which made history after it famously blew up and sent 7 martyrs to heaven.

Global Diversification, High Total Return Potential. Global Real Estate is a portfolio diversifier that's designed to deliver high returns and income through investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and real estate companies around the world.
Growth, Income, Diversification
Global Real Estate invests in a non-traditional asset class that has historically delivered:
- Capital appreciation and dividend income
- Inflation hedging potential from ability to raise rental income as inflation rates rise
Top-Down, Bottom-Up Approach
The fund is actively managed by veteran real estate investors with a process that's designed to:
- Deliver pure exposure to public REITs and real estate companies worldwide
- Combine top-down country and sector allocation with bottom-up security selection
- Build country and company positions based on fundamentals and relative valuations
Global Opportunity Set
The worldwide commercial real estate market may continue to be attractive to investors:
- Improving growth propsects in many economies provide a favorable backdrop for property stocks
- The supply of REITs is growing as developed markets embrace securitization
- A limited supply of newly developed properties in key markets may create a favorable pricing environment
A Note About Risk
Due to the limited focus of this fund, it may experience greater volatility than funds with a broader investment strategy. It is not intended to serve as a complete investment program by itself. This fund may be subject to many of the same risks as a direct investment in real estate. These risks include changes in economic conditions, interest rates, property values, property tax increases, overbuilding and increased competition, environmental contamination, zoning and natural disasters. This is due to the fact that the value of the fund's investments may be affected by the value of the real estate owned by the companies in which it invests. To the extent the fund invests in companies that make loans to real estate companies, the fund also may be subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. International investing involves special risks, such as political instability and currency fluctuations. There is no guarantee that the investment objectives will be met. Dividends and yields represent past performance and there is no guarantee that they will continue to be paid.
Diversification does not assure a profit nor does it protect against loss of principal.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Bats quiet again as Nats can't back Strasburg
Washington drops under .500 for first time since 2011 season
WASHINGTON -- The Nationals' clubhouse was quiet on Wednesday.
After a fourth straight loss and a ninth loss in 12 games, no music was played. Manager Davey Johnson talked about switching up the lineup. Jayson Werth stared into his locker.
"They always say it's better to be lucky than good, and we're neither right now," Werth said.
Werth homered in the eighth inning and Stephen Strasburg pitched seven strong innings, but the Nationals were swept for the second time in three weeks with a 4-2 loss to the Cardinals before 33,694 at Nationals Park. The preseason National League favorites fell one game below .500 for the first time since the last day of the 2011 season.
"It's frustrating," Johnson said. "We're just not doing the things we're capable of doing, guys are trying to do too much. [Shortstop Ian Desmond] looks like he's trying to hit the ball to the light tower. Little things where guys are trying to create something, and it's not there yet. It's just one of those things."
Strasburg was rattled in a three-run first inning, but retired 15 of the last 16 batters he faced. He struck out seven, walked one and allowed just five hits over seven innings of work. After falling behind in the count against four of his first five batters, Strasburg threw first-pitch strikes to 13 of the next 15.
"I was trying to throw the perfect pitch," Strasburg said. "I tell myself going into the game 'Don't do that,' and I go out there and I do it. I was really happy that I was able to make the adjustment, get the feeling back."
The Cardinals got to Strasburg early as leadoff hitter Matt Carpenter doubled on the second pitch of the game. Matt Holliday and Yadier Molina each singled, with Molina's hit plating two runs, and Carlos Beltran walked and then later scored on Anthony Rendon's error. When all was said and done, the Cardinals led 3-0 after one inning.
Strasburg settled down in the third, fourth and fifth, retiring the Cardinals in order each time. But the offense didn't follow suit.
On a beautiful afternoon in the nation's capital, the Nationals' performance at the plate was far from pretty. Washington ended a 19-inning scoreless streak in the sixth inning, but finished with just two runs on seven hits. After three innings, the team had just one hit -- a bunt single by Desmond in the second -- and two strikeouts.
"We're just trying to get the ball rolling," Desmond said. "It is what it is. What are you going to do? Sit back? That doesn't ever work. It'll get going."
The Nationals' offense finally got going in the sixth, when the most unlikely catalyst -- Strasburg -- singled up the middle and scored on a Bryce Harper groundout three batters later. Denard Span (single) and Tyler Moore (walk) also reached base, but were stranded at the corners when Desmond struck out to end the inning.
The Nationals haven't scored in 34 of their past 37 innings, but Johnson and his players said they aren't concerned. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny agreed.
"I don't even look at them as scuffling," Matheny said. "They're a team to worry about. They're a good club, and they're going to score their share of runs. It's just a matter of when."
Despite his fourth quality start of the season, Strasburg fell to 1-4. Johnson will insert Steve Lombardozzi into Thursday's lineup, most likely at third base. And with four-game series against the Reds and Braves looming, the quiet players in the Nationals' clubhouse hope they can catch their offensive stride sooner rather than later.
"This is definitely not the end of the world," Werth said. "We're just going through it. ... Hopefully we'll get over this soon and start playing good baseball and things will start going our way. At some point, I really do believe the ball will start bouncing our way."

Hi all, I am not quite sure who can answer this. But I met a CC warrior through FB and I keep telling her to sign up on this site. She said she has tried (a while ago) and never received anything back. I talk about this site often to her and tell her how wonderful it is. She is very excited to become a member, but she is just encountering some problems. Her name is Sherie Cole Deslise in case anyone has seen that name over the last few weeks. I honestly forget what the sign up process entailed? Is she supposed to receive an email or something? Thanks all for your help. Good day!

Just got back from a visit to K.C.MO. Had a great time with the family. While there I wanted to try some of the local BBQ. I thought I'd try some places that I hadn't been before.
First let me say that you chatter boxes make it hard to take a vacation! My eyes are tired from all the catching up.
Now K.C. is known for it's great BBQ, but this year they've had to compete with the back yard Q. And let me tell you it wasn't even close!
I wanted to visit several restaurants but only had time for two. The wife & I went to LC's on Wednesday with a good friend. He ordered a rack of ribs and we got the mixed plate and a large side of beans, that way we could all share and sample a little of everything. I found the pork, turkey, and ham to be good but not great as I had very high expectations from a joint that rated 9.8 on the BBQ rictor scale. The beef (sliced brisket) however, was another story altogether. I can see how this place could ride to the top on the brisket alone. I'm not sure what they do so differently to the beef to give it such a distinctive smokiness over the rest of their meats, but it sure was good! The ribs had a good flavor but in my opinion were not cooked to doneness. The meat hadn't shrunk back from the end of the bone and it took an effort to bite the meat off the bone. I feel they were pulled off too early to fill and order. LC's BBQ sauce was good. I would probably describe it as "safe" for the general public. It wasn't too sweet, too spicy, to vinegary, or too ketchupy. It was thick enough to stick to the food and if used in moderation, didn't overpower the flavor of the meat. I've saved the best for last! Let me tell you the baked beans were awesome. A little on the sweet side, but the smoke and beef flavors were well balanced. Quite easily the best baked beans I have ever had. Anyone going to LC's must try the sliced beef and baked beans. Be sure to mention that you want the sauce on the side or they will slather everything. It was a treat to actually meet and shake hands with L.C. himself. He was sitting at a table next to us reading the newspaper.
Thursday was my mother's birthday so we Que'd at my sister's house. We smoked a brisket and a Boston Butt overnight and added 3 racks of pork ribs to the smoker in the morning. I have a sister that doesn't care much for pork that now wants to learn how to make pulled pork. The brisket got a little too hot, 208*, and was so tender and juicy that it took a really share knife to cut it without tearing it apart. And everyone in the family agreed that the ribs were the best they've ever had. I was glad to hear compliments on the ribs because my brother-in-law had recently bought his smoker so I was teaching him how to use it and he did the ribs from start to finish. All in all it was agreed that you just can't get this kind of food at most restaurants. The party was a hit. Now if I can just get the family to agree on other things.
Friday, our last day in town, we went to Arthur Bryant's since we had heard so much about it. The wife got pork ribs, I had a mixed tray of beef, chicken & ribs (they said the pork wasn't done), my sister ordered and open faced burnt-ends sandwich which they are famous for, and the BIL went with the sliced beef sandwich. Starting with the best, it was definitely the ribs. The meat pulled back from the end of the bone as they should and they were tender. Mine were somehow better than the ones my wife ordered. She couldn't eat the last one and gave it to me and it had an off flavor, almost like you would get from lighting charcoal with lighter fluid (been a long time since I've tasted that). The burnt-ends were really good too. I would have liked them better without the sauce but that's the way they are prepared there. Speaking of their sauce, they had two kinds on the table: one was sweet and the other vinegary and bitter. I really didn't care for either. I had been forewarned that you'll either love the sauce or hate it, no middle of the road. I did however eat the sauce in the chicken and beef as they were on the dry side and didn't have much flavor. I realize there are good days & bad even at the best of restaurants but I expected more from the 9.4 rated establishment. There were a lot more folks eating here and a lot more tables too seat them. In fact it was almost to capacity and we went at 2:30pm after the noon rush. But I would have to recommend LC's out of the two.
My final answer… you just can't beat back yard grub!

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The Ohio Attorney General's Office is appealing a court's ruling that cleared the name of a man who spent more than five years on death row for a pair of slayings he didn't commit.
Last month a Franklin County judge finally declared Dale Johnston innocent in the 1982 slayings. That now allows him to seek compensation from the state.
The Logan Daily News (http://bit.ly/QL43xH ) reports that the appeal was filed earlier this week. The state through the years has consistently blocked Johnston's efforts to be compensated.
Johnston was sentenced to die in 1984 for the shooting deaths of his teenage stepdaughter and her fiance. The shaky case against him toppled on appeal, and he was freed in 1990.
Another man confessed in 2008 to slaughtering the couple.

Hey guys! I'm new to these forums, and I must say they look great.
Anyway, what I'm trying to do is install BT3 beta on a machine of mine. I checked the MD5 and it works on my WinXP lappy.
However when I try to boot it on my other machine, it gets to the graphics settings, like on a normal boot, but when I try to select any of the options, even text mode, I get presented with a black screen.
Nothing happens.
Any support would be very nice. :D
Thank you.

Did you know?
The Zulu name uKhahlamba means 'barrier of spears', while Drakensberg means 'dragon mountain'.
While guided tours and porters now make it possible for those of average fitness to tackle the Amphitheatre Heritage Trail, you'll still need plenty of perseverance and stamina to conquer the 1 200m ascent, where you'll be on the Roof of Africa.
'This is one of the most popular of the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg hikes,' says Sarah Drew, who specialises in guided hikes in the area.
The Amphitheatre, she explains, is a massive rock wall, creating one of the most dramatic features in the Drakensberg range: 'It rises 1000m from the Tugela Valley, extending across for 5km across, from the Eastern Buttress to Sentinel Peak.'
The Amphitheatre Heritage Trail spans the Free State, KwaZulu-Natal and Lesotho, and the most popular option is to do 25km to 30km over three days.
Hiking through grasslands and indigenous yellowwood forests, visitors have the chance to see plenty of wildlife, including eland, mountain reedbuck, baboons and endemic birds such as the Drakensberg rockjumper.
The route includes the famous chain ladders – two sections, of 40m and 20m, solidly bolted into the rock – which visitors climb to get to the top of the escarpment, also known as the Roof of Africa.
Here you will find the source of the Tugela Falls, which plunge 948m over the face of the Amphitheatre down to Royal Natal Park below. If the chain ladders are not for you, there is an alternative option of hiking up a gully to get to the top.
If you're fit you can carry your own backpack; if you prefer a porter, this can be organised. Experienced trail guides pace the hike according to fitness levels, with refuel and rest stops along the way.
For those who want to rough it, guides can organise an alternative route with caves where visitors can stay overnight.
For those who prefer comfort, there are inviting tented camps and lodges along the hike, offering delicious food, a hot bath and a comfortable bed at the end of each day.

Drive from Johannesburg, Durban or Bloemfontein, all of which are about 350km from Witsieshoek – 1 of the starting points of the hike (the drive from each of these cities will take about 4 hours).
Best time to visit
All year round. In summer it is wise to make the most of the mornings, and presume afternoons will be wet. Days are shorter in winter but the weather is more stable and the whole day can usually be used for hiking. Spring (August to October) and summer (October to April) are the best months for wild flowers.
Around the area
The Drakensberg is an adventurer's haven, with a choice of exciting hikes, horse and mountain bike trails and wonderful places to stay.
What will it cost
A guided hike with Drakensberg Hikes (minimum two persons, large groups accommodated) costs between R3100 and R3450 per person for the three-day hike, including accommodation, all meals, a guide and porters (optional).
Length of stay
The Amphitheatre Hiking Trail generally takes 3 days, but it is such a beautiful area you'll want to spend a week in the region if you can.
What to pack
Hiking clothes and boots, good socks, rain jackets, thermal underwear. Your hike organiser will tell you exactly what you need.
Where to stay
There are lodges, tented camps and backpackers along the way. If sleeping in caves is your thing, this can be arranged with your hike organiser.
What to eat
The guided hikes are fully catered, but it's always good to pack a few of your own snacks to nibble along the way.

WEYMOUTH Sports saw their winless run stretched to four games following a 3-1 defeat against Gillingham Town Reserves at Cranford Avenue.
Sports put up a better performance than the previous week but conceded some sloppy goals during another frustrating afternoon.
Joint-boss Chris Hicks told Echosport: "It was disappointing again. We were a bit better but it still wasn't good enough.
"In the first half we started a bit slowly again and were sloppy and wasteful in possession.
"Then, just when it looked like we were getting a grip on the game, they grabbed a fortuitous opener which took a deflection, leaving James Parkes completely wrong footed.
"Even then we still didn't get going with two or three players going for the same ball at times, which ended up leading to their second.
"This time there was a bit of miscommunication at the back and when James came to take the ball and missed it, one of their lads stuck it away.
"After that it was always going to be hard but we did manage to pull one back when Josh Stroud's free-kick from the right was turned in by one of their defenders.
"In the second half, we then came out and looked a bit brighter. The tempo of our play was much better and our passing was a lot more precise but unfortunately the damage had already been done.
"Being a counter-attacking team, Gillingham sat deep and in the end caught us on the break to grab a third. There was a suspicion of offside attached to it but the lad took it well and they deserved their win."
One positive to come from the game for Sports was the debut appearance of ex-Weymouth midfielder Rich-ard Marshallsay.
Hicks added: "Richard went off to the Marines but is going to help us out whenever he is back, which is great.
"Not only is he a very good player but he is a nice lad too, so it is great to have him on board."
Sports now sit eighth in the Dorset Senior League, just three points above the bottom two having played more games than everybody else.
Sports: Parkes, Stroud (Austin 80), Bessant, Schofield (Windust 60), Hicks, Culpin, W Sonner, Dixon, Marshallsay, Taylor (Miles-Bell 60), M Sonner.

New York, New York – so good they named it twice! Definitely on the 'Bucket List' of most seasoned travellers, book a flight to New York with Qatar Airways and discover one of the most exciting, vibrant and extraordinary cities in the world. Flights to New York operate from all major international departure points, so ticking this particular must-visit location off your own personal bucket list has never been easier.
Take your pick – Times Square, the Statue of Liberty, The Brooklyn Bridge, The Empire State Building, world-class museums, Central Park, and much more – one trip to New York is never enough to see all the sites that the 'city that never sleeps' has to offer. The city is divided into five boroughs – Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island. Each borough has its own selection of tourist attractions, so it's worth planning your time carefully so that you can see as much as possible. The iconic attraction is, of course, the 'Lady' herself – the Statue of Liberty. She features heavily on any tour of the city, and in fact a tour is probably the best way to see everything on offer.
A good way to save money on a host of attractions is to purchase an Explorer Pass. This lets you visit up to seven attractions over a 30-day period, including the Museum of Modern Art, a Rockefeller Center Tour, a variety of tours and, of course, a trip to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. There are plenty of other tours to choose from, including helicopter tours of the Brooklyn bay, cruises and guided tours through the city itself.
New York is what you make of it, and whatever you want to do during your trip to New York is accessible, as long as you're prepared to keep pace with the frantic New York way of life! There's nothing 'relaxed and laid back' about New York, which is why most New Yorkers head out of the city at the weekend. You can find a respite from the insanely fast pace in Central Park, the city's only real green space.
If you want culture and the arts during your trip to New York, then you have plenty to choose from. The city is packed full of world-class museums and galleries. The must-sees are the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in addition to the Guggenheim and Museum of Modern Art (MOMA). It's also well worth taking a trip to The Cloisters, in Fort Tryon Park in Upper Manhattan. Part of the 'Met', this tucked-away gem is home to a magnificent collection of medieval art
Broadway is the heart of theatreland. Everything from small 'off-Broadway' productions (check the side streets for the smaller theatres) to the major shows is on offer. For classical music with internationally renowned performers, head to Carnegie Hall, and for outstanding opera, a visit to the Metropolitan Opera House in Lincoln Center is a must.
The New York City area is also host to several of the most popular professional teams and stadiums in the world. Located in midtown Manhattan, Madison Square Garden is home to both the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League and the New York Knicks of the NBA. During the summer, head to Queens to watch the New York Mets or to the Bronx to see the New York Yankees. Tennis fans can also visit the US Open Tennis Championships in August and September, also located in Queens. American football fans can watch both the New York Giants and New York Jets at nearby Metlife Stadium in New Jersey, just a short train ride away from downtown New York City.
From street vendors selling pretzels and Halal cuisine to internationally recognised restaurants, food is a New York obsession. A trip to New York has to include New York style pizza, a slice of New York cheesecake, and some of the best falafels outside the Middle East. From the middle of July to mid-August is New York Restaurant 'week' (it actually goes on for considerably longer than a week!) where visitors can try some of the best restaurants in the city for a greatly reduced price.
No matter what your preference – from African to Vietnamese, there's at least one restaurant in New York serving your favourite food. Vegetarians are well catered for, and there are also opportunities to experience the American twist on fine dining, particularly in the more up-market restaurants on and around 42nd street.
From credit-card busting luxury to 'thrift stores' and markets, anyone travelling to New York to hit the shops is not going to be disappointed. First stop, the department stores on 59th Street, where you'll find home-grown American produce alongside top designer brands, and the prices aren't as eye-wateringly expensive as you'd think. For top of the line designer fashion head to Fifth Avenue or Madison Avenue, and for the trendy and avante garde shopper it has to be the cobbled streets of SoHo.
Flights to New York with Qatar Airways arrive at JFK International Airport.

Eye To Eyebeam: A Conversation With Carrie Mae Rose
Eye to Eyebeam is a series on Eyebeam's artists in residence and fellows that includes interviews, photos, and other information on Eyebeam's artists and creative technologists. It is authored by Eyebeam intern Katherine DiPierro.
Carrie Mae Rose's work is intended to make you feel vulnerable. Her projects, which include sculptural mandalas made of confiscated scissors and razors and a proposed necklace constructed out of violet wands (a relative of the Tesla coil), are literally on the cutting edge. More importantly, her projects lay bare the culture of militarization that's become so pervasive recently, and examine its influence on pop culture, education, entertainment, and high fashion. Eyebeam intern Katherine DiPierro sat down with Carrie Mae for a conversation on the intersection of technology and vulnerability.
Katherine DiPierro: What are you planning to do during your residency?
Carrie Mae Rose: I am planning to build a series of interactive costumes I call Wearable Weapons. I will be testing and collaborating to create at least 2 or 3 collars that use devices called Violet Wands that are placed in large wearable armatures. Violets Wands are sold both to the police department and the S&M community and are generally described as either self defense products or highly erotic electro-stimulation tools. The wands have a variety of intensity levels that do anything from burn to arouse the end receiver. I'm still working out what kind of interactivity the pieces will have, but the working idea is that they will respond both to sound and movement.
KD: Just how deadly are your "wearable weapons"?
CMR: Well, they aren't built yet, so not at all. Though of course, the Violet Wands can actually burn people on some settings, so the core materials aren't exactly safe. That said, my ultimate intention is to provoke rather than harm. They playfully bring a heightened sense of reverence and one needs to handle them with educated caution.
KD: Much of your past work links nature to technology, whether through digital storytelling (uniVerses), dressmaking (the Agave Armor dress), or simply synthesizing naturalistic sounds. Cold you tell me more about your process of meshing together analog and digital elements?
CMR: To be honest, my main focus isn't so concerned with the pairing of the analog and the digital. The question I've been asking with this body of work is how do I visually represent the feeling of being vulnerable. For me, there's an equivalency between feeling vulnerable and the sensation of burning. You get this heightened sense of awareness; you want to hide; you want to move. I think this is similar to what fire or lightning might do, so it seemed natural to use electricity as a medium to explore these ideas.
KD: You've studied and performed Butoh; having never heard of it, I looked online for more information about the medium. It seems butoh eludes definition - it's not quite a style or practice of improvisational dance, but it's more than just a state of mind. How do you define butoh?
CMR: As I understand it, Butoh is a Japanese form of dancing with the darkness. Butoh emerged after WWII as a response to individual internal states of pain, oppression, and despair. It challenged conventional notions of dance while helping the dancer transform into other states of being. It allows the performer to explore a full spectrum of states of raw sexuality, grotesqueness, darkness, and decay. My art has always been a tool for healing and awakening and I am inspired by and greatly respect this form of performance art. My teacher, Diego Pinons, says this: Butoh challenges us to awaken and explore all human qualities ranging from the subtle to the outrageous, both beautiful and ugly. Butoh seeks the emergence of the deeper self, to touch if only for a moment, the inexplicable matter of the human soul.

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas - Crime Stoppers and Investigators with the Harris County Sheriff's Office say they are searching for two masked gunmen responsible for a robbery at a Harris County grocery store on Sunday.
Deputies said they responded to a robbery call on Feb. 3 from the grocery store located on the 11200 block of Perry Road.
At 12:05 am, deputies said two Hispanic men, both wearing hooded sweatshirts and bandanas, went into the store, which was all captured by the store's surveillance system.
The first gunman, who carried a shotgun, leaped over the county and through the protective glass, according to authorities. He allegedly began to strike the victim as the second gunman demanded cash from the register.
In fear, authorities said the victim gave the two men approximately $400 in cash, which the second gunman put into a backpack. Both suspects then fled the scene on foot.18472672
Investigators describe the first gunman as a Hispanic male between the ages of 17 and 20, between 6-foot 1-inch to 6-foot 2-inches and weighs about 160 to 180 pounds. The gunman wore a black hooded sweatshirt, dark jeans and a red bandana covering his face.
The second gunman is described by investigators as a Hispanic male also between the ages of 17-20, between 5-foot 7-inches to 5-foot 11-inches and weighs about 190 to 220 pounds. The second gunman wore a dark hooded sweatshirt, dark jeans and a red bandana covering his face.
If you happen to know anything about this incident, you are asked to call Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-514-0370.

NORTH BRUNSWICK — They're back.
The Broad Street Park Post 313 American Legion team struggled a bit offensively the last week of the regular season and starting pitcher Cody Astbury allowed a season-high six runs in the first threeinnings against West Windsor-Plainsboro in his final start.
Both the offense and Astbury were back on point Sunday.
BSPpounded out 14 hits and Astbury went the distance, scattering 10 hits in a 9-3 win over South Brunswick Post 401 in the District 2 tournament opener for both teams at North Brunswick's Community Park.
"This is basically our high school team (Hamilton) and we killed the ball all year," said John Lansing, who was 2for3 with a pair of walks and drove in two runs.
All 10 batters who went to the plate had at least one hit for Post 313 while Dave Osnato had a pair of booming doubles.
"We have confidence in everybody coming up to bat and I feel like everybody specializes in something that gets a run in; whether it's bunting or stealing a base or just getting the fielders off guard," Lansing said.
The three non-Hornets in the lineup got into the act as well.
Lou Potts (Florence) had a hit and a walk and scored a run, Cody Billings (Notre Dame grad) was 2for4 with a sacrifice fly, and Cole McManimon (PDS) had a two-run single in the four-run third inning that put BSP ahead to stay.
"They've been pretty solid all year. We know how they play.They might be overlooked but we see them on a daily basis," Lansing said. "These kids come out, they play as hard as they can for the love of the game."
Staked to a 4-1 lead after the third inning rally — Astbury went about doing what he does best — throwing strikes and forcing the opposing hitters to put the ball in play on his terms.
"He's probably one of the best around at pitching with the lead," said BSP manager Mike Petrowski. "I don't know how many first pitch ground balls to third and how many quick innings he got. His pitch count wasn't high."
Astbury recorded just three strikeouts, but after giving up a long home run to South Brunswick's Nick Veglia in the second, the Post 314 right-hander changed speeds and worked quickly — keeping his fielders in the game and avoiding any walks.
"I just tried to get ahead of batters and try to pitch my game," who was determined to finish his first nine inning game of the season. "In the eighth inning they started warming somebody else up but I didn't want to come out. I just went out there and kept pitching to try and stay in there."
In the final inning South Brunswick put a pair of runners on base, but thanks to a nice third to first double play by Lansing and then a pop up for the final out he was able to do that.
"Today I think we went back to how we used to be. How we used to fight all the time and we hit a lot better than we've been hitting," Astbury said. "I guess towards of the season some of the guys got tired and lazy and slacked off. But now we're coming to a new tournament and the energy's back up there."

Dazl1212 replied to Dazl1212's topic in Maintenance / Servicing / MOT DiscussionsYeah I found a wiring diagram and I have the haynes manual. I'm going to have a look at the weekend see if I can see anything else that may cause an issue and reseal all the lights with sealant. Hopefully it wont happen again and I can relax. Thanks for your help I wouldn't have checked if it wasn't for your post. I agree Stoney I hope it was.
Dazl1212 replied to Dazl1212's topic in Maintenance / Servicing / MOT DiscussionsJust an update. I had a look at the rear indicator cluster and it was slightly wet and the earth connection bolt was half undone. Im going to seal the rear clusters and have tightend up the earth. Hoping this was all it was but I'm going to check out the front as well. Cheers for your help so far Dan
Dazl1212 replied to Dazl1212's topic in Maintenance / Servicing / MOT DiscussionsHi Dan Got it back from the garage yesterday and its running find and they can find no fault with it. Ive managed to get an ecu fault reader so I'm hoping I can catch it next time it does it. It seems to happen if I do a long stop start journey. The first warning is when the right indicator comes on solid. It cuts out as I'm slowing down to get to a roundabout or traffic lights or just etc. Then getting it to move is a nightmare as it backfires and seems to have no power. Then if its left for a few hours the problem seems to go away for a while. That's why when he came to put it on his computer the problem had gone and it couldn't be replicated. The garage seem to think the light coming on is a symptom rather than the actual problem. But they seem as confused as me and I'm very confused.
Dazl1212 replied to Dazl1212's topic in Maintenance / Servicing / MOT DiscussionsHi Dan, thank you for your reply. It is completely standard as far as I can tell. i have it in the garage for them to hook it up to the computer. He seems to think it is the actual assembly for the hazard multi function switch assembly. I hope it is. Any idea how I would go about fixing it if it isn't just the relay for the indicator and hazards??
Dazl1212 posted a topic in Maintenance / Servicing / MOT DiscussionsHi guys I have a Fiesta MK4 1.3 which has developed an intermittant fault. Occasionally when I am driving the cars right indicator light comes on solid . When it does this it will stall when I slow down and when it restarts it cuts out as soon as I try to set off. It seems to like doing this at roundabouts. I took it to a garage but as the fault wasnt happening at the time they couldnt do much other than hook it up to the computer which came up with no faults. Another garage I took it to said it seems to be something to do with the hazard light switch. Does anybody have any idea what it could be? I have cleaned the Idle valve and fitted a new gasket. I'm getting close to just scrapping it as its dangerous and seems like it could be a money pit. Any help is appreciated

Three days, half a bag of frozen green beans, six potatoes
and as many eggs later, Daisy's skin had stopped flaking. The
appointment was cancelled. We had smiley, joyful Daisy in our lives for
three more years. She kept a healthy coat of the palest yellow, a trace
of which we find on sweater sleeves to this day.
Although Daisy's
homemade hash was a whole lot cheaper than cans of unpalatable
wheat-free, embryonic rice and lamb cuticle pate´, we did go through a
lot of potatoes, green beans and/or corn and eggs. For two years we
bought seed potatoes, intending to grow our own crop. Each year, usually
in August, one of us would unearth a rancid bundle of creamed seed
potatoes from the junk drawer, a glove compartment or from the depths of
my purse.
We lost Daisy in 2010, but we didn't stop thinking
about the dozens of eggs that she so enjoyed. That same year we were
gifted a dozen brown eggs, smooth oval jewels that had been collected
from nests the same day that we received them. From these Steve crafted
scrumptious omelets, which we ate while surfing the net for five-star
Ohio hatcheries. In short order, 15 Hubbard Golden Comets were scheduled
for shipment to our house via the United States Postal Service.
chicks arrived two weeks later. Steve named them all Priscilla (the
reason for that is a story in itself) and raised them by hand. Once the
peeps became cheeps, the Prissies were moved into a butter-yellow
henhouse 20 feet from our kitchen door, although they preferred to be
close by whoever came out that entrance. One of them presented an egg
right before Christmas, which was the first of many that we enjoyed with
toast and neighbor Bill Utendorf's honey.
The last Prissy died in
late 2013. We found that Comets don't live that long. They are bred to
lay, lay lay and give up the ghost, one way or the other. Several
chickens of various breeds have joined our flock, a few ordered and
others cruelty or abandonment cases that came to us via humane
organizations. Audrey was a debeaked production red who fell off a
slaughter truck along I-75. Even so, she preferred human companionship,
going so far as to perch on a knee during morning coffee or jumping in
the car for a ride. Other than the original 16, Audrey was the only
chicken in our company to allow human interaction until two weeks ago,
when we opened the hen house and Little Red perched on Steve's shoulder.
don't know if it's a food-driven behavior, cold feet or the sheer joy
of temperatures above 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Whatever causes this
red-brown, black-tailed hen to seek us out, I'll enjoy each encounter.
We may get no farther than store-bought potatoes at our place, but you
can't beat a fresh egg gifted by a happy chicken.

Motorized Snack Float | SkyMall
Too lazy to paddle over to the side of the pool for some drinks or snacks? Problem solved. Get someone to get the snacks for you (here's where I see the flaw in this item...), place them in the pool, and then you just zoom them over to yourself with your remote control. I guess that means you have to hold a remote control in the pool, but wouldn't that electrocute you? I'm so confused.

Topic: CA 19-9 lab values
Hello, all:
I have my CA 19-9 level checked at each lab visit. I know this is a tumor marker and is supposed to indicate the level of activity of the cancer. However, I have no frame of reference. Normal is under 35, but what is considred "high" or "medium-high" or "through the roof"? Mine have been hanging around 58-64 for the past 4 months.
Can anyone contribute to my understanding of this mysterious tumor marker? Thanks!

text: I'm sure there are others out there, but I've found the IBM T42 Thinkpads to be very compatiable with BT3 (no graphic, sound, usb, power or other issues). The 1 thing that it doesn't meet your requirements is that the internal card is a broadcom. However, since I get them cheap off of eBay (usually less than $325) used/refurbished, I either replace the internal card with an inexpensive Atheros based one (also off of eBay) or I use a Ubiquiti SRC pcmcia card. Also, on the plus side, they are rather sturdy and can handle a good bit of rough handling.

eh, i will wait and see what the real iphone will look like when they announce it...
until then no rumors for me.
They need to:
1) Up the screen size;
2) Make serious changes to the graphical UI (icon redesigns, like the Clock, Calendar and Photos - they look thrown together; no more gloss, etc);
3) Flashing indicator of missed notifications
There's tons more but the first two should definitely happen...
If the next iPhone doesn't have a larger screen, I might have to consider a Samsung.
Rumors are retarded all they are are people that guess on what it will be on earlier predictions. These people's rumors are just rumors they can't back up any of it. They just have more valued opinions because they guessed once and got it right. I mean is it seriously a rumor it's going to be lte? Anyone can predict that then get credit for the prediction even though it basically a fact. It's like if I say " apple will make the product quad core with an a6 processor". It's a no duh statement
Yeah. I'd like to see the iPhone maintain its current thin and small profile with a power- hogging 4G LTE chip, Siri, FaceTime, retina display and fancy camera tech inside it while keeping the same size battery. That should go well with maybe 4 hours of talk time and 100 hours of standby if you're lucky.
I don't see that working out to well. I just don't.
Guess ill just have to see how the Galaxy S3 turns out.
A 4.5inch or bigger screen is like watching a teenage boy driving his lifted chevy truck. Sure it looks cool, but the functionality and form factor is ruined.
How about we start a rumour that the next iPhone will have a 2.4" screen - if enough people say they really want it then it will counter the people asking for a larger screen and keep it the same as the vast majority of people actually want - ie 3.5"
If MMi continue to post every single rumour about the next iPhone one of them might actually prove to be right.
But I doubt it.
