You didnt think that god would allow this asshole to win, did you?
oops... I sorry but I just had to laugh at that!
Me too
Make post sticky on:
Tuesday's six-pack Odds to win the Super Bowl....... -- Denver 5-2-- Two home wins away from the Super Bowl...... -- Patriots 11-4-- Pass defense will be tested by Texans/Broncos. -- 49ers 5-1-- +9 in turnovers this year, after being +28 last year. -- Packers 6-1-- Going to Candlestick their penatly for blowing #2 seed. -- Falcons 7-1-- Smith has no playoff wins, which explains lack of respect. -- Seahawks 12-1-- Pass rusher Clemons has torn ACL; big blow. -- Texans 20-1-- Got crushed in Foxboro last month; another chance here. -- Ravens 25-1-- Trailed 31-3 in Week 15 home loss to Broncos.
Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but...... 13) Over its last three bowl games, Alabama outscored its opponents by a combined score of 112-21; thats Michigan State-LSU-Notre Dame. Wow. 12) Nick Saban is a great college coach, but you just wish he'd enjoy it a little more; maybe thats just what it takes to maintain greatness the way they have. You wonder if the monster they've created is becoming so big that the expectations will become so great that he'll wind up leaving Tuscaloosa. I wouldn't want to be the guy who replaces Saban at Alabama. 11) Packers were giving Minnesota 7.5 points Saturday, until word got out during afternoon that Joe Webb would be starting in place of Christian Ponder, who isn't exactly Dan Fouts throwing a football. Nevertheless, since Webb hadn't thrown a pass all year, line jumped from -7.5 to -11. Webb is first QB to start an NFL playoff game without throwing a pass during the regular season. Tough spot for him, and it showed. 10) Chip Kelly turned down $6M a year to coach 16 games in the NFL, for his $3.5M gig to coach 12-13 games at Oregon. Must be nice. 9) Northwestern has never played in NCAA tournament and they won't this year either; they're rebounding only 47% of their opponents' missed shots in league play. That's really poor; they're going to get eaten alive in a physical league like the Big Dozen. 8) Whomever Cleveland Browns hire as head coach will be their 7th coach in 13 years. This change is because of the new owner, I understand that, but at some point, they need continuity, or else they'll never win. 7) Someone refresh my memory; why did the Bills get rid of Marshawn Lynch? Seriously, I can't remember—was it because they drafted CJ Spiller? Lynch is carrying this Seattle offense. 6) Redskins have to be holding their breath about Robert Griffin III's knee, which may have a torn ACL; if he does have a ACL tear, chances are he will miss the start of next season. 5) Carmelo Anthony was 6-26 from floor in Knicks' 102-96 home loss to the Rondo-less Celtics. Anthony was 4-12 outside arc, 2-14 inside the arc. 4) Wizards beat the Thunder and New Orleans upset the Spurs Monday night; is it a full moon outside or what? 3) Bad news for Patriot League champ Lehigh; CJ McCollum, their star player who was leading country in scoring, broke his foot over the weekend and is out for the rest of the regular season, at least. 2) Tulsa (coached by Danny Manning) won its Conference USA opener 48-47 at SMU Sunday night on a jump shot by Pat Swilling Jr, whose dad Pat Sr was a fine NFL linebacker from 1986-98, mostly with the Saints. 1) Out of 347 Division I college basketball teams, there are four unbeaten teams left (Arizona-Duke-Michigan-Wyoming) and two winless teams (Maryland-Eastern Shore and Grambling).
In case you missed - The Worst of Wild Card Weekend It's about fucking time! The worst people in the history of sports (Gary Bettman, Don Fehr, and Gary Bettman again) have finally ended their smallest penis contest and ended the NHL lockout. Whether you like hockey or not means very little to me. The fact remains that an event that encourages overpriced binge drinking and shitty results is back! Let's get to the pro action from the weekend: Prime - Your insight on Chip Kelly is SHIT. He made you look like an ASSHOLE. With Buffalo hiring Syracuse's coach (LOLZ!), Chipper is down to Philly and Cleveland--definitely not going back to Eugene. Both are loser franchises with loser fans so it just remains to be seen if he picks the NFC version of the Browns or the AFC version of the Eagles or really goes back to Eugene. Matt Schaub - Sweet touchdown pass to Leon Hall, BRAH! This guy sucks. Houston loses that game 9 times out of 10 for settling for four field goals. You just can't do that in the playoffs. Fortunately for them, the Bengals are awful. Jay Gruden - I have no idea how or why this guy is getting looks for a head coaching gig. His play-calling was MUNG yesterday. How about you try another screen pass for -5 yards, jerk. You see AJ Green over there? He's the only playmaker that you have. Why don't you just ignore him for the entire first half? s. Pacman Jones - He should have been returning punts in the FOURF quarter. Had he been out there, you know he would have been making touchdowns rain. Andy Dalton - This guy is a loser. I like him, but he sucks. The Texans were practically begging for an upset. Great job not getting A.J. Green involved until the second half. Andy Dalton is awful. Way to miss an open receiver on 3rd down then check down on a 4th and 11 with the game on the line. It's nice to have two Joe Flaccos in the AFC North. Christian Ponder - I didn't even know that he was hurt until I saw the scroll that he was out with the dreaded BRUISED TRICEP. That is the kind of injury that has killed many men in the past. What a pussy. By the way, who picked All Day to have less than 100 yards (he had 99)? Joe Webb - The line for this game was -7.5 at 6 pm. At 7:30, once Ponder was ruled out and the public was aware, it moved to GB -10.5. Joe Webb's mere presence moved that line a full 3 points in about an hour. That is unbelievable. The only other reason I could think of for a line moving that much that quickly was if the Vikings were replaced with the Minnesota State Screaming Eagles and even then it might be a stretch. Joe Webb is a full field goal worse than one of the worst starting QB in the league. That pretty much means that Joe Webb is the worst player in the entire NFL. Tyrann Mathieu - OMG LOL! I hope that you all caught the Honey Badger's tearful apology on ESPN yesterday. It was the greatest. He was crying about his crippling addiction to weed which is apparently a lie that he's sticking with. I couldn't stop laughing at this shithead. Terrific stuff. Gamesmanship! - The Colts have rode the mantra of Chuckstrong all year. The Ravens tried to get some mojo with Ray Ray's "last ride". On Sunday, the Colts fired back by injecting Bruce Arians with AIDS. I like where this is heading. The Colts, I guess - I don't really have anything bad to say about them since everyone knew that they were frauds going into the game. Get ready to hate them though because they're about to be awesome again for the next decade. Mike Shanahan vs. Dr. James Andrews - I give absolutely no fucks about this story that broke yesterday. All coaches are egotistical assholes. This is not breaking news. To quote Jay Catler, "DOOOOON'T CAAAAAAAAAAAARE". Dan Snyder - HEY SHIT WEASEL, GET RID OF THE GRASS. That was more embarrassing than the Redskins passing game from quarters 2 through 4.
"On Sunday, the Colts fired back by injecting Bruce Arians with AIDS" I actually just spit out my beer!, nice one!
Wednesday's six-pack -- Indiana Pacers beat Miami, their 11th win in last fourteen games. -- Lakers are 15-19 after losing 125-112 to the 21-14 Rockets in Houston -- Missouri State is 0-10 vs D-I teams in non-league play, but they're 3-1 in MVC games after upsetting Illinois State 62-55. -- Pitt crushed Georgetown 73-45 in Washington; John Thompson III got his first technical foul in six years. -- Robert Griffin III will have surgery on his LCL; no word on whether his ACL also needs fixing. I'm thinking Redskins will be getting FieldTurf soon. -- Cowboys fired defensive coordinator Rob Ryan; they should fire their GM, but since that person is also the owner, it ain't happening.
Hump Day Dirty Dozen: Doing some thinking out loud...... 12) 41,000 families in New Jersey are still displaced because of Hurricane Sandy; I don't want to get into politics, but it would be encouraging to see our country spend as much money helping out our own citizens as they do with these other countries halfway around the world. 11) Adam LaRoche gets two years, $24M to stay with Washington, which begs the question, whats up with Mike Napoli and the Red Sox? If Boston doesn't sign him, who's going to play 1B in Beantown? 10) "Enjoy it, if you can." ESPN's Tom Rinaldi actually said that to Nick Saban after Alabama won their game Monday night. I felt bad when he said it, because Saban has worked so hard and so many people have gotten a ton of enjoyment out of his success, but if he himself can't enjoy it, that's pretty sad. Hopefully after National Signing Day in four weeks, he can get a little vacation have some fun before spring ball starts. 9) "I just put them on the coffee table for the recruits to look at." Saban, when asked what he does with his four national championship rings. 8) Greedy bastard update: somehow, the price of gas went up four cents a gallon since Christmas. 7) Over last four years, Washington Huskies' basketball team played fast-pace ball, ranking #7-10-23-30 in country in tempo, but this year, they're down to #177 pace, average speed. That's what happens when your guards aren't as good as they used to be. 6) Florida State finished in the top 10 in the final college football poll, which nets coach Jimbo Fisher a $50,000 bonus; it pays to be nice to the writers who vote for such things. 5) If you invest in the NBA, know that the Knicks are 1-6 vs spread as a home favorite of 7+ points, but 7-1 when laying less than 7 points. Washington Wizards are 5-0-1 as a home underdog of 5+ points, 2-5-1 if they're getting less than 5 at home. 4) New England Patriots scored 76 more points (4.75 per game) than any other NFL team; that's a lot. 3) 2013 is the first year since 1987 where the four numbers in the year are all different. 2) Congrats to San Jose State for finishing in the top 25 in final college football poll for the first time ever; it cost them their coach, but he laid a foundation for success that hopefully they can continue. 1) Some people in Canada are not happy about the NHL lockout and are proposing a strike for fans. In Calgary, they're saying that you can go to the Calgary Zoo 13 times for what it costs for two Flames tickets. Somehow, when games start at the Saddledome, I'm guessing there won't be many folks at the zoo.
Here's a comment about those contemplating boycotting the NHL,(and if you're Canadian especially): Go FUCK Yourself.... A)NHL doesn't give a fuck about the fans, never have, never will B)Like you're gonna do it if you're an actual fan that has spent money (of a decent amount) and for us here in Winnipeg, we were without hockey for 15 fuckin' years....like we are ever giving it up....4 months is fuck all for us.... Drop the puck
So tell me how you feel Killerb All I know is its damn cold up there in Winnipeg. So glad they are back, just a joke how they run the league.
It is cold here...damn cold, that's why we NEED the worst run league in the history of sports...
Thursday's six-pack -- Boise State suspended four players, including their PG and center, but went to Laramie and handed Wyoming its first loss, 63-61. -- Butler went to Philly, won its first-ever Atlantic 16 game, 72-66 over St Joe's; Rotnei Clarke was 6-10 behind the arc for the Bulldogs. -- Rutgers won 56-54 at St John's; I'm still adamant that Bruce Pearl is the guy for St John's. He'll be very popular in the Big Apple. -- Virginia beat North Carolina Sunday, but couldn't stand prosperity; they lost 55-52 at Wake Forest Wednesday, a bad loss for the Cavaliers. -- Ben McLemore scored 33 points, including a banked-in game-tying trey with 0:01 left, as Kansas held off Iowa State 97-89 in overtime. -- Got to get up early Saturday: Duke-NC State and Indiana-Minnesota are both noon tipoffs. Might be the two best games of the day.

"It's not the prettiest Jag of all time, but its beefy tones are perfect for hard rockers and Kurt Cobain devotees."
Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster (£335)
"A pair of sweet-sounding single-coils make this Jazzmaster an afforordable tone machine."
Fender Mustang III (£287)
"The Mustang III offers a vast array of usable tones for practise, recoding and occasional gigging. It's crazy value for money, too."
Trace Elliot Trace Acoustic TA200 (£1225)
"The TA200 offers a room-filling spacious sound and an impressive feature list. If you're serious about your sound, it really should be considered."
PRS Studio (£2999)

Martin Westside Custom Edition Style X (£3250)
"A superior deluxe dread with much more to offer than simply being part of a collection."

Vintage V1800N (£579)
Recording King ROS-626 (£640)
Jetter The Vibe (£179)
"This could be the way to go if you want Univibe-esque sounds in a small pedal: a cool modulation source for the crowded pedalboard."
Martin Westside Custom Edition Style XIII (£2817)
"With a punch, mid-heavy output, this offers something a little different tonally."
Fender Road Worn Player Stratocaster (£1055)
"A rewarding mix of vintage and modern aesthetics and features. The ageing will be the decider."
Hudson HDM-2P Vincent Fat Neck (£599)
Jetter Red Shift (£159)
"For two distinct flavours of amp overdrive that still retain your guitar's true voice, this is a great pedalboard addition."
Blueridge BG-140 (£699)

I've Been Boo'd
I've been Frosted
Today is the oldest you've ever been, and the youngest you'll ever be again.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A good question Wom.
Article III of the U.S. Constitution.
"Article III - The Judicial Branch
Section 1 - Judicial powers
The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behavior, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.
Section 2 - Trial by Jury, Original Jurisdiction, Jury Trials
(The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority; to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls; to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction; to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party; to Controversies between two or more States; between a State and Citizens of another State; between Citizens of different States; between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.) (This section in parentheses is modified by the 11th Amendment.)
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed.
Section 3 - Treason
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted."
Over the years, the SCOTUS has taken on a role of interpreting the Constitution. As you can see, that is not a power directly given it, but it makes sense that it would become so. (The Marshall Court, the case of Marbury vs. Madison was influential.) But herin lies the the key... The Court is supposed to ONLY decide if a law is Constitutional, not to actually make law. Naturally, a ruling they make could motivate Congress to change or create a new law, but a SCOTUS ruling does not create law.
So, as long as the SCOTUS does it's job.... Ruling if laws the Congress and Executive branch pass are legal according to the Constitution, then the system is working as the founders intended. (Ok, at least the Court part. LOL)
To summarize... If you want to CHANGE how the Federal Government of the United States works... (ETA, or confer new 'rights' to citizens.) Amend the Constitution. The founders, in their brilliance, gave us the ability to do so.

I don't usually post here, so apologies if I step on any feet.
I agree. During the recent elections, the local TEA party had stickers for the CSA, Constitutional States of America. This reflected the idea that the country needs to return to the roots of the constitution. They don't like all of the amendments or liberal views of the constitution.
Okay, I don't pay attention like I should, but I didn't realize that we had strayed. I explained to the seller at the rally that the constitution was designed to be amended, but it wasn't easy. He wasn't happy with that and just smiled. IMHO, this desire by 1/2 of our country to run the constitution through a conservative filter does break from the intentions of our forefathers.
Sadly I do realize that there are other issues behind this desire to "return" to the "roots" of the constitution. I also think it is a rallying cry, just to get people to vote your way.
We have also gotten to the point where we cannot agree to disagree any more. WE are each right and there is no between.

So do I. So why all the political correctness ???
I respect other cultures as well, and some are offended by Merry Xmas ???
Perhaps other cultures should learn to respect other than themselves.
I don't hear too much about respect from them, but I do hear a lot of "I am offended" by them.
The melting pot theory is a great idea.......if we ALL agree with it.
"I'm Back !!"
Fair enough. You all have a system that you believe works, if you are happy with that, then I say fair enough.
For me, a true Separation of the Powers does not allow judicial interference in political disputes (Bush v Gore), apportionment and re-districting (Baker v Carr). These disputes should handled by the Legislature or the Executive.
The Supreme Court has an increasingly central role in American governance.
Is that a good thing ???? Have the framers of your Constitution given YOU the right to amend the Constitution ??? They probably have.
Those positions tho are filled with politically appointed judges who stick their heads into the political arena, and themselves creating Legislation and amending the Constitution based on their own political ideals.
Dunno if that is a good thing Pucky. Here, the Powers all have their own responsibilities. The Executive and the Legislature are pretty well intertwined,
but the Federal Judiciary strictly guards its independence from the other two branches.
Yeah, I read Marbury v Madison. They did a good job on poor old Marbury
One question I will ask you tho. From a vet to a vet.
Article III
Section 3 - Treason
Why wasn't Jane Fonda charged with Treason ????
"I'm Back !!"
Can you explain what you mean by "conservative filter" and how doing so breaks from the intentions of the founders? Or, can you share what you think the founders intentions were?
I do understand how you can feel on the point of not being able to disagree anymore. It goes to the buzzword "bi-partisan". That word is a very dangerous one. Compromise (Bi-Partisanship?) is OK, as long as one does not have to compromise core values to get it. I think this is where the deadlock comes from. The "sides" are so far apart that neither seems to be willing or able to compromise. Basically, each 'side' sees compromise as the OTHER side caving in. Its a pickle indeed. Personally, I think that a slow moving, divided Congress is a GREAT thing. Partisanship makes people think and be creative.

Good points.
I hear what you are saying baout the Judiciary getting invovled in political disputes. But, to me, you cannot have a TRUE separation of powers if only two branches are involved. The Judiciary needs to be the final arbeiter from time to time, when no other Constitutional solution can be found.
But, I cannot argue that the Judiciary here has become way to political. But what do you do? You can't have elections for them, because that makes it WAY political.
In the end... As long as the arguements stay about the Constitutionality of a law, it is working.
Do you really need to ask? The fact that she is not in jail is a disgrace.One question I will ask you tho. From a vet to a vet.

My Dad saw an ad for some new exercise video she put out.... He was less than pleased.

I think the founding fathers created a system of laws that would serve the country in their time but that could be amended by future generations to meet their needs. They, too, had to compromise to get the document written.
It seems like many conservatives put judicial candidates through a litmus tests of certain ideological values such as Roe vs Wade, Defense of Marriage, open homosexuality in the military, etc. I would hope that someone selected to a higher judicial bench would decide on the merits of the case and not just on their own beliefs.
This is part of the polarization of this country around the religion litmus test. I know many people, liberal in belief except for Roe vs Wade, who would vote for a conservative they couldn't stand if that person promised to overturn Roe vs Wade. I was raised Catholic and still believe, but I have come to respect others' beliefs and cultures.
Our elections and politics seem to have become a one-issue conversation.
Sadly the liberals aren't behaving much better. Rather than taking the high road, the liberals have engaged in political mud wrestling with the conservatives.
I hope I have clarified my rambling thoughts.

They created a system of government that ensures the highest possible level of INDIVIDUAL Liberty. Individual is important and much different than the 'liberty' of the collective masses. It was also intended that the Federal Government remain as small as possible. The Constitution grants the Federal Government a limited scope of powers and with the 10th Amendment, ensures that everything else is up to the States or the People.
As time progresses there are certainly needs for the Federal Government to need more ability to do certain things. I believe that it has grown WAY too big. So big that it starts to inhibit a persons Liberty, rather than enhance it.
Counter to that are the words "or to the people" in the 10th Amendment. The People elect our representatives and thus the arguement can be made that as long as the elected do what the electorate wants, its OK. Does that look like what has happened in the past couple of decades?

Funny thing you should mention the media. I was talking to a guy today who is the manager of a huge car sales company in Queensland. He was telling me that in motor magazines, the articles that list the best cars from No.10 down to No.1 based on test drives by the author of those articles, is nothing but a whole heap of BS. Evidently these so called journalists receive huge money kickbacks from car manufacturers to put their brand of cars further up the list..
I mean, some people read those magazines like they are the bible, and base their next vehicle purchase on the so called facts that are printed.
And these guys just KEEP getting away with this kind of stuff.

I'm kinda saddened by the fact that i've only seen about 18 of these. And I call myself a gorehound?! Of the ones i've seen, they all seem appropriate for this list, with the exception of Mother of Tears. Such a crap film and it really wasn't all that gory anyway. Although I will admit it did have a couple cool scenes.
This list is also a pretty interesting insight into when real gory films were popular and when they had their hay days. The 70's and 80's were pretty gore heavy, while the material was toned down in the 90's and it's been kind of making a resurgence in the 2000's.
So add some of these babys to your Netflix or downloading (I don't advocate illegal activities, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do!) queues and indulge yourself in all the blood and guts! There should be enough material here for you to have a good couple months of nonstop carnage! Say your thank yous to Gore-met and to Rue Morgue!
A little trivia before I depart! What movie is the above screenshot from? Respond with the correct answer below! You won't win anything but at least you'll feel all smart and up on your horror know how. And we'll all bow before your feet or something.

I'm shocked to say i have seen all of these films... I really need to get out more. However, I question any mans desire to put 'Lucker the necrophagus' on any list of 'essential' viewings. Probably the worst film I have seen, an infuriating watch.
- February 24, 2009 at 8:08 AM
I have seen (or own on dvd but have yet to watch) exactly 20 of these movies.
But even so, I already know for sure that some inclusions are questionable at best, while others that should have been included weren't.
Firstly, Basket Case is amusing enough, and certainly entertaining with enough beers to drink, but essential gore film? I think not! There's barely any splatter at all.
I love that Day of the Dead is included, it was always my fave Romero flick, but come on, where the fuck is Dawn?
And I don't care how mainstream it might seem, the lack of ANY friday, nightmare, halloween or hellraiser films is deplorable. At the very least, the first hellraiser should be an essential gore flick. It was the first movie (that I can think of) to include the fully skinned man effect.
Then I wanna know where the hell is Re-Animator, Hatchet, Tenebrae, and Evil Dead, just to name a few more??
Methinks the author of this list was too bust trying to prove how "cult" he his to consider the list properly. I'm sure the readers of this fine site could compile a better list.
What do you say, Johnny, take a vote? - September 16, 2009 at 9:05 AM

Any large list like this is bound to get some critique and not be perfect but a reader fueled Freddy In Space essential gore films list sounds pretty damn good! I'll have to think about that one....

Mother of tears wasn#t very good, but easily one of the goriest movies in recent years (excluding the more extreme underground stuff). Maybe you only watched the American version?

EmilyTerrible!!!!!!I absolutely can't stand the CHI ionic color protecting shampoo, conditioner, or the treatment.
I am 18 years old and I color my hair dark brown about every 8 weeks. I am naturally blonde, so I have tried to find a hair product that would preserve my color as long as possible. I was so excited when i purchased this line because I've had amazing experiences with CHI in the past, but this was A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. The shampoo is as runny as water, and gives you no lather whatsoever. I understand that it is sulfate free, yet i've used other sulfate free shampoos that still lather nicely. the conditioner is thick, sticky, and weighs my hair down immensely. It leaves my hair feeling GRIMY AND GREASY, as if i hadn't washed my hair in a few days. Ever since I started using these products, my usually soft, shiny, manageable hair has become a huge hassle. And not only does it leave the texture of my hair feeling disgusting, my hair color seemed to fade FASTER after using this. What a disappointing waste of my money. Recently, I switched to pureology hydrate system, and it is AMAZING. i can't say enough about it. I would highly reccomend it... NOT CHI!!!!!posted Nov 25, 2011Link to this post -

Autocomplete feature for the keywords field
The KeywordsSuggestPlugin provides an autocomplete function for the keywords ticket field. Optionally, it is possible to restrict the list of allowed keywords. The KeywordSuggestPlugin uses the jQuery plugin: Autocomplete for the javascript part. See also the LoomingCloudsPlugin.
Bugs/Feature Requests
Existing bugs and feature requests for KeywordSuggestPlugin are here.
If you have any issues, create a new ticket.
Download and Source
Download the zipped source, check out KeywordSuggestPlugin using Subversion, or browse the source with Trac.
Label can be the link to a wiki page
Following section must be added to trac.ini configuration file:
[keywordsuggest] keywords = tag1,tag2,tag3 mustmatch = True helppage = TicketKeywords helppage.newwindow = True matchcontains = True multipleseparator = ', '
There are two parameters to configure:
- keywords - specifies list of comma separated values available for input
- mustmatch - optional, if specified, 'keywords' field accepts values from the keywords list only
- helppage - optional, if specified, 'keywords' label will be turned into the link to wiki page
- helppage.newwindow - optional, whether wiki page opened in new window or not
- matchcontains - optional, whether keywords which matched not from the beginning must be included into list
- multipleseparator - which character(s) is used as separator between keywords. Must be enclosed with quotas or other characters. If not specified, ', ' is used.
Recent Changes
- [12103] by rjollos on 2012-10-03 07:38:09
Refs #8141:
- Moved generation of keywords string into a private method.
- Several other refactorings, backed by unit tests.
- In Trac 1.0 and later, jQuery-UI from the Trac core is added to the page. The ability to add jQuery-UI to the page was added in Trac 1.0.
- [12101] by rjollos on 2012-10-03 03:31:24
Refs #8141:
- Strip single quotes from the multipleseparator Option value. This allows the user to specify a single whitespace separator as ' ' (which is not necessary since a single whitespace is the default), or even dream up separators such as double whitespace as ' '. A single whitespace character is used as the separator in the case the user specifies ''. Thanks to itamarost for pointing out this corner case in his original patch.
- Wired up unit tests.
- Renamed keywords.py to web_ui.py, to work around an issue described in comment:39, in which the keywordsuggest.keywordsuggest module was not being found by the keywordsuggest.tests.keywordsuggest module when running unit tests.
NOTE: If you have enabled the plugin through webadmin or by editing trac.ini with keywordsuggest.keywordsuggest.* = enabled, you will need to re-enable the plugin through webadmin, or edit the line to keywordsuggest.web_ui.* = enabled (or keywordsuggest.web_ui.keywordsuggestmodule = enabled).
- [12094] by rjollos on 2012-10-02 09:37:00
Refs #8141:
- Allow whitespace as a separator. The default separator, if not otherwise specified, is whitespace.
- Trim extra whitespace when selecting a keyword.
- Removed fix-up of keyword list on the client-side. This is done on the server side (although there appears to be room for improvement there).

What is hematuria?
Hematuria is blood in the urine. Two types of blood in the urine exist. Blood that can be seen in the urine is called gross hematuria. Blood that cannot be seen in the urine, except when examined with a microscope, is called microscopic hematuria.
What are the symptoms of hematuria?
Most people with microscopic hematuria do not have symptoms. People with gross hematuria have urine that is pink, red, or cola-colored due to the presence of red blood cells (RBCs). Even a small amount of blood in the urine can cause urine to change color. In most cases, people with gross hematuria do not have other symptoms. However, people with gross hematuria that includes blood clots in the urine may have pain.
What is the urinary tract?
The urinary tract is the body's drainage system for removing wastes and extra water. The urinary tract includes two kidneys, two ureters, a bladder, and a urethra. The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist. They are located near the middle of the back, just below the rib cage, one on each side of the spine. Every day, the two kidneys process about 200 quarts of blood to produce about 1 to 2 quarts of urine, composed of wastes and extra water. The urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder through tubes called ureters. The bladder stores urine until releasing it through urination. When the bladder empties, urine flows out of the body through a tube called the urethra at the bottom of the bladder.
What causes hematuria?
Hematuria can be caused by menstruation, vigorous exercise, sexual activity, viral illness, trauma, or infection, such as a urinary tract infection (UTI). More serious causes of hematuria include
- cancer of the kidney or bladder
- inflammation of the kidney, urethra, bladder, or prostate—a walnut-shaped gland in men that surrounds the urethra at the neck of the bladder and supplies fluid that goes into semen
- polycystic kidney disease—an inherited disorder characterized by many grape-like clusters of fluid-filled cysts that make both kidneys larger over time, taking over and destroying working kidney tissue
- blood clots
- blood clotting disorders, such as hemophilia
- sickle cell disease—an inherited disorder in which RBCs form an abnormal crescent shape, resulting in less oxygen delivered to the body's tissues, clogging of small blood vessels, and disruption of healthy blood flow
Who is at risk for hematuria?
Almost anyone, including children and teens, can have hematuria. Factors that increase the chance a person will have hematuria include
- a family history of kidney disease
- an enlarged prostate, which typically occurs in men age 50 or older
- urinary stone disease
- certain medications including aspirin and other pain relievers, blood thinners, and antibiotics
- strenuous exercise such as long-distance running
- a recent bacterial or viral infection
How is hematuria diagnosed?
Hematuria is diagnosed with urinalysis, which is testing of a urine sample. The urine sample is collected in a special container in a health care provider's office or commercial facility and can be tested in the same location or sent to a lab for analysis. For the test, a nurse or technician places a strip of chemically treated paper, called a dipstick, into the urine. Patches on the dipstick change color when RBCs are present in urine. When blood is visible in the urine or a dipstick test of the urine indicates the presence of RBCs, a health care provider examines the urine with a microscope to make an initial diagnosis of hematuria. The next step is to diagnose the cause of the hematuria.
The health care provider will take a thorough medical history. If the history suggests a cause that does not require treatment, the urine should be tested again after 48 hours for the presence of RBCs. If two of three urine samples show too many RBCs when viewed with a microscope, more serious causes should be explored. The health care provider may order one or more of the following tests:
- Urinalysis. Further testing of the urine may be done to check for problems that can cause hematuria, such as infection, kidney disease, and cancer. The presence of white blood cells signals a UTI. RBCs that are misshapen or clumped together to form little tubes, called casts, may indicate kidney disease. Large amounts of protein in the urine, called proteinuria, may also indicate kidney disease. The urine can also be tested for the presence of cancer cells.
- Blood test. A blood test involves drawing blood at a health care provider's office or commercial facility and sending the sample to a lab for analysis. A blood test can show the presence of high levels of creatinine, a waste product of normal muscle breakdown, which may indicate kidney disease.
- Biopsy. A biopsy is a procedure that involves taking a piece of kidney tissue for examination with a microscope. The biopsyis performed by a health care provider in a hospital with light sedation and local anesthetic. The health care provider uses imaging techniques such as ultrasound or a computerized tomography (CT) scan to guide the biopsy needle into the kidney. The kidney tissue is examined in a lab by a pathologist—a doctor who specializes in diagnosing diseases. The test helps diagnose the type of kidney disease causing hematuria.
- Cystoscopy. Cystoscopy is a procedure that uses a tubelike instrument to look inside the urethra and bladder. Cystoscopy is performed by a health care provider in the office, an outpatient facility, or a hospital with local anesthesia. However, in some cases, sedation and regional or general anesthesia are needed. Cystoscopy may be used to look for cancer cells in the bladder, particularly if cancer cells are found with urinalysis. For more information about cystoscopy, see the National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NKUDIC) fact sheet Cystoscopy and Ureteroscopy at www.urologic.niddk.nih.gov.
- Kidney imaging tests. Intravenous pyelogram (IVP) is an x ray of the urinary tract. A special dye, called contrast medium, is injected into a vein in the person's arm, travels through the body to the kidneys, and makes urine visible on the x ray. The contrast medium also shows any blockage in the urinary tract. When a small mass is found with IVP, another imaging test, such as an ultrasound, CT scan, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), can be used to further study the mass. Imaging tests are performed in an outpatient center or hospital by a specially trained technician, and the images are interpreted by a radiologist—a doctor who specializes in medical imaging. Anesthesia is not needed, though light sedation may be used in some cases. Imaging tests may show a tumor, a kidney or bladder stone, an enlarged prostate, or other blockage of the normal flow of urine. For more information about imaging tests used to examine the urinary tract, see the NKUDIC fact sheet Imaging of the Urinary Tract at www.urologic.niddk.nih.gov.
How is hematuria treated?
Hematuria is treated by treating its underlying cause. If no serious condition is causing hematuria, no treatment is needed. Hematuria caused by a UTI is treated with antibiotics; urinalysis should be repeated 6 weeks after antibiotic treatment ends to be sure the infection has resolved.
Eating, Diet, and Nutrition
Eating, diet, and nutrition have not been shown to play a role in causing or preventing hematuria.
Points to Remember
- Hematuria is blood in the urine.
- Most people with microscopic hematuria do not have symptoms. People with gross hematuria have urine that is pink, red, or cola-colored due to the presence of red blood cells (RBCs).
- Hematuria can be caused by menstruation, vigorous exercise, sexual activity, viral illness, trauma, or infection, such as a urinary tract infection (UTI). More serious causes of hematuria include

- If a thorough medical history suggests a cause that does not require treatment, the urine should be tested again after 48 hours for the presence of RBCs. If two of three urine samples show too many RBCs when viewed with a microscope, more serious causes should be explored.
- One or more of the following tests may be ordered: urinalysis, blood test, biopsy, cytoscopy, and kidney imaging tests.
- Hematuria is treated by treating its underlying cause.
Hope through Research
In recent years, researchers have learned a great deal about kidney disease. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) sponsors several programs aimed at understanding kidney and urologic problems that can lead to hematuria. The NIDDK's Division of Kidney, Urologic, and Hematologic Diseases supports basic research into normal kidney function and the diseases that impair normal function at the cellular and molecular levels, including diabetes, high blood pressure, glomerulonephritis, and cystic kidney diseases.
Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research. For information about current studies, visit www.ClinicalTrials.gov.

Kidney Disease Research Updates
Winter 2013
KUH Initiative Seeks Community-level Solutions for Treating CKD
From NIDDK Director's Update
The NIDDK's Division of Kidney, Urologic, and Hematologic Diseases (KUH) is breaking new ground by funding an initiative to improve outcomes by testing methods to translate chronic kidney disease (CKD) research into routine clinical practice.
Under the initiative, five projects are testing the effectiveness of approaches that are highly likely to be adopted and sustained in a wide range of health care settings and by individuals and communities at highest risk for CKD. Projects selected for funding had to demonstrate that their approaches would not require extraordinary new or additional resources and could be adapted to settings with limited resources where high-risk communities are served, such as community health centers.
"We have interventions which have been proven to prevent or slow the progression of CKD," said Andrew Narva, M.D., who oversees the grants and directs the National Kidney Disease Education Program (NKDEP). "Unfortunately, we have not been successful in implementing these proven therapies in the community. We need to test new approaches."
CKD, a condition in which the kidneys gradually lose function, affects an estimated 23 million American adults. Diabetes and high blood pressure are the most common causes of CKD. The projects, which began last fall and will continue through 2016, are studying several ways to improve care for patients with CKD, including the use of health information technology such as enhanced electronic health records and patient registries, techniques to help patients manage their own care, and educational materials and resources for patients and health care providers.
"In order to improve outcomes for patients with CKD we must narrow the gap between clinical research and clinical practice," said Narva. "We need to figure out how to deliver appropriate care to those who need it. We hope to use the knowledge gained from this research to inform the work of NKDEP."
To learn more, contact Dr. Narva at firstname.lastname@example.com.

After a hiatus of three seasons, girls basketball is back at Mammoth High School.
In the first tryouts for the new program, 33 girls took a stab at the nets under the watchful eye of new coach William Bauman, a 26-year-old long, tall—really tall—drink of water from Minnesota.
"Basketball is turning a corner in town," said Bauman, who was recently married to Mammoth local John Eastman's daughter, Danielle.
"It's just the greatest sport ever invented."
Bauman said he played a bit of college hoops before arriving in Mammoth, and is familiar with women's basketball in particular.
His sister, Kate, played Division I college basketball at Iowa State and UC Santa Barbara, and he's not shy about why he'd rather coach girls than boys.
"I think with girl players, there's a little bit more sensitivity and patience on the court," he said. "It seems like they're more in tune with the game and their teammates, and they pick up more on instilling confidence on a team."
Of the 33 girls who signed up for tryouts, Bauman said there were no seniors and just five juniors. When the season begins, he said, he plans a practice roster of 15. Of those, 10 to 12 would travel, owing to transportation constraints.
He said he will work alongside Jason Patterson, the coach of the boys' team, on a volunteer basis.
"As soon as I got here I wanted to be part of the basketball culture," he said.
In addition to volunteering his coaching duties at the high school, Bauman said he also is working with the Recreation Department's John Connolly in town-sponsored hoops.
"This," he said, "is a lifelong dream."

[Live in the USA? Check out the Quit Coal website to join communities around the country organizing to fight coal and demand clean energy.]
To avoid the worst impacts of climate change, including widespread drought, flooding and massive population displacement caused by rising sea levels, we need to keep global temperature rise below 2ºC (compared to pre-industrial levels). To do this, global greenhouse gas emissions must peak by 2015 and from there go down to zero.
I can't understand why there aren't rings of young people blocking bulldozers and preventing them from constructing coal-fired power plants.
Noble Peace Prize winner Al Gore
A third of all carbon dioxide emissions come from burning coal. It's used to produce nearly 40 percent of the world's power, and hundreds of new coal plants are planned over the next years if the industry gets its way.
Apart from climate change, coal also causes irreparable damage to the environment, people's health and communities around the world. While the coal industry itself isn't paying for the damage it causes, the world at large is.
The world has enough technically accessible renewable energy to meet current energy demands six times over. We need an energy revolution that substitutes wind, solar, energy efficiency and other modern technologies for dirty energy sources like coal.
Unfortunately, governments across the world are allowing industry to spend hundreds of billion of dollars to build hundreds of new coal-fired power stations worldwide in the coming years. If they are built, CO2 emissions from coal are expected to rise 60 percent by 2030. This will undermine any international agreements to tackle climate change.
These governments have in part been seduced by an illusion of "clean coal." The result of a major public relations offensive by the coal industry including a number of dubious "technological fixes" that they claim make burning coal safe for the climate.
Activists block the construction of a new coal fired power plant in Rotterdam.
One of these Carbon, Capture and Storage (CCS) is a plan to capture carbon emissions from power stations and bury them underground. The technology won't be ready for at least another 20 years, too late to save the climate. Yet the vague promises of CCS are being used to justify building new coal-fired plants. These plants will spew out enormous amounts of CO2 pollution for at least the next 20 years and probably during their whole 40-year lifetime. In short, any new coal fired power plant will contribute massively to the climate crisis.
The world doesn't need more coal, it needs an Energy [R]evolution.
As world leaders fail to step up and take the necessary action to stop coal, people across the world are taking on the struggles themselves. Across the world environmental activists, students, doctors, church leaders and many more are mobilising against coal.
We have been supporting local movements against coal accross the globe and taking action to stop global warming.

plushyfan, I sure hope no Canadian skater or any skater from any county for the matter has to repeat his career because who would want to be forced back from his retirement by his skating fed because the country can't find a man - any man - in almost 10 years to take over? Look at now, Plushenko is paying this with his own health and knees, is this worth it? If he has to walk the rest of his life on clutches as a result, would all the medals in the world make him healthy again?
Did you forget something? No matter how decorated Plushenko's career has been, he only won one Olympic Gold medal in his life and likely won't see another one. Yet, in the Sochi 2014 Olympics in Russia, Patrick Chan will have the chance of winning not one but two Olympic Gold medals in one shot, thus, surpassing what Plushenko has ever achieved. You know what's even better? If Plushenko take part in the Sochi Olympics and compete, he will contribute to Russia's potential defeat in both events. I can't think of anything more vindicating than this. And please don't try to convince us that "he can afford anything". Russia only cares about the number of Olympic Gold medals, not even the number of total medals - only the Gold medal matter. He didn't come back to finish last or just for the pleasure of skating in his homeland Olympics, that's simply not true. Many people suspected he pulled out of the Euros this year because he couldn't stand finishing the Championship without being the #1. Did the fall in the SP aggravate his injury or has it been there for a while? Then, if the fall didn't aggravate his injury, why did he pull out citing an injury that was already there before he began the SP? The answer is obvious except it's not PC to openly state it. And if Patrick Chan doesn't win it, so what? You can't have everything in life, let the best skater win!
And those people have already been proved wrong because he is off to get more treatments and pulled out of shows.
You know, I think it's rather a compliment to Plushy that people are still so in awe of him that they resort to making unfounded accusations of bad sportsmanship.
Glad that the thread is getting longer and longer,
Shouldn't people be more interested in talking about those new champions, instead of spending so much time of their life on the old, irrelevant, never-gonna-medal Plushenko?
Oh Plushy, you definitely filled a void in some posters' hearts and minds!

Hmm...as if visiting the doctor proves anything at all, I can make an appointment with the hospital tomorrow, doesn't mean anything. I seem to recall a certain someone who got banned by the ISU in 2010 for getting a medical bye but magically skated in show soon after? I can't recall who that might be and perhaps he learned a lesson since 2010? Must be, because getting the ban lifted for the 2nd time will undoubtedly be a lot harder.
Yes, he learned a lesson, now he's on very good terms with the Russian Federation, so no ban this time. Sorry!
Unlike you I don't care about Russia or their medals. They don't have another top skater in men competition and that's not my problem or Plushenko's fault. I personally would prefer an OMG for Patrick Chan and a team gold for Russia and I believe Plushenko can help them to win it, if he's healthy.
What if Patrick Chan doesn't win? Well...I'll be very pissed because he deserves that medal, could you tell him to get a REAL coach, please?????

People skate injured and sick and then pull out because of that injury or sickness between SP and LP lots of times in the past and will do so in the future because that is how a lot of athletes operate! Try to attempt compete sick or injured and then withdraw. It is so common! It happens every season. But with lots of things regarding Plushenko there is a darker motivation or a motivation built out of a character flaw. Devious or something. Something that makes him a bad individual.
There is way too much Russia is the boss of Plushenko in your post. Like he is being used by Russia to win golds and that is his only purpose but he can quit. He actually doesn't want to. He is doing Russia a favor by staying. I can't imagine it not being personal desire to compete in Russia.
He fell on an axel after 9 years and it is on the news . For the zero quad, iffy lutz and and the disaster of an axel, Plush sold his program after the fall and got a SO in Euros. In an extremely well skated event only 3 skaters got SO. The other ones were Joubert and Fernandez.
He has withdrawn from sp two times in his whole carreer if i remember correct..TO get things straight, PLushenko would not have been banned by ISU had he appeared in AOI shows. It is not the same situation as Wolrds 2010 when RF didnt saction him to shows so ISU had to ban him and I m pretty sure RF would not do the same now. And he has a case. He came and participated in the tournament. Aliona and Robin came to EUros 2012 last year, did one practice, withdrew to injury and one week after did the whole tour of AOI, pretty much what Plushenko has done now. RF with press release is supporting him in his decision to withdraw from Euros.
Euros was a low point for sure and sets him back from what he started building in SHeffield but I am to agree with BC, he affords to have a bad showing, and honestly I think even if he could skate a decent Lp he would withdraw because at this point of his career he doesnt care for a top ten finish at euros.But if he earns his spot for Oly team and is sort of healthy he will be there regardless of the medals. He could afforded to skip RN , EUros and whatever the last couple of seasons but he doesnt.
I'll start making notes:
1. one Olympic Gold medal is just "only one". Not worthy of being deemed as some achievement.
This statement comes form a Canadian uber which representatives never won any Gold Medal in Men. Neither in Ladies. Won one in Dances in Vancouver. And one in Pairs in SLC the history of that win I won't even bother to describe.
Isn't it the reason of all the bitterness that we can observe here regarding the value of "only one OGM"? I believe it is.
2. Plus is a malingerer and a liar because he withdrew due to the back injury when "in fact" he was afraid to lose . When others withdraw due to stomach flu or somesuch, or don't even bother to attend the events at all without any injury or health reason (PChan at 4CC 2013), it's all happening in good faith and in no way due to the fear to lose to rivals. Of course neither mums/nuns/whoever nor even the current buddies in tabloids never told the person making such claims who bad it is to libel.
3. Plu fell after 9 years and it made the news. The said persona clearly doesn't have a clue what an irony it is to hear such statement from a Chan uber.
The point is there is nothing NEW in wallylutz's rants. Just a flow of boring poison, envy and greed with which Plu fans are having deal with since his Vancover comeback. Yawn. I am still waiting for something more creative.

This is unlike any concert film you've ever seen. Besides putting you in the front row of performances by some of the royalty of music, it captures the moments we didn't see on tv- the backstage moments of stars meeting stars- artists preparing for their performances. Seeing Paul McCartney's pre-concert rituals (a manicure???!!! Who knew!!) are an eye-opener. It' priceless seeinging McCartney watch the performances that preceded his own.
Roger Daltry, Roger Waters , Adam Sandler , Chris Rock and Kanye West are just a few of the featured. More revealing was what it took to organize an event of that magnitude a mere month and change after the disaster that hit the
The film has some tender moments. I melted seeing the late James Gandolfini answering the telethon phones . Also riveting : watching the director of the televised show , whose job is like the conductor of an orchestra.
Best of all: misson accomplished. Over 50-million dollars raised and distributed by The Robin Hood Foundation to help local groups deal with the aid at the ground zero level.

Really, America? Must everything always be political?
Picking a side and sticking to it is not a flaw in politics or sports or much else. Being guided in politics by a core philosophy is not just OK, it's the way politics should be done. But so many Americans are now driven almost entirely by ideology or partisanship (there is a difference) that historic moments that should unite us all become opportunities to divide us further.
The injured were still being removed from Boylston Street on Monday when partisans on the left and the right speculated that surely this must be the work of the other side. If they were not blaming the other side directly, they stated with no evidence whatsoever that the blasts confirmed their own political views.
Former U.S. Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., used the moment not to call for unity, but to take pot shots against people who advocate for lower taxes and smaller government. Conservative activists used the moment to bash the media, ironically getting facts wrong while complaining about news reports that, in the chaotic aftermath of a terrorist attack, were sometimes off base.
Have we really reached the point at which not even the bombing of a major American city can cause people to put down their partisan swords for a day?

Sheridan R.Herndon, VaHairBlondeColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairMore Of A Crimper Than WavesI bought this because I wanted beach waves... I have very dense thick hair so I needed something that had a high temperature. The heat was there, so my hair did curl... but the barrels are so small on this it gave it a very frizzed out crimp look. Not what I was going for. I wanted more deep beach waves. I just got it yesterday, returning it tomorrow!posted Apr 5, 2011Link to this post
Bigb00HairOily HairThick or Coarse HairFun & EasyI REALLY like the wave/curl this makes. Kinda looks like when you sleep with braids in your hair minus the goofy ends. It heats up fast, gets as hot as you need it and looks so cute. I've had it a good 5 years and use it every couple of weeks. Love love love.posted Feb 14, 2011Link to this post

Clara S.HairMedium BrownNormal HairLooks Like Cheap Trashy Waves Not A Beauitful Clean WaveJust bought this last night and I hate it. I would do better cornrowing like to braids with wet hair or french braid. I feel as if the curls/ waves/ whatever cause you get neither, They look dirty like someone that doesn't take care of there self. I'm so mad. I apologize if I cannot make a clear point. I would not buy this, but if you are like me you probably think I using it wrong and will end up buying it anyway trust what I tell you don't waste your time or money. Hope this helped!!posted Nov 30, 2010Link to this post

Samantha H.HairBlackCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairLove It, But....i love the curling iron itself, heats up quickly and works perfectly. the only thing that brought the rating down was the shipping, i paid for 2 day and didn't receive the item for 5 and even then it had an additional charge that needed to be paid with credit card or cheque and i had to go alot with the delivery company just to get it. so i recommend the triple barrel itself just maybe not from this particular website.posted Aug 30, 2010Link to this post
MeganNew York, NYHairBlondeNormal HairFine or Thin HairBeachy Waves Fast And Easy!I was looking for a triple barrel waver but didn't want to spend a fortune so I decided to give this one a shot. I love it! It is so easy to use and gives my straight flat hair the added lift and oomph without having to go through the pain of using a traditional curling iron. With this triple barrel, I can wave my entire head in about 15 minutes without needing any skill. If I want a slight wave I only hold the iron on my hair for a few seconds but if I want a really deep wave, I take smaller sections, spray with hair spray and a heat protectant, and hold on a litter longer. The deep waves typically last 2 days for me too so it is perfect! All in all an easy to use, no talent needed tool to take my hair from straight to the beachy waves I wanted!posted Aug 13, 2010Link to this post

McGowan, Vargas heading in opposite directions
Blue Jays righty is scuffling, while Royals lefty is rolling along
Blue Jays right-hander Dustin McGowan could be pitching for his job when he takes the mound Tuesday night in Kansas City.
No matter what happens, McGowan will have a spot on the 25-man roster, but there's uncertainty over whether his future is in the rotation or the bullpen.
McGowan admitted after his last start that he has feeling fatigued around the 60-pitch mark, and unless that issue is solved against the Royals, it might force the Blue Jays to make a change as they continue to search for ways to get more innings out of their starting pitchers.
"The body just feels like it runs out of steam a little bit," McGowan said. "I shouldn't be feeling that, I should be at the point where I can go 90-100 [pitches], especially the way my arm feels. It feels great."
McGowan was staked to an early 6-1 lead in his last outing, but was unable to hold the Orioles in check. He allowed two runs in the third, then departed with the bases loaded and nobody out in the fifth. He has pitched more than four innings just once this season and owns a 6.88 ERA in four starts.
Left-hander Jason Vargas will get the call for Kansas City and in a lot of ways he has been the polar opposite of McGowan. Vargas has been consistently effective in his first five starts for the Royals as his 1.54 ERA indicates. He's never given up more than two earned runs in a game. His innings have gone 7-8-7-7-6 and he's thrown at least 100 pitches in each game.
"It's better than doing bad. The idea is to do well. It's pretty self-explanatory," Vargas said. "It really doesn't matter until you pitch the next game you're supposed to pitch. None of it all matters if you don't pitch well the next time out."
His next time out is against a team that has given him trouble in the past -- he's 1-3 with a 5.87 ERA in six games against Toronto. But he hasn't faced them since 2012.
Royals manager Ned Yost said Mike Butcher, who was Vargas' pitching coach last year with the Angels, predicted that the Royals would appreciate their free-agent signee.
"He said, 'I hate the fact that we lost him because he's special in terms of what he does on the mound, how he competes, how he can command a baseball,'" Yost said. "So after talking to Butcher, I expected that we're going to have a pretty good guy here."
Vargas is the type of pitcher who doesn't rattle and leans a lot on the Royals' tight defense.
"He doesn't challenge hitters, he makes pitches," Yost said. "It gives him the confidence that, 'If I make a little bit of a mistake, somebody's still going to be there to catch it.'"
Unfortunately for the Royals, they've managed to lose three of his five starts after he left the game.
Blue Jays: Cabrera has chance to set franchise record
• Melky Cabrera just needs one more hit to set the club record for most hits during March and April. Cabrera tied the franchise mark at 39 with a pair of hits during Sunday's 7-1 victory over the Red Sox. He's tied with Shea Hillenbrand (2005) and Shannon Stewart (2001), but can take sole ownership over the impressive feat with a hit either Tuesday or Wednesday.
Cabrera became the first player in franchise history to record at least one hit in all but one of the club's first 25 games. He's riding a 10-game hitting streak and has 12 multihit games while posting an impressive .345 average.
Royals: Nothing to challenge
• The new instant replay challenge system hasn't been used by the Royals, or their opponents for that matter, in the last 10 games.
There was one replay called by the umpires themselves Thursday at Cleveland to determine if Royals catcher Brett Hayes had given runner Asdrubal Cabrera a clear path to the plate before tagging him out to end the first inning. The verdict was that he did.
In the first 14 games of the season, the Royals were involved in 10 replay challenges. Yost is 2-2 in his challenges; opposing skippers are 3-3.
Worth noting
• Blue Jays third baseman Brett Lawrie is hitting just .179, but seven of his 17 hits have gone for extra bases. He leads the team with 20 RBIs and trails only Jose Bautista for the most home runs with six.
• Bautista has reached base safely in all of Toronto's 25 games. He's riding an eight-game hitting streak and has reached base in 52 of his 112 plate appearances, which equates to a .464 on-base percentage.
• Alex Gordon drew his 360th walk Sunday, tying him for 10th place on the Royals' all-time list.
• Shortstop Alcides Escobar has hit safely in six of his last seven games and was 7-for-24 on the Royals' road trip.

According to calorie-count.com, Hodgson Mill VWG is 66.6% protein. Reported at 12 gram increments, that percentage may not be perfectly accurate, but even still, it looks like 60% remains a mythical percentage. I'm going to go ahead and add Hodgson Mill to the list on the tool. If someone procures a different protein percentage, let me know.http://www.calorie-count.com/calories/item/89233.html
