Hey all:
I am going to be heading to PA this coming Sat (May 28) for a day trip into PA and an overnight stay, then a ride back to Rochester.
I was thinking about the Central PA area. Any suggestions on a ride that would end up in the Mansfield, Williamsport, Brockway, and Bradford areas?
I was thinking a nice ride, maybe some scenic runs, stop somewhere nice for dinner, a small town, somewhere to enjoy a good meal and a glass of wine, rest in a comfy place, get up the next day, get a nice breakfast, and then a nice ride back into NY..

The Ventura County Star has a poll up on hydraulic fracturing in California:
How concerned are you about fracking (hydraulic fracturing) in California?
- I have little or no concern about it.
- I'm concerned about its effects on water and the environment.
- I'm concerned about a possible link to earthquakes.
- I'm concerned that overregulation of it will kill jobs.
Fracking's increasingly big news in California. My KCET colleague Char Miller has a good California fracking backgrounder here, but the short version is that the fossil fuel industry is eyeing the Monterey Shale, a Miocene marine sedimentary formation thought to hold as much as 15 billion barrels of oil. That's twice what the Bakken holds in North Dakota. The stakes are high for the oil industry.
I've been informed by one of my geopals that the Western States Petroleum Association has quietly put the word out to its fanbase, asking them to swamp the poll. Right now votes of fracking opponents are about equal to those who either support fracking or don't care, though the way the answers are phrased makes it look like opponents are well ahead.
I suspect there's a diversity of opinion on fracking here. That's fine. (Though those of you who disagree with me are wrong.) To its credit, the Star admits it's a pointless exercise:
Note: This is not a scientific poll. The results reflect only the opinions of those who chose to participate.
But the oil lobby does seize on spurious polls like this for PR spin purposes, so whatever your viewpoint, go add some noise to the signal.

Circuit Judge R. Michael Hutcheson is awaiting reports from three experts to hold a hearing on whether to free her from the state hospital.
Scott McEvoy hasn't met Linda Sue Anderson but he believes it probably wouldn't be a good idea to release her from Florida State Hospital, where the paranoid schizophrenic woman has been held since being found not guilty by reason of insanity for killing two neighbors.
McEvoy has a unique perspective on the issue. He was nearly killed in 2008 by Ernest Heape, a man who had earlier been found not guilty by reason of insanity for an attack on his girlfriend and subsequently released from a group home.
"That doesn't sound like a good idea," McEvoy said. "Just on the surface it sounds to me like this woman should not be let go."
McEvoy, a former airline captain, was never able to fly a plane again after the beating he suffered by the intruder in his home left him with steel plates in his head and a traumatic brain injury.
Shirley and Robert Goerlich did not survive their encounter with Anderson, a neighbor whom the couple had tried to help despite her strange behavior. The 61-year-old Anderson, whose mental illness and gun use date back to her college years in Wisconsin, shot the couple to death, because she claimed they were torturing her and feeding her cookies with green mothballs.
Anderson was found not guilty by reason of insanity in 2007 in the slayings.
Florida State Hospital now wants to release Anderson but prosecutors have asked that she be re-evaluated. Circuit Judge R. Michael Hutcheson is awaiting reports from three experts to hold a hearing on whether to free her from the state hospital.
If Anderson were to be released she would go to Ocean View Manor. While Ocean View does not have anyone who has been charged with murder, its administrator Courtny Coerver said she and her staff are fully capable of caring for Anderson and would make sure she takes her meds.
"The number one activity of daily living is medication maintenance," Coerver said.
The facility has a medication window where clients come up to get their prescription drugs.
"Our pharmacy has a system that we go by and we observe the client taking the pill — drinking, swallowing and mouth open," Coerver said.
She said the assisted living facility routine accepts discharges from Florida State Hospital.
"I would rather see my tax dollars going into restoring someone than locking them up forever," she said.
Coerver said it's unrealistic to expect someone to be locked up in a state hospital for the rest of their lives.
"It's not like you can be NGRI (not guilty by reason of insanity) and not be restorable," Coerver said. "You are going to attest for someone's personal health for life and that just isn't possible."
Clients are not locked in but must follow certain procedures when coming and going from the assisted living facility, she said.
"If you are leaving the building you have to inform staff," Coerver said. "There's a written log sheet of who leaves and who comes in."
She said her facility would not set any special security procedures for someone in a homicide case.
"That's really determined by the judge," Coerver said. "It's called conditional release."
The facility has 85 clients ranging in age from 18 to 70 with only four forensic clients currently, she said. A forensic client is someone who has been charged with a felony but has been found not guilty by reason of insanity or incompetent to proceed in a legal case.
Anderson, like others who have committed crimes, would be monitored by case managers from Stewart Marchman-Act, she said.
The question of committing someone to a state hospital hinges on whether a person is dangerous to himself or others regardless of whether the crime is a felony or a misdemeanor, whether it was killing someone or stealing something, said Jim Cain, the forensic team leader at Stewart-Marchman-Act.
Seventy-one people were on Cain's radar last week. Fifty of those were at a state psychiatric hospital. Twenty-one were conditionally released into the community. Four of the 21 were judged incompetent to proceed in their criminal cases. Seventeen had been found not guilty by reason of insanity.
Cain said forensic team members check on them regularly.
"We see almost everybody every week," Cain said. "We have the capacity to see them more often if they are in a crisis or to send them to the crisis center."
The forensic team looks for signs that a person is "decompensating," basically headed for a problem. They check pill bottles and can require a random urinalysis, he said. If a client is not paying attention to his or her grooming or their dishes, that could be a sign of trouble.
"And you know we are seeing them in their home, we are not seeing them in the office, that makes a difference," Cain said. "You go there and there's a pile of dishes in the sink and there's never been a pile of dishes in the sink before, so I mean there are clues like that that suggest something's going awry there."
If the client is living independently, forensic team workers sometimes have to go by their word that they are taking their medication. But besides urinalysis, sometimes periodic lab work will indicate whether they've been taking the medication, Cain said.
And the forensic team would treat someone who is schizophrenic basically the same regardless of what the charge is, said Chet Bell, the CEO of Stewart-Marchman-Act.
"Our goal is if we can provide them with good mental health care the likelihood that they are not going to be a danger to themselves or others in the future is enhanced," Bell said. "And that's certainly a much better situation than just waving them goodbye at the door and saying good luck."
In cases involving murders people remain under the jurisdiction of the court for the rest of their lives. People who are found not guilty by reason of insanity and ordered to a state hospital are re-evaluated periodically, Cain said.
Whether someone remains in a state hospital or is conditionally released into the community is ultimately up to a judge, Cain said.
"It boils down to a judicial decision and not a hospital decision," Cain said.
Cain said he could not comment about the Heape case because of confidentiality laws.
"In each and every case we are concerned with the possibility of something awful happening," Cain said. "And we are alert to any signs that we see that the person might be getting worse in any way that would make anything like that possible. Sometimes it's possible for bad things to happen with no discernible signs or warnings."
Ernest Heape tied up his ex-girlfriend with duct tape but was found not guilty by reason of insanity after being diagnosed with depressive and psychotic disorders and talking of centipedes warning him not to let "them" steal his tongue. Circuit Judge James Clayton found that Heape didn't know right from wrong when he attacked the woman. Heape was placed under court-ordered supervision in a group home run by Act Corp., (which later merged with Stewart-Marchman). Three months later Act allowed Heape to move into an aunt's house in DeBary.
On Jan. 26, 2008, McEvoy drove up to his house in Ormond-by-the-Sea and noticed an outside light was on that he thought he had left off.
McEvoy walked into the house through the garage door. Heape suddenly appeared with a gun.
"He pointed it at me directly and said 'if you do as I say you are going to live and if you don't you are going to die,'" McEvoy said. "I was with him the next six hours and it was a nightmare."
McEvoy said he cooperated.
"I told him I'd give him whatever I had," McEvoy said. "I had $100 or some dollars in the house."
Heape forced McEvoy to drive around and withdraw money from ATMs. Heape became angry when an ATM's computer, apparently sensing something was amiss in the pattern of withdrawals, ate the bank card.
Heape used his pistol to beat McEvoy over the head. Heape eventually left McEvoy for dead in a pool of blood. Eleven days later, Heape reappeared in South Beach where he shot to death a security guard who tried to stop him from shoplifting at a drug store. As police closed in Heape shot himself to death.
McEvoy, 64, said he is lucky to be alive. He said Heape didn't talk about centipedes.
"He seemed wired," McEvoy said. "But definitely he wasn't out of bounds like that. He was fairly cogent as far as his ability to think. ... Obviously, the guy wasn't straight but he never talked about bugs or anything. It wasn't like he heard voices."
So McEvoy thinks authorities should carefully weigh whether to release Anderson, who killed the Port Orange couple.
"Just on the surface it sounds to me like this woman should not be let go," McEvoy said.

Medica, Fuentes, Smith proud of Double-A title
By George Von Benko / Special to MLB.com
PITTSBURGH -- Double-A San Antonio earned its 13th Texas League title with a 5-0 win over Arkansas in Game 5 of the Texas League Championship Series on Sunday afternoon in Little Rock, Ark.
Padres first baseman Tommy Medica was called up Sept. 11 from San Antonio, where he batted .296.
"It was awesome," Medica said. "They had a great pitching staff there and they got some timely hitting, especially in the last game and the game before."
Outfielder Reymond Fuentes was called up Aug. 26. He played in San Antonio before moving up to Triple-A. The 22-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough season, batting .330/.413/.448 with six home runs, 43 RBIs and 35 stolen bases in 107 games between Double-A and Triple-A.
"Being over here and reading on Twitter that they won it all was really exciting," Fuentes said. "Being a part of that team was an honor, just playing with all those good guys, our staff and just having fun at the field, it was a great year and it paid off really well."
Right-hander Burch Smith was plucked out of San Antonio on May 8. Smith was a 14th-round pick by the Padres in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft. He made 26 starts for Class A Lake Elsinore last year and six for San Antonio this year. He posted a 3.85 ERA for the Storm and a 1.15 ERA for the Missions.
"I'm real excited for my former teammates," Smith said. "I'm glad that they were able to go all the way."
Gyorko expecting big turnout in return to home turf
PITTSBURGH -- Morgantown, W.Va., native and former West Virginia University star Jedd Gyorko is enjoying a strong rookie season with the Padres, and the Mountain State is expected to turn out in big numbers to support him this week at PNC Park.
As many as 1,400 may make the trip to Pittsburgh over the course of the four-game series with the Pirates.
Gyorko had 106 hits, including 18 home runs, and 47 RBIs entering Monday. He hit .404 in three seasons with the Mountaineers and is a legend in Morgantown baseball circles.
"It's going to be interesting to see how many show up," Gyorko said. "Morgantown is home for me and we're like all one big family, so when something like this happens, they definitely gather and give me a lot of support."
Playing the Pirates in Pittsburgh will be a memorable experience for the University High graduate.
"It's going to be exciting to walk out there at PNC Park and play," Gyorko said. "When I was young, this is where I would come up and watch some games when they first built it. I was excited to come up here and watch games, so it's definitely going to be fun and exciting to play here.
"Yes, I was a Pirates fan growing up. But the day that the Padres drafted me, I pushed the Pirates off to the side. It's good to see them doing so well and I wish them well, but I want to beat them every time we play them."
Padres manager Bud Black was pleased to hear that fans are turning out for Gyorko.
"Isn't that great?" Black said. "Are they all going to be wearing Gyorko jerseys or T-shirts or Padre gear? I think that's great. I asked Jedd a couple of days ago what he was expecting. Usually you hear 20 or 30 [people] and he said, 'Well, maybe 1,500,' and I said, 'What?' We'll see how that plays out."
Worth noting
• Burch Smith on Sunday became just the third rookie pitcher in Padres history to record at least seven shutout innings with 10 or more strikeouts. He joined Dave Roberts, who tossed nine shutout innings with 10 whiffs Sept 16, 1970, against the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium, and Dan Spillner, who also posted nine scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts Sept. 11, 1974, vs. the Astros.

NY Times Profiles Former Monterey Institute Faculty Member, Assemblyman Bill Monning
April 20, 2010
In an April 18 article, the New York Times cites Assemblymember Bill Monning´s experience as teacher of international negotiation and conflict resolution at the Monterey Institute of International Studies as one of the assets he will bring to the task of implementing federal health care reform at the state level.
Assemblymember Monning was recently chosen to chair the influential Assembly Health Committee. The Times profile suggests his experience as a teacher of negotiation may help him to reach across party lines on the often contentious issue of health care reform, a suggestion Monning agrees with: "It´s been most useful in the committees where you can meet with stakeholders on either side of an issue and help bring them to some level of consensus or compromise."
Bill Monning taught negotiation classes at the Monterey Institute for many years and is the former president and co-founder of Global Majority, Inc., an organization committed to education, training and advocacy in the field of non-violent conflict resolution.

Cardinals make believers out of us all
By Hal Bodley / MLB.com
If anything, the deficit wasn't big enough.
Two runs in the bottom of the first, a homer in the third and this marvelous St. Louis juggernaut was on its way to a 6-2 cakewalk and its 11th World Series championship.
Eons from now, baseball historians will write about the incredible two months of 2011 when the Cards shrugged off seemingly insurmountable odds to bury Major League Baseball's best en route to the sport's biggest prize.
The Cardinals quickly silenced skeptics who suggested it was asking too much for them to stop the hungry Rangers in a winner-take-all Game 7 on Friday night after their draining, historic comeback the night before.
The inference was the Cards might have run out of miracles. They pushed aside five -- count 'em -- Texas leads in Game 6 before David Freese's 11th-inning walk-off homer gave them a 10-9 victory, pushing the Series to a seventh game for the first time in nine years.
It was Freese -- named World Series MVP presented by Chevrolet to go along with his National League Championship Series MVP trophy -- who shattered the Rangers' spirit in the bottom of the first when he doubled home two runs to wipe out the early Texas lead.
"When you play Philly, you play Milwaukee, you play Texas, there's no time to take it easy," said Freese, who grew up 20 miles from St. Louis as a Cardinals fan. "There is some luck involved and momentum to win a championship, but we did enough things right in this Series to win it."
No matter what manager Ron Washington and his players said, coming back after Thursday's jarring setback when the Rangers twice seemingly had their first championship in hand was a reach.
"Sometimes when opportunity is in your presence, you certainly can't let it get away, because sometimes, it takes a while before it comes back," said Washington. "If there's one thing that happened in this World Series that I'll look back on is being so close, just having one pitch to be made and one out to be gotten, and it could have been a different story."
Red letter day
|Last win
|Red Sox
Washington didn't say it, but this St. Louis team of destiny wouldn't let it happen.
Freese's two-run double on Texas starter Matt Harrison's 3-2 pitch followed by Allen Craig's third-inning home run sealed the deal. It was the first time the Rangers lost back-to-back games since Aug. 25.
Oh, yes, Craig.
Talk about overcoming adversity.
Matt Holliday, the Cardinals' highest-paid player, was taken off the roster on Friday because of a sprained right wrist suffered Thursday and was replaced by Craig in the starting lineup.
Not only did Craig blast the homer that put St. Louis on top for good, but in the sixth, he took a homer away from Nelson Cruz with a leaping catch in left field. It's doubtful Holliday would have made the play.
St. Louis built its lead to 5-2 in the fifth, scoring twice without a hit. In fact, it scored five runs, with Freese's double and Craig's homer as the only hits.
As Carpenter, who started slowly working on three days' rest, got stronger as the game progressed, it became obvious how important Wednesday's postponement was. Without it, the Cards' ace would not have gotten the start in Game 7, which would have been played on Thursday.
On Aug. 25, the Cardinals were 10 1/2 games behind the Braves in the NL Wild Card race. They were 8 1/2 back with 21 to go and trailed Atlanta by three games with five remaining in the regular season.
Carpenter repeated the theme of a team meeting in August that woke up the players.
"It was about not embarrassing ourselves," said Carpenter, who won two of the Cards' four games, with a 2.84 ERA. "It was about continuing to play hard, to give something to our fans, no matter if we won or we didn't win."
Manager Tony La Russa put it this way: "It was overwhelming. We were on the edge game after game. You might lose one, but as it got closer, elimination games, the character on this club is off the charts.
"And we are more talented than I think some people realize, especially as we got healthy. But you play with that urgency. It's a little scary at times and it takes a lot out of you, but it's really fun to compete that way."
As many in the sellout crowd of 47,399 began a celebration that will last until Spring Training, there was an announcement of a St. Louis parade on Sunday, complete with fireworks.
A nice gesture, but it will be anticlimactic to the show the Cardinals put on this year.
Their show, complete with their own brand of fireworks, was the culmination of two unbelievable months when they shrugged off the odds, buried opponents and played best with their backs against the wall.
That show was one for the ages -- or beyond.

"Offering ad-supported webmail is now a game for the likes of Google and Yahoo!, he added."
"Offering ad-supported webmail is now a game for the likes of Google and Yahoo!, he added."
yeah, because hotmail is rubbish
Postmaster will shutter its free webmail service from the middle of next month because it has been unable to win enough advertising revenue. The service, which launched in 1996 and was Europe's first free webmail offering, used to be advertised as "free for life" by former owner Bibliotech. From August 14 users will have to pay …
"Offering ad-supported webmail is now a game for the likes of Google and Yahoo!, he added."
yeah, because hotmail is rubbish
Like sorting out other Spider Networks balls-ups, perhaps?
Rather than other ISPs who lose their mail for weeks at a time.. It's free - what does everyone expect? You have to make money somehow!
Providing a "free" service is purely a numbers game - if you have big numbers of users (Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail and so on) then advertisers will pay. If you haven't, they wont. That's it.
It would take a really big player (say BT?) to try and break into that now.
Personally, I would happily pay a few pounds a year not to have adverts, but I don't seem to get that choice.
What I really would like is to be given the 8mps BT promised me - and for which I DO pay - but that's another story...
I used to have a postmaster account. It was the address I gave to everyone. I developed email software, so it seemed like an appropriate address to have.
Over time, I got more and more spam. There were no spam filters - or if there were, they appeared to do nothing. I had to wade through hundreds of spam messages looking for my legitimate email. The user interface was clunky, which made this incredibly tedious.
Then they started adding animated adverts to the site.
I'm surprised they've kept going this long.
...have been told what to expect.
If you kill off 80% of your user base of course it would become faster and more reliable.
Ye gods, lets state the obvious as a selling point, we have no users, our service is fast and stable because it isn't pushed to any real degree of load.
for those wondering about the email spam problem, we used to do daily spam management, then after the board coup those looking after such things were let go. I wouldn't have minded but I came in during my vacation time to give out Christmas gifts and got "leg go"; thanks for the memories.
It is a shame because the technologies are really valuable... or were when perl was a leader in cgi. and their exim management tools where rather nifty.
"Personally, I would happily pay a few pounds a year not to have adverts, but I don't seem to get that choice."
Doesn't Gmail offer that service? I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure they have a pay-for ad-free version.
"Personally, I would happily pay a few pounds a year not to have adverts, but I don't seem to get that choice."
I use Fastmail.FM, which is a subscription email service. It might not be to everyone's tastes, and it has had some major outages in the past, but it now has full replication which should insure against any repeats of previous problems.
It's a major service, with tens of thousands of subscribers. It does also offer a basic free plan with limited storage space - so you could give it a test run - but many of the useful advanced features are only available to those who pay up.
And no I don't work for them - as can be seen from the above I give them money!
If you want no ads, just firefox as your browser, and install the Adblock app. Works for me.
Then why not get your own domain and web site. Domain names are cheap, and you can certainly find web site deals with 5 email addresses for a pittance.
my first web based email accounts have been with postmaster, never had any problems with spam, or any other canned ham products.
i have emails going back to when i started with them, they are all there, and as for speed never seen any issues on any of the 3 accounts, its just a shame you cant have a bulk account system ie pay for more than one account, as in relaity i can only view 1 page at once.
Back in 1997, about the same time Postmaster started, I signed up with The Personal E-Mail Company (pemail.net) who promised "Get a unique E-mail adress FREE for life. The latest web-based E-mail service provides you with a personalised E-mail communication solution for the rest of your life."
It lasted about 4 years and then just suddenly shut down with very little communication to subscribers other than a weak story on their web site stating that a serious technical fault meant the service could no longer be continued. It seems rather ambitious to claim your service will operate 'for life' if you don't even have the cash to replace failed equipment.
Thankfully soon the ASA will soon be able to take action against ridiculous claims and unfulfilled promises made on company web sites.
I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for the ASA - the same people who are happy to allow companies to advertise "unlimited" services that are limited by ill-defined "fair use" policies,
If you don't want ads then use Firefox and add the Adblock Plus AND Adblock Filterset.G Updater add-ons. It's that simple.
Back in '96, there was a service (can't remember what company though) that gave you "email redirectors" with a lot of "cool" domains, like 2die4.com, rocketship.com, et al. They promised back then that those of us who signed up would get the service for free. And that I did, I even could send e-mail thru their SMTP server, provided I used my e-mail addy set up with them.
SMTP went for-pay sometime around '98. Then sometime around 2000-ish, my "free" service was dropped out entirely, much in this current Postmaster fashion. Thing is, I used that address as my "main" e-mail addy because of its redirecting properties. *sigh*
Oh, if you want to block ads, do what I do: set up a squid proxy, and set it to filter out atdmt, googlesyndication, campaign.indieclick.com and such. All banners will silently dissappear, regardless of what browser you use ;)
Was the service you were referring to Daniel

When a country as large as India has produced so few Olympic winners that most kids can rattle off the names of the majority of them, it's clear that we, as a country, are not a 'sports' nation. Each year, we scramble for the crumbs of good news; a bronze medal here, a silver there. In the 2008 edition, India was 50th on the medal tally, behind even countries like Estonia and Latvia. The Olympics are clearly not for a country like India – it's like Sholay hoping to win an Oscar.

Even if one might argue that as a contingent we just make up the numbers and languish at the bottom of the points table, it doesn't take away the joy of watching a Bolt, Isinbayeva or Federer compete on the grandest stage. Of course, when Abhinav Bindra shoots down a gold, the interest factor for every Indian increases thanks to media coverage. It's our bad luck that we don't have a Carl Lewis or an Ian Thorpe, but that doesn't mean Indians can't appreciate the beauty of their art.

Eh, Raxco Perfectdisk will bring it to zero in a single pass too, consolidation and all (except for locked system files but that's a given). Faster too since it's unlikely to have to move every single file.
Depending on how full the disk is, it may need to move *some* files multiple times though.

Megan may have out-foxed all other actresses -- but when it comes to role-playing she's a flop.
The sultry stunner who infamously dissed her own lackluster acting chops was crowned both the worst actress and the sexiest female of 2009, according to a poll on AOL's Moviefone.com.
The brunette bombshell gave the worst performance of the year in the blockbuster sequel "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen," a film that earned the titles of best action film of 2009 and worst film of the year overall, according to the poll.
Fox was critical of her performance in the first installment of the series, saying her acting was "terrible."
"I'm terrible in it," she told EW.com. "It's my first real movie, and it's not honest and not realistic. The movie wasn't bad; I just wasn't proud about what I did."
Robert Pattinson was named sexiest male actor.

But on the other hand, we have the United Center. That's due to United Airlines. But everytime I hear it, it actually sounds good...unity in the diverse city of Chicago. Wow! It's sounds as natural (or even better) than Soldier Field or Wrigley Field. Are there any other sponsored sports stadiums that flow as well as the United Center?

Then + Now: Mayim Bialik from 'Blossom'
'Blossom' star Mayim Bialik was a '90s trendsetter for teens everywhere with her funky style and all those flowery hats. But what has she been up to since the show ended?
Mayim Bialik played the title character on the hit series — a teen girl whose mom leaves her to live with her father and two brothers, including '90s teen heartthrob Joey Lawrence (whoa). You may have also seen Bialik on 'The Facts of Life,' or as the younger version of Bette Midler's character in the tearjerker chick-flick 'Beaches.'
Following the end of 'Blossom' in 1995, Bialik mostly did voice-over acting work for shows like 'The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest' and 'Recess.' It wasn't until 2005 that Bialik got back into acting proper, appearing on episodes of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm,' 'Bones,' and 'Saving Grace.' She also notoriously appeared in an episode of the TLC series 'What Not to Wear,' in which she sought fashion advice and a makeover for her dowdy look.
In 2007, Bialik received her PhD in neuroscience, and used that geeky knowledge to help land a recurring role on 'The Big Bang Theory' in 2010. She continues to act on the show and earned a well-deserved Emmy nomination for her role in 2012.

I don't think a Vampire couple could ever split up. Their love seems so much more absolute than "human" love. Maybe that is why the lover feels the need to avenge one's death.
Hmmm....if Marcus ever knew how his wife died, would he avenge her?

Great Amp!
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I needed an amp that was bridgeable to power one 10" sub for my Camaro. This one fit the bill perfectly. This was my first MTX product but had friends that had good luck with their stuff. It was on sale so I decided to take a chance. This thing has plenty of power for my application. I even had to keep turning the gain down because it was just overpowering the rest of the stereo system. I give it 2 thumbs up.
Pros: Easy wiring. Didn't even need to use a remote wire for turning it on and off.
Cons: It's a little on the larger side so finding a spot for it in my car was slightly challenging but not a big deal.

Gibson establishing routine before Majors debut
By Joe Morgan / MLB.com
MIAMI -- Kyle Gibson is finally in the Majors.
Gibson, the second-ranked pitcher and No. 4 overall prospect in the Twins' farm system, was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday to replace lefty Pedro Hernandez, who was optioned to Rochester following Sunday's game.
He will make his first start on Saturday against the Royals at Target Field.
"It's starting to kick in now," Gibson said during batting practice on Tuesday. "I went out on the field and got to play catch and got to throw a 'pen. Everyone was so welcoming when I came in, shook my hand and said, 'Congrats.' It's a dream come true."
The right-hander's promotion provides a much-needed boost to Minnesota's starting rotation, which ranked last in the Majors with a 5.23 ERA entering Tuesday. Gibson is 7-5 with a 3.01 ERA, and he has held opponents to a .229 batting average in 15 starts with the Red Wings.
Gibson's promotion also comes on the heels of a social media blitz by Twins fans, many of whom have tweeted and printed t-shirts with the slogan, "Free Gibson."
Minnesota has made an effort not to rush Gibson, who underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow on Sept. 7, 2011.
"They thought I needed a couple more weeks, and I'm glad they gave it to me, because I was able to really sharpen some things up and work on some things," Gibson said. "My fastball command's a lot better. I'm not being as fine, and I'm going from the middle of the plate to the corners, rather than starting in halves and starting in the corners."
Part of the effort to ease Gibson into the big leagues was the Twins' decision to have him join the team five days before his first scheduled start. Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire described the club's approach with Gibson as "a really good thing."
"We get all of the prelim stuff out of the way," Gardenhire said. "Let him throw a bullpen session. Let him sit on the bench and watch some Major League baseball games, and that'll help."
Gibson added: "I'm thankful they gave me five days to come up here and kind of get my feet wet."
While Gibson is grateful that he can focus primarily on establishing his routine for a couple of days, both he and the Twins know that the real first step comes on Saturday.
"I don't really know that I can prepare myself too much for that," Gibson said. "That's the one thing that's going to be the most exciting thing. That's probably going to be one of the most exciting things -- leaving that dugout at 3:10 and heading out to field and hoping that I can throw that first pitch right down the middle and get it out of the way."
"Nothing's going to take the place of him walking out to the mound for the first time and stepping out on the mound," said Gardenhire.
Gardenhire would like DH in all Interleague Play
MIAMI -- The Twins' two-game set against the Marlins marks the final time Minnesota will play in a National League park for the remainder of the regular season.
Count Twins manager Ron Gardenhire as someone who is happy with this schedule. Like his fellow American League managers, Gardenhire loses his designated hitter and is forced to bat his pitchers when facing NL opponents on the road.
"When they come to an American League ballpark, they get to add a player," Gardenhire said. "And we, basically, are doing just the opposite. We're putting a pitcher in the lineup and taking out a DH. It does make a difference."
In order to neutralize the difference, Gardenhire suggested that the designated hitter should be implemented for all Interleague games, regardless of venue.
"Let the DH play in both games -- in our park and in their park," Gardenhire said. "I think if they're going to continue [season-long Interleague play], I wouldn't mind seeing [them] just use the DH the whole time. I know it's never going to happen. There's too many people that believe in the no-DH system. I was part of that National League stuff, too. But I would like the idea if they just go DH all the time for Interleague play."
Gardenhire has no issue with pitchers hitting in NL games. He spent his entire five-year MLB career with the Mets.
According to Gardenhire, implementing the DH rule in all Interleague games would benefit both teams.
"Make it the same for both teams," he said. "We play our style, and they play our style. No one's losing anything there. Teams gain. ...
"So, you still set it up with a guy that's just basically a hitter. Over there, they use them as pinch-hitters. We use them as a DH. And your team over there is set up with a couple of good pinch-hitters."
Gardenhire: Pelfrey will benefit from time off
Twins right-hander Mike Pelfrey may be on the 15-day disabled list with a back strain, but manager Ron Gardenhire is not too worried.
In fact, Gardenhire believes Pelfrey will benefit from the time off.
"Especially coming back from Tommy John, this is probably a good time of the season to take a step back, miss a couple of starts," Gardenhire said. "He told me he's probably 90 percent. So, believe me, he won't miss much work."
Minnesota scratched Pelfrey from his scheduled start last Sunday and placed him on the 15-day disabled list after he suffered a back strain while running during batting practice on Saturday.
Left-hander Pedro Hernandez was recalled from Triple-A Rochester to start in Pelfrey's place, and he earned the win in a 5-3 victory against the Indians. Hernandez gave up two runs on three hits with six walks and two strikeouts in five innings.
Pelfrey is 3-6 with a 6.11 ERA in 14 starts.
Gardenhire praises Redmond, his former player
MIAMI -- Not long after beginning his first season managing a Major League club, former Twins catcher and Marlins manager Mike Redmond faced his former skipper, Ron Gardenhire. On April 23, the teams split a doubleheader at Target Field.
Redmond played under Gardenhire from 2005-2009.
While Redmond and Miami sported the worst record in the Majors entering Tuesday (25-50), Gardenhire believes in Redmond's potential as the Marlins' skipper.
"[Catchers] see the whole field," Gardenhire said. "They sit back and watch the whole field. They watch where the infielders are moving to. Catchers are always involved in all the meetings and everything. They get to know hitters, they watch what hitters do at home plate.
"He was that. And the way he handled himself, the way the players responded to him and respected him made it real simple to know if he wanted to, that he would get into this side of it."

Congratulations to Jerome Rigor for continuing his lacrosse career at Division 1 Sacred Heart Univeristy. My son played with him on the Norcal Vail team when they were in 7th grade. Back then he played middie and scored 6 goals in one game, a very special player.

Tony La Russa postgame interview
Cards manager says both starters outstanding
By / MLB.com
TONY LA RUSSA:Well, it pains me that -- no way in hell, to suggest Jeff's name for tomorrow -- no way to suggest that he's a losing pitcher. He was equally as good, two outs, nobody on, two run out like that, we can't break through offensively. Jeff was outstanding. So was Glavine. We hit too many balls in the air. I mean, it's tough to win when you do that.
Beltrán's home run, does that give you bad flashbacks to a couple years ago in the playoffs?
TONY LA RUSSA:A bad flashback to when we were here in August or September when he did that to us. He's in a good spot, he's got a guy behind him that can challenge. He was so aggressive all night long. He made a great pitch on Lo Duca and Scott made a great effort, just barely out of his reach. That's the way this game was decided, it was really close and they broke through like that. We had a couple chances, though.
The play with Albert straight off first base, or too far off the bag?
TONY LA RUSSA:Let me tell you, Albert is an outstanding baserunner and I'm not exaggerating, he's an outstanding baserunner. Part of it is aggressiveness and almost always he mixes in good sense. That was the exception. They had a read -- when he first read it, he read blooper but the ball hung up in the wind and basically a mistake; a rare one for him.

text: Based on discussions I've followed and participated in over the past couple of years I'm intrigued by a comparison of sorts and opinions of folks here. I do hope we can keep the discussion civil and focus our (potentially) negative remarks in regards to the films themselves and specifically why something didn't work for us. "It sucked huge" might be an opinion, but it isn't very informative, specific or helpful. On the flip side s criticism of a film shouldn't be taken as a personal attack against someone who might like the film, so please just let it go. Three films, all in genres I generally like, have drawn a lot of polarized opinion. So I'd like to see some other views on them. The Dark Knight Rises (2012) - Lots of us like Batman, but not everyone liked Christopher Nolan's take on him and his world. I liked Nolan's overall take, but while I think there's a fair story in TDR I think it needed to be fleshed out more. A lot is made of serious issues not being well addressed in the film, but this is after all a superhero film and you're not likely to see serious issues addressed there beyond broad strokes. This is essentially entertainment and not a documentary. TDKR also suffers in comparison to The Dark Knight (which, honestly, has a lot of its own issues) and yet that film is considered a near masterpiece. After all is said and done, even with its missteps, it was a decent enough film and entertaining and I think it's the best of the lot. Nolan made an effort to make Batman and his world seem more realistic than other films of the genre, but he still took genre specific liberties so it really can't be compared to truly dramatic films that address issues Prometheus (2012) - The early Alien films (particularly 1 and 2) are considered classics and as such cast a rather large shadow to step into. Prometheus certainly follows in terms of visual impact and cinematography---it's a gorgeous film to look at. I didn't find it a bad film to watch either although I have reservations over how some of the characters behaved. Again, like TDKR, the this film needed to be fleshed out a bit more and have some things made a bit more clear to eliminate confusion. It's fine to raise questions, but not everything should be left ambiguous. Again, like TDKR, this is an ambitious film that needed its creator to step back and give it a critical look before releasing it as is. Prometheus also compares with another ambitious film, Avatar, which I think was a lot more disappointing. I still quite enjoyed Prometheus, but it could have been better with some clarifications and a little smarter thinking. This one comes in second. Star Trek (2009) - This should have been a no-brainer: revisit and reboot TOS, my absolute favourite television series overall. It could have been done...but it wasn't. My issue isn't that it was rebooted---that was practically inevitable. My issue is that everything that I love about the original series and Star Trek in general went missing here. In previous films spun off the original series I can critique every one of them to some extent or other yet they all still managed to resonate with the original subject matter to some degree or other. Rather than criticize every single thing I disliked I think I can summarize by saying that the intent was to remake Star Trek into something else, to effectively make it more like another franchise, Star Wars. The argument has been used that ST09 is similar enough to TOS' lesser episodes and hence it's still faithful. I reject that view because those lesser efforts were in the minority and thus not truly representative of the majority of better work that enthused so many people and made the show popular. Would it not have been better to emulate and evoke the likes of "The Corbomite Maneuver," "Balance Of Terror" and "The Doomsday Machine" rather than the likes of "I, Mudd" and "Spock's Brain?" Hell, it isn't even on the level of "Spock's Brain" which has a legitimate SF story at the heart of it. At any rate I didn't recognize anything of what I love about TOS in ST09---the film and its elements had simply been pushed too far afield into a form that irritated me. I hope I've been specific and civil enough. Anyone else?

One of only two Olympic match ups worth watching.
LOL @ ESPN announcers complaining about the refs making right travel calls.
Wow i didn't know Calderon was on Spain, i thought without Rubio would hinder them from being able to compete.
Melo is beastin but did you see DWill get shattered on that crossover?!
Melo putting in hard labor right now

"@SirCoreGant: @alanhahn But on this squad you can see he has complete faith in his teammates..." Exactly
Two words, one name ; Carmelo Anthony! This guys a Monster. Gotta admit im loving the new melo. Attack and he's real fluid. Looking like an early favorite for MVP.
