Robinson Masonry Heater in Portland, OR
Big Bear Camp Barrel Oven
We were very happy to get hired by our neighbors Hal and Tonia of Big Bear Camp to lead a workshop to build a Barrel Oven. We took the opportunity to make our first glass door for the Barrel Oven Kit and are thrilled by the result. We think it speaks for itself….
In its last year of existence, the oven has already cooked food for a number of monthly neighborhood pizza parties, been part of the October menu for the Epicurean Bears Club, as well as helped prepare the feast for a pre-Thanksgiving get-together. We love seeing the glow of the fire as the food is cooking. Hal and Tonia report that they often just sit with the oven and a cup of tea as it is pre-heating. Stay tuned for a post about the neighborhood kids and their Big Bear Camp Barrel Oven baked gingerbread houses!

Blacksmithed Shelf Brackets
I am excited about these recent results from the metal shop. I'd like to make more of these for this holiday season and have them both in stock and as something of value that I can take to fairs, exchanges, etc. Shelf brackets are a great way to mount shelves and so many of the options available at the hardware store are not as solid as you would like them to be.
Masonry Heater in Bend, OR
Masonry heaters are a relatively new tradition in North America. We do not have the same tactile memory that many Europeans do of experiencing the warm, thorough heat. As such, many of us builders spend a lot of time educating potential clients. This was not the case with the Allens!
This was their fourth masonry heater in as many homes! They knew exactly what they wanted and knew all of the benefits of living with a masonry heater from their many years of experience with them. Their first heater was a "Russian" heater and their second two were built from Tempcast kits. Although satisfied with the Tempcasts they had, they hired us because they were interested in the Masonry Heater Association's 5-run design due to its compact footprint and top-venting chimney.

Have you ever heard of Earthships? The term refers to a grouping of design principles that aims to make houses as self-sufficient as possible. They were pioneered by a man named Michael Reynolds, a creative architect genius from New Mexico, who wanted to move away from homes being consumer boxes that demand resources like water and electricity from a grid and require connections to such things as septic dumps and trash collection. Instead, he made concepts such as rain-water harvesting and storage, grey water treatment, micro-power generation and extreme passive solar design for heating and cooling shape the form and function of "earthship" homes. The specifics of his design principles are honed for the climate of the southwest which includes very cold but sunny winter days and a scarcity of water. I have always felt it an interesting challenge to understand how we might apply these same principles to other climates. In the Pacific Northwest where we live, for example, the sun rarely shines in the winter time but the forests that abound are extreme accumulators for the solar energy that shines during the rest of the year. As we worked on this project, influenced by the clients' affinity for earthship design and a shared interest in applying these ideas to our bioregion and our lifestyles, I came to see the masonry heater we were building both as this vessel's navigation deck from which they will be able to stay warm and steer through the colder parts of the year.
This masonry heater was built at the home of James Reismiller (owner of Abundant Solar) and Cassandra Robertson (environmental engineer and excellent singer-songwriter). They did a great job of researching and planning for this heater. The outside air source and reinforced foundation had already been installed before we were brought on. In fact, the house was pretty much completed except for this central element. They wanted a heater that would flow with their modern clean lines and be consistent with an ecological way of building. They wanted to heat water, they wanted an all-season bake oven, and they wanted a configuration of heated benches that would flow well with their stairs as sitting space for house concerts. So…. we got to work and designed and built the heater.
It is based on the Contraflow with the 22″ replaceable firebox from the Masonry Heater Association Plan Portfolio. The interesting design challenge was to both provide for the heated benches as well as preserve access to the ash box, especially while needing to meet the low height of the second stair which meant that the bench's flue could not cross above the access to the ash drawer. The utility room which houses their hot water tanks for distributed radiant floor heating and domestic hot water is directly the other side of the back wall so the natural thermosiphon loop for the hot water was very simple and straight forward. The bricks we used for the facing were very dense recycled pavers that beautifully reveal the flame patterns of the kiln they were fired in. The bench and trim details are soapstone that were cut and polished on site from slabs that were seconds at a counter top shop.
Stay tuned for photos with fire as well as possibly a stop-motion video of the process!
This heater begs to make gracious acknowledgment to the following:
- Cassandra and James for the opportunity to participate in their home's construction and their hospitality.
- Dylan Boye for his hard work, precision in cutting, and general assistance.
- Kiko Denzer for his assistance especially in laying out and cutting the soapstone
- Eva for coming at the end and helping to finish up and giving it her special pretty touch.
- Marcus Flynn of Pyromasse for his generous documentation, tutorials and correspondence. See this great tutorial on how-to-build a jack arch.
- Norbert Senf of Masonry Stove Builders and Steve Bushway of Deerhill Masonry for their readiness to offer advice especially in the design stage… and to the whole MHAMembers chat list for great discussion which contributed enormously at various points in the build.

Williams, Sanchez, and Austin crack Keith Law's midseason top 50 prospects listPosted by: | Comments
In an Insider-only piece, Keith Law published his midseason top 50 prospects list today. SS Jurickson Profar of the Rangers, who put on a show in the Futures Game by homering from the left side of the plate and singling from the right side, claimed the top spot to what should be no one's surprise. RHP Dylan Bundy and SS Manny Machado, both of the Orioles, round out the top three. Some big things are happening in Baltimore.
The Yankees placed three players on the list, led by OF Mason Williams at #21. "He was recently promoted to High Class A after posting an .848 OPS in a half-season at Charleston," wrote KLaw. "Williams earns a lot of raves from scouts between the tools and his general feel for the game, especially on defense." Mason ranked 34th on Law's preseason list, so he made a modest jump into the top 25. I'm not sure how much higher he can rank unless he taps into some hidden power at some point.
C Gary Sanchez wasn't too far behind Williams at #28, and Law says he's "improved markedly on defense to the point where you can picture him remaining behind the plate long term, and the bat should make him an MVP candidate if he does stay there." Now that sure is good to hear, the defense has always been the long-term question with Sanchez. He doesn't need to be a Gold Glover, just adequate. Law notes that Sanchez is primed for yet another jump up the rankings after making the leap from #55 in his preseason list.
The third Yankees farmhand to crack the top 50 is OF Tyler Austin at #45. "[He can] really hit, with a balanced swing and some pull power already, although when I caught him early this season, he was struggling a little to make adjustments to changing speeds, something that has improved in the last two-plus months," said Law in his write-up. Austin was unranked in the preseason list and obviously made a huge jump thanks to his big full season league debut.
For comparison's sake, Baseball America ranked Williams, Sanchez, and Austin as the 28th, 30th, and 39th best prospects in baseball in their recent midseason top 50 list, respectively. Good to see we have a bit of a consensus on where these three rank in terms of the bigger picture. LHP Manny Banuelos and several other injured pitchers were ineligible for Law's list, but I confirmed with him that Manny would have cracked the top 50 if healthy. RHP Dellin Betances is healthy but obviously wasn't close to the top 50, especially after ranking just 83rd before the season. Either way, three and potentially four top 50 guys is pretty darn good.
Injury Updates: Gardner, Joba, BanuelosPosted by: | Comments
Injury updates? Injury updates!…
- Brett Gardner (elbow) will take dry swings at some point this weekend, his first time doing any sort of serious baseball activity since suffering his second setback. If all goes well during his latest rehab attempt, he's expected back at the end of the month. [George King]
- Joba Chamberlain (elbow, ankle) faced six batters during a 25-pitch simulated game this morning. He struck out three, walked one, and allowed a hit. He and the team will get together to discuss the next step, which could be a minor league rehab game. [Mark Didtler]
- Austin Romine (back) caught Joba today. Two days ago we heard that he still a few weeks away from returning to game action. [Didtler]
- David Aardsma (elbow) has not resumed throwing and is still awaiting test results after feeling pain in his surgically repaired right elbow about a week ago. [Didtler]
- Pedro Feliciano (shoulder) continues to throw bullpen sessions and figures to begin facing hitters in live batting practice at some point soon. [Didtler]
- Manny Banuelos (elbow) has been throwing in Tampa for a few weeks now according to Dellin Betances. The two are close friends. Still no timetable for Manny's return, however. [Josh Norris]
Williams ranks 24th on Law's midseason top 25 prospects listPosted by: | Comments
It's only late-May, but Keith Law posted an updated list of the top 25 prospects in the minors today (subs. req'd). RHP Dylan Bundy of the Orioles claims the top spot with OF Bryce Harper now in the big leagues, and Baltimore also owns the number three prospect in SS Manny Machado. SS Jurickson Profar of the Rangers is sandwiched between them at number two.
OF Mason Williams check in at #24, up ten spots from KLaw's preseason ranking. "He's not walking, but he's also making a ton of contact, and he's barely begun to fill out physically," he wrote. "There's a lot of projection involved in this ranking but he's a favorite of many scouts (and of me) because of the substantial upside here." LHP Manny Banuelos was ineligible for the list because he's on the DL, but I confirmed with Law that he would have made the top 25 as well. He ranked 23rd on the preseason list.
Update: Banuelos' sore elbow not considered seriousPosted by: | Comments
5:01pm: Via Norris, Banuelos did go for an MRI and it came back clean. It's more of a "tired arm" than actual soreness, apparently.
2:30pm: Via Josh Norris, left-hander Manny Banuelos was placed on the Triple-A disabled list for precautionary reasons and his sore left elbow is not considered serious. Banuelos and Eduardo Nunez (sore thumb) both hit the shelf just yesterday. It's been a pretty brutal season for pitching injuries, so this is welcome news. Hopefully it remains nothing serious and Manny can get back on the mound relatively soon.
Update: Nunez & Banuelos placed on Triple-A disabled listPosted by: | Comments
6:56pm: Via Mike Vander Woude, it's a sore left elbow for Banuelos. Yuck.
6:00pm: Via Chad Jennings and Donnie Collins, infielder Eduardo Nunez and left-hander Manny Banuelos have both been placed on the 7-day DL in Triple-A. Nunez hurt his thumb a few days ago but it's unclear what's up with Banuelos. Perhaps the lat issue that shelved him a few weeks ago popped back up. Both guys could technically return this weekend, but we'll see.
Mailbag: Robertson, Nunez, Banuelos, LeftiesPosted by: | Comments
Five questions and four answers this week, and I tried to keep it short but mostly failed. Remember to use the Submit A Tip box in the sidebar if you want to send us anything, mailbag questions or otherwise.
Shaun asks: Do you guys think David Robertson will automatically get the closer's job when he returns? I hope Rafael Soriano flourishes in the role he is most comfortable and we can have Robertson back to Houdini!
That's exactly what I hope happens. I want Soriano to pitch well regardless of inning, but I hope he really takes to the closer role and dominates so they can use Robertson a little more liberally in the seventh and eighth innings. The Yankees did bump Soriano back to the seventh inning following his DL stint last season because Robertson was dominant, so I hope history kinda sorta repeats itself.
Jay asks: What team has a need for 2nd base? I would think Eduardo Nunez could start on a lot of teams and contribute; just as the Yankees are thinking, putting him in one position could help his defense.
Middle infielders around baseball are just awful these days, so I'm sure a number of clubs would have interest in Nunez as an everyday guy despite his complete lack of defensive value. I know I'd rather take a chance on him than sign someone like the recently released Orlando Hudson.
Nunez has a 95 wRC+ in 450 career big league plate appearances, so he's fallen just short of league average offensive production. His career Triple-A performance is similar and that's basically the guy you're going to get. Nunez will hit for a average but not power, make a ton of contact, and steal a bunch of bases. That's what most middle infielders do, though at least he offers a chance at improvement at 25 years old. He's still two years why of his peak, in theory.
The problem with trading Nunez right now is that his value is way down. The Yankees had to send him down because his defense was unplayable and that dropped his stock. We know other clubs — specifically the Mariners and Braves — have had interest in him in the past and I'm sure they've love to buy low now. Unless we're talking about a multi-player package to acquire a star-caliber player, the Yankees are probably better off holding on to Nunez rather than take whatever uninteresting prospects clubs offer in a trade.
Tim asks: Chances or what do you think of the inconsistent Ivan Nova being sent down and Banuelos put in the NYY rotation in his place?
Jeff asks: Is it insane to think that Manny Banuelos can pitch his way into the big league rotation sometime this year?
Gonna lump these two together and will start with the Banuelos part. Yes, I think he could pitch his way into the rotation later this season. I thought there was a chance he would do it last year, but then he had to pull a Dellin Betances impression with the walk rate. Banuelos' performance has been very encouraging following his return from the lat injury — 15 strikeouts an zero walks in 14.2 IP — but he's not out of the woods yet. Three starts don't erase the last year's worth of command problems. He's got to continue to show improvement and if he keeps looking like the Banuelos of old (meaning 2008-2010), then I could definitely see him cracking the rotation in the second half.
As for Nova, I also think there's a chance he could be sent down at some point. Heck, they send him down for less last summer. Obviously this right foot and ankle injury complicates things a bit, but he had a very obvious problem leaving pitches up and thus getting hammered for extra-base hits before the injury. Nova leads the league extra-base hits allowed (32) and has allowed eleven (!) more than any other pitcher who's made no more than seven starts. Hopefully he shakes off the ankle problem and starts getting pitches down, but if he doesn't improve and we're in the middle of June or something, an assignment to Triple-A has to be a consideration. If Banuelos happens to keep pitching well and shows improved command, he'd be the obvious candidate to take Nova's spot.
Shai asks: Why are good lefty starters worth more than good righty starters? Aren't there more (good) righty hitters in baseball? I understand the value of a LOOGY but shouldn't righty starters be worth more?
It's just a supply and demand thing. There's roughly a 75-25 split between righties and lefties around the league these days (both starters and reliever), so there are just fewer quality left-handers to be had. Lefties are an even higher prior for the Yankees than other teams because of the short right field porch at Yankee Stadium. That's really all there is to it. There are fewer great lefties around than great righties, so the southpaws are more valuable. Same reason great shortstops are more valuable than great first baseman.
Yanks place Manny Banuelos on Triple-A disabled listPosted by: | Comments
The Yankees have placed top prospect Manny Banuelos on Triple-A disabled list with a sore back. Brian Cashman told George King that the left-hander is expected to miss one start with a lat issue, so at least it's not a disc. Banuelos, 21, walked six in two innings last night and was underwhelming in his previous start, so hopefully this back issue explains it and he can move on.
Poll: The 2012 Prospect WatchPosted by: | Comments
If you've been reading RAB long enough, you're well aware of our annual Prospect Watch. The idea is simple. We pick a prospect, and throughout the regular season we track his progress in the sidebar, specifically his most recent (i.e. last game) and overall season performance. Past Prospect Watch subjects include Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain, Andrew Brackman, Jesus Montero, and last year, Manny Banuelos. Needless to say, some years have been better than others.
Rather than just pick a prospect and run with it this year, we're going to try to something new. For the first time ever, you folks will be able to pick our 2012 Prospect Watch candidate by voting in the poll at the end of the post. As you can tell from our previous watches, we're looking for star power here. Solid and consistent is nice and all, but the Prospect Watch is all about holy crap performances. The occasional 4-for-5 with two doubles and a homer out of Montero made all the 0-for-4 with two strikeouts worth it.
I've taken the liberty of picking five candidates for this year's prospect watch, all of whom are among the team's seven best prospects. They're all slated to spend the season in a full season league as well, which is key. With all due respect to Ravel Santana, no one feels like waiting until the NY-Penn League season kicks off in late-June for the Prospect Watch to go up. Here are those five candidates, listed alphabetically with a short little blurb…
Manny Banuelos, LHP
We've never had a two-time Prospect Watcher, but I'm not opposed to idea at all. That's just the way things shook out in the past. Armed with a new cutter, Banuelos is scheduled to start the year with Triple-A Scranton and is poised to join Joba as the only player to go from RAB Prospect Watch to the big leagues in the same season.
Dante Bichette Jr., 3B
The Yankees first round pick just last season, Bichette took home Rookie Level Gulf Coast League MVP honors last year and will start his first full pro season with the Low-A Charleston River Dogs. He's an all-around hitter with patience and power, capable of long hit streaks and long homers.
Jose Campos, RHP
Acquired from the Mariners as part of the Montero-Michael Pineda swap, Campos destroyed the Short Season Northwest League last year and will join Bichette in Charleston. His big fastball and surprisingly excellent command should lead to a ton of performances DIPS disciplines will love. That means lots of strikeouts and few walks.
Gary Sanchez, C
With Montero gone, Sanchez is now the best hitter in the organization. Last year with Charleston he hit the same number of homers (17) as Montero did at the same level in 2007, just in 226 fewer plate appearances. Sanchez could spend the first few weeks of the season back with the River Dogs, but a trip up to High-A Tampa seems inevitable at some point this summer.
Mason Williams, CF
Williams isn't just another cog in what figures to be a dynamite Low-A lineup in 2012, he's going to set the table and bat leadoff. His huge showing with Staten Island last season vaulted him up prospect lists, and now he's the Yankees best all-around position player prospect.
* * *
The minor league seasons begins next Thursday, the day before the Yankees open their 2012 regular season in Tampa. The poll will remain open through the weekend. Thanks in advance.
Manny Banuelos' new toyPosted by: | Comments
Via Conor Foley, Manny Banuelos broke out a new cutter during his minor league start today. He's been working on the pitch on the side, but today was the first time he used it in a game situation.
Guys like Andy Pettitte, Mark Buehrle, Kenny Rogers, Cliff Lee, Ted Lilly, John Danks, and Jamie Moyer are what I pathetically call Four-C lefties, meaning they rely on a cutter, changeup, curveball, and command. Those types of pitchers traditionally have a lot of success in the bigs and remain effective for as long as they stay healthy. If the cutter sticks, Banuelos is going to be cut from the same cloth, and that's exciting.
Banuelos among spring's most impressive prospectsPosted by: | Comments
Earlier this week we heard about the buzz David Phelps has been generating this spring, but he's not the only Yankees farmhand drawing attention. Kevin Goldstein posted a list of young Grapefruit League players that have been impressing this month, and Manny Banuelos made the cut. You can read the article on either ESPN or Baseball Prospectus, but you need a subscription for both.
"I had not seen [Banuelos] since last spring, and he just looks strong and more poised," said a scout to KG. "He's 93-96 mph and showing three above-average pitches right now. I saw (Michael) Pineda the following day, and while I know that's not the same Pineda we saw last year, based just on those two looks, I'd take Banuelos." Manny got hit around quite a bit the other day, his first hiccup of 2012. He's ticketed for the stacked Triple-A rotation, but I have to think the Andy Pettitte signing hurts his chances of seeing the show in 2012.

Live at Leeds 2012
Submitted by Jaguar on 2012, May 6 - 1:19pm
It was a pretty good line up!
Headlining the event were Ladyhawke (who I LOVE), Marina and the Diamonds (meh, she is okay), Los Campesinos (pretty cool), The Subways (hmm kinda outdated right?) and The Enemy (wait, aren't these are even more outdated? ha ha).
Highlights include: Chew Lips, Friends (my personal favourite), Niki and the Dove, Spector (well I personally can't stand this band - but a lot of people are raving about them right now).
Of course this applies to all multi venue festivals - I wish there were more of them in the UK I really do. Some of my favourite festivals, like Moog and SXSW, all go for that set up. It is much more interesting than being stuck in one place.
What do you guys think of this festival and indeed other venues which take place across a whole town / city, rather than in one select venue?
And once again, if you did go to Live at Leeds 2012, please do tell us your thoughts! Did you catch any amazing unsigned artists we should all look out for?

|Taj Mahal and The International Rhythm Band Personell:

The quality of this recording is the result of the Direct To Disc recording process. This compact disc was digitally mastered from the original master lacquer cut at the recording session, capturing the complete and unedited musical performance.
|Here, Kip Hanrahan using texts from the contemporary author Ishmael Reed, distributes the composing duties to everyone from Lester Bowie to Taj Mahal to Allen Toussaint, mixes a heady instrumental gumbo, and allows things to percolate to a fine boil. The cast of musicians is certainly of all-star quality, but special mention should be made of trumpeter Olu Dara for some heart-rending beautiful playing, Taj Mahal for his wonderful, raspy vocal delivery, and the entire cast of percussionists, astounding in their diversity of attacks. The pieces tend toward relaxed pop forms with vocals and approachable structures but always sporting a sharply honed edge, both in their musical form and in the pointed lyrical observations that are philosophical while retaining street-level grit.

Two songs on the cd were written by remarkable women who helped shape American folk music: Elizabeth Cottons granddaughter Janine, wrote Shake Sugaree, Elizabeth played and arranged the definitive version of Shake Sugaree. Etta Baker wrote Railroad Bill. Taj has chosen songs that appeal to a childs sense of imagination, creativity, and desire to learn.

59 E. 59th St.
New York, NY 10022
Category: Theaters
Region: East 50s
At a Passover celebration, guests are made to ask, "Why is this night different from all other nights?" At a Charles Busch play, it isn't hard to find answers: There's the droll dialogue, the B-movie pastiche, the fevered pace, the camp sensibilities, the drag performances that aren't a drag in the least. In Busch's latest opus, Olive and the Bitter Herbs, which plays out during a Passover meal, over-the-hill actress Olive (Marcia Jean Kurtz) has a lot on her seder plate. Having peaked in the '80s with a sausage commercial, she must now contend not only with finding work, but also with a ghost lingering in her mirror and a bevy of neighbors interested in the phantom. Director Mark Brokaw is sure to leaven the action at the Primary Stages premiere, co-starring Julie Halston, Dan Butler, Richard Masur, and David Garrison.
Tuesdays-Thursdays, 7 p.m.; Fridays, Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Sundays, 3 p.m.; Wed., Aug. 24, 2 p.m.; Wed., Aug. 31, 2 p.m. Starts: July 26. Continues through Sept. 3, 2011

What a joke. I hope Tebow starts and gets destroyed. Double the sacks McElroy took, and twice as intense a beating. Send every one of these dopes limping home for the offseason. Just wish Rex could get flattened by a rampaging DE, too.

What a joke. I hope Tebow starts and gets destroyed. Double the sacks McElroy took, and twice as intense a beating. Send every one of these dopes limping home for the offseason. Just wish Rex could get flattened by a rampaging DE, too.
Personally, I think we should rotate the QBs each play. McElroy gets first down, Tebow gets 2nd, and then Sanchez has 3rd down to work his magic. It's a win-win-win! I suspect this is what Sporano is leaning towards.
tebow is the best qb on the roster its a no brainer. but wait rex doesnt have a brain only a mouth.
This is an interesting albeit scary question of who to start if McElroy was too injured to go on Sunday. Fortunately, it's also hypothetical as McElroy is fully practicing and will start vs the Bills.
Cut Tebow on Monday or sooner. Send Sanchez to a shrink or hypnotist this off season. Ideally sign a vet, I guess. And then let Sanchez, Mac, and the vet fight it out next summer. This won't result in our having a top tier QB next season, but i think that's the reality. And meanwhile keep adding other pieces and looking for who can be the long term answer at qb
Start Sanchez. We lose, it's a win win.
GMac will start
Sanchez will back up
Timmy the Turd will pack his garbage bag and head out of town on Monday
What a great opportunity for the windbag Ryan!
If he starts Tebow and Tebow plays well, perhaps they could entice a team to trade for Tebow. Rex could answer critics postgame questions about "why" he didn't play Tebow at QB sooner, by simply stating that one game does not a trend make, or Buffalo is "down" this year, the team played loose and carefree football, etc.
Then again, if Tebow stinks it up as the starter vs. Buffalo, then Ryan's apparent steadfast refusal to use Tebow this season as a QB is vindicated based on the "fact" that Tebow does indeed "suck".
The "flim-flam man" cannot lose face at all by starting Tebow.
thankfully Useless Timmy is not starting and hopefully not playing
He needs to be heading to the airport early on Monday so you don't want him tiring himself out by losing yardage on running plays and throwing the ball to points unknown on passing plays
But I have to ask this, do you REALLY think if given the same chance as your once-predicted future HOFer, Sanchez, to start the same number of games, that Tebow wouldn't have been able to win 5 lousy games like Mark?
I still have no idea how that cancer McEroy is even still on the team. Hope his dog pisses in his helmet.
What if Tebow starts and plays great? What kind of mess does that create? Does that help the Jets get a better draft pick for him or does it make the Jets look stupid for not playing him all season? I don't see any positives without the negatives there.
One problem with Tebow is that even if he was an effective NFL QB, it's hard to imagine him being effective enough to compensate for the media circus he creates. Let's throw out a couple for instances. If Mark Sanchez carried that level of media circus, would he be worth it? Definitely no. How about Joe Flacco? Pretty surely no. What about Tony Romo? Or Eli Manning? I still say no.
Tom Brady? Aaron Rodgers? Brees or Peyton Manning? Ok...now we are talking and they are great enough on the field to make the media ridiculousness worth it in my hypothetical scenario.
All that aside, and I guess on a related note, we also now know that Tebow is clubhouse cancer like Holmes, Randy Moss, TO, etc. now that we know he refused to play when told he wasn't starting. So he's a diva who has also drawn out criticisms from teammates from Denver and the Jets.
Very much not worth it, even if he was a good NFL QB

I knew I shouldn't have read the comments on the video. I knew they'd only succeed in pissing me off.
You know what? Mara is gorgeous. Freaking GORGEOUS. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with mentioning it, either.But very few of these comments mention anything about her performance, which was just as stunning as she is. That maniacal laugh of hers? Friggin' GREAT.
I was almost disappointed with the internet… until I realized that it was myself who I should be mad at. I expected better, which was clearly very foolish of me.

The Hidalgo Pirates finally got a win as they rolled over the Juarez-Lincoln Huskies 21-7 Thursday night in La Joya. The Huskies are still looking for their first win as they drop to 0-5.
The Pirates got on the board first and continued to put pressure on the Huskies defense with a steady diet of slashing runs up the middle by running back J.D. Rodriguez and two very nice 30-plus yard catches by wide receiver Jonathan Cantu. The Pirates held a comfortable, if not huge, 14-0 lead after Silvestre Gutierrez scampered into the end-zone with 48 seconds left in the first half.
Hidalgo running back Joseph Meyers put the Pirates even further out of reach of the hapless Huskies with a darting 15-yard run up the middle to make it 21-0. The rest of the third and fourth quarters were uneventful and both teams struggled with turnovers. The game was all but over when the Huskies finally punched it in with a 12-yard run by Josio Villareal to make the score a bit more respectable.
Hidalgo's next game will be against Mercedes who, the following week, will then face Juarez-Lincoln who hopes their upcoming bye week will be rejuvenating.blog comments powered by Disqus

Campaigners claim that David Cameron is trying to 'face two ways at once' with his promise—made on Monday 21 July—that all Whitehall departments would buy locally sourced food wherever possible from 2017. According to the World Development Movement, the plan has been presented as part of a package of measures aimed at boosting British agriculture, but conflicts with his active support for an EU-US free trade deal known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).
In negotiations on the deal the EU, backed by Cameron, is pushing the US to abandon schemes which currently allow government departments to prioritise American products. The EU wants to force open procurement practices to tougher international competition—something campaigners fear will water down quality standards on a range of products.

The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir who got suck in an Ikea Wardrobe
By Romain Puértolas
Publisher: Random House Canada
For readers of The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared, a funny, charming, feel-good story about a fake fakir from India who arrives in France to shop at IKEA and unwittingly embarks on a European tour like no other. Meet Ajatashatru Oghash Rathod. One day a fakir leaves his small village in India and lands in Paris. A professional con artist, the fakir is on a pilgrimage to IKEA, where he intends to obtain an object he covets above all others: a brand-new bed of nails. Without adequate euros in the pockets of his silk trousers, the fakir is all the same confident that his counterfeit 100-Euro note (printed on one side only) and his usual bag of tricks will suffice. But when a swindled cab driver seeks his murderous revenge, the fakir accidentally embarks on a European tour, fatefully beginning in the wardrobe of the iconic Swedish retailer. As his journey progresses in the most unpredictable of ways, the fakir finds unlikely friends in even unlikelier places. To his surprise—and to a Bollywood beat—the stirrings of love well up in the heart of our turbaned hero, even as his adventures lead to profound and moving questions of the perils of emigration and the universal desire to seek a better life in an often dangerous world. The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir Who Got Trapped in an IKEA Wardrobe [pause for breath] is a hilarious tale that evokes the manic energy of a Marx Brothers romp and calls to mind the incisive social commentary of Candide. Pull up your Poang chair and take an unforgettable tour of Europe propelled by laughter, love and redemption. (Meatballs not included, but highly recommended.)
The Wrenchies

In this demented future, whatever life remains on earth is oppressed by the evil shadowsmen. Only a gang of ruthless and powerful children called the Wrenchies can hope to stand against them. When Hollis, a lonely boy from our world, is magically given access to the future world of the Wrenchies, he finally finds a place he belongs. But it is not an easy world to live in, and Hollis's quest is bigger than he ever dreamed of.
Farel Dalrymple brings his literary and artistic powers to bear in this sprawling science fiction graphic novel about regret, obsession, and the uncertainty of growing up.
The Boy in Question

Always important to keep the DeForge stock well-maintained. Here's his newest (at time of writing 7/12/13). You ever notice how sick Mike's text layout skills are?

This particular story is about two soldiers awaiting backup. As you can imagine, things escalate quickly. Hilarious.

it's kind of annoying that champions that you're good with normally sometimes suck when you switch to dominion.

It's easy to pick and choose quotes that fill what you want to get across... plus, a lot of those sources are specifically League of Legends based. Also, ColbyCheeze? I like the guy but c'mon...
Preacher to the choir: "Here's what the choir says about the preacher."
Dominion really brought back my interest in LoL
Yo lol this is such ridiculous self indulgence. all of those sites are dedicated to league of legends. How about get a review from a non-biased site instead of one that is already completely on your side?
You forgot
"It's fast, it's fun"
Thumbs up for ColbyCheeze!

Dominion is ok, I wouldn't say that it's great because, well, its not. IMO its like play/joke mode, free xp, free gold, turrets that wont kill you most of the time, what more could you ask for? There's just not enough reward for skill in dominion, you can say what you want, but in the end dominion comes down to who runs the fastest to all the points and caps or uncaps them, it doesn't matter what you do in-between that, this is league of legends, not mario cart
Dominion isn't actually that good, you're premature attempt at a new game has left us wanting something that actually gives gamers a game instead of a hodgepodge of fights and points that seem futile and unfulfilling.
Hratis Arai
Oh Riot, you silly company... did you really think that the community would let you off with that derp**** of a positive outlook? I enjoy Dominion, I do, but it is far from being perfect or even remotely balanced... you got a long way to go before you can try to throw some bull**** veil like that over my eyes.
Balance your characters to start it off, then maybe glance back at the disaster that is Twisted Treeline and remember what kind of legacy you've left behind. We're waiting...

Delhi power discoms not cooperating in audit, CAG tells HC
The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) Wednesday informed the Delhi High Court that the three power discoms in the national capital were not cooperating in the audit of their finances.
The CAG complained to Justice Manmohan that the three discoms - Tata Power Delhi Distribution Ltd, BSES Rajdhani and BSES Yamuna - were not providing documents sought by its audit team.
The three discoms had moved the court challenging the Delhi government directive for a CAG audit of their finances.
The discoms said the audit was ordered by the government with a "predetermined mind".
The discoms which supply power to consumers in Delhi alleged that the Delhi government order was a "political ploy", and was passed without giving the discoms an opportunity to be heard.
The Delhi government, however, had earlier argued that it had 49 percent share in each of the three discoms.
Justice Manmohan, while refusing to suspend the audit order, had earlier directed the discoms to cooperate with the auditor.
On Wednesday, the Delhi government came out in full support of the audit of the discoms and asked the high court to direct the discoms to "cooperate fully with the audit team constituted by the CAG and submit all necessary documents and information".
"It would be in larger public interest to have the accounts of the discoms audited by the CAG as it may bring out several possibilities for improving efficiency and reduction of financial requirement of these companies and thereby leading to an overall reduction of electricity tariffs for the consumers of Delhi," the government said.
Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung had Jan 1 directed the CAG to undertake the audit.
Then chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, soon after assuming office Dec 28, met CAG Shashi Kant Sharma and urged him to audit the three private firms.
Kejriwal alleged that the discoms were overcharging the consumers.
On Jan 7, the Delhi government ordered an audit of the discoms by the CAG. The discoms then filed writ petitions before the Delhi High Court.
The court will hear the matter May 16 next.

Reality documentary following an experiment by minicab firm Addison Lee to help its employees manage their work/life balance by putting their babies right next to their desk
A BBC investigation suggests companies are wasting large sums of money on adverts to gain "likes" from Facebook members who have no real interest in their products.
It also appears many account holders who click on the links have lied about their personal details.
A security expert has said some of the profiles appeared to be "fakes" run by computer programs to spread spam.
Facebook said it had "not seen evidence of a significant problem".
"Likes" are highly valued by many leading brands' marketing departments.
Once a user has clicked on a link the company it belongs to can then post content on their news feed, send them messages and alert their friends to the connection.
Facebook makes money by charging companies a fee to show adverts designed to attract new "likes".
Some companies have attracted millions of "likes".
But the BBC has been contacted by one marketing consultant who has warned clients to be wary of their value, and carried out an experiment that backed up his concerns.
The vast majority of Facebook's revenues come from advertising and its performance will be scrutinised when it releases its financial results on 26 July - the first such report since its flotation.
Puppet masters
Earlier this year Facebook revealed that about 5-6% of its 901 million users might be fake - representing up to 54 million profiles.
Graham Cluley of the security firm Sophos said this was a major problem.
"Spammers and malware authors can mass-produce false Facebook profiles to help them spread dangerous links and spam, and trick people into befriending them," he said.
"We know some of these accounts are run by computer software with one person puppeteering thousands of profiles from a single desk handing out commands such as: 'like' as many pages as you can to create a large community.
"I'm sure Facebook is trying to shut these down but it can be difficult to distinguish fake accounts from real ones."
A spokesman for the social network said: "We don't see evidence of a 'wave of likes' coming from fake users or 'obsessive clickers'."
But Mr Cluley said it was in the firm's interest to downplay the problem.
"They're making money every time a business's advert leads to a phoney Facebook fan," he said.

Procter & Gamble Co. (PG) board members are dissatisfied with Chief Executive OfficerRobert McDonald's performance and are discussing a possible leadership change, according to people familiar with the situation.
Some P&G directors are talking about contacting former executives to potentially take the top job, said one of the people, who declined to be identified because the matter is private. James McNerney, who is chairman of the board's compensation and leadership development committee, has told other members of the board he is unhappy with McDonald's performance, especially after the company cut forecasts three times this year, another person said.
The board's discussions in part come as activist investor William Ackman takes a stake in P&G. Ackman plans to press for management changes and is seeking more investors to join his push, the people said.
The moves increase pressure on McDonald, 59, who has been CEO for about three years and came under fire from analysts earlier this year when P&G lost market share to competitors. The stock had fallen 8 percent this year through July 11, giving the Cincinnati-based company a market value of about $168 billion. The stock rose 3.8 percent in regular trading yesterday, its largest gain in more than two years, and gained 0.2 percent to the equivalent of $63.84 at 10:13 a.m. in Frankfurt today.
Former Executives
"This is a really good company with some serious problems," said Ali Dibadj, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. in New York. He has recommended P&G consider a breakup if earnings don't improve this year. "A lot of those problems have been driven by management."
Directors don't see a clear internal candidate to replace McDonald, one person said. A.G. Lafley preceded McDonald as CEO, while other former executives include Paul Polman, the CEO of Unilever, who ran P&G's European business until 2006.
Paul Fox, a spokesman for P&G, declined to comment. McNerney, who is also the CEO of Boeing Co. (BA), wasn't available for comment through his spokesman.
P&G, the maker of Tide laundry detergent and Duracell batteries, most recently cut its profit forecast last month, citing currency fluctuations and rising commodity costs, even as competitors reaffirmed their projections. In February, McDonald announced a $10 billion cost-reduction plan that included 5,700 job cuts.

The Minnesota Board of Teaching Friday granted all 38 waivers for "community expert" licensing exemption on its docket, including 16 from Teach For America, and reversed itself on two denials it voted in July.
But the approvals came with a warning from the board's chair, Waseca teacher John Bellingham, that he "strongly encourages and expects" the entities seeking the variances to propose alternative licensing programs rather than continue to seek exceptions.
Bellingham said that community expert status was never intended to be used as a pathway to licensure. Rather, it's typically used when someone has a special expertise to contribute in a classroom but has no reason to seek a license, such as a colege professor teaching language in a K-12 school. Commissioner Brenda Cassellius was even more specific, encouraging TFA to apply for alternative licensure.
The better track record for applicants happened with a somewhat different turnout of board members than last month, while school administrators and applicants packed the boardroom in Roseville and explained the hiring decisions in front of a crowd of applauding supporters.
TFA was forced to seek individual exemptions to the requirement that teachers be licensed when the board voted in June to deny it a blanket exemption that had been granted for four previous school years. The teacher-dominated board appointed by Gov. Mark Dayton is considered more oriented toward the philosophy of unionized teachers that all teachers should be licensed to ensure classroom quality.
The board has approved a total of 19 TFA applicants this summer, and, TFA has asked the department for another exemption called temporary limited licensure for16 more applicants. That requires at least a college minor in the field an applicant will be teaching.
Teach For America corps members receive intensive summer training before entering classrooms, and continue working toward a full license at Hamline University during their two-year stint.
The board has been ready since early 2012 to take applications for programs in which teachers could be licensed through alternative programs to four years of teacher training at a state-approved college. Crystal Brakke, TFA's Twin Cities director, said that efforts by the group to do so were hampered last year by a leadership change, and this summer by the extra paperwork needed to win waivers for new TFA corps members.
But repeatedly granting by previous boards of a blanket exemption also provided little incentive for the group to work on alternative licensing. Brakke said the board's denial of that this year has sped up the group's timetable. She said she wants to reach agreement with a teaching program this fall and apply to the board for approval by year's end, expecting board action next spring.
Board members said in denying the blanket waiver that they wanted to review each applicant's credentials. They focused mostly on applicants for elementary education jobs outside of language immersion classrooms, noting a surplus of licensed teachers in that field. They made up 14 of Friday's applicants.
"We have [licensed] people who are waiting," said board member Anne Krafthefer, a Duluth elementary teacher, who voted agianst numerous waivers. "We have been an exporter of teachers."
But supporters of TFA argued that the board shouldn't substitute its judgment for that of principals and other hiring officials
Another teacher who sits on the board, Michael Larson, prodded schools directly about why they didn't hire licensed teachers who applied. "None of the 18 were qualified enough to teach at Hiawatha Academies?" he asked school Executive Director Eli Kramer. "Not in our judgment," Kramer responded.
All five Hiawatha applicants were approved, including two rejected last month. Kramer attributed that to the board getting more information about the applicants.

Music, Technology And Discovery
Music fans have more tools than ever for discovering new music. Streaming services like Pandora and Spotify have designed algorithms that create playlists based on your preferences. Online marketplaces like iTunes and Amazon make millions of recordings available for purchase. But some worry that these tools are having unintended consequences, making it harder to find good, original music and more difficult for promising bands to support themselves. Tech Tuesday explores how technology is affecting popular music.
