Re: Non Trek Fic: Lawndale and Sandi Griffin's Genie
Chapter 5: Part 2
Jeffy turned his car around a corner, going from Fourth Street into Marcil Boulevard. Tiffanys phone rang.
Hi, Mommy, she said.
Great! What does she want? Joey asked.
She is meeeeting other parents aaatt the Settle-ment Rest-uar-ant, about Jean, Tiffany explained, she then put the phone back at her ear.
I guess, thats a good thing, right? Jeffy said, as he went through the Marcil Boulevard - Main Street intersection.
I guess so, Joey said.
She wants me to tell Jo-odie Laaandon about what weee are up to, Tiffany said.
Jodie is there, with the parents? Joey asked.
Tiffany nodded.
Um, its the Settlement, right? Jeffy asked, as he pulled up short of Johnson Avenue, across the road from the Good Time Chinese Restaurant.
Yeah, Tiffany said.
Its just up the street from Chez Pierre, Joey said.
Ok, tell her that we are on our way, Jeffy said.
Thanks, Tiffany, honey. Ill see you soon, bye. Frances said.
So, she is on her way here? Jodie asked.
Yes, Frances said.
I hope there will be room, Mack said, as he saw another parent he recognised arrive.
Right, you want me to search Lawndale when I leave here? Elizabeth asked for clarification.
Yes, until sunset, then you can do whatever you usually do on a Friday night, Helen said.
Elizabeth glared at Helen. You mean worry about Anastasia going on dates! In this case it will be worry about Anastasia looking for the emerald.
As if I dont worry about Quinn going on dates! Helen said.
What about your other daughter? Elizabeth asked.
Daria doesnt date, Helen said
Or she does, and she is doing it behind your back, Penelope said.
You dont know Daria.
We are approaching the spot, Elias said.
I dont see anyone, Quinn said.
Neither do I, Elias said.
Clearly its some kind of hoax! Dennis said.
Elias looked at Dennis. He knew that Dennis had been involved with hoaxes of a similar nature.
They walked up to the site.
Well, nobody is here. Its a hoax, Quinn said, nervously.
The three of them moved so that their backs were to each other.
If there is someone trying to bait us, they have something coming, Elias whispered to Quinn as he held the emerald.
Quinn nodded.
What are you talking about?Dennis asked.
Nothing! Quinn said.
Dennis grumbled. Clearly they were keeping something secret.
Sandi arrived back at Lawndale High. I havent seen Elias. He must have gone a different direction! she thought.
She decided to go back to Main Street. He will be there sooner or later.
At the Pizza King; Jane, Daria and Stacy were eating their Pizzas.
Anyone see the genie, Elias or my sister? Daria asked.
Nobody, none of the Lawndale students saw Quinn, Sandi, Jean or Elias since they left class, Jane said.
They have to be somewhere! Stacy said.
Just not here, Daria said.
Tom! Jane said, as her boyfriend came over to them.
Hi, Jane, Daria, whats happening? Tom asked.
Remember what I was telling you yesterday? Jane asked, as Tom sat next to her.
Yes, something about a genie, wasnt it?
Yes. More stuff has happened today, Jane said.
Tom looked at her in disbelief.
A lot more stuff, Daria said.
Really? Tom asked.
Yes, Stacy. Tell him, Jane said.
Why me?
You have the photographic memory, Daria said.
Technically its eidetic, Stacy said. She looked at Janes look of disbelief and said I dont know where I got that from.
She then launched into her description of the days events.
Back on Adams Street, Quinn, Elias and Dennis had stood with their backs against each other for about five minutes.
Nobodys coming, Quinn finally said.
Yeah, Dennis said.
I guess we can continue, just keep an eye out, Elias said.
Lets go, Quinn said. They slowly started back on their way towards the Jefferson Bridge.
Jeffy parked as close as he could to The Settlement, nearly in front of Chez Pierre. Lets go, he said.
Joey led him and Tiffany towards The Settlement.
The parents were still debating their plans when Joey, Jeffy and Tiffany entered the restaurant.
Tiffany went over to where her mother and Jodie were sitting. Joey and Jeffy followed.
Hi, guys. What are you doing about the situation? Mack asked.
We are cruising Lawndales streets, looking for Quinn, Jean, Elias, Sandi or the emerald, Joey said.
Quinn? What has happened with Quinn? Helen asked with concern.
No-one has seen her since she left school, Jeffy said.
Nooor have they seeeen Sand-di.
You think that it has something to do with the genie? Helen asked.
Daria thinks that she may have gone after Elias Howarth, who was last seen with the emerald, Jeffy said.
Stacy is with her and her art friend, Joey said.
You mean Jane? Helen asked.
If that is her name, yes, Jeffy said.
Where is Anastasia? Elizabeth asked.
With Daria and Jane, Helen said.
I dont know why she insists on calling Stacy that. Mom only calls me Jefferson if Im in trouble, Jeffy thought.
So, she is being driven around Lawndale with two people I dont know! Elizabeth said.
I can vouch that Daria wont let anything bad happen to your daughter, Helen said.
But what about Jane? Elizabeth said.
Your daughter is safe! Helen said.
Stop! Frances said.
Helen backed off from Elizabeth.
OK. I can trust Daria, Elizabeth said slightly subdued.
Helen could see that Elizabeth didnt back down very often.
Andrew then spoke up I have logged into my companys Mainframe. I have set it to send me a text message if something unusual makes it into the news.
Jodie glanced at her fathers laptop. Very good, Dad, she said.
Andrew smiled.
So have you planned anything? Jeffy asked.
A few things, Most of the parents dont get along, Helen said.
Good thing that you invited me instead of Michelle, Andrew said.
Helen laughed a nervous laugh.
They continued their planning.
Jennifer arrived at Kristens hospital room. Im sorry Im late, I had a few errands to run, she said to Kristen.
Thats fine, Kristen said.
Hey, you are almost normal, Jennifer said.
Thanks, Kristen said.
Jennifer, right? Agent Leung asked.
Yeah, Jennifer said.
Thank you for helping Kristen to the nurses office, Agent Bell said.
Youre welcome, Jennifer said, with surprise
I should have been there rather than leading Sandi away! Cindy said.
You couldnt have known, Kristen said.
Thanks, Cindy said with a smile.
So, are you getting out any time soon? Jennifer asked.
They are going to keep me overnight for observation, in case there are any other issues, Kristen said.
Ok, Jennifer said.
Elias, Quinn and Dennis got off the Jefferson Bridge and entered Lawndales main business/shopping area. They could see that it was 10 past 4 according to the Court House clock tower in the distance.
Ok, it is likely that Sandi is somewhere here, Quinn said.
True, perhaps we should split up, that would make her wonder who really has it, Elias suggested.
Are you sure? Quinn asked.
Yes, you can go to the library and research the history books for instances of genie activity, Elias said.
Quinn looked at Elias in horror. Thats more Darias territory, she said.
But Daria is not here, Elias said, trying to defeat Quinns charm. She certainly knows how to use it. A metaphoric light bulb lit in Eliass head. That gives me an idea.
Yeah? Quinn asked.
Ok, you can go to the library and ask any cute boys there to do the research for you. I may take you to Chez Pierre later, Elias said.
Quinn thought. Thats a good idea, Elias. A bargain worthy of Daria, she said with a nervous laugh.
She turned to go. She realised something. She asked Elias how she was to tell him what her helpers found.
Elias said that he would be by later, but said that he would be at the second hand bookstore.
Quinn then said goodbye and went towards the older public library in Third Street.
Soon, Elias and Dennis parted ways, when Elias told Dennis of the emerald. Dennis reacted as Elias had expected. He demanded the emerald for himself, and Elias wished himself to the Lawndale Second Hand Books store. He wasnt to know what Dennis was planning...
Quinn arrived at the library. She quickly found her first victim, or rather, volunteer. Hi, have you heard of the events at Lawndale High today?
I have heard of something that happened there yesterday, the eighth grader said.
Close enough. Would you like to look in the history books for any mention of genies? Quinn asked, her charm at full intensity.
Sure. Whats your name?
The eighth grader went towards the 900 section of the Non-Fiction section.
Quinn smiled and began looking for another boy to ask.
Dennis had heard where Elias had wished himself to. He arrived at the Lawndale Second Hand Books store at 4:13.
He entered the store and quickly found Elias. Give me that emerald, Elias Howarth!
No, Dennis! Elias said.
Dennis reached, and grabbed the emerald. He quickly removed the necklace from around Eliass neck, and then bolted from the store. Elias bolted after him.
Dennis ran out onto the street. I wish that a tornado would form on Sloane Hill and move in this direction!
No! Elias shouted.
The wish granting sound was heard. Dennis smiled a wicked smile and laughed manically as the ripples generated by the emerald emanated into the sky and towards Sloane Hill.
The cumulonimbus clouds that had formed from Tiffanys wish at recess had hung over the town all day. With Denniss wish they grew denser and a funnel formed...
...We interrupt our usual programming to bring news of a tornado sighting to the southeast of Lawndale...
At the Pizza King, Scarlett froze in the middle of a sentence. What? Tananda asked.
Something has just happened, Scarlett said.
What something? Stacy asked.
I dont know, but its something rather bad, Scarlett said.
Daria rolled her eyes.
You may scoff, Daria, but something has happened! Tananda stated.
Are you sure? Daria asked. She may have been involved in strange events at school that day, but she was sceptical about anything else supernatural.
I dont know where to begin, but if Scarlett says that something bad is happening, I know that something is going on, Tananda said vehemently.
Um, guys, Jane said nervously from where she stood near the window.
What is it, Jane? Daria asked as she got up.
Look at that! Jane said, pointing in the distance.
The group all ran over to the windows. Daria was the first to notice the funnel.
Uh oh!
Oh no! Stacy said, and fainted. Tananda caught her as she fell.
Yes, thats the bad thing! Scarlett said, with her eyes wide.
There is nothing we can do against that! Tananda said.
And Quinn may be in the middle of it! Daria said.
I agree, Tom said.
Jane turned to Tananda. There is something we can do about it! she said.
You mean find the emerald and unwish it? Tananda asked.
Um, yeah, Jane said.
That is a long shot, Jane. We still dont know where the emerald is. Nor do we know where, Jean, Quinn, Sandi or Elias are, Daria said.
Good point, Jane said.
Guys, Scarlett said.
Going in the direction of that tornado would not be a good idea, Tananda said as she placed Stacy onto a pair of seats.
Thats obvious, Tom said.
Guys!Scarlett said, louder than before.
Yeah? Daria said, turning back.
The tornado is coming in this direction! Scarlett said.
Uh oh! Jane said.
Right, we may need to go somewhere else! Tananda suggested.
My place? Jane suggested.
I guess so, Daria said.
Lets go, Tom said.
They quickly arranged to leave, with Scarlett and Tananda carrying Stacy to Trents car.
The Settlement
The parents were continuing to discuss their plans when a text message came to Andrew Landons cell phone.
Andrew looked at it.
From: LANDON ENGINEERING MAINFR41M
WLND Report; Tornado sighted south east of Lawndale. It is moving in the direction of the centre of town.
What is it, Dad? Jodie asked, seeing the concern on her fathers face.
Andrew cleared his throat. According to the news, there is a tornado coming!
Tornado!? Helen stated. Who would wish for something like that!?
Almost immediately the parents began to run around in panic.
Jodie put her hand to her forehead. Thats great! The adults are panicking!
Tornaaado? Tiffany said, confused. Then she realised Oooh nooo! Some one wiiishing for thaaat? Sooo wrong!
Oh, Anastasia, why didnt I let you get a cell phone? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Elizabeth said, as she ran about in panic.
Helen, however, was not so panicked. Elizabeth, calm down! She could see that her daughters friends mother was not listening, so she grabbed her shoulders and shook her slightly. Elizabeth, get a hold of yourself!
The shaking brought Elizabeth out of her panic. Thanks, Helen. I needed that, but I dont know where Anastasia is!
Im sure Daria has the sense to stay away from the Tornado, Helen said.
I hope so, Elizabeth said. I mean, I all know about Daria is that Quinn thinks shes weird, which could mean anything.
Yes, Helen said, sighing.
Morgendorffer Consulting
Jake Morgendorffer was bored, he had finished his latest proposal for one of his clients an hour before, and was playing two deck Solitaire.
Then the news about the tornado came onto the radio. Gaaggghh, Tornado! Here? But Lawndale is nowhere
Tornado Alley!
He ran to the window and looked out. He saw the funnel in the distance.
He then went to the phone and dialled his wifes cell number.
Cedars of Lawndale
Thats not good, Jennifer said when she heard the radio.
Immediately, both Agents beepers beeped. Agent Bell turned to her daughter. Im afraid I have to go, honey, she said.
I understand, Kristen said.
Well be back as soon as we can, Agent Leung said. Both kissed their daughter on the cheek before waving and heading out.
Im not sure what they can do about the tornado, Kristen murmured.
You want me to call your brother? Jennifer asked.
Sure, Kristen said.
Cindy moved closer as Jennifer left to find a payphone. I hope it isnt anywhere near the hospital, she said.
The radio said, the south east, so I guess not, Kristen said.
Yeah, Cindy said.
Varmittan Palace-Tree
Tornado? the Emporer asked.
Yes, Sire, a tornado. It is approaching the centre of Lawndale from the south-east.
The Emperor rose from his throne and walked to the edge of the Palace-Trees mid-canopy viewing deck. From that vantage-point he could see the supercell in the distance, although not the tornado itself. I hope that this is unrelated to the genie issue, he said.
The likelihood of that would be low, Sire.
Im aware of that!
Jean was at the Griffin residence having an afternoon snack. She noticed the emerald granting Denniss wish in her absence. Thats not good, Dennis Monk! she thought. She decided to remain where she was for the time being though.
She went upstairs to the guest room, where she had slept the night before, and looked to the east. Over the roof of one of the neighbouring houses (she noticed the
on the mailbox), she saw the funnel. Cannot be more than an F1, she thought, thankful that Dennis didnt specify intensity. She then saw Linda pull into the driveway. Something seemed to be happening.
Jean came down the stairs as Linda opened the door. Jean, do you know if Sandi is here? There is a report about a tornado.
I dont know where she is. She could be anywhere in Lawndale. But what about Sam and Chris?
They are at friends houses for the afternoon, in areas of Lawndale away from where the tornado appears to be going. I have to look for Sandi, Linda said with slight concern for her daughter.
That would be a good idea, Jean said.
Linda just stared at Jean briefly before going upstairs. She soon came down and left in a rush. I guess that I have the house to myself, she thought.

Gucci Guilty pour Homme by Gucci
Guilty! Guilty for making such a lousy fragrance indeed. After all those kings. After Envy for men, Gucci PH I and even not that much old PH II, you discontinue them and replace them with this utter bollocks? Gucci PH by Gucci is almost, almost - I don't know - something, if it was stronger I just might "jump" on it, but this? Sure there's an appealing note but please, Gucci, you've ruined your name with this. Relaunch the old kings!

The Pickle is a 1993 film produced, written, and directed by Paul Mazursky, telling the story of a formerly powerful film director whose recent string of flops has forced him to make a commercial piece that is artistically uninspired. The absurdity of the film within the film satirizes big-budget Hollywood pictures, while the rest of the story serves as a character study of fictitious film director Harry Stone.

Roseland Elementary School fourth-grader Maria Ponce found strength in numbers Wednesday morning when she convinced her mom to let her forgo the car ride and instead walk to school.
Ponce met up with fellow Roseland students at a so-called walking bus stop Wednesday morning and walked with an adult to the Sebastopol Road campus to mark international Walk and Roll to School Day.
"She's scared that a car might run over us," Ponce said. "But when we met over there, there was a lot of kids so she said it was OK."
Walk to School Day
There were a lot of people out walking Wednesday thanks in part to the 13th annual event in which students from more than 50 schools across Sonoma County said "No thanks" to a lift from mom or dad. Last year, 33 schools took part.
"It's kind of exploded this year," said Beth Dadko, an event coordinator with Safe Kids Sonoma County. "The whole point is to get people out there to try it, to get people to see that it's not that hard, they can do it."
Organizers say the goal of Walk and Roll to School Day is multifaceted: reduce traffic and carbon emissions, save money on gas and encourage exercise among students.
"I think health-wise, what we want to talk about is starting healthy habits while they are young," said Julie Brandt, principal at Cloverdale's Washington School.
Parents and volunteers organized walking school buses, where adults lead a small group of younger students on a walk to school where they were met in some cases by balloons, Frisbees, pencils, activity books and stickers.
For older students used to being dropped off and picked up, changing habits can be a little trickier, said Healdsburg Junior High science teacher Kathy Alexander.
"They are not really going to do something for a Frisbee," she said. "To me, eighth-graders are usually almost late. It's an attitude of &'Just drop me off.' To them, it's not a cool thing. We have to make it a little bit cool to walk."

A group of coal miners in Ohio feel they would have been fired if they did not attend an Aug. 14 event with presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and contribute to his campaign — and to make matters worse, they lost of day of pay for their trouble. "There were no workers that were forced to attend the event," management said. "We had managers that communicated to our work force that the attendance at the Romney event was mandatory, but no one was forced to attend the event."

Olfactory epithelium. Computer artwork showing the structure of the specialised layer of tissue that lines the inside of the nasal cavity and is involved in smell. In humans, the olfactory epithelium measures about 1 square centimetre (in each nostril) and sits on the roof of the nasal cavity about 7 cm above and behind the nostrils. Olfaction, along with taste, is a form of chemoreception, which turns a chemical stimulus (in this case odours) into a nerve impulse. For the labelled diagram see image C008/9745.
Science Photo Library was founded in 1981 by Michael Marten, one of the authors of "Worlds Within Worlds", a book exploring different ways to observe the universe - from electron micrographs, to images of earthrise taken from the Apollo spacecraft. When Marten started receiving requests for the beautiful images in the book, he had an idea of setting up Science Photo Library. Since then, Science Photo Library has continued to work alongside world acclaimed photographers and the leading science and medical experts to provide a central source of the best science and specialist imagery available. Although the collection started with scientific images, it has grown to encompass all aspects of science and their impact on everyday life.

Sagmeister And Walsh For The NY Jewish MuseumDesign // Tuesday, April 29, 2014
Rebranding an iconic and historical institution is perhaps a dream job for any creative, especially after seeing Sagmeister & Walsh's brand new execution for the New York Jewish Museum.

Andy Rementer "Meet Me Later" @ Mondo CaneJuxtapoz // Tuesday, April 29, 2014
April 2014 cover artist Andy Rementer will be returning to Mondo Cane in NYC with his third solo show of new and previously un-shown paintings and drawings on Thursday, May 1st. The "Meet Me Later" series transports us to seemingly familiar street corners, interiors and subway platforms populated by characters caught in frozen moments of furtive activity. The work has a timeless quality which seems to draw from influences as diverse as Léger, The Italian Renaissance and even the narrative economy of Raymond Carver. Ambigiuous narratives connect the work, while Rementer's use of bold colour, street signage, and textile pattern create further layers and stories of their own.
Day to NightPhotography // Tuesday, April 29, 2014
Photographer Stephen Wilkes has created a unique body of work that captures the bustle and vivaciousness of cities across the globe. In his images, Wilkes photographs each scene over the course of an entire day from early morning to night and then compiles these images to create photographs that capture each city's full cycle of activity. The scenes usually include a section of full daytime exposure that seamlessly fades into a nighttime portion that includes longer exposures showing blurs of colored motion.

Hyper Realistic Paintings by Roberto BernardiJuxtapoz // Tuesday, April 29, 2014
Italian artist Roberto Bernardi will be opening an exhibition of new hyper realistic paintings at Bernarducci Meisel Gallery in NYC on May 1st. Bernardi spends up to a month creating each painting, using traditional painting techniques of oil on canvas. 'I normally focus on subjects considered banal, like the inside of a fridge, a washing-up machine, the inside of a sweet machine or simply sweets themselves. I like to portray them from an interesting point of view that reveals how interesting they actually are.'

Troll (Internet) This sense of the word troll and its associated verb trolling are associated with Internet discourse, but have been used more widely.
Media attention in recent years has equated trolling with online harassment. For example, mass media has used troll to describe "a person who defaces Internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families. "[7][8] Usage The advice to ignore rather than engage with a troll is sometimes phrased as "Please do not feed the trolls.
" Application of the term troll is subjective. As noted in an OS News article titled "Why People Troll and How to Stop Them" (January 25, 2012), "The traditional definition of trolling includes intent. Regardless of the circumstances, controversial posts may attract a particularly strong response from those unfamiliar with the robust dialogue found in some online, rather than physical, communities. The "trollface" is an image occasionally used to indicate trolling in Internet culture.[15][16][17] Origin and etymology. Gay Nigger Association of America. Members of the GNAA also founded Goatse Security, a grey hat information security group.
Members of Goatse Security released information in June 2010 about email addresses on AT&T's website from people who had subscribed to mobile data service using the iPad. After the vulnerability was disclosed, the then-president of the GNAA, weev, and GNAA member "JacksonBrown" were arrested.[8] Origins, known members and name The group is run by a president,[5] but little else is known about its internal structure. New media researcher Andrew Lih has stated that it is unclear whether or not there was initially a clearly defined group of GNAA members, or if founding and early members of the GNAA were online troublemakers united under the name in order to disrupt websites.[9] However, professor Jodi Dean and MIT graduate Ross Cisneros state that they are an organized group of anti-blogging trolls.[6][10] Reporters also refer to the GNAA as a group.[11][12][13] Trolling 2000s.

Name a roach after your sweetheart for Valentine's Day. You and your sweetheart sitting in a tree, H-I-S-S-I-N-G.
"Nothing says forever like a cockroach," said Jim Breheny, senior vice president for Living Institutions and director of the Bronx Zoo, in a statement. "They are resourceful, resilient, and have been around for hundreds of millions of years. " Of course, if you find it more appropriate, you could always name one after an "ex" too.
Either way, naming the roach takes no more than a $10 donation, which includes an e-card to the recipient announcing that a cockroach has been named in his or her honor. The donation goes toward the Wildlife Conservation Society's push to protect wildlife — whether beautiful or ugly — around the world. Madagascar hissing cockroaches are among the largest cockroaches in the world. Academic Video Lectures.

Patty McGee and Archies
On a weekday in November, Patty McGee talked in a rapid-fire style, punctuated by advice on making it in the restaurant industry. She probably shouldn't have been talking at all. She was under doctor's orders to be quiet to recover her voice from polyp surgery. But McGee forged ahead, first in a whisper that gradually cleared to nearly full but still-strained voice.
"I planted every plant here," said McGee, on the front deck outside Archie's Seabreeze, the Hutchinson Island restaurant she has owned since 1994. McGee pulled out an album full of fading photos of the landscaping job from bare earth to the tropical get-away it is now.
McGee not only planted the trees and shrubs, she also was the chief — make that the only — cook and bottle-washer while she grew Archie's into a Fort Pierce South Beach landmark.
After a youthful McGee left her hometown of Louisville, Ky., she traveled the U.S., she said, settling occasionally in odd places from Alaska to Hawaii. Twenty-one years ago, she moved to the Treasure Coast and settled for good.
"I came here to take over the Beachwood," she said, pointing toward the beachfront inn. She ended up working in the kitchen at Archie's Seabreeze. When the restaurant's namesake died, the family put it up for sale.
"It had been for sale for four years and some friends from Alaska and Oregon were here visiting me," McGee said. "They offered to help me buy it."
"I had known when I walked on the property the first time that this is it," she said. So she bought what was then a small bar with a second-floor apartment.
"I cooked, I tended bar, I waited tables, washed dishes and cleaned the restaurant for three years," she said. "I did the shopping. I worked really hard and lived in the apartment upstairs."
Eventually, McGee hired a bartender. Then she began to add additional staff as she expanded the dining room and added a patio and several thousand square feet of deck and outdoor bars around the restaurant.
Today it takes 32 people to operate the iconic Archie's Seabreeze which, under McGee's hand, has become a regular home to tourists, locals, bikers, fundraising events and even a church on Sunday morning.
The restaurant has asked for a lot of sacrifices from McGee. "I have the greatest life. But I am alone," she said in a contemplative voice. But this is Patty McGee, a determined iconoclast who will zig when other people zag.
McGee confirmed that she couldn't have built her restaurant any other way, concluding "I eat it. I sleep it. I live it. I love it."

CORVALLIS — With their backs to the wall entering the final game of a three-game series against the Corvallis Knights, the Walla Walla Sweets rose to the challenge Monday afternoon.
A season-high 13 runs crossed the plate, and Walla Walla pitching fought its way through tough innings, to give the Sweets the 13-8 win and avoid the series sweep in West Coast League play.
In the first inning, Walla Walla's Parker Osborne went deep for his second home run of the season.
But the Knights roared back in the bottom half for three runs against Walla Walla starter Cody Carroll.
The Sweets tied the score in the third on singles by Cooper Hummel, Jarod Gonzales and Andrew Mendenhall, and a two-run double by Jordan Frabasilio.
After the Sweets extended their lead to four runs in the fourth behind three walks and a Corvallis error, the Knights answered with one run in the home half on a Scott Quinlan triple and a sacrifice fly by Alec Smith to make it 5-4.
But after the Knights tied the game again in the bottom of the fifth via a Sweets throwing error, neither team scored the next two innings.
Jay Flaa took over for Carroll in the seventh inning, inheriting runners at first and second with two out. After walking Joe Duffin to load the bases, he struck out Jackson Soto on a 3-2 pitch to escape the inning unharmed.
In the eighth, Walla Walla broke the tie with a Mendenhall RBI double off the left-field wall that scored Osborne from first.
Entering the ninth inning with a 6-5 lead, the Sweets looked for some insurance runs — and got more.
Mike Paulson led off with a double and moved to third on Russell Crippen's single.
Ryan Littlefield struck out, but J.J. Robinson walked to load the bases for Hummel, who singled just beyond the outstretched glove of second baseman Kevin Farley.
Gonzales drew a bases-loaded walk to force home a run, and after Mendenhall singled home a pair, Frabasilio scored one with another single and Paulson doubled home two more to make it 13-5.
Flaa walked two of the first three Knights batters in the ninth before serving up a three-run homer to Duffin, but the Sweets held on to improve to 4-5 on the season.
Mendenhall went 4-for-6 with two RBI, and Frabasilio was 3-for-5 while driving in four for the Sweets.
The Sweets return to Borleske Stadium today to face Kelowna at 7:05.

This summer I had my eyes set on visiting and staying at this lovely B&B in Two Harbors, Minnesota. Mission accomplished and I was not disappointed. My sister accompanied me and we stayed in the Skiff House, which is a separate building on the grounds. We chose this for sleeping as it had two beds and a wonderful soaking jacuzzi tub!
The grounds are beautifully maintained and the interior lovingly restored. There is even a photo of the wife of the keeper in the dining room sitting next to the buffet currently in the home.
They did an excellent job turning the Skiff House into sleeping quarters with private bath and tub. While this is not "historic" inside, it is so very comfortable with a lovely seating area with a view of the harbor, A skiff is a boat with wheels used to transfer goods from the boats in the harbor up the hill to the property, I believe. There is also a seating area outside the gift shop with a picnic table for gathering.
The hostess, Rose, was welcoming with a homemade lemon curd desert and coffee awaiting us as we checked in. The morning breakfast gathering at 9 a.m. was a special treat with home cooked treats of a fruit soup with orange mint glaze, eggs with Hollandaise Sauce on English Muffins, breakfast potatoes and sausages. This was in addition to an apple-cranberry juice and coffee, of course. Tastefully presented, too, I might add.
The lighthouse building itself has three rooms and while we did not see them, as they were occupied, we did see the shared bath and the upper light house area. All spotlessly clean, restored and a special experience.
I rarely give an "excellent" rating but in this case, it seems appropriate.
Two points that were not "excellent" but rather unimportant really but since this is a review, here goes:
1 - The coffee was a bit on the weak side for my taste but that is a personal choice.
2 - No internet service on site, but they do have several options in town if one needs to be connected. Phone service, was just fine.
Being in Two Harbors at the Lighthouse was not just a great place to sleep but a memorable experience in a beautiful location with lots of history and peace.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Perched on the rocky shoreline overlooking Lake Superior and Agate Bay. The LightHouse Bed & Breakfast offers an overnight experience like no other. You can bask in the historical flavor of this turn of the century building then explore the diverse recreational opportunities and wealth of year-round natural beauty the North Shore has to offer. ... more less

How do sexual cues affect consumer behavior? New research from USC Marshall School of Business Assistant Professor of Marketing Kyu Kim and Gal Zauberman, associate professor of marketing at The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, reveals the reasons why sexual cues cause us to be impatient and can affect monetary decisions.
Their paper, "Can Victoria's Secret Change the Future: A Subjective Time Perception Account of Sexual Cue Effects on Impatience," departs from earlier theories indicating that impatience in response to sexual cues is solely an outcome of escalated desire for immediate gratification. Kim and Zauberman hold that the cognitive processes put into play by sexual cues are more complicated; arousal, the researchers contend, actually affects our perception of time.
For example, in one of five studies conducted, male subjects were presented with sexually charged imagery. Afterwards, the subjects were asked to judge whether three and six-month time frames were "very short" or "very long" distances away from the present time. Those who had been exposed to individuals to whom they were attracted, reported the three and six-month time frames to be further into the future than others in the control group, according to the study.
In another study, the researchers presented 116 males with images from an online Victoria's Secret catalog and gauged their response to receiving one of two fictitious Amazon.com promotions: a gift certificate available that day or one available three months from now. They asked the subjects the dollar value that would compensate for having to wait. Those exposed to sexually charged imagery (versus those in a control group exposed to nature images) were found to be more impatient and expressed that future discounts would have to be steeper to compensate for the time delay.

Coming off a well-orchestrated release campaign, Singularity's first week scans have been incredibly impressive so far – particularly physical copies. The metalcore outfit's main competition comes from New York indie legends The Strokes, who released Comedown Machine last week and are looking for their second consecutive number one, as well as current number one Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience.
Achieving Gold accreditation in the first week, Timberlake's likely to attract strong digital sales this week and is currently top of the iTunes chart.
Other strong debuts this week will come from British India, with Controller, and Emma Louise, with Vs. Head Vs. Heart. The figures indicate that both albums are aiming to crack the top ten, but they're a little behind the sales of Northlane, who have a genuine shot at the top rung.
In the ARIA Singles Chart Passenger's Let Her Go will be looking to take top spot from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' Can't Hold Us. Getting close last week, the UK singer/songwriter's resurgence will have to compete with MKTO, Rihanna, Nelly and a new track from will.i.am and Justin Bieber. Let Her Go is still the number one track on iTunes though, which does suggest it hasn't peaked just yet.
This week's new sets include tunes from locals Little May (our Album Of The Week), Art Vs Science, Dan Kelly and Boy & Bear, plus releases from Tom Jones, The Decembrists and Mayday Parade.

Veterans land loan rates fall to record low
The Texas Veterans Land Board has voted to drop interest rates on land loans to a record low — 6.75 percent.
"I hope every veteran in Texas hears about these record low rates," said Jerry Patterson, chairman of the VLB. "This is a great benefit they have earned and should take advantage of."
Texas veterans now can take advantage of the VLB's low-interest rate loans to borrow as much as $100,000 to buy land. The previous rate was 7.25 percent. The practice of rewarding veterans for their service with land in Texas goes back to before the Republic. After World War II, Texas created the VLB to oversee the land loan program, which eventually expanded to offer home and home improvement loans.
Since taking office in 2003, Patterson has raised the amount Texas veterans may borrow for a home from $150,000 up to $417,000. Buying land through the VLB has gotten easier, too.
The VLB has reduced the minimum acreage that could be bought with a VLB land loan from five acres to one acre, making it easier for veterans to buy lots closer to urban areas. A Texas veteransimultaneously can have a VLB land loan, a VLB home loan and a VLB home improvement loan.
"No other state can match what the VLB offers: low-cost home, land and home improvement loans; skilled nursing facilities and cemeteries — all exclusively for Texas veterans or their spouses," Patterson said. "And all of our programs are self-funding, which is good news for Texas taxpayers."

The cartoon world of Edd Gould.
i liked it a lot but mine had a glitch were the colors were messed up :/ i mean im no expert on flags or anything but im pretty sure Britain's flag isn't solid pink lol
I won the game! Maybe you should make extra races which are unlocked when all the originals are won. Also more cheats, New platforms, new skills (Jumping & Landing) and a Plantnium Crown for winning the extra levels.
I thought this was better than the first Ducklife. The old one had different things completely, from the colors to the music. I give this 3 stars.... its boring after a while. Even though there are only 3 stars, give it a try anyway. You might like it.
Interesting game but...
While I enjoyed Duck life, the reason I give duck life 2 a 1/10 is for the simple reason that it is a copy past of the original game, and should have at least been updated, better graphics, innovation something to make it you know, worthy of the 2 instead of just being an expansion of the original concept.
give a submission a vote 5 and have my comments rated 10 already :l

New ad agencies for Logan's
Nashville-based restaurant chain Logan's Roadhouse has picked two new advertising agencies after a competitive review. Execs at the company — which had been using Loomis of Dallas since mid-2011 — chose SapientNitro to handle its general, digital, social and creative work, website design and restaurant merchandising. Omnicom unit Zimmerman Advertising will take care of integrated media planning and buying duties.
"Both SapientNitro and Zimmerman Advertising demonstrated an understanding of the Logan's Roadhouse guest, our brand and the opportunities in our marketplace," said Logan's Roadhouse chief marketing officer, Todd Townsend. "As opportunities for expanding guest relationships and dialogue increases and the need for precise marketing and media targeting continues to grow, we are evolving our marketing mix to build even more dynamic relationships with our guests across all opportunities."
The change appears already to have resulted in a tweaking of the company's logo, with a cleaner version (right) replacing the old neon-heavy look.

This old saying has been around almost as long as people have been eating oysters. Nevertheless, why do they suggest that oysters should only be eaten in months with an "r" in them? When can you eat raw oysters with an r in the month or not or must oyster lovers be bereft of their favorite seafood from May through August?
While some think that it was the heat of summer that would cause an oyster to go bad more quickly, that led to this unwritten rule, it has to do with spawning season. Oysters spawn when the water warms in the summer.
Spawning releases hormones inside the oyster, making the creature soft and milky-textured rather than firm and plump. You can eat an oyster safely in this condition; it just is not as palatable as it would be the rest of the year. Because of this, it is often recommended to only eat oysters from cold, northern waters during the summer.
After the waters begin to cool again, oysters stock up on glycogen, making them firm and plump once more. This is why oysters are tastier in the fall and winter.
Commercial oyster companies have come up with two different methods to provide oysters during the summer. Some companies choose to quick freeze oysters individually so they can be thawed and served "raw" during the summer. It is perfectly fine to ask if you are getting frozen oysters during the summer months.
The other method that is used by many oyster farms is growing sexless oysters. Ken Chew, the Associate Dean of the University of Washington College of Ocean and Fishery Science gets the credit for developing triploid, or sexless oysters. Sexless oysters do not spawn, so they do not get low on glycogen during the summer months. They can still be harvested for diners all over the world for summer eating.
So, do you really need to listen to the old adage any longer? Not really. However, if you want to avoid frozen oysters, be sure to ask at the oyster bar if they are fresh or frozen. Save your frozen oysters for cooking and go for the fresh every time if you are eating them on the half shell.
Use the summer to try exotic oysters from other ports of call; perhaps you would like to try some of the European varieties for a change, or choose some from the opposite coast. The best way to get oysters you like is to describe the flavors you like to your server and they can recommend what they have in stock that day that will fit your preferences.
One good reason to stick with cold water oysters in the summer is the Vibrio vulnificu bacteria. This is a bacterium that is always present in oysters, but it is more prevalent in warmer waters during warmer weather.
This bacterium does not pose a threat in a healthy individual, but for those with chronic disease or weakened immunity, it can become life threatening. Cooking kills off the bacteria, however, rendering the oysters perfectly safe to eat.
