Bay, other Pirates veterans disappointed by lack of moves
PITTSBURGH -- Near the end of last season, and the season before that, Jason Bay said the Pittsburgh Pirates needed major changes before they could win.
With spring training starting in three weeks, the outfielder still doesn't think these Pirates are ready to be a contender after making only a few cosmetic offseason adjustments.
No major league team of recent vintage lost as many games as the Pirates (67-94) did last season and returned the following season nearly intact but, barring any major spring training moves, these Pirates will.
"I said I think it's pretty obvious that this group of guys is not going to get it done," Bay said Friday. "Some people think if we get to .500, that would be great and that would be a nice pat on the back. As a player, that's not very comforting -- ultimately your goal is to get to the playoffs and win a championship. If you look at the team right now, I don't know if we're set up to be a championship team.
The lack of moves is a major disappointment to Bay and some other Pirates players who don't want to play a role in what would be a major league record-tying 16th consecutive losing season.
"I'm not saying we're terrible, but it's going to take a lot of things going right to do some things," Bay said.
The Pirates have signed only one free agent to a major league contract, utility infielder Chris Gomez for $1 million. On paper, they look weaker than last season's team after losing relievers Salomon Torres and Shawn Chacon and bench players Josh Phelps and Matt Kata without replacing them.
"What are you going to do? You've still got to go out there, but there's not a lot of expectations for us, even if that works to our advantage," Bay said. "I think we also understand it's going to take a lot of guys staying healthy, and not just being good but being great, to try to get us over a little bit of a hump."
Right-hander Matt Morris, who has pitched on a number of winning teams, also saw the Pirates' deficiencies after being traded to them late last season.
"It's just going to take a lot for this team, over this six months, to be able to compete every day," Morris said.
The Pirates ownership plans to keep the payroll at last year's level of about $51 million or slightly more, or far less than any other NL Central team is spending.
General manager Neal Huntington, hired only 10 days before last season ended, has a better understanding of how unhappy some fans are with the smallish payroll and the nonstop losing. Several fans cornered him at a recent Pirates caravan stop in Weirton, W.Va., and asked -- using a few choice words -- why he wasn't doing anything.
"It would have been easy to sign a free agent and make a splash, to get a positive newspaper headline, but we're not going to spend $50,000 for a used car that's worth $20,000," Huntington said. "We're also not going to make a trade just for the sake of making a trade."
Part of the Pirates' problem in the past, Huntington said, is they didn't make "good baseball decisions."
New team president Frank Coonelly also doesn't like how the club was run. Among his criticisms are that some players reported to spring training out of shape, the clubhouse lacked an atmosphere that was conducive to winning and the franchise overspent on free agents simply to quiet media talk they weren't doing enough to get better.
"No team underperformed more than the Pirates did (in 2007)," Coonelly said Friday, speaking at a media gathering in which nearly a dozen players from last season were in the room.
To Bay, the losing -- and he's not talking only about getting above .500 -- won't end until the Pirates get better players.
"You talk to people at these things and everyone is in the best shape of their life -- all that's great, but it's your job to be in the best shape of your life," Bay said. "I really don't know if that carries a ton of weight. Ultimately, if a guy reports in the worst shape of his life and goes out and performs, nobody cares."
Outfielder Xavier Nady, like Bay, believes the Pirates simply need more talent.
"This is too good of a franchise ... to go through this," Nady said. "It just gets old. It's the same thing you tell all your buddies. We have a good group of guys, we play well at times but when it comes down to it, we really struggle, and there needs to be some changes."

Hendersonville man charged with abusing infant
Published: Wednesday, March 21, 2012 at 6:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 21, 2012 at 6:00 p.m.
The Henderson County Sheriff's Office has charged a Hendersonville man with felony child abuse inflicting serious injury after a 29-day-old baby boy suffered multiple fractures and external bruising in February.
Detectives arrested Anthony Gene Taylor, 21, of 51 Bobcat Lane, Hendersonville, today on the charge, according to a news release from the Sheriff's Office. The charge stemmed from a report by Henderson County DSS and subsequent investigation by the Sheriff's Office.
Taylor is the child's father, according to Capt. Frank Stout.
Stout did not know the child's condition. He said the child's mother reported the abuse to DSS after the infant had a visit with Taylor. Stout could not comment on the couple's relationship status, but said they had "parted ways" soon after the child was born.
The child is in the custody of DSS.
Taylor was in jail for a probation violation when he was charged Wednesday, Stout said.
According to N.C. Department of Justice records, Taylor was convicted of shoplifting and larceny on July 8, 2011. Records show the shoplifting offense took place on May 7, 2011 and the larceny occurred May 12, 2011. Stout said Taylor's probation was revoked in February and he was sentenced to jail time.
Taylor is being held on $150,000 bond for the child abuse charge and is scheduled for a first appearance in court Thursday.

Blum's two-dimensional shape description method based on the symmetric axis transform (SAT) is generalized to three dimensions. The method uniquely decomposes an object into a collection of sub-objects each drawn from three separate, but not completely independent, primitive sets defined in the paper: width primitives, based on radius function properties; axis primitives, based on symmetric axis curvatures; and boundary primitives, based on boundary surface curvatures. Width primitives are themselves comprised of two components: slope districts and curvature districts. Visualizing the radius function as if it were the height function of some mountainous terrain, each slope district corresponds to a mountain face together with the valley below it. Curvature districts further partition each slope district into regions that are locally convex, concave, or saddle-like. Similarly, axis (boundary) primitives are regions of the symmetric surface where the symmetric surface (boundary surfaces) are locally convex, concave, or saddle-like. Relations among the primitive sets are discussed.

Mon Jun 11 2012 (Updated 06/13/12)Hotel Workers March on Pine Inn and La Playa for Justice in Carmel
Hotel workers, community members, and friends gathered on June 7th for the "Carmel Hotel Workers Rising March" which was organized by Unite Here! Local 483, and focused on La Playa Hotel and the Pine Inn in Carmel.
Community members have held a number of demonstrations protesting the Pine Inn's elimination of all dependents (42 people) from medical insurance coverage, as well as La Playa Hotel's refusal to commit to re-hire workers who lost their jobs when the hotel recently changed ownership. In addition, a "Summer Solstice Street Heat Rally" is planned for June 20th.
Representatives of Unite Here! Local 483, a labor union that supports hotel and restaurant workers in Monterey and Santa Cruz, has declared that Carmel is, "the center of labor conflict in the Monterey Bay hotel industry today."

Hey everyone! I took a dollar free test this AM (9 dpo) and it says results will show at 3 minutes and don't read after 10 minutes. Well at 4 minutes and 30 seconds (I'm crazy, I know) I got an extremely faint pink line... And 20 mins later it looks exactly the same.... Could this be a +?? The sensitivity on this is 25miu... I'm going to test again tomorrow with a better test but I'm going crazy waiting! Anyone else experience this???
Dollar tree test?

Yes, when I was preggers with my twins, I took SEVERAL pregnancy tests initially. I started out with First Response and I got a very dark double line. I took one more First Response, same color line. THEN, the next day I took a Dollar Tree test and I got the fainest, barely visible line ever! Of course I freaked out, and ran to the pharmacy to get another First Response and it was DARKER than the first two test. And at the time I was about 8 dpo with twinkies!
Posted 08/11/2011
I'd be careful with the Dollar Tree test. If you want valid result spend a few extra bucks and test again.

Security Issues with IBM DB2 Database
iDenfense security service reports six vulnerabilities in IBM's DB2 database.
The issues were discovered in versions 8 and 9 of IBM's DB2 database solution. The CVE IDs CVE-2007-4276, CVE-2007-4275, CVE-2007-4273, CVE-2007-4272, CVE-2007-4271 and CVE-2007-4270 have been assigned. The first vulnerability triggers a buffer overflow in the database when an attacker specifies a specially crafted string via certain environment variable (issue 4276). The attacker could gain the ability to execute arbitrary code. The second vulnerability (4275) gives attackers the ability to load or run their own binaries when entering a search key.
Another critical error (issue 4273) is cased by vulnerable setuid binaries in DB2. An attacker creating specially crafted symbolic links on the system could trick the system into following the links when creating new directories thus opening the system up to the attacker who would possess full write privileges for the new directories.
The remaining vulnerabilities are all related to faulty file and directory management and could allow attackers to gain root privileges. Details on all vulnerabilities are available from idefense. IBM has responded by releasing fixes to patch the vulnerabilities in both versions of the database (Fix for Version 8, Fix for Version 8).

[6.0] "not as bad as anyone thinks he is. Fale plays his role in the Bullet Club as an enforcer, usually doesn't get much time in the ring in Multi man matches. he has put on good matches with the excellent Main Eventers of NJPW with Nakamura, Tanahashi and Okada."
TheDreamMD wrote on 09.05.2016:
[6.0] "Those giving him bad ratings would have to also poorly rank a number of Gajin that have been draws in Japan such as Brody, Hansen, Vader, etc. While he's not that high of a level with his Psychology or work (at this point) he is definitely credible. While Fale is not the best worker, it's impossible to not give credit for his vast improvement over the past 3 years. He plays the role of a big man well and sets up very unique match ups and has great chemistry with Tanahashi, who he has had his best matches against. He continues to improve and puts in a lot of work to continue to grow within the ring, I can only see him improving over the years. He may never be a top draw, but he will provide values on cards for years to come if he stays a part of New Japan. He's already further along that Matt Bloom (Bernard), Luke Gallows (by a great deal), and again has the potential to keep growing. He does not deserve poor ratings because he isn't doing 720 Springboard Presses or three 450 Splashes per match."

[5.0] "Best-known as the enforcer for Bullet Club in NJPW, Fale certainly fits that role with his imposing stature. He has a basic "big-man" in-ring skill set, but uses it well as a tag partner or ringside enforcer, and is capable of good singles matches against high-quality opponents."
Ruiner87 wrote on 08.04.2015:
[3.0] "Fat and shit. Fale is capable of being carried to good matches by AMAZING workers, which isn't saying much. He gets gassed very quickly, and there are better big-men workers in his own stable. Just not good at all."

[4.0] "This guy is so boring and slow, I know what they're going for with the big guy for the smaller faces to overcome but he just seems to drag down all of his matches no matter who he is working with. At this point I'm wondering if he keeps getting booked just to make the others look good."
llboxing wrote on 13.02.2015:
[5.0] "Credible Tongan big man who is the bodyguard of Bullet Club. He's got a bit of a Mafia henchman gimmick. Serves a similar role to Kane of the Authority, a hired muscle who attacks the faces and protects the top heels. Resembles Adobe from the Double Dragon video games. Limited in the ring and very slow and ponderous, and his deficiencies are hidden by tag matches but over the last year or so he's been in some decent singles matches with people who can work work with him. Currently in a feud with Okada which will probably lead to a singles match between the two down the road. Mike skills are non existent but he doesn't need to talk. He should work at getting rid of his beer gut. He's never going to be a main eventer and don't expect any 5 star matches out of him but plays his role well, has an intimidating big man look and has decent power moves in his arsenal including the Bad Luck drop which is similar to Hernandez' Border Toss in TNA. He's usually booked to look very strong so beating him in a singles match can help to elevate the winner. Not the most athletic guy but he's a deceptively good seller."
daniel cassidy wrote on 28.01.2015:
[6.0] "Bad Luck Fale works well in his role as BULLET CLUB's muscle, and he can be involved in a very good match tp the point where one might praise his individual performance (NJC14 final against Nakamura; a proceeding Six-Man tag on the road to Wrestling Dontaku). However, the downside is that these instances are few and far between, falling somewhere before or after bland "big-man" wrestling and one-trick-pony-ism. Not the most excellent of the modern New Japan elitism, but far from an inadequate member of the world's best pro-wrestling roster."

2) Where has this data gone? I can't find it anywhere.
Thank you in advance!

Joy of Kosher: Fast, Fresh Family Recipes (Hardcover)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
I was "the bride who knew nothing" . . .
And now I love sharing the joy of kosher cooking with people like me: Busy parents who want to make real food for real families in a snap, and people who want to entertain without slaving in the kitchen, knowing their dishes will always elicit oohs and aahs. Our Sabbath and holiday meals are warm, fun, and flowing with food, family, and tons of guests. Do the math: two weekly Shabbos meals + 26 holiday banquets = 130 feasts per year, not to mention feeding my hungry family every other day of the week. That plus a full-time job should qualify me as some kind of expert in fast, fresh family dinners
Here in Joy of Kosher I share more than 100 of my absolute best recipes and give each a creative twist: Dress It Up--add some bling for your party table--or Dress It Down and lure your picky eaters to meals they'll beg for again and again. That's more than 200 recipes
A few of my faves: Crystal Clear Chicken Soup with Julienned Vegetables and Angel Hair (Dress It Down: Chicken Noodle Alphabet Soup) Garlic Honey Brisket (Dress It Down: Honey Brisket Pita Pockets) Miso-Glazed Salmon (Dress It Up: Avocado-Stuffed Miso-Glazed Salmon) Butternut Squash Mac 'n' Cheese (Dress It Down: Mac 'n' Cheese Muffin Cups) Gooey Chocolate Cherry Cake (Dress It Up: Red Wine Chocolate Cherry Heart Cake)
And talk about challah I give you ten yummy variations, including Sun-Dried Tomato, Garlic, and Herb Braided Challah; Blueberry Apple Challah Rolls; Sea-Salted Soft Challah Pretzel Rolls; and Gooey Pecan Challah Sticky Buns. All that, plus gorgeous photos, wine pairings, time-savers, and my guide to sane, no-jitters holiday menus. I hope you love this book as much as I loved writing it for you

Bond guru Jeff Gundlach warns that risk of rising interest rates extends beyond bond markets,...
Bond guru Jeff Gundlach warns that risk of rising interest rates extends beyond bond markets, citing MLPs in particular: "People are moving away from bond investments for obvious reasons but are going into things that are like going from the frying pan into the fire. Look at MLPs: If interest rates rise, you are going to get killed on a lot of these vehicles because they have a lot of leverage and a lot of interest rate risk."
Comments (11)
As long as the MLPs are not issuing floating rate debt, the buisness models should be fine. Unit prices will come down, since their yield should be viewed in relation to treasury spreads, but thats (to me) a well known risk. The wild card here is the tax implications from selling an MLP may prevent people who have been holding for the last few years from dumping shares at the first sign on an interest rate rise, since their cost basis after the distributions could be substantially lower than their original purchase prices.

Soul mates, who found each other at a dog show in Swords outside Dublin
Minolta x 300
beards dachshounds dog shows dogs hair
Looks like a life-long friendship being forged there!
Yes! I think they eloped to Gretna after that!
LOL Is it legal there then?
I think so, as long as the blacksmith does it!
This is so totally adorable! Look at the affection on the dogs face:=} And the amazing thing is that it looks like the same bread of dog, I have, 'Terrier/Shaunezzer" They are such loving pets:=} Gorgoues capture:=}
Thank you for favouriting me Bella! LOL Yes they look totally together… the dog is a Standard Wire haired Dachshund… the humanoid is a Dubliner of the Guinness variety and related to me through drink!! ;-)
She looks so happy, lovely shot
LOl yes she does .. contented even!
LOL Indeed .. an honour .. thank you!
that is a fantastic capture – you don't see many standard wire-haired dacchies anywere! congratulations on the feature!
Thank you Gary, not so many as the smooths athough i have friends who breed and show them. I actually prefer them of all the varietys. this one was being looked after by my friend while its owner was in the ring.
we breed the mini-wires (and mini-smooths) and i have to agree, i love the wires a tad more!
I like them all but the wires have something that appeals to me. My friends in Dublin have one that lives with the Afghans .. she rules the roost!
i think the wires are the result of introducing a terrier centuries ago back in germany – they have a personality very different from the smooths and longs!
Yeah probably used for Badger and Fox hunting, going to ground, ( not into blood sports btw)
yeah, the standards were bred for badgers (hence the name 'dachs') and the minis were bred for rabbit, hare etc., fabulous dogs!
They are great dogs!
Steve – I have one of these as well!! Although she was a reject because she had a pathetic coat!! Soulmates with the Afghan though!!Px
Do you mean the one with glasses or the one with out???………..Only kiddin'lol. They are great wee dogs very easy going way with them.
Thank you Polly. Steve X

The Zanesville Appalachian Arts Project has introduced this month's First Friday featured artist.
Kiyoe Howald's artistic skills date back to middle school in Japan but it wasn't until she retired that she looked for opportunities to study art. Shortly after taking a watercolor class, she discovered Z.A.A.P. but she is always looking for more workshops and classes to further her talents.
"I started with watercolor, take classes for a couple years then I quit then I started trying this and that, if somebody has classes, I take somebody's classes," said Howard.
Her willingness to experiment has led to have a range of subjects and style, her artwork ranges from abstract to landscapes.
"I like the idea of the waterfall. I plan on continuing to do that. That's probably my favorite, the waterfall is," said Howald.
Howald's art has been accepted for exhibit at the Ohio State Fair. She has also exhibited throughout southeast and central Ohio, her work has won many awards.

Released: May 03rd, 2010
Running Time: 154 Min.
Director: Paul Thomas
Company: Vivid Entertainment Group
DVD Extras: Bonus Scenes, Fetish Menus, Still Gallery(ies), Trailer(s)
Cast: Carolyn Reese, Evan Stone, Janet Mason, Anthony Rosano, Mr. Pete, Erik Everhard, Brooke Belle, Alec Knight, Meggan Mallone
Non-sex Roles: Hanna Hilton
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Vignette
Meggan needs to get across town during rush hour to join her boyfriend for a party. Every form of transportation she tries seems to run into some sort of problem brought on by the uncontrollable fuck fever that comes over the drivers in her presence. The taxi crashes, the bus stalls, the boat sinks, the bike breaks … all in great sexy fun!
Vivid's girls are hot, and when beautiful, busty Hanna Hilton can be sexy without even having sex, well, that says something right there! She just can't get anywhere sexually without "problems" arising. Guess it's true that some girls are hotter when they're frustrated...
Even without Hilton fucking, Inertia features some great sex, thanks to Meggan Mallone. Seeing her propped up on a table, legs spread open, is enough to recommend the whole movie. She moans like crazy, she sucks a mean dick and doesn't complain even once.
The standout scene features Meggan's rendezvous-at-sea with Erik Everhard as director Paul Thomas showcases her sexiness to perfection. She's soft and sexy and ravenous when being hammered. Brooke Belle's sex scene with Evan Stone also deserves an honorable mention. She has the perfect set of tits for this type of scene as she rides Stone's cock like a racehorse.
Funny little interstitials connecting Inertia's five sex scenes and an eclectic and good-looking cast of characters make this an entertaining romp. A BTS segment highlights the extras.

Jonathan Rizzo, a graduate of Boston College High School, was stabbed to death in July 2001. His parents and two younger brothers were devastated by their loss. There the newspaper stories generally end.
But today's Boston Globe recounts how Jonathan's younger brother, Nick, is transforming grief into gift for others, taking a leave from Harvard to work in Rwanda. His mother, Mary comments:
"After Jonathan's death, I was petrified that Nick and Elliot (youngerbrother) would be bitter or angry or cynical to the world," says MaryRizzo. "But they aren't. That's what I'm most proud of, that they'vecontinued to share their hearts. They continue to believe thatkindness, compassion, and knowledge can make an important impact".

Akili Smith was there, sitting in the audience at New York's Madison Square Garden, when commissioner Paul Tagliabue made the announcement:
With the second pick in the 1999 NFL draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select quarterback Donovan McNabb, Syracuse.
Reaction from the gang of green-shirted fans standing in the balcony was immediate and unmistakable: a vitriolic mixture of boos and expletives.
"It was kind of shocking to me," Smith said last week from his home in Southern California. "I knew the numbers Donovan put up at Syracuse. I knew he was a great player, and he obviously still is a great player. Those fans wanted Ricky Williams, and they didn't know how talented Donovan McNabb was. To this day, I'm not sure that they know."

MACHIAS, Maine — Phil Roberts of Marshfield is a hardworking Down Easter who holds down several jobs to make ends meet. He's a reporter-photojournalist for the Down East Coastal Press in Cutler; a dispatcher for the Regional Communication Center in Machias; and owner of his own microbusiness, Machias Valley Imprint. He also is a volunteer firefighter.
When he is not shooting pictures or battling a blaze, 47-year-old Roberts is at his control center in Machias directing emergency calls to the proper agency.
Roberts also is an air show buff, who recently combined his love of photography with his love of planes by flying in a vintage bomber and with the famed Blue Angels.
In 1992, he attended his first show at the Brunswick Naval Air Station.
"I shot 12 rolls of film in one day," he said. "That was a slide show at that time."
He went back in 2005, 2007 and in September, and in the process, came to know some of the high-flying powers at Brunswick. In 2007, he created a Web site about air shows, and through it and his earlier acquaintances, such as Lt. Joel Castillo of BNAS, had the opportunity to fly in the vintage World War II North American B-25J bomber owned by Larry Kelley of Maryland.
Roberts and other media personnel arrived at the airfield early the morning of Sept. 5 and filled out the necessary paperwork before the crew briefed them on the flight.
The B-25, named the Panchito, is the same type of plane that Lt. Col. James Doolittle used to lead 16 aircraft on a daylight raid over Japan on April 18, 1942, Roberts said. The planes were launched from the carrier the USS Hornet.
"The original Panchito, which is named after the feisty rooster [Panchito Pistoles] in the Disney animated classic 'The Three Caballeros,' was with the 396th Squadron 41st Bomb Group, 7th Air Force flying numerous missions over southern Japan and eastern China," Roberts added. In fact, the Panchito was scheduled for a bombing mission over Japan on the day the Japanese surrendered, he said.
Today, this version of Panchito flies to help get the message of the Disabled American Veterans out to the American public.
On Sept. 5, it was just three steps through the belly hatch and Roberts found himself inside the vintage bomber. Roberts said he and another reporter sat beneath the bubble where the gun turret is housed in a space no more than 6 feet wide.
"The plane's been changed, so normally where the top gunner sits there is a bench seat underneath that gun, and that is where I and the other reporter sat. It was shoulder-to-shoulder," he said. The propellers were spinning about 12 inches from their shoulders, the bomb bay was behind them, the entry hatch at their feet, and they were strapped into harnesses. They had been instructed on what not to touch.
"Anything red, stay away from," he said with a grin.
The engines roared as soon as the pilot started them up. "It just shakes, bangs and rattles," he said of the plane.
The pilot then released the brake and Roberts was pushed back into his seat during acceleration. Soon they were airborne. His camera was working overtime, snapping pictures while they flew over the airfield several times, then landed.
An excited Roberts was back on the ground, but little did he know there was more ahead.
John James, the public relations spokesman for the base, approached him. "He said, 'Do you want to interview [one of the] Blue Angels?' Well, you know the answer to that question," Roberts said.
After the interview, Roberts learned he also was going to fly with the Blue Angels.
Roberts, along with several other people, was taken to where Fat Albert, a C-130 transport plane, was parked on the airfield. The plane that is flown by the Blue Angels out of Pensacola, Fla., is made up of an all U.S. Marine Corps crew, he said.
More releases were signed, there was another briefing, and everyone was handed airsickness bags.
More lay ahead as they were strapped in. Roberts was seated in one of the paratrooper seats, with a window nearby.
"Just waiting to go," he said.
The pilot revved up the engine. This time the acceleration slammed Roberts hard into his seat.
"It would throw you to the back of the plane if you weren't strapped in. That one could really move," he said of the C-130.
When the plane was about 10 feet off the ground, the pilot pulled back on the yoke and the plane climbed at a sharp 30-degree angle. "It presses you right back into your seat. They say it's 2 G's; I say it was a little more. At 1,000 feet he levels off which was in a matter of seconds and then you go weightless," he said.
The plane did a photo pass over the audience so airplane buffs could take pictures.
"Then we came back around at a high-speed pass which was 60 feet off the runway at 350 mph," he said.
An assault landing was next. "This is for getting into combat areas and short runways," he said. "The pilot came in at 1,500 feet, he dropped the nose to 25 degrees down to 100 feet. You go weightless the whole time. I was about 10 inches out of my chair, my lap belt holding me in place. At 100 feet, he leveled off and set down. He applied all the braking that thing has. They stopped the plane in less than 1,000 feet."
No one had to use the air-sickness bags.
The plane taxied to the parking ramp. "It is one of the few planes that can back up, and just like a car, he brought it around and backed into his parking place," he said.
Roberts put together a colorful picture book made up of his photographs about his air show experience titled "Great State of Maine Air Show 2008 — 65 Years of Aviation Excellence." The book can be obtained at blurb.com.
The next step for Roberts? To break the sound barrier someday.
For now, Roberts is one of the few who to have flown with the Blue Angels. His dream flight.

Poem Title:
LUBIN and KATE, as gossips tell, Were Lovers many a day; LUBIN the damsel lov'd so well, That folks pretend to say The silly, simple, doting Lad, Was little less than loving mad: A malady not known of late-- Among the little-loving Great! KATE liked the youth; but woman-kind Are sometimes giv'n to range. And oft, the giddy Sex, we find, (They know not why) When most they promise, soonest change, And still for conquest sigh: So 'twas with KATE; she, ever roving Was never fix'd, though always loving! STEPHEN was LUBIN'S rival; he A rustic libertine was known; And many a blushing simple She, The rogue had left,--to sigh alone! KATE cared but little for the rover, Yet she resolv'd to have her way, For STEPHEN was the village Lover, And women pant for Sov'reign sway. And he, who has been known to ruin,-- Is always sought, and always wooing. STEPHEN had long in secret sigh'd; And STEPHEN never was deny'd: Now, LUBIN was a modest swain, And therefore, treated with disdain: For, it is said, in Love and War ,-- The boldest, most successful are! Vows, were to him but fairy things Borne on capricious Fancy's wings; And promises, the Phantom's Airy Which falsehood form'd to cheat th' unwary; For still deception was his trade, And though his traffic well was known, Still, every trophy was his own Which the proud Victor, Love, display'd. In short, this STEPHEN was the bane Of ev'ry maid,--and ev'ry swain! KATE had too often play'd the fool, And now, at length, was caught; For she, who had been pleas'd to rule, Was now, poor Maiden, taught! And STEPHEN rul'd with boundless sway, The rustic tyrant of his day. LUBIN had giv'n inconstant KATE, Ten pounds , to buy her wedding geer: And now, 'tis said, tho' somewhat late, He thought his bargain rather dear. For, Lo ! The day before the pair Had fix'd, the marriage chain to wear, A GYPSY gang, a wand'ring set, In a lone wood young LUBIN met. All round him press with canting tale, And, in a jargon, well design'd To cheat the unsuspecting mind, His list'ning ears assail. Some promis'd riches; others swore He should, by women, be ador'd; And never sad, and never poor-- Live like a Squire, or Lord;-- Do what he pleas'd, and ne'er be brought To shame,--for what he did, or thought; Seduce mens wives and daughters fair, Spend wealth, while others toil'd in vain, And scoff at honesty, and swear,-- And scoff, and trick, and swear again! ONE roguish Girl, with sparkling eyes, To win the handsome LUBIN tries; She smil'd, and by her speaking glance, Enthrall'd him in a wond'ring trance; He thought her lovelier far than KATE, And wish'd that she had been his mate; For when the FANCY is on wing, VARIETY'S a dangerous thing: And PASSIONS, when they learn to stray Will seldom seldom keep the beaten way. The gypsy-girl, with speaking eyes, Observ'd her pupil's fond surprize, She begg'd that he her hand would cross, With Sixpence; and that He should know His future scene of gain and loss, His weal and woe.-- LUBIN complies. And straight he hears That he had many long, long years; That he a maid inconstant, loves, Who, to another slyly roves. That a dark man his bane will be-- "And poison his domestic hours; "While a fair woman, treach'rously-- "Will dress his brow--with thorns and flow'rs!" It happen'd, to confirm his care-- STEPHEN was dark ,--and KATE was fair! Nay more that "home his bride would bring "A little, alien, prattling thing "In just six moons!" Poor LUBIN hears All that confirms his jealous fears; Perplex'd and frantic, what to do The cheated Lover scarcely knew. He flies to KATE, and straight he tells The wonder that in magic dwells! Speaks of the Fortune-telling crew, And how all things the Vagrants knew; KATE hears: and soon determines, she Will know her future destiny. Swift to the wood she hies, tho' late To read the tablet of her Fate. The Moon its crystal beam scarce shew'd Upon the darkly shadow'd road; The hedge-row was the feasting-place Where, round a little blazing wood, The wand'ring, dingy, gabbling race, Crowded in merry mood. And now she loiter'd near the scene. Now peep'd the hazle copse between; Fearful that LUBIN might be near The story of her Fate to hear.-- She saw the feasting circle gay By the stol'n faggot's yellow light; She heard them, as in sportive play, They chear'd the sullen gloom of night. Nor was sly KATE by all unseen Peeping, the hazle copse between. And now across the thicket side A tatter'd, skulking youth she spied; He beckon'd her along, and soon, Hid safely from the prying moon, His hand with silver, thrice she crosses-- "Tell me," said she, "my gains and losses?" "You gain a fool ," the youth replies, "You lose a lover too." The false one blushes deep, and sighs, For well the truth she knew! "You gave to STEPHEN, vows; nay more "You gave him favors rare: "And LUBIN is condemn'd to share "What many others shar'd before! "A false, capricious, guilty heart, "Made up of folly, vice, and art, "Which only takes a wedded mate "To brand with shame, an husband's fate." "Hush! hush!" cried KATE, for Heav'n's sake be "As secret as the grave-- "For LUBIN means to marry me-- "And if you will not me betray, "I for your silence well will pay; "Five pounds this moment you shall have."-- "I will have TEN!" the gypsy cries-- "The fearful, trembling girl complies. But, what was her dismay, to find That LUBIN was the gypsy bold; The cunning, fortune-telling hind Who had the artful story told-- Who thus, was cur'd of jealous pain,-- "And got his TEN POUNDS back again! Thus, Fortune pays the LOVER bold! But, gentle Maids, should Fate Have any secret yet untold,-- Remember, simple KATE!

I commented on a Football piece on another website today. Always funny how Football brings out the inner child……days spent in the early and mid 1960s thinking I was Tony Dunne (I was actually quite fast), Nobby Stiles (unsurprisingly I knew how to irritate people) or Shay Brennan (I was rather debonair and elegant).
Yes I am a Manchester United fan. Always eager to declare an interest. Some people are less eager to declare an interest.
But its only Football after all.
But wasnt it Bill Shankley who said about Football……."its not a matter of Life and Death……..its more serious than that"

Ready for new technology
Jim Waters nailed it in his Jan. 18 column. We need to do everything we can to bring more jobs and the newest technology to Kentucky. AARP doesn't speak for me or my family: I am not afraid of technology or innovation.
I don't need an out-of-touch seniors group standing between me and progress.
ISSUE: Habitat's new local director
OUR VIEW: Has eye on the problem
The local Habitat for Humanity chapter enters a new era.
For the first time in its history, the local organization is financially healthy and active enough to justify and pay for a full-time executive director.
Scott Turner enters the job with a clear appreciation for its importance.
Community Winterhelp: Opportunity to support those in need
With winter in full swing, our community's most vulnerable residents can sometimes struggle to pay for essential services such as heat and electricity.
Louisville Gas and Electric Company partners year-round with nonprofit and community organizations to provide utility bill assistance and weatherization services to help those in need.
This support is even more critical during cold weather months.
ISSUE: New gun control proposals
OUR VIEW: Don't punish the law-abiding
During his news conference in the wake of the killings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, President Obama pushed hard for Congress to quickly enact new and more restrictive gun-control measures. He also signed 23 executive orders positioned as actions to keep our nation's children safe.
The General Assembly needs to redistrict. Why's it so hard?
The objective is fairness and balance, ensuring that the boundaries contain roughly the same number of voters. When completed effectively, the task will balance the number of Kentuckians served by each senator and each representative based on the 2010 Census.
THE ISSUE: Equality, acceptance campaign
OUR VIEW: Student ownership strengthens message
No one likes a bully.
It's an old expression, but a campaign at Central Hardin High School is delivering it in a new ways.
Adventure turned tragic
As I drove down my street recently and stopped at the stop sign on Ky. 1600 to begin my day, I saw two little dogs attempting to cross the road. One was a medium-size Benji-type dog and one was a Jack Russell.
Best friends out on a big adventure. You could tell by the spring in their step, it was a great morning for an adventure.
My immediate reaction was, oh no, they are going to get hit.
Perhaps this experience will seem familiar to you.
You are going through the drive-thru at a fast-food restaurant. You obviously made the choice to use the drive-thru because you were hungry and limited on time.

Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
This fine novel sets in opposition two of Thomas Hardy's most unforgettable creations: his heroine, the sensuous, free-spirited Eustacia Vye, and the solemn, majestic stretch of upland in Dorsetshire he called Egdon Heath. The famous opening reveals the haunting power of that dark, forbidding moor where proud Eustacia fervently awaits a clandestine meeting with her lover, Damon Wildeve. But Eustacia's dreams of escape are not to be realized neither Wildeve nor the returning native Clym Yeobright can bring her salvation.
Injured by forces beyond their control, Hardy's characters struggle vainly in the net of destiny. In the end, only the face of the lonely heath remains untouched by fate in this masterpiece of tragic passion, a tale that perfectly epitomizes the author's own unique and melancholy genius.
About the Author
Thomas Hardy was born in 1840 in Higher Bockhampton (Upper Bockhampton in his day), a hamlet in the parish of Stinsford to the east of Dorchester in Dorset, England, where his father Thomas (1811-1892) worked as a stonemason and local builder.
Praise For…
"This is the quality Hardy shares with the great writers...this setting behind the small action the terrific action of unfathomed nature."—D. H. Lawrence

With no end in sight to the ongoing solar trade dispute between the United States and China, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) is offering an industry compromise between the U.S. and Chinese solar industries, which could serve as the centerpiece for a fair, negotiated settlement of outstanding issues, benefit end users, and encourage the proliferation of solar energy in the United States and globally.
You are here
SEIA is the solar energy industry's go-to source for the latest coverage on solar power, including U.S. and international policy, research and polls, business and financing trends, and more. Our staff strives to support the media covering solar energy issues and guide our members on effective media outreach with clear statements, background materials, news and multimedia resources.
SEIA is committed to informing policymakers, the media, and the American public about the benefits of solar energy for today's communities, our economy, and our country.

Six Myths About Renewable Energy
Old ideas die hard. The country has been debating renewable energy for decades—how much we should support it, what place it should have in our energy policy, how big an impact it actually has.
Designing Bright Ideas: Solar Decathlon 2013
If you ask Solar Decathlon director Richard King why the average person might want to swing by the U.S. Department of Energy's biennial competition when it opens in 12 days, he answers with a question of his own:
"Where else can you see 20 houses so inspiring, side by side?"
SEIA Welcomes American Honda Motor Company as New Member
Another iconic, blue-chip automaker has joined the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA). American Honda Motor Co., Inc. is a strong advocate of renewable energy – both here in the U.S. and around the world – and is working with SEIA and others to further the deployment of solar energy in America.
Global Energy Company E.ON Joins SEIA Board of Directors
WASHINGTON, DC – As a strong supporter of solar, global energy company E.ON has become one of the newest board members at the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA). E.ON is an international provider of energy solutions and ranks as one of the world's largest investor-owned power and gas companies, as well as one of the world's leading renewable energy companies.
US Army Advances Alternative Energy
The U.S. Army is currently in the experimental phase of an alternative energy program that could make the military a little less reliant on fossil fuels. Out of the laboratory and into the field, the Army's program SAGE includes innovative technologies, such as solar panels, and other measures that are gradually being introduced to various base camps to test their efficiency limits and personnel capacities.
Clean Energy Collective Awarded 6 Xcel Energy Solar Gardens
Clean Energy Collective (CEC) has been awarded six community-owned solar gardens as part of Xcel's Solar*Rewards Community program, totaling 2.5 MW of distributed power generation. Through the new program, Clean Energy Collective will construct and maintain solar arrays, known as solar gardens, in centralized locations across the state.
As Patriots (and pro sports) go solar, will fans follow?
When New England Patriots fans returned to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., for Monday's preseason game, dreaming no doubt about another shot at the Super Bowl, they were greeted by nearly 2,600 rooftop panels pointed at the sun. The Patriots, known for their smart tactics on the field, are switching to solar power for their off-field shopping and dining complex next door to the stadium.
Jurupa Unified School District to Save More Than $34 Million with Solar and Energy Upgrades
Jurupa Unified School District and Chevron Energy Solutions today announced the completion of a 2.7 megawatt solar and energy efficiency program expected to reduce energy costs at 27 school sites and save the District more than $34 million. The project added solar photovoltaic panels mounted on parking and shade structures at nine campuses. Coupled with comprehensive energy education curriculum content, the transformative program is designed to inspire students to learn about – and experience – clean energy technologies and concepts.
CSP Gains a Foothold on US East Coast
When people think of ideal locations for concentrating solar power, they generally envision remote and dry deserts, like the Southwest. But with its Martin Solar Energy Center, Florida Power & Light (FPL) has shown that CSP can work in a humid and cloudy climate. Will that success bring more of the technology to the Southeast?

So lovely! Is it going to be available in your shop any time soon?
nice striking colour here.
I love the combination of black wire and red beads!
thank you, but the wire is brown (i know, bad photo, sorry)
i like the way the wire looks kinda like an octopus gripping it.
really cool.
really cool.
Hmmm, that's odd, I've been building a web page using just those colors...
Love the texture and just how the colors feel.
very pretty !
coral has an odd texture to it, doesn't it?

Old-Fashioned So. Georgia Cracker Salad (Extremely Easy)
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 0 mins
I noticed every cracker salad here at RZ called for fresh tomatoes so I figured ... why not ... I'll put in the recipe I was raised on. The other recipes here look good also ... this just happens to be the one I am used to and we dearly love it. It is great as a side-dish with fried chicken, great as an appy stuffed inside little cherry or grape tomatoes, and perfect as a complete lunch when stuffed inside a tomato. Haha ... DH is sitting here now eating it as a dip on top of more saltines. :)
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can whole tomatoes
- 1 sleeve saltine crackers, crushed (leave a bit chunky)
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 6 large eggs, hard-boiled, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 medium bell pepper, chopped (optional ... I love it both ways)
- salt and pepper
- Pour tomatoes (including juice) in a large boil. Using your hands, squeeze each tomatoe through your fingers (be careful you don't squirt the juice on you -- I poke each one good with my fingers gently before I commence squeezing) until they look crushed but still chunky. Yes, you can buy already crushed tomatoes but I don't like their texture -- almost like a sauce instead of crushed tomatoes.
- To the tomatoes, add remaining ingredients and stir. If appears to dry for you, add a LITTLE more mayo.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Tastes just as great either fresh made or after refrigerated.
