Madison Saracen Factory Race Team - National Championships : Innerleithen
The lack of publicity on the normal outlets is near criminal - especially when we have world class podium talent here - i mean we even have a prime time cycle tv show on terrestrial TV and not a mention of this going down at all (although its a massive JOKE of a show !!!! - watch it - i dare you ITV 4) - i am not expecting LIVE broadcast or anything but something .. anything would have been nice congrats to all that took part and you deserve more coverage and praise than you are given -

Pinkbike Poll: Do You Feel Influenced by the Pros?
To me, alot of the time its about keeping your name/brand alive and in peoples minds, its not about looking at the latest winner of an event and suddenly going and purchasing the tires they used or the frame etc - brands have to keep a public profile and be seen to support riders as its proof that they make good gear (well, it should be proof but smokes and mirrors ... ) As for Coke OMFG - every ad they have ever done has turned me off more and more and more, Coke - how the FCUK did that ever take off, its one .. THE most disgusting things on the damn planet, nearly as bad as they cheesy ass adverts. Just to prove my wonderful naivety - i only found all this action sport stuff recently and didn't even know that Red Bull and Monster etc were DRINKS, i just thought they were something to do with events management or a club/organization (as they were plastered everywhere) like UCI etc - i have since tried a red bull and as far as i care they can join coke in the "no one should have to ever suffer this crap" department - which is a shame as i do want to support the work they do, just not through that crap - films and stuff maybe, not drinks!

Pinkbike Poll: What Style of Grip Do You Prefer?
been using ODI YETI lock ons for a year now, they are sticky as hell and the deep cut design creates great grip to go along with the tacky rubber used - mine are pretty much flat now so time for newbies. http://www.odigrips.com/yetilock-ongrips130mm.aspx dot be put off by the chunky design, they are so soft your hands and grips just melt into one and they grip like spiderman

congrats to all - but - i cant get into to this "speed and style" - tried last year to watch it and again just now - not happening - seems very far from "stylish " to me. for tricks ill wait for the slope style comp and the whip off (which has happened and looks pretty slick .. and stylish) and i would prefer this if they just raced - top to bottom - that would be exciting, the tricks get in the way anyway, as they say .. meh .. ill wait for the big stuff at the weekend

Wolf Amongst The Sheep - Story About Your Neighbour's $20,000 Problem With Stolen Bikes
How come multiple accounts are allowed tobe set up using the same IP - this can be checked and maybe should be implemented on PB - there may be justified reasons - a lost account password etc etc but then a delay and a check will have to be done when matches are found, but new registrations and duplicate IP addresses need to be handled in some way - its not a total barrier but it takes away 1 route for these scummy bastards!!

1. Introduction to Shortleaf Pine
The shortleaf pine tree (Pinus echinata) is one of four southern yellow pines native to southeastern United States. Shortleaf pine is also called shortleaf yellow, southern yellow, oldfield, shortstraw, or Arkansas soft pine. Shortleaf pine frequently hybridizes naturally with Loblolly Pine and Pitch Pine where their ranges intersect. Artificial hybrids have been produced with shortleaf pine and are of special interest because they offer the opportunity to combine specific qualities of individual species.

Carrie Underwood, Matchbox 20 Tour Tickets on Sale Now at TicketProcess
Matchbox 20 is currently in rehearsals for a North American tour that will visit a number of large yet often overlooked cities such as Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Augusta, Maine and Uncasville, Connecticut during February and March of next year. The tour will begin at Majestic Theatre San Antonio on the evening of Wednesday, January 30th.
TicketProcess.com currently has tickets to each of these Matchbox 20 concerts, as well as a bevy of tickets to the Carrie Underwood Blown Away tour, which is already going full steam and will visit several major North American cities over the next few months.
Underwood has promised her fans that the Blown Away Tour will be the biggest and best live performance ever, and the mature and established 29-year-old has experienced an incredible evolution since appearing on American Idol as a baby faced farm girl in 2005. She is now capable of selling out the largest musical venues in the world, and many of them will be visited in the very near future. TicketProcess.com has made a habit out of providing the general public with the most exclusive Carrie Underwood concert tickets for incredibly low prices.
Underwood's rise to fame in recent years has coincided with a large hiatus from Matchbox 20. The band rose to fame in late 1990s after quickly forming in Orlando and splashing on the scene with their debut album entitled Yourself or Someone Like You, which went diamond in America and platinum in several other countries. Matchbox 20 is one of a long list of bands that rose to fame toward the end of the last century only to take a large break at the beginning of this one before reuniting for a massive tour where they will perform in front of throngs of thankful fans all over North America. Matchbox 20 concert tickets have always been popular, and the upcoming tour is no exception.
Anyone in the market for Carrie Underwood tickets or Matchbox 20 tickets would be wise to pay a visit to TicketProcess.com, the undisputed online ticket exchange giant. The popular and reputable website has established a bevy of reliable and exclusive connections which allow them to offer up large quantities of exclusive concert tickets such as Carrie Underwood concert tickets and Matchbox 20 tickets for prices that simply cannot be found anywhere else.

The Man with the Golden Armby Nelson Algren
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The Man with the Golden Arm is Nelson Algren's most powerful and enduring work. On the 50th anniversary of its publication in November 1949, for which Algren was honored with the first National Book Award (which he received from none other than Eleanor Roosevelt at a ceremony in March 1950), Seven Stories is proud to release the first critical edition of an Algren work.
The Man with the Golden Arm is the classic American novel of the post-war period. Algren himself had wanted this relentlessly dark novel to be titled "Night Without Mercy," although he finally relented and allowed his publisher, Doubleday, to use their preferred title. Algren would name his cat Doubleday. Special contributions by Russell Banks, Bettina Drew, James R. Giles, Carlo Rotella, William Savage, Lee Stringer, Studs Terkel, Kurt Vonnegut, and others. "The finest American novel published since the war."-Washington Post Book World "A true novelist's triumph." TimestrongChicago Sun Times/em

Do, Dump or Marry? Jonathan Rhys Meyers
by POPSUGAR Sex & Culture 45 Reactions 10 Shares Print
So Jonathan Rhys Meyers got into a little hot water over the weekend. It appears he had too much to drink while waiting for a flight out of Paris and began brawling with waiters, which was followed by his arrest. The actor, who was in Match Point and Velvet Goldmine, seems a little intense for my tastes, but when he's not giving the hypnotic stare from hell, he's quite handsome. Do, dump, or marry?

It's a don't. He is definitely forgotten how to care of himself. Onscreen he looks dashing, great looking man because that is how director, make up artist make it look. He is a talented actor that it refelects on tv. But, to many XXxx's for me. He smokes, the goatie going on..gotta go, doesn't look attractive in real life without all customes. The shoes way too long, doesn't seems to be the right shoes for him. He constantly drinks. He is not like James Dean, Christian Bale((ooh, soo Christian Bale) got the total package very serious about his acting. Hence the very nice looking bod. On the other hand Rhys Meyers only taking acting because it's the only way to keep him away from trouble. Appearantly that is not working. He is starting to look used for me. From drinking, smoking in do time his face will turn out to be 45!! he should look younger for his age..What the hell happened!!? nope.. **DEFINITELY A DUMP**

When we learn to present naked, we reach our audiences by communicating the essence of the message, stripping away all that is unnecessary and embracing the ideas of simplicity, clarity, honesty, integrity, and passion.

Gregory Ruf
Professor Ruf, Associate Professor
I am a socio-cultural anthropologist with interests that lie at the intersections of culture, history, and ecology, especially the theoretical and methodological issues relating to ethnography. A former Fulbright Research Scholar, I have lived and worked for several years in rural China, mostly in Sichuan and Yunnan.
Raised in upstate New York, I attended SUNY Cortland as an undergraduate and spent a very formative junior year abroad as an exchange student in China. I did my graduate training in 'four-field' anthropology at Columbia University, followed by a year at Harvard's Fairbank Center for East Asian Research on a postdoctoral fellowship. I taught anthropology for several years at Wellesley College, and at Stony Brook I hold a joint appointment with the departments of Cultural Analysis and Theory (CAT), Asian and Asian American Studies (AAS), and Anthropology (ANT). My service at Stony Brook has included terms as inaugural Faculty Director of the Community Service Learning Program, as inaugural Undergraduate Program Director in Asian & Asian American Studies, and as Director of the China Studies program.
Recipient of the SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching, I have a real passion for education. In CAT, I offer courses on Social & Cultural Theory as well as on Ethnographic Methods and Writing. I also teach a variety of highly acclaimed courses on China through the AAS department (including Ancient China; Family, Marriage, and Kinship in China; Ethnicity and Ecology in China; Environmental History in China; and Revolutionary China).
My first book, Cadres and Kin: Making a Socialist Village in West China, 1921-91 (Stanford, 1998), explored the political economy of kinship and the role of social organization and gender in the formation of a rural community in Sichuan. I am currently finishing work on a new book, focused on a rural market town, that examines the changing tenor of relations between city and countryside in China's modern development. My new research interests have moved toward environmental history and the cultural ecology of water, both within and beyond China.
More broadly speaking, I have a deep interest in human evolution, the interface of biology and culture, the Neolithic Revolution, early Bronze Age states, and ancient Chinese history and philosophy. My recreational reading tends to concentrate on historical fiction, maritime history, tall ships, and Tolkien. I enjoy creative writing, cooking, kayaking, sailing, and acting in local community theatre productions of the Marion Art Center.
Selected Publications:
• Cadres & Kin: Making a Socialist Village in West China, 1921-91 (Stanford University, 1998)
• "Collective Enterprise and Property Rights in a Sichuan Village: The Rise and Decline of Managerial Corporatism," in Oi & Walder (eds.), Property Rights and Economic Reform in China (Stanford University, 1999)

3.95/5 rDev +11.9%
Mild smoke, softly complex array of spices. Light fruity esters. Grainy sweet maltiness
Light Grainy malt, moderately bright herbal and floral spices with a soft bacony smoke all over a balanced sweetness. Light fruitiness. Light hop bitterness. Grainy malt and herbal spice dominate the aftertaste.
Medium light body, medium carbonation. Very crisp
This is oddly welcoming. While the flavors are overall, moderately light, the complexities make it quite exciting.

Saturated orange color, bright clarity, an inch of white foam on top. Lasting retention with drippy lace, and a sticky collar around the edges.
Savory aroma of mild smoke and light spices, the initial whiff of yeast from the bottle was a little jarring, but as it warmed in the glass it opened up a lot.
Flavors of mild smoke, sage, very light caraway and rosemary, a mild bitterness in the aftertaste and a hint of honeyed malt. Dry finish. Fairly light bodied, not a heavy or sweet brew, emphasis is on the smoked malt and added spices. Overall it's an interesting combination, though somewhat mild overall. A little more smoke or caraway would be welcome in the next batch...

Reading the description, one may think this will be a dark brew. It's not. The Hunter gets Captured by the Game is a clear amber beer with a minimal head due to the growler being popped yesterday.
The nose is strong and spicy from the herbs. Pepper and Bay leaf, Rosemary and Caraway combine for an interesting and unique aroma.
The taste is slightly smokey with a burst of of full flavor that is herbal, floral, spicy with a pepper bite. The Bay leaf and caraway are pronounced but the Rosemary is less discernible. It's flavor is much different brewed in a beer. This beer is complex and the herb flavors combine into a deliciously complex blend. The herbal/floral flavors last long then transition to a spicy, crisp ending.
Overall I enjoyed this one. It is a nice change of pace and a perfect winter offering. Unique, complex, one of a kind. I loved Half Acre's Sunday in Saigon brewed with Thai Basil so the herbal experiments are very good so far. Keep on experimenting Half Acre!

On-tap at the Half Acre Taproom. Served in a 5oz taster glass.
A - White foam settles to a partial cap, thick collar, and plenty of lacing. Lightly hazed dark orange body.
S - A mix of smoke, toasted caraway seeds, and rosemary; reminds me of a savory broth or rosemary chicken a bit.
T - The taste reveals a bit more of the base beer, with bready malts, a bit of smoke, light doughy sweetness, and an finish with the aforementioned spices. The combination of bready malts and caraway evokes rye bread, although I'm not sure if there's any rye malt actually in here.
M - Smooth, medium body, pleasant carbonation, a lightly dry and clean finish, and no discernible alcohol.
D - This was alright, but it's a bit out there. Successful at what it sets out to do (and would probably be killer for cooking with), but it's not something I could drink in large quantities. If you like spiced and/or smoked beers give it a shot.

November 28, 2013 Updated Nov 28, 2013 at 7:34 PM CDT
PEORIA, Ill. -- At the corner of State and Water, you'll find "The Creek."
It's a five-month old eatery with a chic décor and ready to do its part to revitalize downtown Peoria.
"Its really laid back," said customer Corrinna Markland. "It's very bright with the windows and it still has the dark undertones with the lanterns and stuff."
"It's more hip, kind of for the young people I guess you could say," said Brandon Sassaman, customer.
But there's something for all ages.
The lunch menu is full custom salads and sandwiches, including a lobster roll.
And there's a rotating lunch buffet throughout the week. On this particular day, it's Wrap Wednesday.
For dinner, customers can enjoy tapas-style dining, or smaller portions for a lower price you can share with friends.
"Our most popular dishes for dinner our the stuffed prawns, ahi tuna," said Nam Do, the director of operations. "And for people who don't like seafood as much, will have our beef puff pastry."
Chief Meteorologist Chuck Collins joined me for this feast.
We both hit up the salad bar, with fresh toppings such as mushrooms, shrimp and black bean corn salsa.
Chuck wasn't chicken about ordering up his favorite sandwich, the turkey club.
The classic is double-stacked with bacon, pesto mayo, ham, cheese, tomato and lettuce. No problem gobbling that up that flavor.
I took advantage of the Wrap Wednesday lunch buffet.
With five meats to choose from, I stuffed it with brisket, lettuce, tomato, salsa and cheese.
It was the combo just right for my appetite.
Our total came to $17.10 plus tip.
The Creek
100 State Street Peoria, IL
Lunch: 11am - 3pm
Dinner: 5pm - 10pm

Tragedies In Open Water Swimming
21 of the open water swimming deaths occurred in what is generally considered to be warm water temperatures (over 27 degrees C). A majority of these deaths have occurred on land once the athlete is rescued; a few have occurred after the athlete stopped swimming at the finish and stood up on shore. The other deaths included athletes who have been killed due to a broken back caused by high surf, getting pinned under a boat, getting run over by a boat and other unconfirmed reasons.
It is highly likely that there have been other deaths among the open water swimming events around the world, but there is no organization that has the resources or mission to compile definitive information on safety in open water swimming competitions. Open Water Source compiled this information as an independent initiative (since 1999) as part of its coaching knowledge database. "There is always inherent risk in venturing out into the open water," said Steven Munatones of Open Water Source. "But as race organizers and responsible people learn more about the best practices in the sport and learn from each other, the sport will be enhanced and made safer for a broader range of individuals."
At the 2012 Global Open Water Swimming Conference, there are a variety of safety-related issues that will be discussed as well as additional exploration of how to enhance safety in the growing open water swimming world.
1. The strong belief that swimmers should be able to swim to their potential at their own risk. What this effectively means is that swimmers are, in some cases, encouraged to swim beyond their fundamental abilities. Discussion on the importance of a swimmer's condition and pace (as measured by a stroke-per-minute count) and how to effectively identify a distressed swimmer will be discussed by a panel of experienced open water swimming luminaries. "When a swimmer's stroke count start to fall significantly, let's say from 70 to 55 strokes per minute, there are certain physiological reasons for this and none of them are good," postulated Munatones. "When a swimmer's stroke count falls significantly, it is time for their coach to carefully monitor their condition through a variety of well-established means which will be discussed at the Conference. My mentor, Penny Dean who was the long-time coach of USA national team and English Channel and Catalina Channel record holder who will be on the panel, was a stickler for the spm count."
2. A preliminary report by a global swimming association has explored the possibility that swims in water as high as 32°C are not harmful.
3. The average age of open water swimmers is increasing as the number of successful older swimmers is increasing. What this means is that under-trained and overweight athletes are getting into the sport with the belief they are prepared...but they are not.
4. There is a growing proliferation of jellyfish in the world and a concurrent growing number of swimmers in open bodies of water and a decreasing number of sharks. While most people are most afraid and concerned with sharks, it is the jellyfish that are causing most problems with open water swimmers. As the number of encounters between swimmers and jellyfish grow, there will be some swimmers who have severe systemic reactions. Are coaches, lifeguards and crews prepared for these reactions? Some are, many are not.
For more information on what will be discussed at the Conference regarding safety, visit here and here.
These will be some of the open water swimming safety issues raised at the 2012 Global Open Water Swimming Conference on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California on September 21-22 where over 4 dozen luminaries and race directors around the world will gather.
• How far should a swimmer, parent, coach, race director, pilot or crew member go in ensuring safety in the open water?
• How far do others go in ensuring safety in solo swims, relays, triathlons, open water swims and channel crossings?
• How far are swimmers willing to push themselves in solo swims, relays, triathlons, open water swims and channel crossings?
• At what point does a coach, pilot or crew member tell an athlete that (a) they should not start a swim, (b) they should delay a swim, or (c) they should call it a day?
• What protocols and procedures are put in place when extremes in water temperature and conditions present themselves?
• How does and should a race director postpone or cancel a race?
• What should race directors and governing bodies do when a tragedy occurs in a sanctioned race?
• What should race directors and governing bodies do when a tragedy occurs in a non-sanctioned race?
• What are the statistics of accidents and deaths in open water swimming events around the world?
• What requirements and recommendations are in place for channel swims in established bodies of water? What about bodies of water where there is no governing body?
• What kind of products really work with jellyfish stings, especially with box jellyfish and Portuguese man o war? How are these products applied before, during and after the swim?
• What medical equipment is used and recommended at an open water swim?
• What's a Shark Shield, Electronic Shark Defense System, MySwimIt, Swim Safety Device or prop guard?
• How are glow sticks applied? What colors are best to use?
• What are the advantages of a kayak vs. a paddleboard?
• Why should a coach have a whistle?
• How should crew members or an open water swimming coach be selected?
• How have some close calls been averted?
• What happens when hundreds or thousands of athletes are in the open water at the same time?
• Why is stroke per minute data important?
• Sharks: what are their behavior patterns? What basic information should swimmers, coaches, race directors, parents and administrators know about them?

2014 Global Open Water Swimming Conference
Courtesy of WOWSA, Huntington Beach, California.
The Global Open Water Swimming Conference is a conference on the sport of open water swimming, marathon swimming and swimming during triathlons and multi-sport endurance events.
The conference which has been attended by enthusiasts and luminaries from 6 continents, is devoted to providing information about the latest trends, race tactics, training techniques, equipment, psychological preparation, race organization and safety practices used in the sports of open water swimming, marathon swimming and triathlons.
The conference's mission is to provide opportunities to listen and meet many of the world's most foremost experts in open water swimming, and to meet and discuss the sport among swimmers, coaches, administrators, event organizers, sponsors, vendors, officials, escort pilots, and volunteers from kayakers to safety personnel.
Dozens of presentations at the 2014 Conference at the Mount Stuart House cover numerous aspects of the vast and growing world of open water swimming where attendees can learn and share the latest trends, race tactics, training modalities, swimming techniques, equipment, race organization, logistics, operations, and safety practices for open water swimming as a solo swimmer, competitive athlete, fitness swimmer, masters swimmer, triathlete, multi-sport athlete, administrator, race promoter, sponsor or referee.
The conference was first held in Long Beach, California as part of the 2010 USA Swimming National Open Water Swimming Championships. It has since been held on the Queen Mary in California, at Columbia University and the United Nations in New York City, and in Cork, Ireland. This year in September, it comes to another iconic location, the Mount Stuart House on the Isle of Bute in Scotland.
"The Global Open Water Swimming Conference was started due to the desire and need for athletes, coaches, referees, administrators, race directors, promoters and sponsors from around the world to share, collect and learn information about the growing sports of open water swimming, marathon swimming and triathlons," said founder Steven Munatones. "Other swimming conferences usually offering nothing on open water swimming or perhaps a speech or two, but we thought open water swimming deserves its own global conference. It is great that the community shares its information via the online social network, but there is nothing like meeting other open water swimming enthusiasts face-to-face and talking about the sport from morning to night."
Speakers at the conference include English Channel swimmers, ice swimmers, record holders, renowned coaches, world champions, professional marathon swimmers, renowned race directors, officials and administrators from the Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania.
"Because the audience is passionate and educated about the sport and its finest practitioners, the Global Open Water Swimming Conference is also the location of the induction ceremonies for the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame and the annual WOWSA Awards that recognize the World Open Water Swimming Man of the Year, the World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year, the World Open Water Swimming Performance of the Year, and the World Open Water Swimming Offering of the Year. Special Lifetime Achievement Awards are also occasionally presented to individuals who have made significant contributions to the sport over their career."

2014 Open Water Swimming Almanac
An Almanac for Open Water SwimmingAn almanac is essentially a body of knowledge which is so complete that it enables people in different fields to make predictions about the future of their respective industries.
This, for example, was the purpose of the traditional farmers almanacs. It enabled farmers to determine as accurately as possible which crops to plant for the greatest harvests in a given year.
But the farmers almanac was just one example among many.
There are, of course, many different kinds of almanacs.
In fact, there is even one for open water swimming...
Preview the Open Water Swimming Almanac:
The trends are very clear.
The tide is rising for open water swimming.

Spring 2014 End of Season TournamentSubmitted by ebpl on Wed, 07/09/2014 - 19:58
On July 3, 2014 EBP had the end-of-season tournament. Players who had shown up at least 5 times during the season were eligible, and the 2 lowest scores were dropped from everyone's point totals (absent days count as "zeroes"). The format consisted of single elimination per opponent; matches were best of 3 games against that opponent. So in other words, whoever wins those set of games moves on to the next round and the loser is eliminated. Here are the brackets to track the results of the tournament. Dan did very well, winning the final match and thus reinforcing his first place spot that he was at when going in to the tournament. In 2 weeks (after California Extreme), the new season will start and we'll do it all over again!

Like if you look at a large engine (especially closed source ones) like Unity and then decide that you want to use your own Sound system it is very fiddly because Unity generally doesn't like the user loading in their own assets directly rather than going through their resources system. Or if you wanted to use System.Windows.Forms, Unity makes it generally impossible.
My typical setup is:
freeglut (Yes, I am a Glut lover)
libwavefront_ext (custom animation system)
tritri.c (A fast triangle-triangle intersect test by Tomas Moller)
So whilst this isn't a full engine, I can generally do anything, and it also means I can use task specific libraries / technologies when I need to (like ode physics, android NDK, OpenCL etc...)
If a platform doesn't support one of the above libraries, it is pretty trivial to just swap it out (using ifdefs). So I find this solution to be the most portable.
I see engines as being of two types: hobby engines that were designed to be more like game-making 'kits', a stand-alone product whose developer's sole intention is to maximize profits by creating something that appeals to a greater audience of people that just want to make games (non-coders) without knowing anything...Yes this is the latest trend to turn would be developers into consumers. I feel that a lot of people are missing out on useful experience and education by misusing tools like Unity without really knowing what is happening. (Using it more like Microsoft Office than a development tool).
I occasionally do some programming lectures at university and was shocked when the students were starting to learn Unity for one of their units!
Nowerdays the students from UNIX system programming units can make better (portable) games than those on Entertainment Media (Games) Development courses.

Anau Review
Anau is almost directly opposite Vaitape on the east coast, although you have to go around the island to get there. Here you'll get a glimpse of authentic Polynesian life. There's one small church with a steeple and a few shops. The lagoon is very narrow at this section, as Motu Piti Anau is only a mile away. There's a great view of Mt. Otemanu from the town.

Kratz helps Indians to victory over Rochester
Designated hitter Erik Kratz, second baseman Neil Walker and center fielder Kevin Melillo combined to go 10-for-13 with four runs and five RBI as the Indianapolis Indians powered past the Rochester Red Wings 8-3 in the series finale on Thursday afternoon at Victory Field.
With the win, the Indians improve to 19-15 on the season, while the loss drops the Red Wings record to 14-20. With the victory, Indianapolis takes the series 3-1 over Rochester and has now posted a 14-5 record over its last 19 games.
The Indianapolis offense exploded in the series finale as all but one batter reached base, all but two scored a run and all but two drove in at least one run. The Indians collected 14 total hits, including five doubles and two home runs, and were able to plate seven runs over the fifth, sixth and seventh frames
Kratz jump started the afternoon for the Tribe when he lifted a sacrifice fly in the second inning to bring home RF Brandon Jones, who led off the frame with a double and moved to third on a balks by Rochester.
The Red Wings then took over the lead at 3-1 with single tallies in the third, fourth and fifth frames. Rochester plated their three runs on RBI doubles by LF Brian Dinkelman and 3B Danny Valencia in the third and fourth frames and a run-scoring single by CF Dustin Martin.
The Tribe offense then exploded with multiple runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh, starting with Melillo, who led off the fifth with a double, moved to third on a single by Walker and came around to score on a ground out by 1B Brian Myrow. 3B Pedro Alvarez then evened the score at 3-3 when he brought home Walker with another RBI ground out to give him a team-best 33 so far this season.
Kratz then powered the Indians to the lead in the sixth when he launched a two-run longball to deep center field to bring home C Luke Carlin, who led off the frame with a walk. SS Doug Bernier followed Kratz's home run with a single and eventually came around to score on a double by Walker.
Indianapolis added some insurance in the seventh when LF Brandon Moss led off the inning with his third homerun of the season, before a single by Melillo brought home Kratz to cap the scoring and extend the Tribe's lead to 8-3.
With his single, double and home run, Kratz extended his hitting streak to eight straight games, during which time he is batting .517 (15-for-29) with five runs, five doubles and nine RBI. Walker, who tied an Indians' season high with four hits, including his International League leading 15th and 16th double of the season, also extended his hitting streak to eight consecutive games during which time he is batting .389 (14-for-36) with five runs, seven doubles, and five RBI.
The Indianapolis bullpen was fantastic yet again as LHP Justin Thomas (2.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 SO), RHP Steven Jackson (1.0 IP) and RHP Vinnie Chulk (1.0 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 1 SO) combined to allow just one hit over 5.1 innings of scoreless relief. Thomas earned the victory to improve to 2-0 on the season and improve the Tribe bullpen ERA to 2.63 (18 ER in 61.2 IP ) over their last 19 games during which time they have collected three wins, nine saves and 54 strikeouts.
Neither starter figured in the final decision as Indianapolis LHP Donnie Veal (4.2 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 6 SO) allowed three runs on six hits over 4.2 innings of work and in his Triple-A debut Rochester RHP Deolis Guerra (4.0 IP, 8 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 3 SO) allowed three runs (two earned) on eight hits over 4.0 innings. Red Wings' reliever Jose Lugo (1.0 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB) suffered the loss despite not surrendering a hit as four Rochester relievers combined to allow five runs hits over four innings of relief.Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

OPTUS Australia Nokia Lumia 925 Unlocking Code Available
OPTUS Australia Nokia Lumia 925 Overview:
Nokia is taking to the stage today, and announced the Lumia 925, a pretty metal-rimmed Windows Phone 8 device, which was long-rumored under the Catwalk codename. We've got a 4.5″ 1280×768 pixels HD AMOLED display with the ClearBlack filter, which Nokia said is its brightest OLED used to date, and can be operated with gloves. The phone is made of polycarbonate, but sports an aluminum side frame, which also serves as the antenna, and the 8.7 MP camera with Carl Zeiss lens, dual LED flash and optical image stabilization, as found on the Lumia 920. Nokia said the camera algorithms have been significantly improved as well, so all that is left now is to gauge what changes are there from the first samples. The wireless charging capabilities from its predecessor are here as well, but via a cover, hence the phone is much, much thinner and lighter than the 920, at 8.5 mm and 139 grams, respectively. There is LTE and HSPA+ 4G connectivity, a dual-core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon inside, the typical 1 GB of RAM plus 16 GB of internal memory, and a 2000 mAh battery to back it all up.

"If I DH Morse, I don't have a middle infielder to use later in the game. When I have him in left field (to start the game), I do have the option to use him in the infield later."

"The Morse Road SID was a bit different because the business community there was very involved. We can do the same thing along 161, but it's a way down the road."

Looking for used but good condition faucets and shanks. Nothing too crazy this is my first set up. Thank you
I think I have some decent faucets at home but no shanks. I'll take a look tonight.
Might I suggest looking into stainless steel Perlick forward sealing faucets. Buy once and never need to replace them.
Here is what I've got. They are actually a lot nicer than I thought. $30.00 shipped and they are yours, assuming you are in CONUS.
PM me if you're still in need, just pulled a bunch of shanks out of storage that I can pair with some Perlicks I recently picked up, or just sell the shanks.

Hey Guys,
My 4yr old DD would like to know how the doctor got her baby brother out of my belly. What do I tell her?
The watered down version of the truth satisfied my DD's curiosity about reproduction in general from conception to birth.
She was pretty horrified when I told her some babies are cut out (not in those words) of the moms uterus and others are pushed out the moms vagina.
No I don't need to walk a mile in your shoes. I can see that you're a train wreck from all the way over here.
The truth (without the gory details if there are any).
It comes in spurts and sometimes out of thin air. We'll be in a situation where I think "now the questions will come and I am ready to answer" and she is oblivious or disinterested. Other times we're riding along OTW home from school/work and she'll ask a question and I'm like "WHERE DID THAT RANDOM THOUGHT COME FROM??"
DD has always had a ton of questions about everything. Sometimes.....well, a lot.....I have to Google for answers. She's just a curious child. When she has questions I see her trying to put the pieces together. If something doesn't fit she asks about it. The difficult part about the 'how babies are made' talk for her to get was the sperm travel part.
Bazinga! ~ Sheldon Cooper
Ah, ok. Well, if she asks again I'll do my best to answer it... It's just hard to know what to say to a 4 year old sometimes. I don't want to seem like I'm hiding info from her, but I wish there were some things we didn't have to talk about yet.
And yeah, she read the word in the stall. She was a very early self-taught reader. I usually keep the newspapers away from her, because her ability to read things is way higher than her emotional maturity. Again, not trying to shelter her exactly ... but I don't know what 4-year-olds need to know all the world's problems yet.

"I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep ..."
Other times we're riding along OTW home from school/work and she'll ask a question and I'm like "WHERE DID THAT RANDOM THOUGHT COME FROM??"
^^ This is DD. I think she needs time to process and kind of construct the idea in her head. If she can't figure it out on her own she asks about it.
Bazinga! ~ Sheldon Cooper
Jill - LOL Buy a basic anatomy book for him so you're prepared the next time he asks to "see" where babies come out. Sometimes it's just easier to point then try and verbally explain so that a child can understand.
Thank you, I have since bought a book to show him when he asks again (some "Its not a Stork book" recomended here). I said "Ryan I cant show you the hole because it is in mommy's private area" but I promise you it is there. He was like all upset "ok, then" so he would appreciate a picture
Jill...mommy to Ryan ♥ 2-26-07
"Penises do not just meander on their own, in search of a hole to call home" - Clutehomestead
I got pregnant with my third child when my girls were 5 & 3 so we had a few conversations about how the baby would get out. If you keep your explanation simple and straight-forward, don't act embarassed, they will pick up that attitude from you. I explained how most babies came out through the mother's vagina, but some got stuck along the way and then the doctors cut them out (this is what had happened with the 3-year old). They were completely ok with that and it was no big deal at all.
My 4 year old had the nurse at my midwifes office cracking up. She said mom soon I will have a baby sister and you will PUSH her out like this and she proceeded to start grunting. Yeah I told he the truth and she has seen me watch baby shows on TV.

Body Wisdom Is The Difference That Makes A Difference.
The Body Wisdom Massage Therapy School & Spa, located in Des Moines, IA, is dedicated to taking a leading role in bringing the massage therapy profession to the level of a true holistic healing art.
We are fully accredited with the State of Iowa, The Iowa Massage Board, the AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association), and the National Certification Board as a recognized massage therapy education provider.
The vision of the Body Wisdom School is to bring the profession of massage therapy and bodywork to the level of fully integrated healing arts. We teach complementary healing modalities that reduce pain, promote wellness, and address all levels of the whole person: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
The philosophy of the Body Wisdom School is based on the guiding principle of wholeness and the inner healer. We believe that every physical imbalance is the result of lack of wholeness on one or more levels of the body, mind, emotions, or spirit, and that each individual has an innate connection to their inner healer that can guide their healing process.
We believe that massage and bodywork are powerful vehicles for healing, awareness, and engaging the whole person through a synthesis of structure, function, energy, and emotion. All the classes at the Body Wisdom School emphasize whole-body learning in an experiential learning environment that is relaxing, dynamic, and highly effective.
In addition to outstanding professional skills, we place equal emphasis on the personal development and growth of our students as the basis for facilitating others.
We invite you to explore your participation with us as a client, full time student, or in one of our workshops or intensives.
