Are Allergies to Blame?
St. Joseph Medical Hospital
I sat with the children yesterday while they were playing in camp and it's interesting that I'm here because when I ask the little kids how many of them actually have food allergies, probably about 80% of them raised their hand. Then I asked them how many of them ate the foods they were allergic to and half of them raised their hands. It's actually an interesting insight and what I'll talk about and kind of what things you guys have been told about as parents.
I am not the allergist that believes that everything we're dealing with is solely due to allergies. The objectives are to look at the role of allergic disease in atopic dermatitis, to talk about the hygiene hypothesis a little bit because again it's in the lay press a lot. Talk about the role of food allergy and eczema, is there really a role, is there not, is it overblown more than people think?
There's this little girl, on every single slide and the reason she's on there is for two reasons. I do this as a professional passion. I did this as a professional passion before I had children. I'm still doing this now because my daughter, because of the way God works, has really bad eczema and was diagnosed when I was a fellow at National Jewish and actually diagnosed by some of the world's experts in eczema. Because of that, any advice I would give, the way I look at this disease, the way I interact with families comes from not just what I do all day long with what I do for a living but what I go home to at night. The bottom line is if there was a simple solution or if there was something that was so straightforward that I could tell you to fix your kid, I would have done it a long time ago. I really would have and I think in all of our frustrations when we live with this day in and day out, we lose sight of the fact that really it is a complex disease and there's not a simple answer for all of us and that again, if it were so simple, don't think that I wouldn't have figured it out way long ago.
If you look at my daughter, there's a dog right there. We didn't get rid of our dog. My daughter eats just about whatever she wants, and we go just about anywhere. If you look at her in the pictures, you'd never know she has eczema and that's my message for you guys. I don't want kids to know my kid has eczema not because I'm afraid of it but because it's not something that ever influences who my child is.
The bottom line is it's my fault because I'm an atopic person. Some people believe that our genetic makeup is what makes us more likely to develop atopic disease so even before we're born, things that happen are what make your child more likely to have issues. Secondly, there are other people that feel that multiple effects after birth are what happens so in other words you take a genetically susceptible individual, you put them in the right position and then they get bad eczema. Is it a combination of both? The answer is probably yes.
What are allergies?
Just about everybody here as sat down with an allergist, been told they've been allergic to stuff but nobody can answer their question what an allergy actually is. In a general sense it just reflects immune dysfunction. In other words your immune system just gets all goofed up for some reason and it's as simple as your immune system overreacting to something that it should normally just leave alone. So the grass outside, the ragweed around you, the dog that walks in front of you or even the food that you want to put in front of your child. It can include all these things and other immune stimulating substances. Now where it's important to realize is anything theoretically can cause an allergy, even the most hypoallergenic formula, even water I'm sure, any sort of substance to your immune system doesn't belong to itself. So the body has the potential to consider something an allergy although there are certain substances and things that are more allergic than others. In a general sense anything that doesn't belong to you can be allergic. You can have atopic dermatitis without atopy and that's what's so funny about this disease. It's called atopic dermatitis. It means allergic dermatitis in some way because that's what atopy is and what we can see is there is a three-fold increase in allergic disease in most children over the past 30 years. We don't know why exactly. I'll give you some things that we're thinking about, but allergic disease is on the rise for some reason.
Only about 3-6% of the population in the U.S. has a true IgE food allergy. That's not that much. There's some interesting data from probably about 10 years ago where we took big samples. This is out of the food allergy and anaphylaxis network data. 60% of the population in the United States, adult and children will change their diet because they think they're allergic to something. That's the standard population. This is not just our families here who are in this room but regular people completely change their diet because they're allergic to something and that goes into not everything's allergy. But explain to some parents in the room that onions make my eyes water and my nose run when I cut them. It doesn't mean I'm allergic to them but again what's allergy? I tell you when I go near ragweed, my eyes itch and run and my nose runs. There really is a difference in this process and it's understanding what's a really allergic process and what are things that can be irritating and making things worse for other reasons.
In young children and infants with moderate to severe eczema, most of the families here have a child with fairly moderate to severe disease, even out of those kids only 30-40% of those kids have a food that drives their eczema. So that means that 70% of the kids in this room probably don't have a food that's completely driving what makes their eczema worse and that's important to remember. I don't think any of us whether they're dermatologists or allergists or I would hope the allergist wouldn't blame every single food or what not on eczema and allergy but I guess they often do. The fact of the matter is only a small portion of them do. It's important for a good allergist to sit there and tease out the stuff that's okay and the stuff that's not okay and move on with it and not tell you you're allergic to everything under the sun.
In the adult sense this is a different disease process as you know, most adults do not have a food that's the primary association with their eczema although they may have foods that are closely related or may have anaphylactic reactions to foods.
Allergies and the HygIene Hypothesis
Using my daughter as an example, is dirt good? I get asked this all the time. There's a lot of literature about there about this idea of the hygiene hypothesis and again the idea of the hypothesis is we are seeing an increase in allergic disease because of the way we live. We no longer live out on the farm and have 16 cows around us and eat cow dung all day and eat dirt essentially. It really comes out of the westernization of our lives. If you look at other countries such as South America, Africa, some of these poorer countries, the incidence of allergic disease is a lot less than we see in Western countries and that would include northern climate countries such as Europe and the United States and even ones on the far southern ends like South Africa. These are studies that look at broad populations of thousands and thousand of people. Your children or you as individuals were going to be this way whether you liked it or not because of who you were in terms of genetics. The example I give to families is if you look at my daughter, she kind of looks like me. When I show you a picture of my wife, my wife is Scandinavian. As much as I'd want my daughter to look like my wife, she'll never look like my wife regardless if I put contacts on her and dye her hair. Okay? She is going to be who she's going to be and so this idea of let's get a dog, let's let our kid eat dirt, let's let him roll around in dirt and then he won't get as many allergies later in life and the food allergies will go away has no application to any of us.
If you feed your kid dirt you're just going to make him poop dirt and that's just about it. It won't make things go away. In terms of prevalence, though, we look at this and again there is a tie-in, there's a role for an allergist in the terms of the management of eczema because what ultimately happens is there is a prevalence of food allergy and other things in atopic diseases. So 35-40% of children with moderate to severe eczema have food allergies related to it and 6% of kids with asthma actually experience wheezing with food allergies.
Positive and Negative Allergy Tests
I don't do that much allergy testing so no, you come to see me, you do not get 9,000 things on your back. It's usually some form of some sort of extract of a certain concentration. These things are popped on your kid's back and they scratch. Sometimes we use fresh food extracts depending on a particular food that we may be worried about because there are certain proteins that are not in commercial extracts. Then they're usually applied by a prick puncture technique so that funny little scratch device or toothpicks. In general if allergists are doing interdermal testing to foods, it is contraindicated and none of us in the academic field would ever recommend that at this point and I'll leave it at that. If your allergist has done that to you, that wasn't a good thing. Nevertheless, the positive predictor factors.
These two things are probably the two most important pieces of information I want you guys to take home. Positive predictor factors, in other words the chance of that test telling you something that's a true allergy is only 50% at best and in somebody with eczema that probably goes down to probably less than 25% because their skin is so reactive. So when you get allergy testing done and are told your kid has allergies to every single food in the world or everything around them, allergy is a systemic disease or something that happens to you right away and you see it in their nose and their eyes. They throw up or their lips swell or something happens. It's not just because of what the test showed you. In other words, I tell my families if you want me to, I'll make you allergic to whatever you want and I can do it and most allergists can. What's more important is this piece of data, the negative predictor of accuracy. When you have a negative skin prick test, it's almost 95% chance that it's completely negative and that you don't have a problem with it and you can move on with it. Now there's a 5% chance it could be wrong, but in general what's more important as allergists is what's negative, not as what's positive.
Nothing is solely based on either blood work or skin testing. In terms of food triggers, there is a paper published in the Journal of Pediatrics in 1985 that essentially took 100 kids with significant atopic dermatitis and essentially they gave these kids the foods and saw what happened. In the end what it came down to is in general about the top eight foods that we all keep talking about accounted for 85% of the culprit foods that drove eczema. And that was it. Of these other foods that people start bringing up, these unusual mammalian proteins, some in the other categories were just unusual foods. It was really rare that those foods caused problems so in general most kids and adults all fit up in one category.
When we talk about milk allergy we also talk about this is where sometimes the beef allergy comes into. Kids who are really milk allergic sometimes have problems with certain types of beef. And then when we look at egg, this is the raw egg issue and the cookie dough issue. The risk of reacting to a tree nut is 35% if you have a peanut allergy and then if you have a tree nut allergy, the risk of reacting to another tree nut is about 35-40% chance so there's this cross-reactivity issue. So when I diagnose a kid with peanut or tree nut allergy, I end up just telling them they're allergic to all of them because there's a chance that something else is going to react and it's just a chance issue and it's a cross-contamination issue more than anything else. It's not practical, you can't eat this nut versus that one.
A lot of kids test positive for soy and a lot of times that's just due to they're grass allergic because remember soy is grass and grass is soy and legumes as well sometimes cause an issue. But it's only less than 5% so it's a really rare instance so when people bring up the fact that peanut's a legume and soy shows up, it's really a very small category of kids overall.
It all ends up usually being these essentially four food groups, peanuts, tree nuts, fish and shellfish. Again the risk of reacting to pecan is actually high if you're sensitive to walnut and it's because they share a common epitope which is the allergic antigen itself. If you look at pistachio and cashews, those two usually go together so if you look at your skin test and said wow, look how big my pistachio is, there's probably a good chance your cashew is high as well. The risk of reacting to another fish is 50% whether that's a fish in the ocean versus a fish out of a lake. A fish in some ways is the same. It's usually the albumin that is in the fish that causes most people's problems. The risk of reacting to another form of shellfish is 75% and this is a misconception from the old days. No, you're not allergic to radio contrast dye if you have to have a CAT scan or procedure if you're shellfish allergic. There are other reasons that you have issues but it's not because you're allergic to shellfish so all those little old ladies who were told after you CAT scan you had a bad reaction, stop eating crab because it's bad for you, you don't need to do that at all. This is where the confusions come from.
There is data that got this whole thing started about why all food and eczema go together. There were some really interesting studies that were done by testing and challenging and again. Some of these are over periods of time in the early '90s and the '70s where they took kids with eczema and they essentially eliminated these foods from their diet. And it did show that in some kids their skin got better but these were kids that were documented by challenges and these went back to the idea that these were moderate to severe kids. A lot of the major culprits were milk and egg, and if you remember milk and egg allergy, roughly about 80% of children will outgrow that allergy by the time they're five anyway so that there's a link but there's not a cause or effect and it wasn't the milk that made your kid's eczema worse all the time. It's just that these two things exist together. If you can eat a food without any reaction, for example swelling of your tongue, tightness of throat, etc., or again a major flare of your eczema, it's really unlikely that food's causing a problem because the bottom line is eczema gets worse on its own no matter what you do.
There were some families that brought up that two or three days after my kid ate some food, their eczema got worse. The connection's not there. When we do our challenges, we expect the challenge to happen and the reaction happen within the first six hours. If it's not worse right away then it's not going to be worse later and something that happens two weeks later probably is not related to a specific food.
Did the eczema come first or the food allergy come first or did the food allergy make eczema come or did eczema make the food allergy come? The answer is most kids will develop their eczema as the first sign that they're an allergic child. What unfortunately happens is you can see this parallel. The food allergy stuff all exists in the first year of life. It's all eczema and food allergies but what happens over time and the big question is what happens over time because most of the kids here are older than five. All these numbers start to go down. The food allergy stuff drops pretty quickly first and that reflects that idea that most kids with egg and milk allergy have it go away. The kids that are left over behind are mostly peanut and tree nut allergic kids.
The eczema itself in general starts to get better as these kids get older than five. If they have recalcitrant disease that stays around with them, then it's true it stays around with them but it's not being driven by the foods that they're eating. It's the disease itself that's continuing on but what immediately happens is you start to see the addition of asthma and actually the addition of hay fever start to come out right at the time the food allergy stuff disappears. Eczema in many ways is just the first hint that allergic disease is around. It's not a cause and effect but it is the march and there were some studies that tried to look at can we make hay fever and asthma less likely to happen if we fix kids' eczema early on? And that was based on the idea that these children sensitize to things in the environment through their skin. We haven't seen the rest of the data yet but that's the proposition with some studies that are going on right now.
The IgE levels in the blood get bigger and higher over time in general because again, these people get more allergic over time. Is there a link between eczema and asthma? The answer is yes, in some ways. There were studies that came out in the late '90s and again in 2000 by my mentor, Donald Leung, that showed that if a kid really had fairly bad eczema before age five, there was an 80% chance that they had some form of asthma. Doesn't mean the worst asthma in the world, it could be as simple as exercise-induced asthma, but it really gave you the hint that these were going to be allergic people later on in life. And that's really what we see in this room, it's what we see just around in general.
What can we do? You can look at my Scandinavian wife and look at my poor daughter who looks like me and I feel horrible. My son has no eczema but has longer hair than my daughter. She's eating whatever she wants.
There is an important role for both dermatologists and allergists, but the issue is as much as I'm a pediatric allergist doing allergy, my role is somewhat an afterthought. I help manage skin disease, I help manage the afterthought diseases which potentially are the food allergies, the asthma and the rhinitis that come later. I have been very aggressive in terms of addressing food allergy and asthma issues because my hope is to stop the progression of the other diseases if they all come out. But there's a role for both of us to work together and again there may be new therapies that address the food allergy issues which are an aside from the eczema. But they may inevitably influence the atopic march which may influence their asthma and their eczema later in life. In terms of alternative therapies, again most families in my mind attempt to use alternative therapies to address allergic issues. There are some therapies with some promise but again none of them have been well studied and well regulated that I would say are safe for your child. I use my child as a gold standard. There's nothing safe enough that I can promise myself that my daughter won't get cancer later on from it. In my practice and again the area I'm in and across the country, we do see super infections with staph and other types of bacteria, but other types of bacterial and organisms cause allergies and cause things to happen more. Again these have never really been played out as much as people will tell you that you've got a horrible cannibal yeast infection and that's the sole cause of everything. This is in the food allergy realm that's become very controversial and it's a reminder to all of you that as long as you have a true diagnosed food allergy, eating these small amounts of foods that desensitize yourself or your child have never been shown to be proven. There are four studies going on around the country right now looking at oral desensitization protocols for peanuts and tree nuts and egg, but they're still in the phase 1 trials and I'll tell you, in those trials a lot of kids anaphylax to eggs by accident during the trials under well-controlled settings. We're a long way before we can figure it out. What it reflects is probably there are some kids who probably can't eat stuff in baked goods. It doesn't make things worse but the reason we always talk about avoiding foods is what we know right now from the data is it does potentially make these allergies worse and this is why you've been asked to avoid certain foods. Thank you.

Iron Man was a personal favorite short to work on. I am a fan of Jon Favreau, and I love the Iron Man movie. The only thing I didn't enjoy about the film was the Iron Monger battle at the end. It felt very generic, and like most super hero movies, I was never really concerned for the safety of any character in the film. But what bothered me was how Iron Man blows up a tank earlier in the film with absolute ease, yet doesn't even try it when fighting Obidiah. So we decided Iron Man could have easily taken out Obidiah if he really wanted to instead of dragging it out and pointlessly draining his arc reactor flying into the stratosphere giving Obidiah his long exit speech.We also wanted to bring back the classic Cafe scene since it's becoming a HISHE super hero tradition. The problem was you can keep the scene going on and on with super hero jokes, so Tina and I had several dialog re-writes over the phone on this one. Credits Include: Our friend, Stephen Dowling, as Iron Man making this his second voice in a HISHE short. Victor Van Scoit came back to play the very brief Spider-man, which I was really excited to have happen. And I played all of the other characters since I already do the voices of Super/Batman. I really like Bryan's music on this one as well. He did a really good job mixing that guitar sound with the soundtrack.So that's a quick summery for you. Hope you guys enjoyed the short!
This was the most hilarious cafe scene you've done so far. Awesome work. :DNice Tony Stark also.
This one was one of the best. I love the cafe scenes and this one was awesome. Keep up the great work.!!!!
First of all, I have to sincerely thank you for this animation, it was the movie that had motivated me to make my first ever post here in this website and I always thought after Beowulf, Iron man would be next. So this is really cool, funny thing now that I realise was that I always thought you did the voice for Spiderman. Which makes it weird, because I've watched Spiderman HISHE quite a few times and never wonderd who the other people that did voices in that sketch were.I never took into consideration how he had that little tank missle that could have taken him out so easy, So this HISHE is going to make a lot fans happy. I always just hated the last battle because it seemed it was made to have Obadiah just say a bunch of "Cool sounding" one liners. So spiderman was a funny addition, I think next time if you ever have a dinner scene again, you should keep the style of the superhero films and have Stan Lee be the waiter.
I could have sworn you were spider-man...... but anyway another great job 5^5/5
I would watch the heck out of a "superhero diner" show.More comedy gold from you guys. Great work! NickelCrew.net
You've done it again, HISHE! Great work. I just couldn't stop smiling watching it (again).Great catch on the loophole (I had the same feelings about the ending). Appreciated the voice work - having Victor come back for the cameo was a great touch, and adding another voice in Stephen gave scope to the short. What was his first stint doing voice work for HISHE? And nobody can do Supes and Bats like Daniel!I loved the Cafe banter - great writing! I could really see the Superhero Cafe becoming a regular feature (like the comics), over and above HISHE shorts. From the sound of it, there is plenty of material..."Up top!"P.S. I spotted Kiddo in the intro (during the Marvel-like-comics-page-flip), but did anyone see him anywhere else in the short, or was that his cameo this time around?
Nah, when the Iron Monger begins his take off there are some cars and one looks like a school bus to me, and it reads KDDO (or something simialar to that, need to check it again.)
Bliss is right. the official kiddo wasn't the one in the intro. That was just the old Marvel-like slide intro which I put back in for Marvel sake :) but if you guys are catching kiddo now in single frame shots, I'm going to start shortening the usual kiddo shots :)
This made me smile but thats about it. This is not a bad thing however because I faced palm myself for this ending, why couldn't I realize this before? The coffee banter wasn't the usual laughed to I cried ( "I'm batman" joke was the lame and forced) but the other banters were comedy gold to me. Other than that the voices were all superb and the art, animation was great (wonder how you animated the helmet flip).This review was mostly negative, so please don't freeze breath me.Edit: Kiddo is on a bus with the words KDO.
I love it whenever you guys go back to the whole Diner Scene! I'm with everyone else who thinks that there should be a whole Diner short. Other than that cliche comment, I like how you captured Tony Starks personality perfectly in this short. Then again, Tony Stark is pretty much a comedy goldmine when it comes to parodying.Also, why is it that nobody, in any short, parody, or skit, ever shows spidey any love?
This vid was very good! With that huge body suit on, traveling that slow would have been more realistic. And yeah, why didn't Stark just use his super awesome missiles? Just because in a superhero film you never just kill off the bad guy right away, but need to let him have his monologue and "accidently" somehow kill him. This was so much better!And the cafe scene was priceless! It does seem like they don't like Spidey so much...wonder why that is *cough cough* XD
I speard the word of iron man hishe to Jon favreau on twitter hope you don't mind.
It was a great short, I really loved it. I'm all for a diner short too.
on the bus when stane takes offawesome short loved the spidey bit laughed so hard
I hate to say this, but I didn't like it; it didnt make me laugh.
^While I may not have laughed at it; it brought back memories of the movie and made me think. Like all the other shorts, which is why I love 'em. Personally, in the list of my top favorite HISHEs.
On ABC this morning, there was an interview with Robert Downey Jr. and they showed a small clip from Iron Man 2 that really made me laugh. Because it was Nick Fury and Tony Stark having a humorous conversation in a cafe, and it looked a lot like the one in HISHE. Just made me laugh.
Yes! I like to pretend that whole scene was made because Favreau saw the HISHE cafe scene and became inspired. HA. :)
I didn't think he did that because at that time he was running low on power and couldn't use his weapons. That being said, I still loved the short as I do the rest of them. Probably just nitpicking though cuz Iron Mans a movie I know inside and out.
Congratulations man, once again, excelent job!! the video was hilarious, and the ending with batman and superman, even better hahaha.Regards from brazil!P.S.: I'm sending the link to all of my friends, both here and Argentina, hopefully i't will give you some additional fans ;o)
awesome! thanks! we appreciate the support.
I enjoyed this short tremendously. You guys are the best, keep up the great work. The image of Batman and Superman sitting around chewing the fat about superherodom has been making me smile all week.(and to the previous poster, while it is true that Iron Man was running on minimal power from the old reactor, the missile he fired earlier in the movie appeared to have its own self-contained propellant -independent of the reactor-, and even if it hadn't, the power required to slingshot that tiny payload a few yards would almost be certainly less than the amount required to propel Tony Stark and his metal suit into the upper layers of the atmosphere. It appears I have now overanalyzed a movie that wasn't taking itself that seriously, but the point is HISHE's version of events would have been awesome AND plausible.)
That's a very intelligent analysis. I was really just starting the scene based on the moment where Jarvis tells Tony "Sir it appears his suit can fly" and his first reaction is fly straight up and drain the arc reactor. At the point he takes off Jarvis even says they are down to like 12% capacity which he is plenty to fly into the stratosphere apparently. But it's not till Stark does the whole "how'd you fix the icing problem" line and knocks Obidiah on the head that Jarvis finally reminds him that they now have 2 percent power left which he barely flies back to earth.So I feel he had plenty of power to aim and shoot if he could almost leave the earth's atmosphere.
When Jebadiah says something like "Hey man, this is a brand new suit." was he supposed to sound like the dude (a.k.a the big leibowski), which if he was, I think is brilliant, and if he wasn't, I still think is hilarious.
Yes, he was supposed to sound like the dude. You're the first person to catch it! :)
I didn't even notice the Dude's voice when I saw the short the first 4 or 5 times. It was only when I was playing poker and day dreaming between hands that it hit me out of the blue for some reason. Excellent job on the short, and especially with capturing the essence of the Tony Stark charachter from the movie: "tank missle". While HISHE has always been great & funny, I really think you guys are starting to become true masters of your comedic genre now that we are seeing multiple levels of humor and reocurring themes/jokes.
I LOVED IT!!! everything! especialy the cafe scene :)) great job summerizing Tony Stark too.
I love all you videos and I love it when the supper heros are talking! They make me crack up every time they talk. :) good job
I loved this short so much that I posted it to my Facebook profile and now have several other friends checking out your site... thus far, they all reported to find the vids very funny! Thanks for the entertainment!

I've been chastised for speaking out before of not ever voting on anything because it's all a rigged system anyhow, well... I registered and I voted this time simply because I wanted to cast my vote AGAINST Obama.
After the results were tabulated last night, Romney strongly won the popular vote of the American people, yet the Muslim African won the electoral vote. This whole electoral process in this pitiful country translates to: "Your vote doesn't count anyway".....
America died.... Funeral services pending.....
Guess you've seen by now that President Obama won both Electoral College AND Popular vote...isn't it grand!

Tampa Bay Rays starters, meet "dead arm" syndrome...it is only a matter of time before Price goes through it too
Niemann and Davis aren't seriously hurt, they're just inexperienced; Niemann only threw one full season in the majors and Davis has never thrown a full season

It is hard to believe that this team came so close to being nohit again! However, you have to tip your hat to Morrow who has probably pitched the greatest game he will ever pitch in the majors. He looked like Nolan Ryan and Clemens he was so dominate.
David Price is insanely good. . A lefty starter throwing 100mph
Niemann and Davis on the DL. Hellickson is better than Davis so they didn't really lose much, but Niemann is gonna be tough to swallow.

The real reason why the Yankees keep winning is cause the other team can't stop staring at the damn pinstripes
Hellickson has one major league start. He is more talented than Davis and looked better....but it's a stretch to say he's better at this point. Most ML pitchers struggle at some early point in their careers, no matter who they are.Originally Posted by teknetic
Davis posted a 122 ERA+ during last year's stretch run. I'll take the over on Hellickson putting up a 95 ERA+ from now until the first week of October.

good article on fangraphs about Maddon's managerial moves last night:
Maddon used Rafael Soriano, Joaquin Benoit, and Grant Balfour in that order from the ninth inning onward. If asked to pluck the three finest relievers in the Rays pen, ostensibly thats the correct selection.^You might argue that he didn't actually think of the double-switch (instead planning to put in Jaso) until he put Jennings in to run for Shoppach (who was on first) already in the middle of Upton's at-bat (it was a 2-2 count), but clearly it worked out at Navarro's superior arm helped contain Gardner's attack on the bases.Maddon pinch hit Dioner Navarro for the designated hitter Willy Aybar in the eighth against CC Sabathia. Why? So Navarro could lay down a bunt and advance the runner to second with nobody out. Bunting in the situation is defensible given the run scoring environment. Navarro is among the teams more skilled bat handlers while also being the best backstop defensively. Maddon traded the designated hitter spot to move Navarro behind the plate in the ninth.
They mention some other things in the article, but I especially liked pinch-hitting Hawpe against Gaudin. As we all know, Gaudin is caca against lefties, and that looked like it was going to end poorly for us.
also, the Rays are blessed with a lot of guys that can play multiple positions (This is ultimately caused by the intense level of competition and talent in their minor leagues; guys have to learn multiple positions in order to have a chance to advance. Many of them also have the natural talent and athleticism to do it.). This allows for really splendid double switches for handedness at the plate that makess the late innings real interesting watching.
"First batter up well here's the pitch: it's a curve. Second batter up because the first got served"
^How did Navarro's superior arm help contain Gardner's attack on the bases??
I thought everything Navarro did was by the book, and therefor he should receive no extra credit last night.
Oh wait, you're right. that was Benoit. wow, gardner's fast. almost stole the base anyways.Originally Posted by THEBOSS84
edit: also noticed that R.J. Anderson wrote that article. gross.
"First batter up well here's the pitch: it's a curve. Second batter up because the first got served"
Is is me or is that a lot of 1-run games?The Rays fall to 26-24 in one-run games, while the Yankees improve to 17-16.
They can't hit, but they can pitch. They've had a lot of 1-0, 2-1 games.Originally Posted by b-ball-lunachick
It's on the high side but not that un usually 5 teams have played at least 50, 1 run games.Originally Posted by b-ball-lunachick
The Yanks are acutally an oddity on the low end, their 33, 1-run games is 4 fewer than the next lowest AZ who has 37 then Pit with 41. Most teams are somewhere between 45 - 50 at this point of the seaosn looks like.
Baseball is life;
the rest is just details.
This is why Rays fans are lame. I know a transplanted NY'er who was a Mets fan/Yankee hater. He now is a Rays fan and has given up on Los Mets. Anyway, he wrote to me telling me he cant wait for October baseball so he can sit in the Trop with his flip flops on watching the Rays win it all, while I suffer in the cold October weather. Flip flops to a game? STFU!!!
They had Matt Joyce hitting behind Longoria last night. They had 3 guys with an OPS under .700 on Monday. How does this team score runs, ever?

you can tell your friend that they didn't even get 30,000 fans to come out for the Price/CC matchup..even Maddon though that was bad...
btw - it must eat Maddon up to hear all those cheers there for the Yankees when he's already disappointed at the fan turnout. I know he's probably used to it but there wasn't really a rivalry between the two teams before...
Overall .250 / .336 / .408Originally Posted by b-ball-lunachick
w RISP .266 / .368 / .425
The are a little better but not crazy better.
According to baseball reference they have a team OPS+ of 106 which isn't that far behind the Yanks 108.
What they do well is steal a lot of bases (1st in the league with 160) and hit enough HRs (145) to drive people in.
Where they are really good is not giving up free passes. They've allowed 173 fewer walk then they have received.

I don't know but here are the BR pages
It also has the Yanks with a 111 ERA+ to Tampa's 103 mostly due to park farctors.

the rest is just details.
B-ref had some kind of overhaul with YS park factors - all the hitters OPS+ from last year went down, while the ERA+ for pitchers went up. I guess they figured YS is a bigger hitter's park than they originally thought.
I'm almost positive CC had an ERA+ of 130 last year...now B-ref has him at 138. I'm also almost positive Tex's OPS+ was over 145 but now it's at 140.
I checked CC's BR page yesterday night and it's definitely not the same as today.

Make us LOL and you could win tickets
27 March 2012 - 7:21pm
Make us LOL and you could win tickets
Today was a big day for these fellas ...
... these "dummies" caught the first flight of The Raven for the 2012 season.
Dummies? I think not!
To celebrate their raucous return to the station (and yes, they were armless pre-flight), let's give away a pair of tickets, shall we?
Take a look at these pasty-faced gents. The two in front look relaxed, if a bit stunned.
But those two in back - see how one is leaned in toward the other? What's that dummy saying?
It's "crunch time" here at the park, so we need a good laugh. Make us LOL and you could win a pair of tickets.
Here's what to do:
1. Give us sass. Give us silly. Give us snark. But keep your "Dummy Dialogue" family-friendly, okay?
2. We called it "Dummy Dialogue" because we have an unhealthy alliteration affinity (see?); it can be Dummy Monologue if you prefer. We like one-liners, too.
3. You must be 13 years old or older to be eligible.
4. Holiday World & Splashin' Safari employees (and their immediate family members) are not eligible. (Quit complaining! You earn plenty of free tickets during the season - let these other nice folks win some tickets once in a while.)
5. To enter, post your Dummy Dialogue as a comment here on this HoliBlog post. Don't worry if it doesn't show up right away, we moderate our comments. And we sometimes nap between 2 and 4am.
6. To be eligible, you must include your email address in the "email field." It won't show up publicly in your post, but it's how we'll notify you if you win.
7. Only one entry per blog "comment." If you're so incredibly witty that you have three entries, then you must post three separate comments. Don't get carried away, though; you're not that funny.
8. This contest runs through 12 noon CDT on Monday, April 2.
9. The judges' decision is final*.
* ... and we're no dummies!
Hey Gas is so high but,It was worth my arms to get here The Raven was a blast.!!!!
Fireworks Safety PSA Filming at Holiday World
The fireworks safety PSA actors get a much needed break after filming.
Dummy dialogue
D1: I get to test Voyage tomorrow...
D2: That's NOTHING, Dan has me testing Mammoth later this week!
dummy dialog
Rear dummy: "Weren't you wearing a hat?" Front dummy: "'Take it off before the coaster leaves', you said...Did I listen? NO!"
Let loose
"Loosen up a bit" " Throw your arms in the air like you just don't care"
Gas is so high it cost me 2 arms to get here,But it was worth it The Raven is a Blast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(This is the conversation between thus follows: #1 top left, #2 top right, #3, bottom left, #4 bottom right)
#1: Look!! LOOK UP! There in the sky!!!
#4: Is it a Bird?!!! Oh...wait...We're riding the...
#3: NO! It looks like a plane!!!!
All in Unison: IT'S SANTA!!!
"Arm and a leg"
Announcer "And remember folks, please keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times."
Rider "Should we say something?"
Why do I let you talk us into
Why do I let you talk us into things like this?I am sooooo telling mom about this one!
Raven dummy run.....
"We waited all this time for the back seat and the ones in front of us just got right on. Who's the dummy?"

Central Maryland AFL-CIO Council |
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka and Stephen Blaire, Catholic bishop of Stockton and a member of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' domestic policy committee, wrote the following Op-Ed, which appeared in the Sacramento Bee last week. Unions and Catholic leaders have long found common cause in advocating for policies that defend the dignity of workers and protect immigrant families. Over the past several years, we have worked together to win congressional approval of comprehensive immigration reform legislation. Although such legislation has passed the U.S. Senate in an overwhelmingly bipartisan fashion, the U.S. House of Representatives is now delaying consideration of either the Senate bill or its own version of reform. Read more >>> As we reflect on the actions all over the country by Walmart associates on Black Friday and consider the fact that people are working harder than ever and are still losing economic ground, we're reminded that the federal minimum wage is not enough. In a joint Op-Ed for CNN, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka and National Employment Law Project Executive Director Christine Owens remind us that in the past 15 years, all wage increases have gone to the wealthiest 10%.

Wii U Username: AuraGuyChris / 3DS FC: Ask for it
Youtube Channel - Current Walkthrough: Rayman Legends (Wii U)
I never thought id see the day when Giovanni would promote Jessie, James and Meowth. I liked Iris too, overall I liked the episode
Of course I didn't; it's the silliest thing I've ever heard.
I wonder why Ash didnt tell Pikachu to spam thunderbolt when they were attack by that flock of Pidove
Team X:
Because that would be rude.
They are animals they don care about rudeness and those Pidove were spamming Air CUtter trying to kill Ash and Pikachu
Team X:
But Ash isn't an animal, so he might care.
pffff he makes his rodent zap the crap out of humans you really think he would care besides it would make them easier to catch
Team X:
^ Yeah......I doubt it.
I still wonder why they allowed zekrom to appear this early.
Pickachu is weak again loses to level 5 snivy.
Overall decent episode.
This is a Dragon according to Gamefreak, I don't see how but whatever It's adorable!3DS Friend Code: 3652-1012-6122 Add me.
Pikachu's level is always reset when they set out on a new journey. It lost to eevee, elekid, and snivy. It wouldn't be right having an over-powered pikachu like that. It would be awesome but it wouldn't be fair to the other trainers. And besides, Pikachu's electric attacks weren't working when it battled snivy.
Ash's team right now
credit goes to ~.:Northern Lights:.~
If you think the Sinnoh saga has been the best saga of the whole show, copy and paste this into your signature! (started by FlameRose)
If you deny any sort of existence of Iris's hair, put this into your sig (started by 5ilVer)
This episode was great. Iris is a great Character. Proberly my favourite Female companion so far. Axew was cute. It was quite amusing when Pikachu shocked Iris. I love the new Team Rocket. They're finally doing they're job after years of failing. Cool to see Jessie catch a Woobat and Ash to catch a Pidove. Cool to see Oshawott beat Team Rocket. He is strong.
I watched this episode today and it was good - Jessie catching Woobat, Ash catching Pidove, Oshawott saving Axew and Pikachu, seeing the revamped Nurse Joy, and not to forget Oshawott's cute little dance!
I give this a 10/10!
So Iris replacing Dawn... this is going to be interesting

Ms. Billie fell in her yard last week and broke her right arm. They did surgery on it this past Tuesday, put a plate and screws in and she is home recovering. Sure hope you will do as the doctor says…..and will be good as new in a short time, Ms. Billie.
The rain Friday afternoon was so welcome and refreshing. I do believe it is the beginning of the fall growing season. Guess we better get those turnip, mustard, radish and lettuce seeds in the ground. Although, I noticed Robert and Jean Benefield already have a big patch growing.

If you were unable to make it to Sherman Day this past Saturday, you missed a lot of fun, fellowship, and belly-laughs. The day began with a wonderful turnout of 105 entries in the Sherman Day 5K run, which was sponsored by Bresee Outpatient Physical Therapy. Several age division awards were given to males and females. The profits after expenses will go to the Sherman Special Events fund.
Homecoming at Hurricane Baptist Church will be held on Oct. 3 with special services for the day as the night service will be changed to the afternoon. There will be a fellowship meal at noon.
The Wise Family Farms are getting prepared for their festivities beginning the first weekend in October located on Shady Grove Road.

The Taff Trail:Aberfan
Aberfan and Merthyr Vale
Aberfan is known for the disaster on 21 October 1966 when mining waste slipped down the hill, destroyed a school killing 144 people, 116 of them children.
As the Taff Trail runs along the contour of the valley, the Garden of Remembrance can be seen high above. Merthyr Vale and its station is across the other side of the valley.
Aberfan to Pontygwaith
(approx 1.9 miles 3km)
From Aberfan follow the contour of the hill with the river below to the left. At the end of the village turn sharp right up the hill and through a subway under the A470. Turning left the roadway runs parallel to the A470 for about 1.5km. Part of this roadway follows the route of the former Glamorganshire Canal.
The Trail now passes through a gate on the left and steeply downhill through another subway. Owing to its stepped construction, it is almost impossible to ride down. Just below the subway we come to Pont y Gwaith.
From above the subway, an alternative route is to follow the lane uphill directly to Abercynon missing out Quaker`s Yard entirely. Also, on foot you can follow the course of the canal to an old arched bridge.
Aberfan to Abercanaid
(approx 2.8 miles 4.5km)
This section of the Taff Trail follows the former Glamorgan Canal. It is level and alternates between housing, woodland and cleared hillside.
We pass underneath a high viaduct which carries the main road across the valley before reaching Abercanaid.

Any tips on how i can improove my time or amount or relog?
Any tips on how i can improove my time or amount or relog?
Talk less in guild chat so you can make longer combos .
As around 1:25 you didn't even make a combo because you were talking.
On further aspects, I don't know much about HV myself, I'll let others comment.
Ok. Firstly, never record your sub pass. You've censored it, but: Now everyone knows its lenth. Even if it randomizing after every enter everyone saw which numbers positions you pressed. Random boards have only 5-6 different positions. So it is only 6-10 tries and your subpass broken. To block acc you need to fail 20 times remember it. First tip for you: change your sub pass as soon as you can.
Secondly, there is no need to kill all monsters. At start you need to kill only 1 Leaf. Then dash away from them and kill only 1 of 2 Mosquitos. Also Hazardous Zards are totally no needed to kill. Only snakes. Save your hp post. I kill all mobs only for exp.
You have pretty nice luring. Keep it on! Good luck with drops!
Oh i didn't knew about that sub pass, changed already.
Hmm, thought all needed to be killed >.< tho i might keep doing that for EXP ^^. gives me ~3% per run.
Gotta look on that luck for drops now i'll try to find it somewhere, maybe in the hidden mantis dung
There isn´t much to do better except making 180. 170/179 -> 180 is a huge difference in DMG and DMG taking.
Tried also everything possible and kinda have the same time with under 180.
Also we suck now since everyone seem to have higher DPS with BM3(thus more leech) than WA either BM3 or BM2.
You can just do better NOW, if you spam Fury pots like every nup with BMA for time-seeking.
Also many just claim that they do it under 10 min without Evasion Pots/relog or Fury Pots but reality looks different and you will never see vids of them propably.
Last edited by Passion; 25-06-2012 at 10:18.
Answering your question, yes you can improve your time. There now it depends if you spam hv or if you just do 1/2 runs. Normally i do not use bm at first mobs, coz i normally do 5/6 hv in row, and waiting a nice SP roll ins't the best solution if you don't want loose time dancing. Appart this you can improve your time, imo, in this situations: combo at toads takes more time than combo first mobs coz they aren't easy to lure, I cast bm3+bs at bridge and kill all toads, then go for boss and panic ofc, ext and go kill next mobs. At last 3 forms i saw on your videos you making 1bm+1bm well imo this is total waste of time, i do first 2 forms with bm2+bs+panic at first, kill snake go 2nd form hit if there is any time left of bm and ext and kill it, only here you will save 1min+. Last form as normal is a bma, usually i use an evasion pot since i craft them for myself so it takes me only a bma for 3rd form. All in all doing it in this run makes me use 6sp total, with arionell i finish with 2 sp wich is quite nice, also it takes me ~10min per run. Hope i helped you, test it and if you see something bad/better to add just say
@Edit: just made an hv hard, coz saw ur dmg on your vid...do you have any rune? stats ( str, dex, int) atack, amp, cd? coz well in combo/bm2 you are making 1.5k dmg less than me, and you have 14/80-40/7 helm, im using 15/24 helm. at first form you making 7684 with bs+panic, i make there 9037. you are for sure missing runes.
If you use Fury Pots/need relog for do hv Hard better you go back to Easy or Normal. Using Evasion in 3rd form is a personal choice, it depends if you wanna kill it in 2 sp or 3/4 (waste of sp imo)

Last boss seems to be so painful with any other class than BL.
Blader is obvious, isn´t it...
my damage addnig runes are: only DMG rune, i put a lot AP in MCR and HP. also STR at lvl2.
If i use BS on thoses bosses i will die for sure... ~ 2.5k+ hits
I don't want to waste alz to this dung, ^^,
I ask me what u will do, if cabal change the relog function^^
I never saw a HV video with so much relogs. Is not boring if u need to relog and to relog?
Important if u want bit time save is always about the right start.
If u kill more than 1 leaf, so will be more moscutter spawn. But u said u want more exp.
But if iam honest, the last mobs there by the snake they give the highest exp. in that dg.
What i can u tell is, try to get lvl 180, to push, s amp, attack, def, def rate, cd, hp absorb % and limmit up of the max in your runes. I think u self know it the dg give u nice Axp. But i think with some rune changes u will be bit faster.
For the last boss u dont use BMA? I just saw it u use only bm2 and relog and relog again.
Try it 1 run for the last boss a BMA. Maybe u life bit longer than normal
They will nerf it very soon anyways like IC1, since it´s too unbalanced for classes. Already now with relog some classes can do it without a bit of afford and others need evasion pots/skill/relog/over-gear.
I did last form with BMA and still he hits like 3/4 of my life often.
