Sansa Stark + Green
Green is the color of balance and harmony. From a meaning of colors perspective, green is also the color of growth, the color of spring, of renewal and rebirth. It is an emotionally positive color, giving us the ability to love and nurture ourselves and others unconditionally. This color relates to stability and endurance, giving us persistence and the strength to cope with adversity. [x]

i'll be like 40 w/no kids and people will say "aw i'm so sorry for you" and i'll be like how was the fucking wiggles reunion tour asshole i went to italy last week for fun and didn't have to hire a sitter
This is a very sad mentality. To think oneself more important than that of progeny is the sign of a failed human life.
so the wiggles concert wasn't as good as you thought it would be huh

Evolution, coordination, and banking panics
AbstractI study equilibrium selection by an evolutionary process in an environment with multiple equilibria, one of which involves a banking panic. The analysis is built on a repeated version of the Diamod-Dybvig (1983) model. The optimal (run free) equilibrium is uniquely selected if it is also "risk dominant." Furthermore, the probability of observing a panic increases as the size of the banks decreases. I discuss local interaction and contagion effects that allow for a bankrun to spread first among banks in the same geographic location and then throughout the entire population.

|: Tigris--PV 1409 :
|Species: Pacific Harbor Seal (Phoca vitulina)
| Narrative
6/10/2014 - A small female Harbor Seal pup was found caught in a net near Cordova. The pup was flown from Cordova to Anchorage by Alaska Airlines Cargo, many thanks to Alaska Airlines! Rehab staff did an initial examination and tubed fluids to re-hydrate the seal. She was examined by vet staff that evening, and was prescribed eye drops to combat some slight irritation in the eyes.
6/12/14 - The pup has started consuming a diluted Harbor Seal Formula. We slowly increase the percent of formula to ensure that the pup is hydrated and processing it well.
6/21/14 - Vet staff have cleared her to swim before feeds, she really seems to enjoy the water! Staff are slowly transitioning her to a fish based formula. She has also had blood drawn to screen for internal diseases, and she is on an antibiotic to combat some inflammation of her umbilicus.
6/30/14 - The little pup started eating herring today! staff have been slowly introducing fish during her swims, and earlier today she started chewing on pieces. This past feed she was sucessfully eating whole fish! This is a huge step toward release, and will help her gain weight efficiently.
7/4/14 - Happy 4th of July! This seal pup is enjoying the wonderful weather today outside in a condo, with lots of ice to keep her cool. After a trial day outside a few days ago, she has been spending night outside ever since!
7/10/14 - The stripe like patterns on this seal's fron flippers has earned her the name Tigris! Along with a name change, Tigris had a location change this week, and had moved to an ODL, a type of enclosure with a larger deck and a deeper pool that cuts down on human interaction. Yesterday staff drew blood and gave her a flipper tag, # 133, in preperation for her eventual release. Today she also gained a roommate, Everest! The flipper tags will help tell them apart when staff feed the seals or watch to keep an eye on their behaviors.
7/17/14 - Tigris is flourishing in the ODL. She is steadily gaining weight, is competing very well with Everest, and just today was given access to a second pool, so they have more room to swim!
7/22/14 - Today Tigris and Everest moved into the indoor pool that Vesuvius and Machu Picchu have been sharing. Because all these seals are from a similar area, they can be housed together, and should be released around the same time. All these seals in one pool makes for great competition at feeding times!
8/7/14 - Tigris and her roommates are all doing very well in the large pool room. She is gaining weight well, and has been seen zooming around the deep pool. She is up to a whopping 17.5 kg, and recently had a blood draw in preparation for her release!

Mozilla bakes Facebook features into Firefox 17
Patches 29 vulnerabilities, two-thirds rated critical
Computerworld - Mozilla Tuesday released Firefox 17, which debuts technology that lets developers integrate social networks -- for now, Facebook -- with the browser.
The company also patched 29 security vulnerabilities, two-thirds of them marked "critical," Mozilla's highest threat ranking.
The main thrust of Mozilla's trumpeting of Firefox 17, however, was what it called "Social API," an application programming interface (API) that allows developers to bake connections to social media services into the browser.
The first result of the API, Facebook Messenger for Firefox, displays a sidebar that shows Facebook chat sessions and updates, including new comments, without requiring the user to steer to Facebook's website. Additional tools range from message notifications to friend requests, accessible through new icons in the browser's toolbar.
Firefox 17 users can enable Messenger at this Facebook page, and the social networking giant has posted a short FAQ on the integration with Firefox.
Firefox 17 also debuts a new security feature that automatically blocks outdated versions of the most popular Web browser plug-ins -- Adobe's Flash Player and Reader, Microsoft's Silverlight, and Oracle's Java -- from executing content.
Dubbed "click-to-play," the added protection bars content from running in plug-ins Mozilla determines are unsafe or seriously out of date. (The company posts a list here.) Users can override the block, or before doing that, investigate by clicking a new icon that appears on the left edge of the browser's address bar.
Click-to-play is only the latest in a series of steps Mozilla has taken this year to stymie attacks, including blocking outdated Java plug-ins on Macs last spring when the Flashback malware infected several hundred thousand machines, and wrapping up work on silent updates to emulate Google's long practice of removing updates from users' responsibility.
Along with the new additions, Mozilla also subtracted: It pulled the plug on support for OS X Leopard, Apple's 2007 operating system.
The move had been in the works for almost a year, with the final decision coming in August. Firefox 16, which shipped Oct. 9, was the last version able to run on Leopard.
According to Web metrics firm Net applications, only about 9% of all Macs still run Leopard; nearly two-thirds run either its successor, Snow Leopard, or that edition's follow-on, Lion. Most of the rest are powered by 2012's Mountain Lion.
The open-source developer also patched 29 vulnerabilities, 19 of them critical, with nine of the remaining labeled "high" and one pegged "moderate."
Nearly a third were reported by Abhishek Arya, who goes by the nickname "Inferno," of the Chrome security team, Mozilla said in an accompanying advisory. He was also credited with reporting five more vulnerabilities that were "introduced during Firefox development that were fixed before general release."
Another four were submitted by "miaubiz," a long-time contributor to Google's bug-bounty program.
By Net Applications' estimates, Firefox accounted for 20% of the browsers that went online last month. Irish measurement firm StatCounter, however, pegged Firefox's global share for October at a slightly higher 22.3%.
Windows, Mac and Linux editions of Firefox 17 can be downloaded manually from Mozilla's site. Installed copies will be upgraded automatically.
The next version of Firefox is scheduled to ship the week of Jan. 7, 2013, a slight delay from the usual six-week cadence to account for the end-of-year holidays.

Kuchi - Afghanistan
Sawabe, 12, from the nomadic Afghan Kuchi tribe stands near her camp with a camel May 30, 2005 in Faisabad, in northeast Afghanistan. The Kuchi of Afghanistan are nomads moving to the northeast in the spring and summer months where it is cooler and there is plenty of food for their herds. (Paula Bronstein/Getty Images)
Located in southern and eastern Afghanistan, the Kuchi nomads are still largely sedentary despite changes in society around them. According to Minority Rights, most Kuchi winter in the same place every year and then move with their herds of animals to find the best pastures, a migration they have made for centuries. Because of the conflicts that have ravaged Afghanistan for centuries, the Kuchi and their animals are often injured or killed by land mines, reported Canadian magazine The Walrus, and with each new political regime the territory over which the Kuchi can travel shrinks or grows. According to the Christian Science Monitor, a census from 1977 put the Kuchi population at about 2 million, but since then no surveys have been conducted and it's impossible to tell how many Kuchi people were killed in the conflict with the Taliban.

A baby wombat has made a full recovery after being found in the pouch of her dead mother's body. After noticing the animal at the side of the road, a quick thinking passerby decided to check if the poor creature was carrying any offspring. Incredibly, despite its mother being struck by a car, the teeny critter was found shivering inside its pouch, still suckling at its mother teat. After an urgent phone call from a passerby to the local wildlife helpline, voluntary animal carer, Kim Hunter, 48 came to the rescue of the baby wombat and took it home.

This is Bobby (rocket nose) and Ani (spotty face). They are a 6 year old (born February 2008) super bonded Calico sibling pair currently living in Brooklyn. They need a new home!
Both are in perfect health, good litter box manners, playful, extremely cuddly, and good eaters. They need to be re-homed due to no fault of their own. There is a new person in the household with debilitating allergies. This was a very hard decision for their person to make, but they're just not getting the attention and affection they need in their current situation.
They are great with children, not great with dogs, and would be OK to live with other cats.
I've known them both since they were tiny handfuls and they are really incredibly sweet and playful and mischievous and really, really ridiculously good looking. If I could take them in I absolutely would.
They're not micro-chipped, but their person would absolutely assume the cost and have this done with their new person's info. They're up to date on all their shots and tests. Their person is willing to transport them pretty far for the perfect home - anywhere drive-able from NYC. Help with food and litter costs for the first year would also be possible if someone wanted to take them in but had limited resources.
If you'd like more information - or more pictures! Or would just like to meet them in person (they're in Bed Stuy in Brooklyn, a few short blocks from the A/C at Nostrand) please drop a note in my ask-box.
Please reblog!
Thank you!

Thai tourism struggles amid political protests
Chinese and other Asian tourists canceling Lunar New Year trips; U.S. and other countries have cautioned travelers.
Bloomberg News
Northwest travel guides
Thai anti-government protests that have shut down parts of Bangkok may cost the nation's tourism industry as Chinese visitors cancel trips during the lunar new year holiday that starts this week.
Other countries' citizens also are staying away after governments cautioned them about travel to Bangkok.
Arrivals will fall by half to 1 million this month, Minister of Tourism and Sports Somsak Phurisisak said recently, with some hotels in the capital and nearby Pattaya and Hua Hin 30 percent full. The revenue loss could amount to 22.5 billion baht ($685 million), the Tourism Council of Thailand said, with China last week warning its citizens to avoid protest sites and reconsider non-essential travel to the country.
Other countries also have issued travel alerts about Thailand because of the political demonstrations, including the United States, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Australia, and the Philippines.
"I first planned for a weeklong trip to Bangkok to visit my friend there for Christmas, but I had to postpone because of the unrest," said Jia Yanfen, 38, a Beijing-based Chinese language teacher who has never been to Thailand. "I waited and waited, hoping to go for Chinese New Year," Jia said. "I had to cancel the trip now. Of course I was a bit disappointed, but safety comes first."
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra imposed a state of emergency in Bangkok Jan. 22 as attacks on protesters escalated and demonstrators blockaded Bangkok's busiest intersections.
"The biggest concern now is the prolonged protest begins to significantly affect the tourism industry, which was the only bright spot for the economy in 2013," said Porranee Thongyen, head of research at Asia Plus Securities Pcl. "With sluggish consumption and investments, a slump in tourism revenue would further worsen the overall economy."
Flights canceled
Bangkok attracted almost 4.2 million visitors from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan in 2013, a 46 percent jump from the year before, according to government data, and Somsak said about 300,000 Chinese tourists traditionally visit the country during the lunar new year holiday, which begins Jan. 31. "We expect to see more flight reductions by airlines, especially from China," he told reporters in Bangkok.
Singapore Airlines Ltd. will cancel 43 flights between Singapore and Bangkok between Jan. 14 and Feb. 27, and Thai Airways International Pcl plans to scrap 25 flights between Hong Kong and the capital, the carriers said last week.
The Thai tourism industry rebounded from protests that shut the main airport for almost two weeks in 2008 and turned inner Bangkok into a war zone in 2010, as well as from disasters such as the Indian Ocean tsunami that devastated beach resorts in 2004, and floods in 2011.
People are still visiting other parts of Thailand, according to Philip McNicholas, a Hong Kong-based economist at BNP Paribas SA. "Reading into just the impact for Bangkok and extrapolating that across the country is probably taking it a little bit too simply," McNicholas said in a Bloomberg Television interview last week.
"In 2010, 70 percent of tourists went in through Bangkok, now it's down to 60 percent," he said. "It may prove somewhat more resilient than people expect."
Thailand's government imposed the state of emergency in Bangkok after bombings and shootings in the capital left one person dead and 70 injured.
Suthep Thaugsuban, an opposition politician leading the protests, has vowed to continue the blockades that began Jan. 13 until Yingluck resigns. Suthep wants the government replaced with an unelected council that would change laws to prevent parties linked to former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, Yingluck's brother, returning to power.
The violence has been mostly limited to well-defined protest zones, and the city's temples, markets, malls and nightspots remain open. The elevated rail system, known as the Sky Train, as well as the subway and river taxis have increased capacity to cope with demand from commuters and tourists.
Bookings to Thai destinations including Chiang Mai in the north, and beach resorts including Koh Samui and Phuket have helped offset a decline in demand in Bangkok, said Bill Heinecke, whose Minor International Pcl has 18 hotels in the country, including Bangkok's St Regis and Four Seasons and the Anantara group of resorts.
"Of course our hotels have been affected, but Thailand as a whole still continues to welcome visitors from across the globe," Heinecke said Jan. 23 by email. "Today's traveler is very resilient as economic challenges, political difficulties and natural disasters happen all over the world."
Still, with tourists from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong making up almost a quarter of all arrivals at Bangkok's two international airports, salvaging the city's traditional tourist high season will be a challenge.

A brand is the external reflection of a company's inside culture and core values. In order for a brand to stay relevant, be different and unique, it must reinvent itself continuously. If a company's products or services don't change the game regularly, they suddenly become a commodity, as unique and innovative they could have been at some point. Continue reading
The danger of saying "we're all innovators" is that it dilutes the role of the teams whose primary responsibility is innovation.

I often think that the way in which many organisations set off to meet the innovation challenge is strikingly similar to this children's tale. The declaration of intent, the setting off on a route with no idea of what lies ahead, no planning and no thought, a few brief forays which seem to be getting somewhere and then when the true nature of the task becomes apparent the swift retreat into 'business as usual'.

This is a 1 3/4" thick mesquite desk. Both the top and legs are made of book matched Texas mesquite. The top is from one tree and both the legs came from another. Working with mesquite you learn how to fill the cracks to where it looks like the normal black streaks in the wood that naturally occurs. I cut the side edges off with a chain saw and then just sanded it lightly. It left a very interesting edge with a lot of character but still smooth to the touch. The finish is 3 coats of gloss Waterlox and the final coat of satin Waterlox. After finish cures over 4-5 days it is rubbed down with 0000 steel wool and wax.

Beautiful wood. Nice job on the table. I thought God created mesuqite only to cook steaks. I didn't realize it was such a pretty wood.

Connecting the top and not making it to noticeable was a little difficult. As you notice on the is desk there are no drawers that usually would have added the stability to a desk. So to attach the legs to the top I did a couple of things. Fist the top is 1 3/4" thick so I made a mortise in the top 1 1/4" deep to accept the tendon on the legs. Then I drilled pilot holes diagonally from the bottom of the top through the mortise with large wood screws. This worked pretty well, but there was still movement in the desk. So I added triangle blocks, used pocket hole screws on the inside of the blocks so the screws could not be seen from ether side of the desk. the blocks were attached to the inside portion of the legs and the desk top. If you look closely in a couple of the pictures you will see the triangle blocks. They are also made from the same Mesquite so they blend in pretty well. I did not use any glue in attaching the legs because there would be no way to move the desk if we needed to. It is very heavy. Hope this helps.

Nice work, I am working on something similar but out of Tasmanian Rose Myrtle. However, I have had a ton of problems with the wood cracking and warping due to the climate change (high humidity to low humidity in Arizona). Curious how you flattened the top. Did you use #8 or less bench planes or just sand the top.
-- Matt, Arizona
#13 posted 805 days ago
Matt, Sounds like you are working on a challenging project. What your goal should be is to get your top as flat as you possibly can then seal it on all sides as quickly as possible. I can tell you what I do and maybe that will help.
It the top wider then about 48" then i do it in multiple pieces then join the edges with a straight edge and a router bit, then use biskets about ever 6" to align the two halves of the top.
To fill in the cracks in Mesquite or other woods I use system three epoxy.
Finishes I use vary from job to job, but I do like spraying Waterlox finish.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can help further.

All Star Brian Bixler
Brian Bixler is spending his three days off this week in New Mexico. No, it isn't a trip home, or a traditional vacation. It's an appearance in the AAA All-Star Game, between the All-Stars of the International League and those of the Pacific Coast League. The 24-year old will represent the Indianapolis Indians and the Pittsburgh Pirates' organization as the starting shortstop for the International League.
This is Bixler's fourth year in the Pirates' organization. He was drafted in the second round of the 2004 draft, and started playing that same season in Williamsport, the Pirates' A-Short-Season affiliate. In 2005, he played the entire season in Low-A Hickory, where he hit a solid .281, with 23 doubles, 9 homers, and 50 RBI. He also stole 21 bases. Bixler started 2006 with the High-A Lynchburg Hillcats. In the first half of the season at that level, he hit .303, with 16 doubles, 5 homers, and 33 RBI, plus 18 stolen bases. That earned him a trip to the Carolina League All-Star game. He was also named to the Carolina League's post-season All-Star Team, even though he had been promoted to AA Altoona mid-season. In 60 games with Altoona, Bixler hit .301, another 13 doubles, 3 more homers and 19 RBI, plus 6 more stolen bases.
As a AAA-level rookie, Bixler has shone at shortstop and in a few games at second base. Though not on the Pirates' 40-man roster, he is definitely on their radar. He started the season with Indianapolis with a 10-game hitting streak, and has since put together two separate 12-game hitting streaks. The second 12-game streak, which ended just two days ago, had him going 15-for-45, with 7 runs scored and 2 RBI. He currently leads the International League hitters with 9 triples. He is 5th in the league in runs scored (55) and second among active IL players in stolen bases (20). Manager Trent Jewett says that Bixler "has made a very good transition" to the AAA level. He was the Indians' Player of the Month for June, and now is participating in the second All-Star game of his career.
Is there a particular aspect of his game that Bixler has been working on this season? "I'm not trying to target just one thing", said Bixler. "I try to get better at everything, work on getting better overall, and get some experience under my belt. I want to be a better player, and play along with all these guys who have been in the big leagues."
He says that he has always had the running and base-stealing aspect of his game. "I guess I stole bases in college. I don't remember how many I had or anything, but I did run a lot. My speed was good." And what about running this year? "I think I'm running in better situations, getting better timing, and getting a better start."
Bixler grew up in Sandusky, Ohio, where he played baseball, as well as football and basketball. His favorite player when growing up? "Omar Vizquel"
He is very familiar with Cedar Point, the town's big amusement park, and can even recommend his favorite ride. "The best in my opinion is the "Millennium Force", he says. "There are a lot of good ones, but that's the one I like best." Unlike many other kids who grew up there, though, Bixler never worked at the amusement park. "I didn't work too often. I was always playing summer ball, or involved in a lot of stuff, so I never got a job there."
He attended college at Eastern Michigan, where he was the Mid-American Conference Freshman of the Year in 2002, and the Mid-American Conference Player of the Year in 2004 and a Mid-American Conference All-Star in 2004.
"It was a great experience, just to get the opportunity to play," says Bixler. "I really enjoyed myself. I just got a lot of experience there, and it enabled me to get better and grow."
Does he like the city of Indianapolis? "I do, yeah, I do," he says. "It's a good city. It's really clean. I like being here. A lot of good people. It's kind of like a big league stadium. I have no complaints at all. I like it." Another advantage is that it isn't far for Bixler's parents to drive, and they have been able to come to Indianapolis to watch him play.
Playing under manager Trent Jewett this season has also been a pleasure for Bixler. "I like him. He does a great job. He manages well. He's helped me become more familiar with the game, with my game, and what to be looking for as a player out there. He's helped me a lot."
The Carolina League All-Star game last year was a fun experience for Bixler. "It went well. I met a lot of good guys."
And what about the AAA All-Star Game? "I've never been to Albuquerque…. It should be a good time," says Bixler, with a smile. "I'm excited to get there, and see what it's all about."
"I was fortunate to be voted in. There are a lot of good guys who have good numbers. There are a lot of guys who can play."

Joining Brian Bixler at the All-Star Game, also representing the Indianapolis Indians for the International League, will be starting pitcher Bryan Bullington, and infielder/outfielder Yurendell de Caster. The game will be televised on ESPN2 on Wednesday July 11th at 7:30 pm from Isotopes Park in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Thanks to Brian Bixler for his time!

Pirate Nation is Restless
With no vested interest in the All-Star festivities, Pirate fans are eager to get started with the season's second half. (Be honest, you didn't watch the Futures Game to see Steven Pearce, and between last night's derby and this evening's exhibition, the only Pirate involved—Freddy Sanchez—probably doesn't deserve to be there.) We put together a nice run in the last homestand, and I'm...

There were a few four-letter words tossed around, so be careful around the kids. Thanks as always to those guys for having me on.) Maybe halfway through the hour, we started discussing the "We Will" marketing slogan the Pirates have used for the past season and a half....
Tides Take the Series from Indians, 3-1
boxscore (photos by NancyZ)
For the third game in a row, the Indianapolis Indians found themselves on the scoreboard early, but unable to come back late in the game. They were able to put up only 4 hits as they lost to the Norfolk Tides by a score of 7-2 this afternoon at Victory Field. This was the last game before the All-Star break, and the Indians will have a little break to regroup and rest up, before going on to the second half of the season, with a road trip to Rochester at the end of the week.
Kip Bouknight (photo) made his second AAA start for the Indianapolis Indians today. He ran into trouble right away in the top of the first inning. Tides' CF Tike Redman led off with a grounder back to Bouknight, which bounced off Bouknight's glove and landed on the back slope of the mound, toward third base. By the time Bouknight could get to it, Redman was already at first base. Redman stole second base, thought it didn't matter, because Bouknight walked SS Eider Torres. The next two batters flied out, and then 3B Terry Tiffee slammed a 3-run homer over the right-center field wall.
The Indians began to chip away at the Tides' 3-run lead in the 2nd inning. C Humberto Cota (photo) led off with a line drive single into left field. He advanced to second base on RF Yurendell de Caster's ground out, but couldn't move on CF Luis Matos' ground out. Luis Ordaz lined a single into left field, scoring Cota, but then Ordaz was caught stealing second base to end the inning.
The Indians scored again in the 3rd inning. 3B Don Kelly singled to center to lead off the inning. DH Russ Johnson and SS Brian Bixler both walked, to load the bases. LF Michael Ryan lifted a sacrifice fly to right field, to score Kelly well ahead of the throw in from Tides' RF Adam Stern to C Alberto Castillo, and moved Johnson to third as the throw went home. That was all the Indians could get, though, as 1B Brad Eldred struck out and Humberto Cota grounded into a fielders' choice.
(photo: Russ Johnson comes to the plate)
Kip Bouknight bounced back from the 3-run first inning by striking out the side in the second inning. He got out of trouble in the 3rd inning without allowing a run to score. With two outs, 1B Mike Cervenak lifted a high pop foul to deep behind shortstop. Tribe SS Brian Bixler went back, and was shading his eyes with his glove, but apparently could not find the ball in the sun. LF Mike Ryan came running in, but couldn't get there in time before the ball fell in for a hit. LF Jon Knott walked, and 3B Terry Tiffee grounded a single through the right side and to Yurendell de Caster in right field. Cervenak rounded third and headed for home as de Caster came up firing. He threw a bullet to Humberto Cota, who was plunked squarely in the baseline with the ball in his glove as Cervanak came charging in. Cervenak knocked Cota right over, but Cota kept the ball securely in his mitt, holding it up for the umpire to see when the dust had settled — the third out. (Check out the photo on IndyIndians.com ).
Cota popped back up quickly, but came out of the game an inning later, replaced by Carlos Maldonado.
The Tides added an insurance run in the 5th inning. Tike Redman led off with a double down the right field line, and Eider Torres followed with a single. Mike Cervenak popped up for the first out. Torres stole second base with Jon Knott at the plate, and that prevented a double play when Knott slapped a grounder to third base. Tribe 3B Don Kelly scooped up the grounder and fired home to Carlos Maldonado (photo) to try to get Redman. But the ball came in on Maldonado's right side, and he missed the catch, allowing Redman to score. At first the error was charged to Kelly, as a throwing error, but it was later changed back to a missed-catch error for Maldonado (the correct call from where I was sitting). That put Torres on third base and Knott at first base with one out. Terry Tiffee was intentionally walked to load the bases for the potential double play. The strategy worked, as C Alberto Castillo obligingly grounded to SS Brian Bixler, who started the Bixler to Ordaz to Eldred ( 6-4-3 ) double play to end the inning, with only one run in, bringing the score to 4-2.
Kip Bouknight left the game after 5 innings, having given up 4 runs (3 earned), 7 hits, and 3 walks, with 5 strikeouts. Reliever Mark Corey pitched the 6th inning for the Indians, and he allowed Norfolk another insurance run. RF Adam Stern led off with a double into left field, and he moved to third base on DH Luis Montanez's sacrifice bunt. Former Indy Indian (2005) SS Cesar Crespo also lined a double into left field, to bring in Stern and bring the score to 5-2. Tike Redman grounded a ball to Tribe SS Brian Bixler, and Bixler's throw to first took an odd hop right in front of 1B Brad Eldred. Eldred missed the catch, but quickly picked up the ball, and realized that Crespo had started for third when he saw that Eldred had not caught the ball. Eldred fired to third, where Don Kelly tagged Crespo for the second out. A simple grounder to Eldred at first base ended the inning.
Three more pitchers each took an inning for the Tribe. Brian Rogers (photo) was the most successful, setting down the side in order in the 7th. Jonah Bayliss gave up two more runs in the 8th. With one out, Adam Stern singled and stole second base. Luis Montanez walked, and then Cesar Crespo singled into right field, to score Stern. Tribe RF Yurendell de Caster had trouble handling the ball, and Montanez was able to advance to third base. Tike Redman hit a sacrifice fly, to bring in Montanez. Bayliss then struck out Eider Torres to end the inning.
Franquelis Osoria pitched a scoreless ninth inning, giving up a hit and a walk, but stranding those runners on base when he struck out Adam Stern for the third out.
Norfolk starter Tim Kester left the game after pitching 5 innings, giving up 2 runs (both earned) on 4 hits and 3 walks, with 4 strikeouts. Francis Beltran pitched the 6th and 7th innings, allowing only Brian Bixler to reach base, and that was on a throwing error by Tides' 1B Mike Cervenak. Bixler stole his 20th base of the season, but was left stranded as Beltran retired the next two batters. Steve Green pitched the last two innings for the Tides. He gave up two walks in the 9th, to Luis Ordaz and Russ Johnson, but Ordaz was erased in a double play and Johnson was left standing at first base when the final out was made.
Tides' starter Tim Kester earned the win, his 6th of the season. The Tribe's Kip Bouknight took the loss, his first at the AAA level.
All of the Indians but three will have the next three days off, before heading to Rochester, NY to begin the second part of the season with four games against the Red Wings. The other three Indians, starting pitcher Bryan Bullington, SS Brian Bixler, and INF/OF Yurendell de Caster will be going to Albuquerque, NM, to participate in the AAA All-Star Game. The contest between the International League and Pacific Coast League All-Stars will take place on Wednesday, July 11th, and it will be televised on ESPN.
Indians' hitting gems of the game: Michael Ryan hit a sacrifice fly for an RBI, and Luis Ordaz had a timely RBI single.
Indians' defensive gem of the game: Yurendell de Caster's throw from right field to C Humberto Cota in the top of the third, and Cota's blocking of the plate, to keep Mike Cervenak from scoring. Luckily, Cota will have three days to shake off the effects of the collision.
Bam Bam Meulens was not with the team today, since he went to San Francisco for the Futures Game. Chris Aguila and Adam Boeve did most of the coaching at first base today.

Pearce is making a name for himself thanks to a strong first half of the 2007 season. He started the year with Single-A Lynchburg before being promoted to Altoona, and before long, he should be making his Triple-A debut with Indianapolis. The short, stocky first baseman...
Tides Sink Indians
boxscore (photos by EmilP)
The Indianapolis Indians started strong, but gave up runs in the late innings, and lost to the Norfolk Tides by a score of 4-3 tonight at Victory Field. The Tides have now taken two of the first three games of this series, and the Indians will be trying to finish the series 2-2 tomorrow. The loss drops the Indians to 3 games behind the first-place Toledo Mud Hens in the International League West Division.
Left-hander Michael Tejera (photo) started the game for the Indians, and pitched 5.1 innings. He set the side down in order in the first inning, and worked his way out of a jam in the second. Norfolk's DH Jon Knott led off the second inning with a tremendous belt to deep left-center field, and raced around the bases to make it a triple. 3B Terry Tiffee popped a fly ball to right field, but too short for Knott to tag up and score. LF Luis Montanez bounced a short grounder back to Tejera, who looked Knott back to third, and then threw to first for the second out. RF Adam Stern walked, and then with former Indy Indian (2005) Cesar Crespo at the plate, Stern was picked off first base and then thrown out at second, Tejera to Tribe 1B Yurendell de Caster to SS Brian Bixler, to end the inning — leaving Knott still standing on third base.
The Tides did get to Tejera for one run in the 3rd inning. C Ryan Hubele, in his first AAA at-bat since being promoted from AA two days ago, smashed a double to the center field wall. He scored when CF Tike Redman singled up the middle.
The Indians were still leading, though. Norfolk's Andy Mitchell, a reliever making only his 6th career start, had a shaky first inning. Lead-off hitter RF Adam Boeve lined a single into left-center field. He moved to third base on SS Brian Bixler's ground out. Then LF Michael Ryan (photo) blasted a homer over the right field wall, to give the Indians a 2-run lead. It was Ryan's second first-inning home run in three days, and the Indians' 5th first-inning homer in four days.
?(Brian) Bixler did a great job moving (Adam) Boeve to third", said Ryan after the game. "I was just trying to stay up the middle. I got a pitch over the plate, and was able to put a good swing on it….. We?re not much of a power team, so, when the home runs come, it seems like they come in spurts.?
After the first inning, the sidearmer/submariner Mitchell held the Indians to only 2 hits over the next five innings.
In the 6th inning, Norfolk tied the score. With one out, 1B Mike Cervenak blooped a single into left-center field, in front of Tribe LF Michael Ryan who had been playing deep. That was the end of Michael Tejera's night. He exited after having thrown 87 pitches (56 strikes), and giving up 2 runs on 6 hits and one walk, with 2 strikeouts. Reliever Jesse Chavez entered the game, and was greeted by DH Jon Knott's double to center, which scored Cervenak to tie the score. Chavez ended the inning by striking out Terry Tiffee and getting Luis Montanez to ground out.
Chavez gave up one run in the 7th inning, when Adam Stern tripled, and scored on a sacrifice fly by Ryan Hubele, to put Norfolk up by one run. Juan Perez came in to pitch the 8th, allowing two hits, one of which was a solo homer by Mike Cervenak, who continues to hit over .500 against the Indians. Josh Sharpless pitched a perfect 9th inning for the Indians.
The Tides' Andy Mitchell left the game after pitching 6 innings and giving up 2 runs on only 4 hits, with 5 strikeouts. Reliever Victor Moreno came in and pitched a scoreless 7th inning. The Tribe got their only run in the 8th inning. 3B Don Kelly led off with a walk. Adam Boeve flied out and SS Brian Bixler struck out. With Michael Ryan at the plate, Don Kelly stole second base, putting him into scoring position. That made it possible for him to score on Ryan's liner up the middle for a single. That was all the Indians could get, though. Tides' reliever Cory Doyne earned his league-leading 26th save by pitching a scoreless 9th. He gave up a walk to C Carlos Maldonado, and Humberto Cota came in to pinch-run for Maldonado, but the inning ended with a ground out by 2B Luis Ordaz.
Indians' hitting gem of the game: Michael Ryan's two-run homer in the first inning.
Indians' defensive gems of the game: In the top of the first inning, Tides' Mike Cervenak hit a long, long fly ball to center field. CF Luis Matos (photo) turned his back to the infield and ran… catching the ball on the warning track without turning around, just over his shoulder, for the 3rd out of the inning. Then, he did it again in the 5th inning, on a fly ball off the bat of Tike Redman. That one was nearly as long, again for the 3rd out, and this time with a runner on base who would certainly have been able to score if the ball had dropped in for a hit. Both times Matos got a big hand from the crowd as he came back to the dugout.
Brian Bixler's hitting streak came to an end at 12 games, since he didn't get a hit tonight.

A certain crazy Indy Indians' fan/writer threw out the first pitch at tonight's game. Was it a fastball? A curve? No, it was a sinker. It sank really, really fast. Right into the dirt. Many thanks to Russ Johnson, who is, of course, quite adept at picking up a grounder. And he didn't even laugh.

COMMENT: A real superhero at the tender age of six
9:00am Saturday 14th June 2014 in News
RUFUS Taylor feels like a supehero, and we think he is one too. The brave six-year-old went under the knife to donate vital bone marrow to his sick little brother Herbie.
And his sacrifice is likely to have saved his siblings' life.

New credits. Clark, looking older and handsomer, crushes a car. He flies with Lana and lies in bed with her. Smooth, Clark. Lana still stares at tornados. Lex flies with Clark, which is something we haven't seen yet. Lois flashes her gigantic tits as she gets out of the lake, natch. Chloe fires a gun, which we also haven't seen yet. Nice! Papa Luthor dives out of the way of a train and looks all crazy and wild. Good one. Clark is in space prison. MamaKent is in her awesome mourning scene. That is one classy hot lady. There are random scenes from last season, including the Lex/Zod/Lana kiss. No Bo Duke. We miss him a little.
Commercials. The latest Fast/Furious movie is on DVD. Is Tokyo Drift like a Cleveland Steamer?
Chaos in Metropolis at the foot of the LuthorCorp building. Rioters are losing their shit. Four of them are beating up Papa Luthor. Two guys are carrying off Chloe, who is upright, which doesn't exactly jibe with where she was when we left her last season. Papa Luthor manages to fight the thugs off himself. He growls and fights off even more dudes to free Chloe. You go, Papa! Chloe does some kicking herself. Someone puts Papa in a choke-hold. One of Papa's heavies comes by to help and tells him they need to get off the street. He says Lex is already inside. "Lex is..." Papa begins. A guy grabs Chloe and throws her on the roof of a car. "I'll get her," says Papa's henchman, and goes to kick some ass. Papa puts an arm around Chloe and ushers her off to safety.
LuthorCorp rooftop. The skies are still orange and smoky. Instead of continuing to make out, Lana has decided to be pensive as she watches the city burn. Lana tells Zod (in the body of Lex) that they have to help all the people. Zod, still in his big black leather trenchcoat, doesn't think so. Lana says that with the powers he has, they can stop the riots. "Lex Luthor is dead," Zod says. You didn't hear? It was quick. Just happened...right...THEN. Lana has a brain freeze. "My name is Zod," Zod says. And I don't come in sizes Small or Medium. Chloe and Papa Luthor appear from the roof access door just as Zod flies off, carrying Lana with one arm around her. They make a lot of disturbance in the air. The camera zooms back down to Chloe and Papa.
Papa and Chloe wait until they're back inside the building to talk about what's happening. Chloe says that must have been Zod. Papa Luthor says that Clark must not have been able to stop him. Ya think? As he grabs a gun, Papa Luthor stops in mid-sentence to think. "Zod has taken over Lex," he decides. Chloe, with blood on her forehead, wonders if Zod might have killed Clark. Papa thinks the dagger that was given to Clark might still be at the farm. He thinks they can use it to stop Zod. "You mean kill him?" Chloe asks. "Kill Lex?" Papa has to think about that one. Chloe offers to go to the newspaper and see if she can figure out anything else about the computer virus. She plans to try to match the Kryptonian symbols for clues. "That won't help us, we--" Papa snaps, and then sits down suddenly. Dude's in bad shape. He says that they need Clark to decipher the symbols. Chloe says that he's Jarnelle's oracle, and should be able to do it himself. "The connection I felt with Jor-El at the fortress...it's gone," Papa explains. It was a magic moment, with confetti and butterfly kisses. He says he can't feel Jarnelle's presence anymore. But he thinks they can fix everything with the dagger. Chloe says that she can't make it back to Smallville with her leg in such bad shape. Can't Papa carry her? Or get a helicopter up in here? Papa stands. He hands Chloe his gun. He asks her to take care of herself. "You too, Mr. Luthor," Chloe tells him. Papa leaves her there. Chloe sighs. "Clark...wherever you are, I could really use your help right now," she says sadly.

The perfect eyewear for your face shape
The right eyewear can enhance your facial features and overall personality. Perfect eyewear is something that suits the shape of your face. Take a look at some do's and don'ts for selecting the right eyewear:
1. It can get confusing when you read too much about facial shapes. There are pyramid, diamond and triangular shapes. Then you have the oval, square, rectangle, round or heart-shaped faces that are easier to identify. Identify your face shape accordingly.
2. An oval shaped face is very easy to kit out with eyewear. Almost any shape and design suits the oval shape. An oval face generally has a slightly narrower face than the forehead. This can balance out the proportions neatly to suit any design. Go for quality eyewear like Valentino eyeglasses 5444 or the Valentino Raw Sienna eyeglasses. They're a lovely blend of sophisticated elegance and style.
3. In a square face, you get a well-defined jaw line and forehead that are almost equal in proportion. Rimless round eyeglasses are a good option. Glasses with temples that are center set look good. Narrow frames that have slightly rounded edges or a wider width can lengthen your facial shape and soften the jaw line.
4. Go for square shaped eyewear if your face is rectangular or narrow shaped. Rectangular frames with decorative temple designs are also a good idea. Designs on the corner of the frame can add width to a narrow face and make your face appear shorter to balance it out.
5. Round eyeglasses in lighter colors balance and soften a wide forehead and are perfect for a heart-shaped face. Butterfly shaped frames are also a good choice for balancing a heart-shaped face where the chin is narrow.
6. Angular frames suit a round face best. They help add definition with sharper angles to a round face. Try geometric shapes to balance out your facial features. A horizontal frame can make your face look thinner and longer.
