My Dog Growls and Protects Toys One of the most common concerns I hear expressed is that a dog growls and becomes possessive of his toys. When this happened at my house, my daughter looked for effective solutions because she wanted her dog to have toys without concerns that other family canines would become overbearing. What we learned was pretty simple, and it worked for us. First, we removed the most coveted toys. Then we put out several more toys than dogs. Now our dogs play harmoniously with toys when they are together. Sometimes I even see them sharing a toy in a game of tug or chewing on opposite ends of the same toy. There are always more toys than dogs. At Pets In Need, we have seen loving dogs become very possessive of pig ears and raw hides. We stopped allowing their use at the shelter and advise people not to use either product due to the protectiveness they may cause. In addition, there have been reports of serious digestive problems caused by these products. If you have a dog who growls when you try to take a toy, the growling could be a warning or it could just be the way some breeds communicate verbally. In either case, the dog is probably holding on tightly to the treasure you want to take. Offer her a tasty treat as a trade. Repeat this often until your dog gets used to getting a special treat when she gives up a treasure. Over time, she will start to automatically give up her possession and look to see what you have to offer. When she is dependable with the exchange, add a verbal signal such as "give." You can gradually exchange tasty food treats for hugs and praise. You don't need to worry about spoiling a dog with treats and praise, because they cannot be overdone. If you are concerned about calories, reduce the mealtime feedings or give your dog her total daily ration throughout the day as treats. Carrots seem to be popular with most dogs and can be added as low calorie treats. Hand-feeding your dog throughout the day and making her daily ration rewards for good behavior is a great way to keep your dog stimulated and interested in pleasing you. You'll probably enjoy being the dispenser of the treats as well as the good behavior your dog will display to earn her treats. After your dog starts to learn this reward system for good behavior or for repeating exercises you have taught her such as sit, down or roll over, don't be surprised if she starts to offer you behavior just to see which one will get you to supply a treat. A co-worker reported that her young dog rolled over four times in a row to please her and to show how well she had learned that new trick. Dogs love unconditionally and delight in pleasing their caregiver. Reward the behaviors you want repeated with generous praise and treats. Your best friend will repay you with love and loyalty. You'll both be winners. Founded in 1965, Pets In Need receives no federal, state or local government support. Published in the San Mateo County Times, May 18, 2002 |

I love the Flexsteel Chicago, but can't afford it in all leather. Any opinions (Duane?) on the leather/vinyl combo? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Duane is no longer posting on here unfortunately. I hope that changes at some point. In answer to your question, it is what it is, it is ok if you can't afford better. Flexsteel in general is a good product though. |
I've been hesitant to order the leather/vinyl combos, though they certainly are less expensive. If done right, they should be fine in terms of looks and durability, though vinyl will never have the 'hand' or feel of leather. Most car interiors, even on high line cars like Porsche and BMW are leather seating surfaces and the backs / sides are vinyl and they do a pretty good job at it. I think you're be OK on it, but I have no hands-on experience with it in the Flexsteel line. Duane |

I spent some time in TN back in the day in Millington Naval Station doing some training for the USMC.
Where is this river? It sounds like it would probably be on the East side of the state getting close to the Grandfather Mtns...

Hunakai Studio of Fine Art combines the study of past masters with plenty of hands-on art-making experience for students of all ages. Instructors teach students to sculpt in clay, paint and draw, or generate digital images with 3D design programs and tablets. They lead studies into the iconic images of Renaissance painters, the drawings of famed cartoonists, and the murals of prolific graffiti artists. They do this all while keeping class sizes small, with no more than eight students per instructor. This lets the teachers customize lessons to students' needs, helping pupils progress at their own pace instead of racing to keep up with that overachiever Suzy Collins.
With its lofty ceilings, slate floors, natural wood beams, and floor-to-ceiling windows that give sunlight some rare exposure to high culture, the building that houses the Fuller Craft Museum is itself a work of art. The 21,000-square-foot structure is surrounded by a 22-acre campus, which is itself surrounded by some 700 acres of woodland. It's a place to easily lose an afternoon in exploration and contemplation.
Across this wide-open space, creativity flows naturally. Exhibitions, galleries, and workshops showcase the mesmerizing craftsmanship of woodworking, sculpture, bookmaking, and many other forms, exploring the materials, techniques, and expression poured into each piece. Interactive attractions draw visitors deeper into the creative process. Letterboxing, for instance, challenges them to search the property for hidden treasures by following clues instead of just lazily asking a neighborhood pirate.
With a dedication to each individual and family, the seasoned instructors at The Dance Factory teach students of any age a variety of dance styles, ranging from ballet and acrobatics to jazz and hip-hop. Preschool- and kindergarten-age classes are also available for budding dancers. Kids can express themselves through free-form choreography in various dance styles, or take a more structured approach through the French traditions taught in ballet sessions. Hip-hop and modern/contemporary classes equip older children and adults with the steps to commandeer any dance floor or spontaneous public musical number, and students looking for more heart-pumping excitement can also bust moves in dance-inspired Zumba fitness classes. Classes meet once a week Monday?Saturday.
Luke Adams's childhood talent for drawing spurred him toward an education in glasswork at the Massachusetts College of Art, where he honed his technique under artists from all over the country. Today, Luke molds his molten medium into colorful, one-of-a-kind starfish suncatchers, jewelry, and paperweights. Through jewelry-making and glassblowing classes, his studio spreads a passion for glass-oriented artistry, teaching students to shear and assemble artful shards, molding them into versatile, translucent building blocks similar to the kind used to by Gustave Eiffel to construct an ice-cube model of his infamous tower.
Located just outside Boston, Blue Hill lets aspiring pilots navigate both the busy airspace above the city and the more difficult flying conditions around the White Mountains. A full-scale flight simulator preps beginners before they can receive one-on-one lessons from an instructor in a two-seat Schweizer 300C helicopter, which accommodates both commercial or private flying tracks. The copter also ferries passengers above the city at dusk or carries riders home to the nest where flying machines roost at night.
It didn't take long for Robert Bennet Forbes to make a name for himself. He was made a captain by the age of 20, and he quickly amassed wealth and influence as a China Trade Merchant. And despite becoming one of the country's most prominent businessmen, Captain Forbes still found time to design ships, write, and build an estate that would make Scrooge McDuck molt with envy. Along with his brother John, the Captain commissioned a Greek Revival mansion to be built in 1883. The house was intended for their mother, but over the decades, it would become home to many members of the entrepreneurial family—who collected four generations worth of paintings, artifacts, and various artwork.
Perched atop Milton Hill, the mansion—now a National Historic Landmark called the Forbes House Museum—transports visitors back to key moments in American history. In one part of the house lies memorabilia focused on President Lincoln and the Civil War, collected by the Captain's granddaughter Mary Bowditch Forbes. Her passion for that time period was so strong, she even had a replica of Lincoln's birthplace built on the museum's grounds. Other rooms showcase the valuable Chinese exports collected by the Captain. Sitting atop a table of Cantonese marble and hand-carved rosewood is the crown jewel of this collection, the Election Bowl, a porcelain vessel adorned with two Forbes family crests and two depictions of Scottish castles. In addition to tours, the mansion also hosts various cultural events, including a monthly roundtable discussion on the Civil War.

The World Is Your Gym
Below is a short clip of Herschel Walker sharing his early involvement with bodyweight exercise.
Unfortunately, many will watch the clip and instantly shift the discussion towards genetics. That's not my reason for posting it however. I'm not here to suggest that pushups and sit-ups will propel you towards a successful NFL career.
I am posting the clip to once again highlight the potential of low-tech exercise routines. The average person can do quite well with little or no equipment. Herschel Walker isn't the first athlete who thrived with a minimalistic approach. Similar stories have been posted about other NFL stars such as Walter Payton, Ray Lewis, and Jerry Rice.
Does anyone honestly believe that the average adult cannot get in shape with basic activities such as running and calisthenics? Imagine if it was common to wake up and work through a series of pushups, pull-ups, dips, squats, burpees, lunges, and so on. Such an approach to exercise not only works well but can be performed anywhere without anything.
Unfortunately, the low-tech approach doesn't receive as much love from the fitness community. After all, if everyone exercised at home without equipment, much of the industry would suffer financially. Equipment manufacturers and gyms would rather have the masses depend on their services. And as I say this, I'm not knocking the entire industry. There are certainly quality products on the market that are potentially beneficial. It is worth noting however that such tools are rarely a necessity, particularly when discussing the Average Joe or Jane.
I found myself caught up in a perfect example of this idea on Sunday. I was at the beach with my kids. We were catching crabs underneath a dock. My son randomly looked up to the dock and asked if I could do pull-ups from it. I'm not sure what prompted the question, but I jumped up and started knocking off reps while my kids cheered me on.
My 4-year old daughter then made an innocent comment that the beach is a gym. The next thing I knew, my kids are running on the sand. An afternoon of crabbing and fishing suddenly shifted towards running up and down the beach. With nothing more than a dock and an open stretch of land, there was more than enough to perform a challenging, yet enjoyable workout.
I was only playing with my kids, but I could have easily had a full session of running, swimming, pull-ups, pushups, and more. A busy afternoon filled with such activities would be more than enough to keep the average person healthy and physically capable.
Training doesn't need to be complicated. Get up, get outside, move, and don't get lost in unnecessary complexity. Getting in shape is a simple process. You just need to get up and put in the work. Showing up (anywhere) is more than half the battle…
The person who is waiting for something to turn up might start with their shirt sleeves. – Garth Henrichs

Inspiring as usual, thanks Ross.
Juan Manuel August 28th, 2012 7:02 am
Couldn't agree with you more Ross. My staple workouts include: pushups, dips, pull-ups, squats, sprints, etc. When I want to go heavy I add a weighted backpack or I do pistols or one arm pushups. Can't manage one arm pullups…yet I do the workouts in my garage at home or even better, when the weather is nice I go to the park. Never gymless!!!!
cajie August 28th, 2012 8:02 am
Great article. I originally started with a Gym to get into shape, and I do think it helped me initially to get into the fitness mood. After 2 years of regular gym, I decided to give up the membership and rely on low-tech workouts. I haven't looked back since. Running, Burpees, Pull-ups, Kettle-bells, jump rope and cycling are all the workouts I need. There is enough variety to keep it interesting and keep the motivation level up.
Dirk August 28th, 2012 8:29 am
Totally agree with you on the no need for a gym as it is just a excuse for the most people to avoid moving their butt.
But there also useful equipment like the endless rope machine what is very interesting if you have no ability to put up a long rope somewhere. But this peace also offer some very nice trainings angles for full body conditioning. -
admin August 28th, 2012 8:32 am
Are you serious? $4000 for a piece of rope?
I'll pass. Buy a short strip of rope at a site like mcmaster instead and do rope pull-ups with almost anything.
Ryan August 28th, 2012 8:46 am
Recently I watched a documentary about Herschel Walker on either Netflix or ESPN..can't remember.What stands out for me in the whole docu was that he was a "fat kid" who liked comic books and was extremely shy.Kids picked on him and beat him up all the time.On his last day of middle school some kids beat him again.He couldn't take it anymore.He asked the local football coach what he could do.The coach said push-ups, sit-ups and run.He did it all summer.We are talking hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of daily sit-ups and push-ups.He chased trains like his favorite superhero to get faster.When he started school a few months later he was transformed from an overweight kid that looked at the ground when he walked to a high school football phenom.BTW he also said he thought about those kids making fun of him every time someone tried to tackle him.I think Herschel Walker's athletic story isn't about genetics but more about his desire to overcome obesity, shyness and poverty.
Joseph August 28th, 2012 10:43 am
Ross, I've watched many documentaries where Herschel walker spoked about his daily routine of 1000 pushups, 1000 pullups, 3500 situps, 1000 dips and sprinting. Do you think it's possible to achieve such a high volume of work or do you think some of it was made to impress fans?
ctkwingchun August 28th, 2012 11:28 am
Couldn't agree more and the most beautiful part of it is that we are teaching a new generation (our children) to look at the world differently.
Eric August 28th, 2012 2:20 pm
We are all familiar with Herschel's low-tech workout routine that he is said to follow to this day and at 50 years old he is in better shape than even so-called fit people half his age. Last I heard Herschel was competing in MMA and had won a couple of fights. I've heard or read stories of Herschel performing anywhere from 1,500-3000 pushups and 1,500-3000 situps daily. I'm sure those aren't the only exercises Herschel performed when he was younger and especially what he does today. Granted, I do believe for the most part Walker doesn't touch weights because you can build an awesome physique without ever touching barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, or machines. But I'm sure Walker just doesn't perform countless regular pushups and situps daily without ever doing something more advanced like single arm pushups, handstand pushups, pullups, advanced forms of core and abdominal work etc. Also a lot of times when an athlete's "weights" or number of calisthenics performed is written I would take it with a grain of salt, because often times these workout "weights" and "numbers" are often times exaggerated. I remember when Herschel put out an exercise book in the mid-eighties(forget the title) but I think it was written by Terry Todd, but anyhow Herschel was not only performing a variety of pushups and core work but also some basic weights and pullups, monkey bars, sprints, etc. Also read in an article in Sports Illustrated that Herschel performed his first bench press at the University of Georgia and benched 275lbs. Now let me tell you, 275lbs for a 220lb rock solid athlete of 18-19 years old isn't great by any means, but for someone who had never even touched a barbell, it's quite exceptional. Anyone who has ever lifted weights can tell you how awkward most movements feel when you first start lifting even when using light weights, so even for someone as fit as Herschel was, to bench press 275lbs the first time you ever touch a weight is fantastic.
Eric August 28th, 2012 2:26 pm
Kudos to Walter Payton for promoting the hellish hill training. Payton was one of the pioneers of hill training in the States, but me thinks the Eastern Bloc countries were on to hill training for decades.
Mike August 29th, 2012 6:32 am
You're such an inspiration Ross….people try to make things so complicated when it comes to training!
BrunoVBC August 29th, 2012 7:58 am
Hello Ross, I am Brazilian and I follow your blog constantly.
Great article, very inspiring. I have followed his trajectory in the fitness world and I confess that I am a big fan of yours.
I am really fan of the concept that you do not need much to have a healthy lifestyle. With few or even no equipment can keep the body fit and well balanced body.Thanks for the space given. Whenever possible I quote from his work on my blog.
A big hug and success always! -
James August 29th, 2012 1:24 pm
Great story regarding your family at the beach. Whenever I pick up my son up and start running and down the steps, he says "Daddy is strong!" … This comment goes to show that both our kids and loved ones, benefit from us being in shape.
BeachBody Coach August 29th, 2012 9:14 pm
you sure have a way of getting me to look at training and my program in a whole new way
Ryan H. August 30th, 2012 1:32 am
Great post! I'm actually starting a strictly bodyweight program on Monday, as a kind of experiment to see just how much I can achieve without using weights. Part of the reason for only using bodyweight is that I travel a lot for work, and with this plan I have NO EXCUSE not to get a workout done!
Inspiring stuff, keep it up mate!
Setanta College August 30th, 2012 3:36 am
Its refreshing to read an article that strips down training programs and doesn't push the standard. We did a blog piece on back to basics, kind of a strength training per-requisite. Check it out

Ross- Thank you for an awesome article. Like you always say, its not "what" you do, its how you "do" it. Working the basics intensely and regularly will shape up anyone. Please write more articles like this!
Thank you,

Jason August 30th, 2012 5:44 pm
Inspirational blog. Ross, what are your thoughts on the volume Herschel mentions in the video?
Eric August 31st, 2012 2:01 pm
Not only is that "volume" crazy but when would anyone actually have the time to do that many "reps" of any exercise. Even knocking out 100-rep sets in the pushups and situps would still take up a good size portion of the day. When I used to do 1,000 pushups every other day I would do sets of maybe 65-80, then rest briefly, and then complete the required number of reps to make a 100 rep set. While I was certainly no professional athlete and not even in the same world as a physical specimen like Herschel, I was nonetheless in decent shape. I could maybe do 3 relatively quick sets with a couple minutes rest periods before the lactic acid buildup in my chest, shoulders, and especially the smaller triceps would prevent me from any more immediate productive sets. I would often wait a couple of hours later and perform another 2-3 sets attempting to nail 100-reps after at least getting 65-80 reps before stopping briefly. While the actual time I put in actually doing pushups was relatively brief, the time it took to actually get to 1,000 reps, including the long times between performing the exercises, took up a good portion of the day. Who knows maybe someone like Herschel could perform his 1,000 reps all in one workout with no long rest periods between. I'm sure the pushup record is probably at least a 1,000 reps, and if not, well into the hundreds of reps.
Daniel Danielsson September 1st, 2012 12:41 pm
I have done weight training for many years. In the last couple of months, I have lost motivation and I am bored when at the gym. So I have purchased http://www.ultimatebodypress.com/ a pullup bar, so I can do Dips, body rows and static abs excercises. I also have 2x16kg KB, 2x20kg KB and 2x24kg KB. So I will use what I have now, and quit my gym membership. Hopefully it all works out!
Tyler Verma September 1st, 2012 2:02 pm
Herschel walker is full of shit, the dude is delusional, the truth is, everyone knows, there is a guy in every gym, who can do what ever the hell he wants, eat whatever the hell he wants and looks better than 95% of the people there. The fact he could run 100m in 10 seconds is proof of his genetics. He is blessed like all the other black NFL players, no point in denying that he is a freak athlete.
Eric September 2nd, 2012 8:57 am
Certainly we've all seen classic mesomorphs. Hell, my brother was 5'11″ and weighed a solid 215lbs in high school and never ever touched a weight and didn't engage in any workout program other than playing sports. But while Herschel surely is blessed with great genetics, I'm sure he also put in plenty of time working at it. The article I read on Herschel in Sports Illustrated in the early eighties, stated that Herschel's diet was very haphazard and that it included Snickers candy bars and cheeseburgers. But then again Herschel was 20-21 years old then, and we all can get away with poor eating habits at that age. The same article went on to tell how the young Walker also rarely slept more than three or four hours a night, this all could very well be bullsheet, but who knows. I've heard that the whole eight hours of sleep thingy is more pyschological than physical, but then again Herschel could be one to exaggerate the truth. Obviously good genetics or not you don't look like Walker at 50 years old unless you've put some work into it. And work ethic like physical attributes can be something we inherit also, people don't realize it but work ethic is a talent just as much as any physical skill.
Tyler Verma September 2nd, 2012 11:10 am
Work and gear, either Herschel is a direct descendant of the meanest, bad-est slave or is on gear, rarely will a 50 year old heavyweight, be so damn lean and jacked, maybe a 50 year old lightweight or middleweight.
Walter Payton, Ray Lewis, and Jerry Rice, Walker, isn't anyone surprised that they also happen to be black. Genetics much?
Eric September 2nd, 2012 11:30 am
Ray Lewis and Jerry Rice are great football players. Not great athletes. Wasn't too long ago that people thought that blacks dominated boxing. Well now look. It's white eastern Europeans who totally dominate all the heavier classes of boxing. Shot putter Brian Oldfield was white and at 6'5″ and 270-280lbs could sprint against football players like Lynn Swann and would beat world class female sprinters in short distances. Blacks dominated the heavier classes of boxing back in the sixties, seventies, eithties, and early nineties mostly because eastern Europeans weren't allowed or encouraged to participate professionally. Fighters like Quarry and Chuvalo had all the heart and toughness of the eastern Europeans without the size and skills, while Bugner and Cooney had all the size and skill without the heart. Ray Lewis is really not that big of a man and like Walter Payton aquired a lot of his size through weight training or exercises. Herschel is the only one you mentioned who would be considered as a cut above an average mesomorph and was blessed with EXCEPTIONAL genetics.
admin September 2nd, 2012 1:06 pm
Certain activities depend more on genetics (Ex. a 7 foot basketball player, sprinting ability like Usain Bolt). With that said, most people who whine about genetics are people that want a reason to justify their own failure. It's a tough pill to swallow to admit that someone else worked harder and longer, thus became more successful.
Jerry Rice was almost overlooked in the NFL draft. Most scouts didn't think he was fast enough. Ask anyone in the league to find someone who worked harder though… You won't find any. Ray Lewis was also overlooked by many teams as he was thought to be too small for the NFL. Ask his teammates if anyone works harder than him… No one in their right mind could have guessed that either would end up becoming one of the all time greats.
It is impossible to know what someone's natural ability may be when the individual has grown up in poverty and literally fought and scraped his way DAY AFTER DAY for YEARS to become successful. Even so called naturals like Roy Jones may not really be naturals. His father basically forced him to train for HOURS as a kid, day after day.
Imagine having a knowledgeable coach/trainer (his father) training him for YEARS throughout his entire childhood. Is it really a surprise that he became successful? I've been to Roy Sr.'s home. I've been in the driveway while he is training his fighters. He pushes them to their limit and then some. It is difficult to fathom how hard he pushed Roy Jr. (as he pushed his son harder than anyone). His success didn't happen by accident.
More often than not, you are good at what you grow up playing. Vasyl Lomachenko is a perfect example. He's the best boxer to come out of the Olympics. He's also someone who started as a kid and is pushed by his father. He trains for HOURS a day and has done so his entire life. Is it a surprise that after almost 20 years of training that he's at the top of his sport?
Some kids are pushed harder, want it more, and work harder. When this type of determination happens over several continuous years, the result is usually one that is successful.
admin September 2nd, 2012 1:10 pm
Here is a somewhat related article for those interested:
http://rosstraining.com/blog/2009/02/06/secrets-of-greatness/Enough of the genetic discussion though. That wasn't my reason for posting the video.
Eric September 2nd, 2012 3:14 pm
Thanks for the link. Great article and spot on. Desire, heart, work ethic, all can never be underestimated. Anyone remember the name Tony Mandarich? Mandarich was Green Bay's big pick in the 1989 draft and was going to be the best lineman of all time. Sports Illustrated did a feature full length article on Mandarich titled "The Incredible Bulk" before he had even played one single second of pro football. Mandarich was built like King Kong and just about as strong. He was 6'6″ and weighed 304lbs while running the 40 at an astonishing 4.65 seconds and bench pressing 225lbs for 39 reps. Mandarich it was said was one of the top 5 all time picks for lineman EVER. Well needless to say the "Incredible Bulk" turned out to be an incredible bust. Along with an unbelievably arrogant attitude, Mandarich was terribly undisciplined. Mandarich only lasted until the 1992 season before he was cut by Green Bay. Of course long ago there was a small painfully skinny quarterback playing sandlot ball in Pittsburgh who would be drafted by the then Baltimore Colts. That unathletic looking bag of bones would go on to become one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. You might have heard of him even though you never heard of Tony Mandarich, that man's name was Johnny Unitas.
Eric September 2nd, 2012 3:24 pm
Here is a clip of Tony Mandarich on Youtube. Youtube "Tony Mandarich on David Letterman 1989." Mandarich is even talking about fighting Tyson and wanting to play in a larger market than Green Bay. Mandarich had earlier called Green Bay "a village."
Seja_LiveLaughLove September 4th, 2012 4:21 pm
Thanks for this post, my entire life I've been living more of a calisthenics lifestyle vs. training in the gym. And it really is surprising how much have and doubt I have received from others by doing this. "The body has a max on how much resistance can be created, eventually bodyweight will fail you and you'll need extra resistance or you won't go anywhere." And while it is true that you continually need to be pushing towards the next level, the level of difficulty can be increased by manipulating the lever system. Also when you think of it when you compare gyms to the time period of the world, gyms are relatively new. And there were fit people before they existed.
Phil May 2nd, 2013 8:46 pm
You can do so much with just your body weight, as is proven by NFL athletes the like of Herschel Walker, Walter Payton and Jerry Rice, to name just a few.
Working with kids in the martial arts, we use body weight exercises exclusively, to build strength, endurance and speed. Pushups, squats, bicycles, mountain climbers, lunges and burpess are just a few of our favorites.

10 Weeks to Plan a Wedding – WEEK 6
Week 6 is over! Only one month until our wedding!
Michael was out of town for work again, but he is normally always home on the weekends so I get to see him really soon! We got a lot done this week again though. One thing I really wanted to talk about is combating any potential stress by keeping things fun! Hence the below picture. Just be silly with each other. There is honestly no need to be so caught up in wedding plans that you forget the real reason for everything you're doing. You're getting married to the love of your life – you should have fun in the process! It also helps to have an amazing coordinator at The Joseph Smith Memorial Building who tells me it is her job to worry about things, not mine. But remember that everything probably isn't going to be 100% perfectly how you imagined it, and that's ok. You can get things pretty darn close to perfect and get everything to feel the way you want, but remember to be flexible. I had a good friend tell me just today this wonderful advice, "The more flexible you are, the happier you'll be". I believe that to be true. Enjoy the ride and don't let the little things ruin anything for you. This is you and your sweetheart's big day – it's going to be amazing no matter what because YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED! That's what is most important. So get some sleep, have fun and be happy!
The below video recaps the highlights of our week with some fun pictures! Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube Channel and check out the bullet point list below the video. Enjoy!
- Dress fitting scheduled (December 14th – you need AT LEAST 3 weeks before your wedding to get fitted, get the alterations done and then try it on again to make sure everything fits just right)
- Final proofing of invitations
- Michael got sized for his ring (I'm working on getting him one now )
- Honeymoon booked! (We're going to the Bahamas on a cruise!!! So excited!!!)
- Booked wedding videographer – Nathan Pickett
- Gathered all addresses from friends and family (figure out which ones need the sealing (wedding ceremony) invite and wedding dinner invite)
- More Pinterest to figure out how I should do my makeup
- Figure out signage and quotes for the reception
- Figure out which pictures to print for the reception (my sister is printing a few for my bridal shower that I can use at the reception as well)
- Talked to our bishops for advice on preparing for marriage (I would definitely encourage anyone to talk to their ecclesiastical leader if you are of a religious affiliation, or family members on preparing for not only the wedding day, but marriage in general – it is very helpful because this is a HUGE step and change in both of your lives, it's good to hear what others have to say about it)

US politicians have spoken out against the National Rifle Association's iOS shooting app.
NRA: Practice Range released earlier this week on iTunes, and follows the organisation's claims that video games are to blame for the Sandy Hook shootings in December. The game tasks users with shooting a range of firearms in target practice scenarios, and allows users to purchase more powerful weaponry - including an AK47.
According to a report on CBS New York, Senator Charles Schumer called on Apple to amend the age rating of the app from 4+ to 17+. Apple met him halfway, changing the suggested age rating to 12+.
Meanwhile, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg fired off an angry response to the app, claiming it is "the height of hypocrisy."
"If you remember the head of the NRA's speech on television, he blamed violent children's games for causing things like the terrible tragedy in Connecticut," he said.
Following the Sandy Hook shootings last December, NRA spokesperson Wayne LaPierre unambiguously connected the tragedy with video games. "There exists in this country a callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells, and sows, violence against its own people. Through vicious, violent video games with names like Bulletstorm, Grand Theft Auto, Mortal Kombat and Splatterhouse."

that is awesome about your trip! It's going to be so different for you with the kids. My husband and I took our girl emily when she was 11 months old and then again at age two. she is 3 now. 11 months was easier than two because at two she wanted to walk everywhere herself she didn't always want to ride in the stroller. you just have to have patience and take your time. Where are ya'll staying? on or off property?
We had a ball both time we took her. We both learned quickly that we were somewhat on her schedule not ours. she is a strong willed child and you have to work with her to stay on schedule. I can't wait to take her again. we're not going this year. HOpefully next year when she turns 4.
Hope ya'll have a wonderful time. Oh by the way the baby changing rooms at the parks are awesome. the one at the magic kingdom is over by first aid and they have high chairs with a tv and big changing tables and it's nice and "air conditioned".
Take care and tell the mouse we said hey,
Welcome! I hope your trip will be fabulous! Enjoy the time visiting the Mouse.

I have never grown dahlias before. I am reading and learning alot on the forum here. I bought a bag of tubers from Wallmart, they were suposed to be 10 decorative dahlias, but when I opened the bag at home, they were only 6 bunches of tubers. Got upset, but I split some, like I read in the long thread here, and got myself 10 dahlias in the end. About the end of March I potted them, and each grew one stem. They are fairly thick , but with the leaves very sparse ( spaced out) large and curling downwards.... don't know why. Two weeks ago I planted them in the yard, and half an hour later the squires chewed up and broke one of them. I went and looked, and I could see inside the thick stem, it's hollow... Since then the broken end has become frilly like a comb, and no growth is happening. I thougt maybe I would get laterals develop, but nothing.... the plant doesn't look dead, it's still green, but it's not growing at all. What should I do with it? Will it recover? the stem is empty inside, btw the plants are way over one foot high.... ( tall, thick and with rare large leaves) Please advise
Follow-Up Postings:
"but with the leaves very sparse ( spaced out)". This is probably because the plant is reaching for the light, and indoor lights don't give it enough. I try to keep mine outdoors once started, ( being mindful of the temperature however ) "I could see inside the thick stem, it's hollow... ". The dahlia stems are indeed hollow. Sometimes if broken, water will get inside the hollow spot and cause rot. In that case I try to trim it back to just above a leaf node. "I thougt maybe I would get laterals develop, but nothing.... " Often it will develop laterals if pinched back, but it does take some time. "What should I do with it? Will it recover?" It may develop more sprouts. It have another eye that will develop. Give it some time. If it does, the time waiting was well spent. If it doesn't, that is the frustration that all gardeners face. Squirrels will indeed eat the dahlia leaves and buds. Here is a shot of a small grey chewing on a dahlia, just a few feet away from me. Cheeky little devil. |

Funny - squirrels here never touch any of my dahlias. But I also have a brigade of cats :) |
Thank you so much for answering! Well, it's not dying and it's not growing either. It sits there, exactly in the dead center of my fence. None of the tubers developed a second eye or stem. Each just one, thick and tall.... And squirrels, well, they are horrendous this year. Through the winter they ate at the burlap I covered my roses with, now in spring they dig and also deadhead my tulips, and now they destroy anything else I planted. ( including lots of tiny seedlings, as I ventured into Wintersowing.... I think they're just too hungry all the time, I pity them but I still hate what they do out of my backyard.... |

I share your frustration--I have never had trouble with squirrels like this year. Here is what I have done: Bot and sprayed "RO-PEL. I spray in the evening because I do not want the squirrels to see me doing the spraying. I have no idea why the contents work, but I admit the next morning there was not a squirrel in sight. However, as the day wore on they did return. It has certainly helped. Deer Off Receipe: from letters from readers in Backyard Magazine. This has proven very helpful with squirrels. Beat together 1 eqq, 1/2 cup of milk,and 1 Tablespoonful of cooking oil. Add 1 tablespoonful of dish soap. then add enough water to make a gallon of liquid. NEVER SPRAY "DRY" PLANTS. Spray plants every two weeks or after rain. DO NOT SPRAY ON EDIBLES. Store any left over material in a closed jar. |
Love that squirrely photo of yours Jroot. We feed our squirrels all year, so perhaps that keeps them out of the dahlia beds. I wonder if you would encourage re-emergence of the eye/s by gently digging up the broken dahlia and cutting off the broken hollow stem just above the tuber. I've done that and the plant went on to grow just fine. I just don't like the idea of a hollow stem hanging out there for anything to crawl or drip into. Let us know how it turns out. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Clarissa!
Facts about Clarissa
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Clarissa's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and not good with kids.
Clarrisa is like a kid in a Candy Store. She is so excited to do & see new things. She will enertain you for hours. She is appox. 7 months old. Clarissa may not do well with really young children
Other Pets at Forgotten Cats, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Clarissa, a Jenkintown Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Jenkintown, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Jenkintown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Jenkintown already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Jenkintown breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Jenkintown paves the way for another one to be saved.

I'm running a UT2004RPG server that has fraghouse invasion as one of the game modes (just recently added), and now everyone plays it cause the monsters there give up to 500 exp for one kill. This is really messing up my level-up system, does anyone have any suggestions? I already lowered the number of monsters and increased their health multiplier a lot, but I need a way to lower the actual exp they give.

Spokane County sees spike in number of homeless people
Spokane County saw a sharp increase in the number of unsheltered people in its annual point-in-time count of homeless people.
Volunteers and city officials around the region spent Jan. 23 surveying how many people were accessing services and whether they were staying in emergency shelter, staying in transitional housing or sleeping outdoors. The count is organized by the city of Spokane.
Participants found 1,149 people in 2014, up 12 percent from the 1,030 people they found last year. Volunteers counted 155 people who slept outdoors, up 158 percent from 2013 when they counted 60.
Sheila Morley, a program coordinator for the city of Spokane's Community, Housing and Human Services Department, said service providers were more successful reaching homeless people in this year's count.
Morley said additional funding helped make a difference. The city spent $110,000 over the last year on outreach and case management at two drop-in centers. Staff members spent more time working with homeless people, who she said were more likely to show up and be counted.
Service providers were also interested in getting a more accurate number, because the 2013 figures seemed too low.
"It doesn't give the scope of the number of people we serve every year," Morley said.
An encampment sweep in 2013, just before the point-in-time count, also may have contributed to the low number.
On Jan. 10, 2013, city workers notified people living under the Interstate 90 viaduct that they had 24 hours to clear their tents and find another place to stay. There were some 50 people living under the viaduct, near where the city had constructed a skate park, tennis courts and a parking lot.
People had slept under the viaduct for years, but the population had grown so that not everyone was covered by the structure.
The Washington State Department of Commerce collects point-in-time data from all the counties. It is a requirement of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness released its numbers immediately after its one-night count in January. Almost 1,000 volunteers do a head count outdoors early in the morning.
Seattle volunteers found 3,123 in January, a 14 percent increase from 2013.

Although it has been de rigueur in recent weeks to question ConDem commitment to the form and spirit of devolved services, expectations are that criticism from Labour in Wales about government plans to scrap the NHS Direct helpline in England will be unusually muted.
Assembly chiefs are known to be deeply unsatisfied with their own call centre service which has consistently proved to be an expensive and irrelevant flop.
Despite several re-launches and marketing ploys, A&E departments throughout Welsh hospitals have yet to record any sort of decline in non-emergency arrivals. This is attributed in part to anecdotal reports of patients arriving at emergency rooms with minor ailments after being told by NHS Direct staff that it is the quickest way to receive treatment.
The view among officials is that ministers in Cardiff Bay will quietly close down the service before the end of the year and replace it with a national version of the 101 non-emergency number currently being piloted in Cardiff.

Subaru may have added some extra standard features to the 2010 Tribeca, but the price tag hasn't grown accordingly.
In fact, the base 2010 Tribeca 3.6R Premium, which now comes standard with seven-passenger seating, stickers for $31,190 -- $500 less than a similar 2009 model. Premium models come standard with a 265-hp, 3.6-liter flat-six engine, five-speed automatic, and all-wheel drive. Features like fog lamps, 18-inch wheels, and heated front seats are also part of a long list of standard equipment.
The Tribeca 3.6R Limited is the next step up, and includes a 10-speaker Harmon/Kardon audio system, XM satellite radio, Bluetooth hands-free connectivity, and leather seating. Pricing begins at $33,190 ($100 less than a comparable 2009 model), although opting for a power moonroof, navigation system, and a rear-seat video system remain can add up to $5500.
The new 2010 3.6R Touring is now the top-end Tribeca, and adds features like high-intensity discharge headlamps, a power moonroof, argent roofrails and skid plates, and a rear-view camera. Pricing begins at $35,785, although navigation and the rear-seat entertainment system remain optional equipment.

[1005] Immunohistochemical (IHC) Expression of Ulex Europaeus Agglutinin-1 (UEA-1) in the Spectrum of Adult Renal Epithelial Neoplasms – A Study of 165 Cases
M Vankalakunti, DE Westfall, RS Parakh, R Gupta, RB Shah, M Amin, AM Gown, LC Goldstein, MB Amin. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA; University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI; William Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak, MI; PhenoPath Laboratories, Seattle, WA
Background: UEA-1, a marker selectively expressed by principal cells of the collecting duct in the normal kidney, is regarded as an important diagnostic adjunct for collecting duct carcinoma (CDC), a rare and aggressive subtype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The specificity of this marker for CDC has not been evaluated in the context of the wide spectrum of RCC described in the recent WHO (2004) classification and RCC subtypes that have been described subsequently.
Design: Tissue microarray (TMA) and conventional paraffin block sections from 165 renal tumors, including clear cell RCC (21;12), papillary RCC (23;10), chromophobe RCC (19;10), oncocytoma (20;10), hybrid oncocytic tumor (7;0), CDC (0;5), renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) (0;2), sarcomatoid RCC, NOS (0;5), mucinous tubular spindle cell carcinoma (0;3), translocation associated RCC (2;2), acquired cystic disease associated RCC (0;5), clear-cell papillary RCC (0;2) and urothelial carcinoma of renal pelvis (UCa) (0;8) were immunostained for UEA-1 (1:250; Vector Laboratories).
Results: UEA-1 showed strong membranous and cytoplasmic reactivity in CDC (5/5, 100%); RMC (3/3, 100%); UCa (7/8, 87.5%); chromophobe RCC (24/29, 83%); oncocytoma (4/30, 13%); hybrid oncocytic tumor (2/7, 28.5%); mucinous tubular spindle cell carcinoma (1/3, 33%); acquired cystic associated RCC (1/5, 20%); and papillary RCC (2/33, 6%). UEA-1 was diffusely positive in CDC, RMC and UCa; it showed patchy positivity in other tumors expressing the antibody. Differences in IHC staining pattern did not appear to correlate with Fuhrman nuclear grade or type of specimen analyzed (TMA vs paraffin block). Clear cell RCC, clear-cell papillary RCC and sarcomatoid RCC, NOS did not express UEA-1. In the normal kidney, UEA-1 selectively stained the collecting duct epithelium. Normal blood vessels served as positive internal controls in all cases.
Conclusions: 1) UEA-1 IHC in adult renal epithelial neoplasia is not specific for CDC, as it is expressed by other renal tumors histogenetically related to the distal nephron; 2) UEA-1 IHC may have a role as a marker within a panel to distinguish chromophobe RCC from oncocytoma; 3) strong positivity of UEA-1 in CDC and RMC suggests close interrelationship between these aggressive and rare subtypes of RCC.

Jan 5th 2008 8:06PM In my experience a lot of it has to do with power plays. Older aged players are more willing to express opinions and call out someones bullshit. But younger players want to keep their power so they call it whining or being immature.
I tend to be a loud mouth so when there is problems with guild structure or how the leaders are using the guild to there advantage with out thinking of all the members I speak up. Then a lot of members whisper me and agree and give suggestions. Then the "mature" leaders get unhappy and the quiet younger people would rather maintain the status quo and not risk being kicked out of a guild then express there opinions.
In short some younger players allow other younger players to treat them like shit just to belong to something, even if there "friends" treat them like crap. Older people are willing to all the bullies on there bullshit and then are considered juvenile or whiners.

Obama Picks Special Envoy to World Muslim Group (OIC)
February 18, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Washington (CNN) – President Barack Obama appointed a special envoy Saturday to the Organization of the Islamic Conference, the 57-nation organization that calls itself the "collective voice of the Muslim world."
He is Rashad Hussein, an Indian-American Muslim who has been a deputy associate White House counsel, described by Obama as "an accomplished lawyer and a close and trusted member of my White House staff."
Obama made the announcement Saturday in a video message to the U.S.-Islamic World Forum in Doha, Qatar. He said he made the move to broaden the outreach strategy toward the Muslim world he laid out last year in Cairo.
"Rashad has played a key role in developing the partnerships I called for in Cairo. And as a hafiz of the Quran, he is a respected member of the American Muslim community, and I thank him for carrying forward this important work," Obama said. A hafiz is someone who has memorized the Quran, the sacred book of Islam.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be speaking Sunday at the 7th annual forum and Obama took the opportunity Saturday to laud the event and reiterate what he calls the "new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world" – a relationship that he says has been marred by "misunderstanding and mistrust."
"The United States is responsibly ending the war in Iraq; we are removing all our combat brigades from Iraq by the end of August, and we will partner with the Iraqi people on behalf of their long-term security and prosperity. In Afghanistan and beyond, we are forging partnerships to isolate violent extremists, reduce corruption and to promote good governance and development that improves lives.
"We remain unyielding in pursuit of a two-state solution that recognizes the rights and security of Israelis and Palestinians. And the United States will continue to stand for the human rights and dignity of people around the world," he said.
Obama said his administration has held thousands of events with students, civil society groups, faith leaders and entrepreneurs, including Clinton's "landmark" visit to Pakistan.
"And I look forward to continuing the dialogue during my visit to Indonesia next month. This dialogue has helped us turn many of the initiatives I outlined in Cairo into action," the president said.
Obama also listed outreach initiatives toward the Muslim world in education, economic development, science and technology, food security, and global health.
"None of this will be easy. Fully realizing the new beginning we envision will take a long-term commitment. But we have begun."
Hussain has served as a trial attorney at the U.S. Department of Justice, a law clerk on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, and an editor of the Yale Law Journal. He posted a message on the White House blog saying he is "honored and humbled" by the appointment.
"I am committed to deepening the partnerships that he (Obama) outlined in his visionary address last summer. I look forward to updating you on the Administration's efforts in these areas over the coming months," he said.
The Organization of the Islamic Conference says it is the second largest inter-governmental organization after the United Nations and that its 57-state membership is "spread over four continents."

Bloomfield Unity Montessori and Daycare
Farmington–August 25–Ms. Ayesha Ali, co-principal of the Bloomfield Unity Montessori and Daycare took some time to talk with TMO about her school this week.
This Montessori school is in fact not a direct competitor with most of the other Islamic day schools that TMO has interviewed in the past years, as it is a preschool–in fact it is a feeder for the other Islamic schools, like Huda and others.
The Bloomfield Montessori school has about 30 students, and is based inside the BMUC mosque. The Montessori program focuses on children up to six years old, and has accepted children as young as 8 weeks.
Inspired by the success of the Tawheed Center's hifz program, which has really become the gold standard for local mosque's religious instruction, Ms. Ali explained to TMO that the Bloomfield Montessori preschool will offer a hifz program patterned on Tawheed's–with reliance on Calvert's home school curriculum, and reliance on Shaykh Ahmad, a trained qari–to instruct the children in tajweed and memorization.
The hifz program at Bloomfield will be for 1st and 2nd grade students. Ms. Ali explained that "three or four" students have enrolled in the hifz program so far, and that the class will be capped at ten. The hifz program will cost $600 per month. The regular Montessori program is $700 per month. Preschool is $550 per month, and the school is available to parents for the entire year if they want.
Local Mosques and Ramadan
Farmington–August 26–FCNA calculations this year coincided with the Saudi ruling regarding the beginning of Ramadan, leaving most Southeast Michigan Sunni mosques on the same note with regard to the beginning and perhaps also the ending of Ramadan.
FCNA, the Fiqh Council of North America, which calculates based on the physical visibility of the moon in Mecca, determined that the Ramadan moon, which entered early Thursday morning, would not be visible after sunset in Saudi on Thursday therefore the Ramadan month was said to begin Saturday.
The Supreme Court of Saudi Arabia in somewhat of a surprise announcement on Thursday said also that fasting would begin Saturday.
Other nations fasting Saturday included Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei–the majority of Sunni nations. Four nations however began fasting Friday, including Turkey, Albania, Bosnia, and Libya.
Shi'a followers of the Lebanese marja Sayyed Muhammad Hussein Fadlullah also began fasting Friday, relying also on calculations. However, followers of other Shi'a maraja began fasting Saturday.
Local Michigan mosques mainly began fasting Saturday, however with varying reasoning. The Tawheed Center of Farmington, the Muslim Center of Detroit, and Bloomfield Muslim Unity Center all began Saturday based on following the recommendations of FCNA.
The Flint Islamic Center, MCA of Ann Arbor, and the Grand Blanc Islamic Center began Saturday as well, but for the reason that Saudi Arabia had announced it would begin fasting on Saturday.
MCWS, the Canton mosque, also following FCNA. 'Isha and tarawih at MCWS will begin at 10 for the first 10 days, then 9:45 for the second 10 days, and 9:30 for the final 10 days.
Dr. Saleem of the Flint Islamic Center on Corunna explained that 'Eid will also be based on the Saudi 'Eid. 'Isha and tarawih at FIC will be at 10pm for the first 2 weeks and at 9:30pm for the final 2 weeks.
Flint is having a community dinner every Saturday night, with about 500 people, Dr. Saleem explained to TMO.
After Ramadan many of the local mosques likely including Flint, intend to participate in the mass 'Eid celebration at the Rock Financial Showplace, continuing last year's beginning of the tradition.

I have a lot of azaleas and am always adding more.
Nothing unusual, however, but still attractive. The kurumes, girards, glenn dales, robin hills and belguims all bloom beautifully provided we don't have a late freeze.
This is one gorgeous year too. The Southern Indicas, zip. Maybe one of two flowers each year, if any, in 8 years. Most have no flowers.
They are intermingled with the others to give a long bloom time. Mostly they get bright shade. All I can think of is to move them to full sun. None of them get full sun now. This year I added 5 new formosas to full sun- so I'll see next year.
I am posting this on the Georgia forum also. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Most Southern Indicas that I know of are only hardy to Zone 8. If you really are located in Zone 7 then winter could be killing the buds and leaving you with nice green bushes and no more. Can you double check the plant labels that came with the plants (if you still have the labels that is), bumblebeez? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Plant Info Listing Some Indicas

Thanks for your reply, luis. But they are blooming all around here although perhaps my micro climate is killing the buds. I am going to move some to full sun and see what happens next year. |

It'd be great if Fantasy Flight released a booster pack with more heroes to use. The 12 guys included in the core game are cool, but a little more variety would be welcome. I know there are more heroes out there, but they're not easy/affordable to acquire. I would gladly plunk down cash for some more guys just to mix up the games some more.
Banners of War will surely help with its new guys, but I need more!

I had a wonderful trip east! It was so nice to be back in NC and see so many family members and friends. I visited my grandma in Baltimore first, where I met up with my mom. We did some shopping and lots of eating. I was even able to see Matt's mom who drove up and joined us for dinner!
On Friday, I headed down to NC to my childhood best friend's wedding.
After a year, it felt so good to be home, and it was nice timing with father's day!
The wedding was out on a farm and the scenery was just beautiful. The ceremony was in a meadow and then there was dinner and dancing in a restored barn.
The bride did a wonderful job with all the little details!
The ceremony was very romantic and there were many sniffling guests.
I got to catch up with most of my high school friends throughout the evening – hadn't see these girls since my wedding last year:(
There was an incredible dessert bar!!! I tried about five things and all were delish. I took a piece of carrot cake to go and it was divine:)
My sister was able time come home on Sunday, so we all went out for a grand father's day bbq brunch at the new Pit in Durham!!
The food was incredible and made me really miss NC style bbq! Mr. Mazen showed off his perfect table manners by carefully buttering his biscuit – too cute!
A belated happy father's day to my dad, my new father-in-law, and all the dads out there!

Pictured above is a device that, if it existed, would have justified the Texas Rangers acquiring Cliff Lee from the Philadelphia Phillies. Unfortunately, a flux capacitator that allows for man to travel in time, has yet to be manufactured in any place other than fiction. So, despite the combined brain power of the Rangers and Phillies respective front offices working together, they reportedly could not get back to a moment in time where such a trade would make sense.
I touched on it briefly earlier today, but any team having conversations with the Phillies would have to be willing to do something that they wouldn't do two years ago, when Lee signed his deal with Philadelphia. On top of that, they would also have to pay an additional price in the form of prospects for the privilege of attaining a contract that they didn't want to sign only a short time ago, when Lee was two years younger and presumably better.
As I wrote earlier in the day:
Lee's contract includes a limited no trade clause that would allow him to block deals to all but eight clubs, and he is still owed whatever portion remains of the $21.5 million he's owed this season, and then another $75 million over the next three years, plus a $25 million club/vesting option in 2016 (that can be bought out for $12.5 million if Lee is on the Disabled List at end of the 2015 season with an injury to the left elbow or left shoulder, and didn't accumulate 200 innings pitched in 2015 or 400 innings pitched in 2014-15). However, as we've discussed in the past, no trade rights are often used as leverage for a player to earn a little bit of bonus money from being traded.
It's therefore not surprising to learn that the Phillies and Rangers also failed to come up with an agreement that could work without time travel for both sides. I suppose it was fun while it lasted, though.
