Bruce the ump from Northern Virginia
Bought as a LL ump; and our league decided to go to under the shirt chest protectors. I think I liked the shield more, because I like having the protection around the crotch and can handle the indicator, shirld and call the game at the same time. However, a nice product.

Geek Squad used to be an independent computer repair company, and were mentioned by Pine and Gilmore in The Experience Economy. They became a subsidiary of electronics giant Best Buy in 2004.
They turned fixing computers into a fun experience, by creating a uniform (Pine and Gilmore might call it a "costume" in keeping with their theater metaphor) and a quirky tone.
The first line, under "Agents are Standing By" is,
"For simulation, cut along dotted line and place on or near computer."
It continues:
Official instructions:
1) Cut out agent and stand along dotted line
2) Insert slot A into slot B on stand
3) Insert stand into slots C and D on agent
4) Feel safe and secure knowing an "agent" is near
Fine print:
Miniature scissors not necessary to cut out this stand or agent.
In the event of a computer malfunction, a three-dimensional agent will be deployed to your home or office.
From the Wikipedia entry, the job titles continue the joke :
- Director of Intelligence - Agents in the field rely on the Director of Intelligence for support when they need to source a part, locate a driver, and research complex special requests.
- Double Agent - These Agents work both at Geek Squad Precincts in Best Buy stores and also respond to house calls to offer in-home service.
- Covert Operators - These agents offer technical support via the company's 24-hour hotline.
- Counter Intelligence Agent - These Agents provide customer service and computer repairs at Geek Squad Precincts inside Best Buy stores and stand-alone locations.
Tip of the day: Do you offer services that could be turned into fun experiences with a twist of voice? Can you offer something new to a service that's been around a long time?

Will This Airline's Change in Strategy Spell Glory or Doom?
Ted is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) made headlines in 2011 when it completed the purchase of AirTran for $1.4 billion in cash and stock. The acquisition was hailed by analysts as a terrific move to spur growth. Many observers noted that there would be no cannibalization because there is so little overlap between the two companies. However, the lack of overlap is precisely why the acquisition will turn out to be the worst move in Southwest's decades-long history.
Ingredients for Success
Few companies prosper after abandoning a tried-and-true method of success. Southwest has earned an operating profit in 39 consecutive years by flying short-haul direct flights with a fleet of only one aircraft type.
Southwest is famous for its domestic direct flights that often arrive in mid-tier airports where the landing fees are lower. This strategy minimizes delays by avoiding congested airports and holds down food costs because the flights are usually not more than a few hours.
The company is also famous for using one aircraft model for its entire fleet. This simplifies maintenance scheduling and training. At the end of 2011, Southwest's fleet consisted of 610 Boeing 737s.
Southwest's short-haul direct flights and single-model fleet has given it one of the industry's lowest cost structures. The company regularly earns higher margins than legacy carriers like United Continental (NYSE: UAL) and US Airways (NYSE: LCC). United and US Airways have gone through multiple bankruptcies and have proven unable to compete in a structurally-challenged industry with their legacy carrier model. However, budget airline Jet Blue (NASDAQ: JBLU) earns margins closer to that of Southwest by using a similar model.
Abandoning a Winning Strategy
Since Southwest and Jet Blue's success are proof that the business model works, it is anyone's guess why Southwest would want to abandon the strategy for something closer to the legacy carrier model. The AirTrain acquisition was lauded by analysts because it gives Southwest access to 37 new markets that have little overlap with Southwest's markets, which provides enormous growth potential and reduces cannibalization.
However, analysts fail to notice that Southwest is moving away from the short-haul direct flights and single-aircraft model that has enabled it to become one of the most profitable airlines in the industry. By acquiring AirTran, Southwest also acquired 88 Boeing 717s, which essentially nullifies the company's single-aircraft advantage. In addition, AirTran has a presence in much larger airports like La Guardia in New York and Logan Airport in Boston, which eliminates Southwest's short-haul direct flights to mid-tier airports model and shifts it to the more traditional hub-and-spoke model that legacy carriers like United use.
Investment Prospects
It's puzzling why Southwest would want to move away from the strategy that has served it well for four decades. At 11x historical pre-tax earnings, the stock does not look especially cheap. However, a company's operating history has no predictive power for a company that will operate much differently in the future. There are really only two possible outcomes: Southwest does better in the future than it has in the past, or it does worse in the future than it did in the past. If I had to guess, I'd guess that, in five or ten years, Southwest's financials will look more like United's than Jet Blue's. But it's anyone's guess how a major corporate transformation will turn out.

Rare Color Photos From WWII
November 21, 2012 - Ben Klein
The Library of Congress has posted nearly 1,600 rare color photos taken by the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information Color Photographs.
According to the Library of Congress, "Photographers working for the U.S. government's Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later the Office of War Information (OWI) between 1939 and 1944 made approximately 1,600 color photographs that depict life in the United States, including Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The pictures focus on rural areas and farm labor, as well as aspects of World War II mobilization, including factories, railroads, aviation training, and women working."
The website Visual News has selected some photographs here.
I tooka quick look through the group and these five caught my eye.
The complete collection from the Library of Congress is available here.

Josh Powell's in-laws call for changes in way state protects kids; DSHS appoints panel
The in-laws of Josh Powell called for change Thursday in how Washington state protects children.
Their grandsons, Charlie, 7, and Braden, 5, were killed Feb. 5 by their father, Josh Powell, who also killed himself in his rental home during a state-approved visitation. Josh Powell was also a person of interest in the disappearance of his wife, Susan Cox Powell, in Utah in 2009.
"I had a very strong feeling that something bad was going to happen that day," said Judy Cox, Susan's mother and the boys' grandmother. "I knew we had to follow the law, because that's the right thing to do."
Judy and Chuck Cox had temporary custody of the boys at the time.
"Clearly there should not have been visitation in a private home," added Chuck Cox. "If that was necessary, there should have been more safeguards."
They've teamed up with state Sen. Pam Roach, R-Auburn, who wants to block murder suspects from getting custody or visitations with their kids.
But in the Powell case, it wouldn't have made a difference; he was a person of interest in the disappearance of Susan Powell, not a suspect.
Meanwhile, the Department of Social and Health Services released a statement announcing who will sit on the panel to review the circumstances around the deaths of Charlie and Braden Powell, who were killed by their father Josh Powell on Feb. 5.
Josh Powell attacked the children, ages 7 and 5, with a hatchet before blowing up the house, killing all three of them.
Washington state law requires a review when a "child death or near-death injury is suspected to be caused by abuse or neglect, and the child has received services from Children's Administration in the previous 12 months," the statement said.
Josh Powell was denied custody of his children at a Feb. 1 hearing. The children had been in the temporary custody of Chuck and Judy Cox, the parents of Susan Cox Powell, Josh's wife who has been missing since December 2009.
At the Feb. 1 hearing, the judge ordered that Josh Powell undergo a psychosexual evaluation based in part because of his father Steven Powell's arrest for having pornographic images on his computer (he is currently in Pierce County Jail) and Josh and his sons lived with Steven at the time, and because hundreds of pornographic images had also been found on Josh Powell's computer.
Since the deaths of Charile and Braden Powell, DSHS has come under scrutiny for allowing Josh to continue having supervised visits with his sons.
DSHS is required to complete the review within 180 days following the death of a child. The panel will convene April 26-27 to conduct a review and a neutral, outside party will act as co-faciliitator.
The panel includes King County Prosecuting Attorney Rich Anderson, Tacoma police detective Brad Graham, Sen. Randi Becker (R-Eatonville), Sen. Jim Kastama (D-Puyallup), Judge Jim Doerty and other members with backgrounds in psychology, domestic violence and children's welfare.
The panel will publish the review upon its completion.Copyright © 2014, Orlando Sentinel

After giving a friend instructions on garden watering while we were away, we invited her for a glass on the front porch while we waited for a toilet delivery (?!?!). Recent reports of premOx in 2002 Huets have me nervous, so I popped the 2002 Huet Vouvray Petillant Brut. I was a little worried as there was scarcely a burp as I opened (not premox but flat?) but no, normal amount of bubbles, and actually a charming wine. Apple fruit with cinnamon and spice, a definite citrus zest note, just a hint of yeast roll. Good, chalky, full, and fun. B+
Tonight was Betsy's last chance to cook for David before he heads to Berkeley, so she went for his soft spot-Asian noodles. Soba with scallops, clams, shrimp and Chinese broccoli, with the 2002 Robert Weil Kiedrich Grafenberg Erstes Gewachs Riesling. Stony, white pit fruits, dry, large framed but with enough cut to keep fresh. Full, fresh, and feisty. A-
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C drinkable. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice.Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.

?��Against Me! - Transgender Dysphoria Blues
RIYL: Foo Fighters and The Gaslight Anthem
Recommended Tracks: True Trans Soul Rebel, Dead Friend, Fuckmylife666.
This album is mixed greatly. I love the opening track. It gives the album a punky sound. In general, the album is very grungy and punky. I compare it to The Gaslight Anthem. They have sort of an Irish punk sound to them.
"True Trans Soul Rebel" takes me back to middle school. This song is much more punkish and and teenage like. The guitar riff is very catchy. They do a very good job bringing in the chugging guitar in the chorus.
"Fuckmylife666" is what I compare to the Gaslight Anthem— a very american punch with a twist of Irish rock thrown it.
"Dead Friend" is my favorite song on the album. It is a happy medium for me. It still has that chugging punk guitar—definitely a rock song— but also a ballad, reminding me of the Gaslight Anthem.
All together...WOW. Has to be rock album of the year
RIYL: The Ravonettes, Best Coast
When I heard of the Dum Dum Girls I automatically thought angsty girl band, but I was disappointed when their first track started playing. I was hoping for a No Doubt, Fiona Apple and The Cranberries vibe. Maybe it was my fault for putting this band on such a high pedestal before even wafting in their sound.
Instead of bra-burning music that I could jump around my room feeling my girl power, I was met with breathy vocals and a mystical Gothic sound with light airy tones. When listening closely I could almost hear a slight similarity to the band Metric, but I did say almost. If you can't tell, this band was not my cup of tea. Their instrumentals were generic and made you feel you were in a bad 80's Gothic music video. Not to mention that I couldn't get past the lyrics that sounded like some chick whimpering about a guy that was "Too True to Be Good".
Emerson Jay- T H E E P
RIYL: Foster the People, Passion Pit
Recommended Tracks: Track 2: Young Svn, Track 5: LZY Me
T H E E P is the first release from the Pittsburgh-native four-piece band, Emerson Jay. Jared Gulden is a twenty-one year old musician and the brains behind the entire operation of Emerson Jay. T H E E P is a six song EP, filled to the brim with electronic synth-soaked happiness.
The band draws its influences from groups like Foster the People and Passion Pit, but still manage to harvest their own unique sound. It's relaxing, yet exciting and catchy. Track two, "Young Svn", starts with an infectious guitar riff that leads into a burst of sound and energy that holds strong for the remainder of the song. Jared Gulden is young and new to the music scene, but that doesn't stop him from delivering some insightful lyrics that add to the quality of the EP. On "Young Svn" he sings, "It's too much to take, how far can you go until you'll have to break?And how will we break? cause it hurts to say that the end isn't far away." On track 5, "LZY Me", he questions "May I make up my mind if I change i?, cause I change a lot." In Gulden's lyrics, it's obvious to read that he is nervous of the future. As any musician trying to break in to the industry has probably felt before, Gulden and the rest of Emerson Jay have questions about their future and their music.
Let's just say that this EP is a step in the right direction. Their sound is something relatively new to the music industry, and will most likely grow in popularity in the near future. Fueled by raw talent, passion and a little bit of luck, we'll be hearing a lot more from Emerson Jay. T H E E P is a breath of fresh air to music.
RIYL: Queens of the Stone Age, Biffy Clyro, Red Hot Chili Peppers
Recommended Tracks:
Track 2-Blackie
Track 3-Youphoric!?
Track 4- My Kite
Track 5- Amusement Park
Four Italian kids under the mantras E-King, Penguinsane, litteladle and ThEdOg team up with a Grammy-award-winning producer and release a great funk-rock EP. That's the story of newly Austin-based band Piqued Jacks.
The Jacks take the highly syncopated funk feel of bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and infuse some good old rock & roll on their EP, "Just a Machine." It doesn't take long to see just how talented the Italian boys are. "Blackie" is a blazing fast, funky rock track infused with a machine-gun-like bass riff and an infectious poppy chorus featuring some really tight harmonies.
"My Kite" is a gorgeous piano driven song that crescendos into a full-on power ballad that sounds destined for a movie soundtrack, especially during the unforgettable chorus that shouts the cadence "The Ocean is Wide" over bright, cutting guitar sounds.
The band has been making a lot of noise in the Austin, Texas area, and it's easy to see why after listening to the EP. These guys have some serious potential.
RIYL: The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Japandroids, White Stripes
Recommended tracks:
Track 1- Dreamer
Track 2- Wicker Man
Track 5- Fires
New Mexico-based, blues/funk-rock duo The Lymbs have the same unique gift that made the White Stripes famous: to create an absolutely huge sound with just guitar and drums. The duo combine elements of blues and funk rock with harder, garage rock, mashing up guitar tones that sound straight from a Chili Peppers record with huge, fuzzed out moments that sound like Japandroids on steroids.
Gage Bickerstaff's seducing tenor sounds like something straight out of the early blues-rock movement— say Cream or Muddy Waters. Plus, he can absolutely shred on the guitar. On the opening track his clean, laid back riffing explodes into a huge sounding, overdriven guitar blitz that will have you wanting to bash your head off the nearest wall and shout for joy at the same time.
Jeff Bell tackles the daunting task of giving a backbone on drums to such a versatile, rhythmically complex sound like it's not even a challenge. He shuffles back and forth between polyrythmic and highly syncopated licks ("Kerosene") and heavy half-time thrashing ("Dreamer") with ease— which is no small task.
In a world full of assembly-line-produced, rip-off bands, The Lymbs take a unique, refreshing approach to bringing back rock music. And they do it in a big way
Recommended tracks: 5. Gone Solid Gone Remix, 1. Laziest Girl In Town Remix, 4. You're To Blame Remix
In a remix to Austin-based singer Elizabeth McQueen's The Laziest Girl in Town album, Brothers Lazaroff join forces with McQueen to create a jazzy, electronic, R&B EP. This EP is one of those that you listen to with quality headphones or a great sound system so you can really hear Brothers Lazaroff's amazing instrumentals.
Track 5, "Gone Solid Gone," really sticks out because of featured artist Thelonius Kryptonite. His smoother vocals were preferred over McQueen's tone on this track. Don't get me wrong, McQueen has a great voice, especially with her old-school singing style, but Thelonius gives the song such a twist by incorporating his rapping talents.
The opening track on this EP, "Laziest Girl in Town," is just so mellow and relaxing. McQueen's voice reminds me of real old-school R&B, the kind that you slowly nod to. And of course Brother Lazaroff is just sick at doing what they do—such a smooth track and a great way to introduce Brother Lazaroff and McQueen.
The fourth track, "You're to blame," has one of the best instrumentals on this entire EP. Brothers Lazaroff clearly express how crafted they are on this track. That cool kind of electronic melody along with the background singers and McQueen is so fluid.
Overall, a pretty good EP if you're into a modern, jazzy feel.
RIYL- Mumford and Sons, Fleet Foxes
Recommended Tracks:
Track 6- A Moment's Grace
Track 8- Back Down the Black
Boy and Bear have been dubbed as the Australian Mumford and Son's. Upon first listen, every amateur music listener would probably think the same thing. After listening through the album a few more times, you'll be able to tell the two bands apart and recognize their unique sound.
Their sophomore album topped the charts in Australia, and for good reason. Every song on this album tells a story. The work as a whole gives off a warm, fuzzy sound. There are times throughout the album when you can just feel the pressure building. I found myself waiting for the band to explode into heavier rock riffs but as soon as this anticipation builds up, it dies back down again. In some cases, this would be bad for a band, but I think in the case of Boy and Bear, it works quite nicely. On "Back Down the Black," the lyrics describe a sort of struggle with what I'm guessing to be drugs. The lead singer describes what it's like to be scared for someone you love. "There'll be change 'cause this one's too big not to see, but brother you're scared and I'm scared when you're scared 'Cause you ain't supposed to be."
Its witty lyrics like this that make the album worth listening to. Although it may seem, instrumentally, that the album may drag on, the wordplay and lyrics are what distinguish this album as a success and not a failure.
RIYL – Childish Gambino, Drake (Take Care) , LL Cool J
Recommended Tracks:
Track 3 - Dreamer
Track 6 - Gone
Track 10 - Lion's Den
As a hip-hop artist, writer, and co-creator of Morburn, the Montreal MC L.E.S.' complex lyricism flows well with the combination of southern bounce and rap. After emerging on the scene in 2008, L.E.S. gives more than what you can expect out of an artist.
The laidback feel and smooth flow of "Dreamer" and "Gone" are the Drake songs of the album. As L.E.S. tells the "baby, don't leave me because I know I messed up" story, the flow of R&B mixed with his insane lyrics will have you in a trance that's impossible to get out of.
Soon the album rises to his MC status giving us what he is known for. The track "Lion's Den" shows MC style that L.E.S. is becoming known for. His dope beat with a gangsta, schizophrenic flow creates a latitude higher than what we want out of a rapper.
If you listen to the album here is a tip: DO NOT SKIP AROUND! The Genesis is one album where one track flows into the next. If you like discovering new hip-hop and are down with a freestyle, L.E.S. will not disappoint.

It seems that dog fighting is still a problem in the state of Mississippi.
Sheriff Bryan Bailey says Saturday night's dog fighting bust in Rankin County was the largest dog fighting ring he's ever seen in the county.
When these type of scenes arise, many dog lovers become upset about the depiction of Pit Bulls. Others wonder if these dogs can ever be rehabilitated.
Debra Boswell, Executive Director of Mississippi Animal Rescue League, doesn't believe they can.
She says pit bulls are one of the most abused breeds because they have dog fighting blood lines.
"Would you ever trust one of these dogs alone with your child or one of your grand child, or your little puppy at home they come from a fight ring my answer has to be no," Boswell explained.
Boswell says 60 percent of fatalities in dog attacks are caused by pit bulls. She believes it's difficult to change a fighting mentality many of these dogs are trained to have. Her agency doesn't take the risk.
"We see that happen over and over we have dozens of dogs brought over each year by people that have loved them, that's raised them in the house and now something has happened and their behavior has gone haywire," said Boswell. "I feel we feel that they're genetically predisposed when they come from a fight ring that's what they're bred for."

PRINCESS ANNE, Md. - New details are beginning to emerge after an alleged murder happened in Princess Anne early Thanksgiving morning.
These photos to the right, are of what Maryland State Police believe to be, a newer model Hyundai Elantra with tinted windows, reportedly connected to the murder of 35-year-old Adrian Marshall. The vehicle is seen entering and then leaving an apartment complex down the street from Marshall's home, 15 minutes before the incident. Police are looking to identify the owner of the vehicle.
Police responded to reports of the shooting at the 11,000 block of Greenwood School Road around 1:00 AM last Thursday morning. They found Marshall, who was later pronounced dead, suffering from at least one gunshot wound.
Investigators are offering a reward of up to $2,000 for information that leads to an arrest. Call Crime Solvers at 410-548-1776 with information.

James Harden posted a note to his Instagram account on Monday that said he had been traded to the Hornets. Royce Young of DailyThunder.com snagged a screenshot of the message and shared it on Twitter:
Young says Harden deleted the message, but not before the above screenshot was captured.
So what do you make of this? Was Harden hacked? Was he pulling a Reggie Bush?
The team says he was not traded, and there is some speculation that he may have been duped by a trade reported by a phony Twitter account.
Even if this was the result of falling for a phony Twitter report — and it wouldn't be the first time someone feel for a fake report — it could just be a foreshadowing of the future. Harden is set to make $5.2 million next season and the team extended him a qualifying offer for the following season. He'll likely be offered a max deal as a restricted free agent, putting the Thunder in a difficult position. It's commonly believed that Oklahoma City won't be able to keep Harden and Serge Ibaka after signing Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook to long-term deals, so they'll have to be creative about their future. That could include trading one of their stars.Google+

- About UMass Medical
Patient care is our primary concern. Bringing the highest quality care to those in need is first and foremost on our agenda. UMass Memorial Health Care is the largest health care network and the only academic health care system in Central Massachusetts. Its physicians are renowned for their care of patients with cancer, cardiovascular disease, orthopedic conditions and diabetes, as well as providing emergency, maternal and women's health and children's medical services. UMass Memorial's comprehensive network includes a three-campus medical center in Worcester, four community hospitals, eight affiliated community hospitals, ambulatory services including community based physician practices, home health care, hospice, and behavioral health services. Lifeflight is the busiest single air ambulance service in the country. The new Ambulatory Care Center, opened in summer 2010, brings physicians and clinical researchers together in one location to facilitate translational science and clinical trials.
UMMS is recognized as one of the fastest growing research institutions in the United States. Continuing to build on past research achievements and grounded in the tradition of the Worcester Foundation for Biomedical Research, our physicians, scientists, nurses and health care leaders are motivated by the direct connection that exists between medical research achievements, advanced health care and quality of life. By using basic research to examine cellular and molecular activities in the body, our scientists take a whole-body approach to understanding the root causes of disease and reasons for disease progression. These findings are applied to clinical research and used to develop and evaluate new medicines and treatments that can positively impact patient care.
Education is how we equip tomorrow's health care professionals to care for families in our generation and those to come. UMMS includes a School of Medicine, Graduate School of Nursing and Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. Long at the forefront in educating primary care physicians and consistently ranked in the top ten of graduate schools by U.S. News and World Report, recent initiatives in cross professionalism, learning communities and fostering competencies are all pushing the frontiers of medicine.
Public Service is one of the cornerstones of our mission. We fulfill that mission by serving the community, filling the gaps in care and helping to provide a healthy environment for all our citizens. We define health in the same broad context as the World Health Organization: "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease."
Our Community Benefits Program supports community health initiatives that address unmet health needs in a proactive manner through partnerships with many local human service organizations. Medical interpreter services and cultural competency, mobile medical and dental services, healthy communities, literacy, youth development and violence prevention, children's wellness and protection, senior services, health services in low-income neighborhoods, mental health services for youth, and programs for the uninsured, underinsured, indigent and homeless are all an integral part of fulfilling our mission to the community. The Ronald McDonald Care Mobile provides care in our neighborhoods while the Disaster Management Assistance Team is regularly deployed to such world crisis spots as Haiti and Chile.

Foodie Friday Linky Party Guidelines:
Life seems to get busier every year, especially for bloggers, so I have revised the FF guidelines to make it easy and pain free to participate in the linky party.
** You don't need a backlink to Rattlebridge/Foodie Friday on your post in order to participate.
**I enjoy meeting new bloggers, and I'd love for you to follow the blog or join me at Facebook...but social media seems to be getting bigger and bigger by the second. If you'd like to add your recipe to FF, you don't need to like, join, or follow Rattlebridge on social media.
**A linky button is available on the sidebar, but it's not mandatory for you to use it.
**You may add as many recipes/posts as you wish to Foodie Friday. Older/seasonal posts are always welcome.
**Visit at least three other Foodie Friday participants and give them shout-outs on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.
** By adding your link to Foodie Friday, you are granting Rattlebridge Farm permission to include a photo of your FF recipe (and a link to your blog post) on FF recipe favorites and Rattlebridge's Facebook page, Pinterest, and "most viewed" recipe shout-outs.
** If you love food photography, you might want to visit the "Consuming Passions" group board at Pinterest, which can be found HERE. In order to join, just "follow" the board and leave a comment on the most recent pin.
** If you are visiting from Pinterest, please note that the images in FF's thumbnails belong to the bloggers who submitted them. No thumbnail image may be pinned, copied, or distributed without permission from the copyright holder. To pin or to inquire about a photo, please visit the source blog. You can find that by clicking on the name of the recipe, which is located below each image. Thanks!
How to Link to Foodie Friday
1. Look for the Inlinkz icon (a blue frog) at the bottom of the Foodie Friday post. Click on the icon.
2. A form will pop up, asking for information.
3. First, add your URL (this is the permalink to your blog post, not the main link to your blog. For example, the main link to a blog might be http://www.foodfiend.blogsplatter.com. The permalink address would include the unique address for a blog post, and it is much longer than a regular URL. Example of a permalink: http://www.foodfriend.blogsplatter.com/2013/04/foodie-fiendfollies-april-5th.html . Don't put the address to my blog in this section or visitors will be routed back to my blog, and we want them to visit you. Your permalink will make sure visitors find your post--sometimes visitors will look at old FF posts, months or years after the Foodie Friday event.
4. The second line in the Inlinkz form will ask for your name. You can add your blog's name, the title of your recipe, or a "headline" to entice visitors to check out your post.
5. The third line in the Inlinkz form will ask for your email. Don't worry--no one will see it, nor will it be shared.
5. After entering your information, Inlinkz will ask you to select an image for the thumbnail. A crop tool is available. Choose an image.
6. After you submit your link, it may take a few moments for your thumbnail to appear.
Foodie Friday Q and A's
A: In 2009, I started Foodie Friday as a weekly virtual cookbook to showcase great recipes in our blogging community.
Q: What type of recipe should I make for the cookbook?
A: Appetizers, entrees, soups, salads, bread, desserts, and everything in between. You can blog about a single cupcake, store-bought food, picnics, a restaurant, a cookbook or product review, kitchen gadgets, dishes, foodie memoirs, cookbooks... or a whole meal. Tablescapes are welcome if they contain at least one cookie or a cupcake.
Q: Must my food be homemade?
A: That's up to you!
Q: Can I use pictures of food that I've posted previously on my blog or that I've linked to other food blogs?
A:Of course.
Q: Do I have to prepare a new dish every week or can I use an older post?
A: Older posts are always welcome.
Q: I don't have time to visit every link at the party.
A: Everyone understands that life can be super busy. But please visit at least three other participants.
Q: What if I have a question that your Q and As haven't covered?
A: If you have questions, email me at email@example.com. I write full-time for two publishers, and sometimes email gets away from me. If you'll put an ALL CAPS note in the header of your email (URGENT Foodie Friday Question or URGENT 2nd Request, etc) I'll know you need an immediate response.
Q: When can I post to FF?
A: The FF link goes live every Thursday between 7 and 8 PM central time.
Q: Can I post other items that are lifestyle related, such as tablescapes, gardening, crafts, etc.?
A: While food is the dominant feature, all posts by bloggers are welcome.

Conservative Think Tanks Launch Campaign to Turn Americans Against Wind Energy
Photo Credit: Shutterstock/WDG Photo
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
A network of ultra-conservative groups is ramping up an offensive on multiple fronts to turn the American public against wind farms and Barack Obama's energy agenda.
A number of rightwing organisations, including Americans for Prosperity, which is funded by the billionaire Koch brothers, are attacking Obama for his support for solar and wind power. The American Legislative Exchange Council (Alec), which also has financial links to the Kochs, has drafted bills to overturn state laws promoting wind energy.
Now a confidential strategy memo seen by the Guardian advises using "subversion" to build a national movement of wind farm protesters.
The strategy proposal was prepared by a fellow of the American Tradition Institute (ATI) – although the thinktank has formally disavowed the project.
The proposal was discussed at a meeting of self-styled 'wind warriors' from across the country in Washington DC last February.
"These documents show for the first time that local Nimby anti-wind groups are co-ordinating and working with national fossil-fuel funded advocacy groups to wreck the wind industry," said Gabe Elsner, a co-director of the Checks and Balances, the accountability group which unearthed the proposal and other documents.
Among its main recommendations, the proposal calls for a national PR campaign aimed at causing "subversion in message of industry so that it effectively because so bad that no one wants to admit in public they are for it."
It suggests setting up "dummy businesses" to buy anti-wind billboards, and creating a "counter-intelligence branch" to track the wind energy industry. It also calls for spending $750,000 to create an organisation with paid staff and tax-exempt status dedicated to building public opposition to state and federal government policies encouraging the wind energy industry.
The proposal was reviewed by John Droz Jr, a senior fellow at ATI, for discussion at the Washington meeting, which he also organised. ATI's executive director, Tom Tanton, said Droz had acted alone on the memo, although he confirmed he remains a fellow at the thinktank.
Droz is a longtime opponent of wind farms, arguing that the technology has not yet been proven and that wind technology should not receive government support. He claims 10,000 subscribers to his anti-wind-power email newsletter.
In a telephone interview, Droz said the Washington strategy session was his own initiative, and that he or any of the participants had been paid for attending the session.
Their main priority was co-ordinating PR strategy. "Our No 1 reason for getting together was to talk about whether there should be agreement to talk about a common message."
The strategy session is the latest evidence of a concerted attack on the clean energy industry by thinktanks and lobby groups connected to oil and coal interests and free-market ideologues.
ATI is part of a loose coalition of ultra-conservative thinktanks and networks united by their efforts to discredit climate science and their close connections to the oil and gas industry, including the Koch family. Those groups include the Heartland Institute, the John Locke Foundation, and Americans for Prosperity, the organising arm of the Tea Party movement.
ATI is a relatively new entrant, coming to national attention only last year when it filed lawsuits against climate scientists including Michael Mann and James Hansen.
Campaign groups and spokespersons for the wind industry say there has been a sharp rise in organised opposition since early 2009 when Obama put investment in renewable energy at the heart of his economic recovery plan.
"We do see evidence of co-ordination," said Peter Kelley a spokesman for the American Wind Energy Assocation. "The same rhetoric pops up all over the place. Things that are disproven, that are demonstrably untrue, continually get repeated."

FROM AVISTA UTILITIES: Avista crews are working to restore power as quickly and safely as possible to approximately 11,000 customers throughout eastern Washington and north Idaho. Outages are primarily related to downed power lines resulting from high winds.
If you see a downed power line, call Avista at 800-227-9187 immediately to report its location. Never touch or attempt to remove fallen limbs from downed or sagging power lines. Treat all power lines as if they are energized, or carrying electrical current. Remember to keep all children and pets away from the area.
Updated outage restoration information is available at www.avistautilities.com or through Avista's automated phone system at 800-227-9187.

$60 per month with 5GB limit is a joke!
i'd rather wait for the 3G ipad. $30 a month unlimited plus you dont have to carry an extra brick with you.
right now im tethered with mywi + ipad wifi = free
its 5gb limit on 3G but if u have perfect 4G then its unlimited 4G
That's a nice case and sprint is very sneaky
This is a chance for them to do some real damage to AT&T buy giving a better service at or close to the same price. But 60 dollars on top of $30 already for iphone is crazy. Just tether with iphone.
I have been pretty happy just using MyWi
I would really like to use one of these options but not at those prices..... I will do without!
Sprint with the fake 4g signal it just doesnt exist. 3g is all they have and limit to 5gb thats like 20 min of surfing. Untill they drop the price and compete with att prices they will not have any business
Is sprints 4G any good?
But it is great running on e iPad at 4G , i was using it last week, I just want it to be available in NYC
I actually got my 64 GB iPad, the Sprint Overdrive, and this snazzy case today.
Live in Las Vegas so I have 4G here; been playing around with a little bit, but don't know enough to make a full report yet.
From what I've seen so far, the device has a bad battery life and constantly disconnects my iPad from the WiFi network, but besides that the 4G seems to be pretty fast.
(And its unlimited B/W for 4G and 5 GB for the 3G; if you live in a 4G town like me this is actually a pretty damn good deal)
1. i dont care what ya talk about but no talking of ccracked apps is one...
2. language people...act up get slapped up with infractions
3. no insulting other members regardless of your opinions...it doesnt justify anything

Lost Words
Władysław Szlengel, a forgotten Polish Jewish poet who wrote a verse celebrating Joe Louis' 1938 victory over Max Schmeling, was once a celebrated and searing voice of the Warsaw Ghetto
For all his love of Poland, Szlengel did not spare the Poles. In a poem called "The Key at the Concierge," he attacked those who served the Germans and plundered Jewish property. (He deliberately omitted this poem from his collection, at least, he wrote, until the passions the war had inflamed had subsided.) Nor did he exempt the Jews, particularly those pampered, indifferent Jews living blithely abroad, drinking orange juice every day as their European brethren were exterminated. In one poem, he writes of a mythical Jewish company in New York making a killing on the Yahrzeit candles that commemorate them.
But the real target of his ire is God. In one poem, he portrays him as a benevolent, clueless elderly man, exempted from wearing the ubiquitous Jewish armband and carrying a precious Uruguayan passport. In another, he castigates him for relegating his faithful flock to nooses and ditches and gas chambers, insisting that he won't get away with it. God is in the dock, his "Chosen People" are the prosecutors, and his sentence is to share their fate.
And when the killers will have pushed you and forced you
And dragged, stuffed you into the steam chamber
And sealed the hatch behind you
The hot steam will begin to suffocate you, to suffocate you
And you will scream, you will try to run—
And after the torture of dying will have stopped
Then they will drag you out and throw you in a horrible pit
They will put your stars out—the gold teeth in your jaw—
And will turn you into ashes.
In an essay he called "What I Read to the Dead," written as the ghetto's numbers continued to dwindle in early 1943, Szlengel compared himself to the last man alive on a doomed submarine he'd seen once in a Soviet film, who scratched a final message to posterity as he gasped for breath. As all those with whom he'd performed, and those who listened to his poems, and all his neighbors and friends—each of them, as he put it, a co-author—were carted away, he, too, was suffocating.
"They will not be mentioned in any statistics, no memory of them will remain," he predicted. "But for me these were living people, close to me, touchable. Their fate touches me more than the fate of Europe." On an unseasonably warm February day in 1943, Szlengel looked through his poems. "I have read those verses to warm, living people," he wrote. "People who believed in survival, in liberation, in tomorrow, in revenge, in joy, in reconstruction. Please read them. This is our history. This is what I read to those who died."
His despair lifted briefly when the first Jewish resistance began. Suddenly, those Jews who'd shuffled off under the watchful eyes of dapper, vain, and sadistic Nazi soldiers were fighting back. Finally, the cattle had arisen; finally, the Germans knew fear. That prompted Szlengel's most famous poem, "The Counterattack," a work that exists in several versions, probably because it was often recited from memory.
We beg you, God, for a bloody battle,
We beg you for a violent death.
Let not our eyes, before they close,
See how the train drags, drags …
But Lord, make our hands hit the mark,
So that the steel-blue uniform reddens with blood.
His wishes were fulfilled that April, when the ghetto uprising began in earnest. Szlengel fought with the only weapon at his disposal, setting down what he saw. What then happened to him isn't precisely clear.
"Yesterday evening, the poet continued to write his poems in which he sang of the heroism of the Jewish fighters and lamented the fate of the Jews," another ghetto resident, Leon Naiberg, wrote in his diary on May 8, 1943. "This would be the last time, since the bunker belonging to Shimen Katz [where Szlengel was hiding] on Shvientoyreske 36, collapsed onto itself." But another account has Szlengel apprehended, then marched off along with everyone else to the Umschlagplatz. He, too, then, may have wound up at Treblinka, his ashes mixed with his readers'.
Szlengel himself was gone, as was whatever he wrote in those final few weeks, but some of his other poems survived: those he'd handed off to his friend, those Ringelblum had preserved and would unearth after the war, still others he'd apparently stuffed into an old desk, to be retrieved 15 years later when the man who'd inherited it chopped it up for firewood. Some were published in Poland immediately after the war, but for many years they remained in a ghetto of their own, the victim of the language in which they'd been born.
"If he had written in Hebrew or Yiddish or German, he would be known," said Henryk Grynberg, a Polish-born writer and scholar who first wrote about Szlengel in 1979. "The feeling is, 'A Jew who writes in Polish is not a real Jew, so why should we support him?' " Grynberg has translated some of Szlengel's work, as have Pawel Mayewski, Michael Steinlauf, Maria Lewitt, and Kassow himself, but few of those poems have migrated beyond the Internet. (The bulk of the translations in this essay come courtesy of Yala Korwin, a New York poet and visual artist who is originally from Lvov.) No volume of Szlengel's poems in English exists.
In Hebrew, it's different, thanks to Birenbaum. She settled in Israel after the war and for four decades believed that she was the only person alive who even remembered Szlengel's words. Entirely by chance, someone on a kibbutz gave her the Polish edition of his poems. She pored over the slim volume; one after another, the words she'd memorized re-materialized before her—like dear friends she hadn't seen for years, she wrote, or homes in which she'd once lived. She translated them and, in 1986, published them at her own expense. One was adapted by her son, Yaacov Gilad, for a song sung by the popular Israeli rock star Yehuda Poliker. Szlengel's poetry has also become better-known in Poland, and there is now even a short entry on him in the Polish Wikipedia.
Szlengel's paean to Joe Louis was neither his best nor his most prophetic work: The Brown Shirts emerged from that fight at Yankee Stadium in June 1938 as unscathed as the Brown Bomber. In light of what was to come, in fact, the poem seems poignantly naïve. Still, through it Szlengel had demonstrated far more graphically than I could have ever hoped something I'd been eager to prove, and I was in his debt. And when I set out to discharge that debt, I stumbled upon all these other, far more powerful and important poems. Forgotten they may be, but with them he gave me, and all of us, an even greater gift.

INDIANAPOLIS—In 2007 the Pacers fired Rick Carlisle after a four-year run with the team, fast-forward to 2011 the former outcast has now won his first NBA Championship. Carlisle led the Dallas Mavericks to a 4 to 2 series win over the Miami Heat in this year's NBA finals.
A few years ago, this seemed nearly impossible, Carlisle's career in Indy started off with a 61 win season and a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals. But, 2004 saw everything unravel. His career tainted by the Palace brawl that put the Pacers on a downward spiral for years. The Pacers let him go in 2007 after the Pacers missed the playoffs for the first time in a decade. Even through the controversy Carlisle and Team President Larry Bird still remain friends and Bird says he was rooting for his buddy in this year's NBA Finals.
"Rick puts a lot of time into it; he's very dedicated to the sport. But, he had a team that was perfect for him. He likes ball movement; he likes guys that play hard. I'm not surprised they won. I think Rick has a future where he will win a few more,"
Bird hasn't called Carlisle to send him any congratulatory words but they have chatted though text messages. The Pacers team president doesn't regret not having Carlisle stay around even though his rise to success has opened up a lot of eyes.
"We've been friends for a long time and he was ready to go. But, I'm very happy for him and hopefully we'll get this team better and he'll want to come back," said Bird.
Bird has a strong feeling the Mavericks could be back in the same position next year, as for the Pacers he would not comment on the status of their head coaching search. Interim coach Frank Vogel is the front runner to take over the job after leading the team to a 20 and 18 record during his tenure, including a trip to the postseason.
