Bounty hunting is a helluva job, but it pays the bills. And it lets necromance Dante Valentine forget her issues-like struggling with her half-demon side and the memory of her lover's death.
Now psychics all over the city are being savagely murdered-and a piece of the past Dante thought she'd buried is stalking the night with a vengeance. Too bad she's got no way to tell which fiend-or friend-to trust. Or that her most horrifying nightmares are gathering to take one kick-ass bounty hunter down for the count.
But that's only the beginning. The Devil just called. He's looking for Dante's lover-the one he killed...
Darkness pressed close as the lights flickered. Damn corporate greed not putting proper lighting in their goddamn warehouses. The least they could have done is had the fluorescents replaced.
Then again, corporations don't plan for hunters taking down bounties in their warehouses, and my vision was a lot better than it used to be. I eased forward, soft and silent, broken-in boots touching the cracked and uneven floor. My rings glinted, swirling with steady, muted light. The Glockstryke R4 was in my left hand, my crippled right hand curled around to brace the left; it had taken me weeks to shoot left-handed with anything like my former accuracy. And why, you might ask, was I using a projectile gun when I had two perfectly good 40-watt plasguns holstered in my rig?
Because Manuel Bulgarov had taken refuge in a warehouse full of plastic barrels ofreactive paint for spreading on the undersides of hovers, that's why.
Reactive paint is mostly nonvolatile-except for when a plas field interacts with it. One plasgun blast and we'd be caught in a reaction fire, and though I was a lot tougher than I used to be I didn't think I could outrun a molecular-bond-weakening burst fueled by hundreds, if not thousands, of gallons of reactive. A burst like that travels at about half the speed of light until it reaches its containment edge. Even if I could outrun or survive it, Jace certainly couldn't, and he was covering me from the other side of the T-shaped intersection of corridors faced with blue barrel after blue barrel of reactive.
Just like a goddamn bounty to hide in a warehouse full of reactive to make my day.
Jace's fair blond face was marred with blood that almost hid the thorny accreditation tat and the spreading bruise up his left cheek, he was bleeding from his shoulder too. Ending up in a bar brawl that alerted our quarry was not the way I'd wanted to do this bounty.
His blue eyes were sharp and steady, but his breathing was a little too fast and I could smell the exhaustion on him. I felt familiar worry rise under my breastbone, shoved it down. My left shoulder prickled with numb chill, a demon's mark gone dead against my flesh, and my breathing came sharp and deep, ribs flaring with each soundless gasp, a few stray strands of hair falling in my face. Thank the gods I don't sweat much anymore. I could feel the inked lines of my own accreditation tat twisting and tingling under the skin of my left cheek, the emerald set at the top of the twisted caduceus probably flashing. Tone it down, don't want to give the bastard a twinkle and let him squeeze off a shot or two.
Bulgarov didn't have a plasgun-or at least, I was reasonably certain he hadn't had one when he'd gone out the back door of the PleiRound nightclub and onto an airbike with us right behind him, only slightly slowed down by the explosion of the brawl. After all, the PleiRound was a watering hole for illicits, and once we'd moved and shown we were bounty hunters all hell had broken loose. If he'd had a plasgun, he probably wouldn't have bothered to run. No, he would have turned the bar into a firezone.
I'd almost had Bulgarov, but he was quick. Too quick to be strictly normal, though he wasn't a psion. I made a mental note to tell my scheduler Trina to tack 15 percent onto the fee, nobody had mentioned the bastard was genespliced and augmented to within an inch of violating the Erdwile-Stokes Act of '28. That would have been nice information to have. Necessary information, even.
My shoulder still hurt from clipping the side of a hover as we chased him through nighttime traffic on Copley Avenue. He'd been keeping low to avoid the patrols, though how you could be inconspicuous with two bounty hunters chasing you on airbikes, I couldn't guess.
It was illegal to flee, especially once a bounty hunter had identified herself as a Hegemony federal officer. But Bulgarov hadn't gotten away with rape, murder, extortion, and trafficking illegal weapons by being a law-abiding jackass who cared about two more counts of felony evading. No, he was an entirely different kind of jackass. And staying low meant a little more time without the Hegemony patrols getting involved in the tangle, which made it him against just two bounty hunters instead of against full-scale containment teams. It was a nice move, and sound logic-if the two bounty hunters weren't an almost- demon and the Shaman who had taught her a good deal about hunting bounties.
My eyes met Jace's again. He nodded curtly, reading my face. Like it or not, I was the one who could take more damage. And I usually took point anyway; years of working bounties alone made it a tough habit to break.
He was still good to work with. It was just like old times. Only everything had changed.
I eased around the corner, hugging the wall. Extended my awareness a little, just a very little, feeling the pulse thunder in my wrists and forehead; the warehouse was magshielded and had a basic corporate security net, but Bulgarov had just walked right in like he owned the place. Not a good sign. He might have bought a short-term quickshield meant to keep him from detection by psions or security nets. Just what I'd expect from the tricky bastard.
Concentrate, Danny. Don't get cocky because he's not a psion. He's dangerous and augmented.
My right hand cramped again, pointlessly; it was getting stronger the more I used it. Three days without sleep, tracking Bulgarov through the worst sinks in North New York Jersey, taxed even my endurance. Jace could fall asleep almost instantly, wedged in a hover or transport seat while I crunched data or piloted. It had been a fast run, no time to catch our breath.
Two other bounty hunters-both normals, but with combat augments-had gone down trying to bring this guy in. The next logical choice had been to bring a psion in, and I was fresh from hunting a Magi gone bad in Freetown Tijuana. From one job to the next, with no time to think, perfect. I didn't want to think about anything but getting the next bounty collared.
I would be lying if I said the idea of the two extra murder charges and two of felony evading tacked onto Bulgarov's long list of indictments didn't bring a smile to my face. A hard, delighted grin, as a matter of fact, since it meant Bulgarov would face capital punishment instead of just filling a prison cell. I edged forward, reaching the end of the aisle; glanced up. Nothing in the rafters, but it was good to check. This was one tricky sonofabitch. If he'd been a psion it would have made things a little easier, I could have tracked the smears of adrenaline and Power he'd leave on the air when he got tired enough. As it was, the messy sewer-smelling drift of his psychic footprint faded and flared maddeningly. If I dropped below the conscious level of thought and tried to scan him, I'd be vulnerable to a detonation circuit in a quickshield, and it wasn't like this guy not to have a det circuit built in if he spent the credit for a shield. I could live without the screaming migraine feedback of cracking a shield meant to keep a normal from a psion's notice, thank you very much.
So it was old-fashioned instinct doing the work on this one. Is he heading for an exit or sitting tight? My guess is sitting tight in a nice little cubbyhole, waiting for us to come into sight, pretty as you please. Like shooting fish in a barrel. Sekhmet sa'es, he better not have a plasgun. He didn't. I'm almost sure he didn't.
Almost sure wasn't good enough. Almost sure, in my experience, is the shortest road to oh fuck.
Jace's aura touched mine, the spiked honey-pepper scent of a Shaman rising around me along with the cloying reek of dying human cells. I wished I could turn my nose off or tone it down a little. Smelling everyone's death on them was not a pleasant thing, even if I, of all people, know Death is truly nothing to fear.
Whenever I thought about it, the mark on my shoulder seemed to get a little colder.
Don't fucking think about that, Danny. Nice and cautious, move it along here.
A popping zwing! made me duck reflexively, calculating angles even as I berated myself for flinching. Goddammit, if you heard the shot it didn't get you, move move move! He's blown cover, you know where he is now! I took off, not bothering to look behind me-Jace's aura was clear, steady, strong. He hadn't been hit.
More popping, clattering sounds. Reactive paint sprayed as I moved, blurringly, much faster than a normal human. My gun holstered itself as I leapt, claws extending sweetly, naturally, my right hand giving a flare of pain I ignored as I dug into the side of a plastic barrel, hurling myself up, get up, and from there I leapt, feet smacking the smooth round tops of the barrels. My rings spat golden sparks, all need for silence gone. The racks holding the barrels swayed slightly as I landed and pushed off again, little glowing spits and spats of thick reactive paint spraying behind me as lead chewed the air. He's got a fucking semiautomatic assault rifle up there, sounds like a Transom from the chatter, goddamn cheap Putchkin piece of shit, if he had a good gun he'd have hit me by now.
I was almost under the floating panel of a hover platform. Its underside glowed with reactive paint, and I could see the metal cage on top where the operator would guide the AI deck through manipulating the dangling tentacles of crabhooks to pick up five racks at a time and transport them to the staging area. A low, indistinct male shape crouched on the edge of the platform, orange bursts showing from the muzzle of the semiautomatic rifle with the distinct Transom shape. He wasn't aiming at me now, he was aiming behind me at Jace, and this thought spurred me as I gathered myself and leapt, fingers sinking into the edge of the platform's corrugated metal and arms straining, the deadweight of my body becoming momentum as I pulled myself up as easily as if I were muscling up out of a swimtank. Almost overbalanced, in fact, still not used to the reflex speed of this new body, proprioception still a little off, moving through space faster than I thought I was.
Don't hit Jace, you motherfucker, or I'm going to have to bring you in dead and accept half my fee. Don't you dare hit him, you piece of shit.
Gun barrel swinging, deadly little whistles as bullets clove the air. A smashing impact against my belly and another against my ribcage; then I was on him, smacking the barrel up. Hot metal sizzled, a jolt of pain searing up my arm from the contact, then faded as my body coped with the damage. He was combat-augmented, with reactions quicker than the normal human's, but I'd been genetically altered by a demon, and no amount of augmentation could match that.
At least, none that I'd come across yet.
I tore the Transom away and grabbed his wrist in my cramping right hand, setting my feet and yanking sharply down. An animal howl and a crunch told me I'd dislocated his shoulder. Fierce enjoyment spilled through me, the emerald on my cheek giving one sharp flash, the kia burst from my lips as I struck, hard; ringed fist ramming into the solar plexus, pulling the strike at the last moment so as not to rupture fragile human flesh. My rings turned my fist into a battering ram, psychic and physical power wedded to a strike that could kill as well as daze. The oof! sound he made might have been funny if I hadn't felt hot blood dripping down my ribs and the slight twitching as a bullet was expelled from the preternatural flesh of my belly. Ouch. It stung, briefly, then smoothed itself out, black blood rising and sealing the seamless golden flesh. Another shirt ruined. I was racking up dead laundry by the ton now.
Of course, I could afford it. I was rich, wasn't I?
Knee coming up, he struggled, but he was off balance and I shifted my weight, hip striking as I came in close, he fell and I was on him; he howled as I yanked both arms behind his back, my fingers sinking into rubbery, augmented muscle fed by kcals of synthprotein shake and testos injections. Gonna have to pop that shoulder back in so he can't shimmy free of magcuffs. You've got him down, don't get cocky. This is the critical point. Just cuff him, don't get fancy. He bucked, but I had a knee firmly in his back and my own weight was not inconsiderable, heavy with denser bones and muscle now. The quickshield sparked and struggled, trying to throw me off; it was a sloppy, hastily purchased piece of work-all right for hiding, but no good when you had an angry Necromance on your back. One short sharp Word broke it, my sorcerous Will slicing through the shell of energy-a Magi's work, and a good one, despite being so hurried. I snapped the mental traces aside, taking a good lungful of the scent; maybe we could track down whoever did the quickshield, maybe not. They hadn't done anything illegal in providing the shield; quicks were perfectly legal all the way around. But a Magi this good might have something to say about demons, something I'd want to hear.
"Jace?" I called into the warehouse's gloom. The sharp smell of reactive paint bloomed up, mixing with dust, metal, the smell of human, hot cordite, sweat, and my own spiced fragrance, a light amber musk. Sometimes my own smell acted like a shield against the swirling cloud of human decay all around me, sometimes not; it wasn't the psychic nonphysical smell of a true demon, but the scent of something in-between. "Monroe? How you doing?" Jace? Answer me, he was aiming at you, answer me! My voice almost cracked, stroking the air with rough honey. My throat was probably permanently ruined from Lucifer's fingers sinking in and cracking little bits of whatever almost-demons had in their necks. I sounded like a vidsex operator sometimes.
Apparently I could heal from bullets, but demon-induced damage to my throat was another thing entirely.
"You're so much fun to hang out with, Valentine," he called from below. I tried not to feel the hot burst of relief right under my ribs. The bitter taste of another hunt finished exploded in my mouth, my heart thudding back to a slower pace. My left shoulder prickled numbly, as if the fluid mark scored into my skin was working its way deeper. Don't think about that. "Got him?"
Of course I've got him, you think I'd be talking if I didn't? "Stuffed and almost cuffed. See if you can find the control panels and bring this sucker to the loading dock, will you?" My lungs returned to their regular even task. My tone resumed its normal, whispering roughness. Most Necromances affect a whisper after a while; when you work with Power wedded to your voice it's best to speak softly. "You okay?"
He gave a short jagged spear of a laugh, he was rubbed just as raw as I was. "Right as rain, baby. Get you in a second."
My right hand clumsily fumbled for the magcuffs. Bulgarov mumbled a curse in some consonant-filled Putchkin dialect. "Shut up, waste." I sank my knee into his heaving back. Short squat man, corded with heavy muscle and dressed in a long-sleeved shirt and jeans under his assassin's rig, a long rat-tail of pale hair sliding out from under the kerchief he'd tied around his head like a kid playing minigang. "Unlucky day for you."
The magcuffs cooperated, and I had to hold him down while I popped his shoulder back into the socket with a meaty sound, eliciting a hoarse male scream. The cuffs creaked but held steady, and just to be sure I dug in my bag and retrieved the magtape, spent a few moments binding the bastard's elbows, knees, and ankles; I gagged him too. I was ready when the hover platform's control board lit up, I kept the man down and watched him cautiously while the platform jolted into life and began to glide on its prearranged path. Bulgarov had escaped last year from a seven-person Hegemony police unit that had him down and cuffed; I didn't want to underestimate him.

PB/Urban Fantasy: Book 2 of the Dante Valentine series.This book was a poor sequel to the first book "Working For The Devil".
Even though she has more cash than she can ever spend, she didn't quit her day job, bounty hunting. This series takes place in the future so it's like a anti-Stephanie Plum in an Eve Dallas setting, oh yeah, with demons.
Dante gets a job by the police and she and her sidekick Jace go off to solve some murders. Sounds good....well, it's not.
The first part of the book was how Dante lives her life without Japhrimel. I had to fast forward over her massage therapy and fight training to get over her depression. There is constant references to Japhrimel, her aching shoulder, she never has to work again, and her immortality. By the time we get to the morgue, I tired. The author constantly has one piece of dialog with two or three paragraphs of a description of how what the person said made Dante feel. OMG: I had to start skipping paragraphs and start looking for quotation marks to find an answer to a simple question. There was no real dialog or banter. I hated it. Then when Japhrimel does show up, it sounds like he may be a apparition of her mind. I LOVED THE FIRST BOOK SO MUCH! What happened? The first book had a better plot, betrayal, lust, and a hole lot of Lucifer.

This book was a must read!! After reading Working For The Devil it was a must to read this. I am so in love with Japh. And Dante is a work of art. I felt as if i was in a movie and Dante and I was in this together.

I agree, if you have not read Working for the Devil which is the first book in the series, you have to start there. You won't fully appreciate the story if you don't. I'd read my way through all of the available Anita Blake and Princess Meredith books by Hamilton and was hungry for a good read, so I took a chance on Working for the Devil and was immediately hooked! Dante Valentine is a Necromance-for-hire, but it's a whole different take and world. Demons, the Devil and a post semi-apocalyptic world - it's a fun ride!!

The second book in the fabulously addicting Dante Valentine series that started with Working For The Devil, this book captures everything one could ask for in a dark fantasy: magic, action, romance and attitude. With characters that are at once easy to relate to and larger than life, and a voice that is full of sharp wit, Dead Man Rising is as good as it gets! If your looking for a book with Demons, Necromancers and Shamans (oh, my) or simply an immersive story that is impossible to put down, look no farther, you¿ve found it! In this series, I would say, it¿s almost imperative you read in order, other than that, the only done side is the next one doesn¿t come out until September. Enjoy!Was this review helpful?

Before I say anything about how incredible this book is, I insist you read the first book in this series, WORKING FOR THE DEVIL, to set the stage for the characters involved, their background stories, and the questions left unanswered at the end of that first book. This is important, because it makes DEAD MAN RISING even more satisfying, since every cliffhanger from WORKING FOR THE DEVIL is satisfied completely by this second book in the Dante Valentine series, which picks up after the first one without skipping a beat. The only warning I would give is that this second book is much more violent than the first one, but that is in keeping with its plot. I would also recommend DEAD MAN RISING to anyone struggling with childhood ghosts from an abusive or dysfunctional past. Danny also struggles with this issue, and the way in which she finally resolves and overcomes the pain of these childhood memories would be very helpful, I think, for anyone dealing with a painful past. I would love to say more, but can't without giving away any of the surprises in the book, and there are many. I can say the writing, plotting, and characterization are superb. Lilith Saintcrow is truly a masterful novelist, and this series is my favorite in the urban fantasy genre. Read it and see for yourself. You won't be disappointed. I'm hopelessly hooked and can't wait for the next Valentine book!Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Necromance Dante ¿Danny Valentine¿ goes from one bounty job to another knowing not to remember the death of her lover, the fallen demon Japhrimel. He is fallen because he had tied himself to a human female and to save her life he turned her into a half demon who is almost invulnerable, doesn¿t age, is beautiful beyond anything human and has black on her aura. Her ex-lover Jace, who walked out on her years ago, is back in her life a Shaman who works with her and lives in her home waiting for the day she will turn to him as a lover. --- Danny¿s running comes to a halt when her closest friend, a police detective and Necromance asks for her help on a case where psionics are being tortured and killed in a similar manner. Their wards were penetrated from the inside and they all went to the magic school for orphans Rigger Hall, run by an abusive sexual predator, the same school Dante went to as a child. She must find the link that binds the victims but in doing so she puts herself and those she loves in danger. --- Readers who love the works of Charlaine Harris, Laurel K. Hamilton and Kim Harrison will be totally bewitched by DEAD MAN RISING as Lilith Saintcrow is one of the best urban fantasists writing today. Her characters are well drawn and totally realistic and her heroine is a strong woman with powerful magic who wonders if she is still human even while she grieves the death of her demon lover and feels guilty for not being able to love Jace the way he needs her to. --- Harriet KlausnerWas this review helpful?

She is THE Dante 'Danny' Valentine, world-class Necromance who retired at the top of her game after a hush-hush bounty hunt that nobody can dig up any information on except for the Nuevo Rio Mob War. (Previous book 'Working For the Devil'.) She was genetically altered by a Fallen demon, Japhrimel 'Japh'. Danny still has the mark upon her left shoulder, where Lucifer made Japh her familiar. No one would have ever believed it had they been informed that there was one thing that terrified Dante almost to the brink of death - Rigger Hall. ................. Until the age of thirteen, Dante had her caseworker, Lewis. When he died, Dante's life became a living nightmare. She was a collared girl pushed into the Hegemony Psi program. An orphan sent into Rigger Hall. Headmaster Mirovitch ruled Rigger Hall with an iron fist. No one knew he was a Feeder. He was well-camouflaged. The school was his private playground filled with disposable psions. ................... To keep her sanity, Danny has blocked out everything about that time. But now psychics all over are being brutally murdered. The school is the only link. Dante must face her past or there may not BE a future. ................. Things get even worse when Lucifer calls her. He is looking for Dante's lover - the one he has already killed. As strange as that sounds, Danny has no time or urge to contemplate the Devil's lies. She has no idea which fiend or friend to trust. Her time is running out, in more ways than one. .................... ***** Almost as excellent as the first. Readers who pay close attention will (sometimes) see some clues as to what will happen in Dante's near future. Since Dante is secondarily gifted with precognition, I thought these flashes to be a brilliant addition to the story. BRAVA! Author Lilith Saintcrow fleshes out her main characters even more in this novel. Danny was made even more believable to me when I learned that she actually has some flaws. New characters are introduced as well. Danny makes some powerful new friends that may come in handy during the next episode. On that note, according to the teaser chapter at the end of this story, the next Dante Valentine novel will be released in July 2007 and titled 'The Devil's Right Hand'. Highly recommended reading! *****Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

The Afghan Embassy is in constant touch with the family
Family glued to television to catch up with some news
MANGALORE: No news sometimes can be good news. But not for the Sarangs residing at Sarang House at Suralpady near here, which is desperate for some news on the fate of their abducted son, Sarang Mohammad Naeem.
The 39-year-old electrical engineer was abducted by an unknown group in Herat province of Afghanistan on Monday along with a Nepali colleague of his. There is no news on the fate of these kidnapped men.
Nissar Ahmad, uncle of Mr. Naeem, told The Hindu over phone from Mumbai that the Afghan Embassy was in constant touch with the family over phone.
"The Embassy has assured us that they are doing their best to trace the whereabouts of Mr. Naeem and other person abducted with him," he said. Asserting that they have not received anything in writing, he said all that the family has got so far is verbal assurances from authorities.
Confirming this development, Basheer Ahmad Baji, a relative of Mohammad Hussain Sarang, father of Mr. Naeem, told The Hindu that the company for which Mr. Naeem worked has also assured the family of his safety. "Sunil Shetty, managing director of HEB International Logistics, has spoken with Mr. Hussain over phone and assured us that the company is doing everything for his release," he said.
Zahoor, a relative of Mr. Naeem said the family is glued to television sets in the hope of catching up with some news of their abducted family member. Mr. Basheer said local leaders including the Congress candidate from Mangalore North Assembly constituency Moideen Bava and Ganjimath gram panchayat president Abdul Majeed visited the family.

the same as Buckeye, I look out the wheelhouse window and note the cloud formations, whether the barometer is steady, falling or rising. Check the wind and its direction and the sea state. All of this will give you the weather for the next few hours.
And if there are indicators of change I will check either the VHF WX or the SSB WX.
But looking out the window works for me...Mainly because no matter what the weather, if it isn't beyond the safety margin of working offshore, we go out and do our jobs. This is for the work boats of the oilfields.

Economy, study chair 6/19/2014
Overall looks study enough for average weight person. The surface of seat and back also feels good. Lack of enough flexibility on the back, and not enough support to low back.
Not bad 2/20/2014RedRum from Huntersville, NC
The chair looks good and is quite sturdy. From starting to unpack the box it arrived in to getting it assembled took about 25 mins. Instructions are not grade A1 but its not difficult. Hardest part was attaching the arm rests to the back/seat as they do not line up to the screw holes exactly and you have to apply a bit of pressure to get the bolts in the holes (make sure you get the armrests on the correct side) . Once you get past that its just a question of slotting in the base and top.
Best bang for the money! 5/7/2013
Love this item. Very comfortable and looks very professional. It doesn't come with assembly instruction so brace yourself. Assembly was pretty straight forward though, overall I'm very happy with my purchase.
Excellent value 4/25/2013Fred from Irvine, CA
The chair is easy to assemble. All the tools were included. Instruction is very clear.
The leather is very smooth and soft. It can use mire cushioning though
Attractive modern design, solid leather fabric.
This chair is GREAT!!! 5/8/2012
A few points...the chair I received said maximum weight 300 lbs., so if you're around the 250 level, I think you're ok...I'm far from mechanically inclined and had it put together in a half hour...some of the pieces are tight fits but I think it's designed that way for the stability...chair is VERY nice; firm without rigidity. If you're thinking about buying a more expensive chair, I would save the money and go with this. Great quality and even more so at this price point.

A Day of Travel
After four hundred miles and about seven hours of driving we landed in Mosinee, WI. This park is like no other we've camped in! Being Labor Day weekend the 400 site campground is packed; there is a DJ at the pavilion about 300 feet from us! kids on bikes everywhere, golf carts zipping around, lots of beers being consumed and did I mention, we are next to the main road and boat ...
Last Night in the States
I am mostly writing this first entry to get the hang of this nifty little blogging contraption, but also as a way to focus my thoughts as I am coming to the realization that I am in fact leaving the country tomorrow. Oh geeze.
My procrastination could persist no longer and I had to stop avoiding the daunting task that is packing. My parents helping me also motivated me to ...
It's almost time!
Well it's about that time, all packed up and ready to fly out tomorrow! I somehow managed to pack everything into my pack and a carryon suitcase- just hoping I'm under the 50 pound limit and that I can lift my suitcase into the overhead compartment (that's my biggest fear). Mom is being surprisingly calm, except she made me bring two purses to be "safe" and modeled how to wear the unsafe purse correctly….. But I can't complain, I'd say ...
Lunch in Owen, Wisconsin
Pleasant Wisconsin roads. Stopped in town of Owen, had picnic as lots of bread, summer sausage and cheese in cooler.
Anna then drove -- didn't stop again until reached border -- where Mississippi and St Croix rivers join, so crossed Mississippi twice except the first was actually St Croix River. [At Prescott, Wisconsin and Hastings, Minnesota]
Very hot -- above 90 and humid. Had 2nd stop just across St Croix, possibly Lake Rebecca Park.
Time with grandkids
Hi everyone, I have had two great days with my grandchildren, Matt, Alayna, and Michael. Yesterday we did a tie-dye project. Each one had two t-shirts to dye: one using the wet method and one using the dry method. It was unanimous that the wet method worked better. While they were doing their t-shirts, I was busy doing onesies for grandson, Tyler. They all turned out ...

Energy and Power Subcommittee to Examine President's Climate Plan in Mid-September
WASHINGTON, DC – The Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Energy and Power, chaired by Rep. Ed Whitfield (R-KY), today announced it will hold a hearing next month to examine the administration's current and planned climate change activities, including the actions identified in the President's Climate Action Plan. The hearing, entitled "The Obama Administration's Climate Change Policies and Activities," will be held on Wednesday, September 18, 2013, at 10:00 a.m. in room 2123 of the Rayburn House Office Building.
On August 6, 2013, the subcommittee sent requests to 13 federal agencies seeking witnesses to testify at the hearing. In the letter to each of the agencies, Chairman Whitfield wrote, "At the hearing, we seek to hear from relevant Federal agencies about U.S. climate change policies and the administration's second term climate agenda, and to obtain fuller information regarding the Federal government's past, current, and planned domestic and international activities, climate research programs, initiatives, and new regulatory requirements." He also requested that the agencies provide specific information relating to various aspects of climate change activities in the submitted testimony from each agency.
The subcommittee requested testimony from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of the Interior, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Defense, the Department of State, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Export-Import Bank of the U.S., the Office of Science and Technology, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Additional hearing details, a list of witnesses, as well as the Majority Memorandum will be available here as they are posted.

About City Tyres
These tyres are designed to meet the rigours of city/trail riding and will fit Hybrid styled bikes, they are wider than a road race tyre to offer a larger contact area with the road and will provide more comfort. Wider tyres are less prone to punctures and will provide more grip. Within this range we offer semi slick or knobbly tyres, the semi slick tyres will be ideal for road use and the knobbly style will provide more grip for light trail use or loose surfaces such as gravel.
About the Schwalbe brand
For over 70 years Schwalbe have dominated the two wheeled tyre industry in Germany and Europe, being voted best MTB tyre brand in Germany for the past two years. From the very early beginnings where the company founder, Earnest-Wilhelm Bohle capitalised on the developing cycle industry, to the ultra modern distribution facility near Cologne, Schwalbe have continued to design and manufacture some of the finest bicycle tyres available. Schwalbe's success is due in part to the effort it makes in product development from lab tests at the manufacturing facility to the hardest proving grounds of all, professional cycle racing. 'Team Gerolsteiner' achieved a very creditable 7th place overall in the 2004 Tour de France and the unique performance of team captain Davide Rebellin winning three major classic races back to back using Schwalbe tyre. Other notable succeses include Normann Stadler winning the infamous Ironman triathlon in Hawaii, riding Schwalbe Stelvio tyres.

Product Q & A
Ask your questions and share your answers.
I currently have standard schwalbe marathon 32.s, do you think supreme 28.s would be suitable for loaded touring say 11kg?
I don't tour, but I do long rides, and my rolling weight is at least 120Kg. Compared to my old Marathon 35mm, Marathon Supreme 28mm are much more supple, so less vibration, faster, smoother.
On the down side, more prone to flats, and more vulnerable to low pressure. I always check my tire pressure before heading out, and always ride at lease 90psi.
can 700X28C fit shimano RS20 road bike rim?
will these tyres fit the current wheel rims: Shimano RS20?

Funding direct to the local government that would need to police the areas to protect them from illegal logging makes the most sense. Otherwise, it will always cause disputes amongst locals between the 'haves' & 'have nots'. If government departments in the areas have a financial incentive to enforce protection, (i.e. if they fail, the money being received is lost), then it would surely bring more compliance. A huge amount of the deforestation is illegal logging, which is hardly ever policed or prosecuted. Unfortunately, it's often wealthy corporate financial backers from first-world countries, that are funding the rapacious destruction of these areas, whilst magnificent wildlife like the orangutan, is subjected to horrific cruelty & brought to the edge of extinction, & local tribal villagers are driven out of their ancestral homelands, as the juggernaut of greed & plunder rolls ever-onward.

Liverpool icon Fowler convinced Gerrard, Torres will stay
Liverpool icon Robbie Fowler remains confident Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres will stay at Anfield.
Fowler, now playing in Australia with Perth Glory, is desperate for the good times to return to Anfield.
He told Sky Sports: "I want Liverpool to be the number one club in the world.
"Obviously the current owners have put the club up for sale and for the life of me I can't think why there's no takers just yet.
"You always want the best players and as far as I'm concerned Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres are the best players.
"I hope they stay and I can't see them leaving to be honest. I mean they've both come out on record saying how much they love the club and that's good enough for me."

As booking agent for the Eric Paslay concert held at the Coalfield Jamboree on February 22 2014, I wanted to take a moment to thank the community for the nice welcome.
First, I wanted to praise the theater and staff and the Coalfield Jamboree. The citizens of Logan are lucky to have such a nice, well maintained, and historic working theater in your community. Everyone there was extremely helpful.
During the afternoon before the show, we walked around downtown and visited a few of the shops. We noted how nice everyone we met was. The hospitality of the shop owners and locals was extremely nice and friendly. Everyone in the band, including Eric Paslay, felt right at home and enjoyed the Logan experience.
We want to thank those who came out and enjoyed the show. The local talent that appeared was outstanding! The event coordinator Teddy Murphy Jr. did a wonderful job organizing the event. The entire event and day was outstanding.
We hope to be back someday in Logan, and as an agent, I hope to have the opportunity to work with Teddy and the Coal Field Jamboree in the future.
Thank you for a great day in Logan!

Anyone use this or even heard of it? My stylist swears this will help my summer sun dried hair. Wen is just not doing it this year. She said the color is dark because of the squid ink but it won't hurt my blonde highlights. This is returnable if I don't like it but I'm hoping someone else has been my guinea pig. What did you think of it?
eeks...never even heard of it; just the name alone would probably deter me from ever even picking up the bottle if I saw it in a store! My stylist recently started using a line called Keune so I just bought some of the color care shampoo/conditioner to try for myself. I usually use alterna but my hair always turns out so nice when she does it I thought I'd give it a go.
Can't help but wonder...how do they get that squid ink for salon/beauty products anyway?
Squid milking? Squid farming?
lol. I can't imagine.....
Ewwwwwwww!! Squid milking? Squid farming? (hysterical).
Hair is dead keratin...dead, the most we can hope to do is coat it with chemicals that make it feel healthy. I hate when a so called professional hairstylist makes claims about a product. No product can heal your hair.
I vented there for a moment, please excuse me.
light / medium... graying hair, 52 yr old, dry skin.
How about squid squishing? These products are from Korea and they said they got held up two weeks in customs. Ingredients include the normal sulfates, parabens, and a long form of silicone. Also a bunch of methyl somethings. I'm asking my pharmacist friend to OK this before I put it on my head. I am normally ho hum about the salon product lines she has carried over the years, but she and her sister really raved about this one.
Wow you are one brave woman to try it.....let us know what you think and if it smells "squid-y"...heehee, squid squeezing farms....heehee.....
i looked at the product's website. interesting stuff.
A hot oil treatment will do the same thing, I'm sure............
Sounds really interesting. Love squid ink but never tried it in my hair!
If it doesn't work out as a shampoo, can you make a little risotto with it?
Squid squirt ink when they are in danger, it's their magic trick, by the time the ink clears, they are long gone.
Grandpa made head cheese in the basement, but I didn't feel compelled to EAT it..........

Yes, they do. But they live in salt water and it would still be difficult collecting 'pure' squid ink mixed in with the salt water for use in anything. Hence the reference to 'farming' [like cat fish farming] and 'milking'. I can't imagine how they do it if not by those methods!
Yeah, I was trying to be funny about it, but seriously...how do they do that [get the pure ink]. Pick them up out of the water, go boo! and scare them so they squirt pure ink? lol.

Marlins' right-hander Johnson to have Tommy John surgery
August 2nd, 2007
Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Florida Marlins right-hander Josh Johnson will undergo season-ending "Tommy John" surgery on Friday and will miss the remainder of the season.
Johnson, who is facing a recovery period of 12 to 18 months, made just four starts for Florida this year after tying for the team lead with 12 wins in 2006.
He was 0-3 with a 7.47 ERA in just 15 2/3 innings this season.
Johnson opened the season on the disabled list due to an irritated ulnar nerve. He was activated on June 18, but was ineffective in four starts before heading back to the DL on July 5 with what the team called a "right forearm strain."
Johnson then tossed three scoreless innings in a rehab assignment for Class A Jupiter on July 25, but had continued discomfort in the elbow. He was examined by team physician Dr. Dan Kanell on July 26, before a visit with renowned surgeon Dr. James Andrews confirmed the need for ligament replacement surgery.
Johnson is the second Florida pitcher to undergo surgery in the past two months. Anibal Sanchez, who tossed a no-hitter last season, had a torn labrum in his right shoulder operated on in June.

Notes from Thursday's games
August 2, 2007
BALTIMORE: RF Nick Markakis' error Thursday was his first since last Aug. 15, a span of 148 games. ... Jeremy Guthrie remained unbeaten in four starts. He allowed three runs on nine hits and a season-high four walks in 5 1-3 innings, striking out three. He is 5-0 with a 2.51 ERA on the road. ... Brian Roberts has a nine-game hitting streak.
BOSTON: LF Manny Ramirez drove in the 1,585th run of his career, passing Rogers Hornsby and Harmon Killebrew and moving into 32nd place. ... RF J.D. Drew was a late scratch from the Boston lineup and was replaced by Eric Hinske. Drew ran for Hinske in the seventh. ... The Red Sox shifted their rotation so Josh Beckett will start on Sunday and Curt Schilling will return from the DL on Monday. ... RHP Tim Wakefield has a decision in all 22 starts this season. Pitching on his 41st birthday, he earned his 150th win with Boston. ... Eric Gagne's No. 83 is the second-highest uniform number ever issued by the team. J.T. Snow wore No. 84 last year.
TEXAS: Eric Gagne's trade to Boston has left the Rangers without a closer, but not without candidates for the job. For now, manager Ron Washington will use a combination of LHP C.J. Wilson and RHP Joaquin Benoit to finish games. Wilson has gone 2-for-2 in save tries since Gagne was dealt. ``He has come in and pounded the strike zone,'' Washington said. Wilson hasn't given up a run in his last 10 outings (9 1-3 innings) with 12 strikeouts. ... The Rangers have been shut out six times. ... SS Michael Young went 2-for-4 with a double in Thursday's loss and is batting .443 (27-for-61) with seven RBIs in his last 14 games. ... Since starting the season 9-24 on the road, the Rangers are 12-11 away from Arlington, Texas.
CLEVELAND: Travis Hafner, stuck in a season-long slump, was rested Thursday as the Indians faced a left-handed starter. On Wednesday, Hafner was dropped to fifth in the batting order as manager Eric Wedge tried something new to shake his DH out of a funk. Hafner came into the series finale in a 6-for-43 slide and is batting just .223 since April 23. ``I just have not been as consistent as I need to be,'' said Hafner, who signed a $57 million contract extension last month. ``It's frustrating when you miss pitches that you know you should handle, pitches that I've handled in the past.'' ... OF Grady Sizemore found himself in a new location: the bench. With Hafner out, Wedge used Sizemore as his DH for the first time this season. ``It's different,'' Sizemore said. ``It's nothing I'm accustomed to. I tried to find ways to stay in the game. I went back and rode the bike so I wouldn't be pacing in the dugout.''
CHICAGO: By the end of Thursday's 13-9 win over New York, manager Ozzie Guillen was down to a spare catcher on his bench, having replaced three fielders already. DH Jim Thome left due to back spasms, 3B Alex Cintron had an upset stomach and Darin Erstad hurt himself when he fell down after hitting the ball on a fly out to center. He had leg cramps, and could play Friday in Detroit, as could Cintron. Guillen said Thome would rest. ``The bullpen did a tremendous job and I'm glad it ended when it did,'' Guillen said. ``I didn't have anybody left on the bench. ... Jermaine Dye, who had had two homers and two doubles for the first game of his career with four extra-base hits, has nine HRs since the All-Star break. He went 4-for-5 Thursday to raise his average since the break to .379. ... The White Sox bullpen, which entered Thursday with an ERA of 5.92, pitched 7 2-3 innings and allowed just one run. ... Chicago was outscored in the series 33-17.
NEW YORK: The Yankees hit .348 (39-for-112) in three games against the White Sox, and had 15 homers. ... Alex Rodriguez has been cheered wildly every time he came to the plate, even before he ended a career-long streak of 22 hitless at_bats with an RBI single in the second. ``The fans have been awesome,'' Rodriguez said. ... Wilson Betemit did Shelley Duncan one better. While Duncan homered three times in his first two games with the Yankees, Betemit did it in his first at bat. A day after making his debut at 3B in the ninth inning, Betemit started at SS in place of Derek Jeter, and homered his first time up. Naturally, he got a curtain call. ... C Jorge Posada was hurt in a collision at the plate with Danny Richar to end the eighth. He was removed for Jose Molina in the bottom half, but said he was fine and would most likely play Friday.
LOS ANGELES: IF Erick Aybar began an injury rehab assignment with Salt Lake. He played five innings and went 1-for-4 with an RBI. ... RHP Ervin Santana continues to progress with Salt Lake. He got the win Wednesday night despite allowing six runs on 13 hits in six innings, with seven strikeouts and one walk. ``I know his linescore doesn't look great but he has to get out there,'' manager Mike Scioscia said. ``He has to re-establish that command with his fastball and then fold his other pitches in. It's a process. It's less mechanical than a confidence issue with Ervin. He needs to work through things. It hasn't been easy for him but he knows why he's there.'' ... Scioscia said there's a kind of rivalry between the Angels and A's, though it's not as intense as some around baseball. ``For a long time they've carried the banner of our division,'' said Scioscia, a member of the World Champion 1988 Los Angeles Dodgers that beat the A's in five games. ``We've had some recent success but they always seem to be there at the end.''
OAKLAND: 3B Eric Chavez was out of the lineup for the 14th time in the last 17 days. But there may be some good news. Manager Bob Geren said Chavez hit in the cage and performed other ``baseball activities.'' ... RHP Esteban Loaiza started his third game for Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday night, tossing a three-hitter over 4 2-3 innings with a walk and three strikeouts in his best effort yet. He threw 61 pitches. ``He did OK,'' Geren said. ``He still has to build up his velocity and his pitch count.'' Loaiza is scheduled to pitch for the RiverCats on Monday against the Oklahoma RedHawks. ... Friday night's promotion in Sacramento is ``Bob Geren Bobblehead Day,'' to the first 3,000 fans. ... LHP Lenny DiNardo is currently on the first winning streak of his career having won two straight decisions. ... Former A's All-Star RHP Dave Stewart presented OF Mark Kotsay with a community service award, named after Stewart, in a pre-game ceremony.
ST. LOUIS: RHP Joel Pineiro threw a sideline session Thursday in Pittsburgh and assuming he experiences no following difficulties, is on track to make his St. Louis debut Saturday in Washington. Pineiro joined the Cardinals on Wednesday a day after being acquired from the Red Sox organization for a player to be named and cash. ... OF Skip Schumaker tied for the second-best average among all NL players for July (.435) - but he was optioned to Triple-A on the first day of August to make room for Pineiro. ... August got off to an inauspicious start for the Cardinals with a 15-1 loss Wednesday. But St. Louis has the league's top winning percentage for August (.606) since 2000.
PITTSBURGH: RHP Matt Morris was spotted with a Pirates media guide after joining his new teammates Thursday. ``I just wanted to brush up on my history, you know?'' Morris said with a laugh. Morris was traded from the Giants, one of the more veteran teams in the majors, to Pittsburgh, a roster spotted with players without much experience. ``I've never been traded before so just to pack up and get to a new team and meet everybody, it's been kind of overwhelming,'' Morris said. ``You get a little more comfortable once you get into the clubhouse and start meeting the guys.'' Morris is scheduled to make his Pirates debut Saturday. ... Manager Jim Tracy would not commit to who would hold onto the fifth starter spot now that Morris has joined the team. RHP Tony Armas had a solid outing Wednesday and LHP Shane Youman allowed three runs in five innings on Thursday, and Tracy indicated one would be removed from the rotation and join the bullpen.
CINCINNATI: LHP Phil Dumatrait was recalled from Triple-A Louisville and started Thursday night in his major league debut. He's the seventh player to make his first big league appearance with the Reds in 2007. ... INF Juan Castro will have season-ending reconstructive right elbow surgery Tuesday. Castro has a partially torn ligament. He hopes to be ready to play by spring training.
WASHINGTON: RHP John Patterson played catch Thursday after returning from a trip to Toronto for some unorthodox treatment on a bothersome nerve in his pitching arm. ``I really just have one comment, and the comment is basically that I feel good. I feel great. It's the best I've felt in two years, and the treatment was a success,'' said Patterson, 1-5 with a 7.47 ERA. GM Jim Bowden said Patterson, on the DL since May 6, will head to Florida in the next week to continue his throwing program. ... 1B Nick Johnson, who hasn't played all season as he rehabs a broken right leg, worked out before Thursday's game. Manager Manny Acta said Johnson still has problems running. Asked whether he thinks Johnson will play in 2007, Bowden said: ``I can't answer that yet. I think he's making progress, and I know he's working hard.''
HOUSTON: RF Lance Berkman hit a two-run homer in the third inning, the fourth straight game that he has homered. ... RHP Brandon Backe made his first rehab start - Thursday night for Double-A Corpus Christi - since undergoing Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Sept. 7, 2006. ``He's looked good to me the whole while. His delivery looks good even though his control was off a little bit,'' manager Phil Garner said before his start. He hopes Backe can throw 30-40 pitches. Backe has a 19-14 career record with a 4.71 ERA. ... LHP Trever Miller has not allowed a run in his last 13 outings, a span of 10 1-3 innings. ... Before the game, Atlanta GM John Schuerholz and manager Bobby Cox presented a $3,000 check to Astros 2B Craig Biggio for his charity, ``Sunshine Kids.'' Biggio got his 3,000th hit earlier this season. ``We appreciate the way he played. We were glad to do it,'' said Schuerholz.
ATLANTA: The Braves, who released 1B Julio Franco on Wednesday, said they would like to have the 48-year-old him back in the organization as a coach or player-coach if another team does not pick him up. ... With the addition of 1B Mark Teixeira to the lineup, hitting fourth, manager Bobby Cox was asked how he liked his lineup. ``It's not going to go double figures (all the time). Some nights we're not going to score a bunch.'' Entering Thursday, the Braves had won three straight, scoring 38 runs. He also had 2B Kelly Johnson, a .297 hitter with 12 home runs and 56 RBIs in 101 games. ``I like him leading off or hitting second, but that's how it goes,'' Cox said. LF Willie Harris led off and was hitting .327 with a team-high 16 steals. Edgar Renteria is the No. 2 hitter and he's hitting .337. ... RHP Tim Hudson has pitched nine times this season following an Atlanta loss and the Braves have gone 8-1. Hudson is 6-0 with a 1.94 ERA in those games.
NEW YORK: The Mets purchased the contract of RHP Brian Lawrence from Triple-A New Orleans. A few hours later he was the winning pitcher in New York's 12-4 victory over the Brewers in his first major league appearance since Sept. 29, 2005. ... New York sent down catcher Mike DiFelice, who was brought up from New Orleans on July 26. ... Damion Easley drove in two runs with an inside-the-park home run in the sixth inning. The ball got by diving centerfielder Bill Hall and ricocheted off the wall to allow him to circle the bases. It was his second inside-the-park homer. Asked if he was tired afterward, the 37-year-old said. ``Yeah. That's a long run.''
MILWAUKEE: Even after losing 12-4 Thursday to the Mets, 1B Prince Fielder isn't worried about the slumping Brewers. Asked what needs to be changed, Fielder said, ``I don't think anything. I think we're playing fine, we're playing hard. That's all you can do.'' The club has lost 10 of its last 14 games to allow Chicago to replace Milwaukee atop the Central Division. ... 3B Ryan Braun was named NL Player of the Month for July after hitting 11 home runs and driving in 24 runs. He took rookie honors for the month to become the first player to ever win both monthly accolades.
PHILADELPHIA: Pat Burrell was 3-for-4 with his second homer of the series and he's feasted on Cubs' pitching this season: 11-for-23 with two doubles, four homers and seven RBIs. ... RHP Kyle Lohse wanted to give the second inning a try in his Phillies' debut after being hit with a line drive in the first. Then his forearm began to swell. ``It just kept getting bigger and bigger. It was like a golf ball or half a baseball,'' he said. ... The Phils got good production from the lower half of their order. Batters 6-9 went 11-for-18 with three doubles, a homer and three RBIs with nine runs scored. ... Lohse became the 26th pitcher used by the Phillies this season, one shy of the club record set in 2000. ... The Phillies won the season series with the Cubs 4-3.
CHICAGO: Rocky Cherry pitched a career-high 2 1-3 innings, allowing no runs and two hits and then was told after the game he was being optioned to Triple-A Iowa. His roster spot will be taken by RHP Kerry Wood, who will officially be activated off the DL before Friday's game. ... The Cubs' bullpen had thrown 21 2-3 innings of scoreless relief before Will Ohman gave up three runs in the ninth. ... Manager Lou Piniella is looking for some relief for his relievers, saying that his starters need to go longer into games. Sean Marshall lasted just 2 2-3 innings and Rich Hill didn't get out of the fifth on Wednesday night. ``We probably need Hill more than the other guys to kick it in and pitch deeper in these games,'' Piniella said. He said his bullpen is a bit spent with the Cubs in the middle of a stretch of 20 straight games without an off day.
ARIZONA: The D-Backs' top prospect, Justin Upton, was called up Thursday and made his big league debut when he came in to play right field in the eighth. He fouled out leading off the ninth. ... Upton, the No. 1 overall pick in the June 2005 draft, is scheduled to start in RF at Los Angeles on Friday. ... At 19 years, 342 days, he became the youngest player to appear in a game with the Diamondbacks. Edgar Gonzalez had been the youngest, at 20 years, 98 days on June 1, 2003.
SAN DIEGO: Wally Joyner arrived in San Diego at 1:30 a.m. Thursday after a 10-hour drive from Utah, got a little bit of sleep and then began his new job as the Padres' hitting coach. San Diego responded with four homers in the 11-0 win over Arizona. ``I haven't had an impact. I don't think the guys know I'm here yet,'' Joyner joked. ``As they started getting more hits, I got out farther and farther so people could see I was there. It's a great group of guys. I've known them with my time in spring training and I'm excited about having a chance to work with them.'' He replaced Merv Rettenmund, who was fired on Tuesday.
COLORADO: LHP Brian Fuentes (strained back) felt good following a bullpen session Wednesday in Denver and is scheduled for another session Saturday, manager Clint Hurdle said. ``That was a good step forward for him,'' Hurdle said. ... RHP Rodrigo Lopez (strained right flexor tendon) went on the DL Thursday, retroactive to July 27. ... Willy Taveras' three steals Wednesday were the most by a Colorado player since Juan Pierre had three on June 12, 2002. ... The 16 strikeouts by Rockies hitters were their most in a nine-inning game since they had 16 on May 22, 2003. The club record is 17.
FLORIDA: With an RBI single Wednesday, backup C Matt Treanor improved his average over his past 20 games to .375 (24-for-64). ``I don't want to be in the lineup just to be in the lineup,'' Treanor said. ``I want to contribute.'' ... The 16 strikeouts by Marlins pitchers were their most in a nine-inning game since July 21, 2002. The club record is 17.
SAN FRANCISCO: 2B Ray Durham (back tightness), INF Rich Aurilia (right hamstring strain) and 1B Ryan Klesko (sore lower back) all were held out of the starting lineup after sustaining the injuries on Wednesday. C Bengie Molina also sat out to rest. Manager Bruce Bochy hopes some of his beat-up players will return for Friday's series opener at San Diego. ... RHP Russ Ortiz is scheduled to leave Friday for his rehab start Saturday at Triple-A Fresno. He will go 75-80 pitches. The Giants haven't announced their starter for Saturday's game against the Padres, because the club must make a roster move to call up the starter. ... When the Dodgers' Mark Hendrickson and Giants rookie Tim Lincecum pitched for their clubs Wednesday night, it marked a former Washington State pitcher in Hendrickson and a Washington Husky in Lincecum. Both are natives of the state. ``It was the Apple Cup,'' Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully said with a smile.
LOS ANGELES: 2B Jeff Kent sat out his third straight game Thursday because of a strained hamstring. Manager Grady Little was doubtful about playing Kent on Friday when the Dodgers open a three-game series at San Diego. ``We're not going to put him back out there until there's no chance of re-injury,'' he said. ... RHP Scott Proctor made his debut in the seventh inning Wednesday night, tossing one pitch a day after being traded by the New York Yankees. ``We'll give him one more than one pitch before we judge him,'' Little said, smiling. ... 3B Nomar Garciaparra's two-run homer Wednesday gave him 54 RBIs, most in the NL among players with five homers or less and second-most in the majors behind Texas' Michael Young (58).
Re: MLB News and Notes August - 3
Baseball Today - August 3
Arizona at L.A. Dodgers (10:40 p.m. EDT). The NL West-leading Diamondbacks open a key series against the second-place Dodgers.
-Jermaine Dye, White Sox, homered twice and doubled twice, including a go-ahead drive that led the Chicago White Sox to a 13-9 victory over the New York Yankees.
- Jake Peavy and Morgan Ensberg, Padres. Peavy struck out 10 over seven scoreless innings to pass 1,000 for his career and Ensberg hit two two-run homers in an 11-0 rout of Arizona.
-Jayson Werth, Phillies, had three hits and four RBIs to help beat the Chicago Cubs 10-6.
-Ryan Zimmerman, Nationals, had three hits and drove in three runs, powering Washington past Cincinnati 7-3.
-David Wright, Mets, had four hits - including a home run - and New York beat Milwaukee 12-4.
-Jason Jennings, Astros, came through with a pinch-hit, two-out RBI single in the 14th inning to give Houston a 12-11 win over Atlanta.
This weekend's four-game series between Cleveland and Minnesota will be played as scheduled at the Metrodome, despite the fatal freeway bridge collapse near downtown on Wednesday night. The Twins postponed Thursday afternoon's game against Kansas City because of the disaster that occurred about a half-mile from the stadium.
The Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees each scored eight runs in the second inning of the White Sox's 13-9 win on Thursday. It was only the second time in major league history both teams scored eight or more in an inning. The first was on May 8, 2004, when visiting Detroit got eight and Texas had 10 in the fifth inning of the Rangers' 16-15, 10-inning win. The 16 runs combined were a record for a second inning, two more than the previous mark.
Jake Westbrook ended the longest winless stretch of his career just in time for slumping Cleveland, who stopped a four-game losing skid with a 5-0 victory over Texas on Thursday. Westbrook (2-6) picked up his first win since April 27 - a span of nine starts - by allowing five hits in six innings. ... After going 30 games without a homer, Vladimir Guerrero hit two in consecutive at-bats in the Los Angeles Angels' 6-4 victory over the Oakland Athletics. Guerrero ended the longest power dry spell of his career, which lasted 125 at-bats, with two tremendous shots into the bleachers in left-center field off Chad Gaudin. His last home run was on June 23, against Pittsburgh, but he won the Home Run Derby on July 9 as part of the All-Star game festivities.
Jake Peavy struck out 10 in San Diego's 11-0 win over Arizona on Thursday to become the second Padre to reach the 1,000-strikeout plateau. Peavy (1,004) joined Andy Benes (1,036) after reaching double digits in strikeouts for the fifth time this season and the 20th time in his career. The right-hander (11-5) leads the NL with 154 strikeouts.
Corey Hart homered twice and drove in three runs, but Milwaukee lost 12-4 to the Mets.
''You put up an 8-spot and they come right back and put up an 8-spot. It's weird.'' - Chicago slugger Jermaine Dye after the White Sox and Yankees scored eight runs each in the highest-scoring second inning in major league history. Dye homered twice and doubled twice, including a go-ahead drive that led Chicago to a 13-9 victory Thursday.

Phillies Rod Barajas goes on 15-day DL with groin injury
August 3, 2007
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -The Philadelphia Phillies placed backup catcher Rod Barajas on the 15-day disabled list Friday with a groin strain.
Barajas, 31, signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Phillies in the offseason, but has served primarily as the backup to the younger Carlos Ruiz. Chris Coste, who was recalled from the minors in June, has seen increased playing time at catcher.
Barajas has hit .214 in 43 games this season.
The Phillies called up right-hander Clay Condrey from Triple-A Ottawa to replace Barajas on the roster and transferred right-hander Francisco Rosario to the 60-day disabled list.
Barajas is the 13th Philly to spend time on the disabled list this season.
Re: MLB News and Notes August - 3
Braves option Reyes to Triple-A Richmond, recall Cormier
August 3, 2007
ATLANTA (AP) -The Atlanta Braves optioned rookie left-hander Jo-Jo Reyes to Triple-A Richmond and recalled right-hander Lance Cormier from the team following Thursday night's 12-11, 14-inning loss to the Houston Astros.
Reyes made five starts and was 0-1 with an 8.72 ERA. He gave up four hits and five runs in three innings Thursday night.
Cormier, who was 4-5 with a 4.89 ERA in 29 games with the Braves last season, opened this year on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right triceps. He was 0-2 with a 15.26 ERA in two starts over 7 2-3 innings with Atlanta earlier this season.
He was 5-3 with a 3.63 ERA for Richmond, Double-A Mississippi and Single-A Rome this season.
Re: MLB News and Notes August - 3
Cubs activate Wood
August 3rd, 2007
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - The Chicago Cubs activated right-handed pitcher Kerry Wood from the 60-day disabled list Friday.
The 30-year old Wood recently completed a minor league rehabilitation stint that saw him pitch in Mesa (Arizona Rookie League), Peoria (Midwest), and Tennessee (Southern). In his eight appearances, he went 1-1 with a 1.04 ERA in 8 2/3 innings pitched.
He is expected to be used primarily out of the bullpen for the Cubs.
Wood was initially placed on the 15-day disabled list to start the season because of tendinitis in his right shoulder. On May 15, Chicago transferred him to the 60-day disabled list.
Originally a first round pick of the Cubs in 1995, Wood was at one point a centerpiece of Chicago's starting rotation. But since going 8-9 in 22 starts in 2004, he has appeared in only 25 games due to a variety of injuries.
For his career, the Irving, Texas, native has compiled a 71-56 record and a 3.68 ERA. His 1,229 career strikeouts rank fifth on the Cubs' all-time list. From 1998 to 2003, Wood won at least 12 games four times, was the National League Rookie of the Year in 1998, and an All-Star in 2003.
On May 6, 1998, the then-rookie right-hander tied a Major League record by striking out 20 hitters in a shutout victory over the Houston Astros.
To make room for Wood, the Cubs optioned relief pitcher Rocky Cherry to Triple-A Iowa and transferred right-handed pitcher Angel Guzman to the 60-day disabled list in the process.
Cherry, a 27-year old rookie, was 1-1 with a 3.00 ERA in 12 relief appearances with the Cubs. He was optioned to Iowa of the Pacific Coast League after Thursday's loss to Philadelphia.
Guzman was placed on the 15-day disabled list June 6, retroactive to June 2, because of a right elbow strain. In three starts and twelve total outings with the Cubs this season, he was 0-1 with a 3.56 ERA.
Re: MLB News and Notes August - 3
Perez banned 80 games for 3rd positive test
Associated Press
Tigers infielder Neifi Perez was suspended for 80 games Friday after testing positive for a third time for a banned stimulant.
Perez was suspended for 25 games on July 6 when he tested positive for a second time. Under baseball's labor contract, a player who tests positive for the first time is sent for counseling.
Perez has been the only player suspended by baseball for stimulants since baseball banned them before the 2006 season.

Cygnet lights up fiery 'R&J'
Old Town production brings polish, power to inventive Shakespeare riff
At length in the 140-minute show (with one intermission), "R&J" settles so deeply into "Romeo and Juliet" that a playgoer can get restless for a little reminder of the overall framing device, although it's hard to fault for Calarco for erring on the side of giving Shakespeare his due.
Of course, we know what happens to R and J. But what about these actors' fates, when the book is put away?
"I dreamt ...," the student played by Daly says hopefully, wistfully, at the end.
But as Shakespeare's play itself has it: "Dreamers often lie."
"Shakespeare's R&J"
When: 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays-Thursdays; 8 p.m. Fridays; 3 and 8 p.m. Saturdays; 2 and 7 p.m. Sundays. Through June 16.
Where: Cygnet Theatre, 4040 Twiggs St., Old Town
Tickets: $44-$47 (discounts available)
Phone: (619) 337-1525

Help with Mariner Outboard
I bought a 1986 Potter 19 that came with a mariner 5hp 2-stroke outboard. I do not know if the motor is of the same vintage of the boat. Does anyone know if there is an easy way to tell if this is a pre or post 1990 motor? There are no Mercury markings anywhere, in fact the motor was made in Japan. The cover is grey.
Also, I have been able to get it running, though the idle seems high. I adjust the idle down and it seems fine, but then if I run up to higher rpms, the engine dies after trying to come back to idle. I know that the motor has not been run in the past 5 or so years. The engine was fogged prior to storage, and the plug is clean. Any suggestions to get this motor running reliably?
Thanks in advance!
