Doan re-upped with the Yotes for 4 years 21.2 million. I assume after the talks of $30 million offers a few months ago, he probably took a significant hometown discount.
Go Bears, Blackhawks, Bulls, Cubs, and Illini!
E. Kane resigns with the Jets, another potential off season target off the market......
Ben Eager...sometimes he just can't help himself
Sorry, I didn't see a general discussion thread in your team's section, so this is the best I can see at the time...
TKHO (The Kid's Hockey Organization) is recruiting 3 new GMs for a hockey simulation game. Our area on the PSD forum is here. It's a sim-game, but it's not. It's more of a sim/text hockey league. Let me know if anyone's interested.
Ok, so where were we?! :sarcasm:
Looks like Hawks may still be after that center they were hoping to land via trade before the lockout, Hammer and/or Frolik being the bait. Other than that, not a lot of new faces for this team.

The Blackhawks currently have 8 defensemen...Seabrook, Keith, Leddy, Hammer, Oduya, Brookbank, Montador, and Roszival. I think Montador is a buy out candidate (depending on how the agreement works out these 2 buyouts and if it can happen immediately). After that, I don't know if trading Hjalmarsson is the right thing to do, especially because injuries could crush a team this year with a shortened schedule.
A 2nd line center is always an option but the Blackhawks were pretty damn good at putting up points without one last year.
I think they should stay put for the most part. Defense is improved since last year and offense was pretty damn good last year. Let things play out this year and go from there.
Should be real interesting to see what happens around the NHL and with the Blackhawks over the next week or so.
I agree, I think they should stay put. One thing the Hawks have that most other NHL teams will have coming into the season is that there aren't many new faces on this team, IOW they've all played together for a full season and should be able to click right away or at least sooner than most other teams, which could be huge.
I would think however, there may be a few teams in desperation mode to fill a gaping hole and there could possibly be a deal Bowman won't be able to turn down regardless. We'll see how it all unfolds real soon....
It is definitely going to be exciting.
If the Blackhawks don't go out there for a 2C, I would really like to see Pirri get a shot. Put him with Hossa/Sharp and our defensive side of things don't take a hit. He has looked pretty damn good in the AHL and I think he just needs a chance to play in the NHL. If not, the Hawks will probably go with Kruger there.
Outside the Blackhawks...what is going to happen to Luongo? That should be interesting.
I've always liked Pirri over Kruger, enjoy watching him play in Rockford. Kruger plays better D than Pirri which seems to be why they give him the nod over Pirri. Will be interesting to see what happens with Olsen and I hope we get to see Danault later in the season. Lastly and most importantly, I hope Hossa is truly back to 100%.
Can't see Luongo going anywhere this season. His contract is ridic.
Agreed on Pirri over Kruger. Kruger should be a 3rd line guy. Solid defensively for his age and has some room (not a lot in my opinion) to grow offensively. I could really see Pirri working between Sharp/Hossa...hell, I might work out okay between those two.
I think Olsen is going to see the entire year in Rockford. Apparently he has been struggling and the Blackhawks have 8 players ahead of him on the depth chart at the current time.
I'm really excited about Danault. He didn't play that well in the Junior Championships unfortunately. I would expect he plays with his Junior team and then probably to the AHL if they get knocked out of the playoffs early. Most people have him as a 3c...but I like his offensive upside enough that he could be a 2C in my books. Not so high on McNeil though, I don't like him transitioning to a center position in the NHL and I see a 3C at best.
Agreed all the way with your opinions. Two guys I can't wait to watch more of are Teuvo and Danault. Each are really young at 18 and 19 years old, but could begin contributing in the near future. Johns will be fun to watch once he's done at ND, dood is a beast. I think Saad is overrated, I like him but don't love him. I did love when they picked him in the 2nd round, huge steal. Teuvo was an even bigger steal, how the poop did he fall to us at #18?
Lastly, these young guys near NHL-ready in Rockford, really need to step up this season and show they can handle important minutes. With the cap going from $70.2 to $64.3 next season, we'll need some cheapies to work out for the time being. Biggest contract coming off the books for next season is Rozy at $2 mil and the Hawks are currently at $60.89 mil for next season and that's without a backup goalie, only 6 d-men, and 11 forwards.

Teuvo played out of his mind in the Junior Championships. I watched a few of his games and he was awesome. Pretty sure he finished (ehhh, lame joke but think about it??) top 5 in scoring. I think he fell to the Blackhawks because many viewed him as a "project" who was atleast 2 - 3 years out from contributing at the NHL level because of his size/growth that is needed. Most teams in the top 10 want an impact guy now. The Blackhawks large amount of prospects and top guys enabled them to take a "risk" on a guy like Teuvo who they could wait on. Very excited with the possibilities. He has a slow start this year but has started to tear it up.
I'm with you on Saad. A big guy with nice skating and hands...but he just hasn't brought it all together at the AHL level yet, which is a little worrisome. I think he projects to a 2nd line type of guy. Just wondering where he fits in (if he does) on this year's team. The Blackhawks have a whole lot of guys who are going to be on the bubble.
Also, what position will kaner play? Something tells me the carcillo-Kane-Hossa line is going to get another shot. I agree that'd I would like to see pirri get a shot over Kruger in a scoring role. Also wouldn't mind seeing a trade for a stop-gap 2C ( S. Weiss?) with an expiring contract to buy Pirri/Kruger/Terravainen/Danault to be ready. Also we could possibly use a hard hitting forechecking type of winger. We have 8 dmen and an outrageously deep prospect pool, I would like to see us do something trade-wise because I think we do have a few holes.

KatharineHairNormal HairColor Treated HairThe Best By Far!This is my favorite flat iron out of all of the irons I have purchased. I have tried the Theorie, Sedu, Solia, Karim, Salon Tech, just to name the ones I can remember. The Croc Premium is a terrific flat iron. It heats us relatively fast, glides down my hair with absolutely no snagging, has a comfortable grip, and straightens my hair quickly. I use my iron at 320 degrees and use a heat protectant, and I find this iron is far less damaging than others I have used. I just cannot say enough about it. I have never had any problems with my Croc irons not working or breaking. They are top notch as far as I am concerned. I won't buy any other brand.posted Jun 14, 2013Link to this post
Brittany T.HairBlondeThick or Coarse HairPremium Black Titanium Flat IronI got my first Croc flat iron in 2009. I owned a Chi before that. My hair is super thick and nothing else seems to get my hair and keep it straight like a Croc so I have been religiously using them. I am somewhat disappointed because my Chi lasted me throughout high school and then some! Today I am now ordering my third Croc flat iron. With both Croc flat irons the heating element has completely worn out both times. It is frustrating because I find myself spending $160 every time I need a new hair straighter. I do straighten my hair 4-5 times per week, but hey that is what it is used for. I am just disappointed that this product is not a lasting one. Even though it produces desirable results and pin straight hair I am irritated with the quality. Spending $160 every two years on a hair straighter I know is not going to last is frustrating, but what else can I do. No other flat iron measures up to a Croc in terms of getting my hair straight.posted May 24, 2013Link to this post
AdeleCaliforniaHairBlondeThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairYes This Flat Iron Has Infrared!!I see reviewers say a flat iron works for them and others say it didn't. There are many factors to consider when selecting a flat iron...type of hair, chemical treatments, how many times you use heat, temperature used and hair products. I have spent a fortune on flat irons only to have them chip, which snags my hair and required higher heat to achieve flattening. I was focused on plates that would last and achieve flattening at a lower temperature. I did a lot of research and found conflicting options but finally settled on titanium plates because it's solid, lasts long, holds heat and flattens hair quickly. I have long thick luxurious, wavy hair that is bleached with a low lights, want to prevent damage and also wanted Infrared with Ionization to get the ultimate in hair protection. I viewed the Croc web site and opted to buy the 'NEW CROC PREMIUM BLACK TITANIUM' from Folica. When I received the iron I gave it a few tries at 340 finally achieved flattening at 370 but the grip designed pulled my hair. Then I noticed the plate didn't have the center plate vents for CROC Infrared technology. I read the instructions which noted the Infrared was the holes on the sides and went back to the Folica site. There was no mention of Infrared or Ionization and I see several people asking about that. I called Folica, the lovely agent went and pulled out an iron to exam it and confirmed it wasn't the model I had seen at CROC. I told the agent I was going to call CROC to confirm models and she asked me to let her know what they had to say so she could pass on the info to other consumers. CROC confirmed the model I purchased was different than the one I had viewed. They did explain the Folica model does have Infrared! When the titanium plates heat up a chemical reaction causes Infrared which vents on the side holes. I discussed my concerns about damage and recommended the combination of ceramic, tourmaline, titanium plates with infrared technology. I spoke with my hair stylist who knows my hair best, along with my very knowledgable Folica agent and professional stylist blogs. All the experts recommended the ceramic, tourmaline, titanium plates with infrared for home use! Titanium plates are better suited for salon where the irons are in constant use, rapid heating is required but do more damage to the hair. I rather wait longer for the iron to heat up than ruin my hair. My expert Folica agent recommend the Sedu Revolution for my needs. All I can say is do your homework and thank you FOLICA for all your help!

BelezaHairCurly HairImpressedi was impressed by the service i recieved from folica. i recieved my package within two days of my order. i love that they kept me inform of when it was shipped and that i could track my package, it was very useful.
As for the product, it is amazing. when i used this product it made my hair so straight and stayed straight for an entire week. i didnt have to run the iron over it again which i abso love!
i have what i call "impression hair" that means whenever i tie it or braid it, it takes the form of that style when i loose my hair out so it would have these dents or waves in it. with the croc after i had tied my hair it did not leave any waves or "dents" in my hair. it stayed perfectly straight.
the thumb prints are nice it makes it alot easier to create curls and it does create beautiful curls.
i suggest if you dont like your hair pin straight to use it on lower heat or to blow dry it straight and then run the iron through after on low heat.
this iron is miracle worker compare to all the other irons i have used.
i definitely recommend this productposted Sep 25, 2012Link to this post -
AnnTorontoHairBlackCurly HairThick or Coarse HairAbsolutely L O V EI have very thick curly hair, most flat irons I have to use three times on one strand, usually giving me a husky frizzy look. And takes me a little over an hour to do my entire head no exaggeration !
With this croc, one time and my hair is pin straight, I finished in 30 mins.
I am so amazed by this flat iron
The heat proof front and handle is amazing..makes it easier to do flips and curls.
I just love this iron!!
two thumbs up!!posted Sep 20, 2012Link to this post -

JulieUnited StatesHairMedium BrownColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairCroc Premium Black Titanium Flat Iron 1.5"Before finally settling on this iron, I tested out ALL of the other CROC irons (CROC 1 Classic, CROC 2, CROC 1 Black, CROC 1/2", etc...) I have short thin hair that is sensitive to whatever I do to it. Of the irons that I tested, one would snag my hair, one was leaving my hair looking a little frizzy,...there just seemed to be one thing wrong with all of them.
When I decided to pay the extra money, I bought the CROC Premium and I am very glad I did! It works great and gave me the results I was looking for in all of the other irons. It only comes in size 1.5" but I actually like it better on my shorter hair. My daughter was longer hair, so when I use it on her, it's perfect.posted Apr 27, 2012Link to this post -

KelNYHairLight BrownColor Treated HairImpressed With CrocI was told to try out the croc after getting the brazilian keratin treatment.

This is such a fashion statement watch. It pops out when I wear it. The cost makes it so I can get more colors for different outfits. Overall I'm really happy.
I luv overstock.com Where have you been? There is no reason you can not have the best at a reasonable price.
Although it's gorgeous and looks like other expensive brands, the battery lasted a couple days. Because I was too busy in the time frame that customer service ad manufacture would help. I not only spent money to get and paid extra to ship the product out to Hawaii and paid extra to get it resized. I am now stuck with a not working watch.
The watch that I ordered looked awesome on the computer, when I got it in the mail it was way off. It said it was a woman's watch, but when I opened it, it looked like a mans watch. I was very disappointed
The watch was larger than described and felt heavy on my wrist. It was more like a man's watch. The feature I especially wanted was the "glow-in-the-dark" numbers or hands. These were not at all visible in the dark.
I was not expecting it be so cheap looking. Not worth the amount I paid. Could not even wear it because it was big and difficult to resize.
the battery is dead already!
The band was a bit too large, and I didn't want to wear it as a bracelet, so I went to a local jewelry store and had 3 sections removed. Fits perfectly now, and I get a lot of nice comments on it. I would recommend it.
I was nervous to purchase this watch after reading other reviews saying it was cheap looking, too big or had a dead battery. Don't listen to them! I bought the Rose Gold colored watch and I love it! It doesn't seem "cheap" to me, haven't noticed any color variations or other problems like that. It is a bigger watch, but I don't think it's TOO big. I'm 5'1" and have a small wrist; the watch is large, but that's the style of it, it's not bigger than my entire wrist or too heavy or uncomfortable. I did have to get 2 links taken out, which cost me $XX, but I think it was just the place I went to. I'd say overall though, the $XX total dollars I spent on the watch are well worth it. I'm going to see if they have the black one available as well!
The watch was much heavier than I expected. It was low quality and too clunky for me.

in most benchies i see on Phoronix, EXT4 runs circles around BTRFS in most of the tests (except when you set compression in BTRFS).
Dont see why it should be default.
Most linux noobs probably use ubuntu anyway (i am one too).
Phoronix: There's Talk Again About Btrfs For Fedora
In earlier Fedora Linux releases there was generally a desire with having Btrfs become the default file-system. It's generally proposed to make the next-generation Linux file-system the default in Fedora, but every time in the end the idea has been dropped. With Fedora 19 due in mid-2013, Btrfs for Fedora is again being talked about...
in most benchies i see on Phoronix, EXT4 runs circles around BTRFS in most of the tests (except when you set compression in BTRFS).
Dont see why it should be default.
Most linux noobs probably use ubuntu anyway (i am one too).
Fedora is the other side of the Ubuntu coin, though, if you are starting first time on Linux it is probably one of those two, and I don't see why you wouldn't use lzo or gzip compression in btrfs, you save space and get better disk throughput.
I run it default on my Arch boot, and snapshots are am amazing way to do system restores.
Btrfs is like Duke Nukem, poised to ship way later than anticipated, so late that it's not even funny.
I've been running btrfs on Fedora 17 and 18 on a couple of machines, I concur that it is clearly slower than ext4, as benchmarks show. Not to mention less stable.
Performance with virtual machines or anything that requires random writes inside a file is horrible. In Fedora 18 I retried this and it was still awful, moved my VMs back to disk partitions. This is being actively worked on, but for now btrfs is only performant for operations where COW makes sense. Database performance is usable for development only -- not for anything that approaches real production throughput.
Saying "performance is only good with compression on" is a cop out -- most data is not very compressible, particularly those requiring high throughput like database or audio/video. This succeeds in making btrfs look great in benchmarks using fake files only.
I also concur with the goal of waiting for Anaconda to stabilize. I installed Fedora 18 beta on a new laptop and only succeeded after Anaconda had hard crashed and forced reboot about half a dozen times. This is with very few partition options actually exposed in the Anaconda UI at the moment.
Also up for discussion would be whether there is a "best practice" btrfs configuration that should be used. i.e. should root be on a subvolume? What about /var and /home on separate subvolumes by default? should the @volname Ubuntu convention be followed?
A lot of things need to be shaken out before btrfs is a sane default. I would love it to be, but it's not near ext4 or xfs in terms of real-world performance, versatility and stability at the moment.
Btrfs has been "shipping" for a long time and many of us have been use it for a long time already. This discussion is merely about whether it is ready to take on the role of a default filesystem for Fedora. Filesystems are like wine. A new filesystem written from scratch simply takes a long time to mature and we cannot really rush that process. Comparable filesystems have either had long gestation periods before it reached public eye (ZFS) or were extensions to existing mature codebases (Ext*).
I'm myself using Btrfs for like 18 months anywhere except the / partition, iirc Ubuntu were contemplating making it the default one like 2 years ago, but since then the only progress is that Ubuntu/Canonical doesn't think it's ready, nor does it contribute anything, just as with Wayland - it's pretty much waiting for Red Hat and others to do the dirty job. Plus iirc there was a guy who refused to work publicly on the Btrfs fsck which made Btrfs evolve even more slowly than it could.
btrfs seems to be taking longer than ZFS did. Which is ironic, since ZFS was more innovative for its time than btrfs. I would have expected btrfs to be developed faster than ZFS, since the concepts that ZFS pioneered were well established by the time btrfs development started.
ZFS development started in 2001, and it was stable and production ready in 4 or 5 years (depending on whether you count OpenSolaris build 27 in 2005 or Solaris 10 in 2006 as a stable release).
btrfs development started in 2007, and it looks like it would be optimistic to expect btrfs to be the default filesystem in Fedora in 2013, which is six years later. And Fedora is generally considered a cutting-edge distro. You'd need to have btrfs used as default in a conservative linux distro to have a close equivalent to ZFS in Solaris 10.
btrfs development is so slow and aimless that I wonder whether btrfs will ever be chosen as the default filesystem for a conservative linux distro.
Just as a data point, https://lwn.net/Articles/342892/ for a article from a former ZFS developer who notes some of the core differences, You already have several "conservative distros" using Btrfs including Oracle Linux and SUSE and they support it commercially. So if that is your criteria, ZFS and Btrfs has taken roughly the same time to be deployed in production and commercially supported and yes including as a root filesystem. So Fedora isn't the barometer in this matter despite its typically leading edge status.

The cure for a hot anchor. To execute the pick and flap maneuver, grasp your pants and underwear between your thiumb and forefinger near the hot anchor, pick (pull) the garments away from your butt cheek and gently flap the material so that it doesn't re-attach itself.
I had a serious hot anchor, so I had to do the pick and flap maneuver.

What do you think of the
Gore Bike Wear ALP-X 2.0 GT AS Women's Jacket
? Share a...
Chloe Woodruff
Great do-all outer layer.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
This jacket packs easily for any adventure and it's a great do-all outer layer. My favorite thing about this jacket is that it looks great, on or off the bike. I'd prefer some roomier pockets and I'm not a fan of water-resistant zippers as they're just harder to use than normal ones. But that's me being picky. This is the nicest jacket I've used for training and now that the weather is a little questionable, it's a great one to bring along just-in-case.
Debbie C
Dropped-down "shirt tail"
Drapes longer than most other bike jacket...NICE option!
(*the little black mesh areas are the insides of the small exterior pockets...no interior pockets on this jacket)
Debbie C
Mesh interior helps keep out the "clamies"...wicks excess moisture from body.
Here, the "shirt-tail" is snapped up, out of view.
Debbie C
...and now you don't (see it, that is!)
Debbie C
Optional snap-able "shirt tail". Now you see it...
Debbie C
Ready to Roll!
It actually rolls up tighter than this, and fits deeper in the outside pouch of my Osprey Raven 14 pack. So, you can easily take it just in case, or shed/pack when it clears up!
Debbie C
Awesome Protection
Love it.
Another improvement they could make would be pit-zips. But otherwise it can't be beat... PERIOD!
Great performance, comfort, and style.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I can't say enough good things about this jacket. Kept me completely dry and comfortable biking in western island in rain, blowing mist, wind. Very lightweight makes for easy layering and packing. The hood fits comfortably under my helmet, providing a seamless rain shield and extra warmth without blocking any peripheral vision. Its very smartly fitted and styled to flatter women's curves. Along with the rain pants, this jacket made for joyful riding in what would otherwise would have been yucky (windy, chilly, and wet) riding conditions. Nice long arms, snug collar really comfortable and protective. Small possible design improvement : zipper got stuck several times on fabric next to it... I had to pull it away manually.
I typically wear a women's 6-8 (small to medium) top and the medium fit perfectly.
Debbie C
Here's my ALP-X 2.0 rolled neatly in my pack...I don't leave home without it (except on really nice days, I now bring my new Gore XENON windbreaker jacket); but in any event, this jacket is still very packable. The pack is a Osprey Raven 14, to give you a size reference.
Debbie C
Great Water-Proof Lightweight Shell...
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Got this from somewhere else (for the color/size I wanted); will say it is good at helping block wind and repelling rain, but could stand some design adjustments:
I like extendable"shirt tail", totally makes sense, it is very useful. I like that the collar can be zipped up high...but the thing is that when you want to un-zip it for some ventilation, the collar is kind of 'stiff'( just the nature of the material) and won't fold down, and ends up being somewhat annoying. Would like to have had maybe a few more pockets & maybe 'pit-zips', too. But it is what it is, a great windbreaker/rain guard (and I sure wish I had it on-board when the weather turned nasty (to have had over top of my winter jersey & jacket) last ride! Four stars for a few needed design improvements, especially for the price. Just saw that this particular jacket has just been awarded (Bike mag.), check the Gore web site for more details. Very light weight/packable. Overall: Recommended!

Gallery: TEST DRIVE: We Take the Tiny Prius c Out for a Picnic
The two-tone motif makes it to the steering wheel, and then abruptly stops. The rest of the cockpit is drab dark gray for some reason.
The first thing everyone wants to know about a Prius is its mileage. How did it do? Well, official estimates are 53 city and 46 highway. On our test it was easy to get 40 mpg with combined city and highway driving — impressive considering how focused the Prius line is on efficient city driving. Slowing down to city speeds quickly improves your mileage into the 40s. You're giving up a lot of car to get these numbers, but the Prius c is light and agile.
It can be a bit of a small-car bumpy ride out there in the country, but the Prius c would handle rough roads much better in the winter than a Chevy Volt, since it has standard tires and road clearance like most other small cars (the Chevy Volt has the road clearance of a ZR1 Corvette and low rolling resistance tires to improve mileage, which translates to a slippery ride and an inability to travel through snow or deep mud).
If a small runaround is what you're looking for, this Prius works quite well and makes the most of its compact space. The c starts at $18,950, so it's quite affordable for a hybrid as well; that's $5,000 cheaper than a standard 3rd-gen Prius, and a full $13,000 cheaper than the plug-in model. The Prius c is a pretty simple car, but we think it might be just the ticket to bringing hybrids to an affordable level in the mainstream.

An Uber for Doctor Housecalls
May 4, 2015
Serum herpes simplex antibodies is a blood test that looks for antibodies to the herpes simplex virus (HSV), including HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 usually causes cold sores (oral herpes). HSV-2 causes genital herpes.
Recent findings and perspectives on medical research.
A simpler screening test for herpes is provoking debate on whether knowledge can control a sexually transmitted disease many don't know they have.
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
The sample is taken to the laboratory and tested for the presence and amount of antibodies.
No special preparation is needed for this test.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
The test is done to find out whether a person has ever been infected with oral or genital herpes. It looks for antibodies to herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2). This test does not detect the virus itself.
A negative (normal) test usually means you have not been infected with HSV-1 or HSV-2.
If the infection occurred very recently (within a few weeks to 3 months), the test may be negative, but you may still be infected. This is called a false negative.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
A positive test means you have been infected with HSV recently or at some point in the past.
Tests can be done to help determine if you have a recent infection.
Approximately 70% of adults have been infected by HSV-1 and have antibodies against the virus. About 20% of adults will have antibodies against the HSV-2 virus, which causes genital herpes.
HSV stays in your system once you have been infected. It may be "asleep" (dormant), and cause no symptoms, or may flare up and cause symptoms. This test cannot tell whether you are having a flare-up.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
While HSV-1 and HSV-2 are usually only active from time to time, once they are in your system, the virus stays in your body for the rest of your life.
Ask your health care provider what steps you need to take if you develop symptoms. Ask how to decrease your risk of spreading the virus to other people.
For sexually transmitted herpes, abstaining from sexualactivity is the only absolute way to prevent a sexually transmitted infection. Safer sex behaviors may reduce the risk.
The proper use of condoms, either the male or female type, greatly decreases the risk of catching a sexually transmitted infection. You need to wear the condom from the beginning to the end of each sexual activity.

The suddenly reconfigured Phillies open a series tonight at Nationals Park.
Well, the trade deadline has come and gone and the Nationals — as expected — stuck with what they already had, electing not to give up prospects for a veteran catcher, infielder or starting pitcher and perhaps disrupt the positive chemistry that has developed inside their clubhouse.
The team they play tonight, on the other hand, looks very different than it did when the day began. The Phillies traded Shane Victorino to the Dodgers and Hunter Pence to the Giants, leaving themselves with a decimated outfield for tonight's series opener at Nationals Park.
That lineup will have to take its chances with Stephen Strasburg, coming off one of his best starts of the season (Thursday in New York). The Nats also have pinch-hitter extraordinaire Chad Tracy back from the disabled list. They sent Corey Brown back to Syracuse to clear roster space.
On the other hand, the Nationals won't have a couple of significant lineup regulars: Ryan Zimmerman and Adam LaRoche are each dealing with back spasms. Davey Johnson doesn't believe either issue is serious, and he's hopeful both will be back tomorrow, but he's left with a ridiculously short bench tonight: Tracy, Sandy Leon and the two guys with back injuries.
Plenty of updates to come, so please check back…

Flow: For the Love of Water
Irena Salina's award-winning documentary investigates what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century--The World Water Crisis. Salina builds a case against the growing privatization of the world's dwindling fresh water supply with an unflinching focus on politics, pollution, human rights and the emergence of a domineering world water cartel. Interviews with scientists and activists intelligently reveal the rapidly building crisis, at both the global and human scale, and the film introduces many of the governmental and corporate culprits behind the water grab, while begging the question, "Can anyone really own water?" Beyond identifying the problem, "Flow" also gives viewers a look at the people and institutions providing practical solutions to the water crisis and those developing new technologies, which are fast becoming blueprints for a successful global and economic turnaround.

The industrial revolution made it feasible for wide scale production mouldings, but it was not until much later that prefinished picture frame moulding became available. Likewise at Vermont Hardwoods we started out with only an unfinished product. With the advent of a recession in 1989-90 we decided to broaden our appeal by offering a basic finish to our mouldings. As time has progressed we have refined and added to our offerings, and expect to continue to do so as the market dictates.
There is considerable variation in color in the final product, as wood naturally varies. Further, most woods change color somewhat with age and exposure to light, some quite dramatically. Cherry and Mahogany are especially susceptible to darkening, appearing almost to change into a completely different species. While more subtle, Walnut actually lightens and becomes more of a golden color over a long period of time. If matching the sample is important to you or your customer we suggest you look at our New Traditions line.
There is no finish whatsoever. Our moulding is run through a moulder by trained personnel for a smooth, consistent surface. Additionally, the wide flat surface of most of our mouldings is sanded by our wide belt sander.
The surface is sanded and prepped just as we do for our own Oil & Wax finish. This involves hand sanding with a random orbit sander on flat surfaces, hand sanding all curves, and finally a special fiber removal process to clean the surface and open the pores of the wood for proper finish penetration.
Oil & Wax
After sanding the moulding as described above, we apply an oil finish with is allowed to dry for 1−2 days, depending on the type of wood. After the oil is hardened, we smooth it with synthetic steel wool and apply a liquid wax. When the wax is dried, the finished product is buffed to a rich, soft sheen.
For details on the oil and wax we use, see the supplies page.
New Traditions
For those who would like a wider range of colors than natural wood, we offer what we hope will become a New Tradition − stains, paints and washes that highlight a naturally occurring asset of the natural wood. We custom blend our own sheens based on the color of the finish, as differing colors represent their own unique character.
Although these stained finishes guarantee a more consistent coloring, there will still be some variation in color and grain. However, the parameters will be much narrower than with the natural finishes.
Below are descriptions of each of our New Traditions finishes.
Aged | Designed to give a naturally aged appearance of the natural wood after 3−5 years of typical conditions |
Antique | Portrays the deep, dark coloring of an extremely old piece of Cherry or Mahogany |
Black Cherry | Dark, almost black, but with a hint of red showing through − while natural cherry has almost no chance of ever looking like this, it is a beautiful color and may match well with commercially produced items |
WhiteWash | Allows you to see the grain and some of the natural color through a light white color with a cloudy appearance − sometimes called pickled or just plain wash |
White | Opaque white paint finish − looks grainy on Ash, smooth and clean on Maple |
Clear Lacquer | One step brighter than the Oil & Wax, it also imparts a slightly higher sheen |
Padauk | A rich purple to mimick an exotic, but on a domestic wood |
Special Dark | Provides a nice even chocolate brown with the sheen of a satin lacquer finish |
Ebony | Gray/black with a hint of warmth from the walnut showing through |
Satin Black | A thin black paint on Walnut allows the grain to show through and is very beautiful in a quiet, elegant way; also available on Maple for those projects where a sleek, smooth look is desired |
Finish Pictures
These pictures give an idea of what the finishes look like. Please note that color and grain vary somewhat within each species of wood. Also be aware that wood changes color over time.

News PhotoArts Culture and Entertainment,Bath - England,Bead,England,Holburne Museum,Horizontal,Human Interest,UKPhotographer Matt CardyCollection: Getty Images News 2013 Getty ImagesBATH, ENGLAND - APRIL 23: Detail from a rare seventeenth-century beadwork basket that the Holburne Museum has launched a appeal to acquire for its permanent collection, is seen at the Holburne Museum on April 23, 2013 in Bath, England. Made in England around 1665, the basket - which depicts Charles II who had recently been restored to the throne, and Catherine of Braganza next to a castle within a leafy landscape - is a rare survivor and is made from thousands of brightly coloured glass beads of varying sizes, threaded onto fine wires and attached to the mesh-like basket frame. To secure it for its collection, the Holburne needs the public to make donations totaling 6,000 GDP towards the 78,000 GDP cost of the basket, the majority of which is being sought through grants. The Museum has until July to raise 6,000 GDP. (Photo by Matt Cardy/Getty Images)

Top 30 Rums Countdown # 20 – Zaya Gran Reserva
Posted by Arctic Wolf on December 5, 2012
Zaya Gran Reserva Rum is a brand currently owned by Infinium Spirits. This rum brand was originally distilled and aged in Guatemala, but in 2008, the production of Zaya was moved to Trinidad and Tobago where it is now produced by Trinidad Distillers Ltd.. Zaya is apparently constructed from a secret recipe (in other words a blend) of several well aged rums to meet a specific taste profile which is very similar to (but not the same as) the original Guatemalan rum. All of the rums in the Zaya blend are aged for a minimum of 12 years in small oak casks.
When you read the following review you will notice that there was wide disagreement between myself and the other judges with respect to the Zaya Gran Reserva. Despite the disagreement, the Zaya checks in as the number 20 rum on my 2012 Top Rum Countdown…
# 20 – Zaya Gran Reserva
The Zaya is a flavour bomb of a rum filled with vanilla and sweet caramel!

The Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM, a very light and small equivalent to a 16-35mm on a 35mm camera, is well suited for landscape or indoor photography. For example, the non-rotating front element eases the use of polarizing and graduated filters, which are very popular for landscape photography. It is to be noticed that this wide angle zoom can focus at a distance down to 24 cm.
Its Super UD glass lens and its two aspherical elements perform should give it a good image quality. Let's see if the DxOMark measures confirm this.
We will compare the EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM with its Nikon equivalent: the Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED
If we look at their landscape Use Case scores, for which they are made, the EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM wins with an excellent 4.5 stars where the Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED only gets 3.5 stars.
In conclusion, the Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM is a good lens for landscape, thanks to its low chromatic aberrations and its minimum distortion.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.

KristinPennsylvaniaHairBlondeDry HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairGet This Now..you Will Love ItI just ordered this..and must say it is the BEST blow dryer I have owned! I am a sucker for new technology and invest in good products if they are worth it. This blow dryer is a life saver when you have minimal time to get ready and want to look fabulous going out the door! I have four children and myself to get ready each day, and getting my hair dried, styled and looking like a blow out from the salon is worth the price invested! It has cut time from my normal routine by 15-20 minutes. I use this in conjunction with the rotating brush only because I am not a stylist and love the way my hair looks when it is blown out with a large round brush. So easy to do! PLUS...there is a LIFETIME replacement on motor/parts. Trust me...when I get excited about a wonderful product, I share my secrets with all! Good hair days just make the day a little brighter and a little less frustrating. Get one and have fun with it! Did I forget to mention the SHINE...Can't wait to hear your story...posted Jan 4, 2013Link to this post
Natalie P.FloridaHairDark BrownDry HairThick or Coarse HairGreat For Thick HairSo I used one of these at a spa I was at and loved it so much that I called back the next day to find out what the name was and who made it. I immediately ordered it and have been very happy with it. I have always been an "air" dry kind of person, but now I have great blown-out hair, because it doesn't take me 30min. to do it. I love it and folica was a great place to get it, it was the least expensive too!posted Apr 10, 2012Link to this post
Martha O.MaineHairWhiteNormal HairBlowdryerBlowdryer is fairly quiet and has plenty of power so it cuts my styling time in half. I find it a tad bit heavy but overall a really good product.posted Apr 10, 2012Link to this post
Laura H.Alta Loma, CA.HairMedium BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairI Love Drying My HairI used to hate to blow dry my hair, it took so long and always turned out frizzy. With this Cortex Turbo, my hair is dry within 10 minutes without frizz. I love, love, love this!posted Nov 21, 2011Link to this post
KathleenUnited StatesHairBlondeOily HairColor Treated HairMy Perfect Hairdryer!I tried other hairdryers ranging from $20 all the way to $250. This is by far my favorite. It drys my very long, fluffy hair in about two minutes. There are great heat, cool, and speed settings, too. I would also like to point out how well it is set up well. I never accidentally hit a button while styling (which was definitely a must for me when buying a dryer.) The hottest setting is never too hot yet its warm enough to hold a style (such as creating high volume or curling with a round brush.) The cool is very cool which is great for holding my style. The highest speed is incredibly fast and low speed is great for styling my fringe. Long story short, this is a great versatile hairdryer that can give you a straight & sleek style all the way to curly & bouncy tresses!posted Nov 7, 2011Link to this post

JennNew YorkHairMedium BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairYou Have To Buy It To Believe It!Before purchasing this blow dryer I was already sold with the reviews, but now that I have it OMG this it's amazing!! My hair has even improved with each use. It looks so much healthier, I don't even use the flat iron that much anymore. I want to buy one for my Mom next because the price is incredible! Other sites were much more. EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!posted May 9, 2011Link to this post
KellyHairDark BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairDryerthe dryer is nice, a little heavier than I'm use to.
Sometimes the on off switch is in the way of holding it, guess I'll get use to that as well.
my hair does feel much softer and not as frizzy.
Only real issue so far is the button for high and low doesn't have much difference so for styling on low it blows my hair all over the place. Currently using my old dryer to finish the styling....kind of defeats the purpose, having to use two dryers now.
its not bad, i'm still keeping an open mind and hope that I'll adjust to it!posted Apr 14, 2011Link to this post

MyselfNo Heat And Doesnt Lasti got this straightener hoping it would be good but really it doesnt work at all. all its good for is working with your bangs. my hair is fine and thin and it would take me an hour to straighten all my hair. (just think how long it would take for thick hair) and then once it was done it would become un-straight in the matter of a few minutes. and my hair stays straight pretty easily. it would leave my hair super frizzy. Plus it definitely doesnt go up to 410 degrees. it heats up at the most 300 degrees. Over all its a horrible straightener and not worth the price even though it doesnt cost much. I recommend the conair infiniti. it heats up in 15 seconds it has different heat settings and it takes me 5 minutes to straighten all my hair which is great if your on the go. plus they have a wide variety of colors (blue purple ect) and its super cheap. its only about $25 so yea. i hope this helps :)posted Nov 4, 2012Link to this post
Alissa V.TexasHairNormal HairCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairI Love It! Its Great!my hair is reallythin and fine i recommed it to anyone with thin or/and fine hair its too small for thick hair it would take to long to straighten for thick hair but for someone with thin hair its perfect. and when it says its mini it really does mean MINI but its perfect still:)posted Dec 26, 2011Link to this post

ToniHairPlatinum BlondeDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairWhere's The Heat?Sorry to be negative, but this iron is lukewarm at best and my hair is heavy duty. Fortunately, Folica is terrific about exchanges and returns.posted Dec 1, 2011Link to this post
Jessica D.United StaesHairDark BrownNormal HairWow Hair Art H3000Wow I have not bought yet but I have used on my cousins hair and also on youtube it worked vey well!
I recommened that you buy the Hair Art h3000 it will work so good for thick,thin,curly hair. My cousin has very nappy hair and I thought that the price for this is so cheap it wont work, I had thought wrong,the flat Iron stayed in her hair for up to (1)2-3 weeks about. The only thing is that if you do not touch your hair often it will last you longer!

Looking for Sound Bar Speakers?
Start shoppingVideo: Klipsch HD Theater SB 3 Soundbar
The Klipsch SB 3's horn-loaded design infuses this sound bar/subwoofer combo with enhanced intelligibility. Klipsch's signature full, defined midrange helps to enhance the overall clarity coming from your home theater, letting you enjoy the feeling of being fully involved with your entertainment experience.
Tara: We're here at the Klipsch booth with Darren talking about the Klipsch SB 3. So Darren, what can you tell us about it?
Darren: Well, the SB 3 is our first foray into the premium sound bar category. Just like everything that Klipsch does, it utilizes the horn-loaded technology so all the advantages and benefits that you get with horn-loading is something that you're gonna get in the sound bar as well. So really, the first sound bar on the market with horn-loaded technology.
The connectivity of it utilizes an RCA connection, an optical connection, as well as a side-located 3.5mm connection so whether it's mounted on the wall or even on a stand you can actually just go right up and plug your music, your phone, your iPad, whatever it may be right into the side there, so you can actually listen to your music with an easy connection.
Now it also utilizes a 10" down-firing subwoofer. Now this subwoofer is a true hi-fi subwoofer made of MDF, not plastic, so it's able to reach down to those lowest depths that you can actually feel. So if you're really wanting a sound bar that's gonna recreate something as close to a movie theater experience, the Klipsch SB 3 is where it's at.
Tara: Great. Thanks, Darren.

Visitors at a Southern California state park have reported feeling threatened by some of the park's wildlife. But not bobcats, coyotes, rattlesnakes or any of the other usual suspects.
A herd of wild cattle has been menacing visitors at Chino Hills State Park, reports NBC Los Angeles. Some of the bovines knock down fences to get to greener pastures, but others were bred in the 14,000-acre park and have had little or no exposure to humans. Hikers, mountain bikers and campers have emailed, tweeted and posted on Facebook about several close encounters with the cows over the last two years.
Environmental groups are also concerned about the animals trampling the sensitive habitat.
With a limited budget to solve the problem, rangers have asked cowboys to lasso the cows, but this has not proven successful so far. The cattle are elusive and dozens remain hidden in the park's corners, leaving injury or death to visitors a possibility.

Contentment Quotes, Sayings about Satisfaction
We are never satisfied with what we have. We want what we can't have and take the things we do have for granted.
Be thankful that you are on your feet. There are people who can't even walk down the street.
Pleasures that we seek are not happiness at its peak. For it is contentment that gives true fulfillment.
Wishing things were different is a great way to torture yourself.
Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.
My to-do list for today:
– Count my blessings
– Practice kindness
– Let go of what I can't control
– Listen to my heart
– Be productive yet calm
– Just breathe
Stop looking for reasons to be unhappy. Focus on the things you do have, and the reasons you should be happy.
Always appreciate what you have. There is always someone out there who wishes that had what you have.
Today, I will look around & enjoy all the beautiful things that are around me rather than yearn for things that are beyond my control & become miserable.
A man may be happy anywhere that knows how to be contented.
– Wellins Calcott
Life is not hard, it's us making it hard, because we want more than what we deserve.
Instead of focusing on what's missing, learn to appreciate what's there.
There are two ways to get enough.
One is to to continue to accumulate more and more.
The other is to desire less.
– G.K. Chesterton
The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything.
I complained to God about having a husky voice,
Then I remembered about the deaf one.
Be contented.
Wealth is not in vast riches but wealth is in self-contentment.
Life is better if you are satisfied and happy with what you do and what you have.
– Dr T.P.Chia
Better to be happy with the cod fish in your plate now, than to linger for the taste of a tuna that is still swimming in the sea.
The best may come the best may leave, you do not know the best unless you know what you already have.
If you can't be a superstar, be a star.
Life is like a deck of cards, you get what you're given. Be satisfied, nobody knows who you really are till you show your hand.
