Early today, I was doing my �old lady fast walk� on the treadmill at the fitness center, watching mindless television which I never do at home��Say Yes to the Dress� I think it was... I was moving, going fast, perspiring nicely. There was nobody else there; it was great! After about 20 minutes a young, toned fellow leapt onto the treadmill one over from where I was. He cranked that baby up until he was running about a gazillion miles an hour on that thing. Suddenly, I felt as if I were hardly moving.
That old, familiar feeling of �What am I doing here? I don�t belong here. This is for young/skinny/good-looking people.� started to come on. But I said to myself, �Self, this is for you. He�s doing his thing; you�re doing yours. There�s no difference.� And you know what? I was right!
It was great! That was a huge step forward for me, to just stay there comfortably doing my �old lady fast walk�, even if it wasn�t that fast, while he did his �young fella running like hell� run.
We can only be right where we are. If we aren�t there, we aren�t anywhere. Right now, I�m a too-heavy aging lady. I will be thinner, but I will never be younger. And that�s okay. I�m where I�m at right now. The great thing is, I like it!
This comes in response to the degrading way our National Anthem was rendered at Super Bowl XLV. We don't need a law regarding this, but I would encourage everyone to contact the people who make decisions regarding the performance of the National Anthem at public events. Please ask the people in charge to consider carefully who they have sing the National Anthem, and to set some ground rules. Military bands and vocal groups, college bands, talented high school bands, people who actually care about the song and what it means. Please, no more celebrities for whom it is only another photo-op and a chance for some camera time. That is not what our National Anthem is about. Take the money that is now being thrown down the toilet on the so-called "performers" and use it to endow the arts at the chosen schools. This needs to come from the people, "We, the people" who care a great deal about the National Anthem, and what it stands for.
Hello Everyone. It's been a long time since I put up a blog post, and I have missed it! Progress has been achingly slow, but at least there has been some!
The recession has clobbered our piano teaching business, which is our only income. Until the last year or so, it has always been enough. Not any longer. It's been a struggle.
The upshot of it all is that I am back in college. Yes, at this age! It's odd to be the "Grandma" in a classroom!
I decided a few months ago to look into returning to college. At first I was angry...so angry! I was angry at the necessity of it. And also, looking at age 60 really soon, I didn't want to think about "starting over".
But, I've calmed down a bit. I'm enjoying school, as I always have. It's interesting to be around the young people.
I don't know what the future holds, but I do know that it will be interesting!
We just had a week off from teaching, which has been delightful. We didn't get everything done we had hoped to...actually, we didn't get anything done we had hoped to! But, we always make big plans and then do whatever strikes our fancy at the time. It's a pretty good way to vacation.
We celebrated my husband's 65th birthday last Wednesday, which was great fun. We drove to Wichita that day to visit a clinic he is very interested in going to. That was wonderful. They are very focused on health and nutrition, and they work in connection with your primary care provider.
It's not been a "diet week" to be sure. I have two feelings about that. One, it's been great to just relax and sort of "get away" from watching myself like a hawk. I've enjoyed it. At the same time, I've missed tracking my food and progress! I'm not going to weigh myself until next week, after my life goes back to "normal", whatever that might mean! I suspect there are a couple of extra pounds hanging around here somewhere, hopefully mostly water weight because of the extra carbs I ate over vacation. And it's okay.
We had a great time, we're back to teaching tomorrow, and it will be good.
Some time ago I posted a blog about my rings falling off. That was a great feeling, to "under-grow" my jewelry. With the help of something called "ring snuggies", they stay on now. I don't wear them very often, as the snuggie is a little uncomfortable, but I can wear them if I choose to. It will be wonderful when I can finally have them re-sized!
I was sewing a button back on a blouse this morning, and my thimble kept slipping off. Now, the blouse was on the clearance rack, so I'm not distraught about having to sew a button back on! I'm going backwards through clothing sizes, so pretty much everything I buy these days is from the clearance rack! Ungrowing my thimble never occurred to me, though. Is that even possible? The thimble didn't stretch; it's metal! But the dog-gone thing will not stay on.
So, my next shopping trip will be to buy a new thimble. That is so unexpected. And, so amazing.

Bit Loading for MIMO With Statistical Channel Information at the Transmitter and MMSE Receivers
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Bit and power loading schemes for a single-user multiple-input multiple-output channel using a minimum mean-square error receiver are proposed. Such schemes are derived without the benefit of instantaneous Channel State Information (CSI) at the transmitter, on the basis of only statistical CSI. They exploit the relationships between the average bit error probability at the receiver and the power allocation at the transmitter, in the context of spatially correlated Rayleigh fading. The performance of the proposed schemes is then benchmarked with respect to both non-adaptive transmission and to an adaptive counterpart with a zero-forcing receiver.

Velodrome opens its doors
Hoy 'can't wait' for the Olympics to begin
Last Updated: 22/07/11 3:41pm
The 6,000-seat velodrome is the first venue at the Olympic Park to be completed.
Sir Chris Hoy declared he "can't wait" for the Olympics to begin after riding on the finished London 2012 cycle track for the first time.
"It's amazing to see the velodrome finally completed, and to be able to have ridden on it gives me a feel for what it's going to be like in a year and a half's time. I can't wait!"
Sir Chris Hoy Quotes of the week
The four-time Olympic champion was joined by fellow Beijing winners Victoria Pendleton and Jason Kenny plus a team of British sprint stars who are all aiming for London 2012 success.
Sir Chris gave a much-needed cyclist's viewpoint to the designers and architects about what is needed for the venue in Stratford, east London.
He said: "Having been involved in a very small way in the design process in the early stages, it's amazing to see the velodrome finally completed, and to be able to have ridden on it gives me a feel for what it's going to be like in a year and a half's time. I can't wait!"
The VeloPark is expected to come in on budget at around £93 million. The 6,000-seat velodrome, complete with its sweeping roof designed to reflect the curve of the cycling track, is the first venue at the Olympic Park to be finished.
Building work began on in March 2009 and the development has now been handed over from the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) to the London 2012 organisers.
The job now is to install the temporary facilities, such as lighting and scoring, needed to turn it into a world class Olympic and Paralympic venue.
London 2012 chairman Lord Coe described it as "a stunning venue built for champions".
Given Britain's dominance at the Beijing Games in winning eight cycling golds, it is hoped the velodrome will be the scene of further glory in 2012.
Changes to the Olympic programme since Beijing mean only one rider per nation will compete at each event in London.
Everybody will have to continue to raise their games throughout the next year-and-a-half.
The 10 riders from the British sprint team got a valuable chance to try out the Siberian pine track where they will all be hoping to go for gold at the Olympics.
It took a team of 26 carpenters eight weeks to install the track and more than 350,000 nails were used to on its 56km of timber surface.
Organisers are also billing it as the world's fastest cycling track, thanks to a range of tailored features including the track geometry plus the temperature and environmental conditions.
Having seating wrapped all the way round the track should also help to create a crowd atmosphere during events, it is also hoped.
ODA chairman John Armitt said: "In delivering the velodrome on time and to budget we have completed our first Olympic Park venue and our biggest milestone to date.
"The striking architecture of the velodrome and the medal prospects of our world-leading cyclists mean the venue will become one of the defining images from the Games, and a landmark new building for future generations to enjoy."
After the Games, the velodrome will be used by elite athletes and the local community and will include a cafe, bike hire and cycle workshop facilities.

Road Redemption, READ DESC!!
Oki I don't mind 2d platformers (I actually like them a lot), but I think places like Kickstarter are flooded with them.
Therefor I think more people should support games like these where the developers are trying to create something with nextgen(currentgen) grafix. This foto is probably only in beta atm and the screenshot got really blurry.
The game is called Road Redemption and still miss about 73500 dollars for founded. It looks extremely awsome and is inspired by the Road Rash series. You start out as a Thug in a Biker gang and work your way up to be the leader of the gang fighting for control over territory. I could go on but will rather just link the Kickstarter.
And oh yeah, you can kick other drivers into oncoming traffic >

Jimmy Fallon's recurring Tonight Show skit "Ew!" first won our hearts when Michelle Obama gave us this moment:
...So we were excited to see the first lady of pop music, aka Taylor Swift, become the latest celebrity to take on the challenge of playing a nerdy middle schooler. Last night, the singer transformed into Natalie Benson, a 13-year-old with an allergy problem and a vaguely random appreciation for Sean Connery:
It's about as silly as this skit usually is, though the writers managed to slip in a pretty clever "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" reference that we probably should have seen coming. And Taylor (ahem, sorry, Natalie) even manages to throw a jab at a certain other starlet, saying "My mom hasn't let me watch television since Miley Cyrus toured." (In case we need a reminder of how wholesome Taylor Swift is.) (Zing!)
Plus, watching otherwise perfectly polished celebrities sporting the tragic outfits of our tweendomand braces? Never gets old.

10 Crazy Publicity Stunts Rappers Have Used To Promote New Projects
The Rapper: Snoop Dogg
The Stunt: In July 2012, Snoop announced that he was releasing a reggae album and changing his moniker to Snoop Lion, a name that had been given to him by a Rastafarian priest during a trip to Jamaica.
How Well Did It Work? By simply changing one part of his name, Snoop was able to inject a lot of interest into his new reggae project, Reincarnated. Unfortunately, that interest didn't help him sell very many copies of the album. After being released last month, Reincarnated sold just 21,000 copies in its first week.

Beware of the Year 7000
Exhibit opened September 25th at City Lights Gallery.
As we consciously experience a monumental shift in our planet's evolution due to climate change, City Lights Gallery presented Beware of the Year 7000, where installation artists Janice Mauro and Joanne Pagano Weber asked the question, if corporations are people, too, what if they lose their humanity?
It's the second melting of the polar icecap. The power of the few dictate the blueprint of a resurgent planet depleted once again. All resources are up for grabs as the human race divides along biological / robotic fault lines. While multitudes transition becoming semi-human mechanisms under the control of an artificial brain, two artists continue their work in hiding, corresponding by the only thing they have left – their creativity.
Art lovers, thinkers, prophets, or gamers, look no further.
Make ART Not War, Artists Against Violence
City Lights hosted its second "Make ART Not WAR, Artists Against Violence", opening Thursday August 14, with an artists' reception 5:30-8:30 p.m. at 37 Markle Court, Downtown Bridgeport, CT 06604. This group exhibit ran until September 21. Other public events included an artists' talk on Thursday September 11 at 6:30 and a poetry reading on Sunday September 21 at 4 p.m., recognizing the International Day of Peace.
The theme "Make ART Not WAR" provokes artists and viewers to react in a range of expressions. Artists who make work against violence responded to the prospectus producing a strong exhibit of visual and projected art.
"Acts of violence are committed globally and locally, in our communities, homes and families and to ourselves. This exhibit invites artists to manifest their thoughts and feelings against violence as a counterpoint to the violence occurring daily, causing physical and psychological harm. This exhibit is designed to contrast art forms and entertainment that glorify violence, as in movies, television, video games, etc."
This is a serious issue, viewers should expect a number of rather macabre images… but for many game, media and entertainment consumers, a regular psychic and visual diet of violence is the norm, leading to a desensitization or possibly normalization of violence and tragedy.
Featured art will include a large scale painting by Gerald Saladyga called "The Hills Are Alive With…" and Drone Videos compiled by Lisa Seidenberg projected on an installation of military issued mosquito netting and camouflage.
Other artists include: Lynne Arovas, Kofi Ayissi, Penny Cook, Camille Eskell, Patty Eljaiek, Teresa Fortsch, Evelyn Harris, John Kovalsky, Heidi Lewis Coleman, Mitzi Lyman, Julia Liptak, Mia Lipstick, Robert Liseck, Iyaba Ibo Mandingo, Janice Mauro, Shanna Melton, Jack Nork, Michael Quirk, Colleen Reilly Rees, Don Reynolds, Lisa Seidenberg, Debbie Gilbert Taylor, Karene Thames, Jack Tom, Gustavo Azael Torres, Ruth Kalla Ungere, Louise Washer, Danya Wenzel, Francesca Winfield.

Bringing Art to Roosevelt School
Suzanne Kachmar, our program director, is in Bridgeport's Roosevelt School once a week where City Lights' dedicated gallery/studio space brings art and creativity to area students. Our intention is to engage students during school and after school. It takes several days to create and mount a new exhibit. The learning panels are designed so all teachers, especially the art teacher across the hall from the gallery space, can use or visit the gallery space any time. The content presented is designed to promote art appreciation, transferable skills and increase vocabulary. We also will schedule classroom visits with visiting artists who are exhibiting in the Roosevelt school gallery space. As we receive more funding, we can even spend more time at Roosevelt School.

Planned renovations and enhancements in and around Tampa International Airport's main terminal should be enough to extend the building's lifespan by another 20 years, a consultant told the Hillsborough Aviation Board. The improvements should allow the Florida authority to delay spending more than $1 billion on a new terminal.
A key component now taking shape in an updated master plan is an automated people mover that would link the main terminal with the economy parking lot and a relocated rental car facility. Trams similar to those serving airside terminals would reduce vehicle traffic on congested roadways and curbsides. That would help the main terminal handle 30 million passengers annually rather than the 25 million-passenger capacity originally envisioned. Also included in the 20-year plan is space for a light-rail terminal and a convenience store and gas station.

It was a great show tonight....much props to Taco for gutting it out with a 100 degree fever. Stud!
Socal was particularly awesome on this one (more than usual).
So I wake up, have a shower and sit down to check the web and see what's happened overnight.
"Oh there's a new podcast, awesome!"
Start streaming immediately, after a little while I decide to get some breakfast. Two slices of toast, cup of coffee. Harmless enough, right?
So the guys are talking about the D-Line as I sit down on the sofa. I take a nice bite from my toast and go for a sip of coffee. Then I hear the faint sound of the Methwolfe howl just as the first bit of liquid goes into my mouth.
You guys owe me a t-shirt, a pair of jeans and several square inches of unburnt skin.
Great show by the way, some good stuff.
On Champ Bailey, don't forget he might be the most gifted athlete to ever play in the NFL - in college he averaged over 100 scrimmage yards per game as a CB at a top school in the SEC.
He may not be the Champ Bailey he used to be, but then has anyone ever really been that guy? he is still a top CB, he can tackle like a linebacker, he still has his instincts, he is not a slow guy by any means and I think he has a ton of pride in his craft who will not let his game drop.

finally listened to one of these. I'm diggin... Thanks guys
I'm having trouble with the file. It only plays the first ten seconds when I download. :(
All I want to do is hear the Awwoooooo!
strange... looking into it.
Very strange. I was able to download it on 3 different computers, and a tablet with no troubles. It seems to be playing fine on all of them.
TJ, it might have been an issue with my wireless connection, but I tried the download at several different times. To me, it honestly seemed like where it was hosted was having some problems between 9 PM (CST) and 11 PM (CST) last night. I'll give it another go after work this afternoon.
mine was fine. ran in windows media player. it may tell you it doesn't recognise the file type but just go ahead.
working for me now
Worked great last night. AwooooooooO!!!!
Please tell me there was a moment of silence for Neil.
Looking forward to listening to this over the weekend.
So glad that you guys are taking the time to do these again this year. I know it is a huge commitment.
I can't get enought Broncos podcasts. This one is definately in my regular rotation, and I appreciate the hard work putting it together.

With Gabriel (Bosco Mann) Roth at the helm, Naomi and company went into the studio Summer 2013, and cut onto tape what can only be described as bonafide Soul Excitement of the highest order! At the heart of it, Cold World is a Soul record but the cross section of sub-genres the album weaves through makes it difficult to label it plainly as such. There are tracks like 'Sinner', 'Heaven Is Mine', and 'Humble Me' that capture the group's penchant for Soul grooves, seasoned with Naomi's tough vocal delivery, and the Queens melodic interplay, which captures perhaps better than any of the other tracks, NSGQ's live show. Then there's some hard funk by way of 'Bound for the Promised Land', 'Cold World', and 'Thank You Lord' – the percolating church rave-up of 'Get Up, Child', the country heavy 'One Day', and 'I Earned Mine', and the bouncing rumba of 'Everybody Knows.' This album is a menagerie of Soul music at its finest, untied by the strong message-laden lyrics. Trust us, the wait was worth it.

Hotel Akti, Skiathos
10 Traveller
Reviews - Hotel Akti
A great choice!Submitted by: El in 08/08/07
- Age Group: 26 - 30
- From: Greece
- Traveller type: Weekend Breaker
I recommend this hotel,first of all because of its location, which is in the sea-front,very very close to the bus terminal. In addition, the rooms are nice and clean and they have very nice view. The price was ok(60euro for a two bed room) and the staff was pleasant. I believe that if you are looking for a comfortable place in a passable price, Akti Hotel can offer all that.

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun
By Steve Brennan
By Ashley Zimmerman
By his own account -- no birth certificate exists -- Ray Charles turned 69 years old in September. Maybe it was just the night or perhaps just his mood, but Charles sounded something much worse than old last Wednesday: He sounded perfunctory. The incredible range of vocal shadings was there -- the indecipherable grunts, moans, and squeals; the keening falsetto; the rich, grizzled baritone that already sounded ancient, or perhaps timeless, 40 years ago -- but they were delivered without much evident joy or sorrow. Where, one wondered, was Ray's heart? Where was the soul? Where was that singularly transcendent, deeply human quality in Ray's music that made him an R&B star in 1954 and an international pop icon with the release of "What'd I Say (Part 1)" in 1959 and that subsequently carried him through decades of triumphs and failures alike? Where was the genius?
There were a couple of brief flashes, both on ballads. The first occurred during "Georgia on My Mind" when Ray seemed melancholy and sang every bittersweet line as if it meant something to him. The second was a plaintive recitation of "Till There Was You," a song subtly embellished by his 17-piece band and Ray's lonesome and blue keyboard riffs. For the duration of those two songs, it was unpleasant to imagine a world without the elegance and beauty of Ray Charles. For the rest of the set, however, one could only wish for an artist as inspired and enthusiastic as Mandy Patinkin. OK, maybe that's a little much.
Ray was animated. For a blind guy sitting on a piano stool, he sure did move around a lot. He smiled incessantly. He spoke a bit to the audience, mostly garbled nonsense. All of it seemed like practiced, meaningless affectation. He threw off cursory versions of up-tempo R&B material. Other ballads were plodding and wandered off into pointlessness. Even the five Raelets, who were finally hauled out about 20 minutes before quittin' time, were uninspired. After closing with a mandatory pass through "What'd I Say," Ray allowed his valet to lead him off stage. The crowd instantly poured from the theater, precluding any hope of an encore or redemption. The Genius had left the building.
The Culture Room is throwing a big ol' anniversary shindig, and you are cordially invited to attend. "It's just gonna be a cool party with a lot of cool people," promises owner Greg Aliferis. "We're expecting a tremendous crowd."
And why not? Over the past 12 months, Aliferis has established the Culture Room as the area's preeminent bastion of local, original rock 'n' roll music. For four nights every week (Wednesday and Friday through Sunday), the best and occasionally worst of South Florida's rock talent hits the giant, elevated stage of the Culture Room and takes a rip at glory. Admittedly most fail in that regard, but what the hell, at least the place is always rockin'. Generally the sound in the main room is a wee bit on the thunderous side for the Calibrator's tender ears. Likewise, conversation is a bit difficult to achieve, but then who actually converses anymore, and what good does it really do?
Happy birthday, Greg. Rock on.
A Flock of Seagulls, still flapping around 17 years after its new-wave smash "I Ran (So Far Away)" dominated MTV's playlist, headlines the Culture Room's one-year anniversary party Thursday, November 25. The club is located at the southwest corner of Oakland Park Boulevard and Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale. The local rock outfit Purge opens the show, and DJ Jimmy spins progressive and retro dance discs all night. Should be cool. Call 954-464-1074.
If you have any interest at all in classic late-'60s and '70s reggae, you'll want to be at Vintage Reunion '99 Friday night. The Calibrator strongly believes that, aside from Toy Story 2, Vintage Reunion will be the feel-good hit of the season. Last year -- the reunion's second -- a mixed crowd of more than 1900 reggae enthusiasts showed up at Alpha Banquet Hall in North Miami for the annual event. Fay Hanse, the sweet lady who conceived and organizes the affair, expects an even greater turnout this year as she brings the sweet sounds of Jamaica's finest back to scenic Pembroke Pines, where the reunion began and where anything that has to do with fun rightfully belongs.
The lineup for the evening -- most of which is being flown in from Jamaica -- is stellar and includes the likes of John Holt; the great vocalist and bassist Leroy Sibbles; the mellow, chart-topping proponents of "lover's rock," the Melodians; the Queen of Reggae, Hortense Ellis, sister of Jamaican rock-steady legend Alton Ellis; and one of reggae's most respected backing vocal groups, the Tamlins. Also on the bill are Carl Dawkins, Ernie Smith, and local hotshot Audley Rollins. Finally Lloyd Parks O.D. & We the People Band will accompany every act. Now if all that doesn't feed your classic reggae jones, you have problems beyond repair.

Baseball | 2012 Topps, featured, Rally Squirrel, Skip Schumaker, St. Louis Cardinals, World Series | Comments (30)
By Chris Olds | Beckett Baseball Editor
The Rally Squirrel has a rookie card.
As seen in the pages of the latest issue of Beckett Baseball arriving on Wednesday — the same day as 2012 Topps baseball — the beloved rabble-rousing rodent who became an icon for the St. Louis Cardinals' run to a World Series title now can be found in packs of cards.
It's one of a few surprise short-printed variation cards to be found in the product — so it's not really a Rookie Card — but it should be one that commands attention from collectors. (It's also an idea that we floated about last October — click here to read that story — when some members of the baseball world were going nutty. Maybe we weren't alone.)
So, who is this Rally Squirrel guy? Well, during the bottom of the fifth of the Cardinals' win over the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 4 of the NLDS, he darted across the Busch Stadium field just as Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt delivered a ball to Skip Schumaker — not the rodent's first appearance in the postseason, but one that got plenty of attention.
It became, for whatever reason, a rallying moment for the eventual champs with t-shirts, Twitter accounts and more on the Internet noting the trivial moment in history — something forever linked to the Cards' title.
Now, it's forever immortalized on cardboard.

I love it! I am a huge Cardinals fan, and I enjoy some gimmicky cards, so this one is aimed right at me. Hope I get one in my jumbo box.
I wonder what the card number will be? Will it also be #93 which is on the preliminary checklist for Skip Schumaker?
Really? A squirrel on a baseball card? For once, a short print I don't want. Nice try Topps.
Thats not the real rally squirrel!
I really don't understand some people…Why WOULDN'T you want this card????
Cincy: That's just nutty!
hey Michael…..you mean ONE card for the rally vermin that you dont want ?!?!?!
But……….you do want the countless gobs of deceased/retired/etc. player cards that Topps has produced the last few years ( like DiMaggio, Ruth or whomever……just saying theres 'seems to be' an overabundance of them lately )……something like this is different. Wheres the shot of a player picking his nose (there seems to be a lot of them on the games I watched last year on DirectTV) ??? LOL
I'd rather have a card of the most fearless animal in all the animal kingdom according to Guiness Book of World Records.. The Honey Badger….
If the card said 'STL Rally Squirrel' instead of 'Skip Schumaker', I'd be much more interested! I think it is funny and unique that Topps added the squirrel to the set and I'd like to have one. It still won't make me buy boxes of basic Topps to find it though.
Love it! Anyone who doesn't like this please don't complain about Topps doing the same old things every year. For anyone who actually watches and follows baseball, this was one of the big stories of the postseason, and the perfect representation of the crazy run the Cardinals have, and absolutely deserves to be represented on cardboard. Cardinal fans will be all over this card and other than the Pujols SP this might be the hottest SP in Series 1.
But I, for one, prefer the basic, consistent, historical feel of the series 1/2/ud product, with as few gimmicks as possible. When I want to see animals, I'll go to the zoo or buy A & G. But I do agree, that Cardinals fans / collectors might want this more than me, so if I get one, I'd be happy to trade it.
Folks this is what collecting cards has become, a joke. Save your money.
What's wrong with a little fun, Larry?
I think it would have been cooler to just add the squirrel in to the photos of all the cardinal player cards here and there as a team variation kinda like the where's waldo thing they did with the sparkle last year. still cool though.
I'm not a Cardinals for nor do I care for squirrels however I vividly remember watching this and absolutely love that they chose to put it on a card. It tells the story of baseball as every card should. What is with somee of you so called collectors complaining about seemingly everything about the hobby. Everyone has a right to their opinions but some of you miserable misers are enough to turn new people away from the hobby. Speak with your wallets if you don't like something that's the only voice that will get heard.
This is definitely nuts. Why all the love for a squirrel and none for Anaheim's Rally Monkey? I personally don't care to have a critter on a card unless there is a ballplayer on it too (not just his foot) but how can they feature a squirrel and not the Rally Monkey? Where is the love? Equal opportunity?
I would not mind having one. I read where they are not going to be in the regular packs. I was going to buy a box of the series 1. The seller said it would not be in it.
I am a huge St. Louis Cardinals fan and think this "rally squirrel" thing is nuts! Again, bottom line it's for nothing but money, money, money. It's an insult to all of our talented players. Believe what you will but the skills and talents of our players won the World Series and didn't need help from a stupid rodent.

Briggs & Stratton Corporation Gives You More Garage Space With Mow 'n' Stow™
MILWAUKEE, Jan. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Come Spring 2014, engine experts with Briggs & Stratton Corporation (NYSE: BGG) are delivering homeowners the ultimate ground-breaking, space-saving solution for their garage: a gas-powered lawn mower capable of being stored upright at a one-hundred-ten degree angle. Briggs & Stratton Mow 'n' Stow™ engine technology is debuting on the Toro ® Recycler ® mower with SmartStow ™ feature.
To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://www.multivu.com/mnr/65220-briggs-and-stratton-mow-n-stow-mower-stored-upright-for-more-garage-space
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120529/CG15020LOGO)
Made possible with Briggs & Stratton's patent-pending engine design, SmartStow can easily fold, requiring up to 70 percent less storage space than a traditional lawn mower. The folding process takes only three simple steps and the deck of the lawn mower can be stored in an upright position. Not only does this innovation address homeowners' issues with storage, it results in easier access to the underside of the lawn mower for cleaning and maintenance."Garage space is at a premium in most homes," says Carissa Gingras, Director of Marketing at Briggs & Stratton. "Homeowners told us they wanted a lawnmower that took up less room and was easier to clean and maintain, and Mow n' Stow solves both needs." Key changes to the Briggs & Stratton Mow 'n' Stow engine technology enable gas and oil to stay in their respective places, preventing leakage. "We needed to make sure that the system could be stored safely with a full tank of gas without spilling," says Briggs & Stratton engineer Jacob Schmalz. "To accomplish this, we redesigned some of our vents and put in some new oil seals. Features such as toggle locks have been conveniently placed on the lower handlebars so it can be locked safely into place when stored." At 7.25 ft-lbs. of gross torque*, the engine offers the same great cutting power, performance and ease of starting homeowners have come to expect from Briggs & Stratton.

The Carolina Panthers made their first significant roster move since their playoff loss to San Francisco by signing cornerback Anderson Russell to the active roster.
Russell, who signed with Washington as an undrafted rookie from Ohio State in 2010, played in three games for the Panthers late in the 2012 season mostly on special teams, with one snap at cornerback. He went to training camp with Carolina before injuring his right ankle, and he was waived/injured in September.
Two cornerbacks Captain Munnerlyn and Drayton Florence are among the 20 Panthers set to become unrestricted free agents on March 11. Cornerback James Dockery is a restricted free agent.

Bad service
New albany bob Evans I ordered soup and potatoes take out. It is already prepared so I figured 10 minutes. Oh no, 45 minutes. They forgot about my order. And people were just standing around. It is poor service.!!!!!!
New albany bob Evans I ordered soup and potatoes take out. It is already prepared so I figured 10 minutes. Oh no, 45 minutes. They forgot about my order. And people were just standing around. It is poor service.!!!!!!
I would like to speak personally to someone in the corporate office about my dining experience in Martinsburg WV. The are I was. Ad from the start to the finish. Looking forward to explaining the disappointing dining Exoerience
I am disappointed in the reviews that i have seen here. Most of us try really hard to rise to Bob Evans ideals of cleanliness and good hot food.
Went to Cherry Valley SW Near Newark waited 30 min for our food and finally we got up and left this has happened 4or 5 times this year I have been going to their place since the first store, however after today I will be looking for other place to dine
Used mens' room at Bob Evans on rt 306 by rt 2 in Mentor. Urinal overflowed on the floor. Wasn't the first time it happened; I reported the same problem to management 6 months earlier. Finally reported it to the Lake County Health Dept. The food is generally good and service is prompt & courteous, but nobody thinks about urine being tracked from the restroom floor to the carpeting in the eating area.
We been going to Bob Evans for years and they've been going downhill for years. Most go to anymore are filthy! Think they need better management and training for their help and clean the places up!
check out bob evans in Jackson mi. the worst ever --very bad
I ordered on line from the Montgomery, Oh store at 6:40 and the conformation said my order would be ready at 7:05, got there at 7 and at 7:45 I finally got my order!! Then had to go back in because they had forgot something. I will never go back to this location!!! An hour to wait on a family meal and all the manager said was sorry!!!
Disappointed-no refill of drink, no strawberrys for pancake special-had to change order-no butter given with breakfast and had to go to counter to get-requested sample of strawberry sweet tea-given as I was leaving, just tasted like ice water with very little taste added-ordered a brownie at checkout-(given a peanut butter brownie behind display-fine but only wanted regular-luckily could eat peanut butter, didn't know until in car)
I got meatloaf at the piqua ohio be 40214 thought meatloaf tasted funny cut it open in the middle and it was raw. I would expect that from another place but not here. Wish i could send you a picture of it.
Belton Bob Evans.Sat. 1/18/2014 we went for breakfast seated at 9:10, ordered food at 9:20 ok so far.10:00 we started asking where our food was. Managers got involved 10:25 no results .Belton Mo. Bob Evans won't see me or my family again,or anyone else I can tell them of my experience.
For the second year I have had to purchase my gift cards for family from other restaurants. BE no longer offers with the purchase of a certain amount a bonus card. I don't need more cookies! SOME SPECIAL. I always took the bonus cards because they helped extends gifts. I asked last year for corporate to be aware that we want the original gift card special at Christmas back. I would rather buy Bob Evans than Brios and other restaurants that still offer bonus cards that help me financially stretch my dollars. I am very disappointed. I always spend at least $400 on cards!
Reviewing Defiance ohio Bob Evans... Consistently good food and friendly service... BUT sometimes the hostess makes everyone wait even though There are many available tables...not a good practice...
We ordered Wednesday our Thanksgiving meal(Ham dinner-baked sweet potato-applesauce-2two rolls #2 Country Fried Steak-mashed potato-country gravy-bana nut bread.To picked up @1:00PM.Arrived 10 mins. early.The order was so messed up.Was told they were not doing the steak, no baked sweet potato.wanted to add 2 slices of pie But did not get them..So upset signed for the order and left.Very upset!!
Visited the Bob Evans location on Ford Road in Canton, Michigan yesterday. Not only was the restaurant pristine clean (including the bathroom), the wait staff was prompt and friendly and the food hot, fresh and very good. It was a wonderful lunch from beginning to end. I never comment on restaurants, but was so impressed, I wanted to share.
What did you do with the Tomato Basil, its fall and winter here and you took off the best soup ever and replace it with chili.(nasty) I don't know who thought up the burgers meat but its awful with bad surprises in the meat. If you want to do away with a soup get rid of cream of broccolli it smell badly.
Recently I was at the Dearborn resturant location I was very disappointed that I waited nearly 45 minutes for my food only to have it ice cold when it did arrived. I will never visit another Bob Evans or recommend them to anyone. I got u and walked out, I didn't receive any apology or anything from management.
I was very dismayed to see Bob Evans listed among the sponsors of the Greene County Fair where a picture of the Ku Klux Klan won first prize in the Antique pictures category. Glorifying the Klan is not something I can agree with. If Bob Evans has no problem with this then I have made my last visit to a Bob Evans
Went to the Harrisonburg, Va. (# 0402) location this AM (7/31/2013) for Breakfast, arriving at 7:35 am. Waitress was very nice and accommodating. However, we were 1 Customer to late to order and receive the Menu item WAFFLES. We were told we just ran out of mix. Others were eating them and while we did stay and order other meals there were others that were told the same, including 1 table near us that got up and left because of not having any more. I feel there was little or no excuse for this that early after opening. Other then this disappointment, all was good. I do frequent this location, but was really concerned and will think about this before visiting again. Not all places have Waffles, but there is a IHOP a few Streets away.
I went to the Bob Evans in Jackson, Ohio and ordered breakfast with an extra egg and when the order came and I mentioned it to the waitress, she said "Oh Well". Her name was Frankie, she was very rude and out spoken. I wasn't the least impressed with with Bob Evans and I have eaten at many of your establishments from Ohio to West Virginia. Also I have started eating the hash browns instead of your home fries, cause they are never done and hard....if you ask to get them done, they come out burnt and that has always been the case. I actually thought I had a good restaurant in Jackson, Ohio with Bob Evans being here but realized I don't, service is terrible and food isn't the best.

It looked awesome online but when I got it, it wasn't satisfactory. It's pretty thin and smaller than I thought. Overall though, it's a good jacket, just not for me.
Love it! I would wear it everyday if I could. Bought it in store it was only $40
