Marlins' Alvarez tries to sneak up on Padres
Right-hander has not faced San Diego, which will start lefty Erlin
When Henderson Alvarez gets into a groove, the Marlins tend to have fun games. It's just a matter of when the 24-year-old finds that rhythm.
He did his last time out. Alvarez breezed to a 3-0 shutout over the Mets at Marlins Park in a game that lasted just two hours and eight minutes.
The flip side is, Alvarez can be shaky, like he was in his first start of the season, when he gave up six runs (three earned) over three innings in a loss to the Rockies.
Which Alvarez will show up in the four-game series finale between the Marlins and Padres on Sunday? Alvarez will have the element of surprise. He's never faced the Padres.
The Padres, who will start left-hander Robbie Erlin, are looking to get their primary players back on the field.
On Saturday, third baseman Chase Headley returned from the disabled list after he missed 14 games with a strained right calf. He went 1-for-3 with a homer, two walks and three RBIs in the Padres' 9-3 win.
At some point next week, possibly Tuesday in Cincinnati, the team could get outfielder Carlos Quentin back from the DL as well. He hasn't played in 2014 because of a bone bruise in his left knee from a sliding catch in Spring Training.
Consider this: The Padres haven't had Headley, Quentin, Cameron Maybin and Yonder Alonso in the same starting lineup since … Sept. 5, 2012.
Manager Bud Black, his head still likely spinning from Friday's rare 10-run outburst, which was followed by Saturday's nine-run blowout, feels the offense is starting to come around. Still, it's a matter of more than just one or two hitters having a big game.
"You can handle one or two guys scuffling … not six or seven," Black said.
Headley, who led the National League in RBIs (115) in 2012, figures to bolster the offense. The same goes for Quentin, who is itching to get back in the starting lineup.
"I want to come back and see if I can help," Quentin said.
Quentin, however, won't be in the lineup on Sunday. So Alvarez won't have to worry about the slugger.
An area Alvarez has worked on with pitching coach Chuck Hernandez is putting away hitters.
"I've been working with Chuck in the bullpen on fixing a few pitches -- the slider, and sinker," Alvarez said. "I'm trying to get the sinker down."
Mother's Day around Major League Baseball has been day to raise breast cancer awareness.
Some players from both teams will be using pink bats.
"It's my first Mother's Day in the big leagues," Marlins 22-year-old outfielder Christian Yelich said. "My mom's going to be here. I'll definitely use the pink bat and pink shoes. It's cool. It's going to be exciting for him. She will be fired up to be able to see me play in the big leagues on Mother's Day."
Marlins: Rocky road at the plate
Credit is due to the Padres' starters during this series. Ian Kennedy struck out 12 on Thursday night and Tyson Ross fanned eight more on Friday
Overall, the Padres pitchers combined for 39 strikeouts in the first three games.
The Marlins see it as a combination of good pitching and some impatient hitting, which has led to the team not getting the job done at the plate.
"Maybe we're trying too hard on the road," manager Mike Redmond said. "A lot of strikeouts. I've seen us get out of our approach. We've sustained our approach really well at home, where we are swinging at strikes and taking walks.
"For some reason, when we get on the road, we're not quite as patient. Guys are expanding the strike zone, swinging at pitches in counts they normally don't swing at. I don't really have an answer for it. You'd think it would be the opposite. You'd think on the road you'd be more relaxed and locked in."
Padres: Looking to get Gyorko going
Second baseman Jedd Gyorko enjoyed a career night at the plate Friday as he hit a pair of home runs, including a grand slam, for the second time in his career while driving in a career-high six runs.
The second home run was the second grand slam of his career, and he's hit the last two grand slams for the Padres.
These are all big developments for Gyorko, who has struggled this season, hitting well below .200. He's not the only one, though.
There are several players in the starting lineup that Black would like to see get hot. Maybe that 10-run outburst Friday was just the start?
"I think there's more of that to come," Black said. "I think guys are more capable of those performances."
Gyorko's success in May isn't new. He has 10 career home runs in May, the most home runs of any month during the season. He already has four this month.
Worth noting
• On Casey McGehee's 137th at-bat of the season, the Miami third baseman belted his first home run of the season. McGehee, who played in Japan last year, had not homered since Aug. 11, 2012, when he was with the Yankees against the Blue Jays. The home run was estimated at 417 feet.
• After scoring 92 runs in their first 36 games, the Padres have scored 19 in their last 16 innings. And they've done it at spacious Petco Park, too -- with two home runs Friday and two more Saturday (Chase Headley and Seth Smith). The Padres moved ahead of the Braves for the 29th spot in baseball in runs (111).
• Giancarlo Stanton's single in the sixth inning on Saturday extended his hit streak to 12 games, matching a career high.
• The Marlins decided to designate reliever Carlos Marmol for assignment following Saturday's loss. Marmol entered the sixth inning of a 2-2 ballgame and allowed four runs. A corresponding roster move will be made before Sunday's finale.

The hooks do NOT fit under the shelf. They only fit along the front edge despite what the picture shows. So you cannot hang 2 rows of pots, only one right at the front of the unit. They can't be hung closer to the wall. In addition, the first one that arrived was broken where the brackets are poorly sodered to the unit. The mounting hardware consists of only 8 screws - no anchors. Something this heavy that is hanging heavy pots should have anchors and the screws and screw holes should be bigger. The screws are made of very soft metal and strip easily. You are better off buying something of better quality.
The pot rack attaches to the wall by two arms. The pins that attach the arm to the rack were completely broken off. It appeared this item may have already been returned. I sent it back, was quickly refunded. Purchased a different style rack.
iF YOU NEED EXTRA STORAGE FOR PANS LIKE I DID AND HAVE SOME WALL SPACE BUY THIS!!!!! It is very heavy so I did need help installing it.. but all you have to do is take it out of the box and put it up its great! If your going into just plaster and cannot locate the studs or they are in the wrong place... y ou will need to pilot drill and install anchors but other than that super simple!!!!
A great deal for the price. Not as high quality as some other models, but it gets the job done at a lower cost than most others on the site. Looks great. Need two people to install it, it's too heavy for one person to hold it up while drilling.
We are delighted, as always, with the products Overtock.com makes available! The pot rack was perfect for what we needed and as described when we opened the box. The pot rack was already assembled with the exception of hanging the hooks on it. Be sure to install it securely as you will want to hang all your pots on it.
We've had this pot rack now for several years and it is very sturdy and gives us much needed storage in our kitchen. I would say that up close, the finish isn't the highest quality, but who gets up close to their pot rack? It's very functional and it's decorative as well. We also store cookbooks on the top of it.
i do not have a lot of space in my kitchen, so this pot rack fit perfectly above the windows. saves tons of space in my cabinets. looks very nice.
Cheaply made, the braces were bent. Also the color was not as expected.
Good, quality construction, rustic welding job in keeping with the antiqued style of the rack, but the antique bronze color looks like a 3-year-old randomly brushed brown paint over black metal. Returning it and hoping the pewter is better.
There was a weird film on the finish. When my husband brushed it off, he saw that it was painted (badly) to look like pewter. He had to paint it again. We are in the middle of restoring a house and he really wasn't looking for another DIY project. There aren't enough screws to securely fasten it to the wall for how heavy it is, not to mention the weight of the pots you'd store on it. Also, the hooks are hard to attach. Very disappointed.

Set in the lower part of the valley, it is part of the Chablais and rubs shoulders with the towns of Collombey-Muraz and Vouvry and even overflows 5 km over the border into France. The town's highest point is the Tour de Don, at an altitude of 1'998 m.
In Vionnaz, visitors can visit the parish church, the old bell tower, the private Vionnaz castle, the great wall built to protect the town from flooding and the educational trail wending through the peat bogs, also called the 'Rigoles de Vionnaz'. The surrounding hillsides are dotted with villages sporting surprising names like, Beffeux, Bonne Année (Good Year), Le Chêne or Les Crosats.
The villages of Mayen, Revereulaz and Torgon are surrounded by old chalets whose names evoke local traditions: the Planchamp, Les Nez (the noses), la Cheurgne, Plan-la-Djeu etc. As for the residential area called la Jorette, it is situated at the very foot of the ski slopes. Surrounded by alpine forests, which provide a refreshing and peaceful setting, this is the first doorway to the world-renowned Portes du Soleil ski area.

Leake, Lyons clash in opener of crucial series
Reds sit 2 1/2 games behind Cards, Pirates in NL Central
If the Reds are going to claim a spot in the postseason, they'll have to get through the Cardinals first. The Cardinals, meanwhile, are going to have to take on the Pirates and hold off the Reds.
The good news for all three teams is this: They control their own destinies.
Cincinnati will play seven of its next 10 games against St. Louis, starting Monday night at Busch Stadium, where right-hander Mike Leake will square off with lefty Tyler Lyons. For the Cardinals, Monday's game marks a stretch of 13 straight games against the Reds and Pirates.
"They know. We don't have to go out and spell it out for them. We don't have to hold a meeting to tell them this is important. Every game from here on [out] is," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "It doesn't matter who we're playing. We've seen everybody play well against us, and we've seen ourselves play well against everybody. It's time to push, that's it."
Entering this three-game series in St. Louis, the Cardinals are tied with the Pirates atop the National League Central and 2 1/2 games ahead of the Reds, making these head-to-head matchups even more important.
"You'd rather have it like that, versus you depending on somebody else," Reds manager Dusty Baker said.
That said, if recent history is any indication, the Reds would probably prefer to face any club but the Cardinals. Cincinnati is 2-6 in its last eight games against St. Louis. Since opening the second half of the 2012 season, the Reds have lost their last six series to the Cardinals, their longest such skid since a stretch of eight straight series losses from June 24, 2003, to Aug. 18, 2004.
The Cardinals have been particularly dominant against the Reds in St. Louis, entering Monday with a 24-3-2 series advantage since the start of the 2003 season.
What's more, the Cardinals' pitching staff has held the Reds to four runs or fewer in 10 of their last 11 meetings, while St. Louis has scored at least 10 runs against Cincinnati four times in a single season for the first time since 1980.
"It's a big series. There's no doubt about it," Reds shortstop Zack Cozart said. "We've got to play better. Hopefully, we go into St. Louis and turn it around and play well and take a series, at least. ... I'm not going to say we need to prove anything to them. We know we're a good team. We've been winning all year on pitching and defense and getting timely hits."
Reds: Leake hoping for less stress
Leake was cruising along in his last start, retiring the first 10 D-backs he faced on Wednesday. But he gave up four runs in the fifth inning, turning an 8-0 lead into something a little too interesting from the Reds' perspective. Leake went on to give up those just those runs on six hits over six innings of work, and Cincinnati escaped with a 10-7 victory.
"Luckily, we had eight runs, and it wasn't too detrimental. It was a tough one," he said. "Being up, 8-0, and then ending up being a stressful game, it stinks. But at least we came out ahead."
• The Reds made several roster moves official on Sunday, placing lefty starter Tony Cingrani on the 15-day disabled list with a lower back strain. They selected the contract of right-hander Greg Reynolds from Triple-A Louisville to make Sunday's start and placed reliever Jonathan Broxton (right forearm surgery) on the 60-day DL to clear space for Reynolds on the 40-man roster.
Cardinals: Lyons jumps into pennant race
Lyons is getting the start in place of Jake Westbrook, who's on the disabled list with a lower back strain. While the intensity of a postseason chase might seem intense for someone with seven Major League starts to his name, the rookie left-hander seems anything but intimidated.
"It doesn't get much more exciting than that," Lyons said. "Those are as big of games that you can pitch in down the stretch like this against division opponents. It's exciting. It's what you want to do growing up."
Lyons was recalled last week and pitched two scoreless innings in relief on Tuesday. In seven starts this season, he's 2-4 with a 5.35 ERA.
Westbrook, meanwhile, played catch on the outfield grass Sunday morning and hopes to resume throwing off a mound this week. He is eligible to come off the disabled list Sept. 6.
Worth noting
• With 95 RBIs, Brandon Phillips is aiming to become the first second baseman in Reds history to lead the NL in RBIs and the first one with at least 100 RBIs since Joe Morgan drove in 111 in 1976.
• With 19 homers from the second spot in the order this year, Carlos Beltran has set a single-season Cardinals record for round-trippers from the No. 2 hole, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The old mark of 18 was set by Chris Duncan in 2006.

About Collection Service Bureau, Inc.
Summary of Collection Service Bureau, Inc.
Collection Service Bureau, Inc. was founded in 1964 in Scottsdale, Arizona. The company is a national debt collection agency that exclusively specializes in receivables management and recovery solutions for the healthcare industry.
Stop the Harassment Now
If you are being harassed by a debt collection agency or feel you may have been violated in any way, contact our office by completing the form or calling us at (800) 444-8731 and one of our specialists will immediately review your case free of charge, determine if the debt collection agency has violated the FDCPA, and if they have we will take immediate and appropriate action on your behalf. In addition once we have determined if you have a case and you have chosen to retain us as your attorney Collection Service Bureau from that point on will be legally prohibited to communicate with you directly and will have to communicate directly with your attorney.
How Debt Collection Agencies Profit From You
Most collection agencies operate on a contingency basis, which means that they do not get paid by their client unless and until they collect from the consumer. If and when the agency receives monies from a consumer, the agency then gives their client a pre-determined percentage of the monies recovered. The remainder belongs to the agency.
Oftentimes, debt collection agencies buy these debts for just pennies on the dollar. The debt collector is free to seek as much money from the consumer as they can regardless of what they paid to buy the debt. This amounts to large profit margins for them.
Typically, employees of debt collection agencies are motivated with performance-based bonuses determined by the amount of money they are able to collect from a consumer.
Regardless of what specific methods a debt collection agency uses in their attempts to collect a debt, it is clear that the agency is in the business of making money first and foremost. And that money comes from you – the consumer. Hopefully, you now have a better understanding as to why collection agencies use such aggressive behavior in their interaction with consumers.
Consumers around the globe have long complained about the unfair and often unethical tactics used by debt collection agencies and thus, the FDCPA - a federal law meant for the protection of consumers. It encompasses a set of rules governing the activities of collection agencies.
Know Your Rights
The FDCPA was placed into practice in 1978, the FDCPA or the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is a federal law designed to protect the rights of the consumer from abusive and unfair debt collecting practices. The law regulates what collection agencies can or cannot do when collecting a personal debt from a consumer. It defines strict guidelines under which collection agencies must abide by when conducting business including who the collection agency may contact, where they may call, and how often or what times, In addition The Fair Credit Reporting Act, also known as the FCRA, was placed into effect in 1970. This federal law enforces and regulates the collection, distribution, and usage of consumer information. The law ensures that companies and businesses report accurate information about their consumers to Credit Bureaus which can be used for credit evaluation and certain other purposes such as employment. Consumers are violated on a daily basis without them even being aware that they have been violated or what they're rights are. Our legal team at Fredrick Schulman and Associates are fully versed in the FDCPA and FCRA and are committed to keeping debt collectors inline and holding debt collectors accountable for any violations made against you the consumers, rights.
Collection Recovery Services is not accredited with the Better Business Bureau and has received an A rating from them. There have been 13 complaints filed with the BBB against the agency in the past 3 years, 6 of them being in the past year. The majority of the complaints were related to billing and collection issues.

Like the dollar was once backed with gold before 1970s, Yuan is now.
Japanese Yen is declining fast, more trade partners of China (especially in Asia) are using Yuan as goods pricing, making it look more formidable.
Will Yuan replace dollar as globally accepted trade currency sooner than expected? (btt1943, vzc1943, mtd1943)

It will be interesting, but I am so sad for Nathalie & Fabian.
I think R/T are massively over-scored in Russian events. There is no way they are so close to I/K and B/S as national scores showed. I/K an B/S posted scores around 97(FD) this season and around 65(SD). R/T didn't scored over 60 in the SD and didn't even make it to 90 in the FD.(around 86 or 87 I believe). They usually have technical issues and almost never get the levels. All level 4 in RN was suspicious and the GOE was insane. Baring any big mistakes from I/K, R/T will not challenge I/K for the podium IMO. With Victoria and Ruslan on the other hand, considering their rapid improvement, there would be another story but I don't see R/T loosing the third place in the team any time soon. I/K beat B/S on PCS both in GPF and Russian Nationals FD. They can challenge and even beat B/S at worlds. R/T won't beat them internationally unless a meltdown happens.
though R/T were indeed overscored at nationals especially at the FD
its not like I/K and B/S have consistent levels they are are still a bit inconsistent
still R/T should be safe going to Worlds and should make the Olympics team ,S/Z wont challenge for now, they are a bit going backwards with kustarova
their only competition will be the junior talents S/B who will be seniors next season, if politics play they could send S/B as Rus No.3 , also Bukin being a son of Ice Dance Olympic Champions
Igor Shpilband has never been the coach (or co-coach) of a team that has won Europeans, AFAIR. Looking at how C&L have been skating, and with P&B out, I'm thinking, "Go Igor!!"
Keep European Gold in Michigan
Ksenia STOLBOVA / Fedor KLIMOV will be at Euro. Vera BAZAROVA / Yuri LARIONOV WD.
http://rsport.ru/figure_skating/20130118/640571724.html (Russian)
Why? No info.
how long does those boots adjustments last ????
maybe he got Yuri got an ankle injury like Julia from the boots and still not ready
good chance for K/S medaling now
Yuri LARIONOV has injury of hand (and unability for some pair elements) - said Gorshkov.
http://rsport.ru/figure_skating/20130118/640574249.html (Russian)
Somehow glad it's not something serious(and that it's not about her since I remember she had some health issues later).
This is sad news, I was looking forward to see them go against both S/S and V/T since I feel they closed the gap a bit lately.
But I can't wait to see S/K interesting programs once again, especially that SP, it's one of the best pair SP of the season and it's bad enough we probably won't be seeing them at worlds
It's a problem - if nation has more than three excellent skaners/couples, we can not see them all at ISU Championships.
I believe, it would be good - if sum of three places not higher than 10 (only one nation may have this result), national team has 4 spots.
http://www.team-russia2014.ru/article/figur/7907.html (Russian)
Larionov injuried because of fall at practice, landing on hand.
There is a chance that injury is not very serious and he will be in good state before Worlds.
I agree. Heck 4 spots will still be far from enough for the Japanese men for instance. I understand the logic between the 3 spots maximum but there is something wrong when national events are more competitive than international ISU big events( like russian nationals for pairs and Japanese men event)
I'm crossing my fingers for Yuri to get well for worlds

commandlinefu.com is the place to record those command-line gems that you return to again and again.
Delete that bloated snippets file you've been using and share your personal repository with the world. That way others can gain from your CLI wisdom and you from theirs too. All commands can be commented on, discussed and voted up or down.
If you have a new feature suggestion or find a bug, please get in touch via http://commandlinefu.uservoice.com/
You can sign-in using OpenID credentials, or register a traditional username and password.
First-time OpenID users will be automatically assigned a username which can be changed after signing in.
Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

» http://twitter.com/commandlinefu3

Use your favourite RSS aggregator to stay in touch with the latest commands. There are feeds mirroring the 3 Twitter streams as well as for virtually every other subset (users, tags, functions,…):
Subscribe to the feed for:
Shows updated status in a terminal window for connections to port '80' in a human-friendly form. Use 'watch -n1' to update every second, and 'watch -d' to highlight changes between updates.
If you wish for status updates on a port other than '80', always remember to put a space afterwards so that ":80" will not match ":8080".
you can also use cut instead of awk. less powerful but probably faster. ;)
This command kills all wine instances and each EXE application working on a PC.
Here is command info:
1) ps ax > processes = save process list to file named "processes" (we save it because we don't wont egrep to be found in the future)
2) cat processes | egrep "*.exe |*exe]" = shows the file "processes" and after greps for each *.exe and *exe] in it
3) | awk '{ print $1 }' > pstokill = saves processes PID's to file "pstokill" using awk filter
4) kill $(cat pstokill) = kills each PID in file pstokill, which is shown by cat program
5) rm processes && rm pstokill = removes temporary files
The above one liner can be used to determine what card/driver is Xorg currently using. For additional information, see http://goo.gl/mDnWu
The dates in the output are Start Date, End Date, Days Remaining in warranty, respectively. This will only work if you are running it on a dell machine. You can substitute the dmidecode command with a service tag if you are not using a dell. Also, you have to either allow your user to run sudo dmidecode with no password or run this command as root.
Will automatically take the size of the file but longer, usefull only if in an function.
Where COMMAND is the process(es) name. I prefer to get all states but you may add ESTABLISHED in the grep regex.
lsof -c apache2 | egrep -o 'TCP.*ESTABLISHED.*$'
-nP flags are optional and UDP is irrelevant for established connections
Similar but using the process id:
lsof -nP -p PID | egrep -o '(TCP|UDP).*$'
Shorter way to find the device for a given mountpoint
scrot, curl, egrep, sed, xsel, libnotify-bin must be installed.
P.S. Sorry for so long command
[Update! Thanks to a tip from ioggstream, I've fixed both of the bugs mentioned below.]
You, yes, 𝙔𝙊𝙐, can be the terror of the Internet! Why use normal, boring bullet points in your text, when you could use a ROTATED HEAVY BLACK HEART BULLET (❥)!? (Which would also be an awesome band name, by the way).
This script makes it easy to find unusual characters from the command line. You can then cut and paste them or, if you're using a GTK application, type Control+Shift+U followed by the code point number (e.g., 2765) and then a SPACE.
USAGE: Put this script in a file (I called mine "ugrep") and make it executable. Run it from the command line like so,
ugrep heart
The output will look like this,
You can, of course, use regular expressions. For example, if you are looking for the "pi" symbol, you could do this:
ugrep '\bpi\b'
REQUIREMENTS: Although this is written in Bash, it assumes you have Perl installed because it greps through the Perl Unicode character name module (/usr/lib/perl5/Unicode/CharName.pm). Note that it would not have made more sense to write this in Perl, since the CharName.pm module doesn't actually include a subroutine for looking up a character based on the description. (Weird.)
BUGS: In order to fit this script in the commandlinefu limits, a couple bugs were added. ① Astral characters beyond the BMP (basic multilingual plane) are not displayed correctly, but see below. ② Perl code from the perl module being grepped is sometimes extraneously matched.
MISFEATURES: Bash's printf cannot, given a Unicode codepoint, print the resulting character to the terminal. GNU's coreutils printf (usually "/usr/bin/printf") can do so, but it is brokenly pedantic about how many hexadecimal digits follow the escape sequence and will actually die with an error if you give the wrong number. This is especially annoying since Unicode code points are usually variable length with implied leading zeros. The CharNames.pm file represents BMP characters as 4 hexits, but astral characters as 5. In the actual version of this script that I use, I've kludged around this misfeature by zero-padding to 8 hexits like so,
/usr/bin/printf "\U$(printf "%08x" 0x$hex)"
TIP 1: The author recommends "xsel" for command line cut-and-paste. For example,
ugrep biohazard | xsel
TIP 2: In Emacs, instead of running this command in a subshell, you can type Unicode code points directly by pressing Control-Q first, but you'll likely want to change the default input from octal to hexadecimal. (setq read-quoted-char-radix 16).
TIP 3: Of course, if you're using X, and you want to type one of the more common unusual characters, it's easiest of all to do it with your Compose (aka Multi) key. For example, hitting [Compose] <3 types ♥.
Alias to produce a list of all subdir sizes in current dir, in reverse order and human readable units. du is executed only once. Remove the slash after the asterisk to include files.
Returns any file in the folder which would be rejected by Gmail, if you were to send zipped version.
(Yes, you could just zip it and knock the extension off and put it back on the other side, but for some people this just isn't a solution)
Just a few minor changes.
First the usage of lynx instead of curl so no sed is needed to revert the spaces. Then the usages of egrep instead of grep -e to save a few characters and last the removal of the extra 0.
Useful for grepping an IP range from the maillog. When for instance dealing with a spam-run from a specific IP range, or when errors occur from or to a specific IP-range.
In the example above the IP range 126.96.36.199/10 (188.8.131.52 - 22.214.171.124)
To grep the IP range 18.104.22.168/19 (184.108.40.206 - 220.127.116.11) from the maillog:
egrep '124\.217\.2(2[4-9]|[34][0-9]|5[0-5])' -J /var/log/maillog*
NOTE: the location of the maillog may vary based upon operating system and distribution.
Somtime one wants to kill process not by name of executable, but by a parameter name. In such cases killall is not suitable method.

What do you think of the
Yakima Control Tower - Set of 4
? Share a...
Here's what others have to say...
Jon Bullinger
Yakima Control Tower
Don?t neglect your factory tracks or rails any longer. Control Towers are quick and easy to install and remove. Paired with Landing Pads, these instantly make your vehicle ready to carry any gear your heart desires.
Quick Install, Strong Mounting
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Put these on my '12 Mazda 3 5-door and they are great. Quick and simple to install, not to mention they look way better than the Q Towers.
The only negative to the Control Towers is that the cross bar sits pretty high off the roof and can be pretty noisy, especially with the sunroof open. Just a note and definitely wouldn't take a star off for that because Yakima already makes a quieter, more aerodynamic system.
Thomas Briley
Yes. Buy them.
So easy to install, they look great, and the SKS locks just slide right into place.
Jason Andersen
Really easy to set up. yakima is nothing but great!
JP Rambo
I had a set on an old ford escort (my first car which I had 13 years until last year). I put these up and had them up there for about 10 of those years. Best rack system ever, easy to install, does not hurt you car and allows you to use Yakima racks the best racks ever. They are made in the USA and They have an incredible customer service department (they really work with you; USE THAT WARRANTY). Other than that I only had to adjust them 1 time in the 10 years I had them up, the do not move around at all. I question Yakima's spacing instructions and have actually found the wider the base the less movement you have, so play around with your cars dimensions and see what works for you.

Write your question here...Looking for a Yakima roof rack for a 2010 Honda CR-V. Can you tell me what my best bet is please? Also need mounts for two bikes.
Get the Control towers, Landing pads option #10 (Yakima Landing Pads work in conjunction with Control Towers), 48" Yakima crossbars, and if you choose to get a fairing (for noise reduction and aerodynamics) get the 38" version.
As far as mounting you bikes, you could get two Copperheads if you want to fork mount, or two Raptors if you want to leave the front tires on. Other bike racks you could use with your car:
Jesse Lind
Go to www.Yakima.com or www.Thule.com and get your car "fitted" for rack options. If your CR-V has factory rails already installed (not factory tracks), you can get Yakima Rail Grab towers or Thule Crossroad towers. Your options for bike racks are basically endless since you'll be going with round (Yakima) or square (Thule) bars. Your decision will be between fork-mounted bike racks, frame-grab bike racks or wheel-grab bike racks. Fork-mounted bike racks are the most stable and solid; however, you have to find somewhere to put the front wheel. The frame and wheel-grab racks are convenient in that you don't have to remove the front wheel of the bike for transport; however, they are less stable. They still work fine, though. Also, with a vehicle of your height, the fork-mounted options are easier to use because they require you to lift the bike less high than the racks that hold the bike with the front wheel still intact. Hope this helps.
Christopher Dahl

Would these fit onto my 2008 Subaru Imbreza? Or do I need to buy something besides just the Control Tower to make it fit?

Tent trailer? Are there any fixed hardpoints? You need something sturdy enough to bolt either widebody brackets or tracks to so that you can use either raingutter towers (with the widebody brackets which simulate rain gutters) or control towers which use tracks.

I have an 03 Saturn ION to which I would like to attach a tent (see: http://www.cartopcamper.com). The empty tent weighs about 110 LBS.

Bombproof Rack System
Control Tower is the best rack system I have had on any of my trucks. They make taking to rack on and off really easy. Important when gas prices are high. They are really secure, when you rotate the tab into place it pushs rods outward into the landing pad for a secure hold. Lock the tower and your off to the races! It used to take me more than a half hour to install or remove my rack. Now it takes less than five minutes. This system should get a gear award!

will these towers work on a camper shell without any racks?
Yes, just buy the appropriate landing pads and get the drill out. I put a pair on my Tacoma with a ARE shell, had no problems, no leaking... that said make sure you check your measurements out before drilling! Take your time...

It's great product and excellent service. Very fast and reliable company. Shipped as promissed A++++++++++++ Thanks. Steve

The Arkansas attorney general's office has cleared the way for supporters of new restrictions on lobbyist gifts and campaign contributions to gather signatures to qualify their measure for next year's ballot.
Attorney General Dustin McDaniel on Wednesday certified the wording of the proposed initiated act that would ban legislators and constitutional officers from accepting gifts from lobbyists. The measure would also ban corporations and unions from contributing directly to political candidates.
The proposal is backed by the group Regnat Populus, which gathered signatures last year in an attempt to get the measure on the November general election ballot. The group fell short of the 62,000 signatures of registered voters that it needed.
The proposal would also expand the period before former lawmakers can become lobbyists from one to two years.

Discover top things to see and do in this historic Massachusetts city.
Founded in 1630 by English Puritans, Boston is one of our nation's oldest cities. It was home to fiery revolutionaries such as Samuel Adams, who staged the Boston Tea Party to protest taxation by King George III. From the Old North Church in today's North End, Paul Revere began his midnight ride to warn of the British invasion. Rooted in its 400-year history, the city is also known worldwide for the brownstone architecture built in historic Back Bay during the Gilded Age. Old neighborhoods and narrow, crooked streets throughout Boston, which are more fit for walking than driving, make it the nation's most European-style city.

Price ready to return for Rays against Astros
Tampa Bay lefty sidelined since May 15 with strained triceps
Last pitching on May 15 because of a strained left triceps, David Price has been champing at the bit to make his return to the Rays starting rotation.
Now with a clean bill of health, he'll get that chance on Tuesday night as the Rays and Astros square off at Minute Maid Park.
"I'm approaching it like Opening Day," Price said. "I feel extremely good right now. I just want to continue to work hard and continue to use our trainers the way I have always and just expect better results."
Price struggled a bit in his nine starts before heading to the disabled list, giving up at least five hits in all but one of his starts.
Meanwhile, Erik Bedard will be on the hill for the Astros, ready to continue his string of success and halt Houston's four-game losing streak.
While he bounced between the rotation and bullpen during the first month of the season, Bedard is 3-1 with a 3.23 ERA in his last nine starts, including a 2-0 record with a 1.86 ERA in his past three starts.
In his previous outing against the Cardinals, Bedard (3-3, 4.44 ERA) allowed just three runs on seven hits in six innings for the win.
"He knows exactly what he needs to do. He's a professional out there," Astros catcher Jason Castro said after the win. "He's been doing this a long time. It shows. He did his job."
Rays: Longoria close to returning
Although third baseman Evan Longoria continues to deal with a nagging foot injury, he believes he's close to returning to the lineup.
Sidelined since Friday, Longoria doesn't anticipate a stint on the disabled list.
"I don't have any answers as to when I'll play, but I'm going to make a bid for them not to make any moves and then play, hopefully in the next couple of days," Longoria said Monday. "I want to play [Tuesday]. So I'll talk to Joe [Maddon] and see how that goes. A couple of lefties the next couple of days, so I really want to play."
Astros: Harrell still sore after liner off shin
After taking a line drive off his left shin in the sixth inning of Sunday's game against the Angels, starting pitcher Lucas Harrell said he was still feeling it on Monday.
"It was just pretty tender when I woke up," Harrell said. "Not getting much treatment really, but I had the trainers look at it. Right now, we're just taping it up."
The right-hander said he doesn't expect to miss his next start, something Astros manager Bo Porter echoed before Monday's game against Tampa Bay.
Worth noting
• Bedard has allowed just four earned runs in his last 19 1/3 innings pitched.
• Rays starting pitchers have worked at least six innings in 10 of their past 12 games, after failing to do so in seven straight games prior to that.

2009 Ink Report
There hasn't been much in the way of good news over the past several months and unfortunately, the inkjet ink market has not been immune to the global economic climate. Like many other industries, the market has seen a slowdown over the last year.
Ink manufacturers have seen an impact on their business, but some have already started to see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel.
According to Terry Amerine, market manager, wide-format graphics, Fujifilm Sericol USA, Inc., while the overall economic conditions have slowed growth, there is still a growing market overall. "The substitution of traditional analog printing in favor of inkjet continues and the economic environment may be increasing this due to lower overall run lengths and even tighter turn times," said Amerine.
Scott Schinlever, vice president/general manager, EFI Ink Business, concurs. "EFI's ink business fell off in Q4 of 2008, and started to recover in early 2009, and has been steadily increasing. While the economic challenges are resulting in reduced print volumes for all technologies, the underlying digital transition is offsetting much of this in the wide-/grand-format space."
But according to Hewlett Packard's senior technical specialist, Printing Technology Platforms, Dr. Ross Allen, shop owners are looking products that will help them maintain their bottom line. "In the last 12 months, the wide-format inkjet ink market has seen a growing demand for ink technologies that provide high levels of image quality, productivity and durability while allowing customers to reduce the impact of their printing on the environment."
Cost, of course, is also a huge factor, especially now. "Digital inkjet inks are our core business and we have experienced a good amount of business for the first five months of 2009. In tough economic times, people are forced to look hard at their costs and evaluate ways to reduce their expenditures to keep them performing well. Since INX Digital has a number of aftermarket brands, people are more open to considering a quality replacement product that will save them 30 to 50 percent compared to their current consumables. This kind of savings is proving to be very crucial to many businesses," said Brad Kisner, president, INX Digital International.
Richard Bowles, vice president and general manager, Nazdar concurs. "Digital printers are increasingly concerned about reducing production costs."
Deep Impact
While the global economy has probably had the most direct-and all encompassing-impact on the market as a whole, there are other trends that have also made their mark.
One of the biggest drivers has been the push for more environmentally-friendly options, when it comes to ink choices. "We believe the interest level and new regulations coming into effect for environmentally conscious solutions as being a key driver," said Mark Sawchak, textile product manager, Converd.
"As the world strives to become more 'green', the assumption is that businesses will face increasingly demanding environmental regulations, which PSPs should consider as they construct their operations," said Allen.
"The increase in resolution quality and speed are two of the biggest factors with the introduction of new technologies in the wide format market. UV curable has become a standard option available for good quality wide format printers. With the many advantages UV curable inks have to offer, smaller shops are able to compete when job requirements call for a 'green' solution. UV doesn't require a laminate or coating to maintain outdoor durability compared to a water-based process," said Kisner.
Additionally, the adoption of UV technology has helped to grow the UV side of the business.
"UV ink continues to grow. Faster curing, more flexible and durable inks are being asked for," said Jennifer Greenquist, business development manager for inks, 3M.
"The continued adoption of mid-range to high-end UV digital inkjet flatbed printers, as well as the growth of UV roll-to-roll printers have made an impact on the market. Both trends are driving appreciably more volume, and have significant potential for continued growth into the future," said Schinlever.
Technological Developments Help to Fuel Growth
But what technological developments will help continue the growth experts have alluded to? There are varied answers covering everything from the advances in inkjet equipment to printhead developments and ink delivery systems. But unfortunately, right now much of the growth will be curtailed due to the current economic conditions and the credit crunch.
"Higher speed UV printers (both flatbed and roll-to-roll) are driving higher print volumes, especially as digital is used for more mid-to-long run lengths vs. just short-run as in the past,"said Schinlever. "In addition, higher print quality in the grand-format space allows print providers to address more high-quality application spaces—many of which were reserved for low-speed wide-format printing or photo technology in the past. Both of these developments drive higher ink usage."
INX Digital's Kisner agrees. "The higher speed devices are grabbing people's attention. That's normal and was bound to happen. The same is true for products that are environmentally friendly. There was an initial push and I expect more companies will make it a greater priority in the next year. Our consumables sales have done very well and I see continued market share growth in this area for INX Digital."
Sawchak continues, addressing the environmental-aspect. "The development of ink systems such as our Nano inks from Yuhan-Kimberly and eco-friendly paper-based substrates are helping to address the need in the market for solutions that enable printers to provide customers with advertising medium that address their requirements for having a low impact on the environment."
Steve Urmano, marketing director, Mimaki USA, also credits LEDs as the potential source of growth. "Certainly low energy curing using LEDs have shown a lot of promise while unit sales are just ramping up."
Future Predictions
Opinions are mixed about the future growth. A lot depends upon the predicted economic turnaround and when that does begin to occur.
"Given the world economic situation and the crisis that hit the financial world, the wide-format market remains vulnerable to the availability of good finance options, especially to smaller print operations. Many of these printers have had a difficult time getting loans to purchase equipment that is typically in the $30,000 to $120,000 range. Printers must keep costs low in times like this but run the risk of sacrificing quality," said Kisner.
"We see single digit growth in 2009 and early 2010. We expect to see a return to double-digit growth in the latter part of 2010 and 2011—if the experts are right about the recovery of the economy," said Amerine.
EFI's Schinlever's foresees strong growth, "especially starting in the 2nd half as key new technology introductions start shipping in volume."
"We see the greatest growth opportunity for wide-format inks in products that have the ability to increase productivity while reducing the impact of printing on the environment. UV-curable inks are an example of a technology that will continue to see growth, since they produce dry, ready-to-use prints, print on a wide variety of substrates, and emit low levels of VOCs. UV-curable inks accelerate overall efficiency and productivity and allow PSPs to deliver high-quality applications with the quick turnaround time their customers demand," said Allen.
Randy Anderson, program manager for software, media and color, Mutoh points to specific applications, such as vehicle wraps and textile printing, as growth areas moving forward.
Hiro Futsukaichi, director of marketing, Mutoh, continues along the same thought. "Sign graphics will still grow once the economy comes back. Eco-solvent ink will replace water base inks as people began to recognize the advantage of outdoor durability and low running cost. Meanwhile, ink for textile market would have greatest growth opportunity in terms of growth rate," said Futsukaichi.
But the economy as a whole will be the biggest factor facing the market going forward-that and the availability of credit. "The toughest issue facing everyone is the depressed demand for printed products due to the current economic downturn. We are seeing signs that the next year could represent an upturn in demand," said Nazdar's Bowles.
"The biggest issues facing the wide-/grand-format digital inkjet ink market will be the general economy and condition of credit markets, especially in terms of financing being available for print providers to invest in new digital technology," said Schinlever.
"The greatest issue facing the market is the ability to deliver the versatility that PSPs need to meet their customers' demands. PSPs are looking for ink technologies that address a broad range of applications, and manufacturers such as HP strive to meet current demands and to be leaders in developing markets through their R&D investments. With inkjet, there is no one-size-fits-all technology. Each ink offers its own value propositions to meet the needs of different customers, production environments, and applications," said Allen.?
