Vikings Supporter Says Stadium Deal Could Be Now Or Never
There's bound to be some in Minnesota outside of the twin cities who wonder why the state is getting involved in a funding deal for a new Vikings stadium in Minneapolis. But Cory Merrifield, founder of the website Save-the-Vikes.org says three million fans who tune in for every Vikings game on Sunday around the state know how important the team is to the state. And if a deal isn't done soon, it could be curtains for the storied franchise in Minnesota
[ cory merrifield 7 is unavailable ]
Current deal for the stadium would mix additional gambling revenue with money from Minneapolis and several hundred million dollars from Vikings owners. The new stadium would be built close to where the Metrodome is now.
New Provost At UW-L
A Minnesota native who currently lives in England will return to the Midwest to become Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. Heidi Slettedahl Macpherson, who currently serves as Pro Vice Chancellor of Research and Innovation at De Montfort University in Leicester, England, will begin her new UW-L position effective July 1st. Macpherson says her 22-year experience overseas will help her transition into her role at UW-L, where she's already taken note of an emphasis on academics. Macpherson was selected from an international search. She follows former Provost Kathleen Enz Finken, who resigned in December to become provost at Cal Poly University.
Minnesota Budget Works
(AP) Gov. Mark Dayton says he'll try to pare back an overseas corporate tax break to finance a tax credit he wants for Minnesota companies that hire veterans, students or the currently unemployed. The tax break-for-tax break swap is the cornerstone of a supplemental budget he released Monday. It contains roughly $60 million in changes to a multibillion-dollar budget. Other features include reversing some health program cuts made a year ago. Lawmakers set the state's two-year budget last year and technically don't have to adjust it. Dayton's proposal hinges on the reduction of a tax preference for Minnesota businesses with overseas operations or subsidiaries. The change would generate $40 million if enacted this year. Republicans have long resisted the corporate tax change, arguing it would be a hardship on businesses.
Right To Work Brings Out Demonstrators
(AP) Many hundreds of union members are demonstrating outside a state Capitol hearing room as a Senate committee weighs making Minnesota a ``right to work'' state. Supporters of the Republican-sponsored measure want an amendment on November's statewide ballot. It would ask voters whether Minnesota's Constitution should be amended to make private and public union membership voluntary.
Demonstrators surrounded the hearing room and filled overflow areas Monday morning. They loudly chanted while amendment backers testified. Under current law, employees in union-represented workplaces not in the union still pay a ``fair share'' fee of up to 85 percent of normal dues. Amendment backers say that's not fair. They say the amendment would improve Minnesota's business climate. But union backers say those workers still benefit from the wages, benefits and conditions bargained by unions.
Busy Week At The Capitol
(AP) The state Assembly is expected to sign off on a bill this week that would create a wolf hunt in Wisconsin. The Assembly is set to take up the measure during a floor session Tuesday, but it's unclear when the vote may happen. The two-year legislative session ends on Thursday and majority Republicans have placed dozens of bills on Tuesday's calendar. They'll likely work through Tuesday night into Wednesday. The wolf hunt vote might not come until early Wednesday morning or even later. The Senate approved the measure last week. Assembly approval would send the bill to Gov. Scott Walker for his signature. The governor hasn't committed to the bill. Walker's spokesman says the governor will evaluate the measure when it reaches his desk.

How Will Fiat's Strength Push Chrysler to the Top
Just recently Sergio Marchionne, who is the CEO of both Fiat and Chrysler, announced the final acquisition of the remainder of Chrysler. Fiat already owned 58.5% of Chrysler and an agreement was recently reached to purchase the remainder for $4.35 billion. What does this mean for both Fiat and Chrysler?
What this means is Chrysler is on the rise and fast. In the fourth quarter alone, Chrysler recorded an increase in profits of $659 million without the tax break they were granted which is valued at $962 million brining their actual quarterly profits to $1.62 billion, an increase in more than $1 billion in profits. Couple this with the manufacturing advancements Fiat has put in place and Chrysler is going to own the market and fast. [Read more…]

If you've got spring cleaning on the brain, you may be looking for some new organizational solutions (aren't we all?). Here's a quick and easy sewing project to help the cause — fabric bins! These little containers are perfect for holding odds and ends, from bathroom clutter to craft-room supplies.
I'll show you how to make the medium-sized bin pictured here, but once you get the hang of the construction, you'll see how easy it is to make any sized container you need. I've made mine from oilcloth, which is stiff enough to hold the bin's shape, and as an added bonus, it can be wiped clean. There are just a couple of tricks you need to know about sewing oilcloth, and we'll get to those below. Let's hop to it! — Brett Bara
CLICK HERE for the full how-to after the jump!
- 1/2 yard oilcloth or another stiff fabric (this adorable sunglasses print is by Echino)
- 1/2 yard cotton fabric for lining (my lining fabric is from Ikea)
- paper clips
- straight pins
- scissors
- sewing machine
- iron and ironing board
1. Cut the fabric:
To make a bin with a finished size of 5″ x 9″ x 5″, you will need to cut the following pieces:
- short end pieces: 7.5″ x 6″ (cut 2 from exterior fabric + 2 from lining fabric)
- side pieces: 7.5″ x 10″ (cut 2 from exterior fabric + 2 from lining fabric)
- bottom piece: 6″ x 10″ (cut 1 from exterior fabric + 1 from lining fabric)
Or, for a different finished size, cut your pieces to any size you prefer, adding 1/2″ to all sides for seam allowance.
2. Sew the lining:
Place a short end piece and a side piece together with right sides facing, and pin together along the 7/5″ edge. Place the last pin 1/2″ from the bottom edge.
Sew the seam with a 1/2″ seam allowance, stopping 1/2″ before the bottom edge (at the spot where you placed the pin), leaving the last 1/2″ unsewn.
Continue to sew all four side pieces together in the same way, forming a tube. Press all the seams open.
Image above: Detail of the 1/2″ left unsewn at the bottom of each seam.
Next, pin one side of the bottom piece to the bottom of one side of the fabric tube, aligning the corners. Pin in place.
Fold the 1/2″ unsewn flap of the adjoining piece out of the way when you reach each corner.
Continue to attach all four sides of the bottom piece. When finished, this is what you'll have!
Trim the seam allowance to about 1/4″ from all three sides of each corner. (This will help reduce bulk from excess fabric at the corners.)
Finally, fold the top raw edge under 1/2″ and press. Set aside the lining for now.
3. Sew the exterior:
Okay, oilcloth time. Here's what you need to know:
- Sewing on the wrong side of oilcloth is just like sewing regular fabric. Sew it just like you would anything else.
- Sewing on the right side of oilcloth is tricky because it's sticky, and it won't feed through the sewing machine normally. To work around this, simply place strips of tissue paper over the surface of the oilcloth while you sew. (More on that below.)
- Finally, never iron oilcloth, as it can melt. Instead, "press" seams or folds by creasing them with a bone folder or the back of a spoon.
To construct the exterior, sew it the same way you did the lining. Join the four side pieces together as you did for the lining, remembering to leave 1/2″ unsewn at the bottom of each seam. Then attach the bottom as you did before. Finally, fold under the top raw edge — but do not iron it; instead, crease the fold with a bone folder or the back of a spoon.
When finished, the exterior and lining will be the same shape and size.
4. Join the lining and exterior:
With the exterior right-side out and the lining wrong-side out, place the lining inside the exterior. Align all the corner seams, then use paper clips to hold the two pieces together at the top edge.
Cut several strips of tissue paper about 2″ wide. Any tissue paper will work — I'm using the gift wrapping kind.
Place the strips of tissue paper over the right side of the oilcloth, aligning the edge of the paper with the edge of the fabric. Paperclip in place, clipping all layers together — the lining, the exterior and the tissue paper.
Then simply sew through all the layers. Sew all the way around the top edge of the piece, about 1/8″ from the folded top edge.
Then just tear away the tissue paper. If small bits of paper get trapped under the stitches, gently pull them out with tweezers.
Fold down the top edge of the bin about 1″, fill it with odds and ends and you're done!
Here's to a well-organized spring!
this is what I'm looking for…thanks, Grace!
Brett's posts are always the ones I look forward to most! I love these great, simplistic, and easy to understand ideas!
I love this project. Will definitely find time to make this especially as I have a 'thing' for oilcloth! thank you
so so so cute. can't wait to make this!
super cute!! I recently saw some gorgeous Japanese oilcloth fabrics at Purl Soho: http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/item/6378
Very cool – I haven't worked with oil cloth before – although I've always wanted a lunch bag made of it, I love the look. I assume I could pick some up at my local fabric store? Thanks for the great post! Dianne
I have that same pin cushion, however my mom's cat ate all the hair off of the people…
really cute. I wish my sewing machine wasn't broken!
New sewer here – what function does the tissue paper serve?
This looks great. Just wondering though, what is the purpose of the tissue paper? So that the sewing machine doesn't mark the oil cloth?
The sticky oilcloth will keep your machine's feed dogs from moving the fabric through the sewing machine at a steady rate — the tissue paper will help you get a good glide and nice, even stitches.
Thanks D*S! So cute!!!
Perfect idea for spring organizing! This would work really well with canvas, too. Thanks!
very cute project, and a good tutorial with great step by step pics. I'd probably take a few backstitches when you sew the sides to within a half inch of the end of the seam….that way you are sure the seam is secure and wont ever come "un- sewn".
Can you make both the inside and the outside out of oil cloth? This would work great form my bathroom, but there is no ventilation, so I would rathe not use the cloth inside piece.
Oh my goodness – I need about 100 of these! What a great project – thanks. :)
I love this idea! It would make a nice container for a collection of small gifts, instead of a basket. Thanks!
super cute! i want to try this weekend! I am already thinking this could be a a great christmas gift to co-workers!
Very cute! I need a few of these! Thanks! :)
I love that echino print is so chic but you lost me at sew. :) maybe some fabric adhesive will do the trick?
I love the sewing 101 posts. Keep em coming!!
Love this idea and will definitely have to make one (or many). Excellent pictures and intructions! Quick question: when attaching the bottom to the fabric lining should you pin the entire bottom to all four sides and sew them all at once, or pin and sew each side separately, one side at a time? I think the latter but I'm not sure?? Maybe I missed this – if so my apologies! :) And thank you!
This is sooo cute. This really makes me wish I could sew. ;(
This is adorable and practical for so many things. The fabric is too cute, going to find some now. Thanks for the great tutorial.
I am looking for companies with cool modern printed oil cloth. Encino and Purl, although good, are limited. Anyone else know where to look?
Robin: I'd recommend pinning and sewing each side of the bottom separately, which should help to keep things as neat as possible.
Peggy: B&J Fabrics (http://www.bandjfabrics.com/servlet/StoreFront) laminates some of their fabrics to make them like oil cloth. I think they *might* offer a service to laminate other fabrics but I could be wrong about that. Worth checking though to see what they offer. Good luck!
Tina: yep, you could definitely make the inside and outside from oilcloth!
Is it better to use a certain needle on your sewing machine for this? (heavy fabric needle) or is the standard needle sufficient?
Heat 'N Bond makes an iron- on flexible vinyl so you can "laminate" almost any kind of fabric yourself. I've used it with great success. Find it at large fabric stores like JoAnn's.
Yay!! I have a stack of oilcloth that was getting neglected!! So happy that I have a project for this!
Can't wait to make this! Such a cute & clever idea!
Fab tute! I was never convinced that fabric boxes worked as they are too floppy and often can't be fussed with the faff of interfacing. I have a small stash of oilcloth and never thought to use that! I will now!
Fantastic. I am in love with handmade storage boxes at the moment. If only we had better access to nice quality oilcloth here in Australia.
another great tutorial. thank you! will definitely try this.
I am a total oilcloth addict, so this is wonderful to see! I'll be trying out the tissue paper method and sharing it (with links to this great tut) on my Oilcloth Addict Blog ASAP!
Thanks for the oilcloth love!
Pam… you don't need a special needle when working with oilcloth. Just use a brand new one so it's nice and sharp.
Thank you for the fantastic project. I have made several oilcloth journals and now they will be easier to make with your sewing tips.
I love this fabric — where can you buy it? Such a great idea!
Cute! I have that same pattern in pink that I used to make some thrown pillows!
This is such a great idea! Sturdy and useful as well as stylish! Love the fabric choices.
Super cute, I can't wait to try this pattern out. But why tissue paper? I'e never sewn oilcloth before & I'm guessing it has something to do with that… ?
Thank you so much. I was just thinking of purchasing some of these. Now I'm going to try to make them for myself and what a great baby gift filled with baby supplies!
Love the idea! If anyone is looking for similar inspiration, check out this video for How to Make a Fabric Storage Box:
Happy Sewing!
Fabric bins may be a great solution to getting rid of those unwanted clutters around the house. Thank you for showing the process of making a fabric bin step by step.
Perfect for my craft stall at the Church fete this summer, Thank you very much.
These are my favorite posts! These are by far the best sewing tutorials I have found on the web. Any chance of doing one for a dust ruffle/bed skirt? All the tutorials I find look so complicated, but that is what I really need!
I also love this fabric. You can buy it at http://www.mondaysmilk.nl (some fabrics on sale!!)
Man, I thought I might get away with making a slightly larger bin out of laminated cotton. It was a big fail (too floppy)! I might have to add some stabilizer to the cotton. Thanks for this tutorial, though! It was SUPER easy! I just wish oil cloth were more readily available in more modern prints.
This is great; thanks! I'd never thought of something like this. I'm making a lunch bag right now but will use this "how to" many times to get my sewing room more organized.
fabric.com has a great selection of oilcloth, BTW
Tissue paper is one way to prevent your presser foot from sticking to the oil cloth. But if you find the little leftover bits of tissue to be annoying, try using a Teflon presser foot. Don't have one? No worries! Just put a piece of matte scotch tape on the bottom of your normal presser foot. (Be sure to cut a hole for the needle to travel through.)
My spouse and I stumbled over here by a different website
and thought I should check things out. I like what
I see so now i'm following you. Look forward to checking out your web page for a second time.
Thank you for this pattern , quiet lovely.

Santa Fe HotelsThe former Spanish colony of Santa Fe still has a strong European influence, from the lightly colored architecture with terracotta roofed homes, to the grand churches. Surrounded by dramatic mountain landscapes on one side, and vast areas of rocky desert on the other, it's long been a peaceful retreat for artists and creative types, and it's a very popular spot for hikers with challenging trails. Santa Fe also has a lively cultural scene, with this unique city making a perfect backdrop for arts festivals, live music, and colorful fiestas. Things to seeThe New Mexico Museum of Art has a traditional sandy stone exterior, with perfect examples of Spanish Colonial features. Step inside and you'll find contemporary galleries with plenty of space for Mexican, Native American, and European artworks, as well as exhibits from local artists. If you want to learn more about art, there are lectures and events at the attached St. Francis Auditorium, which looks like a church with its saintly murals and wooden pews, and there's often live classical and world music to be enjoyed in this unique venue. The Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi is a classic example of Spanish style churches, and boasts grand arches, delicate mosaics, and stained glass windows that give it a traditional look. New Mexico is a laid back and unpretentious place to enjoy winter sports, and the Pajarito Ski Mountain offers affordable skiing adventures without the crowds. There are 40 trails, from beginner to expert levels, and Nordic skiing tracks where you can take in the spectacular mountain scenery as you glide along. Hotels in Santa FeSanta Fe has an excellent selection of accommodation, including hotels with mountain views, and secluded ranches where you can be pampered and enjoy this peaceful spot. Many Santa Fe hotels have full service spas, health clubs, and outdoor pools, where you can enjoy the ultimate relaxing vacation, and there are also essentials such as free WiFi, free parking, and continental breakfasts. You'll often find rooms that have balconies and terraces so you can enjoy the view, and those who are here to enjoy the outdoors will enjoy ski storage facilities, with fireplaces and turndown services when you get back. Where to staySanta Fe Plaza is at the heart of downtown, and this historic square has a park with a stage where live music is performed. When it's time for a fiesta, this is often the busiest place in town, making for a great meeting place to mingle. Just off the plaza you'll find many small, arty shops selling locally made goods such as pottery, paintings, and dreamcatchers, all with a distinctly New Mexico style. Downtown is a lively and stylish area, with a laid back, bohemian vibe thanks to the large number of artists who live here. You'll find a large number of restaurants, especially those serving Mexican and European inspired cuisine, and many boutiques with unique clothes and home items made by hand. How to get to Santa FeSanta Fe Municipal Airport has connections to Dallas, Los Angeles, and Denver, and this small airport is just 20 minutes southwest of the city. There are rental cars and taxis to get you downtown quickly, as well as private shuttles which can be booked in advance. Many travelers choose to arrive via the larger Albuquerque International Sunport, which has flights arriving from across the USA, and from here you can take the local bus to downtown Albuquerque's train station, then take the New Mexico Rail Runner to Santa Fe, with the journey taking just over 2 hours.

The dealer says the speed sensor needs to be replaced. The engine stalled out once. The check engine light comes on. Is it the torque converter?

1999 Audi A8 Question: Should I have the speed sensor replaced?
Best Answer
dandd April 17, 2009, 14:29Master
The speed sensor is the engine rpm sensor. It tracks how fast the engine is turning over and sends this info to the computer. If it is defective, your car will stall or run rough not even start It is a common issue on Audi.
Answer #2spyder April 18, 2009, 02:23Journeyman
Sporadic faults with the engine speed sensor are not uncommon and will usually set a fault code , though the check engine light may not illuminate.
They are also suspect when all else fails with intermittent no starts/stalling issues.
Your torque converter may be an issue if your transmission fluid level is low since insufficient fluid will allow the lock up clutch in the torque converter to apply when braking to a stop , stalling the engine.

riders are the most stylish of all dirt bike racers – or at least they should be! Ask any racer out there, even the ones who look the most natural and fluid on the track, and I bet most of them would say the coolest thing to do is a whip. Everyone can put their own personal touch on a whip, but before you can customize, you've got to have the basic skills down. We had the joy of watching former 125 SX champion and regular MotoUSA professional test rider, Damon Huffman, effortlessly toss the rear end of a Yamaha during a photo shoot at the
2011 Yamaha YZ450F First Ride
. He threw them off of a step-up with a seat bounce, standing up and one-legged, so we asked him to break it down for us - nice and simple - so our unstylish little journalist brains can understand.
If you're a cool cat who's got it figured out, just enjoy the pretty pictures. If not, take some notes from this old pro during his day at
Racetown 395
. You can get personal tutoring from Huff Daddy with during one of his motocross lessons. Check out his website,
, for more information.
Step 1 - Setup
How to whip...
Step 1 -
This particular jump is right out of a corner, so making a clean turn is important. When exiting the corner you need to start looking ahead. You want to see the face of the jump and make sure you're hitting a clean line. This is only the first step, so it's important to come out of the corner smooth and in control.
Step 2 - Lean in
Step 2 -
Now I'm on the face of the jump. This particular jump is a step-up that kind of turns a bit. I have selected a clean line away from ruts, and I'm beginning to lean with the bike on the takeoff. You can see that I'm on the balls of my feet and my weight is leaning forward. This is a good balanced position to ensure a nose-down landing which is essential. Leaning on the takeoff is where it all starts for a smooth rhythm to the whip.
Step 3 - Relax
Step 3 -
Once airborne, my weight continues to fall to the inside and my bike begins to float out. You want to let the rear of the bike come around a bit. This is a learned sensation that takes time to get comfortable with, so start out slowly and build up to this.
Step 4 - Countersteer
Step 4 -
Here I'm pretty much at the apex of the jump. I'm nice and level, but soon my front end will be dropping. I have the bars turned out a little, steering into the whip. The rear of the bike is still coming around and I'm spotting my landing already.
Step 5 - Spot landing
Step 5 -
I am coming down nose-first with the bars a little straighter now. I have clearly spotted my landing and the bike is beginning to straighten up. The size and the takeoff of the jump, really dictate how much you can whip it on a particular jump. Here I did just a smooth, flowing whip. This is what you should work on first in learning how to whip.
Step 6 - Touch down
Step 6 -
My front end has touched down, although the rear is still kicked out a bit, I have the bars turned in the direction that I'm traveling. This is very important to ensure a smooth roll out on your landing. I have both feet planted on the pegs and my knees are in to help support the landing. I'm also touching down at the top of the jump just on the down side. It is crucial, when whipping to clear the jump perfectly.
Step 7 - Roll out
Step 7 -
I have made a clean whip with a smooth landing. I'm now traveling perfectly straight, am in total control and able to sit down, relax and ride it out. The landing is important, so again, start out slow and build up to a full whip. Start by finding a jump that you're comfortable with and start to experiment by leaning off the face a little. This will be the start of whipping it for you.

Kevin -I remember when...
November 30, 2010 11:44 AM
...cross-ups were the big thing. Everyone was trying to get their bike flat like Roger DeCoster, with that front wheel pointed up at the sky!
SG -Need More Info...

So, as your front wheel begins to drop, does the bike naturally begin right itself AND does the rear wheel come back into alignment with your direction of travel? Or, does the rider have to add some "body english" to get the bike back upright with wheels aligned (at least more so) for the landing?

So I'm about to leave town for 4-5 days for Thanksgiving, and it's going to get quite cold (for this part of GA) while I'm gone, low 20's almost every night. I planted some Windsor Broad Beans in a raised bed a few weeks ago, and on average they're about 3-5 inches tall now. I know fava beans thrive in cold weather, but can seedlings that young and small handle such cold weather with likely freezing? I have a plastic cover I've been putting over them on cold nights, but I don't know if leaving it on all night and day while I'm gone would do more harm than good. Any thoughts?
I actually ended up using a bale of hay my wife had been using for fall decoration. I spread it over the whole bed at least 6 inches deep, so even though they won't get much sun, it's only for 4-5 days and they should get some insulation from the freezing temps without getting baked during the day. I'll post about how they end up doing once we get back.

RENTON — Since signing with the Seahawks in March, Stephen Schilling has focused on the task at hand — making the team.
So when the news finally arrived about the Seahawks' decision, the former Bellevue High star decided it could wait until he was done with the task at hand — attending the movie "Guardians of the Galaxy" with his wife, Katie.
"It was almost over, anyway," he said. "Only 20 minutes left."
When those 20 minutes ended Friday, Schilling raced outside and called his agent, who told him he had made the initial 53-man regular-season roster for his hometown team.

- Ivar's to raise restaurant workers' wages to $15 right away
- Opening day roster looks pretty clear after Sunday cuts

"I was pretty excited," he said.
It was hardly a slam dunk as Seattle kept nine offensive linemen and cut two who at points in camp might have seemed to have a better chance at sticking than Schilling — veteran tackle Eric Winston and guard Caylin Hauptmann, the latter of whom was on Seattle's 53-man roster much of last season.
Schilling thinks the fact that he showed he could play both guard and center helped cement his role. He played some center last year for the Chargers — who did not tender him an offer after last season — but said he had never played center in an extended manner. Seattle has Max Unger and Lemuel Jeanpierre as its top two centers, but teams always are looking for extra depth up front.
"It just helped my chances,'' he said. "If you are going to be a backup, you have to be able to play more than one position. At least be able to go in there and play."
• Receiver Percy Harvin, who missed practices last Tuesday and Wednesday for what the team said were personal reasons, and then was among 10 players who did not travel to Oakland for the final exhibition game, was back on the practice field Sunday and fully participated in all drills. With the Seahawks hosting Green Bay on Thursday, the workout resembled a usual Wednesday practice, typically one of the more critical of the week.
• Seattle signed eight players to its 10-man practice squad — the other two will come later. Included is running back Demitrius Bronson of Kentwood High. Others are: TE RaShaun Allen, QB B.J. Daniels, T Nate Isles, WR Chris Matthews, S Terrance Parks, DT Jimmy Staten and S Steven Terrell.
• Former Seattle quarterback Matt Flynn made Green Bay's 53-man roster and will be the backup quarterback this week behind Aaron Rodgers.
• Also on Green Bay's roster is cornerback Demetri Goodson, a one-time point guard at Gonzaga who then transferred to Baylor to play football and was taken in the sixth round by the Packers in this year's draft. Goodson has a concussion and it's unclear when he will return.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Report: Justin Upton blocks trade to Seattle Mariners
So maybe the Arizona Diamondbacks are shopping Justin Upton after all?
According to a report by FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal and Jon Morosi, the D-backs (for now) right fielder blocked a trade that would have sent him to the Seattle Mariners.
Seattle is on the list of teams Upton can veto a trade to.
The D-Backs would have received a package of young talent from the Mariners, sources say, but the identity of the other players in the trade is not known.
Upton's rejection of the Mariners could be an attempt by him to leverage the Diamondbacks into sending him to a more preferred destination. The D-Backs, meanwhile, could be telling Upton that Seattle is his only option if he wants to leave Arizona, and for that reason it's always possible that a deal could revive.
Though Upton has been on the trade block for the better part of the last three years, this would seem to be the first time a deal was struck that would have sent him out of Arizona.
The 25-year-old Upton is coming off a season in which he hit .280 with 17 home runs and 67 RBI. It was a down year for both the player and his team. He is owed $38.5 million over the next three years, which is a reasonable rate given the production he can give a team.
However, many wonder why the Diamondbacks seem to be so set on trading the former number one pick. An MVP candidate just two seasons ago, it's possible Upton's best years are still ahead of him. Moving him now, before he even reaches his prime, could come back to haunt the Diamondbacks for years to come, regardless of what they get in return.

These are not the benches you see at Lowes or HD. They are much smaller. I didn't look at the dimensions when ordering and relied solely on the picture. They're nice, fairly sturdy but more geared as kid seating or one adult per bench. Easy to put together and well packaged. This was a mistake on my part and the overall quality is good. Just know what you're getting and you'll be satisfied.
I purchased this bench to replace a bench that had wooden slats. The slats kept warping and decaying from exposure to weather so this all metal bench was my solution. I am using it principally for decor but it will hold a lightweight adult or kids with no problem. I would not recommend it as a full duty, functional bench. After assembling it with the provided tools be sure to use a real wrench and screwdriver to tighten them completely and that will sturdy the bench sufficiently. Overall, the bench looks great and serves the purpose I purchased it for just great.
Bench was easy enough to assemble, but leaned considerably. With a lot of effort my husband was able to bend and pry the legs into a shape that allows it to be upright, but still is wiggily when we sit on it. It is only appropriate for decorative purposes.
Don't buy this product if you are of average size. It is very uncomfortable. The color is very cheap looking. It is very shallow in seat depth and not quite tall enough in the legs. It is for looks only and that is questionable. Way too much money for what you get. Keep looking elsewhere for a better product and price.
cute outdoor bench - it does say don't leave out in the rain - interesting for an outdoor bench.
I bought 2 of these benches, they look really nice in my yard. They're pretty sturdy for 2 adults to sit in them and extremely easy to put together. I have had these benches sitting outside for the past couple of years and they look the same as the first day I put them outside. I'I will be buying another one to put near my front door.
Just as pictured, beautiful! Very well-made, solid and sturdy. Color and shading, as well as the design, are beautiful.
I've had this for a couple of years now, and it still looks great despite being outdoors. Very sturdy and easy to assemble.
We bought this to be outdoors all year. It took the snow and rain like a trooper. Nice size for two people. Elegant look. Plan to buy another.
Just got this bench assembled and placed on my front porch three days ago. It is fairly easy to put together and I got the seat and legs together by myself, but needed my son's help to get the back attached. Using two people from the start would have been way faster. I am very happy with the style and color. Mine has a lot of black on the finish and is perfect with the dark bronze porch lights. It looks great against the red colors of the house bricks. The bench is surprisingly comfortable to sit on and feels sturdy. Mine will be used mostly to hold the packages that are genereated by my online shopping obsession. All in all this is a comfortable and high quality bench and I am more than pleased with this purchase -- it's beautiful.

It's a week until the XMPP Summit in Brussels, which I won't be able to attend. However, I do have some thoughts about two of the subjects that are on the agenda that I wanted to share.
Carbons/MAM and e2e-encryption seem to be moving in two completely opposite directions: MAM wants to store messages server-side, while e2e protocols like OTR want to ensure those stored messages are useless. But I don't think they'd have to be mutually exclusive. I think it would be possible to find a solution that unifies the two concepts.

Sheridan plays down Lions hopes
ESPN Staff
April 24, 2013
Andrew Sheridan on the charge for Toulon © Getty Images
Toulon prop Andrew Sheridan has revealed he is not expecting a British & Irish Lions call-up when the squad for the summer's tour to Australia is unveiled on April 30.
Reports on Tuesday suggested Lions coach Warren Gatland has not contacted Toulon coach Bernard Laporte since November. With Toulon in line to make the Top 14 final on June 1 - the same day the Lions play the Barbarians in Hong Kong - it seems likely Gatland will not turn to Toulon's potential Lions for the summer's tour, apart from Gethin Jenkins who will re-join the Cardiff Blues ahead of next season.
Sheridan has been an integral part of Toulon's side this year and if he plays against Saracens in Sunday's Heineken semi-final, it will be his 30th match of the season - a far cry from last term where he made just eight appearances for the Sale Sharks.
But despite his impressive form, and his reputation as one of the world's most ferocious scrummagers, he is not expecting a call from Gatland telling him he is on the plane.
"The Lions is not on the agenda," Sheridan told the Telegraph. "You have your time on the international front and you move on. There's no point stewing over it. Even if I hadn't come here, there was a sense that England wanted to look to the future, and rightly so.
"It was a great honour, too, to go on two Lions tours [2005 and 2009] but those days are behind me. I really hope they go well in Australia but it's something that I'll not be part of."

And a 28th overall is still a good pick that has significant value.
There is nothing, and I repeat, nothing outside Hall/RNH that would make me want to move him. Ergo, he won't be traded.
I'll say. I like MPS, but Musil and Lander are not remotely enticing and the Oilers with Burns are not a bottom-10 team.
Charlie Coyle has ten points. We've got Teemu Hartikainen, who is an average prospects who will maybe be a third liner in the NHL, who has 11 points. I can see how you value him highly (Oilers fans pump Teemu's tires whenever possible), but ultimately, both are worth about a low first at best.
Setoguchi has only hit 50 points once in 4 full seasons. The last three seasons have been 36, 41 and 36 points. Not bad, but not worth one of the big 4 either.
28th overall is indeed still a good pick, but honestly even nowadays with good scouting, it's a long shot that they will play in the NHL, and an especially long shot for them to be impact players.
If we have to give up something like Gagner, Hartikainen, Musil and a top-15 protected first round pick in 2013 for Burns, I'd do it. Or even just Gagner, Hartikainen and Klefbom.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Selinger better beware party faithful
Dogged by controversy leading up to NDP convention
Two years from the next provincial election, Premier Greg Selinger has suddenly found himself scrambling to prove he is still worthy to lead his party and the province.
It's been a fairly unique convergence of events and issues that has put Selinger in such a defensive position.
First, there was the controversy surrounding his sudden decision one year ago to raise the PST to fund infrastructure. Then, this week, Selinger was forced to expel former cabinet minister Christine Melnick after she publicly accused him of using her as a scapegoat.
In one of the worst bits of political coincidence, Selinger must now carry those two millstones into the NDP's annual general meeting this weekend in Winnipeg.
There is no formal leadership vote planned for the AGM, but many believe Selinger's recent difficulties will be on everyone's mind.
Selinger was rocked on Monday when Melnick issued a statement accusing him and senior political staff of using her as a scapegoat in the simmering concern over the use of senior civil servants to organize a rally at the Manitoba legislature in April 2012.
Melnick lied in the legislature when asked if she personally asked a senior civil servant to issue invitations to immigrants and immigration workers to attend a special debate at the legislature.
The debate was on a government resolution condemning Ottawa for taking control of immigrant settlement services.
Melnick claimed this week she was directed by Selinger's senior political staff to organize the invitations for the resolution debate, including her decision to involve an assistant deputy minister in the plan. Selinger continues to dispute these claims and punctuated his feelings on the matter by tossing Melnick from the NDP caucus.
When all of the events of the past two days are examined, Selinger had little choice but to expel Melnick. Her allegations, many of which remain unproven, were an act of mutiny.
However, it's unlikely this act of leadership will quiet the murmurs of doubt about Selinger's performance on this and other files. There will be plenty of murmurs this weekend when he confronts a large, unpredictable meeting of party faithful.
In an interview following his announcement of Melnick's expulsion, Selinger acknowledged there will be party members in attendance this weekend who want answers about the PST, Melnick and other files. Selinger said he can only worry about showing people he knows how to govern "appropriately."
"We'll see," Selinger said when asked if he has to win back the trust of his party. "I'm certainly going to be open to whatever the members ask me. I think the members no doubt want to be reassured that we're doing the right things and that we have the right focus."
Make no mistake about it, this is a critical moment in Selinger's tenure as leader.
After taking over from his predecessor, Gary Doer, in 2009, Selinger emerged victorious in his first general election as leader, adding to his majority even though the Progressive Conservatives saw huge gains in popular vote.
There are many within the party who believe that electoral result was more lucky than good. Either way, there has been a lingering concern that somehow Selinger dodged a bullet.
This time around, both the challenge from the opposition and skepticism about his government's ability to continue leading exist at heightened levels. That is why the Melnick debacle has become such a concern for Selinger and his inner circle. It is an added burden at a time when he is already straining under the weight of doubt.
Selinger must be much better in fending off his critics. To date, when pressed to defend himself, the premier has shown an unfortunate tendency to bog down in the minute details of each controversy. This produces overly complex answers to simple questions that, ultimately, lead to even more allegations he is a stranger to the truth.
For example, Selinger continued on Tuesday to maintain his senior political staff had no role in directing Melnick on how to organize the rally at the legislature.
In fact, his staff were involved in the broad plans for the event. His insistence on making that distinction tends to enhance, rather than reduce, concerns he is being untruthful.
Party gatherings can be fraught with peril even in good times. However, this weekend Selinger will be facing a membership that is a bit more volatile than they have been in some time.
These are people who, over the past 14 years, have developed a taste for governing.
That means they are unlikely to demonstrate much patience if they see the current leader is threatening that run.

Beautiful Rain
I went out and watered my lawn and flower beds as the rest of Houston has been getting rain for several days. So Starting Sunday we got a nice rain that helped our soil recover.
Since then we have gotten rain four days in a row that has again helped bring back life to our soil. Four wonderful days plus bringing the temps down 10 degrees.
I do hope the rest of Texas is enjoying this weather also. I could never ask for better rain than this. I am also glad that we are out of the 100+ temps at least for now.
Happy Gardening to all
It's rained off and on for the last several days here too, but not enough to measure in the rain gauge. I have enjoyed the cooler temperatures though and playing outside between showers.
What we need is a couple more big drenching tropical disturbance to put in a serious dent in the drought over the entire Texas. There might be another one that is currently south of Florida. They're not sure if they would track to the west into Texas though. We will find out in a couple days to get a clearer idea of where it's going.
