Hello, I have just started using the Foundation framework from Zurb. It's my first time using a CSS framework/Grid Framework and it just seems like there is a TON of extra divs I'm having to type to get the desired layout.
If any of you have a spare 10 mins I would appreciate it if you could look perform a quick code review of my site at
If you want me to post the HTML file here I can. The site is only 1 page for now and the CSS I've written is in custom.css
Mainly I want to know
If I'm making any critical errors that is causing me to write many many extra lines of HTML to get what I desire.
From my use of ZURB Foundation, it takes many nested row- column - row column combos to have a stable easy to control layout...Also You'll see my own divs between rows and column divs that are divs required by ZURB... This is because adding styles to the row class div itself will cause for the responsive features to get screwed up... like padding on a row will cause the layout to be offset from the left when scaled down, and not centered like it should be.
Let me know and thanks.
Also, as I look over my code. These are questions to people experienced with ZURB Foundation obviously,
Am I relying on the grid to layout my content to much and should I just make basic row column measures and then rely more on my own custom divs to layout things within the site?
It's illegal to do reviews in this part of the forum, code or otherwise. Please use the Reviews forum to do so.
To get started, please read this thread.
I'm going to ask for a thread closing. Nothing personal :).
I believe I'm in the right place. It's really a specific thing I'm after. Not a whole site design review. It's more a question of how to properly use the column and row classes of the ZURB Foundation framework...
I can word it differently if that would please you.
What attracted you to the ZURB framework as opposed to straight HTML and CSS?
The reason I ask is that CSS frameworks are pretty much frowned upon here for the exact the reason you mentioned – extra, none-semantic mark-up. Most frameworks that use grids promote terrible mark-up with very little in return. So I'm just wondering what the advantages of ZURB are to you that make the sacrifice(s) worth while. What has been shown is really not that complex of a layout at all and can be created without relying on a CSS framework using proper, semantic mark-up. Unless there is some reason which ZURB must be used or something.
Grids are a great design tool for alignment and consistency but they do not need to have a physical presence in the mark-up. Especially true considering doing so requires extra, none-semantic, presentational mark-up. That is a disadvantage inherit to any CSS framework with grids. Which is why a significant majority here recommends avoiding them. The advantages just aren't really worth the disadvantages unless you have some specific reason for using ZURB which balances that out.
oddz is being polite, either that or I'm a real {expletive omitted}
What you have there top to bottom are bad choices in terms of techniques, methodologies and site-building... from the HTML 5 for nothing (which I actively campaign against the use of), Paul Irishs' idiotic "lets bloat the markup with browser sniffing", to hordes of "scripting for nothing" in the markup, to endless IE conditionals for Christmas only knows what, to the broken/nonsensical use of heading tags, to the massive background that sucks down ram and takes forever to render, to -- and that's BEFORE talking the CSS framework nonsense.
Everything you're noticing about that framework being why I consider CSS frameworks, Javascript frameworks, and frameworks in general be it HTML, CSS, Javascript or server side, to be useless pointless bloated rubbish I pity anyone duped into using. At best they are a crutch, at worst, a sleazy attempt at a shortcut that just makes more work in the long run.
Which is how you ended up with 9k of HTML for 1.2k of plaintext and maybe a dozen content images; two or three times as much HTML as should be used... much of that thanks to the bloated nonsensical and outright idiotic 'framework'.
You should also make sure you're using VALID HTML -- since you can't do things like put a DIV inside a UL like the menu has it.
There is a lot of work to be done in the sense of optimizing the framework to my needs. There are some bad practices/mistakes in the markup, but I'm not aiming to be perfect out of the gate or I would never make any progress towards finishing a project and having the chance to go back and better myself/code.
My main concern is the use of the ZURB Foundation Columns and Rows
Fort the sake of discussion tho:Main reason I'm using the framework is because of a 3 week time constraint to build a responsive WordPress Site. This site isn't going to go live. I know how to use media queries and I've read Ethan Marcotte book on Responsive Design cover to cover, but I simply don't have the time to go through all of those steps. So this is more of a "prototype" which is what the framework describes itself at being good at "prototyping" sites very quickly.
What DeathShadow said. I don't find the enormous code bloat worth the "benefits" of using the frameworks.
The reason I specified grids is because that is normally where the code bloat and extra mark-up occurs. For instance, bootstrap besides for the grid stuff is very light weight and only requires classes be added to existing elements. Though it does seem more oriented towards administrative UIs than front-ends. The nice thing about bootstrap though for admin UIs is when used properly the design is handled my the framework itself and seems to be pretty acceptable. I can't really talk for ZURB though. I have never even heard of it before this point. The only reason I looked into bootstrap was personal project I have been working on and didn't want to deal with the design/look and feel but wanted something more than default browser styling. Still I would echo what others have said and avoid them here.
I definitely see the value in your reasoning for being against frameworks, and especially css/html frameworks because the techs are just so easy to learn given the time.
But from the level of a novice (myself) you should be able to see the great value in these frameworks. While I do plan to take more responsibility in the products I produce, using frameworks (and I mean downright abusing them) gives me the power to create websites and templates that execute on all the buzzword technologies.
I use a grid from teehan+lax in photoshop to layout my design, ZURB Foundation to make that layout into html and CSS, and I'm currently templating using the wordpress framework where I'll hopefully duct tape together the rest of the functionality of the homepage. And in just 1-2 weeks a novice such as myself will have prototyped up a responsive site backed with a CMS. While being bloated, it'll probably be pretty stable too.
I think frameworks are good for this "rapid prototyping" type of deal where you can get a workable product up damn quick and then trim the fat, code things better, and add features iteration after iteration (and for a beginner become a better coder/designer faster, and not spending so much time spinning wheels in the mud).
It sounds really shallow. But being only 1 person starting out in the web design and dev world, frameworks are invaluable. It does come with bloat, but at the end of the day it's really not that bad unless you get into enterprise level products.
I' have books like Definitive Guide to JavaScript, Books on PHP, CSS3, etc etc, but trying to piece a project from scratch with all those diff. technologies is a dummy mission for someone like me. I'd rather use these frameworks and rely on my knowledge of the underlying technologies to solve problems and make improvements where ever I can figure one.
You guys may be able to write your own sliders, wip up your own grids, make your own twitter widgets, make your own little javascript library toolkit, and the such and I envy you for it, but It would be a years worth of work to produce all these basic things, and they wouldn't be near the quality these frameworks provide.
I disagree entirely -- since the ONLY thing you can learn from them is how NOT to build it, you are basically talking about writing it twice; you're basically having to learn the framework and not the language, so that's twice as much to go through before you've even laid down a line of code; since you're not writing it yourself when something breaks (and it will) you have no idea how/what/why without wasting time digging into it... all that extra wasted time could just as easily have been put towards just writing it properly in the first place or learning to do so.
It screws yourself, your client, and on the whole is a sleazy shortcut that typically bites everyone on the backside in the long run.
Hey look, all the garbage I'd never put on a website in the first place.
The framework is dead simple to learn. It's just a column, inside a row, inside a container. It does have quirks when trying to style it and place content inside of it, but everything has its quirks.
I'm not saying don't learn any of the underlying technology that makes it work (CSS3, JavaScript, HTML5, etc), because that would just cause endless pain and suffering. But I'm saying starting out and wanting to make a complete project from wireframe to launch, frameworks are invaluable. Also for someone who doesn't have the time/resources/wits (whatever it maybe) to do straight up software engineering; tweaking frameworks/plugins/etc. on a regular basis to make it their own is the best way to learn (design patterns, best practices, creative syntax) and be productive at the same time. Keyword being productive! Writing everything from scratch is hardly productive in "production" cases (writing a slider, writing a full blown responsive framework, writing a twitter widget). You may not use sliders and widgets but the fact is they are in demand and need to be produced.
Yeah. You're messing with the laawwww.

BERLIN – Volunteering is on the rise in Worcester County as more people feel the need to help out their neighbors and their community.
"We've gotten a lot more calls regarding volunteering since the economy has taken a hit," said Worcester County Volunteer Services Manager Cyndy Howell.
People are realizing that more help is needed and feel the need to give back, Howell said. Those who have been laid off are volunteering to enhance their work skills and network, she said, but there are fewer volunteers in this category.
"I do think there's an increased awareness of helping out at the community level," said Claudia Nagle, executive director of Diakonia homeless shelter. "It's really amazing the level of service people are stepping up to offer … the numbers of people who are volunteering with us are growing."
Some recent Diakonia volunteers are looking for a way to contribute now that they cannot afford to contribute money, Nagle said.
"We've had more volunteers than we've ever had here, about five to 10 more. We have a lot of inquiries, more than ever," said Brigitte Saulsbury, program director for Lower Shore CASA, which provides volunteer advocates for children involved in the court system.
Howell said that some volunteers are young people, recently graduated from college, who have not been able to find paid work and have begun volunteering to gain experience.
"When people volunteer, they may meet new friends. They may acquire new skills," said Howell.
Despite the increase in volunteering, all agencies contacted said more volunteers are needed.
"Right now, we are starting up our Worcester County Reads program in Ocean City and we are definitely looking for additional tutors to help us," said Howell. "We've had a lot more requests in Ocean City for tutors."
CASA is now serving just about half the children who could use CASA's assistance. The program has about 40 volunteers, but could use another 10 to 20.
"We definitely need more volunteers. We have a really great group of volunteers right now. They're truly making a difference in kids' lives," Saulsbury said. "We have gotten school teachers, we have a couple nurses. We've got some students. The biggest population is the retired individuals. They have all different backgrounds. As long as they care for children we can train them."
Nagle added, "We could always use volunteers", for work ranging from inputting data to fundraising.
"I also need a volunteer coordinator because I want to make sure people stay. That's difficult because we don't have much administration," Nagle said.
Furnace Town Executive Director Sarah Myers said her operation is always in need of volunteer help.
"We have a myriad of jobs that need to be done here at Furnace Town," said Myers.
Howell said part of her job with the county is to match potential volunteers with area non-profit agencies.
"Our office has gotten a lot more calls from agencies which need help with a certain thing," said Howell. "It's really important to match the interests and skill level to the particular organization so that both the organization and the volunteer are happy with the match. That's a very key component."
Volunteers are vital to many local government programs and non-profits. The county relies heavily on volunteers to enhance services at the county libraries and the recreation and parks programs.
The county's 100-plus Citizen Emergency Response Trained (CERT) volunteers are available should an emergency such as a major hurricane strike Worcester County, but the CERT trained volunteers are also available for other tasks, such as manning upcoming flu shot clinics for the Worcester County Health Department.
CASA, except for administrative support, is all volunteer.
Two major fall events for the historic site of Furnace Town, the quilt show next weekend and the Celtic Festival the first weekend of October, are run entirely by volunteers, Myers said. Volunteers also help clean up the grounds, input data on archeological artifacts and offer to demonstrate period skills, like weaving.
Volunteers these days do much more than stuff envelopes or answer phones. Some teach, some raise funds, while others create marketing materials. Diakonia relies on volunteers to run its new thrift store on Route 611.
Some volunteers share expertise a non-profit would never be able to afford on its own.
"We wouldn't be able to do what we do without the incredible support of the community," said Nagle.
"Everyone has a talent to share. It's just seeing what's out there," added Howell.

I have this code
When i write into textarea, save the file and make download....the file is empty. What's wrong?
I found this:
When I put text with line breaks, and then keep the text on the disc is not with line breaks.
Anyone know help me?
I just had a look at the plugin you link to.I created a dummy text with a few line breaks in it, then saved it to disk.When I opened the file with Windows Notepad, the line breaks had been ignored.However, opening the same file with any other editor (SciTe, DreamWeaver, Wordpad) caused the line breaks to be honoured.
Are you testing this in Windows Notepad?This link explains why this is happening: http://superuser.com/questions/362087/notepad-ignoring-linebreaks
I only have tried just with notepad, with another software works.It's impossible solve the problem?
You cannot change the behaviour of Notepad, so the only option is to change the output of the plugin.If you look at the example you link to, you can see that it determines what to save to the text file thus:
data: function(){
return document.getElementById('data').value;
so you could hook in to that to filter out all new line characters and replace them with carriage returns.
data: function(){
var text = document.getElementById('data').value;
return text.replace(/\
/g, "\\r\
That might affect things in other editors, however.
Tried that, but still did not work.
Really?Works for me.
Here's a demo.
Go to the demo page, enter something of at least two lines into the text area, save the file to your PC and open it with Notepad (normally: right click file -> open).If I do this on Win8 I see the output formatted correctly with line breaks.
What do you see?
I forgot this: var text
Thanks again!!

Big Love: The Complete Second Season DVD
Season Two of the critically acclaimed, Emmy-and Golden Globe-nominated Big Love finds the modern-day polygamist Bill Henrickson (Bill Paxton) and his three wives struggling to pick up the pieces after first wife Barb's (Jeanne Tripplehorn) outing at the Beehive Mother of the Year Ceremony. Second wife Nicki (Chloe Sevigny), learning that it was her father, Roman Grant (Harry Dean Stanton), Prophet of the Fundamentalist Juniper Creek compound, who betrayed them, battles conflicting family loyalties. And third wife Margene (Ginnifer Goodwin), newly pregnant, fights for a bigger piece of the family pie with an eye toward brining a new wife and confidant into the fold. All of this domestic drama plays out against the backdrop of Bill's new visionary business plans - which put him into direct conflict with his father-in-law and some rather unexpected and unsavory antagonists. As if juggling three wives wasn't tricky enough, it looks like Bill won't be getting much sleep in any of his houses this year.

Comments about this product:
If you love the show you will love the dvd. If you haven't seen it I would start with season one as the plot is very thick by season two. Big Love is always entertaining. I could watch it over and over! The service getting the dvd to me was quick and efficient. I ordered it and three days later I had it. I could not be happier with this purchase.

text: Well, I am quite possibly the ULTIMATE Harry Potter fan. I have all six (praying and dreaming of the seventh) of the books in both the American and UK versions, and have read each one an average of 34 times. That is, except for the Goblet of fire, which I have read 49 times. Why, you ask? BECAUSE IT'S MY FAVORITE!! I live in NYC, and yes, I DO have a social life. I love hopping over to Saks or getting pizza (if you haven't been to New York City, you haven't tasted pizza),but get over it, I like to read and I'm fast damnit! I can read a HP book in about a day. Well, a Sunday when I have nothing to do. I do have to go to this thing called SCHOOL once in a while which is really annoying. But what are you going to do about it? Now, if I went to Hogwarts, that would be a different story. Well first, I would..... wait. This is why I am an author on this website, so I can get out all my dreams and ideas about Hogwarts and Harry and all the rest. Oh yeah, I'm not really a "Shipper." I mean to say, I don't favor any particular pair. I read all the romances (my forte) equally. I could read a HG/DM and then move on to a HP/RW without a problem. As long as it is well-written, I love reading anything, and I hope that you will enjoy reading what I write!

Adolf Gobel, Inc.
List of Deals
The origin of Adolf Gobel, Inc., dates to 1891 when a peddler named Adolf Gobel sold his delicatessen products to small butcher shops in New York City from a wicker basket on his arm. As demand for delicatessen goods grew, Gobel opened a store in the Williamsburg district of Brooklyn and later expanded as the industry grew to many parts of New York City. By 1926 the company had ninety-six motor trucks and employed 450 people. Gobel's original intention was to sell just sausages, but the demand for other delicatessen products increased so rapidly that many other food products were added. By the mid-1920s Adolf Gobel manufactured and sold a wide variety of fresh and smoked meats under the trade name, "Gobel's—Quality First—Pure Meat Products." These products, which included ham, bologna, corned beef, and bacon, were distributed through delicatessens, butchers, and restaurants throughout the Northeast.
When Adolf Gobel died in 1926 his heirs sold most of the company to a group of bankers; a small portion of common stock was sold publicly. In August 1926 Adolf Gobel, Inc., was incorporated in New York.
Adolf Gobel purchased George Kern, Inc., for $10 million in 1927. Kern, whose personal history was very similar to that of Adolf Gobel, had arrived in America in 1888 as a penniless immigrant from Stuttgart, Germany, and had built a business that ranked second only to Gobel in the processed meat business. When the Kern company was sold to Gobel it was described in the press as a packing, wholesale, and retail distributor of pork and beef products in New York City that owned a fleet of eighty-one motor trucks.
In 1927 Adolf Gobel also acquired B. Meier & Son of Bronx, New York, Hertz Brothers of Milton, Pennsylvania, Merkel Inc. of Jamaica, Long Island, and C. Lehman Packing of Brooklyn, N.Y. In 1928 it formed the Playland Refreshment Corporation, which operated a concession at Playland in Rye Beach, New York, and purchased Howard Provision Company, which operated a stand in West Washington Market, New York. During this year the company also began bottling and selling sauerkraut and frankfurters with great success.
In 1928 Adolf Gobel acquired nearly all of the stock of Keane-Loffler, Inc., of Washington, D.C. Keane-Loffler was organized in 1928 to take over three businesses formerly known as A. Loffler Provision Company, T.T. Keane Company, and Keane Provision Company. Together they had sales of more than $6 million annually. Gobel continued to grow through acquisition by adding two Boston firms in 1928, United Sausage and Pearl Sausage, which were expected to strengthen Gobel's market share in New England. These acquisitions helped lift Gobel's sales in 1928 to $21.2 million from $8.3 million in 1927. Similarly, net income grew from $428,485 in 1927 to $563,332 in 1928.
Gobel acquired over 96 percent of the common stock of the meatpacking company of Jacob E. Decker & Sons of Mason City, Iowa in 1929. The packing plant of Jacob E. Decker had the capacity to process 5,000 hogs per day and had branches throughout the Midwest with revenues of $16 million.
In 1929 sales for Gobel more than doubled to $46.0 million from $21.2 million in 1927. Earnings, however, fell from $563,332 in 1928 to $131,298 as the company attempted to consolidate the operations of the companies they had acquired in recent years.
Adolf Gobel sold a record 243,715,995 pounds of meat in 1930.

NEW YORK CITY -- Crane Co. is updating the structure of its growing payments and vending segment, which has been known as Crane Merchandising Systems for more than a decade. Crane Merchandising Systems now encompasses the unit focused on machine manufacturing, cashless and networking services, and vending management systems. Crane's larger payments division, which merges Crane Payment Solutions with MEI Conlux, has been rebranded as Crane Payment Innovations. The company segment under which these two industry leaders operates is now Crane Payment and Merchandising Technologies.
Crane announced the rebranding initiative during its 2014 investors' conference at the Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan on Feb. 27. A new logo for CPI was unveiled, too, signaling the rapid integration of Crane's legacy payment brands and the newly acquired MEI Conlux, which was purchased for a little over $800 million.
The Stamford, CT-based industrial concern has made dozens of acquisitions recently, but MEI Conlux is its prize catch. Crane announced an agreement to acquire MEI on Dec. 12, 2012. The acquisition was completed nearly a year later, on Dec. 11, after two payment products were divested at the request of the European Commission.
In 2013, Crane Co. posted record sales of $2.6 billion. This year, the company is expected to break $3 billion in sales with MEI's full-year contribution. Operating profit is expected increase to $443 million, or 15%. Together, Crane's payments and vending businesses are projected to post sales of $750 million in 2014, making Payment & Merchandising Technologies the company's second-largest platform after Fluid Handling. The other Crane segments are Engineered Materials and Aerospace & Electronics.
The outlook for Crane Payment & Merchandising Technologies is guarded. In 2014, sales in the Merchandising Systems division are expected to hold steady at $180 million. Last year, sales fell to $180 million from $207 million in 2012. The loss is attributed to a reduction in vending machine orders from bottlers. The division's cashless and vending management services, which offer recurring revenue, are expected to make strong gains this year.
Merchandising Technologies is headed by Brad Ellis, who has been its president for more than 10 years. It remains the No. 1 vending machine manufacturer in North America. Crane produces vending machines under the brands National Vendors, Dixie-Narco, Automatic Products, GPL and Stentorfield. The vending segment also includes Streamware, which develops and markets vending management software.
Crane Payment Innovations is anticipating sales growth of 5% in 2014. The expanded division now represents 75% of total sales for Payment & Merchandising Technologies. CPI's 2013 sales (pro forma) were $550 million and are projected to rise to $575 million this year. (Crane's legacy Payment Solutions division posted sales of $290 million in 2013, which included two weeks with MEI in the mix.)
CPI is led by Mike Hayes, who is president, and Kurt Gallo, who is chief operating officer. Hayes was formerly president of MEI and Gallo was president of Crane Payment Solutions. CPI is the No. 1 payment systems manufacturer in the world; its coin and banknote validators and recyclers are used in more than 100 countries. CPI's brands include CashCode, Money Controls, NRI (National Rejectors Inc.) and Telequip, and now MEI. All of these companies were acquired in the last decade; the newly formed payments business had $20 million in sales 10 years ago. In addition to the vending channel (full-line operators and bottlers), CPI supplies equipment to the transportation, gaming, retail self-checkout and financial services sectors.
Hayes noted that CPI is a logical fit for the Crane system of companies, whose strategies are to develop and provide engineered solutions for niche markets. "We make a critical component in equipment used every day," he said.
Crane Co. chief executive Max Mitchell said the new Payment and Merchandising Technologies platform reflects its size and focus on the markets it serves. Mitchell, who succeeded Eric Fast in January, is the 12th chief executive for the 159-year-old company.
Crane Co. Q4 Profit Is Up 9%, Merchandising Soars 30%; Payment Innovations Segment Announced

My plug for Port!
Sunday was wash day for the bike. A good thing it was filthy. I'm enjoying the extended turkey leftovers and many drinks and we just finished a nice bottle of Portuguese port. The holidays are a good excuse to have more than usual to drink and the port is certainly a treat!

B.J. Upton has four homers in his last five games with nine RBIs. It's the kind of groove he was in during the 2008 playoffs.
"He looks pretty close," Rays manager Joe Maddon told the Tampa Tribune. "Almost identical."
Upton said he's making sure he gets his front foot down in time to allow his hands to move through the hitting zone. That timing mechanism is something he struggled with last season.
"Just good swings," Upton said. "Like I said before, just stay with my approach and don't stray away from it. Stay with it and trust it. That's what I've been doing the last couple of weeks, and it's working out."
Eckstein surprises himself: David Eckstein surprised even himself with his game-winning home run on Monday night.
The Padres' veteran shortstop can be counted on for clutch hitting, but it usually comes in the form of a sharp single through a hole in the defense. He yanked one down the left-field line that cleared the fence just inside the foul pole at PETCO Park in the bottom of the 10th inning to give San Diego a 3-2 win over San Francisco.
"I definitely wasn't expecting that," Eckstein told the San Diego Union-Tribune. "I was so disappointed in my three previous at-bats that my thought process was to see the ball and try not to do too much."
Morrow finds success with new delivery: Brandon Morrow made a slight adjustment in his delivery prior to his strong performance in the Blue Jays' 8-1 win over the Royals on Monday night.
"I dropped my arm angle just a touch, and it kind of opened up a lot of things," Morrow told MLB.com. "My ball was moving a lot more. I was keeping the ball down, and everything just seemed to be a lot better."
Ike Davis begins career with single: Ike Davis, the son of former Major League reliever Ron Davis and a first-round draft pick in the 2008 draft, joined the Mets on Monday afternoon and got a single in his first at-bat that night.
A 6-foot-4, left-handed first baseman and only 23, Davis is a powerful line-drive hitter who makes good contact. His father likens his style of play to John Olerud.
"He was tempting [the Mets to place him on the 25-man roster] based on what we saw in Spring Training, but we wanted him to get some at-bats in Triple-A," general manager Omar Minaya told the New York Daily News. "He's handled Triple-A as well as you'd want for a young kid."
For Redmond, Target Field a breath of fresh air: Mike Redmond, who spent years as a member of the Twins, returned to Minnesota with the Indians and was impressed by the club's new outdoor stadium.
"It's nice to get out here, and it's phenomenal," Redmond told MLB.com. "Thinking back to the Metrodome, I realized I had a cough for five years, and I swear it was because of the Metrodome. I just got rid of that cough within the last couple months. I'm glad that we are outdoors and can breathe some fresh air."
Kinsler aiming to return next week: Ian Kinsler increased his activity level on Tuesday and hopes he can come off the disabled list next week when the Rangers return home to start a homestand.
Kinsler will likely be sent to extended Spring Training in Arizona followed by a short rehab assignment before joining the club. He still won't be at full strength.
"But I want to get on the field," he told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "I'm going to have to build some strength back up. I'd prefer to do that on the field."
Duensing proving reliable in relief: Reliever Brian Duensing is becoming a go-to left-hander for Twins manager Ron Gardenhire.
"He's doing great no matter where we put him," Gardenhire told MLB.com. "Duensing, we can use in those left-handed spots with [Jose] Mijares out. He's doing fine, can come in and get lefties and righties out. He's got a good changeup. He cuts the ball. He's good in that role, coming in and getting big lefties out too."
Felipe Lopez glad to be back with Cardinals: Felipe Lopez says coach Jose Oquendo helped his infield play during his first stint in St. Louis.
"I'm better because of what I learned here," Lopez told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "Oquendo emphasized things like footwork and using my legs. Before I would just stand up and throw. Sometimes the ball might sail or sink. By setting myself instead of hurrying, it's more consistent."
Avila responsible for Damon's new mohawk: When Johnny Damon asked Tigers teammate Alex Avila to give him a mohawk, Avila couldn't say no.
"We were talking about doing it," Avila told MLB.com. "We were going to wait until my hair gets a little longer and then do my hair. We were talking about me getting one, and he was going to do one, and I was like, 'Yeah, sure, I'll cut it for you,' just kind of joking around.
"And then [Monday] he was like, 'Yeah, let's cut my hair.' I'm like, 'OK.' How am I going to say no to Johnny Damon?"
Golf outing leaves Stammen with new approach: Craig Stammen got some good advice from Livan Hernandez during a recent golf match.
Hernandez explained to Stammen that he could always hit the ball straight when he swung easy.
"How I play golf," Hernandez told him, "is how I pitch."
Following the advice Stammen allowed just five hits and two runs in eight innings to pick up a win against the Rockies.
"He throw the ball down today," Hernandez told the The Washington Post. "Perfect. He's got stuff as good anybody on the staff. His slider disappears."
Gaudin, Edwar Ramirez claim championship rings: Prior to Oakland's game against the Yankees on Tuesday night, Chad Gaudin and Edwar Ramirez received their 2009 World Series rings.
"Once you become a part of their team, you're as special as they are," Gaudin told the Oakland Tribune.
"Every baseball player, especially in the Major Leagues, is looking for something like that," Ramirez said. "It's amazing for me, my family and my hometown."
Berkman picks up pair of RBIs in return: Lance Berkman, who went 3-for-6 with two doubles and a home run during a two-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Round Rock, went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBIs in his first game back with the Astros on Tuesday night.
"My swing feels pretty good," Berkman told the Houston Chronicle before Tuesday's game. "Clearly [during a rehab assignment], you're not facing the same caliber of guys that you're going to be facing in the big leagues, particularly the guys we've faced so far this year.
"But it always feels good to get the hits, and I also feel I'm not that far off with my timing."
Conor Jackson lands on DL with strained hamstring: The Diamondbacks placed left fielder Conor Jackson on the disabled list after he injured his right hamstring on Sunday. Jackson felt a sharp grab in the hamstring while running and an MRI has revealed a strain.
"Twelve [games] in, and I'm on the 15-day DL, so it's pretty frustrating, pretty disappointing," he told the The Arizona Republic. "But I'm not going to sit here and mope on it. I'm going to get better as soon as possible and get out there and try to help the team."
Hawksworth ready for the haul, short or long: Blake Hawksworth is primarily a long reliever, but he's confident he can help in other roles, too.
"I think I have the ability to go through a lineup with righties and lefties," Hawksworth told MLB.com. "With my changeup, I can pitch to lefties, just because I have something going the other way. So that helps get multiple innings for the team when I need it. But, if they need me to come in for an inning, I can do that, too."
This story was not subject to the approval of Major League Baseball or its clubs.

Let him walk
Resign him and keep him long term
Resign him and trade him January 2013 with Amare
Thankfully when scouts look into Asia, it won't be for 7' glass-cannons. (Seriously, from Yao Ming to Manute Bol to Shawn Bradley to Keith Van Horn... what's up with picking skinny giants? At least Dirk bulked up a it over the years.)
I don't think Williams is one of the worst, I've seen Williams play some great defense in his career.
Lin was just seeing plays ahead of people.
Lets not get too ahead of ourselves. Jeremy Lin looks like a decent rotation player, but he's definitely not anywhere near elite yet.
Things will get harder for him once teams actually start scouting him and start forcing him out of his comfort zone.
Some games he's gonna look terrible and others will be encouraging. Welcome to developing a young inexperienced player. The key is letting him develop instead of freakin going into a panic every time he has a bad game.
Seriously these boards are really discouraging on how fast people ride the wave. You want to have a player's babies one game and the next day you want to trade him for next to nothing.
next game he isnt going to do what everyone is expecting him to do then shizzee is going to package him to guam then every one will get mad at him then the "jeremy lin is a fraud" threads will come then d'antoni will be fired again then somehow stat is going to be blamed then melo will be blamed then ca7 will suck his dick then baron davis will return then his back will get soar then his return will be postponed to next week then the cycle will go on
****** He is the only point guard on the Knicks with an understanding of how to make AMARE and TC better.************
Bibby is one who is so past his prime he can no longer defend the current speed in the league.
Shumpert needs to come off the bench. He would be an excellant 6th man...come in , make some steals and a few fast hoops with his amazing intensity but he CAN NOT RUN this team yet from the PG position.
Landry can score WHEN IT DOES NOT COUNT...his last shot in the Boston LOSE was a real CHOKE.....
I know MELO..he's playing very hurt.
He's more of a Rajon Rondo then a Lin. He has absolutely no shot. Every point he mad except for 2 mid range jumpers were off of driving inside (not that there is anything wrong with that). That being said he has great ball handle, hes really smart on his drives i loves how he tucks the ball into his chest and doesnt try anything fancy, he just looks for a score and is always aware of who his nearest man is just in case he gets in trouble. Hes an extremly smart player. He doesn't need to have a 3 point shot as long as he can shoot at least an open mid range jumper he will be fine.
I'm agreeing with Metrocard -- Lin is looking like Marbury. That doesn't sit too well with me since I still view Starbury as more of a SG or Combo-Guard than PG. As shown recently by Derrick Rose, it's a highly effective mix if you can work the rest of the team around it, but it's still not a pure PG.
The kid is the truth.
The other night wasn't a fluke.
The Golden Child is shaking out... fearless... and making Harvard like decisions.
9 points 7 assists. Zero turnovers.
Shaking out!
Lin is making a starless team compete pretty well. Imagine when carmelo and amare are playing instead of walker and novac and jefferies.
has a couple turn overs today, but he's a rookie and should really be learning as a backup. But he will learn.

Joe had the heart of a lion but verbally he was out of his depth when Ali got going. One time, as fight day approached, Ali spotted Frazier on a hotel balcony, grabbed a security guard's gun and fired some rounds at him. Everybody knew it wasn't live ammo but it still startled the hell out of Joe.] Go back in your hole, Gorilla, ... You gonna scare the people! Come out again and I'm gonna kill ya before time!"

I have been working at this library for many, many years (too many to actually give you a number!). It always amazes me however, when I tell people who I meet in the community, about the wealth of materials available to them in their own library's Audiovisual Department and they have no idea that we are even here, tucked away on the lower level.
We not only have current movies, we get these movies on their "streetdate". In other words, as soon as Netflix or Blockbuster has them, so does the New City Library. I buy multiple copies of the most popular titles to keep the wait time short. The same holds true for our children's current movies. We receive our copies on their streetdate so that the children in our community will get to see their favorite screen characters.
We also have thousands of music CDs covering all different genres. Classical, pop/rock, R&B. gospel, world music, jazz - the library has it all. We also have a large selection of children's music including the popular Kidz Bop series.
Each month I will be posting information about the AV area; new films, new music, upcoming artists, and reviews of films that I have seen in the theater (I go a fair amount) and what I think is worthwhile and what I would, personally, not recommend. I hope you will enjoy reading this blog each month.
P.S. I really enjoyed "Crazy, Stupid, Love" with Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling. It's been a very long time since I needed to wipe away tears when a movie was over. And believe it or not, (I didn't) I really enjoyed seeing Captain America in 3D. Very light and entertaining. That's all for now

Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan addressed something that has been around for decades — a friction between Ocean City and Worcester County officials.
Dozens of elected officials have come and gone over the years, but there has always been some sort of odd, yet palpable, disconnect between the county and the resort. Rarely are their differences vocalized, as they were this week, but there's no question the relationship has been strained over the years and dates back years before any of the present officials were elected.
In Ocean City, elected officials generally seem to feel Worcester should be more thankful for all that the resort brings to the county as far as tax dollars. In Worcester, past and current officials have privately stewed over a perceived arrogance among city officials.
Summits have been held in the past between city and county officials to discuss ongoing specific issues, such as the tax differential that surfaces every year around budget times and a traditional team opposition to gambling in this area. However, it has never been a warm and cozy relationship, and it's almost as if there are competing interests at play at times from my perspective.
Meehan specifically mentioned the ongoing strain this week, referring to current communication as a "wall" this week. County officials seemed surprised to hear of his concerns over communication with Commissioner Louise Gulyas, who represents Ocean City at the county level, saying, "there is no wall." County Commission President Bud Church, whose district includes Ocean City but owns a resort-based real estate company, said, "there are two sides to that wall. … I didn't really feel there was a there, but if y our perception is that there's a wall there we'll take the wall down."
Whether there is a "wall" or not, communication has long been a problem and maybe this week's little chat will see improved relations in the future. However, that doesn't mean Ocean City should expect to see the county grant its request to restore the 2009 funding. That's simply not going to happen by my estimation, considering the county is likely going to give salaries increase to its staff members as well as be facing what could be as much as $650,000 in new Sheriff's Office expenses for the 13 new school resource officers (using a conservative salary/benefit total per employee of $50,000).
Concerns are arising among Berlin officials regarding the impact of the relocation of the county-owned liquor store outside of town limits. At a recent meeting, the Department of Liquor Control (DLC) confirmed it will shutter its West Ocean City store to create a flagship store on Route 50. The Berlin store is going to close, but when that will happen has not been confirmed. Nonetheless, the plan is to eventually close it and merge it with the new and larger store.
During this week's annual "beg-a-thon" where town officials present their budget requests to the County Commissioners, Berlin Mayor Gee Williams raised a valid question. He wondered when the Berlin store is closed what will happen to the DLC's annual contribution to the town. Annually, the DLC, and its darker predecessor, the LCB, divvied up profits among the various municipalities in the county.
"We totally agree with efficiency and whatever is the best service for the public and all that," the Berlin mayor said. "But we have to say for many, many years we received over $100,000 … for that to go from $100,000 to nothing is a bit of a cut to swallow."
County officials assured Williams whatever happens they will be fair to Berlin. It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out in future months.


text: Kirk's early starfleet career has been mentioned a few times. Any ideas on whether or not the new film will honor: 1) Kirk's first assignment out of the Academy was the USS Farragut. He was a Lieutenant upon leaving the Academy or during at least part of that tour. 2) Kirk served as an Ensign aboard the USS Republic where he exposed an error by his friend Ben Finney. This might have been while he was still at the academy (midshipman's cruise?) if he was a Lieutenant upon graduation. Finney named his daughter after Kirk (Jamie) so they were pretty good friends. 3) Kirk's nemesis at the Academy was an upperclassmen named Finnegan. 4) Kirk was an instructor at the Academy and Gary Mitchell was one of his students. 5) Kirk was the only student to beat the "no-win" scenario at the Academy. Hopefully, in the new film, the Enterprise won't be Kirks offical first assignment.
