Product DescriptionDodo Juice Lime Prime Lite is a very easy way to clean and shine your paint. Lime Prime Lite is a non-abrasive pre-wax cleaner, where as Lime Prime contains some light micro-abrasive cutting particles. Ideally, you'll want to use Lime Prime Lite after polishing away imperfections in your paint and provide an ideal surface for your wax. You can use it after you have just washed the vehicle, used a clay bar or applied more aggressive polishes. After you are done applying and removing the Lime Prime Lite, enhance and protect your finish with your favorite Dodo Juice wax!
Professional Detailer Reviews
For those who appreciate a high quality carnauba wax, using Lime Prime Lite prior to wax application has distinct advantages. The gentle cleaners help to remove water streaking marks which increase clarity while laying down oils which help to maximize gloss. The result means you have a cleaner, clearer paint surface that is slicker feeling. The carnauba wax you apply afterwards glides on much easier which lowers risk for marring the paint while giving you an even more optically pleasing result.

Just used this product for the first time after washing & claying, applying with my Porter Cable and black LC pads. It left my paint extremely slick and with enhanced gloss, and definitely removed some contaminants that the clay did not. I then applied Menzerna Power Lock and will be topping with AutoGlym HD - really excited to see how this will look. Recommend this product!

The votes are tallied and now all that remains is to decide what to bring to my annual Oscar-watching party, which is perhaps an even more serious business. Guests must bring food eaten in or suggested by one of this year's nominated movies--nominated for anything, assuming you actually know what was nominated for a technical award or animated short subject.
Longtime guests scrutinize movies as earnestly as the critics do, thinking not Top 10 List, but Party Snacks. Sure, it's amusing, but always having this goal in the back of your mind means never looking at movies the same way again. Take "Boogie Nights," for example, and the climactic moment when Mark Wahlberg, as tremendously endowed porn star Dirk Diggler, finally shows us his talent.

In May, we celebrate mothers, so this month's must-haves are a mix of long-loved and just-discovered multipurpose marvels that make life easier for busy moms (like me) on the go.
Clarisonic 'Opal – Ruby' Sonic Infusion System: Amazing. After just one use, my eyes looked less puffy and felt more hydrated; within one week, they looked smoother, more refreshed and less crepey—all day! Even better, this wondergadget is quick (just 30 seconds on each eye) and very simple to use. Pair it with your favorite eye cream and/or serum and use it day and night for maximum results.
Chantecaille Ultra Sun Protection Sunscreen Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 50: I hit the jackpot with this product! Not only does it protect my skin with a broad spectrum SPF; it's also a fantastic makeup primer. It creates the perfect non-greasy, smooth, even canvas for your foundation, with bonus anti-aging benefits built in. Brilliant.
Giorgio Armani 'Luminous Silk' Foundation: There's a reason this product achieved immediate cult status and wins practically every beauty award. Just one pump is all you need for silky, smooth, weightless coverage that lasts all day. I am honestly blown away by how flawless and radiant it makes my face look, plus it's oil-free—the perfect finish for my combination skin.
Bobbi Brown Sheer Lip Color: I'm addicted to these new easy-to-wear lip shades that offer just the right wash of sheer color. Of the 14—yes, 14!—shades I've already acquired, my current #1 favorite is Passion Fruit, my power pink for summer. (Bonus: these beauties condition lips, too!)
L'Occitane Almond Supple Skin Oil: I first tried this product because I couldn't resist the delicious almond scent; now I can't live without the way it makes my skin look. I spray it on right after my shower to lock in moisture and face the day with supple, radiant, glowing skin that smells like a dream.
These are just five of the many must-haves I'd love to tell you about (I'll save some surprises for next month). In the meantime, if you'd like to start finding your own new favorites, you can set up an appointment with one of our Nordstrom beauty stylists (1.800.7beauty). Experts on all brands, they'll be happy to make suggestions and give you samples of products that will work for you. Too busy to get to the store?

TSMC's comment came after the Nikkei reported Friday that Fujitsu had entered into talks to sell its mainstay chip plant in Mie prefecture to TSMC, the world's biggest contract chip maker by revenue.
The Nikkei report also said Renesas is in talks to sell its system chip plant to TSMC as well.
Fujitsu declined to comment. Renesas wasn't immediately available for comment.
TSMC said earlier it isn't its strategy to acquire plants outside Taiwan. The company prefers to expand the capacity of its existing plants in Hsinchu county in Taiwan if needed.

If i have to wait two months or more i'm buying a 9780 and selling my bold 9700 but i'm going to unlock it before so the price increase. Just a plan i have up my sleeve. But the torch is nice, i just don't think it will suite me well.

I talked to a rep at T-mobile store and asked when there version of the torch was coming out and he quickly mentioned the clamshell, i was excited untill i saw the clamshell, OMG i hope the rep was clueless..... maybe im just as bad for sticking with them for 10 years.

blackberry7290nerd Aug 9, 2010 at 9:39 pm
You cant blame T-Mobile because I'm thinking that RIM made the final choice when it came to the carrier and they picke AT&T because they are far larger. I think their should be no exclusive deals with carriers and that all phones should be elegible to everyone on every plan on every carrier.

soo007 Aug 10, 2010 at 11:59 am
have you tried googling "blackberry 8520 epik case"?
gsilvau Aug 10, 2010 at 10:28 am
Is it just me or the specs for the 9300 are the same as the 8530? It's pretty much the same phone but GSM instead of CDMA! Thought it would have more memory but it has 256 as the rest of the 85xx... don't know about the processor but I'm guessing it has the same one.
That would make me think that maybe, just maybe... the 85xx will get blackberry 6!??!
I just hope it does
At least will do UMA... But otherwise, 320x240... I mean, Really???
soo007 Aug 10, 2010 at 11:57 am
320x240 does suck. The 8900 has 480x360 and is still great. UMA will be great for traveling.
If the 9300 gets OS6, then should it be reasonable to believe that the 9700 can get OS6 as well? Reason, I expect the 9780 to be HSPA 7.2 or even HSPA+ in addition to 512MB of memory. So there could be consumer backlash if 9700 owners get the shaft.
fabini Aug 10, 2010 at 1:31 pm
it is not a mistery that t-mobile 3G network is pure trash.slow as hell.while on UMA the dropping of calls is ridiculous.

Clarkstown South continued its trend of dominant second-half performances at home Saturday, pulling away in the third quarter on the way to a 50-34 victory over Pearl River.
"Our guys are a second-half team," Clarkstown South Coach Matt Backs said. "I don't know what it is. Maybe I need to push them harder early in practice. The first few games, the first half is ok and the second half is great."
Pearl River struggled offensively, scoring only 15 points after the break. The Pirates also missed on some opportunities, making only eight of 16 free throw attempts.
"We got pretty bogged down offensively," Pearl River Head Coach Jerry Houston, Jr. said. "Part of that is they did a good job defending us, put a lot of pressure on us. This point in the season, we can't afford the number of turnoves we're having and not converting from the foul line when we get there. It's kind of a bad mix for any team, turnovers and not making from the free throw line."
Pearl River junior forward Kevin Degnan was the only Pirate in double figures with 14 points, but eight of those came in the first quarter.
"I think we did a bad job getting him the ball," Houston said. "I put that on myself more than anything else, not getting him enough touches."
Degnan ended up with the ball on the perimeter more as the game went on.
"He did a really good job in the first half close to (the basket)," Backs said. "He's a Division I player. He's got a great future ahead of him. We just forced him to take difficult shots. If he makes a difficult shot, he's a Division I player. He's supposed to. If he doesn't, our priority is to be in spots to rebound it."
South's other priority is shooting from outside. The Vikings made 10 3-point shots in the game, and outside shooting has been key to the team's 3-0 start.
"We're not big," Backs said. "We're all about the same size. We have to be good at that. We're going to put them in spots and space them out. Twelve out of 15 guys cn probably shoot better than 50 percetn from threes, so if they're open, we're going to take it. We'll just live with what happens."
Joe Zayer led three Clarkstown South players in double digits with 15 points. Thomas Gerlich and Conor McGuinness each had 11.
Pearl River fell to 1-1 heading into Wednesday's game 5:30 p.m. at Ramapo.

Nine owners and managers of 7-Eleven stores across Long Island and in Virginia were charged Monday with making tens of millions of dollars by exploiting immigrants from Pakistan and the Philippines, in part by paying them using the stolen Social Security numbers of a child and three dead people while stealing most of their wages.
Most of the defendants were arrested early Monday as federal authorities raided 14 franchise stores. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were executing search warrants at more than 40 other stores across the country suspected of similar infractions, authorities said at a Brooklyn news conference.
"These nine defendants created a modern-day plantation system, with themselves as overseers, with the immigrant workers as subjects, living in their version of a company town," U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch told a news conference in Brooklyn.
Four defendants who hold both U.S. and Pakistani citizenship belong to a family that has participated in social events with Pakistan's former military ruler Pervez Musharraf, prosecutors said in court papers as they highlighted foreign ties while successfully arguing against bail for most defendants. Another defendant is a citizen of the Philippines. The government said the defendants pocketed tens of millions of dollars in the scheme, hiding some money.
Federal indictments naming eight men and one woman allege that since 2000 they employed more than 50 immigrants who didn't have permission to be in the U.S. They tried to conceal the immigrants' employment by stealing the identities of about two dozen people — including those of the child, the dead and a Coast Guard cadet — and submitting the information to the 7-Eleven payroll department.
When 7-Eleven's headquarters sent the wages for distribution, the employers stole up to 75 percent of the workers' pay, authorities said. The defendants also forced the workers to live in houses they owned and pay them rent in cash, they added.
"This case came to light because some of these defendants, despite their lack of legal status, came forward to report the exploitation," Lynch said.
Lynch said stolen identifications were "recycled from store to store and state to state" in a case driven by greed among defendants who bought big houses.
The government seized the franchise rights of 10 stores in New York and four stores in Virginia. The stores will remain open under the parent company's operation. Authorities said the stores had generated $182 million in profits shared by the defendants and 7-Eleven.
In a statement, 7-Eleven, Inc. said it has cooperated with the investigation and will take "aggressive actions" to audit the employment status of all its franchisees' employees. It said it was also taking steps to assume corporate operation of the stores involved in the action.

Multi-Pitch Climbing at Rocktown
Yes, Rocktown has multi-pitch climbing! We have an indoor multi-pitch climb that is in the process of being set and an outdoor multi-pitch climb that towers at 155 feet long. The first pitch takes you over 100 feet of climbing to the top of the silos. The belay station is actually on top of the silos overlooking downtown OKC! The second pitch follows a 55 foot arete up the corner of the upper tower structure. The exposure on the upper pitch rivals any other artifical climb you've ever experienced.
Our indoor multi-pitch climb utilizes our overhang wall and tops out on a belay ledge. This is also where we teach our rappel classes. The second pitch travels to the ceiling of silo.
The multi-pitch route requires the utmost level of knowledge and skill. Due to the increased risk associated with multi-pitch climbing and rappelling, only qualified climbers will be allowed to climb the multi-pitch route. In order to be eligible to become "Multi-Pitch Climb Certified" climbers must, either:
1) Already be competent and capable lead climbers/belayers, rappellers, and experienced in multi-pitch climbing through personal outdoor climbing experience. Regardless, of experience ALL climbers MUST be evaluated and skills assessed by qualified/approved Rocktown staff.
2) Complete and pass a series of training courses to become educated and "competent" enough to qualify to take the "Multi-Pitch Assessment" and become "Multi-Pitch Climb Certified."
Each course requires various skills and ability levels associated with it and therefore cannot be obtained immediately, but over a period of time.
The courses/training necessary for qualification include:
* Lead Climbing/Belaying
* Multi-Pitch Climbing
1. All above prerequisites met.
2. Must have completed the "Multi-Pitch Climbing Safety Course."
3. Must be "Lead Certified."
4. Must be "Lead-Belay Certified."
5. Must demonstrate, through an evaluation/assessment, competent rappelling skills.
Multi-Pitch Climb Certification Course - $35 members, $60 non-members
Includes instruction covering multi-pitch climbing safety and techniques. Includes test.

During North Carolina's 2013 legislative session, a fierce debate took place over how to change the state tax code. Because Republicans had won a super majority in the General Assembly as well as the governor's race in 2012, the real tug-of-war centered around an aggressively conservative tax reform package.
For the first time since Reconstruction, North Carolina has a General Assembly and governorship controlled by the extreme factions of the Republican Party, and their legislative super majority means their power is unchecked. It's as if the Tea Party created its own playground of extremist fantasies.

Home » Training » Graduate and Post-graduate Students » Advanced Therapy Externship » Externship Activities » Direct Clinical Services
Externs provide both short- and longer-term individual psychotherapy and can expect to see an average of 9-11 clients per week. In the first weeks of training, externs begin individual work with a small, preselected group of clients. Subsequently, externs may request assignment of cases according to particular interests and/or in the interest of acquiring a diverse caseload. Decisions about the duration of therapy and frequency of sessions are made by the client and therapist, in consultation with the therapy supervisor, and are based on client needs. The Center maintains a 20-session limit on individual therapy, although extern therapists may carry some cases longer when clinically necessary.
Externs conduct initial assessment sessions and write intake reports regularly throughout the year.
Trainees have responsibility for referral, linkage, advocacy and system interventions for clients, both at intake and during the therapeutic process.
Externs will be trained and supervised in the provision of the outreach services. Requirements include observing one and co-facilitating one classroom presentation on Counseling Center services during Fall semester and co-facilitating one additional outreach program per semester. With consultation with your primary supervisor and the Asssistant Director for Outreach, externs are welcome to be involved in additional outreach programming.

By Steve Pratt
CARSON, Calif., (Friday, April 6, 2012) – The way Mitchell Krueger see it, life as a pro tennis player probably won't be much different than the way he's spent the past six weeks.
The top-seeded player in the boys' 18s at the eighth annual USTA International Spring Championships, Krueger beat USTA training and doubles partner and No. 5-seeded Alexios Halebian of Glendale, Calif., 7-6 (5), 6-2, on Friday at the Home Depot Center to reach the semifinals.
After shadowing ATP Pro Janko Tipsarevic at Indian Wells in March, Krueger then paired with two-time Grand Slam champion Marat Safin of Russia in the Zurich Open in an event that teams former ATP Tour stars with top-ranked juniors. It was then back home to hit with 2005 ISC winner Sam Querrey on the clay at the Dallas Country Club in his home state and then to California for the present two-week junior swing of the USTA ISC and Easter Bowl.
The nation's top collegiate recruit, the 18-year-old Krueger is set to attend Texas A&M in the fall.
Krueger said he put it out of his mind that he was playing one of his best friends. "You have to,†he said. "We know each other so well, but when you're out on the court you just have to play. No matter the outcome we're still good. There's no bad feelings.â€
The match was intense and tight from the outset with both players returning extremely aggressive in the first set. "I was up a break twice but was broken back,†Krueger said. "It was a tight first set. I was happy to finally be able to hold serve when I needed to.â€
Up 6-5 in the tiebreak, Halebian double-faulted giving Krueger the first set. Following a break point won by Krueger for a 4-2 second-set lead, Halebian smashed his racket and was issued a point-penalty. "Right then I knew the momentum was all mine,†Krueger said.
Momentum continues for two 1998-born players who are playing well beyond their years this week. Fourteen-year-old Stefan Kozlov (No. 12 seed) joined Krueger in the 18s semifinals with a hard-fought three-set win over Mackenzie McDonald, the No. 4 seed from Piedmont, Calif., 6-4, 3-6, 6-4.
"I'm happy I'm playing so well,†said Kozlov, who has been training at the USTA Training Center in Boca Raton, Fla., for the past six months. "My game has really improved since I've been there. The results are starting to show.â€
In the boys' 16s, Kozlov's fellow 1998-born Francis Tiafoe advanced to the finals with a three-set win against Sameer Kumar of Carmel, Ind. He will play qualifier Roman Safiullin, a Russian who is currently living in San Diego.
The top-seeded player in the girls' 18s, reigning Australian Open Junior champion Taylor Townsend of Stockbridge, Ga., came back to beat Stephanie Nauta of Bradenton, Fla., 2-6, 6-3, 6-3. Townsend next gets No. 7-seeded Allie Kiick in the semis.
Jennifer Brady, the No. 8 seed from Boca Raton, Fla., pulled off a nice win over No. 2 and UCLA-bound Kyle McPhillips, 6-2, 6-1. Brady will play the third Floridian of the final as she meets No. 3 Chalena Scholl of Pompano Beach, Fla., in the other semi.
In the girls' 16s final, Emma Higuchi of Los Angeles will face Jessica Ho of Wexford, Pa.
All finals except the boys' and girls' 18s singles will be contested on Saturday.

I adore the rare opportunities I have to travel to Washington state. Not only is it the stage for the epic series Twilight (laugh if you'd like, it is epic and wildly entertaining) it is the homeland of Puppy. This city shaped a young boy into a man with many an Indie rock show, Ninja stars, and a constant temperate gentle mist that has made his skin the supple fabric that it is today.
I made these images while there a few months ago during some free time in the city.
I will never get over Seattle's idea of public transit - the ferry. There is an open rooftop, a snack bar, and large group tables. It's a floating party.
Tattoos are to Seattle what oxford shirts are to DC. As I walked past this young tatted woman, I thought I read my name. Close Amelise. Very very close.
This bone structure does not belong to a standard civilian, thank goodness. This man is an official model, with the jawline to prove it. You never know who you'll bump in to at Lush!
I have always loved Lush. Their branding is so perfect and I love the way the shop smells. The sales girls were a little overambitious but that didn't stop me from finding my skin's new best friend, strawberry massage bar. I have always seen massage bars as being limited to massages. I have redefined my thoughts on the product and now think of them as solid body creams. The bar begins to melt to the touch, so the application is very smooth. This bar also has an added bonus for travel. I toss my bar, wrapped in its original paper sack, into my luggage and everything smells lovely. It's like a useful potpourri.
Everyone has a little more edge in Seattle. Even the dogs.
I was introduced to the scrumptious Mae Phim Thai Restaurant right by the ferry. The green curry was dreamy with non-questionable chicken, the flavors smooth and spot on. It was packed but somehow we managed to get a table and thank goodness we did. The black sticky rice in sweet coconut foam was a true experience.
Until next time Seattle...

Where e-Books Fall Short, Print Delivers
Written by Niles Junior Bellefonte // February 7, 2012 // The Library // 8 Comments
The recent news from Pew Internet that e-reader ownership has almost doubled over this past holiday season makes it tempting to say that print books are not long for this world; after Amazon realized that many e-book readers enjoy browsing for titles in a brick-and-mortar store only to download them on their devices, and then sought to capitalize on such a trend, indie bookstores fought back and claimed a minor victory. Today, many are framing Barnes & Noble as publishing's last stand against Amazon—it feels as though anxiety and tensions are high as ever.
But I don't think we need to worry; as with the discovery that vinyl record sales having risen in the past 6 years in a market dominated by MP3 downloads, it's useful to put considerable thought in where each platform, digital or analogue, excel for each medium—and publishers are going back to the drawing board to see where they can innovate with printed books to keep readers interested.
Some fun is lost in the e-book for those whom find reading to be a voyeuristic experience as I do. In a subway car or at a park, I take pleasure in seeing what is being read around me, for a non-confrontational glimpse at my neighbors' personalities or interests. Seeing someone read an e-book, nondescript and unrevealing of what's displayed on the screen, leaves little to the imagination.
Thankfully, where e-books fall short, print delivers.
Recently publishers have tried to refresh the way we consume print books by offering a whole new print format, the Flipback book. The Flipback was designed in mind for the smartphone-toting generation, touting itself as "giving book lovers a real reading experience with the portability of a mobile phone"—as if your mass market paperback were not portable enough—and its being "always fully charged." The book opens vertically, rather than a traditional book's opening horizontally, making it easy to hold in one hand, ideal for the subway commuter.
But sometimes it's useful to look to the past for innovative solutions: reading for the first time The Medium is the Massage by Marshall McLuhan (1967) (designed by Quentin Fiore and produced by Jerome Angel) felt life-changing—not just for the ideas expressed by the late media theorist, but for how the book's design challenged the conventions of reading the printed page. The text, which many would likely find rather dense or difficult to parse, was made comprehensible by visual aids illustrating points made in the book: in one section, the reader was made to hold the book in front of a mirror to read backwards text; on the next page, you must rotate the book to read upside-down. These tricks may seem gimmicky, but actually make for an engaging reading experience that's pleasing for the eye, and with surprises beyond each page that push the boundaries of print.
Inventory Books, a series of books published by Princeton Architectural Press and designed by Project Projects, takes a lot from The Medium is the Massage; in fact, the latest book in the series, The Electric Information Age Book: McLuhan/Agel/Fiore and the Experimental Paperback tackles the work as an example of books produced in the 60s and 70s that paired text and graphic design that "brought the ideas of contemporary thinkers to the masses." Paging through Street Value, the first of the Inventory Books series—which is less unconventional than McLuhan, Angel and Fiore's production—I found the use of primary sources like advertisements, imagery and newspaper clippings made the text more accessible as you would expect exploring a multi-media presentation to be.
So, obviously such tactics can easily be re-created in a digital format. But what makes them interesting in book form is the notion of the book as an object in itself, a set-piece with potential to spark, upon its being noticed, conversation—not unlike my love for seeing what strangers read around me in public.
There are a lot of beautiful books being published today, notably Little, Brown and Company's Malcolm Gladwell: Collected, Melville House's Art of the Novella series, an assortment of graphic novels and really any issue of McSweeney's Quarterly Concern. I won't deny that when I'm expecting company I'll leave out the best books for guests to be impressed by. After all, most books in our home are purely for decoration, no?

Fan Confidence Poll: February 27th, 2012By
Spring Training Schedule This Week: vs. University of South Florida (Fri.), @ Phillies (Sat. on MLBN), vs. Phillies (Sun. on YES/MLBN)
Top stories from last week:
- The Yankees filled out the roster this week, re-signing Eric Chavez to a one-year, $900k deal. They also added a midseason bullpen option by signing David Aardsma for one year and $500k. The Raul Ibanez signed became official as well. The Yankees maintain interest in various left-handers, just not Damaso Marte or Scott Kazmir.
- Mariano Rivera told reporters that he knows what he'll do after the season, hinting at retirement. He's not going to tell anyone his plans however.
- Injury News: Joba Chamberlain threw his final half-mound session and will get up on a full mound for the first time as part of his Tommy John surgery rehab on Tuesday. Austin Romine will miss a few days after an MRI revealed inflammation in his back. George Kontos tweaked his oblique and has been on the shelf the last few days. Tim Norton is reportedly throwing bullpen sessions.
- The Yankees and Russell Martin reportedly discussed a three-year contract earlier this offseason, then rekindled talks this week. Brian Cashman has since confirmed that there will be no more talks until after the season.
- Chris Dickerson cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A, so he is still with the organization but is no longer on the 40-man roster. The Yankees signed Robinson Cano's cousin, Burt Reynolds.
- Manny Banuelos, Dellin Betances, Gary Sanchez, and Mason Williams all made Baseball America's Top 100 Prospects List. The Yankees will have $4,192,200 to spend on the first ten rounds of the draft.
- Lou Piniella officially joined the YES Network as a special contributor.
- RAB turned five.

A game!!!
I would have been an 8 but RABs birthday put me over the top to a 9.
Can't wait for games now!
Anxiously awaiting the season at a 9. Probably should be a 10 because:
1) It's still prior to ST games, so no one can beat them right now.
2) No major injuries to the starters
3) RAB is 5 years old!!!
"Tim Norton is reportedly throwing bullpen sessions."
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!
Alan Horne and Chris Garcia got out of bed this morning and did not feel a twinge anywhere. Must be a full moon.
what's next, joel zumaya staying healthy?!
poor guy
I'm convinced he's going to wake up one day, and his arm will not be there.
I hope a guy like Aroldis Chapman is taking notes.
eesh, I honestly feel awful for that man. I really hope he doesnt try to come back. Fan Graphs has a list of his injuries/surgeries, and damn that guy is a hard man to have even made it back to this injury.
Hope Norton has better luck than Joel Zumaya. Poor guy. Gotta feel for guys like that who work so hard to come back from injury and then get hurt again right away. Frustrating
Up to a 9. Hope springs eternal. Our rotation looks to be the best in years, our bullpen may be the best in the majors, our offense is killer and our defense is good. What's not to like?
Still a 9. Thank God this was the last week without actual baseball to watch for a long while. Should have even voted a 10 just for that reason.
Really how can it not be 9? Stacked offense, stacked rotation, stacked bullpen. If its not a 9, it will never be. Its really a 10 but that is bad luck.
The only number without a vote is a "3″ so far, so apparently there are some in the imaginary front office that disagree.
LOL. Have to figure those below an 8 arent really Yankee fans. If you are a Yankee fan and dont like this team, and whats in Milb, then you are at best a weird a fuckin dude.
The "weird fuckin dude" factor in the comment section of any blog is always bound to be high.
i want nothing more than to see michale pineda pitch
The worst part is, you know he's getting on the mound for about 2 innings the first time, and it's going to feel like a tease.
Really looking forward to that. Can't wait to see what the kid's got. Hoping to see him develop into a #1 or #2-type pitcher while wearing Yankee Pinstripes!
Solid 9.
Don't love Ibanez as lefty DH or Chavez as backup 3rd/1st basemen but both could be upgraded during the season if need be without too much difficulty
We really do have it rough, when our big worries are a platoon Dh and a shitty bench player that will get all of 100 abs. Its good to be a Yankee fan :}
Very true.
Take a look at Adam Rubin's Mets chat on ESPN sometime for some perspective. Their big hope is that everything will fall in their favor and they'll only lose 90 games instead of 100.
I found myself kind of wishing this morning that Hiroyuki Nakajima signed with us. Hard to expect Chavez to be healthy, so we would have just had Nakajima, and how fun would it have been to root for that name? John Sterling would've had a field day.
I went with 9 again. I really like how this team is put together. We won the division with both A-Rod and Tex having "off" years. If both stay healthy, the rest of the offense have similar years, and the pitching lives up to it billing, #29 is certainly within reach.
Plus, the farm system is getting high marks all around MLB. This Campos kid appears to be the real deal. Let's see what Man-Ban, Betances, Sanchez, Williams, etc. do this year as well. Things are pretty exciting throughout the organization.
I'm a 9 and as confident as I've been in at least a decade. One watch out is the elite competition seems better than ever.
How about French red heads
Hopefully the left side of pour infield will have similar regressions
I don't think i'll ever open another link or that you should provide one. From a safety (virus) standpoint, I Thank you.
It's a press clipping from the Daily News.
A fat 9.
I was down to a 8 prior to Kuroda & Pineda transactions. I likie the Montero promise of a big bat however a veteran platoon might be equal/better for the short term.
They went from a #1,a #3, 5-#5′s, SP-wise to #1, 2-#2′s, #3 and 4-#5′s while losing a solid-dominate DH.
err, scratch the "likie" and use "liked"
Off topic, but is anyone cooler than Robert Griffith? I take him over Andrew Luck any day of the week, just on coolness.
First, just because you announce that it's off-topic doesn't make it okay. There's an off-topic thread specifically for that.
Second, if you're going to blatantly disregard the rules anyway, it would be nice to get the dude's name right; it's Griffin, not Griffith.
Oh I dunno. He may have gotten the name right.
Not sure he'd draft that dude over luck, though.
Another week, another 9.
I have to teams that I am absolutely fanatical about: NYY & SU hoops.
Life is good right about now!
*two teams
Any recent word on the status of Jorge Soler??? Signing him to a reasonable contract might move my rating up to a 10.

Special to the Record-Eagle
— TRAVERSE CITY — Sister businesses CC Jewelers and Coins & Collectibles are thriving in expanded facilities at Garfield and Carver.
Owner David Croad said a December move to the building previously occupied by Lauren Hanna Interiors from their previous Cherryland Center location made way for expanding staffing, services and selection as well as physical separation of the two businesses. Employees have gone from six to nine, including the addition of an in-store jewelry design and repair person. Most significant is the introduction of new jewelry lines, broader selection and an emphasis on the bridal market.
"The move has been phenomenal … we are excited to be able to be here," Croad said, noting he had pursued the site for over a year. "Ease of access was a major factor … the location, the visibility and the beauty of the building were good and (allowed us) to separate the businesses for our customers."
Coins and Collectibles has been operating in the region for more than 50 years, with prior locations on State Street in downtown Traverse City as well as the Cherryland Center storefront. Croad already had a 13-year career in jewelry when he purchased the business in 1993, and began adding jewelry into the collectibles lineup. CC Jewelers was established as a separate business with the move to Cherryland Center in 2005.
The latest relocation provides both businesses with expanded space as well as separate identities. The 6,000-square-foot facility is almost triple the Cherryland size and was extensively remodeled into two showrooms, each with separate entrances and display areas. Although there is access between the two shops, the layout, ambiance, staff and services of each is distinct. CC Jewelers is occupying 4,000 square feet, while Coins & Collectibles uses the rest.
Croad said sales at both businesses have increased. Economic uncertainty has helped fuel renewed interest in coin collecting, investing in gold and silver bullion and resale of unwanted gold jewelry, he said. And he hopes to establish CC Jewelers as a bridal destination store by tripling his inventory of bridal jewelry as well as lines of diamond earrings, pendants, watches and semiprecious stones.
Meanwhile, neighbors credit the stores with bringing renewed retail energy to the corner.
"We are extremely excited to have CC Jewelers as our neighbor," said Dave Sutton, co-owner of Carpet Galleria located next door. "They have a strong presence on the corner and pull in a lot of traffic. Our businesses complement each other nicely."
Sutton noted the stores are designed to adhere to the city's master plan calling for "smart growth" that promotes traffic calming, protects pedestrian access and flows between commercial and residential use. CC Jewelers, Coins & Collectibles and Carpet Galleria are situated close to Garfield, with windows along the street and shared parking behind the buildings to provide a "downtown-like" feel.

A well-planned, themed Twitter Party will include 2 co-hosts along with myself, coordinating planned conversations, product giveaways designed to build excitement over your product while attracting participants, and discussions between participants and a guest expert.
Twitter party conversation can also be designed to get information out in small blurbs that fit into single tweets. Often this makes a great way to help those new to your concept to understand it more thoroughly--small amounts at a time.
Scavenger Hunts, coordinated by my team, can encourage participants to visit every corner of your website or Facebook page to seek out clues or items that will help them solve a puzzle. The first to get the correct answer will win a significant prize, designed to create excitement over your product and encourage followup purchases.
Themed Blog Hop Events bring large numbers of blogs together with their links all located on one another's pages. This exposure for your brand can be huge, as all readers/visitors to each of the participating blogs will be able to see and access our event planned on your behalf. Once again prizes serve as a lure to participants, and information on your product or service will be made available through our blog post and any coordinated events such as Twitter Parties or Scavenger Hunts.
Note that to maximize the value to your brand, a combination of these events is often your best approach. Your budget, however, is where we must start to create a plan for you. We would need to understand your goals in order to present a plan that works. Fees for these promotional events vary widely based on your goals, anticipated participation, prizes offered, experts required, event design complexity, and other details. Please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com with as much detail as possible. I will be in touch soon.

In order to protect Malden against "Slum Landlords" - those prove "by their track record" to be lax in maintenance of proprieties - it is time for the councillors to pay attention to the needs of citizens and to take action needed to protect their safety and quality of life. They should become aware and pay attention to the situations in their wards and citywide.
I ask John Matheson Ward #3 Councillor and Jim Nestor Ward #4 to and support the efforts of the tenants in their areas to organize against increasing rent.
A tenant association (or tenant organization) may be made up oftenants who live in a certain building or development, or membership may be on a larger scale -- i.e. renters in a city who belong to acounty or citywide local tenants' association. These groups are formed and maintained with a number of goals in mind, including:
- Informing tenants of their rights under local, state, and federal law.
- Organizing and lobbying on behalf of tenants and tenants' rights,especially at city and county levels of government.Improving tenant-landlord relationships, building conditions
- Securing services for tenants under a "strength in numbers" model.
- Encouraging regular communication and community awareness among tenants.
Tenant Associations: The Right to Organize
Tenant associations usually hold periodic meetings in order to encourage active tenant participation and to promote tenants' awareness of the association's role and available services. Just as most employers are prohibited from discriminating or retaliating against employees who have joined a labor union, federal and state fair housing laws dictate that landlords cannot take any negative action based solely on a tenants' participation or membership in a tenant association or similar organization.
Examples of prohibited landlord conduct include arbitrary rent increases, refusal to make necessary repairs and threats of eviction.
In addition, a landlord may not prevent a tenant association from meeting in a common area on the building's premises if other groups are allowed to do so, as long as the circumstances of the meeting (i.e. time, place, noise level) are reasonable.
Getting Involved
If you are a tenant in a large residential building or development, or if you rent your home in a mid- to large-size city, you may have the opportunity to get involved in a tenant association or organization.
To find out more, contact your city's housing department.

Would be nice if it were true.
EUROPEANS rather enjoy toying with the idea that our continent is in elegant, irrevocable decline: the temptation of humiliation is a powerful thing. Alain Minc, a prolific French writer, businessman and friend to the powerful, comes up with a nice example of the genre in today's Figaro newspaper.
For Barack Obama, Mr Minc suggests:
Europe represents, more or less, what Switzerland means to France. A peripheral neighbour that is rich, cultivated but not terribly important.
There is no prize for mentioning Orson Welles, at this point.

Thanks to Google Earth's StreetView layer, I noticed some of the new StreetView images released today have some night-time views of Times Square. See it here in Google Maps:
View Larger Map
In Google Earth (v4.3 only), if you turn on the StreetView layer and zoom down to near street level, you'll see miniature spheres showing the images in place of the icons. That's how I quickly noticed the different set of images. See more about StreetView in the video demonstration of Google Earth 4.3 here (the last half of the video shows it).
The Times Square area is a particularly good area to check out the new face blurring technique Google is using to help reduce privacy concerns about StreetView imagery. They have face detection software to help with the blurring process.

50 and Beyond
50 and Beyond
Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
This month we
celebrate the 50th issue of Linux Magazine. That makes this month a sort of golden anniversary or "jubilee," as we like to call it. If you're quick with math, you have probably already determined that 50 issues is four years and two months of Linux Magazine. If you do not work in publishing, you may be wondering if four years is really enough for a party. Actually, emerging magazines compete fiercely in the jungle of reader expectations. Many startup magazines collapse within the first year due to the pressures of circulation quotas, budgets, and deadlines. Four years really is a long time for a new magazine. We at Linux Magazine are proud of the steady growth that has led to tens of thousands of readers in over a hundred countries. And we are proud to be part of a very interesting publishing experiment.

She did it. Las Vegas runner and Bellagio dealer Karla Kent completed the Badwater Ultramarathon early Wednesday morning.
It took Kent, 49, 40 hours, 24 minutes and 35 seconds to run 135 miles through Death Valley.
Kent, who arrived back in Las Vegas Wednesday evening, told FOX5 she feels surprisingly good. She's expected back at the Bellagio roulette tables in the next few days.
Only 98 runners in the world competed in Badwater this year. Kent was one of thousands to apply.
Kent's training strategy was running long marathons. In April, she ran a 100-mile race. Two weeks ago, she did 50 miles around Lake Mead.

This giveaway has ended. The winner of the copy of Artisanal Gluten-Free Cupcakes by Kelli & Peter Bronski, chosen by random.org, is #22 – Janis! Congratulations, Janis.
It's Week 3 of A Gluten-Free Holiday, and we're sharing Edible Gifts. This is a topic near and dear to my heart (well, Thanksgiving Favorites, the topic for Week 2, is a very close second), as I love to make and give away various edible treats – not just around the holidays, but throughout the year. During the holidays, however, I go into treat-making overdrive. I read about holiday treats, spend days and nights dreaming and thinking up treats, bookmarking my favorites, and I make plans to turn as many of these recipes into delicious gluten-free, dairy-free goodies. And I bestow the results of my efforts upon family, friends, and coworkers.
Because after all, those on a restricted diet need a holiday treat, right? At least, that's what I think!
Of course, my goal with each of these treats is to make them tasty enough to be enjoyed by anyone – not just those on a gluten-free and/or dairy-free diet. This means that my ultimate taste testers are, many times, my co-workers, as none of them are on such a diet. If the speed in which they devoured these chipotle-maple mixed nuts is any indication, these are definitely tasty treats.
In fact, I had to hide a jar from myself so I can ensure there will be some to snack on for Thanksgiving. I can't make any promises that the jar will be full come next week, however. Might have to make some more.
Chipotle-Maple Mixed Nuts (gluten-free, casein-free)
1 egg white
3 T freshly squeezed orange juice
½ t orange zest
1 – 1 ½ t chipotle chile powder
½ t cinnamon
1 ½ t kosher salt
1 ½ T minced fresh rosemary needles
3 T ghee (clarified butter), butter, or coconut oil
1/3 c coconut palm sugar or brown sugar
1/3 c maple syrup
2 c raw pecan halves
2 c raw almonds
2 c raw cashews
2 c raw walnuts
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Grease a large baking sheet and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk the egg white until it starts to froth. Add orange juice, zest, chipotle chile powder, cinnamon, salt, and rosemary needles and whisk until combined. Set aside.
In a large, heavy skillet (I used my cast iron skillet), heat ghee over medium-low heat. Add coconut palm sugar and maple syrup and stir. Add nuts and toss until well-coated, stirring frequently. Add in bowl of egg white/spice mixture and toss again until evenly coated. Stir for another 3-4 minutes.
Transfer to prepared baking sheet and spread out. Bake for 20 minutes and stir well. Bake for another 20 minutes. Stir again, and bake for 10-20 more minutes or until nuts are no longer sticky. Allow to cool to room temperature. Break apart as needed before storing in jars.

Well, you can! What's even better, you can share them, and be entered for a chance to win a copy of Artisanal Gluten-Free Cupcakes by Kelli & Peter Bronski.
Because who doesn't love a good cupcake?
This book looks amazing. I had the pleasure of meeting Peter Bronski at the GFAF Expo last month. (He and Kelli are also authors of No Gluten, No Problem) Peter is an exceptional individual that definitely is dedicated to celiac awareness – he ran a 50-mile ultramarathon in October to raise money for the National Foundation of Celiac Awareness and the gluten-free community! I might run 5 miles…but 50? That's beyond impressive.
The same goes with this book, which can be yours! How to enter:
1. Link up your favorite gluten-free edible gift recipe.
2. Leave a comment below.

Those nuts look fabulous, Alta! I can't resist homemade glazed or flavored nuts–yum! I'd love to received these nuts as a gift, or just about anything that's linked up actually. Will link up a few gift ideas like my vanilla extract (does not have to be ready for use at gift time, but if made now will be close), honey butter (quick and easy), and perfect pound cake (mini-loaves make lovely little gifts).

I posted this on my FB, although my friends might wonder 'why!'
I think the name says it all. I *LOVE* cupcakes, but my newly-discovered gluten intolerance has made it difficult to indulge myself. The cookbook sounds like the answer to my cupcake-deprived prayer.

- Whisk together the lime gelatin and boiling water in a large bowl until the gelatin dissolves. Pour the mixture into the container of a blender, and add the pear halves and cream cheese. Cover and blend until smooth. Pour back into the bowl, and gently whisk in the whipped topping. Transfer to a mold or serving bowl, cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours. To unmold, dip the mold briefly into hot tap water to loosen the gelatin, then invert onto a plate.

This is what I call Blender Pear Salad...only I don't like lime jello in it at all. I use raspberry jello 9 times out of 10 although you can use any kind you like. This is a staple at all get togethers in my family.
I love this recipe and make it at le4ast once a week. I love it with strawberry gelatin and also raspberry gelatin. Also tried it with orange gelatin and it tasted like an orangesicle. I like to add a handful or two of marshmallows, which need to be stirred in when the gelatin is getting firm, otherwise they stay at the top. Yum!
This is a great recipe that I've been making for years. The only thing I do differently is save the juice and add water to equal 1 cup and microwave it. I don't blend the pears in with the cream cheese. I cut up the pears and add them into the mold. It gives it more texture and is really very good!!

I'm new to both the Smart car and to these forums. We just took delivery of our 2008 Passion model (Canadian) on August 15.
It was purchased for the intention of towing behind our motorhome, in addition to being a "cute" and economical car for everyday transportation, naturally.
My question is - we need to install a tow bar and for that there needs to be a base bracket installed on the Smart car. Has anyone done this already, and if so did they do it themselves? Any insight into the brand of towbar/base plate and any pitfalls related to the installation would be most appreciated.
For those who don't alread know, the 2008 model has been redesigned to permit 4 wheel down towing. I suspect that this will make it even more popular as the size and weight make for an almost perfect "dinghy" to be towed - in my opinion at least.

Updated June 25, 2014Border Towns - Should You Go?
When you are in the Southwest, it is very tempting to cross the border for a little shopping and Mexican culture. Sonora, our Mexican state to the South, has an advertising campaign running on television enticing visitors to drive over the border with ease. You do not have to stop and register your car when crossing into Sonora, they promote..."Sonora Get's It!"
With seniors traveling on a daily basis from Yuma to Algodones for dental care, prescriptions and eyeglasses, it is hard to believe that eight Sonoran cities made the list of the 121 Mexican municipalities with the most violence per capita. But are tourist areas in Mexico dangerous? The U.S. State Department, in an article covering Spring Break in Mexico, advises common sense. "While the vast majority enjoy their vacations without incident, several may die, hundreds will be arrested and still more will make mistakes that could affect them for the rest of their lives. Using some common sense will help travelers avoid these unpleasant and dangerous situations.
Watch for Alerts
The State Department issues travel alerts that can keep up updated on areas to avoid. Here is the website.
RV Safety Tips
I have friends that take RV trips into Mexico. They have a great time but have cautious words for others. They advise:
- Caravan with people that know the language and the safe roads.
- If you break down, make sure others know and stay with you.
- If police stop you, go with them to the police station but take your license plates with you. (to avoid theft)
There are some good articles and resources to read before planning an RV trip to Mexico. One article includes a concise list of things to do and bring.
My friends consider Rolling Homes Press as their RV "bible" when traveling in Mexico. Their website also has some great information and updates to their books.
Common Sense Safety Tips for the Visitor
- Stay in groups
- Stay in the usual tourist areas (gift shops, restaurants, hotel areas)
- Watch your drinking. A person appearing drunk is a sure target for theft.
- Be extra careful to follow the laws. Don't drink and drive, use illegal drugs, bring guns or drugs over the border, etc.
- Take care of yourself. Bring water over the border to avoid dehydration. Wear sunscreen. Bring a list of your prescriptions and basic medical information with you.
- Have an emergency contact and phone number written down.
- If you need assistance, 911 service on U.S. cell phones will work in Puerto Penasco, San Carlos and Guaymas.
- The U.S. Consulate in Puerto Penasco. During business hours call (01-631) 311-8150. After hours and weekends, call (01-631) 302-3342.
- Know the hours of your border crossing point. Not all are open 24 hours.
Violence in Sonora
Eight Sonoran cities made the list of the 121 Mexican municipalities with the most violence per capita:
8. San Luis Río Colorado
17. Agua Prieta
19. Nogales
50. Ciudad Obregón
63. Navojoa

Visitors to the border region, including cities such as Tijuana, Ciudad Juarez, Nuevo Laredo, Nogales, Reynosa and Matamoros, should remain alert and be aware of their surroundings at all times. While this is an official head's up, isn't this good advice for any major city or area where the crime rate is higher than average? There are areas of Phoenix and other Southwest cities where I wouldn't travel except with others and in the bright midday light.

Wegmans is expected to gain a fellow anchor store in the Boulevard at Box Hill in Abingdon this week.
JCPenney is slated to open Friday, Oct. 5, according to a story on ExploreHarford.com.
A promotional website for the Abingdon location, however, states it is already open for business. Tom Fidler, senior vice president for MacKenzie retail, explained the business held a soft opening Sept. 29.
The store is expected to be a template for future JCPenney department store locations, Fidler told ExploreHarford.com.
After much anticipation, the leasing agency for Boulevard at Box Hill announced in February JCPenney would join Wegmans as the second anchor to the developing Abingdon shopping center.
The store is 85,775-square-feet, according to MacKenzie Retail LLC, the leasing agent.
JCPenney is located at 3411 Merchant Boulevard. Hours of operation are 10 a.m.- 9p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Sundays.
The store joins Wegmans, Joe's Crab Shack, Panera Bread and PNC Bank in the developing shopping center.
How do you feel about this new department store? Will you shop there? Leave a comment.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. —
Triumph Foods in St. Joseph says it's expanding its plant with a 30,000-square-foot addition.
The pork processing company announced the $9.5 million investment Thursday and says construction will begin within the next 30 days.
KQTV reports Triumph plans to add about 30 jobs as part of the expansion. The company now has about 2,800 workers at the St. Joseph operation.
Triumph's chief administrative officer, Patt Lilly, says the additional refrigerated space is needed to keep up with demand for its products.

List on Packagist, we list with
league as the vendor namespace.
Shove code in a
src folder.
Write unit tests. Aim for at least 80% coverage for v1.0.
DocBlock all the things.
Semantic versioning must be used to manage version numbers.
Use Travis-CI to automatically check coding standards and run tests.
Have an extensive README.
We're doing this instead of releasing code under our personal accounts for a few reasons, but the main reason is this:
A problem shared is a problem halved.
Working together we take care of business quicker, can get more feedback and respond to issues and pull requests faster.
There are no plans to reinvent any wheels, unless those wheels are old, broken, unsafe or horrible to use. If the code cannot be installed with Composer, has an API written with BizZaroCapS, doesn't have a single unit-test, is actually broken or the lead developer has abandoned the project, then that is a problem which can most likely be solved with a fresh start, and we'll be on the case to make it as awesome as possible.
If this sounds fun and you'd like to join the group you can definitely do that. This is not some stuffy old-boys club where you have to be internet famous or an old friend, you just need to bring over (or start) at least one package that either complies with the rules, or intends to comply with the rules by the next major version.
Probably the best way to submit a new package is by dropping a line to one of the existing package contributors on Twitter. See a complete list above under "Our Packages".
This group is about packages, and not about the people. To keep that clear - and to make sure people are joining for the right reasons - no members list will be posted, but we'll let you know who is in charge of packages so you can poke them with feedback.
We are not here to tell you what to do or how to do it - and contrary to popular belief neither are they. This is an open-source project started by a few friends who wanted a fun vendor name and will continue to grow as we release more and more awesome packages.
