Today marks the 10th anniversary of my Gamespot account, even though it certainly feels like much longer.
In fact, it has been much longer than ten years. Today actually marks, in an unofficial way, the 10th anniversary of my entry into high speed internet. Before that, using dial up, I used to visit this website on a (much as possible) regular basis, even before it was actually called Gamespot, way back when, through AOL, when it was called VideoGames.com. My actual earliest website memory was looking for a demo of Quake 2 and stumbling into an in depth guide to Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest, from which point, I turned into a regular visitor. I'm awfully sure I had an user account from when accounts were actually implemented to the site, but that has been lost thanks to the numerous moves and email address/computer changes, from which I was never able to remember or find what it was.
There are many things I'm thankful to Gamespot for for these past ten years. Many, if not all of my best friends abroad have come from visiting this site and interacting with the community. When I previously worked at an union called Community Contributions, I met some of my most cherished buddies that I keep contact 'til now and have even met in person a few times, like Austin (MrCHUPON), Al (The_Antipode), Brian (DrFish62), Pete (Ryvvn), among many, many others. From that union, my interest in writing about games grew into what ultimately brought me to an event like E3, a dream of mine for years, and having the chance to meet many of the people whose work I've followed over the years.
It's unfair to list everyone I've come to know through this site since the beginning. Among the staff, I've had the chance to learn a lot, not only about games, but about the culture as well. Some of my fondest (and also most annoying and frankly depressing) moments have come from being called in to help out as a moderator for the website, in 2007. From then on, I've had the chance to take a casual look at tip of the iceberg that is managing such a gigantic community, a daunting task for the staff, which, for the majority of my time contributing, fell to Jody, who among the editorial staff, has always played an integral part in keeping me going with Gamespot over the years.
I couldn't write about the past ten years and not mention interacting with Gamespot's live video shows in between all the reading, arguing and writing. Those are probably my favorite memories of being around and checking the site out, by watching shows like On the Spot, chatting community members up and even somewhat interacting with the staff through questions. An easy smile comes from remembering all the inane babble that came from chatting with friends during those shows, that like the CCU, have endured through friendships that I still hold dear 'til today (you guys know who you are, I hope you are reading this - if not, bah, Dave, shame on you). Some of them have even moved on to be part of this site's staff thanks to their participation!
In contrast, certainly there were moments when I wanted to leave Gamespot behind. The chaos that was Jeff's firing in 2008 was easily the most likely of moments to have dropped this site forever - but I'm glad I didn't. It's amazing that Gamespot was able to pick up the pieces of an otherwise shattered state and have come back to be once again one of the most referenced websites around. I wouldn't dream of thinking I had a pin of an influence in that revival, even though, in many ways, I'm positively amazed to have been around to see it. And even though I'm hardly as active in the main website community as I've once been, I love to dive in sometimes, to check its pulse.
It's hard to imagine keeping active with something for so long, and even more so to imagine if it'll still be going ten years from now. But instead of worrying about where we'll all be so far ahead, I'll enjoy and cherish the memories of where I've been since then. Even the bad ones are worth keeping around in the corner of my mind, as reminders of how I've come to appreciate the best moments even more. Those moments when you give them more than a chance when you're expected to quit them... and are rewarded so much for doing so.
Thanks, Gamespot!
And thanks to everyone I've met on this cheesy, insane, frustrating and utterly amazing journey!

Avigdor Lieberman (Hebrew: אביגדור ליברמן (audio) (help·info), born Evet Lvovich Liberman (Russian: Эве́т Льво́вич Ли́берман)) is a Soviet-born Israeli politician. He is currently Member of the Knesset, Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister of Israel. He is the founder and leader of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, whose electoral base are the immigrants from the former Soviet Union.
Lieberman first entered the Knesset in 1999, and has since served in numerous roles in the government, including as Minister of National Infrastructure, Minister of Transportation, Minister of Strategic Affairs, Deputy Prime Minister, and Foreign Affairs Minister.
Lieberman was born on 5 June 1958 in Kishinev, Soviet Union (now Moldova). His father had served in the Red Army and spent seven years in a Siberian Gulag under Stalin's rule, where he met Evet's mother. After high school, Lieberman applied to study international law at Kiev University, but was, according to an interview, rejected for being Jewish. He then temporarily enrolled at the Chişinău Agriculture Institute with a hydrological land improvement major.

The majority of cradles on the market today rock in a lateral direction, from side-to-side. Lateral swinging stimulates the portion of the brain that perceives circular-motion. For sensitive babies, this type of motion can induce dizziness and discomfort. Learn more
The so-ro cradle provides the type of motion most comfortable for babies. Its front-to-back rocking motion has a soothing effect that helps babies fall asleep. In turn, you may find yourself a calmer, better-rested parent with more energy for everyday things.

Table of Contents
Menu entries
Main window
Project menu
Shows Copyright Information for this program.
Project/About MUI
Shows copyright and version information for MUI .
Project/Check for updates
Fetches information about the newest version of YAM from the YAM homepage. Make sure that you are online before calling this function. YAM then tells you whether there is an update for your version. The button [Visit Homepage] will then start an ARexx script which connects your browser to the YAM homepage.
Project/Show last message
Shows recent error messages.
Project/Show transfers in progress
Forces a "warm start" of YAM. You can use this to login in again using another username , for instance.
This switches the program to iconified mode. The icon will still show the status of those folders for whom the "AppIcon stats" has been activated in the folder settings ; also, the periodic mail check and any ARexx scripts remain active. The appearance of the mailbox icons can be changed, if you want — all you have to do is to put new files new.info, old.info, empty.info and check.info into YAM's /Icons directory.
Exit from YAM.
Folder menu
Folder/New folder…
Creates a new folder and inserts it below the current one. If the folder directory already exists (e.g. a folder of another user), select "Existing directory". To create a new folder you can either use YAM's "Internal defaults" or copy the settings from the current folder ("Like current"). Now a configuration panel opens where you can modify the properties of the new folder.
Folder/New folder group…
Creates a new folder group and inserts it at the end of the folder list. Groups are useful to group your folders in categories, saving also precious state space in your folder list. Folders can also be nested, i.e. you can insert a group into another group.
Opens a configuration panel where you can modify the properties of the current folder. If a group is selected, only its name can be changed here.
Removes the current (user defined) folder, asking for confirmation first. When a group is deleted, its contents simply move one place up in the tree.
Opens the Search window , which allows you to find any particular message.
Applies the user defined filters to all messages in the current folder. Filters are of the form 'On query, take action', the options being defined in the configuration settings.
Folder/Apply Spam filter
Applies the Spam filter to all messages in the current folder.
Folder/Empty trash
Actually deletes the messages in the 'Trash' folder.
Folder/Delete spam from folder
Folder/Update index
Scans the directory for the current folder and builds a new index file. Normally YAM updates the index file automatically, as needed. However it can be useful to force an index update after a crash or in the event of a problem.
Folder/Flush all indices
Removes the indices of the user defined folders, which is helpful if you're low on memory. If you change to one of these folders at a later time, the index will be reloaded from the hard disk.
Allows the import of a mail file created by a different application. The file must be in standard MBOX mailbox format as generated by external mail server client programs like AmiPOP or IMAP clients. Such a file may contain several messages, which are identified by their "From:" and "Date:" headers.
Saves all the messages in the current folder to a single file, so that they can be read by a different e-mail client (see the previous option).
Folder/Send mail
Transmits all messages in the Outgoing mailbox (except for those which are on 'Hold').
Folder/Send and get mail
First fetches new mail from your mail server and then sends the messages in the Outgoing mailbox. This simply combines the actions of 'Get new mail' and 'Send queued mail'.
Folder/Get mail
Attempts to connect to the mail server, checks whether there is new mail waiting and if so downloads it into the 'Incoming' mailbox. If you have specified more than one POP3 account , those marked as "Active" will all be checked in turn.
Folder/Check single account
If you have set up several POP3 accounts, you can use this function to check any single account.
Message menu
Loads the selected message into the Read window .
Message/Edit as new
Allows you to edit a message you have composed earlier.
Moves one or more messages into another folder. You can also do this by dragging the message(s) from the message list into the folder list and dropping them onto the desired destination.
Allows you to duplicate a message. The copy is identical to the original apart from its filename on disk.
Moves one or more messages to the 'Deleted' folder (from which they can be recovered if needed). If you want messages actually to be deleted immediately, check "Remove messages immediately" in the Miscellaneous configuration settings. The <DEL> key works as a keyboard shortcut for this menu item, while <Shift-Del> forces immediate deletion from the hard disk, regardless of the configuration settings.
Sends the readable part (text and headers) of the message(s) to the printer.
Saves the text (and headers) of one or more messages, creating a separate file for each message. Should you want to save all the messages in the folder to a single file in mailbox (MBOX) format, use Folder/Export instead.
Message/Attachments >> Save
Saves the attached files from one or more messages in a directory you select.
Message/Attachments >> Delete
Deletes, without further warning, the MIME attachments from one or more messages, in order to save storage space. A notice about the deleted data is written into any message cropped in this way.
Saves one or more messages to a single file, so that they can be read by a different e-mail client (see also Folder/Import... ).
Opens the Write window , in which you can compose a new message.
Use this to reply to a message which someone has sent to you. Subject and recipient headers are filled in automatically and the original text is quoted. It is also possible to select several messages which will all be quoted in the same reply and sent back to the original senders (Multi-reply).
This lets you send the contents of an e-mail on to another recipient. The subject and the body text are copied across whereas a new message header is created. At the beginning and the end of the quoted text YAM inserts the phrases for forwarding, which you can define in the Reply settings in the configuration. You can also select multiple messages, in which case these are combined into a single forwarded message (Multi-forward).
This lets you send a message on to another recipient, with no visible changes at all. Only the To: field of the header is changed and a couple of Resent: fields are added; the phrases defined for forwarded messages are not used here.
Message/Save address…
The address of the sender of the selected message (or the recipient's, depending on which type of mailbox is open) is added to your address book . If multiple messages are selected or if a message has several recipients, then you get the option of creating a new distribution list.
Message/Select >> All | None | Toggle
Selects all the messages in the current folder, clears any selection or toggles the selection (i.e. exchanges selected and unselected items), respectively.
Message/Set status >> Marked | Unmarked | Read | Unread | Spam | No Spam | | All as Read
This changes the status of one or more messages. Thus you can release held messages in the Outgoing mailbox, mark unread messages as read or manually mark suspicious mails as spam.
Message/Change subject…
This alters the subject of one or more messages, so you can amend irrelevant Subject: fields in messages you have received. To preserve the capability of tracing a thread back, the original subject is saved in the message headers as X-Original-Subject:.
Makes a connection to the mail server and transmits the selected messages. If you want to send all the messages in the Outgoing folder, then it is better to choose Folder/Send queued mail .
Settings menu
Settings/Address book…
Lets you edit the entries in the address book .
Opens the configuration window , in which you can change YAM's settings.
Opens the users window , where you can add new users ("Multi-User").
Opens the settings window for MUI , where you can specify virtually all of the visual features of YAM, including fonts, palette, screen mode, background, borders, gadgets, keyboard shortcuts and so on. Please see the MUI documentation for more information. YAM utilises several MUI classes which were not in the original release of MUI. These MUI modules are:
NListviews: some of the lists in YAM, e.g. the message list
Options: colors, fonts, miscellaneous, scrollbars.
Thebar: icon buttons in the YAM windows.
Options: labels, spacing, fonts.
TextEditor: internal editor as well as message display in the Read window
Options: fonts, colors, cursor, separator, keybindings, spell checker.
NListtree: structured lists: address book, folder list
Options: appearance of lines and group icons.
BetterString: general one-line text input field.
Options: font, palette, cursor.
Scripts menu
Scripts/Execute script…
Lets you select an ARexx script and run it.
Write window
Text menu
Clears any text to start a new message.
Opens an existing text file.
Text/Insert as >> Plain
Inserts a text file at the current cursor position.
Text/Insert as >> Quoted
Inserts a text file at the current cursor position, prefacing each line with the quote character (usually >).
Text/Insert as >> Alternate Quoted
Inserts a text file at the current cursor position, prefacing each line with an alternate quote character (usually |).
Text/Insert as >> ROT13 encoded
Inserts a text file at the current cursor position and replaces each letter with the one 13 characters ahead on the alphabet, cycling back from Z to A (so A→M, B→N, M→A) as appropriate. This very simple code is used for example for indecent humour.
Text/Insert as >> UUencoded text
Text/Launch editor
This lets you compose your message with your favourite editor as specified in the Write configuration. Note that a few functions such as text styles and the Glossary may only be supported correctly in the internal editor. Whenever you save in the external editor, the text in the internal editor is updated, due to the way the operating system interprets the file notification when you save the temporary file.
Text/Save as…
Saves the current message (only the text part, without any header) to a file of your choice.
Text/Send now
Text/Send later
Text/Save as draft
Edit menu
Undoes the last change made in the editor.
Restores the change just undone with 'Edit/Undo'.
Cuts the marked text and saves it to the clipboard.
Places in the clipboard a copy of the marked text.
Inserts the text on the clipboard at the current cursor position.
Edit/Paste as >> Quoted
Inserts the text on the clipboard at the current cursor position, prefacing each line with the quote character (usually >).
Edit/Paste as >> Alternate Quoted
Inserts the text on the clipboard at the current cursor position, prefacing each line with the alternative quote character (usually |).
Edit/Paste as >> ROT13 encoded
Inserts a text file at the current cursor position, applying ROT-13 encoding (see also under Text/Insert as/ROT13 encoded ).
Edit/Select all
Edit/Select none
Edit/Search again
Opens the Glossary window.
YAM's Glossary acts as a place to collect blocks of text which you may use fairly frequently, such as templates for letters, greeting phrases or frequently asked questions. The text can be as long as desired, extending over several lines. Using the Edit/Glossary menu item or the <RAmiga-D> shortcut you can go straight from the internal editor into the glossary. Each entry has a name (e.g. "ys" for "Yours sincerely") which you can see in the left-hand part of the window. Click on the name and you can edit the entry in the right-hand side of the window. A double click on the name pastes the text block at the current cursor position and then closes the window.
Function of the buttons
NewCreates a new entry in the glossary.
Add selectionCreates a new entry in the glossary using the block marked in the text editor. If no block is currently marked, YAM will try to paste the contents of the clipboard.
DeleteDeletes the selected entry from the glossary.
PastePastes the highlighted entry into the text editor, at the current cursor position.
Edit/Textstyle >> Bold
Toggles bold type on or off for a marked block or for text entered subsequently. In the resulting message, text in bold type is delimited by asterisks, thus: bold → *bold*
Edit/Textstyle >> Italic
Toggles italic type on or off for a marked block or for text entered subsequently. In the resulting message, text in italics is delimited by slashes, thus: italic → /italic/
Edit/Textstyle >> Underlined
Toggles underlining on or off for a marked block or for text entered subsequently. In the resulting message, underlined text is delimited by underline characters, thus: underline → _underline_
Edit/Textstyle >> Alternative color
Toggles colored type on or off for a marked block or for text entered subsequently. The color is defined in the Read configuration . In the resulting message, the colored text is delimited by hash signs, thus: color → #color#
Edit/Emoticons >> Happy | Indifferent | Sad/angry | Ironic
Inserts a 'smiley' at the current cursor position. Smilies express your feelings about the topic and compensate for the loss of intonation when expressing yourself in writing rather than speech (see also E-Mail Netiquette ).
Edit/Type and spell
Switches automatic spellchecking on or off. Spellchecking is a function of the Texteditor class and must be configured in Settings/MUI . It must use an external program like AlphaSpell.
If you type in a word which is not in the dictionary, the screen flashes (and you will get an audible signal, too, if you have set this up in your Workbench Sound preferences). Use <Amiga-Help> to get a list of suggestions for the correct spelling.
Edit/Word wrap
Attachments menu
Attachments/Add file…
Equivalent to the [Add file] button in the Attachments sheet.
Attachments/Add clipboard
Adds the contents of the clipboard as an attachment to your message, so you can easily include documents from other applications.
Attachments/Add PGP key
Use this to attach your public PGP key to the message. The recipient can add this to his "keyring" and will then be able to send you messages signed and/or encrypted with PGP.
View menu
View/Cc Address Field
View/Bcc Address Field
View/Reply-to Address Field
Options menu
Options/Delete after sending?
Activate this option if you want the message to be deleted right after being transmitted, instead of being copied to the 'Sent' folder.
Options/Return receipt?
Options/Add personnal information?
Check this option to create a special X-SenderInfo: header containing personal data like your postal address, phone number, homepage, date of birth or URL of your picture. If the recipient works with YAM too, (s)he will be able to create an address book entry and fill it with your data. To get this to work, add an entry in your address book containing your data (YAM will find your entry based on the email address). If one exists, enter the WWW address of a small photo of yourself in the "address book" section of the configuration.
Options/Importance >> High | Normal | Low
Specify here how important the message is for the recipient. Messages noted as important will usually be displayed with an exclamation mark in the status line and put into first place by automatic mail sorting. The level of importance is stored in the Importance: header.
Options/Signature >> No signature
Here you can replace the standard signature by one of the alternative signatures, or switch it off completely for this message.
Options/Security >> None | Sign | Encrypt | Sign and encrypt | Default
Select here which security measures you want to take for this message.
none: Normal mail transfer.
sign: The message will be signed with your PGP public key and saved in multipart/signed format. The text of the message will be readable without PGP.
encrypt: The message will be encrypted using the recipient's PGP key and saved in multipart/encrypted format.
sign and encrypt: This is a combination of the two previous options, allowing the recipient to check the sender's identity.
default: The mail will use whatever security measures have been selected for this recipient in the address book, or "none" if this recipient cannot be found there.
Further information about PGP and security issues can be found in the PGP and Configuration/Security chapters.
Options/Fixed font?
Options/Text colors?
Options/Text styles?
Read window
Message menu
Message/Edit as new…
Sends the current message to the message editor. This option is only available for "Outgoing mail"-like folders.
Moves the current message to a different folder.
Creates a copy of the current message. With the exception of the filename, the copy is identical to the original.
Deletes the current message and loads the next one into the Read window. Unless the option Remove messages immediately is enabled in the Miscellaneous configuration settings, the message is actually moved into the Deleted folder, from which it can be recovered if needed. The <Del> key works as a convenient keyboard shortcut, while <Shift-Del> forces an immediate (irreversible) deletion, no matter which configuration settings are in use.
Sends the current message, or a part of it, to the printer. A requester opens to let you choose whether to print the original message without decoding (raw format), print the decoded text as diplayed, or print an attached text file. Note that you cannot print binary data such as graphics; for that purpose you must use the relevant print option in the appropriate MIME viewer .
Saves the current message or a part of it to your hard disk, floppy, etc. Again a requester appears to let you choose whether to save the message in raw format, the decoded message (as it appears in the Read window), or to save one of the attached files.
Message/Attachments >> Display…
Displays the current message or part of it using the MIME viewer selected in the MIME configuration . You can choose whether to display the message in raw format (to check for errors) or to view one of the attached files. If nothing happens, check the settings for MIME viewers in the configuration.
Message/Attachments >> Save all…
Saves all the files attached to the current message to the directory you select.
Message/Attachments >> Crop
Deletes all the attached files for the current message in order to save disk space. BEWARE: these files are not sent to the Deleted folder, so be sure that you don't want to keep any of them! This function only applies to messages in MIME format . A notice is added to the end of the message about the removed files.
Opens the Write window so you can compose a new message.
Use this to reply to the current message. Subject and recipient fields are filled in automatically and the original message is quoted, unless the Reply configuration settings say otherwise.
Message/Forward… >> As attachment | Inlined
Use this to forward the contents of the message to another recipient. The subject and the message body are automatically copied and a new message header is created. The text for forwarding defined in the Reply configuration is inserted in the message.
Use this to send the original, unaltered message to another recipient. The only changes made are to enter a new To: header while YAM adds a couple of Resent: headers based on the original "To:" header. The text for forwarded messages (as defined in the configuration) is not used here.
Message/search again
Message/Save address…
The address of the sender (or the recipient, depending on the type of folder) of the current message is added to your address book . If the message has multiple recipients, you have the option of creating a new distribution list.
Message/Set status
Lets you change the status of the current message to >> Marked | Unmarked | Read | Unread | Spam | No Spam
Message/Change subject…
This lets you change the subject of the current message, so you can amend uninformative "Subject:" headers on some messages you have received. The original subject is saved in a X-Original-Subject: header, to facilitate following a thread back.
Navigation menu
Navigation/Next message
This displays the next message, i.e. the one below the current message in the main window. Shortcut: <cursor right>
Navigation/Previous message
This displays the previous message, i.e. the one above the current message in the main window. Shortcut: <cursor left>
Navigation/Next unread message
This displays the next unread message below the current message in the main window. If there are no more unread messages below the current message in the current folder but there is some in one of the following folders, you will be notified about it and asked if you want to jump to that folder and continue reading there. Shortcut: <Shift-cursor right>
Navigation/Previous unread message
This displays the previous unread message above the current message in the main window. If there are no more unread messages above the current message in the current folder but there is some in one of the previous folders, you will be notified about it and asked if you want to jump to that folder and continue reading there. Shortcut: <Shift-cursor left>
Navigation/Next message in thread
This displays the message which replies to the current message. This allows you to e.g. follow a dialogue between yourself and another person, regardless of what other messages are there. However, please note that to find the reply in a different folder, YAM must load the index files for all the folders, and this can take a while. YAM compares the Message-ID header of the current message with the In-Reply-To: header of the other messages. If no answer can be found, the screen will flash briefly.
Navigation/Previous message in thread
Loads the message to which the current message is replying (see the item above).
PGP menu
PGP/Extract public key(s)
If the sender of the current message has attached his public PGP key , you can copy this to your "key ring". You can then use this if this person sends you any encrypted message.
PGP/Check PGP signature
Verifies the signature of the current message. This works only with PGP signed messages and serves to ensure that the message has not been tampered with and is really from the sender it claims to be.
PGP/Save decrypted message
On the grounds of security, a PGP encrypted message is saved to the hard disk as it stands. To open it, you have to use the key each time.
You can use this menu item to save the decrypted message to the hard disk, overwriting its PGP encrypted counterpart.
Settings menu
These choices only apply to the current session; when you open a new Read window, the Read configuration settings are used.
Settings/No headers | Short headers | Full headers
Use these to select how much header information you want to see in the Read window.
Settings/No sender info | Data fields only | Data and image | Image only
This selects how much of the information saved in your address book about the sender is to be displayed.
Settings/Wrap headers
Choose whether to show a long header on one line or to break it across two or more. In the former case you will need to use the horizontal scrollbar in order to see all the information.
Settings/Fixed font?
Settings/Text colors?
Settings/Text styles?
YAM will use the characters '_', '/', '*' and '#' to render underlined, italic, bold and colored text respectively. For certain documents, such as source code, this can complicate things as some characters will be suppressed. Thus, you have the choice of temporarily switch the rendering of text styles on or off.
Address book
Address book menu
Address book/New
Starts a new address book; all existing entries of the address book currently resident in RAM will be deleted. CAUTION: Save your old address book with another name before selecting this option!!
Address book/Open…
Opens an existing address book from your hard disk. The address book currently resident in RAM will be replaced.
If you try opening a file that does not seem to be a valid YAM address book, you will be offered the chance to load it as a list of email addresses, with one address per line. Items can be specified as
<email@…> Real name

Moustakas, Royals rally past Rays
Kansas City, MO – Mike Moustakas drove in three runs during a late-game offensive surge and James Shields overcame a shaky first inning to get the win against his former club, as the Kansas City Royals beat the Tampa Bay Rays, 8-2, in the opener of a three-game series at Kauffman Stadium.
Moustakas highlighted a four-run sixth inning with his first homer of the season and sparked a three-run seventh with a sacrifice fly.
Lorenzo Cain, Salvador Perez and Jeff Francoeur each had two hits and knocked in a run for the Royals, who snapped a two-game losing skid and have won four of six overall.
Dealt by the Rays to the Royals in December, Shields (2-2) tossed seven innings and retired the final 13 batters he faced. He gave up a two-run homer to Matt Joyce in the opening frame before settling down to allow just two hits over his final six innings.
"It was a lot of fun facing that team. There's a lot of good memories over there," Shields said.
Kansas City was held off the board through the first 5 2/3 innings by Tampa Bay starter Alex Cobb (3-2).
The Royals mustered only four hits -- all singles -- against Cobb before stringing together six straight two-out hits to chase the right-hander.
Eric Hosmer doubled and scored on a base hit by Cain. Moustakas followed with a drive over the right-field wall to put Kansas City up 3-2. Perez then singled home Francoeur, who had doubled.
After Elliot Johnson singled, Jamey Wright retired Alex Gordon on a grounder to second.
The Royals loaded the bases in the seventh and Moustakas plated Alcides Escobar with a fly ball to right. Cain then stole second and an errant throw by catcher Jose Molina allowed Hosmer to score. Francoeur made it 7-2 with a triple to right.
Billy Butler added a sac fly in the eighth for Kansas City's final run.
Desmond Jennings singled to begin the game and Joyce followed with a blast to right-center field. Evan Longoria then drew a one-out walk and James Loney doubled, but Shields, who pitched for Tampa Bay from 2006-12, fanned both Yunel Escobar and Luke Scott to avoid further damage.
"He's very good, he's young and he's a great competitor," Rays manager Joe Maddon said of Shields. "He's going to pitch very well here."
Game Notes
Shields is the Rays' all-time leaders in wins (87), games started (217), innings pitched (1,454 2/3) and strikeouts (1,250) ... The Rays tied the team record for consecutive games with a homer at 15 ... Loney had three of Tampa Bay's eight hits ... The Rays activated Scott from the 15-day disabled list prior to the game, and he made his season debut Tuesday, going 0-for-4, after being sidelined with a right calf strain. To make room for Scott on the roster, the club designated outfielder Shelley Duncan for assignment.

Rabbi Shay Schachter, assistant rabbi at the Rockaways' "White Shul" told me about the dire straits his community was in in the first nine days after the storm struck. FEMA only arrived the following Tuesday after the storm and initially had to rely on local relief groups like the Long Island JCC for information. Rabbi Schachter had been running groups of local students and volunteers into three 17-story buildings in his community, filled largely with poor and elderly residents. He told me that when they first arrived five days after the storm bringing food and water to residents "[they] looked at us like they haven't seen food in five years." Schachter was asked by many residents about how they could receive medical attention, medication and access to dialysis machines while trapped in their highrise apartments without working elevators. Before FEMA took over the building's care a full ten days after the storm hit, one FEMA official told Schachter that he was certain they would find dead bodies inside, as elderly residents inside had no heat, food, or medical care.
After the storm, before the election, the only public discussion regarding FEMA centered around Mitt Romney's statements during a GOP primary debate, which were misinterpreted and misrepresented to suggest he wanted to abolish FEMA. Romney came under fire for the remarks and unfortunately, as Jonathan pointed out the day before the election, little political attention has been paid to FEMA's undeniably slow response to Sandy. The logic of Romney's suggestion that FEMA cannot (and has not in the past) promptly offer relief to victims of natural and man-made disasters in the U.S. has yet to be discussed in the media or by government officials. More than two weeks after the storm, the situation is growing increasingly dire for residents of the Rockaways as temperatures plummet.

For sexual activity to be all right, it must be consensual, which means that both people want it to happen. Sexual assault is when any person forces you to participate in a sexual act when you don't want to. This can include touching or penetrating the vagina, mouth, or anus of the victim (often called rape); touching the penis of the victim; or forcing the victim to touch the attacker's vagina, penis, or anus. Touching can mean with a hand, finger, mouth, penis, or just about anything else, including objects.
It doesn't always take physical force to sexually assault a victim. Attackers can use threats or intimidation to make a victim feel afraid or unable to refuse them. It is also sexual assault if the victim is drunk, drugged, unconscious, or too young (ages of consent differ from state to state) or mentally disabled to be legally able to agree to sexual contact.
Most victims are assaulted by someone they know: a friend, date, acquaintance, or boyfriend or girlfriend. Dating or being sexually involved with someone does not give that person the right to force you to have sexual contact you don't want. Even if you have had sex before, you have the right to say "NO" at any time. You are also allowed to change your mind at any time. Being sexually assaulted is never your fault.
Most perpetrators of sexual assault are male, whether the victim is female or male. Victims can be males or females of any age, race, social class, appearance, or sexual orientation. The majority of sexual assault victims are women and girls, but many men and boys are sexually assaulted, too.
Sometimes people will use manipulation to get someone to give into sex. They might say things such as "If you really loved me, you'd do it" or "I'm going to tell everyone we did it anyway, so you might as well." This kind of behavior can be hurtful, although it often doesn't meet the legal definition of sexual assault, and is a sign of a controlling or emotionally abusive partner. The same is true of a partner who won't (or won't let you) use birth control when you want to. People who experience this kind of behavior can have similar reactions to people who have been sexually assaulted. If this is happening to you, consider seeking help.
Being a victim of sexual assault is not your fault. Nothing in what you say, the way you look, where you are, or who you are with gives anyone else the right to hurt you. It does not matter if you are dating or have ever been intimate with the person who sexually assaulted you; it does not give that person the right to force you to participate in sexual acts if you don't want to, even if you have had sexual activity of any sort with them in the past. It's still wrong.
If you know someone who has been the victim of sexual assault, you can help.

Today I'm really thankful for our home.
A couple of years ago, Em gave us a plaque that says "Our House Is Just a Little House, but God Knows Where We Live." Actually, we have quite a large home--larger than I want, really. But the sentiment is the same. Ours is a simple, humble home. I'm not a huge decorator (much to Ashtyn's chagrin), but we have some nice things. There is much work that needs to be done on our home (always!), but it is a good house. It is well-built. It is more than sufficient for our needs. And love is spoken here.
The times that I appreciate our home the most are during extreme weather. This morning we awoke to a beautiful marshmallow world. It was FREEZING outside. But the snow was on the individual tree limbs and the sun was peeking through the pink-tinged clouds. And THEN I got to work and found that some of the Christmas lights on the Plaza were on this morning. Glorious!
But it was freezing. Our heat kicked on automatically. There was hot water in the tank, all ready for our showers. The wind blew outside, but not inside.
I love home!

EXETER — It didn't take long to see that the Portsmouth High School hockey team was out of its league in its league opener Wednesday night.
The short-handed Clippers opened Division III play with an 8-2 loss to John Stark/Hopkinton at The Rinks. The score was 4-0 after one period and, though the mistakes were minimized and overall play improved after that, there was no question it was an uphill struggle.
"My big concern off the bat was if we didn't get out with a couple goals early we were going to lose some steam," said Portsmouth coach Al Brandano, "and that's what happened."
Junior Aaron Rancourt and freshman Luke Lacroce scored goals for the Clippers, who were outshot by a 46-16 margin on a night they were missing four players. Goalie Brady Marchewka made 38 saves.
Both squads were .500 clubs a year ago, with the Clippers reaching the playoffs and Stark gong a step further, to the quarterfinals. But with just one senior — captain and defenseman Brodie Sandquist — Brandano knows this is a work in progress. He sent out a first line with two freshmen — Lacroce and Jack Alden.
John Stark, meanwhile, got hat tricks from sophomore Robbie Ferguson and freshman Jacob Blanchette to settle matters early.
"We have a veteran team back," said first-year coach Denis Kolehmainen, a winner in his debut. "We only lost three seniors and we have seven seniors this year. We have a pretty well-balanced team, top to bottom."
Marchewka had a few shining moments early. He stopped one breakaway and a pair of 2-on-1s in the opening six minutes, and his team trailed just 1-0 at that point.
But Ferguson netted his second seven minutes in, after the Clippers had trouble getting the puck out of the zone. Blanchette made it 3-0 two minutes later when an errant clearing pass found his stick in front, and Ferguson completed his hat trick with a close-in backhand at 12:38.
Shots in the period favored Stark by a 21-2 count.
"We were considering going to a trap," said Brandano, "but we believe we need to push them. We need them to find out who they are."
The second period was his team's best. Rancourt got his team on the board at 5:06, taking a long clearing pass from Alden, beating a defender at the blue line and then going top-shelf with a wrister from the high slot.
"We didn't come out with the same intensity," said Kolehmainen. "They popped that first goal in on us and it put us on our heels."
The Clippers generated a few other chances, mostly on the lone power play they were awarded midway through. They nearly escaped the frame at 4-1 but another defensive misplay set up Callahan Loos to make it 5-1 with a little over two minutes to play.
In the third period, back-to-back penalties on Marchewka and Rancourt handed the Generals a 5-on-3, and they wasted no time cashing in on that or the 5-on-4 that followed.
The Clippers' next game is Saturday at Laconia-Winnisquam, and they'll try to take the lessons learned Wednesday and turn them into something positive.
"We knew going into this we had a lot to see," said Brandano. "We'll make the adjustments based on what we learned tonight."

Acer may be the first manufacturer out of the gate with a Google Chrome OS netbook in the second half of next year, according to the latest Internet rumors. JT Wang, the computer manufacturer's chairman recently told DigiTimes that he was confident his company would be "the first vendor to launch [a] Chrome-based netbook" by next year.
Acer's interest in bringing a Chrome-based network to market quickly isn't surprising, given that Acer also wanted to be the first manufacturer to bring a Google Android netbook to market.
No Surprise
Google was clear when it first announced Chrome OS earlier this year that netbooks running the Web-centric operating system would be available in the last six months of 2010. But the report by DigiTimes show how bullish computer manufacturers might be about Chrome OS. Acer has been developing its Chrome OS netbook since mid-2009, according to unnamed industry sources who spoke with DigiTimes, which would have been several months before the company launched its dual-boot Windows XP/Google Android netbook in October.
That dual-boot netbook has not fared especially well, though. DigiTimes reports that demand for the machine has not been as "strong as expected." And, in his review of Acer's dual-boot machine--the Acer Aspire One D250-1613--PC World's Darren Gladstone was ambivalent about the device, and said it was "an update away from a better recommendation."
Regardless of the D250's fate, Acer may be confident that a Chrome OS device would fare better than its Android counterpart. The DigiTimes report didn't mention whether Acer would use Chrome OS in a dual-boot device, but given Google's focus on producing simplified devices running a Web-centric operating system that seems doubtful.
Acer is not the only company interested in producing Google Chrome OS devices. Google says it is working with several manufacturers in addition to Acer including Asus, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Qualcomm, and Toshiba. So far no launch dates or product specifications for any Google Chrome OS netbooks have been announced.
Get Chromium OS Now
Of course, you don't have to wait six months or more to run Google Chrome OS on a netbook. Several developers have already created builds based on Chromium OS--the open source version of what will become Chrome OS. PC World has a guide to help you get Chrome OS on a bootable USB key or you can use a version built specifically for the Dell mini10v.
The downside of these resources is that you're dependable on homebrew developers for any system updates. Actual Chrome OS devices, on the other hand, will update automatically in the background. But if you're dying to try out Chrome OS, and don't mind a little experimentation, then there's no reason to wait for Asus, HP, or any other company to bring Chrome OS products to market.

Superfetch. It was pushing 300MB as of a few minutes ago.
I think I've got it: Sandboxie allows data to pass out of sandboxes via folder junctions, so:
1) copy Steam/steamapps to [D:]
2) sandbox Steam install on [C:]
3) junction the sandboxed steamapps folder with the real one on [D:]
that way the Steam client itself runs off the SSD, only takes up ~140mb, doesn't make any changes to Windows, and forwards all updates to the big mama game folder on HDD [D:]
You don't HAVE to install Steam on C: in the first place.
Just move the folder Steamapps outside Steam so you won't have to download the content again.
Uninstall Steam
Install Steam on another drive
Move Steamapps folder inside the new install folder.
In the worst case, you're just going to have to go to each game in the library, right click on it , Properties, and click there the "verify integrity".
The only thing that Steam is going to install in Windows is probably some libraries used by the internal browser (it uses a stripped down Safari browser engine to show the content inside itself)
If you want to be sure, you can check using Process Explorer from SysInternals Suite - you can find it on Microsoft's site.
If Windows is on C:, then yes you do.
I understand you can host the files on a different drive, but once it makes registry entries, it begins the slow and painful process of win rot.
Better to use portable apps where possible, and sandbox the rest.
How did I install Steam on K: on my computer then ? My whole C: partition is 230 GB and my Steam folder is about 182 GB... it would be crazy to install Steam on C: in the first place.
Surely it must be possible to install it on any drive. If not....
Copy the Steam folder into another partition...
Start the registry editor by typing regedit in Run/Search and pressing Ctrl+Shift+ Enter (to start it in elevated mode/admin rights). If you don't use Ctrl+Shift+Enter, you might find the keys read only and you may not be able to edit them.
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam
Edit SteamExe and SteamPath to point to where steam.exe is on the new drive and where the Steam folder is (keep the / in the paths) ... also change the ModInstallPath and SourceInstallPath
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run
Find Steam in the list, change it to the new path. The value is "K:\Steam\steam.exe" -silent on my computer. This will only be here if you've configured Steam to automatically start when you log in.
Restart the computer, and Steam should start from the new drive and run everything from the new drive. If you want to make sure, rename Steam in Program files to Steam2 and see if everything still runs. It will run.
If there's something wrong, revert the changes back to the original ones and reboot and everything will work as before.
You're missing the point.
You may be moving the files that Steam uses to run onto another drive, but Windows makes sense of the installation through the registry... where is the registry again?
But the main point is not to make sure that nothing gets written to C:. Rather, the point is that when programs make changes to the registry, it mucks up Windows. The effect is cumulative when lots of keys are being entered and changes made, and in general, I agree that Steam itself is not as bad, say, as Norton or AIM, but I do think it's an offender.
It seems that you have this stubborn idea in your head that steam is responsible for screwing Windows
Steam actually behaves quite well as far as the Registry is concerned. Esspecially compared to others, where M$ itself is its worst offender. Steam installs, writes stuff in registry and thats it, it doesn't rewrite in registry ever 5 minutes.
Yes, portable apps (eg ccleaner, and others) are a lot better; i would even argue that batch-files are even better; but it is what it is... and as i said, there are far worse offenders.
I would not worry toomuch about what steam does in the registry; what it does to (video)memorywith its overlay is far , far worse.
As for registry,... there are tools for cleaning/maintaining the registry.
As for steam, it has been pointed out that you can install it anywhere, preferably on another drive.
However, since you have SSD, this nifty little app "steam mover" allows you to put individual games onto your C: drive.
In most cases that is not needed, but there are a few games **cough**rage**cough** that benefit from launching off an SSD.
As for Virtualisation.... Win7 comes with XP emulation (M$ VirtualPC) out of the box for Pro/Enterprise/Ultimate. But you could install Virtual PC and make your own XP image in it.
Unfortunately.. VPC emulates an SVGA (S3 Trio) card... which is not exactly well suited to play anything more complex as solitare.
There are other VM emulators, but the ones that can actually use the underlaying GPU to its fullest are rare, and not free.
Now, if you want a "clean" Windows... just install a 2nd copy , either on the same partition, or second partition, or on your "D:\" drive... and dual boot
Reality is futile; you will be assimilated by (your) perception.

Earliest Art Shows "Cavemen" SkillDec. 22, 2003 — Three tiny figurines carved out of mammoth ivory unearthed in a cave in southwestern Germany demonstrate that early humans were far from primitive in their artistic skills.
The find at Hohle Fels cave in the Swabian Jura, southwestern Germany, have been carbon-dated to at least 30,000 years old, placing them in the era when anatomically modern humans and Neanderthals lived alongside each other.
None longer than five centimeters (two inches) across, the carvings comprise a duck-like bird; an animal that resembles a horse; and a half-human, half-animal creature that appears to have the body of a man and possibly the face of a lion.
They join 17 other sculptures, including a fragment of a sophisticated musical pipe made from swan bone, that have been found at three nearby sites, Vogelherd, Geissenkloesterle and Hohlenstein-Stadel, all in the Ach and Lone Valleys southwest of Ulm.
These works "belong to one of the oldest traditions of figurative art known worldwide and point to the Upper Danube as an important center of cultural innovation during the early Upper Palaeolithic period," said Tuebingen University archaeologist Nicholas Conard, who made the find.
The carvings have been dated to the so-called Aurignacian period, through analysis of carbon isotopes in the stratum of soil in which they were deposited.
The collection of 20 Swabian Jura carvings is "the oldest body of figurative art in the world," said British archaeologist Anthony Sinclair, whose commentary in the London-based science journal Nature is published on Thursday alongside Conard's research.
"The unknown hand that carved them displayed astonishing technical skills. That debunks the notion, set down in the 19th century, that cave dwellers began as primitive wall-daubers and then bit by bit acquired better artistic talents and a wider range of tools and materials.
"The study of early art has been plagued by our desire to see this essentially human skill in a progressive evolutionary context," said Sinclair.
"Yet for many outlets of artistic expression — cave paintings, textiles, ceramics and musical instruments — the evidence increasingly refuses to fit. Instead of a gradual evolution of skills, the first modern humans in Europe were in fact astonishingly precocious artists."
In October 2001, French researchers estimated that spectacular charcoal wall drawings found in underground chambers in the Ardeche region depicting horses, rhinoceros and a deer, were between 29,700 and 32,400 years old.
Arguably the most famous cave paintings in the world are the Lascaux caves in southwestern France, which are around 17,000 years old. But the dating of the paintings in the Chauvet caves in the Ardeche shows that early European cavedwellers were just as skilled at art as the humans who followed 13,000 years later, according to the 2001 study.
The oldest known objects considered to be art are far older than the cave paintings or the Swabian figurines, however, and they precede the rise of anatomically modern humans, Homo sapiens.
A tiny stone carving found in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights in 1981 is estimated at 233,000 years old. And pigments and paint-grinding equipment found in a cave in 2000 at Twin Rivers, near Lusaka, Zambia, are believed to be between 350,000 and 400,000 years old. ..Source Discovery.com
For some 1800 years, beginning abruptly about 3000 BC, some industrious peoples mined ore equivalent to 500,000 tons of copper from Michigan's Isle Royale and Keweenaw Peninsula. Who were these mysterious miners, and what happened to all all that copper?
It certainly hasn't been found in the relics of North American Indians. And where was the ore smelted? About all the unidentified miners left behind are some of the crude tools they used to pound out chunks of ore from their pit mines (5000 pit mines on Isle Royale alone).
Outside of some cairns and slabrock ruins, there is little to help pin down these miners. Mainstream archeologists attribute all these immense labors to a North American "Copper Culture" -- certainly not to copper-hungry visitors from foreign shores.
Admittedly, many copper artifacts have been dug up from North American mounds, but only a tiny fraction of the metal the Michigan mines must have yielded.
Curiously, North American Indian mounds have contained copper sheets made in the shape of an animal hide. Called "reels," their function, if any, is unknown. The reels do, however, resemble oddly shaped copper ingots common in European Bronze Age commerce. Their peculiar shape earned these ingots the name "oxhydes."
They have been found in Bronze Age shipwrecks, and are even said to be portrayed in wall paintings in Egyptian tombs. The standardized hide-like shape, with its four convenient handles, was useful in carrying and stacking the heavy ingots. Could the reels from the North American mounds have been copied from the oxhydes? It is tempting to speculate (as we are wont to do) that the Copper Culture miners were actually Europeans, or perhaps Native Americans employed or enslaved by Europeans -- an omen of future, more devastating invasions!
(Sodders, Betty; "Who Mined American Copper 5,000 Years Ago?" Ancient American, 1:28, September/October 1993.)
In the following story, what we find interesting is the continuing theme that "ancient man" was sophisticated -and in ways that continue to surprise materialists-but shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who believes that we were never ape-men but that we are descendants of Adam who lived thousands-not millions of years ago.
Oldest Star Chart Found
By Dr David Whitehouse
BBC News Online science editor
The oldest image of a star pattern, that of the famous constellation of Orion, has been recognised on an ivory tablet some 32,500 years old.
The tiny sliver of mammoth tusk contains a carving of a man-like figure with arms and legs outstretched in the same pose as the stars of Orion.
The claim is made by Dr Michael Rappenglueck, formerly of the University of Munich, who is already renowned for his pioneering work locating star charts painted on the walls of prehistoric caves.
The tablet also contains mysterious notches, carved on its sides and on its back. These could be a primitive "pregnancy calendar", designed to estimate when a pregnant woman will give birth.Man-like figure
It was found in 1979 in a cave in the Ach Valley in the Alb-Danube region of Germany. Carbon dating of bone ash deposits found next to the tablet suggest it is between 32,500 and 38,000 years old, making it one of the oldest representations of a man ever found.
It was left behind by the mysterious Aurignacian people about whom we know next to nothing save that they moved into Europe from the east supplanting the indigenous Neanderthals.
The ivory tablet is small, measuring only 38 x 14 x 4 millimetres, but from the notches carved into its edges archaeologists believe that it was made that size and is not a fragment of something bigger.
On one side of the tablet is the man-like being with his legs apart and arms raised. Between his legs hangs what could be a sword and his waist is narrow. His left leg is shorter than his right one.
Rappenglueck has found other evidence
From what is speculated about the myths of these ancient peoples before the dawn of history, archaeologists have suggested that the man-like figure could be praying or dancing, or be a half-man, half-cat, or a divine being.
But Michael Rappenglueck thinks it is a drawing of the constellation of Orion that is nowadays, and was perhaps also 32,000 years ago, called the hunter.
The proportions of the man correspond to the pattern of stars that comprise Orion, especially its slim waist - which corresponds to its famous belt of three stars and the left "leg" of the constellation being shorter.
The "sword" on the ivory tablet also corresponds to a famous and well-know feature that can be seen in Orion.
There are also other indications that Dr Rappenglueck may be correct.
The stars were in slightly different positions 32,000 years ago because they are moving across the sky at different speeds and in different directions, a phenomenon called "proper motion".
Dr Rappenglueck allowed for this effect by using a computer program to wind back the sky and found evidence for a particular star in Orion that was in a different place all those years ago.Human gestation period
The tablet may also be a pregnancy calendar. There are 86 notches on the tablet, a number that has two special meanings.
First, it is the number of days that must be subtracted from a year to equal the average number of days of a human gestation. This is no coincidence, says Dr Rappenglueck.
It is also the number of days that one of Orion's two prominent stars, Betelguese, is visible. To ancient man, this might have linked human fertility with the gods in the sky.
Orion is one of the most striking constellations. The Ancient Egyptians identified it with their god Osiris and it has a special significance for many cultures throughout history throughout the world.

|The Dogs, Edinburgh
For the last few years, myself and Nicola have always taken a little city break in Edinburgh between Christmas & New Year, and this year was no different. So whilst the Capital was getting ready for its Hogmanay celebrations, we were making the trip along the M8 in readiness for two days of shopping, eating and drinking.
Visitors to Edinburgh are spoilt for choice when it comes to eating out. Outside of London, Edinburgh has the highest number of Michelin starred restaurants in the UK, while the usual suspect chain restaurants are well also well represented. However the thing that makes Edinburgh a great place to eat out is the huge number of independent bars, restaurants, delis and bistros that are all within walking distance of the main shopping areas.
The December issue of Olive Magazine had highlighted The Dogs on Hanover street as somewhere worth checking out, and as it was just round the corner from our hotel, we decided to head there for lunch.
After checking into our hotel, we took the short walk to The Dogs and began climbing the almost endless flight of stairs, passing photographs and statues of various dogs along the way, to be welcomed by a cheery member of staff asking if we had a reservation. I hadn't thought to book, and considering the fact that we had arrived about half pat twelve on one of the busiest days of the year, maybe I was being optimistic that we would get in, however we were quickly shown to a table and advised that there would be a short delay in our food order being taken. Over the next couple of minutes the restaurant quickly filled and I'm sure that had we arrived much later, we probably wouldn't have been so lucky.
The interior of The Dogs is simply furnished and decorated, while the menu is a simple A5 printed list of the traditional food available on the day. Whilst the surroundings give the impression of a 'no-frills' dining experience, when the food arrived at the table, our perceptions were immediately changed.
|Devilled liver & bacon
My own lunch of Devilled Ox Liver, was one of the tastiest meals that I have ever eaten. Huge chunks of medium cooked liver, smoked bacon, sauteed onions & mushrooms, on a thick slice of toast, in a rich gravy that packed a spicy kick. My taste buds were dancing with every forkful!
|Haggis, black pudding & bacon hash with fried duck egg
Nicola had ordered the Haggis, black pudding & bacon hash, which came with a fried duck egg on top. Again, this plate of food was an explosion of flavour. The black pudding was spicy, the haggis and crisp bacon added great texture and the rich duck egg pulled everything together.
We loved the fact that neither dishes need any seasoning, which is saying something these days. However the thing that we loved most the portion sizes served on the day menu. At lunchtime, I don't want a full plated meal, and on a cold winter day I don't want a sandwich, so in my opinion The Dogs have got it just right on how much to serve up at lunchtime.
Our lunch cost less than £20, including a glass of wine each, and tap water was served without asking. The service was efficient, especially as the restaurant was almost full. Rest assured that the next time we are in Edinburgh I will be sure to book a table as I would be disappointed not to go to The Dogs again.

Corbin, Diamondbacks fall to Mets, lose 5th in row
Almost a month now, and still no wins for Arizona starters.
The Diamondbacks' curious drought continued Tuesday night. Patrick Corbin absorbed his first loss and the New York Mets broke away 9-1, sending the NL West leaders to their season-worst fifth straight defeat.
"We're not really clicking on anything right now," Corbin said.
Arizona's starting pitchers are 0-11 in 24 games since June 5. Corbin seemed ready to end the streak, allowing only one runner until Anthony Recker homered with two outs in the fifth inning.
"He was cruising along," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said.
Josh Satin hit an RBI double that put the Mets ahead 2-1 in a seven-run seventh that lasted about 2 hours, albeit with a rain delay of 1 hour, 41 minutes in the middle.
When Arizona retook the field, there was another halt - the grounds crew hadn't redrawn the batter's boxes or put a rosin bag on the mound. Corbin (9-1) was pulled when play resumed and the Mets broke it open against the bullpen, with Omar Quintanilla hitting a two-run single and Eric Young Jr. lining a two-run double.
"The inning got away from us," Gibson said.
Jeremy Hefner (3-6) outpitched Corbin as Arizona fell to 1-7 on its road trip after two straight losses to begin this four-game visit to Citi Field.
"Everybody's trying," Gibson said. "Probably a little bit frustrated with what's going on."
Martin Prado homered off Hefner in the seventh, tying it at 1. Prado was the only hitter on the Arizona roster who had previously faced Hefner.
Corbin was trying to become the first lefty starter in the majors to begin a season 10-0 since Ron Guidry opened 13-0 for the New York Yankees in 1978.
The 23-year-old Corbin left with the bases loaded and no outs when play was delayed. All three runners scored, and he was charged with a season-high five runs. He was denied in a sixth try for his 10th win of the season.
"I felt fine," he said. "Left some balls up."
It was 1-all when David Wright singled to start the Mets' seventh. With the rain starting to get heavier, Marlon Byrd doubled and Satin followed with his go-ahead hit.
Corbin said the conditions were OK, aside from a puddle that formed in front of home plate.
"I didn't think it was too bad. The mound was fine," he said.
Corbin had a chance to help himself early. After the Mets intentionally walked Didi Gregorius with two outs to load the bases in the second, Corbin struck out.
NOTES: Arizona OF Gerardo Parra was out of the lineup, a night after jarring himself trying to make a diving catch on the warning track. Parra's arm was bandaged and he had scrapes on his face. Gibson said Parra had been due for a day off. ... Heath Bell was set to close for the Diamondbacks. J.J. Putz, who blew a save chance Monday night in his first try since going on the DL in May, will work in middle relief for now, Gibson said. ... This was the first time in franchise history the Mets beat a starting pitcher who began a game at 9-0 or better.

So this morning - I woke up early at 5! I stretched…. I turned on the computer (I work from home so figured I start out the day and run through some emails)….., I went out the kitchen and turned on the coffee pot……
Sounds like a nice leisurely start to the day right? So far....
So then I went the fridge to get my creamer for my cup of coffee and perused the calendar to see what might be on tap for the day......ACKKKK!!
Then saw that my 2nd grader had to bring treats for the class
Crap I totally forgot & didn't make anything. Usually we do it the night before TOGETHER - since the treats are not for me (they are for them so I think they should play a part in putting it together - plus its FUN - usually!)
So off to the pantry I went to see if there was anything I could use...here were some of the thoughts swimming through my head this morning at 5:07 AM!:
could I send pickles?
How about saltines?
Would betty crocker au gratin potatoes be considered a treat?
Fish sticks?
How about a big can of creamed corn?
Then I think I actually woke up and had an idea
Take some gigantic marshmallows (left over from our fall camping trip) -- she needed 23 treats and there just happened to be 23 marshmallows - hello...meant to be!
Melted some chocolate chips - spread on one end of the marshmallow - added some sprinkles and here we go.
I put them on a cookie sheet in the freezer for a bit
(had some coffee FINALLY!)
and came back to put in baggies and tied them with some extra ribbon. Plopped them in a cute basket thing for her to carry to school.
Baby girl woke up, got dressed, came out over to the kitchen island for breakfast and saw the treats ready to go and her eyes got BIG and a huge smile was received.....
ahhh totally worth it for the quick easy last minute treats.
Chat soon -

In 1937 a major project was undertaken in Irish primary schools to preserve the folklore and traditions throughout the country. Pupils from 5th and 6th classes (aged 11-14) were asked to collect the traditional cures, prayers, proverbs, curses and local history from their parents and grandparents. This was then written in special copybooks in school and transferred to the National Archives in Dublin for preservation. Over 5,000 pupils took part in the project and a vast collection of folklore was preserved for future generations. In 2010 the Irish National television station R.T.E. decided to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the folklore commission with a series of programmes called Ó Bhéal go Béal. (From Mouth to Mouth) In the third programme four people were interviewed who had taken part in the project in 1937-38 when they were in primary school. Now in their eighties, these four people were shown the manuscripts which they had carefully written down 72 years previously. One of the people interviewed was Criostóir Ó Tuama, who was principal of our school in Newmarket from 1953 to 1988. Mr Ó Tuama had collected the folklore from his grandmother who was 96 at the time. Mr. Ó Tuama is a native Irish speaker from Ballyvourney in West Cork and his description of the prayers and sayings of his grandmother was recalled with great clarity. The programme was beautifully made and the four people interviewed provided a wonderful description of their schooldays and the rural Ireland of the 1930's.

What you need to know before you go
Osaka is Japan's third largest city, which has a unique identity characterized by a penchant for good food and lively fun. The 16th-century merchant city grew into an industrial powerhouse in the 20th century and has nowadays been transforming into a progressive modern arts hub. A plethora of galleries and futuristic architecture have been popping up, most prominently, the landmark Umeda Sky Building with its 2 towers linked by a sky bridge.
Osaka is home to some of Japan's most interesting cultural attractions, including the National Bunraku Theatre which shows extraordinary traditional puppet shows. The city is roughly divided into 2 centres, north and south, and is easily navigable. Kita (north) Osaka is the main business district, accessible from Osaka and Umeda stations. Minami (south) Osaka is home to many malls, entertainment and nightlife venues, accessible via Namba and Shinsaibashi stations.
