Nikola Mirotic will start in Game 2 against the Celtics on Tuesday.
He'll start ahead of Sterling Brown who is active. Mirotic was part of a run in Game 1 which got the Bucks back within striking distance and brings much more firepower than Sterling Brown. His spacing will surely help Giannis Antetokounmpo get better looks.

John Wall (Achilles) was participating in scrimmages with the Capital City Go-Go before the NBA suspended its season.
Wall was scrimmaging every three days or thereabouts, depending on the schedule, and was a regular presence at the team's practices. There's even video of him throwing down a nasty jam on rookie Garrison Mathews at the link below. Despite this notable step forward in his recovery, the Wizards have maintained that Wall will not return this season, even with the hiatus giving Wall an extra few months of recovery time.

March 29, 2020, 9:45 pmTyler BeySG, College
University of Colorado shooting guard Tyler Bey declared for the 2020 NBA Draft on Sunday.
The junior is being regarded as an early second-round draft prospect for this summer. Bey has some potential as a fantasy asset based upon his ability to accumulate steals and blocks, but it's unclear what kind of a role he would carry as a rookie in the NBA. His odds to become a defensive ace, who also develops consistent range from deep, is what NBA squads will be calculating when they look at him on draft day.

Marcus Smart announced that he has been cleared of COVID-19 since Friday.
It is good to see that Smart made a full recovery from the virus. Before this crisis hit the scene Smart was having a strong season with consistent mid-round value for the Celtics. With his secure role as a defensive anchor and his improved shooting from deep, he will continue to be a strong option whenever play resumes.

March 29, 2020, 8:02 pmReggie PerryPF, College
Mississippi State forward Reggie Perry declared for the 2020 NBA Draft on Sunday.
Perry said he will not be going back to college in the fall, and unlike in 2019 when he declared for the draft before withdrawing to return to college, he intends to sign with an agent this time around. He is shaping up to be a second-round selection and made some strong strides during his Sophmore campaign at Missippi State last season, averaging 17.4 points and 10.1 rebounds on .500 shooting from the field. He'll need to continue improving upon this year's free-throw percentage (.768) and prove he can shoot the NBA three-pointer (.324) to become a prospect for standard fantasy leagues next season.

March 29, 2020, 7:21 pmKris DunnPG, Chicago Bulls
Jovan Buha of The Athletic writes that there have been multiple rumors connecting the Clippers with impending free agent Kris Dunn.
Dunn would only add to the Clippers' collection of outstanding defensive talent, though he may be hunting for a role closer to the starting lineup in a perfect world. He's currently shelved by a right MCL sprain that was initially expected to sideline him for the entire season. No matter where Dunn ends up, it's going to take a perfect set of circumstances for him to produce worthwhile numbers outside of the steals category.

March 28, 2020, 9:30 pmPaul ReedSF, College
Paul Reed declared for the 2020 NBA Draft on Saturday.
The junior small forward out of Depaul was named to the All-Big East Second Team this past season while averaging 15.1 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 2.6 blocks. Reed is likely to be drafted late in the first round. He was an efficient scorer in college (51.6 percent from the field in 2019-20) and if his shooting, rebounding and defensive stats translate to the NBA he could be a sneaky fantasy value. Keep an eye on Reed next season in case he is in a role where he can get minutes in the upper-20s.

March 28, 2020, 7:57 pmZeke NnajiPF, College
According to CBS' Jon Rothstein, Arizona Wildcat power forward Zeke Nnaji will declare for the 2020 NBA draft.
Nnaji is a potential late first-round pick in the draft, given that it's a guard-heavy field and some teams may be in the market for some size. That said, it's far too early to make any hard predictions and draft boards remain fluid. With averages of 16.1 points and 8.6 rebounds per game on .570 shooting from the field, Nnaji has the base to be a fantasy-friendly big man, should he earn meaningful minutes on the team that eventually takes him.

Killian Hayes, a highly touted 18-year old point guard who has played three years professionally in France and Germany, has declared for the 2020 NBA draft after submitting the paperwork to the NBA league office.
Measuring in at 6-foot-5 and 215 pounds, Hayes has been on scouts' radars for quite some time after riding some very impressive YouTube highlight videos to prospect relevancy. In his most recent season, with ratiopharm Ulm in Germany, Hayes averaged 12.8 PTS, 6.2 AST, 2.3 REB and 1.5 STL while seeing his NBA draft stock rise as a result. He is a very talented shooter and it is seemingly more and more likely that Hayes will see his name called in the lottery when draft night arrives.

We'll make this one brief, because if it is true, than it is stale by about six years—but we do jump at any opportunity to point out instances in which Nick Saban might have behaved like a dick, and this anecdote certainly qualifies.
Former Dolphins player Heath Evans was a guest on the Jorge Sedano show yesterday, and he brought up a special Saban memory from the team's 2005 training camp:
Jeno James, our best offensive lineman at the time, comes in and collapses after practice, uh, vomiting all kinds of stuff that would make a billy goat puke, eyes rolled in the back of his head. Myself, about four other lineman are trying to carry him from the locker room, to the training room...
Nick Saban literally just starts walking in, steps over Jeno James convulsing, doesn't say a word, doesn't try to help, goes upstairs, I don't know what he does. But then obviously they get Jeno trauma-offed to the hospital.
Later on, Saban told the team that the incident was some kind of "fear the captain" tactic:
Saban calls a team meeting about 10:30 that night. [He] comes down and says, "You know, the captain of the ship can never show fear or indecision, we've always gotta have an answer, and so I had to go upstairs. That's why I walked over Jeno like that, I had to collect my thoughts and decide what's best for our team."
And I'm thinking to myself..."Did he, does he really believe what he's just saying?" He showed no human emotion for one of his best players. He literally stepped over him when four or five grown men are trying to carry Jeno to the training room.
Perhaps he thought they had it handled. Or perhaps Nick Saban is just kind of a dick.

Crime Prevention Tips
The safety of students and staff is the top priority for the Department of Safety and Security at Jefferson - East Falls Campus. While there is no absolute protection from crime, increased awareness of crime prevention techniques can help decrease the possibility of crime occurring.
Please review this text and become familiar with the ways to protect yourself and your property from crime. This line is monitored/recorded for accuracy.
Call 215.951.2999 or 215.848-5555
Residence Hall Living
- A large number of residence hall thefts from unlocked rooms occur while the residents of the room are on the same floor, but step out for one minute. It takes approximately eight seconds for someone to walk into an unattended room and remove something, such as a purse or jewelry. Lock your door, even if you are only going to the bathroom or to the room next door.
- Lock your door when you are in your room, especially when you are asleep.
- Lock windows that are accessible from the outside.
- Try to take showers only when there are other residents on the floor.
- Never leave handbags, billfolds, jewelry or other valuables unattended in residence hall rooms, showers or lounges. Put them away in a safe place in your room (under lock and key, if possible.)
- Strangers loitering in or around residence halls should be reported to the Department of Safety and Security.
- Do not prop open residence hall doors that are supposed to be locked.
- Try not to leave small items of value in your room during vacation periods and long holidays.
- If you receive annoying or obscene telephone calls, notify the Department of Safety & Security at once. It may be a prank, but you never know.
- Do not let strangers into your room. Use the door viewer to see who it is and call the department of safety and security to verify his/her legitimacy.
- Do not advertise or write on your door where you will be or when you will return.
- All crimes should be reported to the Department of Safety and Security as soon as possible.
In The House or Apartment
- Never use your first name in the telephone directories or mailboxes and avoid prefixes: Mrs., Miss, or Ms. List your first initial only.
- After moving into a new home or apartment, it is a good idea to change the door locks. Every window that can be entered from the outside should have a good lock and be properly secured.
- Never open your door to strangers! Repairpersons and salespersons carry proper identification. It is in your best interest to request that they show it to you before you admit them. Also, most repairpersons and salespersons make appointments before hand. During non-working hours, if repairperson are making "emergency" repairs or checks, confirm the necessity for the work by phone before admittance.
- If someone wants to use your phone, regardless of the type of emergency, offer to make the call. Do not open the door.
- Always keep windows secured and covered at night. Never reveal, neither in person nor to a telephone caller, that you are alone. Have two lights on in different locations of the house. This gives the impression of more than one person at home. To secure sliding doors, place a strong wooden broom handle or dowel in the lower track of the door.
- In apartment buildings, be wary of deserted laundry rooms.
On Campus
- When walking at night, use the best-lighted route and try not to walk alone, if possible.
- Do not jog alone.
- Do not leave your book bags, backpacks, or other items of value unattended in Academic buildings at any time. Protect your wallet, purse, checkbook and credit cards from theft by keeping them with you at all times.
- If you are the victim of a crime, notify the Department of Safety and Security immediately. If necessary, use the blue light emergency phones, which can be seen from most areas of the campus. Contacting the Department of Safety and Security is our only chance of helping you.
- Report any encounters with voyeurs or exhibitionists to the department of safety and security.
- Walk near the center of the sidewalk and use the busiest, safest, and best-lighted routes. Avoid alleys, parks, vacant lots and parking areas that are deserted and dark.
- Never hitchhike.
- If you think someone is following you, cross the street, walk faster or even walk down the middle of the street. Try to go to a lighted area, store or near a group of people.
- Do not accept rides from strangers. If a car approaches and you are threatened, walk in the opposite direction of the vehicle.
- Do not overload yourself with packages, books and other things.
- If your purse is snatched or if you are approached by a would-be robber...don't fight. Cooperate rather than risk injury. It will not be a great loss if you carry no more cash than is absolutely necessary and keep a list at home of all credit cards, licenses, etc.
- When you walk to your vehicle, have your keys ready in your hand so you will not have to stand outside your car looking for them.
- Always check the rear seat and floor before you get into your car.
- Lock the doors as soon as you get into your vehicle and keep them locked.
- Do not pick up hitchhikers.
- When stopping your car in traffic, always leave enough room to pull around any stopped vehicle that may be in front of you.
- If you believe you are being followed by another car, do not turn into your driveway or parking lot. Attempt to locate open businesses, or drive to the nearest police department. Use your horn and lights to attract attention. Try to obtain a license number of the other vehicle to pass onto the police.
- If you have car trouble, raise the hood and sit inside your car with the doors locked until assistance arrives. Ask the person who approaches to call a service truck for you. Keep an ample supply of gasoline in your car so you don't run out of gas.
- Do not stop to offer help to a stranded motorist, male or female. Stop at the next public telephone and call the police or a service station.
- If you park your car and the attendant asks you to leave your keys, leave only the car keys.
- Place valuables in the locked trunk or otherwise conceal where they cannot be seen.
- Always secure your bicycle, both wheels and the frame, with sturdy chains, locks and U-locks, to the bicycle racks on campus.
Off Campus Living
- All students choosing to live off campus should be aware that they need to dial #911 to reach the Philadelphia Police and the Philadelphia Fire Department in case of an emergency or if they require police assistance.
Psychological Preparation
- Be prepared: There is a lot you can do to avoid becoming a victim, or to respond effectively if a crime does take place.
- Educate yourself concerning crime prevention tactics.
- Consider in advance what you would do if confronted by a criminal.
Everyone must work together to create a safe campus. Please report all crimes to the Department of Safety and Security as soon as possible. The security staff is on duty 24 hours a day.

Dapper and chic would best describe the polished Spring 2013 collection from VLOV Qing Qing. The collection debuted during New York Fashion Week to a receptive crowd of spectators and celebrity guests.
Unlike previous collections that possessed a futuristic flair, Spring 2013 introduced modest colors and professional styles that would flatter most men. Handsome models wore sleek cardigans, trousers, shorts and blazers that were offered in linen, silk, cotton and polyester.
Make no mistake; although some of the garments would be considered "safe," Wu certainly didn't lose his edge. The devil was in the details, with zipper pockets on blazers, sheen fabrics and unexpected geometric prints on t-shirts.
Getting inspiration from "tranquility and the serene sense of calmness", Wu's inspiration was reflected in the color palate of the collection. Light blues, sun-bleached neutrals, charcoal and navy, made up most of the collection, while an unexpected peach suit revived the enthusiastic with a desire for color.
VLOV is a wearable collection for the professional man that is unafraid of allowing his personality to shine through.

Marble plaque showing parturition scene, Ostia, Italy, 400 BCE-300 CE
This marble plaque depicts a 'parturition', or birthing scene. Such scenes eased the fears of expectant mothers by depicting positive birthing images. During this time, midwives were female. Men were not present at births unless a doctor was required in the case of a high status mother. Here, a woman reclines on a couch covered in drapes, attended by three women. They are dressed in classical Roman robes and one is holding the baby. The plaque was excavated at Ostia, Italy.

A Formula Ferrari day in Maranello
Maranello 8th May вҖ" Today more than 250 journalist from 34 different countries visited the Maranello factory for the Formula Ferrari Press event. Media representatives from as far afield as Japan, Indonesia and the Middle East joined more local journalists from Europe, representing a range of magazines, newspapers and TV stations.
The group, on Tuesday, first visited the new Ferrari Store which has just re-opened opposite the factory. The store has been transformed and the guests were able to enjoy the floor space increased to 650 square meters and a new concept designed to give customers an experience of the Ferrari world.
Later the group visited the Ferrari Museum to see the new exhibition of вҖңFerrariвҖҷs from another worldвҖқ exhibition showcasing never before seen вҖңMulotypesвҖқ – machines used to test new technology and develop new models. They also experienced the exhibition about the new La Ferrari.
Today the groups enjoyed an extensive tour of the factory including the Taylor Made department, V12 vehicle production line, the Classiche department and the new вӮ¬40 million engine plant.
The group also enjoyed presentations about the sustainability of the company, its products and processes and the importance placed on developing the workforce of 2,900 people who work at Maranello.
They then attended a Press Conference where they sat on designer chairs made from recycled cardboard – to further emphasize the importance Ferrari places on sustainability.
Ferrari CEO, Amendo Felisa, addressed the journalists to explain the innovations and developments in Ferrari recently. He focused on the effort and investment that has gone into research and development in order to reduce C02 emissions while still be able to increase power and drivability.
Luca di Montezemolo welcomed the guests reiterating the importance of the companies key asset вҖ" the work force. He also announced the creation of 250 new jobs in Italy this year. He explained the current turn over by region and the way the market was being targeted towards 2017.
He concluded by announcing the first quarter results for 2013 with 1,798 road car sales, a 42% increase in trading profits and a 36.5% increase in net profits.

Customizing Standard Wrappers
This topic describes the processes you use to customize standard runtime callable wrappers and COM callable wrappers.
Runtime Callable Wrappers
When a .NET client activates a COM object, the runtime generates an instance of the runtime callable wrapper (RCW) to wrap the COM type. As the following illustration shows, the runtime uses metadata obtained from an imported COM type library to generate the RCW. The wrapper marshals data according to the rules established by the interop marshaling service.
RCW generation and method calls
There are two ways to customize an RCW. If you can modify the Interface Definition Language (IDL) source, you can apply type library file (TLB) attributes and import the type library. Alternatively, you can apply interop-specific attributes to imported types and generate a new assembly. Support for customizing standard RCWs is limited by these attributes. For instructions, see How to: Customize Runtime Callable Wrappers.
COM Callable Wrappers
A COM callable wrapper (CCW) exposes .NET Framework objects to COM. By compiling a managed project into an assembly DLL, you automatically create the metadata required to describe each type in the assembly. The runtime uses this metadata to generate a CCW whenever a COM client activates managed object.
To customize a CCW, apply interop-specific attributes to your managed source code and compile the source into an assembly, as shown in the following illustration. In this example, Tlbexp.exe converts managed types to COM.
CCW generation and method calls
By applying attributes to your code, you can alter interface and data marshaling behavior within the confines of the interop marshaling service. For example, you can control the format of the data passed as an argument to a method. You can also control which types in an assembly are exposed to COM.

Who is your dealer?
Roc on supplys in Lloydminster,Alberta and they deal with Northern fireplace in Edmonton. I am just waiting for this new board hoping it will solve these issues. I love the look of the stove and if it would do what they told me I would be very happy. Oh one more thing when i had it working with whaet at the start I noticed the clink would get stuck in the pot then overfeed and not start. Is this normal? They told me it would self clean and I know it is cleaning well with the pellets now even if it is set for corn.
No thats not the way it is suppose to work. My dealer has been trying different fuels through the insert they have on display and have not had any issues. He is the only other one I know of that has tried wheat. I was there Friday and they said they had not cleaned the unit is 3 weeks. The ash in the pot area was up above the firepot. The ash pan was full. But if you have issues running it on wheat Quad needs to know. They have found that they needed to change their boards after the stove came out due to the variations in the types of corn. They may have the same issues with wheat.
Are you burning on manual or automatic?
tried both but really over feed on Auto but manual seemed to work some. wish I could burn it again but unable to even use man now...just overfeeds and won't speed the exhaust fan up.
So at this point does it work at all?
Yes it is runing using prem wood pellets but set for corn....seems to be working good.. This is the only setting that will work of any fuels or settings
I just repaired a SantaFe-B that was over feeding and swapping the clear control module fixed the problem. Is that the part you replaced? The AE might not even have that I guess, I have not had to repair one of those yet.
New Board in and quad is running hot!!!! Hoooorayy! It has only been a few hours but looks good so far! Started on wood pellets for a day.....alll went well then switched to wheat tonight and so far seems to be more pot air and hot! had flame at -4 for pellets nut think I will increase for wheat..... My dealer never came out I just replaced myself. this is the 3rd board and I hope the last......Any more updates I hope is just usb and to add barley oats and rye to fuel options. Can't wait...Sure hope this works.....!
Well the stove is burning the Wheat good but failing to drop the clinker and clean. then of course dumps more wheat on top wasting good wheat and eventually jamming the auger. Any Ideas out there? The pot opens properly but it doesn't clean as the clinker sticks to the side of the pot.
scrape the clinkers out....
Go to page 25 of your manual. Section 10.B
3. Cleaning Firepot with Firepot Scraper
• Frequency: As needed
• By: Homeowner
• Task:
a. The appliance must be in complete shutdown and cool
and the exhaust blower off.
b. It may be necessary to use your fi repot scraper to
chip away material that has built up on the sides of the
fi repot and to push out any clinkers. Larger clinkers
may have to be removed from the top of the fi repot.
Corn clinkers can be especially diffi cult to break up.
c. After scraping the fi repot and inspecting the holes, turn
off the power and then restore the power. The auto
clean system will then clean itself.
d. The firepot floor plate must be fully closed when
fi nished.
i am getting more depressed every response i read.no one seems how to repair or trouble shoot these stoves.how do the dealers get away with this?
Hey JTP I know how to clean the pot as the manual says but it doesn't say I would have to clean it manualy every time it cleans. This of course means that I bought a stove that will not operate over night and that is not what was sold to me. New board is in and it is working .....But the issue now is clinker ALWAYS getting stuck in firepot.......stove seems to need a full time baby sitter..Maybe I should use Pam on it??? not sure if a hotter shorter burn with quicker clean is better or longer burn but that would give me more of a clinker I think????

Hamid Karzai, 2002 News
Afghan politician, was elected interim president in a landslide during June's loya jirga, or grand council, of 1,500 delegates. He'll serve until general elections in 2004. He promptly assembled a cabinet, selecting representatives from Afghanistan's many ethnic groups. Karzai's enormous popularity in the West led to the infusion of both financial assistance and troops to the war-ravaged country. However, his grasp on power within the country remains somewhat tenuous, with warlords maintaining tight regional control. He narrowly averted an assassination attempt in September.

After prep splash, Crew pivots to experience, arms
MILWAUKEE -- After swinging for the fences with three straight high school picks to start the Draft, the Brewers' focus shifted to college players and pitchers throughout the final two days of the 2014 First-Year Player Draft.
The Brewers made a splash on the first day of the Draft, selecting three prep players with high ceilings. It began with left-handed hurler Kodi Medeiros from Hawaii's Waiakea High School at No. 12. The Brewers then used pick No. 41 to take California prep shortstop Jacob Gatewood and pick No. 50 to select Monte Harrison from Lee's Summit West High School in Missouri.
"We're in a position to say that we're very, very close with those players, and we're happy that they're going to be in a Brewer uniform," amateur scouting director Bruce Seid said. "At the same time, we still have a few things to get done."
Those things would presumably include discussions with the other 39 players the Brewers drafted over the three-day event. After three high-schoolers on Day 1, Milwaukee dipped into the pool of college talent for seven of the team's next nine selections.
MLB.com analysts Jonathan Mayo and Jim Callis speculated Milwaukee shifted its philosophy knowing that it would have to pay more than the allotted slot money for Gatewood and Harrison. Seid acknowledged that the limits set by the Draft system played into the team's strategy.
"You have to be cognizant of what you feel you're going to spend, based on the system and how much you're able to allot for your top players, so from that standpoint, we did our homework," Seid said. "At the same time, the players we got in the top 10 rounds, and several beyond that, we took with the idea that they could be Major League Baseball players."
Seid pointed out that several Brewers, including second baseman Scooter Gennett and pitcher Mike Fiers, came from the third day of the Draft and went on to big-league success.
The eight picks the Crew made on Day 2 were split evenly between pitchers and position players, highlighted by third-round right-hander Cy Sneed out of Dallas Baptist University, who analysts say might project as a reliever, and fourth-round Maryland prep outfielder Troy Stokes, a prototypical center fielder and leadoff hitter. On the Draft's final day, Milwaukee went heavy on pitching, using 22 of its final 30 picks on hurlers. All but one of the Brewers' picks between rounds 21 and 35 were used on pitchers. The trend was broken up at the end, when Milwaukee used four of the last five picks on high school position players.
"We did due diligence early on in the Draft today in trying to identify some tools, some arms," Seid said. "It got to a point where some of the players became maybe one-tool type guys toward the end, but we did everything we can to continue to make great picks."
Perhaps the team's most intriguing pick of Day 3 was Jordan Yamamoto of Hawaii's Saint Louis School. The right-hander threw a complete-game two-hit shutout against the Brewers' top pick, Medeiros, in Hawaii's state playoffs this year. Reports say more than two dozen scouts were in attendance at the matchup.
Seid also highlighted 11th-round pick Brandon Woodruff out of Mississippi State, who he said has a great arm but was sometimes inconsistent.
In all, the Brewers selected 27 pitchers and 14 position players. It was a slight shift from last year, when Milwaukee selected 23 pitchers. Twenty-three of Milwaukee's 41 picks were selected out of college.
At the end of three long days of drafting, Seid sounded extremely content with the Brewers' new crop of talent.
"I feel good with the way things went," Seid said. "The staff and I are happy with the results at this point. Like every year, you walk out of your Draft room feeling that you've done something good."

The first cases of what would come to be known as AIDS were diagnosed on June 5, 1981 in Los Angeles, California. The disease was initially known as GRID (Gay-Related Immune Deficiency) since it was initially detected in men who have sex with men. Scientists later found evidence that the disease existed in the world for some years prior through subsequent analysis of a blood sample of a man who died of an unidentified illness in the Congo in 1959, making him the first confirmed case of an HIV infection.
Today, HIV/AIDS is the largest pandemic in human history. This section explores the statistics of that pandemic from the global perspective, all the way down to the impact in our own community.

With an early start brought on by an 8:00am pool breakfast and a 9:00am rider's meeting, competitors filtered onto the event site, ready to begin the first day with full motivation, high spirits and enthusiasm. As wind proved to be strong enough for freestyle action, all competitors prepared their material. At this first day, freestyle gained priority, with the possibility of racing later in the day
The wind blew in a range of 15 - 22 knots. At this point, spanish onlookers, tourists and local people from Castelldefels watched as the talented competitors performed at their highest abilities until late in the afternoon.
With good wind pretty, excitement high, and the riding at its peak, the MINI KTE was able to run full freestyle single eliminations and one race in the afternoon.
Riders such as Johnno Scholte (NED) and Patrick Blanc (ESP) advanced early on into the double elimination. In particular, top favorite Mario Rodwald (GER) and Stefan Spiessberger (AUT) performed well as well ; speed and power in the majority of their maneuvers during the final heat.
Meanwhile in the girls division, german rider Sabrina Lutz (GER) wasn't on her A-game today, lost her heat #23 against Annelous Lammerts (NED) but won in the looser final against Kelly Schouten (NED).
The women's final, Lammerts (NED) versus Therese Taabbel (DEN) was a an exciting heat, too. In the later afternoon, riders struggled with wavy and less wind conditions, making it even more challenging to gain big points.
After the men's final, all racers were ready for their moment on the water. With wind measuring 15-18 knots, the stage was set for an exciting first day of Course Racing. Top competitors such as Riccardo Leccesse (COL) and Adam Koch (USA) as well as Flo Gruber (GER) and Olli Bridge (GBR) stood out as a few racing favorits, while Maxime Nocher (FRA) also looked to hold his own and make it to the front of the pack.
After the first race, the sunset began already to start up and the day finished under a dark-orange light. The final results of the single elimination finals and of the first race will be published tomorrow morning.
Stay tuned and looked forward to 9am skippers meeting to get know, who'll be the winners of the single eliminations finals ?
For the second day, Course Racings are likely to run in the morning with freestyle in the afternoon, when wind conditions permit. Our livestream by SPOTFAV will be available online to fans and followers.

The Reds have become very conservative in their player development, promoting prospects only when they almost have no other choice. Wood has been so dominant at double-A that he is certainly ready for a new challenge.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Bryant's Travis Wood has been promoted to the Cincinnati Reds' Class AAA affiliate, the Louisville Bats of the International League, amidst a dominating season for the Class AA Carolina Mudcats.
According to Wood's parents Jay and Dena Wood, he will make his AAA debut at Syracuse on Saturday at 7 p.m. The lefty was told last week would be his last at Carolina but made one more start before the promotion.
Class AAA is one notch below the Major Leagues.
A Bryant High School graduate and former Hornet and Bryant Black Sox star, Wood was selected by the Reds in the June 2005 draft.
This season, he's posted a 9-3 record with a 1.21 earned run average in 19 starts, covering 119 innings. He's allowed just 78 hits and 37 walks while striking out 103. Opponents are hitting just .189 against him. He was also the starting pitcher for the North All-Stars in the Southern League All-Star game in Birmingham, Ala., recently.
In leading the league in ERA, the next lowest mark is 2.70. His nine wins in consecutive decisions set a new Mudcats franchise record. Nine wins is tied for most in the league. His strikeout mark is tops in the league and his innings pitched is tied for most. He also has the league's best WHIP (Walks + hits per innings pitched) at 0.97.
At Louisville, Wood joins a team that leads the Western Division of the International League by 9 1/2 games.

Phoenix Computer Training
I'm a certified Adobe Expert and Instructor and an instructor in MS Office. I've created a successful niche for my business – I teach one on one, traveling to my clients' offices to help them solve specific problems on real projects. I love working with folks and have a great rapport with my clients, from technical professionals to church group leaders on a mission. They know they can trust me to get them through a tough project efficiently, and that we'll actually have fun doing it! My clients say that I'm friendly, helpful, patient, flexible and very knowledgeable. I see myself as a provider of solutions and an enabler – when a training session is over, my clients know how to do what they need to do.
I'll be redoing my website soon and would like to start with a logo design that establishes my new look and feel. Here's what I'd like to convey: a sense of solidity and confidence (as one of few certified Adobe Photoshop Experts I know my stuff), lightened with a mix of friendliness and ease. Assured. Inviting.
I have credit for 3 photos at Shutterstock.
Primarily professionals, ranging from architects to small business owners to social agency and technical pro's who need to learn Photoshop, InDesign or Microsoft Office.
Logo may be a type mark or employ an icon, depending on your concept. If you want to play with the image of the Phoenix (my clients rising above their old limitations with new found skills!) then go ahead – but it's not a necessary ingredient. With a font solid enough to convey professional competence, you can bring in a spot of whimsy, in color choice and/or a design element. Colors should echo the theme of friendly and inviting mixed with professionalism. So more complex than primary, and a base color that conveys trust to business (shade of blue) while remaining inviting to the non-business person.
I would like a logo that shows what my company does - computer training.
You can check out my website to discover more about me and to get a feel for the copy tone I'm using.
I've kept the website design completely neutral at this point, so as not to steer you one way or the other - I'd like you to have fun and be creative. When I have your great logo in hand, I'll run a contest for website design. Enjoy. Thanks!

The one reform of the initiative process that seems to have traction is a requirement that any initiative that demands the spending of money or the cutting of taxes must identify a source to pay for itself. Since California voters have used the initiative process to make the budget deficit bigger (including by an estimated $2 billion in November 2010 elections), some restraint seemed to make sense.
A constitutional amendment to do this has been gathering momentum in the legislature. But now come two leading voices -- consumer activist Harvey Rosenfeld from the left, and Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Assn. president Jon Coupal from the right -- to make the case that such a restraint would be used by legislators and governors to disqualify any initiative they don't like. They make the case at the Flash Report.
What Coupal and Rosenfeld don't tell you -- and don't address, to the detriment of their argument -- is that the initiative process in California is far more inflexible than in any other place on earth. Other countries and states force the process to live within the budget -- and to abide by the rules of legislation. But they suggest that attempts to make the California process more integrated with the budget and legislative systems are really attemps to limit the popular will.
U.S. & World
There's another way to look at this: that the inflexible initiative process has been used to rob Californians of democratic power by locking up decisions on taxes, spending and regulation that can't be changed -- except by people with access to the millions and millions of dollars necessary to qualify initiatives and pursue campaigns. People such as, for example, Rosenfeld and Coupal.


text: When it comes to pets, most people are content keeping traditional cats and dogs while others desire animals with a more exotic flair. Pet stores and online vendors offer the potential exotic pet owner an abundance of wildlife, ranging from parrots and marmosets to cobras and scorpions. Sadly, many recipients of exotic wildlife are unaware that their purchases may support a trade that is often illegal, inhumane, or detrimental to wild populations. It may come as a surprise to many that the United States is one of the largest importers of live animals in the world with over one billion live animals imported since the year 2000. Various regulatory agencies strive to control this trade. The US Fish and Wildlife Service is responsible for enforcing not only its own internal regulations but also those regulations that fall under the auspices of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). In addition, the U.S. Public Health Service and the U.S. Department of Agriculture enforce various aspects of live animal importations that seek to prevent the introduction and spread of emerging diseases that affect the health of both humans and domestic livestock. Imports of pet Bell's Hingeback Tortoise's were banned when tortoise borne ticks were found to contain Heartwater Disease, a serious threat for wild and domestic ruminants. In 2003 African Monkey Pox was introduced when shipments of Gambian Pouched Rats, destined for the pet trade, were imported into this country. The scale of the global wildlife trade, both legal and illegal is staggering. It has been estimated that the illegal wildlife trade ranks just behind the trade in illegal arms and narcotics in terms of scope and finances. Earlier this year, 54 critically endangered Madagascar Plowshare tortoises were confiscated by authorities in Thailand. Destined for the high-end illegal pet trade, an adult tortoise of this species might sell for $50,000 - this one shipment represented approximately 10 percent of the world's remaining population of plowshare tortoises. A plowshare tortoise. For those who still wish to maintain non-traditional pets, know that these non-traditional pets require a substantial commitment. The desire to own an exotic pet often clouds ones judgment. Rescue groups are overflowing with unwanted parrots and other exotic animals, relinquished because former owners underestimated the time, money, and commitment it requires to adequately maintain these animals within their homes. In many cases exotic pet owners, ignorant of state or local laws that prohibit the keeping of certain species, have had their animals seized by law enforcement or been forced to surrender them. Responsible and successful maintenance of an exotic pet requires careful sourcing along with substantial research, finances, time commitment, and an honest discussion as to one's ability to meet the requirements, both physical and psychological, of the species in question.

Shotguns. They're for when you really, really hate an enemy. Nothing's better than walking right up to annoying thugs and blasting their faces, chests and limbs wide open. Or maybe that's just me.
This latest video from Rockstar Games' upcoming noir shooter showcases the buckshot-spewing weapons that you'll be deploying in close quarters down in Brazil. Dual-wielding two sawed-offs in slo-mo bullet-time? Far more satisfying as than sitting next to your mom while she drives you to school, even if you do get to pick radio stations.

Sir Paul McCartney turned grunge rocker on Wednesday night as he fronted a reunited Nirvana with drummer Dave Grohl and bassist Krist Novoselic during the finale at the epic 12-12-12 Concert for Sandy Relief gig in New York.
The rock legend was the last of the big names to perform at the star-studded Madison Square Garden show and eased the crowd into his set with his songs Helter Skelter, Let Me Roll It, Blackbird and My Valentine, for which he was joined on piano by jazz musician Diana Krall.
He then introduced Grohl and Novoselic to the spotlight for the moment Nirvana fans had all been waiting for - the grunge stars' first performance together in almost 20 years - and they debuted a new track which had never before been performed in public.
News of McCartney's involvement with the surviving Nirvana bandmates surfaced early on Wednesday after he revealed Grohl had invited him to "jam with some mates", but the former Beatle had no idea he was stepping in for tragic frontman Kurt Cobain, who committed suicide in 1994.
However, the Nirvana reunion was short lived - after the song premiere, McCartney returned to his Beatles track I've Got A Feeling and Wings hit Live and Let Die.
But the veteran had one more surprise in store for fans and closed the show with Alicia Keys performing her chart smash, the unofficial Big Apple anthem Empire State of Mind, as he was joined by members of the New York Fire Department and first responders of superstorm Sandy.
McCartney wasn't the only performer to stage unexpected collaborations - beloved New Jersey natives Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi got the mega show off to a rocking start with a rousing rendition of Born to Run.
The rockers teamed up again shortly afterwards during Bon Jovi's set to play Who Says You Can't Go Home.
Pink Floyd singer Roger Waters duetted with Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder on the classic Comfortably Numb, and Chris Martin made his mark by uniting with Michael Stipe for a stripped down version of his former band R.E.M.'s tune Losing My Religion.
After the rare performance, Martin quipped, "He (Stipe) came out of retirement for that and just went right back in!" The line-up for the massive benefit gig read like a who's who of rock 'n' roll legends - Billy Joel, the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and The Who also hit the stage, and each act took a moment to pay tribute to the victims of the natural disaster, which devastated America's East Coast when it struck in late October.
Springsteen sent a special prayer to those hardest hit by the superstorm, while Jon Bon Jovi encouraged fans and viewers to donate to the cause, saying "When this storm hit, we all knew that healing process would begin, but it would take a long time. This recovery is not gonna (going to) be quick, it's gonna take a while, and so we need your support, your economic support and your sweat and your hearts and your prayers because this is gonna go on but we are strong, we are New York, we are New Jersey; this is our people, this is our crowd".
Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger added a more light-hearted tone to the event, with the Brit telling the audience "We're so glad to be part of this event tonight. It's also wonderful to see... this has got to be the largest collection of old English musicians ever assembled in Madison Square Garden! But I just wanna say, it's great helping this, but if it rains in London, you gotta come and help us, OK?"
Actor Adam Sandler also injected a little comedy into the bash, singing a reworked version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, which included the lyrics "Hallelujah, Sandy screw ya, We'll get through ya 'cause we're New Yorkers".
Rapper Kanye West and R&B star Keys also played solo sets as part of the line-up.
The show featured a long list of guest presenters, including Billy Crystal, Quentin Tarantino, Jamie Foxx, Katie Holmes, Kristen Stewart, Steve Buscemi, Jake Gyllenhaal, Blake Lively, Olivia Wilde and rap mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs.
A slew of celebrities turned up to man the phones and take donations from generous viewers, such as Susan Sarandon, Ben Stiller, Whoopi Goldberg, Jeremy Piven, Martha Stewart, Gina Gershon, and the reunited cast of The Sopranos.
The 12-12-12 Concert for Sandy Relief, which ran for almost six hours, raised money for Robin Hood Relief Fund and was broadcast live on TV and online across the world to an estimated 2 billion people.

After I got home with Hybridzilla last night, I sprayed the drivetrain off with my water bottle and wiped it dry. I let it sit to finish drying a bit. Before I went to bed, I re-lubed the chain, brought it inside, and turned in for the night. This was around 10:30 or so.
At about 11:45, I was sound asleep, and was awakened with BANG!!!! HISSSSSSSSSSSSSssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss... Followed by a ton of clatter, banging, and god knows what else. I figured my bike's tire had popped and the bike itself may have fallen over. The bike was still upright, but the noise had to have awakened the dead.
It turns out that the cats have a certain aversion to loud hissing noises. My cats don't even like this hiss of the floor pump as I pull it off the stem after topping off my tires, so this noise scared the hell out of them both. As it turns out, my youngest cat was asleep on one of those 5' tall cat posts with a nest at the top. She launched from it with enough force to knock it over, then proceeded to jump up on the counter in the kitchen and knock almost everything over in an attempt to find some kind of shelter from whatever doom she feared would come of the failed bike tire. This made a considerable mess (okay, only spilled water from a knocked-over drinking container but still).
So, I spent the next 30 minutes cleaning up messes and putting a new tube in Hybridzilla. The Schrader valve actually had a blowout at the base of the stem. I'd never seen that before. This is an old tube with 5 patches on it (including 3 park tool glueless) that had been filled, refilled, and moved between rims more times than I could count. There's no patching a stem, though. It had a good life and served me well. Remember what I had said about how much of a pain it is to work on these SlickCity tires? Well I had to do it all over again, this time using my only spare 26" tube. This is a new one I bought about a year ago that's never been used. I've had really good luck with all of my knobby tires, as I've never, ever flatted with knobbies. The SlickCity tires do pick up goat-heads and glass and they're getting kind of thin, hence the number of patches in the one tube.
My heart was still pounding and adrenaline still pumping when I lay back down to go to bed again. It took a while to calm down and fall asleep. I'd pay for that this morning. My alarm went off at 5:00 but I turned it off and passed out again. Fortunately, my wife woke me up with 15 minutes to get ready and out the door. Without time for breakfast, I grabbed a few bananas and packed them with my clothes.
I was greeted this morning with really nice temperatures, but crazy humidity in combination with rainwater already on the road. To match the humidity, wind out of the south was at a static 25 MPH with gusts well into the 30's. Not fun at all. Combined with a start that was 5 minutes behind schedule, I barely made it to the bus stop on time.
I needed the coffee this morning, badly. Lorin, JR and I talked bike shop and discussed the various people who were "admiring" our bikes.
So, how was YOUR morning?
Random Tunage:
Binary Finary - Freshwater (Jose Amnesia Mix)
Binary Finary - Decoder
Okay, this is NOT random tunage. This is an album that's about 2 years old that I just found out about, and it's awesome. Binary Finary, about a decade ago, put out a track called 1998. It was awesome and got remixed into oblivion (and subsequently named 1999, 2000, etc), and many of those remixes were usually good. They were included on many Electronic music compilations. As such, that's all they ever did, was that one song and a few remixes of it... or so we thought. This album has a bunch of other stuff from them. It's basically the missing album I was looking forward to buying a decade ago. And now I have it.

Waking the dead at midnight
After I got home with Hybridzilla last night, I sprayed the drivetrain off with my water bottle and wiped it dry. I let it sit to finish drying a bit. Before I went to bed, I re-lubed the chain, brought it inside, and turned in for the night. This was around 10:30 or so.

I watch very little tv, and coincidently a show on PBS that I do watch is, "Waking the Dead".
It's an English version of a cop show like "NYPD Blue".

Yes, but is it on at Midnight? Or is it simply satisfactory that your pen name is A Midnight Rider?

I hope your wife is able to keep her job. I lost mine Friday, so I probably won't be meeting you guys downtown any more. On the other hand, my Monday nights are free and that ride you write about that leaves from the Mexican restaurant sounds like fun.

Ouch. That sucks. I will probably be out at the ride tonight. Maybe you can find something a bit closer to home. God knows the world needs editors.

The wind has been pretty nuts around here too. I wonder what's up with that.
My dog is afraid when I pump up my tires, too, but he's afraid of damn near everything.

Hi, Dr Lachmann has answered all the FAQs sent to him some time ago.
Because I have been so busy I forgot to close this thread so I have asked Dr Lachmann if he can answer the question from 'Dublin Mother' as I feel it's a very good one.
I'll post back with details of the question asked by DM

Quality Of Life Sports and Therapeutic Massage Inc. Tag Line: Results Oriented Massage Therapy
I am a Licensed Massage Therapist. When I began my business my biggest concern was that I was not perceived as Masseuse, or concentrated on "fluff" spa services. There is also a public perception that people in my business aren't serious professionals...I felt it was time to change that. When I am speaking at an event, or networking at chambers etc...I wear a coat and tie, when I work I wear khakis and polo shirt with my logo, I never wear scrubs.
I spend somewhere between $5000.00 and $7500.00 per year continuing to educate myself in the higher level modalities which bring REAL healing to people in pain, with injuries, restrictions, or who want to just continue to be active. I believe that the ability to move, ambulate, be mobile is a huge part of positive mindset and quality of life. So, while I do practice regular massage modalities, I focus on the sports, orthopedic, medical side of it. Having said that, I want the public to know that all of this training and focus makes my regular relaxation massage that much better!
I am an athlete myself, I cycle, run marathons, tri-athlons etc...so I can relate to the physical and mental demands placed on the body by high performing people. I also love the relationships I develop with my clients. I love getting to know them, sharing their victories, personla records, goals etc, it all helps me to be tuned in to their needs.
My target audience is:
Weekend Warriors: Those folks who work regular jobs, but for whom sports is an opportunity to challenge themselves against their own personal records or times. Tri-athletes, marathoners, ultra-distance runners, cyclists, golfers, tennis players, coaches.
Active Elderly: Those senior citizens who are attempting to remain active through golf, working out, any of the above sports, to gardening, walking, yoga etc
Professional athletes: I already treat some pro athletes in the Houston area. Mainly these people are looking to remain injury free, or keep any kind of edge in their performance
People in Pain: This can be anyone who has repetitive motion injuries due to work, Thoracic Outlet Syndrone, Carpal , etc...I have tests I do to isolate and diagnose the issue , create a plan of treatment and get them on the way to healing.
Stressed out People: These are the run of the mill complaints, tight shoulders, neck pain, crick in the neck, headaches etc...
MMA: The mixed martial arts world is a new market I am breaking into. There are at least 50 schools in the immediate area that have athletes training for bouts at any given time, being stretched, and staying flexible and injury free, as well as recovering quickly between competitions are extremely important.
Allright...I have been using Q.O.L. to shorten Quality of Life, but I am not opposed to using the entire spelling either. Let me first tell you what I do not want. I do not want hands, birds, auras, soft glowing lights, angels, asian symbols, etc...it's all been done and it does not fit what I am going after.
I want to convey professionalism, competency, results, fun, movement, and high performance. I think bodies in motion are also over done, but if you have something really original I will certainly consider it. I am not opposed to something fun to get the point accross as well. There used to be a massage practice in town called "Blue Monkey Massage" (this company is gone now) and the website said a really great massage is hard to find and as elusive as finding a blue monkey in the jungles of Mexico, but the owner did provide that rare experience. I already have the name, but if the timing were right I wouldn't have minded a blue monkey swinging from the QOL and I could have explained it in the website and print material. I'm not saying to do exactly that, rather I am illustrating that I am open to some whimsical fun design that would allow me to say "Hey this is different...there mediocre therapists, and this is really different...this is GREAT" Having said that, I'd like to see a traditionally professional design and one that is more fun and whimsical.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10 (UPI) -- CNN talk show host Piers Morgan said Thursday that he wants to help keep the debate on gun control alive in the United States.
In an interview on the CBS show "This Morning," Morgan explained why "Guns in America" has been the major theme on "Piers Morgan Tonight."
"How many more kids have to die, before you guys say, 'We want less guns, not more?'" he asked.
Morgan is a British citizen whose career has included a stint as the editor of the now-defunct Sunday tabloid News of the World. He was fired from the Daily Mirror after running photographs of British soldiers abusing Iraqis that turned out to be fake.
His position on gun control has earned him a petition on a White House site calling for his deportation. More than 100,000 people have signed it.
Morgan said that after the 2011 mass shooting in Tucson, Ariz., that killed six people and critically injured then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., there was a "week of horror and mourning" and then the killings faded away. But he said the deaths of 20 children and six staff members at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in December might be a "tipping point."
The kind of strict controls imposed in Britain after the 1996 Dunblane school massacre in Scotland might not win support in the United States, Morgan said. He also said he respects U.S. citizens' right to protect themselves in their homes.
"This debate must be heard loud and clear," he said, adding, "I just don't believe that the majority of decent civilized Americans do not share my view that something has to give."

DD Doula is owned and operated by Deena Danielson, a native of Clear Lake, Wisconsin. After high school, Deena joined the Army Reserves and lived on the east coast for a bit. That was enough for wanderlust to kick in.
Deena lived all over Wisconsin including Barron, Janesville, and Green Bay before moving to Chicago. After several years in the city (and several bitter cold winters), Deena craved a change and moved to hot and sunny Austin, Texas.
While living in Austin, Deena met her husband Brandon. When Deena was pregnant with their first child she felt a bit overwhelmed. Deena realized that she knew close to nothing about childbirth and breastfeeding. It had been fifteen years since she was around a newborn for more than a couple minutes. Deena met several obstetricians, midwives, and doulas. She went to mom's groups, conferences, and workshops. Deena immersed herself in everything about childbirth. It was a whole new world!
In October 2012, Brandon and Deena had an amazing home birth and welcomed Evie into their lives. Deena was hooked on birth and convicted to help other mothers have the birth they desired. Deena developed a passion for birth and pregnancy. She did lots of research on birth and even had a local birth blog.
Deena was active in the Austin birth community and helped support several friends throughout their pregnancy and birth. She pursued education and studied to become a doula. At the time, Deena chose not to do doula work full time and focus on raising their daughter.
As their family grew, so did Austin. When Brandon and Deena planned to have a second child, they decided to leave the bustling and crowded city and move to the Clear Lake area to raise their family surrounded by family.
The Danielson family currently resides in Amery and welcomed their second daughter, Emmy in May of 2015. While on maternity leave, Deena decided the time was right to pursue birth work full time and started DD Doula Birth Services.
Deena is honored to serve the Amery area and greater Northwestern Wisconsin. As the premier birth service of Polk County, she is proud to always be adding to her services to better support her hometown community. Deena is currently expanding your birth knowledge by pursuing several certifications through ProDoula. She is also studying to become a certified lactation counselor and pursuing certification through the International Board of Certified Lactation Consultants.
When Deena is not absorbed in birth related books--she enjoys cooking, sewing, and being outdoors. She is often found at home playing with glitter, finger paints, and homemade play dough with her daughters. If she can get a sitter (hint-hint mom), Deena enjoys a good sushi date with her husband, Brandon. Deena also has a somewhat unhealthy obsession with Doctor Who, The Walking Dead, and Game of Thrones. She loves being "back home" and does local volunteer work with her dad and uncle supporting the local food shelf and volunteer fire department.

One of my repeat clients works for the Torrance PD and came to me with a request for a very special project. One of her officers passed away, and a motorcycle officer from the Hawthorne Police Dept., while performing traffic control for that funeral procession, was involved in an accident and killed. Such a terrible and unimaginable tragedy. My client asked me to put together four dozen cookies to send over to the Hawthorne PD as a small token to express their deepest sympathies. Here is what we came up with to pay tribute to Officer Andrew Garton, #333.
In memoriam.
Police shield detail.
Client requests: Shields, cuffs and guns.
Handcuff detail - rivets and chain.

Give big, gardeners
With apologies to Oprah, every garden is a big give.
Tonight I came home to this on my front porch.
The tomato plants came from a retired couple that I met on my town's bike trail. They have gotten to know me and my big husky over the years, and every year around this time, Lou comes through with a couple of tomato plants. Sometimes Brandywines, sometimes cherries, this year a couple of patios. They often come with a lovely note and they ALWAYS come with biscuits for the dogs. This year, this gift is extra sweet, because Lou and Buddy and I haven't run into each other in months. Buddy has had some skin surgery that has kept him out of the sun and Lou has had surgery herself, and the last time we met on the bike trail, she said she hadn't had time to seed any tomatoes. So I now have a burning need to get my own floppy seedlings securely potted in deeper containers so I can take a Brandywine over to Lou and Buddy.
Last year the gift tomatoes had to compete for space and light with the Zucchini That Ate St. Louis, so the yield was small, but oh, so delicious:
Without much time to preserve or even consume this bounty, I made a very small batch of tomato jam (cinnamon, poblanos, a dash of brown sugar). As summer wore on, time became even shorter, and in September I started just smacking tomato halves drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with herbs onto a hot barbecue grill and then sliding them into freezer containers. That winter we had a lot of pizza parties, and we'd pile the tomatoes and some chevre and some basil on a pizza crust and call it dinner. And it was such a joy, such a gift, when my best friend made the happy-gourmet face over something I just pulled out of the freezer, something that came from my garden. But then, her husband had built me the gift of the raised beds in which I grew the tomatoes. My friend Julie helped me move the soil into them. My sister gave me the grill. And Bo the greedy biscuit-mooching husky secured for me the gift of Lou and Buddy's friendship, which might not have happened if the dog did not have a steel-trap memory for anyone who has ever fed him or if Buddy didn't have a soft spot for canine antics. Bo himself was a gift from my vet; my love of dogs, a gift from my parents. When I ponder all this I feel wrapped in a web of gifts as strong and eternal as the cycle from seed to plant to fruit to seed, blessed beyond belief.
And then I think, it's time to pay the universe back a little.
Plant a Row for the Hungry does just that. It connects food gardeners, who often produce more than they can use or give away, with food banks in their communities. In case you've been living under a flower pot lately, it's rough out there. People are losing jobs, losing homes, losing hope. Many food banks are seeing a 20 percent increase in community need — and a drop in donations or funding. That means they can't help people who need it.
So let's see, I can dedicate a row of peas and a row of chard, and … a fifth of whatever tomato/tomatillos get planted out. What are you willing to give? C'mon, Colorado, are you going to let ILLINOIS outshine you? Can you believe the pounds of produce those Cubs-loving flatlanders donated? (I have lots of relatives in the Land of Lincoln, including my Uncle Vernon, the heirloom tomato guru of Bloomington. And if you're reading, Uncle V., yes, it's a challenge.)
Tell me what you can give, and I'll keep a virtual tally here on this blog. There's not a lot we can do as individuals about food riots in Somalia, or the coming rice crisis in Myanmar. But we can do something about hunger where we live. We can get fresh produce to people who, without us, might have to make do on tinned tuna and canned soup in the midst of summer's bounty. We can tell them, "you deserve better than that, no matter why you're here." We can share our gardens' abundant gifts.
Tell me when you decide what you're going to donate, how your garden's producing and how many pounds you've got when you take it to your local food bank. To find out which institutions can accept fresh produce, ask your city administration; your church is another good source. Or start your own Plant a Row campaign if there isn't yet one in your community.
Dirt Dates: The Denver Botanic Gardens is having its annual Plant Sale starting Friday, May 9, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. (members only 8:30-10 a.m.) and Saturday, May 10 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. (members only 8:30-10 a.m.). Sayeth the Gardens: "The theme for the 2008 Sale is "Urban Nature" and will feature a variety of options on how to incorporate urban living into your own scenery, whether you have a small garden or no garden at all." More deets here.
Next weekend, it's Boulder County's Ginormous Plant Sale, Saturday and Sunday, May 17 and 18, 8:30-4 p.m. at the corner of Broadway and Iris in Boulder. The proceeds benefit Growing Gardens and the Master Gardener program of Boulder County. More here.
As you're driving around this month, keep an eye out for smaller plant sales at community colleges and co-ops. Sometimes they're not big or well-publicized; I stumbled on a tiny one just last weekend and vowed to return to nab some great-looking pepper plants in varieties I didn't seed this year. If you buy veggies from nonprofits, then donate some of your harvest, you keep the wheel of gifts turning two ways.

ALK is dropping the price of CoPilot Live North America from $35 down to $20, starting tomorrow. Since CoPilot was already our favorite non-subscription budget GPS app, this is nice to hear.
We're not sure when the sale ends—maybe ALK hasn't decided—but if you have at least a marginal interest in GPS apps for your iPhone or Android, it might be time to plunk down some cash for it. $20 ain't free, and CoPilot's looks sometimes verge on gaudy, but it's a competent, frequently updated app, and now a steal compared to even the cheapest subscription GPS app. [Android Version; iPhone Version; iTunes Link]
Update: This offer is extended until 9am Eastern Time on Tuesday, December 1st.
