Nova beginning the long road back from Tommy John • 09.04.14
Ivan Nova has no idea when he'll be back in a game for the Yankees. He doesn't know when he'll be allowed to throw a breaking ball or get on a mound or even fully unleash a fastball off flat ground. He only knows that he's been playing catch for about two weeks now — extremely light tosses, often with a member of the training staff — and that his surgically repaired right elbow feels even better than he expected.
"It's a really good feeling," Nova said. "A little night, but no pain. That's a good thing."
Nova's just now taking the first steps back from Tommy John surgery. He said he was so nervous about those first few throws that he didn't even want to bend his arm. He kind of slung the ball like his arm was a catapult, all shoulder rotation with no elbow involvement at all. Nova wasn't simply worried his elbow would hurt. He was worried the ligament would snap again. The training staff had to assure him over and over again that the ligament could handle it.
"They were working more on my mind than my arm," Nova said.
So now Nova's throwing a baseball the regular way again, but only 25 throws at a time and never at a long distance. A nice and easy round of catch, nothing more. Other pitchers who've had Tommy John warned him that some of those early throws would be completely off target, so he was ready for that when that happened.
"If I do a tryout like that, I'm not going to sign," he joked.
Does Nova think he could be back early next season? Is mid-season more likely? Will he be able to do much in spring training?
"To be honest, I haven't thought about it," he said. "I know once you get hurt, the rehab program is real, real slow. So I'm ready for that."

Pregame notes: "Real big innings; that was the difference" • 09.03.14
It was exactly one week ago that the Yankees had nine straight hits during a eight-run inning against David Price. Two days before that, they'd gotten to James Shields during a four-run inning in Kansas City. The day before that, they'd taken advantage of some White Sox mistakes to score four unearned runs in one key inning against Chris Sale.
One week ago, it seemed the Yankees offense was finally showing some life. Now it seems that those big innings were simply an exception to the rule, and certainly not a sign of things to come.
"Could be," Joe Girardi said. "You hope not, but it could be."
When the Yankees beat Price, they'd scored at least seven runs in three of four games. They haven't had another seven-run game since then. In fact, they'll start this game having scored a total of seven runs in their past three games.
"I haven't noticed anything different about our approach," Girardi said. "We had some big innings. Real big innings. That was the difference. We had a chance to have a big inning last night and it got kind of messed up. That has been the biggest difference."
Focusing on the big innings of late last month is just the latest variation on a familiar theme of searching for ways to explain the Yankees offensive struggles. It's possible to go up and down the lineup searching for individual problems — there are plenty of those, from Derek Jeter in the No. 2 spot to Mark Teixiera in the regular cleanup role, to the lack of production from the cut-loose veterans Kelly Johnson, Brian Roberts and Alfonso Soriano — but at some point, covering this offense began to feel like banging your head against the wall. It's just the same thing over and over again, and it's rarely good or productive.
"We lost a ton of our rotation and I think people thought that we would just disappear when that happened, when you lose as much as we lost," Girardi said. "But you know, guys stepped up and found a way. We thought that our offense would pick it up, and we would have a shot. And we still do have a shot. But I think maybe the more surprising thing has been how well the starters have done and how we've continued to struggle offensively."
• Girardi indicated that Martin Prado will be completely shut down today, and it's unlikely he'll play tomorrow. The hamstring strain has been described as very mild, but it's too early to know exactly how much time he'll miss. "We'll see tomorrow, but right now he's down," Girardi said. "Our hope is it won't be too long. We'll have to see."
• The injury apparently occurred during on Prado's third at-bat last night, after he hit that ball past Will Middlebrooks. When he made the turn (at first base), I think, is when he said he felt it," Girardi said.
• Ivan Nova made 25 extremely light throws this afternoon. He's been playing catch for about two weeks and said he's encouraged by the way his elbow feels. He said it's tight, but that's not unusual. Nova said he actually feels better than he was expecting.
• For whatever reason, Girardi's still not announcing a date that Masahiro Tanaka will throw a bullpen. It's supposed to be this week, though. "I don't have the exact date when he's going to do it," Girardi said. "He does feel better. Our doctor said he basically just had arm fatigue, and that's not abnormal for a pitcher. He does feel better. He played long toss the other day and felt good, so hopefully it's pretty soon."
• Does bullpen usage change at all in September? "I still think I have to watch how I use them, the (number of) innings I use them, the multiple innings that I use them," Girardi said. "Robby is not a guy that I would be concerned about, if he didn't throw too many pitches, throwing three days in a row because he's done it. But I think I still have to pay attention to it."
• Here's a shot in the dark, just to see if it leads anywhere: Is there something we're missing with some of these hitters? Are some of these guys hurt and we just don't know about it? "I think guys are banged up, but I think it's normal this time of year," Girardi said. "I don't think anyone would use that as an excuse. You've played 130-or-so games. You're going to be banged up. So I wouldn't use that as an excuse."

Nova off to shaky start • 04.08.14
He allowed seven earned runs and 10 hits over 3 2/3 innings in losing to the Orioles after walking five in 5 2/3 in his first start in Houston. Nova only gave up two runs in that game and was the winner, but in this game, he couldn't minimize the damage and the Yankees ended up losing 14-5.
"I don't feel good when you pitch that way with the good spring training that I had," Nova said. "It's only the second time. I have plenty of time to fix it and get back to where I want to be."
He had a problem with his curve, and his sinker was up. Nova said he needs to get his pitches down.
"I wouldn't make too much out of two starts," Joe Girardi said. "I know it's glaring in the beginning. I know he's more than capable of turning this around and being a big-time pitcher for us."
There was a chance for Nova to get out of the first with no runs scored instead of three. But Derek Jeter couldn't reach Delmon Young's bouncing single for a double-play try.
"I know he tried the best to get the double play," Nova said. "That's the game."
Despite struggling, Nova didn't walk anyone. So Yankees starting pitchers haven't walked a batter now in five straight games.
Francisco Cervelli got his first shot at first base. He admitted he missed one foul ball that he probably should have caught. But Girardi said he was OK with his work over there.
"He passed for me," Girardi said.
So Cervelli could be another option vs. lefties with Mark Teixeira out.
Yangervis Solarte doubled twice, making the rookie third baseman the first player since 1900 with at least six doubles in the first seven games of his career.
Jacoby Ellsbury went 3 for 4 and is 12 for his last 22 after starting 0 for 7.
Alfonso Soriano hit homer No. 1 on the season and No. 407 for his career, tying Duke Snider for 50th on the all-time list.
I'll have more on Masahiro Tanaka's Wednesday night Bronx debut in the morning.

Yankees postgame: Nova super again • 07.11.13
Ivan Nova was brilliant in this 8-1 win over the Royals, one run and five hits allowed over eight, his third straight strong spot start.
"I don't remember the last time I feel the way I feel," Nova said. "I'm throwing strikes with all my pitches."
David Phelps feels good again after his slight forearm strain and should be ready to come off the DL after the All-Star break. Michael Pineda is waiting in Triple-A for his shot. The Yankees are reportedly shopping Phil Hughes. Something will have to give soon.
"Having extra starters is a good problem to have," Joe Girardi said.
Nova made an impression on Ned Yost.
"Nova was excellent," the Kansas City manager said. "He had an outstanding fastball that he kept down and his curveball was probably the best we've seen all year."
Girardi said the start "should build his confidence. Getting him back on track was really important to us."
Girardi wouldn't confirm Derek Jeter will be back playing for the Yankees Friday night barring any setback as YES' Jack Curry reported.
"We'll see where he's at," Girardi said.
Jeter may be a little rusty. The word from Moosic was that he looked shaky in the field Wednesday night. He was charged with a throwing error, leaving him at 1 for 9 with four walks over his four rehab games.
The Yankees who were actually in the Bronx were happy to score so many runs after those three straight home losses, all with only one run scored.
"I've said all along that we have to win a lot of close games," Girardi said. "We've been pretty good at it. But it's nice to win a game 8-1."
The scheduled starters for Thursday afternoon's series finale are Andy Pettitte and Ervin Santana.
Yankees postgame: Nova deserves old job back • 07.05.13
There's no room at the moment for Ivan Nova, and yet doesn't it seem like it's time to make room again in the rotation? He has been excellent since he has been back from the minors, especially in this 3-2 win over the Orioles, his first career complete game. And it came with just three hits and one walk allowed, plus 11 strikeouts.
Nova would seem to have more of an upside than David Phelps, especially if the 26-year-old righty has indeed found his old consistency that abandoned him a year ago.
The Yankees could give him a start again with just nine games to go until the All-Star break. Eventually, though, they may have to make a decision. Plus, they have such a short bench with 13 pitchers here.
Joe Girardi said: "I'm not sure exactly how we'll do it, but he'll probably start again."
Nova said he had everything working, including that mid-90s fastball, some changeups and again that great curveball.
"His curveball was about as good as I've seen a curveball from anyone," Vernon Wells said.
Nova was told along the way by a couple of teammates that the Yankees were going to win this game, and he believed it, too.
"I never thought we were going to lose," Nova said. "I was positive the whole night."
It took Baltimore's shaky closer to help shake out a couple of runs in the ninth. Jim Johnson blew his sixth save in 35 chances and dropped to 2-7. His ERA rose to 4.02. One of the two runs in the ninth was unearned thanks to Johnson's error on Brett Gardner's bunt. But David Adams helped as well, opening the ninth with a single. And Wells helped with his ground single to left to touch off the celebration.
The Yankees not only won their season-high-tying fifth straight despite struggling offensively again, but they snapped their five-game losing streak against the Orioles, improving to 4-6 against them.
"That team over there has had our number," Wells said. "They've played well against us even in the games that we've won. … We were just able to come through late (tonight). But we need to win games like that. We haven't done it enough. We were doing it early in the season. Hopefully we can get back to doing that."
Hiroki Kuroda felt good after his bullpen session and will be slotted back into the rotation if his hip flexor feels the same Saturday.
Eduardo Nunez went 3 for 3 with a walk and an RBI in his rehab game with Trenton against Reading. Besides Derek Jeter and Michael Pineda being scheduled for rehab work Saturday night with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre against visiting Lehigh Valley, Alex Rodriguez is scheduled for a rehab game Saturday night with Single-A Tampa against the Brevard County Manatees at Space Coast Stadium in Viera, Fla.

Yankees postgame: Nova throws an encouraging start • 06.23.13
Ivan Nova doesn't want to go back to Triple-A. He made a statement why he shouldn't have to in this 3-1 loss to the Rays.
The 26-year-old righty got called up for the spot start and left with two on and two outs in the seventh in a 1-1 game. He ended up being charged with three runs and seven hits. He struck seven, six with curves, walked three and hit two — both after he got the first two outs in the seventh.
"He was consistently throwing strikes," Chris Stewart said. "… Repeating his mechanics has been a problem in the past, but for the most part he was good today."
Asked if he pitched well enough to stay, Nova said, "I've got to say yes. Here is where you want to be."
Joe Girardi was happy with the effort, too. Nova made three starts after being sent down to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Girardi didn't want him languishing as a long man here. Nova sees himself as a starter, too.
Asked about whether Nova stays or goes back down, Girardi said, "I have no idea what we're going to do."
Perhaps this will turn up the pressure on Phil Hughes to start being more consistent. Hughes' next start has been pushed back to Thursday against the Rangers at the Stadium. Girardi said it's "to try to keep everyone closer to a regular turn (and) a couple of extra bullpen sessions for him."
"This is a game where you have to prove yourself over and over," Girardi said.
Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon raved about Nova.
"Their guy really settled in," Maddon said. "I don't understand why this guy struggles. I have never seen him bad. I don't know — one of the best pitchers in the world as far as I'm concerned. He gets that hook over and he's really tough on left-handers."
Boone Logan gave up a two-run, bases-loaded single to James Loney that broke the 1-1 tie in the seventh, so 10 of Logan's 28 inherited runners this season have scored.
Brett Gardner went 3 for 4, giving him at least one hit in 24 of his last 29 games and a .336 average over that stretch.
Zoilo Almonte started for Vernon Wells in left the last three games and went 6 for 10 with two doubles (both in this latest game), a homer and four RBI.

Yankees pregame: Old-Timers' Day • 06.23.13
The Old-Timers were brought out for the intros, nearly 50 of them. El Duque is among the first-time Old-Timers here. Orlando Hernandez is living in Miami, playing a lot of golf and spending time with his family, and he has a baseball academy for kids.
"It's a big day for me," he said.
His best Yankees memory?
"For me, everything is a good memory," Hernandez said. "When you play for the Yankees, everything is good."
As usual, there was a long sustained ovation, appropriately, for Bernie Williams. Whitey Ford and Yogi Berra came out last, driven in a cart from a gate in the center-field fence, waving along the way. Berra is 88 and Ford is 84.
After the Old-Timers' game, Ivan Nova will take the ball in the real game, back from Triple-A to make the spot start. Joe Girardi indicated it has yet to be decided if Nova is staying.
"Obviously when you have a taste of this life, you don't want to be in the minor leagues," Girardi said. "This is the place where every player dreams about being. So you have to figure out a way to put yourself in a situation where they can't consider sending me down. The trick is not getting here. The trick is staying here."
Thomas Neal was sent down to make room for Nova.

Nova a bright spot for Yankees, plus injury updates, Overbay situation • 05.30.13
Ivan Nova really hasn't had too many good moments since the first half of last season, but the 26-year-old righty was one of the bright lights on an otherwise dark night for the home team at Yankee Stadium Wednesday.
He was working in the long-lost game against the Mets, entering for the fifth with the Yankees trailing 8-1. He allowed just one run and five hits with six strikeouts and only one walk across the final five innings of the 9-4 loss.
"I was throwing a lot of strikes and I was aggressive," Nova said. "It's a good one."
In the eighth, he struck out the side, getting Ike Davis, Mike Baxter and Ruben Tejada swinging.
"The curveball was really good," Nova said. "Once I get ahead, I go with my curveball. That's my strikeout pitch."
Nova knows he has to prove that he's worthy of being put back in the rotation after posting a 6.48 ERA over four starts and then spending April 27 through May 23 on the DL with triceps inflammation and a back problem. He pitched into and out of a bases-loaded jam in the 10th inning and earned the win last Saturday at Tampa Bay in his first relief outing after returning. This second outing brought his ERA down from 6.11 to 5.16.
"I'm really excited about the way I'm pitching," Nova said. "The way I pitched today, I'm pretty happy with myself."
It would certainly be a boost for the Yankees if he can pitch like this consistently and regain the form when he went 16-4 as a rookie in 2011 or 10-3 in the first half last year.
Also, here's the link to my story on last night's game. The Yankees have scored just nine runs in the four-game losing streak. Here are updates on Mark Teixeira, Kevin Youkilis, Derek Jeter and Curtis Granderson. And I spoke with Lyle Overbay and he's loving his time here and wants to stay no matter what the role after Teixeira's return.

Yankees postgame: More injuries • 04.27.13
The Yankees certainly aren't having any luck in the injury department. They keep dropping. Add Ivan Nova and Francisco Cervelli to the list.
Nova left with pain around the right elbow area. Joe Girardi was still waiting for the MRI results after the game. He was under the impression the problem was in the triceps connecting to the elbow. Nova complained of a little stiffness after the second inning, but he wanted to try to go in the third. After he hit the first batter and gave up a single to the second, he was done.
"We went out there and asked him; he said he wasn't OK," Girardi said.
Cervelli only lasted five pitches. Leadoff batter Rajai Davis fouled a ball off the back of Cervelli's right hand. Surgery is set for Saturday. The catcher will be out at least six weeks.
"It's disappointing, and I know it's real disappointing to him because of all he's been through to get to this point," Girardi said.
Girardi said he'll play the catching situation by ear with Chris Stewart and Austin Romine, coming up now from Triple-A. Romine was batting .333 with a homer and four RBI in 14 games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Stewart said the 24-year-old righty hitter has "got a lot of talent. It's just a matter of getting experience up here."
Phelps would seem to be the logical choice to replace Nova, but Girardi said he wanted to wait a few days before announcing anything. Phelps had a 6.23 ERA in five outings before the game. He said he had struggled with the mentality of coming out of the bullpen, that he has been a starter basically his whole career. He said he has been better in these longer outings.
And he was good in this one, four innings, one run, two hits, nine Ks. The strikeout total was not only a career high. It was the most by a Yankees reliever since Jay Howell fanned nine over 4 2/3 in 1983. Phelps is the first Yankees pitcher to strike out at least nine in four innings or less in the Live Ball Era.
Despite all the injuries, the Yankees keep winning. They're 13-9 overall, and 12-5 since April 7.
At the postgame press conference, Girardi expressed his happiness over what this team has achieved to date.
"Injuries are part of the game," Girardi said. "It's part of life. I'm sure everyone in here can attest that life doesn't go exactly the way we want it to sometimes. But when you're able to accomplish things and go out and continue to win games, it's very satisfying. I'm proud of what these guys have done so far. We'll keep fighting and we'll keep finding ways."
Toronto, meanwhile, has found ways to go 9-15, probably the biggest disappointment in baseball so far after all its acquisitions.
"I'd say that we're just not playing good enough to win right now," manager John Gibbons said.
Yankees pregame: Eyes on Nova; Wang in wings? • 04.26.13
Ivan Nova has a power arm and he's only 26, but at some point the Yankees' patience is going to have to run out if he doesn't start showing some consistency again and if a viable alternative emerges. By the way, Chien-Ming Wang is 1-1 with a 0.75 ERA after two starts at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
"I'm not looking to make a change," Joe Girardi said. "Our organization isn't looking to make a change. We want to get guys going."
When Nova steps on the mound tonight against the Blue Jays, he will bring along a 6.14 ERA and a 1-1 record constructed over three starts. He was 2-5 with a 7.05 ERA over 11 post-All-Star-break starts last year after going 10-3 with a 3.92 ERA in 18 pre-break starts and 16-4 with a 3.70 ERA in 2011. Girardi isn't questioning now if Nova will ever be the same.
"I believe in my heart that he has the ability to do that, to get back to that," Girardi said. "So I'm not at that point. I don't really have a date that I would be at that point, because I believe in our guys and I believe in him. I've seen him do it. I've seen him be dominant at times. We just have to find the formula to get him back there."
Girardi emphasized that Wang was signed during spring training for depth. The 33-year-old righty has been through some major injuries since his great years for the Yankees. He gave up three runs, only one of them earned, and four hits over 6 2/3 in a loss to Columbus Thursday after allowing no runs and six hits over 5 1/3 in a win over Syracuse in his first start last Saturday.
"I'd probably take it seriously when I hear reports that are glowing reports that he's throwing the ball really well," Girardi said. "I don't think you can make too much out of two starts. I think you have to see how a guy responds start after start after start, going every fifth day. But we've all seen him pitch at a very high level. If he can get back to close to that, he becomes a viable option for us."
Kevin Youkilis is still not a viable option to be in the starting lineup. This will be his sixth straight game sitting at the start because of lower back tightness.
"He's better," Girardi said. "He's still not quite there. We'll shoot for tomorrow."
It's getting to the point where the Yankees could think about the DL if the progress stalls.
"It's been a week now," Girardi said. "So I think you look and see where he's at tomorrow and then you make a decision what you're going to do and when you think you're going to get him back.
"They don't think it's an issue where he needs a test. Keep our fingers crossed for tomorrow."

As part of the Energy Department's efforts to help homeowners and businesses save money by saving energy, the Department announced today a $9 million investment in leading-edge building envelope technologies, including high-efficiency, high-performance windows, roofs and heating and cooling equipment. As winter temperatures set in for much of the United States, the Energy Department this week is also highlighting easy ways consumers can lower their heating bills on
"A typical American family spends nearly $2,000 per year on their home energy bills, and much of that money is wasted on air leaks and drafts in our homes' roofs, attics and walls. By bringing new, affordable energy efficient products to the market, we can help families save money by saving energy, while strengthening U.S. manufacturing leadership in technologies that are increasingly in demand worldwide," said Energy Secretary Steven Chu.
This new investment supports six advanced manufacturing projects in California, Connecticut, Idaho, Maryland, Missouri and Tennessee that advance whole home energy performance. This includes:
· about $6.5 million in four projects to develop highly-efficient, cost-effective heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems; and
· about $3 million to two projects that focus on building envelope materials.
For example, St. Louis, Mo.-based Unico will receive $2 million to develop a cold climate heat pump with a variable speed compressor that will maintain capacity and efficiency even at very low temperatures. The University of Idaho will design and demonstrate a roof sandwich panel that uses foam material to increase building thermal efficiency and helps reduce construction costs by 25 percent. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory will develop and test highly insulated, easy-to-install windows that use automated shading that can capture or repel heat depending on the season.
While U.S. energy use per capita was fairly consistent from 1990 to 2007, building improvements in efficiency for space heating and air conditioning have helped achieve a reduction in the last five years. Nearly 60 percent of homes now feature energy-efficient, multi-pane windows – up from 36 percent in 1993. About 40 million households have used caulking or weather-stripping to seal air leaks and drafts and 26 million have added insulation. The U.S. Energy Information Administration expects that energy use per capita will continue to fall by an additional 15 percent through 2040.
Additional improvements are needed. In a typical residential or commercial building, about 42 percent of energy is lost through doors, roofs, attics, walls, floors and foundations – known collectively as the building envelope. In the winter months, windows can account for 10 to 25 percent of a home's utility bill through heat loss. The projects announced today will help bring new, affordable technologies to market that address these opportunities for improved building performance and cost savings.
Learn more about these projects here and find additional information on how the Energy Department is helping American homes and businesses save money by saving energy at EnergySaver.gov and through the Buildings Technologies Program.

Overwhelmed? Find a "happy place": In your home, a park bench, library—somewhere you can retreat to when you need to get away.
The editor of HBS Working Knowledge, Sean Silverthorne, talks to Harvard Business School professor William George about looking to the East as a model for developing strong business leaders in the West.
Instead of the usual top-down way of leading, says author Michael Carroll, the best leaders work from the inside out, opening themselves to others and sharing what inspires them.
Dr. Ellen Langer wants to see less mindlessness and more mindfulness in our corporate leaders. Here she discusses how mindfulness can dramatically change the quality of leadership and improve the productivity of those being led.
When life leads us into disagreements and conflicts, as it inevitably does, we need a way to reach our goals without creating unnecessary harm. James Gimian and Barry Boyce show us how we can use the principles of Sun Tzu's Art of War to work skillfully with the underlying energies that give rise to effective action.

Flavorpill Book Club: Cheryl Strayed Answers Your Questions
Last month, as part of our newly refurbished Flavorpill Book Club, we suggested that you join us (and let's face it, pretty much everyone we know) in reading Wild, author and Dear Sugar columnist Cheryl Strayed's phenomenal new memoir about her experiences hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. We collected your posted and emailed questions (and added a few of our own) and sent them off to Cheryl, who has graciously answered them below, with as much searing honesty and wisdom as we've come to expect from everything she writes. Click through to check out our reader-sourced interview with this fantastic author, and if you haven't read the book yet, we highly suggest you pick up a copy. … Read More
Flavorpill Book Club: Cheryl Strayed's 'Wild'
It seems like everyone in the Flavorpill office (and quite a few of our friends outside of it) is reading Cheryl Strayed's recently released memoir Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail, a quick-paced, unputdownable story about grief, self-actualization, and a 26-year-old woman hiking through the wilderness for three months, all on her own. Even the people who don't like the outdoors — or memoirs, for that matter — are loving it. So it seemed like a no-brainer to pick the book as the second installment in the official Flavorpill Book Club, where we'll be reading and recommending great books, and opening up the conversation to all comers as any good book club should. So, here's what you do: pick up a copy of Wild, read it, and then if you have a question for Cheryl or an insight to share with the group, leave it as a comment here or send an email to tips [at] flavorpill [dot] com. We'll be emailing her our favorite questions at the end of the month, and featuring her responses, along with any choice bits of commentary from you guys, in a followup post. … Read More

So here's how this is going to work: Click through to read more about why this is the book all of your friends will be talking about this summer. Go out and buy a copy of the book. Read it.

PANTA REI / EVERYTHING FLOWS (2008) is a mechanical candle making installation. A simple configuration of familiar elements; string, eyelets, buckets, heaters, wax and a motorised CAM arm. As the arm turns on the ceiling, one by one, lengths of wick are lowered into buckets of molten blue wax, building up a thin layer each time. A candle slowly emerges.
The work is part performance, part production process; a web of strings in a constantly evolving cycle of geometry on the ceiling, methodically raising and lowering wicks in a wave-like motion. When a complete harvest is formed, a fresh batch of wicks can begin.

In 2 days I have had 4 different telesales people call. At dinnertime, at bathtime, when the phone was hidden under a pile of stuff and I raced to find it before it rang off...you get the picture. And each and every person asked for The Arse.
Listen you bloody incompetent morons: The Arse has not lived here for more than 10 months! In the UK, our data protection laws mean that you should not be using data that is more than 6 months old...So why are you blowing up my phone and bringing his name into my home? I'm glad that you go all shamefaced when I tell you exactly why you can't speak to him. I'm glad that you feel uncomfortable, after all, you cold callers are the home invaders of the communication world. And while it's good that you have enough manners to apologise leave me alone!
End of rant
But ouch, I don't want his name being spoken here & especially not by total strangers who want to sell something.

Took a while, but I like the me I am, without him

Hmmmm...maybe if I start saving up my ducats (and get SWMBO's permission) I could make it. Minneapolis is kinda far from Richmond, VA (current base of operations), but a nice beer-soaked vacation would be nice.
On the mead front, it's hangin' out in a closet in the basement, airlock attached so it can off-gas, cinnamon oil added in. I'll give it a check in a couple months to see what the cinnamon and aging has done for it.
Should I rack it another time to get it off the cinnamon oil when it's absorbed enough?
EDIT: Guess I should change "Location" in my profile...DONE
I'd only rack the mead if the lees get thick- say 1/4" or so after 60 days.
There are no lees. The mead cleared completely a few weeks ago, and now it's just batch aging with the cinnamon oil. My concern is that the oil will have negative effects if left on too much. Are my concerns warranted?
No, cinnamon oil is the oil extracted from cinnamon bark. It doesn't dissolve, but instead floats on top (like the oil and water experiment you did in elementary school). The cinnamon flavor and aroma are easily absorbed into the mead, but the oil still stays on top. When I bottle I don't want to leave an oil slick in each bottle.
There have been other threads on using olive oil instead of aerating, and I wondered if the cinnamon oil would oxygenate my mead like olive oil would.
The addition of olive oil in a fermentation doesn't oxygenate (or oxidize) it. Rather, it provides the lipids that yeast would have to otherwise synthesize on their own - and they need some oxygen to be able to do that. I don't think you need to worry about oxidizing your mead, but depending on what exactly is in that cinnamon oil, you might get some off flavors if the oil itself goes rancid (i.e. oxidizes) while floating on top of the liquid.

Wordsworth Editions, 1999 - History - 224 pages
Hannibal had long known his fate should the Romans ever lay hands upon him. He had taken an army right through Spain and into what is now France, crossed the Alps (at a time of year when no one believed it possible), and invaded Italy. Then, for 15 years, he used the country as his battlefield and his home, destroying Roman armies with an almost contemptuous ease. For centuries after his death, Roman mothers would frighten their children into behaving by telling them: Hannibal is at the Gates!

The image, which has since been censored by Google, shows the couple bent over the hood of a silver sedan alongside the Dukes Highway outside the town of Keith in South Australia state.
The man has his shorts down; the woman appears to be waving to the Street View car as it passes.
A user on the social media site Reddit first posted the image, with Australian news outlets concluding the steamy scene was probably posed.
Another user, benxology, claimed the couple was "me and my missus".
We saw the Google car on the way to Adelaide a couple of years ago. I sped up, overtook the car then posed with a Corona (beer) in hand," he said.

Nerve pain caused by diabetes, called diabetic peripheral neuropathy, can be severe, constant, and difficult to treat. It may start as a tingling sensation, followed by numbness and pain. But there are two key points that everyone with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy should know:
- Controlling your blood sugar levels can help prevent worsening nerve pain and improve your overall health at the same time.
- Medications can help relieve nerve pain, make you more comfortable, and improve your quality of life.
The single most important factor in preventing neuropathy, slowing its progress once you have it, and relieving many symptoms, is better glucose control, experts say.
If you have diabetes and peripheral neuropathy, talk to your doctor about ways to better control your blood sugar, including the possibility you may need to take insulin for better control.
Once you are doing all that you can to keep blood sugar levels under control -- including diet, meal planning, exercise, and medication -- you should assess with your doctor which pain medication is best to relieve your remaining symptoms.
Fortunately, medications can help relieve nerve pain from peripheral neuropathy so you can function at near-normal levels. You have many pain relief drugs from which to choose. But you may need to try several different types of pain relievers before you find the one that helps you.
Over-the-Counter Pain Relievers for Diabetes Nerve Pain
Some people find relief for mild diabetes nerve pain right on their drug store shelves. Common pain relievers and some topical creams may help, depending on the severity of pain.
Anyone with diabetes should talk to his or her doctor before taking any medication. Even over-the-counter medications can interact with other drugs or cause severe side effects in people with diabetes.
Here are some over-the-counter pain relief options to consider:
NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). These medicines reduce inflammation and relieve pain. NSAIDs available without a prescription include aspirin, ibuprofen ( Advil, Motrin), and naproxen ( Aleve).
But NSAIDs can cause harmful side effects such as stomach irritation and bleeding in some people if taken for weeks or months. When taken long-term they can also lead to kidney and liver damage, which may be more likely in people with diabetes.

Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Urgent need to protect the Himalayan region and its communities
1. The Himalayas are not just a mere range of mountains, but the source of our very existence and survival. They are the source of some of the largest river-systems and basins in the world, which provides our country with 60% of its water requirement. 2. Himalayan region contains the great Indo-Gangetic alluvial plain which is known as the 'grain basket of South Asia'. Their thick forests have been able to reduce carbon emissions by over 20%, being a key factor in mitigating and controlling climate change. 3. Himalayas is the reason why we have been getting our bountiful monsoons every year on which the survival of the rest of India depends. It is home to several unique flora and fauna including aquatic life like the Gangetic Dolphins which cannot be found anywhere else in the world. 4. Himalayan region contains states of diverse cultures and communities. This is one of the few places where culturally diverse communities live with their lives and livelihood intricately woven with nature.The Himalayas is the crown beauty of our nation and gives us Indians our spiritual strength.

A Crèche In Your Office Too
15 years ago, I was one of them. I had to choose between full-time work and my daughter. Needless to say, I chose my daughter and was a stay-at-home mother for 5 years. These hard choices need to end. The modern Indian workplace, rather than force women to choose between work and children, needs to keep pace with the changing roles of women. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2PuAAPYI2Y&feature=youtu.be This will only happen if your Ministry makes it mandatory for every establishment with 20 or more women workers to set up and maintain a crèche for children under the age of six. The good part is that you don't have to start something new because the groundwork for this is already in place. The Rajiv Gandhi National Crèche Scheme for Children of Working Mothers currently covers tribal, rural and urban children across 449 districts. And in 2013, the Ministry of Women and Child Development – now your ministry – passed a resolution (No. 16-1/2012-CW-I) to "provide and promote crèche and day care facilities for children of working mothers, mothers belonging to poor families, ailing mothers and single parents." This is laudable. But if a crèche facility is mandatory for factories, plantations and beedi and cigar workers, what is stopping the government from making it mandatory for private companies? Day-care at the workplace will change the lives of millions of working women. It will be great for children. It will reduce pressure on the family to provide childcare while parents go to work. And because a happy workplace is a productive workplace, it will be good for the companies too. On behalf of every working mother who stopped working for want of access to day-care, I ask you to use your mandate and turn your Ministry's resolution into law. There are many things we must do to level the playing field, but let's start here.

Save 10,000 acres of forests in Nelliyampathis
Nelliyampathy , home to endangered species , Lion Tailed macaque, Nilgiri tahr , Nilgiri marten, Hornbill, Nilgiri langur , has one of the richest tropical wet evergreen forests of Western Ghats. Nelliyampathy is located on the south of the Palghat gap and had been under the grip of powerful estate owners since independence. The Nelliyampathy forest area is part of the buffer zone of Parambikulam Sanctuary (western and northern boundaries) . It is also one of the critical habitat of Tiger, Leopards and other carnivores. The density of population of Lion tailed macaque is the highest in Nelliyampathy (much more than Silent Valley ). Karuna estate belongs to the Poabs group which has the highest stake of quarrying in Kerala and is the producer of m-sand . Once these beautiful hills are given away to Karuna estates, quarrying would become the order of the day.The environment assessment done during the time frame 1990-96, reports that 834 acre Karuna plantations alone had logged over 5000 trees from the land. The same report also mentions that the actual data of logging would be many times higher than the data by Kerala Forest department. Like Karuna, there are other estates who have filed similar cases for land acquisition. Any lapse in Karuna case would weaken remaining cases which would put 10,000 acres of forest land at stake . Nelliampathy Hill tract has catchment area of Pothundy, Meenkara, Chulliyar, Karappara Puzha, Bharathapuzha, MangalamPuzha and Athirappilly river which provides water security to lakhs of farmers in Palakkad and Trichur districts. Giving away Karuna estates would mean opening up the hills of Nelliyampathy to powerful estate owners of Kerala for timber logging and quarrying. It is your choice to sign this petition and ensure Nelliyampathy is saved.

Wedding Anniversary gifts
Our wedding anniversary is coming up in 2 weeks.. and i want to gift my husband something unique.He really loves wine... Any thoughts ?
You could plan a trip - even if only 50 miles away - to a wine store he hasn't been to. You could certainly have other activities like lunch or a hotel or whatever. But the new wine shop would be the hallmark.
You could get a bottle of wine that makes you think of a certain time or place, like where you met or were married.
You could take the description of a particular wine and use that to describe your marriage. Compare the tannins in the wine to what seemed like a hard time in your marriage, but a point that really shaped who you are as a couple and has made you stronger, etc., - OK, he'd have to enjoy wine description and have a certain poetic sence to enjoy that one, I must admit, but it could be fantastic.
Find out if there are any wineries near enough to your home to drive to. If so, you could plan a day trip to visit some of them. Bring a picnic lunch and buy a bottle of wine at one of the wineries you visit to drink with it. Many wineries have picnic areas or outdoor seating. Most give tours and all of them give tastings, either for free or for a low cost.
I live in Texas and a group of girlfriends and I did this about a year ago. We visited about 6 wineries in one day. It was loads of fun.
Buy him a wine storage unit if you have someplace to put it. Either a wine fridge or a wine rack. Either one that hangs on a wall or that is a piece of furniture.
This is what my husband and I do every year...an example follows. There are traditional gifts for each anniversary year and several websites have complete lists.
Here is a link that might be useful: Anniversary Gifts by Year

Jittery UAE banks reach for lifeline
And others in the region may follow. "It's as close as this place comes to a reality check," says one analyst.
September 23, 2008 12:31 by kippreport
Scott MacMillan
As Kuwait signals it may copy the UAE's central bank's move to provide a lifeline to local banks by injecting more liquidity into its financial system, forgive us for echoing the characters in the Star Wars movies who say, whenever things are about to take a turn for the worse, "I have a bad feeling about this."
As we pointed out yesterday, quoting Standard Chartered, maintaining economic equilibrium in the Gulf will be a difficult needle to thread with the global financial system in all out panic mode. A sudden lack of liquidity, after all, is not the only problem. Also of increasing concern to cautious bankers – and the point is that not all bankers are necessarily cautious – is the Gulf's soaring credit growth.
Not to mention the greatest bugbear to stalk the UAE economy: double-digit inflation. Putting more money into the system is not likely to help the UAE central bank keep inflation at its stated target of 5 percent, which one can flatly say looks unrealistic at this stage.
Journalist Sonia Verma, writing from Dubai in Toronto's Globe and Mail and London's Times, seems to have been the first to make the link between the central bank's cash injection and a perceived need to maintain the region's property boom.
The UAE sudden liquidity crisis was caused, in part, not just by international credit drying up, but by soaring growth in domestic loans. Borrowers have used many of these loans to buy property. Even loans categorized by banks as personal loans rather than mortgages are often used to make down payments on properties, making it difficult to see local banks' true exposure to the property market.
Recall, in that context, yesterday's prediction that house prices in Dubai would fall some 20 percent by 2011. It should be noted that wouldn't be as great a shock as it might initially appear, especially if, as many expect, prices rise far more than 20 percent between now and then.
Even so, headlines predicting the housing bubble will burst, or at least moderately deflate, are increasingly appearing in Dubai media. In a market partly driven by speculation, as Dubai's is, perception can quickly become reality. One can't blame bankers for being nervous given what has happened in the US.
Kipp is also probably not the first to read sinister economic motives in Dubai's continuing effort to force middle-income families and single bachelors (and bachelorettes) out of shares villas and flats. One would be forgiven for thinking somebody out there wants housing to remain dear.
Bahrain's Gulf Daily News notes that UAE "has become the first regional country to show signs that it may be facing a liquidity problem in its financial system," implying that others may follow, although Bahrain's central bank says everything is fine there.
In Kuwait, the papers say banks have been asking for help from the central bank, which has responded by saying it is ready to take "to provide any local banking institutions with the necessary liquidity if there is a need for that."
The Globe and Mail quotes an unnamed analyst who works closely with a prominent Dubai developer. He says the mood on the property market remains tense even following the liquidity injection. "It's as close as this place comes to a reality check."
