Bulletin HASKINS & SELLS 35 Our Friend, The Book By ANNA BURNS, Librarian, Executive Offices A F T E R the long sleep of winter, the season of nature's awakening is at hand. Like a hibernating animal, the city dweller comes out of the steam-heated house that has sheltered him during the winter months, and fills his lungs with fresh air. Everyone rejoices in the spring. The outlying country is an allurement not to be resisted, and the end of every week sees thousands streaming out of the city for the refreshment and vitalizing breath of the open fields. Here one finds awakening life everywhere. The piping of frogs, the songs of birds, the unfolding of myriads of tiny leaves, are evidences of the new activity spreading over the world. The fields, under the hand of the farmer, lie richly brown in the sunshine, ready to yield the fruits of the earth. But no matter how rich and full of promise the soil may be, it cannot yield its fruit without cultivation. Left to itself the earth becomes fallow or rank. These thoughts steal upon the mind rather idly, it must be confessed, as the landscape glides rapidly past a car window. And the analogy that we like to feel is ever-present between nature and man immediately suggests itself. For a man's mind, if it is to be productive, must also have cultivation. His faculties must be used and developed during his childhood and youth. His memory must be trained. His intelligence becomes more keen, his taste more discriminating. His will is strengthened by contact with the actualities of existence. His character affirms itself more and more under the influence of his environment and the problems he is called upon to face. None of this gradual development of the personality is possible without care, nurture, instruction on the part of others, and effort. The mere act of living may be made a part of the process of cultivation. In fact there is no part or parcel of our life and work that cannot be made a contributing factor. In a more obvious and tangible sense, however, the greatest instrument for cultivation ready to our hand is the book. Books are truly all things to all men. The definition found in the dictionary—"a number of sheets of paper bound or stitched together"—falls so far short of the vital, energizing thing that a book may be that its literalness almost provokes a smile. Books minister to needs so diverse—practical, sentimental, recreative, or inspirational— that it would be futile to attempt to consider them in bulk, as it were. Each book is an individual. There are books as impersonal as the dictionary itself; books for our work and business hours, as well as for our leisure; books which comfort us when we are ill or sorrowful, or even those which put us to sleep—a quite worthy function, be it observed in passing. It has been remarked by some over-conscientious reader that it is an insult to read while eating—whether the insult is to the book or the food was not made clear. The man whose daily habit it is to take his newspaper with his morning coffee knows that the thing can be done without hard feeling. Our serious concern, however, is with the book as an instrument of cultivation. Though reading, to be productive, should have a serious purpose, it does not necessarily follow that it must be heavy or dull. On the contrary, it is one of life's delights, and like air and water, those other indis-pensables, lies within the reach of all.

White Island has been spewing mud and rock several tens of metres into the air in the past few days, as GNS Science warns of a greater risk to visitors.
Scientists monitoring the island volcano in the Bay of Plenty say the crater lake is drying out and the frequent bursts of mud, steam and gas were still vigorous.
The continuous volcanic tremor at White Island had also changed to a pattern of intermittent tremor.
"During the last few days, the bursts have thrown mud and rock several tens of metres out from the lake area. Steam and gas clouds above the volcano are often visible from the Bay of Plenty coastline," GNS Science.
Past monitoring showed that weak ash eruptions had often followed the drying out of the lake.
"More vigorous explosions of mud, rock and perhaps molten sulphur are possible in future with little or no warning."
The amount of volcanic gases measured last week were similar to those measured in December and did not suggest a large eruption was imminent.
However, White Island was still at an elevated state of unrest.
The current episode of activity on New Zealand's most active volcano began in August last year, with explosions and ash emissions, followed by the appearance of a small lava dome in November.
The volcanic alert level remained at one and the aviation colour code remained at orange.
White Island Tours spokesman Patrick O'Sullivan said tours to the island were still operating.
"We have still ben operating this whole time, it hasn't really affected us as yet. We just are taking extra precautions when we're out there," he said.
An extra guide would scout ahead of the tourist party, and they would only stay near the crater area, where most of the thermal activity was, for a maximum of five minutes.
Mr O'Sullivan said tourists who visited the island were excited by the activity, and it was hard to move them on from the main crater area.

So, if anyone's still living in geektown with me, I have more theories.Horcruxes:1. Almost all of them are inside Sirius' (now Harry's) house. In Order, they actually find a lockette that they can't open and one of the items being stolen from the house in Halfblood Prince is a silver cup.2. Harry is the last Horcrux.
Obviously what you are doing right now is called (in my upcoming book of psychology at least) validation. I think it's a normal thing to do. People will reply, say anything, and then you're gonna do what you were subconsciently thinking of doing all along.
How can a horcrux be a person?
I think that the last Horcrux may be someone close to Harry, but not Harry himself. Ginny, anyone?
And I still think that there's something up with Neville.
what're your thoughts on the new minister of magic?
Quote from: hacksparrowAnd I still think that there's something up with Neville.Definitely.How effed up would it be if the prophecy WAS referring to him instead of Harry and he's like got a scar on his ass or something?Does anyone else get the feeling that Snape was in love with Lilly?

Watch Kyle Szatrowski's walk-off single - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPA8hbUDZnk&list=UU6n45jpi89E_Y2AcB3oG7Fg
BROCKTON, Mass. – After a bases clearing double by Jose Pena (Boston, Mass.) tied the game at 7-7, junior Kyle Szatrowski (Agawam, Mass.) ripped a single to deep right center field to plate his teammate and give baseball an 8-7 non-conference win over Western New England University Friday afternoon at Campanelli Stadium.
The walk-off win for the Beacons improved their overall record to 12-13, and brought an end to the Golden Bears six-game unbeaten streak (5 wins, 1 tie) as they fell to 12-15-1.
After crawling back from a three-run deficit the Beacons got their first runner on in the bottom of the ninth on a hit by pitch. Charlie LaPaglia (Marshfield, Mass.) would reach first on an error by the third baseman to put runners on first and second. Pena, who was red hot for the Beacons absolutely crushed the ball off the right field wall sending the two runners around the bases.
Jason Cholish (Exton, Pa.), who was hit by the pitch, would reach without a problem to tie the game at 7-7. As LaPaglia came around to score what would have been the game-winning run, the Golden Bears catcher was waiting following a perfectly executed relay Now with two outs and Pena ready to go at second, Szatrowski ripped another deep ball to the outfield on a 1-0 count to give the Beacons the victory.
Thursday's win went to lefty reliever Harlan Zeerip (Bridgewater, Conn.), following 1 1/3 innings of work. He allowed just one hit in his short appearance to earn his second win of the year. In his second straight start, Steve Roche (Worcester, Mass.) was solid as the junior righty went six complete and allowed just three runs, one earned, on six hits. He also fanned one and walked another.
The Beacons combined for 12 hits in the victory, with Pena recording the team's lone double, while Jamill Moquete (Boston, Mass.) crushed his third triple of the season in the fifth. Pena closed out the victory 4-for-5 at the dish with the game-tying RBI and two runs scored. Anthony Searles (Shelton, Conn.) finished 2-for-3 with a run scored and RBI. Moquete and Daniel Mantoni (Northbridge, Mass.) each had a pair of hits and combined for two RBI and three runs scored respectively.
The non-conference loss went to David Cherry who entered the contest in the seventh. Now 0-3 on the year, Cherry went 2 1/3 and allowed three runs, two earned, on four hits. He entered when the Golden Bears were leading 6-5 and was in line for the save. He would get some run support in the top of the eighth to make it 7-5. However the Beacons would chip away at Cherry and the Golden Bears scoring one-run in the eighth before recording the game-winning two-run ninth.
Steve Buckley led the Golden Bears as he went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored. T.J. Wyrebek recorded the lone extra base-hit for WNEU as the second baseman went 2-for-5.
Baseball returns to action tomorrow when they host Keene State College in a Little East Conference doubleheader at Campanelli Stadium. Game one is scheduled for a 4 p.m. start.

The fingers usually point at Illinois senior guards Trent Meacham and Chester Frazier when things go wrong. Against a Missouri team that reached the rankings Monday, Meacham and Frazier finished their Braggin' Rights careers with an undefeated record. And some inner satisfaction.
The fingers usually point at Illinois senior guards Trent Meacham and Chester Frazier when things go wrong.
Critics don't like Frazier's lack of offense. They wonder if Meacham can get a shot against a quality opponent. They say Meacham and Frazier can't defend against quicker guards. Against a Missouri team that reached the rankings Monday, Meacham and Frazier finished their Braggin' Rights careers with an undefeated record.
And some inner satisfaction.
"We can't worry about what people are saying,'' said Meacham, who scored 15 of his game-high 23 points in the second half as Illinois rolled past No. 25 Missouri 75-59 Tuesday for a record ninth consecutive victory in the series. "We have to continue to improve as a team. If we do that, we'll be really tough coming into the Big Ten.
"It felt good to play well, have the team play well for 40 minutes and get a win against a really good opponent. Now we all can have a Merry Christmas.''
With transfer Alex Legion attempting to clmb into the rotation and presumably preparing to take minutes from Meacham and Frazier, Meacham played one of the best games of his career. He was three points short of his career high, but the scoring outburst was the best against a quality opponent.
"He got over-anxious a couple weeks ago,'' coach Bruce Weber said. "He was taking some quick shots. I told him when Alex comes, there's no pressure. That's 3 or 4 minutes here and there. We can rotate and help keep him fresher. When Trent gets open shots, he can make them.
"He was solid with the basketball and got to the free-throw line. He made a couple nice decisions in transition. He got to the paint and got fouled. It was a complete game. Consistency is the thing I talked about with Trent, Chester and Calvin (Brock). They've done that to this point.''
Frazier took only one shot in 35 minutes, but he controlled the tempo by handling Missouri's pressure and directing the half-court offense. Frazier finished with eight assists, six rebounds, three steals and only two turnovers, a complete line that will, at least temporarily, quiet the static.
"I don't care about the heat,'' Frazier said. "I'm going to play my game. The fans can't play for us. We want to play for the fans. We want to come out and win games. The best way to win games, that's what I will do. I took one shot in 35 minutes, but I did what I needed to do.''
Instead of playing through the pain of injury and loss like last season, the pain-free Frazier couldn't wait to hop a plane for a quick trip home for Christmas in Baltimore.
"If we keep playing like we're playing, I think we can compete (in the Big Ten),'' Frazier said. "This time last year, my knees were hurting and my feet were bloody and hurting. When you're winning, everything is all good.''
Illinois shot 56.9 percent, including 59.1 percent in the second half, while dissecting Missouri's defense. Meanwhile, Illinois limited Missouri's touches inside, and the Tigers couldn't answer from the perimeter. The Tigers missed their first 14 3-point shots and finished 2-for-18 from the 3-point line.
The Illini jumped to a 20-point lead in the first half, when guard Demetri McCamey scored 18 of his 20 points before halftime. Meacham and Frazier took care of things in the second half.

Groupon's numbers are out!
It looks like a beat on the top line and miss on the bottom line.
The earnings miss appears to be driven by a tax expense.
Shares were down as much as 15% in reaction to the release. They bounced back, and are down 7% as of 4:30eastern.
Our editor-in-chief, Henry Blodget, thinks it could be a short squeeze that drove the stock higher in the first place. He says the "numbers are totally fine."
Indeed, the company had $15 million in operating profit, and cash flow for the fourth quarter was $169.1 million.
Herer are the numbers versus estimates where available:
- EPS: -$0.02 vs. $0.03 (Street estimate via Yahoo)
- Revenue: $506.5 million $475.15 million (Street estimate via Yahoo)
- Revenue guidance: $510-$550 million versus $513 million (estimate by JP Morgan)
- Total Billings: $1.25 billion versus $1.21 billion (estimate by JP Morgan)
- Active customers: 33 million versus 30 million (estimate by JP Morgan)
- Operating income: $15 million versus -$13 million (estimate by Morgan Stanley)
We're listening to the earnings call and we'll dash off interesting things we hear. For the latest, click here.
4:33: Mason: Revenue was $1.6 billion and gross billings over $4 billion for the year. Operating profit for the quarter was the first time we had an operating profit. Free cash flow tripled year over year.
4:35: We've increased tech headcount. Opened a new office in Palo Alto. Grew core daily deal and Groupon Goods, and Groupon getaways.
4:37: There are several key drivers for profits: Strong repeat purchase behavior. It's durable over time, decreases incremental marketing spend. Our marketing is more efficient. Just 30% of our revenue. Third, we are more operationally excellent.
4:39: We still have less than 1% of local transactions ... still enormous optty. Still early days. On the cusp of sea change.
4:41: Now the CFO is taking over, running through the numbers.
4:44: Marketing down 22% y/y and down 8% q/q. As of the end of the year, sub acq is primary spend of marketing. Still early stages internationally.
4:46: CSOI was $48 million compared to $143 million loss in the year prior.
4:48: Income tax was $0.07 per share, related to international office expansion.
4:57: Mason: We think people should focus on net revenue. A lot of noise on take rates, they go up or down. Depending on deal mix, maturity of categories. Focused on net revenue and free cash flow and CSOI.
4:58: Can we get more color on the tax?
CFO: Total tax expense 7 cents. 3 cents relates to international HQ in Switzerland. Over time we expect as all of our countries are profitable, see a low 30s ETR. (effective tax rate).
5:00: New question: $40 mill in loses in less mature markets ... ?
CFO: Sure, oldest best market is U.S. where we made about $35 million. And saw growth accelerate. That's what we want to see in all countries. Expect progress over the balance of the year, get all regions to be profitable in the next year or two.
5:01: Tech headcount increasing by 4 Times? What are the priorities? What degree you expect pace to continue?
Mason: Headcount supports existing products like getaways and Now. These new products like rewards are more technologically complex. Pretty remarkable, magical stuff we think will make a more comprehensive marketing suite for customers. Expect to invest aggressive in additional headcount.
5:05: Goldman analyst just made a joke about pole dancing deals: Andrew, you can keep sending out those pole dancing deals.
5:06: Mason: A lot of stuff about how we're getting smarter in marketing. More investment in marketing that drives purchases. At same time, w. introduction of Goods, Now, travel, better personalization, becoming a product people love. Percent of organically acquired customers has improved.
5:08: Meanwhile, GRPN is back down 13%.
5:10: Merchant satisfaction? Repeats from merchants?
Mason: We're happy with merchant numbers. Happy they repeat. Nielsen said it found that 3 of 4 people that use a groupon bring a friend w. them. We did a deal w Lionsgate for a movie. For every person that heard about it thru Groupon only 1 of 3 bought group. Only 7% of those that bought it would have seen it anyway. That data gets us excited.
5:13: Barclays question ... are you accepting reviews on site? How do you do measure customer satisfaction? Repeats? Margin profile of international?
5:14: Mason on customer satisfaction ... we do collect feedback. Started 4-5 months ago. We email and ask about experience. Seeing high engagement, collecting reviews. We can flag anything exceptionally good or poor. On top of that, we survey customers frequently. We look at cohort behavior. Past cohorts continued to purchase in Q4 as prior quarters.
5:23: CFO talking about marketing spend as % of revenue, says it will continue to fall.
5:23: Can you talk about acceptance for new products?
Mason: We feel great about how well the assets we've acquired have translated. Operational infrastructure, as well as consumer base, who we've learned think of GRPN as good deals.
LAST QUESTION! More clarity on get away product?
CFO: It is w. Expedia, but we source w. our own travel salesforce. It is broadening from sales perspective. expect to see us add more features. In terms of Q1 how much Goods or get aways will be, we're not going to disclose at this time, too competitive.
And that's that!

BOSTON, Mass.—Plymouth State University (8-3, 3-2 Little East) blew the game open with five-straight goals to open the fourth quarter and cruised to a 12-6 victory over UMass Boston lacrosse (6-8, 1-4 Little East) Saturday afternoon at the UMass Boston Lacrosse Field.
After giving up three-straight goals to close the third quarter, the Panthers responded with five of their own to spoil UMass Boston's Second Annual Boston State Game. The Beacons' coaching staff donned Green and Yellow Boston State gear and welcomed back alumni, along with Plymouth State head coach Gordie Webb-who served as the head coach at both Boston State and UMass Boston.
Senior attack Chris Annunciata led the Panthers with a game-high four goals, while Nick Morello added three points (one goal and two assists). Goaltender Jesse Kurtz moved to 6-3 on the season with 12 saves on 18 shots. Kurtz also tied with Ryan Garland for the team-lead with six ground balls.
UMass Boston's attack was frustrated for much of the afternoon, as the Beacons managed just six goals on 35 total shots.
Nick Weiss (Westfield, Mass.), John Powers (Marshfield, Mass.), Dom Fichera (Scituate, Mass.) and Ryan McGoff (Charlestown, Mass.) all tied for the team-high with a goal and an assist in the loss.
Goaltender Craig Frehill (Norwell, Mass.) stopped 14 of the 24 shots he faced, before being replaced by AJ Collette (West Springfield, Mass.) for the final four minutes.
Freshman Derek Froio (Cohasset, Mass.) anchored the Beacons' defense with a career-high 10 ground balls, while also adding a team-high three caused-turnovers. Junior defenseman Tim Milch (Marshfield, Mass.) finished second on UMass Boston with four ground balls.
It only took the Beacons one minute and two seconds to claim their first and only lead of the day. Tommy Petitti (Quincy, Mass.) delivered the goal 62 seconds in on a pass from McGoff to give UMB an early 1-0 lead.
Morello helped the Panthers get right back into the game, as the junior registered a man-up goal at 10:43 of the quarter and added an assist on Mike Trocchi's strike with three seconds to go, to give Plymouth State a 2-1 lead at the first intermission.
Annunciata scored the first of his four goals at 8:14 of the second, but Fichera answered right back, off of a Weiss pass, to cut the deficit to 3-2.
The Panthers would respond with the first of their two big runs in the game, as Nick Pino found the back of the net on back-to-back unassisted goals and Annunciata added two more to make it 7-2 Panthers just 1:44 into the second half.
UMass Boston finally regained some traction three minutes later, when McGoff fired home a goal, with Donny Delpha (Walpole, Mass.) picking up the assist.
Powers and Weiss followed with strikes over the final five minutes of the quarter to cut the Beacons' deficit to 7-5 with 15 minutes left to play.
That's when Plymouth State took over the game, as the Panthers scored five goals over the opening 13:07 of the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach. Nicco Sorrentino registered a pair of goals during the stretch, while Aaron Boss, Scott Giusti and Annunciata each chipped in with one goal.
Noah Ellis (Hingham, Mass.) finally got the Beacons on the board in the fourth quarter, as the sophomore found the netting with 46 seconds to play. Sophomore Michael Durocher (Marion, Mass.) was credited with an assist on the play.
Both teams registered 35 shots and 10 face-off wins on the afternoon, while the Beacons held slight edges in ground balls (34-32) and turnovers (26-25). Plymouth State (1-for-6) scored the lone man-up goal of the afternoon, as the Beacons finished 0-for-4 with the man-advantage.
Sophomore Phil Truong (Quincy, Mass.) led the Beacons with 10 face-off wins in 19 tries.
UMass Boston will return to action Tuesday, as they travel to take on the University of Southern Maine at 4 p.m.

LOS ANGELES, June 1 - Just months into his tenure as chairman of Paramount, Brad Grey is facing the sort of decision that makes Hollywood executives quiver: whether to proceed with production of the hugely expensive "Mission: Impossible III," even as its star, Tom Cruise, is puzzling associates and members of the public with his behavior while promoting another Paramount venture, "War of the Worlds."
An executive for Viacom, Paramount's parent company, said the studio had not yet decided whether to push ahead with production of "Mission: Impossible III," one of the company's most valuable franchises and a project on which tens of millions of dollars has already been spent. Shooting was planned to begin in Italy on July 18 and to continue on location in Europe and elsewhere.
"No definitive decision has been made; it's a discussion," said the executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared endangering the studio's relationship with Mr. Cruise. Other executives involved in the discussion said the production became an issue in recent days as the budget has climbed well over $150 million. A studio spokeswoman, Janet Hill, declined to comment.
The uncertainty comes at a critical time for Paramount as it prepares to release "War of the Worlds," a big-budget science fiction epic directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Mr. Cruise. The movie, jointly financed with DreamWorks, is to open on June 29.
While promoting that film over the last several weeks, Mr. Cruise engaged in an increasingly public discussion of his religion, Scientology. Then he set tongues wagging in Hollywood and elsewhere with an hourlong appearance on the May 23 "Oprah" show, during which he jumped around the set, hopped onto a couch, fell rapturously to one knee and repeatedly professed his love for his new girlfriend, the actress Katie Holmes.
Many Hollywood stars are involved with the Church of Scientology, and there is nothing particularly unusual about trumpeting a new love. But some executives at Paramount and DreamWorks have voiced concern that fans were becoming distracted from the movie, which cost some $130 million to produce.
"You can have so much attention on a particular issue that maybe the movie doesn't get as much attention as it might," Marvin Levy, a spokesman for Mr. Spielberg, a partner in DreamWorks, said of the show. "It's the topic of conversation, for many reasons."
The two studios have already curtailed the normal promotional press junket ahead of the June 29 release of "War of the Worlds," limiting it to what Mr. Levy called a smaller number of "preselected interview sessions." He said the decision had nothing to do with Mr. Cruise but was made because there had been enough promotion already.
Mr. Cruise's recent comments and behavior have been fodder for Internet bloggers, radio talk show hosts and late-night comedians, who, among other things, have questioned whether the love affair with Ms. Holmes was a publicity stunt. A spokeswoman for Mr. Cruise denied that this was the case.
But within Hollywood, the discussion among agents, producers, studio executives and other actors has been focused more on whether Hollywood's biggest box office star was doing long-term harm to his career. And there was sincere confusion over what Mr. Cruise, a 20-year veteran of the publicity machine, had in mind with his recent public appearances and statements.
Mr. Cruise's spokeswoman, his sister Lee Anne De Vette, said she had not heard anything negative after the "Oprah" appearance. "You're looking at someone who's genuinely very happy," she said. "The response we've gotten back is complete enthusiasm and exhilaration for his enthusiasm and exhilaration. He's a very happy person."
Still, there have been other publicity hiccups related to Mr. Cruise's increasingly public association with Scientology, the religion founded by the science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard. In a series of television interviews on "Access Hollywood" last week, the star spoke at length about his passion for Scientology, at one point criticizing Brooke Shields for taking anti-depressants: Scientology considers modern psychiatry and its medications to be harmful.
And in an interview with the German magazine Der Spiegel in April, Mr. Cruise got into a heated exchange with an interviewer who called Scientology a pseudo-science after the star said he had personally "helped hundreds of people get off drugs." Mr. Spielberg was present at the interview and found himself defending Mr. Cruise's dedication to Scientology by comparing it to his work for his Shoah Foundation, which promotes education about the Holocaust. A DreamWorks executive called the exchange unfortunate.
One Spiegel interviewer, Lars-Olav Beier, said he was given a tour of Scientology's celebrity center before the interview. Ms. De Vette said Mr. Cruise talked about Scientology simply to answer questions. "Scientology didn't come up on 'Oprah,"' she observed. "It's a matter of what's being asked. He's not talking about it more than in the past."
Ms. De Vette also said she had not heard that plans for "Mission: Impossible III" were under review, and added that Mr. Cruise was in training for the film's stunts. "I know nothing about that," she said, referring to a Tuesday report on the Web site huffingtonpost.com that the film might be suspended. "As far as I know we're moving ahead."
Mr. Cruise's insistence on making his religion a prominent part of his current work has raised some resistance in Hollywood. Some executives from the United International Pictures, which is releasing "War of the Worlds" overseas, complained earlier about being asked to take a four-hour tour of Scientology facilities in Los Angeles in late January.
And Mr. Cruise's insistence on having a Scientology tent on the set of "War of the Worlds" created a conflict at Universal, where the movie was being shot, two executives involved said. The executives, who asked not to be identified to protect industry relationships, said that Mr. Cruise, his agent Kevin Huvane and Mr. Spielberg all had to appeal personally to the president of Universal Studios, Ron Meyer, for the tent to be permitted on the studio lot, where no solicitation is allowed.
The studio required that the tent not be used for recruitment purposes, they said. A studio spokesman declined to comment.

I guess most people have been in this situation.
The initial project planning begins. The requirements are outlined. After architectural review and sorting through APIs/Frameworks the fitting technology is picked. The development starts.
And then it starts. As soon as you need to do some supposedly simple supporting things, framework/API start to backfire, and instead of doing any work you end up fighting against the technology. The research time skyrockets, forums are silent, nothing seems to be done, and even when you get something to work, you're not really sure it's done right.
How do you manage in these situations? Do you go for hacks, do you research further, what do you say to management?

Looks like McDonald's is jumping on the "let's give out free stuff bandwagon." But hey, we're not complaining because every Monday through Aug. 3 is Free Mocha Mondays.
The fast-food chain wants to give you a caffeine buzz as they push their new McCafé hot and iced mochas.
Obviously, McDonald's probably won't provide the same flavor as a nice boutique-y coffee joint would, but as ThisisBrandX reminds us, McD's premium coffee did win a Consumer Reports taste test a couple of years ago. So who knows how/if its coffee has evolved.
But enough talk! You can get one free 7-oz. iced or 8-oz. hot mocha from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Monday. Better hurry, there's only one more Monday until Aug. 3. So pull up to the drive-thru, grab your free mocha and go!

Davis adds third homer in three games as O's top Rays
ST. PETERSBURG -- Just how hot has Chris Davis' bat been?
The Orioles first baseman, responsible for four RBIs in Baltimore's 6-3 win over Tampa Bay, has driven in 11 runs in the first three games of 2013, more than 16 other Major League teams had scored through Thursday afternoon. He's the first player in Major League history, according to Elias Sports Bureau, to drive in three or more runs in each of his team's first three games.
Davis, who joined Frank Robinson on Thursday in becoming the second player since 1920 in organization history to homer in the first three games of the season, has given Baltimore's lineup a significant boost.
But his latest effort cost him two bats and, as manager Buck Showalter quipped, "They broke Wonder Boy the last at-bat, so I don't know how he's going to do from here on out."
Jokes aside, the Orioles, who defied critics all last season en route to a 93-win playoff run, showed they are mighty serious about a follow-up act. The O's -- who lost a little luster with Brian Roberts' ninth-inning hamstring injury -- finally leave Florida with a divisional series "W" and a three-game stretch that featured good starting pitching and a well-balanced offensive attack that was better than anyone could have expected.
"This is a tough place to start a season," said Davis, who went 7-for-11 with six extra-base hits in the series. "Any time you come in here, you know you're going to have to just grind out at-bats. Their pitching staff is one of the best. I think it's something to be proud of, the fact that we scored as many runs in three games as we did and to come out of here with two wins."
Led by Davis' effort, the Orioles scored 20 runs in the series, with catcher Matt Wieters giving the club a rare homer off Rays ace David Price on Tuesday night and J.J. Hardy on Thursday with a two-run shot off reliever Cesar Ramos.
Hardy's eighth-inning blast ensured that right-hander Miguel Gonzalez would pick up the victory after the 28-year-old tossed 6 1/3 innings for a quality start in his season debut. Gonzalez cruised through the early part of the game and did not allow a hit until Evan Longoria's single up the middle to start the bottom of the fifth inning.
But Gonzalez ran into some trouble after that, with Tampa Bay using some well-placed hits to tie the game at 2. One out after Longoria's single, Yunel Escobar reached on an infield hit that deflected off Gonzalez. Afer throwing some warm-up pitches under the watchful eye of the medical staff, the right-hander stayed in the game, surrendering RBI singles to James Loney and Jose Molina to relinquish the lead.
"It skinned me," Gonzalez said of Escobar's ball. "Good thing it didn't hit me straight up, or I probably would have been out of the game."
Gonzalez got No. 9 batter Ryan Roberts to ground into a double play to end the inning and exited after a one-out single in the seventh to an ovation from the small Orioles crowd behind the visiting dugout.
"He's, as he would say, a tough hombre," Showalter said of Gonzalez, who is 2-0 with a 0.92 ERA in three career starts at Tropicana Field. "That's a good outing, that's a good start for him."
Davis got the scoring started, blasting Rays starter Roberto Hernandez's changeup for a two-run shot -- which also scored Adam Jones -- in the second. In the sixth, Davis doubled in Jones and Nick Markakis, who walked, to give the Orioles back the lead for good.
"It's just unbelievable," Rays manager Joe Maddon said of Davis' success in the series. "You throw anything up there and he's going to hit it hard somewhere. I've never quite seen him like that."
Added Longoria: "Without Chris Davis, we're at 3-0."
Longoria was in the middle of a Rays rally in the ninth, with a controversial call helping end it.
Orioles lefty Brian Matusz, on for his second inning of work, hit Sean Rodriguez with a pitch and allowed a single to Ben Zobrist to bring on closer Jim Johnson to face Longoria. Longoria blasted the first pitch to the center-field fence, past a leaping duo of Jones and Nate McLouth to drive in a run. But the O's caught a break when Longoria was ruled out for passing Zobrist on the basepaths, a call Maddon argued to no avail.
"That's not something that an umpire just comes up with," crew chief John Hirschbeck said of the call. "That's the kind of thing you either see it or you don't."
"If they hadn't called it, they would have had a heck of an argument, too," Showalter said. "We were all watching it. We saw the same thing the umpire did. I haven't seen the replays or whatever. You're going to get an argument either way. We were fortunate."

Day 1 -Trials get underway for the PKRA Argentina
The Kitesurf World Cup Mendoza kicked off today with an opening ceremony attended by riders, media, organizers and sponsors alike. Celebrating the commencement of the event, organizers and regional politicians spoke and made it clear with an enthusiastic sense of pride that the area of Mendoza is honored to officially inaugurate the 2013 PKRA Kitesurf World Cup Mendoza and to add kiteboarding to the long list of adventures and activities offered in the region. Closing the ceremony, the forthcoming 2013 freestyle World Champions - Alex Pastor and Gisela Pulido - added a few inspiring words and well-wishes for all the competitors.
The drive to the event site was filled with anticipation for all. The route to the event site passes through the Valle de Mendoza and its world famous vineyards. Green lines of grapes gave way to dramatic mountains, snow-capped Andean peaks and finally the emerald-blue water of Lago Potrerillos.
After a brief riders meeting, and with the wind just filling in, many Slalom racers went out to train and to get used to the conditions in anticipation for tomorrows races. Shortly after 2 pm, the men's freestyle trials got underway in 15 knots of wind. The riders used kites in sizes ranging from 11m and 14m
For the trials, the heats are run in a dingle format, which allows each competitor two attempts to advance. Competitors winning first place in thier three or four-man heat move straight into the main event- the other riders go back into the ladder to compete again.
Early round trials action saw few surprises with the most seasoned riders moving on. Heat one saw Evandro Da Silva advance in the closest heat of the day against the Brazilian rider Reis. Reis landed some nice technical tricks but Da Silva took the win showing better overall execution.
Carlos Madson advanced in Heat two, unanimously showing his variety and technical ability with a 315 and 313 Osmosis. During the early minutes of heat three, the wind became light and the heat had to be abandoned. Only minutes later, the wind returned and we were able to resume competition. Carlos Mario, younger brother of Carlos Madson advanced throughout heat three, and was the most notable rider of today's heats.
"Bebe" as he is known, landed both a Double Hinterberger 5 and Blind Judge 5 - showing why, at 15 years old, he is the 2013 Brazilian national champion. Heat four saw Hutter firing his arsenal of stock moves including a grabbed Hinterberger Mobe. Neto advanced with a very solid Slim Chance and Crow Mobe in Heat five and Umpierre landed a nice Hinterberger Mobe and 313 which put him through in Heat six. In light wind heat seven, Bakker advanced with a Front to Blind and 313. Near the end of this heat, it was clear that the day's thermal wind was on its way down. At approximately 4:30 pm, conditions were not suitable to continue running heats and the decision was made to call it for the day.
While today's action was just a sample of what is to come, it proved without a doubt that the venue here in Mendoza, Argentina is worthy of a PKRA Tour stop. With the level of talent present, the Kitesurf World Cup Mendoza is sure to provide some of the most spectacular kiteboarding action witnessed to date.
Tomorrow the action continues with the termination of the Men's Freestyle trials followed by Slalom Racing throughout the afternoon. Riders meeting begins onsite at 11:00am with a first possible start at 11:30 am. Be sure to stay tuned to our Facebook and Twitter feeds for all the days action and possible start times for the Live Web Cast.

Chris Fenwick is a colleague of mine and has been for quite a while here in the Bay Area. Chris has been involved in the post-production community since the 80's so he's been around the block a few times. He's also well known in the Final Cut Pro community and has given impassioned lectures about non-linear editing workflow at FCP users groups like SF Cutters.
To my surprise, Chris has recently become a "switcher". That is, someone who formerly used another editing tool and has made the decision to switch to Premiere Pro CS5. Lately, he's been working with a ton of DSLR footage and the workflow for editing it in Final Cut Pro is too painful. Chris simply doesn't have the time to transcode his footage just to start working on a project. Chris' reasoning is that Premiere Pro CS5 provides tools to get his job done more quickly and smoothly than Final Cut Pro can.
Chris has recently released a series of videos about the switching process on his website. Although he can be a bit brash in talking about its quirks, I think that Chris gives a very honest assessment of the tools and features found in Premiere Pro CS5. Check out Chris' website and look at the left hand column for links to all the videos and commentary. If you're a switcher too, I think you'll find the videos valuable. By the way, you can also follow Chris on Twitter.
Are you thinking about switching too? No problem! We've posted a web page for switchers right here at Adobe. Check out the link here for more information: www.adobe.com/products/premiere/switch/

Heartland Recreational Vehicles LLC has bolstered its ElkRidge full-profile fifth-wheel lineup with the addition of the five-slide 36FLPS floorplan, designed to address a new market segment while extending the brand's "value-driven" strategy that has generated strong sales in 2012.
"The ElkRidge is one of the fastest growing fifth-wheels on the market," said Bryan Walczak, general manager for the Elkhart, Ind.-based builder, in a news release. "Through the first five months, the brand saw a 12.2% increase in market share and a 16.4% rise in units sold. We expect the 36FLPS to have the same success, hitting a mid-profile price point in a full-profile fifth-wheel."
Walczak said that the 39-foot "PentaSlide" is full-featured, offering refined interior amenities set off by a front living room with theater-style seating that showcases a 40-inch TV, along with two sliderooms. Other key standard features include wireless remote control, washer/dryer prep, freestanding dinette, king bed, ample storage and multiple entrance doors.
Walczak noted that with base MSRP's starting at $48,749, the aluminum-framed, laminated "Penta-Slide" retails at "thousands less than the competition's comparably equipped fifth-wheels."
"We went into production in July and we just sold our first unit at Bent's RV outside of New Orleans," said Walczak. "Brian Bent, the owner, told me that customers love the floorplan, especially when they see that it retails for the same price as other mid-profile coaches. We are looking for the 36FLPS to perform in line with our other ElkRidge models, where dealers are able to see an exceptional return on their investment."
The 36FLPS will make its consumer debut on the show circuit in September at America's Largest RV Show in Hershey, Pa. It will also be on display for dealers during Elkhart's Thor All-Star dealer open house, set to run Sept. 17-21 in the industry's manufacturing hub.
"Judging by early feedback, we think the 36FLPS will really generate sales with our dealers during the Open House event," Walczak said.
With the addition of the "PentaSlide," the ElkRidge now features seven floorplans, ranging in length from 29 to 42 feet, with five additional floorplans in the entry-level, ultra-affordable Elkridge Express line.
Built in a dedicated facility, the ElkRidge features integrated remote control systems, full-profile ceiling slideouts, solid-surface countertops, universal docking center, European-style hidden hinges, true slam baggage doors, roller bearing drawer glides and camp kitchens. Packaged with rich, cherry interiors, ElkRidge also offers an 88-degree turning radius designed to accommodate short-bed pickup trucks.

Tom Braaten set the tone for last week�s celebration honoring former Havelock mayor Jimmy Sanders.
Tom Braaten set the tone for last week�s celebration honoring former Havelock mayor Jimmy Sanders.
Braaten, a retired Marine Corps commanding general at Cherry Point, pointed out that Sanders had served in the Air Force.
�Everybody�s entitled to one mistake, and that was his,� Braaten joked.
And, so began an endless slew of stories and jokes about Sanders, from the time he burned down a dugout when he tried to dry a wet softball field by setting it on fire to his work at Fleet Readiness Center East � or lack thereof, according to co-worker Bruce Styron.
�People would always ask how Jimmy made his money, and he had a job on base. I know because I�m the guy who did all of his work,� Styron joked.
But between the jokes, there was recognition for Sanders� service to the Havelock Fire and Rescue Department, to youth sports, to the Eastern Carolina Aviation Heritage Foundation, and of course, to the city as a Havelock commissioner and mayor.
�I know a lot of people who love Havelock,� Styron said. �But no one loves Havelock like Jimmy Sanders.�
After all the accolades and jokes, Sanders had an opportunity to address the large crowd. He mentioned that it seemed odd to attend an event that celebrated his life, a life he said he hoped wasn�t ending anytime soon.
�Maybe you people know something I don�t,� Sanders joked. �I hope you�re wrong.�
The Havelock Chamber of Commerce put on the event at the Havelock Tourist and Event Center. Sanders called the gathering a humbling experience.
�Being here, this is not something I ever would have done, but don�t think it�s not appreciated,� he said.
Sanders then began to thank many in the audience, including city workers and staff.
�It is humbling to look out and see so many great people who have made such a difference in my life,� he said.
Sanders particularly thanked Commissioner Danny Walsh.
�What am I thankful for about being an elected official all these years? Danny is probably near the top of the list,� he said. �If I had never come back to serve on the board in 2001, I never would have had the opportunity to serve on the board with Danny Walsh, and both of us would have left this life not knowing what good friends we were meant to me.�
He also thanked retiring city manager Jim Freeman.
�I�m going to give you a scoop: Sometimes, six elected officials don�t see eye to eye,� Sanders said. �But, Jim was great at keeping the waters calm, and I appreciate it and I appreciate everything he has done for the city of Havelock.�
He also thanked his family for years of support.
�I think family, they are the ones who have to put up the most with us being elected officials,� he said. �People will say something to my wife, my niece. They will say something to you that they wouldn�t say to me, and you all have a very special place in my heart.�
He particularly thanked his wife Cherrie, but also couldn�t resist a joke.
�We got married on Friday the 13th. They said it wouldn�t last, and they may be right. I don�t know,� he said. �And, she was from New Bern, bless her heart, but we have converted this child.�
He said he remembered the early days of the fire department, when he worried about purchasing tires for the trucks and not having safety equipment for new firefighters. He also recalled the days when Havelock was incorporated.
�Who would have thought that in 1959 what Havelock would be today?� he said. �None of us. None of us ever dreamed that we would be what we are, and that�s thanks to a lot of you in this room. You wouldn�t take no for an answer. You didn�t ask what the government can do for me. You asked �how can I get involved? What can I do to make a difference?��
Sanders, 66, gave thanks and praise to God, and said he appreciated all the support over the years.
�It has been a good run,� he said. �I�ve enjoyed it.�

GOP govs take second Medicaid look
Republicans counting on a year of nonstop Obamacare-bashing may be in for an unwelcome surprise: more red-state governors ditching the political script to take a second look at the law's huge expansion of Medicaid.
The party plans to make Obamacare and its early stumbles a central campaign issue in 2014; the House plans two anti-Obamacare votes Friday. But in the states, the Medicaid expansion — a giant, dangling carrot worth billions of federal dollars to states that sign up — has proved attractive to nearly a dozen GOP governors, and a handful more are on the fence.
Story Continued Below
Governors like Rick Perry of Texas and Bobby Jindal of Louisiana remain firmly in the "no way" camp. But Pennsylvania and Tennessee are actively working with the Obama administration to expand Medicaid, although their efforts to squeeze policy concessions on the GOP wish list — like requiring enrollees to pay more — could be a dead end.
Indiana and Oklahoma are eyeing alternative versions of expansion and were granted a one-year reprieve by the Obama administration to extend existing state health care programs while they think about it.
( PHOTOS: The GOP governors who said yes to Medicaid expansion)
Virginia, where Democrat Terry McAuliffe is succeeding Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell, is considered a likely candidate to embrace expansion this year. In Maine, Democrats in control of the state Legislature are pressuring Republican Gov. Paul LePage to accept the Medicaid expansion this year, during his reelection effort. New Hampshire, too, where only a Republican-led Senate has blocked expansion, is considered a likely candidate to flip this year.
Governors in small, Republican-dominated states like Wyoming, Kansas and Utah say they're keeping an open mind in 2014, despite their hatred for the overall health law. And in every undecided state, an unusual alliance of powerful hospital, business and religious interests has been leaning on Republican leaders to reverse course.
In short, the 26 states that have already approved Medicaid expansion are likely to be joined by at least a few more in 2014 — and the "hell no" states could find themselves an increasingly isolated bunch, concentrated in the South.
"We really are not taking any state for granted," said Tim Phillips, president of the conservative Americans for Prosperity, which is fighting expansion efforts around the country. He expects Republicans will distance themselves from expansion the closer the elections get, but says AFP won't leave it to chance. "We're going to continue to run a very aggressive grass-roots and paid media campaign," he said, with ads running in states on a case-by-case basis, as they consider expansion proposals.
( PHOTOS: 25 unforgettable Obamacare quotes)
Already, seven states have approved expansion with the blessing of Republican governors — including Arizona's Jan Brewer, Ohio's John Kasich and New Jersey's Chris Christie. Medicaid is growing quickly under Obamacare, with an estimated 3.9 million people determined eligible for the program in the first three months. Supporters say that if all 50 states expanded Medicaid, another 5 million people would become eligible.
In general, Republican-dominated states outside of the South aren't taking as hard a line against expansion as conservatives would prefer.
Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, who three years ago sent back a major $31.5 million federal grant to set up a state-run health insurance exchange, hasn't shut the door on expansion this year.
"Gov. Brownback is still considering whether or not to expand Medicaid," spokeswoman Sara Belfry wrote in an email. "The governor will consider all bills passed by the Legislature this session."
Kansas's top hospital trade group signaled that it's readying a new Medicaid offensive in the coming legislative session. Just before the holidays, the Kansas Hospital Association hired former HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt, who's advising GOP states on Obamacare implementation, to craft a Medicaid expansion plan that its members could pitch to reluctant state lawmakers.
In deep-red Utah, state lawmakers and a special Medicaid commission have met over the past few months to consider conservative approaches to the Medicaid expansion. After winning special concessions from the Obama administration last year for the state's small-business exchange, Utah policymakers seem poised to once again test the feds' health care flexibility, say advocates closely tracking the debate.
In two legislative hearings in November and December, "it became abundantly clear they're going to push beyond" reforms Obama administration said it would allow for the Medicaid expansion program, said Jason Stevenson, communications director for the Utah Health Policy Project. Gov. Gary Herbert has remained on the sidelines of the expansion debate so far, but he's expected to weigh in soon.
Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead also isn't ruling anything out.
"At this time Gov. Mead is not recommending that the Legislature go ahead with the optional expansion. He plans to monitor the implementation of the ACA and remains open-minded if improvements are made to address his concerns," said Mead spokesman Renny MacKay. That's not an endorsement, but it's not the kind of flat rejection that governors like Perry have made.

As much as I've drooled over the beautiful $1000 blades that some of the forum members possess, I'm neither rich enough nor skilled enough to use anything of that caliber. People have said various good things about the Masamoto KK, the Yoshihiro honkasumi, and the Tanakas. I'm most likely going to rehandle whatever I purchase, so that doesn't matter so much, and I can give-or-take damascus. What I want is good steel with a good profile and decent finish.

Eigg Box will be a new space for artists to make and do creative work. The newly built eco workspace on the Isle of Eigg will bring together local island creative businesses with artists from around the world.
Established as a self-sustaining social enterprise, Eigg Box will be a powerhouse of creative activity, entrepreneurship, inspiration and collaboration. However, unlike its urban counterparts, Eigg Box's eco-built studios and creative workspace will be on the Isle of Eigg; a community-owned, renewably-powered island, off the north-west coast of Scotland with a population of less than 100.
Eigg Box turns on its head the notion that a centre of entrepreneurship and creativity needs to be at the centre of population.
Eigg Box makes the remote central.
The Why?
Other similar (mainland) projects have shown providing high quality, custom built working space increases productivity, reduces isolation, and offers tenants the opportunity to share costs, collaborate and pitch for work jointly. Time spent as a visiting artist-in-residence can motivate, transform and inspire creative practice, and bring new skills and perspective to a local community.
For island-based artists and creative businesses, Eigg Box means somewhere better to work, companionship and creative collaboration and a working environment with fewer distractions and more focus than the kitchen table! Eigg Box also offers the chance to share everything from skills and ideas, to the electricity bill, marketing and training.
For Eigg it means new and more diverse island businesses, providing much needed local employment, helping retain and grow our population and providing community benefit.
For visiting artists, Eigg Box means coming to join a vibrant and supportive group of like-minded creative souls and experience Eigg community life. It offers artists the chance not just to work in a different (and very beautiful) place, but also engage with the Eigg community, with ideas, issues and concepts that are out of their norm and challenge perspectives on what living on an island is all about. At the end of the day, we all live on an island, Eigg is just a bit smaller!
Click here for what Eigg Box will provide.
Funding willing, Eigg Box will open in 2016.
Over to you
You can follow our day to day blog on Tumblr, or keep up with us on Facebook, Twitter or Blip.
Eigg Box is, in many ways, a crowd sourced idea. By that I mean it's an vision that people on the Isle of Eigg and further afield have helped to build and will keeping building now and into the future. You can contribute too, with your thoughts and ideas on what Eigg Box could mean to you. Sign up for a newsletter (right hand side sign up box) or get in touch and tell me what you think or ask questions HERE.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Rock pioneer Chuck Berry recalls tough times BY: Al Caldwell
As I drove Chuck Berry from the Houston airport to his gig in Winnie, we found ourselves laughing at the times of the not-so-great 1950s.
The broad generous smile held his 84 years well. His big hands and 6-foot-plus frame stretched out and relaxed as we talked of trials and tribulations that beset his career. He was jailed at one time without charges, taunted by white club owners and got less than a penny a record during his 66-year tenure on stage.
He seemed to remember the concert in Dallas when I played piano for one of the much lesser known acts on the show. I recall being mesmerized when he hit the spotlight doing his trademark duck-walk across the stage to the roar and approval of the crowd, which was both black and white.
Whether I was in his memory is not important. It was what happened a year earlier after his first big hit that we must never forget.Chuck speaks clearly with no signs of a southern accent.
"I took the train overnight from St. Louis to Mobile for a hundred-dollar booking in '55," he said. "Got to the private club and buzzed the door."
"Who is it?" came the gruff voice from within. "Chuck Berry, sir" came the Midwestern reply from the front steps. "Come on in, Chuck," yelled the club owner, anxious to meet his star attraction. The door opened and one look later, the show was off.
"Who the hell are you? I don't book no colored acts," said the owner.
He didn't know Chuck was black, and although the pleas came from the young singer, they were in vain. No job, no money and back to the railroad station to wait for the next northbound choo-choo. A ticket home and one dollar in his pocket. The next train was at midnight and he didn't feel too comfortable alone in the colored waiting room.
No front money was sent ahead in those days. It wasn't the first or the last shortchanging the berry picker would encounter.
Years later, the Beatles, the Stones and even Elvis would copy his tunes.
It's been a bittersweet ride for the guy who has sung everything from "Maybelline" to "Nadine" to "Beethoven" to "B. Goode."
Last Friday night at Nutty Jerry's, he delivered his stuff to a much more appreciative audience than the gentleman from Mobile who declined to see him perform.Berry has no regrets, except perhaps that today's young entertainers, regardless of color, don't seem to know the rocky road yesterday's troubadours had to follow.
Great show. Thanks, Chuck.Be safe and keep "Reelin' and Rockin."
— Al Caldwell

Walt Whitman was the first major poet to create a truly American vision and style. His extraordinary example gave American verse much of its subsequent character and diction. Rejecting traditional constraints of form and subject matter, Whitman considered democracy itself appropriate grist for his own poetic mill, inventing a radically different sort of free verse to express what he had to say.

Ohhh -- Thanksgiving. How we love you! And how we love the alcohol that is hopefully available -- and flowing quite nicely -- on this family-filled day. Whether you are drinking an ice cold beer, an oaky red wine, or something much harder and on the rocks -- we thought we'd help you add a little spice to your Turkey Day with a drinking game the whole (over 21) family can play.
It's really quite simple. Any time one of the things listed below is said -- everyone must take a drink.
Any time YOU say any of them out loud (or hell -- if you just think them in your head!), then you must take two drinks (while everyone else takes their one).
Any time a child cries during the course of the meal, each participant must take three drinks. Just, please, make sure there is at least one responsible, sober adult to take care of said crying child.
Drink List
I don't want to sit at the kid table.
I'm thankful for ...
Pass the mashed potatoes.
Do I have to eat the [insert vegetable]?
Chew with your mouth closed.
Pass the wine.
Can we have dessert now?
Can I leave the table?

What's the score?
Who's playing today?
I have to unbutton my pants.
Why did I wear these pants?
The diet starts tomorrow.

I found a wishbone!
The turkey is dry.
I don't like pumpkin pie.
Why is the cranberry shaped like a can?
Is this gluten-free?

The tryptophan is setting in.
Now print this out so you have it handy. And one last bit of advice ... take small sips and make sure you have a good drink!
Oh -- and have a very, very Happy Thanksgiving!!

By November 25, almost two weeks before opening night, Colonial Players' musical A Christmas Carol was sold out. That amazing feat speaks to the power of Charles Dickens' classic and to Colonial Players' place in the traditions of its community.
Colonial's homegrown Carol — with play and lyrics by Richard Wade and composed by Richard Gessner — debuted in 1981. This is its 29th incarnation.
At a scant 75 minutes, with 11 songs, much of the poignancy and most of Dickens' social criticism is sacrificed to brevity. The cast of 23 characters throng Colonial's small, all-the-way-round stage, and none gets much development. The exception, of course, is Scrooge.
Venerable local talent Duncan Hood makes this Christmas Carol sing. His Scrooge embodies the spirit Dickens wished for his readers, carrying the redemptive power of this tale to us, 169 years after it was penned.
From a stereotypically mean miser, Hood softens his character as the ghosts show him his past, present and possible future. Once Scrooge has reformed, Hood brings the show home. His prancing is delightful, his joy infectious and his redemption hopeful.
"I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year!" Scrooge proclaims. Isn't that a wish we all have at this gentler time of year? If someone as far gone as Scrooge can change, isn't there hope for all of us?
May laughter, humor and rousing theater be yours throughout 2013.

Vols To Face A Familiar Foe
Knoxville, Tenn. – Defensive coordinator Sal Sunseri isn't the only member of the Tennessee coaching staff that is going up against a team he has spent a lot of time with. UT cornerbacks coach Derrick Ansley also spent two seasons with Alabama as a defensive assistant from 2010-11, winning the national championship in his final year in Tuscaloosa working alongside Sunseri.
Despite their close connections with Alabama, Ansley knows his impact on the game will be limited to his work on the sidelines.
"Me and Coach Sal aren't going to go out there and make any plays," Ansley said. "These kids have to believe in their abilities and believe they can beat this team. I think they do. We have to go to there and play good football. This is a good football team coming in here this weekend."
Ansley will have a chance to catch up with many of his former counterparts, but once the game kicks off it will be business as usual.
"I am going to talk to them during pregame but that is about it," Ansley said. "I am not going to be able to talk to Coach Saban but I will talk to most of the assistants. It is going to be like any game when you have friends that coach in the SEC. You go up there and see how they are doing, how their families are doing, and get ready for the game."
Along with Ansley and Sunseri, another member of the Vol staff will be facing his former school — one who wore the crimson and white. Nick Gentry, who serves as the Vols administrative intern on defense, graduated from Alabama a few months ago and played 37 games in four seasons with the Tide, recording 45 tackles, 5.5 sacks and eight quarterback hurries.
On Saturday, the Tennessee trio will have only one objective: helping the Vols find a way to claim a win over the No. 1 team in the land.
"(Sal) wants to win, just like he wants to win every week," Ansley said. "We have to go out there and worry about Tennessee and not worry about those guys."
Tennessee running backs coach Jay Graham is no stranger to the UT-Alabama rivalry.
A four-year letter winner for the Vols from 1993-96, Graham played on the Third Saturday in October four times, helping lead the Big Orange to wins in his junior and senior seasons.
Although Tennessee enters Saturday's game without a win in the rivalry since 2006, Graham knows streaks like that are meant to be broken. In fact, his first win over the Tide – a 41-14 victory in Birmingham – broke a streak of nine consecutive UT losses and provided him with memories that will last a lifetime.
"It was weight lifted off of our shoulders," Graham said. "It had been [nine] years since we won. It was a great experience. Just to see our fans in the corner of the end zone after that game was a special thing. I will remember it for the rest of my life."
Before that win, and a 20-13 victory the following year in Knoxville, Graham had to endure defeat first as the Vols dropped a 17-13 decision in 1994. The feeling after that game is something else he will never forget.
"I was hurt," Graham said. "I went home and didn't go to sleep. It hurt. That is the thing about the rivalry, you play so hard, you hit hard and play so fast. You want to win that game and it just hurts that much more."
Graham has made sure to communicate the importance of the rivalry game to this year's Tennessee squad.
"We have talked about it and they understand," Graham said. "The energy in practice and everything, they are excited about this opportunity. We get to play against our rival and they are also number one in the country, so those are two things you should get excited about going into the game."
This year's version of the "Third Saturday in October" will pit the number one defense in America against one of the top offensive lines in the country.
According to offensive line coach Sam Pittman, the starting five of Antonio Richardson, Dallas Thomas, James Stone, Zach Fulton and Ja'Wuan James will get the majority of the snaps against Alabama this week. And for good reason.
The Tennessee offensive line, which has allowed just three sacks this season, has set the tone up front this season, helping the Vols average 482.3 yards of total offense, 183.3 yards of which have come from the ground game.
"We don't want a lot of rotation on our guys because we want to feel what they are doing on defense and make sure we can relate to the calls and get everything going on what we are supposed to get going," Pittman said. "We like guys who have seen something happen already before. I feel like they have to exchange defensive lineman more than they exchange offensive lineman because they have to go further than we do."
The line will face its toughest opponent to date in Alabama, which enters the game allowing just 181.2 yards per game. The Crimson Tide has held its opponents to just eight red zone trips this year and a mere six touchdowns through six games.
"They are not only the number one team, they are the number one defense," Pittman said. "They have a lot of talent and a lot of people. They play a lot of different guys and they are big, all of them are pretty good size guys. They are well coached and they play well with their hands.
"They play relentlessly and they can because they can substitute and get fresh people out there all the time, so we certainly are excited about the challenge. I am glad we are not playing them week one, I am glad we are playing them week seven as we have progressed a little bit. We know we have our work cut out for us but we are really excited about going and playing Alabama."
Tennessee's biggest challenge will come on the ground. The Vols rushed for 214 yards last week against Mississippi State, but the line will face a defense that allowed just three total rushing yards against Missouri in its last contest.
"Jay Graham has done such a nice job with the running backs," Pittman said. "They run hard. I didn't even know that we had a back or two hurt, I just thought Jay was rotating backs and all that. Of course, Devrin Young came in and ran really hard."
The Vols will have to play hard for four complete quarters this week against their toughest competition in 2012.
"We are just getting better every week that is the whole thing," Pittman said. "Regardless of the competition we just get better every week. Maybe here at the end of the fourth quarter we will start winning these games."
(On Tennessee)
"Games like this are more about the rivalry and less about people's record. Tennessee has a really good offensive team. It's always a challenge to play on the road. This is certainly a challenging place to play. They have one of the best offensive teams in the country statistically. They have two great receivers that are some of the top receivers in our conference. They have a very good quarterback who has done a fantastic job for them this year. They've got a big offensive line. They've been able to create balance on offense. They've played well on defense at times and have shown they have the capability to do that. They are a very well-coached team. Derek (Dooley) has done a good job there. They are very good on special teams. This is a challenging game for us. This game means a lot to a lot of people. Certainly it means a lot to me and to us. I think our players will work hard this week to get ready to play the best football."
(On Tennessee's offensive line allowing only three sacks this year)
"They're big, they're very physical. They've got three or four guys that have played a lot of football and are really experienced. This is by far the best offensive line we've played against all year long. I think they do a really good job with their protection schemes and make it difficult to pressure you. They're maybe a little different than they have been in the past. They're a lot more protection conscious, and that's keeping the quarterback from getting hit much and he's pretty smart about getting rid of the ball and not getting hit. I think all those things contribute to them not getting sacked a lot."
(On Vinnie Sunseri and Saban's relationship with Sunseri and his family)
"I really have a lot of respect for the entire family, certainly Vinnie. But sometimes when you work on something and it happens in the game like you worked on it and the guy makes a play, you get excited about that. That's kind of what happened on that play. I'm always excited when we get an interception, and I'm always disappointed if we throw one."
(On similarities between Alabama and Tennessee's offense)
"I think there are some similarities, but I think the things that they try to emphasize, the things they try to do, the quality of their players, how they use the very good skilled players that they have, as well as a very good offensive line to run the ball and create balance makes it a very, very difficult team to defend. They've always done something a little bit different against us in every game. Last year they had three receivers in the game and reloaded one of them and made two back runs to get us in nickel. I'm sure we'll be adjusting and adapting to something again this year."
(On TJ Yeldon)
"He runs the ball extremely well. I don't think he reminds me of anybody currently. He is an old school runner. He kind of runs a little bit like Ernie Davis used to run, kind of that upright style, good wiggle in the hole. He is a really explosive guy and he looks to take it to the house."
(On the importance of gang tackling)
"Every game. When you are in the SEC you have these backs that are 220 or 225 and they can run tight ends and wideouts. You have to get more guys to the ball and hopefully we have stressed that enough and we will get guys running to the football."
(On Justin Coleman)
"We had him in the starting lineup coming out of camp, he had a couple bad days in and out of camp and he ended up being beat out for the first couple games. He has responded well. He is one of the main guys we have on the perimeter that has a lot of toughness and heavy strong hands. He plays with a relentless attitude. He has done very well. I would like to see him make more plays on the ball but he is tackling very well. He is straining. He is doing a really good job at gunner. He is a solid contributor for us right now."
(On improving the secondary)
"I think our pass coverage on the outside is tight. I think our star could be a lot better in slot coverage. Which that comes with reps and comes with discipline on the linemen. Our guys are playing decent. We aren't playing to win the football right now in some areas but we have to get all eleven guys playing up to par."
(On the challenge the Alabama defense presents)
"Technically they are so sound. They have given up only 500 yards rushing and two yards a carry and that says a lot about what they do. They close down the holes, there aren't a lot of open holes and we have to get what you see."
(On what UT has worked on this week)
"We have worked on ball security. I think they have 15 turnovers that they have had in five games so that is going to be a key in the game. We also need to have a low pad leverage and running through [tackles] because they play physical. We have to be able to match their physicality."
(On Alabama's weaknesses)
"They play hard and they are great defensively. You can look at the numbers and there aren't a lot of weaknesses, but we are still looking for them. They have guys that play football the right way. They play hard every play and they get a lot of guys to the football."
(On pressure on Tennessee offense)
"I tell you, there's a lot of maturity that is happening. Like that Mississippi State game, we were moving the ball pretty well there in the second half, and then when we had the turnover, right before the last drive, we came out the last drive, and went right down the field and scored. There was patience there. There were a lot of good throws; there was a lot of good runs, good situations, good blocking and we have to continue that and not worry about what happens on the field. We can't control anything but what we do. We keep preaching that to them and they're doing a good job of understanding that. There is a maturity level that comes about and it's growing. You can see it growing in the team and it's exciting to see and now we have to go finish games. Bottom line, we have to go finish games."
(On Cordarrelle Patterson)
"It's just like anything. There's times when the ball is coming your way and there's times where we're going to be able to flip you the ball and let you go do things with it and all that kind of stuff. There have been a bunch of times where we have flipped him the ball and the defense did a good job of sidelining. There's always different ways to get him the ball. We have to keep getting him the ball, let him go do special things, we have to go block for him, we also have to protect for him. There are a couple rights where he was open and Tyler had to scramble, and he was wide open. We have to get him the ball and Justin the ball. Justin is doing a great job of working through it all. I know he was frustrated a little bit, just like we were. We want to get him the ball too. He's a play maker. We have to go get him the ball. I tell you, our room is really good. I'm really proud of also the guys that are running the routes to clear out sometimes, to clear out the routes or to do different things to get other guys open. Justin and CP love each other. They always joke around each other on the sidelines, whose going to make the next play, and all that kind of stuff, and that has to continue to happen and we just have to go out there and go make plays."
(On Alabama secondary)
"They're very good. The amount of reps they've had in games, there are a couple of them that have played a lot, there are a couple of them that haven't. The thing that they do a great job of is that a lot of those guys left and went to the NFL, and those next guys come and they look really good. They've obviously gotten them ready through the years, redshirting and all that kind of stuff, getting them prepared to go play, and they go out and execute their defense as good as anyone in the country. Obviously, they're number one in the country. They do a really good job in the backend of not only tackling and getting the ball down, but do a good job of putting hands on you and frustrating you at the line of scrimmage with wide receivers, so you can't run your fourteen yard dig route, you end up running a nine yard dig route. They do a good job of condensing your routes, so we have to do a good job of getting off the ball."
(On Alabama offensive line)
"I think they are about as close to an NFL offensive line as you can get. They're coached well, they're physical and they obviously have very good players. They're able to run the ball because they have great running backs but the offensive line does a great job of making creases and holes for them. It's obvious, they are very well coached, so scheme has something to do with it, but they are very talented. You know, the thing that you find out when you have a really good football team, is that you can make mistakes and still overcome mistakes, because somebody plays a little bit harder or plays a little bit better. That's when you become a great football team, when you don't necessarily play great, but guys find a way to make plays."
(On playing all four quarters)
"I wish I could pinpoint them. It's a lot of things right now that we have to get corrected. We have some flashes of playing good defense, but we have not done it on a consistent basis. You can't go out, for instance, like Georgia, first quarter; horrible, second quarter; not bad, third quarter; horrible, fourth quarter; really good. First half, Mississippi State; not really good. Third quarter; lights out. Fourth quarter; eh, there's three or four minutes left in the game, you have to get the ball back for the offense. That's part of playing good defense, and we didn't do that."
(On Sal Sunseri)
"I don't know how it can't be special. It's the first time all year that he even gets a chance to see his son play. I know he'll be tied up with us, making adjustments and stuff like that, but I'm sure he'll catch glimpses of watching his son play some. I think it has to be special and coming from Alabama it has to be special for him. I know it would be for me if I had been there."
(On protecting Tyler Bray more since he is banged up from Mississippi State)
"I don't know. I still think he has as much mobility as he had before. You just don't want to get him hit. He is kind of slippery is what he is. He is not really going to break the pocket and go for a fifty-yard run. He is really a big key as for why we don't have as many sacks. Along with our backs and our wideouts have done a nice job. I don't think so as long as we don't get him hit. If we start getting him hit, it could be a problem."

UK Palm Pré carrier confirmed
Well, it's not Vodafone...
Blighty's exclusive Palm Pré carrier has finally been revealed. And the winner is, unsurprisingly, O2.
The smartphone will be "launched in Europe in time for the Winter holidays", said O2's parent company, Telefónica, which has also secured exclusive rights to sell the Pré in Spain, Ireland and Germany.
O2 hasn't said how much the Pré and associated monthly contracts will cost UK punters. It's not even known if the smartphone will be available on a pay-as-you-go basis.
But if O2's iPhone 3GS pricing structure is anything to go by, then it's reasonable to assume that the Pré could be very, very expensive. ®
