Love this rug!!
Jessica from Coral Springs, FL– Verified Buyer
I bought 2 of this color and one of the darker one. This one is more cream with slight beige undertones. The darker version is a richer mocha color. Super soft and very comfortable. Have gotten tons of compliments.
Great rug for nursery!
Autumn from Chattanooga, TN
I love that this rug is washable! It is perfect for a nursery, and it looks like it will hold up very well.
Looks great in our nursery
Kimberly Mavroides from Roslindale, MA– Verified Buyer
I love this rug! The color and texture is wonderful. It looks very modern while also being playful: perfect for a nursery that you don't want to be too cartoony. I'd orginially wished that this came in a 5' round, but the 4' round is actually a fairly decent size.I'm so glad that I found this option.
Super Cute
Kerry Desai from Arlington, VA– Verified Buyer
This is a great rug. Using it in our daughter's nursery. Very soft. Have a similar one in our older daughter's room and she loves to sit & read on it. The cafe au last color is really cream colored, which is perfect for what we needed.
Well made
Joanna Skordakis from Canada– Verified Buyer
Love this rug. It is really soft and durable. My son pulls on the cotton all the time and nothing comes undone or tears.
Perfect for our Nursery
pstofe from Allentown, PA
I found this rug on Wayfair after searching for it by the product name. I was pleased with the price [...]. It' s a great deal for a quality rug. This completes the look of our nursery and it is super soft-- perfect for those long nights I'll be standing over the crib :) It's made out of a t-shirt material. Not sure how it will clean/wear since you can't vacuum it and I haven't needed to wash it yet, but it looks beautiful.

Clementine (edition 2010)

Clementine by Cherie Priest
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I liked Clementine better than Boneshaker. It stands alone in the same world, so you don't have to read Boneshaker first. Clementine features a couple of really interesting protagonists and it's nice to see a black man on the cover of a fantasy novel, isn't it? The audio version of Clementine is terrific. The two narrators, Dina Pearlman and Victor Bevine, work together seamlessly.
quick, fun-ish read. too character driven and simple and not enough steampunk awesomeness - save the dirigibles. the characters were interesting...but it was all reactionary. if that makes sense? could be a good little made-for-tv movie though. heh.
'Clementine' is the new name of the 'Free Crow', the recently stolen air ship of Captain Croggon Hainey. It's making its way across the United States, carrying something heavy to a sanitarium in the east. Hainey, escaped slave and air pirate, is chasing it in the airship that he stole in turn, the Valkyrie, and has found himself the unwilling partner of Maria Isabella Boyd- Belle Boyd- former Confederate spy, former actress, and currently a Pinkerton agent – and, by the way, an actual historical person. Belle's job is to see to it that the 'Clementine' makes it safely to the east and to capture Captain Hainey if possible; Hainey just wants his air ship back. But something is definitely wrong about the story Belle has been told, and temporarily teaming up with Hainey looks to be the best way to find out what's going on.
This is a fast paced story, trimmed down like a race horse to fit into novella size. Yet despite the short length and nearly non-stop action, Priest has room to create fleshed out characters and to address the race relations of the late 1800s (in her Clockwork Century world, the Civil War is still going on after two decades), where having Belle, a white Southern woman, and former slave Hainey working and traveling together is unusual. A word from Belle against Hainey and he'd be strung up without question; Hainey's all black crew doesn't trust Belle and wants her gone as soon as possible because of this. This gives the short adventure story an extra tension and depth that many fantasy stories don't have.
Clementine is a pure chase novel. The main story is the cross country chase of a stolen dirigible, using, naturally, another stolen dirigible. Her lead characters really make the story, especially the female main character, Belle Boyd. She's smart and capable, but not anachronous.
There is some world-building in the short novel, (more if you were lucky enough to also receive the bundled short "Tanglefoot," which I HIGHLY recommend,) this story is really about this single adventure, the pursuit of the Clementine.
Clementine is labeled as "The Clockwork Century #2," and although it is part of a larger whole, it doesn't suffer from reading out of sequence. Priest tells her story, whole, and if you read in sequence, you'll have a somewhat richer experience of the tale, but the previous story is not necessary to the enjoyment of this one.
First of all, I have to mention how difficult it was to figure out what was up with this book. I checked my book sites when I was starting to read Dreadnought and they all said it was book three in the series. But where's book two?, I wondered. I checked my local library (nope), I checked Barnes and Nobles' site (uh uh) and I checked Amazon (yes, but only if I want to pay fifty bucks for a two hundred page book. A little more research turned up the fact that for some reason Tor did not want to release the second book, so it went somewhere else, thus the lack of availability and the expensiveness. At any rate, since I cannot stand to read series out of order, I purchased the Kindle copy for $2.99, which seems to be the only realistic way to read this book. Crazy!
The story was, as mentioned before, fairly brief. It should not have been in any other way. As it is, it sets and maintains a good pace. It fills a bit of a gap from the first book. It's nice to see an author following a dangling plot thread, rather than leaving you wondering why his ship got stolen in book one other than to give a bunch of airmen a reason to be on the scene in Seattle. Much like in the first book, the characters still lack a bit of depth, but they are slightly improved.
The best thing about Cherie Priest's books though are her kickass women. Maria Boyd, in my opinion, puts the ladies of Seattle to shame, because she is smart, strong and willing to do whatever she has to in order to get her way. Action and gunfights abound and Maria is often right in the middle of them.
Fun bit of wordplay:
"'That's big of you,' Maria said dryly.
'I'm glad you approve,' he responded with equal lack of humidity."
Oh, that's great. Lack of humidity! It's such a terrible joke (which is why I love it)!
A fun second book for the series, quick and easy, like sorbet or crackers to cleanse the palette after a course in a meal or wine tasting.

Maria Isabella Boyd's success as a Confederate spy has made her too famous for further espionage work, and now her employment options are slim. Exiled, widowed, and on the brink of poverty...she reluctantly goes to work for the Pinkerton National Detective Agency in Chicago.Adding insult to injury, her first big assignment is commissioned by the Union Army. In short, a federally sponsored transport dirigible is being violently pursued across the Rockies and Uncle Sam isn't pleased. The Clementine is carrying a top secret load of military essentials--essentials which must be delivered to Louisville, Kentucky, without delay.Intelligence suggests that the unrelenting pursuer is a runaway slave who's been wanted by authorities on both sides of the Mason-Dixon for fifteen years. In that time, Captain Croggon Beauregard Hainey has felonied his way back and forth across the continent, leaving a trail of broken banks, stolen war machines, and illegally distributed weaponry from sea to shining sea.And now it s Maria's job to go get him.… (more)

Melvin Ejim had a double-double and Will Clyburn fueled a 12-0 second-half run, helping Iowa State survive an uncharacteristic 3-point drought to beat Oklahoma 73-66 on Thursday and end a seven-year losing streak in the Big 12 tournament.
The Cyclones, who led the country and set a school record with 309 3-pointers, missed 11 of their first 12 from behind the arc and fell 14 points behind. But they found the range in the second half and hit six 3-pointers while chalking up their first conference tournament win since 2005.
On Friday, the fifth-seeded Cyclones (22-10) will meet either top-seeded Kansas or No. 9 seed Texas Tech.
Ejim had 23 points and 12 rebounds, Clyburn had 17 points, and Georges Niang and Chris Babb each had 10.

"A man who has made no enemies is probably not a very good man," Justice Antonin Scalia told Charlie Rose last week.
In the wide-ranging interview, the pair discussed everything from critics to the problems with judicial confirmations.
Scalia also touched on the fact he is one of the most hated justices on the high court despite what Rose described as his "charming" personality.
"I think I'm a pretty nice fella," Scalia told Rose, adding he thinks he has so many enemies simply because he's so consistent about following his beliefs.
Scalia calls himself a textualist, meaning he believes the Constitution should be interpreted based on what the Founders thought to be true at the time of its ratification.
We can't embed the video but the pair's conversation about enemies begins around the 32-minute mark.

Great to add in a protein shake!
Just add Chia Fresh Daily Fiber in 6g to your protein shake which makes a thicker shake plus fills you up with the extra fiber!
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Found a way to eat it!
Chia seeds are good for you. The best way I have found to eat them is mixed in oatmeal. They dont have really any taste but the texture when you mix them with water or yogurt was not appealing to me. The oatmeal masks the texture and makes it easy to eat!
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Sony claims PS4 is 43 times more powerful than the PS2, an unnecessary lie that perpetuates the megahertz myth March 10, 2014 at 1:23 pm
By now, even if you don't consider yourself a hardware nerd, you probably know that the PlayStation 4 is significantly more powerful than the Xbox One. So now we're going to change the conversation a bit, and discuss how much more powerful the PS4 is than the PS2. According to Sony (which produced the infographic pictured above), thanks to the PS4′s eight-core CPU, it has 43 times the processing power of the PS2! Of course, this is a completely meaningless comparison — so let's dive in and look at things in a slightly more rational manner.

Secrets of Steamroller: Digging deep into AMD's next-gen core March 3, 2014 at 12:01 pm
AMD's Steamroller core, found in Kaveri APUs, is an interesting duck. It's the first chip to ship with HSA support, the first CPU core that can be paired with a GCN-based graphics core, and it promised significant improvements in performance-per-clock that were then largely offset by a lower clock speed. Our investigation shows that the situation isn't that simple, however — there are some areas, particularly on the APU side of the equation, where Steamroller is far better than its predecessor. This article is a low-level investigation into where the chip improved, where it fell short, and what AMD might do going forward.

Cambria Heights' Davis battling his way to Hershey
Joe Davis was afraid that his high school wrestling career was over.
The Cambria Heights senior was sitting in a doctor's office on Jan. 2 when he learned that he had to have a screw removed from his surgically repaired right leg, which he broke in a football game three months earlier.
He had already missed more than a month of wrestling season and if he had the procedure done then it likely would have ended his hopes of making a comeback.
"It was hard hearing that I might not get to wrestle at all," he said.
Davis asked if the removal could be postponed until after wrestling season and if he could compete with the screw still in his leg.
A week later, he was back on the mat for the Highlanders. On Saturday, he qualified for the PIAA championships.
"That was 100 percent guts," Cambria Heights coach Mike Eckenrode said after Davis beat Richland's Adam George for fifth place at 126 pounds in the Southwest Regional and a spot in Hershey. "Good job by Joe there."
Davis, who is 27-5 this season, has had plenty of ups and downs in his career. He has consistently been one of the best lightweights in the area, as he reached the District 6 finals in each of the past three seasons. Each time he finished second.
Despite his injury, he was able to pick up his 100th career victory this year.
Last season, he reached the semifinals of the Southwest Regional but lost his next three matches to finish sixth – one spot out of the state tournament. He reached the semifinals again on Friday, then lost two straight on Saturday to put himself in another precarious position.
In order to extend his high school career he needed to beat George, the same wrestler who denied him a district title two weeks ago.
Just like the last time, it was a tight match, but this time, Davis came away with a 5-4 victory and a long-awaited trip to Hershey.
"Pretty nerve-racking," Davis said of the fifth-place match. "Win you go to states, lose you go home. Being a one-point match, it's always nerve-racking."
So how did his emotions after the win compare to those he felt after last year's loss?
"You can't compare them," Davis said. "Last year, I was devastated. I worked so hard to try to make it to states and dropped three in a row. This year, almost doing it again, I just had it in my head I wasn't doing it again. I wasn't doing the same thing a second year in a row."
The victory earned him a spot in the state tournament – and a very tall task.
In the first round of the tournament, which begins Thursday, Davis will face Zeke Moisey of Bethlehem Catholic, who is 40-0 and ranked No. 1 in the state and fourth nationally at the weight.
Still, just getting to the state tournament has been an accomplishment, considering what Davis has been through this year.
Davis still has a plate in his leg, and he estimated that there are 12 screws in it. He said that when a player fell on his leg it broke the fibula and "tore almost everything on the inside of the ankle."
He still has some problems with it – he hurt it in his consolation semifinal bout and was forced to take an injury timeout near the end of his match with George – but that he's able to deal with it.
"A little sore," is how he described it a few minutes after he triumphantly limped off the mat. "It hurt a little bit the match before, but nothing to major. I can probably get through one more week."
Eckenrode was afraid the screw might have broken.
"Today, I didn't think he was going to be able to finish the match, let alone beat the kid that beat him last week," the coach said. "He really gutted it out."
Davis is already scheduled to have surgery four days after the PIAA tournament ends. He's just happy he was able to put it off long enough to realize his dream.
"To go to states (after having to) come back, get into shape, fight hard to get where I need to be, I couldn't be happier," Davis said.

Jon Lester is punishing us for taking away the chicken.
Do you ever think it's on purpose? Like, for some reason, Jon Lester is mad at us?
My puppy does this sometimes. Not so much anymore now that she's a grown up (take note, Jon Lester). But you hear about it. Your puppy is angry at you so she poos in the middle of the floor. Or on your Fortune magazine.
Is this your middle-of-the-floor poo, Jon Lester? Okay. We get it. We'll walk you. GEEZ.
Baaaaaad Pirate loss aside (the fricking PIRATES?), things aren't so stable in the nation.
And, despite what you may read, it's not just the rotation that's breaking like hips on osteoporosis.
Check out this depressing read on Carl Crawford. Actually… don't. You might not want to… Here. Read this pointless article on A-Gonz instead. Or this!
Oh good. Media reports of "trouble brewing." I'm so glad we have the media to interpret horrible losses as horrible losses.
Okay. 6-5 wouldn't be horrible. You know. Unless it was against the FRICKING Pirates.
But, let's be comforted in the fact that it is just a dress rehearsal. Let's all take a deep breath and…
Hi, Media. You're back.
Is Bobby Valentine taking the right approach? <- Really? How can we POSSIBLY know that when haven't even played a REAL game? Seriously, people. I'm not going to say I'm wading in tulips over the way this week has been playing out, but it's SPRING TRAINING. They don't always nail the soliloquies weeks before the show, guys…
The losses aren't what fills me with motionsicky dread. What fills me with motionsicky dread is the overall organization, or lack thereof. How we're still in rumored talks with Roy Oswalt (SERIOUSLY) and don't have a concrete rotation. Or a concrete lineup. Or a concrete anything, really. It's like a dress rehearsal with only half a script. THAT is what we should be freaking out about. Not specifics. The general icky disorganization.
Panic about the CORRECT thing, Soxies.
Bobby V is still not sure about Bard- I'm okay with that uncertainty. It's this thing Bobby V and I share. If we were friends, we'd talk about this over cheesecake. Bobby V, unlike most of you, Twitter world, gets the free pass dilemma. Bard keeps handing them out. I think it's because he's charitable. There's no room for charitable DURING the games, Bard. That's what Jimmy Fund events are for…
"I don't think that even with his good stuff I could handle the walks," Valentine said. "Now I don't know if [it's the] spring…and trying to impress. That's why I looked for the changeup. If there was a pitch he wasn't comfortable with and that was causing some of these negative counts, I would have been able to use that as an excuse."
Of course, look at our options… Doubront… MILLER…
Sigh. With the current troupe of players, Bard might be the default…
I have said all along I trust Aceves' experience over Bard's mound moping… I like Bard. I do. I like him in the bull pen. And, for once, I am not alone in the universe…
Speaking of things to get dizzy about- the Red Sox, at $1 billion (which will buy you a lot of yachts, eh, John Henry?), is the THIRD most valuable team, behind Stanks ($1.85 billion) and Dodgers )$1.5 billion). I'm telling you, it's all those damn trucker hats the Stanks sell.
The Sox were FOURTH highest in TV rankings… But see, no one actually had to watch us last year, with the media's careful attention to September highlights…

Do you think they'll refund us our $69 from last year? I sure could use that money. I'd buy eggs.
Have you tweeted me yet? You should.
Speaking of Twitter, apparently, Red Sox Nation was baffled by an Aviles impersonator on Twitter…
PS- They're trying to make me forget about Jason Varitek again, you guys. I feel as though we should all buy matching NEVER FOREGET bracelets. Who's with me?
Mulder says we should believe in you, Dice-K. But I have been hurt before.
Happy Jon Lester day, everybody! Sorry, just practicing. That's right! The most Lesterish of all the lefties is primed to attack opening day.You're watching, right? Because apparently Lester's father won't be. And that's a shame, because Lester's a special, special guy, and I'm sure he's sorry about Soxplosion, 2011. I'm sure he's sorry and that I'll be getting my apology letter any day now.
I'm expecting one from you too, DOUBRONT. I hate to judge games I didn't physically watch… but REALLY? REALLY, FELIX?
They were saying NICE things about you. Remember that? Remember THIS?
And you go Lackey on us against the fricking Twins?
And I didn't forget about YOU, Melancon. I'm just… I can't… I WILL GET TO YOU LATER. What really frightens me about you, Melancon? Is that Bobby V doesn't seem to think you are horrible.
"Melancon outing? I thought he backed up the bases pretty well. He had that down," said Valentine when asked about the reliever…
It absolutely fills me with a cold, hollow, trapped-in-a-well kind of fear when the managers think Lackey-esque performances back up bases "pretty well." We saw it with Francona and Lackey. We saw it with Francona and Timlin. Need I remind anyone of a man named Lugo? Nearsightedness is a part of the aging process, Bobby V. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Just recognize it now and get some cool specs by April, k? They make prescription sunglasses and you could probably even get a fake nose and mustache for them.
Bobby V says he's going to "sit down" and have a serious conversation about pitching. Um. Okay. Sure. I mean, I would have had that sit down, serious conversation about pitching while forming my rotation. You know. DURING THE OFFSEASON. But sure, with what, TWO FRICKING WEEKS to go before Opening Day? Sure. Let's all just SIT DOWN now. You sure you don't want to wait two weeks? Maybe discuss it over CHICKEN?
I'm okay. I'm okay. Totally over September. TOTALLY OVER IT.
I have said it before. I shall say it again. Right. Now. Aceves for rotation. Do it, Bobby V. DO IT. It's not like we can…
Wait… what… wh… oh my God you guys… Could it… is it… DON'T TOY WITH ME, BOBBY. I have been hurt before. What's that? Shining in the distance?
Oh hope, you calculating mistress… teasing us in the form of a…
This is exactly like that early 90s cult classic, "the X-Files," available now on Netflix.
Allow me to explain.
See, for those of you who were like, seven when this came out with mean parents who didn't let you watch the X-Files because of "graphic content" and nightmares and stuff (and you don't have Netflix. Because, if you have Netflix, I'm sure you're already a "believer"), the X-files is about these two FBI agents. There's a skeptic. Her name is Scully. She's not relevant to my rambly metaphor. But I like her hair. And then there's Mulder. See, Mulder, really WANTS TO BELIEVE in things like extraterrestrials and scifi stuff and an afterlife, right, because it gives his life's mission purpose. It means there's something out there that means something, see? Oh, and that his sister isn't dead. But you can get a full explanation on that sideplot from wikipedia.
"I want to believe that the dead are not lost to us…"
Dice-K, I WANT TO BELIEVE in you, because that gives the 80 katrillion dollars and 17 gallons of tears I have shed for you a purpose. But I need evidence.
Much in the same way that, in season 2 of X-Files, Mulder needs EVIDENCE to continue his quest.
Can you tell what I was doing before I made Raleigh friends?
So see, Dice-K. You're the aliens. We want to believe in you. But you've got to stop abducting people and just have a nationally televised conversation. And. You know. Pitch.
What do you think, Soxies? Do you believe in Dice-K? Or do you think we're alone in the universe?
In other news, the media is really sorry about all that chicken sh#$ (see what I did there?) they spread in September and they're trying to apologize by over compensating Lavarnway style. I appreciate the attempt to keep my cries of "VARITEK! WHYYYYY" at a minimum. But, seriously, Boston Globe. You don't have to pander to me. All I need is time.
Some encouraging words about Jose… I mean, we didn't win. But, apparently, he caught a cool ball. So that's nice.
Oh, and the media, so astute they are, have decided to tell us all that Bobby V is not Terry Francona. Thanks, Yahoo Sports. What would I do without you in my life? I get you mixed up too, media. Like, just the other day, I was like, Why, Hello, Anderson Cooper! What are YOU doing in the booth? And then I realized it was Jerry Remy. You make THAT much sense, Yahoo Sports.
In conclusion, today was a sucky Red Sox day. Except for the bit about Lesterness.
So, comment, nation. Comment away. Doubront, or not to Doubront? Dice-K, or not to Dice-K? Aliens, or no aliens? Scully or Mulder?
I am alive. Apparently, you CAN live without… *sigh*… Jason… VARITEKKKKKK
I am alive.
Thanks for asking.
Seriously. The thirty bazillion messages you guys have sent me over the past three weeks have been a nice interruption from my days of working and pretending to unpack.
I live in Raleigh now. I have a real job. Oh. And an iPhone.
Now. I don't want to come down on you too hard. After all, this is the first TooSoxy you've had in a month. But. I feel some criticism is warranted.
Ahem. I'll try to stay calm. I'll try-
Really, guys? Really? REALLY? Re-frickingeallllyyyyy?
Tim Wakefield?! Jason Varitek???? WHITNEY FRICKING HOUSTON????
What did you guys NOT destroy while I was gone? Who's next? Judi Dench? (Please, GOD, NOT JUDI. TAKE ANDERSON COOPER. Or one of the Real Housewives!)
I just don't know what to say to you people.
That's why I've been absent. It's not me. It's YOU.
And your POOR stewardship of life and things.
So. Jason Varitek, hmm? I cried. A lot. I mean, part of it was that the night Jason Varitek announced his retirement was the night my car broke.
So begins the story of operation Red Sox friend hunt. Ahem. Imagine me saying this in a snazzy radio voice, k?
So, I heard of this group. The Triangle Red Sox Nation, right? So, I thought, what a perfect way to start my Raleigh friend hunt! God, of course, had other plans.
God killed the electric system on my car.
Let's just say after my parking lot temper tantrum, Triangle Red Sox Nation will remember me…
Oh. I went on a date with a Red Sox fan. Well. Um. It was kind of a date. And another one with this really Democraty guy. That was different. It kind of felt like I was on a date with the news.
Oh. And I met this Stankee fan who is also a UNC fan and it was a thing.
There are lots of things.
I've gotten really good at this unpacking thing, for example.
See, the cool thing about living by yourself in an apartment with five closets is… you can do THIS.
oh! And This.
SERIOUSLY. TIM WAKEFIELD? He was our INSURANCE. Don't you people listen to ANYTHING I say?
Oh. And I'm still seeing the perfect guy. The one who lives in Boone. But you know. By seeing, I mean NOT seeing. Since he's in Boone. And I'm in Raleigh, the land of traffic circles where people are consistently confused by traffic circles. And he seems intrigued by the fact that, come April, I'll hulk up into the Soxzombie. I don't think he believes me, actually. I told him about that one time I accidentally… um… dropped that napkin dispenser on that one guy…
I think he doubts my hulkness.
So. Um.
I haven't been watching spring training. Um.
And I haven't been my usual Soxzombieness. Because I work a lot.
And. Um.
Oh, wow. He's really gone, isn't he?
Are we sure? I mean… um…
Are we…
I'm sorry. I've missed a month. I have to go watch Bodyguard on repeat with an Edy's pint. Excuse me.
The baseball old folks' home preps to add a few. Will require annex for Posada's ego.
J.D. Drew is "probably" retiring, reports today indicate. Despite the mad flurry of Drew-hate peppering the nation over the past two years, I've never had a huge problem with you, J.D. I find your breakability irritating. I find your inconsistency mind-numbing (but attribute it to your breakability). But I remember the real you, J.D. I can still remember your home run pops and that cool indifferent reaction to your own badassishness. You'll finish your career with a respectable 242 homers and my respect, sir.
You were very, very expensive. I mean. I don't want to nitpick. But you were very. VERY. Expensive. I loved you in 2007. But I loved everyone in 2007 (mostly). I mean, you're no Kevin Youkilis, J.D. Drew, but you can afford a Kevin Youkilis beard implant, if you want. I mean, you did average like, $8 million a year for 14 years. That's even more impressive than those 242 homers. I hope you can use your retirement to… I don't know… take vitamins or something.
In addition to the hefty salary, Drew's inability to stay completely healthy contributed to the stigma that he was overrated. He never appeared in more than 146 games in a season and averaged just 470 plate appearances per campaign from 1999-2011.
But, in the words of Marc Antony, I come to honor you. Not pick you apart flaw by expensive flaw. But I think you need to retire. I think you need to retire. And up those fricking Flintstones because every time you break, angels cry.
In "whatever" retirement news, Jorge Posada officially announced his retirement today.
I am devastated. Really.
Just when my Posada verb was catching on.
Just when people were starting to say "Go Posada yourself" when they were cut off in traffic.
Just when "I don't give a Posada whether you take my lunch money. You'll never take my self respect," was the new "it" phrase to thwack bullies with…
"I could never wear another uniform," Posada said at a televised Yankee Stadium news conference.
Literally. Didn't you… um… try? And then have absolutely no success? Because no other uniforms would take you? You really Posada-ed yourself with that temper tantrum over the summer, mate.
Our very own Jason Varitek (possibly the next name on the plaque in front of the old folks retirement home) even had a comment. But he's old too. He doesn't know what he's saying.
"After hundreds of head-to-head games during the regular season and the postseason, I can't say I respect and admire anyone at our position more than I do Jorge. The hard work and preparation he put into catching is a huge reason he has five championships on his resume. He is a true grinder."
As for the Tek (we alllllll know my Tek obsession. I won't give you a double dose)-
Captain Jason Varitek, still looking to come back with the Red Sox, is figuring out what his next step will be, according to a source close to him.
It seems to me that dragging this out is helping no one, guys. He's the captain. Show him a little more respect than arbitrary offers. Get real or get him coaching. ASAP.
I'm 27. And I'll retire at age like, 97 at this rate.
So. Um.
Wow. That's depressing.
I need a moment, guys…
PS- The bulk of the emails I have been receiving today are in regards to my Tim Thomas comments. If that's why you're here, find those comments here and here.
And if you have a comment on ANYTHING you see here today, feel free to shoot me a buzz at email@example.com. I LOVE e-mails. Like LOVE e-mails more than Posada loves his rings.
Side note- $214 million? NINE years? Um. Okay. I don't want Prince Fielder anymore. Um.
Would you like some Salt with your comeback tour?
With just months to go before the amazing Red Sox Comeback Tour 2012, our very own Saltalamacchia did the sensible thing- and accepted money to stay another year.
2.5 million will buy a lot of Salt. Hopefully, 140 games worth.
"I'm preparing myself for 140, 160 games," Saltalamacchia said, speaking at the Jimmy Fund event on Saturday. "I don't want to prepare myself for 80 or 100. I want to be ready and catch as many as I can."
See, I like Salty. I mean, he's no Tek… but I like you, Jarrod. You have a fun name. You surprise us with some kickass (and timely, A-Gonz. TIMELY) homeruns. And you have succccchhhhhh a fun name.
"This year, I feel a little more like I can say a few things, kind of express myself," Saltalamacchia said. "I know the AL East a little bit more than I did in the past and I feel a little better in that sense."
Express yourself, sure. Just don't Schilling yourself, kid. I think Salty is the bee's knees. And I am not alone.
Happy Salty Day, guys.
It must be nice to get $2.5 million after a year of $750k. It must be nice to make $750k. It must be nice to make $750. Or. Um. Like seven. People with money must be so happy.
Well, there you go. Pedro says keep Tek forever.
When Pedro says something, the gods themselves listen.
True story. Like, this one time, he was like, wow, I wish I had a grilled cheese sandwich. And these birds flocked from the trees and learned how to make a grilled cheese sandwich. Like how they made the dress in Cinderella. Except with, you know, toast and cheese and stuff.
That could have happened. You don't know. You're not here. North Carolina is a magical place.
Pedro said something amazing today.
"If there are any Red Sox management here, you cannot let 'Tek go," Martinez said at a charity dinner in his honor at the Liberty Hotel. "You have to keep him in Boston. He was our head, our captain. He should retire as a member of the Red Sox, and never leave."
This comes the same day we hear Tek's been given a pity invite to spring training.
Yeah, well you know what, John Henry? He's going to go to spring training. He's going to train like you won't believe. He's going to train so well that you'll beg him to come back to the roster. BEG HIM. Right Tek?
Um… Right Tek?
Um… So… Tek's been awfully quiet through all of this…
Does that bother anyone else?
The Red Sox fairly have made clear to him that if he did come to camp, he'd serve mostly as "protection" in the event one of their two catchers, Jarrod Saltalamacchia or Kelly Shoppach, is hurt. Ryan Lavarnway is seen as Boston's catcher of the future but is expected to start the year in Triple-A Pawtucket.
Then again… there's another option.
The team has offered him an invite to spring training as a non-roster player, and if he elects to retire, the team is interested in having him in their front office.
Add in circulating rumors that he could be Pawtucketting... Really?
And, well, at least you're in the news today, Tekky.
I'd kind of like to hear exactly what Tek thinks. Because, see, I'm kind of in favor of whatever Tek wants to do. I'm kind of hoping Tek wants to relocate to Boone, North Carolina and be my personal mentor. But, you know, whatever.
I do wish he'd say something.
I love you, Jason Varitek. Like, love-love. And I'd like you to live forever. Thanks. So. Um. Wake up. Stand up for yourself! Be assertive! And make sure that "C" is still attached to your jersey. I bet he sews "C"s to his pajamas. Tek, I bet you have manly pajamas.
My feelings can best be expressed through the following song by Wakey Wakey.
So, whatever YOU decide, Tek. I will support. Because you saved me life once. Or twice. Or. Um. All the time.
Jorge Posada is a Cheap Trick.
Day four of crutches.
I think it's starting to get to me.
Oh. Maybe that's the Cheap Trick on repeat.
Girl's gotta dance, people. Even if it's only inside her head.
You know what sucks about not being able to walk? Watching other people walk.
And hearing people bragging ABOUT walking.
Then again, some people brag more than others, BOBBY VALENTINE.
"I did backflips," said Bobby Valentine."
Wow, Bobby. Wow. A little insensitive, don't you think?
Meanwhile, in the nation, talk's up about the possibility of Ryan Madson wearing a "B."
Madson, 31, is coming off the best season of his career. In his first full season as a closer, he went 4-2 with a 2.37 ERA and 32 saves for the Phillies.
I think I'd rather have Papelbon. But sure. Okay. Let's take him from the Phillies.
Other people (Not just me!) are calling the Red Sox super boring this off-season…
DODGING (hah! a pun! a pun!) Joe Torre. Carlos Silva. Jason Varitek. And other news to whimsy your Wednesday.
Joe Torre is NO LONGER AT MLB! Why? Because he wants to be George Steinbrenner when he grows up.
Sorry, Bud Selig. You're going to have to find another sleepover pal to play Truth or Dare with on those long, lonely nights… you could always hire a friend. You can afford it.
Joe Torre resigns from MLB!
And there was much rejoicing.
But I don't know if they're rejoicing in LA. Of course, I do think I heard a chorus of Well-it-couldn't-be-worse-than-McCourt. A catchy tune, that one…
Joe Torre resigned his executive position at Major League Baseball on Wednesday to join with Los Angeles developer Rick Caruso in bidding to buy the Dodgers.
You'll recall he stuck it to NY by managing the Dodgers in 08- a role he won't be returning to…
And NY stuck it to him in a… well… we don't have to go down that awkward memory trip again.
And the Sox could be hoping newly signed Carlos Silva hulks into a badass…
Last January, the Yankees signed Colon to a minor league contract. The one-time Red Sox starter made New York's roster in spring training, and for the bargain price of a $900,000 base salary, the 38-year-old right-hander made 26 starts, logged 1641⁄3 innings and posted a 4.00 ERA.
Nick Cafardo reports we're still interested in Roy Oswalt, Hiroki Kuroda, and Joe Saunders- but not their price tags.
…the price tags on them are not compatible with their budget restraints for the 2012 season.
But Nick Cafardo gets nothing from me until his other prediction comes true- the one about Jason Varitek.
While there's lots of Tekky speculation- nothing is coming from the actual RED SOX- a point gracefully pointed out today by MassLive.
Maybe the Red Sox are formulating a creative plan for Varitek to return in some non-playing role but stay in shape, just in case.
If it's anything else, they are not being polite by stringing Varitek along.
If the Sox hired Varitek as a coach or advisor, but told him to stay in shape in case an emergency need for a catcher occurred, I could see the logic.
Let's do that.
In other news… Snowpocalypse averted in Boone, North Carolina.
And I get to write about basketball Friday. The new guy (UNC-Chapel Hill fan/musician. Let's call him "Sweaters." Yes. Because he wears sweaters.) is big into basketball. So, I guess this will just give me an excuse to nab a couple study sessions. Is it tacky to bring wine?
Tek will save us from the Snownados. Tek will save us all.
Snow. Youkilis. And Tek. But there's so much snow, guys. SO. MUCH. SNOW. It's 11 degrees. ELEVEN. That's significant, Spinal Tap fans. So I'm distracted. Bear with me. You know. Polar bears have a lot of fur. I need a new electric blanket. Or an electric coat. Do they have electric coats?
My thoughts on life today can best be expressed in this clip from Gilmore Girls. That's right. Gilmore Girls.
There are SNOWNADOS. Did you know that?
They come at you with a frigid, frigid cruelty. Barreling at your car and making you cry on the way to work.
I fishtailed ALLLLLLL the way to work today in a 2009, hatchback version of this.
I hate snow so much that I updated the "about me" page to reflect this intense, intense sensation.
I hate snow. And I hate snow drivers.
The geniuses that the North Carolina mountains produce decided it would be a good idea to keep passing on my left. I mean, I 360-ed twice. But sure. I'm sure I'll miss you, giant jackass SUV with your stupid 4wd and your stupid, stupid, stupid snow tires.
That's just showing OFF.
The Chevy that can't is begggggging me not to move to Mass. And I think God is concurring, what with his snow vomit of discouragement. Seriously. It's been snow vomiting alllllll day. And I have to drive 15 mile to get home. And I hate-hate-hate-hate-hate-hate-hate-hate-hate weather.
So I'm sitting here, at the office my boss encouraged me to leave (because all of a sudden we're concerned about my safety. Can't afford orange traffic vests, folks.)
Procrastinating. I think I just saw Mrs. Gulch fly by. She sure looks cold.
I need a coat with a zipper.
Oh! And boots.
I had an accident with my yak tracks today. I don't want to talk about it.
In Red Sox news, I am not the only one who appreciates Kevin Youkilis today. Take time out of your snowy schedules to read these wise, wise, wise words posted on redsox.com today.
When Youkilis is healthy, he might be the most valuable piece in Boston's batting order. He wears down pitchers and also comes up with substantial production. I've heard Youkilis is having a very good winter of training, and the hope is that he can avoid the late-season breakdowns of the past two years. I don't think it's a coincidence that the Red Sox missed the postseason both years that Youkilis missed signficant time late in the season.
I took the liberty of bolding the important part for you.
Doesn't sound like trade fodder to me, naysayers.
Oh god… the snow just made a noise. Seriously. I heard it through the window.
Oh god…
I think it's saying my name.
Here's some news that might melt our troubled, troubled hearts-
(Ohmygod, I heard it again. It. Is. Alive. Ohmygod. I think I saw a snowmonkey. Snowmonkeys aren't real. They're not real. They're not… Oh god, its EYES!!!! Relax, Lauren. Stay cool. Focus on Tek. Tek will protect you…)
Where was I?
"I've heard that [bring Varitek back again is] a possibility," Jon Heyman of CBS sports said.
Got that, people? JON HEYMAN. H-E-Y-M-A-N.
If Tek does not make a triumphant return, blame Nick Cafardo and JON HEYMAN for your dreams crushing.
(Oh god… it's snowing harder. Keep typing Lauren! Keep typing! Ward off the frostbite)
Jacoby Ellsbury is getting a raise…
(Oh god… the snownado has a face! It's looking at me! Oh no! It's looking at me!)
Interesting article on Dice-K and Yu Darvish… we're still looking at Kuroda… and…
I'm sorry guys. I can't keep doing this. There's something I must do…
If I don't…
If I don't…
Make it…
Just know that…
Well… I always…
You know what? Just make up something clever and tell everyone I said it, k?
We'll always have Soxsplosion. Here's looking at you, kid.
This never happens in FLORIDA.
Okay. That was SO not a squirrel.

The beginning of the 2012 Australian Open semifinal matchup between Maria Sharapova and Petra Kvitova followed a pattern that stood out. Both players held serve and traded breaks, creating an even match right from the start, and perhaps signaling what's to come.
Tied at 2-2, with each player converting their only break point chances, Sharapova took the advantage, breaking Kvitova's serve in the fifth game to take a 3-2 advantage. It was Sharapova's second shot at a break and second conversion, keeping her perfect for the match.
And yet, after the match started looking fairly even, Sharapova hit the gas pedal and put it to the floor. Quickly, the 3-2 set turned into 5-2 as Sharapova overwhelmed Kvitova and set herself up in prime position to easily take the first set.
In the eighth game, Sharapova continued her run, taking advantage of her second chance to close the second. With a bending serve, she left Kvitova flat-footed, earning the game and the set to take a 1-0 advantage, 6-2.

Hybrid Rice as a Pro-Poor Technology? Evidence from Bangladesh
AbstractWe examine the use of hybrid rice as a pro-‐poor technology for subsistence rice farmers in South Asia. Hybrids, for which seed cannot be saved, is often thought to be ill-‐suited for poor farmers. However, poor subsistence farmers may find it advantageous to produce "sticky" hybrid rice instead of generally preferred slender open pollinated varieties, even though there is little market demand for it. We use two separately estimated double hurdle models to model the decision making process of subsistence rice-‐producing households as they allocate their land and consumption bundle between hybrid and open pollinated rice varieties. We find that relatively rich households are more likely to adopt hybrid rice. However, contingent on adoption, poor households allocate a higher percentage of their land to hybrids. Moreover, we find that own-‐ produced hybrid rice consumption constitutes a higher percentage of total rice consumption for poor households than for rich households.

Is Dunkin' Brands Ready to Slurp Up Another Franchise Business?
Dunkin Brand Groups (NASDAQ:DNKN), owner of the Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins dining chains, has had a good go of it lately. The company has shown a reinvigorated energy with its new focus on Dunkin Donuts' beverage segment and its interest in moving West to crack a new market, and the Canton, Massachusetts-based company reported Thursday that sales at stores open at least a year were up 3.5 percent in the U.S. during the fourth-quarter. Same-store sales figured are considered a good indicator of a company's wealth because the metric doesn't take into account the volatility of newly opened or closed locations.
Shares of Dunkin Brands rose 3.4 percent to $48.89 at the close in New York Thursday, and they sat down 0.47 percent at $48.66 as of midday Friday. Following its earnings release, Chief Executive Officer Nigel Travis had several interesting things to say in his phone interview, but one statement that investors especially took note of was one that Bloomberg also highlighted him saying, "We could take on another business if it's a franchise business with growth. We would be extra cautious in whatever we would take on and it has to fit our mantra of a great brand with franchising potential."
Until now, investors were not in on the possibility of Dunkin' Brands buying a franchised restaurant company, and thus, the chief executive's statement Friday proved to raise some speculations, although Travis maintained that, "It's highly unlikely to be soon." With more than 18,000 locations worldwide and $256.9 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 28, Dunkin could benefit significantly from a new franchise business, but as Travis pointed out, the company would need to pinpoint the right one.

insuring vehicle for overseas shipment
Tried in vain to search the site but getting an error message each time so here is my question:
Does anybody know of a company that can provide insurance for our motorycle? We are shipping via Grimaldi on the 14th of January to Belgium and would like to insure the bike in case of problems on the passage (they had a boat capsize in 2007!).
Grimaldi will, or should be able to, arrange insurance for you. When I shipped my truck back from Dakar last year on one of Grimaldi's RoRos and it was damaged somewhere after parc fermé and unloading (apparently a pretty common outcome) when I asked them to pay up they refused saying I had no insurance and pointing to the terms and conditions-which of course were so small that anyone over 18 couldn't read them-which said there was no liability unless I could prove that damage occured whilst in their physical custody. This is of course impossible to do. When I said I didn't know insurance was available they said it was.
I realise this is too late for Brian and Marie but I would like to ask a similar question as I am trying to organise shipping the Mog from Ghana to UK in March.
Today I had an email from John Walerych at the Grimaldi office in Tilbury, UK in response to my questions about insuring the vehicle whilst in their care. His response is quoted below:
"The rate quoted is purely for freight, no insurance cover beyond normal shipping cover, we would suggest that you obtain insurance cover separately as we do not provide this serviceI am going to reply asking what exactly is covered in 'normal shipping cover' and what can be included in the 'bill of lading'
I would appreciate any further comments/info people can offer me relating to insurance and/or shipping with Grimaldi.

PANAMA, REPUBLIC OF PANAMA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/07/14 -- Thunderbird Resorts Inc. ("Thunderbird" or "Group") (EURONEXT:TBIRD) (FRANKFURT:4TR) reports the following revenues for February 2014. For a more detailed analysis of February 2014 revenue, please visit www.thunderbirdresorts.com and click on "February 2014 Revenue Report - Analysis" located on the home page under "News and Press Releases".
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thunderbird Resorts Inc. - Group- wide sales results by country February February Year-over-year (unaudited, in millions)(1) 2014 2013 increase/(decrease) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peru(2) $2.30 $2.29 0.44% Costa Rica(3)(4) 1.05 1.08 -2.78% Nicaragua 1.00 1.07 -6.54% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Consolidated Operating Revenues $4.35 $4.44 -2.03% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Revenues reported are based on monthly average exchange rates, report same store revenues and are in USD millions. (2) 2014 and 2013 revenues consist of all gaming revenue in the country plus revenue from our fully-owned Fiesta Hotel and management fees for the Thunderbird Hotel - Pardo, Thunderbird Hotel - Carrera and Thunderbird Hotel - El Pueblo, which are owned by third parties. (3) Effective January 1, 2013, IFRS 11 changed the way that joint ventures are accounted for whereby proportional consolidation is no longer allowed and equity accounting should be applied to joint ventures. Until further notice and for the convenience of the reader and for the illustrative purposes of this monthly revenue report, the Group has elected to continue to show the Costa Rican joint venture proportional revenues, which vary from the way that the Group accounts for these revenues in our Interim and Annual Financial Statements. (4) In October 2013, we reduced 290 gaming positions in Costa Rica that cost more to maintain on the floor (because of per position gaming taxes) than their respective revenue. As a result, period revenue has dropped, but should be reflected in enhanced EBITDA from the related properties.
We are an international provider of branded casino and hospitality services, focused on markets in Latin America. Our mission is to "create extraordinary experiences for our guests." Additional information about the Group is available on its Website at www.thunderbirdresorts.com.
Cautionary Notice: This release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the securities laws and regulations of various international, federal, and state jurisdictions. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included herein, including without limitation, statements regarding potential revenue and future plans and objectives of the Group are forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. There can be no assurances that such statements will prove to be accurate and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Group's forward-looking statements include competitive pressures, unfavorable changes in regulatory structures, and general risks associated with business, all of which are disclosed under the heading "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in the Group's documents filed from time-to-time with the AFM and other regulatory authorities.

3 years ago I needed to see a doctor for my asthma (the only over the counter med. was taken off the shelves) I asked him about a sore that was above my left eye, and he said not to worry. I saw him two more times in 1 and a half years and each time I asked him about the recurring sore. Each time he said not to worry about it, even using what looked like a black light on it. He assured me it was not cancer. I went to this clinic because my insurance ran out, and they offered a sliding fee scale to pay. 2mos later, with new insurance, I went to my regular doctor for a checkup. My doctor noticed the sore and was concerned that it was squamous cell and ordered a biopsy. It was positive. For almost 3years, this grew very large and the resulting surgery was painful. More details, no space...
yes, get an attorney to review the case.
Consult with a medical malpractice lawyer immediately. Don't go it alone. Be aware that Wisconsin has a statute of limitations for medical malpractice cases. If the case is not filed in time, your claims could be barred. So, consult with a local medical malpractice lawyer immediately so that you can determine the statute of limitations and for help in evaluating your case. Good luck.
The time to file a claim with the court is very short in WI. You should consult with a WI medical negligence attorney immediately. I believe the statute is 3 years from the date of the negligence or one year from the date the negligence was reasonably discovered whatever is longer. YOu do not have any time to delay.
You may have a claim for failing to timely diagnose your condition. A lawyer interested in investigating the claim will gather your medical records and have them reviewed by a medical expert who will be asked to determine if the care you received fell below the standard of care and if so, whether the delay made a difference in your condition/outcome.
You better hurry so you don't blow the statute.
A Wisconsin attorney will need to give you advice regarding your deadline to file suit and whether it's passed. On the medicine: if your overall prognosis is not terminal, and hopefully it isn't, then you probably wouldn't have a viable medical negligence case. Why? The treatment you received (surgical removal of the lesion) wasn't very much different from what you would have received even with prompt recognition of the cancer many months or even years ago. Maybe the surgery was a little more extensive, maybe the recovery a few days longer. But the difference would be negligible in terms of "burden of proof" and "damages" in a lawsuit. However, if your overall prognosis is less than 50% surgical rate because of the delay in diagnosis and treatment...then the delay has caused a demonstrably different damage to you, obviously.
I fear that one of the difficulties you will face is the lack of documentation by the provider who missed it. I agree that you should talk to a local lawyer and make sure that you get follow up treatment.

The Nintendo 3DS, which has received retail price points between £219 and £230 today, is definitely "value for money", Nintendo UK's told CVG.
Speaking at its 3DS event in Amsterdam tonight, Nintendo UK boss David Yarnton and UK marketing manager James Honeywell insisted that once gamers get the device in their hands, they'll realise it does a lot more than 3D visuals.
"Most definitely [it's worth the money]," Yarnton told CVG. "When you look at what it does compared to anything else on the market and beyond as far as not just gaming... once people get their hands on it it's is great value because it doesn't do just what they'd expect from traditional gaming."
He added: "A lot of the other features that are coming through with it as an entertainment device as well as just gaming - the downloadable content from people like Sky and Eurosport and those sorts of things... with 3D without glasses there's nothing else on the market at that sort of price."
Marketing man Honeywell said a factor gamers will benefit from with the £219 - £230 tag is the extensive development kit Nintendo's sent out to studios.
"Even just thinking about 3D in itself there's so much functionality even beyond that. I think it's one of the most complete packages we've ever done," he said.
"Laurent [Fischer] was on stage earlier saying we've given this really broad toolkit to developers - a broader toolkit than probably anyone's ever given with any console - and those things obviously come at a price.
"I think we feel confident that people will feel that they get value for money from it and they will feel that it's truly a new experience. I really suggest that everyone comes down and has a go - find one of our events and experience it yourself."
This afternoon Nintendo announced a March 25 UK release date for the 3DS.

USU Study Reveals How Prolonged Texas Drought Happened
Thursday, May. 29, 2014
Although there has been increased focus on the drought in California, Texas is also in dire need of water as the state enters extreme drought conditions for the fourth year. This is the drought map for May 2014. (Map from the U.S. Drought Monitor)
The map from May 2011.
Utah State University climate researchers recently found that spring rain that usually falls over Texas and Oklahoma has now shifted to the Midwest, a likely cause of the prolonged drought in Texas.
The study, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, was led by researchers Daniel Barandiaran, a doctoral candidate in USU's climate program, Simon Wang, USU climate assistant professor and Kyle Hilburn, a satellite data expert based in California.
Barandiaran noted that while there has been a large focus on California's large-scale drought, Texas is also in dire need of water as the state enters into extreme dry conditions for the fourth year since 2011's record drought. Currently, 90 percent of Texas has been consumed by drought and 40 percent is experiencing extreme drought conditions.
"The Midwest is now getting the rain that used to belong to Texas and Oklahoma because of increased winds," he said. "The increased winds may be good news for wind power in Texas, but it is bad news for rain."
A possible reason for these extremely dry conditions may be because of a shift in spring rain that once centered over Texas and Oklahoma, the researchers found. Normally thunderstorms over these states are fed by low, but strong winds called the low-level jet. This jet moves large amounts of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico up to the Southern Plains where they release the moisture. This process is vital to the South's growing season as the water from thunderstorms in April, May and June provides moisture to help sustain crops through the hot summer months.
However, the researchers found that since 1979, the low-level jet has been getting stronger as a result of combined greenhouse gases and natural variability. This causes stronger winds that travel further north and east causing the spring rain to fall on the Midwest, missing Texas.
With this information, the researchers suggested that Southern states prepare for more frequent drought, including this year, in dealing with their crops and growing seasons.

The Selects posted a 2-1 record in Pool B play, falling 47-46 at the hands of the Whitby Wildcats. By the time the teams met again in the final on Sunday afternoon, it was a vastly different story as Sudbury bounced Whitby 46-27, walking away with the hardware.
The locals started strong, kicking off the tournament with a 47-30 win over the MYAA (Mississauga) Jaguars, before falling to 1-1 with their loss to the Wildcats.
Undeterred, the northern lads earned a berth in the semifinals, outscoring the Centre Wellington Celtics 50-38. Now on a roll, the Selects maintained their momentum with a 45-32 victory over the London Ramblers, setting the stage for a rematch with Whitby.
The Sudbury crew received solid contribution across the roster, with the scoring parade for the weekend led by the likes of Abraham Soumahoro (55 pts), Brennan LaPierre (46), Liam LaPierre (43), Eric Senechal (27) and Miguel Poulin (14).
The 2013-2014 edition of the Sudbury Selects bantams includes Julien Berthiaume, Miguel Poulin, Anthony Kenny, Brennan LaPierre, Liam LaPierre, Carter Smrke, Cédric Lessard, Jordan Maguire, Abraham Soumahoro, Eric Senechal and Ryan Badger.
The team staff includes coaches Megan Chute, Dwayne Maguire and Alison Bujold. The team now continues their preparation towards the Basketball Ontario championships in the next few weeks.
