Hey joonies,
Every so often – we get emails asking for advice or our opinion on a certain situation. Of course, this makes us feel great as sex wizards but — we don't always have the answer. A lot of times, we are still trying to figure out our own love lives and the best advice we can offer is what we've learned through our own experiences.
With that said, we received an email recently asking us for very specific advice. And because we aren't really sex wizards, we decided to open up the floor to our joonies – help a sista out:
Do Persian men ever marry non-Persian women?
Especially black women.
I am talking about a non-Muslim (he's Baha'i), Iran born, USA raised man.
Or do they only date people from another ethnicity with no intention of ever marrying them?
Background: I've known and been involved with him for about two and a half years. I've never met his family — who he lives with. I've asked him to be straight with me: is it because I am not Persian or the same religion? He claims no. He says that it's because once you meet them – then all the floodgates will open and his parents will keep asking when we are going to get married and have kids. I countered that by saying we will just have to explain to his parents that we are not ready for all of that yet especially, financially. To which he said that reasoning will fall on deaf ears.
So ladies, what do you think? Am I barking up the wrong tree with all Persian and Middle Eastern men? Clearly, some of them do marry outside of their race — shout out to Tehran SOParvaz. But, are the odds not in my favor? [Read more…]

5/30/2013 Lagunitas St. Francis Kite Race Report
Hosted by St Francis Yacht Club and Lagunitas Brewery.
Crissy Field San Francisco
The day started out looking like it might not be very windy but then about 4pm the wind kicked in pretty good but showed signs that it could drop off suddenly like it had the day before.
Most riders were on 9-11m kites and the Race course was F! which is different from most of the recent Thursday night races. It was a practice run for the upcoming North American Championship June 3-7th.
Race 1 went off well with the visiting Riccardo Leccese from Colombia taking 1st place followed by John Heineken in 2nd and Adam Koch in 3rd place.
Since the finish line was right off of Crissy field rather than down by the St Francis Yacht Club it made it easy for riders to come in and swap out kites as the wind began to drop a little.
Race 2 got off to a great start as the flood subsided and the ebb started on the inside. Several sailors including John Heineken were caught in a bubble of light air just above the starting line which set them back quite a bit. John ended up about 1/3 of the way back in the pack on the way up to the weather mark because of this setback but managed to pull off a bullet finish for the 2nd race.
Riccardo Leccese was close behind him for 2nd place and then local sailor Joey Pasquali finished 3rd.
Erika Heineken went screaming across the finish line with a very good 7th place finish just ahead of Adam Koch. Nice job!!
here are the overall results

December 19, 2012
NPR's "Shots" blog examines how "[o]pportunists who market street drugs may be undermining the global struggle against AIDS," writing, "In South Africa, two mainstay HIV drugs have found their way into recreational use." According to the blog, "[p]eople with HIV who smoke so-called whoonga -- an illicit concoction of an AIDS medication and a street drug, like marijuana or heroin -- can develop mutant strains of the virus resistant to the medication," or "people can become infected with a strain of HIV that came from someone who used whoonga."
"'One large study showed 3 to 5 percent of people with HIV were coming in with pre-treatment resistance' to antiretroviral drugs used to treat HIV, [said] Dr. David Grelotti ..., a Harvard School of Public Health researcher who co-authored a commentary on the phenomenon in the Lancet Infectious Diseases published Tuesday," the blog notes. "Recreational use of HIV drugs isn't altogether new, though it hasn't had much attention," "Shots" writes, noting, "Some media reports documented illicit use of HIV drugs in South Africa as long ago as 2009." The blog adds, "Aside from the resistance problem, illicit use of HIV drugs poses other dangers," as "recreational use can make legitimate users of these drugs, and the clinics that dispense them, targets of thieves and violent crime" (Knox, 12/18).

'Sly Cooper' Trailer: Sony Is Bringing the PlayStation Game Icon to the Big Screen
Video game movies are going to be the next big thing. Sure, every movie studio in Hollywood is going to keep churning out as many comic book movies as their contracts with Marvel and DC will allow, but eventually audiences will grow a tad tired of seeing new superhero movies trying to out spectacle one another every few months. And when they do, studios are going to have to turn their attention to another market with a built-in audience. And when they do, Sony will have the edge.
Unlike other studios, Sony has the benefit of owning the PlayStation and its several generation's worth of exclusive games to draw from. We already knew it had a Ratchet & Clank movie in the works, but it also been working on an adaptation of Sly Cooper, and even though it's not scheduled to hit theaters until a year after R&C, we've already got a teaser trailer for the film.
Written and directed by Kevin Munroe (TMNT), and developed by Rainmaker Entertainment (the Canadian studio that gave the world ReBoot, the first ever CGI animated TV series, as well as last year's Escape from Planet Earth), Sly Cooper tells the story of...
an orphaned raccoon thief, along with his childhood friends and partners in crime, Bentley Turtle and Murray Hippo. In the film, Sly learns of his birth family's secret legacy; that he comes from a long line of talented and international thieves.
Endowed with this knowledge, Sly and his friends are catapulted into a global adventure as they race to reassemble pieces of an ancient book holding The Cooper Clan's family secrets before it can fall into the hands of Clockwerk – an evil Russian metallic owl bent on ending the Cooper family line. From romantic Parisian backdrops to the lush mountains of China, gritty film noir meets bright, colorful graphic novels in this origin story of the world's greatest thief-turned-hero.
Now if you are a die-hard fan of the game series (which started way back in 2002 on the PlayStation 2), you may be bothered by some of the aesthetic changes here, but keep in mind we've still got another two years between now and its 2016 release, so there's plenty of time to tweak the character details along the way (just don't expect the film to switch to the cel shading style of the video game). The below trailer doesn't hint at any of the plot specifics above, so it looks like more of a proof of concept than anything. It doesn't look like the biggest animated movie ever made (Rainmaker isn't exactly working with Pixar levels of money), but we're guessing a movie about a raccoon and his thieving friends who cause plenty of mischief is going to be plenty popular with its target kids demographic.

Always Good: Classic Dishes to Celebrate the 4th
There are times when you want dishes that are shiny and new, a little out of the ordinary. And then there are times when you want food that's familiar, that you know everyone will like, and makes you feel good just sitting down to eat it. In other words: classic. And that's exactly what we want this 4th of July.
• Barbecued Pork Burgers from Gourmet - We can't resist a good grilled burger, especially one with barbecue sauce dripping down the side.
• Best Old-Fashioned Burgers from The Bitten Word - We couldn't resist including this one too. These burgers are made on the stove top, but we guarantee you won't miss the grill.
• Best Marinated Kebabs from Jamie Oliver - The Naked Chef has recipes chicken, fish, and lamb, so take your pick!
• Grilled Salmon Fillets with Creamy Horseradish Sauce from Bon Appétit - Flaky fish with just a little soy sauce glaze sounds so good right now.
• Creamy Coleslaw from Epicurious - Simultaneously crunchy and creamy, this coleslaw hits the spot.
• Basic Potato Salad from Martha Stewart - Nuthin' but mayo and white wine vinegar. Thanks, Martha.
• Best Baked Beans Ever from the Pioneer Woman - We're pretty sure it's the eight strips of bacon that go on top of these beans that make them the best ever.
• Grilled Corn on the Cob from Fine Cooking - Fantastic on its own, or dress it up elote-style with mayo, lime juice, spices, and cheese.
• Strawberry Shortcake on Biscuits from Simply Recipes - Accept no substitutes. We love the way the biscuits soak up just a little of the strawberry juice, but the edges still manage to stay crispy.
• Classic Lemonade from the Food Network - Nothing quenches thirst quite like it.
What will you be making - and eating - this 4th of July?

Seib & Wessel: Obama Wants New Conversation
WSJ's David Wessel and Janet Hook say President Barack Obama's recent speeches on the economy are trying to change the subject – to focus on lifting the middle class over the long term, rather than dwell on short-term deficit cutting and partisan fights.
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
the ... Chile to present Obama tried to change the subject from ... IRAs scandals from bin gauzy from surveillance to the economy back where we started ... I also tried to change its frame the debate you try to save us not talk anymore most of talk so much about ... deficits austerity versus stimulus let's talk about what makes economy grow ... ten or twenty years down the road ... who was with these is talking points or is this an agenda setter so I think he's friends with data ... that do two things here one is former one substance ... the form is that that Brock Obama seems a lot more comparable campaigning than governing ... and this was really like a campaign rally ... and I love the fact he went to Knox College in Lenoir weather no students because it's the summer and somehow managed to ward off the table we could be surrounded by to ... listen to this hour in six minute speech ... I'm but I think the substance and I think he's frustrated that ... the future the American middle class is really not gonna turn in some of them and it's it's being discussed in Washington and ... he seems to have decided that he can use the bully pulpit to change the subject ... and they told us that the White House this is the first of a series of speeches is gonna get more specific and ... yet I thought it was the president should not just to say here so we are tired of this fall but to say here's my second terms about him in a nutshell if you call an hour long speech in the charter did not reach that zone ... um it was everything in a ... unified whole it was so um let's ... let's ... do things that make the ConAgra let's help the middle class ... immigration helps along the way wrist reform helps because it provides more workers to pay for entitlement programs ... and that's really important ... and aam ... healthcare it is one of the way she makes middle-class more secure so was that to me it was like this is the second term agenda finely and in one package that struck me that was less an agenda setting speech ... as a Coda setting speech ... did you know that the numbers about the economy better than anybody ... at this ... point we can step back and say ok American people how do we feel about the economy ... and MLP typically as a politician can go too far with the things are better than they were when I first ... came to office ... but you know going into the fall he really is what he wants to do on the hilly isn't ... tell Congress what to do but to set the mood for what's the next challenge what's the next chapter of the fiscal debate can look like ... and you know the Republicans really skinny coming cut spending ... aam but he wants to kind of ... look at the economy is awful so good cheers from the Democratic left ... Alliance folks in middle class wages as a populist raw tacos or ... um but ... will the Republicans just dismiss this I mean it does mean is that an Easter egg without the top of insiders they think it or do they have sometimes ... ah ... well I think they ... should Obama speeches they just simply dismiss any date the ... bidders stamp and create the kind cliche of ... when you have all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail in an Obama stammer is his ability to see it so that only knows how to do ... on and so I I don't think the Republicans have a counter strategy specifically for the speech making they they they were dismissing this beach before you can get it right but what about for getting the economy moving faster resume ... with the US well middle-class with their agenda is about as tried and then as Obama signed into a relaxing other first I do with the majority for the economy dealers to that ... of the Keystone pipeline reckon that this will ... create jobs and at least two hundred regulatory reform have the guts and energy policies they're promoting ... on tax reform ... and so that it's not like they got a whole and new ideas that could put up against Obama is not new ideas

Thanks to Ray, WB3ABN for an off-line heads up on how the UPS loads the generator. Further surfing on the APC web site recommends sizing the generator to 3-5 times the load and/or reducing sensitivity of the UPS. Fortunately all my UPS models can be tweaked thru software to reduce sensitivity. All that now has to be done is test a cold weather start of my generator tomorrow and try the desensed UPS. And if it works, we'll have a ham situation where desense is a good thing. -----Original Message----- From: firstname.lastname@example.com [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] On Behalf Of Alan Sent: December 17, 2007 11:52 PM To: email@example.com Subject: [amsat-bb] EMCOMM, Generators, UPS etc was Phase 4 versus Eagle Time for subject change folks. A question about "smoothing" A/C from a generator sufficiently to allow a UPS ( computer type such as an APC )to function. Does anyone have a DIY schematic for such as device? I've "Googled" and found many commercial power conditioners but they are expensive. Some more costly than a top of the line generator in the <$1000 range. Worse, if I were to replace my generator I have no guaranteed that the A/C output would be of high enough quality to charge and run a UPS properly without carry a UPS into the store and asking them to fire up their brand new generator. It would be nice to stay on the air and have computers running when the generator is down for a fuel refill and oil check or when it otherwise hiccups and shuts down unexpectedly. Here's the problem. All the UPS I have such as APC 750, APC 1050 and others don't work when powered by a generator. They "see" the A/C input as being sufficiently defective that they trip into battery backup mode immediately when they should be passing the A/C directly onto the protected devices and be recharging the battery. At our last field day we had 4 gas generators on site of varying vintage and make and price range. They ran our networked computers for contest logging, radios, rotators, coffee pots, and fluorescent lighting in the tents. We've done this for several years without a problem. The A/C quality is good enough for the PC power supplies and radios or the external radio power supplies. During FD2007 I decided to add a UPS for each of 3 computers and then found that they all failed. Testing after FD showed that the generators were the problem. We don't use laptops, which, with their internal batteries have their own built-in UPS when you run them on the AC adapter. We use old Pentium desktops because for the last 3 years in a row we have had severe WX overnight, operating tents get blown down, computers and radios get soaked etc. It's part of the fun of FD :-) The EMCOMM discussion reminded me that I should deal with this now and not wait for FD2008. Also I should be prepared all year, not just for FD, to run my house, radios and computers in an emergency environment. Recent ice storms in the U.S. with a million folks without power for a day or two reminded me of the ice storm in Quebec several years ago when tens of thousands lost power for weeks. Welcome to global warming and volatile WX. As usual it is a case of "not IF; but WHEN". BTW, I've shown my support for AMSAT, the executive et al by renewing my membership to a Life Time membership prior to all the QRM in the last week. I would rather have made a separate donation but up here in the Great White North we don't get a tax deduction for a U.S. not-for-profit :-( 73, Alan VE4YZ EN19 AMSAT LM 2352 http://www.mts.net/~ve4wsc/ AMSAT A-485 -----Original Message----- From: firstname.lastname@example.com [mailto:email@example.com] On Behalf Of Nate Duehr Sent: December 17, 2007 7:31 PM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Phase 4 versus Eagle MKM wrote: > Forget the EMCOMM support, that does not make sense anymore.

This service will be coming from U.S. carriers who wouldn't even put battery/generator backup on most of their wireless POP's until told to do so by the FCC after Katrina: <http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2007/Dec/10/fcc_ruling_may_spur _generator_demand.html> Even with the new ruling, the FCC only recommends that such sites operate for 8 hours on emergency power. In other words, they don't expect the cellular companies to REFUEL those generators in any timely fashion. I worked for a large co-location company a few years ago, and we had a diesel contract that was VERY expensive. I talked to the truck driver once, and he told me that the order of his stops in bad weather/disaster situations would have been: Denver Health Medical Center - the alive ones at the hospital. Denver Police Headquarters and the Jail facility - the troublemakers, keep them inside. Denver Morgue - if it's warm out, you don't want the dead ones thawing and you probably have outdoor triage and refrigeration going on if things aren't quite as bad as Katrina. Denver Library - Security. Historical items. Our data center. Another route for another truck included the telco central office (Denver Main), and the "telco hotel" next door, as it's only customers that truck would serve. As long as the outage lasted, those truck wouldn't leave their "circular" routes which were planned to arrive just as generators were running out of fuel in a continuous loop. Any delay and we (being at the bottom) would either fall off the list, or they'd make arrangements to skip the library. That was his route with the diesel truck. He would run around in circles and do it all again, if the problem lasted for multiple days. . Cell sites? Nope. WiMax sites? No way. Reality bites: Cell carriers don't pay to be on priority diesel contracts. Diesel deliveries to cell sites are on "best effort" contracts. They fall below everyone else with priority contracts. Good luck with your WiMax as an EmComm tool. Let us know how well it serves you when the power goes out and the diesel trucks can't get to all those new generators at all the WiMax and cell sites Nate WY0X _______________________________________________ Sent via email@example.com.

Real-World Review
2014 Toyota Corolla S: Real World Review
The Toyota Corolla is redesigned for the 2014 model year to offer new features and a totally new look inside and out. The most striking version of the newly updated Corolla is the sporty S model, which features striking wheels and unique design traits. How is the 2014 Toyota Corolla S on the road? We spent a week behind the wheel of the sporty trim level to find out.
"S" Isn't for Sport
To start, it's important to understand that we generally liked the Corolla. We appreciated its fuel economy, its interior and its new look, all of which we'll cover in more detail below. But if you're searching for sportiness with the purchase of your Corolla S, you're barking up the wrong tree.
Here's what we mean: Although nearly everyone who drove the car agreed that the Corolla S offers bold, sporty styling, the car simply doesn't perform like a sport model should. As noted by one tester, Kris, "this is still a commuter car -- and nothing more." And he's right: Once you get past its exterior changes, the sporty Corolla S offers little more than an LE model, right down to the same 132-horsepower 1.8-liter engine and continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).
So What?
Despite the S model's lack of actual sport, we're impressed with it. One major reason is styling: While it may not pack any extra punch under the hood, the Corolla S looks far better than its LE stablemate. Our editor, Brian, especially confirms this, noting that the S model "looks cooler than the Civic, Focus, Cruze and Elantra," but that the LE is "a huge step down." Those are strong words, especially considering that just $700 separates the LE's $19,000 base price with shipping from the S model's $19,700 base MSRP.
Under the Skin
Beyond the styling, we've also found ourselves impressed with the latest Corolla in general. One tester, Sadie, said that the sedan offers "smooth, responsive acceleration and handling," while Brian noted that the car boasts a "generous back seat." Other accolades include a nice, thick steering wheel, comfortable seats, and multiple comments about the car's smooth ride and quiet cockpit.
The Corolla's interior also drew a lot of comments from our testers. While earlier Corolla models have used fairly typical compact-car interiors, the 2014 Toyota Corolla deviates from the norm. Instead of a nondescript dashboard and a functional-but-dull center console, the 2014 Corolla goes for a flat, tiered control stack that makes the car's interior a lot more memorable.
While this layout strikes me as odd, nearly everyone who drove the car for the first time disagreed. One tester, Tommy, called out the dashboard for its "flat and boxy" appearance but noted that it "works for this car." That sentiment was echoed by another driver, Ben, who noted that he "LOVED the interior dash layout." No matter your opinion, it's certainly a striking change that may shock you if you've had experience with earlier Corolla models.
We like the Corolla's back seat, its exterior styling, its driving experience and its interior -- and most of us like the dashboard styling. Aside from the lack of any real sport to go with its S trim level, is there anything that we don't like about the Corolla?
Interestingly, we couldn't agree on any major complaints. A few drivers suggested that they didn't like the color of our test car: an eye-grabbing finish Toyota calls Blue Crush metallic. Brian and I, however, think the color choices -- including our test car's hue -- make the sedan look surprisingly expensive, especially when paired with the S model's wheels and upgraded front end.
Another complaint was leveled at the CVT automatic, which -- according to some of our drivers -- drones on too much, even for a CVT. Our tester Tommy, on the other hand, said he thinks that the CVT is "a good fit for this car," noting that he didn't realize the car even had a CVT until he checked the window sticker. We suspect most shoppers also won't mind the CVT, especially since it's instrumental in achieving the Corolla's highway fuel economy rating of 37 miles per gallon.
Our Take
As long as you don't buy the 2014 Toyota Corolla S expecting any sort of actual sporty driving abilities, we suspect you'll like this car. It offers a roomy interior, excellent styling, good fuel economy and a nice driving experience -- all things that most compact-car shoppers will likely value ahead of most other traits.

What's to live for? The price of wine continues to skyrocket, and Warren Buffett is now tweeting. What's next for us culturally? Bingo night at the Louvre?
Meanwhile, the criminal justice system insists on hammering on poor Lindsay Lohan. It's only a matter of time before her work suffers, and then who takes over as the freckled queen of American cinema? Leonardo DiCaprio? That's the obvious answer. Yes, I have issues with him as Gatsby, but more on that in a moment.
For now, I'll tell you what's to live for. Summer, that's what. The steering wheel is already slick with sunscreen, and it's time to start adding a little extra detergent to the wash, especially if you have active young boys in the house.
By the way, it's Teacher Appreciation Week at the kid's school, and my suggestion that we send along little bottles of airline booze seems to have fallen on deaf ears. I ask you, in the last lap of the school year, is there anything a teacher needs more? Skip the flowers, forget the cupcakes. Send martinis, in big crystal vases.
"I don't know who ever told you that you were funny," my wife says as I suggest this enlightened end-of-the-year teacher gift.
The sad part is I had to discover it for myself. My whole life has been a long journey of self-discovery. A lot of self-everything, in fact, if you really want to know. But you probably don't.
But I'll tell you, as we head into summer, the perfect teacher's gift would be this: a basket containing a good wine, maybe a DVD of her favorite movie, some serious sunscreen, and the best summer book of all time, "The Great Gatsby."
What's so great about "Gatsby"? Everything.
"He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God."
I reread it almost every June, the way some nerds read "The Iliad" in Greek, or other nerds read the scores of Beethoven symphonies.
That's the way I read "Gatsby." In it, I hear the same soothing rhythms of baseball, or the soft poundings of Long Island Sound.
It's a slender novel. You could almost memorize it and recite it at dinner parties, where everyone would hate you. But later, on the ride home, you know the other guests would be thinking, "Did he really recite 'The Great Gatsby'? All in one breath, no punctuation? Between dinner and dessert? What a tool."
In the words of Charles Bukowski, the "libraries of the world have yawned themselves to sleep" on most of the stuff you should've read in high school and college, or most of the stuff you chatter about at dinner parties.
And then there's "Gatsby."
You'll hear a lot about the movie this weekend, and you'll maybe see it and talk about it, and wonder what's the big fuss. You'll blame DiCaprio, who seems a poor fit as America's ultimate leading man, no matter what he thinks of himself personally.
I can't help but think back to the recent cover story in Esquire, where the writer tried so hard to justify DiCaprio as a major national icon, as a fitting Gatsby, that you could smell the perspiration on the page.
So what you should really do is grab the book. Roughly. By the neck.
As reading nooks go, the Beverly Hills Hotel isn't ideal but it'll do. A nook should be in the corner of a big Victorian in Atlanta, or Grand Rapids, or Seattle. The lighting should be natural, through a pane of hundred-year-old glass, and the lick of a nearby fireplace won't hurt.
Minus that, the Beverly Hills Hotel has the proper gravitas for Gatsby, a shared sense of greatness, of longevity, of things well made. As adopted mansions go, I like the downtown Biltmore too.
Point is, you can pick your reading spot. A bluff by the beach will do. A corner of your favorite old bookstore (if you can still find an old bookstore). Or a little spot under a major tree.
And settle in with what is really America's greatest romance novel — this ode to summer, this ode to yearning, this ode to eternal love.
Meanwhile, thanks for everything, teach.
Love, Gatsby.

Thornely shores up Leicestershire
Leicestershire 199 for 6 (Thornely 97) v Glamorgan
Opener Michael Thornely fell three runs short of his maiden County Championship century on his Leicestershire debut on the opening day of their Division Two basement battle against Glamorgan at Cardiff.
Thornely - released by Sussex last season and only playing today because Matthew Boyce twisted an ankle in the morning warm-up - batted solidly for much of the day as the visitors closed on 199 for 6, having been 137 for 1.
Leicestershire won the toss and made a good start - but they did not have it their own way on an easy-paced Cardiff wicket. The visitors were going well but lost 4 for 33 runs in 20 overs either side of tea before Thornely went six overs before the close.
James Harris, the England Lions seam bowler who was playing his first game of the season after recovering from a groin injury, claimed one of those wickets while Jim Allenby finished with 2 for 21 from 17 overs against his former county.
Glamorgan went into the match having lost five of their six completed matches. In a bid to kick-start their season, former county captain Ossie Wheatley - a veteran of the club's Championship-winning side of 1969 - gave the side a pre-match talk on the outfield.
It was a useful toss to win for Ramnaresh Sarwan, deputising as Leicestershire captain in the absence of flu victim Matthew Hoggard. On the benign pitch Leicestershire reached lunch at 73 for 1 without too many scares. The only wicket to fall was Greg Smith who went leg before wicket playing across the line to a straight Allenby delivery. Until that point Smith had looked untroubled, taking 11 off an over from Harris.
Thornely made a useful Leicestershire debut, reaching his 50 after lunch from 126 balls with three fours as Leicestershire hit three figures in the 45th over. The visitors were looking in complete control until the second wicket partnership between Thornely and Eckersley was ended just before tea.
Harris, in his 12th over, pinned back Eckersley's off-stump. That began something of a collapse as Leicestershire went from 137 for 1 to 157 for 5. After tea Waters had Sarwan caught behind before two overs later Allenby broke through the defences of Josh Cobb, who went for an eight-ball duck.
Glamorgan had taken half Leicestershire's wickets when slow left-armer Dean Cosker trapped Jacques du Toit in front of the stumps. It meant four wickets had gone down for 33 runs in 20 overs.
And just before the close Thornely edged the second new ball to Allenby at first slip to give Waters his second wicket.

Erland Josephson, Bergman Star, Dead at 88
We were just talking about Scenes From a Marriage, too: The Swedish actor-writer-director Erland Josephson has died following a protracted battle with Parkinson's Disease. He was 88. Josephson came to prominence as a friend, theater colleague and eventual ensemble player for the great Ingmar Bergman, finally breaking into the leading-man ranks in the filmmaker's seminal relationship epic Scenes before eventually diversifying with roles in films by Peter Greenaway (Prospero's Books), Philip Kaufman (The Unbearable Light of Being) and, most indelibly, Andrei Tarkovsky, who cast Josephson in his 1986 masterpiece The Sacrifice. Very sad. R.I.P. [NYT]

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (May 22, 2011) - Record Timing this week officially released the list of declared athletes and their seeds for the NCAA East Regional for outdoor track and field, which include four ETSU athletes.
They come from both ends of the spectrum of ETSU Sprints, two seniors in their prime and two freshmen paving the way for the future. Seniors Mike James (Palm Bay, Fla.) and Jasmine Ingram (Frederick, Md.), as well as freshmen Ifrish Alberg (Paramaribo, Suriname) and Emani Harrison (Columbia, S.C.) will compete next weekend in Bloomington, Ind., representing ETSU and the Atlantic Sun.
James, who ran a second-place 13.92 in the 110-meter hurdles at the A-Sun Championships April 17 in Jacksonville, Fla., occupies the highest ETSU seed at No. 16. He is one of three A-Sun runners in the top 20, joining Campbell's Adoniss Jones (No. 17) and Kennesaw State's Kendall Parks (No. 10), who won the event in the conference final.
Alberg also set his qualifying mark in Jacksonville at 10.42 in the 100, which won gold in the event, remains the top A-Sun mark and stands at No. 35 in the region. He joins Rashad Campbell (No. 45) from Campbell as the only two A-Sun runners in the event.
Both women's qualifiers punched their tickets after the conference season.
Ingram did not wait long, breaking the school record with a 54.15 finish in the 400 at the Charlotte Invitational a week after taking fourth place at the conference championships. Her time ranks No. 36 in the region and No. 4 in the A-Sun, but she is the only conference athlete going to Bloomington.
For Harrison, it literally came down to the final day, her second-to-last effort of the season. Her personal and school record time of 11.63 in the 100 came in the Clemson Final Qualifier prelim, but it counts just the same. Her time is still second in conference behind Louise Kiernan's time that beat her in the conference final, but at No. 39 in the region, she is also the only A-Sun representative declared in her event.
Two men, two women, on the regional stage: A solid foundation for the future of ETSU Track and Field.
To follow the fantastic Buccaneer four at the Regional, check out Indiana University's Web site, iuhoosiers.cstv.com, for more on the regional preliminary. For more on the road from Johnson City to Bloomington, including an upcoming feature on Harrison, insight from all four athletes, and video coverage of their training, visit ETSUBucs.com all week before the three-day event starts next Thursday.

I will begin to share some thoughts about my recent training visit to Okinawa.
I first trained with Sensei Katsuhiko Shinzato in 2002. He visited me in Hawaii twice since then. My recent visit was thus my fourth time training with him.
No matter how much I train and try to keep up, there is no way that I will be in sync with the students who regularly train at his home dojo. Each time I train, Sensei teaches or emphasizes new things and I then work on these and other matters until I see him again. It is natural that I will progress somewhat in my own way -- at least until my next training.
Well, this visit was like my previous three experiences -- after the first day I was already confused and suffered from "brain freeze." What I mean by this is that the conflict between what I understood (or thought I understood) and what Shinzato Sensei was teaching (or emphasizing) caused my brain to overload and shut down. I could follow along but not absorb very much.
Thank goodness for video and Sensei's permission to take it. In the weeks and months following my earlier training sessions, I watched the videos I had taken many times. I must have watched certain sequences dozens of times. I picked up many things that I had missed during training because of "brain freeze."
Let me put it another way. Let's say that your mind can absorb 3 things in a day's worth of training. After those 3 things, everything else will be ignored or missed. When I meet with Shinzato Sensei, I think I often learn 10 or more things in just a few hours. I am not taking about kata or techniques -- I am talking about movement principles. I am very lucky if I can learn and absorb even 3 things!
And I notice that this gets worse as I grow older. I will be 50 this year. I have students who can learn many things very easily. As I grow older, I think I learn things in a deeper way but cannot learn as many things in a short time.
There may be other words to describe it, but I have grown to recognize when "brain freeze" sweeps over me like a thick blanket. There really is no way to avoid it. The best thing is to just relax and go along. There will be time to review the footage later.
Sometimes, even if your brain is frozen, your body might be able to learn. I try to follow along and let my body take the lead. Sometimes, this leads to amazing results. In my case, my brain is my main problem -- I overthink. When my mind is spent, there have been times when my body seemed to move on its own. I think that Sensei might say that my koshi was moving on its own.
However you say it, relaxing the mind is as important as relaxing the body. Explanations tend to be complicated. Moving tends to be pretty simple -- or at least involves a set of simple principles.
Shinzato Sensei often says that you cannot move freely when your mind is fixed.

Rochester Institute of Technology's School of Film and Animation is once again partnering with The Little Theatre to present the third-annual "RIT Faculty Speaker Film Series," beginning at 6 p.m. this Monday, Jan. 21, with the recent Golden Globe Award-winning thriller, Zero Dark Thirty.
RIT professor and filmmaker Skip Battaglia, whose work in animated shorts and films spans more than two decades, will introduce the film and lead a discussion afterward. Tickets for the screening are $5 as part of "The Little Theatre's $5 Mondays."
RIT Faculty Speaker Film Series discussions are structured so both casual movie viewers and film enthusiasts alike have the opportunity to exchange ideas and learn more about the motion pictures in the series. The goal is to gain a better understanding of films, with behind-the-scenes stories and experiences or general analysis.
The series continues monthly through May.
Battaglia's animations provide a type of personalized cartoon argument. "At a time when it is so easy to make a realistic image with photography and video and computer, the hand drawing of a motion picture can be regarded as an act of criticism," he says.
He has received grants for his animations from the New York State Council on the Arts, The National Endowment for the Arts, the American Film Institute and a Fulbright grant to teach animation at the University of Guadalajara, Mexico. In addition to teaching courses in scriptwriting for animation, digital audio production, film history and criticism, and 16mm film production, Battaglia advises on graduate Master of Fine Arts theses.
His seven-minute animated film, Car Crash Opera, was shown a year ago as part of the film series, marking the eighth worldwide premiere of his animated short films since 1987.
About Zero Dark Thirty
For a decade, an elite team of intelligence and military operatives, working in secret across the globe, devoted themselves to a single goal: to find and eliminate Osama bin Laden. Zero Dark Thirty reunites the Oscar-winning team of director-producer Kathryn Bigelow and writer-producer Mark Boal (The Hurt Locker) for the story about history's greatest manhunt for the world's most dangerous man.

It is that time of year again. No, not time for spring cleaning but time for another election. We all have seen the political yard signs all over the City. I personally like political yard signs when used properly. It shows support for a candidate from the person or family who live on the property.
But in the last few years some candidates seem to use them more for yard art on vacant lots and empty houses than in a registered voter's property.
With all of the signs out there you would think everyone would take time to vote but unfortunately the opposite is more the norm.
I think part of the problem with lack of voter turnout is the fact there are too many elections in some years. There has been discussion in the state legislature to move spring elections to the fall to coincide with the general and county elections.
I hope our state elected leaders will act on this and make it happen. This change would not only make it easier to remember to vote but would also save cities and schools a lot of money by not having their own election.
This coming Tuesday, April 2, you need to take the time to vote. We have school board, college trustees and two city commissioners to vote for. District 382 school board and the PCC trustees are uncontested but the next two city commissioners will be decided from a group of four.
By now, we all should have read the profiles of the city commission candidates. If you have not done so, take the time and go back and read them online at www.pratttribune.com. It is helpful to know where the candidates stand on particular issues.
The Pratt Tribune staff asked some good questions and got very different answers from the candidates. One candidate says "Pratt's economy is in the toilet".
Other candidates see all the growth Pratt is experiencing and want to continue supporting the growth.
Another candidate wants to stop the City from supporting housing development and investing in Pratt's future and claims the City has too much so called "debt".
Other candidates see that Pratt has a well put together budget that other communities only dream of having and are willing to invest in Pratt's infrastructure to insure a better place for our future.
Candidates have the right to give their opinion on different issues when campaigning, but the people who vote also should know the facts and not be misled on important issues that affect them, especially when it comes to their pocket book.
It is important for you to know the City of Pratt's financial condition is excellent. Every year records are broke for sales tax collection and the so called motel tax (transient guest tax). This proves that Pratt is doing everything right for business growth and promoting Pratt in general.
Pratt's economy is certainly not "in the toilet" as some would say and how much can the City invest in itself to make Pratt a better place for our future? I guess that is for you to decide.
This Tuesday, April 2, you will decide who will represent you for city, school and college elected officials. Take the time to know where they stand. Do they have a personal agenda? Are they mad at the City for prior events that happened to them? Are they looking out for your best interest?
Find out. Let your voice be heard and take the time to vote.
Eric Nystrom is a former mayor and Pratt City commissioner.

Leann Rhimes and Eddie Cibrian
Singer Leann Rimes and actor Eddie Cibrian exchanged personalized vows April 22 in an intimate ceremony at a private residence in California. The relationship started with a bit of a scandal when Rhimes and Cibrian met on the set of the Lifetime movie "Northern Lights." The rumored romance caused a media blitz, as both were married at the time. Eventually, the buzz died down, and the two became engaged in December 2010.

The best method for currently installing KDE on Mac is to use either Macports or Fink to build at least the system requirements and then also install their stable KDE, or build your own development KDE using on top of their base.
You can find out more information on the KDE on MacPorts page.
Variables must be set to build KDE successfully, and are noted below
export PATH="/opt/qt4/bin:/opt/kde4/bin:/opt/kde4-deps/bin:~/.local/bin/:$PATH"
export CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/kde4-deps/lib"
export CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH="/opt/kde4-deps/include"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/qt4/lib/:/opt/kde4-deps/lib/pkgconfig/"
You might want to put those in your ~/.bash_profile
The following third party tools are required for successfully building KDE on OSX. Also, here are some good tips for installing from source. I assume you have OS X 10.5 or 10.6 installed, otherwise you would have some more dependencies.

kdelibs must be checked out of svn locally to be built:
cd ~/kde4.build

And then compiled by performing the following:
mkdir kdelibs.build
cd kdelibs.build

5-week-old puppy stolen from home, police say
5-week-old puppy stolen from home, police say
AUBURN, Mass. —
A woman is accused of stealing a 5-week-old puppy from a Massachusetts home early Monday.
Police said Amanda Millot, 25, of Worcester, went to the home on Blaker Street in Auburn because she was interested in buying the American bulldog puppy.
When puppy's owner left the room, police say Millot grabbed the pup and ran to an awaiting vehicle.
A short time later, Millot was found with the puppy at a residence on Vincent Avenue in Worcester.
Milott was arrested on an outstanding arrest warrant for unrelated charges and also charged with larceny over $250.
The puppy was later claimed by its owner.

Conservatives need to get over President Barack Obama. It's time to adjust to a world in which he is never going to be on the ballot again.
Conservatives need to get over President Barack Obama. It's time to adjust to a world in which he is never going to be on the ballot again.
That's going to require a big change in the psychology of Republicans both in Washington and around the country. They disagree with Obama's policies. They see in his personality narcissism untempered by warmth. They find his lectures irritating, and resent his soft press coverage.
They spent four years trying to discredit him with the public. They need to accept that they failed.
It's still in Republicans' interest for the public to turn on Obama, as it was in Democrats' interest for the public to turn on President George W. Bush the way it did in his second term. But if that happens, it will be because Obama's health-care plan becomes an undeniable failure, or the economy gets worse, or events overseas make his foreign policy look naive. It won't be because Republicans keep denouncing him.
Republicans can and should continue to stand for their principles on the many occasions when they conflict with Obama's. What they shouldn't do is conceive of their near-term political task as winning a series of confrontations with the president. Because they're unlikely to win very often. Obama has inherent advantages in political debates with more than 200 House Republicans, and his re-election will only strengthen his hand, at least for now.
The Republicans are better off sidelining Obama to the extent they can and fighting congressional Democrats — or, better yet, getting congressional Democrats to fight one another.
There are signs the party is beginning to understand this. John Boehner, the Republican speaker of the House, has said he will consider whatever gun legislation the Senate passes, putting the onus on Democrat Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader. The Senate has enough pro-gun Democrats — including, historically, Reid himself — to make it an open question whether an assault-weapons ban can pass the chamber. If it fails there, Boehner can get the policy result he wants without lifting a finger. Supporters of the ban would then be disappointed with Democrats rather than enraged by Republicans.
Republicans are making the same calculation on the budget. The House temporarily lifted the debt limit on Jan. 23 in return for making the Senate pass a budget, a legal obligation it hasn't met since 2009. Speaking for other Democratic senators, Charles Schumer of New York says they will comply. This year, then, Democrats won't be able to just take shots at Republican spending cuts. They will have to pass and defend the taxes and deficit spending contained in their own plan. Then they will have to take that bill to conference with the House bill.
Obama will, of course, have a strong influence on those negotiations. But he will be outside the room, and he won't be the main subject of the news stories. When Congress uses its regular procedures to legislate instead of setting up high-stakes talks with the president, its members make him a less important figure.
The president's liberal inaugural address furthers the Republican strategy of shrinking his presence in the congressional debate. Pundits said he had "thrown down the gauntlet," but much of his agenda had little to do with congressional Republicans. Major changes on climate policy will come from the federal bureaucracy, not Congress, and everyone knows it. Measures recognizing same-sex marriage will probably advance, but neither Congress nor the president will have much to do with them. The president's call for new gun laws is as much a challenge to his own party as to Republicans.
A strategy of disengagement from Obama won't yield great policy breakthroughs for conservatives. Yet neither will a strategy of confrontation. Republicans hold a minority share of power in Washington. They shouldn't conduct themselves in a way that gives their supporters excessive hope. And they shouldn't give themselves a disproportionate share of ownership in the mostly dismal results of national politics.
The less they define themselves as an anti-Obama party, the more Republicans will avoid a pitfall that conservative pollster David Winston has identified: The public sees hostility as playing a more important role than principle in Republicans' opposition to Obama. A party that aspires to governing the country should avoid looking petty.
There are limits to how far this strategy can be pursued. Obama is going to be president for four more years, after all, and Republicans will sometimes be duty-bound to work with him and more often to criticize his actions.
At the same time, they should keep in mind that it's more important to build a post-Obama future for conservatism. That future will probably be led by a governor who has played little part in any of Washington's battles between Republicans and Obama.

Buttons: Dyed to Match!
A note from Kathleen: I'm lucky enough to get all of the dailies from Interweave every day. I spend the first 20 minutes of my day with a cup of coffee, reading all of the fantastic ideas from my colleagues, gathering inspiration for my crafting and sometimes for Knitting Daily!
This happened the other day when I saw a newsletter about dyeing buttons and embellishments to use on quilts and in mixed media projects. Cloth Paper Scissors Today editor Cate Prato and Quilting Daily editor Pokey Bolton got together and did a step-by-step tutorial, and I thought, "What about using this process to dye buttons for knitwear? I love it!"
Now you can get the perfect button every time—just dye it to match! Here's Pokey Bolton to show you how.
The Monday after Easter this year, I noticed Cloth Paper Scissors Today Editor Cate Prato brought dark red hard-boiled eggs in for lunch. Cate is Greek, and their tradition is to dye their Easter eggs a deep red.
I asked Cate how she gets them such a dark red and she said she uses dye imported from Greece. Then she added, somewhat conspiratorially, "But my grandmother used Rit."
Well, that was a surprise. I've never heard of anyone using Rit to dye eggs. On the other hand, Rit is non-toxic. And while I'm not suggesting you use it on foodstuffs, Rit is a safe, all-purpose, and easy alternative for craft dyeing.
It also so easy, I thought I'd share the basic dyeing process with you.
|White embellishments, ready for dyeing.
|White embellishments after being dyed teal.
Dyeing Buttons
Note: Rit dye is available both as a powder and a liquid. The liquid dye is already mixed and it's more concentrated than the powder. So, you only use half as much dye when working with the liquid version.
You will need:
- White buttons
- Muffin tin or painter's pallette
- Rit dye in the color of your choice
- Container for mixing
- Latex gloves
- Tweezers or an offset spatula and a skewer (for turning the buttons)
- Paper towels
- Large piece of corrugated cardboard
- Spray sealant, sometimes called "clear glaze"
1. Wearing latex gloves, measure and mix dye in a container.
2. Pour the dye solution into the cups of a muffin tin or painter's pallette.
3. Immerse the buttons in the dye solution, leaving them immersed for several minutes, or until the buttons are the color you want them to be. Use tweezers or an offset spatula and a skewer to turn the buttons a couple of times so both sides get colored.
4. Remove the buttons from the dye and rinse with water. Then wash the buttons with soap and water and rinse and dry with paper towels. Let buttons sit on paper towels to finish drying.
5. When the buttons are completely dry, place them on a piece of cardboard and spray them with the spray sealant, according to the directions on the sealant container. (Make sure you have adequate ventilation when using spray sealant.) When the buttons are dry, turn them over and seal the other side.
That's it! This process is easy and addictive. You could also dye bits and pieces to embellish a handmade bag, a pair of flip-flops, and other accessories. Just have fun!
As a multi-crafter, I just love getting inspiration like this. One of my favorite magazines for this purpose is Cloth Paper Scissors—try it today and get some fun ideas for your knitting projects!

"Real Housewives of Miami" star Joanna Krupa and Miami club impresario Romain Zago are on again, again.
The pair's rocky relationship has been the subject of many episodes of the Bravo show this season, and three and a half weeks ago, they called it quits after being engaged for five years.
But Krupa came to The Post's Midtown office today wearing her enormous engagement ring and says that, as of two days ago, the engagement is back on.
"The thing that got us back together was my mom," Krupa says. "My mom saw how much I was hurting. I needed the Joanna time but I was calling her crying from Skype.
"She said, 'You are in too much pain. You guys need to work s–t out.'
"I kinda wanted to prove a point to him that he got away too easy with the e-mails, and I don't want it to happen again."
Zago and Krupa are seen fighting on "Real Housewives" over e-mails he sent to another woman.
Krupa also blames a failed work project for tension in the relationship.
"In the last year, there was a project I was working on that fell through. I was working on it for over a year and a half. It would have been one of the biggest things in my life, and it fell through and that totally affected the relationship. I didn't really want to go to Miami or to see him, I was just in my own zone. That would've broken us up if we didn't have this strong love for each other."
But now the couple is looking ahead to a wedding in 2013 or 2014 in Positana, Italy. And after being broken up for Thanksgiving, they plan to spend the holidays together in Vail, Co.
In other "Housewives" relationship news, Karent Sierra told The Post she has broken up with her telenovela-star boyfriend Rodolfo Jimenez.
"I think love is blind, and as much as our friends and family want to guide us and say, 'Open up your eyes,' I think that you need to be ready within yourself," she says.
"I finally took the blinders off and stopped seeing things through rose-colored glasses. When I started seeing him played back on TV, I was seeing what other people were seeing — his reaction to me particularly — I was like, 'Oh gosh, I really don't like him!'"
"Real Housewives of Miami" airs Thursday nights at 9 on Bravo.

Description of 60 Meeting Street, Charleston, SC 29401
A Charleston Landmark - Imagine, within the walls of the four-story mansion situated at the northeast corner of Tradd and Meeting Streets, a Pre-Revolutionary structure exists. William Ellis, a Charleston merchant, built that three-story structure in the mid eighteenth century. Bertram Kramer, a Charleston building contractor, who acquired the property in 1884, transformed the house in high Victorian taste. Imagine, a renovation by Mr. Kramer including the addition of a full fourth floor encased in a mansard roof with a conical peak. Enlarging every window, widening the front door, addition of a Moorish arch and iron balconies on the second floor as well as bay windows, dripstone cornices and a heavy bracketed house cornice. A roof garden added to the north wing described in Charleston Come Hell or High Water as a place where "delightful summer evenings were spent there catching the freshening breezes from both river and enjoying the serenity of its "heavenly" location." Imagine, the forethought so long ago to create such desirable, functional living space and amazing views of Meeting Street, the surrounding rooftops and steeples of the Old Walled City. A 360-degree panoramic vista rarely encountered South of Broad. Rooms of notable history and substantial scale bathed in amazing light. Rooms that function well for todays living... be that entertaining on a grand scale or creating a legacy family home. Imagine, a home that meets the needs of discriminating homeowners, steps from Historic District amenities, schools, churches, parks and the Battery: Imagine, Sixty Meeting Street, an exquisite home for all occasions.

For my own part, I am pleased enough with surfaces -- in fact they alone seem to me to be of much importance. Such things for example as the grasp of a child's hand in your own, the flavor of an apple, the embrace of friend or lover, the silk of a girl's thigh, the sunlight on rock and leaves, the feel of music, the bark of a tree, the abrasion of granite and sand, the plunge of clear water into a pool, the face of the wind -- What else is there? What else do we need?I quote Edward Abbey, that cranky secular saint of the American West, from Desert Solitaire. I love reading Abbey. Love his gruff humor, his six-pack passion for nature, his take-no-prisoners conservation ethic. And when he praises surfaces -- well, I know where he's coming from. I love surfaces too, the matte, semi-gloss and gloss of things, the taut and texture and paint-chip colors. The cool and the warmth. The touch of lips on skin. One could spend a lifetime surfing the surface of the world, skimming the lap and ebb of things, without ever giving a fig for what lies beneath the waves.
But that's not me. I want to know. I want to know what makes the world tick. I want to see in my mind's eye the dance of the DNA, the winding and unwinding, the spinning of proteins. I want to visit the fiery inferno at the center of the Sun where protons fuse and photons flash into existence. I want to imagine the bacteria propellering through my blood, dinosaurs tromping Jurassic soil, and black holes at the centers of galaxies gobbling stars. Is that too much to ask? To have the surfaces and innards too?
Surfaces are arbitrary. They are defined by our senses, those narrow windows through which we view the world. The fox's surfaces are different from my own. The ant lives in a world of scent I'll never experience. Curiosity pries open the windows, knocks down the doors. What else is there? Everything. What else do we need? We need it all.

Rotation has good week to fuel Giants' fine start
Normalcy must have returned to AT&T Park because manager Bruce Bochy is joking again about the stress these close games are placing on his heart, which, like the rest of him, turned 59 on Wednesday.
All those home runs in the first week were fun, but they were not Giants baseball, which is predicated on the manner of pitching the team displayed in its third and latest turn through the rotation.
The starting five had a 2.97 ERA after Ryan Vogelsong righted himself and allowed one run over six-plus innings in a 2-1 victory over the Dodgers, which clinched a winning homestand and the Giants' second series victory this season against their ancient rivals.
The 10-5 Giants went 4-1 during the rotation's third turn, all one-run games, all the victories enhanced by a bullpen that has a 0.63 ERA over the first eight games of the homestand. It ends Thursday with Madison Bumgarner on the mound.
Bochy offered a familiar thought when asked what the spate of one-run games has done for his boys.
"It gives you a lot of gray hairs," he said. "I guess that's what it does for us. That's our strength. It's been like that for years. It's good for the guys to know that every play, every pitch, counts. We're in a stretch where we're playing a lot of one-run games, and the guys have done a good job."
The pitching has had to step up because the offense has stepped down some from its heady start. Bochy fielded a lineup with three hitters below .200, none of them Vogelsong.
The Giants scored the winning run in the seventh inning when Dodgers manager Don Mattingly had left-hander J.P. Howell walk .183 hitter Hunter Pence to face .172 hitter Pablo Sandoval.
Sandoval looked foolish flailing at a first-pitch fastball away before he told himself to calm down. He then broke his bat on a changeup, golfing a single that seemed to travel to center field in slow motion as Joaquin Arias scored from second.
Sandoval's average is poor, but he has contributed some well-timed, bad-ball hits.
"He's one of those guys you can't really throw it bad enough," Mattingly said. "At some point he's going to put it in play somehow. He breaks his bat there, and it ends up being in the right spot."
Almost all of Vogelsong's 83 pitches hit their marks. He threw first-pitch strikes to 16 of 21 hitters. His two worst missteps were walking pitcher Paul Maholm with two outs in the sixth, paying the price when Dee Gordon hit an RBI triple, and unintentionally drilling Hanley Ramirez in the hand with a full-count fastball to start the seventh.
Vogelsong departed after an Adrian Gonzalez single, leaving two on and nobody out for Jean Machi. The righty struck out Matt Kemp. Then, with the bases loaded and one out, he threw a perfect splitter to Juan Uribe, who bounced back to Machi to start a home-to-first double play. Machi celebrated wildly.
"He saved our skin," said Bochy, who improved to 8-9 as a manager on his birthday - 9-9 if you count the Tuesday night win that did not end until after midnight.
And Bochy does.

I'm skeptical....
Quote from: denny on December 30, 2013, 04:51:39 PMI'm skeptical....To be totally honest, I am skeptical too Denny. The hops smelled good.... I have no reason to suspect/confirm that is the issue. I do think Saaz can be a funny hop and it is easy to overdo them. Just getting frustrated with my all my pilsners are suddenly bad. Just wondering if others have noticed any issues as I really don't know where else to look, and was taking a stab in the dark.I did think about getting a different batch to compare.... but I didn't. They were not organic (that I know of). They are through a very reputable dealer though..... I don't think that is it. I was more wondering if the acid levels were different last year or something like that.
Quote from: denny on December 30, 2013, 04:51:39 PMI'm skeptical....I would be, also, but I had a pound bag of German Select and after using about half of it, I realized that either the hops were bad or I just didn't like them. I went back to Magnum and no problem. Still not sure whether they went "bad" or were just not to my liking....but I wouldn't discount hop differences from year to year being noticeable in an award winning recipe from a brewer who brews that particular style very well. Last thought - could it also be a little of your palate changing? I know I have suffered palate fatigue and need to "reset" it by foregoing a style for a couple weeks. Just a few thoughts to consider.
I'd suggest oxidation as a potential culprit.
Where do you get your RO water? If its from home, you might have an issue with the unit. If its store-bought, you may try building up from distilled.When I think 'metallic' or 'astringent' in light beers, I usually point towards water profile (or conditioning on excessive amounts of yeast/trub).How are you checking pH? Meter or strips?

Now that a bipartisan coalition in the House has voted to repeal ObamaCare, an even larger bipartisan coalition has approved a Republican resolution directing four House committees to "replace" that ill-fated law. House Resolution 9 instructs the committees to "propos[e] changes to existing law" with the following goals:
- "Foster economic growth and private sector job creation by eliminating job-killing policies and regulations."
- "Lower health care premiums through increased competition and choice."
- "Preserve a patient's ability to keep his or her health plan if he or she likes it."
- "Provide people with pre-existing conditions access to affordable health coverage."
- "Reform the medical liability system to reduce unnecessary and wasteful health care spending."
- "Increase the number of insured Americans."
- "Protect the doctor-patient relationship."
- "Provide the States greater flexibility to administer Medicaid programs."
- "Expand incentives to encourage personal responsibility for health care coverage and costs."
- "Prohibit taxpayer funding of abortions and provide conscience protections for health care providers."
- "Eliminate duplicative government programs and wasteful spending."
- "Do not accelerate the insolvency of entitlement programs or increase the tax burden on Americans;" or
- "Enact a permanent fix to the flawed Medicare sustainable growth rate formula used to determine physician payments under title XVIII of the Social Security Act to preserve health care for the nation's seniors and to provide a stable environment for physicians."
Three things about the Republicans' "replace" effort:
First, America's health care sector has historically been handicapped by one political party committed to a policy of (mostly) benign neglect, and another party committed to degrading that sector's performance through government subsidies, mandates, price controls, and other exchange controls. Republicans now appear to be taking a different posture, and that's encouraging — but not entirely. When Republicans set their minds to reforming health care, they are often as bad as Democrats. (See the Republican "alternatives" to ClintonCare. Or Medicare Part D. Or #4-#7 above.) Exactly how House Republicans plan to deliver on the above goals remains to be seen.
Second, no matter how House Republicans plan to deliver on the above goals, their proposals will be preferable to ObamaCare. Republicans quite literally could not do worse if they tried.
Third, no matter how good the Republicans' proposals are, they will be utterly ineffective so long as ObamaCare remains on the books. ObamaCare's influence is so pervasive and harmful that it makes real health care reform all but impossible.
So it's a bit premature to be talking about replacing ObamaCare.
