"Having as few as 20 books in the home... has a significant impact on propelling a child to a higher level of education, and the more books you add, the greater the benefit." - Mariah Evans (University of Nevada in Reno)It is my firm belief that every home should have books. It is my commitment to help as many homes as possible accomplish this task. Most of my personal childhood memories center around books. I remember reading "To Give A Mouse A Cookie" and "Where The Sidewalk Ends". "Dear God It's Me Margaret" was the first book I read in one sitting; cover to cover; that book changed my life. I have many personal memories with books that have fostered, not only my development as a student, but also as a person.
"Books have changed my life and without them I would not be half of the person I am today, I want to share this magic with others." - Brittney Greene Founder/CEO Black Positive ImageThe Home Library Campaign will sponsor the start of a home library by providing 10 books to start for each household in our program. Through donations, books drives, book exchanges, etc. we will begin building libraries. To inquire about donations to Black Positive Image's Home Library Campaign contact us at 404-507-2746 or e-mail us at blackpositiveimage(at)gmail.com. Help us give the gift of reading back to our communities.

"Excellent quality for the price"
Pros Made from recycled plastics it's an attractive, good quality printer with a lot of features for a reasonable price.
Cons Like all inkjet printers, the printing cost per page is much higher than laser printers so if text is all you need, I'd skip the inkjet.
Summary Typical HP quality with an excellent feature set for a reasonable price.
"fine product.. terrible lack of instructions..."
on by jackbarry99Pros works great
Cons they give you NO owner manual, with the package, OR on-line.
Example: I had to scan a 7 page document as if it was 7 individual, separate docs, and then attach 7 attachments to one email... STOOOOPID.Summary Go for it, but be prepared to use your intuition, or imagination, or email the company.
"It's the little things that frustrate you"
on by KalashnikovAKPros The fact that the printer is able to scan documents is a very positive feature.Printing is very fast as well.
Cons Jams frequently and still sucks the life out of your cartridges even on Fast Draft settings.
Printer will REFUSE to print if even one colour cartridge is empty.
Often snares two sheets of paper and prints part of a single page on each half.Summary This is a moderately good printer- but its various problems can frustrate you beyond belief when you're trying to print- outrageous ink consumption, paper jams, snagged sheets. If you''re constantly printing important documents- 30 page real-estate forms, post-secondary essays, project reports- avoid this printer at all costs.
Definitely a product not at all up to par with HP's typical quality line of goods. -
"Expensive to operate!"
on by suzaaan26Pros Easy to use.
Cons . A color ink cartridge will print about 25 4 X 6 photos. Ink cartridges are 7.00 (refurbs) to 18.00 (new).Very expensvie to operate if you need to print color photos. The quality of the photos is not worth the expense.
"Well... This is my first All-in-one printer."
on by philos_mokaPros The Speed.
Photo Print Quality.Cons No EXIF.
Bad HP Software.Summary I enjoy this printer, good choice to print pictures.

Product Description
The MUSICFOLDER.com RingBinder is the newest addition to our line of folders, launched in the Spring of 2008 in response to customer demand. It's like a ring binder on steroids, and is 'the' answer for those who primarily want to use rings to hold music that has been hole-punched. Magazine holders fitting into the rings can be used, allowing larger scores, or music not to be hole-punched, to be held in the folder also.
It is a durable, lightweight, ergonomic folder with the most popular features of our other folders, at best price, and optimized for holding hole-punched music. This version has a bottom strap which can be un-buttoned on one side to open the folder flat.
A solidly-mounted 1" set of rings opens with the push of a single button, and they feature a snag-free interlock to avoid catching paper mid-turn, for quiet page turns of recording-studio quality. One of the more important features that differ our folders from other folders is the bottom strap, which is attached at the outside base of the folder. This gives three benefits: more room inside; page turns that don't scrape against the strap; and lastly, a bookmark: that bottom strap angles in at 45 degrees when closing the folder, to act as a bookmark for impromptu bows during concerts - with no panic at the next upbeat - because you're on the right page when the folder opens again.
The folder has a comfortable hand strap at back for you to hold it securely, and the deeply-textured leatherette aids in dissipating perspiration from your hand if you are performing under hot stage lights.
A side-expanding pocket at right can store surplus music. All folders include a name card pocket and name card, and hold US Letter and A4 and all common score sizes with ease. Having only one booster tab at the bottom means that taller European A4 music punched in North American 3-hole style will not bump a ring booster tab at the top.
Finally, a clear pocket is included at left; you can read your concert program or church service bulletin through the transparent pocket, instead of having to pull it up to see the lower portion of the page. It's also handy for notes such as changes in standing order and rehearsal plans for directors. Photos, especially from choirs that tour, tend to end up in that clear pocket too.

Product Summary
- MUSICFOLDER.com RingBinder
The Basic RingBinder
Choirs and singers on a tight budget will soon have a new solution: the Basic RingBinder. Like the very popular Performance RingBinder (which you'll find lower on this page), the Basic RingBinder shares the same dimensions, quality rivets, soft woven handstrap, and detachable button base strap...but it has a different black cover material; a simpler, ordinary 3-ring binder and it omits the corner protectors. The Basic Ringbinder has the same quality control since we manufacture it ourselves, but it will be significantly less expensive. We have an sample of this comfortable, light and ergonomic new folder at booth #237 at the TMEA trade fair. It will be available in quantity in late February/early March.
Volume Discounts
Music folder discounts apply per item at a quantity of 15 and higher.

Most accessories (lights, PocketTones, etc.) have the same item discount pricing, and only a few higher-value accessories have different discount structures as specifically noted.
Number Imprinting
Track your valuable new assets with permanent foil-stamped numbering.
- This allows for easier organization,
- is less expensive than imprinting singer's names, and
- lets you determine, without any question, who to bill if a choir folder goes missing!
The standard numbering location is the top right corner of the front of the folder, the font is 36 pt. Times Roman, and the usual colour is gold.
Blind debossing (imprinting the numbers into the folder without any colour) is an option at no additional cost, and other customized locations are possible.
Standard costs:
$0 setup, $2 per stamped folder.
At 50 and more, $1.75 per folder.
Custom locations: +$1.00
There is a $5 minimum numbering charge with standard settings.
Text Imprinting
Economy Text Imprinting
Economy Text imprinting is imprinting with moveable type, ready for us to do in-house right away with no die-casting or logo etching processes to slow things down. Turnaround time is usually 1 to 3 business days. We offer both upper and lower case letters for excellent legibility, in either the standard 36 pt. Times Roman font, or in a script-like font called Brush which is a little more elegant.
The setup costs are minimal and the per-folder stamping cost is too; see the table below.
The usual location for choir name imprinting is centered, in the upper portion of the front of the folder, approximately 3 to 4 inches (8-10 cm) down from the top. The usual location for imprinting a singer or music director name is at the lower right front corner of the folder.
Economy Text Pricing | Setup | Stamping cost per folder | Stamping cost when 50 or more |
One line, maximum 30 characters | 3.00 | 2.00 | 1.50 |
Two lines, maximum 30 characters each | 6.00 | 2.25 | 1.75 |
Three lines, maximum 30 characters each | 12.00 | 2.50 | 2.00 |
Pricing for Extended line lengths up to 45 characters (any longer line requires a different press): | |||
One line, over 30 characters | 6.00 | 2.00 | 1.50 |
Two lines, any one over 30 characters | 9.00 | 2.25 | 1.75 |
Three lines, any one over 30 characters | 15.00 | 2.50 | 2.00 |
Click a link in the table above which lists what you want, and you'll be directed to the correct form to enter your Economy Text imprinting details.
Die-cast Text Imprinting
Die-cast text imprinting uses type slugs cast from molten metal, and you have a greater flexibility in choice of size and font. We have 15 choices across various popular fonts. As you may expect, setup costs are higher and turnaround time is typically 3-6 business days. However, the per-folder stamping cost is the same. Die-cast text, therefore, is also a very reasonable choice for repetitive imprinting of choir names since the setup cost spreads out nicely across a choir-size order.
For a single order, where a singer chooses a font for their name which they really like from the choices below, the imprinting may cost more than the folder! However, given the quality and longevity of our folders, people do, and are very happy with the result. Given the higher setup cost compared to Economy text imprinting, we see this style of imprinting more often on individual orders which are gifts.
Note that if none of our listed fonts matches your existing typestyle, we can print anything in any font when it is done graphically as a logo (see the Logo imprinting section in the index at left).
Here are the font choices for Die-cast text imprinting:
N.B. Don't trust the screen or print size which you see to be precise, but rather, note that we have listed the point size of each font.
Die-cast Text Pricing | Setup | Stamping cost per folder | Stamping cost when 50 or more |
One line, maximum 30 characters | 30.00 | 2.00 | 1.50 |
Two lines, maximum 30 characters each | 40.00 | 2.25 | 1.75 |
Three lines, maximum 30 characters each | 50.00 | 2.50 | 2.00 |
Pricing for Extended line lengths up to 45 characters (any longer line requires a different press): | |||
One line, over 30 characters | 40.00 | 2.00 | 1.50 |
Two lines, any one over 30 characters | 50.00 | 2.25 | 1.75 |
Three lines, any one over 30 characters | 60.00 | 2.50 | 2.00 |

Imprint Locations:
- Mid-top front; centered
- Upper right front; right-justified
- Lower right front; right-justified
- Inside folder in upper top left
- Upper left back outer edge; left-justified
- Mid-top back; centered
- Lower left back outer edge; left-justified
Logo Imprinting
We can imprint your folders with a logo, or imprint any text layout in any font exactly as you want, because it is done as an image.
These can look amazingly elegant whether in colour (gold is the standard option) or blind debossed (i.e. indented using heat and pressure but no colour) into the folder.
Your image is printed to film then exposed under UV light on a coated plate, then etched, to produce the hot-stamping die which is carefully leveled on the press to produce an even imprint. There is a setup charge, then a stamping cost per folder.
The setup charge is based on area. Math is not your friend here, as you may recall that doubling the width of a square quadruples the area, and the cost. 1 inch=2.54cm for the metrically inclined; the print industry here still uses Imperial measurements.
Depending on the logo, you do want sufficiently large area to prevent fine detail from being obscured, or small detailed spaces filled in, when printing on the textured leatherette material. Our maximum imprint area without outsourcing is 5"x12" (or 12"x5") but logos with good line separation can be done very nicely at a 2x2 or 3x3 size, for example. Roughly 90% of the logos we print are between 4 and 12 square inches.
Logo Image Pricing: | Setup | Stamping cost per folder | Stamping cost when 50 or more |
5 square inches or less (e.g. 2"x2.5") | 50.00 | 3.00 | 2.50 |
More than 5 square inches: | $10/square inch | 3.00 | 2.50 |
Enter the specifications for your logo below as you load your order details into the shopping cart. Then E-mail your file (minimum resolution must be 300 dpi) to firstname.lastname@example.com
Preferred format is PDF. EPS, TIFF, GIF, JPG may also be acceptable. The best place for logos is mid-top front, centered. Larger logos may have some positioning restrictions as the surface must be perfectly level, so we can't come too near the boundary of a pocket or its expanding edge below, for example.
- Mid-top front; centered
- Upper right front; right-justified
- Lower right front; right-justified
- Inside folder in upper top left
- Upper left back outer edge; left-justified
- Mid-top back; centered
- Lower left back outer edge; left-justified
Usual position for choir name imprinting is mid-top front center of the folder, and individuals at lower right front.

2002 Dodge Grand Caravan - EX FWD
Pros: automatic doors-both sliding and rear hatch
Cons: nothing
Advice: They don't deal as well on the EX, but you get more features for the price.
I had a 97 Grand Caravan Sport and traded it for a Suburban. We thought we wanted an SUV. I missed my van. I just bought a new EX in stone white. It is beautiful. Many new features than my 97. I'll never let go of my mini van again. My boys are 3 and 18 mos. and this is the best vehicle for kids! -

The new Mayor of Truckville is here ! ! ! I'm totally satisfied with mine, which I bought 3 weeks ago - 2002 1500 Quad Cab 1500 SLT, 2 Wheel drive with the 4 speed automatic, cloth seats, and the preferred package 26G, trailer tow group, 17' Chrome clad wheels. Now I need to find a camper. The ride is firm but comfortable, handling is predictable with just a bit of side hop over washboard surfaces with no load, wind noise with the windows closed is negligable, the climate control works well, unlike that in the Durango, there's plenty of visibility all around, and the trailer-tow mirrors have integral blind-spot mirrors as well. -
2002 Dodge Ram 1500 - ST 4x2 Quad Cab Short Box

Including leather seating with heaters, full Infinity stereo with six speakers. (sounds great ) . -

Advice: Get one!
Didn't even realize I was driving a SUV! -

Cons: gas mileage
Advice: want a really nice powerful truck?(go for it) like gas milage(keep looking)

2002 Dodge Dakota - Base 4x2 Regular Cab
Pros: Blowing the doors off those annoying and loud souped up honda civics
Cons: Using grade 87 fuel will cause a loud rattling noise durring jack rabbit take-offs.
Advice: Get the R/T 5.9L 4x4
Even on the 3.9L V6, the optimal performance of the vehicle is wonderful. The accessories are easy to retrieve through mopar or the local dealership, and it easily upgrds the appearance of the truck. The cockpit of the truck is unique in its class, offering excellent visability. And the towing capibilities are supurb for a compact truck.

Results tagged ' Yao-Lin Wang '
Minor Matters – April 23, 2013 (Cubs Minor League Reports)
At The Plate - Not a lot going on for the Cubs in this one as they could only manage one run on four hits in the loss. Logan Watkins was 1-for-2 with, yes you guessed it, two walks, and a caught stealing. Ryan Sweeney was 1-for-4, while Brian Bogusevic was 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored. Brad Nelson was 1-for-3 with an RBI in the loss.
On The Mound – Nick Struck was solid in this one, but was still hung with the loss as he fell to 0-2 on the season. Struck went six innings giving up two runs on five hits while walking two. Casey Coleman tossed a scoreless inning out of the pen and he also struck out the side. Yoanner Negrin had his second straight rough outing as he gave up two runs on three hits in one inning of work.
At The Plate - Really tough loss for the Smokies in this one as they let a 3-1 lead get away in the ninth. Christian Villanueva was 2-for-4 with an RBI in the loss. Johermyn Chavez was 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, and a run scored. Jonathan Mota was 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI's, a double, and a run scored. Matt Szczur and Arismendy Alcantara continue to tear up the base paths as Szcur stole base number seven, and Alcantara registered his eleventh stolen base already.
On The Mound – Kyle Hendricks was down right nasty, unfortunately he had to settle for a no decision. Hendricks went seven innings giving up one run on three hits while walking one and striking out nine. Zach Rosscup had another solid outing out of the pen tossing a scoreless inning while giving up on hit and striking out three. Trey McNutt didn't have his command and it came back to haunt him in this one, he worked the ninth and gave up three runs on three hits while walking two to get a blown save and the loss.
At The Plate – A powerless night for Daytona as they could only manage four hits while being shut out. Ben Carhart had a solid game going 2-for-3 with a double. Zeke DeVoss and John Andreoli added singles and that was it. Daytona walked only once, and it was Javier Baez go figure, and struck out ten times.
On The Mound – P.J. Francescon had an encouraging outing as he had been roughed up as of late. He worked five inning giving up one run on five hits while walking two and striking out four, he got the loss. Yao-Lin Wang struggled out of the pen as he went 1.1 innings giving up two runs on four hits while walking one and striking out one. Frank Del Valle was outstanding again going 1.2 scoreless innings while walking one and striking out four.
Guess what? Yep, you're right, Kane County was rained out.

Minor Matters – April 17, 2013 (Cubs Minor League Recaps)
At The Plate – The Smokies could only manage six hits, but worked seven walks en route to beating Huntsville 4-1. Arismendy Alcantara had quite the day at the plate and on the base paths. Alcantara was 1-for-1 with three walks, four(!) stolen bases, two errors (oops), and a run scored. Christian Villanueva had the big blow in this one going 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run, three RBI's, and a run scored. Justin Bour was 1-for-2 with two walks, and a run scored.
On The Mound – Eric Jokisch was outstanding today going six scoreless innings giving up three hits with no walks while striking out seven to earn his second win of the season. Zach Rosscup was solid out of the pen going two scoreless innings giving up one hit while walking one. Brian Schlitter had trouble with his command in the ninth giving up one run, unearned, on no hits while walking two.
At The Plate – After giving up fifteen runs on twenty-seven hits a day ago the D-Cubs got some payback today. Daytona scored thirteen runs on twelve hits with seven different players registering at least one hit, the Cubs also walked eleven(!) times. Zeke DeVoss got things started at the top going 1-for-2 with three walks, a stolen base, a caught stealing, a double, and two runs scored. Javier Baez looks to be coming around at the plate as he had a monster game today going 3-for-6 with a home run, two RBI's and three runs scored. Dustin Geiger continues to pound the ball as of late, he went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, four RBI's and two runs scored. Ben Carhart was 2-for-5 with two RBI's in the win.
On The Mound - The D-Cubs pitching bounced back nicely today. Yao-Lin Wang got the start going four innings giving up one run on three hits while walking one and striking two. Austin Kirk came out the pen today and actually went more innings than Yao-Lin in this one. Kirk went five innings to get the win, he gave up one run on three hits while walking two and striking out four.
NOTES: Kane County and Iowa were both rained out

Minor Matters – April 12, 2013 (Cubs Minor League Recaps)
At The Plate – The I-Cubs were looking pretty good through four innings, then the bottom fell out, and that's putting it nicely. Logan Watkins continues to embody everything that Theo Epstein wants, as he was 0-for-2 from the lead-off spot but had three walks. Ryan Sweeney was 1-for-4 with his second home run of the season, two RBI's, and a run scored. Brian Bogusevic, and J.C. Boscan each had two hits in the loss. Edwin Maysonet only had one hit on the night, but he was productive as he had three RBI's.
On The Mound – Nick Struck did just fine tonight, I know the final score doesn't indicate that but he was solid. Struck went four innings giving up two runs on five hits while walking one and striking out three. That was the end of the good news for the Iowa pitching. Esmailin Caridad was hung with the loss, he worked one inning giving up five runs, four earned, on three hits while walking three and striking out one. Jaye Chapman was even worse as he gave up five runs on six hits while walking one and striking out one in just two-thirds of an inning. Cory Wade had an odd stat line, he went three innings giving up two runs on NO hits while walking three and striking out five. The I-Cubs are now 1-8 on the season.
At The Plate – The Smokies could only manage four hits and two runs but that was just enough for the victory. Matt Szczur continued his strong start to the season from the lead-off spot going 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI, two stolen bases, and a run scored. Jae-Hoon Ha was 1-for-3 with the only other RBI for the Smokies. Rubi Silva, and Jonathan Mota tallied the only other hits for the Smokies in the win.
On The Mound – Outstanding work all night for the Smokies pitchers. Eric Jokisch got the start and also the victory as he went six strong innings giving up one run on four hits while walking one and striking out three. Tony Zych, Zach Rosscup, and Trey McNutt all tossed scoreless innings to shut the door on the Lookouts. Trey McNutt earned his first save of the season and has yet to give up a run in 2013.
At The Plate - The D-Cubs didn't need much in this one, but they were able to score five times on just six hits. Taiwan Easterling had another solid game going 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI's and a run scored. Javier Baez was 1-for-4 with a walk, and an RBI, much better approach from Baez in this one. Stephen Bruno was 1-for-4 with a double, and a run scored.
On The Mound - Austin Kirk was outstanding despite fighting his command early. Kirk went five scoreless innings giving up two hits while walking four and striking out two, he improves to 1-0 with a 1.13 ERA. Yao-Lin Wang was just as good out of the pen going four scoreless innings giving up one hit while walking one and striking out five to earn the rare four inning save.
NOTES: Kane County was scheduled to play a double header in Wisconsin today but for the second straight day they were snowed out. They are planning on playing a double header tomorrow and Saturday to make up for the last two days. Ronald Torreyes is back! He was a week late in arriving to camp and stayed about a week late to make up for it. He has now been assigned to AA Tennessee.

Minor Matters – April 6, 2013
At The Plate – The Iowa Cubs scattered nine hits in the loss, and were 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position in suffering their third straight loss. Newly acquired Ryan Sweeney got things going right away as he was 3-for-3 with a double, an RBI, a walk, and a run scored. Brad Nelson was 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, and a run scored.
On The Mound – Brooks Raley got the start and was rough up in four innings of work. He gave up four runs on seven hits while walking two and striking out three, he was tagged with the loss. Yoanner Negrin was solid out of the pen going two scoreless innings giving up no hits while walking one and striking out three. Zach Putnam and Rafael Dolis were both touched up as they gave up a combined four runs over the last two innings.
At The Plate - You wouldn't know it by the score, this was a pitchers duel up until the top of the 12th when the Smokies scored 8 times to win this one. Matt Szczur was terrific from the lead-off spot again going 2-for-7 with three RBI's, and a run scored. Jae-Hoon Ha continued his hot start going 3-for-5 with two RBI's, a stolen base, and a run scored.
On The Mound – The Smokies had to use five pitchers to get through this one and all were effective as they totaled 15 strikeouts in twelve innings. Eric Jokisch got the start and was solid going six innings giving up one run on three hits while walking two and striking out seven. Kevin Rhoderick, Marcus Hatley, Frank Batista, and Brian Schlitter all had scoreless appearances with Batista getting the win.
At The Plate – It was the Jorge Soler show in this one as he went 2-for-3 with a home run, an RBI, and two runs scored. Timothy Saunders also had a solid night going 3-for-4. Stephen Bruno was 2-for-3 with a run scored, Javier Baez had a rough night going 0-for-4 with an error.
On The Mound - The trio of Austin Kirk, Yao-Lin Wang, and Frank Del Valle shut down the Manatees. Kirk got the start and went three innings giving up two runs, one earned, on four hits while walking two and striking out two. Yao-Lin Wang was awesome going three innings only giving up a single, while walking one and striking out four. Frank Del Valle was even better going three innings only allowing one hit while walking one and striking out six to earn the save.
At The Plate – Fireworks everywhere as the Cougars trailed 7-0 and 8-1 before tying it at ten in the ninth before falling 13-10 in eleven innings. The Cougars pounded out 19 hits with seven guys having multi-hit nights. Daniel Vogelbach was 3-for-6 with a double and an RBI. Rock Shoulders had a huge game going 4-for-6 with two RBI's and a run scored. Oliver Zapata was outstanding going 3-for-6 with a triple, a home run, five RBI's, and a run scored.
On The Mound – Obviously not much good here. Cougars pitchers gave up 17 hits in the loss. Jose Arias got the start and got the brunt of the River Bandits attack. Arias only went 1.2 innings giving up seven runs, six earned, on seven hits while walking none and struck out two. Nathan Dorris was the most effective Cougar going 2.1 innings giving up one run on three hits while walking two and striking out three. Ian Dickson was solid but had no command, he went five innings giving up two runs on four hits while walking three and striking out four.

PJ Francescon started and was really good pitching six innings allowing one run on three hits, while striking out three. AJ Morris got the call in the seventh and recorded his sixth save of the season.
It took extra innings in game two as Daytona ended up on the losing end of the second one 3-1. Frank Del Valle started and pitched five innings allowing one run and striking out six.

Greg Rohan, Dave Sappelt, and Jeff Frazier all had one hit a piece in the shutout loss.

8/24: Around the Cubs Minor League System
Our nightly trip through the Cubs minor leagues. The AZL Cubs were off on Friday night.
Things were looking good for Boise after a six run second, but Vancouver quickly scored four in the bottom half and ended up beating the Hawks 7-6. With Tayler Scott staked to a four run lead, it was easy to assume this one was over, but Scott was not at his best today, but left with a chance to win as he left with the lead. He pitched five innings allowing five runs on seven hits, while walking four and striking out three. Rafael Diplan pitched the final three innings and took the loss as he gave up two runs, one of which was unearned. At the plate Marco Hernandez had a good night going 3-for-4 with a run scored. Albert Almora and Jeimer Candelario also had good nights as each had two hits with Almora scoring a run. Lance Rymel had one hit on the evening and also drove in two runs. Darien Martin and Stephen Bruno each had a hit and an RBI in the loss. Not a good loss for Boise, but they have come back strong all second half, I expect much of the same.
Beloit took an early lead and never looked back beating Peoria 8-2 on Friday night. Yao-Lin Wang started and took the loss pitching 4.1 innings and allowing six runs, four earned on 10 hits. Willengton Cruz pitched two innings allowing two runs and Austin Reed pitched a scoreless frame. There were only a couple bright spots on the offensive side of things for the Chiefs in this one. Dustin Geiger was 2-for-3 with a home run, his 17th of the season and two RBIs. Chadd Krist also had two hits and Zeke DeVoss added a hit and scored a run as well. Jorge Soler got the night off for Peoria.
Daytona won the first game of a double-header on Friday 4-3. Kyle Hendricks started and got his first win with the Cubs as he went five innings allowing two runs on three hits, while striking out three. AJ Morris recorded his fifth save of the season as he pitched the final two innings of game one. Down 2-0 Elieser Bonne quickly gave the Cubs the lead connecting on a three run homer, his third of the season. In the sixth inning Christian Villanueva gave Daytona a two run lead as he hit his third home run since coming to the Cubs. John Andreoli had two hits in the win.
Game two didn't go as well as Daytona lost to Tampa 11-5. Matt Loosen had a really rough outing as he gave up eight runs on five hits to go along with six walks and seven strikeouts. Hunter Cervenka proved to not be much better allowing three more runs over the next 2.2 innings. Offensively speaking Christian Villanueva started right where he left off going 2-for-3 witha double and two runs scored. Elieser Bonne also had two hits including a double and John Andreoli had a hit and two RBIs. Rebel Ridling and Nelson Perez each had a hit and an RBI a piece. Javier Baez was held hitless in game one, but added a hit and an RBI in the game two loss.
A seven run third inning helped Tennessee beat Mobile 11-5. Dallas Beeler was the beneficiary of all those runs as he got the win despite giving up five runs in five innings. Kevin Rhoderick and Tony Zych pitched two scoreless innings a piece to close out the game. The Smokies a had few really nice nights at the plate starting with Matt Sczcur who was 2-for-4 with a home run and three runs scored. Logan Watkins was 3-for-5 with a double, two runs scored, and an RBI. Jae-Hoon Ha and Rubi Silva each had two hits with Ha having two doubles and driving in three. Silva hit his first home run and drove in two. Junior Lake had a home run of his own and knocked in three. Justin Bour had a double and walked three times, but unbelievably didn't have an RBI in the Smokies 11 run win.
Iowa scored two in the seventh and one in the eighth to defeat Oklahoma City 5-3. Yoanner Negrin started, but did not factor in the decision as he gave up three runs on eight hits in six innings pitched. Jay Jackson got the win in relief as he pitched a scoreless seventh inning. After Scott Maine threw a scoreless eighth Jairo Asencio struck out two in the ninth and picked up his fourth save. Tony Campana had a nice night at the top of the order going 2-for-4 with a triple, a run scored, and an RBI. Jeff Frazier and Diory Hernandez each had two hits with Hernandez driving in one run. Adrian Cardenas had only one hit, but it was a home run as he knocked in two in the Cubs win.

8/13: Around the Cubs Minor League System
Here is a look at the Cubs minor league affiliates on Monday, August 13. Daytona and Tennessee each had the night off.
The AZL Cubs just exploded pounding out 25 hits and scoring 17 runs beating Reds 17-7. I don't even know where to start with this one, except make sure to look at the full box score because I won't be able to mention all the awesome things that happened in this one. Albert Almora led the way going 5-for-6 with a triple, three runs scored, and three RBIs. Garrett Schlect had two doubles and drove in three and Daniel Lockhart hit his first home run and drove in three as well. Carlos Penalver was 4-for-6 with three runs scored and Yasiel Balaguert was the only Cub to not have a multi-hit game, but he did knock in three of his own. Trevor Gretzky, Shawon Dunston, and Justin Marra all had three hits a piece, with Dunston adding two RBIs and Marra driving in one. David Bote also had two hits. There I think I got through all of the offensive numbers. Paul Blackburn started, but did not have his best outing allowing four runs, three earned in two innings. On a positive Dillon Maples was spectacular pitching three scoreless innings allowing only two hits while striking out five. Chad Martin and Ryan Hartman also pitched in this landslide victory.
A nine run eighth was way too much for Boise to overcome losing 11-4 on Monday night. Jose Arias pitched six innings allowing two runs on six hits, while striking out four. He left in line for the win and after Willengton Cruz pitched a scoreless seventh things were looking good. Good turned to really bad when Hayden Simpson came on in relief. He had a terrible outing giving up eight run, six earned on six hits all the while only recording one out. He obviously took the loss as there was no way the Hawks were going to come back from that. Offensively speaking there were some good things to come out of the Monday nights loss. Jeimer Candelario was 3-for-4, raising his average to .294. Marco Hernandez had two hits of his own, including a triple and an RBI. Stephen Bruno and Wilson Contreras had a hit and an RBI a piece while Gioskar Amaya added two hits from the leadoff spot.
Peoria tied the game at two in the top of eighth, but gave one up in the bottom half and lost 3-2 to Beloit. Yao-Lin Wang started and pitched pretty good going six innings allowing two runs on three hits, walking one and striking out four. Austin Reed took the loss allowing one unearned run in his two innings of work. Jorge Soler went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored. Oliver Zapata added a double and an RBI on the evening. Zeke DeVoss, Chadd Krist, and Bijan Rademacher all had one hit a piece in the Chiefs loss on Monday.
Iowa's pitchers struggled big time in this one as the Cubs lost 14-7. Ryan Rowland-Smith started and took the loss giving up five runs in four inning. Jaye Chapman, Seth McClung and Brian Esposito all pitched and gave up multiple runs each. Jay Jackson was the only Cubs pitcher to come out unscathed recording two outs. Offensively speaking Tony Campana had a nice night going 3-for-4 with three runs scored and two stolen bases. Greg Rohan and Dave Sappelt each had a hit and two RBIs in the loss to Las Vegas on Monday night.

8/8: Around the Cubs Minor League System
Sorry this is getting up later than normal, but here is Wednesday's minor league recap.
The AZL Cubs pick up where they left off beating the Dodgers 5-2. Paul Blackburn started and pitched two innings giving up two unearned runs on four hits, while striking out two. Chad Martin got his first win of the season pitching two scoreless innings. Dillon Maples then went to the mound and struck out three in his two innings of scoreless baseball. Corbin Hoffner then pitched two scoreless followed by Ryan Hartman notching his second save of the season. Offensively Davie Bote had a really nice game going 3-for-3 with two doubles and two RBIs. Treveor Gretzky was 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI. Shawon Dunston also added two hit, including a triple and he drove in a run. Albert Almora had a hit and an RBI, his seventh of the season.
Another night and another win for Boise beating Everett 8-6. Dan Vogelbach hit another home run, this one a two-run shot. Rock Shoulders also hit a home run, his was a grand slam. Jeimer Candelario had a hit and an RBI of his own. Wilson Contreras was the only Hawks player to have a multi-hit game ending the night 2-for-4. Gioskar Amaya only had one hit, but did score three runs. Jose Arias pitched good enough to get the win, but did allow three runs on four hits while striking out six. Hayden Simpson pitched three innings allowing three runs, but struck out four and Eduardo Orozco preserved the lead notching his third save pitching a scoreless ninth.
Peoria gave up four in the eighth and one in the ninth to put the game into extra innings. It took until the 14th when the Chiefs put up two, Burlington came right back and scored three and won the game 9-8. Timothy Saunders went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBIs, and two stolen bases. Paul Hoilman also had two hits, including a home run and two RBIs. Dustin Geiger added two hits and three RBIs and Zeke DeVoss went 3-for-7 with two runs scored and a stolen base. Yao-Lin Wang got the start and pitched outstanding going six strong innings. he allowed only one run on three hits and struck out 10 without walking a batter. Luis Liria and Austin Reed both struggled combining to allow five runs in three innings. Sheldon McDonald pitched three nice innings, but Pete Levitt took the loss allowing all three runs in the 14th. It really should have never gotten to extra innings, but then to take a lead there and still lose is a tough pill to swallow.
Daytona was postponed due to rain.
Huntsville scored three in the first and three more in the third and never looked back beating Tennessee 7-2. Junior Lake was 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI, he is now hitting .288. Matt Szczur went 1-for-5 with a triple and an RBI. In really good new Jae-Hoon Ha was back on the field for the first time since his scary collision with an unpadded wall that led to a concussion. He ended the night 1-for-4. Dallas Beeler started and took the loss giving up six runs, five earned in the just three innings pitched. Casey Harman pitched three nice innings allowing only one run on three hits and striking out two. Casey Weathers, Tony Zych, and Frank Batista combined to pitch the last three scoreless innings. It was really nice to see Ha back on the field, hope he can stay there the rest of the way.
The game was tied at one going to the extra innings, but Reno scored four in the 10th and beat Iowa 5-1. Ryan Rowland-Smith got the start and pitched beautifully allowing one run on only two hits in six innings of work. Blake Parker continues hit rehab pitching one scoreless inning. Jay Jackson pitched two good innings, but struggled in the 10th allowing four runs in taking the loss. Greg Rohan did not have a hit, but drove in the lone Cubs run. Dave Sappelt was 1-for-4 with a double and Matt Tolbert was the only Cubs player with a multi-hit game going 2-for-2 with a double of his own.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) Mark Parrish had his sixth career hat trick in his Dallas debut and the Stars beat the Anaheim Ducks 5-2 on Friday night.
Parrish, who signed a one-year deal with Dallas on Wednesday, had two power-play goals and a breakaway tally in the first 26 minutes of play. GAME REPORT: Stars 5, Ducks 2
Fabian Brunnstrom and Brad Richards also scored for the Stars. Mike Ribeiro added two assists as Dallas ended a three-game winless streak. Marty Turco made 28 saves while holding the opposition to two goals or less for just the second time in eleven appearances this season. Brendan Morrison and Scott Niedermayer scored for the Ducks, who lost in regulation for the first time since a 3-1 setback against Carolina on October 19. Anaheim was 8-0-1 in its previous nine games. Parrish played for Minnesota the past two seasons, but the Wild bought out his contract this summer. He signed with a tryout deal with Bridgeport of the AHL on Oct. 22 and had a goal and an assist in three games with the Islanders' farm club before joining the Stars. The 10-year veteran wasted little time making an impact with his new team. He beat goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere for a power-play goal in the first, giving Dallas a 2-0 lead with a one-timer from the right side of the crease. Parrish added two more goals in the second. He beat Giguere from the slot during another power play and gave Dallas a 4-1 lead with a breakaway 5:52 into the period. The Stars had been struggling on the power play, scoring just two goals in their last 20 chances, but playing the Ducks seemed to be the cure the team needed. Dallas eliminated the Ducks in a six-game series in the opening round of the playoffs last season. The Stars had 10 goals in 38 power-play opportunities in the series. Aside from Parrish's instant offense, the Stars also got defenseman Sergei Zubov back into the lineup. Zubov made his season debut after missing all of training camp and the first 12 games of the season following hip surgery in September. With Parrish and Zubov in place, the fortified Stars were able to secure their first win on a five-game road trip that began with losses in Chicago and Boston last weekend. Brunnstrom tapped in a rebound of a Ribeiro wraparound attempt to give Dallas a 1-0 lead 7:07 into the game. Sean Avery then did his thing to help Parrish get started. First, the pesky forward made a swift pass from behind the net to set up Parrish and give the Stars a two-goal lead. After Morrison scored for the Ducks — swatting a loose puck under Turco — Avery began yapping at Ducks winger Chris Kunitz as the players sat on the their respective benches. Once they got on the ice, Kunitz leveled Avery with a check late in the period, resulting in a boarding call that carried over into the second. Working on that man-advantage, Parish scored from the slot to make it 3-1. Jonas Hiller replaced Giguere after Parrish's third goal, and Giguere heaved his stick while heading to the bench. Notes: Ducks enforcer George Parros returned to the lineup after missing three games with a right-eye abrasion. ... With his first-period assist on Morrison's goal, Teemu Selanne became Anaheim's franchise leader with 370 career assists. Paul Kariya had 369 assists skating in 606 games for the Ducks. ... The Stars are the fifth team Parrish has skated for. Copyright 2008 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

Even though his character is banned from WWE, a new shirt for Big Show has just been released.
In order to sell his big match at Wrestlemania 3 against Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant was promoted as having an undefeated streak that stretched over fifteen years. Gorilla Monsoon heavily sold that fact as well. However, he had actually been beaten a few times in other countries during that time period.
After the eight grade, Andre the Giant decided to drop out of school, as the future WWE legend did not believe that an education was needed in order to be a farmer.
At just the age of 17, Andre the Giant moved from Grenoble to Paris to start training for professional wrestling. He hit the mats at night, while working as a mover during the day to pay his bills.
Andre the Giant was 6'3" and 240 pounds by the time he was 12 years old.
A new book, being done in comic form, about WWE legend Andre the Giant is expected to be released early in 2014.

Shelter open at Lord Botetourt
From Botetourt Emergency Services:
An emergency shelter has been opened at Lord Botetourt High School. Assistant County Administrator and EMS Adminstrator Spencer Suter said that people bring basic sustenance and any medications they require. Lord Botetourt does have power and they are putting air conditioning on now.
Suter also said 8,500 AEP customers, almost all of Dominion customers, and an unknown number of Craig-Botetourt customers remain without power. Emergency Services expects to send a press release from dispatch soon.
One of the problems is there remains little wire internet services throughout Botetourt County and many landline services are down due to fallen trees.
With extreme heat predicted, EMS advises citizens use caution and seek shelter today.

In ye olden days when dragons flew the sky and grain was still milled with water wheels, most foundations only accepted paper submissions.

Foundations Give Away Five Percent Of Their Assets a Year: Typhoon Haiyan Shows Why You Should Act Now, Not Later

As you've probably noticed if you're reading any news, typhoon Haiyan likely killed at least 10,000 people in the Philippines. That's obviously a human tragedy, but there's one small implication for nonprofit: it pays to apply for foundation funding sooner, rather than later. The reason is simple.

Many nonprofits think they should try hard to develop "relationships" with funders, particularly with foundations and, to a lesser extent, government agencies. In my experience, this practice is mostly a waste of time. Like an aging hooker at a honky-tonk bar, it could work, but it helps if it's late at night, the lights are [...]

The New Ghostbusters #1 Written by Erik Burnham Art by Dan Schoening Colors by Luis Antonio DelGado & Andrew Harmon Real Ghostbusters Story & Art by Erik Burnham Real Ghostbusters colors by Luis Antonio DelGado Letters by Neil Uyetake Edits by Tom Waltz Covers by Dan Schoening & Xermanico IDW Publishing Release Date: February 13, 2013 Cover Price: $2.99
The New Ghostbusters #1 ushers in a brand new era in professional paranormal elimination. Now, everyone know that they "Real" Ghostbusters are irreplaceable. So, how does the new team measure up? Let's take a look…
Erik Burnham manages to take (mostly) all new characters and make them into a brand new team of Ghostbusters with the same spirit (no pun intended) of the old team. Yes, they are TOTALLY different than the old team, but they still have humor, heart, and most of all, a lot of fun. Burnham pulls some VERY cool surprises out of thin air, like how the NYC brass deal with this new group of Ghostbusters, what they are doing to find and rescue Ray, Peter, Egon, and Winston, and also how they deal with the Ghostbusters perpetual pain in the neck, Walter Peck. It's new, bold, refreshing, and yet familiar.
Dan Schoening transitions flawlessly to this new cast – granted, he's drawn all of them before, but there seems to be a little bit of new life into his pages. It's a joy to see his take on two characters that we've seen before and he does a great job bringing the two brand new characters into the world of the Ghostbusters, where he makes them fit right in.
A great first issue, and a great comic in general. Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the Real Ghostbusters back-up at the end of the book. Burnham takes on double duties as writer and artist, and in two pages, starts off what I think will be a fantastic story. Grab this one, folks! It's definitely worth it.

Medical Center of McKinney's Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Delivers Extraordinary Care
The birth of a child is one of life's most celebrated events. When this highly-anticipated day finally arrives for you and your family, Medical Center of McKinney's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is ready to provide the skilled expertise you deserve.
When armed with proper prenatal care and the high quality care of an obstetrician, most "precious bundles" enter this world without complications. Yet, according to the March of Dimes, approximately 10 to 15% of all newborn babies require a higher level of care.
The specialized care required for unforeseen complications is best provided in an environment designed to foster growth in newborns with developmental issues. Medical Center of McKinney's NICU delivers this essential care to your newborn. Our state-of-the-art Level III NICU is available to provide care for the smallest and sickest of infants, as well as for full-term babies in need of a little extra "TLC" before going home.
The highly-skilled neonatologists and nursing staff at MCM's Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit are fully committed to providing the highest quality and most comprehensive medical care to premature and sick infants.
Specialized features of MCM's Level III NICU include:
- Staffing by neonatologists (physicians who care for premature babies or sick infants); neonatal nurse practitioners; specially trained nurses and respiratory professionals who provide 24-hour in-hospital coverage for infants and families requiring advanced care.
- Immediate access to pediatric subspecialties including cardiology, ear, nose and throat, pulmonology, infectious disease, urology and hematology.
- A seven-bed Level III NICU and seven-bed "Step Down" nursery to which babies are transferred before going home.
- Special Giraffe beds, which are designed to reduce stress on the baby and eliminate the need to move the infant from bed to bed as they grow and develop.
- A wide range of sophisticated breathing and ventilation treatments for premature babies, including ventilators, continuous positive airway pressure machines, high flow nasal cannulas, and surfactant therapy.
At MCM's NICU, we celebrate the birth of each and every child. We believe the environment of our facility is a direct reflection of our philosophy of family-centered and developmentally supportive care. While caring for infants is critically important to us, helping the whole family understand and be involved in their baby's care is equally essential.
