We went through the Energy Conservation Program and I can say that the company did just what they said they would do. Our utility bills are lower and our house is more quiet. They gave us an energy savings guarantee of 30% and we got it!! I'am very happy with everything in this program, it is awesome! Anyone who has a house that is older that 10 years should do this program, because it is worth it. Superior you're the BEST.
I had all my windows replaced last week by Superior Home Improvement, and couldn't be happier. When they were finished, my home was as clean as when they started. Not only that, they sent people to clean the windows after they were done. It is so quiet in my house now, I no longer have to wear ear plugs in order to sleep at night. Thank you Superior Home Improvement. I would recommend them to anyone.
I recently had my windows done by Superior. They were great to work with. My windows look amazing!! They gave me an incredible deal that beat any competitor that was offering the same quality of window. My favorite part was the home energy audit. My home was in need of some energy updates- things I never would have thought of or ever got to doing myself- they came in and took care of everything for me. The workers were awesome! They were quick and efficient. David is good man that cares about people. Al works very hard and knows his stuff. Richard runs a great company and cares about his workers and his customers!
We had our windows replaced by Superior and they did a great job. They also performed an energy conservation plan on our home which included insulation, air sealing, lighting, and other improvements and we are very pleased with the work. The workers were very efficient and polite. We also spoke to Richard the general manager several times and he is a very sweet and kind person. I read another review here and I cannot believe that it is a real experience. Superior was better than other contractors we have hired in the past. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to have their homes improved. I give them 5 stars!
Superior Home Improvement installed a beautiful triple pane bay window in our home it has made such a difference in lowering our bills and keeping our house warm for this cold weather we also we live by train tracks and it has made our home so much quieter. The workers were very friendly and did an excellent job. I love the customer service!!! I highly recommend Superior to all my friends and family as we are so pleased with the results of our remodel. Thanks so much Superior for making our home a more efficient place and saving us money!!!
Superior home Improvement did my windows six months ago. Not only are they beautiful,my utilities are down almost 50%. I'm in awe. I loved there customer service. I have recommended them to all my friends and family!
My husband and I had Superior Home Improvement install triple pain windows throughout our home a little over a month ago. We are so pleased with the quality of these windows. We live just off the freeway and were having to deal with a lot of traffic noise, which at certain times of the day was extremely irritating. The new windows have reduced the noise so much that we really have to consentrate to hear it now.
We have also noticed that our furnace and air conditioner are on a lot less. We set our furnace at 75 and it is comfortable all day. With the old windows it was 78 and we were still cold.
The workmen that did our windows did a great job and everything was done in one day. We are so pleased with what we have now to enjoy for years to come.

superior home improvements have just replaced my roof in August 2012. they did a very good job and were finished in 2 and a half days. The workers were very professional and answered all of my questions. i will tell my family and friends about how satisfied that i am.

Don't Sign a contract With them – DON'T SIGN A CONTRACT WITH THEM…Very Very Very Poor Work and attitude… After the very nice sales person made lots for promises and left superior came in, well some of his sub contractors came in and did some of the worst work I have ever seen. I fixed most of the cruddy work myself on my on time and dime because when I complained to Richard Johnson the owner he proceeded to yell and be very aggressive towards me. Every time his so-called sub-contractors attempted to fix the problem they would mess it up worse because they were so un-skilled. Then the work done, as poorly as it was crafted in terms of looks, was not passed by the home efficiency people. I now have all my windows looking worse and are not much more efficient. When I felt I shouldn't pay for such poor work Richard Johnson began yelling and threatening just like his subs had done during the project. He threatened to place a lean on the house based on the "Contract" he insisted I sign in the beginning. Again DON'T SIGN A CONTRACT.
THE BEST SERVICE AND PRODUCTS! – We decided to have Superior perform their Energy Conservation Program on our home because we had very high utility bills. To begin with we had Jeff Williams do an energy assessment on our home and he was very professional and thorough. They provide you with a detailed energy report with infrared photos of your home. After assessing where the energy losses were, Superior performed air sealing throughout our home and blew in attic insulation to an R60. Al Wagstaff then replaced our old aluminum windows with the best triple pane windows that really are incredible. We had them replace all of our lighting with energy efficient lighting and two programmable thermostats. They even installed balloons in our fireplaces which eliminates draftiness. We are very pleased with what Superior has done for our home and our utility bills have lowered by about 50%. I read a couple of these other reviews and all I have to say is that our experience was that Superior was the easiest and the nicest people to work with and their work was just like their name, Superior! Five Stars!!!

Unfiltered and delightfully unadulterated, Claudia Cuvée will continue to evolve and should age as well as the finest white wines of Chateauneuf-du-Pape and St.-Joseph. In an early tasting, this Marsanne showed lovely poached pear aromatics with grilled bread and warm brown spice. Custardy lemon notes add a vibrant attraction to the nose. The palate is exceptionally integrated, where the fruit marries perfectly with the oak and rich, brulee-like flavors dominate. The plushness carries through to the smooth, toasty tones of the finish.
With 45% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre, and 25% Syrah, these three varieties that shine at Alta Colina vineyard create a blended wine with a gorgeous and complex nose. Cherry, strawberry, and dried rose petal aromas come together with oiled leather and berry thicket, leading to a very bright, fruit-forward mouth. Smoky oak flavors emphasize the velvety tannin and hint at cocoa and black pepper. The wine's exceptional balance progresses nicely to a clean finish, both mineral and fruity.
Block 2 makes up half of the Toasted Slope and, for the first time, we've chosen to bottle a small sub-section of that block as a standalone. Block 2 Bio has been farmed hyper-organically since we planted it in 2005. In 2010 we felt it is an especially unique expression of what Alta Colina Vineyard can produce and we didn't want to lose that by blending it into the Toasted Slope. This wine is leaner in style than its counterpart and deserves a chance to show itself.
Old 900 shows the earthier, more old-world side of Syrah, with concentrated fruit, violet, and turned-earth aromas. Oak is judiciously applied and beautifully integrated, lending a smoky and cocoa-like nuance to the wine's tight-knit fruit. Full-bodied yet possessing seamless acid balance, the mouth is as focused as the nose and finishes with dusty plum notes.
The 2011 Ann's Block may stain your stemware! As this Vineyard block continues pushing its root system deeper into the shallow rocky soils it is becoming more and more concentrated. Upon popping the cork you will be greeted with heavy aromas of ripe blackberries and hints of creamy vanilla. If you possess the willpower, with a day or two of air exposure these aromas will soften into those of delicate dried flowers. The wine is showing some youthful exuberance on the finish in the form of slightly rambunctious tannin. If you choose to open this wine before 2016, we recommend opening the bottle a few hours before serving.
Drink now through 2022.

Two farmers commit suicide in Odisha
Bhubaneswar, Nov 22 : At least two farmers committed suicide in Odisha following crop failure, their families said Friday.
Dasarathi Nayak, 32, of Nayagarh district's Podagarh village, about 100 km from state capital Bhubaneswar, ended his life Wednesday by consuming pesticide. He is survived by his wife and two minor children.
"His wife and children said that Nayak was upset after his crops were damaged due to the cyclone and subsequent floods," police station inspector-in-charge S.K. Sahu told IANS.
The family said he was not able to repay the loan which he had taken from some local people to grow vegetables on his four acres of land.
He was taken to a hospital Wednesday evening where the doctors declared him dead.
In the other incident, another farmer, Lakhmidhar Pradhan allegedly committed suicide at Pakhar village in Balasore district Wednesday.
He reportedly failed to repay Rs.30,000 which he had borrowed from local people.
Pradhan's crops were damaged after the field remained submerged for several days after Cyclone Phailin and the floods, his family members said Friday.
The cyclone hit the state's coast Oct 12 and the floods which followed it have damaged crops on more than 1.2 million hectares in the state, officials said.
"During the last 20 years, the condition of farmers has worsened in Odisha. According to national crime record bureau, more than 4,000 farmers have committed suicide in the state since 1996," farmer leader Lingaraj said.
"It is most unfortunate that the state government has always been on denial, instead of investigating such incidents," he said.
Senior Biju Janata Dal leader and cabinet minister Damodar Rout, however, said the government has not received any report of farmers' suicide due to crop failure after the recent disaster. If anybody has committed suicide, it must be for some other reason, he told IANS.

Hawthorn Park is having its unpaved trails improved. More than five miles of walking trails are having low areas filled with stone, then a mixture of small stone and agricultural lime is being packed down. The cost of the project, expected to be completed next week, will be no more than $7,000.
"It has been at least 10 years since this was done at Hawthorn," parks superintendent Kara Kish said before Monday's Park Board meeting. "It should be done every six to seven years."
Hawthorn Park has nearly two miles of paved trail, which is considered handicap accessible. The parks department is also using GPS marking to map out trails at the park and get exact mileage of trails to be maintained, said Adam Grossman, assistant park superintendent.

Conservationists Label Zimbabwe Poaching Epicenter

Conservationists Label Zimbabwe Poaching Epicenter
Conservationists Label Zimbabwe Poaching Epicenter
Global environmental and wildlife watchdogs have named Zimbabwe and South Africa as the epicenter of poaching of the endangered rhino in Southern Africa. In their latest joint report released last week, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) the worlds oldest and largest global environmental organization and wildlife trade monitoring network TRAFFIC said since 2006 95 percent of the poaching in Africa has occurred in Zimbabwe and South Africa.
These two nations collectively form the epicenter of an unrelenting poaching crisis in southern Africa, said Tom Milliken of TRAFFIC, an organization that works to ensure that trade in wild plants and animals is not a threat to the conservation of nature. The report, which has been submitted to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) ahead of its 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (CoP15) in March, documents a decline in law enforcement effectiveness and an increase in poaching intensity in Africa.
"The situation is most serious in Zimbabwe where rhino numbers are now declining and the conviction rate for rhino crimes in Zimbabwe is only three percent," the report said. "Despite the introduction of a number of new measures, poaching and illicit horn trade in South Africa has also increased," it said, adding that the trade is being driven by Asian demand for horns and is made worse by increasingly sophisticated poachers, who now are using veterinary drugs, poison, cross bows and high caliber weapons to kill rhinos.
Most rhino horns leaving southern Africa are destined for medicinal markets in southeast and east Asia, especially Vietnam, and also China. The report highlights Vietnam as a country of particular concern noting that Vietnamese nationals operating in South Africa have recently been identified in rhino crime investigations. Zimbabwe and South Africa are two of four countries in the world that still have significant rhino populations. The other two, all in Africa, are Kenya and Namibia.The report comes at a time when Zimbabwe has suspended wildlife hunting licenses as the country has lost 250 rhinos to poachers over the past three years. The Department of National Parks and Wildlife last week issued a statement warning permit holders currently on hunting sessions to stop hunting with immediate effect so that their permits can be verified.
Wildlife authorities in the country have found it hard to contain poaching in national parks especially after landless villagers began invading with the governments tacit approval white-owned farms in 2000. There have also been widespread reports of illegal and uncontrolled trophy hunting on former white-owned conservancies now controlled by powerful politicians from President Robert Mugabes ZANU PF party.
The government however denies that politicians are illegally hunting game and insists it still has poaching under control. Among other things IUCN works on biodiversity and greening the world economy by supporting scientific research and bringing governments and companies together to develop policy, laws and best practice.
The Zimbabwean Wildlife Authorities office declared regarding the status of hunting for the 2009 and 2010 seasons: We advise that the suspension was solely for the purpose of verifying the authenticity of the permits. There have been several allegation of illegal hunts taking place in the country using forged permits. This may result in clients not being able to export their trophies from Zimbabwe which in turn may discredit hunting in the country. As a result it was felt prudent that all permits used for hunting this season should have their authenticity verified, hence this exercise. In addition this exercise would put the Authority in a position where it can confidently comment on the legality or illegality of the hunts. All illegal hunts will then be published and perpetrators brought to book. Furthermore the current permit system will be reviewed to add more security features to reduce or avoid the use of forged permits. We advise clients that hunting in Zimbabwe has not been stopped but that potential clients should assist in the verification process. This can be done through our offices by contacting the Business Development Manager responsible for hunting who is Mr. Tawanda Chipere, available on email@example.com or telephone +263 912 420 496 or + 263 4 792731 direct line. - Dr. Mtsambiwa, Director General, Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority.This article first appeared in the e-newsletter of African Indaba.

Whether you are walking through our many free flight aviaries, feeding the biggest wild trout you will ever see, watching the birds being fed or coming face to face with pre-history in the eyes of a Tuatara – all of us here at Rainbow Springs are proud of the role we play in conserving many of the precious native species of New Zealand. The Kiwi Encounter offers unique behind-the-scenes tours of a working kiwi nursery and hatchery. Eggs are brought to us from the wild and when they have hatched, and the kiwis are large enough to protect themselves from predators, they are released back into the wild.

Ride the Skyline Gondola to the top complex to access the Luge trails.

The Māori tradition lives on at Te Whakarewarewa, our Māori culture, and our National Carving and Weaving Schools of New Zealand. Here watch a 45min cultural show and display in a authentic meeting house. The environment alone is of enormous geological significance, with thermal activity ranging from boiling mud to the world famous 30-metre (100-foot) Pohutu geyser, erupting up to 20 times each day. Following on from this you take another journey through a world of unique thermal formations at Waitapu Thermal Wonderland. View the fascinating 'Champagne Pool" and experience the panorama of vividly colourful hot and cold pools, steaming fumaroles and hot boiling mud pools. Afterwards we drive to on the edges of the township of Lake Taupo with the largest Lake in this country. Lake Taupo is also the world's largest volcanic crater, created in one giant explosion. The ash cloud floated all over the world - ice samples from as far apart as Antarctica and Alaska have determined the explosion to have occurred in 186AD. The effects of the ash were even recorded in China and Rome. You can gather your own free volcanic souvenir from the shoreline in the form of very light pumice stones (great for cleaning off rough skin) which were spewed out in that eruption. Just about everywhere you look in the Lake Taupo region, you'll see a volcano. In the afternoon stop at the Huka Falls - these spectacular falls roar through a 15-m wide chasm before plunging a further 11-m. Here experience a 30 min thrilling jet boat ride.

It features a carefully maintained gravel path and boardwalks that wind through a native silver beech forest and lead to a swing bridge strung high above the Makarora River. The views back to the mountains of the Main Divide are absolutely breath-taking. The glacier-fed water in these deep pools is the colour of deep azure blue, and so clear that you can see right to the bottom, making the resident brown trout look like they are suspended in the air. As you exit Mt Aspiring National Park you will travel through what is known as "The Neck" a formation of land that separates two of our great South Island lakes Lake Hawea and Lake Wanaka.

hi guys i have a savage 111 300 ultra mag i bought and i am looking for suggestions for a good reliable rifle scope that will handle the recoil and not cost a arm and leg to buy. any suggestion is welcome
What is your budget?
What ranges do you plan to shoot?
Will you be shooting to Maximum Point Blank Range (MPBR) or further?
If further, do you prefer using the reticle to compensate for drop, or dials?
Also, Welcome to Eastmans' Forum!
i wold like to be able to shoot out to 700 yards comfortable and i have used the bdc reticle but not the dial i am interested in the dial meathod. my budget is about 300 to 500 dollars
You don't need as much magnification as you might think to get to 700 yards.
Here are some good options for dialing near your price range. Both are tough scopes from companies that stand behind them:
Some Leupold VX-2 w/ CDS scopes might do the trick too, but the above scopes are going to have a better view.
Leupolds are pretty tough. They have quite the torture test they put their scopes through.
For the caliber of rifle and what you are planning on doing with it, I would go with BB's recommendation of the Vortex Viper. Vortex puts out exceptionally good products for the $. Its a little over your range but I don't think you will be disappointed. Very good optics! Good luck!
I would buy a 4.5-14, 5-20, or 6-18. As for brand, Leupold, Burris, are both "good" Ziess would be better!
K...up your budget or wait...I put a vx-3 on my 300ultra...and it is worth every penny...sighted it in once 4 years ago this spring...you can get the reticle for it and dials...for not much more.
All my Leupolds have gone through quite a torture test! Just seeing all the nicks on the edge of the eye piece on my vxii that has never been knocked off of zero from any of them would prob sell Leupold alot of scopes!
Leupold IMO. My hunting partner shoots 300 win mag and he loves it. I shoot 7mm mag and 338 ultra mag and I also have Leupold on both of them and I wouldn't change them for anything. I shoot to 800 yards on both.

Skateboarding Santa
by delPiero
It may be summer, but Santa is still busy. After delivering all of last year's presents he'd lost his sled and is now on a skateboard rushing down streets of Manhattan trying to catch the north pole ferry. He has only 66 seconds before the ferry leaves. and Grinch's evil offspring are in his way, doing their best to slow him down. Score points by skating over and picking up gifts scattered all over the road, performing tricks after jumping off ramps, and by making it to the finish line as fast as possible.

A weekend of junk food binging or generally feeling unhealthy can make one consider detoxing. Detox diets are especially popular with celebrities, like Gwyneth Paltrow, who went on an elimination diet after finding out she had anemia, high cortisol levels and a vitamin D deficiency. For a few weeks, Paltrow cut out coffee, alcohol, dairy, eggs, sugar, shellfish, wheat, meat, potatoes, soy, corn and all processed foods. Paltrow and her family primarily live on a gluten free diet and she does an elimination/detox diet a few times a year.But can eliminating foods really help the body detox?

Stock up on tissues before your kids get sick.
Now that cold and flu season is officially here, you'll want to make sure your family is well-prepared for stuffy nose symptoms and other common side effects of those cold-weather health problems. Making sure kids adopt some good habits for keeping germs at bay will take some time, but there are several things any mom can do to make sure family members aren't spreading germs or making their symptoms worse.
Here are some useful tips to take care of your kids' stuffy nose symptoms:Stock up on tissues. Keep tissues in every room of the house so that kids can blow their nose as needed. Invest in some high-quality tissues that contain moisturizers and other emollients. These tissues will prevent skin irritation and are much softer than your average tissue. Encourage kids to throw away a used tissue shortly after using it so that they don't spread germs.
Run the humidifier. Keep skin moist by running a humidifier in the drier areas of the home. A humidifier can be especially beneficial for those who tend to have dry and flaky skin during the winter months. Consider putting a humidifier in the family room or a kid's bedroom this season.
Manage congestion with a hot shower. A hot shower can be very soothing for anyone suffering from stuffy nose symptoms and may also relieve congestion. A steamy shower with a touch of eucalyptus oil can be especially refreshing when dealing with cold and flu symptoms. Encourage kids to take a steamy shower before bedtime to help them relax, and to reduce congestion and stuffy nose symptoms.
Use a skin lubricant. Use a lubricant under the nose to keep dry and irritated skin as moist as possible. Moisture is essential for healing those rough and dry patches of skin that can develop around the nose during a bad cold. Use a good moisturizer or skin oil to protect, nourish, and heal inflamed skin.
Pack a stack of tissues. Whether the kids are heading off to school, a play date, or spending a few hours playing outdoors, make it easy for them to manage a stuffy or runny nose with their own pack of tissues. Miniature tissue packs are easy to carry around in a jacket pocket or small bag. Kids will need to have these on hand to avoid wiping their nose on coat and sweater sleeves. A stack of antibacterial wipes can also help to keep germs at bay this season.

Find Drug Rehabs With Sliding Scale Fees in Jefferson City , Missouri
Drug Rehabs With Sliding Scale Fees
Drug Rehabs that offer Sliding scale fees are variable costs for treatment services, or taxes based on one's ability to pay for addiction treatment. Such fees are thereby reduced for those who have lower incomes or less money to spare after their personal expenses and regardless of income a person can obtain treatment.
A drug treatment organization may have various motivations for offering a product at a sliding scale. These may include the desire to be charitable to those less able to afford addiction treatment, their ability to get a tax deduction for offering their services as charity, or their ability to benefit from the revenue even from a partial payment
Some drug rehabilitation organizations may have their profits that would have been obtained from a full-price sale subsidized by some other means. These may include charging a higher cost to a wealthier client, obtaining grants from government agencies or non-profit organizations, or obtaining a tax deduction.
Whatever the motivation the sliding scale payment method makes addiction treatment available to almost anyone.

Price Advice - Macbook 2,1
Hi everyone, posting for some price advice (I have tried searching but nothing specific enough).
I'm thinking about selling my 2006 Macbook 2,1. It's the 2ghz Core 2 Duo model and has 2gb of RAM. It will have a 120gb HDD with a clean install of Tiger (inc. discs) and will be sold with original box and a new style charger.
The case is cracked along the edges where everyone's is and there are a few other hairline cracks but nothing that impedes use.
So my question is, how much do y'all think it's worth/if you were looking for a 2nd hand Macbook, how much would you pay for one as described above?
Any help greatly appreciated!
2.0ghz Core 2 Duo
2gb RAM
GMA950 (hmm)
|Jan 29, 2013, 06:13 PM
For me....
anywhere between $200-300 tops, and please dont take offense, with reserves. It is not the standard model, having more RAM and a bigger HD than stock configurations I had seen. To me, the Tiger install discs (if original and in box with docs) are a nice bonus. But the marks in the case can discourage some buyers and you maybe have to be open about it, maybe taking some off the price to sweeten the deal, in case of serious buyers.
If selling through an online site, factor in shipping costs/fees

Ryne Sandberg sold his three-bedroom unit in a vintage building in downtown Chicago in March. He had listed it a year earlier, less than six months after Cubs President Theo Epstein handed Dale Sveum the job Sandberg always wanted when he was riding busses and airplanes around America as a manager in the Cubs' farm system.
No knock on Sveum, but as a Hall of Fame player willing to work his way up the managerial ladder, Sandberg deserved a shot. Denied first by Jim Hendry and then by Epstein, he took a job managing the Phillies' Triple-A team.
Baseball's most brilliant executive, Pat Gillick of the Phillies, was among those who dug into Sandberg's background trying to learn why his own organization had bypassed him in favor of Mike Quade and Sveum. He came away impressed with Sandberg, as did the Cardinals when he finished as runner-up in the search that led to Mike Matheny being picked to replace Tony La Russa.
All signs point to Sandberg's time coming soon.
Added to the big-league staff as third base coach after an offseason purge claimed three of Charlie Manuel's coaches, Sandberg is along on the Phillies' expensive ride to nowhere this season. You can't help but wonder if he will be the guy calling the shots when they visit Wrigley Field two months from now.
The Phillies entered Saturday 35-39, and have been below .500 for 77 of 82 days this season. The franchise lost its equilibrium when Ryan Howard tore his Achilles tendon making the last out in a classic elimination game against La Russa's Cardinals in 2011, but since then added Jonathan Papelbon, re-signed Jimmy Rollins and handed Cole Hamels a six-year, $144-million extension rather than turning him into two or three good, young pitchers, as the A's Billy Beane would have done.
Keeping Hamels was a mistake, just as it was for the Cubs to extend Carlos Zambrano on the heels of his assault on Michael Barrett and for the White Sox to extend John Danks just because Mark Buehrle was headed into free agency.
It's easier to make tough decisions when you are on a tight budget, like the one Beane manages in Oakland. But there can be a tremendous return when you trade players when they have their most value, and a look at the Athletics of 2012-13 illustrates that.
Beane widely was seen to be dooming the A's to doormat status when he traded Gio Gonzalez and Trevor Cahill after they had combined to go 28-26 on a 74-88 team in 2011. But those moves freed up the money that allowed the Athletics to steal Yoenis Cespedes from the Cubs and brought pitchers Jarrod Parker, Tommy Milone and Ryan Cook, along with pitching prospects Brad Peacock (who Beane traded for Jed Lowrie) and A.J. Cole (who Beane traded for John Jaso).
Along with homegrown, inexpensive pitchers like A.J. Griffin, Sean Doolittle and Dan Straily, the guys from the Cahill and Gonzalez trades have been the guts of a team that has embarrassed the Angels and gone toe to toe with the Rangers the last two years. Meanwhile, the grind is taking a toll in Philadelphia.
Cliff Lee, signed to a five-year, $120-million contract after the Phillies lost the 2010 NLCS to the upwardly mobile Giants — a team built around young pitching and capable of making tough decisions — and Papelbon have become frustrated by the lack of a clear road back to the playoffs. Hamels, who dropped to 2-11 after losing Friday, is trying to avoid reporters.
General manager Ruben Amaro and Manuel are doing their best to keep a business-as-usual posture. But at the very least, it would seem, the Phillies are caught in a riptide, moving toward choppy waters.
If they are smart, they will trade Lee and Papelbon before the July 31 deadline. Then they will figure a way to finesse the lineup card out of Manuel's stubborn grip, setting themselves up for their next run behind a new manager.
Manuel's contract is up after the season, and he can make Amaro fire him. Or he can do the right thing, which is to say he has had a great run and it's time to move into a different role. That's when Sandberg steps in and we find out if Hendry and Epstein were right not to make the easy decision.
Spoiler: No one has won the Triple Crown twice since Ted Williams. No one has ever won it two years in a row. Miguel Cabrera seemed a decent bet a month ago but the big guy has been almost mortal in June, which seems likely to be his least productive month in more than a year (his .955 OPS entering the weekend was his lowest since May 2012, when he was at .839).
After hitting six home runs in four games May 19-23, Cabrera had 14. He was one behind the AL leader, Chris Davis of the Orioles, but it was only a matter of time till he blew past him, right?
Not so much. Davis out-homered Cabrera 11-5 over the next four weeks, building a seven-home run edge. Adam Dunn and Edwin Encarnacion also out-homered Cabrera in that period, leaving three men in the race to take the home run crown off Cabrera's head.
Davis out-homered Cabrera 3-1 in a series at Comerica Park last week, including homers off Rick Porcello and Jose Valverde in the series finale. The homer off Porcello was a great bit of hitting, as he went to the opposite field on a good sinker on the outside half of the plate.
"I was actually looking at a lot of video before the game of balls I hit the other way, staying on balls a little bit better," Davis told the Baltimore Sun. "I feel like I've had some pitches the last few games to drive the other way, and I've kind of pulled off of them. That's something I was kind of working on before the game. He left it out over the plate and I didn't swing real hard, I just barreled it up and was able to get it over the first wall."
In limbo: While the Royals have surged since George Brett and Pedro Grifol became the hitting coach combination, it's incorrect to credit Brett for the improvement and unclear if the Hall of Famer will have a long tenure in the role.


text: We consider the modeling of time series that have an asymptotically stationary autocovariance structure and a mean function of linear regression form in which the regression vector satisfies a weakened version of Grenander's conditions, one that allows transitory regression variables of the sort used for outlier and intervention effect modeling. Neither the model's regression vector sequence nor its parametric family of invertible, short/intermediate-memory autocovariances need be correct. Convergence of both likelihood maximizing and squared-forecast-error minimizing parameter estimates are established as a consequence of uniform strong laws for sample second moments of forecast errors. Both OLS and GLS estimates of the mean function are considered. We show that GLS has an optimal one-step-ahead forecasting property relative to OLS when the model omits a regression variable of the true mean function that is asymptotically correlated with a modeled regression variable. Some inherent ambiguity in the concept of bias for regression coefficient estimators in this situation is discussed.

Summary of Iola Leroy Summary of Iola Leroy Reviews for Iola Leroy An Excerpt from Iola Leroy
A landmark account of the African American experience during the Civil War and its aftermath
First published in 1892, this stirring novel by the great writer and activist Frances Harper tells the story of the young daughter of a wealthy Mississippi planter who travels to the North to attend school, only to be sold into slavery in the South when it is discovered that she has Negro blood. After she is freed by the Union army, she works to reunify her family and embrace her heritage, committing herself to improving the conditions for blacks in America.
Through her fascinating characters-including Iola's brother, who fights at the front in a colored regiment-Harper weaves a vibrant and provocative chronicle of the Civil War and its consequences through African American eyes in this critical contribution to the nation's literature.

Hi -
I've seen several threads about enabling internet access over T-Mobile "Total Internet" and "T-zones" plans, but nothing with details about their "To Go" plan.
According to T-mobile's web page, the "To Go" plan includes T-zones:
("t-zones (free shopping for HiFi Ringers, MegaTones®, wallpapers, and more)")
Since it's a pre-paid plan, I don't think there's any way I can add a feature like a $5.99/month or $19.99/month data plan (I don't get a monthly bill, so there's no way for them to bill me).
Is there any way to make use of the included "t-zones"? Even if I can't use it for browsing all of the web (if it limits me to a 'walled garden' of special T-mobile sites), that would be better than nothing.
I've tried setting the APN to "wap.voicestream.com" and username/password to nothing. I typed the magic key sequence in the dialpad to see what IP address I received from the carrier - I got "0.0.0.0" (so, they never gave me an IP).
If anyone has had success with internet/data on a pre-pay T-mobile plan, please post details (or a link to a thread with details).
BTW: When I got my T-mobile SIM (from a T-mobile store), I purchased "SIM card only" (so, it's not a SIM removed from an already-working T-mobile To Go phone - it's just the raw SIM card).
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer!
- Paulb

well that's fantastic, problem solved.
I think you just took what I said, the wrong way there Mr. NH MASTER.... I read the article thank you.
BUT, on a good note, I gave my girlfriend a call, she is the neighboring vet here and she said, pretty much they experience it there in the kennels and people, just like me call her and ask the same question regarding this being harmful to their pets.
She told me to do essentially what I just did, move the bowls, move the coffee maker from such a warm source of heat and it will stop. I am pretty sure this is the case before, so, all is well.
I found my own solution and backed it up with a pro. I should had thought of calling her this morning before I posted, so this is finished, thank you.
well that's fantastic, problem solved.
Isn't it...
and I said it was finished. But, you like to have the last word, right? lol.
go head...
No, just happy your problem is solved. woops, that might be the last word might it? Sorry
Yes Cookie it is an airborne bacteria. I've had the same problem with dog water bowls, AFAIK, it's harmless, although I didn't read that link.
Click Here to learn how to correctly size or program a water softener.
CAUTION, as of Nov 12 2013 all YouTube videos showing how to rebuild a Clack valve have an error in them that can cause damage.
Well, it may be, but it also, comes from too much heat. I think one of the posters mentioned he had a customer in summer complain of it, hence, the summer heat. For me, it is like my good friend said, the furnace heat blowing on it. So, I just simply moved it from the vent and problem solved. As, I said, I think I had this once before and I am pretty sure I was moving stuff around in the kitchen and had moved the bowls and the coffee maker was already on the other side away from the vent.
So, like Sharon, the Vet, said, and I am repeating, if anyone has this problem to try to move the stuff, bowls etc from a window where the sun pours in, a heating vent, etc.
She said, she had to redo her kennels because of this problem. If not taken care of it can cause illness but, simply move from a heat source.
I will let you know in a couple days, a few days if it goes away and doesn't come back.
UPDATE: No more evidence of the red/pink water.
Thanks for the responses.
