I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Wilmington, Del., a corporation of Delaware Filed July 30, 1968, Ser. No. 748,847 Int. Cl. D02g 3/02; D01h 7/92, 7/46 US. Cl. 57-157 4 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Description of the prior art British Patent 1,047,503 and United States Patent 3,225,533 disclose alternate-twist plied yarn structures and a method of making them. The method involves applying false twist to at least one of a plurality of parallel, separated, running textile strands, either intermittently in one direction or alternately in opposite directions, so as to produce in the strand(s) alternating zones of opposite twist separated by zones of zero twist referred to as nodes. The method further involves converging the strands downstream of the point where the false twist is applied, and permitting the twisted strand or strands to partially untwist. This untwisting action causes the strands to become alternate-twist plied about one another. In the embodiments of this method disclosed in the above patents, the strands are converged at a snub point which stops the twist being inserted into the strand or strands. In other words, the twisting device does not apply torque to the strand or strands downstream of the convergence point. In the US. patent, the strands are converged in the nip of a pair of gears; in the British patent, they are converged on snubbing rolls. Consequently, the twisted strands are freed to begin untwisting as soon as they pass the convergence point, and the ply action thus begins to occur essentially continuously as the strands pass this point. In these prior art embodiments, then, the plying zone is positively separated or isolated from the twisting zone by the convergence point. Summary of the invention It has now been found that improvements in the quality of plied yarn produced by the above-described method wherein the direction of twisting is periodically reversed can be obtained by converging the strands, without snubbing, immediately downstream of the twisting point, and States Patent 3,468,120 Patented Sept. 23, 1969 snubbing at a point downstream of the twisting point a distance less than the distance between nodes, and downstream of the convergence point a distance greater than /2 the distance between nodes. As already implied, the word snubbing is used herein in a special sense to refer to applying sufiicient constraint to the twisted strand or strands to prevent the torque produced by the false twisting from passing downstream or upstream of the point where such constraint is applied. The point where such constraint is applied is referred to as the snub point. As a consequence of this mode of operation, plying occurs intermittently in the zone between the convergence point and the snub point while a node, produced at the twisting point upon reversal of the direction of twist, moves through the plying zone and is free to rotate. During intermediate periods plying does not occur because the torque produced by the false twisting prevents the twisted strand or strands from untwisting and because there is no node in the plying zone which can rotate. When plying does occur, it occurs simultaneously on either side of a node as the node rotates with the untwisting of the strand. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, false twist is applied to all the strands in phase, that is with nodes and like twist zones in register, and the strands are converged in phase, whereby the nodes in the plied yarn correspond to the nodes in the strands. Also in this embodiment, the direction of twisting is reversed at equal intervals whereby the node intervals (i.e. distances between nodes) are constant. Improvements in yarn quality which are obtainable with practice of this invention include longer node intervals, shorter nodes, and higher level of twist adjacent nodes. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the twisted strands are constrained in the plying zone (i.e. the zone between the convergence point and the snub point) sufiiciently to slow down, but not prevent, untwisting. This permits production of a yarn with a very uniform ply twist profile. Brief description of drawings FIGS. 1 through 6 are schematic diagrams of the system used to practice the improvement of this invention, showing various phases of the operation through one complete cycle; FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the system used to produce alternate-twist plied yarn structures as taught in the prior art, in particular FIG. 9 of US. 3,225,533; FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of a preferred equipment arrangement for practicing the invention; FIG. 9 is a schematic representation of a portion of a plied yarn structure obtainable by the invention; and FIGS. 10 and 11 are plots showing two types of ply twist profile obtainable by the invention. Detailed description Referring to FIGS. 1 through 6, the system used in practicing this invention comprises upstream nip rolls (or other snubbing means) 12, false twisting means 14, converging guide 20, and driven nip rolls (or other snubbing and take-up means) 22. In operation parallel, separated, running strands 10 are passed through twisting means 14 where they are individually false twisted alternately in opposite directions. Immediately downstream of the twisting means 14 the yarns are converged by passing them through guide 20. Between guide 20 and nip rolls 22 the yarns ply, with the plying action occurring intermittently, to form stable alternate-twist plied yarn 18. Twisted sections of plied yarn 18 are represented by xs in the figures, and nodes are represented by ellipses. The other symbols in FIGS. 1-6 have the following meanings: ZS, SS and indicate, respectively, Z twist in strands 10, S twist is strands 10, and zero twist in strands ZP and SP indicate, respectively, Z twist in the plied yarn 18 and S twist in the plied yarn 18; N1, N2 and N3 indicate three consecutive nodes. FIG. 1 illustrates the condition of the system just at the end of an interval in which counterclockwise (as viewed in the direction of strand travel) twist has been applied to the strands 10, thus producing S twist in the strands 10 upstream of twisting means 14 and Z twist downstream. The S twist in strands 10 backs up to nip rolls 12, and the Z twist in strands 10 travels downstream to the point 24 where the strands are plied. Guide 20 converges but does not snub the strands 10, i.e. it does not stop or block the twist introduced by twisting means 14. Converged strands 10 between guide 20 and point 24 do not ply in this base of the operation because the action of twisting means 14 prevents them from untwisting, and also because there is no node in the plying zone between convergence point 20 and nip rolls 22 which can rotate. Rolls 22 provide the first snubbing point after the strands leave twister means 14. Downstream of point 24 is a section of previously produced plied yarn 18 having a node N1 with S ply upstream of the node and Z ply downstream. Twist in the strands 10 downstream of point 24 is zero at the node N1 and is opposite to the direction of ply twist in the ply-twisted portions of yarn 18. FIG. 2 illustrates the condition of the system a short time later, after the twisting action has been stopped momentarily, then reversed to twist the strands 10 in the opposite (clockwise) direction. Momentary removal of the twisting torque at the time of reversal of twist direction is preferred, but not necessary. In either case, at the instant of removal and/or reversal, the nodes produced in strands 10 pass through twisting means 14 and begin to travel downstream. Also the strands downstream of twisting means 14 begin to rotate at the nodes, since they are now free to untwist. As a result the strands 10 begin to ply in the area between guide 20 and point 24. When the nodes in the strands reach guide 20 plying begins to take place simultaneously on either side of the nodes, forming a node N2 in the ply which corresponds to the nodes in the singles. The untwisting and plying action travels downstream from node N2 toward point 24 at a high rate, much faster than the rate of yarn travel. High speed movies of the action shows waves travelling down the strand from the node N2 as the ply forms. Since the direction of twisting of strands 10 is clockwise, S twist is imparted to the strands downstream of twisting means 14 and Z twist is imparted upstream. However, at the moment of reversal, there will be from the previous interval some residual S twist upstream, and some S twist will have slipped through the twisting means 14. Consequently, there is a time, illustrated in FIG. 2, when the S twist imparted to the strands upstream of twisting means 14 by counterclockwise rotation is just offset by Z twist imparted upstream by clockwise rotation, so that the net twist upstream is zero. Also, the upstream S twist which slips through twisting means 14 upon reversal from counterclockwise to clockwise is .4 reinforced by the clockwise rotation during the phase shown in FIG. 2. It will be observed that the twisting means 14 assists the plying at this stage, since it causes the strands 10 to rotate downstream in the direction they want to go to untwist from the twist imparted during the previous interval. FIG. 3 illustrates the condition of the system a short time later at the middle of an interval in which the strands are being twisted clockwise. Node N2 has traveled downstream, and plying on either side of that node has been completed downstream to point 24 and upstream to point 24. Downstream of node N2 there is S ply twist while'upstream there is Z ply twist, in both cases, of course, opposite to the twist in the strands 10. In the strands 10 which have not yet plied there is Z twist upstream and S twist downstream of twisting means 14. Flying downstream in the area between guide 20 and point 24 is prevented by the action of the twisting device 14 which prevents the strands from untwisting. FIGS. 4, 5 and '6, illustrate the other half of the cycle and correspond respectively, to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. FIG. 4 shows the system just at the end of an interval of clockwise twisting, FIG. 5 shows the system early in an interval of counterclockwise twisting, when plying has just begun, and FIG. 6 shows the system in the middle of an interval of counterclockwise twisting, when plying action has been completed. In FIG. 5 N3 represents the new node formed upon reversal of twisting from clockwise to counterclockwise, and in FIG. 6 24" identifies the new point where plying upstream of node N3 stops until the direction of twisting is again reversed. The distance from the point within twisting means 14 where twist is applied to the first downstream snubbing point (take-up rolls 22) should be less than one times the distance between nodes. This is to assure that, when direction of twist is reversed, the node produced by the previous reversal will have passed beyond the downstream snubbing point. Also, the distance from the convergence point (e.g., guide 20) to the first downstream snubbing point must be greater than A: times the distance between nodes, in order to assure that the end (24, 24' or 24" in FIGS. 1-6) of the previous ply section is still in the plying zone at the time plying begins. Otherwise, the plying action will be stopped before it reaches the end of the previous ply. Due to a self-curing action, any non-plied section will tend to equilibrate beyond rolls 22, but the section so cured will have a lower twist level. It will be apparent from the above description that the improved process operates intermittently, or batchwise. A batch can be considered as the plied yarn produced as a result of one complete interval of twisting in a given direction. It includes one ply node, one section of S ply and one section of Z ply. FIG. 9 shows three batches, A, B, and C, which can be related to FIGS. 1-6. Batch A had already been produced in FIG. 1. FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 show production of batch B, and FIGS. 4, 5, and 6 show production of batch C. As shown in FIG. 9, the plied yarn is made up of alternating zones of opposite twist. In the method of this invention, half of a given zone is produced in one batch, the other half in the preceding or succeeding batch. In the previous discussions, the schematic diagrams and the explanations are idealized for clarity and understanding. It should be understood however that in actual operation, there may be variations from these idealized diagrams. For example, while it is useful in understanding the way this invention operates to think in terms of definite points 24, 24', and 24", it should be recognized that the twist on the upstream side of a node from a previous batch may back up toward guide 20. Also, while it is apparent that at some time in the operation twist in the strands 10 upstream of twisting means 14 will be zero, this does not necessarily occur just at the instant that the node is at the position indicated in FIGS. 2 and 5. Other variations occur and the invention should not be limited to the idealized explanation. For comparison, FIG. 7 illustrates the system and the method of operation employed in the prior art. Nip rolls 16 act not only to converge the strands but also to block the twist inserted in the strands by false twisting means 14. Thus the strands 10, having been twisted in one direction by twisting means 14, are free to begin untwisting by rotation in the opposite direction as soon as they pass snubbing and converging means 16. As a result the strands are plied continuously (except of course where nodes in strands 10 correspond or where twists in adjacent strands 10 are opposite in direction and substantially the same in magnitude) as they leave rolls 16. In the prior art mode of operation, therefore, the twist profile of the plied yarn is determined by the twist levels in the individual strands as they pass snubbing point 16. In the improved method of this invention ply twist profile depends upon factors other than twist level in the individual strands, and can be controlled, for example by constraining the strands in the plying zone sufliciently to slow down their rate of untwisting. FIG. 10 illustrates the type of twist profile which can be obtained if the strands are not constrained in the plying zone. As the curve indicates, the twist level rises rapidly to a maximum on one side of a node but rises gradually on the other side. The reason for this will be apparent from FIGS. 2 and 5; when plying begins the distance downstream from a node (N2 or N3) to the terminus of a previously plied section (24 or 24') is much greater than the distance from the node upstream to the point of convergence 20. Rotation of the node results in the same number of ply turns being inserted upstream and downstream of the node. Since the upstream distance for plying is less than the downstream distance initially, the twist level (t.p.i.) inserted immediately upstream must be greater. Another factor which contributes to the production of this type of profile is the high twist level in the strands just upstream of a node, which results from reinforcement of twist in the strands just downstream of the twisting means 14 immediately following reversal of the twisting direction. FIG. 11 illustrates the type of twist profile which can be obtained by constraining the strands, and thereby slowing the plying action. Slowing the plying action provides time for the node (N2 or N3 in FIG. 2 or 5) to move downstream before a large number of ply turns have been inserted. Another factor affecting the node length and the slope of the initial portion of the twist profile is the manner in which the twisting action is stopped and reversed. To have short nodes and high slopes it is necessary to maintain the twisting force at its maximum level as long as possible before reversing and have it achieve its maximum level rapidly in the opposite direction after reversal. Mechanical twisting devices are capable of doing this, but air jets as described in British 1,047,503 are preferred because they permit twisting at higher yarn speeds. With air jets fast-acting valves, e.g., a solenoid rather than rotary valves, should be used in the air supply lines to reverse direction of twisting to obtain short nodes and high slopes of the twist profile curves. FIG. 8 shows a preferred apparatus arrangement for obtaining a 3-ply carpet yarn having a twist profile similar to that illustrated in FIG. 11. Individual strands 10 which may be, e.g., continuous multifilament synthetic yarns, are fed through tensioning devices (not shown) which assure a uniform tension on the strands, around rolls 12, and through tubes 30. Tubes 30 prevent the strands from contacting and plying upstream of twisting means 14. The yarns then pass through twister 14 where the yarns are twisted separately, alternately in opposite directions, and in phase. Each twisting means 14 is a pair of air jets positioned next to each other; one jet twists the yarn in clockwise direction, the other twists the yarn in counterclockwise direction. A short distance downstream of twister 14 is confining tube 32 which serves to converge the strands and to constrain them sufliciently to slow the plying action. The plying action takes place within the tube 32 just as described for FIGS. 1-6. Downstream of the tube the plied yarn passes over snubbing roll 22, then around guide roll 26, thence to take-up rolls 28, and finally to wind-up. Arrows in FIG. 8 indicate direction of yarn travel. In a specifically preferred embodiment, which is cited for illustration only, strands 10 are multifilament crimped polyhexamethyleneadipamide yarn of 1300 denier each. Tension on the strands is 0.06 g.p.d., maintained by tension devices (not shown) upstream from snubbing rolls 12. Yarn speed is 350 yards per minute. Tubes 30 are 9 inches long and inch in diameter. Tube 32 is 24 inches long and in diameter. Distance from rolls 12 to twister 14 is 35 inches, distance from twister 14 to lower end of tube 32 is 3 inches, and distance from lower end of tube 32 to snub roll 22 is 32 inches. Air pressure to the torque jets 14 is 61 p.s.i.g. and the direction of twist is reversed 4 times per second. The resulting plied yarn has a node interval of 52.5 inches, an average node length of 1.8 inches, an average twist of 1.7 t.p.i., an average maximum twist of 2.3 t.p.i., and a uniformity index of 1.3. Shape of the twist profile curve is similar to the curve of FIG. 11. Node interval is the distance between two nodes in the plied yarn; maximum twist is the maximum twist level, in turns per inch (t.p.i.), encountered in an S or Z section, and average maximum twist is the average of the maximum twist levels in a representative number of S and Z sections; and uniformity index is the ratio of average maximum twist to average twist, where average twist is the absolute numerical average of twist per unit length, taken over a representative length of yarn (several node intervals), regardless of twist direction. A plied carpet yarn having a uniformity index between about 1.1 and 1.6 will provide a relatively uniform carpet, in the sense that there will not be areas of obviously much higher ply twist than others. Such yarns are generally preferred for carpets. However, for novelty effects in carpets, yarns having a uniformity index of about 2.5 or even higher and a twist profile similar to that illustrated in FIG. 10 are useful. An advantage of this invention is that it enables production of good quality alternate twist plied yarns with long node intervals, e.g. in excess of 30 inches. While the invention has been illustrated in connection with the production of plied carpet yarn from three 1300 denier continuous multifilament nylon strands, it will be apparent that the invention is applicable to the production of yarns of both synthetic and natural origin and of both filament and staple variety, as well as yarns of a wide range of deniers. The denier of the individual strands may vary from or less to 4000 or above. The number of strands plied also can be varied, e.g. 2 or 4 or more can be plied if desired. Also, yarns for other end uses, e.g. upholstery yarns, may be prepared by the improved process. I claim: 1. In the method for making alternate-twist plied yarn which involves applying false twist alternately in opposite directions along the length of at least one of a plurality of parallel, separated, running strands so as to produce in the strand or strands alternating zones of opposite twist separated by nodes of zero twist, converging the strands, and permitting the twisted strand or strands to partially untwist, the improvement which comprises converging the strands, without snubbing, immediately downstream of the twisting point, and snubbing at a point downstream of the twisting point a distance less than the distance between nodes and downstream of the convergence point a distance greater than /2 the distance between nodes whereby plying occurs intermittently in the zone between the convergence point and snubbing point as a node, produced at the twisting point upon the reversal of the direction of twist, moves through the plying zone. 2. Method of claim 1 wherein the twisting is applied to all strands in phase, the strands are converged in phase, and the direction of twisting is reversed at equal intervals, whereby the nodes in the plied yarn correspond to the nodes in the strands and the node intervals are constant. 3. Method of claim 2 comprising the further improve ment of constraining the strands in the plying zone sufficiently to slow down, but not prevent, untwisting and plying of the strands, whereby a plied yarn having a uniformity index in the range 1.1 to 1.6 is produced. 4. Method of claim 2 wherein the rate of yarn travel and rate of reversal of direction of twisting are such as to provide a node interval greater than 30 inches.

Own a piece of Bay View High history
My book on Milwaukee's old schoolhouses, which is due next week, isn't even out yet and thanks to Facebook and my blogs here, folks already associate me with old schools.
Witness the Facebook message I got today from Ed Makowski, a recent Pfister Narrator and general man about town. It was a picture of a some blueprints and a note to get over to Clinton Street Antiques, 1110 S. 1st St., in Walker's Point.
The shop has a tabletop covered in copies of original architectural drawings, by Van Ryn and DeGelleke, of Bay View High School, constructed in 1922. Though they're copies (you can see creases and folds from the originals copied into these), they're pretty darn cool.
I spent a little time combing through, trying to find six great ones, since they're priced at $5 each or $20 for six. I amassed floor plans for the ground floor, first, second and third floors, and the attic and roof, as well as a couple that showed interior details like door frames, staircase railings and the like.
Then I realized, I have absolutely no place to hang these things that are each about four by three feet. So, I decided to pick just one. It wasn't easy but I settled on a general floor plan of the first floor, showing the auditorium, offices and some classrooms.
Had there been some exterior elevations I'd have snapped up those, but someone must have beaten me to it because there are only drawings of the interior and of structural elements.
Still I struggled a bit with my choice, wondering if I should have gone with a sheet of interior details. Certainly, some of you will say I should have just kept the $5 in my pocket.
You might be right, but I'm going to hang this baby up on the office wall next to a giant copy of Schnetzky and Liebert's plans for an 1893 addition at Maryland Avenue School. Who'll be laughing, then, my friends; who'll be laughing then?

You are not the only dork for BVHS mementos - I bought the original art sketch for a printer from an early 1960s BVHS Yearbook of an art deco divider page for the "Activities" section from the Museum of Wisconsin Art. It was more than $5. There are still 2 additional sketches available here but I got the best. Couldn't get all 3. http://www.wisconsinart.org/archives/search.aspx?q=Bay+View&type=artwork I may have to check out those blueprints :)

Tending bar can mean different things, based on the setting.

Milwaukee's Tammy Petoskey has worked at South Side saloons, but now she gets a different view from behind the bar at Wild Earth Cucina, the Italian restaurant in the Potawatomi Hotel and Casino.

The parent company of The Grounds Guys has awarded more than $1 million in discounts to military veterans who own a franchise through the VetFran program.
The Dwyer Group, a holding company for seven residential and commercial franchise service brands, has awarded more than $1 million in discounts to military veterans who own a franchise through the VetFran program.
Established after the Gulf War by the late Don Dwyer Sr., founder of The Dwyer Group, the VetFran Program gives U.S. military veterans a discount towards the purchase of a franchise. The Dwyer Group reintroduced the program after 9/11 and has since helped 186 men and women own their own business across their franchise brands, including The Grounds Guys.
"Don Dwyer truly had a million-dollar idea," said Dina Dwyer-Owens, chairwoman and CEO of The Dwyer Group. "Providing careers for veterans has been the best way to honor the men and women of our U.S. Armed Forces for the service they have given to our country. And my father would be very proud of the opportunities that have been created in our franchise family to help them transition to civilian life as business owners."
Understanding veterans' abilities and training to follow a system, The Dwyer Group recognized traits that could adapt to following a franchise system as well.
After originating the program, The Dwyer Group received the endorsement of VetFran from the International Franchise Association in Washington D.C., the world's largest advocacy group for franchising as a business format. Today, the IFA is the official sponsor of VetFran and now includes more than 400 franchisors that offer a financial incentive to veterans who wish to own their own business.
More than 1,500 veterans now own a franchise through the VetFran program.
The Dwyer Group has also expanded its resources to veterans through its Department of Veteran Entrepreneurship and the introduction of its complimentary P.A.V.E. [Program for Assisting Veteran Entrepreneurship] Program. Unique to The Dwyer Group, P.A.V.E. offers educational and financial resources to veterans and transitioning military who want to invest in a franchise, providing the tools they need to make informed decisions towards business ownership.
"We have become a leader in aligning with transitioning military personnel and current veterans to help them achieve their dreams and goals by being in business for themselves, but not by themselves," Dwyer-Owens said.

All these cables are rated for 100ohm +- 15 impedance, not sure if impedance mismatch is a problem if cat3 is 85ohm and cat6 is 115ohm.
If you are unconvinced, just move your modem directly to the punch-down, punch in a jack with your unit's wiring disconnected and see how much of an improvement you get from completely eliminating the wiring you want to replace.
This length of this segment is 50% of the total VDSL loop length to the DSLAM.
Doesn't that imply that he has tested, and there is some room for improvement?
- modem to closet is about 150ft, most people have 1x line, since i have 2x, there is some cross talk all the way to the modems- the other 150ft is alongside other peoples lines to DSLAM with major crosstalk, but i cannot change that.
Where on earth did you get 20% improvment? Replacing 150' of wiring is not going to get you measurable improvments. .
As for the cable, you want lower resistance, not higher, so look to get something that's 250ohm or higher.
you know that VDSL2 means people can be 200-300 feet away (modem to remote). so replacing 30-50% of the cable with a higher quality one and better shielding would make a difference.

Mars Global Surveyor finds Pharaoh carved in mountain.
Poster Handle
Post Content
Hey guys,
I think it looks like a Pharaoh also, not like anyone cares though...
What I do find extremely interesting that nobody has seemed to notice, or at least hasn't said anything about is, I reviews all the images in series from PIA10209.tif up to PIA10216.tif. 9, 10, and 11 are all of the same same cliff, which I personally doubt is only 39 feet tall. Regardless, in examining the 3 images, the image we are all questioning, ending in 10, is the smallest file size of the 3, with the next largest image being double the size. Image 9, in tiff format, is 44.8 megs, image 10 is 15.6 megs, and image 11 is 30.5 megs. This, in my mind, poses the question, why? Since it is highly unlikely the camera switched in to a lower resolution for the middle image, I, having a strong background in graphics and video production, can only conclude it was a side effect of the image manipulation process used to edit the image. Which then begs the question, why, if images 9 and 11 were left un-doctored, was the image in question modified prior to being posted on the official site? What was in it that was so important, it had to be modified prior to allowing the image out to the public?
These are not stitched images as in 12+, they are single frame stills, so what reason other than obfuscation of the truth could there be to manipulate the image in question?
So while some of you would deny the existence of other life forms even while you were strapped to a table with a probe up yer wazoo, I think it will be hard to deny the image was manipulated. Artifacts a side, of which there are many, an image half the size of the one before it, and 1/3rd the size of the very next image makes it suspect regardless of the already detected anomalies.
I also found that large rock with the flat bottom in the foreground about almost halfway between dead center and the left edge of the image suspect. It appears to me like the head of a dog dislodged from a statue and leaning on it's left ear with the face facing right. Almost like the top of a sphinx.. but that's just my own personal opinion and observation, the file sizes are fact.

McCann will visit Duralde on Tuesday with the hope of learning that he could begin playing catch by the end of this week. His desire to begin swinging a bat might have to wait another two weeks. But based on the way his shoulder feels, McCann is growing more excited about the upcoming arrival of Spring Training.
If McCann is in the lineup on Opening Day, he will be approximately two weeks ahead of the schedule that was projected when he underwent surgery. It has been assumed that the Braves' veteran catcher would miss the regular season's first two weeks and potentially all of April.
But McCann is not ready to make any assumptions as he prepares for what could be his final season in his hometown. The 28-year-old catcher simply wants to make the most of the season and distance himself from the disappointment of last year's injury-plagued season.
Given that he is entering the final year of his contract, McCann has every reason to remain cautious and take all of the necessary steps to increase the likelihood to remain healthy and productive throughout the year. But as the past two seasons have confirmed, McCann would rather play through pain than to selfishly protect his future by remaining on the bench.
Before suffering an oblique strain on July 26, 2011, McCann's career numbers included a .291 batting average and a .853 OPS. While hitting .219 with a .684 OPS in the 158 games that have followed, he has potentially influenced the payday that awaits him on the free-agent market at the end of the season.
But as he hit a career-low .230 with 20 home runs -- nine in July -- and a .698 OPS, McCann did not provide excuses or look for the easy escape. When it was mentioned in early August that he could undergo season-ending surgery and guarantee that he would be ready for the start of the 2013 season, McCann said his responsibility was to continue playing and attempting to help the Braves win.
McCann entered the 2012 season excited about the opportunity to make up for the struggles he experienced after returning too soon from the oblique strain he suffered in late July 2011. But it did not take him long to realize that his right shoulder wasn't right.
When McCann had trouble lifting weights before the 2009 season, he received a cortisone shot that allowed him to play through the next three seasons without pain in his shoulder. But there was no way for him to mask the pain and continue being successful as he went through last season knowing that his right shoulder would pop in and out of place if he had to reach across the plate or adjust to an offspeed pitch.
Given time to evaluate what he has experienced during the past two seasons, McCann believes it is time for him to benefit from the disappointments and prove that his productive days are far from over.

OK. I am a fledgling Pinup Girl. I've only recently found this wonderful world of fabulous style, although I guess I've been circling on the outskirts of it for years...
I am 5'2" & curvier, especially in the thighs and ass region. My legs are a little extra-short.
I have dreamed for years--for my whole adult life--of wearing real stockings and a garter belt. I don't know...it just seems like it would be AWESOME. But I always felt like it wouldn't work with my fat little legs...
So the big work Xmas party is coming up...I'm going to try to make this dream come true. I bought a Rago garter belt (6 garters) which has a little girdle ability. It pulls on, no hooks. I also got some "practice" stockings. They are Leg Ave, lace top, stretchy.
Results of my trial run...the garter belt seems to fit, but when I move it keeps trying to roll up on me. The stockings are perhaps even more of a problem...they're maybe too long or too stretchy...or maybe they're just crappy...or maybe it's my thighs...but the tops won't stay flat and smooth.
Do I have the wrong gear? Can any of you nice ladies recommend good stockings for someone of my size/shape? Or are stockings really just for skinny girls?
Thank you very much!!!!!
Often when things roll up it's because you need to go up a size. Many Rago items are quite good as far as going up a size and not losing too much of the compression ability. I'm not currently aware of anyone who does petite stockings, but several places have stockings for curvier thighs. I have thick thighs and can't stand thigh bulge or rolling, so I get larger sizes. You may be able to find something at Isabella Hosiery , The Stocking Store , Secrets In Lace or Hips & Curves .
thank you! I thought I did size up on the garter belt, but perhaps not enough. I also only tried on 1 stocking. Maybe with both stockings on, the garter belt will stay in place better...I don't know...but thank you for the awesome links...
You're welcome. :)
Because of the shape of my body, I can't wear regular garter belts unless they are meant to be worn right at the waist. Everything I wear wants to move to the waist indent, and items that are not shaped for my figure will roll up. By the way, Brabarella has lots of Rago to choose from, MUCH cheaper than most places, as well as a decent selection of stockings. Most of the items are shown on real world women.
This is a really good topic, I've actually been thinking of picking up a garter belt from What Katie Did and was wondering how it would sit on me and if it would move or shift throughout the day and if that's just considered normal.
I'm not a skinny gal either Heidi so these answers will be helpful for me too :)
Yes--there must be a way for zaftig girls to wear sexy underwear. We're going to figure this out.
Oww... try George! Just started a discussion on stockings last night in the "Corsets, Girdles and more" group where I talk about them :) check it out..http://www.pinupgirlstyle.com/group/corsets-girdles-and-more/forum/...
thank you! Checking out the George stockings now... :)
I love the George stockings! The things actually stay up. So, of course, every Walmart in my area got rid of them. And if they're available online, I haven't been able to find them. I've had some decent luck with Berkshire, but I keep hoping I'll find the George stockings again.
That sucks:( The Walmart's around my area had them for years now. Hope they never get rid of them because they're fucking awesome! Have you checked Amazon?
I've scoured the internet :( It's a Walmart exclusive brand, so it's pretty much available only at Walmart. But not on their website. It's a crappy situation, because I also get 10% off at Walmart.
Yeah I shop on their website from time to time, and noticed that. Although I did see some other Walmart exclusive brands on Amazon before, like Mainstays (home décor) and lingerie like Smart & Sexy. Ok technically Smart & Sexy have their own site, but I have yet to see that brand sold elsewhere. As for the George stockings, depending on which Walmart I go to, they range from $4.00 - $5.50 a pair.

OpinionHello? Is this Israel calling? If Israel calls to tell me they will bomb my house, what should I take with me as I run for my life? 29 Jul 2014 11:59 GMT | Israel Over 200,000 Palestinians have been displaced in Gaza since the start of the Israeli assault [Reuters]About the Author Ziad Bakri ZiadBakri is a Palestinian living in the Gaza Strip. He is a translator, blogger and teacher. He blogs at: ziadbgaza.blogspot.com/ @ZiadBGaza Story highlightsThey say that a person's life passes in front of his eyes when he is about to die. It was different for me. My whole life passed in front of my eyes while I was standing in front of a ringing phone. Is it "the call"? Is it our turn? Since the start of the Israeli offensive, anyone in Gaza at any time can receive a call from the Israelis telling them that they must leave their house because it will be bombed in less than five minutes. That is, if they are lucky! Those who are not do not receive a warning and get killed. Seconds turned into years. I gathered every bit of strength I had in my body and picked up the phone. ItThey say that a person's life passes in front of his eyes when he is about to die. It was different for me. My whole life passed in front of my eyes while I was standing in front of a ringing phone. Is it the call? Is it our turn? Since the start of the Israeli offensive, anyone in Gaza at any time can receive a call from the Israelis telling them that they must leave their house because it will be bombed in less than five minutes. That is, if they are lucky! Those who are not lucky do not receive a warning and get killed. Live Box 20147813544572927 Seconds turned into years. I gathered every bit of strength I had in my body and picked up the phone. It was my aunt from outside Gaza checking on us after she heard that a location near our home was bombed. It is funny the amount of knowledge our beloved ones outside Gaza have. They've put their lives on hold to follow the war on TV and the internet. They know the names of streets, of buildings, of martyrs. "Was it that close?" she asked me. "No," I answered. "But you sound as if you have seen a ghost?" "It is ok, aunt. It is just that a bad thought passed through my mind before I picked up the phone." I sat by myself and started thinking seriously: What if it really happens? How would I react? What should I do? Unconsciously, I started breathing heavily, with anxiety. The first person who came to my mind was my mom. How could she, an old, overweight woman, suffering from heart and blood pressure problems, run down from the fourth floor and reach the street in time? My thoughts wandered further. What should I take with me? Of course my certificates, passport and ID. While I was getting my certificates out of the drawer, I saw my university bachelor's degree certificate. I still remember how proud I was when I got home that day holding my certificate. I studied for years in order to get it. I looked around and saw a portrait of me hanging on the wall. It was given to me by my students who gave me a wonderful surprise party for my birthday. I remember promising them that this portrait will hang in my room and it will never go down. Should I take those letters and pictures or should I leave them to be buried under a house that history will forget? Shujayea: Massacre at Dawn Hours passed and I was moving from one memory to another. Which item should I take, or in other words, which memory in this house is more important than the other? Which part of ziad, of my soul, should I take? A sentence that I heard the day before hit me. I was watching footage from the massacre in Al Shujayea. Some 60,000 people left their houses and ran for their lives. While people were running in the street, a man said: "It is the same as the Nakba in 1948." It has been the fate of Palestinians in the past 66 years to evacuate their homes constantly, leaving behind their property, their land, their history. Will Shujayea people ever be able to go back to their homes? Or will they be left with only memories of what they called home? I talked once to a woman who still had the key to the house she left during the Nakba. I was thinking to myself, "Is she serious? Does she think that even if she were to return, she would be able to open the front door with the same key?" I did not know back then that the key was all she had to remember her house by; it was the soul of a home lost forever. Now, it is my turn to decide which item would be my "key" to keep for years as a memento of what I called home. They say that when you are running from Israeli bombs, you are in panic and you only think of your own safety. What if this happens to me, what if while running out, I see one of our neighbours' children, who play all the time in the hall between our apartments, lying on the ground and in need of help? Will I be so afraid that I will leave these angels behind? I was overwhelmed by all these thoughts. I got dizzy. It could have been the Ramadan fast. Muslims wait for Ramadan from one year to the next to do their best to be closer to God, to visit each other and to help the needy ones. Our Ramadan passed under shelling and bombing, and in constant prayer that we and our loved ones be safe. I was so overwhelmed by everything that was going on in my head that I forgot the main reason behind these terrible thoughts, the main reason that made me think that the phone call might be "the one". It was the sad story I had just heard about my friend. She got married two years ago to a very nice guy, and as any newlywed couple, they did not have their own house, so they lived with his family. Both of them worked really hard to save up for a house. I remember how excited she was about her new home. She used to tell me about every little detail: the tiles, the furniture, the colours, the walls. I used to tell her that it is just a home, not a castle, but her answer would always be "But it is not any home, it is my home. In this home I will write the story of my life with my husband and children." After two years, the house was ready for them to move in. She was the happiest person in the whole world; her voice changed, her face did too. She was ready to start her life in the new home. This happened two weeks before the war. Live Box 201471372913612636 When the Israelis started bombing us, they left their home for a safer place. During the last ceasefire she went back only to find out that her house was levelled to the ground. "The only thing that survived was my son's toy," she said in a broken voice. What hurts me the most is that Gaza's story is always told in terms of numbers: "50 people died, 100 buildings were destroyed". These people had names, stories, dreams, families, ambitions, futures and most importantly - history. These buildings were people's homes, they were places of safety and security, of hard work and relaxation, of memories and family histories. Will we live to see the day when the sanctity of Palestinian homes and lives is respected? Ziad Bakri is a Palestinian living in the Gaza Strip. He is a translator, blogger and teacher.

Delicious! Will be making this again - and again ...
Absolutely delicious!
Absolutely delicious and the children thought so also!
This was divine! The quince glaze really makes it. I discovered I actually like parsnips too.
Neanderthal husband was unhappy with the lack of potatoes - but the recipe itself is easy and the sauce was lovely - and having not eaten parsnips for a long time it was like rediscovering an old friend.
