"Anaheim" might still go in front of Angels' name (9/11/08)
I heard somewhere the Anaheim Angels - as they are still known in this space - won some kind of division title the other day. Hooray. I'll actually follow the team when the rest of the world goes back to calling them the Anaheim Angels.
And that might happen by next season if two of the three appellate justices who heard arguments in the name-change case on Thursday afternoon see things my way. After observing about 90 minutes at the Fourth District Court of Appeal in Santa Ana, I think the we, The Righteous, have at least one of the justices on our side and it will come down to whether one of the other two agree.
The setup:In 1996, then-owner Disney and the City of Anaheim negotiated a stadium lease that included the proviso that "Anaheim" had to be in the team's name. Arte Moreno of Arizona bought the team in 2005 and changed the name to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The city sued, saying that wasn't the understanding.
I covered the 2006 trial wherein eight misguided jurors - including, coincidentally, one of the owners of this very newspaper - decided Moreno (of Arizona) did not violate the contract. What they failed to understand was that state law holds that contracts are more than what is written on them. Some basic principles underlie every contract, including one that deals with what each party understood it to mean.
Anaheim filed an appeal, and that's what was being heard Thursday in the quaint and quiet appellate courthouse on Spurgeon Street. I arrived a half-hour early and joined a growing number in the lobby.
It was much the same gangfrom 2 1/2 years ago: Pringle, Galloway, Sidhu, Hernandez and others from the city. Their lawyers, including the scholarly Michael Rubin, who would deliver the argument.
Arizona Arte was there with his wife, his team execs and his lawyers, including the dapper Todd Theodora, the manic George Stephan and the gentleman who would deliver the Angels' response, Harry W. R. Chamberlain II of Los Angeles, a Certified Appellate Law Specialist. Most of Arte's lawyers are from out of town. Surprised?
We were getting in line for the metal detector when the door opened and in strode the silver-haired eminence of Andy Guilford, the city's lead counsel during the trial, now a federal judge and, for purposes here, an observer. "I knew you couldn't stay away," I said.
At 1:40, we stood. The three justices - David Sills, Kathleen O'Leary and Richard Aronson- filed into the chapel-like courtroom. Sills called the case, and Rubin dived in.
His written brief goes more than 100 pages, but Rubin had just 30 minutes and so focused on one complaint: That the trial Judge Peter Polos refused to give jurors a key instruction the city's lawyers had requested: "If the terms of a promise are in any respect ambiguous or uncertain, it must be interpreted in the sense in which the promisor (the Angels) believed, at the time of making it, that the promisee (the city) understood it."
The parentheses are mine, but this is otherwise exactly what is written in California Civil Code 1640. Look it up!
And Polos had already ruled that the contract was "ambiguous." And some city and Disney officials did testify that the "promisee" understood the contract to mean Anaheim - and Anaheim only - would be the "geographic identifier" in the team name.
So why didn't Polos give the instruction? Chamberlain argued that it was already covered by other instructions. He also noted that "Anaheim" remains in the name.
Sills was clearly sympathetic to the city. Alluding to the Angels' notion that "Anaheim" hasn't been dropped from the name, he said he never sees it referred that way and - most bitingly - noted that Chamberlain in his own argument never used the phrase "of Anaheim." "Why don't you call it that?" Sills asked.
Aronson asked tough questions of both sides but seemed slightly tougher on the city. That leaves O'Leary, who didn't say a word. The justices have 90 days to decide whether to uphold the decision, send it back to Polos, or decide the city wins.
Sills said he thinks it will go to the Supreme Court and urged settlement instead. That's the one thing I don't think will happen.

Laker boys earn TRL No. 2 seed and a golden opportunity
Lake Oswego continued to play at the top of its game and picked up what was perhaps its biggest victory of the year so far last Thursday. The Lakers completed a season sweep of Clackamas with an impressive come-from-behind win over the Cavaliers.
The 80-67 victory marked the highest offensive output from Lake Oswego this year and also clinched the league's No. 2 seed in the playoffs. And, although the postseason can be unpredictable, that appears to be a very advantageous place to be. As it stands, only one of the state's top six teams, Barlow, is on Lake Oswego's side of the bracket.
Clackamas knew what it was playing for in last week's regular season finale and would have liked nothing more than to force a coin flip for that second seed. The Cavaliers started the game on a blistering pace.
Andrew Earnest knocked down five three-pointers in the first quarter for his team and had 18 of Clackamas's first 20 points.
However, the Lakers were able to withstand the storm and didn't panic in the midst of the early onslaught.
'I wasn't really worried. We knew they couldn't keep that up for the entire game,' coach Mark Shoff said.
Lake Oswego was efficient on offense all night and Elliot Babcock-Krenk put on a scoring clinic. The senior hit long jump shots and had strong drives to the hoop which led to a game-high 31-point outburst.
'It was a little bit like Kobe Bryant. He was scoring from everywhere on the floor,' Shoff said.
Still, it would take awhile to overcome Clackamas's quick start. The Cavaliers led by four points at the half and Shoff challenged his team in the locker room.
'I told the guys that this will show how tough they are,' Shoff said.
Lake Oswego responded and held the Cavaliers to just eight points in the third quarter. And the Lakers stayed consistent on offense. In the third period, Nick Rulli came alive and helped Lake Oswego take the lead.
'Nick is one of the best athletes in the school. He's just starting to get his confidence. To this point I think I've had more confidence in him than he has,' Shoff said.
The Lakers took a six-point advantage into the final stanza and took the Cavaliers' best shot down the stretch. Lake Oswego scored 30 points in the fourth quarter, expanding its lead and eventually sealing the victory.
The win clinched a home playoff game on Wednesday against South Salem, a team that features one of the state's top scorers in Xavier Cannefax.
Results from that game were not available at press time.
A win over South Salem would set up a showdown between Lake Oswego and Tualatin. The Timberwolves are one of the few teams who have knocked off the Lakers this year but that game was far from Lake Oswego's best this year.
And Shoff knows that nothing is a sure thing when it comes to the playoffs.
'I really think there will be some upsets this year. Oregon City is the team to beat but a lot of teams are fairly even,' Shoff said.

Tag: manly
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Feb.09, 2014, under Drill My Hole
If you thought that the end of the world would be entirely depressive and low in spirits, you should see this porn version of one such supposed event. Paddy O'Brian and Dato Foland want to make use of the time they still have on Earth and make love to each other.
This is also an interesting scene because Dato and Paddy flip-flop, so you have two sworn tops bottoming for each other as well. I really dig both actors, they're true studs, very masculine and muscled. Not to mention the fact that both guys have nice big peckers.
There's some blowjob action in the beginning, as it usually happens, and then first Dato fucks Paddy, then Paddy returns the favor and gives it hard to Dato in the ass.

Dominic Pacifico Takes Care Of His Fuck Buddy's Willing Ass
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Feb.04, 2014, under Men Over 30
Alexander Gustavo has gotten bored with being alone for protracted periods of time. Jerking off every day – day in day out – can definitely wear out a man's right (or left) hand. Alexander has had enough of that and wants a real man to take care of his needs. So he calls his newly found internet hookup Dominic Pacifico to come over in the afternoon.
Dominic is a beefy, manly top who likes to stretch bottom's willing holes in his own dominant way. Today he offered the complete service to Alexander, complete with blowjob, rimming and, of course, fucking.
I must admit I'm not a big fan of jewelry, various addons and piercings on the man's penis (Alexander has some of this), but Dominic is a very nice fucker and I had to publish a post about this scene. Actually, apart from that penis piercing I quite dig this scene and both actors.

Hot, Handsome & Manly Construction Worker Darren Pinkerton
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Jan.23, 2014, under LadsNextDoor
Darren is a very hot and cute straight lad. He lives in Essex, UK, and works as a construction worker. One of the things that he's particularly meticulous about is to take care of his personal grooming so that he always looks good and neat.
Darren likes to play sports, especially football and golf so that he keeps his body in great shape.
I also like his hairy chest and hot manly stubble that give him additional manpoints! Add to that that he has a great 8-inch thick cock, a very nicely built, muscled body and a hot round ass that literally begs to be worshipped and serviced… He does admit that he's very fond of rough sex. He likes to bend girls over and bang them hard. He also likes role-playing with girls and passionate love making in the missionary position. However, he also says that he's got a few "friends with benefits" that like to keep him satisfied, but I'm not sure we're going to see that on the camera.
Darren is also very skilled at talking. He can talk and talk, but his tone of voice is so pleasant and hot that you simply must listen.
Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy Darren as much as I did while compiling this post.

Rough Motherfucker Dylan Cox Fucks Antonio's Ass Raw & Spunks His Face
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Jan.19, 2014, under EricVideos
Antonio was on his way home when he noticed a strikingly handsome manly guy (Dylan Cox). The two men notice each other rather quickly and have a short chit-chat. It soon becomes obvious that they both want the same thing, so without wasting any more time they decide to go to one of their apartments to have some hot fun together.
Antonio really got lucky because Dylan is an aggressive and thorough fucker, who likes to dominate his bottom and make him scream. He nailed Antonio's ass hard and raw with his huge, curved uncut monster cock so well that Antonio could only scream and roll his eyes while being impaled from behind.
Antonio wanted to feel Dylan's cock both in his ass and mouth. Eventually Dylan spunks Antonio's face with a sizeable amount of jizz. There was so much cum that Antonio's mug was completely covered in Dylan's baby batter. Even Dylan himself was surprised by the huge amount of cum that he shot that day…
Besides the obvious hot men, yummy bareback action and the "amateur feel" of these videos that can be found on EricVideos, I also dig their taste in music – you will hardly find better electronic music anywhere else, whether on porn or non-porn sites.

Beefy, Hairy & Masculine Footballer Darren Daley Strokes It
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Jan.17, 2014, under HardBritLads
Darren Daley is a hot, straight and beefy lad. He's 26 years old and he plays football in a local Essex team. This manly fucker doesn't have any hangups about shooting a porn scene with another man, providing the price is right (as the saying goes, "every straight man has his price").
Darren came to the shoot in his usual football sports kit. I must say I always dig young masculine boys in sports shorts, especially if they carry a big bulge down there like Darren. He takes off his t-shirt and shows us his chest which is hairy to a degree. He has several tats as well, but not too many. By the time he's about to drop his shorts he's already sporting a nice big hardon inside them.
I don't know if I mentioned this quite enough, but I find men's legs extremely sexy, especially when they're muscled and hairy. In fact, on the scale between 1 and 10 I would probably rate men's legs at number 9 by their importance in the overall impression about any particular guy. And Darren's legs are really, really nice… strong, masculine and hairy… can hardly be improved on actually.
He pushes his shorts down and reveals his beautiful, thick big cock that pulsates and begs to be jacked off. We can see some precum oozing out of the cockhead, and Darren uses it as lube. While he's handling his throbbing weapon, Darren allows us to enjoy in the sight of his great cock from many angles. His cock goes up and down and twitches from time to time, which is a nice sign that it's super hard.
Darren goes to the nearby couch and kicks back. He positions his legs so that they are spread apart and we can watch them in all their hairy glory. He focuses his attention to his cock again and relatively quickly reaches the point when he's about to cum… but he continues to edge himself for a bit. Then he stands up and continues to stroke it and soon enough he shoots his hot straight load. His jizz falls onto the floor making the characteristic thumping sound. That was a nice, big load that consisted of several big squirts of hot thick semen.

Ripped & Hung Military Guys Wayne And Tim Flip-Flow Fucking
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Jan.10, 2014, under ActiveDuty
This is Tim and Wayne's second time to appear together, and judging by your feedback from their previous scene, you really liked them. Tim is amazingly well-built, with perfect ripped muscles all over his body. Just check out those veins that emphasize the raw strength of his strong muscles… not to mention his rock hard six pack abs and a rather big, thick cock!
Wayne is also sexy as hell, this cute straight marine is the very epitome of the masculine military man that I usually envisage in my daydreams when I want to create "the perfect army dude" in my mind.
Today the two army guys wanted to try flip-flop fucking, and as soon as the camera started rolling they whipped out their cocks and started stroking them slowly. Wayne starts giving head to Tim who seems to be very appreciative of Wayne's skillful mouth and his cocksucking skills in general.
Then it's Tim's turn to return the favor so he bends down and starts sucking on Wayne's hard tool. He is a bit awkward at first but soon enough he gets the hang of it and starts swallowing Wayne's big tool almost balls deep.
Now the most important and interesting part of this scene is the fucking itself, of course. The fucking exceeded my expectations and it turned out to be much more passionate and just plain raw sex than I had expected.
First Wayne gets fucked by Tim's rather huge rod. Wayne receives it from behind, doggy style. By the way, Tim's muscles look fucking amazing while he's thrusting his dick into Wayne's ass. I really enjoyed this sight of two manly marines in such a hot action.
Wayne has some issues taking Tim's tool at first, and if you pay attention he's actually in a mixture of pleasure and pain. Wayne lets out various grunting sounds while being mercilessly penetrated and assaulted from behind by his buddy. Wayne even uttered some specially prepared curse words for Tim before Tim pulled out of his ass and shot his wad all over Wayne's back.
Director Mike made a passing remark to Wayne, saying something like "We can tell by your moans, Wayne, you really liked it." Wayne laughed and said something like "Hah, yeah, we'll leave it at that."
As the saying goes, payback's a bitch, and it's now time for Wayne to get even with Tim. Tim bends over and now it's time for Wayne to fuck his ass. Wayne didn't fuck Tim for too long, though, and after a few minutes he pulls out and shoots his load. Wayne's cumshot was really big, and he totally drenched Tim's back with his jizz. Even Tim noticed this and commented "Who spilled the quart of milk?"
In any case, this was a very hot and very good bareback flip-flop fuck scene with extra hot and pretty hung military guys.

Handsome Sexy Swimmer Shane
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Nov.23, 2013, under Picturethis-studios
Shane is a hot masculine young swimmer who really likes to show off. He definitely digs taking off his clothes in front of the camera. By his own admission, Shane considers clothes as something almost superfluous – as soon as he gets the chance he gets rid of his clothes and walks around the house naked, allowing the people who might be present at the time to watch his beautiful naked male body.
The same is true when he goes to other cities when traveling. He takes with himself only that much clothes that he would need for the airport and travel in general… and as soon as he's at the destination, the clothes are gone!
Shane is a straight guy but he doesn't care walking around nude in front of his mates. And he has no reason to be ashamed of anything, his whole body is toned and pretty much perfect, as you'd expect to see when you have a 26-year-old handsome man in front of you

Aggressive Fucker Nick Andrews Fucks Gio Ryder Very Hard & Raw
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Nov.05, 2013, under Bareback That Hole
Take a good long look at Nick Andrews and see if you can tell me straight face that you wouldn't like to spend a wild night with him. It can't be done – I mean the guy is perfect. From head to toe I can't find a fault with Nick Andrews, he's the epitome of a sexy, manly, hairy man that I like to feature on this blog the most.
Gio Ryder was lucky enough to be paired with such a hot, masculine fucker, and he admits he's been waiting for weeks for this special occasion. Andrew has apparently also got amazingly horny when thinking about plowing Gio's insatiable ass. Andrew also admits he's been looking forward to this particular scene. As soon as the guys were together there could be felt that there was a strong chemistry between them – you know, the secret magical factor that can decide the difference between a magnificent, earth-shattering sex and some entirely forgettable sex. This ingredient was present, and I knew there had to be something special when these two horny boys start fucking.
Once again Gio proves that he's a master cocksucker while he greedily devours Andrew's beautiful big fuck stick. But the main event of the night was the hard fucking itself. I really like how Andrew fucks ass – his style reminds me of other aggressive fuckers such as Peto Coast.
When Andrew starts to fuck Gio's ass, he just doesn't stop. He fucks him ever harder and nails it deep over and over again, from several positions. I mean, Nick totally owns Gio, if you know what I mean.

Braggy, Straight & Sexy Military Motherfucker George At His First Porn Audition
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Oct.25, 2013, under TheCastingRoom
George is hot, hairy and masculine straight guy. He used to be in the Army but now is a free man again. George is a perpetually horny man, and he likes to tell stories about his adventures with the many women that were lucky enough to cross paths with him.
When he's not chasing ladies. George likes to spend his time in a pub and tell his buddies (as well as complete strangers) about his sexual endeavors so that they become at least a little jealous. Yep, George is one braggy but entirely charming motherfucker. He can't help it, though, because women are attracted to him like to a magnet.
On the other hand, since he served in the military, he is quite accustomed to receiving orders from his superiors, and today he obeyed pretty much every order that was issued by our casting director.
For instance, when our casting director told him to lift his legs up in the air and show his hairy ass to the cameraman, George obeyed without telling a word. He did emphasize several times that that asshole is strictly for his own use, and that doesn't involve any foreign objects, much less someone's finger or cock.
Anyway, it was such a great fun watching this hot, hairy military man stroke his rather big cock and getting horny by looking at the straight porn magazines. He shot a nice big load and the seed hit the floor with the characteristic thumping sound.
I really like this dude, he is certainly charming and masculine, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of him in the future.

Muscled Manly Stud Goran Pounds Xavi's Ass In The Woods
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Aug.10, 2013, under StagHomme
Shooting porn (or having any kind of sex) in the forest can be a lot of fun, and certainly brings in some fresh air. Here we have Bulgarian stud Goran fucking Basque Xavi in the woods. This was Xavi's first time to bottom, so pay attention folks.
There is something very hot and primal in such a nasty fucking in the woods between to hot men. It reminds us of the more savage times when people lived in the woods and probably engaged in similar activities. If you found your man (or woman) you had to do it quickly and there was a lot of pure masculine passion.
First we see Goran and Xavi exchanging blowjobs. They became both quite sweaty from the intense sun. Next, Goran feels inclined to eat Xavi's ass and prepare it for the penetration.
Then Goran inserts his nice big cock and pounds poor Xavi relentlessly until he cums. It was a really good, aggressive fuck. Goran shot his wad all over Xavi's pretty bearded face, just look at that work of art at the end.

Trumka: All we need is to raise taxes to create jobs
posted at 2:00 pm on February 27, 2011 by Bruce McQuain
If ever there was an example of the complete cluelessness much of the left commonly displays when it comes to economic matters, the AFL-CIO's (and Obama advisor) Richard Trumka provides it:
What's the best way to get Americans back to work?
Raise taxes, according to AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka. Specifically, he wants to raise the federal gas tax as a means to fund infrastructure spending. "We need a dedicated source of revenue to create infrastructure in this country," he tells Aaron Task in the accompanying clip.
"We need to create jobs. The best way to do that is through infrastructure development." Simply maintaining the existing infrastructure in this country will cost $2.2 trillion over five years, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers. That doesn't include Obama's objective of high-speed rails and green energy projects.
So, to sum up, raise one of the most regressive taxes there is (it hits the poor the hardest at the gas pump because they end up having to pay a larger portion of their disposable income for gasoline) and declare this will help "create jobs".
What it will actually do, if that were to occur, is create more union jobs. And if the poor have to cut back on food or shelter, well, you know, a few eggs have to be cracked to make an omelet. The key to economic recovery, per Trumka, is government created jobs with money taken from taxpayers who just might have a much different priority for it. It calls for another "new revenue stream". And he has no qualms at all laying claim to your dollars to fund his nonsense.
Trumka didn't say specifically how much he would raise the gas tax, but mentioned he's shown the President a $256 billion plan to improve infrastructure. If every billion spent on infrastructure creates 35,000 jobs, as he claims, this package would create close to 9 million jobs over the next five years.
The idea would also improve America's fiscal and competitive future, says Trumka. "There's also a downstream effect, you put people back to work, they pay taxes, they don't use services, they're contributing, other jobs are created along the way as well," he explains.
Fantasy. A) it is, as usual, the left's answer to everything – tax and spend. Someone tell Mr. Trumka that it is precisely that mindset that the majority of Americans have rejected. B) it assumes something not in evidence. We just spent over $800 billion on "infrastructure" – look around you, did you see the unemployment rate dip significantly or go up? C) after the stimulus was spent there has apparently been no down-stream effect for jobs, service use is up and tax revenue is down.
If Trumka's solution had any credibility, unemployment would be down below 8% (that was the promise, remember – spend the money on infrastructure and see jobs created) and we'd be riding the recovery train. We have a million little signs up everywhere in America right now touting infrastructure projects – and the unemployment rate?
In fact, what Trumka is doing is asking for more to be spent on a plan that has already failed miserably and expecting different results. Isn't that the definition of "insanity"?
That's precisely what this plan is – insane. Government has wasted trillions on nonsense like this. The solution to this isn't government creating jobs. It is private industry doing so. That requires low taxes and a stable business atmosphere where government hasn't declared war on business and corporations. That requires less government, not more – something the Richard Trumkas and Barack Obamas of the world can't quite seem to get through their heads. In their world, government is always the answer. Unfortunately, we're living in their world right now.
Happy with it?
Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?

A genius diet plan is extremely important if you want to lose weight successfully, without starving yourself and at the same time, staying motivated to stick to the diet. This program revolves around the fact that 21 days is all it takes to make you learn to eat healthy and to make exercise an indispensable part of your day-to-day routine for always. The 21 day fix program was created by Autumn Calabrese and is a perfect amalgamation of a nutrition plan along with a workout plan. Undoubtedly, the best thing about it is that the eating plan is the simplest ever.
The Exclusive Container System
- Green – For Vegetables
- Purple – For Fruits
- Red – For Proteins
- Yellow – For Carbohydrates
- Blue – For Healthy Fats and Cheeses
- Two Orange – For Seeds, Dressings and Oils
- Shakeology Cup – For Mixing Drinks
Healthy eating will just become your habit before you know it. There are seven workouts, all around half an hour long, which effortlessly blend into your schedule, in addition to the containers for controlling your food portions. There are basic and plain recipes which you need to follow and round the clock online support as well. Make it a point to buy the official Beachbody containers, as they have the exact defined measurements. For best results, you can invest in a yoga mat or a resistance band and a few weights as they contribute a lot in toning you up more quickly. All you need to do is fill up these containers with the specific kind of food you are allowed everyday and eat. The order in which you consume the contents of the containers is up to you. Make sure you drink plenty of water too. It's a pretty good idea to keep a calendar meal planner for yourself, with your favourite recipes and in accordance with your calorie target. Another impressive aspect of this program is that it has several new and creative workout moves, which are sure to blow you over totally. There's even a three day quick fix plan included to help you get a head start on your weight loss.
All in all, this workout and diet program is extremely effective and helps you consciously realize just how much food should be going inside you at one sitting. It has been carefully designed, keeping every possible fitness level in mind. Moreover, it's an at home workout program and the eating plan is what you would call, family friendly, with a focus on clean, nutritious foods, which need to be eaten more. It ensures complete satisfaction with a 30 day money back guarantee. Though it can be a bit time consuming and restrictive at times, but the outcome of it is so worth it.

quote:exactly,plus Manning was playing catch up all game long,thus the big numbers.
Brady didn't have to do as much with his running game going off
Gregory coming back
In a couple weeks people will be talking about unstoppable this offense is, they are really finding themselves and an identity.
s it just me, or does Wilson always seem near the ball.
ts amazing the difference that Lloyd makes. They can run the ball, because defenses can't just make a moshpit of the middle of the field
So many athletes on defense too. This could be the most versatile team I have ever seen. Spread it out? Check. Power Run? Check. Scat Run? Check. Playaction to the Tight End? Check. Zone Run? Check. Ball Possession and aggressive/hard hitting defense? Check
Why does Brady keep saying who the Mike is when there's like 4 seconds left on the playclock Von Miller is a fricking monster. Kraft with Bransen... like a boss.

Apple's the Hollywood darling with iDevices appearing in 40% of the 2011 box office hits
0. phoneArena 14 May 2012, 04:57 posted on
Our collective geek subconscious no doubt registers each time an Apple device or an Android gear shows up on a movie or TV series, but now reseearch firms have dressed up those appearances into numbers for 2011. Last year Apple was the Hollywood darling with iDevices appearing in no less than 40% of the 2011 box office hits, and that's without Apple paying a dime, but rather offering barter deals in its own ads and iTunes screens...

Who knows who the other 60% of devices are made by. Probably a mix of every other manufacturer on the market. I doubt the other 60% is any one particular manufacturer.

when was the last time you didnt see a phone that was either a apple or android on a current show? Its pretty rare these days. so its a pretty obvious guess what would make up the bulk of the other 60%

Soldier Shootout at Fort Hood Leaves 12 Dead
At least one US soldier (two other suspects are in custody) went on a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas today, killing 12 and injuring 31. The slain shooter has been identified as Major Malik Nadal Hasan. What that name means, if anything, we don't know yet, so let's not immediately jump to 9/11-type conclusions.
Longer and more frequent deployments, for a shrinking and less-qualified fighting force, means our increasingly stressed soldiers are under more pressure than ever. The Army has already seen PTSD spread among its ranks, its suicide rate skyrocket, and domestic violence (and this is a different type of domestic violence) has also plagued Army bases under the strain of dual wars.
President Obama called the Fort Hood shootings a "horrific outburst of violence." He added: "It is difficult enough to lose" soldiers overseas, but "horrifying that they should lose their lives at an Army base in the U.S."

By Nikhil Vaish
Born: 1550 (approx.) in Surrey, England
Died: 26th June, 2014 in Melbourne, Australia
On a sunny afternoon of June 26, 2014, the noble sport of cricket passed away after a long battle with corrupt administrators. In her last hours she was surrounded by the three men responsible for her demise: N Srinivasan, Giles Clarke and Wally Edwards, as well as extended family from the various governing bodies. The families, whose avarice led to their selling out without so much as putting up a fight to save the sport that they had sworn to uphold, protect and serve.
Cricket was said to have had her beginnings in the town of Guildford, Surrey in England, as early as 1550; thought to have been originally conceived as a game for young children. From these humble beginnings she had grown into a great global sport often referred to as a Gentleman's game. The same sport that has now been consumed by three corrupt old men who stand against all that she once represented: fair play, integrity, honour and chivalry.
In India, the current Mecca of cricket, she was often given the same stature as religion and used to be one of the few things that united the entire country. Indians cricketers were held in higher esteem than Bollywood stars. Cricket pitches used to be the only places where caste, religion, language, education and wealth never mattered. Such was the once power of cricket and that is why her demise should concern us all, greatly.
Her rich and storied life included Articles of Agreement being written as early as 1727 to guide the conduct of matches between teams and the first recorded women's match played in 1811 between Surrey and Hampshire at Ball's Pond in what was still otherwise completely a man's world.
Over the centuries cricket had produced legendary figures from the likes of WG Grace, Sir Donald Bradman and Sir Garfield Sobers to heroes of later days who have been great ambassadors of the sport, both on and off the field, like Brian Lara and Sachin Tendulkar. These men inspired generations of young impressionable minds to strive for greatness through integrity, dignity and the ethics of hard work.
Today, a few wealthy men have been able to carry out their devious ploys and strangle one of the greatest inventions of mankind and turned it into their personal fiefdom. Cricket, who had once nurtured the souls of the young, all over the world, has now met an untimely demise. Her rotting carcass will now feed the hunger of three corrupt boards, with her lamenting admirers clutching on to copies of Wisden to cling on to their memories.
(A career in advertising agencies in Bombay, London and New York kept Nikhil Vaish busy until 2008, when he took the plunge and co-founded a brand strategy, design & technology consulting firm. Writing is his love on the side, and he maintains a blog where he can let loose his alter ego and write about life, advertising, politics and other useless things).

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Meh: Republicans Shrug Off Huck's Musings On Women's 'Libido'
Toni Anne Dashiell, a committeewoman from Texas said Huckabee's overall argument was that the Republican Party isn't trying to put women into one category and treat them like single issue voters. Dashiell highlighted to TPM that she had created a Facebook group called Women R More which argues that "women are concerned about all issues and we don't want to be put into a box."
"I thought, you know what, if you listen to the whole speech and you listen to it all and not just focused into one area I thought it was perfect. He was right," Dashiell said. "We are not labeling people, we do not put them into a box, we do not label them. We want to look at all issues and what is important to you, we support what is important to you. We're not telling you what you should do."
Other Republicans said Huckabee could have chosen his language better.
"I don't think Huckabee's comments in their entirety are as bad as they're being made to sound by certain critics," said Liz Mair, a consultant and former spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee. "However, his choice of the word 'libido' was a bad one because, unfortunately, for many people-- liberals as much as conservatives -- 'libido' still has a negative connotation, especially when attached to women."
Mair defended the crux of what she believed Huckabee was attempting to convey: that Obamacare's contraception mandate is premised on the notion that "a vast swath of women are helpless to get a hold of the [birth control] pill ... in the absence of government stepping in and mandating things." She posited that "it would be nice if, rather than just blasting the contraception mandate using inartful language, Huckabee had talked about how making the pill available over the counter [as Bobby Jindal has suggested]."
John Feehery, a former top aide to House Speaker Dennis Hastert who is now a lobbyist, said that while he doesn't support the birth control requirement, "generally fighting about contraception is not good politics for the GOP."
As for the Huckabee flap? Meh, he says. "[It] gets Mike Huckabee back in the news so that is good for him. Riles up MSNBC so it is good for them," Feehery said. "[I'm] pretty sure that outside of those two discrete groups, nobody else cares."
Pat Longo, an RNC committeewoman from Connecticut, offered an unqualified defense of Huckabee.
"I think he's right. I certainly agree with him and I don't want to pay for somebody's abortion. I mean I'm very much pro-life," Longo said.

WILSON, N.C. (Nov. 22, 2013)
— The 2013-2014
US Youth Soccer National League
Boys season is shaping up to be a long fight, as just eight of the 80 teams have been victorious in both games after two days of play at Gillette Athletic Complex and Rocky Mount Sports Complex in Wilson, N.C.
With a talented field of teams from top to bottom, the first two days have already shown that each National League side must be on top of its game to walk away with a win. After going a perfect 7-0-0 last season, there won't be another unblemished campaign this year for Sunrise Elite 97/98 (FL). The Florida side came away with a win in its opening game, but Sunrise couldn't break down a stout Alliance Academy 98 Black (MI) squad on Friday as they played to a scoreless tie in Under-16 action.
CUP Gold 95/96 (OH-S) — which won a National League title last year and advanced to the final at the National Championships — is one of the few teams to come away with two wins to start its season. CUP head coach Bobby Puppione said while it's good to start off with a pair of wins, anything can happen moving forward with the strength of the field in the National League.
"No game is easy in the National League. To start off with a win Thursday and then come back after a tough match and put on another good performance to get a result today was huge for us in our step to try to repeat as National League champions," Puppione said. "That's not an easy task because we're playing with the best teams in the country. The fact that we're able to start off with two wins is fantastic, but that doesn't mean anything for tomorrow because we're going to play a very good team."
National League teams earn their place in the league based on a proven track record of success in US Youth Soccer regional and national competitions and are among the nation's best. Competing for a league title and a spot in the
US Youth Soccer National Championships
, each and every game will play into who represents the National League this summer in Germantown, Md.
The league is an extension of the highly successful US Youth Soccer Regional Leagues (US Youth Soccer Region I Premier League, Midwest Regional League, Region III Premier League and Far West Regional League). The National League provides an avenue for teams to play in meaningful matches against top competition from across the country for continued development and opportunities for exposure at the national team, collegiate and professional levels.
Some highlights from Friday's matches…
Under-14 Boys
At the Rocky Mount Sports Complex, the Under-14 games continued to be tight on Friday. Raiders FC (IL) is the lone team in the Blue Division with two wins, while every team in the group has earned at least one point after two games. Scorpions SC Boston (MA) is at the top of the Red Division after winning its first two games, but five other teams have at least three points heading into the third day of play.
Under-15 Boys
Ohio Galaxies FC 98 Elite (OH-S) captured its second win in as many games with a tight 1-0 victory over CESA 98 Premier (SC). Off of a seventh-minute corner kick, Parker Simms connected on a header that found the back of the net to give the Ohio side the early lead. Both sides pressured the opposition's goal for the remainder of the contest, but neither team could break through. The win puts Galaxies in good position in the U-15 Red Division standings after two days of play.
In another tight Under-15 game, Blast FC Red (OH-S) held off Solar Chelsea Red 99 (TX-N) to secure its first National League win. Theodore Knowles beat the keeper in the 19th minute to give Blast FC an early 1-0 lead. The Ohio side's defense made sure that goal held up, as Blast FC shut out Solar Chelsea, 1-0. With each side having a win after two days of play, they're both in the thick of a tightly packed Blue Division.
Both back lines held strong in the first half of the Under-15 match between Michigan Wolves 99 (MI) and NASA 17 Elite (GA), as the teams went to halftime scoreless. The Wolves were able to open the scoring in the 54th minute when Louis Meeks found the back of the net. That goal proved to be the game-winner, as the Michigan side won, 1-0, in another competitive Blue Division matchup.
Under-16 Boys
The Under-16 Boys competed at the Rocky Mount Sports Complex on Friday, with Sereno 98 White (AZ) earning its second win in the Blue Division. The Arizona side is the only team in its division to not drop any points after two games, while the same goes for FC Golden State Platinum (CA-S) in the Under-16 Red Division.
Under-17 Boys
After losing a tight contest on Thursday, two-time National Champions Fullerton Rangers 96 White (CA-S) came away with a crucial 2-1 win on Friday against FC Alliance 97 Black (TN). Fullerton jumped out to an early advantage on a Ricardo Ruiz goal, but FC Alliance responded in the 22nd minute when Cameron Schneider found the back of the net. The California side regained the lead seconds after halftime when James Handal beat the keeper. Despite several late threats from FC Alliance, Fullerton was able to hang on for the 2-1 victory and secure its first win of the National League season.
Tennessee SC 15 (TN) looked to get its second win of the season Friday but ran into a determined Albion SC White (CA-S) squad. Despite scoring five goals in its previous game, Tennessee couldn't break through the Albion defense. The Tennessee back line matched the play of its counterparts, as neither team could find the back of the net, resulting in a scoreless tie.
Under-18 Boys
Alliance Academy 96 Black (MI) and OBGC Rangers (MD) traded chances for much of their Under-18 contest, but neither side could find the right final touch as the game ended in a scoreless tie. OBGC pressured the Alliance Academy net for the final portion of the game, which saw the Maryland side get an open header in front of the goal. However, the Alliance Academy goalkeeper made the save to preserve the tie and give each side an important point in the Blue Division.
In the Under-18 Red Division, CUP Gold 95/96 (OH-S) looks like an early contender for a second-straight National League division title after beginning the season with two straight wins. The Ohio side wasted little time getting started against Waza FC East 96 Jrs. (MI) on Friday, as Thomas Moore put CUP up with a third-minute goal. The teams went back and forth before Gabe Welp doubled CUP's lead in the 51st minute. Jack Clark capped the scoring when he received the ball in the middle of the box and slid a left-footed shot into the right corner of the net, giving CUP the 3-0 win.
Lehigh Valley United 95 (E-PA) posted its first win of the season with a 2-0 victory over Fram 18 Premier (CA-S). The Pennsylvania side went up in the 14th minute thanks to a goal by Colten Habecker. It appeared that score would hold until halftime, but Andrew Nardone doubled the lead just before the break. Nardone gathered the ball on the left side of the six-yard box and beat the keeper from a tough angle to put LVU up 2-0. That score remained unchanged, as LVU earned the three points with the win.

Muggles in the Ozone
Last winter's protest in Seattle were an attack on something even more pervasive than free trade: the conventional wisdom.
Sometimes it seemed as if no two protesters were holding the same sign in the streets of Seattle: Pictures of sea turtles bobbed next to banners supporting the Zapatistas; portraits of Burmese dissident Aung San Suu Kyi danced in the charged air next to placards denouncing Monsanto.
And so, of course, the pundits called it a "kooky crowd" (Charles Krauthammer in Time), a "circus" (Tom Friedman in the New York Times), a "motley crew" (Fareed Zakaria in Newsweek), a mob of "militant dunces" (The Economist). "Disparate isn't the word," complained Newsweek in its coverage. "Those on the streets included steelworkers, animal rights activists, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Pat Buchanan, French makers of Roquefort cheese, anarchists, fans of a Free Tibet, students against sweatshopped sweatshirts, grandmas, and a fine turnout of local folk too."
To understand why it was the most significant protest in America since the waning days of Vietnam, though, you needed to look more carefully through the haze of pepper spray. There was one small sticker plastered on hundreds of very different people, and all it said was: "Wake Up, Muggles!" That's what was happening here.
If you are currently short of children, you may not get the reference. J.K. Rowling's three (so far) Harry Potter books camped atop the best-seller lists for most of last year. They tell the story of an England full of magic: wizards, witches, a boarding school packed with wand-wielders in training. But it all exists inside the England we know, the England full of telly-watchers and car-drivers and stuff-grabbers. The England that looks like America, that looks like every place the global culture has now spread. And the people who live in this world, oblivious to all the wizardry around them: They're "Muggles."
Some new force came of age in Seattle. You can call it the left if you want, but it doesn't have much in common with the left of the last two decades, the left of identity politics. Where was Jesse Jackson, the most visible leader of this left, during the Seattle protests? He was in Decatur, Illinois, defending the right of kids to rumble at a football game without being expelled. He may be right and he may be wrong -- but at best he's mopping up, finishing the work that the civil rights movement began more than 40 years ago.
The anti-Muggle "left" is a different thing altogether. With the exception of some of the union activists, most of the people in Seattle didn't show up on their own behalf: They weren't angry about how they were being treated. (Chances are, many of them had benefited from America's long economic boom; Seattle, anyway, is full of people who can afford to take the day off.) The protesters were exercised on behalf of someone or something else, be it sweatshops or sea turtles, and mad about the pervasive McDonaldization of the planet.
On day three of the protests, I was inside Planet Hollywood, talking with the store manager. The giant-screen television carried a newscast of protesters surging up a street, but even at larger than life-size they were muffled, contained within the same dull square box that has defined American life since its invention. But then I turned around and looked out the door -- these pictures were coming from this very street. There was real life there: anger and good humor and tension and sheer energy. Forget Planet Hollywood -- this was Planet Earth.
What drove the responsible Muggle press to distraction was that logic didn't seem to work with this crowd. Michael Kinsley, in Time magazine, wrote the calmest and most sensible argument for the World Trade Organization. True, he said, free trade sometimes robs textile workers of jobs. But it makes sweaters cheaper for everyone. "On average, free trade benefits us all," he wrote. "Do the math."
For a decade, math has been all that's mattered. Bill Clinton told us it was the economy, stupid. The Dow Jones mesmerized us. Wired magazine and the e-ristocrats promised an endless boom. And so far it has all come true. These protesters, though, weren't doing the math: They were laying down their bodies for the proposition that there's more to life than money. In the roughest outline, they were demanding a world where growth doesn't always come first -- where human rights, environmental protection, and a reasonably equitable distribution of wealth count too. They weren't ideologues: If anything, they shared only their distrust of the ideology of laissez-faire expansion. In the truest sense of the word, they were sympathizers -- with other humans, other creatures.
Which is not to say they all were noble. As any Harry Potter fan knows, the wizard world is at least as stained with darkness as our own. Pat Buchanan is well cast as Voldemort, Lord of Darkness -- it makes perfect sense that he's an apologist for Hitler as well as an opponent of free trade. And what of the 75 or 100 anarchists who smashed windows, threw bricks, and beat up those protesters who tried to stop them? They were frightening, ugly, bitter; they blurred the message. It took the Students for a Democratic Society a decade to breed the Weathermen; it may happen faster this time.
The SDS grew from the prosperous 1950s. "We are people of this generation, bred in at least modest comfort," Tom Hayden wrote in 1962. Despite their comfort, they were "looking uncomfortably to the world we inherit" -- a world still plagued by segregation, a world shadowed by the Bomb. Those of us a generation or two or three younger now look ahead at least as uncomfortably. An area of Arctic ice larger than Maryland and Delaware combined is vanishing annually, thanks to the global warming caused by all of us Muggles in our Muggle lives.
Such growing environmental horrors did more than anything to wake up this new movement, I think. Not just climate change, but also the undemocratic, unexamined expansion of genetic engineering. In the course of a decade, biotech crops have spread from the laboratory to 60 million acres around the country. But the sudden revulsion of European consumers last spring at the swelling tide of "Frankenfood" helped launch this new movement. People were upset that their health might be at risk -- but I think they were upset, too, by something deeper. It was Prince Charles who said, in an open letter to the British public, that genetic engineering may be taking "mankind into realms that belong to God, and to God alone."
The movement that paralyzed Seattle snuck up on the conventional wisdom a week before the WTO talks began. White House officials were still demanding that the trade negotiations they hoped to launch there be called "the Clinton round." That talk vaporized in the first whiff of tear gas; now it's hard to imagine that there are many cities bidding to host the next negotiations. How did it happen? There's no question that e-mail played a major role. I've spent years being wary of the Internet, and continue to fret about the amount of time we spend in front of various screens. But there is no gainsaying the fact that instant, free, data-rich communication gives an edge to activists.
We used to think that computer power helped the octopus -- the centralized heavyweights who could comb your files, know your life. And doubtless it does. But centralization exacts a price: Giants are not so nimble. To reach a little further back into English fantasy literature, Seattle was akin to the triumph of the Lilliputians, who tied down a giant with a million threads. Ask Monsanto what it thinks of e-mail.
In the end, the powerful were reduced to the ultimate powerlessness: crude violence to control people unresponsive to the usual charms, sticks for a mob that suspected the carrots were probably genetically modified and not worth eating.
Hours before the first anarchist broke the first window, at 9:45 a.m. on Nov. 30 on the corner of Sixth and Union, the police sprayed "chemical agents" on a crowd of people sitting peacefully in the intersection. I got several lungfuls. It works: When you're pepper-sprayed, your resolve diminishes immediately and you run away. But as the tears stream out, your vision may clear a little too. A little of the old consumer enchantment washes away; you're not in Niketown anymore, Dorothy.
If, as they used to say, a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged, then we need a new word to describe a Muggle who has noticed the ozone hole, the rising temperature, the fact that his sweater comes from a sweatshop. A new word for a Muggle who's been gassed.

Recycling Batteries Responsibly
The European Directive on Batteries and Accumulators aims to minimise the impact of batteries on the environment and encourage the recovery of the materials they contain. In the UK, regulations on the recycling of batteries and accumulators (rechargeable batteries) were Introduced in 2009. The Waste Batteries Regulations aim to significantly increase UK collection and recycling of used portable batteries from 3% in 2007 to 25% by 2012, rising to at least 45% in 2016.
The battery symbol on a product or on its packaging indicates that the product must not be disposed of with general household waste. Instead, it is the consumer's responsibility to dispose of their waste batteries at a designated collection point so that they can be recycled. The separate collection and recycling of batteries at the time of disposal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that they are recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. A comprehensive list of battery recycling centres can be obtained from: www.recycle-more.co.uk
All Samsung products that are subject to the Batteries Directive are compliant with the UK battery and accumulator Requirements. In accordance with national law, SAMSUNG Electronics (UK) Ltd is a member of an approved batteries producer compliance scheme. This scheme collects, treats and disposes of batteries on Samsung's behalf.

Some strange kind of stigma has become associated with classical music, and I want to get to the bottom of it. It isn't unusual for stereotypes about classical music and its listeners or performers to exist; after all, there are similarly plenty of opinions out there about Twilight-loving teenagers, Bronies, Trekkies, band geeks, and people who wear sandals with socks.
It's nothing new, then, to assume that all classical music and its listeners can be stuffed snugly in a box tied up with music-note-printed ribbon and mailed to Austria. But for a brief moment, I'd like to debunk some myths about classical music.
1. Classical music is for rich people.
I can see how this myth originated; in the 18th century the wealthy nobility were the patrons and commissioners of classical music, opera, and live performance. Watch a Jane Austen movie and you'll see how playing the piano forte was as a mark of refinement.
Today, however, I will take this opportunity to inform you of some heartbreaking, but fairly well-known news: a great number of artists and musicians live in poverty. Even centuries ago they did. Music majors are among the ranks of graduates who receive the lowest starting salaries out of college. While the society at large believes in the great value of music and the arts, this is not proportionally reflected in the funding of the arts.
There definitely still remains the association of classical music with those who drink tea with their pinkies raised, or the nobility of the old aristocratic patrons. But, with the introduction of mass media and the internet, classical music is now accessible to listeners from all backgrounds around the globe.
2. Anyone who takes music lessons comes from a wealthy background.
Where people invest their money is a reflection of their values. Yes, weekly private lessons can add up as a monthly or annual expense, so are often quickly crossed off the budget when things are tight. And with the recent recession, as many families simplify their spending, it's understandable that lessons often fall by the wayside.
However, there are so many affordable and even free opportunities to provide both children and adults with exposure to classical music. Many public schools offer orchestra programs with instruments students can use for free. Quality violins purchased online are more affordable and accessible than ever. Community centers and programs often sponsor free concerts, workshops, and even individual music lessons and scholarships for interested students.
In essence, where there's a will, there's a way. Be sure to take advantages of the wonderful resources that are available!
3. Music without lyrics is boring.
Yes, one might assume that because a piece of music isn't accompanied by dramatic lyrics, fog machines, neon costumes, plastic surgery, and loud flashing lights that it must be boring. But classical musicians will tell you just the opposite.
While pop and folk music are often written with the same three chords and simple rhymes, I would almost argue that because pop music is "boring" in it's composition, it's easier to listen to. (Note: I am in no way arguing that classical music is "better" than pop music; the two simply serve different purposes and audiences.)
Unlike most pop music, classical music is composed with the richest of harmonic variations, the widest array of instrumentation, multiple melodies in one piece, and an incredible range of motion, tempos, and dynamics within a single composition. I believe that this is the reason why classical concert-goers sit silently while viewing and listening to a live orchestra; there are so many nuances in the music requiring focus and concentration to absorb. This is the opposite of boring–in fact, it's both captivating and stimulating for the mind!
4. All classical music sounds the same.
I don't even know where to begin with this one. [Utterly ridiculous? Anyone?] To say that all classical music sounds the same is like saying all Asians look the same. There is so much variation and personality provided by individuals within a culture and pieces within a genre of music. Listen to Stravinky's Rite of Spring and Ralph Vaughan Williams' The Lark Ascending to hear a vast contrast.
5. Classical music is great for atmospheric background music.
I recently had a horribly memorable experience sitting through extremely loud, staticy rendition of Vivaldi's Four Seasons being forced down my ear canal while waiting on hold. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think classical music sounds its best from the receiver of a telephone.
As far as other background music goes, I absolutely 100% support the use of live classical music performed incidentally at receptions, parties, and other gatherings. Likewise, some classical music is wonderfully appropriate to play over the speakers in a store or restaurant. But again, I reference point number four. With the wrong set list, you may have guests or customers nodding off in their seats or running for the doors as Medea's Meditation and Dance of Vengeance by Samuel Barber blares down from above.
To be continued!

People ride the Skyhawk at Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky. The ride has been closed indefinitely after a cable snapped, injuring two visitors. Cedar Point spokesman Bryan Edwards says a cable on one of the Skyhawk ride's carriages disconnected late Saturday.
SANDUSKY REGISTER Enlarge
SANDUSKY — A Cedar Point amusement park ride that swings riders as high as 125 feet has been closed indefinitely after a cable snapped, injuring two visitors.
Cedar Point spokesman Bryan Edwards said a cable on one of the Skyhawk ride's carriages disconnected late Saturday. One rider was treated at a hospital and released. The other person was treated at the scene, the park said.
Mr. Edwards said that as of 12:30 p.m. Sunday, the injured guest who was taken to a Sandusky hospital had been treated and released from the hospital.
The park indicates that a cable disconnected from the Skyhawk ride at about 10 p.m. Saturday.
It wasn't clear whether the injured people were riding Skyhawk or were on the ground when hurt. Skyhawk has two giant arms that swing riders up to 125 feet at speeds of up to 60 mph.
Mr. Edwards said the Skyhawk would remain closed until an investigation into the cause of the malfunction was completed.
He said the Skyhawk was closed for a period of time in 2013, but that closure was unrelated to Saturday night's malfunction.
Mr. Edwards said no further information regarding the malfunction or the injured guests was available Sunday night.
Cedar Point in Sandusky is the flagship park of Cedar Fair Entertainment Co.

We regularly eat here on Sunday. The big breakfast is always good and the omelets are good. In general find the toast too crispy so ask for lightly toasted and we prefer the fruit to the potatoes. Wish they had hash browns. Then current potatoes always greasy.
Nutmeg Grille is my favourite place for breakfast in the Torrington area. They have a great selection, the portions are generous, and the servers are friendly and efficient. I usually order eggs over easy with sausage and toast, which comes with a nice serving of home fries and whatever large sausages they have, maybe Italian. And of course coffee and... More
I have had breakfast on numerous occasion and never disappointed. The omelots areoverstuffed and their breakfast wraps are delicious. Prompt service and a coffee cup that is always filled is great way to start the day.
We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon while in the downtown area of Torrington. I was impressed to see how bright and clean the inside was. They have a very nice menu with many choices. Soups, salads, sandwiches and burgers were avlib on the menu, plus specials. There is a counter for seating also and they have a few flat... More
Ahead of the Nutcracker at Warner theater we stopped in for lunch. Again the Nutmeg doesn't disappoint. The Reuben was great and my son loved the generous chicken tenders.
This is a very good diner/casual restaurant/coffee shop. The menu was good and the actually cooked the corn beef hash the exact way I requested it. I was impressed. Cost is quite reasonable and having an autoparts store hardby is a plus for curbside minor maintenance.
They have great sandwiches and wraps. The service is always fast and friendly. Perfect lunch spot right in downtown Torrington.
This small restaurant had an excellent breakfast, first rate service, reasonable prices. Likely the best place in town for a restaurant that's not a chain breakfast.
I was a bit concerned after reading many negative reviews of Rick's as compared with the original owners about meeting a friend here for lunch this week. I an relieved to share our lunch was better than when the former owners held this establishment. The menu offers a good variety of soups, sandwiches, wraps and salads. Our lunches were delicious,...

I posted this on another php forum recently and would like to see the results here on sitepoint.
I've been a delphi coder for years and when switching to php I noticed that the format by many coders is different. In delphi anything seems to go but in php I noticed people use the following format a lot:
function name(){ function last(){ //Do something } }
I've always found that rather hard to read (EG It's hard to identify which closing brace belongs to which opening brace when you have a lot of them).
I've always coded my code like this:
function name() { function last() { //Do something } }
So, which do you use and why?
A all day... and for single-command if's and loops, I use inline formatting, e.g.:
if (true) doSomething();
instead of:
I just find it to be more efficient for navigation of the code, because it reduces total lines of code by about 10-30% - that's significant.
I prefer this style:
function doSomething() { if(true) { // multiple actions } if(also_true) simpleSomething(); }
Option C: I do what zalucius does.
Funnily enough, in Javascript I use A. Somehow it feels more natural in JS, but PHP it feels weird.Go figure.
In fact, I'm the opposite to you Scallio. I use A for PHP, but C for everything else. I don't know why, I just... do!
I use a different line for class and functions, but the same line on if, else, foreach parts.
function someFunc() { if (condition) { ... } }
In other words where possible, I try to follow the ZEND coding style
I use A, I can't stand B. Its not that anything is wrong with B I just can't it.
+1 lol
My full coding style:
<?php /** * Class Description */ class MyClass extends YourClass { const FOO = "foo"; const BAR = "bar"; private $variableName1; protected $variableName2; public $variableName3; public $children; /** * Constructor * @param $variableName1 int Description * @param $variableName2 int Description */ public function __construct($variableName1, $variableName2 = 2) { $this->variableName1 = $variableName1; $this->variableName2 = $variableName2; $this->children = new array(); } /** * This is my function description * @return int Whatever */ protected function internalFunction() { // Do Something Here } /** * Adds a child item to the class * @param $child variant Whatever */ public function addChild($child) { array_push($this->children, $child); } /** * Renders the output and prints to the page */ public function render() { // Start with some basic output $output = <<<HTML <div> <p>This is output attempt number {$this->variableName1} </p> </div> HTML; // Print our foo/bar status switch ($this->variableName2) { case self::FOO: $output .= "Some foo stuff"; break; case self::BAR: $output .- "Some bar stuff"; break; default: // No output } // Try to output children try { // Loop children and print each one foreach ($this->children as $child) { if (isset($child)) $output .= $child; } } catch (Exception $e) { // Output error message $output .= "oops!!! error!"; } // Print output print($output); } } ?>
This is a cop-out answer, but I follow the assigned coding standards of the project I'm working with.
My coding style matches the Zend formatting guidelines pretty much exactly, by coincidence. The only difference is that I use an indent of 2, not 4.
It depends... on single-line if(), while() etc. I put brace on the same line. On switch(), function(), class etc. I put brace on a new line.
I'm quite surprised because on the other site I ran this poll option B was slightly more preferred than option A.
I've always preferred B due to the ease of which you can see which code block you're inside of and where the opening and closing braces are etc. The inline option A has always annoyed me as I've never been able to understand it properly.
Keep voting!
With Option B and suitable indenting, you tend to have a clear line of sight from the start of a section its closing brace.
for ($i = 0; $i < $someLength; $i++) { if ($i < $someValue) { doSomething(); } else if ($i < $someOtherValue) { doSomethingElse(); } else { doSomeOther(); } }
Option A tends to result in the code taking up too much vertical space. You're good if you're paid by the line of code, but going from 9 lines to 15 lines for the same code, what does that achieve?
I am tempted to inquire whether people who prefer the above code might require an eye-glass for proper reading.
But to be more politic about it, we all have our reasons as to why we prefer our own ways.
A larger font works for me. :eye:
That's because you inadvertently exploited the other forums' post-parsing algorithm with just the right combination of code, memory, and timing necessary to throw one of the data mining bots from China into a Kafkaesque infinite voting loop...
True.Although I didn't see this particular option B before, that is with the opening and closing braces indented as well.
Here's what I stick to, not only with PHP, but with JS, Java, and C#.
function fname(){ if(something){ //... } else{ //... } }
Exactly like B, including the comments too. I do the same for Javascript.
I do the same for Javascript.
i also prefer this style
