A Modest Member of Parliament [Bert Kelly], "Inflation breeds moral decay," The Australian Financial Review, March 12, 1971, p. 3. Reprinted in Economics Made Easy (Adelaide: Brolga Books, 1982), pp. 133-34, as "Inflation."
Some weeks ago Mavis forbade me to write about inflation because she knows that it is a difficult and unpopular subject.
So for the last six weeks I have been dealing with the ways we can keep wage increases limited to productivity increases and so prevent price rises.
Then how we could use, through restrictive trade practices legislation, a consumer council and tariff reductions to keep prices down. The goal all the way through has been to keep prices down.
But I haven't said why we want to keep prices down. I can't, without mentioning inflation.
But Mavis has gone to visit her mother and I don't think she will see a copy of this paper, so I will take a chance.
If this column doesn't appear next week you will know she has caught up with me.
I used to think that inflation was something you did to car tyres.
Then I thought it was something that only economists had to worry about. So I wasn't surprised to find that Eccles' naturally long face grew even longer when inflation was mentioned.
But it has been hammered home to me that inflation is not just a problem for economists to worry about, nor is it just a problem for non-Labor Governments, either.
Mr Ben Chifley, when he presented his last Budget in 1949 said:
I am deeply grateful for the support that my colleagues have given me in my fight again the great danger of inflation.
I know that some of them have not readily seen the force of many of the economic theories on which I have had to act, and that they were apt to regard my ideas as fossilised. But they have stood by me.
Why do responsible people get concerned about inflation?
It is easy to see why old Fred is up in arms because he mostly sells on the export market so he is well aware of the devastating effects of cost increases in Australia, while his prices do not go up overseas.
And the chap who has saved for his old age, he knows because he sees his savings diminish in real value by inflation.
But the problem goes far deeper than that. Inflation causes a decay in the moral standards of the country.
You see it in the stock market. In ordinary times decent business standards are observed.
But as the get-rich-quick fever takes over the standard is forgotten and the crashes follow quickly afterwards.
You see it again with schoolteachers. A few years ago it would have been unthinkable for schoolteachers to go on strike and leave their pupils untaught.
You see it with the doctors too — indeed you see it everywhere. The inflation fever is beginning to devastate our community standards.
And any student of history will recognise the symptoms as similar to those occurring when other countries and other civilisations started to decay.
So for everyone's sake we have to do something about inflation. The great trouble is that almost all anti-inflationary activity is unpopular.
It is true that the general idea of cutting Government expenditure is received with rapture, but it will not be long before the inevitable refusal of the Government to do things that are both unpopular and desirable will be resented.
And unpopularity will then follow.
But cutting Government expenditure will not be enough. More unpopular things will have to come afterwards.
Action on wages, action on prices, action on tariffs, possible taxation rises, credit restrictions — all of those would certainly be unpopular with some people.
The truth is that the economy will have to be restrained by the Government.
Now sitting on the horse's head is not a process that endears you to the horse, however necessary it may be for the safety of the people in the trap, and indeed, sometimes of the horse.
But that's just what the Government has to do if it is to be a good Government.
And the trouble is that I will have to support it in its unpopular action and I don't like it, not one little bit.
I just love being popular and giving away money on everything you ask for — on pensions, on schools, on dams, on salary increases and almost everything.
Now it appears that all this is going to stop, all because of a queer economic disease called inflation.
But my immediate concern is that Mavis will read this article. I will be in enough trouble without that!

Smoke testing is scheduled to begin in several areas on campus during the week of Spring Break (March 20-24). Upon receipt of this notice, please run about a gallon of water from all faucets in your building into all sinks and showers and let it drain out. Also, pour about a gallon of water into any floor drains and if you have any dry toilets, please fill them with water.
University Facilities is evaluating the sewer system in your area by performing smoke testing. Smoke testing is a technique where smoke is blown into the sewer system, and the smoke escapes through leaks in the sewers. This evaluation work is necessary in order to locate leaks in the sewers that allow rainwater, creek water and other storm water run-off to enter the system. Frazier Engineering has been hired by Clemson University to smoke test the sewer system. During Spring Break (March 20-24), you will see uniformed crews from Frazier Engineering working along the sewer lines and at manholes.
If you have any concerns or questions regarding the work, please call the following Facilities personnel:
Scott Banks at 864-656-2565
Jay Whitmire at 864-643-6023
During the smoke testing if you have questions or concerns you may also contact Facilities Personnel by calling Facilities Dispatch at 864.656.2186 or 864.656.2187
Below is a list of buildings and areas that may be affected:
|Calhoun Courts
|Core Campus

In more recent news, while looking to use up my FSA dollars, since I wasn't going to have an FSA for 2017. I came across a site offering the option to generate full-time intermediate or readers from my prescription. Full-time intermediate being the suggested for computer work, which has been causing lots of problems when I'm wearing progressives. Finding I have to sit closer to the screen, which makes it hard to see all of its 23" or 27"....or straining to see all of it because the tiny spot that's intermediate distance is too small...
Well, the full-time intermediates I got have been great. Wondering if I should get full-time readers to help with my Kindle/iPad usage.... have until the end of April to use up the last tiny bit of my FSA rollover. (~$25.) Wonder if it's possible to get intermediate/readers lenses done? Perhaps as a bifocal.
The only downside, is I got it with a gradient tint...forgetting that it's too dark at the top for my need, probably should've gotten a light uniform tint. Though as I recall, it wasn't an option for the site I had ordered from, and trying another site didn't work as they didn't support the full-time intermediate option and generating the numbers myself couldn't be verified by an upload of my prescription...(wonder if I should ask for a formal prescription for intermediates next time....)
Guess I've been neglecting my blog in more ways than I thought...hadn't updated this progression since my post back in October 2013. But, have two recent prescriptions to add to the mix....one with my regular optometrist, and a second done as part of seeing a neuro-opthamologist at the Mayo Clinic as part of my ongoing quest to see if I have SCA, what it might be, and what its future holds for me....
But, anyways....

Felt like there should've been a Feb 2014 in there somewhere.....but I don't have access to all my files at the moment, something I'm going to want to do something about when I get home. But, nothing in my usual cloud places ....
But, wonder which is right and which should I get in glasses....well, actually, I had already ordered new glasses after the May eye exam. Had they been ready in about 7 days, I'd be wearing them right now. But, didn't get the call about them until yesterday. Wonder if I'd get new glasses with the latest prescription now....there is a Lenscrafters here.... or wait until I get home. The new prescription actually looks like its in the same ballpark as what I had been told....hadn't actually looked at my May prescription until just now as well...
Meanwhile...does the Spinocerebellar Ataxia quest continue...
But, first where should I go for supper tonight?
Well, I opted to not visit Lenscrafters at all, though I had several wonderful suppers at Chester's Kitchen & Bar, including once from 'Garden Patio Seating' (where I was
kittycater-corner from Lenscrafters.)
When I inquired back home in Manhattan, it was explained that the prescription needed to be converted from positive scale to negative scale to compare to last month's prescription. After conversion, the difference was considered within the range of what would happen if I were to get tested every day.
Back on November 25h, 2013: I started writing this post:
According to this blog, I received this PowerSource 400 on January 21st, 2008 - click here
In answer to the question at the end of that post, the answer was yes. There are 5 other PowerSource 400's in service in my home.
Anyways...back on October 28th (my 45th birthday ), about an hour after getting into bed there was a power blink....I recall being woken by the PowerSource 400 in the bedroom, but I was still able to breath, so I eventually went back to sleep. I woke in the morning to find that half my network had been down for quite some time, though I didn't see any alerts on the security system control pad.
This being the "network closet" UPS...it was providing backup power for my DSL modem, its associated router, the switch that connects the various rooms in my home together, namely the "living room" and the "back bedroom". Not sure which AP the "side bedroom" was connected to. Though the power outage knocked out my laser printer, which I haven't felt the urge to find out why. Really need to work on finding a more accessible location for it, or work on reversing the entropy in my nuclear room(s)... especially since my other printer is circling the drain, and not sure when I'll get around to getting the new inkjet printer that I've been eyeing.
Restarting the UPS, was when I finally got alerts from my security system. It was a combination of events that happened when I cycled power and events that had been waiting for the return of connectivity. The security system's primary connection is broadband, but it also has a phone line for backup (there's a cellular option, but its been out of stock whenever I've felt the urge to splurge for it....though I kind of have cellular backup anyways....)
It was the return of power that caused it to report loss and recovery of the phone line, along with the queued messages of broadband and power outages, with restores of all... Its built in backup battery had kept it up during the outage (approx 8.5 hours). The phone line from the base station is connected to an ObiHai OBi110. Which has an FXO port to allow selection of analog phone service, or in the event an outage pass through to this. In normal operation the OBi110 is making my Google Voice available to my regular phones, where the OBI110 is configured to use my other Internet gateway. The FXO port is connected to a Cobra PhoneLynx Bluetooth Cell to Home Phone Adapter which is associated with a phone with AT&T prepaid service.
Though I plan to at a later date replace both the OBi110 and PhoneLynx and cellphone with an At&t Wireless Home Phone Base. Which I have sitting, waiting for when I get around to it.
The plan is the OBi110 will move to the living room for use there, though its in associating with the planned inkjet printer replacement.
So, its time to replace the batteries...guess I'll do research on where I can get a pair. Hmmm, it uses the same kind as the pair I had replaced in my SmartUPS 1400 back on October 10th (it went around October 5th, and I ordered them on the 6th). The site provides discounts if you buy multiples. I got 5% off for getting 2, would've gotten 7% off for getting 4, or 8% off for getting 6 (9% for 8 and 10% for 10+).
I hesitate, since I'm waiting to see how the recent problem with BillMeLater goes...so needs to be sometime after Nov 5th to order. Meanwhile a storm comes in on November 3rd, and power is blinking like crazy...and I'm constantly restarting the PowerSource 400. Finally I take it out of service, and everything is just in a regular surge strip. Things remain stable (dbox stayed up straight) until this morning. But, feel that I need to put the PowerSource 400 back into service before my annual Thanksgiving trip.
After much procrastination, and lots of searching. I settle on ordering 4 such batteries from an eBay seller on November 14th. Plan to replace the batteries in my second PowerSource 400 soon, since it was purchased on December 31st, 2008 and provides backup power for my CPAP. (see here).
And finally, this morning, I decided that I've put it off too long and to replace it this morning.
Which was a challenge....
There was supposed to be a page 3, but all I had typed was the page break...so had to figure out how to open it up again. Aside from the 4 corner screws, I remembered that there's a screw behind the sticker in the middle. But, I forgot the rivets in the bottom, and that both parts need to be extracted.
Once opened, I started to disconnect the batteries, and once again threw sparks and added another mark to my screwdriver. Taking a step back, I decided there's an order of operation involved here. The answer is start with the outside connections, and then the inside ones. And, then reverse it. This time I knew the side panels interlock with the batteries to help lock them into place, so made sure the wires were clear, I noted that the neural wire for the front outlet had a kink, I made sure that all the wires were in the channel while buttoning things back up.
Surrounding this, was the challenge of getting it out from behind my headboard, though while I was down there, I found a couple missing packages of mask diffusers, I knew I wasn't using them up that quickly, but couldn't figure out why I kept running out. There was one Xyrem pill bottle, I had one night knocked both down...luckily while the empty (first dose) one went all the way down, the other was just wedged between mattress and headboard in upright position. Since I use bottles longer than a month, I usually go by how grungy the caps get...since I customize the bottles, so I can tell the two apart by touch, which matters when one has a larger dose than the other....and the caps get grunge depending on how many nights I overfill (have always had a problem measuring drinks that way.... ) Or how often they get tipped...
There were also as expected a bunch of nasal inhalers of various types...such as ones from: Olbas, Benzedrex, and Vicks.

Hopefully, this isn't a trend... but rather a strange problem that has now been treated (through the use of Muro 128 at night for the last few weeks and to taper off over the next couple...)

Wonder if there's enough time to get a new pair of glasses online cheap, before my upcoming trip (Narcolepsy Network Conference). And, to use up the remainder of my limited use FSA, which is kind of surprising to have last this long this year. Probably because of the unstable nature of my eyeglass prescription this year, I didn't get what I really wanted in a second pair of glasses this year. Maybe I'll finally get around to it next year....
Just as long as I can see the best that I can for the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who!
Well, not yet...though I've been having trouble seeing more and more the last few weeks. And, there was a evidentally measurable change in the right eye.
But, today's exam was to see if I might have Glaucoma. Had gotten a retina imaging test back in February, did another today and things look the same, so probably not Glaucoma. Though today my field of vision testing was bad all over, like a more general loss of vision.
Since the shape of my cornea has changed over the last 3 exams, he suspects its changed again though the test wasn't during the initial testing of the appointment. It got done before I left.
Gonna try some eye drops for 2-3 weeks to see if things get better, worse or not.
After I got my new glasses after my eye exam back on February 8th, things were great...but gradually they started getting back again, which was some what distressing. Especially since I had also gotten that call about the results of the Retinal Thickness Analyzer (?) showing some thinning and that I needed to plan a follow up test in about 6 months. At first the vision would start getting bad as I was heading home from work, and it subtle...though it would get pretty bad about mid evening.
But, then it was starting to get pretty bad around mid afternoon at work, so I decided I needed to get my eyes rechecked. In the inbetween time of making the appointment and the appointment today, I now feel that my vision starts getting bad before I leave for work, sometimes wonder if I should even bother (though I end up going in anyways and struggle until quitting time...)
So here's the next entry for my prescription progression...
Nov 2003: OD -5.00 -1.00 075 OS -8.00 Apr 2005: OD -4.25 -1.00 080 OS -7.00 -0.75 045 May 2006: OD -4.50 -1.00 055 OS -6.50 -1.00 035 Apr 2008: OD -5.25 -1.00 060 OS -7.25 -1.00 025 Aug 2009: OD -5.00 -0.50 050 OS -7.00 -1.25 030 Oct 2010: OD -5.50 -0.75 050 +1.25 OS -7.00 -1.00 040 +1.25 Nov 2011: OD -5.50 -0.75 050 +1.50 OS -7.00 -1.00 040 +1.50 Feb 2013: OD -4.50 -0.75 040 +1.50 OS -6.75 -0.75 010 +1.50 Jun 2013: OD -5.25 -1.00 060 +1.75 OS -7.00 -0.75 040 +1.75
Somehow my eyes are close to back to where they were in Nov 2011...
Nov 2011: OD -5.50 -0.75 050 +1.50 OS -7.00 -1.00 040 +1.50 Jun 2013: OD -5.25 -1.00 060 +1.75 OS -7.00 -0.75 040 +1.75
There's a slight change in the right eye, and even less of a change in the left eye....reading power another step up....
Seems a really strange jump and not really sure how to explain it. In what feels like an unusually rarity in my life, there hadn't been any medication changes from when I started having problems last fall to no, and no new diagnosis....though the latest problem that I've yet to receive a diagnosis for started mid-October....and it in November that my vision started getting bad (though with LISA and my mom's 70th birthday coming up, and thinking that I wanted to wait until I had FSA money...I had put off getting the eye exam. Plus it wasn't as bad as it has been lately...
As to why the shift...they had done a cornea surface mapping as they have done in all previous exams....and in comparison...my cornea surface was much more pointed in February while my current surface is similar to how it was back in November 2011. Not really sure how that came to be though. But, Optometrist said he would order up new lenses and that there would be no charge. Hopefully, they'll be able to get new lenses already pre cut for my glasses, as these are now my only pair....not having kept any of my old pairs this time around given the big change. (and not yet having gotten around to getting a second pair, because around when I was starting to think that I should get them...was when my vision started getting bad....)
Not sure where I'm at on getting a second pair now....will probably shoot for getting them before the upcoming NN Conference for sure.
Hopefully its not some kind of periodic variation, possibly similar to the variation in my sleep....which appears to still exist even with my Narcolepsy being pretty well controlled with medication now.
A while back I was having trouble updating transactions in my TIAA-CREF account. I used to update my entering each transaction by hand every so often, but then a few years ago (when I rolled over a Rollover IRA, which I had parked my 401k of my previous employer, as the invisible money fee was huge....share counts would drop every month, with no explanation in the account statements.) I let them generate the funds I should spread my retirement into...which makes it much harder to be entering transactions by hand.
I had tried the Quicken download option, but the dates of the transactions didn't line up with my pay days or the website's transaction history. So, making the download match what I was entering was tedious, as was not entering any by hand and adjusting after download. Also, the download likes to splatter my register with placeholders, and the complain that the placeholders are missing information so it can't do gain calculations.
So, originally, I'd only like invest in 6 +/- 1 funds. Basically a fund out each slice and some multiple of 5% rather than the specific percentage an investment tool had suggested for me.
Now, I have my retirement funds spread of 12 funds in my Mandatory Plan, and 19 Funds in my Voluntary Plan (since the Voluntary has access to more choices than those specified by pension administrator.) The Mandatory Plan is funded by the mandatory 5.5% that comes out of every paycheck, plus an 8.5% match from employer. While the Voluntary Plan is money that came from other sources, which could be in the form of additional deductions from pay. But, in my case it represents what was in my previous 401k.
So, I just let the Quicken download be as it is....deleting most of the placeholder transactions, because the only transaction that doesn't appear anywhere is the share count growth of my TIAA-CREF Traditional Annuity. But, I just change them into reinvestment actions with a price of $1. Not sure how I would get quicken to tell me what the gain/loss % is from that....
Somebody had described how to do the math to get include re-investments into the overall gain, perhaps I'll have to look into that someday.
Anyways, I noticed that I somehow hadn't done a download in almost 2 months (since the download ranges are 30, 60, 90 or All), so I try to do it about every 30 days. Quicken doesn't seem too bright on knowing transactions that overlap the previous download aren't new, and it'll refuse to let me manually match them with the correct transaction, since it the transaction had already been matched (or created by a previous download). So, I have to delete some of the new transactions, along with all the placeholder entries...before accepting the rest.
Normally this works great....even if the dates happen a day or two before payday. It makes the transfer from my associated cash account for my Mandatory Plan...sure it might go negative...but it all zeros out in the end, usually.
But, then last fall, there was a weird extra $3 and change in my cash account. I kept looking for a missing transaction, but didn't see one. Eventually, I found that when it had done my annual birthday re-balancing...where it sells parts of some funds and Quicken transfers into my cash account, an then buys amounts in the other funds with Quicken transferring out of my cash account. It didn't do that when it added to my Wells Fargo Advantage Growth Fund Institutional. I fixed it by hand, somehow and continued on my way.
So, since my Narcolepsy Diagnosis, I've been having vision problems...since September. I suspected that some of it was due to my medication, and I did find that I was right...but learned from Facebook before the NN Conference in October that what I was experiencing was more associated as a side effect of my stimulant than the other. I might be starting too strong with it in the morning.
Making a change on that front, brought about an almost immediate improvement....and while at the conference, I learned of another thing to adjust and that also made for a pretty quick improvement.
However, I still felt that my prescription had changed...but didn't feel like I could get an eye exam and new glasses done in time for LISA, so I put it off....except I guess I put it off too long...because I finally got the eye exam today....but, I'm off to Gallifrey One next week. Not enough time to get a new pair of glasses. Manhattan, KS needs an 1 hour place....though do they do computer progressives in an hour? No, I need my own time machine.
So, here's the updated progression...
With the updated equipment at there...they could show me very quickly what my vision is like with old prescription and new prescription, and how things compare with and without the reading power.
The large improvement in my right eye, seems to have contributed to generally poor vision distance and computer.
How will I survive now through Gallifrey One ??? We shall see...perhaps
Wonder if this will be the year to finally get prescription sunglasses, hopefully I won't be buying 3 pairs of eyeglasses in one year...to only have one good pair still. Though the big change also means I don't have any spares....
After years and years, of saying that I'm going to do it....I finally did it....I got a home security system.
Last couple of years, my HH had been getting particularly disturbing....I thought about doing it then, at least I got my locks rekeyed, which helped on the anxiety level after any particularly disturbing HH.
I had kind of registered the idea that I would definitely get a home security system if I should get a Narcolepsy diagnosis and open me to its particular treatment option.
Well, I got the Cataplexy Dx on May 15th, and the Narcolepsy Dx on July 12th. And, eventually I was to start treatment....July 26th.
After the Cataplexy Dx, I ramped up my intent to get a system. I noticed that AAA offers a discounted package with Lifeshield. So, I opted to get that package for my condo. Along the way, the base package was more than adequate to cover the basic exit/entry points. But, I opt to get a bunch more sensors to provide extra coverage around my medication fridge and medication safe.
It doesn't get me much of a discount off of my condo insurance (since the main structure is covered by a master policy from the HOA) to get any real savings for a security system, it needs to be cellular backed. The cellular gateway option is like $270, so the pay back is there...though it is on my list of addons to get.
But, it sure has helped with piece of mind and my sleeping.

The previous posting How to check your PD, was a prelude to ordering a replacement pair of glasses online. Which seems to have turned into a mini-review of 3 online companies....
First: Given the hassle of getting dental costs reimbursed by my limited use FSA, for dental and vision expenses.... I was worried that I may have put too much into FSA this year.... So, I decided that I would probably be looking at getting a pair of prescription sunglasses this year. Somewhere after I've had time to adjust to my new progressive eyeglasses.
Which hasn't been going so well...so I was considering that a LASIK evaluation help spend down my FSA. And, plan on next year's FSA paying for that.
But, lately...the progression of my disease now has me falling a lot lately. (the latest casualty being my Casio Waveceptor watch....had thought it being atomic, solar and metal, would mean it would last forever....or more than a year or two. Alas, I fell yesterday and broke it. )
So, anyways...back to breaking my glasses recently.... I found myself looking online for a temporary replacement...the damaged pair were semi wearable, but eventually to fully fix it...it would require a transplant. So, I checked a couple of online sites. Now, until this time, I have pretty much only been only dealing with one company for my online purchases of eyeglasses -- 39DollarGlasses.com But, now and then, I'll see listings on deals.woot.com for 'cheaper' deals. And, now I was thinking more cheap for this temporary/spare pair.
After pricing things out quickly...the base cost (frames + conventional single vision lenses) is rather negligible when you start piling on things like "As Thin As Possible" lenses, Free Form / Computer Progressive, and Anti-Scratch, UV Protection, Anti-Glare, Water Repellent coatings. It more comes down to how much the different companies charge for those options. That decides which is the better deal. As it happened, EyeBuyDirect has a first time customer discount that put it ahead of staying with 39DollarGlasses for this order.
Later, I poked around online to see where I could get the frames of my first pair could be had. And, there were a couple of places that still had the now-discontinued frame style, and I went with LensesRx.com.
This is where the mini-review part kicks in.
In all 3 cases, I normally go for the free USPS delivery option. Which is Priority Mail. And, with 39DollarGlasses.com and EyeBuyDirect.com, it was just with regular Delivery Confirmation service. This means the letter carrier can leave safely locked up in the mail lockers outside my condo. And, I'll have my new glasses when I get home from work. With LensesRX.com, I was order just frames, no lenses....for $99.95....(first pair were like $350, the temp/spare that I got were $170.)....they opted to send it with Signature Confirmation. Which meant that I came home to an orange-ish delivery notice instead of the frames.
That was a Friday...July 13th. Since Saturday, July 14th was the day for the Virtual 5K walk/run for Narcolepsy Research...I decided that I would adjust my route to swing by the post office to pickup the frames. Except I got off to a late start, and by the time I got there...they were closed.

Frequency division multiplexing
(FDM) The simultaneous transmission of multiple separate signals through a shared medium (such as a wire, optical fibre, or light beam) by modulating, at the transmitter, the separate signals into separable frequency bands, and adding those results linearly either before transmission or within the medium. While thus combined, all the signals may be amplified, conducted, translated in frequency and routed toward a destination as a single signal, resulting in economies which are the motivation for multiplexing. Apparatus at the receiver separates the multiplexed signals by means of frequency passing or rejecting filters, and demodulates the results individually, each in the manner appropriate for the modulation scheme used for that band or group.
Bands are joined to form groups, and groups may then be joined into larger groups; this process may be considered recursively, but such technique is common only in large and sophisticated systems and is not a necessary part of FDM.
Neither the transmitters nor the receivers need be close to each other; ordinary radio, television, and cable service are examples of FDM. It was once the mainstay of the long distance telephone system. The more recently developed time division multiplexing in its several forms lends itself to the handling of digital data, but the low cost and high quality of available FDM equipment, especially that intended for television signals, make it a reasonable choice for many purposes.
Compare wavelength division multiplexing, time division multiplexing, code division multiplexing.

Going to sleep now, g'night, ZZZzzzzz
This blog is going on semi-permanent hiatus. We have had nothing to post on activities in McMinnville for quite some time. What we discovered was that three critical elements have been missing: willing, able, enough.
* willing – wanting to learn everything necessary to do what needs to be done to abolish McMinnville's voter-approved (50 years ago) requirement that the city-owned water department add fluoride to our water.
* able – having the time and experience to do those things, rather than waiting for someone else to do it.
* enough – there were several local people who were willing and/or able, but there were not enough to get the job done.
Until such time as this community assembles the necessary ingredients for success, this blog is going to sleep.
We recommend that you visit the other no-fluoride blogs and read the news items on the RSS news feed located in the right hand column of this blog.
Thank you for visiting. Good night all.
Charles permalinkFebruary 28, 2011 8:41 pm
I think your decision to place your blog in semi-permanent hiatus is a mistake. It provides much valuable information, not only on local issues regarding fluoridation, but also at the national level. There will be more local updates and allowing the blog to "go to sleep" along your opinion that there wasn't enough "critical elements" sends a clear negative message to the many local supporters against water fluoridation. I for one respectfully request that this decision be reconsider.

With less than a month to go, the final details for TITANFEST 2016 – taking place on Saturday, November 19th – have just been announced. Following cancellations from Hysterica, Huron and Weapon UK, their replacements are: rising Midlands rockers Stormbringer, NWOBHM stalwarts Sacrilige and Birmingham thrashers Eradikator.
We asked Sacrilege vocalist/guitarist Bill Beadle what he was looking forward to most about Titanfest: "To play alongside both Graham Oliver/Steve Dawson's Saxon and meeting up again with Onslaught. Titanfest is a great event most bands want to play and the Dome a great venue, what's not to like about it."
Speaking about Sacrilege's plans for the near future, Bill revealed: "Sacrilege have another tour of Belgium and Holland plus the Malta Doom Festival to look forward to, plus we are hoping to announce very soon a great gig in the summer in London. The band also have the new album to record and release plus a live album. Early next year we hope to a get video out as well. Never a dull moment in Sacrilege."
TITANFEST has also teamed up with monthly metal night Retribution Alive to provide an additional evening of old-school metal, to be held at The Lounge in nearby Archway on Friday 18th November as a Titanfest pre-show gig.
The line-up for the Friday night will be: The Deep, Seven Sisters, Bangover, Meat Train, Black Crane Totem, bringing the total number of acts for Titanfest to 20! TITANFEST ticket holders will have discounted access to the show.
Festival organiser and Nightlord guitarist Ferenc Collins says, "Onslaught asked us to put on an extra-special show in London and I've been working my arse off to make that happen for them, especially as it's a double-celebration for them – the 30th anniversary of THE FORCE, and also the last night of their UK tour with Anihilated and Beholder. For the after-party I've had a couple of people scoff at the idea of Metal Karaoke, but then when they see us do it at the Dev and people are singing metal, thrash, death metal, black metal – and done completely unlike any other karaoke night, they soon change their minds. Besides, it's just another way to celebrate the music we all love, isn't it? We're going to have a lot of fun, so come and join us!"
TITANFEST takes its name from The Underground Titans Tour '92, a showcase tour of the finest up-and-coming underground metal bands of the era, in an unprecedented air of cooperation between bands creating what is still hailed by many as the first underground metal tour. Now, that spirit of brotherhood and unity shines through as some of the most time-hardened bands work side-by-side with the newer generation of underground bands to bring a full day's worth of aural assault from the finest in old school metal, thrash and death metal around.
Tickets for the main event are available priced at £30.00 and 2-day tickets are £34 excluding booking fees. Get them now from www.titanfest.uk!

Reggina's Corradi link
Manchester City outcast Bernardo Corradi could soon be on the move to Reggina.
By Nadia Carminati
Last Updated: 09/07/08 10:34pm
Manchester City outcast Bernardo Corradi could soon be on the move to Reggina.
The 31-year-old striker failed to settle after arriving at The City of Manchester Stadium from Spanish side Valencia on a three-year deal in July 2006.
He was sent off on his Premier League debut and managed just three goals in 29 appearances before being shipped out on loan to Parma at the beginning of last season.
The 32-year-old could now be making a permanent return to Italy if talks between City and Reggina are successful.
The striker's agent Moreno Roggi told Radio Kiss Kiss: "Reggina are interested in him and he is interested in the amaranto club.
"However, in the middle are Manchester City and a contract for another season.
Good feeling
"We have to see how talks go between City and Reggina. On our part I can say that we are interested in that possibility because we consider that the Calabrians offer an environment which can give trust and good feeling to Bernardo.
"The player needs to feel appreciated and the 35,000 fans at the Granillo, with their warmth, can make him feel the faith he needs."
His move has more chance of occurring after Reggina sold veteran striker Nicola Amoruso to Torino.
But this transfer has also decreased the chances of fellow City misfit Rolando Bianchi moving from Manchester as he was reportedly close to securing a deal at Torino.

Zenyatta's Little Sister Eblouissante Faces Four at Hollywood ParkDecember 13, 2012
Update: Eblouissante was scratched due to a minor injury less than 30 minutes to post time.
As the little sister to the great Zenyatta, the three-year-old filly Eblouissante has big horseshoes to fill, and she gets her second test on Saturday afternoon at Betfair Hollywood Park.
Trainer John Shirreffs, who saddled Zenyatta to 19 consecutive wins before running second to Blame in the 2010 Breeders' Cup Classic, trains the promising filly, who was a smashing maiden winner in her debut on Nov. 16.
She showed the same late running style as her big sister in her unveiling, coming with a three-wide run in the stretch, taking command inside the final furlong and drawing off to win by four-and-a-half lengths with jockey Corey Nakatani along for the ride.
Shirreffs is a conservative trainer, and like he did with Zenyatta, he will start the filly in a first-level-allowance optional-claiming-race before heading to stakes company.
Zenyatta broke her maiden in her debut on Nov. 22, 2007 and came back to win a first-level-allowance race on Dec. 15. She then made her stakes debut a winning one by taking the El Encino Stakes on Jan. 13 in Santa Anita.
It looks like déjà vu all over again as Eblouissante will also take on winners for the first time on Dec. 15, and if all goes well she will be pointed toward the La Canada Stakes in Santa Anita on Jan. 20.
The filly is the 6-5 morning line favorite, and with all of the attention she has already received, the price is likely going to be much shorter.
She does appear to have much more upside potential than the four foes that will try to beat her. The second choice on the morning line is Include the Cat (3-1), who is winless in six starts this year.
Glowing Spirit (7-2) showed good early speed in her last start before weakening to finish third at this level. She has won just two of her 18 career starts.
Completing the field are The Only Key (8-1), who has not started since July, and Toomanytomatoes (4-1), who is coming off a win against state bred allowance optional claimers on turf on Nov. 11.
Hollywood Park offers two outstanding stakes on Saturday's card, the $250,000 Hollywood Turf Cup and the $750,000 Cashcall Futurity.
The Cashcall Futurity is the final major race for juveniles this year, and likely will produce a couple of early contenders for next spring's Kentucky Derby.
The Todd Pletcher trained Violence ships in from New York and is the 7-2 morning line favorite. The colt is perfect in two starts this year, last out taking the Nashua at Aqueduct.
He's Had Enough (9-2) will be sent out by the same connections as last year's Kentucky Derby winner I'll have Another. Trainer Doug O'Neill will saddle the colt, who was beaten just a head in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile in his last outing.
Hall of fame trainer Bob Baffert will send out four runners including Hollywood Prevue winner Really Mr Greely (5-1).

Factors To Consider When Choosing A Dentist.
There are so many reasons that a person may be able to choose a dentist. There are those who would love to change from the old one they had while others may have changed locations and therefore they have to choose the right one for their families. You will need to take your time in choosing the ideal one in this case. You will find that these people will be responsible for your oral health as well as they are very important for you. In choosing the best dentist here are some of the things which will need to be considered in the process.
The very first thing that will be required is to choose a dentist who will be from your neighborhood or else close to your work location. This way you will be able to make regular visits for checkups or even appointments whenever you need to. The last thing on a persons mind when they have a toothache is to spend hours on the traffic going to see their dentist. It will be the easiest option to consider passing by the dentist when coming from work to have checkups done with no much effect done.
You must ensure that you are able to see the much you will be able to pay in this case. It will be necessary to consider a case where you will be able to ensure that the dental facility in this case will be able to accept credit cards if need be. You will find that a case where there are the facilities which will not be able to accept any forms of payments just cash.
What Do You Know About Experts
You will find that there are the facilities which the insurance providers will tend to ask more information from the clinic and therefore consider asking if they will be able to do exactly that. It will be necessary of you to ask more on the much that you will be charged in this case so that it may not cost you more that you had anticipated in this case. There are the common ones like root canal and fillings which are done the same in different facilities that the cost should not differ much.
How to Achieve Maximum Success with Services
You will need to see how the staff does treat the people who come in and out of the hospital. It will be important to consider the different ways in which you will be able to feel comfortable in how they will be able to handle you. You will need to consider a case where you may ask them questions so that you may know the kind of attitude that they will be answering you in.

Dear Poll: How Many Times Have You Been a Bridesmaid?
The newest comedy starring Katherine Heigl, 27 Dresses, comes out in theaters today. The story revolves around Heigl's character, who has been a bridesmaid 27 times and is about to embark on her 28th for a wedding between the man of her dreams and her sister — ouch.
Needless to say, it got me thinking about that old familiar saying: always a bridesmaid, never a bride. While it's flattering to be asked to be a bridesmaid, it can be both disappointing and annoying to constantly be on the sidelines. I've been a bridesmaid a couple of times, but how many times have you?

* STOXX set for 1.2 pct weekly fall
* Hikma sinks on trimmed revenue target
* Greek bailout progress seen lifting stocks
* Brazil-exposed stock steady (Ads details, updates prices)
By Danilo Masoni
MILAN, May 19 (Reuters) - European shares rose on Friday, timidly recovering from heavy losses suffered this week after political turmoil fuelled worries over U.S. President Donald Trump's stimulus plans, denting appetite for riskier assets.
The pan-European STOXX 600 index rose 0.4 percent by 0823 GMT, but was down 1.2 percent on the week, its biggest weekly loss since early November. Britain's FTSE and euro zone blue chips were also up by around 0.4 percent.
While gains were spread across all sectors, financials - among the most hit by this week's sell-off - gave the biggest boost to the STOXX with heavyweight banks UBS, Banco Santander and UniCredit up between 0.6 and 1.4 percent.
Among the biggest movers was airport retailer Dufry , up 6.5 percent after luxury group Richemont bought a 5 percent stake in the company. Hikma shares fell 3.8 percent after the drugmaker trimmed its revenue forecast to account for the delay in its U.S. generic drug launch.
This week's losses have pulled the STOXX down from 21 month highs hit after a run driven by big inflows into Europe, solid economic data and surprisingly strong corporate earnings.
With 80 percent of European companies having reported so far, 65 percent of them have beaten expectations and 8 percent have met them, according to I/B/E/S data.
After the latest company updates, however, first-quarter earnings growth is seen at 19.4 percent, slightly below the over 20 percent previously forecast.
Easing fears about the euro zone's stability after the defeat of an eurosceptic candidate in the French presidential vote earlier this month also supported the recent rally.
On the same front, some investors welcomed the latest developments in Greece where lawmakers approved further austerity measures overnight, making more progress towards unlocking bailout funds.
"No doubt averting another Greek crisis or at least another stand- off between the Greek government and its creditors should help stocks," London Markets trader Markus Huber said.
Athens stocks were up 0.6 percent.
Elsewhere, companies with exposure to Brazil such as Casino , Telefonica and Telecom Italia steadied following losses in the previous session triggered after a bribery scandal hit the country's president, darkening the outlook for structural reforms there. (Reporting by Danilo Masoni)

Awakening Dust Trailer (2013)
23 February 2013 Drama 78 mins
"El Chano" is a homeless man who wanders like a ghost through the streets of eastern Mexico City. Something hurts inside; for some reason has he abandoned himself to such misery. One day he meets an old acquaintance, Rosa, who asks him for a favor: "El Chano" must help her godson, accused by corrupted cops of sexual abuse and murder. He comes out of his lassitude and looks for ways to help the boy, but what can be done that is legal? Corruption, violence and inexorable fate are the main topics of Hari Sama's third feature film that draws upon the power of sequence shot to tell this story.

Cultivating marijuana would no longer be a mandatory felony under a new California bill introduced by a pot-friendly lawmaker.
The bill written by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano would let district attorneys decide whether to charge marijuana growers with felonies or misdemeanors.
Current state law requires anyone found guilty of cultivating marijuana to serve jail time. The law makes exceptions for patients and caregivers growing marijuana for medical purposes.
Ammiano attracted national attention in 2009 when he proposed legislation that would have taxed and regulated marijuana like alcohol. The bill died in committee.
The San Francisco Democrat's new proposal is backed by District Attorney David Eyster of Mendocino County, one of the state's top pot-growing regions.

Gracie, a white Pomeranian, was reunited with her owner after she was gone missing for two weeks after a home burglary in which a door was left open. As reported in the Daily Herald, at the time of the incident, it was unknown if Gracie had been 'taken' along with other items or whether she simply got out of the open door.
Earlier police reports indicated that the homeowner returned home and found the entire house turned upside down and the other pets still in a state of shock as if they were threatened. Beer was taken from the refrigerator along with several other items which would indicate this was a juvenile burglary. According to today's Daily Herald article, four grinning Round Lake Beach police officers showed up at the owners door with Gracie in their arms. After some initial hesitation, Gracie eventually settled back into her normal routine with the other pets. The owner, who had earlier stated that Gracie had food allergies, reported that she looked as though she had been well taken care of during her absence. The police did not disclose any specific details since there is still an ongoing investigation that may lead to arrests.
We all love a happy ending when it comes to lost pets.

Jeremy Renner Says He Definitely Won't Be Playing Hawkeye
by Alex Billington
December 30, 2009
Source: Movieline
At the end of November, about a month back, The Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner revealed that he had been talking with the guys at Marvel about playing the superhero character Hawkeye in their upcoming Thor and Avengers movies. It seemed all a bit sketchy to begin with, even though Renner had been quoted as saying: "Hawkeye could be interesting. They're going to send me some stuff on it." But it turns out it was all just an idea that never turned into a reality and all of the early discussion about it may have even killed it in the end. Renner gave an update to Movieline in a new interview, explaining what happened with Marvel.
"That was just one of those things that got blown way out of proportion. It was an idea. Those Marvel guys, I'm a big fan of them. They're so smart about how they want to do these things — they have Captain America, and Thor coming around, Iron Man 2, and then I happen to know Zak Penn, who's writing The Avengers. So they thought Hawkeye is an interesting role, and asked me if I knew anything about him. I said no, so they gave me their sort of spiel on what he was, and I thought that it was kind of interesting. The only reason it came out this early, because Avengers is two years away, is that they're thinking OK, we may throw him in Thor, we may not, as a cameo. You know what I mean? So there's truth that we talked about it, but there's no truth to me doing it."
Well damn, I was actually looking forward to potentially seeing Renner play Hawkeye. Not that we ever really thought it would happen, considering that Renner mostly cleared up the details some five days after that news first hit. At that point, though, he only explained that they were considering putting in Hawkeye in but were hesitant because they hadn't hired a director for The Avengers movie yet and didn't want to hire one and already have almost the entire cast in place. But it sounds like, for the time being, Hawkeye won't appear in any Marvel movies. And if he does, he probably won't be played by Jeremy Renner unfortunately.

I was looking forward to the all-you-can-eat brunch, but at the end of our hike to The Hoodoos we were running out of time to get back before they closed. Fortunately, we found the bus stop and the bus dropped us off 5 minutes before our reservation. Unfortunately, we were a bit sweaty and underdressed, but no one seemed to mind too much!
We got a lovely table overlooking the back lawn and a wedding ceremony on a lovely, albeit windy, afternoon. Our waiter was very accommodating and repeatedly assured us that we could stay and chat as long as we wanted. I would have liked to have seen my orange juice refilled a bit quicker, but the pot of tea was wonderful.
There were many, many food stations; to the point that I knew I hadn't worked hard enough to do everything justice. My omelette were wonderful, and the meats were high quality although a bit overcooked in a few cases. They had medium-sized shrimp, several hot soups, salads, breads, etc.; everything you'd expect but I thought that the dessert menu lacked any to-die-for items, focusing mostly on those small "tasters". Of course, that didn't stop me from sampling several of them, but few were good enough to actually finish.

Somalia, 22 March 2012: Safe water remains scarce, contributing to disease and malnutrition
By Abdul-Kadir Abdulle and Eva Gilliam
World Water Day, commemorated each year on 22 March, focuses attention on the importance of fresh water to sustainable development. World Water Day 2012 emphasizes the importance of water to global food security.
MOGADISHU, Somalia, 22 March 2012 – A line of women and children curves around the wall of a defunct hospital, now home to an Outpatient Therapeutic Programme (OTP) in the Hodan District of Mogadishu.
At the entrance to the centre, which is run by UNICEF partner and local NGO SAACID, a water tap, basin and soap sit invitingly. These are life-saving resources for the families queuing outside the centre, many of whom have been displaced by violence or food insecurity.
Lack of water devastated Somalia last year. It was the worst drought in over two decades, leading to famine in several areas of the south. While the situation has improved, 2.34 million people still require life-saving assistance.
The water-nutrition connection
Safe water is still one of the most difficult commodities to come by in Somalia, despite the above-average rains during the last rainy season. The scarcity of this essential resource continues to challenge the health of all Somalis. Women and children are hit particularly hard, especially in areas experiencing continued food insecurity and conflict.
Falastin lives with her three young children in a displacement camp in the Tarabuunka area. She recently arrived from Jowhar, Middle Shabelle, having been displaced by fighting in the area. "We were fearful for our lives," she said. "Everyone was saying there would be fighting and bombardments."
This is the fourth time she has visited this OTP to follow-up on the health of her malnourished child. The centre receives between 350 and 400 children per day, and has a staff of 20. They are supported by various organizations, including UNICEF, focusing on basic nutritional and medical care. Their work includes raising awareness about the importance of hand-washing and other good hygiene practices to protect against illness and malnutrition.
"The link between bad hygiene behaviour and illness, including malnutrition, is very clear," explained Nancy Balfour, UNICEF Chief of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in Somalia. "Attempts to achieve household food security have failed in many areas because people, especially children under five, are repeatedly sick with diarrhoea and cannot absorb the food they are given."
Education is key
For SAACID, getting the word out about hygiene means getting the word out about water. Safe water makes all the difference, but it is not easy to access in makeshift camps housing tens of thousands of people.
Once patients are discharged from UNICEF-supported OTP facilities, they should receive a package of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) items including buckets, soap and water purification tabs. "The WASH items we provide include soap and water containers," said Abdullahi Hassan Sahal, SAACID coordinator for Hodan District. "We also demonstrate to them how to properly wash their hands."
A SAACID outreach team also visits the camps to educate families about household water purification and safe storage, teaching them how to properly wash their hands and maintain good hygiene.
"As well as WASH facilities, the education is key," explained Ms. Balfour. "That's why we support awareness activities on the use of safe water and hygiene for patients in the nutrition centre, including lessons on water treatment techniques and hygiene practices in the household."
The connection is clear: With fresh, safe water comes health for children, adults and entire communities.

If you've jailbroken iOS 10.2 and MovieBox not working or stopped working, there are couple of solutions that you can try for.
After jailbreaking, many popular jailbreak apps stopped working including Movie Box not working. You can try Popcorn Time app, Showbox or PlayBox app as alternative to Movie Box app.
PanGu9 has released untethered jailbreak and surprisingly, Saurik has also updated Cydia installer with couple of key Cydia tweaks such as PreferenceLoader and Winterboard.
Jailbreak iOS 10.2 gave Cydia community a whole new life and many new Cydia tweaks have been released within two days and thousands of jailbreak apps have been updated for iPhone, iPad Mini, iPad Air and iPod Touch.
In many iPhone apps, MovieBox is also in the list which got updated. However, even after update, Movie Box not working and couple of times MovieBox not opening at all. PopCorn TIme, PlayBox HD and ShowBox app are not good choice as alternative to Movie Box. In this case, you just have one chance to update Movie Box app and fix not working issue.
Follow below steps to fix MovieBox not working…
- You jailbroken iOS 10.2 or not, just open Safari browser and open a popular iPA Installer called vShare.com
- Now, search Movie Box app for iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch and tap on Install.
- Look, the app would install updated version of Movie Box app, if you've used vShare app client.
- Now, give it a minute to download MovieBox iPhone app and once it has been downloaded, tap on Install anyway button.
- Reboot your iPad or iPad.
MovieBox Alternatives
In many cases, couple of apps not working on your iPhone specially after jailbreaking particular firmware. Suppose, MovieBox app not working on your iPhone or iPad, leave it and download PopCorn Time.
PlayBox not working too after update of jailbreak and ShowBox is not so cool as Movie Box app.
If you still has issues, leave some comments so that we can understand your issue.

I am interested in buying a GT FURY
rim 27.5
I figured that they had already worked out the geometry with the aluminum ones and would have the carbon version out for Fort William. Guess not.
Hell, I want it so bad!
Oh man, that is one ulgy piece of aluminum! O_O
Looks like Transition Operator - but I like it.
America is a third world country to GT.Anyone who has spent ten minutes on google knows this.Not even a US catalog for 2013.
dont like it as much as the old one but it is pretty sweet!!!
Is that a 2 stroke or 4 stroke? Needs a muffler.
That is a huge bike, in all sizes
That's what I was thinking, without taking the time to do the metric to Imperial conversions. That's one thing I like about Yeti. They still publish their geometries and dimensions in plain English--the language and system of measurement 99% of their consumers understand without translation or conversion.
Yeah how dare they use a measurement system that is 25.4 times more accurate and used by the VAST majority of the world.
I agree, wish everything would switch over. I have to do so many conversions every day back and forth between them, it gets really old.
If you mean switch over to metric, amen to that!
I wasn't saying huge is a bad thing. I personally prefer longer front ends, so much so that I won't buy a bike unless it has an abnormally long reach for its size. I applaud GT for moving in the right direction, at least for aggressive DH riding.

There's little doubt to any Orioles fan about who the leader of the team is. Since Adam Jones arrived in Baltimore prior to the 2008 season, fans have slowly fallen in love with the outspoken center fielder. When Andy MacPhail pulled off the trade to acquire Jones from the Seattle Mariners, I'd guess that few predicted the impact that he could have on the organization. That impact is growing deeper each day, and it's something that could put him in a class few have joined.
Jones went through four seasons of losing with the O's, the final four in a string of 14 straight for the franchise. That's something that has taught him, and other members of this team, how difficult and important it is to win.
You can look certain aspects of Jones' game and criticize him. He may have a lack of plate discipline or take a bad route to a fly ball at times. This is about much more than that. The impact Jones has made on this organization goes much deeper. You could be watching a player that joins the class of Baltimore sports icons. Jones could one day be mentioned in the same breath as Brooks Robinson, Jim Palmer, Cal Ripken Jr. or Earl Weaver.
The impact Jones has had on the field is obvious. Three All-Star appearances, a pair of Gold Gloves and an offensive game that continues to evolve have turned him into one of the game's budding stars. He's also shown the ability to lead his teammates when times get tough. Jones is a player that others lean on and he's taken the responsibility for the team's actions.
There's also something to be said for the impact Jones has made off the field and in the community. He's been involved in making Baltimore a better place to live, and even decided to buy a house in the area this past offseason. There's only a select few athletes that make that kind of commitment to a team and a city.
He's provided numerous memories for Orioles fans in just a few years with the club. You won't soon forget the image of Jones sitting on the ESPN set during this year's Home Run Derby, devouring hot dogs and talking up teammate Chris Davis. The fact that he can provide a national television audience with that kind of humor and entertainment shows that he can be more than just another ballplayer; he can be human. That's something we don't often get to see with professional athletes.
Not all has been perfect for Jones during his tenure in Baltimore. When Jones is struggling at the plate or in the field, he hears about it through social media. He won't hesitate to stand up to his critics and mostly agree with them on Twitter when things aren't going the right way. This is a line that athletes typically cross when they shouldn't, but Jones has turned his interactions with fans into a positive by engaging them and holding himself and the team accountable.
Leaders come and go through major league clubhouses each year. It's not too often that a player enters a town and sticks like Jones has. This is not to say that he doesn't have a long way to go to solidify any type of historic status. The Orioles will need to win a championship or two during Jones' tenure with the team to give any kind of iconic status validity. That's what the greats like Robinson, Palmer, Ripken and Weaver all did. They won, and they won often. Orioles fans have been lucky enough to see a renaissance of Baltimore baseball, and it's being led by Jones.
The contract extension that Jones signed last May carried a lot more meaning and weight to it than the piece of paper it was printed on. It meant more than agreeing to earn more money than most people will see in a lifetime. That single action threw Jones into a role that hasn't been occupied since Ripken retired in 2001.
Jones might not be the one player you'd select to build your team around. That honor might go to Detroit's Miguel Cabrera, Angels outfielder Mike Trout or even Baltimore's own third baseman, Manny Machado. But you can rest assured that no Orioles fan would want to live with the idea of seeing Jones in another uniform anytime in the future.
The wonderful thing about seeing Jones in a Baltimore uniform is realizing that we could be watching a player whose No. 10 will sit in silver next to the warehouse building for years to come.
