James Randi: An Honest Liar
Curiouser and Curiouser
Kylie Sturgess
March 21, 2012
Interview with Documentary Filmmakers Justin Weinstein and Tyler Measom
"We could make a movie about just a simple biography of Randi and his background—but we're a little more ambitious than that."
—Documentary Filmmaker Justin Weinstein
It's a funny thing that one of the most influential figures in skepticism has never had his life properly documented in a film. That is about to change.
An Honest Liar will profile the life of famed magician turned professional skeptic James "The Amazing" Randi as he embarks on a series of public crusades to expose America's beloved psychics, mentalists, preachers, and faith healers with religious fervor. Along the way, the film will show how easily our perceptions can be fooled by magicians, con artists—and even documentaries.
Justin Weinstein has been making documentaries for television broadcast, theatrical release, and commercial clients for over ten years. Most recently, he wrote and edited Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey, which premiered at Sundance in 2011 (Special Jury Prize). Prior to that, he produced science and environmental documentaries, including Face Off at Coal River Mountain for Al Jazeera English and Dirty Business, a feature documentary about the global coal problem that was produced in collaboration with Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney. He has also produced numerous projects for ABC News, Peter Jennings Reporting, and PBS, including Hot Politics for Frontline and the ABC News special Last Days on Earth.
Tyler Measom is the codirector/producer of the documentary film Sons of Perdition, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, screened at over forty-five festivals, and was acquired by the Oprah Winfrey Network. Measom is also the producer of the feature film Take, starring Minnie Driver and Jeremy Renner. He has written, produced, and directed over one hundred commercials, short documentaries, and industrials for a wide range of national and international clients.
Justin Weinstein: My background is kind of varied; I grew up being interested in two different things, basically: film and science. And for a lot of that, the connection for me was nature documentaries and science documentaries when I was a kid. I wasn't sure which direction I wanted to go. I started out by going to film school. I studied filmmaking at NYU in New York. I decided after I did that I wanted to learn more, so I went into science and I considered becoming a scientist and went so far as to get my doctorate in genetics, which took me a few years but was a lot of fun. A lot of fun but in the lab, for me, it's a lot more interesting to learn science than to practice science—because it can be slow and tedious!
So with that, I took my film background and my science background and went into science documentary filmmaking. I've done a bunch of work for PBS, the Public Broadcasting System in the U.S.; for the national commercial channels like ABC News, doing two-hour special documentaries on a number of different topics. I have dealt with things like UFOs and alien abductions for actually a very high-minded documentary program in the U.S., something for Peter Jennings Reporting.
I have also got into independent feature documentaries—the last one I worked on was Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey, which premiered at Sundance last year and has been doing great. It's been in theatres around the country and played internationally. I'm about to head to the Sedona International Film Festival in Arizona with the film.
Tyler and I met at a film festival—SilverDocs I believe it was—in Maryland. Tyler came to me with this great idea. I saw it. I got it. He saw that I was a likeminded person, and now we've started doing An Honest Liar.
Tyler Measom: I didn't get my doctorate in science by any means—so I came to it in a different way!
I knew when I was ten years old that I wanted to be a filmmaker. I always knew what I wanted to be, but I grew up in a small town in Utah, raised in a very strict Mormon family who didn't encourage that kind of thing. So it was very difficult for me to decide I wanted to be a filmmaker and convince my parents that it was the right thing to do. I still convince my parents that it's the right thing to do—if that matters at all!
I started when I was seventeen, working in the film industry, and I started doing a lot of commercials. Then I made a big narrative film called Take, which starred Minnie Driver and Jeremy Renner, but I've always loved documentaries. I was always deliberating whether I wanted to be a narrative filmmaker or a documentary filmmaker, and there's no reason one can't do both.
So then my partner, Jennilyn Merten, and I made Sons of Perdition, which follows three kids who are exiled from their polygamist community—and it actually did quite well.
Kylie Sturgess: I noticed that you yourself came from a similar faith background?
Measom: Yes. Mormonism is similar in some ways. It's not to the degree that polygamy is in any means. I left the Mormon faith and I had those same trappings: guilt and "Did I do the right thing?" and worries about disappointing community and family. So when this film came and a friend of mine suggested, "You know what would make a great film?" And after you make your first documentary, it was very difficult to think about "What is the next film I want to make?"
When you make a film, you live above the store for a while; you don't just finish and go, "Okay, I'm moving on to the next one" because there's a lot of post-production. There's a lot of marketing and distributing and traveling around to film festivals. Everyone always asks, "What's your next film? What's your next film? What's your next film?" I didn't know; I had no idea!
I wanted to do something that was important to me, and a friend mentioned, "You know this guy James Randi? He's very interesting." I looked him up and the more I realized how interesting he was, I realized, "What a great topic!"
So I talked to the James Randi Educational Foundation and they said they [have] a lot of people wanting to do documentaries and none of them really understand. None of them had the professionalism. So I sent them Sons of Perdition and Sadie Crabtree watched it and said, "It's great. We want you to make the documentary." It all just happened. Then I met Justin at a party. I told him the idea and then we went and had dinner. We just dove in from there!
Weinstein: We found that we both live in the skeptical world in a sense. I was aware of Randi growing up. Having scientific training and having experiences in my life with a lot of non-skeptical people, it has always been something that has been a major part of my life and affects my life in a lot of ways. I think Justin coming out of a more religious background and leaving that, he's obviously been dealing with some similar issues. We clicked on [the subject] and sent JREF a copy of Being Elmo as well. They were like, "Oh, okay, you guys. We're on board."
Sturgess: A meeting of minds as it were! So how challenging has it been documenting the very early years of Randi's career?
Measom: We're still in early production, so we haven't really dived into his life more than just research.
Weinstein: We've only scratched the surface. The amount that we've found just in our preliminary research is so rich—but we also know from filming and going to the Amazing Meeting last year with Randi and knowing more about his history how much more great material is out there that we've got to track down and the wealth of it and the great nature of it. It's really fascinating, entertaining, and amazing stuff.
We could make a movie about just a simple biography of Randi and his background—but we're a little more ambitious than that. We have a lot of great ideas. That's going to be part of it, but it's still going to take a lot of work on our part to have people open up their closets and find their old VCR tapes or whatever we need to do to get it.
Sturgess: So you're drawing on a lot of sources to make the film. Certainly James Randi's offices—he's got a lot of material there from over the years. He's got a library and so forth.
Weinstein: Yes, we have only just begun to tap into that great, great resource. We've got to do a major comb through their archives; I'm sure there's stuff out there that even the JREF doesn't have, because over the years he's done TV shows in so many countries—even a lot of material that's out there that highlights his hoax investigations and exposures. They did a lot more work and detective work—preparation for exposing somebody that hopefully was filmed and people have tapes. It's only the tip of the iceberg.
Measom: I think with Randi's early days of television, "Wonderama" for example, it wasn't common in those days to keep tapes, to keep what's in the past. They would rerecord or would just go live and they wouldn't record it at all. So I would dare say some of his early stuff will be very difficult to find.
Weinstein: If anybody listening has any of those materials, please let us know. We'd be thrilled to hear from them!
Sturgess: That would be wonderful if material can be crowd-sourced. So what are some of the people who have been interviewed for this documentary?
Measom: As you see from the trailer, we've been fortunate to get Neil deGrasse Tyson and Penn Jillette. Adam Savage was a phenomenal interviewee and is such a Randi fan. He was so gracious and spoke so well of him. Richard Dawkins, of course. Then we interviewed a lot of people that didn't make it into the trailer: Michael Shermer was there; Bill Nye, of course, was in the trailer. We were very, very lucky to get these people.
The minute we just said we'd like to do something on James Randi, they would drop everything. They just revere this man like he is their hero. A lot of people really got into skepticism because of him and what he has done.
Weinstein: Penn and Teller for example. He introduced Penn to Teller! Penn Jillette is very outspoken about how, essentially, there would be no Penn and Teller, as he says in the trailer, without Randi. Obviously, Randi has a huge circle of very accomplished friends and admirers. There was an animator for The Simpsons…who told us that they are all huge fans, and they're thinking of having Randi as a guest voice. I think, Tyler, you were saying that Matt Parker and Trey Stone of South Park are also big Randi fans?
Sturgess: This might be a difficult one to answer, but what about the detractors of James Randi, the people who were critical of him? Will they feature in this documentary?
Weinstein: We are interested in talking to some of them, and we're going to try. We really hope to speak to people like Uri Gellar or Peter Popoff—people who have direct experience with Randi's debunking, let's say. We're not looking to just make a big, wet kiss to James Randi! We're not looking to dig up dirt or create controversy—but he and JREF are totally aware of how there are strong feelings about him and what he's done from the other side. I think it would be remiss of us not to address that.
But, I think, within the scheme of the film that we want to make, I wouldn't say it's a major part of it. It's just necessary to present the audience—who might not be aware of any of this material—with a sense of the range of feelings and responses and thoughts about Randi.
Measom: The first day I met James Randi, I flew down to Fort Lauderdale to visit him. He had watched Sons of Perdition, and I went over to his home. It was interesting, because I was so nervous meeting him, and I could sense that he was kind of nervous meeting me. As much press as he's had in his life, he's never had a feature length documentary dedicated to him. That's unfortunate, very unfortunate, but it's a blessing for us.
I said, "Let's go to lunch," and we drove off and went to Ikea! They have a little deli in there, [and Randi] likes the meatballs. We sat down, and he got recognized going in. And the first thing he said to me—he said, "I'm in, but under one condition: warts and all!"
To hear that, was so amazing. To hear that—as a documentary maker to know that he's open to showing every bit of who he is—really just made it so much easier for us.
Sturgess: What are some of things that will be profiled?
Measom: The Carlos Hoax will definitely be featured. I think that's my favorite Randi episode!
Weinstein: I'm partial to the Alpha Project! But I think…we're certainly going to try to do justice to all of these great episodes of his past. Because for a lot of them, like the Alpha Project and Carlos, a lot of the people are still around. Banachek, for example; there's a lot of great media coverage to be used for storytelling purposes. These are just great little amazing, entertaining tales. That's one part of what we're planning on the biographical side. There are a couple of other elements that we're going to incorporate, one of which is a little bit of the history of magic and deception—and the relationship between magic, deception, science, and skepticism, of course.
I think that there are going to be some other layers to the film that are going to be a lot of fun for viewers, and they're going to help make it a richer experience. We might make some people in the audience disappear while they're not looking! Hopefully, we'll make more people appear in the audience than disappear, and the balance will be in favor of bottoms in the seats!

If you don't have the side dishes on hand, it is a little bit more work, but not that hard. You can also use the opportunity to make a lot of side dishes -- some of which you use for bibimbap, the rest which you can save and eat with rice for other meals (as my recipe allows for below). My version is "deluxe" -- I use carrots, white radish, spinach, mushrooms, bean sprouts and fernbrake. You don't have to use all if you don't want to ... any 3-4 is fine. You can also use different vegetables like zucchini, oyster mushrooms, etc.
Serving Size: 4
Preparation Time: 1 hours, 15 minutes
bibim bap is one of my favorite things to eat in Korean cuisine. So easy and so satisfying!

Time was when the only available adult toy for men was a badly made plastic blow up doll with a vagina about as realistic as a three dollar bill. Either that or strange little bottles of the aphrodisiac Spanish Fly. It's strange to think that one of man's most primal urges was so incredibly badly served. How times have changed. Today the adult toys for men market has exploded to become part of a $15 billion business that is growing each year by 30%.

Fleshlight Toys – How to Buy a Fleshlight in Forsyth Montana
More and more individuals are allowing themselves to have the once-off-limits conversation about sexual toys. While most sexual toys are designed for women, men's sex toys are becoming more and more popular. Let's face it: as far as sex toys go women are at the forefront surrounding adult play. From vibrators to clitoral stimulators, women are the target audience in sole play in the bedroom. The truth is, though, there is a large and ever growing market of toys that are dedicated just to men and their pleasure.
Male sex toys come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and functionality that suit not only the many different sexual needs of men but their aesthetic pleasure as well. Male sex toys have a variety of uses and below, those are described.
Prostate Pleasure
One of the most sensitive areas of the body on men that can be stimulated and provide an immense amount of sexual pleasure is the prostate. The prostate gland is near the rectum and can result in significant levels of arousal when stimulated. Because of this, many men's sex toys are now designed specifically to stimulate the prostate gland. Prostate massagers are the most popular toy for prostate play. These toys are placed inside the rectum or they can simply be rubbed along the prostate gland to give that extra "pop" of stimulation allowing for harder erections and orgasms. More specifically, Aneros offers a wide variety of toys for prostate pleasure. The toys in this line are designed to provide a vibrating sensation that result in harder orgasms. Aneros is known for high quality and well-made products making them a leader in the prostate stimulating sex toy line.
Vaginal Replication
There are numerous toys that are crafted to mimic a penis. These mechanisms and toys can be placed inside the body of a man or woman in order to bring about an orgasm or other sexual pleasure. What, though, is available for men that want a vaginal simulation toy? Fleshlight is a toy that is crafted to look and feel like the vagina of a woman. The top of the toy replicates the external region of the female private area, complete with clitoris and labia. The hole on the toy, like the vagina itself, can be inserted into and the ribbing makes it feel like the vaginal cavity. The Fleshlight toy collection comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, all with the intended goal of eliciting a realistic penetration experience.
Vibrating Fun
Another male sex toy that is available on the market today is the We Vibe. This flexible vibrator has many different uses. The flexibility of this vibrator makes it a perfect toy for both men and women. While some women enjoy the double penetration, men, too, find it useful. For example, it can be inserted into the rectum and then placed in such a way that it simultaneously massages the prostate as well. During heterosexual intercourse, a woman can place this vibrator into her body in such a way that it rubs against the penis of her partner during penetration. Because of the incorporation of men into the product uses and the overall construction of the We Vibe vibrator, this stimulator is a popular choice for males who are looking for the perfect little sexual toy.
With sex toys growing in popularity to enhance the bedroom experience it is no wonder that sex toys for men are becoming more and more popular. There is a rise in gay marriages making the market for men's playtime toys a continuously growing area. Ladies, step aside! Men are starting to take over the market!
Masturbation Techniques
Recently picked up the Stamina training unit from the online fleshlight adult toy store and have been using it regularly for the past couple months. The first thing that grabs your attention is how lifelike the fleshlight actually feels and responds very similar to human skin, maybe just a touch more supple.
I chose the stamina training unit due to its rough rivets inside the canal which are designed to stimulate your penis and glands in a very intense way which can take great control for you not to get carried away and bring yourself to the point of no return.
This is the power of stamina training unit, the fact that it really forces you to control your mind and your body, because if you lose control and begin thrusting like a wild bronco it's over in a matter of seconds. This fleshlight has helped me control my mind and keep track of how the stimulation affects my pelvic muscles and recognize different levels of arousal so that I can back off when I notice increased heights of arousal.
The best way to exercise with this device, is to start of slow while paying close attention to your pelvic muscles ensuring that they don't contract without your consent. If you feel them contracting involuntarily, that is a clear sign that you should back off and regain control.
It's very natural to find that the feeling from the stamina training unit will actually be more intense than real sexual intercourse and this is what makes it so powerful to train with by making your body accustom to high levels of stimulations which make regular intercourse a piece of cake.

The Lady Bisons put themselves back in the win column in volleyball with a 3-1 match victory over visiting Austin Peay State University.
Austin Peay, a member of the Ohio Valley Conference, beat the Lady Bisons 3-1 on Aug. 26 to open the season. Tuesday night in Allen Arena the Lady Bisons won game one 30-23, lost game two 30-24 and rebounded to win game three 30-27 and game four 30-25.
The Lady Bisons are 9-14 overall, already equaling last season's total of nine victories with eight more regular season games to play. The Lady Bisons have won six of their last seven matches.
"The past two years Austin Peay had owned us," said Rosenthal. "They beat is in our first match of the season, but we had such a new team then. Our players were very confident in playing them a second time."
The Lady Bisons never trailed in game one. Austin Peay tied the game at 11-11 but that was close as the game would get. The Lady Bisons biggest lead was nine points at 22-13.
"I was very impressed with the way we came out in the first game," Rosenthal said. "We controlled that game."
Game two was a different story. Austin Peay took a 1-0 lead and built on that start. The Lady Bosons tied the game at 1-1, but they never got any closer the rest of the game. The biggest lead for Austin Peay was 10 points (22-12). The Lady Bisons refused to go away easily, chipping away at the advantage but never getting closer than four points away at 26-22.
"We got off to a little bit of a slow start in game two,' said Rosenthal. "We pulled within four points. We started doing what we needed to do to get us back in the game, but we didn't execute at the end."
Rosenthal admits he was a little frustrated with his team when they went into the dressing room between games two and three. He was especially concerned with Austin Peay's block total which was 15 for the match.
"Austin Peay did a nice job of blocking and a lot of those blocks came in the second game," Rosenthal said. "I told our players to relax and move the ball around."
In game three there were 10 lead changes and 11 ties. The Lady Bison took the lead for good at 24-23 on the way to a 30-27 decision with game point coming on a kill in the left corner by Cara Wilber.
Game four was just as close with seven ties, but only four lead changes. Austin Peay scored the first part of the game and then saw the Lady Bisons three points in a row on the way to a 5-4 advantage. After coming back to tie the game at 5-5 Austin Peay again took over the lead.
The Lady Bisons tied the game at 12-13 and then moved ahead 14-13 on a kill deep behind the Austin Peay players. The Lady Bisons led by as many as four points but Austin Peay came back to tie the game at 21-21 and then took a brief lead at 22-21 and 23-22.
The Lady Bisons tied the game at 23-23 and then took the lead at 24-23 and stayed in charge the rest of the way.
"Games three and four were close, but we were able to pull away at the end each time," Rosenthal said. "A lot of that had to do with our serving, especially by Alex Scruggs. "
Rosenthal had praise for several other players as well. Scruggs finished with 14 kills and two service aces. She posted a .393 hitting percentage.
"We're really getting a chance to see what Alex can do," said Rosenthal.
Lindsey Rutherford had a match-high 18 kills and added 12 digs. She also had a .349 hitting percentage and a team-leading three service aces.
Jessica Enderle made 10 kills and Samantha Sullivan added 10 digs.
"Lindsey played a tremendous game," said Rosenthal. :"Jessica did a great job coming into the games off the bench and switching gears."
Wilber finished with another double-double with 17 kills and 18 digs.
"Cara did not do that well in the early going," said Rosenthal. "But she really came back strong. That says something about a player who struggles but is able to come back. I'm proud of the way she did that."
Ann Mullins had a match-high 26 digs.
"I hate to say it this way, but it was a typical night for Ann," said Rosenthal. "She is a difference maker."
Catherine Johnson's stats aren't usually impressive in terms of numbers, but Rosenthal stresses that when she is called on to make a play she more often than not is going to come through for the team.
"Catherine was tremendous offensively," said Rosenthal. "She doesn't get a lot of attention, but I am proud of her and what she continues to do."
Rosenthal called the victory a team effort. He was especially pleased with the .212 hitting percentage as a team and the consistency of each game with percentages of .184, .208, .229 and .226.
"Somewhere in the 200-to-300 range is a good goal for us," said Rosenthal. "We have had .300 games in the past, but then we might follow that with a negative game. It was nice to see the consistency."
Two Austin Peay players finished with double-doubles. Amber Stein had 14 kills and 11 digs. Ashley Genslak added a team-leading 15 kills and 11 digs.
Caroline Frens recorded a team-high 19 digs. Krstine Kirch added 17 digs. Kelsey McNalley was credited with 16 digs as the Lady Governors made 81 digs in the match.
Jaimie Trill made 13 kills for Austin Peay.
Austin Peay fell to 6-14.

Hispanic interns: we are family
Early in my career, I managed the internship and cooperative education program for the University of Texas at El Paso career center, a campus where over 70% of the student population is Hispanic. As students returned to campus from their work experiences, I spent a lot of time with each of them discussing what he or she had learned from applying their academic knowledge in a practical setting. I'd often ask about their respective projects, supervisors, co-workers, and the cities where they lived. When I asked students about their organization's culture, a common response went something like "… the people I worked with were like part of a big family." And while I was delighted to know that student experiences emphasized practical work experience in their area of study, I was just as pleased to see that some employers recognized the importance of "family" to our students. Whether these companies recognized it or not, they had enhanced these students' internship experiences by tapping an important element of Hispanic culture – familism.
Familism can be described as a cultural characteristic where interests, choices, and activities are formed within the context of a larger network. In most cases, especially in Hispanic culture, this means a family network. If you ask any Hispanic American what is most valued in his or her life, family is usually the first or second choice. Familism is often illustrated as a "belief system" that incorporates loyalty, cooperation, and cohesion towards members of a family or network. Other elements of familism might include duty, support, understanding, and respect. Familism also values principles such as interdependence, camaraderie, and community. One can easily see how these attributes can lend themselves to a work setting.
In organizational environments, particularly internship opportunities, supervisors and interns assume particular roles, which are naturally found in traditional family settings. Hence, in the case of Hispanics, it would make sense to highlight this type of relationship by providing guidance and direction to student interns; mirroring the strong relationships they value in their own family networks. Assure interns are incorporated into all aspects of the department or team to which they've been assigned. Give them time to network and get to know everyone with whom they'll interact. By and large, employers can benefit greatly by extending these family tie concepts into their Hispanic interns' work environments. Aside from the positive emotional effects, employers will most likely see marked increase in their interns' performance.

Thanks for the podcast guys, enjoyed this one a lot.
Good job guys, an interesting listen, as usual.
Thanks again for taking the time to make these as they are always a pleasure. This was one of the best I've heard.
Always love when a new podcast is posted. Love the rereads! thanks guys and girl!
Thanks everyone! As always people like the re-reads way more than I initially thought. I'd like to get on a quicker pace for them, but real-life often gets in the way. I've been considering changing something about the re-read format, but would love some input from listeners. The page-by-page nature of these is what takes time. What if we continued rotating narrators between eps, but instead of going page-by-page, we talked summarily about our impressions and observations about the episodes? The high points, as it were. I'm thinking about how most people must absorb these. Without having the volume in hand, going along page-by-page with the re-read, I'm not sure what the function of going over each panel is, since we can't really describe the art. Thoughts?
I would love to hear you guys take on the wacky theories and do a bit of myth busting as you work through the material.

Different colors at the chargeport .......
Different colors at the chargeport .......
If you have flashing light green, it means some yellow is being mixed in, indicating the charging handle isn't fully inserted. It is a message to push it all the way in.
My understanding is:
Blue Solid - connected and communicating
Green Blinking - Charging
Green Solid - charged up
Red - Failure (possibly hardware)
Never seen blinking blue, but perhaps not connected properly?
There may also be an Amber color, but again, I've not seen or heard of it for the Model S (the Roadster had amber as a fault condition).
thank you, we were stressing out on it not blinking green right away, it takes a minute or two I suppose. :)
I think that there is a flashing yellow too that indicates the plug is not completely inserted.
@Captain_Zap - correct. I've added these to the delivery checklist
I also forgot to include White (or light blue) when the port is open and nothing inserted.
Has anyone seen Flashing Yellow?
Yes - if you only push the UMC in part way you get flashing yellow - or my preferred 'pulsing' yellow.
Yes there are two colors of blue. A light blue when the port is open. After the plug is correctly inserted, the port will go dark blue for about 3/4 second while the car negotiates with the power source. Then the port goes flashing green as it charges.
I got flashing yellow at a Chargepoint station once. The car was showing charging, but at 15A instead of 30. The Chargepoint charger was showing not charging. I unplugged and tried again. Same result. I finally decided to push harder on the handle, and sure enough, it clicked in all the way and showed flashing green. I had used similar chargers before and had not run into this issue.
Yeah yellow means that it knows you tried to plug it in, but the plug isn't connected properly (you didn't push it in all the way).
This is different from red in that red indicates that there is something going wrong, and the car knows it (or thinks it knows it, lol). Yellow does not indicate any problem other than you didn't insert the connector correctly/fully.
Our DS demonstrated the yellow pulsing light for us. He was extremely thorough.
This is the first time this happened to me. I plugged into a 40 Amp plug and the charge port went to a blinking blue color. I left it for about 15 minutes and it did not change to blinking green (charging). Does anyone know what this means?
Not sure. I just confirmed the delayed time charging stays at solid royal blue, so that's not it. Did you try removing it and plugging back in?
Just finished plugging X 18959 into my new 14-50 outlet. What a beauty and perfect drive! So,I have a single 50 amp circuit with a 14-50 outlet for the S and a 14-50 outlet for the X. I see two options: dial both down to 22-23 amps so the gross load is 44-46 amps, or set them up so they charge at different times at 40 amps. The problem: while the cars know when to start, they do not know not to overlap. I cannot afford to have an overlap with both charging at 40 amps because I have a Zinsco panel, so who knows whether the 50 amp breaker would trip? Hmmm...want to avoid a fiery inferno. I can manage the loads, but it would be better if the cars did it....Any ideas how to make that happen?
The new Wall Connector is designed to work in groups, sharing the available current. Get two of them, configured correctly, and you should be fine.
Hmmm....so, I have a 6/14 connector and now a new one....how to configure?

The U.S. Department of Agriculture will support 321 projects in all 50 states, plus American Samoa and Guam that help to prevent the introduction or spread of plant pests and diseases threatening U.S. agriculture and the environment. The funding, totaling $50 million, is provided by Section 10201 of the 2008 farm bill.
"We are committed to partnering with our stakeholders to achieve our mutual goals of identifying and mitigating threats to American agriculture, enhancing our emergency response capabilities, and increasing public awareness of the danger of invasive pests and diseases," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "American agriculture supports one in 12 jobs in the United States and provides safe, affordable food to consumers. I am confident that the selected projects will help our farmers, ranchers and foresters continue to flourish and build upon these successes."
Over the last three years, over 600 Section 10201 projects have helped to protect American agriculture and educate the public about the threat of invasive species. Examples include:
- Developing eLearning modules for pest screening and increasing diagnostic capacity.
- Training canine teams to conduct surveillance at ports of entry.
- Supporting the 2011 national survey of honey bee pests and diseases.
- Developing the Hungry Pests campaign -- a targeted, nationwide invasive pest public awareness campaign.
USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) made a concerted effort to solicit project suggestions from states and U.S. territories, universities, federal agencies, nongovernmental organizations, private companies and tribal organizations. APHIS will offer funding to implement 322 projects in all 50 states, plus American Samoa and Guam. These projects will strengthen protections against agricultural threats and allow states to reallocate resources to other critical programs during these tough economic times. Examples of specific projects include among others a nationwide survey of honey bee pests and diseases, the monitoring of high-risk international and domestic pathways for invasive species, applied research to combat citrus pests, the development of detector dog surveillance programs in certain high-risk agricultural states, and targeted invasive species public outreach.
The FY 2012 funding plan, list of selected projects, and general feedback are posted here.
APHIS engaged stakeholders, such as the National Plant Board, Specialty Crops Farm Bill Alliance and USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service and U.S. Forest Service, in designing the evaluation criteria for the suggestions. More than half of the suggestion reviewers came from outside of APHIS.
Suggestions were evaluated on their alignment with Section 10201 goals, the expected impact of the project, and the technical approach. In addition, the reviewers considered how the suggestions would complement ongoing USDA programs and other Section 10201 projects.
Funded projects were organized around six Section 10201 goal areas: enhancing plant pest/disease analysis and survey; targeting domestic inspection activities at vulnerable points in the safeguarding continuum; enhancing and strengthening pest identification and technology; safeguarding nursery production; enhancing mitigation capabilities; and conducting outreach and education about these issues.

Salads. *Yawn*. But that need not be the case, dear AsianSupperer!
Have you stopped to wonder why you think salads are boring? Could it be because you're largely confining yourself to some sort of green leafy vegetable, then maybe mixing it up with some different vegetables & so on? Mmmm hmmm. Exactly. Salads do not equal lettuce! Salads are really anything cold and mixed up in my book ... after all, think potato salad, or pasta salad.
Stretch your imagination. And then stretch it some more, with these 4 unique Asian salads.
Think noodles. Cold or room temperature noodles are a great base for salads. Thai Yum Woon Sen Gai is perfect in this regard. My sister practically lived off this stuff last year after I shared the recipe with her.
Think weird gelantinous substances. If you're not Korean, I can guarantee you've probably never had Dotorimuk salad. Chilled acorn paste (yes, acorn paste), cut into blocks and mixed with a savory sauce & garnished with greens. Weird but good. And don't worry, you make the acorn paste out of powder.
Think unconventional veggies. Banana flowers may not be easy to find, but papayas are. Try Vietnamese Nộm hoa chuối or Thai papaya salad -- both are tangy, spicy and fresh.
So, no more getting bored with salads. Try one of these or try them all -- only you can decide which one should win this salad-off. And if you think you can do better, go ahead -- we dare you: share your salad recipe on AsianSupper.
Yum Woon Sen Gai (ยำวุ้นเส้นไก่)

Struggling Knicks welcome lowly Mavericks
Losers of seven straight and 15 of 16, the New York Knicks host the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden with a chance for at least temporary relief against another one of the NBA's worst teams.
The Mavericks (21-46) enter the matchup marginally hotter than the Knicks -- Dallas had its two-game winning streak snapped Sunday by the league-leading Houston Rockets -- but New York (24-43) has a three-game advantage in the win column.
Or would that be disadvantage, given that all these teams are fighting for now is better lottery seeding?
Even if that is the new goal, Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek wouldn't admit to tanking, though he would admit that losing all these games has been tough, particularly for a prize that is sometimes fleeting.
"It's hard to go through," Hornacek said. "A lot of teams, players, coaches, it's tough to go through that. It does take a while. You're not always going to hit that draft pick.
"You see this year you get a (Utah rookie) Donovan Mitchell at, what he'd go, 12 or something? Thirteen? You can find players like that. Guys all play the percentages. The higher the picks, you're usually going to hit with those guys."
The Mavericks hit on one of those lower-lottery picks this season, nabbing point guard and second-leading scorer Dennis Smith Jr. with the ninth pick in the draft -- one spot after the Knicks selected rookie guard Frank Ntilikina.
Smith, though, is coming off perhaps his worst game as a pro, a four-point performance on 2-of-12 shooting from the field against the Rockets on Sunday.
He's looking to regain the form that saw him drop 20 points in three of his first 12 games.
"He's 20 years old," Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki told reporters of Smith. "His floor game is going to get better. His decision-making is going to get better. I love when he attacks. That's what he's meant to do in this league."
Like Dallas, New York is looking to see more out of its young players.
Hornacek has recently tinkered with the Knicks' lineup, giving Ntilikina and former first-round picks Emmanuel Mudiay and Trey Burke more playing time in recent weeks, as the coach has fought rumors of tanking.
"There's a difference between tanking and trying to look at the future," Hornacek told reporters recently. "We brought Trey in from the G-League and Emmanuel from another team. That's a totally separate thought process. We're seeing if they can play for us.
"We're trying to evaluate our three young point guards. Moving forward, we got to make decisions on those guys. We have to play them as many minutes as possible."
On Monday, the Mavericks learned that shooting guard Wesley Matthews will be sidelined for the rest of the season because of a broken leg, according to ESPN.com. He was injured in Saturday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
The 31-year-old Matthews averaged 12.7 points and 3.1 rebounds while shooting 38.1 percent from 3-point range this season.

The Three Source Rule and "Magic"
Problem is that Franciska was not the child of Mr. Haase. He was her step-father.
There is no "magic" number of sources to make something "right."

I have a family John and Mary Dondineau. Mary is my ancestor's sister. When I found them on the 1900 census I assumed it was the same John and Mary with their children. I found a marriage license for a younger child with Mary's last name different than all of my other documentation. I searched for more evidence. I found the older child's marriage record with the correct maiden name of the mother. Finally I found a new marriage record for John and Mary. His first wife, Mary, had died and he remarried another wife named Mary.ReplyDelete
A private email asked how I knew who Franciska "Haase"'s father really was. It is a long story which I've written about several times in other venues, so I won't repeat the whole thing here. Her supposed parents were married nearly 8 years after her birth and a search of local records located a guardianship in which Franciska was named as another man's child (and Barbara was named as his widow).ReplyDelete

A balcony is a small space, just a concrete rectangle. But it also can be a blank canvas and, with some resourcefulness, can host a diverse and thriving garden.
Janet Creelman moved to Palo Alto's Channing House seven years ago from Menlo Park, where she left behind a garden.
"I've always been a gardener, all my life," Creelman said. "One of the big attractions of moving into Channing House was that I could have a garden."
Two of the plants in Creelman's balcony garden predate her and her husband's move to Channing House.
"I brought both (the Japanese maple and the rhododendron) with me from my previous home," she said. "People sometimes say they regret that they left a plant they really loved in their home garden. I say you should at least try to transplant them and put them into a pot."
Creelman said she specifically chose an east-facing apartment at Channing House so she could continue to grow many of her favorite plants in the morning sun.
"I try to have plants that bloom year-round, by planting successively," she said. "I start with narcissus, daffodils and tulips. I have really pretty morning glories, that are just about finished, and I am about to plant a bunch of bulbs."
In addition to the limited sun, wind is another constraint on Creelman's balcony garden. She said she is selective about how she organizes her plants and keeps those sensitive to the wind in pots low to the ground.
Creelman also said she enjoys the ease with which change can be made when gardening in a small space with containers.
"It is fun to experiment when you have pots," she said. "If something doesn't look good, you can just be ruthless and throw it out."
Like Creelman, Carol Gilbert also left behind a garden in Menlo Park when she moved to The Hamilton in Palo Alto almost 10 years ago. Gilbert's home now has two balconies, where she continues her life-long love of gardening.
"I come from a long line of gardeners. My grandfather had wonderful gardens," Gilbert said. "My parents as well, they were both specialists in fuchsias and begonias. Neither of which I grow!"
Gilbert said she really enjoys the close proximity of her garden.
"I'm able to go out there and keep everything groomed within an inch of its life," she said. "I enjoy gardening (on my balcony). I like having the color out there."
Typically, Gilbert said she uses the space on her balcony for flowering plants, but she has tried using edible plants.
"I have a kumquat tree that will actually have quite a bit of fruit in three to four months," she said. "I did tomatoes one year, but they get so ugly."
Gilbert said the appearance of her balcony garden has changed throughout the years, as she tried out different color schemes and designs. First, Gilbert said she started with a primarily blue-green theme for her pots, because the trim on her balcony is dark green.
"All of the pots and saucers were (blue-green). But in the winter, when not as much is blooming, it was not colorful," Gilbert said. "So I reorganized and replaced some of my pots with Talavera ceramic, which is hand-decorated in lots of wild patterns and colors."
Height, like color, is varied in Gilbert's garden.
"You can make the most of your space by incorporating shelves, flower boxes, hanging baskets, as well as potted plants," she said.
The biggest constraint on her garden after space limitations is the sunlight, Gilbert said.
"All my potted plants are in saucers, and all the saucers are on stands with wheels and casters," she said. Mobile pots allow plants to be rotated for even sunlight exposure and also facilitate changing the look of the garden.
One of Gilbert's balconies does not have water access, so she said she chose to plant bromeliads there, which like to be periodically misted and have a small amount of water placed into their cups.
In addition to a small coiled hose, misting bottle and hand trowel, Gilbert said another tool she uses frequently in her balcony garden is actually a turkey baster.
"I also keep the turkey baster out there, because you never want to leave saucers with excess water," she said. "It's not good for the plants and is a breeding ground for mosquitoes."
Gilbert said that in spite of the small size, a balcony garden allows for creativity.
"You can tuck in solar lights, wind chimes, garden figures, hummingbird feeders. At one time or another I had almost all of these things (in my garden)," she said. "But I do not advocate becoming a gnome person. You can go too far."

CentOS: Oracle Linux Doesn't Measure Up
The Voice of Experience
Oracle's plans for its own Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) product, announced last week, follow on the heels of Red Hat derivatives put together by dozens of open source projects, including CentOS, Pie Box, and Startcom Linux. But this week, members of the influential CentOS community voiced strong pessimism over Oracle Linux.
In Q&As with LinuxPlanet, CentOS developers said they think Oracle's inspiration springs from the accomplishments of open source communities. Yet the CentOS community members also took Oracle to task about issues ranging from pricing policies and bug fixes to Oracle's failure to recognize the contributions of volunteers.
"Oracle [has] seen what has been achieved by projects such as CentOS, and [has] effectively copied the idea, as they are entitled to under the GPL," said Lance Davis, one of CentOS's volunteer developers.
"There is evidence that in places Oracle is a rebuild of CentOS, rather than of Red Hat--again as they are entitled [to] under the GPL. [But] it would be polite for Oracle to acknowledge the fact that they are derived from CentOS and make a donation to the project."
Johnny Hughes, a CentOS community member who is now testing the free version of Oracle's Enterprise Linux, told LinuxPlanet that the software is "poorly documented, extremely buggy, and of questionable security hardening."
Like other CentOS members, Hughes is also unhappy about Oracle's intentions to charge users for updates to its code through the Unbreakable Linux program.
CentOS makes both code and support available free of charge, unlike Red Hat, Oracle, and some other RHEL derivatives. Support is provided through the CentOS community via forums, mailing lists, IRC, and postings on the IRC Wiki, Davis said.
"The CentOS volunteers maintain Web sites, mailing lists, [and] a bugzilla issues tracker for themselves and another rebuild effort. [They also] populate several IRC channels 24x7 for no-charge level 1 ad hoc support. They participate in the FOSS (free and open source software) community. Freely," elaborated Russ Herrold, another CentOS developer.
"CentOS is now and will continue to be fully available--including updates--totally free of charge," according to Hughes.
Users can also obtain CentOS support through third-party companies, "many of whom have Red Hat-certified engineers providing the support," Davis said.
Hughes contended that although Oracle's plan might seem like a good deal on the surface, it won't actually turn into a bargain for companies requiring fully supported "enterprise-grade" Linux.
"I think that [the] major difference [between CentOS and Oracle Linux] is that CentOS is committed to properly providing sustained security releases and refresh updates," according to Hughes.
"[The] Oracle Linux release seems to be compelling as an alternative for a low-entry cost approach to a supportable 'Enterprise-grade' Linux solution. [But] the bargain is [really] not so compelling when one realizes that the delivered product--in the free version presently available for review--is poorly documented and of questionable security hardening," he told LinuxPlanet.
"Anyone can spin a rebuild project and hand out free ISOs, [but] adding the registration hurdle and [a] charge of $99/year per machine will create many boxes that don't get updates. This is irresponsible to the efforts of the Linux community to address security matters and may well set up many businesses-- Oracle's target market with this offering--with 'servers getting owned' targets."
In fact, some other projects are also charging their users, according to Davis, who describes CentOS as "the dominant RHEL project."
"Taolinux was a good contender." Taolinux, however, joined CentOS last year. "White Box was initially in the running but is very slow to update. Others include Scientific Linux, Startcom Linux, xOS, [and] Pie Box, most of which offer chargeable upgrades, downloads or support," Davis said, adding that, in his opinion, Scientific Linux "doesn't remain true to 100 percent rebuild."
Yet the CentOS developers don't believe their distribution is for everyone. "CentOS recommends RHEL for users that require [documented] support by their applications," Davis said.
"[But] for users who do not require that certification and full support by the third-party applications, we recommend CentOS." Right now, Hughes doesn't see how Oracle's Linux offering can succeed against RHEL and open source derivatives unless "IBM, HP and Dell--as some as some other major integrators--abandon Red Hat" in favor of the Oracle product.
"But the [Oracle product] I installed for testing [a few days ago] is not that product," he said. "It is extremely buggy."
In the free version of Oracle Linux, for example, urlgrabber is not installed by default, and the kernel is named so that third-party device drivers do not work, according to Hughes.
The CentOS developers also perceive differences between their own documentation and code modification practices and what they expect will emerge from Oracle.
"Oracle already does not externally mark their RPMS [in ways] that are different. So it is not easy to tell that they have changed," said Hughes. In contrast, CentOS "makes [the] changes clear in product naming."
CentOS is an "enterprise-class Linux distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by a prominent North American enterprise Linux vendor (PNAELV)," according to Davis.
"CentOS conforms fully with the upstream vendor's redistribution policy and aims to be 100 percent binary compatible," Davis said.
"As is the nature of FOSS, many eyes peruse source code and find bugs, and those found by CentOS users find their way upstream, making the distributions more secure and bug free in the future. [But] CentOS is careful to document and minimize any changes made to upstream code," Hughes agreed.
For his part, Herrold detailed the software development processes used by CentOS community members. First, the developers assemble the source RPMs from another PNAELV "and remove all trademarks, etc., to avoid confusion," he said.
"The CentOS volunteers also add some functionality to use the yum package updater tool. [They] then compile the SRPMS and solve build issues. [providing] a proper and complete build environment. They add back in missing developmental libraries [which the] other PNAELV omitted. [They] validate their builds using comparison tools. They sign the binaries with a proper CPG key, to permit safe distribution through the insecure Internet," LinuxPlanet was told.
CentOS also runs a large global-wide mirror system, tracking security and feature enhancements and "promptly issuing updates and advisories," according to Herrold.
Oracle, on the other hand, could run into trouble with forking, if changes to the RHEL code base are not handled well, according to these CentOS developers.
"There are items that have to be changed, related to the way updates are done, and also regarding trademarks, etc. [But] other than that, CentOS is very careful to submit fixes back to the upstream provider and wait for the fixes to trick back down," said Hughes.
"For most issues, we are the same as upstream until they fix them. To do otherwise is causing a fork. A fork can cause issues. That is why CentOS has separate repositories for [things like] CentOSPlus, FastTrack, CSGFs, etc."
To help minimize changes to the Red Hat code base, extras such as PHP5 are maintained as options in the CentOSPlus repository, according to Davis.
"So [a] normal CentOS install is 100 percent identical to upstream, or as near as it can be given required trademark changes," Davis told LinuxPlanet.
"The standards--things like LSB (Linux Standard Base)--can help. However, when the first major change is rolled into Unbreakable Linux that is not in RHEL--and is not accepted into RHEL--there will be a fork," Hughes predicted.

(CNN) -- With her decades-long dream of swimming from Cuba to Florida achieved, Diana Nyad is setting her sights on her next challenge.
"I am through with the ocean," she said on CNN's "New Day" Tuesday. "Never going to be seasick again! See how happy I look?"
Still, she's off to do something few other people could or would. Nyad plans to swim for 48 hours in New York City.
A special pool will be installed for the October 8-10 event, a fundraiser for people who lost their homes in Superstorm Sandy.
"Then we're going to take that pool to the Boston Marathon at the anniversary of that terror attack, and we're going to swim there to help those people recover," she said. After that, she'll travel to Moore, Oklahoma, which was ravaged by a massive tornado earlier this year.
It's "a nice pool with no waves, no jellyfish, no seasickness," Nyad joked. "Those 48 hours should be a piece of cake," she told CNN's Kate Bolduan.
Nyad's nearly 53-hour journey in her fifth attempt to cross what she calls "a treacherous stretch of water" ended in victory Monday. Her first effort was 35 years ago, when was in her 20s; now she's 64.
After the previous attempts, people had emphasized to her that "it's the journey, it's not the destination," she said Tuesday. "It's all the self-discovery and the wonderful team. And I agree. But I'll tell you something: This time, the destination really brought me into a state of euphoria."
Not that she has instantly recovered from what the historic swim did to her.
The waves were "tough," and a special facial mask designed to protect her from jellyfish stings led her to "take in a lot of saltwater," she said.
"I was very sick."
"I'm a little beat up," she said. She has facial lacerations and effects of saltwater exposure inside her mouth. But "the emotional high is wiping out any physical problem."
People told her that swimming from Cuba to Key West, Florida, was "impossible," she says. People encouraged her to try friendlier waters, such as the Maldives or Guam. "But Cuba was in my heart, and when I look at the map, that's what spoke to my imagination. So I didn't want to give up on it. And this time I got lucky."
"The Gulf Stream was my friend, and usually it's not," she said. "Usually you're out there going in circles, going east of the Bahamas. This time the Gulf Stream went north, right where I was going."
She was surrounded by a team of 35 people along the way "working like a machine," Nyad said. Kayakers helped keep away sharks, and a jellyfish expert was in the water with her, scooping up jellyfish to keep them away from her.
Her handler, Bonnie Stoll, helped get her "somehow through the tough moments," Nyad said.
Still, it's "a very isolating experience," she said.
"When you're feeling good and you're cruising through the daylight hours, you're singing Neil Young songs to yourself and counting in French and German and Spanish, just passing the time."
But, she said, "I had two nights of full suffering." At those times, "You're not thinking of anything. You're just coping and surviving."
At a news conference later Tuesday morning, a relaxed Nyad thanked her team and joked as she recounted her swim. On Sunday night, she said, she hallucinated she was seeing the Taj Mahal.
Recalling a previous attempt, she talked about hallucinating while looking at a streamer of lights that was meant to show her where her support boat was so that she'd know in what direction to swim at night. She remembers telling Stoll, from the water, that she saw people walking on a yellow brick road, singing "Heigh-Ho."
Stoll responded, "That's where you're going; follow them." Nyad said, drawing laughter.
The people who have followed her efforts closely for years "aren't sports hounds," she told CNN. "... They're human beings who are dealing with their own heartaches and their own obstacles in life, and they want to know how to get through."
Nyad said she represents a commitment never to give up on something "important to your heart -- you look and see what's inside yourself and you find a way."
And her age speaks to baby boomers, she said. "I think people are looking to me to say, 'Hell no, I'm not old.'
"When I'm 90 I'll get in a rocking chair, look at the sunset. But look how my friends who are in their 60s are vibrant, at their intellectual peak -- I'm proving that you can even be at your physical peak at this age."

Sia + the Jonas Brothers Each Cover 'Diamonds' by Rihanna
The woman behind 'Diamonds' is coming to the forefront! Though Rihanna brought it to No. 1, Sia penned the hypnotic tune for the Bajan beauty, and now she's singing it herself. And she's not the only one!
Clad in a black gown and accompanied only by a piano, Sia took the stage and sang the hit she wrote with Benny Blanco. Stoic and still, Sia belted out the tune with feeling, but without movement, at the Norweigan-American Achievement Award ceremony on Nov. 28.
Who else besides the eccentric Aussie powerhouse covered the tune? The Jonas Brothers covered 'Diamonds' during a Nov. 27 show at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood. Their acoustic rendition was more guitar-driven than piano, but still melancholy and lighter-worthy.
Noticeably absent from the JoBros performance? Joe's Movember mustache. Not going to lie -- we don't think anyone is going to miss that thing.
Whose rendition of Rihanna's hit do you like best? Tell us in the comments!

Astros win in Detroit for first time since 2000
Detroit, MI – Carlos Corporan doubled in the go-ahead run during the top of the ninth inning to give the Houston Astros a much-needed 7- 5 victory over the Detroit Tigers in the finale of a three-game set from Comerica Park.
Corporan also had a solo home run as part of a 2-for-3 performance, with J.D. Martinez adding a three-run blast to help the Astros halt a six-game skid and pick up their first win in seven matchups with Detroit this season.
The triumph was Houston's first at Comerica Park since July 14, 2000.
Hector Ambriz (1-2) recorded the final out of the eighth to notch the win, with Jose Veras working out of a bases-loaded jam in the ninth to register his fifth save of the year.
Avisail Garcia slugged his first major league homer, a three-run shot in the second inning, for Detroit, while Matt Tuiasosopo finished 3-for-3 with an RBI single in the setback.
Tigers starter Max Scherzer allowed five runs while striking out seven in a seven-inning no-decision. Al Alburquerque (0-1) was hung with the loss after permitting the eventual winning run to reach in the ninth.
Alburquerque walked Martinez on five pitches to begin the final inning, prompting Tigers manager Jim Leyland to summon Phil Coke out of the pen. Corporan then drove the lefty's first pitch into the gap in left center to bring home pinch-runner Brandon Barnes and break a 5-5 tie.
"One [pitch] gets away from me and he gets the barrel on it," said Coke of Corporan's double. "I tip my cap to him for hitting a mistake pitch."
The Astros got some additional insurance when Trevor Crowe, running for Corporan, moved to third on a sacrifice bunt before crossing the plate on a Matt Dominguez sac fly.
Veras made it quite interesting during Detroit's final at-bat, however, by walking a pair of hitters and hitting Torii Hunter with a pitch to fill the sacks and bring the dangerous Miguel Cabrera to the plate with two out.
"I've been on the other side with him for many of those shots," said Astros manager Bo Porter, a former coach for part of Cabrera's tenure with the Florida Marlins. "It's one of those things where you see him walking up there, you say to yourself, 'Oh boy, this is a tough situation to be in'. But Veras made a good pitch, Cabrera put a good swing on it and Barnes-ey made an even better play."
The reigning American League Triple Crown winner launched a pitch deep to right center, with Barnes making the catch just inches shy of the wall to enable Houston to prevail.
Scherzer had yielded just one hit -- Corporan's homer in the second -- through the first three innings, but faltered in the fourth as the Astros overcame a 4-1 deficit.
Jake Elmore started the rally with a leadoff double in front of Carlos Pena's RBI single and a walk to Chris Carter. That brought up Martinez, who crushed Scherzer's hanging slider well into the seats to put the Astros on top by a 5-4 count.
Scherzer settled down thereafter, and the Tigers drew even with an unearned run in the sixth.
With two out, Houston shortstop Marwin Gonzalez booted a grounder off the bat of Victor Martinez to extend the inning, and Jhonny Peralta and Tuiasosopo came through with consecutive base hits to tie the game and chase Astros starter Dallas Keuchel.
Corporan's solo homer in the top of the second gave Houston a 1-0 edge, but the Tigers answered with a four-run bottom of the frame highlighted by Garcia's monster shot that cleared the Astros' bullpen in left-center field.
Keuchel had retired the first two hitters of the inning before walking Peralta. Tuiasosopo and Brayan Pena followed with back-to-back singles to forge a 1-1 tie and set the stage for Garcia's first big league homer.
Keuchel was charged with five runs -- four earned -- allowed on seven hits over 5 2/3 innings of work.
Game Notes
Houston had lost in six straight visits to Comerica and had been outscored 50-12 in its six previous meetings with Detroit this season ... Tigers first baseman Prince Fielder had a string of 24 consecutive games reaching base safely at home end after going 0-for-4 ... Carlos Pena's RBI single extended his hit streak to five games ... Elmore ended 2-for-4 in his second game filling in for regular second baseman Jose Altuve, who was placed on the bereavement list by Houston on Tuesday.

I think, some books are not meant to be squeezed into a bookshelf, after we read them, and this is one of them. What I would like to do, and this is meant for people, who have and maintain a blog, is to pick randomly one person from the comments to send this book too, for reading and passing it on, in the same manner. I wonder how far and to what countries this book will go? If you are interested to play this little game, please leave a comment (even if you don't want to play, you can leave a comment ;o) ) We will need to link from where to book has come, and where it will go, so we all can follow it around.
I thought I'll insert a sheet of paper, with name and blog address on it, so people who'll get the book, can add their name and blog address. I'm also knitting Li's scarf for charity, the pattern is in this book, or you can get it from her, by asking for it in a comment.
It's not obligatory to knit something from the book (there are nine patterns in there), but if you want to, it would be nice. I'm knitting this scarf with Cherry Tree Hill Super Glitz. It's merino wool, with a strand of glitter, DK weight, and I'm using 4mm needles. I've cast on 42 stitches, because the yarn is thinner as recommended in the pattern. It will need blocking to open up the ribbing a bit, it's reversible, a fun stitch pattern. You can't really see it from the short piece on the picture, but the pink is doing a zig-zag in an orderly fashion, not just boring pooling, which I really hate. Still it's slow going. I think the herringbone ribbing draws it together, and I think I could have even used 4.5mm, but I'm NOT frogging it for that. Who will this scarf be knit for? I don't know yet. I hope I'll find someone in need of a warm scarf. It sure is cold enough right now around here. I hope I'll be done with it, at the end of the week.
So, I think this was a long enough post for getting back into the groove. I'll be back with FO's pictures. It's good to be back, and I hope I'll hear from you. By the way, if you have suggestions on how to make the "book forwarding" more interesting, or easier to follow, lets hear it too! :o)

DTE Energy addresses temporary lighting failure at Comerica Park
DETROIT -- DTE Energy's preliminary investigation of the temporary lighting failure that occurred at Comerica Park during Major League Baseball's American League Championship Series (ALCS), has found there was a cable failure in the area near the stadium, which caused the problem.
The lights in the stadium were out for approximately 20 minutes beginning at approximately 4:41 p.m. Power was restored in the stadium at around 5:00 p.m.
The cable failure caused a voltage reduction, which tripped the lights in the stadium. The momentary sag in voltage was an isolated incident.
DTE Energy maintains two independent electrical feeds for precisely this kind of an event. Both feeds to the park continued to provide power during the incident.
"We've identified the cause of the disturbance and we worked with officials at Comerica Park to resolve the issue quickly," said Steve Kurmas, President and Chief Operating Officer for DTE Electric, a unit of DTE Energy. "We regret the interruption."
About DTE Energy

Mile End's Chicken Soup with Soup Mandel
Get the Recipes
Once the calendar flips to September, my mind begins drifting to fall. It matters little what the thermometer reads, the post-Labor Day season is a time for apples, hearty greens, and, of course, chicken soup. For me, the magical elixir cures not only cold symptoms, but back-to-school (or work) jitters as well. In The Mile End Cookbook, Noah and Rae Bernamoff present a simple yet full-bodied and rich take on the classic.
The basic soup takes whole chickens and marries them with carrots, parsnips, celery, and onion over a long gentle simmer. After the base is cooked, they present myriad options for accompaniments, the most simple being Soup Mandel. Mandel are similar to oyster crackers, but souped up with schmaltz and lots of black pepper.
Why I picked this recipe: As a non-New Yorker, this is actually the only dish I've ever eaten from Mile End and I was eager to re-create it in my kitchen.
What worked: Because the broth is made from whole birds, the final soup rich is rich, silky, and jam-packed with chicken flavor. Saving the chicken meat for the soup is a great time-saver as well (and it means you won't feel like you've wasted all that meat).
What didn't: I'm not a huge fan of vegetable batons in soup as they're awkward to eat. Also, the soup mandel dough doesn't firm up too much overnight in the fridge; a few hours of chilling should work just fine.
Suggested tweaks: I couldn't find 2 1/2 pound chickens in my grocery store (the recipe calls for three of them), so I used two birds that were around 3 1/2 pounds each. This worked just fine. The Bernamoffs suggest including egg noodles, matzo balls, and/or kreplach (dumplings made with livers, skin, and fat) in the soup as well. If you've got extra time on your hands, they all seem worthy of inclusion.
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of The Mile End Cookbook to give away.

CoQ10 (Ubiquinone) is an important energy-releasing nutrient naturally produced in the human body. It is the cellular sparkplug that allows the body to use the calories from food and convert them into energy. It produces energy in the cell. It is a mitochondrial activator, allowing the cells to produce more ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate), the body's source of chemical energy. CoQ10 offers cardiovascular support for those with blood pressure already within normal range, for the elderly, and for additional antioxidant support of the health and function of your heart, brain, gums, liver and kidneys.
In the young and healthy, CoQ10 is created naturally – however, as we age, these levels tend to decrease. CoQ10 levels may also become depleted in those with compromised immune systems or in those taking certain medications (see Drug Nutrient Interactions Chart). In these cases, supplementation can be highly beneficial. What's more, CoQ10 is not found in high levels in food.
For great discounts, a superb assortment of top-grade nutraceuticals and nutritional supplements, and access to our professional nutritionists, look no further – great health starts right here at InVite Health. To ask a question or to purchase your Coenzyme Q10 (100mg) Chewable, call us today at (800) 632-0541 or click here to find a store near you!

What is Ubiquinol? Ubiquinol is the most technologically advanced form of Coenzyme Q10. It is all-natural and exactly the same as the CoQ10 that your body creates naturally when you are young and healthy. CoQ10 is the spark plug that allows every cell in the body make and utilize energy from the calories consumed through the diet. Taking Ubiquinol can improve metabolism and overall efficiency, turning back the clock of an aging body.
Where does Ubiquinol come from? When you are young and healthy, you make the same version of Coenzyme Q10, known as Ubiquinol. But with age, or in the case of a serious health condition, this ability gradually reduces. Our Ubiquinol is made in the United States from a natural fermentation process.

It's true what Dr Selassie says about CoQ10 being good for your mouth. I have been taking the chewable CoQ10 and my gums have stopped bleeding. I also take all InVite dental products.

Declan Rudd signs new contract at Norwich before joining Preston on loan
Norwich's Declan Rudd has signed a contract extension that will keep him at Carrow Road until the summer of 2015.
Last Updated: 18/06/13 12:21pm
City have also confirmed that the 22-year-old will return to Preston on a season-long loan after spending the second half of the previous campaign with the Lilywhites.
"I've been at the club since I was eight years old so to get another contract extension is brilliant, I'm really pleased with it," Rudd told the official Canaries website.
"It means that I'm still around close to home and at a great club like Norwich.
"It went really well at Preston last year - I think we only lost two games when I was there and we were unbeaten at home. I really enjoyed it and that's one of the main reasons why I wanted to get the contract sorted and get back there again.
"Working here with Dave Watson is great given the stature of coach that he is, but you need to play football. As a young goalkeeper that's the most important thing. I'm really looking forward to the season starting."
Norwich manager Chris Hughton added: "Declan is one of our young talents so therefore for him to get the opportunity to play regular football for a season is a benefit to both him and us.
"He clearly made a good impression during his spell with Preston last season and we hope he can make a similar impact again."

Refreshing summer recipes from Irish chef Michael Gilligan: Watermelon Lemonade and Citrus Mozzarella Salad.
Everyone knows that the "dog days of summer" occur during the hottest and muggiest part of the season but I was wondering where that saying comes from. Webster defines "dog days" as ...
1: the period between early July and early September when the hot, sultry weather of summer usually occurs in the northern hemisphere;
2: a period of stagnation or inactivity.
But where does the term come from? Why do we call the hot, sultry days of summer "dog days?"
In ancient times, when the night sky was unobscured by artificial lights and smog, different groups of peoples in different parts of the world drew images in the sky by "connecting the dots" of stars. The images drawn were dependent upon the culture: The Chinese saw different images than the Native Americans, who saw different pictures than the Europeans. These star pictures are now called constellations, and the constellations that are now mapped out in the sky come from our European ancestors.
They saw images of bears (Ursa Major and Ursa Minor), twins (Gemini), a bull (Taurus), and others, including dogs (Canis Major and Canis Minor).
The brightest of the stars in Canis Major (the big dog) is Sirius, which also happens to be the brightest star in the night sky. In fact, it is so bright that the ancient Romans thought that the earth received heat from it. Look for it in the southern sky (viewed from northern latitudes) during January.
In the summer, however, Sirius, the "dog star," rises and sets with the sun. During late July, Sirius is in conjunction with the sun, and the ancients believed that its heat added to the heat of the sun, creating a stretch of hot and sultry weather. They named this period of time, from 20 days before the conjunction to 20 days after, "dog days" after the Dog Star.
The conjunction of Sirius with the sun varies somewhat with latitude. And the "precession of the equinoxes" (a gradual drifting of the constellations over time) means that the constellations today are not in exactly the same place in the sky as they were in ancient Rome. Today, dog days occur during the period between July 3 and August 11. Although it is certainly the warmest period of the summer, the heat is not due to the added radiation from a far-away star, regardless of its brightness. No, the heat of summer is a direct result of the earth's tilt.
So now we know that let's make some dishes to cool us down that doesn't involve slaving over a hot stove shall we?
Refreshing Watermelon Lemonade Recipe
Celebrate the first day of summer with this refreshing drink.
I like to add a splash of gin to mine because that's how I roll.
- Juice from 9 lemons
- 1 ½ cups superfine sugar (you can use regular, but this dissolves quickly)
- 4 ½ cups water
- 2 cups watermelon puree (process seedless watermelon chunks in a blender until smooth)
- 2 lemons, sliced
- Ice cubes (try using lemonade or the watermelon puree to make your ice cubs; that way you don't water down the drink)
Combine lemon juice and sugar in a large pitcher and stir to dissolve sugar.
Slowly pour in water and continue stirring until ingredients are blended.
Taste, and add sugar if desired.
Refrigerate to chill, and just before service stir in the watermelon puree.
Use sliced lemons as garnish and serve over ice.
Summer Citrus Mozzarella Salad Recipe
Celebrate the first day of summer with this refreshing salad.
- 3 large navel oranges
- 2 red grapefruits
- 1 lb fresh mozzarella, sliced ¼ inch thick circles and then cut in half (semi-circles)
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
- Black pepper, to taste
Peel citrus and divide into segments (try to remove as much white pith as possible).
On a serving plate, arrange citrus and mozzarella slices, alternating between the two for colorful appearance.
Drizzle with basil and olive oil, and grind black pepper over the top of the salad just before service.
Mothers have a day called Mother's Day, Fathers have a day called Father's Day so what day do single men have?
