OpenCL with a decent CPU in a smartphone.... I've been waiting for this for a while.
Now show me a device running Android/Linux with decent battery life, and a screen in the 4.0-4.5" range.
For any smartphone manufacturers that care, I'm looking for the following:
4.0-4.5" display
Dual/Quad Cortex A15
GPU w/ OpenCL and GLES 2/3
USB Host capability
micro/mini HDMI out
micro-SD card expandability, plus 8+GB onboard storage
Decent Battery life... I usually charge overnight, but it shouldn't be a necessity if I'm not using it constantly.
non-AMOLED screen (blue dies early)
Android 4.2+
NFC + Inductive charging are a bonus
The LG Optimus G almost hit all my criteria, but it's a bit large for my taste and I don't believe that it supports CL.

Powązki Cemetery (Polish Cmentarz Powązkowski)/Military Cemetery is the oldest and most famous cemetery in Warsaw, Poland, and is situated in the western part of the city. It contains a mausoleum with memorials to many of the greats in Polish history, including many interred since 1925 along the "Avenue of the Meritorious" (Aleja Zasłużonych, est. 1925). It has also a very large military section for the graves of those who fought and died for their country since the early 19th century, including the large number of those involved in the ill-fated Warsaw Uprising against the Nazis during World War II, the Battle of Warsaw, and the September Campaign.
The Warsaw Uprising (Polish: Powstanie Warszawskie) was a struggle by the Polish Home Army (Polish: Armia Krajowa) to liberate Warsaw from Nazi German occupation during World War II. The Uprising began on 1 August 1944, as part of a nationwide rebellion, Operation Tempest. It was intended to last for only a few days until the anti-Nazi Soviet Army reached the city. The Soviet advance stopped short, however, while Polish resistance against the German forces continued for 63 days until the Polish surrender on 2 October. The Uprising began as the Soviet Army approached Warsaw. The Poles' chief objectives were to drive the German occupiers from the city and help with the larger fight against Germany and the Axis powers. Secondary political objectives were to liberate Warsaw before the arrival of the Soviet Army, to underscore Polish sovereignty and to undo the division of Central Europe into spheres of influence by the Allied powers. The insurgents' aimed to reinstate Polish authorities before the Soviet Polish Committee of National Liberation could assume control. Initially, the Poles seized substantial areas of the city, but the Soviets did not advance beyond the city's borders until mid-September. Inside the city, bitter fighting between the Germans and Poles continued. By 16 September, Soviet forces had reached a point a few hundred meters from the Polish positions, across the Vistula River, but they made no further headway during the Uprising, leading to allegations that the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin had wanted the insurrection to fail so that the Soviet occupation of Poland would be uncontested. Although the exact number of casualties remains unknown, it is estimated that about 16,000 Polish insurgents were killed and about 6,000 badly wounded. In addition, between 150,000 and 200,000 civilians died, mostly from mass murders conducted by troops fighting on the German side. German casualties totaled over 16,000 soldiers killed and 9,000 wounded. During the urban combat approximately 25% of Warsaw's buildings were destroyed. Following the surrender of Polish forces, German troops systematically leveled 35% of the city block by block. Together with earlier damage suffered in the invasion of Poland (1939) and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (1943), over 85% of the city was destroyed by January 1945, when the Soviets finally entered the city.
Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights. In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states. Text by Steve Smith.

Nice to hear from the two of you! Thanks for checking in and sharing! I appreciate you!
Sometimes, I really have to look hard to find a problem that I have that I can share about -- No, I don't have any secret problems I just very seldom have any problems any more!
Life treats me pretty Good! Much better than I deserve! I don't have kids to take care of -- I wonder if that's why I have few problems?
Nope. I do know of others, like me, with no kids, and of course, me, too, when still with no kids -- that problems were coming by the train loads! And, once in a while, I'll still get a few of them. Just none to write about today.
Maybe, I've worked at it long enough, that I've got a few routines down -- and when I'm disciplined enough to stick to those routines -- Life, for the most part, seems to take care of everything. It's when I get off the "Routine for Living that Works" -- that's when my problems will shortly follow.
A routine that does a lot of good for me is taking care of two dogs. I'm the dog dad -- so I try to keep them happy and well taken care of. They love to go for rides in the Suburban. Sometimes, I don't feel like it -- but, I know how much pleasure they get from it -- so, I'll harness them up, and we'll head out to buy breakfast snacks in the morning, before they eat their regular breakfast. They enjoy it. They look forward to it. Then, in the evening -- I'll try to fit it in to take them on a short ride.
Sometimes, it seems as though, Life is being good to me, because I'm trying to take care of God's dogs -- the best I can. I don't know. But, there seems to be a direct correlation -- the happier they get and the more dedicated I am to serving them -- the better my life gets.
Or, maybe it's a combination of things -- like calling my sponsor on time, trying to be helpful to others, and doing the daily sobriety deal.... and taking care of the dogs.
Sometimes, and I'd swear by this, too -- I get the feeling that those dogs are taking care of me -- and, that's probably what the real deal is!
Just checking in. Nothing important to write about. I'm sober, reasonably sane today, healthy, happy -- and looking forward to ending this message so that I can go check in on the phone w/ my sponsor!
Best wishes to all!

When I use the BlackMagic Media Express application, I can see the video from the camera correctly appearing in the application. I can record video. That seems to all work.
I have Livestream Procaster 20.3.8 installed on my system (downloaded from this forum).
Procaster works fine and streams my video fine when I use either the built-in camera in my MacBook Pro or when I use a Logitech C910 webcam.
Procaster also recognizes my Intensity Extreme as a viable input source. However, when I choose it and go live, I get a black screen and then "Lost Signal".
If I go into Procaster and, *before* going live, click on "Input Sources" next to the camera choice, I don't see a video preview. I've tried changing the settings but I don't see a preview.
It seems to me that there must be some kind of settings mismatch going on here, but I am at a loss to know where to go next.
Any suggestions about how I might get this working?
Thanks in advance,
If you can, we would like for you to try a few things:
1- please install the latest beta of procaster by visiting
It has a fix for users experiencing the "Lost Signal" issue
2- Please ensure that no other video capture programs (i.e. FMLE, BlackMagic Media Express) are running.
Let us know if this helps you out in anyway

As my 18-year-old daughter prepares this week for her high school prom on Saturday night, I can't help but think of the wonderfully unique prom tradition at the school from which I graduated nearly 53 years ago.
It's a lottery.
For more than 80 years now, juniors and seniors at Aquin Central Catholic High School in Freeport, Ill., have used blind draws to determine with whom they'll be attending the annual prom.
The boys gather in one room and, one at a time, draw names from a container and then proceed to another room where they formally ask the awaiting ...

California Cops Arrest, Harass Man for Videotaping Them on the Job
Jason Mick
November 26, 2012 4:01 PM
comment(s) - last by
VideoTape All ..
Dec 2
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Message sent is that citizens should not be able to monitor the public actions of officials they employ
"If you don't give me your ID, then you're going to jail."
That's what a California cop, Officer Gabriel "Gabe" Lira, tells a man who is videotaping a routine traffic stop. For Daniel J. Saulmon who lives in Hawethorne, a suburb of Los Angeles west of Compton, he was simply doing his citizens duty. After all, his taxes help fund the Hawethorne Police Department, so why shouldn't he be allowed to
record video of police in public
on the job, in order to ensure that they do not abuse their citizen-entrusted power?
I. Show Some ID, Bud
Unfortunately, the Hawethorne Police Department's police officers didn't feel they owed the taxpayer anything.
Instead they arrest him (as the tape clearly shows) for failing to produce ID. The only problem? There is no law in California banning recording of on-duty cops and there is no law that requires Californians to produce papers to cops. And in states where there
such laws, the requirement is that the individual be suspected of committing a crime.
Initially the HPD tried to charge the citizen with
resisting, delaying and obstructing an officer
-- an offense punishable for up to $1,000 USD in fines and a year in jail. They also cited him for
not having reflectors
on his bike pedals (punishable with a fine of up to $250 USD).
Ultimately both charges were dropped. Mr. Saulmon's video, ironically, offered vindication by showing the officer improperly demanded his identification. It also showed he was standing a good distance away from the investigation site, and hence was not obstructing.
The extra irony is that the HPD officers should definitely have known better than to pick on Mr. Saulmon. Keenly aware of his rights, he regularly records local arrests. In 2005 he was arrested in a similar situation for eavesdropping/wiretapping. The charges were eventually dropped, and the HPD paid him a settlement of $25,000 USD for the wrongful arrest.
Mr. Saulmon is likely to pursue a similar settlement from the department this time around.
He tells the blog
Photography is not a crime
, "They knew exactly who I was. They always address me as 'Mr. Saulmon'."
II. Justice for Some, But Not All
While the incident ended in vindication for the accused, other similar encounters across the country
ended with little reprieve
for the arrested videotaper. That's because some jurisidictions have banned citizens from recording local cops. The fight to overturn these verdicts may have been given a helping hand by the U.S. Attorney General, who
penned a fiery response
arguing that such arrests were unconstitutional. U.S. Circuit Appeals courts
have ruled
such taping to be well within a citizen's rights.
Some police organizations are still fighting to push back the current federal mandate and instead making taping cops a federal crime.
Jim Pasco, executive director of the
Fraternal Order of Police
, argues that officers should not have to be held accountable and should be free to arrest citizens who try to monitor their activity for wrongdoing.

He comments, "They [police officers] need to move quickly, in split seconds, without giving a lot of thought to what the adverse consequences for them might be. We feel that anything that's going to have a chilling effect on an officer moving — an apprehension that he's being videotaped and may be made to look bad — could cost him or some citizen their life or some serious bodily harm."
Mark Donahue, president of the Fraternal Order of Police, agrees. He has stated in previous comments that his organization "absolutely supports" throwing those who tape police officers behind bars.
He complains that citizens monitoring police activities for wrongdoing might "affect how an officer does his job on the street."

RE: all part of a pattern
Generally speaking, he's right, in that people do not have a legal expectation of privacy in public. It is generally accepted that private citizens can reasonably monitor their own property, just like the government can reasonably monitor their own property and activity, such as cameras inside/outside government buildings. Now that doesn't mean the police have the right to install video cameras everywhere and electronically track citizens using facial recognition. US citizens have Constitutional protection against unreasonable search. Because of this is has been stuck down in many areas that government operated public cameras violate that Constitutional provision, but there are still many gray areas; it's not fully resolved legally in the US.
Stop light cameras/ticketing systems cross the line where a person is not able to confront their accuser since it is a device. There are many other arguments for this one, so it's off topic.
If people are buzzing around police and interfering with their duties, they are obstructing the officer which is already a crime in the US and the person can be punished for doing it. If someone is standing way back, not at all in the way, video recording an officer, they are not obstructing the officer.
This is the problem. The laws banning otherwise lawful behavior are only applied when cameras are directed at the police.

Washington inaction could endanger small banks' ability to lend
Blog Entry:
December 06, 2012 4:30 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
We're all painfully aware of the approaching fiscal cliff. It turns out the country's small banks
are facing a cliff of their own
The Wall Street Journal says, and the development "could pinch short-term lending rates."
On Jan. 1, a program that insures an unlimited amount of money in non-interest-bearing accounts will expire unless Washington moves to extend it,
The Journal
says. Without the Transaction Account Guarantee program, known as TAG, an insurance cap resets to $250,000, affecting about $1.6 trillion in deposits.
And without insurance protection, the newspaper reports, "depositors may be compelled to move amounts above $250,000 to other venues deemed safer, leaving the banks with less business."
J.P. Morgan estimates that in this scenario, about $580 billion of the deposits could be on the move. Big financial firms "would be on the receiving end of these flows, where cash would either be moved into the perceived safer hands of larger banks or earn a sliver of interest at a conservative money fund,"
The Journal
(It's important to note here that industry analysts tells
The Journal
there still is a possibility the program would be extended on a temporary basis. Assuming Congress is able to act. Make up your own mind as to whether that's a reasonable assumption.)
Jack Hartings, CEO of
Peoples Bank Co.
in Coldwater, Ohio, in Mercer County, tells the newspaper that the possible expiration of TAG is making it hard for him to prepare for the end of the year. Of his bank's $345 million in deposits, $13.5 million is held across 24 accounts covered by TAG.
Here's how
The Journal
describes Mr. Hartings' situation:
The difficulty of not knowing the future of the program, he says, is the need to build up liquidity in case money is withdrawn. This has prompted Mr. Hartings to hold on to some of the deposits his bank would have normally lent out.
"It takes a short time for people to move this money," he said. "I may not know until the last day of this year if it stays or gets moved. If I'm a large money fund, it probably sounds minimal. But it's a big deal to us."
This and that
It's all downhill from here:
Wildwood, Mo.-based Peak Resorts Inc.
has bought
Alpine Valley Ski Area
in Chesterland.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Alpine Valley opened in 1962 and has two chairlifts and four surface lifts. Peak Resorts already operates the Boston Mills and Brandywine resorts in Northeast Ohio.
"We feel the resort has been well maintained, and has a lot of potential," said Peak Resorts vice president Jesse Boyd in a statement. "We look forward to the close integration of the resort with Boston Mills and Brandywine."
Peak Resorts operates a total of 12 winter resorts in six states.
Waste not, want not:
OurPet's Co.
of Fairport Harbor
was issued a U.S. patent
for a new waste disposal system for dogs.
WasteManagementWorld.com reports that the device was invented by John R. Nottingham, John W. Nottingham and John W. Spirk of the
Nottingham Spirk
design/innovation firm, as well as local engineer Michael O'Toole and OurPet's CEO Steven Tsengas.
An abstract released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office describes the device this way:
"An automatic pet training pad having a training pad area, an absorbent pad bin and a waste collection bin. A roll of absorbent pad material extends from the absorbent pad bin, across the training pad area and into the waste collection bin. After a pet uses the training pad, a sensor activates a disposal cycle. The used absorbent pad material is withdrawn into the waste collection bin, rolled into a disposable waste pouch, and severed off from the clean absorbent pad material. The absorbent pad comprises an upper, fluid-absorbent layer and a lower, fluid-impervious layer bonded together in a continuous sheet. The absorbent pad material is further impregnated with an odor suppressing substance to control pet waste odor."
In case you wonder about the efficiency and complexity of the patent system, the application was filed on Feb. 18,
In case you missed it …
You might not read Editor's Choice or other
blogs — it's OK, I'll forgive you — so here's a quick version of a couple (long) posts from earlier in the week related to small businesses.
You probably know
Jonathon Sawyer
as one of Cleveland's high-profile celebrity chefs. But this week, at least, he's also playing the role of workplace advice columnist.
Mr. Sawyer, whose restaurants include The Greenhouse Tavern and Noodlecat, is among the contributors this week to a
Washington Post
web feature called "On Small Business," in which a panel of young entrepreneurs offers answers to questions faced by small business owners.
For instance,
this question
asks for tips on simple, inexpensive methods that can make a workplace more employee-friendly.
, he's asked for advice on enforcing employee hours. And in response to a query about how to help
retain top talent
Mr. Sawyer suggests that companies make significant investments in training, in addition to offering competitive pay and benefits.
There's a lot to chew on in
this TechCrunch.com interview
with Cavaliers owner/Quicken Loans founder Dan Gilbert about entrepreneurship and urban revival.
It's a long interview, focused primarily on Mr. Gilbert's business efforts in Detroit. But it has significant resonance for Cleveland, where one of Mr. Gilbert's ventures, startup accelerator
, is trying to replicate some of the success it has had in the Motor City. Quicken Loans also has become a major job generator in downtown Detroit.
Here's one of Mr. Gilbert's many interesting comments: "Through Detroit Venture Partners and Rockbridge (a private equity firm) we try to tap into the operational expertise of our business. … We really try to look at it as one company, one business, one family where people can tap in and either recruit other people maybe to come over and help in or even for short periods of time. For instance, we're even going to put what we call our mousetrap. People who just process excellence, we're going to put them in the Casino in Cleveland for a period of time to help them. There's going to be two or three people go over there for 90 days just to help them set-up their process excellence."

Low voltage lighting got its start in American residential settings in the 1950s. Originally developed to facilitate landscape lighting, low voltage lighting soon made its way indoors and is now very common for lighting applications like track lighting, recessed lighting, under cabinet lighting, strip lighting, and more. So, what's the deal with low voltage lighting? What does low voltage lighting do that regular line voltage can't? And why do people disagree on matters as seemingly straightforward as to whether or not low voltage light bulbs last longer?
Vaulted ceilings can be great assets to any building, giving rooms a much more spacious, airy feel. But all that extra space can also be a challenge to light. What's the best kind of lighting to use on a vaulted ceiling? We're glad you asked!
Start with recessed lighting. If your ceiling has any kind of slope to it, it will almost definitely benefit from a healthy spread of can lights. You really can't go wrong with recessed lighting in a vaulted ceiling because their versatility, inconspicuous design and customizable illumination. There are many kinds of recessed trims you can pick from, and we recommend choosing fixtures with housings specially designed for vaulted ceilings, like these. There are a lot of different ways to space your recessed lights, so take into consideration what effects you want the light to have. You might choose to spread recessed lights across the whole ceiling, or keep them mainly around the wall border. There's no right answer here, and for extra help, check out our blog post on laying out recessed lights. Recessed lights do great as the primary source of illumination, especially when paired with interesting pendant lights that create a beautiful layered look in your vaulted room.
Use pendant lights to fill the extra space and jazz up the room's style. Pendant lights and recessed lights are the dynamic duo of vaulted ceilings, so make sure you take full advantage of both! Pendant lights don't work in every room, so if you have a vaulted ceiling, go crazy. If you prefer something a little more practical (like a ceiling fan) or dramatic (like a chandelier), who's to stop you? Your vaulted ceiling gives you a lot of flexibility when it comes to what type of space-filling light fixture you want, so go with your gut. The sky's the limit.
You may have come across our most popular blog post of all time: "How To Layout Recessed Lighting in 4 Easy Steps." It gives readers step-by-step instructions about how to create an ideal lighting scheme in any room by adding recessed cans. Recently, we were racking our brains about how to bring that information to you in an even more accessible way…
Then inspiration struck!
We'll make an infographic about it. The business of mapping out your lights is so visual anyway, of course a solid visual aid would come in handy. Wouldn't it be better if readers could see how to sketch out their rooms? If they could visualize how to space out their fixtures? Or observe different lighting configurations?
We thought so.
If you're still in the dark about how to plan your recessed lights, get ready to learn. This infographic will teach you:
- Where your lights should go on the ceiling.
- How to create a focal point, or an even distribution of light.
- The amount of space that should go between each light.
- How to avoid unwanted, ugly shadows.
What do you need to know about recessed cans? If you wouldn't exactly label yourself an expert on these popular ceiling lights (welcome to the vast majority, my friend), it can be a huge pain to skim through pamphlet after pamphlet, manual after manual, trying to discern how to find the right lights for your space.
Instead, try taking a quick (and colorful) glance at our latest infographic, which illustrates the basic components of a recessed light, and what you should look for when picking one out. Learn what kind of housing you should use, the kinds of trims you can choose from, and how light sources like incandescents, LEDs, and more compare with one another.
Check it out:
It's hard to brighten a room with minimal overhead lighting, but it's not impossible.
The easiest way to get more light, and enhance the impact of your recessed cans is to convert them into hanging lights, or pendants.
So how can you make this happen?
First, choose your pendant lights based on where they'll hang in your space. If you're going to put them over a counter, kitchen island, or table, you can choose ones that will hang slightly lower. This will provide brighter task lighting without getting in the way. If you plan to install them in hallways or open areas, pick lights that will hang very close to the ceiling so they don't eat up your headroom.
To install the pendant lights in your recessed cans, you'll need the following:
- Recessed light converter kit
- Small vanity plate to cover the old recessed hole in your ceiling
- Screwdriver
- Painter's tape
- Ladder
- Circuit tester
Before you begin, make sure your city doesn't have any codes requiring a licensed electrician to perform the conversion. Continue reading »
A drop ceiling is a very common feature in offices, basements, theaters, and schools. It's made from a metal grid and "tiles" or "panels" hung below the structural ceiling. Also known as a secondary ceiling, suspended ceiling, T-bar ceiling, or false ceiling, it most often conceals air ducts or pipes for a clean look in a previously unfinished area. Often, these ceilings feature recessed can lights – a sleek option to illuminate a space without diminishing any headroom.
Whether you're building a brand new drop ceiling complete with recessed cans, or adding them to an existing ceiling, you'll need to accommodate some special electrical and structural needs with your installation.
Follow these steps to add recessed lights to your drop ceiling:
1. Find the right lights.
Heat is your biggest concern when choosing recessed lights for your ceiling. If a light generates too much heat, especially around plastic surfaced or fiberglass panels, it can create a fire hazard. LED recessed light fixtures run cooler than other light sources, so they're generally your best option. You should also choose lights with adjustable mounting arms, or heavy duty clips that can attach to support wires or bars above the ceiling.
2. Layout your lights.
Use graph paper to make a scale drawing of your room, so you can plan where each light should go. You should space them out according to your ceiling height, any focal points that you want to add, and how bright you want your room's ambient light to be. For more detailed advice on how to layout your recessed lights, check out this blog post: How To Layout Recessed Lighting in 4 Easy Steps.
3. Establish supports.
Drop ceilings are too delicate to support the weight of recessed lights on their own. Also, as your structure settles and shifts, the drop ceiling will move. Install extra wire supports over the tile to help hold the lights – one wire for each of the four corners of the tile. Using support bars or blocks with an additional frame that rests on the ceiling grid will work too. Make sure you can mount the light so it's flush with the face of the tile. For more info on using wire supports, check out this article from eHow. For more on support bars and frames, read this article from Armstrong World Industries. Continue reading »
When using LEDs in your recessed can lights, should you install completely new LED housings and trims, use LED retrofit modules, or simply switch out your light bulbs for LEDs?
A customer recently contacted Pegasus Lighting with that very question. She wanted to use LEDs in her recessed cans, and asked us about the advantages and disadvantages of LED housings/trims, retrofits, and light bulbs in order to make her decision.
So, our lighting experts went to work crafting an answer. Here's what they had to say:
When Using An LED Lamp With A Conventional Incandescent Housing And Trim…
This option is by far the simplest. Just unscrew that old incandescent or halogen light bulb and replace it with an LED lamp. Depending on the size of your recessed can, you can use LED reflector lamps or A lamps.
Easy To Alter. It only takes one person to screw in a light bulb (usually). So, if you don't like how your new LED light bulb looks or performs, you can switch it out for a different one with minimal hassle. Since LED innovations are still evolving and LED efficacy is increasing dramatically each year, using LED light bulbs gives you more freedom to try out new technology. With a more extensive LED system, it would be annoying and expensive to try to keep up with new technology.
Generally Cheaper Upfront. LED light bulbs for recessed cans can cost anywhere from about $15 to over $100, while the prices for LED retrofits and LED housings and trims range from around $30 to over $200.
Could Trip Your Circuit Breaker. LED light bulbs and conventional recessed can lights aren't always compatible. Some of the LED light bulbs used in halogen and incandescent recessed lights might cause a heat sensor inside the housing to trip your circuit breaker. This is because LED lamps generally direct heat up towards the ceiling and the fixture's heat sensor, while incandescent sources project heat down and out of the recessed light. Continue reading »
Holiday lights can have a bad reputation, but it's my goal to help put some sparkle back in your season; to "lighten" your load a bit. Below you'll find all the lights you need to prep your home for a headache-free holiday, from practical essentials to the best decorative fixtures and everything in between.
1. LED String Lights
Holiday string lights have always been one of the season's classic hallmarks, and also one of its biggest jokes. With their festive beauty often comes hours upon hours of trial and error, trying to find that single burnt-out light bulb ruining the bunch.
But, you shouldn't have to worry about burnt-out lights if you use LED Holiday Lights for your home this year. They have a 60,000 hour rated-life, so they'll stay lit for a long, long time.
On top of the impressive lifetime, LED lights generate much less heat, so you won't have to worry about holiday fire hazards. Plus, they use about 90% less energy than incandescent string lights, saving you money to use on more important things this season.
They come in a few cozy color temperatures, alluding to winter wonders like ice and candlelight. Continue reading »
This is the second post in a series dedicated to helping you create a home with beautiful lighting by choosing the best light bulbs. Yesterday, we tackled light bulbs for table and floor lamps. Recessed lights are a little more complicated, but once you've got the basics down, it's smooth sailing!
The first thing you'll need to do is determine which light bulb size your recessed light fixture takes. Here's what you'll see among recessed lighting options: BR30, MR11, MR16, PAR16, PAR20, PAR30, PAR38, R20, R30, R40.
Wow. Let's break that down a little: Continue reading »
Welcome to this fifth blog post of my New Home Project series. This series of posts reviews the lighting projects that I have undertaken in my new home since moving in to it in September 2009. To be honest, most of these projects have been completed some time ago. It was my goal to write a post after each project, but time just gets away from you sometimes. I cannot believe that it has been over 2 years since moving into my home.
This project involved adding seven 4-inch recessed cans throughout the first floor of my house.
- Four low voltage adjustable recessed trims for accent lighting.
- Three line voltage PAR halogen recessed baffle trims for general lighting.
- Each recessed fixture included a remodel housing. Continue reading »

Sam Hornish Starting 17th in Sunday's AAA Texas 500
November 2, 2012
FORT WORTH, Texas (Nov. 2, 2012) – Sam Hornish Jr. will begin Sunday's AAA Texas 500 from the 17th starting position. Hornish earned that spot by piloting the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Dodge to a lap of 28.628 seconds (188.627 mph) in this afternoon's qualifying session here at Texas Motor Speedway.
"I was just a little bit free getting to the green flag for my qualifying run in Turns 3 and 4," Hornish said of his run against the clock. "I got to one a little but higher of a line than what I wanted to be. With the car being a little bit free, I couldn't quite turn down like I needed to. I just lost too much time in one and two. Three and four were really good. The guys have me a really good Shell-Pennzoil Dodge Charger today. I didn't quite get all of the lap today that I needed. I was pretty happy with the way that the car was handling."
Sprint Cup points-leader Jimmie Johnson claimed the Coors Light Pole Award here this afternoon with a fast lap of 28.261 seconds (191.076 mph). Greg Biffle was the second-fastest driver with his lap of 28.264 seconds (190.382 seconds). Kyle Busch was third (with a lap of 28.402 seconds/190.127 mph), with Clint Bowyer fourth (28.411 seconds/190.067 mph) and Martin Truex Jr. fifth (28.422 seconds/189.994 mph).
Joey Logano qualified sixth, with Trevor Bayne seventh, Penske Racing's Brad Keselowski eighth (lap of 28.491 seconds/189.534 mph in the No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge), Carl Edwards ninth and Matt Kenseth 10th. Positions 11-20 for Sunday's race went to, in order, Mark Martin, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne, Aric Almirola, Marcos Ambrose, Jeff Gordon, Hornish, Kurt Busch, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Casey Mears.
"I think these are the races where we can perform the best," said crew chief Todd Gordon. "When we actually get to practice during the same daylight hours that we will be racing in is a good thing. We will utilize both practices here tomorrow to get our Shell-Pennzoil Dodge dialed in the best we can.
"We're confident that we can have a very competitive day here on Sunday," added Gordon.
Saturday's action here at Texas Motor Speedway features two practice sessions for the Sprint Cup teams. The first practice is scheduled from 2:00 p.m. till 2:50 p.m. and the final "happy hour" practice session is scheduled from 4:45 p.m. till 5:45 p.m. (on SPEED). Sunday's AAA Texas 500 (334 laps, 501 miles) has a scheduled 2:00 p.m. local starting time (3:00 p.m. ET) on the 1.5-mile Dallas/Fort Worth Area speed plant. ESPN-TV and PRN Radio (also on Sirius-XM NASCAR Channel 90) will provide live coverage of all the action.

Christmas Quotes and Sayings
Christmas does not remind us that God was born over 2000 years ago. It is a time to remember that God was born in our heart and lives in our heart, everyday!
As you prepare to celebrate Christmas, remind yourself that life itself is a celebration. Make each day a celebration!
You know you've grown up when none of the things you want for Christmas can be bought at a store.
The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.
– Burton Hillis
Christmas is not as much about opening our presents as opening our hearts.
– Janice Maeditere
No matter which side you are on and even though it's not your religion, I bet you are enjoying the Christmas.
Christmas is a time when not only share love and joy but the time when we share ourselves.
Christmas is not only giving gift, it is the time to love and forgive, to show that we are happy all the time not only the season of Christmas but every time in our life.
If we keep Christ in our heart. Christmas has no end.
When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things – not the great occasions – give off the greatest glow of happiness.
– Bob Hope
My idea of Christmas, whether old- fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?
– Bob Hope
Don't be scared if a big fat man comes in to your room and stuffs you in a bag… I told Santa I want you for Christmas!!!
Christmas is the time when you be with the ones you love, spending time with family.
Jesus is the reason, to celebrate the season.
Christmas isn't about seeing, it's about believing.
Dear Santa: Please send me an elf for Christmas. They make me feel tall.
Christmas is about Jesus Christ being born and spending time with your family but children think it is about gifts and Santa Clause.
Remember! Jesus is the reason for the season.
You can never say Christmas without Christ.
Dear Santa, I would like a thin body and a fat bank account. Don't mix it up this year!
Christmas is a time when I remember our loved ones gone on to be with Jesus, I will light a candle for them this year & have them near my heart along with my decorations by my loved ones; they will all twinkle in my eyes along with my loved ones left here on earth with us…for my heart will never stop, but rather it will keep on going thumpity thump with the songs of joy to help us through…Ka chink Ka chink my eyes will twinkle:)
It is that time of year when we celebrate the birth of Jesus the Christ. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and died on a wooden cross for the sins of mankind. To those who believe and follow Him, He gives eternal life. Is there any greater or more precious gift than this?
Christmas is celebrated spirituality, physically and emotionally, but centered in love that penetrates into the soul through feeling, seeing and hearing. Ingredients of this is joy and cheers.

Super Bowl week List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Sunday if you missed......... 13) Most under-reported story in sports; guy named Erik Compton is T5 thru seven holes in last round of the PGA Tour event at Torrey Pines. Mr Compton has had two heart transplants; not bypasses, transplants. In other words, the guy is on his third heart and is a pro athlete. Amazing. 12) CBS had an interesting thing Sunday about how golf course workers make new holes for each round, then replace the holes from the previous day. Never saw that before; guess the guy making the holes was a real-life Carl Spackler from Caddyshack. 11) Lakers/Clippers both had home games Sunday; I'm wondering how many people were at both games. Would be interesting to know. 10) Clipper announcers were saying Sunday night that Blake Griffin has it in back of his mind that he could play tight end in the NFL, but no one in the NFL could step in and be an NBA player. Interesting debate. 9) Very bad news for the Celtics, with Rajan Rondo tearing his ACL; you look at the playoff picture in NBA East, and you see teams #1-7 are fairly well ahead of everyone else. Boston is in 8th place, and now is vulnerable to being passed by anyone who can get close to .500. Curious to see how Danny Ainge approaches this; does he go the veteran route to try and patchwork his way into the playoffs, or does he turn to a youth movement, which is harder in the NBA than in most sports. 8) Memphis PG Mike Conley also got hurt Sunday and Grizzlies fizzled in 4th quarter without him, losing 91-83 to the Hornets- they were outscored 27-15 with game on the line in fourth quarter. 7) There is a TV show on TLC called Plastic Wives, about four women in Beverly Hills, who are all married to plastic surgeons. Terrific. It is my duty to watch this show and report back to you, so I will. Soon. 6) You look at seven non-football Big East schools who are branching off to form their own league and after Georgetown/Marquette/Villanova, and Villanova is a maybe, those teams aren't very good, though they are mostly located in big cities, which could promise big TV ratings. Providence/DePaul/Seton Hall/St John's; no title contenders there, which is why VCU/Butler/Saint Louis could be appealing to the new league. 5) SMU went 33-34 last two years, with PG Jeremiah Samarrippas in his first two years as a college player; when Larry Brown took over the SMU program, he sent Jeremiah packing, saying he wasn't good enough to play for the Mustangs, not while Brown was coach. Young Samarrippas is now at Tennessee Tech, and Brown's first SMU club is 11-10, 1-5 in Conference USA, while turning ball over 23.6% of time, #313 in country in that important category. Maybe they should've kept the kid around-- its mid-major college ball, not the NBA. 4) Random stats: Road team is 9-0 vs spread in Idaho's WAC games, dogs are 8-1; underdogs covered all six of South Carolina's SEC games. 3) How badly does Texas need PG Myck Kabongo (due back Feb 13)? They lead the whole country in eFG%, and they're 1-5 in the Big X; teams that play great FG% defense generally win a lot of games, but Texas is #299 in eFG% offense, so their games have basically been rebounding contests. 2) Miami looked great in whipping Duke during the week, but I was lot more impressed by them following that up with 71-47 rout of Florida State; its one thing to beat a rival you seldom beat, but to pound another rival in the next game too, well thats a signal that Miami is the real deal. 1) CBS' coverage of Sunday's Super Bowl starts at 11am. Game is at 6:30; they can really get companies to buy commercial time for stuff seven hours before kickoff? Good for them.
Make post sticky on:
Tuesday's List of 13: Some college basketball knowledge...... 13) WAC—Louisiana Tech is 18-3, 9-0 under rising coaching star Michael White (if Andy Kennedy were to move up from Ole Miss, Rebel alum White makes sense there); Denver's Princeton offense is tough to prep for, New Mexico State has best inside game (rebounding 38.7% of its misses in WAC games), Utah State has major injury issues. 12) Horizon—Valparaiso has two-game lead, due to win at Detroit, when they won after trailing 50-32 at half. Detroit has best player (McCallum), Green Bay blocks 17.7% of opponents' shots, Wright State forces turnovers 23.5% of time. 11) C-USA—Southern Miss/Memphis are both unbeaten in league play; USM is a juggernaut, making 43.9% of 3's, forcing turnovers 28.1% of time in league games. Memphis is making 57% of shots inside arc. Central Florida's (14-5, 4-1) Keith Clanton might be best player in league. 10) WCC—Gonzaga is 6-0, leads league in eFG% on both sides of ball; they played seven non-league games vs top 100 teams, plus Davidson/West Virginia (usually top 100 teams), so they're battle-tested enough to survive challenges from lesser league rivals. As usual, St Mary's (57.3% on 2-point shots), BYU (turning ball over least while playing fastest tempo) are prime contenders. 9) MVC—Creighton is offensive machine (60.7 eFG% leads country) but Bluejays trail defensively-stout Wichita State by a game. Shockers are rebounding 39.9% of own misses in MVC play. Right now, looks like these will be only two teams in NCAAs, unless there's an upset in conference tournament at Arch Madness in St Louis. 8) A-16—New kids Butler/VCU are leading league first time around; it is stupid to have 16 teams in a league, but this is only year for that (Charlotte/ Temple leave after this year). LaSalle had huge week last week, but lack of inside game hurts them on road. Saint Louis is inspired playing for its deceased coach; GW is team of future in this conference. 7) SEC—Ole Miss is 17-2, 6-0, turning ball over less, getting to foul line more than any team in league; is Kentucky's visit tonight biggest home game in Rebel history? Florida's eFG% is 39.2%- some think they're best team in country. Rest of league is rebuilding, including Kentucky (forcing turnovers only 15.3% of time in SEC). 6) Big X— West Virginia/Texas are combined 3-10 in league, so other than Kansas (get steal or blocked shot 28.7% of time), Baylor (38.4% behind arc behind premiere guard Jackson), no one here is guaranteed an at-large bid. Texas gets PG Kabongo back in two weeks; will it be too late? 5) Pac-12—Oregon is surprising 7-0 in league, but now PG Artis is hurt; freshman PG Carson has Arizona State at 16-4, 5-2, big improvement from LY's 10-21, when he was ineligible. Arizona (17-2, 5-2) is near top, as always, but lack of a true PG will doom them in March; Ben Howland has improved UCLA (16-5, 6-2) playing fastest-paced games in league. 4) ACC—Miami beat Duke by 27, Florida State by 24 last week; if their uniforms were blue and said "DUKE" on front, they'd be a top 5 team. Hurricanes' eFG% is 38.6, #1 in ACC. 3) MWC—Yes, this is #3 league in America right now; four teams look to be in, barring a collapse. No one in this league is a pushover, not even Air Force, which lost by only 3 to Wichita State. UNLV would be lot more dangerous if they had a legit PG. San Diego State trailed 20-9 at half in Wyoming, then held New Mexico to 34 points for whole game Saturday. 2) Big East—Everyone's going their separate ways after this year; will be very weird seeing Syracuse play in ACC. Orange (18-2, 6-1) seem to be best team this year, with Louisville losing three of its last four games. Marquette (14-4, 5-1) always seems to over-achieve. 1) Big Dozen—Think very highly of both Michigan teams; not that sold on Indiana club that didn't play true road game until New Year's Eve. Liked Minnesota a lot, but now they've lost four games in row, all by 8 or less points. Wisconsin's odd system is one you'll want to avoid on first weekend of tournament. Ohio State is 2-3 vs top 50 teams, and they almost lost at home to Michigan after leading 29-8. Wolverines are real good, but a Final Four team salts games like that away.
LA Lakers- 18,997 LA Clippers- 19,060 If Blake Griffin can punt in Kia commercials, perhaps he can hope to be the next Bo Jackson, or Deion Sanders, or maybe even Michael J...nah stick to dunking over cars in slam dunk competitions Blake. Even though your jumper has mightily improved season by season, you're going to be simply overlooked considering you shoot free throws around the Shaq/Dwight Howard percentage. I think Boston will hold off Philadelphia and settle for the 8th spot, but that's not a whole lot of consolation considering their first round opponent is likely to be Miami or the Knicks in round 1. Either way they call for suitable revenge spots from 2011-12. He does sound Indian after awhile that Rajan Rondo doesn't he when you hear his name mentioned at least a dozen times a day? Miami according to the ratings have been undervalued and underappreciated all season, but back to back 20 point wins including knocking off the then #1 Blue Devils saw the Canes vault 11 spots to #14 in the AP Poll. They play great defense, look for the high percentage shot with the clock running deep, and can dazzle in transition with their full court speed. Not a team anybody would want to see in round 1 of March Madness.
Wednesday's six-pack Some of the more obscure wagering propositions for Sunday at the sportsbooks…… -- Louisville Cardinals' points are -3.5 over Frank Gore's rushing yards. – Russ Smith's points are -2.5 over Colin Kaepernick's completed passes. – Ravens' points are -5 over points scored by Paul Pierce against the Clippers Sunday. – Blake Griffin's points plus rebounds are -3 over 49ers' points. – Kaepernick's passing yardage is -46.5 over the total in the Clipper-Celtic game. – Kobe Bryant's points Sunday are -4 over the 49ers' points. Like I said, the props pages are like 35 pages long; tremendous amount of wagering options. If you like action, Sunday's your day.
Thursday's six-pack -- OK, so spraying something called deer antler spray into your mouth makes you play better? How does someone find stuff like this out? -- If I was a pro athlete and someone accused me of breaking the rules and I was innocent, I'd sue that person for slander. Very loudly and publicly. -- Lakers were outscored 29-13 in 4th quarter, lost 92-86 in Steve Nash's return to Phoenix. These aren't fun days for the purple and gold. -- Mountain West is #3 league in country, and Air Force is 4-2 in league play; Flyboys beat Fresno by 12. Their star Lyons is very good. -- USC wins 75-71 in OT at UCLA; any chance interim coach Bob Cantu does enough to get the fulltime gig with the Trojans? -- Working Oregon-Stanford on ESPNU, Bill Walton said he's been to 835 Grateful Dead concerts. I'm not sure I've done anything 835 times, other than maybe ordering out for pizza.
Thursday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud....... 13) Mets won't sign free agent CF Michael Bourn because they want to keep the #11 pick in this year's amateur draft, which they would forfeit if they signed Bourn. That tells you how hard they're trying to win this year and next. Not very. 12) If Alex Rodriguez never plays again because of his hip injury, he'll still get paid the $114M he's owed over the next five years, but the Bronx Bombers would get 85% ($96.9M) of it back from their insurance policy on the contract; lets hope that doesn't happen, since it would free up roughly $19M a year for them to pilfer other team's good players with. 11) Since 1995, attendance at Tennessee Vols' home football games is down 12,600 fans a game. They've paid or are paying off $18M to fired coaches, all of which helps explains why the athletic department is in serious trouble, roughly $200M in debt. Winning helps raise money; losing does not. 10) Looking through Baseball America Prospects' Handbook, isn't much to look at with Toronto/Washington's systems; both teams are in win-now mode. Toronto's system is especially threadbare. 9) Virginia hired former NC State HC Tom O'Brien as assistant HC/offense, Cavaliers' OC Bill Lazor quickly bolted UVa for a job with Chip Kelly's first Eagle staff- think it's a coincidence? 8) Speaking of Virginia, they signed on for a home/home series with Oregon, starting this fall. That's two losses for Virginia, but likely a hefty check from Nike for the trip to Eugene, and a couple of games on national TV, which Virginia can use for needed exposure. 7) Fair question: wonder if Miami Heat players would've been as excited about visiting the White House Monday had Mitt Romney won the election last November? Somehow, I doubt it. 6) ESPNU has ten hours (10 hours!!!) of coverage on National Signing Day for college football next Wednesday; thats a very big deal here in the south. Back in the north, not so much. Recruiting is a fascinating subject. 5) Albert Pujols makes $25M a year from Angels, who want Albert to skip the WBC in March. Pujols wants to play for his country, but since his employer has so much invested in his health, this could be a problem. 4) Last nine times NC State beat North Carolina in basketball, they lost their next ACC game; that's a sign of immaturity. Their record after wins over Duke ain't much better. Hard to tell exactly how good the Wolfpack is. 3) Colin Kaepernick is 4th QB to start a Super Bowl in same season of his first NFL start. First three: Vince Ferragamo/lost, Kurt Warner/Tom Brady both won. 2) Its fashionable to bash football now; everyone knows it's a violent game, you know that before you sign up to play. Not sure how the plaintiffs will prove that it was NFL football, and not college/high school ball that gave them their concussion(s). 1) Free agent pitcher Carl Pavano lacerated his spleen (ouch!!) this winter, won't be signing with anyone for a while; Pavano is one of our heroes for getting $39.5M from Bronx for four years, then going 9-8, 5.00 in 26 starts total over those four years. $39M, 29 starts, that's terrible value, but its still better than ARod's contract.

These Prop Bets Are Chock Full Of Deer Antler Spray Before we get into my favorite Super Bowl prop bets, there are a few football topics that I want to briefly discuss. So apparently, Ray Lewis's miraculous comeback from a torn goddamn triceps is due to his love for deer antler velvet spray. I just—I don't even know what to say about this. I mean, who the fuck even thought of testing that to see if it possessed human tissue building capabilities? I can't even imagine a more random thing to research to determine if it was similar to HGH. That is fucking BANANAS. The fact that Ray Ray's dirty blood is now combined with his rusty knife 4 days before his last game is just tremendous. OBVZ he is going to play because The Rog is way too much of a pussy to suspend him now but this is just awesome. If you didn't hate Ray Lewis before, then you should definitely now. I'm sure that this mouth steroids spray is all part of God's grand plan. Is there any doubt that Jim Harbaugh was behind this story leak? He's probably just getting back at John for making up those rape charges for Mike Crabtree. I'll tell ya, the prank war between the BRAHs is getting heated! Also, in his certain LOL-worthy interview with THEE Dr. Phil McGraw airing today, Ronaiah Tuiasasopo revealed that he fell in love with Manti Te'o. HAHAHAHAHA!!! What a swerve! Everyone wanted to believe that Manti was gay but, in reality, it was actually the Catfisherman who was looking to get his anus hooked! And you know that this guy was beating off constantly while Te'o was saying comforting things to "the love of his life" while "she" was "dying". Notre Dame = gay. With that out of the way, let's get into my Top 10 favorite prop bets for the Super Bowl!!! MVP –Let's get this one out of the way first since it is a total crapshoot. You are going to be tempted to bet money on Ray Lewis here. DO NOT DO THAT. He's not going to win it. That's a waste of money and it makes no sense why his odds are the 3rd lowest (+800). The 49ers can't win the Super Bowl without Colin K being the MVP. FACT. The Ravens can win the Super Bowl without Flacco being ELITE. 10. The number of times Ray Lewis mentions God in his postgame interview: OVER/UNDER 3 - This is a fucking lock if Baltimore wins. It is never going to happen if they lose and he is too "heartbroken" to speak much. By the way, this is one of the best props of all time. 9. The number of times that the announcers refer to the game as the Harbaugh Bowl, Har-Bowl, or Super Baugh: UNDER 2.5 - You would think that this would be an easy over but I honestly don't think that the CBS booth will say it more than once. Nantz is a pro who doesn't usually get sucked into sideshows (Butler Cabin excluded) and Simms is such an idiot that he probably doesn't even know that these coaches are related. 8. Colin Kaepernick's 1st TD pass: UNDER 13.5 yards - I've just got a feeling on this one. I don't see either team really airing it out early (lots of dink and dunk AKA The Todd Haley Special). 7. Torrey Smith receiving yards: OVER 65.5 - I'm a big fan of this kid. The Ravens are going to throw it deep. They always do. They usually only throw it to Smith. And I've seen Carlos Rogers play enough to know that he enjoys getting burnt. 6. Colin Kaepernick first rushing attempt: OVER 5.5 yards - I really like this one. He's going to be nervous and will not hold on to it on a zone read unless the hole is wider than Tony Siragusa's ass. 5. Will either team score in the first 6 minutes: NO - Neither one of these teams has gotten off to good starts in either of their playoff games. 4. Alicia Keys National Anthem Length: UNDER 2:05 - Last year, Fat Ass Kelly Clarkson sang it in 1:34. Even though Keys is way more talented, can she tack on an extra 30 seconds? Hells nah, BRAH. I also like the prop that Keys won't screw up any words. She's a pro, dammit! 3. How many times will "Harbaugh" be said during the game: OVER 20.5 - Are you kidding? Why would anyone bet the under? Has there ever been a football game where the head coach was just ignored by the broadcast booth? 2. Total combined pass completions by both teams: UNDER 38.5 - In the playoffs, Flacco averages 19 completions and Kaepernick 16. They are both facing better defenses than anything they've seen the past month. The under is an easy play. 1. First half total points: UNDER 23.5 - Don't even think about it. I proved last year that this prop is a lock. I don't like many of the yardage props this year simply because both offenses are unpredictable and inconsistent. So I'm sticking with QB props and betting on both of them being nervous. That seems like a winning strategy to me. Tomorrow, I get to unleash my annual 15 pronged prediction generator to determine who wins the Super Bowl. Just admit it...you're falling in love with me.
Thought on the over 20.5 "Harbaugh's"....since they are both "Harbaughs" won't there be more "John" and "Jim" mentioned necessarily than "Harbaugh"? People won't know which one they are talking about? Just a thought on that one....Great stuff this week as always my man!
True that Finance. You know its all for fun and entertainment purposes only anyway, right? lol GL
But of course - LOL....I do like the no score in the first 6 minutes one and may even throw a bone on the first 7:30....

Dodgers eye more division success behind Greinke
Rockies counter with Chatwood, looking to stay strong in road starts
While National League West clubs gave the Dodgers plenty of trouble at the beginning of the season, it has been smooth sailing for the Boys in Blue against divisional opponents over the past three weeks.
After a 9-23 start against the division, the Dodgers have gone 13-3 in their past 16 games. That has been the biggest reason for their recent surge, picking up seven games in the standings since being a season-worst 9 1/2 games out of first place on June 22.
After a 3-0 loss to the Rockies on Friday, the Dodgers will try to rebound Saturday in Los Angeles.
Zack Greinke (7-2, 3.91 ERA) gets the nod for the Dodgers, facing Colorado for the third time this season. He beat the Rockies on July 3, but was charged with five runs on six hits in five innings of work. A winner in four straight contests, the right-hander would still like to be steadier in each start.
"It can't just be one game, then a bad game," Greinke said. "I've got to be more consistent."
Meanwhile, Colorado sends right-hander Tyler Chatwood (5-2, 2.74 ERA) to the hill. He's been impressive away from Coors Field this season, going 3-1 with a 1.26 ERA in five road starts. Opponents have hit just .214 in those outings.
He's been just as good against NL West opponents in five starts this year, going 4-1 with a 2.45 ERA.
Chatwood allowed five runs on 11 hits in five innings to take a loss opposite Greinke last week, but recovered his last time out against the Padres. He allowed two runs on five hits in 6 2/3 innings for the win against another divisional foe. He also struck out five and walked three.
"We couldn't really solve him," Padres manager Bud Black said afterward. "Lively fastball, quick arm for a young guy, has a little life to him in the hitting area. Good hook, couple good changeups, too. He pitches aggressive, comes at you a little bit, but good fastball."
"I just wanted to go right after guys," Chatwood said after the start. "The defense made some good plays behind me, and I just felt I was in rhythm."
Rockies: Rutledge going through sophomore slump
• After becoming an immediate success with the Rockies last season, Josh Rutledge has struggled during the first half of this season.
The second baseman hit .274 with eight home runs, 37 RBIs and seven stolen bases in less than half a season last year and was named the Opening Day starter at second base this spring. But he's hit .212 this season and spent part of May and June with Triple-A Colorado Springs. He is hitting only .145 since his return.
"He's fighting through some of the adjustments that you have to fight through in this league, especially as a young player," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "When you first come up and you have early success, it's tough to sustain up here."
Dodgers: Puig starts, but exits after four
• While Yasiel Puig started in right field Friday night against the Rockies, he left the game after four innings when he aggravated his bruised left hip.
Puig jogged to first base on two groundouts in his only at-bats. He also left Thursday's 6-1 win against the Rockies after the seventh inning. The rookie said his hip has bothered him since he slammed it into the right-field fence at Coors Field on July 3, and he is considered day-to-day for the final two games before the All-Star break.
Scott Van Slyke replaced Puig in right field in the top of the fifth and went 0-for-2 with a strikeout.
Worth noting
• Dodgers left-hander Ted Lilly, on the disabled list with a neck issue, threw a simulated game Friday afternoon at Dodger Stadium. Lilly faced Van Slyke, Tim Federowicz, Skip Schumaker and Nick Punto.
• The Dodgers will the screen the hit film "42" at Dodger Stadium after Saturday's game. Academy Award winning director Brian Helgeland, actors Chadwick Boseman and John C. McGinley and Dodgers great Don Newcombe, a teammate of Jackie Robinson, will participate in a question-and-answer session prior to the screening. Fans seated in the outfield pavilions will be allowed down on the field to watch the movie.

A shinbone fracture is a break in the tibia. The tibia is the larger of 2 bones in the lower leg that connects the knee to the ankle. It runs on the inside of the lower leg. The fibula is much smaller and runs along the outside of the lower leg.
A shinbone fracture is caused by trauma to the shinbone. Trauma includes:
- Falls
- Twists
- Blows
- Collisions
- Gunshot wounds
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of a shinbone fracture include:
- Advancing age
- Osteoporosis
- Certain diseases or conditions that result in bone or mineral loss, such as abnormal or absent menstrual cycles
- Having gone through menopause
- Certain diseases and conditions that weaken bones, such as tumors or cysts
- Decreased muscle mass
Playing certain sports that may result in:
- Spiral fractures—associated with collisions or falls from sports such as soccer or skiing
- Stress fractures—associated with overuse or repetitive motion from sports such as gymnastics or dance
- Violence, such as car or car-pedestrian accidents
Shinbone fracture may cause:
- Pain that ranges from mild to severe, but worsens with activity
- Swelling, inflammation, and tenderness
- Bruising in the injured area
- Decreased range of motion of the knee or ankle
- Limping
- Inability to bear weight on the fractured leg
The doctor will ask about your symptoms, physical activity, and how the injury occurred. The doctor will examine the injured area.
Imaging tests may include:
Proper treatment can prevent long-term complications or problems with your shinbone. Treatment will depend on how serious the fracture is, but may include:
Intial Care
Extra support may be needed to protect, support, and keep your shinbone in line while it heals. Supportive steps may include a splint, brace, walking boot, or cast. A walker or crutches will help you move around while keeping weight off your leg.
Some fractures cause pieces of bone to separate. Your doctor will need to put these pieces back into their proper place. This may be done:
- Without surgery—you will have anesthesia to decrease pain while the doctor moves the pieces back into place
- With surgery—pins, screws, plates, or a rod may be needed to reconnect the pieces and hold them in place
Children's bones are still growing at an area of the bone called the growth plate. If the fracture affected the growth plate, your child may need to see a specialist. Injuries to the growth plate will need to be monitored to make sure the bone can continue to grow as expected.
Prescription or over-the-counter medications may be given to help reduce inflammation and pain.
Medications may include acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
Check with your doctor before taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen or aspirin.
Note: Aspirin is not recommended for children with a current or recent viral infection. Check with your doctor before giving your child aspirin.
Rest and Recovery
Healing time varies by age and your overall health. Children and people in better overall health heal faster. In general, it takes up to 4-6 months for a fractured shinbone to heal.
You will need to adjust your activities while your shinbone heals, but complete rest is rarely required. Ice and elevating your leg at rest may also be recommended to help with discomfort and swelling.
As you recover, you may be referred to physical therapy or rehabilitation to start range-of-motion and strengthening exercises. Do not return to activities or sports until your doctor gives you permission to do so.
To help reduce your chance of a shinbone fracture:
- Do weight-bearing and strengthening exercises regularly to build strong bones
- Wear proper padding and safety equipment when participating in sports or activities
- Do not put yourself at risk for trauma to the bone
To help reduce falling hazards at work and home, take these steps:
- Clean spills and slippery areas right away
- Remove tripping hazards such as loose cords, rugs, and clutter
- Use non-slip mats in the bathtub and shower
- Install grab bars next to the toilet and in the shower or tub
- Put in handrails on both sides of stairways
- Walk only in well-lit rooms, stairs, and halls
- Keep flashlights on hand in case of a power outage

BaByliss Pro TT Tourmaline 5000 Hair Dryer
Join the Conversation
AnonymousLas Vegas, NVTourmaline Hair DryersI m thinking of purchasing the Babyliss Pro TT Tourmaline 5000 hair dryer as an alternative to the T3 Tourmaline by HairArt since I found out that the T3 only has one speed/heat setting. The Babyliss Pro TT Tourmaline 5000 supposedly has more settings, plus is cheaper than the T3. Any suggestions on the quality of Babyliss, and its ability to dry hair faster? My hair usually takes 20 min. to blow dry. Its thick and slightly wavy.Reply to this postJan 19, 2010Link to this post
Susan W.Baton Rouge, LAGreat Hair DryerI have thick hair and it always took a long time to dry (20-30 min)... Until I bought the Babylisspro TT Tourmaline 5000 about 5-6 years ago. It gets rid of the frizzies and dries my hair in less than 10 minutes. Love it. Mine has been used every day since I've had it (not only by me, but by my daugher, daughter-in-law, granddaughers, and sisters when they visit) and is just now showing signs that I need a new one. It has just started making high pitched sounds, and in my experience, that is the sound of one that is on it's last leg. I'm in the market for a new one now so I won't wake up one morning and find that it no longer works. I just wish it was still available with the travel size as well. My daughter is a hair stylist and uses this air dryer in her business. She just bought a new one and it is a lighter weight than mine. I'm looking forward to that.Mar 11, 2012Link to this post
