Goood morning everyone,
New week, let's make it a good one people
Monday is a X-training day: slow and heavy strength training. Chest, back and shoulders. Added on abs (with light weights). Felt real good . Despite the gorgeous morning, no time for a short recovery run.
Dutchie I go running in the early morning, before my brain figures out what I'm up to.
Run the day, or the day runs you.
Actions determine state of mind - Aristotle
4.8 slow, wet miles this morning, ugh
Yesterday - rainy - so I went to the gym and biked for 20 minutes, elliptical 20 minutes, weight training 20 minutes, and 5 minutes of jumping rope.
Saturday - easy 6 miles.
Off to a work meeting tonight/ tomorrow - the I will be free for vacation starting Thursday!
Happy Monday, A
Crabby: I'm on your tail. You better start running
Thanks for reminding me...I have been in a sore knee state for a bit but should get out today for something.
I ran a 5 K at midnight on Saturday with my non-running husband. It was a PR for slowest 5K but after a full meal, wine, beer and dessert what can you expect?? My daughter won a $400 prize (Flight seeing in Alaska) for her costume which was call Alaska GaGa girls. She actually work a crab-pot.

Quickie post: did a 5.7K easy run this morning and added a 45 min LB endurance w/o with a bit of plyo thrown in.
Perfesser: it must be such a relief that you can run again. It took me a full month to get that level of fitness back after 5 weeks of no running. And I still can't run the long runs I did before the surgery.
Ayola: are you going somewhere for your vacation?
Crabby: congrats that your daughter won a prize. Is she allowed to bring someone with her?
Just a dude.
Last night was 8.7... Ran it briskly... not really fast... but faster than a typical easy run...
So I tentatively join in, being really cautious... I did the 100s slowish... the 200s were on only 30 seconds rest and the 400s were on 60 seconds rest... My hamstring let me do ok on the 200s and push just about where I would want to be on the 400s... I ended up with a pretty good workout... I was very cautious with my hammy, and backed off whenever things felt tight... which wasn't very often...
Very encouraged... even tempted to run a 2 mile race Saturday... we'll see how that goes...
Getting back in shape... Just need it to be a skinnier shape...
Dutchie, I was pretty disciplined with the elliptical, I'm hoping that will make my recovery quicker.
Followed it up with almost 5 this evening...
Hamstring is feeling good... My butt was kinda tight tonite tho... will have to monitor that...
Glad to see you up and going again Perfessor...
Gratz to your daughter Crabby... sounds like it was fun overall...
On the road again...
I have a love/hate relationship with running. I do it, but sometimes I love to hate it.
Yapper: nice to see you again What marathon will you be training for? If your near the midpoint, than your doing way better than me. Congrats.
Kelly: careful doing hard workouts!
Perfesser: probably fitness wise the elliptical will have helped maintaining fitness. Not so sure about the impact though. But good luck. Maybe you're one of those runners that can just jump in and run a lot of mileage without any problems (I have a colleague who's like that).
Crabby: you've been running yet?
Went out too late too. I just don't do well at any temp over 15C.
Crabby: I'll just keep chasing you ) And we're both closing in on Perfesser
Short 3 this morning - I'm off to the coast of Maine for vacation literally in a few minutes - first a stop in the town where we used to live to see everyone and then on to a small beach cabin for a week with some close friends.
I'm planning on a few one hour runs and some hiking in Reid State Park. Also planning on filling up on lobster and oysters and cava.
Have a great holiday (Canadians and Americans) Dutchie - get back to work!
I'll check in midweek July 12th, A
Crabby: I'll just keep chasing you ) And we're both closing in on Perfesser
Yeah, it's been a tough 6 weeks but hopefully I'll get going again now. Drat, I'm more than 80 miles behind the bunny.
Had a nice 3-miler with Monkey Trent in Nashville today. He's injured too so it was a nice easy pace, and the weather was cool for a change.
This was my first "outside" running in many weeks and it really felt good to get off the treadmill and actually GO somewhere. A little twinge in the foot but it feels like a little tendinitis from my spastic toes and not the injury. Still taking it easy, though.
Drat, I was hoping to do Peachtree but couldn't get the 4th off. It's the first time in 6 years I've missed it

Another puerile, sad elephant dick having to jerk himself off with so much beauty in his bed. How humiliating this must be for these angels. any sane man would come massively and naturally with such an incredible beauty. Go see your shrink, you pathetic turd.
so sexy
Nice though
that's my wife asshole
In an early part of the video, SHE puts HIS cock into HER pussy. This is one video in which it is not all about the GUY reaching orgasm.
Lara Croft: Piano Troubles
I like her bouncing tits....
What a gorgeous young woman with a pair of large natural breasts. She would be ten out of ten if she got rid of that silly "landing strip" at her pussy
ok that is it!im done with porn
When I was in college, I dated a music major and she spent at least 2 hours every evening in the practice room at the music hall. She asked me to join her in the room so I could walk her back to the dorm in the dark. We made out quite a bit in the practice room... she would hang a sweater over the peep window, and we would lean against the door so no one could just "pop in". One evening, we really got into the making out and she was grinding on my dick, and when I reached under her skirt, she wasn't wearing any panties. I used her hand to unzip my pants, pull out my dick, and then place it between her legs... she was so hot by then that she literally hopped onto my dick. We fucked standing against the door for quite a while, and I was worried the noise might cause some attention... fortunately the room she always picked was the last room on the last row, furthest from the entrance. We fucked in the practice room several times after that, and then usually stopped behind some trees on campus for another good fuck before we got back to her dorm. Female music majors are the best to date.
She looks somewhat bored to my mind. She also seemed reluctant to take it all in. Only once when they briefly stopped to adjust did she have nearly all of it in. Lovely body though. Like 'Puff', i also wonder why the cumshot has to be external and all over the face. I would find that degrading too.
E.coli, here she come!!! Ass to pussy is particularly healthy..
not a big fan of porn where the dude doesn't shove his dick all the way in...the downside of being well hung I guess
Hooo god what a cin. I love it. Soooo yam I
I wish I wasn't single.
Nice vid, she's reeeeeally sexy. Saw her in a video of five busty women in a gym banging the shit out of two dude's asses (well, not literally). I jacked it 'til it was red watching her hitting some man ass, it was really hot. It was before her implants as well. I hate implants with a passion!!! >:-(
Bei der Lehrerin würde ich auch nur ungern Klavier spielen lernen, sondern andere Dinge machen.
She is totally gorgeous, gorgeous tits, gorgeous edible pussy, gorgeous ass..

Suspect faces five charges after allegedly leading police on a high-speed chase on a motorcycle in Wadena County
87 in a 30 and drunk?A suspect allegedly led police on a 3-mile chase in northern Wadena County July 8, reaching speeds nearly triple the speed limit, all while drunk, court records said.
A Menahga police officer clocked a motorcycle going 87 miles per hour in a 30 mph zone around 7:10 p.m., and pursued the bike north on U.S. Highway 71, court documents indicated. As the officer turned on his squad car lights, the motorcycle, carrying two people, passed two cars and another motorcycle on the shoulder of the road. The officer then activated his siren and continued the pursuit for three miles, at which point the suspect turned onto a dead-end road, came to the end, and stopped and put his hands in the air.
The suspect, James Robert Dahlin, now 55, spent the rest of the evening before his birthday on July 9 with police. They immediately noticed an odor of alcohol and administered a breath test, which registered 0.101, in excess of the legal limit of 0.08.
The Menahga man was charged July 11 in Wadena County District Court with fleeing a peace officer in a motor vehicle, fourth-degree DWI (two counts), reckless driving and speeding in excess of 20 miles per hour more than the posted limit. He was released on $300 bail until his initial court appearance, which was set for July 26.

A Spartanburg teenager was killed Saturday afternoon by a falling tree.
A Spartanburg teenager was killed Saturday afternoon by a falling tree.
Daniel Vladimirovich Prokhor, 17, was with friends at about 2:30 p.m. Saturday near 565 Wilkins Road in Campobello clearing an ATV trail when an accident caused a tree to fall on him, hitting him in the head.
The tree that was being cut down fell on another tree. The second tree fell on Prokhor.
Prokhor was taken by EMS to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead at 3:20 p.m., according to a statement from Spartanburg County Coroner Rusty Clevenger's office.
Daniel Prokhor's family, including four sisters, parents and cousins were gathered at the family's house in Boiling Springs Saturday night. His mother, Inna Prokhor cried restrained tears as she talked about her son.
"He was a very nice looking young man, handsome," she said.
Daniel Prokhor recently left Byrnes High School to take accelerated home-school classes and finish his degree ahead of schedule and go to pilot school, she said.
The teenager was musical. He played the saxophone and piano and hoped to one day play the piano professionally. He was also active in his church.
It was church friends he was with when he died on Saturday, Inna Prokhor said.
By the time the friends knew the second tree was falling, there was no time for Daniel Prokhor to get out of the way.
"No one was expecting it to happen like that," she said.

Dec. 14, 2012
Here is the latest edition of Week In Review - a series of weekly messages from the Mayor and City Council to help Richardson residents and businesses keep up to date on events at City Hall. A list of links for stories in this edition is available at the bottom of the page.
City Council Approves Zoning for Bush Turnpike Development
The City Council on Monday approved zoning for 186 acres of land near Bush Turnpike and Central Expressway that will become a $1.5 billion master-planned project developed by KDC.
KDC's project includes key blocks of land on the east and west sides of Plano Road. The east side includes 147.5 acres of land on the north side of Renner Road, between Plano Road and Wyndham Lane. The west side includes 38.5 acres of land south of Bush Turnpike between Plano Road and the DART light rail tracks. Conceptual design is under way for an urban environment that will incorporate build-to-suit office buildings, an integrated healthcare facility, 3,925 multi-family residential units, hotels, retail and restaurants.
The mixed-use development is part of the City of Richardson's Tax Increment Financing Zone 2 outlined in the Bush/75 Urban Center Development Infrastructure Support Strategy. In addition to the zoning approval, the City Council on Monday also adopted and approved the final plan for the TIF zone.
The TIF, established in 2011, was created by the City Council to attract high-quality development. It uses funds generated through a portion of increased real property tax values within the district over a 25-year period to reimburse the developer for up-front costs incurred to install necessary public infrastructure and other public improvements.
KDC's 38.5-acre tract west of Plano Road is part of a planned 57.1 acre mixed-use, transit-oriented development originally approved in early 2011. The remainder, approximately 18.6 acres, is planned to be developed by Zale Corson Group beginning in 2013. The area, along Renner Road west of Plano Road, would include approximately 800 multifamily residential units, retail-ready ground floor space, structured parking and planned streetscape amenities.

Heights Recreation Center Closing Starts This Weekend
Heights Recreation Center will be open regular hours through Saturday. After that, the nearly 50-year-old facility will be closed and soon demolished as part of a project to construct a new facility, which is expected to open next to the old location in May 2013.
During the closure, Heights Recreation Center classes and programs will be held at Huffhines Recreation Center and other City facilities. Stay posted on all changes through the City's website at www.cor.net/parks.
The new Heights Recreation Center is approximately the same size, is similarly designed and will have many of the same amenities as Huffhines Recreation Center. The new Center will include a high school regulation-sized basketball court, larger fitness and cardio areas, updated locker rooms, larger classroom space and much more. The $11.8 million project is funded through the 2010 Bond Program.
City Council Awards Bid to Build Park on Weatherred Drive
The City Council on Monday awarded a bid of $580,820 to Cooper General Contractors to construct a neighborhood park on Weatherred Drive. Construction is expected to begin later this month and be complete by May 2013. The project, which is funded through the 2010 Bond Program, includes demolishing and removing four homes on the site.
The new park will be located on four contiguous lots from 400 to 406 S. Weatherred Dr. and will include a playground, pavilion, plaza, open play lawn and butterfly garden. Some of the features will include bricks from the homes that will be demolished to make room for the park.
The park pavilion is designed with a mid-century modern approach that honors the history of the neighborhood. The final design was generated after several community meetings to gather public input.

NTMWD to Offer Free Chlorine Maintenance
The North Texas Municipal Water District, which supplies water to the City of Richardson, has scheduled a free chlorine maintenance that will be conducted on water distribution systems from Jan. 14 to Feb. 11, 2013. The maintenance will not affect water quality, although residents may notice taste and odor changes.

Just what you needed: another mixed message about your health. The top health story this Memorial Weekend was sunscreens might cause skin cancer.
The story originated from the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a nonprofit organization that "protect(s) the most vulnerable… from health problems attributed to a wide array of toxic contaminants."
EWG announced their list of best and worst sunscreens last week. They also published a statement that claims creams which contain a vitamin A derivative, retinyl palmitate, increase the risk of skin cancer in laboratory mice. The creams studied were not sunscreens, but rather simple cream with retinyl palmitate. Because many sunscreens contain retinyl palmitate, the EWG is urging the FDA to study this further and is also urging people to avoid sunscreens with vitamin A derivatives in the meantime. Some sunscreens contain retinyl or retinols as a "wrinkle-fighting" ingredient in the sunscreen.
So what should you do? Here are my tips:
- Ultraviolet light from the sun is radiation and is unquestionably the most important cause of skin cancer.
- Sunscreens in general do not cause skin cancer.
- No study has yet looked at retinyl palmitate when used in a sunscreen.
- It is reasonable to avoid sunscreens that contain retinyl or other vitamin A derivatives until more studies are done, if you're concerned.
- Choose a sunscreen with an SPF of 30. Look for zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, avobenzone, ecamsule (Mexoryl) or octocrylene.
- Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours.

What is your take on sunscreen safety?
What about sunscreens and vitamin D?

Satele v. AfoaCite as [Satele v. Afoa, 1 A.S.R. 467 (Trial Div., 1942)]
SATELE of Vailoa, Plaintiff
AFOA of Taputimu, Defendant
No. 10-1932
High Court ofAmerican Samoa
Civil Jurisdiction, Trial Division
[Land: "Lagoe'e" part of land "Siumalo" in TualataiCounty]
Date unknown
Action to determine ownership of land "Lagoe'e" in Tualatai County. At the trial of the case, defendant obtained judgment by default. Since the plaintiff was sick and not able to be present at trial, the court permitted plaintiff leave to request that the case be reopened within 60 days. The case was reopened upon plaintiff's timely application, whereupon the High Court, Chief Justice E.C. Johnson, presiding, reversed its former decision and held that the land "Lagoe'e" belonged to the Satele Family.
Judgment for plaintiff.
1. Real Property-Quieting Title--Evidence of Ownership Generally; Evidence-Best and Secondary Evidence--Land Ownership
Where no written record exists revealing ownership of land, the best evidence of such ownership is that which shows who has been using land for past 20 years under claim of right and without objection by other parties.
2. Real Property-Communal Family Land-Policy of Small Tracts for All Matais
Court favors distribution of land equally among matais rather than having large tracts of land owned by individual Samoans.
3. Real Property-Quieting Title-Evidence of Ownership Generally
Where one family has pule over large tract of land for over 100 years, another family using part of the land is not entitled to ownership thereof without open and notorious possession for a period of 20 years or more and without objection of the family in which pule resides.
E.C. JOHNSON, Chief Justice; and MULI, Associate Judge
This case came on to be heard in the High Court to determine the title to the land Lagoe'e, situated in Tualatai [1ASR468] County. This land was first offered for registration by Afoa on September 7, 1932, - an objection being filed. Satele thereto on November 2, 1932, in which he claimed all of the land offered by Afoa.
The former Chief Justice on the hearing of this case February 3rd, 1933 rendered a decision by way of default in Afoa's favor since Satele was not present to contest the case. At the time this case was heard there was certain evidence in the court's file from the medical inspector of the Western District that Satele was sick and therefore unable to be present. The former Chief Justice at that hearing indicated that any time within sixty days after the hearing of the said case and if Satele could show good cause to the Court, he could make his application to reopen the case and be heard upon testimony. It appears that Satele has made timely application for the rehearing of this case, and has paid the Court costs amounting to $25.00 assessed against him at the original hearing of this case, and the said case was reopened and heard September 16, 1933 before the Present Chief Justice.
The Court sat for one full day and heard the testimony of both sides of this case, and then at a subsequent date made a personal inspection of the property involved in the case at issue.
[1] In this particular case, as in so many other cases involving land inAmerican Samoa, there was no written record showing a positive title to either of the parties in question. Therefore it becomes necessary in order to find the best evidence of ownership, to find out who has been using the land in dispute for the past twenty years or more under a claim of right and without objection by other parties.
It appears from the evidence that Afoa is a man more than fifty years of age and that he has held the matai name Afoa for a period of more than twenty years. Evidence [1ASR469] adduced on the part of Afoa would indicate that he himself, together with his family, has had the exclusive use of the land in question ever since he has been the matai - Afoa. Afoa also introduce [sic] evidence tending to show that this land was used by his predecessor without any objection on the part of Satele and his family. Afoa and his witnesses further testified that he built houses on the land Lagoe'e and that copra which has been cut from this plantation had been weighed in the name Afoa and that all surplus copra receipts had been given to him. Afoa and his witnesses stated that they had never seen Satele or members of his family on this land during the last twenty years, although Satele and his family live in the adjoining village Vailoatai, which is quite near Taputimu, and the site of the land in question. Afoa lays claim to the land Lagoe'e, which is a part of the Siumalo tract, and also claims all of the extensive lands known as Siumalo.
To the contrary Satele and his witnesses testified just as strongly that he and members of his family had planted coconuts, taro and bananas on this land as late as 1930, and that they have been making use of the land surveyed by Afoa, or at least portions thereof for many years. Satele and his witnesses testified that they cut copra as late as 1933 on this land and that the copra was weighed in the name of Satele and that the excess copra receipt was turned over to Satele. Satele also testified that Lagoe'e is a part of the Seumalo tract and that the land Seumalo had been owned for more than one hundred years by Satele family. Satele also testified that the name Afoa belonged to the Satele family and that the name Afoa was given to the present Afoa as a matai name of the Satele family. Satele further testified that the materials for his family guest house built a few years ago came entirely from the land Lagoe'e and that Afoa knew that the said materials were [1ASR470] taken from the land Lagoe'e and that he made no objection to the use of the said materials. Satele testified that just outside of the boundaries of the land Lagoe'e, which was surveyed, Satele Taatofa was buried. Afoa admitted that Satele Taatofa's grave is on this land, but contends that this Satele was buried so long ago that this should not be a controlling feature in this case.
A personal inspection of the tract of land in dispute indicates that there are a few small fales, not in constant use, which have been built on this land by Afoa and his family. Inspection would seem to indicate that these fales were built for the purpose of convenience and accommodation of those who were working on the land Lagoe'e.
The Court would have no hesitancy in rendering a decision in favor of Afoa if the evidence was uncontradicted that Afoa and his predecessor had used the land in question for a period of twenty years or more without objection on the part of Satele. The Court does not feel justified in reaching this conclusion, however, because there is ample testimony indicating that this tract of land, Lagoe'e, had been used not only by Afoa in recent years, but has also been used by Satele and his family.
Satele and Afoa are members of a large family. Afoa claims the right as the matua to name Satele. To the contrary Satele claims the right to name Afoa. It is not necessary for the Court to decide this matter, however the mutual obligations of the two families and their rights and interests in the land have become confused during the passage of many years. It is therefore regretted that a settlement of this case could not have been made out of Court. Every opportunity was given the parties concerned to compose their difficulties and settle this matter. However, the parties reported their inability to effect such a settlement and the case was brought to the High Court for a decision. [1ASR471]
[2, 3] The Court does not favor the holding of large tracts of land by individual Samoans, - it is manifestly better for the interests of all the Samoans that land be more or less equally distributed among the respective matais in Samoa. In the present case however, it appears that the Satele family have had the pule of not only the tract Lagoe'e but the more inclusive tract Siumalo, for a period of more than one hundred years. Since there has not been any open and notorious possession on the part of the Afoa family for a period of twenty years or more without objection on the part of the Satele Family, the decision in this case must be in favor of Satele.
The Court is of the further opinion that the land Lagoe'e which has been contested belongs to Satele, but the fruits and products of a portion of that land might rightfully belong to Afoa. Satele has indicated his willingness in the testimony of this case to allow Afoa to receive the fruits and products from certain small plantations on this land, and although the Court cannot make an order directing Satele to do this, however, the Court believes Satele will permit Afoa to continue to use certain portions of this land for the benefit of Afoa and his family.
The decision previously given in this case in favor of Afoa is hereby reversed.
Judgment for Satele holding that the title of the land Lagoe'e is in him as the head of the Satele family. Costs of this case amounting to $50.00 is assessed one half against Satele-$25.00; and one half against Afoa-$25.00.

White Sox finalizing deal with Barnum
High-school first baseman selected with No. 48 pick
By Scott Merkin / MLB.com
That $950,000 is just below the assigned pick value of $1,052,500 for pick No. 48. The left-handed Barnum, who checks in at 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds, will be looked at as a first baseman but possibly could see time in the outfield and was in Arizona on Monday for his physical.
This talented high-school player has drawn comparisons to both Fred McGriff and Ryan Howard. During a conference call last week to talk about Barnum and Courtney Hawkins, the organization's top pick at No. 13 and also a high-school selection, White Sox director of amateur scouting Doug Laumann indicated Barnum's negotiations would be quick.
"I believe so," said Laumann, when asked if he thought Barnum was close to signing. "There's a lot that plays into this, but we've done quite a bit of homework and quite a bit of foundation has been laid."
Barnum verbally committed to Miami and also was recruited by South Florida, Florida International and Central Florida, setting a school record with a .491 average as a junior for King High School in Tampa, Fla.

Westbrook unable to corral A's in series finale
OAKLAND -- The Cardinals hit the halfway mark of the season on Sunday in forgettable fashion. A club that has made its mark with strong starting pitching and timely hitting lacked both, allowing the A's to steal a come-from-behind 7-5 victory and take the three-game series in front of 20,673 at O.co Coliseum.
With the loss, the Cardinals drop their fifth series of the season -- and second against an American League opponent. The Cardinals have won just twice over their past eight games, losing 5 1/2 games of ground against a surging Pirates club during that stretch.Full Game Coverage
OAKLAND -- The Cardinals hit the halfway mark of the season on Sunday in forgettable fashion. A club that has made its mark with strong starting pitching and timely hitting lacked both, allowing the A's to steal a come-from-behind 7-5 victory and take the three-game series in front of 20,673 at O.co Coliseum.
With the loss, the Cardinals drop their fifth series of the season -- and second against an American League opponent. The Cardinals have won just twice over their past eight games, losing 5 1/2 games of ground against a surging Pirates club during that stretch.Full Game Coverage
"There was going to be a point that this moment was going to come," Carlos Beltran said after his three-hit game. "Just right now, we have to deal with it -- continue to come to the ballpark, find a way to turn it back, and it's going to come back. We have a good team, good pitching, a good lineup. It's all about finding the way to put it together again."
The Cardinals' offense staked starter Jake Westbrook to a three-run lead in the first and then pushed it back to three in the third once the A's had cut into the lead. Westbrook gave it back again.
Making his fourth start since coming off the disabled list, Westbrook struggled to command his sinker. He elevated it routinely, which resulted in several hard-hit balls and only three groundouts for a pitcher who has made a career out of collecting them.
"I couldn't get the ball down," Westbrook said. "I just didn't have it. There's really no other explanation than it just wasn't there. It was just a bad game and that's what I'm going to chalk it up to. [I'm going to] work on some things and try to be a little more consistent and get down in the zone a little more."
Three consecutive Oakland hits led to a pair of first-inning runs off Westbrook. He then faced eight batters in the third, holding onto a one-run lead ever so tenuously by getting nine-hole hitter Eric Sogard to fly out with the bases full.
Manager Mike Matheny stuck with his laboring right-hander and the A's capitalized in the fourth. Jed Lowrie's two-run homer gave Oakland the lead. Josh Donaldson's solo shot off Trevor Rosenthal in the seventh padded it.
Westbrook's ERA swelled from 2.21 to 2.95 as he was charged with six runs in four innings, his shortest start of the season.
"Today," Matheny said of his starter, "was a fight."
It's been a fight more often than not as of late for the Cardinals' rotation. Though they still lead the league in wins (43) and ERA (3.18), the starters have not been nearly as dominant over the last month as they were during the first two. That's a large reason why the Cardinals followed a 20-7 May with a 14-14 record in June.
The Cardinals' starters lost more games in June (12) than they did in the first two months combined (10). The group's ERA sat at 4.40 over 28 games during the month -- 5.40 if you take Adam Wainwright's strong month out of the equation. Wainwright threw five of the 11 quality starts in June.
"It's just maybe a stretch where we're just not pitching very well collectively," Westbrook said. "It's a matter of getting back to being more consistent and making pitches in big spots to get out of jams and hold them down."
The subpar starting pitching is why a club that averaged nearly 5 1/2 runs per game and hit .286 as a unit in June finished the month at .500.
"We set a very high bar early on and I hope these guys believe in the bar that they set," Matheny said. "That's what they should shoot for."
The Cardinals' offense was explosive early on Sunday -- homers by Beltran, Allen Craig and Matt Carpenter helped push across five runs in the first three innings -- but quieted as the game progressed. That had a lot to do with Oakland's defense.
In the fourth, Donaldson flipped over the tarp in foul territory to make an inning-ending catch to leave two runners stranded. Three innings later, Carpenter led off with a double only to watch Yadier Molina and Craig be robbed of hits. Second baseman Sogard made a tremendous over-the-shoulder catch to retire Molina. After Beltran popped out, Donaldson made a diving stop on Craig's grounder.
The Cardinals finished 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position.
"We knew going into it that they had a good club over there and it was going to be a battle," Carpenter said. "We said coming into this that it's the best team you've never heard of."
Despite the recent lull, the Cardinals still enter the second half as one of only two National League teams with 49 or more wins. The other -- Pittsburgh -- stands between them and the division lead.
But while the Cards trail the Pirates in the standings, they boast arguably the league's best first-half credentials. Through the first 81 games, the Cardinals rank first in several offensive categories, including runs scored, batting average and on-base percentage. They trail only the Rockies in total hits and OPS.
Despite an unstable bullpen in April and shaky rotation in June, the team still ranks among the top three in team ERA. And the defense -- even after committing two errors on Sunday -- has the league's best fielding percentage.
"I think we've had a pretty darn successful first half," Craig said. "Obviously, we'd like to be in first place but we've won a lot of games, and I feel like we've been pretty balanced with the offense, the defense and the pitching we've had. With this team, there is always room for improvement and we're going to shoot to be the best team out there. We have 81 games left to prove that."

WEST OCEAN CITY – The owners of two West Ocean City restaurants raided by U.S. Immigration officials last October, who later pleaded guilty to hiring and harboring illegal aliens and evading employment taxes were each placed on probation for 18 months and fined $50,000 last week in U.S. District Court, but their biggest penalty could be the forfeiture of a property assessed at over $2 million.
Bo Hao Zhu, 33, and his wife Siu Ping Cheng, 30, both of Ocean City, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in July to hiring and harboring illegal aliens at their two restaurants in West Ocean City, the Mikayo Sushi and Seafood Buffet in the old Ocean City Marlin Club building on Route 50, and the Panda China Buffet in the White Marlin Mall, over a two-year period from 2005 to 2007. The couple and their corporation, Zhu and Partners LLC, also pleaded guilty at the time to federal employment tax evasion in an amount just under $7,000 for failing to report income paid in cash to illegal aliens they employed.
As majority owners of the corporation, Zhu and Cheng faced a maximum of 10 years in prison and a fine of $250,000, but U.S. District Court Judge Andre M. Davis last Friday sentenced the pair to 18 months probation. The judge also fined the corporation $50,000 for harboring aliens and inducing illegal aliens to reside in the U.S. Perhaps the biggest blow for Zhu and Cheng, however, was the judge's order for them to forfeit their interests in the property on Route 50 just west of the Harry Kelley Bridge they purchased from the Ocean City Marlin Club in 2004 for $2.3 million.
The agreed-upon statement of facts in the case reveal a long pattern of hiring and employing illegal aliens at the two West Ocean City restaurants and housing them in various locations owned or rented by the couple in and around the resort area. Things started to unravel for Zhu and Cheng in February 2005 when a Bank of Ocean City employee observed Cheng depositing a large amount of cash into the Panda Buffet's payroll account.
That same month, federal Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents observed several individuals known to be illegal immigrants going to and from Panda Buffet in a vehicle registered to Zhu. In June 2006, a Maryland State Police trooper observed 11 occupants inside Zhu and Cheng's condominium and, after obtaining consent to enter, asked each individual for his identification. A review of their immigration records revealed six of the 11 occupants were in the country illegally and working at Panda Buffet.
In June 2007, law enforcement officials interviewed the employees of Mikayo and Panda in an effort to sort out who was working where and who, if any, were in the country illegally. Of the eight employees working in the restaurants at the time, four, or half, were illegal aliens. It was established Zhu and Cheng had knowingly hired them despite of their status and paid them in cash for less wages than required by law.
Finally, in October 2007, ICE agents armed with federal search warrants raided the two businesses and a residence on Godspeed Ave. in the Oyster Harbor community in West Ocean City. ICE officials were assisted in the raids by local law enforcement agencies. Six arrests were made during the operation including individuals from Mexico and the People's Republic of China. The six arrestees were transported to the ICE regional office in Baltimore and remained in custody until arrangements could be made to deport them to their countries.
Following the raids, the doors of both restaurants were chained shut and temporary closed signs were posted on them. The Mikayo Sushi and Seafood Buffet re-opened briefly as a different restaurant this spring, but had closed its doors for good by mid-summer. With the sentencing hearing last Friday, Zhu and Cheng and their corporation were forced to forfeit the property valued at over $2 million.
The property is set to be auctioned on site next Tuesday at 1 p.m. Tranzon, a national broker and auctioneer is handling the auction of the property and the building, which was first built in 1989. The building, which was home to the Ocean City Marlin Club for a decade before the club sold it to Zhu and Partners LLC in 2004, is roughly 8,000 square feet, while the entire parcel measures just under 34,000 square feet. Perhaps most importantly, the property is equipped with 18 equivalent dwelling units.
It remains to be seen what the commercial property will draw at auction. According to state tax records, the assessed value of the property as of July 2008 was $1.98 million.

Chronicle Forced To Issue Retraction
On 9/11 Hit Piece
Yesterday's San Francisco Chronicle 9/11 hit piece by Cinnamon Stillwell has encountered massive backlash from the alternative truth community after it cynically dismissed legitimate concerns about 9/11 and labeled anyone who voiced them as anti-semitic extremists.
In a new development this morning, the paper was forced to issue a retraction following Cinnamon Stillwell's outright falsehood that the "whole country witnessed the horrific sight of planes flying into the....Pentagon," a glaring error first highlighted by this website on Wednesday morning.
The statement reads,
"Cinnamon Stillwell's column Wednesday on SFGate originally stated that images of the plane that struck the Pentagon had been seen by the American public. No such images have been made public."
Chalk up another victory for the 9/11 Truth Movement! If Stillwell can't even get this right, what other piles of steaming horse manure has her shoddy research led her into?
After this website first issued a rebuttal to the piece yesterday morning several other noted cyber patriots have followed suit.
Mike Rivero of WhatReallyHappened.com, one of the websites cited in the original hit piece, encouraged readers to e mail Stillwell and issued a three point challenge based on smoking guns of which Stillwell carefully avoided discussion in her smear attack.
"In her article dissing blogs that question the official story of 9-11, Ms. Stillwell obviously picked examples from the blogs that she found most easy to dismiss and ridicule. Equally obviously she stayed away from any facts that really do call into question the official story of 9-11," wrote Rivero.
"How did the United States Secret Service Protective Detail, know they did not need to immediately move the President? How did they know they did not need to toss him into his bomb-proof limo and start driving in any direction to foil a possible inbound?"
"How did the United States Secret Service Protective Detail know that by leaving the President where he was, they were not making targets of all those students and teachers?"
"How did the United States Secret Service Protective Detail KNOW FOR A FACT THAT PRESIDENT BUSH WAS NOT A TARGET THAT DAY?"
Prolific blogger Kurt Nimmo said the piece was the most ignorant and slanted he had ever read and said it was akin to "crib notes to the nine eleven whitewash commission version."
Nimmo responded to Stillwell's claim that the government would never harm its own people to further an agenda by citing the anniversary of the Waco siege, in which 74 men women and children were massacred at the behest of Bill Clinton and Janet Reno.
"It is said Koresh burned his own family and followers to death and the FBI had nothing to do with it. And yet the FBI admits firing "potentially flammable devices" into the Davidian "compound," actually parish living quarters and a church (called Mount Carmel Center). CNN reported this. PBS Frontline reported the fact the BATF fired the first shots at Waco and that Janet Reno, AG under the "liberal" Bill Clinton, gave the order to use CS gas against the men, women, and children at Mount Carmel. The use of CS gas is illegal under the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention (enacted the same year as the Waco massacre)," wrote Nimmo.
In addition, Nimmo took apart Stillwell's contention that cell phone recordings from the passengers somehow prove the government is telling the truth about the entire day's events.
"Once again, if you bothered to do any research instead of simply parroting official lies, Ms. Stillwell, you would discover that, in 2001, it was all but impossible to make cell phone calls from an airliner clipping along at 500 miles per hour above 25,000 feet. According to Alexa Graf, a spokesman of AT&T, "it was almost a fluke that the [9/11] calls reached their destinations… From high altitudes, the call quality is not very good, and most callers will experience drops," and yet the 911 Commission points to the clarity and detail of these telephone conversations. How is that possible, Ms. Stillwell? It seems you will believe any nonsense the government hands out," said Nimmo.
After visiting Stillwell's website, it becomes apparent that she was a former liberal who suddenly switched sides and became a "conservative" after September 11. Before 9/11 she was writing articles about "lifestyle pieces," which probably translates as dieting and home decor.
In reality Stillwell is a Neo-Lib, someone who has fused the lefty zeal for big government and control domestically with the hijacked right's creed of the expansionist empire. This is why she is in a love fest with the Bush administration and pledged her undying allegiance to the Fuehrer in the moments after planes started crashing into buildings.
Stillwell is a victim of the "post-9/11 mentality," a form of cognitive illness whereby the sufferer abandons any compass of common sense and devotes their vocal chords and keyboard to demanding more people in the Middle East get bombed and more liberties perish at home.
Stillwell (pictured below) is a shining example of why a corrupt government would carry out terror on its own people. As soon as the towers crumbled, she changed her entire thought process and handed over her unquestioning loyalty to whomever offered protection. She is the answer to her own question about why a government would kill to further its own agenda.
She runs a Yahoo Newsgroup called the 9/11 Neocons that boasts a massive 74 members (compared to 6798 members at the Infowars Newsgroup). The group is described as "a place for former lefties mugged by reality on September 11," which is strange because Stillwell's reality world is a place where "the whole country" saw a plane fly into the Pentagon.
That world cannot be anywhere else than cloud cuckoo land because a video tape of a plane flying into the Pentagon has never been publicly released.
We were told a plane flew into the Pentagon and that is the essence of Stillwell's reality - it is a place were reality is defined as whatever the government tells us is true.
If Stillwell had been around in the 17th century would she have also persecuted Galileo for saying the Earth revolved around the Sun? After all, the authorities said the Earth was the center of the universe.
The authorities said Al-Qaeda were responsible for 9/11, doesn't that make it true?
In Stillwell's world evidence is secondary to official proclamation and in defending the orthodoxy she seeks to protect her precious perch on the Neo-Lib, Neo-Con peanut gallery.

|24 Peaks in 24 Hours
Date Climbed: Apr 27, 2013
|Loved the day! Headed up with the intention of hitting the two Dobbs, the two Charltons, Jepson, and San Gorgonio. It was a busy day up top. Perfect weather. Truly, top-o-the-world.
I'll be doing a 24-peak solo hike in a few weeks. Some of the "peaks" are big, like San Gorgonio, some are small, like Alto Diablo. The route is 40 miles, circular (starting in Mill Creek Valley), and I plan to do it in a day. My inspiration comes from all the folks who've done the 9-peak traverse, Ze's 11-peak loop, Rick Kent's 17-peaker, and mostly Evan Welsh's 18-peak double ridgeline route. It's doubling as a fundraiser for The Wildlands Conservancy (Galena Peak, Wilshire Peak, Bear Paw Preserve, etc).

|San Gorgonio from South Fork Trailhead
Date Climbed: Apr 20, 2013
|I just came from a dayhike to San Gorgonio Mt from the South Fork. My friend and me went through Dollar lake and returned through Dry lake.
We started the trail at 7AM and quickly got to the Dollar Lake/Dry Lake sign, where we decided to go to the Dollar lake for easier ascent.
On the way up, we met a group of guys who had totally no map and had no idea which way to go on each of trail interseptions. But those were nice guys and we helped them to the best of our ability. Near the top a single lady (really in a good shape but probably no experience in the woods) shouted a question to us, "how come you guys are on a trail and I'm not" (duh, because we have a map and take our time to look at it), then she was asking each and every guy returning from the peak where to go, then when she lost a trail (right where the peak was already in direct view), she came to us again asking where to go and then a minute later she told me that I walk too slow and two minutes later that we're going in the wrong direction... At that moment I just begged that lady to hike her own hike and said good bye to her. We sat at the "wrong" peak for 5 minutes and get to the "right" peak a few minutes later where the same lady "organized" other hikers into group shots with her (thankfully, she preferred not to notice us).
We left half an hour later after signing the register and having a second luncheon of a healthy fat-loaded salami, chocolate, gorp and water. We decided to stick to our plans and went towards the Dry lake. The east slope and all those switchbacks from the top to Maniker Flat saddle (about 4 miles) were covered with melted snow crust waist deep at places. We had to tread very carefully, the trail was all but invisible and we (me mostly) done a lot of postholing and bottom-gliding. I also must tell, that I forgot to wear my winter boots and was walking in open-toed sandals... At least I was wearing merino wool socks with nylon liners... I must admit that without my hiking partner who was in much better physical shape than me, I would probably not make it through. I would either turn back, or try to get below the snow line... I don't know... It is difficult to tell now, but I had thoughts to stop looking for the trail and just "get out into the civilization anyhow" and if need be to make a camp for the night and continue another day.
But finally we got out of snow field still in the daylight and by 8PM we got to Dry lake. Then it became real dark, so we took a break, got our lights out, finished our last food and water and pressed on. 10 miles later hiked in the night, we got to the trailhead at about 11PM.
We completed the trail in 16 hours and it was a challenge and a big adventure!

A&P here with both aircraft and motorcycle experience.
There is a pretty significant difference in use for the average aircraft owner and motorcycle owner. The plane can and often does sit idle, outside or in a shadeport for some time. It is not uncommon for the plane to be idle for weeks after being flown. The engines are also built to much looser standards than even the old airheads were. That's because of the materials used and the expected expansion they get when they get warmed up. They are also built using 1940's through 1950's tech. Open breather tubes into the crankcase are a good example. They will have a simple breather tube that has no valve in it so air can and does move into the engine. If you are in a severe climate area like say Florida and the bird is stored outside, then you might want to insure that you do what you can to prevent corrosion.
On the other hand, aircraft engines rarely have bottom end problems. The rings and valves are more trouble prone. Aircraft oil already has a good percentage of additives, enough so that when breaking in an engine, either new or from overhaul, it is recommended that you use straight mineral oil made without wear additives for the first 25 to 50 hours of active engine operation, to help the rings seat. Once that is done then use regular oil. This helps prevent the cylinders from getting glazed where the rings never fully seal and the engine uses an excessive amount of oil.
In regards to motorcycle engines, even for those who store the bike, the additive may have some benefit. If you use the bike regularly in the riding season there is no need for the stuff. When you put the bike to bed for the winter, warm it up then change the oil and filter. Put the additive in and ride the bike a few miles well into normal temperatures (say 20 or so miles) then put it away. Don't forget the gas treatment unless you drain the tank and fuel system.
Frankly I wouldn't use anything like this stuff for normal motorcycle operation. If you drive it regularly, the insides are not going to lose the coating of oil and have a corrosion problem. "Pickling" the engine for storage it's not a bad idea and spending 12 bucks a year is not that expensive. Then again you could also do like the military did back in the recip days and pull the plugs, squirting a bit of oil into each cylinder then rotate the prop manually a few turns to spread it around then replace the plugs.

BART has said its "Fleet of the Future" program would be assembled within the U.S., with at least 66% of its contents "made in America." Bombardier's bid met those requirements while being 12% lower than any other bidder, as well as landing the highest technical rating.
All 410 cars would be in revenue service by 2020.
Protesting the decision as a "lost opportunity," the AFL-CIO's Transportation Trades Department issued a statement Thursday arguing that rival manufacturer Alstom was the better choice overlooked by BART's Board. Edward Wytkind, president of the TTD, said, BART's move would "send $4 out of every $10 in federal taxpayer revenue overseas."
"The losing bidder, Alstom Transportation, would have delivered rail cars with 95% domestic content," Wytkind claims.
Bombardier Transportation's corporate parent, Bombardier, Inc., is based in Montreal. Alstom's headquarters are in Levallois-Perret, just outside of Paris. Both companies have extensive experience in U.S. passenger rail markets.
Bombardier last March also beat out its rivals, including an Alstom/Kawasaki consortium, in landing an order from New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority for 300 R179 subway cars, worth just under $600 million.
BART's website says the agency's cars are the oldest operating in revenue passenger service, with 439 of the cars built by Rohr Industries between 1968 and 1971. PATCO rail service linking Philadelphia and the city's New Jersey suburbs, however, also is protected by vintage equipment, much of it also placed in service as early as 1968, manufactured by the Budd Co.

The weather hasn't been great here the last few days and so when today dawned with a bit of sun we decided to head on down the highway to visit the Tulum ruins and beach. I had thought that the collective taxis stopped on the main boulevard beneath the highway next to the Chedraui grocery store and so we stood there on the side of the road. But, no, several of them blew right past us as we were frantically waving them down. Shit! I asked a woman sitting at the bus stop where to catch them and, after asking another couple of people as we walked, we eventually found the collectivo station downtown near the bus station. We got the last two seats in our van and were off down the highway for an hour long ride to the Tulum archeological site.
Although we had expected to pay more, the entrance fee was only 57 pesos each and the day, overcast but clearing, was perfect for touring the ruins. Tulum is situated right on oceanfront cliffs, obviously the prime real estate of the post classical Mayan world. It is very much a manicured area and none of the buildings are climbable – too bad because the view from El Castillo out over the sea would be wonderful.
The city of Tulum was at its height during the 13th-15th centuries, and is thus one of the later Mayan outposts. When the Spanish arrived in the early 16th century it was still inhabited. Tulum was an important trading post for the Post classic Mayans, having a beach where merchants could come ashore with their canoes. The highest building, El Castillo, was also a lighthouse to make navigation easier: when two torches aligned, these showed voyagers the way through the reef.
During the Post classic period, the Maya started to use large seagoing canoes and made trading voyages ranging from trips to the Gulf of Mexico, the coast of the Yucatán peninsula, and all the way to what is today Honduras. There is even evidence that they went as far as Costa Rica and Panama. Standing on the cliff here, gazing out to sea, I could imagine a fleet of fifty foot hardwood canoes cruising into the bay below.
In 1518, an expedition lead by the Spaniard Juan de Grijalva sailed past Tulum. The captain and crew were amazed by the sight of this walled city, with its buildings painted red, blue and white and a fire atop the main temple. Some 75 years after the conquest, Tulum was abandoned, but was still visited over the years by Mayan pilgrims. During the War of the Castes, Indian refugees took shelter here from time to time. (See more at http://www.playa.info/playa-del-carmen-info-mayan-ruins-of-tulum.html)
When we had been in Tulum last about 5 years ago, it was very crowded; today, luckily, while there were a number of people, it was not completely packed out.
One of the most delightful features of the ruin site is that it is home to many, many iguanas, all of whom are very tame. Ty discovered an apple in his backpack and proceeded to feed three of the beasts who came racing over when he took the fruit out of his bag.
Another fellow was taking a sandwich out of his pack when a huge lizard jumped onto it, climbed over the pack, and started up his body before receiving the piece of sandwich he desired!
After our visit, we grabbed a collectivo and taxi to Tulum Playa, the two kilometer long beach just north of the town. Here the sand is blindingly white and the water an incredible shade of light cerulean blue.
We had lunch at Playa Paraiso and spent a few hours on the beach before heading back on the collectivo to Playa del Carmen. Tulum Playa has a very different vibe than Playa del Carmen; it's north of the town proper and accessed by a road that runs along a coastline of low sand dunes.
Tulum beach is more like a warm weather version of Vancouver Island's west coast beaches (although with more in the way of services like restaurants, bars, sun beds, boat trips, etc). And the beach hotels seem to be much more modest in scale (although probably not in price) here than the vast gated communities along the coast between Playa and Tulum pueblo.

Happy New Year, everyone!
Happy New Year, everyone!
I can remember when I was but a wee lad and any year that started with a "2" sounded like it would be impossibly far into the future. But, as of today, we have exhausted a full 12 percent of those "20" years. How the time does fly! Seems like one day you're a young, spry lad or lass and the following year you wake up an old man or woman!
I gave up on the idea of making New Year's resolutions years ago. It seems the only one I could ever keep was my resolution to never paint the sidewalks purple with pink polka dots. I always found that one pretty easy to comply with, but the more practical ones like losing weight, getting more exercise and not watching so many television programs were much more difficult.
I have recently begun to make some modest progress toward the weight-loss thing and, perhaps, even the exercise one as well. The TV viewing began to fall by the wayside all by itself mostly due to the ineptitude of TV programmers to bring quality programming to the one-eyed monster in our living rooms.
Television has way too many so-called reality shows, which are anything but reality (at least in the world I live in); excessive commercials, so many as a matter of fact, that at times I have sat there in the midst of such an onslaught of video advertising I have actually forgotten which TV show I was watching at the time.
A few episodes like that sort of soured me on shows other than news, but now I even seem to be losing quite a bit of patience with them as well, especially when they go into saturation coverage mode.
"Please," Dearly Beloved has heard me exclaim more times than she would like to remember, "tell me that something else happened in the world today ... other than (and you can insert your own wording here)!"
You'd think these people would have some sense of knowing when they've beaten a story to death.
Perhaps I shouldn't pick on TV folks so much, but when you watch — for the hundredth time — some guy in a rain-suit with a microphone standing out in the midst of a swirling hurricane and fighting to stay upright in the raging winds and the pounding rain as lightning crackles all around him, telling you to "stay inside because it's really nasty outside," you start to wonder if the TV guy truly appreciates the irony of showing thousands of viewers that he's apparently not bright enough to follow his own advice.
But, I keep telling myself, perhaps this new year of 2013 will be different! Yeah, right.
MEXICAN FOOD: Dunnellon's Bill and Nancy Metz wrote: "On Friday night, Dec. 14, we went to the Mi Tierra Caliente restaurant over on 484. We agree, the Mexican food is delicious. Better yet, we didn't pay for our meal as our nephew and his wife paid for it. But we did tell them Emory sent us. A word to the owners — the food could be a little bit spicier. But, it was still good. Thanks for listening to us!"
Bill and Nancy, not everyone likes their meals real spicy. But you can always add your own peppers, tabasco sauce, or whatever on top to suit your individual tastes, y'know.
'FREE' ALARM SYSTEM: Ocala's Gerald L. Bales sent along a piece that's been floating around the Internet for a while now. As we start the new year, it might be advantageous for us to keep its advice in mind. It essentially says you can keep your car keys beside your bed at night so you can use the panic button on your remote entry key as an impromptu alarm if someone tries to break into your home. When you wake up the entire neighborhood and porch lights start flipping on all up and down the street, most burglars would probably decide to abandon the attempt to break into your house.
That, and a quick call to 911 should do the trick.
Seems like "sound" advice to me. Not too sure if the neighbors would appreciate it though!

Louisiana-Pacific, one of the industry's largest producers of oriented strand board (OSB) and other wood products, reported a second-quarter net loss of $81 million, compared to a net loss of $23 million in the second quarter of 2007.
Sales were $387 million for the second quarter, down 16 percent from $461.2 million in the year-ago period.
For the first six months, LP has recorded a loss of $127 million, wider than the $60.6 million loss during the first half of 2007.
The company took "significant curtailments in the quarter to match supply with orders," said CEO Rick Frost in a prepared statement. "These shutdowns, coupled with significantly higher material costs, put downward pressure on our margins."
Other non-operating costs listed for this past quarter included a loss of $5.3 million associated with a facility explosion and a loss of $1.2 million connected to a contractor who defaulted on a construction project.
Frost also noted a $48 million charge related to the settlement in an OSB antitrust lawsuit. Nashville-based LP is the fifth company to come to a settlement in the antitrust case, filed in 2006, which alleges that OSB manufacturers began conspiring together in 2002 to artificially reduce the supply and inflate prices of OSB.
Four other defendants have reached settlements so far: Potlatch, Huber Engineered Woods, Ainsworth and Georgia-Pacific.
All the companies have denied the accusations as part of their settlements, including LP, which wrote in a statement that it came to the settlements "in order to limit the risks and costs associated with at least two lengthy jury trials."
"LP has vigorously contested the plaintiffs' allegations and vehemently denies that it violated any U.S. antitrust law or any other law," the company said in a statement.

Especially if you're a woman. Don't do what you're supposed to, hubby kills you, just like that.
As an openly gay man in our blessed United States, I can only complain about not being able to get married. In a Muslim state I would have to hide, or be killed. I'm lucky.
Plus, due to all the sexual repression, many Islamic fundamentalist men like to molest little boys. They're far worse than Catholic Priests. Poor kids.

By Allan Muir
Some thoughts on Monday's matinee in Boston:
• It was a sloppy, hard-hitting, entertaining game, with the Bruins winning 2-1 in the shootout. Chris Thorburn opened the scoring for the Jets in the first before Brad Marchand evened it up, deflecting home a sensational pass from Tyler Seguin. Patrice Bergeron earned the extra point in the skills competition.
• Winnipeg did a nice job of hanging around all afternoon, and getting a point on the road against a Cup contender is a big deal for a team that struggled last season away from the MTS Centre. The Jets showed lots of compete, but didn't create chances -- either quality or quantity -- the way the Bruins did. Winnipeg managed just one shot while going 0-for-4 on the power play, including a pair of opportunities in OT. No excuses for that.
• Both teams are likely to talk about how bad bounces and a lack of puck luck cost them, but a lot of that comes down to rust. Take Brad Marchand. Outside of his goal, he made about half-a-dozen great half-plays. He'd create something with his hustle or an active stick, but then would lose the puck or fail to make an effective pass . That's the way it went on both sides.
• Nobody's more important to Winnipeg's playoff hopes than Ondrej Pavelec, and that's not a thought that shuffles Jets fans comfortably off to sleep every night. He looked like a post-tramautic Denis Lemieux in the first, flopping and fumbling in reaction to shots that should have been easily handled, but settled in as the game wore on. He had no chance on the Marchand goal, and made a couple of big stops late, turning away a Seguin blast during a late-third penalty kill and a Bergeron shorthanded chance early in OT. Inconsistency didn't cost him today, but it's plagued him in the past. It's something he needs to get a handle on for this team to get in the mix. Mixing in a shootout save every now and then wouldn't hurt, either.
• Tuukka Rask: two games, two goals-against and not a single mention of Tim Thomas to be heard. His big moment was was a scintillating glove save to rob Kyle Wellwood on a first period breakaway that kept the deficit at one. After that, it was a business-like performance that ended with a pair of stops in the shootout. He'll never match Thomas for charisma or entertainment value, but he can carry this team deep into the postseason.
• Solid point by Boston's broadcast crew: The 2011-12 B's lacked the voracious net drive that characterized the 2010-11 champs. They've been a lot more courageous through the first two games, routinely going up the gut and into the paint. They look like a hungry team.
• Looks like Bergeron's game is rubbing off on Seguin. He made a couple of great defensive reads today, including one where he stripped the puck off Andrew Ladd at the Winnipeg blue line that led directly to Boston's goal. That pre-lockout deal that Seguin signed is going to look like a steal when next season rolls around.
• If Mark Scheifele wants to stick with Winnipeg past his fifth game, he needs to do more than simply not screw up. Not that he looked overmatched today, but he just doesn't register when you aren't specifically looking for him. When you do notice him, he's usually on the ice after being knocked off the puck. His inability to outwork Adam McQuaid down low nullified a promising cycle in the final minute of OT. No arguing the potential, but the kid needs time to build up his strength.
• No such worries for Dougie Hamilton. Sure, he needs to build strength too, but he does so many other things at an NHL level that the B's will let him find his way at this level. Great feet, great shot, good reads and plenty physical.Ron Hainsey Mark Stuart Evander Kane

Flaw detection is perhaps the most fundamental machine vision task. Vital to quality control, machine vision allows manufacturers to find contamination, scratches, cracks, blemishes, discoloration, gaps, pits, etc., and is used extensively across a wide range of industries from semiconductors to pharmaceuticals and automotive manufacturing. Machine vision detects defects invisible to the human eye, far faster and more accurately than humanly possible, and can operate 24/7.
Flaws in product or the manufacturing process itself are usually random, so machine vision flaw detection algorithms look for pattern changes, changes in color or texture, or for a particular type of connected structure.
Teledyne DALSA's high resolution, high senstitivity image sensors and cameras capture high quality images, and further down the imaging chain, our powerful frame grabber/vision processor hardware and advanced vision software tools segment defects from the background and allow quality control system to take action. Our combination of throughput, resolution, dynamic range, and advanced features sets us apart from competitors and provides competitive advantage for our customers, both in imaging components for OEMs and in factory-floor-ready end user solutions.

Good progress has been made at a Rotherham primary school which had been found wanting during its previous inspection.
Staff at Swinton Queen Primary had tackled the problem areas identified at the last check-up and teaching quality was now consistently good, inspectors found.
The school's youngest children received outstanding care and education, getting them off to a very good start.
Standards were rising throughout the school and the children were making good overall progress from lower than expected starting points.
The pupils enjoyed their lessons and their attitudes to learning were exemplary, with good behaviour all round the premises.
Senior staff and governors were checking the pupils' work more carefully and that had brought about good improvement in key areas.
Work still needed to be done, the inspectors said, because achievement in reading and writing, particularly for the most able children, was not as good as it could be.

I upped the leader to 20lbs and the 3rd time was the charm. Line started to scream and I knew he had something big. Helped him a little after Mr. Pink wrapped him up around some fan corals, but we were lucky enough to get him up boat side before the leader could break.

So at the end of the day we all agree that Bargs is a good dude but needs to be surrounded with WAY better talent before championships can be chased, right?
So now the question is, should BC go ahead with his "hit the ground running" plan (big Val + draft pick + vets) and aim for the playoffs or should we roll with what we have and keep building the youth core?
Watching teams like the Nuggets and Utah in the playoffs make me think maybe we should keep going youth. Those teams are going to be ELITE in a couple years when their young guys develop. I know it'll drive Casey insane but it seems the natural way to build a contender. Just ask the thunder. I'm sure if you asked Durant how he felt the first few years he was in the league he'd just laugh, but wouldn't hesitate to tell you he appreciates the route now.

Pouty-lipped songstress, Lana Del Rey, recently titillated British audiences with a performance and radio interview on BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge.
Del Rey, who has allegedly been hanging out with provocative frontmen like Marilyn Manson and Axl Rose, channeled her inner Britpop rock star by performing a sexy rendition "Goodbye Kiss" by Coachella-performing band, Kasabian.
In an interview with KROQ, Lana Del Rey said that the British and European cultures treat her much differently.
"Europe is completely different than America," said the singer. "You can have a whole different life there-which I do around the world. I mean, when I go to Paris and Milan and when I'm in London, you know, I live a really different life."
So, why did Lana Del Rey decide to cover Kasabian on BBC Radio 1?
"I really loved it when they covered 'Video Games'," explained Del Rey. "I thought that was great. All of my boyfriends had loved Kasabian and I'd never listened to them. I started and I really like this song. I love this song and I love the melody, I love the way the boys sing it."

Helping hands for Sandy's victims
Starting on Thursday, Nov. 8 and ending Saturday, Nov. 10, Orvis, with the help of Burr and Burton Academy students, collected items to ship to New Jersey and New York to help people in need. Items included everything from non-perishable foods to blankets and winter jackets.
"It's a community effort. We are getting a great response from all the local community bringing clothing, blankets, toiletries, pet products, toys, tools, batteries, and non-perishable food," said Don Benasich, the senior manager for outlets and events at Orvis.
Burr and Burton Academy got involved when they were contacted by Benasich to see if students could provide the assistance needed to get this project running efficiently.
Lani Lovisa, director of student life and service at BBA, kept in contact with Benasich throughout the project and was happy that students wanted to get involved. Teachers sent their classes down during class time to help organize items that were dropped off by local citizens. Students also volunteered their time after school to help the cause.
"I think why so many kids helped so quickly this time was because it was something they could really relate to only a year removed from Hurricane Irene," said Lovisa. "Irene helped build our community in lots of ways as disasters often do and I think once that has happened to a community it is that much easier to give."
BBA has experience in previous disasters such as the Haiti earthquake and Hurricane Katrina by providing homes for kids in need and sending students down to help rebuilding efforts. These experiences have helped shape how they react when other communities are in need, Lovisa said. "It's all about building strong communities and helping those in need," she added.
The drive filled five tractor trailers as well as parts of a Greyhound bus sponsored by the Rotary Club and a Heartworks U-Haul truck. Three of the trucks went to Sea Bright, N.J., one truck went to New York City, and another to Brooklyn, N.Y. More than 200 BBA students and 100 Orvis employees packed 2,360 boxes of clothes, blankets, food, personal care items, cleaning supplies, and tools for the storm-ravaged communities of New York and New Jersey.
Help came to Orvis and Burr and Burton Academy in this effort from local businesses in the area. Brown's Excavation Inc. provided a forklift with Dydo Construction donating the time to run it. Rain or Shine provided the tents, Schultz Corp., the contractors at the Roundabout loaned lights. Casella donated trash bins and a dumpster. Flying Cow created a banner for Route 7 while Lake Gaston Signs made a 40 foot banner and sandwich boards. Dorr Oil provided a storage trailer, and Christo's and Wood Fired Pizza provided lunch for all the volunteers each day.
The items were collected and sent by truckload to Sea Bright on Monday where they will be delivered to the National Guard who will then bring the items to the Sea Bright fire station. Sea Bright is nearly inaccessible since the storm and for safety reasons the National Guard will handle all items being donated.
Sea Bright is a small borough with a population of 1,412 (according to the 2010 United States Census) and is located just southeast of New York City and is the eastern most point of New Jersey.
Along with sending supplies, Burr and Burton Academy's film department are seizing this project as a teachable moment. A group of BBA students have already begun work on a documentary. Bill Muench and Jim Raposa will bring the students down to New Jersey to meet with Sea Bright Councilman Reed Murphy and tour the disaster area with members of the National Guard. After its completion, the documentary will be screened locally, they said.
