Review: Microsoft's Surface RT will make even a fanboy cry
Is it a laptop or a tablet? The Surface makes a valiant attempt at being both -- but leaves you yearning for one or the otherFollow @MobileGalen
As noted, the typical Surface bundles include the Touch Cover, costing $599 for the 16GB unit, $699 for the 32GB unit, and $799 for the 64GB unit. You can buy Surface tablets without a cover for $100 less. And you can buy a Touch Cover separately for $119 and a Type Cover separately for $129. One reason to consider the Type Cover versus the Touch Cover is if you need to type on your lap. The Touch Cover is made from a flexible material, so it has to be on a hard surface to be used. Otherwise, it bounces like a trampoline as you type. The Type Cover is more rigid and thus usable on an uneven or soft surface such as your laptop or hotel bed (poor ergonomic settings, to be sure).
The Surface's built-in stand holds the Surface in place quite well; you don't get the slippage of the Apple's Smart Cover. But you can't adjust the stand's angle, which I found was often too steep for me, given my 6-foot-1-inch height. Tall people will likely want some other stand, if and when they become available.
The Surface's hardware is nice -- and kudos to Microsoft for taking the risk of offending its hardware partners to show a better way.
A key omission is support for cellular 3G and 4G networks; the Surface is Wi-Fi-only, so you can't stay connected when on the road as you can with an iPad and some Android tablets.
The Surface is the first "laplet"
When you get down to it, the Surface is more of a laptop than a tablet -- call it a laplet. The keyboard and its trackpad are frequently essential to using it effectively, especially for Office and Mail. Windows RT's support for touch gestures is primitive compared to that of iOS or Android, so even Metro's touch-oriented apps aren't particularly touch-savvy, though they work without a physical keyboard. The Surface's touchscreen is not very useful when you're working with the Surface in laptop mode (that is, with its stand engaged).
If you're looking at a Surface to run Office and do email, you'll be happier with a Windows laptop or desktop. If you're looking for a tablet to do the kinds of things people do on an iPad -- entertainment, games, news and information services, social media, photo retouching, and some business productivity -- you're better off with Apple's offering or one of the better Android tablets such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.
Though Microsoft proclaims the Surface RT to be a consumer device, it doesn't have the consumer software to do the job. The Surface's focus on Office suggests it's actually a business tablet, regardless of what Microsoft says. But it lacks too much in terms of corporate management to fulfill that role -- plus, traveling business users will want more access to legacy Windows apps, even if just for drivers and utilities such as iTunes and cloud storage services. In a few months, Microsoft plans to sell a Surface version running Windows 8 that supports such apps, which is probably a better option than the Surface RT.
That fundamental contradiction within the Surface RT is very frustrating. It could be a better business laplet if the software were improved. It could be a better personal tablet if it wasn't trying to also be a laptop and had good consumer-oriented apps. Microsoft doesn't seem to know who the Surface RT is truly for, and the result is neither fish nor fowl.
When all is said and done, the Surface RT is neither a good laplet nor a good tablet. The promise is there, but the delivery is not. What a crying shame.

Financial Stability Analysis: Using the Tools, Finding the Data
A conference co-sponsored by
the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and
the Office of Financial Research
May 30 - 31, 2013
William McChesney Martin Building
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
20th & C Streets N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20551
What tools are available to measure and forecast the stability of the financial system? Do we have the data to populate these tools? What challenges do the data present? What are the policy applications of the information derived from these tools?
To explore these questions, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and the Office of Financial Research are co-sponsoring a conference, "Financial Stability Analysis: Using the Tools, Finding the Data," and invite you to attend. Our objective is to highlight research and advance the dialogue on financial stability tools and policies that affect the financial services industry. This conference will be held on May 30 - 31, 2013, at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, in Washington, D.C.
The conference will focus on: research and practical experience in using tools that measure potential threats to financial stability; and the challenges related to including supervisory and other confidential data in these tools. Accordingly, the agenda will feature research and policy sessions that include presentations and discussion panels on related topics; it will bring together academics, policymakers, and market participants.
These sessions will follow the format of an academic workshop and will comprise submitted papers that address the development of tools to measure and forecast financial stability and issues related to data for these tools, particularly the problems associated with using confidential data.
These sessions will provide a platform for speakers and panelists from industry, regulatory agencies, policymaking agencies, and academia to share their insights on the policy applications of information from forecasting tools to preserve financial stability.

At Home: Painted Kitchen Chairs
At Home: DIY Projects in Our First House
Since having our baby at the end of November I haven't been doing as much sewing but I have been working away at projects around our new home. This is our first house and we moved in at the beginning of October so I did what I could while pregnant and then once our baby was born I spent a lot of time staring at the walls I desperately wanted to paint.
Browsing Pinterest and blogs inspired me by seeing what other people had done to transform their homes with simple updates that can make a big impact.
Using paint can go a long way. This was what I first started with since it is the focal point of our living room and this combination of oak, dark blue and beige just didn't work for me.
Once the fireplace was painted the dark blue suddenly looked much richer with the contrast against the bright white. I knew that I would paint the fireplace white but I didn't expect to keep the dark blue wall but that ended up being my favourite accent colour and I have carried it throughout our home.
There are other things that have changed in the before and after picture besides the fireplace but I'll share that painting in another post.

This Weekend in Gastown
This weekend in Gastown find Shibang among many other local designers for a Pop Up shop hosted by the online marketplace Cargoh.
One of the designers to be there is Elroy Apparel. I am a huge fan of her clothing, here are a few of my favourite pieces from her spring/summer 2012 collection:
Recent Work
It's been a long time since I last did a blog post. Over the past month and a bit I've been making some new things are here's a look at what I've been up to.
Coloured leather coin purses. Using a vibrant background colour and leather were both something I hadn't done before.
This is a sketch I did based on a custom make up set that a customer requested, below is the finished product — a large box shaped cosmetic case and a brush roll.
The big tote is back for summer and in a light bluish-grey cotton with heavy bridle leather handles.
This was a commission I did for a bedroom in Toronto. Most people are putting the wall art in their bedrooms above the bed and this mauve colour scheme is the most popular.
I dyed some new colours of wool, mostly in shades in of soft pink which are part of the bridal collection.
And lastly, I was able to restock my supply of thick grey wool so the felt iPhone sleeves are available again (as featured in this etsy finds email below).

Two years ago, Heifer International's partner, IDEAS, was promoting a livelihoods project in a community in Peru. The project, Building Sustainable Livelihoods in Piura's Dry Forest Community, was an opportunity 42-year-old Maria Esmelda decided she couldn't pass up, so she signed up.
Esmelda recounts her experience as a participant, "The first workshop I attended was about sheep. I learned about the diseases of sheep and how to care for them. After participating in the project for several months, I received five sheep. It was a beautiful experience receiving the sheep and taking care of them. I was very happy because I knew that eventually, after a lot of hard work, I would be able to share this gift that was given to me. I passed on six sheep and I kept my original five sheep. I sold the male offspring and kept the females to continue breeding them. Occasionally, I will sell a female sheep if we have a desperate need for money. For example, when the rice harvest was coming in and we didn't have money to pay our workers, we sold a female and paid the workers."
Esmelda's enthusiasm led her to more workshops. After attending a goat workshop, she received five goats. She also participated in an organic fertilizer workshop and now grows beets, carrots and cabbage in her vegetable garden. She learned the health benefits of the vegetables at a nutrition workshop and now makes sure her family has plenty of vegetables to eat. "At home, our nutrition has improved," she said. "My children have a better diet and I am confident that we will have vegetables to eat. Since I grow the vegetables, I know that they are organic and do not have any contaminants that will harm my children."
Esmelda's family supports her involvement in the project. Her children even helped her create an irrigation system for the garden. Esmelda and her husband always talk about new varieties of vegetables that can be grown on their land. She is excited about all of the skills she has received through the workshops and training. She looks to the future where she will continue to gain knowledge and have the chance to pass it on to others who are in need.

The Best Birthday Gift Ever
Our son is about to turn 12, and two months ago he said he wanted to talk to us about his birthday. We thought, "Here we go - what does he want this year?"

LONDON -- Forget about the Olympic security crisis. I'm more worried about the Olympic ennui crisis
After a couple of days here, it strikes me that England is still deciding how much to be enthused about the Olympics. This is a country of proud restraint and rabid politeness. On the sidewalks outside St. Paul's Cathedral, a sign reads: "In the interest of hygiene, the public are requested not to feed the birds."
If this were New York, of course, the sign would read: "Get outta here, ya lousy pigeon lovers."
Can a nation with such a genteel veneer get totally amped up about hosting the 2012 Games? I have concerns. Not far away from St. Paul's, a financial district hangout called Yager's Bar has set up a big-screen television on the outside patio. Wednesday night, the screen featured a live telecast of the USA-France women's soccer game, one of the few Olympic events that precedes Friday's opening ceremonies.
At 7 p.m., the after-work crowd was packed into Yager's. But I took an unofficial survey with my own eyes. I noticed that no one was watching the game. Absolutely no one.
That sample size included Roshanak Azimi, Phil Smith and Brendan Coster, who were nursing beers and conversing. The three have a lot in common with many Londoners: They are not originally from the city. Smith and Coster moved here from Australia about seven years ago to work at banks and brokerages. Azimi immigrated from Iran at about the same time.
"Why do we have to pay attention?" she asked when I wondered about the lack of interest. "It's happy hour. People are concentrating on that."
"Women's football is probably not a high-priority event for a lot of people," Smith explained. "I've got tickets for the 'Dream Team' basketball game on Sunday. Hey, British people love sports and beer. The Olympics combines the two. I think most people are genuinely excited and realize it's a once-in-a-lifetime thing for the city."
"I've got beach volleyball tickets," added Coster. "And I think for the major events, this bar will be full of people."
If the bar isn't full, the streets and subways certainly will be. The Olympics are probably the toughest event for any city to host. So in terms of trying to pull this off . . . well, that's going to be a corker, as they say here. London is Europe's largest city with a metropolitan population of 13.7 million. Estimates are that another million people are visiting for the Games.
Result: Human rush hour traffic everywhere, even at non-rush hours. Thursday at the Canning Town transit stop, where a few lines converge en route to several Olympic locations, the multi-level platforms were jammed and officials in yellow vests were holding back people in large clumps to prevent them from stepping onto escalators and creating more havoc. Keep in mind, it's still more than 36 hours before the Games officially begin.
Logistics are going to be fascinating. The Olympic Park, site of the main stadium and many other venues, is located wayyyyyyyyyyyy out on the east side of London in a former hardscrabble part of town. To reach the site, it can take 45 minutes or an hour on trains from Westminster Abbey or Big Ben. In Bay Area terms, it's as if a San Francisco Olympics' primary competition area was in Concord and 100,000 or more fans had to ride BART from the stops along Market Street to get there.
Once at the Olympic Park, however, there's massive room to roam. There's enough space inside for 350 soccer pitches, the Brits say. And the infamous security forces are everywhere -- some in camouflage gear, some in SWAT gear, some in London bobby hats, some in apparent school crossing guard outfits. You've probably heard the stories about how the private security outfit, G4S, had pledged to provide more than 10,000 trained guards but came up about 4,000 short. So the British enlisted military troops to fill the gap.
The soldiers with rifles don't bother me. This sobering thought does: If the G4S hiring crew had trouble finding enough applicants, then what does that say about the last 2,000 or so folks that actually were hired? What was the standard? That you had to speak and breathe? I don't want to say that a number of the guards are extra-young, but I think one of them at a bag check was attempting to earn a Boy Scout merit badge for terrorist detection.
I'm generally sympathetic with Olympic organizers, at any Games. The task is so huge. Lots of stuff can go wrong and already has here. At one of the first women's soccer games, held in Scotland, the North Korean team's players were introduced on the scoreboard screen alongside a picture of the South Korean flag. The players left the field and didn't return until an apology was offered. There are also newspaper reports that hundreds who purchased Games tickets still have not received them in the mail and therefore must stand in long lines to pick them up in London on the day of the event.
Back at Yager's Bar, however, Phil Smith sipped a pint of lager and said that the forces of Olympic good are bound to prevail over the forces of Olympic evil.
"There are a lot of whingers in England -- whiners, I think you Americans call them," Smith said. "But when it comes down to it, I think people will pull together and things will be fine."
Usually, that's the case. But each time I arrive at the Olympics -- and this is my 12th -- I am always amused that in the final days, workers are still hammering nails to have them ready in time. And sure enough, outside the main stadium Wednesday, someone was applying blue paint to some handrails.
You've had seven years to prepare, folks. It's time to wrap it up, stop worrying about feeding the birds and get keen about platform diving and weightlifting.
But if you see anyone in Friday night's crowd with blue-splotched hands, you'll know why.

Does your kid need the new iPad?
For that matter, does he need the iPad he already has? It isn't just the cost but the habits you're instilling.
Her daughter doesn't. Maybe that's why some of those friends have called her "poor."
The iPad's third version was released today. While frugality and technology aren't mutually exclusive, I'd question whether any kid needs an iPad.
Access to a computer and printer, sure, since many teachers no longer accept handwritten assignments. Frugalists know how to get around tech costs: price-comparison websites, cash-back shopping, buying secondhand or simply being a late adopter. (Post continues after video.)
But a tablet-style computer? Not really necessary. The fact that those girls have "the latest" also gives me pause. Regular upgrades of expensive toys creates two very dangerous habits in a demographic whose long-term-thinking skills are still undeveloped.
Does instant gratification take too long?
The first habit, of course, is a consumerist mentality. Shiny new fun toy? I want it! I don't need it, but I expect my parents to get me one. All my friends all have them! Oh, look, there's a newer version!
Which, of course, sets up the second habit: the spending mindset. If you get pretty much anything you want your whole life, you're going to want to keep living that way once you leave home.
Can't afford it? No worries: Some nice salesperson will show you how to finance it.
Some tech-heads stood in line for hours (or days) to buy the New iPad this morning. They may have developed that absolute need to be first all by themselves, as young adults.
Or maybe it's a habit they learned as kids, thanks to well-intentioned parents who wanted them to have the best of everything -- without ever questioning whether instant gratification is the best thing to give kids.
Better investments
Darlene's daughter doesn't have the tech toys her friends have. Instead, she's got a college account that will ultimately let her graduate without a single student loan. Considering the havoc that college debt wreaks on so many young lives, that fund is an amazing gift.
But her parents are giving her more than just solvency at the start of adulthood. They are teaching how to prioritize long-term rewards over short-term fun. That's something the teen won't be able to appreciate completely until later on -- say, during the years when she's not hammered by loan repayments.
Technology isfun. It's also addictive. I wonder how much credit card debt is due to our national drive to acquire (and upgrade) computers, smartphones and tablets, and to the data packages it takes to power them?
Think long and hard about indulging your kid's love for electronic bells and whistles. The money spent on the new iPad, or any other fun but seriously non-essential item, is money that could bolster a college account -- or your own retirement.
You are seeing to your future security, aren't you? You can't finance your old age the way you can a college degree. Or a tablet.
More on MSN Money:
Sometimes those "poor" folks really can't afford all the bells and whistles. Sometimes they're simply making different choices, as Darlene's parents are. But I'd be willing to bet that kids who don't want to be different from their peers are nagging their parents 24-7 to get them smartphones et al., and the parents either can't hold the line or mistakenly feel that their kids must have these items even if they can't afford to provide them.
Thanks for reading, and for leaving a comment.
I too truly worry about this trend and the fact that the "life" of these devices seems to get shorter and shorter. Recently in a candid conversation with a "geek-guy" he shared that you REALLY should be ..."updating" your computer system every 4 to 5 years...YIKES.
Another trend I find worrisome is the "divide" between the "haves and the have nots" that seems to be getting wider and wider as folks can either afford to embrace the gizmos or not.

Pirates ink Inge to minor league deal
Bradenton, FL (Sports Network) - The Pittsburgh Pirates have signed infielder Brandon Inge to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Inge had spent his entire career with the Detroit Tigers before being released last April 26. He signed with Oakland four days later and went on to hit .226 with 11 homers and 52 runs batted in over 74 games for the AL West champion Athletics.
The 35-year-old veteran made his big league debut with the Tigers in 2001 and has a career average of .234 with 151 homers and 641 RBI in 1,482 games. He was an American League All-Star in 2009.
Primarily a third baseman, Inge has also appeared at second base, all three outfield positions and catcher.

Yesterday, Denise Richards threw a baby shower for her newly adopted daughter, Eloise. Which basically means she threw a shower for herself. She invited her friends to a hotel party with explicit instructions to bring a gift. For her third kid.
It's so tacky I can barely breathe.
Say what you want about my mother, but that bitch has manners. She didn't even have a shower. You know why? Because baby showers are for poor people.

How to file a complaint with the BPD Internal Affairs Bureau
A personnel complaint is any allegation made about an employee of the Berkeley Police Department that is made to protest an action taken by the employee.
A complaint may be taken by phone, through a representative, or in person at the Public Safety Building. A representative may be an attorney, a member of an organization, or an acquaintance. A complaint may be made by a witness to an incident as well as the person directly involved, even if the witness has no connection with the involved party or is not known to him/her.
During regular business hours, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, complaints should be made to one of the Sergeants in the Internal Affairs Bureau, located in the Public Safety Building, (510) 981-5706.
The Berkeley Police Department is primarily concerned with investigating the complaint, not the manner in which it is received. A personnel complaint may be made at any time, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
At all other times, or when a member of the Internal Affairs Bureau is not available, complaints may be taken by a command or supervisory officer at the Ronald T. Tsukamoto Public Safety Building. If you desire to do this by telephone, you may call
510-981-5900 and say:
"I wish to make a complaint against an employee of the Berkeley Police Department."
Your call will be transferred to a commanding or supervisory officer who will take the complaint. A member of the Internal Affairs Bureau will be assigned to conduct an investigation of the complaint. The complaint and investigative reports are presented and reviewed by a Departmental Board of Review, which recommends a disposition. These recommended dispositions go to the Chief of Police who may consider disciplinary action, if appropriate. The Chief of Police makes the final decision as to the disposition of the complaint and will inform the complainant of his findings.

CHAMPAIGN -- Strategically holding back from displaying his full offensive arsenal, Zach Nelson waited for the right opportunity to open up. On cue, the low single-leg became a weapon. Needing a takedown midway through his Class 1A state semifinal bout on Friday night, Nelson, the Mercer County 152-pound senior wrestler, worked a textbook single-leg to complete the two-point move on Kankakee Bishop McNamara freshman Kyle Betourne. Given a lead, he completed the 5-3 victory at the Assembly Hall to reach the state championship match for the third consecutive season. "When it comes down to the wire, that (the single-leg) is my go-to move," said Nelson, who meets Ashton-Franklin Center senior Jake Kaecker in the finals. "I wanted to save the best stuff when I had to use it. That was definitely the time." Facing what many considered to be Nelson's biggest obstacle, Betourne properly defended every shot he faced in the first period. An escape gave Nelson a 1-0 second-period lead before he worked the single-leg. Once he got Betourne taken down, Nelson scored two back points to build a 5-0 lead. "I saw that was open," Nelson said. "I definitely knew that would be there to hit." Nelson did allow an escape in the third period before being taken down for the fourth time this season, but that could not keep him from the win. He joins Clayton Rush as the only wrestler in Aledo/Mercer County history to reach the state finals three times. In his previous two finals appearances, Nelson lost. "I just keep telling myself, 'One more to go,'" Nelson said. For the first time in program history, Mercer County has two finalists. Sophomore Tristen Finch outlasted Lena-Winslow's Austin McPeek in the 138-pound semifinal by a 6-3 decision to make it a daily double. It was the third time this season Finch beat McPeek. "I've been coming down here with my dad (Mercer County coach Jeremy Finch) since I was a baby," Finch said. "It means a lot to know I'm going to be wrestling for a state title." Finch never trailed in the bout, using a takedown to build a 2-0 first-period lead. Up 4-2 after two, he worked another takedown to extend the advantage. The third point he surrendered came off a stalling call. "I started doubting myself when he took me down (in the second period)," Finch said. "I was kind of scared, but I started feeling it. I wanted to be in the finals and knew he couldn't beat me. I knew one more takedown would win the match, and I got it done." Up next is Dakota sophomore Carver James, who has beaten Finch twice this year. James earned a 7-0 win in the Bob Mitton-Orion Invitational finals and a 2-1 win in last week's Oregon Sectional championship. "I'm closing the gap," Finch said. "I figured I'd get him in the finals. I'm going to close the gap and take it." Ricke, Corlett lose: Mercer County 170-pound senior Jon Ricke and Sherrard 285-pound junior Ben Corlett each dropped semifinal bouts against top-seeded opponents, both falling in close decisions. Ricke dropped an 8-6 decision to Pittsfield senior Zach Abney. "I showed a lot more technique than I usually do," said Ricke, who moves into the wrestlebacks. "I'm not settling for fifth or sixth -- that third-place match is mine. I'm one of the top dogs here, so I've got to get that third-place medal." A second-period escape was the difference in Corlett's 1-0 loss to Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley-Fisher junior Josh Wallick. Corlett tried to tie the score, but Wallick rode him out in the third period. "This is an accomplishment being here," Corlett said. " ... He's a really good rider. There are some things I should've done. I'll review the tape and see what I can do to get third." Ricke and Corlett are guaranteed a state medal. Ten advance in wrestlebacks: Ten locals rebounded from quarterfinal losses to advance to the wrestleback quarterfinals. Sherrard's Hunter Spengler (106 pounds) and Chance Teel (113); Mercer County's Devin Morford (160) and Bobby Lincoln (220); Orion's Jacob DeVolder (126) and Joe DeVolder (145); Erie-Prophetstown's Brandon McCullough (106); Kewanee's Mark Breedlove (132); Riverdale's Terry White (182); and Alleman's Ben West (220) each won their wrestleback openers. West earned his 26th victory by fall, setting an Alleman single-season record. A wrestleback quarterfinal win assures a state medal. Q-C state finalists
138 pounds: Tristen Finch (Mercer County) vs. Carver James (Dakota)152 pounds: Zach Nelson (Mercer County) vs. Jake Kaecker (Ashton-Franklin Center)

This dress is as beautiful in person as it looks online. The upper half is a fitted bodice with LOTS of thick material for structure. This should be noted if you plan on getting the dress tailored (like I did), as it will be difficult to alter and might cost you a little more. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants formal with a little bit of fun!
This dress is gorgeous, but it is not for someone with a chest. I ordered a size 6. The bottom part was a little big. I could not zip the top at all (im a 34 D). If I ordered an 8 to fit my bust the bottom part would look ridiculous. I do not think I could have it altered either because of the detail on the dress.
This dress is lovely. It is very well made - like from a bridal shop. The top is thick (multi-layered material or padding) which keeps the dress shape on the top as well as a rubberized band so it won't fall. I ordered a 10 which is my dress size, but I needed a 12 in this dress. I returned the dress to Overstock with no problem. Unfortunately they did not have a size 12 for me, but I liked it enough to order it elsewhere. I would like to add that there is no stretch to this dress and it is form fitting. I mention this because getting in and out of the limo is going to be interesting. Wearing for a small chapel wedding.
This dress is PERFECT for my wedding reception dress. It's gorgeous and the material is beautiful. I actually think it's prettier in person than photos! The design, beading, and fabric make it look like it should cost way more than it's selling on here. I just love, love, love this dress.

Wisconsin Rapids - With just two hits over their final four at bats, the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters never overcame an early two run deficit in an 8-4 loss to the Eau Claire Express Thursday night.
After the Rafters provided a single run of support in the bottom of the first inning, a lead-off walk from starter Michael Huckabay opened the door for a three running inning for the Express, as they sent eight to the plate. In the very next inning, a pair of lead-off singles came around to score against Huckabay, putting the Express up 5-1.
Alex Edward, already with a sac-fly for an RBI in the first inning, brought the Rafters back within two runs with a two out, two run homer in the bottom of the third inning. Edward, now hitting over .321 on the season, has ten hits and nine RBI over the last seven Rafters games.
In his final full inning of a short start, Huckabay allowed a single run to the Express, setting the deficit at 6-3 in the top of the fourth. In the bottom half of the inning, Curtis Frisbie doubled and came to the plate thanks to a stolen base and an error. Huckabay walked the first batter he faced in fifth, leaving him with four innings pitched, six runs allowed, three earned, six hits, four walks and three strike outs.
The Rafters made four errors in the game, two behind Huckabay. The four miscues come after the Rafters made just six total errors in their previous eight games. Michael Russo finished the fifth inning scoreless for Huckabay, and then worked a scoreless sixth, allowing two singles and a walk. In the seventh a lead triple came around to score off of Evan Stermer before Jacob Doyle closed out the inning. Doyle worked a scoreless eighth, striking out two, before allowing a run in the ninth.
Trailing by two in the bottom of the fifth, the Rafters brought the tying run to the plate. Brandon Hohl doubled with two outs, but the throw from right beat Edward to the plate ending the threat. A lead-off single and a sac bunt in the sixth gave the Rafters their final threat, but a strike-out and a ground out left them empty again.

NINE MILE FALLS, Wash. - State Parks used to give warnings, but now the state legislature is forcing rangers to write tickets to visitors who come to Riverside State Park without a Discover Pass.
Ranger Chris Guidotti at the park says rangers make rounds on foot to check if each car has a pass and that it matches the license plate. The pass is what brings revenue in and keeps the park open, according to Guidotti.
"We are grateful for people who buy the pass and we are dependent on that."
Guidotti says while compliance has gone up about 10 to 20 percent of cars still do not display the Discover Pass.
"We make a concerted effort to let people know about the pass," Guidotti said. "We have signs when you enter the park to let you know the pass is required. if you catch us when we're writing a ticket, we're happy to void them if you do purchase a pass or if you have one and forgot to hang it."
A ticket for violating the rule is $99. People who have a pass but forget to display it can get the ticket reduced to $59.

Go Back In Time
Thanks to the magic of Facebook's timelines it's trivial to see what we were up to at just about any arbitrary date in our past. Timelines also give companies, and particularly periodicals, an incredibly useful new tool. The Atlantic's timeline might be the most stunning example of this: Jared Keller, The Atlantic's social media editor, has been studiously populating the timeline with some of their most memorable pieces dating all the way back to 1857. The New Yorker's, too, poses a great threat to your free time. Sadly, The Feature wasn't founded in 1857, but we've been here since 2008, and now our timeline collects the most popular articles and essays that we've posted in that time. Therein lies surprises, and independent exploration is encouraged, but by way of introduction, here's what our Timeline says we were enjoying this time last year:
- The Possibilian (Burkhard Bilger, The New Yorker)
If Eagleman's body bears no marks of his childhood accident, his mind has been deeply imprinted by it. He is a man obsessed by time. As the head of a lab at Baylor, Eagleman has spent the past decade tracing the neural and psychological circuitry of the brain's biological clocks. He has had the good fortune to arrive in his field at the same time as fMRI scanners, which allow neuroscientists to observe the brain at work, in the act of thinking. But his best results have often come through more inventive means: video games, optical illusions, physical challenges. Eagleman has a talent for testing the untestable, for taking seemingly sophomoric notions and using them to nail down the slippery stuff of consciousness. "There are an infinite number of boring things to do in science," he told me. "But we live these short life spans. Why not do the thing that's the coolest thing in the world to do?"
- North Korea's digital Underground (Robert S. Boynton, The Atlantic)
To smuggle facts into or out of North Korea is to risk imprisonment and even execution. Yet today, aided by a half-dozen stealthy media organizations outside the country, citizen-journalists are using technologies new and old to break the regime's iron grip on information. Will the truth set a nation free?
- Has BP really cleaned up the Gulf oil spill? (Suzanne Goldenberg, The Guardian)
There are few people who can claim direct knowledge of the ocean floor, at least before the invention of the spill-cam, last year's strangely compulsive live feed of the oil billowing out of BP's blown-out well in the Gulf of Mexico. But for Samantha Joye it was familiar terrain. The intersection of oil, gas and marine life in the Mississippi Canyon has preoccupied the University of Georgia scientist for years. So one year after an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling rig, about 40 miles off the coast of Louisiana, killed 11 men and disgorged more than 4m barrels of crude, Joye could be forgiven for denying the official version of the BP oil disaster that life is returning to normal in the Gulf.
Reading List: John Jeremiah Sullivan
In my time running this website I've discovered, rediscovered, and otherwise enjoyed the works of various writers I might not have in other circumstances. Among my favourite discoveries this year was John Jeremiah Sullivan, who I'll leave it to James Wood to introduce, from his review of Sullivan's latest collection of essays, Pulphead:
He seems to have in abundance the storyteller's gifts: he is a fierce noticer, is undauntedly curious, is porous to gossip, and has a memory of childlike tenacity. Anecdotes fly off the wheels of his larger narratives. In a touching piece about the near-death of his brother (who electrocuted himself with a microphone while playing with his band, the Moviegoers, in a garage in Lexington, Kentucky), Sullivan mentions, in passing, "Captain Clarence Jones, the fireman and paramedic who brought Worth back to life, strangely with two hundred joules of pure electric shock (and who later responded to my grandmother's effusive thanks by giving all the credit to the Lord)." Any reporter can be specific about the two hundred joules. But the detail about Captain Jones giving all the credit to the Lord, while a small thing, suggests a writer interested in human stories, watching, remembering, and sticking around long enough to be generally hospitable to otherness.
You can buy Pulphead from Amazon right now, but in the meantime I've collected some of my favourite John Jeremiah Sullivan essays here, in no particular order, for your enjoyment.

Here are The Feature's highlights of the year. This list is comprised of my favourites and reader favourites, selected from articles posted here in 2011 (limited to those originally published in 2011). Open this post in your browser to make use of the Read Later button accompanying each link.
Weekend Reading List
There is no theme to today's reading list. Instead it's a compendium of mostly unrelated articles and essays from the last week or so that you might have missed, or that I haven't posted for various reasons. Consider these my weekend reading recommendations.
Reading List: The Phone-Hacking Scandal
All hell broke loose in the British press last week when Rupert Murdoch revealed he'd be shutting down the News of the World in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal. Since then, an avalanche of inquiries, conjecture, and gleeful ribbing. Even as the last ever edition of the News of the World — an inappropriately rose-tinted edition — sells record copies, the true reach of the scandal is still unknown, and the fate of the now-unemployed News of the World staff is as much in the balance as that of Rebekah Brooks and Rupert Murdoch. This story will go down as one of the decade's biggest, and here I've collected some of the more unmissable and informative pieces on the scandal from the past week or so.
This was the first of what I hope to be a recurring feature. If I missed anything great on this list, or you have an idea or a submission for a future list, do get in touch.
Give Me Something To Read Best of 2010
This was my first full year at the helm of Give Me Something To Read, and to mark it, I've compiled this list of the best articles and essays I posted through 2010 (limited to those that were actually published in 2010). Best, obviously, is subjective, and what this list comprises is a selection of my favourites and reader favourites (as judged by the number of notes they got on Tumblr). Enjoy! (Hint: Open this in your browser, each link has a read later button next to it.)

Mario Balotelli
Últimas actualizaciones
The Super Striker
Mario Balotelli's life is constantly exposed in the headlines. Some are believable. Some unbelievable. Regardless, these headlines are fuel for his on-pitch fire. Fuse that with an uncanny ability for penalty kicks and a personality that keeps the referees, press, and paparazzi on their toes-and you get "Super Mario." Balotelli has been perfecting his strong, agile style of play since age 3. In 2001 he started playing for AC Lumezzane and made his first team debut when he was 15. In 2006, he made his debut with FC Internazionale's Under 16 team. One goal led to another and before he knew it, he was making his Serie A debut at age 17. In 2010 he joined Manchester City and proceeded to rack up goals and awards as well as endless headlines, resulting in his now infamous "Why Always Me?" shirt. In January 2013, Balotelli made the move back to Italy to play with AC Milan. Why Italy? Because Italy is where this footballer's heart lies. At age 18, Balotelli was granted Italian citizenship, making him eligible to pursue his lifelong dream of hoisting the World Cup trophy. He debuted for Gli Azzurri's Under 21 team in September 2008 and for the national team in August 2010. His performance at the 2012 Euro Championships was unforgettable. But Super Mario has his eyes set on bigger things in 2014….

WASHINGTON — Mortgage giant Freddie Mac earned $2.9 billion from July through September, its fourth straight profitable quarter. The government-controlled company attributed the gain to rising home prices and fewer mortgage delinquencies.
Freddie said Tuesday that it paid a dividend of $1.8 billion to the US Treasury and requested no additional federal aid.

Jimmy Fallon to present Justin Timberlake with award at VMAs
Jimmy Fallon will present Justin Timberlake with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the VMAs Sunday night. The logic of this needs no explanation -- Timberlake hasn't just become one of late night TV's most relaibly entertaining guests, but co-creator and presenter of "Late Night's" (arguably) most successful ongoing "element" (for want of a better word) during the Fallon years "The History of Rap."
It's a very big award for the VMAs -- in fact, the biggest award given out by a network that no longer even airs videos -- as explained in this excerpt from the press release:
Timberlake has been the architect behind some of the most innovative and popular music videos of the last two decades including the emotionally drenched "Cry Me a River," futuristic dance party, "Rock Your Body," the dark and sultry, "SexyBack," the exquisite black and white rat pack throwback "Suit & Tie," as well as the hauntingly beautiful "Mirrors." In honor of his artistry and innovation, Justin Timberlake will be presented the coveted "Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award" joining a prestigious list of past recipients including Michael Jackson, Madonna, Peter Gabriel, R.E.M., Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Britney Spears.

Timberlake has already won a couple dozen VMAs.
Tags: Justin Timberlake , Jimmy Fallon , VMAs
Will there be yet another Kanye West moment at the 2013 VMAs?
No, he's learned his lesson. If there isn't, I'm swearing off awards shows for good. All signs point to yes.

loose coupling(1) In computer science, loose coupling (or loosely coupled) is a type of coupling that describes how multiple computer systems, even those using incompatible technologies, can be joined together for transactions, regardless of hardware, software and other functional components. Loosely coupled systems describe those that work on an exchange relationship where little input is needed from each of the additional systems. In a loosely coupled system hardware and software may interact but they are not dependant on each other to work. Computers in a network are considered loose-coupled systems as a client machine may request data from the server, but the two systems also work independently of each other.
(2) In software terminology, loosely coupled refers to software where routines, modules, functions, and similar components are executed only as needed, and do not run at the launch of the software application and while it is being used. Web services are a type of software application that uses loose coupling.
Also called light coupling.
See also coupling, tight coupling, and decoupled.

Culture Shock
Beyond the fact that they were both famous American artists, Georgia O'Keeffe and Andy Warhol don't seem to have all that much in common. O'Keeffe is deeply associated with the crusty, dry, rural Southwest, while Warhol epitomizes the hipster New York City art scene of the '60s. O'Keeffe's work is filled with natural light and natural settings, while Warhol's most famous work focuses on celebrities and household products.

For years, one of the most enjoyable and least pretentious arts events in town was Steve White's Yardfest, held yearly in the front yard of White's former Folk Farm on Louisiana just south of Central. A bunch of fantastic artists mixed with a bunch of rockin' live bands along with the infamous Hillbilly Biathalon (seed spitting and pie eating) made for quite an event, let me tell you.

By rickygree from USA on 2010-10-15 23:26:38Things I liked:the grip and stock ,fit and finish outstanding,the safety works nice,the trigger is decent enough,the accuracy seems to be unreal
Things I would have changed:scope base is not long enough and needs a recoil pin hole
What others should know:go with the Beeman rings,remove scope base screws and loctite! this is a springer after all!! overall this pistol is fun fun too shoot! Beeman Silver Bear hi-impact and Crosman Premier hollow point for starters!
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful:
By Carlos from USA on 2011-12-17 20:45:52Things I liked:Nice easy cocking, very smooth and crisp shooting. Very user friendly pistol, a joy to shoot.
Things I would have changed:The scope base is very weak; I tried to put a BSA red dot scope on it, and the base kept getting loose.
What others should know:I was unable to use it with the BSA red dot scope; it appeared the base could not hold to the weight of the scope, so I had to return it and exchange it for the RWS Diana LP8. Thank you Pyramydair staff, you guys were great throughout the process to exchange this pistol for the better Diana pistol! This was my first purchase of a Beeman airgun, and I was very disappointed. I continue to be a great fan of RWS Diana products!

Impeach Bush & Cheney NOW!
Keith Olbermann points out exactly when Bush started changing his rhetoric about Iran's nuclear program, as related to the report by 16 U.S. spy agencies that say Iran abandoned their nuclear program in 2003. Bush claims he didn't know about the report for the last year, but he suddenly changed his claims about Iran as the report was about to be released.
Olbermann adds, once again, that Bush is a liar, and yet again, a criminal who belongs on trial, not in office. George and Dick, The Treason Brothers.

One man is dead after officials say he fell off of a truck bed.
Debit card thieves went on a wild spending spree.
A Sylvester man realized his card was missing just a day after it disappeared, but that was plenty of time for crooks to rack up big bills.
"So far it looks like about $1,000 worth of stuff they've bought at different places," said Sylvester Police Investigator Kenneth Washington.
He says the victim left his card at the Sylvester Express Lane where it landed into the wrong hands.
"Immediately after that happened, they started using the card at the very same place he left it. Then they went down to the Sylvester Inn and rented a room," said Washington.
Surveillance video shot January 17th shows the suspect using the stolen card at Sonny's Package store in Cordele. He even signed the receipt.
They believe he and a second man wearing a large coat are behind the theft and racked up charges at Walmart in Cordele and Tifton.
"They have bought telephones at Walmart and phone cards," Washington said.
And a trail of receipts show the damage. The victim discovered the card was missing the following day but by that time the spending spree was in full swing.
"They knew a lot of things around here so it's possibly local people around in the area," Washington said.
Fortunately the victim's bank contacted him and alerted him about the charges. But because those illegal purchases were also made in Tifton and Cordele, police there are also looking for these guys
If you think you recognize them call Sylvester Police at 776-8500.
