A trappy finale in which most can be given some sort of chance. RIVALISTE would definitely have claims on his third to Dave's Dream off a higher mark at Cheltenham in November, though probably prefers a bit further nowadays. There will be a strong pace in this, however, so he gets a tentative vote ahead of Lease Lend, who is also probably better over further but did win over this trip at Wetherby on his penultimate start and has been successful here in the past, along with I'm Delilah and Silk Drum. Moon Over Miami is still capable on his day and should be in the firing-line again but Elite Land is now on a career-high mark after winning at Musselburgh and neither King Edmund nor Awesome George have shown much sparkle this term.

text: This bedroom was designed by Kira Krumm, one of my favorite designers. If I redo a bedroom, I want it to look similar to this. In the meantime, I can start with a lamp makeover. I noticed that the lighting was similar to something I have found locally. So guess who is having a super sale on their lamps? JC Penney's. I wasn't even aware they had so huge a selection. My favorite looks are here and are $79.99 each, marked down. Originally, you would have paid a few thousand if you bought the ones in the bedroom below. The lamps look as if they have a silver base, but the ones I found and like better are clear glass at JC Penney's, in Crossgates in Albany, at 456-0824

Wembley Stadium
26 May 2012
On Sky
HUDDERSFIELD TOWN and Sheffield united will battle it out for the last remaining place in next seasons Championship.
The Loser will suffer another season in League One and both teams will be going all out for victory in this Saturdays Play-Off Final at Wembley; 3pm kick off.
Town's appearance at Wembley is the sixth in their history and it was booked thanks to Jordan Rhodes' 40th goal of the season against the MK Dons. On the night Town lost 2-1 but progressed thanks to a 3-2 aggregate score line.
United striker Chris Porter scored his first goal in 17 games against Stevenage to send the Blades to Wembley.
Vital Quotes: Simon Grayson
We have been very relaxed this week; the atmosphere has been good. The players are very focused and it is important that they stay level-headed, but also enjoy the build-up to the Final,'
'We all know what is at stake and the players have worked hard on a few things on the training field. We have tried to play down the importance of the game, but that is a difficult thing to do. I am telling the players that it is like any other game and as a manager you have to do as much as you can to allow the players to concentrate on doing what they are good at.'
'When I experienced the Play-Offs as a player, the wait between the semi-final and the final was a long one and it was difficult to get the right balance of rest and training. We managed to give the players some time to rest and recuperate over the weekend, but since Tuesday they have been fully focused on the training field.'
'From the first leg we have tried to keep things low key and we told the players that they hadn't achieved anything yet - even after the second leg it was still the same case,' said Simon. 'I have tried to make sure that the players stay focused and are aware that only the teams that win at Wembley are remembered.'
'It will be a very tough game because I believe both teams are similarly matched. Both teams have got players who can win the game through an individual piece of play. We will be very positive in our approach as will Sheffield United, but we know what we can do to hurt them.
'I have come across Danny (Wilson) on many occasions and I have a lot of respect for him. He has done a good job at pretty much every club that he has been at and he has done very well at Sheffield United. I am sure he will be delighted to be in the final, but hopefully he will be disappointed come 5pm on Saturday.'
'A few of the players hadn't played in occasion like it before and I think some of them may have thought that all they had to do was turn up and they would win the game. This year they are against a very good Sheffield United side - one of the biggest clubs in the country when you look at their fan base - and we will probably go into the game as underdogs.
'All the players have got their own motivations but as a collective our motivation is to get the Club into the Championship. If the disappointment from last year drives certain players on then so be it, but our sole motivation as a team is promotion.'
'We have seen this season that when the big games come along he has responded. When we have come up against the top teams this season he has scored against most of them and obviously he thrived in the semi-final, scoring two goals. Hopefully he has got a few more in him for Saturday!
'He is one of the best goalscorers that I have worked with, but they come in many different forms. I think he is very similar to Jermaine Beckford, because he can do something out of nothing. Jordan is probably a little bit more composed than most of the strikers that I have worked with, which was highlighted in our last game against the Dons - most strikers would have snatched at the early chance he had, but he kept his composure and side-footed it past the 'keeper.
'We are not just a one man team though; Lee Novak has come to the forefront and scored goals as has the likes of Danny Ward and others. Jordan has taken a lot of the spotlight this season and I think it has benefited Lee. Teams have obviously focused a lot of their defensive work around Jordan and that has allowed the likes of Lee, Alan Lee and Kallum Higginbotham a little bit more freedom.'
Huddersfield Town Team News:
Scott Arfield has recovered from an ankle injury and is fit for selection.
Ian Bennett will be given until the last moment to prove his fitness, Alex Smithies is on standby.
Gary Naysmith is the only absentee as Grayson has an otherwise fully fit squad to choose from
Player to watch: Jordan Rhodes
All the talk is about the 40 goal hit man, can he shine on the grandest stage of them all on Saturday?
Sheffield United Team News:
Kevin McDonals is struggling with a hamstring injury but will be given until the last minute to prove his fitness.
Nick Montgomery is fit and looking for a starting place.
Richard Cresswell is expected to make the squad but may start from the bench
Player to watch: Stephen Quinn
The 25-year-old midfielder leads the assist charts at Bramall Lane with 15 to his name.
After the loss of Ched Evans, Quinn has found himself in a new role behind the striker - likely to be Chris Porter.
Match Facts & Stats
� This is the 99th competitive meeting between the sides over 99 years. Huddersfield lead by 38 wins to 26, with 34 drawn.
� This season's two league matches were won by the club playing away from home. Huddersfield won 3-0 at Bramall Lane in September, with a brace from Lee Novak, and one from Oscar Gobern; all in the first half.
� A fifth minute goal from Neill Collins gave Sheffield United a 1-0 triumph at the Galpharm in February.
� This is the first time the sides have met in the play-offs.
� It is the second Yorkshire derby in a play-off final. The first was at this level in 2008, when Doncaster beat Leeds 1-0, in front of 75,132.
Ref Watch:
Experienced Whistler Roger East will take charge of the npower league one play-off final 2012 between Huddersfield Town & Sheffield United. The Hampshire official has been on the League list since 2006 after previously serving as an assistant referee or linesman as they used to be called. East, has issued a total of 121 yellow cards this season and brandished the dreaded RED card 6 times. The last time East officiated a Town game was back in November in a 2-0 defeat to Charlton live on Sky Sports, a defeat that ended the unbeaten run. Now your asking when was the last time he officiated a Sheffield United Game? Well the answer was the following month in December as Sheffield United triumphed 2-0 at Bournemouth's Dean Court. His assistants will be Harry Lennard (East Sussex) and Matthew Wilkes (West Midlands). Fourth official is Danny McDermidd, from Hampshire, with Buckinghamshire`s Mark Scholes the reserve.
Match Prediction:
Im not going to make one today.
Next Fixtures:
League One fixtures or Championship fixtures for these pair.. just who will be where is anyones guess

1990 Jeep Comanche - Consumer Review

best small truck ever
By Jason L. on
Vehicle1990 Jeep Comanche Eliminator 2dr Regular Cab SB
ReviewI had a Jeep Comanche as my first car. Despite the fact it had obviously been badly cared for before I bought it, it was fairly reliable. I never had any problems with engine or transmission, but it consistently leaked power steering fluid despite multiple attempts to repair it. I really liked the power of the I6 4 liter engine; I was also impressed with the durability. When I swerved to miss a deer and went through a small (12 inch diameter) tree, the frame was undamaged (although the grill and bumper were destroyed) and the truck was fully drivable after I replaced the headlights. It lasted until the clutch slave cylinder went out, which requires the removal of the engine to replace.
Best FeaturesDurability, power.
Worst FeaturesClutch slave cylinder is too difficult to replace.

When it comes to finding success in the world of blogging, there is nothing better than having a mentor to guide you along the way. What we take for granted as established bloggers, would take a brand new bloggers hours, if not days to understand.
For instance… let's take the simple task of registering a domain name, setting up hosting and installing wordpress. I'm sure many of us with a blog already could do this in our sleep — however, do you remember the first time you had to go through this process? It was probably something like this…
- Why do I need a web host? Who is the best and cheapest?
- What type of domain should I get? Where to register it? Why are they all taken?
- How do I connect my domain name to my hosting?
- What is WordPress and how do I get it? WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org?
- I have a domain, hosting and WordPress… but now what?
It's probably quite funny to read through the questions above and think about when you went through this same process, but the truth is that hundreds if not thousands of new site owners and bloggers are going through these same questions everyday for the first time…. each of which costing them hours and hours of time on research, learning and comparisons.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and that's why I created the Blogging.org training course and community — to help bloggers and online marketers of all sizes, no matter what transition they are currently in. It's not only about having access to quality course material and saving time, but also about connections and getting to know the right people.
Just take a look at some of the people I'm now good friends with and have been able to meet as a result of having my own blog at ZacJohnson.com.
Once inside the Blogging.org members area, you instantly have access to the following:
- 8 Modules — Over 100+ training videos broken down into eight solid courses
- Video Directory — Extra bonus videos in addition to the 8 module course videos
- Private FB Group & Forum — Share experiences, ask questions and get full support
- Featured Experts — Exclusive interviews and tips with high profile bloggers.
Best of all, new content and courses are being added all the time and I always make sure I am active within the forum area and private Facebook group to help with any questions and support issues that might come up.
Top Bloggers Featured within Blogging.org
Earlier I was talking about the importance of having a mentor to help you along the way, and that's why I made sure to bring along some of my best friends in the industry and interview each of them to provide you with guidance in your journey.
I've profiled each of them below, along what they cover in their exclusive interviews.
Jeremy Schoemaker
One of the most well known marketing bloggers in the industry, Jeremy is most famous for his $132,994.97 Google Adsense check from one of his ringtone sites. Jeremy has since catapulted his success through the use of his ShoeMoney blog where he talks about everything about his business ventures, tips from industry friends and even how not to make money online with stupid ideas. In addition to the blog and Adsense success, Jeremy has created and sold various companies and is the CEO of his latest startup, PARProgram. In my exclusive interview with Jeremy, we discuss the many different ways to make money online and monetize blog content with Google Adsense, affiliate marketing and product creation.
Neil Patel
Working along side some of the largest brands on the internet, such as TechCrunch and icanhascheezburger, Neil Patel has helped propel many corporations and businesses to the massive size they are today. As one of the leading experts in content creation and SEO, Neil blogs at QuickSprout.com, while also running several of his other internet marketing and research based companies. During my interview with Neil we discuss best practices for creating blog content that people actually want to read and share with their audiences.
John Chow
If there was ever a blogger who was known for making money online, it would have to be John Chow — after all, he actually wrote the book "Make Money Online; by John Chow". John's famous for taking his blog from $0 to $40,000 per month in just a few months time and then scaling his blog to the seven figure a year business it is today. My discussion with John goes into great detail on how he uses mailing lists and autoresponders to create amazing sales funnels around his blog and business, which just continues to keep growing in size year after year.
Syed Balkhi
No matter what type of web site or blog you run, the money and long term success of your business is within your mailing list. Syed Balkhi is the co-creator of OptinMonster, a revolutionary WordPress application for increasing your mailing list through the use of interactive popup windows with exit-intent and split testing capabilities. In addition to the creation of OptinMonster, Syed also has over 1 million YouTube subscribers and a WordPress resource site at WpBeginner.com. Syed shares the best tips and tricks for increasing your mailing list size overnight while also giving exact tips on what type of headlines and incentives work best.
Ian Cleary
The world of social media is fast moving and covers a wide range of topics. This is something Ian Clearly knew all too well, so when he released his blog at RazorSocial.com, he knew he had to take a different approach. Instead of talking about "social media" in general, Ian only focuses on the best tool, tips and tricks for increasing user engagement through social media — the result is an award winning social media blog that provides a ton of value for blog, brands and businesses around the world. Ian shares his favorite tools, services and the exact steps he takes when writing a post and sending it out to all of his social media outlets.
John Rampton
Writers are some of the most powerful people in the world, especially ones that get to write on sites like Inc, Entrepreneur, Forbes and HuffingtonPost. John Rampton is one of these sought after writers and it's completely changed the way he's doing business and connecting with powerful blogs and brands on the internet today. The amazing thing about John's story is that he actually started out in PPC and SEO, but once he made the move to Silicon Valley, CA everything changed for the better. In my discussion with John we talk about the importance of building a reliable and trustworthy brand that gets media coverage while also discussing the importance of building real life connection outside of just online chat and email.
Spencer Haws
To rank in the search results you not only need to create high quality content, but you also need to focus on your niche and especially long tail keywords. Spencer Haws is the creator of Long Tail Pro, a software that I and thousands of other site owners and marketers use to research niche markets. In addition to his blog at NichePursuits.com, Spencer has his own portfolio of niche sites as well as other internet businesses on the site. During out one on one discussion, Spencer walks us through the process of how to find a quality niche while providing quality content for your exact audience and the many different ways to monetize your traffic in the process.
Kevin Muldoon
Every bloggers needs to have a good understanding of WordPress and those who actually become WordPress experts are very sought after for their services and knowledge. Kevin Muldoon is one of these experts and he's made a full time living off not only his own blogs, but also through writing about WordPress, creating and selling sites and also building out his own forums. In my discussion with Kevin we talk about the best WordPress plugins everyone should be using, along with how site owners and sell their online properties for 10-20x earnings.

The Toronto Blue Jays began their current seven-game trip riding a franchise-tying winning streak, but have struggled to simply win a game this week.
Looking to get back on track, the Blue Jays try to keep the AL East-leading Boston Red Sox from a fourth consecutive win Friday night.
Toronto (39-39) won 11 in a row before losing two of three at Tampa Bay, then was unable to recover after Boston (48-33) scored all its runs in the second inning of a 7-4 victory Thursday.
"You assume you're going to cool off a little bit. That's the way the game works," manager John Gibbons told the Blue Jays' official website. "But you can't have any reversed fortunes."
Dustin Pedroia's two-run homer off Chien-Ming Wang highlighted the big inning for the Red Sox, who have opened a nine-game homestand outscoring opponents 23-11 in three straight wins. They've won 13 of 17 at Fenway Park.
However, the Red Sox received a scare when Jon Lester left in the eighth inning with an apparent injury.
"I slipped a little bit. I guess the doctors were kind of calling it a little jammed hip, a type of zinging sensation down my leg.' Lester said.
"I'm not too worried about it. The doctors didn't seem worried about it."
The Red Sox are already minus nine-game winner Clay Buchholz, who continues to recover from a neck injury.
That means Allen Webster (0-2, 11.25 ERA) gets a second straight start, and third career, since he was recalled from the minors over the weekend. The right-hander needs to be better than Saturday when he gave up a first-inning grand slam to Victor Martinez and one other run in 4 1-3 innings of a 10-3 loss at Detroit.
"The four runs given back in the first set the tone for the entire evening,' Boston manager John Farrell said. "I think he settled down after the first inning and pitched OK.'
Toronto counters with Josh Johnson (1-2, 4.60), who pitched well for five innings then allowed four runs and couldn't get out of the seventh inning, but earned his first win as a Blue Jay in Sunday's 13-5 victory over Baltimore.
"Another good outing for him. That's one win," Gibbons said. "Getting on the board so you've got something to show for it always makes you feel good.'
The right-hander is making his first appearance at Fenway, but is 1-0 with a 3.15 ERA in three starts versus Boston. He gave up four runs and nine hits in six innings of a 6-4 loss to the Red Sox on April 5.
Pedroia, 2 for 5 with a double against Johnson, is 9 for 16 with six RBIs in four games since he batted .146 with four RBIs in the previous 11.
Teammate Jacoby Ellsbury has hit safely in eight straight games and .382 with 11 RBIs his last 25. He's in the midst of an 11-game hitting streak versus Toronto.
The Blue Jays' Edwin Encarnacion hit .350 with four homers and 12 RBIs during the 11-game winning streak, but since then is 2 for 15 with a solo homer in four contests.
Toronto put outfielder Melky Cabrera on the 15-day disabled list with left knee tendinitis after Thursday's loss and recalled infielder Munenori Kawasaki from Triple-A Buffalo. Kawasaki was sent down after Tuesday's game to make room on the roster for shortstop Jose Reyes.

Mariachi Gringo
"Mariachi Gringo" is less about one young man and his journey than a sheer celebration of Mexican culture – the food, the language, and especially the music.
Shawn Ashmore, best known for playing Iceman in the "X-Men" flicks, stars as Edward, an emotionally stunted man-child who's still looking for his place in life, even as his 30th birthday approaches. He's still living at home with his parents (Kate Burton and Tom Wopat) and barely employed at the Go Go Postal office shop. He takes medication and there's a suggestion of institutionalization in his past.
Then he bumps into an old mariachi singer at the local Mexican restaurant – probably the only one in Greenville, Kansas. Alberto (Fernando Becerril) has a strong voice and a good heart, and he takes Edward under his wing to teach him some songs.
When Alberto falls ill and the job at Go Go Postal dries up, Edward decides to head down to Guadalajara to try to make it as a mariachi singer. Never mind that he barely speaks any Spanish (he has learned the lyrics phonetically) and knows only a handful of the 3,000 songs a mariachi is expected to play from memory.
He gets a break when he meets Lilia (a vibrant Martha Higareda), a vivacious young woman who speaks English and helps run the restaurant across the street with her mother. The mother (Adriana Barraza) is suspicious of the odd American, but Lilia takes him under his wing and helps Edward realize his dream of playing in a Mariachi band.
Ashmore has a high, pure voice and a graceful, languid presence, and acquits himself remarkably well with the songs. Lila Downs also has a notable turn as Sophia, a female singer with a breathtakingly deep timbre who assists Edward in his career.
Director Tom Gustafson and screenwriter Cory James Krueckeberg paint a lovely portrait of the Mexican way of life. But I'm not sure if they set out with a clear vision of what they wanted to accomplish from a storytelling perspective. Once Edward starts to see some success as a gringo mariachi, the story thread comes unraveled.
There's a suggestion of romance with Lilia, but her previous romances were with women and she's not sure if she really wants to switch teams. The last half-hour or so of the film wanders, and the ending is problematic.
Still, if you're into gorgeous scenes of Mexican costumes and dancing, mouth-watering close-ups of food being prepared and served, and lots and lots of terrific mariachi music, this movie is for you.

'The Other Guys' Teaser Trailer
Someone at ShoWest snagged some footage of the new Adam McKay directed comedy The Other Guys starring Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell. I'm really digging how Marky Mark is the Cash to Ferrell's Tango. Sure, Wahlberg is playing another ramrod cop, but don't fix it if it ain't broke, yaknowwhatI'msayin'? And Ferrell wears glasses in this film, which I haven't seen him sport in awhile. As long as he doesn't do the whole man-child act again, I'll sit in another darkened theater with him. Here's some context for all you brainiacs:

At the pinnacle of her success, Olympic sprinter Marion Jones set records for female athletes, signed multimillion-dollar endorsement deals and adorned the covers of national magazines.
Vogue declared her "The New American Hero" in a cover story featuring Jones in a $2,000 designer dress.
But seven summers after her dominance of the Sydney Games, where she won a women's record five medals -- three of them gold -- Jones has disappeared from track and field. Her days of competitive glory have given way to suspicions of performance-enhancing drug use.
And now comes word that she's heavily in debt, fighting off court judgments and down to a bank account balance that could barely cover the tab for that Vogue designer dress.
According to recent court records, reviewed by The Times, Jones says that her millions of dollars are gone and that she has "total liquid assets throughout the world" of about $2,000.

Bagwell exits with soreness after two innings
Soreness hampers Bagwell
Second game in the field ends after two innings
Published 5:30 am, Wednesday, March 15, 2006
KISSIMMEE, FLA. - Jeff Bagwell is adamant that his fans shouldn't be alarmed.
Fighting to end his career on the field instead of as an insurance claim, the Astros icon downplayed his decision to exit after two innings Tuesday night at the Ballpark at Disney.
Initially scheduled to play four innings in his second game at first base this spring, Bagwell visited manager Phil Garner hours before the first pitch against the Atlanta Braves to say his right shoulder was sore and stiff.
Bagwell, 37, played two innings in the field and went 1-for-2 with a strikeout and a hard grounder into the hole at short for an infield single in the third inning of the Astros' 7-5 victory.
"He was sore before the game," Garner said. "We decided to go ahead and give it a go, but he was sore. So we took him out. ... I was just pushing him to what he could tolerate. He felt tight and sore, so there was no sense in pushing him."
Bagwell did not make a throw in the field. He had served as a designated hitter all spring until he played four innings at first base Saturday in his first game in the field since May 3, 2005. He didn't make a throw Saturday, either.
"From playing four innings the other day, it's just like a deep sore right now," Bagwell said. "It was just no sense in me going out there and keep throwing. It doesn't do anybody any good. If I'm going to do this thing and try to come back and play, then I've got to be a little smart. As we've talked about before, this is a little early for me to be in a game and doing this kind of stuff.
"I've got to protect my interests a little bit as far as I want to keep giving it a shot. The best thing for us right now is I got my two innings, got my two at-bats. I'll try again on probably (Friday)."
Bagwell, the Astros' all-time leader in home runs and RBIs, has been dogged by a degenerative right shoulder condition since 2001. He played through right shoulder pain until last May and underwent surgery in June.
Each spring training since the 2002 camp, Bagwell has worked his shoulder into shape with little scrutiny. This year is different. On the recommendation of two doctors, the Astros deemed Bagwell a disabled player and filed an insurance claim in January to recoup $15.6 million of the $17 million he is set to earn this year in the final season of his contract.
Bagwell arrived in camp hoping to prove he's not a disabled player.
"Like I've told (the media) before when I came down here every single spring (since 2002) I've had this point when I'm like, 'What am I doing here? I can't do this anymore,' " Bagwell said. "And yet it comes back and heals itself. The only problem now is that everybody kind of is, with good reason, looking (and probably saying), 'Oh, gosh, there's something wrong with him.'
"It's not something I'm concerned with as far as it affecting my hitting. Obviously if you're tight and sore it doesn't feel good no matter what you do. That's why we decided it's enough for tonight and we'll go the next time."
Bagwell's status is being monitored closely this spring by Astros trainers Dave Labossiere and Rex Jones. Astros physician Dr. David Lintner also is monitoring the situation with daily contact with the training staff, general manager Tim Purpura said.
Tuesday night was too early for Purpura to assess what Bagwell's departure meant.
"It's like any situation, you kind of evaluate it every day and see where he stands," Purpura said. "Our doctors are basically in daily communication with our trainers. We do have an orthopedic fellow who is here with the club. I'm sure he'll pass along his information to Dr. Lintner. These things you just take day by day.
"You see where you stand at the end of the day and you make a plan for the next day. In Jeff's case that's what we've said all along. You put a plan together of what you'd like them to do, but the plan is going to have to be flexible depending on how he feels. Here he was supposed to go four innings tonight. We were hoping to get him through that, and he couldn't do it. We'll have to see how he feels tomorrow and make some decisions from there."
Bagwell won't be in the lineup today when the New York Yankees visit the Astros at Osceola County Stadium. Like the rest of the veterans of his status, he never was scheduled to take the two-hour bus ride west Thursday to face the Yankees in Tampa.
The Astros will return to the Ballpark at Disney on Friday to play the Braves, and Bagwell hopes to be on that short trip. The Astros will be off Monday, and Bagwell is adamant that his fans don't have to worry unless he has to pull himself out early after the day off.
Until then, he says, his early exit shouldn't be considered major news.
"If after the off day and I'm playing two innings and came out of the game, then there's a story," he said. "Right now it's just, 'Jeff Bagwell has his normal soreness and decided not to push it anymore.' "
Everett back in actionShortstop Adam Everett , who had an injection of anti-inflammatory medication to relieve pain on his back's facet joints Friday in Houston, played Tuesday for the first time since his back flared up.
Everett didn't seem hampered by the back as he went into the hole to field Edgar Renteria's grounder and make the throw across the diamond for the second out of the first inning of the Astros' 7-5 victory over the Braves.
"He made a nice play," manager Phil Garner said of Everett. "We all by consensus over there — a couple of the coaches — decided there are very few people that are going to make that play."
Everett also threw out Matt Diaz for the final out of the inning and committed an error in the third inning when he bobbled Renteria's grounder to short
"I felt OK," Everett said. "I still feel a little off out there. That's just going to come with some rest."
Third-base coach Doug Mansolino, who also coaches the infielders, assures Everett that he's not too far behind.
"I was talking to Manso and he said, 'It's good you feel off right now because we don't want you peaking too early.' "
More from OswaltRoy Oswalt was pleased after giving up six hits and three runs (one earned) with five strikeouts over five innings.
For the first time this spring, Oswalt used his entire repertoire. Before Tuesday, he had focused on his two main pitches, the fastball and curveball. He added his slider and changeup Tuesday.
"All my pitches were working pretty well," he said. "I threw some balls that I probably wouldn't throw in the season in certain counts, but overall I felt pretty well.
"The slider actually felt pretty well."
Solid pitchingManager Phil Garner was pleased with his pitchers Tuesday. Lefthander Trever Miller followed Roy Oswalt and gave up two runs over one inning. Chad Qualls pitched a scoreless inning, and Ezequiel Astacio added two scoreless innings. Astacio held the Braves to one walk and one hit with one strikeout to earn the victory.
"Roy (Oswalt) threw good," Garner said. "Zeke settled in the second inning and threw the ball a little better, with a little crispness. Trever Miller threw the ball better than numbers will show."
Winning isn't everythingThe Astros improved to 5-8 on Tuesday, but Phil Garner hasn't been too concerned about the National League champions' poor record this spring.
"The only thing that matters is that somebody's going to win the games, so why can't we win them," he said. "I don't like to be 4-8 (before Tuesday night). But to try to maneuver to pinch-hit, to pull guys out, to play guys to try to win the game is not what I'm trying to do.
"The first objective is to get our veterans in shape. The second objective is to try to answer some of our questions, a backup catcher, fifth starter, bullpen guy and anybody else that might fit in the ballclub that could impress us. But you're playing the game, so you might as well win it."
Coming upLefthander Andy Pettitte will make his Grapefruit League debut today at Osceola County Stadium against his former team, the New York Yankees. Righthander Steve Sparks , lefthander Mike Gallo , and righthander Juan Gutierrez also are scheduled to pitch for the Astros.
Righthander Mike Mussina is scheduled to start for the Yankees. The game will be televised by ESPN.

Newtown girls rebound with win over New Fairfield
Published 11:51 pm, Tuesday, January 28, 2014
NEWTOWN -- The Newtown High girls basketball team took a pretty good beating Monday nigh, but got right back at it and delivered one of their own on Tuesday.
Mali Klorczyk scored 19 points and the Nighthawks hit nine 3-pointers in a 54-34 victory over New Fairfield in a South-West Conference matchup.
"They came out really tough tonight," New Fairfield coach Joe Russo said.
"We didn't do a good job covering their 3-point shooters, and we just didn't come out good defensively from the get go."
The game was tied 12-12 after he first quarter but that was about as good as it was going to get for New Fairfield (9-5, 6-3 SouthWest Conference).
The Rebels went cold in the second quarter while the Nighthawks got hot, especially from beyond the arc.
Newtown went box-and-one on New Fairfield's Kate Broderick and it worked.
Aside from a few moments in the first quarter, the Rebels looked tentative on offense and no one could step up in place of Broderick, who was limited to four points, all came the first half.
"They played a box-and-one on Kate and it was supposed to disrupt her but it seemed to throw everyone off," Russo said. "We had some good looks but we didn't make them and then it kind of snowballed on us from there."
It snowballed into a 16-6 advantage for Newtown in the second quarter and a 28-18 lead at the break.
Unlike some other games this season, Newtown did not let New Fairfield back in it and kept adding to the lead in the second half.
"Sarah Lynch was just phenomenal defensively tonight," Newtown coach Jeremy O'Connell said. "She did a great job on Kate Broderick, who is one of the best players in out league. And then we had everyone on the court helping out tonight."
Klorczyk hit a 3 to end the third to put the Nighthawks up 38-25, and then she started the fourth with another 3-pointer to push the lead to 41-25.
New Fairfield never threatened from there, and Russo subbed out all five of his starters with about 2:30 to play.
"I was really impressed with out effort, our intensity and being able to finish a game off," O'Connell said. "We have had a couple games where we built leads and kind of let them get away. Tonight we did not let that happen."
It was an all-around strong effort for Newtown, which was coming off a 60-34 loss at defending Class M state champ Cromwell on Monday night. Instead of dwelling on the loss, the Nighthawks came out focused and turned in one of their best performances of the season.
"Tonight was a great stepping stone for us," O'Connell said. "We have a young team and we have been going through some growing pains, but we are starting to turn the corner. I really like this team. They came back from last night and were ready to play and I am just really proud of them."
Newtown 54,
New Fairfield 34
Emily Farrell 2 4-4 9, Bridget Zima 1 3-5 5, Kate Broderick 1 2-2 4, Erin Carter 3 0-0 8, Jordan O'Connor 3 0-1 6, Morgan Ruby 1 0-2 2. Totals: 11 9-16 34.
Mali Klorczyk 7 1-2 19, Haley Ryan 1 0-0 3, Cassie Ekstrom 6 1-1 16, Sarah Lynch 2 0-2 5, Kelly Merrick 2 1-1 5, Mary Jo Rossi 1 2-4 4, Michaela Nowacki 1 0-0 2. Totals: 20 5-10 54.
3-pointers: NF--Carter 2, Farrell; Nt--Klorczyk 4, Ekstrom 3, Ryan, Lynch.

Share this story
It was a very uneventful drive through the Sugar lands of Florida. Pictures soon.
I gave her 1/2 throttle in second gear this morning and she urned sideways on me in a flash, it seems like this turbo spools up much faster than the old one. The power pours on fast and hard.
I did a stint along the Northeast side of the lake where I was doing 90-100 on empty roads with no one in sight.
Most of the time I was cruising along at 70-80 MPH, on very empty roads.
The little towns along the west side of the lake (Moore Haven, Lakeport and Buckhead Ridge) were pretty rough little towns, although Buckhead had a peculiar charm to it as I rode through it.
It was very cool this morning but, as I got back into Stuart it warmed up nice enough to roll both windows down and open the sunroof.
The car ran like a champ, my only concern the whole drive was the oil pressure seemed high, but then I remembered I was running 20/50 in it now so that is probably contributing to the added pressure.
I have to check the mileage but I am heading towards the home stretch. I hope to be doing some more street tuning with my mechanic / friend next weekend.

IBM Cloud Unveils New Features and Growing Momentum for Open Serverless Platform
Santander Group and others look to IBM Bluemix OpenWhisk to tap the benefits and flexibility of an open serverless platform
Dec 14, 2016
ARMONK, N.Y., Dec. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced companies across a range of industries, including one of the world's top banks, Santander Group, are designing and testing new apps with Bluemix OpenWhisk, IBM's event-driven and open serverless computing platform. IBM is also releasing new OpenWhisk features designed to help developers rapidly debug code, more tightly integrate with third party tools, and adopt a broader range of programming languages.
IBM is expanding and tightening integrations with the growing ecosystem surrounding OpenWhisk, which offers an open, non-proprietary engine. By building OpenWhisk with open standards from the ground up and rooting its code in active developer communities, such as Apache, IBM aims to grow the range of capabilities developers can instantly access. An open serverless platform also provides freedom to choose where apps can run.
Available on Bluemix, IBM's cloud platform, OpenWhisk acts as an underlying force within apps, binding together relevant events and triggers, such as the uploading of an image or the clicking of a mouse. When triggered by such events, OpenWhisk automatically taps advanced cloud services as needed, such as cognitive intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), analytics and more. This design essentially renders traditional cloud infrastructure invisible, enabling developers to focus on writing code instead of configuring servers.
Global organizations and startups turning to OpenWhisk
Santander Group, one of the world's top banks by market capitalization with 12,500 branches in its 10 core markets throughout Europe and the Americas, has chosen a serverless model, and OpenWhisk in particular, to help speed and optimize its digital banking.
"Microservices and containers are changing the way we build apps, but because of serverless, we can take that transformation even further," said Luis Enriquez, Head of Platform Engineering and Architecture at Santander Group. "OpenWhisk provides the instant infrastructure we need for intense tasks and unexpected peaks in workload, and is a key building block as we move to a real-time and event-driven architecture."
SiteSpirit, a Netherlands-based software development firm, is one of the many startups using OpenWhisk. The company has already fully moved and deployed its MediaSpirit tool, which manages large amounts of data, onto the serverless platform. Combined with cloud data services on Bluemix, OpenWhisk has enabled SiteSpirit to begin moving its customers to serverless models, helping them to roll out advanced, cloud-based data analytics with minimal infrastructure concerns, optimized utilization, automatic scaling and flexible programming.
Other companies exploring OpenWhisk include:
"As an early adopter of serverless computing and OpenWhisk in particular, we've been able to architect our data ingestion pipeline with tremendous levels of speed and intelligence," said Michael Bishop, CTO of LogitBot. "OpenWhisk's on-demand model, combined with ease of access to cloud technologies, has allowed us to reliably and effortlessly scale."
OpenWhisk rolls out new features and tighter ecosystem integrations
Since the launch of OpenWhisk on Bluemix, IBM has continued to add new features for developers. With the general availability of OpenWhisk, these services include:
"Developers are turning to the cloud for efficiency, but they also want choice," said Bill Karpovich, general manager, IBM Cloud. "Since we've built OpenWhisk with open standards, it's able to not only help resolve many problems associated with server management, but also gives developers the flexibility to pull in outside tools and data and run code wherever they choose."
Bluemix, IBM's cloud platform, has grown rapidly to become one of the largest open, public cloud deployments in the world.

Restaurateur Jason Jones is upfront about where he got the idea for his latest restaurant Entrecôte, which has just opened in Melbourne's South Yarra. "I've been travelling to Paris for many years and one of my favourite restaurants there is Le Relais de L'Entrecôte," he says. The legendary restaurant chain in Paris serves just one dish: steak frites. Diners are offered two servings of the steak, smothered in a pepper sauce, and the French fries are unlimited. "It opened in 1959 and just serves one dish and I loved it and thought it would work in the Australian market," Jones says. The Australian Entrecôte serves up exactly the same menu for a set price of $39, and Jones's team spent eight months trying to replicate Le Relais De L'Entrecôte's sauce.

By mid-2015 the Obama presidency will be entering its final stages, and the race among the successors in both parties will be well underway. And while experts have already formed a provisional understanding of the Obama administration's foreign policy goals, the shape of the "Obama Doctrine" is finally coming into full view. It has been consistently cautious since Obama was inaugurated in 2009, but recent events in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and the Far East have led an increasingly large number of foreign policy experts to conclude that caution has transformed into weakness.
In The Obama Doctrine, Colin Dueck analyzes and explains what the Obama Doctrine in foreign policy actually is and maps out the competing visions on offer from the Republican Party. Dueck, a leading scholar of US foreign policy, contends it is now becoming clear that Obama's policy of international retrenchment is in large part a function of his emphasis on achieving domestic policy goals. There have been some successes in the approach, but there have also been costs. For instance, much of the world no longer trusts the US to exert its will in international politics, and America's adversaries overseas have asserted themselves with increasing frequency.
The Republican Party will target these perceived weaknesses in the 2016 presidential campaign and develop competing counterdoctrines in the process. Dueck explains that within the Republican Party, there are two basic impulses vying with each other: neo-isolationism and forceful internationalism. Dueck subdivides each impulse into the specific agenda of the various factions within the party: Tea Party nationalism, neoconservatism, conservative internationalism, and neoisolationism. He favors a realistic but forceful US internationalism and sees the willingness to disengage from the world by some elements of the party as dangerous. After dissecting the various strands, he articulates an agenda of forward-leaning American realism - that is, a policy in which the US engages with the world and is willing to use threats of force for realist ends.
The Obama Doctrine not only provides a sharp appraisal of foreign policy in the Obama era; it lays out an alternative approach to marshaling American power that will help shape the foreign policy debate in the run-up to the 2016 elections.

- Panasonic Unveils Autonomous Wheelchair (News)
- [2017.02.14] Read in: 日本語 | العربية | Русский |
Tokyo, Feb. 13 (Jiji Press)—Panasonic unveiled on Monday an electric wheelchair that can move autonomously after users give it a destination via a smartphone application.
The wheelchair, designed for use by elderly and disabled people at airports and other facilities, will avoid colliding with obstacles and pedestrians by utilizing sensors. It can come to pick up users when called and move with sensor-equipped luggage carts and other wheelchairs in tow.

Police chief asks for curfew renewal
Published 7:00 pm, Thursday, April 22, 2010
The Plainview City Council on Tuesday will consider renewing the juvenile curfew currently in place.
Police Chief Will Mull said the curfew is a tool used by officers to help curb juvenile crime.
The curfew is from midnight to 6 a.m. for those under age 17. Juveniles are not to be on public property, whether in a car or on foot, between those hours. A first offense may result in a warning, while subsequent offenses could result in citations to the youth and their parents.
Fewer cases of criminal mischief, theft and burglary of businesses were reported in 2009 — when the current curfew was first enacted — than in 2008. Also, there were 258 juvenile arrests in 2009 compared to 317 in 2008.
The curfew gives police probable cause to stop and check on youth during curfew hours, Mull said. Police do not stop youth in residential areas unless someone calls, but officers do stop youth in parking lots, on streets, in parks and other public areas.
Exceptions to the curfew include parental permission to be out late, school activities and going to or from work.
Mull recommended the council renew the current curfew.
The council also will consider authorizing Mayor John C. Anderson to sign an interlocal contract of purchase between Plainview and Hale Center for the sale of a street sweeper.
The City of Hale Center had asked about buying one of Plainview's street sweepers that was not being used because of mechanical problems. However, cities cannot take cash for such transactions, so an interlocal contract was drawn up, Director of Public Works Mike Gilliland said.
Under the contract, Hale Center will own the street sweeper and assume all liability for it, but Plainview will have access to the machine if it is ever needed. Hale Center will not pay money for the machine, but it will probably need to spend about $10,000 to repair it, officials estimated.
Also, the council will take action on the second reading of an ordinance transferring one fire/EMS department employee from the rank of firefighter to equipment operator.
Finally, the council will go into closed session for appointments to the Unger Memorial Library Board and the city attorney evaluation.
Tuesday's meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. in council chambers at city hall.

As anyone who's played a modern video game can attest, better graphics don't necessarily make for a better game. What happens when you remove the graphics entirely? Word Games is Playboy.com's column on text adventures both classic and contemporary.
Video games are always evolving. They're getting better all the time, technically and artistically. That's a sentiment I hear pretty often. There is certainly a measure of truth it, but progress is slow and there's no denying there exists a plethora of topics that games just don't know how to handle, like PTSD, class warfare or even something as mundane as sex. Developers, on the whole, appear to still be deathly afraid of putting anything sexual in their games that goes beyond pin-up men and women to be gazed at from afar, characters that lack agency, presented as objects of lust and little more.
This isn't to say there aren't large-scale games that incorporate sex and relationships. BioWare is renowned for creating games with sprawling, customizable stories where the player can become romantically entangled with other characters. Yet even Mass Effect and Dragon Age, often heralded as top-tier interactive storytelling, approach sexual relationships in a rather simplistic manner: tell the character what they want to hear, do a list of chores, maybe give them a few gifts, and they'll be fully DTF (down to, well, you know).
The simplicity of that design, and its pervasiveness in game series that garner critical acclaim for how they present sexuality, betrays how bad games are at portraying complicated concepts like sexual relationships. As Katherine Cross recently wrote on Gamasutra: "This is not to dismiss the hard work and often superb writing (in the case of Dragon Age) that frames all of this, of course, nor is it to deny the technical limitations that often force developers into these tried and true models. Like violence as an idiom of progress, vending machine romance is just easier to design for. But there are other vistas we can begin exploring."
Fortunately that exploration has already begun. In that same piece, Cross goes on to praise Twine games—which are often mostly, if not entirely, text-based—as one of the few kinds of games that explore the complexity of sexuality in an interesting way: "most Twine games, by their very nature, rely heavily on text in order to immerse the player in their particular ludic experiences. This is, in so many ways, the ideal medium for capturing sex's interiority."
In Cara Ellison's Twine game Sacrilege, you play a woman in a nightclub ready to initiate a "fuckplan." You have a choice of four men. The protagonist already knows all of them and gives you her opinion about each of them. For example, Mark is described like this:
Ellison's writing here is great because it not only tells us about Mark's attractive aloofness, it also tells us about the protagonist herself, letting us know that she has moments of doubt—more than moments, perhaps—about her charms and talents. Continue to try and pick up Mark and you'll be met with warnings every step of the way. A crying woman whose heart he broke, a friend urging you to turn back; but maybe you go on. Maybe Mark isn't such a bad guy. Maybe the game will reward you for your persistence (as games often do). Joke's on you: turns out he's really a prick. You jump immediately back to the "fuckplan" selection screen with the protagonist reassuring herself that the night is young and she looks hot in her dress.
These little moments, with Ellison revealing her heroine's thoughts, and the destination where they all ultimately lead, amount to a neat little complexity that isn't often seen in big budget games. In something like Mass Effect, the onus is on us to figure out how our blank slate character internally handles their interactions with other characters, how they deal with rejection or, in happier circumstances, acceptance. Furthermore, successfully initiated relationships in such games are almost always a happy affair, with both the protagonist and the love interest in a loving, stable relationship (unless the player chooses to break things off).
Nice. Clean. Simple. We're in control of this fantasy. There is no fighting, no bottled resentment or jealousy, no disappointment—the relationships just work like magic. Ellison sharply steers us away from that kind of tidiness, for in Sacrilege, the only victories are the hollow kind.
Choose the guy you don't really have any attraction to and feel your avatar's disappointment. Or, when a second chance presents itself, go to bed with Mark only to feel shame in the morning. There's also the man who reveals he's married after some passionate sex on a staircase, but perhaps worst of all is the man who won't sleep with you because he knows you've slept with his friend, which culminates in a horrifying scene where the protagonist sees barcodes running up and down her arms. "You are a container," Ellison writes, "Just an object/passed around." This ending results in a feeling of powerlessness and isolation, an awareness that you are being imprisoned by a culture that imposes different standards on you because you're a woman being upfront about your sexual desires. When I asked Ellison about the sense of powerlessness prevalent in her game, she told me this:
"There was an interesting period around the Deus Ex, Thief golden era, in which games, even big budget games, really did experiment with powerlessness a lot more, and how power negotiations can make games more interesting. There are quite a few games that approach this in an interesting way—Teleglitch, Tomb Raider, Papers, Please, Gone Home, Redshirt. But I think that a lot of the demographic that people try to market to are purely interested in becoming heroes through violence and so it becomes about dominance and aggression over your environment rather than a comment on relationships between people—although sports games are sometimes an interesting difference on this point.
"Although I also like violent games too, I think it's time we started to innovate a little more on the power relations and relationships front. Games are a powerful medium in which to investigate systems of power and most game narratives are concerned with already brutal people just becoming a lot more brutal. Try being a brutally hot lady who can't get some in a club, I guess?"
Ellison's work does not stand alone in its presentation of sexuality as a complex issue. Soha Kareem's reProgram is a text game concerned with a character recuperating from sexual abuse-related PTSD and is, to use Ellison's adjective, brutally honest while also hopeful. Merritt Kopas has made fascinating games centered around sexual consent and kinky violence, like Consensual Torture Simulator and the short and succinctly named Super Consent!. Nina Freeman's Cibele is about, as [Polygon] describes it, "teenagers, sex and selfies." These are games that commit to exploring sex (its joys, it tragedies, its anxieties) in great detail instead of just making it a A Thing You Can Do while saving the galaxy.
It's difficult not to be disappointed that year after year developers make great strides in devising more and more impressive ways to kill virtual people but still don't know how—or don't want to try—to capture the complexity of sexuality in their games. Again, there is progress, of course, a little. Last year's Dragon Age: Inquisition altered Bioware's relationship formula slightly, making it easier for you to screw up with characters, and by having some characters make it clear that they're just not interested in you sexually if the character you've shaped for yourself just isn't their type.
Still, Inquisition is a strong example of the "vending machine" design Cross discusses in her article: do whatever quests the character asks you to do and you'll likely be able have a sexual relationship with them. This is unfortunate because that design limits what sexuality can be in a game. Sometimes sex isn't a reward; it's about trying to defy crushing loneliness, or it's a self esteem booster, or it's a horror story about escaping the things that have we have done or the things that have been done to us. Sex can be just as malleable and powerful thematically as violence and the moment that more developers get comfortable playing around with that theme in ways that aren't contrived, games will be better for it. For now though, it's text adventures like Sacrilege and the others I mentioned above leading the charge.
Javy Gwaltney devotes his time to writing about these videogame things when he isn't teaching or cobbling together a novel. You can follow the trail of pizza crumbs to his Twitter or his website.

Rene - posted on 10/10/2016 ( 2 moms have responded )
My daughters dad left our daughter alone with a 15 year old boy an entire night and I'm concerned for her safety. She was open about the fact that she was alone with this boy but it seems as tho something happened as she seems very taken with this boy. I'm concerned that her father has exposed her to a situation that she is not ready or matured for. I'm also concerned that something may already have happened as I got her school friend who told me that she was waiting for my daughter to tell her something important that happened over the weekend. I just need to know how to approach this with her and her father without ostracizing or creating animosity between myself and my daughter and her father. I am angry at him or exposing her like that and at the same time don't want her to feel she cannot talk to or trust me.
So I'm appealing to all the moms out there who have experienced this to give me some guidance on how to deal with her and her dad who co parents with me.

My new downtown spot!!! This place is great and I maybe the target audience...I got 6 delicious bean pies and couldn't help but smile at the fact that now...right downtown in Chicago everyone has the chance to try this wonderful creation. Plus I stocked up on my incense and went home happy and resolved to shop each week!
This is a well stocked grocery store with tons of supplements. However, I've been disappointed with their food selection. I've gotten at least two expired items there by accident (the second time I realized it before I paid for it), and I had a vegan cookie from there that was rock solid (maybe it had expired as well...). The grooming products are a little better, but not much. I purchased a deodorant there and when I got home and opened it, I found it was all dried up. Not good.
Upstairs, they have a little cafe where you can get vegetarian food and smoothies. I ordered a veggie burger here and I was disappointed to find that it was just a microwaved boca burger.
I wouldn't recommend it, unless you are downtown already and absolutely need something.
This place sucks. I debated giving it two stars, if only because it's the only vegetarian restaurant downtown, but I don't want this place on the front lines of what vegan and vegetarian food represents.
For one thing, the cafe portion looks like a church basement, and a dirty one at that. Floors are scuffed, there are boxes everywhere, the tables aren't wiped, and the kitchen area looks miserable.
They offer different pre-made daily specials (the day I went they had a fried rice dish, along with some kind of panini), none of which can be modified.
We ordered off of the regular menu (which is confusing and doesn't label what's vegan). We had a veggie burger ($5) and also a vegetable burrito ($5). Both were awful. The veggie burger was a Boca patty that they literally microwaved in front of me and then slapped on a bun. The "burrito" was a cold, clammy piece of tortilla with soggy, steamed vegetables. No salt, no spices, no seasoning of any kind.
The service was terrible: unfriendly; disorganized; and slow.
I recommend staying away from Kramer's if you enjoy the taste of food, or if you're looking for a good vegetarian/vegan experience. This one would turn you off immediately. Go to Karyn's on Green in Greektown instead.

Hello again
Is there some way to automatically fill the fields "Lease" (bolean) and "Lease Return Date" on CIs whenever there is a related object from type "Contract" with the category "Lease" connected with it?
My intention should be obvious: reduce data redundancy by avoiding entering the same information twice.
I've been trying to do it with Business Logic but maybe I'm missing something here.
Thanks for your answers
