The game was released for the Wii on November 13, 2007 in North America; November 15, 2007 in Japan; and on November 30, 2007 in Europe, excluding Germany, where the game is not available due to the refusal of a USK rating and its subsequent inclusion in the index.[6] It was followed by Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. Both Chronicles games are included on the Resident Evil Chronicles HD Collection for the PlayStation 3. The game exposes the Umbrella Corporation's meddling throughout the Resident Evil series through narration from Albert Wesker, a former Umbrella Corporation scientist, and hidden documents pertaining to the organization's secret motives and actions. The game is composed of five scenarios that recapitulate the events of Resident Evil Zero, Resident Evil, and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, as well as new material pertaining to the Umbrella Corporation's downfall.

Well, I have several and they are set up with different attachments or
implements. The sixtysomething has a Woods 42 belly mower which is used to mow about 7 acres every two weeks in spring and summer and
is used about 100 hrs a year. One has a moldboard plough and was used about 20 hours last year. Another has the full cultivators and is used to plough the garden, about 40-50 hours a year. One is in the process of being rebuilt, it will get the sicklebar mower when finished and will be the show tractor. Another is awaiting a rebuild which is '50 white demonstrator. Another '49 has a set of cultivators and is used to plow mom's garden about 50 hrs a year. The '48 will get the buzz saw when rebuilt and will be a show tractor. Another '49 is going to get the
planters and will be used about 10 hrs a year.

For Cincinnati Bengals fans, the only thing more exciting than the team's surprising 4-2 start is just how great the future looks from here. The Carson Palmer trade was greeted with overwhelming excitment from fans in Cincinnati, a deal that netted the up-and-coming Bengals another first-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft and second-round pick that could turn into a first-round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. Josh Kirkendall, managing editor of SB Nation's Bengals site Cincy Jungle, called the Palmer trade "pure gold."
Originally Mike Brown's refusal to trade Quarterback Carson Palmer based on his principles that players can't demand their way out of Cincinnati, was honorable because few owners in professional sports truly stand up to players today. At the same time it was baffling. Not only would the team improve their personnel with draft picks that could result with an additional starter or two, it constantly left a cloud for a potential quarterback controversy if Palmer were ever to relent and return to the team.
Months later, the trade to Oakland, acquiring a first round pick for the 2012 NFL Draft and a second round pick in 2013 that could be upgraded to a first based on certain conditions, can only be viewed as genius. Additionally the move firmly tells quarterback Andy Dalton that they're completely behind him now.
Trading Palmer was a necessity. What they received from Oakland is pure gold; something that could be viewed impressively around the NFL.
For the Oakland perspective on the deal, be sure to check out Silver and Black Pride, SB Nation's Raiders site.


text: We are coming to the last few days of summer vacation, and I must admit I'm feeling nostalgic for the days when we still had a long, hot summer ahead of us. I think the kids are, in some ways, starting to feel ready to get back to school, but I'm feeling a little sad! To keep myself occupied, I'm trying to craft my way to school preparedness, starting with this vinyl, reusable lunch bag.I used this pattern by Pretty Prudent, with a couple of modifications. Firstly, I used a vinyl material with a wipedown wrong side. A quick rinse under a tap should keep this lunch bag clean inside and out. Second, I used Velcro for the seal, instead of a button or tie. Velcro is so easy for small fingers to manage, and I really like how you can roll down the top edges to make a neat closure and avoid spillages. The Rotary Cutter and Ruler Combo worked a treat on this vinyl.And I used my Softgrip® Pinking Shears to finish the seam allowance.To attach the Velcro, I sewed one side to the top edge of the bag and the other piece a few inches down from the top edge on the opposite side.If you liked this idea, you might also like these Reusable Snack Bags too!

Yogourmet - Maximum Strength Probiotic - 60 Capsules
As we grow older, the use of prescription drugs, modern dietary habits, common digestive disorders and everyday stress all work together to attack the proportion of healthy microflora in our bodies. Yogourmet Maximum Strength Probiotic works to fortify your body's natural defenses against the destructive elements that are part of your everyday life.
Yogourmet Maximum Strength Probiotic Highlights:
What are Probiotics?
You have bacteria living in your intestines. Some of them could make you sick; however there are also bacteria that are actually beneficial. These "friendly" bacteria or probiotics help keep bad bacteria and yeast from growing in your intestinal tract causing intestinal dysbiosis. Intestinal dysbiosis is a bacterial imbalance that results in overgrowth of bad bacteria and yeast. Normally you have an abundance of friendly bacteria; however antibiotic treatment, stress and poor dietary choices may all cause intestinal dysbiosis.
Why Take Prebiotics?
When the bad bacteria and yeast become overgrown in your intestinal tract, you have a condition called dysbiosis. Dysbiosis has been linked with disorders like vaginal yeast infections, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Chron's disease, Colitis, Antibiotic Associated Diarrhea (AAD), C. Difficile infection, E. coli infection, traveler's diarrhea, and rheumatoid arthritis. Common causes of dysbiosis are stress, age, poor dietary habits and especially when on antibiotic treatment. The antibiotics that you take for killing an infection will also kill the healthy bacteria in your digestive tract.
Prebiotics and probiotics can restore the balance of bacteria in your digestive tract. It is important to take documented strains of probiotics. Documented strains have been studied and are proven to have a benefit. Prebiotics are non-digestible foods (e.g. FOS, Fructo-Oligosaccharides) that help good bacteria grow and flourish. It is the "food" for probiotics and keeps them healthy.
Make sure the probiotic supplement you are taking is Enteric Coated. Enteric Coated capsules have a protective film that will only dissolve in your intestinal pH. It therefore protects the bacteria from being destroyed by your stomach aid and the probiotics are delivered to your intestines undiminished.
Now, I know what you are thinking, "I already eat yogurt with probiotics". While it is true yogurt contains probiotics, yogurt only has two of the over 1,000 different strains of probiotics. Also the probiotics found in yogurt are not protected against your stomach acid. Between 40-50% of the bacteria will be destroyed by your stomach acid and not reach your intestine where it is needed. That is why taking a multi strain probiotic supplement that contains a prebiotic and is enteric coated will help you get better coverage of your intestinal tract.

I wanted to hate it.
Fifty Shades of Grey, that is.
Yes, with all my heart I desperately wanted to hate this overrated, overhyped, oversexed book.
And I did -- because I didn't.
I got sucked in like all the rest of the world. Sucked, soaked and spun. And for the life of me I can't understand why.
The writing is not good, the story is not believable, the sex (and there is a lot of it) isn't even a turn on.
And yet... I couldn't put it down.
I was like some pathetic school girl reading her first Twilight book. Staying up well past my usual bedtime to read just one more chapter. Imagining what Christian Grey looked like and wishing I could run into him at Trader Joe's. Envying little miss virgin Anastasia and her entre into the world of love making.
That's right, I found myself thinking about this damn book even when I wasn't reading it! That's so sad!
And the minute I finished the last page I went straight to Amazon and ordered the second installment of this ridiculous trilogy on my Kindle!
I'm so disappointed in myself. I mean, the book is not good, folks. And, yet... it's so good.
It seeps in like a virus and before you know it you're hiding it from your ten year old daughter for fear she might get a glimpse of a page where Anastasia is having her seventy-eighth orgasm.
Oh, lord, it is so embarrassing. I was fully prepared to tell you all in great detail how awful it was for me to have to read this piece of crap.
But, it wasn't. It was an escape. It was basic writing with overused words and bad dialogue and I ate it up and begged for more... hm, much like Ana.
I don't know... maybe I'm getting old. Tired. The need to be challenged intellectually not so desirable as it once was.
I've worked so hard my whole life. I've searched for answers, healing, spirituality, recovery, forgiveness, wisdom, peace, courage...
Quite frankly, it's exhausting.
So, what the hell. Maybe bubble-gum, cheap food and a dirty little love story is exactly what this gal requires for today.
I can always go back to understanding the world tomorrow.

If you've driven by the Avera McKennan campus in Sioux Falls lately on Cliff Avenue your eyes are immediately drawn to the beautiful falls outside the new Prairie Center, home of the new Avera Cancer Institute. With 2000 gallons of water going over the water falls every minute, it's definitely making a splash visually and literally.
Erik Helland and his crew from Landscape Garden Centers said city and federal law, and a wet summer made this one of his most challenging water projects to date. It's also the biggest.
Helland co-owner of Landscape Garden Centers says, "This collects water from 100 acres of Sioux Falls and all that storm water has to go through this detention facility and basically instead of having it turn into a slough, for the lack of a better term. We basically made it ascetically pleasing."
They constructed the falls out of quartzite indigenous to this area and used an actual spot of the falls to replicate. It took 1200 tons of rock, 100 yards of concrete for stabilization and months of pain staking labor.
Helland says, "In this case we needed to re-circulate the water. The only way to do that is to pump it and that's what we are doing right now. We are pumping it and pumping it and throwing as much oxygen in the water fall to help decompose everything that's flowing into this from 100 acres.
Avera McKennan Senior Vice President of Environmental Services Dick Molseed says, "The water fall you see when you come into at the grand entrance of the building goes back to the healing nature of water. It's also in line with our foundation coming from the Presentation Benedictine Sisters and goes back to Baptism and your Christian Initiation of baptism and we think that very important."
The entire building inside and outside has a South Dakota theme. The first floor atrium goes from east river on one side to West River on the other with living plants and trees in the middle.
Molseed says, "As we were listening to our patients as we were developing the building they told us at the present time we don't have a place to get away, a place to cry. We don't have a place to decompress. That what our West River area has. It has lots of areas of solitude, lots of areas to escape with lots of nature around you."
The folks here at the Avera Cancer Institute know if you are here you probably wish you weren't so they wanted to make sure to also give you a place for respite.
If you want to see inside the Prairie Center and Avera Cancer Institute they are holding a public open house on Sunday November 7th from 1:00 to 4:00. Everyone is welcome.
If you are going to the gala and want more information on what guests need to know for Friday night, please visit www.experiencebuildinghope.com or www.averamckennan.org

Saturday's Forecast? Sun-------
Morgan Collett, Josh Rosen, and Colin Tunstall started Saturdays Surf NYC as a Soho surf and coffee shop back in 2009. Less than three years later, the label has evolved from a surfboard and slogan tee-stocked home away from home for the Montauk set to a bona fide lifestyle brand. There was the launch of Saturdays denim last spring and the start of an annual magazine this past summer. Today marks the debut of Saturdays sunglasses, a smart next step for the beachy brand. Style.com has the first look at the Walker, a wayfarer available in three styles, all handcrafted in Japan. The shades feature polarized lenses and a hydrophobic coating that repels water (naturally). Priced at $295, Saturdays' new sunnies are available now at all Saturdays locations and on Saturdaysnyc.com.
Saturdays Surf Rides A New Wave-------
It's been quite a year for lifestyle brand Saturdays Surf. Just last month the laid-back label opened its second New York City store on Perry Street in the West Village, shortly after the March arrival of its first outpost in Japan. And the trio of guys in charge—Morgan Collett, Josh Rosen, and Colin Tunstall, is not planning on slowing down any time soon. The newest Saturdays project? A print magazine. "This is a great opportunity to get into the psyche of what Saturdays represents," Tunstall (whose ten years in the publishing industry as an art director at Esquire, New York magazine, and GQ made him the perfect fit for the role of editor in chief) told Style.com.
Although the brand has gained a reputation for all things surf related, the 290-page first issue of Saturdays Magazine includes an eclectic mix of features, and they aren't all wave riding related. There are nine image portfolios shot by the likes of famous sports photographers Walter Looss and Nick LaVecchia, to name of few, as well as 15 Q&As with a diverse mix of individuals from hotel owner Sean MacPherson and teen surfing sensation Quincy Davis to skateboarder Tony Farmer and eighties fashion designer Jimmy'Z, (known for his Velcro board shorts, which were recently revived at Opening Ceremony). Unlike traditional magazines, there are no styled editorial spreads or even advertisements. "Saturdays is not the livelihood of the brand, nor do we think it will pay the bills," says Tunstall of the mag, which he says will most likely be a biannual publication. "We are doing it simply because we are passionate about the brand." Get a sneak preview of the magazine exclusively on Style.com before it makes its public debut August 1.
Saturdays Magazine will be available for purchase in Saturdays Surf NYC locations, the Saturdays Tokyo flagship, and select bookstores worldwide.
Denim, Now Officially For Saturdays-------
One hardly needs a reason to pay a visit to the Saturdays Surf NYC office, knowing that founders Morgan Collett, Josh Rosen, and Colin Turnstall will be hanging around. But if the surfer boys are what get you through the door, it's the clothing behind it that keeps you coming back season after season. For Fall, the brand that is known for its signature logo T-shirts and board shorts is offering denim, available in two fashion-forward-for-the-guy-who-doesn't-like-fashion fits; the Charlie straight leg (pictured) and the Luke slim fit (both of which were named after friends of Morgan, Josh, and Colin). The jeans, which come in indigo and black, are raw, unwashed, and selvedge, with contrasting colored seams—easy to throw on after a day of riding the waves. For a cool $150, they will be available in August at all Saturdays locations, as well as on www.saturdaysnyc.com.
Saturdays Surf NYC, 31 Crosby St., NYC, (212) 966-7875.
At Saturdays, Surf's Up—Even In January-------
Even at the surf shop, there's no off season. "We surf when it's 30 degrees in January," Saturdays Surf co-founder Morgan Collett said with a laugh at yesterday's preview of the shop's expanding house label. Not everyone may be so bold (or so reckless), but the Fall collection he designed with partners Josh Rosen and Colin Tunstall—the first the brand has shown, debuting exclusively on Style.com—is inspired nevertheless by "surfing in the wintertime—but keeping your NYC lifestyle."
Board short-style swim trunks are available year-round, in other words (the best here in black-on-black or navy-on-navy tonal stripe the guys call "jailbird"), but for the first time, so are outerwear pieces like shearling-lined parkas, Harrington-style Goose jackets, and knit beanies. Flannel shirts join poplins and oxfords (all subtly embroidered on the placket with the Saturdays slash); French terry sweatshirts and cotton/wool knits are a larger part of the range; and a new series of Saturdays tees joins the existing options. "In southern California, surf shops don't have their own labels, but every one has its own T-shirt," Collett explained. (The Saturdays T-shirts are becoming a signature piece for the shop: They were recently picked up by J.Crew, which now offers them in its Spring catalog.) The pricing remains regular-guy friendly: Outerwear tops at $325, with shirts in the $100 range and tees starting at $35.
Not bad for three guys less than three seasons into their own collection. The Saturdays store, bolstered by word of mouth, New York's revived interest in surf culture, and one of the best coffee machines on Crosby Street (the bar at the front part of the shop pulls espressos daily until 7 p.m.), is more and more a destination on the retail map; and the in-house collection is now large enough to fill it completely, pushing most of the store's outside merchandise (Levi's denim, Lightning Bolt tees, and sportswear by the SoCal label Riviera Club) to online-only. (It's TBD if they'll eventually return to the bricks-and-mortar retail space.) And next week, a second Saturdays opens: as a pop-up at the Bio-Top space of the cult Japanese boutique Adam et Ropé in Tokyo.

Parmesan Meatballs
I couldn't get enough of this meal when I was a little girl, and often begged my mom to make it. It's on the short list of favorites in my family as well, for good reason. These flavorful meatballs are bathed in a pool of rich gravy that is perfect for drizzling over rice or mashed potatoes. What's more, the dish comes together quickly and freezes amazingly well. I often double the recipe and freeze the leftovers for dinner in a pinch.
- Mix beef, cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, and 1/2 cup of the milk together with your hands or a spatula in a large mixing bowl.
- Shape mixture into golf-ball sized meatballs and set aside.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and brown quickly on all sides, in a few batches if necessary. Remove from pan and reserve.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan drippings and melt. Whisk the flour into the butter and then gradually add the consommé, whisking constantly until smooth. Stir in wine and remaining 1/2 cup milk. Return meatballs to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through.
Top with chopped parsley and serve over rice or mashed potatoes.
Ingredient Tips: Consommé is found in the grocers canned soup aisle. It's beef broth, enhanced with a bit of gelatin to help it become thick and silky. If you can't find it, a can of regular or low-sodium beef broth is a fine substitute. To make soft bread crumbs, I whiz the crusty end slice of a loaf of bread in my mini-prep food processor or blender.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — Deal dead
After a week of heated negotiations, the Los Angeles Clippers have pulled out of a blockbuster trade with the Celtics according to multiple media outlets.
The Celtics and Clippers have been working on a deal that would send Kevin Garnett and Doc Rivers to the Clippers for DeAndre Jordan. It was not that simple, however, as the two clubs could not come to an agreement.
The Celtics initially wanted guard Eric Bledsoe to be involved in the deal, but the Clippers would not put him in the deal because they were reportedly working on a trade involving the Lakers that would send Bledsoe and Blake Griffin across town in exchange for Dwight Howard.
The Celtics reportedly countered saying they would take Jordan and draft picks if the Clippers would take either Courtney Lee or Jason Terry off the Celtics hands, that's when negotiations began to sour.
The two teams have been rumored to be working on a trade involving Garnett heading all the way back to the NBA trade deadline in March. Rivers became involved in the negotiations after expressing that he was not sure he could commit to the Celtics next season. Both Rivers and Garnett are both under contract with the Celtics.
Hossa likelyto play
The Blackhawks were stricken with a bit of bad luck during warmups before Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals in Boston on Monday. Star forward Marian Hossa, the team's leading scorer in the playoffs, sustained an upper body injury while getting ready for Monday's game, which the Bruins won 2-0 to take a 2-1 lead in the series.
Hossa, however, is "likely to play" in Game 4 tonight back at the TD Garden, at least according to Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville.
"I'm not going to get into exactly what the injury is or where it occurred, but I'm going to say he's likely to play tomorrow night," Quenneville told reporters on Tueday.
Hossa was replaced by Ben Smith, who actually turned in a pretty solid 10 minutes of ice time, but his talent is no where near the top line talent Hossa brings to the table.

Smile to forget the pain,
Smile to wash away the rain,
Smile for another day,
Smile so you can clear the way.
Laugh because you cannot hide,
Laugh because you can't reside,
Laugh for the feeling of being free,
Laugh because it's you and me.
Hug to keep another warm,
Hug to feel away from warn,
Hug and see what its like inside,
Hug to hide the fact you cried.
All the time it's underneath,
Hidden under and far beneath,
Sometimes it scratches,
Sometimes it bites,
And makes you feel the pain of rights.
You always put on that fake fa'ade,
That pure black mask held by a rod.
That mask that hides,
That mask that bides,
Its beautiful exterior,
With a deeming ulterior.
Once you put it on,
And see the new dawn,
Trying to hide,
The fact YOU died.
You smile to forget the pain.
And laugh because you cannot hide,
You hug to keep another warm,
All this to conceal what's inside '

Java script hacked adverts?
I installed a program call MacKeeper, when I found strange things happening with Safari web-browser I uninstalled it.
Then I found the makers of MacKeeper, a firm called Zoebit, managed to embed their advert for MacKeeper into Get free Email accounts: Web based and secure Email - mail.com and Product reviews and prices, software downloads, and tech news - CNET - just two examples. I was particularly concerned that because they could hack their advert into cnet.com and mail.com that some rogue javascript had been placed in my system.
When using https://cnet.com or https://mail.com or a proxy server using http:// the MacKeeper advert was no longer there.
Does anyone know how this company managed to hack these adverts into webpages I view?Thank you for your kind ideas.

They've been called "the Motown of House", and it would be hard under any circumstances to dispute this statement.

GRAYSON COUNTY -- Testimony began Tuesday in the trial of Rickey Stanley, the Whitesboro man charged with the murder of a Grayson County deputy.
Prosecutors began calling their witnesses to the stand including several DPS officers.
The jury watched dash camera video recorded from inside DPS cruisers.
Video obtained by KTEN is from inside a Bonham police officer's vehicle who was involved in the high-speed chase that ended on US Highway 82 and Bethany Road in April 2013. It was the scene that Grayson County Deputy Chad Key was directing traffic around when he was hit and killed.
In court, jurors were shown the moment the Ford one-ton pick-up truck Stanley was driving made impact with Deputy Key.
On the stand, one trooper fought back tears when asked about the emotion he felt following the accident. He said he was feet away from being hit by the truck Stanley was driving and testified he saw his life "flash before his eyes." The trooper He said he had to jump on top of a tow truck avoid being hit.
During cross examination, defense attorneys tried poking holes in the state's case, drawing attention to a lack of flares or cones alerting driver, like Stanley, leading up to the scene.
They also pointed out troopers and deputies were not wearing reflective gear.
Defense attorneys also asked questioned why DPS didn't 'pull out all the stops' in the investigation following Key's death, saying no scene reconstruction was done at the site of the accident, only a scaled version which jurors saw in court.
After Tuesday's hearing, Grayson County District Attorney Joe Brown said, "The crime was on video tape. So the need for reconstruction was only in the mind of the defense. Certainly, when you have the crime on video tape you don't need reconstruction; you've got it on the video." Later in the day, another trooper testified Stanley didn't react in the way he felt a typical person would when he learned a deputy died as a result of his injuries.
Defense attorneys countered by saying everyone deals with shock differently. Stanley is charged with first-degree murder, intoxication manslaughter of a peace officer and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He has pleaded not guilty.Testimony resumes Wednesday morning.RELATED: http://www.kten.com/story/24624057/trial-begins-for-man-accused-of-killing-grayson-county-deputy-chad-key

When attempting to begin a piece in review of Phillies catcher Erik Kratz, I became flustered with how to start. Honestly, when I think of Kratzy, the first thing that pops into my head is this:
No matter how Kratz plays for the duration of his tenure in Philadelphia, or even if his career were to suddenly and tragically end today, Kratz's association with turkey bacon will stand tall. Like the product he peddles, Kratz is lean, but not in his body mass, only his batting average.
Even prior to the beginning of the 2013 regular season the Phillies knew that the team would be without starting catcher Carlos Ruiz due to an adderall-based PED violation that led to a 25-game suspension. With Ruiz saddled on the sideline, the Phillies turned to an unlikely backstop who had propelled himself into the backup role after a solid 2012 campaign. Enter Erik Kratz, a catcher originally drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 29th round of the MLB draft way back in 2002. Kratz finally broke into the big league with the Pirates in 2010, but it wasn't until the Phillies picked him up as a minor league free agent in 2010 that Kratz's true journey to the big leagues would begin.
Technically Kratz played for the Phillies in 2011, but six plate appearances ain't much, and so his Phillies career really begins in 2012. Taking a look at Kratz's overall value to the Phillies since 2012 and more specifically in 2013, we see that the Turkey Bacon Backstop has proved quite valuable in a moderate amount of playing time. Using the new figures that calculate the value of a win calculated by Lewie Pollis at Beyond the Box Score, we see that Kratz's 2.0 wins have been worth about $12.5 million compared to his 2013 salary of $500,000 and 2012 minor league salary. So far, despite minimal playing time, he's been worth it.
So, value aside, let's focus on Kratz in 2013. Kratz slashed at .213/.280/.386, which at glance seems pretty bad, although one number sure does stand out: the slugging percentage. As a big right-handed hitter in a home park that sports two short distances down the lines and a shortish wall in left-field, it wouldn't surprise or aggravate anyone to know that when Kratz came to bat, he looked to crush fastballs with big swings. This essentially made him the typical pull hitter susceptible to breaking balls away, or really just anything off-speed. Pitchers quickly picked up on his tendencies after some success in 2012, changing their approaches to him at the plate accordingly. According to TexasLeaguers.com, pitchers threw Kratz 360 fastballs (4/2 seamers), and 502 none fastballs, including breaking balls and off-speed pitches. After seeing this data, and watching the big man at the plate, it leaves no doubt as to why his numbers at the plate dropped from the tune of a 111 wRC+ to a 78 wRC+.
Still, no one in their right minds would think that Erik Kratz's primary function on the Phillies was his bat. Rarely do backup catchers, unless they are prospects waiting to get their chance as the starter, supply his team with great hitting. Kratz's most important addition to the squad is his ability to handle the pitching staff, play defensively behind the plate, and even his specialty, receiving. According to Matthew Carruth's statcorner.com catcher framing numbers, Kratz was worth 6.7 runs above average just by turning boarder line balls into strikes more than he turned borderline strikes into balls. This skill has most recently been written about by numerous analytically-minded writers including Baseball Prospectus' Ben Lindbergh who has at times discussed Kratz's above-average receiving abilities. As far as blocking pitches in the dirt and holding runners, Kratz under-performed in 2013 in comparison to his 2012 numbers, but some of that difference can be accounted for by the small meniscus tear he suffered that led to surgery and 35 days on the disabled list.
In review, Kratz's 2013 can be summed up as one in which his bat faltered, left-knee suffered, receiving skills shone, and status as "Turkey Bacon King" reigned supreme once again. With Carlos Ruiz taking his first turn in free agency this offseason, Kratz looks to have a secure job with the big league club come 2014. Cameron Rupp looks like the perfect AAAA catcher to build good rapports with the AAA arms that could and probably will see time in Philadelphia, and other options like Tommy Joseph and Sebastian Valle seem to have hit abrupt halts in their contention to eventually catch at the big league level. If the Phillies think that Kratz's production behind the plate can return to the level he enjoyed in 2012, than using him as a 50:50 playing time guy with another catcher, whether it be Ruiz or someone else, could work. Still, the more likely place for Kratz looks to be as the backup to whoever Ruben Amaro decides to overpay to start behind the plate for the Phillies in 2014.
Now that we've examined Kratz the player, let's see what he thinks about his 2013 performance:
1) This season has been an unmitigated disaster. How did you contribute to that disaster?
Honestly, the disaster for me began when the season started, showing that I couldn't handle the job of starting catcher. Fortunately, even though I'm 33 years old, I won't be a free agent until the 2019 season, so unless the higher ups trade me or outright release me, I can continue to contribute in a disaster-like manner for years to come.
2) If I had traded you mid-season, would the team have done better or worse?
Good question, given my lack of overall production due to the return of Chooch into the lineup, I'd say if RAJ somehow found a team willing to give up more than a dozen eggs for me, it probably wouldn't have changed things one way or the other.
3) All of my options are open for next year. Should I trade you, release you, or keep you?
This is easy, please, and I'm actually on the floor begging, don't trade me or release me. While my momentary status as a celebrity on the farm animal talk show circuit might provide for my family for a few months, most likely playing for the Phillies, even at less than $1 million a season, is the most money I'll ever make in my life. Also, I know the secret behind Kyle Kendrick's success, so at least for 2014 I'm most likely invaluable.
4) Some people have questioned whether I should keep my job. Tell them to go fuck themselves by explaining why I should keep it forever.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's not get ahed of ourselves, when you say some people, you mean most. Now, as merely a backup catcher who probably gets paid less than you per season, I'd have no issue also telling you to go fuck yourself. Still, you gave me a chance when no one else did, and i've provided more value for your crappy teams these last two seasons than guys like Victorino, Brown, Revere, Galvis, Ruf, and so on and so forth. So, if anything, you may have made some stupid moves, but just like myself you have some value, and maybe if you hunker down, start buying into the "use all the information we can gather" system that everyone else is employing, we can put together a team to compete.
5) Overall, explain to me how your time with the Philadelphia Phillies has been the highlight of your life.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... are you serious with that question? Well, I played almost as long in the minor league's as Chris Coste, and that's saying something. So, just the idea that the only team to keep me in the majors for longer than a few days has been the Phillies makes this stint so far the highlight of my life. Unless you count this:

What about the PUSD High Schools?
Original post made by Al Cohen on Jun 4, 2011
The AVHS PTSA Grant committee awarded 45 grants worth over $25K to teachers, students and student run organizations. The grants ranged from supplying classrooms with well needed basic resources (such as books and disposable supplies) to providing money for school assemblies for greater diversity acceptance and cyber bullying. Many of these grants, although small, DO make a difference. All of these funds come from the PTSA membership money.
The AVHS SSC allocated a majority of its CORE money to upgrade classroom technology, that in most instances were obsolete and unsupportable. I have spent over 10 years working with various school sites on Technology and the monies allocated to the school site has dwindled through the last few years to not even a trickle from the PUSD. The technology continues to decay and the sites have to fend for themselves with no resources from the PUSD
In each of these instances, the monies were generated from parent donations. I recognize that the increasing burden put upon families is unsustainable. However, until the economic situation turns around, I don't see any other sustaining revenue for High Schools. I have always found it ironic, that the respective High School Booster clubs can raise 100's of thousands of dollars annually for Sports, but people will complain about helping fund class room related needs. Arguments can/are being made about diverting monies from this group to that group. The reality is that if your child is in High School you want them to have the best chance for success. I encourage High School parents to be active in their organizations that enable that success. It is clear that the PUSD look at High School needs as an after thought.

Al -
I'm sure most readers will agree with your observations and comments. From your last paragraph, it seems you believe that only increasing revenue will solve these problems.
Would you support PUSD negotiating three furlough days in order to save $1.5M and dedicate it to technology? This one-time investment could last 3-5 years district wide.
Any other ideas out there?

"It is clear that the PUSD look at High School needs as an after thought."
Yes, and it is not just PUSD but the community as well. They think that having this or that elementary program will make a difference: it will not. In elementary, most of us have to teach our kids the basics as teachers don't since they are too spoled to even teach science on their own (thus the perceived need for the science specialists)
I am pragmatic about the situation and focus on MY child. My money goes to the programs still around that MY child takes a part in, as well as supplementing after school programs that are now gone in HS.
I give donations to MY child's classrooms, booster clubs where MY child is involved, but I will no longer give to CORE - PUSD has the funds but has chosen to misuse them.
HS students must compete with other California HS students for admission into good colleges, but the way this is going, by the time the children of the selfish elementary parents get to HS, they will be lucky to make it to the local community college....too bad.

should be "spoiled"
Start Afresh:
I support the furlough days as long as teachers do not give more work to the students during those days.

The Philippines are an archipelago of more than seven thousand islands off the southeast coast of Asia. Only half of these islands have been named and roughly one thousand are inhabited. Look at how beautiful they are! People first arrived here from the mainland around 25,000 B.C. by crossing a land bridge which existed at the time.
The name comes from Ferdinand Magellan of Portugal, who explored the Philippines in 1521. He claimed them in service of Spain, naming them after Prince Philip. Spain controlled the Philippines for the next 350 years until the Philippine Revolution of 1896.
Here's a picture of Fort Santiago, where the national hero Jose Rizal was imprisoned prior to his execution. He was a poet and novelist who supported peaceful reform, rather than violent revolution, against the Spanish government.
This is one of poems in which he describes the creation of the world, as a gift to his mother:
"Say they that tell of the world, the first dawn of the sun, the first kiss that his bosom inflamed, when thousands of beings surged out of nothing, and peopled the depths, and to the heights mounted, to wherever his fecund kiss was implanted"
Violent revolution broke out anyway and the Philippines changed hands from Spanish, to American, to Japanese control over the next fifty years. Following World War Two they finally became an independent republic.
Back to the beautiful ocean! You can dream about the Cafe Del Mar resort next time you find your screen saver kicking in when you're still sitting at the desk staring blankly. There's a series of DJ mixes with this title but I don't know if it refers to the same place. I would not be surprised.

Striper fishermen in New York and New Jersey have had it pretty good lately. Not only does their season extend well into January, it also seems to begin earlier and earlier each year. It used to be that anglers didn't start targeting striped bass until the first warm breezes of May stirred the air, but that's changing thanks to a burgeoning catch-and-release fishery in Raritan Bay. The action kicks off in mid-April, and is often best long before the opening of New York's striper season.
Raritan Bay separates Staten Island from New Jersey's northern bay shore, and may well be the most productive urban bay in the world when it comes to fishing. Even when water quality was terrible, the bay played host to vast numbers of summer and winter flounder, striped bass, bluefish, weakfish and many other species. Though rarely clear, Raritan's waters are now of good quality, and there's no problem with eating any of the fish caught there. The proximity of the Hudson River is probably responsible for producing such a high-quality early-spring fishery, as bass feed up before entering the river in mid-May to spawn. Herring are often abundant early, but it's menhaden (a.k.a., bunker) that provide the primary spring attraction.
The late Lou Figurelli did an incredible job of improving Staten Island waters and protecting them from commercial fishing. While seiners are able to use spotter planes to ravage schools of bunker on the New Jersey side of the bay, menhaden on the Staten Island side get a pass - except from anglers who catch them with castnets and snagging hooks. The bunker are usually so thick on the Staten Island side that castnetters can usually catch all they need with just a few throws.
How It Started
Credit for developing Raritan's early-spring fishery goes to Captain Pete Wagner of the Hyper Striper from Highlands, New Jersey, who noticed schools of bunker had arrived in the second week of April 2000 and decided to try trolling bunker spoons, even though the water was only around 45 degrees. He enjoyed immediate success with bass in the teens and 20s before other anglers started catching on. Even if bunker aren't readily available, the bass seem to be there. Wagner proved this last year when he started clamming for bass on April 14 and wound up catching 11 legal fish (there's no season on the New Jersey side of the bay) for his charter party, including a 37-pounder.
Now we expect to have solid fishing by mid-April, and start looking for bass even earlier if water temperatures aren't too low. It was March 31 last year when I joined Captain Lou Grazioso and Brian Pieros on the Striper Mania for an Easter-morning experiment in the western end of the bay, where the early action is often best. We launched at Keyport Harbor and trolled the end of the flood tide around hundreds of gannets that were diving on herring near Raritan Reach. However, we only managed to catch two bass of 20 1/2 and 29 1/2 inches on our Mann's Stretch 25 plugs, which generally work well when herring are the main forage. As the tide started to ebb and the water temperature rose to 48.8 degrees, we made a two-hour attempt at clamming and caught seven more bass, including three 25-inchers. The action wasn't anything to brag about, but we were delighted to catch stripers of any kind so early in the season. And now we know that schoolies are active very early if water temperatures aren't too low.
The larger bass seem to arrive with the bunker around the middle of April, and tend to favor the western end of the bay from Raritan Reach right into the Raritan River. Almost all the bass taken on chunks are over 28 inches, with the average fish ranging from the mid-teens to the low 20s - and getting larger every year.
"Stupid Fishing"
The numbers aren't great in mid-April, but within a week or two it's common to release 20 to 30 large bass, plus some bluefish, per tide. By early May there are so many fish around that the situation is often what local striper pro Tony Arcabascio calls "stupid fishing." Rather than having to work small, isolated areas, anglers can simply wander around until they mark something on the depthsounder, then throw the anchor and start catching fish on chunks or clams.
When I told Joe Hughes of South Plainfield about the early-season fishery, he was eager to try it, so on May 7 we went out on my Sheri Berri II. We trolled shad umbrella rigs at Raritan Reach on a slack high tide and quickly caught four bass before schools of bunker began surfacing in mid-bay on the ebb. Every cast of a snatch (snagging) hook produced a bunker, which had to be reeled in quickly to prevent big bluefish from taking them. Drifted chunks produced bass up to 25 pounds, although it was necessary to fight five blues for every striper.
By using 7/0 circle hooks on 60-pound fluorocarbon leader, I managed to avoid many cut-offs. Also, no damage was done to any of the bass, since almost all were hooked in the jaw.
Naturally, it wasn't long before other boats descended on the scene. Surface action usually doesn't last long when there's a lot of boat traffic, but the bunker schools refused to sound, and we were constantly hooked up. At one point I was fighting a 15-pound bass when an angler on a nearby boat shouted that I had snagged his line. I let him reel the fish in, whereupon he discovered that it had both of our hooks in its mouth!
Hughes and I left the scene when Captain Phillip Sciortino of Tackle Box Sportfishing radioed that he was catching mostly bass while chunking at anchor near the Reach. We finished the trip there with some more bass, then ran back to Highlands. On the way we encountered school after school of bunker, and couldn't resist making a stop, which resulted in another bass and more blues. In just one morning of red-hot fishing we had released 21 stripers and at least 80 blues - leading all hands to agree that this was indeed "stupid fishing!" It's not like that every day, of course, and the wild action usually settles down to the point where the pros have to anchor on their secret spots in order to score consistently.
Lots of Big Fish
Raritan Bay's early-season stripers can be taken in a variety of ways. There are days when surface plugging works well, though that's usually the exception. Fly-rodders don't enjoy as much surface action as in the fall, but are still able to score with big fish on sinking lines by drifting over marks on the depthsounder. (Richie Fink boated a 36 3/8-pound IGFA fly-rod world record on 20-pound tippet last April 24.) Wire-line trolling with shad umbrella rigs and bunker spoons can produce consistent action, and trolled plugs also work well most of the time. However, nothing beats a real bunker!
Bunker not only produce lots of bass, but some of the largest fish. Arcabascio, one of Staten Island's most respected striper captains, caught fish up to 42 pounds last spring on bunker, though all of his biggest fish were hooked before the May 8 season opener. He managed a 32.55-pounder during the mid-May American Striper Association Sandy Hook Tournament, but was nipped for first place by a 32.77-pound fish.
Live bunker often provide exciting sport, and that was especially the case before the 2002 Memorial Day weekend, when a run of large bass developed near West Bank Light. Those fish gobbled menhaden like candy! Though live bunkers are best fished on treble hooks, I experimented with 7/0 and 9/0 circle hooks and had no trouble hooking up.
Clams Come On
Bunker-chunking action usually levels out toward the end of May, when it becomes more of a night fishery, while clamming begins to dominate the daytime action. Whereas the early run is made up almost entirely of large bass, with few New Jersey slot-size fish (24 to less than 28 inches) thrown in, the slots dominate from late May into early July, or until the run peters out. Even so, bass in the teens remain common, and a few in the 20s are also caught.
Clamming action is often wild, making the use of circle hooks more important. That's because clams are usually sucked down in a flash, causing a high level of mortality when J-hooks and even offset circle hooks are used. Night clamming tends to be more effective as the waters warm, especially during periods of heavy boat traffic. It's usually important to have fresh clams, and to chum consistently. Grazioso puts over two chum pots full of clam bellies and also cracks surf clams to spread around the boat. At times, it's also effective to squeeze some clam bellies and drop them astern, especially when the current isn't screaming.
For better or worse, big bluefish are part of Raritan Bay's spring striper fishery. They usually arrive at the beginning of May, but last year we started catching them on April 20. Most are very long and skinny, weighing much less than they do in the fall after a summer of feeding inshore. Needless to say, bluefish love bunker, so anglers have no choice but to deal with them.Arcabascio prevents cut-offs by rigging with black, nylon-covered, steel leader, and still catches plenty of bass. I prefer to rig with heavy fluorocarbon leader and circle hooks. The latter prevents cut-offs by catching in the corner of the fish's jaw most of the time.
If lots of action with large bass in shallow and fairly protected waters sounds like a good deal, don't pass up an opportunity to get in on the great spring run in Raritan Bay. While other anglers are still dreaming about bass, you can be catching them! Just be sure to stick with circle hooks and release those big spawning-age fish so we'll be able to enjoy great action far into the future.

Workers with short careers in Social Security-covered employment receive an advantage from the Social Security benefit formula, which treats them as low-wage workers and provides Social Security's progressive, relatively higher benefit to them. Congress passed the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) in 1983 to remove this advantage for workers who also have pension benefits from local, state or federal employment, but who did not contribute to the Social Security system during this employment.

Abercrombie & Fitch.
on Jun 8, 2011 at 7:18 am
Our schools should put uniform issue into consideration like Japanese schools b/c it will decrease the issue of popularity.
on Jun 8, 2011 at 12:03 pm
Girls wear American Eagle, Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister (offshoot of A&F), PacSun, UGGs, Converse All-Star sneakers, skinny jeans.
Uniforms would never occur in public schools here. United States is the land of freedom of expression. Besides, Castilleja girls school has uniforms but girls can wear accessories, style their hair, wear their choice of closed-toed shoes, and it is still glaringly obvious who is popular and who is not. It just makes dressing everyday easier.
A factor in popularity is also personality, not just clothing.

82,000 people are waiting for a kidney right now in this country. What many people don't understand is that you don't have to die or be related to donate one of your kidneys. We met a Brookings man who really wanted to give something of himself to his wife for Christmas last year, so he gave her a kidney.
Last year at this time, the Kampmann family from Brookings wasn't doing any last minute Christmas shopping. Instead they were in the hospital because on Christmas Eve day Tony gave his wife Jennifer a kidney.
Tony says, "I've known for about 15, 16 years that this was going to happen. We were just waiting so I didn't think about it too much."
Jennifer was born with Polycystic Kidney Disease. It's a genetic disorder where cysts form in the kidney. Overtime those cysts restrict the kidney from doing its job which is to filter wastes and extra fluid from the blood and turn it in to urine. Jennifer, now 36 has known since she was 17 that one day she would need a kidney. Her husband knew when that day came he would gladly give her one of his. Luckily, they were a perfect match.
Jennifer says, "Surprisingly, I wasn't feeling as lousy as most people would think, but now that I have a new kidney I can tell I was probably feeling poorly. I was just probably used to feeling that way."
The Kampmanns hope that in the hustle and bustle of the season and the rush to fill shopping bags you consider giving something invaluable: The gift of life.
Jennifer says, "There are no words to describe it. It's amazing. I'm very thankful and encourage others who are considering it to do so because it's the most wonderful gift you can give someone and seeing Tony today you'd never know he was any different. He lives the same life he lived before. It's been a great process."
Getting a kidney from a live person rather than someone who's died is better for the recipient. Dr. Chris Auvenshine with the Avera Transplant Institute says the surgeries are planned before the person goes on dialysis, plus they are done in adjacent operating rooms so the transfer is quick which means less "down time" for the kidney.
Dr. Auvenshine says, "It functions almost immediately, and it tends to perform much better."
Jennifer says, "It was the best Christmas gift I could ever get."
And what great role models they are for their daughters Shelby and Emma in a season that is all about giving and sharing and love.
Jennifer's mother also had a kidney transplant. She got hers from her step-daughter. Everyone, the recipients and the donors are all doing great. If you are interested in getting on the donor list contact the Avera Transplant Institute.
