A side dish, FYI, does not mean pita bread and hummus, no matter how much parsley you sprinkle on top.
It's meant to be a side dish, but if you're anything like me, you'll probably find yourself eating the whole lot of it for dinner.
Raw kale can be coarse, so if you don't plan on cooking it before eating, you need to take some steps to tenderize it first. Massaging kale helps smooth out raw kale's roughness, making it the perfect crispness for a delicious salad -- or anything else you want to use it in!
Don't pass it off as just another trend -- there's a reason it won't go away.

Nebraska-Omaha beats Colorado College 5-3
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) Ryan Walters scored twice in the three-goal third period as Nebraska-Omaha rallied from a two-goal deficit to beat Colorado College 5-3 Saturday in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association.
Walters's short-handed goal tied the game 3-3 at 2:48 and his even-strength goal gave the Mavericks (14-12-6, 11-8-5) the lead for good. Jayson Megna scored into an empty net with 40 seconds left.
Megna assisted on a goal and Andrej Sustr assisted on three goals for UNO, which moved into a three-way tie with the Tigers (16-12-2, 13-10-1) and North Dakota for fourth place in the WCHA.
John Faulkner had 14 saves in the first two periods and Ryan Massa had 15 in the third for UNO. Jaden Schwartz, Alex Krushelnyski and David Civitarese scored for Colorado College.
Josh Thorimbert made 29 saves for the Tigers.
Colorado College won 4-3 on Friday.

Josesito Lopez stops Victor Ortiz in stunning upset
Josesito Lopez called it the chance of a lifetime.
Turns out it was even bigger than that.
Lopez, a late replacement in the welterweight fight, stopped former welterweight champion Victor Ortiz in a ninth round technical knockout Saturday night at Staples Center in Los Angeles, breaking Ortiz's jaw en route to a stunning upset victory.
Lopez landed a powerful left hook on Ortiz's jaw late in the ninth that looked to be the punch that did the ultimate damage, although a dazed Ortiz said he thought it happened early in the round.
Ortiz did not answer the bell for the 10th round, as the fighter said he could not close his mouth.
Ortiz outlanded Lopez overall, landing 147 punches to Lopez's 122, but Lopez outworked Ortiz in power punches, landing 110 of 203 (36%), while Ortiz connected on 99 of 221 (45%).
All three judges, Kermit Bayless, Marty Denkin and Pat Russell, had Ortiz ahead when the fight was stopped.
Lopez (30-4, 18 KOs), his face battered and bruised and his left eye nearly swollen shut after a vicious all-action fight, leaped onto the ropes flashing an ear-to-ear grin to celebrate one of the biggest upsets in recent years.
Lopez took the fight last month as a replacement for Andre Berto, who failed a doping test that ended any hopes for his rematch with Ortiz. Lopez also had a fight against Kendall Holt fall out when Holt decided against a venue change.
I told everyone I was going to shock the world," a deliriously happy Lopez said. "Today's my day. Today's my day.
"I'm excited. I had to fight the fight of my life to win. I knew I caught him every round. I might not have thrown the majority of the punches, but the ones I was throwing, I knew I was connecting."
The loss was a crushing blow for Ortiz (29-4-2). In a controversial move by his promoter, Golden Boy, Ortiz had a potentially huge super welterweight title bout set with undefeated Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez for Sept. 15 in Las Vegas, and all he had to do was win or draw. He did neither.
Alvarez, who was sitting ringside, shook his head after the stunning finish, not quite sure what he had just witnessed. Alvarez will need to find another opponent, and it likely will not be Lopez, who had moved up from 140 pounds to fight Ortiz at 147. It might be asking too much for the slender fighter to move up two weight classes.
Asked afterward if his jaw was broken, Ortiz said, "Yes, Josesito busted my jaw. But it's OK. I'll be fine. My coaches wanted me to keep going, but I couldn't close my mouth."
Indeed, Ortiz was shown spitting up blood in his corner and locker room after the fight.
"I knew he was good, I knew he was good," Ortiz said of Lopez.
Lopez went down in the fifth round after Ortiz hit him behind the head. It was not a knockdown, but Lopez had to be checked out by the ring doctor before continuing.
"It hurt," Lopez said afterward. "Was I quitting? No, I don't quit."
While Ortiz exhibited the superior power and boxing skills throughout, Lopez used a longer reach to counterpunch and connect enough with his right hand and left hook to keep the fight close.
Asked whether he would give Ortiz a rematch, Lopez said, "They got a rematch clause. Let's do it. As long as I'm ready, I'll fight anybody. I'm the Mexican Paul Williams."
That was a reference to the fighter who was recently paralyzed in a motorcycle accident, who was once considered the most avoided fighter in boxing.
Argentina's Lucas Matthysse became the first fighter to stop Mexico's Humberto Soto with a fifth-round TKO on the undercard at Staples Center.

Chick Dykeman, a member of the Evergreen Fire Protection District board for four years, has decided not to run in May 2012 when his current term expires.
"I think people need not to stay on the job forever. These kinds of positions need turnover. It's five years in May," Dykeman told the Canyon Courier last week.
He is looking forward to spending time with his 13-month-old granddaughter and helping his wife, Nancy Dykeman, in her new role when she becomes chairwoman of the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce in January.
The second annual Dam Ducky Derby in Evergreen got off to a flying start on Saturday with a dramatic aerial drop of nearly 7,000 orange bath toys into Bear Creek below the Evergreen Lake dam.
Instead of the float-and-release strategy of last year's event, organizers recruited Evergreen Fire/Rescue to do the honor of kicking off the big duck race from a bulging net suspended about 35 feet in the air over the water.
The Jeffco Planning Commission voted 6-1 Wednesday night to reject a recommendation in favor of legalizing short-term vacation-rental houses in unincorporated Jefferson County.
During the three-hour hearing, 14 parties spoke against and three people spoke in favor of the proposal, which included some moderate restrictions. Opponents included a couple of HOAs from Littleton and numerous residents of Evergreen.
A false economy
After four years as chief of Evergreen Fire/Rescue, Garry DeJong is leaving to become fire chief of the Lewiston Fire Department in Lewiston, Idaho. His last day will be Oct. 7, when his current contract ends.
Members of the Evergreen Fire Protection District board told the fire chief in June that his services were no longer needed and that they wanted to take the department in another direction, DeJong said.
The idea of hiring a district manager instead of a new fire chief was mentioned, DeJong said.
Sixteen Jeffco liquor providers were cited for providing alcohol to a minor in a recent large-scale sting operation, marking a significant increase in the percentage of stores cited over previous years.
Two of the establishments are in the Evergreen area: the Bradley station at 10800 Highway 73 and Fruit of the Vine Spirits & Wine at 19423 North Turkey Creek Road.
As part of the yearly sting operation, underage sheriff's cadets attempted to purchase beer without providing identification at 70 county businesses.
The Colorado Independent Ethics Commission voted July 22 to subpoena former county administrator Jim Moore in its investigation of former county commissioner Kevin McCasky, a decision that could bring to light information suppressed by multiple lawsuit settlements.
A program that teaches both entrepreneurship and suicide prevention to high school students will be expanding into more Colorado schools in the next three years.
The program, called the Fire Within, has been given a three-year $500,000 matching grant from the Adolph Coors Foundation. It will be introduced into as many as a dozen schools in August, about 25 along the Front Range next year and 50 schools across the state the following year, according to Sally Spencer-Thomas, executive director of the Carson J. Spencer Foundation, a nonprofit based in Genesee.
The West Metro firefighter who was cited for a misdemeanor in connection with a fire in the Soda Creek subdivision on March 21 has decided to contest the citation and is headed for a trial date in Jefferson County District Court on Sept. 26.
Joel Nathan Worley, 37, was working as a caretaker for a private property owner in the forest near the Soda Creek subdivision on March 18, three days before the fire broke out in windy weather the following Monday.
About 5 acres were scorched and about two dozen homes evacuated, but there was no structural damage.
Going to the Evergreen High School Old-Timers' Reunion is like taking a trip down Evergreen's memory lane.
The EHS alums — who graduated between 1932 and the early 1970s — have stories about what Evergreen was like decades ago, and it's hard to imagine a time without traffic lights, when Evergreen and Bergen Park were farther apart with only fields and trees in between, when it was a summer tourist destination, and when the houses were more like cabins.

Elderly couple rescued from fire in Brookfield
Brookfield - Maintenance workers with the Mandel Group rescued two people after fire broke out just before 12:30 p.m. Tuesday at a four-unit apartment building in the 1800 block of Astor Court.
"Thankfully, two of our maintenance associates were nearby and saw the smoke and actually went in and assisted two elderly people out of their unit. We're real thankful those guys were in the right place at the right time to assist," said Don Lindeman, Mandel's president of property management.
The workers are Brad Schmidt and Matthew Potts.
Mandel Group owns the building and is the managing agent for it.
The fire was brought under control about 12:40 p.m.

When the deficit-reduction supercommittee earlier Monday announced its failure to find $1.2 trillion in federal cuts, it moved the Pentagon one step closer to facing $600 billion in spending reductions over a decade. It already is implementing a $350 billion cut, and Defense brass said nearly $1 trillion in cuts would be devastating.
"The failure of the congressional supercommittee to reach an agreement on deficit reduction is a setback for the country's efforts to achieve fiscal responsibility while protecting our national security," Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said. "If Congress fails to act over the next year, the Department of Defense will face devastating, automatic, across-the-board cuts that will tear a seam in the nation's defense."
Even before the debt panel's leaders had issued a news release formally ending the group's efforts, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) issued his own, promising a bill soon to "prevent" the $600 billion in defense cuts. GOP Sens. John McCainJohn McCainA stronger NATO for a safer world Drug importation won't save dollars or lives Dem rep Charlie Crist files for divorce MORE (Ariz.) and Lindsey GrahamLindsey GrahamThe Hill's 12:30 Report Back to the future: Congress should look to past for Fintech going forward CNN to host town hall featuring John McCain, Lindsey Graham MORE (S.C.) followed shortly with a news release vowing to lead a voiding effort in the upper chamber.
Speaking from the White House briefing room, President Obama addressed such promises directly, saying he had an answer for them: "No."
Obama threatened to veto any bill Congress sends him that seeks to void the automatic Defense cuts or an equal amount of domestic spending cuts.
"I join the president in his call for Congress to avoid an easy way out of this crisis," Panetta said. "Congress cannot simply turn off the sequester mechanism, but instead must pass deficit reduction at least equal to the $1.2 trillion it was charged to pass under the Budget Control Act."
Then, the Defense secretary — a former Democratic House Budget Committee chairman — took a swipe at Congress.
"In my four decades involved with public service, I have never been more concerned about the ability of Congress to forge common-sense solutions to the nation's pressing problems," Panetta said.

I remember going there when I was a kid when my family and I were passing through the area. It was pretty fun. The trout pond was so full of trout you could stand on the bank and look in the water and it looked like the trout were piled on top of each other. The staff would clean them and cook them for you too. I hope they turn in into another amusement park and not just some retreat for wealthy business men to lay around and scratch their balls. It would be a shame. This place was a big part of a lot of peoples childhood and time spent with their kids in that area and for people like us who were passing through.

According to the Wiki article, the teenager Pruett Nance was injured by a "length of wire strung between two trees", as he rode his ATV through it. It seemed as though it had been done intentionally, and that is why the court ruled in his favor. Kind of a nasty thing to do, when the result could have easily been the death of a kid. There are better ways of warding off a trespasser.

Sad, I remember going to see it as a kid back in the 1970's when we were on a road trip through Arkansas. I had read on Wiki that Dogpatch had been up for sale on e-bay some years back without even one bid on it. Really sad. :-(

Wow, I remember going to Dogpatch USA the summer of '93. I was 7 yrs old. My grandpa took me, my brothers, and my mom there.

That same grandpa that took us, also died later that year. :( Good memories though, for sure.

Many people may have fond memories of this park, but, according to Wikipedia, after Al Capp discontinued the comic strip in 1976 and died in 1979, the park simply couldn't compete with other successful parks like Silver Dollar City due to the fact that those parks weren't based on something that had been out of print for so long.

I went to Dogpatch as a kid. It wasn't flashy, but it was different. Flashy is not always what I'm in the mood for.
Автор Almostflyin2 ( назад)
I was there a few times in the mid to late 80's. It was never "fantastic" and paled compared to the bigger parks or Silver Dollar City near Branson, But I liked it.
Shame to see its is pretty much dead.

I went there in 1971, I was 8 yrs. old. ...great memory.

I attended Dogpatch when I was a child and also took my own 2 children there the last year it was open, 1993. It makes me sad to see it abandoned like this. Hopefully they can to something with it...I have fun memories of going there!

Al Capp refused to put any rides into the park when he was in charge. That's what killed it. Kids don't want to fish all day.

Lol, we used to do that with our local park too! :D
Автор Guru Larry Gaming ( назад)
Do you think it went down partially because of Capp retiring and the no-show of a L'ill Abner cartoon show?
Автор Guru Larry Gaming ( назад)
I suppose they could re-open it as it is as a Silent Hill theme Park :D

Dogpatch opened on May 18, 1968 when I was eleven years old. The news, and my folks, had talked up the park so much that I pushed for us to get there as soon as we could, so we drove down from Warrensburg, Mo on May 25 - one week after it opened. I still have some photos and souvenirs from that trip. I don't remember us ever going again, but it was still sad to see something that everyone had so much hope for back then, end up like this.

Would just like to say my family had a fantastic time at Villa Jamaica. The property was clean and was equipped with everything we would need to feel at home plus extra i.e the pool, the view and facilities. It was conveniently placed for us to sight see and shop and was lovely and peaceful. A big thank you and hug to Marian (property manager) who ensured any questions we asked were answered promptly and a thank you to Gail for making the rental process easy and providing us with the use of her lovely home. My family including my 87 yr old mum had a memorable time and we would love to stay again. From Jackie and family.

This wonderful hidden gem is great for family getaways ! We had a great time the owners were most welcoming and the place was spotless! My daughter enjoyed the pool most and we enjoyed the view. My brothers enjoyed the fishing right off the dock. I would definitely recommend to any one! We will be back soon!

The entire stay was perfect, from the clean and welcoming house to the relaxing and beautiful views from the pool. The house met every standard in cleanliness, the kitchen was beautiful and we loved the open concept of the house which provided plenty of space for my family to feel comfortable and at house. Fishing off of the dock in the evening was very relaxing and he was even able to catch a few catfish. The gas grill was a perfect touch to allow for outside gatherings by the pool. I was very happy that the pool was fully screened in so that we didn't have to worry about mosquitos. The master suite is to die for with the HUGE walk in shower and a soaking tub for even more tranquility. Will definitely be booking this house for next years get away!

Although the weather was not the greatest, we thorougly enjoyed our stay in your beautiful house. Marion, the property manager was wonderful. She showed us around the house and when we had any questions we just texted her and she responded right away. As I said, the house is beautiful and very nicely furniished. We really liked the fact that you can sit on the pool deck and look out over the pool to a very wide canal. It is located at a spot where three canals converge so it appears that you are looking out over a lake rather than a canal. Hopefully we can stay here again.
Great family vacation

Just returned from our second two week vacation in this home and as before we couldn't have been more happy. First, the owner is so very helpful, understanding, and professional in everyway. A kind hearted person indeed. Second, the home is simply wonderful! It has amenities galore, location close to everything we love to visit, and couldn't be on a more peaceful road/canal. Perfect getaway for us which we have fallen in love with and we will continue to rent yearly! Thanks for everything Gail!

This is probably the best home away from home that we have stayed in, tastefully furnished and high end appliances for those that like to entertain or just love to cook, the open patio overlooking the water takes your breath away... Did I mention the infinity (heated) pool? its private so you never have to worry about prying eyes... we highly recommend this property for your next vacation.
Always a great choice!

We rented the place in total 6 times over a period of 4 years. The location is nothing short of outstanding. Wide canals, sun all day and beautiful sunsets. The house is clean, well equipped with everything you might need and well maintained. A TV in every room and even next to the outdoor grill. Unfortunately none in the John's (just kidding!). The neighborhood is quiet and about 6 or 7 houses up the road there is a family of cops. A little Blue Bloods in FL. The neighbors next door are exceptionally friendly and take care of the property when no one is there. The only reason we stopped renting the home was because we got ourselves a property in Bonita.

If peace and quiet is what you're looking for in a vacation home....LOOK NO MORE! This home away from home offers blissful peace and serenity. It is located in a nice quiet neighborhood, over looking a three-way canal. Fully furnished, with all the necessary amenities and extras that you cannot even think of while simply relaxing.
Beautiful, spacious home with all the ammenities!

This home is everything you see and more!!! It is immaculate with all the necessary items to make your stay worthwhile. I wish the owner would've provided more information about area attractions, places to eat, shopping, grocery stores etc. that I've experienced in former rentals. It is a distance from many area activities (beaches, good shopping, theme parks). The surrounding neighborhood is only average and you feel as if you're in a remote area!

Sleek, evanescent, shadowy, with a low-gloss platinum luster reminiscent of Wender's Wings of Desire, Kerry Conran's Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is a grand ride, full of whiz-bang gimmickry and homage to the glory days of retro-Science Fiction. An attempt to refine, fulfill, and exceed the spirit of wonder and astonishment that permeated comic books, novels, and movies like The Day the Earth Stood Still, Flash Gordon, and Metropolis.
Funny though, once you start making a list of Sky Captain's numerous visual allusions, it's hard to know where to stop — Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Star Wars, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and Veronica Voss — with its expressionist use of high relief, dusty sunlight, and columns of smoke. It's all tossed into the mix, with no attempt at concealment. And all things considered it works surprisingly well. Despite the borrowed structures of its milieu, there are no apparent seams. It has a look all its own. Many of the establishing or epiphany shots are stupendous, with a depth of field that is mesmerizing – rich, muted, elaborate backdrops you could gaze into forever.
The film opens with the arrival of enigmatic German scientist Dr. Jenkins and the invasion of flying robots in New York City. Reporter Polly Perkins (Gwyneth Paltrow) acquires some mysterious vials in a rendezvous with Dr. Jenkins and seeks out her ex-boyfriend and fighter pilot, Joe Sullivan a.k.a. Sky Captain. Joe (Jude Law) is still pissed at Polly for sabotaging his plane in an act of jealousy, but she uses blueprints as leverage to secure a "sweetheart" deal.
Equipped with souped-up flight transportation spiffier than the Mach-5, Joe and Polly set out on the trail of the nefarious Dr. Totenkopf. Along the way they are assisted by Jenkins, Joe's protégé, Dex (Giovanni Ribisi), and Captain "Franky" Cook (Angelina Jolie). Jolie is well cast, delivering the goods with wry gusto. Ribisi did not get top billing (a crime in my book) despite the fact he has more screen time than Jolie. His incredible talent often gets overlooked, because his subtlety doesn't pull him over the top. He lets the camera come to him.
A film of this sort hinges on special effects and salient impact and when Sky Captain falters — when it lapses in judgment — the problems are with these aspects. There's an air-battle scene, pretty early in the film, where Joe (with Polly tagging along) returns to New York to subdue airships that resemble birds of prey. In the midst of this harrowing struggle, Polly nags and antagonizes Joe, in an attempt to heighten an already tense event and add some comic relief. It doesn't work. Which isn't to say it couldn't.
For some reason, the rhythms are all wrong. This kind of sequence is like a symphony, balancing visual information with dialogue, sounds, music, and so on. When it doesn't hold together, the effect is discordant, queasy. Conran throws so much at us, we end up being distracted rather than consumed. Fortunately, as the film continues to unwind, he begins to find his balance.
There's a certain degree of hokiness (part and parcel of this genre), an irresistible corniness that Conran makes no apologies for, making Sky Captain that much more giddy and gleeful. The gaps in logic, ominous musical cues, flying robots, and "Mysterious Woman" (dressed like a dominatrix seal with goggles) all seem perfectly acceptable, because it's consistent with the loopy tone.
But the acting technique used by Law and Paltrow feels completely out of sync with the rest of the film. You can tell by the content the writing is funny, but there's no snap, no timing. Compare it to the work of Jennifer Jason Leigh and Tim Robbins in The Hudsucker Proxy. Or Loy And Powell in The Thin Man series. Law and Paltrow (or Conran) don't have the first clue about veiled romantic banter; they deliver it like they're doing Chekhov or Shaw. It may sound more natural, but it's inappropriate for the material.
I want to give Kerry Conran credit for the women's roles in Sky Captain. To use the current terminology, there's a lot of empowerment built into the script. You can tell he's using Paltrow's looks in an ambiguous way – she's capable without losing her "damsel" appeal. But there's something else too, the use of makeup and Paltrow's semi-crooked mouth, that make her look almost boyish. Captain (Francesca) Cook and "The Mysterious Woman" (Bai Ling) deliver an even stronger message. Cook leads an all-female squadron with aplomb and Bai Ling is menacing and formidable. In a sense Conran is re-writing the sci-fi film genre, but it seems plausible. It gibes with the visionary nature of a dream of life in the future.Powered by Sidelines

AP: Kidd to coach Bucks
NEW YORK — The Bucks and Brooklyn Nets agreed to a deal Monday allowing Jason Kidd to become Milwaukee's coach, a person with knowledge of the details said.
The Bucks then paved the way for Kidd by firing coach Larry Drew later Monday.
The Nets will receive a second-round draft pick in 2015 that was formerly their own, and another in 2019 belonging to either Milwaukee or Sacramento.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been announced.
Drew went 15-67 in his only season in Milwaukee, but there had been no indication he wouldn't be back before the Kidd situation emerged.
"Despite the challenging season, Larry always handled himself and represented the Bucks in a first-class manner," Bucks general manager John Hammond said in a statement. "Larry did the best he could in a difficult situation, especially given all of our injuries. I want to thank Larry for all of his efforts, and we wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors."
Kidd went 44-38 in his only season as Nets coach, but then sought control of the basketball operations department and was denied. The Nets gave him permission to talk to other teams about a job.
It was a stunningly quick ending to what had been Kidd's celebrated return to the franchise he twice led to the NBA Finals as a player. The Nets hired him last June as coach just weeks after he retired as a player and retired his No. 5 before a preseason game in October. Also, he bought a small portion of the team.
There was no reason to believe he wouldn't be back Thursday when he appeared at a press conference where the Nets announced plans for their new practice facility.
Milwaukee had the NBA's worst record last season at 15-67 and is under new co-owners in Marc Lasry and Wes Edens. Lasry and Kidd are friends.
The Nets could choose from a number of quality coaches who are available, including Lionel Hollins, George Karl and Mark Jackson.
They bypassed experience when they chose Kidd last summer, and the results were ugly early. Kidd removed Lawrence Frank from the bench after lobbying for the Nets to hire his former coach as his lead assistant, and then was fined $50,000 by the NBA after intentionally spilling a drink on the court to delay a game.
The Nets started 10-21 with a high-priced, high-expectations team, though regrouped to reach the second round of the playoffs. Kidd won two Eastern Conference coach of the month honors for engineering a turnaround with a small-ball lineup after center Brook Lopez was lost to a broken foot.
He departs Brooklyn now with free agency opening Tuesday and key Nets Paul Pierce and Shaun Livingston set to hit the market.
Kidd led the Nets to the 2002 and '03 NBA Finals and remained a fan favorite even after he became unhappy with the team and was traded to Dallas in 2008. But as much as ownership may have liked him, it wasn't interested in positioning Kidd above general manager Billy King and giving him the power he sought.
Lasry and Edens had said in announcing the purchase of the team in April that they would evaluate the organization.
Lasry spoke to a meeting of Milwaukee-area journalists and business leaders on June 23, before the draft, and afterward told The Associated Press that they were still in the evaluation process.
But the new ownership group had given no indication that Drew or Hammond might be in trouble after the franchise's worst season in former U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl's last year as team owner. Hammond spearheaded the NBA draft evaluation process that landed Milwaukee a potential superstar in Duke forward Jabari Parker with the second overall pick.

The Indians relied on their best defense of the year Wednesday to aid their first walk-off win of the season, a rousing 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins.
In the top of the ninth inning, third baseman Carlos Santana caught Sam Fuld's high pop-up that had drifted into the front row of the stands – contending with a fan in his face using his cap to try to catch the ball – halting the Twins two-on, two-out rally against embattled Tribe closer John Axford.
But the Indians offense had a little two-out magic of its own in the bottom of the inning.
Asdrubal Cabrera led off with a double against Twins reliever Casey Fien - a ball that likely would have been caught by a regular left fielder. However, with infielder Eduardo Escobar starting in the outfield for the first time, he misplayed Cabrera's shot, whiffing entirely as he lunged for sideways for the ball as it sailed past him.
Lonnie Chisenhall followed with a sacrifice bunt to advance Cabrera to second. With the Tribe down to its last out after Yan Gomes grounded out, Mike Aviles sent a sharp single up the middle for the game winner before being mobbed by his teammates as he reached first base.
"My first swing I was trying to hit it about 800 feet, which was kind of dumb because that's not something I can do," Aviles said. "After that swing I told myself to calm down. All we needed was a base hit and a bloop would work. Go mentally on a two-strike approach of stay-up-the-middle and see what happens. And I got a pitch I could hit up the middle."
Earlier in the game, the Indians starting rotation continued its trend of quality outings when Danny Salazar – also aided by some fine defense behind him - limited the Twins to three runs in the third game of this four-game series at Progressive Field.
"Santana was doing magic with his glove," said Salazar, which is not only a poetic observation, but also an ironic one, given that the Indians defense had been dreadful so far this season.
In a rarity, however, the usually steady bullpen couldn't do its job of stranding inherited runners. Reliever Bryan Shaw allowed two of Salazar's runners to score in the seventh on two hits in his 2/3 of an inning, tying the game 3-3.
But the team's much-maligned defense came to the its pitching staff's aid once again. Aviles made what might have been the biggest defensive play of the game – a diving, back-handed stab off the bat of Trevor Plouffe to halt the Twins rally and get Shaw out of the jam.
"It's hard to chart, but I think we took maybe five or six hits away," Francona said. "Defensively, we did a lot of good things."
Right-hander Cody Allen then did all the right things in relief of Shaw, settling down the Twins by retiring the side in order in the eighth inning – including strikeouts to set up the memorable events of the ninth inning.
"That was nice,"Francona said, "we needed that (win). We hung in there. They came back and tied it, but we didn't let them take the lead. And we're playing at home. When you get to hit last, you always feel like you have a chance."
With the game still knotted at three runs apiece, Axford emerged from the centerfield bullpen in a non-save situation, looking to shrug off his last two rough outings that had to a pair of losses after a blown save followed by a blown hold. After getting the first two outs, Axford gave up a double by Twins rookie shortstop Danny Santana, then issued a walk to Brian Dozier before Santana's web gem bailed him out of the jam.
"I tired to follow the ball," Santana said. "I (had) a chance. It happened when I caught it."
Salazar opened the game with 6 1/3 solid innings, striking out seven and issuing one walk, while benefiting from two outstanding defensive plays by Santana and a highlight-reel leaping grab atop the centerfield wall by Njyer Morgan. Morgan's one-handed grab in the third inning robbed Josmil Pinto of extra bases.
"You know, my boy T-Plush was about to come back out (from) vacation on that one," Morgan joked about his alter ego Tony Plush, whom he's kept under wraps for the most part this season. "But you know it was just a great play and I just trying to back up (Salazar), who was throwing a heck of a game."
However, with two outs, Salazar walked nine-hole hitter Pedro Florimon (batting .109), and it came back to haunt him. Florimon promptly stole second and then advanced to third on Yan Gomes' throwing error – the ninth of the season on the Tribe's catcher. Back to the top of the order, Dozier drove in Florimon with a double over the head of Brantley in left center for the first run of the game.
But the Indians loaded the bases in the bottom of the inning for Brantley, whose double drove in their first two runs to give the Indians a 2-1 lead. The Twins challenged whether Brantley was safe at the close play at second base. But after a two-minute delay, the call was upheld. In the fifth, Gomes helped make up for his earlier miscue with a leadoff home run to pad the Tribe's lead to two runs, 3-1.

Day 43 - Independence Pass & Aspen
Today we knew exactly what we wanted to do....drive Independence Pass!! Sarah and Josh had told us how awesome it was so we just had to find out for ourselves!
Independence Pass is only open in the summer so would be closed soon...if you look it up I'm sure it will show you the route but it basically takes you down through Minturn, then through Leadville (the highest city in ...
Day 40 - Exploring and $20.15 Dinner
After our first night in our new place we were enjoying just having a bed to lay in and not being in a rush to get ready.
We skyped with Darrens Nan and Granddad for a while and showed them the place then got ready to go out. The colours of the leaves are all different autumnal shades of reds, orange and yellows so we wanted to go to Vail to see them...it only took us about 10 minutes to drive there ...
At last some rest/ Un peu de repos enfin
Hello everyone,
I have finally reached the point where I can just relax around a swimming pool. I know quite silly to arrive at this but the last six weeks have been amazingly fantastic but really intense. It is nice as well to have time with my friends in Boulder.
I will not have made it without Theo as he mentionned on FB, 40 days, 10 000 miles, 25 states and al least 12 National parks.

Colorfull Colorado....
Aspen reminded me a bit of Banff, cute little ski/snowboard town with lots of hikes in the summer.
Unfortunately, I did not realize how high up Aspen is (2400m above sea level) and once we started our hike at Maroon Bells, I felt quite dizzy and tired. Turns out I must have had some sort of altitude sickness at 3000m above sea level... That happened on our hike in Santa Fe as well.. well, now I know :)
I recovered quickly and finished the hike at least...
Last Day @ Lakeview Campground, Gunnison
... of waterfalls all the way up. No pictures--we were concentrating in the road! On the way back, we took what we thought was a short cut, but it turned out to be a long cut--we did see some new country. We were glad to get back on a paved road! This afternoon we packed everything up & took our last walk here. We're loaded and ready to head out for our next stop tomorrow ...

For Sunny Leone shedding her clothes is old hat.
For India, it is taking some getting used to.
The adult movie actress having raised the bar for censorship (or lowered it, depending on which side of the argument you are on) with her song promos for 'Jism 2', has now posted pictured of her having a shower on Twitter.
Needless to say Ms Leone is wearing her birthday suit in the pics.
Whether this is another 'Jism 2' publicity stunt is not clear, but what is clear is that the heat Leone is raising is bound to spark some controversy.
Jism 2 is directed by Pooja Bhatt and also stars Arunoday Singh and Randeep Hooda.
The porn star-turned-Bollywood actress retweeted a compliment that Melissa Makeup left for her on Twitter: "#Gorgeous??, and then went on to post three more snaps, scantily clad. She is soon to be India's Most Wanted, and not neccesarily for the right reasons.

DescriptionA US National Book Award Finalist and now a major motion picture -- one of the most buzzed-about films at Sundance 2013, starring Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller. Sutter Keeley's the guy you want at your party. He'll get everyone dancing. He' ll get everyone in your parents' pool. Okay, so he's not exactly a shining academic star. He has no plans for college and will probably end up folding men's shirts for a living. Aimee's clueless. Aimee is a social disaster. Aimee needs help, and it's up to the Sutterman to show Aimee a splendiferous time and then let her go forth and prosper. But Aimee's not like other girls, and before long he's in way over his head. For the first time in his life, he has the power to make a difference in someone else's life - or ruin it forever.
