Series Preview: Gwinnett Braves (6-11) vs. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (9-9)
Pitching probables
Mon: LHP Manny Banuelos (0-1, 3.77 ERA) vs. RHP Jaron Long (0-1, 6.75 ERA)
Tues: RHP Williams Perez (1-0, 1.69 ERA) vs. RHP Chase Whitley (2-0, 2.12 ERA)
Wed: RHP Matt Wisler (0-2, 4.60 ERA) vs. RHP Kyle Davies (1-1, 6.75 ERA)
The Gwinnett Braves open a seven-game homestand with three 6:35 p.m. contests against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Yankees. The Railriders have finished fifth in the six-team International League North Division in each of the past two seasons, but they have had Gwinnett's number. The G-Braves are 4-12 against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre since 2012 and have not won any of the eight games between the two clubs at Coolray Field. This will be the G-Braves' first foray outside of the IL South Division this season. They were 32-46 against non-divisional opponents in 2014.
Pitching: Gwinnett and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre are evenly matched statistically in the pitching department. The G-Braves' staff enters the series with the league's sixth-lowest earned-run average at 3.31 (55 ER in 149.1 IP), while the RailRiders sit in seventh with a 3.35 ERA (61 ER in 164.0 IP). The teams are also extremely similar in terms of their pitching staffs' control. The G-Braves have a 2.39 strikeouts-to-walks ratio (146/61). The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre staff's rate is 2.55 (153/60).
However, the G-Braves hold the advantage in individual stats. Tuesday's starter, Perez, boasts the seventh-lowest ERA in the league at 1.69. In the bullpen, left-hander Donnie Veal enters the series tied for the league lead in holds (four) and appearances (nine). Righty Aaron Kurcz is tied for fourth in saves with four.
Batting: The larger differences between the two teams in this series show up in their offensive approaches. The G-Braves use a speed-based game to score runs. The RailRiders' lineup, meanwhile, produces more power and hardly ever attempts to steal bases.
Gwinnett has a league-low three home runs through 17 games, but it leads the league with 21 stolen bases. Ten of those swipes have come from outfielder Eury Perez, who has been caught twice and was 27-for-31 in steal attempts in 2014 while playing in the Washington Nationals' and New York Yankees' organizations. Outfielder Todd Cunningham hit a team-best .429 (12-for-28) with two doubles and a triple during the nine-game road trip and returns to Coolray Field on a seven-game hitting streak.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre has eight home runs, which is tied for the seventh-most in the league, but has stolen four bases in eight attempts. RailRiders outfielder Ben Gamel leads the league with a .404 batting average (19-for-47), ranks second with a .472 on-base percentage and sits behind teammate Ramon Flores (.611) for fourth in slugging percentage with a .596 mark. Flores is also tied for second in the league with four home runs.
G-Bites: Gwinnett returns home with a new-look bullpen compared to when it left town April 16. RHP Kanekoa Texeira went on the disabled list along with infielder Sean Kazmar on April 17. That opened a spot for RHP Mitchell Boggs, who the Atlanta Braves signed to a minor-league contract April 20. The Braves also re-signed LHP Greg Smith the next day to join the G-Braves' corps of relievers. The G-Braves activated catcher Jose Yepez off of the disabled list to fill Kazmar's roster spot.
RHPs John Cornely and Michael Kohn got the call to Atlanta on Friday, April 24, while RHPs Sugar Ray Marimon and Juan Jaime returned to Gwinnett. Marimon made one appearance for the G-Braves before Atlanta called him up on April 13. Jaime saved 18 games for Gwinnett in 2014 and began the 2015 season with the Braves.
The G-Braves will finish their homestand with a four-game series Thursday-Sunday against the Toledo Mud Hens at Coolray Field.
G-Braves Hot Stove: Almonte, Wang and Veal
Following a historic front office revamp in October, the Atlanta Braves are preparing for their most important Hot Stove season in recent franchise history. Here at the G-Blog, we'll periodically take a look at some of the players that President of Baseball Operations John Hart and the new regime are bringing in, specifically those that will have an impact on the 2015 roster here in Gwinnett.
Yesterday marked Atlanta's first foray into Major/Minor League free agency this offseason, as the club announced the signing of outfielder Zoilo Almonte to a one-year Major League deal and pitchers Chien-Ming Wang and Donnie Veal to Minor League deals. While these acquisitions aren't the most notable the Braves will make this winter, they are proof that Hart and company are committed to building a deeper organization through the addition of established veterans.
Anyone who follows the Gwinnett Braves or the Triple-A International League closely will be familiar with all three players. Almonte, Wang and Veal all spent significant time in the IL last season, and each played against the G-Braves on more than one occasion.
Almonte, on Atlanta's 40-man roster, will contend for a spot on the 25-man Major League roster this Spring. He's the youngest of the three acquisitions at age 25, and he's logged brief stints with the New York Yankees in each of the past two seasons. Almonte has never quite settled in at the plate in the big leagues, batting .211 with two home runs and 12 RBIs in 47 career games, but he's done plenty at the Triple-A level to make him an intriguing prospect. In 105 games with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders last year, he batted .261 with 18 doubles, 18 home runs and 69 RBIs. His banner performance of 2014 occurred against Gwinnett at Coolray Field from July 23-24, a game that took two days to complete due to rain. Almonte went 4-for-6 with three homers and seven RBIs in a 12-4 rout of the G-Braves, launching solo and three-run shots off Kanekoa Texeira and adding another three-run clout off Carlos Fisher.
Almonte is reportedly out of options and would have to clear waivers should the Braves ever want to send him to Gwinnett, so it's unlikely that he'll bring his homer show back to Coolray Field in 2015. That's not to say his addition won't have an effect on the G-Braves' roster. IL veterans Todd Cunningham and Joey Terdoslavich, also competitors for the Atlanta bench, are now more likely to return to Gwinnett for their third and fourth seasons, respectively. Cunningham (.287, 8 HR, 58 RBI, 19 SB) and Terdoslavich (.256, 15 HR, 61 RBI) both had productive Triple-A seasons a year ago.
In contrast to Almonte, Wang appears to be specifically signed to help the Gwinnett roster. The Taiwanese right-hander posted back-to-back 19-win seasons with the New York Yankees in 2006 and 2007, but suffered a career-altering foot injury in 2008 and has since seen his profile transition to Triple-A workhorse. Since the start of 2011, the 34-year-old has made twice as many starts in the International League (50) as he has in the Major Leagues (22). Last year, Wang made an IL-best 28 starts with two organizations, going 13-8 with a 4.12 ERA with the Louisville Bats (Cincinnati Reds) and the Charlotte Knights (Chicago White Sox). He struck out just 73 batters over 172.2 innings, but kept the ball on the ground with a 1.78 groundout/flyout ratio and only six homers allowed.
Much like Almonte, Wang had success facing the G-Braves last year. He went 1-0 with a 2.92 ERA in two starts while with Louisville, then finished 3-0 with a 3.54 ERA in three starts with Charlotte. He worked at least 6.0 innings in four of his five meetings with Gwinnett, including 7.1 scoreless, nine-hit frames in a win with the Bats on June 14.
If he joins Gwinnett, Wang would be the elder statesman of a starting rotation that could include returnees Cody Martin (7-8, 3.52) and Aaron Northcraft (7-10, 4.70) and Double-A standouts Jason Hursh (11-7, 3.58) and Williams Perez (7-6, 2.91). Another season of 170-plus innings from Wang would also help keep the bullpen fresh in 2015.
Speaking of the Gwinnett bullpen, that's where you might find the left-handed Veal come April. Veal, a second-round pick by the Chicago Cubs back in 2005, has had a taste of the Majors with the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Chicago White Sox. In 100 total games from 2009 through 2014, he went 3-3 with a 4.87 ERA and one save. His best year was 2011, when he went 0-0 with a 1.38 ERA and 19 strikeouts in 24 relief outings with the White Sox. Far more of his time has been spent at the Triple-A level, where he logged 25 games with the Indianapolis Indians from 2009-2011 and 89 games with the Charlotte Knights from 2012-2014.
After going 2-2 with a 2.70 ERA in 17 relief outings for Charlotte in 2013, Veal took a step back in 2014, going 4-5 with a 5.94 ERA in 37 appearances. Against Gwinnett, he went 0-0 with a 9.00 ERA in three meetings. Though his recent numbers don't impress, the 30-year-old southpaw will get a look in Major League camp this Spring. Should he fail to make the Atlanta roster, he'll be an asset for a Gwinnett bullpen in flux. Of last year's G-Braves relief staff, right-hander Pedro Beato and left-handers Ryan Buchter and Atahualpa Severino are all Minor League free agents. That trio combined to make 131 appearances for the club last season.
Yesterday's moves don't represent a "big splash" at the Major League level, but they are the Atlanta Braves' first steps toward building better organizational depth — and a better Triple-A club — in 2015.
Series Preview: Gwinnett Braves (54-67) vs. Pawtucket Red Sox (68-54)
Pitching Probables
Mon: Zach Stewart (5-3, 4.42) vs. LHP Chris Hernandez (4-7, 4.15)
Tue: Cody Martin (6-7, 3.84) vs. Steven Wright (5-2, 2.70)
Wed: Aaron Northcraft (0-6, 6.33) vs. Anthony Ranaudo (13-4, 2.58)
Thu: Kanekoa Texeira (3-3, 4.59) vs. Matt Barnes (5-8, 4.36)
The Gwinnett Braves and the Pawtucket Red Sox meet for the final time in the 2014 season starting on Monday, August 11 at 6:35 PM at Coolray Field. The two squads split the series in Rhode Island during the month of May. Since then, the teams are going in opposite directions as the G-Braves have fallen to last place in the South division, while the Red Sox are closing in a playoff berth for the second straight season.
Pitching: Gwinnett will go with four right-handers for their series against the Red Sox.
Stewart is the only one with experience against the Red Sox this season. On May 29, he tossed 7.1 innings, scattering six hits, allowing three runs with three strikeouts to pick up his third win of the season. Since, Stewart has spent some time on the DL and worked out of the bullpen in his last four appearances. He will make his first start since June 3.
Pawtucket, featuring the second-best staff in the International League with a 3.50 ERA, will look to tame the fourth best offense in the league.
Hurlers Steven Wright and Anthony Ranaudo will look to continue their dominance of IL opponents. Ranaudo has a league-best 13 wins, while his 2.58 ERA ranks third in the league. On May 26, he tossed 6.2 scoreless innings against the G-Braves to collect his fifth win of the season. Ranaudo made his MLB debut on August 1 against the New York Yankees.
Wright joined Pawtucket halfway through the season. In 12 starts for the Red sox, he is 5-2 with a 2.70 ERA with 58 strikeouts in 72.2 innings. He second on the team in ERA, fourth in starts and tied for third in wins. After posting a 4-1 record with a 2.04 ERA in eight starts prior to the All-Star break, Wright has gone 1-1 with a 4.18 ERA in four starts since the mid-summer classic.
Batting: Gwinnett enters the series 13th in homers (70) and 11th in runs scored (497), but fourth in batting average (.268). The Braves have struggled with runners on base, leaving a total of 878 runners behind.
Joe Leonard is on fire. He has hit in six straight games and is batting .526 (10-for-19) with two doubles, one homer and six RBIs during the month of August. The infielder clubbed his first career Triple on August 6 at Charlotte. It was his first homer in over 208 games.
Joining Leonard with a hot bat has been Ozzie Martinez. The middle infielder is hitting .429 (9-for-21) with one double and three RBI in six game during the month of August.
Pawtucket's offense will be led by Mookie Betts. In 38 games with the Paw Sox, he is batting .325 (50-for-154) with eight doubles, two triples, five homers and 27 RBI. He has nine stolen bases in 13 attempts.
G-Bites: Chasen Shreve has been a great addition to the Gwinnett bullpen. Since being optioned to Gwinnett, the lefty is 0-0 with two saves in four appearances with the G-Braves. He has allowed three hits and has six strikeouts in 4.0 innings.
"Good things come to those who believe, better things come to those who are patient, and the best things come to those who dont give up."
Series Preview: Gwinnett Braves (48-61) at Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (53-56)
Tues: Kanekoa Texeira (1-3, 6.00) vs. LHP Nik Turley (1-2, 6.23)
Wed: Gus Schlosser (6-5, 3.58) vs. LHP Matt Tracy (1-3, 3.76)
Thu: LHP Daniel Rodriguez (6-11, 4.67) vs. Bruce Billings (4-5, 4.94)
Fri: Cody Martin (6-6, 3.45) vs. Bryan Mitchell (2-1, 2.70)
Gwinnett and SWB meet up for the second time in the last five days. In their latest matchup, the RailRiders swept a four game series from the G-Braves at Coolray Field. The G-Braves enter play with the worst record in the IL and are 10.5 games behind the Durham Bulls in the IL South, while the RailRiders are in fifth in the IL North and are 9.0 games behind the Syracuse Chiefs.
Pitching: The matchup feature boasts the No. 9 and No. 10 ranked pitching staffs in the IL. Gwinnett enters at No. 9 with a combined 4.22 ERA, while SWB ranks tenth with a 4.34 ERA.
Rodriguez has been on fire of late for the G-Braves. In his last two starts, he is 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA (0 ER in 12.0 IP). Rodriguez has not allowed a run in over 12.0 innings.
Schlosser has been solid as well. In five appearances (three starts) during the month of July, the righty is 1-1 with a 2.03 ERA. He hasn't allowed a run since July 13, spanning over 10.2 innings. He did not face the RailRiders last time around, as he was recalled by the Atlanta Braves.
SWB will counter with two lefties and two righties. Turley struggled against the G-Braves, while Tracy missed them at Coolray Field.
However, Billings and Mitchell were lights out for the RailRiders. Billings went 7.0 innings, scattering six hits and allowing one run in the no decision.
Mitchell was better, going 5.0 scoreless innings to record his first win of the season. The Reidsville, NC native was even sharper in his last start against the Pawtucket Red Sox on July 27, tossing 7.0 innings of scoreless baseball with a season-high six strikeouts. Mitchell hasn't allowed a run since July 17.
Batting: Gwinnett lost their most consistent hitter on Saturday night as Phil Gosselin was recalled by the Atlanta Braves. The Braves will rely Todd Cunningham and Jose Constanza to lead the offense. Cunningham enters play with a .277 (99-for-357) batting average with 19 doubles, two triples, five homers and 44 RBI. He leads the squad in hits, doubles, triples, RBI and is four in homers and third in runs scored (41).
Constanza has missed parts of the season, but still leads the team in hitting with a .288 (93-for-323) batting average. He has 21 stolen bases and 27 RBI from the leadoff spot.
SWB is led by Jose Pirela since Zoilo Almonte has been called up by the New York Yankees. The slick-fielding infielder is batting .310 (126-for-407) with 15 doubles, five triples, eight homers and 42 RBI. He was selected to the IL All-Star game.
In the four game series against the G-Braves last week, the RailRiders outhit the home squad 44-to-28 and outscored the G-Braves 24-to-6.
G-Bites: Atlanta Braves' right-hander Shea Simmons was placed on the DL on Tuesday afternoon. Right-hander Juan Jaime will take his place on the activate Atlanta roster.

A First-Timer's Look at the IDS
It started with a 13-hour trip—including a stop in Munich—but it was worth it to realize my long-time dream of attending the IDS show in Cologne.
Walking into the show, I felt like a little boy entering a carnival for the first time: there were eye-catching booths with glamorous lighting and "side shows" such as magicians. And yes, plenty of free beer at the various exhibit booths.
It was exciting to see machines, materials and vendors that aren't yet available in the U.S.; I felt like it was a preview of the future of the U.S. laboratory industry. One of...

The Metal-Free Tipping Point
Since their introduction in the 1950s, PFM restorations have been the bread-and-butter of C&B and most full service laboratories. In fact, as recently as 2005, only 17% of C&B workloads were metal-free. However, with the proliferation of metal-free materials and technologies, we're nearing the tipping point: 45% of C&B workloads are now comprised of metal-free restorations, according to LMT's 2013 Porcelain Survey.
The Medical Device Tax Quagmire
In 2010, the NADL's analysis of the new healthcare legislation revealed that a 2.3% excise tax would be applicable to the selling price of completed dental restorations beginning in 2013.
Vague terminology in the legislation indicated that the 2.3% tax would be payable by the manufacturer, producer or importer but didn't specifically define those terms. Given the FDA's previous classification of dental laboratories as medical device manufacturers, the conclusion was that the tax would apply.
The news generated a growing alarm over the next several months as laboratory owners sought...
"Full Z" Goes Full Speed
The full contour zirconia trend began in 2009, with the launch of Glidewell's BruxZir® Solid Zirconia crowns and bridges, marketed as a "virtually unbreakable" option for bruxers and grinders. Other manufacturers began to follow suit and introduce their own solid zirconia options and "Full Z" has become the fastest growing restoration in laboratories across the country.
The restorations allow laboratories to offer a lower-cost solution, and the labor-saving digital process ensures better fits and fewer remakes. There remains concern among some laboratory owners...
First Two States Win Fight for Disclosure
On the heels of widespread media attention about offshore crowns containing lead, two bills that required laboratories to spell out the origin and content of dental restorations passed in 2008: one in Florida and one in South Carolina. Although both bills only required the lab to provide the information to the dentist—and not for the dentist to pass the information onto the patient—supporters felt it was a step in the right direction because the information would be placed in the patient's file and would provide a mechanism for traceability.
Illinois, Ohio and Minnesota have also...
Lead Scare Brings Lab Work into the Public Eye
Foreign Dental Work Put to Test, an investigative report about lead found in restorations made in China was the talk of the industry when it aired in February 2008 on Ohio's WBNS 10TV. The story covered an Ohio woman who had experienced pain and infection in her jaw after her dentist placed an ill-fitting, three-unit PFM bridge the previous year. After learning the bridge was made in China, she had the bridge removed and tested for hazardous materials, and lead (160ppm) was found in the restoration.
In addition, the TV station ordered eight PFM crowns from four labs in China and also had...
Rapid Prototyping on the Radar
The buzz at the Dental Laboratory Owners Association of California's CAD/CAM Symposium in November 2005: rapid prototyping technology. First developed in the 1980s and used in the automotive and aerospace industries, the technology had laboratory owners enthusiastic about what was called the "next generation of CAD/CAM." Advocates said the additive technology would result in increased efficiency and less material waste.
Those forecasts were spot on. The technology continues to revolutionize the way laboratories fabricate waxups and metal restorations. And, like CAD/CAM, it's...
IPS e.max: Unprecedented Market Penetration
Thanks to its physical properties, esthetics and ease of use, Ivoclar Vivadent's IPS e.max—the first lithium disilicate on the market—penetrated the marketplace with unprecedented speed. Introduced in 2005, an estimated 75 million IPS e.max restorations have been fabricated worldwide. Also a contributing factor to the product's success: the company's strong marketing efforts to create brand awareness among laboratories, dentists and patients alike.
"We had success with IPS e.max right from the start," said Charlie Fager, BS, CDT, Owner, Fager Dental Laboratory,...
FDA "Discovers" Dental Laboratories
Historically, the FDA—long involved in overseeing the manufacturers of dental laboratory materials—paid minimal attention to dental laboratories. In 2004, due to the dramatic rise in imports from overseas laboratories, that changed. Concerned that these restorations might not contain FDA-approved materials, the FDA started taking a closer look at foreign laboratories and consequently, the domestic operations that imported cases from them. Several laboratories reported random inspections and, later that year, the FDA invited the NADL to a meeting to discuss its concerns about public...
The Blurring of the Lines
Laboratories—most notably Glidewell Laboratories—have long dabbled in the manufacturer/supplier realm. But in the past 15 years, digital technology has been driving a role reversal as manufacturers/suppliers have begun stepping into the laboratory's shoes.
Nobel Biocare was the first in the late 90s; now, there are more than a dozen manufacturer/suppliers that offer design and milling services for their laboratory customers. While some laboratory owners are concerned their suppliers are becoming their competitors, others aren't bothered by the trend if the manufacturers...
Implants Become Ubiquitous
In the early 1980s, industry forecasters predicted a boon in implant placement, a prediction that was premature for a market still in its infancy. Inadequate education, inconsistent techniques and unpredictable results contributed to resistance on the part of many dentists and laboratories.
However, by the time we entered the new millennium, implant treatment became the first choice in tooth replacement thanks to technical advancements, long-term success rates, and the abundance of manufacturer-provided education.
The advent of CAD/CAM and cone beam technology further impacted the precision of...
Tick Tock 2000
Computer systems across the globe were at risk of failing after midnight, December 31, 1999 thanks to the "Millennium Bug." For decades prior to 2000, computer software had been designed with a two-digit year code—"98" for 1998, for example—and the fear was that when computers' internal clocks changed to "00" the computers wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the year 2000 and the year 1900.
Like business owners everywhere, some laboratory owners were concerned by what the "mother of all computer glitches," would...
CAD/CAM (Finally) Enters the Market
After years of speculation, CAD/CAM came to fruition in the dental laboratory in 1998 with the official U.S. launch of the Procera® AllCeram Crown, featuring an aluminum oxide coping milled at Nobel Biocare's production facility in Sweden. The success of Procera—and the introduction of a dozen new in-lab milling systems in the early 2000s—fueled intense interest among laboratory owners and made CAD/CAM the hot topic for the unforeseeable future.
The automated manufacturing process afforded an efficient, consistent method of production and also opened the door to using zirconia,...

Laser Welders Zap Soldering
Already widely used in European dental laboratories as well as in other industries, it wasn't until around 1994 that laser welding took root in the U.S. laboratory market when American Recovery, Dentaurum and Tanaka Dental all introduced laser welding units. A key benefit was the stronger connections; a 1991 study published in Quintessence found the connections to be 266% stronger than solder, 43% stronger than microplasma welds and 95% as strong as the original alloy.
Because the laser focuses a beam that melts and welds a very small area of metal, laser welders also brought a higher level...
The Internet Revolution
In its infancy, laboratory owners didn't immediately see the internet's application to their business. However, in the past 15 years, the number of laboratories with internet access has tripled, with 88% of U.S. laboratories LMT surveyed now having online capability. The ability to transmit data over the internet is fueling the growth of milling centers and subcontracting businesses. Emailing questions, case considerations and photos with clients has become the norm. And the opportunity for far-reaching promotion has prompted more than 40% of laboratories to market their nother third...
Captek: New PFM Option
Invented by Dr. Itzhak Shoher and Aharon Whiteman, CDT, first-generation Captek™ was introduced to the international dental community in 1993. The unique capillary technology took the PFM world by storm because it produced a high noble metal coping right on the refractory die without casting. Dentists and technicians alike were taken by its resulting thin, gold-colored copings and ability to maximize soft tissue health; Captek remains an ideal option for patients with any type of predisposition to caries or perio concerns.
In 2007, Captek Nano™—stronger and thinner than the original...
Acrylic/Composite Teeth Gain on Porcelain
For years, porcelain was the material of choice for denture teeth because of its ability to replicate the appearance of natural dentition. But as we entered the 1990s, acrylic denture teeth had replaced porcelain as the industry standard; in fact, the use of porcelain teeth had dropped 50% during the previous decade.
Acrylic teeth offered several functional advantages: they were kinder to opposing dentition with less trauma to the bone and offered easier occlusal adjustment. However, earlier materials tended to craze and check and weren't as esthetic as the tried-and-true porcelain. Over...
Cross Contamination: Risk vs. Reality
In 1987, an HIV-positive dentist in Florida was found to have transmitted the infection to six of his patients. This first-known case of clinical transmission of HIV and the uncertainty during the late 1980s about the exact models of HIV transmission led the ADA to issue recommended infection control procedures and later work with the Centers for Disease Control to develop infection control recommendations for dentistry.

Although PFMs were still considered by many to be the esthetic standard for clinical longevity, pressable ceramics—starting with IPS Empress and Optimal Pressable Glass (OPC)—began to drive the metal-free dentistry movement in the late 1980s. The improved esthetics and biocompatibility—coupled with soaring precious metal prices—quickly made the pressable technique a successful and cost-effective way to fabricate metal-free restorations. Later, the technique was adapted to create press-to-metal and press-to-zirconia restorations.

I love the way this looks on me - for about 30 minutes. Then, depending on which part of my face I've put it on, it either creases up or simply disappears. Too bad, because the (very temporary) effect is lovely on my fair skin. Though I will probably not buy this again, I would certainly do so if I ever became a model and needed to look great for a few 30-minute photo-ops. Alas, I am a college prof who actually wants to look polished over the course of the entire day. (I do wish I has known about this stuff when I had my wedding!)
By the way, my favorite thing about this multiple was the way it looked when lightly applied on my eyelids (I can't imagine using this on my lips?). Because of the aforementioned creasing, I have switched to Estée Lauder's Double Wear Shadow Stick in "Gold Pearl," and I am really happy with it. A similar color that stays put (though it wouldn't work as a highlighter at all, I suppose).

i don't finish make-up products. i'm kind of add & need/love to try new products. that said, i've finished my multiple in copacabana. i'd read about the multiple in some magazines & was also looking for a highlighter. thus i came upon this; it is exactly what i was looking for.
no really, i love multi-taskers. i use this on my cheekbones, browbones, eyelids, corner of my eyes, sometimes lips. it is great for experimenting (i.e. it's hard to eff up when applying). it enhances my fair skin & features, so i get a subtle glow. it's quick to use, easy to apply. it suits my skin tone & my elementary make-up skills (though i think i'm getting better!)
this is probably the only highlighter i'll ever use. i will absolutely be repurchasing.

I was very surprised to see how small the tube was, I don't think it will last long if you are planing on using it daily, you will need to reapply it several times during the day because it doesn't stay long, maximum 30 min and it's gone, gives silvery grayish glow at the beginning, and leaves shiny greasy residue afterward, looks unnatural. I prefer powdered natural skin tone highlighters. This will be good for those with perfect skin, if you have large pores, they will look like highlighted craters.

Absolutely fabulous product! I first read about this in Victoria Beckham's 'That Extra 1/2 An Inch' and after reading the reviews here I had to try it. I have a very fair complexion with pink/red undertones and finding something that will give me a healthy glow without emphasizing my already pink cheeks is always a problem. This color does just the trick! It highlights beautifully and the subtle color actually seems to tone down the redness without calling extra attention to it or turning my face into a sparkly mess. The application is smooth and it goes on without leaving any kind of obvious make up residue behind. Really lovely and so worth the money. A huge stick that I reckon will last forever and as with all NARS products the quality is superb!

I love the Multiples in general, and Copacabana is my favorite! It adds a beautiful sheeny glow to my face with very fine, very delicate shimmer and is never over the top. A quick swipe of this and my face looks awake and radiant, like I've slept for 8 full hours (instead of the actual 5 or less that I got...). It works with almost all looks and every makeup product that I've got. My mom complimented on my "glowing skin" and upon learning that it's actually because of copacabana, she borrowed it from me and now she's in love with it too, and is thinking of buying one for herself! Will definitely repurchase although you get so much product for the price, I don't think I'll be running out of it very soon.

So i had been researching Nars multiples for a while and i was originally planning on getting Mustique because i'm very fair skinned with a little bit of yellow tone but once i got to Sephora the color looks so much redder than i wanted. So i got Copacabana cause it was lighter. I will say that i love this product, it really adds dimension to the face and highlights by cheekbones but i think that this color would probably look better on darker skinned people. Apart from the shimmer it adds almost no color. I might get Mustique or Maldives next time because i didn't try it on, and the product does look much darker on the stick than when applied. I would recommend this product but be careful what shade you choose cause this is really pricey.

This is my very first highlighter product and I am so impressed. It's so easy to use and really makes a difference. My skin looks healthier and dewier after dabbing this on my brow bone, cheekbones, nose, and forehead. I use my fingers to apply just a bit. Love this. I'm considering getting other colors too.

Okay. This stuff is awesome. I use it on my cheekbones over my blush and browbone. I wear it daily...can't be without it. Best beauty purchase ever!!! Long lasting on skin and I imagine it would take forever to run out of it so it is worth every penny. okay, I've owned this for a year and it still hasn't run out....I love it still but when it is time to repurchase a highlighter, I will search out something with pink tones as opposed to white which this is.....I bought a pink liquid highlighter while on vacation and it looked better...I think the copacabana can wash me out, so I layer it under my blush.

This item is HG to me and belongs in my "essential make-up basics kit." It is expensive, yes, but you get a TON of product for the $$. It will probably take me a decade to use this up. I've used NARS multiples in the past and have Cannes, Malibu, and Portofino, but this one is my favorite for sheer versatility. I use it everyday. I use it mainly to highlight cheekbones and it has gotten to the point where I've developed a dependency on this product--if I don't use it one day I just don't like my look as much. It's the difference between made-up and "glowy" to me.
The shimmer in this is just right--not too glittery. It looks like a glow rather than cosmetics. I also love application--easy to control and build on. Prior to this I was using NARS Albatross for a highlighter and that just doesn't compare to this. When I use this up, in 10 years, I'll buy it again!

If you asked me what I'm most passionate about in my life, I might start with this: Learning. Since I was a kid, I've had this open curiosity that makes me burst. I love to meet people, travel, and learn from meet different cultures. My friends. I have a great group of close friends, and we love to hang out together. Yet, here's what's missing…Love. I'm here to meet a life partner. I want to be in a relationship that's real. I'm ready for trust, commitment, understanding, support, patience, kindness, love, freedom to be oneself. Are you? I hope to wind up with a sharp woman who is confident and grounded. You like what you do for a living. You know what you want in life. You have charisma and goals. Is this you? My friends would tell you that I'm easy going -- but not too laid back. I have a serious side – you might say that I'm intense -- but I'm fun and love to experience new things. I enjoy the simple things of life: dinner together, holding hands, sharing popcorn during a movie. You, too? I'm more intellectual than spiritual. I love to be active – weight lifting,powerplate, yoga, cycling, you name it. I'd love to meet a woman who enjoys traveling as much as I do to get married someday and start a family.... I look forward to hearing from you!

Crime, courts and legal issues in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin
Racine's mayor settles slander suit by former city worker
Just days before a scheduled trial, Racine Mayor John Dickert has reached a confidential settlement with a former city employee who had sued him for slander, the Journal Times reports.
In a suit filed in February 2011, William Bielefeldt claimed that during his appearance on a local radio program that month, Dickert had said he'd fired someone who was embezzling from the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. Bielefeldt said he was the only city employee working in the program who was fired, so people then suspected he had embezzled from the program, which he denied.
Dickert's attorney told the Journal Times only that the city is not making any payments to Bielefeldt under the settlement.
Dickert had tried to bring the city into the case to pay any damages that Bielefeldt might win, but the judge last month dismissed the city from the case.

Very good work.
The animation style isn't my favorite. Some of the shots of the characters weren't proportionate and the lip syncing could use some work but the story and voice acting was superb. The biggest problem I have with most flash projects (when they have voices) is they do very little to find quality voice actors. Every word was believable and acted out perfectly. Awesome job on that front. All in all, very good work and I hope to see more.
Lack of Originality? I don't think so....
The fact is, you are using something created to make something completely new. I've never heard of these villains before and if anyone cries lack of originality, well nothing is original...EVERYTHING has been done before at least once. Sure, it could be weirdly original but the fact is that you put your own spin on the superhero universe and that's just as original as making episodes about a floating cat head.
Nice style!
I really like your graphic style! It fits well to the typical superhero-cartoons that I know. Very well made.
funny as hell how they just watch and comment, like actual "pro" wrestling
why you do this
omg this one is so much better than the others D:
There's more and better action, great art, good voice acting, and now I want to see the end to every single conflict there. Oh god the suspense D:

New Frontiers in Audio Forensics
[Feature] Audio forensics is a growing field with increasingly sophisticated tools. Gunshot recordings can be analyzed acoustically to reconstruct information about the timing of events and the geometrical layout at the crime scene. Electric network frequency data, picked up on recordings made at crime scenes, can be used to uniquely identify the time at which events occurred. Furthermore, voices of speakers recorded at crime scenes can be automatically matched with specific exemplars or entire databases of records with an increasingly high chance of accurate identification. Such systems typically employ a number of metrics extracted from voice signals.

Ohio is widely regarded as a predictor of national election results. In 28 of the past 30 elections, it voted for the winning candidate. No Republican has ever won the election without winning Ohio. What makes Ohio so accurate at predicting the election? Political strategists attribute it to "The Five Ohios," regions of the state that mirror the major regions of the country. In short, Ohio is the United States in miniature.

Cute but not sturdy
Michelle from San Diego, CA – Verified Buyer
It's tough to adhere these to the wall so they don't wobble. Each one comes with a screw and wall anchor, and the one hole on the back slips over the screw. It's difficult to get the screw at just the right depth in the wall to fit the hook over it tightly.

You should also like football, or be understanding of our culture. haha. There should be a Packer Fan dating site.... Hmmmmm

I've got to tell you 'bout Tarsha…
Tarsha is a Registered Nurse from the South and she talks funny. She says that about me too… but I don't know what she means. I seem to talk normal.
Her weight loss story is one that will resonate with who she wants to help to improve their health and she knows there's money to be made.
It's all around her she told me.
Every time I talk to Tarsha, someone wants her to speak, do a podcast, give them a diet, show them how to exercise with her developing program and so on, because there's something organic in Tarsha's ability to communicate to other's in a way that they want to hear what she has to say. She's also a great student and steps out of the box for real.
She's smart. She has nerve. She takes risks. She has an idea that has been acted on…
She doesn't care what "other people" think, (people who would never buy from her anyway).
When I heard Tarsha's story of selling a "Spanks-like" product to someone in the bathroom at Popeye's… I knew she was a winner!
Now that's a nurse with an entrepreneurial spirit!
Tarsha is who you would call my "Ideal Client". She shows up ready, does the work required and is "hungry" to get going. I don't have to "convince" her or even "sell" her for that matter. But because above all else…
we like each other. (we talk about how to achieve getting clients like Tarsha on a regular basis in tomorrow's training, 4/30.)
We have our differences, but there is mutual respect.
But once we really started talking and exchanging ideas and stories and experiences, it soon became apparent that we would be more than "business acquaintances"…
I will be her mentor (more like a friend) in her journey to develop & sell her products/services within the fitness & wellness market.
And get this… my ideal client, Tarsha, wasn't bombarded with emails from me or phone calls after a networking meeting or letters through snail mail…
…Tarsha found me.
Even though my messages and website titles and audiences have been changing, by putting "it" out there… whatever "it" was when Tarsha was looking… "it" caught her attention and the rest is history.
But presently – Tarsha and I are heading to Florida in October to party with one of our mentors. What happened was…
I called Tarsha and asked if she would be interested in going and that I could get an extra ticket and to my surprise… She was already going! WOOHOO! Now that's what I'm talking about.
I can't wait to meet Tarsha and share how we will each send out our new messages to our peeps and share with everyone at the party in Florida in October!
Speaking of a partay!
There's another one soon. You have to get on Minky's List though AND
attend the no-cost training on the "5 Steps for Fitness Nurses to Turn YOUR Fitness Fad Into Recurring Cash"
to get invited!
You must hurry the training is tomorrow, 4/30. (Click here for details)
Now remember since I will be going back to my stand-up comedy days and begin presenting humorous, funny and sometimes raunchy shows on fitness and dieting again, as The Joking Fitness Nurse, which will be my #1 focus…
These trainings for nurses like you, interested in fitness and diet and making money with your fitness/diet idea, will only be a few times a year.
So, actually my "side hustle" will be working with (fitness) nurses like yourselves – You know, who show up, do the work and take action.
Because there are only a rare few of you who have this interest AND have an entrepreneurial spirit, business sense says, I cannot put as much effort to search for you… but you will, like you have already done… you will find me, so I'm not worried.
If and when you're ready, I'd be honored to get to know you & your fitness & wellness idea/dream and help you package it up and get it into the hands and hearts of those who want it!
Then you can come partay with Tarsha & me too!
I hope to "see" you there!
P.S. No more e-mails will be sent to "sign-up" for tomorrow's (4/30) training. Just a couple of reminders to those who already have signed up will go out tonight and tomorrow.

The best examples of things that motivate others over the short-term almost always involve surprise and delight. A million years ago I heard this story from Mike Vance about his boss at the time, Walt Disney.

Consistently choosing immediate reward over delayed gratification is a common problem for compulsive overeaters. Scientists call this intertemporal choice (IC), meaning choices that differ in the timing of their consequences.

Our round table is where each of us had a voice and was equally heard. We didn't have a head of the table but the hierarchy of our family unit was clear. We all came to the table to celebrate our day together and to check in with each other.
Could we really still travel with five kids under the age of five? Sure we could and indeed we did. Whether your family is big or small, here is some advice to ensure that your next check-in doesn't leave you wanting to check out!
As with any risk, there is always something at stake. In most instances, when it comes to your business, you stand to lose money, time and your reputation. Which are also the very same things you stand to gain!
What I found in researching this piece, is that large, ostentatious perks aren't what make companies tick on a daily basis. A foundation of meaningful work, subtle and personal perks, and enjoying time with talented colleagues sounds like the perfect formula.
Very few of us have perfect self-control, but importantly, many of us are well aware of our limited power to say no. So it's sometimes possible to anticipate times of weakness and devise ways to restrict our own freedom.
Think about it. If I grow up in a world where almost everything has been given to me, or made easy -- I start feeling entitled to it. In fact, I stop trying hard, because I know, somehow, an adult will ensure I get what I need or want.
Gearing up for your summer travel plans and looking forward to racking up the rewards on your credit card? Depending on which credit card you use, you could get some serious value for your travel.
It really is possible to be what you want to be, do what you want to do, and have what you want to have. Life does not have to be a series of frustrations and disappointments. The tools exist to remove your barriers to true happiness and satisfaction.
Children need praise. We all do. From early in life, children look to us for praise and approval, and to share moments of pride.
For every 10 articles you read on motivation, five will say that money is key and five will say that lifestyle is key. Today, people expect both.
Many adults are completely separated from the truth of who and what they are, following the patterns of their own conditioning. When these adults interact, they hold the expectation of truthfulness for the other but not for themselves.

Derek Paravinci has been called a musical savant, an autistic genius and, less flatteringly, the human iPod. Born in 1979, he is blind and has severe learning difficulties, but he is also a gifted pianist. Since the age of four, he has been able to reproduce almost any music that he has heard just once. His talent has made him the object of academic study and a biography (called, with some hyperbole, In The Key Of Genius) but, although he has often played in public, this short tour represented his first full-length concert with orchestra.

My relationship with the name Inamo, brief though it is, has been one of peaks and troughs. At first it sounded promising, enigmatically poised somewhere between Japan and China, like a fictional land in the novels of Haruki Murakami, or at least one of the finely tuned restaurants — Hakkasan, Busaba, Yauatcha — of Alan Yau. Or else it was a Latin verb (inamo, inamas, inamat.) Then, with a lurch and plummet, realisation dawned: it's in-a-mo, as in "in a moment". Geddit?

Comments about Mountainsmith Dog Pack - Small:
Worked like a champ! I was going to be getting surgery soon and knew that I would not be able to take my border collie for the 3 to 10mile walks she is used to. This helps 'slow' her down a bit. She now carries her frisbee, toys and treats when we go to the park and this givers her a 'job' to do.

1995 Nissan Maxima Q&A
1995 Nissan Maxima Question: my car keeps dying in the middle of running and won't restart.
we have replaced the battery the alternator everything runs fine and then the battery goes dead. after starting car i take off the positive battery cable and car still runs. help I can't afford massive repairs. car doesn't make any noise it has to be something with the charge from the alternator to the battery. with a new battery car runs fine for like 3 -4 days - kjjazzyjess
Answer 1
You need to have a proper test of the charging system performed. There are many possibilities, but without actually testing the system with the proper tools, it's all guesswork. What is the alternator amperage output? What is the condition of the battery cables? Has the new battery passed a load test? Is it the right battery for the car? - Bret Bodas

We enjoyed visiting Bernie's Oyster House Thursday. when we walked in through the back entrance and found our self walking inside due to the heat of being outside. Although it looked nice. When we sat at a table we were brought menus and by that time of day we were terribly hungry so everything looked good. We ended up getting a combination platter of shrimp and oysters and a few appetizers, which were very good. The food was wonderfully satisfying, service was great. Never caught her name but my husband nicknamed her "Tennessee". So anyone who Visits Tybee Island should give Bernie's a try because compared to other restaurants we tried, this was one of our favorites.

It is not the same everywhere. There are manycompanies that are exciting to work for, have an enthusiasmfor their customers, and their business, anddeveloping new technologies. They're on the cutting edge.Safety devices are not cutting edge. Look at companieslike Molecular Device, PE Biosystems, Agilent, eventhe dreaded Beckman Coulter. Look at what they bringto market, talk to their sales people. BD used to belike these companies, the "One Company" approach hasnot worked in the past with other comapnies, is notworking now, and will probably be tinkered with againbefore all is said an done. Market specialization, anddiversification in the biotech marketplace is essential for BDsurvival. The fact that BDB is a business in excess of $1billion dollars should offer some clue. BD used to be thegreat company that Cleteo dreamed it should be, itwasn't long ago the stock was $80! Oh, and in myopinion, my analysis of the business is correct, $27 ashare yesterday, get real!

The Coming Of The Global Mobile
by Tina Wells on Apr 28, 10:19 AM
Teens have grown up this world of "instanity," where information, photos, and prices (when they're shopping) are just one click away. They are also just a security checkpoint and a passport stamp away from almost anywhere in the world, where they can witness firsthand how cultures all over the globe listen to (and create) their music and tuck their jeans into their sneakers. How are today's marketers supposed to keep up with that?

Why Mobile Is The Way To Target Teens This Summer
by Frank O'Brien on Apr 21, 9:26 AM
Teens will spend more time texting this summer than communicating in any other way. Research by the Nielsen company shows that teen texting is on a steep rise: the average teenager sends more than 3,000 texts per month -- that's more than six texts per daytime hour!

Smartphones, Wise Teens?
by Jeffrey K. Rohrs on Apr 14, 10:33 AM
I don't have the answers, but I do have a singular hope. Namely, that these smartphone-wielding teens will tap the power of the mobile web in ways that are wise beyond their years, and that maybe -- just maybe -- their smartphone-free school days will teach them that they are not slaves to technology, but masters of it.

The Pros And Cons Of Anonymity Online
by David Trahan on Apr 7, 8:32 AM
Anonymity is one of the great gifts of the Internet, because it allows people to explore new interests and express opinions without anyone knowing who they are. It's protective, it's empowering, and it's dangerous. For those who have learned the lessons of life to an extent that they can understand themselves and where they fit in the world, anonymity may not be all that bad, but for teens who are still figuring it all out, anonymity may do more bad than good.

GLEN, N.H. (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said on Saturday the United States has to be "much smarter" about how it deals with Russian President Vladimir Putin. "That's why we have to be much smarter in how we deal with Putin and how we deal with his ambitions," Clinton said at a campaign event. "He's not an easy man ... But I don't think there is any substitute other than constant engagement." (Reporting by Amanda Becker; Writing by Eric Beech; Editing by Sandra Maler)
By Katie Reilly NEW YORK (Reuters) - Americans marched in star-spangled parades, ran relay races, gathered for fireworks shows and crowned a new world hot dog eating champion as they celebrated Independence Day in traditional style on Saturday. Possible security threats, wildfires in the West and rainy weather on the East Coast apparently did little to dampen the spirits of celebrants decked out in red, white and blue from their headbands to their shoelaces. Crowds at Boston's Old State House erupted in applause and cannons shot out tri-color confetti after the annual July Fourth reading of the Declaration of Independence.
