Punked out on my Wednesday workout. I think my body is now asking for a deload.
Squats: 5x5 @ 147.5 kg (325 lbs)
Bench: 2x3 @97.5 kg (215 lbs)
Dips: 2x Bodyweight to failure
NG Chin ups: 2x Bodyweight to failure
The bench presses were meant to be 5x5 and followed with 5x5 Pendlay Rows. I was just nowhere on the lift. Last Friday, 95 kg went up cleanly and fluidly. Wednesday was just torture. I've successfully 5RM'ed 100 kgs before, so a performance like that just shouldn't have happened.
Got a work function tonight. I'm going to do a couple of change up workouts focused on bodyweight exercises over the Xmas break and hit the gym strong in the new year.
LOL, yeah sure will be some benefit, any exercise is better than none......Even Crossfit !
Just remember though that the Glutes are the largest muscle in the human body and immensely strong. To stress them enough to change requires heavy weights and hard work.
Watch this video especially from the 1 minute mark.

Soft plush pile "Velvet Curtains" have a natural luster with a depth of color that creates a formal, polished look. Made of high-quality, poly velvet and soft flowing polyester blackout thermal lining. The curtains keep the light out and provides for optimal insulation.. As a general rule, for proper fullness panels should measure 2-3 times the width of your window/opening.
Starting Price: $149.00
sbinmn from Minneapolis, MN
We ordered 2 of the Java Velvet Blackout Extra Wide Curtain Panel to put across a wall of windows and a door so that we could block out light completely when watching TV. The java color is a rich,deep chocolate brown. The curtain panels are a very soft velvety material, are thick, have a white backing, and truly do block out the light. While they are heavy which makes them a little difficult to slide along the curtain rod (we used the Barricade brand which wraps around so that the light is blocked from the sides as well), these curtain panels are not only blocking the light, but are insulating from the cold in our MN winter! They do have quite a bit of wrinkles right out of the bags, they are slowly going away since they have been hung. We purchased the 96-inch panels and the length was spot-on. We hung our panels almost to the top of the wall to give our room a movie theater effect which makes the room quite cozy. One thing that was not mentioned is that each panel front is actually 2 panels sewn together-you can see the actual seam. While this is not a deal breaker-it would have been nice to know this before deciding to order.

The curtain is very old fashioned looking and extremely heavy. You have to use a very secure bracket and/or rod to hang it or it will weigh the rod down, tearing the brakets right out of the wall, just as mine did when I was attempting to see what it would look like. It is also a dust magnet and I imagine dog/cat hair collector and will have to be vacuumed every day so it doesn't turn into a panel of dust. If you're looking for thermal and/or room darkening, this will be perfect for you.
jamiwh from Seattle, WA
These curtains were shipped quickly, we received them within 3 days. They are exactly how they are described. Exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a material heavy enough to keep the cold out but I wanted a soft look. I got that with these curtains. I hung them that day and they didn't need to be pressed/ironed. They look great in our room and I'm looking forward to buying more to cover our other windows (as we can afford). Very pleased with my purchase from halfpricedrapes.com
tgkgeg636567 from sacramento CA
These drapes are beautiful! They are expertly made, the fabric is heavy and soft, and the color is rich. Can't say enough good about them.
dml1062 from Savannah GA
Love these curtains. Very heavy weight and wonderful soft flow. Not stiff like some can be. Very lush looking. At first thought they were not as good as I had hoped in the box. But when you put them on the window, wow what a difference. The light reflects off the velvety sheen and looks amazing. They pool nicely as well. Love them.
cdbezdicek from Arizona
I purchased 3 of these black out panels and they are absolutely beautiful. They have totally changed the look of my living room. My living room has gone from too bright and a continuous reflection on the TV to a dark room perfect for watching movies. The look rich and are very heavy. I am very happy with my purchase.
tvo3 from Dallas, TX
Love the extra wide width. Well made and good quality for the price. Excellent black out liner.
tidbit53 from San Francisco, CA
These drapes are so soft and luxurious! It feels like having a theater curtain in my home. They have a nice weight to them, so they hang and flow well. It seems silly to be excited about curtains, but I'd looked around for panels this large to cover my large window, and they typically sell for at least 3-4 times the price. half price drapes shipped them so quickly; I couldn't believe it that they had arrived the day after I placed the order!
deeboose from Austin, TX
Beautiful curtains and an amazing bang for the buck! Highly recommended!
ann3939 from Malibu, CA
Excellent product. Heavy luxurious draperies. Covered my double french doors protecting the room from the Western sun. The room was noticeably warmer in the morning when drapes were closed at night. The color is as shown and very dark. Feels like you are in a movie theater when drapes are closed.
amandauk from Chicago
Instead of having a storm door fitted at the last moment before winter, we decided to put curtains with a wooden valence over the front door. These look like you are in the cinema! They do not look out of place, they hold the draught in with the weighted corners at the bottom, and the hall is incredibly warm now. They are truly worth the cost, I bought the extra width so they look even more splendid, the color is perfect as I have wood everywhere, and they are so soft and very well made. I am going to buy some for our basement. They will last forever! If you want velvet don't buy those cheaper nylon type ones, get these they are worth the money.
tommountainman from Grand Lake, Colorado
These curtains are a 10. In addition, they are a great deal. The fabric is very good.
4qualitybuying from Kentucky
When I purchased the extra wide curtains for my door I had also purchased 50" ones for the windows which came with the belt loop hanging option (but just to be clear on the packaging it stated that the hanging option for these curtains both the extra wide 100" and 50" curtains had pole pocket and hook belt option I just thought that meant the belt loop which I later found out what the difference was). At the time I assumed that was called hook belt which would be an option for the extra wide curtain but it did not have the belt loop option. I liked how the belt loop looked so I did return these and purchased 4 of the 50" wide curtains so I could hang them with the belt loop. These curtains are still nice and looked good but they just did not work for the look that I wanted. big learning lesson for me in the lingo of curtain hanging.
jackjack123 from Texas
I loved the curtains. They are very heavy so you need a heavy duty rod.
coolmom111 from KY
Beautiful heavy drapes to hang in my new bedroom. Helps block out light for days that sleeping late is an option!

Finding the perfect fit for any size window always start by taking accurate measurements. Follow our step-by-step instructions for measuring your windows by clicking the links below. Have questions? Call our expert Design Consultants at 1.866.413.7273 for assistance.
HPD offers a full range of Top-Header Designs.
Our "Ready Made" items (panels that are in stock ready to ship) are offered in the Pole Pocket Header (Most can be hung on rings), Grommet Header, Ruched Header or Pole Pocket with Back Tab Header. Please see each product page for available header options.
Our "Custom" & "CUSTOM SIZE" items (panels that are made to order) you are able to choose your header design. Choose from French Pleat, Goblet Pleat, Parisian Pleat, Inverted Pleat, Pole Pocket, Grommet or Ruched. Not all header styles are available on all of our products. Please see each product page for available header options.
Roman Shades
You are selecting the Finished Width of each panel you would like to order. We recommend mounting your hardware at least 2-3 inches further out on each side of your opening. We recommend going even wider if you have the room. It will made the window look bigger and more dramatic.
Design Notes:
When specifying Pole Pocket Style take the width of the area you would like to cover, add 2-4 inches to each side. You will order 2 panels at that measurement. Note that a finished width of 46"-50" is 1 width of material and is 46"-50" wide when drawn flat, we recommend 200% fullness, i.e. a 50" panel will cover 25" - 30" of window and still retain soft folds when drawn shut. When a width greater than 46"-50" is requested there will be a seam where the fabric is joined to make the panel.
When specifying any of our pleat styles, French, Goblet, Parisian or Inverted take the width of the area you would like to cover, add 2-4 inches to each side and divide by 2. You will order 2 panels at that measurement. Note that a finished width of 50" is 100" (2 widths of material) pleated down to a finished width of 50". When a width greater than 25" is requested there will be a seam where the fabric is joined to make the panel.
When specifying Grommet take the width of the area you would like to cover, add 2-4 inches to each side. You will order 2 panels at that measurement. Note that a finished width of 50" is 1 width of material that's 50" wide when flat, we recommend 200% fullness, i.e.: a 50" panel will cover 25" - 30" of window and still retain soft fold when drawn shut. When a width greater than 50" is requested there will be a seam where the fabric is joined to make the panel.
You are selecting the Finished Length of each panel you would like to order. We recommend mounting your hardware at least 4-5 inches above your opening or higher if you can. Placing your rod higher will make the space look taller and more dramatic.
For CUSTOM SIZE Pole Pocket drapery panels the length you order includes the 3" pocket. Keep in mind the hardware type you will be using and where it will be mounted. If using the pocket you will measure from the top of the rod down to the floor. You will want to add in the diameter of the rod you are using to account for take up (when the fabric is ruched onto the rod the fabric will gather and "shrink" the length some). If you like your drapes a little longer you can add 1-4" called a "break" or "trouser break", add 5-8" for a more puddled look onto the floor or you can add 10"+ to achieve the over the top luxurious cloud effect onto the floor. *** Note: A Break or Puddle is not recommended for drapery that will be opened and closed regularly.
For CUSTOM SIZE French, Goblet, Parisian or Inverted pleat styles keep in mind the hardware type you will be using and where it will be mounted. If using a decorative pole and rings you will measure from the bottom of the ring to the floor. That measurement will be your finished length. If using a track system measure from the bottom of the track down to the floor. This will be your finished length. If you like your drapes a little longer you can add 1-4" called a "break" or "trouser break", add 5-8" for a more puddled look onto the floor or you can add 10"+ to achieve the over the top luxurious cloud effect onto the floor. *** Note: A Break or Puddle is not recommended for drapery that will be opened and closed regularly.
You are selecting added features of the drapery.
Lined:Panels will be made using the face fabric and then lined in a cotton fabric.
Lined & Interlined:Panels will be made using the face fabric, lined with a cotton fabric with a flannel lining in between. This will provide optimal insulation and some room darkening qualities. If using silk we always recommend using this option as it helps protect the silk and give the panels great body.
Blackout Lining:Panels will be made using the face fabric and then lined with a blackout fabric. This option is great for a bedroom or media room. Note that using blackout lining will give the drapery a stiffer hand. Using blackout lining is not recommended if you want a puddled look.

Banana Ice Cream Puffs Recipe
These tender golden puffs are filled with rich banana ice cream and drizzled with hot fudge-making them pretty enough to draw a sleighful of compliments!
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) cook-and-serve banana cream pudding mix
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 5 cups 2% milk
- 4 eggs, lightly beaten
- 4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1-3/4 cups mashed ripe banana (about 4 medium)
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup butter
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 8 eggs
- Hot fudge or chocolate ice cream topping

- 1. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, pudding mix, flour and salt; gradually stir in milk until smooth. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat.
- 2. Stir a small amount of hot filling into eggs. Return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Press plastic wrap onto the surface of pudding mixture. Refrigerate until chilled, about 4 hours.

- 4. In a large saucepan, bring the water, butter, sugar and salt to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir until smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Add eggs, two at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and shiny.
- 5. Drop by 2 rounded tablespoonfuls 3 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks. Immediately split puffs open; remove tops and set aside. Discard soft dough from inside. Cool puffs.
- 6. To serve, spoon banana ice cream into cream puffs; replace tops. Drizzle with hot fudge topping and sprinkle with nuts. Yield: About 2 dozen puffs and 3 quarts ice cream.

So, the first series of any playoff season is supposed to be the easiest!
Statisticians will often compare first-round pairings and based on what happened in the regular season will come up with some formula for success for the team ranked higher in the standings.
Those results obviously weren't shared with the Prince Albert Mintos and Tisdale Trojans as the No. 3 seeded Mintos had to dig incredibly deep to eliminate the No. 6 seeded Trojans.
In fact, they had to climb from the deepest of chasms to finally win the best-of-five Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League quarter-final series with a 5-4 decision in the deciding match on Sunday at the Art Hauser Centre.
"I have to give the guys a lot of credit," said a relieved Ken Morrison, the Mintos' head coach moments after the win on Sunday. "To get down 2-0 in games and down 3-0 in the first period in the third game they found a way to come back."
"We eventually got a bit of momentum and went with it," added Morrison.
The Minto coach said the turning point in the series was the second period of the third game when his troops scored three times to get back on even terms and eventually win that contest early in overtime.
The next night they drew even in the series when Ryan Duret (not Jared Blaquiere as previously reported) tallied in double overtime and on Sunday the Mintos had to persevere through a string of penalties to eventually hold off the Trojans, who just never gave up until the final buzzer sounded.
"When games are this tight it is anybody's game," explained Morrison. "You knew they just weren't going to hand it to us."
Tisdale opened the scoring on Sunday when Cole McBride notched his fourth of the series, but Prince Albert rallied with goals by Kody White, Josh Roberts and Lance Yaremchuk before the first period was finished.
Wyatt Hinson scored the only goal of the middle frame to bring Tisdale back to within one and when Yaremchuk, with his fifth of the series, and Teal Sobkowicz scored to make the score 5-2 it appeared that the Trojans' bubble had finally burst.
With 6:57 left, Prince Albert was given their eighth minor penalty and Tisdale coach Darrell Mann opted to pull goaltender Brandon Holtby in an unorthodox move for an extra attacker giving the Trojans two extra bodies for the ensuing power-play.
The move paid off rather handsomely as Brennan Riddle scored just seven seconds into the man-advantage situation bringing Tisdale to within two.
Then, with less than a minute remaining Tanner Nagle scored to close the gap to one, but Minto goaltender Connor Ingram shut the door for the rest of the game.
Ingram, the reigning Midget AAA goaltender of the year, said this is an exciting time and that he is fortunate to be a part of what is going on.
"This is fun," said Ingram, who was still beaming after the epic comeback was completed. "It's exciting to get a chance to play."
"It's so easy to play here," added Ingram, who came on in relief of Lane Michasiw midway through the first game and never relinquished the starting role. "I have great billets and great coaches. It's so easy playing when you have nothing to worry about."
The Mintos will now move on to the league semifinals where they will face the Battlefords Stars. That best-of-five series is expected to start on Tuesday in the Battlefords with Game 2 tentatively scheduled for Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Art Hauser Centre. The final dates for the series are to be released today.
MINTO NOTES: Ingram finished the game with 32 saves while Holtby was tested 26 times in the Tisdale goal…Still on the mend for the Mintos are Braxx George and Carson Cayer. Both are sidelined with shoulder injuries and are doubtful for the semifinal series with the Stars…Prince Albert called up Brody Madarash and Jake Hobson to fill in roster spots, but both were used sparingly…The other semifinal will feature the regular-season champion Notre Dame Argos against the Regina Pat Canadians. That best-of-five series could also start as early as Tuesday.

"Easy to create our Christmas card using this card layout. Perhaps just my unfamiliarity with the product but would have liked to have been able to put a text box on the front of the card in front of the pic. We got the glossy print this year (versus matte last year) and much prefer the glossy look. Overall, great product."
"Great card, with terrific quality and good adaptability on the inside. Terrific service, too--prompt, accurate, and friendly."
"I have used Tiny Prints four years in a row and the design selections are great, the attention to detail is wonderful and we always love the finished product!"
"I wanted a photo card that would include enough space for me to write a personal message that would go to our closest friends and family. I found that possibility after fielding a call to the staff at Tiny Prints. The folded 'Favorite Memory' Photo Card was perfect. My intended story was told beginning with a full cover photo, two photos and my 87 word message inside, ending with one photo on the back…A perfect fit! Comments coming back to me convey the joy that I felt as I went through the layout process. Many, many thanks for helping me give this 'gift' to the people I love."
"We were really pleased with how this card turned out. We liked the simplicity and the lack of graphics on the front worked well for our photo. We also liked the opportunity to put our own greeting on the inside. The quality of the paper and the printing make the card seem very high end. Overall we got exactly what we were looking for!"

Alison Agness received the first annual award, newly established by the College's wildlife science faculty, for "outstanding senior in wildlife science." Alison received a certificate and a cash award of $100 on May 15, 2000.
Patrick Baker, Ph.D. student in silviculture and forest protection, is co-author of an article appearing in the May 26, 2000 issue of Science. The article, entitled "Spatial Patterns in the Distribution of Tropical Tree Species," describes a census of six large plots of tropical tree species and shows that most species are aggregated, or clumped, with aggregation most intense for rarer types of plants. The findings have implications for environmental decision-makers and forest managers. The article is available on the Web at: http://www.sciencemag. org/cgi/content/full/288/5470/1414? maxtoshow=&HITS=10&hits=10& RESULTFORMAT=&author1=Baker%2C+ P.&searchid=QID_NOT_SET& FIRSTINDEX=.
Caren Crandell, M.S. student in urban horticulture, has developed a forum for graduate students in the program to present proposals and develop thesis presentations. The forum complements already established opportunities for presenting proposals, but is informal and flexible for student needs, whether for preparing a thesis defense presentation, for meetings with faculty advisors, or just brainstorming project ideas in the "safe" environment of their peers.
Kyle Cunningham, M.S. student, and Joseph Roos, Ph.D. student, both in forest products marketing, have been awarded research fellowships through the Fulbright Foundation. Joe will be spending a year studying and conducting research as a Fulbright Fellow in Japan towards his Ph.D., while Kyle will be working and studying as a Fulbright Fellow in Ghana, West Africa.
Sara Jensen, M.S. student in social sciences, has been selected as a Presidential Management Intern (PMI), The PMI program was established by Executive Order in 1977 to attract to the Federal service outstanding individuals from a wide variety of academic disciplines who have an interest in, and commitment to, the analysis and management of public policies and programs.
Justin Knobel and Jesse Saunders were shared recipients of the Pack Forester of the Year Award, each receiving a check for $125.
Brian Oakley, Ph.D. student in forest ecosystem analysis, recently was co-recipient of a grant from the USFS-PSW Research Station for a project entitled, "Nitrogen Fixation and Fire in Sierra Nevada Forests." He also received a grant in the Northwest Scientific Association 2000 Student Research Grant -Competition.
Morgan Reichman, conservation of wildland resources undergraduate, has been invited to membership in Phi Beta Kappa. Santino Pascua, forest engineering undergraduate, is working on a project with the College of Ocean and Fishery Sciences to bring eight students from the Quinault Reservation to the UW campus this summer. The students will spend a week at Big Beef Creek research station, a week at Pack Forest, and a week on the Seattle campus.
John Withey, M.S. student in wildlife sciences, was awarded a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship.
Kevin Zobrist was the recipient of the $500 Pack Essay Prize for academic year 1999-2000.
Hans Schmidt, forest management undergraduate and vice president of the Forest Club, reports on "Garb Day 2000" held on the UW campus on May 19th. "The Annual Garb Day Celebration returned to main campus after 30 years! The 70-year-old celebration once held on campus, with log rolling in Frosh Pond, was moved to Pack Forest about 30 years ago. This year, the Forest Club decided to bring it back to campus." Hans, forest management undergraduate, coordinated the event, including fundraising, catering, and arranging for a bluegrass band. There were demonstrations of cross-cut sawing, axe chopping and chain saw carving, as well as displays and information tables from each of the College's majors. There were contests to guess the height and age of nearby trees and to locate wildlife radio transmitters. Displays on urban forestry plant health were also featured. "Mattia and Melissa Boscolo, Ben Carlsen, Sam Carvey, Mark Frey, Matt Gordon and Nicole Whitney were just a few of the students who helped make Garb Day a success," says Hans.
After a hard day in the field the design team meets with DNR clients. |
Robbie Stewart, forest engineering undergraduate, reports on the forest engineering program's, "Spring 2000 Capstone Adventure." "Beginning March 27, 2000," says Robbie, "forest engineering seniors (Barry Collins, Justin Gardner, Bill Heymann, Aaron McDonald, TA Luke Rogers, Aaron Roark, Robbie Stewart, and Tamra Zylstra), set in motion the preliminary analysis for a large thinning sale project for the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
The project consisted of designing a harvest and transportation plan for the Burnt Mountain planning area, located 17 miles north of Forks on the Olympic peninsula, just outside the town of Sappho, WA. The project had three parts. The first four weeks were spent at Pack Forest conducting the initial stages of the analysis and preparing for the field verification phase. During three weeks of field verification, we stayed at the Olympic Natural Resource Center in Forks, WA. We really liked the facilities and especially the cook who prepared the meals! During that time, of the seven miles of proposed road, six miles were gradelined, three miles were traversed, and inventories of existing roads were taken.
The students also cruised numerous plots and ran profiles to prove the accuracy of both the silvicultural data and the digital elevation model. This was done to ensure that the office designs were accurate and correct. Once the office data was verified in the field, we concluded that both sources of data proved to be surprisingly precise and the preliminary office designs were sound. The final four weeks of the quarter were spent back at Pack Forest completing the analysis and preparing a presentation and report for the DNR."

Triple-A lineups, outfielders at third base, and catchers pitching
Oct 1, 2009, 11:59 AM EDT
Boston's blowout loss to Toronto last night featured all sorts of amusing stuff, as long as you're not a Red Sox fan. And really they shouldn't even mind too much, after clinching a playoff spot the previous night.
For starters, the third-highest-scoring team in the league trotted out a lineup that surrounded cleanup hitter David Ortiz with the motley crew of Joey Gathright, Josh Reddick, Casey Kotchman, Rocco Baldelli, George Kottaras, Alex Gonzalez, Jed Lowrie, and Chris Woodward.
To the surprise of no one they were shut out by Roy Halladay, who allowed just three hits, all of them singles, and needed only 100 pitches to record 27 outs.
Fourth-string catcher Dusty Brown set a team record by becoming the third position player to pitch for the Red Sox this season when he took the mound in the ninth inning and turned an 11-0 deficit into a 12-0 deficit. As manager Terry Francona said afterward: "Any time we get to Dusty Brown pitching, it's a tough night." On the other hand, Brown was the closer at Yavapai Community College in 2001.
Last but not least Baldelli started in right field and then moved to third base in the seventh inning. Not only had he never appeared at third base in six seasons as a major leaguer, Baldelli revealed afterward that he'd played the position for a grand total of one game since high school. Sadly, nothing was hit his way in three innings at the hot corner. "I thought I needed a cup, so I got one from Mike [Lowell], and Youk gave me his glove, and that was it," said Baldelli, who smartly chose not to follow in Adrian Beltre's footsteps.

Indians GM Chris Antonetti gets vote of confidence after firing Manny Acta
Sep 28, 2012, 10:47 AM EDT
Last month Indians general manager Chris Antonetti told reporters that Manny Acta would be back as manager next season. And then yesterday Antonetti fired Acta.
That alone makes it pretty tough to place much weight in anything the Indians say about hiring and firing at this point, but yesterday Antonetti got a vote of confidence from upper management. Presumably it means more than the vote of confidence Acta got from Antonetti.
Here's what team president Mark Shapiro–who was the GM before moving upstairs in 2010–said about going forward with Antonetti:
We obviously look at a broad range of criteria when we're evaluating everybody. Chris is dealing with a set of challenges, which I understand, some of which are the creation of the organization that he and I ran together, and some of which are the result of other decisions.
But I feel he's controlled the bulk of what he can control well. [Indians CEO Paul Dolan] and I still endorse strongly his vision for how we can be competitive and, ultimately, a championship team. We feel that he's uniquely qualified and more capable than any other person in leading us to that outcome.
As far as votes of confidence go that's a good one, I guess, and it's worth noting that Shapiro was still technically the GM when the Indians hired Acta to a three-year contract following the 2009 season. Shapiro may also feel responsible that some of his final moves as GM didn't set up Antonetti for immediate success, but whatever the case it seems pretty clear that 2013 will be a make-or-break year for Antonetti in Cleveland.

And the death watch begins.
- willclarkgameface - Sep 28, 2012 at 10:53 AM
Vote of confidence? For what, having one of the worst 2nd half teams that side of Pittsburgh?
Come on.
I'm not sure what they need to do in Cleveland to finally win something, but my God do they need to get SOMETHING happening. Those teams of the 90s were too much of a cock tease for this to be the way things are gonna go down now.
- paperlions - Sep 28, 2012 at 11:13 AM
So….Antonetti was dealing with challenges and get's a break.
Acta was dealing with challenges too (being provided with less talent than average talent and a horrible pitching staff), much of which was the doing of Antonetti (and Shapiro)…..so he's fired.
- randygnyc - Sep 28, 2012 at 12:42 PM
Did he really say that he expects the Indians to compete for a championship, anytime soon? He should've just stopped after saying "competitive". Now he just looks foolish.
- willclarkgameface - Sep 28, 2012 at 1:04 PM
Chris Antonetti goes on my GM LIST OF SMUGGERY. Here is the list thus far:
T1) Mike Rizzo
T1) Ruben Amaro Jr.
3) Chris AntonettiFeel free to add names.
- kevinleaptrot - Sep 28, 2012 at 2:34 PM
When your team has the best record in baseball and a very bright future, as do the Nats, you can be smug. Not that I think Mike Rizzo is. A great GM yes, smug, no.
- blantoncollier - Sep 28, 2012 at 4:21 PM
Shapiro stated: "Chris is dealing with a set of challenges, which I understand, some of which are the creation of the organization that he and I ran together, and some of which are the result of other decisions"
In other words..that cheap guy Paul Dolan, wont spend any money so Chris has to get these damn AAA players and try and make it work.
- dslproductions - Sep 28, 2012 at 8:12 PM
I've never seen a team with less self-insight in upper management than these Indians. Shapiro IS the problem. They've been losers ever since he's been GM. Can him now, plus his cabin-boy Antonetti. Sell the team too, as the Dolans have less baseball knowledge than my poodle.
Start anew with Grover as GM and Alomar as coach. Let's get back to the greatness of the '90s!

Leabians Live Now
- January 18th, 2010
- Posted in Live
I may just be the girl of your wildest fantasies. Why? Because I get off making fantasies real. I love role playing. I can be a demure school teacher one minute. The next minute, I'll turn into a vamp and eat you all up. Yum! I can make you do things when I don my captain uniform. I will slowly take them off – don't worry about that! I just want to slowly tease you into telling me all your nastiest thoughts. Who knows? I might just do them!
And I have to say – I am insatiable! It is like there's this urge in me that can't get satisfied. I would always be up to something sexual, I just have to. That's why I love these blonde web cams – I can really get off showing people what I get and doing hardcore sex action online. Nothing beats seeing my men satisfy themselves with just one thought – that is, me and all the nasty things they'd want to do to me. I'd love to get them hard when they hear me moan, and see them come all over. By the end of it, we'd be dripping with sex and sweat, and exhausted, me and my men online on blonde web cams!
Not many people on lesbian porn cams will admit to Sadist And Masochist (S&M) fantasies. Of course, my girlfriend and I are not one of those people, lol! We're out and open about it. We love to play rough and dirty sometimes. We can get off with using nipple clamps, gags, ad blindfolds on each other. We inflict sweet pain on each other and kiss to make things better. It can really be a big turn on. Of course, we have the usual limitations and safe words. We share a lot of respect between us. We know that what we do in bed is our most intimate expression of who we are.
My girlfriend and I are actually bisexuals on lesbian porn cams. So, guys are most welcome to us. We enjoy being watched. Sometimes, we role play and may play subordinate to you. Sometimes, we'd want to be your boss too. Are you ready for something like that? We'd be gentle, promise, lol! But really, we're interested in a cool and adventurous guy who can join us in our sexual explorations. Sex is an adventure to us and we always welcome like-minded company. If you're the guy who want to join our lesbian porn show, then come on in.
As bisexuals on lesbian cams, my girlfriend and I agree on the beauty of each sex. A man and a woman have wonderful qualities in them, and we should never judge them based on their sex alone. Each person has an inner beauty that needs to be appreciated. For us, this extends to the bedroom. We don't really choose based on your sex. We just want to share sexual joys online with good and beautiful people. And what happens usually astound us. We find men and women who are willing to experiment and explore themselves, as my girlfriend and I explore each other. This is just so wonderful and beautiful for us – to have such an effect on those who watch us online.
You can trust that when we make love to each other, as you watch, we have you in mind. And we'd want for you to enjoy yourself too. Making love is a shared wonderful experience, even with strangers that we meet online. In some ways, we are connected physically. We share an honest moment online – when we can all be real and honest to each other. On our lesbian webcam, we come together and share in each other's physical joys. Come, please join us ?

House speaker stumps for Shays in Greenwich

GREENWICH, Conn. -- Republican U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays has battled with his party's leadership and has called on the GOP's majority leader to resign.
But on Wednesday, House Speaker Dennis Hastert raised up to $70,000 for Shays at a Greenwich fund-raiser, and called the 4th District congressman a key member of the GOP team.
"We don't always agree," said Hastert, who also acknowledged that Shays is a top election target for Democrats. "People in this district need to know that we support Chris. He is a part of this team, and we are going to keep him a part of this team."
Hastert said it is important for Shays to have the resources to get the message out to voters.
Promising to be more aggressive during his 2006 campaign to get out his message, Shays said he is eager to seek re-election to an 11th full term. He said he asked Hastert to headline the fund-raiser, "to put to bed the criticism that a moderate, independent voice like mine means I don't have the support and respect of my own leadership. I do."
Just last week Shays bucked his leadership by pushing for a vote on expanded funding for stem cell research _ something Hastert opposes. But Shays praised the speaker for allowing the House to vote on the issue _ which passed overwhelmingly.
And earlier this year Shays became the first Republican to say that embattled House Majority Leader Tom DeLay should resign because of mounting ethical problems.
About 100 Shays supporters attended the fund-raiser at the Belle Haven Club overlooking Long Island Sound, paying either $1,000 each for lunch or $2,100 to attend a private reception and have a photo taken with the lawmakers.
Hastert's Greenwich appearance was part of a swing through the northeast for fund-raisers in Pennsylvania, Vermont and Massachusetts.

June 6: PC suspends Uzbekistan program
Peace Corps has announced that it is suspending the Uzbekistan program after the visas of 52 Peace Corps volunteers who arrived in January were not renewed.

Background: PCOL published a report on April 23 that Peace Corps volunteers who arrived in January were having visa difficulties and reported on safety and visa issues in Uzbekistan as they developed.
