Last winter we caulked the cracks in the tablature (the wall in the plaza) to prevent water from entering the structure. We now know that this did not work as well as planned and the cracks are back and getting bigger.
We are looking into solutions to fix this problem without it costing hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair. If any parishioner has any ideas that maybe we did not look into, please contact the rectory as soon as possible.

St. Gerard was born in Muro, a small town in the South of Italy on April 6, 1726. He was the only son of Benedetta and Comenico Maiella who already had three daughters. Because of his frail health he was not immediately accepted into the Order but, due to his insistence and persistence he was finally accepted in May of 1749 and became a lay brother of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer. He was a model of obedience and in everything he sought the Will of God.
On Saturday, September 22nd, 2012 at 10 am we are celebrating Mass for the 25th Anniversary of Ordination to the Episcopacy of our Archbishop Jogn Joseph Myers at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart.
At Archbishop Gerety's recent 100th Birthday Thanksgiving Mass, Archbishop Myers quoted St. Augustine: "I am a Bishop for you. I am a Christian like you."
Pax Christi USA strives to create a world that reflects the Peace of Christ by exploring, articulating, and witnessing to the call of Christian nonviolence. This work begins in personal life and extends to communities of reflection and action to transform structures of society. Pax Christi USA rejects war, preparations for war, and every form of violence and domination. It advocates primacy of conscience, economic and social justice, and respect for creation.
34 years ago Msgr. Oscar Arnulfo Romero, then archbishop of San Salvador, was shot to death while celebrating Mass in a hospital. His only "crimes" were to denounce the violence in El Salvador and to share the suffering of the needy. For all the members of Pax Christi here, Romero is an example to follow.

Our Chapel got its start in January of 1998 when two young women of the parish petitioned Msgr. Granato to start a Chapel at St. Lucy's. Msgr. told them he would set up a chapel but they would have to come up with two people for every hour of the week. Maria (34) and Lissette(26) just smiled and went to work. It took them three months to put a list together with enough names to satisfy Msgr. Granato.

This is a continuation of co-pending applicaton Ser. No. 714,450 filed on Mar. 21, 1985, and now abandoned.
This invention relates to a filler for a cat box and to the method of producing the filler.
Cat box filler is a household commodity known to the vast majority of cat owners. It is used in the cat's litterbox and serves to absorb excrement and eliminate odors. Previous litterbox fillers were formed of naturally occuring absorbent materials such as clay and alfalfa. Other materials which were utilized as fillers included wood chips, sawdust, sand, peanut shells, rice hulls, pelletized grass, grain fibers and shredded paper or cardboard. The problems with these materials were low absorbency and lack of odor control. Also, the particles were easily fugitive. One such paper product is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,263,873.
The filler of this invention can be formed from many types of plant fiber. Generally, the fiber is from trees, sugar beets, sugar cane, citrus pulp, potatoes, grains (such as grass, rice, corn, wheat, etc.) or cotton. The preferred material is derived from primary or secondary wood pulp or sludge, citrus pulp or sugar cane. More specifically, such material is derived from a sulfate or sulfite pulp or primary paper sludge. Chemicals and/or minerals are added prior to drying to give the raw material the appearance and general physical properties of a clay-based filler. The method allows the formation of a cat box filler of high absorbency which controls odor in the cat box and which resembles a clay-based filler. Also, it is virtually dustless and may be incinerated for fast disposal. Furthermore, the method of this invention allows the formation of a filler which resembles a clay-base filler in substantially all respects and allows accurate control of granule size, color, density and other physical properties.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide for a novel filler material which is for a cat litter box.
Another object of this invention is to provide a cat box filler which is economical to produce, dustless, and easy to dispose of.
Another object of this invention is to provide for a paper-based cat box filler which resembles a clay-based filler.
Another object of this invention is to provide for a cat box filler which has excellent physical properties.
Another object of this invention is to provide for a novel method of producing cat box filler.
Still another object of this invention is to provide for a method of producing cat box filler which allows accurate control of the physical properties of the filler.
Other objects of this invention will become apparent upon a reading of the following description.
The preferred product and method herein described is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form or steps described. They are chosen and described to explain the principles of the invention and its application and practical use to enable others skilled in the art to utilize the invention.
An understanding of the filler product of this invention may be obtained by following the procedures below disclosed. The primary material utilized is the waste material from paper manufacture, commonly referred to as paper sludge. Other slurries of plant fibrous materials such as sugar beet, sugar cane, citrus pulp, grain, and potato may be used. There are three basic types of paper sludge, namely, Primary Process, Primary De-Inked and Secondary De-Inked. For cat box filler, the preferred sludge is primary process or primary de-linked sludge, but more specifically is primary process sludge which is the waste material from the manufacture of a sulfate or sulfite based paper having a content of about 75%-99% fiber and 1%-25% filler (kaolin/barytes, titanium dioxide, other plant fibers, etc.) De-inked sludge is the primary waste material from the manufacture of recycled paper such as old newsprint or packaging materials and has a content of 40%-80% fiber and 20%-60% filler. Essentially, the same method is used to treat both types of sludge to form an end product.
In its raw form, paper sludge is approximately 90%-99% water. The raw sludge or slurry is analyzed for composition and bacteria, then dewatered by any accepted method (usually pressing or centrifuging) until it contains approximately 40%-50% solids, with 45% solids being preferred. In this dewatered stage, the paper sludge fiber is broken down or shreded by any conventional method (such as by a delumper, reduction mill or shredder) to a fiber length of 1 mm-10 mm. The preferred equipment is a Fitzpatrick Mill, with the preferred fiber length being 1 mm-4 mm. The sludge or slurry then undergoes a quality adjustment which generally involves the addition of additives, such as dye, titanium dioxide, or barytes to adjust the color, such as a biocide or slimacide to control bacterial and fungal growth, such as kaolin clay or barytes to increase density and such as a fragrance to counteract excrement odors.
The biocide or slimacide is generally formed of one of the following: quaternary ammonium salts, aldehyde derivatives, halogenated styrenes, thiocyanates, carbamates, azo chlorides and modified phenols. Preferred are halogenated styrenes and thiocyanates, specifically a mixture of bromonitrostyrene and methylene bisthiocyanate, such as Slime-Trol� RX-41 sold by Betz Paperchem, Inc.
After the quality adjustment, the sludge or slurry is agglomerated or granulated by any standard method such as by drum pelletizer, disk pelletizer, pinmill, extruder or granulator, and formed into spherical pellets or, the preferred, granule shape. Should spherical pellets be formed they are flattened by a standard compaction device. The product is then dried until the sludge or slurry contains 1%-10% moisture, by weight. The dying is accomplished in any standard dryer such as a fluid bed dryer, turbo dryer, belt dryer or tray dryer at a temperature range of 200�-750� F. After drying, additional fragrance or color may be added and the product is then packaged and sold as a cat box filler or similar product.
To better understand the process and product, the following examples are submitted:
De-inked sludge from Ft. Howard Paper Company containing 35-40% solids was found to contain 45.3% fiber and 54.7% filler, the fillers being titanium dioxide and kaolin clay. The material was analyzed by Environmental Services Institute for heavy metals and pesticides. The sludge was then dried in an oven at 250� F. until the sludge contained 55% solids and 45% moisture. The sludge was then placed in an Eirich high intensity mixer at 45% water and 55% solids for size reduction or shredding. After shredding, water was added, and the sludge was then placed in a drum pelletizer at 49% moisture to effect granule formation. The granule shaped sludge was then oven dried at 250� F. until the final moisture content was approximately 2.21%. The material was then screened to 6/60 mesh particle size. A biocide was then sprayed on the material at 500 parts per million to control bacteria. An herbal fragrance from Bell-Synfleur was added at the rate of 1.5 lbs. per ton for odor control. A green dye was sprayed on the material for visual effect. The physical properties of the finished material were then tested and found to be as follows:
______________________________________US MESH % RETAINED______________________________________ 6 4.25 8 15.44 Bulk Density - 44.9 lbs/cft12 26.17 H2 O Abs - 58%20 48.28 Oil Abs - 36.6%30 5.01 Moisture - 2.21%40 .8360 .02less than 60 --______________________________________
A primary process sulfite based sludge from Great Northern Tissue Company was found to contain 27% solids and 73% water. The sludge was found to contain 73.2% fiber and 26.8% kaolin clay filler. The material was sent to Environmental Services Institute for analysis of heavy metals and pesticides. The sludge then underwent a primary size reduction by a Franklin Miller Delumper at 73% moisture level. A secondary size reduction was then carried out in a Fitzpatrick Fitzmill at 68% moisture. The sludge was then formed into granules in a Mars Mineral disk pelletizer with additions of 4% bentonite and/or water and a 50% solution of calcium lignosulfonate for controlling the bulk density and absorbtion. The granules were then dried in a Carrier fluid bed dryer with a three temperature zone (500�-250�-100� F.), to a 5%�2% moisture level. The dryer also acts as an air classifier resulting in a 6/60 mesh size product. The physical properties of the sludge were then tested and found to be as follows:
______________________________________US MESH % RETAINED______________________________________ 6 24.37 8 26.18 Initial Bulk Density - 14.31 lbs/cft12 22.01 Final Bulk Density - 28 lbs/cft20 25.34 Moisture - 5.78%30 1.47 H2 O Abs - 146%40 .33 Oil Abs - 118.5%60 .20less than 60 .10______________________________________
Primary process sulfate based sludge from Boise Cascade Paper Company was found to contain 49% solids and 51% water. The sludge was found to contain 56.6% fiber and 43.4% titanium dioxide and kaolin clay fillers. The material was sent to Environmental Services Institute for analysis of heavy metals and pesticides. A size reduction was conducted in an Eirich high intensity mixer at 51% moisture. The material was then placed in a drum pelletized with added water for granule formation at 59.8% moisture. A biocide (Slimetrol� RX41 from Betz Paperchem, Inc.) was added in during pellet formation. The material was then oven dried at 250� F. until the moisture level was approximately 2%. Odor coated agents were then added at the rate of 2 lbs. per ton. The odor agents were a mint fragrance. Physical properties of the material were then examined and found to be as follows:
______________________________________US MESH % RETAINED______________________________________ 6 8.15 8 20.57 Bulk Density - 27.05 lbs/ft312 29.80 Water Absorbency - 88.0%20 38.41 Oil Absorbency - 47.03%30 2.70 Moisture Content - 1.81%40 0.2760 0.04less than 60 0.05______________________________________
The filler was then packaged and tested in a cat litter box. The filler demonstrated adequate absorbency and controlled odor throughout the 14 day study.
Obviously, other sludge products may require varying the above procedure by changing the concentrations and/or time parameters involved in treating the sludge, depending on the initial physical sludge properties. Biocides may also be applied to the dry finished product to increase bacterial control, depending on the initial sludge analysis. Also, a pesticide such as dichlorvos may be incorporated into the filler to control fleas and other pests.
It is to be understood that the above description does not limit the invention, but may be modified within the scope of the appended claims.

Looks great thank you so much

It seems to be good quality. A few of the pieces were a little bent on arrival. The instructions suck. I cannot believe they sell all of these units and probably take 5 minutes to complete the obstruction page. Frustrating.

I like the looks of my grille. It was a little more difficult to install than the directions said but it works. I had a problem with the plastic washers but after a call to E&G, a tech sent different clips and they worked great.

Ryan Braun Rumors
Quick Hits: Tigers, Bailey, Braun
Links for Wednesday night, as we wonder which team won the rights to negotiate a contract with Yu Darvish…
- The chances of Jimmy Rollins signing with the Tigers seem incredibly thin, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (on Twitter).
- GM Dave Dombrowski said the Tigers had "minimal" discussions with Aramis Ramirez's representatives, Chris Iott MLive.com reports. The Tigers did not make the third baseman a formal offer before the Brewers signed him.
- Athletics closer Andrew Bailey admits that he doesn't know where he'll be pitching next year, but the trade candidate sounds prepared for the possibility that he'll be dealt before Opening Day, as Scott Lauber of the Boston Herald writes. Bailey grew up on the East Coast and says he has an understanding of what it would be like to pitch for a team like the Red Sox.
- Brewers GM Doug Melvin says he's moving forward under the assumption that Ryan Braun will be in the lineup next year, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports. The Brewers are doing "business as normal," though Braun tested positive for a banned substance and faces a possible 50-game suspension.

Brewers Notes: Ramirez, Gamel, Green, Braun
GM Doug Melvin confirmed this evening that the Brewers won't bid on free agent first baseman Prince Fielder. Here are more details on the Brewers, who agreed to terms with Aramis Ramirez and obtained Jose Veras for Casey McGehee today…
- The Brewers have already committed more than expected to the 2012 payroll, according to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (Twitter links). "We've stretched it well beyond where we wanted to go," Melvin said.
- The Brewers will proceed with Mat Gamel at first base and they also intend to give infield prospect Taylor Green a chance to make a contribution in the Major Leagues in 2012, Haudricourt reports (Twitter links). The Brewers won't sign a prominent free agent first baseman this offseason.
- Melvin declined to comment on the possibility that Ryan Braun will miss 50 games in 2012, Haudricourt notes. The 2011 NL MVP tested positive for a banned substance and may face a lengthy suspension.
- Ramirez is a reasonable solution for the Brewers, but they'll likely need more to repeat as division champions in 2012, ESPN.com's Keith Law writes.

Ryan Braun Tested Positive For Prohibited Substance
5:21pm: According to a source familiar with the case, Braun's original test for performance-enhancing drugs was "insanely high, the highest ever for anyone who has ever taken a test, twice the level of the highest test ever taken," writes Teri Thompson of the New York Daily News.
3:55pm: Yahoo's Jeff Passan reports (in these five Twitter links) that baseball's new CBA contains a provision stating that if a player tests positive for a banned substance, the drug will be publicly announced. The Players' Union could contest the announcement, as Braun's test was conducted under the old CBA, which prevented that information from becoming public. Experts say that false positives are nearly impossible under the carbon-isotope testing performed by WADA. His source also confirmed that MLB has never lost an arbitration case with PEDs. Ultimately, Passan says it's unlikely Braun's appeal will stand, and we'll probably learn which substance Braun tested for.
SUNDAY, 11:50am: Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports hears from a source that Braun tested positive for a prohibited substance, not a performance-enhancing drug (Twitter link). Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was told the same thing, with his source saying there's "never" been a result like this since MLB's drug testing program began.
SATURDAY, 6:46pm: Reigning NL MVP Ryan Braun has tested positive for a performance-enchancing drug, reports Mark Fainaru-Wada and T.J. Quinn of ESPN. YokalSports.com was the first to report the news (on Twitter). Braun is facing a 50-game suspension and is disputing the positive test through arbitration.
"There are highly unusual circumstances surrounding this case which will support Ryan's complete innocence and demonstrate there was absolutely no intentional violation of the program," said a spokesman for Braun in a statement. "While Ryan has impeccable character and no previous history, unfortunately, because of the process we have to maintain confidentiality and are not able to discuss it any further, but we are confident he will ultimately be exonerated."
Braun, 28, was tested during the playoffs and notified of the positive result in late-October. Elevated levels of testosterone in Braun's system triggered the positive test, which prompted MLB to ask the testing agency to perform a second test. The second test determined that the testosterone was exogenous, meaning it was produced outside of Braun's body.
Tyler Barnes, a spokesperson for the Brewers, said the team had no knowledge of the positive test and had not yet been contacted by the commissioner's office. Fainaru-Wade and Quinn say that Braun has told those close to him that he did not knowingly take an illegal substance and hopes the arbitration process proves his innocence. No player has ever successfully appealed a positive PED test.
The Brewers signed Braun to a five-year contract extension worth $105MM back in April, which will keep him in Milwaukee through 2020. He led the Brewers to the NL Central crown and took home MVP honors by hitting .332/.397/.597 with 33 homers and 33 steals this past season. It was his fourth 30+ homer season in his five years as a big leaguer.
Guillermo Mota, J.C. Romero, Edinson Volquez, and Manny Ramirez have been suspended 50 games for failed PED tests under MLB's current drug policy.

NL Central Notes: Brewers, Aramis, Braun, Pirates
Newsday's Ken Davidoff shares his winners and losers of the Winter Meetings, with a twist — he includes winners with downside and losers with upside. The Cardinals top the latter list, as Davidoff notes that losing Albert Pujols means they're "liberated of an albatross contract." Here are a few more Sunday morning NL Central links:
- The Brewers are still talking to Aramis Ramirez, tweets Jon Heyman of MLB Network. The Brewers appeared to be favorites for Ramirez, with the Phillies' interest fading and the Angels having spent their money elsewhere. However, Francisco Rodriguez's acceptance of arbitration may impact Milwaukee's pursuit of the third baseman.
- In light of Ryan Braun's positive PED test, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports explains why MLB will never be as clean as the league would like.
- There's a lot at stake for Braun, the Brewers, and the league, says Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, who received a text message from Braun saying the positive test was "B.S."
- Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review recognizes the Marlins' strategy of significantly boosting payroll as they begin playing in a new stadium. As Biertempfel writes, the Pirates tried the same thing when they moved into PNC Park ten years ago, albeit with less impressive signings.

Ryan Braun Wins NL MVP
Ryan Braun won the 2011 NL MVP, according to the Baseball Writers Association of America. The 28-year-old becomes the third Brewer to be named MVP, joining Rollie Fingers and Robin Yount. Braun hit 33 homers, stole 33 bases, drove in 111 runs and posted a .332/.397/.597 line for a league-leading .994 OPS in 2011.
Braun obtained 20 of a possible 32 first-place votes to win the award over Matt Kemp, teammate Prince Fielder and Justin Upton. Albert Pujols, Joey Votto, Lance Berkman, Troy Tulowitzki, Roy Halladay and Ryan Howard rounded out the top ten.

Braun: Team More Likely To Sign Reyes Than Fielder
Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun believes that the club is more likely to land Jose Reyes in free agency than re-sign Prince Fielder, writes Mike Puma of the New York Post.
Braun assumes that Fielder will likely command upwards of $150MM this winter whereas Reyes can be had for around $120MM. The four-time All-Star was quick to admit that he's a huge fan of Reyes.
"[Reyes] is dynamic, man — he is one of the most exciting players in the game," the 27-year-old said. "He plays with a lot of energy and a lot of emotion and I enjoy watching him play. He's one of my favorite players to watch. Whenever their games are on, I love watching him, man. He always plays the game the right way. He always plays hard. He runs everything out."
The Brewers can easily make room at shortstop this winter as they hold a $6MM club option on Yuniesky Betancourt's deal with a $2MM buyout.

MLB's Newest $100MM Players: One Year In
Six players signed deals worth $100MM or more last offseason and they've now completed one year since finalizing their respective deals. Here's a look at how baseball's newest $100MM players fared in 2011 (in order of contract value):
- Troy Tulowitzki, Rockies, ten-year, $157.75MM extension – This deal, which was somewhat unexpected last offseason, is going as well as the Rockies could hope. Tulowitzki put together another tremendous season: .302/.372/.544 with 30 home runs at shortstop.
- Adrian Gonzalez, Red Sox, seven-year, $154MM extension - Gonzalez led the American League in hits and nearly won the batting title in his return to the Junior Circuit. He posted a .338/.410/.548 line and hit 27 homers on his way to an MVP-caliber season. His seven-year extension officially kicks in next season, though.
- Carl Crawford, Red Sox, seven-year, $142MM contract - Crawford posted a sub-.300 on-base percentage, saw his stolen base total drop by 29 and hit fewer home runs, triples and doubles than he did during his final season in Tampa Bay. The Red Sox still owe him $128MM, so they have to find a way to turn their left fielder's career around.
- Jayson Werth, Nationals, seven-year, $126MM contract – Though Werth doesn't like the idea that 2011 was a lost season for him and the Nationals, there's no denying that his numbers fell off. He had a .232/.330/.389 line with 20 homers and 19 stolen bases.
- Cliff Lee, Phillies, five-year, $120MM contract – We knew Lee was good, but it would not have been fair to expect this kind of year: he posted a 2.40 ERA with 9.2 K/9 and 1.6 BB/9 in 232 2/3 innings.
- Ryan Braun, Brewers, five-year, $105MM extension - Braun could win the MVP after leading the league in slugging percentage (.597) and OPS (.994). He hit 33 homers and stole 33 bases, posted a career-high .397 on-base percentage and made his fourth consecutive All-Star team.
Crawford and Werth were sources of excitement for their respective teams when they signed free agent contracts and the outfielders have since become sources of concern. The other position players – Tulowitzki, Gonzalez and Braun – have turned in MVP-caliber seasons, while Lee should be a top-three finisher in this year's NL Cy Young balloting.

Brewers Notes: Braun, Fielder, Gamel, Mitre
The latest on the Brewers on a night that owner Mark Attanasio, a native of the Bronx, watched his hometown team beat up on the club he owns…
- Brewers GM Doug Melvin told Jack Curry of the YES Network that Ryan Braun could be the Brewers' answer to Cal Ripken Jr. or Derek Jeter (Twitter link). Braun, who is signed through 2020, has a .308/.390/.554 line with 16 homers this year.
- Braun has been among the most productive hitters in the league, but he told Danny Knobler of CBS Sports that Prince Fielder "has probably been the MVP in the National League" so far. Fielder has a .305/.426/.611 line with 21 homers and a league-leading 68 RBI.
- Melvin told Knobler that Fielder has had a "great attitude" this year. The GM isn't going to distract Fielder, a prospective free agent, with extension discussions any time soon.
- Mat Gamel, who may take over at first base if Fielder leaves as a free agent, told Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he remains focused on 2011, not Fielder's possible departure.
- The Cardinals have minimal interest in Sergio Mitre, who was designated for assignment by Milwaukee yesterday, according to Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post Dispatch (on Twitter).
- The Brewers would like to strengthen their bench, potentially with a right-handed hitter, according to Knobler.

Checking In On The Newest $100MM Players
Every year a few select players join baseball's exclusive $100MM club with free agent deals and mega-extensions. Last offseason was no different – we saw six players sign nine figure deals. The contracts were all for five years or more, so it's far too early to call them successes or failures. But as the season approaches its halfway point, let's check in on baseball's newest $100MM players:
- Troy Tulowitzki, ten-year, $157.75MM extension – Tulo has slowed down after a scorching start, but he's still having an excellent season. His .274/.339/.491 line and 13 homers look especially good when you consider that he's a good defensive shortstop.
- Adrian Gonzalez, seven-year, $154MM extension – Red Sox fans dreamed of a season like this when Theo Epstein acquired Gonzalez from the Padres in December. The first baseman is a leading MVP candidate with a .350/.403/.603 line and 15 home runs.
- Carl Crawford, seven-year, $142MM contract – Crawford was heating up before he hit the disabled list, but his numbers are poor overall. He has a .243/.275/.384 batting line, just 8 stolen bases and his lowest walk rate (3.2%) since 2002, his rookie season.
- Jayson Werth, seven-year, $126MM contract – Werth is hitting just .233/.334/.409, though he has 10 home runs. Nationals fans may be consoled by the fact that Werth erupted in the second half last year and has traditionally produced better after the All-Star break.
- Cliff Lee, five-year, $120MM contract – The prize of the offseason free agent market, Lee has a 3.12 ERA with 9.6 K/9 and 2.1 BB/9 in 104 innings. The lefty is in the midst of another fantastic season and this time he doesn't have to worry about being traded.
- Ryan Braun, five-year, $105MM extension – Braun is having a monster year. He has a .310/.397/.555 line with 15 homers and a career-best 12.1% walk rate for the first-place Brewers.
It's fair to expect Werth and Crawford to turn their seasons around and produce as they did before signing nine figure free agent contracts. The other four additions to the $100MM club are justifying the deals, at least to the extent that it's possible in less than three months.

NL Central Notes: Cardinals, Braun, Pena, Pirates
After losing five of their first seven games, the Cardinals went 14-5 to finish April with a two-game lead in the NL Central. As the Cards attempt to extend their current winning streak to five games this afternoon behind Jaime Garcia, here's a roundup of today's NL Central-related links:
- The ninth inning carousel in St. Louis has been the team's achilles heel so far, says Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Ryan Franklin is out as the closer and is in the final year of his contract, but GM John Mozeliak doesn't know who the Cardinals' closer of the future is yet. "This season will dictate if [Mitchell] Boggs or [Jason] Motte or [Eduardo] Sanchez is the answer," he said. "It's a little early to render that verdict."
- Farm director John Vuch tells Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the Cardinals have placed an emphasis on acquiring power arms in recent years.
- Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports digs into the specifics of Ryan Braun's long-term contract extension with the Brewers.
- Carlos Pena isn't the first big free agent bat to get off to a slow start for the Cubs, writes Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times. Despite a poor April, Pena still believes he can be a "huge contributor" in Chicago.
- The promotion of former fourth overall pick Danny Moskos gives the Pirates two left-handed relievers, something that manager Clint Hurdle was hoping for heading into the season, according to Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

It was directed by Creator/ChuckJones, with Creator/BorisKarloff providing the voice of both the eponymous grinch and the narrator. The special follows the plot of the original book closely. It was originally broadcast on Creator/{{CBS}} on December 18, 1966, and since then has been regarded as one of the classic TV Christmas specials.Followed by ''WesternAnimation/HalloweenIsGrinchNight''.----!!Includes examples of:* AbnormalLimbRotationRange: The Grinch turns his head around when the Narrator says it "wasn't screwed on just right".* AdaptationExpansion: The special follows the book quite closely, but because it's a cartoon, a lot of cartoonish antics are thrown in that weren't present in the original book, such as the wacky sled ride down the mountain that has definite shades of a "WileECoyote Acme invention gone wrong", as well as the scene where the Grinch "gains the strength of ten Grinches plus two."* AscendedExtra: Max.* AsideGlance: Due to Creator/ChuckJones being the director, Mr. Grinch does this several times. Though it could also be explained away by saying the Grinch is a tad insane. Max the dog also does it a few times.* BabyTalk: At one point in the song "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch", the singer calls the Grinch "a nasty-wasty skunk".* BadSanta: The Grinch disguises himself as this.* CanisLatinicus: The Whos' "Welcome Christmas" song, with its Latinish-sounding lyrics.* CheshireCatGrin: The Grinch's face breaks into one of these when he first hits on his scheme to impersonate Santa, that it approaches a full-on SlasherSmile.* TheChewToy: Something hilariously terrible is ''always'' happening to poor Max.* ChristmasCarolers: The one thing the Grinch hates most of all is when all the Whos down in Whoville gather together, and start caroling around the Christmas tree. * DisproportionateRetribution: The Grinch's only motivation for ruining the holiday is being disturbed by the noises of the Christmas celebration.* ExcitedShowTitle: Like the book, the title is ''How the Grinch Stole Christmas!'', with the exclamation point.* GoodEyesEvilEyes: Although the Grinch was depicted with the evil eyes a few more times after his HeelFaceTurn. [[DependingOnTheArtist Colorists can be blamed for that mistake]].* GrimUpNorth: The Grinch lives "just north of Whoville", and his lair is pretty icy (although that may just be because it's winter and most of the way up the 10,000 foot tall Mt. Crumpit.)* TheGrinch: [[TropeNamers Guess who]].* HeelFaceTurn: The Grinch has a you-really-are-a-heel-face turn at the end.* InformedAbility[=/=]InformedAttribute: The narrator's claim that the Grinch was "so smart and so slick, that he thought up a lie and thought it up quick" (implying that he was a ConsummateLiar) rings hollow in the animated special where the Grinch was pretty clearly panicking at his being potentially busted by Cindy-lou Who for trying to steal the tree (biting his fingers while sweating and apparently having his teeth chatter).** But it only took him a few seconds to come up with the lie, and he presented it with such conviction and smoothness once he had it. (Of course, he's talking to a two-year-old.)* LogoJoke: The special was produced by [[Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer MGM]] Television, and the studio's VanityPlate is spoofed with Literature/TheCatInTheHat standing in for Leo the Lion.* MatryoshkaObject: One waiter serves another waiter, and so on, until Cindy Lou Who gets a strawberry.* {{Narrator}}: Creator/BorisKarloff, of course.* NonHumanSidekick: Max the Dog.* NotableOriginalMusic: "Welcome Christmas", "Trim Up the Tree", and (of course) "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch".* OverthetopChristmasDecorations: The Whos at the beginning of the movie had a song about extravagant Christmas display:-->''"Trim every blesséd needle on the blesséd Christmas tree."''-->''"Christmas come tomorrow. Trim you, trim me!"''* PaperThinDisguise: This ugly cave creature puts on a red coat and Santa hat. Boom! He automatically looks "just like Saint Nick." The only person who actually sees him is a two-year-old girl.** It's even worse in that the red coat and hat were made out of drapes from the Grinch's lair. Let's hope that "[[Film/TheAvengers his mother doth not know about his weareth her drapes.]]"* PlummetPerspective: An ornament falls off the steep cliff.* RedEyesTakeWarning: The Grinch himself. After his HeelFaceTurn his eyes [[BlueEyes turn blue]].* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: [[http://www.alexross.com/83202.jpg Max]], especially when next to the Grinch.* SavingChristmas: Inverted; in fact, the inversion of this trope is essentially the whole premise of the story. However, it's then played straight when the Grinch ends up Saving Christmas at the end.* SlasherSmile: When the Grinch had a wonderful, awful idea.* ShrunkenOrgan: The Grinch's heart.* SophisticatedAsHell: The Villain song "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" is the epitome of this trope, especially with the line, "Your soul is an appalling dump heap, overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable, all mangled up in tangled-up knots".* UpToEleven: Inverted in the beginning as the Grinch's heart is two sizes smaller than what a normal one should be. Played straight by the end, as it's not only grown to a normal size, but ''one size farther!''* VillainProtagonist: The Grinch, up until the end.* TheVillainSucksSong: "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch".* YouMonster: One verse of ''You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch'' begins, "You're a monster, Mr. Grinch".----

Let's Tap, a game that is blazing new ground in Nintendo Wii control design.
Developed by Prope, the studio that Sonic the Hedgehog creator Yuji Naka established in 2006, Let's Tap is the first product from the new studio to be released to in North America and Europe. Developed exclusively for Nintendo's Wii system, Let's Tap utilizes a ground-breaking control scheme where the Wii controller is placed on a box or flat surface so that the controller can detect minute vibrations. Players of all ages and skill levels then tap the box or flat surface to interact with the game; there's no need to hold the controller.
Featuring five separate game modes with multiple levels and allowing up to four players for multiplayer action, Let's Tap presents an assortment of different finger-tapping challenges for players to master. In Tap Runner players use differing finger tapping pressure to make simple stick figure racers run through an obstacle course. In Visualizer players are allowed to create dazzling fireworks effects, dramatic paint strokes, amongst other effect as they tap out different rhythm patterns that correspond to different effects. Silent Blocks finds players taking turns removing blocks from a large stack, tapping too hard will result in a collapsing stack of blocks. Bubble Voyager allows players to fly through space, blasting obstacles and enemies in order to reach the far stretches of the universe. And finally Rhythm Tap allows players to time the taps of their fingers to high energy music.
Let's Tap has no review on Wii's World.

Using motocross inspired knob patterns and a rubber compound that outlasts all other hard core dual sport tires, the D606 gives the mileage and versatility for those who want to push the limits in the toughest dual sport conditions. A full-depth tread pattern designed for rigorous off-road use yields excellent traction on everything from hard-packed fire roads to muddy single-track trails At the same time, the D606's tread compound is engineered for good highway durability and grip 90% off-road, 10% street focus Available in 17-inch and 18-inch rear sizes to fit almost all off-road-capable dual-sport bikes Matching D606 front tire available Item # 5337 Tire Shipping Information Product Reviews Showing 15 of 97 Reviews Overall Rating: 4.61 of 5 (97 Reviews) Read All Reviews Rate This Product 5 Star 43 4 Star 46 3 Star 5 2 Star 1 1 Star 2 Sort By: Highest Rating Lowest Rating Latest Review What Other Riders Are Saying... Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Good tire I have d606's on front and rear of my drz400, they perform great on pavement and are awesome on dirt roads and trails. I dont have any issues as far as vibrations or cornering on pavement and normally ride 70 to 85 mph on twisty roads. The only downside I have found is they wear fast. I have about 2500 miles on mine and expect to be down to the wear bars at 4000 miles. I expected this and will definitely buy another set when the time comes. I would strongly recommend this tire to anyone. Michael - July 29, 2014 (whitefield, NH) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Excellent dual sport tire The Dunlop 606 is an excellent long wearing solid handling tire on my DR-Z400S. I have had two sets of these for long distance off road trips (Trans America Trail and Great Divide Ride). They performed very well on dirt roads, single track, and paved highways. I like that they are crowned for the street, so they perform surprisingly well in paved twisties leading up to the dirt road. They have performed well in mud and sand too. These are a great tire if you do more than 50% off road. Peter - July 21, 2014 (Memphis, TN) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Great tire Truly a 50/50 tire that doesn't compromise road for trail or vice versa. I'm on my second rear tire now, after putting 2,800 miles on the first. On trail, it does great. I've ridden everything from mud and snow to hundreds of feet of exposed bedrock and hare scramble courses. Handles great on hardtop. Curvy mountain roads, with the bike over far onto the outer lugs with no problem whatsoever. Hundred miles at a go on the interstate, above 90 MPH on this tire. Little noisy is only downside. Dan - June 11, 2014 (Wytheville, VA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit DUNLOP D606 DUAL SPORT REAR TIRE This is my go to tire I started on my KLR 650 and now on my Drz 400. I think this is the 5th set and I will buy them as long as they stay the same tire! I can tear off any tires in 1,300 mile rides but these ARE THE BEST (follow the break in instructions). You will have a tire that is the best consistent handling and it has long life for a knobbie. Rick - April 19, 2014 (Santa Rosa, CA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit wearability Great tire, great off road and lasts a long time off. However on road I get 900 miles and its gone. I do like the tire though. Rob - April 19, 2014 (Escondido, CA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit D606 is great for trail riding I've been running D606s on my DRZ for 10 years of trail riding. They hold up great in the Phoenix desert and also work nicely in the forest of Flagstaff. I ride 95% off road but it's nice to have a street legal tire when you need it. John - January 03, 2014 (Goodyear, AZ) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Great Tire Great tire for off road and on road use! Replaced my rear factory tire on my 2012 Honda XR650L with this on. Matthew - December 10, 2013 (Norfolk, VA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Great tire! 2012 Honda XR650L . Happy with my D606, aggressive tread pattern, great dual sport tire, great value. Aaron - December 09, 2013 (Hampton Roads, VA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Dunlop 606 This is the third D606 I've had on my KLR 650 in the past five or six years. I ride a bunch of highway and a lot of off road. I've also had the thing in snow and ice though without ice screws that was pushing it a bit. I'd put a little over four thousand miles on the first and upwards of six on my last one with that one ending pretty bald. There were signs of some knobs cracking out especially around the edges of both but have still never actually lost one. Doug - December 04, 2013 (Polson, MT) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Do not buy for dual sport! I put tire on before a 1500-mile dual sport trip. Before I had 200 miles most of the center tread lugs had broken off. I bought because of the reviews. I don't know if I got a bad one or what. Anyways started my trip off with and extra $200 bill at the nearest shop. No Bueno! Aaron - September 19, 2013 (Olympia, WA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Will buy again The good: Heavy sidewall; you can run these things flat. Awesome offroad traction in all conditions. Felt confident on the slab. The bad: Might get 3k miles out of the rear; twice that on the front before it cups too badly. Noisy. Very difficult to spoon onto a rim; That can also be a plus since, like mentioned, if your tube ever goes flat, you can ride back to civilization without it coming off the rim. sam - June 26, 2013 (woodstock, GA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit D606 Rear 130-80-18 (690R) Excellent. Last trip 3000 miles in Baja, 65% offroad 35% road. Excellent hookup in the nasty stuff, reasonably smooth on pavement and minimal slip and slide. Front worked equally well. Just bought another set. John - May 22, 2013 (Ottawa, ON) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Dunlop 606 These are a great tire for the Dual Sport Adventurer and they have a 4 ply sidewall and lots of bite. A little noisy on the tar seal but still a good product! Jeffer - March 05, 2013 (State of Jefferson, OR) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Dunlop 606 I have been running these tires on my XR650L's for years now. I tried other brands but never found anything that worked as well as the Dunlop. I have never experienced the chunking/knobs ripping off problem that others complain of. The wear rate could be better but not at the cost of traction. After my next 11 days in the deserts of California and Nevada I expect to have this set half worn out and will have another set ready to go on. Oldmonkey - February 23, 2013 (Noti, OR) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Dunlop D606 front and rear tires I have a 2011 Husaberg FE570S. I've been riding asphalt to get to FS roads and trails, so I need tires that are diverse. I've been using Pirelli MT21 for years, and like them, but wanted a better tire on dirt. The D606 fits the need. It has about 25% better traction and far better impact-damping when you hit hard rock edges, etc. With the D606, there is a very small handling loss through HARD turns on pavement; they are as good on dirt/gravel roads, and they are superior on dirt and trails.

Getting fit through healthy eating, exercise, and daily logging. Working to lose 10-30 Pounds!
Last posted:
Friday, March 27, 2015, 4:55 PM
Other Info:
Members profiles:
These are my motivations for getting to my goal weight (130s):
1) Health
2) Comfortable longevity
3) Stamina & energy
4) Easier and safer for running
5) Sense of accomplishment I get from running
6) Sense of control and self-actualization
I'm already at an "acceptable" weight, but that's the problem. I keep gaining and losing the same 25-40 lbs (within the "healthy" range, according to the charts, but it is not healthy to yo-yo!) It is too easy to just say "I'm ok the way I am." I am at my best when I'm in the 130s, so I want to get there and stay there.
This is my ultimate goal: I am training for a 5K which has not been scheduled yet (in fact, it is probable that the race organizers have not even been born yet!), but it will be March 4, 2062, the first Saturday after I turn 100. All of my marathons, all my workouts, all my good eating habits – all of this is directed toward that one goal – being healthy and in good condition to run this 5K. And I will keep running them until I get an age group medal! :-)I am 52, separated, mother of two adult children. I'm a church organist and I teach piano at a community college and in a community school of music, and I do some accompanying, wedding gigs, etc. I am also a volunteer adult literacy tutor, and have three three-legged cats. (Nine cat legs total).
Before age 42 1/2, I did no exercising whatsoever. I was only slightly overweight – (5'7", in the upper 160s) -- nothing to be too concerned about, but a question popped into my head all of a sudden – "What kind of 76-year-old do I want to be someday?" -- and for some reason, I pictured a 76-year-old me, running a road race. This was weird, because I knew I couldn't run 2 blocks. But I realized that the future I was envisioning for myself was not the future I was preparing for. So I bought a pair of running shoes that day, and have been running ever since. I have had good times and bad with this – including several marathons in several states – and a stress fracture, with a period of time spent on crutches and in a wheelchair! I think I have a handle on what I'm doing now, but I am constantly learning new things about what works for me and what doesn't!
I thought that with all that running, weight loss would come automatically, but that was not the case. It was pretty clear, though, that the running would be a lot easier if I lost 20, or even 30 lbs., so I started reading about what is the best way to fuel (and not overfuel) all this activity.
I joined PT in April 2007, and found that just logging what I ate caused me to lose weight! Even if nobody reads it, I feel accountable, and I am aware of what kinds of foods I'm eating and in what amounts – so it's a natural check & balance. Logging every day is really important. I quit being active at PeerTrainer a few years ago, but now I'm back -- because so is the weight. Thought I'd give it a try again.
Now that I have read through the Beck Diet Solution more than once, and DONE THE ASSIGNMENTS (that's important!), I finally feel like I have a handle on my relationship with food. Yay for cognitive restructuring!
My next challenge is to apply this to something that is even more of a problem for me: clutter. I am not a "hoarder," but I was not "obese," either -- but just because I'm not extreme in my problems, doesn't mean that I have it all together. I am continuing to do the Beck techniques for my weight, but I'm also turning my attention to the clutter issue. I found "Buried in Treasures: Help for Compulsive Acquiring, Saving, and Hoarding," by Tolin, Frost, and Steketee. They are psychologists who specialize in applying Cognitive Behavior Therapy to Hoarding Disorder. This is the Beck Diet Solution for clutterers. I am also using the book "Discardia: More Life, Less Stuff," by Dinah Sanders, for a lighter approach. I want to change my relationship with "stuff" as positively as I have changed my relationship with food, and I want these changes to be permanent. An interesting thought -- these two challenges are related. Both involve thinking errors that are hard to unlearn. And it's about more than just clutter and calories.
Age: 48; Married w/2 kids - son 21 & daughter 20 Job: accountant Hobby: reading
I'm a full time office manager with a husband and two teenagers, a daughter who is 19 and my son is 16 who keep me very busy with all sorts of extra activities.**Updated....2/3/15 still working at the same job...still got the same great kids, but they are now both in college. Daughter will be graduating after 5 years with almost a double major and my sweet son is in his second year at a major university...about 4 hours away from me, so my life is kind of the same 4 years later, but sadly I've been wasting all the "free" time I wanted so badly 4 years ago.
I am 49, married, and have kids, ages 23 & 20. My family doesn't mind eating healthy food, so they do not sabotage my food choices. I do that myself by snacking on junk food. I work fulltime and am in the office all day by myself, so I do my socializing on the internet. On the weekends, I love to work in the yard and cook and bake.

I actually love Opera's feeder. Clean, simple, not beholden to web services like Google. Of course, this comes with its own set of problems:
1) Requires installing another browser and a proprietary one at that
2) Opera's mail client is utter shit (hence the reason I use Thunderbird for my E-mail or I'd just use Opera and have a one-stop.
3) Opera tends to have good releases then buggy ones. Stick to the odd point releases.(12.11, 12.13, etc. 12.14 has issues with certain pages hanging again).

The big issue I have with Cyanogenmod is the fact that it can be very difficult to do right and you risk bricking the phone by doing it.
My wife has a LG Optimus 3D (LG Thrill 4G for those of you stateside) and the last update she received upgraded her from 2.2 to 2.3.5, which was a brutal abortion of a release. Bugs everywhere and eats battery life to beat hell. After researching it throughly I decided against doing anything to it because I had to root it, then make sure I had a kosher set of files and upgrades on it first, then install CM. Frankly, she lives on the thing and if I screw it up I'm dead.
Don't get me wrong, I think the people behind CM are brilliant and I have nothing but kudos for them, however the lack of a good installer stops me from taking the plunge.

Metal Roofing Tips
What does a metal roof cost in Black Forest, CO?
Metal roofs typically run two or three times the price of asphalt shingle roofs. Depending upon the city you live in, product being installed and complexity of the installation, you can expect to pay $125 to $1100 per square (1 square equals 100 square feet).
Can metal roofs withstand extreme weather conditions?
Metal roofs stand up well to weather around the country. They are designed to withstand a variety of extreme weather conditions. In fact, most metal roofs can withstand up to 140 mph winds.
Metal also sheds rain and snow better than asphalt shingles, helping to reduce the risk of water damage and risk of ice damming, respectively. They also guard against burning embers in the event of a house fire or wildfire.
Are metal roofs heavier than asphalt shingle roofs?
Metal roofs are surprisingly lightweight. A metal roof is about 50 percent lighter than a traditional shingle roof and 75 percent lighter than concrete or slate tile roofing. Being lighter reduces strain on the building's structure and frame.

Shrub name?
princessgrace79(8 PNW)April 20, 2014
Last one, I swear! Haha. A landscaper gave this plant to me when I admired it at an apartment complex I worked. I was thinking of trying to propagate it since I really do love it, it has the prettiest spring "bloom" and is evergreen.
Any clue?
