The South Bay Church Story.
South Bay Church is a Christian church started by six friends in 2009. These families moved from different places around the country with a desire and vision to impact the Bay Area with the love of God and the message of Christ. Seventeen churches and a couple organizations partnered with South Bay Church to provide support, accountability, and human resources to help us have a successful launch. Our weekend services are a safe place for people to explore faith, regardless of where they are in their spiritual journey. At South Bay you can be yourself, make a difference locally and globally, and build real friendships.

Naked Christmas (Story told to the best of my recollection in honor of Eric Lundquist.)
It was 1996 and I was pregnant. Too pregnant to fly to the annual company holiday party. (We kept trying to call it "holiday" party but it kept coming out "Chris-holiday".) The morning after, bright and early, I was in the office and my phone rang. Eric Lundquist from PC Week (eWeek was still PC Week then) was on the line. Read more
Over Labor Day Weekend I received the exciting news that I now possess (temporary) NASA social media credentials and will be going to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida later this month to attend the media events and launch of the SpaceX-4 cargo resupply flight to the International Space Station.

This morning I was part of a panel on using Twitter for business. I always love being a part of these panels because I get to hear people's problems, concerns and pain points. (And I always get to learn something from the other folks on the panel.) The Merrimack Valley Sandbox crew always runs a good show and this morning was no exception. Right off the bat, our esteemed moderator asked the audience for their questions. Several came down to the same point: What should I tweet? Read more
Kickstarter did a great post on the Potato Salad project, examining how a rather unambitious project goes viral and rakes in more than $55,000. (And if you don't know what I am talking about when I say "Potato Salad", what deep dark dank hole have you been crouching in for the past month? Here, take my hand and let me pull you up.)
The post examined how an Internet sensation gets started. Read more
I spent some time this week at the Maine Startup & Create Week – which was so well done, BTW — fantastic city/fantastic people and amazing event. On Monday, one of the panels was called "Women and Entrepreneurship." I'm not sure if it was a stroke of genius, or highly ironic, but the panel was held in the Portland Masonic Temple — yes, the fraternal order of Masons which largely excluded women for centuries.

(As many of you know, I also started Innovation Nights 5 years ago. In this time more than 600 new products have been launched at our Boston region events and we are currently expanding into other cities. It is in this role that I write here today.)
Recently I was fortunate enough to be invited to participate in the UP Summit in Las Vegas (100 degrees but it is a "dry heat".) The gathering of 550+ startup community leaders billed itself as the largest such gathering in the world. In my role as one of the Startup Massachusetts advisers, I had previously attended the Startup America summits in Colorado and Chicago, and I have been looking forward to getting back in the game with this event, and checking out what has been going for startups on in Las Vegas. It was also a good time for me to consider some changes and additions to the Innovation Nights model. Read more

Kaiser Health News staff writer Jessica Marcy talks with Dr. Antonio Falcon, a physician in the border town of Rio Grande City, Texas. He explained his concern "about several health threats facing border communities, including tuberculosis, diabetes, obesity and the H1N1 virus that causes swine flu." He also talked about how "current efforts to overhaul the nation's health system will benefit both the Hispanic community, which has the highest rate of uninsured of any ethnic group; and Texas, which consistently fares among the worst for state health care measures. Still, he worries that lawmakers in Washington are failing to address several important border health issues, including illegal immigrants' health care" (10/23). Read entire interview.
A related story by KHN staff writer Jennifer Evans, explains how health reform bills would - and would not - affect illegal immigrants. "As lawmakers continue to shape a health care overhaul bill to increase the number of Americans with insurance while driving down costs, one group is being deliberately barred from receiving any government benefits associated with the effort: undocumented immigrants. This brief explainer looks at some of the questions surrounding immigrants and health care in the United States" (10/23).

´tis a puzzlement...Why is Cameron tossing such a hissy fit about MH17 and the Ukraine? No one is happy about that disaster but only Cameron is advocating extreme economic war.Is it a trial balloon to see if the US and Europe will buy in?If others decline to help then the UK will have a tough time caging Putin.There is a belief that Russia is an economic shambles and will fold. Will it? Or as Galbraith said, does such economic analysis make astrology seem respectable.

Lily-livered France give up selling warships to Russia? Not going to happen. A better idea is to ship all their muzzies to Russia if Russia wants arms.

#1, Cameron and the vast majority of the world´s leaders know that Obama is a paper tiger and dilettante. I´m sure he has not forgotten that when the UK received the last batch of Trident missiles Obama actually gave the "secret" codes to Putin. Not a rumor, a fact.In the years since then Cameron has seen Obama go from bad to worse and from worse to bloody appalling. For example, when Obama stood up to head NATO countries to intervene in Libya--and then backed out of his pledge to use all the forces he promised, leaving Britain and Europe in the lurch. Cameron knows all too well there will be little or no help from that quarter.As for France, hard to say. I´m not as familiar with their new leader as I was with Sarkozy. I know he´s significantly more to the left than Sarkozy and could well back Putin--but France´s near neighbor, the Netherlands (roughly 430 miles to the north), which lost a considerable number of people on the plane, will give them undiluted hell if they don´t comply.#2, perhaps you missed news of the Queen´s recent launch of the new aircraft carrier named for her. See "Britain's defence is in fighting shape," written by the UK´s newly appointed Minister of Defence, athttp://lucianne.com/thread/?artnum=793257Not too many planes for it, but they´re on order. Thanks to strict budgeting, a cut in immigration, stringent overview of benefit cheats (who have dropped by the thousands) and so on, defense spending has loosened somewhat. Ironically, Cameron has made cuts in those areas where Obama has hugely increased spending; we can only dream of such sensible budgeting. The heavy damage done by the previous Labour government is beginning to show signs of competent and long-lasting repair.

text: Hiya, pole works your entire body… arms, legs, abs, shoulders etc etc. I started pole without having done any working out or 'proper' exercise for ages. I found the best way to build up for pole is to just do it :) You work all kind of muscles you never knew existed so it can be hard to target specific muscles before starting. Whilst muscle strength will develop once you start pole, if you have a head start with upper body and core strength, it will definitely help. Pole is my main workout :) Hope that helps! x

The Velvets do not deal in abstractions but in states of mind. Their songs are about the feelings the vocabulary of religion was invented to described — profound and unspeakable feelings of despair, disgust, isolation, confusion, guilt, longing, relief, peace, clarity, freedom, love — and about the ways we (and they) habitually bury those feelings, deny them, sentimentalize them, mock them, inspect them from a safe, sophisticated distance in order to get along in the hostile, corrupt world. For the Velvets the roots of sin are in this ingrained resistance to facing our deepest, most painful, and more sacred emotions; the essence of grace is the comprehension that our sophistication is a sham, that our deepest, most painful, most sacred desire is to recover a childlike innocence we have never, in our heart of hearts, really lost. And the essence of love is sharing that redemptive truth: on the Velvets' first album, which is dominated by images of decadence and death, suddenly, out of nowhere, comes Nico's artless voice singing, 'I'll be your mirror / … The light on your door to show that you're home / When you think the night has seen your mind / That inside you're twisted and unkind / … Please put down your hands, 'cause I see you.' —

I have very conflicted feelings about The Smiths (I hate Morrissey, basically, but like everyfuckingbody else The Smiths were a high school staple) but this Peanuts/Smiths thing is brilliant and I can't pick a favorite, though this one is definitely up there.

The 100 Best Albums of the 1980s – FACT Magazine -
Here's a willfully sideways take on the decade.
lipslikesugarkisses said: What is the best echo and the bunnymen song?
My favorite is "Clay", because it's exciting, melodramatic, and actually quite therapeutic when I read lyrics as an elaborate exercise in cognitive defusion. "I've got to be one with all my halves," Mac confronts the fragmentary nature of the self and tries to reconcile his many selves. I don't know if he succeeds in his self-help, but it reminds me to keep unhelpful thoughts at arms-length: "If we exercise just some control / when we exercise our sum control".
Truthfully, "Clay" is the only Echo and the Bunnymen song that has had any impression on me, but I do also like: "A Promise", "No Dark Things", and "The Cutter".
Coming up: Morrissey (solo & The Smiths)
Thank you, Danice!
How did we ever manage to get to almost a hundred and twenty weeks of tales of fandom and devotion without talking about the one who inspires those more than (most) any other!?
Well, we'll be rectifying that next week. Kimberly Huston will pick her favourite moments from Morrissey's career both with The Smiths and solo.
You can find Kim on her Tumblr.
Till tomorrow.

'Snow White and the Huntsman' take top spot at weekend box office
Los Angeles, Calif., United States (4E) – "Snow White and the Huntsman" took in $ 56.3 million in its weekend debut, grabbing the No.1 spot at the box office.
The revisionist fairy tale stars Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron. The win was applauded by Universal, which spent some $ 170 million producing the flick.
Dropping a spot to land at No. 2 was "Men in Black 3″ with $ 29.3 million. To date, the third in a series starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones has earned $ 112.3 million domestically in just 10 days.
"The Avengers" finished third with a weekend take in North American theaters of $ 20.3 million. The added revenue was enough to push the Marvel superhero movie past the $ 533.3 million total of "The Dark Knight" to become the third-highest grossing domestic release ever, behind only Avatar ($ 760.5 million) and Titanic ($ 658.6 million).
In addition, over the weekend, "The Avengers" passed "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2″ to become the third biggest movie ever globally. The movie has so far earned $ 1.36 billion worldwide.
Finishing at No. 4 was "Battleship" with $ 4.8 million, and close behind to round out the top five was "The Dictator," starring Sasha Baron Cohen.

Saying that regulating mass abortion is "regulating a woman's vagina" is like saying that banning rape is "regulating a man's penis". It's insane, and it misses the point. It's not about your body parts. It's about attacking the innocent victim.Defend the voiceless. Be pro-life.

In 1 Timothy 2:9-10, the apostle Paul writes "I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God." The Greek word translated "modesty" here is kosmios. Derived from kosmos (the universe), it signifies orderliness, self-control and appropriateness. It appears only twice in the New Testament, and interestingly, its second usage refers specifically to men (1 Timothy 3:2). In fact, nearly all of the Bible's instructions regarding modest clothing refer not to sexuality, but rather materialism (Isaiah 3:16-23, 1 Timothy 2:9-12, 1 Peter 3:3). Writers in both the Old Testament and New Testament express grave concern when the people of God flaunt their wealth by buying expensive clothes and jewelry while many of their neighbors suffered in poverty. (Ironically, I've heard dozens of sermons about keeping my legs and my cleavage out of sight, but not one about ensuring my jewelry was not acquired through unjust or exploitive trade practices—which would be much more in keeping with biblical teachings on modesty.)
And so biblical modesty isn't about managing the sexual impulses of other people; it's about cultivating humility, propriety and deference within ourselves.

Orthodox Christianity is Christianity that agrees with the historical church. Yet if this is the case, then orthodox Christianity is really not entirely orthodox. Much of what is considered "orthodoxy" comes from after the 5th century A.D. But what about the previous 400 years? There is a doctrine known as "Original Sin" that was not held by practically anyone in the church until almost the 400's. There are the theologians of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th centuries who either outrightly denied an idea of "depraved man" or didn't mention it at all. This blog post written by Matthew Schraud contains the "doctrine of man" as was held by those of the early church.

Using Laura Worthington fonts with Silhouette Studio
Samantha by Laura Worthington on sale right now at Mighty Deals!
There's an exciting development in the type design world and that is that a few designers are starting to fully map their OTF fonts to Unicode so that they are more accessible to those without Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, and expensive design software that has been required in the past.
Laura Worthington is not only one of our favorite type designers as diecutters, but she has taken the lead on this. Her information on accessing all the special characters in her fonts with Windows is here. I took this a step further with a video on how to use her fonts in Silhouette Studio for Windows.
Update: I already made this video twice, but I keep finding mistakes and things I should have added as I explore this topic more and answer your questions. Please note the following
The prerequisites (shown and discussed at the beginning and end of the video) should be:
-Any Windows version of Silhouette Studio (even V2 standard, contrary to what I say in the video)
-Fonts coded for Character Map (or fully mapped to Unicode)
-Desktop font purchased, OTF version installed
Update: For those of you having trouble seeing the characters in Windows Character Map, the free utility Nexus Font also has a Character Map that makes viewing easier. Written tutorial from Paper Moon Snippets here.
On the Mac side, some of my earlier techniques are no longer working because the necessary web app has been discontinued. The method Laura recommends does work with Silhouette Studio but, like mine referenced above, is also quite contorted. My research has led me to believe that the best solution for MacOS 10.8 (or 10.9 with Silh Studio basic) is a $9.95 app called Ultra Character Map, but since it only runs on Mac OS 10.8 or better, I haven't been able to test it myself yet.
If you run MacOS 10.9, I've just discovered a new free solution.
Another Mac option is Inkscape. In Inkscape you can enter Unicode values into a text cox directly by typing Cntr-U first then the code. So you would use Font Book Repertoire view and hover over the character you want to determine the Unicode value, then type it into Inkscape. When you are done, convert text to path (Path>Object to Path) and then save as SVG for import into SSDE or as DXF for import into SS basic edition.
UPDATE: Gioviale by Laura Worthington is on sale right now at Mighty Deals.
Funkydori by Laura Worthington is also on sale right now at Mighty Deals.
So far the only other fonts I have found that are fully mapped are from Yellow Design Studio. You may know them from the beautiful Melany Lane font. (They also designed Thirsty Script but as far as I know it is not fully mapped). Here's a freebie of theirs you can try out: Gist Upright
Update: Fonts by Debi Sementelli are also fully mapped. Debi is the designer of the fabulous Cantoni font!
Be sure to thank these designers for mapping their fonts and tell them that CleverSomeday sent you.
Character map template for Silhouette Studio
A while back, I posted Character Map templates for Inkscape and Adobe Illustrator. The purpose of these is to make it quick and easy to make a one page reference map of the main glyphs in a given font, especially dingbat fonts. Today I'm adding a Silhouette version to the lineup.
You can download the .studio template here, download the .studio3 template here and instructions are in the margin of the file, but here's a quick rundown. As with all my templates, I recommend you store them on your hard drive instead of your library and that you always work from a duplicate. An easy way to do this is to Save as and rename the file as soon as you open it.
Once you've opened a duplicate template, click anywhere in the middle of the page. You'll see a bounding box to indicate that the grid is selected. Click the A button at the top of the screen (not the A button on the side of the screen).
Select the font you want to map from the scrolling list on the right. You should see the characters change to the new font's. Label the page by typing in the name of the font into the text box provided at the top of the page. This is optional, but will help you remember which font you are looking at.
Here's what a completed page looks like for my 09kutups font.
You can print the page, print it to PDF or just glance at it temporarily for reference. If you want to be able to use the characters after you uninstall the font, click the center of the page again to select the characters, choose Object>Convert to Path, then save the file.
And if you want some suggestions for great dingbats for cutting, here's a great place to start. Ten Great Dingbats for Diecutting
Distressed HTV Technique
I've been experimenting with a new technique for getting a distressed look with heat transfer vinyl and while it may not be ready for widespread adoption, I wanted to go ahead and share it with you.
What you need:
heat transfer vinyl with mylar backing (I'm using Siser Easy Weed)
a cutting board or other hard surface you don't mind damaging
a new or clean Ped-Egg
optionally, a new cheese grater like the one pictured from Dollar Tree
Cut and weed your HTV as usual. It's a good idea to practice with scraps so grab some of that HTV you forgot to mirror!
Place it on your surface sticky side up and begin to scrape across it with the Ped-Egg. The goal is to cut through the vinyl layer without lifting it, and to do minimum damage to the mylar. Start slowly and lightly and increase your pressure until you get it right.
It helps to extend it over the edge of your cutting surface for better contact with the cutting teeth.
After a bit, brush the excess away from your design onto the surrounding sticky area and see what your design looks like from the mylar side. Continue with several more cycles until you reach the desired level of distress.
Inspect the vinyl surface and remove or tamp down any larger flaps or tears that would hinder the vinyl from laying flat.
Press as usual or a little shorter on time, then remove the backing and repress with just the teflon sheet for a few seconds to be sure all the vinyl is secure.
Because the teeth on the Ped-Egg are small, it produces small scale distress (the letters above are 1 inch tall). For larger scale images, try the large round holes on the Dollar Tree cheese grater. This will result in more flaps and damage to the vinyl and backing, but you can use the Ped-Egg in a subsequent pass to help clean it up.
IMPORTANT: Let me emphasize that this is experimental. This technique obviously does not allow for optimal adhesion of the vinyl across 100% of its surface and especially along the distressed edges. Some of the tiny pieces will not adhere at all because they will be upside down. I do not have long term wear or laundering experience with this. Use this technique at your own risk. And of course, use appropriate caution when handling sharp objects.
Power tips for text to path in Silhouette Studio
If you've only been using "text to path" in Silhouette Studio to curve words into a circle, then you have barely scratched the surface of what this fun feature can do. Here's a video that will start with the basics and move on to the techniques that will make you a power user.
And be sure to grab Border Bits, the font I demo in the video, here.

G, 27, London. I like things.
1. Cabaret 2. Gone With The Wind 3. Ever After 4. Brave 5. Meet Me In St. Louis
1. Mah Fi! Fi is the lovely, tall, gangly version of me-when I'm with her I almost feel like a better person, and she just seems to get me. I honestly do not ever hold back with her, I don't feel that fear of going too far, you know? It's excellent. Love her.
2. My mum! My mother is excellent. The first time I realised that some people don't get along with their mothers (and not just because they had a temporary argument that will soon be resolved), I was actually shocked because well…I've had such an kick ass mother who gave me such a loving example of parenthood, a friend, my love of film and tv, my penchant for dreaming and reading. We just-get along. It's really nice.
3. Mark. Mark has been my bff since I was a baby, and all through the years of moving away, and having facebook reconnect us hasn't changed a thing. Love that guy.
4. My brother. My younger brother has grown. A lot. And suddenly, (well, not super suddenly) it's like we're friends after so long. When he came to stay with my during the wedding, it was just-so nice. We bicker and shit, but it's only now that we're older that I realise just how much he loves me, how being his older sister actually means something to him. And yeah, I kinda take full advantage, but he's such a fucking laugh, even when I'm annoyed.
5. My dad. Daddy and I (yeah, I call him daddy-and my mum mummy, can't stop won't stop) have…a kind of quiet relationship when we're alone. He won't always understand what I mean, but he tries his best, and though I roll my eyes a lot with him, he's truly lovely and funny and is always, always on my team. Team G for him. Yeah!#mythornsareofsteel #g answers

2.) You're a fucking retard.
Why do you own a gun? Do you live in a state of fear?
So you think that you're a big man because you own a gun? Do you feel in control?
The whole point of a gun is to take lives, not save them. It was created out of a state of paranoia and fear.
And I own a gun for my protection just like the next decent person. Never needed it. Clean it and that's it, hopefully, that's it.
Unlike a lot of other gun owners I know, I don't think I'm a big man and I know I'm not in control of anything but myself. And that's why I'm not anti-gun. I'm pro-gun. It's the pussies with guns though.... The ones who pull them out anytime they get in to an argument, or someone cuts them off in traffic. Pussies.
Have you ever witnessed gun violence first hand? Known anyone slain by a gun? I have. So before you type your next sentiment, just know you're not talking to some "fucking retard" you're talking to someone with a little bit of experience in the realm of reality and real life.

When I asked my 11- and 13-year-old neighbors what a pay phone was, the 11-year-old responded, "is that when you get your bill in the mail?" and the 13-year-old said, "Ohhhh yeah, I've think I've heard of those, there's one somewhere in Oakland!" So, unsurprisingly, when the Wall Street Journal visited some pay phones in Manhattan, they found out that most people just thought they were free public urinals. Well, they are, but they're also old timey cellphones, and most people haven't used one in years — or maybe ever.
Even in the best of times, the iPhone is the world's fucking worst phone, and when shit turns to shit, all cellphones might as well be bagels (but worse because you can't eat them). In times like these, nothing's more reliable than the sturdy pay phone.
Natural disasters tend to vindicate the public pay phone. With their clunky bodies mounted high and sometimes behind glass stalls, they generally remain serviceable during power outages, even amid flooding. When times get tough, in fact, the biggest challenge is often keeping the devices free of coin overloads.
"Phones that normally do two dollars a day are taking in $50 a day," says Peter Izzo of Van Wagner Communications, one of 13 local pay-phone-operating franchises. "In times of distress, the people of the city love them."
Roughly 12,000 public pay phones still exist in New York City, down from about 35,000 two decades ago, but the number will likely decline in October 2014, when contracts expire for 13 of the companies who own them.
Of course, keeping pay phones around, with their urinal-vibe and shitty audio, is far from ideal. Which, I think begs the question, what is ideal in an emergency situation? Should we be working on new infrastructure for when crisis' hits? With Global Warming and overpopulation making disasters of larger magnitudes imminent (sorry to get all dooms day on you but, if the super-storm fits), what's gonna be the best way to get in touch with the people who matter most when it matters most? Ideas welcome, the floor is yours. And if you're the person who comes up with that technology, you're free to use that "matters most" stuff in your advertising, all I want is a mere 50 percent of your sales. Hey, when the resource wars begin, we're all gonna have to get a little resourceful.

The Marlins were upset at Morgan the night before plowing over the catcher (a play in which, had he slid, he probably would have been safe), dislocating his shoulder. So they hit him with a pitch.
Baseball is filled with unwritten rules and traditions, one of which is not to steal bases when the outcome of the game is no longer in doubt. When Morgan stole the two bases, the Nationals were down by 10 or more, and that violated the unwritten rule.
You may remember earlier in the year that a pitcher for the A's threw a fit when A-Rod crossed the mound when returning to first after running on a foul. It's another one of the unwritten rules, according to the pitcher.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Resources are available for my son who has adhd. I feel staff and principals included are enuinely concerned with my son's education success.
Seckman Middle School is a great academic facility in the Fox C-6 school district. Seckman can compare to Rockwood and other honorable schools in the surrounding area. In my experience with this school I've been able to succeed academically and culturally. The teachers have been excellent, and have offered more one-on-one time than some of the other schools I've attended in the St. Louis County - Jefferson County area. If you are looking for a decent school for your child to attend, I would definitely recommend this middle school.
I just transferred to this school from fox and I love it so much! I have a bunch of new friends and I love the teachers! seckman is and awesome schoool!
The school is awsome and the teachers r really nice exspecially mrs.Wingo and mrs.Cottrell and mr.Hulen.

Be prepared to begin equalizing as soon as you begin your descent, not when you begin feeling pain in your ears. Whenever possible, descend feet first. You will need to exert double the force to perform the Valsalva maneuver when descending head-first.
How to Equalize Pressure in the Ears
A significant difference in pressure levels of the middle and inner/outer ear can cause the tympanic membrane to stretch or even perforate. This may happen when SCUBA divers are underwater, resulting in pain, nausea, dizziness and bleeding. To prevent serious injury to their ears, beginner divers must learn how to equalize ear pressure before going on their first dive. One of the most popular methods of ear equalization is the Valsalva maneuver.
Squeeze your nose between your fingers, shutting the nostrils.
Begin exhaling gently. Unable to exit through the pinched nostrils, air will move to the dead spaces in your ears. Exhaling gently should equalize the pressure.
Wiggle your jaw back and swallow simultaneously if your ears are being stubborn.
Don't continue trying to equalize your ears if you're unable to do so after several attempts. Instead, straighten your palm and fingers, rotating the wrist back and forth. As you do so, point towards your ear. Doing so will let your diving buddy know that you are having problems with your ears. Ascend a few feet. Wait until you feel that the pressure has decreased. Attempt to equalize again by repeating steps 1 to 3.

Journalism 101
One of the more interesting, and troubling, things about this whole arena debate has been watching The Courier-Journal become part of the story rather than reporting it.Back when Gannett bought The Courier-Journal and Times in 1986, the company tried to spin the dissolution of the Times by pimping the slogan "One Great Newspaper." That, of course, lent itself to a bit of wordplay by contrarian wags who spun it into "Once Great Newspaper."

Past Your Bedtime: It's the lure of the lobster that primes this party
Tail was plentiful at LobsterFest 2006, an annual party celebrating all things lobster. Not exactly the kind of tail you'd find in a Ludacris video, mind you, but delicious and dripping in butter nonetheless. Hosted each year by the often-imitated but never-duplicated Highlands resident James Brown and his business partner Mike Greer, the party has become legend in certain circles — always anticipated, never missed. Aside from the non-stop stream of keg beer and the array of options a full bar offered up, the biggest draw was the food (all-you-can-eat lobster, seafood gumbo, corn-on-the-cob, baked beans and other picnic fare) and the fun (hourly hermit-crab races that put the Downs to shame).

Staffpicks<HOGS>July 6-8Big Rock Bike Fest Start yer engines, gearheads, the first annual Big Rock Bike Fest roars into town this weekend. This festival combines two different sorts of raucous noise: hundreds of bikes and choppers convening, coupled with rock music. The rock is being supplied by a stellar list of bands, including Ted Nugent and the Pat Travers Band, plus Louisville bands El Roostars and Big Rock Show. On Thursday, there is "The Big Rock Tour de Ville Poker Run," a five-stop tour with a $15 registration fee that benefits the WHAS Crusade for Children. All of the finest bikes are welcome to enter their hogs in a professionally judged competition in any of five different custom bike categories: chopper, American, Harley, Metric and Sport. Visitors can peruse booths offering anything related to music or motorcycling, and food vendors will be there as well. Gates open at 4 p.m. Friday, and 11 a.m. Saturday. Registration for the Poker Run or advance tickets can be found at www.bigrockbikefest.com. —Nathan Thacher
Fait accompli: Is it time to raise the white flag on the arena issue?
In retrospect, the temptation is strong to compare the breathtaking campaign to build a new multi-purpose arena at the E.ON U.S. site, more commonly known as the LG&E site, with Germany's conquest of Poland in 1939, and not only because E.ON, the world's largest energy provider, is based in Stuttgart.

<MUSIC>Thursday, June 29The Wreckers My best friend and I have joked of starting odd businesses together — a dive bar with '80s-only bubblegum pop on the jukebox or party-crasher-for-hire, guaranteed to turn your boring get-together into one hell of a good time. Although none of these will ever see the light of day, it's damn fun to talk through the details over a pitcher of beer. The new country duo The Wreckers seem to have stolen my dream. No, they're not opening Shake Your Love anytime soon, but they are best friends who decided to partner and form a country band — all in the pursuit of fun. You can tell on their debut album, Stand Still, Look Pretty, that pop princess Michelle Branch and Nashville-based singer-songwriter Jessica Harp are having a great time writing and singing a style of music that seems to suit them perfectly. "Leave the Pieces," the first release, is an upbeat strumfest in the vein of Kasey Chambers. And the closing "Crazy People" is a tongue-in-cheek rant on an unlucky love life. Catch The Wreckers at Coyote's tomorrow night — and bring along your best friend. —Sara Havens

The Big Knit is back for 2014. Thank you to everyone who helped make the 10th anniversary Big Knit such a success, your continued support is greatly appreciated.
For every bottle sold with a knitted hat in supermarkets in November, a donation of 25p goes directly to Age NI. All funds raised from this exciting campaign will support our work to improve life for older people across Northern Ireland.
In 2013 you and other volunteer knitters managed to knit almost 50,000 hats - thank you! Please help us do even better this year, whether you are knitting as an individual, or as part of a group, each and every hat counts!
We have several knitting patterns you can use to create your mini bobble hats. However, as always – if you would like to get your thinking hats on, have fun with the hats and show your creative side, there will be a prize for the most creative hat received.
We also invite you to tell us your story, even if it's only a few lines. We love to share your heart-warming experiences; from grandparents teaching grandchildren to knit for the first time – to residents in residential homes having a 'knit-in,' to older people telling us they found knitting to be 'good exercise for their arthritic hands' and finally our oldest knitter of 100 years old who knit 102 hats! Thank you!

guests from out of town me to take them to live music with dinner on a tues night. stumped.
any suggestions?
re: selizara
will do. thanks for the info, i've been meaning to check out jazz standard sometime- blue smoke has good food. is it possible to converse downstairs over music or is it really, really loud down there?
re: bfry
I've been to Jazz Standard a few times and it's a terrific venue. It's not super loud but at the same time not the kind of place were you can have much conversation during the set (nor do I think it's really encouraged - the orientation is definitely to just sit and enjoy the music since conversation might be distruptive to other people). Of course a quick back and forth is doable, it's just not a great place for on-going conversation. The music is definitely the focus.
Generally I like to eat at Blue Smoke first and then go downstairs for dessert and the show. I've noticed that the menu at Jazz Standard looks to be a smaller version of BS's menu (take a look at the website) - though they likely share the same kitchen so maybe anything on the BS menu could be fair game if you ask.
re: selizara
this is a good idea. i have been meaning to check this out as well.
if you can separate the dinner and music parts, you will have more options - jazz or crappy cover bars in the village for example.
You could check out who's playing at Joe's Pub, on Lafayette near Astor Place. I think you would have to get tickets in advance, and get there about 30+ minutes early for a dinner table.
And if you're willing to split up the dinner and music, Cornelia St Cafe has interesting jazz, along with poetry readings, downstairs. Not sure if you can order food down there.
re: erin07nyc
Joe's Pub is a great, classy, intimate place. I recommend making reservations if you plan to eat dinner. They have a small number of tables, and the rest is standing room only at the bar.
The food is decent but nothing extraordinary, and a little on the expensive side for what you're getting. But the atmosphere is very nice.
You could try Jules in the East Village - they have live jazz in the evenings. www.julesbistro.com
I think that jazz and food together is usually not a great match, for me anyway. Either the musicians are so good it's difficult to eat without feeling as though you're doing something rude. Or the musicians are just average to bad background music, and then what's the point anyway.
Is this for NEXT Tuesday, 4/17?
Joe's Pub is a good idea, but the food can be kind of "eh." It's also a pretty serious performance venue, the food is definitely secondary, and it's a place that is hard to just "drop by." There's a CD release party going on there next Tuesday, so my guess is that it will be a very earnest scene. The opening act is an Inuk throat singer. http://www.joespub.com/caltool/index....
At SOBs there is a interesting reggae artist next Tuesday, Richie Spice. The food there is Caribbean, so is the atmosphere. Entree menu: http://www.sobs.com/menu/entree.html
At Jacques Imo's on the UWS there is usually a big New Orleans style brass band, which can be really fun. Even if it *is* jazz, it's so boisterous that eating is part of the party, instead of diners clinking their forks self-consciously. Fun cajun food. But call first to see if there is music that night. http://www.jacquesimosnyc.com/menu/
I would have suggested BB King's, but next Tuesday is a crappy Queen cover band.
I'm not quite sure this is what you're looking for, but I've always had a good time here so I'm suggesting it. Raj Mahal. In all honestly I'm not 100% sure where it is, it's somewhere around St. Marks and 1st Ave I think; actually it's probably east of 1st Ave but definitly in close walking distance from St. Marks and the Astor Place stop on the 6train. Either way, I've been there a few times with friends the food is very very good, the service is very quick, and they usually have a live citar player and a drum player. This is the sorta place to go, sit down and have a nice meal with some good music in the background, it's small and quiet, not very lively but perfect for catching up with some out of town friends.
re: hungry_fox
this sounds really cool. i will have to take my husband here sometime, thanks!
re: hungry_fox
I always have a great time at Mo Pitkins. Next Tuesday Mark Olson (Jayhawks founder) is playing at 9pm.
wow, thanks so much guys for all the great advice and suggestions! i will write back a review of what we end up doing. right now it looks like the dinner at blue smoke with dessert and cocktails downstairs at jazz standard might fit the bill perfectly. thanks again for the help everyone!

Michigan Fracking Ban Initiative (2014)
|Not on Ballot
| This measure did not or
will not appear on a ballot
The Michigan Fracking Ban Initiative will not appear on the November 2014 statewide ballot in Michigan as an initiated state statute. The measure, upon voter approval, would have prohibited the use of horizontal hydraulic fracturing, also known as "fracking," in Michigan.[1]
Proponents stated that they will attempt a fracking ban petition drive again to get the measure on the 2016 ballot.[2]
The Committee to Ban Fracking in Michigan sponsored the measure.[1]
Path to the ballot
The Board of State Canvassers approved the petition for circulation on February 15, 2013.[1] Supporters needed to gather 258,088 signatures and submit them by May 28, 2014.

sounds like battery if flat with the dials and clicking of the starter motor. could be a faulty alt not charging the battery therefore why it died while running. get a multimeter on it check the voltage of the battery with ignition on and also when trying to start the car.
Posted 16 March 2013 - 05:04 PM
We had the same thing with our Fiesta 1 week after buying it from the main dealer, totally nothing, no lights inside or out, dash lights, interior lights radio, called the RAC out and he went straight to the battery connections (which I had tried) tightened up the clamps and hey presto we had light. Turns out he said that the clamp that holds the battery down doesn't, and the battery moves slighty and the terminals works slightly loose.
Hopefully this will solve your problem.
Posted 16 March 2013 - 05:08 PM
Forgot to add, when I got home I took the battery clamp off, put a small strip of rubber on top of the battery where the clamp fits down and tightened the clamp up, no more loose battery.

Five Sunscreens That Actually Smell Good
Ah, the smell of sunscreen. One whiff and I can almost feel the sand beneath my feet. For me, the scent is synonymous with happy summertime things like vacations and warm weather, so I've never been averse to it.
But now that I've began wearing SPF on the daily, that classic sunscreen aroma is kind of cramping my style.
Trust me—it's not easy to find non-beachy-smelling sunscreens. Luckily, I've done the sniffing for the both of us.
Click through below to shop sunblock with scents so lovely, you'll actually want to put more on. Now, how often does that happen?
If you like creamsicles, you'll go nuts for this citrus-y scented sunscreen.

Over the next two weeks or so, we'll look at the restricted and unrestricted free agents on the Carolina Hurricanes roster. We'll look at pros and cons of signing each player and give a final opinion on what the team should do. A poll will be included in each post.
Although he only played 11 games with the Carolina Hurricanes this season, Zach Boychuk was the point of discussion for Canes fans throughout most of the season.
At the start of the year, it seemed it would be another disappointing year for Boychuk, who was once again relegated to the Charlotte Checkers. But instead of pouting, the winger did some great stuff and eventually warranted a callup in December. He recorded an assist before being sent back down.
At the end of the year, Boychuk had four points (1 goal, 3 assists) in those 11 games, but also finished with the most goals in the AHL with 36. The 24 year old even played on the first line with the Canes at the end of the year.
It seems that Boychuk has finally taken the next step in his development and could be an NHL player that contributes on both ends of the ice. Will he score 36 goals in the NHL? I doubt it, but he might be a third liner that can play on the second line in dire situations.
The main problem for next year is that the Hurricanes don't really have the time to experiment. Things have gone awful and a turnaround is needed. Playing a guy that hasn't cemented himself as an NHL player isn't what the Canes should necessarily do.
But losing Boychuk isn't smart either, given how well he played in his short time in Raleigh this year.
Re-signing Boychuk would cost less than $1 million and a contract could be between the $600,000 to $800,000 range.
I believe the Hurricanes should re-sign Zach Boychuk and give him the opportunity with the big club.

ARLINGTON — Ron Washington called it random. Yu Darvish doesn't know the reasons behind it, either, and said he isn't going to dwell on it.But Darvish is frustrated by it. Very frustrated, he said, because it happened for a third consecutive start Friday on a night that started with him flirting with another no-hit bid.Darvish was on the mound once again with the Texas Rangers leading or tied after the fifth inning, but the team wound up losing once again. Darvish gave up a pair of home runs in the seventh inning to lose his no-hitter and the Rangers' lead, and the Minnesota Twins held on for a 3-2 victory at Rangers Ballpark.The Rangers lost for only the third time in the last 10 games, but it came against a team that was 18 games under .500 and whose starter had a career record of 1-12 with a 5.79 ERA.Darvish placed the loss on his shoulders for his struggles in the seventh."When I gave up those home runs, it changed the whole momentum of the game," he said. "I take the blame."Up until that point, Darvish had pitched a gem, taking a no-hitter past the sixth inning for the third time this season. He had faced the minimum through six innings, issuing only a leadoff walk in the second but erasing it by inducing a double-play grounder in the next at-bat.Darvish had 10 strikeouts through six, including five straight. He got Trevor Plouffe to whiff well ahead of a slow curve to end the fifth, and then struck out the side in the sixth.The tide turned quickly in the seventh, though.Brian Dozier led off by drawing a five-pitch walk, and then Chris Herrmann turned on a 2-0 cutter in the zone and sent it over the right-field fence to tie the game at 2-2. Herrmann joins the Astros' Marwin Gonzalez and Carlos Corporan as players who broke up Darvish no-hit bids this season.The next batter, Justin Morneau, sent a hanging breaking pitch over the right-field fence to give the Twins a 3-2 lead, something their bullpen didn't surrender."Physically, I felt fine," Darvish said. "In that situation in the seventh inning, I told myself, 'I can't allow a home run.' As soon as I told myself that, you know what happened."Said catcher A.J. Pierzynski: "He made two mistakes and they didn't miss them."The troubling part is that Darvish has run into similar struggles his previous two starts. He gave up a two-run game-tying homer to Adam Dunn in the sixth inning in his previous start against the White Sox on Saturday, a half-inning after the Rangers' had taken a 2-0 lead.And, on Aug. 18 against Seattle, the Rangers tied the game in the fifth only to see Darvish give up the lead again in the sixth."Yeah, I'm very frustrated," Darvish said. "Being in professional baseball, you have those years where it just doesn't work out and you give up home runs. But there are some years that it doesn't happen, so I think the best thing is to not dwell on these failures and just keep going and keep the same approach."The offense didn't do much to help Darvish out. The Rangers managed only two runs in six innings against Twins right-hander Liam Hendriks. Jurickson Profar had a solo homer in the third, and Ian Kinsler scored in the fourth on a groundout by Pierzynski.They had another chance in the fourth with two-on and two-out, but Dozier, the Twins second baseman, made a nice play on a sharp grounder by Mitch Moreland to end the threat."They made some good plays defensively," Moreland said. "We had some opportunities and it didn't go our way. The ball didn't fall, but that's part of the game."The Rangers squandered another opportunity in the seventh after the Twins had taken the 3-2 lead. Pinch hitter Craig Gentry had a one-out triple off Brian Duensing, but Leonys Martin and Elvis Andrus each grounded out without getting the run home."The only thing we're upset about is we didn't win the ballgame," Washington said.
