|Route Climbed: Shavano-Tabeguache Blank Gulch Date Climbed: July 18, 2004
|Great day, weather held out nicely, especially since we got a bit of a late start, but not too bad.
|Posted Oct 14, 2004 11:45 pm
|Route Climbed: East Slopes Date Climbed: August 14, 1999
|Camped the night before at Blank Gulch, and ascended the Angel Coulier to the ridge. Very windy once we hit the ridge, and climbed to talus to the summit.
We were going to traverse to Tabeguache, but we developed blisters so we opted to skip it this trip.

|Route Climbed: Blank Cabin Trailhead Date Climbed: August 15, 2004
|The day started out quite nice but once we got above treeline the clouds were boiling up. We pushed on for the summit and stayed very briefly while we descended in a hail storm. We booked back to treeline, unable to squeeze Tab in on the same day.

|Climbed with Aaron and Jim Lierman, just a couple days after doing Tabaguache. Interesting, because we'd done Tabaguache in a snowstorm, but the weather on Shavano was quite nice. Nice mountain. Wonderful aspen grove to start, and finish, with.

|Great early morning start and summit. Very busy for a weekday. Met some Oklahoma guys working on their first 14er. Storms chased us away from Tabegauche, though.

|Climbed up a decent trail hoping to glissade the Angel. Interesting day. It's supposed to be the first weekend of the summer and we couldn't even see our hands in front of our faces!! Snow! What a riot. And the WIND! WHOOEY! It was a doozy! The weather was so nasty that we didn't do Tabaguache, which is a REAL kick in the shorts...there's no way to get up there without going over Shavano first, unless you go for miles and miles into Brown's Creek, but that's a story for another day...

|This was a cold, windy one in hunting season. An interesting (to me) momentary intersection of three lives happened on my descent, about which more here.

|A gorgeous day and a wonderful climb. The glissade down was fast and fun. The only way to climb Shavano in my opinion. Didn't need crampons, but they would have made things easier

|This hike was even better than I thought it would be. A thunderstrom came in and made us run down the mountain faster than we would have liked, but that's Colorado in the summer for ya! Great views of the Arkansas and San Luis valleys.

|The first of many 14er summits for Erin and I during extraordinarily dry 2002. I took a nice scounting drive the weekend before, and being more or less a mountain newbie, I asked a local in Poncha Springs where Shavano was because I couldn't see anything that looked like the Angel on a nearby peak. The local laughed at me and said that it had been mostly melted out for over a month. We encountered no snow either above or below treeline during our hike. On the windy summit, we considered the traverse to Tabeguache, but we were out of shape, and wimped out. We bagged Tab a few weeks later.

|My first 14er! Being a flatlander from the midwest I was at a bit of a disadvantage.....luckily I had spent the previous week in Moab mountain biking so I was somewhat acclimated to altitude. I huffed & puffed my way to the summit.....what a view!! Well worth the effort. I decided to save Tabeguache for another day and am glad I did since I ran out of water just a few hundred feet down from the summit. 100 ozs of aqua gone in just 5 hours! Round trip was 8 hours.....5 up and 3 down. Looking forward to returning and bagging Tabeguache the next time!

Blizzard has put together two new TV spots for the holiday season. The first, seen above, features Steven van Zandt (better known as Silvio Dante on The Sopranos, but also a real-life performer in Bruce Springsteen's band) spouting an old Godfather III reference (that a lot of returning fans are probably saying to themselves after re-entering Warcraft for level 80).
And the second (definitely the more hilarious one) features Ozzy Osbourne as an Undead Warlock having it out with the Lich King over just who's WoW's Prince of Darkness. It's embedded after the break, definitely a must-see. Blizzard's doing terrific already -- their games are setting records, and subscriptions are higher than ever. But it doesn't look like they're taking this holiday season lying down at all.

The following commentary does not necessarily reflect the views of AgWeb or Farm Journal Media. The opinions expressed below are the author's own.
Kevin Van Trump has over 20 years of experience in the grain and livestock industry.
It might be over, the short-term nature of the agreement in Washington has investors wary of another standoff in just a few months. As for now the Washington drama officially ended with Obama signing a bill that both the House of Representatives and Senate passed to reopen the US government and extend the country's borrowing limits beyond the current $16.7 trillion level. From what I hear Federal workers who have been on temporary leave are expected to begin returning to work today. For what its worth 87 Republicans joined 198 Democrats in voting for the bill in the House. It was reported that all 144 "no" votes were from Republican side of the fence. Basically all the NEW bill does is fund the government through Jan. 1 and suspends the nation's debt limit through Feb. 7. I suspect the phrase "simply kicking the can further down the road" will be used a lot today. Bottom-line, it seems that we've entered a new world order where more "extreme" political chaos is becoming standard operating procedure.

For Maddon, 9=2 after big W in Game 7
Skipper's trust in players culminates in club's first Fall Classic berth
By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
It is a scene that plays out every October in ballparks throughout the big leagues, the giddy joy of grown men achieving their dreams, but it was never supposed to happen in the basement at Tropicana Field. At least, not in the home clubhouse, not so soon.
It took the optimistic influence of a self-admitted "dreamer" to help make it so, and as the sunshine-happy Rays carried on a party that would last into the early-morning hours, the question had to be asked: How could manager Joe Maddon possibly have known?
"Believe me," Maddon said, his silver hair dripping with the golden sparkle of barley and hops, dripping into the lenses of his thick black-framed glasses. "When it comes down to these moments, it's about your intuitive nature. You can be taught, you can learn from other people, but when it comes down to it, it's all based on intuition."
Maddon stood a few feet from the office doorway, where his prized collection of wine bottles was guarded from the barrage taking place, carrying on with reporters in the glass-all-the-way-full style all on his own.
The well-read 54-year-old has won over the St. Petersburg area, a man as comfortable talking about Motown and bay biking as he is about the machinations of his lineup -- which, it should be noted, are dutifully filled out to his eclectic musical tastes.
On Sunday, the lineup card that won the American League pennant came with an accompaniment of Bruce Springsteen; Maddon's other activities kicked off with the Rolling Stones and the Four Tops.
His players may not share the same tastes or interests, but they are undoubtedly on board with Maddon's program, unwilling to leave until four more victories are achieved.
"When you deal with these people on a daily basis, you really understand their personalities, where they've come from, where they're at today," Maddon said. "I'm so proud of the group in general, the fact that we have grown so much in such a short period of time. I'm really proud of the way they've handled themselves to this entire moment."
You thought 9=8 was something? Wait until you see how Maddon rationalizes 9=2.
"When he brought out this 9=8 thing, we kind of all looked at each other like, 'What's this guy talking about?'" James Shields said. "And it made sense in the end. We believed in it, and we believed in ourselves. I think that's kind of what the point of all his slogans talk about; you've got to believe in yourselves before anybody else does."
As the final outs ticked off for the Rays -- forget seven, this was down to three, two, one -- Maddon thought most about his father, also named Joe. The same Hazleton, Pa.-bred family man who lectured his son to lug a different bat during his playing days is a frequent contributor to Maddon's managerial life, though he holds his tongue. His son is doing just fine on his own.
|"Let's go back to the first day of Spring Training. If I had told you guys we were going to be one game away from going to the World Series, all of you would have laughed. Absolutely, a good belly laugh.
|-- Manager Joe Maddon, on Rays' success
"I almost brought his hat out into the dugout, but I didn't, because it was an Angels hat," Maddon said. "He's just so proud right now."
On their way to the field each day, the Rays had to pass four signs inside the Rays' clubhouse, each spelled out in English, Spanish, Japanese and Korean: "Attitude is a decision."
Losing had been entrenched as a way of the franchise, destined to live as an also-ran in a highly competitive AL East. Maddon may have had his head in the clouds thinking of a contending Rays club, but he didn't have much company at the outset.
"There's probably one person in this locker room that really thought we could do it, and that's Joe Maddon," said David Price. "You can't think of last year and go over 100 wins right now. Everybody just slowly bought into the one goal this entire team has."
"Once we got a hold of this thing and started to believe," Cliff Floyd said, "we became a family that you couldn't defeat. And here we are."
So as he sat at a podium before Sunday's Game 7, Maddon couldn't help but answer a query by taking his audience on a flashback tour to musty Progress Energy Park down by the marina in St. Petersburg, remarking on how far his club had come.
"Let's go back to the first day of Spring Training," Maddon said. "If I had told you guys we were going to be one game away from going to the World Series, all of you would have laughed. Absolutely, a good belly laugh.
"I'm very proud of where our group is at today, and I could understand why you would have belly-laughed back then. But nobody is belly laughing right now. And I could not be more proud of this group, and I have a strong conviction and belief that we're going to get it done tonight."
Perhaps the Red Sox should have had all the momentum going into Game 7, and when Dustin Pedroia cracked a first-inning home run off AL Championship Series MVP Matt Garza, they probably did. But momentum is only as good as the starting pitcher.
While Boston's Jon Lester was strong, Garza was very, very good, leading Maddon into the eighth inning where he was sent out with a 116 pitch count before leaving two tosses later.
Maddon's maneuvers to follow unwittingly tied an LCS record when he used five pitchers -- Garza, Dan Wheeler, J.P. Howell, Chad Bradford and Price -- to navigate the eighth inning and keep a 3-1 lead intact.
The final four outs were recorded by a rookie, Price, who logged a postseason save in Game 7 of a do-or-die series before he'd even had the opportunity to try his stuff out in that situation during the regular season.
"Who would do that? Only Joe," Howell said. "That's what happens when you make moves and you trust yourself. Tonight, Joe did a great job again."
"It just seemed to be the right vibe entirely," Maddon said. "You get to those moments. I've been there in the past, and you can feel it, you can taste it, you know it and it was all there. All that stuff was present."
Garza, who secured his second win of the ALCS when Price got Jed Lowrie to ground into a game-ending forceout, could only shake his head and grin.
"He's done it all year -- he's made the right moves, and we're going to the World Series," Garza said.
Howell was asked if, as a summoned arm out of the bullpen, he had tried to think along with Maddon and pitching coach Jim Hickey on the late-game maneuvers.
"I stopped about Week 2," Howell said. "I started thinking too much. I've never figured him out, and I still don't. But I love him, man. He's the perfect manager for me."

We built the Tiger 800XC to be just like the Tiger 800, but with a little bit more
Using the rugged Tiger 800 as a starting point, we added a pack of special off-road equipment so you can keep on going when you run out of tarmac.
The three-cylinder engine is the same 800cc triple found in the Tiger 800 so it's got loads of torque and muscular power. And the tough steel frame and long distance fuel range are from the Tiger 800 too. The added XC is what gives you the next-level off-road ability.
This is a hard-core bike that you can cross continents on, whether or not there are roads going in that direction. Just load it up and go.
The suspension travel for the Tiger 800XC is a huge 220mm at the front, 215mm at the rear. Just what you need on poor condition trails. We fitted 45mm Showa upside down forks along with a preload and rebound adjustable Showa monoshock so you can adjust for either off or on-road riding.
We needed to give you enough stopping force on the road without being too sharp or intimidating in the dirt. So at the front of the Tiger 800XC is a pair of two-piston sliding callipers and 308mm discs, with a single-piston calliper at the rear and a 255mm disc.
ABS is standard but this can be switched off for off-road riding where you might want to be able to lock up a wheel.
We added spoked wheels to the Tiger 800XC for better cushioning on rough terrain. The front is a big 21inch diameter to take dedicated off-road tyres and cope with holes and ridges. And the front mudguard is higher so that clogging mud won't spoil your ride.
We built the Tiger 800XC to have genuine off-road capability, so it's tall with an upright and very spacious riding position. We made the bars wider than the standard Tiger 800s to give you extra manoeuvrability and the seat is lofty, although it's easily adjusted without the need for tools.
Despite your high up stance the screen does a great job of fending off the wind pressure so you can stay at motorway speeds for as long as you need.
We even gave your passenger plenty of room, chunky grab handles and well positioned footrests so long distances are no less comfortable on the back than they are for you.
You can adjust the seat height without tools between 845mm and 865mm to suit different kinds of riding.
The aluminium handlebars can also be adjusted fore and aft and the handlebar levers are span-adjustable.
As you'd expect the Tiger 800XC uses the same tubular steel trellis frame as the Tiger 800 so you know it's strong enough to take the knocks during serious off road use. The rear subframe is the same, designed to take our capacious panniers and big top box, plus a passenger, then go places where pure road bikes daren't venture.
The three-cylinder 95PS engine, like the rest of the Tiger 800XC, is made for adventure.
With so much torque spread right across the rev range you can pull hard from low revs. That's great for overtaking without the need to work the gearbox and touring effortlessly through mountainous terrain, but it's also exactly what you need to dig yourself out of tough off-road situations.
But this is a Triumph so there's a lot more to it than clinical horsepower.
We gave the Tiger an animated snarl that adds a whole new layer of character. An engine that communicates and encourages you to use it to the best of its, and your, ability.
The rugged dependability applies just as much to the transmission: six gears, a tough clutch with a light lever action that's needed in difficult conditions, and chain drive for simplicity, reduced weight and the best ground clearance This makes it easy to alter the final drive ratio for sustained low speed riding.
The ABS system on the Tiger 800XC uses the latest technology to prevent wheel lock-up in any condition you find yourself in. And it can be switched off for off-road use, in case you want to lock a wheel up deliberately.
Just in case your Tiger 800XC attracts the wrong kind of attention, we've added a high technology security system. It detects a microchip in the key body and if it's not present the ignition system is disabled.
This prevents a copy of the correct key being used to switch the bike on.
With the Tiger 800XC you are fully equipped for all kinds of conditions, on-road and off. As standard you get the rear rack, along with the sturdy hand protectors and the coded key immobiliser for security.
The dash shows you all the information you could need including average and instant fuel economy and range remaining, fuel gauge, service indicator, gear position and clock as well as speed and engine rpm. It's also preconfigured for the optional Tyre Pressure Monitoring System.
Serious all-weather riders expect to be able to use additional electrical equipment, so we fitted the Tiger 800XC with a high output alternator. Plenty of power for you to use heated grips, spotlights or electrically heated clothing. All of which are available as extras.
We added the aerodynamically optimised screen to take the force out of the slipstream and make your ride comfortable at sustained high speed.
You never know where you'll end up on a Tiger 800XC so you need to prepare for any eventuality. And that can mean taking a lot of equipment with you. So luggage options include the capacious adventure-style panniers and top case, tank bags, tail packs and inner bags to suit every need. All developed in conjunction with the Tiger 800XC, so wherever you go you can take it all with you. There's even a clever lever behind the headlights for when the bike is loaded up, to dip them lower and compensate for the tail-down stance. No tools needed, just pull the lever and the lights are pointing along the road once again.
Our confidence provides you with a two-year unlimited mileage warranty on your new Triumph and Genuine Accessories. Alongside the knowledge that we give you a 12 month unlimited mileage warranty on replacement parts.
The Tiger 800 carries 6,000 mile (10,000km) service intervals.
This special edition of Triumph's Tiger 800XC takes the tough and capable characteristics of the standard 800XC model and adds a distinctive, fresh look.
Adding to the unique look is a fiery red main frame plus black exhaust heat shields and black pillion grab rails.
The commanding view the Tiger 800XC offers of the road ahead is now framed by black finished handlebars and matt-finished Diablo Red cockpit infills.
At first glance the new Volcanic Black paint looks like a simple black finish, but when the lines catch the light you'll see a burst of red metallic highlights.

WASHINGTON – In yet another loss for tribes with the Supreme Court, its justices have ruled that the Tohono O'Odham Nation is not allowed to pursue a lawsuit claiming mismanagement of tribal resources in two different federal courts at the same time.
The 7-1 ruling, handed down April 26, threw out a lawsuit by the tribe in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. The tribe had sued both in U.S. District Court and the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in December 2006, arguing that the federal government had mismanaged its trust assets, including its reservation lands, mineral resources, and income.
Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the court's majority opinion that the two lawsuits were essentially the "same claim." "Indeed, it appears that the Nation could have filed two identical complaints, save the caption and prayer for relief, without changing either suit in any significant respect," Kennedy wrote.
The tribe had argued that the law forces them to choose between partial remedies (either an accounting, or final damages), but Kennedy said the argument was without merit. "The Nation could have filed in the CFC alone and if successful obtained monetary relief to compensate for any losses caused by the Government's breach of duty," Kennedy wrote. "It also seems likely that Indian tribes in the Nation's position could go to district court first without losing the chance to later file in the CFC, for Congress has provided in every appropriations Act for the Department of Interior since 1990 that the statute of limitations on Indian trust mismanagement claims shall not run until the affected tribe has been given an appropriate accounting."
In a dissenting opinion, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote that the tribe should have been allowed both suits: "When Congress bars a plaintiff from obtaining complete relief in one suit, however, and does not call for an election of remedies, Congress is most sensibly ready to have comprehended that the operative facts give rise to two discrete claims."
The ruling is expected to impact several tribes beyond Tohono O'Odham. To date, nearly 100 tribes have filed lawsuits in federal district courts seeking a historical accounting of their trust funds and assets, while some of those tribes also have filed lawsuits for financial damages in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.
Under the Supreme Court ruling, tribes will have to decide if they want a historical accounting in U.S. District Court, or a damage claim in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. If a tribe chooses a historical accounting, statute of limitations issues could impact their ability to file for separate damages.
"The consequences of the Court's decision are significant for Indian country," wrote Akin Gump lawyers James Meggesto and Patricia Millett on the Turtle Talk tribal legal analysis blog. "Tribes who have simultaneous litigation pending in both federal district court and the CFC may now find that subject matter jurisdiction is lacking over their CFC judgments." The lawyers had filed an amicus curiae brief on behalf of the Osage Nation in support of the Tohono O'odham Nation in the Supreme Court.
"The decision is equally important for the numerous other litigants seeking both monetary and equitable relief against the United States' violations of law," they wrote. "For example, if the government is engaged in an ongoing regulatory taking of property, individuals must now choose between exercising their constitutional right to obtain just compensation for that taking in the CFC and their right to prevent further constitutional injury through an injunction in federal district court. The property owner cannot obtain both forms of relief simultaneously."
The Supreme Court ruling was consistent with the Court of Federal Claims' decision to throw out the suit under the rationale that it did not have jurisdiction and the two lawsuits were too similar. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit disagreed, ruling that the CFC retained jurisdiction because the two lawsuits sought distinct forms of relief.
Ginsburg wrote in her dissenting opinion that it would be "less harsh" and equally possible to grant a stay while a District Court case were to advance, which would keep the statute of limitations from running out on tribes.
Justice Elena Kagan did not participate in the decision because she was involved with the case when she served as solicitor general.
The Supreme Court has ruled against tribal interests in all major Indian cases before it since John Roberts became chief justice in 2005. The Native American Rights Fund and other tribal entities have been working to educate the court, especially its newer members, on tribal legal issues.
The Tohono O'Odham Nation's suit in U.S. District Court goes on. The case argues that the U.S. government handled $2.1 billion in transactions for the tribe between 1972 and 1992, but "has never fulfilled its duty to provide a true and adequate accounting" of the trust funds.

There are a lot of challenges on the MNFF forums on a frequent basis. But these challenges, more often than not, are judged extremely late, and the results are posted even later. I am not a person who expects moderators to be super-fast, but sometimes, it is disappointing to submit an entry to a challenge where you won't even know the results.
What I suggest instead is a dedicated panel of MNFFers who would be able to judge the challenges that are issued. Something similar to what we have in the QSQs. This way, the moderators won't have to bear the additional burden of judging challenges as well.
Or maybe, we could have two or three moderators who only issue challenges, moderate them as well as judge. Frankly, moderating the stories on the archives, minding the forums, and judging as well as issuing challenges seems to be a really huge task, and the mods are overworked. Division of the work is so much more easier, in my opinion.

I get many emails asking various questions about my blog. So I am going to do my best to answer them.
Why did you start a food blog?
It is a bit of a long story, but I will give you the cliff notes version (are Cliff notes even sold anymore?). My husband was gone at night remodeling his Mothers house while she was away on missionary work. So after the kids went to bed, it got pretty boring. I loved food and loved photography, so I thought I would take pictures of my food and put it on the internet. I am hoping you weren't expecting something more exciting than than that.
How did you come up with the name "The Hungry Housewife"?
This was quite easy. My kids were at the table playing the board game "Hungry Hungry Hippo". And it instantly hit me! The Hungry Hungry Housewife! I decided to shorten it to just use one "Hungry". And "The Hungry Housewife" was born.
Who takes your photos?
That would be little ole' me.
What type of camera do you use?
At the beginning of my blog I used a standard point and click camera. Point and clicks are all fine and dandy, but they just don't fit the bill when it comes to taking pretty food photos. I am by NOOOOOOO means a great photographer, in fact my photos are sub par if you take a peek at other food blogs. But the crispness of my pictures comes from my DSLR..Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT with a 50mm 1.4 lens.
My kitchen is SUPER dark so I often rely on the light of an Lowel Ego Light. Your camera flash will KILL your food photography.
Why do you do videos on your blog?
I do videos when I want to talk about something that I am really excited about or when something is too important to "type". Translation gets lost on the pages
of a computer and I like for people to be able to feel and see my excitement.
Where do you find your recipes?
Unless otherwise noted, they are found in my crazy and confused mind.
Can you review my book or product?
Shoot me an email and if I feel that your product is relevant to my blog, I will certainly consider doing a review.
You have so may typos, why?
That would be because I went to school for nursing, not grammar.

OCEAN CITY – The Planning and Zoning Commission continue to deliberate how far outdoor seating of restaurants can go before it becomes considered indoor dining, which will then require additional parking.
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on Tuesday concerning the definition of unenclosed outdoor dining space for restaurants that is included in the code regarding the required amount of parking spaces for an establishment.
Chairperson Pam Buckley explained the public hearing was not an attempt to change any parking requirements for commercial space.
"That is not the purpose of adding the definition of unenclosed outdoor dining," she said. "We are here to substantiate that definition and make that definition more clear as to the intent the planning commission had when the unenclosed dining area was granted."
The code states, "restaurant, fast food restaurant, cocktail lounge, tavern or nightclub or other establishment for the consumption of food or beverages on or off the premises: one space per 100 square feet of enclosed gross floor area, minimum of five spaces; the area of outdoor dining (unenclosed) is exempt from parking requirements up to an area equal to the enclosed gross floor area and thereafter is required one space per 200 square feet of unenclosed outdoor dining area in excess of the enclosed gross floor area."
The consideration on the table was amending the section by adding the following definition of outdoor dining area (unenclosed) as an "accessory area located outside of an enclosed restaurant…that is open to the sky and uncovered by a roof or canopy, except a table may be protected by a temporary removable umbrella no larger than 9 feet in diameter. The area may be partially surrounded on each side by an enclosure no more than 42 inches in height."
Zoning Administrator Blaine Smith explained prior to 2007 parking for restaurants was based on public floor area and the zoning code, which is still current, by definition of public floor area it exempted an open air patio.
"So when we were calculating parking for restaurants prior to 2007, if there was outside dining area that was totally open unenclosed of any kind, anything open to the sky, was exempt from parking and did not get factored in to the required parking," he said. "I believe this is why now the definition is being advanced to further define what unenclosed means and that the parking exemption, or waiver, is going back to the same notion that it is totally unenclosed of no enclosure of any kind, this includes not having a roof other than the umbrella."
The main concern of those restaurant and other establishment owners in attendance had to do with unenclosed outdoor seating not including a roof or canopy.
"What it is about for me … the definition of unenclosed has worked for the last seven years," Fager's Island owner John Fager said. "A lot of businesses have developed outdoor dining that is covered in a way that tables and umbrellas are very generous and that's very nice but if you are going to have a more upscale venue then you really need a hard roof. People are not going to book special events for example with an umbrella; people are not going to be as inclined to come out. It's just a different situation."
Fager asked the commission to consider developing the definition in another way that will not exclude roofs in outdoor dining.
"Open unenclosed could be with a roof and 42-inch sides … and if you go beyond that then it is no longer open unenclosed but to not allow a roof- and open to the air does not have to mean open to the sky necessarily," he said.
He said the code as it stands has been a benefit to the town.
"Now my concern for this town is you're going to kill outdoor dining other than picnic tables with umbrellas," Fager said. "You are going to stop outdoor dining because if I want to devote parking spaces because I want to cover my outdoor dining, I'm not going to do it. I am not going to squander a parking space for outdoor dining when I can use it for inside where I can get a really conditioned enclosed space."
Buckley explained that the last thing the commission wants to do is discourage outdoor dining.
"But at some point you wouldn't ask us to let somebody open up a 3,000-square-foot eating establishment without requiring some sort of parking," she said. "That's why in the last three or four years we tried to tweak this because we're sitting here looking at all these shopping centers and places that have all this extra parking trying to promote more business…but at some point we need to take care of the bodies in town if they are going to drive a car, they haven't stopped driving cars yet."
Buckley explained the concern is about the smaller operations that have more of an impact on the surrounding neighborhoods.
"You cannot continue to move into neighborhoods for your business to take up city parking," she said. "I don't disagree that there is going to be some repercussions from any decision but we are still here with a ten mile island that were trying…to make things fit better into what's left."
By the end of the public hearing, the commission decided to take more time to deliberate the matter and discuss whether a limitation should be placed on what kind of material can be used to construct outdoor dining.
"We don't want people to go to the lowest denominator here," she said. "That's what we're trying to prevent."

Radio Shack Embraces Shantytown Image
Sometimes it really does make sense for a famous brand to change its name. It happened to Uncle Adolf's Old-Tyme KKKandy, and now it's happening to Radio Shack. Too bad the new name is even worse.
Radios are old, right? Get rid of that 'Radio' anchor weighing down your valuable forward-thinking brand of the future, by all means! But for god's sake, replace it with something. Otherwise you get this:
[Our] tipster says that in-store signs will reflect the change this week, and storefront signage will begin to be reworked as "The Shack" sometime later this year.
Forget the old "Radio Shack." The new home of sophisticated electronic retailing is "The Shack."
With everyone broke, this should go over well.

text: This is in my 2003 supra laucnh SSV. I hope no one minds me posting here since the supra boards are so slow. I owned a moomba outback first if that helps. I removed the single battery with an on/off switch that came from the factory and cut a bigger hole and added a dual battery switch with 2 blue top optimas. I also dismounted the factory 50 amp breaker and fuse block that was mounted to the carper on the back of the bow seats and redid it. I also added a 2 bank on board charger so I can just plug it in after a weekend at the lake. In my 98 outback I mounted my amps the same way and never had any problems. I mounted these to a cutting board so that I would not have any wood to worry about. I started this on Tuesday after work and finished it up yesterday when I got off work. Let me know what you think. My amps are on the other side of the boat and I plan to add my new amp to a cutting board and mount the same way on the drivers side. I used the bolts coming from the bow seats so no additional holes had to be drilled.

Votto comfortable, but trying to find power stroke
By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com
"I feel OK. I'm frustrated at times because I can't perform how I would like to," Votto said before batting practice on Monday. "That's part of the gig after a surgery like this. I would say at some point I will turn the corner, but I'm not sure if that will be this year. Until that point, I'm just playing everything by ear and doing the best I can and trying to make the most out of every situation."
Votto missed 48 games on the disabled list to have torn meniscus cartilage removed from his knee in mid-July. He entered the night having reached base in all 22 games he's played since his Sept. 5 return and came in batting .343 (23-for-67) with seven RBIs during that period of time.
But there have been no home runs since coming off of the DL, yet. Votto has driven the ball to the deepest parts of some ballparks but has fallen just short of clearing the fence.
"It's funny. That small percentage of power, it changes the way my swing comes through the zone and the power I produce," Votto said. "It's hard to explain how something small becomes glaring when you're dealing with the best in the world. You're dealing with guys who don't give in and don't take a breath.
"When I was in the Minor Leagues, I realized how fast the game is here and how you're being attacked constantly. If you're not at your best, your holes get exposed automatically."
Votto will likely fall more than a few at-bats shy of qualifying for the batting title, but he came in hitting .342 with 14 homers, 56 RBIs, 43 doubles and an astounding .477 on-base percentage over 463 plate appearances before Monday's game.
Pitchers are still showing plenty of respect for Votto's bat, as he has walked 25 times with an even more astounding .527 on-base percentage since returning to the lineup.
"I've tried to accentuate one of the things I can do -- put the ball in play and be a tough out," Votto said. "It's not easy, but it's how I've tried to change my game right now."
Phillips back in lineup after precautionary exit
ST. LOUIS -- One day after he was pulled from Sunday's game at Pittsburgh with some mild tightness in his groin, Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips was back starting Monday vs. the Cardinals.
Phillips exited in the fifth inning of a 4-3 Reds win Sunday as a precaution. Two innings earlier, he had slipped on loose dirt while rounding second base.
"I feel all right," Phillips said Monday. "If I feel it again taking ground balls or something, I'd probably say something about it. I think it was the wet conditions yesterday. They wanted to be safe with the postseason coming up."
In Monday's 4-2 loss, Phillips slipped again, in the third, and was again removed for precautionary reasons in the eighth.
"I felt like I could play the whole game," he said after Monday's loss. "It's just something I felt at the time. There's something about that turn going to the left. I'm OK. It's something I feel every once in a while. I told everybody I'm good and they have nothing to worry about. I will be ready to perform."
Worth noting
Sunday's win over the Pirates was the 96th of the season for the Reds, which marked the 10th time in the franchise's history that total was reached. It was the first time since 1999. The club has won 97 games seven times, most recently in 1976, when Cincinnati was 102-60.

Hopefully, we'll start the preseason with the right foot. I know it's not an important game, but there's nothing that would make me more happy than to beat the nets.
Hopefully, we'll start the preseason with the right foot. I know it's not an important game, but there's nothing that would make me more happy than to beat the nets.
plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz no 1 get injured in the preason( unless its shandon anderson) i hate preseasons just for the possibility that a star player could get injured and jepordize the season
go knicksssssssss!! hehe
but i think that new jersey is not the same team that used to be...
not very hard. we can win
the preseason games are for the players and coaches knowing and start playing the away the coach want .
Also the Netts are now a very week team the Knicks should win this games for have more the culture of wining this would be a dificult year because the others teams are more goods then last year like Sixers
Also knicks brazilianfan i dont like your avatar.
I just wanna see some major minutes from Ariza, Brewer and whomever new that makes the roster.
i just hope that nazr can be a desent center this season. i guess we will have to wait and see
Yeah this will showcase all of the new players during the preseason. Actually I am looking forward to preseason games just because you get to see people who normally won't play.
A chance for someone to stick on the roster? The pressure's on for people such as Barrett, Murray, etc
YES !!!! my knicks bust down the nets................ a small victory but it makes me feel real good. Plus every thing that was said in training camp wasn't lies and hype. These guys are the real thing ! Crawford, Ariza, Sweetny we are HERE now !!!
Great win even though it's preseason. Ariza and Crawford looked very good in this one. Man I'm feeling good, and there's gonna be more of the same I hope.
One outta three ain't bad.
this was the best news from today! ok, not really, the best news is that my cell was reconnected
for those who didn't saw the boxscore yet, here it is:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
i see that our starters got a lot of minutes, i wonder if it wouldn't be better to give that time to our younger players. Oh well, maybe the significance of this game was the answer
Pics from the win:
for the san antonio game, we might have the chatroom back
Wouldn't that be so great if Ariza (who has basically the same body as RJ maybe lengthier) developed a jumpshot (well sort of) and became RJ 2?
It's seriously a possibility with the right assistant coaches and some PT (see: Michael Sweetney).
I think Ariza is a guy with unlimited potential and is every bit as talented as most of the first round picks of this year.
If he quickly developed an effective outside shot, I'd love that too. But yeah, Sprewell is also a good comparison. Think about it guys - 3 years from now he'll only be Sweetney's current age! wow.... coming a year out of college does have its benefits in terms of age!Originally Posted by e_D

Lets be real here TD is not that great of a player. Idk how many other rosters he could be make. His trade value is little to nothing. I'm hoping its that shoulder thats keeping him from playing at a good level but its not looking like it.
He better make good friends with Balkman and Bibby because he'll be riding the pine soon enough.

DALLAS - American Airlines has unveiled the "Silver Bird," the world's largest twin jet-engine aircraft.
American Airlines is the first U.S. airline to add a Boeing 777-300ER to its fleet.
"In person, it looks really great. I'm excited, " said Chris Sloan.
Sloan, a self-proclaimed aviation geek from Miami flew to Dallas and bought a ticket to Brazil just to be the first to fly on the new plane.
"Because American Airlines is so ionic in this country, it is one of our four legacy carriers," he said.
The 777-300ER is a stretch version of Boeing's 777 line. It's almost as long a football field -- 242 feet -- and nearly as wide.
It's equipped with cameras on the stabilizers and underbelly to help pilots safely taxi on the tarmac. American Airlines Capt. Jim Dees said it's one of the safest airplanes he's ever flown.
"The 777-300ER is a Mercedes. It is an incredible airplane," said Dees.
Boeing says the aircraft is one of its most efficient airlines, using 30 percent less fuel than it's rival and costs 40 percent less to maintain.
But it's also more expensive. Boeing sells the 777-300ER for nearly $300 million.
Some consider it a hefty tab for an airline emerging from bankruptcy, but airline industry analyst Seth Kaplan called it a strategic move. He said American Airlines is betting that fuel prices will remain high.
The 777 is equipped to carry nearly 300 passengers. It seats 10 across in the economy section. Passenger can choose from more than 250 movies, 180 television programs, and 350 music stations, and there's satellite Wi-Fi throughout.
The plane began flying nonstop from Dallas to Sao Paolo, Brazil, on Thursday.
American Airlines has purchased fifteen 777s.

Free until famous!
PUBLISHED: 11:00 22 January 2013 | UPDATED: 11:00 22 January 2013
Lewis Schaffer, the star of the longest-running solo comedy show in London, is coming to Exmouth.
Lewis Schaffer is 'Free Until Famous'. The London-based New York comic is testing the concept of the Edinburgh Free Festival in a mini-tour of the best venues in Britain.
Lewis is a comedy pioneer in the tradition of the covered wagon folk who colonised America. The Guardian loves his "rapid-fire delivery... everything is fair game." Time Out New York raves he has "a unique style - he can insult you and love you in the same sentence" and Time Out in London attests he's "controversial, unpredictable and recommended".
Why a free tour? Lewis Schaffer has been asked. "I'm doing this free show until I become famous. This is my 20th year. Famous comics don't need to try a free tour; and bad comics couldn't pull it off, if it can be pulled off at all.
"It's disturbing for people to give me money before they know what they're getting. Every show I do is so different because even I don't know what I'll be doing. Just because my show has been recommended or because I wear a suit or come from New York doesn't mean you'll like what I do. If you do, then give me what you think I'm worth. And what businesses get paid in advance? Okay most get the money first… but still…"
"Lee Mack actually suggested I take my show on tour. I know, you don't think Lee Mack knows me but he does! I am not saying he likes me, but he knows me."
Saturday, March 9, at the Exmouth Pavilion.

While most high school students roll up to their senior prom in a nice car or, even better, a chauffeured limousine, Dustin Sanner made his grand entrance at the Yough High School prom in a fire engine.
Now his father, Craig Sanner, the fire department chief in West Newton, Penn., is facing heat for allowing Dustin and his date to borrow the city-owned truck for a night of fun.
Dustin's prom took place in April but the controversy came to a head this week when West Newton's Borough Council unanimously approved a resolution expressing "displeasure" with Chief Sanner's decision.
"If true, we feel this is an inappropriate use of public monies," the resolution stated , according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Councilman Adam Paterline brought the issue before the council in the suburb of Pittsburgh after seeing a photo of Dustin, in a tux, and his date, in a purple, one-shoulder gown, standing in front of the fire engine, printed in a local newspaper.
Paterline contended the decision represented a public safety issue, saying the truck was essentially out of service for local residents while Chief Sanner escorted the couple to prom, and an insurance issue for the city if an accident were to happen.
"We commend our firefighters, but it was a poor decision," Paterline, who could not be reached today by ABCNews.com, told local ABC affiliate WTAE. "You can't do that in today's litigious society."
The council's resolution, sent to the fire department, will not result in disciplinary action for Sanner, who defended his decision to local reporters after the council meeting.
Sanner said the fire truck was never "out of service" while he escorted his son to the prom and that his wife was driving behind the truck so that it could be immediately deployed in an emergency, according to the Tribune-Review.
Sanner also said his son, Dustin, had been a member of the volunteer fire department for years, and that the fire engine did not stay at the prom but was returned to West Newtown immediately.
Calls placed by ABCNews.com today to Sanner, the West Newton Fire Department and the Borough Council were not returned.

Thursday afternoons in courtroom 151P tend to be less formal than other proceedings in Denver county courts. Judge Larry Bohning still hands out an occasional scolding ("Time's running out, Mr. Finn; you need to stay away from that alcohol"), and every once in a while somebody gets their probation revoked and heads to jail. But most of the defendants on Bohning's once-a-week mental-health docket are here to give a brief progress report, share any problems they might be having with their treatment plan or job situation — and pick up a free snack or toothbrush on the way out.
"This morning I got on methadone," says one young woman, rubbing her right arm nervously. "They've been giving me motel vouchers until I can get into housing. I try to check in once a day. I move around a lot."
"I'm coming down from being manic," says another woman in a hoodie. "The good news is that my new meds are working good."
Court to Community
"I'm coming out of my depression," announces an older man sporting a leather jacket and a gap-toothed grin.
Bohning nods, congratulates, asks an occasional question. "You had a job interview last week," he says to one dreadlocked visitor. "How did that go?"
The man beams back. "I'm starting at ten dollars an hour," he says.
The people who gather in 151P on Thursday afternoons are part of Denver's Court to Community program, a three-year pilot project to help low-level, mentally ill offenders connect with a range of community resources — and to keep them out of jail. Funded by a combination of grants, the effort isn't cheap; in its first year, it's enlisted 38 out of what will eventually be 75 clients, at an average annual cost of $12,000 per person. But its backers say it's a lot less expensive than having its target population of homeless, addicted and severely mentally ill residents spend much of their time in jails or hospital emergency rooms.
"This is basically a hospital without walls," says Regina Heuter, executive director of the Denver Crime Prevention and Control Commission, one of the chief sponsors of the project. "We know it takes fifteen months, on average, to get someone stabilized. But we have a year's worth of data now, and it shows that people are generally not coming back to jail, not showing up in detox. That means a decrease in those costly services."
In his three decades on the bench, Bohning has seen waves of failed initiatives to deal with the homeless and mentally ill. But this latest effort is different. "I was skeptical at first because I didn't think there would be enough funding," the judge admits. "If you don't have some short-term bed space, so these people can have a more stable environment, they're not going to stay on their meds."
The partners in the program, the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless and the Mental Health Corporation of Denver, work to ensure that the participants have access to adequate medication as well as reliable shelter. "I'm convinced we're doing some good," Bohning says. "We could use 300 more slots."
At present, the program is limited to people charged with city ordinance violations, such as trespassing or public urination — no misdemeanors or felonies. Many of the participants are familiar figures at the county jail and local hospitals. The "therapeutic jurisprudence" doled out in Bohning's court is designed to keep them out of trouble by closely monitoring their situation; failure to report back, in many cases on a weekly basis, can result in a probation violation. "They're not dropping out anywhere," Heuter says. "There's not a crack to fall between. If they don't work with us, they get prosecuted."
Since its launch, the Court to Community program has had three "graduates" and eight revocations, usually for alcohol or drug use. But there's also been an 83 percent drop in the total number of days the group has spent behind bars. One man who was in the county lockup on a weekly basis prior to joining the program — sometimes released and re-arrested on the same day — hasn't had a single arrest in more than six months. "He's not using, he's stable in his meds, and he can actually carry on a conversation," reports Shari Lewinski, the court coordinator. "This is tough stuff to treat. People start to slide back, but there are so many eyes watching, and the caseworkers are on top of things."

Modest in size but intensive, the court program may be joined by the end of the year by the first of three mental-health "triage" centers planned for the metro area. That project, backed by local hospitals and Mental Health America of Colorado, is supposed to further ease the burden on emergency rooms by offering an alternative that's more specifically geared to the needs of mentally ill clients in crisis.
Heather Cameron, the project's director at MHAC, calls hospitals "the most costly access point" for people with mental illness seeking help. Of the estimated 40,000 ER visits in the Denver area each year by people with mental-health issues, roughly half don't result in a hospital admission, she says. That population might be better served by going to a crisis center staffed by specially trained clinicians, who can do a more thorough assessment and stabilization of the patient than most hectic hospital ERs can offer.
"Seventy percent of the transports [to the ER] are by law enforcement," Cameron notes. "If you're lucky, you get a trained officer to come to your house and de-escalate a crisis situation. But the only place the officers had to take someone was the hospital emergency room." The "triage" label for her program is somewhat misleading, Cameron says — as with the court program, the overall goal is to provide links to a wider community of resources and make the critical followup and aftercare more feasible.
Lewinski expects to see the approach expand as its cost-effectiveness is demonstrated. "The good news is that the quality of life for these folks is improving," she says. "It's no picnic to cycle in and out of jail and live on the streets."

Finnegan helped the Wonder Boys (13-5) to a 4-1 record last week, topping GAC foe Henderson State in a non-conference matchup and taking three out of four from Quincy, the Great Lakes Valley Conference-West Division preseason favorite.
Against Henderson, Finnegan went 2-for-3 with three RBI, including a triple and a home run. After smashing a homer in Tech's series-opening win against Quincy, he doubled in Tech's lone loss of the week.
However, Finnegan saved his best work of the week for Sunday, going 3-for-3 with two homers and eight RBI in the opening game of the day, and homered again as part of a 1-for-3 effort with two RBIs in the nightcap.
The Wonder Boys will begin a three-game set at East Central in Ada, Okla., at 2 p.m. Friday.


text: Hola! I am going to Spain for two weeks to play in a small academy that is on clay courts. Obviously, I need a pair of clay court shoes, and I'm wondering, what is the difference between clay shoes and hard court shoes? Is it just the outsole? I've looked at the very limited choices of clay court shoes and I don't know if I will like them. Also, are hard court shoes fine to play with on clay? Any suggestions would be much appreciated...thanks!

Danica Patrick Wins Daytona 500 Pole, Makes History
Danica Patrick will start next weekend's Daytona 500 from pole position after posting the fastest run during qualifying today. She also became the first woman to win a Cup pole.
Patrick clocked a qualifying speed of 196.434 miles an hour early in the session and watched as others tried but failed to top it. She will share the front row with longtime Nascar star and four-time Nascar Cup champion Jeff Gordon. Gordon was the only other driver to crack the 196-mph barrier in qualifying with a speed of 196.292.

54 Proposed New Capital Bikeshare Stations Announced
Photo by PoPville flickr user Mr. T in DC
From Capital Bikeshare:
The District Department of Transportation today announced proposed locations for 54 new Capital Bikeshare stations to be installed this winter in the District of Columbia. The list includes proposed new stations in all 8 wards of the city.
"These new locations will mean a 40% increase in the number of CaBi stations in DC," said DDOT Director Terry Bellamy. "Combined with new stations in Arlington, Alexandria and soon in Montgomery County, we're building a robust and truly regional system."
There are currently 138 stations in DC, 45 in Arlington, and 8 Alexandria.
DDOT selected the 54 locations from a longer list of 78 suggested locations submitted by the public over the past 2 years. DDOT evaluated the locations using several criteria, including population density, employment density, bike-to-work rate, proximity to metro, and proximity to other Bikeshare stations. Residents also 'voted' for their preferences using an interactive crowdsourcing map.
The proposed stations are in a mix and new and existing bikeshare neighborhoods. "We need to balance the desire to expand into new areas with the need for more docks and bikes in existing areas, particularly downtown, where demand is heaviest." said Chris Holben, DDOT Project Manager for Capital Bikeshare. "Basically, for every 'expansion' station we also need more spaces downtown to keep up with demand."
DDOT plans to start installing new stations and bikes in January and finish in March. Locations not selected in this round of 54 will be considered for the next round. The complete list is below. You can also view the proposed locations alongside existing stations on a map at http://goo.gl/maps/UJPZs.

Made in Ireland, this is the 100% wool coverlet knitted with the classic Aran symbolism for a fruitful harvest and safety on the high seas. The coverlet is knitted with the diamond stitch pattern that evokes the limestone walls that enclose the farms throughout the Aran Islands, while moss stitching inside the diamonds symbolizes the seaweed used to fertilize the fields. The tight cable stitch represents ropes used by fisherman, promising safety and an abundant catch. The coverlet is knitted from thick, downy worsted wool, a warm, durable fleece preferred by Aran Islanders to combat the cold wind that sweeps off the Atlantic. The coverlet's fine wool fibers are densely knitted to create superior insulating and moisture-wicking properties to keep you comfortably warm. Hand wash or dry clean. Standard Pillow Shams. Set of two. 26" L x 20" W.
