Groovy uses both " and ' for strings. Either can be used. Using either type of string allows you to use strings with quotations easily.
The groovy parser supports the notation \uab12 (i.e. a leading backslash and precisely four hex digits after the 'u' ).
This notation can be used in strings or anywhere in the program like the Java parser does.
Strings may be concatenated with "+". For example:
Multi-line strings
Regular strings in Groovy cannot span multiple lines.
As an exception to this rule, a backslash at the end of a line disappears and joins the current line with the next.
If you have a block of text which you wish to use but don't want to have to encode it all (e.g. if its a block of HTML or something) then you can use the """ syntax.
Because of the leading backslash, the string
text contains exactly two newlines. There are always represented by the character
'\n', regardless of the line-termination conventions of the host system.
String literals
It is possible to use another notation for String literals with the added benefit of not needing additional backslashes to escape special characters. That is especially handy with regular expressions.
For more information, read about regular expression.
Strings that are declared inside double-quotes (i.e. either single double-quotes ore tripled double-quotes for multi-line strings) can contain arbitrary expressions inside them as shown above using the ${expression} syntax in a similar way to JSP EL, Velocity and Jexl. Any valid Groovy expression can be enclosed in the ${...} including method calls etc. GStrings are defined the same way as normal Strings would be created in Java.
What actually happens is whenever a string expression contains a ${...} expression then rather than a normal java.lang.String instance, a
This lazy evaluation is useful for things like logging as it allows the calculation of the string, the calls to toString() on the values and the concatenation of the different strings to be done lazily if at all.
Another use case for GString is
If you explicitly want to coerce the GString to a String you can use the toString() method. Groovy can also automatically coerce GStrings into Strings for you.

Things must be getting serious between Jon Gosselin and his new girlfriend, Ellen Ross – so serious in fact that the reality dad of 8 introduced Ellen to six of his kids Friday, and RadarOnline.com can bring you the photos.
PHOTOS: Jon Introduces His Girlfriend To His Kids
Jon and Ellen were spotted picking up his sextuplets from the school bus in Reading, Pennsylvania and judging by the pictures the kids weren't phased to be meeting daddy's "new friend" – in fact they were all smiles and laughs and obviously happy to be seeing their dad.
PHOTOS: Jon Gosselin & New Girlfriend Take Bike Ride
Jon seems to be adjusting to his life as a single father, showing the kids around his new apartment, looking for a new job and now finally introducing his adorable brood to the new lady in his life.

New Faculty Orientation
West Chester University
Paul Rotenberry
308 Anderson Hall
Dear WCU Faculty Class of 2014
Welcome to the West Chester University community! I offer my sincerest congratulations on your appointment as a faculty member. Hiring and welcoming new faculty is one of the most important aspects of the position of Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. Your department chairperson, dean, and I know that tenure-track faculty hired this year will play a critical role in the future developments of departments and the University as a whole. Therefore, we share a special interest in your future success at WCU.
Part of assuring that success is helping you get a good start as you begin your first year at the University. To assist in this process, we have developed a New Faculty Orientation program that starts in August and has continuing sessions throughout the academic year. The goals of this program include giving you an overview of the mission, values, and special priorities of the University and providing you with information about what it takes to "make it" at West Chester University. During the Orientation program, you will have an opportunity to meet faculty and administrators in key leadership roles. In addition, you will meet other new faculty from the "Class of 2014". They will most likely have questions similar to yours about beginning this new experience and they may become your most supportive colleagues.
Over the years, the feedback has been very positive from new faculty about this program and evaluations have indicated that the entire orientation program has been very helpful. Therefore, I strongly encourage you to structure your August schedule to attend all of the three-and-a-half-day orientation sessions.
We are confident that this experience will be both worthwhile and enjoyable. I will look forward to meeting you in August!
Linda L. Lamwers, Ph.D.
Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs

WORST: Jennifer Hudson seemed embarrassingly unaware that her black bra showed glaringly through her beige sweater, Lucky Magazine 9th Annual Lucky Shop event in New York City. While we can almost forgive her for falling victim to the bright camera flash, there's no excuse for the pumpkin orange leather hot pants and that are even shorter than her sloppy black cardigan.
WACKY: With a mane of pink and purple hair that would make even Katy Perry jealous, singer StayC was an eye-catching sight at the Voli Lights Vodkas Event in West Hollywood. Her shredded pantyhose, black and fuchsia platform boots, black leather mini and baggy sweater could be called her eclectic personal style if worn alone – but throw them on at the same time and top off with a rugged backpack, and you have the ingredients of a hot mess!
BEST: The batwing sleeves on Anne Hathaway's draped white gown by Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisc was reminiscent of fellow leading character in The Dark Knight Rises, but was worn to celebrate her new film, Les Miserables, at the world premiere held at the Odeon & Empire Leicester Square in London. With its dramatic neckline, plunging back and pearl-beaded texture, the dramatic dress was the perfect way to feminize the actress' short cropped haircut.
WACKY: Les Miserables sadly wasn't a fashion hit for all the premiere's guests, with Laura Bailey hitting a very bad note in a pink ball gown that made her look like a walking dessert! The puffy shoulders, lace bodice and long satin skirt of the sickly sweet dress may have been the voice actress' attempt at reflecting the historical period theme, but instead she lowered the tone of the prim and proper event.
WORST: It's almost as if Chinese actress Bai Ling goes out of her way to wear crazy costumes to make sure she's still in the spotlight, and the Voli Lights Vodkas Event in West Hollywood was no different! Countless innocent pom-poms must have been sacrificed for her hideous fluffy white jacket, while her skin-tight pants look like they had metallic car paint splashed all over them
BEST: At the X Factor 2012 Final Four Party at Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, Khloe Kardashian Odom appeared to have dressed for a country music barn dance in a paisley patterned shirt and tight mini shirt – all she needed was a cowboy hat and a horse and she'd be ready for the rodeo!
WORST: She may have married heartthrob Justin Timberlake and be the envy of his millions of fans, but Jessica Biel's sense of style is not often something to be jealous of. Her Atelier Versace gown at the New York premiere of Playing For Keeps had all the makings of a stunner, however the contrasting details and mish-mashed lines created a confusing silhouette and landed her on worst dressed lists once again.
BEST: Proving that she is neither desperate nor a housewife, Teri Hatcher was vision in shimmering silver at the Kevan Hall Presents His Spring 2013 Collection fashion show in Los Angeles as she graced the front row. By over emphasizing one shoulder and kissing every curve down to her knees, the cocktail dress perfectly showcased the actress' timeless figure in a sexy but sophisticated way.
BEST: While it could be a little too short for her liking judging by Britney Spears' uncomfortable expression, her floral black mini dress at X Factor 2012 Final Four Party at Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills got the glowing review from our panel thanks to the bright colors that offset the sexy leather background.
WACKY: It is definitely not a good idea to mess with Eva Pigford in this spiked ensemble! From her studded gloves, sharp red claws and stiletto-heeled boots all made her a walking and talking weapon at KIIS FM's 2012 Jingle Ball Held at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live. Even the florescent pink color of her skintight dress screams "DANGER!"
Best Worst And Wackiest Of The Week

Free Picks: Service Plays for Saturday, April 26
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Saturday, April 26
Gabriel DuPont
My free play for today is going to be in the MLB ranks, as I like the New York Mets to get things done against the Miami Marlins, in an N.L. East battle in Queens. I don't want you listing pitchers in this one, as it'll be straight action.
Why the Mets are motivated here - They've won three straight games and are nipping at the heels of first-place Atlanta in the division. New York is just 2.5 games back of the Braves, who are entertaining the Cincinnati Reds over the weekend. Atlanta could sweep that series, so to keep pace, the Mets need to do the same against the last-place Fish.
Why the Marlins will struggle tonight - Miami, which is 10-13 on the year, has lost two in a row after last night's 4-3 setback. The Marlins have been great when hosting teams, and horrendous on the road thus far. To be exact, the Marlins are 1-9 when ordering room service. Until this team figures out how to win on the road, I'll be looking for value prices against it.
In conclusion, why NEW YORK is my SMART PLAY in this game - Though I state not to list pitchers, make note that Miami is handing the ball to Kevin Slowey, who is making his second start in place of Jacob Turner, and I'm not so sure about his durability for this one tonight, against the streaking Mets. If New York jumps on the right-hander early and often, he could be in the showers earlier than expected.
Things are just swinging in New York's favor right now, as it took last night's series opener in walk-off fashion. That's hard to recover from, when you've lost nine of 10 on the road, and easy to come back from, when you're riding a three-game win streak. Take the Mets.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Saturday, April 26
Scott Delaney
My free play for Saturday is on the Arizona Diamondbacks, over the visiting Philadelphia Phillies.
An interesting pitching matchup is scheduled for this one, as the Snakes hand the ball to Bronson Arroyo, while Cliff Lee toes the slab for the Phils. I'm not going to list either pitcher, though, as I like Arizona to get this one done on pure momentum.
The D-Backs have won three in a row, and while I realize Lee is 4-1 vs. Arizona is his career, but adding to their momentum is the fact that last night's series-opening win snapped an eight-game home slide.
Since scoring five runs in the ninth inning to spoil the Cubs' Wrigley Field 100-year celebration, Arizona hasn't slowed down one bit.
So even though the Snakes are just 2-11 at home, my money is on them keeping this run alive.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Saturday, April 26
Joe Williams
Heat at Bobcats
Play: Heat -5
The Heat have covered each of their past four trips to Charlotte, and Game 3 will not be any different. Miami has been rather lackluster through the first two games, doing just enough to win. Expect them to step on the gas pedal and really push Charlotte to the brink with a big win.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Saturday, April 26
Andre Gomes
Pacers / Hawks Over 187
The Pacers are really struggling in this series and today's contest is clearly a "must win" game for them. Right now, it is more likely for the Pacers to beat the Hawks via their offense rather than their defense as absurd it might sound.
Roy Hibbert is lost on the court! The Hawks' offense w/ their big men shooting the ball from the outside is taking advantage of Hibbert's lack of mobility. IND's coach Vogel has decided to change IND's PNR coverage as he lost the confidence in his team… Obviously, the Pacers are not "prepared" to change their defensive system built in years in a few days, and suddenly, the best defensive team in the league simply doesn't know what to do on the defensive end! In the last game, ATL generated plenty of good outside looks. For some reason, they couldn't hit those shots @ first half by shooting just 2-16 3pts. However, once those shots started falling, the Hawks killed IND's defense w/ 59 points in the second half!
On the other end… coach Vogel most likely will give more minutes to Luis Scola and C.J. Watson as both players have been quite decent on the offensive end = good sign for the OVER. I expect IND to be super aggressive by attacking the rim and get a decent number of FT's vs. undersized ATL's frontcourt! With Hibbert playing fewer minutes, the Pacers are playing a bit faster and so, my fair line for this is 190 points = proper edge for a play w/ OVER!
San Antonio Spurs -3.5
DAL's head coach Rich Carlisle was fantastic in the first two games of the series, but especially in the last game, the Spurs really couldn't play any worse.
First of all, we should understand that at the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks had scored 88 points while shooting 50.7% FG & 6-14 from 3pts (42.9% mark). However, the Spurs were even better offensively by shooting 56.5% FG & 8-14 from 3pts (57.1% mark), but still, they were trailing by 13 points!
Turnovers!!! SAS committed 21 TO's in the first 3 quarters of the game and they were outrebounded as well – obviously, I have to give some props to DAL but really, the majority of those TO's were the result of some incredible sloppy play from the Spurs! Turnovers & Rebounding is something really "easy" to fix, so I expect SAS to bounce back today in these two key areas.
In that game, everything went well for the Mavericks. They couldn't miss mid range jumpers…Shawn Marion was hitting three pointers… B. Wright battled foul trouble, and so Carlisle was "forced" to play D. Blair and Blair was just tremendous w/ 3-6 FG for 8 points + 7 rebounds and 4 steals in just 14 minutes of action!
DAL played small ball and won the game… I expect SAS to be more "ready" for this contest while their biggest problem in G2 is pretty easy to fix and so, I'm taking the Spurs in here as my Single Dime Play!
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Saturday, April 26
Bryan Power
Texas vs. Seattle
Pick: Seattle
With Felix Hernandez pitching tonight, I like the Mariners chances of making it two in a row over the Rangers. King Felix has not won in back to back starts, making him due for one here tonight at home. The Rangers have been outscored by their opponents this season despite being five games over .500....
Hernandez has gotten little run support in the past when he's started against Texas. This includes a game back on April 16th when he squared off against Yu Darvish and Seattle ended up losing 3-2. However, King Felix did his job as he left w/ a 2-1 lead after seven innings, allowing just four hits while striking out nine. Closer Fernando Rodney ended up blowing the game in the ninth. Last time out for Hernandez was far more head-scratching. He lost as a $2.40 favorite to Houston thanks to four unearned runs.
It's been the Rangers' bullpen though that's been a bigger question mark this season, on the road particularly. There they have a collective 5.96 ERA. Last night saw Neal Cotts allow four runs in the home half of the eighth. Starter Colby Lewis was knocked around in a previous outing this year vs. Seattle as well, giving up four runs in 5 1/3 innings of a 7-1 loss.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Saturday, April 26
Sam Martin
Texas Rangers at Seattle Mariners
Prediction: Texas Rangers
Big return on the Rangers tonight going against Felix Hernandez and the Mariners, and we'll back Texas looking for a big payout. Hernandez is clearly on the best starting pitchers in all of baseball, but he's had his fair share of struggles against Texas with a losing 12-20 record and a 15-25 team start record.
We backed Yu Darvish and the Rangers in their 1-0 win a week and a half ago, and we think they can beat Hernandez again - this time with more offense. King Felix has given up 14 runs (13 earned) in his last two home starts against the Rangers and Seattle is a horrible offensive team hitting just .203 on the season.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Saturday, April 26
Michael Alexander
Kansas City Royals vs. Baltimore Orioles
Play: Baltimore Orioles -128
Guthrie was 6-0 in his previous nine starts in April before yielding four runs and 10 hits in 6 1/3 innings of a 4-3 loss at Cleveland on Monday. The 35-year-old Roseburg, Ore., native is familiar pitching at Camden Yards (23-34, 4.21 ERA), with the bulk of the work coming from 2007-11 when he was 47-65 with the Orioles. In addition, Guthrie has lost 22 of the last 37 games when pitching on a Saturday and he has lost 55 of the last 92 road games when pitching as an underdog of +100 or higher
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Saturday, April 26
Andre Ramirez
Miami Heat vs. Charlotte Bobcats
Play: Charlotte Bobcats +5
Today we are laying the 5 points on the underdog at home. The NBA came under fire this week, when a whistle blower accused the NBA Officials of fixing the NBA Championship games. According to my sources, the NBA wants the HEAT and the Nets to be in the finals. With this information coming out, this game will be monitored by officials, and will be judged fairly. The Big Bettors are backing the Bobcats, and this game will come down to the wire. Don't be surprised if the Bobcats do pull the upset. The Bobcats are 10-3 ATS when playing with a 2 days rest, and 13-4 ATS after a division game.
Andre Ramirez's Featured Package
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Saturday, April 26
Cajun Sports
Milwaukee Brewers -1.5 +140
The Brewers as a home favorite after a SU win in which they allowed six or fewer hits and their starter went more than five innings, walked fewer than five batters and it's not the first game of a series have posted a record of 49-10 SU for a profit of +3573 Units and win by an average of 2.37 runs per game.

Hi friends
Sorry to come back on these matters, but I have a hard time finding definitive answers regarding these on the forum.
-First concerns splash damage against cloaked troops ... situation occured when a Protoss Reaver fired on a burrowing Hydralisk.
I know this problem has been discussed many times before, but after all this time, Im' still not sure whether the damage should be applied anyway, or if the creature escapes its fate by burrowing ...
-Second is : Defense order.
I've always played without the Brood Wars expansion, and after reading the description of this game mechanic, I'm not quite sure of its interest.
From your own experience, is this really an important addition to the basic game, or is this something you can simply ignore ?
Thanks for your patience ...
Besides, I've managed to complete 3 armies before our next game session, I post pics here (as promised a loong time ago)

WiFiFoFum have upgraded their Iphone application and I thought it was well worth posting about because it's making great use of the inbuilt GPS on the 3G Iphone.
We still have the Radar and Networks view.
But now you have the option to enable logging before a wardrive. In the screenshot below you can see a few previous logs.
After creating a log from a wardrive you will be able select it and you'll be asked if you want to view it in Maps or email it to yourself.
If I choose to view the log in Maps I get taken straight into maps and I'm presented with a nice map of all the AP's I discovered on my wardrive.
If you choose the option to email yourself the .kml file you can simply save the file to your PC and then drag and drop the .kml file into Google Earth to see exactly where everything is.
How cool is this eh! The pins retain all the useful info such as encryption, channel number, MAC address etc.....
What would be great would be a different colour pin to denote different types of encryption, but I guess that's making life real easy.
Now go get yourself some exercise and get wardriving!

Hi there,
Just curious if this does actually work with the iPod touch? The logging that is? Everything else works grand it's just the logging I'm curious about. You couldn't upload a screenshot of your settings?
- March 11, 2009 at 1:28 PM
- SynJunkie said...
Does your touch have a GPS to collect the logging information? I know when i had a touch (1st generation) it didn't have a built in GPS.
- March 11, 2009 at 8:58 PM
- David Paton said...
That'll be the problem. Picked up a cheap first generation in order to check this stuff out and I've neglected to notice the GPS.
It's grand however the rest of the stuff is more than enough to go on.
Thanks again, looking forward to more stuff on the iPod/iPhone wardriving in the future.
- March 11, 2009 at 11:22 PM
Well, I bought Wififofum, only to discover they upload the GPS loads to their own server before you can view them in Google Maps.
Total dealbreaker. I really DO NOT want to have someone else have access to my whereabouts. What is worse is their application sends them my iPhones unique ID.
So please do not support Wififofum. :(
- March 18, 2009 at 4:04 PM
- SynJunkie said...
Yeah that is a downer about there access to your logs but in my opinion the software has enough features without the GPS logging to warrant the £2.00 price point. Unfortunately, wardriving with an Iphone still has a way to go. Of course there is kismet but i hear that it won't run on the Marval chipset so at the moment WiFiFoFum is the best there is for GPS logging.

Hey, so great site. Love the posts that I've been reading through. Anyway, just found this one and thought I'd drop you a note. I've been wardriving for about 6 years now. Started writing war driving software for the old Palm OS with an app called WiFi-Where. I've just finished getting a version published for iPhone/iPod Touch and thought you you might be interested in it. You can see some of the shots at my site:
If you want a free copy to take a look at shoot me an email to jon at that domain and I'll hook you up. No strings attached. Really just want to make a great app.

Hi Jon, thanks for the comment. i'll definitely keep an eye open for your app in the appstore. i'm always on the lookout for new iPhone wifi apps and i'd love to review it on my site.
- January 8, 2010 at 9:32 PM
- SynJunkie said...
Jon - Thanks for the comment and the redeem code. I wont publish that comment as I don't know if other readers would be able to use it. I won't be using the code myself as I'm a firm believer in paying developers for decent applications and from what I have seen so far this looks to be the best wardriving app for the iPhone that I have seen. I'll certainly be doing a post on it when I have used all the features properly.
Great work.

As long as you're checking out new apps, have a look at yFy Network Finder. This app raises the bar on iPhone wardriving. It is database driven and tracks all of its data. It aggressively scans and improves its data with each use. The fully integrated mapping features make this app stand out from the rest. You can watch your map being built as you are scanning. It works best for iPhone 3G/3GS because of the internal gps hardware. The original iPhone will not make maps anywhere near as accurate. iPod Touch support is coming for the version 1.1 update, as well as more user requested features and an even more efficient scanning engine.
Thanks, and Enjoy!
- January 18, 2010 at 2:46 AM
- SynJunkie said...
Thanks for the tip David. I purchased the app first thing this morning. Wow, it's a beautiful looking app and I would say it kicks ass for finding rogue access points or for pinpointing any access point but due to the lack of exporting features I wouldn't replace wifi-where just yet.
I'd really like to spend some more time and review it this weekend maybe.
- January 18, 2010 at 10:19 PM
Just FYI, the iPhone is no longer war driving friendly on the app store. ALL of the wifi scanning apps have been abruptly removed from the store.
Look for yFy Network Finder to reappear for jailbroken devices very soon.
Thanks Apple, I wasn't having a bad enough day... Ptbtbtbtfth...

It snowed lightly overnight here.
I am wearing En Passant by Malle. First wearing of this delicate fragrance.
"Like a lobster with a pearl in its claw, the beet held the jasmine firmly without crushing or obscuring it. Beet lifted jasmine, the way a bullnecked partner lifts a ballerina, and the pair came on stage on citron's fluty cue. As if jasmine were a collection of beautiful paintings, beet hung it in the galleries of the nose, insured it against fire or theft, threw a party to celebrate it. Citron mailed the invitations."

Being a lemming from yesterday... Idole de Lubin for me on this BITTER cold Wednesday.
Enjoy, everyone! :bounce:
Its thought that people who hope too much will just waste their life away and never get down to doing any real work. Theyre confusing Hope with Wish, its lazy cousin... When Wish whispers, Something is just around the corner, what comes or not is never what was wished for. When Hope whispers Something is just around the corner, something always is. -- Charlie Elberson
My sale thread has some of my underappreciated fragrances looking for a good, new home...
Thanks to a mothering Wolf I am in Bulgarie Blu (enough already with the "v"s) today. For me a nicely balanced blend of Acacia, wisteria and flax flowers... with some woods and musk and.....GINGER!! The latter gives it an upbeat perkiness. Pretty way to spend this warming-up day (going to the 50's F) at the beach.
(Would be heading for the edge of the cliff in Jasmine Imperatrice but I USED UP ALL THE SAMPLE, OBB! So - many thanks for the source tip. :bounce

Wearing Serge Lutens La Myrrhe. Warm and sunny here today but the cold front is pushing from the North.
It's been bitter cold in NYC for the last 3 days in a row and I am fading like a flower in frost. Not fun. But I am testing Balenciaga Talisman thanks to an angelic BNer and I love it! Creamy and delicate, like an embrace. Looking up the notes presently!

BTW he has the 3.4oz bee bottle of Chant d'Aromes for $38.95 plus there is a free shipping coupon for orders over $35 on the homepage. I'm NOT affiliated at all, I just think that's a great deal. I've noticed Chant d'Aromes is becoming a rarity these days

I had Musc Ravageur on the menu for today, wanting to stay with Maurice Roucel for a week! What was I thinking? I am not a faithful woman; I cannot stick with Lutens for a week, or Gurelain, or much less anything else... I know, I know, I need to be watched . Carefully watched!
But, when Prada purrs and sings to me, no one else better stand in the way , come to think of it, it was Prada like an enchantress, a singing Siren, that persuaded me to abandon Lutens during his big week! So Prada it is for me, on this cold cold day of what feels like -20°C.

Runa Amazonian Guayusa Spice is a naturally caffeinated herbal supplement, contained in individually wrapped infusers. An Amazonian blend of energizing guayusa with full-bodied cinnamon and aromatic lemongrass. Guayusa (why-you-sa) provides balanced, sustainable energy without bitterness, jitters, or crash. A good source of antioxidants.
Guayusa, a natural, delicious source of energy and nutrition from the Amazon, provides clear and focused energy - what the native Kichwa people call "mental strength and courage." A caffeinated holly leaf native to Ecuador, guayusa contains an exceptional balance of caffeine, antioxidants, vitamins and amino acids for your whole body and mind.
Known for its stimulating effects, indigenous hunters drink guayusa to sharpen their instincts. They call it the "Night Watchman" because it helps them stay awake and alert all night.
Runa believes it's time for new kind of energy. Energy that allows people to live a stimulating life: fully engaged and full of curiosity. Energy to do more of what they love and are called to do. Sustainable energy that attracts, connects, expands, and propels them into the world with a clear mind and an open heart.
FlavorSince guayusa is not related to traditional tea varieties made from the camellia sinensis plant, it has a distinct flavor that pleasantly surprises your tastes buds with the first sip. The most frequent comment is "Wow, the flavor is so smooth and clean," to which Runa responds, "Exactly, that is because guayusa does not contain the tannins that can give traditional teas a sharper astringency."
You can also read a series of third party reviews of Runa's guayusa on the tea review website Steepster.com.
RunaSpiritIn an ancient tradition still practiced today, Amazonian families gather at dawn to drink guayusa from gourds around a communal fire. They come together during these early morning hours to share dreams, music and myths in a tradition that is essential to what makes them "Runa" - fully living human beings.
Preparation & CuppingCupping guayusa is a discovery of rich flavor and cultural tradition. Cupping is the practice of observing the tastes and aromas of brewed tea and coffee. We invite you to create a space to explore the full flavor and experience guayusa has to offer. Guayusa enjoys being shared in groups. The daily guayusa ritual in the Amazon is a gathering of friends and family where stories, dreams, and aspirations are shared while drinking gourds of guayusa from a communal pot. Sharing guayusa with your community and exploring its flavor replicates this 2000 year old Amazonian tradition.
Brewing Instructions
Traditional Brewing Method Guayusa is traditionally brewed by boiling whole leaves in a large clay pot on the fire for long periods of time. Farmers harvest whole guayusa leaves, form piles of approximately 15 leaves, fold them in half, and string many of these leaf packets together on a string, forming a large wreath known as a sarta. The sarta is then hung from the thatched roof of the hut over the fire to dry.
When tea time comes around every morning, the women remove a few of the now dried leaf packets and place them in a large clay pot on the fire. Traditionally, every family has one special black clay pot that they use only for brewing guayusa.
The leaves are left to boil in the water for anywhere from 30 minutes to 7 hours. Often times the pot will be left to brew overnight. Because guayusa does not have any tannins like other teas, it can be brewed for long periods of time and never acquires an astringent or dry flavor. Once the guayusa is ready, the mother dips a large gourd into the pot and pours servings into the individual gourd that each family member has.
Guayusa The PlantGuayusa (botanical name ilex guayusa ) is not related to the camellia sinensis plant, the parent of white, green, oolong, and black teas. It is one of three caffeinated holly trees that exist in the world, and is a distant cousin of Yerba Maté (ilex paraguariensis ). Guayusa leaves have a smooth ribbed edge, similar to the distinctive shape of a holly tree leaf (but without the spikes). Very large in size, guayusa leaves can reach over 15 cm in length (about as long as your hand).
Guayusa trees can reach a height of over 50 feet and live to be over 100 years old. They tend to produce lots of small trunks on one bush, and therefore are full of leaves (perfect for harvesting).
While guayusa is endemic to the Upper Amazon regions of Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia, it is estimated that over 98% of the guayusa trees in the world are located in Ecuador.
Interestingly, guayusa does not produce fertile seeds. This unique botanical characteristic demonstrates the intricate role that guayusa has played with human development in the Amazon. Botanists believe that after being propagated asexually for hundreds of years, guayusa lost its ability to produce fertile seeds. Just as they depend on it for a health source of energy, it depends on them to keep growing.
Did you know that caffeine serves as a natural insect repellent? Botanists believe that plants first produced caffeine in order to give insects an unpleasant jolt to their nervous system when they eat a plant's leaves. Runa strange creatures find it pleasant.
Curbing the Coffee Buzz with GuayusaTired of feeling agitated, crashing mid-afternoon, or having stomach irritation from too much coffee? If you're trying to reduce or eliminate coffee from your diet, guayusa could serve as a helpful tool to help you reach your goal. Try substituting a cup of guayusa for your afternoon cup of coffee, or start your day off with a strong guayusa brew and see the difference.

Today I phoned a talk radio program in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania (Lynn Cullen 1360 AM). They were talking about the violence in the Muslim religion. A caller who claimed not to be a follower of any one religion, as usual, said that Islam was a religion of peace. My call was to dispute that along with bringing up the violence that also is expressed in the other 2 major religions. During my conversation with the host "Lynn Cullen" I mentioned "The End of Faith"
and Sam Harris. She said that she was trying to get Sam on her show to discuss his new book. This post is to encourage him to do so. Not only is she the most reasonable talk show host I've ever heard, she has a diverse listening audience.

Republicans and Democrats Agree On Manhattan Project National Park, Manage Not to Vote It Into Existence
We've told you before about legislation in Congress that would make the laboratories that housed the Manhattan Project into a national park, commemorating probably the greatest gathering of scientific minds in the history of time and both the scientific progress (atomic energy) and sickening horror (the atomic bomb) that resulted from it. The Manhattan Project National Historical Park Act finally came up for a vote in the halls of Congress last night, and a majority of our great nation's elected represntatives -- 237 grown adults -- agreed that it should be a thing that exists, which, given the state of our political system today, of course means that the bill failed. Confused? We've got your explanation after the jump. Read More

Free Picks: Service Plays for Friday, August 22
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Friday, August 22
Dominic Brando
Astros / Indians Over 8.5
Our top MLB Total on the Friday card comes from Cleveland (our model sets this number going over 10). Peacock and Carrasco will yield plenty of opportunities for both teams (combined ERA over 9.5 with a total record of 5-10 on the season). Houston enters off an afternoon road shutout at Yankee Stadium, but their bats will come back alive tonight against a SP that has very little business being on a MLB roster (Astros 32 runs in previous five games before yesterday's gem by Brandon McCarthy). Similar situation for the Tribe, who enter tonight off a silent afternoon road loss (1 run yesterday) after having scored 12 runs in the previous two games. BATS AWAKEN ON BOTH SIDES TONIGHT as we take advantage of a weak 8.5 number and put our investment on the over!
LA Dodgers -130
WE LOVE the Dodgers in this spot tonight, entering with momentum after the huge Josh Turner HR that saved the night B8 last night vs SD. Expect LA to respond tonight as the bright lights of NYC come to visit. The Mets are just 3-6 in their last nine games and typically struggle on the West Coast including 0-4 L4 at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers are 13-3 against left-handed pitchers and catch Jonathon Niese at an opportune time tonight (entering 2-5 in his last seven starts as a road underdog and just 1-7 on the road against .500 or better teams). The Dodgers have won six of seven games against the Mets and it continues tonight. VALUE at -130, jump on the better team in a perfect spot!
Padres +105
We isolate the Padres as our top underdog on the Friday MLB Card! We catch a very live dog coming into the desert tonight, swinging their best bats of the season (and the best offense in the National League since the ASB. SD is the top hitting team in the NL and they are third in MLB in batting average (.267) during that time. Before getting their hearts broken last night vs Clayton Kershaw, the Pads had 68 hits and 35 runs in their previous 7 games! On the flip side, offense has disappeared for the DBacks, who have hit only .239 since the ASB (scoring ONLY 14 RUNS/45 HITS OVER THEIR LAST 7 GAMES). Paul Goldschmidt is out for the year, and the offense has responded in miserable fashion - we expect that to continue tonight! DBacks SP Josh Collimenter enters tonight with a 6.46 ERA in his last 3 starts. San Diego is 8-3 vs sub .500 teams since the ASB and enters off a very feisty series at Dodger Stadium. We move with complete confidence on San Diego as our top Friday Dog!
Montreal +8
Do not let the record differential in tonight's game deceive you. Winnipeg escaped with a 34-33 victory at Montreal early this season, but the Blue Bombers were out gained by 105 yards. Winnipeg is also only 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 home games. Our model sets this number in the 3.5-4 range, and we will JUMP on what we judge to be a clear overlay/value spot with a live dog in Montreal. Be sure to play at +8 on the half point buy if necessary. We expect a continued run of success with our CFL plays. Take the points and expect the Alouettes to be more than ready for this one tonight!
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Friday, August 22
Sam Martin
San Francisco Giants at Washington Nationals
Prediction: Washington Nationals
Good pitching matchup tonight with Tim Hudson taking on Doug Fister, and we expect Fister and the Nats to get the better of the visiting Giants tonight. Not only has Fister been simply awesome here at home, but the Nationals are on a momentum and confidence driven winning streak that has them feeling invincible at the moment with everything falling their way over the course of their current ten-game winning streak.
Seven of those ten wins have come by a single run, but we think they might take this one by a bit more with Fister going. The Nationals starter has won seven of his eight team starts here at home on the season having a ridiculous 1.76 ERA in the process. And he's only getting stronger as the season goes on, going at least seven innings while allowing exactly zero earned runs in each of his last three starts. Nothing against Hudson, but he can't stack up to those numbers statistically and we look for Washington's magic run to continue at least one more game!

Pittsburgh Pirates +133
The Pittsburgh Pirates (65-62) are just 2.5 games back of the Giants for the final wild card spot in the National League. They had lost seven in a row before finally putting an end to that streak with a 3-2 victory over the Braves on Wednesday. I look for them to now starting a winning streak today by taking down the Milwaukee Brewers at an excellent price.
Jeff Locke is quietly having a solid season for the Pirates on the mound. The left-hander has gone 4-3 with a 3.73 ERA and 1.222 WHIP over 14 starts this season. He has dominated the Brewers in two of his last three starts against them. He gave up one earned run over seven innings on June 8th in his only start against them this year. He is 1-1 with a 2.89 ERA in his last three starts against Milwaukee overall.
Yovani Gallardo is a guy that consistently gets too much respect from oddsmakers. After all, the Brewers have gone just 12-13 in his 25 starts this season. He has posted solid numbers with a 3.32 ERA and 1.215 WHIP in those starts, but he has been at his worst at home, going 2-4 with a 4.06 ERA and 1.326 WHIP in 13 starts inside Miller Park.
The Pirates are 4-1 in Locke's last five starts as an underdog. Pittsburgh is 8-3 in Locke's last 11 starts with a total set of 7.0-8.5. The Brewers are 0-5 in Gallardo's last five home starts. Milwaukee is 3-7 in Gallardo's last 10 starts overall.

Mike Lundin
Cardinals vs. Phillies
Play: Over 7½
The Cardinals and the Phillies are tied at 2-2 in the season series coming into the opener of a three game set at Citizens Bank Park tonight. I think we'll see a game with plenty of runs as two struggling hurlers will take the hill.
The Cardinal's Shelby Miller (8-9, 4.25 ERA) has been roughed up pretty bad in his last two outings, surrendering nine runs on 12 hits over 11 innings. He has tossed 6 2/3 innings versus the Phillies already this season, conceding four runs on seven hits with three walks. He's posting a 4.41 ERA over 12 starts on the road.
The Phillies are going with Kyle Kendrick (5-11, 4.90 ERA) who's also been hit hard lately. The 29 year old right-hander has allowed 10 runs on 15 hits over 10 innings in his last two starts. He's started one game versus the Cardinals this season, giving up five runs on eight hits over six innings.
All of the Cardinals last five games has gone over the total, and so has eight of Kendrick's last nine starts as well.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Friday, August 22
Michael Alexander
Seattle Mariners vs. Boston Red Sox
Play: Seattle Mariners -175
Hernandez was hit in the hip with a comebacker at Detroit on Saturday and left after five innings, ending a string of 16 straight starts with at least seven innings pitched and two or fewer earned runs allowed. The Cy Young frontrunner, who yielded two runs to the Tigers and suffered the loss, has issued a total of three walks in his last five starts. Hernandez has always had success against Boston and owns an 8-2 record with a 2.97 ERA in 15 career starts against the Red Sox.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Friday, August 22
Montreal +7½ & (+255) over WINNIPEG
We're going to split this up and play a half unit on the Alouettes to win outright and 2.5 units on them to cover the number. As bad as the Als have been with just one win in seven games, they're getting closer and one can just sense that they're on the verge of a big game and a big win. That probably should've happened last week in Saskatchewan when they gave the Riders a big scare as 13-point dogs. That was the game Alex Brink took over from Troy Smith and went 19 for 31 for 187 yards in poor conditions. At least Brink moved the chains and he now has that full game under his belt. Montreal's defense looks in fine shape and they still have one of the best offensive weapons in the league in Brandon Whitaker. Whitaker figures to get a ton of work against the Bombers soft defense. Overall, the Als have played consecutive games against B.C., Toronto, Edmonton and Saskatchewan and they take a step down here when facing a team that is very beatable right now. In fact, with Troy Smith at QB, Montreal scored 33 points against the Bombers back on July 11 but Winnipeg pulled a rabbit out of its hat and scored in the final seconds to win it, 34-33. That was probably the game we should have realized that Winnipeg could be a team in trouble.
The Bombers were crushed in Toronto last game while being outgained by almost 200 yards and surrendering nearly 500 yards of total offense. Over their past two games, Winnipeg has been outgained on the ground by a disturbing 250 yards. Drew Willy is not getting better each week. In fact, he's getting worse. Willy is under constant pressure and as a result, he's throwing the rock up for grabs. Winnipeg's overall defense, pass protection and offense are all headed in the wrong direction, which is a poor recipe for spotting points. Winnipeg is just 2-2 at home and in Week 2 they were just a 4-point favorite over Ottawa. In Week 4 at Invesco Field, the Bombers were a 2-point choice over Edmonton and were buried by 23 points. Incredibly, the last time that Winnipeg was favored by 7 points or more was way back in October of 2011 when they were an 8-point favorite over the Argonauts and lost outright, 27-22. In 18 games last season, the Bombers were never favored. Winnipeg is not a team to be spotting significant points with. Montreal's stock is still low after posting a 1-6 record to this point and because of its inability to score points. However, The Als are actually improving while the Bombers are regressing badly but this number does not reflect that. We're calling the upset.

Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Friday, August 22
CLEVELAND -1½ +114 over Houston
Brad Peacock has been just plain awful over the past month, with a 10.50 ERA in his past four starts. A 21% hr/f rate indicates some bad luck but he's contributed plenty to his own undoing with a BB/K split of 12/14 over his last 18 innings covering four starts. That high hr/f is also the result of a high fly-ball rate and that's what you often get with fly-ball pitchers. The Indians .731 home OPS ranks 4th in the AL and it shows that they have the firepower to ruffle Peacock's feathers in this outing. We also love the fact that the Astros are coming off a four-game set in New York and while playing the Yankees isn't what it used to be, playing in New York is still exciting, especially for young teams like the Astros.
Meanwhile, Carlos Carrasco has made just six starts this season. Carrasco opened the season in the rotation with disastrous results, allowing 17 runs in 22 innings. He did not make it past the sixth inning in any of his first four starts. A subsequent demotion to the pen straightened him out, where in 26 relief appearances covering 43 innings, Carrasco thrived with 39 K's, 9 BB and a 2.30 ERA. In two starts since being reinserted into the rotation, Carrasco surrendered five hits and zero runs in 12 innings combined against the Yanks and Baltimore. He didn't walk a single batter while striking out nine. He also posted an elite 55% groundball rate, an elite 13% swing and miss rate and an elite 14% line-drive rate. Carrasco has nasty stuff and now his confidence at this level has never been higher. Everything points to an easy victory by the Tribe and that's how we'll play it.
N.Y. Mets +120 over LOS ANGELES
Diagnosed with a partially torn rotator cuff last season, Jonathan Niese took six weeks off to rest/rehab and then he returned in the second half to put together a career-best run. Niese could be on the same path this year, as he returned from the DL in late July and he's once again showing signs of getting stronger. Niese has struck out 12 batters over his last two starts, covering 13 innings. Niese's solid command, strong groundball tilt and consistent history presents potential reward and this year his groundball rate is one of the best in the business at 55%. He'll now face a Dodgers team that struggles against LHP, with their .683 OPS 12th in the NL.
Forget Niese for a second because this one is more about fading Dan Haren again. We faded him last weekend against Milwaukee and he didn't make it past three innings after allowing six hits and five runs. It took Haren 74 pitches to get nine outs and he also walked three batters. Had Hyun-Jin Ryu not got injured, Haren would not be in the rotation. The Dodgers were so concerned about his ineffectiveness that they went out and traded for Kevin Correia, a move the Twinkies are still celebrating over. Haren's groundball/line-drive/fly-ball split of 27%/27%/46% is enough to scare away even the biggest optimists. His swing and miss rate has been in decline for three straight years and it's not getting any better. He's been tagged for 10 jacks at Dodger Stadium in just 63 frames and as the innings pile up that number is in more danger. Dan Haren has one foot in the gutter and should the Dodger make the playoffs, you won't see him anywhere near the mound. The Dodgers are praying he gives them five innings of decent service tonight but even they know that's a stretch. Haren has lost it and while anything is possible in one game, he's a huge risk as the chalk.

Pittsburgh vs Milwaukee
Pick: Milwaukee -142
The Pittsburgh Pirates take on the Brewers in Milwaukee on Friday night. Pittsburgh is 65-62 overall this year while Milwaukee comes in with a 71-56 overall record on the season. Pittsburgh has now lost 7 of their last 8 games overall while Milwaukee has won 5 of their past 6 games overall. Pittsburgh is scoring 3.3 runs per game their past 7 games overlal where they have a team batting average of only .223. Pittsburgh is allowing 5.7 runs per game their past 7 games overall. Yovani Gallardo gets the start for the Brewers where he is 8-6 with a 3.32 ERA overall this year and 2-1 with a 2.84 ERA his last 3 starts. Milwaukee has won 10 of 13 overall meetings against Pittsburgh this year including 5-1 at home. Gallardo is 12-3 with a 2.43 ERA in his 23 starts against Pittsburgh in his career. We'll recommend a small play on Milwaukee tonight.

Tampa Bay Rays + over Toronto Blue Jays
The Rays have won 21 of the last 27 road games and this is a big series for Tampa Bay as they try to move up in the AL East, still sitting just behind Toronto. Drew Smyly was having a solid season for Detroit before he was shipped to the Rays in the deal for David Price. With less pressure on him in Tampa, Smyly has flourished with three strong starts since joining the team, allowing a total of five runs in 20 innings while striking out 19. Marcus Stroman has enjoyed an encouraging rookie season for the Blue Jays but it has come with great inconsistency. In three of his last eight starts he has a scoreless performance of seven innings but he has allowed five or more runs in a start of four or fewer innings three times in that span. Stroman owns good numbers at home but the Blue Jays continue to sink with losses in six of the last eight games and the Rays have posted better recent scoring numbers that Toronto even with yesterday's one-hit win. Tampa Bay owns the stronger bullpen and the Rays have as many road wins as the Jays have home wins this season.

San Diego at Arizona
Play: Over 8.5
I don't know how it is possible but Josh Collmenter's velocity continues to trend in the wrong direction. He's almost like a knuckballer where velocity is secondary to movement and location but the proof is in the pudding as Collmenter has allowed 17 earned runs over his last four starts. Kirk Gibson has his concerns about whether or not the funky right-hander is breaking down. Bottom line is if Gibson is spotting something, then we should probably take notice. San Diego's Odrisamer Despaigne burst onto the scene with a handful of stellar starts but like Collmenter, he isn't fooling many hitters these days. He's fanned 37 batters in 60.1 innings and isn't built for much beyond pitching at night in Petco Park. The concern here is obviously two suspect offenses with multiple key bats on the bench. I'l however put my faith in the fact that there will be a lot of balls put in play tonight and both bullpens grade out as below average (the Padres much different with Huston Street gone and Joaquin Benoit dealing with shoulder problems). The price is right to step in with a play on the over.

Seattle Mariners -1 -142
After only a single hit, the Red Sox turn around and face arguably the best arm in the AL. They aren't ready for this. 0-5 at home and they welcome a rested Mariners squad that is only half a game behind the 2nd wild card spot.
Seattle has won 11 of 15 and 14 of 19 when King Felix starts. Hernandez is 5-2 with a 1.75 ERA in 10 recent starts and 13-4, 1.99 ERA overall. The Mariners lead the league in ERA at 2.93.
Joe Kelly is mismatched heavily here going up against a proven ace. Kelly gave up 7 runs, 6 walks in 4 innings on Sunday to Houston. He has a 0-1, 5.29 ERA in his last 3 starts and 2-3, 4.67 ERA overall this season.
What can I say here? The Mariners are priced high for a big reason. They're 8-3 in their last 11 as a favorite and they can't afford to lose easy, mismatched games like this. This is not a good board today in the MLB and we should only be betting on the best of the best games.

New England Patriots -6
I think the Panthers are in trouble this year. I do not think they will be able to put up the points needed to win a lot of football games this year. The Patriots for the first time in many years actually have to play with heart in the preseason because some of their players are a work in progress. Brady will prove tonight he is still and elite QB in this league. Take the Patriots.
New York Jets -1
I don't see the Giants winning many games if this running game does not get going. Someone on this team is going to have to step up when it comes to carrying the ball. The Jets have done some good things and the QB competition is healthy for all involved. This should be a good one, but I like the depth of the Jets a bit more. Take the Jets.
Detroit Lions -3
I like what Jacksonville has done. They will complete this year, but they need to get past putting up 3's on the board and more 7's or they will never be a playoff team. Detroit has a great passing team and on this surface they should put up a few points. This system has been in place for sometime and i expect them to be too much at home. Take the Lions
Green Bay Packers -7
The Raiders are again a work in progress with a new starting QB. Their second stringer wont play tonight so it will be a 3rd stringer playing with some first and second stringers. Green Bay is a tough place to play even if its a preseason game. Green Bay has a great offense and need to get better on defense. I think they give their fans something to be hopeful for tonight against a team that is still being molded. Take the the Packers.
Chicago Bears +7
Size is going to be a big advantage this year with the way these refs are calling the games. Smaller corners won't be able to touch the receiver at all so its going to be tough to defend these guys. Chicago has monster players and are one of the few teams that won't be scared of this Seattle Defense. Look for the Seahawks to brush through this game without injury. What do they have to prove to anyone? Take the Bears.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Detroit Lions
Play: Jacksonville Jaguars +3.5
The Public all on the Lions here with 65% of all bets placed - yet the odds makers have already had to move this line a full 1 1/2 points off the opener in the Jaguars favor - as some blocks of Sharp money has landed on Jacksonville in this spot. So let's follow the money and release a play on the underdog Jaguars tonight.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Friday, August 22
10 in a row for Washington have to keep riding them while they are red hot. The Nationals are an incredible 14-4 in Fister's starts this season, and he has allowed 0 ER in each of his past 3 starts (0.89 WHIP). Hudson has struggled for the Giants of late and owns a 6 ERA and a 1.73 WHIP over his last 3 starts.
Just once since June 13th have the Mariners allowed more than 4 runs when King Felix takes the hill. The Red Sox offense has been non-existant of late scoring just 1.8 runs per game over their past 5 – not a good stat heading up against King Felix.
We've been riding these guys for awhile now and they continue to cash in. The Athletics Sonny Gray has had 3 consecutive starts not up to his standards as he is 0-3 over this stretch with a 6.48 ERA and owns an extremely high 1.92 WHIP. Angels starter, Hector Santiago has 2 starts against these A's this season where he has pitched a total of 13 innings allowing just 1 run.
The Pirates are 11 games below .500 on the road and have lost 7 of 8 overall. The Brewers have been playing great baseball winning 5 of their last 6. Gallardo has given up 1 earned run or less in 4 of his last 5 starts. Locke has given up 4 runs or more in 3 of his last 5 starts. He has also struggled on the road with a 1.42 WHIP. The Brewers have also won 7 of the last 9 meetings this year.

Jeffrey James
Carolina Panthers +5.5
Look for Cam Newton to get more playing time here than Tom Brady which will help the Panthers cause a ton. The Patriots have been 0-6 ATS in game 3 of the pre-season since coach Bill knows what he has in his QB and offense so he does not need them to play as much as other teams. Carolina is 6-1 ATS in the pre-season against AFC teams while New England is 4-8 against NFC teams.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Friday, August 22
Harry Bondi
SEATTLE (-7) over Chicago
The Seahawks have been money in the pre-season under Pete Carroll and we have used them often, including in this space last week when they crushed San Diego 41-17. Seattle is 11-2 ATS during Carrol's reign and we see non reason to expect anything but another blowout tonight with both squads starters expected to play into the third quarter. Seattle superior depth will insure the cover in the fourth quarter.

OC Dooley
Twins +100
At most offshore outlets Minnesota actually opened as a home favorite but a this afternoon progresses we have seen a shift in the money-line towards Detroit who is one-and-half games out in the American League Central divisional chase. One of the keys to this pick surrounds the fact that Detroit is coming off the worst possible defeat as newly acquired David Price just tossed a ONE HIT gem on the road against his former team (Tampa) and yet managed to lose by a 1-0 final score. It is very difficult to shake off a defeat of that magnitude and tonight the Tigers have to deal with Tommy Milone who started the season in an Oakland uniform. In what turned out to be his final Athletics start before being traded eventually to the Twins, Milone also tossed a ONE HIT gem and is certainly capable of a quality outing. Admittedly Milone did struggle in his most recent start by he had problems properly gripping the baseball on a RAINY night. I have mentioned several times on the premium service spanning the past couple of weeks that even though Minnesota is in last-place, they actually ENHANCED their roster by getting a couple of veterans back from lengthy stays on the disabled list. One of those veterans is the face of the franchise Joe Mauer who has hit safely in 20 of the past 21 games where he has been healthy enough to take the field. Infielder Brian Dozier just became a member of the 20-20 club (20 homers, 20 stolen bases) which is something the Twins franchise has not seen in an entire DECADE. Underdog Minnesota does have an edge this evening on the mound as Tommy Milone has already had the pressure of starting a postseason game. On the flipside Detroit's Robbie Ray has made only 5 starts at the major league level

Chicago Bears +7
Have to love the Bears here in this spot. They are in a great trend spot here playing off of 2 SU home wins and now going on the road. That is a 46-26 ATS spot. There is also a great go against on Seattle since they are favored by more than a touchdown off of a double digit SU win. That is a 3-20 ATS trend against the Seahawks. Take this big number of points with the Bears here.

Comments about Royal Racing Royal Blast Glove:
This glove feels like an XC glove with the grip for any type of terrian. The leather palm is so tacky but still has all the feel from the trail due to its thickness. Breathes really well with a perfect fit. I am between sm and med gloves but they hit it perfect this year. My hand is a little over 8" circumference and I ordered the small. Last years were to tight this year amazing, I can't say enough. I also bought the SIgnature gloves, felt like I wasn't wearing gloves.

Happy 2012! I hope you all has a restful and calorie-filled holiday. For my part, the holidays typically involve a fair amount of driving, and ergo, a fair amount of listening to podcasts. To that end, I'd like to ease into a new year of mathematics by considering a simple puzzle, one which was featured recently on NPR's Car Talk. If you are not fortunate enough to have listened to this show, it centers on two brothers from Cambridge, Massachusetts, affectionately known as Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers (though their real names are Tom and Ray Magliozzi). Each week, in between a fair amount of good-natured banter, the brothers field a variety of automotive questions from callers nationwide.
