Environment description:
In my company, we have our own application wchich we use to connect to database. All users use SQL Server Auth except me. I can log using Windows Auth from server and from my second computer.
Now everything works fine.
- My comp is in our domain 'OurDomian'.
- On server in AD is admin account 'SqlAdmin'.
- In MSSMS in Security->Logins there is account: OurDomian\SqlAdmin
- on my comp account OurDomian\SqlAdmin is added
I can log to sql server from my comp using 'Integrated Security' in application with no problem.
Problem description:
Problem starts when I change SqlAdmin password on server.
When I connect from my comp I get the above error. But when I connect from server there is no problem.
I searcher application code and I don't think that I have to change somthing in it. Probably I have to change something with account and permissions.

But when i am debugging it, the folder is being created in the sharepoint site.

String Windows Service Applications Tutorials You can easily create services by creating an application that is installed as a service. For example, suppose you want to monitor performance counter data and react to threshold values. You could write a Windows Service application that listens to the performance counter data, deploy the application, and begin collecting and analyzing data.
Due to the distributed nature of a business process it makes sense for a workflow to be deployed as a distributed application. See how Windows Workflow and Web Services hold the key.

Windows services are applications that run outside of any particular user context in Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP. The creation of services used to require expert coding skills and generally required C or C++. Visual Studio .NET now makes it easy for you to create a Windows service, whether you're writing code in C++, C#, or Visual Basic. You can also write a Windows service in any other language that targets the common language runtime. This article walks you through the creation of a useful Windows service, then demonstrates how to install, test, and debug the service.

Arrgghh, I am so tired of dealing with stuff like this
I've got a project, when I put up on another server I point two sites in IIS6 to it
i have
http://www.main.com pointing to the folder the files are in
http://www.anotherofoursites.com/main pointing to that same folder in it's own "Virtual Application" or whatever IIS calls it when you put a folder into it's own
If I just "Build" and push all the files up.. both work without issue and as expected... but when I use "Publish" to precompile, the site works until I post, and then i get nailed with:
Hi guys,
I can't get my <ajax:asyncfileupload> working and I don't see why...
When outside any panel or table it is working well, but as soon as I put it in a <asp:panel> or table I get a strange error which seems to be on client-side but I don't understand what's happen here. Here is the code and code-behind and Javascript.
Here's the error:

i have some extra conditioning toner from when i bleached my hair and now i don't know if i should still use it.
The parts of my hair that I bleached I dyed purple.
So my questions are:
-if i use the toner now will it make the purple change color?
-if i use the toner on my unbleached hair will it make it darker or lighter?What do I do with my conditioning toner?
It depends on what color the toner is. If it is a violet color, it is used to remove yellowish tones from blond hair and won't effect dark hair at all. It might even enhance the purple in your hair. If it is a greenish color, it is used to remove orange-brass color and might turn your purple color muddy.What do I do with my conditioning toner?
it wont do anything
its just for keeping your hair extra healthy from the dye

En route to his big important meeting, Bobby is waylaid by a fluffy-haired old college pal who went–and probably still goes–by the charming nickname "Guzzler." Bobby cancels his big important meeting in favor of lunch with Guzzler, where they look at the football Bobby carried for 80 yards to win the sports match and Guzzler sexually harasses their waitress. In the midst of all their reminiscin', Bobby says "We had some good times." Then they exchange these tender looks. "Good times?" Tender looks? Obviously they were secret lovers in college.
Bobby insists that Guzzler stay at Southfork while he's in town on business despite the fact that it's a huge inconvenience for him. But the Ewings always get what they want, so that night at dinner Guzzler entertains everyone with his tales of womanizing and other things he's done whilst womanizing. Well, J.R. isn't entertained, he thinks Guzzler talks too much. And Pam isn't impressed by the bravado either, which can only mean one thing: PAM EYEROLL right at the table in the middle of a story because she rules so hard.
J.R. has had enough and splits before everyone retreats for post-dinner cocktails. Instead of going with her husband, Sue Ellen says bye because she finds Guzzler "fascinating." Now, I was about to lose my mind here because I thought Sue Ellen had better judgment than that (yes, even considering she married J.R.), but I should have known: it's a ruse! She finds a quiet corner and calls Cliff to arrange some A.S.A.P. Afternoon Delight.
Everyone* chimes in to let Guzzler know he's so great and he simply must stay at Southfork for as long as he wants and they're all so excited–especially Lucy, who practically melts into a pile of googly eyes and hair at the prospect of 24 hour access to Unkie Guzz.
*EVERYONE EXCEPT PAM, who gives the whole idea some side eyes so sharp they will cut a bitch. It added 30 years to my life and then took away 50. Yes, I'm dead right now and it was totally worth it.
The next day, Bobby takes Guzzler to one of his new construction sites to show off and get some advice since Guzzler is a big businessman building big high-rises in big Venezuela. Guzzler sort of kind of manipulates Bobby into straight-up asking for help and proposing a partnership, and gosh I sure hope that the title of this episode isn't some kind of spoiler about how it will all work out! For now, everything is super just like old times, and so Bobby and the Guzz (I suddenly wish that was a spin-off show) head out to celebrate.
They stay out until the wee hours and return to Southfork completely plastered. After Bobby passes out, Guzzler attempts to put the moves on Pam. Can you believe the nerve? He is not worthy of receiving her withering glares, never mind any sexnanigan-related kindnesses! After a wee bit o' struggle, Pam's NO MEANS FUCKING NO finally gets through Guzzler's fluffy head. Or does it? The next morning, he's back to teasing and flirting and it's just gross. Of course, no one mentions the crap he tried to pull the night before.
Oh, and speaking of sexnanigan-related kindnesses, Sue Ellen's Day of the Nookie is here and so she blasts off in her Battle Wagon to go get some. There is just not enough Sue Ellen in this episode, I'll tell you right now.
Meanwhile, J.R. has brought some oil dudes out to Southfork to reassure his cronies that there is, in fact, a shit ton of oil lurking under the ground, just a-waitin' to be drilled into. You see, J.R. has told these guys that Jock amended his will to allow drilling on Southfork land after he's dead, but Miss Ellie doesn't know anything about it, so all this talkin' and prospectin' must be kept secret. The real secret, as you may imagine, is that it's a fake will. That J.R., such a schemer! This seems like too much, even for him. He can't possibly pull this one off, can he?
Bobby tells Pam about his new partnership with Guzzler and Pam is not having it. Didn't Bobby want to go into business for himself? Isn't that why he fought with his family? Why is Guzzler playing such a big role all of a sudden? Bobby pulls out the "UR just jealous" argument, suggesting that Pam doesn't want to share Bobby's attentions. Pam is really not having this shit. Unfortunately for Bobby (but fortunately for us) she's got her collar popped and she's wearing her take-no-nonsense vest. She busts out a "Don't flatter yourself!" and I swear, I felt the Earth tilt on its axis.
Dallas sure does love to play with our emotions, though. One moment we experience the dizzying high of popped-collar Pam going off, and the next we experience the puke-inducing low of Guzzler hitting on Lucy by the pool. "Women are like snowflakes," he tells her. "Every one is different, and every one is beautiful. Also they have a lot of corners. Sometimes they melt, and sometimes they pile up–they pile up really high, Lucy. Really high."
Okay maybe I made up some of his awful snowflake speech, but that's only to distract myself from the fact that it's all caused Lucy's tiny sex goblin powers to activate and she suggests that she and Guzzler go somewhere and, you know, do it. Hold on, I have to shudder and dry-heave for a few minutes.
Unfortunately for them (but fortunately for us), Pam enters the scene and she's still got on her vest. TGIPam! She shuts this shit down right quick with some cocked brows and sarcastic comments.
Lucy slithers away to take a cold shower while Guzzler and Pam have it out. He gives her a sad tale about how hard he had it growing up and how he only has good intentions when it comes to Bobby: "I love Bobby...if a man can use that word about another man nowadays without it sounding dirty." Yes, Guzzler has thrown down a late-70s NO HOMO. Fortunately for him (and unfortunately for us), Pam buys it! She suddenly sees Guzzler in a new, more sympathetic light, which means that J.R. is our last anti-Guzz hope. I believe in the power of his eyebrows.
I also believe in the power of his eclectic desk art collection, because I can't get enough of it. I imagine him spotting that snail at Pier 1 Imports or in the homegoods aisle of TJ Maxx and he's like yes. Yes, I love this snail, I must have it and I will put it right on my desk so I can see it all the time. I'll put it next to my choo-choo.
Guzzler's big idea is to put a shopping center on a remote strip of Southfork land and as you might guess, Miss Ellie takes some convincing. Oh the purity and beauty of Southfork and her daddy loved the land and blah blah blah. Once Jock reminds her that it'll make Bobby super happy, though, she's in. The only thing she loves more than the land is her sons. YEAH WE KNOW, MISS ELLIE, SOUTHFORK AND YOUR SONS ARE ALL YOU TALK ABOUT.
Things begin to spiral out of control as Guzzler's vision of the shopping center grows. It began as a market and maybe a dry cleaner, but now Guzzler has three major "first-class" department stores on board, an underground parking facility planned...it's gonna be "the biggest thing to happen since the invention of the hot dog!" So, you know, obviously very, very big. LIKE HOT DOG HUGE YOU GUYS.
The hot dog huge problem with Guzzler's plan, however, is that the site of the future Shopping Mall of America is where J.R. intends to drill after Jock dies. Of course, this is a secret plan, so he must rectify the situation in the best way he knows how: nefariously. He hires a private investigator to look into Guzzler's background, and while that dirt is dug he placates the grumblings of Jeb and the Holograms with a resounding SLAP. Literally! Jeb makes vague threats against Bobby should he not back down from his development deal, and J.R. counters with a backhand. Nobody threatens a Ewing!
The private investigation results are in: Guzzler is a scammer, a broke crook! He sets up these development deals everywhere and then splits town, leaving investors in the lurch. Apparently authorities in Montana want to question him. Overall it seems that Bobby is just another mark. J.R. shares this info with Pam, of all people, because he thinks she's the one who might be able to talk some sense into Bobby. She decides to talk to Guzzler first, though, and here's where I feel the first stirrings of pity for the man: look at this tropical monstrosity of a bedroom they've forced him to stay in!
Pam really lays into him and gives him what for, and Guzzler busts out another sad tale, this one about how he peaked in college, burned out young, and his life has been a big mess ever since. Once again Pam's big heart gets the better of her and ultimately she's unsure how to proceed. But her worries are short-lived: Bobby has been awake this whole time and more to the point, he's known about Guzzler's troubles the whole time. This partnership was meant to be a "way back" for Bobby's college hero, for him to get his life on track and be something more like the man he was. But the Southfork development is too much, and Bobby has decided to find another project for them to work on.
But it's too late! Guzzler has called a cab and is ready to depart for Venezuela–or wherever he's really going–and Bobby will have to make do without him. He's just too important and too needed elsewhere! Bobby leaves the partnership offer on the table and the men hug each other for their lives but don't worry, it's still NO HOMO. Their undying love for each other must remain unspoken for another day.
Aside from Lucy's googly eyes, this episode is simply not salacious enough for me. Sue Ellen appears for maybe a minute, and while J.R. does get in a good smack to Jeb's smug face, he's fairly subdued overall. If it weren't for Pam's ire gettin' all up, it would be rather dreadful. Still, there are lessons to be learned. The characters all learned that saving face is the most important thing of all, while we learned that Bobby-centric episodes are a fucking drag. Wait, I bet we already knew that, didn't we?

As cyber attack threat grows, Jordan remains vulnerable
"Cyberthreat Forecast for 2012" predicted that attackers will have to change their methods in response to growing competition among IT security companies

With a growing cyber menace expected to target governments and corporations in 2012, local experts said public and private sector establishments in Jordan should adopt high-tech solutions to be ready to face such threats. The experts said local companies and organisations are not placing a sufficiently heavy emphasis on being resilient to cyber attacks, which makes them vulnerable.
Commenting on a forecast by the Russian computer security company Kaspersky Lab, which indicated that cyber attacks in 2012 are expected to reach more of the world than ever before, spreading beyond Western Europe and the US and affecting the Middle East, Eastern Europe and South-east Asia, the experts called for more awareness on cyber threats in the Kingdom. "In Jordan and the rest of the Arab world, there are no standards for cyber security... This represents a real problem that makes entities in our part of the world susceptible to such attacks," Mahmoud Kurdi, a cyber security expert, told The Jordan Times over the phone on Saturday. "The problem in Jordan is that neither establishments nor individuals are truly aware of the risks of cyber threats, which need to be taken more seriously.
There is a need for more awareness and increased readiness," he said. Cyber crimes that might affect Jordan include identity theft, phishing, e-fraud, and infecting devices with malware to steal data, according to the IT experts. Abed Shamlawi, CEO of the ICT Association of Jordan (int@j), called on the government to take the initiative in promoting cyber security. "The government should lead efforts to raise awareness on cyber threats, which can harm the national economy," he said. The modest volume of e-transactions in Jordan compared to the rest of the countries in the region makes the Kingdom less attractive to cyber criminals, but that does not mean the country can afford to neglect the risks, he added. "Cyber criminals are constantly changing their attack methods and are targeting more and more entities.
We in Jordan should increase our preparedness to deal with such attacks," Shamlawi said. Whereas the majority of cyber attacks have until now affected companies and state organisations involved in arms manufacturing, financial operations, or hi-tech and scientific research activities, in 2012, companies in the natural resource extraction, energy, transport, food and pharmaceutical industries will be affected, as well as Internet service and information security firms, Kaspersky Lab indicated in an e-mail to The Jordan Times. The "Cyberthreat Forecast for 2012" predicted that attackers will have to change their methods in response to growing competition among IT security companies that investigate and protect against targeted attacks. Increased public attention to security lapses will also force the attackers to search for new weapons, it added.
The conventional method of attack, using e-mail attachments, will gradually become less effective, while browser attacks will gain in popularity, the report said.

New drama re-envisions expressionist texts to explores man's role as creator and destroyer.
September 15 - Oct 2 at 4th Street Theatre
"A memorable if disconcerting theatrical event. A single 90-minute production that is likely to leave your head spinning and your anxieties about the state of humankind confirmed." -- Talkin' Broadway
Horizon Theatre Rep will present an encore of their critically acclaimed production of GEIST! based on plays by August Stramm, Franz Kafka, Ernst Toller, Gottfried Benn, and Lothar Schreyer. Conceived and directed by Rafael De Mussa, previews begin September 15 at 4th Street Theater with opening night slated for September 18.
In the waning days of World War I, a platoon of soldiers vanished without a trace. But tapes of short plays they enacted to pass away the time have recently been discovered. GEIST! documents these short plays, read and performed at a bombed out Church by soldiers waiting for their next orders.
The production includes "Sancta Susanna" (1911) by August Stramm, translated by Henry Marx; "The Guardian of the Tomb" (1916) by Franz Kafka (Kafka's only play), translated by J. M. Ritchie; "The Transfiguration. 3rd station" (1919) by Ernst Toller, translated by Edward Crankshaw; "Ithaka" (1914) by Gottfried Benn, translated by J.M. Ritchie and "Crucifixion" (1920) by Lothar Schreyer, translated by Mel Gordon.
GEIST! stars Cory Asinofsky, Angela Dahl, Sean M. Bell, and Adam A. Keller with lighting by Yuriy Nayer and sound/Qlab programming by Aristides Li.
Rafael De Mussa, Artistic Director of Horizon Theatre Rep, has been managing and directing for HTR for over fifteen seasons. Under his leadership HTR has produced 15 main stage productions by some of the world's greatest writers, garnering critical acclaim and consistently employing an eclectic family of artists to reflect New York City. Directing projects for Horizon Theatre Rep: In The Solitude Of Cotton Fields (Grand Central Terminal), 3XPirandello (FringeNYC), Nights of Wrath (Greenwich St. Theatre), Caligula (Kirk Theatre), The Balcony (Access Theatre), Araberlin (4th Street Theatre) and Culture Shock (Access Theatre).
Horizon Theatre Rep is dedicated to staging seldom-produced masterpieces of world theatre. Since 2001, it has produced 15 mainstage productions including Benito Cereno by Robert Lowell, The Misunderstanding by Camus, Vassa Zheleznova by Gorky, Nights Of Wrath by Armand Salacrou, Powder Keg by Dejan Dukovski, Man Without Shadows by Sartre, In The Solitude Of Cotton Fields by Bernard-Marie Koltès, and The Balcony by Genet, among others. The company endeavors to find a contemporary vocabulary to tell stories on stage and to bridge the generation gap. Their goal is to get audiences to see these classic plays with new eyes and understand them in new contexts.
GEIST! runs September 15 - October 2, Wednesday-Saturday at 8:30PM and Sunday at 3:30PM. The 4th Street Theater is located at 83 East 4th Street between Bowery & 2nd Ave. Tickets are $18, available at 212-868-4444 or www.SmartTix.com.

She Married a Christian Psychopath She Met Via a Dating Site
There are times I am reading articles, not intending to make any blog posts here, but there's something in the article that fits with this blog.
In this article, for example, which discusses how experts can spot psychopathy in children as young as age 3, there is a story about a psychopath named Carl.
(The link to the article that mentions the psychopath named Carl is much farther down the page. I wanted to talk about it first before linking to the page.)
The article says that as Carl gets older – around his 20s, I think – he becomes a Christian, meets a woman on a dating site, marries her, has a son with her, and has a few affairs on her, and later gets arrested.
I don't think the wife in the story realized that the guy she was marrying was a psychopath, not at first.
Using dating sites can be scary – I've featured several articles on my blog of women who met men on dating sites who later raped, robbed, or murdered those women. (Sometimes, though not as often, some women use dating sites to rob or kill men.)
Next up, I don't see the point in Christians promoting the "Equally Yoked" teaching any longer.
I know I have no desire to marry a guy who has been diagnosed to be a psychopath, and who will have affair after affair on me.
A guy who says he's a Christian or who goes to church regularly is not any better than a guy who is not a Christian or who doesn't go to church.
In my younger slightly more naive days, I know I likely would've given a man such as Carl more benefit of the doubt, had I seen him on a dating site and he proclaimed himself to be a Christian.
I now realize a man saying he's a Christian doesn't indicate much of anything. A man who says he's a Christian can be a rapist, serial killer, or serial adulterer.

An aggressive century by Abhishek Nayar and a vital cameo by veteran Ajit Agarkar helped hosts Mumbai edge out visitors Assam in an exciting battle for the first innings lead on the fourth and final day of the Ranji Trophy Super League Group A match in Mumbai.
Replying to Assam's 298, Mumbai made 318 in their first innings, thanks to Nayar's quick fire 122 and a useful 29 by Agarkar, who added 27 runs for the 10th wicket with last man Dhawal Kulkarni (11 not out) to help the hosts cross the visitor's total.
Assam reached 53 for three in 21 overs in their second innings before both the teams agreed for a draw.
Earlier, resuming at an overnight score of 91 for the loss of three wickets, Mumbai began well with the overnight pair of Sahil Kukreja and Nayar adding further 127 runs in about 24 overs to the tally before being separated.
The duo, who had come together when Mumbai were reeling at 47-3, added 171 runs for the fourth wicket before pacer Dhiraj Goswami disturbed Kukreja's timber. Kukreja made a crucial 76 off 161 balls with the help of 10 fours.
From here, off-spinner Arlen Konwar took over and scalped five wickets as Mumbai, who were 218-3 at one stage, slumped to 291-9 before Agarkar ensured them the three points.
Nayar was the sixth man out with the score at 265. His 122 came off 143 balls, a strike rate of over 85, with the help of 12 fours and two sixes.
For Assam, Konwar ended with figures of 5-101, while Goswami took three wickets while conceding 77 runs.
Brief scores:
Assam First Innings: 298
Assam Second innings: 53-3 (D Jadhav 21 not out; I Abdulla 3-22)
Mumbai first innings: 318 (Abhishek Nayar 122, S Kukreja 76; A Konwar 5-101, D Goswami 3-77).
Karnataka register innings and 33-run win over Orissa
Bangalore: Karnataka managed to gain a bonus point after thrashing Orissa by an innings and 33 runs on the fourth and the final day of their Ranji Trophy Super League Group B match.
Twin centuries from Manish Pandey and CM Gautam and some fine bowling by Sunil Joshi and Abhimanyu Mithun helped Karnataka register this comprehensive victory.
After bundling out Orissa for a mere 191 in their first innings, Karnataka scored 503 in their first essay.
Orissa started on 92 for one in their second essay, still trailing the hosts by 220 runs on the final day, with plans of playing out a draw here at the M Chinnaswamy stadium.
But the visitors lost Natraj Behera (60) early on the day four morning with an addition of only 22 runs to the total.
And although Niranjan Behera (94) along with Govind Podder (13) tried to rebuild but the latter got run out to a direct hit from Sagar, after putting on a 40 plus partnership.
However, Niranjan continued to hold on to his wicket and shared another 40 plus stand with Biplab Samantray (34) before getting bowled out.
Thereafter, no other batsmen, apart from Alok Sahoo (34), could counter Karnataka bowlers, eventually getting all out for 279 to hand over the hosts an easy win and a bonus point.
Abhimanyu Mithun finished the day on four for 70, while Sreenath Aravind and Adithya Sagar chipped in with two wickets each.
Brief scores:
Orissa first innings: 191
Orissa Second Innings: 279 (Niranjan Behera 94, Natraj Behera 60; Abhimanyu Mithun 4/70).
Karnataka 1st innings: 503 (Manish Pandey 171, CM Gautam 158; Alok Sahoo 4/110, Basanth Mohanty 3/84).
Delhi, Saurashtra match drawn
Rajkot: With first two days washed out following unseasonal rains, the Ranji tie between Delhi and Saurashtra ended in a tame draw here at SCA stadium and both the teams were given a point each as first inning remained unfinished.
Saurashtra resuming at their 231 for 6 declared their inning at 354 for 9. Jaydev Shah who was batting on 43 overnight made 57 while Kamlesh Makwana contributed 52 runs.
For Delhi, Vikash Sharama was the most successful bowler taking five wickets giving away 75 runs while Pawan Suyal and Manoj Chauhan took two wickets each.
Delhi in reply made 194 for the loss of two wickets off 57 overs.
Shikhar Dhawan and Unmukt Chan made 51 and 58 runs respectively while Aditya Jain (43) and Mithun Manhas (41) remained unbeaten at the end of the day.
Brief score:
Saurashtra 1st Innings: 354 for 9 decl
Delhi 1st Innings: 191 for 2 (Shikhar Dhawan 51, Unmukt Chand 58).
Tiwary leads charge as Bengal get three points vs Gujarat
Ahmedabad: Bengal captain Manoj Tiwary led from the front with a brilliant 92 as the visitors ensured three points against Gujarat to get their floundering Ranji Trophy campaign back on track.
Bengal now have eight points from four outings as they take on the formidable Tamil Nadu in their next outing in Chennai.
Needing 274 to get three points after rain played spoilsport for the first one and half days, Tiwary (92) and last-minute inclusion Anushtup Majumdar (74) added 112 runs for the fourth wicket as Bengal scored 340 for seven when play was stopped.
Debutant Arnab Nandi also showed lot of composure as he remained unbeaten on 51.
Starting on their overnight score of 99 for two, Bengal lost Dibyendu Chakraborty (23, 120 balls, 3x4) who was bowled by Priyank Panchal having played a very slow innings.
Tiwary and Majumdar then combined well as they went to tea with a score being 211 for three.
The Bengal captain who is recovering from a bout of viral fever played a chanceless knock during his four hour stay at the wicket. With the outfields being heavy he could only hit six boundaries. He also hit a couple of sixes.
Just when he was looking good for a century, he was bowled by medium pacer Ishwar Choudhary. After Tiwary's dismissal, Sayan Sekhar Mondal (0) and former captain Laxmi Ratan Shukla (13) left in quick succession as Bengal slumped to 258 for six.
But Majumdar who hit 10 boundaries along with Nandi ensured that bengal safely reached the magic figure of 274.
Brief Scores:
Gujarat 1st innings: 273
Bengal 1st innings: 340/7 (M Tiwary 92, A Majumdar 74, A Nandy not out 51)
Baroda humiliate Punjab by an innings and 55 runs
Vadodara: Baroda kept alive its hope of progressing to the knock-out stage of Ranji Trophy after notching up an innings and 55 runs victory over Punjab in a Super League Group B match.
Resuming their second innings at the overnight score of 79 for four after being forced to follow on, Punjab were all dismissed for 118 runs, thereby handing Baroda the comfortable win.
Punjab cut a sorry figure in their second innings too as apart from first innings centurion Sarul Kanwar (45), Vishwas Bhalla (20) and Jaskaran Singh (25), no other batsmen could reach the doubles figures.
Such was Punjab's struggle at the crease that they lost their remaining six wickets for mere 39 runs.
By virtue of this win, Baroda secured six points, including bonus points, while Punjab will return empty handed.
For Baroda, Mutuja Vahora scalped four wickets for 5 runs while Sankalp Vohra and Bhargav Bhatt picked up three and two wickers respectively.
Earlier, resuming their second essay trailing by 94 runs, Punjab lost four wickets -- Vishwas Bhalla, Karan Goel , Manpreet Gony and Kanwar -- within six runs to sum up their outing.
Kanwar was the lone Punjab to put up some resistance before the Baroda bowlers. After scoring 130 in the first innings, he stood amid ruins in the second essay too with a 63-ball 45 during which he hit eight fours but it was not enough to save the day for his side.
Punjab captain Pankaj Dhamani blamed his side's poor fielding for the team's embarrassing defeat as the visitors missed as many as six catches, which allowed Baroda to pile up a mammoth 416 runs in their first innings.
Brief Scores:
Baroda 1st Innings: 416
Punjab 1st Innings: 243
Baroda 2nd Innings: 118 all out in 43.2 overs (Sarul Kanwar 45, Jaskaran Singh 25, Vishwas Bhalla 20; Murtuja Vahora 4/35 runs, Sankalp Vohra 3/40, Bhatt 2/24).
Tamil Nadu, Railways share points
Chennai: Tamil Nadu and Railways shared a point each as the rain-marred Ranji Trophy Super League match between the two former champions ended in a tame draw.
After Tamil Nadu declared their first innings on 334 for four, Railways were comfortably placed at 143 for the loss of Faiz Fazal's wicket when stumps were drawn for the final time in the match on the fourth day.
V Cheluveraj and Sanjay Bangar were the two unbeaten batsmen at crease after Aushik Srinivas had Fazal caught by Subramanium Badrinath for a neat 71. But before that, Fazal and Cheluveraj had put on a solid 131-run partnership for the opening wicket at the Chemplast Ground.
Fazal's innings was laced with six boundaries and two sixes while Cheluveraj cleared the fence six times during his stay at the wicket.
The highlights of match, interrupted sporadically by rain, however, were Badrinath's knock of 149 Abhinav Mukund's 131. Both hit sixteen boundaries during their stay at the crease, and their approach made wicket taking a difficult task for Railways bowlers.
Brief score:
Tamil Nadu 1st innings: 335 for four decl (Badrinath 149, Mukund 131)
Railways 1st innings: 143 for one (Fazal 71, Cheluveraj 54 not out).
UP get 3 points from drawn match against HP
Kanpur: Paceman Sudeep Tyagi claimed five wickets as Uttar Pradesh bundled out Himachal Pradesh for just 84 to pocket three points by virtue of first innings lead on the final day as the rain-hit Ranji Trophy Super League match between the two sides ended in a draw.
Tyagi (5/27) wrecked havoc on the Himachal middle and lower order batsmen as the visitors, who resumed the day at 23 for two in their first innings, were all out in 38.4 overs in the morning session in reply to Uttar Pradesh's first innings score of 197 all out.
Opener Sangram Singh (28) and VA Indulkar (17), both not out overnight, were the only batsmen who could score in double digits at the Green Park Stadium.
India discard RP Singh and his pace colleague Bhuvneshwar Kumar gave able support to Tyagi with efforts of 3/38 and 2/14 respectively as Uttar Pradesh took a 113-run first innings lead.
Uttar Pradesh, who got three points from the match, declared their second innings at 138 for eight with Eklavya Dwivedi scoring a 59 (93 balls; 7x4) and the match ended in a draw.
For Himachal Pradesh, who got one point, Gurvinder Singh took 4/22 while Rishi Dhawan claimed 2/43.
Brief Scores:
Uttar Pradesh 1st Innings: 197 all out and 138/8 decl (Eklavya Dwivedi 59; Gurvinder 4/22)
Himachal Pradesh 1st Innings: 84 all out in 38.4 overs.

(this intro is from the liner-notes to my CD Columbia: We Dare to Dream)
I didn't know them. I didn't know their names, or that they had been in space for sixteen days, or that they were called the "STS-107" crew, or even what "STS" meant. But I was sitting next to my piano on the morning of February 1st, 2003 when I heard the news… the awful news that the space shuttle Columbia had just broken apart upon reentry, 200,000 feet high in the skies over Texas, and that the entire crew had undoubtedly perished.

DescriptionCleaning the bathroom is not fun, so a scientist decided to create the ultimate bathroom cleaner - a microscopic gray goo that will eat the dirt. It works very well, but it doesn't just eat dirt and the more it eats, the larger it gets.
You control this gray goo and take it from microscopic size to cosmic size. You'll start out eating small and large pieces of dirt like you're supposed to. But you keep growing and work your way up the food chain. Dirt isn't filling anymore, so you start eating small toys and mice, then cats and dogs. Eventually, you start eating people, cars, and houses. But you keep growing. Nothing can stop you... not even the cosmos!
Control is done completely with the mouse. Depending on the level, you may need to be careful what you try to eat. You can only eat things smaller than you, and some things that are larger will either hurt you or kill you if you touch them. Some will even shoot at you, such as police officers and tanks. The goal in most levels is to eat enough to grow to the next size. There are also a few levels that are "bonus" levels, such as trying to get 4 puzzle pieces by moving through a small maze.
There are 3 modes to play the game in: Normal, Casual (easier and no time limit), and Endurance (more time needed per level and more difficult).

Three people were injured, including one critically, in two separate stabbings in San Francisco on Wednesday morning, according to police.
A man suffered life-threatening injuries after he was stabbed repeatedly in a brawl at Ellis and Leavenworth streets about 2 a.m., Sgt. Danielle Newman said.
He was one of three people who said they were walking to a market when two men approached. An argument ensued and the trio was attacked, Newman said. The victim who reportedly tried to run away was stabbed repeatedly. Another victim also suffered less serious stab wounds.
No arrests have been reported. Police were still trying to determine a motive Wednesday.
However, an arrest was made in connection with an unrelated stabbing that occurred 45 minutes later in the Mission district.
Vanessa Lynn Torres, 45, of San Francisco was booked on aggravated assault charges for allegedly stabbing a man at Mission and 16th streets after a dispute over booze.
The 37-year-old victim was reportedly sharing his "drink" with two other men, but wanted the beverage returned, Newman said. Torres allegedly stabbed him in the back after unsuccessfully requesting that he leave.

Donegal man at centre of Historical Abuse Inquiry
A former child migrant from Donegal to Australia has told a public inquiry he was transferred with no idea where he was going and faced more sexual abuse after arriving in a Catholic home there.
Seventy year old Des McDaid originally from Donegal, was housed at Termonbacca in Derry before being transported to Australia.
He told the inquiry he was targeted by older boys, a lay teacher and members of the Christian Brothers religious order which ran the Clontarf institution near Perth in Western Australia.
Aged eight, he was not told where he was going when he was transferred on board the ship the New Australian.
Mr. McDaid has campaigned for many years on this issue and has waived his right to anonymity.
He added, "The big thing I want you to remember is the helplessness."

I was interested in reading Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes because it is set during and after World War II and earlier this year when our class did a project on American presidents, I was Harry S. Truman and he was President of the United States during the war. He actually was responsible for making the decision to drop the atomic bomb that ended the war. I also liked the idea of reading this book because Sadako is 11 years old and I'm 11 too. And it is about origami and I love origami and know how to fold a perfect paper crane. But once I started reading the book and read about how sick Sadako was and that she died, it made me sad. The summary is below.
Book Title: Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes
Author: Eleanor Coerr
Illustrator: Ronald Himler
Sadako was just a toddler when President Harry S. Truman made the United States Air Force drop an atomic bomb over her city Hiroshima, Japan as an attempt to end World War II. Every year on August 6th there was a carnival for Peace Day that Sadako was always excited to go to. Her parents and her siblings Eiji, Masahiro, and Mitsue went to remember Oba Chan who died on the day of the bomb. Buddhist priests spoke and Sadako's family launched lanterns on the Ohta River for each family member that died in the atomic bomb. Sadako loved to run. She was chosen by her classmates to run in the race on Field Day. She won! Sadako really wanted to get on the racing team in junior high so she practiced every day. But she started feeling dizzy. Sadako didn't tell anyone, hoping the dizziness would go away. One day while Sadako was running in the school yard she fell to her knees and couldn't get up. She was then rushed to Red Cross Hospital. Dr. Numata and Nurse Yasunaga did x-rays and Sadako was diagnosed with leukemia (cancer of the blood).
The next day, her best friend Chizuko told her the story that if any sick person folds 1,000 paper cranes the gods would grant them a wish and make them well again. Sadako made a bird out of every piece of square paper she could find. Her brother hung every single one from the ceiling. The disease took all of Sadako's energy. She met a boy named Kenji that also had the bomb disease (as they called it). His mother had it when she gave birth to him, passing it down to him. He already knew about the thousand paper cranes story but he didn't think it would help him. Sadako folded him a crane for good luck but days later he had died. Sadako's classmates made her a Kokeshi doll to cheer her up but it was no use. She got to go home for a holiday but was too weak and tired to run and play. Her mother spent days sewing a kimono for Sadako, it succeeded in making her a little happy. Sadako managed to fold 644 cranes. She died October 25, 1955. Her classmates made 356 cranes so that 1,000 were buried with Sadako.

Mission Statement: Daily Life University is a community of dedicated life-long learners. Through studying Mentality, Gratitude, Health, Relationships, Finances, Choices, and Spirituality, D.L.U. aims to help others rise above mediocrity to live an Extraordinary Life!
Let me start by saying, I see value in college. Heck, I went to UW-Whitewater for 5 years. I received a Sports Management degree, made a lot of friends, and had a ton of fun.
A college education is very important for many fields. However, only half of college freshman end up finishing their degree. Also, according to research, about half of graduates don't get a job they went to school for. Finally, americans change careers more than 7 times through out their lifetime.
This is why who we become is MORE IMPORTANT than the classes we take. We need to learn "Life Skills" for life after college. We may not use or remember that class in the future but we will be with ourselves for the rest of our life.
Unfortunately, we don't become the best versions of ourselves during college. It's not necessarily the college system's fault, but the culture of college. I have seen many of my friends struggle to find jobs, still living the party life, and move back in with parents.
The YOUTH OF AMERICA NEED HELP!
College is important however here is what I found "MOST" students are experiencing:
- How to watch hours of re-runs and reality TV
- How to see the same ESPN episode 4 times in one day
- How to play hours of video games
- How to find everything out about a person on facebook instead of actually talking to them
- How to not respect or listen to superiors
- How to have multiple uncommitted relationships
- How to find the laziest way possible to get something done
- How to make excuses
- How to procrastinate
- How to develop poor sleeping habits
- How to binge drink
- How to be unhealthy
- How to experiment with drugs
- How to cram and not remember what you learn
- How to be lazy
- How to accumulate thousands of dollars in debt
- How to be negative
- How to follow the crowd
- How to develop poor money habits and start a credit card to win a t-shirt
- How to know more chants for theirs sports teams than dreams for their future
This is not the college's fault, but the culture students are surrounded with. College students are in desperate need of learning "Life Skills".
That is why I made this website. My passion is to teach young people how to improve as a person. If you want to learn more about a program that will help you "Take Life to a New Level", then dive into this website and learn about Daily Life University!
You may be able to relate to this funny clip if you're 5+ years out of college

It's important to not only have a focal point in a piece, but it's also important to consider how the viewer's eye is going to move through it. Where is the viewer's eye going to enter? What path will it follow? Will it be recycled and retained, or will it exit the piece at a certain point? I don't -always- thing these things through, but it certainly is a consideration in many of my designs. It's especially interesting when you're considering art in a style which is read from right to left, for example, or up to down and then across.
Anyway... I finished this piece the other day and when I was done, realized that there's actually quite a strong path, or even paths, through the piece. I didn't consciously do it this way--it was one of those "this feels right" and then I figured why afterwards.
(Fonts: Baby Boston & heathert. Frames by Katie Pertiet for the Designer Digitals Web Challenge this week. Everything else mine... =)
From a Western perspective, your eye is likely to enter a piece from the top left (because we're trained to read from left to right, top to bottom), or to be dragged into the piece by the focal point. In this particular piece it could happen either way: the top photo could lead downwards, or the eye could go directly to the big round red spot. However, the rose is pointed up, towards the photos, and so redirects the eye that way in case it got lost. What I found really interesting, however, was the positioning of the tiny little hearts I did. It's really hard to make things look random, and yet retain some control over them. In this case, the little hearts make a nicely subdued, colorful trail that leads you down the photos (with a stop at "Companion" for the pink heart linking the two of us... can you spell "sappy"?), back up to the rose, and right to the final message. Those little hearts are repeated in the background; the repeated elements tend to tie in all the parts of the layout. (Note: the little hearts were punched out of magazine paper, and then I scanned a whole bunch, and then I selected a few out.)
Just something to keep in mind next time you have a layout with a ton of elements...
And a small toot: I was chosen by Rhonna Farrer, of all people (cuz she's like my digiscrapping flourish hero and all *shuffleshuffle*), as the digital member inspiration of the month for how I used her kit in my "A Boy and His Lunkhead... Uh, Dog." layout! *happy dance*
Oh, and speaking of flourishes... I'm thinking of making a freebie alpha with my "Flourished" font, examples of which you can see here:

In recent weeks, there has been a noticeable increase in visa application processing delays due to Section 221(g), otherwise known as "Administrative Processing." Ramped up fraud prevention and related security procedures have triggered visa processing delays at various consular posts worldwide. As the global community confronts complex security challenges, we anticipate that this trend will continue. Proper planning in advance of international travel is critical due to the current political climate.
When applying for a visa stamp at a U.S. consular post abroad, an applicant may be subjected to additional security and background checks based on the following factors:
- Occupations in targeted fields (the Technology Alert List);
- Appearance (i.e., "hits") in national security and law enforcement databases, such as the Interagency Border Inspection System (IBIS); or,
- Information found on Form DS-160.
Visa processing delays can last from a couple of weeks to several months. In most of these situations, consular posts will retain the application and the applicant's passport until the matter is resolved (or until the application is withdrawn). The request for an additional, more comprehensive security clearance can create delays and the applicant may be "stranded" in that country without a passport or the ability to travel internationally. In all cases, the individual will be prohibited from re-entering the United States until the administrative processing has been completed. For additional information and practice tips, we recommend reviewing our comprehensive memorandum for foreign nationals traveling internationally found here.
In some cases, employees (in consultation with their managers and HR) will need to weigh the risks before deciding to travel internationally, and some employees may forego international travel rather than risk delays leading to interruption of employment or incurring costs associated with extended travel. Employees are strongly advised to consult with company representatives and direct managers to discuss the company policies regarding working remotely during an extended delay outside the U.S.

There really was a redemption story in Buffalo on Wednesday night.
Only it wasn't the Sabres redeeming themselves for the their lack of response to Milan Lucic's crushing hit on Buffalo goalie Ryan Miller earlier this month. Instead, the person who really atoned for his past misdeeds was Bruins forward Benoit Pouliot.
One game after being benched in the third period following a string of costly penalties in Montreal, Pouliot delivered the only goal in the shootout to lift Boston to a 4-3 victory in Buffalo, extending the Bruins' win streak to 10 games and putting them back atop the Northeast Division at 13-7-0.
"It feels great," Pouliot said. "It's tough when you get penalties. It's obviously something you don't want to do to the guys you play with. I had my chance again tonight to play, played a lot and the guys played great. … Timmy [Thomas] played awesome in the shootout and I got a chance to go and was hoping not to miss it and it went well."
Each of the first nine shooters in the shootout failed to convert, with Thomas stoning each of the Sabres' big guns with saves on Thomas Vanek, Nathan Gerbe, Jason Pominville, Derek Roy and Drew Stafford. But Jhonas Enroth was equally strong at the other end, denying Tyler Seguin, Rich Peverley, David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron before Pouliot had his chance to win it.
"I wasn't too sure what to do there," Pouliot said. "But I saw everyone was shooting and the goalie was going pretty low all the time. So I tried to go higher and it paid off."
Bruins coach Claude Julien's decision to stick with Pouliot paid off as well. After Pouliot's struggles in Montreal, many expected Julien to come back with Jordan Caron in that spot on the third line against Buffalo. But Julien felt that the third-period benching was punishment enough, and that Pouliot would rebound if given another chance.
"I think what people have got to realize is that in Montreal it really wasn't so much his play because he actually was playing well," Julien said. "It was more about controlling his emotions, and his emotions were getting the better of him the first time back in Montreal. He was a liability out there so I thought it was best for the team [to bench him] and he understood that. But he certainly wasn't disappointing in his play and tonight again he played well."
Pouliot, who took an undisciplined hooking penalty and a high-sticking double minor Monday in his return to Montreal against his former club, did take another early penalty Wednesday with an elbowing minor 2:31 into the first. That didn't put the Bruins shorthanded, but it did negate a possible power play as the Sabres were called for too many men at the same time.
He settled down after that, though, playing solid with three shots and three hits in 12:38. And as the shootout dragged into sudden death, Julien played a hunch and sent Pouliot out in the fifth round.
"He's shown in practice when we've do shootouts that he's got some skills," Julien said. "So it was time to use him. I'm glad to see he scored a big goal for us, because it's going to be huge for his confidence."

Many 2010-2011 school years have already began across the country, while many more will begin within the coming week…
Parents need to know that students attending public school are put in a system that is opposed to the Christian worldview. Now, that seems like a harsh statement, and the truth is that there are pockets of conservative public education across the country, but the facts remain the same: Our ultimate standard of Truth is found in God and His Word, Public Education "prohibits" Christ from being taught, … you draw the conclusion.
In other words, can we really separate Math, History, English, etc. from the Creator of these things?
In a recent blog post Albert Mohler writes "All teaching involves ideology and intellectual commitments. There is no position of authentic objectivity."
There are good Christian teachers out there – and yes some of their worldview will come over in their teaching. However, their hands are tied when it comes to presenting Truth in the classroom! And, furthermore, textbooks seem to be pushing more and more towards "State-ism" (the teaching that the government is our ultimate reality, see more on the definition HERE).
A solid Christian teacher in this situation is the best case scenario. Worse case? The non-Christian teacher that has ulterior motives in teaching and actually desires to lead students away from the Truth. Most teachers fall somewhere in between, but they will all bring something into their teaching. I mean, think about the statement that "teaching should be objective" or that "students should be presented all views and then allowed to make their own decision"… Those statements are subjective! Why would we as Christians want to present all views when we know that only One view is Truth? Why would we want kids making their own decisions when we know that folly is what is stored up in their hearts (Prov. 22:15)? The point is, that every person who teaches your child that does not hold to the same standard of Truth that you do, will have influence over your child (sometimes subtle, sometimes profound).
Mohler goes on to say in his blog "For Christian parents and students, this should be a matter of deep concern and active awareness. The secularization of most educational institutions is an accomplished fact." Mohler is speaking of Colleges and Universities, but the same can be said of Secondary Education. Why should you as a parent be concerned? Because every day of the 2010-2011 school year, your student will be spending about 7 hours under teaching that undermines the Truth of Scripture (besides blatant falsehoods like macro-evolution and misrepresentations of our Nation's founding, think about how school subtly teaches us to "think" apart from God.) That's 1260 hours a year (based on 180 school days a year). Over 13 years (K-12) that's 16,380 hours!
Again, I know this statement sounds harsh, but we have to understand that there is a battle being waged for our students' hearts, minds, and souls. This is a battle some teachers don't even realize that they are playing a part in! (See Eph. 6:12 )
So what do we do?
If you teach in the Public School system, then you realize that in many areas your hands are tied. You must seize every opportunity that you have (legally) to present Truth. Also, be sure and be intentional in seeking out quality text books. The most popular, and the most "teacher" friendly books, are not always the best teaching material. Finally, there is the option of teaching in a Christian Private School, not always a possibility but could be where God is calling you.
If you are a parent, then you have to know your options. Homeschooling is not something that everyone is able to do, but should be something that at least parents pray about while their students are young. Another viable option is Christian Private School…
I believe that both of these options should be prayed about and sought after if possible because we must understand that as parents we are responsible for what our students are learning. That being said, I know that the majority of parents out there are in a situation where homeschooling and private schools are not an option. Is all hope lost? No, but we must be intentional about discipling our kids! This means we discuss the things of God with them in all facets of their life, including school. As hard as public education may try, schools will never be able to remove God, because there is no area of our life that God is not God! How are the hours you spend discipling your kids compared with the amount of time they are being "discipled" at school?
I write this today to remind parents and teachers of what's at stake! I'm not trying to scare you out of Public Education (although, if God is leading you in that direction…) but I just want to remind you that Christ and the world are opposed… We should not marvel that the world would try to undermine the Truth. Keep your head up, be on guard, and run this race well! Children are a blessing and it is our privilege and responsibility to raise them well…

TUESDAY TIPS AND TIDBITS – Moving Beyond Stereotypes
5 comments:
- Natasha Larry said...
LOL! Oh, wow. When I got to the Jeff Dunham thing, I laughed out loud. ;) Otherwise, this is all really great advice. I haven't run into much fiction, other than, of course, where it was intentional for historical accuracy, that has used stereotypes.
This is one of those things I wouldn't have thought of when writing fiction. Thanks for sharing.
- April 3, 2012 at 3:22 PM
- Penumbra Publishing said...
Thanks, Natasha. I must confess that I am as guilty of laughing at sterotypical jokes as anyone else, but it deserves consideration, especially when writing humor.
- April 3, 2012 at 4:55 PM
- Walter Knight said...
An interesting writing technique is to not describe your characters' appearance or race, and let the readers use their own sterotypes and perceptions to fill in the gaps on who your characters are.
- April 4, 2012 at 7:59 AM
- Natasha Larry said...
That's a neat idea, Walter, and again, something I would have never even thought of. =) I find that a lot of my readers decide what race my characters are, no matter what I have to say about it, lol. A lot of people have told me that John Gramm is African American, which I find interesting =)

Hi Pat, Tasha and Walter (and whomever else is reading this :) Excellent post as always. I agree you have to be careful with stereotypes, as you say you could not only offend readers it is lazy writing. I tried to avoid them in my book. As you point out it can be tricky because I think sometimes people use them unitentionally because of the place/time/people they have grown up with but that's not excuse.
I also agree villians need to be fleshed out (unless they will die very quickly) otherwise they are hollow. (Pat gave me some great advice for certain vampire villians :) Thanks for the helpful advice.

Gold Line Track Laying Should be Complete Later this Month
The Foothill Gold Line from Pasadena to Azusa is on schedule to complete laying all 28 miles of light rail track needed for the 11.5-mile project. There will be a Track Completion Ceremony Oct. 18 to commemorate this achievement. Source: Gold Line Construction Authority press release
- Brad Haugaard
4 comments:
The construction company may be finished laying the tracks; however, the catenary (overhead wires) has yet to be completed. From what I've seen (and know about light rail), there's a whole lot left to do. In some areas, the catenary support poles haven't been installed, let alone wired.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 13, 2014 at 7:42 PM
I don't understand the math. Why are they laying 28 miles for an 11.5 mile project? What am I missing? Thanks.
Good question. The press release didn't say, but I thought about that when I posted it and my guess is that there is track going both directions, so that's 23 miles, then there is the maintenance yard with lots of track (next to Home Depot) and probably there is some siding track in spots as well. So that's my best guess.ReplyDelete
The dual "main line" would be 11.5 miles each (23 miles total) and an additional 5 miles for the maintenance facility. I doubt if there'll be any side tracks; but, there are crossovers. That's where an eastbound train can use the westbound tracks or vice versa. There is a train storage track at the Sierra Madre station; but, it's long enough to store two 3-car trains. (The Gold Line normally runs 2-car trains.)ReplyDelete

Spam notification: spam or ham?
Mostly it misses them, but maybe one in ten spams sent to dotcomments-support-owner come as an attachment on a message saying "Yahoo! Groups SpamGuard has detected that the attached message to the owner of the Yahoo! Group dotcomments-support is likely to be spam."
Now I have one of those sitting in my Gmail inbox, not flagged as spam. Report it? The message isn't spam, the attachment is. I've always trained my own Bayesian filters to treat them as spam, because that's where I want to deal with them, but does that mean I should cast my vote for Gmail (of the way too hidden spam) to trust Yahoo!'s filter?
I'm so sick of email.

Green Bay, WI- The Green Bay Blizzard have announced that they have signed form University of Army cornerback Josh Jenkins
In his last full season at Army, Jenkins (6'1,195) had 94 tackles, 6 interceptions, 14 pass break-ups and 2 blocked punts.
"This is a really good football player. He's got true and natural cover skills as a DB…he's long and rangy, he's a sure tackler and most importantly he can run. He was very productive at Army," stated Blizzard Head Coach Chris Williams.
"I'm excited to be part of a growing league in the IFL and an organization like the Green Bay Blizzard," said Jenkins. "There is no such thing as a moral victory in football and I plan on contributing to victories. I will bring a winner's mindset while also ushering in a winning culture to a budding franchise in Titletown. I have faced many hurdles along the way, but I continue to move forward. Hopefully with the opportunity granted to me by the Blizzard, I will be able to continue my career into the NFL. I can't wait to get to work and be a member of the Green Bay Blizzard."
Jenkins is a native of Concord, Ca and played his high school football at the famed De La Salle High School.

Did you know that vinegar is a great addition to your gardening tool box?
If you are trying to go "green" and reduce your "carbon footprint" then why not start replacing some of those chemical cleaners with more natural ones.
Before you think, "what could I use them for in the garden" here are a few ideas to get your started:
Mud Nests
As much as we all love birds, sometimes they will try and build nests in your roof, fascia or places that are not safe for you or them! Once the birds have finished for the season, especially the mud nests, then here is a great way to deter them from building there again. Use white vinegar full strength and drench the area with it..
Do NOT spray the birds, this is just to deter them from a particular area. You can put the vinegar in a spray bottle and spray the spot, and it will put them off and they will go looking elsewhere.
Garden Furniture
If you have wicker outside furniture, then you can use a sponge and a solution of one part white vinegar and one part very hot water. Put the chairs out in the hot sun to dry and this will clean and make them look better, and less dingy.
Flower Pots
You can remove stains from plastic and clay pots, by making a solution of one part white vinegar and two parts cold water, and soak the pots, they will soon look clean and new again. I find you need to do this for about an hour or so. Then make sure and wash with plain soap and water before you use them for your plants and flowers.
Concrete paths
You can remove stains from concrete by pouring full strength white vinegar over the area. Keep doing this until the stain fades.
Fresh Flowers
Keep cut flowers fresher longer, by adding two tablespoons of white vinegar and one tablespoon of white sugar to the vase of water. This even works for droopy flowers!
Greenhouse glass
Take three tablespoons of white vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon of liquid detergent and one pint of water and put into a spray bottle (you can get empty spray bottles at the dollar store), lightly spray and then wipe with a crumpled piece of newspaper. This makes them gleam!
There are so many uses for vinegar in the garden, and the house. My grandmother used to use natural cleaners all the time. She said back in "the day" you couldn't just run to the store and buy cleaners. But we have come full circle again, and as a favor to the environment, we are trying these natural cleaners again. Plus look at the money you will save!

Shortly after John Savage raised his first championship trophy as a head coach, he thanked some of the many people who helped him along the way:
I couldn't do it without my wife Lisa. She's a coach's wife. She grew up with Coach (Chris) Ault, who's a Hall of Fame coach at the University of Nevada. My four kids. I spend a lot of time away from them. They know I'm dedicated to my job. I love them so much. This is for my dad, who passed away in August 2010. He didn't see us win a national championship.
This is for Jack Gifford, who also passed away, who's a UCLA famous alumni. This is for my dad, this is for Jack, this is for my entire family. …
I would never be here without Coach (Mike) Gillespie and Coach (Gary) Powers, who I started with at Nevada. I owe everything to them.
For more on Savage's path to UCLA and an eventual national title, here's my feature from earlier this month.

SCF Celebrates 2012 Summer Bridge Program Success
(Bradenton, Fla., August 10, 2012) — State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota (SCF) recognized 24 students who completed the 2012 Summer Bridge Program at a special ceremony held at SCF Bradenton Thursday, Aug. 2.
The Summer Bridge Program, which assists recent high school graduates in getting a jump start on their college education, is led by SCF Program Director Kristen L. Anderson and Tomas Carillo, SCF multicultural specialist.
Students received a college scholarship covering tuition, books and school supplies and completed up to six college credits by taking courses including Student Life Skills, Psychology, American History and Reading.
"You came to us just out of high school, and over the summer, you transformed into college students," said Anderson. "We are proud of your accomplishments, and we look forward to your continued success in college and beyond."
Also recognized for their roles as instructors in making the Summer Bridge Program a success were Deborah Kimbler, Jaquelyn McNeil, Gladys Green, Karen Young, Judy Pfeifer and Kevin Kennedy.
SCF student Ricardo Centeno expressed his gratitude for the program, which has prepared him for the process of registering for classes and becoming familiar with college life. Using his experience at SCF, he also was able to help other students who are not enrolled in the program prepare for the Fall term.
"If it wasn't for this program I wouldn't be settled in here at SCF or be as confident in taking classes this fall," he said.
Twenty-one out of the 24 students who completed the program are planning to attend SCF this fall. Three students are planning to attend other Florida colleges and universities.
Tana Sandefur, a longtime supporter and SCF Foundation benefactor, also attended the ceremony. Sandefur, who has supported the SCF Summer Bridge Program for the past decade, made it possible for students to use iPads in the program this summer.
"In 10 years, we have educated many young people who may not have attended college if it weren't for the Summer Bridge Program at State College of Florida. Many students at the college graduate and stay in the area. It's really important to have a community with educated young people," she said.
Other special guests included Dr. Donald Bowman, vice president of educational and student services; Gary Russell, associate vice president of academic quality and success; Peg Lowery, executive director of The State College of Florida Foundation; and Gloria Tracy, SCF employment/equity manager.

Andrew Mellor is a landscape photographer from Blackpool, England. "I have a particular interest in the landscape and how we use it" Mellor says, "my photography explores natural and man-made environments, and the interaction between the two with concerns over how we use the landscape". He believes the human interactions within the landscape can influence the people and the surrounding community as these themes can have far reaching political, social and psychological effects.
