I've created a website for my girlfriend's lingerie company using Opencart, and being completely honest the look and feel of the site needs a huge overhaul.
We've both spent a considerable amount of time looking at themes for Opencart but couldn't find anything suitable (she shortlisted 6 themes, along with pages of notes, but isn't particularly happy with any of them) but then stumbled across this Magento theme which she absolutely loves.
She's now keen to move across to Magento, but noticed how slow the site is, and reading up on performance issues in Magento ([1 , [URL="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1639213/why-is-magento-so-slow"]2](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9248024/magento-vs-opencart)) as well as the many features locked away in the very costly Enterprise edition is quite off-putting.
I'm basically wondering if we should move the site to Magento, or if I should try to re-create something with a similar look in Opencart? Opencart certainly hasn't been perfect for us (in particular we've had a lot of email configuration problems, that still won't let us send HTML emails) but on the whole I've been happy with it, and the performance is great.
Would really appreciate any thoughts on this, since moving to Magento would be a huge commitment and not one we could easily backtrack on at a later date
Thank you!
Sounds like moving to another CMS is a big operation, so personally, I'd be looking at a reskin, as CSS is easier to work with (at least for me).
If you do want to move, though, what other options have you looked at? Admittedly, I haven't done an ecommerce site, but if I were to, I'd seriously consider either going with something like Shopify, or, if I wanted to host the site myself, I'd go for ExpressionEngine with an add-on like CartThrob. Just my 2c.
Thank you! I've never heard of CartThrob but I'll check it out now
Its limitation is that it only works with the CMS I mentioned, but it's a great CMS, all the same, so worth looking into. EE has a number of such add-ons, such as Store, so it's worth checking them all out before deciding which is right for you.
There are so many options out there that I don't envy you having to choose something. If you use a particular website CMS in the normal run of things, it's easier to make a choice, as you can just go with something that works with your CMS. WordPress has several as well.
Then again, if the site is mainly an ecommerce site, there's reason to stick with the sort of dedicated ecommerce CMS that you are already using.
Thanks ralph... it is going to just be an ecommerce site (plus a blog that is already in Wordpress) so it is tempting to stick with a dedicated CMS like you said Thanks again
OpenCart is a lot easier to use and maintain than Magento in my opinion. Opencart vs Magento - I would stay with the first.
Since you already use WordPress, did you consider some of its shopping cart plugins? Woocommerce is a popular one, and it shouldn't be a problem to find suitable WordPress theme.
Also, if you could find decent theme for Joomla there is a shopping cart component for it called MijoShop, which is based on OpenCart. It's compatible with all OpenCart extensions so transfer would be easy.
Hopefully Ralph chose Magento for it's scalability and open source power. Also don't forget to mention the huge developer network and plugins to trick it out. You also can't beat the cost at FREE for Community, but you do need a development team that knows their way around the platform <snip/>
I think Magento better than Opencart , but magento need Secondary development !
Magento is better for big projects, with a lot of developers. It's hard to run magento on your own.
Magento will be good choice for you but for quick process it will not be a good option as migration requires time and developers effort. You may find many bugs and issues later.
And if its ok for you to launch the website with new magento theme then you may migrate your site from opencart to magento.
from my experience, i think Opencart is better, because it's easy to use and faster.
Magento is professional and standard. Rather than open cart Magento can be preferred.
Other than that you can prefer shopify, xcart and uniecommerce.
I like opencart bcoz it's fantastic performance, coding is simple, using MVC architecture , bug free but for magento you need to have good hands in php otherwise it would become nightmare for you.
I can say opencart is very handy. Since they use vqmod, i like it very much. It is much easier to make modification.

Gustav Almestål grew up in Tibro, a small town surrounded by the vast woods in Sweden. Such a place where people say the wind blows and the cold bites. After finished his education at School of photography in Gothenburgh he left the country for London where he assisted Corrine Day and Mario Testino among others. In London his interest grew for good food and excellent wine and (as a consequence?) still life. But having a delicate mind, Almestål also developed a deep interest in the decay of mankind and in the beauty of death in a wider sense. Gustavs photography is clean and stripped down, he has brilliant eye for detail and leaves nothing to chance. These days he lives and work in Stockholm.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's live interview dated September 5th, 2011
Surah Al-'Imran, 102-105
You who believed! Have fear of Allah the way He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims.
Allah says we must die as Muslims.
Hold fast to the rope of Allah all together, and do not separate.
What does He mean by all together? Muslims in Pakistan and Turkey, in Libya and Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria. Allah commands Muslims all over the world to:
"Hold fast to the rope of Allah all together,"
Cling tightly to the Qur'an.
"Do not separate"
People have chosen be disunited and fragmented, rather than united and unified. They are both disunited and separated. They disobey Allah's two commands. They are fragmented and unaware even of one another's existence. Yet He says,:
"Hold fast to the rope of Allah all together,"
Be brothers. Be united.
"and do not separate. Remember Allah's blessing to you when you were enemies..."They fight with one another, don't they? Many Muslim countries are currently hostile to one another.
"He joined your hearts together so that you became brothers by His blessing."
What are believers? Brothers.
"You were on the very brink of a pit of the Fire and He rescued you from it."As you were about to enter hell, to suffer scourges. To suffer anarchy and terror.
"In this way Allah makes His Signs clear to you, so that hopefully you will be guided."
What do they say? "We can skip these verses." But then what remains? They say we should perform our recitations at home, from morning to night. But while you are doing that, that are raping children in Afghanistan. They are butchering Muslims. And you want to spread Allah's religion by recitations. You must spread it by waging jihad and preaching. You cannot do it by going home and never going out again, by just lying about. Jihad is an urgent matter. It means striving with all one's might. That is what you must do.
"Let there be a community among you who call to the good, and enjoin the right, and forbid the wrong."
Allah wants there to be a group responsible for preaching.
"They are the ones who have success"
That is what all Muslims must do. Others do not enjoy success, Allah says. "They are the ones who have success," He says.
"Do not be like those who split up and differed after the Clear Signs came to them."A clear sign; the Qur'an appeared. What about division? They have been divided in the most intense manner. Separation? That, too.
But they insist on falling into division. There are sectarian and communitarian differences. They fall into divisions. They are divided. The Islamic world is totally fragmented.
"They will have a terrible punishment"He says. That is the reason for the afflictions befalling the Islamic world. What does Allah say? They will have a terrible punishment." Allah will punish them.
I have read just a few of the hundreds of verses referring to Islamic Union.

PHOENIX (AP) -- A sore elbow couldn't slow Pablo Sandoval.
The San Francisco third baseman hit a two-run homer with one out in the top of the ninth inning and the Giants rallied to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 2-1 on Tuesday night.
Sandoval was taken out of the Giants' win Monday by manager Bruce Bochy after hitting a tying RBI single in the fifth inning because of discomfort in his right elbow. After Tuesday's game, his right arm was wrapped in ice from his forearm to shoulder, but the pain couldn't erase his wide smile.
''I don't want to come out of the game,'' Sandoval said. ''But he made a good point and said, 'I'd rather lose you for two at-bats than for three weeks.' ''Today, I came out and felt good, less pain. I told Bochy I want to play. I don't want to come out. I just want to play.''
Sandoval also singled in the fourth against Arizona starter Trevor Cahill and is 11 for 17 in his past four games.
''He's swinging good,'' Bochy said. ''When you get a good hitter like that in the zone, it's fun to watch. We weren't sure he was going to play, but he shows up, says he fine, and ends up swinging the bat well.''
Cahill left after allowing a leadoff single to Angel Pagan, the Giants' fourth hit against the right-hander. J.J. Putz (2-1) came on for Arizona and struck out Marco Scutaro, and quickly went ahead 0-1 on Sandoval.
But Sandoval drove Putz's next pitch, a hanging split-finger fastball, deep into the right-field stands to give the Giants the lead and hand the struggling Diamondbacks closer his fourth blown save in nine chances.
''It seems like every time I leave one of those up it's getting crushed right now,'' Putz said. ''It's frustrating. I made some pretty good pitches on Scutaro, some good pitches on (Buster) Posey (following Sandoval). The one to Sandoval just didn't come out of my hand right.''
It was San Francisco's second straight come-from-behind victory, rallying for a 6-4 win in the series opener Monday.
Sandy Rosario (1-0) recorded the last out of the eighth inning for his first career win, and Sergio Romo pitched the ninth for his 10th save.
Josh Wilson had given the Diamondbacks a 1-0 lead with a home run in the bottom of the eighth off Santiago Casilla, who had come on after Madison Bumgarner threw seven scoreless innings. It was Wilson's first homer since June 25, 2011, for Milwaukee at Florida.
The late-inning power display was in sharp contrast to the game's first 7 1/2 innings. Bumgarner allowed three hits, walked one and struck out two before giving way for a pinch hitter when his spot in the lineup came up in the eighth.
Cahill's line to that point was slightly better, with five strikeouts to go with the three hits and one walk through eight innings.
''I figured he would leave me in until I got somebody on,'' Cahill said. ''It's real frustrating when it is so close and you can't finish it out. You're going to kick yourself even more than if you only went three and gave up 10 runs. It's a bad feeling.''
Only two players had reached base during the game for either side, both in the fourth. Scutaro singled to lead off the inning for the Giants and went to third on a single and fielder's choice, while Martin Prado singled to start the bottom of the inning and advanced on a two-out single.
The pitchers' duel was nothing new for Cahill, who has pitched in only one game decided by more than two runs so far. In his last four starts, both teams have combined for an average of 4.0 runs per game, including a 1-0 victory over Los Angeles on April 14 in which Cahill earned a no-decision after trading zeroes with Josh Beckett for 7 1/3 innings.
Over his past two starts, Cahill has allowed two runs - one earned - on eight hits over 13 innings.
''I didn't want him to take the loss,'' said Arizona manager Kirk Gibson. ''I had confidence in my closer and it didn't work out.''
Bumgarner struck out two, threw 62 of 102 pitches for strikes and lowered his ERA to 1.55. He became the first Giants pitcher with at least six starts of two or fewer runs since Kevin Correia went seven such outings in 2007.
''It's probably been a little bit of everything,'' Bumgarner said. ''The command's been there, the mechanics have been good and I've felt the same pretty much every time out. I think if you're feeling good and your mechanics are going good it doesn't matter if you have to sit down for a long inning or get up and down so much.''
NOTES: Arizona SS Didi Gregorius, who was hit in the head by a pitch from Colorado's Josh Outman on Friday and subsequently placed on the 7-day concussion list Sunday, passed all concussion exams Tuesday and was cleared to resume baseball activity. The rookie had appeared in seven games, going 11 for 27 with a pair of home runs. ... Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Scutaro will be given the day off Wednesday ahead of San Francisco's scheduled off day Thursday. ... Arizona signed OF Juan Rivera to a minor league contract. Rivera had been with the New York Yankees in spring training on a minor league deal after hitting .244 with nine homers and 47 RBIs for the Los Angeles Dodgers last season. ... The Diamondbacks traded minor league IF Mark Teahen to Cincinnati for a player to be named later. ... Giants LHP Jeremy Affeldt, eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list Wednesday, is scheduled to throw either during an extended spring game or for Class A San Jose and be reinstated Friday. ... Arizona RHP Brandon McCarthy will seek his first win with the Diamondbacks when he faces RHP Tim Lincecum and the Giants in the series finale Wednesday. Lincecum is 7-8 with a 3.44 ERA in 21 career starts against Arizona, but has lost his last six against the Diamondbacks dating to Sept. 29, 2010.

Parliament adjourned over Chinese incursions, coal scam issues
The Parliament today was adjourned for the day as BJP created uproar demanding PM Manmohan Singh's resignation over coal blocks allocation issue and the CBI's affidavit on its probe report draft before the apex court.delhi Updated: Apr 29, 2013 14:19 IST
The Parliament today was adjourned for the day as BJP created uproar demanding PM Manmohan Singh's resignation over coal blocks allocation issue and the CBI's affidavit on its probe report draft before the apex court.
The Parliament was adjourned first till noon, later till 2 pm soon after it met for the day on Monday.
As soon as the Lok Sabha assembled for the day, BJP members led by Ganesh Singh and Sanjay Jaiswal trooped into the Well shouting slogans: "pradhan mantri isteefa do (Prime Minister resign)" and "koyele ki dalali hai, poori Congress kali hai (Congress is tainted in coal scam)".
Samajwadi Party member Shailendra Kumar raised the issue of Chinese incursions into India in Ladakh. "China is capturing the whole country," he said following which his party members walked into the Well.
"The country is in grave danger," Saroj Toofani (SP) said amid din, while his party colleague Neeraj Shekhar shouted that Chinese troops were well inside the Indian territory.
Congress members from Telangana region held placards demanding formation of a separate state as they stood in the aisle.
As the din continued, Speaker Meira Kumar adjourned the House till noon.
Rajya Sabha too witnessed ruckus as BJP members shouted slogans demanding the Prime Minister's resignation as soon as Chairman Hamid Ansari called the House to order.
He asked Prakash Javadekar (BJP) to ask the first question listed against his name.
"I am asking...isteefa kab denge (when will Prime Minister resign)," Javadekar said as slogan shouting members from his party moved into the Well.
Ansari asked members to allow the Question Hour. "For a change, allow Question Hour to proceed," he pleaded with them.
BJP members peppered the slogan shouting with demands for dismissal of Law Minister Ashwani Kumar over the CBI affidavit on the coal scam issue.
As members did not relent, Ansari said, "Under conditions of force majeure, the House is adjourned till 12 pm."
Force majeure is French word which means an unexpected or uncontrollable event.

Dennis M. Crosby, 56, Nightclub Performer
Dennis M. Crosby, one of Bing Crosby's twin sons by his first marriage, was found dead in his home on Saturday. He was 56 years old.
The police said yesterday that he died of a gunshot wound to the head, which was apparently self-inflicted.
A 12-gauge shotgun was found near a sofa, where Mr. Crosby's body lay. The case is being treated as a suicide, said Lieut. William Donovan of the Marin County Sheriff's office.
Dennis Crosby was the second of four sons born to Mr. Crosby and his first wife, Dixie Lee Wyatt Crosby, to commit suicide. Lindsay Crosby, the youngest son, shot himself to death in 1989 in Southern California at the age of 51.
The difficulties of growing up as a child of Bing Crosby were detailed in a 1983 book, "Going My Own Way," by the singer's eldest son, Gary, who portrayed his father as often cold and heartless.
Dennis Crosby, who was regarded as the quietest of the four brothers, nevertheless joined his brothers, including his twin, Philip, in a nightclub act during the late 1950's and early 60's. Known as the Crosby Brothers, they appeared on Ed Sullivan's show and other television programs and in clubs.

|This page needs to be cleaned up to meet the standards of Grand Theft Wiki.
There are many myths regarding Grand Theft Auto IV. Only a couple of these really exist. While some were denied by developer Rockstar Games, the rest can not be proved or disproved. Most of these myths are either misconceptions or made up.
Sprunk Factory Ghost
There is said to be a ghost in the abandoned Sprunk Factory in Alderney. When a shot is fired in the factory a voice can be heard telling the player to leave. However, this is, in fact, just a bodyguard from the Honkers Gentlemen's Club, which is nearby, he will run far across the street to the player and attack with a pistol.
Bloody Bedroom
This is not exactly a myth. However, in an apartment in Liberty City, there is an open door. The bedroom has a massive amount of blood strewn about, making it more likely a piece of miscellaneous interior detail. Also, on the mattress on the floor in the main room and in one of the side rooms is a picture of a policeman (identity unknown) with a pile and three lines of cocaine running across it. This may hint to the fact that the resident had a serious cocaine addiction. There is nobody ever seen living in the apartment which probably means that if there was a cop killer there, the killer himself fled from the obviously undiscovered crime scene. It is located on the apartment in North Holland, Holland. Where Jimmy Kand lives.
It should be noted that the same bloody bed prop, is in the room where Niko was sent to kill Teddy Benavidez, on orders from Ray Boccino.
- video (not seen until 5:02)
The Ratman is believed to be some kind of creature that can be seen in the subways of Liberty City. There are several variations to the fabled "Ratman". Some say he, or it, has sharp claws and teeth, and frightening red eyes, and an incredible running speed, as well as the ability to kill the player instantly. Others say the Ratman is merely a hobo with a unique set of dialogue. There is no proof regarding either. In online mode your player model can be changed to a "Zombie" that resembles a ratman.
Ship Wrecks With Ghosts
There are plenty of ship wrecks surrounding Liberty City and one is believed to hold ghosts.
Growling Noises
These are rare, but they can be heard mostly during nighttime when Niko is by himself (i.e. no nearby pedestrians). It's a low growl that persists for a good amount of time, and may scare players if caught off guard. It is not known what causes these noises but it could be a glitch.
- video Can be heard around 1:23.
Deep echoed growls are known to occur in Alderney Casino and the Sprunk Factory, It is unknown what they are caused by but they might just exist for atmospheric effect.
Other growling can be explained by nearby Flying Rats or thunder.
The Blue Hell
Also while not exactly a myth and more of a glitch there is a secret room in the enterable hospitals. When you walk in, make a right, and then another right. There's a hospital bed right in front of a window. If you throw a grenade under it, it will be launched away and you can run jump through the window. You can then walk around through the walls. If you walk all the way back you walk into empty blue hell, you will then be transported back to the Hospital.
The prostitute seen on the concept art is often believed to be actually found in the game. See article: Lola.

INSURANCE losses are expected to rise into the hundreds of millions of dollars in coming weeks as floods start to peak across Queensland and New South Wales.
But insurance companies insist the latest losses are unlikely to trigger a fresh round of premium increases.
One of Australia's biggest insurers, Suncorp, said it was preparing to release updated claims figures on Tuesday after receiving higher than average claim volumes over the weekend.
Thousands of Queensland properties have been inundated by heavy rain from ex-tropical cyclone Oswald, and thousands more are at risk of rising waters as heavy rain pushes south into NSW.
On Monday evening, more than 500 households in the northern NSW town of Lismore were preparing to evacuate as heavy rain threatened to bring severe flooding to the region.
But Suncorp said it was not expecting insurance premiums to increase as a result of the severe weather at this stage.
''Obviously there have been premium increases in the last couple of years but those premiums are now reflecting the actual risk [from severe weather events], which has increased,'' Suncorp spokeswoman Michelle Barry said.
''But the first half of this financial year was relatively benign and we have allowance in place to cover events exactly as we're seeing right now.''
Commonwealth Bank insurance analyst Ross Cameron said he also did not expect insurance premiums to rise as a result of the floods.
''Insurance companies have capacity to absorb some losses going into this year because the six months to December was a benign period for losses,'' he said.
''It's an ongoing-loss issue and it will play through, but at the moment it's not.''
The Insurance Council of Australia on Sunday declared a catastrophe for large parts of Queensland affected by storms and inundation caused by ex-tropical cyclone Oswald.
On Monday it said claims from the wild weather had already topped $43 million, and total claimed losses were expected to hit $50 million by mid-week.
Insurance companies say they have received more claims than expected. However, they also say the cost of insurance would unlikely surpass the cost of the devastating 2011 floods.
''We're not expecting these events to be anything like the magnitude and scale of the events that we've seen in the past couple of years,'' Ms Barry said.
Since early 2010, the ICA has declared six catastrophes in Queensland for flooding and cyclone damage, with losses of almost $4 billion.
The Bureau of Meteorology has posted a severe weather warning for destructive winds, heavy rain and abnormally high tides over a wide area stretching from Wollongong and the Illawarra region, south of Sydney, to the state's north.

Best Hair and Makeup Trends for Fall 2010
Ugly Betty gave caterpillar eyebrows a bad rap, but in the 1980s they were actually super cool—and the trend is coming back (see the fall and spring catwalks for evidence). While some opted for full au naturel arches like Brooke Shields' others went the way of Paula Abdul, sporting filled-in brows shades darker than their highlighted manes.
The bigger, the better! In the 1980s, hairspray was a necessity—especially when crafting high, scrunchi-secured ponytails like the one Madonna wore to the American Music Awards in 1985. A perm and tress-teasing were also must-dos, as Whitney Houston's 1986 va-va-voom style demonstrates.

A Wharfedale brewery is celebrating winning a long-term deal to brew beer made from hops harvested in the grounds of Harewood House.
WharfeBank Brewery, based at Pool-in-Wharfedale Business Park, says the stately home's ales – which it will also bottle, sell and distribute – will complement its core product range well.
The award-winning brewery, which stands on the banks of the River Wharfe only a few miles from Harewood, will create three different beers under the contract – Harewood Gold, Harewood Red Kite, and Harewood Dark, a stout.
As well as producing bottled versions WharfeBank has agreed to make the ales available in both cask and keg, so pubs can sell a "Harewood pint".
The brewery's partner and managing director, Martin Kellaway, said: "We are delighted to have secured the Harewood contract. We have been involved with the team at Harewood for two years, brewing for the shop and providing our ales at events.
"This partnership will allow us to negotiate listings and distribution across Yorkshire, as well as national and international accounts, enabling beer lovers everywhere to enjoy a taste of Harewood. The hops from Harewood are excellent bittering varieties, a testament to head gardener Trevor Nicholson and his team.
"Brewing with these, and other quality ingredients that are produced locally, makes for a great product and we hope to introduce additional brews in time."
Chief executive officer of Harewood House, Mike Schafer, CEO of Harewood House, said: "As one of the finest houses in England there is a genuine interest in all things Harewood.
"This unique venture allows us to take our heritage varieties of Harewood hops grown in our working kitchen garden, and create a traditional product while reaching a new and diverse audience.
"We are excited to work with WharfeBank Brewery.
"They have produced a fitting range of beers capturing the spirit of Harewood."
WharfeBank, which is currently expanding its operation into multiple retailers, bottling and export markets, also runs three pubs – Pool's Half Moon Inn, the Fleece, in Otley, and The Rook and Gaskill Inn in York, under a deal with Castle Rock Brewery.

When looking at the now almost complete 2015 state legislative sessions, not only were fewer pieces of anti-voter legislation successful, more pro-voter reforms were introduced and passed!
Over 26 states have, or will soon have, online voter registration. The proposed online voter registration bills in Florida and Texas would provide thousands of citizens the ability to easily register to take part in our democracy.
In November, Florida's Amendment 1 passed with over 4.2 million votes, a commanding 75 percent of the votes cast. It will keep Florida's waterways clean and to protect the surrounding lands without any tax increases.
Two months into the 2015 State Legislative sessions and we have seen a groundswell of assaults on voters in many states. League of Women Voters activists have been working around the clock to fight back against these threats as well as to advance opportunities for voters.
The League's advocacy work in the courts, just like our lobbying in Congress and with the Executive, builds our influence in the political process.
The League of Women Voters is observing the 5th anniversary of Citizens United with a renewed resolve to limit the influence of money in politics.
I worked with the Election Protection Hotline to help many voters rectify the issues they were facing when attempting to exercise their right to vote. But it also illuminated how far we have to go to have fair, free and accessible elections for all eligible citizens.
Now is the time to start thinking about how and when you'll vote. In addition to getting ready to vote as you have in years past, voters in many states may also need to show voter identification in order to cast a ballot.
Yesterday, on National Voter Registration Day, in New York City and at hundreds of events around the country, League members reminded Americans that every election is important and that voter registration deadlines are rapidly approaching.
"The League focused my life and at the same time magnified it; it took my small talents and increased their impact."
The League of Women Voters of Jacksonville First Coast, ERA NOW, and Zonta Club of Jacksonville all partnered for a full day of speakers and lunch.

BEALLSVILLE, Md. – The University of Pennsylvania women's golf team kept up its solid play in its first spring event of the 2013-14 season, sweeping the individual and team titles at the 2014 Hoya Invitational Tuesday afternoon. The 36-hole tournament was held on the par-72 The Members Club at Four Streams.
As a team, Penn followed up Monday's 309 with a solid 298 on Tuesday. That two-round total of 607 was enough to keep the Quakers ahead of second-place Michigan, which also shot 298 on Tuesday and finished the event at 611. Penn and Michigan were the only teams to break 300 on Tuesday, as Yale's 306 kept the Bulldogs in third place (620).
"I was very impressed with how well the entire team played," said head coach Mark Anderson. "It was a true team effort. I was particularly happy that we won the tournament with four freshmen who had never played the course before the first round. It was a great way to start the spring, and we will look to take this momentum into our next three events."
Individually, junior Amanda Chin shot 1-under-par 71 on Tuesday, totaling 145 for the tournament which earned her medalist honors in the 86-player field. Chin's second round -- which was the low for the entire tournament -- placed her five shots ahead of Michigan's Lauren Grogan (75-75--150) and Yale's See Hee Moon (78-72--150).
"Amanda played great, and I was happy to see her win her first full-field tournament," said Anderson. "She was so close last year, shooting 69 in the final round and missing out by one shot."
Marissa Kay shot a 76 on Tuesday, while Sophia Chen carded a 79. As a result, they tied for eighth place with each other, both totaling 154 for the tournament. Erin Lo shaved seven strokes off her score from Monday to Tuesday, carding a second-round 75 to finish tied for 18th at 157, while Isabella Rahm improved her score by eight strokes from the first round to the second, shooting 76 on Tuesday to tie for 24th at 160.
"Our 4 and 5 players really came through today in the final round," said Anderson. "Isabella and Erin improved a great deal from the first round,and that was a huge boost for the team. Sophia played great in Round 1, and Marissa was solid today with a birdie on the last hole."
Penn returns to action this Saturday and Sunday, competing in Seton Hall's Pirate Invitational in Bedminster, N.J.

Man robs bank in Lake Butler
Published: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 6:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 6:05 p.m.
Lake Butler bank Friday afternoon, sheriff's Lt. Lyn Williams said.
The robbery occurred about 4:15 p.m. at the Community State Bank at 255 SE 6th St. The man passed a note to the teller demanding money, Williams said. The teller gave him a small amount of cash and he fled, possibly in a car, Williams added.
Witnesses describe the man as white, about 50 years old, 6 feet tall with a slim build. He has a beard and was wearing a light-colored, buttoned shirt and a baseball cap.
Williams said the man did not show a weapon during the robbery.

I've been doing P90X for 3 years. I'm a physical education teacher and have grown up playing sports and surfing. I used to go to gyms and workout with weights since I was in high school... never again. I'm 41 and I'm in the best shape of my life by far. P90X will whip your ass into shape in no time...it uses alot of pullups and push ups. You need a pull up bar that you can get for $20 from any store and a few dumbells. P90 X covers it all, building strength, stretching, yoga, cardio. All it takes is about an hour a day...the yoga is about 1 1/2 hours but you don't have to do the full routine. Don't spend $200 or $300 on it either...find a friend who has it and copy it. Of course there is nothing like just good old fashion paddling and swimming when its flat.

I originally posted this about a year ago, and the problem still persists in Mail on OS X. So if you have problems sending mail that's been filtered into folders, this explains why; you'll need to check each message before sending to make sure it's using the correct outgoing email address.
I'm on a few email mailing lists, and I've noticed that Mail, in OS X 10.8, has been doing something odd. Generally, if you have multiple e-mail accounts, when you reply to a message, your reply uses the same account the message was sent to. But I've been finding that Mail does not correctly choose the account if messages are filtered into folders; messages bounce because the selected account is not a member of the mailing lists.
There is a setting in Mail's Composing preferences where you choose which account to use for new messages, but this shouldn't affect replies.
The problem only occurs when mail is filtered into folders, which I do for mailing lists. If messages are in one of my inboxes, replies use the correct email address, the one that the message was sent to. But if not, they use the default address which is set in the Composing preferences, as shown above.
So, if you filter emails into folders, and have multiple accounts, you need to check every single e-mail you send as a reply from any of those messages. You can do this by looking at the From popup menu when you're sending or replying to an e-mail. But this is a very serious annoyance, and I hope this gets fixed.

Krysto - Tuesday, October 02, 2012 - linkHTC is dropping the ball lately. Tegra 3? Not even Tegra 3+? And S4 Plus when it should be S4 Pro? Reply
kyuu - Tuesday, October 02, 2012 - linkPretty sure the One VX is meant to be an intermediate level phone, not top-of-the-line. That would explain their use of the S4 Plus, along with the mere 8GB of NAND, poorer cameras, smaller and lower resolution screen, and smaller battery.
Also, as far as I know, there aren't any phones that use the S4 Pro, presumably because it's not ready? Reply
ViRGE - Tuesday, October 02, 2012 - linkAgreed. Why would anyone possibly want a Tegra over a Krait right now? That seems like a pretty significant regression. Reply
rqle - Tuesday, October 02, 2012 - linkneed memory slot or i'm not even interested in those model Reply
jordanclock - Tuesday, October 02, 2012 - linkThis seems like an incremental upgrade over the HTC Vivid.
I understand that this is a midrange targetted phone, but HTC really needs to find a more compelling reason to go with this over a Vivid except Sense 4. The upgrade to JB will be nice, but I fail to see how most consumers will prefer a more expensive phone with no outward improvements over a free (On AT&T at least) phone with all the same check boxes filled out on the spec sheet. Reply
bigboxes - Tuesday, October 02, 2012 - linkThe One X+ is an incremental upgrade for the One X, not the Vivid. It's not a mid-range phone. It's a flagship phone. Larger screen, faster processor and all the features available today. Now, the One VX would be similar to the Vivid, just a year older and slightly better specs and updated. Reply
jordanclock - Saturday, October 06, 2012 - linkI was talking about the VX. Why would you think I was referring to the One X? Reply
Becherovka05 - Tuesday, October 02, 2012 - linkI am so glade they have finally listened to people requesting a larger battery. We don't want the a super slim phone if we have to find a way to charge it before the day is over. +1 for HTC in my respectometer. However the new Motorola / Google phones (Razr HD and M) look very nice they are the phones I am considering. Reply

In many campaign settings, Nomog-Geaya is the hobgoblin deity of war and authority. He is the patron deity of hobgoblins, but hobgoblins are also known to worship Maglubiyet.
Nomog-Geaya appears as a huge, powerful goblin with rough, ash-gray skin, cold orange eyes, and teeth like a shark's. He almost always has his broadsword in one hand, and his hand axe in the other. He is said to have no expressions other than a grim, tight-lipped look of domineering authority. He is quiet and only speaks when he must.
Maglubiyet allows Khurgorbaeyag and Nomog-Geaya to live in his realm of Clangor on the plane of Acheron, to better keep an eye on them.

The Philippines is no stranger to natural disasters. But in just a few days, it has been transformed from emerging market star – its economy grew at annual rate of 7.6 per cent in the first half of 2013, faster than China – to a "state of national calamity".
Typhoon Haiyan will cause inevitable damage to the country's economy, but loss of output will be dwarfed by the devastating loss of life.
The Asian Development Bank estimates that losses from typhoons and earthquakes cost the Philippines around $1.6bn each year. The World Bank estimates the annual typhoon season typically shaves 0.8 percentage points off annual GDP growth. Read more

School officials in California are fighting a lawsuit brought by a conservative organisation on behalf of a group of Christian parents to prevent the district from teaching primary school children yoga, which they claim is a form of indoctrination.
It is a case that brings together some of the most combustible ingredients in American public life - schools, religion and the First Amendment, which enshrines freedom of religion and separates church and state - and is being closely watched by public institutions throughout the country that have begun to teach or allow the practice of Ashtanga yoga.
The dispute began late last year, when the Encinitas public school district in San Diego introduced yoga as part of its mandated physical education curriculum.
Though many schools in the US have taught yoga, it is thought this is the first district to formalise it across the board. Apparently aware of the potential for controversy, the district stripped from the course the traditional chants and Sanskrit words associated with the practice, and provided alternatives to children whose parents chose to opt out.
''This is 21st-century PE. It's physical. It's strength-building. It increases flexibility but it also deals with stress reduction and focusing, which kickball doesn't do,'' the Encinitas superintendent, Timothy Baird, told the Associated Press.
Though most parents support the program, which was fully implemented last month, the district's precautions were not enough for some. Complainants point out the program is funded by a $US533,000 ($A522,000) grant from the Jois Foundation, a non-profit group whose board of directors includes the son of the late Indian instructor Krishna Pattabhi Jois, whose teachings popularised Ashtanga yoga in the West.
And they take no comfort from the knowledge that the program is being used in a study by Virginia and San Diego universities, which will analyse data on the children's resting heart rates.
One of the parents opposed is Mary Eady, who pulled her first-grade son out of the classes, saying an opening sequence she witnessed in a class had the connotations of sun worship and opposed her Christian belief that only God should be worshipped. ''What they are teaching is inherently spiritual, it's just inappropriate therefore in our public schools,'' she told AP.
The non-profit National Centre for Law & Policy launched the lawsuit last week on behalf of Stephen and Jennifer Sedlock and their children, students in the Encinitas Union School District.
The dispute also reveals much about the blurry front lines in America's ongoing culture wars.
Many liberal progressives live in the school district, while Ms Eady, a devout Christian, works for TruthXchange, a self-described ''think tank'' concerned about the threat of ''neo-paganism''.
Jennifer Sedlock is a Christian motivational speaker whose website offers her services in speaking on topics including ''Celebrating Christ-Centred Holidays'' and ''Moving Forward in Faith''.
And the National Centre for Law & Policy - an organisation whose slogan ''Faith, Family, Freedom'' appears beneath an American eagle icon atop its website - describes its aim as ''the protection and promotion of religious freedom, the sanctity of life, traditional marriage, parental rights and other civil liberties''.
Lawyer and founder of the centre Dean Broyles believes this is what the yoga courses represent: ''EUSD's Ashtanga yoga program represents a serious breach of the public trust. This is, frankly, the clearest case of the state trampling on the religious-freedom rights of citizens that I have personally witnessed in my 18 years of practice as a constitutional attorney.''
His lawsuit notes that Indiana University religious studies professor Candy Gunther Brown has found the program is pervasively religious, having its roots in Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist and metaphysical beliefs and practices.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The operator of a former southern Ohio pill mill faces more than 17 years in prison when she goes before a federal judge Tuesday for sentencing.
Prosecutors pushing for a long sentence argue that Nancy Sadler had so little regard for the law that she boosted painkiller sales when she needed a new car, gambled away clinic profits at casinos and burned clinic records when a search warrant was imminent.
Sadler's attorney says she deserves a lower sentence because other people, like the clinic's former doctor, bear more responsibility.
Judge Sandra Beckwith was scheduled to sentence Sadler in federal court in Cincinnati.
Beckwith sentenced Sadler's husband, Lester, to 12 years Monday for his role as co-owner of Ohio Medical and Pain Management in Waverly.

Only 12 states in the nation rank above New Mexico for open access to abortion; the state is surrounded by more restrictive ones—including Texas, considered the most restrictive in the country—according to a 2011 analysis by anti-abortion advocacy group Americans United for Life.
Yet fewer counties in New Mexico have abortion providers than in the average US state, and as of Dec. 17, that number is shrinking further, from 9 percent to 6 percent. The only abortion provider in Santa Fe is retiring after 35 years, leaving only two counties statewide where the service is available. That doctor, Lucia Cies, is quietly ending her practice; she declined to speak to SFR for this story and is "not interested" in being written about, her office staff says.
Joan Lamunyon Sanford, executive director of New Mexico Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, calls Cies a "very private person," but Dr. Curtis Boyd of Albuquerque, one of two remaining abortion providers in the state, didn't return calls for comment either.
One of the most important services that the Santa Fe chapter of the National Organization for Women provides to northern New Mexicans is support—not least of all, emotional support—for women who get abortions, Santa Fe NOW President Dana Middleton says. That's because so many of them keep their decision secret from family and friends. Thirty-eight years after the Roe v Wade US Supreme Court case that guarantees a certain level of legal abortion access, in one of the country's most progressive states for reproductive rights, abortion is nevertheless shrouded in secrecy and shame and, partly as a result, is still relatively inaccessible.
"We're not quite sure why it's come to this," Middleton says. "We know that providers all over the country have diminished, and I think frankly it's from the threats from the extreme right that infringe on women's rights."
Perhaps the most prominent recent example of that backlash nationwide was the 2009 murder of Kansas abortion provider George Tiller. But closer to home, Boyd's clinic was firebombed in 2007. Lamunyon Sanford and Middleton say they're not aware of any violent incidents at Cies' clinic. But in a more subtle form of pushback, so-called "crisis pregnancy centers" are proliferating in Santa Fe at the same time as its last abortion provider is disappearing. Santa Fe has at least three of the centers, which advertise free pregnancy tests and family-planning counseling to women, but are not medical clinics and serve primarily to convince women to carry their pregnancies to term.
"If she really has no plans for an abortion, then that's great, and she'll get help and they'll give her baby clothes, or whatever they do, and that's fine," Middleton says. "But if somebody wants to have more choices, these places are not the place to go."
Thirty-eight years after the Roe v Wade US Supreme Court case that guarantees a certain level of legal abortion access, in one of the country's most progressive states for reproductive rights, abortion is nevertheless shrouded in secrecy and shame and, partly as a result, is still relatively inaccessible.
Two Santa Fe crisis pregnancy centers didn't return calls for comment.
In keeping with the ultraconservative standpoint they represent, crisis pregnancy centers also don't provide any information about or referrals for birth control of any kind. Santa Fe novelist and activist Kate Buckley, who counsels Santa Fe high schoolers and has worked with Santa Fe middle schoolers, says she was astonished at the level of ignorance among 13- and 14-year-olds about reproductive biology, even in a state where over half of all pregnancies are unintended. Buckley says kids parroted conservative talking points like "life begins at the moment of conception," but didn't know what "conception" meant.
And while Santa Fe NOW acknowledges the need for New Mexicans on both sides of the debate to find common ground in promotion of comprehensive sex education and use of birth control, at least one of the clinics NOW supports has policies that would alienate the most open-minded anti-abortionist. New Mexico is one of several states where the federal Partial Birth Abortion Act goes into effect only after the fetus achieves viability, or the ability to survive outside the womb without life support. Though Cies performs abortions only up until the 18th week of pregnancy, Boyd's clinic, according to its website, does the procedure into the third trimester of pregnancy: up to and past 28 weeks. In third-trimester and late second-trimester abortions, the woman's cervix must be artificiality dilated over a period of days to accommodate the large fetus; the fetal heartbeat is terminated at the beginning of the procedure, and the woman gives birth to a stillborn.
This polarized climate cultivates the silence and secrecy that causes women to be ignorant of their options and afraid to reach out. Buckley says her pro-abortion novel Choices attempts to parse through the complexities at the heart of the issue. It tells the story of a Denver teenager growing up in a Catholic, anti-abortion family who gets an abortion after being raped. Buckley got the idea when she read about an abortion provider who recognized the mother of one of his patients from a protest picket line that formed outside his clinic just a few weeks before. When the doctor asked the patient's mom to explain the contradiction, she said simply, "This is different; this is my daughter."

Thomson Majesty 'Good value cruises': Thomson Majesty Cruise Review by Wingram
Overall Member Rating
Thomson Majesty 'Good value cruises'
Destination: Canary Islands
Embarkation: Other
On arrival at the ship it appeared relatively well maintained with regards to its age, externally inevitable corrosion covered in white paint, internally showing signs of use, but was clean. Crew members were on hand to welcome you & show you to your cabin, which made you feel welcome. The emergency procedures & life jacket instruction was carried out prior to leaving port which is mandatory.
Our cabin was on deck 3 inside with twin beds, air conditioning and the shower room and would be lying if we said had plenty of space for two people. There is limited on wardrobe and storage space for a week let alone two. The toilet/shower was small and adequate, no dancing with the shower curtain was required. The cabins were cleaned twice a day plus bed turn down in the evening by two house keepers who do an excellent job keeping the cabin More clean & replacing used towels, it was also good to return to your cabin following a night out to find a towel sculpture on your bed and a sweet on your pillow.
The two main restaurants were the Seven Seas and the Four Seasons, both had buffet & waiter service at breakfast, lunch was waiter service in Seven Seas only, evening dinner was waiter service only in both restaurants, the same menu was served in both as they shared the same galley.
The standard of food was good, but was never exceptional, what you normally receive at 3 to 4 star hotel, but was served at a slightly lower temperature than we do here at home, but was never cold other than the ice cream, the menu appears to run in seven day cycles and we were told that the second week was the same as the first. We used the Seven Seas for evening dinner on most evenings, going early to miss the busy time from 7.30 on when guests often had to wait to get a table. The waiters made each meal a pleasure, and no request was two much bother to please you.
Other venues for food were the Cafe Royal Buffet which was open 24 hours and had various buffet menus daily which were dependant on what time of day.
The Piazza San Marco Pool Grill open from just before lunch to early evening serving burgers sausages and various other buffet foods.
There was also A Le Ca rte Dining Le Bistro on which we cannot comment as We never used it but there was an additional charge of about £19.00 each which we thought was a bit excessive as we cruised with PO last yeas and they only charged £15.00 to dine in Pierre White restaurant.
The main entertainment location was the Jubilee Lounge which is only suitable for cabaret acts and small group entertainments, any one looking for west end type entertainment would be sadly disappointed, there is also a lot of support columns in the lounge to restrict a good view of the stage. The Royal Fireworks Lounge had small stage for small band or singers and a small dance floor, this lounge was also used for bingo and other types of entertainment.
The Rendezvous entertainment was pianist who played three spots each evening and the Royal Observatory entertainment was classical violin & piano music three spot each evening.
The alcohol selection was good and prices were reasonable (£3.50 for a can of boddingtons and wine at £3.90 a glass) we got AI for £69.00 which was well worth it.
Over all we felt Thomsons are offering a very good value for money cruise in a not to glitzy setting, with reasonable food and entertainment backed up by excellent crew members who are pleasant, approachable always has a smile, and go out of of their way to make your cruise a memorable happy one.
Our only concern was noise at night. As this is an older ship we did here creaking and clinks, bangs an other ship related noises which is not good if your a light sleeper so be aware. Less

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Dozens of people celebrated Labor Day at an International Longshoremen's Association picnic at Metropolitan Park on Monday, but they also talked about jobs in Jacksonville.
Resident Bruce Jackson said he thinks the state of labor in the River City isn't good as it stands. It appears he's right. Jacksonville is experiencing some of its highest unemployment with a rate of more than 11 percent.
The longshoremen, who load and unload ships at the port, have a very strong union in Jacksonville, and they addressed the city's jobs situation.
"We were the last one to feel the effect and the first ones to go back to work," said Romia Johnson, of the ILA. "We sympathize with the public. We are doing anything we can to enhance the community as far as jobs are concerned."
In fact, the proceeds from the picnic go to the union's scholarship fund.
Those on hand said they understand what others are going through.
"Keep your heads up. It's going to get better," worker Jann Clark said. "Jobs are going to come in. It's going to get better."
One person who really believes that is Mayor Alvin Brown, who was also at the picnic.
"One thing we are going to let them know is we are going to work hard to put Jacksonville back to work," Brown said. "We know that working families and people are struggling out there. We know they have lost their homes and cars, and as mayor I am going to do everything I can to put Jacksonville back to work."
One big contributor to the recent rise in unemployment is government, with city workers being laid off all across the country. The same thing is happening in Jacksonville.
"The good news is they are very skilled individuals and they can go out and get a job in the private sector," Brown said. "A lot of them have good experience, and it should not be a challenge for them."
Even though the mayor says there will be layoffs at City Hall, he believes Jacksonville will come out ahead in the end.

This time, you overdid it.
You were feeling fine – feeling great, in fact – so you pushed yourself to just past your limit. Now you're paying for it. Your head hurts, your shoulders scream, your knees feel like they're broken, and your feet are killing you.
What you wouldn't give to lie down for a week or so. But, as you'll see in the new book "Limping Through Life" by Jerry Apps, there are some things that you just have to work past.
Twelve-year-old Jerry Apps figured that he was just plain tired.
And no wonder: he'd spent that January day sledding with his friends, followed by a hearty supper, barn chores and helping his father shovel a path through the snow from house to barnyard. It was well past 8 o'clock when Apps tried to do homework, but he could barely stay awake.
The next morning, he felt worse: he had a sore throat and his leg hurt "like the dickens." Like most farm kids in the 1940s, he was used to cuts, scrapes, and minor pain – but this was bad. His mother kept him home from school.
It would be weeks before Apps would return to his one-room schoolhouse.
For nearly a decade, post-World War II, Americans lived in fear of an epidemic that "dashed hopes ... generated near terror" and caused "panic in some communities." In Wisconsin alone, some 60,000 cases were reported in 1952. A vaccine for the disease wouldn't be available until 1955 — but until that time, polio "dramatically changed" young lives.
One of them was Jerry Apps'.
His parents were told that Apps wouldn't walk again, but doctors never said he couldn't drive a tractor – so later that spring, Apps' father put his son out to field. Doctors also never said Apps couldn't play baseball, so teachers encouraged him to hit the diamond. They never said he wouldn't ride a bike, and that's how Apps later got to high school, almost five miles from his parents' farm. And they never said he wouldn't serve in the armed forces, so Apps was a proud ROTC member who almost went to Korea.
Let me say this, straight up: you'll never whine about being sick again, once you've read "Limping Through Life."
At the outset, author Jerry Apps' story is one that "old-timers" can appreciate, especially if they farmed back before electricity and TV came to rural America. They'll appreciate a trip down Memory Lane to times past – but for Boomer readers, that lack of amenities isn't the jaw-dropper here.
What's astounding is that Apps' parents and other elders instinctively seemed to know how to help him regain his mobility, despite a grim prognosis. Apps seems nonplussed about that incredible resourcefulness, as if it was just another thing on the farm – a practical attitude that, mixed with humility, is a sure winner.
I dare say that this isn't a book for younger readers, but Boomers, polio survivors and longtime farmers will truly enjoy it. If that's you, then read "Limping Through Life." You'll be glad you did it.

FORMER Scots Guard Jim Archer is well on his way to completing a 4,000-mile trip commemorating the centenary of the First World War and raising money for charity Veterans in Action.
Jim, 63, who lives in Highworth, is part of a team of 10 supporting the organisation that helps servicemen after they leave the forces.
They started their charity challenge at the Menin Gate, Ypres, in Belgium, on April 28, and will have travelled a route around Britain's coastline by the time they finish at Westminster Abbey on August 3.
This will be just in time for the war commemorations taking place there on August 4, which will be 100 years to the day, that war started.
The group is now back in England and along their route they paid poignant visits to Polygon Wood Cemetery and the Tyne Cot Cemetery in Belgium, to pay their respects to servicemen killed in battle.
Jim, a former Wiltshire Police officer who also served with the RAF, said: "I found the sight of so many thousands of grave stones to be very emotional. "It is one thing to hear of the numbers killed. But to see the results of man's inhuman acts really brings it home. I found it very sad despite being trained as a soldier."
Since returning, the team, who are walking on rotation, have travelled across the Kent coast to London before heading north.
"I began the first leg of the relay walk from Dover to London and it all went well," Jim said.
"On May 5, as a team, we walked through the centre of London, past Buckingham Palace, just as the changing of the guard was taking place. This brought back my memories of being a Scots Guard."
Veterans in Action supports servicemen with post-traumatic stress disorder or physical injury after finishing their time with the forces.
Jim, who left the army in 1977, was diagnosed with PTSD 12 years later. His life was spiralling into alcoholism and he was contemplating suicide.
After turning his life around, Jim now works as a volunteer helping soldiers who have returned from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Jim's team hope to raise thousands of pounds for Veterans in Action which aims to collect £3m. This figure represents the number of British and Commonwealth servicemen who have been killed or wounded in action.
On Saturday, the fundraising team arrived in Edinburgh, for their latest leg of the journey.

LONGWOOD, Fla. - On most mornings, some might say Interstate 4 is more of a parking lot than an interstate.
Over several days in January, Sky 6 and Local 6 cameras caught drivers on westbound I-4 cutting through the Longwood rest area. In some cases, six cars at a time followed each other through the car and truck lanes.
Local 6 brought the potentially dangerous actions to the attention of the Florida Highway Patrol.
During one morning, as Local 6 cameras rolled, troopers stopped drivers who illegally cut through the rest area and sped. Troopers say several drivers were going 15 to 20 miles per hour over the 15 mph speed limit.
Andrew Ingram, a janitor at the Longwood rest stop, said he sees it every day.
"I seen 'em. I seen a guy shoot past me," said Ingram. "You know, like cars pass you, spin around."
"I hate to even imagine," said one woman. "What if you pull up and have three or four kids trying to corral and get to the rest room, and one of them runs out in a traffic area," said one woman at rest area.
Drivers confronted by Local 6 said they did not know it was illegal to cut through a rest area. Many also said they thought it would cut their commuting time significantly.
"I was thinking about 15 to 20 minutes at least," said one driver.
A ticket for going 20 miles over the limit will garner a ticket close to $300.

Braves erupt to sweep twin bill in frigid Colorado
Uptons belt back-to-back jacks as Teheran cools off Rockies
DENVER -- The Braves continued their 20-year legacy of domination over the Rockies on Tuesday, exploding in the nightcap of a doubleheader and rewriting the history books while blasting three homers in two innings to top the Rockies, 10-2, and complete a clean and cold sweep of the twin bill.
On a day that started with 23-degree temperatures at first pitch of the first game and peaked at 30 degrees in late afternoon, the Braves resumed their homer-happy ways to the tune of six roundtrippers on the day for a best-in-baseball 35 homers.
Juan Francisco, B.J. Upton and Justin Upton all homered off Rockies starter John Garland in the span of two innings, giving the Braves five runs in the fourth and fifth innings after Colorado took a 1-0 lead in the third. It was Justin's Major League-leading 11th homer, following hard on the heels of B.J.'s third and marking the first time big league brothers had gone back to back in 75 years. The only other players to do it were Hall of Famers Lloyd and Paul Waner for the 1938 Pirates.
"They make your lineup a lot better," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "For me, Justin is your No. 3 hitter. It doesn't matter who's on the mound that night, he's No. 3 and he fills that void. Boy, has he had a great April so far."
Justin's 11 homers in April set a Braves record -- with a week to go in the month -- and he's homered in every game B.J. has homered in.
"I'm a mean little brother," Justin joked. "It's always cool when you can see him have success before you and then you go and do the same thing. It was definitely cool, and for us to tack on those runs we needed, it was nice."
Gonzalez had considered resting one of them for a game of the doubleheader, but Justin keeps heating up at .307 (23-for-75) with a team-high 16 RBIs, and though B.J. has had a slow start to the season, Gonzalez saw his swing coming around and decided to keep him in the lineup.
"That's why they give me the big bucks, to pay attention to those things," Gonzalez joked of the decision to roll with B.J. "With him and Danny [Uggla] and [Andrelton] Simmons, you stay in their corner, because you see the work that they do. As long as their confidence level's there and they keep working and fighting, then you got to stay in their corner and keep putting them in there."
Julio Teheran helped make it a lopsided night, in keeping with the Braves' 106-60 record over the Rockies since Colorado joined the league in 1993 and a 15-3 record since the start of 2011. Teheran held Colorado to one run on eight hits -- all singles -- walking none and striking out three over seven innings for his first win of the year and his first quality start in eight big league attempts.
"I never pitched in weather like this before," Teheran said. "It was really cold the whole game, but I was trying not to think about it. I was just trying to concentrate on my pitches and something I did in the start before, trying to get ahead in counts."
The only damage against him came in the third inning when Eric Young Jr. hit a one-out infield single to second. Dexter Fowler followed with a single to center and Michael Cuddyer plated Young with a two-out single to left.
"He did a nice job," Gonzalez said. "They got a run early off him, but then he settled down and gave us seven innings. We were able to add on some runs late in the game and help him out.
"I'll tell you one thing he did really, really well was every time we scored a run, he got a shutdown inning and got us back into the dugout so we could keep swinging the bats. That's nice to see."
Colorado had won eight of its past nine games entering the doubleheader, while Atlanta had lost four of five, but the tide turned as Teheran and the bullpen stifled the Majors' hottest hitting team entering the day and battered a pitching staff that had been surprisingly strong.
"This Atlanta club, you've got to keep them in the yard," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "We had a tough time doing that today. They ended up with six homers in the two games. That's what they do. It's a quick-strike team. They hit the long ball."
While all their runs in the first game came from homers, the Braves found other ways to add on in the nightcap. Gerard Laird and Jordan Schafer contributed a pair of hits to produce another run in the fourth, and Simmons sparked a sixth-inning rally with a leadoff bunt single to third. Two walks, a sacrifice and a sacrifice fly pushed across an insurance run, and a four-hit, four-run rally in the ninth gave Justin Upton, Francisco and Laird multihit games.
"Getting two games in after last night and early this morning with the snow -- we got the games in," Gonzalez said. "We swung the bats well. Our No. 8 hitters had six or seven hits and kept turning that lineup over."
The eight-hole hitters were Reed Johnson, who went 4-for-4 in Game 1, and Schafer, who was 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Game 2. Johnson and Schafer will be platooning in right field while Jason Heyward recovers from Monday's appendectomy, and they showed themselves extremely capable of filling the void.
The two victories over Colorado gave Atlanta sole possession of the best record in baseball at 15-5.
"Coming off of three losses in Pittsburgh, that definitely wasn't fun," Justin Upton said. "To come out here and do what we did today with the conditions, and not give away at-bats, get good pitches to hit and put some hits together, that can boost us."
