Although Lonestar sounds like a band that's from Texas, the group was actually formed in Tennessee. However, all the members are Texas natives. Originally called Texassee, the band was created in 1992 and features Richie McDonald, Michael Britt, Dean Sams and Keech Rainwater.
In 1993, Lonestar played their first concert at Backstage Pass in Nashville. A booking agent happened to hear the show and was impressed enough to add the group to his roster. Lonestar then headed out on the road, playing nearly 500 shows in two years.
In 1994, the group landed a recording contract with BNA Records. The following year they released their self-titled debut, which spawned the Top 10 hit "Tequila Talkin'." "Crazy Nights" followed in 1997, and two years later Lonestar returned with "Lonely Grill," which featured the huge hit "Amazed," a song that also crossed over to the pop charts.
Although there were some major changes in the years that followed -- John Rich, the group's bass guitarist, was fired in 1998 and McDonald left to embark on a solo career in 2007, but returned in 2011 -- the band has continued to churn out first-rate albums.
Their seasonal effort "This Christmas Time" followed in fall 2000 and "I'm Already There" appeared the next spring. In 2004, the group released "Let's Be Us Again," followed that next year by "Coming Home." "Mountains," their final album with BNA Records and with McDonald as the lead singer, came out in 2006. Cody Collins replaced McDonald in 2007, after which the band produced a Christmas compilation and the 2008 album "Party Heard Around the World."
McDonald just rejoined the lineup last year, in time to begin the band's extensive 20-year tour celebration. Plans are also in the works to record a new album to commemorate Lonestar's milestone at the end of 2012.
The quartet is best known for merging their country roots with rich vocals. Lonestar has amassed several awards -- including a 1999 Academy of Country Music award for Single of the Year (for "Amazed") and a 2001 Country Music Association award for Vocal Group of the Year.
With their long, prestigious career and stockpile of finely crafted songs, Lonestar continues to delight fans now -- and, hopefully, for another 20 years.
Don't miss your chance to catch this iconic country band perform at the Golden Nugget during their one-night Las Vegas concert engagement.

What Does Slash Think Of The 'New' Guns N Roses?
Slash has never really gone after the new players in his old band.
Slash has never really gone after the new players in his old band.
Too many.
Classic rock was everywhere during the series finale of 'The Office' last night (May 16), with Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue, Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty all contributing music to the show's climactic wedding.
The trailer for 'It's So Easy and Other Lies,' the wild and redemptive documentary tracing the rise and fall of former Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan, is now available online. You can watch it above.
"Love. It's the most powerful thing on the planet," says the soothing voice at the start of Johnson & Johnson's new commercial. "Love is family. Love is the reason you care for the tiny and the fragile," continues the narrator over sweet black-and-white shots of babies and their parents, and -- wait, is that Guns N' Roses' 'Sweet Child O' Mine' in the background?
One of just three copies of Axl Rose's 'Paradise City'-era white leather jacket, originally owned by the designer of the band's tour merchandise, has sold for a whopping $5,350 on eBay.
Some band breakups are more acrimonious than others. While some splits are rife with bitterness and lawsuits, others are just cases of musicians going their separate ways, amicably.
We always wonder what the chances of our favorite groups getting back together are; The Eagles famously said they'd reconvene when hell freezes over; then they reunited
In their first WNY appearance in over 20 years, legendary rockers Guns 'N Roses will make their return to Buffalo on Wednesday, June 5 at the Buffalo Outer Harbor.
Tickets are on sale now -- but you can be cheap like us and try to win them all this week (May 13-17).
Steven Adler's long-running battle with substance abuse continues, with the former Guns N' Roses drummer postponing a series of tour dates in order to enter rehab, but he's promised fans that he's determined to beat his addictions.

Researchers believe the injections of progesterone can increase survival rates by half and reduce side effects and long-term disabilities for victims of car crashes, violence and sporting accidents.
They believe the hormone, which naturally occurs during pregnancy and is used in oral contraceptives, appears to protect nerve cells from permanent damage in the aftermath of a severe injury.
This means they are less likely to lead to death or severe disability.
The treatment has proved so successful in early tests that it is going to final human trial and could be widely available within a decade.
"No new treatment for severe traumatic brain injury has been approved in over 30 years," said Professor David Wright, the study leader at Emory University in Atlanta told the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) conference in San Diego.
He said "We hope to conclude in this national trial that progesterone–along with standard medical trauma care–works better than standard medical care alone in reducing brain damage caused from a traumatic brain injury."
"Furthermore, we found signs that progesterone improved functional outcomes and reduced disability in patients with moderate brain injury.
It is estimated that across the UK there are around 500,000 people (aged 16 - 74) living with long term disabilities as a result of traumatic brain injury
A further 135,000 people are admitted to hospital each year with a severe brain injury and approximately half of deaths in people under 40 are due to traumatic brain injury
The researchers began testing progesterone after noticing that women seemed to recover better from major brain trauma than men.
In an earlier trial, doctors monitored 159 patients who had been admitted to hospital with serious brain injuries from car crashes, falls or sporting accidents.
Hospital staff gave 82 of the patients regular injections of progesterone within eight hours of their injury, while the rest were given placebo injections.
Those patients who received progesterone were given further injections every 12 hours for the following five days.
Over the next six months, doctors assessed the patients' recovery and noticed a remarkable improvement among those who received progesterone.
Results also showed a 50 percent reduction in mortality in those patients treated with progesterone. The treatment also improved brain function and reduced disability in patients with moderate brain injury.
Now a much bigger trial across America which starts next month aims to enroll approximately 1,140 people over a three- to six-year period.
Although it is widely considered a "sex steroid," progesterone is also a protection hormone, the researchers said.
Produced in the female ovaries its main use is in preparing the womb for pregnancy, but is also naturally produced in small but measurable amounts in the brains of males and females.
Laboratory studies suggest that progesterone is critical for the normal development of nerve cells in the brain and exerts protective effects on damaged brain tissue.
Professor Donald Stein said: "The results that we are now seeing, and hope to continue validating, are an incredible and gratifying reward for more than 25 years of concentrated research."

The Regional Economics Applications Laboratory focuses on the development and use of analytical models for urban and regional forecasting and economic development.
REAL's mission is to provide timely, high quality analytical economic information for a variety of uses such as public policy decision making by public sector agencies and for strategic marketing in the private sector. REAL's capabilities revolve around comprehensive state and metropolitan models that integrate econometric and input-output analysis to provide for both impact and forecasting analyses.
While REAL's primary focus has been on the economies of the Midwest, REAL has collaborated in the development of models for several regions on the east coast. In addition, two models have been constructed for states in Brazil and a third is under construction. A model for the Jakarta Metropolitan region is also under construction.
REAL draws its staff from cooperating institutions and advanced graduate students in the fields of economics, geography, urban and regional planning, computer science and mathematics. Many of the projects the students work on then become the basis for thesis and dissertations.

- Illinois Economic Review Report -June:
----Chicago's employment in April 2015 was 101.90% to its pre-recession level. The recovery effort is followed by Kankakee (126.21%) and Springfield (130.12%).
----If we adjust for shadow unemployment, RMW has a recession recovery rate of 45.52%, Illinois 23% but the nation only 21.59%. Compared to the case without adjusting for shadow unemployment, the nation's recovery rate becomes significantly higher.
----The 12-month forecast shows that Illinois is likely to experience an employment growth between 68,800 and 74,300. The greatest increase is likely to occur in Professional & business services (44,100 more jobs), while the largest decline would happen for Manufacturing (14,100 less jobs).
----Given Illinois' economic performance of late, recovery to the prior peak (adjusted for changes in labor force participation and population growth) within five years would seem feasible.
more (Released: 6-30-2015)
- IL Job Report -June:
----Illinois added 9,200 jobs in May 2015, compared with a 5,400 job gain in April 2015. The nation added 280,000 jobs while the RMW added 17500 jobs.
----At the national level, Education & health services have remained among the top three job contributors for five months. The Information sector declined at all three levels of nation, RMW and Illinois.
---To recover to its previous employment peak, Nov-2000 within five years, Illinois needs to add 50,600 jobs annually. Given an annual growth of 57,000 jobs in 2013 and 66800 jobs in 2014, this is feasible.
----In Illinois, Manufacturing lost the greatest number of jobs in May (2,500 less jobs at -0.43%), while Professional & business services gained the most (6,900 more jobs at 0.74%). Percentage-wise, however, Professional & business services slowed down the most (0.94% to 0.74%) but Leisure & hospitality grew the most (0.04% to 0.59%).
----The 12-month-ahead job recovery forecasts show that the future recovery rates in Illinois will increase for every sector except Manufacturing and Financial Services.
----Financial activities in Illinois have been losing jobs for four consecutive months. It now has an employment level even below 2009 December when recovery happened nation-wide
more(Released: 6-25-2015)
- MSA Job Report - May:
----Illinois Rural area added 2,200 jobs at 0.29% in May, compared to a revised 7,200 job gain in April 2015. At the same time, Metro added 7,000 jobs at 0.14% in May, compared to a revised 1,800 job loss in the previous month. Consequently, the 9,200-job increase in Illinois statewide was driven majorly by increases in the metro areas.
----In the monthly MSA growth league table, the most remarkable upward move was recorded for Metro-East (10th to 1st). Additionally, Kankakee has remained on top of the 12-month growth performance table for three months.
----In May, Chicago Upstate added 3,700 jobs at 0.09%. Leisure & hospitality had the greatest job growth among all sectors (2,500 more jobs). Since the job recovery resumed in Jan 2010 in Illinois, Chicago Upstate has shown an average growth rate of 11.53%, which is the highest among all the IL MSAs; Decatur has experienced the lowest average growth rate, -4.58%.
----The 12-month forecasts show that Chicago is likely to experience a 0.92% job gain by May 2016 (37,200 more jobs). The greatest growth in Chicago is likely to happen for Professional & business services (21,700 more jobs at 2.89%) but the greatest decline would be for Manufacturing (5,100 less jobs at -1.51%).
more(Released: 6-25-2015)
-The Chicago Business Activity Index (CBAI) - April: The Chicago Business Activity Index (CBAI) decreased to 93.3 in April from 96.0 in March. The fall is attributed to negative job growth in the manufacturing and construction sectors and to a decline in retail activities in the Chicago area. more (Released: 06-18-2015)
- MSA Business Index and Forecast -June: According to the forecast for April 2016, Champaign-Urbana, Davenport, Decatur, Rockford and Kankakee are likely to perform less well over this period than Chicago. All the other MSAs will compare favorably to Chicago. (more Released: 6-25-2015)
- Housing Tax incentive: While 84,559 homebuyers in Illinois put in a claim for the Federal Home Buyer Tax Credit, only 25,504 sales were actually boosted by the incentive more (Released: 09-21-2010)

Find the best candy the world has to offer.
Simple guy who likes the simple things in life, also in travelling. I love finding out about how others live, and how it works even though it's so different. I like that travel moment when you realize... "wait a second, this strange world has been going on all of the same time my 'normal' one has". My favorite people are those who share, who geek out about the things they love, and find much amusement in ordinary things. I think basketball is pretty much the best game ever. I feel like there's a lot left to do, and a lot of people left to meet.
hearty tasty food, a group of great friends, inspired music and a rocking sunset is pretty much all I ask for. Is it too much to ask for?
you can learn something from everyone you meet.
Had a wonderful time surfing in SF. Got lots of great tips and advice through all the great meetups everywhere while travelling.
plenty of good food, playing guitar, mbira, trying to dance, basketball, reading, board games, live music, fiddling with computers, learning new random knowledge from people.
The Beatles, mbira, SRV, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Buckley, Iron and Wine, Nick Drake, Broken Social Scene, Radiohead,
I studied abroad in Wales my junior year and made the most wonderful friends, got to travel constantly, and had time to stop, relax, listen and enjoy being alive. I felt so alive during that short semester, and have been seeking more from life since!
I can teach guitar, or some mbira. I can talk to computers and make them do what you want. I can show you how to make my favorite rice dish from Singapore (coconut rice).

2Go Media, an Internet based technology company offering an ecosystem of integrated services designed to help merchants maximize sales, announced today that it has expanded the functionality of its flagship iDeals Marketing Platform™ product to include a powerful new card-linked Customer Rewards Loyalty Program. The new feature enables retailers to create and manage their own customized loyalty programs, extending sales cycles, while making it easier for businesses to retain customers.
"We're extremely excited to offer this great new tool to retail business owners," said Ted Mooney, President and COO of 2Go Media. "Loyalty is the name of the game in retail. Now, with this new enhancement to the iDeals Marketing Platform™, there's no better solution for retailers to achieve the type of loyalty that equates to sales."
The new Customer Rewards Loyalty Program component of 2Go Media's iDeals Marketing Platform™ eliminates the need for retailers to print and supply their customers with traditional punch cards. Instead, customers can simply enroll their own personal debit or credit cards in loyalty programs offered by individual retailers. Each time the enrolled card is used to make a purchase with the retailer, the customer accrues loyalty points as designated by the retail business owner.
"Loyalty points are tracked electronically and awards issued automatically, leaving less for retailers and their customers to think about when making purchases, so everybody wins," Mooney continued.
The iDeals Marketing Platform™ offers retailers an all-in-one, self-serve electronic marketing solution that makes it easy to market and sell customized consumer offers online and via mobile devices. From the iDeals Marketing Platform™ website or mobile interface, retailers create offers and schedule distribution via a growing selection of high-traffic consumer websites and services, like 8coupons, Monster Offers, Deal Radar, and more. iDeals Marketing Platform™ distribution options also include top social media platforms, such as Facebook and twitter.
2Go Media's new Customer Rewards Loyalty Program is powered by the First Data OfferWise solution, bringing offer creation, distribution and redemption full circle for merchants of any size.

The basic integration architecture, as defined by ESBs, hasn't changed for more than a decade. Most cloud integration providers still rely on an ESB architecture and their proprietary connectors. As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

Are you having trouble cranking the engine? Is it cranking over faster than usual? Or, cranks as always did but just wont seem to catch. If it cranks but wont start, do you hear the fuel pump run when you turn the key on before cranking? Are any fuses blown? Is there fuel in the tank? If you have a manual trans, are you pressing the clutch pedal hard enough when attempting to crank the engine? You see I need to know exactly what you experienced at about 5pm that night!

The move comes as states across America report sharp increases in heroin use, a trend the Obama administration this month called an "urgent public health crisis."
"We have an epidemic of opiate abuse in Massachusetts, so we will treat it like the public health crisis it is," Patrick said in a statement.
The statement said at least 140 people have died of suspected heroin overdoses in the state recently, and that opiate overdoses had risen 90 percent between 2000 and 2012.
Patrick said his administration would permit first responders to carry and administer overdose reversal medication naloxone, also known as narcan, and will make the drug available in pharmacies for those "who fear a loved one might overdose."
He said he would also temporarily prohibit hydrocodone-only formulation pain killers in the state, which he said pose "a significant risk to individuals already addicted to opiates and to the public at large."
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said this month that heroin overdoses had become "an urgent public health crisis," and reiterated the Obama administration's call for more law enforcement to train and equip personnel with naxolone.
Holder said 17 states and the District of Columbia have already amended their laws to increase access to naloxone, which is a blocking agent that can reverse the effects of an overdose and help restore breathing.
National attention on heroin abuse was riveted by the case of acclaimed actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, who was found dead from a drug overdose in his Manhattan apartment in February, a needle still in his arm. An autopsy determined he succumbed to acute intoxication from a mixture of heroin, cocaine and other drugs in his system.
Fatal heroin overdoses increased 45 percent nationwide from 2006 to 2010, with 3,038 such deaths reported that year, and the numbers are believed to still be on the rise, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
The rising level of heroin use in recent years stems from a corresponding epidemic in the abuse of prescription opiate-based pain killers, such as oxycodone, DEA officials say.
Meanwhile, trafficking in heroin, the bulk of it smuggled into the United States from Mexico, has risen in conjunction with increasing demand.

Leon scoffs, "You couldn't give me a lesson in long-distance spitting." Then they begin to go back and forth, "Anything you can do, I can do better. I can do anything, better than you." "No, you can't, Kris Bryant!" "Yes, I can, Carlos Rodon!" "No, you can't, Kris Bryant!" "Yes, I can, Carlos Rodon!" "You four-eyed honkey, KRIS BRYANT!" "You four-eyed non-honkey, CARLOS RODON!"

The White Sox are saying Rodon will work out of the bullpen, but within a week or two, he'll be in the rotation. Why do we care? Because he can be the best pitching prospect call up of the season. Yes, he can! I'd own him in any league, but he's likely gone. No, he can't! Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?

Steamer/Razzball projections are at or near the top with the best projections in baseball. Not the best at our site, that's easy, they are. They're the best when people drop nerd science with coefficients and variables and charts and graphs and other shizz I don't understand. Articles have been done, things have been written, nerds have yelled at their mothers to not bother them right now. Steamer/Razzball projections are great. They were the best free baseball projections last year. Those projections drive the Stream-o-Nator, Hitter-Tron and our other tools. What in the effy-eff does this effy-eff have to do with effin' anything? Those projections gave three players a 20/20 season Mike Trout, Carlos Gomez and Steven Souza. I just got goose-pimplies writing that. Seriously, feel my arm. That's not my arm! Hey now! Souza could only hit .240, but there's no reason why he is only owned in 19% of ESPN leagues. Well, there is a reason, but I don't want to insult anyone. That ownership number is a miscarriage of fantasy justice. You, the great people of the world, raise your mouse-clicky hand. First, put down the Krimpet, you have butterscotch frosting on your fingers. Just put it down on your desk for a second, no one's going to take it. People don't even want to be near you when you're eating. Okay, now take your recently freed-up hand and go to your waivers and grab Souza. It's your duty. Hehe, I said duty. Anyway, here's some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
The Diamondbacks decided now is the time to call up Yasmany Tomas! Hold on, exclamation mark, let's examine. !, "Do we have to? I'm a sucker for excitement." Tomas was only hitting .190 in Triple-A. !, "Hmm, this isn't gonna end well." The Diamondbacks aren't exactly setting the world on fire. !, "It's getting better." But they have been more than fine in the outfield, and he can't play 3rd base. !, "Oh, that." With a karate kick and few words, Diamondbacks GM, Dave Stewart, said Tomas would be a bench bat. !, "I'm out of here." Stewart said he would've liked Tomas to stay in Reno longer, but he was already on the 40-man roster, so they called him up. Yasmany said, "Who ate my English Muffins? I wrote my name on them! Hello? Amigos?" Tomas is fine as a flyer in deep leagues in case he catches on, but it doesn't look like he's going to get much playing time out of the gate. Assuming he can get through said gate. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Have you ever seen the pictures of those little birds that ride around on hippopotami? They cruise around on their backs, picking off random bugs and what not. They have a symbiotic relationship. Despite you not weighing 4,000 lbs and/or being a bug eating bird, you too can be part of a symbiotic relationship and here's how. The thing about DFS and DFS research is that you're most likely doing the research anyway. Think about it; as you sit down in front of your computer in the morning with your cup of joe and ponder that day's potential RCL streamers, what you're also doing is researching cheap pitchers for the day's DFS slate. Those guys available to you on the RCL waiver wire are going to be your mid to low priced DFS options. Next, as Rudy has already empowered you with the knowledge of the importance of maximizing ABs in the RCLs, you check the wire to see if Player X is facing a lefty at home today. Well, what you're doing once again is finding a nice low-priced DFS option on offense. Just like the hippo and the bird, it's a symbiotic relationship this DFS/RCL research. The fun doesn't end there either. Another time you'll see this relationship is during year long head-to-head playoffs. This is where you're throwing everything and the kitchen sink out there. Any and all streamers welcome, it's all about racking up points. Your regular 2B has been lousy of late and is playing in Petco? See ya later and say hello to DJ LeMahieu playing at home this week! It seems kind of obvious, but if you're doing all this research anyway, why not apply it towards something where you can win more than the couple Bennies in your home league or RCL? Roll those skills out into a 50/50 or 20 and make that research count. Before you know it you'll be picking bugs off a hippo and using your DFS research to pick out offensive streamers in your RCL. It'll only make you a better overall player and who doesn't want that?

The infidels are coming. They are storming the stronghold and sieging the castle. Cover your children's eyes and lock up your grandmas. As a general rule, I'm not drafting a middle "infidel" early unless it comes at great value or I'm tinkering with the zig strategy. Scarcity has over taken too many owners who pass up great numbers to fill a positional need and have been blinded by the fact that numbers are numbers. As I'm writing this, I'm looking at all the great depth for MI and I wonder why the heck should I even be writing this. It's pretty obvious that there is great upside late by reading Grey's coverage of second base. Add to that some of the bounce back golden oldies, and you got generations at the keystone. Speaking of golden oldies, did you all catch the ridiculously redumbasshatily things Brandon Phillips had to say the other day?Please, blog, may I have some more?
I joined Funston, Behrens, Pianowski, Dalton Del Don, Not The Noise (someone drafted using Brad Evans name, but it wasn't him), Rudy, Paul Singman and others. Since Singman writes for us now, we're up to three writers in the Friends & Family draft held at Yahoo. Within ten years, it's going to be 14 Razzball writers vs. Funston, and Funston will prolly still win after only drafting Howie Kendrick. I'm not being entirely facetious, Razzball's results in this league have been less-than-stellar. I don't mention this to be modest — modesty's for nuns! — I tell you this to preamble my reasons for drafting Billy Hamilton. I feel like my Friends & Family mojo is leaking oil, the carburetor is coughing up fumes and I'm on the side of the road, with my skirt hiked up, and no one's stopping. So, I decided to draft someone I have never drafted before and paid full price, to boot! (By the by, when I go to Italy, I like to shout, "To boot!") Well, enough about me, more about my team! Anyway, here's my 15-team, 5×5, roto, Friends & Family fantasy baseball draft:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Today we (hint: it's in the title) go over the top 20 3rd basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball. Now that we're knee deep in the 2015 fantasy baseball rankings we can get a better idea of how deep certain positions are. Lawrie was 20th for the top 20 2nd basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball and here he's 23rd. On the top 20 1st basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball, Frazier was 10th overall, and here he's 8th, and Chisenhall is 40th here, but 44th for 1st basemen. Bogaerts was 7th at the top 20 shortstops for 2015 fantasy baseball and here he's 15th. Finally, in the top 20 catchers for 2015 fantasy baseball, Santana is first and here he's 12th. In summation, catchers are the worst, then shortstops, 2nd basemen, 3rd basemen and 1st basemen. No real surprises there, but shortstops, 2nd basemen and 3rd basemen are pretty close to a toss up in depth (or derp). To summate my summation, lowercase yay. As always, my projections and tiers are noted. Anyway, here's the top 20 3rd basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Hello, friends that I've never met in person. I'm glad to see you again, metaphorically. I've already hit you with my top 20 catchers for 2015 fantasy baseball and the top 20 1st basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball. This, here, is the top 20 2nd basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball. This, here, is a mess. There's seriously about seven 2nd basemen I'm excited about, and two of them are Brett Lawrie and Jedd Gyorko, so we know how that's gonna play out. I don't know what happened to the latest crop of 2nd basemen, but I have a theory. Twelve years ago, when these 2nd basemen were learning the position, their role model was Bret Boone. Boone used to frost his hair, so all the kids learning 2nd base at that time, frosted their hair too. Then their friends beat the crap out of them, and that was the end of all future 2nd basemen. Here's the position eligibility chart for 2015 fantasy baseball. All the 2015 fantasy baseball rankings are under that linkie-ma-whosie. As always, my projections and tiers are included for the low, low price of zero dollars. Anyway, here's the top 20 2nd basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
First off, his name is Jonathan Schoop as in 'scope,' not as in, 'Baby, take a ride in my coupe, you make me wanna Shoop.' Salt and Pepa are, indeed here, and they are, indeed, in effect, but only metaphorically. I want to make sure that is clear, in case you are chatting with your friends about Schoop. There is nothing worse than invoking Salt and/or Pepa amongst friends only to find out hours, days or even weeks later that you were misspeaking. Also, you may be tempted to draft Bartolo Colon with Schoop just so you can name your fantasy team, The Colonschoopy. You're thinking of a Colin-Oz-Co-Pee, and, instead, you've just named your team Cologne-Scopey. So, unless you're a guido who gurgles with Drakkar, Cologne-Scopey doesn't make any sense. Please be careful. Speaking of guidos, remember The Jersey Shore people? I sure hope they bought everything outright and don't have huge car payments or mortgages. Pauly D is the only one with a job, as he's spinning records. Luckily, he won't have to change his resume dramatically when he becomes a sign spinner. Anyway, what can we expect from Jonathan Schoop for 2015 fantasy baseball and what makes him a sleeper?Please, blog, may I have some more?
Around six months ago, your mother left us in the middle of the night with nothing but each other and our drafted fantasy teams. I tried to make you French toast as you stood on a stool and watched, but we got egg shell in the batter and you cried about drafting Brad Miller. I was trying to do work one night, looking for a middle infield replacement as you played with your toy airplanes and — crash! — you spilled your milk all over my fantasy team. I screamed, you cried and Prince Fielder hurt his neck. Then your mother reappeared and began a custody battle to take over our teams right as Wilin Rosario seemingly lost his job. It was the Fourth of July, and no one was available, but I frantically searched for a replacement catcher with a job. If your mother's attorney got wind that we couldn't even manage to have a catcher with a job, we'd lose our teams forever. With a last ditch effort, we grabbed Yan Gomes off waivers, and another crisis seemed averted. It wasn't all smooth sailing the final stretch, like when you fell off the jungle gym, and I carried your through Central Park screaming, "We have to replace David Wright and Alex Rios!" But you just needed a few stitches and Xander Bogaerts with 3rd base eligibility and a hot schmotato for the outfield. The final test was making French toast again and seeing how well you adapted to finally cutting the cord on Jay Bruce. We did it, seemingly conquering a mountain, just the two of us, but due to a hot week from Ryan Rua we lost in the H2H playoffs. As you packed up your stuff to leave, we sat on the couch in silence. The weight of the summer on our minds when you turned to me and said, "What do you think about Dallas Keuchel for 2015?" Today, we close our fantasy baseball team window for the first time in six months. Of course, you can never remove those teams from your mind's eye because you turned off your computer's screensaver months ago and your team is burned into your monitor screen. Last year, Henderson Alvarez pitched a no hitter on the last game of the season, and this year he pitched against Jordan Zimmermann, who returned the favor with his own no hitter, with the help of an incredible, diving catch from Stephen Souza. Of course, a guy named after a composer known for patriotic marches secures it for the Nationals. In a season that saw seemingly every pitcher have a sub-3.50 ERA this was about as apt of a way to close out a season as any. As Bud Selig doffs his toupee, bidding baseball adieu, let us bid this season adieu too (almost stutterer!) and say hello to the offseason. Seriously, what about Dallas Keuchel for next year?! Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?

City gets no construction bids for Cumberland Avenue project
Knoxville officials received no bids from contractors Thursday for the first phase of the Cumberland Avenue Corridor Project.
"The Office of Redevelopment is going to reassess the bid documents we put out and try to identify whatever is best to encourage bidders," said Jesse Mayshark, city spokesman.
The first phase was estimated to take six months once the city secured a contract with a construction company to do work between Alcoa Highway and 22nd Street.
The city had scheduled a pre-bid meeting on March 18 for contractors. Contractors attended the meeting and had expressed interest in the project, said Eric Vreeland, city spokesman.
Vreeland said Bob Whetsel, city Office of Redevelopment director, and Whetsel's staff will be working to reach out to the contractors who attended the pre-bid meeting to figure out any issues in order to resolve them.
The first phase of the project will include work to install new underground stormwater and gas lines for new commercial and residential developments in the area.
New and wider sidewalks will also be constructed, roads will be resurfaced and motorists will see "higher-performing" traffic signals, city officials said.
The project, which includes a new turn lane onto northbound Alcoa Highway, is projected to cost $4 million and should take six months. It's part of a broader effort to redesign the highly used avenue.
Once that phase is complete, crews will begin working on a $13 million redesign from 22nd Street to 16th Street. That second, 18-month phase will include new underground utilities, sidewalks, turn lanes and medians, along with landscaping, benches and pedestrian lighting.
Federal highway dollars will pay for 80 percent of the $17 million project, with the city covering the rest. That's a cost to the city of about $3.4 million, officials have said.

Even though we can't get enough of him taking his shirt off as our new favorite werewolf Alcide on True Blood, Joe Manganiello is all about leather jackets, nice suits, and plain white tees when he's out and about. We know what you're thinking — it's practically a sin to wear clothes when you've got a body that hot, but beggars can't be choosers. We'll take this hunk no matter what he's wearing!
