Baking hot cross buns is simple, and cooking with the kids is a great way of keeping them entertained while producing something tasty for the family too.
If growing carrots sounds like a lot of faff, I assure you it's worth it – you'll never eat carrots as sweet or, well, carroty as ones you grow yourself.
Forget spring lamb – the hogget, a wonderful mature lamb that is yet to adorn its mutton clothes, is my top tip for Easter this year.
Read the history of an iconic Yorkshire bun, and have a try at Bee's very special Easter recipe for hot-cross fat rascals.
The peak of our Easter lunch has always been a huge hunk of barbecued lamb, but this year I'm following it with a heavenly flourless chocolate cake.
Infused vodkas are so easy to make, and are great when served to party guests as ice-cold vodka shots or as part of longer, citrus-based cocktails.
It's easy to think of carrots as a bit boring, but kids love them, and with a bit of imagination they can be really versatile.
Great coffee is an art but, for many, art is neither appropriate nor desirable as part of a daily routine. Here's a look at two cheats for espresso at home.
As the London Marathon looms this weekend, Kevin's mind has turned to the food he eats and the way he prepares for the marathons he runs every day.
If you're looking for an impressive drink for a party, look no further than this gorgeous and totally from-scratch alcoholic iced tea recipe.

I realise there are cross domain restrictions with javascript and I believe I have run into them but I am not sure:
I am trying to create a bookmarklet that loads a zip-file from another domain to be processed internally. I.e. not to be saved. - Is this possible?
My approach so far is along the lines of:
var xhr2_blob = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr2_blob.open('GET', downloadUrlCrossDomain, true);
xhr2_blob.responseType = 'blob';
Unfortunately while readyState changes to 4, the status property remains 0 rather than changing to 200.
Note: I have access to neither of the servers.

Does anyone know where to get more info on the Hawai`i cesspool conversion tax credit that recently passed into law? I have a client who is currently converting their cesspool to a septic system, & I'm hoping they can take advantage of this credit. Skimming over HB 153 & 1140, I don't see any mention of when this credit goes into effect or what the particular requirements are.

Osteoarthritis Health Center
Getting the Most of Your Doctor's Appointment
In this article
Doctors spend on average about 15 to 20 minutes with each patient they see for routine exams. (Of course, there is often time out of the exam room that is spent reviewing the chart and records.) The experience can be both confusing and frustrating when communication on one or both sides is lacking, particularly if you're presented with new information to process or new instructions to follow.
While a visit to the clinic can be intimidating for anyone, you can lessen the stress and worry associated with doctor's appointments by taking steps to be sure that you're provided with all the information you need at the appointment. There are also ways to improve the quality of care by helping the doctor develop the best understanding possible of your symptoms and condition.

Best Stretches for Arthritis Morning Stiffness
For many people with arthritis, morning is the most difficult part of the day. Waking up with stiff joints or joint pain is a common complaint. Although it may seem like the hardest time of day to get moving, doing a few stretches in the morning can give you a more limber start to your day. It only takes a few minutes to stretch and warm up your muscles and joints. But for the best results, the key is to do arthritis stretches every day. Taking a warm shower before or after stretching can also help...
Read the Best Stretches for Arthritis Morning Stiffness article > >
Before the appointment, write down a list of things you need to tell the doctor. Note any concerns or questions you may have. Also write down the names and dosages of any prescription, over-the-counter medications, or supplements you are taking. It is very important to take this list with you to the appointment -- don't count on remembering every single item. Before you leave the office, go over the list to be sure you've covered everything. This simple step benefits both you and your doctor by keeping the discussion focused and ensuring that all concerns are addressed.
Don't hesitate to use the words "I don't understand." Doctors are only human and may not always know when they haven't explained something well or in terms you can understand. Never feel embarrassed or shy about asking for clarification about something your doctor says. When in doubt, repeat back what the doctor has told you and ask if you've got it right. You can also ask if he or she recommends any specific reading materials about your condition.
If your doctor asks questions that sound embarrassing or overly personal, remember that the information you provide enables him or her to better establish a diagnosis, or to determine which treatment is most appropriate. Never fib in response to questions about alcohol or drug use, sexual history, or other lifestyle matters. Be honest about the extent to which you are taking your prescriptions or following a treatment plan. Withholding the truth can affect the quality of your care and can even lead to a wrong diagnosis.

Originally posted on Fox Sports | Last updated 7/24/13
Crosstown rivals Lane Kiffin and Jim Mora stand on different sides in debate about up-tempo offenses in college football. Kiffin, the Southern California coach, is concerned about the possible safety ramifications of a style of play that crams an extra 20 plays in a 60-minute game. He says with all the emphasis being put on player safety these it makes sense to at least examine whether up-tempo offenses increase the risk of player injuries. UCLA's Mora, meanwhile, has embraced ''fast-break'' football in his first season as a college head coach. And he says that after being around the game for 30 years, ''I don't think there is a safety issue.'' UCLA was 13th in the nation, and third in the Pac-12 in plays per game at 81.7 plays per game.

We had a big room for couple of days and regretted we had to leave. My girlfriend kept complaining for a couple of days she just wants to go back, but the hostel was fully booked already. If we ever come back to Hague, this is where we will be staying. Just look out, there is a step when leaving the toilet.

Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
Seven Cubs pitchers continued their preparation for Cactus League play at Fitch Park this morning.
Carlos Zambrano and Carlos Silva essentially threw a two-inning "sim" game on Field #2, at least to the extent that each pitcher threw a certain number of pitches each "inning" (Zambrano 15 pitches each inning - 30 total, and Silva 20 pitches each inning - 40 total) while the other rested on the bench. (A true sim game would usually involve the hitters rotating out of the cage after putting a ball in play, but each batter facing "Z" and Silva today took their normal five-pitch AB even if they put all five pitches into play). Justin Berg followed Zambrano/Silva to the mound on Field #2 with a single 25-pitch inning. Zambrano and Silva faced Sam Fuld, Darwin Barney, Brad Snyder, Derrek Lee, Marlon Byrd, Bobby Scales, Robinson Chirinos, Blake Lalli, and Brett Jackson in their pseudo-sim game, while Andres Blanco, Micah Hoffpauir, Chad Tracy and Kevin Millar faced Berg in his "live" BP session.
Sam Fuld and Micah Hoffpauir had some really nice swings, and Carlos Silva actually looked fairly ambulatory out there on the mound. He doesn't seem to be hurting, although his pitches sure don't fool anybody. It would probably really help his release point and arm angle (and overall health) if he could maybe lose a few pounds around the gut.
Randy Wells (who did not throw today) has been named the starter in the Cubs Cactus League opener on Thursday versus Oakland, while Zambrano is scheduled to start Friday's game versus Arizona and Silva is slated to start Saturday versus the White Sox in a game that will be televised on WGN-TV. (The Cubs are home at HoHoKam Park for six of the first seven days at the start of Cactus League play and for five of the last seven days at the end of the month, but they only play four games at HoHoKam over the 15-day period running from March 11th through March 25th).
Meanwhile, Ryan Dempster (who will start his first Spring Training game next Monday) threw one 35-pitch inning (he will probably throw a two-inning "sim" game sometime later this week), and Carlos Marmol, Jiohn Grabow, and Esmailin Caridad each threw one 25-pitch inning on Field #3. Tyler Colvin, Matt Camp, Bryan Lahair, James Adduci, and Steve Clevenger faced Dempster and Marmol, while Alfonso Soriano, Starlin Castro, and Kosuke Fukudome hit against Grabow and Caridad. Grabow was hit hard, but Dempster looked good, and Marmol and Caridad were absolutely "lights out" (and Marmol didn't even hit anybody!).
Fukudome hit Grabow pretty well, especially considering Kosuke's perceived weakness versus LHP. Along with Tyler Colvin and Geovany Soto, Fukudome has probably been the most-impressive hitter so far in camp, and I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up hitting lead-off and playing RF most every day this year. In fact, this could well be his MLB "break-out" season.
Soriano (somewhat surprisingly) also has been swinging the bat well so far, although he apparently is not yet able to cut loose running the bases.
Andrew Cashner and John Gaub threw an early-morning "live" BP prior to the full-squad work-out.
While Cashner and Gaub were getting in their work, Ryne Sandberg and Alan Trammell were working out Starlin Castro on Field #5 (the "half-field" - infield-only). No question Castro impressed Ryno and Trammell, but especially Trammell, probablly because this was the first chance Trammell had to work one-on-one with the young Cubs shortstop prodigy. Castro is indeed by all accounts a pleasure to coach.
The Cubs will presumably be moving up Center Street to HoHoKam Park tomorrow, where they will likely have a traditional work-out, with BP, infield practice, and some side bullpen sessions. (Piniella doesn't like intrasquad games).
Uncle Lou probably would have liked to have moved his team out of Fitch Park today, but the Cubs were hosting the Cactus League VIP Brunch at HoHoKam Park this morning.
The Cubs minor leaguers will now move into Fitch Park, with pitchers & catchers reporting on Thursday, and all other players reporting next Tuesday. The first minor league Spring Training games will probably be on March 18th.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
woo...spring baseball.

cubs playing oakland on the 4th, btw...believe it's a "home" game for the cubs.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
Good stuff, as always, Phil.
Aside from the need for Slim-Fast, I was wondering if Silva is showing anything more than his one pitch repertoire (sinker). I read quotes from him earlier this off-season in which he indicated that he had made real progress on a curve ball, which he was looking forward to mixing in with the sinker.
Any sign of the yakker, or is it too soon in ST to be throwing that?
Much appreciated.

Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
about f'n time a sportswriter found this story this spring.
we got this guy for a while...been wondering when a sori-story would drop that had a bit of substance.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
The injured quad transformed Soriano from a greyhound on the basepaths to a mutt. It robbed Soriano, seemingly for good, of his difference-making speed.
"That changed him," said Cubs general manager Jim Hendry of the quad strain.
There Hendry goes covering his ass again. The small tear in the quad didn't "change him," he had been running about half as often all season compared to 2006 prior to the quad tear. And he stole the same number of bases in 2008 as he did in 2007. There was no noticeable difference due to the quad injury. In fact, he stole his 19 bases in 2008 playing 24 fewer games than in 2007! So he was actually doing better after the tear.
Nope, in true goofy Hendry fashion, he acquires an old guy who's probably older than posted and whose only natural position is DH and sticks him in centerfield where he promptly cripples himself because, lo and behold! he's not a centerfielder-- or any kind of fielder for that matter. And that's the truth. His legs were gone by mid April 2007 if not spring training the month before.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
Well, Jim... that's kind of the risk you take with 10 year, 800 million dollar contracts...
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
Alfonso Soriano would give anything, including some of his $136 million contract, if you could guarantee him what he hasn't had as a Chicago Cub.
His health.
how about Soriano gives up "some of his $136 million contract" until he's healthy and then the Cubs give it back to him.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
And HENDRY, too???
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
I remember several years ago, Peter Gammons did a piece on Soriano. He was with the Nats at the time and there was talk that Mgr. Frank Robinson was going to move Soriano from 2nd base to the outfield. Soriano resisted the move and caught a lot of flack for it.
In Gammons' report, he talked about what a really nice guy Soriano is, how he is well-respected and well-liked by all of his teammates, and how he genuinely cares about what everyone thinks of him. At the time, Gammons said that Soriano's main concern was that he wouldn't be good enough in the outfield and that his play would hurt his team. Because Soriano had grown up as an infielder, he was afraid that he might never be as good in the outfield as he was in the infield (I know, it seems funny now).
The picture Gammons painted was of a proud guy who wanted to do what was best for his team, but was afraid he might not be able to adjust to the position change. I remember thinking at the time that Soriano was being a selfish SOB, but Gammon's piece made me look at him in a different light.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
Because Soriano had grown up as an infielder, he was afraid that he might never be as good in the outfield as he was in the infield (I know, it seems funny now).
considering he was recognized as the worst thing that ever happened at 2b, it appears he's just delusional

no...this doesn't prove anything, but they were having a laugh.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
Just picked up the 360 version of MLB2K10.
Soriano does his stupid hop in the OF when catching a popup.
Fukudome corkscrews himself into the ground when he swings and misses.
Z blasts homeruns as often as Soriano.
When you pitch with Marmol, it's very difficult not to "overthrow" the ball.
So all and all, it's pretty accurate.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
I'll certainly avoid that title this year. Ran out and bought the darned thing at midnight last year, but was incredibly disappointed with the game play. Maybe played 50 total games with it before I put it on the shelf. I miss The Show series and I wish I owned a PS3 instead of a 360.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
Wes, I read the reviews of 2k9 and avoided it like the plague.
2k10 is getting good marks, and they've revamped just about everything.
The Show is definitely the better game but 2k10 is much better based on all the reviews (compared to 2k9). it's worth a rental to see if you like the changes.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
I'm still playing The Show 07. I'm actually considering getting a PS3 in large part because I'd like to see how much better the 2010 version is. Then again, all told that'd be like $350 that I don't have anyway, so maybe I should be doing other things with my time.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
They are down to 299 now.
I've been playing the Show from last year on it. The Road to the show mode on it is really cool. Especially if you turn up the difficulty level.
Video games
I lost faith in the system when 2K got the exclusive instead of EA Sports. MVP 2003 is still one of my fav games ever. I hadn't picked up anything in a few years until I got 2K9 and The Show this past xmas for PSP; I've been enjoying the road to the show on The Show, seems pretty fun. They're both a helluva lot better than that 2K disaster in '06 but I still don't know that they measure up in the funmeter to the old MVP Baseball

Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
Promising Headline
Sabermetrics gains ground with Cubs
then it talks about using day/night splits and Hendry preferring scouts, but saying enough jibberish that he isn't roasted at the spit for saying he ignores them. Cubs are embracing sabermetrics at the pace they embraced signing black players.
at least Ricketts is on board...
Re: Promising Headline
Yes, but like Ernie, the first sabermetric they embrace will turn out to be a superstar. But they won't put up with uppity sabermetrics or ones that don't 'know their place'.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
"When it comes to crunch-time, believe me, all the (statistical) information has been processed," Hendry said. "But by the end of the day … I'm going to look at (scouting advisers) Kenny Kravec or Dave Littlefield or Gary Hughes, and say: 'This is what I think. What do you think?' "
But not what Tim Wilken thinks... The three guys mentioned are all asst.s to the GM.
Clearly Tim Wilken's job is far far below the decision level in the Hendry organization.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
Could it be, and I am just spitballing here, that he's not talking about the amateur draft?
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
Director, Amateur & Professional Scouting - Tim Wilken
Tim Wilken: Once the draft is over, I turn my attention to professional scouting, which I coordinate with Randy Bush and Jim Hendry. We talk frequently about potential deals between May and the trade deadline.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
Do you realize that guys in short season and A ball are professionals? The article is about MLB players.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
Actually I didn't realize that, at least in the context of Wilken's title (Director of Amateur and Professional Scouting). I've been taking professional to mean MLB, and assuming that Wilken must have bought into the acquisitions of Fukudome and Bradley.
I hope you're right. If Wilken was out of the loop, that's better. I'd rather blame it on Gary Hughes.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
I'm pretty confident that is the way most if not all teams are set up. The MLB scouts do not report to the scouting director. Maybe AZ Phil or one of our other experts will chime in.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
Were going to look at Batting average. Were going to look at Rbi's. Were going to look at Win-loss records. No stone will be left unturned.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
I believe he is talking about scouting ML players here. I don't think Wilken has much input on veteran players.
Neyer's take
But Jim Hendry admits that he'll "always be a scouting guy first." I wonder if the Cubs would be better if he just went back to being a scout, period.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
You really know the game is simulated when it only takes Zambrano 30 pitches to get through two innings.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
AZ PHIL: Do you believe Andrew Cashner will be on this club as a set-up man? Yesterday you alluded to the idea that as a college closer, primarily, he was lights out at that level - going only an inning or so.
Barring a trade, do you think the Cubs would give the guy a shot it being only the start of his 3rd year in pro ball?
Seeing him more regularly in your neck of the woods, how do you think he will project out, and do you think the Cubs plan on keeping him rather than trading away. He was our #1 or #2 draft pick, IIRC, right?
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
Cubs "may have signed" Juan Yasser Serrano, a 20 year oldish pitcher from Cuba, though MLB Trade Rumors is using their exentesive network to confirm that he hasn't signed.

Why are we talking baseball when today is the NHL trade deadline?
Choice Quote on Sori
n case you missed this piece by Gene Wojochowski, here is a fun excerpt on our $18MM a year left fielder:
"I show Soriano's 2009 numbers to a major league scout. Says the scout:
"He hit .241 -- geezus. He had 20 home runs and 55 RBIs in 447 at-bats. That is not even close to average. That's terrible. He had 118 strikeouts and 40 walks. Terrible."
In other words, the Cubs paid $850,000 per Soriano dinger last year. Worse yet, he hit 12 of those homers in his first 35 games, then only eight in his final 82 games.
Soriano was a defensive liability. He couldn't steal. His on-base percentage from the leadoff spot was a gruesome .295. He got hurt again.
And by the way, there are five years left on his deal at $19 mil per year."
I can't lie, in that I was floored, and excited when I found out Hendry actually signed the number one FA coming out of 2006-2007, but SHIT - I really wonder if the "Cubs Jinx" is an actual phenomena as golden pick has turned to dust, truly handicapping the team.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
Signing Sori wasn't the problem. It's that he outbid everyone else by 3 years and about 50 million dollars.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
Probably false, but since Hendry jumped way out in front of the market and high-balled Soriano before the market could completely develop, we'll never know.
Consensus was certainly that Sori was going to have no problem getting a 7-year deal.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
If I recall directly, part of the justification for signing him at that lofty level was that he was going to play CF and give the Cubs their first real power/speed threat at the position in memory.
That CF experiment lasted about 3 days in ST, as I recall.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
Your memory is really bad.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
they signed him to play a corner spot and Lou in spring or right before spring training thought center field made more sense(which most of us at least agreed with). They also had JJ, murton, floyd, and Pie in the mix, so no real Cf option. It lasted 12 games before Soriano hurt himself going in on a ball, IIRC, and JJ, Pagan and Pie played there most of the rest of the way.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
Mostly Jones, who played a surprisingly adequate CF.
Re:he outbid everyone else by 3 years and about 50 million
We're lucky he ran out of money at that point.
Angels were in on Soriano
to name one team, and most thought the deal was out there. 3/50 is a bit of an exaggeration though. I think teams were in the 6/7 yr range at similar yearly figures.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
We hadn't seen many guys (non Arod/manram in 2000 anyway)get more than 5 years at that point on the Free Agent market. Especially not since after the 2002-2003 free agent downturn.
Hendry, as is his MO jumped out of the gate and "Set the market". Then you saw it raise the $/years on Carlos Lee and Vernon Wells directly after.
I know that Washington publicly offered Soriano a 5 year extension to stay.
Re: Cubs Get Ready for Cactus League Play
THE best move by Hendry: Greg Maddux. We have a bunch of wide-eyed youngsters due to trades, etc., and now coach Greg will show them Game Preparation, mound Thought Control, and Pitch Placement Theology. Everyone shall have a come to Dejesus moment. Blessed are the poor in arm, for they shall be prepared. Game on. Jinx Nix. 31 rules!

Recent comments
Apparently the Yankees had the choice of either Gleyber Torres or Eloy Jimenez in the Chapman deal, and they chose Torrers.
Chapman shouldn't be reserved anymore on 40 man.
Interesting split on Heyward according to ESPN. As a CF, his slash line .292/.363/.375/.738. At RF: .212/.204/.300/.604. 21/72 as a CF, 58/273 as a RF.
He's also been better when batting 2nd, but he had a nice start in the 6 hole, but has slumped ever since. He was heating up before the All Star break, but is only hitting .108 in the 2nd half.
When we played the Reds with Chapman, I always thought of it as an eight-inning game. So now other teams have eight innings to try to get a lead against the Cubs. Should be a challenge, assuming three or four Cubs ever start hitting again.
I don't really try to get to know and like these players personally. I'm rooting for laundry, for the most part. Exceptions might be when a player makes trouble in the clubhouse or in the dugout. (Zambrano and Bradley come to mind. Also Papelbon.) But I don't think Chapman is one of those jerks.
Unfortunately, a pretty good summary. It looks like next year Heyward will be getting yet another batting stance adjustment.
The recent good news has been Baez. I'm afraid about the next league adjustment on him, though, which is probably right around the corner.
Bryant I don't worry about too much. Just not seeing the ball well right now. He'll turn it around. Russell's been good with men in scoring position all year and he's 22ish. He'll be fine but next year is likely to be his breakout year.
If Travis' back-to-back-to-back walks cost Hendricks the ERA title, that would really suck.
Edit: "A lifeless loss to a lousy Sox team."
This place is a real downer after a loss to the Sox.
I expect they will go 5-9 games above .500 the rest of the year. 96-98 wins will win the Division.
They should have one more 2-3 week hot streak in them.
However, several players are just "average" for the last month: Zobrist, Ross, Russell, Ceasar. Montero is terrible, plus he cannot throw anyone out. -WAR. Heyward is abysmal at the plate, but a plus in the OF. Still with RISP he has been terrible. KB has not been driving in runs as of late. But Apparently the team is still above average with RISP according to S Sahadev.
I came to that realization tonight. I kept expecting them to play better, but now I realize they aren't going to. They are a .500 team now.
- They have one reliable starting pitcher. Jake's magic is gone, and it doesn't look like it's coming back. Lester has been lousy recently. Lackey's ERA goes up every time he pitches.
- Heyward has been dead weight all year. I can't remember a single series where he was a significant offensive contributor. Not one. Great defense, but but if he were hitting .270 with 10 HR and played average defense, the Cubs would be better off.
new rule...no one's allowed to throw k.bryant a changeup
Team is .500 since early May and is playing like a .500 team. Lack of offense seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers...and they aren't handling it terribly well.
.500 the rest of the way still may win the division though.
...i hate espn.
nothing like settling into a cubs game to get a few minutes cutaway for an ortiz AB in the 6th inning of the det/bos game.
oh, at least they're doing split screen now...i guess.
I'm liking this rookie Nathan.
Richard DFA'd. Meh...
Throwbacks with fashionable cutouts would be a nice touch.

Murray Talks Ghostbusters 3
There are 1 comment on the IGN Gear story from Feb 14, 2010, titled Murray Talks Ghostbusters 3. In it, IGN Gear reports that:
Bill Murray has been discussing his potential participation in Ghostbusters 3 , intimating that he's keen to take part in the long-gestating sequel.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at IGN Gear.
#1 Feb 14, 2010
I only know this much: I don't want to see a Ghostbusters movie that will kill off my favorite character. I think GB can be considered to be scifi, and I enjoy many different brands of science fiction entertainment, among them also being Star Trek. I think the world of Bill Murray, but don't want to see another movie like Star Trek Generations. I know that it was just a movie of course, but I felt sick when the credits rolled. I am NOT a glutton for punishment and hope Ghostbusters fans aren't being asked to sit through anything similar for the benefit of fulfilling an individual's personal druthers. I would prefer to not see the movie, as opposed to being disappointed like that again.

Baggs' Instant Replay: Giants 9, Diamondbacks 6
Belt: 'We just don't give up'
Brandon Belt's three-run homer in the eighth led the Giants to a 9-6 win and a sweep of the Diamondbacks. (AP)
PHOENIX – The Giants were the comeback kings of April. This you knew already.
They began May in the same high fashion, with yet another pivotal home run in the late innings and yet another come-from-behind victory.
The Arizona Diamondbacks bullpen is giving out more gift baskets than Pepperidge Farm, and their relievers were generous again to Brandon Belt and Co. as the Giants powered their way to a 9-6 win and a three-game sweep at Chase Field.
Belt hit a three-run home run in the eighth inning to turn around a 6-4 deficit and the Giants had eight of their 10 hits go for extra bases while grabbing their ninth comeback win out of 16 happy handshake lines this season.
Belt walloped an 0-2 fastball from David Hernandez that was supposed to be at the eyes to induce a swing but instead stayed true to the buckle. It was his third homer of the season, and all of them have come in six games against the Diamondbacks.
The Cactus League's leading home run hitter must be closing his eyes and envisioning himself at Salt River Fields. He's 7 for 17 with eight RBI against Arizona pitching.
Belt isn't the only one. The Giants have hit five home runs (and 17 runs total) in the eighth inning or later in their six games against Arizona.
And Belt's shot was the Giants' sixth of the season that tied the game or put them ahead in the eighth inning or later.
It also took Tim Lincecum off the hook for a loss after he gave up five runs on a career high-tying 10 hits in five innings.
Pablo Sandoval added a ringing RBI double in a two-run ninth inning. It was their eighth extra-base hit -- more than they managed in a game all last year. (They had nine on Sept. 18, 2011, at Coors Field.)
The Giants scored five runs on just two hits in the last two innings, courtesy of the Diamondbacks' generous bullpen. Toss in a couple summer sausages and a cheese log and you've got a great gift for any occasion.
The extra runs in the ninth made life easier on Sergio Romo, who pitched around one baserunner and a jammed hand while recording his major league high tying 11th save.
Starting pitching report
There are some adjectives that pitchers never want to hear. "Hittable" is up there near the top of the list.
Lincecum was very, very hittable Wednesday night.
He matched his career high with 10 hits allowed in five innings – more hits than he allowed in any start last season – and departed after giving up five runs in five innings.
He did not walk a batter, though, for the first time in 60 starts. And can you guess what happened the last time he went walk-free? It was June 1, 2011, at St. Louis – and he gave up five runs on 10 hits.
Lincecum's night started out with a small victory. Following a pair of singles, he induced a double-play grounder from Paul Goldschmidt – the hitter who entered 8 for 14 with five home runs against him.
But the matchup page didn't count for much on this night. The Diamondbacks found a new foil in Cliff Pennington; the former A's shortstop entered just 1 for 14 with five strikeouts against Lincecum, but he connected for a three-run home run in the second inning.
A.J. Pollock had reached on a line single, then advanced on Lincecum's errant pickoff throw and took third on Eric Chavez's single. With an 0-1 count, Pennington didn't miss a 91 mph fastball down the middle.
Lincecum was dominant while striking out two in the third inning, but Pollock started the fourth with an infield single and scored on Eric Chavez's double that sliced away from a diving Angel Pagan in center field.
The Diamondbacks added a fifth run against Lincecum in the fifth inning after Martin Prado hit a two-out double. Goldschmidt, who had struck out looking in addition to his double-play grounder, finally sank his teeth into Lincecum. He barely broke the skin with a bloop single, but it scored Prado without a throw.
Lincecum's final line: Five innings, 10 hits, five runs (all earned), no walks and six strikeouts.
Bullpen report
Javier Lopez had a tough night. He faced three batters in the sixth and retired just one of them, first giving up a single to Eric Chavez, and then, allowed to face a right-handed hitter, an RBI double to Pennington as Arizona made it a 6-4 lead.
George Kontos did well to strand the inherited runner in scoring position, then used a double-play grounder from Pollock to finish a quick seventh inning.
Jean Machi, now apparently a prime right-handed setup man, needed help to escape the eighth. He left runners at the corners after a leadoff walk and a two-out, seeing-eye single.
The Giants already used Lopez, their lone lefty in this series, and so Bruce Bochy summoned Santiago Casilla to face Parra, a tough left-handed hitter. Casilla showed his versatility while mixing fastball, curve and slider – the last of which made it through Parra's swing to end the inning.
Romo made it 11 for 12 while holding the Diamondbacks scoreless for a 27th consecutive game. Romo hasn't allowed a run to Arizona over 20 innings dating to Sept. 6, 2010 – before he owned either of his two World Series rings.
Romo did have a scary moment when he grabbed his left wrist after trying to cover first base on a potential double play. But he virtually ran away when head athletic trainer Dave Groeschner tried to take a look at him, and remained in the game.
At the plate
The Giants flashed plenty of power with three home runs, and Belt's shot wasn't the most prodigious.
Hunter Pence obliterated Brandon McCarthy's first-pitch fastball like it was a batting practice pitch in the sixth inning, driving it high and just to the right of center field, near the camera stage. The solo shot was estimated at 460 feet, which if accurate, would rank as the longest homer of his career. (He hit a shot estimated at 449 feet in 2010 at St. Louis.)
Angel Pagan also homered to start the game – his sixth career leadoff homer, not counting his shot at Cincinnati in the NL Division Series last October.
The Giants had extra-base power, too, while carving away some of Arizona's lead in the fifth. Gregor Blanco doubled, Pagan doubled into the left field corner and then Brandon Crawford tripled when right fielder Gerardo Parra came up short on a diving attempt to make it 4-3.
Sandoval lifted a fly out to center field, though, and slapped the bat with his hand – one of several signs of frustration by Giants hitters against Brandon McCarthy, who left plenty of unredeemed mistakes at the belt.
But the Giants still trailed entering the eighth, and Arizona's bullpen broke down once more. Pence and Blanco drew walks from David Hernandez, and the hard-throwing right-hander had Belt down 0-2.
Arizona catcher Miguel Montero practically stood up as he set the target for a high fastball, but Hernandez didn't elevate it enough and Belt swatted it into the right field stands.
In field
Crawford made one tremendous relay throw and one that wasn't so tremendous. On Chavez's double in the fourth, Pagan got to his feet after his missed diving attempt and made a quick, hair whirling relay throw. Crawford received it and threw to a perfect spot as Chavez slid into Sandoval's tag. (Chavez appeared to spike Sandoval in the process, though it didn't appear to be intentional.)
Crawford had another chance to gun down a runner in the sixth, after Blanco collected Pennington's double in the left field corner. Crawford had enough time to throw out Chavez at the plate, but his throw was high and Buster Posey had to jump just to prevent it from sailing to the backstop.
The Diamondbacks announced 21,177 paid, and if this keeps up, they'll start to leave along with their starting pitcher, thank you very much.
Up next
The Giants take a day off Thursday before beginning their homestand and a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. Barry Zito (3-1, 3.29) is scheduled to face Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw (3-2, 1.73), who will rejoin the team from the bereavement list following the death of his father. Ryan Vogelsong (1-2, 6.23) will take the mound Saturday against left-hander Ted Lilly (0-1, 5.63), who remains questionable with a back issue. Matt Cain (0-2, 6.49) gets the ball in Sunday's series finale against left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu (3-1, 3.35).

One of Canada's most respected actresses, Sandra Oh is one of her country's growing number of talented performers to make their presence felt in Hollywood. Oh, who is of Korean heritage, was born in Nepean, Ottawa, and began acting at the age of ten. Despite the disapproval of her traditionally-minded parents, she embarked on a professional acting career when she was barely out of her teens. After attending the National Theatre School of Canada in Montreal, Oh had her breakthrough in the 1993 CBC production of Runaway: The Diary of Evelyn Lau. Her portrayal of the title character, a 14-year-old runaway who endured hard times while living on the street, earned Oh a FIPA d'Or for Best Actress at Cannes.
On the big screen, Oh first earned raves and recognition for her portrayal of a Chinese-Canadian woman struggling with both the demands of her conservative parents and those placed on her by society in response to her ethnic identity in Double Happiness. Her thoughtful, funny performance earned Oh her first Genie Award (Canada's equivalent of the Oscar), but unfortunately, further work was not immediately forthcoming. Things began to look up when Oh was cast on the popular HBO series Arli$$ in 1996, and in a bit part in the hit comedy Bean (1997).
Oh found greater success as one of the stars of Don McKellar's Last Night (1998), a comedy-drama about the end of the world that cast the actress as a woman trying to get across town in time to make good on a suicide pact she has with her husband (David Cronenberg). An internationally praised film that enjoyed a particularly strong reception at the Toronto and Cannes Festivals, it received a number of awards, including a second Genie for Oh. The following year, Oh took part in another critical hit with Audrey Wells' Guinevere, in which she appeared alongside fellow Canadian Sarah Polley as one of a number of young women taken under the wing of a dubious mentor (Stephen Rea).
Oh ushered in the new millenium with a role in the largely-improvised ensemble film Dancing at the Blue Iguana, and the ensuing years saw the actress primarily take on a variety of small character roles in such films as Big Fat Liar and Under the Tuscan Sun. In 2004, however, she garnered a number of positive responses playing the impulsive-but-tough Stephanie in then-husband Alexander Payne's dramedy Sideways. The role would be a breakthrough, even if Payne and Oh announced the end of their marriage shortly after the film was honored at the 2005 Academy Awards. Oh's professional life continued to improve landing a major role on the television series Gray's Anatomy. Her caustic, hilarious and often heartbreaking work in that series earned her strong reviews, as well as a Golden Globe Award and Emmy recognition. In 2006 she took time off from the show to appear opposite Robin Williams in the thriller The Night Listener.
Oh would go on to appear in a number of feature films in the coming years, like Blindness, Defendor, and Ramona and Beezus.

Apple's Steve Jobs calls family of teen killed for iPod
In a phone call to the father of the 15-year-old boy who was fatally stabbed over his iPod last week in Brooklyn, Apple CEO Steve Jobs conveyed his sympathies and told the man not to hesitate to ask if there was anything Jobs could do for him.
"I didn't know who he was," Errol Rose, father of the slain Christopher Rose, told The New York Times. "He called me on my cellphone, at 4 maybe. Or maybe it was 5."
"He told me that he understood my pain," Rose said. "He told me if there is anything—anything—he could do, to not be afraid to call him. It really lightened me a bit. Some people talk to you like they're something remote," Rose said. "He was so familiar. After every word, he paused, as if each word he said came from his heart."
"We live in a world which is changing rapidly," Rose said. "We have the technology that can give us the iPod and everything else, but it's not all these things. We have to work on the minds and the hearts. We're failing these kids. We're not loving them like we're supposed to."

The situation is as follows:
I have dozens of thousands of sensors (lets say 100,000). Each sensor produces regularly or irregularly timed values in the form of
(timestamp, value). The step-width may be under 1 second, so in the course of a year there can be millions of
(timestamp, value) pairs for a specific sensor, forming a time series per sensor. A user may request the values for a time period
(from, to) for such a time series of sensor.
Storing all the values in one table (
sensor_id, timestamp, value) will fill the table with literally billions of values/rows per month. This overwhelms traditional open-source database-systems (MySQL, PostgreSQL).
I am thinking of creating a table per sensor time series
(timestamp, value) and reference that in my sensor table
(sensor_id, sensor_name, sensor_table_name). So there will be 100,000 tables with each some millions of rows.
Can I fetch the values directly using the
sensor_table_name column in my sensor directly or do I have to do two queries, one to get the
sensor_table_name and one to get the values out of that table?

Chapter 1
"I'm sick and tired of killing this stupid inspirational junk," I said. "If Julie Singletree doesn't stop sending it, I'm going to kill her, as well as her messages."
I'd been talking to myself, but when I raised my eyes from the computer screen, I realized I was also snarling at Aunt Nettie. She had nothing to do with the e-mail that had been driving me crazy, but she had innocently walked into my office, making herself a handy target for a glare.
Aunt Nettie smiled placidly; she'd understood that I was mad about my e-mail, not her. "Are you talking about that silly girl who's trying to be a party planner?"
"Yes. I know she got us that big order for the chocolate mice, but I'm beginning to think the business she could throw our way can't be worth the nausea brought on by these daily does of Victorian sentiment."
Aunt Nettie settled her solid Dutch figure into a chair and adjusted the white food-service hairnet that covered her hair – blond, streaked with gray. I don't know how she works with chocolate all day and keeps her white tunic and pants so sparkling clean.
"Victorian sentiment isn't your style, Lee," she said.
"Julie is sending six of us half a dozen messages every day, and I am not interested in her childish view of life. She alternates between ain't-life-grand and ain't-life-a-bitch, but both versions are coated with silly sugar. She never has anything clever or witty. Just dumb."
"Why haven't you asked to be taken off her lists?"
I sighed and reached into my top desk drawer to raid my stash for a Bailey's Irish Cream bonbon ("Classic cream liqueur interior in a dark chocolate"). I'd worked for TenHuis Chocolade for more than two years, but I wasn't at all tired of our products, described on our stationary as "Handmade chocolates in the Dutch tradition." When you're hassled by minor annoyances, such as e-mail, nothing soothes the troubled mind like a dose of chocolate.
Aunt Nettie was waiting for an answer, and I was hard put to find one. "I suppose I kept thinking if I didn't respond she'd simply drop me from the her jokes and junk list." I said.
"You didn't even want to tell her you don't want to receive any more spam?"
"Oh, it's not spam. She's made up a little list of us – it's all west Michigan people connected with the fine foods and parties trade. Lindy's on it, thanks to her new job in catering. There's Jason Foster – you know, he's got the contract for the new restaurant at Warner Point. There's Carolyn Rose, at House of Roses – she carries a line of gourmet items. Margaret Van Myer from Holland – the cake decorating gal. And the Denhams, at Hideaway Inn. We're all on the list. And since we all deal with fancy foods, Julie has named us the "Seventh Major Food Group." You know – grains, dairy, vegetables, fruit, meat, fats, and party food."
"It is a funny name."
"It's the only witty idea Julie ever had." I gestured toward the screen. "This message is typical. 'A Prayer for the Working Woman.' I haven't read it, but I already know what it says."
"What?" Aunt Nettie smiled. "Since I've worked all my life, I might benefit from a little prayer."
"I can make you a printout, if you can stand the grossly lush roses Julie uses as a border." I punched the appropriate keys as I talked. "I predict it will be about how downtrodden women are today because most of us work."
"Since I own my own business, I guess I'm one of the downtrodders, not the downtrodden."
"Exactly!" I spoke before I thought, but luckily my reaction bemused Aunt Nettie. We both laughed. Then I began to backpedal. "You're a dream to work for, Aunt Nettie. You're definitely not a downtrodder. And you're not downtrodden, because you enjoy your job. But Julie can't seem to make up her mind. If she isn't sending stuff claiming today's women are put-upon because we have to work, she's sending stuff saying we don't get a chance at the good jobs. I can understand both views, but she wraps them up in enough syrup to make a hundred maple cream truffles.
"You'll have to assert yourself, Lee. Tell her you don't like her e-mails."
I sighed. "About the time I tell her that, she'll actually land a big wedding, and the bride will want enough bonbons and truffles for four hundred people, and we'll lose out on a couple of thousand dollars in business. Or Schrader Laboratories will plan another banquet and want an additional three hundred souvenir boxes of mice."
I gestured toward the decorated gift box on the corner of my desk. Aunt Nettie had shipped of the order to weeks before, but I'd saved one as a sample. The box contained a dozen one-inch chocolate mice – six replicas of the laboratory mice in white chocolate and six tiny versions of a computer mouse, half in milk chocolate and half in dark.
Schrader Laboratories is a Grand Rapids firm that does product testing – sometimes using laboratory mice and sometimes computers. A special item like the souvenir made for their annual dinner means risk-free profit for TenHuis Chocolade; we know they're sold before we order the boxes they'll be packed in.
"That was a nice bit of business Julie threw our way, even if she did get the order from a relative," I said. "I can put up with a certain amount of gooey sentiment for that amount of money."
"It might be cheaper to give it up than to hire a psychiatrist. You've got plenty to do. Tell Julie your mean old boss has cracked down on the nonbusiness e-mail."
Aunt Nettie smiled her usual sweet smile. "And I really am going to add to your chores. We need Amaretto."
"I'll get some on my way home."
Amaretto is used to flavor a truffle that is extremely popular with TenHuis Chocolade customers. Our product list describes it as "Milk chocolate interior flavored with almond liqueur and coated in white chocolate." The truffle is decorated with three milk chocolate stripes, but its mainly white color makes it an ideal accent for boxes of Valentine candy and at that moment we were just four weeks away from Valentine's Day. I knew Aunt Nettie and the twenty-five ladies who actually make TenHuis chocolates had been using a lot of Amaretto as they got ready for the major chocolate holiday. But liqueurs go a long way when used only for flavoring; one bottle would probably see us through the rush.
I handed Aunt Nettie the printout of Julie's dumb e-mail – all ten pages of it. Julie never cleans the previous messages off the bottom of e-mails she forwards or replies to. Then Aunt Nettie went back to her antiseptically clean workroom.
I wrote "Amaretto" on a Post-it and stuck the note to the side of my handbag before I turned back to my computer. I manipulated my mouse until the arrow was on REPLY ALL and clicked it. Then I stared at the screen, trying to figure our how to be tactful and still stop Julie's daily drivel.
Dear Seventh Major Food Group," I typed. Maybe Julie wouldn't feel that I'd singled her out. "This is one of the busiest seasons for the chocolate business, and my aunt and I have decided that we simply have to crack down nonbusiness e-mail, so I spend a lot of time clearing it. As great as the jokes and inspirational material that we exchange on this list can be," I lied, "I just can't justify the time I spend reading them. So please drop me from the joke/inspiration list. But please continue to include me in the business tips!"
I sent the message to the whole list, feeling smug. I was genuinely hopeful that I'd managed to drop the cornball philosophy without dropping some valuable business associates along with it.
I wasn't prepared the next day when I got a call from Lindy Herrera, my best friend and manager for Hererra Catering.
"Lee!" Lindy sounded frantic. "Have you had the television on?"
"No. Why?"
"I was watching the news on the Grand Rapids station. Oh, Lee, it's awful!"
"What's happened?"
"It's Julie Singletree! She's been murdered!"

Lee fully intends to stay out of this investigation. After all, Julie lived in a neighboring town. But the morning after the funeral, several members of the group are hit by a computer virus. Another has her shop broken into and her computer's memory erased. As things continue to escalate, Lee can't keep her curiosity to herself and begins nosing around.
As if all this weren't enough, Joe and Lee are trying to work out the details of their upcoming wedding. Joe wants a big fancy affair and Lee just wants a few family members and close friends. Meanwhile, Aunt Nettie's sister-in-law contacts the shop hoping to find a job for her son, making Lee feel very insecure.
This series always entertains, and this book was no exception. The plot was a study in contrast. Some things jumped out and were obvious before the characters saw them; others were smack-your-head-how-could-I-miss-that moments. By the end there were lots of clues pointing to the killer, so chances are the reader will miss some if not all of them. Lee's "tong tangles" are kept to a minimum, mostly sprinkled into a few tense scenes.
The chocolate chats this go around were quotes about chocolate. It might be about time to drop the trivia and focus on the mystery. While it was a fun gimmick, it won't be missed.
Like candy, you can't read just one. I'm already hungry for the next volume.
This particular book has a "mouse" theme, and therefore has a computer theme. In this book, there are real mice (yuk! but not too many, and only mentioned about 3 times, so don't let that stop you from reading the book), chocolate mice (Aunt Nettie's chocolate shop molds chocolate into different shapes), and computer mouses (and computers).
In this book, there are murder(s), computer attacks, and computer annoyances. Lee is one of the "members" of the informal "Seventh Major Food Group", which is a group of small area business people. Could one of these people be the killer? Could all of them be in danger? Lee is busy trying to help her aunt run the chocolate shop, but she still has to find time to be careful and possibly find clues to the killer. She and Lindy have some dangerous adventures.
I love the way Lee describes chocolates, truffles, bonbons, etc from her aunt's shop. She also describes other things such as comparisons to Texas and Michigan. I am also from north Texas, and everything she says is true, and hits home. I enjoy hearing about those things (especially since I know from personal experience that she speaks the truth!) I know how Lee feels; I've also lived other places.
Page 126, Lee speaks of iced tea, and it really hit home. It was very true. I've always heard that there is no (or very little) iced tea in the North. I also know that in Texas there is plenty of iced tea, and that sugar is optional (Lee was very correct in saying this!) When I drink iced tea, sometimes I drink it without sugar, and sometimes I drink it with a small amount of sugar (but never a large amount). Usually, I drink it without sugar. Lee also mentioned the deep South, in which the hot tea is poured over sugar to dissolve it thoroughly. I have lived in the deep South (due to job transfers, etc.), and from personal experience, I know that they drink very heavily sweetened iced tea - never a small amount of sugar, and never without any sugar at all. (I always said they like a little bit of tea in their sugar - that's how much sugar they prefer in their iced tea.) But I usually drink mine, like I said earlier, totally without sugar. I prefer the taste of the tea without the sugar. (But sometimes I do use a little bit, but not much, sugar in my iced tea.) My child used to live in Colorado (I guess Colorado would be considered "North", even though I like to refer to it as "West"), and she said that she could only find iced tea at one particular restaurant, but no where else.
Anyway, I love this series, and I can't wait to get started on the next book. Even though I don't think I'd ever be interested in living in Michigan (Lee is one brave Texas girl to be able to live in that cold Michigan ice and snow), I plan to "go" to Michigan again in the sixth book of the series.
It's time to kill the stupid "tongue tangling" gimmick already. It's annoying enough as it is, but now it's starting to seem forced, as if the author is trying too hard to throw them in there just for the sake of throwing them in. And if that's not bad enough, she calls even more attention to it by having Lee repeat the correct word/sentence several times afterwards, as well as over-exaggerating peoples' responses to it. And can we stop with the overuse of exclamation points? Not everything everyone says is an exclamation.
On local TV news is the report someone murdered Julie. Lee feels bad and a bit guilty that she recently badmouthed the woman, but goes on with her life. That changes when assaults on the fancy food group occurs. Julie wonders if one of the other five is a killer or could an outsider have a grudge against them. Julie plans to find out before she or her aunt become victims.
The latest chocolate animal amateur sleuth novel is a fine tale as Lee changes from detesting the victim to guilt and sorrow over her death to fear and courage for the safety of her aunt and her. The heroine's transformation happens quite smoothly as she hated the sugary emails, but never wished Julie dead nor willing to allow herself or her aunt to join the deceased by idly waiting for the cops to solve the caper. Once Lee knows that she has a different deadly rodent than the chocolate mice she made for a Shraeder Labs gala, she begins her investigation into who wants to murder the fancy food group.
