Yep, I remember this one well. Good Luck Rhonda. #7972409After a tour through the Bureau of Engraving in Washingtong DC, they have the staple gift shop. Inside they have sheets of money (that have minor flaws and cannot be distributed)on display (under glass) that you can purchase. I put my camera right on the glass and took this shot. The display lights helped so much. This is basically right out of the camera, just a few very minor adjustments.

For a point guard like Chris Paul, the NBA All-Star game is made to order.
Everywhere he looks is someone who can put the ball in the basket. If he searches underneath, there is Blake Griffin. Out on the wing is Kevin Durant.
And if Durant is taking a breather, Paul is gazing at Kobe Bryant.
"You just want to play fast," Paul said after carving up the East with 20 points and 15 assists to win the Most Valuable Player Award in the annual All-Star game on Sunday.
"I like to throw the lob. I like to see guys hit threes. When we're out on the court with all that fire power, why wouldn't you want to make passes?
"You've got KD (Durant) filling one of the lanes, you've got Blake, Kobe on the wing. There's nothing like it."
Paul led the Western Conference to a 143-138 victory, hitting seven-of-10 shots from the floor to complement his pass-first game that had the East playing catch-up all night.
LeBron James, the high-scoring Miami forward who bagged 19 points in a losing effort, called Paul's performance "unbelievable".
"He's one of the best players we have in this league," offered James. "The number one point guard. It doesn't surprise me what he did."
Dwyane Wade echoed James's sentiments on Paul, the diminutive Los Angeles Clippers guard whose per-game average of 9.6 assists ranks second in the NBA this season.
"He controlled the All-Star Game," Wade said of Paul. "He slowed it up and he controlled it coming down the stretch. Look at the Clippers. He missed a lot of time and they started to struggle a little bit.
"But when he's on the floor, they're obviously one of the best teams in the NBA. With guys like LeBron and KD, who fill up the stat sheets, he gets overlooked. But not to us players."
Durant scored 30 points for the West, hitting 13-of-24 shots, but was quick to say Paul deserved the MVP award.
"He had great passes, making steals, made big buckets," said the Oklahoma City forward and leading scorer in the NBA.
"He played a hell of a game and congratulations to him. It was a pleasure playing with him."

By God's grace our church has continued to grow, and grow quickly! As we've grown we've seen the need to implement systems of communication and administration to best serve and mobilize the people God has given us.
This is why we use Church Community Builder, or CCB. It is an online database that allows us to keep track of groups, classes, giving, and contact information all in one place. CCB is split into Midtown and Johnson County congregations.
Do I have to log on and check it all the time?
Not necessarily. We ask group leaders (those in charge of ministry teams, Gospel Community leaders, etc.) to be more involved than most, but if you simply update your contact information and never log in again, that's fine. We'll still be able to communicate with you and help you be involved in our church.
How do I join a group?
In most cases you will automatically be placed into groups when you sign up for groups, classes, or an event. For example, if you sign up for Redeemer DNA from our Register Page you will be placed into the Redeemer DNA group on CCB.
How will RedeemerKIDS Check in work?
CCB has a touchscreen system with barcodes and text message alerts.

Hi - did you ever get the driver? I have the same problem, the support sites repeatedly tell me to remove and reinstall it with the device manager, and don't listen when I tell them that it isn't there. For me, the problem started when I re-set Windows to the (supposedly) original configuration.

Downtown Victoria art gallery used as drug house: Victoria Police
A downtown Victoria art gallery and after-hours club has been shut down because its owner was supplying drugs and moonshine to teenagers, according to a months-long Victoria Police Department investigation.
Police executed a search warrant at The Loft Gallery, located at 819 Fort St., on May 22 as part of "Operation Dali," said VicPD Const. Mike Russell.
Inside, officers found pounds of marijuana, a large bag of hash, cocaine, prescription drugs and about eight litres of moonshine, a homemade liquor that can poison consumers when poorly produced.
A connected residence on Oswego Street also netted methamphetamine, ketamine and cash.
The drugs were supplying youth drug dealers who do business mostly on the corner of Douglas and View streets, Russell said.
"Certainly getting the supplier … is going to put a dent in that," he said.
Drug-trafficking charges are being recommended against a 38-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman, both of Victoria.
A 19-year-old Duncan man related to the investigation was fooled into meeting police with two pounds of marijuana and arrested as well, Russell said.
Three suspect vehicles were also seized as proceeds of crime.
"This bust is a culmination of a lot of hard work from officers … and will put a dent in downtown drug trade as well as the disorder we are working hard to end in the Douglas and View streets area," said Sgt. Wade Murray, in charge of VicPD's beat section.
The gallery owner was a tenant in the building and not in possession of either business or liquor licences, Russell said.

FreeBSD General Other questions regarding FreeBSD which do not fit in any of the categories below. |
Thread Tools | Display Modes |
a lame question about FBSD-9
Not only having a jacked up installer to take over my entire HDD, this mean FreeBSD-9 is now GNU/GPL Linux-FreeBSD, right? |
You didn't really ask a question, nothing comprehensible. Go troll elsewhere.
GNU info is not used a lot in FreeBSD anyway, it kind of sucks so no big loss.
UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things. |
About the "due to GNU code" I could only guest. That's why I said "I have a lame question". I thought it was user-land related but I was not sure but it gave me a good reason to post the link. It talks everything down-to-earth about fbsd-9. I ALWAYS post interesting links here for future reference, from day-1. I always hope others will find them to be a good read. I have nothing else to offer. You don't learn much when you work the docks 12 hours per day Anything else is begging for some sleep, mostly.
About my jack-up HDD. Just because fbsd-9 have jump-ship on true disk geometry, the GEOM that once seem like the backbone of FBSD don't mean I hate them. I just feel this is not fare and is not what should be expected out of an OS. I can't pretend all is well just to please others or FBSD. I got to say something. I'm the freaking USER and I don't have to bite or kiss-up. I don't know exactly what's wrong with fbsd-9 but I know it's not right. From my only help buddy since 2010: Quote:
Forgive me! No big deal. All is well here unless someone want to duke it out. Good to know FreeBSD is still all FreeBSD. I was kind of worried, like I'm some kind of expert. I read and I believe everything people say about BSD and I pow-wow for that. That makes me a ... I don't know what anymore. |

The NYTimes has the complete story, but the YouTube video speaks for itself.
Officer Pogan, an all-star football player in high school, hit the cyclist as if he were a halfback running along the sidelines, and sent him flying.
Is this how the NYPD runs try-outs for their football team ?

If you can believe it, summer travel season is just about here. Whether you're going abroad or staying local, vacations are always too short, and it's nice to bring home a special memento to keep you going until the next trip. Our sneak peekers are a creative bunch. No souvenir shot glasses for this group (although I'm sure someone would find a way to make them look cool). Whether it's pillows from Istanbul, a dream catcher from the Navajo Nation or a wool blanket from England, each object found while traveling holds a special place in our hearts. — Amy Azzarito

Yes! These are the items that make a house a home and begin to tell ones story…. This is one of my favorite posts.
love these wonderful ideas – and such beautiful rooms, too!
isn't travel splendid!
and i love how simply lovely these are!here's what i did with one of my favourite travel mementos!
http://rikrakstudio.blogspot.ca/2012/01/5-minute-handwritten-memento-art-part-1.html -
So inspiring! You can have little bits of the entire world and a lifetime of memories right there in your living room…
Definitely some of the best sneak peeks! Love this collection of rooms.
Great post topic. My favorite pictures are the ones wherein the object from abroad just adds interest to the room overall, or tells a story– without taking over with an overly "ethnic" vibe. Interesting spaces!
Love this post! I love bringing "souvenirs" like this home as well. My mom traveled a lot when she was younger (she went to high school in SE Asia) and has many keepsakes from her travels around the house. I grew up hearing stories of the memories of this trips and think it's a great way to relive the special moments. One of my favorites is our "attenti al gatto" hand-painted tile we have outside the front door (brought back from Taormina, Sicily).
I love adding things from my travels to everything–even my clothes!
Absolutely love this post, my entire design aesthetic (or at least what my imagined aesthetic would be!) is a combination of practical pieces and the wonderful items I find while traveling – I want everything to have a story!
I just have to ask: how does one ship a 19th century hutch from Venice to California?
Eclectic, colorful, timeless and good humor.
To me, this is what design is all about! Love the selection of images above.
Love these rooms, I treasure all my souvenirs!
Awesome post. Much of the decor in my home has been brought back from travels and I love seeing what other people have done with their mementos. There is something so nice about having a home full of unique memories.
I love this post. love it.
Ahhhh, je t'aime.
My favorite way to decorate. Gives your rooms a special layer of meaning.
love this post. so much inspiration. i love seeing how others incorporate their travels in their own homes. one of my fave posts on design*sponge to date!
Oooh, an inspirating and (validating) story. My apartment is full of travel finds – particularly noticeable are the gorgeous rugs and fabrics from Morocco. Some 'non-visual' people say my place is full of 'clutter', some people say it's very homey. For me it's full of constant visual reminders of the places I've been far from home.
I love seeing how people display their travel treasures. That hutch from Venice is unbelievable. I'm so jealous!
Beautiful photos and a well written blog. Best wishes The LLUSTRE Team. At LLUSTRE.com
Loving the collection of vintage tins. It's great how they take an important place in the home.
The rooms just look so … organic! But that is what is beautiful about collecting, it's done over time and not all at once at a big name store. Inspiring pictures!
Great collection – I think rugs are so great as souvenirs as they often roll up fairly small. I don't need more 'nicknacks' but something like a rug is so practical and beautiful.
What an awesome reminder to surround ourselves with things of meaning. This is my method of decorating. It brings me such joy to see the glass bowl of sea shells collected on the beach while home in my landlocked state. I love using photos of our travels and dolls, masks or other finds to remind us of our adventures. The photo above of the daybed draped colorful fabric with it's exotic looking pillows drew me in. Thanks for the reminder to utilize any finds from this years travels.
loved looking at all the treasures these travelers brought home.
Beautiful. -
My favorite post! I have done a bit of traveling and have collected numerous things from each place, but have struggled with finding ways to incorporate them into our modern apartment. This definitely provided some inspiration on how I can give these little memories a proper place in my home.

January 28, 2014 2:22 PMPaul Zeise: OK welcome to the chat let's get started now. We can begin the chat talking about Duke game and looking ahead to Sunday against Virginia, which suddenly is a huge game.
Mark: Was last night just the result of matchup problems? Duke had so much size and so many great athletes.
Paul Zeise: I think Duke is better than Pitt. I don't think there is any question. Player for player they were much better to be honest. But Pitt could beat them if the Panthers did a few things better - made some layups early and defended inbounds plays better. I think Parker is a tough matchup for them but they did a good job on him in second half - the key is, you can't let the Dawkins kid get that many open looks. This was not a good game for Pitt, but Duke had a lot to do with that. The Blue Devils played a great game and they did a good job of getting the ball to their most dangerous guys.
Alexa: End of season, what do you think the Panthers will be ranked? (ballpark)
Paul Zeise: Probably right around where they are - the problem they have now is they won't have many more opportunities for big wins - in fact, they have one -- against Syracuse. Heck FSU and Virginia, two decent teams but not great teams, are the only other two teams they will play who are in the top 50 of the RPI. That's why I thought last night was an important game for Pitt - they needed a marquee win.
Mark: Agreed. I guess my point was, not many teams can assign a 6-8 player as athletic as Rodney Hood to guard a small forward (Patterson) and still be effective elsewhere. Same thing at the other end of the court. Pitt didn't handle assignments well to begin with, but maybe they were overmatched at a couple spots.
Paul Zeise: Yes, Hood was a key, his defense was huge. And his size did give Patterson fits, but again, early on they missed a few bunnies that may have changed things some because had the Panthers made them they would have had a lead and perhaps Duke would have had to play a little differently. The best teams all seem to have guys who can defend and guys who can play at a high level and Pitt has found ways to win those games in the past.
Mike: Pitt is now 0-3 against the top 50 RPI opponents, with only a few more opportunities for these quality wins (UVA, Cuse, FSU). Should we be concerned with tourney hopes/seeding?
Paul Zeise: Yes, I think so. Pitt doesn't have a lot of opportunities to get these kinds of wins. That shows the difference in the ACC and Big East - in the Big East, a loss like this wouldn't have been a big deal as Pitt would have five or six chances in their next six games to get top 50 wins. Last night would been a very nice win for the resume but the key for Pitt is this - keep winning and get to tourney.
Jake: I don't know if it is just me, but when Newkirk was in the game , we scored on a few fast breaks led by him, with some beautiful passes to Chris Jones. He was the fastest player on the court. I really would like to see them run with him in more. Duke was just on fire all night.
Paul Zeise: They have played Newkirk and Robinson together some and that is a look I like a lot, I like that smaller lineup some as I think they do become faster and push the ball a little more and in a game like this, when they can't stop the other team, they better come up with a plan to score more.
Goodee: Is Wichita State for real? They were the last team that I thought had talent that overmatched Pitt.
Paul Zeise: They sure look like it to me - they have good size, they have athleticism, really good guards and they defend the heck out of teams at times. But here is what I would say about Wichita State - who the heck have they beaten? Yeah, I know, they beat St. Louis and Alabama. And? St. Louis should have lost to Duquesne the other night for God's sakes. All I am saying is I think they are a really good team, they look the part but they haven't exactly ran through a schedule of who's who among college basketball giants.
Goodee: Is Luther a serious ACC player or just a local kid Pitt wanted to have for depth?
Paul Zeise: I think he is the most un-Jamie Dixon like player that Jamie Dixon has recruited - and that is a good thing. Luther is an excellent offensive player. He has size and he can score. Period. He can shoot it, he can drive it. Those guys have been missing from Pitt's arsenal for as long as I can remember. It will be interesting to see what position he plays. Al: Is there any chance of Artis eventually beating out Young for the starting PF job this season? The past few games, Artis just seems like the better player.
Paul Zeise: Not sure about that but right now, I'd be playing Artis more. I think he is playing better, especially on offense. But I'd also say this - Young is a better defender right now and rebounds the ball extremely hard. I know he is not scoring a lot right now and has been in a bit of a shooting slump, but Young's length and rebounding have value for this team.
Al: A little bit off topic but do you think Talib Zanna has any chance of making an NBA team? I would've said no way until this year, but he seems to have improved a lot and has a decent mix of size and athleticism.
Paul Zeise: Um, that's a tough one. He plays hard, he works hard and those are two good qualities to have. He also has improved his skill level tremendously. But he is a "tweener" - is he guarding 6-11 guys in the NBA? Is he guarding power forwards? I just don't know. I think he is a guy who will get invited to some pre-draft camps and it is there he will have to really state his case to get drafted or at least invited to a camp. He will get paid playing basketball somewhere, I'm not sure it will in NBA
Paul Zeise: Much better than they match up with Duke. Ha. The Cavaliers are a solid team, not special. They are one of these "ball control" possession teams and they will try to grind the game and play like, well, like Wisconsin. They don't have anyone as good as Parker or Hood -- they do a good job of staying within themselves and playing their game. If the scoring gets going a little, they will be in big trouble as they are a team that wins by controlling possessions (similar to Pitt in philosophy but system is different). They did nearly knock off Duke a week ago or whatever so this will be a tough game.
Paul Zeise: Thanks for participating, it is time to move on! We will do it again next week.

In an attempt to protect the public from sexual violence, the U.S. has enacted get-tough laws targeting released sex offenders. Many were inspired by high-profile cases in which children were raped and killed by strangers, a heinous albeit rare crime. Federal law now requires states to register all sex offenders online, including those committed of consensual teen sex and of public urination and indecent exposure. Dozens of states and municipalities have created buffer zones that prevent offenders from living near schools, playgrounds and parks. And about 20 states—including California, New York, Minnesota and Washington—indefinitely confine the worst offenders to mental hospitals.
Proponents contend that these laws make society safer. Opponents say they're often ineffective and violate civil liberties.
Since 2006, award-winning producers Diane Richard and Todd Melby interviewed leading experts and victims' advocates about the impact of these laws. They've also spent time getting to know four Minnesotans convicted of sex crimes, in prison and since their release. In many ways, these men represent the complexity of the issue. Their crimes span a spectrum of sexual violence. All are felons. Each completed a sex offender treatment program.
These men's stories put a candid human face on the highly politicized issue of sex crimes, the damage they cause and some of their common roots. Together, the documentary provides a nuanced examination of issues surrounding online registration laws, residency restrictions, Romeo and Juliet laws and the growing use of civil commitment.
Produced with dual narrators, "No Brother of Mine" combines audio-rich storytelling that puts the listener in the scene with expert interviews to propel the narrative forward. The result is a probing look from many different perspectives at a nation grappling with how to handle the sensational yet banal reality of sexual violence and at the struggles released offenders face in a society that no longer wants them.

Both of the Hollywood trades have published their reviews for season two of Game of Thrones and both of them love what they've seen from the first four episodes.
Brian Lowry of Variety writes:
"Thrones" creates such a rich visual feast — replete with plenty of gratuitous nudity and blood-letting — as to almost obscure its fundamental storytelling pleasures, which are as much a mob drama as anything else, having traded bullets for broadswords. By that measure, this really might the closest spiritual heir to "The Sopranos" HBO has delivered since the show's notorious whiteout.
While Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter says:
Ah, but from the fantasy realm comes a legitimate contender in HBO's Game of Thrones, which received a best drama nomination in its freshman season of 2011. The epic series, based on the collection of books from George R.R. Martin, created an amazingly ambitious worldview and supplied it with a vast array of complicated and nuanced characters. The result was a series that immediately put itself in the discussion as one of the best shows on television, a rare and lightning-fast emergence.
On April 1, Game of Thrones returns for its second season and impressively cements the reputation it earned when it burst onto the scene. The first four episodes are rich in storytelling and action and ambition — a thrilling return to brilliance.
Winter Is Coming: More glowing reviews? What else is new. But seriously, if you aren't totally hyped for season two by now, you may want to check your pulse.

A gluten free birthday party doesn't have to be labor intensive. Here are a few ideas that we used for my daughter's recent birthday.
1. We made cupcakes from a mix and decorated them with canned frosting. I really like the Betty Crocker frosting. Most varieties are gluten free and many are dairy free too. Put the frosting in a pastry bag and pipe it on your cupcakes. They will look professional and are actually so easy to make! Tip: Make sure the cupcakes are completely cooled before frosting them or your frosting will melt. We displayed our recent cupcakes on a Wilton Cupcake Stand and they looked adorable.
2. My daughter is not a fan of frosting. So the above mentioned cupcakes weren't what she wanted as her birthday treat. Instead, I made 19 cupcakes and a small 6″ cake with the remaining batter. We sprinkled powdered sugar on the cake and decorated it with some sugar cake toppers (I did have to use a little frosting to adhere the toppers to the cake). I then wrote on the plate with melted chocolate.
3. The other neat thing we did at my daughter's party was have each child make a chocolate pizza. We made these at the beginning of the party and then when it was time for cupcakes at the end of the party, the "pizzas" were hardened. Most of the kids had a few bites and then we sent them home in cute goody bags. It was a great way for them to be creative and we didn't need additional goody bags!

Bull and Bear Markets in the Twentieth Century
The major bull and bear markets of this century have suggested to many that large decade-to-decade stock market swings reflect irrational "fads and fashions" that periodically sweep investors. We argue instead that investors have perceived significant shifts in the long-run mean rate of future dividend growth. and that stock prices depend sufficiently sensitively on expectations about the underlying future growth rate that these perceived shifts would plausibly generate large swings like those of the twentieth century. We go on to document that analysts who have often been viewed as "smart money" held assessments of fundamental values based on their perceptions of future economic growth and technological progress: the judgments of these analysts, like the assessments of fundamentals we generate from simple dividend growth forecasting rules, track the major decade-to-decade swings in the market rather closely.

(This review is for Twisted by Andrew Mayne - DVD)
The Basic Effect:
6 of 6 magicians found this helpful.
A borrowed bill is signed by the spectator on both ends of one side of the bill. The bill is ripped in half. You press the ends of the bill together, and when you open them they are restored, MISMADE. Their signature is still on the bill, but the bill is twisted. You rip the bill again, fold it, snap your fingers, and it's completely restored ready to be handed back to the amazed spectator. The Remixed Bill: This is the bonus effect on the DVD. A borrowed bill is crumpled, and then ripped in half. You put the bills in your hand, and when you open your hand the bills are restored, MISMADE! You then give the spectator the mismade bill. The DVD: The DVD is very high quality. Andrew first introduces the effect. He then explains, in detail, how to make the gimmick. He then teaches the effect. Then there is an over-the-shoulder explanation. Then there is a review of pictures explaining the steps. He then performs and explains the bonus trick. There is also performances of many of Andrew's other effects. The Gimmick ~Twisted~: The gimmick for Twisted is extremely clever. It is a on time deal. Make it once, never do it again. You will, however, have to adjut the gimmick every six or seven performances. If you don't, the effect won't work. The adjustment is super simple. The gimmick does not require you to cut any bills. It's a clever gimmick that you'll be impressed with. No TT is used in this effect. The Gimmick ~The Remixed Bill~: There really is no gimmick for this. You do need to prepare a bill for each performance, however. The prepared bill is not hard to make, and won't take too long. No TT is used in this effect. The Teaching: The teaching on this DVD is excellent. You will not have any questions after you watch this DVD. Andrew goes over everything more then once, and you can follow along with him. He makes the gimmick while explaining it, and performs the effect while explaining it. You couldn't have asked for a better teacher. Practicality: These effects are extremely practicle. Twisted is better for walk-around, as the re-set is instant. The Remixed Bill isn't because you need to make a new bill every time, but you never lose money doing so. The Remixed Bill is better if you really want to impress someone, like a potential client. Giving the mismade bill to them is awesome. Overall: Overall, I really like this effect. It is going to go into my restaurant routines. I encourage people to get this. I give it a 9/10.

This is a great routine with a simple gimmick that you can carry all the time in your wallet.
Anytime you have the gimmick, you can borrow a dollar, have it signed, tear it in half, restore it
the wrong way (which unfortunately the spectator cannot examine), tear it again, and restore it back
to normal. Then you can give the bill back and your clean.

It sounds great, and looks pretty close to that. There are some moments in the routine that I think could be improved upon however. I don't want to expose anything, so I won't say what it is exactly, but to me it seems like some of the actions used in the routine don't match up to what you would really do in the real-world. That's all I'm saying. You will have to do a little tweaking, in my opinion, to make this look the best it can be. The production value of the dvd is very nice, as it was shot in HD. Andrew's explanations are very clear and he takes you step-by-step as he makes the gimmick and explains the routine. One feature that I really liked was that Andrew included a special part on the dvd where he has divided the mechanics of the routine into a slideshow type thing with pictures and titles of each step. This way, you can go back to the dvd and not have to watch the whole thing again. You can just watch the short recap and it will refresh your memory easily. I was happy with my purchase and I think you will be too. Recommended.

First of all I'm going to add to the chorus of people saying that Twisted by Andrew Mayne is a very
cleverly-thought of trick and gimmick.
2 of 2 magicians found this helpful.
As the trailor shows, the trick is very visual and you can imagine the reactions of an audience who just watched you rip their signed bill in half and restore it backwards with both signatures still in plain sight. The handling is actually very easy and can be adjusted to your style so it's ideal for the street magic setting. David Blaine liked the trick and so do I. Well done Mayne.

A University of Michigan professor of art and design has died of burns he received in the crash of a seaplane in Florida in which the pilot also died.
The plane crashed Saturday on the New College of Florida campus, shortly after leaving the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport.
Authorities say 70-year-old John Ardoyno of Hayward, Wis., was killed in Saturday's crash. Sixty-three-year-old William Shaun Jackson of Ann Arbor was badly burned and died Tuesday.
The Sarasota County Fire Department says the seaplane crashed as Ardoyno tried to take off from the airport. Pearson says the plane failed to gain enough altitude.
Jackson business partner Mark Zadvinskis tells Mlive.com (http://bit.ly/13FrZ8U ) that Jackson is an avid flier and was considering buying the seaplane to fly from Ann Arbor to his Canadian cottage.

Casey McGehee hit a sharp grounder that caromed into right field off the back of reliever Gonzalez Germen's foot, allowing the winning run to score, and the Miami Marlins rallied late from a three-run deficit Monday night to beat the Mets 4-3.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a tying double in the eighth off Daisuke Matsuzaka, who failed to retire any of the five batters he faced in relief of Jonathon Niese.
Giancarlo Stanton had an RBI single and the Marlins scored another run on shortstop Omar Quintanilla's fielding error in the eighth.
Christian Yelich led off the ninth with a single off Scott Rice (0-1). He advanced to second on Ed Lucas' sacrifice. Germen intentionally walked Giancarlo Stanton before McGehee got his RBI single.
Marlins closer Steve Cishek (2-1) pitched to a scoreless ninth for the win.
The Marlins have won two in a row in their final at-bat.
Christian Yelich and Ed Lucas led off the eighth with walks. Stanton followed with an RBI single and Quintanilla let McGehee get through his legs, allowing Lucas to score. Saltalamacchia doubled to right-center to make it 3-all
Kyle Farnsworth relieved Matsuzaka and with the infield drawn in retired Jeff Baker on a grounder to second. Farnsworth walked pinch-hitter Garret Jones and struck out Adeiny Hechavarria and retired Marcel Ozuna on a grounder to third.
Niese pitched seven shutout innings and allowed five hits, struck out six and walked one. Niese has permitted one run or less in his last four starts.
Daniel Murphy and Curtis Granderson homered off Miami's Nathan Eovaldi in the first inning for 2-0 lead. Murphy's shot over the fence in right field was his first of the season and Granderson hit his third with a drive that bounced off the upper deck in right-center field.
Bobby Abreu had a sacrifice fly to left, scoring David Wright in the fourth. Wright led off the inning with a double and advanced to third on Grandeson's single.
Eovaldi scattered five hits, walked one and struck out a career-high 10 in seven innings.
Eric Young Jr. returned to the lineup and went 1 for 4 after a freakish pregame injury Sunday. Young was struck on the right cheek off a batted ball from Lucas Duda that bounced off an indoor batting cage.
Although he passed concussion tests, Young said he felt dizzy and manager Terry Collins sat him out of the series finale against the Rockies.
Marlins starter Jose Fernandez said his left thigh feels fine and he will make his next start after being struck by a one-hopper off the bat of Dee Gordon in the fifth inning of Miami's 5-4 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers Sunday. Fernandez went 4-1 with a 1.59 ERA in April, earning his first NL Pitcher of the Month award.

Wenger admits Chelsea & Man City have made life difficult for Arsenal
PUBLISHED: 12:47 13 December 2012
PA Wire/Press Association Images
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that Chelsea and Manchester City's recent progress under billionaire owners has left the Gunners playing catch up.
While big-spending Chelsea and Premier League champions City have celebrated silverware in recent seasons, Arsenal's long trophy drought has rumbled on.
Arsenal do not boast the same resources as some of their rivals, but Wenger has come under fire for his perceived reluctance to splash out big transfer fees to replace departed stars.
Pressure is high in the wake of the Gunners' shock Capital One Cup loss to lowly Bradford, but Wenger says he is always desperate to deliver results on the pitch.
"I always feel under pressure to deliver, always," he told Four Four Two.
"You can only be successful if you question yourself, because the game has become bigger and better.
"With teams like Chelsea and Man City coming in, I think we have to do what we do even better."

Obesity adds more to health care costs than smoking does, reports a study in the March Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, official publication of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM).
James P. Moriarty, MSc, and colleagues of the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., analyzed the incremental (additional) costs of smoking and obesity among more than 30,000 Mayo Clinic employees and retirees. All had continuous health insurance coverage between 2001 and 2007.
Both obesity and smoking were associated with excess costs for health care. Compared to nonsmokers, average health costs were $1,275 higher for smokers. The incremental costs associated with obesity were even higher: $1,850 more than for normal-weight individuals. For those with morbid obesity, the excess costs were up to $5,500 per year.
The additional costs associated with obesity appeared lower after adjustment for other accompanying health problems (comorbidity). "This may lead to underestimation of the true incremental costs, since obesity is a risk factor for developing chronic conditions," Moriarty and colleagues write.
Smoking and obesity place a growing strain on an already stretched healthcare system. Employers are evaluating wellness programs -- such as quit-smoking and fitness programs -- in an attempt to lower costs by reducing health risk factors.
Moriarty and coauthors conclude, "Simultaneous estimates of incremental costs of smoking and obesity show that these factors appear to act as independent multiplicative factors." Their study provides new insights into the long-term costs of obesity and smoking, showing that both risk factors lead to persistently higher health costs throughout a seven-year follow-up period.

Dining etiquette calls for you to keep your elbows off the table, place a napkin on your lap, and make unflinching eye contact with the chef throughout the meal. Set your sights on dinner with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $40 for $80 worth of Spanish and Cuban food and drinks for two
- $75 for $150 worth of Spanish and Cuban food and drinks for four or more
Diners might begin with an appetizer of meat empanadas for two ($14.99) before ordering their entrees, all of which are served with white rice, black beans, or plantains. A red snapper fillet arrives breaded in green plantains alongside jumbo shrimp and lobster sauce ($33.99), and the lechon asado roast pork ($25.99)—a customer favorite—cooks in Jack Daniel's whiskey. Click here to see the full menu.
Mario's Catalina Restaurant
It was in La Ceiba, Honduras, that Mario Flores first began associating food with family. His mother would cook for him and his siblings, and the family meals, which set the groundwork for good conversation, provided both a structure to daily life and a sense of comfort. He now hopes to emulate that same atmosphere at his own establishment, Mario's Catalina Restaurant, where he mans the kitchen.
His dishes harken back to old-world Cuba and Spain with appetizers of yucca, sides of fried plantains, and entrees of roast pork cooked in Jack Daniel's whiskey, which is a far more flavorful marinade than Jack Daniel's lukewarm water. His menu also includes "Mario's favorite:" a red snapper fillet breaded in green plantains and accompanied by lobster sauce and jumbo shrimp. Guests enjoy these dishes and a selection of wines and sangria inside the dining room, which, with its wall-to-wall paintings, softly lit lamps, shimmering chandeliers, and close tables, resembles a warm, cozy home.

Question for the Money Doctors
Question submitted on Jan 14, 2012.
can I make my grandchildern the charity in a charitable reamainder trust?Answer
In a charitable remainder trust, the income earned on the trust assets is distributed to non-charitable beneficiaries for a set period of time. Those beneficiaries could be your grandchildren. After the term of the trust expires, the remaining assets would be distributed to a charitable organization, which could not be your grandchildren.

Jennifer Garner loves to reference Kanye West's bizarre Twitter hashtag, #nodisrespecttoBenAffleck. The "Dallas Buyers Club" star joked about it when she appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on Tuesday (Oct. 29).
"Hashtag no disrespect to Ben Affleck. Hashtag all disrespect to Jimmy Kimmel. I say that all the time now [to my husband]," Garner says. "I say, 'You look crazy, hashtag no disrespect to Ben Affleck.' That's how I might greet him in the morning."
Garner looked a little crazy herself when she walked on stage, wearing a beard worthy of "Duck Dynasty" fame. She explained that it was for good luck for the Boston Red Sox, currently playing in the MLB World Series. "That's really all that's happening at my house right now. I don't know if kids are being fed, or if trick or treating is going to happen," Garner jokes. "But it's part of the deal. It's one the deals you make with devil when you're living with Ben Affleck."
Also part of the deal is dealing with Affleck's superstitions when it comes to the Red Sox. "Once you get into the playoffs, it's like, somebody made an error so I have change where I'm sitting in the house?" Garner says. "You wore this shirt yesterday, or had a hot dog at this time yesterday … It's a little bit ridiculous. But he's not kidding. It's some weird guy thing."
Garner also talked about her "Dallas Buyers Club" costars Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto's shocking weight loss for the film. "It was so upsetting. It was worse in person," Garner says. "The camera adds 10 pounds so in person it was just awful to see. The're really skinny. Everyone's saying, oh those boys lost 50 lbs for this movie. But you know how much weight I lost for this movie? 50 lbs. No one's asking me how I lost that much weight."
"Dallas Buyers Club" opens in theaters on Friday (Nov. 1).

2014 Preview: Atlanta's Most Anticipated Openings
What is there to look forward to when it comes to Atlanta dining and nightlife in 2014? So, so much. As the city continues its upward, post-recession swing, exciting things are going on both intown and in the suburbs. In the city limits, the Beltline and Edgewood streetcar are two promising influences turning derelict buildings into untapped (for now) potential. And of course, the unpredictable developments, surprises and openings in 2014 should surely delight. But when it comes to what'll be hot in 2014, it looks like the large-scale developments bring the financial clout to develop spaces both large and small for culinary entrepreneurs to set up shop in
Krog Street Market: Scheduled for a spring opening, this development between Inman Park and Cabbagetown will span the existing Stoveworks and the neighboring space at 99 Krog Street that housed Tyler Perry Studios up until 2008. Expect traditional restaurants - Superica from restaurateur Ford Fry (King + Duke, The Optimist, etc.), The Cockentrice from the Spotted Trotter team and Eli Kirshtein's The Luminary - as well as counter-service stalls from a number of new and existing restaurants (Little Tart Bakeshop, Gu's Dumplings, Fred's Meat & Bread from The General Muir, and more).
Buckhead Atlanta: Set to open in the summer, the Buckhead Atlanta megadevelopment that comprises six city blocks and replaced the scrapped Streets of Buckhead project, will house 1.5 million (yes, million) square feet of mixed use properties. A Georgia outpost of NYC's Shake Shack is one of the tenants, and Southern Gentleman and Gypsy Kitchen are new efforts from local restaurateurs.
Ponce City Market: The massive former Sears building (finally!) gets a makeover, and is set to open next year. While Buckhead will receive a Shake Shack, word is one may open in Ponce City Market in late 2014. Anne Quatrano (Bacchanalia, Quinones, etc.) has been announced as one of the tenants, and other locals are expected to join, whether with full-service restaurants or stalls in the food-hall style market.
Avalon: With an eye on a fall 2014 opening, this sprawling Avalon (pictured above) sits on land cleared years ago but only now being developed. A Whole Foods will anchor part of the development and national chains like Pinkberry and Kona Grill are confirmed as tenants. Local restaurants also plan to expand into Avalon: a Ted's Montana Grill, a burger-centric concept from Bocado, another restaurant from Ford Fry's Rocket Farms group.
Developments aside, a number of standalone restaurants should make 2014 a good year for eating. We're particularly looking forward to Cinco y Diez, the new Athens undertaking from restaurateur Hugh Acheson (Empire State South, Five & Ten) and executive chef Whitney Otawka (ex-Farm 255, Greyfield Inn), plans to give Mexican cuisine a chef-driven interpretation. And St. Cecilia, the next restaurant to open from owner Ford Fry and executive chef Brian Horn will give Buckhead a seasonal, Italian-inspired eatery focusing on Northern Italian pasta and seafood. Big Sky Buckhead, from Hector Santiago (Abattoir, ex-Pura Vida, Super Pan) and several Athens-based investors, will be one to watch when it opens early next year.

ForeSee Study: Southwest Airlines, Choice Hotels, Marriott Top Mobile Travel Satisfaction Index
ForeSee study ranks top mobile travel sites and apps; Bookers happier than Lookers; Mobile users not so "mobile"
Mar 26, 2013, 08:00 ET from ForeSee
ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Customers give high marks to Southwest Airlines for providing the best mobile experience, making the airline the one to beat on mobile devices as well as in the air, according to new research from customer experience analytics firm ForeSee. The ForeSee Mobile Satisfaction Index: Travel Edition is a study of the mobile experiences of 25 major airlines, hotels, online travel agencies, and car rental companies. Customers gave Southwest a score of 82 on the 100-point scale, while Choice Hotels (80) and Marriott (79) rounded out the top three in terms of mobile satisfaction.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110819/DE54780LOGO)
Of all the measured travel categories, hotel mobile sites and apps provide the best mobile experience, with an average score of 78. Airlines and car rental companies tie at 77, while online travel agencies score lowest at 76.
"Simple is the rule. Customers are attracted to the convenience of the mobile platform and do not want a complicated experience," said Larry Freed, president and CEO of ForeSee. "That's much easier for a hotel company to do because they have fewer moving parts and a predictable inventory. Airlines introduce more variables like seat selection and variable pricing. Online travel agencies have the most difficult challenges because they're dealing with all of these factors. Making matters worse, some travel properties are trying to assert more control over their own customers by withholding inventory from the travel aggregators."
Hotels: Choice Hotels and Marriott International lead the industry, while Best Western trails in terms of customer satisfaction with the mobile experience.

Online Travel Agencies: Individual companies within the lowest performing category are closely grouped, with only three points separating category leaders Kayak and Travelocity at 78 and Hotels.com and Orbitz.com at 75. Competition is tight, and there is opportunity for differentiation and innovation. A disproportionately large percentage of leisure travelers (84%) visit the mobile sites and apps of online travel agencies.
"Leisure travelers are more demanding than we thought," said Eric Feinberg, ForeSee senior director of mobile. "It is clear that travel aggregators need to do a better job of understanding what the leisure traveler needs."

Airlines: While Southwest is the undisputed king of satisfaction, the rest of the airline industry trails far behind, with no company within 5 points of the leader in mobile satisfaction.
"Southwest's simple, friendly, and no-frills approach to doing business translates well in the air as well as online. No assigned seats and no fees for baggage help to simplify the process for the consumer, which no doubt contributes to a more satisfying mobile experience," added Feinberg.

Other findings:
- Apps vs. Mobile Sites: Customers using mobile apps (78) are more satisfied with their mobile travel experience than those using mobile sites (77). Apps may benefit from a slightly higher score because their platform, unlike mobile sites, is tailored specifically to a mobile device.
- Not-So-Mobile Users: More than 70% of mobile users book with various travel sites from home, while only 12% of app and site users combined claim to be on-the-go when booking similar services.
- Lookers vs. Bookers: More people access mobile travel sites and apps to research (43%) than book a service or flight (23%). And those who use the sites to simply research (77) are less satisfied than those who book (79).
- Steer Clear of the Stars: Despite what customers may think, star ratings in app stores reveal very little when it comes to truly tracking the mobile experience. While a stars rating may be helpful from customer to customer, executives should be tuned in to satisfaction as a key performance indicator for any travel-related mobile investments.
The ForeSee Mobile Satisfaction Index: Travel Edition is based on more than 6,000 survey responses collected in February 2013. The full index is available at www.foresee.com.

Ducks survive wild penalty-killing sequence
ANAHEIM -- After building a 13-2 advantage in shots on goal while dominating the Phoenix Coyotes for nearly 15 minutes at the outset of the second period, the Ducks suddenly encountered a make-or-break situation in Sunday night's 2-0 victory at Honda Center.
Leading by only a goal, the Ducks found themselves short-handed for four minutes after a double-minor penalty for high-sticking on rookie defenseman Brendan Mikkelson at 14:47. Mikkelson's stick caught Phoenix winger Daniel Carcillo up high as Carcillo drove the net from the right side.
Adding to the penalty-killing challenge, Festerling's stick broke early in the ensuing shift, forcing Ducks winger Rob Niedermayer to surrender his stick to Festerling and leaving the Coyotes with what amounted to a five-on-three-and-a-half manpower advantage for a seeming eternity.
"I had to put on the oxygen tank there," Festerling said. "It was long, but I think we did a good job of keeping them to the outside and not giving them too many golden opportunities. I think it was momentum for us once we killed it."
With defenseman Scott Niedermayer and center Samuel Pahlsson also on the ice for the Ducks during the chaotic sequence, goaltender Jonas Hiller stopped eight Phoenix shots through the extended power play.
"We got caught out there pretty long -- a couple opportunities maybe we missed to clear the puck," Scott Niedermayer said. "Sometimes that comes back to haunt you, but Hillsy was back there making some big saves for us.
"We managed to remain as cool as we could, stay in position and limit them a little bit. It was a tough shift."

The Sherwin Experience
The winery and tasting room are as welcoming as the Sherwins.
With an indisputable European flair, the tasting room projects the aura of a living room, compelling guests to have another look around—checking for signs indicating that they did not inadvertently wander into the family home. The courtly jesters preside over the cozy décor, which conjures images of guests relaxing and chatting over a glass of Sherwin Family Cabernet Sauvignon, favorite dogs snoozing at their feet. Depending on the season, visitors may relax in front of a hearty blaze crackling in the fireplace or stroll out to the patio for a view that rolls down the vineyard rows into the lake, its central fountain splashing over ducks paddling in the summer sun.
Sherwin Family Vineyards is a place to visit and spend some time—to savor the wine, as well as the lifestyle.
