Peter Moylan (1-0) pitched three scoreless innings for his first major league win. Bob Wickman finished with a one-hit ninth and has yet to allow a run in 9 2-3 innings.
Florida's Cody Ross doubled and homered to drive in five runs, all off starter Mark Redman.
The Braves scored four runs in the first and four in the ninth. Brian McCann put Atlanta ahead to stay in the sixth with a sacrifice fly off Matt Lindstrom (0-1).
That made it 7-6. Pinch-hitter Pete Orr singled home two runs in the ninth, and Kelly Johnson and Edgar Renteria followed with RBI singles.
Atlanta's Jeff Francoeur drove home two runs with a double and a single, giving him 18 two-out RBIs this season.
Redman failed to hold leads of 4-0 and 6-4. He allowed seven hits and six runs in three innings, hiking his ERA to 10.13 in four starts.
But Florida had one hit over the final 5 1-3 innings against Moylan, Tyler Yates, Rafael Soriano and Wickman. The Braves' bullpen improved to 6-0.
Marlins rookie starter Rick Vanden Hurk gave up six runs in one-plus inning and may soon be headed back to Double-A. His ERA rose to 12.75 in four appearances.
Vanden Hurk was within a strike of escaping the first without allowing a run, but he then gave up four consecutive hits and four runs. Andruw Jones' RBI single came on a two-out, 3-2 pitch. Francoeur doubled home a run on a 2-2 pitch. Scott Thorman followed with a two-run single on a 1-2 pitch.

While music genres like rock n' roll have always been reverential of historical artists and bands, hip-hop has been less inclined to embrace nostalgia. Hip-hop has always been about that new new. Sometimes you'll listen to a rap radio station and they'll play a track labeled as a throwback and think, "Didn't that song come out like eight months ago?"
Still, the 90s will always be viewed as the golden age of hip-hop, the era of Tribe, Biggie, Tupac, and Wu-Tang. Many artists of that time have moved on, some are no longer with us, and others transitioned to new pursuits. Not De La Soul. Since their seminal debut album 3 Feet High And Rising came out in 1989, Maseo, Pos, and Dave have continued making music together as a group and pushing themselves creatively and evolving. When the group wanted to put out an album last spring, they didn't do what they would've done in the 90s (i.e. look for a major label to back it), they took to Kickstarter and the campaign was an enormous success. De La Soul set a goal of $110,000—and ended up raising $600,829—becoming the second most-funded campaign in Kickstarter's history.
Now that album, titled And The Anonymous Nobody, is set to release this August. It will have a diverse list of features that only De La Soul could pull off like David Byrne, 2 Chainz, Estelle, and Snoop Dogg. They also played at this past weekend's Governors Ball to a crowd that definitely didn't view them as the "old school" act on the bill. Before their performance, we caught up with Maseo, Dave, and Pos following a roundtable discussion with the electronic music duo The Knocks that was hosted by Bacardi. On a balcony overlooking Williamsburg, Brooklyn, De La Soul discussed their approach to the new album, their trendsetting style influence, and their famous Nike SB Dunk.
What should fans expect from the new album?
MASEO: Good shit, awesome fucking music. [laughs]
DAVE: Pretty much. This album is definitely about the music. Not theme, not any song, but the actual music. We sat in a studio with the Rhythm Roots All-Stars out of L.A. They were our house band on tour for many years. We basically let those guys jam with a little direction. We did that for over 200 hours and recorded it for two years. Then we took about a year to listen to that stuff and pull samples and tidbits out to create songs.
That's not the way you'd record a typical rap album.
POS: It was this amazing journey. We were thinking about bands that we sample from and love and we realized that this was how things happened for them. They would just do these great jam sessions and sections of the jam session became the record. Usually we would have music produced by ourselves or outside producers and then you would imagine what you could do to this track that's already been given to you, as opposed to now having the ability with these musicians to create and create and create however you want.
Were you blown away by the success of the Kickstarter campaign to support the album?
DAVE: That was overwhelming and refreshing.
MASEO: It was scary.
DAVE: Before that button was pressed to begin, it was scary because you didn't know who was out there, who was interested, who was going to put their money up.
POS: We were vulnerable. This could not work and we'll look old school. We'll look unwanted.
DAVE: But the support was tremendous and humbling. People wanted this music. They believed in our concept going. People got it and that was a good feeling.
You guys have had an enormous influence, not just with your music, but with your style. Was that a conscious decision as you were coming up?
POS: It grew and grew. We were no different than any kid growing up in our neighborhoods wanting to have the gold chain like Run-DMC or the Nikes that KRS One wore. We wanted to look good but we were interested in trying different things to do it. Dave would be like, 'Let's take our father's old pants that were bell bottoms but straight leg them. Then they'll look how Lee's look, but the patterns will be different.' We kept going further and further with it, like let's cut different things in our hair. We were around an environment that accepted it and allowed us to keep going. You can see it with someone like Andre 3000 who had regular sneakers on his first album and grew visually with how he wanted to express himself. When your friends accept how you look and allow you to be you, it just makes you want to venture out a little bit more and try different things.
What is it like for you to see every 90s act coming back, even some of the bad ones?
DAVE: You giggle off the fact that you didn't break when people said, 'you guys are corny' or 'why would you wear that?' More than just fashion, there was a time when we could've done commercials or TV or things like that and it was like no, don't do that. That's selling out. Now everyone's trying to get their own TV show or extend their brand and be down with a car company. I'm glad people didn't have to experience some of the things that we experienced, the pressure of not doing something that could've been interesting and beneficial because of pressure of what other people would think. It's nice seeing young kids enter this world and not be afraid of doing things because someone says it's not cool.
POS: That Fresh Prince show, when they were trying to put together the concept, they pitched it to us. We didn't want to do it because it sounded corny.
To do the theme song?
DAVE: No, to do the show. To read the script, be a part of the show.
POS: I could've been married to Jada! [laughs]
Your Nike SB Dunk is a legendary sneaker. How did that project come about?
POS: We were out in San Diego, and LRG, which was a company that we knew, wanted us to come by [their trade show booth]. We went and walked around and saw the Nike SB booth. A gentleman named Robbie Jeffers was working with Nike SB and was a big De La fan and asked, 'Would you be interested in doing a Nike SB De La dunk?' The rest is history.
The sneaker also stands out because it's one of the rare ones that has been reissued, right?
DAVE: I believe they did the Tiffany Dunk over and there might have been one other. But it was nice to know that they wanted to revisit it, not only because it would be lucrative, but because it was a nice sneaker. Getting the opportunity to revisit it 10 years later and do an anniversary Dunk felt good.
Are you big sneakerheads?
POS: I love sneakers.
MASEO: To a degree.
DAVE: We're not super crazy.
You came up in the era where you still had to hunt for unique sneakers. Do you feel that has changed?
POS: Yeah. We would be on the road and be in Japan and come across something that was so amazing and you knew you could come home and no one else would have it. Now it's just: push a button and everyone's got what you have. That definitely killed the ability to one-up someone.
Why do you think hip-hop plays such a big role in fashion?
DAVE: Hip-hop is super huge so why not? At the same time I think people are realizing that not only do we want to get A$AP Rocky to wear our clothing because he's cool in the hood, but A$AP Rocky actually has design and fashion sense and maybe he can be a part of our team and create a shirt or a pair of pants. These kids are talented. They have the ability to be more than just the face of a company. I'm hoping that's why designers are entrusting these artists.
MASEO: We're also in the era of designers who grew up off hip-hop, so they have a different sensibility because [hip-hop] was a part of their lifestyle when they were aspiring to be a designer.
Who are the artists that you see picking things up where you left off from a style perspective?
POS: The usual suspects, Kendrick, J. Cole, or even Odd Future. Believe it or not, I think Migos is like De La Soul. That energy of trying to be different is there.
DAVE: I agree. It might not be what you run to iTunes to purchase but you can identify in a group like Migos and that they want to be different. They want to challenge what's happening. It might be in the vein of what's happening but they're a little left of center. Mase always brings up Chance The Rapper and Schoolboy Q who are doing more than glorifying being wealthy or being a gangster, people who are trying to put more creativity in the game. They exist. They're still out there.

Family building its own traditions
Herald Staff Writer
Published 6:00 pm, Thursday, December 25, 2008
By TOMMY YOUNG
Herald Staff Writer
Eight-year old Grayson Moore and his 5-year-old sister McKayleigh may not have had a lot of Christmases to remember, but their parents Chris and Teresa Moore are trying to build memories for their children that will last for a long time.
Through their jobs at Wayland Baptist University the family has access to the school's cabin at Glorietta Conference Center in New Mexico.
The family was lucky enough to be able to procure the coveted Christmas dates for a vacation last year.
The Moores packed up the weekend before Christmas day and took the five-hour trek to the mountains.
Grayson admitted the car trip was long and somewhat tedious, "but it was worth it," he proclaimed gleefully.
The youngsters were a bit apprehensive about whether Santa would be able to find them if they weren't home on Christmas Eve.
So once the family reached their destination, they sat down and wrote Santa a note telling him they were going to be at the cabin.
Chris said he and the children made sure there was plenty of room for the jolly old elf to make his way down the chimney.
Presents not withstanding, the Moores wanted their children to be able to get away from the regular routine.
"We wanted them to be able to experience snow and the mountains and be able to get away from here," Chris said.
"I want them to be able to enjoy some of what I experienced getting to grow up in the mountains," said Teresa who spent her formative years in Ruidoso.
Teresa thought the time away from the regular schedule and routine would allow time for them to, "Just learn how to be a family again."
Without the distractions of television and cell phones the Moores were able to experience a more relaxed atmosphere. They took their own food and took lots of movies and board games to pass the time.
One of the activities most meaningful to the family was making their own Christmas ornaments.
Before heading to New Mexico, Teresa went to a crafts store and bought kits for making plaster ornaments.
After Chris poured the plaster of Paris into the molds, the family made several holiday-shaped ornaments and painted them by hand.
McKayleigh was especially impressed by her first star ornament that was multicolored. The Moores were able to take advantage of the good snowfall and very different terrain to have some fun.
The family was able to walk right off the porch of the cabin and do some sledding and tubing down the hillside.
"After I watched them do it two or three times then I wasn't as scared and did it too," said McKayleigh whose sophistication far exceeds that of other 5-year-olds.
The family also went to the Angel Fire ski resort during the vacation and did some tubing on the slopes there.
Grayson recounts how Chris' inattention turned into more frivolity.
"Dad wasn't hanging on to me and we went off this big ramp and when we came down I crashed into the snow."
Chris said he did have hold of Grayson but the jarring impact is what dislodged his passenger.
Grayson also remembered the food associated with the vacation. He remembers the "boy's only" trip to Santa Fe to eat at Pascual's.
Chris noted Pascual is the Patron Saint of Kitchens and it is obvious why the restaurant chose the name.
"It is really good," Grayson said.
Chris said the Durango Breakfast Omelet is the absolute house specialty.
The family also observed one of their holiday culinary traditions; making rice pudding on Christmas Eve.
"We do it every Christmas and New Year's eve," said Teresa. "We did it the first year we were married and have done it ever since."
McKayleigh had the idea to wrap up the family vacation in one of the most appropriate ways possible.
"We held hands and sang 'Jingle Bells,' " she said with a smile.
"It was her idea for us to get around the Christmas tree and sing a song before we left," Teresa said.
While the family wasn't able to get Christmas for this year's vacation, the Moores are going to get to return to the cabin during the break.
"Even if it's not Glorietta, we want to make getting to the mountains a family tradition," Chris said.

TWO community radio station are aiming to start the new year by securing time on the airwaves.
Bosses at Radio Northumberland, which was established in January 2012, are currently applying for a full-time five year FM Community Licence from OfCom.
And fellow radio station Synergy are hoping to secure another 28-day broadcasting licence after securing £4,000 in grants.
Radio Northumberland, based in Bedlington, has been running as a full time on-line community radio station since January 2012.
Stewart Allen, station manager, said: "We operate a central schedule of local news with the News Post Leader, music and local information.
"Local people can get involved with a poem, story, feature, one-off show or a regular commitment.
"There is a wide variety of shows from Punk to the Owld Record Club of 1940/50s music, which we also distribute to a couple of local old people's homes.
"We have broadcast many hours of local music and live buskers nights and have '15 minutes of fame' where local talent can be showcased."
The radio station has also been involved in a number of events including Morpeth Fair, Bedlington Olympic Torch Relay, Chilli-Fest and their Isabella Community Christmas Fair and the Christmas Fair at Seaton Delaval Hall.
They also include non-league football in their sport coverage, with both Bedlington Terriers and Blyth Spartans matches covered live.
Mr Allen added: "Most importantly we have grown the number of local people involved in radio. We have done all this with very little money and the hard work of our volunteers."
To listen to the radio station, visit www.radionorthumberland.com
Elsewhere, Synergy radio station received a yuletide gift thanks to £1,000 from the Co-op's Community Fund and £3,000 from the Sir James Knott Trust.
South Northumberland Radio Group, the organisation behind the broadcasting project, organised a successful four weeks of live programming – which included contributions from numerous community groups – on air for listeners in south east Northumberland in March 2012.
The Bedlington-based station chairman Colin Heathcote said: "Receiving the two grants just before Christmas was a real tonic.
"Fundraising in the current difficult financial climate is very hard with so many voluntary groups and charities chasing an ever-diminishing pot of money.
"We have built a tremendous support base which is reflected by the wide variety of local and regional funders, and listeners here and overseas, who believe in what we are trying to achieve: a genuinely accessible community radio station that will provide the type of broadcasting service the area's residents deserve.
"We look forward to adding to our funding total in 2013 when we hope to achieve not only a second successful Ofcom-approved restricted service licence broadcast on FM and on-line, but also progress on plans for a five-year full-time licence."

"Those who have knowledge, don't predict. Those who predict, don't have knowledge," the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu said over 1,500 years ago. While the ancient father of Taoism was able to acknowledge the utter unpredictability of life, the modern world, especially the financial one, is overflowing with forecasts, as well as the fears that often go with them.
While many on Wall Street are currently frozen with uncertainty until the ongoing government shutdown and debt ceiling battle are resolved, money manager Andrew Wellington, chief investment officer at Lyrical Partners, isn't one of them.
"Sorry to disappoint you," Wellington says in the attached video, "there's just nothing we can do about it. At some point it will get resolved and I think six months after that people are going to be worried about whatever the next thing is, and whatever is going on now will be largely irrelevant."
So much for Washington's claim of being the world's axis of influence!
Related: Default Countdown: Don't Let Fear Control Your Money, Says Lutz
What's better than Wellington's grounded embrace of reality is the fact that he is kicking the manure out of his peers and comfortably beating a market that's been on a four-and-a-half year tear. Not by convincing himself that he is smarter than everyone else and can see things others don't, but by sticking to his knitting and not getting distracted by the noise.
"You have to make sure the stocks that you own are largely immune to the consequences of what's going on down there," he says, before quantifying himself slightly. "The government is far reaching so nothing is perfectly immune."
He begins his quest for companies by asking himself the following rhetorical (almost Taoist) question. "What would you want to own if you had absolutely no idea what is going to happen to the world over the next five years?"
Specifically, the manager of the Lyrical U.S. Equity Value Fund says he looks to find businesses that can adjust to surprises and lower their costs or raise prices as needed. But these companies also have to be cheap too, because part of Wellington's stock picking success comes from buying good companies that are also at good prices.
In doing so, he is essentially protecting himself from his own prognostication, or mistakes in his own forecasting.
"Anytime you have forecasts, you're going to be wrong," he says, noting that investors need to make sure they get a nice discount to allow a margin of error "so when you get a few things wrong it can still be a decent investment."

I searched for a good compromise between A/V and stereo performance. Arcam claimed the lead in this aspect, but prices are exaggerated. Therefore I took the plunge and I chose this Marantz receiver. And I have not been disappointed, making use of the bi-amping feature in this device, plus pure direct mode, gives you very satisfactory musical qualities, clear vocals and clear orchestrations, which is not easy to find in an A/V receiver.

Is the City of Dallas Pushing away Food Trucks?
The girls over at Good Karma Kitchen have laid it all out for me. The City of Dallas only permits mobile vending trucks that were originally built as catering vehicles. If you buy a converted vehicle, say an old UPS truck, and you bring it up to meet all specifications to a catering truck, you will still not be permitted. Several new operators are finding out the hard way that their used trucks will not pass inspection in Dallas, so they're moving on to the next place: Ft. Worth.
I don't know the ins and outs of city regulations, but it strikes me as odd that one health department's policies vary so greatly to those of neighboring cities like Ft. Worth, Austin & Houston. Gina of Crazy Sisters has run into that exact problem; her vehicle is permitted in Tarrant County but Dallas is slamming her with two-bit modifications to her truck. When adding them all up, she doesn't think it's worth it to come to Dallas at this time. Scott of SoCal Tacos is facing the same situation-the used catering truck he bought in New Braunfels won't pass Dallas inspection, but he can take it to Ft. Worth with ease.
Yet another operator, Comfort Food on Wheels was advised by the California manufacturer of his truck not to even bother coming to Dallas because of restrictions. Now Comfy Foods is considering a move to Cowtown.
Not only are the truck requirements exacting, take a look at the Operational Requirements as outlined by the City:
"An itinerary must be provided for each vehicle prior to the first business day of each month.
The Health Department must be advised of any changes immediately. Schedules/Stops must
be accurate to within 30 minutes. The name, address and telephone number of the owner of
the premises must be provided. A description of the food to be sold or served at each premise
must accompany the itinerary."
I say Dallas needs to come up to speed with the other metropolitan areas, otherwise they will discourage new business...a business that is experiencing a huge tidal wave across the country. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!

What a great post! Just a quick note from the Good Karma Kitchen team....we gotta give a shout out to SolCalTaco, Nammi, CrazySisters and some seriously cool trucks in DC and Austin for helping us navigate the permitting process! Everything we know is thanks to incredible food truck camaraderie!!!! You guys rock!ReplyDelete
Awesome post! shows why Mint Leaf Frozen Yogurt won't be in D-town either.ReplyDelete
This is really too bad. Dallas needs to pull its collective head out. Big D has a chance to be a great city...they just need to get out of their own way.ReplyDelete
I've been doing research on the food trucks for a paper I'm writing. Trying to figure out how Tarrant county states the trucks can only be at a place for 1 hour at a time and time restrictions for not working past certain hours. Yet I see trucks with dedicated locations open until 3am. Any info would greatly be appreciated!ReplyDelete
Really this is a good post. You have shared your thoughts and knowledge about Catering Truck Manufacturers here. Hope people will get their answer after reading this blog.ReplyDelete

text: Home > Global Filipino Filipino staff rattled by Daly City shooting By Rommel Conclara, ABS-CBN North America News Bureau Posted at Apr 25 2014 01:24 PM | Updated as of Apr 25 2014 09:24 PM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn DALY CITY, California – It was a day of chaos and terror for some Filipinos in Northern California's Little Manila after an 84-year-old patient allegedly fired a shot inside the Serramonte Medical Dental building on Wednesday. Filipino health care staff working in the building heard the gunshot fired around 1:30 p.m. "The doctor saw the man with the gun and he ran out and the shooting was behind him but luckily it missed him," said Maria Armas, a Filipino healthcare staff. After 3 p.m., SWAT officers surrounded the building and searched for the gunman while escorting people out to safety. Filipinos who live nearby said they were shocked this happened in their neighborhood. "I was pretty surprised. They actually called out the SWAT team here and if they call the SWAT team, then it's pretty serious," said Alex Clemente who lives a block up from the medical building. Southgate resident Francis Reyes described the incident as something which he only sees on the news. "But for it to happen in your own neighborhood just causes an alert to the folks. There's a preschool nearby right behind my mom's work. And I heard a lady that children are still in the preschool. I hope they're okay. It's pretty crazy that it's happening on your own street," said Reyes. Police searched room to room for the suspect identified as Raymond Iwase. The suspect was reportedly a disgruntled patient who allegedly targeted Dr. Kevin Wong, an internist. Police arrested Iwase without incident at his Daly City home later that evening. Authorities found a gun and ammunition inside his home though it is not clear whether it was the same firearm allegedly used at the medical building. Iwase is currently held at the San Mateo County Jail under suspicion of attempted murder. No court dates have been set.

On the whole the new DOM specification seems to be a great improvement, but I'm sorry to see the DTD stuff go. My group has been spending the last several months building a large document-processing application using the DOM as its basis; we had to make several extensions to the core to get it to handle generic SGML. I think it's very important to be able to represent _any_ SGML document using the DOM core. The reason for this is simple: if any SGML document can be represented by the core, extending the DOM for specific document types (e.g. HTML) becomes a convenience rather than a necessity. (And by the way, this appears to be why the core is now sufficient to represent XML.) It would mean that _any_ document would be representable without having to create a new, extended API for it, and would make it much easier to produce SGML-to-XML conversion utilities (for example). The main missing node type, I believe, is Declaration. A few more specific notes: o There is no type-safe way to convert a Node to any of its major subclasses. The newly-added nodeName, nodeValue, and attributes attributes help a great deal, but it would be good to have conversion methods as well. We have, e.g., "asElement", which returns the node if it is an Element, null otherwise. This is _much_ more efficient than casting, which involves run-time type checking in Java. o I'm very sorry to see NodeIterator, TreeIterator, and their create methods disappear. It's easier to create iterators when you know the type (and hence the implementation details) of the objects you're iterating over; the resulting type-specific iterator can much more efficient than a generic one, and its class need not be exposed to the programmer. o If the nodeName of an Element is the tagname, why do you need the getTagName method? (One possible justification is for HTMLElement, where the tag name is supposed to be returned in uppercase.) o There doesn't seem to be any way to distinguish an HTMLCollection indexed by name from one indexed by ID. In any case, shouldn't the item and namedItem methods return HTMLElement rather than Node? o This is closely related to the more generic problem of NamedNodeMap not permitting what the specification calls `aliasing'. You probably need both NamedNodeMap and a more generic associative array. o Making the parent of an Attribute refer to the Element that contains it is almost certainly a mistake when coupled with the idea that the value of the attribute is its children. We tried it. The problem is that when an attribute has a default value, you have to copy the entire tree from the DTD to each Element where the attribute appears. The best solution would be to return the effective value of an Attribute as a NodeList rather than as a wstring. o A similar (but worse) problem occurs with EntityReference. o Because of the previous two problems, it would be best if there were two different ways of getting a node's value: as a wstring and as a NodeList. (Perhaps two attributes: nodeValue (the NodeList) and nodeData (the String). This would even make sense for Text; the nodelist could have character entity references unexpanded, which would significantly simplify output conversion of Text nodes.) Finally, I note that there are no comments in the Java bindings. While this is well-optimized for the appendix to the specification, it would be best if the compiled version (javabindings.zip) had the comments, so that JavaDoc and other documentation-extraction and source-code-browsing software could make use of them. -- Stephen R.

Dining Out: Mint Leaf tweaks tradition
Published 4:00 am, Wednesday, June 18, 2008
Mint Leaf, the sit-down restaurant in Berkeley's Epicurious Garden food hall, is proof to restaurateurs that going back to your roots can sometimes pay off big time.
The industrial-chic venue with brick walls and a black open-duct ceiling started life a little over two years ago as Taste, named for its automated wine dispensers. It had a couple of false starts, but now has found its groove.
Not that the food was ever bad. Well-respected consulting chef Mark Lusardi got things off in style, succeeded by Garret Martindale (formerly at the Carnelian Room). Other chefs followed, but their efforts were stymied by an awkward space arrangement and service glitches (in a '06 review, we rated the food as three-star, the service 1 1/2).

Khana Peena owners
Eventually, Taste's owners, the five Aggarwal brothers who have built their North Berkeley Khana Peena restaurant into a successful small empire, decided a 180-degree turnaround was in order. They shuttered Taste, renamed it, did a minor remodel, retaining the wine automats and, alas, the very small square tables, but removing the misplaced bar in back and adding a few ethnic decor touches. From menu to staff, the venue is now all-Indian.
They also adjusted the price level. Dinner entrees now range from the mid- to high teens rather than the 20s, and lunch and late-night prices are delightfully anti-inflationary.
Now, business is brisk as diners enjoy a distinct option to the fare of neighboring Gourmet Ghetto eating meccas (Cesar and Chez Panisse are next door).
Dinners might start with excellent lightly charred naan (plain, $2.50; stuffed, $3.95), seasonal Indian vegetable salad ($5) and a couple of soups ($5), including vegetarian Bengali Brahmin soup, one of the few items that packed decisive heat. For most dishes, diners can request the desired heat level.
Two Western-leaning appetizers intriguingly accented with Indian spices come from the grill ($5 each): asparagus with cashew cream sauce, and marinated portobellos with cashew/coconut tamarind sauce. Traditional samosas with two sauces ($4, spinach, potato and paneer filling; $5 with chicken) were doughy and rather dull on one visit, deliciously crispy on another. Vegetable pakora ($4) is excellent.
Biryani, the all-in-one rice dish, makes a good light dinner ($10.95 vegetarian; $12.95-$16.95 with chicken, lamb or seafood), its heat tamed by raita.
The same goes for entrees from the tandoor (clay oven), priced $16.95-$18.95. For an overview, order the copious Mint Leaf mix grill ($19.95), a sampling of tandoori seafood, lamb and chicken.
Varied vegetarian choices
Don't look for beef on this menu, but Mint Leaf is a haven for vegetarians, with six entrees ($13.95-$14.95) of as much variety as enjoyed by carnivores, who can choose from about a dozen lamb, chicken and seafood preparations ($14.95-$18.95).
Alert staffers know the menu well and can steer guests in the proper direction. For those adverse to assertive spiciness, chicken makhan masala ($15.95) in its gentle yogurt sauce is a top choice.
Thali lunches that include naan, rice, chutney, raita and chana masala plus a choice of vegetable, chicken or lamb entrees and end with a very sweet, oddly sauce-like rice pudding, range from $6.95 to $8.95. Night-time dessert options ($5) include saffron-cardamom accented kulfi and gulab, India's version of doughnut holes, in a light syrup.
Late-night specials
Mint Leaf also woos budget watchers late at night (starting at 9 p.m. Monday-Thursday; 10 p.m.-midnight Friday-Saturday), when small portions of regular entrees are $5 - which is also the price of a nightcap glass of wine.
Wine director Greg Estes has done a fine job of finding wines that complement Indian fare and don't break the bank. Bottles range from $24 to $38 (less for retail sale, which is also offered), and per glass prices from $7 to $8.50. The biodynamically produced 2007 Robert Sinskey Vin Gris of Pinot Noir from Carneros is a perfect example of a wine that curries favor with flavors of cardamom, ginger, tamarind and, of course, mint leaves.

Taking a page from history can add depth and significance to wedding festivities, especially when the bride and groom adapt traditions to suit their own event.
Taking a page from history can add depth and significance to wedding festivities, especially when the bride and groom adapt traditions to suit their own event.
There's no richer heritage from which to borrow than the 19th century's Victorian era, when lushness and abundance were the hallmarks of the day. Many of these charming rituals can be continued today, says wedding and event coordinator Emily A. P. Cox, owner of p.cox productions in Central Point
"You can imagine how your great-great-grandparents had something similar that can be carried on," says Cox, recalling a couple who adorned their wedding cake with a topper that had been in every family wedding since time immemorial.
"It's a thread that really connects the generations."
Another couple tapped into Victorian tradition to bridge their respective families' cultural differences: She was a freewheeling Pacific Northwesterner, and he came from a very conservative Southern background, where genteel wedding traditions are still observed.
One such tradition is the groom's cake. In Victorian times, it was de rigueur for a dark, rum cake to be baked just for the groom. To add her own touch, this 21st-century bride had the baker create a groom's cake in the shape of Herbie the Slug Bug, one of the couple's private jokes.
"There's another cute, Southern tradition called 'pulling the strings,' " says Cox. Based on a Victorian ritual of baking charms into the wedding cake, this couple tied strings to each charm then invited each female cousin to pull a string before the cake was cut.
"At the end, they each had a little, special charm, and the story goes that the charm you pull is what you'll have in abundance." (Think a ring for future marriage, horseshoe for luck, etc.)
Don't despair if your family doesn't have a Victorian pedigree. Many traditions are adaptable to any ceremony and reception. Here are a few to ponder.
Timing. Victorian brides were allotted the responsibility of choosing the date and time for the wedding ceremony. Fridays, the 13th of any month and the entire month of May generally were avoided due to superstitions. Any time between 10:30 a.m. and 9 p.m. was considered acceptable, but the most fashionable brides chose high noon.
Trousseau. It was never too early to start collecting a wardrobe for the honeymoon and thereafter — all provided by the bride's parents. Gowns for traveling, shopping, visiting and "at home" were expected; lingerie was delicately labeled with the bride's embroidered initials or first name. Don't forget undergarments, belts, ribbons and sewing notions; at least two dozen handkerchiefs; and a full range of household and bedroom linens and towels.
Wedding wardrobe. We've all heard the Victorian rhyme about what a bride should wear at her wedding:
Something old,
Something new,
Something borrowed,
Something blue,
And a sixpence (or a new dime for Americans) in the shoe.
The rhyme is more than just a clever guideline for clothing; each line had a deeper meaning. Something "old" belonged to a happily married woman so as to transfer that joy to the bride. "New" referred to the gown, shoes or other apparel that were purchased or made especially for the bride. An object of gold "borrowed" by the bride ensured good fortune while "blue" symbolized true love. The coin — always worn in the heel of the left shoe — was the key to wealth.
White was the color of choice for formal, Victorian wedding gowns; any color but red or black (believed to conjure witchery and demons) was acceptable at informal weddings. A veil — first introduced to Europe by returning Crusaders who witnessed veiled brides in foreign lands — was worn as a sign of purity and innocence.
With this "rynge." Christianity was the source for placing the ring on the third finger of the left hand, as the thumb and first two fingers of the hand were said by the church to stand for the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, respectively. The fourth finger was reserved for earthly love and the hope of reaching heaven.
To secure the covenant, the groom would pledge to his bride: "With this rynge I thee wed, and this gold and silver I thee give, and with my body I thee worship and with all my worldly chattels I thee endow."
Such are some of the lingering vestiges of Victorian wedding traditions. Have fun and adapt a few into your own ceremony.
Just don't get married in March, when brides were believed to be haughty, indiscreet and argumentative!

A Delta airlines flight from New York to Tampa made a rough landing after the front landing gear did not fully extend.
Flight number 2391 landed on its nose safety on Runway 19R around 10.35 PM local time, Federal Aviation Administration reports. The nose and the wheel door scraped the tarmac, forcing crews to tow the MD88 aircraft to a gate.
None of the Delta Airlines flight's 147 passengers were injured during the landing, said Tampa airport spokeswoman Janet Zink.
The plane – an McDonnell Douglas MD-80 (MD-81, MD-82, MD-83, MD-87, and MD-88) is a short- to medium-range, single-aisle jet that can accommodate from 130 up to 172 passengers.
The MD-80 series was introduced into commercial service on October 10, 1980 by Swissair – is still in service but is out of production as McDonnell Douglas merged with its rival, Boeing, in 1997.
As of November 2009, the MD-80 series has been involved in 60 incidents, including 27 hull-loss accidents, with 1,177 fatalities.

Your Money in the News -- Financial Firsts
By Jun 28, 2013-
What happened in the news this week that affects how you live and invest? Funny you should ask. Here's a highly curated (read: extremely subjective) list of stories about financial milestones for the week of June 24.
- Chinese companies dropped out of the ranks of the world's 10 biggest stocks by market value for the first time since 2006 amid a cash crunch, slower growth and the biggest U.S. stock rally in a decade. (6/27)
- European Union governments and lawmakers reached agreement on the bloc's seven-year budget, as the economic crisis forced the first spending cuts in EU history. (6/27)
- For the first time since August, junk bonds are trading below par amid speculation that companies will have a harder time meeting debt payments as the Federal Reserve prepares to reduce its extraordinary stimulus measures and China reins in its shadow-banking system. (6/27)
- Illinois had to turn away buyers from a $1.3 billion sale of general-obligation bonds even after lawmakers failed twice in the past month to fix the nation's weakest state pension system. Investors can have confidence that the lowest-rated U.S. state won't default for the first time since the 1840s, said Marc Joffe, principal consultant at San Francisco-based Public Sector Credit Solutions. (6/26)
- Apple Inc. (AAPL) dipped below $400 for the first time since April as a glut of unsold iPhones prompted Jefferies & Co. to lower its target price, and Global Equities Research said low morale is causing employee departures. The shares have declined 24 percent this year, compared with a 10 percent gain in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. (6/24)

This week's Gameday play animation for the Washington Post details one variant of the Denver Broncos' "Wild Horses" formation. The play shown is based on Knowshon Moreno's 12-yard run against the Patriots in Week 5 -- the first time the Broncos broke out their own particular Wildcat. When Denver runs it, you'll see quarterback Kyle Orton motion from wide left to shotgun or under center from time to time. The Dolphins haven't tried that one yet.
3 comments, Last at 15 Nov 2009, 12:57pm by Doug Farrar
"You're dangerous 'cause you're honest
You're dangerous, you don't know what you want..."
Didn't the Dolphins use that motion to under center with pennington at some point last year?
I just feel like I've seen it.
Not that I saw. Occasionally, they'd have Pennington slide in from wide right after the snap and after Ricky Williams took the sweep right. Williams would pitch the ball to Pennington, who would throw downfield to the flex guy. They hit the Texans for a touchdown off of that last year. But I remember seeing them trying it with Chad Henne last week, and Henne got blasted by Adalius Thomas.
Do defenses really wear out over the course of a game? Do defenses benefit from long drives that give them more time to rest on the sideline? Guest columnist Ben Baldwin investigates.

It was a normal day when I grabbed my sketchpad and began to doodle. What came out were scribbles of a horrible little creature: the Shark Cat. The initial design was based on the thresher shark. I found that the short face and extremely large eyes worked well with the cat aesthetic. However, as I kept sketching, I noticed that almost any shark species could be adapted.
I took the opportunity to explore gouache a bit more and turned them into a bit of a series. I compiled the paintings into a desktop calendar that I sold at the beginning of the year. The calendar will not be reprinted but all 12 Shark Cats have been compiled into a large format print for sale through INPRNT.

Bull! A History of the Boom, 1982-1999
(Critical Survey of Contemporary Fiction)
Maggie Mahar recognizes nine stock market cycles of bear markets alternating with bull markets since 1882—the last being the down cycle starting in 1999. Although other commentators view market-timing as a speculative technique, she believes that successful investors—even those like Warren Buffett who stress stock valuation—actually profit by correctly timing when to buy and sell stock. Mahar is skeptical of the popular 1990's investment strategy of buying and holding growth stocks indefinitely. Using hindsight, she notes that United States Treasury bonds purchased in 1996 would have increased by 78 percent by March, 2003, while an investment in the stock market index earned half as much.
The author concentrates primarily on the years between 1982 and 1999, enlivening her coverage of business history and economic theory by focusing on people involved in the stock market. She also narrates the experiences of investors, from billionaire Buffett, to housewives speculating on stocks, and workers newly expected to manage retirement accounts.
Mahar is scathing in her description of the way market professionals misled unskilled investors. Greedy executives used complacent company directors to enrich themselves with lavish stock options that diluted shareholder's equity. Creative accountants deceived investors by recording non-existent profits. Mutual fund managers, needing to produce continual growth to keep their jobs, helped inflate the bubble by concentrating on the same high-flying stocks. Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, though skeptical early in the boom, later supported the bubble by pouring money into the economy. Financial journalists uncritically announced a new economic era. Throughout the period, Wall Street promoters profited regardless of the merits of the merchandise they sold.
This well-written and informative history entertains the reader, and includes ideas investors can use to examine their long-term financial strategy.

Juneau police announced this week that it will not be hosting the annual Junior Police Academy this summer due to staffing shortages.
Police explained that when school let out earlier this month, the school resource officers were moved to the understaffed dispatch unit to help out there.
Those school resource officers are the ones who run the academy, and they couldn't be two places at once, police stated on their website in an "Ask a Dispatcher" posting.
The reassignment of those officers is actually part of a new strategy to cross-train police officers from different divisions to help out the dispatch unit, which answers 911 calls and dispatches police and fire units where they need to go.
The idea is for police officers to be trained in a dispatch position then work there for a few months. After that, officers will be able to pick up overtime shifts in dispatch, or fill in during a staffing emergency.
"This is a new idea for JPD but (it) does happen in other areas," the statement read. "Our own chief had a dispatch rotation in his prior department."
The new strategy is supposed to help JPD "turn the tide" so that both experienced dispatchers and new hires, who regularly work 60 hours a week, aren't being overworked and are more likely to stay.
Dispatchers frequently get burned out by the long hours and demanding schedules, and the turnover rate was staggering, police said.
Juneau Police Department administrative manager Cindee Brown-Mills, who oversees the communication center, told the Empire in an earlier interview that the dispatch unit has been chronically understaffed for about the past 10 years.
The Communication Center provides communication services for the police and fire departments as well as other city, state and federal agencies. It has to be staffed 24 hours a day with a minimum of two dispatchers in the center at all times.
Once more officers are trained to help in dispatch and more dispatchers are hired, JPD plans on hosting programs like the Junior Police Academy again.
"We are all keeping our fingers crossed for next summer," the statement said.

What on Earth is CineZoo?
CineZoo is a monthly event in which filmmakers meet with other filmmakers to be inspired. CineZoo hosts professional filmmakers who are out there doing what they do best, and puts them together with those who want to learn more about the filmmaking process. CineZoo provides a forum for filmmakers to learn, be inspired and supported. It is also a showcase of the latest talent, gadgets and happenings within the Wellington film community. Beyond the event itself is a website, blog and forum in which filmmakers can continue to share and discuss all things film! CineZoo aims to be the future of Wellington's film community.
Our First Event
We are proud to be hosting Matt and Jason Stutter on the 22nd of November at the Paramount Theatre in Wellington city. The two brothers have been making films for years, Jason directing and Matt based primarily in sound engineering. Jason has just recently released his feature film, Predicament starring internationally acclaimed comedian Jemaine Clement. Jason is also known for his successful shorts such as "Be Careful With That Axe". This CineZoo event will cut past all the bs that filmmaking often has caught up with it and get to the heart of just getting out there and making films. This is going to be a great 1st event for CineZoo, and will kick off the future of Wellington's film community meet ups. Be in at the start of something great, and join us on the 22nd of November!

We recently checked out the student films at the 12th Sydney Film School Festival and Cameron presented the Outstanding Performance Award which StarNow sponsors.
The award goes to both an actor and the director who worked together to create an outstanding performance. Sydney Film School Tutors judged the award and the winners were: Claire Fearon for her amazing performance in 'Tree of Hurt' and Karan Shrestha who did a fantastic job directing Claire. Both Claire and Karan receive $500 from StarNow.
There were a lot of amazing short films and documentaries and we were impressed by the quality of them.

Lark in the Park enjoyed its most successful family fun day yet as the event raised almost £3,000 for the charity.
The annual fundraiser took place at the end of last month in Seaside and proved to be bigger and better than ever, with a record £2,800 being raised for Lark in the Park's charitable trust.
The event featured stalls from local businesses, bric-a-brac and a raffle, as well as entertainment from local band Recycled Skiffle Group, Stix Drummers, Sea Gypsies belly dancers and Graham Batchelor leading the disco.
The weekend was officially opened by BBC presenter Sylvie Blackmore and Chris Difford from the band Squeeze also made a special guest appearance on the Sunday. Eastbourne Mayor Cllr Janet Coles also attended the event to support for the good cause.
On Saturday, the event also hosted the ever-popular Bark in the Park, where pet owners could enter their dogs into competitions for just £1 per pooch. There were 15 classes, including waggiest tail, handsomest dog, best rescue and best in show. 'Bark in the Park' was sponsored by Chase Vets, Paws and Claws Pet Services, Cobbydog and Fish4Dog.
Lark in the Park Charitable Trust began in 1999 and helps local youngsters between the ages of five and 25 who have special needs and disabilities. Lark in the Park owns a static caravan that they allow families to use for a short break, free of rental charges. Stephanie's House is an eight-berth caravan situated at the Combe Haven Holiday Park, near Hastings - a site that boasts a swimming pool, arcades, an adventure playground and a sport and entertainment complex.
Currently, the charity are trying to raise enough money to build a ramp at Stephanie's House, which would cost around £1,700.
For more information or to make a donation to Lark in the Park's Charitable Trust, visit the website at www.larkintheparkcharity.org.uk or call 01323 438743.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — "Like an earthquake rocking a house, the 2008 global financial crisis exposed a shaky new foundation underpinning Western economies," warns Pimco's CEO Mohamed El-Erian, in the latest Foreign Policy journal.
Unemployment and inequality has "heaped social unrest atop financial turmoil," spreading uncertainty, volatility and lower market returns that Pimco labeled the New Normal a few years ago.
Flash forward: "Something has changed" as this economic crisis has gone on far too long without a political solution: Instability has morphed into "vicious feedback loops that turned bad economics into bad politics" that's now recycling, converting "bad politics into even worse economics, further threatening an already tenuous economic future ... welcome to the New New Normal."
The core problem? Washington's "inability to deal with the aftermath of a huge wave of excessive debt creation and credit entitlement gone crazy ... But where politicians ... act ponderously, markets don't. They move at much faster speeds ... so as the New Normal morphs into the New New Normal, the economic and financial system risks breakages that the political system will be increasingly incapable of mending rapidly enough."
Yes, America is sinking into this toxic New, New Normal hell with more and "more political dysfunction and greater sluggishness in economic growth, unacceptably high youth unemployment and long-term joblessness, redoubled debt and deficit concerns, and worsening inequalities between rich and poor." Normal? No, Abnormal.
New New Abnormal: Neither politician has a real solution
Solution? Can we stop the hemorrhaging before another Great Depression? El-Erian says that the solution depends on what happens after the elections.
But that seems unlikely because, "sadly, neither Obama nor Romney has yet offered a meaningful, forward-looking economic reform program to address problems such as a malfunctioning labor market, unsustainable public finances, a broken credit system, inadequate infrastructure, and a lagging education system."
Why? Because both Obama and Romney "lack vision and political courage." And no matter who's elected their failure of leadership will result in "even greater economic disappointment and financial instability."
Worse, the longer America's "economic and political challenges persist, the greater the number of companies and long-term investors that begin to worry, and ... act on those fears ... hire fewer people ... invest less in factories and equipment ... sit on the sidelines" leaving America's fate more and more "in the hands of tactical position players and short-term traders, further ramping up volatility and reducing future growth and job opportunities. And when day traders and company flippers start running a country's economy, watch out."
History lesson: New New Normal started back with 2000 dot-com crash
Solution? Pimco's CEO isn't hopeful: "Warning bells are ringing, and they are ringing loudly. We've already allowed bad economics to lead to bad politics. Now, it's high time to put a stop to the cycle where bad politics undermines an already fragile economy."
Unfortunately, the warning bells have been loud since the 2000 dot-com crash that triggered a 30-month recession, $8 trillion in stock market losses, a decade of inflation-adjusted negative returns, and set up to the 2008 bank meltdown.
In short, from 2000 to 2008 we had the Old Normal ... then a few years of the New Normal ... then we morphed into a deadly dysfunctional New New Abnormal, where bad politics and bad economics are spiraling deeper, driving America into a hell with no exit strategy.
We saw this coming, summarized it a few months before the 2008 Wall Street meltdown when we republished our list of 22 early warning signs: One SEC chairman, two Fed governors, four billionaires, five big-name economists, five big money managers, two financial historians, and many more.
But all the warnings were ignored by conservative ideologues ruling America the past generation, and it's happening in what we should call the New New New Abnormal.
Here's our list: Note especially the Bloomberg News report about the new Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson who warned President Bush and his staff in August 2006 — two years before the meltdown — that derivatives could "blow up in Wall Street's face and affect the whole economy."
Here's the list of crash warnings from 2000 to 2008.

Gramlich later wrote the book, "Subprime Mortgages: America's Latest Boom & Bust."

January 2007. Los Angeles Times on Schwab's trading

June 2007. Economist Gary Shilling's Insight newsletter
As bubble is bursting, speculation end, derivatives trigger a meltdown.
2007. Raghuram Rajan, chief economist IMF
Again warns world's bankers, "headed for doom," markets not learn lessons.
June 2007 New book: "Pop! Why bubbles are great for the economy"
Bubbles work miracles for economy. Welcome them, let them pop, Pop, POP!
July 2007 Paulson in Fortune: "Strongest economy in my lifetime"
Yes, as the meltdown spread, Paulson failed to warn the public of hard facts he knew.
August 2007. Wall Street Journal: Former SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt
Subprime mortgage crisis rivals crises like 1980s S&L, Enron, mutual fund frauds.
August 2007. Former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan on "60 Minutes"
Hustling "The Age of Turbulence," he admits, "I really didn't get it until very late."
Politicians ignore economics, will destroy the economy to win elections. For over a decade America's been morphing into a series of rapid "vicious feedback loops" that are turning "bad economics into bad politics" then recycling "bad politics into even worse economics, further threatening an already tenuous economic future."
They want a recession. And most likely the third major Wall Street stock market crash of the century. Welcome to the New New New Abnormal, a repeat of the Old Normal.

Group booking enquiry near The Bull's Head, Barnes
More about The Bull's Head, Barnes
The Bull's Head, or 'The Bull', as it's known by locals, is located in a prominant spot in Barnes, overlooking the River Thames and boasts a long history as one of London's best-loved jazz venues. But back when it was first established in 1684 as a hostelry it made a perfect stopping off point for the many travellers to and from central London. The building was completely rebuilt in 1845 and went through various refurbishments in the late 19th century and in 1959 it became a jazz venue, a tradition which continues today with live music every night of the week. The pub has been visited by many of the world's great jazz musicians including Dick Morrissey, Ben Webster Maynard Ferguson, Digby Fairweather, Conti Condoli, Shorty Rogers, and Pepper Adams, nicknamed 'The Knife' for his horn playing. Despite this, The Bull remains a down to earth pub serving real ales, wine by the glass and beer, and major sporting events are shown on the big plasma screens.

Re: Jasper & Sarah Pine - Anderson, IN
In reply to:
Re: Jasper & Sarah Pine - Anderson, IN
I'm sorry Bill, I should have mentioned in my original inquiry that this Jasper & Sarah Pine were husband & wife and would have been born between 1910 & 1920.
I did find these names in the Soc. Sec. death records (which I believe to be the correct couple). I was just hoping that some of their children would be monitoring this & get in contact with me, with some answers. I hate to do it the hard way & call all of the Pines listed in the Anderson, IN phone book!
I'm sure some of their children are still in Anderson. Anyhow,,, thanks for your efforts and the info; that could possibly be some of the ancestors of the ones I'm trying to connect with.

AbstractA symmetry group of a spatial graph Γ in S3 is a finite group consisting of orientation-preserving self-diffeomorphisms of S3 which leave Γ setwise invariant. In this paper, we show that in many cases symmetry groups of Γ which agree on a regular neighborhood of Γ are equivalent up to conjugate by rational twists along incompressible spheres and tori in the exterior of Γ.
