Wolves get draw number 2 for Saunders
By: DJ | January 19th, 2013Two games in charge for Dean Saunders at Wolves now, and two draws. It was a game in which Wolves were really poor in the first half and were lucky to be level at the break. But they were improved after the break and in the end they had the majority of possession without creating chances.
There was one change from the team that played Blackburn last week with Ebanks Blake coming in for Cassidy;
Zubar, Johnson, Berra, Ward
Foley, Henry, Davis, Sako
Doyle, Ebanks Blake
Wolves had a shot in the first 30 seconds but SEB's effort dips over the bar. Wednesday had the first clear opportunity but Jermaine Johnson blasted his shot high and wide. Doyle almost got through after ten minutes but is crowded out. Then there was a comedy moment as Ikeme kicked a ball out of his area. Antonio had been standing in front of the Wolves keeper on a few occasions and forcing wide kicks from him but he wished he hadn't on this occasion as the kick hit him smack in the face and he needed treatment for a few minutes as he was poleaxed.
Wolves were looking increasingly vulnerable in defence and after real confusion Ikeme came to the edge of his area but had to chest the ball away as he was in danger of going outside his area if he caught the ball and when the ball fell to Jermaine Johnson he should have done better with his lob towards the empty goal. Then the same player beat Davis and brought a save out of Ikeme, who also has to save from Antonio. Wolves were hanging on now and from a header from a corner Ikeme clutched the ball under his cross bar and falls right on the goal line in a close call. Then a mix up between Ward and Johnson left Antonio with a chance and he was narrowly wide. Then Johnson heads away directly to Coke who blasted over before more sloppy defending saw Lee miss by inches with a shot from just inside the box.
Wolves had been knocking far too many long balls that were food and drink to the Wednesday central defenders and they failed to get Sako involved in the game at all. Berra and Johnson were both looking shaky in defence and they had Ikeme to thank for still being in the game at half time.
No changes of personnel at the break but a significant change in approach as the formation changed to 4-2-3-1;
Zubar, Johnson, Berra, Ward
Henry, Davis
Doyle, Foley, Sako
The change meant Wolves cut out the long balls and started playing the ball through the middle of the park and it lead to a significant improvement. At least it showed Saunders was prepared to be flexible but it was clear Wednesday had identified Sako as the Wolves creator and whenever Wolves tried to get him in the game he was surrounded by two and sometimes three defenders.
There was a bizarre incident as a tussle involving Davis saw the ball go out for a Wednesday throw and then Davis blocking the throw with his hand and getting booked. But the ref seemed to forget the handball as he gave the home team a throw rather than a free kick. Then the ref gets it wrong again as Doyle breaks to the edge of the Wednesday area before being hacked down only for play to be waved on.
O'Hara replaced Davis on the hour and Wolves by now were playing much better but from a break Antonio shrugs Berra aside before shooting over with Wolves players surrounding the ref to protest that Berra was fouled. Cassidy replaced Ebanks Blake and then Peszko came on for Sako but the best chance of the game then fell to Wednesday when Antonio misses a cross when it seemed easier to score. Doyle shot over for Wolves from a rare attempt on goal but the home team had the final chance when a cross flashed across goal with nobody able to get a touch.
Ikeme – had an excellent game with a series of good saves and caught some difficult crosses in a crowded area
Zubar – defended ok but some wild clearances. Made some good runs forward in the second half
Johnson – not his steadiest of games with some poor clearances and played team mates into trouble a few times
Berra – looked well off his game today with some poor clearances and caught in possession a few times
Ward – poor passing out of defence and rarely got forward
Foley – busy but not that effective. Moved from the right of midfield to playing behind the striker after the break
Henry – not able to cut out Wednesday players running at the defence and contributed nothing to building attacks
Davis – ineffective game and probably too similar to Henry to form a good partnership with him
Sako – never able to get into the game and literally hardly had a kick in the first 40 minutes
Doyle – had a few runs at the defence and a couple of shots but never really looks like scoring many
SEB – no look in first half and not suited to the lone striker role he performed after the break
O'Hara – added some passing control when he came on and must be ready for a start soon
Peszko – a lively late cameo performances as he did last week
Cassidy – won a couple of headers late on but no real chance to impress
Not a great performance but an ok point. The long ball game played first half didn't work at all but to be fair to Saunders he changed that after the break. But if Wolves are to make progress up the league they are going to need to prove they are one of the better teams rather than setting up to be solid and difficult to beat. It was more fortune and good keeping that saw them level at the break and they need to offer more of an attacking threat to make progress. A midfield that includes Foley, Henry and Davis is never going to be creative and it is to be hoped that with O'Hara, Peszko and Sigurdarson now fit we will see a more adventurous approach in the coming weeks, and maybe a new face or two in the transfer window.

JEFFERSON CITY, MO (AP) - The Missouri Senate has advanced legislation allowing stand-ins for certain political candidates when they file for office.
The bill would let people who are on active military duty or have disabilities appoint others to take their places in line at a filing venue.
Thursday's 32-0 Senate vote sent the measure to the House, which passed a similar bill earlier this year.
Candidates on active duty in the military or with a physical disability would have to file for an election by mail. The legislation would then let a candidate's representative show up in-person to pick a number, which is used to establish the ballot order.
Filing for Missouri's August party primaries runs this year from Feb. 25 through March 25.
Candidate filing is SB 630

Brewer Nation Interview Series: Mitch Haniger
As you all know, I like to interview players shortly after they're drafted in an effort to help the fan base get to know them as well and learning more about them than just the numbers from college or high school say or what's in a scouting report. I interviewed the Brewers' 2013 11th round draft pick Andy Hillis back in June this year, for example.
I also like to follow up with the players every now and then, and that's what I had the pleasure of doing yesterday with 2012 1st Round draft pick Mitch Haniger.
(If you missed my original interview with Haniger in 2012, you can find a link to it here.)
In the conversation we talk about his 2013 season which was split between Class-A Wisconsin and Class-A Advanced Brevard County, his being selected as the Brewers priority exception to the 2013 edition of the Arizona Fall League, and what his off-season plans are.
Please take a listen, learn a little bit more about an up and coming outfield prospect in the Brewers system, and get to know Mitch Haniger a bit better.
Thanks again to Mitch for his time. Be sure to follow him on Twitter: @M_Hanny19
Prospect Pilgrimage Audio – Taylor, Roache, McFarland
As you're aware if you follow me on Twitter (@BrewerNation), I was up at the Timber Rattlers game on Saturday evening for my annual prospect pilgrimage. I want to get up there more often, but it didn't happen last year. Hopefully I'll be able to accomplish that goal here in 2013.
Regardless, when I have gone up I've been fortunate enough to get a media credential and have access for some one-on-one time with the players. Last year I chatted with three guys who I had interviewed before on the phone in Mitch Haniger, Nick Ramirez and Chad Pierce. I also got the single greatest quote out of Timber Rattlers' manager Matt Erickson when it comes to player development vs. trying to win a game on a given night.
This year, with some talented individuals on the roster, I had to limit myself to just three players quite frankly because there is only so much time between batting practice and first pitch. I think I did alright with the choices.
Here you can listen to my interviews with Tyrone Taylor, Victor Roache and Chris McFarland.
Another Opening Day
Tonight, the full-season affiliates of the Milwaukee Brewers (and other organizations as well, but you're here for a reason so let's focus) begin their respective regular seasons for 2013. The Brewers have four such affiliates so let's give you a quick rundown of each one along with some quick hit info.
Nashville Sounds – Class-AAA Affiliate
The Nashville Sounds begin their 34th season of play and their 9th season as the Brewers' top affiliate. Last year the Sounds got off to a poor start both at the plate and on the mound, but turned it around a bit as the season advanced. They technically wound up with a second-place finish in their Pacific Coast League, American Conference, Northern Division, but only sporting a 67-77 record for the campaign and falling well short of the playoffs.
While the Sounds had just one All-Star in 2012 (current Brewers reliever Jim Henderson), plenty of the parent club's current players have made a stop in Music City, U.S.A. on their way to The Show. One man who has already debuted in the big leagues but is hoping to eventually carve himself out a permanent spot on Milwaukee's pitching staff is the Sounds' 2013 Opening Day starting pitcher: Tyler Thornburg.
Thornburg had an interesting 2012 as a professional with a run of oddly timed promotions which threw off his schedule and a shift in role which threw off his routine and ultimately led to some physical problems. With what is expected to be a full season of starting games again, the Brewers are hoping Thornburg can once again show the form that resulted in an 8-1 first-half record with Huntsville compete with a selection to the Double-A All-Star Game.
Thornburg will be followed in the Sounds' rotation by 40-man rosterees Hiram Burgos and Johnny Hellweg, Zach Kroenke as the four, with Frankie De La Cruz rounding things out.
For more on Tyler Thornburg, check out his profile in my "Brewers By the (Jersey) Numbers" series: #63 Tyler Thornburg
Filling out the batting order are such recognizable names as Scooter Gennett, Blake Lalli, Hainley Statia, Caleb Gindl, and Southern League (AA) MVP Hunter Morris. The Sounds have a nice mix of up-and-comers along with guys on the precipice of MLB service time.
The same can be said for the bullpen which is likely to be anchored by Donovan Hand who almost won a spot in the Brewers 'pen to begin the season.
Huntsville Stars – Class-AA Affiliate
***UPDATE: The Stars' opener was rained out tonight. Nelson will start tomorrow.***
Starting on the bump for the Stars tonight will be Jimmy Nelson, he of the 2010 draft class (second round). Nelson began the 2012 season with the High-A Manatees and was advanced up the ladder during the summer. Combined in 2012, Nelson posted a 6-8 record with an ERA of 2.83 in 127.1 innings across 23 starts. With his success in High-A, Nelson made himself the primary candidate to move up when promotion time came around and Huntsville had an opening.
While he struggled early with Huntsville, not much should be read into it. Many baseball people concur that other than the jump from Triple-A to the bigs (of course), the step between High-A and Double-A is the biggest one that a professional player makes. That being said, a heavy ball plays so long as it can be controlled. Following a brief appearance in the Arizona Fall League where it was clear that he was worn out, Nelson enters this season with elevated expectations as he continues along his career track. The Brewers have confidence in him, he has confidence in himself, and with his ability those things ought to come together pretty well in 2013.
Brevard County Manatees – Class-A Advanced Affiliate
The Manatees of the Florida State League play their home games at Space Coast Stadium. That's awesome. Their rallying cry is "Fear the Sea Cow". That's even more awesome. From a production standpoint, the FSL is notoriously brutal on hitters, but the Manatees only got mediocre production from some of their pitching last year. That was en route to a 63-72 record. Looking to start the turn around on the right foot will be Opening Day starter and 2011 1st round draft pick, southpaw Jed Bradley.
Bradley had a rough go of things in 2012 after starting off well initially. More on his 2012 season can be found in his BBt(J)N profile here: #77 Jed Bradley. If the Georgia Tech product can remain injury/issue free in 2013, he'll hopefully be able to flash more of the ability which led to his selection as the 15th overall choice 22 months ago.
Joining Bradley (who spent all of 2012 with Brevard County) will be a bevvy of graduates from Matt Erickson's prep school in Appleton, Wisconsin. All they did together was win their league championship last year. Hopefully the magic sticks with the players as they spend some time in south Florida to begin the season.
Wisconsin Timber Rattlers – Class-A Affiliate
The 2012 Midwest League Champion Timber Rattlers will begin their title defense with a series in Peoria, Illinois before coming home for an April 8th tilt which features a bobblehead giveaway with the likeness of manager Matt Erickson holding the MWL Championship trophy. It's sharp.
Off the field, the local owners of the facility pumped a bunch of money in and many structural improvements were made to the structure around the field. The press box was expanded, the broadcast booths were segregated and moved; it was a nice facility before, but now it's even better.
On the mound, 2012 draft choice (4th round) Tyler Wagner gets the starting nod. It sounds like Erickson will once again be employing the "piggyback" technique where another starting pitcher knows he will be pitching for sure on a given day despite not starting in the first inning. To that end, Mike Strong will follow Wagner on the bump.
As for at the plate, the Timber Rattlers begin the year featuring a treasure trove of prospects. Most top choices from the 2012 draft (Clint Coulter, Mitch Haniger, Tyrone Taylor, etc) will be there right away. They'll be joined by prospect darling Orlando Arcia with slugger Victor Roache expected to be not far behind as he gets a little time in extended spring training in Arizona.
There are many more names in the system that I could call out, but on this Opening Day I just wanted to highlight a few including the focus on the Opening Day starting pitchers for each affiliate.
While the Brewers system is widely panned by the experts — I think the highest rank I saw out of 30 was 23rd best — there are some pieces to be excited about. Follow along if you choose to, but rest assured that help is developing throughout the minor league affiliates which begin play tonight. After all, there is no substitute for game action in baseball.
Good luck to the Sounds, Stars, Manatees, and defending champion Timber Rattlers! Maybe the Brewers will have some more rings to give out before the 2014 season.
Brewers Protect Five From Rule V Draft
The Brewers announced this morning that they have added five players to their 40-man roster ahead of tonight's midnight EST deadline for protecting players from the upcoming Rule V Draft.
The players protected are:
- RHP Nick Bucci
- RHP Hiram Burgos
- OF Khris Davis
- INF Scooter Gennett
- OF Josh Prince
Brewers assistant general manager Gord Ash was contacted for some quotes* about the players added today and said the following about how they arrived at these five names.
"They've all excelled at various times over the course of the season at different levels. Probably even more important than that are the tools and ability they possess. We want to manage and protect our assets. We didn't want to lose any of the five."
"We had some other guys we liked as well," said Ash. "We did our due diligence. We started with a list of nine or 10 names and whittled them down. There are surprises (in the Rule 5) every year. You can't protect everybody."
Nick Bucci
Bucci is 21 years old and coming off of a very good 2012 season split between the Low- and High-A levels of the Brewers farm system. He posted combined numbers of a 1.90 ERA, 1.102 WHIP, 9.3 K/9 in 42.2 innings over 10 starts. He missed time to begin the season coming off of an injury. His season debut was July 18th with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. Bucci finished his year with a stint in the Arizona Fall League. Not only are the Brewers high on him, but after missing the amount of time he did, it was a way to help him get more innings before shutting it back down for the winter.
"I wouldn't put much emphasis at the level he pitched at. That was mostly a rehab assignment," said Ash. "He's young and has a good arm, and a team could keep him as the 13th pitcher on the staff (if taken in the Rule 5 draft). For $50,000 (the draft price), you can't replace that kind of arm. It might be a longer road for him but we like his upside."
Hiram Burgos
Burgos, 25, rocketed through the system in 2012. He began the year with the High-A Brevard County Manatees, made a stop in Double-A with the Huntsville Stars, and finished as a Nashville Sound in Triple-A. There was even talk that he was being kept at the ready in late September should the Brewers have needed an extra arm later in their season. Quite the year. That is evidenced in his numbers which ended up at a 1.95 ERA (2.91 in AAA), 1.035 WHIP (only 128 hits), over 171.0 innings pitched in 28 games (27 starts).
"Everyone wants to put labels on him and he is a Shaun Marcum type," said Ash. "He has great command and without overpowering stuff he still has a knack for missing bats. It's hard to explain. He has command of the strike zone and a real knack for getting out of trouble as well. Those are some of the intangibles you look for in a pitcher."
Khris Davis
Davis is a 6'0″, 195 lb outfielder who both bats and throws right-handed, turns 25 next month. Davis began his season with Huntsville before an injury and subsequent rehab assignment cost him some time. He came back to Hunstville in early July and was promoted to Triple-A on July 30th where he played out the remainder of the season. Davis played a total of 82 games in the regular season posting a combined line of .350/.451/.604 which includes a .310/.414/.522 line at Triple-A in 32 games. Davis was also assigned to the Arizona Fall League in order to get more at-bats but he didn't fare as well in the desert the second time around. Still, he does appear to have a bat which could play at the MLB level one day.
"He's a tremendous offensive player," said Ash. "He's a bit streaky but when he's hot, he's real hot. I saw him hit the longest home run I saw all year at Nashville. It went over the batter's eye in center field. The ability is there and in the American League it's easy to carry an extra hitter (as a Rule 5 pick). His bat is close to being big-league ready. We didn't want to lose him."
Scooter Gennett
Gennett's addition to the 40-man roster was probably the easiest to guess (outside of Burgos because Melvin told us so in an interview awhile ago) because despite his small stature (5'9″, 164 lbs) his profile has been an elevated one. All he's done is hit since signing with the Brewers after being drafted in the 16th round of the 2009 draft. Over .300 at both Low-A and High-A, Gennett continued his progression with a full season in Double-A which saw his average dip to .293 but he basically maintained his OBP including an increase to his walk rate. He is still learning second base defensively after being drafted as a shortstop, but those issues are getting farther away in his rear view with each inning. His errors decreased, his fielding percentage has gone up every season (I know…I know), and his Range Factor per Game has also increased every season.
Josh Prince
The final player who was added today (alphabetically, not necessarily reflective of ability) was tapped due to his incredible "season" in the Arizona Fall League. Josh Prince was just converting from infield to outfield defensively and after a pedestrian season at Double-A Huntsville (.251/.346/.360) the Brewers probably thought that they might be able to avoid protecting him for one more year. Then when Mat Gamel's exemption request to play in the AFL was denied, the Brewers sent Prince instead and he absolutely rose to the occasion. Now, AFL offensive stats are often inflated but Prince even rose to the top of the inflation. He hit a team-best .404 which was good for second-highest overall in league. His OBP was .491 so he was still drawing some walks (a team-best 15, 5th-best in the AFL) and his slugging finished at .573 which gave him an OPS over 1.000 at 1.064.
"That (AFL) performance certainly put him over the top," said Ash. "That kind of performance in that setting is something everyone notices. He was the talk of the league, and every scout from every team passes through there at some point. It's hard to minimize that kind of performance. He solidified his place in the organization."
With these additions, the Brewers 40-man roster currently sits at 39.

Timber Rattlers Report – Friday, June 29, 2012
Outside of a terrible third inning which saw the best-fielding infield in the Midwest League post four errors and allow four earned runs (six total in the frame), the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers played a pretty good game Friday evening.
It was a departure of sorts from my usual coverage of the Milwaukee Brewers, but the opportunity arose to actually report on the game up in Appleton, WI Friday night between the Timber Rattlers (Class-A affiliate of the Brewers) and the Peoria Chiefs (Class-A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs).
The final score ended up at 8-7 in the home team's favor, but that doesn't tell the whole story.
A run in the first inning and a five-run fourth negated a third inning outburst from the Chiefs.
Timber Rattlers' starting pitcher David Goforth battled through that third inning which saw the entire infield struggle to record outs (his own throwing error costing him some runs). Manager Matt Erickson, after the game, said that "the third inning was uncharacteristic of our game" and that "all six of the guys in the infield…all had a mental or physical error in that one inning and when you do that obviously you're going to give up a big inning."
Ironically, in talking to the previous game's starting pitcher and friend of the podcast Chad Pierce before Friday's game, Pierce lauded the play of what he rightfully called the infield "by far the best in the Midwest (League)". To their credit, SS Yadiel Rivera and 2B Carlos George each had plays where they ranged far up the middle and converted hits into outs.
Before the game among other questions I asked first baseman Nick Ramirez, another friend of the podcast, about the infield play and how the quality of the field helps them make plays.
"This is one of the better fields I've played on in my professional career. We drag it every three innings and no one really knows how much that takes effect on your mentality. (Having a) fresh drag (means) I'm not going to get a bad hop. They take of this field, they keep it looking nice, and it's really level."
In my conversation with Chad Pierce he also had high praise for the Rattlers' outfield which saw a tremendous diving play from Ben McMahan in LF late in the game Friday night to save a couple of runs for relief pitcher Stephen Peterson.
I asked Friday night's starting center fielder, and yes…friend of the podcast, Mitch Haniger about the play of himself and his fellow outfielders. Haniger said that the right-center gap (405 feet to the wall) is always in the back of his mind and that the wind changes from day to day but that having speedy outfielders in all three spots really helps.
"All five of the outfielders on this team are real fast. I didn't think that I was going to get to a ball last night in the gap and I just hear Lance (Roenicke) saying 'I got it. I got it.' and just pulled up right next to him and back him up. So it's been great having guys by your side that if you can't get to balls, they're going to be there."
Goforth pitched well otherwise including a six-pitch fourth inning which no doubt helped his offense out by limiting Chiefs starter Michael Jensen's downtime between frames. Erickson praised Goforth after the game for his ability to bear down and get through three additional frames after the long third.
The Timber Rattlers got back in the box quickly and struck hard in their half of the fourth resulting in a 28-pitch fourth for Jensen where he let the Rattlers right back into the game by surrendering a pair of two-run home runs and another run. That tied the game up at six after four innings.
The game remained tied until the seventh though a lead-off triple in the sixth inning by Cubs uber-prospect Javier Baez looked to put the Chiefs back on top first. Goforth pitched around it however and completed six full innings in front of a short bullpen on this night.
Goforth's final line: 6.0 IP, 7 H, 6 R (2 ER), 0 BB, 4 K, 99 pitches (70 strikes)
Stephen Peterson took over in the 7th and walked a pair of batters around two outs. The lead runner stole third and then scored on a wild pitch from Peterson, before the reliever got out of the jam. That run would not prove the game-winner, however, as the Rattlers had yet another rally in them.
Peterson pitched a scoreless 8th inning, thanks in large part to that aforementioned tremendous diving catch in left field by McMahan. 1B Nick Ramirez then tied the game back up in the bottom half of the frame with a mammoth home run just fair inside the RF foul pole and "exactly" 398 feet away from home plate. That came off of Chiefs reliever Yao-Lin Wang who started the eighth inning for Peoria.
Current closer Tommy Toledo entered for the 9th and kept the Chiefs off the board. But Wang countered with a scoreless bottom half to send it to extra innings.
Following a second perfect frame in the 10th inning from Toledo, the Chiefs called upon Luis Liria to handle Greg Hopkins, eighth-inning hero Ramirez, and McMahan, he of the earlier two-run home run back in the big 4th inning.
Hopkins led off the frame with a single back through the box. Ramirez struck out after Hopkins advanced to second on a wild pitch. They intentionally walked McMahan to pitch to SS Yadiel Rivera who worked a walk to load the bases after being down in the count 1-2.
Up stepped Rafael Neda who earlier in that same big fourth inning had hit the first home run of his professional career. Neda was nearly hit by a pitch early in the at-bat, but ended up singling through the left side of a partly drawn in infield for the game winner!
After the game, Neda said that not only getting his first home run but also being able to walk-off in extra innings was the biggest moment of his career to this point other than his first professional hit but it wouldn't have been possible without the earlier rally. I asked Neda to describe how it happened and he said that "One hit started leading to another one. We just wanted to help our pitcher because there were four errors in the inning. As a catcher I wanted to help him a little more and we luckily came back in that inning."
So despite the one rough inning, the Timber Rattlers played a very solid game all around. Most importantly, the win brought the team back to even on the second half of the year at 4-4. It was the fourth consecutive Win for the T-Rats.
This of course comes after a first-half which saw Wisconsin finish with the best record in their division. This assures them of a playoff spot but several key pieces to the success in the first half were promoted up the organizational ladder.
Therein lies the dynamic of managing at the Minor League level. I asked Erickson about that dichotomy of not only wanting to win but needing to get his players better and to move them along. His answer was perfect.
Said Erickson, "It's player development until the first pitch of the game. Then we're trying to beat somebody's ass."
Friday night, that ass belonged to Michael Jensen and the rest of his Peoria Chiefs teammates.

Mitch Haniger Interview – Recorded: June 15, 2012
I had the pleasure of being joined on the phone earlier tonight by recently inked 2012 First-Year Player Draft Pick, and the 38th player taken overall this year: Mitch Haniger.
Haniger is an outfielder who played collegiately at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo.*sharp inhale*
We discuss why Haniger didn't sign after being drafted out of high school by the Mets, what led him to Cal Poly, his experiences playing in a wood bat league last summer in Wisconsin, where he'll be playing the rest of this summer, and a multitude of other things.
Download the file and give it a listen. Then, if you're on Twitter, be sure to give Mitch a follow and a congratulatory tweet on his account: @M_Hanny19

ScienceDaily (May 24, 2011) With the deficiencies in knowledge of tuberculosis — as well as in the practices, programs and strategies used to combat the disease and co-infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) — the spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis poses a major problem for the health care community. Research in the June issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine , however, shows that the use of 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) scans can help to determine earlier if treatment for tuberculosis is working or if the disease is MDR.

TIME TO EAT MORE GREASY FISH!!!!!!!!March 7, 2007
Omega-3 fatty acids boost gray matter, mood
On March 7, 2007 at the American Psychosomatic Societys Annual Meeting held in Budapest, Hungary, Sarah M. Conklin, PhD of the University of Pittsburgh reported the discovery that an increased intake of omega-3 fatty acids is associated with greater gray matter volume in areas of the brain related to mood and behavior.
Animal research has shown that increasing omega-3 fatty acids in the diet results in structural brain changes. The researchers involved in the current study sought to determine whether gray matter volume was related to omega-3 fatty acid intake in humans to help explain the improvement in mood associated with increased omega-3 intake.
Dr Conklin, who is a postdoctoral scholar at the Cardiovascular Behavioral Medicine Program in the department of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh, and her colleagues questioned 55 healthy adults on their diets to determine their average intake of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. High-resolution structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain was used to measure gray matter volume.
It was discovered that subjects whose intake of omega-3 fatty acids was high had greater gray matter volume in the bilateral anterior cingulate cortex, the right amygdala and the right hippocampus, which are associated with with emotional arousal and regulation. These areas have been found to be reduced in individuals with mood disorders such as major depressive disorder.
In a study presented by Dr. Conklin at the previous year's meeting, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh found that participants who had lower blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids tended to have a more negative outlook and were more impulsive.
Although the current study found an association with structural changes in the brain associated with greater omega-3 fatty acid intake, the team recommends further research to confirm a causative effect.

Since I was a little girl, I can remember several munchies always being in my parent's pantry: Nilla Wafers, Pretzels, a variety of Nuts, and the king of soup crackers - Saltines. These days, with so many different kinds of gourmet crackers having more exotic flavors like French Onion and Sun-dried Tomato, it's easy to forget about these homely squares. I - waxing nostalgic and always on the lookout for a healthy alternative to my favorites - decided to buy a box of Low Sodium Saltine Crackers.
It's not surprising that regular Saltines are pretty high in sodium - 8% of the daily value for a mere 5 crackers. Of course, there's not much else to them, as I found out when I bit into one of the Low Sodium Crackers. It's like tasty paperboard. Not terrible ... just not really good. Dipped into soup or stew, however, these crackers were great - crunchy, a little soggy if you let them sit, and they didn't add sodium to an already salty meal.
Each 5 cracker serving of Nabisco Low Sodium Saltine Crackers provides 60 calories, 1.5 grams of total fat, 1% of the daily value for sodium and 11 grams of carbohydrates, and nothing else.
The ingredient list is pretty short - enriched flour, soybean and partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil (boo), leavening, malted barley flour, and salt.
A box cost me $2.00, which isn't bad for crackers these days. I occasionally have Saltines with soup or tuna fish crackers, but I rather the little extra nutrition from something like Wasa Light Rye Crispbread.

The Polar Express is a 2004 motion capture computer-animated fantasy film based on the children's book of the same title by Chris Van Allsburg. Written, produced, and directed by Robert Zemeckis, the film's human characters were animated using live action performance capture technique, with the exception of the waiters who dispense hot chocolate on the train, because their feats were impossible for live actors to achieve. The 21st century technology used incorporated the movements of live actors into three-dimensional animation The film stars Daryl Sabara, Nona Gaye, Jimmy Bennett, and Eddie Deezen, with Tom Hanks in six distinct roles. The film also included a performance by Tinashe at age 9, who later gained exposure as a pop singer in 2010, as the CGI-model for female protagonist. The film was produced by Castle Rock Entertainment in association with Shangri-La Entertainment, ImageMovers, Playtone and Golden Mean, for Warner Bros. The visual effects and performance capture were done at Sony Pictures Imageworks. The studio first released the $165 million film in both conventional and IMAX 3D theaters on November 10, 2004. The Polar Express is listed in the Guinness World Book of Records in 2006 as the first all-digital capture film.

At Sol Y Luna Tanning's three locations, sunless-tanning experts unveil a varied collection of body-bronzing apparatuses and direct visitors toward tanning products that jive with each person's skin type. The shop's standup and lie-down tanning beds from brands such as Solarix, Sun Up II, and Malibu darken epidermal expanses with UV rays, and spray-tan booths envelop bodies in a mist of UV-free tanning formula that doesn't streak, unlike unencumbered window panes running freely through the rain. Sol Y Luna Tanning's ornate chandeliers shed light over well-organized displays of lotion that guests can pluck to maintain their skin and newly earned tans.
Without an ounce of help from the sun, staffers at The Glo Studio turn pallid bodies into golden temples. A solution concocted from 100% organic DHA and 95% all-natural ingredients imbues skin with sun-kissed color, leaving youthful tissues untouched by UV rays or sentient beach castles. In around 15 minutes, an airbrush artisan cloaks clients in a custom tanning blend, transforming human pelts with a choice of natural-looking light, medium, or dark hues.
Jennifer Cherry, owner of Hot Bodies USA, has stocked her 1,300-square-foot salon with Encore and Ovation tanning beds. Alternatively, customers can supplement their UV tans in the Magic Tan spray booth, which features a bronzing formula that makes physiques look similarly beachy without the need for using UV rays or hanging out only with ghosts. The shop also stocks bronzers to enhance the work of its makeshift suns and provides additional beautifying services including lash enhancement.
Though the bright colors and mod furniture of South Beach Tanning's numerous salons may tempt clients to kick back for hours, that's not the staff's goal. Instead, they strive to provide swift, hassle-free tans that get clients out the door quickly to enjoy the day. Each of the chain's salons boasts a floor plan that is twice as large as the average tanning salon, which increases the likelihood that a bed will be free and therefore reduces annoying wait times. Guests can choose from five tiers of UV beds, whose successive levels beget increased bulb output and more amenities to imbue swifter, more comfortable tans. For a UV-free glow, customers can opt to hop in the salon's automated VersaSpa booths, which guide jets of pigmented formula from head to toe in only 46 seconds to grant a look as summery as boat sails composed of stitched-together bikinis.
Sun Cheaters Tanning & Waxing is owned and operated by a licensed aesthetician and medical assistant, who ensures that the studio's beauty services also promote overall skin health. The staff offers in-studio and mobile airbrush tanning services for all skin types, using eco-certified organic DHA solutions infused with hyaluronic acid, green and white tea, lavender oil, aloe vera, and vanilla extract to moisturize and rejuvenate the skin. For hair removal, waxing specialists rid the face and body of unwanted hair with Satin Smooth cream wax, which works is more effective than hard wax, but doesn't taste as nice as Oreo cream.
Since its 1965 founding in Venice Beach, California, Gold's Gym has dotted the globe with more than 600 locations where professional athletes and exercise newbies gather under the umbrella of personal strength. Nearly 3.5 million Gold's members chart and aim for their fitness peaks, perspiring beneath the gaze of certified personal trainers or pedaling beside peers at cycling sessions. In a diverse lineup of group classes, patrons strengthen cores with Pilates, finger-paint pictures of ninjas in martial arts, and amp up heart rates to the pulsating soundtracks of Les Mills routines. Many Gold's Gym locations stockpile futuristic amenities, such as cardio machines with individual iPod docks and televisions that help keep patrons motivated.

New Greenhouse, how to make and use?

Posted 19 November 2012 - 05:10 PM
Well I downloaded the green house, but it doesn't work with Seasons. When it snows the glass roof doesn't keep snow or rain out. On their forum they tell you how to fix it. That totally messes up the look of the Greenhouse, what a waste of money. They say they are working on a fix, so far it's not fixed yet so I just built a house with a greenhouse attached but its a family room with ceiling tiles around the edges to keep the weather out. You can do this to the greenhouse but the plants still go dormant in winter. It really looks good as a breakfast nook. The glass pieces 6x3 I think, you put two together to make a complete roof.
Posted 24 November 2012 - 11:05 PM
I had to go to the download and look over the exact pieces of the green house make up because I wanted one on my home lot. Apparently it comes with a greenhouse window, a door and the roof pieces. There aren't actual walls or anything like in Sims 2. So I built one, and put down that gardening station. Now the greenhouse itself (the pieces to build it) are quite lame, there are plenty of CC windows/doors that I could of used to build a greenhouse in this manner. However, I do enjoy the gardening station, which allows you identify seeds, talk to all your plants, use compost to fertilize the plants, and it will auto water the plants as well.

However, I do enjoy the gardening station, which allows you identify seeds, talk to all your plants, use compost to fertilize the plants, and it will auto water the plants as well.
does this mean that you cannot use the compost from all the raked leaves on the garden unless you have the gardening station?
Posted 25 November 2012 - 06:50 PM
As far as I know there is no compost option for the leaves, green house or not, and from what I have been able to tell the "compost" from the gardening station is only a place to store the sun rays that the sunflower pops out. Then once the compost is full you can click to "use compost" and it will go through a whole ordeal of making your plants grow and then watering them. For the leaves with Seasons, you rake them up, then you can play in them, woohoo, burn them or dispose of them, no compost
Posted 29 November 2012 - 06:32 PM
Well of course I think the greenhouse should have been included in the EP itself, not have an added expense, but not allowing us to be able to compost the leaves we rake up was a wasted opportunity in my opinion. It's almost impossible to do anything if you make a living as a gardener during some of the fall and all winter. All you can do really is read gardening books.

Tiana's new dream.
This year for Christmas we bought my daughter a Leapfrog Tag reading system and a couple of Disney Princess books. I was not familiar with The Princess and the Frog story before as it's a fairly new Disney creation but I'm glad we got this one as its a really nice story.
If you are unfamiliar with the Tag reading system then it is basically best described as a combination of a talking "pen" and special Tag books books that you load onto it and it helps young kids learn to read books and also enjoy books by themselves. Leapfrog say that, "The Tag system includes activities that help children think about story events, characters and themes in order to build reading comprehension skills. Tag focuses on core phonics, word recognition and vocabulary skills based on teaching methods designed to help a child learn to read. It's all wrapped up in fun, engaging stories and high-interest topics to enthrall your child. That's the magic of Tag - it makes learning fun!
Disney seemed to have changed a bit in the way they portray their princesses. No longer are they just beautiful girls waiting for a prince to find them, they are tougher and like to do things for themselves. For example in this book Tiana has a dream that one day she would own her own restaurant and she knew the only way to make her dream come true was through hard work. What a great thing to teach our little girls, that they are in charge of their destiny and that there is another path to success that marrying a footballer and becoming a WAG or a popstar!!
This book is set in New Orleans and what I really like about the voice that narrates this book is that it has a New Orleans accent so they are making the book sound very authentic and setting the scene very well in my opinion. Tiana meets a frog called Prince Naveen but unfortunately after kissing him, thinking she was going to turn into a princess, she herself turns into a frog and together Tiana and Naveen go on an adventure. Of course, this being Disney they all lived happily ever after but I think its a nice inspiring story to read and one my little girl really likes looking at.
Like all Tag reader books there are various ways in which you can utilise this book. You can use the pen to read the whole story for you by just pressing it onto the symbol on the first page that says, "read the story." My little girl is only three so at the moment this is the way she likes to read the books as it reads them to her but its great that she can work the pen by herself and it gives her the ability to read a book all by herself and get used to the words and the pictures. You can also just have the reader read a page at a time which is good as there are different things to do on each page like games and hear different sounds.
In this book there are various games to play. One of them is where you have to answer yes or no and there is either a smiley face icon for yes and so you press the reader onto this picture or there is a sad face icon to indicate the answer no. This is a good game for understanding questions and their answers.
A good addition to the Tag family!

I have a CD called "Elvis Meets the Beatles", which I believe contains the same show featured on Fort Baxter's "Opening Night" CD.
Has anyone listened to the version of "Are You Lonesome Tonight" on either of these releases? It is much more straight forward without the Millie Kirkham treatement in the background during the dialogue segment. I much prefer it to the version featured on the "In Person" CD.
Does anyone know if this exists in a better sound quality? I've never heard the Opening Night CD, so can't compare it to the Elvis Meets the Beatles CD, but if they're on parr, it's not the best in sound quality.
Also, I do enjoy the Life Story monologe that is feature on this cd, it's not excessively wordy or long, a bit humorous. It was featured on the LP "Having Fun On Stage With Elvis", which I believe has also been released on CD.
Does anyone have the Having Fun cd? How does it sound, for just a "Talking Only" cd? I'd like to have a good quality copy of the Live Story monologue to use on a compilation cd.
Any thoughts or opinions, greatly apreciated.

this kinda just blew my mind.... seeing a movie poster I made on tv, as they interviewed the director (my cousin)
Check out my artwork here: Thirteenth Story Art
Very cool, Jaye!
X-Poster of the Year 2003--- the best there is at what i do ---
This is a color sketch I just finished for a mural I'm painting in Pittsburgh. It feels good to actually get paid to do this for a change.
Looks good, Gene. I'd suggest playing with the perspective a little so that the buildings rise higher into the sky. Could make the city come across a little more majestic.
I just went and saw "How to Train Your Dragon". Really great and fun movie.

Answer to End of Time:
I lived in Belgium for many years and I still go there to visit my family, so every time I am there I read French and Belgian comics.
The style is very different from the one in Anglophone graphic novels. Sure there are a few wonderful things in France and Belgium ( it is well known that the Art School in these countries is a famous one and this is for a good reason!)
I would love to work with French artists. The problem is that many of them like to write their own scripts. The result is that (in some cases-not always!) the story is not as beautiful as you'd expect it to be when you see the art, BUT you keep reading and you are fascinated because of the huge quality of the art.
Honestly, some French comics are like classic paintings, they are simply FABULOUS!! So, you can forget the poor quality of the story...(which is not BAD usually. BUT it could be better!)
yeah, art is everything in French and Belgian comics... because for instance the Meta Barons, as famous as it is, is really just ripping off Dune in a half-assed manner...
but it looks gorgeous.
I went and made a webcomic...
Saturn Sally
To End of the Time:
Exactly, I agree with you! I checked your comic, it's awesome!

each has its pros/cons.
Faroudja has the more reputable name, and technically can do a better job with Jaggies on video source deinterlacing, etc. But they also suffer from Macroblocking in certain chipsets (FLI23xx) and have some CUE and Chroma bugs in certain implementations.
ABT is not as popular because not many people have used that solution, but is what Arcam uses in their flagship DVD player, and has a reputation of having a better color rendering/reproduction than the Faroudja DCDi solution. However, it wont to as well in jaggies, and some people of complained of "softness" in the picture.
Either way, this should not be the determining factor in your decision. Although RX'z have become more and more video centric as well, their core is still audio.

Renegade Drillers Aim for the Earth's Mantle
Jason Mick
October 3, 2012 3:32 PM
comment(s) - last by
Oct 8

Sender E-mail
Project will try to drill down 6 km at the crust's thinnest location in the Pacific Ocean
It sounds like a plot of a science fiction movie. But to
Damon Teagle
, a geochemistry professor at the UK's
University of Southampton
and "
The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program
" (IODP) co-leader, the ambitious effort to be the first humans to drill to the Earth's mantle is dead serious.
I. The Race to the Mantle
While many have long held that such an effort is infeasible given current technology and the expense involved, Professor Teagle and company hatched a bold scheme to venture out in one of three locations in the Pacific Ocean and use deep-sea drilling equipment to tunnel 6 km (3.7 miles) down, eventually hitting the mantle.
On land the Earth's crust is up to 60 km thick, making drilling to the mantle unlikely to succeed with today's technology. But Professor Teagle is convinced that by using deep sea drilling at one of these locations (ocean ridges) where the crust is the thinnest, the mantle can be reached and sampled for "only" about $1B USD.
The effort will require 10 km-long (6.2 miles) drill pipes to drill through the ultra-hard rocks that are though to surround the mantle.
Croatian meteorologist Andrija Mohorovicic first discovered the Earth's mantle-crust boundary. The mantle is a 2,900 km layer of the Earth's onion-like composition. Composed mostly of silicon dioxide (the same material that sand or semiconductors are made of), temperatures at the crust border range from 500 to 900 °C (932 to 1,652 °F). The mantle, at its molten inner surface touches the
Earth's molten nickel-iron core
, where temperatures reach 4,000 °C (7,230 °F).
Professor Teagle calls the project "the most challenging endeavor in the history of Earth science", comparing it to
the Apollo Program
. He says the project will serve to "inspire" future generations of scientists and will leave a "legacy of fundamental scientific knowledge" -- namely, giving a never-before-glimpsed look at representative mantle chemistry, temperatures, and pressure. According to Professor Teagle, this would be a big step forward as we currently only have a "reasonable" of the Mantle's composition and behavior.
The hardest challenge will be digging through the hard rocks closest to the mantle.
[Image Source: CNN]
He comments in a
, "[The mantle] is the engine that drives how our planet works and why we have earthquakes and volcanoes and continents. We have the textbook cartoons but detailed knowledge is lacking."
II. No Guarantees
The project will make use of a pre-existing Japanese deep-sea drilling vessel named Chikyu. A hulking, lumbering ship Chikyu can carry up to 10 km of drilling pipes and set a scientific deep sea drilling world-record of 2.2 km in early testing. The hole drilled by the IODP drills will be a mere 30 cm in diameter -- or roughly one foot wide.
The Chikyu, at sea [Image Source: CNN]
Professor Teagle gives some perspective on how much a feat this is, commenting, "It will be the equivalent of dangling a steel string the width of a human hair in the deep end of a swimming pool and inserting it into a thimble 1/10 mm wide on the bottom, and then drilling a few meters into the foundations."
The drill bits will need to be replaced every 50 to 60 hours, and additionally special bits may need to be swapped to drill through ultra-hard near-mantle crust layer. That means the project could take more than a year to complete, unless better drill bits can be produced.
The Chikyu can carry up to 10 km worth of pipes. [Image Source: CNN]
The IODP is not the first effort to drill down to the mantle. The first major attempt dates back to 1966 when a team of U.S. researchers drilled off the coast of the eastern Pacific's Guadalupe Island. The project, dubbed "Project Mohole" in honor or Professor "Mo" Mohorovicic, reached only a few meters before it was abandoned.
A land-based project by the Russians in the 1980s in the Kola Peninsula drilled down 12 km into the Earth's crust, earning a record for deepest borehole that still stands. Exxon Mobil Corp. (
) in 2011 drilled a longer borehole (12+ km) in Easter Russia, however the hole was drilled on an angle.
Thus to summarize how close man has came to drilling to the mantle yet, the best answer is "not very close".
The ocean-based effort clearly provides an easier route that is within historic borehole depths (12 km). However, the difficulties of drilling at sea and of penetrating the hard inner crust make success uncertain, even as Professor Teagle's team forges ahead.

RE: Seems like a...
The thought did cross my mind but they would have to drill through the upper and lower mantles to get to any magma. If they did I am not quite sure a bore hole would be big enough to allow a large enough flow of magma to create a volcanic island. The lower mantle would have to be pretty thin where they are drilling and if that were the case they would already have seen evidence of a hot spot.

Bezoekje Philip Island
Vandaag begon de dag iets vroeger dan gisteren. Daan en Thomas melden zich om 8 voor 9. We hadden de wekker gezet om 09:00 dus die 8 minuten waren te overzien. Snel aangekleed en maar weer op weg naar de supermarkt. Daar wat brood en andere dingen gekocht en we konden weer ontbijten. De rest van het brood en het beleg ging in de tas en we zijn op …

Vanmorgen aangekomen in Melbourne. We zijn eindelijk aangekomen in Australi� na een vermoeiende tweede vlucht. Daan heeft praktisch niet geslapen, Sam wel iets maar voornamelijk aan het begin van de vlucht. Alleen Thomas heeft een paar uur geslapen aan het einde van de vlucht.

Finally in Melbourne which is in the state of Victoria - this is my first time to the city.

Flight was leaving at 10.55 and got me to Melbourne at just gone 1pm. I …

... out for a bit of a look and see.
(My turn now...), so I headed into the city to check out the shops and take my time over a delicious pistachio macaron and flat white (no sharing when you're on your own!). Had to take a map of the city 'cause I've been relying a bit too much on Zal's photographic memory of where we are/have been etc (Levi takes after him, Elijah after me...). Only needed it once...

Our first night in the Camper was a tad chilly to say the least, our $20 K-Mart sleeping bag's didn't cut it for winter temperatures.

Historical Traveler Reviews Citigate Melbourne
Walk to anything, great clean rooms
I hadn't heard of this hotel before but wanted one in the centre of town for a weekend away and this was perfect! We could walk to the shops and Crown easily, then had room service when we finally got back to our room...Next day went to the footy, just a short tram ride away, trams are at the doorstep.
The reception staff were friendly, the rooms fresh and clean, free movies (Foxtel), large king bed. We'd definately stay again if we wanted a night in town.
Great location, friendly staff
My room on the 11th floor at the back of the hotel was quiet, and a bit smaller than I'd hoped for, however, when you're coming to Melbourne to sightsee and enjoy the nightlife, room size shouldn't be a factor.
Excellent location Great Veiw
Located across the road from Flinders Street Station in the heart of Melbourne. Staff were friendly and efficient on arrival and the concierge looked after our car for us without delay. Unfortunatley, the car park is not on the premisise and your car is whisked away to a location unknown. Flinders St is also busy and you get a bit intimidated by the traffic wizzing past your car in the street until it is taken away. We had a room at the front, so had a view of the Yarra River, Southbank and Flinders Street Station. The higher up you can stay the better. Our room was well appointed with what looked like reasonably new if not new furniture and fittings. We had the Bed and Breakfast deal which was reasonable and the breakfast was the normal hot buffett in the Restaurant on site. 20 Minutes warning to the concierge is required to get your car back, but if you ring just before you go down to reception and pay your bill, the car wont br far behind. Would definitely stay again and in fact we have.
Small rooms
Our room was very small and there was not even a proper wardrobe to hang our clothes in. There was just a small unenclosed hanging space area to place our clothes in and there was no space to place our two suitcases.
Definitely not a 4 star!
Led to believe this was a four star, and maybe the rest of the hotel is, but my room wasn't! You can do much better than this for the price, even on discounted sites. The room was clean, but small, and on the third floor looking onto a terrace of the restaurant next door - luckily it was cold, but I noted the huge outdoor barbeque, so stay clear of this side in summer as it clearly is a huge entertaining deck for the restaurant. If you can, get a high floor. Pretty awful foyer as well, and the location although central is in one of the least appealing parts of the city, which is worse at present because of all the construction around.
Excellent Value! Will Return!
My husband and I visited Melbourne at the end of 2004 and had a great stay at Ramada Melbourne. I had read the reviews on Tripadvisor, and was a little concerned, however, we recieved an excellent deal through Flight Centre, Australia (online) at $99/night so thought we'd give it a go.
This should be a 2 star hotel
For AUS$280 per night you would expect something half decent. I don't know how they class this hotel as 4 star. The room was clean but very average for the money. Our room on the top floor had one tiny window that looked out to a nice concrete slab of the building next door. My friend in another room down the hall had her wallet stolen from the room, however, concierge were extremely good at helping us with the police etc.
The only photographs available on the net was an 3D rendering of the building that looks quite modern. It is a 70's building re vamped. If you can get this hotel for AUS$100 - $150 per night it would be OK otherwise try somewhere else.
Extremely dissapointed.
With the exception of a very helpful and friendly concierge, Ramada Melbourne was a big disappointment. The snappy and unhelpful attitude of reception staff to the unavailability of the room well after check-in time, poor water pressure, no news channel and no access to the business centre on Sunday all combined to spoil the stay.
Very Nice Place
I was there from 10 to 15 December 2003. Very nice and pleasant room.
Place is well located in the heart of the city where everything in the city is within a walking distance. Do try to get rooms number 11 onwards e.g 4011 for a nice view of the observation deck and not 10 or below or you will risk looking at walls out your window. One word of caution though, i was there from wednesday till the next monday and they served the same breakfast everyday.
Shower in cold water during winter
The water temperature could changed drastically from hot to chilled from bath tub shower. (my room was 5010)
