BREAKING: Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich Steps Down Amid Anti-Gay Scandal
It looks like Brendan Eich's anti-gay past brought too much negativity to his newly-minted high profile gig at Mozilla, maker of the popular Firefox browser. After a week spent defending himself against his contributions to keep marriage away from same-sex couples in California, a week marred by outrage from developers and even websites, Eich has stepped down as CEO of the tech company.
The news was shared moments ago on Mozilla's blog in this post:
Mozilla prides itself on being held to a different standard and, this past week, we didn't live up to it. We know why people are hurt and angry, and they are right: it's because we haven't stayed true to ourselves.
We didn't act like you'd expect Mozilla to act. We didn't move fast enough to engage with people once the controversy started. We're sorry. We must do better.
Brendan Eich has chosen to step down from his role as CEO. He's made this decision for Mozilla and our community.
Mozilla believes both in equality and freedom of speech. Equality is necessary for meaningful speech. And you need free speech to fight for equality. Figuring out how to stand for both at the same time can be hard.
Our organizational culture reflects diversity and inclusiveness. We welcome contributions from everyone regardless of age, culture, ethnicity, gender, gender-identity, language, race, sexual orientation, geographical location and religious views. Mozilla supports equality for all.
We have employees with a wide diversity of views. Our culture of openness extends to encouraging staff and community to share their beliefs and opinions in public. This is meant to distinguish Mozilla from most organizations and hold us to a higher standard. But this time we failed to listen, to engage, and to be guided by our community.
While painful, the events of the last week show exactly why we need the web. So all of us can engage freely in the tough conversations we need to make the world better.
We need to put our focus back on protecting that Web. And doing so in a way that will make you proud to support Mozilla.
On Wednesday, Eich indicated he would stay on as CEO despite the headlines, further making Mozilla's announcement a surprise.
"I agree with people who say it wasn't private, but it was personal," Eich said of his $1,000 donation to California's Proposition 8 campaign. "But the principle that I have operated by, that is formalized in our code of conduct at Mozilla, is it's really about keeping anything that's not central to our mission out of our office.
"If I stop doing that now I think I would be doing wrong that code of conduct and doing a disservice to Mozilla. And I really do think it's an important principle of inclusiveness for Mozilla to succeed."
Even in the face of international criticism and outrage, Eich refused to say he would never donate to anti-gay groups again.
"I don't want to do hypotheticals," he also said Wednesday. "I haven't thought about that issue and I really don't want to speculate because it's not relevant."
And cue the outrage from the homophobic lobby...
What do you think about Eich's decision to step down?
As a gay man, I have grown to respect views from others that differ from mine. Where I draw the line, though is when one acts upon with such views in an attempt to take away fellow citizen's rights, as in the Prop 8 contribution. I do admire Mr. Eich's reception from the LGBT community to guide and help in an inclusive environment. Contributions should be for supporting that very cause, inclusiveness, instead of taking it away.

Czech Senate Overwhelmingly Rejects Whistleblower Bill
The Czech Senate has overwhelmingly rejected the first-ever bill aimed at providing legal protection to whistleblowers in a country where many believe public administration corruption is the biggest obstacle to doing business.
Of the 57 senators present at the vote, only six voted in favor of the bill while 32 rejected it and 19 abstained.
All those present from the Civic Democrat, or ODS party, voted against the bill. Senators from the Social Democrats, or CSSD, either abstained or rejected it.
Unaffiliated Senator Miluse Horska, who is Deputy Chair of the Senate and voted against the bill, described it as "completely incoherent." She said the matter needed greater consideration and a better-written bill.
Ahead of the vote, the bill's author, independent Senator Libor Michalek, said the draft had been revised to take the criticisms into account.
A fresh poll released Thursday by analysts at the Czech unit of Austria's Erste Group Bank AG (EBS.VI) showed that Czechs consider corruption to be the number one problem to doing business.

VASSAR, Mich. - Army Staff Sgt. Travis Mills served two deployments to Afghanistan without suffering anything close to a major injury. Then, in a second, everything changed.
On patrol during his third tour in April, Mills put his bag down on an improvised explosive device, which tore through the decorated high school athlete's muscular 6-foot-3 frame. Within 20 seconds of the IED explosion, a fast-working medic affixed tourniquets to all four of Mills' limbs to ensure he wouldn't bleed to death.
"I was yelling at him to get away from me," Mills remembers. "I told him to leave me alone and go help my guys.
"And he told me: 'With all due respect, Sgt. Mills, shut up. Let me do my job.'"
The medic was able to save Mills' life but not his limbs. Today, the 25-year-old Mills is a quadruple amputee, one of only five servicemen from any military branch to have survived such an injury during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, said Maria Tolleson, a spokeswoman at U.S. Army Medical Command. And instead of serving alongside his unit, he has been spending his days based at Walter Reed Medical Center, working on rehabilitation after the accident that dramatically altered the trajectory of his life.
Mills doesn't dwell on that. Sitting in his hospital bed, he describes his situation plainly: "I just had a bad day at work."
His family - especially his wife, Kelsey - admires him for that.
"I think he's Superman. I really do," she said. "It's amazing to see just how lucky he is. I mean, he's the luckiest unlucky guy."
Mills' recovery is expected to last at least a year. Already, there have been victories: A procedure performed at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center alleviated the excruciating phantom limb pains Mills was experiencing in the first weeks he was stateside.
He approaches each therapy session methodically, practically.
"There's no reason to sit here and look out the window and feel sorry for myself," Mills told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from Walter Reed. "It happened. I can't change the fact that it happened. I can't turn back time."
At Walter Reed, Mills is doing exercises designed to make his body leaner while strengthening his core, hip flexors, pectorals and shoulders. He bounces on a trampoline, trying to execute 90-degree turns with his torso. "There's nothing I really don't like (about PT), except I can't do two-a-days yet," Mills jokes.
While he's in the midst of getting his permanent prosthetics, Mills currently needs assistance to do things that most people take for granted, such as cooking and cleaning, or walking and running. As often as Walter Reed doctors let him, Mills makes his way to the Military Advanced Training Center to strengthen his body and prepare for long-term prosthetics. He currently has all four beginner prosthetics.
"They push you to your limit, then they push you a little more," said Mills, a high school football, basketball and baseball star who is more accustomed to bench-pressing and squatting to get bigger.
While he works at learning to use his new artificial limbs, Mills has an army of supporters behind him. On the Facebook page, nearly 20,000 people are tracking his progress and cheering him on virtually through messages.
The page serves as a window into his recovery, and his supporters watch eagerly as he surpasses milestones. When he began to walk on his prosthetics for the first time, a camera followed him as he nudged forward on a small track. With red and white sneakers laced on his prosthetic legs, and crutches gripping his artificial hands, he methodically takes one step at a time while tethered with a harness to the ceiling.
He doesn't just take a few steps. He walks the whole track.
"This is your first day?" an incredulous voice says from nearby.
"Yes, yes it is," he responds proudly, taking another step.
A short time later, another video showed more progress: He walks faster now, swifter than his first deliberate gait.
Videos also show him learning to roll and come to a sitting position in his bed, and learning, patiently, to use an artificial hand. One clip shows him removing colorful clamps from a bar and dropping them in a bucket. Another shows him using that same hand to feed baby food to his infant daughter, Chloe.
"Turkey and rice, tastes so nice!" he sings, as the baby girl opens wide and flaps her hands.
Only a half-year older than his injuries, Chloe has been a significant source of inspiration to Mills. He was there when she was born on the base at Fort Bragg, N.C. He left 4 months later for Afghanistan. Now, she sees him every day - sometimes helping him with his recovery.
Some videos show Mills doing crunches on his bed with an elated Chloe on his torso. In another video, he straps her into his wheelchair and zips around as she waves her hands in excitement.
Mills repeatedly talks of how "blessed" he is to be alive.
"Now I can watch my little girl grow up and see my wife and family again, and everything's good to go," he said. "I didn't die, so that's good. You've got to look at the positive things."
Mills' prognosis moving forward isn't clear, but there have been advances in working with patients who suffer similar injuries. Dr. Karen Pechman, who runs the amputee rehabilitation program at Burke Rehabilitation Hospital in White Plains, N.Y., said "only in the past few decades has the medical care existed that enables" people who incur the trauma or disease states that would result in quadruple amputees to survive, so it's not yet known whether those who lose all their limbs have their life expectancy diminished.
"There is nothing inherent medically about amputation that would affect subsequent health," Pechman said. "It is ... the activity level achieved by the patient that may impact on subsequent health."
As he recovers, Mills' story is compelling thousands to take notice and offer support. Recognizing that the family will face costs not covered by the Army and insurance, a fund has been set up for his family. There have been 5K runs held in his honor. T-shirts printed. Concerts, golf tournaments, motorcycle rides. Under the banner of hundreds who call themselves "Team Mills," fundraisers have been held in Kelsey's home state of Texas, in North Carolina where the couple lived and many places in between.
Nowhere has more been done, though, than in Michigan, where a recent spaghetti dinner at an American Legion post netted tens of thousands in donations. In Mills' hometown of Vassar, it's hard to find a tree, lamppost or telephone pole without a yellow or red, white and blue ribbon attached. Businesses throughout the 2,700-resident town feature signs encouraging prayer for the Mills family.
"I wouldn't want to go through it. I don't know anybody that would," said Paul Wojno, the principal at Vassar High School and the father of one of Mills' best childhood friends. "But ... if I had to pick one kid in this school that has recently graduated, I'd say Travis would be the one to try to do it."
Mills recently achieved his goal of progressing to the point that doctors OKed his move to a nearby outpatient facility that allows him to live with Kelsey and Chloe. Now, he's setting his sights on September, when his unit returns to Fort Bragg.
"I'll be there, hopefully on my prosthetics, and I'll be standing in my uniform and I'll have an arm on my right and left side and I'll be able to salute them as they come in. And I'll be standing there waiting for them," he said.
As for all of the supporters who call him a hero?
"Just because stuff happened to me, I don't think it makes me a hero," he said. "I think it just makes me a guy that did his job, knew the consequences of what could happen and something happened.

Funny Car contender Jack Beckman sets national record at Auto-Plus NHRA Nationals
MOHNTON, Pa. – Funny Car title contender Jack Beckman set a national record en route to his fourth No. 1 qualifying position of the season Saturday in the Auto-Plus NHRA Nationals.
After a dominating performance Friday, Beckman powered his Dodge Charger to a time of 4.003 seconds in his first qualifying attempt Saturday. That was quick enough to certify his 3.989 effort from Friday as an NHRA national record. Beckman, who trails series points leader Ron Capps by 17 points, will earn a 20-point bonus if he hangs onto the record following the completion of Sunday's eliminations.
"At this track, anything can happen at any round," Beckman said. "Cruz went a 3-second run and it's the first time two Funny Cars have done it at the same track. It wouldn't surprise me to see somebody else did it tomorrow as well. Those 20 points would mean a whole lot to us. Records are cool."
David Grubnic led the Top Fuel qualifiers, Jason Line topped the Pro Stock field, and Eddie Krawiec led in Pro Stock Motorcycle in the fourth of six events in the NHRA Full Throttle Countdown to the Championship.
Grubnic had a run of 3.728 at 327.11 mph to earn his first No. 1 qualifying position this season and first since 2008. His time tied the quickest Top Fuel run in history, and he could certify it as a national record during the final eliminations. Morgan Lucas, who qualified second with a 3.733, set the Top Fuel national record on that run.
In Pro Stock, defending event winner Line claimed the top spot in a Chevy Camaro with a run of 6.515 at 212.36. It is his seventh No. 1 of the season, 31st of his career.
Pro Stock Motorcycle points leader Krawiec rode his Harley-Davidson to his fourth No. 1 of season and 13th of his career with a performance of 6.799 at 196.56.

back »Mersey composite hose manufacturer Dantec trebles growth in marine sector
( 12 / 12 / 2012 )
Merseyside based composite hose manufacturer Dantec is reporting a trebling of sales in the marine sector over the last 12 months.
Moreton based Dantec manufactures composite hoses for the petrochemical industry. Managing director John Laidlaw said marine sales are being driven by the 'ship to ship' and 'ship to shore' market which see Dantec's hoses used for the transfer of oil, chemicals and LPG between ships or between ships and terminals. He said contracts with firms including Norwegian based Odfjell, one of the biggest chemical tanker operators in the world, and UK based Safe STS have helped Dantec secure a sizeable share of the global market for ship to ship composite hoses.
"Our big areas for focus in the marine sector going forward are firstly to make contact with more ship management companies in the ship to ship market showing why our products provide outstanding value," he said. "In addition to that we are determined to win more of the ship to shore market from terminal operators. We presently have a small percentage of this market globally but see massive potential for growth."
Mr Laidlaw said Dantec can help shipping companies and tank terminal operators by offering the highest standards of safety and durability.
"Dantec is committed to engineering excellence," he said. "That is how we have built our reputation since founding in 1969. This means we can give customers much better value for money as well as the highest standards of safety in a hazardous environment. The global market is flooded with cheap, unsafe and weak composite hoses many produced at very low cost in Asia. These products as well as being dangerous regularly fail causing costly and time consuming disruption. Our challenge now is take our hoses further and wider in the marine market explaining the benefits of properly engineered composite hoses. We proved the calibre of our engineering, which all takes place here in Merseyside in the UK, when for 15 years we supplied the refuelling hoses for Formula One cars. This was at a time when F1 was doing all in its power to improve safety after a fire in the pits."
Dantec has a £5.6m turnover and employs 48 people at its Moreton site. 70pc of its sales are overseas and the firm presently operates in 50 countries mainly through a network of 41 foreign based distributors.

Thermaltake Level 10 Review
Choosing a case has become a personal experience. No longer do you look at the case as just a beige box to house a utilitarian computer. Now that the computer chassis comes in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors you can usually find a case that fits not only your basic need to house the computer components, but something that fits your style and decor. In the past you had to do plenty of modifications to reach your goal of having a chassis that stood out from the crowd. Now you can buy one right off the shelf. From the basic to the custom-built, it's all available.
The Thermaltake Level 10 is a unique step away from the average box-shaped case that holds the high tech components that we rely on each and every day. Thermaltake has collaborated with BMW Group DesignworksUSA and come up with a case design that is far from ordinary. This case uses an asymmetrical design that houses all of the components on one side of a central tower with each component isolated into their own zone. The design term used to describe this is O.C.A. or Open Case Architecture. Let's see how this concept turned into reality performs and if the collaboration with BMW Group Designworks results in a great design with poor performance or a truly functional work of art.
Closer Look:
Having seen the Level 10 in person this during this year's visit to CES, I knew it was a large chassis, but I was not ready for just how large the box that housed it would be. This is absolutely huge for a box that contains a chassis. Even the box that contained my CM Stacker 810 is dwarfed by the package size. The outer packaging is plain cardboard with an image of the Level 10 on both the front and rear profiles. Plain, but it gets the message across as to what's inside the massive box. Inside this package is where the typical Thermaltake packaging can be seen with the front showing the front view of the Level 10 chassis and highlighting the collaboration between Thermaltake and BMW Designworks. On the side panels, you normally see the specifications and features of the chassis, but Thermaltake directs you to their website for more information in several languages. The other side has the chassis name and the phrase "Inspire the Visionary".
Popping open the container shows that Thermaltake has packaged the level 10 much like most chassis with a notable exception. The case is supported on the ends with large foam blocks that are custom cut to fit the unique shape of the Level 10. The chassis is covered in a cloth bag to further protect it from scrapes and injury in transit. One thing you notice right away when you go to move this chassis, is the weight. If you were curious and did not look at the specifications and just fell in love with the looks, you will be surprised to know that even with its aluminum construction, it comes in at a hefty 24kg or 53 pounds. That's more than my niece weighs soaking wet with a rocks in her pocket for extra ballast! Yes that is heavy for a case, but the build quality and sturdiness of the chassis means this is no aluminum flexible flier and pays dividends. The accessory bundle is housed in a sleek box that fits snugly into one of the foam end caps.
When you pull the cloth sleeve off the Level 10, you get the first glimpse of the chassis and just how well put together it really is. Foam blocks are used to support the optical drive bays and power supply bay to prevent any sagging in shipping to to any errant drops, seeing as this case approaches the 75 limit for FedEx and UPS drivers.
For accessories, Thermaltake has supplied most of the normal items that come with a chassis, such as motherboard standoffs and screws. However, this is no ordinary chassis, so the bundle has been beefed up accordingly. The accessories come in a small box that has a foam liner that is cut for the accessories to fit inside. The manual is an in-depth guide on how to disassemble and reassemble the Level 10 to install your system components. In addition to what would be the standard parts, you get several reusable wire tie wraps, the keys to lock and unlock the drive bays case and covers, a motherboard speaker, lint-free cloth to wipe down the Level 10 and a key ring to make sure you don't lose the keys - although that never seems to keep me from losing car keys.
The case was packaged well and includes a great accessory bundle but what about the details of the case, the form fit and functionality? Will these things put the Level 10 on a plateau higher than the rest of the high-end cases on the market? There's only one way to find out.

"The music of opera takes me to beautiful places in my imagination, with swirling passions and languid times of reflection," said John Turner (McLean) in describing his love for the art form. He is one of the artistic forces behind Fairfax County's own Riverbend Opera Company.
With its 2013 season, Riverbend will have a double-bill of one-act works by Giacomo Puccini. Puccini's operas are some of the most performed such as "La Bohème," "Madame Butterfly" and "Tosca."
Each of the one-acts, "Il tabarro" and "Suor Angelica" has "almost achingly beautiful music" said Turner.
"Suor Angelica" is set in a convent centuries ago. One of the nuns has a complicated life, "faces a horrible moral and mortal dilemma. Puccini's musical treatment of the principal characters takes the audience on a vivid journey from the depths of depression to the angelic choirs of heaven," Turner observed.
Where and When
Four Performances in March, 2013. Tickets: $15-$25. For tickets and information: Info@RiverbendOpe... or 703-869-3637. Note: Sung in Italian with English subtitles projected.
Performances: Providence Presbyterian Church, 9091 Little River Turnpike, Fairfax. March 8, 7:30 p.m.; Opera at Lake Barcroft, Falls Church, March 10, 2:30 p.m. Note: limited seating availability; Holy Rosary Church, 595 Third St. N.W., Washington, D.C., March 16, 7:30 p.m., and St. Augustine's Church, 600 M St. S.W., Washington, D.C., March 19, 7:30 p.m.
Il tabarro is set on a barge on the Seine in Paris. A husband notices that his wife is not as fervent as she once was. The wife is torn between her husband Luigi and a new man in her life, as well as experiencing sadness from the loss of her son. In the climactic scene, the husband's quick-temper, his tabarro (cloak) and the music all have critical roles.
The "Suor Angelica" principals include soprano Linda Kiemel, who performs regularly as an oratorio soloist and is a member of the Washington National Opera chorus. Mezzo Viktoriya Bright is currently appearing as soloist with the Cathedral Choral Society at the National Cathedral.
In "Il tabarro" there are two tenors alternating in the lead role. Kevin Courtemanche is a member of the chorus of the New York Metropolitan Opera, currently appearing in the production of "Parsifal." Paul McIlvaine has extensive experience as a leading opera tenor.
Soprano leads are Melissa Jean Chávez and Molly Pinson Simoneau. Chávez will be performing with the prestigious Castleton Festival. Simoneau is making her debut in a leading role with this production having performed in opera productions for several years.
With semi-staging the "audience is close to the singers. There is no pit, no stage, no microphones. It makes opera so accessible," said Riverbend Music Director Molly A. Khatcheressian, who is the choral director at Thomas Jefferson High School.
These Puccini one-acts are "a compact performing art form like a compelling short story with music that is thrilling," added Khatchressian.

A review by the Austin American-Statesman and KVUE-TV found that library users owe more than $860,000 in late fees for books borrowed between 2008 and 2012.
Library officials say most of the losses are related to users keeping or losing items including books, movies, CDs and sometimes pricey art books. But in some instances, authorities believe the books, especially those with a higher price tag, were sold at secondhand stores.
In some cases, people have checked out hundreds of items. One frequent user in 2009 took a $125 Encyclopedia of Libertarianism along with other 282 items. The user owes $9,660 in late fees.
Including this user, library records show four library users owe the system for more than $3,000 each in late fees and for unreturned items. In 2010, one borrower checked out and did not return 112 items, including a $150 art book, and now owes $4,353. Another checked out 112 items and did not return them and owes $3,765.
The city won't release the names of people owing the highest amounts in late fees or the most items not returned, because state open records laws prohibit disclosing the identities or other information about library patrons.
Austin library rules say people with less than $10 in late fees can borrow an unlimited number of books. Beginning March 1, borrowers may take only 50 items at a time.
Library officials said that since 2011 they started requiring cards be renewed every year, so they would have more current addresses in case items are not returned or there are outstanding fees.
Experts consulted by the newspaper say the rate of unreturned items is consistent with other cities the size of Austin.

10 Best Foreplay Tips Ever
If the idea of romancing your honey has simply lost its luster, you may be in need of the 10 best foreplay tips ever. Face it, sex just isn't fun if there isn't much substance to it. However, when you throw foreplay into the mix, everything just gets a lot more thrilling and exhilarating. Use these foreplay tips next time you want some hankey pankey from your significant other, and you'll be sure to get it.
- One of the best foreplay tips ever is to kick the foreplay off earlier than normal by doing it in public! No, this doesn't mean getting offensive to the rest of society. You can definitely partake in foreplay with your significant other in public by doing a number of things that are subtle but enticing. You can spank her on the butt, wink at her, send her a naughty text message, and more. It's completely up to you, and she'll be sure to eat it up because of the obvious anticipation it builds.
- When you're actually in the midst of foreplay, you want to remember that being gentle wins over being rough. Grabbing her body firmly and being too rough could be enough to actually turn her off. Just because your buddies smack their girlfriends' butts doesn't mean you have to. Keep things gentle and calm, and show her that you're a real gentleman.
- Keep things moving, and don't let yourself focus on one area for a long time. Just because you can tell that she's enjoying your attention to a specific part of her body doesn't mean that you can forget visiting the other areas. Moving from place to place and keeping things new and interesting will keep her interested and aroused.
- Some might find watching porn before sex odd, but it's actually a great way to heat things up. While you're both watching, you can try leaning over and kissing her gently to start heating things up a bit. You might want to try recreating some of the scenes with her to really add some spice.
- Try to put a lot of your focus on the neck. Women tend to go wild once their neck is so much as lightly touched. If you really want to get her into the mood, make sure to spend a significant amount of time working on her neck by lightly gliding your fingers across it, kissing it, lightly nibbling on it, and more. This is one of the most monumental foreplay tips to date.
- Remember that speaking won't ruin the moment if you do it in the right way. If you think you're too cool for dirty talk, think again. Women love it when they're being complimented and talked to in a dirty manner, so go ahead and let your creativity flow. One of the best foreplay tips ever is to let her know what you're thinking, what you're going to do to her, etc.
- If you really want to get her into the mood, perform oral sex on her. This may not be something that you're too excited about, but face it—she will love it, and she will be begging for more once you've stopped.
- Pay attention to her body language at all times. Just because she's not verbally telling you to stop or that she doesn't like something doesn't mean that she's into it. You will be able to pick up on what she likes by paying attention to the way she acts at certain times.
- The importance and key objective of foreplay is to build anticipation. Out of all of the foreplay tips, this one may be the most significant. Keep things moving steadily but not too quickly. The point is to build up to an explosive experience, so make sure the pace seems natural and not too hurried.
- One more fantastic way to liven up the foreplay is to take a bath with your significant other. Baths can really enhance the mood and romance, and this is truer if you decide to add scented oils or candles.

Roger Sherman, a UH emeritus professor in the Department of Economics who passed away in February, will be honored during the Southern Economic Association's 80th annual meeting Nov. 20-22 in Atlanta.
Roger was a noted scholar in the fields of market regulation, anti-trust, and industrial organization. He taught at the University of Virginia from 1965 to 1998, when he came to the University of Houston to serve on the faculty until his retirement in 2006.
"Roger was a highly esteemed researcher, teacher and mentor," said Rebecca Thornton, MA Applied Economics Program Director. "We were very fortunate to have him as part of our department and remember him fondly."

November 2009
From the Editor. In this issue we continue to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Calvin's birth. Professor Richard Gaffin explores the structure of Calvin's soteriology in the Institutes in an article that was first presented on May 27, 2009 at the Pre-Assembly Conference of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.
Richard Gamble reviews an important new book on Calvin's doctrine of the state. Darryl Hart contrasts two recent books in terms of their views of Calvinists and in light of the recent resurgence reported in Time magazine. What part might the OPC and Westminster Theological Seminary be playing in this revival? Finally, I review a fine new biography of Calvin by Robert Godfrey.
I should point out that while some of the books that I choose to review in OS online are well known to readers, we simply do not have resources to review all that find their way to my desk. So, I have to be selective and will focus on less familiar books. I am always interested in your suggestions and even unsolicited reviews.
Special Announcement. As more of our officers are discovering that they are entitled to a free subscription to Ordained Servant, the demand has increased. However, we have run out of copies of the 2008 edition very early this year. We have ordered more, but this is more expensive in smaller quantities. So, we need more of those elders and deacons who wish to have a copy sent annually to subscribe (directions below), so that we can more easily determine the numbers to be printed each year. This saves us money in two ways. It saves on distribution and saves on having to have a second print run for a smaller number.
Copies of the annual edition of Ordained Servant are sent to each ordained minister, each organized congregation, and each designated mission work of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, and are paid for by the Committee on Christian Education. Ordained elders, deacons, and licentiates of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church may receive copies gratis upon request. These free copies may be obtained by sending your request to: Pat Clawson, Ordained Servant, The Orthodox Presbyterian Church, 607 N. Easton Rd., Bldg. E, Willow Grove, PA 19090-2539; or through our publications page at opc.org.
Blessings in the Lamb,
Ordained Servant exists to help encourage, inform, and equip church officers for faithful, effective, and God glorifying ministry in the visible church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Its primary audience is ministers, elders, and deacons of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, as well as interested officers from other Presbyterian and Reformed churches. Through high quality editorials, articles, and book reviews we endeavor to stimulate clear thinking and the consistent practice of historic Presbyterianism.

|Trinity Lutheran Church & Cemetery: Freistatt, Missouri
Here's how an unexpected conversation led to my standing at the grave of great-grand-uncle Carl Traugott HEGWER: I was sitting with 3rd-Cousin Donald, filling in some missing Hegwer data for him, which was unexpected that he would even want it since the Hegwer's are NOT in his ancestry at all. Donald's eyes widened in recognition as I told him that CT was probably buried somewhere in Freistatt, Missouri. Imagine my surprise as Donald said that not only did he know where it was, but that I would be driving right by there on my way to see Cousin Kate!
I jumped to the computer to see if I could find a Lutheran cemetery there in Find A Grave. Another surprise: not only did I find the cemetery, but also a photo of CT's headstone! (That's another reminder to revisit websites such as findagrave on a regular basis!)
My photo above shows the back of CT's headstone and how close the site is to the current church building. A plaque on the building says the church was founded in 1874 and this building erected in 1954. I wonder if I can find a photo of the original building....
Here is one of my photos of the front of the headstone. Given the scroll work on the other 3 sides, it appears that the original intent may have been to eventually carve more names but there are none.
Here's a link to an earlier post including Carl Traugott Hegwer.
- Meeting face-to-face and spending a week with Donald & Linda was an incredible gift. I do not have the words to express what a wonderful time we had.
- I must remember to check websites such as Findagrave.com more regularly!
- I went to Missouri to work on RICHARDSON lines and had been reviewing them in my database and folders for months. But, I should have also reviewed the Hegwer's, too. I bet Joplin and Freistatt were not the only places I was close to. Hmm, another reason for a return visit to Donald & Linda?!
- I should probably make it a goal to find the burial sites of all 10 of the children (and their spouses) of Carl Benjamin Hegwer and Maria Rosina Ilgner....
Escape to the Silent Cities. Nothing older there, but several lovely photos of the cemetery. I've left a comment hoping for help.
PPS: Hurray! Tammi of Escape to the Silent Cities has already come to my aide! Here's a link to the original church. Thanks, Tammi!

One look into the eyes of Lisa Fleming is enough to realize that this mischievous little hottie can melt even the coldest heart. Self-described as "Crazy, smart and caring," Lisa has a little bit of everything to keep her fans happy.
Growing up as an Army brat, Lisa is used to seeing men come to attention, only now it comes from all the onlookers at the shows and events she attends. As for her army upbringing, forget the tanks and missiles, just dropping Lisa into hostile territory would no doubt bring a ceasefire – or at least produce a different kind of ground warfare. I don't think anyone reading this would mind spending some time in a fox hole with this stunning beauty.
Lisa grew up wanting be a model, but her interest was on the runway instead of the car scene. But, as always in life, that direction changed after she and some friends raced their cars in high school – Lisa had a souped up Integra GS-R back then. She was attending car shows when a photographer picked her out of the crowd and she made the transition to the tuner scene.
But there's more to Lisa than just a smoking look. She is a regional partner with PsychoTrance Entertainment. The company is an event and club promotion outfit and Lisa keeps herself busy by planning events throughout California.
The list of DVDs and magazines she has appeared in are countless – just prior to our photo shoot for this issue, she was busy posing for the Super Street 2007 calendar and was the September cover girl for D Sport magazine. At the 2006 SEMA show she had a stranglehold on showgoers as the crowd around the Versus Motorsports booth grew every time the Sacramento-native was signing autographs and giving away posters. But 2007 marks the biggest moment of her career. In January she will make her first appearance at the Tokyo Auto Salon and you can be sure she'll leave showgoers in the East just as breathless as those in the West.
Lisa has fun-loving zest for the scene and likes to sit back and enjoy everything she has in life – she even overcomes a fear of flying to attend shoots all over North America. I think it's safe to say that there would be more than a few guys ready to help her get over her nerves on flights should the need arise.

Ever since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting horrified the country, the topic of gun control remains a hotly debated one. The latest salvo in the ongoing battle is a proposed Missouri bill that would make it mandatory for parents to notify their child's school about any guns kept at home.
State Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal hopes that this bill will bring awareness to schools and parents about the necessity of keeping guns locked up.
"I am not trying to take away the gun rights of any parents or any other citizens I believe in the second amendment," Chappelle-Nadal, a Democrat, told KSDK News. "It encourages parents to make sure they store their guns safely in their home, it also gives the school districts the opportunity to help encourage gun safety in the community and in the household."
Plus: 5-Year-Old Suspended for Hello Kitty Bubble Gun
Senate Bill 124 will also make negligent storage of a firearm an offense.
"A parent or guardian of a child under the age of 18 commits the offense by recklessly storing or leaving a firearm in a manner that is likely to result in the child accessing the firearm if the child obtains access to the firearm and unlawfully carries it to school, kills or injures another person with it, or commits a crime with it," the summary of the bill reads.
Do you think this is a reasonable bill or does it go too far? Leave a comment and let us know.

A little more than 10 years ago, Hal Lasko began to lose his eyesight. Things appeared blurry, reading on paper was nearly impossible and colors were washed out. A condition called wet macular degeneration was making it nearly impossible for the World War II veteran and retired designer to keep up with his oil painting.
But Lasko, who turns 98 on Sunday, found a rather unexpected way of continuing to paint. He replaced the fabric canvas and oil paints with a digital versions.
"I was painting with acrylics, and for my 85th birthday they gave me a computer. I was having a problem with the paint brush because my eye sight was getting poorer," Lasko, who lives with his son in Rocky River, Ohio, told ABC News in a phone interview. "I went to the computer because I could magnify it. I learned to use the Paint program just like I paint with a brush."
In 1999 Lasko's son Ron and his grandson Ryan gave him a computer running Windows 95, and using an external magnifier that attaches to the computer monitor, Hal was able to blow up the images on the screen and better see colors. He began using Microsoft's Paint, the dead-simple art program, to create colorful pixel art.
More Computer Art: 3-D Pencil Sketches Leap Off the Page
The creations speak for themselves. The vibrant images, inspired by Edward Hopper and Paul Klee, are all all created pixel-by-pixel using digital paint brushes and pencils. Each piece can take a number of days to work on, but Lasko says that he prefers the Paint program to other more advanced painting and art applications.
"It became the only way I could express myself and paint," Lasko, who is also losing his hearing, said. Before retiring, Lasko spent 10 years working at American Greetings, styling the fonts and cards.
But now Lasko's hobby has turned into somewhat of a second career. His grandson Ryan, 32, came up with the idea to create a video about his grandfather's digital masterpieces and in celebration of Hal's 98th birthday to sell some prints of his grandfather's work. Eight of his prints are on sale for $98 a piece at http://hallasko.com/collections/prints. Ten percent goes to the Veterans of Foreign Wars program.
The portion of the "Pixel Painter" video can be viewed above, but the entire well-produced video can be viewed here.
Since putting them up for sale on Tuesday, Ron Lasko says that they have seen quite a "large number of requests," but says they will keep up with the demand. The prints will be printed on high-quality paper and Hal will be sign and date each of them.
Hal has no plans to stop working any time soon.
"I have about a half a dozen still in the works," he said. "I start working on one and then put it aside so I don't get bored."

A plastics and craniofacial surgeon saved the life of an amazing child born with part of his brain growing down through the root of his mouth and out through his face.
Although children who are diagnosed during pregnancy are often terminated, Doctor John Meara was able to assure the parents of Dominic Pio Gundrum that their "exquisitely rare" child was "going to be OK."
When Mary Gundrum, from Wisconsin, was 20 weeks pregnant, her ultrasound revealed she was having a boy. When she and the doctor looked at the screen they saw something in front of the child's face.
The fetus had an encephalocele, which means part of his brain was exposed, covered in skin, outside his head. In his case his brain was growing down the roof of his mouth and out of his face.
After some daunting research Mary and her husband, Mark, found Meara at the Boston Children's Hospital. They told the Boston Globe, they "were just blown away" by the work he had done on a Haitian baby in 2008.
They sent the Boston doctor their ultrasound. The next day he phoned to say, "I want you to know it's going to be OK."
Read more technology news on IrishCentral here
Meara also diagnosed their baby with something he'd never seen before.
He told the Globe, "I looked at the images, and I thought it was a very rare combination of two diagnoses.
"There was the encephalocele, and there was the Tessier facial cleft, in which the two halves of his head and face never came together."
He called this kind of diagnoses "exquisitely rare" and said that most parents who receive this prenatal diagnosis choose to terminate the pregnancy. Meara estimated that a baby like Dominic is only born in North America every five to ten years.
Initially the Gundrum family was told that their child might not make it to birth or could die within hours of birth. However the devout Catholics, who are parents of seven other children, decided to continue with the pregnancy.
Mary (40) said, "We did a lot of soul-searching.
"I was thinking, 'That's my child. It's that simple. I'm not going to take the life of my child.'"
Meara finally gave them hope.
On June 18 2012 Dominic Pio Gundrum was born at Froedtert Memorial Hospital in Milwaukee. He weighed eight pounds and seemed healthy. However, as Meara had diagnosed, he had frontonasal-dysplasia, meaning the two halves of his head had never fused.
That wasn't the only problem. His optic nerves were underdeveloped, he was missing the part of the brain which connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres. Also doctors could not locate a pituitary gland.
At four months Dominic was brought to Boston for a consultation with Meara and his colleague, Mark Proctor, a neurosurgeon. A month later they performed a seven-hour operation, along with their team. They removed the encephalocele, closed the skull, repaired the Tessier cleft, and brought the baby's facial features together.
Dominic wasn't out of the woods. Meara was concerned over infection, loss of blood and bone segments.

Meara told the Globe, "I had a lot of sleepless nights because so many things can go wrong in a case like this."
On December 4 Dominic's craniofacial surgery went ahead. It began at 8.30am and ended at 3.30pm and throughout the day there were ten to 20 people in the operating theater.
The operation involved removing a piece of the baby's skull and creating a palate.
Proctor explained, "[The bone] became the floor for the brain as well as becoming the roof of the mouth.
"Before, the brain was sagging well down into the mouth."
Meara had a three-dimensional acrylic model made of the baby's head and face to prepare for the surgery. He made those cuts around Dominic's eyes and upper jaw and moved the two halves of the jaw and the eyes together. He then merged the two noses into one, and two sections of the upper lip.
When the surgery was completed the doctors high-fived and hugged the parents but in the following days Dominic had seizures, developed fungal meningitis, and suffered respiratory and feeding problems. He was in intensive care for three weeks but on January 8 he went home with Mary to Wisconsin.
Dominic is now seven-months-old and the doctors and his parents are delighted with his development.
Meara said, "Developmentally, he seems to be appropriate for his age.
"I think it's entirely possible that he will be an entirely normal little guy."
The National Institute of Health states that children without a corpus callosum go on to lead normal lives, although they may have subtle cognitive and social difficulties.
The only element which seems uncertain is whether Dominic will ever see or be legally blind.
But Meara is optimistic.
He said, "When he's 6 feet tall and has a head of hair on him, you may see a little line on his forehead, but that's probably about it."

- 95% rayon, 5% spandex

- Dry clean
- Made in USA with imported materials
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Petal Front Skirt is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 5 out of 5 by sbrya28 from REALLY SEXY BUT SIMPLE SKIRT! I was back and forth on if I wanted to purchase this skirt or not, because I wasn't sure what tops I could put with it. Finally I broke down and purchased it in a size Small. At first I thought I had made a mistake and purchased the Medium, as I have slightly large hips for my 5'3" frame. I got it, and was pleased that I chose the Small. It fits perfectly, not too small to where I can't sit down in it comfortably. Also it hugs my hips, and the ruching detail always help to minimize as well. The front of the skirt does reveal a little, but I think that was the point of having the skirt cut the way it is. So if you're at all modest, then this is probably not for you. I like this because it's a sexy different take on an otherwise normal skirt. I have several bodysuits that I plan to wear with this, along with sky-high heels!

Newtown saxman plays Arts and Ideas fest
Newtown saxophonist Jimmy Greene has been named one of three recipients of the 2013 Governor's Arts Awards.
Greene, a faculty member at Western Connecticut State University, who lost his daughter in the Sandy Hook shooting, will receive the award on Saturday, June 15. The ceremony will take place at 6:30 p.m. on the New Haven Green, as part of the International Festival of Arts and Ideas. Greene's quintet will play prior to a performance by iconic soul and R&B vocalist Aaron Neville.
Greene is a composer and band leader who has recorded numerous albums and has appeared widely as a concert performer and sideman. At Western, he is an assistant professor of music and assistant coordinator of jazz studies.
A Hartford-area native and a graduate of the University of Hartford Hartt School, Greene's quintet features pianist Kenny Barron, drummer Lewis Nash and bassist John Patitucci.
Greene and his wife, Nelba Márquez-Greene, lost their 6-year-old daughter, Ana Grace, in the Newtown tragedy that took the lives of 20 children and six educators six months ago. In late April, Greene brought an elite group of jazz musicians to Danbury to perform in the opening concert of the 2013 WCSU Jazz Fest, which was a dedication to the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
Headliner Neville has spent five decades performing New Orleans-inspired music, both as a part of the Neville Brothers and as a solo act. His performance in New Haven is part of a tour to support his new album, "My True Story."
The free concert takes place on the New Haven Green, at Elm Street and Church streets. Call 888-278-4332 or visit www.artidea.org.
Keeping up with them
Danbury-area jazz fans will have the chance to enjoy more jazz on Sunday, June 16, at 6 p.m. when the Jones Factor performs at Pizzeria Lauretano in Bethel.
The Jones Factor, which is billed as a "10-piece little big band," was formed in 1986 by trombonist and bandleader John Fumasoli. Fumasoli was looking for something smaller than a big band and larger than his trombone septet, and decided to create a smaller big band that also featured a French horn.
The group plays tunes from many different styles, including bebop, Latin, blues and funk.
Pizzeria Lauretano is at 291 Greenwood Ave. The cover is $15. 203-792-1500, www.pizzerialauretano.com.
Hey, soul Sister
The soul-rock blues band Sister Sparrow will perform on Tuesday, June 18, at 7 p.m. at Ballard Park in Ridgefield as part of CHIRP's series of free concerts. The group is returning to Ridgefield for the second consecutive year.
Last year was a banner year for Sister Sparrow, which played three sets at Bonnaroo and performed two nights opening for Gov't Mule in December at the Beacon Theatre in New York City.
The nine-piece powerhouse puts a modern spin on classic soul and in the last two years has opened for the Black Keys, the Neville Brothers, Dr. John and the Rebirth Brass Band, among others.
Ballard Park is at the intersection of Main and Gilbert streets. The show is free. 203-431-6501, www.chirpct.org.
Here we Go-Go
On Thursday, June 20, at 8 p.m. the Go-Go's will perform at the Ridgefield Playhouse. Formed in 1978, this all-female American rock band is an '80s music powerhouse. They are known for mega hits "We Got The Beat," "Our Lips Are Sealed," "Vacation," "Head Over Heels," "Turn to You" and many more. Opening for the Go-Go's will be the young Ridgefield duo Carly and Eliza.
The Ridgefield Playhouse is at 80 E. Ridge. Tickets are $90. 203-438-5795, www.ridgefieldplayhouse.org.
Non Sequiturs rock Heirloom
On Saturday, June 15, at 7 p.m. the Heirloom Arts Theatre will host an evening of indie rock. Fronting the bill will be the Non Sequiturs. Also performing will be New Year's Revolution, Circle/Circle, Places To Hide and the Backdoor Boys.
The Heirloom Arts Theatre is 155 Main St., Suite 103, Danbury. $10 at the door. 917-593-3508, www.heirloomarts.org.
Look to the Future
Future Tense will perform on Saturday, June 15, at 10 p.m. at Molly Darcy's in Danbury. The high-energy rock band has been a favorite in the Danbury area for 35 years. The core membership of Dave Rogers on keyboards, Dave Walker on bass guitar, and Mike Walsh on lead vocals and rhythm guitar has survived intact since 1979. Over the years these three have been joined by a wide variety of musicians. The group has a big powerful sound that always packs the dance floor.
Molly Darcy's is at 39 Mill Plain Road, Danbury. Saturday, 10 p.m., 203-794-0449, www.mollydarcy.com.

Since ZM was just signed here semi- recently, is it possible Shero asked ZM where he'd like to go so as not look like a **** to other possible FA's? And just took the best offer from that team? I realize this was a pure salary dump and the idea sounds far fetched.
Doesn't sound far-fetched at all. Sounds like good business. It can be a salary dump and be player-friendly at the same time.
In that same vein, I've seen Orpik's name in other threads about trade speculation. Orpik took a lot less money to re-up with the Pens than he could have gotten from ... was it Buffalo that was ready to throw lots of cash at him? Anyway, I know that was a few years ago, and it certainly worked out for both sides, since the Pens won the Cup the following season. But if Shero traded him to, say, Columbus, that probably wouldn't help Ray the next time he asked anyone for a hometown discount. My point being that I think it's wise not to treat these players solely as commodities.

Occupation: After a couple of years with AT&T Corporation in Chicago I accepted a sales management position with General Cable Corp. in Milwaukee. I was with GCC for 10 years in various sales, market development, and corporate planning positions in Wisconsin, New Jersey, and Connecticut. It was in New Jersey that I met and married my wife, Jan, and in 1981 we moved to California so that I could accept a job with GT&E Corp.
In 1983 I joined Sumitomo Electric Industries in New York as VP Marketing/Sales and Specialty Manufacturing for their first U.S. facility to be built in North Carolina. In 1986 when Sumitomo Electric Lightwave opened in Research Triangle Park we moved to Raleigh where I worked for 14 years. Subsequently I worked for a couple of venture-capital funded start-up technology companies. We moved to Pine Knoll Shores in 2000 and locally I worked as a Yacht Broker, and for local retail establishments. Currently I work for Ace Marine in Morehead City.
Education: I attended Youngstown State University while living at home and working part-time. Upon graduation with my electrical engineering degree I was hired by AT&T Corporation into their Management Development Program in Chicago, Illinois. While living and working in Illinois and Wisconsin I attended evening school and achieved a Master of Business Administration degree from Northwestern University. In later years I obtained a Marketing Management Certificate from Columbia University in New York.
Prior publicly elected, appointed or held positions: Currently serving out my four-year term as PKS town commissioner. I am the primary commissioner for budget and finance matters and the secondary commissioner for planning activity. Also, I am a member of the Carteret County Beach Commission.
Leadership experience: In my corporate career I progressed from engineering and sales positions to VP Marketing, Sales and Specialty Manufacturing. I was responsible for hiring personnel, controlling budgets, and building relationships with customers, vendors, and strategic partners while attaining profit goals.
While living in Raleigh I served two terms each in my Homeowners Association as chairman of the road committee, chairman of the architectural review committee, and president of the Association.
How long have you lived in the municipality for which you seek office? I have lived in Pine Knoll Shores since January 2000.
Why are you running for office? I enjoyed my tenure as Commissioner and wish to continue to be actively involved in maintaining the character of Pine Knoll Shores while controlling the tax burden.
What makes you a good candidate for the position? In my corporate career I was part of a team that devised and implemented a strategic planning process for our five operating divisions. I grew my division to well over $100 million in revenue by defining and satisfying customer needs while hiring personnel, controlling budgets, and building relationships with customers, vendors, and strategic partners.
During my tenure as town commissioner these skills were beneficial. I was open minded in all matters and made decisions that I believe were in the best interest of the residents. I enjoyed my term and am willing to continue to serve.
What do you see as the town�s biggest budget challenge? To keep taxes at the current level will be a challenge. We have done a good job the last four years � no tax increases! We must be creative to repeat this achievement.
What type of growth do you think is best suited for the town? Pine knoll Shores is a residential, family-oriented, environmentally focused community. Our growth must maintain that character.
What quality-of-life projects would you suggest for the town? Pine Knoll Shores has an excellent quality of life. We have a wonderful beach and the homeowners associations have great parks on the ocean and the sound. They also have marinas for boat owners. There is a golf country club and a state aquarium within our town. Surveys by the Park and Recreation Committee show that the residents are well satisfied with the current amenities and do not wish to see town spending to duplicate other recreational facilities that are available in nearby towns.

10 Reasons to Break Out the Slow Cooker
This is the best time of year to take your slow cooker down from the shelf and put it to work. Our days are as busy as ever, and the slow cooker offers a hot, fragrant meal that's ready when we walk in the door, meals like tacos with tender barbacoa beef, a bowl of curried vegetable stew, or even beef shanks in red wine for a slow-cooked date night.
If you don't have your own slow cooker, no worries — you can still enjoy these slow-cooked meals! Every single one of these recipes can also be made in a Dutch oven or even a soup pot with a sturdy lid. Instead of cooking in the slow cooker, put the lid on your pot and cook the dish in a 300°F oven for a few hours. The total cooking time will be shorter, so you'll usually want to start checking your dish after about two hours. It's done when the meat is fall-apart tender and the vegetables are cooked through. Or when it starts tasting delicious, whichever comes first.

Alomar's interim run as manager ends with Indians ends with 9-0 loss to White Sox
CLEVELAND – Sandy Alomar Jr.'s big week will end in a big day.
Alomar, who was named the Cleveland Indians interim manager when Manny Acta was fired on Sept. 27, will interview for the full-time position on Thursday. No one would blame him if his mind wandered during Wednesday night's 9-0 loss to Chicago in the season's final game, but Alomar maintained that wasn't the case.
"I'll have plenty of time to think about that," he said. "I'm looking forward to it and see how things go. I'm excited about it."
Alomar, who served as Acta's bench coach, believes he learned a lot in the last six games, in which the Indians went 3-3.
"I gained a ton of experience in six days," he said. "I'm kind of glad I got the opportunity to manage the team. This was a wonderful experience for myself. I learned a lot about what managing is all about."
Terry Francona, who managed Boston to World Series titles in 2004 and 2007, will interview for the job Friday.
"I know that I cannot match Terry Francona's resume, but I believe I am ready for the job," Alomar said. "The Indians owe me nothing and if they decide to go another way, then that is their decision. I am happy to be considered."
Cleveland contended in the AL Central until going 5-24 in August — the worst month in the franchise's 112-year history, a collapse that cost Acta his job. The Indians finished 68-94 and in fourth place in the division.
If past success and experience are the top priorities, Francona is the front-runner. If Cleveland fans picked the new manager, Alomar, a six-time All-Star catcher with the Indians, would be a clear winner. The crowd of 18,093 chanted "Sandy, Sandy, Sandy" when he changed pitchers in the ninth inning, but Alomar is taking nothing for granted.
"I have not even sat in Manny's chair," he said. "When I use the manager's office, I sit on the couch. Coaches and players come in, it is the manager's office, and I am fine with people coming in and out of it."
Designated hitter Travis Hafner, likely playing his last game in an Indians uniform, had a single in four at-bats. He was given a warm ovation when he hit in the ninth inning and tipped his helmet as he stepped out of the box before popping up. Hafner, 35, has been plagued by injuries the last five years. The Indians hold a $13 million option on Hafner for next season, which the club surely won't pick up. The team likely will pay him a $2.7 million buyout.
"It's something I'll never forget," Hafner said of the fans' ovation. "This is a special moment to have the fans do that. I wanted to thank them. They've been great to me."
The game was a fitting ending for the Indians. Dan Johnson hit his first three homers of the season and the White Sox added two more. Gavin Floyd (12-11) gave up three hits over seven innings.
Johnson hit two two-run homers off David Huff (3-1). His 424-foot shot in the second inning was his first in more than a year. His second made it 7-0 in the fifth, two batters after Paul Konerko hit his 26th of the season.
It was Johnson's fifth career multihomer game and first time he hit three in a game. He's the first player to hit three in a game against Cleveland since Konerko in July 2009.
Dayan Viciedo hit his 25th homer, third in three nights and sixth against Cleveland in the ninth, followed by Johnson's third.
Chicago went 4-11 down the stretch to place second to Detroit after leading the AL Central by three games on Sept. 18. Huff gave up nine hits in 4 2-3 innings. Only three runs charged to him were earned. A throwing error by third baseman Chisenhall made Chicago's entire four-run fifth unearned.
NOTES: Cleveland RF Shin-Soo Choo extended his career-best hitting streak to 13 games with an eighth-inning single. ... Chicago 1B Adam Dunn did not play, finishing with 222 strikeouts, one shy of the major-league record set by Mark Reynolds with Arizona in 2009. ... The Indians' 110 stolen bases are their most since taking 113 in 2000. ... Cleveland scored 667 runs in 2012, down 37 from 2011. ... Cleveland's total home attendance of 1,603,596 was its second-lowest since 1992, not quite 213,000 ahead of 2010.

Updated with prettier pictures of the finished projects & much blushing to see this included on the PPK 100 for 2012!
If you're looking to make your own syrups for drinks, per #52, check out my Rhubarb & Rangpur Lime syrup and Hot Chili, Lime & Sea Salt syrup.
Finished products: lemongrass & mint, cherry brandy and plum & blueberry.
Apparently I now host homemade liqueur tastings in my apartment. Bar design by J. Legume
Every summer there's a fruit that takes precedence above all others in my life. I have room for them all, but there's that one I just can't get enough of. One year, it's plump blueberries, the next, juicy strawberries, the next, Oregon's tart marionberries, or sweet, rich blackberries… of any variety I can get my hands on. For me, the summer of 2012 was the summer of the cherry. Chelan, Rainiers, Bings, Stella…whatever the farmers markets happen to be offering that day. I was loving them fresh, baked into muffins, added sweetness to sauces, starring in pies, crushed into cocktails, soaked in brandy, pitted and frozen for this winter, and possibly the most glamorously, as the base of brandy and liqueurs. Fast forward three months, and my array of homemade liqueurs are nearly ready, and naturally, more than one features my favorite fruit of the summer.
Just like this project, the photos themselves are definitely with their own DIY charm. I'm going to put them into classy jars any day now…
The local-bar-in-progress includes:
- Italian Prune & Plum
- Plum & Blueberry
- Brown Sugar & Peach
- Lemongrass & Mint
- Cherry Brandy
- Cherry & Cranberry
- Blackberry Brandy
More about DIY fruit liqueur:
The basics are incredibly simple – combine sugar, fresh fruit and liqour in a jar, and let sit. With the three jars of brandy, I let the fruit absorb the sugar for 24 hours, and then added the liquid. The lemongrass and mint, unlike the jars that still contain fruit, were strained after 48 hour period. All of the fresh produce was locally sourced, and many are hand-picked, with the exception of the lemongrass and cranberries.
Because I'll be straining the fruit, I do not pit anything. And because I'm cheap, I've bottled amounts in small mason jars (halving the ingredients below), and opted for truly bottom shelf vodka and brandy over pure grain alcohol. If your fruit is of a more sour variety, then your liqueur will echo that. And so on, for a sweeter variety, so use what you prefer – or if you're open, simply use whatever you have local access to.
At the end of cherry season (go figure), I was able to pick up several pounds of late season cherries for a discounted price, and there went the remainder of my mason jars. My apologies to the lentils.
The Basics:
- 1 lb. fresh fruit, rinsed (if you're using whole, soft fruit, such as plums or cherries – make sure to pierce a few times; if you're using apples or another firmer fruit, slice)
- 3 cups vodka (use half brandy if you'd like to make a brandy)
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar, preferably white
This is the very gist of how to go about doing things. As I mentioned above, there are slightly different steps you can take and of course, flavors combinations that you can consider.
If you're making a liqueur, combine the fruit, alcohol and sugar, and let sit for several weeks, stirring well and shaking on a regular basis. Let strain, and sit another few weeks. It's all that sugar that technically makes what you're doing a liqueur.
If you're making a brandy, combine the fruit and sugar, and let sit for 24 hours, add the alcohol, and repeat the above procedure.
You can strain after several weeks, or a short handful of months, for a richer flavor.
Strain well, and a few times, if need be, and bottle well. Most importantly label your results, and share with friends.
Use in cocktails, desserts, in salad dressings, or whatever else you fancy.
Hey, you've got a good month til the end of the year – get to work!

One of the most threatened birds in the UK has bred successfully for the first time at a Doncaster nature reserve.
Staff at Potteric Carr are celebrating, because after many years of work, patience and careful observation, bitterns have successfully bred on the site for the very first time.
The birds are having a rocky road to recovery following their UK-wide extinction around 1885 – a result of habitat loss and persecution at the time.
Yorkshire Wildlife Trust reserves officer Jim Horsfall said: "We are thrilled!
"Over the last three years male bitterns at Potteric Carr during spring have been making their characteristic booming sound, a call they use to attract mates.
"This of course gave us hope that one day we may see some young bitterns.
"Earlier this year there was much booming, followed by many sightings of adult birds, including what appeared to be some courtship flights, where a pair of birds fly together. Over time birders here then observed feeding flights through late July and early August yet it was still difficult to confirm breeding.
"However, earlier this month, a young bittern was seen for the first time."
Mr Horsfall added: "This is a great success for Yorkshire Wildlife Trust.
It comes soon after YWT announced that marsh harriers had bred for the first time earlier this year at the Doncaster nature reserve.

It's been a couple weeks now since we got a very slight peek at what appeared to be a Samsung slider on Verizon. Let's get a little closer look, shall we? The pic you see above (and a couple more after the break) just hit our inbox. And, sure enough, the as-yet unannounced device looks a whole lot like Sprint's Samsung Epic 4G.
We'd imagine that if indeed this unnamed piece of Android goodness ends up seeing release on Verizon, it'll be of the Galaxy S II variety. And while it's nearly a dead ringer for the Epic 4G, the keyboard's been tweaked every so slightly. The shift and fn buttons have been moved, and what appears to be an Internet shortcut key has been added, and the emoticon key -- which ridiculously found itself as a dedicated key on the Epic 4G -- has been relegated to secondary status on the space bar.
What else do we know? It looks like it's running Android 2.3.4, which any release at this point of the year should definitely have.
Also note the 4G LTE icon in the status bar. We've all been wondering why the Motorola Droid 3 got such a low-key launch on Verizon. Jerry's suspected that it was because the D3 is 3G only. And if this Samsung slider indeed sees release as a 4G device, it looks like he'll be able to chalk that one in the win column.
Update: Got a few more details. The screen is described as "awesome." (Never mind these blurrycam pics.) Better than the Fascinate, we're told, and our tipster is thinking it could well be a Super AMOLED Plus screen, which packs in more subpixels than a mere Super AMOLED screen. It's also said to run faster than the Fascinate. Internal storage is 2.17GB after hard reset. It's got a 5MP camera on the back, and 1.3MP up front.
Couple more pics after the break.
Thanks, anon!

Jay Factory News:
Dynabar 2010 Models
Hi kitesurfers,
JAY is here with the new models we have worked on for a while and will be available soon at reseller's shops.
The DYNABAR V3 was a good start for many of you, but more advanced kiters's demand was for more dynamic sliding, kite racers for a more static sliding but still the possibility to move the hook position. We also improved hook sliding by making a brand new pin and you could also use it on the V3 model too.
DYNABAR FREERIDE is the best choice for kiters who would like to get the benefit of a sliding hook but still enjoying their preferred jumps. The FREERIDER replaces the V3 model and has the same size 10" and 12" but with a smoother center angle to make a good compromise between sliding and stability. DYNABAR FREERIDE is mounted on the new bar pad, more ergonomic and soft.
DYNABAR PROWAVE is aimed to waveriders using directional boards and need less stability at the centre of the bar and more controllable sliding done by their body/harness position. The transition of the hook is immediate and there is no hard release of the hook from the central position because of the wide angle. This model requires more skill and more time to get used to. DYNABAR PROWAVE is mounted on the new bar pad, more ergonomic and soft.
Many brands are working on equipment aimed to this new discipline and we did the same by working close to some Italian kiterace riders. We designed our race board and DYNABAR PRORACE harness hook. The PRORACE model has no central 8mm steel bar where the hook slides, but a 6mm dyneema rope to guarantee enough stability of the hook in any position, as required during race: the rider can find his best body position in order to distribute weight on front/back leg as he wishes and also relax his back muscles. The transition during direction change is easier due to the sliding possibility. The PRORACE can be also used in freestyle and waveriding, but the hook is less stable compared to FREERIDE and the sliding is less quick compared to PROWAVE. DYNABAR PRORACE is mounted on the new bar pad, more ergonomic and soft.
