Bad Religion
Rough estimate, by the critic's watch, of when Bad Religion began playing, hard, at the U.S. Cellular Connection Stage Sunday night: 10:01. Rough estimate of when the SoCal punk-rock band finished off its fourth song: 10:08. »Read Full Article(1)
Eagles take it easy at Marcus Amphitheater
The news flash from the Eagles' closing-night gig at Summerfest's Marcus Amphitheater on Sunday night is that Bernie Leadon appears to be at least partway back in the band.
Eagles' historians will remember that Leadon, an original band member, exited the group in rather definitive fashion way back in 1975 when he poured a bottle of beer over Glenn Frey's head. »Read Full Article(9)

What is a Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT)?
The Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) is a position sensing device that provides an AC output voltage proportional to the displacement of its core passing through its windings. LVDTs provide linear output for small displacements where the core remains within the primary coils. The exact distance is a function of the geometry of the LVDT.
Theory of Operation
An LVDT is much like any other transformer in that it consists of a primary coil, secondary coils, and a magnetic core. An alternating current, known as the carrier signal, is produced in the primary coil. The changing current in the primary coil produces a varying magnetic field around the core. This magnetic field induces an alternating (AC) voltage in the secondary coilsthat are in proximity to the core. As with any transformer, the voltage of the induced signal in the secondary coil is linearly related to the number of coils. The basic transformer relation is:
- where:
- Vout is the voltage at the output,
- Vin is the voltage at the input,
- Nout is the number of windings of the output coil, and
- Nin is the number of windings of the input coil.
As the core is displaced, the number of coils in the secondary coil exposed to the coil changes linearly. Therefore the amplitude of the induced signal varies linearly with displacement.
The LVDT indicates direction of displacement by having the two secondary coils whose outputs are balanced against one another. The secondary coils in an LVDT are connected in the opposite sense (one clockwise, the other counter clockwise). Thus when the same varying magnetic field is applied to both secondary coils, their output voltages have the same amplitude but differ in sign. The outputs from the two secondary coils are summed together, usually by simply connecting the secondary coils together at a common center point. At an equilibrium position (generally zero displacement) a zero output signal is produced.
The induced AC signal is then demodulated so that a DC voltage that is sensitive to the amplitude and phase of the AC signal is produced.Carrier Demodulator
In practice, LVDTs are used with carrier demodulator modules that provide the carrier signal (the AC signal to the primary coil) and converts (or demodulates) the induced AC signal to a DC signal.
The phase sensitive demodulator is an AC to DC converter that produces a DC voltage (typically between 0 and 10 volts) proportional to the magnitude of the LVDT output and sensitive to the phase of the output signal relative to the input (carrier) signal.When the core is displaced to one side of the primary, the LVDT output is in phase with the input and the demodulator produces a positive signal. When the core is displaced to the other side, the LVDT output is 180 degrees out of phase with the signal to the primary. The demodulator output is then a negative voltage proportional to the displacement. (from university of california, berkeley)

By Justin Wastnage in LondonFollowers of the much-speculated US Aurora hypersonic military jet received a boost today thanks to closer reading of a recently declassified UK defence ministry report into unidentified flying objects (UFOs). UK broadcaster BBC picked through the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK Air Defence Region report, written between 1996-2000 by a Ministry of Defence intelligence expert and kept secret until last month. The broadcaster's showcase television news analysis programme Newsnight claims that although released under the country's freedom of information act, parts that remain censored lend credibility to claims that the US military has developed a cryogenic fuel-powered successor to the SR-71 Blackbird supersonic jet. A triangular jet with top speeds of Mach 6, thought to have been dubbed Aurora at one time, has long been believed to have been developed as part of the USA's Special Access, or "black" programmes. The Aurora is likely to be have been developed by Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works for Special Access programmes, located in Groom Lake, Nevada. Many sightings of UFOs have been spotted over Groom Lake, leading enthusiasts to identify their spottings as alien spacecraft rather than super-advanced aircraft. The Groom Lake military range is also known as Area 51.
Several sightings of the Aurora (an airtist's impression of which is pictured above) have been reported among UFO enthusiasts in the UK's sector of the North Sea, as the Special Access project team is believed to have tested the aircraft over the North Atlantic to avoid the hypersonic boom, or skyquakes, heard over the Californian Pacific coast off Los Angeles as the aircraft headed home after test sorties. The UK government has censored what appears to be a reference to these sightings from the newly-released report. US officials have never acknowledged the existence of the programme and the UK government has routinely denied any prior knowledge of US black projects. However Newsnight found two omissions to the censor's pen, buried deep in the UFO report, which stated that the US Air Force plans to produce "highly supersonic vehicles at M4-6" as well as hypersonic unmanned air vehicles. It also reports a USAF priority plan to produce an air-breathing aircraft with a M8-12 capability. Two photographs have been blacked out on the public version of the once-top secret report and several paragraphs of text also been crossed through
Aurora's predecessor, the SR-71, performed a series of record-setting flights in the mid-1970s including New York to London and London to Los Angeles, a distance of 8,795km (4,754nm), which the aircraft flew in 3h47min. The following video, from Lockheed Martin, shows the aircraft on public display at the 1974 Farnborough air show ahead of the flights as well as the record-breaking sortie.

From Animals to Animats 6: Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Simulation of Adaptive Behavior (Complex Adaptive Systems)
The Animals to Animats Conference brings together researchers from ethology, psychology, ecology, artificial intelligence, artificial life, robotics, engineering, and related fields to further understanding of the behaviors and underlying mechanisms that allow natural and synthetic agents (animats) to adapt and survive in uncertain environments. The work presented focuses on well-defined models--robotic, computer-simulation, and mathematical--that help to characterize and compare various organizational principles or architectures underlying adaptive behavior in both natural animals and animats.

Exploring Unknown Deep-Sea Biomedical Resources
Scientists from the new state-funded Center of Excellence in Biomedical and Marine Biotechnology will spend the next two weeks exploring never before seen sections of deepwater coral reefs rich with life off Florida's east coast and the Keys. The team, with members from Harbor Branch Oceanographic and Florida Atlantic University, will be using Harbor Branch's Johnson-Sea-Link I (JSLI) submersible and scuba in a search for marine creatures that produce chemicals with the potential to cure human diseases ranging from cancer to Alzheimer's.
Amazingly, vast stretches of vibrant seafloor lay unexplored just a few miles from major ports such as Miami, and the team expects to make important discoveries as they tap these previously hidden biomedical treasure troves for the first time. FAU's Department of Ocean Engineering has been using an unmanned autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) to map the area and has discovered some of the promising sites that will be explored using the submersible.
Similar expeditions by Harbor Branch off Florida and around the world have already yielded numerous chemicals that show great promise in fighting cancer, infections, and other afflictions. One, a compound called discodermolide, has proven an effective cancer cell killer, even in tumors that are resistant to Taxol©, one of the best treatments currently available for breast and other cancers. It is now in the first phase of human clinical trials as a treatment for many forms of solid malignancies such as pancreatic cancer.
The expedition, the first for the Center of Excellence, will depart from Harbor Branch's Ft. Pierce campus on May 20 aboard the institution's Seward Johnson research vessel headed for deepwater reefs off the coast of North Florida. The team will then work its way south to Ft. Lauderdale exploring areas of rock and reef bottom that appear promising based on contours identified with sonar maps. From Ft. Lauderdale south through the Keys, the group will continue exploring areas as deep as 3,000 feet using the submersible, but will also use scuba to collect invertebrates from shallower reefs. They will return to Harbor Branch on June 2.
The team will use the submersible to video and photograph the sea life they encounter and to collect small samples of such organisms as sponges, soft corals and cone snails for further study. The scientists will test the potential of chemicals produced by these animals to fight disease first through simple experiments on board the ship and later with more elaborate tests in their respective labs. For instance, chemicals will be tested to determine if they kill cancer cells or effect the electrical activity within neurological cells, which can be an indicator of potential to treat pain or neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's.
Those chemicals that show promise will then undergo intensive studies to determine their chemical structure and the biological activity that gives them disease-fighting properties. Chemicals that continue to show promise throughout this process would ultimately be licensed to pharmaceutical companies for possible development as new drugs.
Center of Excellence in Biomedical and Marine Biotechnology
The Center of Excellence was created with $10 million in state funding in 2003. It is based at FAU and combines the expertise of Harbor Branch, Florida International University, Nova Southeastern University, the Smithsonian Marine Station at Ft. Pierce, and several private companies.
The overall goal for the Center of Excellence is to promote the discovery, development, and commercialization in Florida of new medicines and other products. Center funding is intended as seed money to further expand Florida's emerging marine biotechnology industry over the next two years with the goal of attracting longer-term funding from federal and commercial sources.
Besides funding one expedition per year, Center of Excellence money is being used to:
2) design and build a high-definition camera system that can be carried on an AUV to map new seafloor sites
3) to purchase equipment that will greatly enhance member institutions' ability to rapidly and accurately analyze the pharmaceutical potential of new chemical compounds.

The Sweetwater-Nolan County Health Department will be administering flu vaccine on Thursday, Sept. 13, and Tuesday, Sept. 25 from 8-11:30 a.m. and 1-4:30 p.m. and on Wednesdays, thereafter. The cost is $20 for all adults; Medicare Part B is accepted. The cost is $6 for children (six months to 18 years) with no insurance. Medicaid and CHIPS are accepted. If children have private insurance, the health department has to refer them to their physician unless insurance does not pay for vaccine. The health department can vaccine children for $20 using their private stock vaccine and not state vaccine.
The Sweetwater-Nolan County Health Department will be at the Roscoe Community Center on Tuesday, Oct. 2, from 1:30-4 p.m. to administer the flu vaccine, and at Blackwell school on Thursday, Oct. 4 from 9-11 a.m.
"We do want to stress to the community that our flu vaccine is for all adults," said Linda Kite with SNCHD. "We have had to turn away all adults that have private insurance for vaccine that is provided by the state. We purchase the flu vaccine so we can give it to anyone who wants to pay $20."
The children's flu vaccine is obtained from state so the SNCHD has to follow the rules about referring to physicians if their private insurance pays for the vaccine.
Influenza infections are caused by Influenza A and Influenza B viruses. The influenza viruses can shift or change, therefore, each year's vaccine may be different from the year before. The 2012-2013 vaccine is different from last year's as the strains in the vaccine changed.
The 2012/2013 trivalent influenza vaccine (FLUZONE) contains A/California/07/2009 (H1N1) - like, A/Victoria/361/2011 (H3N2) - like, and B/Wisconsin/2/2010 - like antigens.
Fluzone is approved for persons six months of age and older.
Fluzone is:
• propagated in embryonic chicken eggs.
• is a clear to slightly opalescent suspension.
• contains 0.05% gelatin per dose as a stabilizer.
• contains thimerosal 25 meg per dose as a preservative in multi-dose vials.
• does not contain antibiotics.
• only preservative free if is labeled as such.
• all presentations of Fluzone are latex free (new).
Fluzone should not be administered to persons who have ever had a severe allergic reaction to eggs or egg proteins, ever had a severe reaction after getting any flu vaccine, has an allergy to thimerosal or gelatin.
Persons who have had the following should consult their physician before Fluzone is administered:
• hives.
• swelling of the lips or tongue.
• acute respiratory distress.
• collapsed after eating eggs.
Persons with the following should not receive Fluzone:
• neurological problems.
• prior history of Guillain-Barre syndrome.
Persons with the following may not obtain the expected antibody response upon receiving Fluzone:
• immunosuppressant due to HIV, AIDS or ARC
• leukemia.
• lymphoma.
• generalized malignancy.
• use of corticosteroids (20 mg daily for more than two weeks).
• cortisone use discontinued less than one month prior to vaccination.
• use of alkylating drugs.
• use of antimetabolites.
The health department wants to encourage residents to use preventive actions against Influenza:
• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, to avoid spreading germs.
• Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
• If you are sick with flu-like illness, CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. (Your fever should be gone for 24 hours without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.)
• While sick, limit contact with others as much as possible to keep from infecting them.
• Get vaccinated for the flu.

Brian Deese is slated to become OMB deputy director. (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)
Brian Deese, slated to serve as deputy director on the budget side of the Office of Management and Budget, faced a friendly confirmation hearing, with no Republican members of the Senate Homeland Security and Oversight Committee on hand to ask tough questions.
Deese, 35, has served the Obama administration in a variety of economic policy roles, most notably as a leader on the government task force that restructured and revived U.S. automakers General Motors and Chrysler. If confirmed, Deese will replace Heather Higginbottom, who left OMB to take a senior post in the State Department in February.
The hearing mostly focused on high level taxation and budget reform issues, but Deese indicated an interest in issues of government efficiency such as improper payments and improving the management of the federal real estate portfolio that are near and dear to Committee chairman Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.)
The OMB leadership for President Obama's second term is starting to take shape, with the recent confirmation of director Sylvia Mathews Burwell, the nomination of Deese to head the budget side, and the nomination of Georgetown law professor Howard Shelanski to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. The president has yet to name a replacement for Jeffrey Zients, who recently resigned as acting director and head of the management side of OMB.

text: Olympics Olympian Erin Hamlin comes home to a town shining like bronze By David Sommerstein • Mar 1, 2014 David Sommerstein/NCPR America's first athlete to win a medal in singles luge was treated to a homecoming fit for a hero last night. Erin Hamlin's thrilling runs on the luge track in Sochi, Russia earned her the bronze. After interviews, celebrity appearances, and photo shoots in New York City this week, Hamlin touched down at the Syracuse airport. A police escort and fire trucks guided her past miles of cheering crowds to the tiny town of Remsen in the foothills of the southern Adirondacks. Olympian Erin Hamlin welcomed home after historic performance By Ryan Delaney • Feb 27, 2014 Ryan Delaney / WRVO A small group of family and friends made the arrivals lounge at the Syracuse airport sound more like the bottom on the Olympic luge track Thursday evening. They were welcoming home Remsen, N.Y. native and Olympic medalist Erin Hamlin. Hamlin became the first American to ever medal in singles luge when she slid to bronze at the Sochi Winter Games this month. "It's a different world for her right now," her mother, Eileen Hamlin, said. Special Olympics get underway in Syracuse this weekend By Ryan Delaney • Feb 21, 2014 Almost 700 athletes will file into the OnCenter in downtown Syracuse this evening to kick-off this year's New York Special Olympic Games. The OnCenter will also host floor hockey competition. Alpine skiing will be at Greek Peak. And there are snowshoeing and cross-country ski races too. Stacey Eder, the volunteer coordinator for the Special Olympics, says having their annual event coincide with the Winter Olympics in Russia will add to the excitement. Remsen native first American to medal in singles luge By Ryan Delaney • Feb 11, 2014 sam_churchhill / via Flickr Mohawk Valley native Erin Hamlin has become the first American to win an Olympic medal in singles luge. Hamlin slid to a third place finish and a bronze medal today at the winter games in Sochi, Russia. It was her third time completing in the Olympics. She was world champion in 2009, but she had finished out of the top 10 at the last two games. The 27-year-old is from Remsen, N.Y., about 20 miles north of Utica. "I'm sure everyone at home is going crazy," Hamlin told the Associated Press, "and I can't wait to get home to see them." Olympics-bound Chobani yogurt stuck in customs By Ryan Delaney • Feb 5, 2014 messycupcakes / Flickr A shipment of Chobani Greek yogurt bound for the Olympics is still stuck in customs at a New Jersey airport. The upstate New York yogurt maker is a sponsor of the U.S. Olympic team. The yogurt is supposed to feed American athletes competing at the winter games in Sochi, Russia. New York Sen. Charles Schumer has urged the Russian ambassador to the United States to let the yogurt leave the country.

The excitement and challenge of his successful 2013 Dakar completion has brought native Colombian, Marco Saldarriaga, back to South America with Freedom Rally Racing for 2014. Last year was his first time entering into an adventure of this caliber and looks forward to another successful rally finish. Marco being a rookie pilot, shows how skilled a rider he has become in such a short time.
It wasnt so long ago that Marco Antonio first joined the world of motorcycling, but quickly progressed. In 2010 he won a national title at a Colombian rally. Off the track he has developed a motorcycle accessory business to develop and improve, among other things, a road book which was presented at the 2013 Dakar. His ambitions are those of a well prepared rookie and is well versed in what is needed. Marco was awarded a VIP trip to Dakar in 2010, where he discovered the world of the bivouac site and watched Marc Coma, the Prohens and other amateurs. He saw the magnitude of the challenge but realized that they were just pilots like him who could face the Dakar. Marco Antonio quickly decided join the story.
I am 100% a bike lover. The trial started about 15 years ago after lots of participation in Mountain bike and Cyclo Cross. At my company we develop a new type of road book, leading us into the rallies, participating in competitions like this in my own country. On a Yamaha, I got a Ténéré 660 to go from Colombia to Chile with a rest day in Arica. It was a nice adventure. Upon arrival I discovered the world of Dakar. Upon entering the bivouac, what I thought was impossible, was achievable but challenging. Here I am now, to start my own story with the Dakar as part of the team that rode with many of our products which are beginning to be recognized, and we are equipped, for example, Ignacio Casale quadricycle.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 11/7/12
Hang Tough: Better days are coming. Mets fans have had a solid month to reflect after another disappointing season in 2012. For some of us, it has been a time to cool off. While many fans may not be happy about the direction of the team–I assure you, things are going to get better. It may not look like it right now, but the Mets do have a bright future. Everyone gets caught up about fixing the situation right now, but the fact of the matter is 2014 is right around the corner. I don't expect the Mets to do anything this off-season. And it doesn't really matter. The Mets really shouldn't make any trades (unless something really big comes along–see below), or sign any significant free agents this off-season. The first and only thing the Mets have to do this winter is get David Wright signed to an extension. Aside from that, they should look to sign a solid bullpen arm like Jonathan Broxton or Ryan Madson. If they want to take a risk they should also bring in Joakim Soria, who can proba...

WALLA WALLA -- A Portland man was reported in critical condition today after a car smashed into a bus shelter early Sunday.
According to police reports, the crash was reported at 12:16 a.m. Sunday in front of 1120 West Rose St. when an eastbound car crossed into the westbound lane and then struck the bus shelter, shattering it into pieces.
A man standing in the shelter, Timothy R. Wood, 51, was taken to Providence St. Mary Medical Center and later airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. He is reported in critical condition today, said city police Officer Tim Bennett.
According to a probable cause statement filed in Walla Walla Superior Court today, the witness told police the car that struck the shelter sped off west on Rose Street. Marks on the roadway left by the damaged vehicle led police to a home at 1114 S.E. Scenic View Drive in College Place, where they arrested Marsha-Gaye M. Hogg, 33, of that address.
Hogg was booked into the Walla Walla County Jail on investigation of vehicular assault and hit and run. She was being held today on $10,000 bond, according to court records.

Because it is. The way it is has unfolded in this case, over the last year or so, it's bashing.
The same as when it was Stubbs being bashed by certain folks.
What is missing, sometimes, from this very wonderful part of the forum, is a longer view. We tend, sometimes, as a board, to focus on the micro and miss the macro. And miss that sometimes, guys improve.
Maybe in time that evolved to 'bashing' Stubbs, but it was born out of the frustration of watching Lincecum evolve into one of the top pitchers in baseball.
I don't think anyone here actively roots against players. And the comment about Francisco having trouble with inside breaking balls was a fair one, because he'll have to make that adjustment to have success on the next level.
"The players make the manager, it's never the other way." - Sparky Anderson
Ultimately, at some point, the player will show the way. Francisco is one guy I've liked for several years and it's been annoying to see the ridiculous placements he gets on RedsZone polls, etc. But there's no reason to debate it, the player will show the way.
On the other hand, I've not been particularly high on Stubbs -- yet I've been excited to see him do well his first two days in the big leagues and, at least initially, he looks like he belongs.
People can bash these kids if they want, but at the end we will be suprised how well some do and grossly disappointed in others.
Bashing of players is par for the course on these forums. Ignore it. The only opinion that matters is the collective opinion of the decision makers on the team.
Last edited by Kc61; 08-20-2009 at 04:42 PM.
Seems like frustration as opposed to bashing...maybe frustration is bashing in your dictionary, but not mine. Francisco would be the Reds #1 prospect if he showed the ability to recognize pitches out of the strike zone with consistency. That's a fact. He has tremendous power and has put up pretty good numbers despite that 'flaw' if you will. He still has the potential to be a really good MLB player and I for one hope he develops into one.
In that same thread I had this to say about Francisco
Have fun.
Funny part of the whole discussion is that Francisco made over 30 errors at 3B at AA. Now that's an area worth watching closely.
McCoy suggested today that Rolen is blocking Francisco at third base. I don't quite see that. Hard to see Cisco at third in the major leagues real soon with all those errors.

I left Match.com, then watched the emails pile...
I left Match.com, then watched the emails pile up. So like Charlie Brown running for the football yet again, I ponied up the cash for one more month. I fully expect to be reflecting on the wisdom of this move after I've landed on the flat of my back. "Let's be bestest buddies, and if there's chemistry, we can move on to romance." Gracias, pero no gracias. I've got *tons* of friends. I know many women where we like each other well enough. I make 'em laugh; we are an intellectual, moral, and recreational match. We both love Long Walks On The Beach, Fine Dining, and Can Go From Jeans-And-A-Tee-Shirt to A-Little-Black-Dress-And-Pearls In The Bat Of An Eyelash (although I had to have my LBD tailored -- you should have seen the looks on their faces at Neiman Marcus). But love is not an option for some reason. I've got plenty of those. As sung by Freddie Mercury (RIP): "Can Anybody find me somebody to love?" For real, this time. Recently, I've wondered why Match.com doesn't come with a "She wouldn't be interested" button, which, half the time, is why I don't pursue things. I have a hard enough time getting a second date with women who are in my league... it's all very fine to have one's reach exceed one's grasp, but the resulting fall to earth is not quite as poetic. If your profile has language to effect of "only REAL men need apply"... go away. I'm not "real" enough for you. And I want a more evolved woman. I'm educated (my field is an interesting combination of high-tech and old-fashioned scholarship), multilingual, musically-inclined (but you'll be doing the world a favor if you keep the guitar away from me), and a decorated war vet (but it's not this cornerstone of my identity). I'm a former missionary (*so* not that anymore), sometime translator, decent cook. I get passionate about what I think is important. In the flesh, I present with some imperfections, but it is my experience that we all do, sooner or later. Case in point? Look really hard at my picture: you should see Fred Flintstone staring back at you. Oh, and I'm on dialysis, three times a week. For some reason, that's a deal-breaker for many of you out there. I dunno why, it's not exactly contagious... still, if it makes you want to run, run along, then, and good luck to you. Who am I looking for? My list of requirements have shifted somewhat since I was in my twenties, from things like "double-jointed, looks like a swimwear model" to "is nice to me." A sense of humor that goes from Oscar Wilde clear to South Park. Preferably someone whose profile doesn't include a long and bitter litany of Ways Men Have Done Them Wrong. Someone who believes in something noble and is willing to stand for it. More smarts than vanity, with more balm than bile, more bang than flash, more ayes than noes, and more kisses than not. Intelligence and confidence are as sexy as hell. But mostly, it's about the Nice -- a little good will goes a long way. Double-jointed still gets bonus points. So much for the list. I'm willing to concede that I may be dead wrong on the individual items. Of far greater import is the impact. If all goes according to plan (ha!), I've lived out half my life. My children are moving into adulthood, and I have every intention of seeing what the second half has to offer. I'm looking for someone who I would rather spend time with than do anything else. Someone who has me making a fool of myself, and not even caring. I want to be moved to write outrageous poetry, make confession-worthy desserts, and generally contriving as many opportunities as I can to be in her company. And she has to put up with me; there's the rub. I have faith you're out there somewhere. Maybe not on Match. But out there.

I really haven't paid to much attention to the post-season, but everytime I do divert my attention to it the yankkees seem to been getting another break from the umpires.
Joe Mauer hits a ball that is a clearly fair ground rule double, but the ump blows to call. Of course, he would not have scored late the analysts saybecause he did hit a single later and did not score.
Mariano Rivera is captured on video doctoring the ball, but the umps don't see it so it's a-okay. Yanks win.
Angel catcher tags two Yankees out at third, but the ump says I thought one of them was on base. Of course it didn't affect the outcome of the game because neither scored the analysts say. Yankees win again.
Angel SS or 2b man (I don't know which is said to be off bag on a double play so it is not a double play. So the 3B umpire is blind for the Yankees and the 2B umpire sees all for the Yankees.
Guess i'm not missing much. MLB has already decided the Yankees will win. Why are they even saelling tickets to this canrnival?

COLUMBIA CITY — Activities and entertainment are scheduled for the Whitley County Fall Festival at Morsches Park Saturday from 1 to 9 p.m.
"This is event is full of family fun," Mark Green, Columbia City Parks Department director. "No matter what your age, there is something for everyone this year."
Launching the festival will be a 5K Pumpkin Run at 1 p.m., hosted by Parkview Whitley Hospital and a cornhole tournament at the Whitley County YMCA.
Green said last year's event, in its inaugural year, was a starting point for what is now an annual event.
"Last year we had the festival in order to have something in place of the fourth of July cancellations," Green said. "The fall event was a success even with the bad weather. People came out to support it and it made sense to have it again."
With this year's event, Green said there are some changes. One shift festival goers will notice is the fireworks display to go off approximately 9 p.m.
To read the rest of this story and a schedule of Fall Festival events, see the Sept. 12 issue of The Post and Mail. Don't have a subscription? Call (260) 244-5153 or subscribe to our e-edition.

Exactly what I wanted
I like how you are able to go at anytime that is convenient. I think it would be good if you could check online to see how many people are there using the gym as there have been times it has been so busy I have not been able to use the equipment I wanted.
Love the gym and the equipment available is spot on!!
good clean gym with everything you need
Iam happy to become a member of gym
Perfect equipment and well maintained in a very clean gym A++++++++
I believe the facilities are very good, shame it is always packed which reduced the equipment you want to use
Too many texts and emails though
Nice atmosphere but short on parking and very busy during peak times. Could do with more staff around at peak times
Probably the cleanest, and friendliest gym I've been to, and I've been a member of the 2 larger/well known gyms in Ashford.
Very pleasant atmosphere, likeable and helpful staff, excellent value for money.
Was easy to set up. Been able to enter the gym without any issues. Gym is nice and clean and lots of equipment to choose from
I joined your gym around 2 weeks ago, I'm extremely happy with everything that you have to offer. The facilities are amazing and I'm already reaping the benefits of my new workouts, I also believe that the no contract and gym being available 24/7 is pure genius, long may this great gym continue!!.
Gym great changing rooms to small. Even when gym is not busy had to get room to change and have a shower.
Excellent staff and great value for money!!
Intensive and very informative
Clean, plenty of machines - friendly and professional staff.
I love the fact its 24 hours :)
My first time time going a gym. The team is helpful with any questions and making me feel relaxed.

BRIDGE I. The tolls on the bridge-tunnel have not been cut, really. Citizens who pay for the roadways that lead to the bridge should not have to pay for crossing the bridge. It is still America. Why are they charging so much money?
BRIDGE II. The new rule that would make everyone get an EZ Pass if they want a Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel discount shows how out of touch all of the bridge-tunnel's commission and administration really are. Maybe the supervisors now can do a study on exactly how many Northampton County residents have EZ Pass. The associated credit card charges will wipe out any savings.
BRIDGE III. The bridge-tunnel should lower the toll for everybody to $5, not just commuters.
BRIDGE IV. I am glad that everyone who gets a discounted rate on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel must have an EZ Pass. That should mean when the employees get a free trip across, they must first pay via EZ Pass and have it rebated on their credit card, just like everyone else. If not, that's a double standard. Maybe we just need to call the bridge the Chesapeake Bay Double-Standard.
READING. Congratulations to Mr. Parks for his reading accomplishments featured in Wednesday's Eastern Shore News. It was mentioned that he applied for jobs he was qualified for, including the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, but he didn't qualify because he didn't have a high-school diploma or GED. I know, for a fact, of at least one longtime employee who had neither one.
CRIME. Some of the crime taking place on the Eastern Shore is eye-opening. We have a significant moral problem around here.
SOLAR. I just read the Two Cents' Worth on solar power. The person said their electrical bills were less than $10 per month and they spent $20,000 on the system. In 10 years, it paid for itself. For that to happen, she was paying $2,000 a year on electricity. That boggles my mind. The most I've ever used is $700 for electricity in an entire year. There are a lot of us here on the Shore who are not wealthy. We get by just fine whenever we lose power because we have wood stoves, hand pumps and small generators.
NATION. Nobody seems to be certain how Americans died in Benghazi, Libya. We don't want to know what the government is doing. If we keep our head in the sand, we can continue to get our freebies. Let's not hold anybody accountable because it may cost us something.
CAPE CHARLES. The town's goals should be to save our prime park assets and not give our money away. Whoever negotiated the real-estate contract with the developer needs to be sent to stay on the broken-down Carnival cruise ship.
WELFARE. I went to Food Lion this afternoon and grabbed a few items. In front of me in the checkout line was a woman with a big shopping cart. She had baby diapers, T-bone steaks, porterhouse steaks, a 12-pack of beer and a couple bottles of wine. She pulled out her food stamp card and paid cash for the alcohol. As I was leaving I saw her get into a really nice SUV with a man driving. What the heck is going on these days? I guess I am working to support people who don't work.

Not sure of how much performance you get out of these, but they look great. Still breaking (braking lol) them in at the moment, overall performance is better than OEM. Only Con I have is the slotted sections have slight rust marks already after only 400 miles from a few rainy days. I think this will fade though as more brake pade wear falls into the slots. Overall great product; you'll get lots of compliments

If you're starting a team and all current players are available, Ichiro would be selected before dunn everytime. Or at least he should be.

Total run production is all that matters at the end of the day...everything else is smoke and mirrors. Dunn wins by a nose 151-150.

Originally written on Baseball Hot Corner | Last updated 5/5/13
The last time that right-hand starting pitcher Kevin Slowey received a winning decision was on September 18, 2010. At least, that was the case. Slowey finally earned a win today, May 5, 2013, pitching seven scoreless innings against the Philadelphia Phillies, allowing two hits and walking a pair while striking out seven during the Miami Marlins 14-2 victory. Slowey has pitched well for the Marlins thus far, as he entered this game with an ERA of 2.15 and a WHIP of 1.009, and has definitely pitched well enough for at least three or four wins. As it stands, Slowey's ERA is now 1.81. Slowey, who celebrated his 29th birthday on Saturday and came into the game with an average of 0.96 runs of support per game, lowest in the Majors, found himself at the plate in the top of the first inning, before he had even thrown a pitch. The Fish had scored a total of eight runs in the six games Slowey had started, but today, he found himself staring at Phillies lead-off hitter Freddy Galvis with a fiv...

Don't cry over the past it is gone. Don't stress about the future it hasn't arrived. Llive in the present and make it beautiful.
A little bit about me.....I was born and raised in S. Calif and moved to GA two years ago. I have two beautiful kids that make me smile every day and they keep me very busy with their sports schedules. As far as me personally I consider myself very easy to get along with, outgoing, honest, affectionate and loving. I really enjoy being spontaneous and traveling to new exciting places. I am close to my family however I do not have any family that live in GA. I am confident in my own skin, happy where I am at in my career and life in general. As far as my likes and interests I enjoy anything outdoors. Fishing, Camping, quad dirt riding and water skiiing are among my favorites. I am not a club hopper but enjoy going out to dinner, watching live music or concerts. Most of the time I enjoy being at home cooking, watching a movie or hanging out with my neighbors enjoying good conversation and wine. I am looking for that special someone who can be my friend first and then build upon that friendship. Could you be the one?
