FROM LEFT: Chris Walker, Ted Hartley, and Morgan Hartley
His Explorers Club student membership may have expired, but that isn't stopping 22-year-old Morgan Hartley from exploring.
Young Hartley, who graduated from the University of Chicago last year, has already served as a deck hand on Sea Cloud, a sailing vessel originally built for his step-great-grandmother, Marjorie Merriweather Post (Post Cereal Company heiress and General Foods founder), that was once the largest in its class. Last in the field for The Scripps Research Institute, Hartley studied sperm whales and their attraction to rope.
"I was a total newbie and got the top bunk under insulation pipes that dripped water," said Hartley of his first expedition on Sea Cloud, where his step-grandmother Dina Merrill, Post's daughter, grew up traveling in the ship's princely staterooms.
Last Thursday, at The Explorers Club, Morgan's grandfather Ted Hartley, CEO of RKO Pictures and husband of Merrill, kicked off his grandson's latest voyage—a challenge put forth by Ted himself.
The challenge began late last year when Hartley emailed his grandfather saying that he didn't want any "stuff" that Christmas. "I want a challenge, something you really believe I will not succeed in," wrote Hartley.
His grandfather did not disappoint. "I want you to write a book: you've got only 2.5 years to do it, a publisher must give you $3,000, and you have to sell 5,000 copies," Ted wrote back.
"Our concept is that over a two-year period, we're going to seek out five to seven entrepreneurs," explained Hartley. Traveling from Paris to Tblisi, Georgia, Hartley and co-explorer Chris Walker, also 22 and a graduate of UCLA, have contacts throughout their route to assist with introductions and translating. "We're both entrepreneurs and we're trying to engineer our own MBAs," said Hartley.
Both Morgan and Walker are seasoned travelers. "I've done a lot of backpacking and worked as a deck hand on Sea Cloud," said Morgan. "I was the youngest crew member by ten years."
With a full camping suite, the dynamic duo will hop from Mumbai to Kathmandu to Yangon to Singapore to Shanghai, podcasting here and there as they seek out game changers in microfinance, gender and GLBT rights, the environment, and health care issues that they believe will define change in 21st century emerging economies.
On the pair's decision to use bicycles as their main mode of ground transport, grandpa Ted noted, "You can get through the traffic and meet people in the souks, the markets, and the mud puddles."

How Hot Is It In The NYC Subway Today?
This newsstand is refrigerating the chocolate. Twizzlers, apparently, are impervious to heat.
Temperatures on New York City subway platforms can exceed 100 degrees in the summer. Recently, NY1 reported that the MTA was sitting on a 'secret weapon' it could be deploying to cool stations -- giant tunnel fans.

ADHD and Learning Disabilities
ADHD is not considered to be a learning disability although it can sometimes interfere with a child's ability to do well in school. The National Institute of Mental Health indicates that 20%-30% of children with ADHD also have a learning disability. Learning Disabilities can appear in preschool children as problems in understanding sounds or words or having a hard time using words to express themselves. School age children with learning disabilities can have difficulty in reading, spelling, writing and/or arithmetic. One of the most well known learning disability is dyslexia, a reading disability. It is estimated that up to 8% of school age children have a reading disability.
Some symptoms, such as disorganization, weak executive functioning and the inability to use strategies can be present in both ADHD and Learning Disabilities. Children frustrated with Learning Disabilities can also exhibit symptoms similar to ADHD, such as inattention and inability to focus. Even so, ADHD and Learning Disabilities are separate and independent disorders. Although some people have suggested that the co-morbidity between ADHD and Learning Disabilities is high enough to warrant evaluation for all children with ADHD, most school districts will not perform tests without a child exhibiting symptoms of Learning Disabilities. Some parents choose to have their child tested independently of the school to determine if both exist.
Some of the more common Learning Disabilities include:
Developmental Speech and Language Disorder
- Developmental Articulation Disorder – A child having difficulty controlling their rate of speech. Young children may be slower in beginning to make speech sounds.
- Developmental Expressive Language Disorder – A child having difficulty expressing themselves with words.
- Developmental Receptive Language Disorder – A child having difficulty distinguishing sounds.
- Developmental Reading Disorder – This is more commonly known as Dyslexia. Difficulties with any of the processes involved in reading are included in Dyslexia; however, many people may also have trouble distinguishing or separating sounds in the spoken word.
- Developmental Writing Disorder – A child has problems with any of the functions involved in writing including vocabulary, hand movement and memory.
Developmental Arithmetic Disorder – This is also called Dyscalculia and includes problems with basic math facts, alignment of math problems, and recognition of numbers and difficulty with memorization of facts.

Slick roads causing accidents on I-95, Route 12
State and local police are reporting numerous car accidents as the snow is making the roads very slick and slippery.
A rollover was reported on Interstate 95 North just prior to Exit 73. A state police dispatcher said to expect delays in the area. It is unclear whether anyone was injured in that accident
Another accident was reported on Route 12 in the area of Crystal Lake Road in Groton. Minor injuries were reported in that accident.
The National Weather Service said that rain and snow showers would continue until 4 p.m. before changing over entirely to rain. Total daytime snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches are possible, the weather service said.

I played "3 am Dead Time" tonight, and i believe the game to be strictly okay at this point.

Thank you very much for your review. We are glad to see that you liked the game.
We know that Beta 0.1 has not a lot of story, and that some of the events (like the UFO in the Farm) have not much sense right now. It is mainly because Beta 0.1 is more a public test, so you can actually see the main idea behind the game. It includes a lot of things that have been changed for Beta 0.2 (not just the graphics have been improved, the main AI is a lot better now, the bugs are being fixed, the backstory is in place, we have more and better events, the sound is being improved also... it has been a very hard work,as you can see with the updates here on IndieDB).
We are also very happy to see that the beta testers like the concept of a very changeable AI. It is, in fact, the core of the game, making it very replayable.
Again, thank you for your review, and for the bug notice (the jump while running against aliens), and be prepared for Beta 0.2!

/// Could Google or Tencent Beat Facebook to Buying Snapchat?
Right now, Snapchat is having its "belle of the ball" moment. The mobile messaging service — which lets users exchange photos and video that disappear after a few seconds — is being courted by Facebook . It has long been an app that CEO Mark Zuckerberg lusted after. Thursday afternoon brought another turn of the screw. Valleywag reported that Google could also possibly be considering taking a run at Snapchat, matching Facebook's $3 billion to $3.5 billion offer. Google and Facebook aren't commenting, but sources said that Google has indeed expressed some interest in a deal. Tencent, the Chinese consumer Internet company, has also been eyeballing the company, according to sources. I don't know Snapchat's fate, and from what I've been told, Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel himself is unsure of it. But it got me thinking — whether they're in the running or not, which companies are most likely to go after the fast-growing Snapchat? Let's go down the list. Facebook : Zuckerberg wants Snapchat bad . So bad, in fact, that he tried — and failed — to clone the app outright . Sources familiar with the matter have described the Facebook CEO as "obsessed" with Snapchat and the idea of ephemeral messaging.

Mark Ruffalo: 2011 Independent Spirit Awards
Dear, Mark Ruffalo. I understand the Independent Spirit Awards are definitely more lax than any of the other award shows you've attended. It's on the beach, it's in Santa Monica, your wife's name is Sunrise, etcetera , etcetera. Ok, I get it.
BUT, this is still award season homey! What are you wearing? All that money and you can't iron and tuck in your shirt? Ugh. I think I need more champagne in my mimosa.
To continue judging the fab and the drab fashion at last night's Independent Spirit Awards, stay tuned kids. We have a full day of coverage ahead.

About Us
Our Mission
Christ Episcopal Church Norwich is an inclusive, caring, and unified congregation, which welcomes people from all backgrounds. We are a multigenerational parish with a strong Episcopal tradition. Located in an urban community, the "gateway" church to downtown Norwich, we lift up Christ in our liturgy, Christian formation, spiritually inspired music and provide Holy ground for people on a faith journey. In order to improve ourselves, we look beyond ourselves to serve God in our community. We have a forward looking and ever growing commitment to local out reach and Christian stewardship. We seek to share Christ's light and God's grace with others.
As members of Christ's body we strive to spread His love in the world by:
1. Feeding the hungry

Christ Episcopal Church
We are a small but active parish in Norwich, a 350-year-old city of 37,000 in southeastern Connecticut, known as "The Rose of New England."
We pride ourselves on our excellent music program and our efforts to assist those in our city who can use a helping hand.
We're young and not-as-young-as-we-used-to-be. Some of us grew up in the area and in the Episcopal Church, while others made their way here later in life. However we got here, we have all found a special home at Christ Episcopal Church.
We hope you'll join us for worship or perhaps to enjoy a Sunday afternoon concert and that you will feel at home here, too.
We are located at 78 Washington Street, Norwich CT 06360 and may be contacted at 860.887.4249 or email@example.com

Craft a smart plan, lean on your parents, and with a little bit of luck your new home might actually be a house. You've earned the extra space, now make it your own.

Gallegos's Gadgets
Staff Favorites: Jonathan Gallegos
The eighth installment of our Staff Favorites series features Mr. Jonathan Gallegos. Jonathan has been described as a "strange bird" among the GP crew -- though we mean it in the most affectionate sense. He certainly has an eclectic skill set: a Masters Degree in taxation paved the way for his full-time job as a tax accountant, but before all that this numbers man also figured out how to deftly craft copy, all the while bussing tables, running a "debt-laden" eBay store and toweling off tennis pros. His passions run wide and deep. Photography, cars, sports, arguing the finer points of Shiner Bock and his other favorite beers -- none are spared his attention. All of these things are firmly rooted in his sometimes obscene, always diabolically funny sense of humor. He might not always be entirely tasteful, but he's got a damn good taste in gear.

How I came to get an FXT
Bought the FXT in early August, 2010. My intention was to get a 2011. I heard that the engine, radio and MPG were all going to be better. I couldn't get a confirmation on when the 2011 was going to be released, and my DD at the time (an AWD Audi A4) was starting to become unreliable, so I decided I'd search for a Forester. Many of my friends had Foresters and loved them, and it matched my needs well.
I test drove a 2.5 Premium and liked it well enough, but coming from a turbo equipped "sporty" car, I felt the power was lacking. My good friend is an Audi fanatic, and when I mentioned that I drove the Forester, he asked me what my thoughts were of the Subaru turbo power delivery vs. the Audi A4's turbo? I thought at first that none the Foresters were turbo equipped. I didn't realize that the FXT existed. My buddy schooled me on the Impreza platform and how it carries over to the WRX, STI and Forester. He also let me in on the upgradability of the stout 2.5 motor (though he firmly believes the Audi S4 he owns is the best platform from which to jump into the turbo culture).
I went back to the dealership and asked to look at an FXT. The first time I drove it…. honestly… I was underwhelmed. I could barely tell the difference between the 2.5i and the FXT. Maybe it was because the WRX/STI skewed my expectations. I thought the XT was going to be comparable, no, better than my A4. Still, I liked Subaru. My first brand new car was a Subaru Justy. That car was awesome, for what it was. I had hoped that Subaru had a CVT available for the FXT, but all that was available was the 4EAT. Little did I know how much that small lack of research would come to cost me in the end.
I decided to take the plunge and started searching for an FXT. I knew that I wanted leather, Bluetooth and a turbo; in black please. Easy, right? Nuh uh. While the 2010's were well discounted, there weren't many left to be had. There was a black one in Spokane. That was it for the entire state. The next closest black FXT with leather was in Las Vegas. Instead of going with a 2010, I plopped some Benjamin's down at Walker Subaru in Renton, WA and ordered a 2011 FXT Premium with no extra equipment.
About a month later my worries about the reliability of the A4 proved justified, and I needed something NOW. Called Walker Subaru to see when the car I had ordered was going to arrive. Turns out they never ordered it. I canceled the order, but they refused and tried to hold my deposit. After a long argument and the threat of Small Claims Court, I got my deposit back and started calling around for a dealership that could get it right. I learned that the changes that I anticipated the 2011 model would have were not coming in that year. I negotiated over the phone and email and finalized on the black FXT Limited with 85 total miles clocked at Appleway Subaru in Spokane. It came with more stuff than I ordered on the 2011, but it was available, well discounted and they agreed to deliver it to downtown Seattle.Brand new FXT

" The Edge DS is the latest multi-function multimedia adapter for use with the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS Lite. The Edge DS is easy to use, simply drag and drop files from your computer to the Micro SD Reader. "
Want the convenience of having loads of DS games at your fingertips without having to carry lots of individual game cards around? This is what the Edge was made for. Of course its loads more than just a way of storing all your games to prevent the original game cards getting lost or damaged, its also a way of playing videos, displaying photos, listening to MP3 files or even browsing the web via the Edges Homebrew application.
The Edge card slides neatly into the expansion port at the rear of the Nintendo DS where it reads micro SD memory cards. The handy USB to micro SD card adapter supplied with the Edge allows you to plug directly into your PC and download files using a drag and drop function.
In fact the only thing missing from the Edge as supplied out of the box is a micro SD card without which you can't use the Edge. Fortunately you can buy a basic 1GB card from any supermarket for about £5, the manufacturers claim the Edge will support cards up to 32 GB but since you can't currently purchase anything bigger than 8GB I haven't a clue if thats true. A 4GB is sufficient to store 40 DS games (no thats not a typo) with loads of room to spare.
At this point you're thinking jeez this is gonna be pricy. You'd be wrong. At £24 its very sensibly priced.
Clearly the naughtier DooYooers amongst you are thinking ooh I could just copy my friends games or pootle along to Pirate Bay and download a few DS games for nowt but that would be a breach of the current UK copyright laws.
For anyone who has bought or is thinking about buying a Nintendo DSi/lite, you would be silly to not buy an EDGE card. Basically a game cartridge with a slot for a micro sd memory card, you can have access to music, photos, videos and much more on your DS. There are also tons of 'homebrew' applications for you to use. No matter how big the memory card, it never affects the speed of your DS (mine is an 8gb and not once have I had any problems with it). For those interested, EDGE cards are capable of holding up to a 32gb memory card.
There is software which allows you to 'skin' your ds i.e. change colours, languages etc. For all those unconfident gamers, there is also an inbuilt cheat code which can help you have a little more fun with your favourite games. This is 100% Plug and Play meaning you could be listening to your favourite albums on your DS in almost no time at all.
You can visit www.flash-gadgets.co.uk and get an EDGE card with a 8GB Micro SD card for only £25.99. Also includes Micro SD card reader.

On a spectrum of black and white, lupus can own every microscopic degree of change from the brightest white, to the darkest black. Some days lupus lives with me in a spectacular bright white Light. Light illuminates my soul and touches those around me with love, joy and peace.
The changes can come ever so slowly, so slow they sneak up on me like a child tip toeing behind its mother to surprise her with "GOTCHA." Only with lupus there are never any giggles when I realize

Double Your Donation
Get free money for your charitable donations through work—many corporations will match their employees' donations up to 100 percent, which means double the impact. If your firm offers this, we encourage you to think about taking advantage of it, since it's a unique opportunity to make your money go twice as far for a cause you believe in. To find out if your firm participates, try searching your internal company website and looking for tabs with names like "corporate responsibility," "volunteering," or "community affairs." You can also try entering your company's name into Google with the word "Foundation" after it to see whether your company has its own charitable foundation. If nothing else, try contacting human resources to see if they can help you track down special charitable programs.

Whirlpool dishwasher not draining
So I just installed a Whirlpool dishwasher, WDF510PAYS. Easy enough, what could go wrong, right?
Well, it doesn't drain all the way, I mean the water is to the bottom of the door. I followed the instructions. The drain goes directly out, not thru the disposal, and I looped the drain up high in the cabinet. Same as the unit before.
Any ideas on what to check first? It does drain most of the water, and otherwise seems fine.
new dishwasher I assume? Did you extend the drain line any? Where the drain line hooks to your plumbing, did you check to see if it may be partially plugged. If it isn't something like that you may need warranty service.
Thanks hardwareman. It is indeed new, it appears to drain for a little, then stops. Maybe drains during one cycle and not a later one? Anyway, the drain is the same as the one it replaced. I went ahead and scheduled a call for Monday, was hoping to solve before then, it it will be fine.

When Microsoft invited us down for a quick peak at Office for Mac 2011 prior to its launch next month we obviously jumped at the chance. Considering the massive improvement Office for Mac 2008 represented over its predecessor, and in light off all the announced changes (fare thee poorly, Entourage; how do you do, Outlook?) for 2011, it's nigh inconceivable that the latest version of Microsoft's productivity suite will prove anything but a resounding success.
Paradoxical though it may seem; the changes manage to bring the new version of Office more in line both with Office 2010 on Windows and with OS X as a whole. The obvious import from Office 2010 is the ribbon interface, although in a concession to the knowledge that a number of Office users really don't want to use it, this can be turned off.
OS X flavouring comes partly in the visuals and animations in the Office applications, but mostly from tighter integration with Apple's iLife applications, with support for importing photos from iPhoto using the Faces, Places and similar categories. It's a small change - it's not like you couldn't organise your files into folders yourself before - but if you've spent much time using a Mac, you'll definitely appreciate the time and effort saving it entails.
Microsoft is making a big deal of the "cloud" aspects of Office for Mac 2011. Office's web apps may have been around for a little while, but the option to open from, save to and edit documents stored in "the cloud" is now built into Office. Collaboration with Windows Office users is now possible, too. And PowerPoint has a new web publishing option, letting you push a presentation out over the 'net without having to send the source document.

Ok, so it isn't really Curitiba's best beach, but that is because Curitiba doesn't have any beaches seeing as how it is up on a plateau about 1, 000m above sea level. However, in about an hour's drive you can be at the beach (assuming you aren't trying to drive there on a holiday, when it can take 3 times as long) and they all have one thing in common: they are crap.
They are all long and flat without any real charm to them. The sand is usually packed down so that walking on the beach is like walking on soft concrete. The water is often dirty, and usually cold and the currents can be very strong.
There is, however, one exception to all of this.
Ilha do Mel (Honey Island) is an island about a 30 minute ferry-boat ride away or an hour and a half from Paranagua. Most of the island is a nature reserve and the numbers of visitors are restricted to about 4,000. As soon as you get off the ferry, if not before, all your stress disappears because the way of life here is a lot more relaxed. The reason for this is, I think, the fact that there are no cars here so everything goes a lot slower.
On the east cost of the island, which faces the Atlantic, the wind is strong and the waves are usually very big. I've been told that this is the best surfing in Paraná although, as a non-surfer, I couldn't tell if this is true or not.
On the west, more sheltered, side there is practically no current and the waves are very gentle, making it perfect for families. The view is somewhat spoiled by the huge ships coming into port, but you can ignore them after a few caipirinhas from the beach front bar.
You can walk up a few hills or just lounge around in a bar or on the beach. There is music in a few places, but never too loud to piss anyone off. There are boat trips around the island, or to go and find some dolphins.
It almost has everything.
The only thing that is missing is a doctor, so that when your 2-year-old son dislocates his elbow all you can do is beat a hasty retreat back to the mainland.
And that's when the stress really hits you.
Further Reading
I am still reading 'The Magus' by John Fowles. As it is such a long book, and I have so little time I think I am going to be reading it for a while yet. It has become very complex but the writing is excellent and keeping my interest up.

Power point: The Tarago offers 2.4-litre four and 3.5-litre V6 engines.
23 January 2006
By NEIL McDONALD
WE gave you a glimpse of the new Toyota Tarago last week in our "Class of 2006" new car arrivals.
But further details are emerging about Toyota's stylish new people mover, which arrives here in March initially with a 2.4-litre four cylinder.
The Tarago, known as the Estima in Japan, will be previewed at the Melbourne motor show next month and go on sale in April priced from about $45,000.
Apart from the 2.4-litre, Toyota has launched a luxury 3.5-litre V6 version that could make it Down Under.
In Japan both engines can be hitched to all-wheel drivetrains but this is unlikely to be offered here.
The Tarago was first launched in 1990 and was one of the pioneers of the luxury people mover segment.
Visually the new model features a sharp, deeply sculpted front end with flush fitting headlights that blend in with a narrow grille and bumpers that have integrated foglights.
The overall silhouette features blacked out pillars to create the feeling of the roof floating in the air.
The entire package has been updated with the wheelbase now 2950mm, up 50mm while the front overhang is only 5mm longer and rear overhang 40mm shorter so the wheels are as close to the four corners of the vehicle as possible.
In addition, the height has been decreased by 40mm, now 1745mm, to create a lower centre of gravity.
The 2.4 Tarago is 15mm longer, at 4795mm; 10mm wider, at 1800mm but the front track remains the same at 1545mm while the rear track has grown 20mm to 1550mm.
Being a people mover, the wagon's interior has been designed for function.
The seven-seater's second-row seats have a sliding range of 800mm and built-in leg rests.
The third-row seats can be folded flat into the floor. In eight-seater variants the second-row seats tip up and third-row seats also fold into the floor to create a large and flat cargo space.
The 2.4-litre four cylinder develops 125kW at 6000rpm and 224Nm at 4000rpm and is mated to Toyota's Super CVT-I transmission with a seven-speed sequential function.
The 3.5-litre V6 develops 206kW at 6200rpm and 344Nm at 4700rpm and is mated to a newly developed six-speed sequential automatic. V6 models also get vehicle stability control.
Equipment levels of the Japanese-specification vehicles is strong with a hard disc drive navigation system that has a wide, 15cm colour display, as well as a sound library that can hold up to 2000 songs.
The car's sound system also features speakers with a new structure that uses the roof panel as a diaphragm, producing a dramatic expansion of the sound field.
Front and side blind-spot cameras are also available, complementing the lane-departure warning system and Toyota's intelligent automatic parking system.
Apart from equipment, the new Tarago also adopts Toyota's global outstanding assessment (GOA) crash-safety body with pedestrian friendly bonnet, mudguards and windscreen wipers.

Tobacco Virus Can Extend The Lifespan Of Batteries
Scientists from the University of Maryland have found a potentially positive use for the often-shunned tobacco.
Scientists from the University of Maryland have found that the tobacco mosaic virus can potentially increase the storage capacity of batteries. The virus is known for being capable of destroying over a hundred different species of plants, but can make lithium batteries last ten times as long upon incorporation. This introduces a positive contribution for tobacco growers and users all over the world. Fast Company reports:
The idea is that TMV nanorods are bound to the electrodes in a lithium cell–without the need for any bonding agent–and automagically increase the surface area of the electrode.
This has all sorts of implications for mobile technology. Imagine every lithium battery in every mobile device you own lasting up to ten times longer. That would mean Apple's new MacBook Airs could hang on in standby mode for 10 months, and Amazon's Kindles may only require charging once every year. Smartphones could have useful call times extending up to a week, and as well as changing how we think about our tech this could have an eco upshot–you'd probably not leave your charger plugged in, sucking down vampire power as much as it does right now.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- The New York Mets brought their road troubles to the tropics, yet still were able to leave Puerto Rico with a much-needed victory.
In the locker room at Hiram Bithorn Stadium, there were no high-fives and few smiles after the Mets won the final game of their Caribbean trip, beating the Florida Marlins 6-5 Wednesday night.
"We didn't do many things right, but it's good we were able to salvage one in a close game like this. We're definitely glad to get out with the win," said David Wright, who doubled twice and drove in two runs.
Francisco Rodriguez got four outs for his 18th save in 21 chances. He struck out pinch-hitter Brian Barden with runners at first and third to end the game, sending fireworks into the sky above the ballpark.
Pinch-hitter Josh Thole put the Mets ahead for good with an RBI single in the sixth inning that made it 5-4. Jason Bay singled home another run in the seventh.
The Marlins lost despite outhitting New York 17-10. Every Florida starter except pitcher Chris Volstad had at least two hits.
The Mets, who have more Puerto Rican players than any other big-league team, were the crowd favorite at the cozy stadium. And after waiting out a rain delay of nearly 1½ hours at the beginning, the Mets gave the sellout crowd of 19,232 what they were waiting for during the three-game series.
Mets manager Jerry Manuel said he thinks his team was "a little excitable" to play in Puerto Rico, especially those players with family and friends on the Spanish-speaking U.S. island.
"I think coming here led to some anxious moments. But it's good to get the win tonight, and I think this series was good for Puerto Rico," Manuel said.
The Mets, who have struggled on the road all season, ended a streak of four straight losses away from Citi Field.
Wright, who leads the National League with 63 RBI, helped the Mets score three times in the first. Jesus Feliciano led off with a double, Ruben Tejada reached on an error by first baseman Gaby Sanchez, and Wright doubled them home. Wright scored on a hard single by Ike Davis.
The Marlins were hoping to cap their three-game stay with a sweep. Even so, it was a productive stay at their sometimes home, as the team found stability with manager Edwin Rodriguez -- the Marlins took off the interim tag Tuesday and said he'll lead them the rest of the year.
After Wednesday's narrow loss, Rodriguez, the first Puerto Rico-born manager in the major leagues, said he was proud of the way his team fought to the very end.
"I think it was a good ending, other than the loss. We played very, very well. And the series overall was definitely exciting," said Rodriguez, whose offseason home is about a five-minute drive "with traffic" away from Hiram Bithorn Stadium.
Florida won the first two games of the tropical series that was moved by Major League Baseball in March from Miami, where the Marlins draw sparse crowds, to Puerto Rico.
But the Marlins' night also included four errors. The costliest came in the seventh inning, when Wright reached first on a wild throw by third baseman Jorge Cantu. That helped set up Bay's RBI single.
Cantu made two errors and later left the game, shortly after stretching far for a popup, because of dizziness.
Mets starter Mike Pelfrey was tagged for 12 hits and four runs in 4 2/3 innings. It took the right-hander 40 pitches to get through the first inning, when he gave up two runs.
Elmer Dessens (2-1) got one out for the win.
The Mets made it 4-2 in the second. Puerto Rican native Alex Cora doubled and amped up the crowd with a neat slide to avoid second baseman Dan Uggla's glove, and Feliciano singled.
In the fifth, Uggla slid along the turf and somehow grabbed a grounder by Feliciano, then threw out the speedster. In the sixth, after the Mets loaded the bases, shortstop Hanley Ramirez caught a liner by Feliciano for an unassisted double play.
Scheduled to start at 7:05 p.m., the game did not begin until 8:30 p.m. due to a passing thunderstorm. Fans in slickers soaked up the festive atmosphere, many arriving with cameras or baseballs to get signed. Rodriguez was a top attraction for local autograph seekers.
In the cozy stadium's corridors, musicians played trumpets and drums as women twirled in red dresses with men wearing straw hats. Dancers maneuvered on stilts, while a few performers in horned "vejigante" masks and ruffled costumes entertained the crowds.
Also thrilling the fans was former New York Yankees All-Star center fielder Bernie Williams, who played renditions of both the U.S. and Puerto Rican anthems on electric guitar for his fellow islanders.
- The Mets ended a streak of four road losses.
- Mets SS Jose Reyes was scratched from the lineup with a stiff lower back. He will be evaluated Thursday when the team arrives in Washington for a series against the Nationals.

Outer space has been in the news a lot lately — and that's just fine for the likes of New Mexico.
Not only were we at the center of a couple of recent international news items, but we enjoy a rich history tied to humanity's reach for the stars. But before we get to the "local" space stories, let's take a quick look at what may soon be the biggest news to make its way to Earth in a long, long time.
A couple of weeks ago, I ventured forth to attend my 50th class reunion, looking forward to the event in my hometown of Gallup. The event included classes of '63,'64 and '65, so I anticipated celebrating with a fairly large contingent of former friends.
Well, there were about 12 of my classmates of the Cathedral High School class of '64 present, two from the class of '63, and one from '65. Some were accompanied by spouses, bringing the total to about 28 or so, or a whopping 21 percent … not an overwhelming crowd, for sure.

When God created zucchini, was He was playing a monumental joke on humankind in giving us a bland, tasteless, mushy-feeling omni-present veggie?
I believe the creator hoped to watch our expressions as we attempt to down that slick food that's so prolific it ought to be named "rabbit." Someone should write a book and title it, "How to Stop Growing Zucchini and Rabbits."
In the wake of the Labor Day weekend comes the campaign for Election 2014, in earnest.
All the noise you've heard so far was just the warm-up. Now comes the hyperbole, followed by a big dose of overkill.
Still, it's an important election. On every New Mexico ballot this November, there will be boxes to check for governor and lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state, treasurer, auditor, land commissioner, U.S. senator and representative and five state constitutional amendments.
By 1871 there existed a transcontinental railroad across the United States, spanning the northern Great Plains, and soon plans were in place to run a rail line to the Southwest, roughly along the route of the Santa Fe Trail. Thus was commenced a new railway from Topeka, Kansas, to Santa Fe. (As early as 1863 the Atchison & Topeka Railroad added Santa Fe to its company name, when it decided that New Mexico's capital city would be the southern destination of its rail line.)
Compiled by The Associated Press
The Tribune, Seymour on common sense and guns (Sept. 4):
A little girl's life was changed forever. A man's life was brought to an abrupt end. A nation is left to wonder why and how it all happened.
Recently, reports emerged from Arizona that a 9-year-old New Jersey girl had accidentally shot her firing-range instructor with an Uzi submachine gun. The instructor, 39-year-old Charles Vacca, was standing next to the girl when she squeezed the trigger.
A number of years and columns ago, I promised I wouldn't be writing any more on the overuse of "like." But like a traitor to the cause, I'm preparing just one more, hoping that by being nauseatingly whining, I can help cure the problem.
It's happening in stadiums all over the country. Football! — America's most popular sport.
It's my favorite sport too, but that doesn't mean I can turn a blind eye to the severe health consequences that can happen to those who participate.
Las Vegas prospered for almost a half century before the railroad arrived in 1879. During that short span beginning in 1835, our town saw expansive growth and change. Because of its prime location along the Santa Fe Trail, Las Vegas experienced more bustle and flurry than any other place in New Mexico.
In the 50 years before the railroad, our town witnessed first-hand the major transformative developments of the time, and more than any other place in New Mexico, Las Vegas was at the cross roads of history.

Hey all and welcome to yet another attempt from yours truly at starting a check in series. In the past, they were on and off, but I'm here now to try and stick it out for long run. What is Community Check-In? It's a weekly blog I will be posting (hopefully) every Monday, if not early every week. I cover what's hot not only around the My IGN community and the IGN site, but also in movies, tv, and video games. This is not only about me and my interest, I want this to be a blog series we all attribute something to. There will be trivia, fun games, special categories, and a lot more. While I know this isn't going to blow up, I would appreciate if you spread the word, or just leave a comment. So without further ado, let's Check-In!
No Headset?
Google Console
PS4 Camera Sacrificed
Grand Theft Auto V (8/10)
News on GTA V has been silent, but that doesn't stop my anticipation for it. AskMen just did a video where they explain how Rockstar's gem can be the best selling game of all time. I'm really excited to explore this world in depth for years to come. More than five times the size of Red Dead Redemption?! That's nuts!
I had the opportunity to pre-order the PlayStation 4 Battlefield 4 launch bundle with a one year subscription to PlayStation Plus. I can't wait to jump into next gen and play great looking titles such as Watch_Dogs and inFamous Second Son.
Beyond 300 (8.5/10)
Although I didn't get my email confirmation for Greggy for Beyond 300, I'll be down in San Francisco to perhaps stop by. I've been listening to the show since episode 197 and I've been a dedicated listener ever since.
The Wolverine (2/10)
Oh boy, this movie looks bad. While none of the X-Men films are great except for maybe First Class, this one takes the cake for the least motivating. The trailer, the posters, they do nothing for me. Maybe when it hits Netflix I'll give it a shot.
The Newsroom Season 2 (7/10)
The Newsroom was one of my favorite new shows of 2012 and I don't think the review scores reflect on the shows greatness. July 14th is almost here.
Forza Horizon is endless entertainment that offers fun both online and off.
It's been awhile since I played the ol' Vita and Gravity Rush reminds me why I bought the thing in the first place.
I needed to buckle down and beat some of the games in my collection, so I decided to on Rage.
I don't want to rush through The Last of Us. I want it to be an experience I play for a little then come back to three days later. I want it to grow on me over time (not a clicker reference) like a great tv show.
I actually reviewed this game and is one of the few I go back to play.
Dexter Season 8 Premiere
I'm a bit nervous for this season of Dexter. The first episode felt a bit off in some aspects. The 7th season is my overall favorite, so I'm hoping they can end the series with a bang.
Ray Donovan Series Premiere
Ray Donovan actually had a stronger showing than Dexter which isn't a bad thing, but isn't a good thing either.
Southland Season 2
Just finished the brief, first season of the show, and now one episode into the six episode, second season. I'm curious to see how the show transitions from NBC to TNT.
True Blood Season 6
The show is goofy, off, and just not great, but I'm a fan. The only characters with any purpose of watching are Sookie, Bill, and Jessica. The others make me want to go brain dead.
Family Tree Season 1
Family Tree is a show that marinated with me over time. I knew the tone and style of the show going in, but I'm loving the quirky, dry humor of it.
Weekly Reviews
Keep an eye out for my brief reviews of shows such as Dexter and possibly Ray Donovan.
End of Watch
Watched End of Watch today and the movie is wonderful. It's definitely one of my favorites and the best I've seen in awhile. I love the emotional story that was told and just how intense and heart pounding the action and drama is.
Battle Royale
I've heard about this movie a while back and after watching it, I was very pleased. This movie pins 40 kids against each other in a fight-to-the-death battle on an island. The last man standing wins. It's in the style of the Hunger Games which isn't fair to say since this movie was made back in 2000.
Superhero Movie Ranking
After seeing Man of Steel, I had to update my favorite superhero movies.
The Dark Knight - 9.5/10
The Dark Knight Rises - 9.3/10
Man of Steel - 9.0/10
Watchmen - 8.9/10
Iron Man 3 - 8.7/10
How many games were PlayStation Plus subscribers given over the first year of the Instant Game Collection?
Answer in the comments below.
Well, I hope you enjoyed the first check-in. Now you may be thinking, "Ugh, this was all about Montel." Yes it was, but that's just this installment. Once the community starts commenting and sharing, it'll become more of a blog we all create in unison. We can accomplish this by sharing and commenting. I will be posting a blog on Fridays that will be the lifeblood of next week's post.

The sporty, top-flight feel continues in the interior: all edition iceshine models come with exclusive leather-effect seats with a white fabric insert on the backrest and white stitching, plus a 3-spoke leather sports steering wheel with shift paddles and white stitching. The rings round the dashboard instruments and some contrast components are also white. The audio system basic, comprising an RDS radio with USB and AUX ports for your MP3 or CD player, two integrated loudspeakers and an additional drawer below the operating unit, is fitted as standard – as are the exclusive floor mats.
Limited to 1,800 vehicles, this model is based on the passion equipment line.

Dekanich, Jaffray provide heroics in shootout victory Posted by IceCaps on
ST. JOHN'S, NL – Mark Dekanich stopped the final four shooters and Jason Jaffray scored the shootout winner as the St. John's IceCaps defeated the Albany Devils 4-3 Friday night at a sold out Mile One Centre as the IceCaps paid homage to Canadian military personnel on Military Appreciation Night.
Jaffray coasted in on goal and beat Devils goaltender Keith Kinkaid with a nice move to the forehand to put St. John's in the lead, and Dekanich followed that up with a big save on Adam Henrique, the Devils' final shooter, to send St. John's (7-7-0-0) to its second straight win and pull the team back to .500. Eric O'Dell picked up two assists while Zach Redmond, Ray Sawada and Carl Klingberg all scored in regulation. Dekanich made28 saves in regulation and overtime before going four-for-five in the shootout to improve his record to 5-1-0 on the season.
After a scoreless first period, Sawada got the IceCaps on the board with his first goal of the season. Will O'Neill fed a streaking Max Macenauer, who raced over the blueline and around a defender before putting the puck on Sawada's stick in front of the net. The big winger made no mistake in beating Kinkaid high to give the home side a 1-0 lead.
St. John's made it a two-goal lead at 9:09 on a nice effort by Klingberg. The Swedish winger chipped the puck past a defender in the neutral zone and sped into the Devils zone on the left wing, snapping a wrister from the top of the circle past Kinkaid low on the glove side to make it 2-0.
Albany pulled within one several minutes later on a bullet from the point by defenceman Jay Leach. Adam Larsson fired a quick pass from the opposite point and Leach faked once, and then blasted a slap shot past a screened Dekanich to make it a 2-1 game.
The IceCaps saw their first use of video replay at Mile One early in the third period, as referee Tim Mayer decided to use the video to decide on a Devils' potential goal with the IceCaps leading by one. After a few minutes of deliberation and watching video, Mayer waved off the goal, and play resumed.
The Devils drew even on a power play less than four minutes into the final frame. Henrique made a nifty move at the IceCaps blueline to create space and the Devils' forward snapped a perfectly placed wrist shot that beat Dekanich on the blocker side to make it 2-2.
St. John's went ahead on a great finish by Redmond at 10:38 of the final period. Ivan Telegin dropped a pass for O'Dell on a three-on-two, who made a perfect pass to Redmond, who had joined the rush late. The rearguard placed a shot high over a sprawling Kinkaid to give the IceCaps a 3-2 advantage.
Albany appeared to tie it with roughly seven minutes left in regulation on a strange play. A Devils player threw the puck towards the net from the side boards and it ended up in the net, but after a conference by the officials it was determined that Dekanich was interfered with in his crease and the goal was waived off.
However, the visitors did even the score with just 2:04 left in regulation on a power play. An attempted pass bounced off an IceCap in front and found the stick of Matt Anderson to Dekanich's right. The Devils' forward fed Jacob Josefson in the slot, who one-timed a rocket past Dekanich high on the glove side to send the game to overtime tied at three.
Neither team could find the back of the net in the extra frame, forcing a shootout for the first time this season at Mile One.
It was Dekanich who stole the show in the shootout, denying four-of-five Devils shooters including a huge save on the crafty Henrique to seal the victory. Alex Burmistrov also scored in the shootout for St. John's.
St. John's went 0-for-3 on the power play while Albany converted twice on five chances.
The IceCaps and Devils finish their two game series Saturday night at Mile One Centre as St. John's attempts to sweep a home series for the first time this season. Listen Live with IceCaps broadcaster Brian Rogers at www.stjohnsicecaps.com and on 930AM This Is Newfoundland Labrador, or watch online at www.ahllive.com.

1972 buick skylark. can i make a sheetmetal dash fairly cheaply and easily?
i have a 1972 buick skylark. in replacing my speedometer cable i found out my dash was not well put together by the last owner. now i have a very loose and lopsided dashboard.
i was wondering if i could make a sheetmetal dash for my car?
i dont have a ton of metal working tools or welding experience. i'm very much a beginner all i have is a harbor freight arc welder and some clamps.
i'm a college student so price is a concern, what would making my own sheetmetal dash cost me?
all info is appreciated.
thank you
Let's move this to Body-Exterior. The guys there will help you with this. They're the experts on metal working and painting, which is what you'll need to know.
No one lives forever, the trick is creating something that will.
i dont think the jegs version is big enough honestly. or the right shape for my skylark.
any other advice?
Depending on the complexity of your design, of course you can make it-and, you could also make one out of Fiberglass (which may be easier to a degree)-
As for cost, I just purchased a 4' X 8' sheet of 18 Guage CRS for $26.00 (which would be at least two times more than you would need)-
You could also get one out of a Car that is already made, for instance, say, a Riviera-
where did you get the sheet metal from for that price? and speaking of thickness what thickness do i need? is aluminum better than stainless steel?
yeah the design isnt complex i just need something that will stay on and provide easy access to gauges a/c and radio.
the punisher movie car the gto had a very minimalist simple design. id like to follow that pattern.
it at all possible id also like to make sheet metal interior door panels because mine are all cracked warped and falling apart.
In my area, there are the Suppliers and there are Retailers-call around and ask for pricing-some will cut it down for transport (if needed), some will not. I would think 18-20 Gauge would work, just be sure to get cold rolled steel (you do not want hot rolled if you go with steel.
Again, depending on the complexity (I don't know what the Punisher looks like), you could also use Aluminum-I would venture a guess here (maybe 3003?) would work, but if you are going to do any real shaping you will have to anneal it. Stainless is possible, but for a newbie I wouldn't do it-it takes more talent to weld, and IMHO, it is certainly harder to form.
Door Panels would be easier-I am making a Trunk for my '35 (they didn't originally have a trunk), so I am building a framework and then paneling it with cold rolled. Because of the larger expanse, I am using a Bead Roller to give it some stiffness (something you may have to do on your door panels as they are relatively flat, curves give metal strength). There are some real metal masters out there, and your imagination is your only limit to your design.
I am using Dzus fasteners to be able to take the panels in and out, but in your case, rivets or screws would certainly suffice (and be a bunch cheaper )to hold your door panels on.
well like i said i have novice metal working skills and a cheap harbor freight mig welder. the link shows the idea. i dont want complicated. just simple efficient spartan functional interior.
are there any other sheet metal examples ya'll have that i could take a look at as i'm trying to draw up my plans?
do i really need a metal brake can i get away with some air tools?
i dont have a compressor and will probably end up at harbor freight for that as well.
what psi and gallon size is the bare minimum i could get away with.
Ok, so are you really set on making your own dash? I don't know what condition the previous owner left yours in, so what are we talking about? Missing hardware? Hacked up metal? Lost plastic?
I don't even know what a '72 Skylark dash looks like, but is it really going to be easier than fabricating your own dash? I'm not trying to talk you out of customizing your ride (hey that's what we're all here for) but don't start a project you're not prepared for or you might be disappointed with the results.
If I'm out of line, please ignore my post and make your car your own. I just know from experience that starting from scratch is a LOT harder than it looks.

|Thanks for the additional followup.
The one I'm working on is a Kenmore with ser# CT, service bulletin regarding the F51 code mentions for prior to ser# CU13 replace the board with part# W10130544 which also subs to the same controller this machine calls for: W10189966.
This machine is just barely 2 years old and she has already had the user interface and/or maybe the control board, (I'm pretty sure it was just the user interface because the control board in the machine is part# W10112112), replaced within the one year warranty period.
As far as having a crimped/kinked pressure tube, I'm pretty sure that's not the problem. I took the tube off at the control board and blew back thru it with no problem or obstructions. Also the hose has plenty of slack between the strain bracket were it mounts to the tub and were it bundles with the wiring loom.
Hopefully this new updated board will head off any F51 problems that may have been in it's future.
So far being only a 2 years old machine and these kind of expensive problems already the customer isn't very impressed.
