Expect to see the Phillies use Raul Ibanez as the DH for at least Game 1 of the World Series against lefty CC Sabathia.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi is undecided about going with a three-game rotation. Chad Gaudin could get a start in Game 4. No doubt, Girardi might be thinking he's pressing his luck by going with Sabathia on three days rest again.
Girardi also said the Eric Hinske could be activated for the Series. The Yankees may also opt to add a reliever. To accommodate, the Yankees would likely go back to carrying two catchers instead of three.
Jose Molina is still on for starting behind the plate to catch AJ Burnett. Don't expect the Yankees to use Jorge Posada as the DH when Molina catches because if he has to replace him behind the plate the Yankees would lose the DH.
After a horrendous regular season in which he blew 11 save opportunities, Brad Lidge returned to form in the playoffs with three saves and a victory without giving up a run. A strong Lidge gives the Phillies a similar presence to what the Yankees enjoy with Mariano Rivera. Of course, nobody matches Rivera, but if Lidge is on his game and the Phillies lead late, the odds are against a blown save that would bring Rivera into the game.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. --- Tennessee Tech starter David Hess and Southeast Missouri starter Dylan Lynn were on their game Sunday afternoon as SEMO edge out a 3-1 Ohio Valley Conference victory as both teams combined for just 11 hits.
Lynn (3-0) was the story of the game as he threw a complete game while allowing just one run, on six hits while striking out eight. Hess (2-4) in turn, threw an eight-inning complete game as he struck out a career-high 10 batters, while giving up three runs, two of which were earned.
The Redhawks struck first as Taylor Heon drove in the game's first run with an RBI-single in the second inning. SEMO added an additional run in the third off a sacrifice fly from Jason Tierney and another in the fifth off a sacrifice fly from Trenton Moses in the fifth.
Trailing 3-0 through five, the Golden Eagles finally got a run off Lynn with an RBI-single from Chad Hayes in the top of the sixth, but that was all TTU could muster as Lynn finished his complete game with a 3-1 win.
Kenton Parmley had his 47-game hitting streak snapped by David Hess as he flied out twice and reached on a fielder's choice and was hit by a pitch.
The Golden Eagles (17-22, 7-8 OVC) begin a seven-game homestand Tuesday as they host Middle Tennessee at 6 p.m.

Making the items I sell in this shop takes up 90% of my work related time and I'll be honest, answering messages is not my strong suit... When I have to brake away from my work shop to answer questions that can be answered in the listing or by reading the policies, it takes away from the momentum of creating the items that are ordered. If you have an time sensitive matter please message me using "URGENT" in the memo section or, better yet, directly from your order, and I will be sure to see the message. I usually get to responding to messages at the end of the day but sometimes my work day doesn't end until the wee hours of the next morning so please be patient.

Aging population blamed for Wisconsin job woes
MILWAUKEE -- A new report blames Wisconsin's aging population and lack of business start-ups for job growth that has lagged behind other states since the mid-1990s.
The Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance report shows Wisconsin consistently beat national job growth rates in the late 1980s and early 1990s. But since 1996, the state has outperformed the nation in creating jobs just 27 percent of the time.
Between 2002 and 2011, Wisconsin's growth in workers between 18 and 64 trailed 33 other states. The report says the state's aging population and lack of business start-ups are leaving Wisconsin without enough working-age adults and enough new companies to sustain growth seen in other states.
The Journal Sentinel says the alliance found the rate of business start-ups averaged about 2 percent in 2011, ranking Wisconsin 49th among states.

In stock
Replacement 220V Motor for Mulitfan Model 4E35Q.
Replacement 220V Motor for Mulitfan Model 4E35Q.
When selecting a replacement part for your Multifan you will need to determine if your fan is a "Standard" or "Q-Style" Fan. To do so, please ask yourself the following questions:
- Does your fan have an aluminum frame (Standard) or a fiberglass frame (Q-Style)?
- Does it have "Q" printed on the motor plate? If so, you have a Q-style Fan; if not it is a Standard Fan.
- What is the distance between the cooling fins on the motor? (Note: Not all fan motors have fins).
3/4" = Standard Fan
3/8" = Q-Style Fan
- Does the arm have a foot attached? If so, your fan is a Standard Fan; if not your fan is a Q-Style.

Thank's a lot for this great tuto!
nice tutorial, but i think some colourtul text is looking nice.....
as u wish...........
@Rem - See the screenshot in step 14. Make sure that you have the "cap" on.ReplyDelete
nice tutorial you have here, ... but im having a problem in last step in effect > pixelate > mezotint the object im trying to give the effect is covering the object below with a white filling, how can i fix this? thanksReplyDelete
@Anonymous - Using Illustrator's mezotint doesn't give you an option to use transparency, so the last step of setting the mode to multiply and lowering the opacity is needed to get rid of the what filling. Another option you could use is to download my grunge textures from a previous post and using that as a pattern fill.ReplyDelete
Thank you for this post. I clearly understood well your tutorial. Maybe I can experiment more on this stuff and I'll let you know guys. Las Vegas Web DesignReplyDelete

From 1948, Volkswagen became an important element, symbolically and economically, of West German regeneration.
according to whom?
Heinrich Nordhoff
(1899–1968), a former senior manager at who had overseen civilian and military vehicle production in the 1930s and 1940s, was recruited to run the factory in 1948. In 1949, Major Hirst left the company—now re-formed as a trust controlled by the West German government and government of the State of
Lower Saxony
. The "Beetle" sedan or "peoples' car" Volkswagen is the Type 1. Apart from the introduction of the
Volkswagen Type 2
LK Bennett Leather RoundToe Booties Hard Wearing 56rJE3xY
(van, pick-up and camper), and the VW Karmann Ghia sports car, Nordhoff pursued the one-model policy until shortly before his death in 1968.
Volkswagens were first exhibited and sold in the United States in 1949, but sold only two units in America that first year. On entry to the U.S. market, the VW was briefly sold as a Victory Wagon . Volkswagen of America was formed in April 1955 to standardise sales and service in the United States. Production of the Type 1 Volkswagen Beetle increased dramatically over the years, the total reaching one million in 1955.
The UK's first official Volkswagen Importer, Colborne Garages of Ripley, Surrey , started with parts for the models brought home by soldiers returning from Germany. [19]
Canadian Motors, Limited brought in Canada's first shipment of Volkswagens on 10 July 1952 (shipping order 143075) [ citation needed ] . The order consisted of 12 vehicles, (3) model 11C, a black, green, and sandcolor (3) 11GS, a chestnut brown and two azure blue, (2) 24A-M51 in red, (1)21A in blue, (1) 23A in blue, (1) 22A beige color, and one ambulance [ citation needed ] . Volkswagens were seen in Canada for the first time at the Canadian National Exhibition in August 1952 and were accepted enthusiastically. (At least one Type 2 bus from this order still exists, and is currently in France undergoing restoration) [ citation needed ] . The first shipment for Volkswagen Canada reached Toronto in early December 1952. (At least one Type 1 from this first shipment still exists, and was driven on a nationwide tour for Volkswagen Canada's 60th year of business festivities in 2012) [ citation needed ] .
So there you have it. Now that I know it is possible I can look up the phrase "I've done this before, I know it works" or something like that. But it is possible to use your bitcoins here in germany to buy food at the local grocery store. It is certainly not the most efficient method but we are still in the early stages and I will e-mail
Brunello Cucinelli Leather MoniliEmbellished Wedges Discount Top Quality 3FVf5vd6cW
to see if they can e-mail something a bit more useful. I'd love to be able to sit in my car before going into the store and order my card and be able to pull up the attachment by the time I get to the cash register. I might still be able to do that with the right apps on my phone. I will likely do most of my food shopping this way. I do like their flavored chicken wings. But I will also still buy some food online once in a while.
In the US you can do the exact same thing with the Whole Foods gift card and Target gift cards at
Cheap Sale Best Place Best Place Laurence Dacade Glitter Ankle Boots Clearance Pre Order Free Shipping Collections UWsqja2v
and Cheap Pay With Paypal Riccardo Tisci x Nike Dunk Lux Sneakers Pre Order Online Big Sale For Sale Visit Cheap Price RuYNMW
as I reviewed in my gift cards post.But it is actually more convenient because there is an app for it. My friend has used it in the US and says it is quite easy (and the cashiers actually know what to do).
Overall I am very glad to find cardfy.com and I highly recommend it. They have a lot more gift card for other stores in germany but I don't shop at most of those stores as I can buy most things on Amazon that I can get at those stores, cheaper. I do wish they had some restaurant gift cards though germany is mainly made up of small restaurants with very few franchises. And it would be nice if they had an app so I could just redeem the card on my phone to use in the store without manipulating the pdf.
And I know that most of my readers are not from germany, but I hope I help people realize that with a little bit of ingenuity and thought you can figure out how to pay for things in your daily life from your stash of bitcoins. The fact that I can pay my rent with bitcoins (all of my utilities are included in my rent) and I can buy food with my bitcoins and anything on Amazon, I can certainly live on just bitcoins. My last step is paying for gas for my car with bitcoins but that is something for another day.
Thank you for reading and please share this blog post with othersif you think it was interesting or could be helpful to other Bitcoin users.
Update: I went again today to buy groceries. This time I just bought my gift card and downloaded it on the phone while outside of the store. It was delivered within 1 or 2 minutes and I was able to open it on my phone. I zoomed to the gift card and was able to view it just as easily as when I photoshopped it. The lady at the counter started looking at it suspiciously and I told her that I've done this before and motioned for her to scan it. She scanned it and she appeared pleasantly surprised when she saw that it worked. Fortunately people tend to work the same shifts so I can just go back to her every Saturday and no longer have any problems getting my groceries.

Excerpted from White on Red, Eds. Black, Nancy B. and Bette S. Wiedman, New York; Kennikat Press, 1976.
Although Mark Twain's skepticism increasingly led him to question American pieties, he remained a child of the frontier in his most memorable treatments of the Indian. In his first book, Innocents Abroad (1869), he showed that he could muster critical detachment; describing Moorish prisoners in Tangiers, who must make mats and baskets, he comments: "This thing of utilizing crime savors of civilization." Yet, in another mood, he speaks irritably of Syrians and their sore-eyed children, who remind him of Indians: "These people about us had other peculiarities which I had noticed in the noble red man, too: they were infested with vermin, and the dirt had caked on them till it amounted to bark." He calls the Bedouins "Digger Indians," a mythical tribe invented by Americans to give full expression to their contempt.
The selection excerpted below, from Roughing lt, Mark Twain's account of his western adventures, presents an image of the Indian that powerfully and explicitly challenges the literary "noble savage." Its tone of intense bitterness, relieved only at the end by a bit of literary criticism and an amusing swipe at railroad employees, shocks the reader, who knows that Mark Twain here is expressing attitudes on which his countrymen were acting. A more sustained piece of literary criticism can be found in "Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses" (1895). In a broadly comic sketch, "Niagara" (1871), Mark Twain exhibits a naive narrator speaking to "Indian" souvenir hawkers (really Irish immigrants) in language learned from fiction.
Mark Twain's inheritance of frontier prejudice is perfectly clear in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876). The Indian blood of the half-breed, Injun Joe, is made to account for his vicious vengeance on young Dr. Robinson. He stands for evil in the boys' world; when he dies, in a cave triple-locked by the judge, an enormous "weight of dread" drops from Tom, and the author mocks those "sappy women" who would have had Joe pardoned.
Three years later, in a passage eliminated from the published version of A Tramp Abroad (1879), Mark Twain returns to a more skeptical use of Indian material. In "The French and the Comanches," he satirizes the highly civilized Europeans and their religion, by showing how they outdid the Indians in refinements of brutality. One American prejudice vanquished the other.
From Roughing It, 1872
On the morning of the sixteenth day out from St. Joseph we arrived at the entrance of Rocky Canyon, two hundred and fifty miles from Salt Lake. It was along in this wild country somewhere, and far from any habitation of white men, except the stage stations, that we came across the wretchedest type of mankind I have ever seen, up to this writing. I refer to the Goshoot Indians. From what we could see and all we could learn, they are very considerably inferior to even the despised Digger Indians of California; inferior to all races of savages on our continent; inferior to even the Tierra del Fuegans; inferior to the Hottentots, and actually inferior in some respects to the Kytches of Africa. Indeed, I have been obliged to look the bulky volumes of Wood's Uncivilized Races of Men clear through in order to find a savage tribe degraded enough to take rank with the Coshoots. I find but one people fairly open to that shameful verdict. It is the Bosjesmans (Bushmen) of South Africa. Such of the Goshoots as we saw, along the road and hanging about the stations, were small, lean, "scrawny" creatures; in complexion a dull black like the ordinary American negro; their faces and hands bearing dirt which they had been hoarding and accumulating for months, years, and even generations, according to the age of the proprietor; a silent, sneaking, treacherous looking race; taking note of everything, covertly, like all the other "Noble Red Men" that we (do not) read about, and betraying no sign in their countenances; indolent, everlastingly patient and tireless, like all other Indians; priceless beggars-for if the beggar instinct were left out of an Indian he would not "go," any more than a clock without a pendulum; hungry, always hungry, and yet never refusing anything that a hog would eat, though often eating what a hog would decline; hunters, but having no higher ambition than to kill and eat jackass rabbits, crickets and grasshoppers, and embezzle carrion from the buzzards and cayotes; savages who, when asked if they have the common Indian belief in a Great Spirit show a something which almost amounts to emotion, thinking whisky is referred to; a thin, scattering race of almost naked black children, these Goshoots are, who produce nothing at all, and have no villages, and no gatherings together into strictly defined tribal communitiesŁa people whose only shelter is a rag cast on a bush to keep off a portion of the snow, and yet who inhabit one of the most rocky, wintry, repulsive wastes that our country or any other can exhibit.
The Bushmen and our Goshoots are manifestly descended from the selfsame gorilla, or kangaroo, or Norway rat, whichever animal-Adam the Darwinians trace them to.
One would as soon expect the rabbits to fight as the Goshoots, and yet they used to live off the offal and refuse of the stations a few months and then come some dark night when no mischief was expected, and burn down the buildings and kill the men from ambush as they rushed out. And once, in the night, they attacked the stage-coach when a District Judge, of Nevada Territory, was the only passenger, and with their first volley of arrows (and a bullet or two) they riddled the stage curtains, wounded a horse or two and mortally wounded the driver. The latter was full of pluck, and so was his passenger. At the driver's call Judge Mott swung himself out, clambered to the box and seized the reins of the team, and away they plunged, through the racing mob of skeletons and under a hurtling storm of missiles. The stricken driver had sunk down on the boot as soon as he was wounded, but had held on to the reins and said he would manage to keep hold of them until relieved. And after they were taken from his relaxing grasp, he lay with his head between Judge Mott's feet, and tranquilly gave directions about the road; he said he believed he could live till the miscreants were outrun and left behind, and that if he managed that, the main difficulty would be at an end, and then if the Judge drove so and so (giving directions about bad places in the road, and general course) he would reach the next station without trouble. The Judge distanced the enemy and at last rattled up to the station and knew that the night's perils were done; but there was no comrade-in-arms for him to rejoice with, for the soldierly driver was dead.
Let us forget that we have been saying harsh things about the Overland drivers, now. The disgust which the Goshoots gave me, a disciple of Cooper and a worshiper of the Red ManŁeven of the scholarly savages in The Last of the Mohicans, who are fittingly associated with backwoodsmen who divide each sentence into two equal parts: one part critically grammatical, refined and choice of language, and the other part just such an attempt to talk like a hunter or a mountaineer, as a Broadway clerk might make after eating an edition of Emerson Bennett's works and studying frontier life at the Bowery Theatre a couple of weeksŁI say that the nausea which the Goshoots gave me, an Indian worshiper, set me to examining authorities, to see if perchance I had been over-estimating the Red Man while viewing him through the mellow moonshine of romance. The revelations that came were disenchanting. It was curious to see how quickly the paint and tinsel fell away from him and left him treacherous, filthy and repulsiveŁand how quickly the evidences accumulated that wherever one finds an Indian tribe he has only found Goshoots more or less modified by circumstances and surroundingsŁbut Goshoots, after all. They deserve pity, poor creatures; and they can have mineŁat this distance. Nearer by, they never get anybody's.
There is an impression abroad that the Baltimore and Washington Railroad Company and many of its employees are Goshoots; but it is an error. There is only a plausible resemblance, which, while it is apt enough to mislead the ignorant, cannot deceive parties who have contemplated both tribes. But seriously, it was not only poor wit, but very wrong to start the report referred to above; for however innocent the motive may have been, the necessary effect was to injure the reputation of a class who have a hard enough time of it in the pitiless deserts of the Rocky Mountains, Heaven knows! If we cannot find it in our hearts to give those poor naked creatures our Christian sympathy and compassion, in God's name let us at least not throw mud at them.

Hi Sarang,
How interesting that you are a pro table tennis player and now taking up tennis! I live near you. We can play at Plummer or Poinsettia Park. Maybe this weekend?
I'm in that area and interested in playing regularly. Mornings or evenings. I'm intermediate and a good sport. We can rally or do sets. Let me know.
Hi Ryan,
I just saw your post. Let me know if you're still up for playing.

Earlier this year, Giants co-owner John Mara said that the NFL is evolving toward the elimination of the kickoff. Earlier today, he said he currently doesn't support that outcome.
"I certainly have not made up my mind on whether to eliminate the kickoff. I want to see this year's injury data and have some detailed discussions before we do anything," Mara told USA Today. "It is certainly one of the more exciting plays in our game."
Said Mara in in April: "We had a lot of discussions about whether we should eliminate it and if we did what we could do in its place. There's no consensus on it right now, but I could see the day in the future where that play could be taken out of the game. You see it evolving toward that."
Mara isn't ready for a revolution. Yet.
"I would like to consider [and hear from the coaches] whether there are other ways to reduce the risk of injuries on the kickoff before we decide to eliminate it altogether," Mara said. "If not and if the injury data is compelling, I would certainly consider voting to eliminate it."
Mara's team beat the Saints on Sunday, thanks in large part to 227 yards gained by rookie running back David Wilson via kickoffs returns.

IndyCar fines Saavedra, Rahal team, places Power and Bourdais on probation after Detroit
INDIANAPOLIS – IndyCar has issued $40,000 in fines and placed two drivers on probation for incidents at Detroit last weekend.
Sebastian Saavedra was fined $30,000 for making an obscene gesture at Marco Andretti, an incident caught on live television. IndyCar said Thursday Saavedra can pay the fine or work it off by making appearances on behalf of the series.
Will Power was placed on probation for the rest of the year for throwing his gloves at Sebastien Bourdais. And Bourdais was placed on probation for comments made toward officials on pit road after an accident.
Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing was fined $10,000 for a pair of technical violations on the car of James Jakes, who finished second Sunday. IndyCar last week rescinded a $10,000 fine levied against Jakes in the Indianapolis 500.

Twitter Music Is Here Today, and This Time You Can Use It
Yep, that was Twitter on "Good Morning America" just now, announcing, via an ABC proxy, what we told you last week: Twitter's music app is now rolling out to everyone.
What is it?
We've had a pretty good sense for awhile — it's a music "discovery" app, not a full-blown music service — but here's the GMA lifestyle correspondent's description of it: The new app "puts artists front and center … it's like really getting recommendations from your friends, who happen to be music superstars."
For the last week, Twitter has been putting the iOS app and (and related Web service) in the hands of a … varied group of musicians, some of whom really are superstars. Others, less so. In any case, all of them have been dutifully tweeting out their approval.
So … sometime today, you should be able to start playing with it. For now, the Twitter Music landing page still has a "coming soon" message.
And by the way, I wouldn't put a ton of stock in the "leaked" tech specs that surfaced last week — I think the list of music services Twitter will partner with in its initial go-round will be more limited than this post suggests.
Update: Ah, here you go — ABC's Joanna Stern has a full-fledged preview.

Kingdom Hearts II Details
Posted by Jesse Easley Categories: PlayStation 2, Role Playing Games,
More details have been released about Kingdom Hearts II for the Playstation Two. The first game in this series was a huge hit and a different type of RPG. This series was the first to incorporate Disney characters with characters from the Square Enix world, whether they be new characters or re-worked ones. The next installment in the series takes place a year after the GBA game Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, with Sora and pals meeting up with new ones along the way. The story is about Sora looking for his lost friend Riku, while Donald and Goofy are looking for their King. The sequel will take gamers through new and already traveled worlds. Look out for Kingdom Hearts II to hit stores this holiday. Also, keep an eye out for pictures and media files we'll be posting soon.

The Final Cut: "Revenge of the Sith" Brings Star Wars Saga Full Circle
This weeks edition of The Final Cut, Devin takes a look at Episode III. Last week she gave us a look at the various season finales taking place on television:
This week we'll take a look at Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, a movie which hits theaters on Thursday, May 19th, and will have many theaters featuring a 12:01am showing to accommodate eager fans. Revenge of the Sith is the third and final installment of the Star Wars prequels and will bridge the gap between the Star Wars movies of the past 6 years and the original Star Wars, which was released in 1977. All 6 films in the Star Wars series have been produced by George Lucas. Lucas also has writing credits on all 6, and he directed Episodes, I, II, and III.

Firefox vs. Opera
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Business Tools, Software,
These days, Microsoft Internet Explorer really is a risk to use. It is full of holes which can allow others to manipulate your computer, either through taking control of it manually or via spyware. Alternative browsers like Firefox and Opera offer great peace of mind as well as increased functionality. Check out this article which compares feature sets, as well as usage on systems wunning Windows 2000, Mac OS X 10.3.9, and SuSE Linux 9.1. Remember, Opera does have a small fee associated with it, so keep that in mind when comparing.

Just Say No To Splash Pages
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Marketing,
One thing your visitors will not appreciate is your site taking more of their time than it needs to. One thing which you may think is a cool addition is the splash page. Hey - it delivers your logo straight to your captive audience, and you can even play a cute flash video with matching audio! Bad move. When someone types in YourSite.com, they want to see the information that they are looking to find in the smallest amount of time possible. Any type of introductory page will take time to load, and usually requires a click for the reader to move on and get to the content navigation tools. My advice is to simply leave it out - it is useless and really is more of a turn off if anything.
E3 2005: Saitek P990 Dual Analog Controller
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories, PC,
Earlier today we got a look at Saitek's new PC game controllers, and figured we would bring you the goods. First up is the P990 Dual Analog. Let me preface this by letting you know that Saitek has decided to switch their hardware focus to cater to the first person shooter category. That being said, all of their new controllers reflect that mentality. We weren't able to get our hands on any of them, so our impressions are purely visual.
So, here we have the P990 Dual Analog which features backlit buttons and increased grip. I must say, the backlit button do look smooth - but control is more than just looks. There is an FPS button which automatically configures the controller for FPS games so that you no longer need to rely on the mouse, which the right analog stick taking its place. Saitek's Smart Technology software allows for advanced controller programming by identifying your specific control setup for each game you own. One thing I don't know about is the D-Pad. It's a personal thing, but I just don't like when they are shaped like that. Oh, you can't see them in the image, but there are 4 shoulder trigger on this one as well. It will be available in July for a price of $20 USD.
Samsung SCH-V740 Set To Challenge The Motorola RAZR
Posted by Troy Categories: Cell Phones,
An impressive piece of work, the Motorola Razr V3 is finally being challenged after being on the market for more than 8 months. While lacking more advanced features like a 1+ megapixel camera, which Samsung's phone will feature, the Razr's slim design has attracted much attention. Keeping the same thickness of the Razr when closed (14.5mm) and only weighing 3 grams more, the Samsung SCH-V740 is set to have Bluetooth, MP3 playback capabilities, and a file viewer - features not available on the current Razr.

E3 2005: Killzone 2 - Hardware Demo or Pre-render?
Posted by Troy Categories: Video Games,
Killzone, while looking incredible, has gotten a lot of reactions from gamers and the media. Of course the media jumped on the PS3 like the second coming of Christ, but some gamers are rightfully curious about the nature of the video. Is it CGI, or is it done in real-time on the PS3 hardware? At this point it's unclear. I just hope Sony clarifies this—if indeed real-time it will have convinced many naysayers. If not, Sony is up to the same old tricks they did with the PS2.

Immigrants were often viewed as undesirable additions to the community in the 19th century. This article estimates that the number of Irish immigrants to New York City in 1835 would be 30,000. It warns that immigrants could outnumber citizens and acquire too much political influence. The Immigration act of January 29, 1795, set 5 years as the period of residence required for citizenship. It also required applicants to declare publicly their intention to become citizens of the United States and to renounce any allegiance to a "foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty" three years before admission as citizens. The Greenfield Gazette and Franklin Herald was the newspaper in Greenfield, Massachusetts, from June 26, 1827 to June 27, 1837. It changed its name to the Gazette & Mercury.

|This is a roughly sorted list of tasks that popped out during the meeting. We probably need to categorize it better, like seeing which task is blocker for which other, setting priority, split between "research" and "coding" and things like that. Still sounds like a premature thing though.
This is what we are focusing on implementing right now:

Before actually coding them we should first define the speed compromises we want/can have for all of them.

NO More Questions about the D!
Everyone has been questioning our D all year long. I think alot of those questions were answered. We are NOT a top 5 or 10 D in the league, but now with everyone healthy ppl will not be able to get away with alot of the things they have gotten away with before. Now that our secondary is inury free and Dale Carter back we can blitz a little more agressively and play the type of ball our D coordinator likes to play. It was starting to look better the last few weeks, and now that Carter has the rust off and the rest of the D all rising to the ocasion I think we know where they stand now as a unit. We still have problems with our zones and what not, but everyone has that problem occasionally. I think we have alot of playmakers in the secondary and a solid line. Our LBs are still the weak spot, but they will only get better. I hope anyways... Great Game!

NO More Questions about the D!
Syco, I agree that the defense had a stellar game, but I still think the unit needs to learn how to counter the short route passing game a little better. We looked good against the Bucs (in my opinion) because they were unable to make the big plays when they needed them and we got some key turnovers. The 5-7 yard pass has hurt us all season long. But I still think we have shown improvement over the last couple of weeks. If we continue to do so (improve), this could be key to how far the SAINTS go in the playoffs.
On the other hand, our run D executed extremely well and effectively shut down their running game. I think the SAINTS showed significant improvement in that key area. This will also be a tremendous help down the stretch.
It is great to have a powerhouse offense that can put up the points, but we can only win in the playoffs if our defense can keep the opponent from matching us score for score.
But I have to admit that I liked what I saw last night and have faith that the defense we so desperately need may have finally found its rhythm.
Go SAINTS!!!!!

King Leo Dark Chocolate Crunchy Patties
King Leo is known for their mint sticks. Currently their branching out a bit and have a few new items. One is a line of Dark Chocolate Crunchy Patties in different flavors.
They feature dark chocolate and a fondant cream center, but the unique selling proposition here is crushed hard candy bits to give them a little crunch.
They come in a cute gable box. I liked it's simplicity - it's just a paperboard box, but looks cute and befits the classic contents. Inside the box is a cellophane bag with the chocolates ... not quite as elegant, but I'm sure much more efficient than the trays that Turtles usually come in.
I tried the Peppermint variety first.
They smell clean and minty with a little note of cocoa. While they're called patties, they're really not flat at all, they're like a half-round candy.
The chocolate is very thick but nicely tempered with a good crack but doesn't flake too much. The candy crunches are mixed in with the chocolate coating (pretty much just on the top).
The cream center is a mellow and smooth fondant - softer than a York Peppermint Pattie but firmer than the gooey version inside Junior Mints. The package shows that the center is pink, thankfully it's uncolored.
The mint is quite powerful and lingering. Each piece is pretty sizable too - about 3/4 of an ounce. So it's a good portion, it feels decadent and satisfying - and also comforting since it's not terribly fussy.
The chocolate isn't quite as creamy smooth as I would have liked, but it is real and if it weren't for the egg white they used in the fondant these would be vegan.
Rating: 7 out of 10
The next variety on my list is the Lemon.
The package is similarly themed with vertical stripes, this one obviously going with yellow. As an array the four varieties are quite attractive.
One of the issues of tossing enrobed chocolates into a bag like this is that they get a little scuffed up. These were shipped to me by Quality Candy, the company that runs King Leo these days, so they may be more bumped around than what you'd get in a store. (I haven't seen these in stores yet but they're supposed to retail for about $6.00 for a 6 ounce package.)
Unlike the Peppermint, these barely betrayed their cream flavor. They smelled a little like citrus oils, but mostly like sweet chocolate.
The centers of the lemon version were pastel yellow. The cream center is both tangy and sweet with a good pop of zest to go with it. The crunch in the chocolate and the comforting lemon flavor was pleasant and definitely different. The dark chocolate actually went very well with the lemon in this case - I got the distinct flavors of both without one winning out.
The cocoa flavors of the chocolate aren't the most complex, but they stand well to the lemony notes.
Rating: 7 out of 10
The Orange package has smart looking two-toned orange stripes that set off the chocolate photos and the gold logo much better than the other varieties.
I'm a sucker for orange and chocolate, especially orange and dark chocolate. But I admit that I was a bit dubious of the Orange ones going in, because I thought they were going to be more like an orange hard candy mash-up with some chocolate than a fine cream.
Opening the inner cellophane package, these smell like cocoa and a bit like peppery orange.
Like the lemon, the orange creams are tinted and slightly tangy.
The orange and dark chocolate goes well together and has a nice blend of both the citrus oils and the juicy orange notes. These were by far the crunchiest of the patties I had, which was quite refreshing.
I rather liked these two citrus varieties, especially as a summer chocolate treat because they didn't seem as sickly sweet.
Rating: 7 out of 10
The last package was Raspberry with riotous pink and magenta stripes & accents.
Quite simply, these smelled strongly of raspberry. It wasn't so much that it felt artificial, it was simply that it was strong.
When I took the photos, I had a little dish of my sample pieces that I usually enjoy after dinner. In this case I had the little dish sitting by me in the living room. I ate the orange and lemon ones, but left this one sitting there overnight (the bitten one, I ended up putting the whole ones away for later). Well, the next morning I came down to the living room and couldn't believe that one little candy could actually scent a room that size.
Scent aside, they're cute and a little flatter than the others. The center also seemed firmer and crumblier than the others.
It has the same light tangy quality and the interesting combination of the creamy and bittersweet chocolate with the crunchy candy bits. Overall it was far too much raspberry for me, but I enjoyed the simulation of raspberry seeds with the hard candy.
Rating: 5 out of 10
King Leo was founded in 1901 and is thought to be the oldest trademarked candy brand in the United States. They were bought out by Quality Candy Company in 2000. At that time the brand was just a line of peppermint sticks (three versions), since then Quality Candy has expanded the flavors and variety of products. They're made in state of the art facility in Tijuana, Mexico. (You can read more about it in this trade magazine article - warning PDF.)
Overall I liked them, but find the price point a little steep ... but then again looking over the ingredients they haven't mucked it up with too many unwholesome things - yeah, artificial flavors, but it's real chocolate and real vanilla. The initial offering of flavors is a good variety without being too weird so I expect them to do well.
Quality Candy sent me a huge box with one package of pretty much everything they make ... and I'm pretty sure they sent similar samples to other blogs, so expect to see a lot people talking about them for the next few weeks.
Candy Addict starts with their Choco-Crisps, Candy Yum Yum had some heat issues and put her Crunchy Patties in the fridge and is giving some away, Todo Candy has a great video that shows how humungo this box was.

Brian Deming on "Why Boston?"
In 1760 the people of Boston felt themselves proudly British and could hardly imagine independence. Then, over just 15 years, anger against British authorities boiled up, producing riots, the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, and then war.
What were the factors that made Boston the center of such discontent?
First, the nature of Boston's economy. For Boston merchants to prosper, they needed more than New England fish and lumber to trade. So, they cultivated trade with the West Indies. Fish and lumber went to the islands in exchange for sugar and molasses. Molasses, shipped to Boston, was distilled into rum, which became a reliable trade commodity.
Thus wedded economically to the West Indies, Boston yelped louder than most American ports when Britain in the 1760s began enforcing long-neglected laws related to imports from those islands.
Second, Boston's history of orchestrated violence. Boston had knocked heads with authorities well before the Stamp Act riots and the Boston Massacre. Less than a century before, riots sent the governor packing back to Britain. In the 1740s, riots forced a British admiral to return American men snatched off Boston streets to fill out navy crews. For years, Boston tolerated the Pope Day mayhem, when gangs from the North and South Ends of Boston paraded and fought on November 5.
The Stamp Act riots, the tar and featherings, and the Tea Party emerged from a culture that acknowledged the legitimacy of street violence as a tool of last resort.
Third, religion. By 1760, the force of Puritanism, so important in molding Boston's character, was on the retreat as other denominations made inroads in the community.
Boston Puritans, who by this time called themselves Congregationalists, grudgingly tolerated other Protestant sects. But they suspected that the Church of England, hand in hand with British authorities, was plotting to dominate religious life in New England. Bostonians pointed to Church of England efforts a proselytizing in nearby Cambridge, for example. This undercurrent of distrust eroded confidence in British authorities and made it easier for Bostonians to choose rebellion.
Fourth, the toxic and polarized world of Boston politics. By the time of the Tea Party, in 1773, the political mood in Boston was so poisoned that no compromise was possible. In other ports where the controversial tea was shipped, authorities and patriots managed to work out an arrangement to avoid a head-on collision. But in Boston, both sides were dug in. Trust and good will had long vanished.
At the center of this nastiness was Thomas Hutchinson, Massachusetts governor at the time of the Tea Party. Hutchinson, a flawed but well-meaning man, was mostly a victim of events set in motion by others and circumstances that spun out of his control.
In the early 1760s, Thomas Hutchinson was a popular and highly respected figure. But even then, Hutchinson had enemies, including Sam Adams, whose father was ruined after the failure of a banking scheme that Hutchinson had opposed.
Grudges against Hutchinson added up over the years as members of the Hutchinson and Oliver families, intertwined by marriage and trusted by the governor, gobbled up most of the plum government jobs.
By filling so many posts, the Hutchinsons, Olivers, and their friends planted bitter seeds of resentment and shut out of the government moderate men sympathetic to the patriot faction, men who might have found middle ground in times of crisis. Furthermore, these family ties and friendships tended to isolate Hutchinson and his allies from the rest of the community, making them deaf to arguments on the other side of the political divide, and similarly making it less likely for the patriots to listen to moderate voices on the Tory side.
It didn't help that Hutchinson had his own grudges against the patriot side—like the looting of his mansion during the Stamp Act crisis. By the time of the crisis on the eve of the Tea Party, finding compromise was impossible. The tea went in the harbor, and events snowballed from there.

Hamish-SC needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 118 designs submitted by 21 freelance designers.
I am looking for a logo for my company, trading as Southern Content, an e-business consultancy based in Wanaka NZ specializing in content optimization, seo and internet marketing. The tagline: "Right words. Right places. Right results." The brief: a logo that includes trading name, tagline and, possibly, a mountain ridge line (representing improved results as seen in a line graph).
Southern Content
I am an independent content consultant, website optimizer, seo, and internet marketer.
My company is called Powder Days but trades as Southern Content with the tagline "Right words. Right places. Right results." (I am working on a Southern Content website but very much a work in progress.)
Idea is: Whether you're trying to generate traffic to your site via search engines, promote it on other sites, or turn visitors into customers you need carefully chosen words. I'm offering search-savvy web content consulting and Internet marketing support.
Your Mission: I'm looking for a logo that includes both brand name and tagline but also references my location and ideally the value proposition...
The "Southern" bit: Although I send work all over the place I'm based in Wanaka, New Zealand. South Island, Southern Lakes, surrounded by the Southern Alps.
The "Content" Bit: Should be pretty clear. Basically, I am an online word guy.
Possible logo concept: I was thinking of using a stylised alpine ridge line to represent a believable (i.e. up and down and jagged rather than smooth) upward trend in results and working that in with the brand name and tagline. But open to suggestions assuming that location element is present in your design. (A search for Lake Wanaka on http://www.istockphoto.com or the like will offer insight into stunning local features).
Value proposition to bear in mind: Clear persuasive natural communication via the web -- warm words that build relationships.
BTW: If you are in the market for some content for a website or internet marketing advice or seo then maybe we could work something out prize wise if that is within the bounds of the site ts&cs
- Colours should be subdued -- think natural sky blue but more alpine blue-greys, purples.
- Logo should no rely on colour for impact -- needs to work in greyscale.
- Prefer to include tagline but would consider something that just worked with the brand name.
- Dark text on light background
- A unique design that can be copyrighted
- Tahoma is font for most stuff I do - words in logo need to work with it (don't need to be Tahoma but should be compatible)
- In a vector format that can be resized, etc without losing quality.
- Bright man-made colours.
- Light text on dark background -- "readability" issues online.
- clipart based work
- Anything that is gonna get me into copyright/trademark related issues
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

Jacques Tourneur's Canyon Passage is one of the most interesting and underappreciated westerns about the frontier, the settling of the west and the communal spirit embodied in the western genre. It plays on TCM as part of the Cult Movies line-up for July and you'll why it fits the bill: the tension between personal loyalty and the communal good and the contrast between the peaceful beauty and the savage violence of the wilderness defines the film. I write about it for the Turner Classic Movies website here.
On its surface, Jacques Tourneur's first western, Canyon Passage (1946), is a solid but conventional frontier drama of ambitious entrepreneurs, determined settlers, gamblers, gold miners and Indian tribes. But under the familiar trappings of cabin raisings, poker games, saloon brawls and frontier combat is a remarkably dense drama where the tensions between individual enterprise and communal good are often strained and the line between hero and villain is not a matter of black and white, but shades of gray.
Canyon Passage isn't one of those simple little towns laid out on the prairie around a main street with a grid, building out as the town grows, but a rough-hewn collection of businesses and saloons in a community that looks literally hacked out of the wilderness. Surrounded by emerald green forests and dramatic mountains, this is different from the more conventional communities seen in frontier westerns up to now. Jacksonville is a beautiful little town striving for maturity but caught up in the growing pains of free enterprise and new settlements in a place without a marshal or a judge. Roughneck outliers (notably a brutal bully played by Ward Bond), mob justice, and the threat of an Indian uprising are the flip side of the frontier idealism of the new settlers and established families pulling together in the face of adversity.
Read the entire feature here. Plays on Tuesday, July 20 on TCM. Also available on DVD as part of the four-film set Classic Western Round-up Vol. 1 (which also includes The Lawless Breed, The Texas Rangers and Kansas Raiders).

Legislative committee tackles tough question of patient's right to die
Hartford - William Meyer of Westport recalled putting a plastic bag over his father's head and holding his hands when he died. The spokesman for the Hemlock Society, a nationwide right-to-die organization, said Wednesday that his father had been suffering after five cancer operations and had asked his son to help end his life.
"I think it is an individual choice," Meyer said as he testified in favor of House Bill 6645 before the Public Health Committee.
The bill would allow a physician to prescribe medication to end a patient's life if the patient requested the prescription and could self-administer the medication.
The bill specifies criteria to determine whether a patient qualifies to bring about his or her own death. The patient would have to be considered competent or of sound mind and would have to be suffering from an incurable and irreversible medical condition that would result in death within six months, according to the patient's attending physician.
The bill would not require a patient to get a psychiatric evaluation if the attending physician finds the patient competent, nor would the patient have to get a second opinion as to whether the disease is terminal. The bill also would not require the patient to go through a waiting period, as do similar laws in other states.
Meyer's father would have lived for six to seven months in agony, Meyer said. His father spent a lot of time thinking about it; it wasn't a quick decision, he said.
In 1994, Connecticut magazine featured Meyer in an article that described what he had done. After the article was published, he was arrested, charged with second-degree manslaughter.
In the aftermath of the arrest, Meyer appeared on the Today Show, 60 Minutes and on the front page of The New York Times. Politicians and ministers spoke on his behalf, and more than 300 letters in support of his action were sent to Superior Court Judge Thomas Miano, Meyer said.
"One thing I learned from this is how many people have a miserable, terrible last part of their life," Meyer said.
At the pre-trial hearing, he was given accelerated rehabilitation - a period of unsupervised probation for up to two years.
Waiting period question
Meyer said Wednesday that he supports the bill, but also wants it to include a waiting period. Many legislators on the committee also said they were concerned about excluding the waiting period and questioned state Rep. Betsy Ritter, D-Waterford, who testified in favor of the bill.
"The imposition of a waiting period could deny them the opportunity or ability to make this decision at a time when it could help them," Ritter said.
State Sen. Rob Kane, R-Watertown, said he would argue that a psychiatrist or psychologist would be better able to determine someone's competency than a physician.
"My concern was that if that was not needed, it could be a time delay," Ritter said.
But a co-sponsor of the bill, state Sen. Edward Meyer, D-Guilford, who said he is not related to William Meyer, said he also is in favor of a waiting period and of requiring the patient to get a second opinion to determine whether an illness is terminal.
"Those kind of safeguards make a lot of sense," he said.
He said the bill is important because its intention is to bring about death with dignity in a professional manner.
State Rep. Peggy Sayers, D-Windsor Locks, said she had a problem with the bill and would rather see people go to a hospice where they can die with the support of their family.
"To me, this sounds hopeless. You make a decision all alone by yourself with no one to comfort you or offer any help," Sayers said.
She called the aid in dying described by the bill "assisted suicide" and asked what the difference was between getting approval from a doctor for end-of-life medication and "taking a whole bottle of Tylenol and taking a bottle of Jameson."
"It's not dignified, to be so hopeless and in such an uncaring situation that you need to take something to die. To me, that is not very dignified," Sayers said.
Sara Myers, 58, testified, urging legislators to pass the bill. She said she has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. The disease progressively degenerates the motor neurons, which deteriorates the brain's ability to control muscle movement. In the later stages, a person becomes paralyzed, and the disease eventually leads to death.
"I am not scared of death, but I am scared of the way ALS is killing me," she said.
She said she needs help bathing, using the toilet and dressing. She had trouble breathing during the hearing and said the disease is affecting her ability to control her diaphragm. It will take two to three days to recover from testifying, she said, adding that it is well worth it.
"I am not ready to make the choice today, but I yearn for the option," Myers said.
A number of people representing people with disabilities spoke out against the bill.
"This bill amounts to a government recommendation that sometimes death is the best treatment," said John Kelly, director of a Massachusetts-based organization Second Thoughts.
He said doctors have said they can't predict when someone will die, and there are people who have outlived their prognoses.
In the health care system, people with disabilities are already encouraged to refuse treatment and choose "do not resuscitate," Kelly said. "Adding this bill is like adding gasoline to a fire."
Sen. Meyer said the bill has a provision that says if someone were to coerce a patient into taking his or her own life, that person would be guilty of murder.
"This is a tough bill," he said.

Inside View
In 1882, Saint Luke's was a small hospital serving a frontier trading town. Today we are an integrated system of 10 hospitals with more than 9,500 employees caring for a metropolitan area of 2 million people, and our service area spans 67 counties in Missouri and Kansas.
As Kansas City's only locally owned not-for-profit health system, we're proud of our faith-based heritage, which we believe sets us apart and truly impacts the quality of care that we provide. And we are honored to be continually recognized for our commitment to quality, compassionate care.
Growing with the Kansas City region
For its first 107 years, Saint Luke's was comprised of just one health care facility. That changed in 1989 with the construction of Saint Luke's North Hospital and our acquisition of Spelman Memorial Hospital in the northern part of the Kansas City metropolitan area.
The hospital's metropolitan presence continued to expand, with the opening of Saint Luke's South Hospital in 1998 and Saint Luke's East Hospital in 2006.
Crittenton Children's Center, which cares for the emotional health of children and families, officially joined the health system in 1992.
Saint Luke's Health System expanded outside the Kansas City area with the addition of Wright Memorial Hospital in Trenton, Mo., in 1994, and Anderson County Hospital in Garnett, Kan., in 1995. Saint Luke's Cushing Hospital in Leavenworth, Kan., joined Saint Luke's in 2001, followed by Hedrick Medical Center in Chillicothe, Mo., in 2003.

The Best Chiropractors in Minnesota
Our annual "Best Chiropractors" list is compiled by Professional Research Services, who conducts peer-review surveys of licensed chiropractors across the state. The result is the "Best Chiropractors in Minnesota" list, shared here with our readers.
Professional Research Services (PRS) uses a strictly online peer-review survey, where certified practicing and active Minnesota chiropractors nominate their peers within chiropractic medicine. Once PRS receives the nominations, the chiropractors who receive the highest number of votes in chiropractic medicine are reflected on the list, which is then vetted against the Chiropractic Board of Examiners in Minnesota to ensure all chiropractors listed are active/practicing and have no infractions on their licenses. The list is a peer evaluation—it doesn't have a certain rating system and it's not based on consumer reviews.

Stony Brook adds three FBS transfers
Stony Brook, NY – Stony Brook continues to stockpile FBS transfers as it moves toward its first season in CAA Football this year.
Coach Chuck Priore announced on Friday the additions of junior offensive lineman Arthur Doakes from Pittsburgh and senior defensive backs Derrick Morgan from UTEP and Reuben Johnson from Cincinnati to his program.
Doakes, from Lebanon, Pa., played in 12 games at Pittsburgh last season, including starts at right guard in the final four games of the regular season. The 6-foot-6, 340-pounder was suspended for the Panthers' appearance in the BBVA Compass Bowl.
Morgan, from Germantown, Md., played the last two seasons at UTEP after beginning his career at Cabrillo College. He is a 6-1, 215-pound safety.
Johnson, from Lawnside, N.J., appeared in 31 games over three seasons at Cincinnati. As a sophomore in 2010, the 5-10, 196-pound cornerback started 11 of 12 games and recorded 62 tackles with five pass breakups, a sack and an interception. He did not play last season due to an injury.
Stony Brook is moving to the CAA from the Big South Conference. The Seawolves, 10-3 last season, kick off their season on Sept. 7 at Rhode Island.
