It was Tuesday that I found out the next Halo book, Halo: The Thursday War by Karen Traviss, was out; it was Wednesday that someone told me the live action series Forward Unto Dawn was starting that Friday; and, well, with all that I started to get all exicted about Halo again. On Thursday - appropriately enough - I bought the book, and on Friday I watched the first episode of Forward Unto Dawn. The book takes up right where Glasslands (Karen's previous book) left off. A special ops team is on the planet Sanghelios, homeworld to the Elites, working on getting the different groups of Elites to fight with each other. It's a dirty job. One that's probably going to get dirtier too. The live action series had me commenting that it was like a "Halo High School". I liked it though. It's kinda hard to say if it's good or not so early on.
Then I booted up Halo: Reach, and started in on the daily challenges. I love doing the daily and weekly challenges. I usually just do the co-op campaign and Firefight ones, but occationally I'll do a multiplayer one if it seems like something I can do in just a few matches. Competitive Halo really frustrates me a lot. I figured I'd do the daily challenges all the way up to the release of Halo 4.
Once I was done with the daily challenges with a buddy of mine on Saturday afternoon, I started in on the first DLC of Borderlands, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned. This image is the very first area you come to.
This DLC is perfect to play around Halloween time what with all the zombies and grim visuals such as the Creepy Treehouse in Hollow's End as shown above. On Sunday, after I did the Halo: Reach daily challenges, it took me the rest of the day to complete the Island's achievements, ending on the mission to supply a special someone from the main game with zombie brains - like a total of 435 of them! The brains only pop out of zombies if you get a critical hit and sometimes not even then. I found the Lumber Yard to be the best place to collect brains because there are a lot more zombies there than anywhere else on the Island. Still it took a while.
There was one achievement from the main game I hadn't got: the rescue all the claptraps one; but there was one claptrap to be rescued in the Lumber Yard, and it got me that achievement. So now I've got all the achievements for the content I own so far. Yippie! Next, I downloaded the Underdome DLC and just watched the opening cinematic of Moxxi being a real despicable you-know-what, but it was really funny. This game has got a great sense of humor about it.
Then I had to wrap it up, leave my friend's place, and go see a movie - which is what I do most Sunday nights around 10pm. I saw Resident Evil: Retribution. This movie plays out much like an extended cut scene from a game, and I think that's intentional. It's a extremely visual movie, and what I mean by that is it's mostly concerned with how each scene looks and how each character moves through it. Dialog is kept to a minimum, and I would extend that to even facial expressions. I swear they told the actors to use as little facial expression and facial movement as possible when they talked to keep them as close to what you see in facial animation in a game. Still, I really appreciate the vanity of this movie because I'm a visual person and am just fine watching the absolutely beautiful settings and gorgeous acrobatic fight choreography. I did almost laugh a few times at the unplausibility of most of the action and situations, but I feel that's ok because that's what I come to a movie like this for -not for realism, but for pure fantasy. The movie followed its own logic and I'm fine - even happy - with that.

Aloha, Hawaii!
Well, despite being there for two full weeks, our trip to Kauai seemed to fly by, especially by the end of the trip. We made it home safely to Alabama yesterday morning, and are settling back into our day-to-day life. SIGH.
Post-vacation depression is a real thing, right?
It was a great trip. Here are some final photos of how we wrapped the week up.
We took a hike with my parents one afternoon to Sleeping Giant– a tough hike that was all uphill for the first half. Lila hiked the whole way up and down, and did awesome– I was impressed!
We also went out on a boat tour, which was so much fun. We saw dolphins and sea turtles, and stopped to snorkel. If I had to choose between this and the helicopter tour, I'd definitely choose the helicopter. BUT, the boat tour was great too, and the kids had fun and loved seeing the dolphins.
Beyond that…we just had fun! We visited the pool a few more times, went to the beach, went out for a nice dinner at The Beach House (so good!), explored the town of Hanapepe…just had a great time!
I will admit, I am happy to be home– including our Seattle trip, we were gone for three full weeks. We missed the dogs and Tenny! But, what a wonderful vacation this was– I'm so grateful that we had the chance to explore such a cool place and spend so much time with family. Lila really misses her cousins from both sides of the family when we're home in Alabama, so to be able to spend three full weeks all around family was a special treat, especially for her. I'm not sure when we'll get back to Hawaii (that trip back– yikes!), but I hope to, someday. It is so beautiful.
And now…we only have three weeks until school starts again. How is that possible?!? Eek!
Kauai from the Sky
Another "must do" item on our list for this vacation was a helicopter tour– we heard from several people that taking a helicopter tour is the best way to see parts of the island that you would never otherwise get to see. We set up two tours with Jack Harter Helicopters– my parents took care of the grandkids while me, Ryan, and my sister and her husband went; then, we switched out and my parents went.
We had the option of flying in a helicopter with the doors on or off, and although it made *some* of us nervous, we opted for doors off. I figure, if you're going down, those doors aren't going to make a different anyway, right?😉
After we got to the helicopter place, we had a quick safety briefing, then they carted us in a van to the launch pad, about 5 minutes away. And then…it was up, up and away!
Luckily, we made it out alive. And, everyone was right– it was awesome. It definitely gave you a huge appreciation for the island. Plus, our helicopter pilot was a great tour guide– he pointed out various sites and details, while providing interesting commentary (but not talking the whole time). Plus, he pointed out a bunch of celebrity's houses– you know I liked that.
Again, a helicopter tour is probably not something that I would do on many vacations, but it was a great choice to do it here on Kauai. I would definitely recommend this as a must-do!
Holy Hike, Batman!
Kauai is known for having beautiful hikes all over the island, and Ryan and I do love to hike, so we knew that we'd want to take advantage of that while we were here. Some of them have been close to where we're staying (on the South end), like the Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail:
But I read that a lot of the best hiking was on the North end of the island, at the Na'Pali Coast State Park. We knew that these hikes would be too tough for the kiddos– they're supposed to be really muddy, tough trails, with a lot of dangerous ledges and drop offs– not exactly a place you want to take a 3,4, and 6 year-old (plus a baby!). We all really wanted to do the hikes, however– our helicopter pilot (more on that in another post) said that if there was one hike you did on Kauai, you needed to do the hike to Hanakapi'ai Falls– an eight mile hike. The first two miles take you to a beach, then it's another two to the waterfall.
We all kind of went back and forth on whether or not to try for the waterfall. In the end, we decided that all of the adults would try to hike to the beach, and then whoever wanted to continue on to the falls could do so. We found a highly recommended sitter service and left the kids at home to watch Aladdin– which was much preferred by them, haha. And, we set off for the North shore! After about an hour and a half of driving, we were ready to hike!
The hike was difficult from the get-go– lots of climbing up steep bluffs, which paid off with amazing views of the coast:
About one mile in, it got even tougher– very MUDDY. My parents ended up turning around about 1.5 miles in, and I don't blame them– it was a hike that you had to take very slowly, and the mud made it especially difficult. I found myself slipping and sliding on the trail multiple times.
Finally, after two long miles, we made it to the final obstacle. Before the beach, you have to cross a pretty big river– yikes! The current was strong, but it wasn't that bad once you actually started crossing– it looked scarier than it actually was, but I was kind of freaked out about it!
After crossing the river, we were rewarded with the beach– finally! It was a beautiful spot to eat our lunch:
The four of us (my sister and brother-in-law, plus me and Ryan) debated a bit on whether or not to continue on to the falls. The guidebooks and trail signs really did say that it was a difficult trail, only meant for strong hikers. Ryan and I hike quite a bit, but the trails we do are pretty easy. We were also thinking about the time– it took us a full hour and half just to hike the two miles to the beach, and going on to the waterfall would mean another three hours altogether, at least.
But…after some back and forth, my sister said, "We are going to regret it if we don't do this"– and we all knew she was right. So…it was on to the falls!
The trail really was treacherous– muddy, muddy, muddy, with a lot of river and stream crossings, ledges to walk across, and boulders to crawl over. It was probably the hardest hike I've done to date. We didn't get a lot of pictures because we were too busy trying not to die, heh.
But, finally, we were rewarded with a sneak peek of the falls:
…and we knew we were getting close!
Finally…we made it to Hanakapi' ai Falls! And it was beautiful:
We swam in the pool– it was FREEZING and the wind was blowing water all over our faces. But again, it was worth it.
And then…after lots of pictures…it was time to turn around and begin the hike back. Womp, womp.
This hike was amazing and definitely worth the effort. It can be harder to do these types of things once you're traveling with kids, but I'm so glad that we found a way to do this hike– it is one that I will remember forever. And my legs will remember it for a long time too. ;-)
Just Another Day in Paradise…
What else is there to say?
We've been having a blast, exploring beaches, hikes, canyons, and waterfalls. On Thursday (I think?), we drove up a winding, winding road to Waimea Canyon, the "Grand Canyon of Hawaii." I've never been to the Grand Canyon, but I was pretty impressed!
After viewing the canyon, we hiked around a bit with the kids…and rewarded ourselves with GIANT shave ices:
Just a little sugar.
That night, we were beat from the day, so we just relaxed and ate dinner at the pool. The kids soaked their weary bones in the hot tub:
Yesterday, we drove up to Wailua Falls:
…which apparently you used to be able to hike down to, but now can only view from above. Womp, womp. Oh well– they were still beautiful!
Afterwards, we headed to Lydgate State Park, which was a beautiful state park with a really cool playground that Charlie loved swinging at, plus a GREAT children's beach.
I strapped Charlie in the Ergo so that he could nap, and we strolled the "big" beach too:
So pretty!
Finally, a few days back, we explored a local farmers market, and indulged in some great Hawaiian treats:
We are having so much fun. Hawaii has been a great choice for kids AND adults– there is so much to do, and we have another week but I'm already feeling the stress of running out of time! Gah!
We're checking a big "must do" off our list this morning though– helicopter ride around the island!! Eek!
Pray I make it back alive, haha.
Kauai Not?
We'll see how many puns I can get out of this trip. Maybe every single post title?
Yesterday, we explored a little bit more of the island. We drove up to Kukuiolono Park, which is a public park and golf course. It was small, but really cool– it has a Japanese garden and some walking paths that led up to a beautiful view:
I don't think the kids appreciated the view as much as we did. ;-)
From there, we drove to glass beach– it's in a more industrial part of the island, and the beach is made entirely of sea glass. I love beach-combing, so this was a really fun activity. I could have stayed at this beach for HOURS.
After lunch and a rest, Lila and I joined my parents for a short little hike:
Short hike, but a big view!
And finally…dinner was burgers out:
…complete with family photos. :-)
Not sure what today holds, but the sun is out so I'm heading out for a run! xx
Goodbye Seattle; Aloha, Hawaii!
I'm a little behind with this post– we left Seattle on Saturday and flew out to Hawaii. Our Seattle trip was so much fun– we visited a few beaches, caught up with old friends, and spent tons of time with family. We also visited a few family-friendly sites that Ryan and I had never taken Lila to– the Everett Children's Museum, and the Seattle Aquarium. It was a packed week!
Then, we flew from chilly Seattle to…balmy Hawaii:
I was a little nervous about this flight– they couldn't sit us all together, so Ryan and Lila sat together and I stayed with Charlie. It was 5.5 hours…that's a long time to entertain a baby on a flight! Luckily, he did great– slept a lot, ate a lot, and stayed generally happy. Before I knew it, we were landing in Kauai, ready for vacation #2!
We are having a blast here– it is SO beautiful. I've been to Hawaii once before, on a high school biology trip– but, that was a long time ago and we were on a different island. Kauai is beautiful…and wonderfully laid back. It seems like a great place to take kids– just beaches and beautiful hikes for days.
Hope you had a great fourth! Aloha!
Summer Travels…
Hi friends! We are in full summer mode, which for us always means…travel! We're spending this week in Seattle, and from there will go to Hawaii for two weeks. Our trips that we take during the summer are some of my best memories and one of the things I love most about having such a long break in the summer. People always ask if we ever think about doing summer teaching, but the truth is, I love taking this time to relax and take some time to ourselves without the stress of teaching.
When it was just the two of us, we would take longer, more complicated trips– Croatia…Italy…France. I loved those trips (and I miss those days, haha), but we've still been able to travel a lot, even now that our family has expanded to four. Traveling with kids is, of course, different. This is our first "real" trip with Charlie, so I was a little nervous about the long flights– getting to Seattle involved a 1.5 hour flight, followed by a 4 hour flight. Luckily, both kids did AWESOME:
…and before we knew it, we were pulling into SEATAC!
We've rented a house in the Green Lake area for this trip, and we are loving it. We're just a few blocks from the lake, so Lila has already enjoyed the little beach/swimming area. The neighborhood is really cute and it's fun to be close to everything Seattle has to offer. Yesterday, we all woke up at 5 am (ugh…thanks, time change), which meant that we were out the door by 7, haha. We decided to explore Discovery Park– we hiked for about 40 minutes down to the beach and then hung out there for a while before heading back. The weather was so clear and beautiful– perfect for lots of pictures (warning: extreme photo dump ahead…)!
What a beautiful place!
After our hike, we headed out to Ryan's parents' house for lunch, and then invited his family back to our rental house for a pizza dinner.
Today, we're off to the zoo with friends, and then meeting up with one of my best friends for dinner tonight. Loving this cool weather– although everyone here is complaining about how hot it is, heh.
Happy summer!

Anyone please show my how to write 'if' condition for keeping the password to a limited number of characters.According to my code,it only checks whether the password fields(old,new,confirm) are empty and if not it proceeds with database comparison and if exists it get changed with the new password.
The script i am using for checking blank entry is:
echo "Username is empty";
I want it to be checked that every password should be minimum 4 characters and maximum 8 character in length and atleast one special character should be present
(like @,!,~,$,%,etc).
Please provide me other such conditional scripts in PHP for checking numeric fields for pincode,phone no etc and characters for name,username etc and I want DOB to be entered as eg:-"27 Mar" etc.
Please provide me those scripts:
(i am not asking for javascripts.plz dont mis-understand)

Water Play::Sunday, June 26
Em, Matt, Michael & I went on an adventure this afternoon. We started by playing in the creek up Hobble Creek Canyon and ended by playing at Wayne Bartholomew Park. Steve joined us for a little while at Bartholomew Park; he wasn't feeling well today so he didn't stay long.
In the creek, I wanted a turn floating on the tube... until I flipped it over and got completely wet. Oh bother! LOL My hair, that I had worked hard on to make it look nice, was completely drenched. Emily went to "fluff it up a little" right afterward - I said, "Don't touch it! Maybe after it dries it will look like it did before." Her eyes got big and the look on her face was very serious as she shook her head vigorously. LOL She made me laugh! Her reaction alone may have made the situation worth it. :)
The kids all thought my faux pas was hilarious, and apparently I still scream like a little kid. Michael kept asking me all afternoon, "Mommy, did you fall?" and he'd laugh and laugh. Turkey!
Memories were made, and we had a great time with each other; that was exactly what I was trying for. (Although I had no intentions of making "Remember the time Mom flipped over on the tube?" memories. ;) )

Brother Bill::June 24
On the left: Bill, just a few days before he passed. On the right: Me sitting in the same place I'd sat for the past two days - what a blessing it was to sit next to him and comfort him in his last, few hours.
My brother, Bill, died last Tuesday, on Flag Day.
He died much more suddenly than any of us thought he would.
On the day before he died, I went to see him. He had been mostly unresponsive since Sunday, occasionally trying to speak or give meaningful looks.
On Monday, as I sat by his bedside, I talked to him at times, or I read my book and patted his chest at other times. I was there for about an hour in the early morning. The nurses had warned us that at some point in the next few days, he'd slip into a coma before he passed away.
That Monday morning gave me closure. He tried to smile at me, but it was very fleeting, much like a babies. He was unable to move much of his body, only using his arms to scootch a little in bed if he got too uncomfortable. His eyes were the most expression of how he felt and what he thought.
As I went to leave for work, I gave him a hug and decided to turn my cheek to his lips as I kissed him on the cheek as well - I didn't know if he could or even wanted to kiss my cheek, but I offered it. He kissed me. My heart melted and I felt peace. That was exactly what I needed.
Often, in the last few days since he passed, I recall the fleeting smiles and the kiss on the cheek and my heart is filled with gratitude for the small mercies of life.
Steve, our kids, and I sang, "God Be With You 'Til We Meet Again" a capella at his funeral on Saturday. My kids were worried that we wouldn't sound very good. I reminded them that every Christmas Eve for the past decade, Uncle Bill joined us in singing Christmas Hymns and Carols - he knew exactly how we'd sound, and he was the only person we were singing for.
This hymn is one of my all time favorites, and I usually only choke out a few words here and there as it is being sung because it stirs up feelings and soothes my heart and soul all at the same time.
Thank God for tender little mercies amidst the difficult times. And may God bless and welcome Bill into His kingdom, where he can find peace and rest with all of our loved ones.

Sing to the Lord a new song::May 29
Have you ever felt like this?
Sometimes life changes. Sometimes we don't love those changes, and then, all to often, we have to change too, and that is never comfortable.
Today in church, this Psalm was read:
After this scripture, we sang this song: (Episcopal Hymn #412)
Everyone can sing to the Lord a song, no matter what your song may be.
How will you sing your new song to the Lord?

Psalm 137:
1 By the waters of Babylon,
there we sat down and wept,
when we remembered Zion.
2 On the willows there
we hung up our lyres.
3 For there our captors
required of us songs,
and our tormentors, mirth, saying,
"Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"
4 How shall we sing the Lord's song
in a foreign land?
Sometimes life changes. Sometimes we don't love those changes, and then, all to often, we have to change too, and that is never comfortable.
Today in church, this Psalm was read:
Psalm 96:
1 Oh sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth!
2 Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
tell of his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
4 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
8 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
bring an offering, and come into his courts!
9 Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;
tremble before him, all the earth!
10 Say among the nations, "The Lord reigns!
Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved;
he will judge the peoples with equity."
11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
12 let the field exult, and everything in it!
Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy
13 before the Lord, for he comes,
for he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness,
and the peoples in his faithfulness.
After this scripture, we sang this song: (Episcopal Hymn #412)
Everyone can sing to the Lord a song, no matter what your song may be.
How will you sing your new song to the Lord?

Peavy, Lollis and maybe Osich join San Francisco Giants active roster
I didn't know there was anything wrong with Tim Hudson.
He's going on the disabled list.
I do know there's something wrong with Santiago Casilla.
He is NOT going on the disabled list.
As the San Francisco Giants arrived in Washington D.C. for a weekend series with the Nationals, a bevy of roster moves followed them.
As expected, Jake Peavy was activated from the disabled list after spending more than two months there recovering from a back strain that plagued him in spring training.
Hudson was placed on the DL with a right shoulder strain. He's also battled a sore hip. But basically, the official diagnosis is that Hudson is suffering from heiskindofoldsowewillgivehimabreakitis.
In a more surprising move, the Giants designated Travis Ishikawa for assignment about week after the hero of the NLCS was called up from Sacramento. Ishikawa was 0 for 5 with a walk in his most recent stint.
It's the second time this season Ishikawa has been DFA'd. Assuming he clears waivers — again — Ishikawa likely will head back to Sacramento.
Taking his place on the roster will be outfielder Ryan Lollis.
Lollis will be making his major league debut after seven seasons in the Giants' farm system. The 28-year-old was drafted in the 37th round of the 2009 draft by the Giants.
Lollis was hitting .358 with a very impressive .431 OBP through three levels of the minors this season. With Triple-A Sacramento, Lollis was hitting .353 with a .422 OBP in 116 PAs over 32 games. He has two home runs and 11 RBI, and can play all three outfield positions, something Ishikawa could not.
Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle also reported that relief pitcher Josh Osich was in Washington, although an official move has not been announced.
Schulman reports that Casilla, who blew a two-run lead Wednesday without recording an out, will not be going on the DL. Manager Bruce Bochy will give Casilla a couple of days off to rest a sore shoulder.
The Giants will need to create room for Osich not only on the 25-man active roster, but also the 40-man roster, as Osich is not currently on the 40-man list.
Recent busts in international market temper excitement on Giants' signing of Lucius Fox
MoreSplashHits has broken its blogging silence, to commemorate the return of Matt Cain to the starting rotation.
There was news Thursday, other than Cain's return to the mound. The Giants made a rare big splash into the international prospect market with the signing of infielder Lucius Fox of The Bahamas.
Baseball America ranked Lucius Fox as the No. 4 international prospect in 2015.
Fox, 18, is a 6-foot, 160-pound middle infielder and switch hitter. He played for American Heritage High in Delray Beach, Fla., and committed to play for North Carolina State.
A 2015 Perfect Game third-team All-American, Fox was born in the Bahamas but spent 2-plus years playing high school ball in Florida before returns to his native island in May. He won his petition to be declared an international free agent.
Fox is considered an excellent athlete and sure-handed fielder with a strong arm. He's a high-contact hitter who lacks power. He could develop into a big-league middle infielder, but could also play in the outfield.
San Francisco Chronicle writer Henry Schulman reported that Fox signed for $6 million, meaning the Giants likely won't be able to make another big splash in the international free agent market over the next couple of years.
The Giants beat out teams like the Dodgers to get Fox. While it's great to see the Giants active in this market, it's hard to get overly excited.
The Giants' most recent international signings haven't really worked out.
Last year, the Giants signed Cuban outfielder Daniel Carbonell for $3.175 million. Carbonell was 23 when he signed last season.
He had a solid first season in the Giants' farm system, hitting .336 with .384 OBP in 31 games, mostly with Class A San Jose.
But he has struggled big time this season for Double-A Richmond. He's hitting just .146 in 206 ABs in 56 games with 53 strikeouts to only four walks.
The Giants' other big international signing in recent history was Angel Villalona. The first baseman was signed as a 16-year-old out of the Dominican Republic in 2007.
After some solid seasons in the lower minor leagues, Villalona had his career sidetracked for more than two seasons when he was implicated in the shooting death of a man in his native Dominican Republic.
Since returning to baseball, Villaona hist .231 between Class A and AA in 2013 and .227 for Double-A Richmond last season.
Now 24, Villalona was dropped from the Giants' 40-man roster. He's currently hitting .171 with no home runs and 8 RBI in 76 ABs for Richmond.
Correct call made in Giants-Dodgers game despite gaffe of third-base coach Roberto Kelly
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly had a legitmate beef on Wednesday night.
But, ultimately, the correct call was made in the bizarre play involving Giants third-base coach Roberto Kelly and Gregor Blanco in the ninth inning.
OK, let's set up the play.
With runners on first and second and one out in the ninth of a 2-2 tie, Brandon Belt shot a single into left field. Blanco, on second base, got a late break on the line drive and had no intention on trying to score as he rounded third base.
But as he rounded the base, Blanco bumped into Kelly, who was standing about six feet from the base.
Mattingly came out to argue interference with third-base umpire and crew chief Fieldin Culbreth, as Blanco clearly came in contatct with Kelly.
"The third-base coach blocked him," Mattingly said. "I guess that's the way I've been taught – the third-base coach is not allowed to block the runner from continuing on. It's obviously interference and they missed the call, basically. I don't know who was supposed to be watching but they weren't."
He continued: "He didn't see it. He was watching the play. I don't know why the third-base ump is watching the play. There's nothing for him to watch. It's a ground ball to left. I don't know who's watching to see if he touched the base. I really don't know what the umpires' responsibilities are there. But I do know there's no way in baseball they allow the third-base coach to come up and basically block the runner from going forward, and that's what happened tonight. That's obviously a missed call. It's not reviewable from their explanation."
It seems that the Dodgers' main beef is based on the idea that Culbreth didn't see the play, because he wasn't looking. And he wasn't.
But let's take a look at the facts.
- FACT: Blanco bumped into Kelly.
- FACT: Culbreth didn't see it.
- FACT: Blanco was not attempting to score.
- FACT: Kelly did not prevent Blanco from attempting to score, not did he assist him in getting back to third
- FACT: There was no play at third base by the Dodgers.
So, it would appear that the Dodgers were hoping to get bailed out of a ninth-inning jam not by a play that they made, but by a technicality or an umpire's interpretation.
But one problem. Here's the rule concerning the play from the MLB rulebook.
Rule 7.09
It is interference by a batter or runner when …
(g) In the judgment of the umpire, the base coach at third base, or first base, by touching or holding the runner, physically assists him in returning to or leaving third base or first base.
So, by the rule, Culbreth's ruling was correct.
"Don came out and asked me did I see him grab him," Culbreth said "I told him no, I did not see him grab him. . . . The rule is pretty specific in the fact that he had to touch and physically grab him and assist him in returning to the base. That did not happen. If he doesn't physically assist him in returning to the base then there's no interference."
Blanco concurred: "It wasn't like he stopped me. I was stopping on third. I don't feel he was stopping me at all."
The problem comes in that some umpires would have seen the contact and ruled Blanco out … simply on the basis of stupidity.
There is absolutely no reason for Kelly to be standings THAT close to third base. There is no reason for contact to ever happen in that circumstance.
But it's another example of a learning curve for Kelly, who made the move from first-base coach to third-base coach to replace the retired Tim Flannery.
You may remember on Opening Day, Kelly got Nori Aoki thrown out with a late stop sign.
On that play, Aoki was rounding third on a double by Joe Panik, when Kelly threw up a late stop sign. That led to Aoki to get caught too far off of third base. He was thrown out in the resulting rundown.
Not surprising, a few days later Aoki scored on a play when he blew threw a Kelly stop sign.
Kelly's still learning his new job. Hopefully, it doesn't cost the Giants in the future.
Tim Lincecum gets new haircut and look back to many sides of Timmy
The Giants have lost their first four home games of 2015.
The Giants have lost seven straight games overall.
The Giants, at 3-8, are off to one of the worst starts by a defending World Series champion in history.
So what is there to blog about?
Well, Tim Lincecum's hair, of course!
The Giants right-hander lopped off his long mane for a more slick-back look on Friday.
So we thought it might be a good time to look back on the many sides of Timmy through the years.
You've gotta Timmy, the first-round draft pick in 2006.
And Timmy in 2008, the first of his two Cy Young years.
Timmy hoisting the first of his World Series trophies, in 2010.
Timmy at his second World Series parade in 2012.
The clean-cut Timmy, with glasses to boot in 2013.
And the mustachio'd Timmy in 2014.
The San Franciso Giants' 0-3 home start is not their worst ever … yet
The San Francisco lost on Wednesday … again. It was their sixth straight loss, their third straight at home.
Fans at AT&T Park haven't been able to cheer a win in 2015. And you're probably wondering if their 0-3 start the Giants' worst home start ever.
Well, the answer is no. In fact, it's not even the worst start in their current home park.
Back in 2000, the opening season in the Giants' home by the bay — then Pacific Bell Park — the Giants opened the home season by being swept by the Dodgers in three games.
Then the Giants lost two more to the Arizona Diamondbacks to end their first homestand of the year at 0-5.
They went on the road, came back and lost to the Montreal Expos, pushing their home record to 0-6.
The Giants won their first game at Pacific Bell Park on April 29.
So let's hope the 2015 Giants aren't looking for their first home win on April 29.
But, again, here's a silver lining.
The 2000 Giants rebounded from the poor home start to win 97 games and the National League West Division championship.
Giants open home schedule with fewest runs scored since 1911
The San Francisco Giants' offensive ineptness has reached historic levels.
Monday's loss to the Colorado Rockies in the home opener was just the ninth time in franchise history, dating back to 1883, that the Giants have been shut out in their home opener, and only the third time in San Francisco Giants history.
The Giants looked like they might set a franchise record by being shut out in their first two home contests.
The Giants didn't push across their first run at home this season until the eighth inning in a 4-1 loss to the Rockies on Tuesday.
Of course, it took two outs for the Giants to get a run home. After the Giants put the first two runners on in the eighth, Angel Pagan alertly advanced to third on an incredible catch by Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado in foul territory. Pagan scored on a more traditional sacrifice fly to the outfield by Matt Duffy.
The 16 consecutive scoreless innings to open the home schedule are the most by the Giants since 1914.
Five of the previous eight times the Giants have been shutout at home occurred before 1914 (1890, 1907, 1909, 1911, 1913). Baseball reference does list box scores before 1914, so we don't know if 16 consecutive scoreless innings are the most in franchise history.
But we do know this: the one run scored in the Giants' first two home games of the season tied a franchise record, matching the total from the 1911 season.
If you're looking for good news, in 1911 the Giants won their third home game of the season and went on to capture the National League pennant.
So maybe it's a sign. We can only hope.
Don't worry: History shows Madison Bumgarner will be just fine in his next start
Saturday night was a rough day for Madison Bumgarner.
MadBum got tagged for five runs on eight hits in three innings in the Giants' 10-2 loss to the Padres.
You can already hear the talking heads and bloggers going on and on about Saturday's game is an example of how Bumgarner is feeling the effects of last year's deep playoff run and high number of innings pitched.
But we've seen this before.
Bumgarner said afterwards that his mechanics were off, causing all of his pitches to go flat. Even so, the Padres didn't exactly light him up.
The Padres' first-inning rally started with a broken-bat, chalk-finder double by Matt Kemp. A couple of seeing-eye singles resulted in a 2-0 lead.
In the third, more seeing-eye singles and soft liners that dropped in front of outfielders led to three more runs. In all, it was Kemp's double and nine singles.
Not great. But let's pump the brakes on the something-is-wrong-with-MadBum talk.
We'll remind you that after two starts, Clayton Kershaw has a 5.84 ERA, which is worse than Bumgarner's 5.40.
And we've seen this before from Bumgarner. This was Bumgarner's ninth career start in which he allowed more earned runs than innings pitched.
And we've seen him bounce back.
In the eight follow-up starts that came after those rough outings, Bumgarner has gone 5-1 with a 1.11 ERA. That includes his start in the 2012 World Series when he followed up his ugly start in Game 1 of the NLCS with a gem in Game 2 of the Series.
In the one loss, Bumgarner gave up two earned runs in eight innings, but lost because the Giants didn't score any runs.
And all eight of those follow-up starts came at home. Bumgarner's next start will come Thursday at home against the Diamondbacks.
Here's the breakdown of those starts:
- Aug. 25, 2010 (Cin) — 2.2 IP, 7 ER (8 R) 7 H, 1 BB, 3 K
Next: Aug. 31 (Col) — 6 IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 3 BB, 2 K
- June 21, 2011 (Min) — 0.1 IP, 8 ER, 9 H, 1 K
Next: June 26 (Cle) — 7 IP, 1 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 11 K, win
- July 30, 2011 (at Cin) — 4 IP, 5 ER (7 R), 7 H, 3 BB, 4 K
Next: Aug. 4 (Phi) — 8 IP, 2 ER, 6 H, 2 BB, 9 K, loss
- July 4, 2012 (at (Was) — 5 IP, 7 ER, 9 H, 1 BB, 7 K
Next: July 13 (Hou) — 7 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, win
- Sep. 11, 2012 (at Col) — 4.1 IP, 5 ER, 11 H, 1 BB, 2 K,
Next: Sept. 17 (Col) — 6 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 5 BB, 6 K, win
- Oct. 14, 2012 (StL) – 3.2 IP, 6 ER, 8 H, 1 BB, 2 K
Next: Oct. 25 (Det) – 7 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 2 BB, 8 K, win
- May 17, 2013 (at Col) — 4.2 IP, 7 ER (9 R) 8 H, 2 BB, 4 K
Next: May 22 (Was) — 7 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 5 K
- July 28, 2014 (Pit) — 4 IP, 5 ER, 6 H, 2 BB, 2 K
Next: 9 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 1 BB, 10 K, win
The combined numbers from Bumgarner's follow-up starts:
So relax. MadBum will be fine.
The sticky situation between the Padres' Derek Norris and the Giants' Angel Pagan
You can call it the greatest overreaction to a piece of gum since Hedley Lamarr in Blazing Saddles.
In the top of the ninth inning of a 0-0 tie, the Giants' Angel Pagan and Padres catcher Derek Norris got into a jawing match that resulted in both dugouts being warned by home plate umpire Tripp Gibson.
But what could have sparked a near-brawl between the Giants and Padres?
"It was something really small," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "You can ask them. It was kind of silly, to be honest. It was intense out there."
OK. So Pagan was asked by reporters.
"It was everything for a piece of gum," he said.
As Pagan came to bat in the ninth, he looked down in the batter's box, picked up something small and appeared to fling it at Norris' shinguard. Norris took offense to that and stood up to tell Pagan about it, and Pagan barked back.
Pagan said the small item was a piece of gum. He was trying to fling it away, but it stuck to his glove and hit Norris.
Afterwards Pagan said: " That's his game face. I respect that. … He didn't have to take that position."
Norris wasn't having any of that, telling the San Diego Union-Tribune's Dennis Lin: "He was just being kind of dickhead, and I don't take kindly to that. … I don't come into center field and throw gum at him when he's playing defense."
Derek. It was gum. GUM!!
Padres pitcher Craig Kimbrel followed that up by buzzing Pagan high and tight.
"I just happened," Kimbrel said. "I was wild today."
He was smiling when he said that.
But it didn't end there. Pagan then followed by lining a 3-2 pitch into center field for a leadoff triple.
After sliding into third, Pagan celebrated loudly — in the direction of the Giants dugout, or Kimbrel, who was backing up third on the play, or both.
Kimbrel then stared down Pagan.
But Kimbrel got the last laugh, getting Brandon Crawford to pop up and Casey McGehee to hit into an inning-ending double play with Pagan still on third.
As he was leaving the field, Kimbrel barked at Pagan.
Just another fun day at Petco Park with the Giants and the Padres.
Oh, and by the way, the Giants won 1-0 in 12 innings.
"It was a great game overall," Pagan said. "It was a very fun game, interesting, fun. Everything."
Chris Heston's unlikely road to San Francisco Giants' rotation leads to victory
The San Francisco Giants were in need of some good news. And it came from an unlikely source — Chris Heston.
The rookie right-hander pitched six solid innings to propel the Giants to a 5-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
Coming into Wednesday, the Giants were unsure of the health of Jake Peavy and Brandon Belt and placed Matt Cain on the disabled list.
Heston was called up to fill in Cain's spot. But after Peavy looked good in his bullpen session before Wednesday's game — putting him on course to start Sunday in San Diego — it looked as if Heston's start Wednesday would be a spot start with Ryan Vogelsong filling Cain's spot in the rotation after Peavy's return.
But then Heston did what he did Wednesday. He gave up two unearned runs on three hits and two walks on 91 pitches over six innings. He was the first rookie pitcher to start a game for the Giants in the opening week of the season since Matt Cain in 2006. He became the first rookie pitcher to start and win a game in Week 1 since Kurt Ainsworth in 2003.
The first unearned run was his own fault. Heston hit A.J. Pollock with a pitch in the first inning, then allowed Pollock go to third on an errant pickoff throw. Pollock scored on a groundout.
"The first inning started to unravel a little bit, kind of a little shaky there," Heston said. "But I was able settle down and get back into it."
In the sixth, he gave up a laser double to Paul Goldschmidt. Goldschmidt advanced to third on a pitch (which should have been caught by Hector Sanchez) and scored on a passed ball by Sanchez.
And now it looks as if Heston will start Monday in the home opener against the Rockies.
"We're not moving him," manager Bruce Bochy said. "We need him right now. What a shot in the arm for us."
It is an unlikely outcome given Heston's bumpy road to this point.
Heston was drafted in the 47th round of the 2007 MLB Amateur Draft by the Twins, out of Seminole Community College in Florida. He did not sign and remained at Seminole. He was drafted in the 29th round of the 2008 Draft by the Nationals, but passed on the Nats to attend East Carolina.
The Giants drafted him in the 12th round of the 2009 Draft, and Heston signed. His pro career got off to a bumpy start, going 1-5 in Rookie ball in 2009 and 5-13 for Class A Augusta in 2010.
But things started to come together in 2011 when he went 12-4 with 3.16 ERA for Class A San Jose. He went 9-8 with a 2.24 ERA and 1.103 WHIP for Double-A Richmond in 2012, earning an Eastern League All-Star nod.
He was added to the Giants' 40-man roster that offseason, but success didn't follow him to Triple-A in 2013. He went 7-6 with a 5.80 ERA in 2013 and was released in August of that year to create room on the 40-man roster.
Heston re-signed with the Giants and went 12-9 with a 3.38 ERA for Triple-A Fresno last season, earning a September call-up. He started the final game of the 2014 regular season, giving up three runs in four innings against the Rockies.
He spent the past offseason bulking up — something he said the Giants have been pushing him to do for several off seasons — and it paid off this spring. He impressed the Giants, going 1-0 with 2.40 ERA with 10 strikeouts and one walk in 15 innings.
He was set to open the Triple-A season with Sacramento when Cain's trip to the DL prompted his call-up to face the Diamondbacks.
Where does it go from here? Well, we'll get a better idea on Monday.
Opening Day: Seven positives (and a big negative) to take away from Giants' 5-4 win over Diamondbacks
Opening Day. Everything is exaggerated on Opening Day.
Winners are crowned champions. Losers are dreaming about next year. At least in the eyes of the fans.
For the second consecutive season, the Giants opened the season with a win over the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-4. Madison Bumgarner picked up the win as the Giants had to sweat through an eighth inning that almost saw the D-back erase a 5-1 on deficit.
While it is only one game about of a 162, we thought we'd look a seven positives that could be taken from Monday's opener.
- The Giants won. Hey, a win's a win's a win, even if it is over the lowly Snakes. We'll take it, especially on Opening Day.
- The Giants punched out 13 hits — nine singles and four doubles. With a shortage of power, especially with Hunter Pence out, the Giants will need to string together hits for rallies.
- The top of the order produced: Nori Aoki, Joe Panik and Angel Pagan went a combined 8 for 14 with four runs.
- Casey McGehee (2 for 3) got two more hits and three fewer strikeouts (0 to 3) than Pablo Sandoval did on opening day.
- Madison Bumgarner was his usual MadBum, but still good enough to limit the Diamondbacks to one run on six hits over seven innings.
- They played good defense: No errors, turned two double plays. Another key to the season.
- Santiago Casilla looked really good, setting down Arizona's 1-2-3 hitters in order to record the save in the ninth.
OK so it wasn't all puppy dog tails and rainbows. Here are a couple of concerns.
The biggest concern came out of something that involved two players who didn't play Monday. Jake Peavy and Matt Cain, both slated to start Games 2 and 3 for the Arizona series, won't pitch in the series.
Peavy has a sore back. He's hoping that rest and treatment will allow him to make his next scheduled start this weekend in San Diego.
Cain's situation is a little more worrisome. Cain was diagnosed with a strained flexor tendon in his right forearm, an injury that will sideline him for two weeks.
The good news is the Giants have some pitching depth in the rotation. Ryan Vogelsong will start in place of Peavy on Tuesday, but the Giants haven't made a call on who to replace Cain on Wednesday.
One option would be to move up Tim Lincecum, slated to pitch Friday in San Diego. Lincecum only pitched one scoreless inning of relief in the Bay Bridge series, so bringing him back on three days rest shouldn't be a big concern. However, the idea of Lincecum facing Paul Goldschmidt in Arizona doesn't warm the heart.
The other option is to put Cain on the DL and call up a pitcher from Triple-A to start in his place. Chris Heston had a solid spring.
Bruce Bochy said he'd prefer to leave Yusmeiro Petit in the bullpen, rather than thin about the bullpen.

Trent Lott's announcement that he'll resign from the Senate revives the 2002 controversy that cost him his position as majority leader in 2002. To refresh, Lott praised fellow Senator Strom Thurmond's run for president in 1948 as a segregationist.
Bloggers have been credited with bringing the story to light. But it was Lott's performance in an interview with Black Entertainment Television that solidified his downfall as majority leader.
I was a writer for BET Nightly News when word came down that Lott offered to come on the network to try to clear the air. In a half-hour live interview, host Ed Gordon set the tone immediately that BET would not be a vehicle to air Lott's apology unchallenged. Gordon went through a list of issues where Lott stood against the consensus in the black community, from his voting against making Martin Luther King Day a national holiday to his efforts to keep his college fraternity segregated. (You can watch part of the interview in the video link on the left.)
Sen. Lott Retrospective
Sen. Lott Retrospective
Perhaps the moment that ended Lott's hope of keeping his leadership role came when he claimed to be for affirmative action "across the board," saying he practiced it by hiring minorities on his staff. Gordon responded with a minimum of condescension, "you understand ... to have a black on your staff and to push legislation that would help African Americans, minorities across the board are completely different."
The tension spilled over into the commercial breaks, where the two men sat in cold, awkward silence waiting for the stage manager's cue to restart the conversation.
The GOP's convert for affirmative action announced he would step down as Senate leader four days later (coincidentally, Ed Gordon's show, "BET Tonight" was cancelled shortly after the interview.) Lott said after his 2002 resignation, he had "only himself to blame." And Ed Gordon certainly didn't save Lott from himself.

CarGurus has 811 nationwide Excursion listings starting at $3,000.
2005 Ford Excursion Overview
In its last year, the 2005 Ford Excursion received only the tiniest of cosmetic tweaks. The end of the road had come for the Excursion, just as it did for all of its fellow dinosaurs. In a world of rising fuel prices, the gas-gulping Excursion just wasn't making its sales quotas anymore.
Four trims were available for the 2005 Excursion, XLS, XLT, Eddie Bauer, and Limited. The Eddie Bauer trimline offered a range of luxury extras with a sporty feel; the Limited was flashier, with more chrome. Buyers could choose rear-wheel drive, or optional four-wheel drive. The Excursion's 4WD option was marketed for suburban safety, though, rather than for all-terrain versatility; you weren't likely to want to take this landwhale off-road.
When it came to roominess, the Excursion gave new meaning to the 'full-size' in 'full-size SUV'. Its overall length was 226.7 inches, with a width of 79.9 inches. The Excursion seated 9, with ample legroom and headroom for all, and had a cargo capacity of 146.4 cubic feet.
The Excursion came off the line with a 5.4 liter overhead cam V-8 that delivered 255 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque; buyers could upgrade to a 6.8 liter overhead cam V10, with 310 horsepower and 425 lb.-ft. of torque, or go for even more power with a 7.3 liter V-8 turbodiesel option that put out 250 horsepower and 505 lb.-ft. of torque.

My son Loves his car tent! Decent quality too! We love it!
Very easy setup. Size was prefect for 4 year old.
I ordered this tent to receive it in a flimsy bag and inside this bag was the tent with a small carry bag and small pouch with stakes. The entire main frame was missing. I am extremely unhappy! This was a Christmas present and I had to use a frame from another tent that I own that does not fit quite right. I would like to receive the missing parts without having to return the entire tent. I did not receive what I paid for and I caution anyone who buys this tent.
I bought this for my 3 year old son, who loved it! But it also fit his two older sisters (7 and 9) and an entire array of toys. The set up is very easy
Although we have not taken this out of the box yet, it is exactly what we were looking for for our children. They like to make "forts" and "tents" out of blankets with the use of couches, chairs, etc. We ordered online, with ship to store. Product arrived a head of expected delivery time and we received an email when it was ready for pick-up. Will be the perfect addition to have a real "tent" inside the house.
My kids love this tent! It was very easy to put together and well worth the money, it comes with stakes for outdoor use but we are using it inside as a fort. I wish I would have ordered two of them, one for each of my boys ages 5 and 7.
grandson was totally living in the tent during the holiday season he even brought it to our house to sleep in
inferior product the tent has 3 big holes threads are pulling apart plus the inside is dirty even after wiping with soap

2004 Ford Excursion SUV Limited 4WD 4dr SUV (6.8L 10cyl 4A)
I own a 6.0 Turbodiesel. This is one of a kind. Bought it for towing capacity (Have my Prius for commuting & Range Rover for off roading) and I am surprised how fond I have become of this truck. It is a shame Ford discontinued this truck. For space, power and functionality, nothing comes close. I have hauled plywood in the back (with doors closed), multiple people with their bags and a 6000lb boat behind me and it does not even break a sweat. I am planning on holding on to this truck as I do not know of any other vehicle on the market that offers all the functionality that Excursion offers. Unlike other reviews, I think mileage is fine for size and weight of the truck.
Torque/Towing capacity, room, versatility, ride (for a truck). Even with the issues that I have had, I still really appreciate this vehicle.
Improve quality (Turbo replaced 3 times in first year), front seat head rests are not very functional, steering is vague. But I guess, none of these matter as they have ceased production. (I have come to understand the term Fix or repair Daily... take this comment with a grain of salt).
2004 Ford Excursion SUV XLS 4WD 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 4A)
Great truck. I love the 3/4 ton durability with all the passenger and cargo capacity. Rides like truck not a car but I like it.
Size, durability, towing capacity, safety.
Steering needs improvement.
2004 Ford Excursion SUV XLT Rwd 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 4A)
I love this Excursion, but with gas prices so high, I don't love paying $100 to fill it up. It is great for hauling a lot of kids and cargo. The versatility of folding down the seats is really nice.
The power, the roominess that keeps sibling rivalry at bay, the height so you know which lane to be in!
Better fuel economy.
2004 Ford Excursion SUV Eddie Bauer Rwd 4dr SUV (5.4L 8cyl 4A)
The vehicle drives like a limo. It responds like a 2007. Nothing wrong with it.
The leather interior. The dvd player as well as quality surround sound.
Need better gas mileage.
2004 Ford Excursion SUV Eddie Bauer 4WD 4dr SUV (6.8L 10cyl 4A)
Great truck! Great performance! Excellent towing capacity and gas mileage in the city and road. Very happy about it.
More precise steering wheel.

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE, "THE SOCIAL NETWORK," starring Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, and Rashida Jones; directed by David Fincher
Exuberant and revealing, The Accidental Billionaires is a fast-paced, inside look at a story of fortune gained and innocence lost, and how a company that was created to bring people together ultimately tore two friends apart.
In 2003, Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg were Harvard undergrads and best friends looking for a way to stand out among the university's elite and competitive student body. Then one lonely night, Zuckerberg hacked into the campus computer system to pull off a prank that crashed Harvard's network. This stunt almost got him expelled, but it also inspired Zuckerberg to create Facebook, the social networking site that has since revolutionized how people around the world communicate. With Saverin's funding their small start-up quickly went from their college dorm room to Silicon Valley. But different ideas about Facebook's future tested Zuckerberg and Saverin's relationship, which then spiraled into out-and-out warfare. Soon, the collegiate exuberance that marked their collaboration fell prey to the adult world of venture capitalists, lawyers, and big money.
Ben Mezrich has found a comfortable niche in the nonfiction market with his lurid tales of brilliant young mavericks who use their preternatural intelligence to hatch morally questionable schemes which earn them ridiculous amounts of money. His latest venture documents the rise and divide of Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg, a pair of Harvard geeks who transformed their desire for female companionship into one of the most popular and profitable websites on the planet--Facebook. As Mezrich tells the tale, the initial stages of Facebook were Saverin and Zuckerberg's attempts to create a database of all the female students at Harvard, but they soon realized that the format they had created had almost limitless possibilities for allowing people to connect online. Sadly, as the popularity of the site increased exponentially and the revenue started to pour in, the once insignificant differences between the two friends became magnified and they were soon seeing each other only from opposite sides of a courtroom. Mezrich effortlessly negotiates the reader through this astonishing modern saga of technology and greed.
