The chain which the goldsmith had given him was about his neck, and the goldsmith was reproaching him for denying that he had it, and refusing to pay for it, and Antipholus Was protesting that the goldsmith freely gave him the chain in the morning, and that from that hour he had never seen the goldsmith again. And now Adriana came up to him and claimed him as her lunatic husband, who had escaped from his keepers; and the men she brought with her were going to lay violent hands on Antipholus and Dromio; but they ran into the convent, and Antipholus begged the abbess to give him shelter in her house.

Silver Spoon is in a garden apartment style room that seats about 40 at the most. We got there around 12:30 and it wasn't necessarily that crowded, but we had to wait for 15 minutes or so because they had trouble fitting a group of 5 among all the 2 tops. We eventually got sat at a table at street end of the restaurant.
The service was going well. They took our order quickly and kept our drinks nice and full. The only problem was that they forgot my food. After 5 minutes of everyone else being served, I called over the waitress to ask for my meal. She hustled back to the kitchen and promptly brought out my food.
The deal is excellent. $6.95 for an entree and an appetizer is a large amount of food for your money. They have a relatively limited menu to pick from for the deal, but the standards are there.
The Food
Since it was included in the lunch special, we all got an appetizer. I had the Fried Tofu, Kristy ordered the Spring Rolls, and everyone else got the Crab Rangoon (except She Yan who expressed her disappointment that Americans think that Crab Rangoon is a standard Asian appetizer). The Tofu was pretty good, but like most tofu it didn't have too much taste. Luckily, it came with a really tasty peanut sauce for dipping. The Spring roll was on par with most that I'd had, but they were very liberal with the sauce. I didn't have the Rangoon, but the serving size was pretty small, and there seemed to be a poor ratio of filling to fried dough.
There were about 10 entrees to pick from for the special, and we covered the highlights pretty well. Kristy and Amanda ordered the Pad Thai, Pedro got the Cashew Chicken, Austin got the Chicken and Vegetables, She Yan got the Thai Noodle Bowl, and I got the Pad See Ew. The Pad Thai was delicious, well sauced, and had a nice amount of peanuts providing a textural balance. The Thai Beef Noodle Bowl was just so so. The beef may have been cooked for too long, and it's texture was grainy, but the broth was very tasty. The Pad See Ew was very tasty with it's wide noodles and sweet sauce. The chicken in it was a little overdone, and the noodles were stuck together a bunch, but I still enjoyed it.
I feel like Thai places are somewhat a dime a dozen in this city. I had high hopes for this one based on it's close proximity to the consulate. The lunch deal is pretty good, but between the service and the food, I'd have to say it's only a little above average. I'm giving Silver Spoon 3 out of 5 Pearls.

Thomas H. Oliver ----------
Once there was a long tall handsome boy born to Frank and Patty J. Oliver on August 13, 1926. They named him Thomas. This boy went to war and learned to fly. He had a passion for mountains, valleys, rivers and streams. His feet fit best in ski boots, not dress shoes. Skiing his mountains was close to flying. As a man of service, for 40 years he skied the mountains and rescued lost or wounded skiers. On a ski trip he met Alice Soule. For the next 63 years they were in love. Along the way Tom paid the bills by being a man of steel, working for PDM. Tom and Alice produced four long tall handsome boys. Boys who would grow like their Pop into men of service. Each different but the same. Like their father, from the Sierras to the Pacific, made friends to cherish. The boys married and added grandchildren to the clan. For 63 years the family thrived and grew, then they lost Alice. Pop was devastated. As the grief subsided he decided on one more adventure to honor the life of the woman he loved. This December, with a son and two close family members, he boarded a plane to fly one last time, to a place where he could walk in the footprints of Darwin, a place of mystery and beauty. He was strong again, he smiled at the mornings, he made friends in this tiny spot on the Equator. He thought of Alice everyday and he knew she was on his shoulder. He came home; his noble heart and lusty lungs grew tired. Family and friends would gather to watch and pray. To remember and tell his story. Deep in the dark of midnight on January 12, they would say good-bye. Now he's with his one true love, and with the God he talked to every night. His sons carry a legacy to be envied, RIP
Thomas Oliver, yours was a remarkable life. He leaves behind sons and daughters: Kent (Debra) Oliver, Scott (Jayne) Oliver, Matthew (Teresa) Oliver, and Randal (Alyssa) Oliver. Granddaughters: Ashley Foye, Lauren Estrada, Rebekah Oliver, Elizabeth Oliver, Samantha Oliver, and grandson Jason De Cou. The great-grandbabies will also miss their Papa Tom.
A celebration of Tom's life will be held on Saturday, February 2nd, 11 am, at Bethel Open Bible Church, 760 S. Ham Ln., in Lodi.

The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ announced on Monday that the world's mammals face an extinction crisis, with almost one in four at risk of disappearing forever. The paper summarizing this comprehensive assessment is published today in the esteemed journal Science.
The new study to assess the world's mammals shows at least 1,141 of the 5,487 mammals on Earth are known to be threatened with extinction. At least 76 mammals have become extinct since 1500. But the results also show conservation can bring species back from the brink of extinction, with five percent of currently threatened mammals showing signs of recovery in the wild.
"The reality is that the number of threatened mammals could be as high as 36 percent," says Jan Schipper, of Conservation International and lead author in the Science article. "This indicates that conservation action backed by research is a clear priority for the future, not only to improve the data so that we can evaluate threats to these poorly known species, but to investigate means to recover threatened species and populations."
The project to assess the world's mammals was conducted with help from more than 1,800 scientists from over 130 countries. It was made possible by the volunteer help of IUCN Species Survival Commission's specialist groups and the collaborations between top institutions and universities, including Conservation International, Sapienza Università di Roma, Arizona State University, Texas A&M University, University of Virginia, and the Zoological Society of London.
The paper is titled "The Status of the World's Land and Marine Mammals: Diversity, Threat, and Knowledge".

We've lived in the bush in central BC for 21 years, have been through forest fire season's before but not like this one... We've been under an evacuation order for almost 2 months. Our place is a cabin with a few solar panels and of course a shop that runs on solar power. We didn't leave, exercised our right to protect our land. We have been lucky and smart. If we leave armed soldiers and police won't let us back in. A Different kind of survival in the wilderness.
The fire storm the media has whipped up was fed to them. It's disgraceful. Great thing about a satellite connection. Anyone with a panel in the bush. The big difference this time is the fire center and CRD have been withholding information and have been putting a big spin on the fires. Fires in old cut blocks crawl they don't rage. A lot of the Cariboo has been cut in the last 50 years.
It's a sign towards the future. We can deal with forest fires. The RCMP, Military, CRD and levels of governments are a different story. We do appreciate the different authorities and governments for sure but this kind of situation will have to be talked about and checked. It has turned into a military exercise and an opportunity to burn. It is a phenomenon. Democratic armed forces need conflict to flourish. The CRD needs to burn off land. Problem is it's at our (the people's) expense. I wish they could just say the truth. Logging practices have sucked for a long time and the pine beetle have left lots of fuel in a bush and with the pressures of climate change. They could get us all motivated instead of being arrogant and taking our rights away.
Right now we're getting caught up. The order and blockades came into effect here without notice so a lot got put on hold.

Brentwood couple reflect on the road back from the edge of total despair

Union Leader Correspondent
Ken and Danielle Lambert are seen in a family photo with their children, Shane and Kaleigh, who were killed with their aunt when she carried them into traffic on Interstate 495 in Lowell, Mass., in 2007.

Giant sympathy card to make rounds for Newtown residents
BRENTWOOD - It's hard to imagine the grief felt by the parents of the 20 young children gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., unless you're Ken and Danielle Lambert.
Four years ago, the Brentwood couple had just celebrated Christmas with their 5-year-old daughter, Kaleigh, and 4-year-old son, Shane, when they received the news that will haunt them forever.
Their only children were supposed to be going to a sleepover with their aunt, Marci Thibault, but instead, she pulled over on the side of Interstate 495 in Lowell, Mass., and intentionally walked them into oncoming traffic. Thibault and the children were struck and killed in a horrific accident that the Lamberts say resulted from a misunderstood mental illness.
While the circumstances surrounding the deaths in Newtown and the Lamberts' loss aren't exactly the same, the grief is no different.
"Not a lot of people know what those parents are thinking or feeling or facing. Obviously Danielle and I know and you don't wish that on anyone. With one town to have all of that at once is really unbelievable," Ken Lambert said Tuesday while reflecting on his darkest days and how he and his wife found the strength to move forward.
The Lamberts have since formed a mental health awareness group called Keep Sound Minds, and 17 months ago began a new chapter as a family while keeping the memories of Kaleigh and Shane close. "We were blessed 17 months ago with twin baby boys, who have been a joy and have given us a 'second chance' in many ways. Due to this we are in a much better place than we were three to four years ago. We are very grateful," Lambert said.
Like many, the Lamberts have watched some of the news coverage from Newtown, but they've had to turn the television off at times. The tragedy has brought them back to that awful night - Jan. 11, 2008.
"It's hard. I don't want to watch that much of it, but it's tough to avoid because it's everywhere. It's very sad and it's certainly the time of year similar to our circumstances. The last few days have been pretty difficult for us," Lambert said.
The ages of the children killed in Newtown are similar to those of Kaleigh and Shane, and much like what happened in the wake of their deaths, there is speculation about the mental health of Newtown shooter Adam Lanza.
Only a few months after losing their children, the Lamberts began working on forming a nonprofit organization that later became known as Keep Sound Minds. The goal was to raise awareness of mental health issues, especially for those in the law enforcement community who come face to face with the mentally ill on a regular basis.
"For us, it was very important to do something positive and productive," Lambert said. The couple also wanted to find a way to keep the memory of their children and Danielle's sister, Marci, alive.
"A parent doesn't want to see their name disappear," Lambert said.
As the parents in Newtown struggle to find ways to cope with the loss, Lambert recalled the difficulties he and his wife faces in those early days.
"After the first two weeks, the hardest part was just an empty and quiet household; that being a constant reminder that they're not there. That quietness, it doesn't disappear," he said.
It will also be difficult in a month or two when others not directly affected by the tragedy in Newtown begin to move on with their lives.
"That's just the way it is, but the parents and the siblings, they won't get back to their normal lives in a couple of months. They won't ever, really," Lambert said.
Meanwhile, the Lamberts are still active with Keep Sounds Minds. This year they were involved with public seminars on general mental health education and awareness and continue to offer mental health interaction trainings for police and fire departments in New Hampshire and Massachusetts at free or reduced rates. They have also planned a comedy night fundraiser in late February and will hold its first large-scale dinner/educational fundraiser in May.
More information on the group's activities can be found on its website,
. Lambert urged anyone interested in scheduling a training to contact the group through the website.

When to carry?
Sub -Title: Can of Worms.
My question. Do you advocate carrying all the time or only when you perceive an elevated threat level?
A friend, got me to perhaps rethink my carry posture.
Currently I rarely Carry.
Rational: First I live in Maine (Statistically, living in Maine I have the least likelihood of being a victim of a violent crime than any other state in the union). Secondly, when you look at a break down of people that become victims of violent crimes many (certainly not all) are engaged in high risk behaviors that increased their exposure to potential violence. None of which, do I participate in. So for me it was an equation; Dose the risk and inconvenience that I introduce into my daily life by carrying a deadly weapon on my person out weigh the risk that I am trying to mitigate (Violent attack) by carrying that weapon. For me, under most circumstances I believed the answer to be no, considering my location and lifestyle.
There are circumstances under which I perceive an elevated risk and do carry. But for Day in Day out all day, the risk that I accept by carrying did not in my mind out weigh the risk that I was trying to counter. After all, my goal was to make my family and myself safer. Would 24/7 carry make them and I safer or increase our exposure to risk?
A conversation that I had with a friend has caused me to challenge this rational.
Your Thoughts?

Carrying more or less frequently won't increase your chances of a violent encounter. Only a change in your behavior will do that.
Statistics are interesting things - for example, middle-class white males are the demographic least likely to be victims of violent crime, but as a demographic carry and own the greatest amount of guns.
Go with whatever makes you most comfortable.

Keep it simple, Carry anytime you can carry legally.
You'll be better off feeling uncomfortable because you aren't carrying then you will being uncomfortable because you are.

I can't recall any random violent crimes against middle aged white guys in the 30 mile radius of where I live 90% of my life. Sure there is crime, even violent crime. Mostly against women or between trash that knows each other or robberies or bar fights. Just a fact. I'm not a woman, don't hang with trash and don't work in a bank or store or visit rough bars. Being said, I don't carry much in that radius.
Not to say I don't carry at all. The wife and I go out fishing at night or in the sticks I carry, head to the city for dinner I carry, sometimes I just carry for the heck of it. But someone would be dang hard pressed to convince me I need to carry every waking moment of the day.
My advise to you is don't let anyone spout off a bunch of one line statements like "rather be tried by 12 instead of carried by six" or " bad things can happen in good places" in attempt to convince you to carry or to justify there reasons. Use your own head and do what you think you need to do. If that means carry, so be it, if not, that will work too if your situation is like mine.

I carry whenever I legally can. I'm not clairvoyant. I have no way to know if today is more likely to be my unlucky day than any other day.
As for avoiding risky behaviors, I already do that and continue to do that even when I'm carrying a gun. I might be carrying a gun, but I still don't want to have to use it. As a rule of thumb, if I think I might need a gun, I don't go there or do that.
As I see it, carrying a gun for self defense is for that last small bit of uncertainty that can not be otherwise eliminated.

Every time I think to myself:
"Hmmm, maybe I won't carry today",
the thought is soon followed by:
"Hmmm, but maybe this is the day I will most need to".

If I knew ahead of time when and where I would have to use deadly force to defend myself then I would just avoid that place at that time. You can't know when or where so I carry any time I can.
As for statistics...here's my take. You can quote all sorts of percentages about chance of rain, chance of winning the lottery, chance of being attacked, but the true chances are only two. The chance is either 0% or 100% and you never know which it will be. If today is your 100% day and you are 0% prepared then I'm 100% sure you won't like the outcome.

I carry when ever and where ever legal to do so.
Bad things happen to good people, in good perceived safe places when least expected.
As Frank stated ,
AM, PM, odd days, even days. Carry on the days that have the partial word "DAY" in them.

I guess peoples definition of "inconvenience" varies, but with the proper gun, holster, and carry position that fits you personally, it shouldn't be more than a minor issue (unless, of course, your particular state puts too many restrictions on where you can legally carry).
I rarely feel a NEED to carry, but generally do so anytime I legally can. For me, it's no different than my wallet or flashlight in a pocket; I don't really notice it, but if I should need it then it is there. If I don't need it (and I hope I never do) then the effort I expended to do so is inconsequential.

In my opinion when people can be randomly shot down because they participate in behavior no worse than going to the movies, I carry when/where I can.

I will be getting my carry permit this weekend. I agree with the others. I will carry wherever it is not strictly and clearly signed as prohibited.
Why have a carry permit if you're not going to carry?

I haven't ever needed a firearm (or any weapon) to defend myself. Yet, I had one friend murdered in a college shooting and another active shooter was stopped at a church I have been to (NIU and New Life Chuch).
While the chances of needing a concealed handgun are very low, if you stay out of risky areas and don't associate with criminals, the fact remains that there are statistical outliers. If you can legally carry, and are trained, why not be prepared?

Safer with or Safer With out?
My goal is not just to Carry for Carry's sake but to be safer.
Based on my lifestyle and location, I believe that there are times that I am safer without. There are other times that a CCW makes me safer.

I like the idea of carrying anytime I am not sleeping. (and then I sleep near a gun)
Also I do not like to carry in the shower...........
But that's about it!

I think that the OP's question contains some excellent analysis.
There are downsides to carrying. You can't, for example, have an accidental discharge if you don't carry a firearm. The OP is simply considering his situation and balancing the upsides and the downsides.
I carry all the time, because it's easier than carrying some of the time. However, the OP's reasoning does impact what I carry - like no extra magazine.

Carry, either carry 24/7 where legal for you. Or don't carry at all.

Define the"risk I accept while carrying". What would that cover? I carry full time when leaving home and most of the time at home. I don't have a pistol on me while doing hard, sweaty work although it likely isn't far away. Kind of difficult to pack a piece in addition to a tool belt and a running chain saw is bound to fill the works of the shooter with sawdust and chips.
If you're packing hit or miss, it's very likely you won't have your gun when you need it. Either carry a firearm or alter your life to preclude any chance of being in danger.

Second, all the violent crime victims in Maine lived in the same low crime state where the odds said it wouldn't happen to them.
Third, that it's going to happen to somebody is a 100% certainty. The question isn't do you need a gun. It's really, are you going to bet your life you won't? In life, we play the odds all the time. Make your choice and live with it.
Last, we don't carry guns because we need to. We carry because the possibility exists that we'll need one.

Recall Details
Ford has recalled certain 1990 E and F Series 4x2 vehicles equipped with an E4OD transmission and a one piece driveshaft due to an issue with the park mechanism in the transmission. Some vehicles may experience a failure to engage the park gear, which can cause the vehicle to roll if the parking brake is not set. Dealers will replace the snap ring and install a revised extension housing

The free agent market hasn't been kind to NFL veteran offensive linemen.
Because the 2013 draft was filled with talented young linemen most of the tackles had to wait months, until after the draft, to get a deal done.
Some offensive linemen are still struggling to find work, but the Miami Dolphins gave one former Pro Bowler work on Sunday, signing Tyson Clabo to a one-year deal.
"He will be a great addition to the offensive line both on the field and in the meeting room," said General Manager Jeff Ireland, who also signed Florida Atlantic linebacker David Hinds after a tryout at the team's recently rookie mini-camp.

When you stop to think about becoming an article writer, you should think about how writing is just like a cook who is trying to season to the pallet of hungry consumers, you have all the power on whether or not your dish is received poorly or extremely well. As an article writer, you are going to need to be creative, entertaining, and highly energetic. No one wants to read an article that is boring, so have fun with it! One thing to keep in mind when you're trying to get into the field of being a freelance or employed writer is that you should never poach from another author. This, as you can imagine is a very big no-no.
While it is perfectly fine to use other articles as inspiration for your own, there is no reason for you to take their work. If you have trouble with coaxing your muse out to play, listen to some music, turn on your favorite film, or ask your editor for some helpful hints. Overall, when you have inspiration and a little bit of creativity it is extremely easy for you to become the best possible article writer than you can be. Remember, if you aren't passionate about the topics, whether they are fun and exciting or technical, you may want to speak to your editor, generally, they will try to cater to your own personal preferences to optimize the quality of your articles. This all falls back down to human nature. Without enjoyment, we will ultimately hit the wall and burn out.
In sort, becoming an article writer in today's Internet savvy world is as easy as 1, 2, and 3 all you have to do is put yourself out there, find a company that is willing to take you under their wing. Companies like Niche Writers who care about their writers and all that they have to offer their customers. On the flip-side, if you're looking for a tenacious bunch of writers who will help to create the best possible content for your website, you will want to give Niche Writers the thought they deserve.

What To Do With All Those Extra Easter Peeps (Because You Weren't Going To Eat Them Anyway)
I don't know about you, but every Easter the Easter Bunny would deliver a basket to both my sister and I filled with sweets. Despite having told the Easter Bunny year after year of my disdain for Peeps, the damn bunny refused to listen. The lack of acknowledgment on the Easter Bunny's part regarding this issue resulted in many, many wasted and unconsumed Peeps. If only the Easter Bunny left them at the CVS so they could go on sale that following Monday instead of dropping them at my house, the world probably would have been better off and some lucky Peep-lovin' person would have been a happy duck.
As we got older, my sister and I realized that if we put an air hole in the packages of all those Peeps we'd end up with some very colorful weapons. Do you know what it feels like to have a rock hard Peep chucked at your head? It hurts. A lot. If only my sister and I in our wild youth had access to the Internet and the world of possibilities for Peeps outside of weaponry, we could have been far more creative in our stale Peep pursuits. However, they didn't have Internet in the 1980's which also led to she and I having to play outside in the sunshine and all that malarkey.
I may have moved into my own place in NYC, but that doesn't stop the Easter Bunny from mailing me Peeps every year as some sort of sick joke. The Easter Bunny, at least the one who frequents my life, finds it funny to do such things. Sick Easter Bunny. But this year I'm one step ahead of the Easter Bunny and have found a myriad of ways to deal with all those Peeps. From fashion to home decor to exciting new entrees, Peeps actually do have a purpose outside of weaponry.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has extended the comment period for the proposed new rule on table saw safety until February 10, 2012. This action is in response to a request from the Power Tool Institute for more information about the injury data used by the commission in determining the need for such a rule. The full statement from CPSC is available here. An additional 800 pages of data has been released to the PTI under the Freedom of Information Act, and this data will be available soon on the CPSC website. We'll be studying this data as soon as possible, and will be reporting on what it contains here.
As usual with a committee of any kind but ezpecially a beauacratic committee the problem is NOT addressed. You cannot pass regulations and laws for machines because they don't care. The people who are left behind to enforce the new laws are the same people who are sticking their hands and fingers in the blades etc. Why don't you address the real problem and that is individual responsibility of the person running the machine.The machine unfortunately does not know the difference between a finger and a board and will cut whatever is put in front of it,so guess who is responsible for what goes in front of it? If the lawyer who is pushing saw stop down our throats is really and truly interested in safety and not profit, maybe he will agree to pay for all the new blades and replacement parts out of his profits every time saw stop saves someone from their own stupidity. Short of being hit by lightning, every accident is preventable. They are due to neglect, carelessness, indifference, and just plain dumbness. Any person who is not aware of the dangers of spinning blades of any kind should not even be in a shop let alone trying to work in one. Let's concentrate on educating people on how to use machinery instead of trying to regulate brains into places where they are not currently residing.
There are literally millions of "inherently dangerous" tools and other things that people use everyday. Do we really want to go down this road? Anybody ever read Heinlein's "I, Robot" or watch the movie? Remember the only logical outcome of the 3 Laws of Robotics?
Having been a woodworker for the last 30 years running a small custom shop this issue is definitely a tricky one. I have taught many people to use the table saw in both my business and classroom settings.
I can not imagine being able to operate my business(costs) especially during the start-up years when I might have needed 3 SawStop type machines. In these 30 plus years in and around shops I have seen or heard about only 2 bad accidents. One was my husband who did not like me to teach him about saw safety or the use of push sticks, too bad because it was too simple. The other was a young man in a warehouse with no guidance and an old saw.
I myself have logged many many hours using tools, practicing safe tool use, and have been blessed never to have been injured. I respect the tools and use safety devices as much as possible.
Will the government make these requirements to all tools/machines? Can we make these requirements for schools and larger business?
Just my thoughts,
Lois Snyder
all the laws and regulations that the gov. can put on to the table saw will not cure the problem because there is no cure for STUPIDITY.
When you have persons that don't use the grey matter that is between thier ears for anything other then to hold thier ears apart they get injured and then its always someone elses fault that it happened not thiers. So get a lawyer that wants to make abig name for himself to file a lawsuit and you will win big for being stupid.
I have a better idea let pass a law that makes it the responsibilaty of each indvidual to take responsibilaty for thier own actions instead of blaming someone else.
After about forty years having woodworking as a hobby, which is now turning into a "part-time" endeavor (gallery quality jewelry boxes, I hope), I've never had a table saw accident. That is, until this year. Within the past six months, and a recent as mid -September, I've managed to (in order) cut into the tip of my left index finger (no doctor required), sustained a rather deep gouge to my left thumb (needed doctor's help to stem the bleeding), via kick-back even as the blade was winding down. And lastly, and most serious, the removal of the upper portion of my right pinkie through sheer dumbness, while cutting miter joints via a sacrificial fence. My saw (Ryobi BT3100) has an aftermarket riving knife and excellent blade guard (The Shark, made and sold by the Leeway Workshop. Unfortunately, the guard was sitting on a shelf, not where it was suppose to be.
I attribute these accidents to my familiarity with the table saw and the lack of attention that comes with the complacency one adopts after many years of accident free working. I believe that this is the reason I never injured myself in my early years.
To cut (no pun intended) a long story shorter, safety measures are needed, but when they become clumsy or inhibit the flow of what you're doing, they're going to sit unused on a shelf.
I'm not sure that SawStop is the way to go, but right now, it appears to be the best way to save all the body parts you were born with.
The only "road block" to buying a SawStop is price. Yes I know hospital costs far greater than the cost of the saw make the SawStop a lot more financially sane, but with this miserable economy and the "it's never going to happen to me" mind-set a strong reason not to purchase one.
Government standards will definitely increase the price of table saws, and leave us without any choice, other then spending the extra money and then finding a way NOT to use this "expensive" new safeguard.
Having lost the tips of three fingers on my left hand about 10 years ago to a table saw and now owning a SawStop cabinet saw I cannot imagine a woodworker not wanting the technology that can keep a person safe when using a table saw. When the SawStop table saw became available my wife did not ask "if" I were going to get one, but "when." Whether it is SawStop or some other technology that can be adapted to any table saw, band saw, chop saw or router … I will always have it in my shop. Preventing life changing injuries is the way to go. Even the City of Seattle has bought the SawStop for their public works shops because their liabilit insurance costs went down.

Fun on the 4th
We had company over the 4th of July weekend -- Roger and Joy Hennen. We first met them in Berlin, Germany, about 20 years ago. They now live in Oklahoma, but they occasionally pass through Kentucky on their way home from visiting Roger's family in West Virginia.
On the 4th, we visited the antique shops on Main Street in Cadiz, KY. Roger was looking for old license plates, and he found quite a few that he liked.
Cadiz has at least five antique stores on Main Street and some of them have several floors. We breezed through them in less than three hours, but it wouldn't have been difficult to spend more time.
I saw a sign in one of the stores that said something like "If you want it, buy it! It may not be here tomorrow." Maybe I should have done that. I saw a copy of the Family History Book, Christian County, Kentucky, the second volume of the most recent Christian County history books. It had a price tag of $60. I would like to have it but I was reluctant to pay that price.
I did buy a couple of interesting old books and a sturdy ice cream scoop. Together, they added up to about $10. I've been surviving without the family histories book for quite a while, and I'll continue living without it, I guess.
Roger and Joy left early this morning, so the holiday is over and life is mostly back to normal. Back to work, tomorrow.

'UFC on FOX 4′ Picks Up Lyoto Machida vs. Ryan Bader, Travis Browne vs. Ben Rothwell
(Don't roll your eyes, Bader is a fine opponent.)
Fresh off his decision win over Quinton Jackson, light-heavyweight contender Ryan Bader will be returning to action at UFC on FOX 4 (August 4th, Los Angeles) against another former champion, Lyoto Machida. UFC.com confirmed the news yesterday evening. Machida most recently got choked to sleep by Jon Jones in December, which was his third loss in his last four appearances. With Bader riding another hot streak, could the Dragon be in trouble here?
Also on the card, heavyweights Travis Browne and Ben Rothwell — who won UFC 145′s Submission of the Night and Knockout of the Night bonuses, respectively — will be facing off in a guaranteed slugfest. (You're welcome, Joe Silva.) Browne is still undefeated in his MMA career, with his last three victories coming against Chad Griggs, Rob Broughton, and Stefan Struve. Meanwhile, Rothwell's first-round knockout of Brendan Schaub finally established him as a legitimate threat in the UFC.
UFC on FOX 4 will also feature Hector Lombard's Octagon debut against Brian Stann, and Joe Lauzon vs. Terry Etim.Read More DIGG THIS

Last week, prior to the PS4 release, the larger gaming media pounced on every report of a PS4 problem like rabid animals. This week, with the Xbox One coming out tomorrow, reports of issues with the system are generally being ignored. But with the system technically already launched in parts of Europe, we're starting to see issues pop up along with video proof.
It has also emerged, that a few Xbox One's are having problems, with the rejecting of discs, as a vine has shown. Although take all these reports with a pinch of salt, clarification from Microsoft should indicate actual fail rate. http://stickskills.com/2013...
As with the PS4, which turned out to be normal launch-window failure rate, let's not jump the gun.
NO!! We need to assume that this issue is a LARGE scale thing and ignore official reports of less than 1% failures. ALSO lets not forget...we need to claim that this is the NEXT RROD in a pathetic attempt to see the other console go down in flames because it would somehow fill another pathetic rivalry void with in us all.
Obvious sarcasm is obvious....but maybe you can see how pathetic some of the xbox fans were about all this. Electronics failure rates happen especially on NEW hardware. Heck most electronics have somewhere between 8-10% failure rates
This is no different. Less that 5% is considered an outstanding accomplishment. I know PS4 AND Xbox one will have launch failures....every electronic does. Heck when the iphone launched it had a 15% failure rate.......
Put things into perspective before being a ridiculous fanboy making claims.
called this too...im on a roll today.
hats off to both ps4 & x1 gamers with broken systems. i know its painful.
Wonder if the media would over react like they did to ps4
Just saying download the damn update on a flashdrive people if you going to get an Xbox or a PS4 .saves you tons of time and no network issues .All that video shows is that he should have downloaded the damn update on a flashdrive .
Good thing i'm getting my consoles Next year.No need to be an early adopter this gen
whoa there...
This was obviously going to happen. A lot of fanboys jumped on the PS4 failures, and a lot will probably jump on these failures. Unless we start seeing an RROD-level of failure, I think we can assume everything is okay. Plus, the console is huge so there should be enough ventilation.
i presume it will be fixed if he just grabs the update on pc and puts on usb,aint as tho the xbone is really broke
although not being able to play without updating kind of sucks
Seriously? Lol fanboy website gets approved on here... This is a video of someone unable to download the update. It is NOT a broken Xbox One/DOA/BLOD unit like with PS4's. Not saying their won't be any broken units, but this is not one of them.
Also, for those unaware, Xbox Live is undergoing last minute maintenance/switch over right now, which could very well be the issue with whoever seems to have gotten their Xbox One already and is trying to download the update.
Well, that's 2!
Where did you find that video?
EDIT: Ignore the question... it's in the link! :)
You sound really excited, I wouldn't say you're a fanboy but I would say you are putting a bit too much energy into this silly console wars debate. Why do you care what fanboys of whichever camp think? That's what puzzles me the most why do people care what the fans of whichever console think? If only 1 out of a billion consoles fails and there are a few losers harping on it, so what? let em, why should anyone care anyways. Pick the one you like or pick em both but lets stop caring what other people say.
@hakeem0996 except MS removed the offline update from their site..
Oh get over yourself. It's no more "pathetic" than Sony fans spitting on anything Xbox. Christ, the hypocrisy on this site is a joke. You console kids are always good for a laugh. You resent Xbox fans poking at the PS4 failure rates knowing FULL well the Sony camp would do the same thing....What a joke.
Everyone will be so quick to jump on the doom and gloom bandwagon and say one console is defective solely because of a select few defective consoles.
This is what I wrote 5 days ago when the PS4 hardware issues were being blown WAY out of proportion.
"Those that would make this into something it's not might want to take a breath. The next console is about to be launched, and if anything, they are the ones that have something to prove when it comes to reliability.
All electronics have a failure rate. Until it's a known fact what the percentage that rate ends up being it's a moot point. Personally I don't think either side should rub salt in the wounds of a gamer going through hardware issues. We gamers are like kids on Christmas morning when we get our shiny new consoles to welcome the dawn of a new era of gaming. You have any idea how discouraged the people having these issues must feel? I've been there and it's nothing but frustration. Anyone that gets enjoyment out of another's dismay has issues they might want to go see a doctor for and get checked."
"Wonder if the media would over react like they did to ps4"
Nope. Because everyone is still rolling their eyes over the PS4's problems being blown out of proportions. You can call it, "being desensitized"
Honestly what's wrong with you. I am a PC gamer and all I heard b4 any of these 2 systems released was RRoD2. Hmm I am sure Xbox Fans wouldn't be saying that. Honestly grow up. PS fans are known to be the worst out of the 4.
The iPhone 4 had a bad design flaw with it's receptors. Yet Apple is recognized for quality on software.
It's finally time to see how will media react to this. Will they react like PS4 or will they remain silent?
The problems with XO/PS4 could be miniscule or it could be large scale. Who knows? People thought that the RROD was an isolated incident at first, too, especially a mere week in.
After X360, launch problems wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.
But this is probably just a hiccup that can be fixed quickly.
I did have to laugh at this article.
"Based on the video, it's possible it's a bad power supply judging by the light on the power brick. If it isn't that, it could possibly be something else"
At least they covered every option reason of fault.
There are going to be issues occuring with launches like these. The PS3 had them, the 360 had them, the ps4 has them and inevitably the XB1 will have them. The generation will get through them
I agree but don't include the xb 360 as normal a 20-30% fail rate puts it in a catagory of its own..
He nees to buy a new HDTV that screen its all screwed theres no uniformity on the screen black!People want to play well and play on that horrible screen.
Why did this guy say 720? Bit fanboyish!
He sounds stupid to me I bet my wife could update and that is saying somthin!
Yeah, that is saying something. It's you saying your imaginary wife is stupid. That's pretty disrespectful man, you should remember that imaginary people have feelings too. She's going to make you sleep on the couch now.
maybe his TV is 720p did u consider that ? or u just sensitive to the word 720p
Why even buy it if ur a ps4fanboy, and maybe his internet connection sucks maybe that's why his console is not updating
He is VERY sore about 720.
I had a PM from him crying about how COD would be 1080p on X1, when proven wrong he cried and blocked me.
I blocked you because you are a rude person!
For the record it was you who pm me first in anger over my trolling :)
A keyboard warrior, someone who is very rude behind a keyboard because they know nothin bad will happen to them.
Right before he says 720p, at the bottom of his screen it says 720p. This is why he says it.
Thrust my dear boy you REALLY need to stop making things up on the internet its not healthy.
Just chalk this up as ANOTHER fail my dear little misunderstood fanboy :)
I liked how you call him 'fanboyish' despite actually BUYING a X1....
OOOOOOOOOO thrust got his arse handed to him lol nice work MR_writer lol, see ppl cant even lie on the internet anymore because they can be so easily found out.
No, he is not happy at 3am after spending $500 and waiting months. Listen to the tone of his voice.
Hopefully it updates in the end for him though lol
Hopefully a good indication with the review consoles not having major issues is a good sign..
I don't think any journal site reported hardware issues..
@Abzdine The day one patch gets rid of the DRM. Has nothing to do with the X1 bricking.
I had a similar issue with my PS4. It would not except my DS4 and a simple reboot fixed it.
So the second video could easily be that the patch has been taken down until official launch? as for the first 1 well it cant be an issue with the power cable as it does attempt to power on.
Eitherway next gen is now here, well for me its next week when the ps4 launches
Somebody needs to try harder than this. He should give me that X1. I might could get it to work. He should try the emergency update file Microsoft has for the X1. Also he would need to make sure he's using the right OS type for the USB update.
I think that MS took away the ability to update via USB.
iTS a strange issue...
Seems like its software related. which is probably a good thing because that means theoretically a patch can be released that might fit it.
But, still....just another thing that makes me think they weren't ready to launch so early. Especially if its software related instead of hardware.
Now let's see how the table turn now that there is proof some x1 hardware malfunction.
Can't wait to compare on Amazon and Youtube
Need to change the title... Broken Xbox One? It's not broken, the servers are probably acting up, you know, considering it's launch hour!!!!
disc drive fail rates should apply here for what ever manufacturer Microsoft used
maybe we should start making fake reviews on amazon...lololol
now now its just a few systems the internet makes things look worse than it really is same thing goes for ps4 a few systems have problems and they make it sound like 50thousand systems crash fanboys need to cool it on both sides let Microsoft do their thing its a new console software errors bound to happen every electronics has it my iPhone crash over 30 time when i download the new ios7 please
Shouldn't the article be updated to reflect the fact that it is now working for the guy in the video? And that it was just a matter of servers being overloaded? Just saying, seems a bit desperate tbh.
This is sometimes what happens when people purchase a day one electronic item.
There are likely to be bugs, errors etc which have not been forseen.
It happens, as long as its not a RROD type error its ok.
Im glad the consoles out as the xbox fanboys who have been trying to trash the ps4 and lying about it will now instead go on the defensive and things will just settle down when it comes to failure rates and we will get a real perspective.
Yes, it's a console launch, just like the PS4. Some units will be messed up. It is inevitable.
Yup I Busted my PS4s cherry last night and had to unplug her.
Got a hard screen freeze playing KZSF.
dics error and noise
imma say the same thing i said when this happened with the PS4 lets just chill out and not jump to conclusions.
I prefer the PS4 but I agree with this. No need to go up in arms and fling mud until this is proven to be a widespread issue of more than 5% to 10% or so.
I am glad my PS4 has been working flawlessly. It just sucks if anything anyone has been waiting for is DOA.
This is what I feel as well. Just the act of laughing at anyone in this situation, or even talking like "oh it happens, no big deal", is just disrespectful to anyone who runs into this. It's just sad the lengths we will go to defend or bash a toy. It doesn't even matter if we agree about the point being discussed, if one likes MS and the other Sony, there will be no compromise. Also game on man, enjoy your new console.
MSFT knows there is a problem with updates(more so with USB attempts). What does this have to do with failed hardware? LOL
Fanboy *THEM TOO* spin/damage control. Notice how the trolls in here are quick to point out PS4's issues.
your really sad go to the link theirs another vid.
@onago Who give's a shit -_-
im starting to feel convinced that powerofgreen is either a microsoft employee or owns stock in the company. hes the only person who uses their stock symbol MSFT to say microsoft. oh and that whole all in defense force thing
on topic: theres bound to be failures on any new device. it shouldn't have been big news for ps4, and if numbers are minimal on xbox, it also should not be big news.
Grammar Police out in full force.
It's just a damn comment section calm you're tits.

The talk in New England and Houston last week was all about downplaying tonight's highly hyped meeting between the Patriots and Texans at Gillette Stadium. Is it a big game? Sure, but not because the 9-3 Patriots and 11-1 Texans, both of whom have already secured their postseason reservations, are jockeying for seeding placement and trying to send a message to the other.
The talk in New England and Houston last week was all about downplaying tonight's highly hyped meeting between the Patriots and Texans at Gillette Stadium.
Is it a big game? Sure, but not because the 9-3 Patriots and 11-1 Texans, both of whom have already secured their postseason reservations, are jockeying for seeding placement and trying to send a message to the other.
No, it's a big game because they all are at this time of the year for contending clubs.
"Once we get into December the games become more and more important," cornerback Devin McCourty said. "We just have to go out there and play while also realizing this game doesn't decide anything. It's a regular-season game for both teams."
Houston, do you copy?
"We're going to play in a lot of big games and coming into New England, obviously that's a big, big game," said seventh-year coach Gary Kubiak, whose Texans are 21-7 since the start of last season. "We're really trying just to stay focused on our football, trying to improve."
Refreshingly, not everyone toed the party line. One player laid it out for what it is.
"It's big," said Andre Johnson, the Texans' four-time All-Pro receiver. "You know how big it is — biggest game in the history of this franchise. It'll be a big test for us and we'll be ready to go."
This game really is important, and to both teams.
The Patriots have been to five Super Bowls under coach Bill Belichick, but they've never gotten there as a three seed or lower. Lose tonight and they have little chance of wrestling the No. 1 seed away from Houston and the odds greatly diminish for beating out Baltimore or Denver for the No. 2 slot.
The Texans entered Week 14 tied with the Atlanta Falcons for the best record in football and the only team that's undefeated on the road (6-0), having won at Denver and Chicago. They're ranked second in the league in points scored (29.3) and fourth in points allowed (18.4).
Still, there are plenty of doubters outside Houston. They point to the Texans being pushed to overtime by the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars and dysfunctional Detroit Lions in consecutive games last month and losing to the Green Bay Packers by 18 points at home in a nationally televised contest in mid-October.
Beating the Patriots here would be a signature win, one that sends a definite warning shot to the rest of the NFL.
This one has all the makings of a high-scoring affair, starting with the fact that Tom Brady & Co. have historically bounced back in a big way after turning in a subpar performance, as was the case last Sunday in Miami. The Texans have what it takes to keep up in a point-a-palozza.
All-Pro running back Arian Foster has rushed for an AFC-leading 1,102 yards and is a terrific complement to Johnson, who has 74 receptions for 1,114 yards. Tight end Owen Daniels has 50 catches, six for touchdowns, but sidekick Garrett Graham (25, 3) was ruled out yesterday with a concussion.
That's a major blow for the Texans. They've used two tight ends a league-high 84.1 percent of the time, but — unbelievably — only have two on their 53-man roster, leaving them one short with Graham's absence.
Rookie Logan Brock is on the practice squad and could be activated for what would be his professional debut.
As for quarterback, Matt Schaub is 15-1 (.938) in his last 16 starts and been sacked a league-low tying 15 times despite ranking 14th in pass attempts. Credit there goes to a line anchored by left tackle Duane Brown, a second-team All-Pro selection last year who currently might be the best player in the league at his position.
"He's one of the best guys we've faced," Belichick said. "I don't think he's really given up anything all year in the passing game. He's a good run blocker, he's good at the point of attack and he's quick and he does a good job on the backside cutoff blocks as well."
Eighth-year center Chris Myers is having a Pro Bowl-worthy season, but the Texans will be without right tackle Derek Newton (knee) and will be starting a rookie, Ben Jones, at right guard.
The Patriots will counter with a defense that has shown improvement as of late. It's also come against some of the worst offenses in the league.
The Patriots have beaten the Jets (29th) twice along with the Rams (25th), Bills (17th), Colts (3rd) and Dolphins (28th) during their six-game winning streak. The Texans will be their biggest test since facing Peyton Manning and the Broncos in Week 5.
It's one they're likely to get a failing grade against. Fortunately for the Patriots, the Texans fare even worse against Brady.
Rich Garven's prediction: Patriots 38, Texans 34

Revolutionaries throughout the Americas and the Caribbean owe a great debt to Hugo Chavez. His selfless struggle for the advancement of the masses of poor and oppressed occupied him 24/7. It was with sheer determination and a lifetime of struggle that this great champion of the oppressed, Comandante Hugo Chavez, led a revolution that provides us with a working example of what he termed "21st century socialism," where people of all ethnicities have a place under the sun.

ORANGE PARK, Fla. (March 9, 2013) – Freshman Vivienne Chin (Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia) and senior Chloe Garner (Somerset West, South Africa) both carded scores of 2-over-par 74 to lead the ETSU women's golf team during second round action Saturday afternoon in the JMU Eagle Landing Invitational at the Eagle Landing Golf Club.

NEW YORK (AP) — Nicosia, Cyprus, 1973: Riding with my parents and two elder siblings in a taxi, the kind of large Mercedes favored in the Middle East. The driver gestures to an alley where you can just make out people behind barricades.
"Turks," he spits derisively.
We keep quiet. We hadn't been brought up to think of any people that way. Later that day, my father tells us that things don't bode well for Cyprus, a place we had been coming to for three summer holidays and that he visited frequently on business over the years.
A year later, war broke out.
My thoughts have turned frequently to Cyprus and its patient, resilient people in recent weeks as the ruinous financial crisis that swept across southern Europe engulfs the tiny Mediterranean island. The angry and worried faces, waiting in ATM lines to withdraw their money, were very familiar to me. Over four decades, to my family, the country became a convoluted relative of sorts.
Famagusta, that most beautiful of ancient port towns (its name in Greek means "hidden in the sand") had been our idyllic destination: a golden beach lined with luxury hotels and a child's swimming pool dream. The aroma of street vendors' charcoal-grilled corn on the cob lingers in my nose.
In 1974, Famagusta was occupied by invading Turkey. There were deaths and disappearances, and thousands of Greek Cypriots lost their homes and businesses. Parts of Famagusta remain neglected to decay even today. The island of Cyprus is now split into the Turkish north and the Greek south.
Within minutes of meeting Cypriots, I usually can tell if they were among the displaced. I get the sense and then I ask, anxious to share memories of that lost paradise.
We never returned to Famagusta, part of an internationally unrecognized republic. But two years after the war, my family purchased a plot of land in the Greek Cypriot territory — a small place called Coral Bay.
Cyprus was in shell shock; postwar recovery was taking hold only slowly. The capital, Nicosia, was divided by a "green line." The Turkish Cypriot flag was emblazoned on a hill. From the Greek side, you couldn't miss it. Nicosia's airport was now out of bounds and Larnaca's took in the many visitors to the island. I remember the tortuous, hours-long journey on winding single-lane roads, often in the dead of night.
This was one of the many things that would change. Tourism boomed, the national infrastructure modernized and the economy and the island's people began to prosper.
I think back to the accelerated construction as if it were a time-lapse video. Hotels, holiday apartment blocks, shops, supermarkets, restaurants — build, build, build and then build more.
In Coral Bay, our house now stood proudly. It was named "Samantah," combining the first letters of my family's names. The battles of foreigners owning property abroad were well known to us: haranguing the municipality, chasing after builders, grappling with electricity and water issues.
But you could also just walk out into the garden and pluck a lemon off a tree for evening cocktails. The beach was two minutes' walk. We listened to the BBC World Service ("This is London ...," my family's home at the time) on the veranda as a gentle breeze cut the stifling heat.
We spent wondrous times together there. And of course there were bumps, too.
In 1983, my father, outraged that a restaurant had sold out of Kleftiko, the national dish that he had promised to his guests, declared to the owner we would never return. We didn't.
"Nice move, Dad," my brother, who would later become a successful restaurateur in Manhattan, remarked dryly on the walk home. "Now our dining-out options have been reduced by 50 percent."
The relative unspoiled, sun-kissed nature of a traditional existence began to fade. In its place, hurtling toward us, came a party-town hedonism and a myriad of places blaring, "English Breakfast All Day Here!"
And the price of everything went up and up.
There seemed to be an ongoing national obsession with accumulating wealth as each year passed, though many nations are like this. But in Cyprus, I always sensed the bubble was going to burst.
As I grew older, I began to see another, less savory side. After the fall of the Soviet Union, an avalanche of money poured into Cyprus — a good amount of it ill-gotten. There were Russian and Georgian extortion rackets and mafia-style hits. We heard whispers of a villa near to ours being used for prostitution.
This is the money, or some of it, that swelled Cypriot bank coffers to $88 billion, which was then followed by catastrophic losses on Greek bonds and the prospect of people having to bail out the state with their own hard-earned savings.
But for us, for many years, still there were the warm people, the lovely beach and the fresh, delicious food. It was still a place for our family to congregate from far-flung places. Whenever there, we felt part of the community.
Characters came and went: the affable Lebanese water ski instructor who just disappeared one summer (drug smuggling, we heard); the kindly and stately family lawyer; the driver cum supermarket and restaurant owner who ran off with a Romanian woman half his age, deserting his family; the German neighbor who suffered through the Allied firebombing of Hamburg as a young girl in World War II and wanted to visit London to see where the Luftwaffe had struck.
My parents retired to the house in Coral Bay. It didn't last very long.
In 1992, my father suffered a fatal heart attack just a year into his retirement. Months later, my brother-in-law fell seriously ill and passed away not long after he, my sister and their young son had made a new life teaching at the international school and living in a house next door that my parents had built for her. Eight years later, my mother fell while dropping fruit off to a Syrian friend. She broke her hip and died two months later.
After that, the visits from my siblings and me became less frequent. It was only a matter of time before we drew the curtain on a significant part of our lives.
We sold the two properties to one of the Island's hotel and real-estate tycoons in 2005, a year after the country joined the EU. A seat at that top table was, for Cyprus, a dream finally realized — and one that would turn sour.
The Cypriot entrepreneurial spirit became its curse. Not thinking of the future took over. In the end, it was a soft target because it carried that desire to make the easy buck on its sleeve for some to exploit and bad financial decisions were made all around.
My last trip there was in 2006 with my pregnant wife and my sister. I expected to return much sooner, and I have watched intently from afar the successes and tribulations of this beloved relative.
I realize now: Cyprus is in a time of need, and it's high time I went back. I have a son, soon to be 7, the age I was when I first took in the wonders of Aphrodite's island. I have some family history to share with him.

Royals' offense sputters in Duffy's first start
KANSAS CITY -- Not much going on with the Royals' bats since the Detroit Tigers came to town.
Left-hander Drew Smyly shut out the Royals for seven innings on two hits and the Tigers went on to post a 9-2 victory on Saturday night at Kauffman Stadium.View Full Game Coverage
KANSAS CITY -- Not much going on with the Royals' bats since the Detroit Tigers came to town.
Left-hander Drew Smyly shut out the Royals for seven innings on two hits and the Tigers went on to post a 9-2 victory on Saturday night at Kauffman Stadium.View Full Game Coverage
That came on the heels of Friday night's 8-2 loss when the Royals mustered just four hits. The downturn came just after a run-scoring bounce just a few days ago.
"But these things turn around quick," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "You look at Detroit's club and they're swinging the bats really good, all of them. They're hot right now."
The Royals have followed a hopeful phase of four wins in five games with three straight losses, two of them to the team they'll have to catch in the American League Central, the Tigers.
"They've got good pitching, which attributes to some of it," Yost said. "But we think we're a better offensive club than we've shown so far."
A hometown crowd of 29,200 saw an encouraging return to starting pitching by left-hander Danny Duffy. He got himself in and out of trouble, giving up just one run in his four innings.
"He danced into trouble and danced out of it for the most part," Yost said. "He left the ballgame down 1-0. I thought he did a nice job of keeping us in check there."
The only run off Duffy came in the fourth inning after he'd loaded the bases on three walks with one out. Nick Castellanos hit a line drive that Alex Gordon rushed in and grabbed. Unexpectedly, Miguel Cabrera took off from the third base after the catch and scored.
It might have seemed that Gordon, the outfield arm par excellence, could have bagged Cabrera at the plate. But Gordon was thinking double play at second base, not home.
"My first instinct was I saw Victor [Martinez] off the bag at second and I was going to try to double him up and get out of the inning right there," Gordon said. "I wanted to come up throwing and at first I didn't see anybody on second base so that's why I didn't throw. ... After that, it was just too late to get Cabrera. I made a running throw, but it was off-balance. Just a good play by them."
Gordon's throw was far too late and well off the plate, and the Tigers had a 1-0 lead. When Duffy ended that inning, he'd thrown 75 pitches and that was enough for his first start.
"I made a couple big pitches, got a couple big punchouts. It could've been a lot uglier than it was," Duffy said. "But we'll build on this outing personally. I've just got to be better. I'm not happy because I came up with the loss, but I felt like I kept the team in the game for the most part."
Smyly zipped right through the Royals and he thought that a diving catch by right fielder Torii Hunter on Alcides Escobar's line drive was a defining moment.
"Torii's catch was a game changer. That set the tone, I think. That was outstanding," Smyly said.
Gordon, who had walked, was heading home from second base when Hunter stabbed Escobar's bid for extra bases.
"I was playing him a little oppo. Escobar likes to hit the ball to right field a lot," Hunter said. "He just happened to get it in the gap and I just got on my horse. He put a charge in it for a little guy and I did what I had to do. Wasn't trying to dive, just kind of rolled around."
After that the Royals managed only Eric Hosmer's double and Danny Valencia's single, and nary a run against Smyly. Reliever Joba Chamberlain added a 1-2-3 eighth.
"They had good pitching and good defense today," Gordon said. "They made a lot of good plays so give them credit. Smyly did a good job and when we did put a good swing on him, it seemed like they made a pretty good play."
After Duffy left, the Royals ran a parade of four relievers through the game. The Tigers added two runs off Louis Coleman and Kelvin Herrera in the sixth. Aaron Crow worked a perfect seventh, thanks to Hosmer's dazzing dive for Cabrera's shoetop shot at first base.
Right-hander Aaron Brooks made his Major League debut with a scoreless eighth inning, but the Tigers expanded a 3-0 lead to 9-0 against him with a six-run ninth. Hunter finished up the damage with a three-run homer.
"It was just a lot to take in," Brooks said. "I just went out there and tried to attack some guys, and give us a chance to win the game. Unfortunately, in the second inning what happened, happened. It's a good-hitting club. So you can't take anything away from those guys."
With that bulging lead, the Tigers had no need for closer Joe Nathan so he sat down and out of the bullpen came left-hander Phil Coke. Finally the Royals mustered two runs on Nori Aoki's single, Hosmer's second double, Billy Butler's sacrifice fly and Gordon's double.
But the majority of the evening was spent sputtering at the plate, again.
"We've gone through this before. It's been like this for the last couple of years where you think you're never going to score a run again -- then, bam, you go on a tear for two weeks," Yost said. "Then, you think you're in and all of a sudden we slow down again. It's the way the baseball season goes."

The NWTF and Texas Parks & Wildlife Bring More Turkeys to East Texas
EDGEFIELD, S.C. - Eastern wild turkeys from Alabama, Missouri, Kansas, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia will call parts of eastern Texas home over the next few weeks, thanks to the efforts of the National Wild Turkey Federation and the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department (TPWD).
(Photo credit: Texas Parks & Wildlife Department)
We have three sites, a Wildlife Management Area, private property and a mine site where we plan on releasing the birds," said TPWD Upland Game Bird Specialist Jason Hardin. "We plan to release the birds in northwest Anderson County and central Rusk County, near the town of Henderson."
It's all part of the NWTF's national initiative called Save the Habitat. Save the Hunt.
It's the same old story," Hardin said. "The birds were essentially wiped out by subsistence and market hunting along with extensive habitat loss in the later parts of the 19th century, but with the help of the NWTF, we have been able to bring the birds back all across the country. Although more than 50 counties in east Texas were stocked during the 1980s and 1990s only 28 counties are open for turkey hunting today. So we had to start looking at why we were not as successful in keeping the Eastern wild turkey population flourishing as other states in its historic range."
The NWTF's Texas State Chapter is playing a significant role in footing the bill for transferring the birds.
The NWTF and the Making Tracks program has really helped us through the years," Hardin said. "NWTF Regional Biologist Scotty Parsons is always with us when we evaluate habitat sites and the Texas State Chapter is covering a significant portion of the cost of transporting the birds. Help with the gas bills and plane tickets have been a real boost. We couldn't do what we do without NWTF volunteers and employees. Hopefully, one of these days we'll have enough birds so we will not need to rely on other states for our Eastern wild turkey restoration efforts."
More Eastern wild turkeys are on the way.
This restoration effort in Texas is unique," said NWTF Assistant Vice President for Conservation Programs Tom Hughes. "It's an area where we helped with trap and transfer work in places years ago. Maybe there was a change in the habitat, you had less prescribed fire than was needed, too much rain or not enough. Whatever the reason, we are going back to the area and the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department is really committed to getting it right this time."
Hughes says it's an unusual circumstance in Texas, since most wild turkey populations did well following earlier trap and transfer efforts.
This one did too, for a while," said Hughes. "But, from our standpoint, we are still committed to making sure turkeys have the best chance they can for survival. We are still practicing what we preach and have been since 1973."

Vegas-set rounds split guys and girls into groups of 10; judges eliminate five semifinalists each night
Top 20 announced Thursday, Feb. 28
The "American Idol" auditions came to a conclusion Thursday as the judges' semifinalists picks were revealed. After intense deliberations, Mariah, Randy, Nicki and Keith chose the Top 40 contestants, who will now head to Las Vegas to perform on the stage of Cirque du Soleil's Beatles LOVE Theatre at The Mirage.
The Vegas move is a new twist in the competition, during which the Top 40 once again will be split by gender. On Wednesday, Feb. 20 (8 p.m.), and continuing Thursday, Feb. 21 (8 p.m.), Wednesday, Feb. 27 (8 p.m.), and Thursday, Feb. 28 (8 p.m.), 10 semifinalists will perform each night - girls on Wednesdays and guys on Thursdays. Each night, the judges will be faced with the tough decision of choosing which five will stay and which five will be sent home. At the end of the first stage of the semifinals, only 20 contestants will remain.
Top 20 girls include:
Jenny Beth Willis/17/Owensboro, Ky.

On Wednesday, March 6 (8 p.m.), the second group of 10 semifinalists will perform live.
