Brown backs Troop Talent Act
For one U.S. legislator, he cannot believe a soldier who drives a truck in Iraq cannot transfer those skills automatically into a CDL in the United States.
He cannot believe a soldier who works on trucks and tanks cannot receive automatic certification to work on cars stateside.
He cannot believe a medic who worked to save a soldier's life during a military operation cannot easily transition into an EMT or paramedic certification in the country he devoted his life.
Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown recently voiced his support of the Troop Talent Act which helps soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan to more easily transition into the civilian work force.

Immigration Minister Chris Bowen won't rule out sending back to Sri Lanka any of the 56 Tamil asylum seekers who have agreed to drop a High Court challenge against their removal from Australia.
The group, in detention in Darwin, was due to have their case heard on Thursday.
At issue is the practice of "screening out", where asylum seekers are asked to explain why they came to Australia and the circumstances in their home country.
The federal government has agreed to let the group stay and have their claims processed either in Australia or offshore, subject to 24 hours notice of their involuntary return to Sri Lanka.
When asked if the government intended to return the Tamils, Mr Bowen told ABC Radio: "There will be a range of circumstances in place for those individuals.
"I won't go into those individual cases."
Mr Bowen defended the way some asylum seekers were being screened out, saying it was one of the mechanisms to deal with those people coming to Australia for "economic purposes".
"Yes, it's controversial but it's entirely appropriate," he said.
Opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison isn't impressed by the government's backdown.
"Once again lawyers are running the government's policy, not the government when it comes to asylum seekers," he told ABC radio.
Australian Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young says the interview process must be set out in law.
"I've been very concerned that this process is so informal, that there's no proper legal representation in these interviews," she told ABC radio.
Rather than assessing the claims to determine whether people were entitled to protection, the government had been more concerned with "the grubby, dirty politics in a competition with (Opposition Leader) Tony Abbott", she said.
Labor also was intent on giving the impression "hordes" of people were being returned to Sri Lanka, Senator Hanson-Young said.
She wants federal legislation to be changed to stop would-be refugees being returned to dangerous situations in their home countries.
Senator Hanson-Young noted about 600 Sri Lankan asylum seekers had already been returned by the government.
"We need to change the way these processes are being done so that people are not deported back to danger and so that we know we're not breaching our obligations to very genuine refugees," she told reporters in Canberra.
Senator Hanson-Young urged the government to properly assess asylum seekers before deciding to deport them.
"Everybody has the right, if you arrive in Australia, to seek asylum," she said.

SQL Server replication encompasses a set of capabilities that have yet to be fully replaced by other features found natively in SQL Server. Some of the common use cases include the ability to distribute data to separate SQL Server instances and databases for reporting and for offloading activity away from a primary production database. Replication can bring data nearer to the users in distributed environments and enable scaling out activity by multicasting to multiple destinations. And more controversially, some have even found a place for replication from a disaster recovery or high availability perspective. (For more information about this particular subject, see Paul S. Randal's blog post "In defense of transactional replication as an HA technology.")
Although the learning curve for replication can be intimidating, the successful use of replication comes down to understanding the components involved. The best way to gain this understanding is to practice basic deployments, then investigate the associated user schema modifications, metadata objects, SQL Server Agent jobs, and associated agent settings. To help you, I'll first briefly go over replication terminology and describe how the various components work together toward a solution. I'll then step you through a standard deployment of transactional replication, which is a common type of replication.
Related: Troubleshooting Transactional Replication
Understanding the Basics of Replication
There are different types of replication, so I'll start off describing the feature set at a high level. Replication is a bundling of technologies that enable you to copy, distribute, and synchronize specific types of database objects and their associated data and dependencies from one database to one or more databases on the same SQL Server instance or different SQL Server instances (which is more common). The SQL Server instance hosting the database from which you'll be distributing data is called the Publisher. Within a user database, you can define one or more publications, which are a logical bundling of one or more articles. An article is a specific object within the publication database that you want to distribute to another database. Some of the permitted article object types include user-defined tables, stored procedures, and views.
Replication requires a separate database to house both metadata and in-flight data. This database is called the distribution database, and the SQL Server instance that hosts it is called a Distributor. The Distributor can be the same instance as the Publisher, a separate SQL Server instance, or the instance where the data is being distributed to. The decision of where to place the distribution database isn't always consciously considered, but when it is, it's typically due to performance-overhead considerations or availability concerns (e.g., if transactional replication is used in conjunction with database mirroring).
The entity that receives the data from the Publisher is called the Subscriber. The Subscriber can be the same SQL Server instance as the Publisher, the same SQL Server instance as the Distributor, or a separate SQL Server instance altogether. A specific Subscriber is defined by adding a subscription to a specific publication. The subscriber database can contain both replicated and nonreplicated objects and can host more than one subscription from different publications.
A subscription can be defined as push (data is pushed to the subscription database from the Distributor) or pull (data is pulled to the subscription database from the Subscriber). Push subscriptions are more common with snapshot and transactional replication deployments. Pull subscriptions are more common with merge replication because the subscriber might be disconnected more frequently and might need to control when data is refreshed on-demand. The push/pull decision is sometimes also based on the capacity and overhead of the various servers participating in the replication topology.
External executables, which are called replication agents, move the data from the Publisher to the Distributor and then to the Subscriber. The type of replication agent is dependent upon the type of replication being used.
Choosing a Replication Type
There are three major types of replication: snapshot, transactional, and merge. There are also variations based on these, such as peer-to-peer replication, but I won't be elaborating on them here.
Snapshot replication lets you distribute data from a specific point in time. That snapshot is distributed, but it's not updated further by the replication process unless a new snapshot is created and applied again to the Subscriber. Snapshot replication is most commonly used to establish the article schema and associated data on the subscribers for transactional and merge replication.
Merge replication allows Subscribers to directly modify the subscription data (articles) and then synchronize the modified rows with the Publisher. As mentioned previously, the Subscribers might be offline for periods of time, reconnect periodically, and synchronize on-demand. At this point, their changes are synchronized with the Publisher and vice versa. This introduces the possibility of data conflicts, where a Publisher and one or more Subscribers attempt to modify the same set of data.
This last type of replication—and the one I'll be discussing from this point forward—is transactional replication. When architected properly, transactional replication can provide low-latency streaming of data modifications made at the Publisher to one or more Subscribers. Replicated data is typically treated as read-only on the Subscriber. Modifications to Subscriber data will cause the overall data set to get out of sync with the Publisher data. Transactional replication offers the now deprecated "updatable subscriptions" feature, which allows Subscribers to replicate data from the Subscriber back to the Publisher. Peer-to-peer replication (a SQL Server Enterprise edition feature) also allows bi-directional replication of data modifications of transactional replication databases.
Implementing Transactional Replication
Because this is an introduction to transactional replication, I'll show you how to use various SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) wizards to implement this functionality. (You can also use scripts. For more information, see the sidebar "Wizards or Scripts?")
Wizards or Scripts?
If you want to follow along, I suggest that you use an environment similar to the following:
- This demo uses two SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 instances on separate servers in the same domain. (Note that the Enterprise edition isn't a requirement.) Virtual servers are fine, assuming they're properly networked. Some figures will reference my test servers, which are named SQLSKILLS-NODE1 (Publisher and Distributor) and SQLSKILLS-NODE2 (Subscriber).
- Both SQL Server instances need the replication components installed. If you selected the SQL Server Replication option in the Feature Selection page when installing SQL Server, the replication components are installed. If you didn't select this option during installation, you can install the replication components separately.
- The Agent service must be started on the Publisher SQL Server instance.
- The test domain should ideally have a separate domain account for the Snapshot Agent, Log Reader Agent, and Distribution Agent processes. For example, I provisioned three accounts: SQLskills\SQLskillsSnapshotAGT, SQLskills\SQLskillsLogReaderAGT, and SQLskills\SQLskillsDistAGT.
- The subscription will be on a database named AWReporting.
The SQL Server 2008 R2 version of the AdventureWorks sample database will be used for the publication database. You're going to replicate the table definition and associated data from the following tables in the AdventureWorks database:
- [Person].[Address]
- [Person].[Contact]
- [Person].[CountryRegion]
- [Person].[StateProvince]
- [HumanResources].[Employee]
- [HumanResources].[EmployeeAddress]
In addition, you'll replicate the [HumanResources].[vEmployee] view definition. Although a view doesn't contain data, you can still replicate the object definition, assuming you've included all dependent objects in the publication.
Configuring the SQL Server Instance for Publication
Here are the steps to configure a SQL Server instance as a new Publisher:
1. Using SSMS, click the Connect drop-down box in Object Explorer (left pane) and select the SQL Server instance that will be the Publisher and Distributor.
2. In Object Explorer, expand the SQL Server instance node. Right-click the Replication folder and select Configure Distribution.
3. In the Configure Distribution Wizard screen, click Next. This screen won't appear if you previously disabled it by clicking the Do not show this starting page again option.
4. In the Distributor screen, which Figure 1 shows, you designate whether this SQL Server instance will act as its own Distributor or if another server will act as the Distributor for local publications. For this demo, have the publisher act as its own Distributor and click Next.
5. If not already configured, the SQL Server Agent Start screen lets you select whether to automatically start the SQL Server Agent service when the computer is started. Select the Yes, configure the SQL Server Agent service to start automatically option and click Next.
6. The Snapshot Folder screen designates the root location for snapshot storage. For this demo, use the default local path. Choosing a local path will raise the warning that the folder doesn't support pull subscriptions. (Those require a network share.) Write down the default local path, because you'll need it later. Click Next.
7. The Distribution Database screen shows options for configuring the name of the distribution database and database file locations. In a production system, you'll want to ensure that you place the distribution database files on an I/O path that can meet throughput and latency requirements based on the replication topology volume. For this scenario, keep the defaults and click Next.
8. In the Publishers screen, you specify which servers can use the Distributor for publications. In this example, the desired SQL Server instance will already be selected. Clicking the ellipsis (...) to the right of the Distribution Database column shows additional settings, such as the Agent Connection Mode (specifies how to connect to the Publisher) and Default Snapshot Folder. Click Next.
9. In the Wizard Actions screen, you tell the wizard to automatically configure distribution, generate a script that you can use to configure distribution, or both. In this case, keep the default and click Next.
10. In the Complete the Wizard screen, select Finish. You'll see the status of the steps as they execute. Click Close when the wizard successfully completes all the steps.
Enabling a Database for Publication
The following steps detail how to enable a database for publication:
1. In Object Explorer, expand the SQL Server instance node you just enabled as a Publisher. Right-click the Replication folder and select Publisher Properties.
2. In the Publisher Properties dialog box, notice that there are two options in the Select a page pane on the left. The General page shows the Distributor settings for the specific publishers. For this demo, make sure the Distributor setting states This server acts as its own Distributor.
3. Select Publication Databases in the Select a page pane. You'll see a list of all databases available for replication. Select the check box that intersects the AdventureWorks row and Transactional column, as Figure 2 shows. Click OK.
Configuring Security for the Agents
The following steps describe how to provision the minimum required permissions to the three replication agent service accounts used in this demo's topology:
1. On the Publisher SQL Server instance, execute the code in Listing 1 in a new query window. This code will create the Snapshot Agent login, create a user, and add db_owner membership in the distribution and publication databases.
USE [master]; GO CREATE LOGIN [SQLskills\SQLskillsSnapshotAGT] FROM WINDOWS; USE [distribution]; GO CREATE USER [SQLskills\SQLskillsSnapshotAGT] FOR LOGIN [SQLskills\SQLskillsSnapshotAGT]; EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_owner', N'SQLskills\SQLskillsSnapshotAGT'; USE [AdventureWorks]; GO CREATE USER [SQLskills\SQLskillsSnapshotAGT] FOR LOGIN [SQLskills\SQLskillsSnapshotAGT]; EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_owner', N'SQLskills\SQLskillsSnapshotAGT';
2. Execute the code in Listing 2. This code will create the Log Reader Agent login, create a user, and add db_owner membership in the distribution and publication databases.
USE [master]; GO CREATE LOGIN [SQLskills\SQLskillsLogReaderAG] FROM WINDOWS; USE [AdventureWorks]; GO CREATE USER [SQLSKILLS\SQLskillsLogReaderAG] FOR LOGIN [SQLSKILLS\SQLskillsLogReaderAG]; EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_owner', N'SQLskills\SQLskillsLogReaderAG'; USE [distribution]; GO CREATE USER [SQLSKILLS\SQLskillsLogReaderAG] FOR LOGIN [SQLSKILLS\SQLskillsLogReaderAG]; EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_owner', N'SQLskills\SQLskillsLogReaderAG';
3. Execute the code in Listing 3. This code will create the Distribution Agent login, create a user, and add db_owner membership in the distribution database. Note that SQL Server Books Online (BOL) states that the Distribution Agent account needs to be a member of the publication access list (PAL). The PAL secures access to the publication and prevents unauthorized logins from subscribing. There are idiosyncrasies in PAL behavior for some scenarios, so to learn more, read my blog post "When is the Publication Access List required?"
USE [master]; GO CREATE LOGIN [SQLskills\SQLskillsDistAGT] FROM WINDOWS; USE [distribution]; GO CREATE USER [SQLskills\SQLskillsDistAGT] FOR LOGIN [SQLskills\SQLskillsDistAGT] EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_owner', N'SQLskills\SQLskillsDistAGT';
4. Connect to the Subscriber instance and execute the code in Listing 4. This code will create the Distribution Agent login, create a user, and add db_owner permissions in the subscription database.
USE [master]; GO CREATE LOGIN [SQLskills\SQLskillsDistAGT] FROM WINDOWS; USE [AWReporting]; GO CREATE USER [SQLSKILLS\SQLskillsDistAGT] FOR LOGIN [SQLSKILLS\SQLskillsDistAGT] EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_owner', N'SQLskills\SQLskillsDistAGT'
5. Assign the Snapshot Agent account write permissions to the snapshot folder.
6. Assign the Distribution Agent account read permissions to the snapshot folder.
Although you assigned db_owner in various places, this is the official minimum required permissions. Compared with sysadmin permissions on a single account, what you've done is indeed a more secure configuration.
Creating a Publication
Follow these steps to create a new publication:
1. In Object Explorer, expand the Publisher SQL Server instance and expand the Replication folder. Right-click the Local Publications folder and select New Publication.
2. In the New Publication Wizard screen, select Next (assuming you haven't previously disabled this screen).
3. In the Publication Database screen, select AdventureWorks. Notice that you can't select multiple databases, because a single publication is scoped to a single database. Click Next.
4. In the Publication Type screen, select Transactional publication and click Next.
5. In the Articles screen in Figure 3, expand Tables and select the tables listed previously in the "Implementing Transactional Replication" section. Afterward, scroll down, expand Views, and select vEmployee (HumanResources).
6. In the Objects to publish list, click the top node value of Tables, click the Article Properties button, and select Set Properties of All Table Articles. Review the various article settings in the Properties for All Table Articles dialog box, which Figure 4 shows. Click OK.
7. In the Articles screen, select Next.
8. The Article Issues screen warns you that because you chose a view for an article, you should ensure that all view-referenced objects are available on the Subscriber. Click Next.
9. In the Filter Table Rows screen, you can add predicates that filter which rows within a table should be replicated. Be aware that filters can add latency in high throughput topologies. Make no changes, and click Next.
10. The Snapshot Agent screen lets you specify when to run the Snapshot Agent and create the new snapshot. Select the Create a snapshot immediately and keep the snapshot available to initialize subscriptions option. When you choose this option, you're actually setting the immediate_sync property to True, which impacts data retention in the distribution database. If you have a high throughput topology, you need to consider the effect that this setting might have. Click Next.
11. The Agent Security screen specifies the Snapshot Agent and Log Reader Agent credentials. Deselect the Use the security setting from the Snapshot Agent check box and click the Security Settings button for the Snapshot Agent.
12. In the Snapshot Agent Security dialog box in Figure 5, select the Run under the following Windows account option, enter the account and password, and click OK.
13. In the Agent Security screen, click the Security Settings button for the Log Reader Agent. Enter the account and password. Click OK, then Next.
14. In the Wizard Actions screen, select the Create the publication option and click Next.
15. In the Complete the Wizard screen, enter the publication name (I chose Pub_AdventureWorks) and click Finish. You'll see the status of the steps as they execute. Click Close when the wizard successfully completes all the steps.
Creating the Push Subscription
Follow these steps to create a new push subscription:
1. From the Replication folder on the Publisher/Distributor, expand Local Publications, right-click [AdventureWorks]:Pub_AdventureWorks, and select New Subscriptions.
2. In the New Subscription Wizard screen, click Next (assuming you haven't previously disabled this screen).
3. In the Publication screen, ensure the new publication is selected. Click Next.
4. The Distribution Agent Location screen specifies the type of subscription (push or pull). Keep the default and click Next.
5. In the Subscribers screen, click Add Subscriber, then Add SQL Server Subscriber. In the Connect to Server dialog box, connect to the Subscriber SQL Server instance.
6. In the Subscribers screen, there will now be a second server listed. Select the subscription database for that server from the drop-down list. Click Next.
7. In the Distribution Agent Security screen (see Figure 6), click the ellipsis to bring up the Distribution Agent Security dialog box. In it, enter the Distribution Agent account and password. Click OK.
8. In the Distribution Agent Security screen, click Next.
9. In the Synchronization Schedule screen, leave the value at the default (run continuously) and click Next.
10. In the Initialize Subscriptions screen, keep the default to initialize the subscription immediately. Click Next.
11. In the Wizard Actions screen, keep the default Create the subscription(s) option selected and click Next.
12. On the Complete the Wizard page, select Finish. After all the steps have been successfully completed, click Close.
Testing the Replication Deployment
Now you should test the replication deployment to see whether it's working as intended. Follow these steps:
1. In the publication database, execute the code:
INSERT [Person].[Address] (AddressLine1, City, StateProvinceID, PostalCode) VALUES ('2222 Test Drive', 'Minneapolis', 36, 55410);
2. Wait about 10 seconds, then execute the following SELECT statement on the Subscriber:
SELECT AddressID FROM [Person].[Address] WHERE AddressLine1 = '2222 Test Drive';
If everything was implemented correctly, the newly inserted row should be returned.
3. Test the replicated view on the Subscriber by running the code:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM HumanResources.vEmployee;
When I ran this code, I received 290 rows and no failure message, indicating that all dependent objects were there.
Learning Through Practice
This introduction to implementing transactional replication only scratches the surface of what you'll need to understand in order to deploy and support transactional replication in your own environment. Although the scope of what you'll need to learn might seem daunting, the best way to grow your replication skills is to practice them in service of your company's application and business objectives.

The carbon tax could be abolished by Thursday, after a misstep by the government almost put off a vote until at least next week.
But the government faces a $1.5 billion bill to fund Labor-initiated tax cuts in 2015, which Prime Minister Tony Abbott says are unnecessary if there is no carbon tax in place.
Coalition senators entered the chamber on Wednesday morning confident of getting enough crossbench votes to bring the carbon tax repeal bills to a speedy vote with little debate.
But the Australian Motoring Enthusiast Party's Ricky Muir sided with Labor, the Greens, independent Nick Xenophon and the Democratic Labour Party's John Madigan to veto the move.
Senator Muir resisted overtures from coalition tacticians to cut short the debate, saying he wanted time to discuss his amendment to retain funding for the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA).
It was the second time in three days he has split from the three Palmer United Party (PUP) senators, with whom he has an agreement to vote as a bloc.
However, Senator Muir patched up his differences with PUP later on Wednesday and issued a statement saying he and the party would allow the government to reschedule funding for ARENA.
The Victorian senator also appeared to have had back-room discussions with the government when he revealed he and PUP senators would vote together "to ensure the carbon tax repeal legislation passes through all stages in the Senate by tomorrow (Thursday)".
Comment was being sought from the government.
Senator Muir has also agreed to back a bid by PUP to establish a future emissions trading scheme should Australia's trading partners act the same way.
Labor Senate leader Penny Wong accused the government of wanting to bring on a quick vote to meet Mr Abbott's "media schedule".
A bill to go ahead with a second round of compensation was split from the package of legislation, with the three PUP senators, Senator Muir, Family First's Bob Day, Liberal Democrat David Leyonhjelm and Senator Xenophon siding with Labor and the Greens.
Senator Leyonhjelm said the decision effectively torpedoed the government's $80-a-year hit to taxpayers.
The government also faced the embarrassment of one of its own crossing the floor when Senator Ian Macdonald backed Senator Xenophon's call for a review of national electricity rules.
Senator Xenophon said electricity prices had more than doubled in the past six years, and network charges were responsible for two-thirds of the increase.
Government business is scheduled in the Senate for later on Wednesday night.
The government needs six extra votes on to top of its 33 senators to pass legislation.
It will rely on the three PUP senators as well as senators Muir, Day and Leyonhjelm.

Party lines drawn on Niagara County tourism contract renewal
LOCKPORT – Two competing resolutions on a new contract with Niagara County's tourism promotion agency are on Tuesday's County Legislature agenda.
The majority Republicans are proposing only a one-year extension to work out problems they have found with the performance of the Niagara Tourism and Convention Corp.
The minority Democrats are proposing a 10-year renewal, which is far closer to the 15-year deal NTCC President John Percy asked for. The contract that just expired was a 10-year pact.
Majority Leader Richard E. Updegrove, R-Lockport, last week cited concerns about Percy's allegedly extravagant spending and lack of measurable results in adding to the tourist flow in the county.
Updegrove pointed to Lockport Mayor Michael W. Tucker's longtime criticism of the NTCC as ineffective for Lockport.
Minority Leader Dennis F. Virtuoso, D-Niagara Falls, said the GOP members "have to educate themselves about how the tourism industry works."
He said, "In tourism, you can't plan year by year. You have to plan things long-term. These conventions are booked years and years ahead of time. Right now, they're buying [advertising] space for next year."
As part of a letter-writing campaign organized by Percy from area businesses, Mike Murphy wrote that his company, Lockport Locks and Erie Canal Cruises, has been winning awards on travel websites.
"This worldwide recognition would certainly not be possible without the tireless market efforts of NTCC," Murphy wrote. "John Percy and his staff have a national and international reputation. Their contacts and reputation alone are valuable assets to Niagara County."
Robert L. Emerson, executive director of Old Fort Niagara, wrote that the fort's attendance rose 33 percent last year.
"This excellent performance can be traced directly to the efforts of the NTCC and its marketing programs," Emerson wrote.
John Kinney, operator of Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours, said his revenue from the American side of the Niagara River has risen from 3 percent of his business in 1997 to 50 percent today, a jump he credits to Percy's organization.
"Without the NTCC, Niagara Falls will become Morgantown, W.Va., Scranton, Pa., or Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. There is nothing wrong with these towns; however, nobody would ever call them world-class," Kinney wrote.
Updegrove charged last week that the letters legislators have been receiving were provoked by fear.
"They are being told that the County Legislature is jeopardizing their livelihoods by not renewing the contract," he said. "Of course, they are being callously used by Mr. Percy in what amounts to an effort to save his own job."

Greinke strong in LA debut as Dodgers blank Pirates
Los Angeles, CA – In his Dodger debut, Zack Greinke impressed with 6 1/3 shutout innings and Los Angeles took a 3-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the opener of a three-game set.
Greinke (1-0) signed a six-year, $147 million dollar contract this past offseason with Los Angeles and lived up to expectations in his first start, allowing just two hits and striking out six.
Andre Ethier hit a solo home run while Matt Kemp and Adrian Gonzalez each had RBI doubles for the Dodgers, who had dropped two of three to San Francisco in their season opening series.
"It was a great win," said Kemp. "Greinke came out in his first start and did a great job."
Brandon League pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to pick up his first save of the season.
The Pirates, who had just six runs and 13 hits in their opening series against the Cubs, managed just two hits on Friday.
"I'm encouraged by our pitching and our defense. We had good at-bats tonight, but had nothing to show for it," said Pirates manager Clint Hurdle. "We're 1-3, but we're in games."
Andrew McCutchen and Garrett Jones each had a single and Jonathan Sanchez (0-1) was saddled with the loss after surrendering all three runs on six hits in five-plus innings of work.
Greinke was in control and showed no ill effects from the elbow soreness that kept him sidelined most of the spring. After allowing a hit to Jones in the second, Greinke went on to retire the next 11 batters he faced.
The Dodgers got on the board first with Ethier's solo blast in the second. Four innings later, they pushed two more runs across.
Sanchez, who had escaped trouble the previous inning, walked Mark Ellis to start the sixth. He then gave up run-scoring doubles to both Kemp and Gonzalez and was chased from the game trailing 3-0.
Jeanmar Gomez took the mound and got out of the jam on four pitches, though, as Luis Cruz hit into a fielder's choice and Ethier lined into a double play.
The Pirates recorded just their second hit when McCutchen lined a single to center off Greinke, who then exited to a standing ovation. Paco Rodriguez took the hill and after McCutchen was caught stealing, struck out Pedro Alvarez to end the inning.
Russell Martin's walk to start the eighth was Pittsburgh last baserunner for the rest of the game.
Game Notes
A.J. Burnett will take the hill for Pittsburgh on Saturday and Los Angeles will counter with ace Clayton Kershaw ... The Dodgers had seven hits, going 2- for-5 with runners in scoring position ... Gonzalez went 2-for-4 for the Dodgers.

By Marc Livitz: The majority of casual sports fans are easily able to identify certain athletes and at times even their respective team. While boxing is unfortunately still in the far periphery of some and completely off the radar for others, there are still a handful of familiar stars that are easily recognizable. If they are not household names, then they are at least of the water cooler variety. In regard to the sweet science, there can be no confusion that the "1a." and "1b." argument concerning Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Manny Pacquiao is now the last topic to be openly debated in the boxing world.
"Money" Mayweather sits high atop the pinnacle of the fight game and has seemingly held or greatly controlled the reins of the sport for quite some time. He's become one of the most popular athletes in the world and undoubtedly the highest paid one. May and September are usually among the hot and hottest months of the year and Floyd has all but patented the heat and excitement which surround the big time bouts taking place near Cinco de Mayo (May 5) and Diez y Seis de Septiembre (September 16, Mexican Independence Day).
The fight set to take place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on September 14 can be no exception. Floyd Mayweather, Jr., an undefeated (44-0, 26 KO's) eight-time, five division titleholder has either truthfully given in to the demands of boxing fans worldwide or could easily see the benefits of readily accepting the challenge from one of Mexico's superstar fighters. His opponent, the redheaded Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico star known as "Canelo" has a number of championship belts of his own which he's willing to risk for a chance to hand Mayweather his first defeat.
Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO's) has become so popular as of late that he may even wonder if some people are aware that his moniker is not in fact his given name. "The One", as the promotion was tagged has already broken live gate records and it of course remains to be seen if the television pay per view figures can eclipse the industry's established "pound for pound" mark of nearly two and a half million buys.
In any case, Mayweather is on course to equal the great Rocky Marciano's unbeaten record of 49-0 should he fulfill his six fight, $300 million dollar deal with Showtime. Victory number forty four came just a number of months ago, when he battled an injured hand en route to a resounding win over Robert Guerrero on May 4. As perviously stated, there can be no denying that the fifth and ninth months, respectively on the calendar can be earmarked for a "Money" fight. Yet what is a bit out of sorts for the undefeated champion from Las Vegas by way of Grand Rapids, Michigan is the quick turnaround from his last fight to this one. Floyd hasn't fought twice in one calendar year since 2007.
With just 10 days to go until fight night and with the anticipation readily nearing a fever pitch, Floyd was eager to speak to the media this afternoon by way of an international conference call. Selected highlights are listed below.
Leonard Ellerbe, CEO Mayweather Promotions: "Mayweather versus Canelo is the most anticipated fight in the history of the sport and we have every indication of that. It sold out in one day and earned $19.5 million in ticket sales. In terms of the restaurants and bars, we're 50% higher than we were in 2007 for Floyd and Oscar De La Hoya. It's being shown in over 500 movie theaters. The amount of sponsorship is the biggest ever. The demand for tickets has been unbelievable. We've also used the biggest advertising ever with the cable and satellite TV carriers. Over the next week and a half, the promotion will be just about everywhere."
Floyd Mayweather Opening Statements: "I just want to continue to bring everyone the biggest and the best fights. I want to thank everyone who has been involved."
(Accomplishments and His Future)
"The most important thing in my career has been the ability to put my children in a perfect environment and give them a great education. In boxing, I brought the attention to the smaller guys and transcended the sport. I gave the best so I could receive the best. I'm cleaning the sport up and giving the fans excitement on an even playing field. My promotional company doesn't want to stack itself with a ton of fighters and we can't promise every fighter with us that they will be a world champion. We'll keep working with them and one day I can hand my torch to them. We want to help these young fighters grow and take it to the next level."
(General Feelings)
"I'm only human and some days are better than others. That's life. Some days are good and some days are bad. I constantly tell myself to smile on the rainy days as well as the sunny days. I'm happy to be working once again with my father (Floyd Mayweather, Sr.). We're perfectionists. Each and every day, I try to become a better person. I have positive people in my camp and if they're not, we try to keep them away from us."
(The state of boxing and his career)
"I think that there's too many belts and too many champions. I beat Miguel Cotto for the WBA championship and then Austin Trout beat him for it. Then, Canelo beat Trout. So, how is Canelo the champ? The sport is tainted now. There should be one champ in each division. When I was fighting, I wanted to face Oscar De La Hoya a long time ago. I couldn't get that until I had my own company. Same for Miguel Cotto.
Some say my opponents have been handpicked. My team has done their job if I've had easy fights but I've made a lot of money. Who wants forty four grueling fights? I'll look back and know that I've had a cool career. My team has done a great job for me. I fought Shane Mosley when he came off of the biggest win of career. I didn't fight a washed up (Carlos) Baldomir because he was the undisputed champ."
(Quick turnaround between fights)
"I thought I'd be upset without a vacation, but this camp has been great. I was able to get right back into the groove and stay sharp. I've been getting in good, solid work. The young guys have been pushing me. After this fight, I'd like to fight in May (2014) and then in September again."
(Performance versus Guerrero and now)
"I think I'll be a lot sharper this time around. We have a lot of up and coming talent in our gym and they're always competing to be the best. That pushes me that much harder."
(Why the fight is so popular)
"He (Alvarez) knocked Baldomir out and he's young, strong competitor. I've never seen a guy who is 44-0 against a guy who is 42-0. In Mexico, he's a young rock star and he's a good, strong and solid boxer. It's a very intriguing matchup and even as a boxing fan, I'd like to see a fight between two undefeated champions. This is a very big fight. I'm pushing myself to the limit."
(Has Floyd Mellowed with Age?)
"Everything was according to a business plan. I will turn it on when it has to be turned on and turn it off when it has to be turned off. It allowed me to become an entertainer and a pay per view superstar. If I didn't step up with the flashiness and flamboyance, then I wouldn't have got to where I am."
(Is the Pay Per View Record Important?)
"We can still break the record without doing 2.5 million buys. When I fought Oscar, the cost of the fight on TV was less. The price has gone up, so financially speaking we don't need to break the number of buys to surpass the dollar amount."
(Olympic style drug testing)
"At first, everyone called me a chicken. I'm not a chicken and I'm not scared. I just want the even playing field. Every athlete competing at the highest level should want to be tested if they're real professionals. I feel like I was a pioneer. Timothy Bradley wouldn't fight Juan Manuel Marquez in October unless Marquez agreed to testing. I started it off and now it's everywhere."
(Is the stage too big for Canelo Alvarez?)
"We'll see. It's different from fighting on a Mayweather undercard to fighting Mayweather in the main event. We'll see how it plays out. Hopefully, the pressure makes him (Canelo) fight better. After this fight, I have four fights left and I want to give the fans what they want."
(On Canelo using Miguel Cotto's strategy)
"The only thing he can learn from the Cotto fight is how to lose. He can watch that fight if he wants to lose."
(Admiration from British boxing fans - answered by Leonard Ellerbe after Floyd's phone went dead)
"He takes great pride in his UK fans. It goes back to 2007 when he fought Ricky Hatton. The environment in the arena was unlike anything we'd ever experienced. When that fight was over, Floyd talked about the tremendous fan support from the UK fans. With each and every fight, his British fan base has grown. He appreciates the support because they are diehard fans. Ricky Hatton took a beat down and they were still singing his name. One day soon, we might make that trip over the pond."

Kicking the Trees
It's true, last week's visit with my family was filled with moments of connection and terms of endearment ... but that's not the whole story. (Is it ever?)
On Friday, we did a walking tour of our town. Together, we strolled for two hours in the morning sunshine, then stopped to eat at a favorite local coffee shop. We arrived during the lunch rush, and while I savored the energy of the place, I knew Willie might have trouble with the noise level. No matter, I thought, he has his noise-canceling headphones. But unfortunately, he'd forgotten to bring his headphones along for our walk.
Our parents exchanged glances and watched Willie closely. At first, everything seemed fine, but just as I was finishing my salad, things took a turn. Mom asked Willie a question, and rather than reply in words, he let out a sound between a shriek and a bark. (Translation: The noise level is really getting to me.) I grabbed my purse and gently prompted Willie toward the door while everyone else gathered their things. As we stepped onto the sidewalk, Willie looked better immediately, and seemed to regain his equanimity. Even so, I was on edge. The visit had been going so well. I'd been lulled into forgetting about challenging behaviors, but there on the sidewalk, I remembered.
In the afternoon, we walked for another hour through a neighborhood of historic homes. Willie repeated the same questions; we tried to help, but I could tell he wasn't doing well. And then, as we came to a crossroads, he lost it. He kicked a nearby tree, bit his shoulder, and tried to strike both our parents. (Fortunately, he didn't succeed.) Our parents handled it, and no one was hurt.
My husband held my hand; together, we waited it out. It was hard to stay present—everything in me wanted to run away—but even so, I gave it my best shot. (After all, if I expect Willie to maintain calm behavior, the least I can do is attempt the same.) I reminded myself to breathe, to hold on to that which I know is true. Yet I also felt myself numbing out, trying to avoid feeling the grief, frustration, and yes, embarrassment (we were in the middle of a residential neighborhood at the time, with pedestrians nearby).
Afterward, I felt shaky. My mind whirred, trying to think of ways in which the meltdown could have been prevented. What if Willie had had his headphones at lunch, in the noisy cafe? What if we'd chosen to rest instead of going for another walk? But I heard a dear friend's voice in my mind; I remembered her telling me, "It's not your fault," when it came to Willie's meltdowns. I held to that, and was able to forgive Willie before he apologized.
When we arrived home, he sat on our front porch and wept; we brought out the tissues and water bottles. Our neighbors' wind chimes rang; it was a beautiful afternoon, and that helped wash away the ugliness of the meltdown. After a time, I could tell that the storm had passed.
That evening, we met for supper at a restaurant downtown. Willie had his headphones on, and we shared a delicious meal. But then, as our plates were cleared away, I saw silent tears running down my brother's cheeks. The sight took me entirely by surprise. "Willie, honey, what is it? What's wrong?" I exclaimed, kneeling by his chair and putting my arm around him.
"I kicked the trees," he said, his voice mournful. He always weeps right after a meltdown, but to see him crying hours later was unusual. And even at the time, I was impressed by what a clear, direct statement he'd made, how he'd effectively summed up the reason for his sadness. I noticed, and was proud of him.
"It's OK, Willie," I said, and meant it. I lay my head on his shoulder; he put his head gently on top of mine. Conscious of his need for space, I pulled away after a moment, but he kept his head bent toward me; a rare gesture, as though he wanted to stay close.

Kidman's Grace Of Monaco delayed
Nicole Kidman's Grace Of Monaco film has been pulled from the Weinstein Company's release schedule, just months before its planned arrival in cinemas.
The biographical drama, which stars the Australian actress as Grace Kelly and Tim Roth as the Prince of Monaco, has been indefinitely postponed, with no release date for the near future, sources told The Hollywood Reporter.
The film had originally been set for a US release in November 2013, but the film studio pushed it back to March 2014, saying it wouldn't be ready in time.
French filmmaker Olivier Dahan hinted that he had been at odds with producer Harvey Weinstein over suggested changes to the biopic.
He told a French newspaper: "It's right to struggle, but when you confront an American distributor like Weinstein, not to name names, there is not much you can do. There are two versions of the film for now: mine and his... which I find catastrophic."
Insiders claim that Harvey gave Olivier notes, but that Harvey "has no creative control over the project and cannot make cuts to the film".
The film has come under criticism from the royal family. Prince Albert II, Princess Caroline and Princess Stephanie reportedly made "numerous requests for changes" to the script and claimed that "a series of scenes" in the flick were "purely fictional".
Parker Posey, Frank Langella and Derek Jacobi also star in Grace Of Monaco, which has a script written by Arash Amel.

While necessity may be the mother of invention, tight budgets are the mother of innovative repurposing of technologies.
Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography have teamed up to take advantage of a network of hundreds of GPS stations in Southern California, originally installed to measure tectonic movements and to monitor and predict hazardous events such as earthquakes and flash floods.
While the scientific-level GPS stations bounce signals off satellites to record very small changes in location, those signals can also be used to measure water vapor in the atmosphere.
"A GPS receiver fundamentally is measuring the amount of time it takes signals to travel from the GPS satellites to the receiving antenna on the ground," explained Angelyn W. Moore, a scientist on JPL's Geodynamics and Space Geodesy Group. "That travel time is modified by the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. The upshot is that whenever we measure a geodetic-quality GPS station's position, we are also measuring the delay due to water vapor. That delay can be related to precipitable water vapor with a surface pressure and temperature measurement."
When this moisture data is combined with data from barometers and thermometers, it can give forecasters greater accuracy in predicting rainfall and flash floods. According to Moore, there are approximately 40 stations providing water-vapor estimates every half hour. "We are evaluating hardware to provide water vapor [data] at 5 minutes or less at a test site, and plan to install that at approximately 25 sites," she added.
While forecasters are currently accessing the system's water-vapor estimates via a Web interface, said Moore, "We are pursuing integration into their standard forecaster displays."
According to Moore, the network in Southern California consists of 475 GPS stations, about 175 of which are operating in real time and 17 of which have been equipped with accelerometers. While GPS measurements can be used to measure large movements during an earthquake, accelerometers can measure smaller movements. More importantly, accelerometers can measure primary waves, or P-waves, which can be help seismologists predict the arrival of the secondary waves, which signal the phase of violent shaking during an earthquake. Since P-waves move through the earth faster than S-waves, data from P-waves could be used to provide an early-warning system.
While Moore doesn't know of imminent plans to expand the system, she says doing so would offer important data. "Certainly the spatial extent can be extended," she said. "Existing real-time GPS stations tend to be located in California more than in Arizona, so north is the most obvious opportunistic direction at present. That would enable use of the GPS water vapor [data] for other weather conditions such as atmospheric rivers." Atmospheric rivers are relatively narrow regions in the atmosphere in which relatively large amounts of water vapor are transported horizontally. According to NOAA, "While ARs come in many shapes and sizes, those that contain the largest amounts of water vapor, the strongest winds, and stall over watersheds vulnerable to flooding, can create extreme rainfall and floods."
In fact, NOAA already has several hundred GPS-equipped weather stations scattered throughout the nation. Although the density of that network is not sufficient for the kinds of system being developed by the JPL/NOAA/Scripps team, they could be incorporated into an expanding network.

Roasted carrot, chickpea & basmati rice salad
I was invited to a potluck party this evening, I wanted to make something that didn't need to be heated up but still packed a good protein punch. I have a book that I regularly look to for inspiration, Culinary Artistry. It doesn't have recipes, what it does have is a list of different foods and spices and what they pair well with. Very helpful.
I had a bunch of mint that I wanted to use up, and when I looked at the pairings the word carrot spoke to me....I had some local carrots in my fridge.
I like roasted vegetables but I don't like overly roasted ones..hehe
So this is what I came up with...I had a few taste testers on hand and they gobbled it up.
1 cup cooked basmati rice
1 red pepper- small diced
1 stalk celery- small diced
1 1/2 cups chickpeas
1/4 cup chopped mint
Combine ingredients in a bowl
2 carrots- peeled and sliced
drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with cumin powder, dried mint, sea salt, freshly ground pepper, and a splash of maple syrup.
In an oven at 375 roast carrots for about 25 minutes or until soft. Combine with rice.
1 tbsp 3-6-9 oil
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried mint
1 clove garlic-minced
1/4 tsp paprika
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tsp maple syrup
sea salt
freshly ground pepper
In a mason jar combine ingredients and shake up. Pour over salad

Clickhere for a Quicktime video of Andrew Crawford building his own board.
Story, photos, and video by Leah Stassen
Little did Rossignol Snowboard riders Andrew Crawford, Jeremy Jones, and Jonas Emery know that when the company offered them each pro models¿they would have to build the boards themselves. Well, not all of the boards of course, but when the riders made a visit to the factory in Artes, Spain October 22, they each got the chance to build one of their own pro models.
The riders were in Europe for a photo shoot the previous week, but stayed around long enough to make a side trip down to the factory. The team also had time to meet up with many of Rossignol's international distributors, who attended the international sales meetings and workshops taking place in San Feliu de Guixols just an hour north of Barcelona. While both Emery and Jones had been to the factory before, the October trip was the first for Crawford. Donning an apron and rubber gloves in preparation, his excitement could barely be contained. SNOWboarding Business has this first hand look as Andrew Crawford built his own snowboard.With the help of one of the regular factory workers, each rider went to work laying up the snowboards. From the preparation of the snowboard molds, to lining up the sidewalls, edges, and cores, and finally placing the top-sheets, the riders built the boards from start to finish.

Record History
The National Asylum for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers was established on March 3, 1865, for volunteer soldiers who had received disabilities while serving in the Union forces in the Civil War. Initially, the Asylum, later called the Home, was planned to have three branches: the northeast, the central area north of the Ohio River, and the northwest (now the upper Midwest). Seven more branches were added between 1870 and 1907 as broader eligibility requirements allowed more Veterans to apply for admission. Veterans admitted into the Home were recorded in "Historical Registers," which were maintained at various branches. These registers are now at the National Archives in Record Group 15, Records of the Veterans Administration. A home number was assigned to each individual upon admission. The member retained his original number even if he was discharged and later readmitted to the branch.
Why the Record Was Created
These records were created to keep track of the disabled war veterans who were being housed and provided for in the Homes.
Record Reliability
These records are generally reliable and a great place to research Civil War veterans.

A 'friend' of mine decided to tell my boyfriend that I was going to dump him for someone else who liked me (wasn't true, ofc). He believed her and then ended our relationship. Afterwards, that 'friend' of mine asked him out, saying he should do it to get over me.
I don't really care about the whole boyfriend thing, at least not anymore. It just hurts that someone who called them self my friend would do that.
Standing at the end of the final masquerade.
I used to have some pretty nasty friends in middle school. They only kept me around as a go-to scapegoat for all their petty problems. I had been dumped by most of my childhood friends from elementary school, so I stuck around anyways, afraid of being alone. Eventually, the 'ring-leader' of the group got pissed that I passed an audition when she didn't and decided to talk shit about me and toss me out of her 'circle'. She lived across the street from me, too. Wouldn't even look at me when we were going to school. Got me kicked off our soccer team. Turned the few true friends I still had from childhood against me.
But, after she stopped associating with me, I found the friends that I still hold dear to this day. She still lives across from me. I still do her family favors -- say hi to her parents, look after their dog while they're away. I hold no grudge against her. She's probably much different than she was when she was 12, but she's turned into a bit of a party girl and I have no interest in getting to know her again.

Because I'm a transferee, I was ostracized by ugly people in 3rd grade.
Because I'm her servant that's why I am reading this.
worst thing anyone has done to me? i guess there is no one to blame but myself. When i was younger i fell while running on some ice and got a nasty scar on my face well my nose to be exact, i lost all confidence to talk to girls and to even think that one will ever look my way and unfortunately that is what happened. Through out high school i tried my best to stand out and talk to people but not many gave me a chance and those few people i did befriend introduced me to their friends which was really cool of em. Eventually i noticed all my friends were guys and i guess they noticed that too when they started asking why they never see me hanging out with a girl. I felt ashamed to admit it and it hurt to see them trying to help me by telling their friends who were girls to talk to me even though i knew they didnt want to. I know they wanted to help but when they talked to me i felt they were judging me by the ugly big scar on my nose i mean who wants to be friends with a guy who looks like me...I mean talking to guys since im a guy is no problem we dont care how we look as long as we got common interest we usually got along well but with a girl i felt pressured to try to impress her or make her laugh or keep her interested in a conversation but i never had enough confidence to do so and felt inferior to the other guys who could. Before graduation i somehow by some god given miracle i got a girl friend she was really nice and didnt seem to mind the scar on my face and i stopped pitying myself till one day she just broke up with me bc her parents didnt approve of me. immediately i assumed it was bc the way i look and yup here i am in college same thing happening all over again..
Two kids were playing catch with a giant rock... Of course that rock nailed me in the head and split my head wide open. Had to get a few stitches.
Live simply so others can simply live.
Getting hacked on my account by my cousin -.-
But other than that, I don't think many horrible things have happened to me:L *Or my minds try to reject every bad thing in my memories xD*
But I guess, getting rejected from a girl you asked out lol.. I failed so hard back then-.-
what is this cr stuff
Worst thing to happen to me????
Hmm......Raped at the age of 14 by my uncle. He offered me beer, I thought awesome, your a cool uncle. Nope, after the 5th one I was pretty toasted. Then the next thing I knew I was about to ejaculate....I snapped to my senses and stopped him before I did. gathered my stuff and walked 3 miles to my other aunt and uncles house. Nothing was ever done about that situation, one of those lets keep it in the family things.
Hmm..... My last GF I ever had got pregnant when she was 19, I was 22. We both decided we would be responsable and get married and raise our child. But that reality was incorrect. 2 weeks after we told our parents the news they were all opposed to us doing that. Basicly her and I were weak..........The following weekend I took her to the clinic.....I died that day along with her. We stayed together for another 4 years for a total of 7 years. We no longer speak to each other.
Hmm.....My first wife was a liar. A cheater. A fake. A thing that cared more for the drugs than her husband. A thing that used me to get what she never had and left me as if I was trash.
So yeah, we all have it rough in life. Took me over 10 years to get over the abortion and still I have lingering emotions on it. BUT HEY! There's always tomorrow right!
1.being raised where I was raised. 2. my parents trying to convince me to be more social. 3. my parents not working. 4. parents' friends/family visiting my parents at home, even if im in my room theyre loud.
when I think about it is all my parents fault, so the one worst thing that couldve been done to me is being born into this family
Tried to kill me.
my stepmother and stepsister both bulimic called me fat every single day when i wasn't.. and ended up giving me an eating disorder which ive now had for 2 years.. multiple hosiptal stays.. almost death on a few of those occasions and depression
reboot, reload, restart shoot for the stars

The differences between stories in this thread is... wow.
To all of you young 'uns whose worst experiences in life have been with relationships ending or a minor accident, I sincerely hope the rest of your lives are as gentle as they have been so far

Got caught watching hentai by my sister then tells all her friends about it.
I can't talk to them anymore.
Boss tried to fire me for coming in late for work.
Normally that'd be expected, but the thing is, I came in for work when I wasn't even scheduled, I just thought I was.
Her foot was soo far deep in her mouth when I explained that she couldn't fire me for that, that she intensely hated me for ever after.
All of my why.
She got a free shift of work from me, so obviously I am terrible and worthy of her hate.
well lets see the worst thing someone has done to me in 2012 I work at a hotel so this guy comes in and needs a room for a night but the problem was he only had cash and we don't accept cash until you check out . So anyway this guy said he needs a room for the night because he got kicked out of his house and he only had $30 remind you that are rates for a single bed is $89.99 so my dumb ass felt sorry for this asshole and gave him the room for the night I know very stupid of me. I told him he has to leave at 7am that is when I get off of work so he does but he left the room a complete mess also had condoms wrappers&condoms everywhere in the room. So that had to be the worst thing someone has done to me in 2012 and here i was trying to help out this jerk.

Without sounding like the ultimate holiday cliché, the Cole Haan x Jen Brill & Olivia Kim collaboration is officially the gift that keeps on giving. With the debut of their collection a few months back, we were instantly fans of the bold-colored booties (and high jinx-filled lookbook). Now the shoe collaboration has gotten a heavy dose of holiday cheer.
Leaving the tinsel for the windows, these new festive pairs are glistening in their own special way — think metallics, lots of metallics. The shiny-meets-suede strappy heels come ready to inspire soirée ensembles in what may be considered untraditional winter holiday shades, including neon green, sapphire blue, aquamarine, and rosy pink.
Of course, like the rest of this exclusive collaboration, the new editions to the Brill and Kim dream team are only available at Cole Haan and Opening Ceremony. (You know how to get there, right? Santa?)
Preview the pairs in the slides ahead and start shopping them tomorrow, November 7.
