The Cubans, also known as Los Cabrones, are a Latin street gang in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. In both games they are led by Umberto Robina and are based in the Little Havana district of Vice City. Cubans are considered the prominent gang in the southern end of the mainland, considering that they defeated the Cholos and the Haitians.
In 1984 the Cubans are known as the Los Cabrones and are in conflict with a Mexican street gang named the Cholos, over control of Little Havana. Umberto Robina employs Vic Vance to aid him in his fight against the Cholos. Umberto Robina asked Victor to prove his worth to his gang by picking up a package from Downtown in a race with Hilberto, Carlos, Fernandez, Ronaldo and other Cuban gang members.
Vic then begins to work with the Cubans, which includes killing various Cholos gang members who are causing havoc in Little Havana, and picking up Alberto Robina from the Hyman Memorial Stadium to avoid a possible abduction and/or murder. The Cubans eventually win the war with the Cholos after stealing their weapons supply and destroying the warehouse they had been stored in.
By 1986, the Cubans found themselves in a war with the Haitians. Umberto Robina contacts and employs Tommy Vercetti to aid him in the war with the Haitians. After completing a boat challenge with Rico, Tommy begins to help Cubans against the Haitians. Following this, Tommy Vercetti helps steal a van full of drugs, killing various Haitians for two briefcases and blowing up a factory owned by the Haitians.
Tommy Vercetti is, however, also working for Auntie Poulet, the leader of the Haitians. Auntie Poulet drugs Tommy with her Juju Juice and has him collect three briefcases before the authorities, blow up boats and Cuban gang members using a remote controlled plane and killing various Cuban gang members in a fight between the Cubans and Haitians. Auntie Poulet eventually tells him that she no longer needs his services.
Tommy eventually returns to working for Cubans, and helps them destroy a Haitian drugs factory in Little Haiti. The final result of the war between Cubans and the Haitians is unknown. Umberto Robina and Cuban gang members also treat Tommy Vercetti as an equal, with Umberto once saying: "Tommy, to us, you Cuban".
Cuban gang members are either seen wearing white sleeveless shirts with a Japanese symbol and writing, red bandanas and jeans, or a fedora hat, light yellow shirts and black pants in Vice City. By 1984 their outfits were more simple, usually wearing polo shirts or short sleeved shirts, slacks and moustache or stubble. They are armed with 9mm pistols.
Mission AppearancesEdit
- GTA Vice City Stories
- GTA Vice City
- Two Bit Hit
- Stunt Boat Challenge
- Cannon Fodder
- Naval Engagement
- The Fastest Boat
- Bombs Away!
- Dirty Lickin's
- Trojan Voodoo
- The outfit worn by Cuban gang members in GTA Vice City is another of the game's numerous references to the TV series Miami Vice—their clothes are based on a prominent extra seen in the show's pilot episode, in the scene where Rico Tubbs first arrives at Miami International Airport. The clothing worn by the Cuban's rivals, the Haitians, is based on another extra walking alongside the first.
- The Cubans are the only gang in GTA VC and VCS that are not hostile towards the player.
- The Cubans are the only gang seen in game of VCS to not have empire sites.
Cuban-American discrimination controversyEdit
The third version of GTA Vice City had all references to the Cuban and Haitian people removed, (along with a number of other trademarks), in response to Cuban and Haitian groups in the United States, who threatened to use action against Rockstar Games, on the basis that they were being discriminated against. This is why in GTA Vice City Stories the gang is referred to as Los Cabrones as opposed to simply "The Cubans," as they were in GTA Vice City. Los Cabrones literally means "The Bastards" in Spanish.
Oddly enough, in the third edition of Vice City, unlike the Haitians, the name Cubans wasn't censored within the game dialogues and subtitles.

I think it's natural for our thoughts to change as we grow in experience with the 12 Steps and Recovery, just as our thoughts will change about anything else in life – the more we learn about it and the more that we do it.
My thoughts over the years have changed drastically, many times, on about every topic that I've had to think about during my lifetime. And, especially, in regards to AA and the 12 Steps.
It's probably part of the formula of "what we were like, what happened, and what we are like now.â€

Woman arrested after allegedly stabbing boyfriend
Sunday - 11/25/2012, 4:54pm EST
GLEN BURNIE, Md. (AP) - Police in Anne Arundel County say a woman was arrested after she allegedly stabbed her boyfriend while he was removing his personal belongings from her apartment.
Anne Arundel County Police say they were called to an apartment building in the 7700 block of Oakwood Road around 9:30 a.m. Sunday. Once there, officers found a 42-year-old Baltimore man on the stairs inside the building suffering from a stab wound to the back and a cut on the head. The man was transported to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Police arrested 31-year-old Autumn Mary Marler and charged her with second degree attempted murder and related charges.

After having to fire and replace Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men back in 2011, CBS CEO Les Moonves says the current controversy surrounding co-star Angus T. Jones is "a piece of cake" by comparison.
"We took this boy who started with us when he was eight years old, and it seems to be what happens with child stars over the course of time," Moonves said at an industry event held earlier this week and hosted by The Wall Street Journal, according to Yahoo. "He's now making over $300,000 per week, which is not a bad salary for a 19-year-old kid, and he went on a religious channel and urged people not to watch the show because it was filth. By the way, he's still collecting his $300,000 per week."
Angus T. Jones calls Two and a Half Men "filth," urges viewers to stop watching
Last month, a video surfaced online as part of a taped testimonial for the religious organization Forerunner Chronicles. In the video, Jones called Two and a Half Men "filth" and urged viewers not to watch so he would no longer have to work on the show. Jones later issued an apology, not for his statements about the show specifically, but if his comments offended any members of the show's cast and crew.
When asked whether the show was looking for a new "half man" to replace the actor, Moonves was cryptic. Jones' one-year contract ends this season. "We have other plans," Moonves said. "I don't know what our status is with him."
Thankfully, Jones already has other options lined up in case he does lose his gig on Two and a Half Men. In an interview last month, former co-star Sheen offered Jones a role on his new FX sitcom, Anger Management.

Andrew Pike,
What was the highlight or most memorable moment of your tour?
Difficult - there were so many. Probably the walk in the Valbona Valley on a glorious day with the stunning mountain scenery and woods and having mountain tea and raki with a local family in their remote farmhouse. Our walk through the attractive town of Prizren, with its fortress and narrow, winding streets alongside the river, was another highlight and watching the world go by as we sat having lunch in one of the pavement cafes. The wine tasting in and around Rahovec was also an enjoyable experience. Sitting on the shore of Lake Ohrid looking across the water to the mountains beyond was another highlight.

Mike Peterson,
What was the highlight or most memorable moment of your tour?
The trip was very varied, offering everything from churches and mosques to excellent walks. It is impossible to pick out one thing that was any better than another. It was all very good.

Gavin Orton
Tour Name
Undiscovered Balkans
Tour Code
What Was The Highlight Or Most Memorable Moment Of Your Tour
In Albania, the walk in the beautiful Valbona Valley. In Kosovo, the pretty Ottoman town of Prizren and the frescoes in the Serbian churches. In Macedonia, charming Ohrid. Skopje is the ultimate in kitsch, with massive statues devoted to a bizarre cult of the (Greek) Alexander the Great.
Tour Leader Name
How Was Your Explore Tour Leader
Both the tour leader and driver were from Albania, and kept things running smoothly.
What Tips Would You Give To Someone Else Booking This Tour
Read up in advance about the period after the collapse of the dictatorships, when everyone was fighting everyone else. The results are all too evident.
Do You Have Anything Else To Add
The hotels were generally good, but the hotel in the Valbona Valley was very basic, not very clean, and suffered frequent powercuts. A torch is essential on this tour. It would have been better to spend a second night in Prizren rather than being driven out into the middle of nowhere. Extra time in Ohrid would also have been welcome.
Tour Code
What Was The Highlight Or Most Memorable Moment Of Your Tour
Lake Ohrid in Macedonia was heartstoppingly beautiful !The wine tasting sessions were fun. I loved Prizen and Skopje must win out in terms of having so many vast and spectacular monuments in the City Centre.
How Was Your Explore Tour Leader
He was fantastic!!Best guide by far on any of the trips I have undertaken with. I am going to nominate him for Leader of the year award!
What Tips Would You Give To Someone Else Booking This Tour
Some of the hikes were arduous so a small group of us spent this time relaxing instead. It is unrelentingly hectic, but you see so much of this area of the Balkans it is well worth it! It is a wonderful road trip and if, like me, you find the history and politics of these countries intriguing then book it before they become the next hot new destinations!
Do You Have Anything Else To Add
Just do it!!
What Was The Highlight Or Most Memorable Moment Of Your Tour
The Accursed Mountains of Albania and Kosovo are more spectacular and unspoiled than I had envisioned. Vertical snowcapped peaks and aquamarine colored streams were a real treat, even in the wet weather we experienced. I also enjoyed wine tasting in the Rahovec area of Kosovo.
Tour Leader Name
How Was Your Explore Tour Leader
Our tour leader Endrit is Albanian and brought a local perspective to historic sites we visited as well as an understanding of the Balkans culture. He was persistent in making sure I was reunited with my checked bag which was misplaced somewhere on my flight from the U.S. He also did an good job of keeping us on schedule, even though this was the first time this tour was offered.
What Tips Would You Give To Someone Else Booking This Tour
Although the 3 walks on this tour are straight forward, they do require some effort and are more enjoyable with some level of fitness. Also, don't expect to use Euros in Macedonia or be able to photograph inside the monasteries on this tour; photography inside mosques is okay.
Do You Have Anything Else To Add
An extra night in Prizren or Ohrid would add to the enjoyment of this tour. Pristina's sights can be seen in a half day or less, allowing a night's stop elsewhere.

What Was The Highlight Or Most Memorable Moment Of Your Tour
wine tasting in Kosovo,paddling in Lake Ohrid admiring Skanderberg in Kruja!Pottering in Prizen
How Was Your Explore Tour Leader
Endrit was ace and didn't stand for no...!contextualising the politics and history of the region from his Albanian perspective was informative and very moving!!The driver Jamal was also a lovely guy and they were both so helpful with a great sense of fun! Best by far Explore Guide for me, and he deserves the Award!
What Tips Would You Give To Someone Else Booking This Tour
Tho I love walking,some of the treks were rather arduous especially if you are a city girl like me!!However you could just relax and have a coffee/chill instead if you didn't wanna hike - wait for the hikers in the bar!
Do You Have Anything Else To Add
Mostly the hotels were good. A couple of the mountain hotels er... not so good - if there are 5* hotels in the mountain regions with spa/pool I would be more than happy to pay extra! This trip is unrelentingly hectic - as it should be - but incorporating 2 nights near Lake Ohrid to relax would be heaven! Super trip - book it before the mongol hoards arrive!!Great group - thanks Guys!!


text: Kids, be careful of what you post on social media... A Port Huron High School student, apparently venting his frustrations about school on Facebook this week, saw the matter investigated by Port Huron Police and school officials. Sgt. Dave Seghi says a posting on the student's Facebook page, Tuesday night, was read by a citizen who called police with concerns about what it said. Seghi says investigations were conducted by police and school officials, with the parents and student contacted and interviewed. He says the student didn't mean any harm and the post did not specify a threat against the school, students or teachers. Seghi says the incident should serve as a lesson on the fine line between venting frustrations publicly and being perceived as a potential threat.

Daily OCD: 6/29/09 | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under Zak Sally, Trina Robbins, Roy Crane, reviews, Prince Valiant, Nell Brinkley, Mort Walker, Michael Kupperman, Love and Rockets, Jaime Hernandez, Hal Foster, Drew Friedman, Carol Tyler, Basil Wolverton, Arnold Roth, Abstract Comics | 29 Jun 2009 2:39 PM |
Let's see what Online Commentary & Diversions popped up over the weekend:
• Review: "Abstract Comics: The Anthology is an impressive collection of old and new work with unique pages covering exactly what the title says... bold... intriguing... This is a book for readers who like fine art or those who would like to expand their sequential art experiences. A hearty slap on the back for Fantagraphics for choosing to create this marvelous example of a widely unknown artistic expression." - Kris Bather, Comic Book Jesus
• Review: "I had always equated [Prince] Valiant with everything that is dull and lifeless and boring and supposedly good for you, but it turns out I was completely and utterly wrong. On the contrary, it's a rip-snorting good time, full of high adventure and thrilling escapades. And Valiant, far from being the schoolmarmish goody two-shoes I imagined him being, is full of piss and vinegar and quite a bloodthirsty young chap, which makes him a good deal more interesting than some of his contemporaries on the comics page." - Chris Mautner, Robot 6
• Review: "Tales Designed to Thrizzle #5, like all the previous issues by Michael Kupperman, did not fail at thrilling or dazzling me." - Brian Cronin, Robot 6 (same link as above)
• Review: "...C. Tyler's You'll Never Know Book One: A Good and Decent Man isn't... much like any other autobio comic I've encountered... It's a really rather fascinating work, and the longer one thinks about it, the more important and universal it seems to be. On the surface level, of course, it's an extremely interesting, rather unique story of a couple different life's stories, and how they overlap, but there plenty of other levels waiting to be discovered and ruminated over.

• Review: "Don't think of [The Wolverton Bible] as an exception or a bizarre footnote in religious art but one and maybe the 20th century continuation... By the end of the book, pages after pages of doom and destruction, you realize that Wolverton is maybe the only person to illustrate the The Old Testament and the Book of Revelation -- the most 'savage' books of the bible." - Are You a Serious Comic Book Reader?

Phyto Customer Reviews
it works! - 2/26/2015 3:26:52 PM It is a bit pricey and a bit difficult to use at first (to break the tips of the glass ends). However, it does hydrate the hair very well and maintains chemically treated hair as it says! You only use it once a week or so, so the 30+ minutes waiting before showering is doable. Result is healthier hair!it works! - 2/26/2015 3:22:24 PM It is a bit expensive and a bit difficult to use at first (to break the tip of the glass). However, it works as it says, hair feels thicker when following the directions for use! It feels nice to rub into the scalp as well.Finally - A Product That Does What It Says - 1/4/2015 4:59:50 AM Like a lot of women, when I hit 50, I felt my hair was getting thinner. I have tried several different supplements in the hopes that one of them would be "it". I finally tried the Phyto supplements and they truly worked ! It took a few weeks but my hair is noticeably thicker and shinier. I had actually stopped using them for a period of about a month and saw a dramatic difference - thinner looking hair again. So, I started up again and I am very pleased. Try it - you have nothing to lose and thicker hair to gain !Meeeh - 1/3/2015 7:19:07 AM I find maybe 30% improvement if I use it every day. One vial is way too much for one application anyway, I end up having to re-towel dry my hair. I'm wasting the product into my towel. I use a little every day just on top where my thinning is the worst. Dispensing the product is ridiculous. The spout doesn't stay on the vial. It keeps slipping off when I have it turned upside down so I have to hold onto the plastic spout in addition to the vial. Once I even got a piece of glass stuck up into the spout. Besides, I'm sure that packaging it a good 30% of the cost of this product. I just poured all the vials into a cleaned out tiny bottle of hand sanitizer.Love This Shampoo! - 11/20/2014 7:37:48 AM I use this shampoo as part of my rotation and always take it to the hairdressers when I have an appointment. Smells wonderful and leaves my hair beautiful! I have a sensitive scalp and this shampoo helps in maintaining the health of my scalp.really works! - 11/15/2014 10:06:56 AM I consider Myself A Skeptic, But AfterAFull Month Using This Product Twice A Week As Directed, I MusT Say I Noticed Fewer Hairs In My Comb After Shower. I Will Continue To Purchase And Use As Maintenance To Prevent My Hair From Thinning As I Age.Surprisingly helpful - 8/4/2014 4:02:41 AM Several years ago my hair began to fall out after having gone through some surgeries and pain meds. Saw this product and gave it a try. I liked it immediately and felt like my hair was healthier and even a little thicker. Just bought it again recently because my hair texture was so dry and thin. Phyto is helping it regain it's healthy look. It's not a miracle but I think it's a very good product and will continue to use it.Wonderful product! - 8/1/2014 8:35:43 AM Just remember, it's not meant to be a daily shampoo: The directions state: "Can be used for the first four shampoos after color process, then twice a week for maintenance. For optimum results, use with Phytocitrus mask." I use Phytodensium shampoo as my regular daily shampoo. My hair has never looked better or been healthier.- 6/13/2014 10:01:33 AM After the first month of 2-3 times a week application, I noticed some hair growth. This got me excited and I considered continuous use of the product. However, being on my 3rd month now, I noticed the growth had stopped and I'm still seeing areas of my scalp that have not produced new hair growth. In conjunction with Phyto Phytolium 4, I'm also using the Phyto shampoo, which I love! I have a few more vials to use so I will continue and hope for more hair growth.Leaves hair brittle - 5/17/2014 6:16:04 PM The product does not provide moisture. Every time I use a pea size, my hair becomes drier than it was before. It does not provide moisture but instead leaves a residue. Very disappointed in this product as I am a huge fan of the phyto product line -

As a pioneering visionary, Patrick Alès, founder of Phyto, was able to use the secrets of nature for the beauty of the hair. He believes for your hair to be beautiful and healthy, it needs science, but science inspired by nature. For over 40 years, Phyto has been working with the scientific world to fine-tune innovative products with scientifically proven results through clinical testing and patent submissions. Phyto formulas are now created from over 500 active ingredients and contain more than 95% natural botanicals.
Over the past decade or so, environmentally friendly products have grown in popularity. While some of these products merely use the designation as a selling point, Phyto has been demonstrating a superior commitment to safe, natural, and effective ingredients for over 40 years. The formulas were originally designed to pamper hair with natural botanicals, and Phyto's commitment to this mission still stands today. However, the formulas are constantly changing as scientific research reveals more effective ways of caring for one's hair. Despite upgrading ingredients, Phyto products are still primarily based on botanical products that are great for your hair.
Just like your skin, your hair encounters numerous environmental attacks throughout the course of each day. Weather conditions, heat styling, air pollution, leisure activities, styling products, and various other lifestyle factors can all contribute to the health and appearance of your hair. Further, your hair's health can be impacted by genetics, making it difficult to address any issues that may arise over time. Phyto products use natural ingredients to restore your hair's luster, fullness, and shine. If you suffer from frizzy hair or split ends, Phyto can help tame your mane into the smooth and manageable look that you desire. You can even use Phyto products on color-treated hair by selecting one of the specially designed products to suit your needs. Many individuals with thinning hair experience embarrassment on a regular basis, but adding Phyto thickening products to your hair care routine can help promote healthy volume.

"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art. It has no survival value, rather it is one of those things that give value to survival." -- C.S. Lewis
There are many endearing titles in the English language. I like the word "friend." The American Heritage Dictionary defines it as "a person whom one knows, likes and trusts."
Like most folks, I've made a lot of friends over my lifetime. Among my earliest friends were the kids I grew up with in West Oakland. We played kick-the-can and capture the flag, shot marbles in an empty lot across from the Christian Friendship Center, sat for hours watching double feature films at the Star Theater and fished for smelt in the murky estuary water a stone's throw from Chinatown.
As friends we were inseparable. But don't bother asking me their names. I wouldn't recognize them now even if I saw them as they were then!
Moving to a new community and school when I enrolled as an eighth-grader meant making new friends. As a minority in an all-white school, adjusting to new surroundings and classmates proved to be a challenge.
I must've been a novelty, especially to those students who had never seen an Asian before.
What seemed to break the ice between us was my competitive ability in sports, especially for someone smaller than most of the other students. Putting fourth that extra effort helped me intermingle more readily with my peers and facilitated my preparation for the adult world.
Except for our 50th high school reunion that my wife and I attended, I have been in contact with only one former student after graduating in 1950. My fellow classmate and friend, Don Auslen, was among the first students to welcome me and has kept in regular touch over the years.
If there was a time in my life that bonding helped, it was during my two years in military service. Immediately after graduating from college, I was drafted along with other graduates and received our training at Fort Ord before being assigned to permanent stations in the Far East.
As luck would have it, eight of the recruits I trained with served alongside me the entire time. Although we all went our separate ways after discharge, I still hear from one of them who lives in New York. He usually ends his well wishes with a promise that we should "get together sometime in the new year."
And although it doesn't appear likely to happen, I look forward to receiving his annual warm sentiments and hope one day to hear from our other Army buddies while we are still able to move about.
My career in corrections, spanning some 40 years, brought me in contact with countless folks around the state, many whom I befriended, while working in several locations around Northern California.
After being on the job so many years, it would seem that I was ready for retirement. Not so. Like the deep sea diver who had been underwater too long and required a stint in the decompression tank to recover, I dropped by the office periodically to keep in touch until one day a young lady I didn't recognize sitting at the reception desk asked for my identification and who I was there to see.
I realized then it was time to move on!
I occasionally hear from some of the old-timers and a few of them send greeting cards during the holidays. But even those are getting fewer and fewer with the passage of time.
I don't possess a lot of material wealth. On the other hand, I have assets that the richest people covet. The next milestone anniversary my wife and best friend, Mary, and I are celebrating will be golden. I still have my health and no major ailments.
I'm surrounded by a loving family, including my namesake and soon-to-be 8-year-old grandson, who is the jewel of our family. I leave behind an uninterrupted professional career that spanned four decades. And I can name a host of wonderful friends and spiritual advisers who've seen me through my best and worst times.
This is what Albert Einstein had to say about lasting friendships: "In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit."
Food for thought as we enjoy the holiday season!

Phoronix: openSUSE Has A Problem, Is Seeking New Direction
Stephan Kulow, the release manager for openSUSE, has publicly acknowledged this morning that this community distribution to SUSE has found itself in a problem and they're now looking to the community to seek out a fundamentally new direction for this Linux distribution...
First he mentions limited manpower.
Then he mentions they've grown and their current way of working don't scale anymore.
Good for them. I'm glad someone is seeing the rolling-release light. Canonical, take note.
I think moving to rolling-release model is the best solution to all problems.
Waiting 6+ months for a new release to get software updated sucks.
This is the days of lightspeed Internet where you need to keep on innovating and developing or you become irrelevant.
6 months in the computer industry is a very long time. Too long time.
I want my software updates now.
I want GIMP 2.8 now, not in 6 months when Ubuntu 12.10 is out.
Rolling releases will be great to end users, but a complete pain in the ass for the developers. When the ABI or API for a shared library like libPNG changes, EVERYTHING that directly depends on it has to get updated as well. If the developers don't catch a broken package due to changes in the shared library, they're going to have tons of angry users breathing down their neck. It's much easier for developers to push back shared library changes to the next release so they have more time for testing.
Distributions like Gentoo or Arch don't have to worry about this because it's a community, not a company that has to (absolutely) worry about keeping everything stable. Further more, Gentoo has tools like revdep-rebuild and python-updater that can detect broken packages and Python libraries and will do its best to automagically fix them for you, taking the work off the developers. I don't know if other communities or companies use tools like this, it'd be nice to know how they handle broken packages.
Rolling-release, rolling-release, rolling-release ! It saves tons of kittens !
Really - I'm too fed up with installing OS's. I run some Gentoo boxes for years now and I never had to wipe anything or do scary release updates - and always get fresh and useless new features. Of course there are sometimes minor incompatibilities with updates, but those small ones are usually easier to solve than having more or major ones on larger upgrades.
6 month release-cycles basically suck, and it's one of the (many) reasons, i use a rolling-release.
Out of curiosity, though - if you want gimp-2.8, isn't there a PPA in Ubuntu for that? and even if there wasn't, you do know you could build Gimp yourself, right?
I build Gimp from the GIT branch, every few weeks. So most of the features in 2.8 (including 'single-window-mode') i've been using for quite some time now. I suspect though, someone probably is packaging 2.8 in a PPA (along with a newer version of BABL and GEGL, as gimp would require them).
But OpenSUSE already has a rolling release version - it's called Tumbleweed and works more or less ok, there's only a small catch... Rolling means new kernel and xorg versions all the time. Which means you won't necessarily be compatible properietary driver versions, especially GPU drivers, as amd and nvidia don't want to keep up with the kernel. So, yeah... ;-)
Either way I'm really confident in the dev team, seeing as they manage all this time to keep the whole OpenSUSE distro up to date and stable at the same time.

Harrell, Morrow look to redeem rocky debuts
Astros right-hander hopes to contain hot-hitting Melky, Bautista
Lucas Harrell and Brandon Morrow will be aiming to notch their first win of the season in Wednesday night's Blue Jays-Astros matchup after they both had rocky 2014 debuts.
Harrell, the Astros' No. 4 starter, is coming off a tough 11-1 loss to the Los Angeles Angels in his first outing of the season last Friday, while Morrow will try to rebound from a 7-2 loss to the Rays last Thursday. They'll duel at 7:07 p.m. ET at the Rogers Centre.
Harrell, for one, isn't dwelling on the the past. Following his loss to the Angels, when he pitched just three innings and allowed five runs on seven hits, the 28-year-old sinker-baller was already looking ahead to Wednesday's game.
"It's over with and on to the next start," Harrell said. "I'll get better for my next start."
Wednesday will mark Harrell's first career start and third career appearance against the Blue Jays. He faced Toronto once last season, allowing three runs in three innings of relief in a 4-0 Astros loss.
Morrow, meanwhile, is coming off a loss to the Rays in which he allowed four earned runs over five innings. The 29-year-old is looking for his first win since May 23 of last season. A series of forearm injuries limited him to 54 1/3 innings in 2013.
He struggled with his pitch count early in his last outing, but found ways to grind out at-bats. He was at the 76-pitch mark by the end of the fourth inning, leading to a relatively short night. Blue Jays manager John Gibbons saw some positive takeaways from Morrow's last start.
"What I liked is that I thought he finished strong," Gibbons said. "We still have to monitor him, because he's coming off those injuries last year."
Blue Jays: Melky homers in fourth straight game
Melky Cabrera's two-run home run in the seventh inning of the Blue Jays' 5-2 win over the Astros on Tuesday night marked the fourth consecutive game the left fielder has gone deep. He is now in the company of a large group of Blue Jays who've gone yard in four straight contests, which includes Edwin Encarnacion and Colby Rasmus. Jose Cruz Jr. holds the record with six consecutive games with a home run, which he accomplished in 2001.
In the bottom of the seventh inning, Cabrera took an 0-2 slider from Astros reliever Kevin Chapman and drove it over the left field wall to give the Blue Jays a 5-2 lead. Cabrera -- whose 2013 season was hampered by a benign tumour on his spine -- is leading Toronto offensively, batting .314 with five RBIs through the team's first eight games. Gibbons isn't isn't surprised by Cabrera's surging offense.
"I thought when we signed him last year, he had some chances to hit homers here," Gibbons said. "He's not known as a home run hitter, but this is a perfect place for him. He's off to a good start, and he and Jose [Bautista] keep going back and forth [with home runs]. It's a little competition."
Astros: Fowler makes pinch-hitting appearance
Outfielder Dexter Fowler pinch-hit for center fielder Alex Presley in the eighth inning of Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays. Fowler's return was unexpected. He missed the previous four games due to a stomach virus.
"Today's the first day I feel like I have some strength to do anything," Fowler said prior to the team's game on Tuesday night.
Fowler, who was acquired in an offseason deal with the Rockies, is hitting .462 with a homer, triple and two doubles over five games. He was originally hopeful to return to the lineup for Wednesday's game, and participated in batting practice Tuesday for the first time since getting sick.
Worth noting
• Astros second baseman Jose Altuve went 3-for-4 against Toronto left-handed pitchers Mark Buehrle and Aaron Loup in a losing effort Tuesday night. He's now batting .500 (6-for-12) against left-handed pitching this season.
• Four of Jose Bautista's six hits this year have been home runs. The Blue Jays right fielder hit his fourth home run of the season in the first inning on Tuesday night.
• Fifteen of Toronto's 27 runs scored so far this season have come via home runs. With their 5-2 victory over Houston Tuesday night, the team registered more than four runs for the first time this season, ending the record-setting streak of seven games with four runs or less to begin a season.

A very honest man who is freakishly horny. He gets hard an average of 45 times per day. Many woman like him and dream of having sex with him. He is a player but everyone loves him because he is sweet like candy. He has an overactive imagination and can make up very sexual stories that can turn anyone on and get them wet like a lake.
It felt like Julian was taking over my body.
I was having a wet dream thanks to Julian.
Have you ever experienced a Julian inside you?
Damn you are harder than a Julian!

A really nice guy who's not sure what he wants out of life. He's very cute and sweet with his skater style (: He gets caught up in alot and flirts with alot of girls. People tend to talk about him, and judge him from his past. But deep down he's not what they say, no one knows him as good as i do.

A sweet, intelligent guy with really good looks. He's athletic and an overall good person. A lot of people like him because he's just a good guy. He sometimes has a short fuse but he's a very nice person. He's searching for the right girl and is looking for true love. Ladies, give him a chance.
That Julian is the sweetest guy I've ever met. I think he'd be a great boyfriend.

Extremely hot!! you can never meet an ugly julian. He can always turn you on. He's a player, but people like him anyways because he's so hot. You can never go wrong when having sex with a julian. It will ALWAYS be nice. He's hotter than your average kid, and its all because he's julian. He can sweet talk, but it's only to get what he wants, which most girls will give him, because he's so fcking hot! Short, tan, and hot. The three words to describe julian. if you get the chance with Julian, go for it!
your hot, you must be a julian.
im going to go in bed with julian right now.

He is the sexiest man on Earth. The darker skinned Julian is usually the dangerous one with all the girls. But in general all Julians are unbelievably hot and sexy. Many women love him and want to get wet all over him. He is a player in essence and has or will have truck loads of money to live a high-end capytalist life.
"OMG is that Julian in that ARMANI suit?"

Mamma Mia! the musical is based on the music of Swedish pop band ABBA. The fictional storyline was developed by an English playwright, Catherine Johnson, with the input of previous ABBA members Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson. The musical tale tells the story of a young Greek woman on a personal journey to find her father so that he can walk her down the aisle on her wedding day. The original London production opened in 1999, and was later transferred to another theater where it continued to wow audiences. Once the production won a Laurence Olivier Award, Mamma Mia! tickets were impossible to keep in the box office. The initial Broadway theater production debuted in 2001 and continued to run for more than a decade. Ever since the show's Broadway coming out, it has continued to traverse the globe with performances in everywhere from Russia and Dubai to China and South Africa. By the time that 2011 rolled around, Mamma Mia! exceeded Miss Saigon and Damn Yankees in regards to running time with over 4,000 performances. The theater adaptation of classic Europop favorites has proven its staying power. The theatergoer reviews call the musical production "absolutely terrific!" Treat yourself to a night of song and dance by purchasing Mamma Mia! theater tickets now!

Nashua police investigating untimely death
"It was an untimely death," Sgt. Joseph Molinari said on Friday morning.
A hazardous materials disposal crew and bomb squad responded to the residence around 5:30 p.m. on Thursday over concerns about possible chemicals on the property. Residents were evacuated from the area as a precaution, according to police, who said nothing suspicious or criminal in nature was located.
According to Molinari, the man's death does not appear to be suspicious at this time.
"But it is still an ongoing investigation," said Molinari.

Skol. I think there's a lot of good games today.
I like my Bears chances today. It will probably be the only game that all of their WR's are healthy, providing false hope that Cutler has finally turned a corner. Looking forward to the Packer v. 49ers game this afternoon. It pains me to say it, but I think the Packers pull the upset on the road today. Seems like teams that lose the sb usually fall off the next season.
The Vikings pass rush needs to be there today. Calvin Johnson gives me nightmares. Go AP!!!!!!!!
Would anyone by chance be able to PM a link for watching the Steelers game. Not showing in the Houston area as usual

X5 Superlite Travel Nano Tourmaline Ceramic Ionic Iron (1") - Dual Voltage
TatyanaHairBlondeColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairA Must On International TravelOrdered it for my trip to Paris - and said a 1000 thanks! Don't worry, it WILL work on 220 voltage. You will need an adapter, which could be purchased at a RadioShack or at a major airport shops. There is no automated temperature regulator, thus, it will get very hot - with this purpose the glove is provided in the package. Don't discard it! I was pleased with the quality of this petite product.posted May 16, 2013Link to this post
ElizabethTNHairBlondeColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairWorks Well, Gets The Job Done!I purchased this item a little over one year ago as I travel all over the world for business. It heats up very quickly and straightens well. It is smaller than the palm of my hand and fits easily into any bag.
The straightener is dual voltage and therefore compatible anywhere in the world. You will need an adapter plug if you plan to travel outside of the US though.
It is very compact which means it takes a bit longer to straighten all over. Also, there is no tip on the end so be sure not to grab the iron or you will get burned.
Overall, I would give this product 4 stars. It gets the job done and was well worth the price.posted Feb 12, 2012Link to this post -
JillChicagoTiny And Did Not Work On My Hair!I have wavy, frizzy thick hair.... I normally use a Chi or Hai and needed a dual voltage iron for an upcoming trip. I bought this based on the good reviews and thought it was awful! I usually don't bother writing reviews for anything unless something is really great or really bad. The product did NOT get very hot.... after running it through my hair, my hair felt warm at best. It was also very difficult to squeeze the iron tight, thus you didn't feel like you were really ironing the hair. The end result was what I would expect from a $10 iron, not $60. And I knew going into it that it was mini, but figured a $60 mini iron would be equivalent to a $100+ regular iron.... there HAS to be a better dual voltage iron out there and I am determined to find it!posted Jan 17, 2011Link to this post
DeeWashingtonHairGreyCurly HairColor Treated HairLightweight & CompactPurchased this for a trip to Europe so have only tried it once to make sure it worked but it is lightweight and compact. I didn't realize there was only one setting. Not sure I would use the glove that was included, I thought the description meant a cover for the flat iron not my hand.posted Sep 5, 2010Link to this post
Susan K.Nyack, NYGreat With A Big Caveat!This rating comes with a caveat. I loved the iron. It's tiny and light and heats up fast. It worked in Europe with just a small adapter plug. I started using it everyday because it worked so well for my short, curly hair. However, two days ago, in the course of using it, the wire short-circuited and severed itself from the iron, perhaps from the heat. It flew out of my grasp and I burned the palm of my hand. I feel fortunate that I didn't suffer worse damage as it could have easily landed in my face. So, the question is: was this particular iron damaged OR is there a problem with the product? I don't know the answer. Just be careful!posted Aug 30, 2010Link to this post
SylviaLos AngelesHairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairDid The Job, Happy I Spent The MoneyI bought the X5 for a recent trip to Europe. It worked perfectly, heated up nicely, and was adequate for my needs. It was easy to plug into all the adapters I brought, better than some other appliances I travel with that have complicated brick-like plugs.
It's not a full iron, though. It works for me because I mostly need just a polish on the top layer of my hair. Even though it has no heat control, it was perfectly fine and I didn't really miss it. I never change the heat setting on my home hair iron anyway.
Previously when I've traveled I've bought cheap hair irons at the local convenience store, but they never did the job right. So I sprung for this one and it was worth the money.
It's small, though, I wouldn't recommend it for very long hair or if you have to really straighten every section. It's so small it also gets very hot where you need to hold it so you have to be careful not to burn yourself. The "heat glove" they package with the iron is a joke, don't count on that. Just be careful where you put your hand.posted Aug 30, 2010Link to this post -
JheanelleHairDark BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairRelaxed HairGreat Results!This flat iron worked very well in Spain. I had no problems with it. It got hot enough to work with my curly hair. Please keep in mind that it is very small so that it works well with short hair and/or bangs.posted Jul 8, 2010Link to this post
StephanieThis Travel Iron Worked Great!I was very happy with this travel ceramic iron. It is small and does get hot fast. Traveling in Italy it worked great, just use an adapter, plug in and good to go. No coverter needed and not so powerful that it would make the power go off in a small hotel, like my hair dryer did! Very light weight, which is a must for travel. Very happy!posted Apr 12, 2010Link to this post
JenniferSan Francisco, CASmall And Light But Very Powerful - Perfect For Everday Use And TravelI wanted to get a dual voltage straightener to replace the wet to dry Chi that I had owned before that you cannot use abroad (even with voltage converters). When I opened the box of this X5 superlite I was surprised at how small it is. It has a 1 inches wide iron but the length of the element of the iron is only 2.5 inches. I used it and was astonished about how well it worked despite its small size. My hair is relatively straight to begin with and I use straighteners to smooth it and make it stick straight. It heated up quickly and worked just as well as my Chi going through each section once (I even did half of my hair with each to compare). I have to split my hair up into a couple more sections due to the shorter length of the element (I have lots of hair that goes to my mid back). It only has an on and off switch - I never used to change the temp on my Chi - but this may be a deal breaker for others. I had originally thought of keeping both this and the Chi, but decided I'd give away my Chi since this smaller one works just as well and I don't need to switch irons while traveling. Another plus for traveling is that it does not have a big power adapter - it just has a regular plug.posted Nov 27, 2009Link to this post

Hi, I love looking at people's foobar configs, so I wanted a place where everybody could post them, large images and all, just for looking. No boring text to skip through, no discussion of how people did anything (save that for another thread ). Just pictures!
I'll start it off, I'm not particularly proud of mine the way a lot of you are. It's not pretty by any means, but I don't really care about that. I'm still teaching myself and am mostly just excited to have finally acquired albumart for all my folders (something I never used to care much about but now find totally necessary). But if anyone does have any comments or especially suggestions, please PM me! edit: updated screenshot ideas i'm playing with: -check mark appears on left when track has been submitted to audioscrobbler -playing track color fades from bright blue to white as track approaches end -playcounts are brighter for more recently played tracks, and fade up to white from previous shade as track approaches 50% -different columns layout for *mix*, "Tag Editor" -poor bitrate indicator: gradient from yellow (159kbps) to red (56kbps) things i want to do: -custom track info panel / status bar -missing tag(s) indicator(s) -better windows color scheme This post has been edited by topdownjimmy: Feb 4 2005, 04:04 |
