Texas on the Potomac regularly shares with you the work of some of Hearst Newspapers' best columnists. Today, we are pleased to share with you this commentary by San Antonio Express-News columnist Jonathan Gurwitz.
On the campaign trail in Virginia last week, Vice President Joe Biden warned a mixed race crowd that if Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan win in November, "They're going to put y'all back in chains."
Speaking in Iowa, President Barack Obama tossed out a one-liner referencing a three-decade old story about Romney taking a family vacation with his dog in a carrier on the roof of a station wagon.
So much for hope and change.
Here it's worth quoting Obama four years ago, as he accepted his party's presidential nomination: "If you don't have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from. You make a big election about small things." Run from the slave trader. Vote for the guy without the dog on the roof.
There are some wonderful ironies in the Obama-Biden strategy of jokes and chains. Back in 2006, Biden cozied up to an audience in South Carolina with the story that his home state of Delaware was "a slave state that fought beside the North. That's only because we couldn't figure out how to get to the South." Back then, slavery was funny stuff. Y'all.
In his semi-factual memoir, "Dreams from My Father," Obama discusses eating dog meat with his stepfather in Indonesia. "Tough," the author notes parenthetically. Again, funny stuff.
So is this what Americans have to look forward to through Nov. 6 — race-baiting and dog jokes? Whatever chance there is that the presidential election will actually be decided on substantive issues, it was enhanced by Romney's selection of Ryan as his running mate.
Ryan has actually authored a budget that puts the country back on a path toward fiscal responsibility. The House of Representatives has passed the Ryan plan — twice in the last two years.
Last year, the Democrat-controlled Senate voted down the Obama budget, 97-0. This year, the budget presented by the president was so unserious that Majority Leader Harry Reid refused to even bring it up for consideration. The last time the Senate actually passed a budget was in 2009.
That's par for the course. From spending to taxes to entitlement reform, Ryan and Republicans have put forward proposals commensurate with the threat to economic prosperity and national security posed by trillion-dollar deficits, a $16 trillion debt, and a Medicare trust fund that — according to its trustees — will be insolvent by 2024.
Democrats and the White House have done nothing. Actually, worse than nothing. Obama appointed a bipartisan debt commission in 2010 to create the ultimate grand bargain — a package of necessary budget, tax and entitlement reforms for which commission members said, in their final report, they "were willing to put our differences aside to forge a plan because our nation will certainly be lost without one."
The warning was lost on the president. He shelved the recommendations of his own debt commission. Now in 2012, with no record to run on and no serious proposals of their own, Obama and the Democrats are left to tell jokes and scary stories, such as frightening seniors about Republican plans to end Medicare, a falsehood that Factcheck.org labeled one of its "Whoppers of 2011."
Speaking in Ohio last month, Obama said that there's no lack of ideas or solutions for the nation's problems. "What's holding us back," he said, "is we've got a stalemate in Washington between two visions of where the country needs to go. And this election is about breaking that stalemate."
That's a far cry from Obama's soaring rhetoric in 2008 about ushering in a new era of politics. And the president was pulling another political prank if he was including himself among the problem solvers. But about the need to break the stalemate, he was — unusually for this campaign season — factually correct.

Live from the diner
In 1988 a zany, late-night television show started broadcasting on (then) Network 2. Hosted by Shay Healy, 'Nighthawks' was a unique mix of live music, chat and soap opera all set in the fictional American-style diner owned by his character, aka 'Shay'. Ahead of a special retrospective for RTÉ TV50 called 'Nighthawks Rehashed', Shay reunites with Joanne McAteer, who played Eastern European waitress Tanya, the object of his character's affections in the show's soap. The pair tell Jan Battles all about drunken punters, celebrity cameos and unrequited love. John Cooney took the photographs.
Shay Healy: 'Nighthawks' was four of the happiest years of my life, working with a crazy bunch of people.
Joanne McAteer: Now wait a minute, I wasn't in it for four years. That means two of the happiest years of your life, and then mourning me!
SH: Nighthawks was an American-style diner that looked like Eddie Rockets, with a Wurlitzer jukebox and movie stills on the walls. It was the kind of place you'd go to hang out.
JM: The TV audience were sat at tables and we gave them cans. We had a lot of drunk people sometimes.
SH: The noise of chatter going on in the background made it very real, and the fact that we never addressed camera. It was so real that in the middle of an interview people would pull on my sleeve and ask 'Where's the jacks?' The viewer felt like they were eavesdropping.
JM: Three nights a week live we did it. It's crazy when you think of it.
SH: Not only were we doing a soap opera throughout, which is an insane idea, but Joanne wound up doing interviews as well as me.
JM: As a Hungarian.
SH: As a Hungarian who doesn't know who Finbar Furey is!
JM: We used to get caught swearing when we'd go to a video tape and our microphones were still on. Some shows were really brilliant but because it was live we had some bad nights.
SH: That's the beauty of it. I looked at maybe 100 episodes putting this compilation together and they're all uneven. But overall the general impression was this was exciting and novel.
JM: In the soap opera you kind of half-fancied me but then my boyfriend Boris (Stanley Townsend) came.
SH: I was infatuated with her but at the last minute she always closed the door on me. Then this brute Boris arrived.
JM: Shay was trying to shoot Boris and I stood in the way and he shot me instead. I was lying in hospital and then I flat-lined at the end of the first run. I came back as my evil sister Ludmilla, who was such a bitch to Shay. She was into S&M.
SH: I found myself tied to a pipe in the basement.
JM: We got away with a lot of stuff. It was quite subversive.
SH: Boris was threatening to throw himself off the car park in RTÉ because he was upset over Tanya. Daniel O'Donnell was in doing some other show so I asked him 'Would you do a bit of soap opera for us? Boris is going to try and throw himself off the building, would you try and talk him down? Just ad lib away.' He said 'Fair enough'. So Daniel says: 'Ach Boris, don't jump.'
JM: We had Terry Wogan involved in the soap another time.
SH: And we had [the actor] Tom Berenger in a taxi. Graham Norton was on the show once with a dish cloth on his head as Mother Teresa. I was first in the office the next morning and I had the Knights of Columbanus ringing in saying it was disgraceful.
JM: I'd love to do a soap now where Ludmilla marries Shay for all his money and keeps him tied up. Lots of S&M stuff. What do you think?
SH: I love it. We could call it 'Fifty Grades of Shay'.
Watch a selection of the the best comedy, music, soap opera and interviews from the show on 'Nighthawks Rehashed', RTÉ Two, Thursday 27 December, 10.10pm.
You can see a 1989 episode of 'Nighthawks' - featuring John Cleese, Ardal O'Hanlon, Barry Murphy and Kevin Gildea - on TV50 Classics at www.rte.ie/player/show/10038733/

You're just pissed because Charlie has stepped up his game since you traded him to me (it was you, right?).
I totally agree about Charlie's D (or lack of), but his rebounding numbers are decent, at least. He rarely gets less than 10 boards when he plays 30 or more minutes (at least, that's what's been happening lately). He could do better, but that's certainly enough to not be labeled a bad rebounder.
haha..it was me, but thats not why i dont like him. his rebounding is inconsistent and is nowhere to be found on defense. i mean, at 6'10"...i guess if he isnt a leaper then i understand him not getting many blocks. but if thats the case then make up for it in other ways...even boozer averages at least a steal a game.
*side note*....as far as that trade...pietrus was working out fine for my team and fit my team well until he got injured. its all good tho...i used that spot for moon who fits my team really well.
about mr charlie V, when NBA league Pass was free at the beginning of the season, I watched every single Bucks to get a better feeling for what Charlie brings to the table. What I saw was a volume jump shooting big, who lacks any sense of how to play defensive basketball. The guy looked stiff and lost on the defensive side.
HOWEVAA, his contract is up after this season, allowing Wright and A-Dolph a half season more of development....I'd consider it....

At the AusCERT 2013 conference, Dmitri Alperovich called for debate about, "the kinds of actions that infosec professionals are allowed to take against attackers." I agree with Dmitri, and in fact I made the same call, at the same conference on May 23, 2005! (AusCERT invited me to speak on an emerging topic and I chose to speak for the first time publicly at AusCERT 2005 about the Active Response Continuum research I had been doing with funding from Cisco.) As one of the world's foremost experts on this topic, with over two decades of security operations experience, I welcome Dmitri to the debate. :)
What follows is adapted from the forthcoming book, "The Active Response Continuum: Ethical and Legal Issues
of Aggressive Computer Network Defense," by David Dittrich. I welcome any comments, suggested modifications and/or additions.
There are many challenges facing those who are victimized by computer crimes, who are frustrated with what they perceive to be a lack of effective law enforcement action to protect them, and who want to unilaterally take some aggressive action to directly counter the threats to their information and information systems. This has been called active defense, aggressive [network] self-defense, counter-attack, and even hacking back. Regardless of the reasons why someone would want to take such actions, it is necessary to discuss the options, acknowledge the risk and benefit tradeoffs, and identify how aggressive actions can be taken in a manner that is safe, controlled, and justifiable (as best this can be accomplished). This cannot be accomplished, however, if everyone comes at the subject with their own individual frame of reference and language. (This was pointed out by more than one person at this year's Suits & Spooks DC 2013 conference.) Read more »

Seven years ago, after Robert Terrell Haskins was charged with his first sexual assault, police felt so sure that he was a man unable to control himself that they expressed outrage when a little-known judge reduced an attempted rape charge to a misdemeanor sexual battery conviction, and they predicted that Haskins would molest again. Sadly, that prediction proved accurate for the then-eight-year-old child Haskins allegedly assaulted between 2003 and 2005.
The alleged victim, now 16, contacted police this spring, and Haskins, now 26, stands charged with five counts of forcible sodomy and one count of aggravated sexual assault.
"My reaction?" responds Albemarle Sheriff Chip Harding, who was a Charlottesville police captain when Haskins was first charged. "I'm really not surprised. Those of us around back then felt like he had a compulsive nature that made him a sexual predator. I'm still perplexed the judge made the decision he did."
Haskins' infamy began with an attack in Greenleaf Park on December 30, 2002. The brazen daylight attack on a mother in the presence of her toddler came at a time when Charlottesville women were already on edge with a serial rapist on the loose. Arrested the following March, Haskins admitted on videotape that he'd knocked the 34-year-old woman to the ground to have sexual relations with her and fled when she screamed and fought him off.
Nonetheless, when tried in September 2003, Haskins was found guilty of misdemeanor sexual battery and given just a six-month sentence. With credit for time served, he was released that same month.
"Those in court were flabbergasted with the judge's decision," says Harding.
As for the judge, Joseph Spinella, he's now 85 and retired in Richmond. Although he says he doesn't remember the case ("It doesn't ring a bell," he says), he cites pre-sentencing reports that give the defendant's background and sentencing guidelines that would have played into his decision.
"You get a pretty good picture of what he's like, but you can't predict if he's going to do well," says Spinella. "We truly dislike hearing someone has not followed the rules and stayed out of trouble."
Despite the subsequent alleged assaults on a child, says Spinella, "I don't think I would have done anything differently."
"For that judge not to remember, we have some cracks in our legal system," says Sheriff Harding. "He wasn't part of our community and doesn't have to answer for his decision."
Between 2003-2005, when the latest victim was between 8 and 10 years old, Haskins would rack up increasingly more serious sexual assault charges. In February 2003, prior to his conviction, Haskins grabbed the buttocks of a a juvenile female jogger on Locust Avenue and received a misdemeanor sexual battery conviction. Later that year, he allegedly chased another jogger on Locust Avenue.
Two years later, he broke into a woman's house on Little High Street, a crime for which he was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison. And at the time of the most recent charges, Haskins was already in jail for probation violation and for providing false information to the state's sexual offender registry, says a Charlottesville Police lieutenant.
"We warned there was a high likelihood of him re-offending," says Sheriff Harding, who wonders how–- or even whether–- judges are monitored and assessed.
"I can't say this guy is incompetent," says Harding, speaking of the judge, "but his ruling seemed to be incompetent. I'm glad to hear he's retired."
Harding says that efforts to rehabilitate people with certain types of sexual deviancy often fail. "If he's found guilty," says Harding, of the latest charges, "I hope the judge will incapacitate him."
Haskins attended a school for learning and emotional disabilities and once told police that if he doesn't take his medication, "I do wild stuff."
"If he has a mental illness, I'd like to see him treated," says Harding, "but he's a danger to the community."

This guy does look like the one in the sketch related to Morgans case I wonder if LE has checked this out
Something tells me that this story won't make it onto Waldo's blog..

some people is mental ill in this life and will never be right but i hope he ask god to forgive him of his sins but he is a sick man.
Why is everyone calling this judge's judgment poor when no one has any idea as to what evidence was presented before him at trial, what evidence was excluded, or what objections and arguments counsel for both sides made. Isn't the prosecutor just as responsible for failing to secure a conviction? Let's all get the facts before we jump to ignorant criticism.
I retract my above comment after reading the article from the initial case.
One analogy made for the role judges play in society is to an umpire in a baseball game. Umpires sometimes blow calls that have repercussions in games.
Of course, this is not a baseball game and this is not the only judge locally or in the country as a whole that discounts either the damage sexual assault has on the victims or the predatory nature of these types of criminals.
Too many child rape or child porn perps get light sentences. Too often inter-family allegations of sexual abuse are completely ignored. Too many victims of these crimes are failed by the judicial system.
Sheriff Harding is absolutely correct. There needs to be greater accountability for those judges that make such heinous mistakes.
Some have postulated on this website that judges get rubber-stamped re-appointments. Some have pointed out that local bars are completely unwilling to criticize local judges.
This needs to change as too often judges wash their hands of their dumb decisions or simply don't care about the negative repercussions. They are never held to account by those that practice in their courts or by those that appoint them.
It is we the people that suffer as a result.
"Updated 7:10pm with Judge Joseph Spinella's full name."
"As for the judge, Joseph Spinella, he's now 85 and retired in Richmond. "

My condolences to the good, hard working cops in Charlottesville and Albemarle who have to endure what the lunatic left and their judges bring upon our community. Same goes for the victims.
He should be castrated if he is ever let out.
This is the type BS you get from left wing judges.
Ummm, isn't the more obvious point that this was a substitute judge nearing 80 years of age?
And the full name of the judge is...??? The 7th Paragraph of the story starts with a direct quote from him and then a "says Spinella." But no full name for "Spinella" is provided prior to that reference. Perhaps the story was edited, leaving out a paragraph that would have told us: 1) the name of the judge, 2) why he was he sitting in the City and how long had he been retired when we got back on the bench? and 3) where had he served as a sitting judge and how long? Something seems to be missing in this story.
I have to agree with Yes. A senile judge with very poor judgement.
A linked story says it was Joseph Spinella.
Jake, you hit it on the head. "no one has any idea as to what evidence was presented him at trial".
During reconstruction of this country (1863-1877) there was medical research that showed black men had a desire to have sex with white women. There for "hanging of black men for "rape" as some would call it was justified. The medical research was done at our very own University of Virginia.
TO hang a judge or a criminal for something we know little about, throws us back in time.To a time when this country had a lot of maturing to do. Such as some of the people who post on this site. Then again most information accumulated by the citizens of this country comes from the "talking heads" that are seen on the television.
Does anyone know if this guy was in jail when Morgan Harrington was killed? If you look at the sketch from the Fairfax police, there are really some similarities with this guys mugshot!
He should have stayed in school.. he would have made a fine addition to help round out the lacrosse team at UVA.
The system failed. Several offenses after the Greenleaf Park one and he still kept getting off lightly. All serious. Had he gotten substantial time for the Greenleaf Park crime he would not even have been on the streets 2003-2005.
Never was a George Allen supporter but did agree with his parole reform. But that doesnt help much when a dangerous criminal gets a ridiculously light sentence to begin with.
Sexual battery or assault should not be a misdemeanor in the first place.
Maybe we need a new prosecutor in Charlottesville, one who will insist on stiff sentences for these predators and the hoodlum element in general that seems to think it owns the town.
Bullet to the back of the head
His DNA should have been on file from the previous trial, I would think that although they haven't been explicit about it, that is what linked up the two cases (Harrington and the Fairfax one). If so, his DNA must not be a match.....
Thank you for that clarification Just Me. That is a strange case I hope the DNA was checked
It's funny how the comments aren't really about the story.
They're about "Waldo's blog" and its obvious bias. Or they're about "left wing judges" (despite there being no mention or indication of this judge's political leanings, if any).
I would like to comment on the story itself. Lisa Provence has done a great job at writing a sensationalist story. "Judge-freed" is a particularly nice touch in the headline. (As though any other person in the system frees prisoners.)
While the story is explicit regarding the former charge, the result, and the nature of the new charges, there is zero information about the evidence that was presented at trial, or in support of a guilty plea. Was the videotaped confession submitted to the court? What other evidence was there? What evidence in mitigation? What was Haskins' prior record at the time? He was 19 years old. What are his mental illness(es)?
A criminal re-offended. It's not a very nice thing, and we can probably expect stiff punishment this time. There are valuable lessons to learn here, but "put every 19-year-old offender in prison for 40 years" isn't one of them. This story titillates, and begs for reader outrage, but it doesn't ask very persistently that we care about the actual details of the cases in question.
Lastly, the Sheriff comes across as quite the white knight. When's the next election, again?

I thought I would make this picture available for some comedy. We had just climbed off the Eurorail at Gare de Lille-Europe in Lille, France and hauled our luggage down to board a train to take us to Kortrijk, Belgium at Gare de Lille-Flandres. We were off to stay with friends in Oostrozebeke, Belgium. We looked out the window and saw this sign and snapped a picture.
Of course you always look at the picture before you try to decipher the words. Amanda made a comment about, "Danger, beware of people missing a foot." We laughed for a few moments. We could decipher the "For your Security" portion and knew traverser and voies were cross the way. Kinda like a black cat crossing your path, don't let disabled people cross your way? This was on 5 June 2008.

Love, love, LOVE Tatsuya Ishida! Sinfest – Best comic EVER written
Today's fight to the death was who would ghusso more- the winner was the truck carrying the wheat sacks – one of which split when it caught on the other truck and as u can see, mounds of wheat falling on the floor
Aren't these gorgeous!
I want to share with you this brilliant spoken word piece by Sarah Kay and Phil Kaye, shared with me by a dear, dear friend. It touches your heart and speaks the truth about so many different stages of life. It's about keeping an open heart, no matter how many doors close… it'll even make you cry. So very beautiful. And funny.
Let it stream first, and watch it in one stretch.
When Love Arrives | Sarah Kay and Phil Kaye
(Italics is Sarah Kay, Underlined is Phil Kaye, and Bold is both together)
I knew exactly what love looked like- in seventh grade. Even though I hadn't met love yet, if love had wandered into my homeroom I would've recognized him at first glance. Love wore a hemp necklace. I would've recognized her at first glance, love wore a tight french braid. Love played acoustic guitar and knew all my favorite Beatle songs. Love wasn't afraid to ride the bus with me. And I knew, I just must be searching the wrong classrooms, just must be checking the wrong hallways, she was there, I was sure of it. If only I could find him.
But when love finally showed up, she had a bow cut. He wore the same clothes every day for a week. Love hated the bus. Love didn't know anything about The Beatles. Instead, every time I try to kiss love, our teetch got in the way. Love became the reason I lied to my parents. I'm going to- Ben's house. Love had terrible rhythm on the dance floor, but made sure we never missed a slow song. Love waited by the phone because she knew that if her father picked up it would be: "Hello? Hello? I guess they hung up."
And love grew, stretched like a trampoline. Love changed. Love disappeared, slowly, like baby teeth, losing parts of me I thought I needed. Love vanished like an amateur magician, and everyone could see the trapdoor but me. Like a flat tire, there were other places I planned on going, but my plans didn't matter. Love stayed away for years, and when love finally reappeared, I barely recognized him. Love smelt different now, had darker eyes, a broader back, love came with freckles I didn't recognize. New birthmarks, a softer voice. Now there were new sleeping patterns, new favorite books. Love had songs that reminded him of someone else, songs love didn't like to listen to. So did I.
But we found a park bench that fit us perfectly, we found jokes that make us laugh. And now, love makes me fresh homemade chocolate chip cookies. But love will probably finish most of them for a midnight snack. Love looks great in lingerie but still likes to wear her retainer. Love is a terrible driver, but a great navigator. Love knows where she's going, it just might take her two hours longer than she planned. Love is messier now, not as simple. Love uses the words "boobs" in front of my parents. Love chews too loud. Love leaves the cap off the toothpaste. Love uses smiley faces in her text messages. And turns out, love shits!
But love also cries. And love will tell you you are beautiful and mean it, over and over again. You are beautiful. When you first wake up, "you are beautiful." When you've just been crying, "you are beautiful." When you don't want to hear it, "you are beautiful." When you don't believe it, "you are beautiful." When nobody else will tell you, "you are beautiful." Love still thinks- you are beautiful. But love is not perfect and will sometimes forget, when you need to hear it most, you are beautiful, do not forget this.
Love is not who you were expecting, love is not who you can predict. Maybe love is in New York City, already asleep, and you are in California, Australia, wide awake. Maybe love is always in the wrong time zone, maybe love is not ready for you. Maybe you are not ready for love. Maybe love just isn't the marrying type. Maybe the next time you see love is twenty years after the divorce, love is older now, but just as beautiful as you remembered. Maybe love is only there for a month. Maybe love is there for every firework, every birthday party, every hospital visit. Maybe love stays- maybe love can't. Maybe love shouldn't.
Love arrives exactly when love is supposed to, and love leaves exactly when love must. When love arrives, say, "Welcome. Make yourself comfortable." If love leaves, ask her to leave the door open behind her. Turn off the music, listen to the quiet, whisper, "Thank you for stopping by."
My father-in-law was an absolutely amazing person – full of life, love and laughter. Whenever a groovy beat came on, he could never resist dancing and singing along – his eyes would light up, his laugh was contagious and Sundays turned into warm, wonderful moments forever etched in my memory.
My dedication to his memory – "Rock And Roll Never Forgets" (linked to the song online)
So you're a little bit older and a lot less bolder
Than you used to be
So you used to shake 'em down
But now you stop and think about your dignity
So now sweet sixteens turned thirty-one
You get to feelin' weary when the work days done
Well all you got to do is get up and into your kicks
If you're in a fix
Come back baby
Rock and roll never forgets
You better get yourself a partner
Go down to the concert or the local bar
Check the local newspapers
Chances are you won't have to go too far
Yeah the rafters will be ringing cause the beat's so strong
The crowd will be swaying and singing along
And all you got to do is get in into the mix
If you need a fix
Come back baby
Rock and roll never forgets
Oh the bands still playing it loud and lean
Listen to the guitar player making it scream
All you got to do is just make that scene tonight
Heh tonight
Well now sweet sixteens turned thirty-one
Feel a little tired feeling under the gun
Well all Chuck's children are out there playing his licks
Get into your kicks
Come back baby
Rock 'n Roll never forgets
Said you can come back baby
Rock 'n Roll never forgets
… where it comes from, and how much comes, is already pre-decided. You can try and manipulate the path, but you really don't have any command over it.'
A question that has plagued me of late is – what's the point? Why do we exist? Is there a purpose? Why do we follow the same routine every day? We get up, we go to work, we come back, eat and sleep. Then we get up and do it again. What is the purpose of this endless drudgery?
Today, I got an interesting answer – 'You work because it is a personal choice. God does not require this of you'.
I objected that it was a finance driven need.
'Yes, but you created that need.'
I was confused at that answer.
'You created that need. You make your possessions a need. Live in a smaller house. Eat simple food. Don't work – settle for less and be happy. But yet, you work. Why? Because you strive to be in a better position. Because you create conditions for yourself to succeed, to thrive, to live better each day.
An understanding dawned on me. Truly, we create our life conditions on whom we want to be.
'And the irony of it all is…Man is never happy. It's never enough'.
Discovered this song on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Beautiful.

Wheat -- Interesting comment 'Farmers were eager to get the crop in the ground' --- Insurance dictates planting dates -- (unfortunately) and at this time most of the entire wheat is still in a full drought situation -- there will be some wheat harvested (if rain ever comes) but it will be extremely low in quantity (and held for seed)

an awesome day on the pacific coast highway (aka my camaro review, long, pics)
this is a story about my first "hands on" encounter with a camaro outside of auto shows or dealerships. a long but hopefully entertaining text shall be followed by some pics of the car along the pacific coast highway. if you care for such shenanigans, read on! spelling errors are a form of freedom and you may include them in your collection of internet-spelling errors!
i was looking forward to this car since i first heard about it in the spring of 2008. pretty late, i know. yet before i ever saw transformers. weird, isn't it. but just before the camaro came out in the spring of 2009 i had to make a decision and bought a leftover 2008 mazdaspeed3. that didn't stop me from watching pics of hundreds of camaro5 users getting their cars and i was still very much following whats going on with the camaro.
so recently I flew out to san francisco to spend a couple of days in the bay area, visited a friend, watched a sharks game, went to a concert and, last but not least, finally drove the new camaro along the pacific coast highway and napa valley.
i was supposed to pick up the car at SFO airport on 11/14 around 8:00am and return it the next morning since i was leaving on 11/15.
the day started shitty. i set my alarm clock for 6:00am. guess who lives on the eastcoast, forgot to change the time on his alarm clock, got up at 3:00am PT, checked out of the hostel and then found out "hey it's only 3:00am wtf?" well i went back inside and took a nap on the couch for another two hours or so.
anyways, i went to avis to pick up the car and was greeted by a nice lady who wanted to talk me into taking a corvette instead of the camaro. for the same price. "sir you know the camaro SS is not a convertible and the corvette is? how about a 350z convertible?" - "thanks for the offer, but i'm perfectly fine with the camaro SS." - "are you really sure about that?" - "yes thank you". got to choose from three colors: ketchup red, mustard yellow and inferno orange. naturally i went for orange because i'm really not a fan of the other two colors. i knew it wasn't gonna happen but i thought it could hurt to ask: "so do you have any camaros with manual transmission?" the woman just laughed at me... i took the keys and on my way out the lady said "but next time you need to take the corvette!", i turned around with the camaro keys in hand, giggling like a little boy on christmas and said "i will!" and went outside to look for parking spot E2.
several other camaros were parked outside. LT's SS's, mostly colored in ketchup and mustard. GM really should've come up with better looking yellows and reds (aside from red jewel tintcoat). anyways, off to look for my IOM car.
and there it is. an IOM 2010 camaro 2SS without the RS package. first thing i notice is that a bird took a HUGE crap on the hood. that is going to look GREAT on the pics i want to take . oh well. i open the trunk and put my luggage into it. or should i say i attempt to. it takes me a while to figure out how my bag fits best into the tiny trunk-opening.
next step, i open the doors (thank you, captain obvious) and take a seat. first thought: "tight like a virgin!", but let's not go there. i adjust the seat, mirrors, steering wheel and start the engine. i expected a sound so beautiful that it makes angels sing and babys cry. instead i found it to be rather quite. maybe a little too quite. i get out and double check the engine bay. yup that's a V8 under the hood and a SS logo on the back of the car so i wasn't given the keys to an LT by accident. i rev the engine a bit. aaah, much better!
off we go. my first baby steps out of the parking garage feel weird. leaving the parking spot i realize how much bigger this car is compared to my speed3. i am very careful. eventually i make it onto the highway. i didn't want to get on it right away since i didn't know the car yet. i figured there will surely be a number of opportunities on the upcoming 400 mile road trip through northern cali, napa valley and the bay area. but naturally i can't help myself and do a few pulls here and there when traffic allows to do so. can you say perma-grin from there on?
i cruise into a sleeping san francisco. there i am, standing at a stop light when some guy crosses the street. he looks, walks back a few steps, looks at the other side of the car and continues walking with a look of disbelief on his face while he is still staring at the car. and plenty of that was to follow. throughout the day i learned that this car makes you look like the biggest attention whore in the world. but more on that later.
i cross the golden gate bridge, take the first exit and go up a twisty road with several opportunities to check out the golden gate bridge from above and obviously to take a few pictures of the car. funnily enough, at the first stop i park next to a red LT. i haz a friend!!
further up the mountain at another stop a lady stops by and asks "is this the new camaro?" - "yes it is" and i added "sadly it's only a rental though." - "congratulations anyway! great looking car!" she says with a smile on her face. "thank you!"
after a coupe of pics i take off to US state route 1 aka the shoreline hwy and later on the pacific coast hwy. i hit some traffic but i really don't care. a 70's something cadillac convertible with a family of four pulls next to me, thumbs up and waving. attention whoring? anyway, with the window open and some rock'n'roll on the stereo i cruise along until traffic eases and i can enjoy the drive.
i eventually get to the coastline and this song is playing: "take a drive baby up the coast, yeah highway 101. i'll pass ventura and santa barbara too, just as fast as my motor runs". mhhhh, i love social distortion. not exactly my route, but close enough!
driving on the twisty roads of US1 i am surprised how well the camaro handles for a car its size. i remember test-driving a challenger r/t and how it was more like a boat floating on the water. but this car is zippy with a great feel to it. but there is one thing that annoys me. the transmisson. i know this is a matter of preference, but this is MY review, so... i have never been a fan of automatic transmissons, and the one in the camaro is no exception. the shifting just feels weird and unnatural from time to time. but maybe that's just me. after a while i kinda got used to it. i'd still prefer a "proper manual gearbox". i might want to check it out at a dealership i guess.
along the way i stop at several outlooks, take a few pics and just enjoy the gorgeous views of the ocean and the coastline. all of a sudden, yet another ketchup red camaro stops next to me. this time a SS. a couple gets out of the car, smiles and waves. i still have a perma grin on my face, so i wave back.
on my way up to stewards point, a tiny town in northern california in which my way on US1 should end, i had several opportunities to pass "slower moving vehicles" aka RV's. for the first time ever i wished there were more slow-ass cars on the road. on a two-way-road you only get so many chances to pass cars so you better make sure you take them. and boy was it fun: make sure nobody is coming towards us on the other side of the road, put the car in sport mode and mash the gas. with an IMMENSE thrust you get pushed into the comfy leather seats and the car just goes. and i mean it GOES! holy crappy pants batman! coming from a fairly lightweight 2.3L, 263hp turbocharged 4-cylinder FWD car, I am used to torque steer and power that only sets in around 3000 rpm. as much fun as i think my car is (and it is!), the camaro is in a totally different league. obviously the 400hp V8 and RWD setup play a big roll, but also the roaring of the engine in higher rpm's just make it so much more fun! and the amazing thing again is, the car doesn't feel like a 3800lbs (or something) car! by that time i also had turned off the radio completely and was making my own music. via exhaust!
on the twisty roads of US1 i am averaging 17mpg. woops. well i guess lots of slowing down, accelerating and braking don't exactly help. i pull in to a small burger place to get some lunch. i love cheeseburgers. and mountain dew. mhhh, yes i know i know i shouldn't eat that kind of stuff but a veggie-sandwich just doesn't taste as delicious.
same goes for the camaro. i am all for more fuel efficient technologies and cars, but as long as they come in form of priuses and insights i prefer something with a bit more fun and power.
as i turn out of the burger place, a dude in one of those kickass orange porsche GT3's honks and waves. wtf? i wave back, thumbs up to you too my friend! just down the road a bunch of dude's are hanging out of the window of their truck, yelling and waving as i cruise along.
did you count? that's like the fourth or fifth time i seem to be attention-whoring. and it's only like 2pm or so. but i can't help. i keep smiling and nod their way.
arriving at stewart's point, i am supposed to make a right turn and take a small, twisty road east which should take me to US128 in geyserville. now i did plan this trip using google maps. my first thought when i turned right was "errr... wtf?" as it turns out, it is mostly a one-way road through a forest. but i see a regular nissan maxima coming that way and it looks intact, i figure how bad can it be? so i take off. luckily the road is still concrete, just a bit muddy. the road is even twistier than US1. for the next 30 miles it was pretty much like this: accelerating up to 30/40mph, braking, steering, accelerating, braking, steering and so on and so forth. am i still having fun? hell yes! the camaro seems to be glued to the road. the ride is perfect. not too soft, not too hard. soon i have another car in front of me. it lets me pass, i turn on my emergency lights for a second to say "thanks" and off i am.
i am happy as i finally see some signs of civilization. by the time i got to geyserville it was already getting dark, so i wasn't able to take as many pics as i wanted to since i forgot my tripod at home. but i was too busy with driving anyway. i didn't even want to stop. but i did get some gas in castiloga and streched my legs for a while. i was walking around san francisco for the last two days, and with all the hills etc that was exhausting and my legs felt pretty much dead each night. as i am getting out of the car, i am amazed how comfortable the seats are and that i can still feel my feet. i got some gas and some mountain dew (woops). for whatever reason i hit heavy traffic around st.helena and don't make any real progress for a good hour or so. by now it is dark outside and i realize i much prefer the HID's on my speed3 over the regular headlamps of the non-RS camaro. maybe it's just what i am used to. but there is something else that i noticed when it was dark outside. something that when it was first announced had been good entertainment on these forums, but got damn annoying after a while. "watch out for something superduper friggin awesome!!" i remember somebody saying. ambient lighting. ye ole ambient lighting!! i found it to be annoying when looking left before passing/turning and was looking for an offswitch but couldn't find it. i can't believe that's what all the buzz was all about.
since i was supposed to have dinner with my friend in san jose at around 8:00pm i said "no more playing around!" and put her address into my GPS. as i cross the bay via I-580 i find myself in the very right lane. why not in the left lane you ask? well for some reason i didn't feel the need to be fast. just cruising along in traffic, watching the skylines and feeling good. however sometimes i had to change lanes, and that's when i remembered something that i noticed earlier that day when i just picked up the car and was cruising the highway: the blindspot. a terrible, terrible blindspot. maybe there's a trick to set the mirrors. i tried my best, but i still had to prepare a loooong time before i changing lanes. not that i usually just move over, but it definitely took a while.
at exactly 8:00pm i pull up to my friend's apartment. i hesitate for second to get out of the car. maybe another a quick drive around the block? just one? my cellphone rings, i pick up and my friend says "wtf? a camaro? nice!" as she is looking out of the window.
we have dinner and i drive to my hotel close to the airport where i'm staying for the night. the day ended just like it started: parking in tight parking spots is a bitch. but that's nothing that practice couldn't fix. i am smiling as i return the car the next morning because i had taken a small detour to the airport, just to drive for another minute or two.
so here i am. i have finally driven the new camaro. and as you can probably tell i had a crapload of fun doing so! yes there are a couple of things i find annoying or that i would change. but those are things i would definitely deal with, because the positive outweigh them by a thousand miles.
if you know me or read some of my posts you know i like to point the finger at stuff that i think is wrong. and boy did i have a lot of opportunities at pointing fingers at GM in the past for which i got slapped by the mods or other members
but this is a camaro forum, so that should be all that matters. and i agree with the hundreds (thousands?) of people that shared their happy camaro story: this car kicks some serious automobile ass!
will i be trading in my newly bought 'speed3? i don't know. even though i will most likely be able to pay it off already in a few months i don't know if i can justify buying another car after only one year.
but then again... will i be able to say no to, let's say, a gently used, aqua blue, imperial blue or red jewel tintcoat, six-speed 2010 camaro SS with RS package? after all i am a man you know: rational thoughts, irrational actions
but only time will tell. but one thing is sure: great scenery, great weather, a great road and a great car. this was one of the best days ever.
oh one more thing: when i got home yesterday and wanted to go get some groceries my speed3 just wouldn't start. not even the keyless entry clicker would work. battery dead. completely dead. i had to call my buddy to give me a jumpstart. a sign of jealousness from my speed3?
last but not least, pictures! no comments necessary.

Great story! And any first experience which went that well.... deserves another (buh bye speed3).
1) blindspots... as long as you never take them for granted, you'll end up being a safer driver because of them. And I have adjusted my mirrors to cover most of them, but i still check 3x.
2) ambient lighting... neat gimmick, and probably nice to have when parked at 'lover's peak' or whatever, but i believe you can dim it, if not fully deactivate it if you really need to. (Or get the 1SS)
3) other minor annoyances... you'll get over 'em, or comfortable with them, quickly.
4) automatic trans... drive in sport mode and it is more aggressive, or use paddle shifters and do your own shifting. No, not a manual, but it's pretty impressive in my opinion.
Edit: Great pics too!!

In about two months, grocery shoppers in southeast Volusia County will have another supermarket to choose from — one that features a wide variety of ethnic food products.
ORANGE CITY — In about two months, grocery shoppers in southeast Volusia County will have another supermarket to choose from — one that features a wide variety of ethnic food products.
Orlando-based Fancy Fruit & Produce Inc. has signed a lease for the old site of the John's Appliance & Bedding store in Orange City.
The grocery chain has already begun renovating the 16,000-square-foot retail building at 911 S. Volusia Ave.m which will become a Fancy Fruit Produce & Meats store — the company's first in the Volusia-Flagler area. John Hinton, the owner of the John's Appliance chain, still owns the bright yellow and red building, but recently vacated it when he moved his Orange City store a mile south to the former Atchley Appliance & TV building, which he bought in April.
The owners of Fancy Fruits & Produce have four stores in the Orlando area.
They see an opportunity in Volusia County to serve a growing Hispanic community that grew 87 percent between the 2000 to 2010 census. Self-identified Hispanics now represent 11.5 percent of the county's population of just under 500,000 persons and 30 percent of Deltona residents, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
"Nobody has anything up there like we do business," Felix Dominguez, president of Fancy Fruits & Produce, said Tuesday by telephone from Orlando. "I see huge prices at stores there that I can drop by 50 percent."
Dominguez admitted the markets do not meet a family's weekly grocery needs. They are intended to provide fresh produce and meats and other foods that a shopper may need to buy more frequently to ensure freshness.
While Fancy Fruits Produce & Meats stores are known for carrying food products from Central and South America and the Caribbean, Dominguez said the stores also offer food products from India, Korea, Japan and Spain.
"Something for everyone," he said.
Along with daily shipments of fresh fruits and vegetables, the stores offer meats, poultry, seafood, cheese, baked goods, canned and frozen goods, herbs, spices and seasonings.
While online reviews on Yelp.com of existing stores praise the low prices and wide variety, a few bloggers are also a little critical of a lack of consistent quality.
Attracting more Hispanic grocery stores has been a goal of the Volusia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, said Carlos Valderrama, the chamber's founder and president, who also serves on the Deltona Economic Development Advisory Board.
Currently, Bravo in Orange City and Compare in Deltona are the largest Hispanic-oriented grocers in Southwest Volusia.
"The chamber and the city have made pitches to bring Hispanic grocery stores to Deltona, but they've failed said," Valderrama said.
Pitches have been made to Sedano's Supermarket, which has 30 stores in South Florida and one in Kissimmee, and Publix Sabor, a new Publix concept store, which has six stores in the Miami area and one in Kissimmee.
"We need a different scale company. There is a need for more," Valderrama said. "We need a new player in town. I think this one will be welcomed and supported."
According to Orange City records, Fresh Fruits & Produce is spending about $147,000 on renovations and $25,000 for a new roof at the Orange City store.
The store will be about 12,000 square feet, the second largest of the company's five stores. It will have about 20 employees to start. It's anticipated opening is March, Dominguez said.

March 14, 2014 - Seafood buyers and other interested parties now have access to a one-stop-shop for the information they need to be confident that seafood harvested from Louisiana and other Gulf state fisheries is sustainable. Launching at Seafood Expo North America, GulfFishInfo.org [4], or Gulf FINFO, gathers information from fisheries experts from across the Gulf states and puts easy to understand, science-based facts about Gulf state fisheries at the public's fingertips.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) collaborated with counterparts in the other Gulf states, the Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission, and NOAA Fisheries to develop FINFO. FINFO provides a platform for these authorities to communicate how they conserve and manage fisheries in Gulf state waters and complements NOAA's FishWatch.gov, which covers fisheries in federal waters.
"Working with the other fisheries management authorities in the Gulf, we're able to provide the most comprehensive, accurate resource available on the sustainability of Gulf seafood," stated LDWF Secretary Robert Barham. "Seafood buyers increasingly require this information before making purchases—FINFO goes above and beyond to meet this need."
FINFO profiles top Gulf fisheries, with information ranging from basics about species biology and habitat to how fisheries operate and how each state ensures these operations are sustainable. Through FINFO, users can quickly review the status of Gulf fisheries resources or dig deeper to understand the robust science and responsible management at work to ensure these resources are viable for generations to come. "FINFO does not have a list or rating system," according to Barham. "FINFO tells the full story of the sustainability of Gulf seafood—how we take great care of our valuable fisheries resources through research, regulations, and responsible harvesting practices."
FINFO uses education, rather than advocacy, to help seafood buyers appreciate the unique environment of the Gulf and demonstrate that Gulf seafood is not only world-famous but sustainable, too. "For decades, our biologists, managers, and fishing industry have worked hard to ensure Louisiana's fisheries operate sustainably and continue to provide some of the best quality, best tasting seafood on the market," stated LDWF Assistant Secretary Randy Pausina. "And now, through FINFO, we're able to clearly explain this to the world."
LDWF is charged with managing and protecting Louisiana's abundant natural resources. For more information, visit us at www.wlf.la.gov [5] and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ldwffb [6] or follow us on Twitter @LDWF.

Watch the video…
Ellie Brown shares rotary cutting tips, including equipment choices, basic technique, and how to safely change and dispose of used blades. If you have problems running the video, click here for troubleshooting tips.
Download the Instructions…
Click here to download a .pdf of these instructions. (Problems downloading our .pdf? Click here for troubleshooting tips.)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Rotary cutting has revolutionized quiltmaking! Were it not for these wonderfully handy gadgets, millions of quiltmakers would not have joined the quilting craze. Using cutting tools safely and accurately is very important, so we want to share a few tips for beginning rotary-cutters.
Step 1. After being cut or torn at the store and then washed and ironed
Keeping selvages even, scoot fabric along with your fingers until it falls perfectly straight. The raw edges where fabric is torn will probably not match up.
Step 2. Lay fabric on cutting mat with folded edge toward you and raw edge to be straightened facing right (left-handers facing left). Place 6″ x 24″ rotary-cutting rule on fabric, aligning one of the crosswise measuring lines along the fold. Pressing down firmly on the ruler with your left (right) hand, cut upward, or away from yourself, along the rule edge. Some people prefer cutting part way, stopping the cutting motion but not lifting the cutter, moving the left (right) hand up, then finishing the cut.
Step 3. Turn cutting board around so that newly straightened edge is facing left (right). To cut strips, find line on rule to match width of strip desired. Place this line exactly on cut edge of fabric and cut strip.
Rotary Cutting Frequently Used Shapes
Perfect squares: Align 1 or more strips of the same width and trim ends to get an even starting point. Make cuts the same width as strips were cut.
|Half-square and quarter-square triangles: A square cut once diagonally makes 2 half-square triangles: a square cut twice diagonally makes 4 quarter-square triangles.
Rotary Cutting Strip-Pieced Patchwork
|Strip-piecing refers to rotary cut strips of specified widths being sewn together on long edges to make strip-pieced units.
|When creating strip-pieced patchwork, it is wise to press seam allowances in opposite directions so that long units can be layered for cutting quickly and will later be easy to sew. In the photo, seam allowances were pressed toward the light floral fabric on both strips.
|Strip-pieced units are cut apart, segments positioned to make patchwork, and sewn together.

Over the weekend, I met two individuals— on two separate occasions—both of whom were proud owners of a Samsung Galaxy S3. A huge ass phone with a huge ass screen. Why would you ever want such a giant phone, I asked, incredulous. Both said the main selling point was the ability to watch porn on the go, on the john, on the subway—just about anywhere, whenever, discretely.
Me? I use my iPad for that. At home. And I can't say I'd really want to watch porn on the subway or in a public restroom, anwyay. Have any of you ever justified a giant-size smartphone the way the guys I spoke to justify theirs?
Do you do this?

"Breaking Bad" broke big Monday night at the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards, taking home the honor for best drama for its final season, along with statues for stars Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul and Anna Gunn. Cranston expressed surprise: "Even I thought about voting for Matthew," he joked of fellow nominee Matthew McConaughey.
As master of ceremonies, first-time host Seth Meyers made it look easy. Which isn't all that surprising. After more than half a decade delivering punch lines behind the desk at "Saturday Night Live's" "Weekend Update" — and six months into his tenure as the host of his own talk show on NBC — Meyers delivered his monologue like a man who understood just how far to push the envelope (not very far) while still serving up legitimately funny material.
"This year we're doing the Emmys on a Monday night in August," he said, "which if I understand television, means the Emmys are about to get canceled." Meyers' target was the business of show as opposed to anyone specific in the audience. Considering how sensitive nominees have been in years past, this was probably the smart move. And so, more well-aimed digs at the industry.
"We're doing the show on Monday in part because MTV aired the Video Music Awards last night," he said. "That's right, MTV still has an award show for music videos even though they no longer show music videos. That's like network TV holding an award show and giving all the awards to cable and Netflix. That would be crazy. Why would they do that?"
Ironically, a striking number of early winners were from the old guard broadcast networks, including "Modern Family" for best comedy (its fifth win in a row) and a number of acting wins: Julianna Margulies ("The Good Wife") Allison Janney ("Mom") and Ty Burrell ("Modern Family") and Jim Parsons ("The Big Bang Theory"). Top reality competition went to a perennial favorite, CBS's "Amazing Race," and for execs who have been wringing their hands over the very real threat of cord-cutters and declining audience share, these wins probably relieved some of that anxiety — for one night, anyway.
A repeat winner who also made her name on a broadcast sitcom was Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who took home her third Emmy in a row for HBO's "Veep," and delivered a show-stopping moment on her way to the stage, a make-out session with onetime "Seinfeld" love interest Cranston. Other Emmys went to "Breaking Bad" for writing (Moira Walley-Beckett) and director Cary Fukunaga for his visually distinctive work on HBO's "True Detective." "Sherlock: His Last Vow" nabbed three Emmys in the miniseries category, including lead actor for Benedict Cumberbatch, supporting actor for Martin Freeman and a win for writer Steven Moffat.
Early on, presenter Jimmy Kimmel came out to zing to Matthew McConaughey, who was nominated for "True Detective." The actor, he claimed, didn't even own a TV; he "traded his television for conch shell full of weed." And then Kimmel extolled the virtues of McConaughey's good looks. "That is not a television face." Kimmel pointed to Ricky Gervais of Netflix's "Derek": "That is a television face."
A handful of winners can trace their early careers back to Chicago, including Gail Mancuso, the "Modern Family" director who grew up in suburban Cook County, and a trio of Northwestern University alums: Louis-Dreyfus, Gunn and best variety show winner Stephen Colbert, the latter win a nice send-off to his Comedy Central show before he moves on to take over for David Letterman on CBS next year.
There wasn't a hallmark joke to hang the show on, or even anything that memorable, but the night's sharpest lines belonged to Meyers, also a Northwestern alum. "The Emmys are my favorite award show. Sure, the Golden Globes has alcohol and everybody's always talking and moving around. Here, everyone sits silently in one place, and just waits for the pills to kick in. Tonight, we are all Crazy Eyes."

Rays, Padres open set at the Trop
Tampa Bay righty Alex Cobb can stay unbeaten for the season at home when the Rays host the San Diego Padres on Friday night in the opener of a three-game interleague series at Tropicana Field.
A 25-year-old from Boston, Cobb has won all three of his starts in Florida this spring, defeating Cleveland, Oakland and the New York Yankees while allowing just three runs on 17 hits in 23 innings.
The former fourth-round draft pick debuted with the Rays with nine starts in 2011, then won 11 times in 20 decisions last season while posting a 4.03 earned run average across 136 1/3 innings.
He's 10-7 with a 3.23 ERA in 20 career starts at home, compared to an 8-6 mark and a 4.15 ERA in 18 road starts.
Cobb has never faced the Padres.
He's opposed by Dominican righty Edinson Volquez, who's won three straight starts after beginning the season with three losses and a no-decision.
The 29-year-old ended the skid with a 2-1 win over Milwaukee on April 24, and has subsequently topped the Chicago Cubs and Arizona while allowing five runs on 11 hits in 12 1/3 innings.
Volquez won 17 games for the Cincinnati Reds in his initial season after being acquired from Texas for outfielder Josh Hamilton. He struggled with injuries and ineffectiveness afterward, however, and was just 13-12 for the Reds in three subsequent years before a trade to the Padres for starter Mat Latos.
In his initial full year in San Diego, Volquez was 11-11 in 32 starts with a 4.14 ERA.
He defeated the Rays in his lone career meeting with them.
On Thursday at Tampa Bay, Luke Scott drew a bases-loaded walk to force in the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning, and the Rays salvaged a split in a four-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays with a 5-4 victory.
Toronto reliever Aaron Loup (1-3) retired the first two batters in the 10th before Evan Longoria doubled. Longoria nearly scored the go-ahead run two innings earlier, but was thrown out at home on a Scott single.
After intentionally walking James Loney, Loup was replaced by Brad Lincoln, who issued a free pass to Ryan Roberts that loaded the bases.
Scott quickly fell behind 0-2 in the count before working the decisive walk.
On Wednesday in San Diego, Jason Marquis tossed an eight-inning gem and the Padres eked out a 1-0 win to earn their second shutout in a three-game sweep of the Miami Marlins at Petco Park.
By forcing 13 groundball outs and allowing just two hits over his final five innings of work, Marquis (4-2) won his third straight decision, with the help of a sacrifice fly from Yonder Alonso. The Padres had just four hits.
Huston Street struck out a pair in the ninth to record his eighth save of the season and preserve the Padres' fourth win in a row and 11th in 14 games.
The teams have split 12 games across four interleague series since 2002. San Diego won two of three the last time they met, at Tampa Bay, in 2010.

We are SO close to our new little man! Oh my word, just think of how great his sweet little self is going to smell. Thinking of that just gave me a nice solid contraction.
No it didn't.
We are waiting things out over here. 4 days till my due date. My Dr has given us the green light to try for a vbac, and so that is what we are doing. Just for the record, in case anyone is curious, I've only had one natural delivery (with Ella), and then 3 consecutive c-sections because of carrying multiples.
And I mean "natural" in that it wasn't a csection, not in a non-medicated kind of way. I'm an Epidural kind of gal.
I know a vbac after 3 csections isn't real popular, but our Dr feels good about it thus far and so do we. If anything starts to concern us or we get to my due date with no sign of labor, then we will do a repeat csection. That is the deal my Dr made with us. I was induced with Ella, so I've never been able to actually go into labor on my own. And honestly? I'd just love to have that experience. But if I don't, that is TOTALLY fine :). I just want the babe and I to be safe and sound post delivery.
But you know, pray that I can go into labor on my own in the next few days, ok?? Pray for some painful contractions to set in. But not too painful - remember, I like the meds that numb all the things.
I know some of you may have seen this pic on Facebook, but I want to save it here as well so I remember these days :). And I know, it's such a professional maternity picture, isn't it?? I'm trying to cherish these last days of pregnancy. It is the plan for this to be our last biological child - I know, I know, I've said that before. But we really mean it this time. I think.
I popped my worn out jeans on this morning, and strapped my belly band on with my favorite maternity shirt...well, it's not really that it's my favorite one as much as it's the only one that still fits. I had to smile at this baby bump that God has grown. It's a shape only He can give. It's truly like I'm carrying around His grace in my belly. I don't deserve it, yet He still gives in abundance.
God has been so gracious and patient with me this year as I've tried to figure out what the heck He was doing in our growing family. He gives us what He KNOWS we need, not what we THINK we need. And then He equips us for the journey. I've learned this past year that that is one of our greatest blessings. He is faithful through it all, even in the confusing times.
Grace upon grace upon grace.
We are still loving on our little foster babe too, Baby M. Yes, on Facebook I often called him Baby K, but that was just a nickname. He will be M from now on.
I know I keep a tad quiet about him, it's not intentional, I would love to share more but sometimes I don't even know where to start. His case in general is kind of messy. He has some special needs - a feeding tube and some other concerns. We feel however that he will completely come out of all that with time and with some great doctors...and of course a lot of love from us :).
And also? It's just hard to put my heart out there sometimes because I know the possible outcome of this situation all too well. This is foster care, after all. He completely has my heart just like the rest of my kiddos, and we are very attached to say the least. Right now we are trusting that the Lord will keep him safe right where he is. And also learning that He is faithful no matter what the outcome, He will and is preparing us for the story He has written for M. It is a gift to get to love him.
He is pretty sweet, isn't he?
He's also a tad spoiled. I had nothing to do with that. Or maybe I had everything to do with it :).
So that's the round up. It's a busy season!
I am so, so ready to meet our new little man. I feel like I stay up half the night thinking of that moment when I get to finally hold him. Oh my, I can't wait! I just want that babe safe and sound in my arms.
I will update as soon as he arrives. It will probably hit Facebook first, and then the blog. I'll be sure to get a good picture of his fresh little chubby cheeks to share with you :).
Be back SOON!

Our local cricket association decided not to cancel matches on Black Saturday. Temp was about 44 degrees where we were playing, and the hot north wind was blowing about a million miles an hour. Trees were nearly touching the ground the wind was so strong. Such a surreal afternoon. We didn't realise what had happened with the fires until we finished.
Anyway, that day I distinctly recall how much fluid I drank. I'd brought along three litres of Powerade, and as well as that I drank four litres of water, and probably a litre of cordial in the four or five hours we played (we were bowling and I bowled about 15 overs). I kid you not, NOTHING came out of me that night, and I didn't need to piss until after lunch on the Sunday. Bizarre.
What is the most oppressive conditions you've played in?
* our comp has now decided that if the forecast temp is over 40 degrees, all matches are cancelled. Anything over 35 degrees is captain's discretion.

SUMMIT TWP — No one was injured when a train plowed into a unoccupied car Tuesday morning, according to a state police report.
The Chevy Impala driven by Jarod Hack, 19, of Butler became disabled on Carbon Center Road's railroad crossing just west of McGrady Hollow Road, which is about one mile north of Route 422.
About 7:50 a.m., a Buffalo and Pittsburgh locomotive was traveling west. The train's engineer saw the vehicle and put the train into emergency shut down mode.
However, the train was not able to stop in time and it hit the car on the rear passenger side. The train pushed the car about 450 feet before stopping. The car still was on the tracks a little bit when it stopped.
Hack was not in the car when the train struck it. He was not cited for the crash, according to the report.
Firefighters from Lick Hill, East Butler, Herman and Onieda Valley assisted state police. Crews cleared the scene at about 12:30 p.m.

January 1988 . . . In Jetavana
For days and nights now, I've entrusted my body to a bus traversing unpaved roads. Arriving to these holy places, what comes into view are traces of shabby ruins.
Yet thanks to our companion's skillful dharma sermon, the Buddha's words now blossom here of their own accord.
Before I realized it, I was by the Buddha's side. . .
My mind was swimming in delight.
Though in the midst of ruins, it was resplendent.
The plant cover here was all the noble Reineckia,
and in my mind, a lotus was secretly blooming.
What could ever compare to this feeling of wholeness?
Balampur, India
On the top of Vulture Peak. . .
Taking a stroll along a path where now there are only empty plains,
I ascend Vulture Peak, where
The Buddha himself once dragged his old bones up this same hill,
Venturing out to the edge of the rock to look down upon the Venuvana, this must have been where the Lotus Sutra was expounded . . .
Hmmmm.... and over there.... his disciple Ananda is standing at his side. Sitting over there, Kasyapa offers his sublime smile of perfect understanding. The 500 arhats are sitting right there. . . and in the empty space above, the Buddhas and bodhisattvas of the 10 directions are all seated in the air. Now I too have arrived, I've become a bodhisattva taking part in this Buddhist service.
I'm nearly dizzy with delight.
Offerings of incense drift in the air.
I bow in the direction where Buddha preached his sermons,
moved to tears.
If only I'd been born in that era, with a chance to have seen the Buddha with my own eyes.
As the sutra says, "The profound dharma, impossible to encounter in myriad eons..."
Yet, this dharma, said to be difficult to encounter in a million, ten million eons, I've found it!
For what other karma could I possibly be more thankful?
Haven't I already met the Buddha face to face?

NEW AND IMPROVED: Mind Power Deck is now manufactured by the U.S. Playing Card Company in red Bicycle Rider backs. But we didn't stop there - other important features have been added, making this the best mind reading deck on the planet!
Spread a deck of cards face up on the table and ask a spectator to look at any card. No one else could possibly know the card because he never touches or names it. You concentrate, then slowly but surely "read his mind" and name the card!
You can repeat it immediately and it will become even more baffling. In fact, even if several people simultaneously look at different cards you can read each person's mind and name his card correctly every time! John Kennedy's Mind Power Deck is so eerie, so impossible, your audience will be convinced that you possess a sixth sense.
Why is it so good? John Kennedy collaborated with master magician and mentalist Tim Conover to create the ultimate mind reading deck. It can be shown as a normal deck of fifty two cards and even be handled by a spectator without them noticing anything unusual. Yet you'll be able to "read their minds" correctly every time. And there's no system to memorize because the deck does the work for you. You'll absolutely love this trick!

New Smart Phone App Lets Public Report Rain, Hail, Sleet and Snow to NOAA
Public reports will aid weather research
It's now easier than ever to be a part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) weather research. The NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory, in partnership with the University of Oklahoma, has launched a free app for users to anonymously report precipitation from their Apple or Android mobile device.
With the mPING app,anyone can send a weather observation on the go. The user simply opens the app, selects the type of precipitation that is falling at his or her location, and presses submit. The user's location and the time of the observation are automatically included in the report.
All submissions will become part of a research project called PING – Precipitation Identification Near the Ground. NSSL and OU researchers will use the mPING submissions to build a valuable database of tens of thousands of observations from across the United States. Full press release

Mike Shanahan had a change of heart.
A day after walking out of a press conference refusing to answer questions about his job status, the Washington Redskins coach spent some time Monday talking to reporters about ... his job status.
Shanahan confirmed that he has no plans to resign from his position despite the team's 3-11 record and rumors that his days with the organization are numbered.
"I'll get a chance to sit down with Dan [Snyder] at the end of the season," Shanahan said. "I'll give him my opinion on the direction I think the franchise could go. He's going to give me his idea what he wants to do, he's the owner of the football team. But all we can do at the end of the season is communicate, and I think we have that kind of relationship where we can be honest with each other."
And even though the coach ended star quarterback Robert Griffin III's season with three games remaining and replacement Kirk Cousins played well against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, Shanahan stressed that RG3 is "clearly" the team's starting quarterback of the future.
Now, who the coach of the future might be? That's not quite as clear.
