Solid Advice About Pest Control
Are you battling to control pests? Do you worry they'll take over your house? Do you need expert help yet have no idea where to look or what to do? The write up below will give you some ideas of how to keep your home free of any unwelcome guests.
Fumigate your home regularly if you have continuous pest problems. Some areas can be so infested that it may be almost impossible to keep them away. Nonetheless, if you take preventative actions, you are more likely to succeed.
Do you sometimes find ants running around? Sugar and borax can be blended together to free you of them. Sugar brings in the ants, and the borax kills them. Mix a mug of the sugar with an equal quantity of the borax. Put in a jar with small holes in the lid, and also scatter it around the area where the ants are.
Be sure to close up any type of openings where rodents could enter your house. This is especially essential before wintertime, when rodents will be seeking a cozy area to nest. Find any cracks and gaps of even the smallest dimensions around the windows, vents and structure of your house. Some of the smaller rodents require less than a quarter inch to squeeze through.
Make sure your food is covered efficiently If food is left uncovered it will produce an odour, which will attract a wide range of pests such as mice, rats, flies, fruit flies, wasps etc. This can lead to problems, which could cost you a lot of money .
Check any sort of seeds or houseplants before you bring them home. You want to check for current indicators of insects. You additionally should look for condition issues that may draw in pests. Never place anything in your house that would bring in insects or parasites from the outdoors.
If you live on a farm and have trouble with mice, and even rats, take into consideration getting a cat or even two, to offer natural pest control. Make sure the cats have not been declawed, and that they have accessibility to every part of the exterior buildings. Make sure to offer meals and water to the cats as they will still capture mice even if they are not hungry.
With all of this in mind, you'll take on those pests and hopefully you will soon have them under control.
Tips When You Hire a Mechanic
If you rely on your car to get you to work and back each day or run the family about, then it is extremely important that your vehicle is kept in tip top condition. This write-up should help you to do this.
When doing work on your vehicle you must make sure you know what you are doing. If you are trying to save some cash by doing it yourself and are uncertain about something, you should let an expert do the work or you could end up paying out a lot of money.
Save fuel by driving as if you have a glass of water resting on your dashboard. This method will stop you from accelerating and braking with jerky movements and smooth driving will also conserve fuel.
Monitoring and also fixing the air conditioning in your car is quite complicated. If you need to have it examined or repaired, discover a mechanic with a cooling qualification. The fuel used for air conditioning is potentially unsafe and this system is a whole lot more intricate compared to the other components in your vehicle.
When it comes to car maintenance and repair, less expensive is not always a good idea. You really want an individual who is experienced with your make as well as model of car to be dealing with it. While you may manage having a friend do your oil change in return for supper, anything more challenging is better delegated to an expert. You don't want to have to pay extra later to deal with those "repairs".
When you are looking for a vehicle repair garage, shop around to make sure that you find the most effective deal. Go to at least three different repair shops to obtain a quote. If you are quoted a price that is unrealistically low or high, you need to find somebody else to do the job.
Make certain to have all your car records to hand. Some individuals keep this documentation in the glove compartment of their vehicle so it is easily accessible, if required. Maintenance and repair experts may want to view these records and it will certainly help them in identifying any problems.
Taking care of a vehicle is a crucial and also fundamental part of life. Just knowing the fundamentals is a big deal and can help keep the price of repair works down. Simply apply the tips from this article and you will be one step nearer to understanding your vehicle better.
If you want to find out how to get your carpet cleaned professionally, the article below should give you some valuable tips.
Carpet cleaning companies generally charge by the square foot. To make sure that you are not paying more than you should, measure the area you want cleaned beforehand. If the estimate is more than you expected, you should get another quote.
If you are having difficulty getting rid of bad odours in your carpet, instead of spending your cash on a pricey odour remover, you could scatter a small quantity of baking powder on your carpet before using your vacuum. Repeat whenever you vacuum your carpet when necessary.
When a carpet-cleaning business is cleaning your carpet, they should not use any form of heat. Your carpet can get damaged, especially if it is vividly coloured or patterned.
If you are treating a stain, try to focus on working towards the middle. This movement will separate the tarnish to ensure that it will not spread out on your flooring. Try to use a cleaning product that gets rid of the stain without damaging your rug while doing so.
Prior to starting work with a company, ask them if they have insurance. In fact, it might even be best to see evidence of insurance coverage. No matter how good a business could be, mistakes happen and if they do not have insurance, you will need to pay for any damages from your own pocket.
A carpeting cleaning firm you're wanting to hire should have cutting edge equipment. A good company will at the very least have a procedure for cleaning that includes 6 actions. The steps must involve vacuuming the carpeting, pre-treatment, pre-grooming, steam cleaning, post-spot cleaning and also a speed drying process. Anything less than that and you could question the quality of job.
When you've seen the outcomes a professional carpeting cleaner can bring to your home, you won't want to return to doing it the aged made method. Consider the time and initiative you'll save yourself by leaving it to the pros: fantastic results while you do another thing and also no hurting back at the end of the day! With any luck this article inspires you to call the specialists.

It also came earlier than expected, a bonus."

JM Teen Driver Dead, this is a headline that we see all too much in newspapers today. So, why do we continue to let these situations happen? I didnt receive my license when I was 16, my parents made me wait until I turned seventeen. My parents made me wait, and I am happy they did. Though it was only one year I felt like I became a smarter and more mature driver because of that. It seemed like there were a lot of people I knew who got into accidents before they were even seventeen. Driving around as a passenger in friends cars gave me the chance to learn from their mistakes. Today, I would like to persuade you that the legal driving age should be changed to 18 years old. By changing the legal driving age to 18, you will be able to control accident and death rates among teenage drivers. We need to identify these problems, and find the best solution for them. First, you will need to know what physical and mental process goes into driving. Due to less driving experience, it is impossible for sixteen year olds to read and react to situations faced on the road. A driving permit can be obtained after the age of fifteen. One year is given to practice the skills needed to operate motor vehicles. On average a student only gets in 20 to 65 hours of driving. Americans spend an average of 3 to 11 hours a day in a vehicle. This practice time is very miniscule to get the experience you need for everyday driving situations. Why does Tiger Woods drive the ball 350 yards, and why did Barry Bonds break the all time Home Run Record because of their perfect swing through thousands of repetitions to sharpen their muscle ...

buying gas grill this weekend, which one??
I have done my homework, problem is after building this new home, working on the landscaping and getting bids on paving the drive way, DH says under $500.00. When we started building he was the first to say we need a really nice grill for this house, but he sure has changed his mind. This is what I have found Webber seems to be number one. But for under $500.00 it is the smaller one. Now I have heard nothing but BAD comments wherever I googled about the Perfect Flame so I will not even consider it.
Getting mixed reviews on the Charbroil, and the Napolean(not sure I love the looks). Also the infrared sounds great, if it is to be had for under $500.00. Any opinions on these grills? I guess my thoughts are is the so called stripped down and small webber better then going with the bells & whistles on the Charbroil or the Napolean? Or will either of them meet our needs? Thanks
We used to have Weber gas grills that wore out real fast. One even caught on fire. And later on we found out that it was recalled for that problem.
We now have a charbroil and I love it. It is the stainless steel one with the side burner. I have never used the side burner but I like size of the grill and they way the tank is tucked underneath in a cabinet.
I hope this helps!
I hope responding on Sunday is not too late! I was cooking in the woods all weekend on cast iron and dutches.
I have a Napolean 450RBI and absolutely love it. It has the infrared burner that is great for steaks and hamburgers. My is stainless steel with the cover.
But the 450RBI is over $1200.00 dollars. So I'm not sure it fits your budget.
You only mention your price restrictions but not your requirements for a grill. Do you want electronic ignition for lighting? Do you want stainless steel or regular metal finish? Do you want cast iron grates? How many are you cooking for?
Enjoy the journey.

I'm buying a gas grill today, in fact. Due to moving to an apartment, my main consideration was size (needing a smaller one).
I'm going with the Weber Q 300. Nothing bad to say about it on any of the reviews I've read. It's a bit spendy for me ($350), but it's exactly what I need. Adding a link to it.
Here is a link that might be useful: Weber Q 300 gas grill
BBQ's Galore was having a sale on the Turbo Classic. A great buy for $389 for 3 burner nat gas or propane. Sale ended last week, but they will probably sell if there is any more stock. I have owned two of these over 20+ year period and I just bought a third. Great for basic grilling and rotisserie kits are available. Best of all, parts are available forever and grill can be upgraded as needed. There is also a 4 burner model.
Here is a link that might be useful: BBQ's Galore
Just in case you haven't purchased.. I have a Napoleon 450RBI built in, and have been 110% happy with this thing. I got a great deal on it for $799 last summer, and have used it at least once a week every since then.
A friend of mine has a Charbroil full stainless that he bought at Lowes last year, and there is absolutely no comparison when cooking on these two grills. I hate grilling on his now.. heat distribution is uneven, and takes forever to heat up. It's rated for higher BTUs but doesn't come close to performing as well as the Napoleon..

Evangelicals and American Foreign PolicyGallons of ink have been spilled in examining the influence of Evangelicals on American politics. Yet the conversation--among pundits, politicians, and scholars--has focused overwhelmingly on hot-button domestic issues, such as abortion and gay marriage. In Evangelicals and American Foreign Policy, Mark Amstutz looks beyond our shores at Evangelicals' role in American foreign affairs. Writers have
Concepts, Theories, and Cases in Global PoliticsNow in a comprehensively revised and updated edition, International Ethics cogently demonstrates that moral values and ethical reasoning are indispensable in global politics. Through balanced arguments and a wide-ranging selection of case studies, Mark R. Amstutz convincingly demonstrates that moral norms are an essential element of foreign policy and that ethical analysis is central to the study
The Promise and Limits of Political ForgivenessHow does one forgive an international political transgression as deep as genocide or apartheid? Forgiveness is often conceived of as an element of personal morality, and even at that it is difficult. This book argues that it is also an essential part of political ethics, especially when dealing with collective wrongdoing by political regimes. In the past, a retributive justice demanding
Evangelical Perspectives on Public PolicyThe political emergence of evangelical Christians has been a signal development in America in the past quarter century. And while their voting tendencies have been closely scrutinized, their participation in the policy debates of the day has not. They continue to be caricatured as anti-intellectual Bible thumpers whose views are devoid of reason, logic, or empirical evidence. They're seen as
Human Rights and their Limits shows that the concept of human rights has developed in waves: each call for rights served the purpose of social groups that tried to stop further proliferation of rights once their own goals were reached. While defending the universality of human rights as norms of behavior, Osiatyński admits that the philosophy on human rights does not need to be universal. Instead
States & Their Apologies by ProxyApologia Politica defines and explores the nature of public apology.

This is a groundbreaking work,

Why militant protest is good for democracyMartin Luther King once insisted that "a riot is the language of the unheard." Since 2011 swathes of protest, rebellion, and rioting have covered the globe.

Power and Willpower in the American Future
Why the United States Is Not Destined to DeclineTo argue against the widely proclaimed idea of American decline might seem a lonely task. After all, the problems are real and serious. Yet if we take a longer view, much of the discourse about decline appears exaggerated, hyperbolic and ahistorical. Why? First, because of the deep underlying strengths of the United States. These include not only size, population, demography and resources, but

The world is one of increasing diversity and pluralism. Our world is one of the different and of the many. Even the individual personality and the social self are increasingly diverse and plural.

kordana rose
I have another kordana rose from walmart. The last one I got I did plant outside, now I am finding out your not suppose to do that. My one I put outside is still alive. I got another one for a gift. Can someone please tell me the proper place to plant theses? Can they be outdoors full sun or not full sun. Searching on the internet I get different answers. I am in zone 4. In pots or the ground. Garden center said to put it in a pot than bring it in in the fall. Than she said they did not sell them so was not for sure.
Outside, in full sun. You can put them in the ground or in a pot, but you'll have to do something to keep it protected over the winter. In your zone, if you put it in the ground, you'll have to do some kind of winter protection (coving with soil or mulch or wrapping with burlap). If you keep it in a pot, bring the pot into an unheated garage or basement for the winter, keeping the soil moist, but away from light and heat.
I just rec'd a kordana rose plant as a gift. I live in zone 6. I am looking to move in the next couple months and dont know what to do. should i plant the plant outside and then dig it up in a couple months or just keep it as is until I move?
Also is it safe to plant outdoors in zone 6?
I bought Kordana roses from CVS when they were selling them for Easter. Keep them in they kitchen and was watering them at the most once a week think I could plant them outside when the weather turned warmer. None of them died and around late april I planted them in a garden I had cleared useing QuickStart and soil with peet mulch, no fertiilizer and mulch. Now I find them growing much bigger and spreading out, so I thought maybe them needed something to grow up not out. I looked online and found out them are supposed to be kept in a pot. Now how do I kept the roses growing and survive the winter in the ground? Or can I?
I don't know where you're getting this information that these roses should be kept inside. It's not true at all. Roses, all roses, ALWAYS prefer being OUTSIDE! Roses like very high light levels and humidity. You would not keep your home bright enough or damp enough for them to be happy. You did the right thing and should have no problem wintering them in the ground. I don't know what zone you're in but if you want you can pile some mulch over their bases in the very late fall after a couple of hard frosts for some added winter protection. In the early spring when you see them begin to leaf out again pull the mulch back and prune off any winter damaged cane tips. They should come back with out a problem.
Miniature roses are only miniature in the size of the leaves and blooms. The plants themselves will get as large as any other rose. If yours are getting big it's because they are healthy and happy! Keep them watered and feed them some balanced fertilizer once in a while and they'll bloom all summer.

07 Apr 2013 16:52 GMT | Health, Business & Economy, Africa, South Africa
Former South African President Nelson Mandela has returned home in Johannesburg from a hospital where he spent 10 days under treatment for pneumonia, according to a statement from the office of the presidency.
It was his third trip to a hospital since December, when he was treated during a three-week stay for a lung infection and had a procedure to remove gallstones.
"[Mandela] has been discharged from hospital today, 6 April, following a sustained and gradual improvement in his general condition," the statement said on Saturday.
"The former president will now receive home-based high care."
Mandela had received similar treatment at his home after a hospital stay in December.
During Mandela's hospitalisation, doctors drained fluid from his lung area, making it easier for him to breathe.
Earlier in March, the anti-apartheid leader was admitted to hospital overnight for what authorities said was a successful scheduled medical test.
Mandela became South Africa's first black president in 1994 after elections were held, bringing an end to the system of white racist rule known as apartheid.
After his release from prison in 1990, Mandela was widely credited with averting even greater bloodshed by helping the country in the transition to democratic rule.
The Nobel Peace Prize laureate has been particularly vulnerable to respiratory problems since contracting tuberculosis during his 27-year imprisonment for fighting white racist rule in his country.
South African officials have said doctors were acting with extreme caution because of Mandela's advanced age.
In Saturday's statement, Zuma thanked the medical team and hospital staff that looked after Mandela and expressed gratitude for South Africans and people around the world who had shown support for Mandela.

"Ordered these (not as "thank you" but as a "hello!" note) for my 11 year-old niece's b-day. She's not into flower and typical girly stuff, so this design was perfect for her. It came out beautiful. I do wish, though, that TinyPrints would offer boxes for their products. The "presentation" factor for the stationary as a gift isn't great. I'm going to pull it all out of the plastic & wrap in a ribbon, but wish there was a proper sized box that I could buy in which my niece could keep the stationary."
"Love this for my little one on the way. I will certainly be getting the matching announcements once she makes her arrival! The pink and gray are the colors I have chosen for her nursery too so it worked great!"
"This note card is super cute with the right amount of outdoor fun and girly flair. I have received numerous compliments on the style of this personalized card. The paper is nice and thick and the speedy delivery from tiny prints is always appreciated!"
"just used these as personalized thank you notes for my son. I bought them to coordinate w/ Frog Friend birth announcement. I made them more boyish by changing the font on the front. Beautiful and preppy"
"This card has just the right amount of charm! The perfect shade of blue coupled with the look of a men's striped tie made my husband say, "Those are great. Can I have one?" If my husband wanted a copy to keep, I figured I had to write a review. I used a suggested font, had my son's full name typed in all lower case (he's about to turn one), and added a cute picture to the back. Because it isn't tied to a specific theme, I can use them for birthday thank yous, Christmas thank yous, and just every day hello's to family members and friends. This card is a keeper, literally! :)"

Beautiful Condo, Great location, Things to Do
If you are reading this review then you are somebody that likes to get as much information as possible when deciding where to vacation and where to stay. I can save you a lot of time and tell you to just book this condo in Jaco, Costa Rica. The unit is exactly as described, fairly priced and in a great location. The owner is extremely responsive and even set up our airport transportation. The town has good restaurants and is very walkable. We always felt safe. One day I walked around the corner and rented a car from Alamo for a trip to Manuel Antonio National Park. That was a nice day trip for my wife and me along with our two college aged kids. We visited two casinos. The nicer one is a ten minute walk North or a $4 cab ride. The owner also connected us with Julie Beyer, a local real estate agent and personal concierge who came over to the condo and gave us restaurant recommendations and booked a number of activities for us. She lined up a combination zipline / waterfall rappelling tour, a crocodile tour (a must do), surfing lessons for the kids and also a driver to take us to a beautiful sunset spot called Villa Caletas. Nothing was more than 20 minutes away and they pick you up right at the condo. We had one minor issue with one of the bedroom A/C units and the Management company had it fixed quickly. Overall, this is a great family vacation location. The sport fishing is also fantastic.
A Slice of Heaven on Earth!
We are so impressed with SEABREEZE CASA that I feel compelled to write my review while still on vacation! From the moment my family stepped off the plane, we were greeted warmly by a driver arranged by our hosts Bob and Bea. In fact, our hosts were in constant contact with us prior to leaving the states and were there for us if we needed anything throughout our entire stay. Although you can take a 1/2 hour puddle jumper from San Jose to Quepos, we chose the 3 3/4 hour car ride in order to get the full flavor of the Costa Rican countryside. We arrived after dark so we couldn't fully appreciate the lush tropical grounds until the next morning. What we did find was a beautifully appointed "Pool House". Appropriately named because in less than three feet from the sliding glass doors, you're stepping in a gorgeous, crystal clear, aqua blue pool. The pool has two tiers great for little swimmers and heated to just the right temperature. As if this isn't enough, I want to mention that it's also an infinity pool overlooking a 100 acre private rainforest reserve which gently spills into the Pacific Ocean. My wife is a flight attendant and we travel the world extensively and have NEVER seen sunsets like the ones we experienced from the SEABREEZE courtyard. We traveled with a family of five, however, the property can accommodate a much larger group. In addition to the "Main House master suite, there are two additional separate living quarters on the property. The second area has it's own entrance, living area, bathroom, kitchen, TV, and washer and dryer. As if this isn't enough space, on the other side of the pool, there is a brand new villa with its OWN living area, and master bath. Between all three accommodations, you can easily sleep 10! The pool house boasts beautiful black granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and there are 5 full bathrooms on the property. Although we dined at a number of restaurants, when it came to cooking at home, we had our choice. Whether you want to cook inside or out, SEABREEZE CASA has you covered. You can go into town and buy fresh fish and meats and cook on the outdoor grill. What was truly unique about SEABREEZE CASA was the wildlife. If you're an early riser, you can be greeted by a family of white faced monkeys. In the afternoon, we saw Tuscans proudly perched on trees less than 10 feet from the pool. We also saw a Sloth! All in all, SEABREEZE CASA gets a 5 star rating from us. We'll miss you!! Nick and Randi
Absolutely fabulous!
Wonderful well-kept house and gardens and pool. The beach is at the bottom of the garden, and we only ever saw a few people there to watch the sunset. Unspoilt beautiful area. Loved watching the pelicans skim the waves.

It's not. Many players and reviewers alike have confirmed this along with other things.
This reviewer is literally stating false facts. Ex : The "gently" press your mouse button has been confirmed wrong, even the user manuel states that it is the SHIFT key...
Other users (even in the comment section where the article was originally posted on gameranx) have stated that the game runs at 60 fps, as well as that the game never encourages or forces you to kill.

Or maybe it's because I've been a Hitman fan since 47 that I'm trying my damnedest to see the best in this game. Fortunately IO has received enough backlash to prevent it from becoming another Splinter Cell Conviction. I'm sure going to miss that newspaper (which should have been upgraded to a news broadcast) and Jesper Kyd though. :(

They are always well charged with scent and work very well, attracting fish. I use the recharge to keep the tub full, since some of it gets lost when I put my hand in the tub to get baits, and if we are wading I will pour some recharge in the bag with the baits to keep them fresh.

I have been working at Penn National Gaming part-time (more than a year)
Love the industry, company is fun, have a lot of great friends through this job.
Management is scarce, you have to deal with a lot of guest problems and interference on your own. Always short staffed on every shift, and thats not even due to call offs. Working long hours to maybe make minimum wage.
Listen to your employees. When they all agree on needing a busser or host for a busy promotional night, find one. Stay close to the outlets so you can interact with the customers as well, especially if a check needs to be changed or gratuity needs to be added. It gets exhausting having to do 4 other peoples jobs because you have lazy supervisors.

Results tagged ' Red Sox '
Napoli: "I feel great now"
Caught up with Mike Napoli this morning, and the time off has definitely done the big slugger some good. John Farrell said the first baseman will return the first day he is eligible — on June 8 at Detroit.
Though Napoli is sidelined with a left fourth finger sprain – an injury he originally suffered in Chicago on April 15 – he was dealing with a variety of maladies before finally being placed on the disabled list on May 25.
"It wasn't just the finger," said Napoli. "I was dealing with a lot of stuff. It was probably the best thing for me. I was going to keep on trying to grind it out, grind it out, but this is probably the best time for me just to get everything fixed, get better so I'm playing somewhat healthy. I think it was just time to do it."
And the decision was easier for Napoli to accept with the Red Sox going on a tear with him out of the lineup. The club had a six-game winning streak entering Sunday.
"Seeing them playing like this and winning definitely helps," said Napoli. "I'm concentrating on getting better and coming back and trying to help us."
What was bothering Napoli aside from his finger?
"Toe issue, calf, hammies," Napoli said. "My whole body was beat up. I'm feeling great now. I'm just getting treatment."
And the finger, which he mangled backwards on a head-first slide in Chicago?
"It's getting better. The swelling is starting to go down," Napoli said. "I can actually fit my finger in my batting glove now. I don't have to cut it off."
Price responds to Papi
After David Ortiz ripped David Price for plunking him in the back, the lefty responded on Saturday.
Was Price surprised that Big Papi crushed him with so many verbal barbs?
"Not really. He was mad. So I get it," Price said. "We all say stupid stuff when we're mad. Been there. I'm sure he probably wishes he wouldn't have said some of the things he said. You can't relate the game that we play to a war. Kellen Winslow got a lot ofr crap for saying he was a soldier. You're not a soldier. This is not war. We have troops fighting for us that are in a war. It's not a good comparison."
Did it both Price what Ortiz said?
"No. It didn't bother me. Not one bit, honestly, It really didn't. I'm not worried about it. Keep going," Ortiz said.
Pedro to Sox fans: Cheer Manny next week
When the 2004 Red Sox have their 10-year reunion at Fenway Park next week, there should be great memories of the characters that helped break an 86-year World Series championship drought.
Amid a festive atmosphere, Pedro Martinez hopes that Red Sox fans rise to the occasion and give Manny Ramirez a warm welcome in his first visit to Fenway Park since 2010.
"It took a lot for him to come," said Martinez. "He wants to make it up to the Boston fans. He wants to show everybody that he's a different person, that he's a Christian man and a role model to his family. His kids are going to be here. It will be nice if we all kind of get together and just make a fun day out of it and remember that Manny was the MVP [of the World Series] and he's the biggest reason probably why we won it."
The ceremony will take place prior to the May 28 home game against the Braves.
When the Red Sox signed Ramirez to an eight-year contract in December 2000, Martinez was one of the players who helped recruit him.
Fittingly, Martinez also was one of the key people to encourage Ramirez to come back to Boston for a reunion in which nearly every core member of the "Idiots" will be on hand.
"Yeah, I tried to talk him into it," Martinez said. "He wants to make up with Boston again."
There were many highs and lows for Ramirez in Boston, but nobody can dispute he is one of the best hitters in club history.
In eight seasons with the Sox, Ramirez was a .312 hitter with 274 homers and a .999 OPS.
Ramirez was traded for Jason Bay in 2008 after several incidents, including a dugout skirmish with Kevin Youkilis and an altercation in which he pushed traveling secretary Jack McCormick to the ground.
After his departure from the Red Sox, Ramirez was twice suspended for violation of MLB's performing-enhancing drugs policy, the latter of which occurred during his brief stint for the Rays in 2011.
But Martinez can sense how regretful Ramirez is of those incidents.
"He made a couple of mistakes," said Martinez. "He knows it, but now he knows he's a different man. He's a Christian man and all he wants to talk about is God."
This will be the first time Ramirez has done anything in affiliation with the Red Sox since his controversial departure from the club.
"His kids, I'm pretty sure, are very excited to come over and see their dad again in Fenway," Martinez said. "I think fans should take that in consideration."
Drew coming back to Red Sox
Stephen Drew's presence was missed enough by the Red Sox that the club has opted to bring the free agent shortstop back.
And thus ends an odyssey that started with Drew rejecting Boston's qualifying offer of $14.1 million last November, only to return on a one-year deal that will pay him $10 million for the remainder of the 2014 season, multiple sources confirmed to MLB.com
While the Red Sox haven't announced the signing yet, manager John Farrell acknowledged that Drew will undergo a physical in Boston on Wednesday. Assuming there are no complications, the deal will become official then.
"I think Stephen helped us out a lot last year," said Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz. "Great player, great teammate and hopefully he brings the same attitude that he had last year and helps us win some games."
Before Drew makes his debut for Boston in 2014, he will need a Minor League rehab assignment of roughly 25 at-bats, according to Farrell.
Rookie Xander Bogaerts, who has been the starting shortstop through the early part of the season, will move to third base once Drew is activated. Third baseman Will Middlebrooks is on the disabled list for the second time this season after fracturing his right index finger last week.
When Middlebrooks returns, he could at least start at third base against lefties, with Bogaerts supplanting Drew at short for many of those games.
The Red Sox had a 20-23 record entering Tuesday's game with the Blue Jays.
"Provided everything works out [with the physical], we've added a very good player to improve this team," said Farrell. "That's the one thing that [general manager] Ben [Cherington] and ownership have repeatedly shown — when a need exists, they'll do whatever is capable and available at a given time to improve the team. Stephen's return to us could very well do that. It'll add stability to the left side of the infield."
Myers back at Fenway
To Wil Myers, Fenway Park isn't just the place he got heckled in the playoffs last year, but also the place he made his Major League debut earlier in the 2013 season. He was the American League's Rookie of the Year, though Boston fans remember him most warmly for losing sight of a flyball by David Ortiz in Game 1 of last year's playoffs.
"Yeah, it's good to be back here where I made my debut. But I'm excited to get back here after the playoffs," said Myers. "As bad as it was last year, it was kind of a cool experience to have all of the Fenway faithful chanting my name. So that was kind of cool. Obviously, it sucked that it happened. But the whole stadium cheering my name was kind of cool."
Throughout Games 1 and 2 of last year's ALDS, Fenway fans taunted the young outfielder with "Myers, Myers, Myers."
Myers had a humorous tweet commemorating his trip to Boston. "Where everybody knows your name.
#Boston #Cheers"
"I was just trying to make light of the things and just kind of move past what happened and looking forward to the game today," said Myers.
Though Tuesday night's game was set to be played under chilly conditions, Myers expected the Fenway faithful to light up at him given the chance.
"Absolutely. I think for sure they'll cheer or chant my name — I don't know about cheer. They'll definitely chant my name tonight. It's all in good fun. But we're looking to come out tonight and win" Myers said.
Myers admits he underestimated just how strong the crowd reaction would be to his gaffe.
"Yeah, I was. I was definitely not expecting that. The fans here are smart baseball fans. They knew that play really turned the momentum. They're smart about what they did."
It was a tough offseason for Myers, he can now admit.
"To be honest, it stayed with me for most of the offseason, to know that play kind of turned the series, especially the momentum. It really made helped me work harder this offseason to get better. It's definitely something I learned from, the playoff experience," Myers said.
Pedroia back; Napoli out
As the Red Sox welcomed one key hitter back to the lineup in Dustin Pedroia, they lost another — at least for the night — in Mike Napoli.
Pedroia is leading off tonight, with Bogaerts hitting second and Gomes hitting fourth. Napoli dislocated his left ring finger on Tuesday night in a gruesome-looking head-first dive into second.
He is day-to-day.
Daniel Nava will play first base in Napoli's absence tonight.
Pedroia relieved, hopes to play Wednesday
Dustin Pedroia admits he had some concern that something was seriously wrong with his left hand. Instead, it was just inflammation, and the invaluable second baseman could be back in the lineup as early as Wednesday.
"Very [relieved]." Pedroia said. "If it was broke, I would have been out a long time. It's good news. Hopefully I'll be in there tomorrow. They gave me a shot to calm everything down. Hopefully, it takes, they say 24 to 48 hours to kick in and then get out there and go."
More on the injury: "Yeah, I was a little bit worried. It was getting worse every day. it happens. I get taken out every day. it's my job. I just felt like it was part of the deal. I'm still obviously doing the rehab on my thumb stuff. they wanted me to get checked out and make sure everything is fine."
What is the issue? "Just inflammation in this area spot in my wrist. It was basically with my rehab stuff with my thumb. Just a spot where I got caught in a weird angle when I got taken out. everything just got inflamed and then I keep swinging and playing, it just adds up and so, you think something is really wrong."
He hopes it doesn't linger. "Yeah, that's why I'm not playing today. I'm trying to strangle John and get in there but you know if one more day can, this can go away, that's great."
Home Opener info
Courtesy of Red Sox PR, here is the press release on Friday's Home Opener.
BOSTON, MA – The Red Sox open their 114th home season this Friday, April 4, with Opening Day festivities set to begin at 1 p.m. The Red Sox play the National League's Milwaukee Brewers at 2:05 p.m.
The pre-game ceremonies will include the presentation of the World Series rings, presented by Samsung, the performance of the national anthem, a helicopter fly-over, the Ceremonial First Pitch, and the call to "Play Ball."
The ceremonies will include a moment of silence in tribute to Lieutenant Edward J. Walsh and Firefighter Michael R. Kennedy, who perished last week when a 9-alarm fire raged through a Back Bay home a mile and a half from Fenway Park. The firefighters were from the station on Boylston Street that also protects the ballpark.
The singing of God Bless America in the middle of the 7th inning will be performed by the Boston Fire Department Quartet.
The Dropkick Murphys, along with Keith Lockhart conducting members of the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra, will perform during the ceremonies. Members of the Hanscom Airforce Base military will line the length of the Green Monster wall as the American flag drops for the anthem.
To maintain the Opening Day tradition of a fly-over at Fenway Park, the United States Coast Guard will fly a single MH-60T helicopter, representing all of our armed forces, at the conclusion of the national anthem.
In honor of the 2013 championship, players will wear special gold-trimmed Red Sox jerseys with gold stitching around the World Series Championship patch on the left sleeve, and around the letters and numbers on the front and back of the jersey.
Fenway Park gates will open at 11:35 a.m., 2 ½ hours before the first pitch. For the rest of the regular season, gates will open 1 ½ hours before the game, except for Season Ticket Holders and Red Sox Nation members, who may enter at Gate C 2 ½ hours before each game.
As always, and especially on midweek day games, the Red Sox urge fans to take the T. In addition to the familiar Green Line stops at Kenmore Square, the MBTA has also built a new Yawkey station for its Commuter Rail service.
The refurbished station, located just 511 feet from the doorstep of Fenway Park, now has as many as 40 scheduled stops per day, up from only 17 flag stops previously. Yawkey Station is part of the Commuter Rail's Framingham/Worcester line, which runs from Worcester to South Station. The last outbound train from Yawkey Station departs at 11:36 p.m. on weekdays and 11:10 p.m. on weekends. Departure times for the last train leaving Yawkey Station are subject to change based on the length of the game.
Ortiz's contract terms
Here are the official terms of David Ortiz's new contract:
2015 season, $16 million.
2016 option starts at $10 million and vests in the following way based on the 2015 season:
425 plate appearances is $11 million.
475 plate appearances is $12 million
525 plate appearances is $13 million
550 plate appearances is $14 million
575 plate appearances is $15 million
600 plate appearances is $16 milion.
The 2017 option is strictly a club option, but it has exactly the same vesting escalators if the Red Sox choose to pick up the option.
For Iglesias, shin problems started with Red Sox
It turns out Jose Iglesias was enduring more than people knew to start the 2013 season at shortstop with the Red Sox and to play third later in the season when Will Middlebrooks was demoted to Triple-A Pawtucket.
On Monday, Iglesias confirmed to Jason Beck of MLB.com and John Lowe of the Detroit Free Press that he has stress fractures in both shins. And he spoke about how much the ailment bothered him as early as last Spring Training.
"No idea. I just feel it from the very first moment of Spring Training [in 2013]. I just told myself to play through it, because I never expected something like that. I just feel pain, but Stephen Drew had a concussion at the time and that was an opportunity for me to start with the team. And I was like, 'You know what, you've got to play through it.' And I did it," Iglesias said.
"We didn't know what it was, but I played through it all year long. Last year I played through the pain all year long. Sometimes Farrell had to give me some days, the same as Jim Leyland here. He had to give me some days or take me out of the game because the pain was so bad. And I was like, 'Man, I don't know what to do to get rid of it.' And I never found out until right now that it was a fracture."
And in the ultimate irony, the injury for Iglesias could create a job opportunity in Detroit for Stephen Drew, who remains a free agent.

Fall Flower Cart
I found this little flower cart for $3.99 at a thrift store.
I went to Michaels and found 2 sets of fall leaves for 50% off, went next door to Doll. Tr.
and bought 1 fall floral = total $3.
Went home and dug out a box of greenery I bought at a GS for $2 a couple of years ago. Pulled a couple of pieces out of the box which is still full, so maybe 10c worth out of the box
The added a piece of Styrofoam that I saved from packaging.
Put it all together....and for $7.09, here is my fall flower cart.
I have been putting out lots of fall, but about ready to switch to Halloween, ;)
Candy, what a cute cart you've ended up with for fall. This cart would be cute redecorated for spring. Oh and wouldn't it be cute for the 4th of July?
I laughed reading you used this and that! I don't do much crafting any more and keep thinking I should get rid of some. But then I think what if I ever retire.
Thanks for sharing your new project!
so pretty, Candy,
Something like this would cost much more a a flower shop or craft store. And if you like, you can change out the flowers seasonally.
Thanks ladies.
Yes, I can change it out seasonally.
I just placed the Styrofoam in the basket, so I can pull the whole floral part out and make different ones for different seasons.
Although, I have soooooo much Christmas décor that I probably won't do anything with it for Christmas, LOL
What can I say? Other than to keep repeating myself about your creativity and your incredible shopping finds!!!
This little cart is a wonderful score, and I'm sure we'll get to see a lot of it decked out for holidays.
I'd love to shop your house, LOL. And Punk's mysterious shed.
hugs, Karen

This is the new v0.3 release of Ubuntu for the HTC HD2 I announced a while ago on twitter.
Ubuntu is a full Linux distribution - and it's not designed for smartphones. But with the large touchscreen, high display resolution and fast system speed of the HTC HD2 I decided to make Ubuntu easily available to HD2 end users!
This is not a secret warez ROM proprietary junk. Source code information below ! Wiki use for contribution purposes is highly encouraged! You can find all information needed to reconstruct my builds there.
The interest seems large enough so you can expect an improved version 0.4 :
-The no-menu problem will be solved
-It will be bootable via cotulla's MAGLDR and HaRET (Handhelds Revers Engineering Tool)
beta closed!! please do not in quire any longer.
=> I am looking for people to test a 0.4 beta version soon as I'm done. If you are interested please direct message or @ me via twitter @htc_linux as I will send the beta download link there.
* You can get online using 3G and WiFi
* Attach all kinds of USB devices like mice, keyboards, flash drives, card readers, networking devbices, etc. to turn your HD2 into a full PC
* Use full desktop like web browser without the usual limitations found in smartphone browsers
* Use instant messaging
* Watch videos
* Handle text messages and make calls (without sound so far)
* Install thousands of programs for your internet experience, office needs, social networking fun, etc.
* Be cooler because you have something special on your phone!
It is difficult to create a release like this as opposed to all the Android builds for the HD2.
Technical background to this:
The Linux kernel we ported to the HD2 is originally designed for use with Android user space (because we based our work on the Linux kernels of official Android devices) and Ubuntu is originally designed for large laptop or desktop computers.
This means many workarounds on kernel and user space level must be made in order to make this usable.
Despite lots of work not all problems could be tackled yet: Audio and suspend/resume do not work as of v0.3 and it is a bit tricky to navigate.
md5sum hd2-ubuntu_0.3.zip aa7ad65d247594e95bb7abe2e7aa7688
You can run an Md5sum program on your download. If you get the above hash you have a 100% trusted release.
Direct mirror: ( Torrent usage encouraged. )
http://hotfile.com/dl/92426365/63801...u_0.3.zip.html thx to shah_vm
Additional direct mirrors welcome.
If you like it you can buy me a beer
Posted from my HD2 via firefox-3 on hd2-ubuntu-0.3
Thanks to Jaxbot (from windowsphonehacker website) for shooting this video!
Additional pics / videos welcome
1)Extract the linux folder to the main directory(!) of your Storage Card.
If the linux folder is not located in the main directory of the Card,
it will not work.
Note: This will not touch your phone's internal memory. WinMo or other Linux/Android builds remain unchanged.
1) Save all your current work and start the HaRET exectuable to boot Linux.
2) Watch the system boot up fully until you see a graphical desktop interface.
3) It is useful to set the CPU speed up for better performance. Tap the CPU speed meter in the mid of top bar.
4) Use shutdown icon in the home menu to bring the system down savely.
Thanks to Jaxbot for shooting this video
Please read the attached and included readme.txt for detailed information.
Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick basis
-optimized for our hd2 CPU
-large performance improvement
-up to date app versions
-new graphical interface
Better connectivity
-3 modes to interact via USB selectable
-file transfer and interactive shell via ADB and USB ETHERNET (ssh)
-USB HOST mode to connect thousands of peripheral devices like keyboards, mice, usb mass storage devices.
Improved drivers
-Backlight control
-Battery charging and state reading
-There is a known problem with the menu not appearing so you will only see a single icon on a normal desktop instead of the fancy menu seen above. You can fix it as explained below.
-There is still no audio in calls and generally due to lack fo ALSA driver for hd2.
-The hardware keys don't work
-No screen rotation added
-The battery % can only be read via shortcut. Icon will always show low state
Please do not report these problems.
In case you are affected by the no-menu problem here is a quick fix:
Add the 'main menu' in the top panel in order to start apps:
-Tap and hold a free spot in the top panel for like 3 secs (note that the area between the left and middle icons is not free s1pace but the window picker) and release the cursor. This is supposed to simulate right click. It is a big tricky..
-A drop down menu should appear
-Select add to panel
-Drag the 'main menu' item to the panel
-You can now start programs and edit settings.
a)In settings menu select session settings and make 'Ubuntu netbook 2d' session default settings menu. Only drawback is you can't add programs to the panel in it.
b)Go to 'startup applications' and try raising the delay in seconds for nbl (netbook-launcher-efl) to start.
Let me know if you get the workaround going in case you were affected
I documented the most important stuff about 'Ubuntu for HD2' in the htc-linux wiki. With that information you can rebuild it from scratch - or implement other OS like meego, kubuntu, etc.
Some parts are not yet updated to match the 0.3 status but I hope I can do it soon.
Get the Linux kernel souce code:
git clone git://git.linuxtogo.org/home/groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git htc-msm-2.6.32
Compile Linux kernels for your HTC

Home > Fruit Trees > Apple Trees >
Get solid production with good taste
We're not going out on a limb when we tell you you'll absolutely love all the positive attributes of the Scarlett Sentinel Columnar Apple tree.
For starters, the tree grows arrow straight and has virtually no branches! That makes it the perfect choice for confined or tight areas. Also, this tree is as sturdy and hardy as any apple tree around. It's been known to withstand summer temperatures of well over 100 degrees and still yield healthy and productive harvests with delicious fruit as soon as the first year of planting.
Frankly, Scarlet combines Good Taste and Great Eye Appeal
Flanked by shiny, deep green leaves, the Scarlet Sentinel's abundant apples hang like plump, red and green bells on an unfurled Christmas wreath. It's a rich look of fruity goodness that will drape in great numbers during several productive, annual harvests. Their sweet and aromatic flavor lends itself well to sliced cheese and a glass of your favorite wine. Crisp and juicy, the Scarlet apple boasts both good looks and satisfying taste throughout the growing season.
Diversity in the Landscape
Now that you know the Scarlet Sentinel will exceed your expectations of solid production and good taste, it's also nice to know that this tree is virtually trouble free. Unaffected by bugs, pests and disease, even windy locations are no hindrance to its successful growth and yields. As if all that's not enough, snow white blossoms will emerge late from this dwarf that won't grow much beyond 10 feet tall.
For best results, pair with the North Pole Columnar Apple Tree.
