The Herald.
The Hed is in the highest respect a Fam
ly News a r, devoted to the material in
terests of e people of this County and the
State. It circulates extensively, and as an
Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad
vantages. For Terms, see frst page.
The News and Courier has pub.
lished a number of letters from
presidents of Southern cotton mills,
in reference to the comparative ad
vantages of Southern and Northern
mills, in the manufacture of cotton.
Taking the mean of the statements
received from different mills, it ap
pears that the Southern mill has an
advantage of about $4 a bale. Af
ter showing, on this basis, that such
a mill as the Eagle and Phcenix, of
Columbus, Ga., has an advantage
of at least $67,500 over a Northern
mill of similar capacity, the News
and Courier says: "Verily this
is advantage enough. Protection
The point which we make is this:
If the Southern mill has an advan
tage of as much as $4 a bale over
its Northern competitor-if it has
"advantage enough and protection
enough" in its natural advantages,
why shoukL it be protected by legis
lation ? Why should the capital
invested in cotton mills in this
State be exempt from taxation ?
Why is it, more than other private
investments, entitled to exemption ?
We hope that we shall never be
found among those who are in
clined to prevent, or even hinder,
industrial progress and material
development in the South. But we
frankly say that we cannot see the
justice of that law which exempts
from taxation capital invested in
any private enterprise. The men
who are able to invest capital in
cotton mills are the very persons
who are best able to pay taxes.
A, who puts $20,000 into a cotton
mill withdraws that amount from
the taxable property of the County;
while B, his unfortunate neighbor,
who owns nothing but a house and
lot valued at $3,000, is required to
pay taxes on his property to sup
port the government that protects
A in the enjoyment of his stocks.
Under the law exempting cotton
mills in this State from taxation
for the term of ten years, the State
and Counties have refunded to the
manufacturing companies the sum
of $21,204; this, too, in spite of the
fact, that they have "protection
enough" in their natural advan
The Northern mills have pro
tection in the shape of high tariff
duties; the mills of our State have
protection in exemption from taxa
tion. There is a difference in de
gree, but we can descry no differ
ence in rinciple.
The delegates to the County Con
vention, on the 14th of June,should
come prepared to say whether
there shall be two State Conven
tions, cr whether delegates to the
national convention shall be elect
ed, and the State ticket nominated,
at the samre convention.
While we think that County offi
cers should be nominated by con
vention, there is no likelihood that
a change will be made this year,
and it is hardly probable that a
change will be proposed in the
County Convention.
The delegates might also give
some attention to the question
whether the convention on the 14th
should elect delegates to both
State Conv-entions-taking it for
granted that there will be two
and to the Congressional nomi
nating convention. If there is to1
be a State Convention later than
June, to nominate a State ticket, it
seems proper that we should hold
a County Convention later than the
14th of June, to elect delegates.
The Abbeville Press and Banne,
having ascertained that a majority
of the negroes in the Penitentiary
have been to school, concludes that
education does not improve the ne
gro. By inquiring still farther-, our
contemporary would doubtless find
that the majority of the convicts of
this State have been to church, pos
sibly are members of the church;
would it therefore conclude that
Christianity does not ~improve the
negro ? It is just as fair to assume
that the negro who I-as been to
church is a Christian, as to assume
that the negro who has been to school -)

fore be repealed. While we see no
good reason for exempting some of
these classes, school trustees for in
stance, from jury service, we think
that we must look elsewhere for the
unsatisfactory results of trial by
jury. As a rule, we think the ver
dicts of our juries fairly represent
the moral sentiment of the coin
munity; and when that sentiment is
sound and healthy we may look for
satisfactory results from trial by
For the HERALD.
Messrs. Editors:
In your last week's issue I find the
following language:
To jefierson A. Sligh-A representa
tive man. The People's choice for
STATE SENATOR. Will you accept the
position if we elect you? Let us hear
from you. VOTERS.
N. B. Answer through all the pa
pers of this County.
Before complying with the request
contained in the above complimentary
language, I hope that I may be allowed
to say that I am totally ignorant of
this movement-of its origin, or of the
names of any of the persons connected
with it, as not the least intimation has
ever been given to me that such a meth
od would be employed to draw me out
on this subject. For this reason, I
highly appreciate the compliment as I
do all expressions of kindness coming
from my fellow citizens. The well
done, so heartily given to a faithful
public servant by those whom he rep
resents, is to be prized far above silTer
and gold. Numbers of my friends have
frequently urged me to be a candidate
for State Senator from this County, and
others have asked that I should also al
low my name announced in the papers.
For various reasons,if I kiow my own
heart, I did not desire any position
from the people at this time ; but while
this is true, for other reasons,there lay
back of all this a feeling that I might
be, and that perhaps I ought to be, a
candidate for the Senate. Therefore
when my friends appealed to my pa
triotism to lay aside any objections I
might have in the matter and repeated
ly urged me to become a candidate, I
frankly replied that I would, but we
need not be in a great hurry to have
the fact announced in the papers. But
it appears now that this matter should
be delayed no longer, as it seems that
some are in doubt as to what Ishall do.
Therefore I will say to the "Voters"
making this inquiry, and to all others
concerned, that if elected to the posi
tion indicated, that I will accept it,
and serve the people to the best of my
Having been a member of the Legis
lature for four years, I stand ready to
give an account to the "people" of my
stewardship as their servant ; and I ask
them as an act of kindness on their
part towards me, their servant, to sus
pernd judgment on any of my acts, or
on any reports that are now in circula
tion, or that may hereafter be put in
circulation calculated to injure me,
until I have had an opportunity to be
heard. The people should remember
these three things :
1st-That there are two sides to
every question, or report.
2nd-That there is such a thing as
telling the truth, without telling the
whole truth.
3rd-And that misrepresentations
are very common things in our day es
pecially in regard to candidates.
I am sensible of the fact that no man
wsho is thoroughly selfish,, who is not
able to lay aside his prejudices and
feeling of self interest. andl labor for
the public good, or who seeks or de
sires position, simply to make it the
stepping stone to something else, can
ever make a statesmsa in the true
sense of that word. The lawful in
terests of all. of Cuanty and State in
this instance, must be protected and
protected in such a way as to produce
as little clashing as possible. Justice
must be given to every citizen, so that
persons of every class, profession and
ncupation may be prosperous and con
tented, so far as good and wholesome
aws can make them so, that the rich
ad the poor together may work har
oniously ZIer the up-building of their
:ommon country. I am therefore fully
nware that the responsibility to be im
posed upon mec if elected State Sena
or is a heavy one, as ini that Body it
~requently occurs that laws both good
tud bad are made or unmade by a sin
gle vote (saying nothing of the influ
ance that one member may have over
>hers) and that these laws are sent
yut, so to speak, to be a blessing or a
rurse to hundreds and ev-en thousands
>t men, women and children. For the
proper discharge of such responsibili
;ies and duties a clear head, a dliscrimi
ating judgment andl an impartial
nind backed up by a conscientious
~ense of duty and a lofty patriotism
re all require d.
I do not pretend to say that I pos
ess these qualitications and talents.
nd I rejoice that the responsibility of
leciding this important matter is not
nine, nor that of any particular class,
)nt that it strictly belongs to the
people, to those to whom the offices be
nag, and that I am prepared to say
hat I shall most heartily concur in
myI decision fairly made by the people.
No one, not even our fair-minded en
'mies, will pretend to deny but what
he Democratic party has done a great
nud good work for the State of South
arolina since 1876. But while this is
rue, there are other things that ought
o b)e done in order to give the p)eople
hat relief to which they are justly en
itled and whic-h they have a right to
leiand of those whom ther select t .
lo their wvork in the Halls of Legisla
ion. I propose during the coming
ampaign, if the people desire it, not
ly to discuss the familiar quest ions
>f the day, but to bring to their notice
omne of the changes alluded to above,
vhich if made, will give relief, where
elief is greatly needed, and at the
name time will be robbing no citizen
f that which justly belong.s to him.
In conclusion. I thank my fellow
:itizens for what they h2ave in the past
lone for me, for the e ncouraging words
nd flattering complimentsgiven to me
rom time to time, and I now assure
hm, whether elected or not, that
vatever I can do for my native Countyv
md State will be most cheerfully done.

DEAR PETER : I fear you will
stigmatize me as most delinquent
about replying to your kind mis

what could be done for you-hence
my delay. My parents think me
rather too young to begin the voy
age of life with you just yet; and
then I can't do up my back hair

the gout in my right hand and big

good frocks, and wearable shoes.

something about myself, my looks,
my beaux, and also about my big
sis. It is very impolite to tell you
about myself first. so I will tell you
about her; and then I want to save

sis is tall and slim, rather angular,
and rather a hard case; else rather
hard up for fashionable togge ry
and boys; she has one fellow that
hangs around but I am inclined to
think it will end in gass, you just
ought to see her when lie comes
around on Sunday evening to see
her and then goes off without ask
ing her to go to church-she comes
in with a sickly grin on her visage
and vows she does not think the

out; but remarks that she did not
want to go anyway and in her se

CoLUBmI, S. C., May 4th, 1884.
We left Newberry Friday after
noon for Columbia, and reached the
charming city without a mishap
and pleasantly. This is the first
experience of home leaving since
our release from active duty and
it saddens us when we think of the
necessity which interdicis work
that -Othello's occupation's gone.
"Hang Ul)p the fiddle and the bow,
Lay down the shovel and the hoe."
We trust it will not be long though
ere we will be able to resume our
wonted place in life's drama. It is
hard after so long a period to lay I
aside the roll of usefulness and as
sume a life of idleness, and we fear
that we will fall into lazy habits.
A retrospection of the past tells us
that we have been forty-six years in
a printing office-almo. a half cen
tury. From office boy and all along
the line of type setting up to the
harder and we must say less re
munerative position of proprietor
and editor to the present time.
What an experience we have had,
how much we have seen, how much
endured, and how many episodes
have fallen to our lot. But it is not
our aim to speak of these things
now, it would tax our shattered
brain to attempt to recall the past,
and to pick out here and there some
of the many things, which lie stored
away ou memory's tablet-some
other time, may be, we will turn over
its leaves and cull a fragment or
two. Now we must neither work,
nor spin-a yarn, -the doctor says
so, and our own feelings tell us - of 1
the correctness of the advice. A
word or two, or may be three, we
will not consider in the light of
work, but rather in the light of ree
Well, we arrived in Columbia,
and were soon much at home at
the beautiful cottage home occupied
by our son in-law, Mr. A. C. Jones.
We feel better than when we left
and this is much, very much. Four
weeks, ago we never thought of being
in Columbia, or any other city,
except the one made '-by hand eter
nal in the Heavens." How incru
table are the ways of Providence,
and "past all finding out."
Columbia looks charming at
this time, "all dressed in living
green," and is at all times one of
the most attractive cities we think
in the Union, New Haven, Coni.,
not excepted, and her citizens are
hospitable, kind, clever and intelli
gent. Improvement is the watch
word here, everything and every
one is looking upward, and although
there seems to be a perfect stagna
tion in businees, hope fills the heart
with joyful anticipations of the fu
ture. One of the most noted im
provements is seen in the Shiver 1
buildirtg; this has been completely
over-bauled and under the magic
influen1ce of the money of those sue
cessfui and energetic Dry Goods
merchants, Messrs. Desportes &
Edmunds, has been converted into
two magnificent commercial rooms
of extensive proportions, the corner
one occupied by :he firm just named
and the other by our long esteemed
friend, M. L. Kinard, and filled with
the largest, finest and best selected
stock of clothing in the city.
We have already called on and
seen many good friends, whose
sterling v,orth has been revealed
through a long course of intimate
acquaintance, among whom we
name the brothers Jackson, E. E.
the pill and plaster compounder,
and C. J., the leader of low prices
in D)ry Goods andl Clothing. We
would not torget Mr. W. C. Swaf

much larper an more comfortable
quiartzrs than he did a few month::
back. lie will now take your meas
ure and fit you to an elegant suit
of clothes in the store lately occu
pied by Mr. M. L. Kinard. We
are glad to see that he is looking up,
and that he is filled with some of
that hope alluded to above. He is
one of the largest and most popular
insurance agents in the city.

Your most valuable medicine (Swrr's

feel like saying this for the benefit of 'hose
rho suffer like I did. I was poisoned by
'oison Oak, and saw not a well day for six
'ears, util I used Swifi's Specific. In the

sing six bottles of Swift's Specific I am rcs
tired to perfect health-with not a sign of
hat awful poison left !
Yours Truly, DAVID NESBIr r.
I had for thIrty-eight years suffered every

contracted in bathing when a boy. I tried
verything for it, including many Physician,

The Whitaker Community Farm project would be a temporary, 5-year use of the vacant site owned by Portland Public Schools.
Commissioner Nick Fish told about 100 people gathered for an open house at the PCC Workforce Training Center across the street from the site that many things need to happen before the idea becomes a reality.
One is community support. The site sits along the border of the Cully and Concordia neighborhoods. Some groups have said they would like to see the site, at the corner of Northeast 42nd Avenue and Killingsworth Street, become housing, commercial space, or a community center.
Another thing needed for the proposal to go forward is an environmental test to determine if the soil is suitable for farming. The school was closed after radon and mold issues made it unsafe.
If the site is OK, it would be divided into three areas, said Weston Miller, community and urban horticulturist with the Oregon State University Extension Service.
Three acres would be committed to a "Farm-to-School" market garden. Produce such as lettuce, kale, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers would be grown and sold to Portland Public Schools to be used in school lunches at five or six nearby schools.
The money generated would help pay operating costs. Oregon State University graduates involved in the Beginning Urban Farm Apprenticeship program would provide the labor. School children would be encouraged to take field trips to learn about growing healthy food.
Another 1.8 acres would be granted to "Community Partner Blocks." Groups and individuals would compete for the four spots with proposals. The food raised on the blocks would be sold to local restaurants or used in other ways by the community.
To get the site up and operating would cost roughly $50,000-$70,000, Miller said. The bulk of that would come in the form of donations and some money would come from the Extension Service. Other money is expected to come from grants. Public agencies, such as the Portland Water Bureau, the Portland Bureau of Environmental Services and Portland Parks & Recreation Bureau have pledged in-kind support.
"It really is an old-fashioned barn raising," Fish said. No city money is proposed other than money spent on staff working on the proposal.

Saunders calls to see me on Saturday morning. I haven't done anything wrong; I don't think I have. But I knock on the door his office with a sense of trepidation a different girl may not have been feeling right now. We've had our battles, the Housemaster and I, and I haven't won many of them.
"Come in, Sammy," he says. He's smiling; it's a bit of a relief. "Take a seat. I'd like to discuss something with you. Feel free to refuse when you hear my offer."
Oh. Not a spanking, then. I sit down on the soft chair reserved for visitors who are in his good books.
"I'd like you to be my Head of House next year," he says.
My heart skips a beat. I imagine myself with a prefect's badge on my lapel. It's not an image I've ever dared dwell on.
"That's, uh, that's a surprise, sir." I speak cautiously, as though manoeuvring a minefield. He wouldn't be landing such a gift in my lap if there wasn't a big "but" attached.
"Not that much of a surprise, surely," he says; one of his eyebrows crawls upward. "Academically, you are one of the strongest girls in the house. You are well-liked. The younger girls look up to you. You must have considered this yourself."
"Not really." I thought I might get to be a prefect, possibly, if he were in a good mood, but head prefects are exalted beings. Lisa Torrens, the current Head of House, is so perfect in every way she may as well be cast from marble. "You see, sir, my discipline record…"
I trail off when I see him nod. He knows exactly what I'm talking about. I'm not a hardened rule-breaker, but somehow I'm always in trouble. Maybe I'm unlucky, or maybe I'm just bad and don't know it. I've lost count of the times I've been slippered, caned and variously spanked by teachers and prefects alike; not all of these times have ended up on my file, but there's plenty there to make it an interesting read.
"I'm glad you recognise this may be a problem," he says. "That said, I would like to work on it with you, if you are willing to make an effort."
"Work on it? Sir, you can't exactly erase it."
"No. But we still have two terms before it's time to appoint the prefects. If your behaviour improves in the meantime, both the Headmistress and I will be willing to overlook your less than perfect past. It is not going to be an easy journey, which is why I told you that I'm prepared to accept a refusal. Do you want to be a Head of House, Samantha?"
I hadn't known I wanted it until the opportunity was dangled in front of my face, but now that I've imagined myself with a badge on my lapel, giving it up would be a painful, bitter wrench. I imagine what my parents would say. What the girls would say. I imagine the freedom, the power, the privileges. The private study, the late curfew, the respect.
I do want it. Desperately.
"I'd like that, sir. I think."
"Well, you'll have to be sure, because saying 'yes' carries with it certain… conditions."
Ah. Here comes the big "but". "Like what, sir?"
"As I said, I'm willing to work with you on your behaviour, but I realise you can't change your habits overnight. You will need a certain amount of encouragement. To this end, I'm afraid you will find yourself under a lot more supervision than you're used to. You and I will have regular review meetings, daily at first, then, perhaps, at longer intervals. You will have to tell me what you have achieved since we'd last met, and the answer 'nothing' is not something I expect to hear. If you fall short, you will be punished. And I don't mean to discourage you, Sammy, but it's likely to result in a lot of punishment, particularly at first. I'm not unreasonable, but I can't afford to be too forgiving under the circumstances."
"That… just doesn't sound like a lot of fun, sir."
"But I notice you're not refusing."
I am not. All this punishment – it sounds terrible, sure, yet maybe I'll manage not to earn much of it. Maybe all that glorious personal attention from Saunders will stop the yearning inside my chest that pushes me, spinning, out of control. And the rewards… oh, the rewards.
"I think I can do it," I tell him earnestly. "That is, if you mean it, sir."
He doesn't hesitate for a second, even though I expect him to. "I mean it in all seriousness, Sammy. I'm glad to have you on board."
He gets up and extends a hand; I rise to shake it. There is no drum roll, but it feels like there should be. He keeps a hold of my hand, and solemnly looks me in the eye.
"I believe we have something to attend to now."
"What's that, sir?"
"I believe you need to start with an open slate. I could ask you to tell me how you have spent your time recently; whether there are any issues I should be dealing with, and punish you for each of them, like I will in our future meetings. Or I could assume there is a small number of things for which you deserve to be punished, and wipe the slate clean with a single hard caning. Which would you prefer?"
I feel sick, and want to yank my hand away and leave. Yet, I'm not surprised, not really. I imagine the shiny badge waiting for me at the end of this. I imagine Daddy's incredulous face when I tell him that I've been appointed Head of House. Oh god, I hate the cane.
"One caning will do it, sir."
A little squeeze of my hand. "Brave girl. Thank you. Unfortunately, you know the procedure; please go ahead."
Oh, don't I now the procedure. I take off my blazer and hang it over the back of the chair. Teeth clenched, I unzip my kilt, push it down my legs, step out of it. I've been here so many times, and yet my face is flaming. Saunders isn't even looking; he's by the cane rack on the wall, picking out his implement.
I step up to his desk and bend forward, fingers curling around the edge. Normally at this point there would be a lecture, a call-and-response of my list of sins and tearful apologies, but this time I'm not yet crying, and he doesn't know what exactly I have done. I don't dwell on my misdeeds either, imagining instead a slate covered in cursive writing, and Saunders magicking it all away with a swipe of the cane, like a wizard with a crook-handled wand.
"I would like you to concentrate on what a good girl you are going to be from now on, Samantha," he says gently. I feel his hands on the waistband of my knickers, dragging them down to mid-thigh: the final part of the ritual before the pain starts. "We will turn a new leaf, and write your new future together. Yes?"
"Yes, sir." My teeth are clenched to stop them from chattering.
"Twelve of the best. To make sure you remember our discussion."
Twelve! Only once have I had that many, when the police brought me back from an excursion into town; I'd been throwing rocks into the river, but accidentally hit a boat, and got into a fight with college students rowing it. "Yes, sir." This comes out as a whimper.
The first crack of the cane: always a surprise. I never remember how much it hurts. A gasp escapes my lips, and I clench harder at the edge of the desk. A second stroke, just as hard; my eyes start watering. I can't believe how hard he's caning me, without even knowing whether I've done anything. I think of my slate, the slate of my sins; it doesn't feel clean yet, and I wonder whether he knows just how hard he needs to strike. I wish it was easier. I wish…
I've lost count. I think we're midway, but maybe there's more to go. Pain comes in waves; the strokes are loud and scary. "Good girl," says Saunders quietly; I start crying just as he says it, and sob my way through the rest of the beating, like I haven't cried from any punishment before. I hear him tell me that the following stroke is the last one, but hardly register it. The stroke itself brings another surge of pain, but I feel no relief that it's over. I can hardly believe it's the end.
"You can get up, Sammy," says the Housemaster. "You have taken your punishment very well, and I believe it will do you a world of good. Come on now. Good girl."
I think of the slate again. It feels clean, and I'm afraid to breathe, in case it makes the writing reappear. I take a cautious breath. My painful peace doesn't shatter. I unbend and pull my knickers up over my welted cheeks. Saunders has put the cane back on the rack, and has turned to look out of the window, giving me the privacy to get dressed. As though it matters any more that I'm standing here in just my uniform shirt and knickers.
He gives me a few minutes to do up all the zips and buttons, and then turns towards me with a smile, his hand extended in the final part of the ritual. I shake it, more firmly than I ever have at this stage. "Thank you for my punishment, sir."
"You're welcome, Samantha. I'm very pleased that you have chosen to work towards a worthy goal. I will be expecting you here tomorrow at six in the evening, with a report of your progress and activities between now and that time. I will be seeking alternative reports, and keeping an eye on you myself, but I hope that you can give me an honest report nonetheless. And I hope it doesn't come to any more punishment any time soon."
"Yes, sir. So do I."
Twelve parallel lines throb under my skirt. I say a final good-bye, and float out of the office, the best-behaved girl this school has ever known.

The Child Who Inspired Sir Richard Branson's Dreams Of Space Travel Being Sought For VIP Treatment
Lawrence LeBlond for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online
Sir Richard Branson, the man behind the dream to bring citizens into space, has only one person to thank in realizing that dream. During a visit to the BBC TV children's show Going Live! In 1988, Branson got to talk with one enthusiastic child about the possibilities of future space travel.As a child, Shihan Musafer placed a call to the Going Live! show and asked the question that would catapult Branson into the spotlight of human space travel: "Have you ever thought about going into space?"
To which Branson replied, "I'd love to go into space, as I think pretty well everybody watching this show would love to go to space. When you see those magnificent pictures in space and the incredible views, I think there could be nothing nicer. So if you're building a spacecraft I'd love to come with you on it."
Branson said it was not long after that call that he set out to register the name Virgin Galactic and begin the long road to achieving that dream.
Now, after 26 years of blood, sweat and tears, Branson and his team have developed the world's first commercial spaceline. As the end of the powered test flight program draws near, the company plans to begin flying passengers 62 miles over the Earth very soon.
Branson said not only does he want to personally thank Musafer for inspiring him through a simple phone call, he wants to offer him the chance to join Virgin Galactic as a VIP guest and witness a spaceflight.
Yet, according to The Telegraph, it remains unclear if Musafer is being offered just the opportunity to witness a spaceflight or become one of the several hundred potential passengers on the company's SpaceShipTwo passenger spaceliner.
Branson is seeking the help of the public in tracking down Shihan Musafer, who today is likely to be in his mid- to late-30s.
"Can you help us? If you think you can help with the mission to find #shihanmusafer, tweet @richardbranson and @virgingalactic," Branson said on his personal Virgin Galactic page.
Even if Musafer is found, one notable claims it may be a long wait before he can use that VIP pass.
Tom Bower, who is the author of Branson: Behind the Mask, said it is likely that Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo will need a complete overhaul "before it can achieve the required speed and height to be granted an FAA license to operate commercial space flights," as reported by The Telegraph.
Currently, Branson's SpaceShipTwo has only achieved a 13-mile peak since the company was founded in 2004. To be approved as a spaceplane, it will need to reach a height of 62-miles, nearly five times the height the plane has achieved in testing.
Virgin Galactic still believes its goal of sending citizen astronauts into space is very near. And based on the 700 future astronauts who have already booked a seat to space at $250,000 a pop, they likely believe it is very near as well.
Among the most notable celebrities who have reportedly signed on for the space adventure are Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Tom Hanks and Ashton Kutcher. Kutcher became the 500th person to buy a ticket for a ride into space back in May 2012.

It might not look hot and happening from a distance, but once you start following Microsoft closely, interesting nuggets of information always keep rolling in. Last week, Microsoft posted record results for Q2 beating the pundits and announced that it has sold over half a billion Windows 7 licenses to date.
Instagram and Skype are about to land on Windows Phones, rumors about a new version of WP7 showed up, more details of Windows 8 app store emerged, part of Bing maps to be powered by Nokia and more. Read on for some of this week's best Windows app news and updates.
Microsoft Posts Record Revenues
Microsoft's quarterly earnings stood at $20.9 billion, a 5% rise year over year. One of the key component of the bottom line, revenue from the sale of Windows licenses, was down by six percent, mainly due to slowdown in PC sales. Thanks to Kinect, the Xbox division's revenues were up 15%. With a whole bunch of Windows 8 licenses to be sold this year (hopefully) and Kinect for Windows, I'm sure things are looking bright and dandy for the rest of the year.
Windows 7 Crosses the Half Billion Mark
The computing world has embraced Windows 7 with open arms. Despite arguably being the most user friendly operating system, IMHO Windows 7 hasn't sold enough copies as it should have. 525 million is a huge number, no doubt, but if you take into account a prolonged global economic slowdown and tanking PC sales, the numbers don't match up. With Windows 8 on the way in the next few months, sales of this beloved OS of recent times is about to fall.
Microsoft Opposes SOPA in its Current Form
Making its stand clear, albeit being not so wholehearted about it, Microsoft proclaimed that the company opposes SOPA in its current form. Current form is the keyword here. Plagued by decades of rampant piracy, one should not expect MS to stand idly when it comes curbing piracy.
It's an open secret that Microsoft restrained itself from crippling pirated copies of the OS to prevent the perpetrators from embracing Linux (and other alternatives). While not willing to carry a torch to promote SOPA, they are praying quietly that a bill of this sort should pass sooner rather than later.
Instagram Might Come to WP7 Sooner
Fans of mucked up photographs rejoice! Instagram, the hugely popular photo sharing app with some crazy filters might land on a WP7 next to you before it hits the Android market. Now that Android is the largest smartphone platform in the world, the news should sound sweeter than ever.
As someone who has explored developing for both Android and WP7, a great IDE and lack of fragmentation might be the reasons behind this decision. What one should hope is for the trend to continue, that's when the momentum starts building up.
Editor's note: As a fellow dev, I can attest to the ease of developing for the Windows Phone platform. You can't fault MicroSoft's dev tools — they have a long track record of producing brilliant dev platforms.
Skype's for WP7 is on the Way
As I reported earlier, Skype is about to make a splashing appearance on your Windows Phone. The "late 2011" milestone is long gone and now Microsoft is promising that a release is about to happen soon. Deeper integration with the OS is not going to happen until "Apollo" is released. But, after so long, we will it lap up happily.
Nokia Branding to Show up in Bing Maps
To be frank, I have never used Bing Maps (or Bing for that matter). But, if you are one, you might start seeing the word Nokia showing up in your maps real soon. This co-branding is widely credited to Microsoft's relationship with Navteq. Owned by Nokia, Navteq supplies 3D maps and StreetSide map views to Bing.
What makes this news interesting is the fact that Nokia's name will show up in all devices using Bing Maps. Meaning, a Blackberry user will witness Nokia's name ever so often the maps app is launched. It would be interesting to see how Nokia's competitors are going to react!
First Mango, now Tango?
Mango (WP 7.5) for sure has made a name for itself. Without a predictable release cycle like Android and iOS, it's a bit disheartening to see fewer updates about impending versions of the OS. Rumors state that the next version is titled "Tango" and will allow users to create folders in the homescreen in addition to better Windows media player controls.
The Verge reports that with Tango, Microsoft might allow Windows Phones to have just 256 RAM. The current requirement is a minimum of 512 MB. At a time when Android phones are beginning to sport gigabytes of memory and quad core processors, this move sounds preposterous.
Windows App Store Details
Some cool screenshots and details of the Windows store emerged last week. Prices of apps start from $1.49 and can go all the way up to $999 (expect some I am Rich apps real soon!). Demo versions of apps will be available for users to evaluate before making the purchase. Once bought from the app store, you can install apps in upto five Windows 8 PCs.

Glenn loved every moment of Restoring Love – well, almost every moment. He went on the air today and absolutely blasted Stu and Pat for their brief 5 minutes on stage. What did they do that was so bad? Stu and Pat spent the better part of the 4th Hour trying to make excuses for their failure.
Read the confrontation from radio below:
GLENN: You sucked.
PAT: Because we were genius.
STU: First of all, you gave us the worst part of the show by far.
PAT: He's like, I don't want to do this. Why don't you guys do this.
STU: Exactly what happened.
PAT: It's the most boring part of the show!
STU: Where you were saying, "Hey, Bill in Tennessee, he weaved a basket for Jim who was homeless" or something.
PAT: Serving others.
GLENN: It really was. It was three minutes of ‑‑
PAT: Excruciating.
GLENN: "Isn't that right, Pat?"
PAT: "That sure is, Stu.
STU: But in addition to that, first of all, we never actually got to practice it. So we didn't know what was going to happen.
PAT: Yeah.
STU: And beyond that ‑‑
PAT: Which was very difficult because first of all, we're at the rehearsal on Saturday afternoon we're told, "Yeah, oh, you're in the TelePrompTer. Don't worry about it." Then we're told, "I'm not sure it's in the TelePrompTer. I'm going to have to check on that." "Would you check on that?" "Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's in there." Uhhh… we're about to go up on stage. It's not in the TelePrompTer.
STU: Right. So we're doing it off our iPhones.
PAT: Off our iPhones with the script.
GLENN: No, you weren't. That was in the rehearsal;
STU: Right.
PAT: Yes, in the rehearsal. And then at night we finally get it in, it goes into the TelePrompTer. I say, "Are we going to get a chance to look at it? Because those monitors are a really long way." I don't have great eyes to begin with and I'm ‑‑
GLENN: I'm the one going blind and you're the ‑‑
PAT: Yeah. You know I have been blind my whole life.
STU: Right.
GLENN: You have corrective lenses.
PAT: But they don't correct it to 20/20.
GLENN: Excuse me. I'm a doctor.
STU: I know, Doctor. I understand you're a doctor, Doctor.
GLENN: Thank you.
PAT: And Doctor, Doctor, you know that I've got vision problems.
GLENN: I do.
PAT: And I always have.
GLENN: I do.
PAT: He's got the prompters a hundred yards from the stage! I'm like, Stu, Pat ‑‑ no, that's Stu.
STU: At one point I almost ‑‑
PAT: Bill and Bob is it? Is it Bob, Bill?
GLENN: You guys were so awkward.
PAT: I could not see it.
STU: Well, because we were told to stick to the script which was like very basic.
GLENN: Stick to the script.
STU: And then what happened was ‑‑
PAT: Horrifyingly bad.
STU: When Pat said, "Hey, I can't see the TelePrompTer."
PAT: Yeah.
STU: They said, okay, we'll make the font larger.
PAT: Really big.
STU: Which is fine until you realize they do that, you can only see two and a half words at a time.
GLENN: I know.
STU: So ‑‑
GLENN: That's why I had the font adjusted to the size I did.
STU: Well, look. They didn't tell us that. We didn't get to practice it. So we're just standing up there and it's like, "Bill in…"
PAT: And that's all you see!
STU: Scroll! Scroll!
PAT: Scroll!

Contemporary artists have occupied the Factory mice
If you want to know what they are doing, the artists are slightly over 35 (they're not young, and not fall into the scope of every youth Biennale, awards, exhibitions, but also to compete with the art masters them earlier) — you are definitely in the center of creative industries "Fabrika". Yesterday there was opened the exhibition season from six projects, each of which is at the intersection of art.
Photo: courtesy of the press service of the center
In the "Factory" along the artists, designers, filmmakers, dancers, musicians, animators and everyone else working as a production technical paper factory "October" that exists in Perevedenovsky lane already in 1930). So you can imagine why the local atmosphere is reminiscent of the creative chaos in dilapidated premises. But, as practice shows the last world Biennale, textured in such circumstances, the artist reveals to the fullest, without fear of discouraging his experiments to mess with the luxury space.
Sure, I was looking at the installation "Yesterday I dreamed of lightning" by Marina Fomenko. She settled in the Studio, where the brick walls sometimes crumble, by swarms of mice. Here they are hanging on the beams that lie in the holes multiply. The author of the project wanted to create the feeling of danger from growing in our lives of electronic waste. Computer mouse multiply as rapidly as rodents, videosrate which exacerbates the sense of danger". By the way, the installation is interactive: anyone can bring and run it in computer mice.
Marina Fomenko — participant of "Factory workshops", launched by the center to help artists Mature age. They and your competition is, the jury (critics, art historians, curators, including Elena Kuprina-Lyakhovich) which chose three winners. Among them — Alexander Batalov with the project "Souvenir shop" From Russia to Rossia" on state symbols of our country, but not brands such as matryoshkas, Khokhloma vodka. Everything here is for intellectuals: notes of the ballet "Swan lake", florid "AZ" and "Yat" from "the Word about Igor's regiment", disused, the image of Tatiana Samoilova in the role of Anna Karenina, a hatchet, alluding to the painful questions of the hero of Dostoevsky…
In the next room Paul Grishina, where he presented the multimedia installation "the Death in the ice", all too easy. Amid the ice floes panel barricades are piled, and on these screens with abstract video crimson tones. Sounds like Communist music. All this, as I'm sure the author refers to the Soviet utopia. But without the explanatory note at the entrance to the room, the viewer will not guess about the intentions of the artist.
Finally, the third winner was Alexey Rumyantsev "Reconstruction 4.0". It is a scaffolding that stretched over the factory length and breadth, taking with her three floors. Design of slomljena forests and devoid of the standard view resembles a snake, devouring everything in its path. And refers to thoughts about what is happening in Moscow, the change due to overwhelming urban development.

Intel will launch its P35 and G33 based motherboards in this quarter, Q2 to be precise. The message is strong and some motherboards might be released in April / May time. Computex is the ultimate goal and Intel traditionally revealed a lot of chipsets there.
The good thing about these chipsets is that they support both DDR3 and DDR 2 and will finally start the transition toward this faster memory. The second key thing for Intel is that the boards based on these chipsets should fully supports 45 nanometre processors.
These babies won't come till Q1 2008 but it's good to be ready. We hope that these boards are going to end up as a good memory and overall overclockers. We need such a board.

I don't know how I missed this on my radar. It's a new feature from "Picha" (Jean-Paul Walravens, of Shame of the Jungle fame) with English dialogue by Tony Hendra (National Lampoon) and narration by Stephen Fry (Harry Potter).
It was produced in 2007 and never released in the U.S. as far as I know. It's crude, silly, X rated, and definitely NSFW.

|Re: [aspectj-users] Plans for the next release of AspectJ...
This sounds like a good plan. Here are some thoughts:
1. I'd like to see enh #42743 addressed along with any change to declare soft (as in). It's a P2 for me: I find the code the results from implementing an error handling policy that softs many types of exceptions to be awful, because there no way to prevent AJ from softening and resoftening it's own SoftExceptions! I would support changing declare soft so that it ONLY affects checked exceptions; would anyone object vociferously to that? I see that as a logical combination with 45231. I also added some comments to 45231, to suggest allowing calling a method to determine what exception to throw, rather than returning a constant type.
2. I'd also really like to see 48091 get addressed in this round: lazy instantiation of join points would be a major performance optimization for aspects for early adoption cases: including capturing args to a method exec that throws an exception (you only want to pay the price when an exception is thrown), to tracing (only when enabled), etc.
3. Related to 41952, I'd like to see a TypePattern operator -, which is the opposite of +. This will let you talk about methods defined on a given type without being vulnerable to pull up refactorings breaking the code, e.g., you write a PCD with a signature like * MyClass.foo(..) or * MyClass.*(..)). Then someone refactors and makes MyClass extend Abstract, and pulls foo up to be defined in Abstract. Now your PCD breaks! Now, in a dynamic context the better alternative might be to use something like this(MyClass) && execution(* foo(..)), but this won't help in withincode nor for static methods.
If you could write * MyClass-.foo(..) or * MyClass-.*(..) your pointcut would be more robust; the refactoring wouldn't cause problems. It would also avoid surprises when you override a method and suddenly it IS captured by the PCD.
The bigger question is whether this MyClass- behavior should be a default (maybe the current behavior could be defined as exactly(MyClass).foo or MyClass defines foo or ???).

UK Premiere
Short Synopsis:
A savage comedy about deceit and sibling rivalry centered around two
estranged brothers who have nothing in common but their love for one
brother's soon-to-be ex-wife.
Repeat Screening:
Tuesday 5 October 1:45 pm
Screen A
Apollo Cinema Piccadilly Circus,
19 Lower Regent street,
Book Open Soon
Kicked out by his wife Diana and without a steady job, Rudy is living in his car, showering in carwashes and stolen faucet water. When his successful writer brother Paul comes to town Rudy is desperate to prove he isn't a total failure and tries to persuade Diane to pretend that they are still together. Their sibling rivalry is still strong and Rudy can't bear to give Paul any more ammunition to bully him with. When the ruse collapses Rudy leaves, heading for a ski-lodge retreat. He hopes to work on his own novel, Lovers of Hate, but his plans are disrupted when Paul and Diane arrive together.
Rudy decides to remain hidden and becomes something of a ghostly presence in the house, leaving only occasional clues (such as an unflushed toilet) to his presence. As the film turns into a game of cat-and-mouse the two brothers rivalry turns vicious and the tone is expertly balanced between comedy and thriller.
Lovers of Hate is a modern American tragi-comedy; designed to make you laugh, squirm and pity its characters. Brilliant direction keeps the cat-and-mouse game under tight control and the cinematographer does an excellent job of creating a claustrophobic locale. This is a film about a dysfunctional sibling relationship, founded on mistrust and betrayal and viewed through the lens of extreme, savage and unpredictable comedy.

I'm not interested nor do I have the timeVisitor's Question from a 41-50 year old Female
We like eachother. He hesitates to committ because he wants to figure out what he wants. He's leaving his wife after 28 years. We e-mial for 8 months. I make it clear, we can never be more than friends as long as they live together. It's understood. We continue writing and talking on the phone. Suddenly, no response for over a month. last message sent said he really liked me. However, actions speak louder than words. So I forget him. I don't want to date him, I'm not interested nor do I have the time.I miss the conversations, and relating to someone I have much in common with. I want to keep in touch, but just as friends. Because of a common interest we will be crossing paths next week. I want to make some contact before then. Otherwise, I'll just have to see how seeing him goes. I miss his e-mails. Your wisdom is very much appreciated.
RomanceClass.com Advice
Write an email and say that you are looking forward to seeing him.
Ask him if he would like to continue your emails just as friends.
Find out what's happening with his wife... this might explain why he stopped communicating with you. (If they have reconciled, for example).
When you see him, you can get a better idea of what he's thinking.
Good luck! George

Transfer news: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer accepts key men are to leave Cardiff
Last Updated: 18/07/14 3:58pm
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer acknowledges that Fraizer Campbell and Steven Caulker are destined to leave Cardiff City.
With Leicester City and Queens Park Rangers closing on deals for the pair, there is little Cardiff can do to prevent Premier League deals from going through.
Solskjaer understands that sales are an unfortunate consequence of relegation, and he is readying his side for a return to the second tier.
The boys have expressed a wish to play Premier League football again next season and we are resigned to losing them.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
He will not be standing in the way of anyone who is offered an opportunity to step back up the ladder and says he is already piecing together plans that do not include experienced striker Campbell and England international defender Caulker.
"I am resigned to losing both players, we are more or less planning for the new season without them," said Solskjaer.
"The boys have expressed a wish to play Premier League football again next season and we are resigned to losing them.
"I am not going to take an injury risk by playing them in pre-season fixtures.
"It's up to them now to make a decision. Of course, if they decide to stay with Cardiff that's a different matter, but both expressed they want to play Premier League football and we can't give them that this season.
"In theory, I am resigned to losing them and feel that they won't be involved in the coming season.
"There have been loads of approaches, but they still haven't made up their minds."

Mom 'turns to WebMD instead of 911' after son is shot and 'waits SEVEN HOURS to take him to the hospital'
A mother has been charged after allegedly searching WebMD for how to treat a gunshot wound instead of calling 911 after her teenage son was accidentally shot.
According to authorities, Deborah Tagle Googled how to treat a gunshot after her 14-year-old son was shot by a friend in their Santa Fe, Texas home Tuesday.
Tagle, 55, is charged with one count of injury to a child with intent to commit bodily injury, reports theHouston Chronicle.
Shocking: Police say Deborah Tagle, 55, left, Googled how to treat a gunshot wound instead of calling 911 after Pete Jesse Rodriguez, 24, right, accidentally shot her son
Police say Tagle's son was in the house for seven hours before finally receiving medical attention.
A friend of the unnamed boy named Pete Jesse Rodriguez, 24, has been charged with the actual shooting, which is believed to have taken place around 6:30pm May 7.
Police didn't learn of the incident until 2am.
KHOU reported that surveillance cameras from inside the home show Rodriguez tracking the boy with the gun and eventually shooting him in the upper thigh area.
Waited: The boy remained in their Santa Fe, Texas home, pictured, for 7 hours before Tagle took the 14-year-old to the hospital
Wed May 08 09:45:03 PDT 2013
Police: Mom of teen shot by friend turns to WebMD, instead of hospital, for help
A mother was arrested and charged after she allegedly turned to WebMD.com, instead of seeking professional medical attention, when her 14-year-old son was shot by a friend playing with a gun, Santa Fe police said. view full article
Rodriguez was reportedly 'playing' when the gun went off.
The boy reportedly remained on the floor for several minutes before finally getting up.
He's believed to have aided his mother in her web search in which they looked up the term 'gunshots' on WebMD.
Hours later, Tagle drove her son to the hospital, where he's said to be recuperating.
Rodriguez was initially charged with making false statements to police.
Research: Tagle reportedly used WebMD.com to search how to treat a bullet wound. She and Rodriguez have been held on bond
He was later charged, apparently after authorities viewed the in-home surveillance footage, with one count injury to a child—serious bodily injury, which is a felony.
Police have not commented on why the home had cameras installed nor will they release the footage until their investigation comes to a close.
Rodriguez was being held on bonds totaling $151,500.
Tagle was held with bail set at $40,000.
I saw this on MC earlier. I had saved it to post too! Lol WHAT a moron! Ashellbell is correct. HUGE FACEPALM
surveillance cameras from inside the home???
A whole bunch of WTF is surrounding that family.
She probably doesn't trust Doctors. 'Cause you know they just don't know that much and they push drugs on ya , thanks to their connections to "Big Pharm" and force your kids to have vaccinations,etc. RIGHT?So why trust a Dr to patch up your son who was shot. Better check ONLINE!
OR, maybe she was afraid they would blame her or his Daddy ?
Or maybe she wanted to save money for more important things like booze,cigs and drugs ...and play Doctor all by herself?
Cameras installed? Yikes.
This kind of insanity is unreal. WebMD......oh yeahhh.
What a bunch .
That's some powerful-bright lookin' humans there...

This iReport is part of an assignment:
New violence in Israel and West Bank
Protestants against Israeli Palestinian Violence.
There was a major protest in Copley square Boston on the 11th of July 2014. The Protestants were in solidarity with the residences of Gaza yelling "SHAME ON ISRAEL". They protested against the occupation of Palestinian land and Israeli bombardment resulting in the deaths of over 150 innocent civilians, many of which are women and children.
Protestants held several signs and appeared very angry, offended and helpless. There were disappointed that Obama telephoned the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in support of Israel's decision to carry out airstrikes. While there were protesting, some Israeli' came to the scene and had peace flags, shouting and telling them that they don't need to wrap bombs around their women, they need to stop violence and terrorism while some Palestinians verbally retaliated. Boston Police stood around the Protestants to make sure their protests ended in peace. A lady wrote on her placard "Proud Jew against Israel" I stood in front of her and an Israelite yelled out to her that she is on the wrong team.

Thread: Copyright issues?
Hello, I'm new here! I've been a member of POL for ages but I wanted to join here as well. *waves to tigrushka and the other POLers*
I would like to ask if there are any copyright issues concerning posting information about perfumes not in the database? Do you have to confirm the info somewhere or do you need to tell where the info is from?
I have a big database about perfume, collected during a few years. I have photos of the perfumes in the database as well (not taken by me). How about photo copyrights?
sholdn't this post be on the feedback and suggestions forum? anyways i don't really know, hopefully a moderator will answer!.
Welcome to Basenotes, Allure!
Here are the rules, the one you asked about is #4.
If you have further questions, Grant will know all the answers!
"Wovon man nicht lesen kann, darüber muss man schreiben."
Where do you get the photos of perfumes from? Do the perfume companies give them to you as promotional material? I would be so happy to share the photos and other info I have collected but I guess that I cannot do it because of copyright reasons. Blah. :-/
The photos on the main directory are either:Originally Posted by allure
* taken by us
* taken by someone else, and given us permission to use
* provided by fragrance companies.
If you have images of photos which you have taken yourself, I would be more than happy for you to share them with us. Otherwise, we would need to contact the individual copyright holders, which is a PITA!

Abad can't wait to contribute
Patience is more than a virtue or strategy at the plate for Andy Abad. After spending 10 years in the minor leagues and one season in Japan, patience defines his professional career. Abad knows what it feels like to wait for a major league callup. He knows the drudgery of long bus rides. He knows the type of determination it takes to keep a dream alive. He has played for teams in Pawtucket, Sarasota, Sacramento, Trenton, Oakland, Calgary, Magallanes (Venezuela), Osaka, and the Florida Instructional League.

Here in Brazil, there is a very large jewlrey chain called H. Stern… or at least it seems very large, because their brand is promoted everywhere. And I mean everywhere. In hotels, on the back of room keys, on the side of busses… In fact, if I didn't know any better I would think H. Stern was the only company in Brazil.
One day last week, our MBA group was boarding our tour bus, and a representative from H. Stern was standing outside handing us product samples from their store. "Hm…" I silently thought to myself. "Handing out expensive product samples of 10,000R plus gemstones to a group of 24 broke college student. What a 'great' spend of your marketing dollars." Oh well, I wasn't too bothered by it, as I did get a pretty star-shaped charm out of the transaction.
So the very next day, as we're (again) boarding our bus, we see another representative handing out product samples. As I approached the door of the bus, he hands me a piece of jewelry and says, "Hi, I'm [Insert complicated Portuguese name I can't pronounce] from [Insert company name I don't remember, but only because its not plastered on the back of every hotel room key in the city] a competitor of H. Stern. Buy from us instead." All right; duly noted.
It seems as if jewelry companies in Brazil have learned the value of ambush marketing. Unfortunately for them, I doubt either one of these firms will be realizing sales from us any time soon.

Drag racer Robert Hight feels sense of home at Sonoma track
Updated 10:54 pm, Thursday, July 24, 2014
The NHRA has been running cars down the track at the Sonoma Nationals for 27 years. Robert Hight has attended every event.
"It's like coming home every year," said the NHRA's Funny Car points leader.
As a teen, aspiring baseball player and incoming senior at Modoc High School in Alturas, Hight started making the 5 1/2-hour trek from the northeast corner of California to the Bay Area in 1988.
He'd always been interested in all things mechanical and restored his dad's Plymouth Belvedere by the time he was 16. He drove that to the track then known as Sears Point Raceway and later to American River College in Sacramento before landing a mechanic's job with Roger Primm Racing and driver Del Worsham.
Hight was no longer a patron of the Sonoma Nationals. He was a participant.
"I was pretty persistent and just kept calling to get a foot in the door," Hight said.
That led him to his second big break, a spot on John Force's Castro GTX squad as a clutch technician in the middle of the 1995 season. His first week on the job, he and the team landed in the winner's circle.
It was the start of a multi-layered relationship with the NHRA's most successful Funny Car squad and most flamboyant owner. He married Force's oldest daughter, Adria, in 1999, and the couple had their only child, Autumn Danielle, in 2004. In 2005, he fulfilled a lifelong dream to drive.
He first, however, needed the OK from the team sponsor Auto Club of Southern California. With the support of Force, he felt pretty confident.
"John is a pretty good salesman, so I felt pretty good," Hight said.
His driving career has been much better than good. The 44-year-old entered 2014 with more final rounds (49), wins (31, including at Sonoma in 2008) and starts from the No. 1 qualifying position than any driver since 2005.
That includes father-in-law, whom he gives all the credit.
"He took a chance on a guy that had never driven anything but a Ford F-150 truck," he said. "He put me with the very best people and it's been a dream come true."
Hight (1,179 points) and Force (998) rank first and second in the points this season, after the 64-year-old Force made a late rally last season to win his record 16th world championship.
That only came after Hight and Force swapped teams - and crew chiefs - the week following the Sonoma Nationals. Force wasn't happy with how last season had progressed, and the move paid off.
At least for Force. Hight had kinks to work out with new crew chief Mike Neff, won only twice last season and finished fifth in points.
This season, Hight has won five times, splitting two finals with Force (last week, High beat Force in the Mile High Nationals in Denver). With a spot locked up in the Countdown - the NHRA's six-race playoffs - Hight said it's still full throttle ahead.
"We're not going to be tinkering and experimenting as much as refining," Hight said. "Winning at Sonoma would be especially satisfying."

If you found out you were going to be throwing out the first pitch at a Major League baseball game, would you practice? This young lady doesn't appear to have practiced, and will now live on in internet lore as a challenger to 50 Cent and John Wall for the worst first pitch ever thrown.
I mean seriously, you've got to be kidding me, right? It's mind boggling.
John Wall can throw a basketball the length of a court but can't manage to let go of a baseball?
At least none of them asked for a do-over like Bob Costas. His pitch was halfway decent.
This could be considered Yardwork.
