The 10 Greatest “Made for TV” Horror Movies of All Time

One of my favorite movies is POPEYE. I don’t love it from a place of nostalgia. I don’t love it ironically. I love it because the songs by Harry Nilsson are great. I love it because Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall as Popeye and Olive Oyl, not to mention the rest of the cast. The […]

How To Build A Light Bar

By Tux Turkel

Now here's a foolproof, fairly simple way to make sure your salty trailer always has working lights.

Photo of a light bar on a trailerable boatA light bar gets your trailer lights up where other motorists can see them, and they never get dunked. Always check and comply with all local and federal laws. (Photo: Tux Turkel)

If your boat's on a trailer — especially an aging one — chances are you have light problems. You try to avoid trouble, of course. You check connections and coat stuff with grease. But you still can't count on all your lights working, all the time. Especially if you boat in saltwater.

Here's a bright idea: Build a light bar — a portable, trailer lighting system mounted to a length of wood. You attach it to your boat for travel, remove it when dunking the trailer, and store it when you get to the ramp and back home. With proper design, a good light bar is a low-cost solution that will perform reliably for the life of your boat.

Step 1: Rewire The Trailer

Most small-boat trailer lighting systems use a standard, flat-four, quick-connect plug. Decide which side you want the light bar plug to be on. Then snake new wire through that side of the trailer frame, forward to aft. Make sure the plug at the tongue of your trailer mates up with the plug coming from your vehicle.

At the stern end of the trailer, mount an outdoor marine-grade electrical workbox. This is where you'll hook up the new wiring to a short pigtail and your quick-connect plug.

Don't just wrap bare wires with electrical tape. Use waterproof butt connectors and heat-shrink tubing. Or as the photo shows, use household wire nuts and fill each nut completely with silicone sealant. Waterproof any openings and the cover seal with silicone or other marine sealant. Screw on a plastic box cover when done.

Step 2: Build & Wire It

Measure a 2x4 or similar lumber to fit across your gunwales. Decide where and how it will be secured to the boat.

Mount a basic trailer light kit on each end of the bar, as shown. Hook up the wires and the quick-connect plug lead in another workbox, with silicone-filled wire nuts. Use stainless insulated wire staples for a neat run across the bar. The wires running from the bar to the trailer plug should be long enough to comfortably reach, but not so long that they could rub on the ground or get tangled.

Step 3: Set The Bar

You might include screw eyes at each end of the bar, so it can be secured with cords around port and starboard stern cleats, for example. If you're worried about scratching your boat, pad the bar with bunk carpet.

Set the bar on the gunwales and secure it. Plug the bar into the pigtail on the trailer, and plug your forward connection into the vehicle. Now you have lights you can depend on!

— Published: Fall 2013

Before You Start

Everyone's boat and trailer are a bit different. But consider some basic design principles:

  • The light bar should sit on the gunwales, so drivers behind you can clearly see the lights.
  • Your light bar must be easy to attach and remove and should fit in your vehicle while you're off boating.
  • Use all-new marine-grade wiring with secure, waterproof connections. You don't want wires getting snagged or shorting out.
  • Permanently attach a new harness to the trailer frame. That way, you don't have a long coil to deal with when the light bar is removed for storage. You need only a short pigtail to plug in your light bar.
  • A light bar is really best for small boats. If your craft is more than 80 inches wide, the federal government requires side marker lights. You also need a white light over your trailer's license plate at night if you tow after dark. Check and comply with all local and federal laws. These may change.

Brembo Sport Brake Rotors - Rear - 37190

Rear Sport Brake Rotors

Brembo Sport Brake Rotors

This High Performance Brake System consists of set of integral discs, available drilled or slotted.

The Brembo Sport discs are premium OEM replacement units that meet or exceed all vehicle manufacturers' specifications and tolerances. They are fully compatible with stock calipers wheels and other chassis components, easily mounting onto the vehicle. The brake discs are built in high carbon cast iron and they are available either drilled or slotted. The brake discs are then plated for corrosion resistance and for a bold, aggressive appearance.

High carbon cast iron guarantees top performances and less noise due to a higher damping coefficent.

Most of the SPORT line is composed of discs with ABE approval granted by the German Ministry of Transport on TUV certification. This is because Brembo actually develops and manufactures its entire range of brake discs in its own factories at very high quality standards ensured by stringent checks on the whole production process.

Both drills and slots improve braking consistency, continuously cleaning and refreshing the pad surface. These slots or drilling provide a path to disperse built-up heat and gasses that result from pads acting on the rotors, as well as help to clean and refresh the pad surface. Both help in interrupting the water film in wet driving conditions, improving the brake response; this effect is more sensitive on cross-drilled discs owing to the different full/empty ratio of the surface and the possibility to have water flowing through theholes in the ventilation gap (on vented discs). On the other hand, where extreme friction level is required, the adoption of a highly aggressive pad such as in racing applications is necessary and slots are the right solution: being the slots not all through the disc thickness, the overall mechanical resistance of the disc is higher. Additionally, all of Brembo's slotted discs are directional: the discs should be installed such that the end of the slot nearest the outer edge of the disc contacts the pad first.

Goldolphin’s day at Goodwood - but Hughes has his say as well

Have your say

The famous colours of Godolphin dominated the winner’s enclosure at Goodwood’s penultimate meeting of the season.

They took the honours in the afternoon’s first two races - then doubled their tally with another two successes, including one in the £30,000 feature race, the Tanqueray Stakes.

But despite their domination, Goodwood’s top jockey Richard Hughes was still the most successful rider of the day with a double to take his 2011 wins tally at the course to 20.

Four different jockeys steered Godolphin runners to victory, three on Mahmood Al Zarooni-trained runners, one on a Saeed Bin Suroor contender.

It was Ted Durcan on 10/1 shot Hunter’s Light who got their big win of the day in the feature event, comfortably beating two more likely Godolphin runners, Debussy and Prince Siegfried, both much better-priced.

Bin Suroor, who won the same listed race last year with Holberg, said: “He ran well - I think a mile and a quarter is the best trip for him. The ground really helped him and he has always shown ability on soft ground at home.

“There are no plans, but we’ll keep the options open for European races for the rest of the year.”

The card began with a Godolphin one-two. Frankie Dettori won the British Stallion Studs Supporting British Racing EBF Maiden Stakes on Genius Step, the Mahmood Al Zarooni-trained 6/4 favourite.

Another from the same stable, Okimono, was impressive in finishing second at 8/1.

And Antioco Murgia steered Welcome Gift home after going off at 7/4 favourite in the RH Hall EBF Maiden Stakes.

The ten-length victory had some bookies making Welcome Gift 33/1 for next year’s Derby.

After the feature, Goldolphin were at it again, this time with Ahmed Ajtebi guiding Sandusky home ahead of stablemate Estourah, ridden by Dettori, in third. Andrew Balding’s Billy Buttons (David Probert) separated them.

But Hughes can never be kept out of the winner’s enclosure for long at this course and he had a double to savour on a day when 5mm of rain had left the going soft.

In the 3663 First For Food Service Stakes he took a photo-finish win for Silenzio, the 7/2 favourite - his and trainer Richard Hannon’s 19th success of the season on the Downs.

And he bettered that in a thrilling Discovery Foods Stakes on board the Alan King-trained Samsons Son (16/1), beating Bin Suroor and Godolphin’s Tahaamah by a neck in another photo.

The last, the Merbury Catering Consultants Apprentice Stakes, went to John Holt-trained Mata Hari Blue (11/4) ridden by Matthew Lawson.

Goodwood’s final meeting of 2011 takes place on Sunday, October 9.

Soil Setting For Pot Plants: Easy Tips

By: Asha Das
Subscribe to Boldsky

Planting in pots is attaining great popularity nowadays where people are living in apartments, flats or in houses with minimum space. Pots will help in saving space to grow a plant. It will help keep the care and maintenance of the plant easy. Planting in pots will create a very easily manageable garden space, because the pots can be moved from one place to another according to your convenience. You can place pots in your garden, in your room, on your kitchen window sill area or can hang it on the roof of your balcony.

When making a container garden, the most important section that needs extra care is the preparation of pot. It is the same in case of setting up indoor plants. A good soil setting is very important to get the maximum out of your plants. Good soil setting is also important for the plants to get rooted and grow. If you are planning to set up a pot, here are some tips to make the soil setting for pots easier.

Soil Setting For Pot Plantss: Easy TIps

Quality of soil: Selection of the soil is very important for soil setting in pots. Check whether the soil that you are using in your pot
is good for the plant or not. The soil should be free of any bugs or weeds. Make sure whether the soil will give proper drainage as well.

Use pot soils: Pot soils are available in the market, which is made in such a way that they are aerated, sterile, lightweight, and made of a good balance of organic material and mineral particles like peat, sand, or perlite.

Soil for the plant: Decide the type of soil setting for pots only after considering the type of plant that you are planning to proceed with. The soil should be suitable for the type and size of the plant, including its rooting pattern.

Proper drainage: Before doing soil setting for pots, make sure that your pot has holes in the bottom for assisting good drainage. Using gravel or grit to about a quarter of the pot's depth will help water drain out from the bottom of the soil.

Filling: The most important part of the soil setting for pots is filling. Start to fill the pot with a multi-purpose or soil-based compost after adding the gravel or grit. The filling should be done to approximately three quarters of the pot's depth.

Setting: After planting, fill the gaps between the plants with compost. Leaving some space between the pot's rim and the soil is very important, so that the pot will not overflow when watered. Opt for loose setting or tight setting of the soil based on the type of plant.

Decorate, if needed: It is a good idea to decorate the pots with stones or pebbles. If you are doing soil setting for pots that are used indoors, decorating it will give a more attractive pot setting. You can use any material of your choice, but it should ensure proper drainage.

Is Rashami Desai heading for a divorce?

The television actor drops her husband’s surname

Rashami Desai, better known as Tapasya Thakur from Uttaran on Colors, seems to be heading for a divorce. Even if not, it surely looks like that as she recently decided to drop her husband- Nandish Sandhu’s surname from her name.

The two actors got hitched in February 2011 and seemed to be going steady for over a year but now it seems that the water is no more flowing under the bridge. Things started coming in the open once she stopped pressing on reporters to use her husband’s surname after her maiden name, which used to be a norm in the past. The Uttaran actor now prefers to go with her maiden name instead.

When asked by a leading newspaper, the pretty TV actor courted any speculations by saying, “What’s in a name?” No Rashami, there is definitely nothing in a name, until we start reading between the lines. What do you think peeps?

Garufa is an intimate Argentine restaurant in Highbury, serving delicious and authentic South American cuisine. Taking centre-stage in Garufa are the sumptuous grilled steaks that Argentina has become famous for.

The grill is the mainstay of the Garufa steakhouse in north London, featuring in uncompromising mixed-grill breakfasts and melt-in-the-mouth grass-fed steaks, which include flank, sirloin, rib-eye and fillet cuts. Traditional Argentine empanada pasties make a tasty starter, while fish of the day is a freshly-caught option.

Desserts on the Garufa menu match traditional South American recipes with quirky additions like popcorn ice cream, whilst wine options are carefully-selected and can be sampled at special Garufa wine-tasting events. Diners at the restaurant can enjoy a cosy interior lit by a glittering chandelier, which illuminates traditional South American art and rustic exposed brickwork.

Garufa is a venture from restaurateur trio, Alberto Abbate, Gustavo Vazquez and Ernesto Paiva, and can be found on Highbury Park, a short walk from Finsbury Park Tube Station.

Against the Grain eBook

This eBook from the Gutenberg Project consists of approximately 198 pages of information about Against the Grain.

These reversions to religion, these intimations of faith tormented him particularly since the changes that had lately taken place in his health.  Their progress coincided with that of his recent nervous disorders.

He had been tortured since his youth by inexplicable aversions, by shudderings which chilled his spine and made him grit his teeth, as, for example, when he saw a girl wringing wet linen.  These reactions had long persisted.  Even now he suffered poignantly when he heard the tearing of cloth, the rubbing of a finger against a piece of chalk, or a hand touching a bit of moire.

The excesses of his youthful life, the exaggerated tension of his mind had strangely aggravated his earliest nervous disorder, and had thinned the already impoverished blood of his race.  In Paris, he had been compelled to submit to hydrotherapic treatments for his trembling fingers, frightful pains, neuralgic strokes which cut his face in two, drummed maddeningly against his temples, pricked his eyelids agonizingly and induced a nausea which could be dispelled only by lying flat on his back in the dark.

These afflictions had gradually disappeared, thanks to a more regulated and sane mode of living.  They now returned in another form, attacking his whole body.  The pains left his head, but affected his inflated stomach.  His entrails seemed pierced by hot bars of iron.  A nervous cough racked him at regular intervals, awakening and almost strangling him in his bed.  Then his appetite forsook him; gaseous, hot acids and dry heats coursed through his stomach.  He grew swollen, was choked for breath, and could not endure his clothes after each attempt at eating.

He shunned alcoholic beverages, coffee and tea, and drank only milk.  And he took recourse to baths of cold water and dosed himself with assafoetida, valerian and quinine.  He even felt a desire to go out, and strolled about the country when the rainy days came to make it desolate and still.  He obliged himself to take exercise.  As a last resort, he temporarily abandoned his books and, corroded with ennui, determined to make his listless life tolerable by realizing a project he had long deferred through laziness and a dislike of change, since his installment at Fontenay.

Being no longer able to intoxicate himself with the felicities of style, with the delicious witchery of the rare epithet which, while remaining precise, yet opens to the imagination of the initiate infinite and distant vistas, he determined to give the finishing touches to the decorations of his home.  He would procure precious hot-house flowers and thus permit himself a material occupation which might distract him, calm his nerves and rest his brain.  He also hoped that the sight of their strange and splendid nuances would in some degree atone for the fanciful and genuine colors of style which he was for the time to lose from his literary diet.

[Illustration:  THE MAGIC HORN]

* * * * *

  THE BOY’S MAGIC HORN[7] (1806)

Were I a little bird, And had two little wings, I’d fly to thee; But I must stay, because That cannot be.

  Though I be far from thee,
  In sleep I dwell with thee,
  Thy voice I hear.
  But when I wake again,
  Then all is drear.

  Each nightly hour my heart
  With thoughts of thee will start
  When I’m alone;
  For thou ’st a thousand times
  Pledged me thine own.

* * * * *

  Oh, would I were a falcon wild,
    I should spread my wings and soar;
  Then I should come a-swooping down
    By a wealthy burgher’s door.

  In his house there dwells a maiden,
    She is called fair Magdalene,
  And a fairer brown-eyed damsel
    All my days I have not seen.

  On a Monday morning early,
    Monday morning, they relate,
  Magdalene was seen a-walking
    Through the city’s northern gate.

  Then the maidens said:  “Thy pardon—
    Magdalene, where wouldst thou go?”
  “Oh, into my father’s garden,
    Where I went the night, you know.”

  And when she to the garden came,
    And straight into the garden ran,
  There lay beneath the linden-tree
    Asleep, a young and comely man.

  “Wake up, young man, be stirring,
    Oh rise, for time is dear,
  I hear the keys a-rattling,
    And mother will be here.”

  “Hearst thou her keys a-rattling,
    And thy mother must be nigh,
  Then o’er the heath this minute
    Oh come with me, and fly!”

  And as they wandered o’er the heath,
    There for these twain was spread,
  A shady linden-tree beneath,
    A silken bridal-bed.

  And three half hours together,
    They lay upon the bed.
  “Turn round, turn round, brown maiden;
    Give me thy lips so red!”

  “Thou sayst so much of turning round,
    But naught of wedded troth,
  I fear me I have slept away
    My faith and honor both.”

  “And fearest thou, thou hast slept away
    Thy faith and honor too,
  I say I’ll wed thee yet, my dear,
    So thou shalt never rue.”

  Who was it sang this little lay,
    And sang it o’er with cheer?
  On St. Annenberg by the town,
    It was the mountaineer.

  He sang it there right gaily,
    Drank mead and cool red wine,
  Beside him sat and listened
    Three dainty damsels fine.

The Rules of Project Risk Management : Implementation Guidelines for Major Projects - Robert James, Mr Chapman

The Rules of Project Risk Management

Implementation Guidelines for Major Projects

Sorry, the eBook that you are looking for is not available right now.

We did a search for other eBooks with a similar title, and found some results for you that may be helpful.

Other Available Formats (Hide)

The evidence continues to grow that the effective management of risk is the very kernel of successful project management. Its absence frequently leaves project sponsors lamenting missed objectives and shareholders coming to terms with an organisation’s poor bottom line performance.

Dr Robert Chapman's The Rules of Project Risk Management stands out from other risk management texts because it provides very practical guidance, supported by numerous mini case studies, many of which have attracted considerable publicity. The book brings to life both the benefits of project risk management when effectively applied and the ramifications when it is misunderstood or receives scant attention.

The structure of the book is based on International Standard ISO 31000 seen through the lens of general systems theory - where projects are undertaken by organisations which have an external context and internal sub-systems. A project system is seen to be composed of seven key subject areas. Practical short ‘rules’ or implementation guidelines, written in an engaging style, are offered to support each of these subject areas and aid quick assimilation of key risk management messages.

Each rule focuses on a specific aspect of effective risk management which warrants attention in its own right. Taken together the rules will provide those implementing projects with the building blocks to secure a project’s objectives. They have been drawn from a wealth of experience gained from applying risk management practices across multiple industries from Europe to Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

Duh! by Bob Fenster

Book Description

Never kiss a rattlesnake. Put on the parachute "before" jumping from the plane. Don't bring your dog along if you're going to rob a bank. These seem like obvious enough strategies but, unfortunately, we seem to be a race of rattlesnake kissers. "Duh! The Stupid History of the Human Race" is a hilarious collection of the stupid things that people do-even the really smart people. "Part 1: The Stupid Chronicles" details the unbelievably idiotic things people have done, organized by such topics as politics, history, sports, arts, science, and dumb plays in the face of fate. "Part 2: Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Stupidity but Were Too Smart to Ask" looks at the track record of human stupidity in all its dumb glory. And "Part 3: How to Destupify" offers tongue-in-cheek advice on how to avoid ending up in a future edition of the book.

Andriessen's Vermeer Pictures: new orchestral suite

(December 2006)

Andriessen's Vermeer Pictures: new orchestral suite

A new orchestral suite, arranged by Clark Rundell from Louis Andriessen’s opera Writing to Vermeer, was given its UK premiere in November by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra under Rundell’s baton.

With so few orchestral works in Andriessen’s catalogue, Vermeer Pictures signals a major addition to the repertoire as well as providing a taster for the full opera. The four-movement suite, lasting 30 minutes, builds a composite of the opera’s domestic scenes in Delft, where the three women in Vermeer’s life write letters to the absent artist.

“Andriessen has called the opera his ‘delicate, feminine daughter’, and it is true that, in the suite dubbed Vermeer Pictures, there is little sign of the punchy, splintery neo-primitivism that is his signature style. Instead the music is mostly lyrical, and the presence of cimbalom, two pianos and two amplified guitars reinforces the bewitching radiance of the harmony… [Yet] there is still a bracing, confrontational tone beneath the surface. Like his musical godfather Stravinsky, Andriessen renounces as much as he embraces, and it is this tendency that gives power and focus to his time-travelling journeys between late Renaissance and jazz.”
Daily Telegraph

Andriessen’s new string quartet, miserere, for the Schoenberg Quartet receives its first performances in Utrecht, The Hague and Amsterdam on 16, 21 and 25 April. He is continuing work on his opera, La Commedia, based on Dante’s great poetic journey through inferno, purgatory and paradise, scheduled for premiere by the Netherlands Opera at the Holland Festival in June 2008.

Ladies, looking for your skiing sugar daddy?

I receive some peculiar ski news releases, but this one wins. “The Top 10 Sugar Daddy Ski Resorts in North America,” list is out, compiled by – “the world’s largest dating site that matches wealthy men and benefactors with attractive women, who seek mutually beneficial relationships.” So whether you are a snow bunny looking for a buddy, a cougar who needs someone to carve with, or a single lady tired of the singles line, here are the ski mountains where you are most likely to meet your wealthy winter match:

1. Whistler, British Columbia
2. Jackson Hole, Wyoming
3. Vail, Colorado
4. Deer Valley/Park City, Utah
5. Telluride, Colorado
6. Sun Valley, Idaho
7. Banff, Alberta
8. Mammoth Lakes, California
9. Aspen, Colorado
10. Snowbird/Alta, Utah

Photo by Greg Burke of #2 Jackson Hole Wyoming

The poll of 6,500 self-proclaimed sugar daddy skiers lists alpine criteria as: 1) snow/mountain quality; 2) accommodations; 3) après-ski amenities; 4) accessibility.

Apparently no Eastern ski resorts qualify as top mountains for millionaire matchmaking – not enough powder skiing perhaps. Are there no lady killers at Killington, no megabucks men at Magic Mountain? I guess you will have to hop a plane to find these rich, rock star, recreational skiers.

Brandon Wade, Founder and CEO of, which has over 2,000,000 members worldwide, shares stats on his skiing Sugar Daddy clients: the average member on his site earns $250,000 annually, has a net worth of $1.5 million and spends $3,500-$4,000 on a two-person, four day ski vacation.

Skiing is a pricey pastime, and ski resorts are predominantly male, so I suppose if you put the two together – you increase your odds of discovering “whose your ski daddy?” But you have to filter through the ski bums to find your powder prince, or subscribe to this dating site.

My thoughts: this list of top 10 ski resorts is impressive based purely on ski terrain and resort amenities. #2 Jackson Hole in Wyoming has received 17-feet of snow this season. I skied Jackson last January and its amazing. So gals, if your bachelor hunt goes bust, at least you will have good turns and a good time.

See you on the slopes.

Rob Gronkowski updates rehab, tackles criticism

Rob Gronkowski is at ESPN studios in Connecticut today, mostly because he’s one of the candidates to appear on the cover of the wildly popular Madden NFL 25 video game.

But when he visited with Mike & Mike in the Morning, he was asked about his left forearm, which broke twice toward the end of last season and then got infected, which required a third surgical procedure.

He updated his rehabilitation progress, and also addressed criticism stemming from his topless wrestling at a Las Vegas nightclub last month.

“It’s just unfortunate what happened, it’s a rare occasion it happened like that, that it went back in and re-broke in a different spot,” Gronkowski said of the second break. “You really can’t do anything about it, that’s the thing. Rehabbed my first one many hours every day and then go back out in the playoff game, and you catch the ball on the sideline, you land on it and it breaks again.

“It’s football though – you’re putting your body on the line every time you step out on that field, not just on the game field but practice field. You just gotta live with it. The only thing I can do now is rehab it, get it better, get it 100 percent and get ready for next season.”

As for how he’s feeling, Gronkowski said he’s doing a lot better.

“Right now I’m just rehabbing, getting muscles around it stronger, get everything re-activated because it shuts down a little bit when it’s healing. Just rehabbing and when trainers give me ‘good to go’, hopefully in the next couple of weeks, hopefully as soon as possible so I can get rolling again, get back in the weight room, get back on the field and do what I love doing, running around catching some balls,” he said.

When the grainy video of Gronkowski dancing appeared on the internet, his wrist-to-elbow black cast on full display, and then body-slamming a friend on a stage in Vegas surfaced, some fans were angered that the tight end was risking another injury.

But although he appreciates the sentiment, Gronkowski said he wouldn’t do anything to intentionally injure himself.

“They’re my fans. They’re big fans of the Patriots; they just want to see the team do well, and I totally understand where they don’t want me to put myself in jeopardy of getting hurt,” he said. “I would never do that, put myself in jeopardy. To the max, I love going out there every week to perform to best of my ability and I love going out there playing. I understand where they’re’ coming from, they just don’t want to see me hurt again and that’s understandable.”

As for what the Patriots’ reaction to his offseason so far – Bill Belichick strongly hinted at the recent NFL meetings that he was not pleased – Gronkowski was mum.

“Whatever I talk about with the Patriots, we stay confidential. Coming from myself, I’ve gotta watch out, who’s out there, who’s watching everything,” he said. “Basically I just keep doing what I’ve been doing since Day One (as a football player), that’s what got me this far and I’m going to keep grinding hard, keep hustling.”

ALDS: A’s 1, Tigers 0

Stephen Vogt’s single propels Oakland past Detroit

OAKLAND, Calif. – Lacking a budget to acquire that big bopper or elite offensive player, the A’s have notched victories this season with timely hitting. They got another Saturday night as Stephen Vogt’s bases-loaded single with no outs in the ninth delivered Yoenis Cespedes to give Oakland a 1-0 victory over Detroit and even this American League Division Series, 1-1.

Game 3 is scheduled for Monday at Comerica Park in Detroit.

The game featured spectacular pitching performances from Detroit’s Justin Verlander (7 innings, 4 hits, 11 strikeouts) and Oakland rookie Sonny Gray (8 innings, 4 hits, 9 strikeouts).

Cespedes led off the ninth with a single off Al Albuquerque and motored to third after Seth Smith laced a single to right. After Josh Reddick was intentionally walked, Vogt signed off Rick Porcello over a drawn-in infield for the winner.

The A’s mobbed each other in the infield, realizing how close they were to potential playoff extinction.

Gray, making his postseason debut, was brilliant. The Tigers scored three runs in the first inning of Game 1 and haven’t scored since.

“I knew there was going to be a lot of adrenaline and however I was able to harness that was going to be a big factor in the game,’’ said Gray. “Really I wasn’t even watching [Verlander] pitch, I was sitting in the dugout getting myself ready for the next inning.”

Verlander was watching.

“Sonny did one heck of a job. He handled himself like a veteran and it was very impressive,’’ said Verlander. “I’ve been working really hard [recently] to find my stuff and find my location and coming into tonight, especially after the first couple of innings, I kind of realized it’s probably going to be a low-scoring game and one [run] might even do it.”

Verlander capped his stellar outing by striking out Vogt on a 98-mile-per-hour fastball after the A’s catcher recovered from an 0-and-2 hole to extend the at-bat with seven foul balls. Vogt left two runners stranded after Brandon Moss walked to begin the seventh and reached third on a single by Reddick, who took second on the throw.

Verlander struck out 11 — as did Game 1 starter Max Scherzer — and allowed four hits in seven innings with one walk.

Both teams wasted scoring chances in the middle innings. Cespedes and Smith started the fifth with singles to right, giving the crowd their first real thrill.

Reddick attempted a sacrifice bunt that third baseman Miguel Cabrera caught on the fly. Verlander then ramped up his arsenal, striking out Vogt on a wicked curveball and Eric Sogard on a fastball clocked at 97.

The Tigers blew their chance in the top of the inning when Gray struck out Austin Jackson and Vogt pegged Jose Iglesias trying to steal second, stranding Omar Infante at third. Infante was the lone runner to reach third through six innings.

Verlander is one of the more celebrated postseason pitchers in Tigers history, yet he was starting Game 2 because he wasn’t the best pitcher on his team this season. That honor belonged to Scherzer.

Verlander, one of the most dominant pitchers in the game over the last few seasons, struggled at times in 2013, compiling a 6.41 ERA and .287 opposing average in five May starts and 4.11 ERA in August. But in five September starts, Verlander’s velocity and location improved and he struck out 48 batters and allowed just two homers in 39 innings.

So he entered Game 2 with momentum and was flawless through four innings. He struck out three of the first six hitters faced, including Moss on a mighty swing to begin the second and then Smith on an unpopular called strike three by home plate umpire CB Bucknor.

The righthander retired the first 11 batters faced until Josh Donaldson invigorated the impatient crowd with a single up the middle with two out in the fourth. Verlander then went right back to work, striking out Moss on a knee-rattling changeup for his seventh strikeout and sixth looking.

Gray was making his first postseason start after making his major league debut July 10 in relief. He made two relief appearance before being recalled and making 10 starts. He won his final three decisions of the season. He finished 5-3 with a 2.67 ERA and a .214 opposing batting average.

It was a calculated risk to start Gray in such a important game, especially considering Oakland was facing the prospect of heading to Comerica Park trailing, 2-0. At 23 years and 332 days, Gray is the seventh youngest Athletic to start a postseason game, but he showed no signs of jitters in the early going.

Jackson began the game by whiffing on a 83-.m.p.h slider. Torii Hunter followed with a routine grounder to shortstop before Cabrera laced a single to left-center. Gray responded by inducing a grounder to first from Prince Fielder, drawing a raucous ovation.

Gray walked Alex Avila with one out in the second and he moved to second on a Don Kelly single off the glove of first baseman Moss. Gray didn’t flinch, however, getting No. 9 hitter Iglesias to bounce into a force play at third base.

He reached full comfort zone in the third when he struck out the top of the order, including Cabrera on a 96-m.p.h. heater.

THIS time last year, mental health didn’t mean much to former Bournemouth University student Alex Geraghty.

But following a traumatic experience in his first year, he started having panic attacks and was afraid of meeting new people.

He explains: “One year ago I had heard of conditions like depression and bipolar but could only hazard a guess at what these terms meant.

“But following a traumatic experience in my first year I started experiencing panic attacks when meeting people for the first time.

“I would even find it difficult to maintain conversations with friends and family, fearing that I was weird and my character dislikeable.”

Following an intensive course of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), along with strong support from a close network of family and friends, Alex has been able to regain control of his life.

According to local consultant psychiatrist, Dr Laurence Mynors-Wallis, a medical director at Dorset Healthcare, mental health issues are very common.

“Around one in four will suffer with a mental health problem at some stage in their life and most of those people won’t go to their GP, let alone a psychiatrist.

“People develop mental health problems for a variety of reasons. Some people are more vulnerable than others to developing psychological symptoms, either as a result of their upbringing, we know a difficult childhood can leave you vulnerable, and mental illness also runs in families.

“It’s often the stresses and strains of everyday life that can tip you over the edge into mental illness or it can come out of the blue.

“The problem with mental illness is that people often don’t realise it is happening as it can come upon them very slowly – they start feeling withdrawn, notice a lack of energy, they’re not sleeping so well.

“Secondly, there is a real issue of not getting help.

“But there is a service in Dorset that lots of people aren’t aware of called Steps 2 Wellbeing. It is a self referral service offering a range of options where someone can direct you to self help information or groups or activities or maybe one to one treatment.”

Alex puts his mind to it

ALEX has just spent seven days hitch-hiking around Europe, raising £1,835 for the charity YoungMinds, which supports young people with mental and emotional health related issues.

Now 40-5-1(30), the former contender speaks here with Boxing News:

Q: Congratulations on the win on Friday (May 22) over Eric Barrak. How pleased were you with your performance?

Razor Ruddock: “Thank you. I was very happy. He was very defensive because he didn’t want to get  knocked out. You can’t get them all out. But he was not a bad fighter at all.”

Q: Were you ever hurt in the fight, in the second-round for example?

R.R: “No, not at all. He came out very fast and I had to be very careful because he was throwing haymakers. But no, I was never at all woozy or anything like that. Let’s see what they’re [the critics] gonna say about this one.”.”

Q: And will you be going straight back in the gym, as was the case after the last fight you had in March?

R.R: “I ran 8K this morning (laughs). That’s the key, being consistent. I have knowledge and I have wisdom now, and being consistent with training is what it takes. You have to be right on top of it at all times. I aim and I hope to get better and better after each fight.”

Q: When are you aiming to fight again?

R.R: “Hopefully in September, but I really don’t know yet. I’ve challenged the Canadian heavyweight champion (28-year-old Dillon Carman) but he doesn’t want any part of me. But if I can get three or four fights in this year, I’ll be happy. I’m taking it one step at a time and I’m not trying to rush anything.”

Q: You haven’t lost a fight in 20 years…

R.R: (laughs). I know, man.

Q: If the worst came and you did lose one of your comeback fights, say on a cut or by decision…

R.R: (interrupting) It depends. But I’m not worried. I have a very good vibe about this and if one day I don’t have that vibe any more…….But doing this, it’s more than just boxing for me, with the training and the discipline, it allows me to live a clean life, with no drinking or any bad things.”

Q: Do you plan to box all your future fights in Canada?

R.R: “Yeah, I want to fight my fights in Canada. I want to finish my career at home.”

Q: Do you ever sit and watch any of your classic fights?

R.R: “I do, but I don’t really have time. And I’m looking to create new memories, not live in the past. And you know, too many people put too much emphasis on age. But age really is just a number. I’m very much a free spirit and these people who open their traps and can only say I’m too old, I say shut the f**k up! I mean, they have no experience [of boxing] or any documentation to say I cannot do this. So what do they know? And if I’m too old, what does that say about the guys I have beaten? They should instantly quit and go and hide in a cave, right! Look at Bernard [Hopkins], they all said, ‘Oh, what’s he doing fighting this guy [Sergei Kovalev]?’ Yet he [Kovalev] couldn’t stop him, so what does that say about him, does that mean that he [Kovalev] is no good in not being able to knock out a man of 50?”

Q: Ideally, and in shocking the world as you have said you will do, and are doing – when would you like to challenge for the world title?

R.R:  “Well, I hope to get better and better after each fight. I want to keep fighting and winning, until people demand I fight Klitschko or one of these guys. I know what wins fights: experience, strength and conditioning. Not age.”

Brainerd City Council: Fourth of July parade stays in Baxter

Brainerd or Baxter?

That was the question put forth at the Brainerd City Council Monday night as it pertained to the traditional 4th of July parade and celebration with the answer being, “Together they are a community.”

With that, the council denied Jaycees group’s proposal to bring the parade back in to Brainerd. The council members were split 3-3 on the issue, with members Lucy Nesheim, Bonnie Cumberland and Bob Olson voting in favor of having the Jaycees bring the parade back to Brainerd, while Mary Koep, Kevin Goedker and Dale Parks voted against it.

Mayor James Wallin was left with the deciding vote, choosing to keep the parade in Baxter for this year and in Brainerd Community Action’s hands.

“I want to start by thanking both groups for trying to make this parade happen,” said Wallin. “It’s a difficult and emotional decision but I want to thank Baxter for stepping up to the plate and I know that when they say it will only be for one year, they mean it, so I am going to vote no.”

A celebration historically held in Brainerd, Brainerd Community Action announced its plans to cancel the annual parade on April 12.

Following the cancelation, Brainerd Community Action approached the Baxter City Council to host, approved by council members on April 30, with the Baxter parade route set to run along Clearwater Road, Golf Course Drive, south to Excelsior Road and then north on Cypress Drive before cutting back to Clearwater Road and essentially circling the southern half of the former Pine Meadows Golf Course.

Discouraged that a Fourth of July parade wouldn’t be in downtown Brainerd this summer, Brainerd Jaycees began researching an alternative after first learning the traditional parade was canceled. In its letter in the city of Brainerd May 6, the Jaycees said: “We strongly urge the council to encourage Brainerd Community Action to cancel the parade and let the Jaycees run the 4th of July Parade in downtown Brainerd.”

The Jaycees reported they contacted the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Crow Wing County and Brainerd city officials about downtown parade routes and secured tentative permission, if the city approved, to temporarily detour South Sixth Street traffic during a parade down 13th Street. The county provided permission to use their parking lot for parade staging, the Jaycees reported. The proposal called for a parade route that starts on Laurel Street at South Second Street, goes east to South Fifth Street and then south to Norwood Street, east to South Eighth Street, north to Front Street and west to South Sixth Street.

Representatives from Jaycees, Brainerd Community Action and Baxter City Council were on hand to speak their side of the issue that drew out the masses to City Hall Monday night.

Henry Praska, representing Jaycees, addressed council first, explaining that Jaycees attempted to form communication with Brainerd Community Action to keep the parade in Brainerd. Communication, Praska said, that was not returned.

“We have not had any communication with Brainerd Community Action since a meeting, which left us (Jaycees) with more questions than ever, on April 26,” said Praska. “After seeing that the parade was going to be held in Baxter, Jaycees applied for the (parade) permit.

“The reason Jaycees feels so passionately about this is because this event has been in Brainerd for years. The citizen’s cherish it and we (Jaycees) have been encouraged to save this event because it means so much. This (proposed) site works. Call it an economic impact or a financial impact, but mostly, call it a community celebration, where people can be out to Brainerd.”

The lack of communication from Brainerd Community Action was troublesome for city council members as well.

“One thing that bothers me is the communication on this,” said council member Dale Parks. “It seems you (Brainerd Community Action) started planning two years ago and yet the city council wasn’t notified but instead found out about the canceling and relocation of the parade in the paper.

“It doesn’t sound right and it doesn’t seem right and it really bothers me.”

Brainerd Community Action member Chris Ford agreed that the communication on all fronts could have been clearer, but stood by the reasoning for moving the parade to Baxter, stressing safety remained priority when choosing a location.

“The biggest thing I want to let the council and the public know is that none of this was shortsighted or reactionary,” Ford said. “This is a temporary fix and as we started exploring options, the criteria we kept in mind was keeping the route safe and upon looking at all of the options, Baxter location would provide a safer location.”

Baxter City Council member Jim Klein spoke to council, ensuring that having the parade and fireworks held in Baxter was in no way to try and take away something from Brainerd.

"We did this as a service to help our sister city (Brainerd) out," Klein said. "And we have no plans to extend having this (parade) beyond this one year. It's a Fourth of July celebration that we want to see continue and if we can help out in anyway then fine."

And with the Baxter's willingness to help, Koep said it further proves the sense of community that the two towns of Brainerd and Baxter share.

"We have two groups who want to have a parade here," Koep said. "And I think our job here is to be community builders, not community dividers and that is the thing that bothers me is that I see this (parade) as a divider of Baxter and Brainerd.

"I think we need to take this opportunity to share in the community that we both are and not have it divide us."

Cloquet man stabs himself while being served warrant

BEMIDJI - A Cloquet man stabbed himself in the chest three times inside a Bemidji-area residence Tuesday afternoon when law enforcement arrived to serve him with a warrant, authorities said.

Wendell Lee Olson, 43, was served a Carlton County warrant for third-degree criminal sexual conduct on Averi Circle, about two miles west of Bemidji.

Beltrami County Sheriff Phil Hodapp said that when sheriff’s investigators and Bureau of Criminal Apprehension agents arrived, Olson barricaded himself in a bedroom and stabbed himself with a steak knife.

Officers heard the sound of a gun being slammed into battery and called for additional backup officers, according to a release from the Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office. While additional officers were responding, investigators and agents talked Olson into surrendering.

“We’re glad nobody else in the house was hurt in the incident,” Hodapp said.

Olson was transported to Sanford Bemidji Medical Center, then flown to Sanford in Fargo for additional treatment of his self-inflicted wounds.

A second man, Virgil Lee Roy, 46, of Bemidji, was arrested on theft charges out of Beltrami and Becker counties. The Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office said Olson was a guest at Roy’s residence.

Andy Cohen kvells over a flight attendant.

If Watch What Happens Live were on this week I would be giving my Mazel to the flight attendant who was pushed too hard by a nasty passenger and freaked out by soliloquizing f-bombs in the loudspeaker, grabbing a beer from the pantry, sliding down the exit chute into his jeep and home to his boyfriend. That sounds like a made-for-TV fantasy way to end a 20-year career getting badgered by air-raged passengers. Mazel, flight attendant dude!

Tonight is awesome. It's Restaurant Wars (a huge fight erupts in the Stew Room and the end is a shocker) on Top Chef followed by the finale of Work of Art. The WOA season-ender is GREAT. I cried several times. (I am a crier, but still....) I'm actually spending the day with our Top Chef team, then heading to a Work of Art soiree to celebrate the finale ... so I am kinda living our lineup today.

Last night I had the best reconnect with Amy Sedaris, who I haven't seen in forever. She's been burrowed away working on her craft book, which comes out this fall. She Is one of the funniest, smartest, most creative people you could ever hope to know. We ate outside at Morandi, by the way.

In other news: I am getting used to my iPad, but am still wondering why it can't do certain things I need from it. Maybe I am expecting too much from my iPad and should think of it more like a big phone (that won't make calls). I should shut up and just read the HuffPo on it and leave it there.

I love going to L.A. if only to drive around and listen to satellite radio, and so I am finally getting Sirius Radio this week. Do you have it and what's your favorite station??

Ok I gotta run. Tweet me tonight and let me know what you think of the big shows.

Anti-abortion fight likened to bid to end slavery

The Brisbane arm of a Texas-born anti-abortion group is preparing to spend the 40 days of Lent protesting outside a Bowen Hills abortion clinic, likening their fight to the battle to abolish slavery.

'40 Days for Life' bills itself as the "last line of pro-life defence"; its roster of participants aim to man stations outside clinics on every day of the pre-Easter Christian period of prayer and fasting.

Having originated in the US, the movement staged its first Australian protest in Brisbane in 2009, before expanding around the country. Organisers say they expect record crowds at this year's vigil.

Preparations for the rally come ahead of another annual pro-life rally planned for Brisbane's Queens Park this weekend, which organisers said last year attracted 1000 people.

The Brisbane Lenten vigil will take place outside the Dr Marie Stopes International Bowen Hills clinic on Campbell Street, from February 22 until the first day of April.

Marie Stopes Australia's director of clinical services Jill Michelson assured all clients who may visit the centre during this period they could do so without interference.

“Our patients' privacy and safety is always our primary concern,” Ms Michelson said. “Patients are provided with information on any expected protests prior to their appointment.”

Founder of the 40 Days for Life Australian chapter Brendan Wong rejected the notion the group was fanatical or obstructive, saying the methods were peaceful and focused on prayer.

Mr Wong, a practising Catholic, said more than 300 cities including Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne now participated in the movement, which claims to have prevented 4082 abortions since 2007.

He said he felt compelled to introduce the concept locally after visiting the US in the midst of abortion being hotly debated during the lead-up to the 2008 presidential elections.

The struggle against abortion in Australia was similar to the battle against slavery in the US, Mr Wong said.

“Slavery in the 1900s went from being widely acceptable to being totally unacceptable; we're looking for that kind of change,” Mr Wong said. “It's obviously going to take some time but you have to start somewhere."

It's not the first time US religious groups have come to Queensland ahead of expanding to the rest of the country. brisbanetimes.com.au reported last year about the Exodus group which sought to "heal" homosexuality, which has eight ministries in Australia, five of them in Queensland.

Mr Wong said while protesters did hope to convince women entering the clinic to think twice, the protest was aimed at a larger audience.

“We've had a few women who have turned around [from entering an abortion clinic] but while really we're happy for those wins - we're happy for people to come out and realise the error of their ways - we're also looking for a broader change of people's viewpoints on this,” Mr Wong said.

“We're all about praying that people change their hearts and minds and come to view abortion as more than just another medical procedure.”

But Ms Michelson said it was the belief of Marie Stopes International that women had the right to privately and safely access all medical services without interference from third parties.

“A woman's decision to terminate her pregnancy is a matter for her and her doctor and she should not be subjected to personal intimidation or unsolicited third party opinions and views,” she said.

“It is important to remember that these protesters are often a religiously affiliated, vocal minority who do not represent the majority Australian opinion on women's lawful right to access sexual and reproductive healthcare services including abortion.”

Mr Wong cited the not-guilty verdict issued to Tegan Leach and her partner Sergie Brennan in 2010 in Cairns as proof Queensland's abortion laws were being “conveniently sidestepped”.

The pair were charged with procuring an abortion and supplying drugs to procure an abortion after Ms Leach took the drug RU486, arguing she was not capable of caring for a child.

Under Queensland law, abortion is illegal except to protect the mother's life or her physical or mental wellbeing.

Mr Wong said the spread of the movement throughout Australia was testament to a groundswell in support of its message.

But based on reactions from people passing by the protest in previous years, he conceded Australians were generally “apathetic” toward the issue.

“Most people might give us flack and roll the window done and yell at us, but funnily enough because Australians are so apathetic, 99 per cent of the time you don't get anything,” he said.

“And when you're trying to change hearts and minds, you would actually prefer any response rather than no response.”

Monitor resolution, or 'how can I tell what size image I need to use to fit my monitor?'

While we can't give instructions for every operating system, here's how to determine your monitor resolution in Windows XP and Mac OSX.

Windows XP - right click anywhere on your desktop. A menu will pop up. Choose 'Properties' from the menu. A window with several tabs will pop up. Click on the 'Settings' tab. Look at the numbers under the Screen Resolution slider. That's your current setting.

Mac OSX - click on System Preferences, then Displays, then the Display Tab (should be showing by default). Your current resolution will be highlighted.

Images are set to a gamma of 2.2, which is pretty much industry standard for image display and printing. The only trouble is that Mac monitors generally have a gamma set to 1.8 by default, which means that images MAY appear slightly washed out, or show colours not quite as intended. You can reset your monitor's gamma easily on a Mac. Do a simple search for 'reset gamma Mac' on Google. And in case anyone thinks we're putting Mac users second, let me reassure you that we use both Macs and Windows machines at Britain Express!

    "probably Hans Fritzsche, Franz von Papen and Hjalmar Schact" - yes, these are the three men seen.

    "unidentified defendant" - that's Alfred Rosenberg.

    The paragraph beginning "The accused include......." should be changed to read;

    Hans Frank, Walther Funk, Karl Donitz, Erich Raeder, Baldur von Schirach and Julius Streicher.

Surname distribution maps for Dearnley

There are approximately 154 people named Dearnley in the UK. That makes it the 16,023rd most common surname overall. Out of every million people in the UK, approximately 2 are named Dearnley.

Dearnley in the 1881 Census

Sorry, we don't have any stats for the distribution of Dearnley in the 1881 Census.

Dearnley in the 21st Century

The maps, if available, show both where there are more people named Dearnley and where they are most concentrated.

The distributions are shown by means of coloured dots centred on the various British counties. The dots relate to the county as a whole, not to any specific location within the county.

For the 1881 census, the counties used are those which existed at the time and were recorded on the census data. For the 21st century stats, the traditional or ceremonial counties are used in order to avoid distortions caused by unitary authority cities.

The darker the colour, the more people in that county are named Dearnley.

The larger the dot, the greater the proportion of people in that county are named Dearnley.

Hovering over the dots will give you the individual statistics for that county.
