Thursday, Oct. 18
Boston at Cleveland (8:21 p.m. EDT).
C.C. Sabathia tries to pitch the Indians into their first World Series since 1997, facing Game 1 winner Josh Beckett.
Down 3-1 in the ALCS, Josh Beckett and Boston will try to save their season when they face Cleveland on Thursday night. The predicament is nothing new for Beckett, who started Florida's comeback from a 3-1 deficit in the 2003 NLCS with a two-hit shutout against the Chicago Cubs in Game 5.
C.C. Sabathia wasn't at his best in Cleveland's 10-3 loss to Boston in Game 1 of the ALCS, giving up eight runs, seven hits and five walks in just 4 1-3 innings. Luckily for the Indians ace, his teammates have won three straight and will send him to the mound on Thursday with a chance to clinch a trip to the World Series.
With a record eight days off, Colorado has plenty of time to get ready for their first World Series. Last year, Detroit had six days' rest, then played poorly in losing the Series in five games to St. Louis. Manager Clint Hurdle noted on Wednesday that seven of the 10 teams that had to wait five days or more before the Series actually won it all.
''I don't even know if it's sunk in yet. It may take a little while longer. But I don't want to pinch myself. I don't want to wake up. It's a magical ride and I want to stay on it as long as possible.'' - Colorado first baseman Todd Helton, on the Rockies' unpredictable run to the World Series.

What bettors need to know: Game 5 – Boston at Cleveland
Beckett vs. Sabathia - Part II
The Boston Red Sox will turn to Josh Beckett with hopes that he can keep their series and season alive against the Cleveland Indians.
Beckett, who went 20-7 with a 3.27 ERA during the regular season, was masterful in the ALCS opener against the Indians. The right-hander turned in six solid innings en route to a 10-3 victory, his second of the postseason.
"There's no one better for us," Mike Lowell told MLB.com Tuesday night. "That's the guy we want on the mound. It's kind of ironic. He took Game 5 in '03 and that spelled out good things for us. Hopefully, he does the same for us."
The Indians hand the ball back to C.C. Sabathia, their Game 1 starter, on Thursday. The left-hander gave up eight runs, seven hits and five walks in 4 1/3 innings the loss to the Red Sox.
Sabathia was 19-7 with a 3.21 ERA and 209 strikeouts this season. Boston's hitters, nevertheless, were able to get hits off Sabathia in the ALCS opener. Manny Ramirez went 2-for-2 with an RBI single and three walks, two of them with the bases loaded, and David Ortiz went 2-for-2 with two walks and a hit-by-pitch.
"A pitcher like C.C., when he gives you something to hit, you want to make sure you hit it, because otherwise you might never get to see that pitch again," Ortiz told reporters.
Under pressure
The Red Sox are in a familiar position in the ALCS. Boston trails the Tribe 3-1 in the series and faces elimination Thursday night at Jacobs Field in Cleveland.
David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, Varitek, Curt Schilling, Mike Timlin, Tim Wakefield, Doug Mirabelli and Kevin Youkilis are holdovers from the 2004 Red Sox, the team that came back from three games down to upset the Yankees in the ALCS.
Boston went on to win the World Series that season.
"There's a lot of guys in this clubhouse still that know in '04 we were down three games to nothing to New York," Wakefield told MLB.com. "We've got our work cut out for us, and hopefully we can take this back to Boston and get in front of our home crowd."
Two other players on the '07 Red Sox went through a similar experience as members of another team. Mike Lowell and Josh Beckett were with the 2003 Marlins when that team came back from three games down in the NLCS to oust the Chicago Cubs.
Florida also went on to win the World Series that season.
"I think that's when you have to lean on past experience," Mirabelli told reporters. "Some of these guys on this team have been in this situation before. There is still a lot of fight in this team. Guys really believe that they can win ballgames. We've always said that these are seven one-game series. We have to approach them like that."
Cleveland rocks
No team has ousted both the Yankees and Red Sox in the same postseason. That could change Thursday night.
The Indians have three chances to topple the mighty Red Sox, starting with Thursday's game.
"I'm excited that we've taken it this far," manager Eric Wedge told MLB.com. "But we still have a lot of work to do."
History is on the Indians side entering Game 5 of the ALCS. Since 1985, when the League Championship Series expanded to a best-of-seven format, 10 of the previous 13 teams to hold 3-1 leads in the ALCS have gone on to win the series.
"We're up, 3-1, and that doesn't mean anything," Victor Martinez told reporters. "We've got to finish them off."
Crunching the numbers
Both teams are riding some healthy betting trends going into Thursday's game.
The Red Sox are 6-1 in their last seven games against left-handed starters and are 7-3 in their last 10 overall against southpaws.
The Indians are 4-1 in their last five games against right-handed starters and are 41-19 in their last 60 games against righties at Jacobs Field.
The Indians are also 4-0 in their last four playoff games at home. The Red Sox, on the other hand, are 1-4 in their last four playoff games outside Fenway Park.
Re: Baseball Today - October 18
Boston (4-3) at Cleveland (6-2)
Now just one win away from their first trip to the World Series in a decade, the Indians will turn to ace C.C. Sabathia (20-8, 3.49 ERA) for tonight's Game 5, while the Red Sox will counter with their ace Josh Beckett (22-7, 3.13) in a rematch from Game 1.
After getting crushed 10-3 in the opener of this best-of-7 series, Cleveland has stormed back to take the last three games by scores 13-6 in 10 innings, 4-2 and 7-3. In Tuesday's rout, the Tribe scored all seven runs in the fifth inning, improving to 4-0 at home in the postseason and 19-4 in their last 23 at Jacobs Field. Also, Eric Wedge's club is 37-14 in its last 51 overall, including 10-3 when playing as an underdog.
Boston, which has dropped three straight after opening the postseason with four consecutive wins, is still 9-5 in its last 14 games at Jacobs Field, but just 3-3 this year. The Red Sox are looking to become the first team to overcome a 3-1 deficit in a League Championship Series since the 2004 Sox battled back from an 0-3 hole to top the Yankees en route to a world title.
Beckett dominated the Indians in Game 1, allowing just two runs on four hits in six innings en route to the 10-3 victory. He's 2-0 with a 1.20 ERA in two postseason starts this year, allowing just eight hits and no walks while striking out 15. For his career, the righthander is 4-2 with a 1.87 ERA in six playoff appearances (five starts).
Beckett's first two playoff starts this year have come at home, but he was actually a better pitcher on the road in 2007, going 11-2 with a 2.18 ERA in 13 starts (compared with 11-5, 3.82 ERA at home). One of his two losses did come in Cleveland, though it wasn't Beckett's fault, as he gave up just a single run on four hits with no walks and seven strikeouts in eight innings, coming up on the short end of a 1-0 final. In his only other career start at The Jake, he gave up nine runs (eight earned) in 3 2/3 innings in a 15-3 loss in April 2006.
In three starts against Cleveland this year, Beckett is 2-1 with a 2.14 ERA.
Sabathia has followed up an outstanding regular season with a subpar playoffs, allowing 11 runs (all earned) on 11 hits and 11 walks in 9 1/3 innings. Although the Indians bailed him out in a 10-3 win against the Yankees in Game 1 of the ALDS, Sabathia wasn't so lucky in Game 1 of this series, surrendering eight runs in 4 1/3 innings of the 10-3 defeat. Including that result, the hefty lefty is now 2-5 with a 4.96 ERA in eight lifetime starts against Boston.
Sabathia has been sensational at Jacobs Field this year, going 12-4 with a 3.21 ERA in 20 starts, with Cleveland winning 15 of those contests.
Although Game 1 soared over the total, the under is still 5-3 in Beckett's last eight starts, 8-5 when he pitches on the road, 8-3 in Sabathia's last 11 outings and 5-2-1 in Sabathia's eight career starts against the BoSox.
The under is 2-1-1 in this best-of-7 series and 4-1-1 in the six meetings this season between these teams at Jacobs Field.
ATS ADVANTAGE: BOSTON and UNDER
Re: Baseball Today - October 18
ALCS Game 5 preview
The Rockies are on ice for the time being, while the Indians are one game away from returning to the World Series for the first time since losing to the Marlins in 1997. To make this even more dramatic, Cleveland has been void of a World Series title since 1948 (three years after the end of World War II for you history buffs out there), beating the Boston Braves 4-2 in that best-of-seven series.
The Tribe have won three straight gamess to take a 3-1 ALCS lead. Can Boston rally? Only nine teams in baseball history have ever rebounded from a 3-1 deficit during a best-of-seven playoff match. The last time this scenario materialized was in 2003 when the Florida Marlins rallied to eliminate the Cubs.
Guess who was the starter for the Marlins in Game 5 of that series? You guessed it, none other than Josh Beckett.
Boston is staring directly down the barrel of a loaded gun and the Tribe has their finger on the trigger. Fortunately for the Red Sox, they have their ace on the mound tonight.
The good news for Cleveland is that Game 5 will be played in Jacobs Field with 43,345 rabid fans swinging their towels in support of the home team.
Throwing for 15 innings during the postseason so far, Beckett has been devastating to the opposing team, giving up just eight hits with two earned runs. His 15 strikeouts (one per inning) and zero base on balls is just one example of how dominating the six-year vet has been.
Beckett's 2007 career postseason record currently stands at 4-2 with a 1.56 ERA.
While the pitching matchup looks great on paper, the Red Sox batting order has mysteriously disappeared (or should I say that Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz and Mike Lowell just can't supply all of the runs for this club).
To make the point of horrible hitting clear, J.D. Drew, Jason Varitek, Coco Crisp and Dustin Pedroia have combined to produce a wretched .199 BA with just 11 RBIs in seven games at the plate. The way Cleveland has been pitching, including starter Paul Byrd's last appearance on the mound (five innings, giving up six hits and two earned runs), Boston must get production from its bottom order if they want a chance to bring the fight back to Fenway.
Another footnote pertaining to the Red Sox falling face first with the bat in their hand; at home Boston connected to produce a .297 BA with 453 RBIs (5.6 RBIs per game), as opposed to hitting a skimp .262 BA with 376 RBIs on the road (4.6 RBIs per game) during the regular season.
The Indians have been on the complete opposite side of the gamut when inside the batters box.
Four players (who have batted in all eight games in this postseason) are hitting .300 or better and only four more players are hitting under .280. That's a sizable difference in offensive numbers, especially with men on base.
In-fact with runners on, Cleveland has combined to produce a .275 BA, knocking in 40 RBIs with a .435 slugging percentage. If ALCS MVP candidate Jhonny Peralta has anything to add to this discussion it's his .353 BA with nine RBIs (with runner on base) that has done the talking.
Cleveland is 9-3 in its last 12 games when installed as an underdog, and is 37-14 in its last 51 overall games.
To make this game a dogfight until the very last inning, the Tribe will call upon the services of ace hurler C.C. Sabathia. In his only two outings during the postseason, Sabathia has been responsible for pitching in 9.1 innings, while surrendering 11 hits, 11 runs and two long balls. His 10.61 ERA has indicated that C.C. has fallen on hard times during the playoffs, but don't think that this means Boston will hammer him into oblivion.
There's a reason why Sabathia went 19-7 during the regular season with a 3.21 ERA. When paired against lefties, this southpaw pitcher has slapped opponents for a .203 BAA.
Before placing your winning bet, be aware that Sabathia has been inconsistent with five or more days of rest. During the regular season, C.C. hurled the ball for a 15-6 record with a 2.97 on four days of rest, but suffered with a 4.17 ERA on five or more (he did go 3-1 however in those 41 innings of work with extended resting time).
On the road this year, the Sox went 13-15 versus left-handed pitchers.
The 'over' has gone 8-10 during the season when Sabathia started on the mound.
The Indians are 20-6 in their last 26 contests when their opponent has allowed 5 runs or more in their previous game.
Gametime is set to begin on Thursday at 8:00 p.m. EDT, with most books installing the Red Sox as $1.19 visiting favorites. The total has been set at eight runs.
Re: Baseball Today - October 18
Beckett ready to start Game 5
Associated Press
Boston fans can hold onto those heating pads and Ben-Gay, Josh Beckett 's back is just fine.
Beckett felt some tightness in his back last Friday, when he pitched the Red Sox to a 10-3 victory over Cleveland in Game 1 of the American League championship series. But the right-hander didn't have any issues when he threw his bullpen session Monday, and is set to start Game 5 on Thursday night.
``It's not an issue. ... He's 100 percent for tomorrow,'' Red Sox pitching coach John Farrell said Wednesday. ``His bullpen two days ago was as strong as others throughout the course of the season, so there's no restrictions of any kind.''
Thursday's game is a must-win for the Red Sox, who trail Cleveland 3-1 in the best-of-seven series.
The weather in Boston on Friday night was cool and windy, and Beckett was lifted after six innings because he felt some stiffness in his back. It was simply ``precautionary,'' Farrell said, and Beckett certainly didn't appear to be struggling. He threw six innings of four-hit ball for his second victory of the postseason.
WHAT'S COOKIN: Colorado's Aaron Cook hasn't started since Aug. 10, but the Rockies are contemplating putting him on their World Series roster.
Cook, the team's opening-day starter, went on the disabled list Aug. 16 with a left oblique strain. He made one rehab start at Triple-A Colorado Springs in September, and when the injury bothered him again, he was shut down for the remainder of the regular season.
Cook was healthy enough to be added to the roster for the NL championship series against Arizona, but the Rockies decided not to include him.
Cook went 8-7 with a 4.12 ERA for the Rockies this season. He had a complete-game win over San Diego on July 25 in which he threw only 74 pitches.
``This will definitely be our toughest decision,'' pitching coach Bob Apodaca said after a team workout Wednesday.
Rockies manager Clint Hurdle would love nothing more than to see how Cook fares in a real-game setting. However, he's going to have to make the decision based on simulated games this week.
``We can't have him throw in a game to hitters,'' Hurdle said. ``That's the best test he needs to have next.''
Cook recently pitched in an instructional league game down in Tucson, Ariz., with mixed results.
``There was some crispness to his pitches,'' Hurdle said. ``And there was some rust. But as far as being physically able to go and no more lasting effects from the injury, we believe he's past that.''
MANNY BEING MANNY: Leave it to Manny Ramirez to stir things up.
The quirky Red Sox outfielder paused to admire his long solo home run in Game 4 on Tuesday night - Boston's third straight after shots by Kevin Youkilis and David Ortiz. Ramirez often watches his homers, but considering the 451-foot drive to center came when Boston was trailing by five runs, it rubbed a few of the Cleveland Indians the wrong way.
``I guess now I know full well what Manny being Manny means,'' said Cleveland reliever Jensen Lewis, who gave up the homer.
The Indians won 7-3 to get within one game of the World Series. And on Wednesday, Ramirez insisted he wasn't trying to show anybody up.
``I'm just trying to go have fun,'' he said. ``If somebody strikes me out and shows me up, that's part of the game. I love it. I like that. I like to compete and when people strike me out and they show me up, it's all good. There's no hard feelings.''
Ramirez spent seven-plus seasons in Cleveland, and was part of the Indians' World Series teams in 1995 and 1997.
At least one Indians player didn't have a problem with Ramirez posing.
``It's the playoffs, and you've got to enjoy it,'' said outfielder Kenny Lofton, a former teammate of Ramirez. ``If I hit a ball like that, I'd do it, too.''

When roads are impassable or infrastructure is destroyed, WFP turns to the skies to quickly bring humanitarian cargo and aid workers to cut-off communities in the most inaccessible places on the planet. Whether the cause is flood or earthquake, cyclone or war, WFP Aviation operates on the front lines of hunger.
Read the WFP Aviation Annual Review 2013
Read the WFP Aviation Operational Snapshot, January - June 2014
When delivery by land renders surface transport impossible, WFP organizes airlifts, which deploy life-saving food assistance by plane within 48 hours. Serving not only WFP, reliable and cost-efficient air transport of food and non-food cargoes is made available to the entire humanitarian community, including UN agencies and NGOs. When needed, WFP also performs air drops, flying over designated 'drop zones' and releasing aid cargos from high above, thus serving remote populations through a rapid and targeted response.
As the world's leading humanitarian airline, the UN Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) currently has a fleet of more than 50 chartered aircraft, including helicopters, deployed to 13 operations. Aid workers in the deep field, with no other means of transportation, rely on UNHAS to bring them to some of the world's most remote and isolated communities, where commercial airlines do not fly. With service to approximately 250 regular destinations in 14 countries, UNHAS carried over 364,000 humanitarian passengers in 2013.
Emergency Preparedness
In times where civil unrest has pushed communities to the brink, and aid workers are cut-off from those they're trying to help, time is of the essence. Thanks to a strategic fleet of two stand-by helicopters based in Entebbe, Uganda, WFP is able to further ensure that we are in place to respond quickly and efficiently. From this geographically central location, these helicopters are ready for deployment in 24 hours, and are poised to reach all of continental Africa, Madagascar and even Pakistan if required. With the ability to carry essential food assistance and cargo, they are well equipped to transfer aid workers to the most hard-to-reach places, as well as perform medical evacuations. Funded by EU ECHO, they are made available to not only WFP, but the humanitarian community as well.
Passenger safety is at the forefront of all WFP Aviation operations. WFP's Aviation Safety Unit, headquartered in Rome with regional offices in Kenya, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates, is responsible for ensuring adequate levels of safety in WFP humanitarian air operations, in accordance with United Nations Common Aviation Safety Standards and the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) standards and best practices.

Of this, $1.3 million will go toward supporting nursing education and nursing specialty certification. Bonnie Perratto, MSN, MBA, RN, NEA-BC, FACHE, senior vice president and chief nursing executive, commented, "There is a real need for nurses to be more prepared at the baccalaureate and master's level, and certified in their area of specialization. Evidence-based research shows that hospitals with nurses prepared at this level can achieve better patient outcomes. At Bayhealth, we believe it is important to support our nurses when they are working towards that higher level." According to Perratto, Bayhealth is well on the way to having 80% of its direct care nursing staff BSN or MSN prepared by 2020. The mission of Bayhealth Foundation is to develop ongoing philanthropic support for the programs and services of Bayhealth and its health care affiliates. Created in 1983, the Bayhealth Foundation receives, manages and disburses all contributions, including cash donations, securities, real estate, gifts-in-kind, or bequests, to improve Bayhealth's services.

So we had some very wild weather last night which resulted in my red tecoma hedge toppling over. It was too badly damaged to try and salvage. So I have cleared it away and decided it's as good a spot as any to grow a rose hedge. I will need something tall (six feet min) and preferably evergreen that will make a suitable screen. I have a couple of mutabilis and would prefer something different. And fragrant. Any suggestions? |

'Spray Cecile Brunner' comes to mind. It's massive, beautiful, and fragrant, but it does like to be 2-3 meters tall and wide. I thought of it because most roses that get that tall tend either to spread or to flop to some extent, but SCB doesn't: it makes a vase-shaped shrub. Among the Teas, you might take a look at 'Archduke Joseph', to use this rose's European name. This one will grow very tall--you might need to give it support--is evergreen or nearly so, with particularly good foliage, and has beautiful fragrant flowers. I grow the old Noisettes 'Blush Noisette' and 'Belle Vichyssoise' as upright largish shrubs. Both have small, abundant, sweetly fragrant pale flowers, with a scent that wafts. All these roses are evergreen in a warm climate, and all grow tolerably upright without support, with the possible exception of 'Archduke Joseph'. I hope this helps. Melissa |

I would echo Spray Cecile Brunner. Just be careful not to plant too many! Here are pics of our 100+ year old bush. The first one is when it is not blooming, and has my DH in the picture for scale. The second pic is when it is blooming. This is ONE bush. I am guessing it is a spray Cecile Brunner - it is definitely some sort of Cecile Brunner, and does not have the rampant growth which the Cl version does, so it has to be the spray version, or the normal bush version (which I have 2 of, and neither gets anywhere near this big. It is growing in No Cal, zone 9 - classic Mediterranean climate. Jackie |

The Banksia rose was evergreen at my mum's house in Perth. The white one had a beautiful subtle fragrance, but the yellow one didn't have any fragrance. She grew it over a pergola - it would most likely require support for a hedge though. A once-bloomer, but it bloomed for ages and ages. |
you could look at Adelaide D'Orleans or any of the sempervirens ramblers. |

Lots of pics. Just for reference, here is the before with the previous owner's decorating choices. Here is the after. Looking for dining area rug suggestions. The table is our main dining area so the rug needs to be cleanable and durable. My family tells me there is too much blue in the room (sofas, back splash, bar stools) so I can't use blue. Here are the colors on the chairs and in the adjoining family room. Here is my bowling alley. What should I put near the windows? Some of you may remember that I was considering a bright red, industrial table for behind the sofa. DH made a less dramatic table that turned out great. |

My first impression is the bowling alley is fine just the way it is,no rug. |
Plow & Hearth has beautiful indoor/outdoor rugs, which are so easy to maintain. Some I thought might look good in your dining room: |
In the pic I put up that has the two rugs in it, you could do something like, put one of the rugs as a rectangle under the table, and get the other in a runner for the "bowling alley" area. That would look pretty cool, I think. |
Your pictures are upside down for me, so, at first glance, I thought your chairs were on the ceiling! Duh! It looks to me like you're going for a coastal feel. I know you said no blue, but I would do a wide striped navy or lighter blue flatweave rug. If not blue, then perhaps black or chocolate brown? It's difficult to make out the other colors in your fabric, but other than blue, none look clearly definable to me. It's a very beautiful room and does not look at all like a bowling alley, but like one can breathe. |
How about putting the dining table over towards the sofa table a couple more feet. From the picture the room looks lopsided a bit. Like the dining area is too far over to its wall. That would help the bowling alley effect. As far as rugs go, I am seeing lots of beige/browns in the room. Walls curtains and the current rug. I would try a traditional wool oriental with lots of colors but with red. |
Ugh - I'm sorry about the upside down pics. They are right side up in photobucket and in my post. I wonder what would happen if I turned them in photobucket. Would they then be upside down for me? I'll try moving the table. The table is now centered under the light fixture so I think I might trade one issue for another. Thanks for the great suggestions. I'm really torn between doing something traditional or contemporary. I like ppbenn's rug and I also like the last 2 that Tibbix posted. |
This post was edited by deee on Wed, Mar 19, 14 at 9:41
Pics aren't upside down for me. Curious. |
I love seeing the beautiful wood. I would not put anything there. It doesn't look like a bowling alley at all. |
I, too, love seeing the floors just as they are. I wouldn't put a thing there, including a runner. It's nice to have an unrestricted walkway into your rooms and looks very inviting, as is. But since it looks like the end chairs do not fit onto the rug, you may need to get a larger one, which will likely fill some of the floor space in all directions. |
I'm on an iPad and most of the OP pix are upside down for me too. The previous owner pix is okay, the others are not. Your husband made that pretty XX table? Wow, it's beautiful and you are lucky. |
I have a similar set-up. I left the bowling alley because I love the floor. I have medium-size house plants in neutral pots in front of the sunny windows. |
hhireno - DH did make the xx shelves. I told him it looks just as good as the stuff on Joss and Main and I think he was a little offended. The sad part is that he made most of it from lumber scraps in our garage. From now on, every time I fuss about our middle class clutter garage, he will point to his lovely shelves. andee - I will have to move some of our small palms over by the window and see how that looks. Thanks for all the suggestions. |
Your room is so beautiful. I would opt for a rug similar to the one ppbenn posted. I think an oriental style would really be perfect in your room. |

We recently found out that the folks over at Beam Global Spirits & Wine have created a small private online community of bartenders who gather to share input on the direction of the company's brands. Now Beam is interested in expanding this group, and they might want to pick you as their next member! It's rare to get the chance to directly impact the direction of the brands you purchase, so this is a great opportunity to do just that.
As a member of the forum, you'll have a voice in influencing the development, education, advertising and strategy for Beam products while connecting with other bartenders from around the country. If selected, you'll be able to share your thoughts on a variety of spirits- and bartending-related topics, and in appreciation for your feedback, you'll earn monthly Amazon.com e-gift certificates.
To see if you qualify, all you need to do is complete this brief questionnaire. Good luck, and enjoy the conversation!

I know someone who's clearing wide paths through a woodlot that contains some musclewood trees. I'd love to save a few of these and transplant to a nearby woods I'm involved with. I've read these aren't the best at transplanting. I figure this is an idea time to try with little to loose, but has anyone had success with digging up Carpinus caroliniana of about 10' height? I would be able to get them water at the same frequency as if it was a home transplant. |

I have moved big ones successfully using a tree spade (well, a contractor did, not me!). They had trunk calipers of about 3-4" and were easily 10' tall and they didn't skip a beat. That was 10 years ago and they are now enormous. I have also dug up seedlings and transplanted them and they did fine, too. My only suggestion is to make sure to do this while they are dormant (although I dug up all of the seedlings when they had leaves). I think it's worth a try. Sara |

Diablo book Stay Awhile and Listen now availableWe had previously posted an excerpt from David L. Craddock's Stay Awhile and Listen: How Two Blizzards Unleashed Diablo and Forged a Video-Game Empire - Book 1 and it's now available for Kindle, iBooks, Nook, and Google Play. Such a specific title! You know what you're getting here. The book covers the making of Diablo and everything that was happening behind the scenes at Blizzard North and Blizzard Entertainment at the time, and it's packed full of anecdotes -- Stay Awhile and Listen was written from "hundreds of hours of interviews," according to Craddock. There's some really cool insight for those of us who were way into the game back in the day. Worth a look, from what I've read of it. Comments not appearing?

5A Quarterfinals Preview
-- Pope (8-11) @ Decatur (12-7) - To call the Pope Greyhounds enigmatic is an understatement. They entered the playoffs with a losing record and a 5 loss streak, but they handled higher seeded HIES easily with a 16-6 1st round win. It's hard to believe that their best win was 7-4 over Blessed Trinity back in March. It's hard to say which Pope team will show up today... the one that took Northview to OT early on, or the team that lost a crucial Area 2 game to Toona???
Decatur needed overtime to top BT in the opening round, and the Bulldogs are a bit of a mystery themselves. They've had some close losses against good teams (Johns Creek, MBA & Walton), but had some lopsided results against teams like Northview, Westy and Hooch. This one could go either way, but it just seems to feel like the kind of game Pope could wake up for.
-- Marist (15-3) @ Lovett (16-3) - These two had very different 1st Round games... Marist struggled to take down Cambridge 5-3, while Lovett breezed past Riverwood 17-3. Marist closed their regular season by beating SPX to gain the #2 seed, but they really haven't played the kind of schedule that prepares a team for the post-season.
The Lovett Lions have won 6 in a row since their OT loss to Milton in mid-April, but the bulk of those wins were against relatively weak Area 1 competition. Their best wins were over Hooch, Lambert and Pope earlier in the season. This game isn't likely to be close unless Lovett is looking forward to the Battle of Buckhead rematch against rival Westy.
-- Allatoona (13-6) @ Northview (18-1) - With at least a close game today, Toona will signal that they are a growing power in 5A. They completed rare back-to-back wins over the same team by beating McIntosh 13-5 in the 1st Round. Their best win was 14-12 over Area 2 rival Pope, but the Bucs have yet to show that they can hang close against a top tier team.
And the one loss Northview Titans are definitely a top tier team... they cruised past Benedictine 19-8 in the opening round. The Titans' only blemish this season was an 11-14 loss to Johns Creek, and they beat 5 of the other 7 5A playoff teams at some point this season. But they have looked a bit more vulnerable lately than earlier in the season. The loss to JC came on 4/22, and a week later they scraped by Blessed Trinity 13-11.
-- Greater Atlanta Christian (14-5) @ Westminster (17-2) - The GAC Spartans have had a solid season and used their #2 seed to top St. Pius 7-6 in the opening round of playoffs. With 4 of their 5 losses to 6A teams, their only loss in 5A was to Northview 5-12. This is another team that probably needs to ramp up their schedule in the future to be more battle-tested. They had a pair of non-Area games against weaker Area 1 teams, and the 6A Area 4 teams they played were not contenders with the exception of Roswell.
The Wildcats have battled injuries all season long, but they got their playoff run off to a good start with a 16-6 win over Pace Academy. Since falling to Northview 6-7 on March 29, Westy has won 8 in a row, including wins over Decatur, Lovett, Walton, Toona and Pope. They should be able to take care of business today unless they are looking ahead to a rematch with Lovett.

Pope beats Decatur 11-8. Pope brings own police officers to game. What's the deal with that? Oswald in goal wins game for pope.
ReplyDelete - GreyLaxMay 10, 2014 at 6:10 PM
Oswald had a great game but there were a multiple of reason Pope won. Pope controlled the face offs, and Allstate snubs #23 Borko and #24 Lynch are playing lights out. The defense also stepped up and only allowed 3 goals in the last 3 qtrs.
ReplyDeleteReplies- PlayFairMay 15, 2014 at 2:13 PM
By defense I hope you mean the goalie. There plenty of goal-worthy shots taken by Decatur to win the game, in fact. Oswald played lights out.
- WatcherMay 10, 2014 at 6:28 PM
Westminster over GAC 11-4.
8-1 at half; last two quarters, however, were unimpressive. - Lax FanMay 10, 2014 at 7:01 PM
Big number 25 for Decatur was shut down after being trucked by the Pope D pole. I do not think that he attempted another shot. Pope had many stupid penalties. But was in control the entire game.....the never trailed.
ReplyDelete - GreyLaxMay 11, 2014 at 12:01 PM
There was one cop there like you see at most games. Go to any football, basketball, or most sports and you will probably see a cop somewhere. This whole thing is ridiculas.
ReplyDelete - GamedayMay 11, 2014 at 3:26 PM
OK. Let's clear a few things up:
1. Pope won and deserved to win, but they did not "control the game the whole way". In fact it was tied at the end of each quarter except the 4th. It was, by definition, a close, tight game that Pope did not control until the last few minutes.
2. #25 for Decatur was cut off in the 4th quarter - hence the no shots. Pretty sure a D1 recruit football running back has been hit a little harder than the late hit by Pope.
3. I talked to the Cobb Co. police officer. He said they are not sent to every away game but was noncommittal about why he was there on Saturday. No Decatur police were at the game. - ImpartialObserverMay 11, 2014 at 6:32 PM
Nah, Westy's got this game. They'll put Shamberger on Moffett and Trense on Russ and Lovett will struggle to score. It'll be close, but Westy wins this one 8-5
ReplyDelete - PlayFairMay 15, 2014 at 2:11 PM
Also, agree that the difference in the game was Pope's goalie and face-off success. Otherwise, it was an even contest.

Well, it's been pretty silent around these here parts, hasn't it?
Truth is, I'm not the best blogger, but I do a bit of Instagramming and lots on Facebook. So, in the mean time, until I do a catch up, join me over there!
I'll be catching up with y'all toute suite!
If you know me, you know I'm not much of a blog hop person. I love the hopping but don't get into the doing so much…..so I'm quite shocked at myself that I entered one! Big thanks to the hostess, my friend Diana Ptaszynski!
It's a fair assessment to say that waxed linen is a staple for me. In fact, I would say I use it in about 75% of all my designs. I love the feel it lends to my particular style. I love it's durability and I love the feel and flexibility it lends to pieces. I first learned about it when I used to do quite of bit of book binding, because my favorite bookbinding stitch uses it quite often. When I began making jewelry it was like a whole different world opened up with its use! In fact, the very first necklace I ever sold on Etsy years ago was with waxed linen!
This is the very first piece of jewelry I ever sold! Strung with waxed linen!
For the blog hop, I've really been wanting to figure out a way to use these African Vulcanite beads I picked up awhile back. I haven't been able to work them into the right design quite yet….to be honest, they are testing my patience….I've ripped apart just about everything I've made with them so far! I really like the way this necklace came together but now the seeds beads are annoying me in this piece, so it may yet get a redo!
I wanted something simple and light and wearable for everyday that I could also layer with longer pieces….I'm all about long pieces these days…..so I used a petite feather charm from Green Girl Studios…On the back it says, "To thine own self be true"….. I spaced the vulcanite sections….They have a tendency not to be very flexible if you put too many together.
Then I added 6/0 picasso finished czech beads and some brass cubes for the shorter section. It's okay, but I think I'll be reworking that strand soon.
One of my favorite things about waxed linen is finishing it off and adding little dangles using the tail! I love switching them up and I think it add just a little something extra!
Have fun hopping!

I'm so sorry at a lack of new work to share with you but I did finish this piece, which I'm immensely proud of….
I started it last June and just finished it about a week ago….it took me awhile to work it out in the web of my brain….and make it work on paper. so here it is…If you want to see the whole creation of it, please look at the post on LMAJ….
But I also want to tell you a bit about it…
I buy alot of my metals from estate sales…these pieces not excluded. I love buying vintage copper stampings. Quite frankly, they just don't make 18g copper stampings anymore…I mean, you can get the standard shapes but I bought these from an estate…and try buying 18g copper stamping now…it's either impossible or stupid expensive for copper. but 18g. is my metal mistress. There is a heaviness to 18g. metal, I cannot deny…
So, I had this copper frontice you see now…I had 3 pieces which I stamped, and henceforth did some sawwork on….and they were left by the wayside, while in the meantime, I had a huge leg wound to heal from…I also thought they needed more of something.
So about 2 weeks ago, I woke up, carved out a middle piece from a vintage blue vinyl Elvis record…sawed the back from brass…held my breath to set the rivets, because I handset all my rivets…and there it is…..something that took me the better part of a year to finish…but in my book…worth it….
Getting back to Florida and settling back into something of a routine….my brain seems to be racing constantly….I'm mentally making lists of all the things that need to be done…the things left undone before we left in June….THEN, while at Target picking up a few things, I wandered past the Christmas lights….and that pretty much put me over the edge. Wasn't it just June?! The freak-out has started in my brain….it really couldn't have been avoided but since I'm already feeling like I just crawled out from under a rock….WELL….
So, I dug in this week and started designing, first some of the new pieces I showed you earlier this week, then into some more affordable pieces. A few months ago, I was on the receiving end of a large cache of dilapidated malas that came from a sale. They were in a large box of other jewelry supplies and were stuffed into a big ziploc that I thought was mostly junk but I gone through to be sure. To my delight, I rescued them before in a mad cleaning rage, I dumped the whole bag in the garbage.
I decided on these simple bracelets. Each one features the original wooden mala beads, along with one special bead. These beads are special beads I've been saving. Some are my own polymer clay beads, some are special beads I've been saving from other artists. Some are beautiful orphans from stone or shell, and some are really lovely vintage beads. I've finished them all with a special copper tag that I've hand stamped with positive messages or words. By adding these accents and reworking these tattered malas, I hope they will continue into a new life as simple wearable reminder to the wearer.
Oh, and I also finished up these beads this week. This is actually a style I started working on last year(!) but was never happy with the finish. There was something…missing….but I'm glad I finally worked through them. They might be some of my favorite to date.
All these have been listed in my shop if you'd like to help me buy cat food….
I finally sat down today to start on some new jewelry. Long overdue. And since my most recent batches of beads…I've been trying to hold some back for some making….so here's some eye candy from today….
All the new pieces are for sale in my shop.

Indie singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens is headed to Columbus' Palace Theatre on April 17 as part of a 33-date tour following the release of his album Carrie & Lowell.
The eccentric crooner made a name for himself with the album Illinois, his second installment in what even he admitted was a gimmicky attempt to release an album for every state in the U.S. (as of the 2005 release, Stevens still has released just two albums in his Fifty States Project).
Tickets for the Columbus stop are $39.50 and go on sale through Ticketmaster Friday, Jan. 30.

This week's reviews: A full slate of misses and near-misses
This weekend, the box office will debut a handful of movies. These releases fall into two categories: near-misses, like Cake, starring Jennifer Aniston; and complete whiffs, like Strange Magic and The Boy Next Door.
Cake nearly got Jennifer Aniston nominated for an Academy Award. Playing a plain, slightly overweight woman suffering from chronic pain, Aniston doesn't hint at her typical onscreen allure.
Her efforts weren't a complete miss, as Aniston was nominated for Best Actress in a Drama at the Golden Globes. She was, however, one of the names that topped most of the snubbed-by-the-Oscars list this year.
While Cake may not fill Aniston's trophy shelf, it may reap benefits down the line for the actress, according to critic Mick LaSalle.
"Aniston's appeal has always been that of exalted averageness," LaSalle said in his review. "The good news of Cake is that it proves that the actress can be appealing without being exalted or gorgeous — by simply being average."
* * *
The Boy Next Door, on the other hand, will be generating awards for nobody, unless it hold on for the 2016 Golden Raspberry Awards. The thriller is generating laughs for all the wrong reasons, and the Jennifer Lopez vehicle seems destined to roll right off the cliff.
The story about the Lopez, a teacher, and the innocent-looking stalker next door is preposterous, and the script is just as bad, according to critic Thomas Lee.
"Why Lopez decided to be a part of this inept, cliche-infested film is anyone's guess," Lee said in his review. "She might be an actress of limited range, but her work includes solid movies such as Selena and Out of Sight."

This week's reviews: War movie hits bull's-eye by changing course
Movies about American war heroes follow a pattern. American Sniper, which tells the story of deadly Navy sniper Chris Kyle, follows the plan, but breaks from the shackles enough to make it an original.
Star Bradley Cooper packed on some pounds and picked up an accent to play Kyle, the Navy SEAL whose proficiency on the battlefield belied his struggles at home. Cooper's turn in the lead role earned the actor an Academy Award nomination.
Director Clint Eastwood was not nominated for a Best Director Oscar, but he brought nuance to the film in a way that few others could.
Critic Kenneth Turan praises how American Sniper demonstrated the wear and tear that Kyle's work took on his life.
"The film is at its best when it deals with the assembly-line-of-death relentlessness of combat for Kyle — how it simultaneously consumes him and wears him down; and how, to his wife's distress, his life as a civilian between tours of duty becomes an aberration, not the norm," Turan said in his review.
While it follows in the traditions of the movies that came before it, American Sniper is original enough to make it must-see fare.

Elisabetta Canalis Steals the Show at Cannes (PHOTOS)
Sometimes, all it takes is a few bikinis and some stunning red carpet dresses to bring someone into the spotlight (and out of their significant other's shadow). Well, consider this the week that Elisabetta Canalis pulled it off, making everyone forget about movies by diverting the focus to her beauty.
The stunning Italian TV beauty -- who's best known for dating George Clooney -- found herself with photographers snapping away everywhere she went during the Cannes Film Festival ... and for good reason. Half of the time Canalis was in a bikini, as she was snapped showing off her remarkable body while lounging on Roberto Cavalli's yacht (tough life!). She switched from black to white bikinis depending on the day, but she was definitely red hot.
Then came the dresses.
Canalis strutted the red carpet with a vengance, rocking a slinky Cavalli dress with cut-out hips, once again flaunting her famous figure.
What did you learn at Cannes? We learned that George Clooney is one lucky dude.
