D-backs ride hot streak into San Diego
Padres' Stults looks to derail NL West rivals in opener
The D-backs are on a tear offensively as they enter the final week of the season, while the Padres have seen their bats go cold.
Arizona, which opens a four-game series in San Diego on Monday, is hitting .332 with 32 doubles, 11 home runs and 70 runs scored in its last 11 games.
The Padres, meanwhile, have not scored in their last 21 innings and have totaled three runs over their last four games.
The D-backs were eliminated from postseason contention by the Dodgers on Thursday, but manager Kirk Gibson said they can still use their final seven games to get better.
"I think it's that time of the year where people kind of start to reflect and think ahead to what they can do to make themselves better and be more consistent," said Gibson, whose club is unbeaten in its last three series.
San Diego, which has won 12 of its last 19 games, will look to get its offense back on track Monday against Arizona starter Brandon McCarthy.
McCarthy has given the Padres trouble in two starts this season, winning twice while allowing one earned run in 14 innings. The right-hander has rebounded from a five-game losing skid to win three of his last four decisions. He's posted a 2.50 ERA over his last five starts.
Eric Stults will take the mound for the Padres, looking for his 10th win of the season. He's 1-6 with a 5.26 ERA in his last 11 starts, but has pitched better of late. The left-hander has allowed two earned runs in each of his past two outings and has issued just one walk over his last four starts combined.
D-backs: Owings gets look at second base
Rookie Chris Owings played second base on Saturday for the first time in the Majors. He's primarily played shortstop and was back at that position on Sunday.
Still, Gibson said he liked what he saw from Owings, the organization's No. 3 prospect, on the other side of the infield.
"Knowing where to align himself is probably the biggest thing," Gibson said. "But as far as his hands and everything, you can tell on his throws it's definitely a different throw. But he did well. He's all ears. He wants to be good there as well."
Padres: Alonso likely done hitting
Yonder Alonso has not played since Aug. 30, the result of soreness in his right hand, and the first baseman likely would only appear in a game as a defensive replacement for the rest of the season.
"The hitting component for Yonder this week is out," manager Bud Black said. "But we hope at some point this week that he can play [defense]."
But Alonso, who received a cortisone shot in his hand on Saturday, was not quite ready to concede.
"I want to play, if not ... I wouldn't be doing all of this stuff," said Alonso, who fractured a bone in his hand in late May. "But I've got to understand it's a process."
Worth noting
• D-backs outfielder A.J. Pollock has reached base via a hit or a walk in 18 of his past 23 games since Aug. 25.
• Padres rookie second baseman Jedd Gyorko has not committed an error in 29 consecutive games and has only four errors in 118 games this season.

Minimalista Console Table
by Blu Dot
At A Glance:
Minimalist furniture lovers: this is your Citizen Kane, your Grapes of Wrath, your Starry Night, your Walking Through the Woods on a Snowy Evening. The Minimalista is the essence of "table" - no more, no less. This pared down console table is offered in walnut, graphite-on-oak, or honed stone with stainless steel gently supporting your choice of top.
What's To Like:
What will you ever do with all that free space? You know, the space created by the Minimalista Console Table's tantalizingly thin silhouette and line-drawing base? It's a visual treat, and will allow complete focus to be placed on whatever it is you want to draw attention to in the room (or even under this space-breathing console table).
What's Not to Like:
We haven't tried it ourselves, but we'd hazard a guess that if your Uncle Joe (you know, the ex-football player) were to lean on one corner of the console, the frame probably wouldn't like that kind of heavy sideways pressure. Just guessing. The top is plenty sturdy for downward pressure, though, with a central steel support brace underneath.
The Bottom Line:
As minimalist furniture goes, the Minimalista Console Table lives up to its name. It's well-made and leaves plenty of room for your life to fill in the blanks around it.
- Overall dimensions: 29" h x 52" w x 15.5"
- Central brace underneath top for stability and strength
- Choose from honed stone or wood veneer over MDF for the top
- Stainless steel base
Materials & Measurements
Materials:Graphite on honed stone, maple, or graphite-on-oak.
Overall: 29" h x 52" w x 15.5"

Vents work very well i dont feel the air on the top of my head but i have not broken a sweat. I guess the new aribooster works. As usual the best service from Jafrum. Nolan and Jafrum is a winning combination.

I read days ago that Dane DeHaan, the bad guy from Chronicle, was also up for the role. He'd be my top choice based solely on Chronicle and Lawless where he was great as Cricket.
I really don't know any of these guys so it doesn't matter. Basically it's the studio making a big deal out of a bunch of unknowns.
An actual redhead playing MJ? How did I miss that news!
As for Osborne, dude in the upper right. Looks like an a-hole.
Of the 4 pictures shown, I'd choose either of the top 2, based on looks. The guy in the bottom right pic looks like Justin Beiber and Leonardo DiCaprio had a child. Of course it only matters that they pick the one that can act the best.
That being said, the last film sucked. Not in a huge way, it was just extremely average with a wasted chance at a really great villain. I hope the sequel is better....or worse if it would put Spiderman back on the road to Marvel.
FrozenFear: Agreed.
And the guy on the bottom left looks like Justin Proctor
I'm not up to date with the incredible amazing ultimate Spiderman NOW. Way back when, Harry was a decent guy. He was Peter's best pal before the death of Gwen at the hands of Harry Osborne Green Goblin. Papa's death sent him over the mental cliff.
I've never seen any of these guys in my life either. Harry was always a skinny geeky guy in the comics, so I would go with the dude in the lower left.
By all those headshots, they each look like they belong in Twilight.
Sam Claflin is also set to play Finnick in the next Hunger Games movies so he's probally not going to do Spiderman as well I think I'd go with the guy in the bottom right who I guess is Boyd Holbrook

Alaska Airlines Cup - General Information
The Alaska Airlines Cup is the largest youth soccer tournament in Alaska. It is an international youth soccer tournament, with over 2,000 players in age divisions from U10-U23. The tournament invites teams from all over the state of Alaska, Canada, and the U.S. to kick off the summer soccer season. We hope you will include the Alaska Airlines Cup, in the beautiful city of Anchorage, Alaska, in your summer soccer plans!
Formally known as the Ina K Memorial Cup, the "Ina K" was named in memoriam of Ina Kristiansen, a beloved Alaskan soccer player, who passed away in the early 90's. After almost 20 years of holding the tournament in memory of their daughter, Ina's parents have asked that the tournament be renamed, but that the spirit of their daughter's love and passion for soccer continue to be honored through the Ina K Medals. These medals are awarded at the conclusion of the tournament to one player on each team who exemplifies the spirit with which Ina played the game. The Alaska Rush is excited to partner with Alaska Airlines as the title sponsor of this tournament and would like to thank Alaska Airlines for their generous support of Alaska youth soccer.

Paul Menard Earns Eighth-Place Finish at Auto Club Speedway
Paul Menard brought home a ninth-place finish at Auto Club Speedway after recovering from a mid-race flat tire to score his third-consecutive top-10 finish of the season. The CertainTeed/Menards Chevrolet SS driver took the green flag from the 27th position and climbed inside the top-20 by lap 3. The caution flew on lap 90 for debris and Menard brought his No. 27 machine to the attention of his crew for four fresh tires, fuel and a chassis adjustment. Shortly after restarting 12th, Menard reported he had a flat tire. The crew went to work changing four tires under the green flag and the Eau Claire, Wis., native returned to the track in 27th, one lap down. The caution-flag flew on lap 117 giving Menard the opportunity to take the wave around. Back on the lead lap, in the 27th spot, Menard needed a caution for tires and on lap 130, the yellow flag flew giving him that opportunity. As the race wore on, Menard and the crew continued to improve with each lap. As the laps wound down, Menard found himself inside the top-10 fighting for every spot he could get, ultimately taking the checkered flag in the eighth position. Menard's top-10 finish moves him to eighth in the championship points standings heading into the Easter off-weekend,.
Start – 27 Finish – 8 Laps Led – 0 Points - 8
"We had a good car all day, but just had bad luck with a flat tire mid-race. Slugger Labbe (crew chief) and the CertainTeed/Menards crew never gave up and we battled back to end the day with a ninth-place finish. We've had a great start to the 2013 season and we're looking forward to heading to Martinsville Speedway in two weeks to continue our streak of top-10 finishes."
"This was not the result our team should have left with today. The Jimmy John's Chevrolet was really fast all day, we just lost grip and track position at the end. We'll enjoy a weekend off, then regroup and hope for a better result when we go to Martinsville Speedway in two weeks."
"The No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet team battled a tight condition all day except for one segment of the race. We fought hard all day and salvaged a top-20 finish. I'm proud of this team for never giving up."

Ultimate Ears MetroFi 200 Noise Isolating Earphones
" Ultimate ears metro.fi range are often overlooked on these forums. There is a simple reason for this, they are not worth the price they quite often retail at.

" These were my first IEMs, so obviously at first I thought that these were the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. But after awhile... Bass is clear and punchy.

"I wonder why UERM is often disregarded when picking from $1000 range. I'm guessing that it's due to "only" having 3 drivers, versus having 8 drivers per side.

Gorgeous. Slimming. Simply Cute.
This top is 'everything' and I would take it in every shade possible. I love there is a snap button to keep it from moving as most tie wrap shirts do. The feel is amazing, it is soft and movable and flows nicely with anything.

great top, great price!
This top is lovely. It is easy care, and falls nicely. I am a 49 year old woman, with an ample bust, and this top was very flattering. I wore it exactly as shown here- with black skinny pants. I also got this item on sale, so it was even better! I would highly recommend this top.
July 31, 2013
Love this top!
Great and fun top! I bought this one and tried the solid color in the store - I wasn't crazy about the look of the solid top, but this black and white stripe is so chic! Pairs great with colored buttons!
June 4, 2013
I love this top! It is so light, great for the summer. I ordered a medium and it fits well. I'm a little bigger around the hips so it's a bit snug in that area for me; but that's my fault not the top's!
June 4, 2013
Great Summer Top
Let me start off by saying the top looks "odd" on this model. The top is much more slimming and not boxy, at all. This was such a great top that I went back today and purchased one in a coral color today. Beautiful! I wear an XS in tops, and the XS fit perfect. I have a 34DDD chest, and it still fit to a tee.

The Cooking Center
Today it is typical to have several cooking appliances. The recommendations for this center have been arranged according to the type of cooking and are excerpted from the book "Kitchen Planning," part of the NKBA Professional Resource Library.
Surface Cooking
Because of the interaction between the surface cooking appliance and food preparation tasks, this area is often considered the primary cooking center. It should be located with consideration to the other centers, particularly the sink center. Cooks will move most frequently between the sink and the cooktop, and there should be a clear uninterrupted path between these two areas. This means that the cooking surface will often be placed beside, or across from, the sink.
Safety is a major concern at the cooking surface because there is danger of scalds, burns and fire. Several recommendations have been developed to keep this a safe area.
Consider the location and design of appliance controls. Controls placed at the back of the appliance may mean that the cook must reach over hot and steaming pots to adjust cooking temperatures, and should be avoided when possible. Controls placed at the front edge of the range provide easy access to seated cooks, but might tempt small children to manipulate them, if they are easily manipulated. Controls on the top of the appliance and/or to the side, improve access to most users.
Designers and clients are responsible for selecting products that consider the safety needs of all users.
If the sink is on an island, there may be a desire to place the cooktop beneath the window, the traditional sink placement area. If this is done, the window should not be operable. Trying to open a window by reaching over hot pots is not safe and drafts from the window can affect cooking performance and safety. Fixed windows or a glass block area might be a solution, but consider how hard this area will be to clean.
Landing Area
There should be a landing area on both sides of a cooking surface. Not only does the landing area allow for a place to put spoons, pot lids and ingredients to be added, it also provides a space to turn pot handles so that they are not hit by passing traffic. Unless the countertop is a heat resistant material, the landing area is not a place to put hot pots, unless it is an emergency.
There should be a minimum of 15 inches of counter frontage on one side of the range and 12 inches on the other. If there are various counter heights at the range, the 12- and 15-inch landing areas should be the same height as the cooking surface.
If the cooking surface is on an island or a peninsula that is the same height as the cooking surface, then there should also be 9 inches of counter space behind the cooking surface to prevent handles being hit and hot spatters getting onto people standing or sitting behind the cooking surface.
Occasionally, in a small kitchen, a cooking surface will be placed next to a wall or tall obstacle. This should only be done if it is in accordance with manufacturer's instructions for clearances. This closed configuration will not provide an adequate landing area on one side of the cooking center and can restrict the size of pots that will fit on the cooking surface. If no other configuration can be used, then fire retardant and easy-to-clean wall materials will be necessary.
Ventilation and Clearances
A ventilation system is required for surface cooking. There are several different types of systems available. It is important to match the ventilation system with the features of the surface cooking appliance. Besides planning the size and style of ventilation, plan the placement of the ventilation system. Different cooking and ventilation appliance systems may have different requirements and manufacturer's specifications should always be followed.
A typical arrangement calls for placing the range hood over the cooking surface. Ideally, the hood should extend at least 3 inches beyond the cooking surface on both sides. A range hood is made of non-flammable materials and is fireproof. It should be placed at least 24 inches above the cooking surface. For a typical application, this would place the bottom of the hood at 60 inches.
The eye height for a small woman is about 53 inches and for a tall man it is 69 inches. Consider the client's eye height and overall height when planning the hood placement, so that it does not interfere with the user's view and access to the cooking surface. If a microwave with built-in ventilation is placed above the range, follow manufacturer's instructions for correct clearance.
A proximity ventilation system is located either as part of the cooking appliance or within the counter next to, or behind, the cooking appliance. This type of system allows for a clear open space above the cooking appliance and might be used on an island or peninsula. Check cooktop and ventilation system manufacturer's specifications for placement and to determine counter depth. A telescoping system placed behind the cooktop may affect the specifications of base cabinets in this area. A cabinet or other flammable object placed above the cooking surface with proximity ventilation should be at least 30 inches above the cooking surface, while a protected or fireproof surface can be at 24 inches.
Microwave Cooking
People use the microwave for a variety of cooking tasks, which can determine where the microwave should be placed in the kitchen. It might be suitable to place the microwave next to the refrigerator if it will primarily be used to defrost food and reheat leftovers. It could also be placed within a preparation area that is between the sink and refrigerator. This would be convenient for defrosting, reheating and some food preparation tasks.
Other locations are more suitable for a microwave, microwave/ convection combination or speed cooking appliance used for major cooking tasks. In this case, the microwave should be part of the primary cooking center. Placing the microwave in a preparation area that is between the sink and surface cooking appliance might be suitable for creating a primary cooking center with food preparation activities.
A microwave combined with a ventilation system is sometimes placed over a cooking surface, placing both appliances at the anchor point of the primary cooking center. This can be efficient in a small kitchen, since the microwave is not taking up counter space or cabinet storage. However, the microwave will not be at a height that is safe and convenient for some users, and the ventilation system may not be adequate. There is one range designed with the microwave in a drawer above the range oven. This locates the microwave in the primary cooking center, but at a safer height.
A microwave may be located with the wall oven in a cabinet, creating a secondary cooking center and in this case, the cook's height should be carefully considered. This might be appropriate if the microwave is used in ways similar to the oven. If the microwave cooking process will require frequent checking by the cook, the appliance should not be located outside of the cook's work area.
If the microwave is used for preparing snacks and is not part of the regular food preparation or cooking activities, it might be placed outside of the cook's work area and convenient to users who prepare snacks.
Placement Height
Research has indicated the best body mechanics for using the microwave is for the bottom of the microwave oven to be placed no lower than 2 inches below a primary user's elbow and no higher than 3 inches below the primary user's shoulder height. This will allow the user to see into the microwave to observe food cooking, to see the controls (which often require a visual confirmation of settings) and it will provide for appropriate leverage when taking hot food out of the oven. The NKBA recommends that the bottom of the microwave be placed no higher than 3 inches below the user's shoulder height.
As a general interpretation of this recommendation, the NKBA guideline states that the bottom of the microwave should be placed no more than 54 inches off the floor. This will allow a microwave to be placed on the bottom shelf of a wall cabinet.
However, this is not a good location if the user's shoulder height is below 57 inches or if the user has any problem with upper body strength.
If placing the microwave over the cooking surface, follow the manufacturer's instructions for clearances. Keep in mind that 24 inches between the cooking surface and a protected surface is recommended by the NKBA, putting the bottom of the microwave at 60 inches, which is 6 inches above the maximum shoulder height recommendation.
However, more important than either of these recommended distances are the safety concerns of this application. Reaching over hot and steaming food on the cooktop can be dangerous for anyone, but especially if someone cannot see what they are getting. Also, there is not a convenient counter space below the microwave to place a hot food item.
Sometimes a microwave is placed below a raised or even a standard height counter. This might be appropriate for children or people working from a seated position, again improving access but requiring added attention to safety for toddlers.
However, this application may require others to stoop and bend to read controls and to take food out of the oven. The NKBA allows for this type of installation, but the bottom of the oven should not be below 15 inches off the floor.
Who the users of the microwave are and how they use the microwave will really determine the appropriate placement of the appliance. Make sure you understand the clients' functional requirements (shoulder height, upper body strength, eye height) and their use of the microwave (preparing snacks, cooking casseroles, prepping ingredients) when you plan the placement of the microwave. An arrangement that works for a family with teenage boys might not work for an older couple with physical limitations or a young family with toddlers.
Landing Area
Wherever the microwave is placed, a 15-inch landing area should be provided above, below or adjacent to the microwave oven. Most microwaves have handles on the right and, ideally, the landing area should be on that side, but it is not always possible to do that. If a landing area is located across from the microwave, it should be within 48 inches of the front of the appliance. Remember all landing areas are between 28 and 45 inches above the finished floor, so evaluate where the landing area will be when a microwave is placed in a 48-inch high cabinet.
Oven Cooking
Oven cooking is a somewhat passive cooking activity, meaning the food is generally prepared in a preparation area and then placed in the oven. Often a timer is set and the cook might come back when the timer goes off. Of course, some foods and cooking techniques, such as broiling, should be more closely watched and the cook will return to check on progress. With a range, the oven will be in the primary cooking center and easy for the cook to observe. It is often the client's preference and the only choice for a small kitchen. Some separate ovens are also placed beneath the surface cooking appliance, in the same location as the range oven or below a counter. These applications place the bottom of the oven at an inconvenient height for many people, making bending and lifting difficult.
A separate oven can be placed outside of the primary cooking center, because the cook is not constantly going to the appliance. This might be at one end of the work area or on a separate wall. Be sure to evaluate traffic in this secondary area, to avoid creating a hazardous situation. The oven door should not open into a traffic path.
A separate oven can be placed at a height that is more convenient to the user. A single oven placed with the bottom of the oven at 30 to 36 inches above the floor allows food to be transferred between the oven and a counter at a similar height.
Double ovens typically will have the lower oven at a similar height to a range oven. Today, we are seeing two separate ovens designed at comfortable heights, when space allows. The result is that both ovens can be at a height that places controls no higher than 48 inches and yet high enough to reduce bending.
Landing Area
The landing area for an oven is 15 inches and can be placed on either side of the oven. This can coincide with the landing area required for a cooking surface if a range or oven beneath a cooking surface is used. The landing area can be located across from the oven as long as it is within 48 inches of the front.
