About the TYCOON Cut
The prized TYCOON cut lends extraordinary character to any already stunning stone. Setting this patented process apart, the TYCOON cut boasts nine crown facets and 20 step-cut pavilion facets. Its intricate signature diamond-shaped table is known industry-wide as "the only diamond with a diamond on top." Recognized by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), the prestigious TYCOON cut offers a noticeable brilliance and elevated quality level. Add significant distinction to your collection with the renowned TYCOON cut.
Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Platinum Plating:
Platinum can be used as a finish coating over sterling silver or copper alloys. Its bright, pure luster enhances the brilliance of gemstones and does not discolor or oxidize. Platinum plating is also characterized by its good resistance to surface abrasion, making jewelry pieces more durable against everyday and long-term wear. Over time, platinum plating will wear off and therefore will require re-plating.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
On the Mohs Scale, which measures the hardness of minerals, cubic zirconia is an 8.0 to 8.5. It is important to understand that hardness is not necessarily related to durability. Even though diamond is the hardest mineral (10.0 on the Mohs Scale), it can still be chipped or broken.
The only ways to tell the difference between cubic zirconia and diamond are by use of a thermal probe, by weighing the loose stone or by microscopic examination of surface features and inclusions. Cubic zirconia weighs approximately 65% more than diamond. Therefore, while a 6.25 mm round diamond weighs about 1.00 carat, the same size cubic zirconia weighs about 1.65 carats. If you know the weight of a cubic zirconia, you can figure out the diamond weight equivalent by multiplying the cubic zirconia weight by 0.6, or 60%.
Few natural diamonds on the market today are perfectly cut, and those that are cost much more than the usual diamond. Unleashing the fire, beauty and brilliance of a stone depends on its precise cut. Simulated diamonds are an excellent balance between quality, beauty and price.
Brilliance: The white light leaving a jewel, traveling upward, which is visible to the eye. Brilliance is sometimes referred to as "sparkle."
Dispersion: Flashes of rainbow colors. Also called "fire."
Hardness: Resistance to scratching. The higher the number, the more resistant.
Luster: The shininess of a jewel.
Toughness: Resistance to breakage.

A family of four missing since Friday has been found.
The parents, James and Mai Firth, were in Florida from Vietnam with their two girls, ages 4 and 2.
More From WPBF: Email alerts | Mobile | Social
Investigators said the family lives in Vietnam, but came here to get treatment for the 4-year-old, who has autism.
Child protection officials in Florida said the family was under investigation after the Firths said they would kill themselves and their children if they ran out of money for treatment.
The family was last seen Friday in Brevard County and were safely located Tuesday evening in California.
The two children have been taken into custody by child protective agents.
Child protective officials in Florida are making arrangements to travel to California to get physical custody of the girls and return them to Florida.
When the girls return to Florida, the Department of Children and Families will care for the girls and an emergency custody hearing will take place.

FARMINGTON � A new report ranks Shiprock third in the nation in the percentage of Native Americans living below the poverty line.
The U.S. Census Bureau�s report analyzed the 20 cities most populated by Native Americans and Alaska Natives and compared the poverty rates from 2007 to 2011.
The Daily Times of Farmington reported that nine of the 20 cities were in New Mexico and Arizona.
Under current federal guidelines, a person earning less than $11,170 a year or a family of four with an annual income of less than $23,050 is considered to be living in poverty.
Shiprock�s poverty rate was 39.6 percent. Gallup was ranked fourth on the list with 31.8 percent, Zuni Pueblo was fifth at 31.8 percent, Farmington was seventh at 29.6 percent and Albuquerque was 12th at 27.4 percent.
Among the Arizona cities on the list, Tucson ranked sixth with a poverty rate of 31 percent.
Phoenix finished ninth on the list at 28.9 percent, Tuba City was 11th at 28 percent and Mesa was 18th at 22.8 percent.
Native Americans accounted for 96 percent of the people living in Shiprock, according to 2010 Census figures. The annual per capita income is about $12,000.
�Unfortunately, our community has been in this condition too long,� said Shiprock Chapter President Duane �Chili� Yazzie. �The only way is up.�
All of the New Mexico cities listed had higher poverty rates than the state�s rate, which was 21.5 percent. The country�s was 15.9 percent.
Rapid City, S.D., had the highest poverty rate on the list with nearly 51 percent. Minneapolis had the second-highest with 48.3 percent.
Nine states had poverty rates of about 30 percent or more for Native Americans and Alaska Natives.
They are Arizona, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota and Utah.
The Census Bureau�s report was released Wednesday.

You will notice that sun and shade patterns change during the day. The western side of a house may even be shady due to shadows cast by large trees or a structure from an adjacent property. If you have just bought a new home or just beginning to garden in your older home, take time to map sun and shade throughout the day. You will get a more accurate feel for your site's true light conditions. Conditions : Full to Partial Sun Full sunlight is needed for many plants to assume their full potential. Many of these plants will do fine with a little less sunlight, although they may not flower as heavily or their foliage as vibrant. Areas on the southern and western sides of buildings usually are the sunniest. The only exception is when houses or buildings are so close together, shadows are cast from neighboring properties. Full sun usually means 6 or more hours of direct unobstructed sunlight on a sunny day. Partial sun receives less than 6 hours of sun, but more than 3 hours. Plants able to take full sun in some climates may only be able to tolerate part sun in other climates. Know the culture of the plant before you buy and plant it! Conditions : Types of Pruning Types of pruning include: pinching, thinning, shearing and rejuvenating.
Pinching is removing the stem tips of a young plant to promote branching. Doing this avoids the need for more severe pruning later on.
Thinning involves removing whole branches back to the trunk. This may be done to open up the interior of a plant to let more light in and to increase air circulation that can cut down on plant disease. The best way to begin thinning is to begin by removing dead or diseased wood.
Shearing is leveling the surface of a shrub using hand or electric shears. This is done to maintain the desired shape of a hedge or topiary.
Rejuvenating is removal of old branches or the overall reduction of the size of a shrub to restore its original form and size. It is recommended that you do not remove more than one third of a plant at a time. Remember to remove branches from the inside of the plant as well as the outside. When rejuvenating plants with canes, such as nandina, cut back canes at various heights so that plant will have a more natural look. Conditions : Light and Plant Selection For best plant performance, it is desirable to match the correct plant with the available light conditions. Right plant, right place! Plants which do not receive sufficient light may become pale in color, have fewer leaves and a "leggy" stretched-out appearance. Also expect plants to grow slower and have fewer blooms when light is less than desirable. It is possible to provide supplemental lighting for indoor plants with lamps. Plants can also receive too much light. If a shade loving plant is exposed to direct sun, it may wilt and/or cause leaves to be sunburned or otherwise damaged. Conditions : Full Sun Full Sun is defined as exposure to more than 6 hours of continuous, direct sun per day.
Pruning deciduous shrubs can be divided into 4 groups: Those that
require minimal pruning (take out only dead, diseased, damaged, or
crossed branches, can be done in early spring.); spring pruning
(encourages vigorous, new growth which produces summer flowers - in other words,
flowers appear on new wood); summer pruning after flower (after
flowering, cut back shoots, and take out some of the old growth, down to the
ground); suckering habit pruning (flowers appear on wood from previous
year. Cut back flowered stems by 1/2, to strong growing new shoots and remove
1/2 of the flowered stems a couple of inches from the ground) Always remove dead, damaged or diseased wood first, no matter what type of pruning you are doing.
Examples: Minimal: Amelanchier, Aronia, Chimonanthus, Clethra, Cornus alternifolia, Daphne, Fothergilla, Hamamelis, Poncirus, Viburnum. Spring: Abelia, Buddleia, Datura, Fuchsia, Hibiscus, Hypericum, Perovskia, Spirea douglasii/japonica, Tamarix. Summer after flower: Buddleia alternifolia, Calycanthus, Chaenomeles, Corylus, Cotoneaster, Deutzia, Forsythia, Magnolia x soulangeana/stellata, Philadelphus, Rhododendron sp., Ribes, Spirea x arguta/prunifolia/thunbergii, Syringa, Weigela. Suckering: Kerria How-to : Planting Shrubs Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and deep enough to plant at the
same level the shrub was in the container. If soil is poor, dig hole even wider
and fill with a mixture half original soil and half compost or soil
Carefully remove shrub from container and gently separate roots. Position in center of hole, best side facing forward. Fill in with original soil or an amended mixture if needed as described above. For larger shrubs, build a water well. Finish by mulching and watering well.
If the plant is balled-and-burlapped, remove fasteners and fold back the top of natural burlap, tucking it down into hole, after you've positioned shrub. Make sure that all burlap is buried so that it won't wick water away from rootball during hot, dry periods. If synthetic burlap, remove if possible. If not possible, cut away or make slits to allow for roots to develop into the new soil. For larger shrubs, build a water well.
Finish by mulching and watering well.
If shrub is bare-root, look for a discoloration somewhere near the base; this mark is likely where the soil line was. If soil is too sandy or too clayey, add organic matter. This will help with both drainage and water holding capacity. Fill soil, firming just enough to support shrub. Finish by mulching and watering well. How-to : Pruning Flowering Hedges Careful selection, planting and initial pruning is critical for a uniform formal or informal hedge. The safest time to prune most flowering hedges is immediately after flowering. This way you do not prune away newly forming buds if you wait until later in the year. Initially, cut back leaders and laterals by one third to one half on planting. In second season, once flowering is complete, cut back again by about one-third.
A hedge can provide privacy and shelter from wind. Hedges should be sloped at a gentle angle, wider at the base, to deflect wind and avoid snow damage. Stretch a line between two stakes for a level top. Cut a template from heavy cardboard for a consistent shape and move it along the hedge as you cut. Shears or an electric trimmer should be held parallel to the line of the hedge. How-to : Making a Hedge Hedges can be trained to be informal with only occasional shaping or to have a more formal shape with judicious pruning.
Shear off the tops 2 to 6 inches several times during the first two seasons. Shearing of the tops and sides will promote branching. A common mistake people make is to cut the sides at a 90 degree angle. In this case the top growth shades the bottom resulting in a leggy open canopy. It is best to cut the sides at an angle so that they flare out at the bottom. This will ensure healthy and compact growth all the way down to the bottom of the shrub.
Prevention and Control Remove affected plants and their roots, and discard surrounding soil. Replace with plants that are not susceptible, and only use fresh, sterilized soil mix. Hold back on fertilizing too. Try not to
over water plants and make sure that soil is well drained prior to planting.
This fungus is not treatable by chemicals.
Rhizoctonia Root and Stem Rot symptoms look similar to Pythium Root Rot, but the Rhizoctonia fungus seems to thrive in well drained soils. Pest : Leaf Miners Leaf Miner is actually a term that applies to various larvae (of moths, beetles, and flies) that tunnel between upper and lower leaf surfaces, leaving a distinctive, squiggly pattern. A female adult can lay several hundred eggs inside the leaf which hatch and give rise to miners. Leaf miners attack ornamentals and vegetables.
Prevention and Control: Keep weeds down and scout individual plants for tell-tale squiggles. Pick and destroy these leaves and take advantage of natural enemies such as parasitic wasps. Know the Growing Degree Days (GDD)* for your area to target insecticide sprays when most beneficial for controlling the specific leaf miner. Seek a professional recommendation and follow all label procedures to a tee. *GDD numbers should be available from your local Cooperative Extension office. Pest : Scale Insects Scales are insects, related to mealy bugs, that can be a problem on a wide variety of plants - indoor and outdoor. Young scales crawl until they find a good feeding site. The adult females then lose their legs and remain on a spot protected by its hard shell layer. They appear as bumps, often on the lower sides of leaves. They have piercing mouth parts that suck the sap out of plant tissue. Scales can weaken a plant leading to yellow foliage and leaf drop. They also produce a sweet substance called honeydew (coveted by ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface fungal growth called sooty mold.
Prevention and Control: Once established they are hard to control. Isolate infested plants away from those that are not infested. Consult your local garden center professional or Cooperative Extension office in your county for a legal recommendation regarding their control. Encourage natural enemies such as parasitic wasps in the garden.
You will often
hear loam referred to as a sandy loam (having more sand, yet still plenty of
organic matter) or a clay loam (heavier on the clay, yet workable with good
drainage.) The addition of organic matter to either sand or clay will result
in a loamy soil. Still not sure if your soil is a sand, clay, or loam? Try
this simple test. Squeeze a handfull of slightly moist, not wet, soil in your
hand. If it forms a tight ball and does not fall apart when gently tapped
with a finger, your soil is more than likely clay. If soil does not form a
ball or crumbles before it is tapped, it is sand to very sandy loam. If soil forms a
ball, then crumbles readily when lightly tapped, it's a loam. Several quick, light
taps could mean a clay loam. Glossary : Drought Tolerant Very few plants, except for those naturally found in desert situations, can tolerate arid soils, but there are plants that seem to be more drought tolerant than others. Plants that are drought tolerant still require moisture, so don't think that they can go for extended period without any water. Drought tolerant plants are often deep rooted, have waxy or thick leaves that conserve water, or leaf structures that close to minimize transpiration. All plants in droughty situations benefit from an occasional deep watering and a 2-3 inch thick layer of mulch. Drought tolerant plants are the backbone of xeriphytic landscaping. Glossary : Pruning Now is the preferred time to prune this plant.

"We the People." Individually, those are three very simple words, but together, that phrase has served as the foundation for the greatest democracy the world has ever known. It evokes our belief that by working together, we can responsibly create a brighter future. For more than a decade though, South Carolina has been the testing ground for a new, divisive style of politics that goes directly against everything inherent in those three words. And as a result, the entire state has suffered.
The record of "one-party control" in South Carolina demonstrates that business as usual is not working for the people of this great state. In order to get South Carolina back on the right track, we must begin to work together to build "a more perfect union."
South Carolina's voters have a choice in the upcoming elections.
This is a chance to do a performance review, evaluating the policies and leaders of each party to decide which party and its members really line up with what you believe in.
As Democrats, we believe in fairness and opportunity. Our country was built upon the idea that if you work hard and play by the rules, you can achieve the "American dream" and create a better future for your children.
But right now, after 10 years of Republican leadership – and especially under Gov. Nikki Haley – South Carolina has one of the worst economic mobility rates in the country, and has been ranked as one of the hardest places to earn a living.
As Democrats, we believe in the South Carolina where a poor little boy in Orangeburg, like me, can grow up one day to become the first in his family to go to college, build a nonprofit to help thousands realize the dream of college, work on the floor of the House of Representatives, buy a home for his grandparents, and even become Chairman of a political party. Our leaders have stood up for opportunity for all.
S.C. Sen. Vincent Sheheen for the past seven years has led the fight to improve, and expand 4-year-old kindergarten to improve education, ensure fiscal responsibility, and expand opportunity for all South Carolinian children.
It's about finding pragmatic solutions to build up and strengthen the American Dream – not allowing personal ambition and political rhetoric to get in the way of progress.
That requires real leadership, which we simply haven't seen from the Republican officials over the last decade – Haley most of all.
We can do better. For too long, South Carolina has been the joke of late-night TV and at the top of all the bad lists while we ride the bottom of all the good lists.
Under a decade of Republican leadership, we've seen scandals, political corruption, waste of tax dollars, poor policies and just plain incompetence dominate. With this kind of track record, no wonder they so often talk about government being the problem.
We need to drain the swamp, fix our broken government and bring in new leadership.
We believe that government – with the right leadership – can be a part of the solution. With a common-sense approach, we can reduce waste, fraud and abuse, cut back on unnecessary bureaucracy and provide for the pillars of a strong economy and life in our state.
We don't need more government, we just need the government we have to work smarter and more efficiently.
In essence, we need our government to work for us and not against us.
So as we stand at this crossroads, with a big decision ahead, I urge you to take a fresh look at the values and practices of each of the parties in South Carolina and how they line up with your values and expectations.
If you've had it with broken, secretive, incompetent government; if you believe we should do better than struggling schools, crumbling roads, and being one of the most difficult places to achieve the American Dream; then together let's make a change.
I hope you'll join us as we continue to expand the Democratic Party and build our organization for the 2014 elections. There's a bright future ahead for South Carolina, and we believe we can get there together.
Jaime Harrison is chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party.

If youre thinking Congress took a step toward cooperation on immigration policy with a recent action on the STEM Jobs Act, dont believe it.
First, there is the matter of priorities. Congress has a lot on its plate between now and Dec. 31, notably budget issues and the fiscal cliff. As many believe there can be no real resolutions until after a new Congress is seated in January, it is nearly certain that the lame-duck crew on Capitol Hill now will not be able to agree on substantive immigration reforms.
The action came in the Republican-controlled House, with the GOP apparently anxious to show quickly it has softened positions on immigration policy in the wake of rejection of the party at the polls by Hispanics and other minorities.
By a 245-139 vote, the House approved the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) Jobs Act that would make green cards accessible to foreign students graduating with advanced science and math degrees from U.S. universities. The legislation is supported by high-tech industry, which is looking for qualified workers amid the reality of foreign students receiving nearly 60 percent of U.S. engineering doctorates and more than 50 percent of doctorates in mathematics and computer science.
GOP leaders also added a provision making it easier for immigrants working in the country legally to bring their spouses and children to the United States while they wait for their visa applications to be approved. ...
But as much pro-business and pro-family sense as the changes make, they represent little more than symbols by Republicans who have made a name for themselves, rightly or wrongly, as anti-immigrant.
According to an Associated Press report, Democrats, including members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, reacted to STEM passage by calling the GOPs hand on its intent. They note the legislation offsets projections of 55,000 new permanent-residency visas by eliminating a program that provides green cards to people with traditionally lower rates of immigration, particularly those from Africa. ...
Before being attacked from the right more than a half-decade ago when then-President George W. Bush made immigration reform a priority, South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham was out front in supporting a comprehensive approach.
Now, in a new bipartisan effort, he is joining Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., in pitching changes that would bolster security at the borders while providing a pathway to citizenship for the millions in the country illegally.
With the election providing new incentive for cooperation, Republicans and Democrats should get behind Graham and Schumer in aggressively pushing the effort toward big-picture solutions. The immigration rhetoric has gone on long enough.

Ancestry.co.uk have been busy expanding their collection of military databases. We all know Ancestry is the place to go for First World War service records, but they have also added records from a couple of possibly overlooked conflicts.
UK, Waterloo Medal Roll, 1815 – contains details of approximately 39,000 men who fought at the Battle of Waterloo, and a couple of earlier actions. The details for each man are pretty basic, but they may point the way to other avenues of research. These records were original published by The Naval & Military Press, but originate from The National Archives (MINT 16/112).
UK, Casualties of the Boer War, 1899-1902 – contains details of 55,000 British and colonial soldiers
who were killed (including one by crocodile), wounded, captured, or who died of disease during the Second Boer War. This includes more than 20,000 men who died, and 23,000 who were injured. Like the Waterloo Medal Roll the details for each man is pretty basic, it is just an index after all. Again this collection comes from The Naval & Military Press.
As I understand it, you will not find service records for the 20,000 men who died in the Chelsea Pensioners British Army service records over at findmypast.co.uk (because they didn't survive to receive a pension), so this collection is a useful alternative.
Back on more familiar ground, they have also added another database to those already available for the First World War.
Gateshead, Durham, England, Roll of Honour, 1914-1920 – whereas the two previous collections are indexes, this collection contains many photos. This Roll of Honour is a scrapbook of newspaper cuttings from the Gateshead area, featuring more than 4,000 men. If you have Gateshead ancestors you might be lucky to find them mentioned, and not just because they had been killed or wounded. This collection was indexed by the Ancestry World Archives Project, and the original scrapbook comes from the Gateshead Libraries and Arts Department.

How is everyone feeling about our half court offense? Last year that was the big critique? Do people feel this has been addressed? Last nights game made me think this was worth discussing with playoffs around the corner.
Our problems have nothing to do with Offense and honestly it doesn't have that much to do with our Defense either, we just need more effort.
I like our halfcourt offense, ESPECIALLY if we get JJ back, running pindowns, screens all game long, but even without him... I saw us running that tight pick and roll with CP3 and Blake, pick n roll with DJ and Blake, we're just drained from all the injuries, but I like our offense.
I think we're in trouble when the playoffs start. That's when teams hustle back on defense and contest every shot. One major indicator of this is how bad JJ (when healthy), Barnes, Crawford and Dudley have been against elite teams. Atlanta gave us a preview of the playoffs. Use Barnes man to double Blake and dare Barnes to shoot. I counted seven turnovers from Barnes last night
Last night game with Hawks were having problem on ball movement.
Barnes in my opinion should be the spark plug on defense by the second unit.
I buy into this. When the Clippers turn it on I think they can beat anyone in the league. But sometimes they seem to not be so focused and turn easy stuff into real challenges.
But you now what,this has been the greatest time of my NBA life and it all started with the first year Blake played. I don't care what anyone want to attribute our rise to, coach, CP3 , people wanting to play here now,blah blah,all I know is, the first year Blake played it started being fun again. And it just gets better every year.
Last night it was a lot of passing with no intention to do anything resulting in a lot of late in the clock situations and violations. That worried me. Plus blake hasn't been as effective at, to use a phrase I despise, creating his own shot. I feel we took a step back the last few games despite the streak
Why are you worried about or offense? The last three games we've scored 104, 142 & 109.
Just because Blake isn't scoring 35ppg doesn't mean he's not playing amazing basketball. He has been creating his shot beautifully if you ask me.
I think we need less ISO ball, not more.
Our ball movement has been great even without Redick. But we need Redick in order for us to maximize our talents. A bench of,Collison, Crawford, Granger, Davis, and Turkolu will give us crazy depht resembling last year
Worried about scoring in playoff situations. Turnovers have become a problem too
We never had any problems with our half-court offense at any point including last season. It was hilarious how people thought we played fast last year and got all of our points through fastbreak points(they were off turnovers, not because we ran a lot).
Our defense on the other hand....
Turnovers are a problem right now, but I have faith it will be corrected in the playoffs when every possession means something.
While last night was ugly, I looked back at the Hawks' schedule and they've lost close games to Indiana (89-85), Memphis (79-76) and Chicago (107-103) recently too. Maybe we're overanalyzing a bit.
i think its because they cancelled practice. have you guys noticed how bad they play sometimes when they don't practice?
We managed to put up 109 against the Hawks without any semblance of good defense leading to transition buckets, which is our bread and butter. The halfcourt offense is fine... it's that "D" that needs to be consistent.
We'll be fine when playoffs come around. ... I'm actually excited because I'm seeing granger find his spots and make his shots once he gets the ball. Big baby is like a rich man's turiaf/Evans combined! I love his hustle! And his screens are so effective!! Getting jj back would be great! I never thought I'd say this but Ryan is actually playing pretty well. (For the few minutes we see him)
Never really want to take too much out of one game, that's mainly what I'll say. It's looked pretty good if we look at multiple games, so it can't be good all the time.
Of course Redick would help, and right now, since he's one. Of course Crawford. Having Paul automatically makes you at least an above average half court offense, so there's also that. Season wise, it's overall been good with the starters and recently it's also been fine with the starters in a whole picture sense.
The last few games? You realize that the game before this we set a record for largest margin of victory in team history...
During out 19 game win streak, we had a few games like this against worse teams. The Hawks are a decent team mired in a slump. We'll be fine, let's not overreact to one game.
I thought it was 17.

Trade deadline looming and this is the best we can do, no big, no wingman, SMMFDH
the clippers don't need another guard, it's honestly the last thing they need, ESPECIALLY a 40 year old point guard who can only shoot at this point.
i'm sorry, but nash would be a liability come play off time because he can't defend anymore. Just like billups was last season.

And starting for the Yankees, No. 33, Brian Bruney
Now here's the story with this one. Brian Bruney is starting for the Yankees instead of Ian Kennedy due to weather concerns. A Yankees spokesman said that Joe Girardi was
concerned about a looming rain storm that was projected to hit the Kauffman
Stadium area shortly after the scheduled 7:10 p.m. start time.
If the rain passed and play resumed, the Yankees said, Kennedy would then
pitch. Interesting move by Girardi, but what kind of message do you take from this if you're Bruney?
UPDATE: And the parade of relievers continues on, as here's Billy Traber. I guess Girardi figures if he can get four innings from his bullpen and then use Kennedy for four or five, that'd be good enough. But there's a giant green blob on the radar and that might be a bit optimistic.
85 Comments
I wouldn't be surprised to see someone get called up fairly soon. I have said that the success of this team will be based around the pitching, I'm still waiting for it to show up.
I agree with you 100%, Matt. How they didn't break camp with a legit long man is beyond me. It's an absolute necessity in today's game. Here we are trying to limit the innings of 40% of our starting rotation, and we don't have a guy that can spot start? Who's making the decisions around here? Obviously, Girardi is not the guy that assembled the roster. Because if he did, he put the same one on the field that Torre would have. Can I expect a new "Scott Proctor" for Girardi? Is someone in the bullie going to have 100 appearances this season?
We all saw that this bullpen more or less was our weak spot. We have the resources to bolster it by trade or call-up, and we need to make something happen NOW.
Personally, I'm not surprised this season is basically a carbon copy of last season with the same roster basically. So it's not a surprise they have the same problems. This team is still relying too much on a shaky bullpen as they did last season. They are second in the AL only to Boston in BP appearances with 27 and second only to Detroit with 35 IP by the pen. IF this keeps up at this pace this team will burn out its pen by the early half of the second half of the season as it did last season, and we all know how that ended up. This is definitely an area of concern for this team. It is going to have to stop making the same mistakes it made last season by relying on a shaky pen. It was a mistake for the Yanks to start the season without a legit long reliever. Without a doubt it is going to have to call one up fairly soon maybe Horne or Marquez (hopefully it won't be Igawa or Rasner). It's going to have to stop the bullpen by committee just to save it from burning out. It's not like this pen has the talent to do that to begin with. IF it keeps up it may also have to rethink how it will limit innings for Hughes, Kennedy, and Chamberlain.
The only good thing about this is that it's early in the season and no one is running away with the division so there's still plenty of time to right the ship.
You're right Chaz. The way I look at it is that if the Yankees were playing how they SHOULD be playing right now, they'd already have a 3-4 game lead on Boston. I think it would be so ironic if both Boston and New York struggled all year long with each other and kept saying "it's ok, we're still 2 ahead of Boston" and all of the sudden the year ends and Toronto's on top. Heh, that'd be kinda funny.
Something good better happen today. As some of you may be able to tell. My Bombers have me in a foul mood this morning. Win tonight, for the love of God. I really don't want to have to start drinking in April.
I love how this new format allows you to use scripts to format your post, and then promtly drops all your formatting when you click submit. It leaves a jumbled and illegible mess. Can we get the old site back? This new one SUCKS.
Frankly, I'm not going to tolerate this crap. I got an ear full of, "It's early."; and "The bats will come around."; and "Injuries killed us."; and "There's alot of baseball left."; and my favorite, "It's only April." last season.
It's time to right the ship now. Here are the things that I am seeing that are costing us wins so far this season.:
Farnsworth is still a world class loser. No control, and no poise.
Cano is going to have to learn to be patient at the plate. Nothing pisses me off more than a guy who swings at the first pitch.
Wilson Betamit should not see playing time…ever. Who decided to send down Duncan to get Gonzalez when he can actually HIT? Brian Cashman is a bafoon!
Obviously, this batting order needs shaken up. Cano should not be hitting in the 6 hole. Giambi most definitely should not be hitting 5th. If they aren't hitting, move others into those spots that are. Matsui should be hitting in that 5 hole. At least he is getting hits, and already has 2 dingers. Giambi should be hitting 8th while Cano bats 7th after Posada. Until Cano can work a count, he shouldn't get a whiff of the 2 hole.
I thought that Girardi was agressive? Where are the hit-and-runs? Bunts? Stolen base attempts? Hell, LEAN INTO ONE AND GET YOUR CARCASS ON BASE!
We need to stop using the weather, injuries, age, or anything for that matter as excuses for LOSING. The other teams that are kicking our *** seem to be handling the same conditions JUST FINE. The Yankees need to check the logo on the uniform they are wearing, and then check behind their zipper to see if there is anyone on the squad who is packing a set. GET IT DONE, A-Holes! Stop embarrassing yourselves!
Blah, blah, blah. The Red Sox are under .500 too. So f-ing what? We should be using the time that they are struggling to get and early lead. There are many ways to win baseball games besides scoring 11 runs. Aside from that laugher with Tampon Bay, we have been "in" every game. Freaking MAKE something happen! Stop waiting for it to "come around". Jeez. Out.
I suppose the conversation also has to show the NEGATIVES that continue and for me that includes: 1. hitting with RISP. No need to say more. 2. Also they GOTTA stop hitting those week ground balls with runners on. Are they leading the majors in GIDPs so far? 3. Giambi and Cano. Is this going to happen again? Heck, you don't need to be a stud right now. Just don't be completely worthless. 4. Farnsworth. I hate to pick on the guy, but 2 walks, 1 strikeout, and that awful awful 0-2 slider.
I wasn't really too upset by the solo shot Farnsworth gave up. I mean stuff like that happens. Just say your bad words, kick some dirt, and get back to work. What KILLED me was that 0-2 pitch. That was just inexcusable. At the moment it kind of felt like the game. I was all excited that we were going to get through 5 innings with the bullpen and only give up 1 run, then bam.
I guess it's STILL early enough that I'm still willing to take positives away from the game:
1. Bruney? Who the heck was that pitching?!
2. It was nice to see a few doubles by the Yankees. Maybe we can start stringing some of these hits together so they start making some runs.
3. Kennedy actually didn't look all that bad to me. His line was nothing to write home about, but AT LEAST that first run should never have happened (thank you again Matsui). His control was way better and it even looked like his velocity was up. I'm anxious to see his next start.
We can try to blame Farnsworth all we want but a pitcher is going to give up runs. We're averaging what 1.8 runs a game this season????? I think it's a lot to expect your whole pitching staff to have sub-3.00 eras in the AL East (or anywhere in MLB).
Here's how the whole game comes down, just from the 1 inning I watched –
1. Someone teach Melky how to run bases when the ball is hit in the infield.
2. Gonzales ABSOLUTELY bunts in that situation in the 7th.
3. Girardi ought to convene a kangaroo court to fine Cano EACH AND EVERY TIME he swings at the first pitch, wasting a double by Damon that would have scored Melky had Gonzales bunted and then there'd have only been two outs with Damon on 3rd and Abreu coming up.
We look like a carbon copy of the start of last season. The only difference? Mo has 3 saves already.
Ugggh. I won't say that was a COMPLETE waste of time and money… but i guess I just did.
While I too was puzzled with the move by Girardi, I can now see WHY he made that choice.
We arrived about 6:40 ish… it was overcast but all was well. No sooner than the first pitch was thrown it was coming down and not just a sprinkle. I'd say a good half of the attendants made their way to the concourse in the first inning.
Now then… Aside from my disdain for Farnsworth, who AGAIN comes in an just ruins the efforts of those before him… I'm actually ticked off at the Royals or MLB for NOT calling this game early.
I'll admit I don't know exactly what criterion they use to call them but it damn sure must be $ related in all aspects.
It rained from pertinere the first pitch 'til we left in the sixth (hey we had a 2 1/2 hour drive to make too); and it was pathetic how that field looked. You could visibly see puddles at Short and at Third, not so much at First though.
My personal opinion is that the Royals and/or MLB deliberately did not call this game as they should've. I have to say that truly, we had at least 1/3 of the fans there tonight (not unlike any game KC hosts the Yankees). A good percentage of those people come from out of state. MLB would have to refund all tickets to people outside the 60 mile radius… which I can only presume to be some pretty big bucks for the Royales. No way this game should've been played. The forecast did not call for rain until 9pm or later (shows just what forecasters know).
I know this is part and parcel to the game in the month of April but it is a bit ridiculous; it doesn't make any sense to me why southern teams aren't hosting the entire month of April to the extent we can make that happen.
Just wait until Minnesota opens their new stadium without the roof they lobbied for. They'll be playing doubles all summer.
I try very hard to support our boys, but I can't stand Farnsworth, I just can't. He was 0-2 to the batter then gave up an RBI on pitch 3. I even predicted it was coming to my godson. And as for the Homer… sheesh. The guy had to groove that ball so damn good to give the batter any chance of getting good wood on it, it was THAT pathetic. The wind was blowing in/left and hard… a good 15-25 mph. No one had even put a ball over our D's head yet to that point, but Farnsworth manages just fine.
Even Greinke pitched well but we got a nice double from A-Rod that went for naught and had other chances go down in flames by the likes of Cano swinging at iffy pitches (1-1 count w/runners in scoring position).
I still think that it was ridiculous not to call the game; regardless. Girardi made a smart call, but MLB didn't seem to agree with his call and then he had to pay for it by making our pen suffer and we STILL had to use Kennedy in a meaningless situation (and of course by then the game was official and we we're on the wrong side of the score!)
Oh well… I still enjoyed going, but I think you can be sure that I'm not going to risk another April game in KC, FORGET IT. I'd much rather wait and catch them in Minnesota or take the chance that the Yanks actually play KC more than a home-home every year (like they have been for about the last ten years).
Yeah we do look like we did last year. Too soon to declare doomsday on the season but we're not exactly getting anything to hang our hats on either (unless you count Abreu). I am not as optimistic as some of you; I think Toronto is a better club this year, they could well outdo us. The O's seem to be the recipients of some lucky breaks and scheduling (although they did beat a supposedly tough M's team).
I don't see the Red Sox repeating… or even winning this division. Right now they're no better off than we are, they've got Beckett and Dice-K, the rest may as well be named Farnsworth. Beckett is showing his human-ness and I think Dice-K will get hit late April or early May when the heat is up enough that players aren't half-freezing. I know that both teams have to play in the same weather, but weather does affect older bodies differently than younger ones. So yes I do believe it can have an affect. Does it give them an excuse? Not really no, but I do think it can be a factor.
I can live with our youngins having rough outings. I can't stand to see our organization continue to spout belief and faith in a guy that has done nothing, absolutely nothing to better this team. Farnsworth and Betemit are not benefitting this team at all (not that I have to tell any of you that). Salary is one thing, but production is another. I thought that was what MLB was all about. Who produces… Doesn't matter what their salary is, if they can help they should. While yes, our BP has a lot of holes, are any of our other options any worse than Farnsworth? I see no improvement from this guy, the same inconsistent consistency, just like Betemit. How can our management keep coddling these egos at such a price?! Bottom line, if you're in the Bigs, you shouldn't need coddled. The guy has no command… so what if he can throw 96? If you groove a 96mph ball, MLB hitting can and will eventually catch up to it. When you have no command… well then you get Kyle Farnsworth. I'd take ten Mussina's over one Farny any day.
Ok, rant complete, I'm off to bed.
Maybe the Cashman mafia
Anyway, we have had a poor start, and injuries have hurt us, but we are tied with the Red Sox and only half a game back on Toronto. As long as we stay in touch with these two teams till we work out our issues we have a damn good chance at winning the AL East. I know it's a bit early to be talking bout that, but I can't help it. I'm a Yankee fan, spoiled by success.
The important thing is this season we have to continue the youth movement and not jump all over the team if we do badly. I can't remember the last time our team will actually improve next seaon in terms of quality, rather than get worse.
Whoa whoa. They optioned DUNCAN?! I'm all for bring up Gonzalez. That's fine, but Duncan? So let's get this straight. They optioned down a guy who can play both outfield and infield, and can sub Giambi against a tough lefty, and can pinch hit late in a game, and is a decent hitter. Yet they keep a guy who can't hit from either the left or the right side and can only play the infield. What is going on? My fiancee just asked if Betemit has mafia connections. Can anyone confirm or deny that?

Yup Matt. Sleepwalking. That's the way to put it. It's frustrating because I actually thought what Girardi did today was quite genius. However, the Yankees made it look suspect when the anemic offense and shoddy defense (Matsui's GOTTA catch that one) reared their ugly heads once again. Enough GIDPs. Enough 1 or 2 pitch at bats. Let's start working these pitchers again, getting into deep counts, and actually hitting balls HARD. That's the Yankee offense I remember.
I'm not panicking, yet. I think it's safe to say that Baltimore, KC, and Tampa won't be able to keep it up. We see this kind of thing every season. What I would to see though, is for this team to break its string of slow starts at the beginning of every season, and actually show some life. I'm getting tired of these guys sleep walking through these games!!
Looks like the Red Sox are going through their own season pains right now as well, so let's not get too panicky, because this seems like a league wide infection. What's a little amazing to me is how bad teams like Baltimore, Kansas City, and Tampa Bay seem to be having success! Maybe we switched rosters or something. Detroit's about to win their first game! Wholy crap!
So far this season has been a carbon copy of last season, with injuries, an inconsistent offense, an unsettled pitching situation, etc. How freaky is that? This team may need to bring up another pitcher soon, it's just burning through its bullpen way too much already, again!!!!!!
What the hell is this? Kennedy being scratched from a start due to weather I can understand. What I do not understand is how the heck this bullpen is going to recover.
Call me faith-less or… whatever. I'm going to go with logic here and say that if this team keeps this up, they'll be lucky to graze 90 in the win column. The pitchers are inconsistent, the offense is streaky. I can understand that Jeter and Posada are out, but this is no two man lineup. Where's A-Rod, Giambi, Cano, Matsui, Damon, Abreu and co. at? Any ML team would be happy to have these guys penciled in their lineups, yet we have them all and they're not performing. It's still the first week of the season, and maybe the team is still in feel-around mode. Let's hope we can get off to a better series in Boston and next week in general. So far, the club's just not tputting it all together, but they'll figure something out… hopefully.
In order to do that, the pitching is going to have to provide solid top three production ( Wang, Mussina?, Hughes ). The back end needs to stay consistent, but I think Pettitte belongs in the two spot, not Mussina. Kennedy is going tom have an adventurous season this year, because– well — it's his first year with the big guys and he's feeling the pressure. Hughes is ahead of him on the maturation curve, but even he will go out there throwin' blind at times.
Next, the O. Where is the O? Wake up! Like I said, let's hope theior just feeling their way around since it's the first week, and m,aybe the put it all togther with a fresh start in Boston on Friday.
Once again, the offense is a no-show, the only good thing about this is that it only took Gonzalez 1 game to show that he was capable of producing offense, something Betamit has never done.
How is this still playing? There's a puddle behind 2nd base. Abreu's slide showed how wet it was out there
oops. It came up with an error about too many posts in too short a time, maybe I shouldn't have refreshed.
Come on some runs and some rain!!!!!!!!!
well rightly so. I remember feeling a bit uneasy about it myself at the time. You spend so much time hating on the Sox and Damon, then the next thing you know he's high-fiving Jeet & Co in the Yankee clubhouse

Traber? He must have some spare innings in him.
Did Damon leave the Royals in bad circumstances or something? Pretty harsh reception he got there.
You have to give Bruney a lot of credit, 4 Ks 2 innings, 0 runs.
Bad weather again tomorrow…
Doesn't matter how good a pitcher's stuff is, if he has no control he is going to hurt the team which means he can't be trusted.
Bruneye would walk in run or walk a couple and then give up a 3 run jack while trying to hard to throw strikes.
Betemit is a backup utility infielder, he is not suppost to be starting.
I give Bruney another inning, will he beat the weather?
This in, Shelly Duncan optioned to AAA. So that garbage Bet "You thought I was going to get cut"amit survives, for now. Just wait buddy it's coming!!!
The weather dosn't look good for tonight nor tomorrow… My guess is they didn't want Kennedy to start up and then have to shut down and waste using him, or having him pitch a few innings and then wait during a delay, making him ineligible to pitch again…. This game looks like it's gonna be delayed any second now.
Does that mean they expect game to be called and what Kennedy to go tomorrow in a double header?
Bruney? Bruney? Bueller?
what in the wide wide world of sports is going on?
There's 9 innings in a game, have we not seen a rocky start by any of our pitchers? Have some faith, if you call yourself Yankees "fans"..
Lets not go down that road with Igawa, Horne, and Wright again. We all know where that will lead. Marquez or Horne are the most obvious options other than Chamberlain.
Good to see Posada won't be DL'd. Just keep Molina as starter until he comes back.
Is Ian really injured? That is so weird. As of like 2minutes before the game he was the pitcher. Did something happen two minutes before the game?? Is it the weather again?
2nd batter 6 pitches…we have a problem chief. It is gonna be a short night for Bruneye. 20 + pitches/inning and he's a reliever.
Bruney over Wells or Clemens for one start……L L L L L.
Bruney first batter, 8 pitches but he got the out.
Basically there is no one on the roster other than Joba who could start.
Not a bad idea about moving Joba in as the emergency starter. Personally, I would rather see Bruney than Clemens or Wells. I wonder if Kennedy is feeling well or if he hurt himself.

Rivera used to know how to start but you don't want him throwing that many pitches. I guess it was too late to get someone from Scranton.
Yikes, call the paramedics. I'd rather have Wells. Kennedy could be going to triple A and a trade might be going down. Is Clemens still trespassed?
oh god you're kidding me.
Not only are we going to lose, we're going to burn out the pen just in time for Fenway Park

I don't know quite what happened last week, I didn't really achieve a great deal, in fact I am struggling to remember what I did achieve this week. I guess I have been a bit lazy this week, I have had opportunities to do family history but have been distracted by other things.
I did get started on capturing details from the National Probate Calendar, but I didn't get far. One entry I did look at was the entry for Thomas DRIVER (my 3x great-grandfather) and this illustrated one of the problems of these entries. The names of the two executors, his daughter and son-in-law, lead to tracing them and their children. It is a good problem to have, but it makes it all very time consuming.
One positive thing that I did do last week was join Surrey libraries. My week means that I have the opportunity to visit Horley library during my lunch break and after work, in fact it will probably be easier to visit Horley library than my local library at Horsham. The main benefit of library membership is access to their online library including the Times Digital Archive and Nineteenth Century Newspapers websites.
I need to try and get focused again this week, I suppose I have been spending more time writing about family history than actually doing any research. I guess it boils down once again to being more organised.
I need to order the copies of wills that I said I was going to last week, and I need to process the two BATEMAN certificates that I didn't get around to working on last week. Apart from that I will probably just work on capturing more probate entries.
