MARIA STUARDA Makes Met Premiere on New Year's Eve Starring Joyce DiDonato
Joyce DiDonato stars in the Met premiere of Donizetti's Maria Stuarda, in a new production by Scottish director David McVicar, opening with a gala performance tonight, New Year's Eve. The opera, which dramatizes the famous rivalry between Mary, Queen of Scots and her royal cousin, Queen Elizabeth I, is the second opera in the composer's "Tudor trilogy," a trio of works about English queens of the 16th century.
Maurizio Benini will conduct a cast that includes South African soprano Elza van den Heever in her Met debut as Elizabeth I; Matthew Polenzani as Leicester, whose affection for Mary provokes Elizabeth's jealousy; Joshua Hopkins as Cecil; and Matthew Rose as Talbot. McVicar's production of Maria Stuarda will feature set and costume design by his fellow Scotsman, John MacFarlane, lighting designed by Jennifer Tipton, and choreography by Leah Hausman. The Saturday, January 19 matinee performance of Maria Stuarda will be transmitted worldwide as part of the Met's Live in HD series, which is now seen in more than 1,900 movie theaters in 64 countries around the world.
David McVicar will direct the Met premieres of all three operas in Donizetti's famous Tudor trilogy. On opening night of the 2011-12 season, his production of Anna Bolena premiered with Anna Netrebko in the title role, and in a future Met season he will stage the final opera in the series, Roberto Devereux. McVicar made his Met debut with an acclaimed staging of Il Trovatore in 2009, a production that has since been performed more than 30 times at the Met and will return to the repertory this January. In April, his inventive staging of Handel's Giulio Cesare, a hit at the Glyndebourne Festival and Lyric Opera of Chicago, will come to the Met with David Daniels and Natalie Dessay in the leading roles.
Joyce DiDonato made her Met debut as Cherubino in Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro in 2005 and has quickly become one of the company's leading artists, singing Stéphano in Gounod's Roméo et Juliette, Rosina in IL Barbiere di Siviglia, Isolier in the Met premiere of Le Comte Ory, the Composer in Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos, and, last season, Sycorax in the world premiere of the Baroque pastiche The Enchanted Island. She made a critically acclaimed role debut as Maria Stuarda at Houston Grand Opera in April 2012. This season, she also sings Romeo in Bellini's I Capuleti e i Montecchi at San Francisco Opera and the Bavarian State Opera in Munich; and Elena in Rossini's La Donna Del Lago at the Royal Opera, Covent Garden.
Elza van den Heever makes her Met debut as Elisabetta. The fast-rising soprano made her professional debut as Donna Anna in Mozart's Don Giovanni at San Francisco Opera in 2007. She has subsequently sung major roles at many of the world's leading opera houses, including Frankfurt Opera, where she made her role debut as Elisabetta in November 2012 and where she has sung Donna Anna, Elisabeth de Valois in Verdi's Don Carlo, Elsa in Wagner's Lohengrin, Vitellia in Mozart's La Clemenza di Tito, Antonia in Offenbach's Les Contes d'Hoffmann, and Desdemona in Verdi's Otello. Other recent appearances include Fiordiligi in Mozart's Così fan tutte at Paris Opera, Armida in Handel's Rinaldo at Lyric Opera of Chicago, and Leonora in Verdi's Il Trovatore with the Canadian Opera Company.
Matthew Polenzani starred as Nemorino in the new production of L'Elisir d'Amore that opened the current season, a role he reprises in a series of performances this January and February. In recent seasons, his starring roles at the Met have included Alfredo in the 2010 new production premiere of La Traviata, Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni, Ernesto in Don Pasquale, Tamino in Mozart's Die Zauberflöte, Belmonte in Mozart's Die Entführung aus dem Serail, and Roméo in Roméo et Juliette. Earlier this year, he sang the Chevalier des Grieux in Massenet's Manon at La Scala and the title role in Massenet's Werther at Lyric Opera of Chicago. Later this season, he sings the Duke of Mantua in Rigoletto at Vienna State Opera and the title role in Les Contes d'Hoffmann at San Francisco Opera.
Canadian baritone Joshua Hopkins made his Met debut as Ping in Puccini's Turandot in 2009. His recent performances include Marcello in Puccini's La Bohème at Houston Grand Opera and Ottawa's Opera Lyra; Argante in Handel's Rinaldo at Glyndebourne; and the title role in IL Barbiere di Siviglia at Kansas City Opera, Vancouver Opera, and Arizona Opera.
English bass Matthew Rose made his Met debut as Colline in La Bohème in 2011. He appears frequently at the Royal Opera, Covent Garden, where he has recently sung Colline, Lord Sidney in Rossini's Il Viaggio a Reims, Sparafucile in Rigoletto, and Masetto in Mozart's Don Giovanni. Last season, he sang John Claggart in Britten's Billy Budd at English National Opera and Walter Furst in Rossini's Guillaume Tell at the BBC Proms.
Maurizio Benini's last Met performance was the season-opening new production of Donizetti's L'Elisir d'Amore, an opera he also led for his company debut in 1998. In January, he will conduct the first Met revival of Rossini's bel canto rarity Le Comte Ory, an opera he led at its company premiere in 2011. His other Met appearances include many performances of Rossini's IL Barbiere di Siviglia, including the 2006 new production premiere; the new production premiere of Donizetti's Don Pasquale; and performances of Verdi's Rigoletto, La Traviata, and Luisa Miller, Rossini's La Cenerentola, Gounod's Faust, and Bellini's Norma.
John MacFarlane has designed both sets and costumes for Maria Stuarda. He made his Met debut with Richard Jones's hit production of Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel in 2007. Lighting designer Jennifer Tipton's Met designs include Hansel and Gretel, Stravinsky's The Rake's Progress, McVicar's staging of Il Trovatore, and this season's new production of L'Elisir d'Amore. Leah Hausman made her Met debut providing choreography for McVicar's Il Trovatore production.

BOSTON — The youth movement is in full swing.
That doesn't mean the Red Sox are folding the tents on this season, however.
The hope is that the addition of Mookie Betts — as was the case with the addition with Brock Holt in mid-May — will give the Red Sox the kind of offensive spark that can propel them back into contention in a mediocre American League East. Betts isn't only supposed to be part of the future. He's supposed to be part of the present.
"By no means have we turned the page on this season with the addition of young players," Boston manager John Farrell said before Monday's game, the team's first game at Fenway Park in more than a week. "We're looking for energy. We're looking for talented players to join the veteran players that are here."
Entering play Monday night, the Red Sox were six games under .500 as well as six games behind first-place Toronto. Three of their four opponents leading up to the All-Star break — the Chicago Cubs, the Chicago White Sox and the Houston Astros — are at least five games under .500 as well.
One night after playing right field at Yankee Stadium, Betts was in center field for the Red Sox. The versatility of Betts and Holt, who played third base Sunday and right field Monday, will allow Farrell to rotate the young players through the lineup without leaving anyone on the bench for too long. Xander Bogaerts was out of the lineup Sunday but back Monday; Jackie Bradley Jr. was out of the lineup Monday but expected to be back Tuesday.
Betts singled and drew a walk in his first game on Sunday night, showing the type of mature plate approach that allowed him to compiled an on-base percentage better than .410 at each of his last four minor-league stops — including a .425 clip in 106 plate appearances at Triple-A Pawtucket.
"He controlled his at-bats very well, particularly the one at-bat where he walked," Farrell said. "I thought he battled inside the at-bat and took a couple of close pitches. I thought emotionally he was well under control."
More work for Ross
The widespread perception is that David Ross only catches Jon Lester. Ross also has caught Jake Peavy semi-regularly, however; he was behind the plate for Peavy on Monday, the seven time in 17 starts this season that Peavy has thrown to Ross.
With starting catcher A.J. Pierzynski catching a Sunday night game in New York and the team getting back to Boston at 4 a.m. Monday morning, it was natural that Ross would catch Peavy on Monday.
Ross hasn't offered much offense this season — he was hitting .180 with a .240 on-base percentage entering play Monday — but he'd also hit solo home runs in back-to-back starts. He homered off Oakland's Tommy Milone at O.co Coliseum on June 22, and he took New York's Masahiro Tanaka deep on Saturday night at Yankee Stadium.
"He's always been a good fastball hitter," Farrell said. "When he's gotten into some fastball counts, whether in the middle of an at at-bat or first pitch, he obviously has the ability to hit the ball out of the ballpark."
Welcome back
Less than four weeks after suffering a subarachnoid brain hemorrhage, hitting coach Greg Colbrunn has rejoined the Red Sox.
"It's great to have him back," Farrell said.
Colbrunn was hospitalized in Cleveland after dealing with a headache and dizziness, and he stayed in the hospital for an extended period of time for observation. He stayed in touch with the Red Sox coaching staff via phone and text message while he was away.
Colbrunn wasn't expected to stay at Fenway Park for the game Monday night. He's still building up his endurance and tolerance for what he can handle on a day-by-day basis. But he's expected to accompany the Red Sox for their next road trip to Houston on July 11 and to accompany the rest of the Boston coaching staff to Minneapolis for the All-Star Game the following week.

Bergenstal RM et al. – The threshold–suspend feature of sensor–augmented insulin pumps is designed to minimize the risk of hypoglycemia by interrupting insulin delivery at a preset sensor glucose value. Authors evaluated sensor–augmented insulin–pump therapy with and without the threshold–suspend feature in patients with nocturnal hypoglycemia. This study showed that over a 3–month period the use of sensor–augmented insulin–pump therapy with the threshold–suspend feature reduced nocturnal hypoglycemia, without increasing glycated hemoglobin values.
- randomly assigned patients with type 1 diabetes and documented nocturnal hypoglycemia to receive sensor–augmented insulin–pump therapy with or without the threshold–suspend feature for 3 months.
- The primary safety outcome was the change in the glycated hemoglobin level.
- The primary efficacy outcome was the area under the curve (AUC) for nocturnal hypoglycemic events.
- Two–hour threshold–suspend events were analyzed with respect to subsequent sensor glucose values.
- A total of 247 patients were randomly assigned to receive sensor–augmented insulin–pump therapy with the threshold–suspend feature (threshold–suspend group, 121 patients) or standard sensor–augmented insulin–pump therapy (control group, 126 patients).
- The changes in glycated hemoglobin values were similar in the two groups.
- The mean AUC for nocturnal hypoglycemic events was 37.5% lower in the threshold–suspend group than in the control group (980+–1200 mg per deciliter [54.4+–66.6 mmol per liter]×minutes vs. 1568+–1995 mg per deciliter [87.0+–110.7 mmol per liter]×minutes, P<0.001).
- Nocturnal hypoglycemic events occurred 31.8% less frequently in the threshold–suspend group than in the control group (1.5+–1.0 vs. 2.2+–1.3 per patient–week, P<0.001).
- The percentages of nocturnal sensor glucose values of less than 50 mg per deciliter (2.8 mmol per liter), 50 to less than 60 mg per deciliter (3.3 mmol per liter), and 60 to less than 70 mg per deciliter (3.9 mmol per liter) were significantly reduced in the threshold–suspend group (P<0.001 for each range).
- After 1438 instances at night in which the pump was stopped for 2 hours, the mean sensor glucose value was 92.6+–40.7 mg per deciliter (5.1+–2.3 mmol per liter).
- Four patients (all in the control group) had a severe hypoglycemic event; no patients had diabetic ketoacidosis.

Major cuts proposed at Selfridge Air National Guard Base
Leaders to hold news conference Friday
HARRISON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WXYZ) - More than 600 families could be affected by proposed cuts at Selfridge Air National Guard Base.
The Air Force aims to cut $8 billion from its budget. Bases across the country will be affected including the Selfridge base in Harrison Township.
Under the plan, the Air Force would remove all 21 of its A10 fighters from Selfridge, affecting about 650 people who work with the jets.
A few refueling aircraft would be transferred to the base, but it's unclear how many support positions the move would create.
Leaders at Selfridge are holding a news conference Friday to talk about how the proposed cuts would affect operations and personnel at the base.
"I will not rest until Washington understands the reality of what is being proposed," said Major General Gregory J. Vadnais, the adjutant general of Michigan.
The budget cuts still need to be approved through the appropriations process.

As a young boy growing up in Pittsburgh, Uncle Milton Toys cofounder Milton Levine enjoyed collecting ants in glass jars and observing their behavior. In 1956, Levine fondly recalled his childhood memories after spotting an ant mound during a Fourth of July picnic and soon set about creating both the Uncle Milton Toys company and its first product, the Ant Farm: a transparent ant habitat that has since achieved iconic status. Today, Uncle Milton Toys produces the Ant Farm Revolution (a modernized formicarium featuring a light display) and many other science-related toys for kids, including the Moon in My Room (a wall hanging that displays the 12 phases of the moon), the Solar System in My Room (a light-up sun surrounded by orbiting planets), the Rainbow in My Room (a rainbow projector), the Star Theatre Pro (a home planetarium), and "Horrible Pets" (remote-control tarantulas, roaches, and other creepy-crawlies). The company's collaborations with the Star Wars franchise, the Jim Henson Company, National Geographic, and other prestigious brands have helped it become the science-toy leader.

I'm a bit fuzzy on my memories back then too. But I know one thing, I'd love to see those photo's of Epcot. If you can scan them and post them here maybe someone could help too.
I have a book that might be in a Library around you that is called "Walt Disney's Epcot Center" by ABRAMS.
There are so many pictures of Epcot under construction that you might be able to narrow it down. The book was published the year Epcot opened, it is an over sized coffee table book.

A Sunday of football can be as euphoric as it is numbing. The excitement is supercharged with clashes and hits, and moments when televisions yell and Dan Dierdorf calls a football play a football play. And then quickly, it's on to the next moment, and the next play.
It's a cycle of joy, the greatest source of glee we have this side of tasting cake for the first time as a child. Or later on, grasping a bag of sand for the first time.
There's only one flaw in our steady diet of weekly heaven in the fall: the constant chaos and frantic pace of an NFL Sunday shrinks our already short 2013 memories, making us forget about the last wicked football thing that happened eight minutes ago because we're busy enjoying the next slice of awesome.
Let's fight that great plague together.
Each week we'll review the main sources of awesome and awful as they pertain to our fantasy football tears and fears. Let's start with Terrelle Pryor, a guy who would have been my last guess to lead any post of this nature, but here we are.
I may have said something about Pryor pulling a 2011 Tim Tebow on us, but I won't go head high prancing just yet. You might start pointing out all the predictions that aren't even close, and we don't need that.
But you do need more Pryor in your life. A lot more after he had 59 rushing yards in just the first half of Oakland's 21-17 loss to Indianapolis on five carries (11.8 YPC), highlighted by a 29 yarder. He then finished with 112 rushing yards, along with 217 passing yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. That all adds up to 19 fantasy points, 11 of which came from Pryor's fast moving legs.
In a week when Peyton Manning had 46 fantasy points during his obscenely ridiculous Thursday night with seven touchdown passes to tie a single-game record (it was the first time any quarterback had thrown seven TDs in a game since 1966), Pryor's fantasy point total seems good and fine. Then when we throw in Colin Kaepernick's 30 points with his also amazing 412 yards and three scores, Pryor gets devalued a little more.
The practice of doing that seems absurd because Kaepernick and Manning are always on an entirely different level than Pryor. But comparatively, that wasn't true this week.
Kaepernick and Manning are universally owned, and are only available in three-team leagues where your dog is commissioner. Pryor, meanwhile, is almost universally unowned, and yet with two games remaining in Week 1, he's currently a top 10 fantasy quarterback.
Consider the names who finished with less production and less Week 1 fantasy worth than Pryor, who's 10th right now. Among them are other universally owned quarterbacks like Tom Brady, Cam Newton, Tony Romo, and Russell Wilson, who had fine afternoons in their own right, with the exception of Newton. But yet there's Pryor, who outproduced them all even through he's unowned in 89 percent of Yahoo leagues, and 93 percent of ESPN leagues.
Let's keep repeating this company line then: as long as he's the starting quarterback in Oakland, Pryor will redefine our vision of the oddity player, the one who struggles or is average at best in reality, but can be a fantasy stud most weeks with what he'll accomplish using his legs and running ability. What was encouraging today, though, is that he was able to make throws, showing a strong and — dare I say it — even accurate arm during a game that was far closer than it should have been.
He won't rush for over 100 yards every week, because that's only accomplished in video games and pleasant dreams. In one start he's already set the Raiders' record for quarterback rushing yards in a game, but he doesn't have to keep breaking his own marks to maintain viability as a fantasy option. During his 11 starts in 2011, Tebow averaged 56.5 rushing yards per game while scoring six times. In doing that he maintained appeal as a top 10 fantasy quarterback through just his rushing, and Pryor is able to do more as, well, an actual quarterback.
The Raiders have the Jaguars next, the same Jaguars who allowed the Chiefs to score 28 points today. If you own one of those elite names above, you're doing nothing. But if you're among the many who aren't in that privileged group and you waited for some of that sweet late-round quarterback value, Pryor has a much higher ceiling in that matchup (and most weeks) than Joe Flacco, Carson Palmer, Ben Roethlisberger, or any other similar ilk that was plucked in the 10th round and beyond.
Embrace Pryor, and next Sunday will be filled with even more awesome.
Elsewhere in amazing
A.J. Green: Green continually beat up on Charles Tillman, though the Bears cornerback still snagged two interceptions during Chicago's win. Doing his deep ball thing often, Green caught passes for 42, 21, and 47 yards, while averaging 18 yards per ball snatching (162 yards in total).
Reggie Bush: Being a crazy freak who can play through a dislocated left thumb and a groin pull and still doing anything at all is already a fine accomplishment. But dealing with that while recording 191 total yards split almost evenly between rushing and receiving is something that mere humans aren't capable of at all. Hey, remember the entire offseason when we talked about Bush's rejuvenation as a receiving option? The breakaway speed he showed on a 77-yard touchdown run against the Vikings when he was barely touched looked pretty USC-y.
Larry Fitzgerald: It's truly remarkable how much having a competent quarterback can do for a receiver who's far more than competent. Over 16 games and 71 receptions last year, Fitzgerald caught only four touchdown passes. Today after just one game, he already has two.
Anquan Boldin: Throughout the offseason there was considerable worry about Colin Kaepernick's receiving options, or rather a lack thereof with both Michael Crabtree and Mario Manningham shelved. I was among those who expressed something that fell short of worry. Let's call it concern, because although Boldin is a fine receiver, going deep vertically isn't his game.
Yes, those words do taste delicious.
Anquan Boldin's 2nd season opener w 10 receptions & 200 receiving yards (2003). No one else has done that in NFL opener since 1966
— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) September 8, 2013
Boldin finished with 13 catches for 208 yards and a touchdown during the 49ers' win over Green Bay. Last year, Boldin's yardage total over his first three games 118, and Sunday he shattered that mark by being exactly what he was for Joe Flacco: always open, and a constantly rolling panic button who battles for and secures balls in the air. The completions mostly didn't come through sheer speed, but instead Boldin found space while Kaepernick (who finished with a passer rating of 129.4) was being creative in the pocket and locating his own green areas to work with.
The result was an immediate connection, and four receptions for 20 yards or more.
Adrian Peterson: Hooooo hum. Just this, on the Vikings' first play of the season. You're silly Adrian Peterson…
That was Peterson's fifth career rushing touchdown of +70 yards.
Jordan Cameron: There are very few things that Brandon Weeden did right while he threw three interceptions, all of which came over his first 12 attempts. In fairness to Weeden, Rob Chudzinski and Norv Turner evidently think he's an entirely different person, and they removed the ball almost entirely from Trent Richardson's hands even when an eventual loss to the Dolphins was close until about the four-minute mark of the fourth quarter.
Anywho, back to Cameron, who will get pretty much every Weeden target over these first two weeks with Josh Gordon out. Today that absence resulted in 13 targets, which Cameron turned into nine catches for 108 yards and a touchdown (17 fantasy points using standard scoring). Just once, our fantasy overlords allowed us to have a sleeper we've been pumping for months.
Jared Cook: The day of the tight end was a good day. Cook is a tight end in name only, as his job description goes much deeper than that. He lined up in the slot on 76.7 percent of his snaps in 2012, versatility which, as expected, led to immediate widespread usage with the Rams, a team that won one of the eight Week 1 Sunday games decided by a touchdown or less. Cook finished with 141 yards on seven catches with two touchdowns.
Shane Vereen: As a Ridley owner, you're excited because Vereen took advantage of Stevan Ridley's ball turfing which deeply angered Jedi Belichick. Ridley was benched for the second half in New England's win over Buffalo, and Vereen was then given an opportunity to run for 101 yards on just 14 carries (a mighty fine 7.2 YPC). In what's been a generally horrible Week 1 for running backs, only Ridley and a guy who isn't a running back (Pryor) have rushed for over 100 yards (once you let that sink in, please recall that Peterson had a 78-yard run, and yet he isn't included in the esteemed Week 1 100-yard club).
You should be super excited about Vereen's rushing. But since Ridley will ultimately work his way back into at least a time share, you should be far more jacked about Vereen's 10 targets, seven of which were caught for 58 yards. Vereen's quick emergence as a receiver is equally vital for Tom Brady owners after an offseason was spent wondering how Brady would breathe and function normally upon losing nearly all of his 2012 pass catchers. Vereen is a critical part of the solution as the closest option Brady now has to an Aaron Hernandez after the running back spent nearly 20 percent of his snaps last year lined up in the slot.
Where did you come from?
Joique Bell: Unbelievably still unowned in a healthy chunk of leagues that apparently don't value handcuffs (33 percent of ESPN leagues, and 67 percent of Yahoo leagues), Bell proved what we've been saying for a while. With the rapid-fire passing of the Lions' offense there will be plenty of footballs to distribute (Stafford led the league in passing last year, and chucked 43 times today). Bell will be a consistent PPR flex, and showed as much with his five catches for 67 yards today. For some sweet bonus gravy, he also vultured two rushing touchdowns.
Julian Edelman: Danny Amendola left with an injury briefly today, because that's what Danny Amendola does. When he was gone, Edelman received more looks, reminding us that in the rare instance where handcuffing a wide receiver is wise, he's your guy.
But overall even when Amendola wasn't grabbing a part of his body on the sideline, Edelman was still targeted often by Brady. Familiarity is a wonderful thing, and for Edelman (who's almost universally available on the waiver wire, FYI) it meant red-zone looks and two touchdowns. Prior to today Edelman had scored only four times over 48 career games.
Jerome Simpson: Also almost universally unowned (which will change in, oh, about 48 hours), Simpson kept Cordarelle Patterson firmly behind him with 140 yards on seven catches. Let's file this under vicious numerical outliers too: look at that yardage for Simpson today, and then remember that over 12 game appearances last year he had only 274 yards.
Quotes of the week
Mike Wallace was angry at fact he had only one catch. Asked about the game plan, he responded, "ask coach not my game plan."
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) September 8, 2013
Ummm, Mike, your team won the game. A win is better than a loss, and you're making $30 million in guaranteed green, and $60 million overall. You could probably find a few more cordial words to say after one poor Sunday personally at the office.
But I suppose this reaction is understandable after looking at Wallace's gameplan.
Colin Kaepernick: "If intimidation is your game plan, I hope you have a better one."

Let's end with something warm and happy: a recap of the day's notable injuries.
- Steelers center Maurice Pouncey tore is ACL and MCL, and is done for the season. It's a devastating blow for a Steelers offensive line that was hoping to finally provide some stability in front of Ben Roethlisberger, with David DeCastro healthy.
- Colts tight end Dwayne Allen didn't return for the second half of the win over Oakland due to a hip problem. We don't know the extent of the injury yet, but if Allen misses time Coby Fleener could free himself from the shackles of a tight end tandem, if only briefly.
- Chill out, Jamaal Charles owners. He has a quad injury and was pulled from the Chiefs drubbing of Jacksonville, mostly because the score was 28-2. He'll be fine for next week.
- Blaine Gabbert needed 15 stitches in his right hand to repair a laceration. But that's not why he sucked. No, he sucked because that's all he's capable of right now. Supreme sucking, complete with throwing two interceptions, getting sacked six times, and leading an offense that didn't cross the 50-yard line until the fourth quarter. But really, this is all you need to know…
Anquan Boldin has more receiving yards than the Jaguars had total offense. /logs off life

Opening Day is here.
I guess this means it's time for me to stop being a baby and get over the way last season ended. This would be easy if it wasn't for the ___ ____Cardinals winning the ___ ____ World _______ Series and then (and then!) watching them open the season by winning without one of the greatest hitters (and __holes of all time) or their ___hole manager. The Cardinals are in first place right now and that is honestly the last thing I want to hear right now. I'd even rank it ahead of "I'm pregnant" and "Your herpes seemed to have evolved into some sort of super herpes." The Cardinals winning last night was a bigger downer than Daniel Bryan losing in 18 seconds, but....
It's a new season. A new day. Yesterday doesn't matter. Last season is nothing, but a page in the history books because the only thing that matters now is now because we can't change the past. Marty and Doc can't go back in time and make Shaun Marcum go on the DL before game 6. The only thing we can do in this life is move on from our past mistakes and do the very best we can in our present and future. That's why I stopped drinking vodka-Red Bulls. Yesterday is gone, the future is now and guess what? The Brewers are going to be pretty freakin' awesome this year. Our future is looking bright. So bright I gotta wear shades.
(I'm sorry. I had WWE Tickets to Wrestlemania and took a picture with the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and General Manager of Raw and Smackdown. I had to show you. Deal with it.)
The question that you may be asking yourself (or at least the one I want you to ask yourself for the purposes of my writing) is: Sure, they're going to be good this season, but how good? Better than last year?
I say yes. I say we are going to be so good that people are going to be fainting in the stands. I say we are going to kick so much ass that Bud Selig is going to have to quit his job because of all the favoritism accusations. I say that the Brewers are going to be so good this season that Brewers bloggers are going to be getting laid just for being Brewers bloggers. (Somewhere JP Breen and Jack Moore just high fived.) I say we are going to the ___ ____ World Series! And this is how we'll do it.
Oh my god we lost Prince what are we are going to do? We are so screwed! is what you might say if you didn't pay much attention to how baseball works. For the uninitiated I will quickly explain how baseball works.
The goal of baseball is to win games. You do this by scoring more runs than you give up. For a team to score a lot of runs they don't need to have superstars. Superstars help, sure, but the way that a team scores a lot of runs is to add up all the runs that the players on the field score. It doesn't matter what Prince Fielder does or did, it matters what a lineup with Prince Fielder in it did. The total of one through nine, everyday, that's all that matters and one through nine in 2012 will be a lot better than one through nine in 2011. Without Prince Fielder.
We've been through this before, but let's do it one more time.
C - Jon Lucroy: Getting better everyday.
1B - Mat Gamel: He's not Prince, but people smarter than me are predicting a Lyle Overbay-esque season. 15+ HRs, 35+ doubles, .800+ OPS. I will take that all day.
2B - Rickie Weeks: If healthy Rickie Weeks is the man. Last season Rickie Weeks missed 44 games and still hit 20 homeruns. If we can get 140-150 games out of him (a big if, but not impossible) then we are instantly better at second base than we were last year. Maybe even the best in the National League.
3B - Aramis Ramirez: Much, much better than Casey McGehee last season. Better than good-Casey from 2010 too.
SS - Alex Gonzalez: Better than Yuni, but much like Yuni his greatest strength at the plate is hitting homeruns and Miller Park is always good to people who hit home runs.
RF - Corey Hart: 130+ OPS two seasons in a row. I smell a third.
CF - Nyjer Morgan: Destroys righties.
CF -Norichika Aoki: Destroys lefties.
CF - Carlos Gomez: Is fast, owns a baseball bat.
LF - Ryan Braun: He's the defending MVP, he's healthy and he isn't missing 50 games due to a PED suspension. He's also "mad" which probably doesn't mean anything since he is always focused, but it makes a good story.
Yeah, I think this lineup is going to be just fine without Prince.
The story that I seemingly can't stop reading this preseason is the one about how Zack Greinke doesn't have a rib injury and that Zack Greinke is going to win the Cy Young. As much as I ragged on Zack Greinke last season (mostly because of his inability to pitch into the sixth or seventh inning) I can definitely see this being a thing that happens. This is what we wanted when he came here, this is what we felt he was capable of and hopefully it's something that he sets out to make happen. At the end of the day Zack Greinke is the only one who can make this happen. He has the talent, he has the stuff, all he needs is the focus. I want him to do it, but more than that I believe he can do it.
If he can't? Well, he can just repeat last season and we'll still have the rest of the guys. Yovani Gallardo is awesome. Shaun Marcum, despite those playoff games that we're not going to talk about anymore, was arguably the Brewers most reliable pitcher last season; Randy Wolf can hopefully remain ageless and Chris Narveson should continue to be solid. Worst case (non-injury) scenario? We have five solid pitchers who would be a #3 starter on just about any team in the majors. Best case? Zack Greinke wins the Cy Young and Yovani Gallardo starts the All-Star Game. I can handle that.
As for the bullpen, it should be one of the best in the majors due to Axford and K-Rod alone. Anyone else performing above expectations is just icing on the cake and Manny Parra being anything like he was that one time against the Cardinals would be the naked supermodel on the cake. I only have a few worries about the 2012 Brewers and the bullpen is not one of them.
Surprisingly strong. Aoki could be a better hitter than anyone on the bench last season, Kottaras will continue to be a sex machine and great hitting backup catcher, Ishikawa/Conrad should provide a little more pop than Kotsay did last year (added bonus: Conrad or Ishikawa will never be asked to play center in a playoff game) and Izturis should do well as long as he never has to bat.
So, remember last year when Roenicke didn't rest anyone for the last week of the season because he wanted that home field advantage in round one? Then the Cardinals beat the Phillies (the team Roenicke didn't want to play) and a tired Brewers team lost to the Cardinals in six games? Oh, and how he stubbornly started Shaun Marcum in game six despite the fact that Marcum looked clearly worn out and the Brewers absolutely needed to win. Oh, and also how he saved his best pitchers in the bullpen until after the game was out of hand in that same game 6. Yeah, I hope he doesn't do that again. I hope he learned his ___ _____ ____________ lesson from that.
I want to try and sound objective about the 2012 Brewers, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I like everything about them this year. Barring injury I don't know how they won't end up being better than they were last year and I would be truly shocked to see them not at least win one of the two Wild Card spots. Really I'll be surprised if we don't raise another NL Central flag this season. Much like the 2001 Mariners who lost Alex Rodriguez, I see the Brewers being a lot better without our superstar.
Beyond that I think if they enter the playoffs with a lineup like the one they will trot out on Opening Day then they have a lot better chance at succeeding in the playoffs than they did last year because it is a lot more balanced. Will they be able to score more runs than their opponents? It's hard to say, but the potential to shut everyone down is there.

Our three unique formulas
K pour Karité's hair colours are the results of 5 years of research in our laboratory. Research started when we established our partnership with Burkina Faso where we discovered all tinctorial plants had to offer.
Today, K pour Karité offers you a range of three hair colours :
- 100% natural CREAM hair colour, Certified Organic
- 100% natural POWDER hair colour, Certified Organic
- Natural « Plants & Shea Butter » hair colour
8 SHADES : Light blond / Medium blond / Dark blond / Light brown / Medium brown / Dark brown / Black-brown / Red, to apply on non-chemically treated hair.
What are the advantages ?
- Natural formulas, perfectly in line with the current « nude » trend.
- No harsh transformation (the colour matches your natural basis) and there is no « root ». The colour fades with shampoo and leaves the hair fiber intact for a very natural and subtle result.
- A natural hair colour, intense and radiant, that matches your natural hair.
- Possibility to go 2 to 4 shades darker for gorgeous highlights.
- Grey hair is covered and blends in.
- Hair colour and haircare : the pigments used in our hair colour do not alter the hair fibre they coat the hair to colour it : hair becomes thicker and stays healthy ! It stays strong and shiny. To sum it up, our 100% natural hair colour is to hair what varnish is to wood : it provides a subtle colouring while respecting the hair's natural shades. Chemical-based hair colours could be compared to wood paint, covering the hair entirely and giving it a uniform and bland colour.
In 2011, K pour Karité launched the first ever ECOCERT-certified hair colour, 100% natural and henna-free. Our patented formula has a clay cream base. It was mainly designed for women who want to dye their hair but care about their health (pregnant or breastfeeding women, women with allergies or undergoing chemotherapy or young women who haven't dyed their hair yet) and who have very few grey hair to cover (up to 10%).
In 2012, K pour Karité went even further to elaborate a « powder » version of our ECOCERT-certified hair colour, 100% natural and henna-free. The addition of alum powder makes it suitable for the same women as the « cream » version but also offers better grey hair coverage (up to 50%).
This is a true world first ! Until now, there was no hair colour formulated exclusively with tinctorial plants, without henna and completely chemical-free.
At the end of 2012, K pour Karités innovates once more with our brand new « PLANTES & SHEA BUTTER » natural hair colour. Formulated with colouring agents and plants, there is no « root » effect and offers very good grey hair coverage. Very easy to use, it offers a short leave-on time (30min) and lasts longer (10 to 15 shampoos).
Guaranteed ammonia-free, resorcinol-free and peroxide-free, these ingredients are not replaced by others that would not smell but would be just as chemically aggressive. With a base of shea butter and carefully-selected plants (aloe vera, sage,...), this hair colour doesn't have the drawbacks of a 100% vegetal hair colour (longer leave-on time, lasts less) while still preserving your hair.

RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif. (AP) - Sacramento County sheriff's deputies have arrested the 19-year-old brother of a man whose wife and two young children were found brutally slain inside their suburban Sacramento home.
The department's spokesman, Sgt. Jason Ramos, said "something bad was brewing for some time" between the suspect and his extended family.
The man, Grigoriy Bukhantsov, was taken into custody early Wednesday morning and was being booked at Sacramento County Jail.
Ramos said he was the only suspect in the Tuesday killing of the woman, her 2-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter.
He described the manner of the attack as "stabbing, slashing" but declined to go into further detail pending a coroner's inquiry.
The identities of the victims were not immediately released.

In this feature documentary, filmmaker Paul Cowan offers an innovative, moving account of the Westray coal mine disaster that killed 26 men in Nova Scotia on May 9, 1992. The film focuses on the lives of three widows and three miners lucky enough not to be underground that day when the methane and coal dust ignited. But their lives were torn apart by the events.
Meet some of the working men, who felt they had no option but to stay on at Westray. And wives, who heard the rumours, saw their men sometimes bloodied from accidents and stood by them, hoping it would all turn out all right. This is a film about working people everywhere whose lives are often entrusted to companies that violate the most fundamental rules of safety and decency in the name of profit.

Sennheiser Conference System Easily Translates Between English and Inuktitut
KUGAARUK, NUNAVUT – DECEMBER 2010: Home to approximately eight-hundred native Inuit and a handful of southerners, the municipality of Kugaaruk brushes up against the Arctic Ocean, in the far northern Nunavut Territory of Canada. It is the location of Canada's coldest recorded wind chill (-78 degrees Celsius) and a place where the day is seldom punctuated by a rising or setting sun. It is also the location of very favorable seal hunting and a place where polar bear sightings are commonplace. In their meetings every two weeks, Kugaaruk council members rely on a conference system so that Christopher Amautinuar can translate between English and Inuktitut. Kugaaruk recently replaced an aged and problematic conference system with a new Sennheiser conference system that delivers spoken word with perfect clarity and intelligibility. more

American Academy of Pediatrics says drug has potential to harm children
Check your hand-washing technique against this advice from experts:
Wash in warm or hot running water. Hot water is much more effective than cold at dissolving materials, such as oils, on your skin's surface. But simply running water over your hands is not enough.
Use soap. Soap works to break up and dissolve the substances -- primarily mucus, fecal material and food residue -- that likely contain disease-causing germs. Although your hands harbor millions of bacteria, the dangerous ones arrive in these materials.
Rub your lathered hands together for about 15 seconds. The rubbing action helps to further loosen any material still adhering to the skin.

It is the year of 3013, 1,000 years later from 2013. During the middle of 2013, a nuke hit earth. Scientists "think" it was planned and staged, then when a scientist touched it, he got infected. Most of the humans got infected and died, but some remain alive. This place is recked and burned by the infection and the nuke.

GOP Holds Early Turnout Edge, But Little Enthusiasm for Romney
Republicans are more engaged than Democrats in contrast to 2008 when it comes to focusing on this year's presidential campaign and saying it really matters who wins. But Democrats are more enthusiastic about Barack Obama than Republicans are about Mitt Romney.
Debt and Deficit: A Public Opinion Dilemma
Pew Research Center President Andrew Kohut writes that there has never been an issue such as the deficit on which there has been such a consensus among the public about its importance — and such a lack of agreement about acceptable solutions.
Partisan Polarization Surges in Bush, Obama Years
Americans values and basic beliefs are more polarized along partisan lines than at any point in the past 25 years. Party has now become the single largest fissure in American society, with the values gap between Republicans and Democrats greater than gender, age, race or class divides.
Auto Bailout Now Backed, Stimulus Divisive
Public support for government loans to major U.S. automakers are viewed more positively today than in the fall of 2009, but there has been less change in opinions about other major economic policies such as the federal loans to banks and financial institutions during the 2008 financial crisis and President Obama's economic stimulus plan.
Public Priorities: Deficit Rising, Terrorism Slipping
As the State of the Union approaches, the economy continues to be the public's top priority. Fully 86% say that strengthening the economy should be a top priority for the president and Congress this year, and 82% rate improving the job situation as a top priority.
Obama Job Approval Edges Up, GOP Contest Remains Fluid
President Barack Obama's job rating has improved modestly over the past month, although few Americans approve of the way he is handling the economy. In addition, a majority of Americans continue to hold a favorable personal opinion of Obama. This is not the case for his main GOP rivals, whom he mostly bests in test election measures.
Obama Draws More Confidence than GOP Leaders on Deficit
As the nation prepares for another round of deficit reduction debates, the public's confidence in congressional leaders, particularly Republican leaders in Congress, has plummeted.
Obama Draws More Confidence than GOP Leaders on Deficit
While public confidence in President Obama on the budget deficit issue remains little changed since last December, confidence in congressional leaders, particularly Republican leaders in Congress, has plummeted.
Jobs vs. Deficit — Where the Public Stands
When President Obama goes before a joint session of Congress on Thursday to lay out a plan for spurring jobs creation, one of the political and policy dynamics at work will be the tension that animated the debate in Washington all this year: the push to reduce federal spending and the government's deficit competing against whether some kind of stimulus is needed to deal with a faltering recovery and the stubbornly-high unemployment rate.
Public Sees Budget Negotiations as "Ridiculous", "Disgusting", "Stupid"
From liberal Democrats to Tea Party Republicans, there is broad public consensus that the budget negotiations of recent weeks can be summed up in words such as ridiculous, disgusting, stupid, and frustrating. Nationwide, 72% describe the recent negotiations in negative terms.

April 17, 2012
In recent months, both the U.S. and U.K. governments have made strides toward shifting their operations into the cloud. Just as it does for large enterprises in the private sector, cloud computing has the potential to offer significant benefits to governments. However, as several reports have detailed, both institutions face obstacles that make complete adoption a slow process.
Perhaps the most significant recent development in this area is the news that the U.K. government will launch G-Cloud at the end of April or beginning of May of this year. The G-Cloud Programme is intended to introduce cloud-based information and communication technology (ICT) into government departments, as well as offering these resources to local authorities and eventually the public sector. Numerous government agencies play a part in G-Cloud, including the Ministry of Justice and Home Office.
One of the key features of the G-Cloud is its CloudStore. There, visitors will be able to search through more than 1,700 varieties of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and others.
Alan Priestly, writing for ZD Net UK, argues that G-Cloud represents an industry-leading IT initiative, and predicts that many other enterprises will follow the project's progress if it proves successful. He goes so far as to suggest that it could potentially represent a "landmark moment in the evolution of cloud computing."
There are, however, already signs of controversy. Most notably, G-Cloud's former director, Chris Chant, recently resigned his post, and has since issued several statements critical of the government's management of the project. CRN UK reports that, among other charges, he highlighted the government's poor record of working with smaller IT suppliers.
While there is no American counterpart to G-Cloud, there has been increasing movement toward adopting cloud-based services in the U.S. federal government. Government Computer News' Paul McCloskey notes that the past 12 months have seen various agencies transition their IT infrastructures to the cloud.
While this move has the potential to improve government efficiency and save money, Richard Falkenrath, speaking to GovInfoSecurity, recently pointed out that government policies limiting agencies to using domestic servers may prove counterproductive, driving up the costs of cloud computing.
However, this policy is not without reason. Expanding government infrastructure into the cloud carries significant security risks, and these risks increase if the servers used are located outside the country. Even domestic cloud usage carries risk, requiring cautious adoption of the cloud for sensitive government data.

Actually the inspector is wrong. Vinegar undiluted at 5%, heated to 55 degrees Celcius, and left on a surface for one minute is a very effective sanitizer. In fact, it is on par with two other sanitizing standards - peroxide and bleach solution. It is probably cheaper than peroxide and, like peroxide, it is has none of the health and environmental hazards posed by bleach. No doubt Osborne faces challenges as an independent member of the House - particularly one wherein the Speaker shares his governing party's complete lack of respect for the opposition. Our Speaker is not of the mindset of one time B.C. Speaker Claude Richmond who said that one of his prime responsibilities was "to protect the minority from oppression by the majority." That said, Osborne has a unique opportunity to speak to public issues unconstrained by any particular party line. Given that we have a petty government house leader and ineffectual speaker, it might be difficult for his voice to heard inside the House. All the more reason then that the Telegram and all of the province's media should bend over backwards to accommodate Osborne outside the House. In fact it would be a nice change of pace to see someone other than Dunderdale stroll up to the microphone in the lobby of the Confederation building every day.

Every 30 sitting days, under Danny Williams or Kathy Dunderdale, would equal only once per year. Mind you, that's still more than Mr. Osbourne would be permitted to speak than most Tory backbenchers, so maybe it's an improvement.

Following yesterday's revelation that Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami is working on a new survival horror title codenamed 'Zwei', Bethesda has officially confirmed the game.
According to Mikami, the game will be "a true survival horror" in which the player "confronts and overcomes fear".
"I've found my focus and once again I'm striving for pure survival horror," he said. "I am being very hands-on in the development of this game to ensure that the quality is there. Rest assured."
The game will be developed at Tango Gameworks, Mikami's post-Platinum Games studio, which was snapped up by Bethesda's parent company ZeniMax Media in 2010.
Mikami has said this project will be his last as game director, so we've got our fingers crossed for something special.

I would appreciate some ideas about how I can avoid powdery mildew this winter. Last year a few of my plants got PM and I know fur sure it was because of the larger fluctuation of temperatures between day and night. I keep my plants in the breakfast nook/area because this is where we have lots of windows which makes this area the brightest in the house. The rest of the house really does not have enough light for AV-s neither do we have appropriate space anywhere else to place my flower stands. Unfortunately, these windows in the breakfast area date back to the 80's so they are somewhat drafty. They have not been changed to thermopane so we have relatively poor insulation there and it can get pretty cold in the winter. We DO plan on changing the windows to the entire house but we are currently still renting so we can't do anything about it right now. We will have another winter where it gets chilly in the breakfast area, especially at night. One of my stands (where I grow under artificial lights) sits against one window where I have placed a sheer curtain. This can help a little by keeping the cold/draft away but not much. The other stand is a corner stand, more decorative/pretty and it sits right between two windows, in the corner of the room (I had a picture under the "what's in bloom" thread). This is where I place plants that are blooming - just for the "pretty" effect. When they are done blooming I take the plants back to the light stand - because the decorative one doesn't have lights. There is also no sheer curtain there. I understood that it might help if I got a small fan to circulate the air. I am still, however, concerned with the fluctuation of temps we will have in this breakfast area during the winter - and I have no other place to keep the AV-s. Moreover, I just recently wicked my plants. On the one hand, this is good for the winter because humidity will go down so you want to have water evaporating around the plants. On the other hand, if it gets chilly inside and you have temp fluctuations, all that water sitting around from the wicking might make things even worse. Any advice would be welcome! |

Begonia, I had PM last winter and placed saucers with sulfur around my plants. Worked like a charm. I also tried spraying Lysol, which didn't. You can also try running your lights at night to bring up the temps. a bit. I run mine at night in the winter, to bring up the night temps., and the summer, to lower the daytime temps. Fluorescents don't give off much heat but it helps a little. You can also use Physan 20. Here's a link: Linda |

How exactly do I use the physan, Linda? Should I spray the plants with it, as preventative care ? |
- Posted by whitelacey 6 (My Page) on Sat, Oct 12, 13 at 1:34
Begonia, You can use it as a preventative and/or a cure. Read the sixth point on the attached site. It has the correct proportions for av's. I would try the sulfur first. I was amazed at how effective it was. Linda |
- Posted by Begonia2005 7 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 17, 13 at 20:29
Linda, Just one more question: if I go with sulfur, where should I buy it from? Also, is it toxic? |
i I saw horticultural sulphur powder sold in nurseries. And there is plenty on ebay. Even vaporisers for it are sold. M best guess is too use is a light dusting - and make sure that during application you use something to cover eyes and nose and mouth - something you can purchase in Home Depot. I would be at least in my glasses and cover my nose and mouth with a cloth, hands - with latex gloves. I think you can use some kind of a soft brush - to shake above the plant. Or there are special dusters if you find one. Irina |
- Posted by Begonia2005 7 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 17, 13 at 22:36
I don't want anything toxic that would require all the ritual with the mask and washing clothes after, so maybe I'll go with the physan. Hopefully it is completely harmless but then again, nothing sounding chemical-ish seems to be completely so. :( |
- Posted by whitelacey 6 (My Page) on Fri, Oct 18, 13 at 3:20
Begonia, I put a small amount in a plant saucer and set in among my plants. I have about three to a 4'' bench. It is a miracle solution! When I first read about this I thought, "Yeah, right. Nothing can be that easy." I was pleasantly surprised. I've even gotten it wet when watering. The water evaporated leaving the sulfur behind. I still had no problems so I am assuming the sulfur wasn't affected. It's worth a shot. Linda |
I would say the mask is recommended when you are dealing with perlite as well - the best if you buy a bag -is to rinse it on a sieve - outside with the hose - and only use it without fine dust. Plus - definitely cover your mouth and nose while transfering to the sieve. Is perlite poisonous - no - do we need a fine volcanic glass powder in our lungs - absolutely not. |

Relaxing. Pampering. Taking time out for you. Why do we so infrequently do it?
Taking care of yourself, only makes logical sense.
Pampering gives us a warm and fuzzy feeling which does wonders to relieve unwanted stress in our lives. It also allows us the feeling of being coddled and catered to. And who doesn't love that?
Probably more than anything else though, allowing yourself, and taking the time out to be pampered is saying, "I'm Worth It". And nothing is better for you than a jolt of self-esteem.
Okay, you're doing it! You made the date and that date is all about you.
Now where do you go? You're looking for the best!
Downtown Spa & Relaxation Centre, the perfect choice for luxury spoiling.
Check out their day at the spa packages with choices for everyone!

The unisex spa also allows your day to be a romantic tryst. If you choose this route – try the Sweetheart Escape. A 60 minute massage, spa pedicure and manicure for her and sports pedicure and paraffin hand dip for him and rounded out with Champagne Delight.
Enjoy some of their Body Rituals such as Salt Glow and Decadent Chocolate Wrap.
Waxing, ear candling and medical aesthetics such as Botox and fillers are all part of the wonderful world of Downtown Spa and Relaxation Centre.
Reward your teenager for her good grades, thank your friend for being a great friend and purchase them a gift card.
Don't put it off any longer. Make an appointment today to spoil yourself.

Eli Manning will be on Saturday Night Live this week, following in his brother's footsteps, and possibly wearing a dress at the request of Kristen Wiig. A series of promos surfaced this morning on NBC's website, and they feature Manning's musical debut, and a painful incompletion to Kenan Thompson.
Hopefully he can whip those no good United Way kids into shape.
