LA Galaxy Academy forward Haji Wright scored in the U.S. Under-17's 2-1 defeat to Portugal at the Nike International Friendlies on Monday.
Wright scored in the 13th minute to give the U.S. a lead, but the Europeans quickly answered with a goal in the 27th minute to tie the score. Portugal took the lead for good in stoppage time to defeat the Americans.
The U.S. return to action on Wednesday against England who fell 2-1 to Brazil in their first match.
There's a number of intriguing players up for selection in the 2013 MLS Re-Entry Draft Process and I've highlighted four prospects that may be of interest for the Galaxy in either Stage One or Stage Two of the process.
As one point, all four of these players are selections that I would anticipate in Stage Two when teams can renegotiate their salary numbers. I also won't be selecting players who were on the Galaxy's squad in 2013 although Franklin and Courtois are interesting options to possibly return.
One of the most exciting players on the list, Espindola struggled in his only season with the New York Red Bulls, but could be a valuable asset to a Galaxy squad searching for further scoring options.
Espindola scored nine goals in 28 appearances with New York with two assists after being traded from RSL. Prior to his time with NYRB, Espindola was a dangerous weapon for Real Salt Lake scoring 35 league goals with 17 assists in six seasons with the club.
During that time, Espindola scored four times against the Galaxy as he was able to terrorize LA with his speed and finishing ability.
The LA Galaxy are searching to add a target forward and former FC Dallas forward Kenny Cooper could be that option.
Cooper can be versatile even playing on the wing in some occasions but he may be able to benefit the Galaxy with his size and aerial threat. That being said, Cooper is likely to be a costly option for a Galaxy team that is likely to reshape its payroll amount in the coming years. The 29-year-old scored six goals for FCD in 31 appearances in 2013.
Cheaper options could include Andre Akpan formerly of the Colorado Rapids or Toronto FC's Justin Braun.
The 2011 MLS MVP is an extremely intriguing selection, but is coming off a season that saw him make 24 appearances and score just three goals for a D.C. United side that finished at the bottom of MLS.
Despite his tough season, there's no doubt that De Rosario has the type of finishing touch and playmaking ability that could make him an asset for the Galaxy alongside Robbie Keane and Landon Donovan. Plus with Donovan expected to be away for several matches due to international commitments next season, De Rosario could be an apt stopgap.
All this may be moot; however, as according to a report in the Toronto Sun, his former club Toronto FC is open to bringing back the Canadian international. De Rosario isn't the only MLS MVP on the list, however, as he's joined by 2010 selection David Ferreira who saw his option declined by FC Dallas.
Calen Carr has had major health issues over the past two seasons, but when healthy, Carr has the type of speed that could make him useful in 2014 for LA.
Staying fit has been the knock against Carr who has dealt with knee and concussion issues over the last several years. Although Carr was predominantly used a forward in Houston, the 2012 MLS Cup goal scorer could transition to a wide role with the Galaxy where he could use his speed to stretch defenses.
Plus with his injury concerns, Carr would likely be a cheap low risk, high reward option for the Galaxy. Similar to this idea could be ex-Seattle Sounders FC midfielder Steve Zakuani who was one of the Sounders' regulars before a dramatic knee injury in 2012 or former New England Revolution outside back Kevin Alston.
*For options that may be further down the list, but players like Yordany Alvarez and Bobby Boswell may be interesting options as is Joel Lindpere.
The LA Galaxy will have four players available for the 2013 MLS Re-Entry Process including 2008 MLS Rookie of the Year Sean Franklin.
The Galaxy declined options on Colin Clark, Laurent Courtois and Sean Franklin while Pablo Mastroeni was out of contract. Franklin made 40 appearances in all competitions for the Galaxy in 2013 with two goals and three assists. Clark, who joined LA in the 2012 Re-Entry process made just 13 appearances much of them at the start of the season while both Mastroeni and Courtois—each acquired in midseason trades—made less than 13 appearances.
Stage One of the Re-Entry Process will take place on Dec. 12 at 12 p.m. PT while Stage Two will take place on Dec. 18 at 12 p.m. PT. Remember that little action typically takes place in Stage One as clubs have to sign a player at their 2013 salary or extend a Bona Fide Offer to that player and teams have until Dec. 11 to negotiate with those players made eligible for the process. Following the first stage, the action typically gets even more heated as teams look to either bring back players or make selections in Stage Two of the process.
The field is set for the 2013 NCAA College Cup at PPL Park in Philadelphia.
Maryland, who produced Galaxy stars A.J. DeLaGarza, Omar Gonzalez and Robbie Rogers, booked their ticket to the national championship in Philadelphia with a 2-1 victory over California in Berkeley on Saturday. They'll face Virginia, who rose to soccer prominence under the leadership of Bruce Arena, who led the Cavaliers to five titles in 18 years as the team's head coach. The Cavaliers defeated the North Carolina 1-0 last Friday.
In the other semifinal, New Mexico will take on Notre Dame after defeating Washington 1-0 in Seattle. Notre Dame defeated Michigan State 2-1
LA Galaxy Academy product Haji Wright has been called up for the U.S. Under-17's roster for the upcoming 2013 Nike International Friendlies.
U.S. U-17 head coach Richie Williams' 20-man group will face Portugal on Monday before matches against England on Dec. 11 and Brazil on Dec. 13 at the Premier Sports Campus in Lakewood, Florida.

MLS and adidas unveiled the 2014 Match Ball on Sunday.
The 2014 adidas MLS Match Ball which is based on the "Brazuca," the official ball for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. According to MLS, the colors are meant to represent "a heart, as the ball is the heart of the soccer and MLS."
What are your thoughts on the new MLS match ball?
On Friday, I told you that the U.S. National Team's draw into Group G with Germany, Portugal and Ghana at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil isn't an impossible one, and LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena seems to agree.
In his latest article in the Los Angeles Times, Arena states that the U.S. will be competitive and even states that he expects them to advance from the Group.
Arena's choices to advance from the groups are as followed, but remember they are not necessarily the positions that the teams will finish.
Group A: Brazil and Croatia. Group B: Spain and Netherlands. Group C: Colombia and Ivory Coast. Group D: Uruguay and Italy. Group E: Ecuador and France. Group F: Argentina and Nigeria. Group G: Germany and United States. Group H: Belgium and Russia.
Arena's choices several months out led me to make my own decisions which you can see below. Now remember that these could -- and probably will -- change as the months go by.
Group A: Brazil and Mexico. Group B: Spain and Netherlands. Group C: Colombia and Japan. Group D: Uruguay and Italy. Group E: France and Honduras. Group F: Argentina and Nigeria. Group G: Germany and United States. Group H: Belgium and Russia.
LA Galaxy center back Omar Gonzalez has been featured on the cover of the latest edition of Overlap magazine.
In addition to being placed on the cover, Gonzalez is the subject of a piece titled "The Happiest Man in Los Angeles County" is a selection of photos by New York photographer Matt Rubin.
A teaser photo of Omar playing a mean air saxophone can be seen below.
Check out the piece in its entirety as well as the rest of the magazine here.
The U.S. National Team will be testing themselves against the likes of Ghana, Portugal and Germany at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil next summer and are already relishing the opportunity to tackle a "Group of Death."
During a media scrum at a World Cup draw watch party at Sporting Park in Kansas City, Omar Gonzalez and other U.S. national team members remarked about the Americans' placement in Group G. One highlight for Gonzalez will be another chance to take on one of the planet's finest players in Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo.
"I faced him for the Galaxy once before and that was fun, but I think he's going to be even harder playing for his country in this tournament," Gonzalez told reporters of his bouts with Ronaldo in 2010 and 2012 friendlies. "I think it's going to be awesome and it should be a fun time."
Even though Gonzalez will be looking to make his first-ever World Cup roster, the Galaxy defender admitted that he correctly anticipated where the U.S. would fall upon learning the first two participants in Group G.
"Once Germany and Ghana got paired together I figured this is probably going to be us," Gonzalez admitted. "Fate's going to align, and it's all going to happen."
CARSON, Calif. – Clint Mathis knows a little something about playing – and excelling – at the World Cup and after watching the U.S. National Team's draw for the 2014 edition in Brazil, he believes the Americans can advance from their "Group of Death."
Mathis, who appeared in two games during the U.S. National Team's run to the quarterfinals of the 2002 World Cup, which included a stunning goal against South Korea helping the Americans to a 1-1 draw. During that tournament, the Americans faced two of their opponents for 2014 as they defeated Portugal 3-2—with Mathis watching from the bench—in their group stage opener while falling 1-0 to eventual tournament runner-up Germany in the quarterfinals.
Mathis' thoughts on the U.S. National Team's World Cup draw for Brazil is below…
MATHIS: "Obviously, we've definitely seen quite a few of these teams in the last few World Cups. Obviously, Germany is going to be a favorite, but I think in the past, the U.S. has done well against those guys. The one particular team that they haven't been too successful with is Ghana, but being knocked out of the last two World Cups by the same team, maybe the third time is the charm for the U.S. It's going to be the first game so I think that a lot will be on the line, but if the U.S. can get a result in that first game that would definitely change the whole outcome of the group. Then there's Portugal, who we were successful against in 2002 in the first group stage game. It's two different teams though and Portugal is not a team that you can sit back on. It's in my opinion, the toughest group if not the toughest then it is the second toughest. If you're playing in a World Cup, it's never easy so I don't think there's not too much to worry about because every game is going to be tough no matter what group you're in. The good thing is if the U.S. gets out of this group stages, I think it should be easier when normally it gets harder."
(On what is running through the players' minds about facing Ghana once again…)
MATHIS: "I think there's a lot of excitement. If you look at guys like Landon or other guys who have been put out by the same team, I think there's a lot of excitement on the revenge side. They're saying 'hey, we've got them in a group stage not a knockout stage' so I think there's some excitement to get some revenge because you can say 'hey, you know what. Everyone is already going to count us out, we're the underdogs' and I think that's not a bad mindset to go into this World Cup like we've got nothing to lose because no one is thinking that the U.S. can get out of his group right now."
(On whether the U.S. group stage is similar to what he faced during the 2002 World Cup…)
MATHIS: "I think so. Everyone thought that the U.S. had no chance to get out of our group and we did well. I think there is something to say because these other teams are going to be fighting too. Portugal is sitting saying 'why am I in this group?' Ghana is saying the same thing and Germany is going 'are you kidding me?' Anything can happen in these games and no one is going to want to play against the U.S. per say because of the athleticism and the results that they could turn out. I think that it is going to be a tough group and I don't think that any of the teams are too excited to be in this group."

Powerline Network Adapter Shootout
Thu, Apr 19, 2012 - 12:00 AM
Powerline Adapters An Overview
For those of you who have never used a Powerline Adapter to connect your network, using one of these devices is as simple as plugging a cell-phone-sized box into a wall outlet and connecting a network cable to it. The Powerline adapter is able to connect computers in your home using existing electrical wiring to create a network. This set up doesn't add to your electrical bill whatsoever, and provides theoretical network speed of up to 500Mbps. You can find many of these Powerline Network Adapters for well under $100 per unit – of course you need two units for a connection. All of the units that we tested today came bundled with two network adapters and retail for well under $200.
To be honest, this article isn't written to give the reader a complete primer on what a Powerline Network Adapter is all the ins-and-outs of how they work. There are plenty of resources on the web that will give you a feel for that. This is strictly a look at how four of the most popular manufactures on the market compared to each other. Our main objective is to find out how high-definition video would stream with these adapters in a single-family home environment. Of course there are tons of different needs that a Powerline adapter can solve, but we thought viewing 1080p videos was one of the toughest (and popular) problems to handle.
Our main use is the transmitting of data for HD streaming, but as data will show later, it doesn't really matter what your primary use is, you should be able to get some useful information from our test results. Before we get into the numbers, let's take a quick look at Powerline Adapters.

Explained why something (the behavior) was wrong.
Interviewer instructions
The following questions are specially designed to measure various ways in which parents discipline their children. These questions are not intended to cover ALL ways that parents use to discipline children, but do cover some of the more common methods. It is important that you ask each question in a neutral way - do not let your voice reflect approval or disapproval of the various discipline methods mentioned. First, start with the introductory sentence in CD12. --- Ask the selected child's mother or primary caretaker the questions in the Child Discipline module, beginning with CD12A. It is important to mention that we are interested in knowing only about what may have occurred during the past month - the 30 days preceding the survey. When asking the questions, remind the respondent, from time to time, that you are asking about the last 30 days or one month, and that you are interested if she/he or anyone else has used this method with the child. Circle '1' for 'Yes' and '2' for 'No' in all questions up to CD12K. --- When a child does something wrong, some parents/caretakers try to teach the child not to repeat the behaviour by explaining why they consider the behaviour to be wrong. For example, a young child playing with matches may be told not to do so, because he or she could accidentally start a fire.

It can sometimes be infuriating to Americans that Russia and China would be ready to veto any United Nations Security Council resolution calling for intervention to punish Syrias Bashar al-Assad for his regimes use of chemical weapons in an attack that took an estimated 1,400 lives, including 400 children.
When the United Nations was created in 1945, it was decided that any of the five permanent members of the Security Council (the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, China and France) had the right to veto any resolution brought before the council, thus preventing the taking of steps the other members may favor.
Perhaps, as critics maintain, the veto provision was a terrible mistake and perhaps theyre right. But it would be wrong to believe that the veto power doesnt serve American interests as well as those of our sometimes adversaries.
The United States has frequently exercised the right to cast a veto. And savvy political scientists argue that as frustrating as a veto by the Russians or the Chinese may be on a particular resolution, from time to time the veto has proved vital to the interests of the foreign policy of the United States.
The first American veto was cast in 1970 and dealt with a major crisis in what was then Rhodesia, which is now Zimbabwe. The United Kingdom, of which Rhodesia had been a colony, vetoed seven Security Council resolutions on that subject. Two years later, the United States cast the only veto on a resolution that was critical of Israel.
In fact, since 1972 the United States has been by far the most frequent user of the veto and nearly all the vetoes involved resolutions that Washington agreed were contrary to Israels political interests, thus creating a great deal of friction between the American delegation and the U.N. General Assembly.
Two years ago, the Obama administration cast vetoes on resolutions condemning Israel construction of controversial settlements that many, perhaps even most, Americans opposed. But our nations foreign policy interests prevailed.
There have been serious debates about the virtues and evils of the Security Councils veto powers. There is the belief, for example, that the five permanent members may no longer represent the most stable and responsible member states in the United Nations. After all, those who make the point argue, the world has changed dramatically since 1945, but membership on the Security Council remains as it was then.
Critics also argue that the very existence of the Security Council members veto power can prevent the adoption of important steps affecting delicate matters of international peace and security, matters that are, after all, the very reason the U.N. was created in the first place.
In addition, critics have argued that the very threat of the veto power may impede balanced political decisions because any draft resolution must first be approved by each of the five permanent members before it can be adopted. Several such proposed draft resolutions never formally reached the Council for a vote because their sponsors knew beforehand that at least one permanent member would exercise its veto power.
In a recent letter to The New York Times, Benjamin Ferencz, a prosecutor at the Nuremberg war crimes trials after World War II, suggested that in the case of Syria, the Security Council should refer the matter to the International Criminal Court in The Hague because that body is competent to penalize crimes against humanity.
But who would ensure Assads presence for that trial?
In short, theres no clear-cut path to justice in this case.MORE IN CommentaryThe state trooper who resigned this week after his offensive online remarks came to light showed...

VIERA, Fla. — The Nationals claimed veteran catcher Chris Coste off waivers from the Mets this afternoon, a move designed to add some insurance behind the plate at Class AAA Syracuse in case of more injuries at the position.
Coste, 37, is immediately added to the Nationals' 40-man roster and will report to big-league camp. But because he still has a minor-league option, he can be sent down to Syracuse before Opening Day.
With Jesus Flores (shoulder) and Jamie Burke (knee) injured and opening the season on the disabled list, the Nats were left with no viable catching options in case something happened to either Ivan Rodriguez or Wil Nieves. Jhonathan Solano, 22, is expected to be Syracuse's other catcher when the season begins.
Despite his advanced age, Coste has spent only four years in the majors. He debuted with the Phillies in 2006 at age 33 and proceeded to hit .282 with 23 homers and 98 RBI in 256 games over parts of theRead more »

They need as many mentors as they can get down there catching wise. I guess they still have John Poppet, now a coach. It'll be interesting to see how the minor league rosters get constructed in the coming days.
- Eddie - Mar 29, 2010 at 8:16 PM
So wait, they're going to play Coste everyday in Syracuse OVER Jhonatan Solano, the promising youngster?
- peric - Mar 29, 2010 at 8:18 PM
Did you enjoy your lunch while finding this out? @Eddie he is a replacement for Jamie Burke who had knee surgery. That means he is Solano's (among others) mentor.
- natsfan1a - Mar 29, 2010 at 8:27 PM
I remember hearing a Nats radio interview with Coste back in the day. He was with the Phillies at that point, I believe. They mentioned his book describing the journey from the minors to the bigs. I'd meant to read it at some point but haven't yet done so. We'd have quite the literary battery if he ever ended up catching Batista.
- Jaxpo Nat - Mar 29, 2010 at 8:37 PM
He wasn't signed to be anyone's mentor. Christ, if we are resorting to signing a career minor league catcher as a mentor we are in pitiful shape. No, he was signed solely as veteran insurance against a Pudge or Nieves injury (Burke is hurt and obviously they feel Solano isn't "there" yet). He will be stashed in AAA in the meantime. Who cares how many at bats he gets in Syracuse – it isn't like we are trying to develop him. I would think Solano would still get the lion's share of AAA ABs.
- Traveler8 - Mar 29, 2010 at 8:55 PM
Just checked for Coste's book on Amazon and Barnes & Noble used books – his book from last year, the 33 Year Old Rookie, is readily available, cheaper on B&N. His book from 1998, Hey,I'm Just The Catcher, is out of print so will cost you $199 on Amazon.
- peric - Mar 29, 2010 at 8:57 PM
@Jaxpo Nat: The Mets planned on using Coste for that role? John Poppet provided that role for the Nats; and is now a coach? The only true mentors by your criteria would be Boone and IRod? That doesn't make sense either? There aren't many true MLB types with that love of the game that they would start new careers as coaches and mentors in the bush leagues riding buses again. LOL They exist but I guess they are rare. Finding hall-of-famers in that category may be exceedingly rare.
- K.D. - Mar 29, 2010 at 9:18 PM
Watched him as a backup to Pudge on the Astros last year. He wasn't bad as a backup first baseman either.
- Jaxpo Nat - Mar 29, 2010 at 9:24 PM
@Peric – The Mets COULD HAVE used Coste for that role but obviously didn't want to. No, the Mets signed him at a time when they had no clue who their MAJOR LEAGUE catchers would be. Think you are way over-analyzing this signing. It is what it is – veteran depth.
- natsfan1a - Mar 29, 2010 at 10:18 PM
You had to go and tell us that, Traveler. Soon I'll have another baseball book in my bedside to-be-read rotation.
- natsfan1a - Mar 29, 2010 at 10:20 PM
(Not the $199 one, btw. ;-))
- BinM - Mar 29, 2010 at 11:04 PM
Coste is an insurance policy. With Flores most likely headed to the 60-DL, and Burke on the DL-7 in SYR, the Nationals wanted something a little better than the Maldonado/Johnson combination in SYR with Solano, as well as a proven MLB CA, should either Nieves or Rodriguez get nicked up early in the season. This is a good move by Rizzo, imo.

But why don't you pick a 4+GB flash drive and install the newest version of <your favourite distro> on it and enable the unstable stuff? Then you can easily test things out without any damage to your work machine.
(You most probably have a machine which you can boot from a pendrive.)
Just my 2 cents.

Sunburn can happen within 15 minutes of being in the sun, but the redness and discomfort may not be noticed for a few hours. Repeated sunburns can lead to skin cancer. Unprotected sun exposure is even more dangerous for kids who have many moles or freckles, very fair skin and hair, or a family history of skin cancer.

Kind of feel bad for him. He seems so uninterested in being tested, and I don't blame him. It's like you know his capabilities and know he can pop the mind blowing when he's into it, but he's half assing cause he doesn't want to. But then again, every station wants the exclusive freestyle for the ratings so, he knows it comes with the territory. Kudos sir...
Freestyle is DOPE!

If he can do it you surely can, am I wrong?

Tattooing in Jewish Law
Though a biblical ban on tattooing remains in force, a contemporary rabbi probes the prohibition's limits and explores the rationale behind it.
Reprinted with permission of the Rabbinical Assembly.
The prohibition of tattooing is found in the Torah: "You shall not make gashes in your flesh for the dead, or incise any marks on yourselves: I am the Lord" (Leviticus 19:28).
It is the second part of this verse from which we derive the general prohibition against tattooing. From the outset there is disagreement about what precisely makes tattooing a prohibited act. The anonymous author of a mishnah [an individual statement in the compilation known as the Mishnah] states that it is the lasting and permanent nature of tattooing which makes it a culpable act: "If a man wrote [on his skin] pricked-in writing, he is not culpable unless he writes it and pricks it in with ink or eye-paint or anything that leaves a lasting mark" (Mishnah Makkot 3:6).
But Rabbi Simeon ben Judah disagrees and says that it is the inclusion of God's name which makes it a culpable act: "Rabbi Simeon ben Judah says in the name of Rabbi Simeon: He is not culpable unless he writes there the name [of a god], for it is written, 'Or incise any marks on yourselves: I am the Lord'" (ibid.).
The Gemarah [i.e., the Babylonian Talmud (BT)] goes on to debate whether it is the inclusion of God's name or a pagan deity that makes it a culpable act.
Maimonides clearly sees the origin of this prohibition as an act of idolatry. He includes it in his section concerning idolatry and then explicitly states: "This was a custom among the pagans who marked themselves for idolatry…." But, [Maimonides] concludes that regardless of intent, the act of tattooing is prohibited (Mishneh Torah, Laws of Idolatry 12:11).
Biblical Israelites May Have Had Tattoos
Professor Aaron Demsky of Bar-Ilan University, in an article in the Encyclopaedia Judaica ("Writing"), goes even further to suggest that non-idolatrous tattooing may have been permitted in biblical times. He cites the following biblical references: "One shall say, 'I am the Lord's,' and another shall use the name of Jacob, and another shall mark his arm 'of the Lord' and adopt the name of Israel" (Isaiah 44:5), "See, I have engraved You on the palms of my hands…" (Isaiah 49:16), and " ...is a sign on every man's hand that all men may know His doings" (Job 37:7).

Tigers look to increase division lead vs. rolling rookie
Fister, Paxton square off as Detroit aims to drop magic number
Rookie left-hander James Paxton makes his third Major League start, and again faces a tough foe in the Tigers. Paxton is 2-0 with a 0.75 ERA, having allowed just one earned run and six hits in 12 innings against the Rays and Cardinals.
The 24-year-old shut out the Cardinals for six innings on two hits with five strikeouts in his last outing at Busch Stadium. But he'll face another test against Detroit, a team that is fighting for the postseason while boasting one of the most potent lineups in baseball.
"He's pitching in a very mature fashion for someone who has only had a couple starts," manager Eric Wedge said of Paxton. "He's pitching with a great deal of confidence and seems to be calm out there. The ball is jumping out of his hand. It's only been a couple outings, but there have been some good things to see out there. He's pitched against a couple good ballclubs."
The Tigers' fearsome bats will look to make up for Detroit's 8-0 loss on Wednesday in the third game of the series. Though the club retains a six-game lead in the American League Central, it has turned into one of the toughest divisions in baseball with three teams well above .500.
Former Mariners starter Doug Fister will take the hill for the Tigers. He played 2 1/2 seasons with the Mariners before he was traded for outfielder Casper Wells, left-hander Charlie Furbush and prospects Francisco Martinez and Chance Ruffin.
Fister was dominant in his last start, allowing one run on eight hits in 7 2/3 innings in a loss. He has a 1.29 ERA in two starts against his former team.
"After the first inning, Fister was terrific because he made an adjustment," manager Jim Leyland said. "He started mixing in other pitches, because you could see that their game plan was to charge first-pitch. He was trying to get ahead and they were looking to whack that first one, which they did in the first inning a little bit. After that, he made a great adjustment and pitched a terrific game."
Paxton went 8-11 with a 4.45 ERA in 28 starts in Triple-A Tacoma before his September promotion, but seems to be pitching his best ball late in the year, and now in the Majors.
He pitched in front of 41,000 fans at Busch Stadium and figures to see another big house at Comerica Park, but Paxton said he just zeroed in on the job at hand against the Cardinals.
"I was really just locked in on the catcher," Paxton said. "I didn't hear the crowd much or notice how many people were there until they took me out of the game. I said to somebody, 'Wow, it's loud. There's a lot of people here, huh?' But I just stayed locked in and focused on what was going on."
It appears that Leyland is giving the lefty a lot of respect, as the Tigers made a number of moves with an eye toward lining up right-handed hitters against Paxton. Torii Hunter had the day off on Wednesday, and former Mariners outfielder Matt Tuiasosopo is slated to make his third start in four days.
Mariners: Wedge says bad comes with good for rookies
Rookies such as Nick Franklin, Brad Miller, Taijuan Walker, and Paxton have been valuable contributors for the Mariners this year, and they have shown that they can be integral members of the team for years to come.
"You don't ever really know until a guy gets up here and pitches," Wedge said of Paxton. "That's been very impressive, the heartbeat he's had out there."
Still, the Mariners' young crop of talent has not been free of the mistakes that plague most rookies, and there have been some key defensive lapses lately by the youngsters. Still, Wedge says that errors come with the territory when dealing with younger players, and that the struggles are understandable.
"We have 20-some players here that have less than three years coming into this year," Wedge said. "That's a big number. So you have to be patient and work through it. It's a rebuild. That's what it was when I got here, and you have to continue to work these guys in."
Tigers: Martinez starts behind plate to prepare for postseason
Victor Martinez will start at catcher for just the third time this season in the Tigers' second game against the Mariners. The move allows Detroit to move Miguel Cabrera from third base to designated hitter.
One reason for the switch may be to give Cabrera a break during a day game played immediately after a night game on Tuesday. Switch-hitting Ramon Santiago will start at third base in Cabrera's place.
Worth noting
• The Tigers have struggled against Seattle, winning just seven of their last 19 games against the Mariners.
• In the first seven games of Seattle's 10-game road trip, the Mariners face the No. 3 and No. 4 pitching staffs in the Majors. The seven starters the Mariners faced -- and will face -- entered their respective games against Seattle with a combined 83-53 record and a 3.38 ERA.

"Beautiful skin requires commitment, not a miracle." – Erno Laszlo
A review of the history of skin care quickly reveals how much we owe to Erno Laszlo, the Hungarian skin pathologist who established many of the principles that are now commonplace features of skin care. In 1927, Laszlo made headlines by curing a Hungarian princess of chronic acne that no other physician had been able to treat. By 1937, Hollywood celebrities like Ava Gardner and Grace Kelly were flocking to him for help with their complexions. The effectiveness of Laszlo's methods caused a worldwide sensation, but it wasn't miracle cures that he was offering to women; Laszlo's methods centered on establishing a good daily skin care regimen of cleansing and moisturizing.

THE ONLY SOAP FOR ME, EVER - 3/6/2015 12:24:50 PM I totally agree with the previous reviewer Chouey. I used this all through the 70's and I had gorgeous skin and it really kept pimples at bay. Then it disappeared. Segue to the 21st century. I have used every expensive cleanser out there for my huge pores, sporadic acne, oily nose and rosacea. Then, when browsing for yet another cleanser, I saw my beloved black soap of "Annie Hall" fame and I bought it immediately. It is like coming home!!! My skin is so much cleaner...I use it with my Clarisonic...and my pores smaller, blackheads lessened and my rosacea much, much less noticeable. I wet the bar, rub it over my skin like a little sander, which was part of the original Laszlo "ritual," then use my Clarisonic and my skin is shiny and taut. It's a great exfoliator, too. Just LOVE this cleanser!!! Please don't take it away, EVER!!!!purchase was for a gift - 11/11/2014 11:40:43 AM Bought this for my daughter subsequent to her pre-cancer skin treatment - nicely hydrates and she likes it - she customarily used the sea mud soap but not the oil - this is better. (Profile answers refer to me, not her - she's only 40 and her skin is sensitive)- 5/11/2014 8:32:27 AM It was like finding an old friend. I became a fan of Erno Laszlo in the 70's & believe it is was the foundation for my quest to find the best anti-aging products before it was too late. It seemed to suddenly leave the marketplace & I was left to finding alternatives which never matched up. Sea mud soap was the foundation that prepared the skin for what beauty regimen was to follow. Words cannot explain the joy I felt when I found sea mud soap on your products list. Even Dr. Oz endorsed sea mud soap as a great addition to a beauty regimen. Thank you Skin Store for offering this product after all these years.EL great toner for any age - 5/8/2013 7:52:33 PM I just want to say that this is not drying at all. Pores are smaller and skin is tighter. I am thrilled to have found this toner. I will never go back to my old brand. You will love it!!Effective treatment - 4/21/2013 7:25:33 AM This cream is thick when applied, however it absorbs and skin looks healthy in the morning. I love all Laszlo products. I left and came back and I won't leave again. I would use it at night only, I purchased another cream for daytime use.Excellent Product - 4/15/2013 5:57:17 AM I used the Laszlo routine several years ago and went away. I'm very happy to be back, my skin is stabilizing again and looks terrific. I'm a 10:30 (Dry) and this is the same as I had in my earlier use. There is a definite shrinking of pores as my skin is so clean. It seems counter intuitive putting oil on your face, but it works like magic. I won't stop again.Instant Relief! - 1/26/2013 5:06:04 AM Comfort for Winter Cold! Thanks for Very Fast Service!Great soap, clinical smell - 10/25/2012 6:21:05 AM I really like this soap, for oily skin it works great, antibacterial, non abrasive, will provide a matte canvas, mild and a great amount for your money, which will last for long time, the only coin is the smell, they added parfum (as written in the ingredients list), but this soap smells clinical and not pleasant, lavender, fruit, or sandalwood, but not clinical please.....regards, Salvo PS: this soap is made by Erno Laszlo since decades and still has the same smell, just the color is now blue, before it was brown.Not enough - 10/13/2012 6:21:05 PM This is a very thick moisturizer, however it calms irritated skin almost immediately. The only thing i noticed is that my skin is still rough the morning after or at the end of the day...so i mix it with another product that contains hyaluronic acid and its perfect.Nothing Like It! - 10/7/2012 10:01:17 AM I have used this product for years! I actually use it more as a first aid cream than a moisturizer. It works practically overnight on burns, cuts, sunburn. It is unbelievably healing! Well worth the $$$$! -

Designed by Grace from CANVAS.
I centered the theme of this design around Superman. As a superhero, Superman is often paralleled to Christ. However, Superman is a non-perfect hero who sins and has weaknesses, unlike Jesus. So I transformed the Superman logo and put a cross inside the diamond outline instead of the famous "S". I really like the phrase "Invincible in Christ," and I thought it very fitting for this shirt.

Expected that but YES
Phoronix: Unreal Tournament 3 For Linux Confirmed
While everyone was expecting Unreal Tournament 3 for Linux based upon Epic Games providing native Linux clients for their past Unreal Tournament titles, this week it was officially confirmed by Epic's Mark Rein that there will be a Linux client for UT3. Mark Rein is the VP of Epic Games as well as being their forum administrator.
Expected that but YES
Yeah that was definitely expected, as with the Quake Wars Linux client. This year is a good year for Linux gaming for sure. I'm pretty excited about the two games, when I build my new system at the end of the year, I look forward to these games.
Last edited by Malikith; 08-19-2007 at 11:12 AM.
Mark already announced the dicision to provide Linux-client-support a few months ago in a direct x 10-related thread in the UT3-forums.
The reality is, the quality games for the large part have interchangeable sound, input, rendering, etc. backends that handle things like DirectInput versus SDL or Direct3D versus OpenGL anyhow- and if you are targeting PS3, you HAVE to use OpenGL at this point...
Once you've gone down the path of supporting PS3, a MacOS and Linux version is easier than most are willing to own up to.
Yeah, or if you're EA, you just use Transgaming Cider for everything.... I hate EA. Always have haha. If anyone has the manpower and money to do real ports, its them for sure. But I guess they want to "maximize" their profits and have as many bugs as possible.
I don't hold it against a company for using something like Wine to port their game, at least if they originally coded for DirectX and decided they wanted to have a port and truely don't have the money and manpower to do a true port. I think most companies are starting to come around, slowly. And with two major games coming out for Linux this year, I think that will help the cause.
Last edited by Malikith; 08-20-2007 at 11:16 AM.
Yeah, that's awsome. It's nice to get some reassurance every now and then even if it is expected. I think a lot of PC game developers underestimate the market potential of the Linux community. It's no surprise that my gaming time has significantly decreased as I've started using linux more over the past couple of years. But at the same time, it's kind of funny, in a way it's actually reenergized my zeal for gaming. As new games get released or announced with native Linux ports, I get that much more excited for it.
Yep I know exactly what you mean. Same case for me, basically I have no intention of touching Windows anymore. I think like this, if I can't run it in Linux, I'll find something else to take its place. Theres always something out there, but yeah, I know what you mean about re energizing.
Its like for some reason, when playing games in Windows, you just feel like I don't know, things are going downward? But in Linux its the opposite feeling? To me, I feel more positive when I use Linux, especially with gaming. It just has a feel to it that feels similar to what I call the golden era of gaming.
One thing i'd like to add is that i've noticed games in Linux generally are very good games. However theres alot of bad games in Windows. They're either poorly coded, or just don't have alot of fun factor to them, alot of times, both. I think gaming in Linux is very underrated, even by people who use Linux that can't let go of their Windows games. Because every game we get, is usually good, like recently, we got X3: Reunion, just came out on Tux Games. Thats a pretty good game, ported from Windows, rewritten to use Opengl. Its actually one of the best looking games out there at the moment and gameplay wise, its very open ended and has a great community. But it has a long learning curve. I'd probably rate it a 7 or 8 out of 10.
However, lets look at Battlefield 2 by EA, Windows only game. This game is plagued by bugs, has only 1 gametype, and to have a ranked server where you can have global stats (which I don't care about), you have to get a server from one of their providers, you can't host a ranked server of your own, but you can have a non ranked. So the game gets stale very quickly in my opinion. It also seems to have a selfish community.
I mean you can compare all day. Compare a Linux game against a Windows only game, usually the Linux game will win, no matter what game you choose in most aspects. Theres a few Windows only games though that would be nice to have. Half-Life 2, Jedi Outcast/Academy (Quake 3 engine driven games that run perfectly in wine), and maybe a few others.
But with the games we've got, Quake 3, Quake 4, UT 2004, the legion of open source games we have like Wesnoth, and other retail games like Uplink, X2, X3, and the free Enemy Territory, and alot more games, and Quake Wars and UT 3 coming out, I think things are good. Theres plenty out there in my opinion. But theres always room for more. I would say the only games we are really lacking that i'd like to see are RPGs, theres Neverwinter Nights of course but thats really the only one. I'm not saying mmorpgs, just rpgs, I think most mmorpgs are kind of a plague, but there are a few out there that look pretty interesting like Eve, which is getting a port (through wine), i've never played it but alot of people like it.
So in the end, we get games where developers go the extra mile, to make the game that much better, and to give us a port. I think I want the games that go the extra mile than the games that get rushed.

Im a classy lady in this attire
The blouse is excellent for hot to humid when you're still wanting to look your best. The skirt adds a splash of joy with sophistication. Church, work, or business take your pick. They will remember you. Belt can vary.
August 31, 2013
Gorgeous Color
I tried this shirt on in the store because of the rich color, but ultimately decided to walk away because I was unsure about the odd slit in the bottom. Two days later I got my Limited Reward in the mail and got online and ordered the shirt. It fit perfect, the color is rich and I am so glad that I saw this in person as initially I was turned off by the pink color showcased online. Must have as we transition from summer to fall!!!
August 15, 2013
Color bad
I was so excited when it bought thinking it was a bright vibrant pink. Imagine my disappointment when I received it and it was a maroon!! Not even close! Why is there such a color discrepancy?? Very sad over the color.
July 22, 2013
Color totally different
Sigh...oh Limited, when will your clothes actually look like they do online!? This shirt I thought was a bright pink given the picture!! In fact it is a deep red/burgundy so was totally surprised by that. It also has a weird slit on the front left side you can't see on the model which I wasn't expecting. The biggest problem I had was there is a button and two snaps right at the side of the neck under the ruffle that you have to undo to get your head through...then when you re-do them I felt a little bit like I was being choked. Just all around wasn't a great offering by Limited.
June 25, 2013
color off
online this blouse is red but when it arrived it is burgundy. It fit well but I did not want a burgundy blouse.
June 21, 2013
Disappointed with color
The shirt overall is nice, but the reason I rushed to order it was the bright pink color. It is NOT bright pink.
June 11, 2013
Sophie Theallet Sheer Ruffle Blouse
Fabulous! Soft fluid material. Beautiful shade of color. Fashion that will never go out of style. Fresh.
May 30, 2013
Color not as pictured
The color is called "rich red" but looked pink online. When I received the top the color was more of an oxblood. Doesn't even come close to the bright pink you see on the model. Disappointing.

horseshoe heart trivet
by Alexandra Paliwoda $50.00Handmade
Community Voted
- the story
Lucky in Love
A horseshoe is both an iconic good luck symbol, and a reminder of a simpler, traditional way of life. This horseshoe is embraced by a band of metal that reaches up to form a heart with a curlicue flourish. The fluid form of the heavy metal comes from the blacksmithing talents of Alexandra Paliwoda, who applies her skills to both shoeing horses and decorative work. The piece is itself a blending of the practical and the beautiful: it functions as a sturdy trivet, protecting your wooden surfaces and countertops, but when not in use it is elegant enough to display on the walls for a touch of rustic romance. Handmade in Idaho.
Exclusively at UncommonGoods.

The heart trivet has four tiny pedestals which elevate it from the surface it rests on. These legs allow airflow underneath and prevents direct contact with table surfaces.
- the maker
Alexandra Paliwoda
Inspired by all things wild and free.
Born in the Rocky Mountains and raised in the backcountry of Alaska, Alexandra Paliwoda expresses her love of wild places with her hand-forged ironwork. True to its name, The Backcountry Blacksmith was forged by Alexandra in the Wrangell St. Elias National Park of Alaska, a truly pristine and wild place. Thus inspired by nature, Alexandra creates functional art for the home using recycled and upcycled steel.
Alexandra began working with metal in year 2000 when she was certified as a farrier by Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana forging horseshoes for various horseshoeing applications. Working with horses and in agriculture, living a subsistence lifestyle in Alaska, building her own cabin in the north country, and tending to explore the road less traveled, Alexandra feels that the important things in life, when the day is done, are the experiences. A few of Alex's many interests include travel, photography, playing guitar, fly fishing, kayaking, skiing, and spending time with those she loves. She makes sure her dog Jasper gets his daily run, and of course, melds metal into art!
"I created lasting products that have minimal waste or carbon footprint in terms of production. Hand-forged ironworks are made from recycled materials. They introduce into one's daily life a reminder of the outside world. I believe that each one of us can help everyday in terms of preserving, protecting and caring for the great outdoors by making the choice to be more responsible at home, at work, really just in our own individual spheres of life."

Man's brain fluid leaks out his nose
Runny nose thought to be caused by allergies
What was thought to be year-round allergies actually turned out to be a rare medical problem for one man.
Joe Nagy's nose continued to run everyday for more than 18 months. After trying allergy medicines to fix the constant nasal drip, the Arizona native finally went to a specialist who tested the fluid that was dripping out of his nose and determined it was actually brain fluid, Fox 10 reported. The membrane surrounding Nagy's brain had a hole in it, causing the brain fluid to leak.
Nagy was prepared to have brain surgery to fix the leak, but developed meningitis, which caused the fluid to become infected. The infection eventually cleared up and Nagy was able to have the surgery, which involves "gluing" the hole shut using a surgical needle.

The Royals come fresh off a three-game sweep of the White Sox in Chicago, and they now have claimed their last seven games and 10 of their last 12. They sit just 1 1/2 games behind the Tigers, who, after floundering at the start of the month, just took two of three against Minnesota.
At the start of the month, 6 1/2 games separated Kansas City and first-place Detroit. But the Tigers have scuffled to a 5-8 record in June, while the Royals have gone 10-3.
Kansas City's offense, much maligned at the beginning of the season, has propelled the hot streak. The Royals are averaging 6.4 runs per game in their seven-game win streak, and after a pair of home runs in a 6-3 win on Sunday, Kansas City has 14 home runs in its past 16 games.
"We're swinging the bats. We just couldn't get any consistency as an offensive unit [early in the season]. We'd get one guy hot and that's not enough to carry a team. Now, up and down the lineup, we're much more productive as a group," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "We knew that it would come. We knew that you take a look at our guys and their career numbers, we knew that it would break out sooner or later and when it did we'd go on a nice run. And that's what we kept saying all along."
The Royals have yet to beat the Tigers in five games this season.
Jason Vargas (6-2, 3.30 ERA) will look to snap the streak on Monday in the series opener. He'll oppose Detroit's Justin Verlander (6-6, 4.61 ERA).
Royals: Yost doesn't see Detroit series as a showdown
With the Royals and Tigers moving in different directions heading into the four-game set, the Royals can take the division lead if they win three of four games from Detroit.
It's only June, and Royals manager Ned Yost simply wants his club's current run of good baseball to continue as long as possible. But do the Royals have something to prove since they have yet to beat the Tigers this season?
"I don't play that 'got something to prove' game," Yost said. "We come out and we play baseball every day as hard as we can, best we can. No matter what happens, there's a long season left.
"Do we want to really go in there hot like we are? Yeah. We're in the best position to go in there that we could be in, and we'll just take it from there."
Tigers: Verlander struggling
Detroit's ace has not been his usual self over his first 14 starts this season.
Verlander is coming off an 8-2 loss last Wednesday to the White Sox. He issued four free passes for the second straight game and allowed seven runs in 5 2/3 innings.
Verlander cruised into the sixth, having allowed just one run. But Chicago put a seven spot up in that inning and chased Verlander from the game.
"I need to cut down on those walks. That's what led to the big inning, obviously," Verlander said. "I think there were two, maybe three hard-hit balls the entire game. I'm missing bats, missing sweet spots. Just gotta not allow extra baserunners."
Verlander's 4.64 ERA is the highest he's posted since 2008. Perhaps most troubling is his plummeting K/9 ratio. It currently sits at 6.6, compared to a 8.4 career figure.
Worth noting:
• Billy Butler has owned Verlander in his career. The Royals designated hitter owns a .432 average (32-for-74) against the righty with two home runs and four doubles.
• Ian Kinsler has the most experience vs. Vargas of any Tiger. In 50 at-bats, Kinsler has collected 16 hits (.320 average), including two homers and six doubles.

Mason bees fly to the rescue of failing orchards
Article Summary
Many readers would already be familiar with Colony Collapse Disorder and the mysterious worldwide disappearance of honeybees. Everything from mites to viruses to electromagnetic radiation are suspected as its cause and it is potentially disastrous for crops that rely on the bees for pollination. Well, on a small scale at least, help is on the way - some fruit growers in North America are now turning to the indigenous mason bee as an orchard-pollinator. Not only are mason bees not affected by CCD, but they're better at pollinating than honeybees, you need less of them, and they have a more laidback personality, meaning less of those nasty stings.
