Now that you can stream music on your phone, is there any need for a sat radio subscription? asked May 05 '13 at 16:01 Kevin Kelly Bandwidth caps, poor 3G coverage, travelling over international borders, sports.
1 year, 8 months ago
I like it on long drives so I can just listen to one program or game. I know phones can do it but with the new bandwidth caps that are being imposed on Verizon users, streaming isn't optimal. Plus most radio streams on the net don't include sports. I loved being able to listen to the NCAA tourney while driving from MI to NY through Canada and not getting nailed with extra fees. linkanswered May 10 '13 at 11:04 Ajax |
I will do whatever possible to keep satellite radio, now that I finally own a car new enough to come w/it installed. I love the different genres of music that are available at the flick of the dial, the comedy channels, all of the different news options... I could go on and on. The phone app is not enough to replace having the radio in my car. I see others who have remarked on "terrible" reception; I honestly haven't seen that issue, and any minor/intermittent issues with reception are most likely caused by solar activity and are more than outweighed by the usefulness of having radio reception when taking long car trips through the boondocks. linkanswered May 10 '13 at 10:22 |
I got several free months of XM after buying my new car, but I would never pay for it. The content was mostly the same as what you get on FM radio in any town, though some specialty stations (underground, indie, reggae, metal, etc) were a nice change. The reception was terrible, at least in my town. Every time I drove next to a building or near trees, the signal would cut out completely. There are lots of trees here, so I would often get frustrated and switch back to FM. linkanswered May 10 '13 at 09:17 CWilson |
I have been an XM customer for about a decade. The service's price has escalated quite a bit in that time (I wish I had pulled the trigger on the lifetime membership years ago), which caused me to alter my plan last year to only include talk radio. Of that, I actually only listen to two or three public radio stations. It's about 10 bucks a month to do so, but given my location out West, the ability to pull down public radio regardless of my location is a tonic. Perhaps some day when cell towers become more prevalent I will be able to get public radio programming through my phone, but for now, satellite is the way to go for me. answered May 10 '13 at 08:55 |
I am no longer a Sirius XM customer, but there are compelling differences between their product and "your phone". Data and CoverageAs I understand it, a significant number of people use satellite radio in areas where there isn't great radio coverage. I expect that these areas don't have great cellular coverage, so streaming on your phone probably isn't an option. I live in an area where I have perfectly fine 3G/4G coverage, but cellular data is still priced at an unreasonable premium. Being able to use a small amount of data (throughout the month) is worth it, but casually using 100MB/hr would put me over my limits. However, again, I think that's not even an option for truckers, ex-urbs, rural dwellers, or professional drivers. Specialized HardwareLeaving that aside, Sirius XM has nice hardware that lets you find what you're looking for (and browse) without distraction. I probably use my phone to power my car stereo more than anyone I know, and I'm still hugely frustrated by the fact that it's a phone. Sometimes you pick it up to fast-forward through a track, and you have a notification about some social media activity. Or a new email. Or a sports score. I am skeptical of people that refuse to text in the car, but claim to be perfectly capable of finding the perfect iTunes, Spotify, Pandora, or Songza playlist for the moment, given the UX limitations in those mobile apps. On a piece of car equipment, you'll find a power button, a keypad to enter a channel number, and buttons to channel-up or channel-down. Largely distraction-free. ContentIt's been a while since I sold the car that had Sirius XM in it, but in 2012, there were content exclusives that had no phone equivalents. Their kids station is fantastic, and almost worth the entire cost if you have kids 2-13. (I don't think Pandora or Songza come close.) Their news station selection is probably unrivaled, as they simulcast a number of cable news channels, again in a way that I don't think they've distributed to phones. One of their "indie" stations reached out to five MP3 bloggers and gave them hour-long weekly shows over lunch. And while a lot of the sports leagues are catching up to MLB's app, having all that content together is a really big part of their offering. (And all this leaves aside silly "anchors" like Howard Stern, Oprah, and Martha Stewart, who mean a lot to dedicated audiences, but who don't factor into the average person's decision to buy or not buy.) linkanswered May 10 '13 at 08:44 dnord |
I have an XM radio integrated with my GPS on my motorcycle. Channel changes and volume controls are done from the GPS screen, and the XM audio is muted whenever the GPS navigation lady needs to talk to me. I pay a little extra for XM Traffic and Weather, which feed in info that the GPS uses for navigation calculations, such as routing around road closures and traffic jams. I mainly got the XM because I ride a lot in areas that don't have terrestrial radio reception -- places like the wilds of central Nevada, northern British Columbia, the Yukon and Alaska. Even with a big library of MP3's, I'd rather listen to curated music on a commercial-free XM station. On days I'm on a long ride (750+ miles), it's nice to be able to listen to a baseball game, or an 80's Alt station, or even ESPN Radio, just to have something different. linkanswered May 09 '13 at 22:04 tcfjr |
I've read that some roadster lovers are dumping their Sirius for this tecno product. http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/7/prweb9731518.htm linkanswered May 09 '13 at 21:12 Maintcmh |
Many reasons. BBC World Service. No ads (or, more accurately, very few; there are ads for other Sirius/XM stations). Excellent disk jockeys (Michael Tearson, Mark Marone, Meg Griffin). Good talk radio services (CSPAN, POTUS.) I'm irritated that the free Internet listening is gone, and I refuse to pay extra for it, but otherwise I am very glad to have the service. linkanswered May 09 '13 at 20:18 derbes |
Constantly. I assume you're looking for a better reason then "More music" but that really is all there is to it for me. I'm in my car for at least 2 hours a day so about 10 bucks for dozens of channels of music doesn't strike me as any odder then paying for cable TV. And I avoid "dead zones" where they are no strong, clear channels I want to listen to. linkanswered May 09 '13 at 19:44 |
I listen all the time in the car. The sound quality is worse than FM, but I don't have to listen to obnoxious ads (at least on the music stations) and I can get coverage even in the boonies where no FM or cell phone signal reaches. I subscribe to the a la carte version, so for less than $10 a month I can hear lots more new music than I could pay for with Pandora and a data plan for my mobile phone. The cost for their Internet stream is too high, though—you're much better off paying for the premium service from Pandora, Spotify, Slacker, etc. linkanswered May 09 '13 at 18:41 sobiloff |

Redirected from Shaco the Demon Jester
Champion | Background | Strategy | Skins & Trivia |
Statistics Edit | ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
Ability Details
Backstab is a passive ability that triggers when Shaco attacks or uses an ability on a unit that is facing away from him.
Additional Information:
- Backstab's bonus damage applies to Shaco's autoattacks and abilities, except for Jack In The Box.
- Backstab does not increase the damage from summoner spells or items.
- Backstab also applies after a critical strike is achieved. If you were to critically strike for 500 damage, the same critical strike would do 600 damage from behind (500 + 120% = 600 damage).
Ability Details
Deceive is a ground targeted blink ability.
Additional Information:
- Deceive's damage bonus replaces the normal critical strike modifier, causing it to actually do less than a normal critical until the skill is at least at rank 4. It is affected by critical damage bonuses like Infinity Edge.
- Deceive will apply bonus critical damage on top of its modifier. For instance, with Infinity Edge (+50%) and Rank 5 Deceive, Shaco will deal bonus damage equal to 170% of his attack damage (crit = 100% + 50% bonus from IE +20% bonus from Rank 5 Deceive) . This is before any other bonuses or mitigation are applied. Note that if Shaco were to attack the target from behind it would deal 20% additional damage on top of the critical strike itself making the total damage of the attack equal to 324% of Shaco's total attack damage.
- i.e. Shaco has 150 attack damage:
- Rank 5 Deceive crit from behind with Infinity Edge = [150 + ([1.20 + 0.50] × 150)] × 1.20 = 486 total damage.
- Deceive's casting animation (an orange puff of smoke) can be seen by both teams through the Fog of War.
Ability Details
Jack in the Box is a ground targeted ability that places a pet at the target location.
- Does not apply spell effects.
- Magic damage will be mitigated by magic shields.
- Spell shields will block the fear, but not the attacks.
Additional Information:
- Casting Jack In The Box creates a puff of smoke that is visible even through brush and the fog of war, and makes a distinctive sound that can be heard by enemies.
- Boxes are immune to ability damage and displacement effects while in stealth. As such, they can be used to block skill shots.
- Boxes will not be triggered by enemies that Shaco does not have sight of. As boxes grant sight, this is only true against stealthed enemies, or while Shaco is affected by Paranoia and Smokescreen).
- Stealthed boxes will be revealed and disabled by Sweeping Lens.
- The fear can affect stealthed enemy champions, but it will not reveal them unless the target's stealth state depends on their location or movement (e.g. Teemo's Camouflage or Akali's Twilight Shroud).
Ability Details
Two-Shiv Poison's passive grants an on-hit effect.
When activated, Two-Shiv Poison becomes a targeted ability that applies the on-hit effect.
- Applies spell effects as a single target ability.
- Spell vamp is fully applied.
- Rylai's Crystal Scepter will apply a 35% slow.
- Magic damage will be mitigated by magic shields.
- Spell shields will block Two-Shiv Poison's active.
- This ability is considered to be a projectile for Unbreakable and Wind Wall.
Ability Details
Hallucinate is a self-targeted ability.
- Leash Radius: 1125
- Applies spell effects as an area of effect ability.
- Spell vamp is reduced to one-third effectiveness.
- Rylai's Crystal Scepter will apply a 15% slow.
- The clone will apply on hit-effects just a Shaco would.
- Magic damage will be mitigated by magic shields.
- Spell shields will block the clone's explosion.
Additional Information:
- The clone will not apply spell effects with its attacks, just its explosion.
- While the clone is active, you can use the spell again in order to issue commands, similarly with Alt-Right Clicking. Each "activation" of the spell will cause the clone to move towards the cursor location or to attack whichever enemy unit the cursor is hovering over.
- Shaco briefly becomes untargetable when casting Hallucinate.
- The clone will receive its own Banshee's Veil, Guardian Angel or other item buffs.
- The clone cannot be the source of aura buffs, but it can still be affected by nearby auras.
- Hallucinate spawns Shaco and his clone with consistent orientations. Shaco faces the same direction as he did when the ability was cast. The clone faces towards the top of the screen.
- Shaco's clone will benefit from certain stats gained from items from attack speed and crit chance.
- Shaco's Clone will not benefit from certain item effects such as:
- Spellblade and Youmuu's Ghostblade's active
- Runes and Masteries do not increase the clones stats.
- The clone displays its real stats, which makes it fairly easy to find the real Shaco.
- Shaco's Clone is also capable of picking up Health Relics on Dominion and Howling Abyss.
- Shaco's Clone cannot lifesteal.
Ability Details
Jack In The Box is a static, autonomous minion that attacks nearby units and structures.
- Is not affected by Counter Strike, Riposte, Aegis Protection and Blind.
- Classified as a minion for targeting purposes.
- Boxes will prioritize the nearest enemy champion that has damaged Shaco or that Shaco has damaged, preferring to attack that champion whenever it is in range, even if they have moved too far away before walking back into range.
- Does not benefit from Banner of Command.
- Boxes can attack 9 times in their lifespan.

When the heating system in Murkland Hall failed in late January causing water damage to various parts of the building, it's likely there wasn't much thought given to the upside. Turns out there was one, though.
Cleanup efforts uncovered the original charter of UNH's Phi Beta Kappa Society, issued in December 1952.
Linda Johnson, government information librarian, discovered back in 2010 that the charter was missing. Now discovered, the document is being restored by Bill Ross, the head of the Milne Special Collections and Archives. He hopes to reverse some of the damage to the document, which will be displayed once a year when the honor society inducts new members.

Subaru B9 Tribeca Brake Problems
I just test drove 3 different Tribecas and all of them had very soft, mushy brake pedals. The pedal would go down about 3 inches when coming to a stop. My 03 LLBean has a hard brake pedal that moves very little. Anyone care to comment about the brakes?? I want to buy the B9, but not with a brake problem. Had a 96 Outback that the pedal was similar and at times would touch the floorboard.

paisan Posts: 21,181Lighting/Electrical? Don't you mean Brakes?
Anyway, check your brake fluid level as the brake light will come on when the fluid level is low, when you are depressing the brakes it may be creating enough vacum that it's tricking the light into thinking there is enough fluid.
I would doubt that you should need fluid unless you have 20k miles or more on the car, or there is a leak somewhere in the system.

occking Posts: 346Had my car in for service the other day (52k miles) and have it regularly serviced every 3000 miles. Was shocked to find out that the brakes were 90% gone in the front, and close to that in the rear. I was quoted $260 for complete brake job for the front & same for the rear. As I obviously put a lot of miles on the vehicle, I had it done at the dealer (Somerset Subaru, Somerset, MA) I supposed I could have shopped around, maybe Firestone or Goodyear and gotten a better deal, but I have accumulated several hundred dollars worth of Subaru Bucks & used them. Still have enough left for any major service work that will come up.
The dealer said that getting 52k out of the brakes was better than average. Anyone else out there with a similar experience, get it done at the dealer, or elsewhere? -
cluelesspa Posts: 648I have about 52k and the pads were under 2 on the measurement scale which means here in PA they wont pass inspection. I just had them done at the Firestone shop Front only. my rear pads were 7 so not needed for a while. I also use the engine to slow down by down shifting so maybe why I get 52k plus around 40% of the mileage is highway.
anyway just the front with turning the rotors (they would not skip turning the rotors) :-( was $140 after coupon for $50 off. -
occking Posts: 346On my 06 I had front brakes completely done for $260 at 52k miles at dealer, than at next oil change at 55k miles had the rear ones done, also around $260. I have accumulated plenty of Subaru Bucks, so really didn't cost much of anything. The dealer commented that was pretty good mileage on brakes. Probably 80% of my driving are highwaymiles.
bgunit68 Posts: 18We replaced our original tires and brakes at 54,000 miles. They had told us the front and back needed replacing. The original tires, with the rotation, lasted a long time. I'm not a big fan of the tires but they lasted a long time. I put a set of Michelin Synchrone tires on. My mileage improved and the handling around turns is incredible. I am reaching 80K on my Tribeca now. I think it's time for a new one
paisan Posts: 21,181Are you doing pads and rotors or just pads?
If it's pads only you should just need a 14mm wrench and a set of brake clamps or a U-Clamp to compress the caliper pistons, 15 min max.
If you are also doing the rotors, you'll need a 17mm wrench as well, should take 30 min max.

09tribeca Posts: 2Have you had any response from the dealer or any others?
I had the same problem. Not only that, I also hear a continuously high pitch noise (not loud but definitely audible) between two clicks (pressing to releasing the brake paddle). I was told by the dealer the clicking sound is the "characteristic" of the model (2009 Tribeca Ltd.), and the best mechanic in this dealership could not "duplicate" the high pitch noise! Also bear in mind, all these started to happen couple months after I purchase this brand new vehicle!
I am going to contact Subaru Canada or America to verify this issue. Would you mind sharing the status of your complaint?
Thanks! -
09tribeca Posts: 2I have a 4 months old 2009 Tribeca, 7 seater Ltd. package. It has 8,000 KM (5,000mile). About 2 months ago, I started to hear the "clicking" sound when pressing and realsing the brake paddle. Between the two clicks, I also hear a continuously high pitch noise (not loud but definitely audible).
I took it to teh dealer, but was told the clicking sound is the "characteristic" of this particular model, and the best mechanic in this dealership could not "duplicate" the high pitch noise! Bearing in mind, all these started to happen couple months after I purchase this brand new vehicle!

YGD Response to Doping Masters Rider..We have a problem
17 comments:
Nice. And at the bottom of your blog there is the ad for HGH and HRT from ehormones.com
No kidding. - November 25, 2013 at 11:59 AM
Makes me want to start my own drug testing company because it doesn't seem like it would be that hard to test someone's urine and shouldn't have to be THAT expensive. NorCal has some suspiciously successful racers as well. (including Masters)
- November 25, 2013 at 12:31 PM
@Anonymous #1 Funny, I had an ad for Zappos there. Maybe they know I haven't been on my bike as much...
- November 25, 2013 at 12:40 PM
the ads are there because you've checked out the site being advertised prior to coming here,likely more than once, and there's a good chance you purchased something from them in the past. I see Zappos ads everywhere I go - I'm one of their best customers. So, think before you condemn, and maybe delete your cookies first before you comment.

I am sure you vicious guys who are kicking the busted while he is down are really smart. So tell me, how many new riders does busting this flake bring in? Cycling is big in the cities of Cal yes. Maybe even on the Atlantic coast. But inland, many of us do major windshield time to get to a race, and none in the winter. Spend that money on some indoor dromes and bring in new racers and spectators not send away those who cheat a little. LA got a 1 per cent boost? Not worth it. Who is doing best for cycling? Red Bull with their little traveling drome! Do not get caught drinking it, verboten!!! Suckers get some moxie!

Not all So Cal masters racers are doping...or dicks...next time you are in So Cal...hit me up, and you can have a team mate for the day, and we will try to find some fast and cool dudes...including Seth, from Cycling in the South Bay.

SoCal is pretty awesome, and the racing is top notch. Dopers? Less lately. Jim, I'm not sure what you just said.

Having to pay higher entry fees to be inconvenienced by drug testing is a bad trade. The tests are not fool-proof. Your employer getting wind of a false-positive can inflict much more damage than getting dropped in a race.
- November 25, 2013 at 5:51 PM
ATX Master. Great post. I'm for more testing in the 40+. I know what I've been smelling in the pack. It's called Testim 1%. Bread and water here and still beating most if not all those clowns on that crap. Sad.
- November 25, 2013 at 6:18 PM
Raced for 23 years and am the same age as Meeker. My results pale in comparison but I can go home every night to two kids age 14 and 12, who play sports, and look them straight in the eye, and tell them Dad has done it the right way.
Too bad some guys my age lose sight of what's really important in life. Not what you did, but who you affected by what you did so it better have been right. - November 25, 2013 at 6:57 PM
Thanks YGD for a great post.
Note that the ehormones ad is not just shown to browsers that have previously been to that site. It's likely an ad based on content in the blog post. Clean your browser settings and try it, the ad will likely persist - November 25, 2013 at 7:00 PM
It's possible to win everything, I had a stellar season after busting my ass for 3 years then putting in a hella winter of training, was absolutely floating, rode away from pacelines and out climbed the mountain goats even at 6'4", all on bread, water and suffering like a beaten dog. You've got to be a sad fuck to cheat, even worse to cheat at Masters. Wouldn't piss on these guys if they were on fire.
- November 25, 2013 at 8:23 PM
I actually race in the 45+ and 50+ masters races out here and it is a tough gig,,I am an amateur schlepper, raced off and on for a few years and when I lined up I saw the same thing, ex pros, ex olmypians, world champs, multiple national champs and I say WTF am I doing here with my one man team,,I am here because I love to ride and race my bike,,,and when I took 5th in my age group at a crit this summer I was happier than a pig in shit because I know I did it the right way,,,i may not win but if I can get in a sprint I am gonna bury someones ass,,The love of cycling,,,,ride on, cheaters,,,rot in hell!

The drug he used, Nandrolone...also genericallly known as Deca Durabolin is a steroid that without argument will help an athlete, but is really not a drug that would help an endurance athlete enough to roll through races placing first or second consecutively. Certain not to the extend of blood doping or even EPO will. Just doesnt really impact crit levels.
Certainly builds muscle, adds mass (WEIGHT) all of which does not add an advantage to a W / Kilo numbers. In fact, has a negative on them It doesnt increase crit levels, VO2 Max, marked increase in red blood cell production or a stimulant.
It will assist in recovery to a certain extent of training modalities, primarily straight up strength training. However, using Deca alone for bike racing, unless the only race is a 1 kilometer spring....pretty useless
Based exclusively on the article and the info the author infers......this guy did not win those races due to Deca alone, and if that was the only drug discovered in his system...... he won them based upon training......
Granted, its banned, so he failed a test. He should be suspended. But the guy writing the article would not place any better in his racing by taking Deca.....he needs to train harder
- November 26, 2013 at 7:55 AM
Responding to one of the previous posts, the main number I have heard thrown around per test (per rider) is right around $600.00. Yeah, it sucks. This is one of the big limiting factors for the lack of testing at the amateur levels.
- November 26, 2013 at 10:48 AM
If you read the AAA decision it is pretty clear that he tampered with the Hammer products that he sent to a lab for testing in order to "prove" his tainted supplement defense:
What a douche. - November 27, 2013 at 9:10 AM
In response the post about nandrolone being useless:
That post is very wrong. In fact, nandrolone has often been the roid of choice for endurance types because it builds muscle, aids recovery, but does not result into much added bulk and/or weight. It also DOES help endurance. It does that by increasing red blood cell count. More red bood cells equals better endurance. It has been used therapeutically as a treatment for anemia, like many other anabolic steroids. In fact, anabolic steroids were often the drug of choice to treat anemia before the advent of EPO.
Is Meeker a schmuck? Most defin itely. His bust answers alot of questions about SoCal cycling and opens the door to many more. Let the testing begin!!! - November 29, 2013 at 11:42 AM

Best agenda I've seen for some time. I may need to become schizophrenic to attend all the sessions that are relevant to Kellogg!John Gregory, European Finance Shared Services Director, Kelloggs (October 2013, regarding 2014 show)
I found the European Shared Services & Outsourcing Week extremely valuable. This was the first conference of its type that I have attended and thought there were some good concepts being debated. The range of technology providers across the various stands also allowed me to assess what's available in the market to support process development.Richard Cottam, Head of Finance Shared Services, British Gas
The networking at the European Shared Services & Outsourcing Week was very useful - especially giving me a chance to meet people in similar roles, facing similar challenges in other organisations. One of the evening receptions, The Mat Hatters Tea Party worked very well and really encouraged people to mix.Liz Ditchburn, Relationship Leader, Kimberly-Clark
We are now in a people business and that is a big issue. The relationship we are having with the customer is much more important than it has ever been before. SSON is setting itself to be a real player in the shift, and this is where the real attraction comes from.Nigel Kilpatrick, Chief Sales Officer, Tibco Nimbus May 2013
You can spend a lot of time doing a lot trying to reach these people by email and phone but here you have the advantage of not only being in the same place as them but actually having SSON's team getting you some face time with those people.Joana Monteiro, Marketing Manager, Winshuttle
You are the leaders actually of such events providing a lot of networking opportunities.Krystian Bestry, Head of BPO Services, Infosys
The European Shared Services & Outsourcing Week was well-organised, with a lot of opportunities to meet people with diverse experience. There was a lot of information – and attending the event changed my opinion on SSC and provided me with a positive outlook.Lavinia Marconi, Finance Manager, Bacardi

Our 2011 Toyota Sienna stalled and the dealer couldn't find out why
We bought our 2011 Toyota Sienna back in December and had been happy with it until last week. It stalled when my husband stopped at the ATM to get cash last Thursday. The van stalled again several times when he was stuck in traffic. He then drove the van straight to the dealer where we bought it. Initially, the dealer thought it was the computer but then after checking the computer, it wasn't the problem. The dealer couldn't figure out the problem so it contacted Toyota. Toyota suggested to replace the fuel pump. Today the technician called and notified that the fuel pump was replaced, but the problem remains unsolved. So now the dealer has to work with Toyota again to see how to get it fix. The good thing is the dealer gave us a rental car (a nissan altima), the bad thing is we do not like it. We bought the van for reason (kids!). Any Sienna owner ran into this problem? We hope Toyota will have an answer soon, or this could be the last one we will purchase from Toyota.

I also had door problem with my left side power door.
After you pull the handle and release the door would open automatically
if the locks aren't on.. When I pulled this particular door handle it would stop and beep several times almost 2 inches away then freeze..
I would have to wrestle it back to close position then it would normalize.
This occurence would be random..
I brought it back to Parkway Toyota dealer and they couldn't verify this and was turning me away, so I was successful at showing them the problem
and they called California but couldn't figure out the solution..
I then brought it to Toyota dealer in Springfield and they couldn't verify the problem so hence no solution..I am trying to see if there are more occurences like this out there and how to proceed. -

lomacol1 Posts: 1Our 2010 Toyota Sienna stalled while driving. We were lucky it was not the highway. We had it towed to the dealer and they claimed that it was a fuel pump problem. They are replacing the pump. How safe is my Sienna? Should I replace it? Every time my family ride in it I will be worried?
vjgop Posts: 1My Toyota Sienna is also having problem. I have brought 2011 Model LE. My issue is while driving automatically all the doors were opened. Sometimes, I will hear sound that Passenger seat belt should be worn, but there are no passengers in my van.
Please let me know if any one has the same problem. -

A picture perfect day in the Bay Area is ending and we have three picture perfect people to discuss:
3. Chris Stewart
2. Jeremy Affeldt
1. Madison Bumgarner
They're each perfect for their own reasons. Stewart is the quintessential underdog getting a back-up chance because of an injury. Maybe he hasn't made himself invaluable, but he's certainly making a case for valuable. His hits are rather timely and his cannon is… a cannon. For lack of a better word.
Affeldt has had his fair share of struggles and doubt from fans but his dominance today was something to watch and it couldn't have been better timed. He is beautiful. Not the weird beard, or anything. His presence on the mound and his pitches are what I talking about. And, you know, for every strikeout he records he donates money to Free2Play. So this was kind of a good day for the fight against human trafficking.
Speaking of dominance?
This post goes out to the People Who Wanted MadBum to skip a start. If this doesn't teach you that a) patience is a virtue and b) flukes happen, nothing will. That is all. His performance speaks for itself.
So the Giants just swept the Indians. I type that in ever so slight disbelief and a huge, huge smile on my face. And I am not a huge smiler, usually. The great thing about that is that it catapults the Giants into first place, a game (and nice li'l .5) in front of Arizona and the Tigers into first place, a game ahead of the Indians. This is called a double whammy, people, and I am loving it. Four more series to go before the All Star Break and I am feeling positive beyond belief. Maybe it's that raspberry sorbet popsicle I had during a Palo Alto pool party (way too Social Network reminiscent for my taste, I kept quoting Sean Parker). But I'm inclined to think it's a team called the San Francisco Giants.
Sweet dreams and happy summer. It feels like it's finally here.
Diamond Girl
p.s. Good choice, ESPN! Or maybe they enlisted help from Frank McCourt's guru on what game to feature and it wasn't their idea at all?

What is this product used for: Probios Horse Treats are a lactose-free treat that are a source of direct fed microbials that promote digestion and a healthy body. It also helps maintain joint function.
Benefits: Probios Horse Treat Hip and Joint are a source of direct fed microbials in a lactose-free treat format. The direct fed microbials help maintain proper gut flora and help support gut absorption. The treats also help maintain joint function. Probios Horse Treats Hip and Joint are for all breeds and all horses. The treats are apple flavored, a flavor horses love.
How it works:Since one direct fed microbial alone cannot provide all the required health benefits, Probios Horse treats contains two species of live Bacillus that can survive the treat manufacturing process: Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis. As direct fed microbials, they promote breakdown and assimilation of nutrients while helping to maintain proper gut flora. Glucosamine and chondroitin help maintain normal cartilage and joint function.

Good, easy to feed.
I give these to a horse that has a gassy problem, and a horse that is recovering from Lymes disease. This product helps them!!
I also give to the other horses when traveling to different places.
Probios Horse Treats
Effective in treating horses with stomach problems. Excellent to give as a snack in between feedings to prevent gas build-up.
Best Digestive Support I've Found!
These treats are little miracle workers! In the past, our horses always suffered from diarrhea whenever they had to rotate pastures. We've had all three of them on Probios Treats for about six months, and even after multiple pasture rotations they have not had runny stool even once! We add three or four to theiir natural feed, and also use them as training rewards. They love them! Thank you, Probios!
Probios Horse Wafers
Recommend the wafers for those horses, like mine, who won't eat powdery supplements well. I have horses off the track that gobble them down.
Love it!
Was told about Probios treats several years ago and decided it was worth a try. I have two horses in their mid 20s, and when they came to me they needed some TLC and special feeding. That worked, as far as it went, but with feeding just one treat a day, they just bloomed. They have more energy, move easier, and eat better! They are both used for therapeutic riding occasionally, which gives them a purpose. Thanks for making such a wonderful product that works, and doesn't cost a fortune.
Probios Horse Treats - definitely a hit with our horse!
Very palatable and obviously healthy. Our QH gelding can barely contain himself when he hears the bag opening. Ears up and nickering, he can hardly wait to have a treat. The Probios powder was also recently added to his diet as we had difficulty resolving a loose manure problem. His hair coat looks better, the manure is now normal, and his overall condition is much better in a few short weeks since beginning with the Probios product. I'm impressed.
Great product!
I love these for my "hard keeper" Thoroughbred! He loves the taste and I know that he gets his probiotics regularly. We simply feed them with his grain. The consistency of feeding this product definitely has kept his belly happier.
Great horse treats.
I purchased Probios horse treats because they are recommended by Joe Camp on his website Soul of a Horse. I knew they were a healthy choice from his recommendation. My horse loves them and they work very well for teaching him tricks. He has learned to smile for his treat. I can't wait to teach him more.
Easy to feed, and horses seem to like it
This product is easier to feed than the powder, and the horses seem to like it better. Great product
Horses enjoy the cookies. The product appears to help reduce/prevent diarrhea.
Purchased this product to address diarrhea that the horses developed due to constant changes in the quality of the hay available. Started out giving the horses two cookies at the morning feeding and two cookies at the evening feeding. Then increased the evening dosage to three cookies. After a couple of weeks on this regime the severity of the diarrhea decreased significantly. After a couple of more weeks the diarrhea stopped.
The product worked and was very palatable to the horses.
Easy to feed, and the horses seem to like it
These treats are easier to feed than the powder, and the horses seem to like it better. Great product!
Horses Loved These!
I always carry treats in my pocket (or saddle bags when riding) because whenever I'm with my horses we are always in training mode. These are a healthy reward that my horses love.
Great, easy to feed product!
Love that it comes in this treat form! A couple of my horses wouldn't eat the powder. They eat this with no problem! :)
We appreciate the convenience and saving of ordering online and our horses love them
We started using the Probios treats when we adopted a standardbred rescue mare about a year ago. The foster family had been giving them to her and felt they had helped her. We do not use this mare but are just giving her a good few last years as her previous lives as a racehorse and Amish horse took, their toll on her legs. She was purchased from a kill lot by the rescue group and was very much underweight. She is beautiful and sleek with a shiny coat now, even the winter coat shines. We also give these treats to our 25-year-old Arabian gelding and our pony. It is an easy way to give these supplements and the horses love them.
When we applied for our first rebate, we got the information about ordering online which saves a lot of money, and we always order enough to get free shipping. This way we not only save money but have the convenience of always having the treats on hand.
Best Treats for Training!
Not only do I give these treats as a daily supplement, but I use them for training treats. I break each one in half, and keep several in my pocket. When I get in the saddle, they each know to flex both ways for their treat before we head out on the trail or begin training. I think these are absolute genius!
The perfect probiotic treat for horses on pasture!
I have two horses which honestly, beg for these treats every day. Everyday when they see me pull in they run to the barn and whinny until i give them their Probios Treats. I use Probiotics for myself and I am glad that these treats are so easy to give to my horses since they do not get daily grain and are predominately pasture horses. I can even feel good about using these treats as training treats while breaking our youngest horse. He is very open to doing just about anything, but at the end of each session he always looks for his Probios Digestion Support Horse Treats!
very good treat and great digestive results
my horses consider these treats but i consider them a part of their daily digestive health program. they love them and eat them willingly.
Use in Rabbits
We use these biscuits or our foster bunnies at our shelter and I use them for my personal elder bunnies and it keeps them from going into statis as often and they LOVE them . They are good for keeping weight on the older bunnies also .
Thank you !
Best of Show!
I have a 20 year old Colorado Ranger Horse. I help him maintain his zest for life by giving him Probios Horse Treats with Glucosamine in his Amazing Graze toy every day. On no other supplements, he is as limber and willing as he was years ago! Thanks for a Great Product!!
Great for House Rabbit Digestion
This product is terrific! My rabbits adore it & beg for their "cookie" every morning. It really seems to help keep their "funny bunny" digestive system in great working order. I absolutely cannot run out! Disapproving rabbits can ruin one's day!
No more diarrhea
My filly Dee had diarrhea over a whole weekend so I had my vet come out to look at her. She's had a few episodes before, but this one was the worst. The vet said it might be irritable bowel syndrome because this had happened a few times before and recommended switching her to hay and adding a probiotic. I found these treats and they're really easy to use, so I've been giving them to her every day for a couple weeks. I definitely saw an improvement and decided I'm going to keep adding them to her feed.
Definitely works for my horses
My 26 year old gelding loves these treats, and they seem to be helping him. I started him on the treats about 2 months ago, and his joints appear to be improving. He definitely seems to have an easier time moving around and getting into the trailer. i have 4 horses and I want to start feeding these to all of them.
Best Treat Since Apples
My horses go crazy for these treats. It is amazing that they can hear me open a bag all the way across the pasture. They come running. Not only do they love them, but they are wonderful for their digestive system as well. They would rather have these instead of an apple or carrot.
Excellent product. Easy to feed and the horses gobble them up...
I would highly suggest the Probiotic treats. Especially, if you are like me, and have horses that don't like powdery supplements. My horses love these...
