Bird seed and a deck chair are just some of the odd things thieves have stolen from vehicles in the last 12 months.
West Yorkshire Police are urging drivers not to leave anything on display after also revealing that opportunistic thieves had also taken a bag of crisps, an umbrella, and old cups and saucers from vehicles in the region.
Operations are being carried out across the county to crack down on crime and thefts, but Chris Joyce, Force Crime Prevention Officer for West Yorkshire Police, said the public can do its bit to help.
"This type of crime is one that can be easily prevented at no cost whatsoever other than a few seconds of time," he said.
"The consequences of not removing items from your vehicle on leaving it unoccupied can be very upsetting and frustrating. Not having the use of your vehicle whilst it is being repaired can have a significant impact on your day to day life, both on a personal and professional level, and this is in addition to having something stolen from you needlessly.
"It's very easy to think 'it won't happen to me' or 'I'll pop back out to the car to get my stuff later', but later may be too late. It takes seconds to remove items from your vehicle and lock it, the same amount of time it takes a thief to steal them. Crime prevention is everyone's business and it's vital that we do all that we can to reduce the opportunity for crime to occur."
Mr Joyce said that it was "extremely important that all items are removed from your vehicle on leaving it unoccupied whether parking at a public car park, on street or outside of your home".
Tips which drivers can follow to protect their property and deter thieves include:
• Never leave a car door unlocked or a window or a sunroof open, even at a petrol station or outside of a shop.
• Remove everything from your car on leaving it unoccupied, including route finders, mobile phones, wallets/purses, money, CD's, clothing, personal computers and documentation.
• Satellite navigation system holders should not be left attached to the windscreen, as this advertises the fact that you may have a device, and don't forget to wipe the suction marks off the windscreen when you remove it.
• If you use your vehicle for business purposes, remove any equipment or tools from it on leaving it for however short a period of time.
• If you have a garage at home it, but remember to secure your vehicle inside.

Lietuvos rytas 73:63 Ventspils
JV's statline:
29:42 minutes
14 points
8 rebounds
1 assist
1 block
2 turnovers
2 fouls
4 fouls drawn
I have to say, I really like the consistency JV is showing in men's basketball being just 19 years old.
From http://www.vtb-league.com
Our web-site conducted a poll, offering its visitors to name MVP of the League regular season. By the results the first place took the center of Lietuvos Rytas Jonas Valanciunas (36 per cent - of respondents). Among three of the best players in fans' version are the center of Khimki Kreshemir Loncar (22%) and CSKA forward Andrey Kirilenko (14%).
We remind that this regular season Jonas Valanciunas became the best in two statistical ratings - rebounds (8.0 per game) and block shots (1.75), and he also got to the top three ranking of effective actions (16.5 points – only Kresimir Loncar and Courtney Sims gained more) In addition, a 19-year-old Lithuanian center in February was name MVP of the month.
The holder of MVP title of the regular season VTB United League-2011/12 will be officially named in April. Most valuable player of the regular season will be set due to poll on the League's web-site, players' efficiency rate (sum of statistic rates), MVP of the month titles and being in month's symbolic five during current season and VTB United League council experts' and Sport-Express newspaper opinion.
A few snips that caught my eye:
Euroleague Basketball is pleased to announce Jonas Valanciunas of Lietuvos Rytas as the fourth annual winner of the Eurocup Rising Star Trophy. The 19-year-old center has put together a tremendous season for his club, controlling the paint on both ends of the floor to help Rytas reach the 2012 Eurocup Finals. The Eurocup Rising Star Trophy recognizes the most outstanding player in the competition who was younger than 22 on July 1 of the summer before the season started.Simply put, Valanciunas has dominated the Eurocup like few his age ever have. His productivity and talent combined with his role in leading Rytas so deep into the competition make Valanciunas the natural choice as the 2011-12 Eurocup Rising Star!Valanciunas came off a great summer, in which he led the Lithuanian under-19 team to the gold medal at the World Championships and also played for Lithuanias senior national team at EuroBasket 2011. Already a basketball icon in Lithuania, Valanciunas then helped L. Rytas to finish the Eurocup Regular Season undefeated with some stellar performances along the way, especially in front of his fans at Siemens Arena. He had 12 points and 8 rebounds against Azovmash and did even better 13 points and 11 rebounds in 19 minutes against Le Mans. He even raised his playing level in the Last 16 stage, especially after Rytas's opening loss against Lokomotiv Kuban. He had 17 points and 10 rebounds against Benetton and barely missed another double-double 12 points and 9 boards against Alba Berlin. When Rytas faced a make-or-break road game in Treviso, Valanciunas delivered with 17 points on 7-of-9 shooting and 7 rebounds in a critical 74-80 win. Valanciunas continued to shine with team highs of 14 points, 8.5 rebounds and a 22.5 index in the two-game quarterfinals series against BC Donetsk to secure a berth at the Eurocup Finals. This far he has averaged 11.3 points on 64.1% shooting, 80% free throw shooting, 7.9 rebounds, 1.6 blocks and 3.5 fouls drawn in this Eurocup season.
Love reading this stuff. Thanks to all who post the snippets.
Write up from L. Rytas website:
Box score from this game.VENTSPILS, Latvia Lietuvos Rytas have made a strong statement in moving into the Final Four, defeating Ventspils 79-69 on Monday night, to be the only team to move into the Final Four with a clean sweep record in the quarter finals.
Running out to a 13-point lead by the end of the opening quarter on the back of some wayward shooting from their hosts, the red and blacks were able to do enough to hold on over the remaining 30 minutes in a less-than-perfect performance.
Jonas Valanciunas and Mindaugas Katelynas lead the guests with 14 points apiece.
The game could not have started any worse for the hosts who hit just one-of-14 shots from the floor in the first 10 minutes with Arturs Berzins picking up their solitary five points in the opening frame.
Berzins finished the night with 11 points, just one of two Ventspils players to make it into double figures.
Gundars Vetra's team found their offensive rhythm in the second quarter but it was not enough to see them make a dent in their visitors' lead as Valanciunas' used his height under the hoop to pick up six points and two rebounds in the frame, despite sharing his time on court with Predrag Samardziski.
Going point-for-point with Lietuvos Rytas after the break, Ventspils season was going to need a late miracle if it was going to remain alive.
A pair of Jahmar Young free-throws with three-and-a-half minutes to play gave Ventspils a slight glimmer of hope as the lead was cut to eight points.
However, time was working against Ventspils as their tactic to foul heavily in the dying stages proved fruitless with Lietuvos Rytas' shooters retaining cool heads at the free-throw line.
Video Highlights:
"The 19-year-old center has put together a tremendous season for his club, controlling the paint on both ends of the floor to help Rytas reach the 2012 Eurocup Finals. The Eurocup Rising Star Trophy recognizes the most outstanding player in the competition who was younger than 22 on July 1 of the summer before the season started. Motiejunas, who will turn 20 years on May 6, has shown maturity beyond his years, changing games on defense, while posting quite productive numbers on offense"
Is this a result of Lithuanian auto correct?
Can someone give me a link or tell me the stats of JV in his previous seasons in the LKL? Couldn't find more than this page: http://www.lkl.lt/en/player/jonas-valanciunas/
I cant take it anymore, all this hype is freaking killing me, and its not even summer!!! Right now with everything Ive read Im convinced JV is some sort of hall-of-fame material.
L. Rytas lose to Zalgiris (minus Weems), 86-81.
JV stat line:
12 points
6 rebs
2 blk
2 turnovers
Box score
It's only natural that players stats might drop into the end of the season where the opponents get tougher (finals, playoffs etc.) and the team is more focused on winning and not individual performances. I'm just happy that Jonas doesn't really have BAD games. He either plays good or veryyy good. Such consistency for a 19 year old kid says a lot.
Whoa, sorry. I thought it was obvious I was making a joke. I don't think JV is the kind of player who could dissappoint me. I believe if he has a bad game, he will only learn from it and come back stronger. I would have put a smiley in there but I believed is was so obvious I was joking I didn't need to. That's the problem with forums. Can't get conversational tone across.
Go JV

OBETZ, Ohio — Jeff Cunningham slid behind the FC Dallas defense in sync with the weighted ball from Emilio Rentería and took a first touch on the right side of the penalty area.
As goalkeeper Kevin Hartman tried to cover the near post, Cunningham unleashed a low shot that he hoped would put him in the record book. Instead, the ball settled outside the target and into the side netting for a goal kick.
The play occurred in the 62nd minute of the Crew's third game on April 1. At that point, it seemed inevitable that Cunningham would get a goal to tie the MLS career mark of 133 set by Jaime Moreno.
The goal would also break the Crew team mark of 62 that he shares with Brian McBride and equal McBride's 169 points, another club record.
Cunningham, whose contract was not renewed by FCD after 2010 and was claimed in the MLS Re-Entry Draft by the Crew, started and played 61 minutes in the season-opener against D.C. United before not being used in the second match.
He then came off the bench for 30 minutes vs. FC Dallas and recorded his first shot of year with the misfire on Hartman.
But since those 91 minutes through three games, Cunningham has appeared in only three of the last seven matches, for a combined 40 minutes. He has taken one more shot (April 16 vs. Sporting KC) and has yet to put one on goal.
Moreno's record looks safe for the moment.
"Maybe he's pressing to do a little bit more than he normally would," Crew technical director Brian Bliss said of Cunningham. "It's human nature. I would feel it, too, in that situation. It's a weight that's on him.
"Does he deserve more minutes? Maybe down the road based on the last couple of substitutions where he's shown more than he did the first three or four times at the beginning," Bliss added. "I still think he'll get it. It's just a matter of when."
Cunningham, 34, dropped to fourth on the forward depth chart behind Rentería, Andrés Mendoza (the team's Designated Player) and Tommy Heinemann, who spent the past two years in the D2 ranks.
Rentería will miss Saturday's match against Chivas USA (7:30 pm ET; Direct Kick, MatchDay Live) because of a left quadriceps strain, so there's a good chance Cunningham could start or at least play, depending whether coach Robert Warzycha goes with one or two forwards.
"Hopefully, the [goal] is going to be against Chivas," Warzycha said. "If he scores once, there's going to be a bunch."
That, though, remains to be seen. Warzycha said Cunningham has to be used in the right situations.
"If it's a skillful guy in the box it's going to be Jeff," he said. "If we're defending and need a guy who has a little bit of speed, it might be somebody else. If we have a lot of crosses, it may be Heinemann."
If Cunningham is frustrated by his lack of playing time, he's not saying so publicly because he hasn't spoken to the media in roughly a month.
"There's no complaints about his attitude," Bliss said. "He's been very professional, conducted himself well. I said these things about him before he came to us. I think he's lived up to it."

Six Nations
O'Driscoll braced for stamp verdict
ESPN Staff

Brian O'Driscoll is set to find out today what punishment he will face for his stamp on Italy's Simone Favaro in Ireland's Six Nations defeat in Rome.
The centre was due to appear before an independent disciplinary committee in London this morning after being cited over the incident, which clouded what is thought to have been his 125th and final Test in a green shirt. O'Driscoll was sent to the sin-bin for only the second time in his 14-year professional career in the first half of the match at the Stadio Olimpico, which Ireland lost 22-15.
The 34-year-old lifted his right leg and brought it down on to the chest of Favaro, the Italy openside, who yelled out in pain and writhed around on the turf. The act was out of character for O'Driscoll, who has a fine disciplinary record, and was evidence of his frustration as Ireland slumped to a first Six Nations defeat by Italy.
However, he was lucky to have escaped a red card. The recommended suspension for a low end stamping offence is two weeks, the mid-range five weeks and top end nine weeks, up to a maximum of one year.
While the offence was serious, O'Driscoll's lack of previous disciplinary issues will count in his favour. It will be hoped by his province Leinster that he is available for the Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-final against Wasps on April 5 and for as much of their RaboDirect PRO12 title push as possible. The disciplinary committee will be chaired by Robert Williams, along with Mike Hamlin and John Doubleday.

My Deodorant Is a Stainless Steel Bar
May 6, 2010 by Julia Wasson
Filed under Alzheimer's, Blog, Body and Bath, Front Page, Health, Personal Care, Slideshow
When the public relations rep for De Odor Works contacted me to try their new deodorant bar made of stainless steel, I was skeptical, but willing. After all, I've seen concerns in the media about the connection between deodorants/antiperspirants and Alzheimer's disease, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. So, trying a deodorant that doesn't have aluminum in it seemed like a good idea.
Sweat Doesn't Smell
But let's talk about the difference between a deodorant and an antiperspirant. Sweat itself doesn't smell. So sweat is not the enemy. Your body — and mine — has several kinds of bacteria that live on the skin, and some of those cause odors. It's not the bacteria themselves that smell, either, but the waste products they produce after eating those sweat-laden, dead skin cells and "breaking down protein into certain acids," according to Medical News Today.
The upshot is that we don't really need to prevent sweating; we need to prevent the bacteria from excreting their foul-smelling waste products on our skin — or at least keep the waste products from smelling. That's what De Odor Works, manufactured by Abbott Research Group, Inc. (not connected to Abbott Laboratories), is supposed to do. "Its secret," Abbott Research Group says, "is the unique reaction that occurs when ordinary running tap water and stainless steel combine to neutralize odor. Using stainless steel with running water is a recognized method of eliminating the volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) that cause odor. Stainless steel is biocompatible to human tissue, so you can use De Odor Works anywhere on your body without any adverse effects."
Whole-Body Deodorant
And they mean "anywhere." The product insert diagrams show people using the medical-grade stainless steel bar under their arms, on the soles of their feet, and even in the groin area (both men and women). Rub the area "gently for approximately 30 seconds under running water," the instructions say. The lightweight (about 2 oz.) bar is contoured to fit an adult hand, and easy to grip, even in the shower. (You don't need soap on your hands when using it, so there's no danger of it slipping out of your fingers.)
I've been using De Odor Works for about a month now, with good success. So far, no one has objected to sitting next to me — at least to my knowledge! And I've only had one occasion when I could tell that the deodorant action wasn't fully working. It was a hot, muggy day when I had been pulling weeds and planting in the garden. (And to be fair, my eau de armpit may have been eau de neck and back and other body parts where I hadn't applied the De Odor Works bar. But I definitely wasn't as inviting to be around as I strive to be.)
Will it work on the muggiest of summer days in Iowa? I'm guessing the deodorant effect will be fine, but I may not appreciate the fact that it doesn't stop me from sweating. De Odor Works isn't an antiperspirant, after all; it's just a deodorant.
Inconclusive Studies
Now back to those claims in the media about the dangers of antiperspirants/deodorants. According to the National Cancer Institute:
[R]esearchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), a part of the National Institutes of Health, are not aware of any conclusive evidence linking the use of underarm antiperspirants or deodorants and the subsequent development of breast cancer. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates food, cosmetics, medicines, and medical devices, also does not have any evidence or research data that ingredients in underarm antiperspirants or deodorants cause cancer.
And what about Alzheimer's disease? Here's what the Alzheimer's Association has to say:
During the 1960s and 1970s, aluminum emerged as a possible suspect in Alzheimer's. This suspicion led to concern about exposure to aluminum through everyday sources such as pots and pans, beverage cans, antacids and antiperspirants. Since then, studies have failed to confirm any role for aluminum in causing Alzheimer's.
This may all be true, but rumors persist. And more than one person I know points out that the studies cited above were "inconclusive" — neither proving nor disproving a link between the aluminum in antiperspirants and disease. According to Web MD:
One of the most publicized and controversial theories concerns aluminum, which became a suspect in Alzheimer's disease when researchers found traces of this metal in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease. Many studies since then have either not been able to confirm this finding or have had questionable results….
One study found that people who used antiperspirants and antacids containing aluminum had a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's. Others have also reported an association between aluminum exposure and Alzheimer's disease.
On the other hand, various studies have found that groups of people exposed to high levels of aluminum do not have an increased risk…. On the whole, scientists can say only that it is still uncertain whether exposure to aluminum plays a role in Alzheimer's disease.
And here's what Wikipedia reports on the connection between aluminum and disease:
A 1998 study stated the use of aluminium-containing antiperspirants has been linked with the systemic accumulation of aluminium which increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease.[7] A 2007 study stated personal care products are a potential contributor to the body burden of aluminium and newer evidence has linked breast cancer with aluminium-based antiperspirants.[8] A 2008 study stated that no scientific evidence supports the hypothesis that deodorants and/or antiperspirants increase the incidence of breast cancer.[9]
A Good Buy
Do you worry about the aluminum (and other chemicals) in antiperspirants and deodorants? If you do, consider using De Odor Works. It costs $19.95 (plus shipping) if ordered on the company website. With deodorant/antiperspirants selling for $1.99 (Old Spice) to $8.29 on sale (Secret Clinical Strength) at DrugStore.com, it won't take too many months before you'll save the purchase price. And, though it may seem weird to share a deodorant, you could easily share with your spouse (assuming you have one) without getting grossed out. The De Odor Works bar stays nice and clean under warm running water. It's guaranteed for a full year, though I can't imagine what could go wrong to make it less than usable for years to come.
So, I'm a believer in De Odor Works — at least until the summer gets muggy here in Iowa. By then, I might just want an antiperspirant for comfort, even if I'm odor free. Have you tried De Odor Works in a humid climate? If so, please let us know how well it works.
One more thing. A lot of people I know are now using the deodorant crystals instead of traditional deodorant/antiperspirants you can buy in the grocery store. Wikipedia says,
Over-the-counter products labelled as "natural deodorant crystal" containing the chemical potassium alum have gained newfound popularity as an alternative health product.[17] A popular alternative to modern commercial deodorants is ammonium alum, which is a common type of alum sold in crystal form and often referred to as a deodorant crystal. It has been used as a deodorant throughout history in Thailand, the Far East, Mexico and other countries.
If you use these deodorant crystals to avoid aluminum, you might be surprised to learn that some of them contain "hydrated potassium aluminium sulfate with the formula KAl(SO4)2.12H2O" according to Wikipedia.
Abbott Research Group has applied the same stainless steel technology to a new feminine hygiene product, a vaginal cleansing system that helps "resolve vaginal odor and discharge issues among women seeking help." The "medical-grade, lightweight stainless steel nozzle and low-pressure water combination is designed for easy, reusable use in the shower as part of a daily routine," according to the WaterWorks PR group. Whether using a douche as a part of a daily routine is a good idea is a topic best taken up with a woman's gynecologist or family practitioner.
What's promising about this particular system is that it uses no chemicals and relies entirely on a low flow of warm water through a stainless steel wand to eliminate vaginal odor. The water flows gently downward, avoiding the danger of spurting into the uterus. Many physicians caution healthy women against douching. But for those women who have a persistent vaginal odor that they just can't control with daily showers, it may be worth a try. Check with your physician to see if it's right for you. No prescription is required.
At the time of this post, WaterWorks sells for $69.90 on the Abbott Research Group's Waterworks website. (Currently, shipping is free.)

I just bought a wired router to hook up my two computers and it is working ok so far except for one disconnect.
I am using AT ans T as my internet service provider and it is a PPPoE type where I have to sign in my username and password each time I want to log onto the internet.
I set the wired router to disconnect after four hours, and apparantly it did, but then I could not reconnect to the internet and so reset the router to
be"alway on," where it would keep checking that the internet was connected every 30 seconds and if the internet did disconnect the router would automatically reconnect for me.
I had no problems initially setting up the router and so did not make any changes that the router did not automatically set up for me (except for giving the router my AT and T username and password.)
But I am concerned about being constantly connected to the internet and whether my computer is safe or not.
Is my computer safe if I am connected to the internet but my computer is turned off ?
If my computer is turned off doesn't that mean that Zone Alarm is off and I am more vulnerable ?
I have altered no settings in Zone Alarm since setting up the router except
for when Zone Alarm noted my new network connection (upon the router being set up) where it asked me whether to
set it for "Trusted"
"Internet." I chose "Trusted" because ZA
is on my two home computers although my computers are not configured for sharing in any way other than through this ZA setting; I am just using the router to share an internet connection, not to share info between the two computers.
So, my question is: is it safe to have a constant internet connection ?
Would it be safer to log off my username and password each time I sign off, and then relog in when I want to log back in (does it make a difference ?)
My ignorance on this is making me very nervous and I feel like my computer is just "out there" with a big ole "Come and Get Me Sign" on it.
Any advice would be appreciated :8}
In case you have not guessed, this whole router thing is totally greek to me :8}
My router is a: Linksys Etherfast Cable/DSL Router with 4 Port Switch.
Operating System:Windows XP Home Edition
Software Version:6.5
Product Name:ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite

I ordered more after one week
By Cajane
from San Jose Area
I got 3 for my front yard after reading all the reviews. I like that the stake is metal and screws together. it is important to put the ground stake in first and add to this. within a week I ordered 3 more for other side of garage walkway or in back yard. does not provide huge amount of light but enough to light area underneath so can be used on a path.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Elegant style but poor quality
By Heidi
from Riverside, RI
I was very excited about the looks of the product but it's poor quality soon became evident. As I was placing the stem into the body of one lamp it snapped off. Then I tried charging the lamp in the sun and the instructions said to turn it on. The on/off switch is a push in switch and we can not tell when it is off and when it is on. I've tried charging it during two full sunny days now (alternating the on/off switch setting by one push) with no results. I will be returning the two I bought.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great Product
By Nanette
from CT
These are very low profile but provide great light. I started with two last year and bought two more. Be careful when pushing down into the ground (don't push from top, push from the stake itself), I broke one installing it. The first two were installed last summer and are still there through Hurricane Sandy and several big snow storms - they never faltered. Will buy more this year!
nice design!
By Ruby
from Western NC
This product adds just the right amount of light where my driveway meets my garden path, subtly and safely directing foot traffic to my front door.

Rangers likely to miss former teammates
By T.R. Sullivan / MLB.com
BALTIMORE -- Don't expect to see former Rangers pitchers Scott Feldman and C.J. Wilson on the mound during the upcoming homestand against the Astros and the Rangers. Neither is expected to pitch against their former teams.
Feldman is scheduled to pitch against the Angels on Saturday. The way the Astros rotation is set up, the Rangers will likely see Brad Peacock, Brett Oberholtzer and Dallas Keuchel in a three-game series that starts on Monday in Arlington.
Wilson is scheduled to pitch Friday against the Astros and again on Wednesday against the Blue Jays, the day before the Angels begin their four-game series against the Rangers. The Angels play the Astros and Blue Jays in Anaheim so it's unlikely that the Angels rotation will be altered by weather. Wilson has yet to face the Rangers this season.
The Rangers are scheduled to face Mets right-hander Bartolo Colon on Saturday at Citi Field although heavy rain is expected on the Atlantic Seaboard both Thursday and Friday. Colon is 20-8 with a 3.47 ERA in 33 career starts against the Rangers. That's the most victories ever by an opponent against the Rangers.
Sundberg retiring as club executive
BALTIMORE -- The Rangers announced that Jim Sundberg will retire at the end of the season. Sundberg has been serving in the Rangers front office since 2004 and as senior executive vice president since October of 2008.
In all, Sundberg has spent over 30 years with the Rangers as a player, executive, broadcaster and Minor League instructor. He is a charter member of the Rangers Hall of Fame after winning six Gold Gloves as a catcher while in Texas.
"While I am stepping away from a full-time role, I look forward to continuing my long association with the Texas Rangers organization," said Sundberg. "Being involved in the community has always held a special place for me, and I will remain involved in that capacity."
Sundberg spent 16 seasons in the Major Leagues with the Rangers, Brewers, Royals and Cubs. He was a three-time All-Star and won a World Series as the Royals starting catcher in 1985. He retired after the 1989 season and spent six years as a Rangers broadcaster. He returned to the Rangers as a Minor League instructor in 2002 before joining the front office two years later.
The Jim Sundberg Community Achievement Award is given annually to a Rangers player who best emulates Sundberg's civic-minded efforts in the Dallas-Fort Worth area during his playing career and afterwards. Sundberg was also instrumental in raising the scope of the Rangers Alumni Legacy program and the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation.
Pena returns to lineup
BALTIMORE -- Carlos Pena was back in the lineup on Wednesday with right-hander Chris Tillman on the mound for the Orioles after getting the night off Tuesday with a left-hander starter.
"I always try to use a day off to my advantage, whether it's getting an extra workout or doing extra things to take care of my body," Pena said. "Whatever helps me get ready for the next day."
Pena went into Wednesday's game with three hits in 26 at-bats since being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock. Pena was 8-for-24 in seven games at Round Rock after signing a Minor League contract with the Rangers on June 17. Prior to that, Pena had not played since Spring Training but said the limited number of games did not have anything to do with his production at the plate.
"I feel pretty good," Pena said. "I'm putting together good at-bats and putting good swings on the ball. After that, it is out of your hands. I feel fine."
Manager Ron Washington said he is not seeing a lack of timing at the plate with Pena and had him back at the No. 3 spot on Wednesday.
"He's just not getting hits," Washington said. "I see some good swings and swings that just miss. He has had almost 30 at-bats here and 30 down there. Hopefully in the next 40 at-bats he'll have some consistency in what he is trying to do."
Weather could impact Darvish's All-Star plans
BALTIMORE -- Online All-Star voting ends on Thursday, but the most significant event impacting the All-Star Game could be happening on the Atlantic Seaboard. With Hurricane Arthur crawling up the East Coast, there is a growing possibility that the Rangers' game with the Orioles on Thursday night could be rained out. The forecasts are calling for a 70-90 percent chance of rain.
Yu Darvish is scheduled to pitch for the Rangers on Thursday. A rainout would push him back to either Friday or Saturday against the Mets. Another rainout on Friday is a possibility.
Either way, a rainout on Thursday would mean that Darvish would likely get only two more starts before the All-Star break. One would be this weekend in New York and the other would be either Wednesday or Thursday in Arlington. He would not pitch on the final Sunday before the All-Star break and that would make him available to pitch in the All-Star Game on July 15 in Minnesota.
With that amount of rest, Darvish could emerge as a prime candidate to start for the American League. The only other Rangers pitcher to start an All-Star game was Kevin Brown in 1992. Darvish has been selected to two All-Star Games but has yet to pitch.
"That's a scenario, but tomorrow hasn't gotten here yet," Rangers manager Ron Washington said.
Worth noting
• Catcher Geovany Soto has passed all his tests and is scheduled to fly back to Texas on Thursday. Soto, who has been on the disabled list since the end of Spring Training after undergoing surgery on his right knee, is scheduled tp begin a medical rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Friday and catch five innings. He is hoping to be activated on July 18 when the Rangers open the second half in Toronto.
• Miles Mikolas is the 11th starting pitcher used by the Rangers this season, the most in the Majors.
• Outfielder Engel Beltre, who had been sidelined since Spring Training because of a fractured right tibia, is 3-for-19 in his first four games on a medical rehabilitation assignment at Triple-A Round Rock.
• The Rangers have signed right-handed pitcher Jeffrey Nunez from the Dominican Republic, according to MLB.Com's Jesse Sanchez. He was signed for $250,000, the maximum the Rangers can pay under their limitations. He is 16 years old.

Polo Ralph Lauren blue pant from Addicted seen with Boris Kodjoe (Jason Reynard)
As Seen on Jason Reynard (Boris Kodjoe) in Addicted
Stylish Husband: Zoe Reynard (Sharon Leal) is the kind of women other girls love to hate--beautiful, adored by her husband and a bloodhound for the trendiest outfits. But even her come hither lace dresses and sleek silk blouses can't save her from a growing new addiction to handsome and dangerous boy toys. The only questions are, will Zoe beat away her addiction and can her amazing wardrobe please stay?
Jason Reynard (Boris Kodjoe) may be a somewhat forgetful, busy husband but there's nothing to complain about in the wardrobe department. When not in crisp suits and striped ties, he is killing it in the casual sportswear department, layering in aqua hues and mixing in trendy accessories. Jason even takes us by surprise with his casual interpretation of the v-neck and blazer combo by layering in a peekaboo crew neck tee.

So lovely and near at the same time
Istria | The way to the next vacation can sometimes be so close: Just a few hours journey time by car it takes to reach the sunny peninsula Istria in Croatia when approaching from Italy. The abundance of Mediterranean vegetation appears here particularly in form of picturesque wine hills, lush green forests and olive groves which stretch out along the turquoise coloured Mediterranean Sea. Vacationers appreciate Istria not only for its delightful landscape but also for its many great beaches which can be found here along Croatian Adriatic Coast. Particularly nice conditions for a beach vacation and at the same time a big choice of holiday apartments and houses are offered for example in Medulin which is a former fishing town on the southern tip of Istria. The blue sea and the marvellous beaches don't only lure sun lovers and occasional swimmers: Whether windsurfing or diving – Medulin is also an ideal water sport area. Not far away from Medulin is the town of Pula. In Istria's biggest town – and at the same time the cultural and economic centre – you can visit the gigantic amphitheatre and the well preserved Augustus Temple both dating back to the Roman era. The popular resort Poreč situated in the western part of Istria has a number of nice beaches and is also an ideal starting point of many day trips – for example to the islands of Brijuni or into the idyllic hinterland. Those who are on the search for a tan might want to pop to one of the many offshore islands that are serviced by boat shuttles where you can alternatively seek a shady place. If you are looking to cool off a visit to a nearby limestone cave Baredine could be a good option. Another great place to recharge your batteries is the charming spa resort Opatija which lies on the other side Istria on the border to Kvarner Gulf.
atraveo provides you with more than 9,500 holiday apartments and houses in Istria. Many of them are situated around the bigger towns of Pula, Poreč, Medulin, Rabac and Umag. But there are also some pretty holiday homes on offer away from the major centres. You can find more information and tips also in the holiday home selection for Istria.

Today is a extremely sad day in facepunch history. One of the original GMod creators and famous YouTube personalities passed away in a tragic accident. I don't know the full details yet but his family have been informed.
Whether you've been "trolled" by him or simply enjoyed his fantastic "nope.avi" videos, he was certainly one of a kind.
RIP Jim, you'll be sorely missed by all.

EA Sports boss dreams of the surf
Thirteen years ago, a young sports nut from Geelong was living a dream, working at a video games studio that was making a surfing simulation. A surfer himself - as well as a martial artist, swimmer, cyclist, and runner - he was looking forward to helping create the world's first successful surfing game.
Sadly, the dream was not to become a reality. "Back then, BMX and skating and those kinds of games were big on the charts," he told me, "and everyone was sure that surfing was going to be the next big thing."
Before his own game was completed, however, three competitors released their own surfing games, and all three of them received mediocre reviews and were sales disasters. Rather than risk similar losses, the publisher closed down his project. "My project, my surfing game, was killed. It left a hole in my soul."
That young man's name was Andrew Wilson, and after this disappointment he moved on the bigger things - much bigger. He is better known these days as the Executive Vice President of EA Sports, the sporting label of international game publishing giant Electronic Arts.
I asked him how a boy from Geelong made such an incredible trek through the video gaming landscape, and he laughed. "Luck is the short answer," he said. "Then again, my dad always said that the harder you work, the luckier you get, and I've certainly worked hard. I put in thirteen years of blood, sweat, and tears in the trenches."
Whether it was primarily hard work or luck, Wilson forged an enviable career path, working on some of the biggest franchises in sports gaming. After his surfing game folded, he worked on some rugby and AFL titles, then moved to the UK. There he led the team that turned around the fortunes of the struggling FIFA football franchise, turning it into the power-house it remains today.
Now he is running the entire EA Sports brand, a publishing label worth billions, and he is still achieving milestones. At EA's pre-E3 press conference this year, Wilson took the stage to announce that EA had purchased the rights to Ultimate Fighting Championship from struggling publisher THQ. Speaking to me this week, it's clear he is thrilled.
"I've been a fan of UFC forever," he said. "Back in the early days of UFC I used to watch it on VHS tapes, so you can work out how long ago that was. I've had the great fortune to train in jujitsu with some amazing teachers, and this is a love of mine that goes to my very core."
EA has attempted to break into mixed martial arts previously, but without the official UFC licence, Wilson felt it was lacking something. "I think that was the worst feature of an otherwise good game, not having the UFC licence," he told me.
Now that EA and UFC are together, he sees it as a mutually beneficial relationship. "The UFC guys are very smart, and very passionate about the growth of their sport," he said, "so now we can come together and promote it."
After such a coup, Wilson is still looking to the future. I asked if there were any sports that are not currently included in EA's line-up that he would like to see them tackle, and his response was immediate. "Oh, a surfing game, definitely," he admitted. "I had a passion for surfing back when that game was cancelled, and I still do today, and after all these years I still dream of creating a great surfing game."
So, that "hole in his soul" is still there? "Oh yeah. I might not ever get to fill that hole, but god help me I'm going to try."

Where Do Idols Go When They Die?: Why the Winner of The Voice Is a Good Thing for Music
[There was a video here]
It was down to four on last night's season two finale of The Voice: Team Christina's mom-popper Chris Mann, Team Cee-Lo's Juliet Simms, Team Blake's soul crooner Jermaine Paul, and Team Adam's wind-up dancing troubadour Tony Lucca. One won. It was...
(Spoiler alert. Drumroll. Kazoo. Burp.)
Jermaine Paul, whom I'd never heard before this week, was the obvious choice just seconds into his performance of R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly" on Monday's episode. Paul is plainly handsome and has an incredibly strong chest voice that he isn't afraid of screaming through for effect. He carried that volatility offstage, too: When pop barely-was Christina Milian interviewed him after the performance, he wept. That he was clearly moved by himself was slightly distasteful, although not off the mark for a burgeoning pop star, whose self-investment will be key to his success: He was just respecting his own brand.
Now the question is: will American actually hire him as its superstar? After one season, The Voice's track record for creating stars is laughable: last season's winner, Javier Colon (I know, right: who?) peaked at No. 134 on the Billboard 200 with his post-Voice album, Come Through for You. In contrast, an album that he released nine years earlier (before American Idol redefined the music industry) peaked at No. 91.
Paul faces an uphill battle in terms of format, too, as the grown and sexy soul singer is not so in vogue these days, not even on the R&B charts, really. Usher and R. Kelly are basically the only soulful superstars who can actually sing and sell. That Chris Brown represents to some kids what Teddy Pendergrass once did makes me want to stab out my eardrums and eyeballs. Trends come and go, and it's not ridiculous to imagine a church-invoking soul singer once again ascending to the top of the charts, especially in this time of supposed investment in vocal prowess. If Paul is lucky, he'll be that guy. If he isn't, he'll be America's next top Ruben Studdard. I'm rooting for the former scenario.
But of course I am — I was able to swoop in this week, evaluate the four finalists completely out of context and pick my favorite just based on my taste. They were all so compartmentalized by genre that I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out that this thing is rigged. The spread of styles was just too perfect.
It's strange, this emphasis we put on context and watching ascents to fame. It's an intensifying of our tabloid interests and pop's general lack of mystique in the first place (typically in pop music, outside factors like life story and music videos and public antics only enhance the listening experience). But it also betrays the simple, visceral connection one can make to a song. In the end, I wonder if context doesn't obscure more than it enhances.
As impartial of an observer to this overblown, low-energy spectacle of a finale that sparkle-trotted on for four hours this week and featured Darryl Hall & John Oates doing "Rich Girl" and Justin Bieber somnambulist-swagging through "Girlfriend," Christina Aguilera's protege Chris Mann seems the most likely to succeed. The Grobans and Bublés and Adeles of the world — those who appeal to an older audience — are the ones who move units, especially in the long run. That's the world Mann is looking to penetrate. Smart guy (although his cover of the Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony" skewed too Broadway to appeal to the masses). Adam Levine's Tony Lucca seemed way too vague of a performer when he wasn't just being douchebag (please, white people, stop making rap songs into sung songs, as Lucca did with a pandering, bluesy riff on Jay-Z's "99 Problems"). Cee-Lo Green's Juliet Simms is one of those pseudo-rowdy Joplin-esque types that only seems to exist on these shows (and even worse, her thin pipes were an inadequate backup to her image). Where do broken bad girls go when the season ends?
All the while, we were inundated with in-jokes: Blake Shelton/Adam Levine bromance, Cee-Lo's cat, Aguilera's inability to get along with anyone. It all seemed so half-hearted, as though the pointlessness of it all had settled in to those giant-backed chairs long ago. All reality-competition shows emphasize the means while the end remains kind of elusive — will the winner make something of this, and will we even care if he or she doesn't? Now with his prize of a Universal Republic recording contract (good luck with that), the 32-year-old Paul is looking to reverse that process, like everyone else who's won before him has attempted. I'm hoping that his end, in particular, is a happy one.

What is this bird please?
Each year i do a beached bird survey in the Lowestoft area for RSPB and i always find the wings only of an unknown species - see photo. Can anyone i/d it please? I've asked around but with no success.
This looks like a Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola) wing.
Many thanks. Remains seem a bit 'racey' for a woodcock, but may be. The problem is i find at least one set of wings each year i do the survey, which is just one day per year. Can't imagine so many woodcock falling into the sea!!
I agree with Florin. This wing is from a Eurasian Woodcock. See plate 64 in Shorbirds: An identification guide to the waders of the world, by Peter Hayman, John Marchant and Tony Prater, or another guide to birds of Europe.
Excellent - thanks

U.S. to Crush 6 Tons of Ivory
Ivory poaching and trafficking crimes continue to be a major problem not only in the United States, but around the world. So much so that in July of this year, President Barack Obama issued an order to combat the killing of protected wildlife, stop the trafficking, and reduce demand for illegal rhino horns and ivory.
In an effort to deal with this issue, the US Fish and Wildlife Service is lining up a public event that will crush nearly 6 tons of ivory which is currently being stored in a Denver, Colorado warehouse.
While most of the ivory is apprehended from black market smugglers, some is also taken from tourists returning to the U.S. When authorities seize ivory and other illegal wildlife trade like crocodile boots, bear claws, and tiger heads, it goes to the National Wildlife Property Repository — at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge in Commerce City.
Sadly, the warehouse is so full with ivory that no longer fits on shelves. Piles of tusks and boxes full of bracelets and trinkets clutter the floor. Forklifts are used to clear pathways between heavy pallets of the plunder.
Grinding up all ivory in October "will make more room in our warehouse," said repository supervisor Bernadette Atencio. However, Atencio fears it will fill again soon.
The African elephant "is a species that could very easily disappear, become extinct," Atencio said. "But we can be an example and hope others follow."
"Our experience is that the only way to end this trade is to get international support. That's the goal of what we're doing with this crush," said Steve Oberholtzer, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service special-agent-in-charge based in Denver, who is lining up rock-grinders to pulverize the ivory in October.
Federal authorities plan to save pieces of crushed ivory to use in a memorial — in Washington D.C. or another appropriate location — to the tens of thousands of elephants kill.
U.S. officials also plan to give $10 million to help fight poaching in Africa and will try to persuade Asian governments to outlaw trinkets and other products made from elephant ivory. Tactics being considered include use of cellphone technology to monitor elephants, social media campaigning in China and cooperation with companies such as eBay to curb commerce.

FK's P-51: Innovation that Irritates?
When I was at Aero in Germany in April, one of the head-turner airplanes there was a scale P-51 Mustang LSA proposed by FK Lightplanes. See a video about it here. The reaction to this was interesting to watch and once again demonstrates how pilots love to complain about lack of innovation and then bitch about it when somebody actually does toss out something creative.
Which is another way of saying the reaction to the P-51 seemed polarized. You either loved it or thought it was stupid and should never have been proposed. I say "proposed" because the airplane isn't fully developed and ready for market yet, but when it is, it will be a 70 percent scale replica of the P-51, right down to the rivet patterns in the wings and the belly scoop. No mini-Merlin, sorry. It's got a 100-HP Rotax�probably the iS. Where it caught the ire of many show goers who talked to me is that it also has retractable gear and a constant-speed prop, which are verboten under U.S. LSA rules but may be allowed elsewhere. "Why," asked one Aero attendee "are they putting that stuff on there if they know it's not legal?"
A good point, although as noted, it may be legal in some countries. This is a sore point among some manufacturers who have trouble keeping straight what countries allow what under rules that vary considerably. But that's not the point. The real point is that this is an innovative airplane and my reaction to it is that I'd try to figure out how to make it legal for use in my country rather than getting irritated at FK for stretching the LSA idea envelope to the breaking point. To me, that's what innovation is all about, not lockstep adherence to restrictive rulemaking.
But why is it innovative? It is, after all, a 73-year-old-design. Scale Mustangs are nothing new; there are a couple of P-51 experimental designs out there. But in my view, what's innovative is that FK has used its Mustang to prove some sophisticated production techniques in carbon molding and building that could lead to interesting trends in aircraft production in general. FK gets that the Mustang is just a fantasy ride, which is why they added the smoke at startup and a sound system that mimics a Merlin. They're in on the joke.
But what I found intriguing is where this could go. If the Mustang project is successful, how about an entire line of LSA warbirds? Maybe the F4U Corsair, the Spitfire, the Hurricane or the F6F Hellcat, or Bf 109, all priced as $130,000 or so LSAs, which is where FK thinks the Mustang will sell. What's different�and innovative�is that these could be off-the-shelf products you don't have to build that are perfectly aimed at what LSA is supposed to be: fun sport flying, with a creative twist.
Frankly, I like that. And for my two cents, I'd just as soon like to see the restrictions against retractable gear and constant-speed props for LSAs eliminated. Let the market and insurers sort it out. This will make the safety nerds nuts, but then regulatory oversight is always a balancing act between what the wild-eyed flying public wants and what they're allowed to have to keep from hurting themselves.
Being on the wild-eyed side myself, I'd love to find a way to back that P-51 into my hangar, retractable gear and all.

BERLIN – A community meeting in support of anti-crime initiative Take Pride in Berlin has yielded some positive results, according to Berlin elected officials who attended the event last week.
Several Berlin elected officials informally discussed the Take Pride in Berlin indoor picnic held last weekend during the council comments section of Monday night's town council meeting. The picnic was reportedly attended by 50 community members.
Mayor Gee Williams called the event "a very productive discussion" on ways to reduce and finally eliminate open-air drug markets in Berlin, particularly on the east side of town.
"The overall impression I got there is that things had improved … it was a very positive discussion," said Williams.
A permanent solution supported by many of those at the picnic is to find better ways for youth to spend time, including character building and team work promoting activities, Williams reported.
The community felt that the multi-purpose building, which is slated to be demolished and a new structure built on that site in the future, should be used for recreational and other programs to occupy youth and give them a different direction, Williams said.
Councilwoman Lisa Hall said she came away from the picnic with the realization that the neighborhood does not need to wait for a shiny new building to make a difference.
"It's not the building things come from, it's the people in them," said Hall.
"These are all ideas that came from the folks that were there," said Williams. "The suggestions they made were very thoughtful and very reasonable."
Any new initiatives would probably need a part-time paid coordinator, it was suggested.
"I think the meeting went well in part due to the leadership of our mayor," said Council member Dean Burrell. "Gee led the discussion in a non-threatening inclusive way. I was very pleased to see our mayor so sensitive to the needs of the group and really able to respond very positively."
"I was very encouraged. I left there energized," Williams said.
People seemed very anxious to be involved, Williams said, and the town needs to harness peoples' energy and enthusiasm.
Williams said does not feel like Berlin has a terrible crime problem, but he admitted there are drug-related issues that exist and need to be addressed by authorities.
The Take Pride in Berlin initiative, a cooperative effort between the State's Attorney's Office and various local law enforcement agencies, is a concentrated policing effort which began in May and saw its first major conviction this month, when a Berlin man, Graylin Spence, was sentenced to 25 years without parole for dealing illegal drugs.
With the continued enthusiasm of the community, the town must keep fighting back. "We got an opportunity. The time's right, now," said Williams.
People on the east side also feel that for the first time, Hall said, that Town Hall is offering its support against the drug problem.
"They know if they see something, something's going to get done," said Hall.
Councilman Elroy Brittingham suggested tapping in to the Berlin Intermediate School (BIS) after-school program, which already works with young people to give them more direction academically and otherwise.
"Maybe that might work," Brittingham said.
The Berlin Police Department already supports the BIS program, Berlin Police Chief Arnold Downing said, although it is not the police department's role.
"For us to go ahead and assist and support, that's what's needed," said Downing.
Trust and mutual respect must be established with the east side neighborhoods experiencing these crime problems, Williams felt.
"It doesn't happen overnight," said Williams.
The mayor likened the envisioned volunteer efforts as a parallel to economic development efforts made years ago, which began with individual business owners volunteering, turned into a part-time development coordinator and then turned into a full-time economic development position.
The town council offered no concrete next steps to take during the informal discussion.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — New Zealand Super Rugby team the Crusaders say center Robbie Fruean must undergo heart surgery and will miss the remainder of the three-nation tournament.
The 24-year-old Fruean needs a valve replacement to repair damage to his heart caused by rheumatic fever which he contracted four years ago.
Team doctor Deb Robinson said Fruean's cardiac function has been deteriorating over the past six months and a specialist had recommended surgery.
Fruean underwent open-heart surgery in 2009 when he was diagnosed with pancarditis as a result of his earlier illness. Coach Todd Blackadder said Fruean was expected to make a full recovery and could return to Super Rugby next year.

New crop of stars takes charge for Yanks
Granderson, Berkman key sweep; Teixeira forgets '09 struggles
By Anthony DiComo / MLB.com
And what Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte, Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera accomplished last season was indeed remarkable, a feat that no similar group of teammates may match again. But just as those four won their first title last decade with significant help from players such as Tino Martinez, Paul O'Neill and Bernie Williams, they scored their most recent World Series victory with major contributions from Alex Rodriguez, David Robertson and Hideki Matsui.
Every roster spot matters. The Yankees know that. And any one playoff game can immortalize a previously anonymous player.
There's no telling who, or when, or how.
So if the Yankees make it to the World Series again this year -- they're four wins away now after capping a three-game American League Division Series sweep of the Twins with Saturday's 6-1 win -- they will need to find new complements for Jeter, Rivera, Posada and Pettitte in their quest for title No. 28.
The ALDS offered up some candidates.
Consider Curtis Granderson Exhibit A. Along with his critical two-run triple in Game 1, a game he nearly did not start due to his struggles against left-handers, the outfielder rapped out three hits, knocked in a run and scored in Game 2 before walking, singling and scoring again in the series finale. In his first season with the Yankees -- a disappointing one by most estimations -- Granderson wasted no time becoming a cog in the New York playoff machine.
"Of course you go through your ups and downs," Granderson said. "There are going to be some slumps and there are going to be some lumps, and you're going to get hot and you're going to go ahead and feel great. That's part of baseball. You've got to go ahead and fight through it as best you can."
Then there was Lance Berkman, the lifetime Astro who joined the Yankees in July -- just in time for their inauspicious stretch run. Berkman, too, struggled throughout his first few weeks in pinstripes, before slamming a key home run and an RBI double in Game 2.
Part of Berkman's role was to prove that they come from all angles, these postseason contributors, sharing precious few common threads. There was Phil Hughes, for example, pitching on Saturday and saving one of the finest games of his career for his first playoff start. Relegated to a bullpen role last postseason due to a strict innings limit, Hughes proceeded to struggle mightily in October. But that was then; this is now.
"He was chill," outfielder Nick Swisher said. "Cool as can be."
Similarly chill was Robinson Cano, freshly minted as an elite player and proving he can play that role in the postseason, too. In addition to tripling, singling and scoring twice in Game 3, Cano provided ample protection for Rodriguez in the lineup and consistently stellar defense in the field. There was no understating the importance of either.
And there was no understating the importance of Mark Teixeira or Swisher, both of whom also struggled for the Yankees last October. Like Hughes, that wasn't their time; apparently this is. In three ALDS games this year, the first baseman and right fielder batted a combined .320 with two home runs, five runs scored and four RBIs.
"I couldn't really care less about my numbers," Swisher said. "Nobody checks to see how Nick Swisher did. They check to see how the New York Yankees did. And I want to be part of that."
Now, he is. So are Granderson, Berkman, Hughes, Cano and Teixeira.
And because of that bunch, the AL Championship Series -- with its own cast of to-be-determined heroes -- awaits.

I have two computers one with XPsp3 and the other with Vista Buisness 64bit, both with the latest updates to ZAES. The FF toolbar doesn't show on either one. Tried with IE7, IE8, and Firefox 3.5 doesn't work with any browser. I can enable and disable on all browsrs but doesn't appear to be any change, with firefox when I attempt to uncheck it from displaying the following error appears
"unload: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIObserverService.removeObserver]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://trustchecker/content/trustchecker.js :: anonymous :: line 949" data: no]".
The check download file doesn't work on the Vista machine but does in the XP. I have done a clean uninstall and reinstall of ZAES on the vista machine with no change, I have disabled all other services except FF with no result.
Am able to turn browser security off and on from ZAES with no result.
Anyone else having problems with FF or a solution to my problem.

As I see it, it's pretty much all being done for D*R*A*M*A!
They know - they have to know, don't they - how the viewers dislike team challenges, so they take what gets us talking the most and give it a twist. It's like standing on an overpass on a cold winters day while someone drips water on the road surface. Get the right crowd of people and they'll stand around waiting for the first car to slid sideways.
All magic comes with a price - Rumpelstiltskin
As soon as I read the name Cindy "Marlatt" from Kent, WA, I wondered if she were connected to the Marlatt Funeral Home business. Apparently, yes...
I am not thrilled with the team...like others have posted here, why? If the outfits do not have to be cohesive and each designer is judged for his/her work, what have we gained.
I watch The Next Great Baker on TLC ( not much interest here for that one) but it is enjoyable but all the challenges have been groups. You hear from the producers that everybody works cooperatively today in business, but the difference is that in business you hire your own people so your collaborators are people you know you can work with. On these shows, total strangers are forced together and it has not been realistic
For a creative team I would think you need a visionary, a realist and lots of busy hands bringing fulfillment. A well meshed team does not work well with two visionaries, and as a designer should be a visionary, a "team" of two of those would crash and burn. You would need a realist to balance them.
The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity. Dorothy Parker, (attributed)
The bigger the team, the more drama there will be. Of course, you can have drama with a team of two, especially if one of those two is like last season Elena, who gets along well with NO ONE.
Wondering if:
*the Velvet Bag will be brought back
*the designers will be allowed to pick teams
*the producers have already magically decided who is working together to maximize the stress
Guess we will know in two days!

Interesting to watch the changes. I am not overly fond on the New Heidi. Since her divorce, she has pretty much become an attention whore. I wasn't really crazy for her "we are so in love . Seal and I renew our vows every year......"But now she seems to be needing some kind of validation that she is still hot. Sad.
I even forgot who won last season. I am afraid my favorite show has jumped the shark tank

You might have heard of Barolo and Barbaresco from the Piedmont region of northwest Italy – and paid upwards of $100 for a special-occasion bottle – but this area has other, less pricey gems using its esteemed nebbiolo grapes. Take De Forville's Langhe Nebbiolo, which can be had for as little as $20 a bottle. We're hard-pressed to think of another wine from any region that delivers more quality for the buck.
Established in 1860 by a Belgian family that had recently migrated to Italy, De Forville is best known for its ultra-classic Barbarescos (ultra-classic meaning extended maceration and no new oak barrels). Made using fruit harvested from younger vines in the Barbaresco appellation, De Forville's Langhe Nebbiolo is essentially baby Barbaresco. The 2009 version is a knockout, with tart cherry flavors, a great earthy note carrying across the palate, and pleasantly rustic tannins. It is complex enough to be served with a serious meat or pasta dish, but light enough to be happily consumed with a hamburger at a summer cookout – and at $20 a bottle, it can be bought as an all-purpose wine. De Forville is represented in the United States by renowned importer Neal Rosenthal, whose impeccable taste has put a lot of sensational wines on our retail shelves over the years. The De Forville Langhe Nebbiolo is one such gem. [$20; sussexwine.com]
