Things I liked:The good: Very accurate with a scope. Very powerful. At eight pumps it averages 820 fps with a 7.6 gr match wadcutter pellet and one hole accuracy at 10 meters. Very light weight. Less than 5 pounds? Even with a scope I can carry it for hours in the woods. Even with only four pumps delivers 591 fps average with the same pellet and at all velocities, extreme spread runs <10 fps and usually <5 fps. This gun IS capable of taking more than 8 pumps and DOES reach > 900 fps with the pellet mentioned at about 12 pumps. I DO NOT recommend this though!
Things I would have changed:The bad: Pumping is extremely loud and "clacky"! And it gets progressively harder to pump and the noise level increases with each additional stroke. The ugly: The trigger pull also gets harder with each additional pump. To the point at 12 pumps it is very hard to pull and you could wind up breaking the plastic trigger.
What others should know:This gun has a lot of plastic/polymer. But it appears to be very sturdy. Once I pumped it to 15 pumps just to see if it was possible and if it would deliver better velocities. DO NOT do this. Yes, I got over 950 fps with the 7.6 gr match pellet. However, I really had to mash the trigger very hard to get it to fire. I was afraid I was going to break the plastic trigger. And after 8 pumps the velocity gain is progressively less for each additional pump, and the effort almost gave me a hernia! At over 800 fps for the .177 with 8 pumps, be satisfied with that and be safe! My efforts were in the "experimental" range. They confirm the gun is very sturdy, but probably will break sooner rather than later if you do this on a regular basis. I am very happy with results at the eight pump level and regularly practice with only 4 pumps, which is easy on my body. POI is different with different power levels for some reason. This is an excellent gun for the money!! Mine worked and performed great!
Things I liked:*Good size and weight. *Composite seems rugged. *Easy to pump. *Slightly more power than my Benjamin 392. *Dovetail scope mount included. *Easy to load pellets. *Fair price. *Low recoil. *The rifle achieves the advertised velocity with lead pellets.
Things I would have changed:*The screw that holds the stock was very loose from Day One and the "Webley Rebel" emblem on the gun was missing. *The fiber optic open sights are poor. Plan to mount a scope if you buy one. If you prefer open sights or a peep sight, go with a Benjamin. *The barrel is coated in soft plastic and mars easily. *The "clacking" noise from pumping the gun is louder than other pumpers.
What others should know:Chrony testing, all with 8 pumps: Crosman Premier Hollow Points (14.3 gr): 670 fps Beeman Pointed (15.1 gr): 647 fps RWS Super H Point (14.2 gr): 665 fps Daisy Precision Max pointed (14.0 gr): 681 fps I purchased the rifle recently and am still trying to find the most accurate pellet. American reviews of this gun seem hard come by. Please post any questions and then I will try to help.
So far, so good. Accuracy is best so far with Crosman Premier hollow points. More velocity data: 719 fps with RWS Hobby (11.9 gr) and 623 fps with JSB Jumbo Heavy (18.13 gr), all with 8 pumps. For comparison sake since most people reading this are considering or have considered a Benjamin 392, I get 681 fps and 588 fps respectively. Since buying a .22 Rebel, I purchased a .177 Rebel during one of Pyramyd's great sales but unfortunately had to return it. The gun did hold air. However, getting air into the gun was the problem! When I left the pump arm open for 5 to 10 seconds per pump, I managed to charge the gun and get 890 fps with Crosman pointed pellets @ 8 pumps). I'm 99% sure that the air hole being blocked was the problem. I was very tempted to take apart the gun and adjust the pump stroke length but did not want to void the warranty and be stuck with a lemon if I was wrong. So in my personal experience, my record with the Rebel is 1-1. Like others have said, hope you get a good one and return it fast if not. All in all, the Rebel is a good gun, especially if you want something different. Just don't buy one expecting perfect quality. My .22 Rebel had a lot of black junk inside that I had to clean. The gun also came with some minor but obvious cosmetic damage (loose stock, scratched barrel, missing cover for the threaded portion at the end of the barrel...), and be prepared to clean and adjust. Despite the decline in the Benjamin name since the Crosman takeover, the Benjamin is a superior gun if you could only purchase one gun and want something that will last and have easy access to parts and service. If you don't need to limit yourself to one gun and enjoy pumpers, by all means add a Rebel to your collection.
How has your gun held up? Heard that the build quality is poor and many leak after a short time.
Things I liked: Got one in 22. Accurate and powerful. Short and light, good stout feel even with all the polymer. It's definitely NOT anything like an 880 or 2100. Still working on break-in and finding it's favorite pellet, but it will print ragged one-holers at 15 and 20 yards with either CPHP's or JSB Exact 18.13s when I do my part. Mine shoots CPHP 14.3's at 640 fps, Superdomes around the same, JSB 18.13's average 577, even tried some 25.4 gr. Monsters and did 520 fps for 15 ft/lbs. Tried a couple of shots with the Monsters at 10 pumps got 550 and 553 fps for 17 fpe.
Things I would have changed: I disliked the open sites. The front post is a little thick for my taste. The fiber optic insert on the front doesn't line up with the inserts in the rear when the post is even with the top of the notch. The rear inserts fell out of the cheap rear site after less than 100 shots. Not a huge deal, the notch still worked and I already had a scope on the way.
What others should know: When you get one of these that works they work great, but be prepared, some examples do have issues. The first one PA sent me would not hold air past 3 or 4 pumps, and I have read of others getting the same problem. PA took it back no problem and paid for the return shipping. It is hard to pump after around the fifth pump. Be careful not to get your fingers in the wrong place during pumping this thing will break your fingers!
Did you ever get your gun fixed when it failed again after the first cleanup?
Finally got to test fire it first time after the cleanup. Worked good for 6 shots then started leaking the same way. If I can't figure out how to fix it it's worthless. Can't return it now due to my tinkering. Anyway two duds in a row, not a good record. One star.
OK, not long after I wrote this review the replacement rifle crapped out. Pumping it up at around 6 pumps you would start hearing air leaking through the barrel. Not wanting to send this one back too I tore into it. Long story short, I couldn't find anything really wrong but there was a MASSIVE amount of crud in the guts. Cleaned it all up and reassembled and it seems to work fine for now. Except a small piece of polymer fell out on reassembly and now the safety doesn't function. Bottom line is if unless you are an accomplished gun "tinkerer" or airgunsmith and don't mind working on a new airgun this may not be for you. PA makes returns easy enough. I would have went for a 392 except it is notoriously hard to get a good scope mount for them.

I will also say this, for now all we know is that the young man can not play, but to say why is only speculation and I will not go into that as I feel unless we know they whole story we would be doing a dis-service to both this blog and the people involved.
The bad part is that right now I count about five teams that will give the Orange a run for their money in their games. Prior to the dismissal of Fab Melo that list was maybe two. That alone makes me think that it's more likely than not that SU will not arrive to proverbial promised land in New Orleans, a goal set by most after seeing this team perform for over thirty games. From the second round on, when they could be playing Kansas State, Syracuse will have their hands full with their opponents. If they do make it past the second game Syracuse would have either have to play Vanderbilt or Wisconsin, both of those teams would be a hard match up with a Meloless SU squad. If I had to pick for head coach Jim Boeheim's team I would prefer facing off against Wisconsin. Then the following game would have to be, if the games are chalk for the most part, with either a Florida State team that has been on fire or a Ohio State team that like North Carolina many people have given up on. For both of these team this would definitely be a way to show the college world landscape they are a lot better than the so-called experts and/or analysts have been saying. Both these teams have shooters that can hurt you from beyond the arc, can dribble into the lane for a floater as well as post players that can dominate the paint. That for a team without the starting center can not be a good thing.
This means that from round two (or as the NCAA would like us to call it, round three) on this Orange squad is going to be facing teams that can provide problems for them at full strength. Now that they will not have their man in the middle this problem is going to be even bigger and in my humble non professional view point, it's going to be hard for Syracuse to get past all of this teams, especially the back to back second weekend match ups of Vandy/Wis and then FSU/OSU. Coach Boeheim and his squad begin their journey into the tournament tomorrow at 3:10 p.m. EST against UNC-Asheville. That game should be the one that SU will take home pretty easily, but from then one it's anyone's guess if they make it through or not.

Several feared dead, hundreds injured in Texas fertilizer plant explosion [video]
A West fertilizer plant north of Waco, TX exploded at around 7:50pm Central Time on Wednesday killing and injuring many.
West, Texas firefighters were sent back to the plant after a fire they had handled earlier had re-ignited.
Between five and fifteen are feared dead, but the injuries are reported to be close to 200 and include at least 2 children.
Multiple triage locations have been setup including a nearby Waco, TX football field.
A nearby nursing home and apartment complex were damaged by the explosions and people are reportedly trapped in those structures. The local sheriff reported that an area five miles wide has been "flattened" by the blast.
Witnesses say they saw a fireball reaching over 100ft high.
Anhydrous amonia is strongly suspected as the agent that violently exploded. The chemical reacts violently with water – heating and causing an explosive vapor cloud in the open and will quickly dehydrate a human being while causing blisters.

Two games and two impressive wins for the Rangers on Friday and Saturday. Friday's 6-3 win in Washington was a big one for the Blueshirts after a pair of sub-par (and that's being kind) efforts in Montreal and Florida, though Saturday's 2-0 shutout of the Flyers stole the show as a perfect defensive performance, coupled with Henrik Lundqvist's 37th career shutout, silenced the high-scoring Flyers – who, admittedly, were short Jaromir Jagr, James Van Reimsdyk and Chris Pronger. But let's not belittle a tremendous effort, hey.
In terms of news to report, today's unveiling of the Rangers' Winter Classic jerseys (4pm ET, live on Blueshirts United and Facebook) is where most will have their eyes glued to this afternoon. The Flyers unveiled theirs last Monday.
Also, if you haven't seen it yet, please take a look at the Minnesota Wild's tribute to Derek Boogaard that aired before last night's game against the Calgary Flames. That's how you do it.
Join me after the jump as we recap the weekend's Ranger reads.
Jess Rubenstein recaps Saturday's prospects action, including a five-point night for Michael St. Croix as his Edmonton Oil Kings beat the Lethbridge Hurricanes 5-2 on the road. St. Croix, a 4th-round pick this summer, has 11 points in his last four games (13-20-33 overall) and sits 13th in WHL scoring, second among Ranger prospects. [The Prospect Park]
Nick Montemagno analyses the Rangers play at the quarter-mark of the season. Check out that swanky new layout while you're over there. [Rangers Tribune]
Blueshirt Banter's Joe Fortunato praises Carl Hagelin and Michael Del Zotto, amongst others, following the Rangers wins over the Capitals and Flyers. Hagelin posted his first point in the NHL on Friday, before scoring his first goal on Saturday. [Blueshirt Banter]
Larry Brooks also takes a look at Del Zotto in his recent column for the NY Post, including this quote from the third-year defenseman about bouncing back in the seasons first quarter. [NY Post]
I'm back to where I wanted to be, but by no means am I satisfied or willing to settle. I've already learned how things can change in a hurry by letting things slip even a little, so I'm aware every day of putting in my work and doing whatever is necessary to improve. I appreciate every day.
Patrick Hoffman asks the question over at Kukla's Korner, is Dan Girardi the most underrated defenseman in the NHL? Girardi, the should-be All-Star, is having a tremendous season on Broadway in the absence of Marc Staal, logging almost 30 minutes a night alongside Ryan McDonagh (who has been just as fantastic). Answers on a postcard. [Kukla's Korner]
And finally, on an un-Ranger'd note, Bruce Boudreau and Paul Maurice have both lost their coaching jobs in Washington and Carolina respectively this morning. Dale Hunter takes over in Washington while Kirk Muller fills the void in Carolina.

MONDAY, Nov. 18, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Damage to the blood vessels of the eyes or kidneys might help identify people who are at raised risk for a common type of heart-rhythm disorder, a new study suggests.
The disorder, called atrial fibrillation, is common in older people and increases the risk of stroke. It also can trigger heart-related chest pain or heart failure in some patients, the researchers said.
In the new study, which is scheduled for presentation Monday at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association in Dallas, researchers followed more than 10,000 middle-aged people for an average of almost 14 years.
Researchers led by Sunil Agarwal, of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, found that microvascular changes -- trouble in the smaller vessels of the eyes or kidneys -- appeared to be linked to the presence of atrial fibrillation.
For example, while about six out of every 1,000 people with no microvascular disease developed the heart-rhythm disorder, that figure rose to about nine out of every 1,000 for people with micro-bleeds or micro-aneurysms in the smaller vessels of the eye's retina, the researchers said.
That number rose to almost 17 per 1,000 people for those with signs of vessel damage in the kidneys. It increased to more than 24 per 1,000 in people who had vessel damage in both the eyes and kidneys, the study found.
Why this vessel damage appears to be tied to a higher risk for atrial fibrillation remains unclear, the researchers said.
One expert not connected to the study theorized that small-vessel damage might be an underlying cause of atrial fibrillation.
"This [study] suggests that a potential trigger for developing atrial fibrillation may be worsening microvascular disease," said Dr. Neil Sanghvi, an electrophysiologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. "Therefore, treatments that are able to minimize or prevent microvascular damage may be able to decrease the incidence of atrial fibrillation."
Dr. Kenneth Ong is interim chief of cardiology at the Brooklyn Hospital Center in New York City. "Damage to the vessels in the eyes and kidneys are thought to reflect similar findings in the rest of the body, including the heart," he said.
He added that it's "reasonable to speculate" that patients with such damage might be at higher risk for heart disease.
Sanghvi said patients who have vessel damage in the eyes or kidneys "should consider long-term monitoring, on the order of one or two weeks," to gauge their risk for undetected atrial fibrillation.
Experts note that findings presented at medical meetings typically are considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

The Daily Dolphin
Tag: AFC East
ESPN ranks Dolphins behind 60 professional, 14 NFL franchises, but it's progress
- 7:26 pm Wednesday, July 1st, 2009 by Post Staff
Talk about average.
But it's better than being horrible.
Despite a historic turnaround and AFC East title in 2008, the Miami Dolphins remain in the middle of the pack as an NFL and sports franchise, according to ESPN The Magazine's seventh annual Ultimate Standings report.
Does Terrell Owens make the Bills an AFC East contender?
- 7:18 pm Saturday, March 7th, 2009 by Post Staff
Looks like it's time for the Dolphins to get another cornerback.
Randy Moss twice a year is bad enough. Now, the Dolphins will face Terrell Owens twice in 2009.
Owens signed one-year, $6.5 million deal with Buffalo, according to NFL.com's Vic Carucci.
A season after Miami swept Buffalo for the first time since 2003, Dolphins cornerback Will Allen suddenly is going to need some help against the Bills passing game.

The Second Coming of D. Black
D. Black and Spaceman ::: Photo by Josh Lovseth
"Forget about yesterday, today won't be the same, and we won't know, what tomorrow brings…" – Refrain from "Yesterday" by D. Black on Ali'Yah
Sometimes it's hard to imagine the person we once were. We dread to recall the downright stupid philosophies of our youth and the havoc our own actions have wrought as a result. Yet those are the things that made us who we are now, the important mistakes and miscalculations that changed our trajectory in life and served as learning experiences that (hopefully) made us wiser in the end. And so it can be just as hard to imagine life as being lived any other way. Without a doubt Sportn' Life rapper D. Black doesn't relish his former self, and though that life plays a key role in the compelling impetus of his second record Ali'Yah, he seems determined to move beyond his youth with purpose.
Talking big and acting big is part of the hip hop game, and D. Black's early material reflects that expectation, doing his best to amplify the often gritty vision of urban life-as-struggle. For Ali'Yah though, D. Black is done playing that game the same way. Like his labelmate Fatal Lucciauno, he's made a life decision to control his own path, and not let the expectations or demands of a fickle industry distract him from his true calling as an urban philosopher committed to music. The first song from Ali'Yah "What I Do" lays all of this out literally while in "The Return" he's bluntly rhymes "I can't associate with them fake ones/to add to their fake bullets coming out of fake guns."
Socially-conscious hip-hop isn't exactly new in the Seattle area, yet in Ali'Yah D. Black takes the road less traveled, earnestly depicting himself, his former life, and his own impact in the context of the real world consequences. And he is thinking about impact, not just getting by by doing what you "have to" do. Interludes typically inhabited by repping or something funny or stupid, are instead setting the tone of challenge on the record just as much as the songs. At the end of "What I Do" the channel changes and a voice pipes up: "The question stands, as a genre that uplifted and inspired so many of us, is it now poisoning itself?" These are hot words for one who is himself trying to gain traction in the hip-hop scene, and some will call him preachy for it, yet the force of his example on this record serves to quash any weak retorts that it's not so easy to turn your back on the game. Not simply inflammatory words, he's genuinely attempting to engage a nuanced conversation from the inside.
For Wednesday night's CD release show at the Crocodile, much of the local hip-hop community was in the house either to take a step on stage or simply to show support for D. Black and his latest effort. Spaceman was hosting, and he was determined to make sure his boy had a great show. Darrius Willrich started the night out at the keys, bringing me back to my Stevie Wonder period in college. Dyme Def then followed They Live! who both put up energetic performances to a slowly warming crowd. Once D. Black hit the stage though, the crowd quickly thickened up front into a sea of swaying hands raised in in the shape of an "L."
While D. Black may be done playing by anyone else's rules, he certainly hasn't turned his back on bringing the energy and performance that's generally expected of a quality hip-hop show. Fully engaging the crowd, he was all smiles and thank you's, especially for the night's DJ and prolific producer Vitamin D, a tireless advocate for local hip-hop artists for years. Grynch, Spaceman and Fatal Lucciauno all reprised the roles they played as guests on the album (much like D. Black's recent Bumbershoot performance), while Sportn' Life "princess" Marissa made a late set appearance to provide backing vocals on Ali'Yah's first single "Yesterday."
As D. Black did the roll call, "Where my South Enders at? Where my North Enders at? Where my blacks at? Where My Jews at?…." he included every group, and got a loud response every time. This moment demonstrated his wide ranging appeal in a striking manner, yet given the dynamic performance it came as no surprise. The next day Abbey commented via twitter, "I'm going to finally say it out loud — local rockers could learn a thing or two from local hip hoppers in terms of performance." As I left the Croc that night, I couldn't help but think exactly the same thing.

Designing In A Gen Y World
by Mike Doherty on Jul 29, 9:00 AM
I love great design, and judging from the proliferation of design focused blogs like Design Milk and Apartment Therapy, I am not alone. Seems Millennials also like design. They over-index in Simmons for lifestyle statements like Creative, Inventive, Imaginative and Artistic, and for activities like remodeling. It would also seem that based on the number of design-oriented TV shows like Design Star where many of the contestants and contributors are of Gen Y age, networks get this, too.

Convenience, Customization, Ease Of Sharing
by Sharalyn Hartwell on Jul 22, 8:09 AM
The recent buzz around Google+ is just the sort of thing that can send marketers and media planners into a tailspin, lamenting yet again, "You mean there's another thing Millennials are doing en masse, and we have to reach them there, too?"

In Youth Marketing, More Is More
by Melanie Shreffler on Jul 8, 6:44 AM
Simple campaigns don't work anymore; marketing to this generation needs to be multifaceted. Giving Millennials a variety of ways to interact with a brand keeps them engaged and entertained, and giving them a voice or a choice lets them know their opinions matter.

Our friendships with UPS delivery drivers are flourishing. And our definition of brand loyalty is changing as the deals pour into our inboxes. Now brand loyalty is the expectation from us that a brand will offer a deal in the next daily email from Groupon, LivingSocial, Gilt City, Yipit, Yelp, etc.

Wiki Headlines
23rd Oct: It's time for the second TV Tropes Halloween Avatar Contest, theme: cute monsters! Details and voting here.
main index
Jules: Why you so interested in big man's wife?When death or impending death is referred to only in code words, which becomes chilling when the audience realizes what they are referring to. Usually used by sinister conspiracies, powerful gangsters, Dystopian bureaucrats (see also Double Speak), Paths Of Inspiration or Scary Dogmatic Aliens. Occasionally also invoked by "good guy" operations, too (spy agencies, etc.) but less frequently. In some cases, the words 'destroyed' or 'erased' may be used, not as a euphemism, but rather because the word 'killed' is insufficient. Usually refers to those who have suffered a Fate Worse than Death, or an individual who has been killed and wiped from all records. Or they just don't acknowledge them as people to begin with. This is similar to Never Say "Die", but isn't associated with censorship; violent deaths will be shown, or someone will explain the real meaning of the euphemism (that is, if it's necessary to do so, since in most cases the speaker will use a tone of voice that makes it clear). It's also the supertrope of Trouble Entendre and Released to Elsewhere. The opposite of this would be No Longer with Us. As a Death Trope, all Spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware.
Vincent: Well, he's goin' out of town, Florida, he asked me if I'd take care of her while he's gone.
Jules: (beat) "Take care of her"?
Vincent: No man! Just take her out, y'know, show her a good time.

While I was on it I had days where I just couldn't function I was so tired, I've not had a day like that since I've stopped it. My question is does avara make any one feel that way?

Isn't that just like a typical liberal... not to recognize the fact that our Constitution ensures the right for us to worship as we wish?<quoted text>
How about that Joseph Smith. Didn't hear you make any smartass comments about him. You know, the guy who started it all and believed all other churches were wrong? Exactly proving my point and proving me correct. Got anything else? I mean other than talking snakes water walking Jewish zombies.
Get educated about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint.
Fact is, I spent my entire childhood in the shadow of Hill Cumorah, near Palmyra, NY, the most significant shrine for Latter Day Saints. Throngs would come every year to the Cumorah Pageant, where they would celebrate their faith wrapped around the belief that Joseph Smith was handed golden tablets inscribed with what is now professed to be the Book of Mormon.
I have known many, many LDS's in my life. Every one of them the finest people I have ever met, the most devout, honorable, honest, and giving people I have known. Small wonder Mitt Romney gives away millions every year, and in fact donated the entirety of his share of his father's considerable inheritance to charity.
Did you know that all "Mormons" as you call them have a picture of Jesus Christ in their home? Probably not.
Tell you what I believe... I believe we are a secular nation. Each of us free to worship as we please, or not. That's what I believe.
As for my faith, Roman Catholic, the Second Vatican Council pointedly stated that Catholic faithful must be accepting and tolerant of all other faiths. As long as those faiths are peaceful.

Davis and Cabrera seeking historic seasons
Just 15 years removed from Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire's historic race for the single-season home run record, two new players are entwined in an equally tense offensive rivalry.
Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera and Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis currently lead 10 major offensive categories in the American League, and are the leading candidates for the AL's Most Valuable Player Award.
For the last decade, Cabrera has been widely considered as the best pure hitter in baseball. He has hit at least 30 home runs in eight of his last 10 seasons. He has knocked in at least 100 runs every season with the exception of his rookie year, where he still managed to play a crucial part in the Florida Marlins' World Series victory.
Last season was Cabrera's best, as he led the league with a .330 batting average, 44 home runs and 139 runs batted in. Along with winning the American League MVP award, he became the first player in 45 years to win the Triple Crown. The last player to do so was Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski, who did it with the Boston Red Sox in 1967. This season, it appeared Cabrera would be the first player in Major League history to be a back-to-back Triple Crown winner. However, one breakthrough player appears is if he will keep that from happening.
Originally chosen 1,496th overall in the 2004 MLB Draft, Chris Davis played with various teams before reaching his current position on the Baltimore Orioles in 2011. Davis began to make a name for himself in 2012, hitting 33 home runs, knocking in 85 runs and recording 139 hits. This season, Davis has hit 32 home runs already.
2013 has been a monumental year for Davis. He began the season with 16 runs batted in over four games, an MLB record. He also joined Willie Mays, McGwire and Nelson Cruz as the only players to hit a home run in the first four games of the season. He is the only player in Major League history to hit 30 home runs and 25 doubles by June 30 in a season. Currently, Davis is on pace to make a break for Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard's home run mark of 58 set in 2006. This total is the most of any player since the MLB's steroid era of the 1990s and early 2000s.
Although many players with astronomical numbers usually begin to taper off after the All-Star break, Davis and Cabrera should have no problem finishing the season either in first or second in Triple Crown categories. Cabrera has consistently had a great batting average over his career, whereas Davis is just getting started. On the flip side, Cabrera hasn't hit more than 44 home runs in a season, whereas Davis is well on his way to break the Orioles' home run record of 50 set by Brady Anderson. As for runs batted in, this category could be won by either player, as both are well on their way to reaching the 140 mark.
The bottom line is that Miguel Cabrera would be well on his way in becoming the first repeat winner of the Triple Crown if not for Davis. With both players at the top of their games, the outcome could very well go either way. Davis is well on his way to becoming the next great hitter in baseball, and fans will look back on 2013 as his breakout year. Regardless of the finish, the ending of this season is sure to be one of the most exciting in recent history.

Re: My Favorite New Covers#10077 3 years, 6 months agoDude, I go to so many shows and I am wondering where everyone is? I personally would drive hours to go see dead cover bands, because they are all truly good, in own ways and each gives you a different experience.
WIGJAM - One of my favorites, out of NY/NJ area often plays @ Mexicali Live in NJ; These guys are truly awesome as I have followed them all over...seen them in large venues & restaurants where most of the patrons were there for the food (and didn't even know who were the Dead were) ...They usually play a pre-party for furthur, when they come to town - it's called Ship of Fools and it takes place on a the ROCKS OFF Ship which goes up to the GW Bridge and then down to the lady (Statue of LIberty) before returning you to port in time to catch a quick bite and get to Furthur. If you haven't done this yet, do it - it is awesome. If you have done it b4, see you next time!
Reflections - Out of NY/NJ plays Grateful Dead & Jerry Music but is often dedicated to only playing Jerry. They are truly awesome and they are playing Mexicali this weekend 4/9.
Splintered Sunlight -Around the Maryland/Pennsylvania areas, these guys are truly awesome and being asian myself, I have my heart with this band (The lead guitarist is Asian and often called the "Asian Jerry")
InDead Nation - I am not too sure about this band, but I am going to see them this weekend (and missing Reflections for it). They are playing in Maryland tonight 4/8.
Reckoning - Another dead cover band is very good, but also mixes in some other classic rock like Floyd and Neil Young.
Shakedown Street - Just another one that I know of, but never saw...They seem to have a big following and are widely known. I haven't seen them, but I sure would love to soon.
Dude, you almost never have to go without dead music. There is a cover band playing somewhere. I have my weekends booked til June with DSO and Cover bands. There is just too much time between Furthur shows, we gotta get our Dead fixes somewhere. I hope those above were of interest to you.

9 Tasty Foods Named After People
9 Tasty Foods Named After People
Ever wonder what it takes to get your name permanently affixed to a dish? It doesn't hurt to invent a new delicacy that people just can't stop eating, but for some people it's just been a matter of being in the right place at the right time—and complimenting the chef on a job well done. Here are nine foods named after people, including Margherita pizza, Graham crackers, and nachos (yes, nachos).
1. Chicken a la King
While some stories trace the savior of leftover chicken's roots back to London's Claridge Hotel or the famed restaurant Delmonico's, one particular tale is widely accepted. As the story goes, a chef named George Greenwald ran the restaurant at the ritzy Brighton Beach Hotel in Brooklyn around the turn of the 20th century. Greenwald liked to experiment in the kitchen, and one night he turned out a special chicken dish for the owners of the hotel. The proprietor and his wife adored the dish and encouraged Greenwald to add it to his menu. Greenwald was so delighted that his boss liked his new creation that he named it after the hotelier: E. Clark King.
2. Graham crackers
Sylvester Graham would not have gotten along very well with James Salisbury. Graham, a 19th-century diet proponent, felt that people should ingest mostly fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while avoiding meats and any sort of spice. The upside of all of this bland food sounds a bit curious to the modern reader: Graham thought his diet would keep his patients from having impure thoughts. Cleaner thoughts would lead to less masturbation, which would in turn help stave off blindness, pulmonary problems, and a whole host of other potential pitfalls that stemmed from moral corruption. Graham invented the cracker that bears his name as one of the staples of this anti-self-abuse diet.
3. Salisbury Steak
James Salisbury was a 19th-century American doctor with a rather kooky set of beliefs. According to Salisbury, fruits, vegetables, and starches were the absolute worst thing a person could eat, as they would produce toxins as our bodies digested them. The solution? A diet heavy on lean meats. To help his diet cause, Salisbury invented the Salisbury steak, which he recommended patients eat three times a day and wash down with a glass of hot water to aid digestion. Apparently the only people paying attention to the doctor's orders were elementary school lunch ladies.
4. Cobb salad
Here's a debate so fiery that even Curb Your Enthusiasm has tackled it. Although there are numerous origin stories for this main-course salad, it seems that most people generally agree the concoction bears the name of Robert Cobb, the former proprietor of Hollywood's Brown Derby restaurant.There are a number of stories about how Cobb actually invented the salad, though. The one most frequently repeated is that in 1937, a hungry Cobb went to his restaurant's kitchen for a midnight snack and ended up improvising a delicious salad with what he found in the fridge. His buddy Sid Grauman, the owner of the landmark Grauman's Chinese Theater, was with Cobb on the night he got the munchies, and started ordering "Cobb's salads" when he came in to eat at the Brown Derby.
5. Beef Stroganoff
The creamy beef dish supposedly takes its name from Count Pavel Stroganov, a 19th-century Russian statesman and military leader who commanded a division in the Napoleonic Wars. Stroganov's family was one of Russia's most wealthy and influential, so he certainly had the clout to get a namesake dish. It's not totally clear, though, at what point the dish sprang into existence. Some sources credit an 1890 culinary competition—which seems unlikely because Count Pavel was long dead at that point—but the beef dish is mentioned in written records at least as far back as the 1860s.
6. Nachos
Yep, there really was a guy named Nacho. In 1943 Ignacio Anaya—better known by his nickname "Nacho"—was working at the Victory Club in Piedras Negras, Mexico, just over the border from Eagle Pass, Texas. As the story goes, there were a lot of American servicemen stationed at Fort Duncan near Eagle Pass, and one evening a large group of soldiers' wives came into Nacho's restaurant as he was closing down.Nacho didn't want to turn the women away with empty stomachs, but he was too low on provisions to make a full dinner. So he improvised. Nacho Anaya supposedly cut up a bunch of tortillas, sprinkled them with cheddar and jalapenos and popped them in the oven. The women were so delighted with the nachos especiales that the snack quickly spread throughout Texas.
7. Fettucine Alfredo
The Italian favorite has been around for centuries, but it supposedly took on its current form around 1914 when Alfredo di Lelio upped the amount of butter in the recipe in an attempt to find something his pregnant wife would enjoy eating. Di Lelio realized that his buttery cheese sauce was extraordinarily tasty, so he started serving it to tourists at his Rome restaurant and named the dish after himself.
8. Margherita pizza
This deliciously simple pizza is named after Margherita of Savoy, who was Queen consort of Italy from 1878 until 1900 during the reign of her husband, King Umberto I. In 1889, Umberto and Margherita took a vacation to Naples and visited renowned pizza chef Raffaele Esposito, who cooked the royal couple three special pizzas. Margherita particularly enjoyed one that had used mozzarella, tomato, and basil to mimic the colors the Italian flag, so Esposito named the dish in her honor.
9. Bananas Foster
Read the full text here
In 1951, Richard Foster had a tough job. He was the chairman of a New Orleans crime commission that was trying to clean up the French Quarter, and he also ran his own business, the Foster Awning Company. When Foster was hungry, he would often head in to his friend Owen Brennan's restaurant, Brennan's, and happily wolf down whatever chef Paul Blange was making. When Chef Blange invented a new dessert of flaming bananas, he named it after his owner's buddy and frequent customer.
Illuminated Nature: Dazzling Light Art in Fields and Forests
Illuminated Nature: Dazzling Light Art in Fields and Forests
For every human interaction with nature that is sad and destructive, we would like to hope there is also one that is meaningful and inspirational, enhancing rather than extinguishing the beauty and wonder of the woods or the sea. Photographer Barry Underwood creates stunning full-scale light installations in natural settings that exemplify the positive relationship that we can have with the earth, working in a sort of artistic collaboration with nature itself.
Underwood's light art photography seems to bring out the magic that we already see in the darkness between the trees, or in the fog that hovers above a lake on a cool morning. Each photograph expertly frames a scene, while Underwood's additions to the composition – whether in the form of light graffiti or illuminated objects placed in the landscape – make them feel a tad surreal.
Building on a portfolio of landscape light art that stretches back to 2007, Underwood has added some new works to his website. "These images are documentations of full-scale installations that are built on-site in the landscape," he says in his artist statement. "Using illusion, imagination, and narrative, my photographs explore the potential of the ordinary. I approach my photographic work with a theatrical sensibility, much like a cinematographer or set designer would."
"By reading the landscape and altering the vista through lights and photographic effects, I transform everyday scenes into unique images. Light and color alter the perception of space, while defamiliarizing common objects. Space collapses, while the lights that I install appear as intrusions and interventions. This combination renders the forms in the landscape abstract. Inspired by cinema, land art, and contemporary painting, the resulting photographs are both surreal and familiar. They suggest a larger narrative, and yet that narrative remains elusive and mystifying."

Painted Pastures: 7 Amazing Colorful Fields & Meadows
Flowery fields of brilliant blooms in every color of the rainbow are a treat for the eyes and a tonic for the soul. These 7 amazing colorfulfields and meadows span the spectrum from deepest violet to brightest white, challenging photographers to capture their beauty while testing their antihistamines.

Japan's northern island of Hokkaido is famed for its sprawling fields of lavender nourished by copious rainfall and rich volcanic soils. The area around the city of Furano boasts an abundance of lavender farms and the lush, redolent fields of fragrant lavender draw tourists from across the nation and beyond.

Lavender has been cultivated for centuries in Europe and the sight of ancient castles and country houses poking above soft mauve fields of blooming lavender is not to be missed in one's lifetime. The ethereal scene above, seemingly brought to life from a glorious Turner watercolor via the photographic magic of Antony Spencer, hails from Faulkland, Somerset, in the United Kingdom. Rule Britannia!
Green Green Grass

Who could guess the timeless Eden at above top can be found in northern Pakistan? The image just below is probably much more familiar, being it's the aptly named "Bliss" default background screen from Windows XP. The scene isn't a computer-generated image, nor does it depict the scenery around Microsoft's Redmond, WA headquarters. Instead, the now-iconic vista captures the rolling verdant vineyards southeast of Sonoma, California, as snapped by professional photographer Charles O'Rear in 1996.

What's a field without flowers? Something special, that's what, especially if the grassy expanse is observed in conjunction with our planet's varied and contrasting backdrop of sun, sky and atmosphere. It's soothing just to view the image; imagine what it would be like to actually be there?
Mellow Yellow

Rapeseed is an oilseed sometimes known as Canola (for obvious reasons) that is grown around the world, often in huge plantations. The brilliant tint of the flowers, their quantity on each plant, and the vast size of the planted fields combine to produce stunning yellow vistas which can be positively blinding on bright sunny days.
(image via: Tour Lijiang)
Some of the world's largest rapeseed plantations can be found inLuoping County, located in southwest China's Yunnan Province. The sprawling fields of rapeseed lap around bare Karst limestone cones giving the appearance of an alien yellow sea surrounding barren rocky islands.
Orange You Glad?

Enjoy the fruits of Mother Nature's labors with these fields of orange-colored flowers! From cultivated marigolds to wild African daisies to the wonderful variety of blooms that delight visitors to California'sCarlsbad Flower Fields, the rich hue of the setting sun can be enjoyed at any hour of the day.
(image via: Mike Baird)
There are few things more pleasing to the senses than a field of freshly blooming wildflowers, especially if they're all of the same species and color. Such is the case in several spots along the California coastline, such as the idyllic meadow above. Located just off the Buchon Trail near the Canyon Diablo nuclear power plant, these colorful California Poppies give off a glow that's all-natural!
Inside the Red Zone
(images via: Antony Spencer)
Both images above depict fields of poppies, both display locations in England, and both were discovered and captured by the lens of award-winning photographer Antony Spencer. Though it's true poppies have their dark side, these strikingly beautiful images help bring balance to a much-maligned flower best seen in the light of a lovely English day.
(image via: Crazy-Frankenstein)
The dark side does have its own appeal, of course, and the poppy field above shimmering in the, ahem, twilight would certainly strike a chord in fans of a certain fantasy romance series. Only one question remains… does the scene above depict dawn, dusk, or some misty netherworld forever fixed upon the borders of day and night?
Pretty In Pink
(images via: 123RF, Somewhere In The Middle and Pensieri Azzurri)
Taking cues from both the red and violet bands of the spectrum, pink reaches its full potential when expressed in the petals of flowers. Multiply the impact by several petals per flower and thousands of flowers per field and you've got wall to wall, sensory overload, maximum intensity pink and a close encounter of the bubble-gum kind.
(image via: ButterFunk)
A more subdued yet no less powerful exploration of pinkness can be found in Japan's legendary Sakura cherry blossoms. Blooming en masse annually in a highly anticipated, widely reported national news event, the sight of a forest of Sakura trees festooned with gently snowing blossoms is a scene not to be missed.
White Out
(images via: Akusijebat and 123RF)
There's something about a field of white flowers… the gentle beauty of the frosted petals contrasting with the rich organic green of the background foliage is something timeless and primordial. Perhaps it's the lack of color that imbues white flowers with a certain restrained grace, or maybe we do that ourselves in order to fill a perceived lack that really isn't there at all.
(image via: Wallpaper Million)
White as the snow-capped mountains and refreshing as an icy freshwater stream in early spring, a field of white flowers invites the bracing breeze while banishing heavy heat and humidity. From alpineEdelweiss scattered through Swiss meadows to gently nodding ranks of daisies growing wild and undisciplined amongst prairie grass and groundcover, white flowers take in the best of every color combination and bounce it right back at us. Do you dare to take them lightly? Go ahead… they wouldn't have it any other way.
(image via: JLM Photo)
Fields of colorful flowers can shock and surprise those expecting only green grass, giving the impression of dream landscapes – if you dream in color, that is. Not that the power of millions of flowers can ever disappoint, of course, the only caveat may be the difficulty in choosing a color. Luckily there's no limit, in time or of color: if you can't select one, why not take them all?
It's a country the size of France with less than 60 miles of paved roads.
WFP is scaling up to reach some 2.7 million people across South Sudan with food aid this year as the country reels from poor harvests, high food prices and violent conflicts. Copyright: AFP/Bosire Bogonko
Hunger is on the rise across South Sudan as poor harvests, soaring prices and conflict push millions to the edge of survival. In response, WFP plans on feeding more than 2.7 million people there this year. WFP Country Director Chris Nikoi says that approaching rains, poor infrastructure and high levels of malnutrition make the emergency operation a race against time.
How many people in South Sudan are at risk of going hungry this year?
4.7 million South Sudanese will struggle to meet their food needs in 2012, which is about half the population of the entire country. One million of them are already severely food insecure and will need assistance to meet their food needs.
Operationally, what are some of the biggest challenges that you face in getting food assistance to the people who need it?
South Sudan is one of the most underdeveloped countries in the world. Once the rains begin, 60 percent of the country will become inaccessible because there aren't enough roads. We are always racing against time to get food assistance to the right locations before the rains.
In addition, the border-closure between Sudan and South Sudan has meant that we've had to find new ways to bring food into the country. To get around the bottlenecks that form along shipping routes from Kenya, we've now opened a separate corridor to bring food in from Djibouti. We're also sourcing food from countries like Tanzania.
What are the main factors behind the current hunger crisis in South Sudan?
The first factor is the failed harvest, caused by the late rains in October and November. The second is conflict, which forced 350,000 people from their homes this year. Conflict leads to displacement and displacement interferes with farming. Then, there is the border closure between Sudan and South Sudan. This has made the situation worse. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of South Sudanese are now returning home from Sudan [increasing the numbers of people needing food – ed].
What are the main reasons people have fled their homes this year?
The first is violence between neighbouring communities. At the end of 2011, there was a major conflict broke out that affected over 140,000 people. The second is the violence in South Kordofan and the Blue Nile region which has driven 100,000 Sudanese refugees across the border into South Sudan.
We know that WFP is now working to provide emergency food assistance in South Sudan. What are we doing to build longer term food security in the country?
The weather shocks will come, but the important thing is to build resilience. We're working with communities to help them grow more food, improve storage facilities and improve their access to markets. In fact, we're helping to build a whole network of feeder roads that will make it easier for farmers to get their produce to markets. Another important measure is providing children with proper nutrition to ensure their proper cognitive and physical development, because the future of South Sudan rests on them.
What is the key to insuring food security in South Sudan in the long term?
Only 4 percent of the arable land in South Sudan is currently cultivated. There is huge potential for agriculture. In order to reach that potential, however, communities need peace and stability so they can focus on their livelihoods. Providing food assistance to communities that need it is an important way of supporting that kind of stability.
This picture was taken in South Sudan where nearly half of the population is at risk of going hungry. Getting food to them is tough. It's a country the size of France with less than 60 miles of paved roads. So how are we doing it?
Here's the man in charge of our operation to explain: http://bit.ly/AzGelV
stupid materialistic things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is it that we complain about not having things, stupid materialistic things, while much of the world needs the one thing necessary to sustain life.
Be thankful for them. Say Alhamdulilah

Milarepa brings you back to nature with a relaxing and unique private beachfront setting. Located just north of the Cabo Blanco National Park on the unspoiled southern coast of the Nicoya Peninsula. Milarepa is a romantic tropical escape, set amongst the rainforest and coconut palms at the foot of the Pacific Ocean. Our beachfront property offers spectacular ocean views and unforgettable sunsets. The property consists of a pool-side open-air pavilion dinning room/ living room area, with an attached commercial kitchen and bathroom.. For lodging we have 4 Indonesian inspired bungalow-style bedrooms with open air, en suite bathrooms. The Bungalows are open to nature on all sides and are designed to sit harmoniously within this tropical beach environment. The antique four-poster beds are curtained with voluminous mosquito nets and cooled by overhead fans and feature 300 thread count Egyptian cotton linens. The primary building materials are bamboo and teak for a stylish rustic charm not previously seen in Costa Rica. There are several large mango and Bodhi trees which are home to a large family of howler monkeys. For the past decade Milarepa has been a favorite hideaway for celebrities, athletes, rock stars, and fashion icons.
The Beach
The surf and sea are just a few short steps from your bungalows and feature some of the best surf breaks in Central America. At mid to low tide there are several gorgeous tide pools located directly in front of the property. There is no public access to the pristine white sand beach just in front of Milarepa so at many times of the year you have it all to yourself.
Our in-house concierge service can arrange everything you'll require to complete the perfect getaway. We can provide some of the countries finest private chefs for an inspired tasting menu one night then a local cook for "typical" Costa Rican meal the next. We also offer beverage and wine service, relaxing or therapeutic massage, juice and raw food cleanses, private yoga classes, pilates classes, surf lessons, surf tours, quad tours, canopy tours, and restaurant recommendations and reservations. Daily house keeping is included at no additional cost.

About Caroline Marot
Living in Paris, traveling the world for work and holidays, I had a dream of one day living on a beautiful tropical beach full time! I came to Costa Rica and fell in love with Santa Teresa. This property was the culmination of that dream.
Caroline Marot purchased this estate in 1998

Guestbook comments from the owner
From the moment we arrived til the moment we had to leave (very hard to...) the experience at Milarepa was unforgettable and perfect in every way. The bungalows are beautifully integrated into the environment and simple... they had the necessary to feel comfortable and relaxed. The open-air bathrooms are lovely. Jesica and Nauel (hope i'm spelling his name right) were both remarkable hosts, they made us feel at home and offered to help us in any way and gave us great tips for the area. The dinners are absolutely delicious and fresh, chef Sebastian is a great cook and prepared fresh daily menus. We had the best tuna tartar and mahi mahi ever... I highly recommend The Milarepa!
