NBA Injury News
Last updated 11/11/14
Although Kyrie Irving's knee continues to bother him, the team is not planning to sit him. Despite prior reports that said the Cleveland Cavaliers would likely sit Irving if the knee continued to give the young point guard trouble, that doesn't seem to be accurate.According to Brian Windhorst of ESPN, a source close to the Cavaliers have said they have no plans of sitting Irving. It would be understandable that the team may consider it, but there may have been a miscommunication between Irving and his coach Byron Scott about the severity of the knee problem. This miscommunication led Scott to say the club would shut him down if necessary. Irving is one of the most exciting and dynamic young players in the NBA. There aren't many who don't believe he will be a superstar going forward. Irving made his first All-Star Game this season, and he looks poised to take the role of "Best Point Guard" away from Chris Paul.In his career, Irving has averaged 20.8 points and 5.6 assists per game. So far this season, he is averaging 23.2 points and 5.7 assists per game.

Reparations for days
I'd believe you were that guy in the video before I'd believe you haven't seen Lottery Ticket, Big Mo….. and the guy in the video is black
with all of the technology we have these days i'm amazed that the lottery system hasn't figured out a way so that black people are only given losing tickets.
You can see this everyday at the welfare office.
His son would have to know him.
If I was that clerk I would've said "let me check if you won…we have the machine out back", carjacked the nearest vehicle, well, you know the rest.
nice, so you, would, steal a car and have a piece of paper with ink, on it. good work.
hey fooliest, some guys tried that. didn't work.
That brother will be in the poor house in 3 years.
if i won the powerball i would put half the money towards mo's salary for a job called "director of shutting the fuck up"
Ended up being jealous rage.

New study will develop new methods to identify mums at risk of stillbirth
13 Jun 2014
A Manchester researcher has received £1.14 million to develop pioneering new methods to identify those at risk of stillbirth, a devastating tragedy which sees approximately 4,000 babies stillborn every year in the UK.
Dr Alex Heazell, Senior Clinical Lecturer in Obstetrics at Saint Mary's Hospital and The University of Manchester has been awarded the funding by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) as part of a five year Clinician Scientist Fellowship. With this funding Dr Heazell hopes to develop a test which reliably identifies babies at risk of stillbirth.
The UK is currently ranked 33rd for stillbirth rates out of 35 high-income countries. Even with statistics like this, researchers still know relatively little as to why some women will have a stillborn child. This means Dr Heazell and his colleagues' research is vital, to find out new information around risk factors which could help future pregnant women and their families.
The funding will allow Dr Heazell and his team to analyse results from all studies that measure how well the placenta works. From this work they will be able to identify which tests of the placenta best identify infants at risk of stillbirth, by comparing those who had an additional placental test compared to those who did not.
"We hope the results of this research will identify which indicators of placental dysfunction are the most reliable in predicting poor pregnancy outcome in women who are at risk of stillbirth," said Dr Heazell.
"By using these indicators we can then assess whether delivery, depending on the results, improves pregnancy outcome. Through this we hope to provide Obstetricians with proven indicators to help identify those pregnancies at risk of stillbirth so that babies can be born safely."
Dr Heazell is also Clinical Director of the Tommy's Maternal and Fetal Health Research Centre, based at Saint Mary's, which is one of three Centres in the UK funded by Tommy's the baby charity. The aim of the Centre is to understand the causes of stillbirth, develop new diagnositic tools, identify babies at risk and prevent stillbirths, and develop national guidelines for health professionals. As part of the work underway at the Centre Dr Heazell and colleagues have set up the Rainbow Clinic, a specialist service for parents who have experienced a stillbirth in a previous pregnancy.
The clinic provides parents, such as Jennifer Iddon and her husband Mark, with intensive screening for complications in subsequent pregnancy and additional psychological support. Jennifer explains: "Being pregnant again, following the stillbirth of our son Alexander, in 2011, was an extremely stressful and anxious time. However, the monitoring, care and support received at the Rainbow Clinic was invaluable and made the pregnancy experience more bearable and our daughter Isabella was born at Saint Mary's on the 27th August 2013 as healthy and happy baby. The team at the clinic were extremely professional and caring and their passion for their work is evident."

Frontier Doc
Not-So-True True Grit
Hollywood's latest "tongue 'n' cheek" medical miracle.
- Written by Dr. Jim Kornberg
- Published November 08, 2011
Four riders surrounded the Texas Ranger, LaBoeuf (Matt Damon).
Suddenly, the horseman on the Ranger's left threw a lasso over his shoulders and quickly pulled the Ranger to the frozen ground, dragging him on his face and belly. All hell broke loose as Marshal "Rooster" Cogburn (Jeff Bridges) started firing his Winchester at the riders from his concealed position.
This classic scene in Joel and Ethan Coen's 2010 production of True Grit is one played over and over again in Westerns. As a modern doc, I have always wondered what real and hypothetical injuries could befall the unlucky cowboy caught up in such an unfortunate situation. If dragged at a gallop for minutes over rocky, uneven terrain, he could suffer terribly from severe fractures and head trauma, later to die of blood loss, stemming from internal injuries.
Not so in the current scenario. The Coens decided to portray LaBoeuf as being dragged only a short distance on his face while simultaneously sustaining a through and through left shoulder wound, possibly caused by an errant shot from Cogburn's rifle.
Basically ignoring the shoulder wound, at least, for the moment, Cogburn concentrated upon grabbing and repositioning the Ranger's mangled tongue that was "bit almost through." "Should I just yank it free?" Cogburn asked the suffering and bleeding Ranger, as he recounted the... Get instant access to subscriber content on TrueWestMagazine.com!

Wow, that's amazing!
Grant Collier
Shared publicly -Before coming to Alaska, I would have been jumping up and down if I got a shot like this of the northern lights. But I was spoiled and saw the lights every night I went out. So I'm somewhat on the fence about whether I should include this on my web site. This is four images stitched together. #NatureMonday #MultipleExposureMonday
10 comments
Yeah, Alaska is very beautiful place. I think that everybody should visit it. Very nice photo=)
Same here, Grant. I see them quite regularly and tend forget how fortunate I am. Beautiful photograph.
The rest of the world is not as jaded / blessed as you and will love this. Think of it from their perspective.
Wonderful shot! Thank you for sharing it with the rest of us that never have a chance to photograph something as beautiful as this.
Why not? It is bad ass! I would be jumping for joy over seeing this...let alone capturing. Awesome!
So very lovely +Grant Collier , would love to capture this myself:)
Gorgeous image!
A light rainbow! Awesome +Grant Collier
What a stunner, Grant! I know I'm late to the party, but I hope you decided to put it on your site. (I'm sorry for the delay but I haven't been on G+ in a while.)

Yesterday we told you how Kanye West borrowed the So Help Me God album art from a 2010 heavy metal album. We're not sure what significance it holds (illuminati?), but now it seems his new single also has an unusual genesis. "All Day" dropped yesterday afternoon and features not only Theophilus London and Allan Kingdom, but Paul McCartney on whistling duties. However, that's not Macca's only role in the song's creation. The final minute of the rap track bears a striking resemblance to one of Sir Paul's songs from 45 years ago.
Sam Smith + Ed Sheeran Win At The Brit Awards, Paul McCartney Will Headline Firefly Music Festival + More On Last Lap

Paul McCartney Brings Raw + Passionate Rendition Of "Maybe I'm Amazed" To SNL 40 Special
Paul McCartney was just one of the many megastars on hand to pay tribute to Saturday Night Live during its 40th anniversary television special. But the music legend was the first to perform a solo musical spot, delivering a raw but passionate rendition of "Maybe I'm Amazed."
Who Won These Epic Ballad Battles And Romantic Musical Duels?
Yesterday was Brandy Norwood's 35th birthday. We have to say, we're a little shocked. It feels like Brandy's been in the game so long she could have been 100. To celebrate, we're taking a look back at her musical duel with Monica, "The Boy Is Mine" and we're going to decide once and for all who won that fight. And it's not just Brandy vs Monica we're concerned with today. We're going head to head for Usher vs R. Kelly, Beyonce vs Shakira, Michael Jackson vs Paul McCartney and a host of other iconic romantic song battles. Want to know who came out on top? Check out our rankings after the jump. Read more…

The 10 Most Unexpected Paul McCartney Collaborations
Paul McCartney is one of the most iconic living musicians of all time. Whether you like him or not (and you like him, because who doesn't love Paul, the best Beatle?) there's absolutely no denying his cultural significance and immense musical talent, especially since his legacy is an ongoing one. That's right: Paul McCartney is by no means done making music or a cultural impact. To celebrate the legend, and the release of his new single with Rihanna and Kanye West, "FourFiveSeconds", we're looking back at the times Paul McCartney shocked us with curveball collaborations. From Carly Simon or his secret band The Fireman, to rocking out on stage with Jay-Z and Linkin Park, these are the most unexpected Paul McCartney alliances we've been blessed with.

Paul McCartney's tweet this morning packed a punch. Not only did he post the video to "FourFiveSeconds," which Rihanna teased on Instagram last night, he added that he'll be performing with RiRi and Kanye at the Grammys on Sunday.
Rihanna Drops Stripped Down New Song "FourFiveSeconds" Featuring Kanye West + Paul McCartney
It's here! Rihanna shared a sneak peek of her new music on Twitter tonight, and it's better than we could have imagined. New Riri tracks are always a reason to celebrate (especially after a too-long two years), but this track boasts appearances from both Kanye West AND Sir Paul McCartney! Thank you for making our wildest pop dreams come true, Rihanna…

As a hardworking Polish migrant in Britain, the thought of Nigel Farage sticking on the kettle at Number 10 is a terrifying thought. But, like the million viewers across the country who tuned in, we were forced to picture this distressing scenario during Channel 4's UKIP: The First 100 Days last Monday.
He admitted that he and other immigrants were taking our jobs, but said that they were shit jobs which no one else wanted. As if to prove his point, he ended up as a road sweeper. With undeniable clarity of thought and logic, he exclaimed that as long as he cleaned the streets, he should be able to sleep on them.
Even for a hardened news man in a hardened newsroom the mass shooting at the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo is a ferociously shocking moment. We know at least 12 are dead, five are critically wounded and others beside. And those numbers will doubtless change during the day. It happens at a very tender moment for European politics, at a tender moment for the Islamic world. Wracked with violence from northern Nigeria all the way to Pakistan by radical action and bloodletting.
Ultimately, the only things a comedy really needs are a good script, a good cast to perform it, a good crew to make it and the goodwill of the audience to take it to their hearts. If a writer thinks he has an idea that ticks all those boxes, he's entitled to give it a crack and it's absolutely crucial that he's allowed to try to break ground and boundaries.
Now there is a new series called The Sixties on DVD that was shown on CNN in America and Yesterday in the UK. The subjects are what you'd expect - the Cuban Missile Crisis, the assassination of JFK, the 'British Invasion' focussing on music, civil rights, Vietnam, the coming of age of television, the Space Race, and, of course sex, drugs and rock and roll.
If we are going to protect children from sexual abuse we must make sure that anyone who recognises they have a problem, and want help to make sure they don't harm a child, is supported in getting treatment. I don't think you can 'cure' someone of paedophilia but you can use therapy to help them control their urges.

Some Pros and Cons of PC gaming.
Stavros StevieGreek Dimou
on 09.05.2012
I became a PC gamer since my xbox360 died by itself with RROD for the 4th time back in 2008. I was always a console gamer,and for the most I was a Nintendo fan,up until the Wii which I disliked. Unfortunately I was stupid enough to buy a Xbox360 in its first year of launch and spend about 500+ Euros for its hardware alone, along with the accessories I got for it only to be left without a console to play 2 years later on,when the warranty ended. That made me so furious I wouldn't buy another xbox360. Wii couldn't fulfill my gaming desires and back then PS3 was still very expensive,and I also never liked that much SONY's exclusives. It just happened that in about that time I had bought a new PC,that was intended only for casual use,like web surfing,writing word documents etc. I wondered one day if my PC could play recent and modern games,so I made some research to see what modern games required to run on my computer. Surprised I realized that the only thing that my machine was missing to turn in to a decent console platform was a graphics card,and one at the price point of 100 Euros would be more than enough to allow me to play modern multiplatform games. So I decided to buy that card and turn my computer to a platform that could play modern games,for just 100.
Since then my primary gaming platform is PC,even though I bought a Wii since then.
I found out that PC gaming has many advantages over console gaming,as it also has some drawbacks. Most times when I see discussions in the internet about PC gaming and comparison,posters are one-sided no matter if they are PC gamers defending PC gaming,or Console gamers defending Console gaming. So I decided to write a blog noting some positive and negative sides of PC gaming,as I see them myself. There could be more prons and cons than those I present here,but these are what are most important to me.
1) Better Graphics
This is the most used point in a discussion regarding the prons of PC gaming,and not without a reason. It is true that most games look better on a PC than a console. That is because technology advances all the time,day by day,and is offered to the PC market as early as it's available for mass production. Graphics card manufacturers usually bring new models to the market every year,with new models being more powerful than old ones,while consoles update every 5-6 years. That make PCs to get access to new technology much faster,which results in the ability of PCs to play games with better graphics than consoles. And sure,graphics aren't all that matter,and I'll agree that gameplay is more important than graphics.But that doesn't mean that graphics have no value at all as some people seem to believe. I got a copy of Metro 2033 which is the most graphics heavy game on the market currently,but couldn't finish it because of its awkward controls and punishing gameplay. But I can still load up Super Mario Bros on an emulator and spend my time enjoying a good game.
But one finds it reasonable that as technology advances,games which are based on tech,advance too.
If FPSs where stuck at Wolfenstein 3D level of graphics detail,perhaps games like Halo or Half Life 2 wouldn't be enjoyable as they are. As a gamer I want the games I play to have the best quality not only gameplay,but also in graphics,sound,controls,replayability,and a lot more other aspects. PC offers me the ability to enjoy better graphics. While graphics aren't the most important thing to enjoy a game,they still are an important factor that affects the overall enjoyment I can take from a game.
It's nice that even multiplatform games that weren't designed to look better on a PC,can look better because of higher resolution options,and the ability the user has with the use of his graphic's card software to force things like Anti-aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering in to a game. Graphics aren't the only reason to play a game,but they can make a game more immersive and enjoyable if they are good.
2) Cheaper Games
This is one of the factors that comes to my mind most often,because it's coming every time I buy a game for my PC. Prices of console games are inflated because console publishers like Nintendo and Microsoft ask from software publishers a share from the sales of their games that they sell on their consoles. But that doesn't happen in the PC market,and thus us PC gamers can buy games somewhat cheaper than console gamers. I remember when my Xbox360 was working,games for it came out at price points from 60E up to 75E. In PC gaming most new games cost 40 euros, with the exception of few publishers like EA who for some reason demand more money for their games,so often they charge them for 50,or 55 euros. Average for every multiplatform game that I buy for my PC I save about 20 euros in comparison with a console gamer. That gave me the ability to be able to buy more games as a PC gamer than I would ever could as a console gamer. And just in the first year the money I saved by buying PC games already met the price I had paid for my Graphics Card. Since 2008 I probably have saved more than 300 Euros by playing multiplatform games on my PC.
3) Exclusives
That is mostly a matter of taste,but besides Nintendo's exclusives I don't like that much the exclusives of the other 2 consoles. Halo is good but I wouldn't buy another machine just for it. I never got in to Playstation exclusives,but I respect that they are quality games,just not for my taste.
But PC has exclusives too. In fact,the fact that there is no an authority that would decide which games get sold on PCs or not,allows many niche games to come out on this platform,that would never reach a console.
And PC has some nice exclusives,for many tastes. If you like MMOs,PC has a plenty of them and they are all exclusives. Yet I am not an MMO fan,and the exclusives I like are games like the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series,and Serious Sam 3. These games are considered too niche to be on consoles, yet I like them very much. S.T.A.L.K.E.R was the first series to feature an open-world,free roaming FPS gameplay,along with RPG elements and Horror/Survival atmosphere. It's a unique experience no other game of any franchise can deliver. Serious Sam 3 is the only recent FPS game that truly delivers classic FPS gameplay from the 90's. Duke Nukem Forever was nothing like that,it featured Health Regeneration,Weapon limits and other gameplay elements that are obviously from the new-school of FPSs,of the Halo/Call of Duty generation. I started playing FPSs in the 90s,and I loved that genre so much because of its gameplay,which is drastically different of how modern FPSs like Battlefield 3 play. I like healthpacks,brutally murdering monsters,and having large levels stuffed with secret areas and easter eggs to discover. But these aren't the only PC exclusives that are good. There are many PC only games out there,for almost every niche market and taste.
I can't even count the exclusive franchises that PC gas,unlike the console market where the exclusives of one console can be counted in the fingers of a person's hands.
4) Emulators
You know,my first console was an Atari 2600,and even though I had many consoles since then,there where always some good games for each console I had that I never got to play. Some of them where never shipped in my continent (Europe) others arrived too late on a console's life at the time most retailers had already removed games and hardware of said console from the selves to make room for newer consoles,so there where always some games I missed. Now I can play all those games that I missed on my computer,and at 1080p. It's like magic and I couldn't believe it when I realized that there are libraries of hundreds of console games from the early 80s up to more recent times that I could get the chance to play them,and that if it weren't for Emulators I would never be able to experience them at all.
5) Modding
Perhaps one of the most important prons of PC gaming,is the fact that the files and folders of a PC game are accessible for those who know how they can manipulate them. The modding community has done very much for the rest of us gamers,who doesn't know how to mod ourselves. Modding has many faces. It could be free new content that you download like new maps,guns,npcs,or missions/sidequests,and even new games running on the engine of another game. But it isn't only providing new content. Modding can also be used to alter how a game plays,without adding any other playable content. The recent case of the bad port of Dark Souls,and the unofficial fix is a great example. In the past PC gamers who happened to know also how to manipulate a game's files,also managed to fix games that where broken by making and supplying the community with unofficial patches that fixed problems the developers couldn't bother fixing. Knowing that there are people out there who like games enough to fix them or add to them,and are willing to do that for free,to share the experience of it,is something that makes me feel very comfortable as a PC gamer. I know that games that are fun but have some problems will get fixed,and that for some games I will get new content for free. That solidarity between PC gamers is a very nice thing.
6) Customization
And here comes another part of why I enjoy gaming on my PC more than gaming on consoles.
The fact that I'm given more options to customize my personal experience with the game is something very nice. Options and choices are nice. I can play a game with a keyboard and mouse,and not just a specific type of keyboard or mouse,but any.I'm not forced to use a specific input method like a specific console's controller. I can choose my mouse to have 3 buttons,5 buttons,or 10+ buttons,choose between the resolution of its laser sensor,and between anatomically designed mice for right-handed people or left-handed people. Or I can choose to play with a controller,and I can choose between many controller shapes and not just one. But it isn't only control customization,I can also customize my FOV in most games,the graphics,and many other aspects. Being able to customize your experience is nice.
7) It's still a PC
One shouldn't forget that a PC is still a PC with all the conveniences this holds. What I'm talking about is that at any time I can just press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and return to my Desktop screen,from where I can access my mail or Facebook account to see if somebody replied to me,or to look for a walkthrough if I got stuck somewhere. And then I can return to my game exactly where I left it,without having to turn it off to do the other things I wanted to do. That's something nice. When I played The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess I got stuck many times in some puzzles where I couldn't find the solution and got bored trying out. So to progress I had to pause the game,turn on my PC,and then look for a walkthrough in the internet. A process that gets tedious if you have to do it often. But if you are already playing a game on your PC,you can just press 3 buttons together on your keyboard and you will be magically teleported to a web browser window in 2 seconds. Having that convenience is very nice.
1) Could be Expensive to start playing on PC if you have a very old computer
If you already have a recent computer you bought just for doing general casual things,there are huge chances that the only thing you need to turn it to a decent gaming platform is a relatively cheap graphics card which costs way less than buying a new console. But if you don't have a computer at all,or it's a 10 year old machine that barely can run Google Chrome, it can be quite expensive to buy a new PC just for gaming. Buying a new PC just for gaming could be hard to justify its price. But if you already have a modern PC,which by modern I mean a PC that would have costed to you about 600E anywhere the last 3-4 years,most probably the only thing preventing you from playing multiplatform games with console graphics quality is a cheap graphics card. You don't have to buy one of those megabeast cards that cost 500 Euros or something. You can play a mutliplatform game with visual quality as an xbox360 but at 1080p,with a 60-80 Euros graphics card.
Cards like the AMD HD 7970 are for people who want to play games with way better graphics than those of current console games like Crysis,at ridiculously high multi-monitor resolutions like 7680x1440p.
2) Bad Ports
Since the current console generation started,most multiplatform developers started developing games for xbox360 and then porting these games to PS3 and PC. Often not much care is being invested on the PS3 and PC versions of the games,which leads to platform-specific problems. You might not hear that often PC gamers complaining about such problems as PS3 gamers,but that's not because developers love PC more than PS3. It's because most of the problems the PC versions of the games will be fixed (in time) by the PC community who has the ability to tinker with a game's files. But bad ports are still coming out. I'll never forget downloading the demo of Crysis 2 and seeing a "Press Start" message on the title screen in the PC version of the game,while I had no controller attached to my computer,and I had to try the 100+ keys of my keyboard one by one to find which keyboard button does the same job the xbox360' controller's start button does. Using's Skyrim's menus with a mouse and keyboard was a mess with its designed for xbox360 GUI design. Unfortunately most multiplatform games are made for xbox360 and not all developers care enough to apply required fixes for the other versions of their games. That can lead to many frustrations for us non-xbox360 gamers,including PC gamers and PS3 gamers.
3) Viruses and Save deletes
PCs can get viruses. And if you have an anti-virus software running on your computer,your computer will be too slow,no matter how much powerful hardware you have. For enjoying a nice gaming experience every frame that you can get per seconds matters. That's why I've been playing without an anti-virus program running on my computer. But not having an active anti-virus running puts you on risk. In the 4 years that I'm a PC gamer,I had to do emergency formats 3 times. And 3 times I lost many of my saves from my hard disc. There are occasions where you have a format planned,and you have the time and means to backup your saves,but there can also be emergency situations where a format is immediately required,and you can't backup. I've lost my saves of Oblivon where I had hundreds of hours in them. I've lost my saves of Crysis,and many other games. Something like that could give you a reason to play through some of these games once more,and it could be an unorthodox way to gain replay value for a game,but for games that are HUGE and have many choices like Oblivion and the Mass Effect series,loosing your saves can be a disaster.
4) Upgrading (arguable)
A cons that I often see some people talking about is having to upgrade your computer very frequently to be able to play new games. That is mostly something a console gamer would say though. You see,it's true that as time passes by some games have new cool graphics enhancements that require more power. But to be honest upgrading was never a real problem for me. You see most of the AAA games are ports,and most ports aren't enhanced,so they don't really need much more powerful hardware to run them. You can play Skyrim with a 5 year old graphics card for that matter. There are though games that do have enhanced graphics like Battlefield 3.
The thing is,that graphics enhancements are optional. I can choose to play Battlefield 3 on Ultra,but I can also choose to play it on Very Low. Sure,a game that makes use of the latest hardware needs the latest hardware so you can play it with the best possible graphics,but it's not necessary to play a game with its best possible graphics. I can't play Battlefield 3 at Ultra at 1080p with all things like AA at 16x,but I can play it at Very High settings at 1080p with AA at 2x,and the game still looks awesome,and far better than its console versions. The key word here is choice. Graphics are customizeable and thus better graphics are optional. If you don't want or can't play the latest game with the best possible graphics,you don't have to,you can play it with less good graphics.

The fabulous Peking International Youth Hostel is your home from home in Beijing. The hostel is in a fantastic location in the middle of Beijing's most colourful Hutong district, just a few blocks north of the Forbidden City and east of Houhai and Qianhai Lakes.
Peking International Youth Hostel offers a huge choice of rooms including budget dorms, double rooms and luxury rooms. The dorms are large and spacious, with quality bunks and excellent bathrooms. Guests can dine in the lobby and enjoy a cocktail in the bar, or have afternoon tea on the terrace lounge, overlooking the Beijing Botanical Garden.
This is the perfect spot for exploring all that Beijing has to offer. Peking International Youth Hostel also offers a tour to the Great Wall of China (hiking from Jinshanlin to Simata) and provides airport transfers.
What travellers think
The architecture is great: hostel is located in a traditional hutong building, and my provate room was nice. Reception staff is also very nice. Anyway, prices are high, breakfast is just soso and it takes ages to be prepared. Moreover, it is forbidden to stay in the hall night-time cause the nightguard wanna sleep peacefully... incredible! Last but not least, wi-fi worked very bad, almost impossible to be used. Overall, I will not suggest to stay in this place.

How to Keep a Charmeuse Dress From Wrinkling
Though low-quality charmeuse is often made from cotton or rayon, the real thing is made from pure silk. Silk wrinkles easily, but charmeuse is, fortunately, the most wrinkle-resistant member of the silk family. Still, you may need to take a bit of care to avoid getting wrinkles in the first place. And since it is impossible to avoid wrinkles completely, it is good to know how to remove them from charmeuse when they do appear. Simply put, there is no magic solution: Wrinkles are avoided when clothing is properly washed, dried, stored and packed. It's that simple
Instructions- Remove your charmeuse clothing from the washing machine as soon as possible, Allowing clothes to sit in the bottom of the machine after the spin cycle causes wrinkles and makes any that were already there worse. If you choose to hand wash your charmeuse dress, don't wring it out. Press the garment between two clean towels to remove excess water
- Unclump and shake out silk charmeuse items before placing them into a clothes dryer or hanging them to dry. Don't overfill the dryer as this forces the clothes together and makes them crease
- Consider putting one or two tennis balls in your dryer when drying washable silk and charmeuse. Tennis balls bounce into the clothes in the dryer and separate them as they dry to prevent bunching and wrinkling. Be aware that the tennis balls will make the dryer louder but will cut drying time
- Take your clothing out of the dryer and hang it up while the fabric is still slightly damp. Just like clothes that sit in the washing machine, clothes left in the dryer will wrinkle
- Store charmeuse clothing in a closet with plenty of room. Stuffing too many clothes into a closet bunches them up and creates creases
- Place the dress in a garment bag if packing for a trip. If a garment bag will be to unwieldy or ineffective, such as when traveling by plane, pack the dress into a suitcase after rolling it. To roll the dress, lay it flat, fold the sleeves in so they form an "X" and roll the dress carefully from the bottom up
- If you do have wrinkles, press the charmeuse by applying the iron to the dull side of the fabric. (This is the back side.) Keep the iron on a low setting and consider placing a towel over the dress and ironing over it rather than directly on the fabric

John Joseph Evers (July 21, 1881 – March 28, 1947) was an American professional baseball second baseman and manager. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1902 through 1917 for the Chicago Cubs, Boston Braves, and Philadelphia Phillies. He also appeared in one game apiece for the Chicago White Sox and Braves while coaching them in 1922 and 1929, respectively.
Evers was born in Troy, New York. After playing for the local minor league baseball team for one season, Frank Selee, manager of the Cubs, purchased Evers's contract and soon made him his starting second baseman. Evers helped lead the Cubs to four National League pennants, including two World Series championships. The Cubs traded Evers to the Braves in 1914; that season, Evers led the Braves to victory in the World Series, and was named the league's Most Valuable Player. Evers continued to play for the Braves and Phillies through 1917. He then became a coach, scout, manager, and general manager in his later career.
Known as one of the smartest ballplayers in MLB, Evers also had a surly temper that he took out on umpires. Evers was a part of a great double-play combination with Joe Tinker and Frank Chance, which was immortalized as "Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance" in the poem "Baseball's Sad Lexicon". Evers was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee in 1946.
Evers was born on July 21, 1881, in Troy, New York.[1] His father worked as a saloon keeper. Many of Evers' relatives, including his father, brothers, and uncles, played baseball.[2] Evers attended St. Joseph's Elementary School and played sandlot ball in Troy.[2][3]
Evers made his professional debut in minor league baseball for the Troy Trojans of the Class-B New York State League in 1902 as a shortstop. Evers reportedly weighed less than 100 pounds (45 kg), and opposing fans thought he was a part of a comedic act.[1] Evers reportedly weighed no more than 130 pounds (59 kg) during his career.[4]
Evers batted .285 and led the New York State League with 10 home runs.[1] Frank Selee, manager of the Chicago Cubs, scouted Evers' teammate, Alex Hardy. Selee, also looking for a second baseman due to an injury to starter Bobby Lowe,[5] purchased Hardy's and Evers's contracts for $1,500 ($40,887 in current dollar terms); the Trojans were willing to sell Evers's services due to his temper and many errors made in the field.[1]
Evers made his MLB debut with the Cubs on September 1 at shortstop, as Selee moved Joe Tinker from shortstop to third base.[1] Only three players in the National League (NL) were younger than Evers: Jim St. Vrain, Jimmy Sebring, and Lave Winham.[6] Three days later, Selee returned Tinker to shortstop and assigned Evers to second base.[1] In his month-long tryout with the Cubs, Evers batted .222 without recording an extra-base hit and played inconsistent defense.[1] However, Lowe's injury did not properly heal by spring training in 1903, allowing Evers to win the starting job for the 1903 season.[1] Lowe recovered during the 1903 season, but Evers' strong play made Lowe expendable; Evers finished third in the NL in fielding percentage among second basemen (.937), and finished fifth in assists (245) and putouts (306).[7] The Cubs sold Lowe to the Pittsburgh Pirates after the season.[8] Evers played 152 games in the 1904 season.[1] Defensively, his 518 assists and 381 putouts led the NL, though his 54 errors led all NL second basemen.[9]
During the 1906 season, Evers finished fifth in the NL with 49 stolen bases,[10] and led the league with 344 putouts and led all second basemen with 44 errors.[11] The Cubs won the NL pennant in 1906, but lost the 1906 World Series to the Chicago White Sox four games to two; Evers batted 3-for-20 (.150) in the series.[12] During the 1907 season, Evers led the NL with 500 assists.[13] The Cubs repeated as NL champions in 1907, and won the 1907 World Series over the Detroit Tigers, four games to none, as Evers batted 7-for-20 (.350).[14]
During the 1908 pennant race, Evers alerted the umpires to Fred Merkle's baserunning error in a game against the New York Giants, which became known as "Merkle's Boner". Al Bridwell hit what appeared to be the game-winning single for the Giants, while Merkle, the baserunner on first base, went to the clubhouse without touching second base. Evers called for the ball, and the umpire ruled Merkle out.[1] NL president Harry Pulliam ruled the game a tie, with a makeup to be played. The Cubs won the makeup game, thereby winning the pennant.[1][5][8] The Cubs then won the 1908 World Series over Detroit, four games to one, as Evers again batted 7-for-20 (.350).[15] For the 1908 season, Evers had a .300 batting average, good for fifth in the NL, and a .402 on-base percentage, second only to Honus Wagner.[16]
Evers drew 108 walks during the 1910 season, trailing only Miller Huggins.[17] However, Evers missed the end of the season with a broken leg.[18] Without Evers, the Cubs won the NL pennant, but lost the 1910 World Series to the Philadelphia Athletics, four games to one.[19] Evers agreed to manage the Navy Midshipmen, a college baseball team, in 1911, despite the opposition of Cubs' manager Frank Chance.[20] He experienced a nervous breakdown in 1911; returning to the Cubs later in the season, he played in only 46 games that year.[1][21] Evers indicated that this was a result of a business deal that cost Evers most of his savings.[1] Evers rebounded to bat .341 in 1912, good for fourth in the NL,[22] and he led the NL with a .431 on-base percentage.[1] Team owner Charles W. Murphy named Evers manager in 1913, signing him to a five-year contract, succeeding Chance.[1]
After the 1913 season, Evers was offered $100,000 ($2,386,195 in current dollar terms) to jump to the Federal League, but he opted to take less money to remain with the Cubs.[23] In February 1914, after Evers signed his players to contracts, Murphy fired Evers as manager and traded him to the Boston Braves for Bill Sweeney and Hub Perdue.[23] Murphy insisted that Evers had resigned as manager, which Evers denied. Evers insisted he was a free agent,[24] but the league assigned him to the Braves.[23] He signed a four-year contract at $10,000 per season ($235,449 in current dollar terms), with a $20,000 signing bonus.[25]
During the 1914 season, the Braves fell into last place of the eight-team NL by July 4. However, the Braves came back from last place in the last ten weeks of the season to win the NL pennant.[4] Evers' .976 fielding percentage led all NL second basemen.[26] The Braves defeated the Philadelphia Athletics in the 1914 World Series, four games to none,[27] as Evers batted 7-for-16 (.438).[28] Evers won the Chalmers Award, the forerunner of the modern-day Most Valuable Player award, ahead of teammate Rabbit Maranville.[1][29]
Evers was limited in 1915 by injuries, and also served suspension for arguing with umpires.[1] After a poor season in 1916, Evers began the 1917 season with a .193 batting average.[1] Due to Evers' declining performance, the Braves placed Evers on waivers at mid-season, and he was claimed by the Philadelphia Phillies.[1] Evers rejected an offer to become manager of the Jersey City Skeeters of the International League that offseason.[30] He signed with the Boston Red Sox as a player-coach for the 1918 season,[31] but was released without playing a game for them.[30] Not receiving another offer from an MLB team, Evers traveled to Paris as a member of the Knights of Columbus to promote baseball in France.[32]
Evers joined the New York Giants during the 1920 season, serving as a coach.[33] He managed the Cubs again in 1921, succeeding Fred Mitchell. With the team struggling, Evers was fired in August and replaced with Bill Killefer.[34] The Cubs finished seventh out of eight in the NL that season.[4]
Evers served as a coach for the Chicago White Sox in 1922 and 1923.[4] He returned to second base in 1922, filling in for an injured Eddie Collins. Evers played in one game for the White Sox as Collins recovered.[35]
Evers was named the White Sox acting manager for the 1924 season, succeeding Chance, who was ordered home due to poor health.[3] However, Evers suffered from appendicitis during the season, missing time during the year,[5] and the White Sox opened up a managerial search when Chance died in September.[36] The White Sox replaced Evers with Collins after the season.[37]
Evers rejoined the Braves as a scout.[4] As Braves owner Emil Fuchs sold manager Rogers Hornsby to the Cubs and assumed managerial duties himself for the 1929 season, Fuchs hired Evers as a coach. Fuchs had no experience as a field manager,[38] and so Evers became captain of the Braves, directing the team during the game and dealing with umpires.[39] Evers and fellow coach Hank Gowdy played in one game in the 1929 season, coming into the bottom of the ninth inning on October 6, 1929.[40] In the process, Evers became the oldest player in the league for the year.[41]
Evers remained a coach for the Braves under Bill McKechnie, who succeeded Fuchs as field manager in 1930, and served in the role through 1932. He continued to scout for the Braves,[42] and then became general manager of the Albany Senators of the New York-Pennsylvania League in 1935.[43][44] He resigned from Albany at the end of the season.[45] Over his managerial career, he posted a 180–192 record.
Evers married Helen Fitzgibbons.[46] His son, John J. Evers, Jr., served as a Lieutenant in World War II, assigned to the Pacific Theater of Operations.[47] When his son was 11 years old, Evers bought part of the Albany Senators and gave him the stock.[48] Evers' brother, Joe Evers, and uncle, Tom Evers, also played in MLB.[1] His great-nephew is Sports Illustrated writer Tim Layden.[49]
Though Evers and Tinker were part of one of the most successful double-play combinations in baseball history, the two despised each other off of the field.[1] They went several years without speaking to each other after one argument.[50] When Chance once named Tinker the smartest ballplayer he knew, Evers took it as a personal affront.[51]
Evers operated a sporting goods store in Albany, New York in 1923. However, Evers lost his money and filed for bankruptcy in 1936.[52][53] The store was passed down to Evers' descendants.[54] He also worked as superintendent of Bleecker Stadium in Albany[55][56] and spent time teaching baseball to sandlot players.[57]
Evers suffered a stroke in August 1942, which paralyzed the right side of his body.[58][59] He remained bedridden or confined to a wheelchair for most of the next five years.[60] Evers died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1947 at St. Peter's Hospital in Albany.[1][58]
Evers retired in 1918, having batted .300 or higher twice in his career, stolen 324 bases and scored 919 runs. He frequently argued with umpires and received numerous suspensions during his career.[61] His combative play and fights with umpires earned him the nickname "The Human Crab".[55]
Evers served as the pivot man in the "Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance" double-play combination, which inspired the classic baseball poem "Baseball's Sad Lexicon", written by New York Evening Mail newspaper columnist Franklin Pierce Adams in July 1910.[62] Evers, Tinker, and Chance were all inducted in the Hall of Fame in the same year.[63]
The Merkle play remains one of the most famous in baseball history. The ball used in the Merkle play was sold at an auction in the 1990s for $27,500, making it one of the four most valuable baseballs based on purchase price.[64] Evers' role in Merkle's boner cemented his legacy as a smart ballplayer.
Evers is mentioned in the poem "Line-Up for Yesterday" by Ogden Nash:

Phoenix one of best cities to sell home
A new report from ZipRealty Inc. shows Phoenix is the 11th-best city in the nation to sell a home.
ZipRealty based its report on the list-to-close-price ratio, which was 98.2 percent in Phoenix. The best seller's market is in San Francisco, which had a 102.5 percent ratio.
The report also shows homes in Phoenix spent a median 25 days on the market last year, a 42 percent drop from 43 days in 2011.
The study doesn't surprise Michael Orr, director for the W.P Carey School of Business' Real Estate Center.
"The market is extremely unbalanced at the moment so it's much easier to sell your home than to buy one because we have low inventory," Orr said.
According to Arizona State University's housing report earlier this month, there were 12,623 Valley home listings on the Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service on Jan. 1, down 6 percent from a year earlier. With the decreasing number of homes for sale and a surge in buyers, Orr said it's a perfect combination for sellers.

Re: Russell Street community mock draft
Apologies, can someone take over the Bills for me?
Sorry again!
Re: Russell Street community mock draft
With the tenth pick, of the 2013 NFL draft, the Tennessee Titans select, Johnthan Banks (6'2, 185 lbs), Corner back, Mississippi State.
The Titans haven't been the same defensive unit since losing Finnegan, so they get a big shutdown corner this time around. The Titans have holes in a lot of different positions, but this is probably where I'd go since corner back is such an important position in today's NFL.
Ctulb sent in his pick via pm....
With the eleventh pick, of the 2013 NFL draft, the San Diego Chargers select, Chance Warmack(6'3, 320 lbs), Offensive guard, Alabama.
San Diego had issues all over their offensive line this season, and will need to upgrade it if they ever want Rivers to replicate his elite status of play.

Re: Russell Street community mock draft
I love the Warmack pick for the Chargers. Instead of reaching for Lane Johnson they go out and get a fantastic prospect at Guard. I watch a lot of SEC games and Chance Warmack is the real deal. My LSU team really struggled against him the past 2 years. That dude is a monster and plays as hard as Yanda. I think he's going to be a great pro.

Great, got Warmack! Really wanted to go Tackle but didnt think there was value here once Fisher came off the board. First priority for the new Chargers management (well, ok, me) is finding out how much Rivers has left in the tank, and to do that they need to improve the O-line. Both starting guards will hit free agency, so this pick helps address that too. Plus the guy looks pretty damn beastly.
Thanks leach for turning the card in."Flacco stepping up and throwing deep down the far sideline... CAUGHT!!! Into the endzone, TOUCHDOWN JACOBY JONES!!!!!"
Re: Russell Street community mock draft
I agree, Warmack has a lot of Yanda in him. Great pick, and its probably who I would have gone with too.

Pantera- "Revolution Is My Name" LyricsArtist: Wrestling LyricsAlbum: Xtreme Pro Wrestling And the Seventies, a breath after the war Life was confusing because of my age Should my eyes open for tomorrow's gains? I can't help the way I am There's no trust and there's no end What is my name? (Chorus) It will never change So here it stays Forever is my name From now on, can't look the other way Keep in mind and listen to what I say Take under wing all the ones who are lost Build up around them an infinite wall Don't you know just who I am? Take the hand of wisdom's friend What is my name? (Chorus) It's time to change It can't stay the same Revolution is my name It will never change So here it stays Forever is my name What is my name? (x4) Forever... What is my name? (x4) Revolution... (2nd Chorus)
