Welcome to the OpenCaching.ORG
You are looking at a very old and tired placeholder. Around 2004 a certain nameless Geocaching COMmercial site started making noise about being the legitimate represented face of Geocachers the world over and claiming almost anally tight control over cache directory entries, and do everything it could to monetize a service which was based entirely on the physical efforts of others. At the same time it was trying hard to completely stifle and eclipse alternative sites. The conclusion was clear - it was time to take back geocaching, and set up a site for Geocachers, by Geocachers, with no more interest in the subject than to facilitate an ongoing, challenging, and pretty harmless pastime without trying to lord it over the users, or to cream a commercial profit from them. Unfortunately, whilst the idea was there the subject matter expertise and the time to build and maintain a new service from the ground up simply were not. Which is why all you are seeing is a placeholder page...

Absentia - Episode 1 Walkthrough
live yes, short yes, I'm done
to be continued
cool game
boring... :(
Nice little game
Has potential
Needs to be a bit longer.
roll on part two
nice but too short and a bit too easy
Nice, but too easy to eyes honed by slogging away at the million pixel-hunt games we've had recently! Actually not sure if I finished right - climbed up and went through a window at the end and that was it?
Yes, that's all ;)
The story will continue in Part Two
interesting concept -- I like the real life images. Would have been nice if it was more than find the pieces of notes. Having to build a way to get into the building showed promise. I look forward to part 2.
For the "story" be sure to play with sound on.
I liked this game...not the typical hidden object format :) Would be really fun if all solutions weren't quite as obvious...that said..I look forward to Absentia-Episode 2!
What can I say that hasn't been said by now?
Loved it!
i liked it and found the idea very interesting and the storyline so far can't wait for next one!!

Q: When are they going to do something about the old freight depot they were attempting to preserve at the Huntsville Depot? It's become an eyesore.
A: Bruce Walker, chair of the Historic Huntsville Foundation, won't dispute the assertion that the Memphis & Charleston Freight Depot has become an eyesore. The problem is that there simply isn't money available to cure it.
"The sad fact is that there are just limits, in this day and age of economic realities, of what can be done," Walker said. "Especially when it's been damaged so much by fire."
The freight depot was built in 1856, and until 1996 it was the second-oldest continually used freight depot in the world. It was also the oldest railroad building in Alabama until it burned in 2004. After that it likely faced death by bulldozer before the Historic Huntsville Foundation stepped in.
"It was one of the few remaining antebellum freight depots in our region," Walker said. "Because of that, we knew the structure was important. The City of Huntsville and Norfolk Southern (the railroad company that owns the depot) and the Alabama Historic Commission and us wanted to do something to stabilize the structure."
Without funding, though, the priority has become to simply secure the site so that it won't be a danger to the community. Walker said the freight depot has a fence around it to protect it, and "that's a perfectly acceptable way for historic preservation to hold something while figuring out what to do with it."
Once the Historic Huntsville Foundation stepped in to preserve it soon after the fire, the expectation was that restoration would take "hundreds of thousands of dollars," Lynne Berry, the former director of the foundation, said at the time.
"This could become a very valuable piece of property," Berry said in 2004, adding that its simple structure would make conversion easy. "If I had a dream, I'd like to see it become a gallery for local artists."

Writing this blog my inspiration for entries has come from riding buses, trains and even the trolleys. Sometimes a story idea will come from just standing at a bus stop while others come from the suit wearing RTA Board members and their early morning monthly meeting.
After spending the weekend riding trains and buses all over Cleveland, I am entering this as my observation or diary entry today.
1. Brookpark Station floor tiles are destroyed and the floor is completely exposed. It sort of looks like a Tetris game board and I am shocked that no one appears to be cleaning that station on a regular basis. There are tons of salt deposits on the stairs taking riders to the upstairs train platform.
2. Last weeks snowstorm that caused gridlock downtown also grounded the Healthline fleet, however no one from RTA bothered to reprogram the electronic signs up and down Euclid Ave. Most of those signs showed that a bus was either arriving or departing.
3. The deal between "Courts of Praise" Restaurant in Louis Stokes Windemere and RTA stinks. While we are all, glad the restrooms have been made available RTA should be chipping in to buy toilet tissue and cleaning supplies at least. The restroom signs should be incorporated with signs promoting the good food in the restaurant as mentioned by the proprietors of that establishment.
By the way the food at this place is outstanding hardly what you would expect at a bus stop.
4. This whole deal of who can call RTA Transit Police is a definite mess we need some clarification. I noticed that not one of the buses or trains I was onboard had the signs talking about passengers being the eyes and ears to report events. In fact, other than the one sign either at the front door entrance or behind the drivers' seat wall, there is no mention of reporting trouble. Perhaps RTA head driver Joe Calabrese is right "Call 911."
5. Finally, I have been writing this blog for well over a year now and have been happy that the folks at the Plain Dealer continue to allow a voice for RTA Riders. I am always interested in what is going on with buses, trains and trolleys in Cleveland. FB – Jerry Strothers and of course Twitter – JerryDJ, Text or call me @ 2163244783

I know it's hard to understand that a 37-6 game was closer than it looks.
But even West Genny would admit it.
For the first 24 minutes, Central Square gave West Genesee everything it could handle. The last 24 minutes was a dominating performance by a team looking to repeat as section champs.
At the end of every season, a team looks back on its schedule and proclaims one to be the turning point. This game might not be the turning point of the season, but it was certainly the wake-up call.
After the game multiple people said that during halftime is when the team got their act together. They learned that the name on the front of its jersey didn't help with the bull's eye on the back of it. West Genesee learned tonight that winning won't be easy when everyone's gunning for you.
After the jump is post game reactions from some Wildcats.
WG Coach Joe Corley
This guy is quickly making everyone forget Steve Bush. No disrespect to Bush, who built up the program, but Coach Corley is quickly making a name for himself.
WG Quarterback Jim Marks
The senior maybe has the biggest shoes to fill in all of Section III. Marks follows up a 315 yard, 5 TD performance with 192 yards and 2 TD. Most importantly, his team is 2-0.
WG Wide Receiver Jake Fietkewicz
It's hard to find a better 1-2 punch than Fietkewicz and Joe Fazio. The senior caught 5 balls for 88 yards and a score.
WG Lineman Dave Hildman
It easy to forget about this unit when the West Genesee offense is rolling. But when the 'O' struggled to start the game off, the defensive unit held Central Square to just 6 first half points. Hildman had an interception and caused havoc in the backfield all game long.

Hi folks.
Well I guess you are considering spending big bucks and seeing what all the hype is about when it comes to the iphones. Well let me give you just a little bit of advice before you go and spend your hard earned cash. Personally I own a 16 Gig 1st generatin iphone, and I think they are worth every cent!! I havent upgraded to the 3G for several reasons. But more on that in a minute.
2 G iphones. Also 2.5G iphones. These are the first generationn iphone which was released in the USA. The have a silver and black aluminium metal back and work on any sim card except the 3G sim cards. They will work on ANY GSM sim worldwide even prepaid sim cards , as long as the iphone has been unlocked. The 2G and 2.5G iphones have a metal chassis and in my opinion are just a little bit more sturdy and a bit more forgiving than the newer 3G iphone. The absolute newest firmware...or in laymans terms it is like the software which runs the iphone, can be uploaded. So in other words...the same firmware as the 3G iphone can run the 2G iphone and the 2.5G iphones. I guess you have heard of JAILBROKEN but arent sure what it means?? Well, jailbroken doenst mean it is broken or it doesnt mean it has been to jail. Just the opposite. It has been freed to install lots of Applications , Games and Toys. There is this little program called Installer which lets you choose what other programs you would like to run on you iphone. There is also a newer installer called Cydia which is also a way of installing applications or Apps as they have become known as. You dont have to pay anyone as most of these apps are free. It is another way of installing without having to use itunes. In fact , you dont have to be connected to a computer at all. It is all done with the iphone. The 2G and the 2.5G (the last of this model sold before the 3G) can be unlocked by software. No need for turbo sim cards, or no need to have the iphone opened up and resoldered any more. That is how they used to unlock and jailbreak the iphones. Now days, there are several options on unlocking an iphone, but it is certainly best to do it with software. This is usually done at the same time as Jailbreaking the iphone. There are several programs available to unlock and jailbreak the iphone. Winpwn, ziphone, bootneuter, just to name a few. There are many modding websites now and if you google jailbreak and the number of your firmware, you will no doubt see a number of softwares available. You tube is a fantastic way to learn about the iphone. Just type in say....installing sim card....and no doubt, there will be heaps of videos already on you tube for you to watch.
The 3G iphone at present can not be unlocked , unless done by the carrier. If you purchase a 3G iphone from USA, chances are it will be locked to AT&T. If you buy an Australian and a New Zealand unlocked iphone, you are pretty well right to use any sim card, including the 3 sim card world wide. Just make sure you are buying an unlocked by the carrier iphone. ( A carrier is like Telstra or Optus or Vodaphone just to name a few) Otherwise, it will probably come with a turbo sim card. Sometimes problems arise with these turbo sim cards. Not all the functions of the iphone might not work properly. Always ask particularly of any seller if you tube works as it should.
The latest firmware to be released by Apple is 2.1 version. This has fixed a few of the bugs that were plaguing the 3G iphone, but my choice is still the 1st Generation iphone, which can also download this latest firmware.
The downfalls of the 3G iphone. Well, they have a plastic back. Either in white or in black,,,but it is still plastic and not as sturdy as the 1st generation iphone. The 3G iphone until this latest firmware had problems with battery life. They need charging a bit more often than alot of phones out there. If you battery dies completely, the iphone is a sealed unit and you can not change the battery. Apple need to do this for you. The 3G iphone is known to drop out of phone conversations and the firmware sometimes even freezes. In all, Apple have released an iphone that may be a little bit thinner to hold, but in my humble opinion, I like the 1st generation iphone better. The little button on the side which turns your ringer off and on, is prone to break. For some reason, they have made this switch of really brittle plastic, so if you have a 3G, treat it gently!
Just a point to remember. Apple itunes . If you upgrade by itunes, you will relock your iphone, and it will no longer be jailbroken. All of your apps will be removed and you will have to unlock and jailbreak your iphone again. Also, your music and videos will need to be re synced again.
Another point to remember. If by chance you need to claim on your warranty. ....DO NOT send Apple your iphone in a Jailbroken state. They will cancel your claim, make a note of your serial number and void your warranty. If you need to make a claim on Apple for some reason or another, update it to the latest firmware, and leave it locked and UN jailbroken. Then send it to Apple for repairs.
Speaking of warranty. This is a really handy website to check if your Apple iphone is still covered by Apple warranty.
Just google .....Online Service Assistant. This will bring up an Apple page.
Just type in your serial number and your country and it will tell you if you are eligble to claim on apples warranty.
The advantages of owning an apple iphone. Well, do you want to change the way your phone looks?? The choices are almost infinite. You can "Theme" your iphone to be as individual as you are. There are apps called Customize or Summerboard or even Winterboard. They are all apps to make your iphone as individual as you! Halo 3 or Louis Vitton or maybe a Vending Machine...(My favorite) ...which makes all your apps look like chockies , chips and drinks!! There are literally hundreds and hundreds of themes available for free. Or if you feel adventurous, make your own theme! There are even apps to do that.
Do you want to own a phone that is also an ipod? The iphone is a cross between a phone, an ipod and a hand held computer. You can surf the web not by wap, but by real internet. The internet pages are exactly the same as you would see them on your laptop or your home computer! Do you want to carry your favoritie music with you where you go?? No problembo. Do you want to watch videos that you have downloaded. No problembo there either. The iphone is a mixture of all these of these. Ipod, Phone and Computer!
Do you like games?? Dont be content with just having one or two games on your iphone. You can download an app called NES ...Nintendo simulator ....or SNES...Super Nintendo Simulator. And right at this very minute I have 650 NES games on my iphone. As well as a further 100 SNES games! Thats 750 games in all. I will never be bored again. That is on top of all the other app games Ive installed. That is everything from Slot machine, black jack, tetris, jewels, solitare, twister for your fingers, pool backgammon, chess, parking lot, and a few of the new 3D games. Raging thunder is a car game that you tilt your iphone left and right to steer. How kooool! Then there is Klores which is a shoot em up game. And this isnt even touching the surface of what games are available.
But guess what....Ive left the best till last!! Any musicians in the house?? Well my favorite apps are the musical ones. I dont mean the ipod type, but get this.....want to play guitar on your iphone....well you can. You can download a few different versions, but they all equate to the same thing....a guitar fret board that you can pluck and strum to. Play your wicked guitar riffs or just play chords. You can do both. Dont play guitar...no worries. There is also a piano keyboard., a drumkit, a Kanga, a Beatbox, even a cowbell. But the peace da resistance is this....its an app called BAND. And it is just that. A band in a box! It has heaps of insturments to choose from. A set of bongos. A drumkit. A piano, A rythm guitar, A lead guitar, And an audience to cheer you on to! But the absolute best is this. 12 Bar blues. It is set out like a game board shaped like a U. And each piece of this board is a note on a screaming blues guitar. Then when you have worked out your solo. Add your thumb and it plays the bass line. then add the intro and guess what....you can record everything you play. These not enough instruments for you in the app band....well, you can download about 20 different instruments including flute, synth, and a few silly ones like farts! Its my all time favorite app and you would smart to track it down if you like to make music.
Well, folks. I dont think I have forgotton much. Ive tried to show you that the iphone is worth every cent , every second searching for the right one, and most of all, your effort and time to install the apps and themes you want to make your iphone the best fit for you. I really love my 2.5G 16Gig iphone, and to tell you the truth, I dont think I will ever change to another phone again. Im hooked. And Im so hooked, that Ive decided to import the older 2G and 2.5 G iphones. I track down mint condition iphone or absolutely brand new ones, when they are available.
If anyone has any questions I would be happy to help.

The football roster on Central Michigan's official web page was updated on Monday Feb. 28th to include the names of the incoming freshman. The update also noted the departure of seven more players.
According to the official football roster, the following players, despite having eligibility left, will not be returning to play football in 2011:
OL Matt Kanitz, OL Kent King, K Paul Mudgett, LB Kevin Sweet, RB Nick St. John, Shane Torzy and DE Joe Wirth.
Lineman Matt Kanitz appeared in four games last year, but was plagued by nagging injuries during his time with the Chippewas. Kanitz was always in contention for playing time and could be considered the biggest loss among the departures.
John's Creek, Ga. linebacker Kevin Sweet was a walk-on for the Chippewas in his fourth season -- he red-shirted in 2008 and had two years of eligibility left. Sweet saw his first (and only) action last year against Toledo according to his profile on CMU athletics' home page. Sweet had been named the Defensive Scout Team Player of the Year in 2008.
RB Nick St. John transferred to Central Michigan from Iowa Western Community College in 2010. Slated to have junior eligibility this year, St. John leaves without ever seeing the field as a Chippewas.
DE Joe Wirth was a highly touted recruit in 2009 coming out of Utica Eisenhower High School, and was one of the first players to commit to Butch Jones/Dan Enos' 2010 recruiting class. Wirth red-shirted in 2010 and would of had four years of eligibility left.
K Paul Mudgett started against Hampton in 2010 but was benched after missing the majority of his field goal attempts. He had three years of eligibility left.
Lineman Kent King was seen as potential contributor in 2011 but departs CMU without ever seeing the field like Wirth and St. John.
Shane Torzy was a walk-on that contributed mostly on special teams.
CMU head coach Dan Enos has seen his fair share of turnover in his second year. Twelve players on scholarship -- eight players left in January in addition to Kanitz, Mudgett, Wirth and King -- and three assistant coaches have departed since the start of the 2011 - 2012 preseason.

Senior Design Project: It�s About Time
Three Dordt College graduates hope to leave a permanent landmark on Dordt�s campus with their senior engineering design project.
Craig Bielema (Fulton, Illinois), Ashley Prins (Foremost, Alberta), and Chris Wyenberg (Winnipeg, Mannitoba) chose to do a senior design project titled, �It�s About Time: Dordt College Clock Tower.� The trio completed a design and prototype for a landmark clock tower, to be placed in the new main entrance to campus.
One component of the project was a metal sundial and solar calendar that is now being displayed on campus. The students hope that it will keep the rest of the project in people�s minds. The clock tower component of the project will require additional funding.
�A clock tower is an effective promotional landmark on many college campuses. As a unique Christian institution, Dordt College could use a clock tower to not only strengthen its professional campus atmosphere, but also to convey a Christian message of time and its role in one�s life,� say the designers in the introduction of their final project. They have proposed Bible inscriptions on the tower�s base, and included appropriate verses in their project documentation.
The students had to design a cost-effective gearbox, controller, and microprocessor for the clock to maintain accurate time; develop the analemma brick pattern at the base of the project, which together with the clock tower shadow will serve as a solar calendar; and construct the sundial and prototypes.
Dr. Douglas De Boer was the advisor for this senior engineering design team, who said they were thankful to many other people on campus who offered help and support, including President Carl Zylstra, Arlan Nederhof, and the Dordt College maintenance department. They also noted that Link Manufacturing donated scrap material for the sundial, and Sioux Automation provided free manufacturing.

Three Dauphin County school districts were awarded more than $3 million combined through a federal grant program — but the money isn't free.
In exchange, two high schools — Central Dauphin East and Steelton-Highspire — have to agree to perform in-depth reforms over the next several years.
Both schools said they will spend three years using the state-administered money for staff and teacher development, as well as other initiatives that will support struggling students.
Of the school districts in the region that had applied for the state-administered funding, Central Dauphin was the most successful with its grant application. C.D. East is due to receive roughly one-third of the $6 million it had requested, the maximum allowed in the program. Officials said the school will target students who struggle with math and reading. They could be eligible for after-school enrichment or other programs.
Steelton-Highspire was awarded $787,000 and Harrisburg schools received $300,000.

I would like to thank the many individuals and organizations that sponsored me over the years for the Polar Plunge for Special Olympics.
All people should have the opportunity to reach their potential, and have fun at it. Special Olympics gives them that. Without sponsors and volunteers, this would not be available.
So if you have a feeling to do so, please get involved. You won't regret it.
See you next year.

As you may have read, there are eight new Michigan State Police troopers at the Flint post.
In just her second day on the job, a new trooper may have made the easiest arrest she's ever going to make.
A man went to the post earlier this week to give a DNA sample after being convicted of carrying a concealed weapon in Calhoun County. When a trooper ran the guy through the system, it was found out that he had a warrant out of 68th District Court.
So he was arrested. As he was being searched, the trooper found some marijuana on him. Troopers also found out he had a suspended license. Since he was by himself and showed up in a vehicle, police also could get him for driving on a suspended license.
It gets better.
Police searched his vehicle before towing it away. They found some more marijuana and a loaded gun. Add on another felony CCW charge, along with felon in possession of a firearm.
If you're not keeping track, the charges against the man are the warrant arrest out of 68th, possession of marijuana, driving on a suspended license, carrying a concealed weapon and felon in possession of a firearm.
And the troopers didn't even have to leave their office to make the arrest.
Caught in the act
A man was arrested last week in Flint after he got out of a vehicle and urinated in the street, according to a police report.
The officer arrested the man for urinating in public. But he didn't just get himself in trouble.
When the officer checked the other two men in the car, it was found that they had warrants and they were arrested as well.
All three men were lodged in the Flint City Lockup.
Talk about throwing your buddies under the bus.
Bad dog ... sitter
I used to dog sit for neighbors and friends when I was a kid.
The worst thing I ever did was lose the key to one of the houses I was dog sitting for. Luckily I had the dog and no one broke into the home, but I thought for sure I wasn't going to get paid, or never hired again. But the neighbor was fine when he got back (thanks, Ralph!) and I still got some cash.
There are apparently people who have done much worse.
A man who was hired to dog sit allegedly stole from the home where the dogs were.
The homeowners were gone for the weekend and gave the suspect a key so he could take care of the dogs. When the homeowners returned, they found a box containing a Social Security card and birth certificate missing, along with a Playstation 3, shoes and a 32-inch flat screen TV.
The person who made the report said the suspect has been texting her and her son that he would return the items if they give him $250.
I'm pretty sure this guy is not going to get hired ever again to dog sit.

Garrett Wilson, on the heels of the Nets re-signing Vince Carter, thinks New Jersey should now make a run at unrestricted free agent big man Jamaal Magloire.
With only youngsters Kristic, Boone and Williams assured of being on the opening day roster, Thorn's first priority should be to find a veteran big man to mentor the kiddie corps while also logging regular action. As such, the first name on Thorn's shopping list should be center (or should it be centre, since he is Canadian?) Jamaal Magloire.
The man they call Big Cat hardly moves like a cat anymore (unless that particular cat is heavily medicated and/or arthritic), but, at age 29, he still has a few good years left in his tank. The former All-Star center has slowed down some, but in more limited minutes can still be an effective low post threat and dominant rebounder, two areas that the Nets were sorely lacking in last year. Magloire's low post offensive abilities are what Nets' management should covet most as Boone and Williams are still far from polished products on the offensive end and Kristic's availability still in question due to health concerns, making Magloire a very attractive insurance policy. Even if Mikki Moore does return, Magloire and Mikki have such diverse skill sets that there is still plenty of room for both to make significant contributions.
The second most appealing part of Magloire is his price tag. Typically, centers with legit post-up games are expensive, but early on in free agency Magloire is a forgotten man. After three sub-par seasons in a row, that is understandable, but one man's trash is another man's treasure. The Big Cat's starting days are clearly behind him, but as a reserve, he should be rather effective, especially with a Hall of Fame point guard like Jason Kidd getting him his shots.
At worst, Magloire will demand the full mid-level exception. At best, he might be willing to take a lesser deal for one year in an effort to rebuild his market value after getting buried on the bench in Portland late last season.
I doubt Jamaal takes a one year deal from anyone, so the full MLE sounds about right. You're probably still overpaying, but big guys don't come cheap. Of course, the best thing for the Blazers would be if a team over the cap really wanted Jamaal for some reason, necessitating a sign and trade. Hey, it could happen!

Sherrill available tonight
If the O's get the lead, they can go to George Sherrill, who pitched 2 1/3 innings in the All-Star Game Tuesday night but needed just 25 pitches to do it. Just figured it was worth a heads-up.
37 Comments
did maggs do a rehab stint? i see he's now waiting til the 2nd pitch to swing, i'm just wondering of the hitting coaches have asked him to be a bit more patient.
a rehab stint in toledo might've helped, but i didn't hear anything about it… just wondering.
he played 1 game on monday for class A West Michigan
Brandon made me eat my words. Mmmmm, good.
Be good to see the Tigs hold 'em this inning and then tack on more next.
Geez, did we ever get away with one that inning–again!
Inge made a heckuva play there. A team has to take advantage of a play and a break like that. We actually should not be ahead in this game.
Dan,The birds baserunning has been horrendus.They ran out of 3 innings……..Kennys stuff seems like its flat or not moving as much as normal….I like seeing Marcus in the 3 hole.Wish they would keep him there or put Cab in that spot……..Good to see Shef and Brandon connect
Dolsi has his work cut out for him. These Os can hit.
Short and sweet. Guess JL didn't much like the back-to-back sliders.
Gets interesting now–Seay has had trouble with the LH bats this year.
Guess Dolsi just made theJL doghouse .Markaikus hits .351 vs. leftys and .290 vs. righties.Dont hang that curve Freddy
What's JL doing, trying to use the whole bullpen? He must have matchup stats to bakc him up, or else he's seeing something he doesn't like. The quick hook seems unusual for him, though.
Short & Sweet ..Part II.
Rodney in–I need me a Kokanee.
The Baltimore TV guys said that JL has made it clear to his team that there will be a lot of matchups and moves. If we have to compete from here on, there is no room for error. Thats why he took Seay out.
Thats the attitude we were looking for. Hope JL keeps making moves.. but good ones. It's a good idea🙂.
I don't like Sheff .. but man was he robbed .. poor guy ..
Looks like Edgar was limping out of the batters box on that DP.Sure looks to me like he`s playing hurt.
He apparently has made the right moves so far but he does go tangental sometimes. Don't want to overdo it.
Man I was shocked to see Pudge take that walk. That was a good AB.
Tough break on the Sheffiled fly.
Here we goa again–
Short & Sweet…. part III
This one is setting up the JL "formula" for Zoom in the 8th and Jones in the 9th.
I don't like the idea he is trying to force this.
That was an 82mph strike from Zumaya .. it's good that he is now changing speeds effectively
Nice play Brandon.Not many 3rd baseman make that play.Way to dig it out Cab.Sweet
I don't think if you guys are watching the game on FSN Detroit or not…but Rod and Mario are talking about "Inge putting on a show" tonight. He really is a great addition to our defense and tonight in our offense, which is great. Glad to have him back, that's for sure.
Can't believe that catch by Peyton, dang!
JL sure is switching up the relief pitchers though. This must mean he means business about this second half.
I meant… "I don't know…"
Zu has pretty good breaking pitch tonight.Let him go 2.
I didn't like the quick hooks tonight .. but JL is playing matchups .. plus the formula, as Dan said.
we don't wanna over expose the bullpen, that might be a negative down the road.
I think he will throw Jones in the 9th.
Inge made some super plays tonight–the barehand bickup was phenomenal.
Polanco is continuing to concern me.
Ar9496,No telling how many runs a year a guy like Inge prevents with his defense.Just wish management could see it too.It takes balance on a team to win consistantly.Cant do it with the lumber,alone
I agree, Bruce.
Interesting move to replace Marcus in left,while Maggs is obviously hurt,and isnt able to get anything on his throws. Ther is just no figuring JL out.
Ok, so either Edgar is hurt or JL is seeing the light on putting Ramone in as a defensive replacement in the late innings so what does Ramone do? Commits an error, that ball was smoked but that play needs to be made.
I don't know if I can handle this tonight.
Oh my, I thought that one may have been gone…..whew….for now.
Geez…that was a little rough.
Good win.
Go Tigers!
That was vintage rollercoaster, come as close to breaking as you can, but don't break.
Well,the birds gave us a gift tonight……GoBlue, I relly think Edgar is hurt.He didnt look right coming out of the box on that DP ball he hit……But we get the win, in spite of a poor start by Kenny and another scare in the 9th.Hope Shef continues to hit like tonight,Wish we`d make Brandon the 3rd baseman or try him at short.Concerned about Maggs throwing the ball.Not much on it.But,at least we got a lot of breaks that usually go against us.Maybe thats a sign of things getting better,and finally turning in our direction.Keep it rollin Tigers
It seems like Jones comes in nonchalant and lets a couple guys on and then buckles down. It'd be nice if he would come in fired up from the start. It's getting to the point where I just change the channel and come back in 5 minutes and hope for the best.
It'd also be nice if Sheff starts smoking the ball consistently. Think what this offense would look like if he put up numbers like he is capable of doing.
Let's take all 4 here and then go to KC with some confidence.
What have I been saying, defense. Inge at 3rd. Greg, I know you agree. I don't care what he hits. Oh, he hit a gamer tonight! And Sheff, don't give up. I was out with my in-laws from Traverse City tonight and listened to some of the game.
That is all for now. Go Tigers!
Interesting reading in the Detroit News today.
Hi everybody. Did the Tigers play tonight? 🙂
I'll co-sign on that hot and sticky night stuff. It's getting nasty in these parts, and even hotter and stickier tomorrow. I had the feeling it was bothering Rogers.
Well, that turned into a very entertaining game, almost too entertaining. The Orioles ran themselves right out of the game, and we picked up one. That's how it works. Outplay the other team, no matter what level that particular game is being played at.
I didn't want Rogers to pitch the 6th, but that worked out. I was flabbergasted when Leyland had them playing for the bunt with runners on 1st and 3rd with none out, but that worked out too. Better to be lucky than good. JL continues to boggle my mind.
Sheffield: a homer, almost another, and more importantly to my eyes, a walk. He looked like the guy we saw during May-July of 2007, and less like the guy in the St. Louis series, hitting the ball up the middle with success. I hope this is real this time.
Inge: I don't see how you can keep him off thirdbase. Everytime he's there, he does something to help win the game. The homer didn't hurt either. He had me ticked off with his first AB and, between him and Cab, I was bemoaning our hitting approach with men on. Well, that all worked out too.
Renteria: I think he's still hurt. That's not good, because I'm prepared to trade him at the deadline for prospects and give the job over to Santiago for the final two months.
At this point in the season, what does it hurt to put Inge at third, Guillen back at shortstop (with relief from Santiago), take the prospects in return for Edgar, and sort it all out during the offseason?
Pudge: if we really want to deal with the Marlins here, play hardball. They can have Pudge, but they have to take Willis back too. We get our pick of their litter. DD, you've got to make last winter's deals right.
Jones: mostly silence here on him? 🙂 Yeah, it drives me nuts too. Just remember, you want to hand the closer job over to Zumaya, that's cool, but you have to re-work the bullpen. Rodney needs to step up to be the setup man. Dolsi has to keep it up. And you still have to find a spot for Jones himself.
In the end, we picked up a half game on everybody before they even resumed play. Let the fun begin.
Note to Gregg, DavidTiger51:
I don't know if you'll see this here since you're leaving Friday morning, but we'll be at Camden on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. I had thought you'd be there on Saturday, but maybe not. Sounds like you'll be driving right by my house on your way.
Anyway, and if you read this, let me know if you're there on Saturday. I'm right by the Tigers' dugout, homeplate side.
WE have tickets for both Friday and Saturday. Hope to hook up with you Sat. evening. I'm a short chubby guy, and my Son towers over me . Where is your hometown?
Our Saturday Tickets are in Lower Reserved, Row 43. Good win tonight. Lynchburg boy was big on defense. Till Saturday.
Aklos, well…. you would be correct there. But as I see(and i was a pitching coach for years so I'm set in my ways too..) is that it's not so much Jones being nonchalant, if thats what it is, it's that anything but that curve of his doesn't belong in the 9th inning. Makes very little difference how many saves this guy has. He's the worst 300 saves pitcher to ever pitch in MLB, in my opinion.
He's the most hittable pitcher in baseball right now.
You hate seeing him in July?? How much more, should he be so fortunate, to pitch in October!??!!

This week, Playboy published an article called Screw The Paleo Diet: Here's To Evolved Eating. The article has caused uproar in the paleo community and has been dubbed "The worst article I've ever read on paleo" by the paleo Reddit community. The article starts out by explaining that the paleo diet often appeals to men because it's apparently more socially acceptable to boast about ripping meat off a bone than it is to suggest that you count calories. While the article alludes to a valid concern - that it's less socially acceptable for men to be concerned with health and weight loss than it is for women -, the article … [Read more...]

Ok so I have developed a slight addiction to the reality tv show Empire Girls: Adrienne & Julissa. So I'm not quite sure when exactly this first aired over here in the UK but since I discovered it on the Style Network I haven't been able to stop watching it.
The show follows the lives of Adrienne Bailon and Julissa Bermudez, two up and coming Latino stars, in New York City. I have always loved Adrienne from way back in her 3LW days.
One of the main reasons I love the show so much is that the girls, hair, makeup and style are amazing. I get so much fashion and beauty inspiration each episode. Julissa's hair and make up is always perfection and Adrienne's girly style is exactly what I like.
Buns, statement necklaces, fit and flare dresses, hot heels, bright lips and golden tans. All my favourite things in one show!
If you haven't seen Empire Girl yet and like reality tv shows (I love them!) then I definitely recommend checking it out.

Syracuse, N.Y. -- All right Syracuse, you know the drill: Starting Friday evening, Interstate 81's northbound lanes in the city will close for 10 days.
This second phase of construction on I-81 is part of a $4.9 million project to replace bridge decks over East Calthrop Avenue and East Castle Street. The closing starts at 6 p.m. Friday and ends on Monday, Aug. 19.
The closure starts at Interstate 481's exchange with I-81 and goes north to Exit 18, the Adams/Harrison streets exits. Drivers will be able to get onto I-81 headed north at Exit 18, though that on ramp will be limited to one lane, according to the New York State Department of Transportation. And beware -- many of the DOT's detours direct traffic to that narrowed on-ramp, so plan for extra travel time.
During the work, motorists should expect delays within the I-81/I-481 interchange, on northbound I-481 and westbound Interstate 690, along Adams, Harrison, Almond, Salina and State streets, on Brighton Avenue and anywhere else along the detour routes, according to DOT.
Here's more info on what's closing:
- Northbound lanes on I-81 will be closed at the I-81/I-481 interchange south of Syracuse.
- The connector ramp from southbound I-481 to northbound I-81 will be closed.
- The ramp from East Brighton Avenue to northbound I-81 will be closed.
- The northbound on-ramps from both East Calthrop Avenue and Colvin Street will be closed.
- East Castle Street will be closed to through traffic at the I-81 bridge from Aug. 9 to approximately Aug. 22.
- The left lane of southbound I-81 will be closed just south of Exit 18 (at Adams/Harrison streets) to just past East Calthrop Avenue.
- The northbound on-ramp at Almond Street will be open but reduced to one lane.
- Access to eastbound and westbound I-690 will be maintained.
Here's how to get around during the construction:
- Drivers coming into Syracuse from the south headed to points north of Syracuse can use I-481 as a bypass.
- Motorists headed north into Syracuse with stops in downtown or University Hill can follow northbound I-481 to westbound I-690. Or you can follow northbound I-481 to Exit 1 (at Brighton Ave/Rock Cut Road), turn right at the end of the ramp, turn right onto Brighton Avenue and then turn right onto Route 11 north and then onto Adams Street.
- Drivers on southbound I-481 headed north on I-81 should exit at Exit 1 (Brighton Avenue) and head north on Route 11, turn right onto Adams Street, turn left onto Almond Street and take the northbound on-ramp onto I-81.
- Drivers who usually get onto I-81 northbound at Brighton Avenue should continue north on Brighton and take Route 11 north. Then turn right onto Adams Street, then turn left onto Almond Street and take the northbound on-ramp onto I-81.
- To bypass the closed northbound on-ramps at East Calthrop Avenue and Colvin Street, continue north on Brighton Avenue. Then follow Route 11 north and turn right onto Adams Street. Then turn left onto Almond Street and use the northbound ramp onto I-81.
For up-to-date travel information, call 511 or follow the project on Twitter @NYSDOTSyracuse or on Facebook at facebook.com/NYSDOT.

Kalamazoo native Matt Clysdale is producing his second wildlife documentary in Kalamazoo.
The film, titled "When Hope Hatches" documents a nesting pair of osprey who have nested in the lot of an abandoned paper mill on Kings Highway, located adjacent to the Kalamazoo River.
Clysdale's first film, "Animals Among Us" documents the wildlife in the
primarily urban city of Kalamazoo. Most of the documentary was filmed at
Kleinstuck Preserve, located on Chevy-Chase Blvd. in Kalamazoo.
"My urban wildlife photography and video passion was first born out of living next to Kleinstuck Preserve," Clysdale said.
He began filming the osprey last year and observed the hatching of three osprey.
"Their nest is a poignant commentary on the relationship between fish-eating raptors and the contaminated Kalamazoo River," he said.
When finished, Clysdale said the documentary will premiere locally.
"[The documentary] is geared toward broadcast. It will play through PBS affiliates, primarily WGVU. Beyond that, it's intended for a local audience. If it tends to strike a chord with local audiences, we'll see about playing it elsewhere," he said.
Although the film is already in production, Clysdale needs financial assistance in order to complete it. He said the money would fund continued documentation of the ospery, pay for additional camera people and expert interviews, editing and equipment rental and a nesting camera.
"Donating to the project will help support a local documentary and project that will help tell a very important and necessary story that will tell the relationship of wildlife to the Kalamazoo River," Clysdale said. "People should donate because they have a concern and a passion for the Kalamazoo River, wilderness and the environment.
In order to raise money for the film, Clysdale has turned to a new internet phenomenon called "Kickstarter" where people can donate money to his cause.
"I'm particularly excited about Kickstarter because it makes the documentary more of a community effort, with more interest and anticipation surrounding the project," he said.
Clysdale and his supporters will host a pledge party at the Kalamazoo Nature Center on Sunday, Feb. 26 from 2 to 4 p.m. Thus far, the website has raised a little over $3,000 toward Clysdale's $25,000 goal.
Kickstarter is an all-or-nothing fundraiser, so if the goal is not met, no money is turned over to Clysdale. The fundraiser runs through March 1.
For more information or to donate to the film, visit Matt Clysdale's Kickstart page.

Raise you hand if you've been to a birthday party every weekend for the last month!
I swear, I think there are more babies born in the spring than any other time. There have been 7 babies born in the last 2 weeks just among my Facebook friends! It's nuts!
While these birthday parties are lots-o-fun, the gifts can add up. Shnook's preschool class has 25 kids, and every kid is invited to every party. That's a lot of presents. So while you're traipsing around from party to party, you might be at a loss for 3 year-old gift ideas that won't break the bank.
Once a kid turns 3, the world of toys opens up. There are many more cool toys that are labeled "3+" because there are fewer concerns about choking hazards. Of course, if you know a kid still puts stuff in his/her mouth, I'd be mindful of that when buying a gift.
Regardless, here are 10 fun and interesting presents for under $15…
Animal Bingo 1 of 10We own this version of Bingo. I love the retro colors and drawings. It was my son's favorite game for several months.
Buy on Amazon
Animal Stamp Set 2 of 10A really cute set of wooden stamps for the budding printmaker in your family.
Buy on Melissa and Doug site
Binoculars 3 of 10Yes, you can get binoculars for your toddler for less than $15!
Bird watching this summer??
Buy here
Giant Fire Truck Puzzle 4 of 10Puzzles are my go-to gift. They make puzzles in every shape and size with every kid's interest from butterflies to dump trucks.
Buy it on Amazon
Glitter Rainbow Wings 5 of 10How to instantly perk up a 3 year-old? Give her (or him) wings!
Buy on ebeanstalk.
Soft Beagle 6 of 10We own this little guy. I originally bought it for Fuzz, but he wasn't interested. However, 3-year-old Shnook adopted him. He named him Bumbush Marbles.
Buy at Ikea
A Classic Book 7 of 10You can't go wrong by buying a 3-year-old a book.
Buy it on Amazon.
Grow-A-Head Bugs 8 of 10Here's a fun green project that 3 year-olds can enjoy. Watch the bugs grow real green plant hair!
From Fat Brain Toys
Pink Dress 9 of 10Old Navy has adorable spring dresses for $15 and under!

One of the unmistakable themes throughout the New Testament is that the existence of courage in God's people would draw Him into the situation, and He would perform miracles, signs and wonders. He never seemed to miss the chance to invade a situation by saying "amen" to the bold words spoken by His people. Much of what is taught today doesn't need God to show up to reinforce. When we address things that are humanly possible, God doesn't have to confirm what can be done through human effort.
The Father longs for a people to burn with what He is saying by making prophetic decrees, declarations, confessions, and proclamations that are born in the heart of God. Those words attract Him into the environment to confirm the word spoken with signs and wonders. It's time to embrace the gift of supernatural courage.

So I finished reading the book over my vacation. Since I'm still on vacation, I will keep this short. Just a note, this is a collection of thought, not a review of the book.
I found the premise of the book to be interesting. Since my philosophical education stopped at modern philosophy, I was not familiar with postmodern philosophy. So I appreciate that Smith breaks down the "bumper sticker" readings of Jacques Derrida, Jean-François Lyotard, and Michel Foucault. I even consider this to be one of the greatest strengths of the book.
As for the chapters dealing with the different philosophers's, I really enjoyed the discussion on Derrida and Lyotard, but found myself losing interest in the discussion on Foucault. Honestly, I can't say why that was.
I also found the discussion in the final chapter (Applied Radical Orthodoxy) to be hit or miss. There were parts of this final chapter that I found myself agreeing with and there were parts that I thought were harder to get through.
Overall, I found the book to be informative. Since I had little to no exposure to postmodern philosophy in my undergraduate philosophy courses, Smith gave me some of the background on some of the influential postmodern philosophers.
I am still unsure as to what postmodernism has to offer the church. I do not believe it to be the great monster that some in conservative Christianity has made it out to be. Until this book, my only knowledge of postmodernism has come from Chris Rosebrough, an LCMS blogger/podcaster (Fighting for the Faith). I am looking forward to reading some of the other books in this series.

In one of two Jersey City stabbings this weekend, a 17-year-old girl
allegedly stabbed her 16-year-old boyfriend in the neck with a kitchen knife
during a quarrel over her plans to return home to Asbury Park, police reports
Police were called Saturday at 11:18 p.m. to Bayview Avenue in Jersey City on
the report of a stabbing. There they found a 16-year-old boy lying on a patio
table in the backyard bleeding heavily from the neck. His girlfriend — who
allegedly had just stabbed him — was holding a T-shirt to his neck trying to
stop the bleeding, reports said.
The victim was treated at Jersey City Medical Center for life threatening
injuries after a significant loss of blood, reports said.
According a witness, the dispute started after the victim refused to hand
over his girlfriend's belongings, including her wallet and cellphone, because he
did not want her to return home to Asbury Park.
The girl told the police she stabbed her boyfriend when he started grabbing
at her, breaking her necklace, reports said.
The 17-year-old girl was charged with aggravated assault, possession of
weapon for unlawful purpose, police said. She was taken to Hudson County Youth
In another incident on Bidwell Avenue at 12:22 a.m. Sunday, a 35-year-old
Crescent Avenue resident told police he was cut several times with a broken
bottle during a dispute with the daughter of his live-in girlfriend, reports
The victim was treated at Jersey City Medical Center for minor lacerations to his left forearm and face. He refused to sign a complaint, reports said.

NJ Dems To Try To Override Veto On Gay Marriage
By Angela Delli Santi
Originally printed 2/28/2013 (Issue 2109 - Between The Lines News)
Democratic leaders in the New Jersey Legislature have agreed to try to override Republican Gov. Chris Christie's gay marriage veto, and are open for the first time to putting the question to voters in November if the override attempt fails.
Assemblyman Reed Gusciora of Trenton, one of two openly gay state lawmakers, said Democratic leaders in the Senate and Assembly agreed to renew the push for marriage equality during a meeting Thursday. The strategy could include putting the question to voters in November with Christie on the ballot. The governor, who is Catholic, opposes same-sex marriage.
The November ballot already will include a question on whether the state should raise its minimum wage and is likely to have Democratic Sen. Barbara Buono, who supports both the minimum wage increase and gay marriage, at the top of the ticket facing Christie.
"This could be a perfect storm to get out the Democratic base," Gusciora said.
Christie, who vetoed the gay marriage bill a year ago, has urged lawmakers to put the question to voters.
"On this issue, I am comfortable with the people of the state of New Jersey making the decision," Christie said Tuesday in Lavallette. "If they want to put it on the ballot, put it on the ballot."
Senate President Stephen Sweeney, a Democrat who was opposed to gay marriage in 2010 but has come to regret that decision and now supports it, has previously refused to put the question to voters. He has said same-sex marriage is a civil rights issue that does not belong on the ballot. However, Sweeney and Assembly Democratic Leader Lou Greenwald recognize the difficulty of overriding Christie and have agreed to keep their options open, Gusciora said.
This displeases Troy Stevenson, who recently took over as head of Garden State Equality, the state's largest gay-rights organization. Stevenson, who worked in Maine in 2009 on the losing side of a gay marriage referendum, said the effort to win marriage equality by ballot initiative is divisive, expensive and incredibly rough on families headed by same-sex partners.
"We still believe override is the immediate goal," he said.
The Democratic-led Legislature has never been successful in overriding a Christie veto. They'd need a two-thirds majority in both the Senate and Assembly, which means some Republicans would have to be willing to cross the governor.
The effort will start in the Senate, where Sweeney will need to persuade 27 of 40 senators to support gay marriage. The Assembly would need yes votes from 54 of its 80 members.
Stevenson acknowledges that if the vote were held next week, the override would fail. But he holds out hope that an expected June ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court on the Defense of Marriage Act could bring new momentum - and votes - if the court rules as gay activists hope.
Three states approved gay marriage in ballot questions in November, with President Barack Obama at the top of the ticket - Maine, Maryland and Washington.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Ten days ago, Mike Brown wasn't even sure he wanted to return to NBA coaching.
Now he's about to become the coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.
"This is a special situation for me, and I'm extremely excited,'' Brown said during halftime of the ESPN broadcast of Game 5 of the Western finals between Dallas and Oklahoma City. "I'm here to continue to try to help this organization carve a championship path that has already been laid. I am excited to carve my own path with this team going forward.''
The former Cavaliers coach is expected to sign a four-year deal with worth about $18.25 million to succeed recently retired Phil Jackson. According to ESPN.com, there is a team option for a fourth year. If the Lakers don't pick that up, Brown is guaranteed $2.5 million.
Brown, the 2009 NBA coach of the year who was fired exactly one year ago after becoming the Cavaliers' all-time winningest coach with a 272-138 record in five seasons and an NBA Finals appearance in 2007, also was the frontrunner in Golden State. He took himself out of consideration for the Houston Rockets' coaching vacancy.
Brown, 41, has been working as an NBA analyst for ESPN and enjoying spending time in Cleveland with his wife, Carolyn, and sons, Elijah, a sophomore basketball player at St. Edward High School, and Cameron, an incoming freshman football player there.
Citing his family, Brown was hesitant to return to the rigors of NBA coaching unless he found a suitable situation that promised stability and success. Although the aging Lakers were swept from Western Conference semifinals by the Dallas Mavericks this spring, the team remains one of the league's most famous and glamorous franchises, a destination spot with a storied history and plenty of resources to guarantee success.
Even before Brown's hiring was official, former Cavs and Lakers took to Twitter to express their support for the personable coach.
After practice in Miami, LeBron James said, "The Lakers got them a great coach."
Tweeted former Cav Mo Williams, "Congrats to Mike Brown. Lakers won't be sorry for that hiring."
Tweeted former Laker great Magic Johnson, "If Mike Brown is the Lakers coach, there's a few reasons: he's a defensive coach, familiar w/the west, & has experience coaching a superstar."
In Los Angeles, Lakers star Kobe Bryant had no comment when reached by the Los Angeles Times but Brown said the two had exchanged texts. The Times reported that Bryant said earlier this month he would be comfortable with assistant coach Brian Shaw getting the job.
Indeed, Brown's hiring seemed to come as a surprise to a fan base that expected the team to promote Shaw or hire former Portland and Houston coach Rick Adelman. But the L.A. Times reported Jim Buss, the team's executive vice president of player personnel and owner Jerry Buss' son, was impressed with Brown's emphasis on defense.
That defense enabled the Cavs to compile the best record in the league in 2008-09 (66-16) and 2009-10 (61-21) but was not good enough to get the Cavs back to the NBA Finals. The Cavs were eliminated by the Boston Celtics in six games in the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, when James seemed to clash with his coach and never offered the sort of supportive words he uttered on Wednesday.
But Williams, who was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers in February, was critical of Brown's departure from the Cavs last season and supportive of his hiring.
"His departure was the biggest loss that we had outside of LeBron," Williams told the Los Angeles Times. "I thought he had his footprint on that organization and on our team. Defensively, I can't think of anyone better. I think it's a great hire. Mike Brown in my opinion is one of the top coaches in the NBA.
"With Mike Brown's mentality, with his approach to the game, he's going to be good for them. He knows how to prepare veteran teams, when he's got guys up in age and needs their rest. And at the same time, even though you are a veteran, he still coaches you. He still teaches you. With Mike I could go on and on about him. I was vocal about the departure in Cleveland because of one reason: He's a great coach."
Williams said Brown could handle the pressure that comes with such a high-profile position. He said the coach would stand up for his players, taking the heat -- or a bullet.
"Oh man. He'll take it," Williams told The Times. "Without a bulletproof vest on."
Brown will be returning to the West Coast, where he attended the University of San Diego, graduating with a degree in business. He played basketball there with current Cavaliers General Manager Chris Grant.
Ferry to Portland? Former Cavs GM Danny Ferry reportedly is a candidate to take that position in Portland. Ferry, who resigned from the Cavs last summer in part because he did not agree with the firing of Brown, is the current vice president of basketball operations in San Antonio. The Trail Blazers have had three general managers, including one interim, since the 2010 draft and five since 2003.

This review is from: EPSON Perfection V300 Photo B11B193081 4800 dpi 48bit USB Interface Flatbed Scanner
Pros: Made great scans of small black and white photos while I had the unit. The unit has been out for repair for about 6 weeks now. Another 60 to 90 days to get new repair parts.
Cons: The optical sensor was defective right out of the box. That wasn't discovered until trying to scan larger photos. Instead of returning the unit to Newegg, I took it to the local Epson repair shop (warranty repair). They replaced the optical sensor, but broke the drive mechanism. They're telling me it'll be 60 to 90 days to get new parts for the repair. The repair shop doesn't seem to have a clean room for doing their repairs. Any dust and dirt floating around may find its way inside the scanner during the repair.
Other Thoughts: Thoroughly test all the product features when it arrives. You're better off returning the unit for an exchange than having Epson repair it.
I heard that Epson has a policy that they won't give you a new unit. They'll keep repairing the existing unit, until ???

Wow. While we've been focusing lately on people falling through the ice on Oneida Lake, it seems that forest rangers in the Adirondack High Peaks have also been busy.
This is from the Adirondack Almanac Web site:
"Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has reported that Forest Rangers were busy this weekend with three more rescues from the High Peaks.
"Less than a week after Steve Mastaitis became disoriented at the summit of Marcy and spent the night in a snow cave, three additional men became lost in the High Peaks, two were forced to spend the night in the back-country and suffered frostbite."

I finally got to finish the back door of the house. I did this all in acrylics and is completely free hand. Though I have to say there is a lot to be said for lightly penciling in your items. For example, the trees, leaves and bunny, I have done lots of times and am very comfortable with. However, the squirrel and the deer, I have never done and they look slightly awkward. I still love it and am happy to share with all of you. Did you know that Folk Art by definition is art work done by people who have no art training. I guess I qualify as a Folk Artist.

Top 5 Romantic Valentine's Day Hotels: #4 Gramercy Park
Valentine's Day is coming up, and, as such, it's time to think about where you'd like to spend the day with that special someone. Whether you're enjoying a cozy night in or an adventure on the town, a night in a luxury hotel can be the perfect gift to the both of you, a chance to escape to another world where no expense will be spared in giving you the night of a lifetime. What follows is just one in a series of our favorite romantic hotels, and, we think, a great place to take him or her this February the 14th.
Gramercy, as well as being what you show me every time I'm not called out for missing a comma, is a beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of Manhattan with an artsy soul and vivid decor. In selecting hotels for this list, we tried to capture the soul of the city. Just as the Bauer Il Palazzo makes you feel Venice, Gramercy Park Hotel feels like New York. It's love and passion with attitude, the kind that stands outside your window with a boombox or fights an escaped lion for your affection. From the front door onwards, you'll be greeted with the joie de vivre of the New York well known by romantic comedies. The best food, the best art, the best wine; New York wants to be the best in the world, and the Gramercy Park will show their best effort to give you your romantic New York fantasy.
The lobby itself plays host to an art exhibit featuring the likes of Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, and Julian Schnabel, among many others. Its 184 rooms and suites are decorated in a vivid Renaissance color palette, and hand-tufted rugs, mahogany cabinets, and velvet drapery complete the extravagant scene. Big tubs and dark room are just what the doctor ordered for an intimate evening in.
If you're looking to head out, the candlelit Rose and Jade Bars downstairs are reservation only after 10pm, so you'll be guaranteed a more private experience. And if you'd prefer the more intimate feel of a private club to the edgier downstairs bars, the Gramercy Terrace 17 stories above the city combines the finest of London clubs with the vibrancy of a Viennese coffeehouse.
So if this Valentine's Day you're looking to declare your love clearly and boldly, show him or her the best of the New York nightlife. Gramercy Park is vibrant, vigorous, and passionate, and staying there would be a night you wouldn't soon forget.

WHITE PIGEON -- A company here has been awarded a grant from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to assist in clearing up large piles of used tires.
Entech Inc., in Mottville Township, will receive a $560,000 grant to purchase equipment that will allow it to increase its recycling of scrap tires.
The company now cuts whole tires into chips. With the new equipment, Entech will be able to grind the chips into "crumb rubber," which can be used in the plastic- and rubber-molding and extrusion industry, DEQ Director Steven Chester said in a press release.
Crumb rubber currently is not made in Michigan.
The grant will cover 50 percent of the cost of the new equipment.
"The grant will enable a new use for scrap tires in Michigan and a new business opportunity for the company," Chester said.

R. L. McNutt, Jr. (APL/JHU), S. C. Solomon (DTM/CIW), MESSENGER Team
Mercury holds answers to several critical questions regarding the formation and evolution of the terrestrial planets. Determining the composition of Mercury, with its anomalously high ratio of metal to silicate, will provide a unique window on the processes by which planetesimals in the primitive solar nebula accreted to form planets. Documenting the global geological history will elucidate the role of terrestrial planet size as a governor of magmatic and tectonic history. Characterizing the magnetic field and the size and state of Mercury's core will advance our understanding of the energetics and lifetimes of magnetic dynamos in solar system bodies. Determining the volatile species in Mercury's polar deposits, exosphere, and magnetosphere will provide insight into volatile inventories, sources, and sinks in the inner solar system. The MESSENGER mission to fly by and orbit Mercury will accomplish all of these key objectives. After launch by a Delta II 7925H, an Earth flyby, two flybys of Venus, and two flybys of Mercury, orbit insertion is accomplished at the third Mercury encounter. The instrument payload includes a dual imaging system for wide and narrow fields-of-view, monochrome and color imaging, and stereo; X-ray and combined gamma-ray and neutron spectrometers for surface chemical mapping; a magnetometer; a laser altimeter; a combined UV-visible and visible-near-infrared spectrometer to survey both exospheric species and surface mineralogy; and an energetic particle and plasma spectrometer to sample charged species in the magnetosphere. During the flybys of Mercury, regions unexplored by Mariner 10 will be seen for the first time, and new data will be gathered on Mercury's exosphere, magnetosphere, and surface composition. During the orbital phase of the mission, one Earth year in duration, MESSENGER will complete global mapping and the detailed characterization of the exosphere, magnetosphere, surface, and interior.

Hitting 0-60 in 3.3 seconds, the 2006 Ford GT Base is a limited edition supercar with nods to its 1960s GT40 predecessor. A mid-mounted 550-hp, 5.4-liter DOHC V8 engine and 6-speed manual transmission get 500 lb-ft of torque. The rear-wheel drive coupe features a full independent suspension, limited slip rear differential, electronic brakeforce distribution, and 4-wheel disc and ABS brakes. Dual front airbags are standard. 19-inch tires in the back and 18-inch up front help with superior road grip.
Though tiny inside, the 2006 Ford GT is well equipped with leather seating and trim for the steering wheel, consoles, and dash. Air conditioning, full power features, tilt and telescopic steering, and a new CD/MP3 player provided unexpected luxury. Intermittent wipers, foglights, and xenon headlights are both convenient and safe. The sport seats keep you secure in tight turns. A rear spoiler adds performance and a sporty appearance, as if the roof and hood striping weren't enough. Options include an updated audio system. A somewhat unfinished looking interior, tiny cargo room, and poor fuel economy are disappointments for owners, but the power and handling keep drivers happy.

You start the tour on Vršič or at Erjavčeva koča (hut) just below it.
Route Description
By a marked path (No. 465) you cross a ravine and continue to the foothills of a north wall. To this entrance to the route you can also arrive from Vršič - taking a path to the saddle between Prisojnik and Sovna glava, from where you descend by scree.
The route enters a wall by a narrow vaulted ledge. It soon turns upwards over a steep wall (hooks and pegs), after which it becomes less steep. We follow mark signs to the right and up. In several turns we gain altitude. When the route turns to the left once again we approach a typical vertical barrier.
This vertical wall is cut by a chimney, going up and to the left. The route through it is well secured, the problem is, that the rift turns diagonally and becomes too shallow to have enough place for rucksack on your shoulder. If this place was not secured, it would mean rock climbing of around 5th degree UIAA. So more or less clumsily we move up through (may be even pushing a rucksack before us) and the terrain above becomes more friendly again.
The route is now climbing towards the left over scree and rocky slopes, where early in summer we can have problems with snow (equipment!). Around the corner instead of rocks we suddenly see a piece of sky above us. We find ourselves below a big window - in this cave easily a medium size church should go. The exit through the window goes again over a vertical wall where steel ropes and pegs help us.
How surprised we can be, as the world on the other side of the mountain is so different. Warm, sunny slopes and a broad panorama over mountains above the Trenta Valley.
Exiting the window we continue by the route No. 448 which arrived over the southern slopes. On many places it is still secured with steel ropes, but now we are already used to the altitude. We gain height, the panorama is more and more broad as we approach the summit by the west ridge. From the window we reach the top in 1h 30 min, from Vršič we shall need for the tour approximately 4 hours.

Michael Bourdo, 50, of Orangeville, was arraigned Monday on four counts of possession of a controlled substance, a count of possession of a firearm by a felon and felony firearm, according to court officials.
Michigan State Police are continuing the search for the man who called, using an untraceable phone, to report that Bourdo was high on drugs and threatening to shoot up an elementary school. Investigators have determined the threats were likely groundless.
Authorities took the threat seriously enough at the time to alert schools in Barry, Allegan and Kalamazoo Counties, many of which increased security on campus.

Hornets backup guard Rasual Butler will be arraigned in Miami-Dade (Fla.) County Criminal Court on Wednesday for a felony charge of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit that resulted in his arrest last month in Miami Beach.
In addition, Butler faces a misdemeanor charge for improper exhibition of a firearm, based on court documents supplied by Miami-Dade County State Attorney's Office spokesman Ed Griffith.
During the hearing, Butler will be allowed to enter a plea before a trial date is set.
Butler, 29, was arrested June 23 after witnesses told Miami Beach police that a man holding a firearm had made threats. Based on the arrest report, when police arrived at the scene, Butler was seated in the rear seat of a sport utility vehicle. When officers asked Butler if he had any weapons, he said, "No, but my gun is in the car."
An automatic gun that was cocked with a bullet in the chamber was found behind the seat on the floor board. Butler told police he had a concealed weapon's permit but not in Florida.
A witness told police that Butler began to argue with an unnamed man as they both walked from a nightclub in Miami Beach. Witnesses said Butler removed a firearm from his waistband, cocked it and pointed it at the man. A witness said when Butler pointed the weapon, everyone ran.
Miami Beach Det. Juan Sanchez said when he advised Butler that he was under arrest, Butler told him: "I'm a professional athlete, but I didn't do anything wrong. Look, I'm not saying I didn't have the gun, but I didn't cock it back."
Following Butler's arrest, in which he posted $6,000 bail to be released from the Miami-Dade County jail, his case was turned over to the state attorney's office, which conducted its own investigation before filing formal charges.
The Hornets' only response to Butler's legal problems came last month when General Manager Jeff Bower said in a statement that the team had been in contact with Butler's representatives and it was in the process of gathering all the accurate information regarding the incident.
Since he was obtained in a trade with the Miami Heat in 2005, Butler has struggled to be an impact player off the bench for the Hornets. He averaged a career-low 4.9 points after playing in 51 games this past season. Butler's minutes were limited after he lost his spot in the rotation to rookie Julian Wright at midseason.
Butler is the first Hornets player to face a felony charge since the franchise relocated to New Orleans from Charlotte, N.C., in 2002.
If convicted, Butler could be suspended by the NBA.
Neither Butler nor his agent, Andy Miller, could be reached for comment Thursday afternoon.
