As many as 2,000 SAG members and producers tuned in via a live online stream on Wednesday to learn details of the new SAG Production Center, which allows producers to download forms and rate sheets, and in many instances sign online, saving substantial time and avoiding the headaches of the paper-based manual approach.
The informational meeting was presented jointly by the MOVE Hollywood and MOVE New York committees, and took place at the SAG headquarters in Hollywood, with participants linked in via videoconference from New York and Florida. Branches in Dallas, Boston, Colorado, Nevada and Portland hosted viewing parties. Online, the event registered more than 31,000 total views over the course of two hours, with viewers submitting questions via email and Twitter.
The purpose of the evening was to familiarize members with the Production Center so they can let producers know how easy it is to become signatory to a SAG agreement using this innovative online tool, the first of its kind available in the industry. Since it debuted in June, approximately 2,800 producers have initiated their signatory agreements online.
The event featured a presentation by SAG National Executive Director David White and a discussion panel that included producers and SAG staff (see photo, left). The panel consisted of producers Carly Hugo, Richard DiPatri and Allison Allain, the first producer to use the Production Center; Mark Friedlander, SAG national director of new media; Deborah Skelly, SAG executive director of industry relations and organizing; Ted Sinclair, senior manager of theatrical and television agreements; and Stephanie Perry, SAG's New York manager of television and theatrical contracts. It was moderated by Pamela Greenwalt, SAG's executive director of communications.
"It's great that we had such a strong turnout for this event, and members are really encouraged by the advances we've made. Simplifying our signatory process and putting it online is the ultimate win-win because it makes it easier for employers to hire SAG members," said Rebecca Damon, New York Division Vice President and chair of the MOVE New York Committee. "Nearly three thousand projects have been signed since June – that's a terrific start."
DiPatri noted that the materials available at the Production Center help to liberate producers from having to carry around a box of paperwork detailing SAG's agreements, since now everything is easily available online, even from mobile devices.
"I just think it is a huge step forward," the producer said.
Hollywood Division Board member and MOVE Hollywood Chair Ellen Crawford added that with the Production Center's myriad features and ease of use, it can be used to flip productions. "We want actors to know about it so they can help inform producers of the contracts and tools that make it easier to turn non-union work union. I think it's a great organizing tool," she said.
White promised more innovations to come.
"We think this is the start of a new era in our relationship with our industry partners and our membership," said White. "This is only the beginning. There are so many efficiencies to gain if we apply technology thoughtfully to the work we do every day."

Preventing workplace violence is a growing concern in the United States and is a frustrating problem facing Federal agencies today. Workplace violence can adversely impact the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of organization operations and raises profound concerns about the safety of employees and public conducting business with the Government. In fact, according to a recent document prepared by the U. S. Department of Labor, approximately 2,000,000 people throughout the country are victims of non-fatal violence at the workplace every year. The Department of Justice reports that violence is the leading cause of fatal injuries at work with about 1,000 workplace homicides each year.
While it is clear that workplace violence is a serious concern, public interest and media attention have focused primarily on dramatic but rare types of violence such as shootings by disgruntled employees in office buildings. Planners of workplace violence programs face the dual challenge of reducing employees' anxiety about very rare risk factors while focusing their attention on more likely sources of danger. Undue anxiety about the "office gunman" can stand in the way of identifying more significant, but less dramatic, risk factors such as poorly lighted parking lots or gaps in employee training programs.
This anxiety can also make it more difficult to cope with one of the most common workplace violence problems – the employee whose language or behavior frightens coworkers. The objective of a well-defined workplace violence program is to help employers recognize and respond appropriately to the actual risks of workplace violence faced by their employees.
OIG Methodology
Since its creation in 1988, the OIG has performed numerous reviews, inspections and audits to evaluate the effectiveness of controls designed to ensure the protection of Commission personnel and property. For example, the OIG has performed several reviews evaluating the security of the Commission's Information Technology (IT) infrastructure (e.g., security of network components, data centers, hub rooms, wiring closets, etc.) and several reviews to evaluate the physical security of Commission workspace. Additionally, the Commission has performed reviews to evaluate the effectiveness of physical security. Prior to the Commission's recent move to the Portals II headquarters building, the Commission contracted for two building physical security studies to evaluate to effectiveness of proposed security measures.
Although the OIG and Commission have evaluated aspects of the workplace violence program, the OIG has not examined other critical portions of the program or assessed the overall effectiveness of the program. The objective of this program is to systematically examine all aspects of the Commission's workplace violence program. Consistent with OPM guidance, the Commission's workplace violence program would include the following components:
- Written Workplace Violence Policy
- Prevention
- Training
- Pre-employment Screening
- Dispute Resolution
- Fact Finding/Investigating
- Threat Assessment
- Employee Relations
- Workplace Security
- Security Planning
- Law Enforcement and Security Assistance
- Physical Security Measures
- Computer Security
- Organizational Recovery After an Incident
The OIG has contracted with a team of technical specialists in the fields of workplace violence and security to assist us in evaluating the Commission's workplace violence program. We are currently conducting a risk assessment of all aspects of the Commission's program, to include policies and procedures, incident response, and comparisons to benchmark agencies. After the risk assessment is completed, we will prioritize special reviews of those aspects of the program that are determined to represent the most risk to the Commission and its employees. Additionally, the OIG will conduct an employee survey (based on a survey model utilized by the United States Postal Service) to determine the employees' perceptions about workplace security.

Research Interests
My research interests fall into the general category of aquatic ecology. More specifically, my research group has examined the role of limiting nutrients in the structure and functioning of stream ecosystems and has characterized the effects of storms on water chemistry in streams. Of late, our most recent efforts have been focused on a variety of aspects of the ecology of streams receiving acid mine drainage, e.g., the effects of AMD on stream productivity and community structure and the bioaccumulation of heavy metals by stream biota exposed to AMD.

SHERMAN, TX -- A new Texoma store opened up five weeks ago in downtown Sherman and "Upscale Thrift" is doing more than just offering unique items to shoppers. It is offering help to those in need.
Twenty-five years ago Jackie Holland found some unopened boxes of food that someone had just thrown away and her ministry "Whosoever Will Outreach" was born.
"That first lady, I said 'would you like to have some food? Fruits and vegetables?' She said, I don't have any money. I said no, it's free. She said I just fed my kids the last food this morning. So my heart was hooked, and I've not gone back," Holland said.
Holland says from that day forward she has looked for more ways to give back to those she calls "hurting people". She says "Whosoever Will" helps anyone in need, from victims of abuse and addiction to the homeless and hungry. Holland says she has even served as a mentor for a sex trafficking victim helping her turn her life around.
"She's been to college. She overcame so many obstacles and I guess that's where my heart is mentoring and just caring," Holland said.
It is Holland's desire to help change lives that inspired her family to help open "Upscale Thrift" in downtown Sherman. She says the majority of the money from sales goes straight to "Whosoever Will" and shoppers say knowing their money is well spent gives them more reason to want to buy something.
"iI's great for it to be local here especially on the square where people can come by and see it and to benefit a ministry like this is awesome," a shopper, Taylor Brewer, said.
Holland, once a victim of abuse, says she knows what it has like to hit rock bottom and feel like your sitting at the bottom of a dumpster, but she says it is never too late to pull yourself out.
"Ifelt like a failure, but your past does not dictate your future bottom line. It doesn't matter where you've been. I doesn't matter what you've done. It matters where you are going," Holland said.

Child Abuse Awareness & Prevention Month & Why it Matters to Buncombe County The month of April is Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention month. In 2013 there were 814 confirmed child abuse and neglect cases in Buncombe County and over half of these cases involved children under the age of six. Maltreatment of children happens across all cultural, racial and economic lines. Children growing up in safe and nurturing environments have a leg up on those that don't. In fact, the research shows that children who grow up exposed to stress and violence are more likely to develop serious health issues such as heart disease and diabetes. Buncombe County Health and Human Services continues to build community–wide supports that help make the safe and healthy choice the easy choice. This month, we are focusing on four key areas that can save a child's life: Choose your caregiver carefully… and then think again Never shake a baby Ask for help – Good Parents are made – not born Preventing SIDS – Practice Safe Sleep CHOOSE YOUR CAREGIVER CAREFULLY & THEN THINK AGAIN… According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, a child's chance of dying as a result of abuse is 6 to 8 times higher when living with a non-related caregiver in the home (e.g., mom's boyfriend). Knowing and trusting who you leave a child with is one of the single most important safety measures you can take to prevent abuse and neglect especially for children under six. Oftentimes this requires a single mom to realize that a boyfriend may not have the ability to care for a baby that is fussy or hard to handle. Sometimes single parents can be put in a difficult position. Who is going to care for their child as they scramble to make it to work on time? Who you leave your child with is one of the most important decisions you make as a caregiver. If you have a concern as a neighbor or a family member, speak up about the importance of choosing the right caregiver. NEVER EVER SHAKE A BABY It is normal for a baby to cry, even for long periods at a time. This can cause anxiety for caregivers but under no circumstances should you ever shake a baby. It only takes a second of shaking a crying baby to cause brain damage or death. Buncombe County Health and Human Services partnered with Mission Health to ensure that all new parents watch the Purple Crying Period – an instructional video on newborns and crying. If you think someone close to you is having a hard time with a baby, reach out to let them know that help is available. Please call our prevention line at (828-250-6000) to access support. ASK FOR HELP WITH PARENTING – GOOD PARENTS ARE MADE, NOT BORN We all need a little help sometimes. Parents and kids thrive in nurturing environments that are supportive and safe. You can take steps today that can make all the difference in the life of your child. Get help and learn skills to be a more effective and nurturing caregiver for your child. Buncombe County Health and Human Services is supporting a community-wide effort to make it easier for parents – all parents – to ask for and find support. Triple P – Positive Parenting Program is a proven method to help individuals deal with parenting issues. Visit www.triplep-parenting.net for more information. Talk to your child. Use every opportunity to explain to your child the world around them – point out colors, count their toes. Go for a walk outside, visit one of our county parks, or read a book with the kids in your life. This type of bonding helps kids build healthy brains. Call 211 to find out what activities are available in our community (many of these don't cost a dime). If you are a caregiver, take care of yourself. Be sure to create a healthy lifestyle for yourself so that you can care for the people that you love to the best of your ability. Fostering healthy relationships with friends and family are a big part of making sure that you and your children are protected. In addition, Health and Human Services is working to provide supports for new parents and families. Programs like the Nurse Family Partnership, school-based teams of nurses and social workers, Community Service Navigators, and trauma and resiliency screening are all part of an effort to build resilient families in our community. PREVENT SIDS: PRACTICE SAFE SLEEP Safe sleep practices can prevent SIDS. Babies should sleep alone in a crib on their back with only a fitted crib sheet. Also be sure that toys, bumpers, and extra blankets are removed. Getting the word out into the community through partnerships that serve young mothers such as Nurse Family Partnership, Community Service Navigators, and social workers can help to remind new parents of the importance of safe sleep. All of us can help to get the word out. NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE – YOU CAN HELP KEEP KIDS SAFE IN OUR COMMUNITY Concerned about the safety of a child? Call (828) 250-5900 to report suspected abuse or neglect. One call can connect children and parents to the supports they need to keep their child safe. Protect those that can't speak up for themselves! Good Parents are made not born. We all need a little parenting help sometimes. Visit www.triplep-parenting.net to find parenting help in Buncombe County. Need to connect yourself or someone you know to resources for parents? Call (828) 250-6000 to speak confidentially with someone that can help.

12 accused of trafficking in prescription drugs
- Written by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio prosecutor says 12 people have been indicted in a prescription drug trafficking operation after a months-long investigation.
Knox County Prosecutor John Thatcher says the indictments include over 400 counts of aggravated trafficking in drugs, aggravated funding of drug activity and engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity.
Thatcher said Monday that the drugs included over 100,000 prescription pills such as Percocet and others with a street value of about $2 million. He planned to release additional details on the investigation and charges at a Tuesday news conference.
Thatcher says shutting down the operation is a significant step in combating the state's opioid addiction epidemic.
The defendants are scheduled to be arraigned May 2.

Ep. 11 Ed
どらえもんのうた (Doraemon's Song), OP for Doraemon, the manga/anime which defined Japan's Baby Boomer generation. L*S ED #11, sang by Miyuki/Tsukasa/Kagami/Konata.
There's really nothing you can say about this anime or this song. Everyone in Asia knows this this song. It's popular to sing in karaoke as one of those cute oldies for everyone to remember their childhood, and the ED is quite accurate in that when Doraemon no Uta is on, EVERYONE, reguardless of age, joins in. Everyone wanted to be Nobita; with his magical robot cat Doraemon and his time machine in his drawers. Everyone wanted to impress Shizuka and beat the crap out of Suneo. Beyond Japan, it really defined the Asian childhood experience. Enjoy this OP.

負けないで (Makenaide), ZARD's 1993 single #6, L*S ED #12. This is the 2004 live convert version; I don't think a MV was ever made.
This is the highest selling single by the enigmatic band ZARD. It was supposed to be a group, but the only member people care about or really know anything about was Sakai Isumi, the lead singer. Very little is known about her during her singing career, and ZARD rarely appears on TV. Their first real concert tour is in 2004, 13 years after their first single. "Makenaide" is their best selling single and the song made ZARD super stars.
This song is most likely a tribute by KyoAni/Yoshimizu to the late singer Sakai Isumi. She died on 5/27/2007 after falling from a hospital balcony while undergoing chemotherapy for her cervical cancer. She is sadly missed by all her fans and everyone related to JPOP. She was one of the first mainstream artists to contribute songs to anime OP/ED and she'd done songs for Slam Dunk, Detective Conan, and Dragonball GT. The Slam Dunk ED "My Friend" is one of the best selling anime-related single ever, selling more than a million copies.:
As a child of 80's and 90's, ZARD was also part of my life. I loved her music even though she was related to the JPOP slut queen, Matsuda Seiko (they're supposedly cousins) and a former swimsuit model (she was HOT!!!) I loved the fact she wrote almost all ZARD's lyrics and her songs are always up beat and positive. I almost cried when I heard the news. I'm sure the guys and gals at KyoAni, most likely ZARD fans like myself, feels the same when they heard the news. Maybe that's why the script calls for another cheezy sentai show OP for the ED, they just added ZARD's best selling single in. It's a nice, sweet tribute.
Oh as for the real ED, the OP to the 1972 tokusatsu cheese fest, "行け!ゴッドマン" or "Go! God Man!". Yes, this white hair superhero is called GOD MAN. I can't find any youtsube video for it (probably all deleted), but plenty of nicovideo goodness. I don't know how to show nicovideo files without an account, so these links are for folks who has registered:
Episode 1 with OP
Original OP with Kona-chan singing:
This is so beyond bad it's beyond awesome. Real props to KyoAni to dig up this gem. Watch as God Man with his bulging crotch battling monster without ANY storyline or style, just two actors in costumes pretending to kick each other. If not for the sad ZARD tribute I would have been laughing much harder now.
EDIT: hell, I'm going all out on ZARD.

TRENTON — City Council voted 4-3 Thursday night to cut embattled Mayor Tony Mack's six-figure annual salary by 52.5 percent.
The pay-reduction ordinance reduces the mayor's annual salary from $126,400 to $60,000. Mack could veto the ordinance in an attempt to prevent it from becoming law. City Council would need at least five votes to override a veto.
Councilmembers Zachary Chester, Marge Caldwell-Wilson, George Muschal and Phyllis Holly-Ward voted to pass the pay-reduction ordinance. The three members who voted against it were Verlina Reynolds-Jackson, Kathy McBride and Alex Bethea.
"I think he's doing a horrible job," Reynolds-Jackson said of Mack. But she didn't support the salary-reduction ordinance, saying the mayor was elected and is entitled to "due process."
"I believe the ordinance is too weak to do what it is to do," Reynolds-Jackson said. She suggested the council could pay Mack to resign if the goal is to tender Mack's resignation.
Reynolds-Jackson, who represents the East Ward, tried to get the salary-reduction ordinance pulled from the docket to work on crafting another ordinance with stronger language, but her colleagues rejected her motion.
Federal officials arrested Mack Sept. 10 on charges he conspired with others to extort $119,000 from a Hudson County developer. The mayor, who is free on $150,000 unsecured bail, has been under federal investigation since September 2010 and earlier this year had his home and City Hall office raided by the FBI.
City activist Dion Clark, who has been one of Mack's biggest critics, said he didn't support the pay-reduction ordinance, saying it was a personal attack on Mack and unfair to Mack's household. "Let's not make this personal," Clark said.
Mack is a married father with four young children.
Robert Chilson, a city blogger and local government watchdog, said the reasons to cut Mack's salary were the same reasons to not give Mack a pay raise. "He's a part-time mayor, so let's pay him part-time salary," Chilson said.
In January, Mack asked City Council to boost his annual salary to $154,000 and also give raises to high-ranking officials in his administration. Council declined to act. Mack never got the raise he wanted.
Local government watchdog Jim Carlucci said Mack has been "missing in action" during the Superstorm Sandy crisis. "There is nothing wrong with reducing his salary. You have the power to do so, and I encourage you to do so," Carlucci said.
"He has not earned his salary. He does not deserve it," North Ward Councilwoman Caldwell-Wilson said. "If he was thinking about the taxpayers of this city … he would step down and not be an embarrassment to the city."
West Ward Councilman Chester said cutting the annual salary by $66,000 is part of his plan to reduce the Mack administration's proposed 19-cent tax rate increase to a 10-cent tax rate hike. "I support cutting the mayor's salary based on what this ordinance says," Chester said.
The ordinance to reduce Mack's salary says "City Council finds that it is in the public interest that the compensation of the office of Mayor be adjusted and fixed at an amount commensurate with the current economic circumstances of the City of Trenton."
Councilwoman-at-Large McBride said the salary-reduction ordinance would increase the burden on city taxpayers because Mack would respond to the $66,000 pay cut by using taxpayer-funded attorneys to challenge the ordinance in a court of law, which McBride said could cost $300,000.
City resident Shaheed Morris supported cutting Mack's salary, saying that Mack's "interest isn't the City of Trenton. His interest is getting out of debt."
"It's very clear he likes being mayor, but he doesn't want to do the work," said city activist Michael Walker, who supported the pay cut ordiance.

Winemaker, historian, father, Grant Burge traces the journey his family's Barossa Valley wines have made from vineyard to table for five generations. Possessing a winemaking style he describes as "instinctive" after 37 vintages combined with 150 years of family history (and the perspective that both afford him), Burge is a source to be reckoned with.
While the success of his wine empire is well known internationally, it's only recently that Burge has set his sights on marketing his comprehensive portfolio in the US. Burge wines have been available in the U.S. since the mid-nineties but his recent partnership with Wilson Daniels, Ltd. has put his entry-level and signature labels in both finer wine shops and on-premise accounts. For buyers and sommeliers seeking products with provenance - wines with a good story to tell - the anecdotes are charming and Burge's range of price points offers tremendous appeal.
As the largest landowner in the Barossa Valley, the Grant Burge Winery's holdings are considerable at more than 1,000 acres and they encompass 18 vineyards in every major sub-region (from Lyndoch in the south to the Eden Valley in the east). With every major soil type and every micro-climate represented, this winemaker has access to some of the finest fruit in the Barossa.
Burge's vineyard portfolio is composed of 50% old vines (in excess of 20 years) and given the fact that the Barossa Valley has escaped phylloxera, his signature "old vine" wines are what put him at the top of his game. The Shiraz vines from his Filsell Vineyard are approaching 100 years old and are the source of one of his most acclaimed and long-lived wines – Meshach Shiraz. Bottle-aged for two years prior to release, this Shiraz typifies the history and grand character of Barossa's signature varietal.
Of his most sought after wines, The Holy Trinity is styled as a Rhone blend (39% Grenache, 35 % Shiraz and 26% Mourvedre) showcasing fruit from dry-farmed bush vines the youngest of which are 50 and the oldest exceeding 110 years of age. The 2001 release shows both freshness of fruit and complex tannins married by spice; a bigger wine attributed to the aged vines that will continue to develop complexity and bottle bouquet as it matures for another ten years.
The story behind the wine's name and label design speak directly to the Burge family's long association with the Holy Trinity Church. While looking for inspiration in the records of the church library, Burge was pleased when the Pastor himself suggested naming the wine after the church. As part of his due diligence in securing the namesake, Burge received written approval for the label and only with that is the wine allowed to enter the US. His wife Helen designed the label that bears the original Renaissance motif found on the church alter cloth. All in all, a fitting tribute to the family's second-generation winemaker, Meshach Burge, a community leader who helped build the Lyndoch Holy Trinity Church and served on the Barossa District Council.
At the more youthful end of the spectrum, a tasting of the Barossa Vines series revealed wines with a definite sense of place and unencumbered style. The 2004 Barossa Vines Chardonnay showed classic varietal expression of peach, melon and a racy minerality that is untouched by oak but enhanced by 20 percent malo lactic fermentation and lees aging. Entry-level wines of this caliber only emerge from the hands of a winemaker whose skill and style can reveal the most character from his crop.
In looking to the short-term future of the Barossa, Burge cautions caveat emptor or "let the buyer beware" of the "virtual labels" that spring up over night and disappear just as quickly. This word of advice accompanies a prediction that he anticipates a shortage of 'bulk wine' by 2008. Only time will tell but then, time has served the Burge family well.

Some respectful suggestions
This conflict is shaping up as a sad tragedy with little accomplished except making radical Muslims stronger. From an isolated pariah to a spokesman for children hurt and killed in this conflict, Iran's power will rise. In the last decade, as people saw the brutality of Muslim conflicts in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, Israel's prestige as a Democratic country providing equality to women rose. Comparative peace seemed to vindicate Netanyahu's policies. His moral division between terrorism and Israel's right of self-defense was being accepted.
That is gone as people see pictures of children dying and bombs at even a schools and shelters. I appreciate the suffering in Israel and having lost friends during 9/11 understand the desire for safety. I write sadly and reluctantly.
I hope there will be some decent Israeli spokesman. The military response is strong, please get a sympathetic spokesman who expresses concern over potential suffering.
Is striking a UN school worth the cost in public relations. Saying safety not public relations matter, until Iran rearms increases nuclear capacity and the consensus for sanctions disappears. If PM Netanyahu were to appear at the UN, pictures of children killed at the UN school would be the rebuttal.
Once the conflict ends, substantial pressure will be placed upon Israel for return to pre-1967, in a situation where the danger for Israel will be the highest. This conflict has not made Israel safer, but instead has strengthened its enemies and with innocent children killed, diluted Israel's argument for moral superiority.
Sheila Novitz, August 14, 2014 4:06 PM
I do not agree
Cannot agree with Bobby5000. Destroying the tunnels and many rocket launchers has certainly made Israel safer for at least a short time. Which is all we can hope for at present and perhaps forever, given the world's hatred of us. Israel's argument for moral superiority is not diluted: Hamas openly admits using women and children, civilians, as human shields, and is proud of this. How on earth does this dilute Israel's moral superiority? Would it be "morally superior" if the Israeli armed forces made no response at all to incessant rockets and mortars and tunnels of Hamas? NO. Israel would simply be stupid and very cowardly regarding world opinion. Finally, I do not believe that this conflict has strengthened Israel's enemies. Sure, in Europe they scream for our death, but this has always been the case. Meanwhile Hamas is militarily weaker (for a while) and a number of Middle East countries are heartily sick of its behaviour, e.g., Egypt and Jordan. And please, Bobby5000, could you stop even obliquely saying that we kill innocent children? Because we do not.

From Sharon Harvey Rosenberg: A Return to Frugal Living

Ripped Off at Group Dinner: Splitting the Bill?
Recently, about 10 couples gathered for a discount dinner at a high-end restaurant in Miami. For $36 a person, dinners received three courses: appetizer, main course and dessert. It was part of a special summer promotion.
A very frugal friend and her husband rarely go out to eat. But the opportunity to enjoy a high-end restaurant meal for $36 and meet with a group of friends lured them out of their normal menu of home-cooked meals.
During the meal, my friends ordered one glass each of the low-cost house wine. One couple ordered only water and others ordered expensive wine and vodka. When the tab came, a few of the couples insisted on splitting the bill, which was not a good deal for everyone at the table.
My friend's portion of the bill was roughly triple the amount she had budgeted for the evening.
At first my friend and her hubby were upset with their inflated bill. But then she realized that that the time spent with good friends was worth the extra expense.
What do you during group meals? What's the best strategy for dining out in a large group? Separate checks or a relaxed attitude?
I have some frugal ideas about dining out. To hear my ideas, please meet me at the Starbucks store at 29th St. & Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan on August 11.
(Full details below.)
I'll share my favorite frugal ideas and offer free samples of iced coffee, plus more. I'll be chatting about my new book: The Frugal Duchess: How to Live and Save Money.
I'll also offer tips about how to spend less money for back-to-school/fall shopping.
Here's the official invite:
An Invitation!
You are invited to my Sip 'n Save book party at the Starbucks location at 29th & Park Avenue. The event features free samples of iced coffee.
Date: Monday, August 11, 2008
Time: 2-3 p.m.
Location: Starbucks @ 424 Park Avenue South

my approach to group dinners is expect to pay for things you didn't order and expect to pay waaay more than do when it's just you/significant other or you/significant other and another couple (where it's easier to divvy up the bill).
I will never ever ever understand why people who order more expensive things don't pony up their fair share, but they usually don't.
We once went out to dinner with a large group and agreed to close out the tab (we had arranged it). We ended up paying $350 over what we had expected! (lots of people obviously hadn't factored in their drinks). sigh, oh well.
- Chaucey said...
I'd always pay for my own. If there were some shared side dishes likes breads then I'd make sure to have one of those added to my individual bill. I don't think it is fair to expect others to subsidise me or vice versa.
Some meals, like Yum Cha are better with a split bill, but I'd still pay for my own drinks.
I had a similar experience as your friend when I went out with a group of old college friends. Now before we even go out in a group it's stated whether the bill will be split or everyone pays for their own. That way I have some idea what I'm getting into in advance, and can judge if I'm with a big spender group or not.
- lulugal11 said...
That is really messed up for those who ordered water and had to pay more.
I don't drink alcohol so I always decided before we start to order that my meal is on a separate check. If everyone else wants to split then that is their problem but I always tell the people I am eating with that I want to pay for my own meal so we can tell the waitstaff BEFORE they start to take the order.
This works for me because restaurant portions are so big that I don't even eat an appetizer before the meal.
Make a decision before you start ordering to save the confusion and hurt feelings.
I wish this post had had more useful content rather than just an event plug. I'm a big fan, but I'm not in the area (or even the right country, for that matter).
- Melanie said...
When I first moved out to California with my fiancee (who had set up shop a year prior to me), we went out a lot with our friends, partly because I was new to the area and wanted to establish that I wasn't some sort of "reclusive girlfriend" who forced my boyfriend to stay at home with me and partly because I didn't know people well enough to invite or be invited over to homes. And, without fail, we paid 2 - 3 times more than our fair share of the bill, to the point where I declared that we were not to go out in groups of 4 people or larger, unless it was with very close friends. Since I like to cook anyway, that has served us very well.
I wish that splitting checks was as easy as telling the waiter, but out here in CA, the waiters always act personally put out when you ask them to do that. Then they give you a lot of attitude. This, combined with overpaying for one dinner too many, has caused my fiancee and I to embrace eating in / having friends over, which always ends up being way more enjoyable than any restaurant. :)
This happened to me for the first time when i was on a trip. I was with about 5 other people, people I barely knew, who were friends of my brother (relatives of his bride-to-be) - They had just picked me up at the airport. We went to a restaurant and they said they expected us to split the bill. But I had only a small amount of money; they were rich compared to me. Also, I had deliberately ordered ice water for my drink, and had ordered something inexpensive to eat (a $6 appetizer, not an entree!). THEY had all ordered entrees _and_ other stuff - spending at least $11 on each entree, etc. Afterward they insisted on us splitting the bill, which was very upsetting to me.
I still don't think it was fair.
It was almost like they just assumed I was on their same income level! - but i wasn't anywhere near their income level!

Subaru to stop building Camry for Toyota in the US
1:47 AM building, Camry, Subaru, Toyota No comments
It was back in 2007 that Subaru of Indiana Automotive, under contract from Subaru minority shareholder Toyota, built the first Toyota Camry at its plant in Lafayette, Indiana. Rumblings of the end of that contract work have been around for a while, as Subaru talked of expanding capacity to build more units and add a line for the Impreza, and Toyota talked of moving Camry production to its Georgetown, KY plant. The news was official internally last November when SIA Executive Vice President Tom Easterday told the Louisville Courier-Journal that Camry production would end. Now, Automotive News reports that both automakers have admitted publicly that the end will come in 2016.
SIA currently has a 170,000-unit capacity devoted to the home-brand Legacy and Outback models, while a $400-million expansion increases that to 300,000 units to prepare the facility for Impreza production in two years. Freeing up the 100,000 units of production devoted to the Camry means a 400,000-unit capability, which is far more than Subaru needs at the moment, but the Toyota exit will allow it to expand any way it sees fit. Subaru has said it will absorb the workers on the Camry line and no jobs will be lost, the mayor of Lafayette saying the development could change the timetable for the expansion.

ASI Survey: Companies Thanking Employees with Gifts Averaging $42
By: PR Newswire
Dec. 6, 2012 05:02 PM
ASI's 2012 corporate gift-giving survey says companies spending an average $26 on each client gift as thanks for their business
TREVOSE, Pa., Dec. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Advertising Specialty Institute® (ASI) today released results from its annual corporate gift-giving survey showing companies expect to spend an average of $26 on each client gift this year and about $42 per employee.
Spending is down slightly from last year, when companies spent an average of $30 per client and $43 per employee, according to the survey.
Food and beverages – like perennial food baskets and tins of popcorn branded with a company's logo – remain the most popular gifts for clients or prospects, followed closely by gift cards, calendars and writing instruments, according to the survey. Gift cards and cash remain the most popular gifts for employees for the third year in a row, followed by apparel and food and beverages.
The 2012 Corporate Gift Spending Survey was conducted by ASI, the largest media, marketing and education organization serving the $18.5 billion promotional products industry.
"Even during times of economic uncertainty, thanking clients for their business remains one of the smartest things a company can do during the holiday season," said Timothy M. Andrews, ASI president and CEO. "Corporate gift-giving never goes out of style and is often rewarded with repeat orders."
Branding is bigger than ever, so companies should be sure to incorporate their logos in gifts, Andrews said. "Nearly 80% of those surveyed this year plan to include their company logo on their holiday gift or its packaging," Andrews said. "That's an even bigger percentage than last year, when 70.6% said they'd brand gifts with a logo."
In the food and beverage category, this year companies are giving away everything from a set of hot sauces and a five-tier chocolate tower to a box of four filet mignons, said Andrews. Clients always appreciate useful gifts, whether it's a cool pen with numerous functions or a four-piece wine accessories gift set. And they're increasingly on the lookout for high-tech items like accessories for their smartphones, e-readers or other portable devices.
"As our survey indicates, building good relationships with clients and just saying 'thank you for your business' are still considered sound business investments for most companies, with 62.4% of those surveyed saying they could attribute better relationships directly to past holiday gift-giving programs," Andrews said.
Top 10 tips for corporate gift-giving:
Nationwide survey respondents from a cross section of industries were screened to have a personal role in decisions about procuring corporate gifts for either employees or clients/prospects.

SOME fishers still have a way to go when it comes to complying with rules and regulations, following a recent operation targeting fishers since the opening of the NSW Murray cod season, DPI Director of Compliance, Glenn Tritton, said.
"Ten Fisheries Officers worked in four teams patrolling from the South Australian border to the Snowy Mountains in the south west of NSW including the Murray and Murrumbidgee rivers," Mr Tritton said.
"A total of 490 fishers were checked by officers with about 89 per cent of people complying with the rules and regulations.
"Twenty-seven penalty notices were issued for a number of alleged offences including failing to purchase or carry a NSW recreational fishing licence, fishing in closed waters and possession of prohibited size Murray cod and threatened species.
"Investigations are also continuing into some alleged unauthorised reclamation works downstream of Wagga Wagga in the Murrumbidgee River, which may result in a range of sanctions being issued including remediation orders to restore the affected areas.
"In addition, a number of fish and fishing gear were seized, including six Murray cod, three trout cod, eight silver perch, five yabby traps and six fish traps."
Mr Tritton said the message just isn't getting through to some fishers.
"Two men were also apprehended with three Murray cod in the Murrumbidgee River on the Friday prior to cod opening," he said.
"Both men each received $500 penalty notices, while another man who was also detected lifting a large illegal fish trap was issued with a $500 penalty notice.
"Ignorance is not an excuse, it is the responsibility of all fishers to be aware of the rules and if in doubt, check with your local fisheries office or obtain a copy of the NSW Recreational Freshwater Fishing Guide, which is available from DPI offices and most places where NSW recreational fishing licences are sold.
"Illegal fishing affects everyone and fisheries officers will continue to target offenders who blatantly disregard the rules which are in place to protect our fisheries resources for present and future generations."
To report illegal fishing, phone the Fishers Watch phone line on 1800 043 536
To purchase a Recreational Fishing Licence visit www.licence.nsw.gov.au.

We have previously seen leaked photos, Twitter images, and Christmas-themed teasers, but now it's time to see the Jaguar XF Sportbrake in all its glory. The British automaker revealed these photos of its newest station wagon, which will make its official debut next week at the Geneva Motor Show.
Though the front of the car looks just like a regular Jaguar XF, the company confirms that every body part aft of the B-pillar is new or unique to the Sportbrake. Even so, the XF Sportbrake is only 0.2 inch longer than its sedan forbear, and weighs only 154 pounds more than the sedan. Rear-seat passengers also enjoy an extra 1.9 inches of headroom compared to in the four-door.
The Sportbrake's razor-straight beltline leads to a rounded tail, with an elegant curved spoiler, and a roofline that tapers down after the C-pillar. The taillights, partially bisected by a chrome trim strip that spans the width of the liftgate, are nearly identical to those on the regular Jaguar XF. The cargo area features an underfloor storage system with three compartments to hold smaller items, a soft-close feature for the liftgate, LED illumination, and remote levers to make folding the rear seats easier.
Cargo capacity with the rear seats in place is 19.4 cubic feet, up from 17.7 in the sedan, while folding the seats provides an ample 59.2 cubic feet of storage. Most of the rear chassis is common between the XF Sportbrake and the sedan version, although the wagon has self-leveling air suspension to cope with extra loading while also providing sporty handling. Jaguar also says the XF Sportbrake will be "an accomplished tow vehicle."
The European version of the car will be powered by either a 187-hp turbodiesel 2.2-liter inline-four, or a 271-hp turbodiesel 3.0-liter V-6. An eight-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive is standard. The Jaguar XF Sportbrake makes its official debut in Geneva before going on sale in Europe in the third quarter of this year.

Pirates of the Caribbean: the Pirate Bay Moves To Island of Sint Maarten 108
New submitter coolnumbr12 writes "For the second time in a week, The Pirate Bay has found a new home for its popular torrent website. A complaint issued Tuesday by Swedish prosecutors threated the Icelandic domain, forcing the file-sharing pirates to take harbor in the Caribbean island of Sint Maarten with a new .sx domain name. 'Control of the island, which has just 78,000 residents, is split between France and the Netherlands. Around 41,000 live on the Dutch side and 37,000 on the French. ... Even if the court grants the prosecutor's request it remains to be seen how effective any seizures will be. Time and again the BitTorrent site has responded by relocating to new domains.'"

The Hurricanes placed six players on waivers on Sunday, likely with the intention of assigning them to Charlotte as training camp reaches its later stages.
According to multiple sources and confirmed by the Raleigh News and Observer, Carolina waived forwards Nicolas Blanchard, Zach Boychuk, Aaron Palushaj and Jared Staal, defenseman Michal Jordan and goalie Justin Peters following the team's fourth exhibition game on Saturday. Due to those players' age and experience, they require waivers in order to play in the AHL this season.
Of players on that list, only Jordan and Staal, each entering their fourth professional seasons, are on waivers for the first time in their careers. Blanchard and Peters have cleared on multiple attempts, while successful claims were put in on Boychuk (three times) and Palushaj as recently as last season.
If no other teams submit claims for those players by noon on Monday, they would then be free to join the Checkers for AHL training camp in Charlotte. It's possible that other players who do not require waivers – of those currently on Carolina's roster not waived Sunday, that list is limited to center Jeremy Welsh and defenseman Ryan Murphy - could also be assigned at that time.
Players on two-way contracts that do require waivers for an AHL assignment that Carolina did not waive Sunday include forwards Zac Dalpe, Nathan Gerbe, Riley Nash, Brett Sutter and Chris Terry, and defensemen Matt Corrente and Brett Bellemore.

...and guess who sends their regards...
The British Invasion really hit big on February 9, 1964, when the Beatles played The Ed Sullivan Show, which the entire family used to watch -- a mass shared experience, which we really don't have anymore.
[ snip ]
The impact of seeing the Beatles was equivalent to a flying saucer landing in Hyde Park. We'd never seen anything like it. They were young, their hair was different, their clothes were different, their attitude was different, the sound was different, and they just exuded hope and the exhilaration of unlimited possibility. It was that much joy being communicated.
Anyway, on February 8, 1964 there were no bands in America. On February 10, everybody had one.

The First Smartwatch for Watch Guys
- Najib Benouar
We usually give the wearable-tech scene a wide berth, but a new smartwatch that was unveiled today at CES piqued our interest: the Pebble Steel.
It's the first smartwatch we've seen that's embraced the analog side of things—meaning, it actually looks like something you could wear with a suit and wingtips and not get laughed out of a boardroom. The gents at Pebble were hearing a lot of requests from watch guys who wanted to try out the new tech—it's iOS and Android compatible, among other things—so they took all of the gadgetry from their first iteration, which looked a lot like the rest of the chunky plastic and rubber read-outs you see strapped to techies' wrists, and then changed everything on the outside for the Steel. They built a tonneau-esque steel case, shortened the distance between lugs, added the option of a leather strap and slimmed down the profile. The result: a smartwatch that looks smart.
We've got a few more looks at the handsome new line of smartwatches after the jump.»

I just wanted to give my opinion on making our county wet.
I would hope we keep it dry.
Those who are for it tell us it will mean more money for the county and they are probably right, but they don't tell us it will mean more paperwork for the county, more law enforcement, more jail space to be paid for. It will also lead to more broken homes, more accidents and more deaths.
Is it worth it?
I would call on all church and county leaders to voice their opinion. I would hope they will vote "no" if it comes to a vote.

And the Nuggets won Saturday's game against the Kings.
Even though the Nuggets are winning, they're not pleased with the way they're winning. There have been a lot of lulls lately, with Denver pulling out victories late.
Still, this is a good problem to have. Many NBA teams are trying to muster wins any way possible, while the Nuggets, who have a 15-game win streak, understand that playing this way can beat the 76ers and Kings, but probably not the Grizzlies or Clippers.
Perhaps the solution is simple: Get Ty Lawson and Wilson Chandler healthy. Both were out against Philadelphia and Sacramento. And the Nuggets were out of sync, falling into victories against lottery-bound teams. But Lawson (heel) and Chandler (shoulder) practiced Sunday and are probable for today's game at New Orleans, another lottery-bound team.
Coach George Karl is trying to change the mind-set of his team heading into the final stretch of the regular season.
"I'll just go on the record for everyone to hear, because what I've been telling the team, for the next 12 games, I don't want to hear about rest," Karl said. "I don't want to hear about we're tired. I want our attitude to be to play the best basketball we've played all year. If you don't want to do that, I'll play somebody else. I don't want to hear 'my body hurts' or 'I'm sore.
"We have an opportunity, and resting is not going to get us ready for the opportunity. That's how I've always felt. If we had a bunch of 30-year-olds, I might have a different opinion. But we have a bunch of 25-year-olds. Every day we can get a little bit better or a little bit mentally tougher or a little bit more aware of what we have to improve on. That's just how I feel."
Backup boost
Anthony Randolph, one of the nicest guys in the Denver locker room, seldom plays even though the Nuggets thrive on depth. But the 6-foot-11 forward has been a bright spot in the past two games, filling in for Chandler.
Against the 76ers, the LSU product had seven points, three rebounds and three steals in 21 minutes. He blocked the 76ers' potential game-winning shot. Against the Kings, he scored eight points and grabbed six rebounds in 16 minutes.
"He's just aggressive. And his pick-and-roll defense is something we like on the court," Karl said. "He has some offensive skills. He shoots too many jump shots for me, but everybody on my team shoots too many jump shots for me."

Stuart Broad may regard team achievements in higher esteem than reaching individual goals, but there must have been some personal satisfaction after his own performances at Headingley in 2009, despite England's heavy defeat.
England won they toss on a seemingly flat track in Leeds in the fourth Test, but were immediately made to regret the decision to bat as the were demolished by Australia having reached just 102 on the opening day.
Australia wracked up over 400 in response, with Broad claiming 6-93 - his second five-wicket haul in Test matches and a personal best in international cricket for the 23-year-old paceman.
England's second innings hardly got off to the best start when Andrew Strauss and Ravi Bopara were dismissed in consecutive balls with the score on 58, before the hosts slumped to 120-7 before lunch on day three.
Enter Broad who, along with Graeme Swann, crashed an eighth-wicket partnership of 108 from 79 balls - England's fastest ever century stand, and the second quickest in the history of Test cricket.
At one point the swashbuckling pair carted the Australians for 47 runs off 2.4 overs; hitting 18 boundaries between them as both Broad (61) and Swann (62) reached half-centuries.
They were, however, unable to prevent England from falling to a convincing defeat, as Australia levelled the series at 1-1 going into the final Test match at The Oval.

Reviews forCorn Bread
My Review
Average Rating
"This was great cornbread ! I used 1/4 c sugar and added an extra egg. Moist and tasty!"
"It was okay. I gave it 3 stars primarily because of the ease. The lack of flavor had me considering 2 stars but that seems harsh since it was good, just not what I'm looking for."
"I almost didn't make this recipe because of the 1, 2 and 3 star ratings. I am so glad I tried it anyway because it is the best cornbread I have ever made! I made a huge pot of Spicy Touchdown chili, and decided it needed corn bread. Well, too often cornbread is too dry. This recipe was more bread-like, and I all my guests (men and women both) said it was the best they ever had and wanted more. Unfortunately I only made enough for everyone to have two, and I wish I had made more because I wanted more as well."
"This is definitely one of the best cornbread recipes I've had. Even the leftovers were moist! I did get a bit worried when my batter wouldn't "pour" like recipe suggested and I ended up "spreading" the batter with a knife, but the end result.....Yummy!!"
"Pardon me, BabyblueeyesJacque, your comment sounds like you've never had TastyKake's sweet corn cakes. They are suitable for toasting, then spreading with sweet butter. They are so scrumptious, you should try them & not knock sweet cornbread."
"Good, basic corn bread recipe. I increase to 2 eggs. Makes the consistency less crumbly."
"I agree 100% with BabyblueeyesJacque. why on earth would anyone want to put sugar in their cornbread?? UUUGGGHHHH YUCKY! Maybe its just a southern thing. As far as the recipe. I loved it. Sure it was a tad bland, but my husband & I loved it just the same with black bean and ham soup! :) We used it to sop of the liquid :) YUMMMM! Recommend it anyday of the week WITHOUT SUGAR!!!!!"

Updated: 8:20 p.m.
There is still a big unknown among the Bengals up front, but left end Carlos Dunlap is ready.
Dunlap didn't play a snap in a preseason game as he recovered from a concussion early in training camp, but defensive line coach Jay Hayes said after Monday's practice that Dunlap is ready to go and could have played in Thursday night's preseason finale. Dunlap practiced last Tuesday full go and has worked in padded practices but went full Monday as the Bengals worked in shoulder pads.
"This is real action. There is no blanks. You need to be ready and prepare like this is the season," Dunlap said before Monday's practice. "Preseason is over with; you need to be on point. I missed the preseason so one of my things is get my conditioning up because those guys got the game reps I wasn't able to get, so I am getting my conditioning up, doing extra running as a team. The D-line runs with me. We are all getting ready, we are getting ready for the Bears. That's our main focus right now: the Bears."
» Left tackle
Whitworth (knee) is leaving all the talking to Lewis as he tries to keep the club's longest streak of 67 straight starts intact. But he did say he expects to play some time this season.
» Right tackle
» The big guessing game now is which player is going to replace the guy that goes on injured reserve-recall after 4 p.m. Tuesday. Indications have been for a month it is wide receiver
» But it probably won't be old friend Thomas Howard. At least not right away. Howard, Cincinnati's best all-around backer when he went down with a torn ACL last Sept. 13, is coming in Tuesday to get his knee checked. Anyone signing for this week's game is due his entire year's salary and Howard may or may not be deemed ready.
"Thomas feels like the rehab has gone well; it's almost been a year," Lewis said. "He feels good about things. We'll see where he is."
» Lewis is suddenly raving about new practice squad member
He says McCalebb can line up and move back there and thinks he'll be able to contribute on the 53-man roster by the end of the year.
McCalebb, who ran one of the top 40 times at the NFL scouting combine, goes by the nickname "The Cheetah" bestowed upon him by the Bengals personnel department.
» Dontay Moch has surfaced on the Cardinals practice squad and that's about right. He's from Phoenix, went to Hamilton High in Chandler, and Arizona plays a 3-4 defense. He fits that scheme better as an outside backer than as a defensive end in the Bengals 4-3.

Rural Health Program Receives Continued FundingUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Associate Professor
The Quentin N. Burdick Rural Health Program, co-sponsored by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene, the Kauaʻi Rural Health Association, and University Health Group, has received funding in the amount of $734,101 from the Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The program recently completed its initial three-year grant period, and will now continue through June 2005 with the renewed funding.
The Quentin Burdick program provides the opportunity for UH students from a variety of health disciplines to participate in multidisciplinary teams during spring seminars and a summer practicum at six rural sites on the neighbor islands. Since its first year, 58 students from the UH Mānoa Schools of Nursing and Dental Hygiene, Medicine, and Social Work, and the Departments of Psychology and Medical Technology, have collaborated with community members to design and carry out health-enhancing programs at six rural sites on the Big Island, Maui, Kauaʻi, and Molokaʻi.
In Hawaiʻi, nearly 90 percent of the land, 20 percent of the population, and seven of the eight islands are considered rural. The six participating sites for the program are located in these rural areas — Honokaʻa and Pāhoa on the Big Island, Waimea and the area from Līhuʻe to Hanalei on Kauaʻi, Kaunakakai on Molokaʻi, and Hāna on Maui.
Dr. Jan Shoultz, Quentin Burdick program coordinator and associate professor at the UH Mānoa School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene, expressed her excitement with the renewed funding. "The success of the Quentin Burdick program depends on many things — the federal funding support we are fortunate to have received, combined with the dedication of our participating students, faculty, site coordinators, and the long list of community partners who continue to devote so much time and effort to improving the health of rural and underserved communities in Hawaiʻi," she stated. "We look forward to building on our past successes and have already added the UH Mānoa College of Education to the growing list of participating UH colleges and departments."
For more information about the Quentin Burdick Rural Health program, contact Dr. Jan Shoultz at 956-8426 or e-mail email@example.com.

Another week, and another set of filings in the Apple vs. Psystar case. And yes, the case continues to get grittier and grittier. Last week Apple accused Psystar of destroying evidence, and this week Psystar is kicking it up a notch. The depositions of key Apple employees are currently under way, and August 14, it was Phil Schiller's turn. According to Psystar, Schiller was "wholly unprepared and unwilling to testify". At the same time, Apple has suddenly told the courts it will no longer seek recovery of lost profits from Psystar, because that would require Apple to give out its profit margins - and Apple doesn't want to do that.

AROUND lunchtime, the songlines of Peter Siddle began to show up on the wicket at Bellerive. Bowlers' footmarks usually tail off to the side of the wicket. Siddle's were unique: a dark signature of seven distinct prints bearing down on the batsman's end.
None of this contravened the rules about running on the danger area of the wicket - just as the umpires found no evidence for the insinuations of seam-picking. Rather, like a set of rubber skidmarks running through an intersection, Siddle's trail of footmarks told the story of unstoppable energy.
Crowds love him, even when, as in this match, they number in the hundreds. Their affection has as much to do with his run-up as his delivery. Where other bowlers strive for rhythm, Siddle goes for broke. John Arlott's description of the late Sam Loxton would suit him well: ''He is a fast-medium bowler of no great subtlety, but he is always endeavouring to bowl the fastest ball ever bowled.''
Perhaps the comparison sells Siddle short, as he has introduced a variety into his bowling that has transformed him from a likeable zinc-creamed carthorse into a vicious war-painted spearhead.
A student yesterday topped the NSW Higher School Certificate in three languages; after tea, Siddle spoke fluently in the three fast bowling tongues of swing, cut and change of pace.
He made every area a danger area when he was bowling at the southern end of the wicket. His faster balls carried at admirable height to the wicketkeeper. His slower ones ran along the ground.
After tea, when things were getting more than a little tense, he bowled a consistent full-length outswing with a newish ball, setting the batsmen up for the away-swinger's nasty little brother, the in-ducker. This combination turned the match with the wickets of the last two batting specialists, Angelo Mathews and Thilan Samaraweera. When Mitchell Starc chimed in with a late, late show of late, late inswing, Australia had its successful endgame at last.
Until tea, it had been far from a sure thing, with Australia unable to squeeze more than two wickets from 57 overs. In the field it had a determined conviviality that became more determined, and less convivial, as the Sri Lankans' defiance continued. Was it Adelaide again? Sri Lanka's champion left-hander, Kumar Sangakkara, survived 225 balls and two video reversals before Siddle got him. But even with Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene out - also snicking Siddle - Sri Lanka had a second line of resistance.
Samaraweera had, of course, survived much worse. To paraphrase Keith Miller, pressure on a cricket field is nothing compared to a terrorist's bullet in the thigh. But Samaraweera the batsman also had a point to prove. His Test average of 50 owed little to his previous performances against Australia. Children in the crowd had been asking for his autograph while he was fielding on Monday. Their second question was, 'What's your name?'
They should know now, as his 140-ball fight was his best performance against this opponent and almost saved the match. With the ball shooting, Samaraweera was orthodox and attentive, ready to ram his bat down like a plumber with his plunger.
He frustrated Michael Clarke into exasperation and then eccentricity. The last over before tea was bowled by Matthew Wade, in hopes of emulating Alfred Lyttelton, the English wicketkeeper who took 4-19 in 1884 bowling underarm lobs with his pads on. Lyttelton's prize wicket was Billy Midwinter, caught behind by makeshift wicketkeeper W.G. Grace, who said Midwinter hadn't hit it, ''but I had no time to prevent the umpire giving his decision, so Midwinter had to go''.
Alas, there was no such reward for Wade, who had to be content with a speed gun flattering his fastest ball as a Glenn McGrath-like 132.1km/h. Any more sycophancy like that, and the speed gun will get its tweets shown on the scoreboard.
So at tea, Sri Lanka still had six wickets in hand. Clarke had taken a risk by using Siddle lightly, saving him for a late burst. Rain delays in the middle session had kept the batsmen's concentration fresh.
The bowling team emerged from the break on that cusp where hope meets dread. Clarke gave Siddle the ball. Like the best fast bowlers, Siddle would make his captain's gamble look like an act of genius.
Australia's win was white-knuckled but significant in its development. Sri Lanka is a very good batting team, and Australia dismissed it while one bowler short. The Australians let those ghosts of Adelaide into their heads, and chased them away.
In fitness and in form, they go to Melbourne in a fragmentary state. But they will tell you there is no better medicine than a team song after a long wait.

I have no doubt, these three questions will exceed the boundaries of your
discussion, but as they have been most troubling to my development efforts,
I figure they're worth asking, just in case:
1.) When I create my own ActiveX Controls (of which I am quite well versed),
I cannot seem to get the control to automatically insert the [Index as Integer]
argument to events such as Click, DblClick, etc... when the control is augmented
as an array (in other words copying the control in question, and pasting
another - accepting the prompt to create a control array).
This works fine when I use the ActiveX Wizard, but I do not like the way
the wizard documents my code, or uses naming conventions.
When comparing a control made by myself and one made from the wizard, I find
absolutely nothing dsifferent in the code (other than the comments and naming
conventions) What am I doing wrong?
P.S. I haven't deleted the necessary mapping comments above the code blocks.
2.) I have created a fairly extensive framework for my development efforts
and have equally extensive error handling in it... but when I try to write
to the native error log, I am forced to use whatever directory the computer
wishes to write the log to (usually the C:\ root directory). I have experimented
with inserting App.Path to force the directory to be that of my program exe
file, and have also tried creating a variable to store the App.Path and use
it in a similar way - niether approach works. Is there a way to force the
directory used?
3.) When creating an ActiveX control that has a transparent BackStyle (for
use with masked pictures), the original picture (hardcoded in the control
prior to compilation) always appears invisible, regardless of the mask color
and mask picture utilized... when I change or even reload the picture (in
design mode), everything appears as it should... what is the problem?
4.) [just remembered this one, hope you'll let me sneak it in
When using the above control, I have code to resize the control to wrap the
picture whenever it is changed (using the ScaleX and ScaleY methods, converting
HiMetric to Twips)... this works well enough when loaded, but when I try
to respond to the picture being resized by storing the code in the Resize
event, the picture's height is wrapped fine, but not the width... I am certain
the code works (no problems using it in objects other than ActiveX controls)...
I'm stumped.
P.S. If there is a way to make the resizing handles disappear during design
time, this would solve the problem too.

Lauderdale County, Miss. Lauderdale County's jail overcrowding problem almost hit a peak Monday morning. At that time 289 inmates were being housed in the Lauderdale County Detention Facility; that was one person shy of the facility's maximum capacity of 290.
When it comes to jail overcrowding, Sheriff Billy Sollie says that one of the main problems is a backlog in court. In fact, in some cases he says inmates wait months or even years for their case to go to trial.
"About 2/3's of our inmate population are here on felony charges and are awaiting a trial date. We have one inmate that's charged on felony crimes that's been here almost three years."
The district attorney and two judges who serve Lauderdale County work within the county at least half of each year; the rest of the time they work in Kemper, Clarke and Wayne Counties. With increasing demands on the court system, Sheriff Sollie says Lauderdale County is one of many areas that's forced to deal with jail overcrowding.
"I think it's a growing trend where you have repeat offenders who can't post bond after they've been charged with a second round of offenses. Again, if they can't post bond they're housed here."
Meanwhile, Board of Supervisors president, Hank Florey, says some county officials are planning to talk with court officials about whether or not there is a feasible solution that would ease the court backlog and jail overcrowding.
The maximum capacity at the Lauderdale County Detention Facility is 290; 289 inmates were being housed there Monday morning. Of those, 169 were jailed on felony charges awaiting trial. To help with the dilemma, 14 Lauderdale County inmates are currently being held in the Kemper County jail.
