Well, week one is in the book and we had a record 102 players sign up. That is a pretty amazing difference than last year where we had about a third of that. Just means the stakes are that much higher and more competitive. Three claim the lead after a strong 7 - 3 showing in week one. Buff2008, No Chance I'm Right and arusse25 all got 70% of their picks right. Congrats to you three and thanks again for all who signed up. As soon as we get into conference play, get ready for some prizes to be dished out.
If you haven't signed up, you can definitely still get in and win some weekly prizes so get in the contest and compete against the 100+ others. Here is the sign-up page

A common trend I've found in Dayton Moore's moves, particularly the last two offseasons, is that they're mostly non-horrible when viewed in isolation, but make little sense when assessed within the context of the roster/team needs/depth/etc. Dayton Moore, one must conclude, lives in a vacuum.
Trading a middle reliever for a 30 home run power guy makes sense. The Royals need power, the bullpen is a strength, relievers grow on trees. However…the Royals just traded their second best reliever (Ramon Ramirez), their next best (Ron Mahay) reliever's performance was more of a mirage plus he's coming off of injury. The team's two best hitting prospects (Kila and Butler) are 1b/DH types, need MLB at bats to develop, and have the bonus of being young/cost-controlled. Plus Mike Jacobs's two biggest weaknesses, lack of defensive ability and on-base skills, are also perhaps the team's two biggest weaknesses. His contract wasn't an albatross, but it was way more than the league minimum. In a vacuum, trading a good but not great middle reliever for a 30 home run guy is a slam dunk, in the context of the roster/finances/organizational depth, terrible move.
Trading a middle reliever for a defensive center fielder with good speed makes sense. The bullpen is a strength, the outfield defense could improve, the team could use a top of the order hitter. However…the Royals just traded their third best reliever (Leo Nunez), their next best (Ron Mahay) reliever's performance was more of a mirage plus he's coming off of injury. The Royals have a solid, cheap, underrated center fielder in Dejesus, in-house options like Mitch Maier and Joey Gathright. Rumors also float about a trade involving Teahen for some Franklin guy (thank god we didn't pull the trigger on that one!). Add to that Crisp's injury history, his age, and his sizeable contract. Not to mention that for all Crisp's speed he's not the most efficient base stealer and he lacks the on-base skills to be a legitimate leadoff hitter. In a vacuum, trading a good middle reliever for your starting center fielder is a solid play, in the context of the roster/finances/organization depth, not a good move.
Trading an aging, becoming expensive player who's ok at everything but not great at anything player for two young, cost-controlled players with upside is a great move. However…when the two players you get in return happen to play the positions that two of your few young, cost-controlled players with upside play, and are both are worse players, it's a puzzling move.
Acquiring a speedy outfielder that won't kill you on defense, who has experience winning, good, solid 4th outfielder type but can't hit too much for under 2 million is a solid play. However…when you already have a speedy outfielder who plays better defense, is several years younger, is going to be at least as good and probably better on offense and makes the league minimum, it's a dumb, dumb move. Oh yeah, we also signed Brian Anderson who's younger, cheaper, better on defense, than Podsednik.
Signing an outfielder with a great arm and home run power for ok I'll just stop there.
If I knew better than to think that Dayton knew how to turn on a computer, I'd say it's like he's playing a baseball simulation game that approves trades if the money/performance match up in the abstract. Problem is, these moves make no sense in terms of the 25 man roster, organization depth, finances, etc. It's good to be able to match up on trades and make deals, but it's better if you have a reasonable understanding of how to construct a 25 man roster in doing so….being able to successfully identify players that are actually good would help too.
In conclusion, Dayton Moore is a GM who operates in a vacuum, which is why he sucks.

Carbondale dealt the Rams one of their worst losses of the season earlier this season.
Mt. Vernon will try to rebound with a victory in Changnon Gymnasium tonight against the Terriers.
The game marks the beginning of the annual Mt. Vernon Township High School Sports of Hall of Fame weekend. The Class of 2014 will be recognized at tonight's game with the banquet following on Saturday night.
"You have a lot of people who came before that had a great deal of success at Mt. Vernon," Gamber said. "And you always want to play well for them."
The Rams will be without starter Doug Gardner, who is serving a one-game suspension, according to Gamber. The coach added the suspension is non-basketball related. Luke Wilson will join the Rams starting lineup in Gardner's place.
In January, Mt. Vernon traveled to Carbondale and lost 73-44. Devontavious Payne led the Terriers with 16 points. Shamarc Bursey added 14. The Terriers got to the basket early. Sixteen of their first 19 points came on layups.
"You're not going to beat anyone like that," Gamber said. "We need Carbondale to have an off night. Nobody has an off night when they're shooting layups."
Carbondale raced to an early edge in the opening quarter and moved its advantage to double digits in the second quarter. The deficit ballooned to 31 points late.
Earlier this week Mt. Vernon piled up the points in an attacking victory over Lovejoy. Gamber said the Rams style will have to change to a slower, more patient approach against the Terriers, who are in the running for the South Seven Conference title.
Tuesday the Rams stay at home to face Effingham. Mt. Vernon lost to the Flaming Hearts earlier this season at the Salem Invitational Tournament.
"They set a bunch of screen. They run really good stuff (on offense)," Gamber said. "I think they kind of wore us down a little bit. Defensively, they took a lot of our stuff away. I think this next time around we're obviously going to have to make some pretty big adjustments."
Tonight's matchup with Carbondale starts with the junior varsity game at 6:15 p.m.

Welcome to D1
The Newburyport and Triton hockey programs will be vying for berths in the Division 1 North tournament in the 2013-14 season. Both programs recently applied for four-year commitments as Division 1 programs to the Mass. Interscholastic Athletic Association, and as of yesterday, both programs had their applications accepted.
Both Newburyport and Triton will remain in the Cape Ann League during the four-year commitment, meaning each school will play 12 Cape Ann League games each season. For the 2013-14 season, both schools will play schedules similar to the ones they played in 2012-13, since the coaches mapped out their respective schedules prior to receiving word of the Division 1 acceptance.
In future years, Newburyport coach Paul Yameen and Triton coach Drew Wile will attempt to round out their respective schedules with Division 1 opponents. Newburyport already has four or five annual games against Division 1 opponents in place.
Newburyport and Triton will be eligible for the Division 1 tournament if they win 50 percent of their games — regardless of whether they are playing Division 1 or Division 2 opponents. The only difference moving forward is that Newburyport and Triton will play its postseason games against Division 1 foes.
Plenty of additional information will be forthcoming in The Daily News.
Rugby Black Bears
Newburyport High alumnus Thomas Coffe and Amesbury High alumnus Connor Norton are members of the University of Maine rugby team. Norton, a second-year player, and Coffe, a rookie, are both enrolled in UMaine's School of Engineering. The Black Bears are 2-2 in the New England College Maine Division. Norton was a member of the 2012 state-champion Essex County Bulldog Youth Rugby Football Club.
The Davis double
Newburyport High alumna Cassaundra Davis, a junior forward on the St. Michael's field hockey team, scored twice yesterday afternoon to lead her team to a 4-0 win over Franklin Pierce University in Northeast-10 Conference play at Duffy Field.

Refrigerators use the most electricity
Check the labels before you buy
The price tag is only part of the true cost of an appliance. The balance will be paid out month by month in the form of utility bills for the life of the device. Buying the most energy-efficient model available is a good long-term strategy even if the initial cost is somewhat higher.
Manufacturers have made a good deal of progress in reducing the amount of electricity that appliances use.

|wow where did you find so much?
Like I said, pixiv. It's this japanese art site. It's great for finding pictures of any games or anime. You have to make an account if you want to look at stuff though :/
Anyway here's more that I found, actually.
Edit: Here's that Korean doujin "League of Teemo." It's really funny, especially if you're a LoL player. Also it's uncensored since it's not Japanese! Yay! Also also it reads from left to right.

Isla de Tenerife
Islas de las Canarias are a Spanish archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, 60 miles off the coast of Morocco. The islands are known as the "land of eternal spring", with great year round climbing on basalt.
Getting There
From mainland Spain, Tenerife, and Gran Canaria are 3-4 hours by airplane. There is a ferry from Cadiz that takes about 24 hours if you feel like a boat ride. A car hire is advisable as the climbing areas are mostly off the public transportation grid.

When political correctness overrules common sense - this happens. I believe the more we try to make America perfect for everyone - the less perfect - more confused - and less exceptional we become.February 19, 2013 at 3:40 p.m.
From Feb 13 column by Black Nationa Columnist Walter Williams "There are other measures these people employ in an attempt to end violence that border on lunacy. Massachusetts' Hyannis West Elementary recently warned a 5-year-old's parents that if their son made another gun from a Legos set, he'd be suspended. Elementary-school children have been suspended or otherwise disciplined for drawing a picture of a gun or pointing a finger and saying, "Bang, bang." I shudder to think about what would happen to kids in a schoolyard if they played, as I played nearly 70 years ago, "cops 'n' robbers" or "cowboys 'n' Indians." Maybe today's politically correct educators would cut the kids a bit of slack if they said they were playing "cowboys 'n' Native Americans."February 19, 2013 at 12:01 p.m.

Minto Communities' plans for 3,800 acres in western Palm Beach County called Callery-Judge Grove include not only 6,500 homes, but space for offices, retail and a 150-room hotel.
That's not all: it also wants to develop a baseball spring training facility and accommodate aerospace research and development, according to The Palm Beach Post.
This is the same land that it paid $51 million to buy last month. Developers have tried large developments in the past, but neighbors in Loxahatchee beat back their plans.
"Much of the development will be dedicated to lakes, natural preserve areas and miles of natural hiking, biking and walking trails," Minto VP John Carter said in a statement, according to The Palm Beach Post.

As we head further into Spring and with summer break getting here fast, it's often easy to forget the hungry.
Local pantries say shelves are filled around Christmas when donating becomes a priority for many area families and businesses.
Horizon Social Services Program Manager Mark Geissler runs a food pantry and soup kitchen and he says the well can run pretty dry during the warm-weather stretch.
"People really aren't thinking about the hunger so much and what's so false about it unfortunately is that this time of year is so much greater than the other times of the year," said Geissler.
Father Patrick Smith at Quincy's St. John's Anglican Parish says Operation Serve does several projects throughout the year. And, he says, whether it's tending to the garden out back or collecting canned foods, most of it is geared towards helping the hungry.
"We realize that it's a real need out there," said Smith. " A lot of people don't realize or don't understand that hunger is everywhere, including in our own community even though we don't see that. It's very real."
Geissler says every donation - no matter how small - makes a big difference.
"There's always those type of little items on sale. Grab a few or a half dozen of those items," said Geissler. "If a lot of people are doing that and bringing it in to their local food pantries that they sponsor, that would take care of a lot of needs right then and there."
If you'd like to help keep local food pantry shelves stocked, bring your donations to the Dogwood Parade.
WGEM is walking alongside Operation Serve in Saturday's parade.
Volunteers will be pushing shopping carts.
Just toss in your donations and we'll make sure they go to local food banks.
It all starts at 09:30AM Saturday and goes from 24th Street to Washington Park.

Sarandon: I'm used to producing
12:18pm Friday 20th July 2012 in Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Susan Sarandon has revealed being a mum has helped her when producing films.
The Thelma And Louise star - who has three grown up children - has production credits on Moonlight Mile, Stepmom and The Last Of The Cowboys.
She told The Guardian: "As a woman producing a family I'm used to producing, because you have to plan ahead and manage things.
"Producing a film is not that difficult; getting it sold and distributed is where there are the most problems. I come from a large family, I'm the oldest of nine children, so it seems totally understandable for me to live in chaos."
The actress also said she preferred playing the bad girl in movies.
"You get to say and do things that you never in a million years would do. And very often the bad guys are written just so much better than the good guys.
"If you look at Sister Helen in Dead Man Walking I just walk around saying constantly 'Let us pray' and 'I'm sorry' - there's so much more to play when someone is evil."

Select Route:
Classroom Bully is an extension of The Schoolhouse Route. It is an excellent route that continues up the left-hand fork of the Schoolhouse drainage after the third pitch of the Schoolhouse Route. When combined with the first 3 pitches of The Schoolhouse Route, the overall length is upwards of 9 pitches; so expect a long day out. The Classroom Bully can be seen from the South Fork road at a vantage point located about � mile before you reach the Ishawooa Mesa Trail parking lot.
2 ropes and a rack of screws are probably all that are needed for the climb; you might want to bring some webbing for the rappels. Some rock climbing gear might be optional for the Dunce�s Corner pitch.

Solvent Recovery
Hazardous waste generators performing solvent recovery operations are exempt from the hazardous waste treatment permitting requirements provided that the specific exemption criteria are being met. The rules that apply depend on where the used solvent is generated and where the distillation occurs. If distillation and generation occur in the same room, only the SAA container management rules apply and these only apply to the used solvent prior to distillation. If distillation and generation occur in different rooms, then the SAA container management storage rules apply to the used solvent located in the distillation room prior to recovery. In addition, all of the 90-day hazardous waste storage area rules, accident prevention and preparedness rules, hazardous waste contingency rules, and employee training rules apply. Stony Brook must ensure that solvent recovery operations are performed in compliance with all of the treatment exemption requirements.

We read often about the disappearances of languages. Bill Bryson, the author of "The Mother Tongue: English and How It Got That Way," estimates that currently, there are 2,700 languages; throughout history, many have died; perhaps there have been more language deaths than there are currently extant languages.
There has been a steady outcry against the sale of flavored tobacco products in recent months, and the backlash is well deserved.
The 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act banned flavors in cigarettes because of the product's appeal to youth.
But the ban doesn't currently apply to other flavored tobacco products, like cigars. The Food and Drug Administration, however, is proposing new rules that would give it authority over cigars, e-cigarettes and pipe tobacco.

For almost seven decades beginning in the 1860s, one family would dominate the social, financial and political landscape of Las Vegas and San Miguel County. Their influence would be felt throughout New Mexico, and would not end until the late 1920s.
The sons of this Las Vegas dynasty would represent territorial New Mexico in Congress, and help ensure that New Mexico was admitted to the Union.

via starsblog.dallasnews.com Jim Nill has been in Dallas for a little over one year now. He took over the position from Joe Nieuwendyk, who all in all did a pretty decent job. Nieuwendyk...
Over the last two seasons, the Dallas Stars, under two different general managers, have made two significant deals with Peter Chiarelli. Might a third be in the offing this summer?
"Under Nill's brief tenure in Dallas, the team has already begun a transformation..."
All 28 (2 are brand new) General Managers broken out by points and win percentage
Just two men account for over 1/3 of the league
All the links you could possibly want. I swear.
Some surprising teams did well for themselves and some short-handed teams sit and wait.
The weekend was marked by disappointment for many where Alain Vigneault was concerned but Stars GM Jim Nill said he was not surprised.
The NBC analyst and former Islanders and Bruins boss steps behind the Stars bench after a 14-year absence from coaching to take over for the fired Glen Gulutzan.
Will he stay or will he go? Glen Gultuzan's future could be decided in Frisco by Jim Nill and the Stars' brain trust sometime this week.

Virl Dowdy knows his bees. He has been a local beekeeper in Arizona for decades."I've been beekeeping for 30 years or more," said Dowdy.Dowdy said the culprits behind yesterday's bee attack are Africanized honey bees whose hive was disturbed."With an African hive that's grown to capacity, someone is in trouble. They'll even kill horses. They'll kill chickens, or anything around," he explained.Wednesday morning, 78-year-old Betty Gerard was stung hundreds of times in her backyard after she was swarmed by bees from a neighbor's property.Dowdy said any kind of disturbance could have caused the attack.
"Anybody throwing a rock at the hive or any kind of disturbance will disturb the African bees. They are extremely easy to make mad," he said.Dowdy said the backyard breeder whose bees stung the grandmother probably did not have the education or knowledge that his hive had been hijacked by the more vicious honey maker."(Hives will) be infiltrated all the time. You have to be on top of it all the time."According to Dowdy, the key to proper beekeeping is to constantly check on the hives and make sure a coup has not taken place, when the queen is killed by an Africanized one. "There are a lot of people that just don't know about the African bees at all," said Dowdy.If it's done properly, the bees should act as sweet as honey.
Dowdy said too many people think beekeeping is an easy profession, but it takes hard work. He is a member of the Beekeepers Association of Central Arizona (BACA), which offers free advice to those who are interested in starting in the business. The next BACA meeting takes place on Thursday, Sept. 20 at 7 p.m. at The Valley Garden Center, located at 1809 N. 15th Ave. in Phoenix.

Last July, thanks to the nice folks at Arts & Letters Live, several loyal SideDish readers were invited to a private screening of the movie Julie& Julia. I wrote a review of the movie.
The following night I attended the Arts & Letters Live program that featured the Julie Powell, the Julie who wrote the blog that the movie was based on. After the program, Julie and I had a chat. I told her I didn't like her.
I wish I could chat with Julie today. Actually, I wish I could pick up the phone and call Meryl Streep because she got screwed at the Academy Awards. Julie & Julia was not the greatest movie ever made, but Streep pulled off the bigger-than-life character of Julia Child. She took acting to another level.
Which brings me to last night. Over a plate of King Ranch casserole I watched The Blind Side. Other than Waiting to Exhale, The Blind Side is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I have nothing against Sandra Bullock—even her cute little body can't pull off tight white pants. But she was not "Best Actress" material by any stretch of the imagination.

Winchester City Council seeks to cut number of councillors
5:35pm Thursday 17th July 2014 in News
THE number of city councillors in Winchester must shrink, the Council heard.
The Local Government Boundary Commission is reviewing the size of authorities.
Winchester currently has 57 members, a figure the Labour group wanted to keep. Their amendment was rejected at full Council last night.
The Liberal Democrats wanted to retain 48 but that was voted down as well on the casting vote of the new mayor Eileen Berry, the first casting vote by a mayor in recent times.
The Tories want to the council to be cut to 45 councillors.
Cllr Stephen Godfrey, portfolio holder, said no change was not an option. "We can't retain the old numbers when all around us is reducing."
Opposition councillors argued that fewer councillors meant poorer representation for people especially in villages.

The Beverly Middle School hockey team has been setting the Viking League on fire this winter.
After finishing in first place during regular season play with a 14-0 record (16-0 overall), Beverly entered the playoffs in the eight-team league as the No. 1 seed. They crushed eighth-seeded Salem, 8-0, in the quarterfinals and will now face Swampscott in the semifinals; the winner gets either Marblehead or Byfield in the league championship game on Thursday, Feb. 27 at Salem State's Rockett Arena.
Much like their older Panther hockey players at the high school level, the Beverly Middle Schoolers have cruised through the regular season, outscoring their opponents 93-14. The team is made up of sixth, seventh and eighth graders.
"When I moved back to Beverly in 2005 my boys wanted to play hockey, but there was no program for them," said head coach Jack Mitchell, who helped found the Middle School League in 2006. He hasn't had a son on the team in the last four years, but remained involved in the program because of a desire to give back to the community. "(Rockett Arena rink manager) John O'Neill wanted to get a league going at Salem State, and (Peabody High head coach) Mark Leonard was also instrumental in helping to start it.
"The competition is great and gives the kids a chance to play together while representing their school and city. Our team takes great pride in wearing the Beverly uniform and playing with their friends. Hopefully, they'll stay together and play for the high school team."
One of the things Mitchell is proudest about is how many youngsters go on to play key roles for the Beverly High Panthers. This year only one member of the Beverly High varsity did not come up through the Middle School program. Goalies Tim Birarelli and Bryce Mitchell, as well as Teddy Leathersich, Graham Doherty, Nick Albano, Jake Straw, Bryce Mitchell, Sean Munzing, Jack Morency and Clinton Cabral, among others, all played for Mitchell and have gone on to help head coach Bobby Gilligan and the high school Panthers earn the No. 1 seed in the upcoming Division 2 North state playoffs.

The recent gangrape and beating of a 23 year old Indian woman in Delhi (and her subsequent tragic death) has shaken not only India but the world. It dominated the news in Australia, where I was visiting my family last month, along with the shocking statistic that a rape happens every 22 minutes in India. It's a grave matter because India's international reputation is now at stake and the situation has left the world waiting for answers and action to be taken.
I didn't want to write anything about the rape for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it's left me with a lot of negative feelings and I don't want to dwell on them as it will make living in India disturbing for me. Secondly, as I've previously mentioned, I've reached a stage where I feel less inclined to want to write about contentious issues in India. I've gone through a phase of "locking horns" with India and questioning how the country functions. Now, I've reached a stage of resignation. It is what it is, and as I'm not a citizen of India, it's not really my place to judge and criticise.
However, I've been asked to write something about the rape situation here in the hopes of igniting a constructive discussion, so I'll briefly share my views about it.
The simple thing to do is to just blame the men for raping — after all they're committing the act. Where's their self control? It goes deeper than that though. The core of the matter is why men think that they can keep behaving in such a way. And, the reason is because Indian society and the legal system supports such behaviour.
Take an example such as Hitler. He was the perpetrator of many horrific acts. Yet, he would never have been able to carry them out if so many people didn't support him.
In India, the rape of women is directly or indirectly supported by a range of factors including:
- the lesser status of women in society and the manner in which they are shunned if rape does happen to them.
- an ineffective legal system where women are discouraged from reporting rapes, and the rapists can get free through such means as offering bribes. India's legal system is also notoriously inefficient and long winded, and conviction rates for rapes low.
- politicians who have cases of rape and sexual harassment against them being commonplace. Political parties support them and allow them to enter politics.
It's the attitude of Indian society towards women and rape victims that's particularly disturbing. A friend of mine wrote an excellent, well researched, blog post about it.
She states:
"I was sad to discover the "11% Truth" about rape in India – or what happens to a child or woman after being a victim of a rape or incest. I surveyed and asked If a girl or woman is raped in India, will she have the same chances in life as anyone else? (for example, to find a good husband, live a normal family life, etc…). A resounding 89% of Indians believe that she never will. That means that only 11% of victims will end up leading a happy 'normal' life if anyone were to find out that she'd been raped. In part, that explains very vividly the low number of reports filed following a rape. Keeping it a secret seems like the only chance some girls have to find a good husband later."
She also reveals:
"When I asked If a girl is raped, does this bring shame – or embarrassment – onto the family of the victim? 50% of respondents answered YES. A large number of respondents left follow-up comments to that question like, "my personal answer is no, but the real answer in many Indian families would be yes." I read countless stories of village girls and women thrown out and banned from their homes after being raped. This is done to minimise damage to the family's status within the community and reduce the level of shame brought down upon them as much as possible."
From this, it is clear that the fundamentals of Indian society need to change. I dearly want to believe that the girl's death will be a catalyst for this much needed change. It's a hope that I'm clinging to because I don't want to accept the alternative — that her death will be in vain and forgotten about in years to come, and that the attitudes that support rapes and mistreatment of women will prevail.
Your thoughts on the matter?

Shortbread - traditional buttery and light
Thin Mints - Chocolate wafers with peppermint
Peanut Butter Patties - ...
You can have your cookie and eat it, too.
The annual Girl Scout cookie sale begins Sunday and this year, the scouts will have cookies in hand when a purchase is made.
Tiffany Itz plans to get out her little red wagon, fill it with boxes of cookies and make sales calls in her neighborhood.
The 12-year-old sixth-grader sold 596 boxes in 2010.
Her fellow scouts in Troop 9540, Shanna Moore and Emilia Ureste, both sold more than 1,000 boxes last year, tops in the Victoria area.
The girls' troop, a member of the Girl Scouts of Great South Texas Council, is one of 65 served by the Victoria Service Center.
Shanna, a 12-year-old seventh- grader, sold 1,016 boxes last year and Emilia, a 15-year-old in the ninth grade, sold 1,001. Shanna was also the sales leader in 2009.
"You have to be outgoing and put yourself out there and be friendly," said Shanna, who also said the cookie sales help teach business and math skills.
Emilia agreed it was a learning experience.
"You learn how to stick with something," she said. "You have to stick with it and go strong the whole time."
Terry Blevins, director of volunteer services, said, "Our cookie sale is actually a learning program, not necessarily a fund raiser, even though the troops fund their troop needs through the sale.
"The girls learn goal setting, meeting deadlines, proper etiquette to use in the public and how to run a business," Blevins said.
"After all that, they plan the best way to spend the money. Troops also use part of their profits to plan and carry out service projects within their community. It is totally Girl Scout led."
Booth sales will begin Jan. 21.
Girl Scouts of Greater South Texas serves 17,000 girls in 26 counties with service centers in the Rio Grande Valley, Laredo, Corpus Christi and Victoria.

Purchase Propecia
Male pattern baldness is responsible for around 95% of the problems that men face with hair loss. It is a condition that effects over half of the male population. And, it is a subject that most men don't want to discuss or even think about. It causes emotional stress and leaves most men with a low self esteem. Today, more and more men are choosing to purchase propecia to treat male pattern baldness.
By the age of 25, approximately 15% of men have already began to show some signs of male pattern baldness. While there is little medical evidence to prove what causes hair loss, it is known that genetics are directly responsible. Baldness can be inherited from either parent or from other family members. While there is literally nothing you can do about genetics, propecia is a proven method of treating hair loss.
Male pattern baldness is the result of a build up of DHT around the hair follicle that eventually destroys it. Dihydrotestosterone, or DHT is a byproduct that is produced by testosterone. It plays a very important role in the functions of the testicles, prostate and the central nervous system. DHT also minimizes the production of estrogen and the effects that it can have on the bodies tissues.
In clinical studies, propecia has been proven to reduce the amount of DHT that is produced. The levels of DHT are reduced in not only the blood, but also around the hair follicles. With less DHT to destroy the follicles, they can begin to grow new hair. About 80% of the men that purchase propecia have seen a noticeable improvement in the amount of hair they have.
Studies have shown that improvement can occur within just three months of starting propecia. Not only does propecia promote new hair growth, but it also reduces the amount of hair loss. So, you get to keep more of the hair you already have and see the hair you've lost being replaced. Although the results can vary for each man taking propecia, it is one of the most effective hair loss treatments on the market.
Although propecia is mainly used as an effective treatment for hair loss, it also has other uses. In some cases, your physician may give you a prescription to purchase propecia to treat an enlarged prostate. It's also occasionally prescribed for women to treat female pattern baldness. And, it can also be used to treat excessive body or facial hair.
Propecia has produced a high rate of success for millions of men around the world. It can help you to regain your self esteem, build confidence and make you look years younger. If you are suffering from hair loss, propecia may be the solution you've been searching for. And, even if you don't experience a substantial amount of new hair growth, propecia can slow the hair loss process and help you keep the hair you do have.

In the Middle Ages, you were not supposed to have sex during a lunar eclipse.
Eclipses have always astounded and/or scared us. They always seem to pop up out of nowhere to disturb the highly organized schedule of the cosmos. Europeans in the Middle Ages believed wholeheartedly that one should not get their freak on during a lunar eclipse. They claimed that "moon children" would be born with demons inside of them.
Think this is a completely outdated belief? Well, turns out that it has evolved into a modern superstition, which has it that a pregnant woman shouldn't touch her belly during a lunar eclipse. If she does, then her baby will be born with a birthmark that's size matches the force of the touch. Eclipses: making people crazy since forever.

Listeria fear sparks fruit recall
Possible listeria issues are behind the recall of several popular fruits.
Burch Farms has recalled all fruits it grew this year because of a possible listeria contamination.
The recall includes Cantaloupe and Honeydew melons.
The melons were sold in 18 states, including Maryland.
You can identify the fruit in question by stickers that say either Burch Farms or Cottle Strawberry on them.
The FDA says at this point that it's not known if anyone has gotten sick from eating the fruit.

You could watch boxing on TV in the United States starting on CBS at 4:30 p.m. until it wasn't Saturday anymore, although the schedule has been rejiggered a little. Junior featherweight Guillermo Rigondeaux lost his opponent, Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym, after he reportedly tested positive for HIV, so that fight's off. And HBO added the latest episode of "Fight Game" to the schedule, so you can watch that now too, in addition to all the other things.
But Rigondeaux will be back on HBO soon, for all those Rigondeauxiacs. He'd face an opponent to be determined on a Feb. 23 double-header with junior welterweight Timothy Bradley, who looks like he'd be facing Ruslan Provodnikov. The early 2013 calendar is already getting crowded, with the likes of Adrien Broner, Austin Trout, Paulie Malignaggi, Carl Froch and several more working on their next fights.
Round And Round
It had looked like Floyd Mayweather would face welteweight Robert Guerrero next, but the latest scuttlebutt has him facing junior middleweight Saul Canelo Alvarez. Both fights work for me, considering the options, but Alvarez is a much BIGGER fight, financially, so that doesn't surprise me. Before Manny Pacquiao lost this weekend, Mayweather's team was floating Bradley as an option explicitly because Bradley was the last person to beat (or "beat") Pacquiao and we all know how Mayweather would never piggyback off Pacquiao. But that's no longer true about Bradley. The idea would be to fight Alvarez in May, which means that Golden Boy talking about booking three fights for Mayweather in 2013 was the pump-fake to screw with Top Rank that Top Rank boss Bob Arum said it was.
Super middleweight Carl Froch would rather do a rematch with Mikkel Kessler first, then honor his rematch due to Lucian Bute afterward. I'd rather he do it in that order, too, as Froch-Kessler II is a better fight in every way than Froch-Bute II. Will Bute allow it to go down like that? I don't suppose it would hurt Froch-Bute II much if Kessler knocked off Froch, and might even make the notion of Froch-Bute II more competitive-sounding, since Froch smeared Bute so thoroughly.
I'm starting to think that Ricky Burns really doesn't want to fight Adrien Broner. The suspicion was that Burns fled junior lightweight to avoid Broner, and now that they're in the same weight class at lightweight again he's squirming away some more. The guy had a fight booked for this month, a nothing fight, and when it fell through, he booked another date in January knowing that Broner wanted to fight him Feb. 16 on HBO. It's too bad because as of now, it would be for the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board lineal championship. Instead, there's talk of Broner facing Richard Abril, which would present a different kind of challenge for Broner than he usually meets, i.e. a very clever junkballer of a boxer who could make it hard for Broner to look good. We'd learn something about Broner in that fight, at least. HBO's also trying to do a multi-fight deal with Broner, I'm guessing because Golden Boy and Al Haymon-advised fighters like Broner have largely moved to Showtime and Broner has been solid in the ratings department. The undercard would feature a rematch of Johnathon Banks-Seth Mitchell, a heavyweight bout that Mitchell really shouldn't be exercising his rematch clause for. That wasn't a fluke win or a lucky punch. That was Mitchell having a shaky chin and being inexperienced, and him needing to gain experience and figure out a way to defend said shaky chin better.
We have a pair of rescheduled fights, thanks to a pair of injuries: Super middleweight champ Andre Ward will now fight Kelly Pavlik Feb. 23 on HBO, while Devon Alexander will fight fellow welterweight Kell Brook on Showtime March 2. I could wait forever for Ward-Pavlik, but it's sad about Alexander-Brook being pushed back. I kind of like that one. Lucas Matthysse-Hank Lundy at 140 will remain on the old Alexander-Brook date on Jan. 19. That's a bad fight for Lundy, who's really a lightweight and a vulnerable one, but a fun fight while it lasts and a good enough stay-busy bout for Matthysse.
Two fights I could do without forever pit two Golden Boy fighters around their primes against two guys who ought to be retired, and one of them even was retired. Welterweight Paulie Malignaggi might be fighting Shane Mosley in April in an utter shit fight. Mosley was retired and should've been, because he hasn't won a fight since January of 2009. The other shit fight features middleweight Peter Quillin against a shot Jermain Taylor Feb. 9. I would hope Showtime and HBO would say no to these two fights respectively, because they are both useless and disgusting.
Austin Trout, coming off his big win over Miguel Cotto, is calling out a couple other bigger names in the junior middleweight division, Alfredo Angulo and James Kirkland. I'd be interested in either of those, even if Trout would be a strong favorite.
Should Amir Khan win tonight, he'd face Josesito Lopez next, which IS a good Golden Boy-engineered fight. It's not clear to me whether they'd do it at junior welterweight or welterweight. It might be a bad fight for Khan stylistically, though. If new trainer Virgil Hunter improves his defense, then maybe. But Lopez's constant pressure and inability to be hurt much (except for if he's fighting at junior middleweight, of course) are a formula for Khan taking a beating.
In April, Golden Boy (and yes, there are a lot of Golden Boy fighters in this edition — they seem busier right now than Top Rank and some of the rest) is looking at an HBO tripleheader where they would offer real tests to two of their more promising young fighters. Gary Russell, Jr. would face an authentic top-10 featheweight Jhonny Gonzalez in what figures as a nice fight for both men. And welterweight Keith Thurman would face Marcos Maidana in a fight that seemed ridiculous a while back when Thurman hadn't even been on HBO yet, but now sounds like a delicate, sensitive match-up of… JK. That's two big power punchers, right there. Welterweight Andre Berto also would be on the card against somebody.
On March 9, Bernard Hopkins would return to Showtime, against one of the same possible trio of light heavyweights he's long been contemplating, Tavoris Cloud, Beibut Shumenov and Nathan Cleverly, whom I like in that order. Also, recently-showcased on Showtime featherweight Jayson Velez would face Daniel Ponce De Leon, a solid bout.
Ronny Rios-Rico Ramos at featherweight Jan. 11 would kick off ShoBox on the right foot in 2013, after an up-and-down 2012. Rios is a legit prospect and Ramos, for as maligned as his career has become, is still an authentic contender at junior featherweight. This bout would be at 126, though.
Feb. 23, Showtime: Cornelius Bundrage would fight Ishe Smith, the exact opposite of the kind of junior middleweights he's been trying to face, namely big names who would give him lots of money, but kudos to him for taking on a tough opponent. Might be an ugly style clash, though. On the undercard would be Khabib Allakhverdiev-Humberto Soto, with Allakhverdiev coming off the first-ever defeat of Joan Guzman and Soto giving a good account of himself in a losing effort in a junior welterweight bout against Matthysse.
Junior featherweight Carl Frampton still wants Kiko Martinez, despite the fight not happening a couple times already. Now it's slated for Feb. 9. It's the right fight for Frampton's development, I think.
Junior welterweight Brandon Rios is likely to face Mike Alvarado in a sensational rematch in March, but he's also weighed in on other potential opponents. Bradley: no interest, can't sell out his hometown. *Burn of fellow Top Rank/Cameron Dunkin fighter* Danny Garcia: Yes. And he says he'd fight Garcia's dad Angel in the parking lot on the same day. Given Angel's big mouth and racist leanings, I can think of a lot of people who'd love to see Rios-Angel. Also, beating up two generations of Garcias in one day would eclipse Roy Jones, Jr.'s athletic feat of playing a basketball game the same day he won a fight. I love Brandon Rios.

Weekend of Adventure
Hello good readers! This past weekend was rife with adventure. Friday night, Shaun, Pete, and I headed out to Wallkill, NY to spend some time with Tony and Paulette and enjoy the beautiful topography of the Mohonk Reserve. The plan was for Shaun, Tony, and Paulette to do some hiking on Saturday while Pete and I did some climbing at the gunks – and oh what a perfect weekend for the outdoor activities.
Pete and I started early, arriving at the gunks around ~7am-ish. Pete started leading DisneyLand (5.6). I must admit, for a gunks climb, this one really didn't do it for me. It's even considered somewhat of a classic at the gunks – the trouble for me was the traversing*. I think it's safe to say that I loathe traversing – for me, traversing seems to exaggerate the feeling of being strung out (being far away from the last piece of gear). As a result, it's pretty scary. This was exaggerated by some unusual rope dynamics – we were using two ropes, and one had seeeerious rope drag**.
After DisneyLand, Pete led a 5.7, and I followed up by leading the first pitch of Gelsa (5.4). Despite the rating, this climb was pretty extreme. It is a quintessential gunks climb: big holds, overhanging roofs, and long pitches. The first pitch was lengthy and traversey. I found myself pretty wigged out on this 5.4 (despite a generous peppering of gear) with long steps of faith, and calf shaking maneuvers around slopey aretes***. Pete finished the route, which drove straight vertical through an exciting jagged corner.
Adding to the fun was a breathtaking hands only rappel between routes. Halfway down the rappel, the rope draped off a fierce overhang… so a hundred feet in the air you had to hang in open space and mindfully lower yourself down the rope. It's enough to make the casual climber (a title I would assign myself) hold tightly to his or her nerves.
Post climbing, I returned to Tony and Paulette's place for an epic BBQ and great times.
An amazing Saturday!
Tune in tomorrow for a Roller Derby recap!!
*Traversing is when a climber goes sideways instead of up
**Rope drag is when a rope is pulled through such a sharply angled collection of gear that the friction makes it extremely hard to pull the rope
Two. Quick.
Shamus sent me an exciting link this past weekend after having seen Jesse and me on TV. Sure enough, we were in a panning shot at the climbing gym. You'll have to pay attention, it's only for a fleeting moment. I'm wearing a yellowish shirt and belaying Jesse on the wall. I have now officially used up 3 of my 15 seconds of fame.
Shaun L. exhibited an exquisite display of Ninja reflexes this weekend. He stood in the Kitchen of Rock holding a raw egg, soon to be placed into a pot of boiling water on the stove. Somehow, the egg was dropped. Now, if I were in this situation, I would most certainly cut my losses, leap backwards, and let the egg explode. But not Shaun L. No. Shaun instead performed a masterful display of delicacy and power. As the egg fell, Shaun somehow managed to catch the egg between his leg and the cabinet. The egg survived with only the most minor of cracks. It was a remarkable feat.
Climbing pics!
Just a few quick pictures from Sunday's climbing adventure at Ragged Mnt.
Trad climbing works by placing gear into the rock as you climb. Here's a nut Pete placed halfway up the climb above.
If Pete were to fall, the nut would jam itself into the rock and act as an anchor.
We did three quick routes. I had to convince Pete not to bother with Carey Corner – which is a nasty off width. UGH. I hate off widths.
Pete's considering heading out to Red Rocks next season. Perhaps I'll join him. It's a different league of climbing.
Bouldering Comp
The Bouldering Competition video has gone through!
I must say, I did a poor job with the file management and the movie ended up losing quality through compression. I'm going to have to figure out a new system of editing and saving movies so that they retain their super-crisp feel. All that aside, here's the winner of the 2010 men's bouldering competition at Prime Climb.

Bouldering Competition
On Saturday, Sander, Shaun, Vivienne, Darcy, and I went to Prime Climb's bouldering competition to watch the climbers in all their glory. It was a perfect way to get pumped about rock climbing. We arrived just in time for the finals. The finals consisted of three bouldering problems which each of three competitors would attempt to vanquish.
The ladies were up first.
Each competitor was given five minutes to take on each problem. Each time you fell, it would be noted on the scorecard. Whoever gets the furthest in the climb wins, if two people reach the same point than he or she who did it with fewer falls wins.
The challengers are not allowed to watch each other climb. That way they won't learn anything important about the route before their turn.
I recognized two of the three women competing. The same was not the case with the men climbers. While one of the men in the finals is a student at local college Wesleyan, I believe the other two are sponsored climbers from out of state.
The top men climbers were ripped to an unholy degree. Their backs were extremely defined.
I'm currently putting together a video (hopefully to be posted tomorrow) that shows the true ridiculousness of the third male climber (first place winner) cleaning the final route in the competition.
Stay tuned.
Quality Climbing
I've been very pleased with my gym climbing over the last week. Last night I was trying hard to keep things smooth and calculated on the walls. I find it much easier to run through a route desperately than to try and plan and perform the moves statically. For me, getting a route so it's graceful is nearly as rewarding as finally sending a project I've been working on for weeks.
It's funny, when there are a few minutes of break at the gym I'll often take a seat on the couches there and flip through a climbing magazine. Usually there's some 5.14 junkie talking about climbing and how there's some natural (or super-natural) spiritual bond between man and rock, or how climbing is purification for the soul.
While I appreciate how strong their passion is for climbing, I can't help but also think that talk of zen and feeling at one with the rock is a bit pretentious. I think it's easy to confuse spirituality and just general relaxation. That said…
I think I've mentioned on this blog before how John Gill, the father of modern bouldering, once talked about how deep training in climbing could, as Jon Krakauer describes in his book Eiger Dreams, "induce a telekinetic ability to levitate, if only slightly." Krakauer continues: "Many of those climbers [who were listening] might ordinarily be inclined to scoff when talk turns to telekinesis and the like, but when Gill talks about levitation they listen very, very carefully."
Lamentation Mountain
This weekend saw some tennis, some board games, and some kung fu – but the real fun was a Sunday afternoon trip out to Lamentation Mountain. It turns out that there's a beautiful part of Meriden that I hadn't visited before. There's a park and a ton of trails in addition to a little remote climbing crag. The cliff is nothing that's overwhelmingly amazing, – maybe 20-25 climbs, at 50 or so feet tall – but I think it has potential. The climbs are comfortably despite their simplicity and tendency to be overgrown with greenery.
Since this was our first trip there, Jesse, Joel, and I had to hike the bottom of the crag to find out the best spot for our rope. It was a bit of a harrowing trip down a gully of leaves and loose rock, but the immediate base of the cliff face was pretty clean. There were a few other really steep cliffs at the park, but I think a few of them might be quarries, or extremely hard to get to. We climbed a 5.8 while there. It was enjoyable, though I think it'd be wise to heed the advice of the book and only consider this location in the early spring or late fall when there's less heavy foliage. Overall though, a successful trip!
Last night I had a bit of a scheduling screw up that resulted in my going climbing instead of to Kung Fu. The night was not wasted however, as I tried a bunch of new climbs. The highlight was a 5.12 that, though a bit reachy, had some really exciting desperate moves within its sequence. Not desperate like consistent huge dynos – though there is one of those – but more like difficult to the point where you can begin to feel holding-failure within your fingers.
I think my favorite part of climbing is managing to stick a hold right at the cusp of defeat. Or struggling through a series of brutal slopers to snag the monster jug at the end. Yes, it's flirting with the edge of collapse that makes me appreciate climbing the most.

40 famous Belarusians condemned metropolitan Pavel's appointment
10:11, — Society
In their address to the nation representatives of Belarusian community spoke against the appointment of metropolitan Pavel as the head of Belarusian Orthodox Church.
According to the authors of the address, Moscow completely ignored the interests of the people, Belarusian Orthodox Church and even the authorities of Belarus, who wanted for a representative of Belarusian clergy to become the Patriarchic Exarch, Radio Svaboda reports.
The statement's authors link the appointment of metropolitan Pavel to the Russian loan.
- Exarch Pavel is not a citizen of Belarus and does not speak the national language, which blatantly violates the legislation. But what only cannot be done for the sake of retaining power.
Now we may avoid a default, but at the expense of spiritual slavery, denationalization of Belarus, losing our sovereignty and national peculiarity – language, culture, genuine history and our own ecclesiastical architecture, - the statement reads.
Among the signatories are artists Hienadz Drazdou, Alaksiej Marachkin and Ales Cirkunou, a historian Ihar Kuzniacou and a linguist Lavon Barshcheuski.
We would remind that the synod of Russian Orthodox Church on 25 December 2013 appointed Razan and Mikhailovo metropolitan Pavel the head of Belarusian Orthodox Church.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This route is a solid test piece and the best route of its grade at the Tor. The movement will definitely make you Happy and none of the moves are harder than 5.9, but they stack up quick. With a crux at the end and a lot of different ways to pull it you will be happy to lower off and tie back in and try it again. The best way I've found to do it is just "Lock It Off".

Amanda Knox Trial: Lawyers Make Final Arguments, Verdict to Be Given by End of January
- Jessica Michele Herring | firstname.lastname@example.com

Both the defense and the prosecution gave their final arguments in the Amanda Knox murder trial on Monday.
Defense lawyers argued that the acquittal of Knox, 26, should stand, pointing out the irregularities from the prosecution.
Knox and her former boyfriend, Italian citizen Raffaele Sollecito, had already served four years in prison for the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher, a British student who was found raped and murdered in the home she shared with Knox in Perugia, Italy.
The conviction was overturned in 2011, and Knox returned to her home state of Washington. Italy's highest court then ordered a retrial after questioning aspects of the first appellate trial, including the poor handling of forensic evidence by police.
Defense lawyers and prosecutors each had 30 minutes to make their cases, according to USA Today. Prosecutors asked for 26 years in jail for Knox and Sollecito, which is the maximum 30-year sentence minus the four already served. They also asked for four additional years for slander for Knox, who initially said the killer may have been Patrick Lumumba, a bar owner who knew Knox and Kercher when they were students.
Sollecito's attorney said the pair were falsely blamed by authorities to calm fears that "a monster was loose" in the university town.
When the verdict comes down, it must be approved by Italy's highest court. Knox, who was not required to be at the trial, said she would not go back to Italy if the verdict is not in her favor.
"Legally I'll be defined as a fugitive, but I will continue to fight for my innocence," she told Italian journalists in early January. "I will not willingly submit myself to injustice."
If convicted, Italy will ask the U.S. State Department to turn Knox over to Italian authorities. If she travels to another country that has an extradition treaty with Italy, she will be at risk of being sent back.
"This whole trial has been messy, but that will seem like noth ing compared to the problems that could emerge with a guilty verdict from this trial," said Massimo Lanzoni, a legal procedures expert at the University of Rome.
Most Italians are ready for the lengthy trial to come to an end.
"It's embarrassing this has gone on so long," said Angelo Gella, a 55-year-old newsstand owner in Rome. "I don't know if they [Knox and Sollecito] should be guilty or innocent, but it's already a kind of punishment for them that this keeps dragging on."
Tony Renzo, 23, an American student who participated in a study abroad program, agreed with Gella.
"This story is like a nightmare for students abroad," he said. "It's so frightening to think about getting arrested in a foreign country."
The verdict is expected no sooner than Jan. 30.
