Oz looks good
The first trailer for Oz: The Great & Powerful was released yesterday in time for Comic-Con. I love it. I love everything about it. I love the black and white to colour explosion; I love the witches; I love the little creature with the robot face and the fairy body; and I love the potential of an opening line like this:
"Kansas is full of good men. I don't want to be a good man. I want to be a great one."
Is this a family movie or is it a commentary on the increasing ordinariness of being Special? Can it be both? Oh I hope so. This is an excellent first preview. God I wish James Franco could exist exclusively in movies and not in real life.
Here are Michelle Williams, in a gorgeous shift, and Mila Kunis at Comic-Con with Sam Raimi. Not sure where Franco was. Probably working on another enlightening movie review.

Fungus the Bogeyman a budget Shrek for the younger generation
Another Christmas, another remake of a beloved classic children's story. This year Raymond Briggs' Fungus the Bogeyman gets the remake treatment. It's been reworked into a fun to watch but ultimately lacking new show.
Fungus the Bogeyman is the tale of – unsurprisingly – Fungus, the average bogeyman. He lives a suitably disgusting life underground with wife Mildew and son Mould, emerging above ground only for his night job – scaring humans (known as "drycleaners"). Fungus is the product of many generations of renowned bogeymen, has the ugliest wife around and loves everything revolting – as a good bogeyman should. However, Fungus' life starts to become complicated when his son Mould comes out as "dry curious" – professing an interest in living above ground and sanitation. It's a horrific prospect to Fungus and Mildew, but they are left with no other choice but to chase Mould on top after he runs away from home.
The first episode is charming and fun to watch. It's clear that writer Tom MacRae has had an incredible amount of fun with the script and inventing bogeyman-suitable alternatives for everyday tasks and speech. When Fungus and Mildew question their son's irritability, Mildew suggests Mould is at the age where "he's starting to want to lick the boils out of bogey girls' armpits" and phrases such as "oh my god" translate to "oh my bog". It is good fun and occasionally rather amusing.
As with any children's tale, Fungus the Bogeyman is quite blatant with its allegories. And by blatant, I mean its allegory hits you like a speeding car, then backs up over you for good measure. Mould is "dry curious", which basically means he wants to live a clean life above ground like a human. It's seen as a terrible affliction that can be severely punished if convicted. Fungus actually takes Mould to the trial of some dry curious bogeymen to try and put him off the idea. After they are convicted of "decency in a public place", the judge jells "take these fragrant abberations away" while a crowd of bogeymen jeer at the primped and cleaned clothing and hair of the convicted. It makes Disney look subtle, but an interesting parallel to make.
One of the greatest problems I found with Fungus the Bogeyman was its great similarity to the legendary Dreamworks film Shrek. Perhaps it was because the Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy classic is such a staple of Christmas television it might as well become an honorary Christmas film like Die Hard, and so I have seen it very recently. It's about a big, green, happily disgusting monster (for lack of a better word) who does not want to change his ways. A proud and disgusting individual, but one who ultimately will sacrifice it (somewhat) for love. Shrek. Fungus constantly reminded me of Shrek, and consequently suffered in comparison. The script is nowhere near as sharp – indeed, it seems a bit bloated by its 67 minute length – and we delved very little into any characters outside of Fungus and Mould.
There's no shortage of acting excellence however, because Timothy Spall is of course involved – and simply brilliant once he gets his own body back when Fungus shape shifts (it's called face folding) into a human. Victoria Wood is fabulous as Eve, a human who takes in confused bogeymen like Mould.
Speaking of human characters, these are too many to care about. There's the already mentioned Eve. We have Wendy (Keeley Hawes), the career-driven breadwinner in a family that also contains husband Daryl, the former solicitor now "mostly" gardener, and young daughter Lucy. We have their short-lived neighbours, but I don't remember their names. We have a local vicar, who Fungus twice reveals himself to (because it doesn't matter if a vicar sees a bogeyman as no one believes vicars anyway). Then there's a scarred, Dickensian-style detective who I assume is some kind of villain for future episodes. There were too many to really delve deeply into the characters of any, so consequently I found my mind wandering whenever a non-bogeyperson was taking centre stage.
Another aspect of the show that I couldn't quite make up my mind about was the presence of the narrator. I don't think I agree that every children's show should have a comforting, knowledgeable narrator. Indeed, I don't think this is something that benefits Fungus. Though that said, I did enjoy some of the guidebook style explanations of Bogeymen habits, even if it seemed like a too obvious plot device to explain face folding.
I enjoyed sitting down to watch Fungus, though I suspect a lot of this was to do with the Christmas-dinner leftovers I ate while watching. The show is fun, light television, though ultimately lacks substance and originality. Children will probably enjoy it, but adults may want for something more.

2004 Kia Spectra ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
All-new model is stylish and safe.
Kia really isn't trying to confuse us. That the company's dealers have two 2004 Spectra models for sale is the consequence of federal fuel economy regulations, not the car maker's choice.
Fortunately, it's easy to distinguish the new 2004 Spectra from the old 2004 Spectra. The old one is a carryover from the 2003 model year. The new one is all-new, with sharper styling. It's noticeably bigger. It's also priced only a couple of hundred dollars more.
Mechanically, the new 2004 Spectra is all-new. The engine is more powerful, more fuel efficient and cleaner. The wheelbase is longer, which improves the ride. The track is wider, which improves handling. Four-wheel disc brakes are now standard, where the previous model had rear drum brakes.
The interior is redesigned and upgraded. Materials are higher quality. Fit and finish is better. Ergonomics are improved. There's more headroom, more hip room and more rear legroom. The trunk is larger.
All these advances and improvements pale, however, alongside the new 2004 Spectra's occupant safety features. No other car in this price range or size class, nor many costing thousands of dollars more and in larger classes, offer the same, full complement of standard airbag supplemental restraints. In addition to the mandatory two frontal airbags, front-seat occupants are protected by seat-mounted side-impact airbags, and full-coverage side curtain airbags protect front- and rear-seat occupants. The competition has some catching up to do.
Kia offers the all-new 2004 Spectra in two models, the LX and the EX. Both are four-door, five-passenger sedans and come with a 138-horsepower four-cylinder engine. The standard transmission is a five-speed manual. A four-speed automatic is optional ($975).
The LX ($12,620) comes with a short, but interesting list of comfort and convenience features. Auto-off headlights are standard, but outside mirrors are manually adjustable, and windows have hand cranks. Four-wheel disc brakes are standard, but antilock brakes aren't even an option, nor is cruise control. But a tilt steering wheel is standard, as are an AM/FM/CD six-speaker stereo and a six-way adjustable driver's seat. Air conditioning is optional ($960).
The EX ($13,750) adds air conditioning, power windows, heated power mirrors, power central locking, remote keyless entry, and fog lights. Optional on the EX are anti-lock brakes ($400), alloy wheels ($360), cruise control ($200) and power tilt moonroof ($700).
Optional on both the LX and the EX are a rear spoiler ($250) and carpeted floor mats ($80).
The LX and EX enjoy impressively comprehensive standard occupant protection features, comprising dual two-stage frontal airbags; dual front seat-mounted side airbags; and front and rear side-curtain airbags.
Bland is out. The new 2004 Spectra makes a styling statement, not a busy, fussy one, but one that's clean, with sculpted character lines and interesting surface planes that set the car apart from the look-alike, safe, conservative econo-box class.
The Spectra's face is more open, with a larger grille and lower air intake, the latter also split by one vertical divider, instead of the busier two of the previous generation. The EX's fog lights are now round, adding perceived height to the front end. Headlight housings taper upward at the outer edges, drawing the eye more naturally into the hood's increased slope.
A sharp groove etched into the Spectra's side and running from directly over the front wheel well all the way to the hindmost portions of the rear quarter panel accentuates the wedge shape. Embedding the door handles in the groove reduces clutter. The added two inches of wheelbase appear to have been dedicated to widening the rear door opening. Clearly defined fender blisters add sportiness to the wheel openings. The beltline beneath the nicely arched side windows grows out of the front fender blister and runs past the rear side window where it draws a distinct line between the car's lower and upper body beneath a softer flowing sail. An understated rocker panel flares outward beneath the doors, visually pulling the car's body closer to the ground. One stylistic hiccup is the rear fender blister, which isn't as well proportioned to the surrounding body panel as is the front blister and leaves the rear wheel looking undersized.
The back end draws all the various geometrics into a pleasing departure. The backlight (rear windscreen) is more steeply sloped, flowing more smoothly into a shorter deck. The deck lid ends in a sharp crease filling the arc between the large, angular taillights, from which it drops almost vertically from a slight indentation to the fully integrated rear bumper fascia. A large depression scooped out of the vertical trunk panel houses the rear license plate.
Badging is minimal, confined to a Kia logo centered in the grille and above the rear license plate.
Interiors, too, can be stylish and user friendly, and without being expensive.
Large expanses of textured materials give the new 2004 Spectra's dash a quality look. The same large expanses make for fewer seams and joints that inevitably will come to squeak as they work against each other, and this plus good sound deadening promises quiet times for people riding in the new Spectra, a promise the car delivers. Even over rough pavement, only the sounds of tires against pavement penetrated the cabin. The look is quality, too, with a dark color over a lighter shade, giving the cabin an open feeling while minimizing reflected dash-top glare in the windshield. Door panels are finished with textured plastic panels and soft fabric insets that add to the openness.
The instruments, large, round speedometer and tachometer and smaller fuel and water temperature gauges, fill a deep-set pod easily viewed through the four-spoke steering wheel. The wheel rim is thick and easy to grip. The optional cruise control is managed by a multi-function stalk fixed to the wheel between the left spokes.
The radio sits high in the center stack, below two large, adjustable vents separated by an intuitively positioned hazard warning button, above which are positioned two, smallish screens with digital clock and seatbelt warning displays. Stereo controls are easy to read and use, save for the tuning function, a large rocker switch that scrolls at a fixed, agonizingly slow rate up or down through the frequencies. In the LX, one large and one smaller storage bins sit beneath the stereo; in the EX, replacing the smaller bin is a row of sizable buttons, only one of which does anything, namely, turning the rear window defogger on or off. Across the lower area of the center stack are the climate control knobs: large, round and basic, with tactile feel surprisingly consistent for an economy car. At the left end of the lower dash panel are readily accessible switches for opening the trunk and adjusting the dash lights above yet another storage bin.
Seats are generally comfortable and covered in a quality fabric with adjustable head restraints, save for the rear center position. Front seat bottoms could be deeper, however, with more thigh support. The center console armrest is high enough for elbows but too far rearward. Rear seats aren't as contoured as the front but occupants enjoy an added inch of legroom over the previous model. Headroom front and rear is up an inch or two from the previous Spectra and equally above the primary competition, the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla and Ford Focus; the last, though, bests the Spectra by a half inch in rear-seat headroom. Rear-seat legroom is on a par with competitors. One problem with the rear seat is the proximity of the rear wheel well to the door opening; inattention when climbing out can leave traces of road dust and dirt on slacks or skirt. In hip room, the Spectra gives front-seat occupants between an inch and four inches more than the competition and between four inches and seven inches in the back seat.
Only in trunk space does the new Spectra come in last, giving up between a half a cubic foot to slightly more than 1.5 cubic feet; it does, however, better its immediate predecessor by almost two cubic feet. The trunk floor and sides are finished, but grocery shoppers should beware of the gooseneck hinges that can crush items packed too tightly.
The center console houses two cupholders and a bin forward of the shift lever fitted with a grippy pad. Two more cupholders fold out of the rear of the center console for use by rear seat occupants. Molded map pockets run the length of the front door bottoms; in the EX, these have cup-sized rounds molded into the front portion. The EX also gets magazine nets on the back of the front seats.
Driving Impression
As fresh and improved as the new 2004 Spectra is, it's still an economy sedan with a four-cylinder engine. Even with abundant sound deadening between the engine compartment and passenger cabin, this means occupants are going to hear engine buzz under hard acceleration in the lower gears, in both the manual and automatic. Only while cruising in the top gears do things truly quiet down. Which they do, and quite well, as road noise and other mechanical sounds are remarkably mute, in both the LX and EX. For the most part, wind noise is minimal, too, except for an occasional low moan from the front passenger's side window in strong, left-to-right crosswinds.
Power output is significantly higher than that of the previous generation Spectra and generally well above the competitors' comparable models. Acceleration is good, better in the manual than in the automatic, which is no surprise. But the automatic is more than adequate even for relatively high-speed, long-distance cruising. Buyers in California and certain northeastern states get engines with six fewer horses and three fewer pounds-feet of torque due to those states' stricter emission standards. Thanks to improved engine management electronics, the EPA also estimates that this cleaner and more power engine gets significantly better gas mileage than the previous Spectra's.
Downshifts in the automatic could be smoother. Also, shifting into third gear instead of Drive when shifting out of Park or Reverse is easy to do.
Outward vision to the front is good, with thanks to the height-adjustable driver's seat, as from the front passenger seat, the hood slopes away steeply enough to disappear from sight. To the sides and rear, the tall glass house and slim sails ease parking and quick manuevers in traffic.
Handling and steering are good, considering the car's height and the tallish tires. Put another way, the alloy wheels deliver more in looks than performance. When pushed, the car eases into understeer, which is common for economy front-wheel-drive cars. The brake pedal in the test car was a bit mushy, but not enough to cause concern. Ride is solid, not too firm, and a daylong, 400-mile-plus drive wasn't unusually tiring.
South Korea's car makes have come a long way since the days of the infamous Hyundai Excel. And the new 2004 Kia Spectra is a good representation of just how far they've come in design, quality and technology.
Fit and finish is on a par with the best in the class. Styling is sharp and distinctive. Power and economy mesh well. Comfort and convenience are fully featured.
None of the competition matches the price of the Kia Spectra while offering the same level of occupant safety.
Go ahead, be the first on the block. Just make sure you get the new one.

Billy Ray Cyrus' Son Trace Cyrus Calls Off Engagement
Love is in the air for Miley Cyrus, who announced her engagement to longtime boyfriend Liam Hemsworth a few days ago, but the same can't be said for her brother, Trace. The son of iconic country singer Billy Ray Cyrus announced today that he and his former fiance, Disney star Brenda Song, have officially broken off their nine-month engagement.
Not only are Cyrus and Song no longer headed down the aisle, but they dissolved their entire relationship. "Brenda and I have decided to go our separate ways," Cyrus, 23, said in a statement.
Trace Cyrus, who is Billy Ray's adopted son, is the lead singer for the pop-rock band Metro Station. He also owns his own clothing line, Southern Made Hollywood Paid, for which Song modeled. Many may recognize Song from her small part in the Facebook movie 'The Social Network,' but she also had a regular role on Disney's 'Suite Life of Zack and Cody.'
The couple announced their engagement last October, just two months after rumors circulated that they were expecting a child. No baby (and not even a baby bump) ever materialized, and as of January, Cryus reportedly said that he and Song were going to wait a year to plan the wedding. Unfortunately, they didn't make it that far. The singer admits that he and his former fiance actually broke up a few months ago -- they just waited to announce the news to the public.
"We split up a couple of months ago," he revealed. "We will continue to focus on our careers."
Break-ups can be hard, but it sounds like Cyrus is trying not to burn any bridges with his lady friend. "I wish Brenda the best and much success in the future," he remarked. "I hope everyone can respect our privacy about this situation."

As I've talked about on our Facebook page, we're pretty much all set for Thanksgiving; we've ordered a turkey and sides.

Join in on the conversation and leave a comment there sometime.
This week was a great week for tweets about relationships and finances. Here's the one's I found particularly interesting. Remember you can follow us at @lovenotdebt.

CrossCanyon needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 51 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
We just got married, and we've been planning to get the same tattoo. We have a starter idea, but have had trouble finding the right drawing of it.
The ultimate compliment to an artist: we'll wear your design for the rest of our lives. Ha, cool, huh? Better than business card logos. :-)
Thanks All!!
We were so impressed by the outpouring of creativity on this contest -- http://99designs.com/contests/9887 -- that we thought we'd give it a try.
the image
as a gift, I gave her a piece of jewelry that is our starting point. you can see the piece here: http://tinyurl.com/5zsxqd
It's a silver knot pendant with an interwoven strand. We want something similar but different in this way:
Rather than one strand that perpetually interweaves, I'd like two strands that weave in and out of one another. It's not a mobius strip. Rather, it's two strands that become much stronger when interwoven to form a new circle. It represents my wife and I. Two clearly discernable individuals....that are still individuals after marriage, but together, the pair represents the strength of the bond.
The drawing can be greyscale or it can be color. I like the idea of having it with dark blacks and bright whites; hoping to get it to look like a piece of silver jewelry, with shadows and highlights.
But tattoo artists have told me that at the crossover points (one strand over, the other under), the lines may bleed over time, and it's harder to discern different strands if they're both "silver". So they've suggested making one a shade of blue and the other a shade of some more feminine color, with the colors getting lighter and darker as they go over and under, to suggest depth.
Here's the challenge: I don't want something that looks celtic. Can it be done?
thank you so much. we're so looking forward to inking this representation of our love and committment to each other.
as above.

Squizzel needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 47 designs submitted by 12 freelance designers.
I am a 21 year old professional poker player from England. I would like a cool logo that reflects my personality and goes with the wordpress template i currently have.
My website will be my personal blog, i will also do poker strategy posts, poker strategy videos, video blogs, post my results etc etc
internet poker players / cash game players
The logo design must match the template color scheme, so it must sit on the same colour brown background. I want something creative that portrays an internet poker player.
So it could be like an illlustration of a kid infront of a laptop shuffling poker chips with his hands. Id like something cool and shiny looking but not super corny / clipart looking. Alternative suggestions / ideas are welcome in the comment box. As far as examples go i think this looks fairly cool and something similar as far as a logo goes would rock: http://www.tylercruz.com/
Logo text must say "Bad Variance" and have room for a tagline on or below the image, this will be smaller text. Height wise the image will not be restricted to the size of the current logo.
An alternative idea could be the poker chip type design, with the text next to a poker chip. For me to accept this type of design it has to be very professional and slick looking.

SAN LEANDRO — Seismic upgrades to Chabot Dam are on track to begin next year, a project expected to bring a yearlong closure of Chabot Park and trucks loaded with dirt lumbering down Estudillo Avenue.
A final timeline for the project is not yet set, but East Bay Municipal Utility District officials expect work to get under way as early as fall 2014, starting with the addition of reinforced steel and replacement of old hardware at the dam's outlet tower. Work to excavate and replace unstable soil on the dry side of the dam will begin as soon as spring 2015 and finish later that year, district officials said.
The upgrades come after a 2005 seismic report found the outlet tower could be rendered inoperable and the dam wall could crack in the event of a large earthquake. Built in 1874 and owned by the EBMUD, Chabot Dam is located less than a third of a mile away from the Hayward-Rodgers Creek fault and less than 19 miles from the San Andreas fault, the report said.
EBMUD officials say the dam, holding back 3.3 billion gallons of water in the Lake Chabot Reservoir, is safe since its 30-foot-wide containment wall rests 23 feet above the water line and it is only at risk of settling 3½ feet in an earthquake, according to the report.
Still, the state Division of Safety of Dams, pointing to the seismic report, says the improvements must proceed.
The amount of dirt to be excavated could cover a football field with dirt 56 feet high and, depending on the size of the trucks used to haul dirt away, will take 6,000 to 12,000 trips, EBMUD officials estimate. That could mean 400 to 600 truck trips per day down Estudillo Avenue, district officials told the City Council in September.
EBMUD estimates that the work will result in a yearlong closure of Chabot Park at the east end of Estudillo Avenue starting sometime next year. San Leandro leases property from the utility district to operate Chabot Park, which is used by at least 4,000 visitors annually.
The utility district is drafting an environmental impact report that it will release in the fall followed by requests for public comment. Preliminary EBMUD estimates place the total project cost at $13.7 million, though the district is hoping a state grant will offset most of it.
Several City Council members expressed concern at September's meeting about the toll the project will take on the surrounding community and about the limited information provided by the district thus far.
Those concerns were echoed by members of the Parks Commission at a Jan. 2 meeting.
"I just want to know where are we at in this process?" said Parks Commissioner Evelyn Gonzalez.
Parks Commissioner Ed Shapiro recommended the district communicate with the Parks Commission and the local homeowners association about their proposed plans.
"It's a huge impact to these people and they don't even know about it," Shapiro said.
Commissioner Darryl Shields said he was wondering about the anticipated closure of the West Shore Trail, where his son regularly bikes.
Though plans are not finalized, utility district officials said they do not anticipate closures on Bass Cove Trail to the north and the Anthony Chabot Regional Park to the south, and no water outages are anticipated as a result of the project. Water in Lake Chabot Reservoir serves as an emergency water supply and limited recreational use, among other functions.
An EBMUD representative is scheduled to present an update on the project to the Parks Commission Wednesday night.

updating the Chabot Dam project
An EBMUD representative will update the San Leandro Recreation and Parks Commission on the project at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Helen Lawrence South Offices Conference Room at the City Hall Civic Center, 835 E. 14th St., San Leandro.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP/WFAN) — Once Marcus Thames finally put the New York Yankees ahead, there was no way Mariano Rivera was going to have a repeat performance.
One loss in Texas was enough for the longtime Yankees closer.
Thames hit a long homer in the eighth inning, then had the go-ahead RBI single in the ninth as New York rallied from five runs down to beat the Rangers 7-6 on Wednesday night for a split in the two-game series between the division leaders.
Photos | Audio: Marcus Thames | Mariano Rivera | Joe Girardi
A night after losing in Texas for the only time in his first 32 career appearances over 16 seasons, Rivera gave up a leadoff triple to Elvis Andrus in the ninth before retiring the Nos. 2-4 hitters, including Josh Hamilton on a comebacker after the majors' leading hitter already had three hits.
"That's Mo, right through the heart of their order, three tremendous hitters," manager Joe Girardi said. "I was thinking we're in trouble here, but if anyone can do it, Mo can."
After Andrus' liner into the right-center gap, Michael Young had a short flyball to right where Austin Kearns made a shoestring grab. Hamilton and Vladimir Guerrero hit grounders to give Rivera his 24th save in 26 chances.
Asked what was going through his mind after the leadoff triple, Rivera responded, "Nothing. I'm trying to get the next guy out and go from there."
What about after Kearns' catch?
"I'm thinking, `Oh, my God. We have to win now,"' he said. "I've got Hamilton next, who I've seen before, so I made my pitches."
The Yankees (70-43), who have the best record in the majors and a 1 1/2-game lead over Tampa Bay in the AL East, matched their biggest comeback of the season despite tying a franchise record with 17 strikeouts. Their other 17-K games were in 1901 and 1999.
Thames drove in the go-ahead run on a rolling single between shortstop and third base came after Derek Jeter had tied the game with a chopper past a drawn-in infield, an RBI single off Rangers rookie All-Star closer Neftali Feliz (3-3).
"The whole game, we were where we wanted to be. We just couldn't stop them from the sixth inning on," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "We got their closer last night. They got ours tonight."
Feliz, in his first save chance since July 31 after converting 20 in a row, walked the leadoff batter in the ninth, gave up a single to No. 9 hitter Brett Gardner and threw a wild pitch before Jeter's tying hit. Nick Swisher struck out of the fourth time before Alexi Ogando came on and gave up the single to Thames.
Thames led off the eighth by pulling a 410-foot shot down the left-field line off Frank Francisco to get New York with 6-5.
Kerry Wood (2-4) threw two scoreless innings for his first decision in five appearances since New York acquired him from Cleveland on July 31.
Texas (65-48) still has a 7 1/2-game lead over the Los Angeles Angels in the AL West, by far the largest lead in any of baseball's six divisions.
Rangers starter Cliff Lee struck out 11 with no walks in 6 1-3 innings, matching his shortest outing of the season and ending his streak of 10 consecutive starts going at least eight innings. He gave up four runs.
But Young homered while David Murphy and Mitch Moreland had two-run singles for Texas, which had scored only 2.28 runs a game for Lee in his first six starts since being traded to the Rangers instead of New York on July 9.
Lee already had seven strikeouts by the end of the fifth, five on called third strikes. He struck out Swisher, Thames and Alex Rodriguez in order in the sixth after Jeter had a leadoff triple and scored on a wild pitch to make it 6-2.
But after Lance Berkman had an RBI double and Gardner an RBI single in the seventh for a 6-4 score with two runners still on base, Lee was done. Submarine-throwing Darren O'Day struck out Jeter before Darren Oliver struck out Swisher to end the threat.
"I started missing my spots a little bit," said Lee, who still threw 76 of 106 pitches for strikes. "I felt like I was running out of gas."
Yankees starter Javier Vazquez gave up six runs and eight hits over 4 1-3 innings and was chased by Murphy's two-run single that made it 6-1.
Murphy has hit .423 (11 for 26) with 11 RBIs in a seven-game hitting streak. He had a two-run homer Tuesday before his game-winning single with the bases loaded in the 10th off Rivera.
Notes: Lee has 137 strikeouts and only nine walks in 161 1-3 innings this season. … Yankees 1B Mark Teixeira is expected to rejoin the team Thursday in Kansas City after missing the two games in Texas for the birth of his third child. … In the crowd of 48,676 was former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura, who sat in the first row by the Rangers dugout. The fourth sellout of the season was the largest crowd since opening day.

This summer, we are going to take a trip around the world by reading these multi-cultural books. What is great about this list is that it covers all the ages of my kids: from preschool through elementary school. I will be sneaky and check out these books for them and leave them strewn about the house for them to examine when they are bored. I will keep you posted on what books my kids actually liked because that is a whole 'nother list! See you at the library!

From CCRMA Wiki
Beijing <---> Stanford Planning Meeting (2008.2.4)
tentative plan so far
- what: networked + laptop orchestra telematic concert between Beijing and Stanford (full duplex)
- when: April 30th, 2008, 8pm PST, part of Jindong's PanAsia Music Festival
- where: Stanford: Dink, Beijing: TBD
- who:
- Stanford: Chris (celleto), Ge (laptop orchestra), Juan-Pablo (network?), Jindong (?)
- NOTE (from Juan-Pablo): I would actually like to play the network in this concert, but I mean, TO PLAY IT. I can be controlling live reverberation and echoic algorithms embedded in network, plus other ideas that may come along. This may be specially interesting in the first and last piece in the program.
- Beijing: Mrs. Fields (erhu?), TBD
- Stanford: Chris (celleto), Ge (laptop orchestra), Juan-Pablo (network?), Jindong (?)
- why: because it'd be sweet if we can pull it off
- how: TBD
tentative program (networked portion)
- er-huh + celleto improv jam
- Ives++: "unanswered question" (er-hu + celleto + laptop orchestra)
- possible laptop orchestra piece for local + chinese audience (possibly by MSTs, possibly involving Radio Baton)
- end piece: Pauline Oliveros's "Tuning Meditation"
current concerns
- Beijing venue - where to do this? Some current candidates include:
- Central Conservatory of China, on pavilion outside of main auditory
- National Theatre, possibly in atrium
- landmark - moon/sun temple? scenic mountain park?
- Beijing onsite technical setup
- port/access to node on internet backbone
- machine (we might provide this)
- sound system
- video hardware (might require another machine?)
- video capture/transmission/playback
- what to use for these?
- who to investigate these tools (perhaps Deepak on CCRMA side)
- Beijing event as public concert (perhaps for students)
next steps
- get in touch with Ken Fields (ge)
- invite his wife to play
- get in touch with Zhang Xiaofu
- get in touch with Mungo
- arrange conference call (ge)
- gain access to point of presence at Beijing for internet backbone (perhaps ping Chris's friend on Internet2, coordinator of fine arts?) (chris?)
- determine point person, one in Beijing, one here
- figure out who can go back to China in March to set up tech, run tests (Juan-Pablo, Rob?)

Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, was the most successful entertainer of all time according to the Guinness Book of World Records. His contributions to music, dance and fashion made him beloved by audiences all over the world for more than four decades. Sadly, his life was cut short.
Now, a visit to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas gives everyone an opportunity to watch a talented Michael impressionist perform many of the hits that made him an idol. MJ Live! is a tribute show in Rio's Crown Theatre that packs in audiences of all ages. And with good reason! When impersonator Michael Firestone first struts on stage, you'd think it was Michael himself!
Michael Firestone is a look-and-sound-a-like who puts on an exciting and energetic night of entertainment. His resemblance to Jackson is remarkable. His musical numbers include Michael's biggest hits, "Billie Jean," "Beat It," "Man in the Mirror, "Dangerous," "Black & White," "I Want You Back," and of course – "Thriller."
Firestone sounds so much like Jackson, you'll wonder if its lip synced. Actually, Michael Firestone is singing, and his voice and mannerisms are near perfect as the original. Firestone is one of only a few Michael Jackson tribute artists who can sing live while mastering the intense dance moves for which the King of Pop was known.
Firestone's love of Michael Jackson began at a young age. He would practice his singing impressions and dance moves in front of a video camera in his living room. He wanted his vocal nuances and moonwalk to be perfect, and he has succeeded.
The MJ Live! extravaganza includes a group of talented back up performers who dance and sing their way through all the numbers, with tremendous energy and skill. They don costumes like Afro wigs from the early Jackson Five days to luminescent-striped outfits and even bloody zombie outfits for "Thriller."
Michael Firestone works hard to make MJ Live! as authentic as possible. In addition to his demanding singing and dancing, Firestone has 12-15 costume changes to match his look to MJ's in every song throughout the 90-minute performance. The lighting, props, and effects are all top notch, making MJ Live! a splendid night of music and dance that truly honors the memory of Michael Jackson.
The next time you're in Las Vegas, Beat It to a Thriller of a show – MJ LIVE! at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino.

John Calhoun needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 106 designs submitted by 27 freelance designers.
CMG 3PLogistics
My dad and I own our company. We have about 200 employees nationwide. We are a small company that needs a logo that represents a large company. Some of our customers are the largest in thier industry. We need to stand out to them.
Our target audience is Warehouse / Distribution Centers that need labor to get jobs done at their warehouse.
Most use temp agency for their labor but our concept is that we can get the job done faster and cheaper using our team of skilled associates
We specializing in order selecting, picking boxes, packing boxes, labeling products and any time of labor needed in a warehouse.
The logo must look professional.
1. No Cartoons
2. Nothing too elegant - we do not want to come across as being fancy.
3. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. We want something that stands out. Again being careful not to be too fancy.
Please feel free to experiment with colors! We do like, blue, red, yellow and black.
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
We want the stand out part of the logo to be CMG. The 3PLogistics part is not the main part of the name. It needs to be incorporated but not the highlight of the logo.

Having a beautiful home can have a lot to do with the craftsmanship. If you would like a new home that has the craftsmanship of homes built hundreds of years ago, then you will want to have a custom house built by a respected building company. With the years, new tools have been developed that should make houses stand the test of time. Make sure that you find a company that has craftsmen who believe in homes that can be passed down to future generations.
If the home that you live in now is one that your kids would never want to move into when you are gone, then you might want to consider building a custom house. Not every child ends up moving into their parent's home, but it is nice when it can happen. Keeping homes in the family is a nice thing. Somehow doing so preserves a part of your family that could otherwise somehow cease to exist.
A custom house means you can have that giant kitchen island with the built in grill and sink. You can have the breakfast nook with the windows overlooking the beautiful landscape that you have always dreamed of having behind your home.
Some things to consider before choosing a custom house building company include the following: experience, attitude, and results. Each of these plays an integral part in the type of builder that you would want to build your home.
Experience is important for fairly self-explanatory reasons. It is important that a builder build has built a few homes before they begin on yours. Everyone on the team should really have at least two or three years of full-time home-building experience.
Attitude is also important as you consider building companies. Some builders might not be willing to accept that they made a mistake. It is not wise for the home-owners to hang around constantly nagging the builders about little problems. If the homeowner does see an issue that needs to be addressed however, the main contractor should be willing to accept the possibility that he or she or one of the other workers made a mistake and they all should be willing to fix it.
Results are essential when it comes to building a custom house. Without going to actual homes built by the crew, it might be difficult to see results. If the crew has not always been in the general area or if they often build elsewhere, you may have to get the names of clients and ask if you could see a picture of their home. While talking to them, you might ask if they would recommend the crew. Individuals who have hired a crew in the past should be able to tell you something about the group's experience, attitude, and their results so that you will have a beautiful home to pass on.

SportsFocus necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 317 diseños de 51 diseñadores freelance.
We are launching our company and will need a new logo. We are looking for help to create a clean looking logo that translates our message of a company that focus's on only opportunities in the world of sports, luxury and lifestyle. This new logo will be used with new stationary, collateral, website and office building signage. The logo should work well in single and multi-color print.
Innovative Sports Ventures
We are a venture capital, development and athlete focused company. We have a team of seasoned veterans from the world of venture capital, luxury real estate development and professional athlete management coming together to form this new entity. The logo will be used on our website and our target audience are technology companies within the sports sector looking for funding, land owners / developers looking for seasoned consultants and professional athletes needing assistance with their day-to-day lives. The logo should give the message of strength, power and clarity. Needs to be a bit more corporate than playful but BE creative. We like the idea of the word Innovative being on top of Sports Ventures. "Innovative" is the driver of this car. We are open to any color story as long as it meets the objectives above. The logo will be used in many ways one of which will be embroidery. Needs to easily convert to an embroidery file and look good on many different colored shirts and hats. The font choice should be very clean, easy to read and powerful – no handwriting, or curly curls – the company font needs to immediately tell our story. Our target markets are multi-faceted so we need to have a professional / creative look reflected in the fonts.We will be reviewing entries regularly so expect prompt feedback.
- The most important is a very clean and professional logo that works well in many formats and colors.
- Innovative is the focus word more so than Sports or Ventures.
- A version with InnovativeSportsVentures.com and another version as just ISV would be very helpful.
- Vector graphics so we can also use the logo in print –EPS.
- Absolutely NO clipart
- Absolutely NO sport specific icons or references (we do not want to choose one sport over another)
- Please no kiddie, cartoonish, or curvy fonts
- Nothing that looks like an existing large company's logo
- No photographs

User:Allan/Pacman Hooks
This feature is now implemented. The page has been locked. All discussion to the pacman-dev mailing list. The discussion page will be ignored...
The Dream
We will one day live in a world where we no longer have to suffer the tedium of repeated tasks in pacman install files. The future will arrive bearing the stuff of legends... Things that have been talked about in quiet whispers for decades. Pacman hooks!
Hook files are placed in /usr/lib/pacman/hooks or /etc/pacman.d/hooks. Those in /etc override those in /usr/lib. An empty file or a symlink to /dev/null in /etc disables the hook in /usr/lib.
Hook files require the .hook suffix.
Hook Format
[Hook] Description = Add info files to the info directory Requires = install-info Type = PostTransaction [Target] File = /usr/share/info/* Exec = install-info %f usr/share/info/dir &>/dev/null
Detailed options
[Hook] section
Description: (Optional) Brief description of the hook
Requires: (Optional) Required software for hook to run (TODO: is this needed? Is there a use case where the hook will not be provided by the software)
(TODO: Output: provide string for pacman to output when running hook)
Type: PreRemove|PostRemove|PreInstall|PostInstall|PreTransaction|PostTransaction
- Before the installation/upgrade of the package (PreInstall)
- After the installation/upgrade of the package (PostInstall)
- Before the removal of the package (PreRemove)
- After the removal of the package (PostRemove)
- At the beginning of the transaction (PreTransaction)
- At the end of the transaction (PostTransaction)
Before/After: (Optional) Control the ordering of the hook (TODO: Use lexical ordering of files rather than this?) (TODO: Use a priority field instead. Interger from -20 to 20. Default to 0)
[Target] Section
File: File or list of files that trigger a hook.
Package: Package or list of packages that trigger the hook.
Exec: the command to be run during the upgrade. Can use the following replacements (will be quoted):
%f: the triggering file - if more than one triggers, the command is looped %F: the list of triggering files %p: the triggering package - if more than one triggers, the command is looped %P: the list of triggering packages
(TODO: issues with maximum command line length) (TODO: StandardOutput=null|console StandardError= ... instead of piping output) (TODO: Enforce absolute paths)
Additional Configuration
During ./configure the system hooks directory is specified with --with-hooksdir defaulting to EPREFIX/lib when unspecified. The override directory is not configurable beyond using --sysconfdir.
Implementation Notes
- File hooks are still run when install scriptlets are run and not directly after the file.
- New hooks need to be detected and activate on install.
Old Versions for Reference
